Original subtitles

Hey, it's me.

I've already been out of touch.

Things have been kind of crazy.

But it's about to get better.

Now call me back. I want to hear how Paris has been.

Thank you.

Someone's at her house.

Female. About 30 years old.

I'll send you the footage.

Find out who the girl is.

Hey there.

You're looking for Eliza?

I... Yeah. Have you seen her lately?

No, I haven't, dear.

Eliza keeps to herself mostly.

Are you a friend?

Family. I'm her stepsister.

I've been trying to reach her for two weeks now.

Huh. Come to think of it, that's probably the last time I saw her car in

driveway.

Oh, well, her baby is supposed to be due by now.

And you haven't heard from her?

You think she's okay?

I don't. No, to be honest.

If you need anything, I am right across the street.

And I brought up her mail. The mailbox was full.

Thanks. You take care now.

I'm happy to see someone's making you smile.

I met someone.

Okay, and tell me about him. He's everything I've ever wanted.

And it's also complicated.

Okay, well, does this Mr.

Complicated have a name?

I'm not ready to make anything public yet.

It's really new, only a couple months.

So I gave him a nickname.

Blue.

Blue.

Why? Why the nickname Blue?

Well, it's kind of private.

Okay.

Got it. No more questions.

Well, cheers to someone who makes you smile.

When was the last time you heard from Eliza?

About two weeks ago, she left me this message.

Hey, it's me.

Sorry I've been out of touch.

Things have been kind of crazy, but it's about to get better.

Call me back. I want to hear how Paris has been.

I noticed she has a security camera.

Maybe that picked up something.

We'll be sure to go through the footage.

And you're her stepsister?

Yeah. We're not related by blood, but it always felt like we were.

My father married her mother.

Why wait two weeks to report Eliza missing?

I mean, it wasn't unusual for her to not call me back. I've been in Paris and

just flew in.

We weren't as close as we used to be.

What about the father of her child?

She always referred to him by a nickname.

Blue.

She was always vague about him.

Eliza, what's wrong?

I didn't know who to call.

I'm... I'm pregnant.

By who?

The guy you were texting when he visited me?

Yeah.

Blue.

Can you just tell me his real name, okay?

It's supposed to be the father of your child.

You know, it's...

Hey, Jared, it's Gabby.

It's been a while.

Hey, look, I'm at Eliza's house and she's not here. I was hoping maybe

heard from her.

Can you just give me a call back when you get this, please?

I'm going to a meeting with Aiden. I like that.

Be back soon. Okay.

Is that what you were saying?

Eliza.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah. It's just, um...

Pregnancy hormone.

You know, everything makes me cry these days.

You sure?

Look, if you need to talk, I'm here.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's just one of those days.

I'll be fine.

Hi. Can I help you?

I'd like to see Miss Carrington, please.

Do you have an appointment with her?

No, I don't, but it's important.

It's about Eliza.

Eliza Scaplin?

Eliza, yeah, she's on maternity leave.

So I can't call you Katie, not even when it's just the two of us. Not even then.

In that case, I guess I'll address.

Ms. Carrington.

Hi.

Hi, sorry, I'm Gabby, Eliza's stepsister.

What's this all about?

Well, I've been trying to reach Eliza, but she's not answering her phone or at

her house. I was hoping maybe you've heard from her.

See, I told you.

I had a feeling something wasn't right.

I've talked to the police.

Have you noticed anything strange with Eliza lately?

Well... Look, Kate, we really got to get to this meeting.

Look, I'm sorry. We really do have to go, but I'm free after six if you want

talk then.

I appreciate it, Miss Carrington.

Oh, please. Call me Kate. And here, take my card.

We can meet over at Halbrood. It's not far from here.

Sounds good.

And I spoke with the detective. They're searching Eliza's office tomorrow.

And her house, too.

Did Eliza ever mention anything to you about the baby's father?

She said it was just a casual fling with someone she met in Europe. The guy

wasn't a part of her life.

Casual fling?

She said it was an on -and -off -again relationship.

She referred to him by a nickname, Blue.

Blue?

I've never heard her mention that before.

But she also didn't speak too much about her personal life at work.

You know, and that's not true about the fling in Europe either. She came to

visit me in Paris. There was no fling.

Okay, that's strange because Eliza never even mentioned she had siblings or that

she was visiting Europe to see you.

