[cell phone ringing]
[Brooke]: Hello?
Hello? Danika?
[car tires screeching]
[♪]
[screaming]
[♪]
[screaming]
[Brooke]: Danika, is that you?
Danika!
Danika?
Danika!
What's going on?
Danika!
Danika?
[Brooke]: Danika?
- You're going to be late for psych.
- I'm going to be early for Behavioral Pathology.
Psych was three semesters ago.
- Well, if you want breakfast,
there's buttermilk pancakes on the island.
- Buttermilk doesn't work for me anymore, Mom.
I'm off dairy, remember?
Vegan.
- Okay.
Be back for dinner?
[door closing]
[cell phone vibrating]
- I got up in the middle of the night...
Around 2 AM.
I remember looking at the clock thinking,
"Was it too early for me to get out of bed
and start my day"?
And he wasn't there.
He wasn't anywhere.
I searched the whole house.
- Ms. Griffiths.
Do you believe that your husband killed
Danika Marston and Robin Drake?
- Yes.
I do.
Yes I do.
- It's okay.
I understand.
I love you.
[cell phone vibrating]
[♪]
- Alright, it's called a "chiffonade",
so you wanna take your herbs and you roll'em up real tight,
like this...
And then you chop as thinly as you can.
You have to remember to roll your fingers,
protect your digits, alright?
Its' very important. You see?
- Yeah, no. I see it.
- Look...
if you wanna be my sous-chef one day,
you might want to put down the poetry
and learn to prep at least something.
- I'll... do the ice.
- You'll do the ice...
You'll do the dishes, is what you'll do.
We're less than a month away from opening, so...
you might wanna get to scrubbing.
Or you can actually listen to this very valuable
cooking lesson.
- Here.
[phone camera shutter]
- Look, the perfect "chiffon" or whatever.
For reference.
Sorry, I know, it's just...
I've got a lot on my mind.
- What is it?
school?
- I don't know, I've just been...
dreaming about her a lot.
About Danika.
The night she died.
The more I dream about it, the more I remember.
Or, I think I remember...
- No!
- I don't know... I can't tell.
I think about her every day.
- Yeah, me too.
- Oh, God. Alexander, I'm so sorry.
I wasn't thinking...
I shouldn't have...
said anything.
- There's nothing to apologize for.
I should be thanking you.
- Thanking me?
I've dragged you into this whole mess,
I keep making you...
relive the trauma...
- Yeah but...
talking about her and...
about what happened.
I mean, it...
hurts, and it makes me sad sometimes, but...
This journey that you're on, it-it just shows me
how much you loved Danika.
And, it...
reminds me of how wonderful she was.
I mean, she's...
the most wonderful daughter anyone could ever want.
I bet your mom says the same thing about you.
- Ha.
Not likely.
- Alright, come up.
You're up.
Let's see your chiffonade.
- Sounds like a dress I wouldn't wear.
But... sure, sounds fun.
- What's up? What's wrong? Everything okay?
- It's about Dad.
Have you heard anything?
- Last I heard uh...
my guys in the kitchen said he's doing alright.
At least he's eating well.
- I need to go.
- Mm-hm.
What class is it?
No, no she didn't mention anything.
But she'll get back on track, I'll make sure of it.
Okay, thanks for calling.
Alright, bye.
Brooke!
Brooke...
Where is she?
[cell phone ringing]
- This is Brooke.
Just text me, calling is stupid.
[cell phone beeping]
- Brooke, where are you?
The dean just called and said you're failing
associative learning on top of cognition,
and whatever phsycholinguistics--
Get home. Now.
[♪]
[door opening]
- Hey.
- Hey, Dad.
Laura said you had something to tell me?
- I quit smoking.
- That's it?
You brought me in to tell me that?
- I thought you'd be happy.
- Dad, you're on death row.
- I just wanted to show you that I could do it,
that's all.
- Okay.
I get it.
I'm proud of you.
But, they didn't grant unscheduled visiting hours
just because you quit smoking.
- No, they...
they didn't.
The appeal got denied.
Look, I'm...
I'm sorry, but they're moving ahead
with the execution.
- What?
- I'm sorry, baby, but...
we did the best we could.
- No.
No, no! That can't be right.
That can't be right!
What about the gas station attendant?
He recanted his testimony!
This is crazy!
- It doesn't make a difference.
Nobody wants to admit that they were wrong--
- Five jury members said they would have changed
their verdict if the DNA had been excluded!
Five!
- Brooke!
- And what about all the evidence the prosecution
withheld?
They barely had anything in discovery!
- Brooke!
- Okay, Laura said we could still petition the governor.
I'll...
I'll call that guy at the newspaper again, and...
and maybe--
- Brooke, please.
It's over, I'm sorry.
You have to let this go.
You have to let me go, Brooke.
- No.
- Brooke...
Brooke!
- Are you okay?
- What?
- Did you get into an accident?
Are-are you hurt?
- No... I'm fine.
- Good.
Then tell me where you were.
- School.
- No, you weren't.
The dean called.
Try again.
- What does it matter?
- What does it matter?!
You're flunking out, Brooke.
You're in your senior year, okay?
You're almost finished...
Do you know how many strings I had to pull
to get you into college in the first place? Huh?
Especially after what happened in high school.
And now you got the dean calling me?
- Oh, please.
The dean's your old sorority sister, Mom,
so don't get carried away.
