The Girl with No Name (2024) Movie Script

[suspenseful music]
[gasps]
[woman] Hello?
[woman] Daisy!?
[pounding on door]
They'll find out, even if
it's not on my show!
Please! Anybody?
- Help!
- [banging on door]
- [crackling sound]
- [woman] Help!
[light music]
[light music continues]
[music continues]
[Fiona] Hey, Mom!
[Cecily] Ah, Fiona! Oh, Honey.
Oh, oh. It's been too
long. How are you?
Good.
You look thin. Have
you been eating?
Stop.
Oh, this place looks
great! You've been busy!
- [Cecily] It's nothing.
- [Fiona laughs]
There's my girl!
- Dad!
- Hi sweetie.
[Fiona] Hey!
So good to see you both.
You too.
Hey, Barry. Get
her some iced tea.
Oh, yes ma'am.
[Cecily] It has been 40 years
and he still thinks
the joke is funny.
And it was never funny.
[Mom] Thank you. It was never
funny. Come on, sit down.
Oh it's so good to see you.
Ah, it's so good to be home.
Oh. So where's the party?
At the Holt Vineyard.
Ooh, that's fancy!
[Cecily]
Well, it was your father's idea.
[Fiona laughs]
And you? You sealed the deal.
- Oh, really? How clever of me.
- [Mom] Mm-hmm.
The new owner, Marcus...
He's married to this woman,
Emily from New York City.
She is a big fan
of your radio show.
It's a podcast,
but close enough.
[Cecily] Anyway, she could not
have arranged that venue faster,
so thank you.
[Barry] Hey, did she tell
you about the party?
She did, yeah. I can't wait.
So many old faces to see.
Oh, speaking of, did
you talk to Raphael?
We sent him an invite, Honey,
but honestly,
ever since he retired from
the Sheriff's Department,
he is just kinda
holed himself up
in that cabin out in the woods.
I just wouldn't
hold out much hope.
Well, he'll come. I'm, I'm sure.
I mean, the whole
town will be there.
Who doesn't love the Michelsons?
[laughter]
[big band music playing]
You'll be in my hand.
This way.
You okay, Mom?
Yes, of course.
I've just never been comfortable
being the center of
attention, that's all.
Well, you should,
because you look like
the belle of the ball.
Oh. Oh, look, look.
We'll be back.
- [Fiona] Oh!
- [Daisy exclaims] Fiona!
Oh my God!
Whoa! You look amazing!
Me? You look amazing.
Thank you. I, I just
can't believe you're here.
It's so good to see you.
[Fiona] I'm sorry I've been so
bad about staying in touch.
I've just, I've been so busy.
It's nothing to apologize for.
You created a cultural
phenomenon! I'm so proud of you
The whole town is.
I just got lucky.
Please, girl. Don't be modest.
But what about you?
I mean, you're climbing the
corporate ladder I hear?
Yes, I am the head of
logistics for Holt Vineyards.
Okay!
I think we turned
out pretty well
for some juvenile delinquents.
Right.
[Daisy]
So, are you dating anyone?
Oh, I barely have time to talk
to one of my oldest friends.
Do you think I
have time for that?
[Daisy] Since you're single,
guess who else is here?
[Fiona] Joseph Heller.
Yeah.
I recall you telling me you two
were gonna be together forever.
Yeah. When we were teenagers!
He is single and
ready to mingle.
Okay. But...
With you, right now.
Yeah. Come on.
Dr. Joe.
Daisy.
Fiona. Hi.
You look... It's so
good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
- [Joe] Oh. Oh, yeah.
- [Fiona laughs]
- Yeah.
- [Fiona and Joe laugh]
Okay. I should go and network.
But you two should catch up.
[laughs]
Your mom invited me in case
you thought I was crashing.
Oh, no, of course not.
I'm, I'm glad you're here.
Are you enjoying the party?
Yeah. No, it's great. Yeah.
I'm just glad not to
be working. You know?
[Fiona] You're a doctor.
You save lives. Um, I'm
proud of you, by the way,
you always thought you
didn't have it in you.
You always said I did.
[Emily] Oh my goodness!
You're here!
Oh, you must be Emily Holt.
"Sometimes stories slip
through the cracks
and people get lost
in the darkness.
When they do, we are
there to shine a light.
Welcome to Cold Case
with Fiona Michelson."
Wow.
New season?
When can we expect it?
Listen, we have got to
get you over for lunch.
I have so many more
questions. Are you free?
[clanging]
Apologies. I will be brief.
I know everybody
wants to get back
to enjoying their evening,
but I did want to get up
here and say a few words
in celebration of
40 years of love
between two pillars of our
community, Cecily and Barry.
[applause]
But before I do, I would
like to remind everybody
that we do have a case
of our latest vintage
up for silent auction,
the proceeds of which
will benefit the
sheriff's department.
The sheriff is in the house
tonight. He is watching.
So give generously.
Now, back to the main event.
Barry, between your
tenure as principal
and Cecily's endless
charity work,
the Michelson's have
touched the lives
of every member
of this community.
They've raised a pretty
successful daughter too.
So please join me in raising
a glass in celebration
of Cecily and Barry.
[applause]
[jazz music begins]
Could we catch up later?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.
[jazz music continues]
- [Raphael] Hey kiddo.
- Raphael!
Hi.
Oh, easy now. I'm an old man.
I'm so glad you came.
Well, I couldn't pass
up an opportunity
to catch up with an old friend.
- Aw.
- Come on. Sit.
Oh boy.
You know, I never thanked you.
- Thanked me?
- Yeah.
With all the trouble
I got into as a kid,
you could have thrown
me in a jail cell
back in the day, but you didn't.
Well, I knew you
had a good heart.
I don't mean just that though.
You really encouraged
my curiosity.
You let me look
at old case files,
answered all my dumb questions.
I mean, really, you started my
whole fascination with crime.
I really wouldn't be
where I am without you.
[Raphael] You know, that's
partly why I came down
here tonight.
Do you know about The
Girl with No Name?
Yeah. I stopped at the
memorial on my way in.
Well, tell me what you know.
[Fiona] The remains of a baby
were found
buried outside the town...
