Is that my daughter?
No, no, no.

Is that Lana?
Please stand back, sir.

Let him through.

(breathing heavily)

Is that Lana, Mr. Russo?

(exhales sharply)

(sighs) That's not her.

That's-that's her friend Jamie.

Have you found Lana?

No. No, not yet,

but we're dredging the river,
we'll keep searching.

(siren wailing)

GAVIN: Colter Shaw?
Yeah.

Gavin Russo.

(sighs)
Please come on in.

Thanks.

Can I get you something?
No, thank you.

That's my daughter Lana.

Three years ago,

her and her best friend Jamie
left school.

They were supposed to walk home,

but instead they disappeared.

They found Jamie, right?

Yeah.

Her body washed up
from the river three days later.

Drowning was the cause of death.

But they never found Lana.

The police said that
they would never stop looking,

but eventually they did.

(takes deep breath)

What'd they tell you?

That my daughter was
at the bottom of the river,

that she probably died
alongside her friend,

that they hurt themselves,

but they never found a trace.

- You said hurt themselves,
like some kind of pact? - Yeah.

They-they found the girls'
backpacks with a-a-a note.

And what'd the note say?
"So much pain"

and "I want to die."

But Lana would never
kill herself.

I know her.

After her mother passed,

it was just the two of us,
and we were very close.

If she was upset
or had an emotional crisis,

I believe she would
have come to me.

And what about Jamie's parents?

Oh, they just...
seemed to accept it.

What do you think
happened to your daughter?

Not what the police said.

I mean, I-I could never
believe that...

Jamie,

I don't know, but not Lana.

And I just can't, as a...

as a father... (exhales)

I could just never
get over the feeling

that she was out there

somewhere.

You're offering a $30,000 reward

that you just posted online.

I don't want to
give you false hope.

It's been three years.

The odds are not great.

You're asking someone to find
your daughter's body.

Yeah. Wh-What if I told you
that I have proof

that she's still alive?

What kind of proof?

That's her, that's my daughter.

This was taken two weeks ago
at the county fair.

See?
All the way in the back.

You sure that's her?

Her hair i-is different

and she's a little thinner,

but...
I know my daughter's eyes.

I know her face.

That's her.

♪ ♪

Did you run facial recognition
on the photo?

Doing that as we speak.

Photo's too grainy.

I need a higher-resolution photo
or a better app.

We could track down
the photographer.

I already did that.

Called and left a message,
waiting to hear back.

VELMA:
If Lana's alive,

why hasn't she come home
or checked in?

COLTER: Her father thinks
maybe someone's after her,

she's staying away
to protect him.

He got the idea
from a documentary he saw

about another missing kid.
Oh, God.

I think he's just...

trying to make sense of it.

This is why
I don't like cold cases.

You didn't see his face
when he was talking about her.

I think, at the very least,

maybe I can give him
some closure.

I'll let you know.

Think that could be Lana Russo?

Mr. Shaw, I would love to say
that this was her,

but I think
you're chasing ghosts.

I understand she's been presumed
dead and her case is closed.

Not officially,

but with budget cuts we just
can't put resources into it.

Look...

Gavin kept coming in here
with half-baked ideas

and possible sightings,
and we checked out every lead,

but none of them ever panned out.
(knocking)

Yeah, thanks.
Just put it on the table.

Thank you.

Gavin's convinced
she didn't commit suicide.

Maybe it was an accident
or something impulsive,

but Gavin is in denial.

Look, I-I have kids,
I would be, too.

What he's been through
is unimaginable.

But don't-don't get me
wrong, okay?

I am not opposed
to you investigating this.

This is one of those cases
that has haunted me.

There are days
when I'm having my coffee

and, I don't know,
her... her face comes to me

and then, before you know it,
I'm out driving by the river

where we found the other girl
as if it happened yesterday.

I'm not here to cast blame.
I know, I know.

And the truth is, is that
I am happy to share the burden.

And if you find anything...
well, hell,

there's no reward
big enough for that.

I wouldn't mind taking a look
at that note they left.

Yeah.

Let's see.

Oh. Here it is.

