Well, hello, sunshine.
12
00:01:19,876 --> 00:01:21,211
Hi.
13
00:01:22,178 --> 00:01:24,178
You gonna tell me
why you're in such a good mood?
14
00:01:24,281 --> 00:01:25,910
- Or do I have to ask?
- Oh, my goodness.
15
00:01:25,916 --> 00:01:27,217
Thank you so much for noticing.
16
00:01:27,683 --> 00:01:29,920
No big deal.
Just, any moment, Robert from HR
17
00:01:30,053 --> 00:01:32,956
is going to walk through these doors
and hand me my very own badge.
18
00:01:33,089 --> 00:01:34,590
You're excited
about your ID badge?
19
00:01:34,723 --> 00:01:36,592
Training wheels
are coming off, buddy.
20
00:01:36,725 --> 00:01:37,725
Mmm. I'm not so sure.
21
00:01:37,793 --> 00:01:39,896
Mmm. I'm pretty sure about that.
22
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:42,299
- First the LAPD mug...
- Actually, that's mine.
23
00:01:42,431 --> 00:01:43,900
And now, my very own badge.
24
00:01:44,034 --> 00:01:46,870
Uh, your vote of confidence
is not lost on me.
25
00:01:47,003 --> 00:01:48,899
But nobody panic,
I don't plan on rooting around
26
00:01:48,905 --> 00:01:50,200
in the evidence locker too much.
27
00:01:50,206 --> 00:01:51,701
Well, that's good,
because your ID badge
28
00:01:51,707 --> 00:01:53,569
does not provide access
to said evidence locker.
29
00:01:53,575 --> 00:01:55,477
- Sure about that?
- Mm-hmm.
30
00:01:55,611 --> 00:01:57,713
Let me get back to you.
Bob. Bob's here.
31
00:01:58,214 --> 00:01:59,448
- Can I call you Bob?
- No.
32
00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:00,984
Sign here, please.
33
00:02:01,117 --> 00:02:03,386
Coming right at me
with the fine print.
34
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,655
That's "Use of service, limitation
of liability, dispute resolution... "
35
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:08,325
You need to sign for the badge.
36
00:02:08,457 --> 00:02:10,693
You know what, Robert?
37
00:02:10,827 --> 00:02:12,395
I will make you a deal, okay?
38
00:02:12,528 --> 00:02:16,933
I won't sign that, but what
I will do is take my badge.
39
00:02:17,067 --> 00:02:18,634
- Yep. There she goes.
- You...
40
00:02:19,169 --> 00:02:20,636
- She can't...
- She did.
41
00:02:35,118 --> 00:02:36,485
You okay?
42
00:02:38,121 --> 00:02:39,555
Yeah, I'm I'm fine.
43
00:02:40,689 --> 00:02:42,658
You ever have one of those days
44
00:02:42,791 --> 00:02:44,687
where you just feel like
you're losing your mind?
45
00:02:44,693 --> 00:02:46,329
Are there other kinds of days?
46
00:02:49,332 --> 00:02:50,400
What's going on?
47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,038
It's my girls. Their father was
supposed to drop them off last night,
48
00:02:55,171 --> 00:02:56,605
but he never showed up.
49
00:02:56,739 --> 00:02:58,174
I call, I text.
50
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,809
I thought maybe
they would be at his house, but
51
00:03:01,643 --> 00:03:03,746
I just wanna know
they're okay. But
52
00:03:04,914 --> 00:03:06,282
But you have a bad feeling?
53
00:03:08,018 --> 00:03:10,719
I thought I'd come in here
and try to get it together
54
00:03:10,854 --> 00:03:12,721
before I talk to the detectives.
55
00:03:13,189 --> 00:03:14,790
And my dad's on his way.
56
00:03:17,726 --> 00:03:19,728
I'm probably
just overreacting, right?
57
00:03:22,032 --> 00:03:23,333
I think
58
00:03:24,666 --> 00:03:27,603
that wherever your girls are,
we're gonna find 'em.
59
00:03:32,108 --> 00:03:34,210
Mia, when's the last time
you saw your daughters?
60
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:36,079
Yesterday,
when Wendell picked them up.
61
00:03:36,212 --> 00:03:37,579
He's my ex-husband.
62
00:03:37,713 --> 00:03:39,516
You should've never agreed
to shared custody
63
00:03:39,648 --> 00:03:41,184
before the divorce
was finalized.
64
00:03:41,317 --> 00:03:42,419
Dad, he's their father.
65
00:03:42,551 --> 00:03:43,920
He has a right to see them.
66
00:03:44,487 --> 00:03:45,987
You guys went camping
at Mount Baldy?
67
00:03:46,056 --> 00:03:48,624
Yes, last summer.
Wendell took us.
68
00:03:48,757 --> 00:03:50,559
That was right before we split.
69
00:03:50,692 --> 00:03:52,262
Was there a reason
for the split?
70
00:03:52,395 --> 00:03:55,025
Wendell started reading about
everything going on with the planet.