Mm-hm, mm-hm.
...but no one could identify
the remains, right?
[Raphael] Mm-hm, I remember the
night the call came in,
nobody ever came forward.
There was no missing persons
report filed. Nothing!
Why are you telling me this?
Well, I was at a
poker game last month.
Bunch of old guys sitting
around talking about old stuff,
and the talk turned to
The Girl with No Name.
Turns out one of the guys
lives near the memorial stone
and he tells me every
year somebody comes
and places fresh flowers the
same month in the spring,
like an anniversary.
I've been thinking
about it ever since.
So, if someone's
doing that every year
and it's the same person,
that means they miss them,
which means they
know them. Right?
[Raphael] Exactly. So I dug
out the old case file
and I think I've
developed some new leads,
but I just don't have
the energy I used to.
So I'm thinking maybe you'd like
to take a look at
this case with me.
Like, get a fresh perspective?
Yeah? Well, when do we start?
Well, I have the whole
file back at the cabin.
Maybe you could swing
by in the morning.
Great. You can
make me breakfast.
[Raphael laughs] Yeah. Well, I
can see that you're excited,
but I have to warn you,
this could get dangerous.
I'm serious.
I don't scare easily.
- Oh, boo!
- [both laugh]
[tense music]
[heavy breathing]
- [crickets chirping]
- [door opens]
[Raphael] Who's there?
You made a bad choice, friend.
I have a gun!
[tense music]
What the heck are
you doing here?
[eerie music]
[Cecily VO] "Out for a run.
Your father made
muffins. Love you."
[light music]
[creepy music]
Raph?
[eerie music]
Raph!?
Raph!?
[eerie music continues]
[gasping] Raph!
[crying and gasping]
[dog barking]
Oh God, please!
Please. Wake up!
[gasping]
[phone ringing]
[Phone Operator] 911.
What's your emergency?
[camera clicking]
Hey, how you holding up?
Um. I'm okay.
Do you have any thoughts
on what happened?
Well, we'll know more when the
ME gets a look at him.
But, um...
What?
[Sheriff] There's no signs of
a physical struggle.
There's no blood,
there's no bruising.
There's nothing like that.
Everybody in town knew
Raph had a bad ticker.
His medicine cabinet's
full of heart meds.
So what are you saying?
Well, to me it just looks
like a burglary going wrong.
There's some desperate
individual
looking for valuables,
and a big enough scare
would've been enough
to give the old
guy a heart attack.
So, so you're saying
that it was just
some random break in?
[Sheriff] No, I'm not saying
someone's not responsible,
and I will do whatever I can
to find that person, I promise.
He meant a lot to me too.
You said you saw
someone running away?
Kind of.
I, um, I heard a noise
in the backyard,
but by the time I looked up,
they were into the tree line.
So...
And why were you here?
Oh, he asked me to come
over to look at an old case.
The Girl with No Name.
Why did he wanna go over
that old case with you?
He just wanted my help.
It was a case that got
away from him and that,
that's what I do.
I, I look at old cases.
But, um...
What is it?
Well, he did say that
it could be dangerous,
that maybe people would prefer
if the truth was kept secret,
so I...
Do you not believe me?
Oh, I believe you.
This Girl with No Name's
a dead end, Fiona.
If someone was trying to
put a stop to that case,
we'd all be goners.
Just about everybody I
know has tried and failed.
Are you gonna be in town
for the next couple of days?
We just may need to ask
you some more questions.
Yeah. Yes, of course.
Whatever you need.
[Sheriff] And what you need
to do is go home
and be with your family.
Let us do our jobs.
If something comes up, we'll
give you a call. All right?
[Fiona sniffles]
[light guitar music]
[car door shuts]
[light music continues]
[door closes]
[softly crying]
[Raphael] Do you know about
The Girl with No Name?
So I'm thinking maybe
you'd like to take a look
at this case with me, like
get a fresh perspective.
But I have to warn you,
this could get dangerous.
[Fiona] I know my life would
not be the same
without Sheriff Kelly,
without his patience,
without his support.
He nurtured my curiosities
and he helped me channel
my sometimes wild energy
into something very meaningful.
And I know he touched a
lot of your lives as well.
I loved him and I will
miss him very, very much.
[Woman] I'm so sorry for your
loss. He was a wonderful man.
[Daisy] Hey.
Hey, Daisy.
Emily and Marcus
send their regards.
I just can't believe it.
He was so good to us.
To you especially.
[Sheriff] Thank you for you
speech, Fiona.
It meant a lot to us.
Any leads?
Not the more than one
I already told you.
And we're still waiting
on a medical examiner's
official report but, all
signs are still pointing
to a botched robbery
and a, a heart attack.
I just can't accept that.
Well, I can attest to
his heart condition.
I prescribed him his meds.
I just wish there was
something I could do.
Then mourn his loss,
and celebrate his life.
I know he wouldn't want
any of us moping around
on his account.
Fi, let's go.
[Cecily] You hungry, Honey?
Want some lunch?
[Fiona] No, I'm fine. Just
going through some old files,
prepping for a new
show. Thanks anyway.
[Cecily] Suit yourself.
[light music]
[Fiona VO] The Girl
With No Name.
No clue at all as to how she
died or who she is.
And who's the woman
who found her?
Vicki Collins?
- [phone clicks]
- [typing on phone]
[line ringing]
[Joseph on phone] Fiona, how
are you holding up?
Hi. I'm okay, I think.
Listen, I have a favor
to ask. Are you free?
Oh!
I'm so sorry I wasn't watching.
- [Joseph] Fiona?
- [Fiona gasps]
Oh, hey, sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.
[Fiona] No, it, it's okay. I'm
just a little paranoid.
I thought someone
was watching me.
Who would be watching you?
Um, I don't know. I've just
been a little on edge
with everything that
happened with Raph.
Oh, speaking of, did you get it?
Um, coroner's report.
As suspected, Raph died
from a heart attack.
I really shouldn't
be sharing this,
but I know how much
he meant to you.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Let's um, let's get
you some water, huh?
[Marcus] No, I told you it's
a package deal.
