[Peppy music]

Hey, do you need some more coffee?

Yes, espresso.

[Coffee pouring]

Thank you.

Coffee?

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Chair screeching]

[Clanking sound]

Please pack one medium

sized cheesecake.

Which flavour?

It's winter mint.

[indistinct sound]

[Plates clanking]

Thank you.

[Foot steps]

Your cake is here.

It's from your favorite shop.

Winter mint flavor, just like you like.

Come have a look.

[Suspense music]

I would like to go home to my daddy.

This is home now.

No, this is not.

This is a cage.

Your daddy doesn't want you.

He doesn't love you anymore.

He loves me very much.

You're not letting me go.

If your father loved you,

he'd have found you by now.

But he's not trying very hard

to find you.

Do you know

why he's not trying very hard?

Because he's glad that you're gone.

That's not true.

He loves my very much.

You're not letting me go.

It is.

[Ominous music]

And you need to accept this

and appreciate what I'm doing for you.

Otherwise, you'll be gone

from here soon, as well.

Do you want to take this cake

or should I toss it in the trash?

I drove 20 miles just

to get you this cake.

If you do not eat it,

you will be receiving

no more cakes from me.

I'll take that cake and thank you

so much, Mr. William.

[Plate shattering]

You should look away.

[Grunting]

[Checking pockets]

[Keys jangling]

[Unlocking gates]

[Gate slides open]

Come out.

Don't look over there.

[Ominous music]

You're welcome.

[Ominous music]

[Door opens]

Is this you!

Yes, daddy.

Baby...

[Sobbing]

Where have you been?

I was inside the cage.

Where?

Daddy, I'm hungry. Can I come inside?

Can I get something to eat?

Of course. Yeah.

Are you sure you don't want to change

before you eat?

No, dad. I'd like to eat first.

[Bread in toaster]

[Blender sound]

[Pouring juice]

[Toast popping]

[Birds chirping]

[Phone ringing]

Yeah, this is Maddy.

Maddy.

Grace came home.

How? Who brought her?

[Crockery sound]

She came by herself.

She rang the doorbell.

I opened it.

There she was.

Okay...

That's really strange.

What is she doing now?

Where is she?

She was hungry.

I made her some sandwiches.

She is eating it.

Okay, Look.

Edward, don't change her clothes,

don't bathe her or anything.

We'll need to get samples.

Also, probably need

to get her to the doctor

as soon as we can.

Get her checked out.

- Make sure she's okay.

- Yeah, sure.

And, Edward,

bring her to the hospital

as soon as you can, okay.

I'll text you the location.

[Suspense music]

[Suspense music]

Hi, Grace.

Hi.

My name is Maddy.

- This is Dr. Rita Patel.

- Hi.

She'd like to examine you.

But, I am not sick.

No. You're doing just fine.

But you've been away

from your dad for a little bit.

He just wants to make

sure you've been

eating and sleeping okay.

After that you can change your

clothes and head home.

Okay?

Okay.

Right.

[Velcro scraping]

If you have any more details,

that might be helpful.

How she showed up?

Did someone drop her off?

Shouldn't you be looking for details?

[Sighs]

That's fair.

[Foot steps]

Thank you.

- She seems fine.

- Thank you.

I'll get the other reports

back by tomorrow.

But it's all good.

I would let her rest today.

Try not to bother her with

too many questions.

We'll handle that tomorrow

when you come in.

Okay.

[Ominous music]

[Door opens]

[Ominous music]

[Pouring coffee]

[Phone ringing]

[Foot steps]

- Hi, Grace.

- Hi.

I got this for you.

Thanks.

Do you like chocolates?

Yeah.

What else do you like?

Cakes.

I can have them order you some cakes

if you want.

I don't want to eat cakes any more.

Why is that?

That man, inside the cage,

offered me cake.

[Ominous music]

So you had to eat cake

when you were inside the cage?

- Is that right?

- No.

But you just said that the bad man

offered you cake.

The cake fell.

The cop pushed the man

from behind and it fell.

Wait... There was a cop there?

The cop that took me out of the cage

and brought me home.

How did you know it was a cop?

Because he was dressed like one.

Like this?

Yeah, like this.

Grace, sweety,

I need you to help me understand.

You said there was a bad man

who took you.

He put you in a cage,

but then he offered you cake.

Then a cop showed up,

pushed him down.

Took you out of the cage,

and then brought you home.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.

Did this cop

take you in his own car?

No, he took me home in a van.

It's a big ugly van.

Okay.

Grace, did the cop bring you home

in the same ugly van

that the bad man took you in?

Yes.

Okay.

[Suspense music]

So the cop came and pushed

the bad man down.

Took you out of the cage,

brought you home in an ugly van

and then left in the same ugly van

after he dropped you off?

Yes, but he didn't leave in the same van.

That van is still parked near my house.

The van is still near your house.

It's there.

We need to go to your house,

and I mean now.

We need to find the van.

[Engine revving]

[Suspense music]

You look scared.

I look scared because I am scared.

We got the van at the house.

The van she was probably

abducted in.

It's your lucky day.

What is there to be scared of?

Doesn't make any sense.

Feels like we're walking

through a mine field

and any minute the ground's

gonna explode.

Explode? Are you serious?

Bear, think about it.

When, in the history of

any criminal abduction,

have you heard about,

or read or seen that

a kid is abducted,

kept by their abductor

in a cage for fifteen days

and then she just

shows up back at home?

Not to mention, apparently some

random cop rescued her

and brought her home

in the same van she was abducted in.

