Call from Latoya.
Have you started packing yet?
Mm-hmm.
Enough socks and underwear for the trip?
Yeah.
Lotion, toothpaste, soaps?
Shower shoes?
I know how to pack a bag, Auntie Kai.
Okay! I'm just asking.
Uh... kiddo, why don't you call me back
when you're less distracted?
Plus, I need to roll.
- No, I'm not. - You are.
I'm just arguing with these people in my comments.
You know better than to feed the trolls, Toy.
Just... people are so dumb.
Like, how are you gonna argue with me about my autism?
They're saying I don't look autistic,
and I don't even know what that means.
All right, I'm gonna broach a sensitive subject with you.
Don't get upset,
but I want you to tell me the truth.
Okay.
I've noticed that you have some new clothes,
some new shoes, some jewelry on your socials.
I know you don't have a job, so where you getting all this?
Huh?
Don't "huh" me, Latoya.
You heard what I said.
A friend.
Toy.
No, I don't ask. He just sends me things.
Friends don't spend that kind of money
and expect to stay "friends,"
so if that's all he is to you
you need to tell him to stop.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
Latoya!
Yes!
Can you at least sound like you mean that?
I understand.
When are you getting back? I'm hungry.
Bring me something to eat.
Girl, bye.
Bye!
Oh...
Hey-hey! Kai!
Hey, Donna.
Wait. This it, ain't it?
Yes, ma'am!
Well, don't crack out cake or donuts
before I get back.
You got it.
Uncle Jimmy!
Ha! Welcome back!
- Thank you. - You excited to be back?
I am excited to be retired!
Mm, what you got?
I'm about to put my keys down,
get some real food, and pass out in a real bed.
Don't nobody ask me for nothing!
Okay!
Hey, T.
Yes, donuts.
Triflin'!
- Hey! - Hey!
Girl!
Why you still wearing a bonnet? What's up with that?
Hey! Don't be snatching my stuff!
I'm very busy.
Are you?
Oh, and you seem very excited.
Don't tell me...
Morris Chestnut has finally decided
that what he wants in life
is a divorcée
with a kid and inherited debt?
I've been waitin' to tell you.
You bagged Morris?
Every night in my dreams!
Ha.
For real, though
call came through late last night
from Minority Carriers,
paying $4 a mile to Dallas.
Four dollars?
That's great!
- Right? - Yeah.
Pick-up's first thing Friday.
And you're telling me this, because...?
No. No. No, no.
Mads, I just put down my keys.
I am officially retired!
Emphasis on... "tired".
And I told Latoya that
I was gonna take her to San Francisco Saturday.
I really need you on this one, Kai.
It's a family company,
and they really wanna partner with family-operated carriers.
And you know how hard it is for Black operators
to get the bigger contracts.
Look, I get a new contract,
that means I could hire more drivers,
and then maybe afford a new rig,
and then you can finally retire Daddy's.
I know how precious you are about Daddy's rig.
It's Daddy's rig.
Big Country's name
still carries a lot of weight in these streets,
and, right now, you're still my best driver.
Look, after we lock this up...
you can ride on out to the sunset
and not feel one iota of guilt about abandoning me.
Again.
Wow.
- Are you ever gonna let me for... - Nope.
So, you gonna tell your daughter
that her birthday trip is canceled?
Well, you're the cool aunt.
Find a cool way to tell her.
Thank you.
Hey, Toy.
Don't freak out,
but there's been a change of plans.
Your mom needs me to do a haul to Dallas on Friday.
But we're leaving for San Francisco on Saturday.
I know.
I mean, I'm already packed.
Do you know how hard that is for me?
I know, kiddo!
I promise... I will make it up to you.
Mm.
Can I just go with you?
To Dallas?
I thought you had your heart set on San Francisco?
I don't care where we go. I just wanna be with you.
You're such a cutie.
You know what?
We are not gonna let Mom ruin our fun.
Nope.
Do you think she'll let me go?
I'm her big sister.
If I say you're going, you're going.
We may have to bribe her, though.
Make it seem like it's her idea.
And what is this?
- That's a donut. - I know it's a donut, Toy.
Why are you giving it to me?
Well, it's your favorite,
and it'll make you happy,
so you won't be mad when I tell you
that I'm going with Auntie Kai to Dallas.
Uh, no, you're not.
Well, Auntie already said I could go,
and she's your big sister, so you do whatever she says.
Okay, no! Did your auntie tell you that?
Yes.
Kai!
Toya, why did you have to tell her that?
Well, that's what happened.
Okay, but you don't have to tell her that.
What is this?
I told Toy she could come with me to Dallas.
You don't have that authority.
Well, that's not fair.
You said I could go on a road trip with Auntie Kai
for my 18th birthday, and I'm 18 in a week,
and that makes me an adult.
That's the law.
Oh, is that the law?
Yeah, look it up.
Oh.
Toy. Baby...
- I'm not a baby. - No one's calling you that.
You're treating me like one.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do!
You do.
Toy, I know you're upset,
but there's a lot that goes into
adding a passenger to the truck.