She said she was on a solo backpacking trip for two weeks.

Two weeks?

I'm so happy you're in Paris.

I can't wait to show you all the things.

Are you sure you can only stay for one week?

I know.

I've got to get back to work.

Projects don't manage themselves.

She only came to see me in Paris for one week.

Where is she the other week?

I'm so sorry I have to cut this short tonight. I'm meeting my husband and a

client for drinks.

Please keep me posted if you hear from Eliza. I will. And thank you for

everything.

Have a good night.

You too.

Got to be something.

Jared? What the hell are you doing?

You called me earlier.

What are you doing with a knife?

I heard someone in here.

You could have just called me back. You didn't have to break into Eliza's house.

No, I didn't break in. I still have a key.

Look, after I got your message, I tried calling Eliza over and over again.

I got worried, so I came over.

To look for a clue as to where she went.

Look, you're going to need to give me that key back.

So, you still haven't heard anything from her? No.

I didn't even know you guys were talking again.

I mean, I know Eliza was pretty pissed about that whole loan thing.

But I told her that she should sit down and you guys should talk about it.

Yeah, I mean, we both overreacted.

She actually called me when you two split up. Said that the time apart was

enough time so she could reflect on things.

You mean after she broke up with me out of nowhere?

What?

She gets that fancy job and all of a sudden she's too good for me?

Next thing I know, she's pregnant with somebody else's baby.

And they had to have been together while we were still dating.

Jared.

You don't know that.

Don't you think the timing's a little strange? Don't you think?

Look, when was the last time you saw Elisa?

I don't know, like a month or two ago.

Did she ask to see you?

No.

I just ran into her at the grocery store.

That's how I found out she was pregnant.

Do you know the guy she was seeing?

No.

You sure about that?

Yes, Gabby.

Just let me help.

Despite everything that happened between me and Eliza, I still love her.

And you called me, so you must want my help too.

It's a detective.

Hello? Ms. Richards, it's Detective Jennings. Leave.

Located Eliza.

You found her?

Where is she? I'm sorry to have to deliver news like this over the phone,

jogger discovered her body in a wooded area outside of Atlanta.

And unfortunately, that's not all.

Her baby is missing.

It's just unimaginable.

She's gone.

And they still have no leads on her baby.

Kate. Kate, I am so sorry.

It's so hard to believe.

Hey, Gabby.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Something isn't right, okay? There's... There's got to be something that we're

missing. I don't know. There's... Hey, Gabby.

You just lost your sister.

You just need to take some time to process all this.

Time?

I don't have time. Her body was dumped in the woods, and her baby is nowhere to

be found.

There was a note on my car, okay? Somebody clearly knows I'm here, and

me gone.

Do you not get that?

Look, I just don't understand.

Gabby, Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. Hey.

Hey.

I do get it.

Okay?

It's her baby.

You can't keep doing this.

You can't keep running yourself into the ground like this.

I can't just sit around.

I have to find her baby.

I know. I know. I know.

Okay. No more mushy stuff.

Do you have any more of those macaroons from earlier?

They're in the kitchen.

Amazing.

What are you doing?

Sorry. Your phone was just blowing up.

So, you just looked at it?

I didn't mean to intrude.

Debbie.

How are you holding up?

I thought I could keep it together, but today it just came crashing down on me.

I've got to be strong for a lie as I enter, baby.

Gabby, I'm actually looking for a new personal assistant.

Might be a great way for you to make some money while you're here.

Could take your mind off things, help you out.

Think you want me to work for you?

That's right.

Uh, yeah.

Sure, that sounds great.

Why don't you come by the office on Monday, if you're feeling up to it.

Perfect.

Okay.

I went to the police.

Have you noticed anything strange with Eliza lately?

Well... Kate, we really got to get to this meeting.

I didn't know they were married.

You came to me for help, remember?

You're lucky I helped you at all.

I delivered on my end. And yet, here we are.

Have a great day.

You've checked every hospital, even outside of Atlanta?

Yes. Well, there must be record of the birth. And what about the note on my

windshield? We've scoured the entire area and we have forensics on the note.

I know this is difficult.

We'll be in touch the moment we know anything.

So you gave him a new assistant?

Uh, yeah.

Oh, excuse me. Sick.

Who is this guy? A politician?

No, he's not.

