Paris, you got it?

- Yeah. Sorry. - Come on, man.

Is it gonna give? Don't look like it.

Nah. I wouldn't have even seen it if the water weren't this shallow.

Where's it headin'?

It's way far. I'll lose it.

It's out by Hog Wallow at least.

Man, leave it.

No way we pullin' all this pipe today.

Come on, man.

Water stays this low, we're gonna keep finding shit like this.

Kid, I'm heading up.

All right.

Back when they first started drilling.

It'll probably take you both some time to clear it out.

Yes, sir. Don't know how far it goes yet.

You headed to old Billy's funeral?

Yeah, the whole town'll be there.

I'll see you there.

Thank you, Zed. I appreciate you.

I'm gonna head on out.

See ya, Zed.

That aggravates the hell out of me.

They been messing with the lake too long with that dam.

Thing never should have existed in the first place,

it ain't natural.

I'm just gonna drop you off, all right?

What? You change your mind?

A lot of these folks ain't seen you in years, Paris,

since your mother's funeral.

It'd do 'em good to see you up on your feet.

She may not even be there.

Come on, that's like... It's a long drive from Houston.

Don't think she wants to see me, Dad.

I'm just gonna drop you.

Well, you ain't gotta come back and get me or nothing.

I'll find a way home.

It's Saturday, September 24th.

Four o'clock on the dot.

Yeah, and I got a doctor's appointment tomorrow,

so I'll be at Gemini in the afternoon though.

Got you.

I'll see you there.

Take this off...

Oh, I got it.

- You sure? - Mm-hmm.

- Do you know where it goes? - Yeah, I know where it goes.

Okay, I'll time you. Ready? Go.

Uh, twelve dollars and ten cents.

Are you gonna sleep at home tonight?

Maybe. I dunno.

Are you going to Claire's?

Then why can't you come home?

Claire's just... just closer to school.

But you've been gone for a month.

Mimi doesn't care about the plates anymore.

You don't gotta fight with her.

She's my mom. I'm allowed to be in a fight with her.

And why? Did she say something to you?

Yeah. She said that you're real difficult.

She said since you were like, a little baby,

like one years old, that you were always really difficult.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Well, she's an ass.

Ellie, she's your mom!

So, in school, we learned about all the places on Caddo.

Like over 200 that have names

that the Native Americans named it

way before we came here.

Like even before you were born.

Oh, hi, Saphire!

Hi, Anna!

Saphire told our whole class

that she saw wolves yesterday.

But Miss Henderson told us that's not possible

because they don't live here anymore.

- Too shallow? - Too shallow.

- Here, you want to drive? - Yeah, I want to drive.

- Yeah? - Yes.

Okay.

- Just stay in the middle. - I know.

Carter's Chute's coming up on the left.

I know.

All right.

Get your hand out of your mouth.

- Stop it. - What?

- Come say hi. - I gotta tie up.

Can you tell 'em we didn't have enough for milk?

Sure.

- Anna, Anna! - Hi, Lizzie!

Look at its guts.

Don't touch it. Move. Back up.

- It ate half of the scales, too. - Ew!

Look, it's still bleeding.

- Anna, move! Can you back up, please? - Kinda weird.

Just another animal.

It's like perfectly cut.

- Yeah, I think so. - And, it's just a...

- What's her name again? - Ellie.

Who put this here?

Uncle Jason found it on the lake.

Ew. Look at its eye.

- Something ate it. - Like what?

Well, it probably took him out of the water, bit its leg off...

- What are you doing? - Getting rid of this.

Excuse me, Dr. Mitchell. Hey.

Hey, listen. Sorry to, uh, ambush you like this.

I think your front desk stopped putting my calls through to you.

Yeah. I'm sorry, son.

- Paris. - Uh, yeah.

Um, I gave you the name of that specialist in Dallas.

Yeah, I know. No, I talked to him.

He, uh... He wasn't much help,

but, uh, I had these, um, I had these notes from my dad

that he took on my mother's episodes, and there's a lot...

Your mother had a chronic case of myoclonic seizures.

Well, myoclonic patients,

they, uh, they lose consciousness.

Isn't that right?

That can happen in some patients.

About the ears, sir? The bleeding?

I mean, I haven't found a single case of that happening anywhere.

You knew that. I even have a quote from you, too, saying...

It was terrible thing that happened on that bridge.

Your mother knew the risk of driving with her condition.

Just... doesn't make sense, is all.

She hadn't had a seizure in six years, sir, so...

There's a lot about the brain that we don't understand, son.

I know you wish there was something you could have done,

but she just had a seizure at the wrong time.

Listen, if, if... I'll meet with you and your father again,

but on business hours.

You call my office and make an appointment.

But not like this.

Thank you, sir. Sorry.

How long you been waiting?

Not long.

Hey, baby. Hi, Wally.

Oh, that's a good boy.

Sorry I missed the service.

You know, he was a real good grandpa to you.

I'm real sorry. Hey.