Mads
it's paperwork.
Come on, it's insurance liability.
I mean, she's gonna be 18 in a week.
She'll be with me, and, you know,
give us both some credit, and lighten up.
I wanna go, Mom.
Well, I'm sorry, but...
Auntie Kai said I could go!
I gave you a donut.
And I thank you for that,
but your auntie can't make those kind of decisions for you.
Oh, my God. The stupid donut didn't work.
Auntie Kai, talk to your sister.
Really, Mads?
Kai!
You can't make that decision for my kid.
I've been making decisions for her since she was two.
We're practically sister wives.
Firstly... ew!
Never say that again.
Okay.
And second
stop undermining me in front of my kid.
Would you rather I do it when she's not around?
Okay, come on.
Bad joke. Okay? I'm sorry.
But... let's face it.
You treat her different.
She is different.
She's capable of more than you give her credit for.
Come on.
Fine.
Ha.
You can be the cool aunt who comes in,
saves the day, again,
and I'll just be here, being.
Boring and overprotective, but we love you,
and that's why it's, you know
teamwork!
Teamwork makes the dream work!
You forget something?
Hey!
I was looking for that.
She was in the kitchen.
I thought you'd wanna bring her for the ride.
- Mm-hmm. - Thanks, Mom.
You're welcome.
And thanks for letting me go.
Well, the donut helped.
I knew it would.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Now, have fun, and make good choices.
I will.
Mm.
Who's ready to hit the road?
- There you go. - Okay.
Thank you.
Kai...
There's a lot riding on this,
so could you please remember to smile,
and be nice.
I'm always nice.
No. You're not.
I'll see you in a few days.
You take care of her.
- I will. - I mean it.
I will!
Don't come back without my baby.
You wanna pull the horn?
All right!
What?
You're, like, a real trucker.
And you're just now realizing that?
Well, it's just, you don't look like a real trucker.
What does a trucker look like?
Well, fat guys with beards.
Sometimes, fat ladies who... also have beards.
Donna doesn't have a beard.
Not yet.
Disrespectful.
Is it time for a new one?
Nah. I like my old Auntie.
She's battle-tested.
Plus, someone needs to look out for me.
Ouch!
Breaker 1-9, this is Big Country.
Anybody got eyes and ears
on the weigh station by Mile 350? Over.
Evening, Big Country, this is Clutch Doctor.
What's up, Clutch?
We've got to stop meeting like this.
It's always good to hear a friendly voice.
Is the Coop open?
It's in my rearview.
Are they letting people in, or can I keep rollin'?
Big Country, it's dark, you are free as a bird.
Copy.
Safe driving, Big Country.
The Clutch Doctor likes you.
He's just a friendly guy.
You should date him.
You've, like, never had a boyfriend.
Oh, I've had my share.
When?
A long time ago.
Didn't end well.
I prefer my trucks these days.
Did you use to ride a lot with Grandpa?
Grandpa used to have a joke
that I could drive a rig before I could walk.
Do you miss him?
Every day.
Is that why you're retiring?
You know, I never saw myself as a trucker.
I was raised in it, I'm good at it,
but I never felt the connection
that Big Country talked about with the trucker community.
Plus, you're gonna be going to college soon, and, uh...
I'm not getting any younger.
Driving around, days on days, my ass is spreading,
so I figure, get out while I'm still cute.
And before you grow a beard.
And before I grow a beard!
See you in a minute.
Where you going?
Showers.
Uh, put on a jacket!
It's hot.
I don't want you going out like that.
Put a jacket on, Toy.
Thanks.
Hey!
Ew! No!
Why are you always giving me a hard time?
Hey!
I pay cash!
Get your hands off her!
Bitch. You know what...
Back the hell up!
You've been following us.
The hell you talking about, you crazy bitch?
Oh, I'll show you crazy!
- Whoa-whoa-whoa! Hey-hey-hey! - Hey!
Hey, hey. Hey! I'm a friendly. I'm a friendly.
Give me back my tire thumper.
Are you gonna keep beating on that man?
That man has been pushing up on my niece!
Well, the only things he's pushing up on right now
are the cracked ribs you just gave him.
I think he got the point.
Out of your damn mind!
Oh, you wanna keep talking?
Just shut up.
Hey, hey, hey. Okay.
So-So you say he's been following you?
Yeah.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.
There's a black car that's been trailing us.
Okay...
What car?
Hey. You ladies okay?
We're fine.
Damn, girl, you're hot.
Excuse me?
Temper. You're... hot.
Some pervert was pressing up on my niece,
and instead of you dealing with it,
you come for me?
Believe it or not,
I was looking out for you, Big Country.
Last thing Walker Trucking needs is a lawsuit.
Sorry. Uh, Clutch.
I recognized the rig.
Clutch... the Texas boy from the CB?
Montana these days.
They make 'em like y'all in Montana?
A few of us, yeah.
Kai.
I know who you are.
You're cuter in person than on the radio.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Your co-pilot's a straight shooter.
She's nothing if not direct.
So you got two Walker women on the road.
