[footsteps treading]

[Claire] Sarah!

[Claire sobbing]

Sarah!

[sobbing]

Sarah!

Sarah!

[intense music]

[breathing heavily]

Sarah!

[Claire] Sarah?

-Sarah? -[Sarah] What?

-Where is the toaster? -[Sarah] What?

The toaster. I can't find it.

Uh, have you looked in the box labelled "Toaster?"

Uh, yup.

I think you hired dyslexic movers.

Yes.

Hey. Think fast.

-[laughs] Always! -[laughs]

You're ready? We can't be late for our day ones.

-I'll meet you in the car, okay? -Uh, mom?

What?

-Right. Good call. -[chuckles]

[pop music on car stereo]

It's like the town that time forgot.

Nothing wrong with a small town.

People know their neighbors. They help each other out.

-It's nice. -Adorable.

Is there a spot to hit your horse?

Yeah, right between the OK Corral saloon

and the Tumbleweed general store.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Uh, mom?

Do you mind if we don't walk in together?

Oh.

Of course. I get it.

Thanks.

And, uh, that's Vice Principal Porter to you.

At least between 8:00 and 3:00.

Cruel and unusual, mom. Cruel and unusual.

-Love you, Sare-Bear. -[Sarah] Love you, too.

[school bell ringing]

It's a great reports and stuff,

but, um, that's only every other week.

-Okay. -Welcome to the head office.

This is Denise. This place would fall apart without her.

-Hi, Denise. Nice to meet you. -Welcome to Mattawa High.

-Thank you. -Um, a little tip.

You might wanna go mark your, uh, yogurt in the staff fridge,

otherwise Denise will eat it, claim she thought it was hers.

[laughs]

Anyways, um, this is you.

This is great.

[Andre] Well, we're very excited

to have you join our team.

Uh, it might be a bit slower paced than what you're used to.

Oh. Well, that sounds nice, actually.

I'll let you get settled in.

If you have, um, any questions, any concerns,

I'm in the, uh, big office.

[chuckles] Thanks, Andre.

[sighs]

[indistinct announcement on PA]

[door opens]

[indistinct chatter]

[cell phone vibrates]

[Kat] Well, that's good to know.

We were wondering if you were cool or not.

Oh, it's my mom. She--

So, Chicago, huh?

Yeah. How did you know?

We're a small town. It's what we do.

So you guys have a pretty good team, huh?

-Undefeated. -That's cool.

Well, I guess you'd know.

[chuckles] Ignore Maddie. She has trust issues.

Look, first day sucks.

So if you have any questions or whatever,

don't be shy.

See you around.

[indistinct chatter]

[whispers] Okay.

¶ Dangerous ¶¶

[pop music]

[ball thuds]

-I'll see you tomorrow, Jerry. -[Jerry] Have a great night.

[indistinct chatter]

So... how was it?

Everything I dreamed of and more.

Ooh! I do note sarcasm.

You do note correctly.

Green or red peppers?

-Red. -Red it is.

Can you grab the chocolate milk? Let me get the cash.

-Hm. -Okay.

Oh, and can you get tomato paste?

[Sarah] Yeah.

Oh, shoot.

-Oh! Huh! -I got it. Here.

-You got a runner. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

Was that your daughter?

Uh, yes, that's Sarah.

Yeah, I saw her taking some shots in the gym earlier today.

I'm Ruth Simmons, I coach

the girls' high-school basketball team.

Oh. I'm Claire Porter. I'm the new vice principal.

Well, I guess that makes you my new boss.

From the sounds of it, you're doing a pretty good job.

Well, thank you.

Your daughter, she look good.

She is good. She was on the team back home.

MVP every year.

Wow! Well, that's good to know.

I could use another strong player.

We've got nationals coming up.

Uh... I don't know if she'd be up for it.

She's having a little bit of a hard time transitioning.

-Trying to fit in-- -Oh. It's the age.

My daughter was the same way.

Believe me, I am an expert on teenage girls.

-It's like I got ten of 'em. -[laughs]

Yeah. I don't know how you do that.

I only have one and I don't even know

if I'm doing a good job at that.

You know, I think only good moms ask themselves that question.

-Thank you for saying that. -Can I just...

I don't mean to overstep my bounds or anything,

but joining the team

might be exactly what your daughter needs.

And my daughter Kat during the team,

she just blossomed.

She's team captain this year.

Not to toot my own horn, but she'd be joining

a championship team.

Scouts regularly check out our games.

Number of my girls have gotten scholarships

at the top schools.

Well, that's impressive.

Tell her to come check out practice tomorrow.

If she wants.

-I will. Thank you. -Good.

-Welcome to town. -[laughs]

-Hey, I'll see you at school. -[Ruth] Absolutely.

-[Claire] Oh, this is not good. -[women screaming on TV]

[laughing]

What did...

