Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Presents.

Why did God not fix your eyes?

I don't know.

I asked him but he didn't say.

Will you teach me to swim?

Water is a dangerous place.

And I wouldn't be a good teacher.

Can you swim?

I used to, when I was your age.

I'm gonna swim in the ocean.

Will you?

We never go anywhere.

Briar?

Briar!

Don't do that 'cause when you do under mommy can't find you.

And I'm, I'm supposed to keep you safe.

Just don't do that baby, please.

Don't do that.

I'm supposed to keep you safe.

Beck's gonna be here all day.

We're having dinner together.

Are you getting married?

Not for a long time.

Mama wants you all to herself.

-Is he here? -Yeah.

Go help him.

Gonna give me a hug?

Aw Merry Christmas!

-Merry Christmas. -How you doing?

-Good. -Good.

-I got gifts. -Hey Merry Christmas!

-Ahh. -You got them?

-Yeah thank you. -All right.

-I'll see you later? -Yup, see you later.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah, we're going to open these.

It's going to be so fun.

Um, how 'bout um pretend this is a bed.

Pretend, but it's just flattened.

I got one more gift.

You're spoiling her.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Don't forget to say thank you.

Alright.

What is it?

It's a bike!

You got her a bike?

Yea, it's a bike not a motorcycle.

Got her a helmet.

-Can I ride it? -Yeah,

you wanna go get your jacket?

You ready for your gift?

You've given me enough already.

What's this?

Will you marry me?

We talked about this.

I mean, yeah,

we said we wanted to, to be together, we agreed-

We do.

I just don't want things to change.

This is our house.

I know these walls, we're safe here.

I mean, I, I could, I could move in.

I don't think anything would have to change.

I'm sorry.

I'm not ready for the life that you want.

Just tell me what happened.

Come on.

Here you go.

All right, just be careful, okay.

I know you're scared.

I want to take care of you and Briar.

I don't want your help.

I don't need your help.

I know.

You are the strongest person I've ever met.

Wait for me, Briar.

Please.

Listen I get it, you've been hurt.

But we can go slower.

I'm not going anywhere.

I wanna be here for you.

Claire, you, you love so well.

But you hold on too tight and I'm,

I'm just afraid you're going to suffocate

everything that's good.

Merry Christmas, Claire.

Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas. -I'll see you soon, have fun.

-Uh-huh. -Okay?

Briar?

Briar?

Do you have your helmet?

No.

We're going to have to wait for someone

to come watch you, okay?

I'm not scared like you.

Come on, let's go, sweetie.

Can Briar come to my house to play?

Just have her back by dinner, okay?

Okay.

You're probably right.

I want you back by dinner, Briar.

Stevie!

Stevie, come here.

Want some ham?

So did your sister make it up?

Every year without fail, she's here.

And she puts up with me.

Well, you're a good host.

Is that gentleman joining you?

No.

No, it's just us.

Uh, would you please send Briar home?

Briar went home over an hour ago.

Joyce walked her.

You didn't walk her?

Why didn't you make sure she got home okay?

The girls always walk together.

Let me go get Stan.

Stan!

Stan!

Briar!

Briar!

Briar!

Briar?

Briar.

Briar!

Briar?

Briar!

Briar!

-Briar! -Briar!

Briar!

In the yard.

Claire.

Claire.

Claire.

It's gonna be okay.

She ever go to anyone's house without telling you?

No.

No, I taught her never to talk to any strangers without me.

She has a small scar on her arm,

if that helps.

You said she was wearing a red dress?

Yeah.

Does the father need to be notified?

Briar doesn't have a father.

Your boyfriend,

was he here all day?

Uh-huh.

He left right before dinner.

What time was that?

I'm sorry.

Don't say sorry.

Off the porch, what's the Black guy doing here?

-You're a mother. -I'm her boyfriend.

If my Hooper went missing,

I'd set the world ablaze to find him.

It's a mother's right.

We're all clear.

What can I do?

I can't just-

Take care of yourself.

Eat, sleep.

You wasting away won't find her.

You need anything, anything at all,

you call in, ask for me.

The Lord says, "Seek and ye shall find".

They wouldn't let me in.

So we got three class B sex offenders

living within a 10 mile radius.

Let's go knock on some doors.

