(screaming)

(gentle music)

(door creaking)

[Aman] Come on I
know your faking.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

(gentle music)

Lie back down.

Pretty but stupid.

(sighs)

I'll be back in a minute mama.

(door creaks)

(tense music)

(gentle music)
(tense music)

Arman? Arman?

Where the hell are you?

I'm on my way to
the rendezvous point.

Problem?

Oh, no problems.

The package will
be on the flight.

(tense music)
(gentle music)

So it is with heavy hearts

that we say goodbye to Bryan.

Beloved father to Allie,
beloved husband to Paige,

ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

In the Lord we pray.

[Crowd] Amen.

(indistinct speaking)

You know dad would
have hated this.

He would have wanted this to
be a celebration of his life.

Not some depressing...

Enough, Allie.

Please don't start
today of all days.

(sighs)

(bright music)

Allie?

...

Hold on.

You need to go Seth
you know how my mom is.

Just a sec.

Call me about
Jared's party, okay?

Okay.

(sighs)

Yeah sure, whatever.

Come in.

Didn't know you
were back, Allie.

You were out when I go home.

Seth gave me a ride.

Yeah, I got that.

I would have been
happy to give you a lift

if you didn't wanna walk.

It's only a couple
blocks, mom.

How was your
last day of school?

Fine.

Did you say all your goodbyes?

Yep.

You didn't take the
lunch I packed.

Can I make you something to eat?

Nope.

How about you give me
something more

than a one word answer.

What do you want, mom?

School sucks.

Life sucks.

I'm not anorexic, okay?

No.

It's not okay, Allie.

We don't talk anymore.

Did we ever?

Fine, let's talk.

What about the car
that you and dad

said you were gonna get from me?

I feel like I'm a prisoner here.

You're not a prisoner, Allie.

I promise I get you something
once we're settled in Iowa.

I just don't think
it's a good thing

for you to be driving while
you're still emotional.

Do you.

Do you wanna talk about dad?

No.

I definitely do not
wanna talk about dad.

I know this is a
really hard time for you.

It's a hard time
for me too, Allie.

And I was hoping we could
help each other through it.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

(gentle music)

Oh, Bryan.

(gentle music)

Oh, great.

Allie?

Honey?

(tense music)

(door creaks)

(Allie sobbing)
(tense music)

Bryan.

(Allie sobbing)
(tense music)

Bryan.

(sobbing)
(tense music)

Allie?

(sighs)

Same recurring nightmare.

Yes, it's always the same.

I just never know
when it's gonna hit.

Maybe the change of
scenery will help.

Possibly.

I know you don't agree with
me moving us to why Iowa.

It's not the move in
particular I object to Paige.

I just don't recommend
any big changes

after experiencing
a personal loss.

You know that.

I know.

I can work in a small town
as well as in a big city.

Maybe better, less distractions.

And my next book's not
due from months yet.

I'm just concerned that
you'll be very isolated.

That's perfect for
thriller writing.

And have Allie.

At least for the summer,
till I can enroll her

in a new school for
her senior year.

How is Allie adjusting

to the thought of moving away?

She hates it.

Honestly she
probably wouldn't go

except she knows that was
what Bryan wanted for us.

That's a strong motivator.

Okay, last question.

Then we're off the clock
on your last session here.

If you had to use one word

to describe how you
feel most of the time

since Bryan's death,
what would it be?

Overwhelmed.

Is it possible
that feeling stems

from the fact that you feel

like you have to tackle
everything by yourself?

Yes, of course.

I mean, Bryan's gone.

I have no family, a few friends,

you know, being bit of a hermit.

But you're not alone, Paige.

For example,
have you given any thought

to a grief counseling group?

Honestly, not really.

I don't feel like I wanna share.

Then don't.

Just listen.

Paige, I keep bringing this up

only because I'm sure there
are people in these groups

who are going through similar
issues with their own kids.

And it might also help
with the loneliness

that can come from starting
over in a new place.

There is a local meeting
of this particular group

right in Hicksley, not far
from the house you've rented,

as your therapist,

but more importantly
as your friend,

promise me, you'll
at least go once.

I promise.

Good.

I'm really gonna
miss you, Dylan.

Oh, ditto.

You do know Donna
is gonna kill me

if you don't keep in
touch with us, right?

(both laugh)

(bright guitar music)

(dog barking)
(bright guitar music)

Just wow.

It's not exactly like
the online pictures.

What a dumb.

Allie.

What?

It is.

Come on.

Better get moving before
the moving trucks arrive.

Why even hire these guys

if we have to schlep
boxes around ourselves.

I really appreciate those
of you who shared tonight.

Thank you.

It's not easy to do.

We're all here for each other.

Only a phone call away,
if you need support.

All right.

(indistinct speaking)

(gentle music)

(gentle piano music)

So sorry.

I did not mean to
scare you like that.

I was lost in
memories, I guess.

It's understandable.

Meetings like this tend to
bring out a lot of that stuff.

Stuff we'd usually
prefer to forget.

They say it's good for you.

Yeah.

So is a root canal.

(laughs)

True.

I um,

I saw you come outside and

thought I'd come
introduce myself.

I remember what
it's like to be new.

I'm Willow.

Nice to meet you, Willow.

I'm Paige.

I lost my husband Chad,
eight months ago

in an industrial accident.

That's my standard greeting,
here anyway.

