Aubrey?

Aubrey, honey?

Colter Shaw.

Thank you for coming.

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

I didn't know what else to do.

Can you 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 to look at the case.

Well, then you know.

I don't judge.

Thank you for that.

It 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.

the trash out yesterday morning and... and it was just there.

Your lead suspect at the time?

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

Before the police.

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.

I passed out on the couch that night.

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 have cut herself on the glass.

I don't know. I've been over that night a thousand times, and it's all just a

blank.

Like a lot of my nights were back then.

Police have their theories?

A lot.

I know I should burn in hell for how selfish I was, but I swear to God, I've

changed. I'm ten months sober now.

That's good.

Mm -hmm.

No mention of a father on the police report.

That's right.

He died of an overdose before Aubrey was born.

Who do you think might have put the dress there?

I don't know.

Any other suspects?

The police looked at everything.

They talked to everyone I knew.

Found nothing.

They let the whole town think I had something to do with it.

If they had any evidence, they would have charged you.

Whoever put that dress up there might know where Aubrey is. Here's a long

I know what the odds are.

But I've tried everything to find her. 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?

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.

You're going to turn your house into a crime scene.

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

They won't charge you right away. They'll question you.

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

Okay.

That's what we have to do.

I'm going to help you through this, okay?

I'll do everything I can.

Hey there. Hey.

Tyson West, lead detective on the case.

You're the one who called us in? Colter Shaw.

And what's your connection to her? She hired me to find her daughter.

Some lawyer put you up to this? No. No? She found the draft. 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 going to 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 Ponis, the original detective on Aubrey's case. Hi. Nice to

you. Detective West brought me in to consult on this one.

Retired, but this was my case.

Terrible thing.

Sierra told me about the investigation.

Funny how this dress just appears now after all this time. Neighbors across

street haven't seen anyone here.

Except Sierra.

Well, if you're suggesting that it's her, I don't think so. It doesn't make

sense. 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

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

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

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.

Yeah, okay.

Well, Mr. Shaw, we appreciate you calling us in, but we have a suspect you

to question.

All right, I'm heading 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.

Smudge right here.

Somebody jumped the fence.

Could be any time.

Look at that.

Okay, bike tracks.

Again, not uncommon.

The tracks are fresh, though, aren't they? I think he came in from here, laid

the bike down, and then kicked themselves over the fence, right?

You're thinking whoever's on that bike is the one that planted the dress. Could

be.

All right.

I'll give Wes the call.

It's his show. I want to step on toes, know what I mean? Yeah, got it.

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.

See the security camera?

Let me sync you up.

All right. Scan it.

Footage. Wait, wait. Go back.

Right there.

What? Is that a kid?

Looks like it.

Is this like some kind of thick 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.

He's keeping his head down.

There's a logo on it. Can you figure out what it is?

Yeah.

Captain Calabash?

It's a restaurant.

Here, I'm sending you the address now.

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

Tyson. Detective West.

What were you last night?

I was at an AA meeting, came home and went to bed. You're wasting your time

investigating me. No, I have to establish a timeline.

Of what?

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.

Seen it before in other cases.

You should be out there trying to find my daughter.

on my personal stuff. Just answer the question.

It's my workbook for the 12 steps. It's part of my recovery.

Now, here's the part that caught my eye.

You wrote, on nights like these, I can finally admit to myself it was my

actions that killed Aubrey.

You want to tell me what that means?

Because this just sounds like a confession.

That journal's private.

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

And I see that.

I didn't murder my daughter.

No, you just killed her like you wrote.

I was a bad mom.

Okay, 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 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

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

I think that's enough.

Excuse me. Reanie Green, Miss 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.

So, um, it's okay. I'm friends with Coulter. He said that you may need a

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 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 created that trap.

Hi. Hey. What can I get you? Yeah, just wondering if you know who that is.

Kidnapped teens. Uh -huh.

Spencer.

What's he done? Spencer. Does he work here? I got a couple questions for him.

Spencer!

Get over here.

Spencer.

Boss, tell 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?

Wait, man, I would never. How'd you get the dress?

I found it, okay?

I recognized it in 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.

It'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...

