Original subtitles

Pickle, stay here with Abby.

Okay, Mustard.

I'm Pickle, Maddie's Mustard, you're Hot Dog.

You keep Mustard and Pickle together.

Did you find the ball yet?

It's somewhere here in these bushes.

I don't see it.

Well, it's gotta be here somewhere.

Keep looking.

I don't know, I guess it was a bad throw.

I think you're just bad at catching.

Where's Abby?

I don't know, she was just there.

Abigail?!

Abby, no.

- Wait! - Stop!

- Abby, get back here, stop! - Abby!

Abby, come back!

Abby, no, Abby!

Abby, Abby no.

Abby, Abby no.

Morning sis, rough night?

No, I'm just, I'm on deadline for these new drawings

and I just have this block.

I'm sorry, Livy,

but I'm still seeing you for lunch today, right?

Lunch?

Yeah, sorry, at the cemetery, of course.

You know, sometimes I feel like

you make an effort to forget.

No, I just like to celebrate her birth, not her death.

Please don't make me go alone.

Maddie, I would never let you go alone.

Thank you.

Oh, do you have time to pick a flowers?

I've got a pitch with the editor in 20 minutes.

Sure.

Love you.

Love you.

Three women, three different communities,

three different disappearances.

They all were independent, they lived alone.

No history of domestic violence or being stalked.

So what's the connection?

If you just take a look at their hair color,

their eyes, their facial structure even.

I mean, these women could practically be related.

I think we have a serial killer on our hands.

Without bodies, that's a big leap,

to say that this is the work of one man.

I know.

That's why I wanna look into it some more.

I need to interview every person these women knew.

And I need this paper's resources to do it.

This is good, Maddie.

But you were hired to head up local news,

do the weekly community corner column.

Right.

Well, community of course, is why this is important.

If you look at the slide five...

- The map on slide five. - Mmhmm.

All of the communities where these women disappeared from

make a direct line towards ours.

We are right in this killer's path.

It's been one year since the last disappearance,

and I think he's already here

and looking for his next victim.

That's a working theory.

You're a good journalist, Maddie.

But right now the answer's no.

I need you to bring me something more than hair color.

But what if I, uh...?

There's a new park opening on Friday.

Sink your investigative teeth into that.

Sure.

Thank you for your time.

I'll get right on it.

No, no, no.

No please!

No!

Go away, get out of here.

I have my phone, I'm calling the police.

Get out.

911, what's your emergency?

Operator, there's someone in my house,

there's someone in my house.

Please send someone now.

Just stay where you are,

don't unlock the door.

We're dispatching you next to your address.

So, how'd it go?

Damn, I'm sorry.

I thought for sure she would go for it.

And it's such an important story,

I really wanna stop this guy.

Me too.

Well, I got a park opening instead, so.

Oh my God.

Olivia, it's Maddie.

Answer me.

Hey.

Olivia.

Easy on my door.

My sister's in there and she's in trouble, excuse me.

What's going on?

Pickle, are you there?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Oh, thank God she's all right.

I came as soon as I saw the bluebird, what happened?

Someone broke in

when I was getting in the shower.

Got a call, someone with screaming, I guess that was you.

45 minutes ago.

I was out at my other properties.

Did you call the cops?

Yeah, they said they were sending someone.

They could take hours.

How did they get in?

Through the window.

Yeah, we've had a few of those.

You just gotta make sure everything's locked up

extra tight around here.

Maybe you could have bars on the windows, I don't know.

She just could have gotten killed.

Bars, you want extra security

when I'm not even getting my rent?

I told you, I...

You're behind?

I don't get paid again until I turn in my drawings.

I'll help her.

No, you don't have to do that.

Yeah, she kind of does.

Or you'll be out on your ass, sweetie.

Excuse me, don't call her sweetie okay,

especially if you want something from me.

I know that you guys have been through a lot

in your lives.

She didn't say anything,

I just do a deep dive on all my tenants.

But I do need my rent ASAP.

Yeah, I know.

We'll get it to you, okay.

Bye.

That guy is such a creep.

I really don't know why you stay here and put up with that.

Mom always said, "Catch more flies with honey."

Yeah, well, you catch a-hole flies too.

You think it was Todd that broke in here?

Maddie, he is a key, why would he go through the window?

I don't know.

But I think maybe you should move in with me

until he gets some bars on these windows.

No, thank you.

But I need space for work.

My place has plenty of space.

And maybe a change of scenery will help unblock you.

I could use the company.

Do me a favor, come on.

Do you promise not to mother me?

No.

Fine, yeah.

Thank you.

I'm really glad we went today to the cemetery.

Didn't realize how lucky I am.

So, you know that article I pitched my editor?

Yeah, about the disappearances?

Yeah.

Well, I didn't wanna tell you this

because I didn't want you to worry,

but I think that whoever's responsible

might be here in Atlanta.

