Hey, Jen.
JEN: Hey. Just checking in.
- You all set for tonight?
- MO: No.
Oh, my God,
it's been so long, Jen.
Last time I dated, I had "Juicy"
written across my butt.
(CHUCKLES) You'll be fine.
I hear he's a nice guy.
You'll let me know how it goes?
Yeah, all the details.
Thanks for setting it up.
I gotta go. Gotta get back
to deal with the kids.
Get out of my uniform.
I'll speak to you later, okay?
JEN: Okay.
- Good luck.
- Bye.
(GET UP AND RUN PLAYING)
KRISSY: I wasn't doing anything.
ROBBIE: Just stay out!
Hi, what's going on in there?
KRISSY: Mom, look at
the mess he's making.
MO: What the hell?
- He's a maniac.
- It's just my football jersey.
You've used
too much soap, Robbie.
Is this what you guys
were fighting about?
- She was in my room again.
- I was borrowing a sweater.
- She messes with my stuff.
- I do not...
- ROBBIE: I caught her in there last night.
- I get enough of this at work
and I'm already stressed
about tonight. Okay?
I'm actually being helpful here.
Just go get clean, Robbie.
Come on.
If I catch you in my room again,
I'm gonna set your room on fire.
- Grow up!
- MO: Enough! Both of you.
Okay.

What am I thinking?
You look pretty.
Who's this guy?
Just someone that Aunt Jennifer
works with at Butlers.
So it's a blind date.
Have you checked his socials?
I couldn't find much.
What's his name?
Dave Gorski.
I don't know.
Aunt Jen thinks I should
put myself out there.
Got him.
Hmm, he likes football.
And fishing.
He's boring.
You know I'm not trying
to replace anyone.
Right?
I know.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES)
Who are you flirting with?
- Nobody.
- Oh, really.
Who is this nobody.
Someone from school?
It's a friend.
It's nothing.
You know you need to be careful.
First they ask for photos
and then you send them,
- and then the next thing you know...
- (LAUGHS)
Why are you laughing at me?
It's all okay, Mom.
I'm just trying to make sure
that you're, you know...
You're the one meeting a
stranger at a restaurant tonight.
Not me.
Do you know how to stay safe?
You know, I am so rusty,
I hadn't even
thought about that.
Stop worrying.
ROBBIE: Do you know
what time it is?
Oh, I'm gonna be late.
You look good.
Do you need a ride?
No, I'm going to drive myself
just in case
I need to make a quick getaway.
Are you kids
going to be all right?
I can call it off if you're...
Mom, it's all right. I'll take
care of pig face over here.
I don't need a babysitter.
- I'm 15, not five. Loser.
- (ROBBIE CHUCKLES)
Okay, be nice to each other
or I'm going nowhere.
Okay?
Right, bye.

MO: Hey.
KRISSY: How'd it go?
Well, I wasn't expecting much.
What was he like?
A little crude for me.
Hmm, that doesn't sound good.
And there was
no chemistry at all.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Well, at least you tried.
- Hmm.
- Forget him.
Where's your brother?
On his console. Where else?
Hmm.
A lot of people are addicted to
staring at screens, aren't they?
I got invited to a party.
That's nice. Anyone I know?
It'd mean being out a little
after my curfew. Is that okay?
We'll talk about it later.
I'm too tired to think.
Come on. School tomorrow.
(SIGHS)
Come on.
Come on. Come on, Krissy.
You know how it is.
What could happen?
I'm not fighting about it.
I said no, and that's it.
It's in someone's house.
I don't know these people.
- I do.
- I don't know where they live.
KRISSY: It's barely
a half hour away.
And you're too young
to be out that late.
Everyone is going to be there.
Oh, is that right?
Bella is gonna be there, is she?
Abi? Did their parents say yes?
This is a different
friend group.
- These guys are different.
- How?
They're a little bit older,
more responsible.
Great. So when you're older and more
responsible, you can do what you want.
I'm not a baby, Mom.
And I'm not going to do
anything stupid...
I've given you
my answer, Krissy.
Daddy would let me.
Oh, no.
No. Don't you dare
play that game with me.
Don't use your father's
name like that.
I'm sorry.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(STUDENTS CHATTERING) - LUNA: I
have to present my report this afternoon.
I hate talking
in front of class.
Just read out what you wrote.
I don't know if it's any good.
You're smart, Lune.
It'll be easy.
- For you maybe.
- We can practice before you do it.
Would that help?
That would be great. Thanks.
- (CELL PHONE DINGS)
- (CHUCKLES)
Who's that in the picture?
KRISSY: (CHUCKLES)
His name's Toby.
We've been talking
for a little while.
How old is he?
Seventeen.
- (GASPS SOFTLY)
- But we have a lot in common.
So are you two...
(LAUGHS) One of his friends
is having a party tonight.
You could join us if you want.
Oh, my dad would
never let me go to a senior's.
Is your mom okay with it?
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
I'm working on her.
- (GIGGLES)
- (SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
- (BOTH GIGGLING)
- I can't believe you said that!
MO: So you're refusing
to eat now?
- Is that where we are?
- I'm just not hungry.
Don't say you've got
some kind of eating problem.
I'm not!
Because I see kids
at the hospital your age...
I just don't want your creamy
mashed potato slop right now, Mom.
Whoa! That's not nice.
You can say what
you want about me,
but do not insult
my mashed potato.
- Don't make fun of me.
- Hey, come on.
Why are you being so mean?
It's only a little party.
I don't wanna hear
any more on this subject.
- Please.
- I never ask you for anything. Nothing.
It's just one night,
one little party.
I'm not gonna change
my mind, Krissy.
You're such a big jerk,
you know that?
Hey! Don't talk
to her like that.
I hate this place!
I really do!
(DOOR SLAMS)
ROBBIE: You know why
she's like that?
Mmm?
Because you're not nearly as strict
on her as you were with me at that age.
Your dad used to deal with it.
- And she really misses him.
- Yeah, we all do.
MO: I know.
It's hard, but we're
doing okay, aren't we?
(MUSIC PLAYING QUIETLY
ON STEREO)
I don't like it
when we fight, Kris.
And I know
you don't like it either.
Well, I figured
you might be hungry.
- Mom.
- It's grilled cheese.
No mashed potato in sight.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Well, I'll leave it here.
Look, I... I know you
want your independence.
You know, I was the same.
But in a couple of years,
it'll all be different.
Yeah, I know. I get it.
Do you?
I was gonna watch a movie later.
Something funny?
You can join me if you want.
Okay.

KRISSY: (ON ANSWERING MACHINE)
You're through to Krissy.
I'm not here right now.
You know what to do.
Kris, I'm in your room.
I don't like this.
I don't wanna play games.
What's going on?
Call me right back.
Okay? Where are you?
- MO: Bella hasn't seen her at all?
- Let us know if you see her.
I'd appreciate that.
- Anything?
- Not yet.
- You?
- No one knows a thing.
Okay. Who else do we call?
I've tried everyone.
This just doesn't feel right.
There's a million places
she could be.
MO: Like where?
She should be here
and she's not here.
- She hasn't called.
- She won't be far.
How do you know?
How do you know that, Jen?
Because she's Krissy.
She's a smart girl.
We'll find her together.
- Take it easy.
- You take it easy.
This is not like her.
- I know. I know.
- (DOOR OPENS)
Did you find out anything?
No. I'm sorry... No one's
seen her since yesterday.
Someone knows something.
Principal Higgins is going
to make an announcement.
That's positive.
You spoke to the other kids?
She'll show up, Mom.
When did you last see her, Mo?
Last night around 8:00.
That's more than 12 hours.
Hello, can I speak with the
Havenbrook Police Department please?