My husband Bryan
died of a heart attack.

It's been a little
over four weeks.

Ouch.

Glad we got that out
of the way, right?

Oh, you probably think
that's really strange.

I just try to never say
sorry for your loss.

I'm really tired of
hearing that phrase.

Me too.

You have kids?

Yes, a 17 year old
daughter, Allie.

You?

14 year old boy, Evan.

What do you think of group?

It was informative, I guess.

But you were hoping for more.

Am I right?

I don't know.

I just...

Feel lost?

You wanna regroup?

Rethink the rest of your life.

Just don't know where to start.

How do you know that?

I've been in your shoes.

Sorry, of course you have.

I um,

might be able to help actually.

Hold on.

(gentle piano music)

Here.

Dianne?

I'm sorry, who is this?

Someone who can help.

I'm not sure I understand.

You will.

She changed my life, Paige.

Trust me.

Give her a call.

You'll see.

(gentle piano music)

Yeah.

Hi.

You must be Paige.

No, please, don't get up.

Pleasure to meet you.

It's nice to meet you as well.

Can I get you anything?

No, I'm good. Thank you.

I'm glad Willow gave you my
number, and that you called.

I'm not sure
why I did honestly.

Let's call it kismet.

You know, meant to be.

As I mentioned on the phone,

I lost my own husband
five years ago

in a drunk driving accident.

The farm was the
only thing he left me.

So it was important
that I do something

good with it, you know?

You have I looked it
up online after we spoke.

Cooperative community
of women helping women.

That's something to be proud of.

Yeah.

It's a unique place.

Reflect, relax, rejuvenate

and really talk to
people who understand.

It's impressive, Dianne,

what you've built
from a plot of land.

Thank you.

It's my own little mommune,
you know.

Mom, commune, get it.

(laughs)

I like it.

(both laughs)

So what now?

Well, there's a fee of course.

I have plenty.

No, Paige your a known writer,

I'm sure you can cover it.

So it's not just
about the money.

I'm very selective about
who I invite to the farm.

'Cause it's a commitment.

Commitment?

Well I ask each woman to
spend at least three months.

Three months.

I just rented a house
for the next year.

I know it sounds like a lot,

but we invest a lot into the
farm and into each other.

And really a day or two,

or even week doesn't
really fix anything.

Does it?

No, I guess not.

If you want,
you can take some time

and talk it over
with your daughter.

She.

She's the one who found her dad.

Oh.

I am so sorry, Paige.

Sounds like she
needs the farm then.

Maybe even more than you do.

Yes, I think so.

Dianne this is the first thing

that's felt right to me
since Bryan died.

I'd love to bring Allie for
the summer if you'll have us.

Okay.

Thank you.

(gentle music)

Dianne warned me about this.

Geez.

My phone has no service.

I'm sure there'll be lots to
do without your phone, Allie.

How am I gonna keep in
touch with my friends?

I'll ask about a few days off.

But we made a commitment here,
so let's stick to it, okay?

You made a commitment.

Not me.

When I told you about this
place, you agreed to it.

Yeah, that was when
I was going stir crazy

in our craptastic house

before I realized that the farm
is in the middle of nowhere.

(bright music)

It looks more like
a prison than a farm.

Yeah, strange.

(gentle music)

They're here.

Welcome, I'm so glad
you could make it.

You must be Allie.

I'm Dianne.

Nice to meet you, Dianne.

This is Kianna my right
hand and general manager.

I don't know what
I'd do without her.

Welcome to the farm.
So glad you could join us.

You're gonna love it here.

I'm sure we will.

Kianna will take your car
down to our parking lot,

and then she'll take care

of your larger
pieces of luggage.

Keys please.

Oh, okay.

(Dianne, Paige laugh)

Well, let's get you
girls started on the tour.

It's a large piece of property.

There's lots to see.

Dianne, I'm curious

what's with all the
high-tech security?

Well, we are just women

and children here
and it is a bit remote.

So we felt it was important

to take extra safety
precautions.

Makes sense.

So this is our
main dining room.

Wow, it's nice.

I think I was expecting a

bad girl scout summer camp
from 70s for some reason.

Yeah, it actually did
have that look originally

but I used Chad's
life insurance money

to update what I
could after his death.

This is so cool.

Thanks, Allie.

A bell will chime through the
speaker system at mealtime

but if you're hungry in
between just come in anytime

there's always something
available.

Oh Thank God.

My dad was always the
cook in our home, so.

Allie.

This is Chef Joy. She makes
all of the farm fresh food

that we grow ourselves here

into these amazing meals
that you will love.

They're incredible.

I'm sure they are.

All right, follow me
there's a lot more to see.

(Dianne sighs)

Sorry about the hill.

You get a nice workout in.

(laughs)

But these are the main
cabins, as you can see.

And up ahead, this is the living
quarters for the teenagers.

So Allie you're gonna
be sharing a room

with Samantha, it's 4A.

Go ahead and check out.

Moms are just down the way.
[Woman] Hey, Dianne,

how are you?
Hey.

Oh, but I thought...

Yeah, we found it better

to let the teens
feel independent,

you know, let them feel
like grownups here.

It'll strengthen your
relationship with Allie.

You'll see.

Hi Leslie.

Hi roomie, I'm Sam.

I'm Allie.

This is a cool room.