Look, you fit the profile, right,

late 20s, blonde, single.

No, no, I'm not gonna let you do this.

Do what?

I'm not gonna live my life

thinking every person I meet is a monster.

Livy, you have to understand, I can't lose you too.

You are not going to lose me.

Have you ever thought about taking a self-defense class?

I already know to stick my fingers in someone's eyes

and then throw a knee in their crotch.

There's a lot more than that.

Please, for me.

Can we just take a couple of classes?

I promise it'll be painless.

Of course.

Thank you.

Welcome to Women's Self-Defense Intensive.

My name is Haden, and I'll be your self defense instructor.

Now, in this class, you're gonna learn verbal strategies,

situational awareness, assault prevention

and physical assailant defense.

I'm gonna arm you with the tools to fight back, okay.

All right, what is your name?

Right here in front.

Olivia.

Olivia, great, can you come on up and help me please?

Go on.

Come on, I'm not gonna hurt you.

Okay.

All right, Olivia,

have you ever taken a self defense class before?

- Nope. - Okay.

Well, why did you sign up for my class?

My sister, Maddie, wanted me to.

I had a break in.

Oh, okay.

Well go on.

Look, we need to be more open about these experiences, okay.

Because you could also help somebody here in this classroom

by sharing with us.

Well, I had someone break into my house,

and I managed to lock myself in the bathroom,

so he actually didn't touch me.

Well, that's good.

But what if you did get in,

what would you have been able to do?

Rule number one, when there is a threat,

you do not hesitate, you act.

You strike, you strike first and you strike hard.

You do not let them take the advantage.

And then you do whatever it is that you have to do

to get away.

You pull hair, you gouge eyes.

And as much as it pains me to say this,

you kick him in the crotch, okay.

All right, well, we're actually gonna

do a little demonstration here,

and Olivia is going to actually knee me in the groin, okay.

All right, don't worry, I have some pads

and I'm a professional, so, I've done this before.

It's okay.

Now, I can't put my arm around you,

so you put yours around me.

Just go ahead, put 'em around me.

There you go.

And I'm gonna just hold my hands down here.

- Okay. - All right.

Look at me.

When you're ready, just knee him in the crotch, okay.

On you, ready?

Go.

Again.

That's it, go.

All right, one more.

Nice, all right.

Great job.

Let's give Olivia a hand.

Okay, you can have a seat.

Okay.

We'll have a next volunteer.

Yeah, thank you.

Okay, like we just did.

Geez, you're really getting into this.

I know.

I've got some new ideas for the book too.

Well, look at that.

You've been inspired.

Just like I said.

I don't know, I think it's just the adrenaline.

You gotta gimme some pointers now.

Maybe.

You like him?

Who?

Haden, from self defense.

He is very attractive, Maddie.

He's our instructor, Olivia.

Yeah, but even if he wasn't and I met him out in the wild,

you'd still find something wrong with him, right?

Well, just want you to be careful, that's all.

Yeah.

I know.

Yeah, come in.

Hey, Kyle.

Hey, Maddie.

I'm not bothering you, am I?

No, you just, come on in.

Mi casais your casa too.

There you go.

Sorry about the... everything.

What's up?

So, I know Rachel didn't approve the article,

but I'm not giving up.

Good for you.

What do you need from me?

Really?

I mean, I know without her green lighting something,

it could kinda put you in an awkward position.

Well, the fact is, this story could save a life.

Besides, I get a lunch hour.

Awesome, okay.

So, I need some background on two names.

The first one is Todd Young, he is a local property manager

from the Lakewood area.

I need a list of all of his properties.

To see if they connect to the towns

where those women went missing.

Exactly.

And the second is, Haden Carmichael.

He's a self defense instructor,

but that's kinda all I know about him.

Okay.

That's gonna cast a pretty wide net.

I'm gonna need more info to really narrow down that search.

Yeah, sorry.

I mean, you know, I did a basic search on him,

and I really came up with close to nothing.

In this day and age, Maddie,

if someone doesn't have any kind of digital footprint,

there's a reason for it.

Usually it's something they're trying to hide.

Yeah, it's what I'm afraid of.

Hey there, Teach.

Hey.

Oh, Maddie, you're alone.

Did I scare your sister off already?

No, she's meeting us here later.

I came straight from work.

Okay, good.

You need a hand?

Yeah, you can grab those gloves over there.

Sure.

So how'd you get involved in all this self defense stuff?

Well, friend of mine was attacked,

so I decided never again.

How noble.

Yeah.

So where are you from?

The Midwest.

Upper Midwest like Michigan, or lower like Oklahoma.

What are you, a cop?

No, reporter.

Sorry, all the inquisitiveness

kinda comes with the position.

And don't worry, Haden, she's no Woodward or Bernstein,

she just writes local puff pieces to make people smile.

Right, Maddie?

Right.

You know, we should do an article on you and the class.

Get the word out, increase those numbers.