AUDREY: So you had a fight
about the party?
- She's 15.
- And you told her she couldn't go?
And she didn't like it.
But you think it's possible that
she went to the party anyway?
I guess it meant a lot to her.
We don't know anything for sure.
We don't know anything for sure. We
don't even know where the party was.
You don't know the address?
Maybe I should have
taken her to it myself.
Then at least I'd know
where she went.
To a late party
on a school night.
You didn't do
anything wrong, Mom.
And you've spoken
to her friends about this?
Everyone I can think of.
But even if she did go to the
party, why hasn't she come home?
Or at least called?
Robbie, is there
anything your sister
wasn't telling your mother?
Not that I know of.
And what kind of kid is she?
She's never been a problem.
She acts tough sometimes.
MO: She's a little girl.
I'm a single mom.
Sometimes things are difficult.
But we're all right.
Okay, I'm going to need
a recent photograph of Krissy.
There's now some protocols
we have to follow. Okay?
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Thank you.
Is this all of her tech?
Yeah, that's it.
We need your permission
to take it.
What'll you do with it?
Find out who
she's talking to online
and figure out
where this party took place.
Does she have her
cell phone with her?
MO: It's going to voicemail.
AUDREY: And we're gonna
need the number
and the name
of the service provider.
When a kid goes missing,
is this how you normally do it?
Yeah, we'll talk to the network and hope
to locate Krissy through triangulation.
What does that mean?
It's a way of identifying
which cell towers
were closest to her phone
when it was last used.
We'll hope that leads us
to your daughter.
That's smart.
Is there anything else missing?
A suitcase or a bag maybe?
No. Everything is...
You know, except...
Do you have kids?
Yeah, I got two.
Then you know.

Hey, Fred. This is Fred Weaver.
Krissy and Luna's English teacher.
- Hi.
- MO AND AUDREY: Hi.
I'm sorry to hear
about the situation.
If I can help in any way,
please let me know.
What can you tell us, Fred?
Well, there's been nothing
unusual in Krissy's behavior.
Do you know my daughter well?
We talk.
I'd like to think she'd
feel free to confide in me.
Really?
Uh, has she said
anything unusual recently?
I don't think so. Nothing she said
to me explains her disappearance.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Come and take a seat, Luna.
This is Lieutenant Brennan,
and Krissy's Mother, Mrs. Meyer.
- Hi.
- LUNA: Hi.
Would you tell them
what you told me?
Krissy talked to me
about a party.
What did she say?
She was going with a boy
she's been talking to.
Did she mention his name?
Uh, Toby, I think.
I don't know his last name,
but I saw his photo.
I've never heard of this guy.
What does he look like?
Uh, dark hair and he's...
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Is he cute?
Uh, he's a senior.
Krissy asked if I wanted
to go to the party, too.
AUDREY: And what did
you say, Luna?
That my dad wouldn't let me.
I could never go.
So, this party,
was it at Toby's house?
At his friend's, I think.
Do you know where that was?

Anything yet?
OFFICER: Lieutenant!
- Hi.
- Hi.
So, this is the area where
Krissy's phone was last used.
- She came here?
- We think so.
Her cell was last active
at around 9:00 p.m.
Why? Why here?
A lot of kids use the old
hunting cabin as a meeting place.
And you're sure
she came here last night?
We found something.
Do you recognize it?
(SIGHS)
That's Krissy's.
I didn't notice
that it was missing.
What are they looking for?
Any kind of evidence.
And have they found
anything else?
Nothing yet.
(SIGHS) We want people to know that
Krissy is missing and what's happening.
We need all the help we can get.
We need your help, too.
Can you be strong for Krissy?
Yeah.
AUDREY: The party
was last night.
She hasn't been seen
for 24 hours
and we're treating this as
a priority missing child case.
Krissy Meyer is a 15-year-old
local high school student,
and we're putting all our
resources into locating her.
This is Krissy's mom, Mo Meyer.
Would you say a few words?
I'm very worried
about my daughter.
Krissy's a good kid.
And this is very
unusual for her.
She's never been away from home
and me before...
and I'm...
Um...
- I, I...
- Take your time, Mom.
(EXHALES)
I hope she's safe somewhere.
We need Krissy
back home quickly.
Do you suspect foul play?
Do you have
any leads, Lieutenant?
We're keeping an open mind.
We urge anyone who may have
seen Krissy or has any information,
no matter how insignificant
it may seem,
to contact police immediately,
by phone, text, or email.
Contact details are
on your screen,
and on the Havenbrook
PD website.
All tips will be treated
in the strictest confidence.
- Any questions...
- (TURNS OFF TV)
They don't know anything.

nobody's gonna hear you.
We're miles away from anywhere.
- (FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)

JEN: You should eat something.
I'm good.
You're running on empty.
Are you gonna stay up all night?
If the police hear something
significant, they'll let you know.
And until then?
What am I supposed to do?
It's nearly midnight.
Robbie is still driving
around out there.
Yeah, he's the same as me.
We're not... (EXHALES)
We're...
Oh, my God.
What is it?
Listen.
In 89% of cases,
a missing child is killed
within the first 24 hours.
Turn that off.
It's not helping you.
- Where are you going?
- Did you hear what I just said?
- Yeah, but...
- We don't have time to waste.
She was last seen in the forest.
The police have
searched the forest.
And what if they
missed something?
You're going there now?
In the dark.
I'll take a flashlight.
Come on.
This is crazy.
Take a minute to think about it.
- Where the hell is it?
- Mo!
Why is nothing where
it's supposed to be?
You're not gonna find
anything out there tonight.
You need to get
yourself together.
I need to know
where she is, Jen.

PHONE OPERATOR:
Thank you for calling the FBI.
Can I get your name, please?
This is Lieutenant Brennan
with Havenbrook PD.
How may I help you, ma'am?
I need to speak with someone
in the Violent Crimes Unit.
MO: You said it was urgent.
There's been a development
overnight. This way, please.
This is Agent Fry from Seattle.
- Good morning, Mrs. Meyer.
- Hi.
Agent Fry will now be
leading the investigation.
What's happened?
I'll come to that.
I work with the Violent
Criminal Apprehension Program,
a department within the FBI that
deals with missing children.
What's going on?
We need you to look
at some images from a video.
What video?
Come with me.
Please. I'll explain.
(SIGHS)
This is an edited fragment of a longer
film that went out live online last night.
We need to know if you can
identify the girl in the video.
Is it Krissy?
This won't be easy. But we're
keeping it as brief as possible. Okay?
Okay.
(KEYBOARD CLACKS)
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
(GASPS)
How did you get that video?
It was a tip-off
from a member of the public
in response to your
press conference.
Why can I only see
a piece of it?
What's happening to Krissy?
The video shows her
being physically abused.
We're extremely
concerned for her.
The abuser, who we presume
posted the video,
streamed the abuse live for a
paying audience on the dark web.
And he claims it's a trailer
for an ongoing live series.
Who is he? Where is he?
Is it Toby?
We're working to identify
and locate him.
The kidnapper is charging
viewers in cryptocurrency,
so we're trying to trace
a transaction.
He's charging people
to watch my daughter get hurt?
He is.
Krissy's just a kid.
How did she get mixed up
in all of this?
Krissy's been abducted
by someone highly organized.
Look, a day has now passed,
and the video means we can get all the
warrants we need for deeper searching.
We're doing everything
we can, Mo.
FRY: The case is a number one
priority nationally.
So her story's gonna be
all over the media.
We will find her, Mrs. Meyer.