[Claire] Oh, my gosh.

[laughing]

-You liked that one? -Yes.

-[Sarah] That's so mean! -Whatever!

Hm. This one sounds good.

-Magic tablecloth. -Oh.

-Ready? -Mm-hmm.

Hey there. Say hi to my rabbit...

Hey, that's the same tablecloth we have.

What's he doing?

Come on, Harry. Here you go.

[Claire] Oh, you're kidding.

Why does he have a bunny?

Please don't hurt the bunny.

The bunny has no idea what's going on.

I'll tell you now, it's totally real.

-It's totally a trick. -[Sarah] No, he's gonna do it.

-Abracadabra! -[both gasping]

[laughing]

That's so cool!

-That's such a trick. -No!

-That is totally a trick. -No, that was totally real.

-Mm-mm. I don't buy it. -Oh, my God!

Mm!

Remember, uh, I told you

I was talking to the coach today?

Mm-hmm.

She said she saw you

taking shots in the gym,

and that she thought you were really good.

-Really? -Mm-hmm.

And she also said that they need a shooting guard

and to swing by practice tomorrow after school

if you want.

I don't know.

Well, season's almost over, anyway.

So? Sarah, you love to play.

And I, I think it'd be really good for you.

Maybe make some friends

and show that team a thing or two.

I do have a badass team.

Just try.

What's the worst that can happen?

[exhales sharply] I guess it wouldn't be right

to let all this God-given talent go to waste.

Yes, it would be terribly selfish of you

to deny the world your gifts.

But don't you know, mother, that I have an even greater gift

than basketball?

Oh...

What are you do... No, no, no, no.

-I can totally do it. -No, no, no.

-Sarah, it was a trick. -Come on.

I'm telling you, this is

what I was born to do.

No. It was a trick.

Abracadabra!

-Oops. -[Claire laughing]

[laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

Move it! Move it! Pass!

-Sarah! Sarah! -I got it!

-Come on, come on! -[Ruth] Yes!

[indistinct chatter]

[Kat] Oh. Yes!

Good. Talk to each other. Nice shot, Kat.

You guys, I need more talking to each other, okay?

All right, no mistakes, no excuses.

-Be your best or... -[all] Stay home.

-[blows whistle] -[Ruth] Amen.

We've got Dina T. on the bench

and we need as much offensive help

as we can get, especially with Wilma next week, right?

I wanna introduce you guys to Sarah Porter.

She's just moved here from out of town and she's gonna

check out our practice today.

Show us what she's got. Right?

All right. Sarah, why don't you cover Kat?

Take it from the top. Come on, girls!

-[blows whistle] -Let's go!

Let's see what you got, big city.

-[Ruth] Go, now! -Ball, ball.

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music]

Yeah. Catch the middle.

-No! -Yes!

-Yes! -Nice. Nice.

Over here. Over here.

[indistinct chatter]

-Yes. -Come on, Kat. Step up to her.

Don't let her chase you down. Come on.

Here.

Open.

Oh, boom! Way to go, Sarah.

Yes. I like it.

[grunts]

[Sarah coughs]

Nothing without pain, girls, nothing without pain.

Come on, back up.

You okay?

Great.

[blows whistle]

[Ruth] So what do you guys think?

Sarah have what it takes to be a Viper?

-[all] Yeah. -Yeah?

It seems unanimous. What do you say?

Join the team?

-Like, right now? -Like, right now.

-Absolutely. -[Ruth] Heh-heh. Good.

'Cause we don't take no for an answer around here.

Congratulations.

You're joining something really special.

Every single one of these girls has your back

and they expect the same from you.

Okay? Okay.

This year we're taking nationals.

Come on, cap.

-Two, three... -[all] Vipers!

[indistinct chatter]

Sorry about the elbow. I practice like I play.

From now on, save it for the other team.

So, listen, we're all going to Maddie's tonight.

Her dad works nights. You should come.

Okay. Cool. I'm in.

Big city is in!

[all] Whoo!

Mom. What are you doing here?

I was too excited to wait.

-So? -I'm on the team.

-Yes! I knew it. -[chuckles]

Oh! Honey, congratulations.

I'm so proud of you. We have to celebrate.

Tonight let's watch The Princess Bride

and peg out on mint, chocolate-chip ice cream.

That sounds awesome, but, uh,

I got invited to this team-bonding thing.

-Tonight? -Yeah.

Everyone's heading over there now.

Oh.

Okay. I'm... I mean, that's great.

We can do girls' night another time.

Totally.

So is this like a, it's like a party?

-I don't know. Kinda, I guess. -[chuckles]

Is there gonna be an adult there?

-No, it's just the team I think. -Oh.

-Well, I don't really like that. -Mom.

What about boys?

What about them?

Come on. It's just the team. I told you.

-Will there be any alcohol? -You know I don't drink.