The vineyard distribution roots
and the convention
and the catering.
Benny, listen, it's
all or nothing.
Okay. Talk to your people and
we'll circle back tomorrow.
You too. [slams
phone on receiver]
Idiot!
Hey, are you okay?
[Marcus] Ugh. I would be if I
didn't have to constantly
explain the deal
to these morons.
They keep wanting
to break things up
and I have to explain to them
that they're buying everything.
It's the whole brand
for God's sake.
Okay. Um, would it help if I
brought in some new business?
I've got some ideas for
expanding our catering outreach.
No, the deal is good. We
just have to close it.
Okay.
[Fiona] Listen.
There was something else I
wanted to talk to you about.
Um. You know The Girl
with No Name, right?
Of course. Yeah. Who doesn't?
So I've been looking
into the police reports
and it looks like there
was a bone sample taken,
but there wasn't
a DNA test done.
Well, probably because
it was a relatively new
science at the time.
My guess is they wouldn't
have the resources to do it.
So could, could you do it now?
What? Why?
Just, is it possible?
I guess so. Yeah. The M.E.
is a good friend of mine.
It would take a few days
to retrieve the sample,
run the test, but it is
possible. Is it for your show?
It's for Raph too.
One of the last things
he asked me to do
was to look into it for him.
And after all he did for me,
it's, it's the least I could do.
I'll get on it this afternoon.
Great.
Listen, um...
since you are gonna
be in town a little longer,
I was thinking maybe
we could grab dinner?
Yeah. Yeah. I'd love that.
Actually. It'd be a
really good distraction.
Oh. But it's my treat to thank
you for, for all your help.
Eh, day after tomorrow?
Yeah. It's a date.
"It's a date."
[Fiona]
When I think of Benton Springs,
I think of sunshine
and peach pies.
This place never got a
bad rep for anything.
Really this is the
closest thing we had.
[Daisy] Hey!
[Fiona] Oh, hey!
I took the afternoon off.
How'd you know I was here?
I ran into Joseph. He told me
you may be headed this way.
So we're pretty close
to the old barn.
Care to have a game?
Serious?
A hundred percent.
[cheers]
Okay!
My money, please.
Okay. I let you win.
Just so you know.
[Fiona] Oh, well I think
you can afford it
with that fancy corporate
job of yours. Right?
Eh, it's not as fancy or as
well-paying as you might think.
Not yet at least.
Logistics sounds pretty fancy.
I basically call venues and
tell them to be patient,
and then call drivers and
tell them to hurry up.
[laughing]
[Fiona] What?
[Daisy] Something wrong?
It's an alert. It says
my current location
is being "shared"?
[Daisy] What is that?
It's a tracker.
What?
A tracker!
You know, you put
these on, on your phone
or your keys if you lose them.
Well, I, I'm being
tracked, Daisy!
[Daisy] You sure? I mean, maybe
you spend so much time
digging into old crimes that
maybe you're seeing something
that's not there?
No, no. Raph warned me.
He said if I looked
into this case
that it would ruffle
some feathers.
God, this is creeping me out!
[Fiona grunts]
I'm so glad our daughter's
home for a few days!
Sorry. Sorry. That
was rude of me.
I don't even know why
I'm looking at it.
There's nothing to read.
What is it?
Oh, it's the old case file
from The Girl with No Name.
There's nothing in it
other than some details
about the woman who found her.
And some weird notes that
Raph made in the margin.
Vicky-something, right?
Collins! But do you know her?
Is she still around?
Yeah. I used to see
her on bowling nights.
Think she lives over
at the trailer park
over by the vineyard.
[Cecily] That trailer park is a
blight on this community.
Wouldn't be surprised if
some of the kids from there
were responsible
for the break-in.
[gloomy music]
Uh, excuse me?
I'm looking for a Vicki Collins.
[Man]
You're looking for who?
Vicki Collins.
She lives on over there.
Oh, okay. Great.
[Man] You take care of
yourself now, kid.
Thank you!
[light music]
Vicki?
Vicki Collins?
Depends who's asking?
I'm Fiona Michelson.
I think you might know
my dad, Barry Michelson?
Oh, he's a bowler.
Yeah, he was good. Yeah.
I ain't been able to keep it up
since I had my hip operation.
[laughs] Um,
do you mind if I ask
you a few questions?
About?
The Girl with No Name?
Are you a cop?
[Fiona] No. I'm a podcast host
about unsolved crimes.
[Vicki] Well, I ain't
committed no crimes.
[Fiona] Oh, no, no. I
never said you did.
Well, I ain't gonna be
on no podcast either.
[Fiona] That's okay. It's, it's,
it's just for my own record,
I promise.
All right.
Well, I can tell you this.
I was walking my dog,
and he got on the
scent something fierce,
and he dragged me off the
road and he started digging.
And before I knew it, well...
it's just a tragedy.
All kinds of
tragedies around here.
Um, do the words "M.H. lawsuit"
mean anything to you?
Who told you about that?
So you do know what it means?
Don't waste your time.
I spent years telling
them about the vineyard,
about Michael Holt,
and about how all...
You know what? I, I don't
feel like talking anymore.
Oh no, please. Well, what
happened at the vineyard,
and how does it connect
to The Girl with No Name?
Lots of bad things
happened at the vineyard.
So please tell me about it.
Mm-mm, no, we're done here.
Okay, just one more question.
I heard some kids from
here might've broken
into Raphael Kelly's
house the other day?
Do you know anything about that?
See, that's why I
don't talk to people,
because they're always
jumping to conclusions.
Anytime a crime
happens in this town,
of course it's always
those awful people
down at the trailer park.
I did not mean it that way...
You didn't mean...? Of
course you meant it!
And what if I had had
something to do with his death?
What are you gonna
do about it anyway?
[Fiona] I am so sorry.
I did not mean to offend you.
[Vicki]
Listen to me Bowler's Daughter,
I yell for help,
and you are definitely not
gonna like who comes running.
You got it?
I'm just trying
to find the truth.
[Vicki] Word of advice.
You might wanna be careful
where you start digging,
'cause you might not
like what you find!
Now, get off my porch!