- Yeah. - Come here.

I'm going back to Houston tomorrow.

Makes sense.

- So you're driving? - Yep. Driving.

Yeah. Working too.

I'm, uh, working out on the lake.

- On the dam? - Yeah.

Well, the highway over it.

- That's great. - Yeah.

That's really great, Paris.

Haven't touched it.

Lot of the wood's gone bad now.

Is this the living room?

Uh, kitchen.

It's your floor plan.

Well, it's been a while.

What's this?

Kitchen island.

- A kitchen island? - Yeah.

It's... a surprise.

How's pasta sound?

Here, uh, grab me them tomatoes out.

And, uh, the can opener.

Should be right there in the cupboard.

Paris, grab me the can opener.

Where is it?

- It's right there. - Mmm.

Right there in the cupboard to the right.

Think it'd be in a drawer. Not a cupboard.

- Paris, the water's boiling over. Move. - It's a can opener.

Oh, my Lord.

All right, so a pinch of salt, a little bit of oregano,

a little bit of chili flakes...

Oh, my.

Christ.

You've got to try this.

I've outdone myself.

Here.

Well?

That's really good.

I told you.

That's real good.

- Ow. - Why are you so dirty?

Oh, my God, Anna.

Have you been going out by yourself?

- It's from the lake. - What is all this mud shit?

It takes so long to come off.

Yeah, well, you're just not washing it proper.

You really gotta rub as hard as you can.

- Ow. - Here we go.

See?

Oh. How do you do that?

Magic.

Okay, go spit.

Go wash your mouth in the kitchen.

Feels weird.

Dear Jesus, I reckon you've been testing us with this drought here.

But we know there's many folks struggling in ways, uh, greater than ours.

So I pray that you open up the heavens

and, uh, allow our lake and land to thrive once again.

Jesus' name. Amen.

Amen.

What's wrong with you?

Don't leave any leftovers.

I think we can make a canoe outta that.

This wouldn't be much of a drought...

I'm sorry about some of y'all having to eat off of paper plates.

But unfortunately, I don't have enough china ones at the moment.

Yes, go get your food.

Oh, my God! I forgot!

- No, no, no! What? Get that off the table! - Anna!

They're so cool though. Did you want to see?

Yeah, let me...

Keep eating, everybody.

What have you got?

I found them by Goat Island. There were millions of them.

They were just scattered across the water.

- Let me see that. - Aren't they cool?

- You ever see anything like that? - They have fuzzy wings.

You know, there's not many of these left or didn't used to be.

- Really? - These went extinct.

That's crazy, huh?

Yeah, this is a four-eyed moth.

- You see that black spot on its belly? - Mm-hmm.

That's where you can tell.

Where'd you find these?

I was at Bonhard Creek by myself.

You really went all the way up there just to get...

Do you want me to rinse these?

No, it's fine.

Thank you for helping.

I thought you hated these family dinners.

Well, it's not my family.

I'm not related to any of these people.

You're my daughter.

So, you are part of this family. Okay?

I'm on track to graduating a semester early...

...and I just gotta double up on a couple classes.

That's great.

I need your signature and Dad's death certificate

to do it through the state.

Let me just see... Here.

Daniel can sign it.

Well, no, I'm registered as Elizabeth Lang.

So, um, I need somebody with my real last name.

Why are you doing this?

I'm doing it for school.

I thought you'd be happy I'll be gone soon.

Makes no difference if Daniel signs it,

he raised you, Ellie.

Well, yeah, the difference is he's not my real dad.

I don't got his last name.

They don't care about that.

I mean, you got it, right? I looked it up.

If someone's missing, after seven years,

they're assumed dead by the state.

And if it's just got "Lang" on it, then...

We're not gonna talk about your dad anymore, okay?

But it's not really a big deal.

And Daniel and I will sign it.

And if anybody at the school needs to talk to me about it,

I'm happy to talk to 'em. Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

- You done helping? - Yeah.

- Eggshell? Eggshell? - You know it's a good idea.

- Listen... - No, it's the most boring, bland...

I can't believe that you still think this is a good idea.

Can you imagine me at the paint counter?

- I'm like, "Hello. Excuse me." - All right. All right.

"Can I have 50 gallons of the most boring paint

you have on hand?"

You know I ain't actually...

Yeah, I just want to be honest with you.

I wasn't very... healthy,

you know, after the accident.

You were there for me and I just...

I couldn't do it. You know?

And I want to say I'm sorry to you.

I'm done feeling guilty about my mom.

I know you got your life in Houston.

I'm not trying to get in the way of that.

I'm not trying to mess with that, but, uh...

But I'm... I'm here.

Wally, quit it!

I don't know what's going on with him.

He's been doing that all week.

You don't ever have to be over it. I told you that.

I know you did. I...

Listen to me.

What happened is, it's...

It's awful.

She's your mom.

What happened'll always be a part of you.

But it wasn't your fault.

It wasn't your fault.

And you don't ever have to be done grieving your mama.

