MAN: Hey, kids, do you know
what time it is?

-GIRL: What time is it?
-BOY: What time is it?

MAN:
It's time to say...

Aubrey?

* Good morning, good morning *

* Good morning, everyone *

* Good morning, good morning *

* Good morning to the sun *

* Good morning... *

Aubrey, honey?

-* It's time to say "Hooray!" *
-(table clatters)

-* Good morning, good morning *
-(glass crunches)

* It's time to start our day *

* Every night
we brush our teeth... *

Aubrey?

* Every day we see the sun *

* And then we go outside *

* Good morning, good morning. *

Aubrey?

Aubrey?

Aubrey!

Aubrey!

COLTER:
Sierra?

Hi. Colter Shaw.

Thank you for coming.

You helped my friend Liz.
She gave me your number.

I didn't know what else to do.

You can get me up to speed.

Yeah, okay.

My daughter Aubrey
went missing last year.

December 10th.

I woke up and she was just gone.

There was blood on the ground.
No answer.

No body, nothing.

I had a look at the case.

Well, then you know.

I don't judge.

Thank you for that.

That was taken a week
before she went missing.

She wore that dress everywhere.

She wouldn't even
let me wash it.

You want to show me
what you found?

Yeah.

SIERRA:
I took the trash out

yesterday morning, and...

...and it was just there.

You were
lead suspect at the time?

That's why, when I found it,
I called you

before the police.

Look, they think
I did something to Aubrey

and tried to hide it.

And I had no way
to prove my innocence.

The police report said
that you had been drinking

pretty heavily
the night she disappeared.

Yeah. Yeah, I was... drunk.

Passed out on the couch
that night.

-The blood on the ground?
-The police tested it.

-It was Aubrey's.
-Okay.

Any idea how it got there?

I broke a bottle.

She must've
cut herself on the glass.

But I don't know.

I-I've been over that night
a thousand times,

and... and it's
all just a blank.

Like a lot of
my nights were back then.

Police have their theories?

A lot.

Look, I know I should
burn in hell for how selfish

I was, but...

I swear to God, I've changed.

I'm-I'm ten months sober now.

-That's good.
-Mm-hmm.

No mention of the father
on the police report.

That's right.

He died of an overdose
before Aubrey was born.

Who do you think
might've put the dress there?

I don't know.

Any other suspects?

The police looked at everything.

They talked to everyone I knew.

They found nothing,

and they let
the whole town think

I had something to do with it.

If they had any evidence,

they would have charged you.

Look, whoever put
that dress up there

might know where Aubrey is.

Year's a long time.

I know what the odds are.

But I've tried
everything to find her.

I've... I've even gone
to a psychic once.

I can't give up.

I have to believe that she's
still out there somewhere.

You know?
(cries)

Will you help me find her?

I'll help you.

We have to call the police.

We have to tell them
what you found.

It'll be much worse
if this comes out later.

I know.

So I'll call them,
tell them the truth.

(sirens chirping)

They're gonna turn your house
into a crime scene.

You'll be arrested
for the murder of your daughter.

(handcuffs click)

They won't charge you
right away,

they'll question you.

That'll give me time to find out
who put the dress here.

SIERRA:
Okay,

if that's what we have to do.

-(car door closes)
-(engine starts)

COLTER:
I'm gonna help you
through this, okay?

I'll do everything I can.

* *

(whistles)

-Hey there.
-Hey.

Tyson West,
lead detective on the case.

You're the one
who, uh, called this in?

Colter Shaw.

And what's
your connection to Sierra?

She hired me
to find her daughter.

-Some lawyer put you up to this?
-No.

-No?
-She found the dress,

she thinks there might be
somebody out there

that knows something about
her daughter's whereabouts.

Whereabouts.

It's more likely than not
you're gonna find a body.

Well, let's hope not.

Yeah.

Okay, and she hired you
to look into it?

Right,

with the understanding
that there would be

a police investigation.

Oh.

This is Arthur Poness,

the original detective
on Aubrey's case.

-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.

Detective West brought me in
to consult on this one.

Retired, but this was my case.

-Terrible thing.
-Mm-hmm.

Sierra told me
about the investigation.

Funny how this dress
just appears now

-after all this time.
-TYSON: Neighbors across

the street
haven't seen anyone here

except Sierra.