Big Country was always bragging on his girls.
Good to see y'all carrying on the legacy.
You know, when I said
we should "stop meeting like this,"
I didn't mean for us to meet like this.
Well, thank you for getting me out of a lawsuit.
Anytime.
We look out for ours around here.
Yeah, well, in the last 15 years on the road,
I've taken care of myself.
Clearly, you can.
Looks like we're headed in the same direction,
so, uh, why don't you take my info?
That way, if you need anything...
All right.
Well... I'll leave you to it.
Stay sharp.
Miss.
Why you giving me this?
You look thirsty.
Girl. Shut up.
Glad we were able to work things out.
- Same here. - Yeah.
We worked with our last carrier
for, oh, over 30 years.
Sweet people.
Family operation out of Texas.
The son shut it down once his father retired.
I'm glad to be able to work with another family operation.
Well, my sister is looking forward
to a long working relationship with you as well.
Well
we'll see ya next time!
Here.
Smile.
Thank you!
You got it.
Next time.
How'd I do?
I almost believed you.
So, we done?
Not even close.
We have a few stops between here and home,
but... we're gonna take our time,
we're gonna make a real trip out of it.
Some of these truck stops
have movie theaters, hotels,
restaurants.
- Mm! - We might hit a few of them.
'Kay.
Sounds like a road trip.
- I agree. - Ahh!
Oh, wait, let's send a video to Mom.
Sure. What do you want me to do?
Uh, just be... you.
Okay, perfect. Wow.
Stunning.
Whoa, okay.
Was that too much?
Eh...
Whoo-hoo!
Oh, my God.

- Stretch your back? - Okay.

Hey, look.
Did you know Clutch has a live stream?
Nope, click on it.
All right, so, some of you been asking
how do I keep my energy up on these long hauls,
and, you know, it gets pretty late out here.
I like to add a little spirulina...
It's kinda crazy
that there's so many people watching.
Do you think they're all truckers?
Very doubtful.
All right, well, that's it for me, guys.
Now I'm supposed to tag a fellow trucker,
so let's see who's out there...
- He's gonna tag you. - In the cyber-streets.
No. There's, like, 300 people watching this.
- He's not gonna do that. - Mm-hmm.
"Big Country" Kai...
I see you lurkin', girl. You up!
Hashtag "Who Gives A Truck".
Clutch Doctor... out.
So what are you gonna do?
I don't have time
for Clutch's thirst-trap challenges.
Well, who gives a truck?
Exactly.
You know, I think you should do it.
That way, it's less awkward when he asks you out,
and you'll keep trucking,
'cause you won't be lonely and miserable anymore.
Toy, is that what you think of me?
Mm-mm.
Okay, who are you texting?
Huh?
What boy are you texting?
Oh, um...
Eric.
Eric, the boy that's sending you all the gifts?
Yeah.
He keeps asking to meet.
You're accepting gifts from a boy you haven't met?
Well, I'm not good in social situations.
You think I should?
When I was your age,
if a boy was sending me all those gifts,
oh, hell, yeah, I would've!
But you're smarter than I am.
All I can say is, Toy, make good choices,
but whatever choice you make,
just make sure that I'm around
just in case he turns out to be a...
Or a hot cowboy like Clutch?
Or that.
Hey, Mads.
You forgot to check in.
My bad.
It's fine.
I heard back from Minority Carriers,
and they said
that you were extremely pleasant and professional.
I always am.
Thank you, Kai. I mean it.
Thank you for doing this for me,
and for Toy.
You can always count on Big Sis
- you know this. - Mm. Hey.
Is Toy around? Can you put her on the phone?
- Hey. Mom. - Hmm?
Oh. Mom!
Hey, Toy-Toy.
You having a good time?
I'm having the best time.
Me and Auntie Kai are watching thirst-traps
and beating people with tire thumpers.
Girl!
Why would you tell her that?
It happened.
Anyways, uh, thanks for letting me come.
Now, you have a good time. Be safe.
Listen to your auntie. All right?
Don't worry, I'll be home soon.
Or, you know, maybe not.
Who knows?
You're so dramatic.
I'm hungry.
I'm gonna get something to eat. Do you want anything?
It's late. Just... go back to sleep.
I'll be right back.

Wh-What are you doing here?
I-I thought that was you.
Uh, so you gonna ask me to sit down, or what?
I mean, I-I don't know.
Wow, that's cold.
No, no. I-I didn't mean it like that.
I'm just... I'm just messing with you.
What are you doing here?
I was just passing by and visiting family.
Been driving all night,
so I thought I'd rest up a bit,
and then I saw you coming in here,
and I was, like, "No way. That's-That's Toya."
You're here.
We're here.
Finally.
C-Crazy, right?
Yeah.
So how's, um
how-how's your trip going?
It's good.
Um.
Well, um, I'm still hungry, so I'm gonna eat.
Yeah, no. Sorry. Don't let me stop you.
Mm.
Damn, girl, you eat like a dude.
Uh, r-relax.
It's a... It's a compliment.
You know, I was, uh...