And then there's the journal

we found in Lana's backpack

and the entry made on the day
they went missing.

A lot of that kind
of stuff in there.

Gavin said she was into horror
and the supernatural.

Teen angst, right?

Not depression.
No, this wasn't teenage angst.

At least not
the way I remember it...

big emotions,
listening to The Smiths.

I mean, these girls were...

troubled, I guess is
what you could call it.

What do you mean?
Well, we interviewed

all their classmates
and the teachers,

and Lana and her friends
were considered, you know,

kind of weird.

You remember how it is.

The social outcasts
of the school.

I was, uh, homeschooled,
actually.

Ew. One of those snowflakes.

No. No, not that kind
of homesc... Um...

If you want to know how build
an off-the-grid power generator

or, say, calculate the drop
on a 165-grain

seven-millimeter round
at 500 yards,

I'm your guy.

Sounds like useful knowledge.

Can be.

Now, these girls were different.

They dressed mainly in black.

They were into dark things,
there were a lot of

rumors about them and,
and some of the other students.

That's why nobody was really
shocked when this went down.

Dark things, like what?

Paranormal activity.

Murder podcasts,
the spirit world.

They were obsessed
with Harkwood.

It's an old abandoned
mental hospital.

They posted a couple videos
online. Creepy stuff.

Like I said, these girls
were kind of messed up.

How far is the hospital

away from the river
where the body was found?

Less than a mile.

You still have
those videos they made?

Yeah.

LANA:
I'm kind of

freaking out right now.

A couple weeks ago,

I read about the Harkwood Witch.

She's the ghost of
a lady named Ada Bram,

who was in and out
of the mental hospital.

(woman screams)

(whispering voices)

They say, once you know
about the Harkwood Witch...

(whispering voices)

...she finds you.

So, what do you think?

I think I missed out on meeting

a lot of interesting people,
being homeschooled.

(chuckles) Maybe you did.

You said they were
obsessed with Harkwood.

Mind if we go by
and check it out?

♪ ♪

Welcome to Harkwood.
Shall we?

I don't know why we bother
with the lock and key

for this place.

Property's so big, it's hard
to keep it locked down.

(lock clicks)

What exactly
are you looking for?

I want to get a picture
of Lana's state of mind

before she disappeared.

You said there are no videos
of her ever being here

like the ones you found
in her bedroom?

Not that I ever saw.

All right.

Ready, Homeschool?

(exhales)

There's something about
this place that draws people.

A dark energy.

You afraid of ghosts?

Nah, too much of a cynic.

Besides, all the bad people
in the world,

who has time for ghosts?

Yeah, I hear you.

There's no shortage
of sketchy types here.

There are drug addicts,
vagabonds,

and all sorts of scum.

Got to run them off
every so often.

So, then, if Lana did come here
on the day of her disappearance,

there's a chance
she ran into someone.

Mm. Possible,
but I wouldn't bet on it.

We interviewed all
the people we picked up

around here at the time.

(phone vibrates)

Yeah.

All right, I'm coming.

I got to go deal with this.

Find any ghosts,
you know where to find me.

Yeah, okay.

Hello?

MAN:
Colter Shaw?

Hey, I'm the photographer
with The Bugle.

You left me a message.

Thanks for calling me back.

Of course.

I may have
what you're looking for.

COLTER: Photographer said
these three photos

were taken seconds apart.

The middle one is the one

that was published.

The resolution's much better.

All right, isolate her.

Okay, now pull up her old photo.

You can go ahead and run it.

(computer trilling)

She's alive.

All right, Detective Brock
is putting out a BOLO

and canvassing all the vendors

from the county fair.

I knew that was her.

Look right here. She's looking
right at the camera.

It's like she wants to be seen.

Maybe she needs help.

COLTER: She went
to the blood drive booth.

It's a good place to
go for assistance.

None of this makes any sense.

What is she even doing
at the county fair?

I don't know.

It doesn't look like

she's being held
against her will.

And then,
in this one right here,

she looks scared.

She might be in a fugue state.

It's when someone
doesn't know who they are,

usually triggered
by a traumatic event.

Maybe if she saw
Jamie go in the water

and she couldn't help her?