Seems like a fairy tale except

we don't have fairies in our line of work.

Eventually those fairies turn

into monsters

and those monsters show up

and they say hi.

[Suspense music]

That's what I am scared of.

[Suspense music]

[Door opening]

[Door opening]

[Door closing]

Where is the van?

Edward, will you take her inside?

I'll call you if I need you.

[g*n ready]

[Suspense music]

[Intense music]

[Suspense music]

[Door opens]

[Door opens]

Clear.

[Door opens]

[Suspense music]

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

Hey, Watts,

can you run a plate for me?

It's GRG-2354

[Keyboard tapping]

Are you ready?

- Should I say it or should I text it?

- You can just say it.

[Suspense music]

[Suspense music continues]

[g*n loaded]

[Suspense music]

[Ominous music]

[Intense music]

Clear.

[Suspense music]

Clear.

We got a body.

[Poignant music]

No pulse.

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

Detective Maddy again.

We found the place

where Grace was being held.

It's exactly like she described.

We also found a body.

It appears to be that of the kidnapper.

Seems like the cop may have k*lled him

before he took Grace away from here.

I would keep her away

from the news for next two weeks.

Does he look like

he was a serial offender?

I don't know.

This place has all the signs, so

yeah, I think he may have been.

Grace is very lucky.

I'd like to see the place.

No, not a good idea.

[Suspense music]

[Camera clicking]

[Forensice team gathering evidence]

[Plastic bag rustles]

[Keys jangling]

[Screeches]

[Suspense music]

[Foot steps]

His name was Will Rave.

He inherited his farm from his father,

and he lived there his whole life.

Married twice.

His second wife died from

complication during childbirth.

He buried her on that farm,

even though the locals objected.

Got a priest

Went ahead and laid her to rest any way.

[Picking the mobile]

[Dialling]

[Phone buzzing]

What's up, Maddy?

Hey, Jeff, have you guys found

a grave anywhere on the property?

Grave? What kind of grave?

This place is huge.

We don't see any grave.

It would be your typical grave,

probably with a headstone

and an inscription on it.

Apparently, this guy William Rave,

buried his wife on the property.

According to the papers,

it looks like a priest may

have conducted the service.

I'll send you over the printout.

And Jeff, we need to find this grave.

It could lead us to the remains

of the other missing kids.

Oh no.

[Suspense music]

[Suspense music continues]

[Loud music]

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

Yeah-yeah, we found the grave.

[Suspense music]

[Cars approaching]

[Door opening]

[Eerie music]

[Camera clicking]

Four bodies, all kids.

Buried in a circular motion

around the grave.

We put some more holes in the ground,

but I think we got it.

[Camera clicking]

[Suspense music]

Ground just exploded.

No more fairies.

We've conducted a thorough search

on Will Rave's farm,

and found the remains

of four children buried near

William Rave's former

wife's grave site Melina Rave.

[Camera flashes]

We also believe that the same

individual was responsible

for the abduction of Grace Brown.

Now, fortunately she was able to escape

the farm and make it home safely.

Although William Rave was found dead,

this investigation remains open

as there are number of questions

that we seek to ask before

we can conclude exactly.

Thank you. And no further questions.

Sir, please...

How'd she make it home?

Were there any witnesses?

- Hi...

- How are ya...?

How are you?

Hey...

[Sighs]

This is from your shop, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Can you give me the security footage

from the sixth of this month?

Can you wait about five minutes?

- Sure. I'll be right here.

- Thank you.

[Door opens]

[Phone ringing]

[Chair creaking]

Hey, Maddy.

You know, I can't thank God enough

after watching all this.

Yeah, you should thank God.

He's been very kind.

He brought Grace back to you.

Listen, we don't know anything

about the cop that Grace

believes freed her

and brought her home.

We don't know his identity

and how he reached the farm.

So we may need

to question Grace again.

No, no, Grace has been subjected

to too much already.

She can't go through any more.

I understand and I agree with you.

I will handle all of the questions

If you like, I'll ask Dr. Patel to sit in.

Edward, it's crucial that we speak

to Grace right away.

[Sighs]

[phone keypad Click]

[Suspense music]

[Footsteps]

Grace, we have some pictures here

of some cops I'd like you to look at.

Is it this man?

No.

[Suspense music]

[Keyboard Clicking]

No.

Him?

No.

[Keyboard Clicking]

No.

Him?

No.

How about him?

No.

[Suspense music]

None of them?

No.

Do you want to look at

the pictures one more time?

No.

Edward, can I see you outside

for a minute?

I would like to take her to the cafe

where William bought her this cake.

No! Grace has been through enough.

She can't answer any more

of your questions.

This isn't what's best for her.

Edward, I understand your concern, but...

you have to look at it

from this perspective.

This random cop...

We don't know anything about him.

He could be an accomplice to

William Rave and k*lling those kids.

Right now, he is roaming

the streets freely.

He could be picking up other kids.

Grace was incredibly lucky.

But those other four girls were

not so fortunate.

In fact, any point you feel like we're

putting too much pressure on her,

you can take her and leave.

And this will be the last thing?

Absolutely.

What do you want to do at the cafe?

Just have a seat,

maybe order some food.

See if she recognizes anyone

or anything.

[Suspense music]

[Munching]

[Dramatic music]

Thank you.

Grace, have you been here before?

No.

[Dramatic music]

Okay, then.

Okay, c'mon.

Hi.

[Pouring juice]

[Pouring juice]

That's him.