Please, I really don't want to talk about him right now.

He's not exactly thrilled about this.

Well, he's a jerk then.

I was so sure he was going to be happy about it.

All he kept saying was that he wanted a family.

I gave him that and now he's mad.

Sorry about that.

So you accepted the job?

I did.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks.

Now my calendar can be a bit of a mess, along with my inbox, but you can always

ask Amy at the front desk to help you coordinate.

I do have a few projects coming up that I'm going to need some help with.

investor presentations, travel arrangements for conferences, and our

employee retreat.

Hey, I'm Marina.

We met briefly at Eliza's service.

Yeah, I remember.

How are you settling in here?

Getting the hang of it, I think.

I'd be happy to show you around, answer any questions you might have.

Morning.

Yeah, tomorrow works.

Go ahead and discuss it.

What does he do here again?

Aiden's our head of operations.

He's always juggling a million things.

It's a little intense, but he's not so bad once you get to know him.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe we could grab lunch today?

I'd like that.

So you've been with the company that long?

That's crazy.

So what exactly did Eliza do for the company?

She was a project manager.

She always had a lot on her plate.

That makes sense. You said she never had any free time.

Did she work closely with anyone in particular?

Usually with Aiden, but Eliza mostly kept to herself.

It seemed like she was going through some personal stuff.

Like what?

I'm not sure. Maybe it was related to the pregnancy.

But even before that, he just seemed a little on edge and sad.

Did you talk to her about it?

No.

Eliza wasn't really the type to open up easily.

At least, not at work.

I did try, but he'd just brush it off.

But you could tell something was weighing on her.

It takes two people to make a baby. He has a responsibility here.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

I love him.

He said he loved me.

Hey, Aiden?

You got a minute?

Sure. What can I help you with?

Um, Kate asked me to go through the project files to get up to speed, and

there's one that the notes are a bit vague, it listed you as the owner of

Project Radiance.

And what do you mean by vague?

Well, the project wrap -up is missing. There's no final notes or conclusions.

Yeah, that's strange.

Look, I don't mean to overstep, but I did notice that the date on the project

was right before Liza's maternity leave.

Is that unusual for her to miss something like this?

Yeah, it's very unusual.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to figure this file out.

Sure.

And thank you.

I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Have a good night.

You too, Gabby.

Gabby!

Gabby, I texted you like a million times. Why are you ignoring me? Look, I

want to be alone right now, okay?

Yeah, classic Gabby, always pushing people away.

And what the hell does that mean?

Why else do you think you and Eliza haven't talked for so many years?

Because she was the one. No, it's because you don't want to communicate.

It's a two -way street.

Yeah, Eliza kept her distance, but I didn't see you trying to make an effort

either. Okay, look, you don't know what you're talking about.

Gabby, you're right. You're right. I'm sorry.

I... I just want to help.

It's fine, okay? I am just... I'm exhausted. I just want to get the mail

inside, okay? Can we just...

Talk tomorrow, please.

Yeah. Can you just tell me, what have you been up to?

Like, what's keeping you so busy?

Look, I... I took a job at Eliza's work.

Look, just to look into things.

Gabby, that's crazy.

Why? Okay, look, the police aren't finding anything, and I think this Aiden

is up to something.

Let the police do the investigation.

You don't get it.

If this Aiden guy is involved, and he finds out that you're looking around he

could come after you next oh dude just sit around

Gabby. Gabby, do you have someone you can call? A friend or family member you

can be with right now?

No, not really.

It's the same to me.

The car was coming right at me.

What happened here was not your fault.

You're not to blame.

And we're going to find who did this.

Hey,

what was the name of that private investigator we used last year?

Why do you need a PI?

To help Gabby. To hopefully help find Eliza's baby.

Kate, you really should let the police handle this.

Bringing in a PI could mess up their investigation.

Well, it seems like the police are dragging their feet, and a baby is

for God's sake.

I'll see if I can dig up his number.

You'll see, Aiden?

Seriously?

You know what? I have to go.

What's wrong, honey?

I want to hire a private investigator to help look into things, and Aiden is

acting like it's the worst idea ever.

My work buddy used that one before, and different issue, but apparently the guy

has experienced a lot of areas.

I could reach out to him tomorrow if you're interested.

Yes, that would be great. Thank you, honey.

Excuse me, sir. Have you seen this girl?