Is that my bunk?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh.

Ah, good. You girls
are getting acquainted.

You wanna take your
new roomie for a tour,

maybe before you meet
your mom at the lake?

Sure.

Follow me, Allie.

We'll start at the barn.

There's roosters, goats, and
some chickens out back.

And this really cute calico
who just had kittens.

We can hold them if you want.

Yeah.

I like animals.

Wait till you see them.

So adorbs.

See you later, mom.

See? It's getting
better already.

So with our greenhouse
and this garden

we really have just about
everything we need.

- Hi.
- Hey, hi.

This is Casey and Dawn.

Mary and Sandy.

And you'll meet
everyone else in time.

It's nice to meet you all.

I'm Paige.

My daughter Allie is
around somewhere

probably cuddling kittens.

(all laughs)

I thought you said
there were only women

and their kids here, Dianne?

Oh yeah.

That's Jon.

He's our handyman.

I keep forgetting he's new.

He doesn't live on the property,

and we really needed some help.

So he's actually a
widower as well.

You know, he hasn't spoken
a word since his wife died.

How sad.

Mm-hmm.

There's more.

And I saw your
Jimmy Kimmel interview.

I was so nervous.

Were you? Of course,
I can imagine.

Oh, perfect timing.

This is Sam's mother.

Tessa, this is Paige.

She does all the fishing
for us at the lake.

Well that's 'cause I'm the one
with my own bait kit and knife.

Actually Sam is the one
who does all the fishing.

I'm just the cleaning crew.

Well, it's nice to
meet you Tessa.

You're daughter's
already made my daughter

feel very welcome.

Oh, that's so nice to hear.

Gosh, she could really
use a new friend.

She's, um, had a tough time.

Allie has as well.

Well then I'm sure they'll
be good for each other.

I hope so.

Um, so I'll see you later?

Maybe we can have
dinner together.

I should be done with
my chores by then.

Lovely, I'll look
forward to it.

Yeah, great. Same.

Okay, I promise we're
almost done with the tour.

Let's get you settled
in building two.

I swear.

Her tongue literally turned
purple.

(chuckles)

No.

That's so funny.

Um...

So Justine and her mom left the
farm,

you know, because she's
not your roommate anymore.

Yeah.

It was weird though.

She didn't even say goodbye.

Just took off.

I thought we were friends but.

Bummer, she seems really
great.

Yeah.

She was.

I'm so grateful for Samantha,

she's really making Allie feel
at home.

Allie is a sweet girl.

Here maybe.

(Tessa chuckles)

It's like, she's a different
person now.

(Sam and Allie laughing)

I like it.

(Tessa chuckles)

The farm has that effect on
people.

I don't mean to pry or
anything

but you know about Brian now
and...

Oh, that's not prying, we
all share here.

Joe is still alive actually.

He was, um, abusive.

That's why I always
carry this knife with me.

I just can't get out of the
habit.

So sorry, Tessa.

I assume you did all as usual?

Yep.

Called cops, moved us into
a crappy little apartment,

even filed a restraining
order, but it didn't matter.

After the last attack, if
Dianne hadn't taken us in,

I don't know what I would have
done.

I'm so glad she could help.

Me too.

We've been here almost six
months now.

Six months?

I know I need to get Sam
back into school but I just...

I feel like right now we just

really need to focus on healing.

Right?

Right.

I got it, mom.

Oh. Thanks, sweetie.

You're welcome.

Lemme go back and wash
so the kids can hang out.

Oh, but I can...

You can do it another night,

I'm sure you've had a long day.

If you don't mind,

- [Tessa] Not at all.
- Thanks.

Sam is amazing.

Glad you like your roommate.

(whispers) Yeah.

Feels strange though
being in separate buildings.

I'm 17, not seven, mom.

I know.

You like it here?

Yeah.

I didn't think I would

but things don't feel as bad
as they did back home so.

I'm really glad, Allie.

Me too.

(gentle music)

Hello?

(gentle music)
(tense music)

Someone there?

(gentle music)
(tense music)

You're a busy lady.

Took me a bit to track you down.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I've just been crazy work
mode the past few days.

Walls were kinda closing in on
me

so I thought I'd bring my office
outside,

get some fresh air.

How are you settling in?

Good.

Chores are giving me time
to think through things.

Reevaluate what's really
important.

Good, and that's the idea.

Maybe I'll come up with
inspiration for my next novel.

(laughs)

I wouldn't be surprised.

Is there something else?

Yes, actually I forgot.

I promised Allie I'd ask
about us getting out of here,

run some errands.

Maybe grab some other daughter
time.

I'm sorry Paige.

I thought we discussed this.

There's no leaving the compound

during the initial three month
commitment.

At all?

No.

The outside world just
brings back bad memories.

It's problems and stress.

It undoes all of the good
self-improvement work

that we do here.

What if I have an emergency?

Well, you would be
welcomed to go, of course,

you couldn't come back

and Allie would stay here
without you

if that was her choice.

I would never allow her to do
that.

She's 17, Paige, and
she's nearly a legal adult.

So as far as I'm concerned
the decision would be hers.

I didn't sign up for this,
Dianne.

Okay look, I understand

that this is all new

and I realized there's the urge
to go back

to the comfortable routine that
you knew.

But Paige try to keep in mind

it's that same routine that got
you here in the first place.