71
00:03:55,031 --> 00:03:58,567
The temperatures rising,
icebergs melting. Deforestation.
72
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:02,906
Loss of biodiversity, industrial
waste, ocean acidification.
73
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:04,606
You sound just like him.
74
00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:08,378
Yeah. What Mia is too nice to say
is that Wendell became a radical.
75
00:04:08,511 --> 00:04:09,611
A radical?
76
00:04:09,745 --> 00:04:12,581
Yeah. He became obsessed
with environmentalism.
77
00:04:12,714 --> 00:04:14,631
Look, I'm all for
electric cars and composting,
78
00:04:14,683 --> 00:04:16,920
but you know,
he just took it too far.
79
00:04:17,053 --> 00:04:19,688
He wanted Mia and the girls
to live completely off-grid.
80
00:04:19,822 --> 00:04:23,193
Told Ellie and Paige that
everything was poisoned. Water, food
81
00:04:23,326 --> 00:04:25,829
I mean, these are kids
we're talking about here.
82
00:04:25,962 --> 00:04:27,629
He's not a monster.
83
00:04:27,763 --> 00:04:31,134
The man decided to grow a garden
rather than take care of his own family.
84
00:04:32,535 --> 00:04:34,803
Wendell and I had
a small online business,
85
00:04:34,938 --> 00:04:37,474
but you kinda need to be
on the grid for that.
86
00:04:38,141 --> 00:04:40,477
Thankfully,
my father was able to help.
87
00:04:40,642 --> 00:04:42,011
She moved in with us.
88
00:04:42,145 --> 00:04:44,607
Did Wendell ever talk about
taking the girls out of the city?
89
00:04:44,613 --> 00:04:47,383
All the time.
He bought a cabin out in Upland.
90
00:04:47,517 --> 00:04:50,120
Said he wanted to become
one with nature, live off the land...
91
00:04:50,253 --> 00:04:53,523
Could we stop talking now and
start looking for my granddaughters?
92
00:04:53,655 --> 00:04:56,159
Mr. Ashford,
we cannot put out an Amber Alert
93
00:04:56,292 --> 00:04:58,595
until the girls have been
missing for at least 24 hours.
94
00:04:59,129 --> 00:05:02,265
What we can do is issue
a BOLO for Wendell's car
95
00:05:02,398 --> 00:05:03,799
and we can visit the home.
96
00:05:03,933 --> 00:05:06,236
Mia, do you think there's any
chance he might harm them?
97
00:05:07,370 --> 00:05:10,006
I honestly don't know.
98
00:05:15,545 --> 00:05:18,414
State Department says Wendell
Dunn applied for two minor passports
99
00:05:18,548 --> 00:05:20,550
last month for Ellie and Paige.
100
00:05:20,682 --> 00:05:23,046
If the guy got his dream house in the country
do we really believe he'd leave it behind?
101
00:05:23,052 --> 00:05:25,249
He might've if he thought
he was about to lose custody.
102
00:05:25,255 --> 00:05:27,624
According to this report
from Child Protective Services,
103
00:05:27,756 --> 00:05:30,827
Wendell was found to be unstable
and could be a danger to his daughters.
104
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,097
All right. Call TSA, and check
flight manifests and border crossings.
105
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:36,927
Maybe he wanted to take these
girls out of more than just the city.
106
00:05:36,933 --> 00:05:38,935
- I'll go check his house.
- Don't forget Morgan.
107
00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:40,303
Oh, how could I?
108
00:05:42,005 --> 00:05:45,674
- Can I be totally honest?
- Please.
109
00:05:45,807 --> 00:05:47,644
I've only worked here
for a couple weeks,
110
00:05:48,478 --> 00:05:50,880
but I've studied the people
in this building closely.
111
00:05:51,014 --> 00:05:52,843
I know that pit in your
stomach's not going anywhere
112
00:05:52,849 --> 00:05:53,933
until your girls are back,
113
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:56,785
but I promise you,
you're in good hands.
114
00:06:04,127 --> 00:06:06,663
- Make sure she eats something.
- Of course.
115
00:06:07,696 --> 00:06:09,798
Gillory. Field trip.
116
00:06:09,933 --> 00:06:11,808
We're going
to Wendell Dunn's house.
117
00:06:22,711 --> 00:06:25,781
Well, look at this. Solar
panels, rain barrels, compost bin.
118
00:06:25,915 --> 00:06:28,151
This Wendell guy
really is an eco warrior, huh?
119
00:06:28,685 --> 00:06:30,687
Oh, no. Do you see this?
120
00:06:35,692 --> 00:06:38,151
Ellie was holding this
in one of the pictures I saw.
121
00:06:38,194 --> 00:06:40,824
And it was a professional photo,
which means it's probably her favorite.
122
00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:43,260
So she wouldn't have left it behind
unless she didn't have a choice.
123
00:06:43,266 --> 00:06:45,034
No. She wouldn't.
124
00:06:48,304 --> 00:06:49,305
Hello?