Sorry, I can't say that I have.

How long have you worked here?

Four years.

And you don't recognize her? Her name's Eliza Scablin.

Positive. Sorry.

Excuse me, sir?

Do you know this girl? No.

Why did you run away from me?

It's my break. I came out to smoke.

Why are you lying to me?

Look, please, I just need your help, okay? This girl is my sister.

This is Eliza.

She was killed.

Wait, what?

Yeah, someone killed her and then stole her baby.

I can't get mixed up in stuff like that.

Look, I'm not suggesting that you do. I just... I need to know if you saw her at

the bar and who she was with.

Yeah, I did see her.

That was, like, a year ago.

Okay, well, anything specific you remember?

Yeah. You sure I can't get you a drink while you wait?

Oh, you definitely need a drink.

I know just the thing.

I served her a few shots, and around closing time, I noticed that she was

there. Hey, can I call a car to come get you?

No, I... Whoa.

Whoa, take it easy there.

I love him.

And... I'm here.

Alone.

Hey.

I'll get you home safe.

This guy that stood you up tonight, he's an idiot.

I agree.

But unfortunately, I fell in love with him.

You know, you should be with someone who treats you right.

He does treat me right.

It's complicated with work and everything.

So you work with him?

Something like that.

Did she tell you his name?

No, I... She might have said it. I don't remember.

But he did show up at her place that night.

I managed to dig up a couple aspirin in the kitchen.

Oh, my God.

Sam.

You got to go.

He can't see you here.

Hurry. Leave out the back door.

Did you see what he looked like I escaped out the back door before I could

him Okay, I'm sorry whenever you came in earlier asking about her I panicked I

Try my best to stay out of trouble

Can I ask you something?

Sure, what's up?

What's the company dating policy here?

Why, do you like someone?

Oh, no, not me. I just know that Kate and Aiden used to be married, so I was

just curious if that's a common thing or not.

Um, no, but Kate and Aiden were married before they built the company.

They also don't have a policy against it.

Let's just say...

I don't think Aiden has an issue with dating anyone here.

What do you mean by that?

Why don't we meet up for drinks later, and we can talk more about it then,

Sounds good.

Intensive care visitor desk.

Hey, yes, I was checking on Jared Lange.

Yes, he's still in critical condition.

Oh, I see.

So there's no change in his current condition?

No, there hasn't been in the last 12 hours.

Okay. Thank you for the information.

Kate, I think you're too vested and you need to step back.

Jake's hiring the PI.

Kate, it's not that I don't want to help.

Interfering with a police investigation could backfire.

Let's just drop it, okay?

Look, I'm doing what I need to do.

Okay, fine.

Fine by me.

How's the presentation coming along?

A little behind.

Need to work late to catch up. Look, I can stay tonight, but I have that client

dinner tomorrow.

This is a multi -million dollar account I can't cancel.

Yeah, nothing's changed, right?

I don't mean to interrupt, but I couldn't help over here. You guys need

help tomorrow night?

Well, I'm happy to...

stay and pitch in.

That's very kind of you, Gabby, but that's actually beyond the scope of your

role here.

Oh, no, look, I don't mind, honestly.

Okay.

Great. If you're willing, we can use the extra hand.

Thank you, Gabby.

Of course.

Just let me know what I need to do.

Okay.

What?

At the Christmas party, no less. Like, no one was getting noticed at the

receptionist in the mailroom. I just appeared in the background.

Oh, my God.

You were going to tell me something about Aiden. Oh, right.

Yeah, I really shouldn't gossip.

Come on, you just told me the whole Christmas party tale.

Good point.

This is a bit more sensitive.

Why? It's about Eliza.

You have to tell me. I think Aiden had a thing for Eliza.

What do you mean?

He just paid a lot of special attention to her, a lot of late nights, if you

know what I mean.

So, you think Aiden and Eliza were sleeping with each other?

No, I don't know if anything actually happened.

I'll just say that Eliza was his favorite, which is interesting for a guy

doesn't play favorites.

And what about when she got pregnant?

She seemed to be struggling during that time.

And Aiden let a lot of things slip.

She just made mistakes no one else who found too well could go away with that.

I probably shouldn't have said any of that. Wine always gets me in trouble.

Take it away. It's fine.

Look, I'm glad you did.

Hey, look.

Hey, do you know why Kate and Aiden split up?

