Please, forgive me. This was supposed to
be temporary.

This was supposed to heal your soul.

What? No.

No, take me home.

Please, I won't tell anyone what
happened here. Trust me. You have to die

order for me to continue to live.

No, no, no.

You said that I only had to stay here
until after prom. Please, that's what

said. I can't come back here anymore.

It's too dangerous.

So this is goodbye for us, Lorraine.

Mom, please.

Your soul is with God.

Mom! Mom! Don't do this!

Ashes to ashes.

Dust to dust.

Thank you.

It wasn't her.

It wasn't her.

Hey! No worries, Dee.

Rubber fingers.

Happens to all of us.

Doesn't seem like your mom thinks the
same.

She just wants everything to be perfect.

Well, me.

She wants me to be perfect.

Sounds exhausting.

You got perfect.

I got messy.

That's what I missed.

Diana dropped the baton on the Passover.

Don't worry. I'm sure she'll do better
next time.

As long as they're having fun.

Lori has her sights set on making the
national team.

That's why we work so hard.

Can't believe Lori's not captain
anymore.

Don't know what coach is thinking.

Oh, no.

You didn't know? Oh, I have such a big
mouth.

I'm sure she was going to tell me. We
tell each other everything.

Maybe she didn't want to worry you or
couldn't find the right time. She's such

busy girl. And with finals this week and
the prom committee... I'm sure that's

it. Of course.

Are you

following me?

Going to the prom with me or what, Miss
West?

It's Queen and King, baby.

Are you crazy? My mom's watching.

You still haven't told her?

I will not.

You know, you're not exactly what she
considers prom date material, trailer

boy. Break the rules once in your life.

Come to the dark side, St. Louis.

See you at the bonfire tomorrow?

Maybe.

Well, I only turn 18 once.

I made your favorite protein shake.

Thanks,

Mom. You're the best.

That has trouble written all over it.

What did he want?

Austin?

He's a stupid boy.

He likes teasing all the girls.

I saw the way you were flirting with him
down on that track. Don't try to deny

it. I was not flirting with him.

I didn't even look at him.

Oh, really? Is that the game you want to
play with your mother?

And besides, I wasn't checking him out.

He was checking me out.

Well, you need to report him to Miss
Maria.

Look, running track is the way you're
going to get that scholarship.

We don't want to throw everything away
because some boy tried to distract you.

Of course not.

Just think.

In less than a year, we'll be college
girls.

Miss Maria thinks that if my times are
good enough, I could get a full ride at

UCLA.

Well, there's no doubt that your times
will be good enough, but I don't want to

leave our beautiful home to run away to
California.

Well, maybe you could stay and... Wait,
hold on.

Are you saying you want to leave your
mother behind? No, no, no. I didn't mean

that. You are going to state.

You're going to stay close so you can
live at home.

That's the plan.

Tell us the plan.

You're just discussing other possible
choices.

It's a school thing.

That's all.

All of our hard work.

We're not going to let anyone get in the
way of that.

I'm proud of us, honey.

I forgot to mention, prom committee's
meeting again tomorrow night. We're so

behind with decorations.

Oh, I'll be busy volunteering at the
church.

Well, they're offered to pick me up.

No, I'll take you. I just have to let
Pastor John know.

Maybe.

And hear me out.

You don't have to drive me everywhere. I
mean, I could get my license.

No, that's okay. I'm not going anywhere.

I'll drive you like always.

I'm not a little girl anymore, you know.

What? I thought you enjoyed doing things
together.

And we do.

I'm just... What?

Tired of me?

All right.

We need to talk.

I thought I've given you enough time to
say something, but it doesn't seem as if

you're going to.

So do you have something you'd like to
confess?

Um... What do you mean, confess?

What?

You thought I'd never find out.

Come on, honey.

Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you
earlier. I just, I didn't think you'd

well. Honey, come on.

No secrets between us.

Best friends don't lie to each other.

Friendship before anything else.

Always.

I want to hear everything.

Of course you've been acting strange
these last few weeks.

This is a big change.

Okay.

So, um, turns out he wasn't teasing me.
I mean, he kind of was, but, like, not

in a bad way. And he actually asked me
for him.

Wait, he asked you? Wait, what are we
talking about?

Austin, I... Wait, isn't that what you
were asking me about?

I was talking about the captain
position.

Diana's mom told me.

So you do lie to me after all. I just...
Who are you?

Mama, he asked me.

Okay, it doesn't mean I say I'd go. I
said no, I promise. You lied to me so

easily about the captain thing, and now
this?

How can I believe anything that comes
out of your mouth anymore? It was a

mistake, and it won't happen again.