She's probably calling to... "talk about brunch".
- Just tell me where you were,
and we can move on from there.
- I'm an adult, Mother.
I don't have to go to class if I don't want to.
- You're over 18.
But you're not an adult, by the least bit.
Adults don't forget their responsibilities--
- To what?
To try and save my Dad's life?
- What are you talking about?
- His last appeal was denied.
They're going to execute him, Mom!
- That has nothing to do with us.
That's all on him.
- It's on you!
- You put him away!
You're the reason he's going to die!
- He killed two girls, Brooke!
Two of your friends, two of your best friends!
He is where he is...
because of him.
- See?
You can't even say it!
You can't even admit what you did to him!
- What I did to him?
I told the truth.
To protect you.
- But he didn't do it!
That's the truth!
And I'm going to prove it!
- What's going on, Brooke?
- I've been working with Laura. Okay?
- Laura Ansley? His attorney?
- And we've found so much that's wrong with the case.
Evidence that was contaminated, even hidden.
DNA tests that were inconclusive.
Witnesses who lied.
- First of all, I didn't lie.
I'm an attorney, okay?
I know the difference between fact and fiction!
- It's a fact that he didn't do it.
And his own wife didn't believe him!
He loved you, Mom.
He still does!
And you put him to jail, because what?
What, you were pissed off about...
about the money problems?
The business issues--
- "The Business issues?"
Oh God, I wish it was just "the business issues".
What about the fraud, huh?
The embezzlement!
The gambling!
Our life savings, gone!
Huh?
If you only knew the secrets
that your father was keeping--
- That doesn't mean he killed anybody!
Come on! You know him!
- I thought I knew him!
You're right...
I thought I knew him.
I told the truth.
Do you know how hard it was to sit up on that
witness stand, and tell the entire world that
my husband is a killer?
A man I loved over 20 years?
Do you ever think about how hard that was for me?
Our entire family...
Or do you just think about yourself?
- I'm not thinking about myself, Shenae.
I'm thinking about dad.
- You better watch your mouth, little girl...
- You know what?
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Ever!
- Brooke, get back here.
Brooke, I am talking to you!
Brooke, get back--
[phone ringing]
- This is Brooke.
Just text me, calling is stupid.
[phone beeping]
- Brooke, sweetheart, where are you?
Come home, okay?
I'm worried.
- Shenae, it's good to see you again.
I've been trying to call you about Leo--
- It's Ms. Griffiths. Where is she?
- What?
- Brooke. Is she here?
- Why would Brooke be... here?
- You're a bad liar, Laura.
Which is why you're not a better lawyer.
- Spoken like a true prosecutor.
Which is exactly why I'm a public defender.
People deserve a good defense against lawyers,
like you.
- Where's my daughter?
- I don't know.
- I know you've been helping her out on her...
her quest.
Which is highly unethical, by the way.
- Unethical?
She's trying to help her innocent father
off of death row.
I can't think of anything more ethical than helping her.
- Or-or, is this about you getting your name out?
Some publicity?
I mean, ever since you've taken over this case,
you've been on every TV show, every--
- Because I believe in Leo's innocence.
And sometimes, public opinion is the only way.
- Leo is a murderer.
What do you not understand about that?
- Shenae.
I know this is tough for you...
- Nothing is more tough than tearing your own family apart.
Nothing.
And I know you may never understand that.
And neither does Brooke.
But it's kept her safe.
It's kept all the little girls in Millwood safe.
I did what I had to do.
And I'd do it all over again.
- I know you would, Shenae.
And you'd still be wrong.
Here. Just... take a look.
That's all I'm asking.
- We're obviously quite pleased with the verdict.
The evidence was irrefutable...
[Prosecutor]: Leo Griffiths did kill Danika Marston
and Robin Drake.
We're really glad that the jury was able to put
all the pieces together.
Especially with the bodies being found
at the construction site owned by Leo Griffith's company.
Also, the DNA evidence...
[Prosecutor]: that linked him to the crime.
That was pivotal for us in this case.
Also the things that were found
belonging to the young women, at his home...
Clearly that was pointing in his direction...
And most importantly, that really kind of closed
things for us, was the testimony
by Griffiths' own wife.
Very powerful, on the stand,
talking about her own truths.
Now the jury has done their duty...
we definitely will be doing ours
and we'll be seeking the death penalty.
Thank you.
[gavel slamming]
- What do you expect me to do with that?
I'm a prosecutor, Laura.
And you and I both know that there is no such thing
as a perfect case.
- Look...
I know you think I'm just in this for the publicity.
But I believe in Leo's innocence.
And I'm not just going to let it go.
I can't.
That file...
- Nothing in here could possibly make me feel
any worse about what I did.
But I had to do it.
And all I want to do now, is find Brooke.
- Leo's last appeal got denied.
I thought Brooke should hear it from her dad,
so I told her to go see him.
But...
visiting hours were done long ago.
I'm sorry - I'm not sure I can help.
[door closing]
[cell phone ringing]
- You've reached Alexander Marston.
Leave a message.
- Alex, I'm going to the storage unit.
I want to go over some of dad's business records again,
the projects he was working on,
see if there's anything.
Can you help?
There's just so much stuff...
[motorcycle engine revving]
[Brooke]: Danika?
[car tires screeching]
[rumbling]
[struggling]
[cell phone ringing]
- Good morning.