You just can't push me away again. Okay?

- Okay? - Hmm?

Paris...

I won't.

I won't.

Hey, guess what I found.

I found it in your mom's jewelry box.

Look. Look at it. See?

It's Cancer. It's Mimi's.

- Oh, are you talking about star signs? - Yeah.

- It means she's, like, overprotective... - Great.

...and she likes everyone

and she likes to cook and stuff.

Did you know that Mimi wants to adopt me?

- She said that to you? - Mm-hmm.

And Daddy wants to adopt you.

I heard 'em talking.

What about your real mom? Don't you want to...

go back to Florida and see her?

No, not really. I like it here.

Where's that iPod?

Why is this door locked?

Um, I just... Um, I'm looking for something.

I thought I'd left it in here.

I think he wants you to open the door.

Mm-hmm.

Just tell me what you're looking for. It's fine.

What's this?

- What's going on? - We're just hanging out.

Can you just tell me where it is, Mom?

- Where's what? - All right, you need to go.

That's what you're doing here? You wanted a big scene?

No, I'm not. I'm just looking for my dad's death certificate

- which belongs to me. - You made your point.

You're not related to any of the people here

and you won't put in the effort.

He's my dad. I'm allowed to have...

You're not allowed to be in here!

Can we please discuss this when we don't have a house full of people?

This isn't a big deal. I'll go.

She pushes me into being upset like this.

Ellie, please don't leave. Can you just stay?

- I'll see you at school. - Why right now?

- Right now we've got a... - I'm going!

Jesus. How many beers have you had?

You don't throw any plates on your way out!

- Ellie, please don't leave... - Stay here with me.

Baby, you stay here.

No, Mimi. Please can I go? I really wanna go.

Water's too low if you're taking Carter's Chute.

Yeah, I got it.

It's... Only got a few minutes before it's dark.

Got it.

I know you do. I...

I'm just reminding ya.

It was nice to have you back home again.

All right, come back soon. Come back tomorrow for breakfast.

We'll break out the waffle maker.

All right. I'll hold a chair.

- Drive safe. - Bye.

Hey.

Wally, what are you doing?

Hey!

What are you doing? Hmm?

What are you doing?

Why you gotta be such a scaredy-cat?

What?

Wally, let's go.

Come on. Hey, come on. Let's go.

Yeah, but wolves don't live around here.

Somebody must have let them loose.

Otherwise, how could they just be that far out in the water?

I don't know.

It's just some weird shit.

It's just nature.

I hear weird stuff on the lake all the time.

- Where were they again? - Up by Found Herd.

That's like the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, that's where Anna found those huge moths

right off Goat Island Bridge.

I'm sorry. Um, Trevor is trying to meet me at Legends tonight.

But, uh... I'll just see him tomorrow.

Okay. Good night.

You gonna go home to your family

or are you gonna stay here tomorrow night too?

Uh... I don't know.

Okay.

Night.

Ellie, I need you to pick up your phone.

I've left three messages now. I need you to call us back.

Tell her she needs to bring the skiff back now.

Yes, we need the skiff back here.

Anna's not here. Her boat's gone.

- What's wrong? - Just, um, call me back.

Call back, please.

I don't know. Something about Anna.

Look at you looking all perky today.

You enjoying yourself?

Man, did you have a good night last night?

Boy, you look like you struggling.

Can we get it any closer?

If I pulled up any closer,

we're gonna get stuck.

The funny thing about it is,

this thing used to be all water back.

It used to be really deep.

Now this shit's all land.

It's supposed to rain tonight,

so, tomorrow you'll have a little bit more water to work with.

Should we follow it?

We're not following shit.

You can go ahead and follow it.

You wanna go ahead and walk on through there?

I'll circle around, meet you on the other side.

- Yeah. - You got your walkie, huh?

- Yep. - All right.

Claire's. I was at Claire's.

Why would she have come with me?

You saw me saying bye to her.

Yeah, I'm five minutes away. Just...

Okay! Okay!

Hey, did y'all find anything yet?

I don't know.

Tell Daniel I'm gonna go around Randall Island, all right?

Okay.

Mom?

You heard anything yet?

What? No. Did you get Daniel?

- No. - Go get him. Please!

We need to get out on the water!

How long has she been gone?

Oh, Ellie, please!

The Moors and Brandon ain't seen her.

- Ellie, you get the skiff back? - Yeah.

- I've got pictures. - Jason and Rita ain't home.

You see anything on the water?

No, nothing. Are you sure she took the dinghy?

It's not there, is it?

Give me your keys. Ours ain't on the hook.

No, I don't think she's run away from home.

Come on, come on, come on! Let's go!

Have you called her friends? Like...

- Like Amanda or... or Saphire? - She ain't there.

- Or how about the Reynor kids? - You ain't seen her since last night?

- No. - She call your phone?

- Where'd you dock it? - What?

The skiff, Ellie. It ain't there.

Yeah, it is. I just left it right there.