We're still waiting on our
tech teams for a breakthrough.
It takes a little time.
My questions now are about
the real world investigation.
Whatever I can do to help.
Is there anyone in your family
or extended family
who might know
something about Krissy
and who you think
we should be talking to?
I can't think of anyone.
Family friends or acquaintances?
Nobody that would have anything
to do with something like this.
Keep an open mind.
May I ask about Krissy's father?
Adam?
My husband is deceased.
He was, uh, an Army veteran.
He died of a heart attack
three years ago.
FRY: How about Adam's friends?
I haven't seen any of them
in a long time.
Has Krissy had stepfathers
or other older males in her life?
No boyfriends, Mo?
I've had two dates since Adam
and neither of them went anywhere.
Why are you asking me
about this?
We want leads wherever
we can find them.
I've read that it's often
someone known to the family,
but is it possible
that it's a stranger?
Agent Fry...
Why did they take Krissy?
Of all people, why her?
I don't know.
(INHALES AND EXHALES)
FRY: I'm going to ask you
to do the impossible.
Take care of yourself.
Eat, sleep.
Be strong for Krissy.
No, I need to be practical.
I need to help.
Okay.
Sit with your son,
get a sheet of paper.
Between you,
make a list of every man
that Krissy's come in contact
with over the last six months.
Everyone?
No matter how insignificant.
We'll speak with all of them.
Everyone's a suspect?
ROBBIE: So, are we supposed
to put the mailman down?
The guy who serves us coffee?
He said everyone.
What about your blind date
the other night?
Well, he didn't meet Krissy.
But did you talk
to him about her?
Yeah. Okay, who else?
Closer to home?
Uncle Connor.
Aunt Jen's husband
is not a suspect, Robbie.
What?
We're supposed to accuse
people that we love,
who love us.
People who have known Krissy
since she was a baby.
It's just a list.
(EXHALES)
Okay.
What about your friends?
They're kids.
They're young men.
And Krissy is
friendly with them.

Where's my daughter?

- The book!
I saw the book you gave her.

- Check it.
And that he gives books
to all his advanced students.
The book was inappropriate
for a child.
- And way too familiar.
- I know. I know.
But you can't take the law
into your own hands.
I called you.
Let us do the police work.
I mean, this is delicate.
You could make things worse.
How much worse can it get?

But you've gotta trust us.

JEN: What are you reading?
MO: When you put
Krissy's name in here,
you can see

- And?
- It's good and bad.

is abusing his own sister.
Some people think that I am.
That website is toxic.
Stop looking at it.
But what if I miss something?
A big fat clue in plain sight.
You won't find it on there.
Who knows?
Everybody's got a theory.
And at least people
are thinking about her.

Have you charged Fred Weaver?
We have better news.
- What is it?
- We've had a breakthrough with the social media companies.
Krissy uses a site where the
messages are deleted after they're read.
But the company keeps them
for 30 days.
So, we have the recent ones.
And what have you found?
Take a look here.
Krissy's been communicating
with Toby for some time.
They arranged to meet in the forest
on the night Krissy went missing.
He was picking her up
to take her to the party.
(EXHALES)
Do you recognize him?
No, I don't.
But he's got to be
a big suspect, right?
Well, right now he's number one.
So this Toby,
you think he's
taken her prisoner?
We don't know that, but we
need to speak with him fast.
(SNIFFLES)
It's my daughter.
A little older than you.
Not much.
She's very pretty.
Her name's Molly.
KRISSY: It's a nice name.
After her grandmother.
I miss her...
since my ex took her away.
I don't think
Molly likes me much.
She probably does.
MAN: No.
I don't think so.
I'm sorry.
MAN: Her mom treats me bad.
She disrespects me.
KRISSY: That's very hard.
MAN: She was here last week.
(SNIFFLES) Molly was here?
She has a room up there.
If she comes here,
then I'm sure she loves you.
All girls are crazy
about their dads.
You and your dad?
(SOBS SOFTLY)
She loves you.
You wouldn't say that if you saw
the way she looks at me.
I can see that
you're not a bad man.
I'm starting to
like you too much.

OFFICER: (OVER RADIO)
The SWAT team is at the location
and preparing to go in.
I'll relay that message.
An armed unit is closing in
right now on Toby's house.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Is it where Krissy's being held?
Hang on.
Our unit has accessed the house.
Is Krissy there?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
She's not there.
The only people in the house
are the owners.
Toby's mother and father.
I'm sorry, sir.
Could you repeat that, please?
I don't understand.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I feel the same.
Thank you, sir.
Well?
He's dead.
MO: What?
AUDREY: Toby is dead.
Did the police shoot him or...
He died two years ago.

Thank you for coming.
Last night, the abuser
streamed live again.
The video,
it's long in duration,
but there are no
obvious new clues.
- How is she?
- ROBBIE: Can we see the video?
Can we see her?
It's not something
you should have to see.
How bad is it?
Things got a lot
worse last night.
I'm sorry.
So if you can see her
in the video,
why can't you trace her?
We're working hard to do that.
No one's explaining
anything to us.
We still don't even know
what happened with Toby.
Well, it's taken us a while
to unravel that,
but we have
a clearer picture now.
Toby died of a grade four tumor.
ROBBIE: But how does this
connect to Krissy?
A few months after his death,
Toby's social media profiles
became available for sale
on the dark web.
MO: Somebody bought them?
His whole identity was purchased
illegally for $8.
Eight bucks for a kid's life?
MO: Who bought it?
FRY: We believe it's the guy
that kidnapped Krissy
and that her abduction's
been planned for some time.
You got a lead on him?
The transaction was anonymous
and encrypted.
Hang on a second.
This doesn't make any sense.
What you're talking about
is cat fishing, isn't it?
A version of it, and grooming.
Well... (CHUCKLES)
That's just what I'm saying.
Krissy is not naive.
She knows all about cat fishing
and how to stay safe.
A guy pretending
to be somebody else...
Krissy would not fall for that.
It's not quite so simple.
The abuser built
an entire world around Toby.
This is Blair Diaz,
a friend of Toby's.
He's the guy hosting the party
that Krissy thought she was going to.
He also messaged
her independently.
Well, have you tracked
this guy down?
He doesn't exist.
It's a sock puppet.
A social media account created solely to
make Toby's account look more credible.
I've heard about these.
And he's not the only one.
The abuser created and controlled
more than 20 social media accounts,
all designed to make
Krissy feel safe.
All fake.
She didn't stand a chance.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GRUNTS)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
MO: What is a Tor onion?
It makes his location
appear to change often.
In effect,
he's untraceable via his IP.
The money must be
coming from somewhere.
We traced the Bitcoin block chain as
far as South Korea and hit a dead end.
The encryption is impenetrable,
but we're still trying.
And what about Krissy's teacher?
Mr. Weaver?
He's being released.
There wasn't any evidence.
No case.
Oh, he's guilty of something.
We checked him out.
He has alibis,
we know where he was
when the second video aired.
It can't be him.
But the book he gave Krissy.
I mean, hugs and kisses.
That is...
You know, that's not right.
The school's
reviewing his actions.
He's currently suspended.
But he claims the book
has literary and academic merit.
But we'll see.
I'm sorry. This investigation
is going nowhere, Agent Fry...
The abuse my daughter is
suffering is, is just getting worse
and worse, and there's
a bunch of perverts
sitting at home somewhere
enjoying it on live TV.
And we're no closer
to finding this guy?
- Please, Mo...
- My mom is completely right.
You're getting nowhere here.
This is my little girl.
This is his little sister.
What would you do
if this was your daughter?
Agent Fry,
what would you be doing?
Would you work harder
if she was white?
You know, I don't think
you're fit to lead this case.
- Just calm down.
- No, just do something!
- Come on.
- Get off me!
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.