I was starting to think we'd-we'd never meet.
Are you expecting somebody?
No, it's just
in-person interactions are... awkward.
Talking on the phone is easier.
You mean easier to hide behind.
What?
Nothing. Um...
I, uh... I got you something.
Here. Like an early birthday gift.
Well, you said you'd like that one.
Um...
Why do you have a gift for me if you're visiting family?
Uh...
Well...
Actually, I-I was gonna surprise you in San Francisco,
but you changed your plans at the last minute,
so... now I'm here.
You followed me?
No, I...
I wanted to surprise you.
I don't like surprises.
You've been leaving me unread.
I wasn't ready to meet you yet.
Yeah, but you're cool
taking all the... that I give you?
I never asked you to give me anything.
We-We've been talking for, like, two years.
I talk to a lot of people.
A lot of people? Like who?
I don't know.
They give you stuff, too?
Sometimes.
And what do you give them, Toya?
What?
Yo!
What the hell are you looking for?
No one.
What are you... What are you...
Is everything all right over here?
- Yeah. - Sorry. Um...
Wait, Latoya!
Can you just hold on for a second, please?
Latoya.
Hey, I'm just trying to talk to you.
Latoya, I'm just trying to talk to you
for, like, one second!
No!
Ah!
I'm just trying to talk to you, please!
Get off of me!
Eric!
No! Somebody help me!
Just shut up back there!
Just relax.
Hi.
Auntie Kai!
Toy?
What's wrong?
I made a bad choice!
I need help.
Where are you?
I'm in the trunk of a car.
A what?
Please. Please help me!
I'm in the trunk.
I've got your location! I'm on my way!
Toy, can you hear me?
Oh, my God, my phone's gonna die.
Where are you?
I'm coming! I'm coming!
But I have to hang up so I can call the cops.
No, don't hang up. Just get to me.
It's dark and it's really loud.
Okay, okay, Toy!
Honey, is there anything you can tell me about the car?
I-I don't know.
I don't know!
Auntie Kai, I need my mom.
Okay, I will. I will... I will call your mom.
Auntie, I can't die. I can't die. My mom needs me.
Toy, you're not going...
I just need you to stay calm, okay?
Just stay calm.
Okay.
All right, you're in a trunk.
Do you feel or see a lever?
A what?
A trunk release.
Something that you can pull, so that you can open the trunk.
I-I can see it.
All right. Toy, now, when the car stops,
pull it!
No, no, no, no. No, no, no.
Toy!
God!
Latoya! Why are you doing this to me?
Hey.
You all need some help?
I can call the police.
Excuse me?
Are you the one Latoya was traveling with?
Yeah.
Agent Ortega... Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
I was just hoping you could answer
a few questions for me.
I don't know anything.
I woke up and she was gone.
Now, I know there's a lot of cameras
in that truck stop.
Did they catch anything?
Unfortunately, those cameras weren't working.
Typical in most of these truck stops.
But the Amber Alert is out and we're moving fast.
I need to ask
anything I should know about Latoya?
Anyone you think might have done this?
No.
Oh, God... I gotta call Mads.
We'll resume in a while.
Here.
Whatever calls you need to make, you make.
Hey. Everything okay?
Kai.
I'm sorry, Mads.
Latoya's autistic.
Day to day, she masks fairly well,
and can move through life, uh, somewhat independently.
But, um
she struggles with, um, sudden changes
new people, environments, uh, impulse control.
Does she have any history of aggression?
No.
Running away? Wandering?
Getting lost?
I mean, when she was a kid.
Detective, my niece was kidnapped.
She didn't just "wander" into a stranger's trunk,
so why don't you tell us about that?
Kai.
We're working on that, Ms. Walker.
It's been ten hours! Where's the FBI?
This happened off the interstate, right?
Which automatically falls under federal jurisdiction.
The FBI has been looped in,
but until we confirm they've crossed state lines,
the Colorado Bureau of Investigation
is running point.
I promise you, we're doing everything we can.
We've got patrols out,
but without surveillance footage,
we are flying a little blind.
It might've have helped
if Latoya had called 9-1-1 directly.
Instead of who? Me?
- Kai! - Well
to be honest, yes.
It's unusual.
From what you told me, Latoya was put in a trunk,
seemingly unbound, with access to a phone,
yet she didn't call the police for help.
She was panicked.
Okay, but because of that, we can only go off
your account of events.
What are you implying here?
No. I-I don't mean to imply anything.
I'm just stating the facts.
We're working with limited information
with a vulnerable young woman,
so we need your help
rectifying any discrepancies in the account.
What "discrepancies"?
Well, first,
that she was thrown in a stranger's trunk.
We have reason to believe
that your daughter might have known her abductor.
No.
Abductions are often perpetrated
by friends, relatives.
I mean, is it possible that she...
We don't have any friends or relatives in the area.
Waitress said she entered past midnight,
was later joined by an Asian or Latino companion.
He presented her
with what appeared to be a bag or a gift.
At some point,
she seemed to become uncomfortable,
and left.
Kai?
Toy had been talking to a boy named... Eric.