It was messy.

What happened?

You did not hear this from me. Are you ready for this?

Aiden had a gambling addiction.

Really? Yes.

He's recovered now, though.

But it did break them apart.

Nearly tanked the business, too.

Huh. I hope it's okay, but my husband called in a favor to a PI colleague he

used before, just to check into things.

He'll be discreet and stay out of the police's way, but maybe he can get some

leads that they can't.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

God.

Every day that passes, that poor baby's still out there.

I know.

You still need help planning the company retreats? Yes, I could really use your

assistance with planning, but I also don't want to put too much on your

No, you're not.

Should I look up places to host it?

That's not necessary. We actually own a vacation property in the mountains.

You and your husband?

No, Aiden and I do. We bought it years ago when we were still married. Now we

just use it as a real estate investment and a place to host the retreats.

I see.

Here is some information.

To get you started.

I think it's a good time, you know? Might be a way to boost morale up around

here after everything.

Of course.

Yeah. Oh, and thank you for staying late tonight to help Aiden with the

presentation.

No problem.

Lou. Eliza, calm down. Just tell me what's going on.

No, he canceled on me.

We were supposed to have this romantic weekend at his house in the Blue Ridge

Mountains just the two of us.

He promised.

You've got to give up on this guy, okay? It's just one excuse after another.

I can't just give up.

I'm having his baby, Gabby.

I love him.

Well, have you even told him you're pregnant?

No.

But I'm not showing it. I have time.

Eliza, you have to tell him you're pregnant.

You don't understand, Gabby.

Gabby?

Oh, hey, Jake.

I would ask if you're okay, but the answer seems obvious with everything

on.

What brings you into the office?

I came by to take Kate to lunch.

Kate told me you found a private investigator.

Yeah, someone my company used before.

This guy Bill.

Retired cop.

Loads of experience.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

Well, you know my style.

Oh, back to the yellow.

You wore that because you know it's my favorite color.

I know.

I mean, you know.

Oh, hey, honey.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Man, Eliza really had her hands full with these presentations.

Yeah, well, a good project manager is hard to find.

I mean, she handled everything so smoothly.

Always knew how to see the big picture.

Yeah. She always said how hard it was to communicate on projects this big to get

everyone on the same page.

Yeah, it's the nature of the business. We all have our challenges around here.

Like what?

If you don't mind me asking.

You know, just the usual office dynamics, deadlines.

Anyway, I have a plan this evening. I need to get going.

What are you up to?

Sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

You going to be okay closing up here by yourself tonight?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Okay.

Hello?

Excuse me.

Marina?

Oh, I didn't know you were going to be working this late.

I came back. I forgot something in my office.

Is something wrong?

Oh, my God. Last night I should have told you.

Told me what?

It's about Eliza.

What about Eliza? I just wish the last time I saw her I hadn't done what I did.

I tried to sabotage Eliza. I made it look like she made this huge mistake,

deleted the entire project conclusion she put together.

Project Radiance?

I saw it.

Why did you do it?

I thought she was going to take my job because Aiden, he favored her, like I

said, and I panicked.

Oh, my God, I feel so awful about this. I've been carrying around this guilt

ever since.

I came back today. Aiden found out. I didn't realize in the project software

that you could go back to old versions and see who made changes.

It's fine.

It's fine, okay?

You must hate me.

Were Eliza and Aiden really that close?

She's different with her.

But you don't think there was anything more than that?

I'm really not sure.

There was only one time I saw Eliza in the wild.

In the wild? What do you mean?

She was at this bar, Blue Something, in Blue Slate Bar.

Yeah, that's it.

I was there with a friend, and I saw her flirting with a bartender.

Whoever it was, he left with her.

I overheard one of the waiters teasing that that was his new girlfriend.

I'm not mad at you.

Hey, thank you for telling me.

I gotta go.

Blue Sleeve Bar, can I help you? Yes, I'm trying to reach Marcus. Is he

tonight?

Marcus? He doesn't work here anymore.

Oh. Yeah, sorry, I can't help you.

Okay, thanks.

Gabby?

What are you doing here?

I found your address online.

You're going to start telling me the truth. Right now.

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

You were dating Eliza. Why didn't you tell me?

Let's talk inside.

I just... I said inside.

Mark it.