I know it's early, but Brooke didn't come home last night,
and I was wondering if she talked to Annabel...
Okay.
Thanks for your time.
Alright, bye.
[Detective August]: Good to see you again.
- Brooke didn't come home last night.
- Do you have any reason to believe she's in danger?
- Yes. She didn't come home last night.
- I'm just trying to get all the information here.
Has she done this before?
- No, or obviously I wouldn't be here.
- Brooke's what, 21 now?
- 21.
- Okay, so she's an adult.
She can take care of herself.
She can make her own choices--
- I understand that.
But I'm her mother.
And I'm worried...
You know her.
You know she's not like this.
- Have you tried all her friends?
- Of course.
And they haven't seen or heard from her since the fight.
- About?
- About her dad's execution day.
She got upset and she left.
- Do you think it's possible
Brooke's maybe just blowing off steam?
- Yes.
I think that that's possible,
but I need you to help me make sure.
August, please.
- I will put her description out
over the radios.
We will look for her, but she will probably
come back before we find her.
- Thanks.
- Shenae, wait.
Please.
Please...
Look...
I know the past few years have been difficult with Brooke.
But I want you to know that you did the right thing.
You saved lives.
- Tell Brooke that.
[door opening]
- Shenae, I'm really going to need you to start
calling ahead of time.
- I know, I know, I know, I'm-I'm sorry.
I know you're doing your little job,
the best way you know how.
- Excuse me?
My job is cleaning up mistakes
that you and your team shouldn't even make--
- I probably shouldn't have said some of things
that I said yesterday...
- You shouldn't have said most of it.
- I know, and that's why I'm saying...
I'm sorry.
- Fine.
I understand things are complicated
between you and Brooke.
- Yeah, well, that...
That doesn't matter right now, okay?
I need your help.
Brooke still isn't home.
And she hasn't been seen or heard from since
yesterday.
- Alright, um...
I can see why you're worried, but...
you know, she's an adult.
- Yes, I get it.
She's an adult, yes.
But I'm still her mom, and I'm concerned.
Look, I know everything with Leo is bringing up
all of these terrible emotions for both of us.
I've been feeling it for months.
It's been tearing us apart, and just...
taking us down.
But I need to find her, so that I can fix it.
So please...
- Okay.
You're right.
How can I help?
- So, um...
How long have you been...
working with Brooke?
- About... two years now.
- Two years?!
Alright.
Well, there's obviously some things
that I don't know about my daughter,
which I hope you can help me understand.
Is there, um...
is there anywhere that you think she could be,
right now?
- Uh... She's been visiting her storage unit.
- Stora-- What storage unit?
- After the conviction, and the divorce went through,
she rescued Leo's things after you had
the house cleaned out.
- "Rescued"...
- She's been keeping them in a storage locker, and
we've been going through things, slowly,
trying to find any information to help Leo's case.
It can calm her down.
- I had no idea.
- Look, I'm sorry that she's keeping secrets from you.
I am.
I told her she should just be honest with you, but...
- Look, that doesn't matter.
Do you have the key to the storage unit?
- Yes.
It's two blocks, east from here.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[door creaking]
[rumbling]
[creaking]
- Ah! Shenae?
Is that you?
- Alexander?
- What are you doing here?
- I'm looking for Brooke. What are you doing here?
- Same thing.
- What the hell is going on?
Are you okay?
Oh...
August is sending over some officers,
even though he thinks she's just "blowing off steam".
- Well, it's definitely possible.
I mean, she's been having a hard time lately.
I'm sorry, I should have let you know.
- Been hearing that a lot today.
- She called me last night, and asked me
to meet her down here.
She said that she needed help going through
some files, or something.
- When did this all start?
I thought you were giving her cooking lessons,
not trying to crack a case.
- That's what it was, at first.
We thought maybe she would work at the restaurant
when it was finished, or maybe even help volunteer
with my guys who do workshops at the prison.
Then she started asking questions, about Danika.
- I, um...
Alex, I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter.
For what my husband--
For what Leo did.
I don't think I've ever said that to you before.
- Thank you.
It's not your fault.
- So, what did um...
What did Brooke say? About Leo?
What kind of questions did she ask?
- Little details;
things that weren't adding up for her.
She wanted to know if I had any information
that the police were missing.
Then she started telling about her theories,
her "investigation".
At first, I... I was upset...
I know Leo did what he did.
I want him to pay.
And the thought of someone trying to find reasonable doubt?
Even if it was Danika's best friend.
it was too much for me.
- I'm sorry.
- But then I realized...
what she was doing, it could help.
Maybe not in the way that she thought,
what she was saying... she made good points.
I mean, the police investigation was sloppy.
[Alexander]: It was rushed.
They knew they had their man, so they weren't as...
diligent as they could have been...
as they should have been.
[Shenae]: That's an understatement...
- So there were holes in the case.
And doubts.
I had them, Brooke had them.
And I'd be willing to bet you had them, too.
I just thought if I helped her...
find every inconsistency, every...
gap, every missing piece...
Maybe...
we could all get some closure.
I wanted to find that peace.
That certainty.
And I thought it was important that...
that Brooke felt that, too.
Do you understand?
- I'm trying to.
Um... What did she find?
- A bunch of puzzle pieces.
You know, clues that didn't add up.
Individually, they didn't make up for a lot,
but when you put them all together...
Shenae...