I think...
"Eric"?
Who the hell is Eric?
All I know, there's some boy named Eric
that had been sending her gifts, and...
And what, Kai?
And he wanted to meet her.
And you're only now telling me this?
- I... - So it is possible
this is someone she met online?
I don't know. Maybe.
"Maybe"?
Mads, I was gonna...
Just
can you wait by the truck?
- Are you kidding? - Please!
Is there anything else you need from me?
The passwords to all her social media accounts.
Hopefully, we can figure out who this guy is that way.
Do you know them?
Yes, yes.
What did he say?
He said that they're looking into it,
and we should stay by our phones.
That's it?
That's it.
Say what's on your mind, Mads.
Did you encourage Toya to meet with this man?
No, Madison. I wouldn't do that.
But maybe she misunderstood what I did say.
And what did you say?
What we usually say.
"To make good choices."
But if she decided to meet with him,
then I should be there.
Kai!
I didn't know.
We don't even know if it's him for sure,
but if it turns out to be,
then you can chew my head off later.
I'll chew my own head off.
Walker Trucking.
You gotta be kidding me.
Yeah. Yeah, we got you covered.
No, it shouldn't be an issue.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Are you really routing your office calls to your phone?
Mads, how can you even think about that right now?
Because, unlike you, I still have a business to run,
and it would be nice to know
that I still have a means to support my family
when Toy comes home.
Kai...
can you stop?
Are you gonna call them?
Say what, Kai?
I don't know.
Get an update?
Maybe you and I hit the back roads
the rest areas, ask around?
So, drive around aimlessly,
doing what the State Police and FBI are already doing?
Well, it beats sitting around, twiddling our damn thumbs.
The only one twiddling is you.
Hello?
A-Agent Ortega.
Hi.
Okay.
It is.
Okay.
Okay. Yes.
Thank you.
What'd he say?
"Eric James."
He's 29 years old, from San Diego.
This man is 30 years old?
Well, I guess she doesn't tell you everything.
All right, so what do we do now?
I don't know, Kai! You tell me.
You seem to be pretty good at that.
Mads, I am just trying to help.
No, Ortega's trying to help. You're trying to dictate.
You really think
these people wanna waste their time and resources
trying to find an autistic Black girl
in the middle of friggin' Colorado backwoods?
Mads, they're not trying to find her.
They were trying to blame her!
She should've called 9-1-1.
Maybe she was scared!
Maybe she dialed the first number
that was on her speed dial.
And that's you?
I'm her mother!
That's what this is about.
You're upset because she called me
and not you.
Well, why wouldn't she call on the police
or her overbearing mother
when she's got her bad-ass, tire thumper-wielding auntie?
It's not a damn competition!
You're right, Kai.
It's not.
So...
I've printed... two versions of these flyers.
Can you help me put them up around here?
"Missing person" flyers?
Toy is not missing, she's kidnapped.
I know what the hell she is!
And please don't talk to me like I don't know what I'm doing!
You don't know what you're doing,
and there's no binder for this.
Kiss my ass, Kai.
Just because I'm not going around,
trying to beat the crap out everybody
to make myself feel better for losing my daughter
doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm doing the best that I can with what I have,
and what I have is those damn flyers!
So you can help, or not,
but please stop telling me what to do.
Where are you going, Kai?
Kai, I-I'm sorry.
I'm having a really hard time,
and I would... I really need your help right now.
Will you call me back? Please?
I need a minute.
Mads, I need a minute!
Are you serious?
You scream, I shoot.
So you're Auntie?
The one Toya calls "Angel"?
Can you relax?
You're making me nervous.
You got a gun in my face!
Calm down. I just... I just wanna talk to you.
Can you do it without the gun?
No. No.
I-I don't trust you.
What do you want?
I want the cops gone.
All of it. I want it gone!
I can't do that!
Yes, you can! Yes, you can.
- Okay. - You... You're Auntie Angel.
I'm not asking f-for a miracle,
I'm just asking you
to pick up the phone and tell them
that this is all just a big misunderstanding.
You kidnapped an innocent girl!
Little bitch ain't innocent!
All right?
She-She lied to me. She-She used me.
She-She attacked me.
You stalked her.
I didn't stalk nobody!
I-I just wanted to meet her.
That wasn't the way to do it.
Well, she ain't give me a whole lot of options.
I-I just wanted to ask, "What's-What's up?"
You know... you know, and ask her straight-up
who she's been talking...
Get away from there! Stop. Stop, stop!
- Just stop! - Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
And you know what she said?
You know what she said to me?
"I talk to a lot of people."
Like, how's that supposed to make me feel?
Okay.
And after all the time and m-money I put into her,
and I'm in the wrong?
And now I got a girl in my trunk and the cops on my ass!
Okay, you gotta let her go.
- Eric, you gotta let her go. - Shut up!
I didn't... I didn't mean for this.
Okay?
It's just got outta hand!
Oh, God.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
- Okay! - Just stop it!
Hey, Unc.
I've been better.
I don't know.
We got into it and she ran off.
Mom?