I am sorry, Hon.

That's the cop who dropped me

home and saved me.

[Suspense music]

[Plates clanking]

You mean Jim?

I am not too sure of his name.

All I know is he took me out

of the cage and brought me home.

Maddy, is everything okay?

Yeah, Mason.

Grace was just saying

she saw someone that look like Jim.

Thank you.

Come on, sweety, let's go.

[Suspense music]

[Dramatic music]

[Keys jangling]

Hey, sweety.

- Get in the car and finish up your drink.

- Okay.

He's over there.

Yes, Edward.

What's this all about?

What do you mean?

I mean Grace recognized

that cop on the wall.

Are you not going to follow up on that?

Let's just leave things

like they are, okay.

Questioning Grace isn't really

getting us anywhere.

It's just complicating things.

She identified the cop.

Edward,

the cop hanging on that wall

in there is our colleague Jim.

He died a year ago

in this cafe. How do you think

we should feel about that?

Alright, Grace must have seen someone

who looked like Jim.

Of course. I mean that's the

only thing that makes sense.

Alright, I am sorry.

[Suspense music]

[Brushing teeth]

[Night insect]

[Suspense music]

[Picks the phone]

[Phone ringing]

Yeah.

Hey, detective.

Yeah, I need to step off

for like thirty minutes.

Okay. Sounds good.

[Ominous music]

Jim?

Is that you?

[Thudding sounds]

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Lights on]

[Car unlocks]

[Suspense music]

[Door shuts]

Grace?

Can I sleep with you?

Of course, Hon.

What happened?

That cop is in my room.

Smiling at me.

What cop?

The cop whose picture was

in the cafe, on the wall.

I think his name is Jim.

Jim?

[Suspense music]

Sweet dreams.

Okay.

[Eerie music]

[Phone buzzing]

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Door opens]

[Knocking on glass]

[Rolling window down]

Hey.

Hey detective, how are you doing?

Good...

I just...

I got sleepy. So I pulled over.

Okay. All right.

Do you need me to give you

a ride home or anything?

No, I'm okay.

Okay.

Alright. Take care.

[Sighs]

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Typing on phone]

[Phone chimes]

[Insect sound]

- Nia sweetie, you almost done?

- Yes.

We're gonna be late. We're running behind.

[Plates clanking]

Good.

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Suspense music]

[Keys jangling]

[Chair creaks]

You wanted to talk to me?

Earlier when we were...

When we were looking at

the security camera footage...

It was from a bad angle.

We couldn't see the driver's face.

So

Last night I went and checked

from a different angle,

and I saw this.

[Keyboard Click]

[Suspense music]

What do you think?

Grace hasn't been able to sleep

in her room since she got back.

I thought it was

because of what happened.

Last night,

she came to sleep in my bed and...

She says Jim has been in her room.

Jesus!

So I went to the room and checked.

And you saw Jim?

I felt a presence.

And I saw something,

like a shadow.

[Chair creaks]

[Foot steps]

Nia, can I give you a ride home?

No, thank you.

Mom will come pick me up.

- Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

- You too.

[Sighs]

[Car engine]

[Suspense music]

[Car horn]

[Phone ringing]

Hey, honey.

Mom, I'm waiting for you.

When will you come pick me up?

I know Sweety.

I'm stuck in traffic still.

I'm sorry.

Listen...

You think you can walk home today?

No, problem.

[Disconnects phone]

[Suspense music]

[Car engine starts]

[Gentle music]

[Car approaching]

[Phone ringing]

[TV program me]

Hello.

Hey, it's Rob down at the station.

Yeah, I got Safia Thompson here.

And she says her daughter is missing.

Yeah, she'd like to talk to a detective.

Have you called Maddy?

Oh I gave her a call already.

She is already headed in.

She just wanted me

to give you a heads up.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Okay.

[Places phone receiver]

[Footsteps]

[Suspense music]

Thank you.

[Night Insect]

Where is she?

Room five.

[Turning pages]

So, her daughter is a teenager

that's only been gone for a few hours.

Why is she jumping to conclusions

that she's gone missing?

Honestly, detective,

with all buzz and media frenzy going

on about girls missing these days,

abduction is going

to be a prime concern.

True.

[Turning pages]

She mentions her daughter's

phone in the statement.

Can you check it for me?

Will do.

[Foot steps]

- Safia Thompson?

- Yes.

I am detective Maddy Wells.

I am in-charge

of the missing person's cases.

I see here in your statement

that your daughter Nia

has only been gone a couple of hours.

Why do you want

to report her as missing?

I know my daughter very well.

She never comes home late.

She doesn't stay anywhere else, ever!

Is it possible that she is mad

at you because

you didn't come pick her up on time?

I just spoke to her earlier.

It was before she left school

to come home.

She sounded fine to me.

I just think something happened

to her.

[Chair creaks]

Ms. Thompson,

is Nia allowed to take her phone

to school?

No. She is not allowed, but...

I gave her one just in case

for emergencies.

She is not allowed to call or text

anyone off that phone

while she is in school.

She keeps it inside her bag.

When is the last time

you spoke with her?

I can check.

[Sighs]

[Checks phone]

2:32

That was the exact time.

It says here that her

phone was turned off at

2:42 pm.

[Paper rumbling]

If no one knew she had

a phone in her bag,

it's most likely she turned

it off herself.

[Sighs]

Or her kidnapper knew that

she had a phone

and switched it off to hide her location.

All due respect, Ms. Thompson,

I don't think your daughter

was kidnapped.