Ah you know, I appreciate the offer,

but I'm really a very private person, so, no thank you.

Well, if the goal is to protect as many women as possible.

Maddie, I think he said no, let's quit being pushy.

No, it's okay.

Your sister's just doing what reporters do.

Oh, I need to start the class.

Chill.

In most attack scenarios,

you're gonna be facing an assailant

who is bigger than you and stronger than you.

But don't worry, there's some very simple techniques

that require no strength at all.

Maddie, can you come help me today?

Sure.

Okay, in this scenario, you're gonna be the aggressor.

So you're just gonna reach out, you're gonna grab my wrist.

Go ahead.

All right, see that?

Once they're down here, you're in control.

Even the biggest, strongest man will be begging for mercy.

All right, listen,

when we're out there working on our techniques,

I need you guys to understand the pain

that is caused with this movement.

Right, you need to learn to accept it.

You need to embrace it.

All right, let's get up, pair up and warm up.

Here, let me help you up.

Gosh, I am so sorry.

I guess I don't know my own strength.

Let me see that.

Yeah, you're gonna be okay though.

If I wanted to hurt you, would've been easy.

All right, gather around.

So just make sure you're right there.

You gotta maintain that position

so you don't hurt your wrist, okay.

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.

Cool.

Well, there she is.

Have you forgiven me yet?

Oh, yeah.

Just like you said, the bumps and bruises

are just part for the course, right?

Ready?

Oh, Haden and I, were actually gonna go grab a bite.

But we had plans.

Dinner and a movie at your house are not plans.

You can do that anytime.

Do you wanna come?

Yeah, come on.

You should come along, Maddie.

Who's that?

You know what?

I appreciate the offer,

but I have to go work on this article.

Oh, article.

Well, suit yourself.

Should we go?

Yeah, I'm good.

Love you.

Love you.

Maddie.

Jack?

Yeah.

You look just like a picture.

So do you.

Better even.

♪ You can't tell me how to live my life ♪

You ready for another?

♪ I may be young but I made up my mind ♪

♪ I got this feeling bottled inside of me ♪

♪ I see you looking, do you like what you see ♪

♪ Do want that, do you need that ♪

♪ Well this is your chance ♪

♪ I'll let you touch me and undress me ♪

♪ We can do anything ♪

♪ Oh ♪

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

It's just me, it's okay.

What the hell is going on?

Oh, Haden is just cleaning up.

Why is he covered in blood?

Well, it's not our blood

if that's what has you're so spooked.

No.

After class we went to the store

and got some food and wine for a picnic.

Yeah, there's this magical spot I wanted to take her to,

but, you know, it's a little off the beaten path.

Yeah and we just laid in the grass

and looked at the stars.

We just talked, or I just talked really.

I loved hearing about your life, it's incredible.

What is the blood from?

Well, I mean, when we realized how late it was,

I rushed in order to get her back home to you.

And that's why we had a deer.

Actually, it's a buck.

It's a buck.

Yeah, yeah.

Then I didn't want it to go to waste,

so I hauled it into my truck and, you know, here you go.

Instead of leaving it in the grass, like nature intended.

Well, I mean, I thrive on living off the land, so.

Haden likes to commune with nature.

Yeah, I mean, nature gave me this gift,

and so it's my responsibility.

Isn't that amazing?

- Well. - Yeah.

It's late.

But thank you for letting me clean up.

Yeah, of course.

I had incredible time with you tonight.

And thank you, Maddie,

for letting me spend time with your amazing sister.

You're welcome.

Goodnight.

Night.

You went hiking in the middle of the night

with a man you hardly know.

I know.

It was so exhilarating.

What did I tell you, Olivia?

No hikes, no cruises.

It's not like I disappeared.

He watched over me the entire time.

And he didn't even try to kiss me.

He was the perfect gentleman.

Yeah, I bet.

And how was your date?

I didn't have a date.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I guess they don't call it a date on seekanddate.com.

Who's Jack?

Stop trying to change the subject, okay.

Are you gonna see him again?

If he asks, definitely.

Well, did you find out anything about him,

where he came from, does he have family, friends?

Because I'd like to know.

Well, what did you find out about Jack?

Does he have friends, family?

I'd like to know.

Goodnight.

I need to know

what you found out about the truck.

Not much.

I sent in a request for any violations against it,

but there's only so much I can do with just a truck.

What else do you need?

Passport, driver's license, credit card,

anything with his full name on it?

Sure, I think I can do that.

Oh, do you want to know

what I found out about your sister's landlord, Todd Young?

Of course.

Well, besides Lakewood, he has properties all over,

including Perryman.

Howarden?

Not that's in the public record.

Well, two outta three ain't bad,

but that's nothing definitive.

What is it?

Well, both these men are in my sister's life,

and I don't know how to protect her,

other than locking her away.

And she probably wouldn't like that very much, so.

