come back!

Lacey!

oh god, uh-

wait, wait, please,
I'm being held captive

by this man
and he's holding me prisoner.

Please, I need to get away.

What are you doing?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no, no.

What'd you do?

She would've been a loose end.

No loose ends.

the boxes are here.

- You got your bag?
- Yeah.

Still looks the same.

I can't wait to get inside.

I know, home sweet home.

Here we go.

whoa.

Look at this place.

Whoa.

I didn't realize
dad had so many paintings.

Yeah, there was so much
he wanted to do,

right up to the end.

He talked about coming up here
and finishing everything.

Look at this view.

- It's amazing.
- You've been here before

- plenty of times.
- Yeah, but not since

I was a tiny, little kid.

Those were good summers.

It's like
something out of a dream.

I can't blame your dad
for turning it into

his painting studio, I mean,
such a beautiful place.

- Yeah.
- Uh-

amara?

great.

That's terrific.

Thank you so much.

I just won the auction for
the brick building downtown.

We can check it out
first thing in the morning.

That's really cool.

- Is it me?
- Yeah.

I remember him
talking about that one.

He had done a thousand
little sketches of you,

but he never put you
in a painting before.

He was so nervous about it.

yeah, there you go.

You can go right through
those doors there.

Sure.

Hi, I need to pick up
my textbook for ap chemistry.

Cool, uh, name?

Amara, amara caldwell.

Caldwell.

Caldwell, caldwell.

Sorry, I actually
don't see you on here.

Could be under a different name?

I don't think so,
but I just moved to the area.

I enrolled late,
like a couple weeks ago.

Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

So, the textbooks were ordered,
like, way before that.

So, what does that mean?

Well, it means officially,
or technically,

you're not on the list
to get your book.

So, I guess I just
can't do my homework,

and I'll fail out of school
and live under a bridge

and beg for scraps of food.

Well, you know,
that's always a possibility,

so we could, um-
hold on one second.

- Ms. Peters.
- Yeah?

We have a student
who enrolled late,

and the school
didn't order her book in time.

Oh, oh, well,
you know, we only get

a certain number of books.

I'm afraid she's gonna have to
talk to the administration.

Right, but I was thinking
that since we-

you know, we did order
a book for lacey,

and since lacey, you know,
won't be needing it,

I thought, um, maybe we could
give it to amara here.

Unless you think
she's trying to con us

- out of a chemistry textbook.
- No.

That's fine, yeah, go ahead.

Cool.

- Thanks.
- Yep,

so where'd
you move here from?

Downtown in the city.

I used to visit here a lot,
but I haven't been back

- in a while.
- Well, welcome back.

That's a really cool bracelet.

Thanks, my dad gave it to me.

Yeah, yeah, I like the-

keep the line moving, please.

- Okay.
- We'll talk later.

I guess we will.

Thank you.

Why is our handwriting so bad?

- Oh, my god-
- cool jacket.

- Thanks.
- She's perfect.

We need someone
totally unbiased.

Hey, new girl,
answer a question for us.

Okay.

What sounds like
a cooler idea for a dance?

"bon voyage," like, you're about
to travel across the ocean

on a cruise vacation,
or "welcome home,"

like, you're returning,
and your friends are there

to celebrate?

Um,

well, if you're talking about
the homecoming dance,

I guess
it makes more sense to be

coming home, not going away.

Told you so.

- Good call, new girl.
- Whatever.

"bon voyage" is a great idea.

Yeah, for a prom or graduation.

- Not for homecoming.
- But, it's like,

"bon voyage,
you're about to embark

on a magical school year."

do you know
how incredibly lame you sound?

You can go now.

Oh, my god.

I can't with you,
I can't with you.

- No, I can't with you.
- Okay.

here we go.

So, all of this is ours?

Yeah, the previous owners
stopped paying their bills,

so the bank got everything,
and now everything's ours.

- Weird.
- So, this weekend, we're gonna

have a big yard sale.

Turn this place into
the most beautiful art gallery

in the city.

Yeah.

okay, if someone tries
to bargain with you,

sell stuff
for as cheap as you want.

I just wanna get rid of it all.

- Okay.
- Mrs. Caldwell?

- Yeah.
- I own the restaurant

right around the corner,
carducci's.

- Oh, nice to meet you.
- Paul.

Diane.

We share a dumpster
and a parking lot.

This sale isn't going to be
a problem, is it?

Oh no, no, there's no problem,
I just wanted to come over

and wish you luck.

You-you're new to the area?

My husband grew up here.

My late husband.

But now, my daughter and I
moved into his old studio.

- He was an artist?
- Yeah, that's why

I'm opening a gallery.

Partly because I have about
a million of his paintings,

but also, I used to be
an art dealer,

- before I had amara.
- Oh, that's great.

You know, the art scene here
is really thriving.

Yeah, well I've reached out
to some artists,

but hopefully
it'll be up and running

- by the end of the month.
- Oh.

I meant to grab business cards.

Just wait there,
I'll grab you one.

hey, hey, guys!

- How much is this one?
- That one's 30 bucks.

Are you serious?
This is, uh, japanese steel.

This is a $150 knife.

You can pay more if you want.

Tell you what, I'll sell you
everything on this table

for $1 million.

I'm sorry, I guess I care
too much about this stuff.

Caring is good.

Hey, is anyone out there?

Open up!

The door's locked!

Ugh! Oh, my god.

Hey!

Help!

Open up!

how about 20 bucks?

Sold.

Help!

What do you need it for anyway?

Funny story actually,
I'm going to-

mom!

- Mom-
- over here, let me help,

let me help, let me help.

Mom.

Mom!

I can't see her.

come on, come on, come on!

Help!

I don't-should you-
you wanna put a rock through it?

Come on!

- Help!
- What do we do? What do we do?

- What do we do?
- Oh, here, let me see

if I can shimmy it.