Brooke genuinely believes that Leo is innocent.
Now you know and I know that he's guilty.
But if you want to fix things between you, two.
We have to prove it. Once and for all.
- I found this.
It's a charm from her bracelet.
Her and Danika had matching ones.
It's very special to her.
- Are you sure this is from last night?
You said "she's there all the time".
- Why are you fighting me on this?
Are you tracking her...
her bank statements?
Are you checking her phone?
Look, I have...
These are all the passwords that I have.
Some are from her email, some from her phone.
I don't have all of her socials, but--
- We need warrants for all this.
You're a prosecutor. You know this.
- We're not collecting evidence!
Forget the warrant!
Okay? She's in trouble!
Trace her phone.
Look, you have my permission!
- She's an adult. I can't.
- I get it, she's an adult.
But trace her phone, August.
Trace it!
And spare me the perfect cop act,
you've been on both sides of the law.
- Yeah, I have.
And that makes me better at my job.
But I also know Brooke,
and I know she's just like her mom.
- Why are you not believing me?
Why are you not listening to me?
- I am listening.
- No, you're not.
- I hear you! But, look...
Brooke's been here a few times.
To talk about her dad.
- Does everyone know about this but me?
I mean...
what did you tell her?
- That the case is closed.
Leo did this. I'm sure of it.
Are you?
- I just wanted to know what Brooke was getting herself into.
I mean, who does she think did this?
- She has a lot of theories.
Some of them are out there.
I talked to the chief about it, when I put out the BOLO.
- What?
- He's concerned she might be trying to
draw attention to her theories.
So we take her more seriously.
A way to force the police to get involved.
- You think that my daughter is "faking it"
for attention?
- Not attention.
At least, not for her.
For Leo's case.
Look, it's just an idea.
- My daughter is in trouble,
and you're blaming her?
- I'm not blaming her, Shenae. Look, we--
- It's Ms. Griffiths, Detective.
[cell phone ringing]
Laura. It's Shenae.
I want to see everything you've got.
- I need you to run a phone trace...
- Hey!
Hey! Listen, you can let me go, okay?
I won't say anything.
Please...
My mom's a prosecutor.
She works with cops all day long.
She'll find you.
I know she will.
But if you let me go, I won't tell her anything.
I'll just...
I'll just say I ran away...
please... please...
Please! I haven't even seen your face!
I don't know what you look like!
Just let me go!
I won't say anything!
Please!
There's nothing I could say, even if I wanted to!
Please! Please!
[muffled voice]
- What did you find?
Convince me.
- Okay.
Let's start from the beginning.
Robin Drake went missing August 31st,
two days before school started.
Straight-A student, working really hard
to get a college scholarship.
Mostly because she wanted an excuse
to get out of her house.
- She told her parents she was coming over for
a sleepover with Brooke.
But, Brooke didn't know anything about it, I...
I didn't know anything about it, and uh...
Leo said he didn't know anything about it.
- That's right, and the jury didn't believe him.
Look, there was all those references to an older man
in her diaries.
Everyone just assumed that it was Leo.
Maybe she was trying to leave her parents a hint.
But there was never any direct evidence
pointing to him.
Some of it suggested that she might have hurt herself.
That was the prevailing theory at the time.
- Until Danika died.
Sorry, Alex.
- It's okay.
I need to hear this.
- Okay.
Um, Danika disappeared about two months later,
November 9th.
She left her house sometime after 11 PM.
- That was the last time I...
I saw her.
I went in to say goodnight.
But we skipped doing all the things that night...
Sorry.
Let's-let's keep going.
- Okay.
The night of Danika's disappearance,
Shenae woke up, realized Leo wasn't there.
- Yeah, we fought about money that night,
and he said he couldn't sleep, so he went out for a drive...
- A gas station attendant saw him filling up
around 2 AM.
Said that he looked nervous and had blood on his shirt...
- Brooke talked to him.
Turns out he did see Leo, but the blood?
He made that up.
Says he got "swept up in the idea of catching a killer".
- But nevertheless, the call came in
after he'd already left the house.
- That's right. Danika called Brooke at 1:38 AM.
Woke her up.
- She had to listen to what would happen next...
- Please...
- Brooke said that she's been having dreams lately,
about that call.
- Yeah, she told me about that.
- She's been remembering details.
Things that she couldn't recall at first.
- But she's not sure what's real
and what's a part of the nightmares.
- Okay what-what... what details?
- I don't know.
She kept writing notes, in her dream journal.
[cell phone vibrating]
- Oh! Sorry.
Hey August, you're on speakerphone,
did you find her?
- No. But I did send a forensic team to the storage locker.
- Okay, did they find anything?
[Detective August]: We found traces of blood.
Listen, it's not a significant amount.
It could be from a small cut, or a nosebleed...
But I wanted you to know we are testing it,
and upgrading the case to a missing persons.
- Wait a minute, you're just now doing that?
- Shenae, I talked to you about this.
- Well, let me explain something to you.
[Shenae]: Every minute you spent pretending
this was some kind of hoax,
was one minute closer to something
terrible happening to my daughter.
- I promise you, we're doing everything we can to find her.
- Well, it's not enough.
It wasn't enough when you arrested Leo,
and it's not enough now.
Brooke was onto something.
And somebody involved in these murders
must have found out, okay?
We need to find her ourselves.
we can't waste any more time.