What have Tech got for us?
AUDREY: Micro analysis
on the video.
The abuser wears steel toe cap
boots sold in specialist building stores.
Okay. What else?
There's a thick dust on his
work pants. Possibly sawdust.
So he may work in construction?
- I know it's not much.
- FRY: Get a list of builders and work sites.
There must be thousands.
Uh, Agent Fry...
What Mo did, it wasn't...
FRY: It was understandable.
What she said was right.
Let's push every lead now,
no matter how small.
Revisit every strand
of the investigation. Okay?
Find what it is we're missing!
Getting nowhere on the IP trace.
Well then give
the Tech team hell!
They need to step up.
Yes, sir.
(EXHALES)
You said what needed to be said.
I went too far.
He didn't arrest you, so...
The last thing we need
is the FBI
turning against us, Jen.
I'm an idiot.
When did you last sleep, Mom?
JEN: She's not eating either.
It's not good for her health.
My health doesn't matter.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
It's Lieutenant Brennan.
- Hello.
- AUDREY: Mo...
Audrey, I wanna apologize
for my behavior with Agent Fry.
It wasn't too smart,
but no harm done.
Agent Fry understands.
Listen, I'm calling because we
need to stay focused on Krissy.
We need to update the public
so they know what's happening
and we can get their help.
We need to reach as many
people as possible.
Good.
We'd like you to do
another press conference.
If it stirs someone to notice
or remember something...
Can I talk to her?
Audrey, my son would
like a word with you.
AUDREY: Sure.
(EXHALES)
Um, hey. This is Robbie.
I don't think my mother
is up to this.
Oh, that's not true.
It's just taking
so much out of her.
- JEN: He's right, Mo.
- Give me that.
Audrey, I'll do this.
I will do this.
I can deliver this message.
I need to deliver this message.
Okay, Mo,
but only if you're sure.
I'm on my way.
It's best if it comes
from her mother.
She's my little sister, too.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
If you want, you can
call me by my name.
It's Jack.
Jack?
Yeah. Jack Sweeney.
You trust me?
Why not?
Thanks...
Jack.
And I took the mask off
because it doesn't
matter anymore.
This is an abuser with
no care for a child's life.
He's filming and making money out
of his own acts of unspeakable cruelty.
We believe he is a man with
his own place and a secret life,
a person with expertise
with computers.
He may work
in an industrial setting,
possibly as
a construction worker.
This is a man capable
of the darkest brutality.
And he needs to be
stopped right now.
I'm Krissy's mom.
Krissy means so much to me
and our family.
And every second that she's away
from us is killing us.
Krissy is smart and funny,
but she's young.
And she needs compassion.
Please help us to give her
a chance at life.
Things have been getting worse.
And we don't have time to spare.
(VOICE SHAKING)
Krissy needs to be at home
with her family now.
Because the way
things are going...
(SNIFFLES)
The way things are going...
The truth is...
that it's just a matter of time
before my
beautiful little girl...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Understandably,
things are extremely tough
for Mrs. Meyer
and her family right now.
But I must reinforce
what she said.
All information is important.
Questions.
Jack.
Now that we're getting closer,
maybe I could spend
some time upstairs?
JACK: What's that?
KRISSY: I'd still be locked in.
I could cook for you.
Clean.
Why?
You said you liked me.
Don't you like me, Jack?
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Look at me.
(PANTING HEAVILY)
- I said look at me.
- (GASPS)
Now I didn't say I like you.
I said I like you too much.
You know my name.
And you've seen my face.
But all that doesn't matter now.
Because you're never
gonna get a chance
to tell anybody about me.
(YELLS) Do you understand that!
(WHIMPERS)
Mo got to the people.
Over 200 tips
and they're still coming in.
Prioritize suspects
with a criminal record
and anyone being reported
by more than one call, okay?
Yes, sir.
Things are getting worse
and we don't have time to spare.
Krissy needs to be at home
with her family now.
Because the truth is...
The truth is that it's only a matter of
time before my beautiful little girl is...
Is... I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
FRY: Understandably, things are extremely
tough for Mrs. Meyer and her family...
(JACK GRUNTS SOFTLY)
Huh.
How about that?
(KRISSY SOBBING SOFTLY)
That's national news.
Hey, we've gone mainstream.
Why are you doing this?
I make good money.
Hey, do you think your brother
watches our videos?
What's his name?
Robert. No.
Robbie.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Well, that must be
real confusing for him.
You put on such a good show.

That's okay.
It's all going to be

(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
- How's your mother?
- Um, sleeping.
The doctors gave her something.
Has anything happened
in the case, Agent Fry?
Well, we found something
odd in the messages.
We missed it first time around.
Toby writes to Krissy, "I am so
glad my cousin M put us in touch."
Cousin M?
Another one of his
fake profiles?
Possibly, but none of his
personas have the initial M.
Can you think of anyone, Robbie?
Um, no. Sorry, sir.
Agent Fry, why couldn't
we see any of the last video?
(SIGHS)
I couldn't do that to you.
I appreciate what you're doing,
but this is my little sister.
Robbie, the video, it's, uh...
It's awful.
I just want to see
my little sister.
Please.

Listen to me.
- His name's Jack S...

The abuser's making mistakes.
He didn't restrain her properly.
But we can't hear
or see any more?
We don't want to.