You're staying home tomorrow.

They can do without you for one night.

You're grounding me?

You grounded yourself, not me.

And you know how much I hate traditional
discipline.

And now you're turning me into those
parents that I hate. I hope you're

That's for sure. You're right.

when we fight.

Me too, Mama.

You know how strict my mom and dad were.

They were so strict I used to lie to
them all the time to avoid punishment.

But you?

What's your excuse?

You didn't have the opportunity to do as
many things when you were my age,

right?

So now you want me to do all the things
you couldn't.

I don't think you understand how special
you are.

Your father and I tried for so many
years to have a baby.

When I finally gained enough hope, I
ended up pregnant with you.

You were nothing short of a miracle.

I know.

I'm your miracle baby.

That's right.

I even started going back to church.

And after your father died, I thanked
God he gave me you to be my best friend.

Mom. You know I'm thankful for
everything that you do and that we are

friends.

It's just sometimes I don't know if it's
my life that I'm living or if it's

yours. It's ours.

It's our life, honey.

Don't think you're off the hook.

You did lie to me.

Mama?

Yes, honey?

I'm sorry.

I made you turn into the parent that you
hate.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Just don't lie to me again.

It hurts too much.

I've been thinking.

I know how hard you've worked, and
things have been very stressful, and

just experiencing a little bit of
growing pains right now. That's all I

understand. Yeah, that's it.

I mean, I'm not your little girl
anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't

do stuff together.

Also, I'm okay with you going to prom
with that boy, Austin.

Really? Yes, but there will be some
conditions.

Yes. Of course.

I will be there at the chaperone. I
already told Miss Maria.

That works.

And home by 10 .30.

Ugh.

Mama, it's prom.

11 .30, final offer.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, I have another surprise for you.

Okay.

Come on.

It's a dress I always wanted. What?

How? I wanted it to be a surprise. I've
had it here since the day you picked it

out. Oh, my God.

I don't even know what to say.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I'm saving you from the dragon.

You gotta go.

She sees you.

No, I don't care.

I'll tell her how much I love you, and
she'll have to accept it.

You know how much I want to go, but I
just... Yeah, but it's my 18th birthday

party.

You gotta come.

I'll go, but just for a little.

Really?

Yeah. You can't cage this free bird.

Guess what?

My mom said you can take me to the prom.

Why did you leave me that, baby?

So, you coming?

You want to take a walk?

Get it on. What?

Party's just getting started.

Condoms.

Wow. How romantic.

I've got condoms.

What happened to getting a little one?
I'll make.

Hmm? When should we be with that baby?

Okay, okay.

We'll wait till prom night.

Oh.

Hand me your phone.

You'll need to earn it back. Same as my
trust.

I have given my life so you can dream
anything for yourself.

And this is what it comes down to? I
wasn't thinking. Do you know what it

like to have your best friend stab you
in the back?

Mom, don't say that. That's exactly what
you just did to me.

Hotel is booked for prom night.

Prom night?

Hey, Mom.

I'm sorry about last night.

After you're done eating your breakfast,
I need you to help me with something.

You know I have practice in a couple of
hours.

You were already in enough hot water
with me. Now is not the time to give me

grief.

Fine. Make sure you put on something
warm that you don't mind getting dirty.

Where the hell are we going?

Sorry.

I didn't mean for it to come out that
way.

So can I ask, what are we doing here?

There's dozens of boxes sitting down in
the old cellar. You're going to help me

sort through them to see if there's
anything worth keeping.

You've got to be kidding me.

So this place, do you ever think about
rebuilding?

You know what happened here.

The fire.

I don't even want to think about this
place.

Besides, the property isn't worth much
anyway.

Well, you never know.

Maybe one day you can do something with
it when I'm gone.

Mom, I don't like it when you say things
like that.

You suck with me.

Forever.

That's my girl.

My father built it as a fallout shelter,
but we mostly use it as a cellar.

I think you never showed it to me
before.

Nothing left to show.

You spend a lot of time down here.

What is it, like your secret hideaway?

I would not call it that.

Ugh. What is that?

The gravity compost toilet.

Come on, let's get to these boxes.

Okay.

How do I know what you want to keep?

For starters, just enter these boxes
onto that bench over there so we can see

what's what.

I've already cleared the area so you
have room to move around.

That's what you were up to this morning.

Yep.

What? Where are you going?

I'm going to let you get to work.

You're going to leave me down here?
That's not fair.

Not fair?

Do you want to know what's not fair?

You sneaking out the house last night so
you could run around with that boy.

I left you some water, sandwiches, and
snacks in the bag.