Mom!

Mom.

Mom!

Oh, my god, oh, my god.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

are you okay?

I'm pretty-pretty sure
someone just tried to kill me.

- Oh, my god.
- Water.

- Should I get some water?
- Yeah.

Okay.

hi.

- What?
- So, we usually have

four people
on the homecoming committee,

but after
what happened to lacey,

we need a fourth.

What happened to lacey?

A tragic loss.

But, the show must go on.

And since you're, like,
obviously not an idiot,

and don't seem
to have an agenda,

we thought you might be
a good candidate for, you know,

if you're interested,
maybe assisting a little bit,

- or, um-
- would you be interested

in joining homecoming committee?

Sure.

I mean, what's involved?

It's super easy.

We plan the dance,
decorate for it,

get a dj and a lighting guy,
and make sure it's fun.

Yeah, that sounds cool.

Who's the fourth?

- Huh?
- You said there was four people.

- You two, me...
- Oh, my boyfriend.

That's the best part.

He's like a total boy scout,

and super easy to manipulate.

He does pretty much
whatever I want, so,

I'll make him do
all the hard stuff

and we can party.

So, what do I have to do?

Well, you usually spend
most of your time

in the library alone,

- uh, studying.
- Yeah.

So, you can spend most of
that time hanging out with us.

Come on.

My backpack.

Okay.

hey, sweetie,
I just wanted to let you know

I'm finally on my way home.

Are you okay for dinner?

Okay, great, see you soon.

ugh, no.

- What happened?
- Oh.

Uh, the full treatment,
they slashed my tire

and smashed the window.

Well, that's a lousy
end of the day.

Hey, hank's auto body is just
a couple miles up the road.

Let's get you towed,
I can give you a ride home.

It's okay, I can handle it.

I insist.

I quit my job in the city
and moved back,

and took over
my dad's restaurant,

which feels like what I was
always meant to be doing.

Hm.

- Is this you?
- Yeah.

Thanks for
taking my mind off things.

In my imagination,
opening an art gallery

was a lot easier.

It'll be worth it.

You know, the beginning
is always the hard part.

Yeah, give me a call
in the morning

if you want a ride in.

Will do.

Oh, hey.

Hi.

Crazy day.

But, the car is in the shop.

How are you doing?

Fine.

I was just wondering,
how did you meet dad?

Uh, well,

I was working in a gallery.

He was painting houses.

And he dropped by the gallery,
because we were having

some event
with free food and drinks.

But, I thought
he was always an artist.

Yeah, he was a born artist,
but I was the one

who pushed him
into taking lessons.

Where's this coming from?

The other day,
right before the fire,

I met this really cute guy,
but after all the craziness,

he was gone,
and I didn't get his name

or his number or anything.

There's a lot
of cute guys out there.

Yeah, but what if
he was the one?

Now I'll probably
never see him again.

I feel like
we were supposed to meet,

and now destiny
is just moving on without me.

Amara, you've got
plenty of time.

Oh, wow, it's really melted,
but-

mm-hm.

- That is good.
- Mm-hm.

Thank you.

okay, time is running out.

Now that we're going with
a simple "welcome home" theme,

we just need, like,
a color scheme

and some good ideas
for decorating the gym.

Well, what about lighting, dj,

and the rest of the planning?

I'm having my boyfriend
do all that.

If there's anything
we don't like,

I'll just make him change it.

So, are you seeing anyone?

Me? Like, dating someone?

Yeah, like a date
for homecoming.

Um, I've never dated anybody.

- Seriously?
- I knew it.

I just got here, it's not like
I know a ton of people.

But, like, is there someone
you're interested in?

Kinda.

I don't know, just this guy
I met first day of school.

- Oh yeah?
- Come on, tell us everything.

- Who is it?
- Hey, baby.

You're so cute
in your new shirt.

Amara,
this is my boyfriend jake.

- Hi.
- Hello.

You were just in time
for some juicy gossip.

Amara here was about to
tell us all about the guy

- she has a crush on.
- Uh, you know what?

I should probably go, I didn't
realize how late it was,

and my mom
wants me home for dinner, so-

- oh, okay.
- I'll see you guys later.

- Okay, see ya.
- See ya.

Bye.

Hello?

Mom?

mom?

"have whatever
you want for dinner.

I'm on a date with paul,
I'll be back later."

great, everybody's got a date
except for me.

so, I'll give you a rundown
of what's going on.

Um, we usually have
the dj set up right around here.

Hey.

- Looking good.
- Thanks.

What about me?

- You're looking hot.
- That's what I like to hear.

Did you guys show amara
how we do the front entrance?

Not yet, we're about to
go over decoration ideas.

Here, I'll show you,
so you get a good idea

- of how the dance is laid out.
- Cool.

Yeah.

Is it just me, or is new girl
totally trying to get with

my boyfriend?

I'm on it, I have a plan
of what we can do

with cute, little amara.

Yeah, so that way there's less
of, like, a bottleneck

when people
are coming into the dance.

- Mm-hm.
- And plus, a lot of people

just like to hang around
and not really dance.

Yeah, do you dance?

When I'm having a good time,
yes.

But, if you made me
dance right now,

I'd probably think I'm some kind

of malfunctioning robot.

Yeah, same here, I'm actually
probably more embarrassing

- when I'm having a good time.
- Yeah?

Check it out, follow the link.

I signed you up
for spark to date.

The dating app?

Yeah, already paid for
a premium membership.

Got you an account,

and all you need
is a few more pics.

Sexy, but not thirsty.

"looking for
a quality guy who wants

to make my days
a little brighter.

I'm artistic, curious,
and new to dating.

Let's go to a good restaurant
or check out the mountains."

that's a good profile,
don't you think so?

Um, yeah.

She sounds really dateable.

I don't know about this.

Don't you have to be 18?