Well, if you're
suggesting that it's her,

I-I don't think so.

-Doesn't make any sense.
-Well, people do strange things

when they're living with guilt.

I've known Sierra
since high school.

She's always loved attention
and got a lot of it

when Aubrey first went missing,
but now it's drying up.

Mm.

You questioned her during
the original investigation.

No other suspects.

No other suspects.

You got any fingerprints
back here,

anything at all
linking her to the dress?

(sighs)

Nothing so far.

Look, I don't want to believe

a mother would kill
her daughter either,

but it is what it is.

Well, maybe
it's not that simple.

(scoffs)
Yeah, okay.

Well, Mr. Shaw, we appreciate
you calling this in,

but we have a suspect
we need to question.

All right, I'm headed back
to the station.

Don't let Tyson
rub you the wrong way.

He's young.

He'll learn
that it doesn't matter

who helps get you to the truth

as long as you get there.

I get it.

Walk you through
what I'm seeing?

-Suppose I could hear you out.
-Okay.

Got a smudge right here.

Somebody jumped the fence.

ARTHUR:
Could be anytime.

-Look at this.
-Okay,

bike tracks.

Again, not uncommon.

Tracks are fresh, though,
aren't they?

Looks like he came in
from here, laid the bike down.

And then kicked themselves
over the fence, right?

You're thinking
whoever was on that bike

-is the one
that planted the dress.
-Could be.

All right,
I'll give West a call.

It's his show.
Don't want to step on toes,

-know what I mean?
-Yeah, got it.

(line rings)

RANDY:
What's happening, Colter?

-Hey, need a favor.
-Of course.

Always ready to punch in
the clock for you.

-What's up?
-Trying to find out

who was in the alley behind

Sierra's house
the night before last.

I got bike tracks coming in.
Looks like the bike

was laid down
and then rolled back out.

Staring at a security camera

across the street.
Can you access it?

One sec.

All right, got your location.

I see the security camera.

Let me sync you up.

-All right.
-Scanning through the footage.

Wait, wait, ho-- Go back.

COLTER:
Right there.

What the...?

Is that a kid?

Looks like it.

Is this like
some kind of sick prank

or something?
Yo, what ever

happened to,
like, ding-dong ditch?

He knows something.

I can't get an ID

with that hoodie on.

And he's keeping his head down.

There's a logo on it.

Can you figure out what it is?

Yeah.

Captain Calabash?

(typing)

It's a restaurant.

Here, I'm sending you
the address now.

Thanks, Randy.
I'm on my way there now.

Tyson.

Detective West.

Where were you last night?

I was at an AA meeting,
came home and went to bed.

You're wasting your time
investigating me.

Well, I have
to establish a timeline.

Of what?

Hmm?

Me putting that dress out there

and turning myself in?

Why would I do that?

I don't know, maybe you had
an attack of conscience.

I've seen it before
in other cases.

You should be out there
trying to find my daughter.

Hmm.

You recognize this?

Why do you have
my personal stuff?

Just answer the question.

It's my workbook
for the 12 steps.

It's part of my recovery.

Yeah, well, here's the part
that caught my eye.

You wrote,

"On nights like these,
I can finally admit to myself

it was my selfish actions
that killed Aubrey."

You want to tell me
what that means?

'Cause it sure sounds
like a confession.

That journal's private.

It's part of the program,
reflecting on responsibility.

Mm-hmm, and I see that.

(sighs)

I didn't murder my daughter.

No, you just killed her,
like you wrote.

I was a bad mom.

Okay? That's-that's no secret.

-No.
-And I'm trying to own that.

And every day I live
with the guilt of knowing

that if I hadn't have been
passed out drunk that night,

she'd still be here.
That's what I meant.

And you're a son of a bitch
for twisting my words like this.

Yeah, well, it doesn't
take much twisting.

(door opens)

I think that's enough.

Excuse me, who...?

Reenie Greene,
Ms. Allen's attorney.

I'd like a private consultation
with my client

before any further questioning,
thank you.

That means you're done here.

Thanks.

Okay.

So, um, it's okay.
I'm friends with Colter.

He said that
you may need a hand.

But it's gonna be a little bit

more complicated
than that, okay?