That might do it.

People react all sorts of ways
to traumatic events.

Did you... know all
of her friends?

To be honest,
there was really only Jamie.

The rest were just acquaintances
in the film club.

Do you have any names?
I'm thinking maybe

she reached out to someone.

All right, where is it?

There it is.

That's the film club.

Mm-hmm.

She like anybody?

Not that she mentioned,

but then again,
that's not the sort of thing

a 16-year-old
discusses with her dad.

Hmm.

Who's Tobias Calhoun?

She looked at these two
pages quite a bit.

He's the only student
on both pages,

and he also happens to
be in the film club.

That's Toby.

He was her ninth grade
biology partner.

But, uh, I think she
found him annoying.

Did you hear from him
after she disappeared?

No, I heard that
he dropped out of school

six months after she...

Any idea where he might be now?

I saw him working at a bakery

the next town over.

TOBY: Lana? No,
she hasn't called me.

Are you sure that's really her?
Yeah.

You guys friends?

Uh, yeah.

We were in film club,

liked the same horror movies.

You guys ever hang out?

Define "hang out."

Well, like when you were
together, what would you do?

Look, I already
talked to the cops.

I wasn't even in school
the week they disappeared.

Oh, hey, you're not in trouble

or anything like that.
I'm just trying to

get a sense of who Lana is.

She made these
paranormal activity videos.

You ever work on them together?
A few times, yeah.

I told the cops what I thought.

Which was?
So, the girls

didn't kill themselves

just 'cause they were,
like, depressed.

I tried explaining that the note

could've just been EVP.

It's, uh,
"electronic voice phenomena."

The page was from
Lana's notebook

where she would record messages

from the spirits
when we were filming, so...

(entry bell jingles)

What exactly
do you think happened?

Nah, you're gonna laugh at me.

Oh, come on.
Try me.

Uh, I got this when we were

trying to film at Harkwood.

That old mental hospital.
Yeah.

One minute we're filming.

The next, I feel a sharp pain

and I'm bleeding.

Without a doubt, no one's
going to believe me, but...

...we encountered
a presence there.

A presence? Like a...
like a person?

No.

When was the last time
you were at Harkwood with Lana?

Uh, maybe a week before
Lana and Jamie disappeared.

And then I stopped.
Never went back.

Why?

Because of the Harkwood Witch.

I think she got Lana and Jamie,

she got into their
heads somehow,

made them kill themselves.

And you think she was trying
to do the same thing to you?

I told the cops everything.

They just looked at me
like I was crazy.

But I'm not.

No, I... I think when someone

believes in something strongly,
it can be very powerful.

I'm not making this up, man.

Didn't say that you were.

Lana was there when you
sensed this presence?

Yeah.

You still have those videos

that you made from Harkwood?

BROCK:
I don't know how relevant

Toby's last video is
if it was from the week

before the girls disappeared.

COLTER: Just trying to start at
the beginning of the timeline,

from when things
started to get strange.

And that something
is a presence?

A witch.

Okey dokey.

How are you on canvassing the
vendors from the county fair?

I just got the full list,

trying to figure out
who was nearby,

but neither the
blood donor booth

or the crystal jewelry
vendor in the photo

remember seeing Lana.

Maybe there's something
in the video.

You want to play it?

Okay, uh, we're in
a patient wing now,

and I can say it feels
really cold in here.

LANA: EMF meter is
picking something up.

We are definitely in
the presence of spirits.

(eerie screeching)

Oh, my God. Look.

LANA: Ada Bram,
the Harkwood Witch

always wore a
piece of red string

around her wrist

when she was a patient here.

TOBY: Well, don't touch it.
Are you crazy?

I'm just...

The meter's off the chart.

TOBY:
This is getting so sketch.

We should just get out of here.

Come on, Toby, I thought
you were here for this.

(creaking, thumping)

TOBY: Holy crap.
Did you guys see that?

Something's definitely here.

Oh, stop! Oh, God!
(grunts)

LANA: You okay?
TOBY: I don't know.

I think something bit me.
What happened?

Oh, I'm bleeding.

Do me a favor.