As far as the app knows,
you are 18.

Plus, I got you
a rideshare account,

so you can go wherever you want
with whoever you want.

Thanks.

Look, you don't have to
have a date,

but trust me, homecoming is
a lot better with a partner.

- So, who are you going with?
- I don't know.

My older brother
has a lot of hot friends,

so I'll probably go
with one of them.

But, you need options.

- Do you think it'll work?
- You're sexy.

I bet you can get
any guy you want.

Aw, kevin,

you were cute
before you got creepy.

Bye-bye.

It's him.

- What?
- Nothing.

Hello again, shane.

I'll make a deal with you.

Huh?

Tear yourself away
from your phone,

and I'll take us
for some gelato.

Wait, what?

You, me, gelato, now.

Uh-uh, no phone.

Was dad romantic with you?

Romantic, like,
roses and love poetry?

Yeah.

Um, I remember one time

I told him about
a dream I'd had,

and he painted it for me.

He always made me feel special.

I mean, you can't rush it.

I wasn't looking for love
when I found your father,

and he was almost
15 years older than me.

I think he'd given up on love,
but-

my phone is gone.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I left it right here.

It's gone, so is my backpack.

The door is open.

What do we do?

I'm gonna call the police.

- Ahh!
- Mom!

Ahh!

- Ugh!
- Oh, my god!

Ohh.

Thank you, officer.

Yeah, I'll be waiting.

Okay, I can't promise anything,
but it's possible

that one of my security cameras
got someone coming or going

from your parking lot.

Let me just back it up
20 minutes or so here.

- There.
- That's him.

- That's the guy who attacked me.
- Okay.

Let me make a copy of
this recording for the police.

I definitely need
better security.

You know, I've got a friend
who's a private investigator.

Might be able to give you
some more options.

No, thanks,
but I'll wait and see

what the police have to say.

Hey, before you go, um,

I was wondering
if the two of you

would be interested
in coming over for dinner

tomorrow night,
on the house, of course.

I just figured, you know,

it's the least I could do,
given your rocky start.

- Amara?
- Whatever.

- We'd like that.
- All right.

- Okay.
- I'll see you then.

Yeah.

It's weird that
your mom's place got vandalized.

Everything is usually
pretty safe around here.

- Safe?
- Yeah.

Safe and boring.

But, what about lacey?

- What about her?
- What's the real story?

Why doesn't anybody
wanna talk about it?

Talking about it
won't bring her back.

Yeah but, how'd she disappear?

Was it an accident,
murder, suicide?

Look, if anyone was
ever gonna get mixed up

into something bad,

it was lacey.

What does that mean?

She took a lot of risks.

Probably pissed off
the wrong guy.

She was your friend, right?

I mean, not really.

You were on
homecoming committee together.

Yeah, last year.

That was
a million lifetimes ago.

I don't know what she was doing
over the summer.

Just forget about it, okay?

You didn't even know lacey.

Sorry.

you look fabulous.

So, paul and I
went shopping earlier.

Oh!

That's the latest generation.

- Best one they make.
- The family plan's still good,

so all you need to do
is activate it.

- Amara, what do you say?
- Hm?

- Thank him for the new phone.
- Oh, thank you.

Seriously, this is a lifesaver.

You're welcome.

Use responsibly.

so, I think the gallery
will speak for itself.

But, you know, the tough part
is getting people

to know it exists.

You know, I've been
thinking about that.

Hm?

What about cross promotion?

What if I put a display
from your gallery

- here in the restaurant.
- And I can direct people to you.

Yeah, we could pass out
each other's business cards,

or coupons or something.

I mean,
it would only make sense.

We're right around the corner
from each other.

- It's a win-win.
- Totally.

- I like that.
- Okay, so,

just south of the rio grande,
there's a small border town

mexico side.

Tiny town.

This town is famous
because it floods.

They have a dam
just north of the town,

and it floods every year.
But, occasionally,

with big storms,
they have bad floods.

I mean, like,
bury-the-town bad floods.

There's one church
and one priest.

So, this time,
the rains came heavy,

and the whole town knew
that a flood was coming.

So, the whole town picks up,
starts to pack up

- and leave, right?
- Mm-hm, mm-hm.

Whole town's gone.

One guy goes, "oh my gosh,

back at the missi�n,
the father, the priest,

we have to go get him."

so, they turn around
and they take their truck.

They go back,
and the rain is coming down,

and these were dangerous times,
they go back, but they did it,

- they went in, all right?
- Okay, yeah.

So, they get to the church,
door's always open.

Ah, go in-they go inside.

"father, come with us,
the rain is coming.

It's gonna flood,
you know it's gonna flood.

You have to come with us,"
and he's like, "no, no,

- I'm gonna stay."
- what's he gonna do?

He said,
"the lord will protect me."

- okay.
- And so, they're like,

"okay, bye."

- yeah, "I'm out."
- not me, I'm going.

So, they're gone, right?
So, the storm gets worse,

and these people have made it,
they're okay.

- Yeah.
- But, they're going,

"oh my gosh, the priest
is still back at the church."

so, they get a boat,
and they go back to the church,

and they go find him,
and he's in the church,

but he's okay.

Wow, this looks so good.

Smart and steady.

That's the right way
to run a business.

He's got a great outlook
on things, don't you think?

I just admire someone who could
make a go of it like that.

- I met a guy, too.
- Oh yeah?

- Someone from school?
- No.

The cute guy from the yard sale.

It was kinda like fate.

I found his profile on upfront.

The dating app?

Amara,
you're too young for that.

Not till you're 18.

It's just a way
of meeting people.

I need a date for the dance.

I'm on homecoming committee.

That means if I go
to homecoming without a date,

I'm like the lamest person
in the worid.

- Everybody says so.
- What do you mean,

"everybody says so"?

- Whatever, you don't care.
- I do care.