We need to know what she knows, who she told.
Her... her notes, her journals, where are they?
- I... I don't have them.
She said she kept them at home.
Said she was keeping them safe.
- I think I know where they are.
- Check under the bed.
- You really got her figured out?
- Yeah, well.
A rebellious daughter is no match for a mother
who works criminal cases, so...
Bingo.
These last couple of pages are notes on her nightmares.
- It's everything she's been remembering.
- "Bird calls. Crickets. Music."
Motorcycle...
[motorcycle idling]
[Shenae]: Motorcycle.
Didn't that gym teacher always ride a motorcycle
to school?
[Alexander]: Coach Buchanan.
He was a suspect before the DNA came back to Leo.
I think Laura still has some of his interview transcripts.
[motorcycle engine revving]
- He still live in town?
- I can't believe he stayed in town.
- Well, there was never enough to charge him with.
Trust me, I pushed for it.
I mean, come on, a coach grooming his students like that?
But with no physical evidence
it's hard to prosecute in cases like that.
Let's go.
- It's just a backyard.
- It's a junkyard.
What is all this?
- Don't shine it in the windows!
- Okay, okay.
- Okay, there's nothing here, let's go.
Seriously, what are we even doing here?
We need to call the police.
- You do that. I'm gonna go find my daughter.
- Shenae!
What are you doing?
Are you nuts?
- Watch your head...
- What are you doing? Where are you going?
You can't go in there. We shouldn't be in here!
- This guy is into some weird stuff...
No.
- What? What?
- No. No, no, no, no...
That's creepy.
Okay now, that's creepy.
- Okay, we-we shouldn't be in here...
What are you doing?
You're making too much noise!
- Why would he have this?
- What?
- Pictures of the girls...
Do you think he could be the real killer?
- I don't know, but we gotta get out of here...
- Do you think Brooke could be here?
- What?
- We need to look for her!
We need to look for Brooke!
- Shh! Quiet!
- Brooke!
Brooke!
- Shhhh!!
Shh!
- Brooke.
- What if someone's home?
- We have to find her!
- Shh!
- We've looked in here.
- Oh my God...
- What?
- Look at all this...
Oh my God, what?
[clattering]
- What are you doing?
Shh! Shh...
[footsteps upstairs]
- Who's there?!
- Go, go, go!
- What do you want?!
[♪]
[shotgun cocking]
- Get away from me!
[shotgun firing]
- What the hell was that about?
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to put you at risk like that...
I just want to find my daughter.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
- I know...
- I know.
- I can't believe you did that!
You could have gotten hurt, or arrested!
How are you supposed to help Brooke from a jail cell?
- What are you even complaining about?
You were in here, safe and sound
going through 10 years of financial reports.
Give me a break.
- Yeah! Because that might actually be helpful!
- Look, Leo owed a lot of people money!
What if someone he defrauded took Brooke and--
- This isn't about fraud!
This is about Buchanan.
[cell phone vibrating]
That's who we need to be looking at.
- Laura speaking.
- What is it?
- Leo just confessed to the Millwood Murders.
- What...
- Ms. Griffiths?
Can you tell me what this is?
- Financial documents.
Our life savings, retirement fund,
Brooke's college fund...
- Can you tell me what was in those accounts?
- Nothing.
Nothing.
Not anymore.
- Were you aware that they were empty?
That your...
your husband drained them, to cover his growing debts?
- No.
But after these past few weeks, nothing surprises me.
- Thank you.
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hello?
[Operator] : Please hold.
Inmate 12516 will be connecting shortly.
- Leo?
- I guess you heard.
- Yeah.
- You were right, all along.
I thought you'd be happy.
- Why'd you do it?
- I don't want to talk about it.
What's important is that this will all be over soon.
- No. I mean, why did you confess?
- Because the families of those girls deserve closure.
Brooke deserves closure.
You-you deserve to just move on with your life.
- Don't give me that.
You spent years saying that you were innocent.
[Shenae]: And now you even have
your latest public defender convinced.
She's a smart one.
- Shenae, why did you want to speak to me?
- Because Brooke is sure that you're innocent.
And this will break her.
- It'll set her free.
- What are you saying?
- I won't see Brooke before this is all over.
I need you to tell her I'm sorry.
And if you need answers to any of your questions...
you don't have to wait until I'm gone to see what
I left behind.
- What are you talking about?
- My...
my old construction sites...
I used to take the girls there.
Maybe it can help you understand...
what happened.
Maybe it can help Brooke.
- What are you trying to tell me?
- I got to go.
Tell Brooke I love her.
And Shenae?
I'm sorry.
- So am I.
[phone off-hook tone]
[♪]
- Expecting company?
Like an entire company?
- Yeah... I tell myself it's menu planning.
But I think it's just stress relief.
Uh... what happened?
- I talked to Leo, and I think he knows
what happened to Brooke.
- You think he's a part of it?
You think he's working with Buchanan?
- No.
I don't know-- well, I-I...
I don't think so.
But what I do think is whoever killed Danika,
whether Buchanan or not, they took Brooke
before she could do any more digging into this case
and made Leo confess.
- You think that they got to Leo and told him
to confess, or they'd... hurt Brooke?
- Yeah, maybe.
Which means she's still out there,
and we still have a chance to find my baby.
- How?
- Leo said something odd...
he kept talking about his...
his old construction sites.
Like he was trying to hint me, or something.
