[Peppy music]
Hey, do you need some more coffee?
Yes, espresso.
[Coffee pouring]
Thank you.
Coffee?
Thank you.
Thank you.
[Chair screeching]
[Clanking sound]
Please pack one medium
sized cheesecake.
Which flavour?
It's winter mint.
[indistinct sound]
[Plates clanking]
Thank you.

Your cake is here.
It's from your favorite shop.
Winter mint flavor, just like you like.
Come have a look.
[Suspense music]
I would like to go home to my daddy.
This is home now.
No, this is not.
This is a cage.
Your daddy doesn't want you.
He doesn't love you anymore.
He loves me very much.
You're not letting me go.
If your father loved you,
he'd have found you by now.
But he's not trying very hard
to find you.
Do you know
why he's not trying very hard?
Because he's glad that you're gone.
That's not true.
He loves my very much.
You're not letting me go.
It is.
[Ominous music]
And you need to accept this
and appreciate what I'm doing for you.
Otherwise, you'll be gone
from here soon, as well.
Do you want to take this cake
or should I toss it in the trash?
I drove 20 miles just
to get you this cake.
If you do not eat it,
you will be receiving
no more cakes from me.
I'll take that cake and thank you
so much, Mr. William.
[Plate shattering]
You should look away.
[Grunting]

Is this you!
Yes, daddy.
Baby...
[Sobbing]
Where have you been?
I was inside the cage.
Where?
Daddy, I'm hungry. Can I come inside?
Can I get something to eat?
Of course. Yeah.
Are you sure you don't want to change
before you eat?
No, dad. I'd like to eat first.
[Bread in toaster]
[Blender sound]
[Pouring juice]

[Birds chirping]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah, this is Maddy.
Maddy.
Grace came home.
How? Who brought her?
[Crockery sound]
She came by herself.
She rang the doorbell.
I opened it.
There she was.
Okay...
That's really strange.
What is she doing now?
Where is she?
She was hungry.
I made her some sandwiches.
She is eating it.
Okay, Look.
Edward, don't change her clothes,
don't bathe her or anything.
We'll need to get samples.
Also, probably need
to get her to the doctor
as soon as we can.
Get her checked out.
- Make sure she's okay.
- Yeah, sure.
And, Edward,
bring her to the hospital
as soon as you can, okay.
I'll text you the location.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music]
Hi, Grace.
Hi.
My name is Maddy.
- This is Dr. Rita Patel.
- Hi.
She'd like to examine you.
But, I am not sick.
No. You're doing just fine.
But you've been away
from your dad for a little bit.
He just wants to make
sure you've been
eating and sleeping okay.
After that you can change your
clothes and head home.
Okay?
Okay.
Right.
[Velcro scraping]
If you have any more details,
that might be helpful.
How she showed up?
Did someone drop her off?
Shouldn't you be looking for details?
[Sighs]
That's fair.
[Foot steps]
Thank you.
- She seems fine.
- Thank you.
I'll get the other reports
back by tomorrow.
But it's all good.
I would let her rest today.
Try not to bother her with
too many questions.
We'll handle that tomorrow
when you come in.
Okay.
[Ominous music]
[Door opens]
[Ominous music]
[Pouring coffee]
[Phone ringing]
[Foot steps]
- Hi, Grace.
- Hi.
I got this for you.
Thanks.
Do you like chocolates?
Yeah.
What else do you like?
Cakes.
I can have them order you some cakes
if you want.
I don't want to eat cakes any more.
Why is that?
That man, inside the cage,
offered me cake.
[Ominous music]
So you had to eat cake
when you were inside the cage?
- Is that right?
- No.
But you just said that the bad man
offered you cake.
The cake fell.
The cop pushed the man
from behind and it fell.
Wait... There was a cop there?
The cop that took me out of the cage
and brought me home.
How did you know it was a cop?
Because he was dressed like one.
Like this?
Yeah, like this.
Grace, sweety,
I need you to help me understand.
You said there was a bad man
who took you.
He put you in a cage,
but then he offered you cake.
Then a cop showed up,
pushed him down.
Took you out of the cage,
and then brought you home.
Is that right?
Yes, that's right.
Did this cop
take you in his own car?
No, he took me home in a van.
It's a big ugly van.
Okay.
Grace, did the cop bring you home
in the same ugly van
that the bad man took you in?
Yes.
Okay.
[Suspense music]
So the cop came and pushed
the bad man down.
Took you out of the cage,
brought you home in an ugly van
and then left in the same ugly van
after he dropped you off?
Yes, but he didn't leave in the same van.
That van is still parked near my house.
The van is still near your house.
It's there.
We need to go to your house,
and I mean now.
We need to find the van.
[Engine revving]
[Suspense music]
You look scared.
I look scared because I am scared.
We got the van at the house.
The van she was probably
abducted in.
It's your lucky day.
What is there to be scared of?
Doesn't make any sense.
Feels like we're walking
through a mine field
and any minute the ground's
gonna explode.
Explode? Are you serious?
Bear, think about it.
When, in the history of
any criminal abduction,
have you heard about,
or read or seen that
a kid is abducted,
kept by their abductor
in a cage for fifteen days
and then she just
shows up back at home?
Not to mention, apparently some
random cop rescued her
and brought her home
in the same van she was abducted in.
Seems like a fairy tale except
we don't have fairies in our line of work.
Eventually those fairies turn
into monsters
and those monsters show up
and they say hi.
[Suspense music]
That's what I am scared of.
[Suspense music]
[Door opening]
[Door opening]
[Door closing]
Where is the van?
Edward, will you take her inside?
I'll call you if I need you.

[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey, Watts,
can you run a plate for me?
It's GRG-2354
[Keyboard tapping]
Are you ready?
- Should I say it or should I text it?
- You can just say it.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music continues]
[Gun loaded]
[Suspense music]
[Ominous music]
[Intense music]
Clear.
[Suspense music]
Clear.
We got a body.
[Poignant music]
No pulse.
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Detective Maddy again.
We found the place
where Grace was being held.
It's exactly like she described.
We also found a body.
It appears to be that of the kidnapper.
Seems like the cop may have killed him
before he took Grace away from here.
I would keep her away
from the news for next two weeks.
Does he look like
he was a serial offender?
I don't know.
This place has all the signs, so
yeah, I think he may have been.
Grace is very lucky.
I'd like to see the place.
No, not a good idea.
[Suspense music]
[Camera clicking]
[Forensice team gathering evidence]
[Plastic bag rustles]

[Foot steps]
His name was Will Rave.
He inherited his farm from his father,
and he lived there his whole life.
Married twice.
His second wife died from
complication during childbirth.
He buried her on that farm,
even though the locals objected.
Got a priest
Went ahead and laid her to rest any way.
[Picking the mobile]
[Dialling]
[Phone buzzing]
What's up, Maddy?
Hey, Jeff, have you guys found
a grave anywhere on the property?
Grave? What kind of grave?
This place is huge.
We don't see any grave.
It would be your typical grave,
probably with a headstone
and an inscription on it.
Apparently, this guy William Rave,
buried his wife on the property.
According to the papers,
it looks like a priest may
have conducted the service.
I'll send you over the printout.
And Jeff, we need to find this grave.
It could lead us to the remains
of the other missing kids.
Oh no.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music continues]
[Loud music]
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Yeah-yeah, we found the grave.
[Suspense music]
[Cars approaching]
[Door opening]
[Eerie music]
[Camera clicking]
Four bodies, all kids.
Buried in a circular motion
around the grave.
We put some more holes in the ground,
but I think we got it.
[Camera clicking]
[Suspense music]
Ground just exploded.
No more fairies.
We've conducted a thorough search
on Will Rave's farm,
and found the remains
of four children buried near
William Rave's former
wife's grave site Melina Rave.
[Camera flashes]
We also believe that the same
individual was responsible
for the abduction of Grace Brown.
Now, fortunately she was able to escape
the farm and make it home safely.
Although William Rave was found dead,
this investigation remains open
as there are number of questions
that we seek to ask before
we can conclude exactly.
Thank you. And no further questions.
Sir, please...
How'd she make it home?
Were there any witnesses?
- Hi...
- How are ya...?
How are you?
Hey...
[Sighs]
This is from your shop, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Can you give me the security footage
from the sixth of this month?
Can you wait about five minutes?
- Sure. I'll be right here.
- Thank you.
[Door opens]
[Phone ringing]
[Chair creaking]
Hey, Maddy.
You know, I can't thank God enough
after watching all this.
Yeah, you should thank God.
He's been very kind.
He brought Grace back to you.
Listen, we don't know anything
about the cop that Grace
believes freed her
and brought her home.
We don't know his identity
and how he reached the farm.
So we may need
to question Grace again.
No, no, Grace has been subjected
to too much already.
She can't go through any more.
I understand and I agree with you.
I will handle all of the questions
If you like, I'll ask Dr. Patel to sit in.
Edward, it's crucial that we speak
to Grace right away.
[Sighs]
[phone keypad Click]
[Suspense music]
[Footsteps]
Grace, we have some pictures here
of some cops I'd like you to look at.
Is it this man?
No.
[Suspense music]
[Keyboard Clicking]
No.
Him?
No.
[Keyboard Clicking]
No.
Him?
No.
How about him?
No.
[Suspense music]
None of them?
No.
Do you want to look at
the pictures one more time?
No.
Edward, can I see you outside
for a minute?
I would like to take her to the cafe
where William bought her this cake.
No! Grace has been through enough.
She can't answer any more
of your questions.
This isn't what's best for her.
Edward, I understand your concern, but...
you have to look at it
from this perspective.
This random cop...
We don't know anything about him.
He could be an accomplice to
William Rave and killing those kids.
Right now, he is roaming
the streets freely.
He could be picking up other kids.
Grace was incredibly lucky.
But those other four girls were
not so fortunate.
In fact, any point you feel like we're
putting too much pressure on her,
you can take her and leave.
And this will be the last thing?
Absolutely.
What do you want to do at the cafe?
Just have a seat,
maybe order some food.
See if she recognizes anyone
or anything.
[Suspense music]
[Munching]
[Dramatic music]
Thank you.
Grace, have you been here before?
No.
[Dramatic music]
Okay, then.
Okay, c'mon.
Hi.
[Pouring juice]
[Pouring juice]
That's him.
I am sorry, Hon.
That's the cop who dropped me
home and saved me.
[Suspense music]
[Plates clanking]
You mean Jim?
I am not too sure of his name.
All I know is he took me out
of the cage and brought me home.
Maddy, is everything okay?
Yeah, Mason.
Grace was just saying
she saw someone that look like Jim.
Thank you.
Come on, sweety, let's go.
[Suspense music]
[Dramatic music]
[Keys jangling]
Hey, sweety.
- Get in the car and finish up your drink.
- Okay.
He's over there.
Yes, Edward.
What's this all about?
What do you mean?
I mean Grace recognized
that cop on the wall.
Are you not going to follow up on that?
Let's just leave things
like they are, okay.
Questioning Grace isn't really
getting us anywhere.
It's just complicating things.
She identified the cop.
Edward,
the cop hanging on that wall
in there is our colleague Jim.
He died a year ago
in this cafe. How do you think
we should feel about that?
Alright, Grace must have seen someone
who looked like Jim.
Of course. I mean that's the
only thing that makes sense.
Alright, I am sorry.
[Suspense music]
[Brushing teeth]
[Night insect]
[Suspense music]
[Picks the phone]