-What do you mean?
-Well, with the dress

and that workbook,

they have enough
to charge you now.

-That's what I was afraid of.
-I know.

But I am preparing a motion
to suppress the workbook

from evidence, okay?

It's hearsay and completely
taken out of context.

Okay.

So what do I do now?

Now, you wait

for Colter to find out
who planted that dress.

-Hi.
-Hey.

-What can I get you?
-Yeah, I was wondering, um,

if you know who that is.

-A kid in his teens.
-Uh-huh.

Spencer.

-What's he done?
-Spencer.

Does he work here? I got
a couple questions for him.

One second.

Spencer.

Get over here.

(starts motor)

OWNER:
Spencer.

COLTER:
Spencer.

Your boss told me
where you live.

What do you want from me?

I want to know what the hell

you were doing
with Aubrey's dress.

I got video footage of you.

I know you were
at Sierra's house.

You do something
to that little girl?

No way, man, I would never.

How'd you get the dress?

I found it, okay?

I recognized it
from the missing person poster.

I thought
if I hung it there and,

you know, left it,

Aubrey's mom would find it
and something would happen.

Something did happen.
She's in police custody.

I heard.

That's not what
I wanted to have happen.

Where'd you find it?

I found it in my backyard.

I think my dad
did something to Aubrey.

You think your dad took Aubrey?

I mean, I never saw her
or anything, but...

...yeah, I-I don't know, maybe.

You've seen your dad do
bad stuff like that before?

Yeah, you have?
Like what kind of stuff?

He chopped
my uncle's fingers off once

'cause he thought
he was stealing from him.

No. Wait, stop.

-(chops)
-(uncle screams)

Where's your uncle now?

He doesn't come around anymore.

Think he's scared
of my dad, too.

I-I didn't know what to do.

I-I thought about
going to the police,

but if my dad found out...

-Is your dad home?
-No, he's at the service yard

-at the marina.
-Just the two of you

-living here, you and your dad?
-Yeah.

My mom ran off
when I was little.

Can you do me a favor?
Can you, can you point

to exactly where you found
the dress? You tell me?

Was out back, near the, uh,

old storage shed.

Was sort of caught under there.

If my dad finds out
I let you in...

Okay.

You hang here,

in my truck, you lock the doors,

stay low.
I'm gonna go check it out, okay?

Okay, but you got to be quick.
He's gonna be back soon.

Be right back.

(line rings)

Detective West.

Wait, hold-hold up. Hold up.

You're saying Spencer Flint
put the dress in her yard?

Yeah, I'll explain later.

(dog barking)

Why in the hell
would he do that?

He was gonna go to the cops,
but he was afraid of his dad.

Yeah, Trevor Flint.

The guy's got a long rap sheet.

Multiple assaults.
He and his brother

used to run coke off the coast.

Nasty piece of work.

-Connection to Sierra?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He, uh, he was one of the guys

Sierra was seeing
back in the day.

And by "seeing,"
I mean "partying with."

-You question him?
-Of course.

Yeah, but we, uh,
we cleared him.

He had an alibi. Said he was on

a fishing trip with his buddies.

Boat company confirmed
the rental was out.

Hmm. Well, you got
something now.

Hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Yeah, we're on our way.

All right, see you soon.

(dog continues barking)

TREVOR:
The hell you doing, boy?

Hey!

Easy.

Easy.

Who the hell are you?

Colter Shaw.
I don't want any trouble.

TREVOR:
Yeah?

Should've thought
about that before

you grabbed my boy
and decided to trespass.

Sierra Allen hired me

to find her daughter Aubrey.

What does that have
to do with me?

SPENCER:
I told you, Dad,

-he's not a cop.
-Shut your mouth, boy.

Tell you what. Tell you what.

Why don't,
why don't you let him go, okay?

You and I'll just talk.

I ain't got nothing
to talk about with you.

Missing girl's dress
was found on your property.

(dog barking)

(both grunting)

(sirens wailing)

(dogs panting)

(indistinct police
radio chatter)

I got nothing to do with
what happened to that girl.

Wasn't even in town
when she went missing.

You might want to recheck
his fishing trip alibi.

Mm.

He could've anchored offshore,

snuck back into town overnight.

It's tough but not impossible.