-Oh, I know. -Hey, Sarah.

If you want a ride, you can come with us.

Okay. Cool.

I can drive you.

That would literally be the worst.

Well, I want you home by 11:00.

You're being a total helicopter mom.

-A what? -A helicopter mom.

You're always hovering around me.

I am not. I am just trying to--

Mom, I'll be fine. I promise.

I love you.

[sighs]

Hm.

[instrumental music on TV]

-[line beeping] -[clears throat]

-[Sarah] Hey, this is Sarah. -[voicemail beeps]

Hey, Sarah, it's mom calling.

Um, just noticed

you haven't texted me back at all tonight,

so I just wanted to check in and make sure you're okay.

I'm sure you are. You're probably having a blast.

Um, I am heading to sleep,

so send me a text and let me know when to expect you, okay?

Oh, and don't get your hopes up.

There's absolutely no ice cream left in the house whatsoever.

[chuckles] Okay. Love you, Sare-Bear. Bye.

[birds chirping]

Rise and shine, party animal.

What? You forgot how to send a text?

[sighs]

[Claire] Good morning, Denise. It's Claire Porter.

Listen. I'm just on my way in.

I was wondering if you could check

what class Sarah has this morning for me.

Biology 205. Great.

[chuckles] Thank you. Yes, I'll see you soon.

[chuckles] Buh-bye.

[intense music]

[indistinct chatter]

[girl 1] That's not true. [girl 2] Yes.

[indistinct chatter]

[Claire] Hey.

Um... hey.

Guys, hold up a second.

Oh. Hi, Vice Principal Porter.

Uh, I'm Kat, team captain.

Hi, Kat. Nice to meet you.

Um, I was just wondering if any of you

have seen Sarah this morning.

-Um, no. -No.

I'm sorry, I just, I...

She didn't come home last night, so I thought

she just might have stayed over at, um...

-Uh, who hosted? -That's me.

Hi. So Sarah didn't stay over at your place last night?

-No. -Did she leave?

-Uh-huh. -What time?

I don't really remember. Do you remember, Kat?

It was after we did our Dream Boards for sure,

but I wasn't really looking at the time.

Did she seem upset? Did she say anything?

-No, she seemed cool. -[Ruth blows whistle]

Don't worry. She probably just skipped or something.

-Okay, Sarah doesn't skip, so-- -[Ruth blows whistle]

Sorry, we gotta go to practice.

But it was nice to meet you, Ms. Porter.

-Hey, coach. -Hey, coach.

Coach.

[indistinct chatter]

Come on, we're already late today. Let's get to it.

All right?

-[Ruth] All right, go. -[blows whistle]

[intense music]

[sighs]

Hey, is this Cindy?

Hi, Cindy, it's Claire Porter, Sarah's mom.

Yes, no... We're great, we're great.

Yes. Um, have you heard from Sarah recently?

Okay. No, no, no. No, everything, everything is fine.

[Claire] Would you do me a favor and let me know

as soon as you hear from her?

Hi, is this Bruce? Hi, it's Claire Porter, Sarah's mom.

Yeah, I, no, I just thought she, she might've

reached out and said hey.

Oh. Okay, yeah. Can you text me Rhea's number?

Hey, hi, yeah, this is, um, Claire Porter, Sarah's mom.

Uh, have you heard from Sarah?

Have you seen her online at all? Yeah, that'd be great.

Can you call me if you hear anything? I don't, I don't care.

I don't care what time it is. I need you to call me.

Yeah, I have, I have, I have checked everywhere.

I'm looking everywhere. It is just not like her.

Yes, thank you. I have called her.

Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.

What do you... Lauren? Of course, I've called...

She was the first person that I actually even...

S-Sarah?

Oh, gosh.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah.

-Uh... -Oh, I... Oh, I am so sorry.

I am so sorry. I thought you were...

[boy] What's up with that? [girl] I have no idea.

[mellow music]

[door shuts]

May I help you?

My daughter. She didn't come home last night.

Who didn't come home?

[Claire] My daughter.

You're the ones who just moved in to the, uh,

Henderson's old house, huh?

Yes. I'm Claire Porter.

M-my daughter's name is Sarah.

Please, take a seat.

This is Sheriff Mosley. I'm Rick.

Why don't you tell us what happened?

Uh, S-Sarah made the basketball team yesterday

and left to go to this team-bonding thing

with the other girls.

Congratulations to your daughter.

My niece is on the team.

What time was this?

Around 3:30.

She was supposed to be back at 11:00,

but she didn't come home last night.

So I just assumed that she stayed over

at one of the girl's places,

but she didn't come to school today, so I checked in

with the teammates and they said that they all

saw her leave last night.

Okay. Slow, slow down now.

Uh, you tried calling her.

-Right? -Yes, I've tried calling her.

I've been calling her non-stop. She's not answering.