Play it again, please.
Slow it down.
(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
KRISSY: (ON RECORDING)
His name's Jack S...
- JACK: Shut up!
- (KRISSY GRUNTS)
KRISSY: Jack S...
JACK: Shut up!
We think she's trying
to say a longer name.
First name Jack.
Last name begins with S.
Does Krissy know
anyone called Jack?
Does the name mean
anything to you?
In this new video,
are things worse for Krissy
than the last one?
ROBBIE: I'm sorry.
I can't just stand here.
Someone has to do something.
What can we do, Robbie?
I can't do nothing, Mom!
- AUDREY: Wait, Robbie...
- Leave him. Leave him, please.
(PANTING)
JACK: It was your own fault.
KRISSY: Jack...
I'm asking you
for just one thing.
Don't hurt my mom like this.
Please don't do this on video.
Finish me off now
if you want to,
but don't do it
so she has to see.
Anyone who pays
gets a front row seat.
Aw.
But our show is not over yet.
Oh, no.
Because I got

Robbie, are you okay?
Did you find anything?
(VIDEO GAME BEEPING)
ROBBIE: Mom!
Mom, come and take
a look at this.
I had no idea she plays
video games in my room.
AUDREY: Have you
found stuff on it?
Krissy mainly talks
with girls her own age.
So is Molly cousin M?
- We think so.
- FRY: Great work, Robbie.
This is the breakthrough
we're looking for.
What can you tell us?
Well, Molly's texts to Krissy
on the game are suspicious.
She asks a lot
of personal questions
mixed in with chatter
about the game.
She asks questions
about her home life,
about you guys, about her
father, about things she likes to do.
It's a kind of auditing.
These are questions we expect
from a catfisher.
So we believe that these
messages are the first contact
the abuser had with Krissy.
So Molly is Toby?
And Toby is Jack S.
So we're back to square one.
- Not this time.
- MO: Why not?
The messages on the console
are not encrypted.
You have to register to play.
So you can find him?
- We have an address.
- Oh, my God.
SWAT's on its way.
I gotta go too.
You guys go home. We'll update
you as soon as we know anything.
MO: Thank you.

This is my daughter Molly.
(SIRENS BLARING)
FRY: But you do have a console
that you play games on?
Yes, sir.
Were you chatting to someone
called Krissy on it?
Possibly.
I chat to lots of people.
What about around
Thanksgiving last year?
I was staying with my dad then.
Did you take
your console with you?
Yeah. It's so boring
I leave it there.
My dad's a weirdo.
Do you think your dad
might have played on it?
He loves computers and stuff.
Does he have a job?
Yes, sir.
In a sawmill.
He works the late shift.
What's your dad's
full name, Molly?
Jack Sweeney.
We're gonna need his address.
Is he in trouble?
The abuser is Jack Sweeney,
Molly's father.
He used his daughter's profile
to message Krissy on the console,
then deleted the messages
so she didn't know.
You're headed to him now, we're
sending a team but you're closest.
Yes, sir. Understood.
What about Mo?
Keep her in the loop.
I'll join you as soon as I can.
(PHONE RINGS)

- (BOTH GIGGLING)
- I can't believe you said that!
MO: So you're refusing
to eat now?
- Is that where we are?
- I'm just not hungry.
Don't say you've got
some kind of eating problem.
I'm not!
Because I see kids
at the hospital your age...
I just don't want your creamy
mashed potato slop right now, Mom.
Whoa! That's not nice.
You can say what
you want about me,
but do not insult
my mashed potato.
- Don't make fun of me.
- Hey, come on.
Why are you being so mean?
It's only a little party.
I don't wanna hear
any more on this subject.
- Please.
- I never ask you for anything. Nothing.
It's just one night,
one little party.
I'm not gonna change
my mind, Krissy.
You're such a big jerk,
you know that?
Hey! Don't talk
to her like that.
I hate this place!
I really do!
(DOOR SLAMS)
ROBBIE: You know why
she's like that?
Mmm?
Because you're not nearly as strict
on her as you were with me at that age.
Your dad used to deal with it.
- And she really misses him.
- Yeah, we all do.
MO: I know.
It's hard, but we're
doing okay, aren't we?
(MUSIC PLAYING QUIETLY

I don't like it
when we fight, Kris.
And I know
you don't like it either.
Well, I figured
you might be hungry.
- Mom.
- It's grilled cheese.
No mashed potato in sight.
- Okay. Thanks.
- Well, I'll leave it here.
Look, I... I know you
want your independence.
You know, I was the same.
But in a couple of years,
it'll all be different.
Yeah, I know. I get it.
Do you?
I was gonna watch a movie later.
Something funny?
You can join me if you want.
Okay.

You're through to Krissy.
I'm not here right now.

Kris, I'm in your room.
I don't like this.
I don't wanna play games.
What's going on?
Call me right back.
Okay? Where are you?

- Let us know if you see her.
I'd appreciate that.
- Anything?
- Not yet.
- You?
- No one knows a thing.
Okay. Who else do we call?
I've tried everyone.
This just doesn't feel right.
There's a million places
she could be.
MO: Like where?
She should be here
and she's not here.
- She hasn't called.
- She won't be far.
How do you know?
How do you know that, Jen?
Because she's Krissy.
She's a smart girl.
We'll find her together.
- Take it easy.
- You take it easy.
This is not like her.
- I know. I know.
- (DOOR OPENS)
Did you find out anything?
No. I'm sorry... No one's
seen her since yesterday.
Someone knows something.
Principal Higgins is going
to make an announcement.
That's positive.
You spoke to the other kids?
She'll show up, Mom.
When did you last see her, Mo?
Last night around 8:00.
That's more than 12 hours.

AUDREY: So you had a fight
about the party?
- She's 15.
- And you told her she couldn't go?
And she didn't like it.
But you think it's possible that
she went to the party anyway?
I guess it meant a lot to her.
We don't know anything for sure.
We don't know anything for sure. We
don't even know where the party was.
You don't know the address?
Maybe I should have
taken her to it myself.
Then at least I'd know
where she went.
To a late party
on a school night.
You didn't do
anything wrong, Mom.
And you've spoken
to her friends about this?
Everyone I can think of.
But even if she did go to the
party, why hasn't she come home?
Or at least called?
Robbie, is there
anything your sister
wasn't telling your mother?
Not that I know of.
And what kind of kid is she?
She's never been a problem.
She acts tough sometimes.
MO: She's a little girl.
I'm a single mom.
Sometimes things are difficult.
But we're all right.
Okay, I'm going to need
a recent photograph of Krissy.
There's now some protocols
we have to follow. Okay?
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Thank you.
Is this all of her tech?
Yeah, that's it.
We need your permission
to take it.
What'll you do with it?
Find out who
she's talking to online
and figure out
where this party took place.
Does she have her
cell phone with her?
MO: It's going to voicemail.
AUDREY: And we're gonna
need the number
and the name
of the service provider.
When a kid goes missing,
is this how you normally do it?
Yeah, we'll talk to the network and hope
to locate Krissy through triangulation.
What does that mean?
It's a way of identifying
which cell towers
were closest to her phone
when it was last used.
We'll hope that leads us
to your daughter.
That's smart.
Is there anything else missing?
A suitcase or a bag maybe?
No. Everything is...
You know, except...
Do you have kids?
Yeah, I got two.
Then you know.