Briar!

Come on boy, find her.

Come on.

Come on, Stevie.

-Briar! -Briar!

-Come on, Stevie. -Briar!

Briar!

-Briar! -Briar!

-Hey Quinc. -Gentlemen.

You see any of them here tonight?

This guy.

Abel.

He's a regular here.

Think he works at the hardware store up the street.

Anything else?

That's it.

Thank you.

Yup.

I'm on, uh, inventory most nights uh, I don't sleep much.

Where were you earlier?

Before your shift?

Uh, I was at the steakhouse.

You know for a Christmas dinner,

um, steak and three sides $15.99.

Anybody see you there?

Anyone we can call?

Uh, yeah Gabe uh,

Gabe from uh, gardening.

He was there.

Got his number?

-Briar! -Briar!

Briar!

Stevie found something.

Come on, Stevie.

They'll bring bloodhounds in.

Stevie's a trained scent dog,

only one for about 100 miles.

Briar!

Officers, officers, we have a description.

I watched her go in.

He had a big winter coat?

I don't know.

It kinda looks like him.

She said she saw Briar's grandpa.

No.

No she, she doesn't have a grandpa.

Told her your parents died long ago.

She saw an old man leave with her.

She assumed he was her grandpa.

You should go rest.

I can wake you in a few hours.

Claire.

Hey, where are you going?

Claire!

Claire.

What are you gonna say?

Claire?

Ora?

What the hell?

It's past midnight?

Have you been here all night?

What's going on?

Is she in there?

Is my daughter in there?

Briar?

Briar?

Are you in there?

-Briar! -Claire, Claire, hey.

-Briar! -Claire, come on.

You can't just keep knockin' on doors, Claire.

You just can't.

He's always around.

He's always just lurking.

He has a basement.

He has a shed.

Why not search it?

I have no proof, I've got nothing on him, Claire.

He fits the description, Walker.

Yeah 70% of this town fits the description, alright.

Just let me do my job.

Like you did so well before.

Mama.

Can you see me?

Briar?

Can you see me?

Mama.

Briar?

Briar?

Briar!

Briar?

Briar?

-Briar! -Claire!

-Claire. -Briar!

Claire, what are you, what are you doing?

-Someone's out there. -What are you doing?

-Someone's out there. -What?

-Someone's out there! -Okay, okay just stay here.

Briar!

Briar!

Briar!

But no broken locks or windows?

No hidden keys?

No.

Not with any neighbors or friend?

Briar, Briar has one, but why would, why would she...

Did Beck notice anything missing?

Not that I know.

But it's been 12 hours and you don't have...

Well we've been knocking on doors all night, Claire.

But what about the woods?

Who's actually looking for my daughter?

I've got every officer available out there.

It's not enough.

We're looking every county from here to Indy.

It's not enough.

Beck was here all day with you yesterday?

He had dinner with his uncle.

His uncle?

Elijah Harris over in Creekside Village,

Beck's been living with him.

So he was here with you all day yesterday

and he didn't hear nothin' or see nothin'?

He heard the dog barking, but, where's Stevie?

Stevie?

Stevie!

Stevie!

Stevie.

Stevie!

Stevie!

Stevie!

Stevie!

We should give the tag to walker.

No, I don't trust him.

It's wet.

Were you working here last night?

Yeah.

I'm about to get off.

Now Walker's been here.

I've answered all his questions.

Were you here all night?

Stan let you sleep here?

Yeah sometimes.

Cleaning out my dad's place.

The big blue house on Broadway.

He was a, he was a hoarder.

You didn't see a little girl

crossing the field with her friend?

A short girl.

Nah, I, I saw nothing.

Claire, come on.

I didn't see your little girl or your dog.

I didn't say anything about my dog.

Hey!

You sure that's what he said?

Yes.

Why would he mention Stevie?

Listen, we'll um, we'll go talk to Walker.

He won't listen, Beck!

It'll be just like before.

Let's just go home.

You don't believe me.

I can hear it in your voice.

No, no, I do believe you.

Where'd you go after you left my house?

I, I went and walked the lake.

For three hours?

Why are you asking me this?

It just doesn't make sense.

You were walking around the lake for three hours?

I needed to clear my head.

All while Briar disappears.

You sound like the police.