Listen, I want you to have
a great social life,

but when it comes to dating,

oh, maybe take it slow,

settle into
your new school first.

- It's not up to you.
- What?

It's not up to you.

yeah,
they're definitely flirting.

That's gross.

Everything she does
is so desperate.

I hate how sweet

and innocent she acts.

Think about it,
since she's been here,

all she's done
is drool over jake,

brag about her dead dad,

and ask questions about lacey.

She's up to something.

Hey, amara's got
some really good ideas

about the lighting.

Oh, does she?

Yeah, it's exciting.

Hopefully this is gonna be
the best dance yet.

Well, thanks to you guys.

All right, gotta go.

Headed to practice,
see you later.

Bye.

Hey, amara, can I talk to you
for a second?

Yeah, what's up?

You're off homecoming committee.

Effective immediately.

What?

Why?

Because two of us voted you off.

Get lost, amara.

What about the dance?

Honestly,
it would probably be better

if you didn't even come
to the dance at all.

And stay away from jake.

it's better this way.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- That's you.
- Thank you.

- Saw the camera out front.
- Yeah.

One aimed at the parking lot,

and there's three more inside.

I'm just taking a look
at some of the footage.

All right.

- Oh.
- Looks like we got

- a little something.
- Yep, there he is.

Creeping around.

Well, at least I've got
something more to show the cops.

Yeah.

Hi, sweetie, how was school?

Fine.

Getting excited
about homecoming?

I guess, whatever.

She's on
the homecoming committee.

It's kind of a big deal.

Did you find a date?

Maybe.

There's a guy
that's flirting with me,

but he's not sure if he can go.

Flirting, huh, like,
flirting with dirty texts?

Mom, no, ew.

Just texting, talking.

- He seems cool.
- Okay, well,

if you wanna meet him,
I wanna meet him, too.

I gotta take this.

Shane?

Hey, I got all of your texts.

Hell of a day, huh?

I don't know why
they hate me so much.

I thought homecoming committee
was going really well,

but it's like they were
being nice to me

just so they could set me up.

Are you still
going to the dance?

Are you kidding?
Becky and heather

will probably murder me.

Sad part is,
I was actually excited to go.

I thought we might finally
get to be together.

You're more grown up than
some silly school dance anyways.

Come out on a date with me.

Like, a date-date?

I don't think
my mom will let me.

So, just tell her
you're going to the dance.

Come on, we can go
some place fancy,

and be king and queen
for the night.

Like where?

How about
that fancy french restaurant

down by the river.

Lafayette cafe.

Are you kidding?

Look, sooner or later
we gotta meet,

and I'm dying to see you.

Why don't you let me treat you
to a really special evening?

I don't know.

I'll see you in front
of the restaurant at 7:00.

- Okay.
- Great.

We're gonna have some fun,
amara.

I'll see you soon.

amara, you look incredible.

Yeah?

I feel kinda ridiculous.

I guess I'm just
supposed to pretend

like I know
how to walk in heels.

Trust me,
when it comes to high heels,

everyone's faking it.

Hold on, I gotta get a pic.

Okay.

so, are you gonna meet up
with the guy at the dance?

Maybe, I don't know,
I'm just gonna go

with becky and heather
and dance,

- hang out a little bit.
- I thought

- becky was picking you up.
- Oh, I told you,

I got a rideshare,
it's no big deal.

Okay, have an amazing time.

- I will.
- I'm gonna wait up for you.

- Okay, I love you.
- Love you.

Hello.

amara.

Wow.

You look stunning.

Shall we get dinner?

With the vegetables on the side.

Let's see.

Can I get the '99 beaujolais,
please?

- Thank you.
- You're so welcome.

Thank you.

So, full disclosure.

I am not actually 19 years old.

I'm 23.

When I joined the app,
I filled out my profile wrong,

and now it won't let me
go back and change it.

Oh, so you're not
a college freshman?

Actually, I was never
a college freshman.

I joined the army
right out of high school,

traveled the worid,
and now I'm back home,

waiting for my next chapter.

A lot like being 18 again.

I should probably come clean.

I'm not 18.

I'm 16.

I'm a sophomore, not a senior.

I thought you were about to say
you were like, my age.

You seem so sophisticated.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Thanks.

So, I guess our age difference
is kinda weird.

What do you think
we should do about it?

I think
we should worry about that

after dessert.

I'm really enjoying
your company.

no, it's true.

He was a cop for over 30 years.

Now he's retired,
lives in florida,

and wishes me a merry christmas
on facebook every year,

but other than that, I haven't
talked to him in years.

What about you,
what did your dad do?

He was an artist, a painter.

Your last name's caldwell.

Is your dad ellis caldwell?

You're making fun of me.

You don't really know
who my dad is...

- No, no, no, of course I do.
- ...Was.

Your dad's landscapes
are pretty famous around here.

I grew up hunting and fishing
in these mountains,

and whenever I see
one of his paintings,

it reminds me of my childhood.

Me too.

So, do you know what you
wanna do with the next chapter

of your life?

Yeah, of course, that's easy.

What?

Fall in love.

I had a really good time.

You made me forget
all about that stupid dance.

I bet we had more fun
than anyone else in the worid.

I think that's me.

Promise you'll see me again?

I promise.

Have a good night.

oh hey,
how was the dance last night?

Fine, it was fun I guess.

That's all you're gonna say?

Come on,
gotta be some juicy stories.

Well, there is one story,
but I think

- it's supposed to be a secret.
- Oh yeah?

Well, I can keep a secret.

So, after the dance,
I saw this really horny guy

making out
with this really horny girl,

and then I realized
she was my mom.

Amara, that's not funny.

Yeah, not as hilarious
as seeing you suck face

with the restaurant guy.

You know his name is paul,
and I thought you liked him.

He's fine, but the fact
that you're already

halfway in bed with him
is a little weird.