Well, it's not what you think,

detective.

It's what I know.

I heard about those young

girls missing cases lately.

The one that you'll

have been investigating.

It is true that we had some

cases of missing girls

but that kidnapper is no longer

on the streets.

Besides, Nia doesn't really

fit the profile.

He mostly targeted girls

that were white.

If I were to take a guess,

I would say Nia is probably just

upset about something,

and she'll be home later tonight.

You should go there and wait for her.

In the meantime,

one thing we can do is...

If you want to give us

a list of her friends

and their numbers,

we can give them a call.

Whatever you say.

[Sobbing]

[Crying]

[Suspense music]

[Door shuts]

[Phone ringing]

Yeah, Parker.

This is a blind spot.

No cameras, no homes here, nothing.

It's completely secluded.

Nobody could have seen this.

How soon can you get back here?

Like 15 minutes.

[Sad music]

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

Hey, Safia, this is detective Maddy.

We'd like to speak to you again.

Is there a time today that you

could come back by the station?

I am ready now. I can come now.

Great.

[Sound of paper]

We saw this black van on security

cameras about 19 miles away

from the spot where Nia went missing.

So you think that this is

the van that took her.

Yeah. Either that, or it's possible

that Nia knew the driver

and got in willingly.

Can you tell us where her father is?

Her father died three years ago

from cancer.

I'm sorry to hear that.

What was his name?

Lomar.

Lomar Thompson.

But why would you think that Nia

would know the driver of this van?

We went to the spot where

Nia's phone was switched off.

That van was seen 20 miles

away at 2:21

Twenty minutes later at 2:41

Nia switched her phone off.

Can you just get to the point?

What are you try to say?

I think Nia may have switched her

phone off as that van approached.

Either that, or...

[Sighs]

Or what?

The person inside the van

may have known

that Nia carried a phone

inside her bag.

You don't believe that

she was kidnapped, do you?

My daughter

is out there alone.

And you trying to sit here and avoid the

fact that she's been taken by somebody.

This don't make no damn sense.

You keep trying to say that

she needs to know the person.

Why does it matter

if she knew the person or not?

Why wouldn't you just listen to me?

[Cries]

I know in my heart what

happened to my daughter.

[Suspense music]

[Car approaching]

[plastic bag rustles]

I keep having these nightmares

over and over again.

That she's alone in some dark place.

[Unlocks door]

And that she's tied up with tape

over her mouth.

[Door opens]

She's trying to call,

she is trying to cry out to me.

But she can't.

She can't. I can't get to her.

I need to use the restroom.

Please,

[Sighs]

You need to find her.

Okay.

We will continue the investigation

with the possibility that

she has been abducted.

Thank you.

[plastic bag rustles]

[Suspense music]

If you promise to behave,

I can make sure you stay comfortable.

Sure, please don't hurt me.

You'll be home and safe

with your family again soon.

Don't try anything smart.

Don't get any big ideas.

Or I'll have to tie you back up

and tape your mouth.

Okay.

[Keys jangling]

[Car unlocks]

[Sighs]

[Dragging trolley]

[Door bell rings]

[Door opens]

- Mummy...

- Hi, baby.

Dad, look who's here.

It's mummy.

Where had you been?

[Door shuts]

I have so many things to tell you.

Yeah?

I got all A's on my report card.

Did you!

So proud...

- Hi.

- Hi...

I would have called but...

I lost my phone on the way, so...

I just came through here.

It's fine.

[Chuckles]

You probably need to freshen up.

Why don't you use my room?

Let's go.

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

Hey, Edward, it's Maddy.

Is now good time to talk?

Yeah, sure.

It seems like we may have

another missing kid.

I'd really like to talk to Grace again

about her conversation with Jim.

I don't think that's

a good idea right now.

Her mother just got back.

Whose mother?

Grace...

Grace's mother.

She just came back.

Okay. Just give me a call when you

get a chance to talk to Grace, okay.

Sure.

[Suspense music]

Edward, I...

You don't have to change anything

just because I am back.

I'm really happy that you're here.

Grace especially needs you

after everything she's been through.

What has Grace been through?

We can talk about it this evening.

I am late for work.

I got to go.

I'm gonna say bye to Grace.

Don't tell your mother about Jim.

[Poignant music]

[Typing]

Okay, so you should start

this medication immediately.

And then we need to plan

for your hospitalization days.

How long can I continue like

this without hospitalization?

About 36 weeks.

But then you need to come

to the hospital.

Well eventually,

weakness will be evident.

But it all depends on how your

body responds to the medication.

Have you told your wife about this?

Not yet.

Look, you need

to tell her immediately.

It's going to be too shocking

if she finds out about this later.

If you can hear me,

wherever you are,

please know,

Nia is a sweet girl.

And she don't deserve this.

I'll pray that you be forgiven

for all of your sins.

Please, please just bring my

baby girl back to me.

This is your chance.

This is your time.

This is your time to make

things right for all of us.

Please, you have the chance

to change this.

[Sighs]

Just bring my baby girl to me, please.

Sir, can you explain since

the alleged abductor is dead,

why are other children

being kidnapped?

Or is it possible that

you have the wrong man

in the first place?

William Rave is a serial offender.

[Sobbing]

He's responsible for the abduction

and m*rder of six children in this area.

But he's been k*lled.

But that being said,

we believe that there is another offender.

If I may, who k*lled William Rave?

We can't answer

that question at this time.

So this is the spot right here?

Yeah, right here.

She was in there waiting

and I asked her if she wanted a ride.