[tense music]
[suspenseful music]
Mom?! Dad?!
What's the matter, sweetie?
Oh my God! What happened?
I don't know. I just
came home and found this.
Did you hear anything?
No. I'm gonna call the sheriff.
[Fiona] Anything?
Yeah. Yeah.
It looks like they used a ladder
to get up to the second floor.
We found one just below
your bedroom window.
[Barry] Oh, shoot!
I was painting and I had
left the dang thing out.
Well, do you have
any idea who did it?
No. Wanda's still dusting
for prints though,
but it's not looking good.
Do you have any thoughts?
No. I, I don't know.
I mean, between the tracker
earlier and, and this tonight.
I don't know.
Wait, I'm sorry. What tracker?
I found a tracker in
my bag this afternoon.
Oh my God! Fiona,
you have to get...
Mom, please.
Do you still have that tracker?
[Fiona] No. I threw it in the
woods. I know it was stupid.
I just, I panicked.
Yeah. Do you have any idea
who might want to track you?
Someone who doesn't want
me looking into this case?
All right. Well Fiona,
I know I'm not gonna
be able to stop you
and I admire your effort,
but I'm telling you
that case is a dead end.
I'd leave it be.
All right. We'll just
be a few more minutes.
- Yeah.
- Please, Barry...
My God. First a
tracker. Now a break in!
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, I'm, I'm fine.
That kind of thing just
doesn't happen around here.
Yeah. But if someone really
is trying to follow me,
it means I'm on the right track.
I mean, somebody
feels threatened.
Yeah, sorry. I've
gotta take this.
Hi.
[Speaker] I can't
find the password.
There's a post-it in
one of the drawers.
The password is there.
I'll be in shortly.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Sorry.
Just a lot going on
at work right now.
Hey, did you ever hear
much about Michael Holt,
Marcus' father?
Before my time. Why?
Raph made some notes in the
case file about a lawsuit.
Does that ring any bells?
It's all news to me. How do
you think it all connects?
I don't know, but
I'm gonna find out.
I mean, until I get the
results back from the lab,
it's the only lead I have.
"Results from the lab"?
[Fiona] Oh yeah. Joseph was
able to get a sample
from the case file of
The Girl with No Name.
So he's doing DNA tests.
Hmm.
And they never did that before?
Apparently not.
[Daisy] It's wild. Well,
I've got errands.
Enjoy your lunch
at the vineyard.
Love ya.
See you soon.
[soft music]
- [Fiona] Hello!
- [Marcus] Hello!
[Fiona giggling]
Hi! Oh, here.
Fresh from my mother's garden.
She told me to never show
up empty handed, so...
My mother taught
me the same thing.
They're beautiful. Thanks.
These are lovely. Thank you.
Oh, before we go inside,
do you mind if we take a
look around the property?
I'd love to check it
out before it gets dark.
Yeah. I'll give you the tour.
Great!
This way.
[Marcus] So we're obviously
a little off season,
but these vines make
a Malbec so dense
with black cherry and
vanilla and pepper...
Oh! You'll think you've died
and gone to wine Heaven.
I love a good Malbec.
I never realized the
trailer park was so close!
[Marcus]
Yeah. It was initially built
to house workers
for the vineyard.
Unfortunately, I feel like
this ruins the aesthetic a bit.
You know?
Um, what about your offices?
Can I, can I see those?
Sure.
[Marcus] And the big house here
dates back to 1825.
Wow.
But there was a fire in 1845,
which claimed most of the
property with a few exceptions:
this cast iron railing here,
and a few of the
details out front.
Now throughout the house,
you'll see various watercolors.
My father did this one here.
Everybody in the Holt
family is a... is an artist.
But this is the nerve center
where all the boring
stuff happens.
I'm sure it's not that boring!
[giggles]
Cost reports, banking
statements, market updates,
sales projections.
Okay. Maybe it is
a little boring.
Um, do you know a woman
named Vicki Collins?
She, she worked here
20, maybe 30 years ago.
Can't say it rings a bell,
but you gotta keep in mind,
a lot of my childhood was
spent in boarding schools.
Any particular reason?
Oh, it's just something
I'm looking into.
Nothing nefarious, I hope?
She didn't tell me much.
Well, if she's spreading idle
gossip about the vineyard,
I wouldn't pay it much mind.
Oh, this old house can really
inspire the imagination.
Stir up a lot of demons.
I'm starving. Are you hungry?
Yeah, sure.
Let's get lunch.
[eerie music]
Thanks for going to all this
trouble. This is incredible!
Oh, you have to
try this chorizo!
Mm, I get it from this bodega
I love on the upper West side.
You can talk about small
charming towns all you want.
But can they do a
chorizo like Eduardo?
No.
I think not.
It's amazing! [giggles]
Talk to me about Cold Case.
What are you working on?
Anything new? There has to
be something. It's been ages.
Well, I, I am working on
something new, actually.
Might be my most
personal case yet.
Sorry, I just, I have
chills. Do you have chills?
Nothing but chills.
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. No
nuts. I'm allergic.
I told you that.
I'm sorry. I got wrapped
up in the conversation.
So tell me, Fiona,
you ever feel nervous
looking into these old cases?
How so?
Well, I imagine it
might be dangerous
looking into people's pasts,
digging up things that
should remain buried.
Someone might take offense.
But truth is the
most important thing.
Hmm.
That's what Raph
taught me anyway.
To Raph.
- [All] To Raph.
- [glasses clink]
Um, do you have a
bathroom I could use?
Yeah.
Use the one upstairs.
It's much nicer.
[Fiona] Okay, great.
[suspenseful music]
[closes door]
[Daisy] There's a post-it in
one of the drawers.
The password is there.
[suspenseful music continues]
[music intensifies]
[knocks]
Fiona?
- [Fiona] Oh!
- [Marcus] Did you get lost?
I sure did. This
place is a maze.
Yeah. Happens to
me all the time.
Should we get back to lunch?
Sure.
Well, thanks again
for the invite.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
I hope I didn't smother
you with my fandom.
[Fiona] No, not at all.
I just need a few hundred
thousand more people like you
and I'll be great.
We should get going.