Anna!

Where'd you dock it?

It was right here. It was right here.

Your brother saw me. I just got home. How else would I have...

- Well, what happened to it? - I don't know!

You best come straight with me, girl.

Don't you lie to me right now.

Someone took it. Someone...

I don't know what happened.

God...

Hey.

I got the end. Leads to an old pump jack.

Hey, you copy?

Paris!

Yeah.

Paris.

- Paris! - Yeah.

Kid, where you been?

Look at all this shit.

I mean, where the hell'd all this stuff come from?

I feel like the current must lead it back here.

Wasn't none of this here before. I swear.

Hey, did you hear that chopper?

There was wolves...

The boat's stuck.

Something's under the motor or something. I can't get to it.

The trim isn't working.

I mean, I don't know, this piece of shit...

We'll try in a sec.

My back, man.

I ain't got time to be dickin' around in this water like this, man.

Kid, did you get it?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're clear. You can start it.

Eighty pounds, okay.

What color is her hair?

- Brown. - Brown hair.

- Um, you know what? I have... - Okay.

Here. Excuse me.

We just got these back. Um...

- So, she looks just like this. - Okay.

Except for a tooth.

Tooth?

Oh, yeah, she just lost her tooth.

Which tooth? Front tooth?

- Right tooth. - Okay.

What was she wearing?

Like, a big hoodie. Her sister, Ellie's.

- Um... - Okay, what color was it?

Karnack East grey.

Hey, folks. Hey, Pastor.

Okay, can we get going now?

Just hang on a second.

We can talk on the lake.

Pastor, I have half the department

organizing the search effort right now.

- Mark... - Okay? From the Parish side.

And we're gonna search the whole lake.

Right now, let's just, everybody just have a seat.

We have some things we need to talk through.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Did you find something?

Uh, no. Listen...

We need to go through...

Okay, look. Just so we can put it behind us,

we need to talk about Celeste's history with Child Protective Services.

Okay, look, I know it was a long time ago.

- I'm sorry? - We just...

But it's just something that's gonna...

I'm sorry. That was so long...

Are you... Really, Mark?

Daniel, we still got two cases on file with Elizabeth.

Yeah, with Ellie years ago!

Closed cases. It's got nothing to do with this.

We need to talk this through.

When we were living in mom's car, I missed some school.

Ellie, please! Celeste didn't do anything to Anna.

All right? Anna was probably following her sister out on the lake.

She's done it before.

But now we got two boats missing. Two!

Now, I sent you the damn pictures of 'em. What are we waiting for?

- We ain't waiting... - Either somebody's taken her, or she's hurt!

Daniel.

Jones, you wanna stay here with Mrs. Bennett?

Yes, sir.

- Hey, hey. - Hey.

What you doing here?

- Why ain't you out on the water? - How'd it go?

- You know, with... - It was fine.

I'm spending way too much time in that damn hospital.

- What's going on? - Nothing.

We, uh, found the end of that GRC pipe today.

It leads to an old pump jack

out in the middle of the forest by Goat Island.

All right.

But why are you here?

I mean, what's going on?

Was looking for the Longview hospital stuff.

Those, uh, those medical records they said they gave to Mom.

Sorry.

Couldn't find 'em.

Because I got rid of all that stuff.

At a certain point, that's it.

- Right? - Yeah.

Yeah.

I still think she was misdiagnosed.

See you tomorrow.

Anna!

Anna!

Anna Bennett!

Anna!

Anna Bennett!

- Anna! - Anna!

Anna!

Water's too shallow.

We're getting stuck here.

It's right up here.

This is it.

I'm gonna find it. Just give me a sec.

Is this where the necklace was?

No, I found it over there.

But here's where the sound dropped out.

Like my ears stopped working.

For some reason, it ain't happening.

Footprints are all covered up, but I swear it was right here.

Put the call out.

We got a positive ID on Anna Bennett's boat here.

- Really? - Jeffrey.

They didn't find anything else?

No, just floating out in the channel.

Not tethered. Just past the old bridge.

And you can dust it for prints, right?

We can. We can, pal.

There's a lab in Dallas we can use.

Now it being wet, it's not ideal.

- But we gotta try. - Sure.

We'll sure try, Pastor. Now the water's so shallow, I think...

Her life jacket's gone.

- Yeah? - Yeah, she's got a life jacket.

Last time we took the boat out, it was here.

It would be here, or...

- It means she's got it on her. - That's good.

- That's a good thing. - What color is it?

It's like a bright orange. It's got her name on it.

Okay, we'll put that out. Orange life jacket.

You wanna call the divers?

Anything else you see missing?

Orange life jacket. Name's Anna.

No.

And it all came back really quick. Sound, all of it.

Then my hand was shaking.

Like her seizures?

Yeah.

I felt her.

- Okay. - I know my mom was out there.

Why would she have been out

in the middle of the lake like that?

I just... It's massive and I just...

- I'm sorry. - I'm fine.