Grace?
Can I sleep with you?
Of course, Hon.
What happened?
That cop is in my room.
Smiling at me.
What cop?
The cop whose picture was
in the cafe, on the wall.
I think his name is Jim.
Jim?
[Suspense music]
Sweet dreams.
Okay.
[Eerie music]
[Phone buzzing]
[Door opens]

[Knocking on glass]
[Rolling window down]
Hey.
Hey detective, how are you doing?
Good...
I just...
I got sleepy. So I pulled over.
Okay. All right.
Do you need me to give you
a ride home or anything?
No, I'm okay.
Okay.
Alright. Take care.

We're gonna be late. We're running behind.
[Plates clanking]
Good.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Suspense music]
[Keys jangling]
[Chair creaks]
You wanted to talk to me?
Earlier when we were...
When we were looking at
the security camera footage...
It was from a bad angle.
We couldn't see the driver's face.
So
Last night I went and checked
from a different angle,
and I saw this.
[Keyboard Click]
[Suspense music]
What do you think?
Grace hasn't been able to sleep
in her room since she got back.
I thought it was
because of what happened.
Last night,
she came to sleep in my bed and...
She says Jim has been in her room.
Jesus!
So I went to the room and checked.
And you saw Jim?
I felt a presence.
And I saw something,
like a shadow.
[Chair creaks]
[Foot steps]
Nia, can I give you a ride home?
No, thank you.
Mom will come pick me up.
- Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
- You too.
[Sighs]
[Car engine]
[Suspense music]
[Car horn]
[Phone ringing]
Hey, honey.
Mom, I'm waiting for you.
When will you come pick me up?
I know Sweety.
I'm stuck in traffic still.
I'm sorry.
Listen...
You think you can walk home today?
No, problem.
[Disconnects phone]
[Suspense music]
[Car engine starts]
[Gentle music]
[Car approaching]
[Phone ringing]
[TV program me]
Hello.
Hey, it's Rob down at the station.
Yeah, I got Safia Thompson here.
And she says her daughter is missing.
Yeah, she'd like to talk to a detective.
Have you called Maddy?
Oh I gave her a call already.
She is already headed in.
She just wanted me
to give you a heads up.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Okay.
[Places phone receiver]
[Footsteps]
[Suspense music]
Thank you.
[Night Insect]
Where is she?
Room five.
[Turning pages]
So, her daughter is a teenager
that's only been gone for a few hours.
Why is she jumping to conclusions
that she's gone missing?
Honestly, detective,
with all buzz and media frenzy going
on about girls missing these days,
abduction is going
to be a prime concern.
True.
[Turning pages]
She mentions her daughter's
phone in the statement.
Can you check it for me?
Will do.
[Foot steps]
- Safia Thompson?
- Yes.
I am detective Maddy Wells.
I am in-charge
of the missing person's cases.
I see here in your statement
that your daughter Nia
has only been gone a couple of hours.
Why do you want
to report her as missing?
I know my daughter very well.
She never comes home late.
She doesn't stay anywhere else, ever!
Is it possible that she is mad
at you because
you didn't come pick her up on time?
I just spoke to her earlier.
It was before she left school
to come home.
She sounded fine to me.
I just think something happened
to her.
[Chair creaks]
Ms. Thompson,
is Nia allowed to take her phone
to school?
No. She is not allowed, but...
I gave her one just in case
for emergencies.
She is not allowed to call or text
anyone off that phone
while she is in school.
She keeps it inside her bag.
When is the last time
you spoke with her?
I can check.
[Sighs]
[Checks phone]
2:32
That was the exact time.
It says here that her
phone was turned off at
2:42 pm.
[Paper rumbling]
If no one knew she had
a phone in her bag,
it's most likely she turned
it off herself.
[Sighs]
Or her kidnapper knew that
she had a phone
and switched it off to hide her location.
All due respect, Ms. Thompson,
I don't think your daughter
was kidnapped.
Well, it's not what you think,
detective.
It's what I know.
I heard about those young
girls missing cases lately.
The one that you'll
have been investigating.
It is true that we had some
cases of missing girls
but that kidnapper is no longer
on the streets.
Besides, Nia doesn't really
fit the profile.
He mostly targeted girls
that were white.
If I were to take a guess,
I would say Nia is probably just
upset about something,
and she'll be home later tonight.
You should go there and wait for her.
In the meantime,
one thing we can do is...
If you want to give us
a list of her friends
and their numbers,
we can give them a call.
Whatever you say.
[Sobbing]
[Crying]
[Suspense music]
[Door shuts]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah, Parker.
This is a blind spot.
No cameras, no homes here, nothing.
It's completely secluded.
Nobody could have seen this.
How soon can you get back here?
Like 15 minutes.
[Sad music]
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey, Safia, this is detective Maddy.
We'd like to speak to you again.
Is there a time today that you
could come back by the station?
I am ready now. I can come now.
Great.
[Sound of paper]
We saw this black van on security
cameras about 19 miles away
from the spot where Nia went missing.
So you think that this is
the van that took her.
Yeah. Either that, or it's possible
that Nia knew the driver
and got in willingly.
Can you tell us where her father is?
Her father died three years ago
from cancer.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What was his name?
Lomar.
Lomar Thompson.
But why would you think that Nia
would know the driver of this van?
We went to the spot where
Nia's phone was switched off.
That van was seen 20 miles
away at 2:21
Twenty minutes later at 2:41
Nia switched her phone off.
Can you just get to the point?
What are you try to say?
I think Nia may have switched her
phone off as that van approached.
Either that, or...
[Sighs]
Or what?
The person inside the van
may have known
that Nia carried a phone
inside her bag.
You don't believe that
she was kidnapped, do you?
My daughter
is out there alone.
And you trying to sit here and avoid the
fact that she's been taken by somebody.
This don't make no damn sense.
You keep trying to say that
she needs to know the person.
Why does it matter
if she knew the person or not?
Why wouldn't you just listen to me?
[Cries]
I know in my heart what
happened to my daughter.
[Suspense music]
[Car approaching]
[plastic bag rustles]
I keep having these nightmares
over and over again.
That she's alone in some dark place.
[Unlocks door]
And that she's tied up with tape
over her mouth.
[Door opens]
She's trying to call,
she is trying to cry out to me.
But she can't.
She can't. I can't get to her.
I need to use the restroom.
Please,
[Sighs]
You need to find her.
Okay.
We will continue the investigation
with the possibility that
she has been abducted.
Thank you.
[plastic bag rustles]
[Suspense music]
If you promise to behave,
I can make sure you stay comfortable.
Sure, please don't hurt me.
You'll be home and safe
with your family again soon.
Don't try anything smart.
Don't get any big ideas.
Or I'll have to tie you back up
and tape your mouth.
Okay.
[Keys jangling]
[Car unlocks]
[Sighs]
[Dragging trolley]
[Door bell rings]
[Door opens]
- Mummy...
- Hi, baby.
Dad, look who's here.
It's mummy.
Where had you been?
[Door shuts]
I have so many things to tell you.
Yeah?
I got all A's on my report card.
Did you!
So proud...
- Hi.
- Hi...
I would have called but...
I lost my phone on the way, so...
I just came through here.
It's fine.
[Chuckles]
You probably need to freshen up.
Why don't you use my room?
Let's go.
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey, Edward, it's Maddy.
Is now good time to talk?
Yeah, sure.
It seems like we may have
another missing kid.
I'd really like to talk to Grace again
about her conversation with Jim.
I don't think that's
a good idea right now.
Her mother just got back.
Whose mother?
Grace...
Grace's mother.
She just came back.
Okay. Just give me a call when you
get a chance to talk to Grace, okay.
Sure.
[Suspense music]
Edward, I...
You don't have to change anything
just because I am back.
I'm really happy that you're here.
Grace especially needs you
after everything she's been through.
What has Grace been through?
We can talk about it this evening.
I am late for work.
I got to go.
I'm gonna say bye to Grace.
Don't tell your mother about Jim.
[Poignant music]
[Typing]
Okay, so you should start
this medication immediately.
And then we need to plan
for your hospitalization days.
How long can I continue like
this without hospitalization?
About 36 weeks.
But then you need to come
to the hospital.
Well eventually,
weakness will be evident.
But it all depends on how your
body responds to the medication.
Have you told your wife about this?
Not yet.
Look, you need
to tell her immediately.
It's going to be too shocking
if she finds out about this later.
If you can hear me,
wherever you are,
please know,
Nia is a sweet girl.
And she don't deserve this.
I'll pray that you be forgiven
for all of your sins.
Please, please just bring my
baby girl back to me.
This is your chance.
This is your time.
This is your time to make
things right for all of us.
Please, you have the chance
to change this.
[Sighs]
Just bring my baby girl to me, please.
Sir, can you explain since
the alleged abductor is dead,
why are other children
being kidnapped?
Or is it possible that
you have the wrong man
in the first place?
William Rave is a serial offender.
[Sobbing]
He's responsible for the abduction
and murder of six children in this area.
But he's been killed.
But that being said,
we believe that there is another offender.
If I may, who killed William Rave?
We can't answer
that question at this time.
So this is the spot right here?
Yeah, right here.
She was in there waiting
and I asked her if she wanted a ride.
But she said she was going
to wait for her mom.
Was she depressed or scared
or stressed out at all.
No, she seemed perfectly
fine, normal.
That's why I figured it
was okay to leave.
Okay...
Do you mind if I see her school records?
Of course.
Yeah, we can go to the principal's
office and grab those.
[Footsteps]
[Birds chirping]
[Typing]
- Maddy.
- Yeah.
Did Nia Thompson change her name?
[Typing]
What do you mean change her name?
According to her earlier school records,
her name's Nia Davis.
[Paper rumbling]
So, Safia's husband Lomar Thompson
is not Nia's father.
Apparently not.
She married someone before
she married Lomar Thompson.
That's not what she said
in her statement.
She told us Lomar Thompson
is Nia's father.
Why would she lie about that?
[Sighs]
[Suspense music]
[Door bell rings]
[Footsteps]
[Door opens]
- Hello, detectives.
- Hi, Safia.
Can I get you guys anything to drink?
Coffee? Tea?
No, thank you, Safia.
We're just here to ask you a question.
Okay. Come over here.