What?

What's with all this food?

I had to take some time to figure out
what I have to do.

What are you talking about? Last night
was a wake -up call.

Okay, Mom, you're scaring me. Your
little boyfriend, Austin.

Austin's not my boyfriend. More lies.
I'm not lying. He convinced you to sneak

out the house to do... I don't want to
think about what you were doing last

night. Mom, I'm not having sex with
Austin or anyone else. Is that the

why you went to run off to California
without me? Was that his idea?

Nothing to say, huh?

I'm not going to California with Austin.
Stop lying to me. I'm not lying. I

don't even know who you are anymore.

You're grounded until after prom.

What? You're going to keep me down here
for two days?

Mom! Mom, you're here!

Guys, don't do this!

I didn't want to have to do this, but
you gave me no other choice.

You can't leave me trapped down here.

It's only for two days. You have plenty
of food and water.

No, Mom!

Don't do this!

I really wanted to trust you, Lori.

I'm sorry, but you did this to yourself.

i need to keep emily safe keep emily
safe what are you doing i'm doing what i

have to convicted felon mason walker has

that's my dad you told me he was dead i
did it to protect you you can't

take me from you we're gonna get through
this we're gonna get through this

before your father finds us watch now
only on lifetime

I believe a force bigger than all of us.
God, let's push out your fate.

Cops think I murdered someone.

I want this killer found today.

Bring her back here. I won't let you
down, sir.

Something isn't right with this
investigation.

Do your job and find her.

How can you make the right decision?

I believe God wants me to help you.

Don't run.

Don't chase me.

Terry Blackstock's If I Run.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

because you're crazy.

Oh, my.

Look at the mouth we have on her.

It only proves to me that I'm doing the
right thing.

If you don't let me out of here, I will.

You'll do what?

Call child services and tell them that I
kept you from losing your virginity to

some boy with no ambition who only wants
to have a fun time with my daughter to

who I devoted my entire life to?

I worked hard.

I did.

You keep...

saying it's our life, but it's mine.

All you do is thrust all of your hopes
and your dreams onto me.

Don't make this about me.

You promised you wouldn't lie.

You told me I would have no reason to
have to discipline you.

And now for the first time, I understand
why my parents were so hard on me.

My mother was never my best friend.

She made rules and I was expected to
follow them.

And I guess that's how it's supposed to
be.

I just thought they were being mean.

But they were keeping me from harming
myself.

I never wanted to be them.

But now here we are, aren't we?

I hope you're proud of yourself.

I'm sorry, Mama.

Wait, you don't have to be like them. I
promise.

How about you come down here and then we
can talk like friends?

I can't trust you anymore.

Our friendship, if we ever had one, is
broken.

This will help you reflect on how you
want our relationship to be moving

forward. I'll do whatever you want. I
won't break up with Austin. I'll do

whatever you say.

You see, your word has no value to me
anymore.

But no need to worry.

I'm not going to keep you here like my
mother kept me.

This is only until after prom.

But two days, no.

Trust me, this hurts me more than it
hurts you.

But I cannot have you ruin our life.

There's a stranger on my property and
he's been stalking us.

He's gone now.

Rebecca, we were just discussing the
school prom.

Oh, I don't know if you heard, but
Lori's a bit under the weather, so she

be able to make it. Oh, that's horrible.

I feel so bad for her. But of course, I
will be there as a chaperone still.

Talking about being a chaperone, my
concern is who's keeping an eye on the

after they leave the prom. As I was
saying earlier, I make sure that should

boy give in to temptation, he wear a
condom.

You what?

Well, if they're going to do it, better
to be safe, you know?

I'm sorry, I do...

Any of us believe in abstinence?

I'm with you, Rebecca, but let's be
honest. Kids are kids, and no matter

say, they're bound to go out and do it.
Well, I don't want my Lori to end up

like Monica's Emma, pregnant at 17.

Well, it's not ideal, but Emma's a good
kid. She just made a mistake.

And now she's paying for it, raising
that child of hers on her own.

Well, it's not a sin to be a single mom.

I mean, look how great you did with
Lori.

I'm sorry.

Are we comparing a woman who was married
and lost her husband in a tragic car

accident who has raised her child to be
an amazing person to a loose girl who

got pregnant on prom night? Is that what
we're doing here? I'm sorry, I don't...

Okay.

Is that anything from Lori? Is she
coming?

I've been calling, but it's going
straight to voicemail.

Her mom's good friends and friends.

Apparently she's been sick.

A stomach flu.

So? She won't make it tonight.

Let me try again.

Voicemail.

Lori, Dana told me.