The last time you saw her, was she acting strange?

Did she seem upset?

No, she had just made the team. She was so happy.

Hm, she probably partied too hard

and she's sleeping it off somewhere.

[Claire] No, that is, that is not my Sarah.

-She's a teenager. -I know my daughter.

-Are you sure about that? -Doug.

Look, I'm just saying.

I mean, who knows what goes on

in a teenage girl's mind?

I mean, I sure as hell don't.

Hm. Does she have a boyfriend, maybe back in...

Chicago.

Yes, an ex-boyfriend.

But I've called him and everyone else she knows,

and no one has heard from her.

What about her father? Where is he?

He...

Um, he-he, he passed away seven months ago.

Cancer.

-Very sorry. -Did you check to see--

Look, I, I have already done all of the things

you're going to ask me, okay?

I have checked with her friends.

I have... I drove around looking for her.

I have texted her, I've sent her messages,

I have checked her social media.

Sarah would not just disappear without letting me know.

That is not like her.

My daughter is missing. Do you hear me?

She is missing!

Okay. Okay.

Doug, I think we should bring in the girls from the team.

-Excuse me? -Well, they were the last ones.

To see Sarah.

Hold on here.

What exactly are you accusing them of?

Well, no one's accusing anyone, chief.

These girls are the gold standard of this town.

My niece Maddie is looking at a full sports scholarship

to Michigan State.

Well, then I hope that doesn't cloud your judgement, sheriff.

Deputy, you get her statement.

I'll make some calls.

-[camera beeps] -There we go.

-[Doug] You ready? -Mm-hmm.

[Doug] Okay, so tell me now,

in your own words, okay?

What do you remember about Sarah Porter?

I mean, and what happened last night?

Well, I invited her to Maddie's house,

and, uh, we were all pretty excited

to have her on the team.

[Kat] It's, it's more of a sisterhood.

-So we just... -Well, you can't be in here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Just don't tell Doug.

[Doug] So what time did Sarah come by?

Um, I think it was just before 7:00.

Um, just before seven o'clock.

[Doug] All right. So who's there?

-Uh, it was just the team. -No adults?

-Her dad was at work. -[Doug] Okay.

[Doug] So was this a party?

A party? [chuckles] Hardly, Uncle Doug.

We just ordered Chinese food and just wanted

to get to know Sarah.

[Doug] How did Sarah seem

when she came by?

She had this huge bottle of vodka.

And when she got there, she was just taking

shot after shot.

She was kinda just drinking

alone in the corner.

-She was getting, like... -Wasted.

And you know we, uh, we don't drink.

We signed it in honor code, so...

[Kat] I don't know. We were all pretty weirded out by it.

[Doug] Okay. Then what happened?

She was just, like, really pissy and kept drinking.

She was saying how much she hated moving to this town.

How much Chicago was so much better.

-She called us hicks. -How'd that make you feel?

Her behavior made me feel uncomfortable.

Okay.

Um, w-what did she do then?

Kat told her to go get some air and she went out...

You know, the big chair on the back porch?

She went out for some air, I guess to, like, cool off.

Yeah, we just stayed inside

and worked on our place and our drills.

I just figured, you know,

let her do her own thing.

Kat went to go check on her, and she was gone.

[Doug] She was just gone? [Kat] Yeah.

I mean, I assumed she just went home.

That's what we all thought.

-Nobody saw her leave? -No.

We all thought, for sure, she went home.

[Doug] Do you remember what time it was?

I think it was around 10:45.

-10:45. -10:45 I wanna say.

-10:45 p.m. -It was 10:45.

-[Doug] Are you sure? -Positive.

[Kat] I feel responsible.

[Doug] Why?

Well, I'm team captain.

You know, I just...

I don't know, I just, I wish I'd have done more.

[door opens]

You did good. Nothing to worry about.

Sheriff?

Wait, none of this makes any sense, okay?

Uh, what those girls were saying about Sarah, it's...

That's, it's, it's not Sarah.

-Hold on. Hold on a second. -All the things they were...

You let her watch the interview? Damn it, Rick.

-Sorry, Doug. It just-- -I-I told--

Well, you've seen it all then, okay? Look.

I've seen it a million times, all right?

Emotional teenage girl, she gets,

she-she-she, she gets upset,

she runs away for a day or two, then she calms down--

No, I'm telling you, that is not--

What kind of crap is this, Doug?

[sighs] Okay.

Her girl didn't come home, Reg. What do you want me to do?

What the hell does that have to do with Maddie and the girls?

Well, nothing, as it turns out, all right?

You've got some goddamn nerve accusing these kids.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Okay, hold off, all right? Dial it down.

-Shut up, Doug! -Don't you...

-You don't even know that! -Take it easy.

[Doug] Dial it down, Reggie.

-Who the hell are you-- -Hey!

Hey! Reggie, are you kidding me?