But she said she was going

to wait for her mom.

Was she depressed or scared

or stressed out at all.

No, she seemed perfectly

fine, normal.

That's why I figured it

was okay to leave.

Okay...

Do you mind if I see her school records?

Of course.

Yeah, we can go to the principal's

office and grab those.

[Footsteps]

[Birds chirping]

[Typing]

- Maddy.

- Yeah.

Did Nia Thompson change her name?

[Typing]

What do you mean change her name?

According to her earlier school records,

her name's Nia Davis.

[Paper rumbling]

So, Safia's husband Lomar Thompson

is not Nia's father.

Apparently not.

She married someone before

she married Lomar Thompson.

That's not what she said

in her statement.

She told us Lomar Thompson

is Nia's father.

Why would she lie about that?

[Sighs]

[Suspense music]

[Door bell rings]

[Footsteps]

[Door opens]

- Hello, detectives.

- Hi, Safia.

Can I get you guys anything to drink?

Coffee? Tea?

No, thank you, Safia.

We're just here to ask you a question.

Okay. Come over here.

[Sobbing]

Who is Nia's father?

Lomar.

My late husband.

Her biological father, Safia?

Come on, Safia.

You need to tell us.

Marrying with child was a mistake, okay.

We separated almost immediately

when Nia was born.

Me and Lomar was already married

for five years by the time.

How could you come here to ask for

Nia's biological father?

[Scoffs]

Why does that matter?

It matters, Safia.

Every detail in a criminal

investigation matters.

Answer the question.

Who is Nia's biological father?

It's Tyrell Davis.

[Dramatic music]

[g*n shot]

Why didn't you tell us this earlier?

How was I supposed to tell you

that he was a cop k*ller?

He k*lled Jim Wheeler.

If I told you, you wouldn't have

put the same effort here for Nia.

[Chair creaking]

Safia, that's not true.

And now you've hindered

this investigation

by withholding this information

from us.

Had you told us earlier,

we could have been

in a better position to help

both you and Nia.

You can't tell the press about this.

Please.

I will do what I can to keep

this away from the media.

But you've made a serious mistake.

[Chair creaking]

[Sobbing]

[Night insect]

I am so sorry you had

to go through this alone.

You really didn't hear anything?

Not on the television, not online.

No. I was in the middle

of nowhere with a friend.

Look, Edward,

I know I haven't been a good mother.

I want to make up for lost time

with Grace and with you.

If you have something to say,

I am ready to hear it.

I was in a shitty town

with a shitty friend...

[Dramatic music]

We had bought some pills off the street,

and instead of ecstasy,

it was some kind of poison.

Oh no.

Hey, no, no, no...

Oh my, God.

Oh no.

He died right in front of me

from a pill that I put in his mouth.

[Dramatic music]

I was all alone

in the middle of the night

in a hotel room with a dead body.

[Knocking on door]

One second.

[Suspense music]

I had no money to get home.

I thought I was gonna rot in jail.

[Knocking on door]

Then this cop just showed up.

I had no idea how he knew

my name and my address

and literally everything about me.

[Door opens]

I don't know. I don't know, I mean,

I am so scared.

Go home.

[sobbing]

Go home.

He gave me plane tickets

and some cash.

It was like he was an angel

who showed up just to save me.

[Suspense music]

[Paper rustling]

I am glad you are back.

Missed you.

Edward,

I am sorry.

You are fine.

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Birds chirping]

[Suspense music]

[Sighs]

Please help me understand.

How could you miss something so basic?

So crucial information about her father!

Because Safia purposely hid it from us.

So she gave a false statement.

The only reason we found out about it

is because Parker was working into

Nia's old school records.

And you should have known

that from the beginning.

- But chief...

- I don't want to hear it.

I've been listening to you

for way too long.

And I am disappointed

in your investigation.

You have no idea

who k*lled William Rave.

You don't know

how Grace made it home,

and you have no clue

about Nia's disappearance.

After three days of investigation

and several press conferences,

you spring some new information

on me now!

Do you know what this looks like to me?

Huh?

Let me tell you.

It looks like lousy,

incompetent police work.

Chief, don't you see?

Nia and Grace,

they have a common link now.

It's Jim.

Do not come to me

with this ghosty crap

that you have been spewing.

Do you hear how you sound?

Like seriously.

We're supposed to arrest

and indict ghosts now?

Is that what you are telling me?

You have seven days

to finish this investigation

or I am transferring you.

Do you understand me?

- Do you understand me?

- Yes, sir.

Dismissed.

[Footsteps]

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Door creaks]

Excuse me.

- How are you doing?

- Good.

My name is Detective Madison Wells.

Is it okay if I ask you a few questions?

Sure.

[Photo shakes]

Have you ever seen a model

of a van like this?

Sold any parts

for something like that lately?

I can't say for sure.

All right, no problem.

Thank you for your help.

- You're welcome. I'm sorry.

- That's okay.

-Good day

-Thanks, thank you. You too.

Thank you.

Have you done any work on this van in your

garage?

No, not like that.

Sorry about that.

Thank you.

[Chair creaks]

Hey Maddy.

Sorry, we're not open yet.

Be back in 45 minutes.

But if you don't mind waiting,

grab yourself a cup of coffee

until the services are ready.

Actually

I want to talk to you.

Do you have a few minutes?

[Pouring coffee]

Thank you.

[Suspense music]

[Keys jangling]

Can you tell me about that night?

The night Jim was shot.

[Dramatic music]

He was a regular here.