- I don't follow. I don't get it.
What do you mean?
- Well, when Leo's company went under,
he had to abandon a lot of projects.
Some of them are still there, deserted.
Maybe that's where Brooke's being held.
- How would the killer get that info to Leo?
- I've been a prosecutor long enough to know that
there's a million ways to get information inside.
There could be a kite, burner phone, crooked C.O.,
cleaning crew.
Maybe the killer got a photo to Leo,
and he recognized something in the background.
I know it's a long shot,
but I definitely think it's worth looking into.
- Even if you're right, how would we know
which site to look at?
- Leo had records.
And Brooke kept them, in a storage unit.
And-and Laura had some, as well.
- Okay... Okay.
Let's do this. Let's go.
- Hey.
I, um...
I want to thank you, for helping me.
With everything you've been through, you still...
You're still helping me,
and I just want to let you know I appreciate it.
- Of course.
I know what you're going through.
Believe me, even...
More than you understand.
You were there when Danika...
I want to be here for you now.
Any way that I can.
And I want to find whoever did this to our daughters.
- I'm sorry...
- None of this is your fault.
- I'm scared, Alex.
- I know.
- I'm scared.
I don't know where she is...
- I'm sorry, I can't.
I am...
- I'm sorry - I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
- No, no, no - it's um...
it's fine.
- No, I--
-It's fine.
- I don't know why I did that.
- No, no, no... it's um...
- I don't know what's wrong with me, sorry.
- I know our emotions are all over the place.
It's... it's a lot, and I know we're overwhelmed, so...
- Are-are we okay?
- Yeah.
I just want-- I want to focus on Brooke.
I don't have space for anything else
and I don't want anything to distract from that.
- Of course. Of course.
- Let's get back to it.
- Okay.
- I'm going to go back home
and see if I find any more of her notebooks.
- What do you want me to do?
- The storage unit.
I didn't get a chance to look around,
and the cops said they did, but...
I don't have faith in the way
they're handling this case, so...
We can meet back up at Laura's tonight?
- Yes, perfect.
- Okay - alright, well...
we're good.
[♪]
[thundering]
[rustling]
[panting]
[screaming]
[thundering]
- Thanks for meeting me here.
- It looks like the cops emptied out the storage unit.
There's nothing there.
Did you find anything in Brooke's room?
- No, maybe Laura did...
- Where is she?
- I don't know.
She's not answering my texts,
but the door was open; it was unlocked.
- Well maybe she just stepped out.
Do you want to... wait for her?
- No, no... um...
I'll check around to find anything
regarding Leo's abandoned projects,
and you check the case files
to see if we missed anything.
[thundering]
- Buchanan's interview transcripts...
Looks like there were witnesses that saw him
arguing with Danika the day before she disappeared.
- What?
I didn't know that.
- Neither did I.
According to this...
he said that it was about cutting class, but...
The detective's notes said that they thought he was lying.
There's no follow up, though.
- Of course not.
Once things started pointing to Leo,
the Cops got tunnel vision
and dropped all the rest of the leads,
no matter how solid they were.
There's was a major construction project
that Leo was working on, with a micro-brewery.
He spent the money covering a loan,
and the whole thing collapsed.
- So it was never finished?
- I don't think so.
It's...
secluded, down in industrial park.
The cops never found the actual murder scene,
only where the bodies were dumped.
Maybe the killer used it back then.
Maybe they're using it... now.
I-I want to go check it out.
There's gotta be something there.
I mean, maybe that's where Brooke's being held.
- Do-do you want me to come with you?
- No.
There's too much to follow up on.
You should go to Buchanan's;
there's got to be more there.
[thundering]
[♪]
- Check that again.
- Call Laura.
- Calling Laura.
[cell phone ringing]
- Damn it, Laura, pick up the phone!
- August, what do you want?
You already won, okay?
You cracked the case, Detective.
I did it.
- So that's it?
After all this time, you're just going to confess?
- Listen.
You didn't believe me when I said I was innocent,
and you don't believe me when I'm saying I'm guilty.
I got out of bed for this?
- Brooke's missing.
She disappeared a few days ago.
After telling people she'd found something,
something to do with your case.
- Then why are you in here, talking to me?
You should be out there looking for her.
- You didn't know?
Shenae didn't tell you?
You talked to her today, didn't you?
- She didn't mention it.
But I'm sure wherever Brooke is, she's fine.
- How do you know that?
- Just leave me alone!
Leave my family alone!
- Leo. If uhh...
there's something going on...
you need some help.
- Help?
You tore my life apart.
You tore my family's life apart.
And now you want to help?
There's nothing you can do, Detective,
except make things worse.
Much worse.
- You're about to be executed, Leo.
I don't see how things could be much worse.
- Because I'm not the only one that's running out of time!
- What's that mean?
What's that mean, Leo?
- It means we're done here.
- No... Leo!
- Please, just leave me alone!
Alright? It's over!
It's all over.
You want to help?
- I do.
- Then tell Shenae I forgive her.
- Leo... Leo!
[♪]
[metal door creaking]
[door slamming shut]
- Brooke?
Brooke?!
Brooke!
Brooke?
Oh, Oh! Okay... Oh God...
No...
no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Brooke!
Okay.
Oh...
oh, God...
[cell phone ringing]
- You've reached Alexander Marston.
Leave a message.
[beeping]
- Alexander. He had her here.