Why did you lie to me? You said you only saw Liza that one night, but you kept

seeing her, didn't you? I saw her one other time.

She came to the bar to thank me for taking care of her. That's it. We got

beers.

She mainly kept talking about a guy that she was seeing.

And he seemed like trouble that I didn't want to be involved in.

He was so crazy, he installed some security cameras in her home.

Wait, what?

This guy has access to security cameras in her house?

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Because I don't know you.

Eliza never told me that she had any siblings.

For all I know, you could be working for that guy. I feel like this is insane.

Look, what else are you not telling me?

She said that he kept promising that they would be together.

But there was some complication, something about another relationship.

Wait, another relationship?

So, back to the yellow.

With who, Kate?

She didn't say a name, but maybe.

They had to keep the relationship secret for some reason. He wanted to run away

with her, but he was having financial problems.

What kind of financial problems?

I don't know.

Maybe something with the business, maybe gambling.

She didn't really say.

Aiden had a gambling addiction.

Wait.

So you're telling me that she was seeing this guy in secret who had financial

issues?

Was she pregnant when you met her?

No.

I called the bar where you work today and they said that you quit.

Why?

Look, I want to stay out of trouble.

Okay, and the owners, they got involved in some stuff.

What do you mean, stuff?

Let's just say they don't make all of their money selling drinks.

Okay, I've made some mistakes in the past, and I cannot afford another run

with the law, but they are mixed up with some shady people who do not make their

money in an honest way.

What, like drugs?

Worse.

Remember a year ago, whenever there was news stories about babies being stolen

in Atlanta?

No, I was in Paris.

Well, there was a group of people, and they were kidnapping babies.

And then they were selling them to rich couples who thought it was a legit

adoption.

Okay, so you're saying that the owners of the bar was stealing babies?

I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying that I've heard enough rumors.

That they're involved with some people who might be.

You think that's what happened to Eliza?

I don't know.

But you need to check out the Crestview Adoption Center.

And do not get the cops involved.

These people, they move fast and you will not see them coming.

Look, I should go.

Let me walk you to your car.

I'll be fine.

Thanks. Hey!

Get away from her!

I've been here too.

No. Stay here. No.

You okay?

Yeah. Are you sure? I'm worried about you.

No, I'm fine.

Thank you.

Hello? Hello?

Is anybody here?

Sorry. Have you been waiting long out here?

No, I haven't.

Do you have an appointment?

I don't. I was just hoping to get some information about adoption.

I got your name from a friend.

What's the friend's name?

Jenna.

Jenna Harris.

Have you adopted a child before or applied to?

I haven't. It's my first time. Well, here's a brochure to

get you started.

Thanks.

Can I get an application too? I recommend familiarizing yourself with

process first.

It can be quite expensive.

I understand. I just want an application so I can get the process going. You can

download one from our website.

Have a nice day.

Hey.

Hey, it's Gabby.

He said to call if I needed something.

Hey.

What's your plan?

Okay, look. If they're stealing and selling babies, then they're selling the

babies to the people in those files.

I have to get into those files to see what's really going on.

Okay.

I'll take care of the lock.

You keep watch.

Okay.

There are others breathing down our neck.

Too many people poking around.

Now, Abigail, you don't know the fastest thing that a dolphin can do.

Who was that guy?

I don't know, but whoever it was had an issue with someone named Abigail.

Yeah, that's the lady I met earlier today. The owner.

Okay, let's get out of here.

Well, I appreciate your time. I'm glad everything's going well.

What did you say?

I pretended I was from the agency. I was doing a routine check -in to see how

things were going.

Maybe they're not doing anything criminal after all.

Maybe.

But the best way to run a criminal enterprise is to look like you're not a

criminal.

Yeah, you're right.

Abigail.

I've got a new plan.

What is it?

The guy from last night was upset and asked Abigail to move fast on something

that would blow up in their face.

I'm going to follow her after work today.

That's dangerous, Gabby.

Well, you said not to go to the cops if they would make things worse. This is

what I have to do.

All right, then I'm coming with you.

When do they close?

Four o 'clock.

Hey, can you ask the PI to look into Crespi Adoptions?

Sure. Let me send this info over to Jake. He's been speaking with the guy.

Do you think this place might be involved?

I don't know, but it's worth checking out.

And how did you come across them?

I'm just looking at all the agencies in the area.

That's a smart idea.