Everything alright?

Yeah, it's okay.

We're okay.

You okay, Claire?

You should go.

What?

Wait.

Claire, where you going?

Claire.

You don't have Stevie.

Don't go past what you know.

In 50 feet,

turn left on Broadway Street.

Turn left on Broadway Street.

You have arrived.

Turn right on South Franklin Street.

You will arrive-

No.

Are you okay?

Who can I call?

Hun, Walker's here.

Claire, what happened?

Abel, he knows about Stevie.

How can he, how can he know about Stevie?

Abel Patterson?

He's been living in the,

in the house across from the elementary school.

His dad just passed.

He's been living in the house across from Briar's school.

Couldn't have been long is all I'm saying.

Length of time isn't my concern.

There's a predator living across

from the elementary school.

That's a problem.

Alright.

We'll look into it.

Let's get ya out of here.

I want your word.

You have my word, I'll talk to him.

Hoop.

Here.

All right, let's get her home safe.

I can find my own way.

It's gonna get dark.

It's always dark.

You warm?

What were you thinkin'?

Out there all alone.

Where's your boyfriend?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Hey!

You can let me out.

You can let me out here.

What?

Oh no, no, no, no.

Let me out, let me out.

We're almost there.

Let me out.

Let me out.

You have to leave your dad's.

You can't be across from a school.

You can only go there and clean with a court-appointed aide

which will cost ya.

I can't afford the place as it is,

let alone finally get it clean enough to sell.

There's good people around, good people to help ya.

Not me.

You didn't see Briar Moyer on Christmas?

You pass her house on your way to your dad's.

You never saw her play in the front?

Mm-mm.

I never saw her.

Saw the Black guy out front.

Well, we both ate Christmas supper at the senior center.

They had a sponsored ham dinner.

What time was that?

It was from six to eight I think.

I can ask Judy about the times.

Thank you.

Beck would never, Sheriff.

Not ever dream of it.

Where was Beck, before dinner?

I don't know.

He said he was at the lake.

No one saw him come or go, is that normal for him?

He likes to walk.

He's a thinker that one, like his mom,

so I'd say it's normal.

Normal.

Even on Christmas?

He and Claire had a, had a fight,

or disagreement?

They might have, but uh, that's for them to tell.

I was just hoping you could maybe tell me something.

Hey, Beck here.

Leave me a message and I'll get back to-

Damn it, Beck.

Claire.

What's going on?

Here, sit, sit.

I spoke with Abel and he's clear.

He has alibies, and he's not allowed

at his father's place anymore.

I know who raped me.

You do?

Ever since I was little,

I've heard patterns in noises.

A lot of them sound the same,

footsteps up stairs,

clock ticking, water splashing,

but there are some noises,

laughter, the wind,

they sound familiar, but never the same.

I heard something that night.

I've only heard once.

I know how hard it is to prosecute

after this many years with no witnesses

so you've gotta be sure, Claire.

You don't have to believe me,

but will you check the DNA?

Is this Briar's?

Who's DNA am I checking?

Hooper.

Officer Hooper?

Will you do it?

Okay well, now if I check Beck's car

or room, are you sure I'm not gonna find anything

of Briar's in there, anything at all?

No.

Okay, well I heard you guys had a fight.

It wasn't a fight.

I was, I was just suffocating the good.

We're going to be entering from the southwest side

of the woods.

Walk arm's length apart through the woods to the north.

If you see anything that looks like it might be evidence,

don't touch it!

Alert myself or a nearby officer.

Walk slow.

Be aware of your surroundings and be alert.

Alright everybody, let's go.

Mornin', Walk.

Mornin', Reece.

Come on in.

You have breakfast?

That's okay.

I wanna get down to the searches.

Hoop here?

No, he left already.

Something I can help you with?

No.

No, I'll see you down there.

I'm comin' now.

I'll walk ya.

Is Hooper still seeing that Gingrich girl?

Nah, they weren't a good match.

He needs a suitable woman, a good wife.

I'm praying, praying every day

she comes around.

Beck?

Nope.

Nah, it's me.

You didn't move for hours.

I had to check your breath.

Any word on Briar?

They're still searching,

but family isn't supposed to join.

Where's Beck?

I thought he was with you?

I haven't seen him in days.