Sweetie...

Your father has been gone
for almost two years now.

It's been a long
and painful process,

but I deserve some happiness,

and I deserve
someone to kiss me.

Mom, ew.

You know I loved your father,

and you know he wanted me
to have a future.

What about my future?

Don't I deserve
to date someone fun?

Sweetie, I wish
you would slow down.

Slow down?

You're such a hypocrite.

How do you know
you can even trust him?

So far, paul has been
very good to me,

but trust is not
something I know.

It's something I'm finding out.

Well, I guess
I'll just make sure

that nobody ever touches me,
and you can just let me know

when you've officially
replaced dad.

This paul guy is,
like, right around

the corner from her,
but you're all the way

across town from me.

It's not fair.

I wish you were closer.

Yeah, me too.

Amara, I need to see you.

You're all I think about.

It's-it's like
we've known each other forever,

and we know how
to make each other happy.

I agree.

I didn't know
it could feel like this.

I should probably get to class.

It started, like,
ten minutes ago.

Come see me tonight.

I have to help my mom
organize my dad's paintings.

Just tell her
you're out with becky.

I really shouldn't.

Do it, amara, please.

I need to see you,
and I know you need to see me.

All right.

you look gorgeous.

Is this where you wanted to go?

Yeah, it's a fun place.

It's a bar?

I don't know if you forgot,
but I'm way underage.

Oh, don't worry about that.

This place is cool.

And besides,
I got you something.

A fake id?

That's as real
as you want it to be.

Come on.

- Thank you, sir.
- All right.

cheers.

- Mm.
- Here we go.

but there's no one home ♪

my way out ♪

it waste away ♪

you know, we met
before we matched.

Do you remember?

I bought a knife from you,
in front of the store.

You were the most
beautiful girl

I had ever seen.

- Why'd you disappear?
- You ran off.

I guess I figured
I'd said something stupid.

Besides, I haven't had
a lot of luck with the ladies,

and you can be pretty scary.

Scary?

It would be easy
to fall in love with you.

I got to go.

care to explain this?

Where did you get this?

Did becky or heather
get this for you?

Shane got it for me

because he treats me
like an adult.

- Shane? Who is shane?
- The guy I met online.

I told you about him,
but you didn't want to hear it.

So this guy, this older guy
takes you out

and gets you drunk,
and you think he respects you?

It wasn't like that.

We had fun, okay?

He listens
and takes care of me.

You're smarter than that, amara,

and you're way too young
to be sneaking into bars.

There.

The age of consent here is 16.

That means I'm an adult.

That's not how it works.

Who is this guy?

- What's his full name?
- Shane mccoy.

He's a good guy, he's smart,

a fan of dad's work,
and he's from around here.

- You don't have to freak out.
- You are five years away

from stepping foot in a bar.

Do you understand?

I trust you,
and you go running off

and do something you know
is reckless and stupid,

- and it's dangerous!
- So now I'm stupid.

I- I didn't say that, amara.

Amara, break it off
with shane immediately

and please just focus on
your schoolwork.

- I'm getting all as.
- Then try spending more time

with friends your own age.

Get a clue, mom.

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

oh.

- What's wrong?
- Didn't you say

you knew a guy, um,

a private investigator?

Yeah.

Diane, this is leo.

- Leo, diane.
- I'm sorry to make

your acquaintance
under these circumstances.

We better sit down.

Shane mccoy is actually
shane barrow, age 29.

He's got an extensive record.

Ms. Caldwell,
I'm gonna be blunt.

Now this is
a worst-case scenario.

He was incarcerated
as a juvenile,

and at age 18, he was
dishonorably discharged

from the army over an incident
involving a 16-year-old girl.

Oh my god.

Since then, a few citations
for drunk and disorderly,

but it looks like
he and a friend got busted

for a dog fighting operation
and charged

with animal cruelty
and racketeering.

I don't understand
how amara could fall

for someone like him.

He must have been
a pretty charming guy

to get through life.

But on paper,
he's a depraved monster.

There's one more thing
which might explain a lot:

He owned your building.

Well, he co-owned it
before the bank foreclosed.

It was his store,
arms and steel.

I remember the old owners.

Bullies.

They scared away customers

and ran that business
into the ground.

I got to talk to amara.

No, ms. Caldwell, be careful.

He could be
especially dangerous

if he feels cornered.

Thank you.

Unbutton, unbutton one more.

No, I told you that last one
was enough.

Come on.

Please, just-you can leave
your bra on.

Just undo a couple
more buttons, please.

Come on, you're so hot.

- Amara?
- I got to go.

Open up.

Amara?

Jeez, what's the big emergency?

You were just talking to him,
weren't you?

It's none of your business.

Amara, honey,
you cannot do this.

I checked up on shane,
and he has a criminal record.

You don't know him at all.

- He's a good person.
- You cannot...

You don't control my life!

- If your father was here...
- Well, he's not.

If you see him again,
I will call the police.

I hate you.

oh, no.

No.

Oh, no.

- hello?
- Listen,

there's been a break-in
at the gallery.

Mom, I'm at school.

I'm not really supposed
to talk on the phone.

Okay, this is an emergency,
amara.

All of your father's paintings
have been stolen.

- What?
- They're all gone.

I just talked to the police.

I thought you had,
like, a security system.

Well, whoever stole
the paintings,

they broke in from the back.

So, do the police know
who did it?

They're looking into it now,

but there's
a pretty obvious suspect.

I knew you were
gonna blame him.

He has a police record,

and he's 13 years
older than you.

Dad was 14 years older than you
when you guys met.

Oh, amara, that was different.

Come on.

You're not thinking clearly.

Please just promise me
you won't talk to shane.

Whatever, you can't call me
during school hours.

Amara...

Amara!

Hey, I came as quick
as I could.