He had her here!
I found photos, like the ones coach Buchanan took.
[beeping]
August?
- Shenae.
[Detective August]: I talked to Leo.
What the hell is going on?
- I was wrong.
We were wrong.
[Shenae]: We were all wrong; he didn't do it.
Leo didn't do it.
He did not kill those girls.
Who ever killed those girls has Brooke.
He has her.
I found photos.
I can't find her, August.
I can't find her, God help me, I can't find her.
- Tell me where you are.
[Shenae]: I'm... I'm at a...
I'm at an abandoned brewery,
off the side of the highway near um...
[Shenae]: Innsmouth.
Uh, it's at 138 London Lane.
Leo's...
Leo's old building.
Oh my God, he had her here...
He had photos of her, like coach Buchanan took.
- Okay.
I'm gonna send a unit down to the brewery.
- No! No, no, no!
Don't-don't...
don't send any police, okay?
If he sees cops, if he sees you,
God knows what he'll do.
- Trust me.
- I do trust you.
I-I don't trust any other cops.
I don't trust anybody...
[Shenae]: we've messed up so much.
And she's in danger!
We've messed up so much!
So please, believe me.
Just please, August.
- I do.
- Look, I'll meet you at Buchanan's, alright?
- Alright.
- Hey.
- It's Buchanan.
I think he killed those girls,
and I think he's holding Brooke somewhere.
Brooke was having dreams, or flashbacks...
She was slowly starting to remember the conversation
that she had with Danika.
And, remembering some of the things she was hearing
in the background.
- Music... a motorcycle.
- Which is what brought us to Buchanan.
So we, um...
we paid him a visit.
I know.
We made our way into his basement,
and on his computer we found pictures...
of some of the students.
And...
then, I found...
found this at the abandoned site.
- Oh my god.
- Alexander said he was going to talk with him today,
but now he's not answering his phone.
- Buchanan was our prime suspect
before we moved on to Leo.
The more we dug into him, the more we found.
He was really close with Robin, the first victim.
Never sat right with me.
- Wait a minute, didn't he have an argument
with Danika the day before she went missing?
- Yeah - He said it was about skipping class,
but...
That didn't feel right, either.
- So what are we going to do?
- I'm going to go talk to him.
Start there.
Without probable cause, I can't just arrest him.
But, I'll find a way to get that bastard in cuffs.
- Hey...
Thank you.
- Yeah.
[♪]
- Hold on Laura.
[♪]
[football crowd cheering]
[knocking]
[football crowd cheering]
- Who is it?
- Detective August.
- The hell do you want?
- There's been reports of a prowler
in the neighbourhood, going through backyards.
- Yeah.
I had someone break a window.
- You don't mind if I do a sweep of the premises,
do you?
- This really necessary?
It's not enough that you ruined my life?
You gotta drag me out of bed, too?
- I didn't ruin your life, Buchanan.
- I lost my job after your investigation.
I couldn't get hired at another school;
they wouldn't even hire me to mop the floors.
- Your relationships with those girls
was inappropriate.
- Come on, man!
I was helping them.
They needed someone to talk to them.
To treat them like adults!
- They're not adults, Buchanan.
They're kids.
- What do you want?
- The day before Danika Marston disappeared,
you had an argument with her.
- You know I had nothing to do with those murders!
I thought you were here about a break-in?
- You weren't fighting with her
about skipping school, were you?
She had a better attendance record than
most kids in her class!
- That's 'cus I...
I changed the records.
- Why?
- Because...
she was special.
She was talented.
She could have gotten a full ride; D1.
Some top school like Syracuse or Duke,
if she would have just applied herself.
But there was something going on with her.
- What do you mean?
- Something was wrong, man.
Something she had to keep secret.
She made me promise to cover it up.
Not tell her father.
- Why would you do that?
- She'd taken a few things I had said...
the wrong way.
Things about...
her, and her friend, Robin.
- What'd you say?
- Hey look, Robin was a flirt, okay?
They both were.
- Did you touch them?
- No.
- No?
- I told you, No!
I made some jokes, okay? I played along.
I...
There were things that if you took them out of context.
And then she said that she would go to the school
if I didn't cover up her absences.
They knew what they were doing, man, you know?
Both of them!
There were always flirting.
Always...
seeing how far they could push it.
It was like a game to them!
[cell phone ringing]
[beeping]
- You've reached Alexander Marston.
Leave a message.
- Call Brooke.
- Why didn't you tell me this before?
- Because I knew how it would look.
Plus you had already found the guy that killed them.
Why- why are you still bothering me about this?
- Because people like you have to underst--
[cell phone vibrating]
- What are you doing?
- Shh! Quiet.
[cell phone vibrating]
- What is that?
- I don't know. My phone, I guess?
- Phone's right there...
- Where's your basement?
- I think you should leave.
- Hey!
[cell phone vibrating]
- Yeah?
[Distorted Voice]: I have her.
Your daughter.
- Where is she?
[Distorted Voice]: She's alive. For now.
If you want her to stay that way,
you have to do exactly as I say.
Do you understand?
- Who is this?
- Do. You. Understand?
- Yes! Yes. I understand...
Please don't hurt her.
[Distorted Voice]: Then bring her notebooks.
Then this will all be over.
- Where?
[Distorted Voice]: Where they found the girls...
- Wait.
I need to know that she's alive.