I know that. I just, ju-

- Give it a chance, Paige.

I promise you won't regret it.

I think I'm already regretting
it, Dianne.

(sighs)

Trouble?

No, not yet, but keep an
eye on her.

"It's a prison, not a farm"

Oh, that's an understatement,
Allie.

Sorry?

Oh.

Sorry, I thought you were
talking to me.

No I was just venting.

You okay.

Not really.

I wasn't aware that we'd be
trapped here.

Trapped?

Oh, right.

Sorry, I thought you knew

it's kinda one of the
big rules around here.

No.

Dianne neglected to tell us.

I swear, I just wanna take
Allie and get her out of here.

Go back and give Dianne
a piece of my mind and...

Don't.

Just don't.

What? Why not?

Dianne can be difficult.

Difficult?

She has no idea.

If she thinks that I'm going to
be...

I get it, trust me. I do.

I've been here half a
year, remember?

But you're new here,

so try to follow Dianne's rules.

You're-your're just here for
three months anyway,

right?

No biggie.

Is there something about Dianne
that I should know, Tessa?

No. No, um...

No, Dianne's great.

She just, she kind of
controls things around here.

So you don't wanna get on her
bad side.

All right?

Okay.

So I'll see you when I
get back from the lake.

Okay?

Okay.

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

Does say it's electrified.

That's something.

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

Ah!

What the hell are you doing?

Get off me.

Let me up.

I promise I won't try it again.

Just get off me.

Wait a minute.

Wait.

What are you doing?

Why did you do that?

What is wrong with you?

Obviously, I didn't see that.

I guess I owe you an apology.

Sorry.

(gentle music)

(gun cocking)

(sighs)

Allie.

What?
I'm hungry.

The blue berries are for
everyone.

Pick them, don't eat them.

Okay, mom.

So have you always been perfect
girl?

What?

No.

Aha.

I swear.

Let me guess.

You broke your mom's favorite
vase

and blamed it on the dog.

No.

You stole a bunch of munchies

from the local convenience
store.

I got it.

You became a drug mule and...

, Allie.

I picked locks, okay.

Bull...

It's true.

My dad used to lock me in my
room

so I finally picked up a lock
pick set

at the local pawn shop.

Watched a buttload of YouTube
videos,

and practiced till I got out.

You've got to show me.

No, no way.

I don't do that anymore.

Come on, Sam.

I'll wear you down.

I promise.

Please!

What is that?

What's what?

Allie?

Wow.

Just wow.

I know.

It's beautiful.

This is where my mom and I fish.

Let's take a little break.

We're gonna get in trouble.

Come on, Sam.

We're too young to never have
any fun.

Where's that lock picker spirit?

Come on.

Lock picker spirit?

Come on.

It's amazing.

Fine.

But only for a few minutes.

This is nice.

Told you.

(bird croaking)

Oh my gosh, what are you
doing?

(Allie laughs)

You're going to regret that.

(Allie laughs)

Damn it.

Damn it.

(sighs)

Damn it.

Not sure I'd want those
to be my first words

spoken after a long silence,
but to each his own.

(breathing deeply)

I heard you, Jon. So you can
talk to me.

I came here to Thank you,

and I'd like to help
you if I can.

I do owe you one.

Okay, it's up to you, of course.

Wait.

Please, don't tell Dianne.

Please.

Give me a reason not to.

How much do you know about the
farm?

It's a self-sustaining co-op.

Why?

I was hoping we could talk about
you.

I'll get to all that I
promise.

You don't know anything else?

What are you hinting at?

It's just not as self-sustaining
as you might think.

So Dianne's having financial
problems.

Yes.

Big ones.

She charges a hefty fee and
that's three months straight.

I don't know.

Maybe she's using it to upgrade
this place

or on jewelry or drugs or who
knows what?

But she's in trouble.

How do you know this?

Because I saw a large
pile of overdue bills.

You were snooping in her
office?

No, no.

I was fixing a lock on her
cabinet,

and a large stack
of papers fell out

while I was making the
adjustment and I-

- Why are you telling me this?

I obviously can't tell anyone
else.

And another thing, why are
you pretending you don't speak.

Look, we can't talk here.

Okay?

I'll find you later this
afternoon after your chores.

Please just give me a chance.

I'll tell you everything I know.

Okay?

(door creaks)

So your mom is thriller
writer?

Yeah.

And your dad is an English
professor?

He was, yeah.

You must've done really
good in school then.

Especially English.

Sometimes.

He didn't really like Los
Angeles though.

He wanted to live in a
small town, small values.

My mom too.

She's an artist.

And good one.

But it got hard after
my dad, after he left.

You never told me she was an
artist.

Well, I guess that doesn't
matter here.

It's all work not art, right?

Then why aren't you two
working?

(tense music)

(birds chirping)

I can't believe this.

Don't bother arguing
it doesn't do any good.

Sam, wait there you'll
be in room number six,

Allie will be the number seven
today.

(door creaks)

Am I getting bread and water
too?

You're gonna stay here for a bit

while you think about your
selfishness.

Instead of picking food for
everyone,

you were busy fooling around
hanging out

with Sam on the dock.

That kind of focus on
only your own pleasure

isn't acceptable here, Allie.

There's always a list
of chores to complete.

I was just trying to have fun
for once.

I wanna talk to my mom.

This is solitary, Allie.