We're gonna figure this out, no matter what it takes.

Yeah.

You're the best, Kyle, thank you, really.

Yeah, Jeff, you're killing it.

Again, good.

Five more.

Good, good, good form.

Nice and slow on the way down.

Good.

Again.

Nice.

Pull through your lats here.

Nice work, nice work.

Keep going, keep going.

Nice.

Extend it all the way out, back, good.

Nice work, Jeff.

Go, go.

Add more, come on, come on.

All right, listen.

You switch over to the left side, okay.

I'm gonna go answer that.

Yeah, I'll be right back.

Maddie.

Oh, hey.

What are you doing in here?

I just slipped in.

I didn't wanna interrupt you.

Yeah, well, you kinda did.

Oh, well, I thought I left a sweatshirt here

after last time and thought, maybe it was in lost and found.

Yeah, well, that's not the lost and found

and nothing was left after the last class.

Oh shoot.

It was my favorite.

I always do that.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry again for the interruption,

and I will see you later.

And so then she pops out from the back seat

where she'd been hiding.

What?

And says, "This isn't the movies."

No, we can laugh about it now, but I loved that boy.

Oh God.

I just, I don't even know.

There's so much that I wanna say right now,

but I just can't.

No, what is it?

No, no, no, I am not gonna add some family drama

between you and your sister.

No, I am giving you a pass.

That's why I told you that story,

I know she can be difficult.

Okay.

You're not gonna like it.

I ran into your sister today.

Yeah, at the studio, in the back.

What?

Like rummaging through my stuff.

And she gave me some like ridiculous story

that she like lost a hoodie or something.

And at the time I thought, oh okay,

But now that you tell me this, I realized, no, no,

she does this to everybody.

I'm sorry, that she's checking on you like that.

There's no excuse, but she...

What?

There's a history.

A history?

Can't believe I'm telling you this right now.

Maddie and I used to have a sister, Abigail.

Had a sister?

When we were younger,

our mom used to leave us with her a lot to watch her.

We'd, you know, go to the playground.

Maddie wandered away for a second and I wasn't looking.

And then, you know, she was just gone.

What do you mean "gone"?

Someone took her.

But we go to her grave every year

and Maddie and I just went,

so I'm sure she's just a little extra protective right now.

I'm so sorry.

I know that that's a lot.

That's why I usually save that for the third date.

I don't know what to say, just...

It's okay if you wanna take me home now.

Take you home?

You just shared an incredibly personal story.

I mean, I don't want to take you home,

I want to hear more of your stories.

It helps me understand who you are

and what you've been through, you and your sister.

And it's a lot.

Thank you.

And now I understand.

I understand why she's doing what she's doing right now.

What do you mean?

No, no, no, no, no, don't.

Don't, don't.

She's spying on us.

No, no.

She was spying on us, but we're alone now, so.

That's what you think.

No, just let her go okay.

Let her go away from here

and then you and I will go somewhere else.

We'll go somewhere that she can't find us, okay.

And we'll stay up all night

and you can tell me all of your stories

and we go hide somewhere away from the dangers

of this crazy world.

That sounds nice.

I'll take care of you.

You're up.

Yeah, of course I'm up.

I've been waiting for you all night.

You know I was with Haden.

I know he's hiding something.

Kyle from work agrees with me.

It's really weird

that there's nothing about him online, Olivia.

And I know there is a killer on the loose.

You sound totally paranoid right now.

Hey, I just asked you for a couple of days.

I wanted to check up on a few things.

You mean break into his studio

and spy on us while we're having dinner?

I didn't break in.

And I went to that restaurant to make sure you were safe.

He makes me feel safe, Maddie.

I don't trust him.

Okay.

It's time for me to move home.

What?

Todd called, they caught the guy that broke in

and they're going to put bars on my windows.

Yeah, right.

I don't trust that guy either.

That's your problem, Maddie.

You don't trust anybody.

Do you ever ask yourself why that is?

I have my reasons.

You blame me for Abigail.

You blame me for everything, you always have.

I asked you to watch her.

If you thought it was dangerous,

then why did you leave us?

We were just kids.

Did you once say maybe watch out for that car

or that you had a bad feeling?

No.

I've always tried to protect you, both of you.

That's my job.

I love you, Maddie.

But you are not going to bring back Abigail

by trying to stop me from living my life.

Right.

Well, if that's how you feel, then I guess you should go.

Okay, packing now.

Fine!

What are these for?

What are you doing with these?

Maybe I'm planning on stealing you away.

It's not funny.

It's just a joke.

Oh, come on.

Oh, so that's it, you're just gonna leave.

Afraid so.

Again.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, is anyone there, hello?

Hello?

Can anyone hear me? I'm trapped in the garage.

Somebody help me.

Help me!

I'm trapped in the garage! Hello?

Somebody! anybody.

I'm in the garage, hello.

I'm trapped in the garage, help.