Um, I hope you're feeling better.

I'll come by to check on you later.

Call me to get this, though.

Never mind.

I think I see you.

Lori.

Oh.

Oh, hi.

I'm sorry. I thought you were someone
else.

Hi. I'm Miss West.

Lori's mom.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I heard Lori's not feeling well.

Miss West with Lori coming?

Well, she finally ate a little dinner.

So she's getting better, thank God.

But she still had a bad temperature when
I left. So sorry, guys. She's not going

to make it tonight.

Lori?

What? Lori?

Lori's gone.

What? What do you mean gone?

I went to check on her, okay? She wasn't
there. I looked everywhere.

Well, in what world could she be?

Well, of course she's there. She was
just laying in bed.

No, she wasn't. Okay, the bed was made
and she was gone.

You broke into my house?

Yes, sorry.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Fine,
fine. It's fine. Thank you. I will just

go look for her. I'm sure she's in the
neighborhood somewhere.

Yeah, well, I called the police.

You what?

Every minute counts, all right? I don't
want to scare you, Miss West, but she

could have been abducted.

When was the last time you saw Lori?

Last night.

Did you two argue?

Were you in a fight?

No.

I went to work this morning.

I work in landscaping part -time.

I went to the hotel to check into the
room, and then I went home to get ready,

and then straight to prom.

Ask anyone.

Was that room intended for Lori to spend
the night with you two?

We were planning it was supposed to be
Lori's first time, and

we wanted it to be special.

So you two were really close?

Yeah.

Am I in trouble?

You do understand that Lori was in her
room when her mother left, and just

an hour later, you broke into their
home, found the room wiped clean, and...

There's no sign of Laurie since.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I got nothing to hide.

Okay. Well, I think that's it for now.

You, uh, give me a call if Laurie makes
contact, all right?

Okay.

Miss West?

I don't trust Austin.

I know he's been influencing my
daughter.

First love can be impressionable.

Can you tell me about the last time you
saw your daughter? Was she acting

strange? She was sick.

Running a fever.

So of course she wasn't acting exactly
like herself.

But she was definitely home before I
left the house.

Are you taking in that boy for
questioning?

At this point, we're looking into anyone
who was close to Lori.

In these cases, the first 24 hours are
crucial. That's why we have to search

your house, just in case Lori left any
clues behind as to where she could have

gone. My daughter would have never run
away on her own, Detective.

She is a perfect, innocent girl.

She's never done anything wrong in her
life.

Ms. West, the department doesn't
normally send out a detective for a

persons report.

But since you reported a stalker in the
neighborhood last night, we're taking

this very seriously.

Now, in the court of law...

Everyone is innocent until proven
guilty.

But in my line of work, no one's
innocent until proven differently.

Even perfect girl.

I need to keep Emily safe. Keep Emily
safe. What are you doing? Doing what I

have to.

Conspected felon Mason Walker has
escaped.

My dad.

You told me he was dead. I did it to
protect him. You can't take me from him.

We're going to get through this.

We're going to get through this.

Before your father finds us.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

Please, forgive me.

The situation has gotten a bit more
complicated than we anticipated.

The police think you're missing.

The police?

They think you ran away or were
abducted.

What? No.

No, take me home.

Please, I won't tell anyone what
happened here. Trust me.

Trust you?

So when were you going to tell me you
and Austin were planning on running off

California?

You have to be honest with me.

I'm really sorry, Mom. I really, really
am.

I know now that I should have just told
you I didn't want to go to college here.

Please, please tell me that you forgive
me.

Until I figure out a way out of this,
you'll have to stay put.

What?

No.

No, no, no, no.

You said that I only had to stay here
until after prom.

I'll come by tomorrow with more food and
water.

I'll pick up some of those protein
shakes you like.

Mom, please.

Have you lost your mind?

Are you really going to keep me here in
this hellhole?

There are boxes with some books.

I spent a lot of time there when I was
your age.

Mom, please.

Take me home.

And I will.

As soon as I can.

Thank you for coming in on such short
notice.

I just want to find my Lori.

Which is why I want you to speak at the
press conference today. It makes a

difference hearing directly from the
mother.

Of course. I'll do anything it takes.

By the way, I'm happy to say that Austin
has been cleared in the investigation

as a suspect.

That's a relief.

And it's for that reason that we believe
that Lori West is missing.

So if anyone has any leads, we encourage
you to call the tip line on the screen.

Lori?

Sweetheart, if you're watching this,
please come home.

I love you.

And if anyone has my daughter, please, I

beg of you, please.

Oh, God, please don't hurt her.

Please don't hurt my baby.

Please.