The kid said he found
the dress over here.

Thinking maybe the dog crawled
under that hole right there,

smelled the blood,
brought the dress back out.

We got the cadaver dogs.

If the dress was here,
her body might be, too.

TREVOR:
Hey, that stuff isn't mine.

My brother keeps
his crap in there.

Couldn't even get to the shed
before I had Spencer clear out

the bull thistle last week.

Your brother Derek, when's
the last time you saw him?

Hell if I know.

Had a falling out
about a year ago.

About the same time
Aubrey went missing.

Yeah.

-Tell me what you did with it.
-I didn't do nothing.

TREVOR:
He took money from me.

Money that wasn't mine.
Left me on the hook for it, too.

DEREK:
No, wait.

Stop!

-(chops)
-So I had to get out of town,

clean up the mess.

That's your fishing trip?

Call it what you like.

But when I came back,
he was gone.

Haven't seen him since.

Yeah.

TREVOR:
Odds are,

Aubrey's in there.

What's over here? Aubrey's shoe?

There's something else
over there.

What do we got?

(sighs)
Looks like Aubrey's hair.

COLTER:
Got hair dye.

These tags for... boys' clothes.

What, you think we're looking
for more than one kid?

COLTER:
I don't think so. Look at this
date on this receipt here.

The same day
as Aubrey's disappearance.

Okay.

So, what, he changed her,

cut and bleached her hair?

I don't think he was
planning on killing her.

He's going on the run with her.

-Which means...
-Aubrey could still be alive.

The suspect we're looking
for is Derek Flint.

He should be considered
armed and dangerous.

We believe he's in possession
of the little girl.

Top priority is finding him

and recovering
Aubrey Allen unharmed.

Leave no stone unturned.
Let's go.

I feel like Aubrey
showed up on Derek's radar

once Trevor and Sierra
started seeing each other.

ARTHUR:
If he did take her, though,

he's gonna be long gone.

Could be in Mexico
for all we know.

Yeah. You believe Trevor's story
about his brother robbing him?

I don't know.

His boy said he remembered
his dad and his uncle

getting into it about something.

Maybe it wasn't
about money, right?

Maybe it was about
taking Aubrey.

TREVOR:
We put out an APB,

and we're tracking down
all known associates,

see if anyone knows anything.

Working on the warrant for his
credit cards and phone records.

Warrants take some time. I got
a guy who can do it quicker.

Well, whatever
you're about to do,

I don't want to know about it.

But if it gets a faster result,
I can look the other way.

-Yeah.
-ARTHUR: Looks like
we owe you an apology.

Keep thinking if I'd have
looked into Derek a year ago,

we wouldn't be so far behind.

I just didn't think
there was a connection.

The only thing that matters
right now is that Aubrey

might still be out there,
she might still be alive.

I'm gonna head home
and look over my old files

and see if I missed
anything else.

Flint brothers used to haunt
McBrinnley's Pub off of 49.

That's a good idea.
I'll go check it out.

Let us know how it goes
with your guy, Shaw.

-Yep.
-Keep each other in the loop.

-Thanks again for the assist.
-Yeah, you bet.

(line rings)

-What's up, Colter?
-Randy,

need you to run a guy for me.
Uh, Derek Flint.

Look into his credit cards,
his cell phone activity.

Looking for a location.

Got you, partner.

Activity coming right up.

Huh.

-What do you got?
-Zero credit card

activity in the last year.

What about his phone?

Nothing since

the day after
Aubrey's disappearance.

All right, so he ditches
his phone, credit cards

before he goes on the run.

You got his last location?

Let me find out.

Okay.

Two miles north of
the Flint property.

Looks like
it's right on the shoreline.

But that was like
a year ago, dawg.

There's no way he's still there.

Well, you got to start
somewhere. Send me the address.

-I already did.
-All right, thanks.

(shuts off engine)

* *

* *

*

* *

Wow.

Yeah, that's some real

One-Eyed Willy
action right there.

Okay, so how do we know

that Crab Trap Skeletor
is actually Derek Flint?

He's missing the two fingers
that his brother cut off.

Okay. And what about Aubrey?

No, no sign of her.

All right,
so-so what are you thinking?

Shot at close range,

there's a small-caliber
entry wound.