It's designed to give
you time alone to think.

No one can visit you here.

(door creaks)

(crow cawing)

(Jon knocks)

So talk.

I'm listening.

And not about Dianne
we'll get to her later.

Wanna talk about you.

My wife, Elizabeth, she didn't
die.

What?

I know that sounds bad,
but just let me finish.

She's my ex-wife and she
essentially kidnapped my daughter,

Melissa, and she brought her
here

it is almost three weeks ago.

Why didn't she go to the
police.

She still has full custody.

And I still don't have any real
proof.

Just suspicions.

Based on?

I found out where Elizabeth
might've taken Melissa

by hacking into her computer.

I'm not proud of it, but
I didn't have a choice.

(laughs)

Hacking into...

Who are you?

I'm an IT guy.

But I was always a handyman
before I got into computers.

So this is not a lie.

And the silent widower bit.

Okay, uh...

That was a lie.

I've never done anything like
this before.

I thought I might blurt out
something stupid if I spoke.

So I just, I handed Dianne and
note with my sad story on it.

I couldn't think of
another way to get in here.

And you haven't found them
yet?

No.

And I don't know why.

(gentle piano music)

Oh my God.

I didn't mean to startle you.

Well you did.

Holy crap, I think you
gave me a heart attack.

Sorry.

Sorry, I just wanted to make
sure that you were okay.

I mean it was so quiet and all...

Wait a minute, how did
you get in here anyway?

Lock picks remember.

Never go anywhere without them.

Thought you told me you
didn't do that anymore.

I may have stretched the truth
a little.

What are you doing anyways?

Did you know them?

I better get back to
my cell before Dianne

comes to get us.

(door creaking)

That's the problem with
being the silent widower

where I can't talk to
anyone to find out more.

You didn't really think
that one through, right?

No.

I was just so angry when I
discovered she took Melissa.

I wasn't thinking straight.

Maybe they were here,
but then they left.

My God, I don't think so.

And you think they have
something to do

with Dianne's financial issues?

Yes, I do.

At least, I hope so.

It's the only lead I've got.

So what now?

I was hoping you had an idea.

Kianna has my keys.

I guess I mean I
handed them over.

You have a car, right?

A truck, yeah.

Why?

You've had little luck so far,

So maybe...

so maybe we leave the farm...

But you can't leave, right?

Right.

Stay late.

Put a tarp in the front
seat of your truck,

I'll sneak out and I'll
meet you in the parking lot.

That was a fast plan.

It was the plot in one of my
books.

Okay.

So do you know where you wanna
go?

Yeah.

Someone who can give us some
answers.

(birds chirping)

You're here later
than usual, Jon.

Whatever you've got left can
wait until tomorrow, right?

(gentle music)

I think that's enough
introspection for one day.

Yes.

More than enough.

Good.

Then let's get you back to your
room.

Yeah.

(tense music)

And Sam?

I got her first, so
she's probably already

cleaning the rec room
with everyone by now.

- Hey.
-

Can you give me a
warning next time?

Sorry.

I just wanna get out and back

before they notice I'm not in my
room.

Here.

Keys and keycard.

How's that.

Nice.

(tense music)

(beeping)
(tense music)

Tell me again while we're here.

I ended up at the farm because
of a woman in this group.

It's the only connection I have

so it seems a good place to
start.

That's her.

Paige, it's been so long,

how are you?

I have been at the farm.

But you already knew that.

I'm really glad that worked
out for you.

Are?

I don't know why your acting so
strange,

but I've got to get back to my
son.

No, I want some answers.

What do you want?

I wanna know what Dianne
really been doing at the farm.

(tense music)

I don't know what you're
talking about.

She pays me.

All right.

That's it.

What do you mean?

Diane pays me to find women,

preferably ones with money.

Maybe a kid too.

Women who have lost their
husbands

are struggling in some way.

She needs the income for the
farm.

So I was a mark.

You fit the bill.

And it's not hurting anyone.

I mean, if anything it helps
them.

Yeah, you should be thanking me.

What about Elizabeth and
Melissa?

You know them.

Yes, of course.

I introduced them to Dianne.

And what happened, Willow.

Nothing.

You know, I heard they didn't
like it there so they left.

She's lying.

I can't say anymore, okay?

It's nothing personal.

Nothing personal.

Allie is still in there.

I wanna know what the hell is
going on.

Look, I can't say anymore.

Okay?

Please, okay? Please.

Look she'll kill me.

Melissa is my daughter.

(tense music)

She sells them sometimes.

Sells?

What are you talking about?

Black market.

It was only supposed to be
once.

Justine and her mom, they were
difficult.

There was no family to miss
them.

It was just supposed to be them.

And that was it.

But Dianne...

But Dianne needs some more
money.

Elizabeth and Melissa?

I don't know.

She doesn't tell me anything.

Okay.

I swear.

Okay, I don't know.

(mumbles)

Wait, wait.

Let her go.

We got what we wanted.

...

Your friend Willow handles
procurement.

Yes.

It seems that way.

God, this whole thing
sounds crazier every time

that I think about it.

Agreed.

You do realize that you and
your daughter

could be next on the list.

So could all the other women
at the farm?

No, I don't think so.

They're not as attractive
as you and your daughter,

so they're not as...

Valuable.

Yes.

, Jon you've
got to tell someone.

Who?

The FBI?