Please.

He really hates me.

He lied about California.

What else did he lie about?

He's the one that found Lori missing.

You suspect Austin?

Oh, I don't know. I can't see it. I've
known the kid all his life.

He's not had it easy. Lots of family
issues. He was emancipated at 16.

He also did our new sighting.

Well, I don't like how he looks at me.

Like he's seen a ghost or something.

You're Lori's mother, so I'm sure he
sees something of her in you.

So imagine how hard it must be for him
to see your face under these

circumstances.

Austin, what are you doing here?

I don't know who else to talk to who can
relate, you know?

Are there any new leads?

Has anyone contacted you for ransom?

These people have no respect.

You really shouldn't be here, Austin.

I really believe we should be doing more
to find Laurie.

Hey, the cops don't seem to care enough.

Energy's winding down.

I think we should be using the media
more, actually.

At this point, Lori has been missing for
10 days. The police might not want to

use their resources, but we are a great
community.

So that's why we're asking for
everyone's help.

You say the police aren't using
resources.

Are they giving up?

My daughter is missing.

Someone must have seen something.

I just want answers.

Anything you want to say to our live
audience right now?

If you know Lori, please help us.

If you've never met Lori but feel like
you can do something, please help us.

There's been some speculation.

We know you're a single mother, but is
her father still in the picture, or...

Her father, my beloved husband, died
before she was even born.

She's all the family that I have left.

She's everything to me.

You're Lori's boyfriend.

Any comment on those who think you may
have anything to do with her

disappearance? The police questioned me
and... Austin was cleared by the police.

We need to focus our energy on finding
my daughter.

We plan on doing a search tomorrow.

At first light, please volunteer.

Thank you.

You're so brave for speaking your truth
like that.

I commit to you that I will be reporting
on this story as long as you keep

searching.

There's a whole other level.

We'll bring you back to a place of love.

I need you to tell me the truth.

Nobody wants to see family.

God, that woman knows how to make an
entry.

We don't do easy in this house. We do
excellent.

Mama, help me.

Please, I'm so hungry.

for 10 days.

The police might not want to use their
resources, but we are a great community.

So we are asking everyone to help us.
You say the police aren't using

Are they giving up?

My daughter is missing.

Someone must have seen something.

I just want answers.

Anything you want to say? What is wrong
with you?

unfortunately we've already gone over
budget we have no lead so

this is it

It's ready.

Lori, are you all right?

Mama, is that you?

Who else would you be expecting?

What? You haven't talked to me in days.

I've been busy.

Mama, I need to come home.

Please, I'm begging you.

I know.

That's why I'm coming to get you.

You've been down there long enough.

It's time.

But I need you to do something for me
first.

Yeah, I'll do anything.

I need you to write a letter saying that
you ran away.

You're safe, but you're ready to come
home. Why can't I just come home now?

Because you've been gone for so long, we
have to really make it look like you

ran away, or I can go to jail for what
happened. Do you understand?

Yes, Mama.

Okay. Now I'm going to lower down a
bucket with a pen and some paper.

But before I do, I need you to go into
that corner and sit. Do it now.

Now sit your hands under your behind.

And when I open this door, if you make a
move before I tell you to, I promise I

will shut this door so fast and you will
never hear from me again. Do you

understand me?

Okay, now go over to the bucket and grab
the pen and paper.

All right, now hurry up and write the
letter.

What is taking you so long? I didn't ask
you to write your memoir.

All right, good job.

Hi, Mama.

I'm really sorry for going off to
California without telling you. It was

of me to do that to you. I hope you
haven't worried too much. I promise that

I've been safe, but I've decided that
I'm ready to come home.

Hi, Rebecca.

Hi. I should have called, but I have
such good news I had to come tell you in

person. Well, what is it?

A group of us women have been writing
the mayor on your behalf, telling him

story. And he wants you to be his guest
of honor at the mayor's social awareness

dinner.

Why me?

People love you. You're internet famous.

The dinner is a big event. It'll be all
over the news.

Well, my daughter is still missing, and
people should be focusing on her, not

me. You'll be doing this for Lori and
all the other missing children out

Well, since you put it that way, I guess
I don't have a choice.

Thank God you're here, Mom. I couldn't
take another day of this.

Hey, Lifetime fam. Dr.

Pimple Popper is now on Lifetime. Let's
go. I've treated the craziest thing only

seen in textbooks.

And I'm bringing the biggest heart.
You're a strong woman. I see it. The

smile. Looks so good. And, of course,
the biggest pop.

Oh, dude. I usually get splashed. New
network.

Same pop. Can't get enough of. Let's do
it again.