Hey, Fred. This is Fred Weaver.
Krissy and Luna's English teacher.
- Hi.
- MO AND AUDREY: Hi.
I'm sorry to hear
about the situation.
If I can help in any way,
please let me know.
What can you tell us, Fred?
Well, there's been nothing
unusual in Krissy's behavior.
Do you know my daughter well?
We talk.
I'd like to think she'd
feel free to confide in me.
Really?
Uh, has she said
anything unusual recently?
I don't think so. Nothing she said
to me explains her disappearance.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Come and take a seat, Luna.
This is Lieutenant Brennan,
and Krissy's Mother, Mrs. Meyer.
- Hi.
- LUNA: Hi.
Would you tell them
what you told me?
Krissy talked to me
about a party.
What did she say?
She was going with a boy
she's been talking to.
Did she mention his name?
Uh, Toby, I think.
I don't know his last name,
but I saw his photo.
I've never heard of this guy.
What does he look like?
Uh, dark hair and he's...
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Is he cute?
Uh, he's a senior.
Krissy asked if I wanted
to go to the party, too.
AUDREY: And what did
you say, Luna?
That my dad wouldn't let me.
I could never go.
So, this party,
was it at Toby's house?
At his friend's, I think.

- Hi.

So, this is the area where
Krissy's phone was last used.
- She came here?
- We think so.
Her cell was last active
at around 9:00 p.m.
Why? Why here?
A lot of kids use the old
hunting cabin as a meeting place.
And you're sure
she came here last night?
We found something.
Do you recognize it?
(SIGHS)
That's Krissy's.
I didn't notice
that it was missing.
What are they looking for?
Any kind of evidence.
And have they found
anything else?
Nothing yet.
(SIGHS) We want people to know that
Krissy is missing and what's happening.
We need all the help we can get.
We need your help, too.
Can you be strong for Krissy?
Yeah.
AUDREY: The party
was last night.
She hasn't been seen
for 24 hours
and we're treating this as
a priority missing child case.
Krissy Meyer is a 15-year-old
local high school student,
and we're putting all our
resources into locating her.
This is Krissy's mom, Mo Meyer.
Would you say a few words?
I'm very worried
about my daughter.
Krissy's a good kid.
And this is very
unusual for her.
She's never been away from home
and me before...
and I'm...
Um...
- I, I...
- Take your time, Mom.
(EXHALES)
I hope she's safe somewhere.
We need Krissy
back home quickly.
Do you suspect foul play?
Do you have
any leads, Lieutenant?
We're keeping an open mind.
We urge anyone who may have
seen Krissy or has any information,
no matter how insignificant
it may seem,
to contact police immediately,
by phone, text, or email.
Contact details are
on your screen,
and on the Havenbrook
PD website.
All tips will be treated
in the strictest confidence.

I'm good.
You're running on empty.
Are you gonna stay up all night?
If the police hear something
significant, they'll let you know.
And until then?
What am I supposed to do?
It's nearly midnight.
Robbie is still driving
around out there.
Yeah, he's the same as me.
We're not... (EXHALES)
We're...
Oh, my God.
What is it?
Listen.
In 89% of cases,
a missing child is killed
within the first 24 hours.
Turn that off.
It's not helping you.
- Where are you going?
- Did you hear what I just said?
- Yeah, but...
- We don't have time to waste.
She was last seen in the forest.
The police have
searched the forest.
And what if they
missed something?
You're going there now?
In the dark.
I'll take a flashlight.
Come on.
This is crazy.
Take a minute to think about it.
- Where the hell is it?
- Mo!
Why is nothing where
it's supposed to be?
You're not gonna find
anything out there tonight.
You need to get
yourself together.

Thank you for calling the FBI.
Can I get your name, please?
This is Lieutenant Brennan
with Havenbrook PD.
How may I help you, ma'am?
I need to speak with someone
in the Violent Crimes Unit.
MO: You said it was urgent.
There's been a development
overnight. This way, please.
This is Agent Fry from Seattle.
- Good morning, Mrs. Meyer.
- Hi.
Agent Fry will now be
leading the investigation.
What's happened?
I'll come to that.
I work with the Violent
Criminal Apprehension Program,
a department within the FBI that
deals with missing children.
What's going on?
We need you to look
at some images from a video.
What video?
Come with me.
Please. I'll explain.
(SIGHS)
This is an edited fragment of a longer
film that went out live online last night.
We need to know if you can
identify the girl in the video.
Is it Krissy?
This won't be easy. But we're
keeping it as brief as possible. Okay?
Okay.
(KEYBOARD CLACKS)
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
(GASPS)
How did you get that video?
It was a tip-off
from a member of the public
in response to your
press conference.
Why can I only see
a piece of it?
What's happening to Krissy?
The video shows her
being physically abused.
We're extremely
concerned for her.
The abuser, who we presume
posted the video,
streamed the abuse live for a
paying audience on the dark web.
And he claims it's a trailer
for an ongoing live series.
Who is he? Where is he?
Is it Toby?
We're working to identify
and locate him.
The kidnapper is charging
viewers in cryptocurrency,
so we're trying to trace
a transaction.
He's charging people
to watch my daughter get hurt?
He is.
Krissy's just a kid.
How did she get mixed up
in all of this?
Krissy's been abducted
by someone highly organized.
Look, a day has now passed,
and the video means we can get all the
warrants we need for deeper searching.
We're doing everything
we can, Mo.
FRY: The case is a number one
priority nationally.
So her story's gonna be
all over the media.
We will find her, Mrs. Meyer.

We're still waiting on our

It takes a little time.
My questions now are about
the real world investigation.
Whatever I can do to help.
Is there anyone in your family
or extended family
who might know
something about Krissy
and who you think
we should be talking to?
I can't think of anyone.
Family friends or acquaintances?
Nobody that would have anything
to do with something like this.
Keep an open mind.
May I ask about Krissy's father?
Adam?
My husband is deceased.
He was, uh, an Army veteran.
He died of a heart attack
three years ago.
FRY: How about Adam's friends?
I haven't seen any of them
in a long time.
Has Krissy had stepfathers
or other older males in her life?
No boyfriends, Mo?
I've had two dates since Adam
and neither of them went anywhere.
Why are you asking me
about this?
We want leads wherever
we can find them.
I've read that it's often
someone known to the family,
but is it possible
that it's a stranger?
Agent Fry...
Why did they take Krissy?
Of all people, why her?
I don't know.
(INHALES AND EXHALES)
FRY: I'm going to ask you
to do the impossible.
Take care of yourself.
Eat, sleep.
Be strong for Krissy.
No, I need to be practical.
I need to help.
Okay.
Sit with your son,
get a sheet of paper.
Between you,
make a list of every man
that Krissy's come in contact
with over the last six months.
Everyone?
No matter how insignificant.
We'll speak with all of them.
Everyone's a suspect?
ROBBIE: So, are we supposed
to put the mailman down?
The guy who serves us coffee?
He said everyone.
What about your blind date
the other night?
Well, he didn't meet Krissy.
But did you talk
to him about her?
Yeah. Okay, who else?
Closer to home?
Uncle Connor.
Aunt Jen's husband
is not a suspect, Robbie.
What?
We're supposed to accuse
people that we love,
who love us.
People who have known Krissy
since she was a baby.
It's just a list.
(EXHALES)
Okay.
What about your friends?
They're kids.
They're young men.
And Krissy is
friendly with them.

are thinking about her.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Mo?
FRY: How are we doing here?
Have you charged Fred Weaver?
We have better news.
- What is it?
- We've had a breakthrough with the social media companies.
Krissy uses a site where the
messages are deleted after they're read.
But the company keeps them
for 30 days.
So, we have the recent ones.
And what have you found?
Take a look here.
Krissy's been communicating
with Toby for some time.
They arranged to meet in the forest
on the night Krissy went missing.
He was picking her up
to take her to the party.
(EXHALES)
Do you recognize him?
No, I don't.
But he's got to be
a big suspect, right?
Well, right now he's number one.
So this Toby,
you think he's
taken her prisoner?
We don't know that, but we
need to speak with him fast.
(SNIFFLES)
It's my daughter.
A little older than you.
Not much.
She's very pretty.
Her name's Molly.
KRISSY: It's a nice name.
After her grandmother.
I miss her...
since my ex took her away.
I don't think
Molly likes me much.
She probably does.