Fiona, it's a pleasure.
You're always welcome.
Thanks. Bye!
Okay.
[phone rings]
Hey, we have a problem.
You know what to do.
[Joseph] You know, Fiona, even
though it's been marred
by tragedy, it has been great
having you in town.
Wasn't quite the same
without you here.
Oh, I'm sure you managed
just fine. [giggles]
I do wonder sometimes
how things might have worked
out if you hadn't left.
Yeah. I mean, me too.
It was definitely
the right call,
but being back makes
me realize how much
I miss my family, and
Daisy, and Raphael,
and, um, you.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks. This looks good.
[Fiona] Yeah.
Oh, so you were telling
me about your practice?
Yeah. Um.
Small family practice. Yeah.
I get to help so many people.
I wasn't expecting that
and I love it. You know.
I feel like I have
everything I need,
or just about everything. Um.
- Fiona?
- [Fiona clearing throat]
Are you okay?
Fiona? What's wrong?
Fiona? What, what?
Call an ambulance!
She's, she's going into
anaphylactic shock. Okay. Okay.
-[Fiona] EpiPen,
-[Joseph] Let me look.
Is your EpiPen in
here? I don't see it.
- Okay. Stay with me.
- [Fiona gasping]
You need to calm
down. Calm down.
Okay. And then just
slow your breathing up
as much as you can.
Help is coming, okay?
Where's that ambulance?
You're gonna be
all right. I promise you.
All done.
Thanks.
I really don't understand
how this happened.
I mean, we told them
about the allergy.
And the chef swears they
took every precaution.
This must've been
some kind of mix up.
Thankfully, it was
just a trace amount.
You should be fine in a few
hours. I'm taking you home.
What? What about my car?
You're in no condition to drive.
We'll, we'll figure that
out later. Can you stand up?
Careful.
[Fiona laughs]
Thank you, Dr. Joe.
I still don't know what
happened to my EpiPen.
I always have it in my bag.
You must have... forgotten it?
I don't think so.
Anyway. Heck of a
first date, right?
Well, technically it's
not our first date.
Well, Joe and
Fiona, version 2.0.
"Version 2.0". I like that.
It would go against all
the rules of decorum
if I kissed you
right now, right?
Probably.
So. I'll kiss you.
Goodnight, Dr. Joe.
Goodnight, Fiona.
[nervous laughter]
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Distorted voice] This was
a warning. Stop.
This was warning. Stop.
[Vicki]
Word of advice. You better watch
what you start digging into,
'cause you may not
like what you find.
[Distorted voice] This was
a warning. Stop.
What's wrong?
Stop. Stop.
And get off my porch!
[Distorted voice] Stop.
[gasping]
Fiona, what's wrong?
Nothing. Just, just a nightmare.
Oh, my poor baby!
We should sue that restaurant.
I mean, seriously, if
Joseph hadn't been there,
who knows what could have
happened. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm fine.
[Cecily] Okay. Well good.
'Cause he's here.
What?
Joseph. He's downstairs having
coffee with your father.
Brought your car back.
Joseph! She's up!
Mom!
What?
Well at least give me a robe!
Here.
[Cecily laughs]
Here's our hero now!
Oh, hardly.
So how are you feeling?
[Fiona] Oh, I'm, I'm much
better now. Thank you.
Good, good.
[Cecily] Well, I'll give you
two some privacy.
So are you sure,
you're feeling okay?
Yeah. I mean, as well
as can be expected.
Um, but, could you close the
door? This is important.
[door closes]
What's going on?
I don't think last
night was an accident.
What?
After you dropped
me off last night,
I got a call from
an anonymous number.
It was a warning.
They said to stop
first the tracker,
the, the break in,
and now this?
Look, Fiona, I'm your
friend and your doctor.
So do me a favor.
Call the sheriff
and stay home and rest.
Okay. Fine.
Okay.
I gotta run to work,
but I'll swing back by
and check on you, okay?
Thanks.
[suspenseful music]
[knocking]
[Fiona] I have the evidence.
Years of abuse by Michael Holt!
I believe you!
Good for you.
[Fiona] No, this isn't
going to be enough!
I need witnesses.
I need testimonies.
Look, I spent all
morning trying to contact
the women in these files,
and I couldn't find them.
And the few that I did
refused to take my call.
What happened to them?
Come in.
Thank you.
Well, took guts
coming back here.
I don't scare easily.
Besides I don't see
anger in your eyes.
Well, you don't know me.
[Fiona] Well, I know that you
want to do the right thing,
and I know that people
judge you unfairly.
And it probably has
something to do with
how Michael Holt
discredited you.
Michael Holt was a predator.
He hit on almost every young
woman who came to work for him.
A bunch of us came forward
and he did everything he
could to quiet us down.
First. He tried to pay us off.
And the ones who didn't take
the money, he threatened.
I wouldn't be bought off and
I wouldn't be threatened.
But I really did try
to tell everybody here
what he was like,
and nobody would listen.
So, go on the record.
Tell your story.
[Vicki] No, I am old,
and I'm not gonna put
myself through that again.
Look, just do yourself a favor
and leave this one alone.
Oh, I'm onto something.
People are rattled.
They're... they're
trying to stop me!
I think it connects to
The Girl with No Name,
to Raphael, everything.
How do you know that?
[Fiona] Well, in The Girl with
No Name case file
before he died,
Raphael made a note.
Vineyard MH lawsuit.
So he saw a connection too.
I just haven't been able to put
all the pieces together yet.
Well, you don't need me.
[Fiona]
Yes, I do. I need your voice.
Listen, just, just walk away
before somebody makes you.
Vicki, please.
[Vicki] No, I, you know, I...
I think that we are done,
and I think that
you need to leave.
If I...
[Vicki] I said go.
Now get! Go on!
You know that I said I didn't
see anger in your eyes?
I meant it. All I see is fear.
[door closes]
[tense music]
[Sheriff] Fiona, we've been
looking for you.
What can I do for you, sheriff?
I need to search your car.
[Fiona]
What? Are you serious?
May I?
Well, do I have any
say in the matter?
It'd be a whole lot easier if
you just let me have a look.