Do you still need help planning the retreat?

Honestly, Gabby, if you need to lay low for a little while with everything else

you have going on, this retreat does not need to be your priority.

No. No, no, no. I take my job very seriously.

I mean, obviously, figuring out what happened to Eliza and where her baby is

my first priority, but the job's been a nice distraction.

Oh, good. Well, then, if the retreat planning is helping to keep your mind

of things, then we'll tackle it together.

Great.

When do you want me to start setting up?

Tomorrow evening would be great. I'll be there, and I also convinced my husband

to help.

And Aiden, too? No, he actually won't be able to join until the weekend.

Okay.

Perfect. All right.

I did some more research on Abigail and the agency, and I couldn't find anything

suspicious.

It's possible that...

She doesn't know what's really going on.

How? She's the owner.

The public -facing owner.

The real players are going to be silent partners.

Like that guy from last night.

He could be one of them.

I don't know. I find it hard to believe that Abigail wouldn't know anything.

You would be surprised what these people can hide.

They keep their hands clean and their names out of it.

You really know a lot about being a criminal.

I told you that I have a past.

It's in the path.

I can't see anything.

Do you hear that?

I've got to call the detective.

Gabby, we don't know. Don't do that. Detective Jennings.

Detective Jennings, it's Gabby. Yes, Gabby. I think we found a life with

Okay, keep your phone on and I'll ping it for your location.

Damn it.

You. You came in yesterday.

What are you doing here?

You need to leave now.

Where is the baby?

Look, I'm trying to do the right thing here, but you ruined things. I'm not

leaving until you tell me where that baby is.

I didn't know.

I only just found out.

I suspected something was... I'm trying to fix this, but he'll be here any

minute.

You need to get out of here.

Oh!

Are you okay?

We'll

conduct

a DNA test to confirm if the baby is Eliza's. Unfortunately, the lab is

up, but I put in a rush request.

I'd say 24 to 48 hours at best.

I promise.

We'll be in touch the moment we have any information.

Thanks.

So,

what are you going to do now?

If that is Eliza's baby, then someone must have sold it to them.

It's obvious Aiden's not the father, but he could have been involved in the sale

of the baby to the adoption agency.

I'll be at a work retreat with them this weekend.

And what?

Just get him to confess?

Yeah.

Look, I have to head out of town tonight. Or else I'd be there with you.

dad is in Florida and he's having surgery. And I have to be there with

I don't want to leave you. It'll be fine. It'll be fine.

You've done enough.

Go be with your dad.

I got this.

Aiden. Hmm.

Oh, uh, do you know where Aiden is?

Oh, he didn't tell you. He's already left for the mountains.

Oh, he wasn't supposed to go until tomorrow.

I don't know.

Hmm.

Hey, I just wanted to give you a heads up.

Jake is actually going to be getting... Uh, Kate, you're breaking up. Can you

hear me?

It's something about getting there early. I can't really hear you.

Hello?

Thank you.

Oh. Hey, Gabby. You're here early.

Oh, hey, Jake.

I... Yeah, I came to set things up.

Kate texted me and said that Aiden should be here, too.

She told me he was coming up tomorrow.

I know. That's what I thought, too.

I heard about the ordeal yesterday.

If it turns out to be Eliza's baby, what then?

Well, I don't think I'm really equipped to raise a baby.

I mean, she is my niece, but... Obviously, I want the best for her,

I didn't mean to upset you.

I just want to get to the bottom of this.

What do you mean?

They caught the people that did this, right?

Yeah, but I don't think that was a random attack.

Somebody sold them the baby.

Look, I think the father of the child wanted the lights are gone.

Needed the money.

That is a big accusation.

Hey, that PI that you hired, did he ever find anything?

Oh, uh, Tim?

He's been out of town for a little bit, so he hasn't had much time to look into

everything yet.

Tim, I thought you said his name was Bill.

No, no, I'm sure I said Tim.

Don't worry. I'll make sure he's up to speed with everything that's happened.

It's cold. I'm going to get some firewood.

You know what? Actually, I'd like his number.

I'd like to speak to him.

Can I have it now, please?

Hello?

Aiden?

Hi. Hey.

Jake. Didn't expect to see you here.

I came to support Kate.

Hey, Gabby, you mind helping me grab some stuff out the car?

Yeah. Thanks.