I don't think so.
I'm sorry.
MAN: Her mom treats me bad.
She disrespects me.
KRISSY: That's very hard.

(SNIFFLES) Molly was here?
She has a room up there.
If she comes here,
then I'm sure she loves you.

about their dads.
You and your dad?

Last night, the abuser
streamed live again.
The video,
it's long in duration,
but there are no
obvious new clues.
- How is she?
- ROBBIE: Can we see the video?
Can we see her?
It's not something
you should have to see.
How bad is it?
Things got a lot
worse last night.
I'm sorry.
So if you can see her
in the video,
why can't you trace her?
We're working hard to do that.
No one's explaining
anything to us.
We still don't even know
what happened with Toby.
Well, it's taken us a while
to unravel that,
but we have
a clearer picture now.
Toby died of a grade four tumor.
ROBBIE: But how does this
connect to Krissy?
A few months after his death,
Toby's social media profiles
became available for sale
on the dark web.
MO: Somebody bought them?
His whole identity was purchased
illegally for $8.
Eight bucks for a kid's life?
MO: Who bought it?
FRY: We believe it's the guy
that kidnapped Krissy
and that her abduction's
been planned for some time.
You got a lead on him?
The transaction was anonymous
and encrypted.
Hang on a second.
This doesn't make any sense.
What you're talking about
is cat fishing, isn't it?
A version of it, and grooming.
Well... (CHUCKLES)
That's just what I'm saying.
Krissy is not naive.
She knows all about cat fishing
and how to stay safe.
A guy pretending
to be somebody else...
Krissy would not fall for that.
It's not quite so simple.
The abuser built
an entire world around Toby.
This is Blair Diaz,
a friend of Toby's.
He's the guy hosting the party
that Krissy thought she was going to.
He also messaged
her independently.
Well, have you tracked
this guy down?
He doesn't exist.
It's a sock puppet.
A social media account created solely to
make Toby's account look more credible.
I've heard about these.
And he's not the only one.
The abuser created and controlled
more than 20 social media accounts,
all designed to make
Krissy feel safe.
All fake.
She didn't stand a chance.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GRUNTS)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
MO: What is a Tor onion?
It makes his location
appear to change often.
In effect,
he's untraceable via his IP.
The money must be
coming from somewhere.
We traced the Bitcoin block chain as
far as South Korea and hit a dead end.
The encryption is impenetrable,
but we're still trying.
And what about Krissy's teacher?
Mr. Weaver?
He's being released.
There wasn't any evidence.
No case.
Oh, he's guilty of something.
We checked him out.
He has alibis,
we know where he was
when the second video aired.
It can't be him.
But the book he gave Krissy.
I mean, hugs and kisses.
That is...
You know, that's not right.
The school's
reviewing his actions.
He's currently suspended.
But he claims the book
has literary and academic merit.
But we'll see.
I'm sorry. This investigation
is going nowhere, Agent Fry...
The abuse my daughter is
suffering is, is just getting worse
and worse, and there's
a bunch of perverts
sitting at home somewhere
enjoying it on live TV.
And we're no closer
to finding this guy?
- Please, Mo...
- My mom is completely right.
You're getting nowhere here.
This is my little girl.
This is his little sister.
What would you do
if this was your daughter?
Agent Fry,
what would you be doing?
Would you work harder
if she was white?
You know, I don't think
you're fit to lead this case.
- Just calm down.
- No, just do something!
- Come on.
- Get off me!
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Why aren't you wearing
your mask anymore?
I haven't seen
the sky in so long.
Is it blue?
Are there clouds today?
There's a few.
I'd like to go outside.

FRY: Come on. We need more.
What have Tech got for us?
AUDREY: Micro analysis
on the video.
The abuser wears steel toe cap
boots sold in specialist building stores.
Okay. What else?
There's a thick dust on his
work pants. Possibly sawdust.
So he may work in construction?
- I know it's not much.
- FRY: Get a list of builders and work sites.
There must be thousands.
Uh, Agent Fry...
What Mo did, it wasn't...
FRY: It was understandable.
What she said was right.
Let's push every lead now,
no matter how small.
Revisit every strand
of the investigation. Okay?
Find what it is we're missing!
Getting nowhere on the IP trace.
Well then give
the Tech team hell!
They need to step up.
Yes, sir.
(EXHALES)
You said what needed to be said.
I went too far.
He didn't arrest you, so...
The last thing we need
is the FBI
turning against us, Jen.
I'm an idiot.
When did you last sleep, Mom?
JEN: She's not eating either.
It's not good for her health.
My health doesn't matter.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
It's Lieutenant Brennan.
- Hello.
- AUDREY: Mo...
Audrey, I wanna apologize
for my behavior with Agent Fry.
It wasn't too smart,
but no harm done.
Agent Fry understands.
Listen, I'm calling because we
need to stay focused on Krissy.
We need to update the public
so they know what's happening
and we can get their help.
We need to reach as many
people as possible.
Good.
We'd like you to do
another press conference.
If it stirs someone to notice
or remember something...
Can I talk to her?
Audrey, my son would
like a word with you.
AUDREY: Sure.
(EXHALES)
Um, hey. This is Robbie.
I don't think my mother
is up to this.
Oh, that's not true.
It's just taking
so much out of her.
- JEN: He's right, Mo.
- Give me that.
Audrey, I'll do this.
I will do this.
I can deliver this message.
I need to deliver this message.
Okay, Mo,
but only if you're sure.
I'm on my way.
It's best if it comes
from her mother.
She's my little sister, too.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
If you want, you can
call me by my name.
It's Jack.
Jack?
Yeah. Jack Sweeney.
You trust me?
Why not?
Thanks...
Jack.
And I took the mask off
because it doesn't
matter anymore.
This is an abuser with
no care for a child's life.
He's filming and making money out
of his own acts of unspeakable cruelty.
We believe he is a man with
his own place and a secret life,
a person with expertise
with computers.
He may work
in an industrial setting,
possibly as
a construction worker.
This is a man capable
of the darkest brutality.
And he needs to be
stopped right now.
I'm Krissy's mom.
Krissy means so much to me
and our family.
And every second that she's away
from us is killing us.
Krissy is smart and funny,
but she's young.
And she needs compassion.
Please help us to give her
a chance at life.
Things have been getting worse.
And we don't have time to spare.
(VOICE SHAKING)
Krissy needs to be at home
with her family now.
Because the way
things are going...
(SNIFFLES)
The way things are going...
The truth is...
that it's just a matter of time
before my
beautiful little girl...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Understandably,
things are extremely tough
for Mrs. Meyer
and her family right now.
But I must reinforce
what she said.
All information is important.
Questions.
Jack.
Now that we're getting closer,
maybe I could spend
some time upstairs?
JACK: What's that?
KRISSY: I'd still be locked in.
I could cook for you.
Clean.
Why?
You said you liked me.
Don't you like me, Jack?
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Look at me.
(PANTING HEAVILY)
- I said look at me.
- (GASPS)
Now I didn't say I like you.
I said I like you too much.
You know my name.
And you've seen my face.
But all that doesn't matter now.
Because you're never
gonna get a chance
to tell anybody about me.
(YELLS) Do you understand that!
(WHIMPERS)
Mo got to the people.
Over 200 tips
and they're still coming in.
Prioritize suspects
with a criminal record
and anyone being reported
by more than one call, okay?
Yes, sir.
Things are getting worse
and we don't have time to spare.
Krissy needs to be at home
with her family now.
Because the truth is...
The truth is that it's only a matter of
time before my beautiful little girl is...
Is... I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
FRY: Understandably, things are extremely
tough for Mrs. Meyer and her family...
(JACK GRUNTS SOFTLY)
Huh.
How about that?
(KRISSY SOBBING SOFTLY)
That's national news.
Hey, we've gone mainstream.
Why are you doing this?
I make good money.
Hey, do you think your brother
watches our videos?
What's his name?
Robert. No.
Robbie.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Well, that must be
real confusing for him.
You put on such a good show.
(CHUCKLES)
What's the matter?
Not feeling talkative?
That's okay.
It's all going to be
over for you soon.
(GASPS)
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
- How's your mother?
- Um, sleeping.
The doctors gave her something.
Has anything happened
in the case, Agent Fry?
Well, we found something
odd in the messages.
We missed it first time around.
Toby writes to Krissy, "I am so
glad my cousin M put us in touch."
Cousin M?
Another one of his
fake profiles?
Possibly, but none of his
personas have the initial M.
Can you think of anyone, Robbie?
Um, no. Sorry, sir.
Agent Fry, why couldn't
we see any of the last video?
(SIGHS)
I couldn't do that to you.
I appreciate what you're doing,
but this is my little sister.
Robbie, the video, it's, uh...
It's awful.
I just want to see
my little sister.
Please.
Give me a moment.