- So, if that's the same... - We don't have to...

No, I don't want to talk about it.

Should take you home. Yeah?

Hey, you remember the last time we were out on a boat?

It was me, you, Ali and Andrew. And we had three boats.

And we got stuck. We could barely get out.

It was a summer drought.

Come on, you don't remember that?

We got stuck in the mud.

- On Jacob's Cross. - When was that?

You don't remember when we got bit up by mosquitos

and I thought I had West Nile for like, a month?

Forgot there was a drought in '99.

Yeah. I'm, uh...

I'm sorry. I know it's all foggy for you around that time.

It's funny you care so much all of a sudden.

What?

Just all that "They ain't my family."

Anna ain't your family?

- It's just strange to me... - Did you hit her?

I have never laid a finger on that child, and you know that.

- I have never, ever. - Fine, okay.

It was you! She was following you out there...

She could've come with me to Claire's, but you didn't let her.

You really wanted her to go to Claire's with you?

Of course, she could come to Claire's.

- She could always... - Know what?

I just need a second. I can't listen to you. I...

Just walk the rest of the way.

Please.

But these three squares right here, this is our area.

We have a team, and we're gonna meet those shortliners

coming from Jackson in a couple of hours.

We have three team leaders.

So, they're gonna grab a dozen per square.

If you have any questions...

'93.

'85.

We gone from here.

From Hog Wallow, all the way to Government Ditch.

Now, I've got five boats got stuck last night.

It took me half the night to get 'em unstuck.

You don't think that's what happened to her?

This ain't water anymore.

This is land that you don't even know about.

You cannot say that you searched the area.

I got a call in to get more water in the dam

to raise the water level so we can get more boats out there.

But with that crack in the dam,

I need approval from Marion County.

Until then, there's nothing else we can do.

She's out there now!

- She is there! - Ellie, Ellie, listen to me.

We got half the town out here looking for her.

Wait, is your daddy here?

I can't have you out on the lake by yourself.

It's too dangerous for anyone. Okay?

Ellie, it's a buddy system.

- What's this? - It's my dad's.

He logged every time my mom had a seizure going back to 1972.

Look at this list here.

'93. My mom had three seizures in '93.

Look what else is happening in '93.

See?

The water level's low, right?

And that drought lasted that whole summer, too,

just like this one.

...across the shoreline into Louisiana.

We are working with, uh, departments and administrations there,

to kind of help out in the search.

Uh, they've been more than gracious.

And they have a structured grid that they're going over.

It's a very efficient system,

- but I'll be honest... - What the hell?

And '72. See? Same thing again.

Mom had seizures every time the water was low.

Now, see, it was raining when we were out there, right?

Before, when I had a seizure, it was completely dry.

How long have you been looking up this stuff?

How long? What do you mean?

Why does that matter?

I don't know. Just, um...

Have you showed your dad this?

No. He don't wanna hear about it.

What if the seizures are... What if they're hereditary?

She passed them down to you.

Mmm, I ain't never had one, you know?

- I know... - Until now.

- But... - When I set foot right there.

Something's happening when it gets dry in that part of the lake.

- I know, Paris. I'm just saying... - The water level's low...

...you know, they could be genetic. Wasn't that part of it?

Yeah.

I'm just trying to think about every possible explanation.

Yeah.

I get it.

Yeah, it's okay.

Hey.

I loved your mama. You know that.

I just don't think that she'd be wanting you

to spend your time obsessing.

Maybe don't worry about what she'd want.

- Looking at me like I'm crazy. - I'm not.

Yeah.

Paris, I missed you.

I was supposed to go back to Houston yesterday.

But I'm here with you.

- Okay. - Okay, what?

Okay. I don't know what you want.

Do you want me here?

I don't know what you want me to say to that.

- I can't. I gotta go. - I need an answer.

Yeah, well, I can't give you one.

I can't.

I gotta go back.

Mom, why is Anna's boat back?

What?

Anna's boat. Why is it back?

Oh, the, uh, deputy, the tall one, he brought it back.

- He said they don't need it anymore. - What?

Another guy diving in from Dallas.

What are you doing?

I'm just looking for something that might help.

Just stop it, please. Just...

What?

You wanna be involved in every little thing?

- Huh? - I wanna help.

When was the last time you even spent one night in this house? Hmm?

Anna's been crying all these weeks you've been gone,

asking if you hated her. Do you know that?

No.

If you spent more time here, you would have.

If I find anything suspicious...

She's gonna come back.

If anybody has any questions, I'll do my best to answer.

Might not.

Objects, articles of clothing...

Just because...

he went missing...

- it doesn't mean you know everything. - What?

Just because he went missing,

doesn't mean you know everything.

He left, Ellie.

Your father didn't go missing. He left.

- You don't know that. - Yes, I do.

He left me for someone.

I met the woman. She attacked me.

She came after me and I fought back. I hurt her.

You were there, screaming. She saw you. You were a baby.

I told her to tell him about you.