Petty arguments are our love language.
Mom?
Mom, I'm in here!
I'm tied up! I can't move!
Mom!
Mom, I'm here!
Please!
You say this is a misunderstanding?
Yeah. It's not my fault.
I just think that maybe you misunderstood.
Toy is autistic.
You don't think I know that?
I know that! Of course I...
Well, I think maybe you didn't consider it.
I think maybe you thought the friendship was one thing,
and she thought it was something else.
You saying I made all this up in my head?
- No! - Like I'm crazy? I'm not crazy!
Toya? Toya!
Toya!
Mom, I'm in here!
Mom, please! I'm tied up!
Toy!
Please!
Toya liked you.
I just think she didn't understand
how you felt about her.
You think I'm stupid or something?
No!
Get down! Get down!
No.
- Ortega. - Ortega, I found her!
She's... She's at the truck stop.
She's in the trunk of a car!
We're coming, baby!
It's a... It's a gray car.
License plate's 3-4-1-M-F-A.
Colorado. Please, hurry!
We're coming, baby.
I'm-I'm gonna get you out of here, hold on!
I just think the way you came at her,
you scared her, she was disoriented.
I don't think she understood the question.
Toy does talk to a lot of people.
You. Me.
Her mom.
The waitress.
- What am I, a kid? - No.
I'm not a kid, so just stop.
Just stop.
Pick up the damn phone, Kai!
She takes things literally.
Now, I don't know how the conversation went
she wasn't trying to step on your feelings.
She was just being her.
Dammit, Kai!
I'm gonna get you out, baby!
Eric
if this is really a misunderstanding,
and if you care about Toy,
you gotta let her go.
No. No. No.
If you care about her,
you're gonna make this go away,
or I am gonna
make her go away.
Fly, Auntie.
We're counting on you, okay?
Don't you move!
No!
Don't you move! Lay on the ground!
Don't look at me!
Please don't shoot. Please!
Put your forehead on the ground!
Please! Okay, okay. Please!
Please don't hurt her!
Keep your forehead on the pavement! Don't move.
- Don't you move! - Please don't hurt her!
Please!
I'm not playin'!
Please don't hurt her!
Please! Don't hurt her. Please.
Mom!
No!
Toy!
Wait! No!
Wait!
Toy!
Kai!
Kai! She's in the trunk of the car.
- What? - She's in the trunk of the car.
You saw her?
Yes! She's in the car!
Mads, ease up.
Ease up!
We're gonna spin out!
Where the hell have you been? I called you a dozen times!
I was held up.
Whoa, she's in the trunk. Don't get too close!
I'm not gonna hit her, Kai, but I can't let him get away.
But it's a truck, it's not a sports car.
You can't keep pushing it like that!
Mads! Look out!
No, no!
Try it again!
I am, I just... it won't...
It won't start. It won't move.
Kai, they're getting away!
I can see that, Mads! Move!
Transmission's shot.
There's no signal. I can't get a signal.
Dammit!
Breaker, breaker. Anyone out there?
Anyone?
Where you going?
I'm going to get my kid!
Now... God.
Mads!
Toy! Toy!
Madison!
Toy!
- Madison! - Toy!
Toy! Toy...
Mads!
I told you to ease up!
I'm trying to get my child!
Oh, and how did that work out for you?
Now we're stranded!
No truck, no signal, and no way to get to her!
Well, I'd have had her,
if you'd picked up the damn phone!
I had a gun in my face!
I got shot at!
Here I was I'm trying to get my child,
and you were nowhere to be found.
You wanna run after her, be my guest,
but this isn't exactly the safest place
for a Black woman to be walking around.
Mads! No!
No!
Look, I love you, Kai,
but I am sick of you telling me what to do.
I know you're going through a lot,
but you're not the only one going through this!
- My baby is gone! - She's my baby, too.
She's my daughter, Kai. Mine!
You didn't carry her inside of you.
You didn't spend countless hours researching,
or trying out diets, or-or supplements,
finding doctors, or therapists.
I've been in the trenches with you for 15 years!
I was there when your husband wasn't!
As her aunt!
Not her mother.
You get to be the cool bad-ass
while I'm the boring bitch with the binders.
You didn't experience your friends moving on
because you're "so obsessed with your kid"
that you can't do anything else.
Or your husband leaving you
because he wasn't "built for this."
Or your big sister undermining every decision you make,
constantly making me question
if I even know this child that I have poured everything into,
just... just to watch her disappear into the distance
in some psychopath's car!
She was right here!
She was right here,
and she was calling out to me, and I couldn't do anything.
I'm not you, Kai!
I needed you.
Not your thoughts
or your opinions,
just you!
I needed you.
I'm sorry.
Shut up!
I'm trying to think.
I can't do that with you screaming.
I'm sorry.
I wanna go home.
- I can't... - Please.
I can't do that.
Please, Eric.
I need a new plan.
Breaker-breaker, this is Big Country.
Can anybody assist? Route 470.
Northeast of Pueblo. Over.
Just hold on, please.
Just hold on.
Hold on, Toy.