[tense music]
Well, Wanda, we're gonna
have to call this one in.
Right by the passenger seat.
No, but that's not mine.
I, I don't even
know what that is.
[Sheriff] We can talk about it
more down at the station.
Get an examination done.
Well, how do I know you
didn't just plant it?
Feel free to review the footage.
[Fiona] What's going on?
Seems like someone's
playing a prank on you.
What?
We got an anonymous tip that
you were trafficking drugs,
and bringing 'em from the city
down there to that trailer park.
We couldn't afford
to ignore that Fiona,
not with your priors.
"My priors"?
I... I was a teenager!
[Wanda] Even still, we had
to follow through,
but we ran a test.
It was just baking powder.
[Fiona] Unbelievable.
Why would someone
do this to you?
I don't know.
Sheriff, why would someone
break into my house?
Why would someone
want to poison me?
Why would someone send me
a threatening phone call
and then plant fake drugs on me?
Based on your department's
banner police work so far,
what do you think?
Am I free to go?
It's nothing personal, Fiona.
We're just doing our jobs.
Right.
[gloomy music]
[Fiona]
My files! They took my evidence!
[Wanda] This is Benton
Spring Sheriff's Department.
If you are having an emergency,
please hang up and dial 911.
If not, leave us a message and
someone will get back to you.
[Wanda] Benton Springs
Sheriff's Department,
Deputy Wanda Clark speaking.
Oh good. Wanda, it's you.
Hi, it's Fiona Michelson.
[Wanda] Miss Michelson,
how can I help you?
I think you have some
things that belong to me.
Um, what exactly?
I was just in lockup and
there's nothing there.
Documents, personal documents.
I, I need them returned.
Well, as I say,
there's nothing there.
Is Sheriff Walker there?
Sheriff Walker actually
hasn't clocked in yet.
He is running a bit late
now that you mention it.
All right, fine.
Well thanks for your
help anyway, Wanda.
[Wanda] Hey, I hope you find
what you're looking for.
And I am sorry about
yesterday, again.
If there's anything that you
need and we can help with,
just let us know.
Right. Thanks.
[knocking]
I already told you, no!
I need you.
Why? Why put a
target on my back?
You said you had evidence.
It was stolen.
By who?
The sheriff! Well, I think,
I don't know for sure.
I feel like I'm going crazy,
but I, I just, I need
you more than ever.
No. Find someone else.
There is nobody else!
Look, I know that there are
other women out there, okay?
We just need one
voice to step forward
and then the rest
will follow. Please!
Vicky, be an example!
I'm sorry kid. I really am. I
just, I'm not strong enough.
[Daisy] You got arrested
and didn't tell me?
I'm onto something, Daisy.
They stole my evidence!
Clearly it was just
a setup for that!
All of my evidence about
the abuse at the vineyard,
it's gone!
It connects to The Girl
with No Name, Daisy.
Fiona, stop it!
Please just stop this!
I'm worried about you. Your
folks are worried about you!
But I have evidence.
Well, I... I had evidence.
Okay, what is it gonna
take for you to stop this?
[Fiona] I have to get into
Marcus's office.
I need access to those
records and you can let me in.
[Daisy scoffs]
[Fiona] Please, Daisy, once I
show you, you will get it!
I know this job is
important to you,
but please, you have to see
what happened to these women.
They were silenced for years.
Some of them had their
lives ruined, Daisy.
Their story deserves to be told.
Fine. Let's go.
[Daisy] So all of the files
that can't fit
into the offices upstairs
get lumped into the storage.
Ugh. You always get
me out of a pinch.
[Daisy] All right, just a
little bit further.
It's just right this way.
[Fiona] Daisy?
Why did the emergency
lights come on?
[struggling]
[dramatic music]
[gasping]
[Fiona] Hello?
Daisy?
[banging on door]
[Fiona] They'll find out,
even if it's not on my show!
Can anybody hear me?
Let me out!
[Daisy] No one can
hear you, Fiona.
Daisy? Daisy, is that
you? Are you okay?
We, we've gotta get outta here.
You didn't give us any choice.
"Us"? What, what, what,
what do you mean "us"?
You should have
just left it alone!
This is my one chance
at happiness and I just...
I can't let you ruin it.
Marcus? You're in
this with Marcus?
He doesn't love Emily
like he loves me.
The only reason
they're still together
is because we're
selling the vineyard.
He's selling the vineyard?
[Daisy] Yes.
And because Holt Vineyards
is a family company,
we cannot have all
the colorful history
that you're so keen on
uncovering coming out.
Emily is never gonna let
you get away with this.
She'll, she'll divorce Marcus.
She'll get half the estate.
No, Marcus has an ironclad
prenup. She gets nothing.
So this was all about money?
No Fi, this isn't about
money. This is my life.
It's my one chance to get
out, and with someone I love.
So what are you
gonna do with me?
Just, just keep me down
here as your prisoner?
People are gonna
come looking for me.
No, we just need
to keep you quiet,
just until the
sale goes through.
And then what? You'll
just let me out?
Marcus has a plan.
Daisy!
Daisy, help me. I'm your friend.
I'm your best friend!
[Daisy] I'm sorry. Fiona.
Daisy! Wait, Daisy!
Hey.
We did what we had to do.
I know, I know. But...
this just feels like too much.
This is more than
the restaurant.
I will talk to Fiona.
Everyone has their
price, even her.
You sure about that?
Positive.
Look, the sale will go
through in a few days,
and when it does, we
will have enough money
to live the life you
always dreamed of.
I could be free of my father's
shadow in this awful business
and everything will be fine.
[tense music]
[Emily] No, I decided to
come back early.
I know. I just couldn't
take another day
of vacuous city fashion parties.
Everyone's so fake.
Now all I wanna
do is take a bath,
a nice bottle of wine.
[Fiona] Help me!
Can anybody hear me?
I'm down here! Please!
Help!
I'm down here!
I'm in the basement!
Hello? Is anybody there?
Daisy can you hear me, please!
Please help me!
[Emily] Fiona? What are you
doing down here?
What's going on?
[Fiona] Are you with them?
With who? Why are
you in the cellar?