[Sobbing]
Who is Nia's father?
Lomar.
My late husband.
Her biological father, Safia?
Come on, Safia.
You need to tell us.
Marrying with child was a mistake, okay.
We separated almost immediately
when Nia was born.
Me and Lomar was already married
for five years by the time.
How could you come here to ask for
Nia's biological father?
[Scoffs]
Why does that matter?
It matters, Safia.
Every detail in a criminal
investigation matters.
Answer the question.
Who is Nia's biological father?
It's Tyrell Davis.
[Dramatic music]
[Gun shot]
Why didn't you tell us this earlier?
How was I supposed to tell you
that he was a cop killer?
He killed Jim Wheeler.
If I told you, you wouldn't have
put the same effort here for Nia.
[Chair creaking]
Safia, that's not true.
And now you've hindered
this investigation
by withholding this information
from us.
Had you told us earlier,
we could have been
in a better position to help
both you and Nia.
You can't tell the press about this.
Please.
I will do what I can to keep
this away from the media.
But you've made a serious mistake.
[Chair creaking]
[Sobbing]
[Night insect]
I am so sorry you had
to go through this alone.
You really didn't hear anything?
Not on the television, not online.
No. I was in the middle
of nowhere with a friend.
Look, Edward,
I know I haven't been a good mother.
I want to make up for lost time
with Grace and with you.
If you have something to say,
I am ready to hear it.
I was in a shitty town
with a shitty friend...
[Dramatic music]
We had bought some pills off the street,
and instead of ecstasy,
it was some kind of poison.
Oh no.
Hey, no, no, no...
Oh my, God.
Oh no.
He died right in front of me
from a pill that I put in his mouth.
[Dramatic music]
I was all alone
in the middle of the night
in a hotel room with a dead body.
[Knocking on door]
One second.
[Suspense music]
I had no money to get home.
I thought I was gonna rot in jail.
[Knocking on door]
Then this cop just showed up.
I had no idea how he knew
my name and my address
and literally everything about me.
[Door opens]
I don't know. I don't know, I mean,
I am so scared.
Go home.
[sobbing]
Go home.
He gave me plane tickets
and some cash.
It was like he was an angel
who showed up just to save me.
[Suspense music]
[Paper rustling]
I am glad you are back.
Missed you.
Edward,
I am sorry.
You are fine.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Birds chirping]
[Suspense music]
[Sighs]
Please help me understand.
How could you miss something so basic?
So crucial information about her father!
Because Safia purposely hid it from us.
So she gave a false statement.
The only reason we found out about it
is because Parker was working into
Nia's old school records.
And you should have known
that from the beginning.
- But chief...
- I don't want to hear it.
I've been listening to you
for way too long.
And I am disappointed
in your investigation.
You have no idea
who killed William Rave.
You don't know
how Grace made it home,
and you have no clue
about Nia's disappearance.
After three days of investigation
and several press conferences,
you spring some new information
on me now!
Do you know what this looks like to me?
Huh?
Let me tell you.
It looks like lousy,
incompetent police work.
Chief, don't you see?
Nia and Grace,
they have a common link now.
It's Jim.
Do not come to me
with this ghosty crap
that you have been spewing.
Do you hear how you sound?
Like seriously.
We're supposed to arrest
and indict ghosts now?
Is that what you are telling me?
You have seven days
to finish this investigation
or I am transferring you.
Do you understand me?
- Do you understand me?
- Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
[Footsteps]
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Door creaks]
Excuse me.
- How are you doing?
- Good.
My name is Detective Madison Wells.
Is it okay if I ask you a few questions?
Sure.
[Photo shakes]
Have you ever seen a model
of a van like this?
Sold any parts
for something like that lately?
I can't say for sure.
All right, no problem.
Thank you for your help.
- You're welcome. I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
-Good day
-Thanks, thank you. You too.
Thank you.
Have you done any work on this van in your
garage?
No, not like that.
Sorry about that.
Thank you.
[Chair creaks]
Hey Maddy.
Sorry, we're not open yet.
Be back in 45 minutes.
But if you don't mind waiting,
grab yourself a cup of coffee
until the services are ready.
Actually
I want to talk to you.
Do you have a few minutes?
[Pouring coffee]
Thank you.
[Suspense music]
[Keys jangling]
Can you tell me about that night?
The night Jim was shot.
[Dramatic music]
He was a regular here.
He used to come
in often during his night shifts.
[Door opens]
That night he just needed
to use the restroom.
He knows the restrooms are
at the back of the store
so he parked in the back
and came in through the back door.
I wouldn't even know here
he was in the cafe.
I was standing behind the bar
cleaning the counter. All right?
- And bam the door flies open.
- [Banging sound]
[Dramatic music]
Put your mother fg hands up!
Put them up.
- Relax.
- Shut the fk up.
Take the money out of the register
and put them on the fg counter.
Hurry up.
Don't fg play with me.
- Your eyes on me.
- Okay.
- All right, here.
- Now.
- Cash.
- It's all there. All right.
- C'mon put it all out there.
- That's it.
- You sure that's it?
- That's it.
Put that fG ring with the money.
Put the fg ring above the money now.
Okay.
- Hurry up.
- Hang on. All right.
Put it above the money.
It's all right there.
[Gun shots]
[Man drops on the floor]
No!
He had all the money
and my ring.
Jim was shot
so he wouldn't be able to do anything.
He should've just taken
the money and gone.
I mean I could've gotten help for Jim...
who knows he'd survive the gun shot!
I don't know.
But that guy turned around
it was some kind of drug or something
- he just wouldn't leave.
- Look at you now.
- Fg dirty Harry.
- Instead he walks right up to Jim
with the gun in his hand.
Would you do me a favour
and make my fg day
and reach for your loaded gun.
C'mon, reach forward.
Nah! I guess you give up now, right?
Nah, I don't give up.
I don't give up.
I'll shoot you in your fg face!
Fg face.
No!
No! Damn it!
[Gun shots]
Mason
have you seen Jim since that night?
I'll answer your question.
But the real question is
can you handle the answer?
Try me.
Jim was killed at 2:35 am, right?
Right.
In the night...
Now we know that because of the autopsy.
Anyone one night I'm up late night
cleaning up or something
all by myself of course.
I noticed the time was 2:35
[Startled sound]
And I look right over there
and Jim was sitting in that chair.
I thought it was some kind of an illusion
you know or trick of the eye or something
but there he was.
He was standing right
before as clear as day!
How clear?
As clear as I see you right now.
How are you doing, Jim?
I'm not doing so well.
What's wrong?
I'm surrounded by grief.
Restless and pain.
Olivia never got a chance
to kiss me goodbye.
Her heart still yearns
to see my face one last time.
[Sobs]
Olivia was Jim's childhood sweetheart
who became his wife some time back.
I've never seen two people more in love
than Jim and Olivia.
Can you please remove
that bandage from his face?
I need to see him.
I'm sorry, we can't do that.
The bullet's totally disfigured his face.
You have to bury him with
those bandages on.
[Sobs]
[Sobs]
Jim..
Good bye, my love.
[Kiss]
[Sobs]
She deserved to see my face
before they buried me.
She deserved a farewell kiss.
We deserve to say good bye to each other.
Pain
isn't fading.
[Suspense music]
Do you think Jim could've saved that girl
Grace?
I firmly believe that
Jim is capable of performing miracles.
Yes, ma'am.
This shop you know the losses
I was just
the loans and debts...
Oh my goodness!
Anyway, Jim is here one night
and I was telling him about that. I said,
Jim I think I'll have to sell the place.
He looked right at me and said
don't do that.
He said I'll take care of it.
Have faith in me.
Accept my hand
and you should put up my picture
on the wall right there.
He says if you do those things
all your troubles are gone.
Ah..
I accepted him, I did
what he asked,
I put up his picture right there
and now look at us!
We're flourishing here!
Jim worked wonders.
He saved that girl, Maddy.
Yes, ma'am.
That girl's telling you the truth.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music]
[Phone ringing]
Hey, Maddy. What's up?
Edward, where are you now?
I'm at work.
Can you send me your location?
I'll come to you.
We need to talk.
Sure.
[Suspense music]
[Car comes to a halt]
You seem anxious.
I'm anxious.
I keep hearing
all these stories about Jim.
Mason, the cafe owner
he says he's seen him
and talked to him
that he has powers to do things.
They say Jim has the power
to do anything he wants.
So you believe this too.
-100%
-Have you seen him?
Has he been in Grace's room?
[Suspense music]
I've seen him.
[Door shuts]
Easy man. I'm not going to hurt you.
It was the night Grace came
and slept in my room.
She said she was scared
and Jim was in her room.
Thank you for bringing her home.
No problem.
If you want,
I can give you other things too.
Like what?
Anything you desire.
- I see Grace needs her mother.
- Kelly?
I can't have Kelly back.
Kelly's a mess.
Kelly was wild at heart.
Parties,
booze, drugs, men...
You name it, she tried it.
She wasn't cut out to be a mother.
She left us when
Grace was just 4 years old.
You want Kelly to be a loving mother
- a caring wife.
- Yeah.
I can get Kelly back for you.
[Sighs heavily]
You know what's strange about miracles?
What's that?
When it happens, it seems like
the most normal thing in the world.
I brought Grace back to you
without asking for a thing.
And now I bring Kelly back to you
but I ask something of you.
Anything, Jim.
Anything you need.
Now Kelly's back.
After 6 years she just walked
in 2 days ago,
all her wildness gone.
She's taking care of Grace.
I've never seen her like this before.
What did Jim ask for in return?
Take my hand.
He offered me his hand.
I took it.
I accepted him into my life.
Look at me now.
I want to meet Jim.
This other girl Nia, she's gone missing.
I need his help.
Grace's room, 2:30 in the morning.
You want me to come to your house
at 2:30 in the morning?
If you want to meet Jim,
that's the best time.
Just don't ring the door bell.
Give me a call on the phone,
I'll open the door.
You can go upstairs.
We'll see if Jim wants to meet you.
[Suspense music]
[Door opens]
[Foot steps]
- Good morning, Maddy.
- Hi, father.
Come walk with me.
[Foot steps]
I need to you talk
to you about something serious.
Sure. Go ahead, Maddy.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Are they real?
What kind of question is that?
[Chuckles]
Of course I believe in god