Can you rewind that
to when the camera fell?

You okay?
Oh, I don't know.

Oh, I think something bit me.
LANA: What happened?

Pause right there.
Go back a few frames.

Right there.

Can you zoom in

to that right there?

That's a thermal heat signature.

A witch has a thermal signature?

A witch is a human.

Someone was watching them.

All the patients' rooms

were either in the east
or west wings.

(Colter sighs)

I'll take the west.

Okay.

Let's do this.

And you really think

(scoffs)

All right, look, I'll...

I'll take you in there with me,

but just to keep it above board,

you are now a consultant

Whatever it takes.

Thought you might be
hungry, hmm?

This is Colter Shaw.

He's helping us.

Hi.

You can go ahead and eat.
It's okay.

You live at the hospital?

Sometimes.

It's peaceful there.

Most people

are scared of the ghosts.
I'm not.

But people do go there

to see ghosts, right,
like these kids here?

I saw them with their camera
and stuff,

But I didn't do nothing,
just watched them.

I believe you. I don't think
you did anything bad.

Maybe you saw something?

BROCK: Take a good look
at these two girls

right here, okay?

Now remember back to March 10th,
three years ago.

The weather was
really bad that day.

One of these girls is dead,

and the other one...
still missing.

I didn't see her,
but I saw this girl.

I remember 'cause
my sleeping area was flooding,

and I had to pack up and go.

And where'd you see her?

In the woods,

outside the hospital...
near the river.

She was kind of far,
so I'm not 100%,

but I'm pretty sure it was her.

She had on a yellow raincoat,

but it was way too big for her.

Was she alone?
No.

Someone was with her,

in a black raincoat

with a hood.

No way.

I couldn't see his face.

He was taking her away.

Want to tell me what's going on?

Just-just-just give me
a minute, okay?

Might be nothing.

Doesn't seem like nothing.

It's an old case
about ten years back.

It wasn't mine,
but a teenage boy

was kidnapped, murdered.

They found him buried
in a shallow grave.

His body was wrapped
in a yellow raincoat.

It's just, it's got
to be a coincidence.

The killer Errol Price
was caught, he confessed.

He's been in the state pen
for the last five years.

What if it's not a coincidence?

To the family of Anthony Farley,

I want to sincerely apologize

for the pain and suffering
I have caused you.

I succumbed to an evil
inside of me,

but the good Lord has shown me
the error of my ways.

I will now dedicate
the rest of my life

to repenting.

I would gladly trade my life
for Anthony's.

Uh, that's all I have to say.

You did well, Errol.

He says he's repentant,

but he's refused to meet
with any cops.

And he hasn't explained
the significance

of the yellow raincoat
he buried the little boy in.

I put in a request to visit.

Said I was also remorseful
about a crime.

Maybe he could help me.

See if I can get him to talk.

You may be wasting your time.

You don't believe that, do you?

Want to grab a cup of coffee?

So he was pretty upset

the fourth time I missed
our son's baseball game,

and rightly so.

Lana had been missing a year,

but I felt compelled
to follow up on some clue

Gavin had.

And ended up right back here,
where we found Jamie's body.

Next day, my husband
filed for divorce.

I'm sorry.
No.

Part of the job, I guess.

Every detective I know
is either single

or on their third
or fourth marriage.

You have any cases
you can't quit?

One.

From when I first
started this job.

And...

...the death of my father.

He died in a fall,
and it was ruled an accident.

I'm not so sure about that.

I had questions about
my family for years.

Just like me and Lana.

You should look at this.
It's Errol Price's file.

There are similarities
to Lana's case

that just bother me.

I don't believe
in the supernatural,

but if ever there were a case
to make me reconsider,

this is it.

There's a dark
energy at Harkwood.

Maybe it touches people
that have a connection.

Or it's just
an ordinary building,

and people who are prone
to dark thoughts

are delusional about it.

(phone chimes, vibrates)

Errol's agreed to see me.

(man speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

(lock buzzes, latch clicks)

Mr. Shaw, pleasure to meet you.

Appreciate you seeing me.

You said you're also remorseful
about a crime?

I let my father's killer
go free.