Okay. I... I'll
explain everything.
Just, just... I need
you to be quiet. Okay?
So when are you
gonna talk to her?
[Marcus] In time, in time.
Why is Emily's car here?
What!
It can't be true. It just can't.
[Fiona] Emily, I...
I'm sorry, but it is.
[Emily]
Marcus is not like that!
He is a good man. He
would never harm anyone...
[Fiona]
He, he tried to poison me!
He locked me down here,
and I don't think he's
planning on letting me out.
Look, we don't know
what he's capable of.
And we're both
obstacles to him. Okay?
So we need to get
out of here now.
Okay.
[Marcus] Emily! I didn't
realize you were back.
Are are you okay?
Is what she told me true?
I don't know what she told you,
but I realize how
this must look.
Fiona is in the midst
of a deep mania.
Daisy told me about her arrest,
her fantasy about the vineyard,
no evidence, of course.
We have doctors on the way.
We only kept her
down here to ensure
that she wouldn't hurt herself.
He's lying!
So it's not true? About
the things your father did?
About your affair... about
selling the vineyard?
Sweetie, I will never leave you.
[Daisy] Honey! I checked the
bedroom. She's not there.
Are you sure...?
"Honey"?
That is not what it seems.
You couldn't hack it could you?
You couldn't run this
place like your father!
You start to lose money, so
you take the easy way out?
Just sell up and run away?
[Marcus] Emily, you are
not safe with her!
I can handle myself!
[Fiona] Run!
[Marcus and Daisy screaming]
Come on!
[frantic music]
[Fiona] Help!
- Help! Call the police!
- [dog barking]
Is anybody out there?
Come on! Come on!
Somebody!
He's trying to kill us!
Help!
Hurry! Faster!
Come on!
[Emily] I'm gonna stall him!
- [Fiona] What?
- Just go!
[Marcus grunting]
[Emily] Marcus, no!
[fist smacks]
[Fiona] Help! Help!
Somebody, please!
Help!
[Fiona panting]
[screaming]
It didn't have to come to this.
If you hadn't have stuck your
nose where it didn't belong,
everybody would still be happy.
But that's all over now.
[metal impacts]
Come on. Come on.
Let's go. Hurry!
- [Marcus moans]
- [Vicki] This way!
[groaning]
[Fiona] Thank you Vicki. I think
you just saved my life.
[Vicki] Well, I... You know,
I heard the screams
and I saw him chasing you,
and he looked so
much like his father.
It just brought back
all these old emotions.
All the rage.
I had to do something.
Well, thank you.
You're welcome.
So what now? The police?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
I think the sheriff
might be helping them.
I'm not sure we can trust him.
Yeah
But we have to do something.
Emily's in trouble.
What about the
sheriff's Deputy? Wanda?
We can take my truck.
You did what?
[Marcus] I have Emily back at
the house, but Fiona got away.
Now I assume that
you know what to do?
This has gone too far.
[Marcus] You're the one who
came to me, Sheriff.
Your entire department
would be closed right now
if it weren't for
my financial help.
You are in this with us,
and you either help
me finish this,
or we all go down together!
- [tense music]
- [tires rolling]
[engine quits]
- [Fiona] Shoot! There he is.
- [Vicki] Get down!
[buckle clicks]
Go. I'll distract him.
How are you gonna do that?
Don't worry about it.
[Vicki] Sheriff! Sheriff!
- Ms. Collins?
- [Vicki] Yeah!
Hey, you alone?
Yes. Listen, I need your help.
I was just accosted
by a man over there.
We gotta go. You gotta help me
'cause he might leave!
Deputy?
Fiona? I'll get the sheriff.
No, no, no!
I came here to see you.
Okay.
[Fiona]
The whole family is covering up
years of abuse at that vineyard
and I think the
sheriff is involved.
Oh, that's a serious accusation!
[Fiona] I know, but I think
I can prove it.
When I was here the other
day, I had evidence in my bag,
proof that the whole Holt family
has been covering up years
of abuse of staff
by Michael Holt.
The sheriff stole it all!
They're trying to
keep the truth covered
so they can sell the vineyard!
They have tracked me. They,
they, they poisoned me.
They, they kidnapped me, all
to keep the truth hidden.
Please? You have to believe me.
Okay, he has been acting
erratically lately.
A little on edge, but...
How many times has he talked
about a lack of resources?
Do you really think that
Marcus couldn't convince him
to help for a
piece of that sale?
Look, if if he took
the documents from me,
they, they might still be here.
Look, please. We have to hurry.
They have Emily and,
and I don't know what
they'll do to her!
I am putting a lot
on the line here.
I'm telling you
the truth. I swear!
I'll check his office.
Watch the door.
Okay.
[tense music]
[gloomy music]
[Fiona]
If I am right about the files,
then I'm right about
the rest of it.
[Sheriff] Hey Wanda, let's throw
this one in the tank
for filing a false
police report...
Have a seat over there.
[sheriff exhales]
The department was
facing closure.
I was just trying to get
funding to secure our future.
Not like this!
I know.
It went too far.
Sheriff Walker, I need
to ask you something
and I need you to
tell me the truth.
Okay.
Did you have anything to
do with Raphael's death?
I overheard you two talking
at the anniversary party
about this file that Raph
had; The Girl with No Name.
When I told Marcus,
he asked me to go over
there and get it from him.
What the heck are
you doing here?
We need to talk, Raph.
Really? About what?
About that case; The
Girl with No Name.
We didn't talk. We just
argued about that file.
[Raphael]
You need to get outta here, son.
Raph, this is bigger
than both of us!
You need to get your sorry
rear end outta my house, boy!
- [Sheriff] Raph!
- [Raphael] Now!
There's no bargaining
with Raphael.
We had a few choice words
and he threw me out.
When I left I guess it was
too much for him, Fiona,
and he had a heart attack.
Ugh!
[crying] I'm so sorry.
[Wanda] I need to get over
to that vineyard.
Emily might be in trouble
and, um...
Sheriff, I'm gonna need to...
[Sheriff]
I'm not going anywhere.
I made my bed and
I will lie in it.
Deputy, you make this right.