and I believe in ghosts.
Once you accept one
you're bound to accept the other.
If you could be a little more specific
maybe I can help you more.
There's this ghost.
He helped rescue an abducted girl
and now another girl's gone missing.
I need some help. I know the place
where he usually shows up.
I'm supposed to meet him tonight.
I'm a bit scared.
[Chuckles]
Do you think I'm crazy?
You don't sound crazy to me.
I've known you since you were a kid.
I knew your father.
You're a sharp lady, a good detective.
But if you're here for my advice
I would suggest
you don't take help from that ghost.
Ghosts are forbidden to us.
You must not forget
they're ghosts because
they disobeyed the command of god.
They refused god
when god asked them to leave
this place after their death.
[Dramatic music]
[Suspense music]
[Chair creaks]
I'm on the way.
[Door opens]
Come in.
First door on your left.
Wait, you're not coming?
It doesn't work like that.
He's only visible to one person at a time.
Go.
He's almost coming.
[Eerie music]
Hi, Maddy.
[Eerie music]
[Birds chirping]
[Foot steps]
Hi, Maddy.
Hi, Sofia.
I was wondering if I could get
a picture of when Nia was smaller
like 2 or 3 years old.
Sure but why do you need her old pictures?
I'm not at liberty to disclose
that right now
but I do have my reasons.
I'm certain I know where Nia's been kept.
She'll be home soon.
Just show me the pictures.
Okay.
[Door opens]
[Suspense music]
This one.
[Camera clicks]
[Exhales]
Thank you.
[Dramatic music]
[Car door opening]
[Door shuts]
[Gate slides open]
- How are you doing?
- Good.
I'm detective Maddy Wells.
Your security footage
is working out there?
Yes, they are working.
Can I get the footage
from the last 10 days?
We need a drive to save the video.
Can you put it on this?
All right, give me a minute and I'll get
it.
Thanks.
[Dramatic music]
[Hair machine noise]
[Suspense music continue]
Parker,
there's some security camera footage
on this drive
Can you check if
there's a black van passing by?
Sure. Where's this footage from?
I'll text you the location.
Tell me if you find anything.
[Suspense music]
Mr Davis.
I'm Detective Wells
I'm investigating
the case of Nia Thompson.
Are you aware that Nia's gone missing?
Uhh...
I saw it on the news.
[Paper rustling]
Do you remember this picture?
Yeah, I remember this picture.
Were you still with Nia and Safia
when this was taken or had you already
separated?
What does it matter?
It matters. Please answer the question.
I was still with Nia when this picture was
taken.
Thank you.
[Suspense music]
Hello.
Is this Nia?
Yes, this is Nia Thompson.
Who is this?
It got disconnected.
[Suspense music]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah.
Where have you been? I've been trying
to reach you for the last hour.
Yeah, I left my phone in the car.
What's up?
The security footage you provided
shows the van passing
the camera every day at 10 am.
That footage is from the store.
- I'll send you the location.
- Bye.
[Car approaching]
In which direction was the van seen going
in?
Across the south direction.
Okay, follow that path.
I'll try to reach as fast as I can.
Share your live location.
[Suspense music]
The first structure on your left.
It's a closed motel.
I think we should look into it.
People could be held there.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
Seems fine, nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm going to keep looking.
There's a trash bag. Looks like there's a
burner phone in it.
Okay, you can look around.
Just be careful.
Maddy, this place is completely abandoned
except this one door with the latch on.
Go back to your car
and wait for me there.
Call for back up
and wait for me there.
I'll be there in about 20 minutes.
[Suspense music]
[Door opens]
[Guns loading]
[Door opens]
[Applause]
Need to see you guys in the office.
[Foot steps]
Good job.
Made it to the site on time.
Where were you?
My cousin was in the hospital.
I had to go visit him
and come rushing back.
Okay.
[Sighs]
Listen
This is only halfway complete.
I need answers.
Who murdered William Rave.
Who helped Grace escape the farm
and who abducted Nia?
And till we get those answers
this investigation is not complete?
Understand?
But... today is your day.
You should enjoy.
Thanks.
[TV program me]
[Eerie music]
[Engine revving]
So that's it.
You don't remember anything
specific about the man?
No.
So why did he use this phone?
He wanted me to talk
to someone using that phone.
Who did you speak to?
He handed me the phone.
I said hello and the person
on the line asked me who I was.
I replied,
"I'm Nia Thompson".
He Disconnected.
And that's it?
Yes.
[Paper sound]
Okay.
Safia, you can go now.
We need anything else we'll reach out.
[Pouring coffee]
[Shaker sound]
[Suspense music]
My cousin was in the hospital.
I had to go visit him
and come rushing back.
[Paper slides]
[Dramatic music]
Maddy. I left my phone.
Can I have the car keys, please.
Yeah.
[Keys jangling]
Thank you.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Engine revving]
[Suspense music]
May I help you?
Detective Parker.
I am here to inquire about
the footage acquired by my partner.
Yes, sir.
That footage helped you, didn't it?
But did she tell you about
what led her to this place?
Well, I'm in no position to be asking
a detective anything, am I?
It's fine. Thank you.
[Suspense music]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah, Parker.
Maddie,
I've something to talk to you about.
Can you join me for lunch?
Sure.
Okay, I'm headed to Masons.
I'll see you in 10 minutes.
Okay, I am coming.
[Random sound]
[Door opens]
Did you order already?
Yeah. What would you like?
Ice tea.
One ice tea, please.
Got it.
We got those two girls but
their perpetrator's still
out there somewhere.
And I think somebody
from the inside is helping them.
[Plate on the table]
What makes you think someone
from the inside is helping them?
You already knew the address to the motel.
I saw it on your GPS.
You were there the day before.
Who gave you the address, Maddie.
Jim did.
[Suspense music]
Hi, Maddie.
Jim gave me that address.
There's another that's gone missing
and I...
need your help.
I already helped with Grace.
Not expecting anything in return.
If you need my help again,
I'll need to ask a favour from you.
What?
You've to accept me.
Once you do that,
I will not only help you with Nia.
I will fulfil all your desires.
All your wishes.
Anything you ask with me.
I'm ready.
[Eerie music]
Take my hand and repeat after me.
I, Maddison Wells, accept you...
as my only ghost
I, Maddison Wells,
accept you...
as my only ghost.
It's done now.
Go downstairs.
And... David will give you the address.
[Dramatic music]
[Suspense music]
Jim knows everything.
He helps people.
[Paper rustling]
[Paper rustling]
Yeah.
I got this picture from Safia.
Turn it over.
[Suspense music]
Isn't that your handwriting?
[Folding paper]
Now you need to know the whole story.
It starts the night that Tyrill shot Jim.
[Gun shots]
[Sobs]
Pain isn't fading, Mason.
I, Edward Brown, accept you...
as my only ghost.
I, Edward Brown, accept you...
as my only ghost.
I need something from you.
Anything, Jim.
Anything you need.
I want Tyrill Davis dead.
[Suspense music]
Not that I can't do it myself.
[Door shuts]
Don't run.
What's the point in helping you?
If you won't help me back?
And do exactly as I say.
Sure.
2.30 in the morning.
Grace's room.
Edward's done his part.
Now you have to do yours.
Sure, Jim.
[Camera clicks]
Thank you.
[Dramatic music]
You recognise this picture?
Yeah, I recognise this picture.
Mr. Davis, do you love Nia?
Yes. I love Nia.
Do you think she might be in this position
because of all the wrong
you have done hurting people.
Could you be responsible for Safia
and Nia's pain and suffering?
What? What do you want from me?
Turn it over.
If you feel you are responsible,
now is your chance for redemption.
Don't miss it.
[Suspense music]
Can I please talk with Nia?
Sure.
Hello
Is this Nia?
Yes, this is Nia Thompson.
I'll do whatever you want,
just let her go.
Please let her go. I'll do whatever you
want.
I agree to do anything you want me to do.
Call authorities in half an hour
And it will be done
I am sorry Maddie, but I'll have
to go to Internal Affairs with this.
Sure, you can do that.
Why did you do this
Jim told me to do it
What about your conscience
My conscience?
Let me tell you what I am feeling
about my conscience Parker
I think we are cursed.
You me, everyone.
Prayers don't seem to help
I think ghosts are cursed just like us
Sometimes the only remedy
for a curse is another curse
Prayer can't fix a curse
Do you think prayer is going to help you?
Help you with that stage 3 cancer you got
What?
You've been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.
Am I wrong?
How did you know that?
I haven't told my wife yet.
Nobody knows that
Jim knows and he told me
I'm fed up with this bullshit about Jim.
What are you doing with these cases?
Instigating suicide?
Killing people?
I'm done with all of this.
Parker, take it easy.
You've been cured. Jim cured you.
You think this is a joke or something?
I have the report in
my car right out there.
Go back to the doctor.
Get your blood work done again.
You're clean, Parker.
Clean as a newborn.
Afterwards, if you are grateful,
come and take Jim's hands.
We'll be waiting for you.
Parker, I don't know how to tell you this.
I have never seen anything like
this happen in my entire career.
I've never seen a mistake like
this occur anywhere.
And we sincerely apologize on behalf
of the hospital and everyone involved.
What is it?
Parker, your reports are normal.
You aren't sick.
I don't know how we made
a mistake like this but
we're investigating it internally.
This is a serious matter.
We had 25 reports done
all suggesting serious illness.
And now all of them are normal.
Those are my reports right there?
Yes.
Can I get them back?
Look, Parker, don't sue us, okay?
If you'd like, we can do further tests.
That won't be necessary.
[Dramatic music]
[Poignant music]
[Door closing]
He's waiting for you.
Just up the stairs.
First door to your left.
[Eerie music]
Thank you for helping me, Jim.
Take my hand.
And repeat after me.
I, Jack Parker
I, Jack Parker
I accept you as my only ghost
accept you as my only ghost.
And from this moment on,
my soul belongs to you.
From this moment on,
my soul belongs to you.
And from this moment on,
my soul belongs to you.
And from this point forward,
my soul belongs to you.
Say it.
And from this point on,
my soul belongs to you.
It's done now.
[Dramatic music]
[Peppy music]
Hey, do you need some more coffee?
Yes, espresso.
[Coffee pouring]
Thank you.
Coffee?
Thank you.
Thank you.
[Chair screeching]
[Clanking sound]
Please pack one medium
sized cheesecake.
Which flavour?
It's winter mint.
[indistinct sound]
[Plates clanking]
Thank you.