Can somebody help me.

Can anyone hear me, hello?

Hello?

Maddie!

Maddie.

Maddie, you okay?

Maddie.

Hold on, Maddie, I got you.

There you go.

Someone tried to kill me.

Someone stole my keys and locked me in the garage

with the car on.

Luckily my neighbor, Henry,

he heard me and he dragged me out.

We checked,

there's no evidence anyone broke into your house.

And Henry said the door came right open.

I told you they were all damn shut.

Any idea who would do such a thing?

I was out earlier this evening

and maybe someone followed me home.

Out where?

Park Sports Bar.

Well were you drinking?

I wasn't drunk.

You left your purse in the car.

No, I didn't.

I don't know how it got there.

I told you someone put it there.

And locked you in the garage?

Yes.

Has there been any unusual stress

or trauma in your life lately?

What does that have to do with anything?

I'm just wondering if you've been experiencing

any depression or dark thoughts.

You think, I tried to kill myself.

I'm trying to tell you, someone tried to kill me.

You're the police, do something.

Maddie, are you okay?

I suggest you come to the station in the morning

and tell your story to a detective,

if that's what you wanna do.

Thank you.

You okay?

What's he doing here?

He drove me.

I was too upset to drive.

Where's he been all night?

What? He was next to me, he was in bed with me

when I got the call.

No.

What?

Come on, I'm just so happy you're okay.

How are you feeling?

Just a little headache.

That's good.

That is, just a little one.

So when do you wanna go down to the police station?

I don't know.

You don't know?

No.

You said someone tried to kill you last night.

They did, but the cops don't believe me, so.

So make them.

I shouldn't have to convince you to do this.

Unless.

Olivia, I didn't try to hurt myself.

I know how this looks, okay.

And I wanna apologize to you for all of the accusations

and the crazy behavior.

Maybe it's time you put this article to rest.

Hey, I have an idea.

How about, to say sorry, I make you do dinner tonight?

You don't have to do that.

I want to.

Okay, yeah, no, I'd really like that.

Okay.

I'll make your favorite.

This'll be good.

Good.

Ah, this has been truly amazing, Maddie, thank you.

Well, I would do anything for Olivia.

I just wanna see her happy.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

And this has made me really happy, Maddie, thank you.

So have you two thought about the future?

Actually, yeah.

Well?

A little house in the country,

somewhere we can see the stars every night.

Live off the land, you know, commune with nature.

Were you raised in the country?

Yeah.

Yeah, I was.

And where was that?

Maddie.

Sorry, promised I wouldn't play a reporter tonight.

Just wanna get to know the man my sister loves.

No, look, it's fine, she's right.

I'll warn you though, I'm not really comfortable

talking about myself, so.

Well, that's fair enough.

Yeah.

How about we finish off this wine?

Okay.

Thank you.

Here you go.

You two look so cute.

Get together for a picture for you.

Yeah.

All right, best smiles, only please.

Aw, cute, cute, cute.

It's a keeper.

She sure is.

Cheers to love.

To love.

Cheers.

You don't have to do that.

Dinner was so delicious.

The least I can do is help you with the dishes.

You're beautiful.

See, it's not so bad, right?

No, I guess not.

Thank you.

Oh.

What's that?

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see it there.

Did you do that on purpose?

What?

I can pay for repairs or get you a new one?

I mean...

No, why would you do that on purpose?

Haden, would you mind waiting in the truck?

I think I need to talk to my sister for a minute.

Yeah.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

I'll be outside.

Olivia, there are still.

Please let me talk.

I love Haden, Maddie.

You just met him.

I know that.

I understand that.

And that's why we're not rushing off to get married.

But do you realize you've done this

with every man I've ever been interested in?

And I appreciate it, I understand why you do it.

But I really care about him, Maddie.

You have to let me figure this out for myself

without interfering.

Can you do that?

I just need you to trust me to make this decision on my own.

Okay.

Thank you.

But you know, there is something

that I just still don't know about him,

it's just driving me crazy.

You're unbelievable.

Olivia, wait.

No.

Olivia, Olivia wait.

We still don't know where he's from.

And even Kyle can't find a trace of him online.

And he could have snuck over here last night

and stolen my key from my purse.

Olivia.

Olivia, wait.

Olivia.

Look, I wanna get this guy too,

but there's nothing I can do to save this.

What?

But I need those photos for the facial recognition software.

Shh, shh, quiet.

What can we do?

Okay, when you back up your files,

do you do it automatically or is it scheduled?

I don't know.

You could get lucky.

If your settings aren't automatic,

then your pictures should be in the cloud.

Okay, well, do you think we can get 'em?

Here, I'll show you how to log in and check.

Yes.

Hello.

Is anybody here?

Hello?

Maddie.

What the...?

Got you, you bastard.

Hey, Kyle.

You here?

Hello.

Ms. McIntyre, I am Detective Willet

My partner will be here in just a second.