He chose never to come back.

He didn't want us.

This is why I never wanted to tell you.

I'm so sorry, Ellie.

...have needed and have been praying for.

I hope everyone is staying safe out there

because it does come with its own dangers.

Meanwhile, repairs continue at Holmos Dam.

State officials have been trying to secure funds...

...against pushback from the governor's office.

The dam originally constructed in the early 1950s

was a part of a series of government projects

spearheaded by the TVA.

Engineers are concerned that an influx of water

could prove dangerous to the dam's...

- Hey. - Hey.

- You okay? - Yeah.

- Where you been? - I had an appointment today.

- You don't show up for work. - Forgot to tell you.

- You don't think I'm gonna worry? - No, I get it.

I'm good.

Don't gotta worry about me.

Yeah, but I do.

It's part of the job.

I was thinking about maybe calling Wade up at the dam site

to see about borrowing one of those diggers,

and we can pull out all that old rotten foundation that you got there.

We could get that done over the weekend.

- Get your place going there. - Yeah.

- You have such a beautiful... - I don't need a new house right now, Dad.

- Look, I gotta go. - Uh...

I know I can't talk to you like your mother.

But you know that she would want me to check in with you

and make sure that you're okay.

Yeah, I know.

- I miss her, too. - Yeah.

I'm fine, Dad.

Really.

Let me back up. I gotta let you out.

I'll see you tomorrow. Okay?

See you tomorrow.

Anna?

Fuck!

Anna Bennett!

Is someone there?

We're here to help you.

Just call out.

Show yourself!

No one should be out here alone.

Hello?

Anna!

Shit, my phone.

What the hell? Oh, my God.

Come on. Come on.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

I thought I was the only one liked to fish this early. Huh.

You sure you can find your way back again?

I got a spare tank right here. We can go fill her up.

No, I'll be okay. You can just drop me off at Dottie's.

Marigold, you a good girl?

- Safe ride home. - Thank you.

Lisa!

Ellie, did you see anything out on the water?

No.

Did she follow you to Claire's?

- No. - Are you sure?

No, I'm here. Go outside and get Daniel. He needs the boat now.

- Yes, we're in Marshall County. - Wait, Mom.

In Karnack.

Yes. 67 Pivot Road.

Uh, well, one of our boats is missing,

so we think maybe she's out on the water.

Yeah. No. I don't know.

We're in Harrison County. Karnack.

67 Pivot Road.

One of our boats is missing, so we think she might be out on the water with it.

No.

Well, no. She knows not to go out without telling anyone, so...

She did this about a month ago.

She followed her sister

out on the water without asking.

Anna.

My daughter, Ellie, she just got home.

But she hasn't seen her, so...

We woke up, and she isn't here.

So, I need someone out on the lake looking now.

- Y'all need to get out on the water. - Mom?

She could be hurt or in trouble. She's a little girl.

You heard anything yet?

No. Did you get Daniel?

- No. - Go get him. Please!

We need to get out on the water!

- How long has she been gone? - Oh, Ellie, please!

Anna!

Anna!

Anna!

Ellie!

Anna?

Ellie!

Stay there! Anna, where are you?

Just stay there! Anna, where are you?

Can you hear me?

Ellie?

Anna?

Hey.

Hey!

Ellie!

I can't get it to start.

Anna? Anna!

- How'd you find me? - Anna. Hey.

Is that the way to Claire's?

I heard you. I followed your voice. Where you been?

Everybody's been looking for you.

No, I was just following you to Claire's.

You just left.

Why'd you break everything?

What did I do? What...

You hurt Mimi, and you threw a plate.

That was a month ago.

What are you talking about? You just left.

Wait. Wait.

- What? - Your tooth.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey! I need help!

Stop!

Ow! Stop.

What's wrong with you?

What are you doing?

I just wanted to go to Claire's with you.

Hey, wake up.

Wake up, wake up.

Why are you and your mom always fighting?

You just... You make everyone cry. You make everyone so sad.

- Anna, stop. Stop. - You leave the house whenever you want.

- Why do you... - Stop. Stop!

We need to get off the lake, okay?

Okay. Okay, we're going home.

Move.

- I'll take us home, okay? - Okay.

All right.

Hey. Hey, it's okay. It's okay. I got you.

- Leave me alone! - Anna!

Sweetheart.

- I'm being patient. Knock it off. - Anna.

Come on. Open the door.

Anna... God.

I'm gonna count to three.

One...

Don't you ever go out on that lake without asking if...

Daniel!

What are you doing back here, huh?

What?

You made a big stink about going to Claire's and now you're back.

Ellie, enough!

Shit. What do you have to say?

What do you have to say to me?

Please, no more fighting.

- I'm sorry. - You don't get to apologize. You don't...

You can't come in this house if this is what you're gonna do in this house!

You threaten your mother like that again,

you cause violence in this house like that again,

I will call Sheriff Tanner.

Go to Claire's like you said.

I gotta take care of your mother.