You back down. Her girl's missing.

You'd do the same thing if it were Maddie.

Come on.

And in front of the girls?

You should set a better example.

-Everyone okay? Girls? Yeah? -Yes, coach. Yeah.

Okay. Come on, Doug. Can they go home?

-Yeah, they can go home. -Everybody, go home. You guys.

We've got practice early in the morning, okay?

Everything's gonna be fine.

We'll talk about it tomorrow. You wait for me in the truck.

-Okay? -Let's go.

-Go home, Reggie. Come on. -Come on.

-Come on, Rick. -Go home.

[indistinct chatter]

[exhales sharply]

Claire. Claire, listen to me.

You gotta know that if my girls knew anything,

if they had anything to do with this, I would know.

I guarantee you that.

All right, you need to stay positive. Sarah's fine.

She's fine. They're gonna find her.

Okay? And you should get home just in case she shows up.

Try to get some rest.

Okay? And you know what?

If you need anything, anything at all,

you know where I am.

Okay? I mean it.

-Thank you. -Okay.

[exhales sharply]

[telephone ringing]

Come on.

[telephone ringing]

Hello? Hello?

Sarah, honey, is this you?

Honey, talk to me please.

Who is this?

-Who is this? -[call disconnects]

Hello?

-Hello? -[line beeping]

[Rick] Thanks, Margie.

I appreciate you meeting me here.

I just didn't wanna deal with the sheriff.

I understand.

So I checked your phone records,

and whoever called you used a payphone.

I'm sorry, but it could've been anyone.

You've upset a lot of people.

They're upset?

My daughter is missing.

You have to understand, uh, folks around here

are very protective of the girls on that team.

It's a high-school basketball team.

It's a lot more than that, too.

And for most of those girls,

that team is their only way out of Mattawa.

You go after the team, you go after the town.

I am not trying to go after anybody.

But, come on, I mean, those girls

are not telling the whole truth.

They're hiding something.

All their stories are consistent.

Well, that's just it, when do even two people

remember an event the same way,

let alone ten? And all those details?

Maybe they remember the same thing

because that's what happened.

Or they rehearsed it.

-Look, Mrs. Porter, I-- -Okay.

When I spoke to them yesterday at school,

none of them had any idea what time Sarah left.

Now, all of a sudden, they all remember the exact time

to the minute.

Yeah.

I have to show you something.

[exhales]

[Rick] This is Sarah stealing a large bottle of alcohol

from Reg's liquor store last night.

6:53 p.m.

You c... You can't see her face.

She's wearing the clothes you described.

[indistinct chatter]

I mean, she... She doesn't drink.

She certainly doesn't steal.

Look, Claire,

I think the sheriff might be right on this one.

All right, maybe she's just acting out.

She seems like a good kid, but...

She'll come to her senses and come right back.

We do see this often enough.

[cell phone beeps]

Uh, sorry, it's not Sarah-related,

but I gotta get back to the station.

Listen. Go home.

Okay? I'll call you if I hear anything.

I promise.

[indistinct chatter]

What the...

[dramatic music]

Yeah, I've to go through the tour again.

[Claire] Hi, um, can you guys just take that?

And that's my daughter and,

uh, I haven't seen her in a little while.

If you can just let me know. My number's right there.

Great. Thank you.

[sighs]

Oh, hey...

Have you seen her? You haven't?

Can you, can you take that with you and, and just call it?

And my number's there, just call me if you,

if you see her. Thank you.

Hi. Excuse me.

Um, have you seen her anywhere? Nowhere, okay.

Can you please let me know if you see her,

and can you share that with your friends?

My daughter's missing. My number's written on it.

If you could, um, just keep your eyes open

and maybe ask your friends...

Sir, would you mind, um...

Um, if you could let me know if you see her,

that would be great. Thank you.

She's about my height and if you see her, I...

Please call the number.

[crickets chirping]

What?

[intense music]

[music intensifies]

[doorbell rings]

[doorbell rings]

[knocking on door]

-[dramatic music] -[eagle screeching]

[birds chirping]

[music continues]

[inhales sharply]

[exhales]

[Doug] We're organizing a search party.

And time is of the essence, so we need volunteers.

As many feet on the ground as we can muster.

Base camp will be the Community Center.

Also, we've set up an anonymous hotline that you can call

if anyone has information regarding

the whereabouts of Sarah Porter.

Sarah's mother, Claire, would like to say a few words now.

If you are a person involved...

in the disappearance of my daughter

or you know anything about it,

I am begging you to please do the right thing.

I just want my daughter back.

Sarah...

if you're watching this...

Oh, sweetie, I-I miss you so much.

I hope that wherever you are, you are safe and warm.

And, honey, I want you to know that I will never

stop looking for you.

I won't.

I, I just won't.

I w... I...

[reporter 1] Mrs. Porter? [reporter 2] Mrs. Porter?