I don't know.

Is human trafficking under
the FBI's jurisdiction?

Oh, we don't have
any real proof.

Yet.

Yet

I think it's time that I
hacked into Dianne's computer.

He knows the key card swipes
are logged.

Maybe he forgot something.

No.

Something's not right.

Keep a close eye on him
tomorrow.

I wanna know every move makes.

You got it.

You were doing chores when I
got in

and I fell asleep right
after dinner

but I'm really sorry
for getting you

in trouble yesterday, Sam.

So don't sweat it. Justine
and I always got in trouble.

Her mom even ended up in
solitary.

Really?

Yeah.

For yelling at Dianne

about putting her daughter in
solitary.

Jeez.

I'm definitely not telling
my mom about it then.

Yeah, probably a good idea.

Yeah.

Allie?

Just forget about Melissa and
Elizabeth.

Okay?

I wish we could have done this
at night.

The door will be locked
and who knows what else.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm just nervous.

I'm excited.

I would have done this before

but I didn't have anybody
to be the lookout.

Just hurry, okay.

Unlike you see on TV hacking
into a computer is not easy.

Give me a minute.

Sorry.

I just don't know how much time
we have.

I'm in.

(tense music)

Looks like the foreign was deep
in the red for quite a while

until a very large lump sum was
deposited.

Don't jump to conclusions,
Jon.

That might've been for
Justine and her mom,

not Liz and Melissa.

Okay.

You're right.

But that's quite a deposit.

Yeah, look right afterwards a
chunks of it got transferred.

I bet that was for Kianna.

It's a good bet.

A day later there's another
much smaller transfer

probably to her friend, Willow.

Shush money.

Dianne went through the
rest pretty quickly too.

I still don't really
understand why do this

when Dianne can get chunks of
money,

life insurance, or otherwise
from people like me.

Looks like the farm was
heavily entailed

when Dianne got it.

Maybe she got tired of
the ongoing struggle

decided she needed a surefire
way to dig herself out.

She said she used her
husband's money

to fix up the place

Maybe she overspent and
then ran out of funds

to actually keep the place
going after renovations.

Maybe both.

But why trafficking?

That just seems like a crazy
solution.

Why not go to the bank and
get a loan or something else?

Possibly she tried.

Maybe there's not enough
equity left in the place

so they turned her down.

Yours till seems so insane.

Desperate people do
desperate things, Paige.

(gentle music)

Dianne is coming, hurry.

I'm going as fast as I can.

Damn it.

Running takes time I don't
have, I need to log out.

Dianne it came as a bit
of a surprise for me too.

Sorry, Jon and I were
hoping for some privacy.

Oh yeah.

No, no explanations needed.

I'm not your mother.

And besides, sometimes the best
way to heal is to share

your troubles with someone else.

You're right.

(door creaks)

I'm sorry for the...

I had an apparition to be
there without my tools or.

It's okay.

It worked so.

So.

Yeah.

Damn, I didn't print anything,

I didn't get our evidence.

We know it's there.

And we know a bit about
the trail of money now.

Yeah.

I'm just frustrated.

I hear you.

But we got in once maybe get
lucky

and have another opportunity.

Yeah.

Yeah.

(gentle piano music)

Thank you, for helping me.

He was on your computer.

How it is password protected.

I don't know, he was
definitely on it.

I was watching him as
instructed,

saw them through the window,

docked around the corner
so they couldn't see me.

Damn it.

There's something else.

Jon speaks now.

What?

I couldn't hear what they were
saying

but he and Paige were very
chatty.

What are you gonna do?

I gonna find out who we're
dealing with.

(Tessa and Paige laughing)

Okay, here we go.

Wow.

Tessa, you are really good at
that.

Years of practice.

I thought Sam was the expert.

You know, she's so good at
fishing,

but she just doesn't like
any of this gut stuff.

Hey Tessa, since you've
been here for so long

can I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure what do wanna know?

Do you ever remember a woman
being here

named Elizabeth or Liz,
with a daughter Melissa?

No, no, no.

I don't know anyone named that.

Are you sure?

For a minute there it seemed
like you did.

No, no.

You know, I thought for
a minute that I might.

Oh no.

Tessa, are you okay?

Yeah, it's just nick.

It happens all the time.

I just, I'm gonna go to the
office and get a bandage.

I'll come with you.

No.

I mean, no you go on I'll
catch up with you later.

If you're sure.

I'm sure.

Wow.

Tornado season.

Funny mom.

I wanted to apologize
for how I was back home.

I just, I felt like you were
always on me about something.

That's because I'm your
mother and I worry about you.

I know.

I'm just, I'm really happy we
came here.

That's something I wanted
to talk to you about.

Okay.

I think we should leave the
farm.

Leave why?

I feel we'd be okay on our own
now.

And it's really expensive.

You never worried about money
before,

and I thought you paid an
advance.

Yeah.

So what is it?

I'm not a kid anymore.

Just tell me.

Does it have something to do
with Elizabeth and Melissa?

Where did you hear those
names?

Does it?

It does.

I want us to get out of
here before it all gets.

Okay.

Okay?

You wouldn't say something
unless it was important.

So just tell me when and I'll be
ready.

17 not seven, huh?

Yeah.

I love you, you know.

Let you know when I can
get us out of here, okay.

Mom.

Yes.

I love you too.