- The video is here.
- Okay.

You okay?

Oh my gosh.

Wait, stop it, stop it.

Oh my gosh.

See if we can see
his face here.

- Is that him?
- Mm-hm.

Ah, nothing.

- hey.
- Hey.

What's wrong?

Do you know what happened
to my dad's paintings?

- No, what happened?
- You didn't move them

or borrow them or anything?

- Of course not.
- I mean it, shane.

You have to tell me if you know

what happened to the paintings.

My mom is going crazy.

Look, amara,
your mother is under

a lot of pressure right now.

I know how hard it is
to get a business going.

You can't expect her
to be perfect,

especially when she thinks
you're in trouble.

She's, like, totally paranoid.

She says she loves me,
but it feels more like control.

She won't even give you
a chance.

Yeah, well,
maybe we can fix that.

Why don't you start
at the beginning

and tell me everything
that's going on?

Okay.

It's nice to finally meet you,
mrs. Caldwell.

- Sorry we got off on the...
- Let her go.

- Mom! I'm not a hostage.
- ...Wrong foot.

Going to see shane was my idea.

You don't have the full story.

- He isn't dangerous.
- The full story?

Did he tell you
he got kicked out of the army

for what he did
to a teenage girl?

Oh, and how
did you hear that, huh?

From paul?
From paul's hired gun?

You really think
he's such a saint, don't you?

You believe
every word he says.

More than I trust you.

You know, I get it.

I'm older than amara and, yeah,

I've made some mistakes
in my life.

I don't claim to be perfect.

I just wish you would judge me
for who I am today.

- Get out of my gallery.
- Mom...

At least listen to him.

If you don't trust me,

at least let me
earn your trust.

Okay, fair is fair.

Give me one reason
why I wouldn't

call the cops on you
right this second.

Because I can help you find
your lost paintings.

Chances are
they're still in town,

and I know this town
like the back of my hand.

I grew up here.

The fact that I used to know
some outlaws

may come in handy.

I'm not making a deal with you.

I'm just offering my help
as a sign of goodwill.

Give me 48 hours
and I'll find your paintings.

Get out of my gallery,
and stay away from my daughter.

Forty-eight hours.

You'll see.

you're wrong about him.

Huh.

I got the paintings.

All of 'em.

I wish I could've seen
the look on her face

when she went walking
into that empty gallery.

Yeah, I need 'em back.

- What now?
- The paintings.

Dallas, she's not an idiot.

She's on to us.

So take 'em out back
and burn 'em.

They're worth more than that.

So you're gonna become
some partners

in some rich lady's
art gallery?

The plan was to bleed her dry.

The plan was to balance
the scales

so that we ain't
always struggling.

And once we send her
the shredded remains

of one of those
overpriced paintings,

she's gonna pay us cash money
to save the rest of 'em.

That's how this works!

The cops are involved now.

Sooner or later,
it's gonna track back here.

Relax, we've got
all the leverage.

I mean, you can't
have an art gallery

without art, right?

It was our store, man.

Don't you want payback?

If I can win her trust,
I can win her daughter.

Dream on.

That little princess

is never gonna end up
with a guy like you.

It's already happening.

Dammit, shane!

You've got to stay away
from these little giris, man.

These teenage giris?

They're just too much trouble.

You keep making
the same mistakes

again and again!

Just break the pattern.

Break the pattern, yeah.

That's good advice.

I think I'm ready for something
a little different.

hey, sweetie,
I'm so glad you're home.

Look, we need to talk.

Are you gonna apologize?

For what?

Amara!

hello?

afternoon.
My name is diane caldwell.

I'm here to see
detective harris.

ms. Caldwell?

Hey.

We received an anonymous tip
about your stolen paintings.

Watch your step.

Mm-hm.

When we came to check it out,
we found the suspect dead

of an apparent
self-inflicted gunshot.

Now, ms. Caldwell,
I'm gonna ask you

to take a look at the body
to id it.

Have you ever...

- No.
- No? Okay, that's okay.

All right, we just need to know
if it's the guy, okay?

Is this the man
who attacked you?

I think so, I have videos,
but I've never ided him.

His name was
dallas wayne conroy.

He's one of the fellas
who used to own your building.

Must be why he was so fixated
on your gallery.

We knew him pretty well.

Drugs, petty crime, bar fights.

Some people thought
he was mixed up

in the disappearance
of lacey travers.

This ending isn't out of tune
with the rest of his life.

It's still an awful waste.

At least it answers
a few questions.

- What do you mean?
- Follow me.

My paintings,
I can't believe it.

Does it look like
they're all there?

I'll have to do an inventory,
but, yeah.

Mr. Conroy knew how to sneak in
and out of your building.

I guess he figured it'd be
a pretty easy robbery.

Art theft seems
a little out of his league,

but he was
a pretty desperate guy.

You need to find his partner.

Shane barrow.

He's dating my daughter.

I think he's behind everything.

It just doesn't feel right.

We're gonna find shane barrow

and bring him in
for questioning.

I don't want you to worry.

- My daughter is only 16.
- If shane is responsible

for this, he won't get far.

Trust me.

shane didn't attack you.

Shane didn't steal
the paintings.

No, it was his partner,
and now he's dead, amara.

Who else could have done it?

- What about paul?
- Paul?

This has nothing
to do with him.

Are you really that blind, mom?

Okay, fine,
shane used to be a bad boy,

but he's changed.

What if the real creep
is mr. Nice guy?

- Amara...
- When somebody vandalized

your car, paul was
right there to help,

and he saved you from the fire
and really looked like a hero.

Doesn't that seem
a little suspicious?

- It wasn't like that.
- Don't you think it's weird

that he got us phones?

He knows all about
your new security,

knows where
all the cameras are.

Probably knows how to get
all your passwords and codes.

Did shane come up
with this little theory?

I have eyes, mom.