Thank you all. Uh, no questions.

-One more question. -Do you have any leads?

[reporter 1] Mrs. Porter?

[indistinct chatter]

-That's us right there. -So we're here.

-We're gonna have three groups. -Okay.

One, two and three.

[Claire] Well, then how long does it actually take?

[sighs] Claire.

-I am so sorry. -[Claire] Thank you.

-Um-- -What can we do?

Y-you guys all came out?

-Of course, we came out. -Yeah, Sarah's one of us.

We all just... We wanted to help.

Thank you.

[Rick] All right, everyone, listen up.

Thank you all for coming.

Well, so Sarah went missing Thursday night,

so she couldn't have gotten that far.

We're gonna get out there, we're gonna cover as much ground

as we possibly can.

We're gonna separate into three groups.

Each assigned with very specific areas

highlighted on these maps.

Each group leader will be given a walkie-talkie

so we can stay in constant communication.

Let's keep our eyes and our ears and all of our senses open.

Stay vigilant.

Let's find Sarah.

[helicopter whirring]

[eagle screeching]

Sarah?

[Rick] Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah!

-Sarah! -Sarah!

-Sarah! -Sarah!

-Sarah! -Sarah!

-Sarah! -Sarah!

Sarah!

-Sarah! -Sarah! Sarah Porter!

[woman] Sarah!

Sarah!

[woman] Sarah!

Sarah!

[music continues]

Whoa! Be careful.

You don't want to fall. It's very slippery.

Your hands are freezing.

-Oh. I forgot my gloves. -[Ruth exhales]

Here. Take mine.

-No. It's okay. -You sure?

Yes, I'm fine. You, you'll need them.

Thanks.

I hope we don't find her.

What do you... What do you mean?

If we don't find her, there's a chance she's still alive.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

[helicopter whirring]

[water gurgling]

[man] Sarah!

[girl] Sarah!

-Hey. -Hey.

-You holding strong? -Mm-hmm.

Yeah, look at me.

It's just like on the court.

All right? You're lost in your head...

-You've lost the game. -That's right.

-Mom? -Yeah?

Stay here.

[instrumental music]

[groaning]

-Sarah! -Coach?

-Oh. -C-coach.

-Sarah. -Coach, please, please help me.

-Are you okay? -Um...

My leg hurts really bad, um...

Do you remember anything? Do you remember how you got here?

I fell...

I woke up and I didn't know where I was.

-I walked for a while-- -Okay.

-Please help me. -Okay.

-[shushing] -Please--

Okay, just... You stay right here.

I'm gonna go get help.

No. Please take me with you, please.

-Can't move you. Can't move you. -Please. Please.

-I'm really scared, please-- -I can't move you. It's...

I'm gonna get help. You're gonna be fine.

-I'll be back, I promise. -Please.

-Stay here. -Please.

Sarah, I'm gonna be right back.

-Stay there. -Coach. Coach.

[Sarah] Don't leave me.

[Sarah sobbing]

[Sarah] Please don't leave me.

[sobbing] Coach, please.

Don't leave me, please.

Don't leave me...

[instrumental music]

[Sarah sobbing]

C-coach...

Coach?

What are you doing, coach?

[gasps]

[sobbing]

[Sarah] Coach?

Please don't close. Please.

[sobbing] Please...

Mom?

You told me she was dead.

-She's not gonna make it. -What are we gonna do?

We've to call somebody or do something--

No, no, no. We're not calling anybody.

[sobbing]

You have any idea what's gonna happen

if she walks out of there?

You go to prison for a very long time.

-[sobbing] -Your life will be ruined.

She's still alive. We have to do some--

You already lied to the police.

[Ruth] Are you willing to throw your whole life away

for that girl?

The lives of all of your teammates for that girl?

[Rick] Group two, you find anything? Over.

[sniffles]

[Rick] Group two, find anything? Over.

-[beeps] -No.

Nothin' in this area. Over.

[Rick] We're calling in for today. Over and out.

[sobbing]

But...

[sobbing]

-[Ruth] My baby girl. -[sobbing]

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

[Kat sobbing]

I promise.

Oh... Okay.

Okay.

All right, let's go.

[sobbing] Where are you going?

Please, please, no.

Help me...

-Good morning, Steve. -[Steve] Hey.

-[Steve] How you doing? -Good.

No Kat today?

No.

No. Yesterday was hard on her.

-She was upset. -Hey.

So we're gonna head a few miles further south today.

Down the escarpment, it's a densely wooded area

and, I don't know, I feel like we could have

missed something from the air.

Okay.

Hey, don't you think that...

You don't think we should stay along the river?

And if Sarah found the river, don't you think

she would follow it down?

It's a good point.

Okay. Let's head further downriver then.

-Okay. -Hey, folks, change of plan!