Your cake is here.
It's from your favorite shop.
Winter mint flavor, just like you like.
Come have a look.
[Suspense music]
I would like to go home to my daddy.
This is home now.
No, this is not.
This is a cage.
Your daddy doesn't want you.
He doesn't love you anymore.
He loves me very much.
You're not letting me go.
If your father loved you,
he'd have found you by now.
But he's not trying very hard
to find you.
Do you know
why he's not trying very hard?
Because he's glad that you're gone.
That's not true.
He loves my very much.
You're not letting me go.
It is.
[Ominous music]
And you need to accept this
and appreciate what I'm doing for you.
Otherwise, you'll be gone
from here soon, as well.
Do you want to take this cake
or should I toss it in the trash?
I drove 20 miles just
to get you this cake.
If you do not eat it,
you will be receiving
no more cakes from me.
I'll take that cake and thank you
so much, Mr. William.
[Plate shattering]

Is this you!
Yes, daddy.
Baby...
[Sobbing]
Where have you been?
I was inside the cage.
Where?
Daddy, I'm hungry. Can I come inside?
Can I get something to eat?
Of course. Yeah.
Are you sure you don't want to change
before you eat?
No, dad. I'd like to eat first.
[Bread in toaster]
[Blender sound]
[Pouring juice]
[Toast popping]
[Birds chirping]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah, this is Maddy.
Maddy.
Grace came home.
How? Who brought her?
[Crockery sound]
She came by herself.
She rang the doorbell.
I opened it.
There she was.
Okay...
That's really strange.
What is she doing now?
Where is she?
She was hungry.
I made her some sandwiches.
She is eating it.
Okay, Look.
Edward, don't change her clothes,
don't bathe her or anything.
We'll need to get samples.
Also, probably need
to get her to the doctor
as soon as we can.
Get her checked out.
- Make sure she's okay.
- Yeah, sure.
And, Edward,
bring her to the hospital
as soon as you can, okay.
I'll text you the location.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music]
Hi, Grace.
Hi.
My name is Maddy.
- This is Dr. Rita Patel.
- Hi.
She'd like to examine you.
But, I am not sick.
No. You're doing just fine.
But you've been away
from your dad for a little bit.
He just wants to make
sure you've been
eating and sleeping okay.
After that you can change your
clothes and head home.
Okay?
Okay.
Right.
[Velcro scraping]
If you have any more details,
that might be helpful.
How she showed up?
Did someone drop her off?
Shouldn't you be looking for details?
[Sighs]
That's fair.
[Foot steps]
Thank you.
- She seems fine.
- Thank you.
I'll get the other reports
back by tomorrow.
But it's all good.
I would let her rest today.
Try not to bother her with
too many questions.
We'll handle that tomorrow
when you come in.
Okay.
[Ominous music]
[Door opens]
[Ominous music]
[Pouring coffee]
[Phone ringing]
[Foot steps]
- Hi, Grace.
- Hi.
I got this for you.
Thanks.
Do you like chocolates?
Yeah.
What else do you like?
Cakes.
I can have them order you some cakes
if you want.
I don't want to eat cakes any more.
Why is that?
That man, inside the cage,
offered me cake.
[Ominous music]
So you had to eat cake
when you were inside the cage?
- Is that right?
- No.
But you just said that the bad man
offered you cake.
The cake fell.
The cop pushed the man
from behind and it fell.
Wait... There was a cop there?
The cop that took me out of the cage
and brought me home.
How did you know it was a cop?
Because he was dressed like one.
Like this?
Yeah, like this.
Grace, sweety,
I need you to help me understand.
You said there was a bad man
who took you.
He put you in a cage,
but then he offered you cake.
Then a cop showed up,
pushed him down.
Took you out of the cage,
and then brought you home.
Is that right?
Yes, that's right.
Did this cop
take you in his own car?
No, he took me home in a van.
It's a big ugly van.
Okay.
Grace, did the cop bring you home
in the same ugly van
that the bad man took you in?
Yes.
Okay.
[Suspense music]
So the cop came and pushed
the bad man down.
Took you out of the cage,
brought you home in an ugly van
and then left in the same ugly van
after he dropped you off?
Yes, but he didn't leave in the same van.
That van is still parked near my house.
The van is still near your house.
It's there.
We need to go to your house,
and I mean now.
We need to find the van.
[Engine revving]
[Suspense music]
You look scared.
I look scared because I am scared.
We got the van at the house.
The van she was probably
abducted in.
It's your lucky day.
What is there to be scared of?
Doesn't make any sense.
Feels like we're walking
through a mine field
and any minute the ground's
gonna explode.
Explode? Are you serious?
Bear, think about it.
When, in the history of
any criminal abduction,
have you heard about,
or read or seen that
a kid is abducted,
kept by their abductor
in a cage for fifteen days
and then she just
shows up back at home?
Not to mention, apparently some
random cop rescued her
and brought her home
in the same van she was abducted in.
Seems like a fairy tale except
we don't have fairies in our line of work.
Eventually those fairies turn
into monsters
and those monsters show up
and they say hi.
[Suspense music]
That's what I am scared of.

Hey, Watts,
can you run a plate for me?
It's GRG-2354
[Keyboard tapping]
Are you ready?
- Should I say it or should I text it?
- You can just say it.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music continues]
[Gun loaded]

[Ominous music]
[Intense music]
Clear.
[Suspense music]
Clear.
We got a body.
[Poignant music]
No pulse.
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Detective Maddy again.
We found the place
where Grace was being held.
It's exactly like she described.
We also found a body.
It appears to be that of the kidnapper.
Seems like the cop may have killed him
before he took Grace away from here.
I would keep her away
from the news for next two weeks.
Does he look like
he was a serial offender?
I don't know.
This place has all the signs, so
yeah, I think he may have been.
Grace is very lucky.
I'd like to see the place.
No, not a good idea.
[Suspense music]

His name was Will Rave.
He inherited his farm from his father,
and he lived there his whole life.
Married twice.
His second wife died from
complication during childbirth.
He buried her on that farm,
even though the locals objected.
Got a priest
Went ahead and laid her to rest any way.
[Picking the mobile]
[Dialling]
[Phone buzzing]
What's up, Maddy?
Hey, Jeff, have you guys found
a grave anywhere on the property?
Grave? What kind of grave?
This place is huge.
We don't see any grave.
It would be your typical grave,
probably with a headstone
and an inscription on it.
Apparently, this guy William Rave,
buried his wife on the property.
According to the papers,
it looks like a priest may
have conducted the service.
I'll send you over the printout.
And Jeff, we need to find this grave.
It could lead us to the remains
of the other missing kids.
Oh no.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music continues]
[Loud music]
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Yeah-yeah, we found the grave.
[Suspense music]
[Cars approaching]
[Door opening]
[Eerie music]
[Camera clicking]
Four bodies, all kids.
Buried in a circular motion
around the grave.
We put some more holes in the ground,
but I think we got it.
[Camera clicking]
[Suspense music]
Ground just exploded.
No more fairies.
We've conducted a thorough search
on Will Rave's farm,
and found the remains
of four children buried near
William Rave's former
wife's grave site Melina Rave.
[Camera flashes]
We also believe that the same
individual was responsible
for the abduction of Grace Brown.
Now, fortunately she was able to escape
the farm and make it home safely.
Although William Rave was found dead,
this investigation remains open
as there are number of questions
that we seek to ask before
we can conclude exactly.
Thank you. And no further questions.
Sir, please...
How'd she make it home?
Were there any witnesses?
- Hi...
- How are ya...?
How are you?
Hey...
[Sighs]
This is from your shop, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Can you give me the security footage
from the sixth of this month?
Can you wait about five minutes?
- Sure. I'll be right here.
- Thank you.
[Door opens]
[Phone ringing]
[Chair creaking]
Hey, Maddy.
You know, I can't thank God enough
after watching all this.
Yeah, you should thank God.
He's been very kind.
He brought Grace back to you.
Listen, we don't know anything
about the cop that Grace
believes freed her
and brought her home.
We don't know his identity
and how he reached the farm.
So we may need
to question Grace again.
No, no, Grace has been subjected
to too much already.
She can't go through any more.
I understand and I agree with you.
I will handle all of the questions
If you like, I'll ask Dr. Patel to sit in.
Edward, it's crucial that we speak
to Grace right away.
[Sighs]
[phone keypad Click]
[Suspense music]
[Footsteps]
Grace, we have some pictures here
of some cops I'd like you to look at.
Is it this man?
No.
[Suspense music]
[Keyboard Clicking]
No.
Him?
No.
[Keyboard Clicking]
No.
Him?
No.
How about him?
No.
[Suspense music]
None of them?
No.
Do you want to look at
the pictures one more time?
No.
Edward, can I see you outside
for a minute?
I would like to take her to the cafe
where William bought her this cake.
No! Grace has been through enough.
She can't answer any more
of your questions.
This isn't what's best for her.
Edward, I understand your concern, but...
you have to look at it
from this perspective.
This random cop...
We don't know anything about him.
He could be an accomplice to
William Rave and killing those kids.
Right now, he is roaming
the streets freely.
He could be picking up other kids.
Grace was incredibly lucky.
But those other four girls were
not so fortunate.
In fact, any point you feel like we're
putting too much pressure on her,
you can take her and leave.
And this will be the last thing?
Absolutely.
What do you want to do at the cafe?
Just have a seat,
maybe order some food.
See if she recognizes anyone
or anything.
[Suspense music]
[Munching]
[Dramatic music]
Thank you.
Grace, have you been here before?
No.
[Dramatic music]
Okay, then.
Okay, c'mon.
Hi.
[Pouring juice]
[Pouring juice]
That's him.
I am sorry, Hon.
That's the cop who dropped me
home and saved me.
[Suspense music]
[Plates clanking]
You mean Jim?
I am not too sure of his name.
All I know is he took me out
of the cage and brought me home.
Maddy, is everything okay?
Yeah, Mason.
Grace was just saying
she saw someone that look like Jim.
Thank you.
Come on, sweety, let's go.
[Suspense music]
[Dramatic music]
[Keys jangling]
Hey, sweety.
- Get in the car and finish up your drink.
- Okay.
He's over there.
Yes, Edward.
What's this all about?
What do you mean?
I mean Grace recognized
that cop on the wall.
Are you not going to follow up on that?
Let's just leave things
like they are, okay.
Questioning Grace isn't really
getting us anywhere.
It's just complicating things.
She identified the cop.
Edward,
the cop hanging on that wall
in there is our colleague Jim.
He died a year ago
in this cafe. How do you think
we should feel about that?
Alright, Grace must have seen someone
who looked like Jim.
Of course. I mean that's the
only thing that makes sense.
Alright, I am sorry.
[Suspense music]
[Brushing teeth]

I think his name is Jim.
Jim?