I think maybe... maybe Derek
was gonna hand her off

to someone, they had second
thoughts about paying him.

Hey, do me a favor.

Can you tell me
who owns this land?

Let's find out.

One sec.

Blue Creek Holdings.

It's-it's a trust.

A trust.
Okay, who established it?

(typing)

On it. On it.

All right, some dude named

Arthur Poness.

That's crazy.
Says here he's a retired cop.

Yeah. Randy, I got to go.

Shaw.

Got squat out of McBrinnley's.

Found Derek Flint's body.

He's dead.

Yeah, I found him on a piece
of land owned by Arthur Poness.

What was Derek Flint doing
on Arthur's land?

I don't know.

He was executed,
body was hidden.

I think Poness killed him,
took off with Aubrey.

Look, I-I've known the man
my whole career.

There's, there-there's no way.

H-How is that possible?

Yeah, maybe he's not
the man you thought he was.

It would explain
why he couldn't make a case.

Right?

What would he want
with that girl?

Maybe he got in too deep
on a bad deal.

Maybe Derek double-crossed him

like he did his brother.

Either way, I'm headed
to Poness's right now.

I'll meet you there.

Oh, hey, don't call this in,

all right? We don't know
who else from the department

Poness might be working with.

Sorry it had to come to this.

What the hell
did you do, Arthur?

(rattles)

* *

* *

* *

(sighs)

(line rings)

REENIE:
Hey, Colter?

Reenie, you with Sierra?

Yeah, we just got to her place.

I need to talk to her.

Okay, she's right here.

Colter?

What's happened?

Aubrey's alive.

Oh, my God.

She's been living
with Arthur Poness and his wife.

Wait, Detective Poness
has Aubrey?

I don't understand. How?

Is Poness Aubrey's grandfather?

Staring at a family photo
right now

of the Ponesses and their son.

Aubrey looks
an awful lot like him.

Sierra, if there's something
you haven't told us...

Their son...

Jason is Aubrey's father.

I wasn't sure at the time

because of
my lifestyle, but, yeah.

And why didn't
you tell us before?

Nobody knew.

I found out I was pregnant
after Jason died and...

...I never told them
or anyone he was the father.

Well, Poness must have
found out somehow.

They always hated me.

They blamed me
for what happened to Jason.

Well, they didn't
leave here too long ago.

I think Arthur
and his wife took Aubrey,

and they're on the run.
I'm going after 'em.

Oh, God.

-(sighs)
-(line rings)

West, is that you?

ARTHUR:
I want you to let me
and my family go.

Poness.

-Where's West?
-He's fine.

I was keeping an eye on him when
I should've been watching you.

-What'd you do to Aubrey?
-I promise you, she's in

very good hands.

She's safe, loved.

-We take care of her.
-You kidnapped her?

I saved her.

From Derek Flint?

I was checking out Trevor.

Instead, I found Derek.

That monster had our
granddaughter. He was gonna do

unspeakable things to her.

-So you knew about Aubrey.
-We had our suspicions.

My wife Iris saw them at
the grocery a few weeks before.

Girl looked just like
our son Jason at that age.

When I saw her with Derek,

I knew Sierra
wasn't a worthy mother.

Aubrey's hands were all cut up

from Sierra's
broken booze bottle.

That's how that blood
got all over her dress.

I couldn't let Aubrey
go back to that house.

That's not your call
to make, Arthur.

I saw she drew
her mother as an angel.

What'd you tell her--
she-she died?

Seemed easier on the girl.

You didn't see

Sierra back then.

She was killing herself,

going down that dark path
like Jason did.

So drunk, a man could

walk into her house
and take her daughter.

I felt sorry for her,

but I couldn't let Aubrey
go back into that situation.

She's not like that now.

Ten months of sobriety
doesn't make a stable home.

What's your plan, Arthur?
What are you gonna do?

You gonna keep running
with a little girl?

If I have to.

You're putting her in danger.

You know that, right?

What are you gonna do
when she gets older,

just keep lying to her?

We'll worry about that
when we get to it.

I can't let you
take her, Arthur.

You're giving me no choice.

Arthur, you don't
have to do this.

What are you doing?

-(Tyson groaning)
-What did you do?

Tried to avoid
hitting anything major.