Daniel, you cannot let Anna go on that lake.

You... You just cannot let her go out alone.

She's gonna follow me again, and it's gonna be bad.

What? What are you talking about?

- It's dangerous. - What are you doing?

I'm the one that has to explain to Anna

why you're at your mother's throat all the time.

- No. I'm talking about Anna. - And I'm talking about you.

Your behavior. You want to try being a real sister to her?

Maybe start behaving like a real adult.

I pray for you all the time that you and your mother will find some peace.

But I'm done tonight.

You don't get to just come back and pretend it didn't happen.

Okay, clear!

Hey.

Hey!

Will you be okay?

I'm sorry. It's gonna be okay.

Come here. Give me a hug, sweetheart.

I love ya.

You want some cake?

- Yeah. - One piece.

- Take her. Take her. - What's going on?

- What happened to her? - She, she fell on a branch.

Put her in the back.

Here. Keep that pressed on her.

Here ya go.

- Throw it out. - Wolves get her?

What?

My God. Were y'all at the dam site?

- No, no. No, I... - Her breathing's getting ragged.

Is this Caddo? This Caddo Lake?

- Still breathing. - What's your name?

Paris. I'm Paris. I'm Ben Lang's son.

Gemini Explorations.

- Drunk out of his mind. - This is Karnack, right? Caddo Lake?

Yeah, this is Caddo.

What year is it?

- What? - What's the year?

It's '52.

- '52? - Robert, let's go.

You know, you're bleeding too.

- We gotta go. - You're not fucking with me, right?

What are you doing with this girl, son?

Nothing. I just...

- What'd you do to her? - Sorry, I'm not...

- Rob, we gotta go. Come on. - Sorry.

We gotta get her to a doctor.

1952.

I can go back.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

I was here.

Daniel?

Ellie, where are you? I've been calling.

I'm out by Found Herd Creek, up under the old bridge.

- Where? - Found Herd.

- The moths that Anna found they just... - Found Herd? What?

You're breaking up.

Just please come, Daniel.

Found Herd.

- I need help! - Anna?

Anna!

Oh, shit.

- This boat channel is off-limits. - Yeah. Yeah, sorry.

- I'm just heading out. - Don't move.

I'm...

I'm a little lost.

- Hold on. - There's no problem. I just...

Just got turned around, is all.

- This your boat? - What's that?

- Is this your boat? - Yes, sir.

- You got some identification? - Yes, sir.

Hey, hey, hey!

You need help?

- You coming? - No, I'll follow.

Sheriff'll meet you at the hospital.

- Watch the blood in his ears. - Hey. What year is it?

It's 2022, sweetie.

- Jesus. He's shaking again. - Yeah, I got it.

You're in the back of an ambulance...

Hi. Have you seen this girl?

- She missing? - Yeah.

Jaclyn! This girl's saying she done lost somebody.

- My sister. - What's her name?

- Anna. - You lost her in here?

No, we meet here after school.

It's Saturday.

Do you need me to lock the doors?

Ma'am?

Anna!

Come on, baby.

- Excuse me? - Sorry.

- Excuse me? Have you... - No, sorry.

Just stop. Don't mess with that.

I wanna know how you came upon that boat.

You can't explain yourself, you're not going anywhere.

Hey! What the hell are you doing in my truck?

- How'd you get in? - Where did you get this?

- That's my necklace. - Where did you get this?

- Why do you... Drop it! - Tell me where you got this.

Tell me!

Give me my necklace.

- Hey, hey, hey! - Give me!

She stole from me. She has my necklace. You stole it.

- Get off me! Give it back! - Tell me where you got this.

This is my sister's. Where did you get it?

- Where did you get this? - It's his mother's.

On the flyer, his mother, Anna Lang.

He gave it to me before he went missing. It's Anna's.

Now, can I have my necklace back?

You okay?

Wait.

Do you know where he is?

That's okay, Ellie.

- It's okay, baby. - What did you just call her?

I need you to tell him that we have a baby now.

And that I'm not gonna be mad.

I just need him to come home, okay?

And I don't care if he's with you. I don't care.

But I need you to tell him, okay? Tell him I miss him.

Tell him to come home.

Hey!

Will you tell him, please?

Please tell him!

Anna Lang.

Is this your blood? Whose blood is it?

...that we're gonna see across our area

with Karnack being hit the hardest...

- You seen this girl? - No.

I don't know her.

What are you doing with her boat?

I...

Look, you tell me what I need to know, and we'll let you go.

I can't, I can't.

What happened?

Police report clean 70...

It's gonna close.

Look, just relax. You're safe here, okay?

- No, I gotta get back. I gotta go. - Sit back.

Hey, Sheriff.

They say about getting another room?

They said he's gotta stay awake a couple more hours

before they can transfer him.

- Martha, look. - Sheriff?

Kid's good to go.

We'll take him off your hands.

Let me just make another round.

It's $10 an hour. The first ten minutes are free.