We're going to, uh, we're gonna be headin' downriver.

-You guys have all your maps? -[man] Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

Sarah!

[Claire] Sarah!

Sarah!

[Rick] Sarah!

[man] Sarah!

[dramatic music]

[man] I found something over here.

-What's that? -Easy, easy, easy.

We don't know. Right now it's just a canoe.

[sighs]

That's Sarah's phone.

Ranger, I need to get everybody down here

to search every inch of this riverbank.

[woman] Okay, you got it, Rick.

Also, call the divers, we need to drag this river.

[woman] Come in, base camp. Come in, base camp.

[man] Base camp, copy that. Over.

[woman] We found an abandoned canoe on--

[Rick] Claire.

-Claire. It's just a precaution. -No.

[woman] And we're gonna need a diver.

No.

-Claire... -[Claire] No!

-Do it now. -[Claire] Sarah!

Hi, honey.

You remember that lullaby you used to always sing to me

when I got sick?

I sang that to you ever since you were a baby.

Ballyeamon.

Would you sing it to me?

Of course.

¶ Rest ¶

¶ Tired eyes a while ¶

¶ Sweet is my baby's smile ¶

¶ Angels are guarding ¶

[birds chirping]

[kettle whistling]

[door opens]

Claire?

Coach.

How are you holdin' up?

I've been, uh...

I've been playing this whole thing over and over in my head

and, and there is just one thing

I can't make sense of at all.

What was Sarah doing way out there in the woods?

I have no idea.

I need to ask you something.

And I need you to be honest with me.

Of course.

Where did you get that?

That girl killed herself

because of what your team did to her.

That was a very long time ago.

You were the coach then.

And that haunts me...

every single day, but I dealt with it,

and every single one of those girls were suspended.

What if something like that happened to Sarah?

What if it upset her so much she ran off?

No.

No way.

No way. I would know.

Those girls trust me. They tell me everything.

How can you be sure?

There is no hazing on my team...

or on any team here.

Hazing is strictly forbidden, zero tolerance.

If I knew anything, I would tell you.

I'm not sure I believe that.

I was in the army. Did you know that?

Deployed to Iraq. Only woman on my squad.

On my first night there, I was tested.

I was tested beyond what you could even imagine.

But my fellow soldiers needed to know if I could be broken,

and I wasn't broken.

I earned their trust.

And it took me years to figure it out,

but... what they did...

it was a gift.

It made me strong. It made me a survivor.

It is a tough world out there, Claire.

And I'm just trying to prepare my girls for it.

But they're not soldiers.

They're 17-year-old girls playing high-school basketball.

I don't see a difference.

Claire, I'm a mother.

And I can only imagine what you're going through.

Oh.

You just have to know that your Sare-Bear...

she loved you so much.

How did you know I called her that?

Like I said...

these girls tell me everything.

Go home, Claire.

Stop fighting windmills and go home.

-[drawer creaks] -[rattling]

And, Claire...

leave my girls alone.

[dramatic music]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[sighs]

[keyboard keys clacking]

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. What?

You're Claire Porter?

Yes.

M-my son Patrick goes to school here.

I heard about your daughter.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I hope this isn't indelicate of me,

but... I run the funeral home in town.

Funeral home?

Whenever you're ready,

we are here to help you in this most difficult time.

What...

What are you saying?

I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to...

To what?

You didn't mean to what?

How dare you?

There's no, there's no body,

so there's nothing for you to bury.

Do you get that?

There is no body...

because my daughter is not dead!

Okay? Sarah is alive!

What is the matter with you people?

Claire, I...

I think it would be best i-if you took some time off.

-What? -Paid leave, of course.

Andre, I can't sit in that house all day. I will go crazy.

How long?

Just enough time

for you to recover from...

To recover from this.

This, you don't recover from.

I-I didn't mean it that way, I--

You know what?

I'm gonna make this easy on you.

I quit.

[crow cawing]

[engine revving]

[vehicle approaching]

[man 1] Yeah. [man 2] It was on a Tuesday.

[man 1] H-how can they do that? Dope garage.

How can they tell you what you can and cannot do

to your garage? Makes no sense.

[man 2] It's a city.

[man 1] Yeah, you said a mouthful there.

[man 2 sighs]

[inhales] Help.

-[man 2] You ready? -Help.

[indistinct chatter]

[man 2] Yeah, absolutely-- [Sarah] Help.

[man 1] Yeah. [man 2] I think she followed...

-Help. -[motor revving]

[sniffles] Help me.

[panting] Help.

Help.

Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

-Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! -Please.

-Chug! Chug! Chug! -Come on!

What... [panting]

[dramatic music]

-I know you sent me the video. -What are you doing here?

You need to tell me what happened to her.

Tell me what happened to Sarah.

Tell me! You tell me.

Tell me!

[sobbing]

-Tell me! -[sobbing] Okay.