Everything you think
you know about shane

comes from paul's
private investigator.

Did you ever do
a background check on paul?

You're getting off-track.

Can you say
for absolute certain

that he had nothing to do
with stealing the paintings?

I'll stay away from shane
if you stay away from paul.

we're closed.

So I get all
your paintings back,

and you thank me
by sending the cops after me.

You need to stay away
from my daughter.

I have been very respectful
to your daughter.

Okay, instead of thinking
about all the things

I've done in the past,

maybe you should focus
on all the good

I can do for amara.

She's 16.

It's not gonna happen.

Mrs. Caldwell, your daughter
and I are in love.

Now I'm trying to turn over
a new leaf here

and start a better life.

Are you going to give me
a fair chance,

or are you gonna
stand in my way?

Is there a problem here?

I think it's time to activate
the gps tracker

and maybe block his calls.

need a lift?

Shane, it's so good to see you.

I think my mom
blocked your number.

I can't call you or text you
or anything.

Yeah, your mom's got
some trust issues.

Hey, I found the guy
who stole her paintings

just like I said I would.

You have no idea what
those paintings mean to us.

Thank you.

But my mom thinks
you killed him.

Oh, it wasn't like that, okay?

He shot himself.
You have to believe me.

He was my friend, but he was
in a very dark place.

- The cops want to talk to you.
- Yeah, I'm sure they do.

I've got a record which means
the cops will harass me

for the rest of my life.

Just talk to them
and clear it up,

or maybe I can talk
to my mom again.

We're past that, okay?

It's time for us
to be together, okay?

Get in the truck.

My mom wants me to come home.

Amara, destiny is happening
right here and right now.

I can't ignore it anymore.

I am in love with you.

I'm in love with you too.

But this is real trouble,

everything that's happened
with my mom, the cops.

If we're gonna be together,
you have to clear it up.

That's exactly
what I intend to do,

but with everybody
turning against me,

I at least need to know
that you believe in me, okay?

I can't do this alone.

Please come with me.

Or I can just go.

I'll go, and you'll
never see me again,

and you'll never have to worry
about any of this.

That's my girl.

thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Beautiful paintings.
- Thanks.

The grand opening is on Friday.

I wish I had better news.

I wanted to come
and talk to you directly

- in person because...
- He hasn't turned up.

We're still keeping an eye out.

He has to come back
to his apartment eventually

unless he's already fled
the area.

Can I ask you...

The restaurant next door,
the owner, paul,

does he have a record
for anything?

You think he might be involved?

No.

I don't know.

When my car got smashed,
he had it towed

to hank's auto body,

and is that just a coincidence?

I mean, I don't know,
I don't know who to trust.

We'll check it out.

In the meantime, if you're
wondering who to trust,

keep trusting yourself.

We'll be in touch.

Turn your phone off.

As long as your phone is on,
your mom can track us.

We'll be okay
if we keep moving.

Four hundred is the maximum
I can withdraw.

So get all four hundred.

Do it. Now.

Come on, we need fast cash.

It's an emergency.

whoo!

Plan is working.

Almost free.

I still don't understand
what the plan is.

- Shane...
- Cheers.

Drinking to the future.

Can you at least tell me
where we're going?

I still haven't quite
figured that out yet.

Maybe just head to mexico.

Figure it out from there.

Mexico?

That's crazy.

Tell me what happened to lacey.

You drunk already?

You got a loose tongue
saying all the things

you've been too scared
to say before.

Did you have anything
to do with it?

I did not.

My friend did.

Your friend...

The one who stole
the paintings?

Dallas.

I owned the store with him,
grew up with him.

He was like a brother to me,
which is why

it was so hard to see it.

See what?

I couldn't see
how evil he was.

Dallas didn't think you were
worth changing plans for.

He only had...

Bad thoughts.

- So you murdered him.
- I stopped him.

I used to feel so guilty

about the things
I did with him,

but that was all him.

That wasn't my fault.

Now I have a new life,

a clean life with you.

I don't want a new life.

Oh, that's because
you haven't seen it yet.

We'll get a small fortune

and find ourselves
a slice of paradise.

I got to get back home
to my mom.

Oh, no, we can't do that.

We're already in the wind.

Just give me my phone.

- I just need...
- No, no, your mom

is tracking your phone.

We can't have that.

I want my phone.

Did you put something
in my drink?

Yeah. Yeah, I sure did.

You're a handful, amara,
but you sure ain't stupid.

Don't worry,
it's just a little something

to help you sleep.

But I don't want to...

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Hush.

Everything is gonna be
different now.

diane, you need to calm down.

I can't calm down.

This notification says
she withdrew most of her money.

She would never do that,

and she never turns
her phone off.

I think it's time
to call the police.

Amara?

I have your daughter.

Contact the police
and she dies.

If you try to mess with me,
she dies.

Please, all I care about
is keeping her safe.

Just tell me what you want.

I want the same thing
everyone wants:

Money.

So, start gathering
all the cash you can,

and if it's enough,

she might just live
to see the sun rise.

Okay, okay, what-whatever
you want,

just please let me talk
to amara.

I'll contact you
with further instructions.

good morning.

- Where are we?
- Just imagine

you're in one
of your daddy's paintings.

My store, arms and steel...

Make every man feel
like a warrior.

You know what
I'm talking about.

It was supposed to be
my ticket out of here.

I could've had franchises
across the state,

across the country really.

They say small business
ownership

is the american dream.

But if you miss
one little payment,

then it's like
the bank owns you

and they just start squeezing
and squeezing and squeezing,

and they don't stop
until you're penniless.

You can't play by the rules.

You've got to make
your own luck.

So, for once,

I've decided to make
the system work for me.

Not too much longer
and I think we'll be free.

Okay.

So then why am I tied up?

Oh, that is for
your own protection.

See, the plan is to be free,
but we're not there yet.