He used to come

in often during his night shifts.

[Door opens]

That night he just needed

to use the restroom.

He knows the restrooms are

at the back of the store

so he parked in the back

and came in through the back door.

I wouldn't even know here

he was in the cafe.

I was standing behind the bar

cleaning the counter. All right?

- And bam the door flies open.

- [Banging sound]

[Dramatic music]

Put your mother fg hands up!

Put them up.

- Relax.

- Shut the fk up.

Take the money out of the register

and put them on the fg counter.

Hurry up.

Don't fg play with me.

- Your eyes on me.

- Okay.

- All right, here.

- Now.

- Cash.

- It's all there. All right.

- C'mon put it all out there.

- That's it.

- You sure that's it?

- That's it.

Put that fG ring with the money.

Put the fg ring above the money now.

Okay.

- Hurry up.

- Hang on. All right.

Put it above the money.

It's all right there.

[g*n shots]

[Man drops on the floor]

No!

He had all the money

and my ring.

Jim was shot

so he wouldn't be able to do anything.

He should've just taken

the money and gone.

I mean I could've gotten help for Jim...

who knows he'd survive the g*n shot!

I don't know.

But that guy turned around

it was some kind of drug or something

- he just wouldn't leave.

- Look at you now.

- Fg dirty Harry.

- Instead he walks right up to Jim

with the g*n in his hand.

Would you do me a favour

and make my fg day

and reach for your loaded g*n.

C'mon, reach forward.

Nah! I guess you give up now, right?

Nah, I don't give up.

I don't give up.

I'll sh**t you in your fg face!

Fg face.

No!

No! Damn it!

[g*n shots]

Mason

have you seen Jim since that night?

I'll answer your question.

But the real question is

can you handle the answer?

Try me.

Jim was k*lled at 2:35 am, right?

Right.

In the night...

Now we know that because of the autopsy.

Anyone one night I'm up late night

cleaning up or something

all by myself of course.

I noticed the time was 2:35

[Startled sound]

And I look right over there

and Jim was sitting in that chair.

I thought it was some kind of an illusion

you know or trick of the eye or something

but there he was.

He was standing right

before as clear as day!

How clear?

As clear as I see you right now.

How are you doing, Jim?

I'm not doing so well.

What's wrong?

I'm surrounded by grief.

Restless and pain.

Olivia never got a chance

to kiss me goodbye.

Her heart still yearns

to see my face one last time.

[Sobs]

Olivia was Jim's childhood sweetheart

who became his wife some time back.

I've never seen two people more in love

than Jim and Olivia.

Can you please remove

that bandage from his face?

I need to see him.

I'm sorry, we can't do that.

The b*llet's totally d*sfigured his face.

You have to bury him with

those bandages on.

[Sobs]

[Sobs]

Jim..

Good bye, my love.

[Kiss]

[Sobs]

She deserved to see my face

before they buried me.

She deserved a farewell kiss.

We deserve to say good bye to each other.

Pain

isn't fading.

[Suspense music]

Do you think Jim could've saved that girl

Grace?

I firmly believe that

Jim is capable of performing miracles.

Yes, ma'am.

This shop you know the losses

I was just

the loans and debts...

Oh my goodness!

Anyway, Jim is here one night

and I was telling him about that. I said,

Jim I think I'll have to sell the place.

He looked right at me and said

don't do that.

He said I'll take care of it.

Have faith in me.

Accept my hand

and you should put up my picture

on the wall right there.

He says if you do those things

all your troubles are gone.

Ah..

I accepted him, I did

what he asked,

I put up his picture right there

and now look at us!

We're flourishing here!

Jim worked wonders.

He saved that girl, Maddy.

Yes, ma'am.

That girl's telling you the truth.

[Suspense music]

[Suspense music]

[Phone ringing]

Hey, Maddy. What's up?

Edward, where are you now?

I'm at work.

Can you send me your location?

I'll come to you.

We need to talk.

Sure.

[Suspense music]

[Car comes to a halt]

You seem anxious.

I'm anxious.

I keep hearing

all these stories about Jim.

Mason, the cafe owner

he says he's seen him

and talked to him

that he has powers to do things.

They say Jim has the power

to do anything he wants.

So you believe this too.

-100%

-Have you seen him?

Has he been in Grace's room?

[Suspense music]

I've seen him.

[Door shuts]

Easy man. I'm not going to hurt you.

It was the night Grace came

and slept in my room.

She said she was scared

and Jim was in her room.

Thank you for bringing her home.

No problem.

If you want,

I can give you other things too.

Like what?

Anything you desire.

- I see Grace needs her mother.

- Kelly?

I can't have Kelly back.

Kelly's a mess.

Kelly was wild at heart.

Parties,

booze, drugs, men...

You name it, she tried it.

She wasn't cut out to be a mother.

She left us when

Grace was just 4 years old.

You want Kelly to be a loving mother

- a caring wife.

- Yeah.

I can get Kelly back for you.

[Sighs heavily]

You know what's strange about miracles?

What's that?

When it happens, it seems like

the most normal thing in the world.

I brought Grace back to you

without asking for a thing.

And now I bring Kelly back to you

but I ask something of you.

Anything, Jim.

Anything you need.

Now Kelly's back.

After 6 years she just walked

in 2 days ago,

all her wildness gone.

She's taking care of Grace.

I've never seen her like this before.

What did Jim ask for in return?

Take my hand.

He offered me his hand.

I took it.

I accepted him into my life.

Look at me now.

I want to meet Jim.