I don't know, maybe.

You seen your dad do bad stuff like that before?

Yeah, you have? Like what kind of stuff?

Chopped my uncle's fingers off once.

Because he thought he was stealing from him.

Where's your uncle now?

He doesn't come around anymore.

I think he scared my dad too.

I didn't know what to do. I thought about going to the police.

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,

and your dad?

Yeah.

My mom ran off when I was little.

Do me a favor. Can you point to exactly where you found the dress? You tell me.

It's back near the storage shed.

Sort of caught under there.

My dad finds out he let you in.

Okay. You hang here in my truck.

Lock the doors, stay low.

I'm gonna go check it out, okay?

Okay, but you gotta be quick.

He's gonna be back soon.

Be right back.

Detective West.

Wait, hold up, hold up. You're saying Spencer Flint put the dress in her yard?

Yeah, I'll explain later.

Why in the hell would he do that?

He was going to go to the cops. He was afraid of his dad. Yeah, that Trevor

Flynn. You guys got a long rap sheet. Multiple assaults. Seen his brother used

to run coke off the coast.

Nasty piece of work.

Connection to Sierra?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was one of the guys Sierra was seeing back in the day.

I've seen him. He'd party him with.

Question him? Of course, yeah. But we cleared him.

He had an alibi.

Said he was on a fishing trip with his buddies.

The boat company confirmed the rental was out.

Well, you got something now.

Hey, hey, hey. What?

Yeah, along the way.

All right, see you soon.

What the hell are you doing, boy?

Hey!

Easy.

Easy.

Who the hell are you?

Colter Shaw.

I don't want any trouble.

Yeah?

Should have 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?

I already told you that. He's not a cop. Shut your mouth, boy!

Tell you what.

Tell you what. Why don't you let him go?

Okay? You and I will just talk.

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

Missing girl's dress was found on your property.

Thank you.

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

Wasn't even in town when she went missing.

You're not one to recheck a swishing trip, Alibi.

He could have anchored offshore and snuck back into town overnight.

It's tough, but not impossible.

Kid said he found the dress over here.

Thinking maybe the dog crawled under that hole right there, smelled the

brought the dress back out.

We got the cadaver dogs.

The dress will see her body might be, too.

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 was 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.

He took money from me.

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

No!

No! Please!

Stop!

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.

Odds are, Aubrey's in there.

It's over here.

Aubrey's still?

Something else over there.

What do we got?

Looks like Aubrey's hair.

That hair dye.

These tags from boys' clothes.

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

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

Same date as Ivor's disappearance.

Okay.

So what?

He changed her.

Couldn't bleach her hair.

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

He's going on the run with her. Which means? Ivor could still be alive.

The suspect we're looking for is Derek Flint.

He should be considered armed.

I'm dangerous.

We believe he's in possession of the little girl. Top priority is finding him

and recovering Aubrey Allen unharmed. If no stone unturned, let's go.

I feel like Aubrey showed up on Derek's radar once Trevor and Ciara started

seeing each other. If he did take her, he's going to be long gone. Could be in

Mexico for all we know.

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

I don't know.

His boy said he remembered his dad and his uncle getting into about something.

Maybe it wasn't about money, right? Maybe it was about taking Aubrey. We put

an APB and we're tracking down on our associates, see if anyone knows

Working on the Warren first credit card's in form right now. It's going to

a long time. I got a guy who can do it quicker.

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. 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.

Only thing that matters right now is that Aubrey might still be out there.

might still be alive.

I'm going to head home and look over my old files and see if I missed anything

else. Flint Brothers used to haunt McBrenly's pub off of 49th. That's a

idea. I'll go check it out.

Let us know how it goes with your guys, Sean. Keep each other in the loop. Any

screen for the assistant?

Yeah.

What's up, Colter?

Randy. I need you to run a guy for me.

Derek Flint. Look into his credit cards, his cell phone activity.

Looking for a location.

Got you, partner.

Activity coming right up.

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.

Got his last location?

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, dog.

No way he's still there.

You got to start somewhere. Send me the address.

I already did. All right, thanks.

Wow.

Yeah, that's some real one -eyed willy action right there.