I got to go tie up
some loose ends.

No loose ends.

That's what dallas taught me.

But...

I have to know
if I can trust you.

Like...

Like real trust.

Like...

Life-or-death trust.

can I trust you, amara?

Of course.

I love you, shane.

Good, I love you too.

Okay.

So, then, doesn't that mean
you should untie me?

So that we can be together?

You're a beautiful young lady.

You know that, right?

If I untie you
and you do something stupid...

...I'm gonna
have to make you ugly.

- Understand?
- Yeah.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- you want some coffee?
- Okay.

Yeah?

cream? Sugar?

- No? Okay.
- No.

Cheers.

Ahh!

Ah!

amara!

Bring me back those boots!

Agh!

Ow.

ah.

Amara, I will kill you!

Wait! Wait, please!

No!

Oh.

Oh, thank god.

Thank god. Thank you so much.

Someone is trying to kill me.

I need to get back to...

- Amara?
- Becky?

Get in.

Oh my god, becky.

I can't believe
this is happening to me,

but it is.

I just need to get out of here.

Of course.

It sounds like you've been
through hell.

Are you gonna call the police?

Yeah, of course, right?

I mean, I don't know,
I just want to get home.

Well, want to hear
some crazy news?

Okay.

Jake dumped heather.

Probably got tired of getting
ordered around, I guess.

It's funny how things work.

Now you can try to snag him
as your boyfriend.

What are all the groceries for?

Oh, just shopping.

Becky, where are we going?

Uh, my friend lives up here.

We can call the cops
from his place.

Why don't we just use
your cell phone?

No service up here.

You know how the mountains are.

Yeah, sorry.

I have one question.

Sure.

Why do you have
my brother's boots?

Becky, no.

Becky, please.

Please, don t!

Becky, please,
you can't do this!

Becky!

uh-uh-uh-uh.

Ah!

Shane!

Dammit, shane,
I keep finding you giris

and you keep losing them?

I thought she was different.

I thought I could trust you.

Stop.

Get up.

Change of plans, darling.

Instead of happily ever after
for us,

it's gonna be
happily ever after for me.

Stop that.

Maybe I have to do something
else that'll hurt, huh?

Yeah?

Go. Up.

Slowly.

Don't.

amara's gps tracker
is back on.

- What?
- She's coming down

- from the mountains toward town.
- She's on the move.

We've got to find her,
we've got to meet up with her.

Stay here. I can handle this.

No, nothing is gonna stop me
from getting my daughter back.

You go, I'll stay here.

It looks like she's up ahead.

this is near shane's
old dog fighting pit.

All right, look,
stay in the car.

I can take care of this,
all right?

Look at me, stay in the car.

If anything goes wrong,
call 911, all right?

I'm not gonna let your daughter
slip away.

who the hell are you?

Ah!

hello, hello, uh...

Shots fired.

I- I think-I think
my friend is hurt.

Please hurry, please.

no, no, no.

No, please.

Leo, leo.

it's okay, it's okay,
it's okay.

leo. Leo!

do you have a minute?

- Yeah.
- Throwing amara's phone

in the back of his truck
was quick thinking.

We're tracking it now.

Looks like they're headed up
into the mountains.

We'll find your daughter.

You should go home and wait.

I'm not going home
without amara.

I'll be at the gallery.

I'm gonna do everything
I can possibly do

to keep your daughter safe.

Please just find her.

they're gone.

They're gone.

hello?

Found amara's phone,
but no amara, no shane.

How is that possible?

I'm sorry. We'll keep looking.

It's okay.

Amara's tough.

It just doesn't feel right.

They just need more time.

They'll find her.

mom, mom!

- Baby!
- Uh-uh-uh, stop right there.

How much will you pay me
to leave

your daughter here
in one piece?

I need fast cash tonight.

Please don't hurt her,
please, please.

Please, I haven't done
anything to-

oh, but you stole my shop.

Yeah, you, and the bank,
and your rich friends,

you rigged the game
so that an honest guy like me

can't make a living.

Okay, please,
I want to help you.

You do?

You know, the night
you won the foreclosure auction,

I got your address
and I paid you a visit.

I watched you sleep.

I thought about hurting you,
touching you,

but I didn't.

And then I watched amara sleep.

No, no. No...

- Shh.
- No!

That changed everything.

You see, I killed
my best friend

because he wanted
to hurt amara,

and I think that makes me
a good man, right?

- Yes! You're a good man.
- I'm a good man?

Oh, but you called the cops
on me, didn't you?

You did!

You would ruin me
just to save

your stupid little paintings.

But you're not gonna take
anything else from me.

No, you owe me,

and if you really love amara
right here...

No, no, no, no!

Shut up! Shut your mouth!

If you love amara, you will
start making some sacrifices.

Please, just stop!

I will pay you,
I'll do anything, just stop!

- You'll pay me?
- Yes!

- You sure?
- Yes!

Now we're talking.

Ahh!

This is the guy you were
counting on to save the day?

Oh, diane, I hope you're not
gonna disappoint me

any more than that.

Oh, look, he's getting up!

This will be fun.

ah!

Baby! It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.

Shh, it's okay,
it's okay, sweetie.

Come on, come on,
it's okay, it's okay.

Baby, come on, come on,
come on.

Come on, come on!

Quick, quick, come on.

you're gonna have
a hell of a story to tell

at grand opening.

diane, are you all right?

Oh my god.

♪ it was summertime,
you made me feel ♪

♪ like nothin' else
I've ever known ♪

how much for the painting?

This one is not for sale.

That's okay.

Probably couldn't afford
it anyway.

So, uh, I guess I owe you
an apology.

Turns out, I was dating
the wrong girl.

She wasn't very kind to you.

Well, we didn't have
anything in common.

So what do you know about art?

I know that you have
a lot to teach me.