But we can go ahead and get started.

You want to tell me what happened?

I came here to meet Kyle.

And when I got here, I found him like that.

I didn't see anyone else in the building.

Did you check the security cameras?

Someone tamped with the breaker box,

footage was cut off roughly half hour before Kyle's death.

What were you two doing in here after hours?

We were.

Sorry for the delay.

I was just wrapping up with your boss.

Miss. McIntyre, my partner, Detective Houston.

Okay, Miss. McIntyre,

please tell us why you two were in there tonight.

We were working on an article.

We were investigating a story.

Kyle told me that he had found something

and asked me to come over.

What was the article about?

We were connecting the disappearances of three women

to a single perpetrator.

It's all on the computers.

His hard drive was wiped clean.

What?

Our IT specialists are gonna try and recover it.

Well, it's obvious that the killer did all this.

They wiped the drives clean

and they mess with the security cameras.

Before we go any further,

would you like to have lawyer present?

Why?

I didn't kill him.

Whoever did this was the same person

that tried to kill me two nights ago.

Someone tried to kill you, two nights ago?

And there's record of this?

Yeah, an officer came by my house.

I'm not sure how much she put in the actual report.

She said I needed to come down to the station

and talk to a detective.

And did you do that?

No.

Why not?

I just thought I could handle it myself.

So let me get this straight,

someone tried to kill you

and you didn't follow up with the department?

I followed up with Kyle.

We were honing in on a few subjects, we were close.

Whoever did this was the same person

who murdered those women.

It's the same person who tried to kill me.

Do you have any names?

Todd Young and Haden Carmichael.

Can I go now?

Sure.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

What do you mean?

You asked her to lawyer up?

She seemed shook up, I thought it would help.

Just trying to figure things out.

Yeah, over here.

Oh, excuse me.

Maddie.

I don't know what to say.

It's horrible.

It's just horrible.

I know.

I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.

This is why we're in this situation.

You doing a job that no one asked you to do.

But I'm getting closer to finding the killer.

You need to stop.

Just stop.

A man is dead because you wouldn't listen to me.

I can't do this with you anymore.

I'm sorry.

Are you firing me?

You turned our offices into a crime scene.

You and Kyle were sneaking around operating behind my back.

Even if this hadn't happened, your work as a reporter

has been completely unreliable.

So, yes, I'm firing you.

I'm sorry, Rachel.

Save your apologies for his parents.

Yes.

Detective Willett, Detective Houston, Atlanta Metro.

A Haden Carmichael live here?

Yeah, that's me.

How can I help you?

Is this about Maddie?

She's my sister.

She failed to mention that in our interview.

Interview?

Do you know a Kyle Johnson?

I don't, never heard that name.

He was a colleague of your sister's.

He was murdered last night.

That's terrible.

Whatever we can do to help you guys.

Actually, your name came up.

What do you mean?

She said she was investigating you

in connection with some missing women.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Where were you last night?

He was here with me.

All night?

All night.

Any ideas as to why her sister would accuse you

of being a killer?

Listen, you have to understand, I love my sister to death,

but she gets a little crazy overprotective.

And for whatever reason, she just has it in her head

that she has to protect me from Haden and everybody.

All right.

Yeah.

Is your name Jack?

Yeah, from the Seek And Date app.

Did you ever end up hooking up with my sister?

We'll be in touch.

You were messing around with a suspect, Jack?

What the heck?

I screwed up.

Big time, Jack. Big time.

When were you going to tell me about this?

I messed up, I was gonna tell you.

What are we gonna do, babe?

I don't know.

Yeah, I do, I just don't want to say it.

Then don't please.

Come on.

Look, sometimes you just have to cut toxic people

outta your life, you know that.

She's my sister, Haden.

Yes.

And she's never gonna stop.

I know.

She's all I have, right?

Hey, hey, that is not true, okay, you have me.

Crazy thought.

What if we leave town, hmm?

Just get away from all the chaos.

Where would we go?

I have the perfect spot.

It's about two hours South of here,

just pass Vidalia, in the low country.

It's the running water?

Yeah.

And electricity too.

You're gonna love it, it's beautiful, paradise.

When?

Now.

What do you say?

Now?

Now?

Yeah.

- Yeah. - Great.

I'll go pack.

Perfect, just hurry up,

I'd love to get on the road.

Yeah, I'll be quick, I'm just gonna take a quick shower.

Great, I'm gonna change and load up the truck.

Where's your partner?

She doesn't know I'm here.

Can I come in?

Are you gonna interrogate me some more?

No.

Okay.

So did you find the killer yet?

I'm off the case.

In fact, I'm on administrative leave.

Because of me?

No, because of me.

When I saw you last night, I didn't know what to do.

My first thought was to protect you.

Well, isn't that your job?

No, I mean really protect you from what's about to happen.

What do you mean?