Guessing Tyson has about
30 minutes, tops.

You got a choice to make.

You can come after
Aubrey, who's safe.

Or you can save a dying man.

(Tyson gasping)

-Arthur? Ar...
-(line clicks)

-Yo.
-Randy,

West is in trouble.

I just sent you his cell phone.

Can you give me his location?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, got you.

Come on.

Got it.

Sending you a pin now.

All right,
I'm about 40 minutes away.

I'm gonna head over there,
I'm gonna stabilize him.

Call an ambulance. Do it now.

(Tyson groans)

West?

West?

TYSON:
Shaw.

(Tyson coughing)

Shaw.

-Hey.
-Shaw.

You're all right. I got you.

I got you.

Hang in there, all right?

I got an ambulance
on the way, okay?

Here you go. This isn't
gonna feel good. You ready?

All right? Deep breath.

Here we go.

-(grunting)
-All right.

Here you go.

All right.

Listen to me.

Poness is smart, right?

He knows there's
gonna be roadblocks everywhere,

police looking for Aubrey.

Does he have
a piece of land, property,

somewhere he could be
hiding out at?

He has a boat. I've been on it.

He keeps it in
the East Bay Marina.

His boat's called the Eurydice.

-East Bay Marina. Okay.
-(police sirens approaching)

Keep pressure
on that thing, okay?

Hey, hey!

-Down here!
-Go, go.

Yeah, ambulance
on the way, okay?

(gunshots)

Iris, we got to go!

Fire up the engine, Iris.
We got to go.

We got to...

You're not gonna
take her from us.

Where's Aubrey?

Stop, Arthur.

It wasn't supposed
to be this way.

ARTHUR:
Yeah.

IRIS:
Aubrey, honey, come out here.

Aubrey.

It's okay.

AUBREY:
Grandma, Grandpa,

are we safe?

IRIS:
Yes, sweetheart.

(crying):
You're safe.

Well, that stranger just saw me.

ARTHUR:
Everything's gonna be okay.

This is Mr. Shaw.

Hi, Aubrey.

* Whoo *

* Whoo-hoo-hoo... *

LYNN:
Yeah.

Good job.

Yeah. Look at Ruffles.

-We'll just be a minute.
-Thank you.

(sighs)

Hey,

um, we're just gonna give Aubrey

a couple more minutes
to get comfortable,

and then Lynn the social worker
is gonna come do

a supervised visit. Okay?

She's a good kid.

You did something right.

Give it some time.

I've seen
a lot in my line of work,

some I wish I hadn't,

and one thing
that I know for sure--

recovery is not linear.

Okay?

* Did I do something wrong? *

Hey.

Was at the hospital
paying a visit

-to Detective West.
-How's he doing?

He's got a long road
ahead of him. He'll be okay.

Wanted me
to, uh, send his apologies

for ever blaming you.

REENIE:
Well, Sierra's been

working with CPS,

and we've got
a plan all thought out.

So we're gonna show the court

that this is gonna be a safe
and stable home for Aubrey.

-Good.
-(phone vibrates)

REENIE:
Oh.

Um...

Sorry, I've got to take this.
Excuse me a minute.

Thanks, Reenie.

Thanks.
Hi, this is Reenie.

* Now I'm sitting in sorrow *

* And you haunt me
like a ghost... *

It's not your fault.

I wasn't there
when she needed me.

Well, you're here now.

I can't believe Arthur
got everyone fooled for so long.

Now he's gonna
have a lot of time

to think about what he did.
He and his wife.

Yeah.

You know,
I sort of understand them.

They thought they were
keeping their family together,

but in the end
they tore it apart even more.

Mm.

Yeah, I suppose sometimes

people do the wrong things
for the right reasons.

You know something about that?

I might.

* But it won't be today *

* Maybe tomorrow... *

You got a lot of lost time

to catch up on.

I can't
thank you enough, Colter,

for bringing her back to me.

Take care of her, okay?

Do you want to say hi
to your mommy?

-Hi.
-Mommy!

* Whoo-hoo-hoo *

(Sierra chuckles)

* Whoo-hoo-hoo *

* Hoo-hoo *

(mouths)

* Whoo, whoo-hoo-hoo *

* Whoo-hoo-hoo. *