So he has a sister.

Paige just asked me
about Liz and Melissa,

I don't know what to say.

What do I say?

, Tessa stop panicking.

Just take a breath.

And sit the hell down you're
bleeding.

I want you to think carefully.

What exactly did you say to her?

Nothing.

I said I wouldn't and I
didn't.

Then we have nothing to worry
about.

I guess.

I don't know.

I don't know why she asking?

What does she know?

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, we're gonna
be in so much trouble.

Goddammit Tessa, chill the
hell out.

Okay.

If you don't hold it together

so helping you and Sam are off
the farm.

No you said that if I kept
quiet...

Then do it, keep your mouth
shut.

Just everyone calmed
down and let me think.

Okay, I want you to go find
Paige,

be her friend.

You know nothing.

So nothing is wrong, right?

(tense music)

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

We can still stay right?

For now.

But.

Go Tessa.

Okay.

(tense music)

That one is becoming a
liability.

Agreed.

And if word gets out the
farm gonna shut down.

Is Aman ready?

Yes.

But with Willow, suddenly MIA,

I thought we were going to hold
off a bit.

No screw, Willow.

We've got people sticking their
noses

where they don't belong.

We can't afford to waste any
time.

Tessa and Sam I've been here
longer

it's only fair that
they have extra chores.

I know.

It's just annoying.

Agreed.

You know what, why don't
you go on, I've got this.

Thanks mom.

Oh no, I'm sorry it all my
fault.

(gentle piano music)

To hell with it.

(door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

What the?

(suspenseful music)

It's okay, I'm not gonna be
a pack mule for much longer.

(suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(suspenseful music)

(tense music)

Who are you?

What do you want?

Who cares?

Please help us.

Elizabeth and Melissa?

Yes.

Do we know you?

No, I'm Paige.

Thank God you're still here.

We can't go anywhere.

Sit tight.

I think I know a way to get you
guys free.

Then hurry please.

And be careful.

Kianna brings us food
super early in the morning

before anyone wakes up
and then comes back again

before mid-breakfast to
take us for a bathroom break.

So she'll be back soon.

Got it.

I'll be careful.

Trust me.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

(tense music)

I found them.

Elizabeth and Melissa I found
them.

They're okay.

What?

Or how, what?

I'll explain everything
on the way I promise.

Right now we need bolt cutters.

Bolt cutters.

Yeah, yeah, I have some in shed
but...

Let's go.

Quickly.

We have a small window of
opportunity.

(birds chirping)

(Jon breathing heavily)

I can't believe Kianna knew

where they were this whole time.

So focused on Dianne.

Me too.

Don't beat yourself up about
it.

Let's just get them out of
there.

(door creaking)

I told you I'd bring help.

Greyson

Greyson?

No this is Jon.

Why?

Why would you bring him here?

What do you mean?

He's your father?

Isn't he?

We came to the farm
to get away from him.

I don't understand.

He's an abuser.

You just brought him right to
us.

More lies, Elizabeth.

Don't listen to her, Paige.

You've never seen me be
abusive or even angry, really?

Have you?

No, not really, but.

Stay away from us.

Why would you let your mom
turn you against me, Melissa?

I love you so much.

Well you don't know how to
love.

This is crazy, Paige.

You got to believe me.

I can help us all out.

I can get Liz and Melissa,

and even you and Allie outta
here.

You just, you got to trust me.

Don't do it, Paige.

Why didn't you tell me
your real name, Greyson?

(tense music)

Paige.

No, no, no, no.

Leave her alone.

Greyson.

[Melissa] No.

Do you want the same
thing happen to your mother.

Give me your hands.

Please, please.

Greyson, let her go.

Let her go, stop it.

What are you doing?

Greyson,
[Melissa] No, no, no.

[Elizabeth] Stop it.

Stop struggling.

[Elizabeth] Please, please.

Melissa, Melissa.

Dianne can have you
two for the black market

for all I care.

She doing me a favor.

No, no.

Paige.

Paige

Paige, please wake up.

Please wake up.

Paige

Paige!

(rooster crows)

She's narcoleptic, I swear.

(phone ringing)

Aman, where the hell are you?

Yeah, I know there
isn't self service here.

I'm glad that Justine and
her mother worked out,

I think I find the same
with Liz and Melissa.

I see you wired the funds.

Excellent.

Did you hear that?

Nevermind.

Just hurry the hell up, okay.

I'm gonna need the services
of your friend, Milo.

Yeah, I'm gonna give you
a file when I see you.

No, I don't need to know how
I just-

I just need them to disappear

(tense music)

Hold this to your head,
you're bleeding quite a bit.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Greyson is very good
at playing the chameleon.

That's how I ended up married to
him.

Damn it.

I should thought I was so busy

focusing on freeing you two,

I never thought to ask how
you and Melissa got here.

We saw something we shouldn't.

Melissa couldn't sleep.

She has insomnia, which
gives her migraines.

She came to building two and
woke me up,

on our way back to her room.

We saw them dragging
Justine and her mother away.

Who was dragging them?

I don't know.

Two guys in all black with
hoods.

We followed them into a van.

The women were limp.

Drugged, I think.

Drugged?

Oh...

We stupidly we thought
we could help them.

We only ended up getting
ourselves caught.

We were taking a solitary for
awhile.

Solitary?

Long story.

And we were removed.