You make it right.
Fiona, come with me.
[sheriff exhales]
[tense music]
[police siren sounds]
Thank goodness you found
her. We were so worried.
She's terribly troubled,
spouting all kinds of
crazy conspiracy theories.
Thank you.
[Wanda] Of course, Mr. Holt. Do
you mind if I take
a look around?
Wanda, now is not a good time!
Yeah, well, unfortunately for
you, I have a rush warrant.
Judge is a friend of mine.
Show me the cellar,
Mr. Holt. Now.
[Fiona] She's here!
I knew you'd come back.
You are under arrest
for false imprisonment.
And that's just for starters.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can, and...
[Daisy]
No, you can't do that!
Hands!
[Daisy]
You don't have the authority!
You wait until Sheriff
Walker finds out about this.
I'm afraid he's preoccupied.
He'll be under investigation
soon by the state
for corruption.
And we have evidence
that you two offered
to pay him a cut of
the vineyard sale
to keep the past abuses hidden?
I just wanted a better life.
I wanted what you had, what
we promised to do together,
to leave town and
start a new adventure.
And everything was going
fine until you got back here!
You ruined everything, Fi!
Daisy. You did that to yourself.
[Daisy sobbing]
All right, you two, let's go.
Let's go!
You okay? Hey.
[uplifting music]
[Cecily] What's
the matter, Honey?
[Fiona]
I just feel like I failed, Mom!
I never solved the mystery
of The Girl with No Name.
I know it's all connected.
I just...
[Dad]
Hey, you helped a lot of women.
Maybe take the
win where you can.
Thanks.
Thank you both of you.
We love you.
[phone ringing]
Oh, it... It's Joseph.
He's helping me look into
The Girl with No Name.
Look into it. How?
Uh, DNA testing.
[Barry] Well, don't
keep him waiting.
Okay.
Hey, Joseph.
Sorry I've been outta touch.
It's, it's been a little...
[Joseph] Listen, I need
to talk to you right away.
Okay. Where are you?
[Joseph] In your driveway.
Oh, okay. I'll be right back.
[Fiona] Hey.
Oh? Oh, whoa, whoa.
I'm, I'm all right.
Wait, so, so what's,
what's the news?
I think you need to
see for yourself.
I crosschecked the results with
all the DNA the police had
when you were a teenager
it was standard practice
to run DNA tests.
I've triple checked. The
results are conclusive.
Fiona, The Girl with No
Name was your older sister.
[dramatic music]
Hey guys. Everything okay?
Where's Mom?
She said she was
gonna go for a run.
I guess she's upstairs
changing. Why?
[Fiona] Mom!
Fiona?
Mom!
Mom. Are you up there?
Mom, we need to talk!
Mom!
Hey, my, my suitcases.
They're gone.
Wait, they had all my tapes.
My, my evidence, my
notes! They're gone!
Will somebody tell me
what the heck's going on?
[Fiona] Dad, The Girl with No
Name. It's Mom's daughter!
My sister!
No.
Yes.
Barry, do you have any idea
where Cecily could have gone?
I, uh...
No, no.
Hey.
I do.
[Fiona] Mom!
[Barry] Cecily,
what are you doing?
Is that gasoline?
Mom, stop! Mom!
I know who The Girl
with No Name is!
I know who she is!
[Cecily crying] Rose!
What?
Her name was Rose.
Mom. It's okay.
I... I just wanna understand.
My family wasn't rich. I
grew up in the trailer park.
When I got a job at the
Vineyard, I was just a teenager.
But Mr. Holt made me feel
like a million bucks.
And he got me pregnant.
And I promised him that
I would keep it a secret.
I moved into the
vineyard. I gave birth.
But after a few days, she died.
Michael told me
it was crib death.
And he promised me,
he swore that he could
make this all go away
if I just kept my mouth shut.
And he gave me enough
money to reinvent myself.
Come back to town a new person.
And I met your father.
And when they found the body,
I knew, I just knew it was
her, but I couldn't bear it.
I just, I had to lock
that part of me away!
And you, you dredged
it all back up!
I overheard you at the party.
I just wanted the file,
to stop this before
it all started again.
And I went to the cabin. I
just went to talk to him.
He was dead when I got there.
And I don't know
what came over me.
I just started tearing
the place apart,
looking for that file.
And then you showed
up and I... I ran away.
That was you?
I have worked so hard to just...
to just be someone in this town.
I couldn't let you get
this story out, Baby.
It would ruin me. It
would ruin our family.
I can't, I can't let
anybody know about this.
I can't, I can't live
this nightmare again!
Mom. Mom! It's okay! It's okay.
You weren't the only
person taken advantage of.
People will understand!
Telling the truth is the
only way we can prevent this
from ever happening again.

[Cecily crying] I'm so, sorry!
I'm so sorry.
Mom!
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
It's okay, mom.
I'm so sorry.
[Fiona VO] Welcome to Cold Case
with Fiona Michelson.
This season, we solve the
mystery of
The Girl with No Name.
There are many twists
and turns in this story.
Intrigue, betrayal, guilt.
But ultimately this
is about family.
My own mother was so
ashamed of her past
that she was ready
to lose everything
in order to keep the
truth buried forever.
The past that haunted her was
facilitated by another family:
the Holts.
Marcus was so keen to
cover up his own sins
that he tracked my every
move, attempted to poison me,
turned me against
my best friend,
and tried to hide the real
truth from the entire town.
[Fiona] So, I have some news!
I know I've been back
and forth into the city
a lot these past few
weeks promoting my show
and I think it's time I decide
to settle down somewhere.
So...
- I'm coming home.
- [Cecily] Oh!
[Barry] Alright! That's what I
was hoping you were gonna say.
Oh, that's great!
[Fiona] I wanna be near
you, Mom and Dad.
I... I really have just
missed you so much.
And Dr. Joe, I think we
have unfinished business
that goes back to high school?
So if you want, I'd really
like to revisit that.
You had me at "Dr. Joe."
[laughing]
Hey, I say we
drink to that, huh?
- [Cecily] Yes.
- [Barry] Should we?
[Fiona] Thanks, Dad.