No, I'm okay.
Okay.
Alright. Take care.

[Keys jangling]
[Chair creaks]
You wanted to talk to me?
Earlier when we were...
When we were looking at
the security camera footage...
It was from a bad angle.
We couldn't see the driver's face.
So
Last night I went and checked
from a different angle,
and I saw this.
[Keyboard Click]
[Suspense music]
What do you think?
Grace hasn't been able to sleep
in her room since she got back.
I thought it was
because of what happened.
Last night,
she came to sleep in my bed and...
She says Jim has been in her room.
Jesus!
So I went to the room and checked.
And you saw Jim?
I felt a presence.
And I saw something,
like a shadow.
[Chair creaks]
[Foot steps]
Nia, can I give you a ride home?
No, thank you.
Mom will come pick me up.
- Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
- You too.

No, problem.

[TV program me]
Hello.
Hey, it's Rob down at the station.
Yeah, I got Safia Thompson here.
And she says her daughter is missing.
Yeah, she'd like to talk to a detective.
Have you called Maddy?
Oh I gave her a call already.
She is already headed in.
She just wanted me
to give you a heads up.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Okay.
[Places phone receiver]
[Footsteps]
[Suspense music]
Thank you.
[Night Insect]
Where is she?
Room five.
[Turning pages]
So, her daughter is a teenager
that's only been gone for a few hours.
Why is she jumping to conclusions
that she's gone missing?
Honestly, detective,
with all buzz and media frenzy going
on about girls missing these days,
abduction is going
to be a prime concern.
True.
[Turning pages]
She mentions her daughter's
phone in the statement.
Can you check it for me?
Will do.
[Foot steps]
- Safia Thompson?
- Yes.
I am detective Maddy Wells.
I am in-charge
of the missing person's cases.
I see here in your statement
that your daughter Nia
has only been gone a couple of hours.
Why do you want
to report her as missing?
I know my daughter very well.
She never comes home late.
She doesn't stay anywhere else, ever!
Is it possible that she is mad
at you because
you didn't come pick her up on time?
I just spoke to her earlier.
It was before she left school
to come home.
She sounded fine to me.
I just think something happened
to her.
[Chair creaks]
Ms. Thompson,
is Nia allowed to take her phone
to school?
No. She is not allowed, but...
I gave her one just in case
for emergencies.
She is not allowed to call or text
anyone off that phone
while she is in school.
She keeps it inside her bag.
When is the last time
you spoke with her?
I can check.
[Sighs]
[Checks phone]
2:32
That was the exact time.
It says here that her
phone was turned off at
2:42 pm.
[Paper rumbling]
If no one knew she had
a phone in her bag,
it's most likely she turned
it off herself.
[Sighs]
Or her kidnapper knew that
she had a phone
and switched it off to hide her location.
All due respect, Ms. Thompson,
I don't think your daughter
was kidnapped.
Well, it's not what you think,
detective.
It's what I know.
I heard about those young
girls missing cases lately.
The one that you'll
have been investigating.
It is true that we had some
cases of missing girls
but that kidnapper is no longer
on the streets.
Besides, Nia doesn't really
fit the profile.
He mostly targeted girls
that were white.
If I were to take a guess,
I would say Nia is probably just
upset about something,
and she'll be home later tonight.
You should go there and wait for her.
In the meantime,
one thing we can do is...
If you want to give us
a list of her friends
and their numbers,
we can give them a call.
Whatever you say.
[Sobbing]
[Crying]
[Suspense music]
[Door shuts]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah, Parker.
This is a blind spot.
No cameras, no homes here, nothing.
It's completely secluded.
Nobody could have seen this.
How soon can you get back here?
Like 15 minutes.
[Sad music]
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey, Safia, this is detective Maddy.
We'd like to speak to you again.
Is there a time today that you
could come back by the station?
I am ready now. I can come now.
Great.
[Sound of paper]
We saw this black van on security
cameras about 19 miles away
from the spot where Nia went missing.
So you think that this is
the van that took her.
Yeah. Either that, or it's possible
that Nia knew the driver
and got in willingly.
Can you tell us where her father is?
Her father died three years ago
from cancer.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What was his name?
Lomar.
Lomar Thompson.
But why would you think that Nia
would know the driver of this van?
We went to the spot where
Nia's phone was switched off.
That van was seen 20 miles
away at 2:21
Twenty minutes later at 2:41
Nia switched her phone off.
Can you just get to the point?
What are you try to say?
I think Nia may have switched her
phone off as that van approached.
Either that, or...
[Sighs]
Or what?
The person inside the van
may have known
that Nia carried a phone
inside her bag.
You don't believe that
she was kidnapped, do you?
My daughter
is out there alone.
And you trying to sit here and avoid the
fact that she's been taken by somebody.
This don't make no damn sense.
You keep trying to say that
she needs to know the person.
Why does it matter
if she knew the person or not?
Why wouldn't you just listen to me?
[Cries]
I know in my heart what
happened to my daughter.
[Suspense music]
[Car approaching]
[plastic bag rustles]
I keep having these nightmares
over and over again.
That she's alone in some dark place.
[Unlocks door]
And that she's tied up with tape
over her mouth.
[Door opens]
She's trying to call,
she is trying to cry out to me.
But she can't.
She can't. I can't get to her.
I need to use the restroom.
Please,
[Sighs]
You need to find her.
Okay.
We will continue the investigation
with the possibility that
she has been abducted.
Thank you.
[plastic bag rustles]
[Suspense music]
If you promise to behave,
I can make sure you stay comfortable.
Sure, please don't hurt me.
You'll be home and safe
with your family again soon.
Don't try anything smart.
Don't get any big ideas.
Or I'll have to tie you back up
and tape your mouth.
Okay.
[Keys jangling]
[Car unlocks]
[Sighs]
[Dragging trolley]
[Door bell rings]
[Door opens]
- Mummy...
- Hi, baby.
Dad, look who's here.
It's mummy.
Where had you been?
[Door shuts]
I have so many things to tell you.
Yeah?
I got all A's on my report card.
Did you!
So proud...
- Hi.
- Hi...
I would have called but...
I lost my phone on the way, so...
I just came through here.
It's fine.
[Chuckles]
You probably need to freshen up.
Why don't you use my room?
Let's go.
[Phone ringing]
Hello.
Hey, Edward, it's Maddy.
Is now good time to talk?
Yeah, sure.
It seems like we may have
another missing kid.
I'd really like to talk to Grace again
about her conversation with Jim.
I don't think that's
a good idea right now.
Her mother just got back.
Whose mother?
Grace...
Grace's mother.
She just came back.
Okay. Just give me a call when you
get a chance to talk to Grace, okay.
Sure.
[Suspense music]
Edward, I...
You don't have to change anything
just because I am back.
I'm really happy that you're here.
Grace especially needs you
after everything she's been through.
What has Grace been through?
We can talk about it this evening.
I am late for work.
I got to go.
I'm gonna say bye to Grace.
Don't tell your mother about Jim.
[Poignant music]
[Typing]
Okay, so you should start
this medication immediately.
And then we need to plan
for your hospitalization days.
How long can I continue like
this without hospitalization?
About 36 weeks.
But then you need to come
to the hospital.
Well eventually,
weakness will be evident.
But it all depends on how your
body responds to the medication.
Have you told your wife about this?
Not yet.
Look, you need
to tell her immediately.
It's going to be too shocking
if she finds out about this later.
If you can hear me,
wherever you are,
please know,
Nia is a sweet girl.
And she don't deserve this.
I'll pray that you be forgiven
for all of your sins.
Please, please just bring my
baby girl back to me.
This is your chance.
This is your time.
This is your time to make
things right for all of us.
Please, you have the chance
to change this.
[Sighs]
Just bring my baby girl to me, please.
Sir, can you explain since
the alleged abductor is dead,
why are other children
being kidnapped?
Or is it possible that
you have the wrong man
in the first place?
William Rave is a serial offender.
[Sobbing]
He's responsible for the abduction
and murder of six children in this area.
But he's been killed.
But that being said,
we believe that there is another offender.
If I may, who killed William Rave?
We can't answer
that question at this time.
So this is the spot right here?
Yeah, right here.
She was in there waiting
and I asked her if she wanted a ride.
But she said she was going
to wait for her mom.
Was she depressed or scared
or stressed out at all.
No, she seemed perfectly
fine, normal.
That's why I figured it
was okay to leave.
Okay...
Do you mind if I see her school records?
Of course.
Yeah, we can go to the principal's
office and grab those.
[Footsteps]
[Birds chirping]
[Typing]
- Maddy.
- Yeah.
Did Nia Thompson change her name?
[Typing]
What do you mean change her name?
According to her earlier school records,
her name's Nia Davis.
[Paper rumbling]
So, Safia's husband Lomar Thompson
is not Nia's father.
Apparently not.
She married someone before
she married Lomar Thompson.
That's not what she said
in her statement.
She told us Lomar Thompson
is Nia's father.
Why would she lie about that?
[Sighs]
[Suspense music]
[Door bell rings]
[Footsteps]
[Door opens]
- Hello, detectives.
- Hi, Safia.
Can I get you guys anything to drink?
Coffee? Tea?
No, thank you, Safia.
We're just here to ask you a question.
Okay. Come over here.
[Sobbing]
Who is Nia's father?
Lomar.
My late husband.
Her biological father, Safia?
Come on, Safia.
You need to tell us.
Marrying with child was a mistake, okay.
We separated almost immediately
when Nia was born.
Me and Lomar was already married
for five years by the time.
How could you come here to ask for
Nia's biological father?
[Scoffs]
Why does that matter?
It matters, Safia.
Every detail in a criminal
investigation matters.
Answer the question.
Who is Nia's biological father?
It's Tyrell Davis.
[Dramatic music]