I just want to hear her voice,
can you please just let me hear...
just let me hear her voice, please.
I'll do whatever you want just please...
Let me know that she's alive.
Hello?
[Brooke]: M-m-Mom?
- Brooke!
Baby, are you okay? Are you hurting?
Hello?
[Brooke]: M-m-m-Mom...
I... I...
- Brooke?
[Brooke]: Mom...
I'm-I'm so...
c-cold.
[rumbling]
[Brooke]: Oh!
- Hello?
Brooke!
Brooke?! Hello?!
- This is Detective August, badge number 1366,
Im gonna need back up.
Buchanan!
I'm going to need you to step away from the doorway.
Buchanan!
Freeze!
[Distorted Voice]: Come alone.
No cops.
[cell phone beeping]
- I didn't do anything!
- Shut up. You're being detained...
- I don't know whose phone that is!
- We're gonna talk all about it down at the station.
Be careful
I don't want you to get hurt.
- I'll do whatever you want.
Just please...
Let me know that she's alive.
[Brooke]: M-m-Mom?
- Brooke! Baby, are you okay? Are you hurting?
Hello?
[motorcycle engine revving]
[♪]
[slamming door]
- I don't want to hurt you.
I never did.
I'm not even sure if I can.
You're the last thing I have left...
of my daughter.
[screaming]
[Brooke]: Danika?
[♪]
I don't know, I've just been...
dreaming about her a lot.
About Danika.
The night she died...
The more I dream about it, the more I remember...
The more I think...
The more I dream about it, the more I remember...
The more I think...
[police siren]
[humming]
- I'm sorry it had to be this way.
- Oh!
Brooke...
Oh, God... Oh no no no no
Brooke!
Oh my God!
Oh my God, oh my God!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, please, wake up!
[screaming]
[heavy breathing]
- I'm sorry, she was-- she was getting too close.
I had to find out what she knew and who she told.
I-I didn't want to hurt her!
I-I-I don't...
I don't want to hurt anybody!
I never wanted to hurt anybody!
Especially Danika!
- What happened to Danika?
- I just wanted to talk to her!
[car tires screeching]
- You can help. Please.
You just have to tell Brooke not to tell anyone.
- Just...
tell Brooke...
Why don't you tell me?
Huh?
Tell me.
I'm an attorney.
I can help you.
I can help you explain.
But you gotta help me understand, okay?
- I know I...
I shouldn't have been with Robin.
She was special.
And she made me feel better than I have in years.
You should have seen the way that she...
looked at me.
The way she talked to me...
At the sleepover, after everyone else went to bed...
And then she...
acted like nothing happened.
Like I didn't even exist.
I exist.
And I loved her, do you understand?
And I had to...
break into her house just to talk to her!
Do you even have any idea how that feels?
- I'm sorry that happened to you.
- And then she...
she threatened me with the police
over something we did together.
How's that fair?
So I had to stop her. But...
I was too late.
Robin had already told Danika.
She told her so many...
disgusting things about me.
And she believed her! My own daughter!
But you...
You...
you understand.
You have Brooke.
You know what it's like for your own child to hate you.
- Worst pain in the world.
- See, that's why we get along.
That's why we understand each other.
We both know the pain of losing a daughter...
even before they're gone.
- Did you try talking to Danika?
- Of-of course I did.
I tried.
She never listened. She just...
ran away in the middle of the night.
So I followed her...
[car tires screeching]
I had to...
I had to keep her quiet.
[screaming]
- Dad! Stop, Dad! Stop!
- What did she make me do?
What did she make me do?
What did she...
Make me do!
- Why Leo?
- Leo...
That was easy.
Yeah, I did you a favour.
[Alexander]: Do you remember the-the time
I came to your house, after I...
reported Danika missing?
To look for her?
- She'll bring her back.
[Alexander]: I...
left behind some of Danika and Robin's things...
And I...
took some of Leo's.
After that, I just dropped the bodies off
at one of his construction sites.
And that's all it took.
Until...
Brooke came to me with new evidence.
I... I tried to get her to-to drop it, but she's...
So stubborn!
Just like you!
Both of you, you...
you don't know, when to stop.
You just gotta keep diggin', huh?
- Alex.
We can fix this.
We can fix this!
Just let Brooke go...
- No.
- Please!
- No.
- Don't hurt her, please...
- I can't have you telling everyone what I did.
- I won't!
Please let her go...
Please, please, please, please let her go, don't hurt--
- I said that I wouldn't kill her...
okay?
I won't. I can't.
I mean, I-- she's the last thing I have left of my daughter.
I won't kill her, or Laura..
But...
the cold will.
[screaming]
- Ugh!
- Brooke!
Oh, my baby!
Oh, God, are you okay?
Are you okay, hmm?
You're okay.
Laura...
[breathing]
[police sirens]
- Police! Nobody move!
- What do you think he'll want to play?
- I think he'll be fine with anything.
As long as it doesn't have anything to do with murder...
- God, Mom! That's not funny!
[giggling]
- What?
It's not like he heard me!
[doorbell ringing]
- I'm not too early, am I?
God, I really couldn't wait to see you, baby girl.
- Dad!
[♪]
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hey, Laura. How you feeling?
- Healing...
But I might need your help, there's this case
I'm working on...
- Everything okay?
- I don't know, but you're the only one I can trust and...
it might get a little dangerous.
- I'm listening.