We've been here ever since.

(suspenseful music)

Wait a minute.

Let's get you out of here.

Just hurry the hell up.

(item creaks)

(tense music)

Sam, wake up, wake up.

Is it 8 a.m. already?

Allie what's the matter?

I need your help.

Stay here.
I'll bring them up.

I have a little something
to say to these two.

(tense music)

So Liz-

What is this?

(tense music)

They got away.

Obviously.

What happened?

I came to give them their
bathroom break

and I got ambushed.

By two chained up women?

One who's a young girl.

No, Melissa was gone.

It was Elizabeth and Paige.

Paige?

(both breathing deeply)

Sorry.

I'm weak.

They didn't feed us much.

It's okay.

You have to get to the cops.

I've done that before.

Trust me.

They can't stop him.

No one can.

Then call the number I
gave you for Dylan Norris.

He's my therapist.

He and his wife, Donna,
are really good friends.

They'll do everything
they can to help you.

I know they will.

How are you gonna catch up
with Greyson?

He had such a headstart.

I think we're going to be
faster

since he's carrying Melissa.

If he's gonna the run,
he's gonna need supplies.

I think I know where he'll go.

(suspenseful music)

Don't worry, sweetie.

I can get you out of here.

Soon it's gonna be just you and
me.

And we are gonna be on the road-

- That was impressive.

I'm gonna check on Melissa.

Liz, in case you need this.

(suspenseful music)

Melissa, Melissa.

Honey, Honey.

Melissa!

(whispers) Melissa

Mom.

Your safe now sweetheart.

What are you doing here?

Here.

Does he still have the white
truck.

Yes.

Check the lot.

You'll need this for the front
gate.

Aren't you coming?

My daughter's still
here, I can't leave her.

Thank you.

Go!

Don't stop for anyone.

(tense music)

Stop, stop.

You ruined everything.

Greyson.

You took my daughter from me.

No, you did that yourself.

Goddamn you.

(tense music)

He was trying to kill you...

I didn't know-

didn't know what to do.

You did great, Tessa.

You saved my life.

I couldn't sleep.

You weren't in your room.

So I was afraid.

It's so early so I thought

maybe you wanted to get
something to eat

so I came to the kitchen
to find you and I saw this.

Tessa, I need you to
calm down and listen to me.

We need to get the girls.

Okay.

But first I have to tell you
something.

I already know.

Can you help me?

I know we're Kianna
keeps the keys to our cars.

Perfect.

But I have to wash my hands.

Go ahead.

I'll get the girls.

I'll meet you in the
parking lot in half an hour.

Okay?

(suspenseful music)

Come on, come on, open.

My goodness.

Come on, hurry up.

I'm trying the locks and
solitary

were easier than this one.

Come on, come on.

I got it.

(door creaks)

You rock.

Oh Thanks.

Allie, wait...

I had no idea about
Justine and her mom.

I thought they just took off.

It was so screwed up.

But I did know about
Melissa and Elizabeth.

You knew.

I saw them being taken from
solitary

and not back to their rooms.

And I mean my mom said
that if I said anything

that they'd make us leave the
farm

and that my dad might find it
and I just...

It's okay.

It's okay.

They're gonna be okay.

We're gonna get them help now.

I promise you.

(gentle piano music)

(phone ringing)

(recording)
You have dialed 911

a dispatcher is coming on the
line

to assess your emergency
and connect you with

first responders

Hang up the phone Allie right
now.

Lucky I came back from my
file.

(tense music)

Look Aman, I promised you two
packages and here they are.

(tense music)

Just have to wash my...

(sobbing)

Oh, hey...

(panicked mumbling)

Screw this ..., I'm out of
here.

(breathing heavily)

(tense music)

What the hell did you do to
them?

Seriously, Aman?

You didn't notice someone
falling down here you idiot.

(tense music)

Let them go, Dianne.

Paige, you really
shouldn't have involved

yourself in things you know
nothing about.

You left me no choice.

Let them go on now.

[Dianne] Go, go.

(van engine roars)
(tense music)

No one hurts my daughter.

(tense music)

No, Allie.

(van engine roars)

(tense music)

(megaphone) This is the FBI.

FBI show me your hands.

Show us your hands.

Stop now.

Put your hands out of the
window.

Allie...

Show us your hands.

Put your hands out the window.

(megaphone) Do not proceed any
further.

We've tracked the son
of a bitch for six months.

(siren wailing)

(birds chirping)
(dog barking)

- Just a bit.
- Okay

(Sam and Allie laughing)

Food's almost ready, girls!

(door bell rings)

(both) I'll get it!

No, I'm gonna get it.

No!

Your supposed to be doing
your homework.

Oh, Paige had no idea you
were making such a spread.

You know, I live here,
you can put me to work.

No need, it's almost done.

All right, well then
I'm doing the dishes.

No argument with that.

You gotta deal.

I hate doing dishes.

(laughs)

What the heck is this mom?

Whatever it is, it's heavy.

Oh, hang on.

Let me-

- I got it, mom.

(gentle piano music)

ARCs of my latest thriller.

Advanced reader copies.

Lots of them.

Congratulations, Paige.

What are you waiting for mom?

Let's see it.

(chuckles)

(gentle piano music)

Wow, there it is.

I guess you were a little bit
inspired.

You could say that.

(all laughing)

(gentle piano music)