This other girl Nia, she's gone missing.

I need his help.

Grace's room, 2:30 in the morning.

You want me to come to your house

at 2:30 in the morning?

If you want to meet Jim,

that's the best time.

Just don't ring the door bell.

Give me a call on the phone,

I'll open the door.

You can go upstairs.

We'll see if Jim wants to meet you.

[Suspense music]

[Door opens]

[Foot steps]

- Good morning, Maddy.

- Hi, father.

Come walk with me.

[Foot steps]

I need to you talk

to you about something serious.

Sure. Go ahead, Maddy.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Are they real?

What kind of question is that?

[Chuckles]

Of course I believe in god

and I believe in ghosts.

Once you accept one

you're bound to accept the other.

If you could be a little more specific

maybe I can help you more.

There's this ghost.

He helped rescue an abducted girl

and now another girl's gone missing.

I need some help. I know the place

where he usually shows up.

I'm supposed to meet him tonight.

I'm a bit scared.

[Chuckles]

Do you think I'm crazy?

You don't sound crazy to me.

I've known you since you were a kid.

I knew your father.

You're a sharp lady, a good detective.

But if you're here for my advice

I would suggest

you don't take help from that ghost.

Ghosts are forbidden to us.

You must not forget

they're ghosts because

they disobeyed the command of god.

They refused god

when god asked them to leave

this place after their death.

[Dramatic music]

[Suspense music]

[Chair creaks]

I'm on the way.

[Door opens]

Come in.

First door on your left.

Wait, you're not coming?

It doesn't work like that.

He's only visible to one person at a time.

Go.

He's almost coming.

[Eerie music]

Hi, Maddy.

[Eerie music]

[Birds chirping]

[Foot steps]

Hi, Maddy.

Hi, Sofia.

I was wondering if I could get

a picture of when Nia was smaller

like 2 or 3 years old.

Sure but why do you need her old pictures?

I'm not at liberty to disclose

that right now

but I do have my reasons.

I'm certain I know where Nia's been kept.

She'll be home soon.

Just show me the pictures.

Okay.

[Door opens]

[Suspense music]

This one.

[Camera clicks]

[Exhales]

Thank you.

[Dramatic music]

[Car door opening]

[Door shuts]

[Gate slides open]

- How are you doing?

- Good.

I'm detective Maddy Wells.

Your security footage

is working out there?

Yes, they are working.

Can I get the footage

from the last 10 days?

We need a drive to save the video.

Can you put it on this?

All right, give me a minute and I'll get

it.

Thanks.

[Dramatic music]

[Hair machine noise]

[Suspense music continue]

Parker,

there's some security camera footage

on this drive

Can you check if

there's a black van passing by?

Sure. Where's this footage from?

I'll text you the location.

Tell me if you find anything.

[Suspense music]

Mr Davis.

I'm Detective Wells

I'm investigating

the case of Nia Thompson.

Are you aware that Nia's gone missing?

Uhh...

I saw it on the news.

[Paper rustling]

Do you remember this picture?

Yeah, I remember this picture.

Were you still with Nia and Safia

when this was taken or had you already

separated?

What does it matter?

It matters. Please answer the question.

I was still with Nia when this picture was

taken.

Thank you.

[Suspense music]

Hello.

Is this Nia?

Yes, this is Nia Thompson.

Who is this?

It got disconnected.

[Suspense music]

[Phone ringing]

Yeah.

Where have you been? I've been trying

to reach you for the last hour.

Yeah, I left my phone in the car.

What's up?

The security footage you provided

shows the van passing

the camera every day at 10 am.

That footage is from the store.

- I'll send you the location.

- Bye.

[Car approaching]

In which direction was the van seen going

in?

Across the south direction.

Okay, follow that path.

I'll try to reach as fast as I can.

Share your live location.

[Suspense music]

The first structure on your left.

It's a closed motel.

I think we should look into it.

People could be held there.

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

Seems fine, nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm going to keep looking.

There's a trash bag. Looks like there's a

burner phone in it.

Okay, you can look around.

Just be careful.

Maddy, this place is completely abandoned

except this one door with the latch on.

Go back to your car

and wait for me there.

Call for back up

and wait for me there.

I'll be there in about 20 minutes.

[Suspense music]

[Door opens]

[g*ns loading]

[Door opens]

[Applause]

Need to see you guys in the office.

[Foot steps]

Good job.

Made it to the site on time.

Where were you?

My cousin was in the hospital.

I had to go visit him

and come rushing back.

Okay.

[Sighs]

Listen

This is only halfway complete.

I need answers.

Who m*rder*d William Rave.

Who helped Grace escape the farm

and who abducted Nia?

And till we get those answers

this investigation is not complete?

Understand?

But... today is your day.

You should enjoy.

Thanks.

[TV program me]

[Eerie music]

[Engine revving]

So that's it.

You don't remember anything

specific about the man?

No.

So why did he use this phone?

He wanted me to talk

to someone using that phone.

Who did you speak to?

He handed me the phone.

I said hello and the person

on the line asked me who I was.

I replied,

"I'm Nia Thompson".

He Disconnected.

And that's it?

Yes.

[Paper sound]

Okay.

Safia, you can go now.

We need anything else we'll reach out.

[Pouring coffee]

[Shaker sound]

[Suspense music]

My cousin was in the hospital.

I had to go visit him

and come rushing back.

[Paper slides]

[Dramatic music]

Maddy. I left my phone.

Can I have the car keys, please.

Yeah.

[Keys jangling]

Thank you.