Glad you could make it.

Hey, Gabby, I just got some stuff in the back.

Grab it for me.

So glad you could come out.

Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be a great weekend.

It was you, wasn't it?

Excuse me?

You killed Eliza. What?

You started gambling again, and you needed the money.

Hey, Gabby, what are you talking about?

You had a connection to the owners at the Blue Slate Bar, and you found out

about the adoption agency.

You made a deal to sell Eliza's baby, and that's why you killed her.

Hey, Gabby, I don't understand.

Explain that, then.

Huh? What is that, a rope and a knife? What's that for? For me?

It's for the team -building exercise.

We're doing a survival simulation in the woods this weekend.

We do it every year. We do it every year. Jake! Jake,

call the police!

Jake!

Come on!

Jake!

Jake, you and Aiden, you have to call the cops!

Gabby, this is a huge misunderstanding.

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

I've never been to the blue sling park.

Ask Jake.

He goes there all the time.

There was no private investigator, was there?

You never hired anyone. You've been lying this entire time.

Well, Gabby, what are you talking about?

Oh, my God, this whole time I thought it was Aiden, but it was you.

You were the one meeting her at the blue slate bar.

You were having an affair with Eliza.

You got her pregnant.

Didn't want Kate to find out, so, what, you killed her?

You've been pretending to be innocent this entire time, and you just are...

Son of a bitch!

Oh, my God! Aiden!

Aiden! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

You!

Come with me.

Okay.

Let's go. Move.

Just tell me the truth.

Please.

Look, if you're going to kill me, just at least tell me what happened.

I loved her.

Ever since I first met you, I knew you were special.

I'm falling for you, too. I have already met with a divorce lawyer.

I will make this work.

It's all going to work out for everyone.

Okay.

Blue.

So you were promising to leave your wife for her?

I got her pregnant.

She wanted to keep the baby. I didn't. She threatened to tell Kate. It was a

nightmare.

Then what about the baby?

I contacted an old acquaintance.

Asked him for help out of a bind.

Who? The guy from the adoption agency?

Yes. He's the one that killed her, not me.

I made a bad business deal.

I had no.

Choice. So you had her killed and then sold the baby. What kind of monster

are you?

That's enough.

What are you going to do?

Take me out back and shoot me?

Blame it on somebody else?

Move. You're never going to get away with this.

Honey.

Kate. Kate.

What is happening?

Jake, he killed Eliza and then he sold the baby.

What? She's lying.

Then why are you holding a gun?

I haven't recorded.

Listen.

I got her pregnant.

She wanted to keep it, but I didn't.

She threatened to tell Kate. It was a nightmare.

I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so sorry.

Please, I can explain. I can explain.

Oh, my God! Aiden!

What did you do?

It was an accident. He came after me.

He never loved me anyway.

It was always about him.

It's not true.

It's not true. Honey, please put the gun down.

Can you blame me for falling for someone else?

That's all you ever cared about, right?

Aiden? You never gave a damn about me.

It's always been about him.

We can talk this through.

We can.

You pushed me away.

Your entire marriage.

What did you expect me to do?

Did you see?

It's all your fault.

If you would have just loved me, none of this would have ever happened.

Go. Go, David.

Go.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

Oh, don't move.

I'm going to get you some help, okay?

Detective. Good morning, Gabby.

I have some good news for you.

Even better than Jake getting arrested?

The DNA test result came back.

Are you serious?

That's amazing news. Thank you so much for letting me know.

That was the hospital. They said that Jared came out of his coma.

That's amazing.

I know.

Should we go in?

Yeah.

Hey! What's going on, y 'all? Good to see you. Good to see you again.

Waited all day at the bakery just to get Kate's favorite cake.

Hey, Marcus, you want to help me out?

There's the birthday lady.

And your beautiful new daughter. Yes.

My niece.

Hey, I just want to thank you for everything you're doing.

I know adopting her must be hard, especially since Jake is... I'm just so

that something beautiful could come out of such an awful situation.

Look.

I don't know exactly where my life is going, but I do want to be a part of

of your lives.

I got you a present.

Oh.

Eliza really loved lockets.

I know if she was here, she would want me to give this to you.

Thank you, Gabby. It's beautiful.

Of course.

Thank you so much.

Hi, sweet angel.

She's so pretty.

You look just like your mama.

You liked it.