We invited her out that night.

[sobbing] Look, we were gonna initiate her,

but Sarah had no idea.

-We forced her to drink and... -[chanting]

And then we blindfolded her and we merged her through the woods.

-[clamoring] -[Sarah sobbing]

[Kat] And you know where we brought her to...

-Trust Cliff. -No.

Okay, my mom named it that when she brought

her first squad there, it's where all the girls are taken.

It's where all of the girls go.

-[clamoring] -What are you doing?

Everybody was freaking out, eating it up, so was I.

[sniffles] Then, then the real initiation starts.

What? What did you do? What did you... What did you do?

[sobbing] They asked her to trust her sister

and lean in to the, in to the, the nothing.

[clamoring]

And, and she kept asking me over and over and over again

to pull her back in.

[clamoring]

Please stop! Stop!

And I was going to, I wanted to, but...

-[all laughing] -[Sarah screams]

-No. -I didn't mean to.

[inhales sharply] She just... She fell...

-No, no, no, no. -Just went over. She just fell.

-I didn't do it. -No, no, no, no.

-[sobbing] No. -It was an accident, I swear.

[sobbing] I never meant for it to happen.

It was an accident.

-No. [sobbing] -[Kat] I'm sorry.

[sobbing] No...

[engine revving]

[Claire sobbing]

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

There's something else.

That day that we were all looking for her...

my mom and I found her in, like, this, this shack thing.

What?

What? What are you saying?

My mom told me she wasn't gonna make it.

What? A shack? Where is the shack at? Where?

Um, it was upstream from the water. I don't know.

Is Sarah... Is she, is she?

-I don't know. I'm sorry. -Oh, my God.

-Oh, my God. -[Kat] I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I--

I don't care!

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]

[breathing heavily]

What did you do?

[breathing heavily] Nothing.

What did you tell her, Kat?

Nothing.

What did you tell her?

[sobbing] I-I'm sorry, I couldn't do it anymore.

That's okay.

[Ruth grunts]

You're willing to throw everything away?

Everything? For who?

Some girl you don't even know?

What are you thinking?

I protected you! I've done everything!

[sobbing]

Kat?

-Kat. -No, don't touch me!

-No! -Don't touch me!

[dramatic music]

[engine revving]

-Where's Rick? Rick? -Mrs. Porter.

-I told you we'd be in contact-- -Rick!

Watch this! [panting]

[girls] Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

-Okay. -Where are you, baby?

Let's start from where she's not. All right.

The search party was split into three groups.

Group one canvased here, group two here,

group three here, so that cancels those.

Okay, which one had coach in it?

[sighs] She's group two.

Okay, then that's where we look. That's where Sarah is--

No, the canoe was found by Burk's Falls.

-No, she planted it there. -What, coach?

Okay, I know Sarah is here. I know it.

It's still a needle in a haystack.

Okay. Kat...

Kat said that Sarah was in some kind of, um,

shack thing or-or a cabin.

That wouldn't be on a map like this.

And she just said a shack, Rick. A shack.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

There was Chuck Eagan's old hunting spot.

But-but-but it's probably rotted out by now.

That's, that's a two-hour hike from the cliff at least.

Oh, no, that's too long. That's too long.

Come on.

[dramatic music]

[whirring]

[helicopter whirring]

Ollie can get us there in 25.

Okay.

Ollie, you're a lifesaver, buddy.

[Ollie] No probs, Rick. Anytime.

[man] Q-33, you are clear for take-off.

[helicopter whirring]

[dramatic music]

-How close are we? -We're almost there.

Okay.

Hold on, baby, I'm comin'.

[music continues]

[helicopter whirring]

Come on, baby. Where are you?

There. That's-that's the shack. That's gotta be it.

How close to that clearing can you get us, Ollie?

[Ollie] I can get you 30 feet from the tree line.

Hold on, baby. Hold on.

-I'm gonna get you out-- -[Ruth] Move.

Move.

What are you doing?

I need you to move.

Ruth, y...

You don't have to do this.

Yes, I do.

[Claire] No, you don't. [Ruth] Move. Claire.

Put the gun down.

Ruth... [breathing heavily]

-[Ruth] Claire. Claire. -Ruth.

-Ruth, listen to me. -Get out of the way!

-No. I'm not moving. -Get off of her--

-Put the gun down! -No. Move.

-I am not moving! -Move!

I have to finish what I started. I need you to move.

-No. -Now.

-I won't. -Ruth, put it down.

No!

Move! I need you to move! Please!

You are gonna have to shoot me.

[mellow music]

Move.

Abracadabra.

Move!

Okay!

[breathing heavily] Okay!

[groans]

Okay. Okay.

[Claire breathing heavily]

[Claire] It's o... It's okay.

-Mm-hmm. -It's o...

Oh, my God. Sare-Bear?

Sarah? All right.