We're gonna come.
Everything's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay. Just hold on.
We're coming for you, Toy. We're coming.
Breaker, breaker.
Please, somebody respond.
Breaker, breaker.
This is Big Country looking for an assist on Route 470.
Over.
Big Country...
Over.
Can you assist? Over.
What's your 10-20? Over.
Route 470.
Northeast of Pueblo. Over.
Did you get that?
I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere,
so I don't know if anybody's gonna see this...
So here it goes.
Most of you probably know me as "Big Country".
I was invited to do
this "Who Gives A Truck?" challenge
by Clutch Doctor.
Honestly, I was going to ignore it,
but I'm desperate.
My dad always talked about this community
like it was a family.
My family needs help.
My niece was taken
at a truck stop
by a guy named Eric James, 29,
from San Diego.
This is my niece...
Latoya.
She's on the autism spectrum.
She's a great kid.
She's funny.
She's smart as hell.
A smart-ass, sometimes.
She thinks of me as her protector
this bad-ass warrior that I'm trying to live up to,
but I can't do it on my own.
This is my shot in the dark.
So if anyone out there "gives a truck,"
please help me find her.
Stop it.
Eric! No!
No! No!
No!
Ahh! Ah!
You need to eat something.
And you need to talk to me.
I messed up, Mads,
and... not the way you think.
I inserted myself in your marriage.
I... I had all this smoke for your man
and none for my own
until he started beating up on me.
Beating on you?
When did this happen?
That's why I came back.
I was...
I was trapped in this toxic cycle
that I couldn't find my way out of,
until I was ten weeks pregnant,
hiding from him in a broom closet.
It wasn't until I actually thought
he might kill me
that I finally...
I finally called Daddy.
Pregnant?
Jesus, Kai,
and Daddy knew this?
Yeah.
Why would you never tell me?
Because I'm big, bad Kai!
I mean, how does it look that I'm getting beat up on?
And, besides, you... you had enough going on.
Kai
you could've told me.
I'm your big sister.
I'm supposed to protect you,
and how can I protect you if I can't even protect myself?
Daddy saved me,
and I lost
any hope
of having a family of my own,
so I decided to pour everything I had
into you and Toy.
And now Dad's gone,
and Toy's
out there,
and the thing that I thought I had put behind me
is still paralyzing me,
and I'm still scared.
I'm still scared.
I'm sorry.
The best part about having a big sister
is that you have someone to help carry the load.
You carry a lot,
but you should've never had to carry that alone.
Next to Daddy,
you're the bravest person I know.
I need you.
I need my big sister,
because I can't do this without you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you. Okay.
So... last night, while we were stranded
at the ass-end of the ass-end of nowhere...
Mm-hmm?
They put up road blocks and checkpoints
along the interstate and the back roads.
Ortega is pretty confident that he hasn't left the state.
So, the next plan
is to either box him in or squeeze him out.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
It's had a good run.
We don't know that yet.
Yes, we do.
So?
Good news, bad news... which you want first?
Good.
Good news is, that's the best-looking
30-year-old truck I've ever seen.
- Hmm. - So the bad?
It's a 30-year-old truck.
The amount of work that'd need to go into it,
you're better off just buying a new truck.
Now, when you-you say "work,"
like, what kind of work are you...
Kai.
It's got 3 million miles and lots of wear-and-tear.
Needs a complete overhaul on it.
I get it. She's dead.
I'd definitely say it's time to lay her to rest.
I'll give Uncle Jimmy a call.
Just got a text from Donna.
She said to meet her at the Crossroads Truck Stop.
Doing okay?
It's just a truck.
Oh, come on.
There, there, there.
There, there.
It's okay.
We're gonna find her.
It's busy, huh?
Yeah. Oh, there's Donna.
They're here!
What is this, Kai?
I don't know. This isn't you?
Hey, Donna.
W-What is this?
Well, ask Kai.
I have no idea what this is.
You called, we answered.
Figured you ladies could use some support.
I ain't seen nobody roll up here all night.
Should be safe for a few hours, at least.
You're lucky you messed with a nice guy like me.
So your aunt was telling me
that you have trouble understanding subtext
which makes sense,
'cause if you knew how much I cared about you,
and that I don't wanna hurt you, Toya,
and, you know, you hurt me first, so
this is on you and
everything that comes after this is on you.
Are you hungry?
Yeah? I got something.
Just a little pie.
Don't scream anymore, okay?
Please?
Here. Can you eat?
You can eat if you want.
Come on.
Are you too good for food?
Here. Eat.
Eat it. Eat it!
What the hell is wrong with you?
I wanna go home!
I treat you so well and this is how you repay me?
Fine.
If you wanna stay here and rot, that's fine.
I gotta go find a new car for us anyway.
If you're still alive when I get back
then I'll figure out what to do with you.
Figured you could use a drink.
You got anything stronger?
How you holding up?
By a thread.
I can imagine.
You know, when I posted that video,
I expected some, you know, well wishes maybe,
but nothing like this, so thank you.
It was nothing.
No, it was huge.