I mean, everybody has an alibi, but you,

This guy Todd, it turns out he was out of town

visiting family.

And Haden, your sister says he was with her all night.

She's lying.

Kyle told me that he found something.

Well, we can't prove that.

What we can prove is the murder weapon

has your fingerprints on it.

Of course it has my fingerprints on it,

it's my pair of scissors.

You see the problem.

This is crazy.

You know he's setting me up.

I believe you.

That's why I'm here.

To tell you to get yourself a good lawyer

and don't say another word to the police.

Okay.

Thanks.

Hey.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you think?

What the?

Hey, hey, big boy.

Come here.

Hey, come here!

Big boy, did you do this?

Do what?

Throw these in the trash.

This is Olivia's phone and charger, right?

I don't know, I mean, what does it matter?

You need to properly dispose of your used electronics.

The city's really cracking down, I could get fined.

You know what?

You're right, it probably was me.

I'll take this from you and won't happen again.

Sorry about that.

Great, thank you.

Olivia tells me you guys are going on a trip,

down South past Vidalia in the low country.

When did you tell you that?

Oh, just a few minutes ago, ran into her out front.

Anyways, drive safe.

Always.

Now what?

Hey.

What do you need?

I didn't get the name of the place

where I can recycle, donate these.

I was wondering, maybe you have a phone number?

I sure do.

Come on in, I gotta get my phone.

What was the name of that place?

Found it.

Huh.

I guess that's everything.

Okay, great, you ready to go?

Yes, I just have to say goodbye to Todd.

No, no, I just did.

- Okay. - Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Trust me, you're gonna love it so much,

you're never gonna wanna leave.

- All right, let's go. - Okay?

Yes, hi, I'm trying to find out

if Jennifer Richards ever took a self-defense class.

Hi, did your friend ever take TaeKwonDo or self-defense?

Did your niece know how to fight back?

You happen to know the name of the instructor?

No, I don't know that name.

You know I have a photo.

Can I text it to you,

and you can get back to me if you recognize him?

Beautiful country, isn't it?

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's my phone.

What about it?

Could have sworn I put it in my purse with my charger.

Yeah, you're not gonna need your phone.

What if something happens to my sister?

Oh, I am sure we will hear all about it when we get back.

Besides we talked about this, you know,

we can't keep putting up with her crap.

I think we should go back.

Oh, geez enough all right, enough about the phone.

You see this is why I don't have one of those.

'Cause people are addicted.

You're addicted to your electronic garbage.

Yeah, so let's just not talk about it anymore, okay.

I'm sure it's gonna turn up right.

You know, even if you left it behind,

is being disconnected for a couple days such a bad thing?

Hey, come here.

I'm sorry, all right, I'm sorry.

I get very passionate.

I just wanna be with you.

Hi, I'm just trying to find out some more about Haden,

maybe where he came from.

Did he ever mention anything, when he started at the studio,

about where he might have taught before?

Well, that's none of my business, ma'am.

And I don't really see what it matters.

Well, it matters because.

Besides,

he doesn't teach there anymore anyway.

He's not teaching at the studio anymore?

Apparently not.

Well, did he quit?

No, ma'am.

Closed his lease, said he was leaving town.

He's leaving town?

Yep.

Said I wouldn't see him again anytime soon.

All right.

Do you mind if you leave me the car keys,

like to listen to some music?

I think you should come in,

pick out some snacks,

food you might want the next couple days.

Honestly, I'm fine.

Whatever you get, I'm good with.

I'd like you to come in.

Okay.

Why would you need to bring that into the store?

To protect you.

Haven't you heard,

the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun,

is a good guy with a gun.

Let's go.

Hey there.

Hi.

Let me know if I can help you find anything.

Thank you.

You good people passing through or staying nearby?

Nearby, I think, Haden right?

Yeah, nearby.

Hey, I know you.

David, right?

It's good to see you again.

What's it been about a year, huh?

Yeah, yeah about that.

How are those rentals coming along?

Fine.

Good.

You still have a lot left to do?

No, almost done.

Do you have restrooms?

Right back through there ma'am.

Hey, can't you hold it?

It's a long drive.

It's back there.

Hi, this is Maddie.

Hey Maddie, my name is Damon Cohen.

I heard you were trying to reach me

because you wanted to talk about Michelle Martin.

Yes, yes I did.

See you soon.

You ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

"Please help.

"Call my sister, Maddie."

Todd.

Todd.

Hey, you here?

Hello, anybody home?

Hello.

911, what's the emergency?

Hello, is anybody there?

Hello.

Maddie?

Yeah, who is this?

Name's Charles.

Your sister slipped me a note with your number on it

and looks like a bird or something.

Okay, where are you?

The country store on Highway 29 in Vidalia.

Pretty amazing, huh?

Yeah.

How'd you find it?

I stumbled upon it about five years ago.

There's really no one around.

No, this is our place.

No one nearby.

Wait 'til I show you the inside.