Dr. Pimple Popper breaking out.

Watch now.

Only on Lifetime.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, your garden can use the attention
and I could use a distraction, to be

honest.

We don't have to talk to each other if
you don't want.

Well, the yard could use some work.

What?

You have the same smile.

Storm's coming in.

I was just going to clean out the
gutters.

Well, I don't think you should be on a
ladder in this type of weather. It could

be dangerous.

I guess you're right.

Of course I am.

I can't believe it's been five months.

Well,

it's getting dark out.

Why don't we head inside and have some
tea?

Are you sure?

I just wouldn't want to impose.

I'm sure.

Come on.

Looks like your water pipe's about to
get up.

Yeah, it's been like that for a while
now.

You want me to take a look?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, yeah, you just, you need some new
PVC pipes and some connectors.

Yeah, I could fix it with my eyes
closed.

Oh, that's very sweet of you.

Isn't this, like, fake food?

It's for camping.

You got a whole box of it down there.

We were planning a camping trip a few
years ago, and it never happened.

Completely forgot this was down there.

Well, this stuff lasts forever, so it'll
be good whenever.

You know what I mean.

Mother almost never comes down here
anymore.

I'm hungry.

I've got to do something.

I've got to find a way out of this
cellar. I've been thinking.

Sky's falling.

Yeah. You were great today.

You really didn't have to help out.

It was the right thing to do.

I like keeping my mind busy, I guess.

It's been kind of hard to... Uh -oh.

Um, let me see if I have some candles.
Would you light the fire?

Seems it's not slowing down.

Yeah.

I'm usually even more scared of thunder,
but I don't know.

Maybe I just feel safer because you're
here.

I guess.

I don't know, but I can't help but feel
like protecting you.

Thanks for letting me wait it out here.

What's the Christian thing to do?

What?

Nothing.

You just... Nothing like I thought you
were.

If you feel... I don't know.

I just want to talk to you.

Is that okay?

I can't talk. I'm at the church.

I miss church, Mama.

I know. I know.

And the sermon was so good today, too.

And you will be so proud of me. I sang
lead solo for the choir.

I don't think I did as good as you,
though.

You have such a beautiful singing voice,
Mom.

You really think so?

People always said we should be a
singing duo.

Like the McCrary sisters.

I'm ready to come home now.

Please. Okay, I've learned my lesson.
I've learned many lessons, actually, and

will never, ever act out again. Please,
you've got to believe me. Everyone

thinks you were taken or worse.

I don't think anyone will believe you
just did a little solo trip to

at this point.

But let's be honest. Your choices are
what got you here.

But thanks to you, my life has so much
purpose now.

And you did that for me.

Do you know how many families... of lost
children like you, I've been able to

help with the fundraising money?

I'm not missing.

You keep me here.

You were always such a good girl.

And I still am. I'm so pleased to be
home.

But your parents, did you lock you down
here? It was psychological abuse.

And I used to believe that.

But now looking back, I understand they
were just trying to find a way to save

me from myself.

Are you okay?

Pastor John.

Yes, I was just watching a video.

I didn't mean to startle you.

Do you have a minute?

Actually, I am kind of late. I'm
supposed to be somewhere. So can we chat

little later?

Sure.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I put some coffee on.

I'm going to be late for work.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have woken you.

Oh, it's no problem.

On my way back, I'm going to stop at a
hardware store and pick up a one -inch

connector and a small piece of PVC duct
pipe for the upstairs bathroom.

Austin, I've told you a hundred times
you've done enough.

I know, but I'm just doing it for me.

Being around you is like therapy.

Well, I never really thought of myself
as a therapist.

All these people writing you, sharing
their feelings, asking for advice.

Guess I'm not the only one.

You never know what life has in store
for you.

You have a gift, Rebecca.

Thank you, Austin.

But we can't let our God -given talents
get to our head.

Yeah, I wish I had a talent.

You go with your hands.

That's a talent.

Never thought of it that way.

Do you like lasagna?

Yeah, who doesn't?

Good, because that's what I'm making for
dinner.

Oh, you don't have to.

I insist.

Okay, then.

Hi. I was just passing through the
neighborhood and thought I'd say hi.

It's been a while.

I know.

What is time anyway, huh?

Well, thank you for stopping by, but
now's not a good time.

You have that little faith in me?

I mean, I heard the statements that you
made to the press, but I didn't think

you actually believed that of me.

I show up at your door after quite some
time, and it doesn't cross your mind I

might have some news about your
daughter's case?

Well, you would have called if there was
good news.

And if there are bad news?

I'm sorry.

It's not bad news.

My apologies.