[Gun shot]
Why didn't you tell us this earlier?
How was I supposed to tell you
that he was a cop killer?
He killed Jim Wheeler.
If I told you, you wouldn't have
put the same effort here for Nia.
[Chair creaking]
Safia, that's not true.
And now you've hindered
this investigation
by withholding this information
from us.
Had you told us earlier,
we could have been
in a better position to help
both you and Nia.
You can't tell the press about this.
Please.
I will do what I can to keep
this away from the media.
But you've made a serious mistake.
[Chair creaking]
[Sobbing]
[Night insect]
I am so sorry you had
to go through this alone.
You really didn't hear anything?
Not on the television, not online.
No. I was in the middle
of nowhere with a friend.
Look, Edward,
I know I haven't been a good mother.
I want to make up for lost time
with Grace and with you.
If you have something to say,
I am ready to hear it.
I was in a shitty town
with a shitty friend...
[Dramatic music]
We had bought some pills off the street,
and instead of ecstasy,
it was some kind of poison.
Oh no.
Hey, no, no, no...
Oh my, God.
Oh no.
He died right in front of me
from a pill that I put in his mouth.
[Dramatic music]
I was all alone
in the middle of the night
in a hotel room with a dead body.
[Knocking on door]
One second.
[Suspense music]
I had no money to get home.
I thought I was gonna rot in jail.
[Knocking on door]
Then this cop just showed up.
I had no idea how he knew
my name and my address
and literally everything about me.
[Door opens]
I don't know. I don't know, I mean,
I am so scared.
Go home.
[sobbing]
Go home.
He gave me plane tickets
and some cash.
It was like he was an angel
who showed up just to save me.
[Suspense music]
[Paper rustling]
I am glad you are back.
Missed you.
Edward,
I am sorry.
You are fine.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Birds chirping]
[Suspense music]
[Sighs]
Please help me understand.
How could you miss something so basic?
So crucial information about her father!
Because Safia purposely hid it from us.
So she gave a false statement.
The only reason we found out about it
is because Parker was working into
Nia's old school records.
And you should have known
that from the beginning.
- But chief...
- I don't want to hear it.
I've been listening to you
for way too long.
And I am disappointed
in your investigation.
You have no idea
who killed William Rave.
You don't know
how Grace made it home,
and you have no clue
about Nia's disappearance.
After three days of investigation
and several press conferences,
you spring some new information
on me now!
Do you know what this looks like to me?
Huh?
Let me tell you.
It looks like lousy,
incompetent police work.
Chief, don't you see?
Nia and Grace,
they have a common link now.
It's Jim.
Do not come to me
with this ghosty crap
that you have been spewing.
Do you hear how you sound?
Like seriously.
We're supposed to arrest
and indict ghosts now?
Is that what you are telling me?
You have seven days
to finish this investigation
or I am transferring you.
Do you understand me?
- Do you understand me?
- Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
[Footsteps]
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Door creaks]
Excuse me.
- How are you doing?
- Good.
My name is Detective Madison Wells.
Is it okay if I ask you a few questions?
Sure.
[Photo shakes]
Have you ever seen a model
of a van like this?
Sold any parts
for something like that lately?
I can't say for sure.
All right, no problem.
Thank you for your help.
- You're welcome. I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
-Good day
-Thanks, thank you. You too.
Thank you.
Have you done any work on this van in your
garage?
No, not like that.
Sorry about that.
Thank you.
[Chair creaks]
Hey Maddy.
Sorry, we're not open yet.
Be back in 45 minutes.
But if you don't mind waiting,
grab yourself a cup of coffee
until the services are ready.
Actually
I want to talk to you.
Do you have a few minutes?
[Pouring coffee]
Thank you.
[Suspense music]
[Keys jangling]
Can you tell me about that night?
The night Jim was shot.
[Dramatic music]
He was a regular here.
He used to come
in often during his night shifts.
[Door opens]
That night he just needed
to use the restroom.
He knows the restrooms are
at the back of the store
so he parked in the back
and came in through the back door.
I wouldn't even know here
he was in the cafe.
I was standing behind the bar
cleaning the counter. All right?
- And bam the door flies open.
- [Banging sound]
[Dramatic music]
Put your mother fg hands up!
Put them up.
- Relax.
- Shut the fk up.
Take the money out of the register
and put them on the fg counter.
Hurry up.
Don't fg play with me.
- Your eyes on me.
- Okay.
- All right, here.
- Now.
- Cash.
- It's all there. All right.
- C'mon put it all out there.
- That's it.
- You sure that's it?
- That's it.
Put that fG ring with the money.
Put the fg ring above the money now.
Okay.
- Hurry up.
- Hang on. All right.
Put it above the money.
It's all right there.
[Gun shots]
[Man drops on the floor]
No!
He had all the money
and my ring.
Jim was shot
so he wouldn't be able to do anything.
He should've just taken
the money and gone.
I mean I could've gotten help for Jim...
who knows he'd survive the gun shot!
I don't know.
But that guy turned around
it was some kind of drug or something
- he just wouldn't leave.
- Look at you now.
- Fg dirty Harry.
- Instead he walks right up to Jim
with the gun in his hand.
Would you do me a favour
and make my fg day
and reach for your loaded gun.
C'mon, reach forward.
Nah! I guess you give up now, right?
Nah, I don't give up.
I don't give up.
I'll shoot you in your fg face!
Fg face.
No!
No! Damn it!
[Gun shots]
Mason
have you seen Jim since that night?
I'll answer your question.
But the real question is
can you handle the answer?
Try me.
Jim was killed at 2:35 am, right?
Right.
In the night...
Now we know that because of the autopsy.
Anyone one night I'm up late night
cleaning up or something
all by myself of course.
I noticed the time was 2:35
[Startled sound]
And I look right over there
and Jim was sitting in that chair.
I thought it was some kind of an illusion
you know or trick of the eye or something
but there he was.
He was standing right
before as clear as day!
How clear?
As clear as I see you right now.
How are you doing, Jim?
I'm not doing so well.
What's wrong?
I'm surrounded by grief.
Restless and pain.
Olivia never got a chance
to kiss me goodbye.
Her heart still yearns
to see my face one last time.
[Sobs]
Olivia was Jim's childhood sweetheart
who became his wife some time back.
I've never seen two people more in love
than Jim and Olivia.
Can you please remove
that bandage from his face?
I need to see him.
I'm sorry, we can't do that.
The bullet's totally disfigured his face.
You have to bury him with
those bandages on.
[Sobs]
[Sobs]
Jim..
Good bye, my love.
[Kiss]
[Sobs]
She deserved to see my face
before they buried me.
She deserved a farewell kiss.
We deserve to say good bye to each other.
Pain
isn't fading.
[Suspense music]
Do you think Jim could've saved that girl
Grace?
I firmly believe that
Jim is capable of performing miracles.
Yes, ma'am.
This shop you know the losses
I was just
the loans and debts...
Oh my goodness!
Anyway, Jim is here one night
and I was telling him about that. I said,
Jim I think I'll have to sell the place.
He looked right at me and said
don't do that.
He said I'll take care of it.
Have faith in me.
Accept my hand
and you should put up my picture
on the wall right there.
He says if you do those things
all your troubles are gone.
Ah..
I accepted him, I did
what he asked,
I put up his picture right there
and now look at us!
We're flourishing here!
Jim worked wonders.
He saved that girl, Maddy.
Yes, ma'am.
That girl's telling you the truth.
[Suspense music]
[Suspense music]
[Phone ringing]
Hey, Maddy. What's up?
Edward, where are you now?
I'm at work.
Can you send me your location?
I'll come to you.
We need to talk.
Sure.
[Suspense music]
[Car comes to a halt]
You seem anxious.
I'm anxious.
I keep hearing
all these stories about Jim.
Mason, the cafe owner
he says he's seen him
and talked to him
that he has powers to do things.
They say Jim has the power
to do anything he wants.
So you believe this too.
-100%
-Have you seen him?
Has he been in Grace's room?
[Suspense music]
I've seen him.
[Door shuts]
Easy man. I'm not going to hurt you.
It was the night Grace came
and slept in my room.
She said she was scared
and Jim was in her room.
Thank you for bringing her home.
No problem.
If you want,
I can give you other things too.
Like what?
Anything you desire.
- I see Grace needs her mother.
- Kelly?
I can't have Kelly back.
Kelly's a mess.
Kelly was wild at heart.
Parties,
booze, drugs, men...
You name it, she tried it.
She wasn't cut out to be a mother.
She left us when
Grace was just 4 years old.
You want Kelly to be a loving mother
- a caring wife.
- Yeah.
I can get Kelly back for you.
[Sighs heavily]
You know what's strange about miracles?
What's that?
When it happens, it seems like
the most normal thing in the world.
I brought Grace back to you
without asking for a thing.
And now I bring Kelly back to you
but I ask something of you.
Anything, Jim.
Anything you need.
Now Kelly's back.
After 6 years she just walked
in 2 days ago,
all her wildness gone.
She's taking care of Grace.
I've never seen her like this before.
What did Jim ask for in return?
Take my hand.
He offered me his hand.
I took it.
I accepted him into my life.
Look at me now.
I want to meet Jim.
This other girl Nia, she's gone missing.
I need his help.
Grace's room, 2:30 in the morning.
You want me to come to your house
at 2:30 in the morning?
If you want to meet Jim,
that's the best time.
Just don't ring the door bell.
Give me a call on the phone,
I'll open the door.
You can go upstairs.
We'll see if Jim wants to meet you.
[Suspense music]
[Door opens]
[Foot steps]
- Good morning, Maddy.
- Hi, father.
Come walk with me.
[Foot steps]
I need to you talk
to you about something serious.
Sure. Go ahead, Maddy.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Are they real?
What kind of question is that?
[Chuckles]
Of course I believe in god
and I believe in ghosts.
Once you accept one
you're bound to accept the other.
If you could be a little more specific