OK, so how do we know that crap -trap Skeletor is actually Derek Flint?

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

OK. And what about Aubrey?

No, no sign of her.

All right, so what are you thinking?

Shot at close range with a small caliber entry wound.

And I think maybe Derek was going to 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?

Find out.

One sec.

Blue Creek Holdings. It's a trust.

A trust.

Who established it?

On it. On it.

All right. Some dude named Arthur Pony.

It's crazy.

It says here he's a retired cop.

Yeah. Randy, I gotta go.

Shaw.

Got squad on him. Run these.

I found Derek Flint's body.

He's dead.

I found him on a piece of land owned by Arthur Ponus.

What was Derek Flint doing on Arthur's land?

I don't know.

He was executed.

Body was hidden. I think Ponus killed him. Took off with Aubrey. Look, I've

known the man my whole career. There's no way that... How is that possible?

Maybe he's not the man you thought he was.

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

Right?

What do you want with that girl?

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 Ponis'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 Ponis might be working with.

Sorry I had to come then.

What the hell have you been doing?

Hey, Coulter? Rina, you with Ciara? Yeah, we just got to her place.

I need to talk to her.

Okay, she's right here.

Coulter? What's happened?

Aubrey's alive.

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

Detective Poneth has Aubrey? I don't understand how.

Is Poneth Aubrey's grandfather?

Starting to have a family photo right now of the Ponuses and their son.

Aubrey looks an awful lot like him.

Sierra, is there 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, Poneth must have found out

somehow.

They always hated me.

They blamed me for what happened to Jason.

No, 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 them.

Wes,

is that you?

I want you to let me and my family go.

Poneth, where's Wes?

He's fine.

I was keeping an eye on him when I should have 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 going to 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.

It's not your call to make, Arthur.

I saw she drew her mother as an angel. What'd you tell her? 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 going to do? Are you going to keep

running with the little girl?

If I have to.

You're putting her in danger.

You know that, right?

What are you going to do when she gets older? Just keep lying to her?

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

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?

What did you do?

Try 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.

Arthur?

Yo.

Randy, Wes is in trouble. I just sent you his cell phone. Can you give me his

location? Yeah, yeah, I got you.

Got it. Send me your pin now.

All right, I'm about 40 minutes away.

I'm gonna head over there. I'm gonna stabilize and call an ambulance. Do it

What? What?

Shaw.

Shaw.

Come on, Shaw.

All right.

I got you.

I got you.

Hang in there, all right?

I got an ambulance on the way, okay?

Here you go. It's going to feel good. You ready?

All right.

Deep breath.

Here we go.

All right.

All right.

Listen to me.

Bonas is smart, right?

He knows there's going to 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, kid. I've been on it. He keeps him.

This boat's called the Eurydice.

Keep pressure on that thing, okay?

Hey! Hey!

Down here!

Yeah, I knew it was on the way, okay?

Iris, we gotta go.

Fire up the engine, Iris. We gotta go.

We gotta... You're not gonna take her from us.

Where's Aubrey?

Stop, Arthur!

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Aubrey, honey, come out here.

Aubrey.

It's okay.

Grandma, Grandpa, are we safe?

Yes, sweetheart.

You're safe.

Well, that stranger just saw me.

Everything's going to be okay.

There's Mr. Shaw.

Hi, Aubrey.

Good job.

Yeah.

We'll just be a minute.

We're just going to give Aubrey a couple more minutes to get comfortable, and

then Lynn, the social worker, is going to 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.

The hospital in a visit to Detective West.

How's he doing?

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

He wanted me to send his apologies for ever blaming you.

Well, Sierra's been working with CPS, and we've got a plan all thought out.

So we're going to show the court that this is going to be a safe and stable

for Aubrey.

Good.

Oh, um, sorry, I've got to take this. Excuse me a minute.

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. He's gonna have a

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

it apart even more.

Yeah. I suppose sometimes people do the wrong things for the right reasons.

You know something about that?

I might.

I've got a lot of lost time to catch up on.

I can't thank you enough, Coulter, for bringing her back to me.

Take care, okay?

Do you want to say hi to your mommy?