Daddy used to always go on about the trucking community,
and, uh, I never felt it, I never seen it
until I met you.
Well, if I can be honest with you, Kai...?
Yeah, sure.
I don't think you were really looking for it.
Hey... and I don't blame you... I get it!
A woman on these streets, especially a Black woman,
you best keep your head down and go about your business.
But most of us out here are on the move
either to some place, or away from some place.
And you
you been running.
That obvious?
All right, well, what about you?
Are you moving... or running?
I was on the move.
Past tense?
A life on the move
makes you appreciate the importance of being still.
In that stillness,
you find solitude,
and solitude makes you appreciate community,
or, in your case, family.
You got family out here, Kai.
I just wish you'd called on us sooner.
Son of a bitch.
Breaker, breaker.
This is Sugar Bear.
If anyone out there gives a truck,
please respond.
Mads! Hey.
Hey, Clutch.
- Oh. - Mm.
Thank you.
Come on now. You know we got you.
I'll give y'all some space.
Glad to see my trauma
hasn't put a damper on your love life.
Stop.
So you finally met the Clutch Doctor.
You know Clutch?
Yeah! He's worked at the shop for years,
before you came back.
Daddy loved that boy.
So, um, Donna told me
about your truckers' video challenge.
Thank you.
I would do anything for you, including staying at the shop,
if that's what you want.
I want to find Toy,
and then...
I want you to find happiness... wherever that is.
Hey! A trucker a few towns over
thinks he might've seen your guy.
It's not far. Should we get eyes?
- Yeah! - Come on.
Sugar Bear, this is Road Momma.
We are on the east side of the parking lot.
Do you still have eyes on that guy?
He went into the building.
Haven't seen him come out yet.
What's he wearing?
He's wearing green pants and a blue shirt,
ball hat, and sunglasses.
- All right. Copy. - Okay.
No. He knows you.
She's right.
Box him in if he tries to leave.
All right.
All right. Got it?
All right, we're heading in now.
Come on.
Ahh. Argh!
Is he there?
Hold on. We're looking.
Donna, check around that corner.
See if you can spot him.
Nothing here.
Wait! Hold on.
I see him!
We've got him! It's him!
- Copy. - Copy.
You stay put.
I'll be right back.
Let's go. He's going, he's going!
All right, he's on the move!
Get back! Get back!
Okay. All right.
- Stay back! - Where is she?
I didn't mean for this!
Where's my daughter?
I see him.
Where's my niece?
Talk! Talk.
Hell no!
Kick his ass, Kai!
Where is she?
Where is my daughter?
I'm not telling you!
Did you hurt her?
I-I didn't hurt her! She hurt me!
Tell me where she is!
Ahh!
Tell me where she is!
Cops, cops, cops.
They should've been there by now.
Why haven't we heard anything?
All clear. No one on the premises.
Sorry.
Where is she?
We're gonna find her. We're gonna find her!
Where is she?
Breaker, breaker. This is Big Country. Over.
Breaker, breaker. This is Big Country.
Can anyone hear me?
Breaker, breaker. This is Big Country.
I need help.
Please help me, please.
Toy? Toy, is that you?
Auntie Kai, is that you?
Are you with my mom?
Yes, baby.
I'm here.
Mom...
I wanna go home.
Can... Can you come pick me up, please?
We're coming, baby!
17-year-old Latoya Walker
vanished by the Colorado truck stop
after she met a man online.
With no working surveillance cameras,
investigators took to her social media,
and those DMs helped identify the suspect.
Tonight,
Latoya's home safe,
thanks to her own daring escape,
as well as the help of some unexpected heroes.
After a two-day manhunt,
the trail had gone cold
that is, until Latoya's aunt, Kai Walker,
sought help online from the trucker community.
Her post was massive,
as truckers across the state
called in with tips and sightings
that ultimately led to the culprit's arrest...
Oh, hey, T.
Ooh, donuts.
You're welcome!
Thank you.
- Hey! - Hey! What are you up to?
Busy, busy.
Morris again?
Better.
Better?
You got it running?
Yeah, it cost a bit, but I think it was worth it,
for your retirement.
You did this for me?
Yeah. Well
how's that retirement looking?
Damn good.
O-kay!
Clutch.
Big Country.
Kai. Just Kai.
Okay... Kai.
Robert.
So, you wanna check it out or just stare at my pretty face?
I'm gonna check out the truck.
Go on then!
Okay.
You can keep her.
Seriously?
That's really sweet,
but who's gonna watch over you while I'm gone?
Well, the cool thing about guardian angels
is they're never too far away.
I love you so damn much.
Hi! Scooch-scooch!
You like?
I don't know what to say.
Well, I know how much Daddy's rig means to you.
Are you trying to bribe me out of retirement, Mads?
- Is it working? - No.
Seriously, this is the least I could do
after everything you've done for me.
So.
Whatever you decide,
I got your back.
Oh, and the "Clutch" thing
really, Mads?
I thought it was a nice touch.
Nice touch, okay.
"A touch of Clutch."
That's so corny.
Stop. Stop!