maybe I can help you more.
There's this ghost.
He helped rescue an abducted girl
and now another girl's gone missing.
I need some help. I know the place
where he usually shows up.
I'm supposed to meet him tonight.
I'm a bit scared.
[Chuckles]
Do you think I'm crazy?
You don't sound crazy to me.
I've known you since you were a kid.
I knew your father.
You're a sharp lady, a good detective.
But if you're here for my advice
I would suggest
you don't take help from that ghost.
Ghosts are forbidden to us.
You must not forget
they're ghosts because
they disobeyed the command of god.
They refused god
when god asked them to leave
this place after their death.
[Dramatic music]
[Suspense music]
[Chair creaks]
I'm on the way.
[Door opens]
Come in.
First door on your left.
Wait, you're not coming?
It doesn't work like that.
He's only visible to one person at a time.
Go.
He's almost coming.
[Eerie music]
Hi, Maddy.
[Eerie music]
[Birds chirping]
[Foot steps]
Hi, Maddy.
Hi, Sofia.
I was wondering if I could get
a picture of when Nia was smaller
like 2 or 3 years old.
Sure but why do you need her old pictures?
I'm not at liberty to disclose
that right now
but I do have my reasons.
I'm certain I know where Nia's been kept.
She'll be home soon.
Just show me the pictures.
Okay.
[Door opens]
[Suspense music]
This one.
[Camera clicks]
[Exhales]
Thank you.
[Dramatic music]
[Car door opening]
[Door shuts]
[Gate slides open]
- How are you doing?
- Good.
I'm detective Maddy Wells.
Your security footage
is working out there?
Yes, they are working.
Can I get the footage
from the last 10 days?
We need a drive to save the video.
Can you put it on this?
All right, give me a minute and I'll get
it.
Thanks.
[Dramatic music]
[Hair machine noise]
[Suspense music continue]
Parker,
there's some security camera footage
on this drive
Can you check if
there's a black van passing by?
Sure. Where's this footage from?
I'll text you the location.
Tell me if you find anything.
[Suspense music]
Mr Davis.
I'm Detective Wells
I'm investigating
the case of Nia Thompson.
Are you aware that Nia's gone missing?
Uhh...
I saw it on the news.
[Paper rustling]
Do you remember this picture?
Yeah, I remember this picture.
Were you still with Nia and Safia
when this was taken or had you already
separated?
What does it matter?
It matters. Please answer the question.
I was still with Nia when this picture was
taken.
Thank you.
[Suspense music]
Hello.
Is this Nia?
Yes, this is Nia Thompson.
Who is this?
It got disconnected.
[Suspense music]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah.
Where have you been? I've been trying
to reach you for the last hour.
Yeah, I left my phone in the car.
What's up?
The security footage you provided
shows the van passing
the camera every day at 10 am.
That footage is from the store.
- I'll send you the location.
- Bye.
[Car approaching]
In which direction was the van seen going
in?
Across the south direction.
Okay, follow that path.
I'll try to reach as fast as I can.
Share your live location.
[Suspense music]
The first structure on your left.
It's a closed motel.
I think we should look into it.
People could be held there.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
Seems fine, nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm going to keep looking.
There's a trash bag. Looks like there's a
burner phone in it.
Okay, you can look around.
Just be careful.
Maddy, this place is completely abandoned
except this one door with the latch on.
Go back to your car
and wait for me there.
Call for back up
and wait for me there.
I'll be there in about 20 minutes.
[Suspense music]
[Door opens]
[Guns loading]
[Door opens]
[Applause]
Need to see you guys in the office.
[Foot steps]
Good job.
Made it to the site on time.
Where were you?
My cousin was in the hospital.
I had to go visit him
and come rushing back.
Okay.
[Sighs]
Listen
This is only halfway complete.
I need answers.
Who murdered William Rave.
Who helped Grace escape the farm
and who abducted Nia?
And till we get those answers
this investigation is not complete?
Understand?
But... today is your day.
You should enjoy.
Thanks.
[TV program me]
[Eerie music]
[Engine revving]
So that's it.
You don't remember anything
specific about the man?
No.
So why did he use this phone?
He wanted me to talk
to someone using that phone.
Who did you speak to?
He handed me the phone.
I said hello and the person
on the line asked me who I was.
I replied,
"I'm Nia Thompson".
He Disconnected.
And that's it?
Yes.
[Paper sound]
Okay.
Safia, you can go now.
We need anything else we'll reach out.
[Pouring coffee]
[Shaker sound]
[Suspense music]
My cousin was in the hospital.
I had to go visit him
and come rushing back.
[Paper slides]
[Dramatic music]
Maddy. I left my phone.
Can I have the car keys, please.
Yeah.
[Keys jangling]
Thank you.
[Door opens]
[Door shuts]
[Engine revving]
[Suspense music]
May I help you?
Detective Parker.
I am here to inquire about
the footage acquired by my partner.
Yes, sir.
That footage helped you, didn't it?
But did she tell you about
what led her to this place?
Well, I'm in no position to be asking
a detective anything, am I?
It's fine. Thank you.
[Suspense music]
[Phone ringing]
Yeah, Parker.
Maddie,
I've something to talk to you about.
Can you join me for lunch?
Sure.
Okay, I'm headed to Masons.
I'll see you in 10 minutes.
Okay, I am coming.
[Random sound]
[Door opens]
Did you order already?
Yeah. What would you like?
Ice tea.
One ice tea, please.
Got it.
We got those two girls but
their perpetrator's still
out there somewhere.
And I think somebody
from the inside is helping them.
[Plate on the table]
What makes you think someone
from the inside is helping them?
You already knew the address to the motel.
I saw it on your GPS.
You were there the day before.
Who gave you the address, Maddie.
Jim did.
[Suspense music]
Hi, Maddie.
Jim gave me that address.
There's another that's gone missing
and I...
need your help.
I already helped with Grace.
Not expecting anything in return.
If you need my help again,
I'll need to ask a favour from you.
What?
You've to accept me.
Once you do that,
I will not only help you with Nia.
I will fulfil all your desires.
All your wishes.
Anything you ask with me.
I'm ready.
[Eerie music]
Take my hand and repeat after me.
I, Maddison Wells, accept you...
as my only ghost
I, Maddison Wells,
accept you...
as my only ghost.
It's done now.
Go downstairs.
And... David will give you the address.
[Dramatic music]
[Suspense music]
Jim knows everything.
He helps people.
[Paper rustling]
[Paper rustling]
Yeah.
I got this picture from Safia.
Turn it over.
[Suspense music]
Isn't that your handwriting?
[Folding paper]
Now you need to know the whole story.
It starts the night that Tyrill shot Jim.
[Gun shots]
[Sobs]
Pain isn't fading, Mason.
I, Edward Brown, accept you...
as my only ghost.
I, Edward Brown, accept you...
as my only ghost.
I need something from you.
Anything, Jim.
Anything you need.
I want Tyrill Davis dead.
[Suspense music]
Not that I can't do it myself.
[Door shuts]
Don't run.
What's the point in helping you?
If you won't help me back?
And do exactly as I say.
Sure.
2.30 in the morning.
Grace's room.
Edward's done his part.
Now you have to do yours.
Sure, Jim.
[Camera clicks]
Thank you.
[Dramatic music]
You recognise this picture?
Yeah, I recognise this picture.
Mr. Davis, do you love Nia?
Yes. I love Nia.
Do you think she might be in this position
because of all the wrong
you have done hurting people.
Could you be responsible for Safia
and Nia's pain and suffering?
What? What do you want from me?
Turn it over.
If you feel you are responsible,
now is your chance for redemption.
Don't miss it.
[Suspense music]
Can I please talk with Nia?
Sure.
Hello
Is this Nia?
Yes, this is Nia Thompson.
I'll do whatever you want,
just let her go.
Please let her go. I'll do whatever you
want.
I agree to do anything you want me to do.
Call authorities in half an hour
And it will be done
I am sorry Maddie, but I'll have
to go to Internal Affairs with this.
Sure, you can do that.
Why did you do this
Jim told me to do it
What about your conscience
My conscience?
Let me tell you what I am feeling
about my conscience Parker
I think we are cursed.
You me, everyone.
Prayers don't seem to help
I think ghosts are cursed just like us
Sometimes the only remedy
for a curse is another curse
Prayer can't fix a curse
Do you think prayer is going to help you?
Help you with that stage 3 cancer you got
What?
You've been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.
Am I wrong?
How did you know that?
I haven't told my wife yet.
Nobody knows that
Jim knows and he told me
I'm fed up with this bullshit about Jim.
What are you doing with these cases?
Instigating suicide?
Killing people?
I'm done with all of this.
Parker, take it easy.
You've been cured. Jim cured you.
You think this is a joke or something?
I have the report in
my car right out there.
Go back to the doctor.
Get your blood work done again.
You're clean, Parker.
Clean as a newborn.
Afterwards, if you are grateful,
come and take Jim's hands.
We'll be waiting for you.
Parker, I don't know how to tell you this.
I have never seen anything like
this happen in my entire career.
I've never seen a mistake like
this occur anywhere.
And we sincerely apologize on behalf
of the hospital and everyone involved.
What is it?
Parker, your reports are normal.
You aren't sick.
I don't know how we made
a mistake like this but
we're investigating it internally.
This is a serious matter.
We had 25 reports done
all suggesting serious illness.
And now all of them are normal.
Those are my reports right there?
Yes.
Can I get them back?
Look, Parker, don't sue us, okay?
If you'd like, we can do further tests.
That won't be necessary.
[Dramatic music]
[Poignant music]
[Door closing]
He's waiting for you.
Just up the stairs.
First door to your left.
[Eerie music]
Thank you for helping me, Jim.
Take my hand.
And repeat after me.
I, Jack Parker
I, Jack Parker
I accept you as my only ghost
accept you as my only ghost.
And from this moment on,
my soul belongs to you.
From this moment on,
my soul belongs to you.
And from this moment on,
my soul belongs to you.
And from this point forward,
my soul belongs to you.
Say it.
And from this point on,
my soul belongs to you.
It's done now.
[Dramatic music]