Evacuations are taking place around Caddo

where authorities believe that if the dam fails...

The pastor and Mrs. Bennett

- are on their way up here, right now. - Shit!

- I don't know. You need me to call him? - No. No...

Pull the car around.

- We ain't waiting on this shit. - Yes, sir.

- We'll meet at the station. - I just need to use the restroom.

It's a 20-minute drive. You'll be fine.

- No, I need to go right now. - Right now?

- Yep. - Okay, you have to wait.

- I'll just use the one here. - We're okay in here?

- No. Let's go. - Yeah, I just need to use the restroom.

- Um, yes, where's the nearest restroom? - It's right over there.

Those stay on. Door stays open. No messing around.

For two days, all the people on the street...

Hey!

Hey. Hey! Asshole. Out. Move!

How did he escape? You all right, Sheriff?

Hey! Hey!

She's eight.

Hey!

Stop!

Hey, y'all. Thanks for taking that patient.

Meanwhile, in Karnack, Texas,

where eight-year-old Anna Bennett is still missing.

Her last known location, out on Caddo Lake three days ago.

Anna Bennett disappeared from her family's home between midnight and six...

It has been suspended in anticipation of the upcoming storm,

which is predicted

to drop over six inches of rain

in less than an hour.

Anna Bennett is eight years old

with shoulder-length brown hair and green eyes.

She's wearing an oversized...

Now, if you would like to join the search,

please contact local county Sheriff Taylor's office.

They could use as many volunteers as possible

to search the lake and surrounding areas,

which has proved difficult with...

Check on him later.

- Yes, ma'am. - Can you give me a rundown on the floor?

Miss Baker's fine. Abel's okay. Darlene was fussy but stable.

- What about Benjamin Lang? - Yeah, he's awake.

He was having trouble with the tube today.

I've got him on the power-pack.

Ladies, we've got a situation here.

The man from the lake has escaped custody.

If y'all just wanna head downstairs.

Y'all are gonna be fine. Just stay together.

Dad.

What happened?

It's okay. It's okay.

Listen.

I found Mom.

I found her.

There's a place on the lake where you can change times.

It's why she was, she was... Why she was sick.

She was a little girl.

She was hurt.

She was hurt and I carried her, I carried her in my arms.

I saved her.

Hey, hey, hey.

I gotta go home.

I gotta get back before it closes up.

Sheriff, he's in here.

Dad, I'm okay now. You hear me?

I'm okay now. You don't gotta worry about me.

I'm gonna come home to you.

To Celeste. I'm coming home.

Promise.

Shit.

Where? Which one?

- Stop! - No, God, no!

- Hey! Hey! - My God. No.

Down here!

Stop now!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey! Hey! Get out!

- Get out! - What? What?

- Get out. Get out! - All right!

Wait.

Hey!

Well, yeah, he took my car. I left my phone. Call 'em!

Come on, come on.

No, wait, wait, wait. I'm trying to get back to my family. I...

The dam is not safe.

- I need to go home. - Back away from the edge. Now!

Anna!

Ellie!

Ellie!

Daniel!

Ellie!

Come on, baby. We got you. Come on. Where you been?

- We got you. Sit down. Sit down. - You okay?

You get caught in the storm?

It filled up the lake so quick. We found the skiff.

Drink some of this, right here.

What, what, what happened?

How long has she been gone?

Three days.

- Your face. - We got Ellie.

- Up on Found Herd Creek. - Where's Mom?

Home. There was, uh, this guy.

He stole the car. He was definitely involved.

He, he was on Anna's boat.

Your mom, she thought he looked like your father. Like Paris.

He killed himself, jumping off the dam.

Your mother's...

They said they can meet us on the channel.

Okay.

It's, uh... We're trying to figure it out.

- Daniel. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm right here. Tell me what happened.

This place...

Nature made this place...

Through...

We're family.

You and me.

- Through Anna. - We've always been family.

Ellie, I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry I haven't... - No, no, no.

- I haven't... - No.

Anna's okay.

You think so?

I know she is.

I know she's okay.

...everyone is staying safe.

Meanwhile, authorities are asking for help identifying a deceased man.

A suspect in the Anna Bennett case.

Police have released this photo.

Describing the man between 25 and 30 years old,

with brown hair and light brown eyes, and a slim build.

The man had no identification on him

and was initially found in missing eight-year-old Anna Bennett's boat.

The man escaped from South Caddo Hospital and was pursued by authorities

before jumping off the Holmos Dam overpass

just moments before the dam's failure.

Police say the man drowned in the ensuing flood of water.

Authorities are asking for the public's help on the man's identity.

It's him.

Meanwhile, the Holmos Dam

is in shatters after just a few hours ago.

He was trying to get back.

The dam constructed in the early 1950s

has needed significant repairs for years now...

I...

...but authorities lack funds to make those repairs.

The community now faces the brunt of those leaks

as homes have flooded and possessions have been lost.

It's from 1952.

They didn't mean to leave us.