Which sort of led me
to my work, in a way.

I'm here because
I need information.

(scoffs)

About?

Something you've refused
to talk about in the past.

You buried your victim
in a yellow raincoat. Why?

That's a very personal question.

There's a missing girl
I'm looking for.

She was last seen wearing
a yellow raincoat

while she was being taken away.

It's not a rare item.

It's a bit like saying
she was taken away

wearing brown boots
or a pink hat.

I don't think my reason
will help you.

Humor me.

I'm sparing you the quotidian.

This girl needs all the help
she can get.

We are all in need, Mr. Shaw.

Including you.

You cooperate,

preferential treatment
around here,

some advantages.

What do you think?

(sighs)

(door closes)

(latch clicks, lock buzzes)

All right, then.

(clears throat)

When I was a child
and the weather was bad,

my father would have me wear
a yellow raincoat

to go out with him to chop wood.

Or so he told my mother.

What he really did was
take me out to the shed where...

he did unspeakable things to me.

And you did the same
to your victim?

I did as I was taught.
(sniffles)

I read your police report.

When you were arrested,
you said, "We will be avenged."

What did you mean by "we"?

Well, obviously myself.

And Astaroth.

A demon that was living
inside of me for a while,

but I've since banished him.

When the police searched
your home, they found a box.

Inside the box was
a teddy bear and some toys.

It was labeled
"Mr. Vic Pereema."

Who-Who's that?

One of the previous tenants,
I think.

- Hmm. - He didn't leave
a forwarding address, and I...

didn't want to throw his things
out in case he came back.

Not your partner in crime?

No.

I worked alone, Mr. Shaw.

With Astaroth, the...

...demon thing?

Yes, the demon.

I can see you don't believe
in such things.

It's a pity because

it's the ignorance
that you pay for in the end.

(lock buzzes)

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I need to prepare
for my Bible study class.

BROCK:
Hey, just got off

the phone
with Errol Price's old landlord.

There was never a tenant
named Vic Pereema.

He's lying.
He knows who it is.

Do you think there was
an accomplice?

It's a good chance.

I thought Errol Price was
repentant.

I'm not buying it.
He's protecting his partner.

You think the accomplice
grabbed Lana?

He didn't ask me
any questions about her.

He wasn't curious at all,
which is very suspicious.

And then he ended
the conversation really quickly

once I brought up a partner.

All right. Well, we'll run
Vic Pereema's name

through NCIC
and see if we get a hit.

Could you check his mail and
phone records from the prison,

see if they've been in contact?

Already on it.

I'm gonna go talk to the sister,

see if she knows anything.

Toby?

It's good to see you.

TOBY:
Oh, my God.

(chuckles)

GAVIN:
I think she's gonna be okay.

It's gonna take
some time, though.

She's lucky to have you.

Well, Maeve Price was talking
till her lawyer showed up.

She and Errol both liked
to visit Harkwood.

Felt a kinship to the place.

That's where she first
saw the girls,

so she stalked them.

Used their interest

in the Harkwood Witch
to lure them

with the red string bracelet.

And a week later,
she's got them both at gunpoint

down by the bridge.

She pushed Jamie in the river

and she grabbed Lana.
And then kept her for three years.

Then, a couple weeks ago,

the city needed
to inspect her house.

She was afraid
they were gonna see Lana,

so she tied her up,

put her in the back of the van,

and took her to work that day.

Which just so happened to be
at the blood drive tent

at the county fair.
Yeah.

Lana managed to escape the van,

and that's
when the photo was taken.

She was too weak.
She couldn't get very far

before Maeve grabbed her again.

So, did Maeve do this
for herself or for her brother?

It's hard to say.

They're both so twisted
from their childhood.

They both wanted a proxy
to hold on to and torture,

just like their father
abused them.

And it explains why
Lana's still alive.

Yeah. I think
I owe Gavin an apology.

I think you came
to a logical conclusion

based on the evidence you had.

Well, I am grateful to have
this case behind me.

And I hope

you find some answers
about your family.

Me, too.

I'm gonna head in.
You coming?

No, no, I'm gonna hit the road.

Safe travels, Homeschool.