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[Engine revving]

[Suspense music]

May I help you?

Detective Parker.

I am here to inquire about

the footage acquired by my partner.

Yes, sir.

That footage helped you, didn't it?

But did she tell you about

what led her to this place?

Well, I'm in no position to be asking

a detective anything, am I?

It's fine. Thank you.

[Suspense music]

[Phone ringing]

Yeah, Parker.

Maddie,

I've something to talk to you about.

Can you join me for lunch?

Sure.

Okay, I'm headed to Masons.

I'll see you in 10 minutes.

Okay, I am coming.

[Random sound]

[Door opens]

Did you order already?

Yeah. What would you like?

Ice tea.

One ice tea, please.

Got it.

We got those two girls but

their perpetrator's still

out there somewhere.

And I think somebody

from the inside is helping them.

[Plate on the table]

What makes you think someone

from the inside is helping them?

You already knew the address to the motel.

I saw it on your GPS.

You were there the day before.

Who gave you the address, Maddie.

Jim did.

[Suspense music]

Hi, Maddie.

Jim gave me that address.

There's another that's gone missing

and I...

need your help.

I already helped with Grace.

Not expecting anything in return.

If you need my help again,

I'll need to ask a favour from you.

What?

You've to accept me.

Once you do that,

I will not only help you with Nia.

I will fulfil all your desires.

All your wishes.

Anything you ask with me.

I'm ready.

[Eerie music]

Take my hand and repeat after me.

I, Maddison Wells, accept you...

as my only ghost

I, Maddison Wells,

accept you...

as my only ghost.

It's done now.

Go downstairs.

And... David will give you the address.

[Dramatic music]

[Suspense music]

Jim knows everything.

He helps people.

[Paper rustling]

[Paper rustling]

Yeah.

I got this picture from Safia.

Turn it over.

[Suspense music]

Isn't that your handwriting?

[Folding paper]

Now you need to know the whole story.

It starts the night that Tyrill shot Jim.

[g*n shots]

[Sobs]

Pain isn't fading, Mason.

I, Edward Brown, accept you...

as my only ghost.

I, Edward Brown, accept you...

as my only ghost.

I need something from you.

Anything, Jim.

Anything you need.

I want Tyrill Davis dead.

[Suspense music]

Not that I can't do it myself.

[Door shuts]

Don't run.

What's the point in helping you?

If you won't help me back?

And do exactly as I say.

Sure.

2.30 in the morning.

Grace's room.

Edward's done his part.

Now you have to do yours.

Sure, Jim.

[Camera clicks]

Thank you.

[Dramatic music]

You recognise this picture?

Yeah, I recognise this picture.

Mr. Davis, do you love Nia?

Yes. I love Nia.

Do you think she might be in this position

because of all the wrong

you have done hurting people.

Could you be responsible for Safia

and Nia's pain and suffering?

What? What do you want from me?

Turn it over.

If you feel you are responsible,

now is your chance for redemption.

Don't miss it.

[Suspense music]

Can I please talk with Nia?

Sure.

Hello

Is this Nia?

Yes, this is Nia Thompson.

I'll do whatever you want,

just let her go.

Please let her go. I'll do whatever you

want.

I agree to do anything you want me to do.

Call authorities in half an hour

And it will be done

I am sorry Maddie, but I'll have

to go to Internal Affairs with this.

Sure, you can do that.

Why did you do this

Jim told me to do it

What about your conscience

My conscience?

Let me tell you what I am feeling

about my conscience Parker

I think we are cursed.

You me, everyone.

Prayers don't seem to help

I think ghosts are cursed just like us

Sometimes the only remedy

for a curse is another curse

Prayer can't fix a curse

Do you think prayer is going to help you?

Help you with that stage 3 cancer you got

What?

You've been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.

Am I wrong?

How did you know that?

I haven't told my wife yet.

Nobody knows that

Jim knows and he told me

I'm fed up with this bullshit about Jim.

What are you doing with these cases?

Instigating suicide?

k*lling people?

I'm done with all of this.

Parker, take it easy.

You've been cured. Jim cured you.

You think this is a joke or something?

I have the report in

my car right out there.

Go back to the doctor.

Get your blood work done again.

You're clean, Parker.

Clean as a newborn.

Afterwards, if you are grateful,

come and take Jim's hands.

We'll be waiting for you.

Parker, I don't know how to tell you this.

I have never seen anything like

this happen in my entire career.

I've never seen a mistake like

this occur anywhere.

And we sincerely apologize on behalf

of the hospital and everyone involved.

What is it?

Parker, your reports are normal.

You aren't sick.

I don't know how we made

a mistake like this but

we're investigating it internally.

This is a serious matter.

We had 25 reports done

all suggesting serious illness.

And now all of them are normal.

Those are my reports right there?

Yes.

Can I get them back?

Look, Parker, don't sue us, okay?

If you'd like, we can do further tests.

That won't be necessary.

[Dramatic music]

[Poignant music]

[Door closing]

He's waiting for you.

Just up the stairs.

First door to your left.

[Eerie music]

Thank you for helping me, Jim.

Take my hand.

And repeat after me.

I, Jack Parker

I, Jack Parker

I accept you as my only ghost

accept you as my only ghost.

And from this moment on,

my soul belongs to you.

From this moment on,

my soul belongs to you.

And from this moment on,

my soul belongs to you.

And from this point forward,

my soul belongs to you.

Say it.

And from this point on,

my soul belongs to you.

It's done now.

[Dramatic music]