Okay, I know this might sound strange.

But I always wanted to do this.

Can I carry you across the threshold?

Yeah, right.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Ready? - Yeah.

Yeah, that was a good one.

Olivia.

There's no where to run, Olivia.

Hey sweetheart.

You know, it's time you stop this.

And we start having a good time 'cause this is our new home.

This is not my home.

Put it down.

No, let me go.

I wanna go home.

You're home baby.

Now come inside and stop this nonsense.

Haden's real name is Michael Dunning.

He was accused of killing his wife six years ago,

but the case was thrown out due to bad evidence.

You should be giving this information to your lawyer.

So he needed a fresh start.

He goes down to Howarden, where he meets Michelle,

his first victim at a local gym.

That is confirmed.

Okay, all right.

I think you should stay up here

until you learn how to behave yourself okay.

I love you.

No, no, no!

Please no, please no, please!

He thought he was in the clear.

But people started finding out who he was, his history.

And that's when he knew he needed to change his name

because it is way too easy

to do a background check on people these days.

Oh my God.

About a year later he turns up in Perryman,

around the same time

of the disappearance of Jennifer Richards.

Three women, three disappearances,

three communities.

And now my sister is the fourth.

My gosh.

This man is a monster.

You should call Willett.

I don't have time for that.

I've already lost one sister,

I'm not gonna lose another one.

Where are you?

On Highway 29, heading into Vidalia.

Olivia slipped the clerk a postcard.

I know she's in trouble.

Don't try to talk me out of it, okay.

Maddie, you... Maddie?

Charles.

You Maddie?

Yeah, I am.

I've seen this guy before.

He's doing some work up on the old Carter Mansion.

It's about 12 miles off the highway.

Now, you're gonna have to take the old road,

it's grown over but you can still drive it.

That looks like it takes me right up to the front.

Is there another way?

You could turn here on Larder Lane

and that'll take you in from the side.

Just take that map with you.

Hey, and here's that note.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hello.

Oh, there you are.

I brought you a little gift.

And I also made us a really nice dinner

and I was kind of hoping that we can just get past

all the ugliness from earlier, start enjoying ourselves.

That be best.

So why don't you get dressed

and I'll come back and get you in a little bit.

Everything you see is from the forest,

the mushrooms, the greens, the protein.

It's all from right here.

I hope you like it.

Oh, a toast.

To our first dinner in our new home.

Not our last.

So, I've been meaning to ask you,

boys or girls?

Kids, do you wanna have boys or girls?

Either way, I know you're gonna make the perfect mother.

I've known it from the moment I saw you.

Do you hear that?

Well I did.

I'll check on that.

You can put your knife back though.

You're not gonna need it while I'm gone.

You.

This is why I like you so much.

You're a fighter.

That's why you are my special girl.

And don't even think about running away,

'cause if you do, I'll come after you again.

Except this time, I won't be so nice.

You know, use your fork.

Maddie?

- We have to go. - Oh my God.

Come on let's go.

He's gonna kill us, Maddie.

Where do you think you're going?

Nice.

Here's something I haven't taught you yet.

No, no, no.

No, no.

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

Baby, no.

It's okay.

Baby, no, please no.

No, no.

Oh, please no.

No, no, no!

Quiet, quiet, you have to be quiet.

Where are they?

I don't know.

Are you all right?

No, no, no.

No.

No.

No.

No.

You come with me, come on, come on.

No.

Hey.

You.

This whole thing is on you.

Olivia and I, we just wanted to start a life together.

But you, you had to interfere, didn't you?

That's.

Shh, the only thing out of your mouth right now

should be an apology.

It always ends the same for you, doesn't it, Michael?

Michael died.

He doesn't exist anymore.

Oh but his story does.

And it seems like you like to replay it

over and over again, don't you?

Listen,

when I fall in love, I bring 'em here, our home

and I try to make them understand

that we can build a new world.

We have everything we need right here.

Screw you.

Let it out.

Let it out.

No one, no one can hear you scream.

Shh, shh.

The gun.

You know what?

Yeah.

Maybe you and I and Olivia,

maybe we can get past our differences.

Yeah, I see it.

You both can bear my children.

I can love you both.

Big mistake.

Okay, I got you, I got you.

There you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh my God.

So in a strange, sad, bittersweet way,

the trauma of losing my sister Abigail so long ago,

prepared me to fight the danger

that came to destroy our community and our lives

these many years later.

I'm just grateful I've been able to make a difference

through my investigative work

and by learning to trust my instinct.

So, this guy literally sends us a selfie

because he thought the mugshot,

we released to the public, was unflattering.

Wait, so what did you do?

Oh, we were able to pick him up within the hour.

Did you guys hear about the body

that was found over in Madison?

Couple of the details line up

with a John Doe from a case up in Knoxville.

Hey.

Wait, where are you going?

No.

I've already got a working theory.

Nope.