This case is messing with my head.

You know, I've been in missing persons
for 13 years, and Lori's is the first

case that I've handled where it feels
like someone just vanished into thin

I came here to say that I am not giving
up on Lori. I don't care what county

says.

I'm missing something. It's a little
detail that's going to unlock the entire

case. That is, I just don't know yet.

Well, may the Lord guide you in finding
it, whatever it may be.

But I've been praying for this
detective.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I started keeping you here so you would
do your homework.

And then so you wouldn't run away.

So they locked you here for good.

I was in a cage to get better treatment.

I was in the sunshine for three months.

Why the hell are they doing this to me?
Am I that bad of a person?

I'm so messed up.

How does she survive?

How am I surviving?

It smells so good.

Burnt lasagna.

That looks good to me.

Now I know you can't be for real.

Before you're done, I'll just whip up
something else.

Don't go anywhere for me.

How's it going?

I think it's going to work.

Just need another couple of minutes.

It's better be important to get me in on
my day off.

Hey, um, Rebecca, has Lori walked away
somewhere? I saw a video on her

Looked like her.

Wait, what?

Whose computer?

Rebecca's. You saw a video of Lori on
Rebecca's computer.

Is that what you're saying? Yes, I just
saw it. Could you tell where Lori was?

No, not really. It was dark. Some place
confined.

And how did you just happen to be
looking at her computer?

I was doing some work around the house.

Are you sleeping with Miss West?

I saw you coming out of her house bright
and early this morning.

Look, I was really hurting, and she
helped me through a bad time.

I know how bad it looks.

I'm not proud of it.

Okay, but you gotta understand. No, you
have to understand how incriminating

this makes you and Rebecca look.

What? No, if I had anything to do with
Lori's disappearance, would I be here

right now talking to you?

Sit.

So far, all you're telling me is that
you saw some video of Lori on Rebecca's

computer. It could just be some old
video.

It wasn't a video. It was like some kind
of security cam footage.

Okay, look, I need you to get, like, one
of those permits, okay? I've seen them

in documentaries.

You can get into the computer, right?

No. Even if I wanted to get a warrant, I
couldn't get one now, not under these

circumstances. Okay, but she's got
Laurie locked away somewhere. Austin, I

you to calm down, please.

Look, it's not that I don't believe your
story. It's that I have to do things by

the book, and you're not even 100 %
certain that the girl you saw in the

was Laurie. It looked like her. Okay,
well, let's say that's true. If...

had something to do with Laurie's
disappearance. We can't spook her by

her in for questioning out of the blue.

Okay, so what? You're not going to do
anything about it? No, I didn't say

did I?

First thing I need you to do

is not let Rebecca know that you're on
to her.

Then I need to get back into that house
and find some evidence to support your

claim Meanwhile, I'm gonna look into
miss West and see if I can dig anything

for this to work She cannot suspect you
often It's gonna be hard to pretend. Can

you do it?

Yeah All right then

Get it together, Becca.

It's your turn now.

Where have you been?

I ran out of food two days ago.

This was supposed to be temporary.

This was supposed to heal your soul.

What?

What are you talking about? I need to
eat.

You have to die in order for me to
continue to live.

No, no, no.

I'm your daughter. What are you doing?

You love me. I know that deep down.

You love me.

I can't continue to come back here.

It's too dangerous.

So this is goodbye for us, Lorraine.

What?

Your soul is with God.

ashes to ashes dust to dust

Oh,

you don't have to knock.

I know, but I'm just not used to this.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, I got to finish the job.

Well, the bathroom toilet thing's fine
now.

Oh, no, it's the kitchen sink.

I remember I was going to tighten some
joints on it, and I forgot.

Last thing you wanted was a pipe to
burst in the middle of the night.

Oh, yeah, I definitely don't want that.

Okay, well, I'll let you get to it, and
I'll be in the living room. Oh, and I

was thinking tonight, maybe we order in.

Shiny?

Works for me.

All right, we need to start from
scratch.

Let's go back into Rebecca's file and
see if we missed anything.

I'll print out all the old statements.

Check if there's anything we haven't
pulled on Rebecca already. I want to

at everything.

Unpaid parking tickets, court
appearances, what her friends think of

get me her high school report card.

You got it, boss.

No one except for Rebecca saw Lori
missing after that Sunday mass.

Wait, not so fast.

Austin saw her in her bedroom the night
before prom. That was the night that

Rebecca put in the 911 call.

We're missing something.

Hey.

We were just talking about you.

You said you wanted concrete proof?

I found a box of these at Rebecca's
house.

Must be where she's feeding Lori.

