He saw a man dragging a young woman

That's all he remembered.

White. Mid-40s. Had a gun in his hand.

What do we know about her? - Name's Chloe Ford.

One on the left. One on the right.

They already told my house manager to pull the video,

- No, I have--I have no idea. - What about your wife?

Is she here? Maybe she--

- No, she passed away three years ago.

- Sorry to hear that.

Has Chloe been having any problems in school?

Maybe enemies or stalkers? Jealous ex-boyfriends?

- No. And she would tell me, too.

We're close--we talk all the time about everything.

- What about you, Mr. Ford?

Anything unusual going on in your life?

Have there been any recent threats,

or do you have any enemies?

- Well, I buy and sell companies.

I shut down factories. I consolidate business units.

And what else do we know about Chloe Ford?

- Ran her emails and texts. Nothing too interesting.

Lots of talk about school, tennis, boys.

- Keep working. What about the father?

- Nothing too intriguing there either.

Mostly business chatter. Lots of Wall Street jargon.

"Cash flow," "P/E," "EBITDA."

- So the question remains-- why Chloe?

She is not the only rich kid in New York.

Is there something specific about her? Her father?

This does not seem random.

Was this a money grab,

Went viral on social media.

He and his wife are in London. Have been for the last month.

- Yeah, they said Helton helped out on the construction of it.

- Huh.

Okay, what else did they say about Helton?

Is he mentally ill? An addict?

- No. He said Helton's a good man.

In fact, I think the exact quote was,

"He's one of the most loyal and honest men I've ever met."

- All right, track down the architect

who designed the safe room

and get copies of the blueprints.

We need to find a way to breach.

- Okay.

- So Helton tried to file

a missing-persons report three weeks ago.

Said his 16-year-old daughter Stephanie left the home

around 7:00 p.m. and never returned home.

- What do you mean tried?

- Well, in order to file a report

about a missing daughter, she has to actually exist.

There's no record of Helton having a daughter,

and police checked the birth certificate of the girl

he alleged went missing, Stephanie Rice.

He's not listed as the father.

- So what else do we know about Stephanie?

- She was born in New Jersey. Both parents deceased.

No official address.

And she doesn't appear to be attending school

at the moment either--at least there's no record of it.

- Do we know if she was actually living with Helton?

- Yeah. It appears that way.

Two neighbors told police officers on site

that Helton has been living

with a teenage girl for about six months.

- Okay, so maybe she was a hostage

or an underage girlfriend.

It doesn't matter.

If Helton believes he's the father, that's his reality.

Needs to be ours, too. - Meaning?

- Meaning our job is to save Chloe Ford.

Right now the best way to do that

is to comply with Helton's mandate.

wherever she may be.

I'm here to talk, to listen,

But all of that is in the past.

There's nothing we can do to change any of that.

According to records,

Mike doesn't actually have a daughter.

- Yes. He does.

but before she did, she told Mike

that he was Stephanie's biological father.

So she contacts Mike

until six months ago.

Not to mention, Stephanie's 16, has had a hard road.

- Uh, can you be more specific?

- They were driving each other crazy.

Mike was being really overprotective,

and Stephanie was starting to rebel.

- Did Mike tell you that? - No.

Stephanie did. We used to talk a lot.

- Okay, so according to your conversations,

do you think it's possible that Stephanie ran away?

Okay, Anna?

If you know something more,

you've got to tell us the truth,

because right now there's a girl being held hostage

because Mike believes that his daughter was taken,

and he doesn't think the police give a damn.

So, please, tell us what you know.

- About a month ago, they had a huge fight.

Mike thought she was smoking pot and doing drugs,

so he grounded her for a month, and she went nuts.

I felt really bad for her.

- Okay. So...

- So I gave her money

so that she can buy a bus ticket to Florida.

She wanted to go down there and visit a cousin and stay

until things cooled down between her and Mike.

- You didn't tell Mike any this?

- No, I just gave her the money

for the bus ticket and thought everything would be okay.

- Hey.

Uh, we have video from the Queens Village Bus Station.

It shows Stephanie buying a ticket to Fort Lauderdale

three weeks ago.

- So Stephanie, Helton's real daughter, ran away to Florida?

- Not so sure about that. - What do you mean?

- We talked to the cousin in Fort Lauderdale.

She confirmed that Stephanie and Helton were having issues

and she wanted to get away for a few weeks,

but she never showed up.

- And the cousin didn't tell anyone?

Didn't call the police?

- Yeah, well, she claimed that she got a text message

the same day that Stephanie was supposed to arrive,

saying that things back home

were better between her and Helton,

so she was going to stay put in New York.

- But she didn't. She never made it back home.

So what the hell happened to her?

Did she meet some stranger and sail off into the sunset?

- I pulled all 911 calls from within a few miles

of the bus station on the same night

Stephanie was leaving.

At 7:45 p.m., an anonymous call

came in from a passenger on a bus to Boston.

He said he saw a man fighting with a white woman

outside the station.

I did a little bit more digging,

and I found the dash cam footage

from the bus the 911 call came from.

I ran it through forensic software to clean it up.

It's definitely Stephanie Rice.

- Well she's definitely not sailing off into the sunset.

- [sighs] Okay, so maybe this guy, the abductor,

sent a text to the cousin to buy some time

so no one would start looking for.

- Yeah, get that footage over to Jubal ASAP.

Helton's deadline is quickly approaching.

Maybe this'll buy us some time.

Pull me up, please!

- Tell me where those girls are.

Every single one, or I will throw you

back off this roof myself!

- Look. I'm not a bad person, I swear.

I just needed the money... for dope.

And these girls, they ain't no saints.

I know 'cause I talk to 'em first

to see where their heads are at--

if they had family, if they'd be looked for.

- And if they did have family,

you would send some fake text messages

so no one would call the cops.

- Can't get caught if people ain't looking.

- So, what, after you steal these girls from bus stations,

then what?

You just sell them to the highest bidder?

- No. Only to this dude, Hugo.

He gets 'em hooked and then puts 'em to work.

You know, sex work.

- Where'd Hugo keep these girls?

- I don't know.

- Well, you're gonna help us find out right now.

Do you have his number on this phone?

- No. We don't communicate like that.

Hugo's paranoid about using cell phones.

- So how do you communicate, smoke signals?

- Same way Pablo Escobar used to...

Pigeons.

- I'm sorry, Chloe. I didn't mean to hurt you.

I...

just reacted.

- Why do you hate me so much? - I don't.

I just needed someone rich

so the police would pay attention.

- You heard about my birthday party, didn't you?

- Yeah, read all about it.

Sounded like it was pretty fun.

- Are you really gonna kill me

if they don't find your daughter?

- I got no choice.

- [scoffs] Sure you do.

- But I don't.

I got to let the world know how unfair this is

so it doesn't happen again to some other father.

I know you're listening, Valentine.

Maybe you could help us out with all this

and tell me where my daughter is?

- Hey, Mike.

Uh, yeah, we are still doing our best,

but we have not found her yet.

- What the hell are you talking about?

- We just nailed down her location

about five minutes ago, but we have agents

heading up to Hartford to pick her up.

- Hartford? She's in Hartford? With who?

- Well, we're still looking into that.

But, uh, Mike, I got good news...

We know she's alive.