What's going on?

Claire.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know anyone anymore.

You know him, he couldn't have done this, right?

-You know him. -No.

I don't know, you live long enough

you find that people are capable of anything.

No.

No, no, no, Beck didn't do this.

That morning, um, Christmas morning.

I saw something, a police car,

sitting right down the street from your house,

just sitting there like, like it was on lookout.

Like it knew something was gonna happen.

Break 'em into small groups of four or five.

Let's spread them out and cover more ground.

I told him, I warned him since he was little.

He never listens.

These stories don't end well for us.

Is Abel here?

No, he's at the Bulldog.

Abel?

You knew about my dog before anyone.

Your probation will extend,

you will lose your father's house.

I'll never stop.

I didn't, I-I-I-I don't know where she is.

You know something, just,

it's eating you up inside so just tell me where she is.

Where is she?

Where is Briar?

Tell me.

This is beyond you.

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

What?

What?

You should've, you should've kept your dog away.

You know?

He was getting too close.

I was just supposed to take him, that was all.

Your dog was too close to the river.

You searched it yet?

Craig, I've been waitin' on you.

The car returns to Beck Harris.

What did you find?

Well we've got a dress, backpack and this.

Everything's wet.

We're looking for Beck Harris.

Black male, 31, 5' 11".

His last known location was Wakefield Bridge

on the Potawatomi River.

Briar Moyer is believed to be with him.

He's likely armed and dangerous.

There's 3,000 acres of water within 60 miles.

We need bodies out on every stream, river, and lake.

I don't like that, I don't like toast.

I don't want it.

I'm not even hungry.

Sheriff Walker.

Your DNA results are ready.

Thank you.

Briar.

-Briar? -Mama.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Do you wanna go home?

Okay, come on, come on, Briar.

Okay.

Baby, come on.

We've gotta, come on.

We can't leave him.

Who?

Oh God.

-Briar? -I'm here.

Okay, baby, um...

Let's go to the river.

Right now!

Briar.

Briar.

Briar.

I can't, I can't, I can't.

I can't, I can't.

You have to listen to mommy.

Okay, you have to trust mommy.

You have to go back into that house.

Mommy needs to get help.

If they see you're gone, they'll look for you.

I'll come back for you, I will come back for you, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Mommy's gonna come back.

Can you go to the house, baby?

Yes.

Okay, run!

Run, run, run.

Okay.

25-1, does anyone have eyes on 25-6, Office Miller?

Dispatch, 25-6,

Officer Miller, what's your location?

Stand up.

Show me your hands.

Now turn around.

Why?

Why'd you have to go lookin'?

Why couldn't you have just given up?

It's a mother's right.

Think of your daughter, Claire.

I am.

I did what I had to do.

You told me to stay silent.

You told me there wasn't any use for a rape kit

because there's no way we could ever find him.

Hey!

You said a manhunt would destroy me,

but the only person it would destroy is you.

Now I see.

Why'd you take her from me?

Knew she'd be better off here.

Your dog had to go, of course.

Paid a man.

Even he failed me.

Been planning it since you started seeing him.

He will never be her father.

It's my blood,

my boy's blood.

Ma, I'm home for lunch.

There she is.

Hey, ma?

Get back here!

-I'll take good care of her. -Hey!

Mother to mother, I promise.

Hey, come back here.

Someone's here, take her.

Please take her.

They can't find her here.

I don't want this.

You're okay, littles.

I didn't do this.

You owe me this.

Come on.

Come on.

Hi Craig, Walker.

Is Hooper here?

No, he's down at the water search.

They're hungry.

You know when he's gonna be back?

Nah, I don't keep tabs on him.

25-1, does anyone have eyes on 25-6, Officer Miller?

Dispatch, 25-6,

Officer Miller, what's your location?

Dispatch, all units King County,

we've lost contact with 25-6.

Last known location 55618th road.

Dispatch, all units, does anyone have contact with 25-6?

No eyes on 25-6.

Forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

Mama!

Mama.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be held against you

in a court of law.

Beck!

We need medical assistance immediately!

Wake up, sleepy heads.

Do I have to?

Do we have to wake up?

Yes.

Get in here.

-You ready? -Yeah.

Pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal.

I'm doing it, mama.

I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