Unusual, but it doesn't really prove
anything.

Well, when I saw them, I asked her what
they were for, and she said it was for a

cabin trip she planned over a year ago.

Sounds plausible.

She lied.

I also found the receipt for them. It
was dated for eight weeks ago, and the

receipt is for 30 boxes.

I only saw one of them.

Wait the rest.

Credit card number's on here, time
-stamped.

It's starting to sound like solid
evidence, even if it is circumstantial.

doesn't matter if it's circumstantial.
Can we find Lori and then she can

to what happened?

Find her alive.

We might have a new lead.

What?

Austin, I just have to ask you again.

When was the last time you saw Lori
before she went missing?

I already told you.

The night before prom.

In her bedroom.

Well, actually, I didn't see her.

You know, Rebecca, she came to the
window before I could see Lori.

So you didn't see her at all?

I guess I just assumed that I did.

That means our whole timeline's wrong.

Lori could have been missing a lot
longer. Maybe Rebecca has been lying.

This is exactly what we needed.

Let's bring her in.

Let it shine.

Let it shine.

This little light of mine.

I'm gonna let it shine.

This little light of mine.

I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine.
Let it shine. Let it

shine.

Rebecca West, you're under arrest as a
suspect in the disappearance of Lori

West.

Wait, where are you taking her?

Rebecca!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in the court of law.

You have the right to an attorney. If
you can't afford one, one will be

for you.

Find anything from the phone warrant?

We know she downloaded a nanny cam
application the day her daughter went

missing, but she's deleted all video
data. The IT forensics team is working

restoring the cloud as we speak. We need
the location of where that cam feed is

coming from.

You think she's going to talk?

She has to.

She may be our only hope of finding Lori
alive.

And time is not on our side.

If you cooperate, I could tell the DA to
be lenient, Rebecca.

She ran away.

Decided she wanted a better life than
the one that I gave her.

Where's Lori?

Everyone leaves me one way or another.

I have no parents anymore.

My husband is with God.

And now Lori has abandoned me, too.

Don't you see?

I am the victim here.

Not her.

She kept talking about people leaving
her. Why is she bringing up her parents

and dead husband?

Husband?

Find me her marriage license.

Murder carries longer sentences, even
the death penalty.

But if Lori is found alive and you
didn't force her to go, you just kept

locked somewhere this whole time, then
this could just be false imprisonment.

That's no longer than a four -year
sentence.

But a mother who killed her own
daughter?

No judge would be so understanding.

I made her from scratch.

I molded her to give her everything I
never had.

I couldn't do anything as a child.

Everything was met with harsh
punishment.

And she, she was going to have it all
for both of us.

But then she ruined that plan.

When a sculptor notices a crack in his
block of stone, they

discard it.

They just start the piece over from
scratch again.

No one asked to see the imperfect block
of marble.

They want to see the David.

Not the broken, imperfect pieces.

How can you say these things?

This is your daughter.

Not just some stone you can discard.

Oh, my parents thought they could
discard me in that cellar.

But oh, did I show them.

I rained fire of retribution down upon
them.

How are you holding up?

Besides not sleeping for 24 hours, I
just need to find something.

Well, we got Rebecca's marriage license.

What?

West isn't her birth name.

Rebecca was married to Calvin West 19
years ago and hasn't used her maiden

since. That's why we couldn't find much
in the record.

Who was she before she got married?

Johnson?

Rebecca was 18 when county police got a
call about the Johnson family farm in

flames. The fire killed the sleeping
parents, but one kid was found in the

underground cellar.

Rebecca Johnson.

She must have got out, started the fire,
and hid back in the cellar so no one

would suspect her.

And I think she's got Lori locked up in
that underground cellar on that property

right now. And time's ticking, so we've
got to move. Get on the phone.

Can you hear me?

You're going to be okay.

You're safe.

I'll get you out of here.

Rebecca Johnson is facing life in prison
without parole for the false

imprisonment of her own daughter.

Rebecca is also facing charges for the
unsolved arson of the Johnson family

farm, and in turn...

the manslaughter of her own parents lori
west is about to give a statement to

the public

even

though you might see me standing here
today i never fully came back from that

cellar then my mom held me captive in
against my will

The cellar that she would have buried me
alive in had her plan worked.

If it wasn't for the jobs of the great
detectives and the supportive community

that raised me.

And I stood in that courtroom, and I
looked my mother in the eyes, and I

see that she was the victim first.

But there's no justification for the
victim to become the aggressor ever.

My mom deserves to go to jail for the
rest of her life.

But I will not carry that sentence.

And I will trust that the judge and the
jury will.