(YELLS) What was that?
(PANTING)
You know what...
You know what?
- KRISSY: (WHIMPERS) Get off me!
- Now...
Now you need to learn a lesson.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Okay.
Okay. Huh?
You wanna play games
with me, huh?
Huh?
(KRISSY PANTING HEAVILY)
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)
(KRISSY WHIMPERS)
Listen to me!
- His name's Jack S...
- Shut up.
(MUFFLED SCREAMS)
(GASPING AND STRAINING)
(WHIMPERING)
Another video
went live last night.
I'm going to play you
a short audio clip.
Right, ready?
(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
(KRISSY WHIMPERS)
KRISSY: (ON RECORDING)
Listen to me.
- His name's Jack S...
- JACK: Shut up!
(KRISSY SCREAMS)
The abuser's making mistakes.
He didn't restrain her properly.
But we can't hear
or see any more?
We don't want to.
FRY: We need your thoughts.
Play it again, please.
Slow it down.
(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
KRISSY: (ON RECORDING)
His name's Jack S...
- JACK: Shut up!
- (KRISSY GRUNTS)
KRISSY: Jack S...
JACK: Shut up!
We think she's trying
to say a longer name.
First name Jack.
Last name begins with S.
Does Krissy know
anyone called Jack?
Does the name mean
anything to you?
In this new video,
are things worse for Krissy
than the last one?
ROBBIE: I'm sorry.
I can't just stand here.
Someone has to do something.
What can we do, Robbie?
I can't do nothing, Mom!
- AUDREY: Wait, Robbie...
- Leave him. Leave him, please.
(PANTING)
JACK: It was your own fault.
KRISSY: Jack...
I'm asking you
for just one thing.
Don't hurt my mom like this.
Please don't do this on video.
Finish me off now
if you want to,
but don't do it
so she has to see.
Anyone who pays
gets a front row seat.
Aw.
But our show is not over yet.
Oh, no.
Because I got
a big ending planned.
(GASPING)
(SOBS)
This ends tomorrow.
(KRISSY PANTING HEAVILY)
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Robbie, are you okay?
Did you find anything?
(VIDEO GAME BEEPING)
ROBBIE: Mom!
Mom, come and take
a look at this.
I had no idea she plays
video games in my room.
AUDREY: Have you
found stuff on it?
Krissy mainly talks
with girls her own age.
So is Molly cousin M?
- We think so.
- FRY: Great work, Robbie.
This is the breakthrough
we're looking for.
What can you tell us?
Well, Molly's texts to Krissy
on the game are suspicious.
She asks a lot
of personal questions
mixed in with chatter
about the game.
She asks questions
about her home life,
about you guys, about her
father, about things she likes to do.
It's a kind of auditing.
These are questions we expect
from a catfisher.
So we believe that these
messages are the first contact
the abuser had with Krissy.
So Molly is Toby?
And Toby is Jack S.
So we're back to square one.
- Not this time.
- MO: Why not?
The messages on the console
are not encrypted.
You have to register to play.
So you can find him?
- We have an address.
- Oh, my God.
SWAT's on its way.
I gotta go too.
You guys go home. We'll update
you as soon as we know anything.
MO: Thank you.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
It's good.
All my friends
will be joining us.
It's going to be
a special night.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
- (THUDS)
- OFFICER: Go, go, go!
Freeze!
Names!
I'm Susan.
This is my daughter Molly.
(SIRENS BLARING)
FRY: But you do have a console
that you play games on?
Yes, sir.
Were you chatting to someone
called Krissy on it?
Possibly.
I chat to lots of people.
What about around
Thanksgiving last year?
I was staying with my dad then.
Did you take
your console with you?
Yeah. It's so boring
I leave it there.
My dad's a weirdo.
Do you think your dad
might have played on it?
He loves computers and stuff.
Does he have a job?
Yes, sir.
In a sawmill.
He works the late shift.
What's your dad's
full name, Molly?
Jack Sweeney.
We're gonna need his address.
Is he in trouble?
The abuser is Jack Sweeney,
Molly's father.
He used his daughter's profile
to message Krissy on the console,
then deleted the messages
so she didn't know.
You're headed to him now, we're
sending a team but you're closest.
Yes, sir. Understood.
What about Mo?
Keep her in the loop.
I'll join you as soon as I can.
(PHONE RINGS)
- Audrey.
- AUDREY: Mo.
-Have you got her?
-AUDREY: Not yet. He wasn't there.
The address was his ex-wife's
house, but we know where he lives.
I'm heading there now.
MO: Please,
please find her for me.
Okay.
What's happened?
It wasn't his house.
But they have his address.
They think Krissy's there.