125
00:06:50,373 --> 00:06:51,674
Mr. Dunn?
126
00:06:53,943 --> 00:06:56,179
Detective Karadec, LAPD.
127
00:07:27,377 --> 00:07:29,145
Guy cans his own jam.
128
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:30,647
Who knows what he's capable of?
129
00:07:30,779 --> 00:07:31,813
All clear.
130
00:07:32,382 --> 00:07:33,983
Mr. Dunn must've left
in a hurry, huh?
131
00:07:34,117 --> 00:07:37,287
Maybe. My kids don't love clearing
their plates under any circumstances.
132
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:38,454
Mm-hmm.
133
00:07:42,191 --> 00:07:43,826
A greenhouse.
134
00:07:46,095 --> 00:07:48,998
Well, he's got peppers
and zucchini.
135
00:07:49,132 --> 00:07:51,800
Malabar spinach,
cucamelon, perilla.
136
00:07:51,934 --> 00:07:53,569
I get it.
You know your vegetables.
137
00:07:53,703 --> 00:07:56,472
Most of those are fruits,
thank you very much.
138
00:07:56,606 --> 00:07:57,740
- Ah.
- Elliot went through
139
00:07:57,874 --> 00:07:59,976
a bit of a permaculture phase
last summer.
140
00:08:00,109 --> 00:08:02,139
I'll leave the gardening to
you guys. Not really my thing.
141
00:08:02,145 --> 00:08:03,507
Come on, Morgan,
the clock's ticking.
142
00:08:03,513 --> 00:08:06,015
Wendell planted cucumbers
and tomatoes next to each other?
143
00:08:06,149 --> 00:08:07,941
Are you critiquing
our suspect's garden now?
144
00:08:07,950 --> 00:08:09,909
Cucumbers and tomatoes
are not companion plants.
145
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:12,021
Wendell would never plant them
side by side.
146
00:08:12,155 --> 00:08:13,614
They compete
for the same nutrients,
147
00:08:13,656 --> 00:08:15,531
they have completely
different watering needs.
148
00:08:15,658 --> 00:08:17,860
Which might explain
why they're not thriving.
149
00:08:18,494 --> 00:08:20,663
Okay.
Are you saying that you think
150
00:08:20,797 --> 00:08:24,000
Wendell made a mistake in the
way that he arranged this garden?
151
00:08:25,234 --> 00:08:28,805
No, he wouldn't do that.
You saw how he lives.
152
00:08:33,843 --> 00:08:35,545
These haven't even rooted yet.
153
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,214
What're you saying, Morgan?
154
00:08:38,781 --> 00:08:40,683
I think this space was empty
155
00:08:40,817 --> 00:08:43,480
until Wendell moved all these
plants in here within the last few days.
156
00:08:43,486 --> 00:08:45,148
You just said that
he would never do that.
157
00:08:45,154 --> 00:08:47,890
Yeah, he wouldn't. Unless he
had a reason. Something to hide.
158
00:08:49,492 --> 00:08:50,660
Or someone.
159
00:09:24,961 --> 00:09:26,529
Wendell didn't have anything
to hide.
160
00:09:26,662 --> 00:09:27,797
Someone else did.
161
00:09:28,564 --> 00:09:29,699
Him.
162
00:09:35,338 --> 00:09:37,875
Come on. Sniff. Sniff.
163
00:09:38,641 --> 00:09:40,009
Good boy. Good.
164
00:09:44,869 --> 00:09:46,999
Looks like cause of death was
a blow to the back of the head.
165
00:09:47,005 --> 00:09:48,654
- And that's our murder weapon?
- Indeed.
166
00:09:48,693 --> 00:09:51,495
Medical examiner thinks Wendell
died sometime in the last 12 hours.
167
00:09:52,229 --> 00:09:55,166
Have them rush autopsy and tool
mark analysis just to make sure.
168
00:09:55,299 --> 00:09:56,995
If whoever killed Wendell
kidnapped those girls,
169
00:09:57,001 --> 00:09:58,463
they could be halfway
across the country.
170
00:09:58,469 --> 00:10:00,137
- No sign of the girls anywhere?
- No.
171
00:10:00,271 --> 00:10:02,334
We didn't see disturbed soil
anywhere else on the property,
172
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:03,835
so I think the girls
were taken alive.
173
00:10:03,841 --> 00:10:05,843
And now our primary suspect
is dead.
174
00:10:05,976 --> 00:10:07,011
Mm-hmm.
175
00:10:07,478 --> 00:10:09,062
If the girls saw
their father murdered,
176
00:10:09,146 --> 00:10:11,771
it's possible that the killer's
holding them to keep them quiet.
177
00:10:12,216 --> 00:10:15,152
Or the killer came for the girls
and the dad got in the way.
178
00:10:15,286 --> 00:10:17,188
- Hey.
- Anything door-to-door?
179
00:10:17,321 --> 00:10:19,551
No. The neighbors are too far
to have heard or seen anything.
180
00:10:19,557 --> 00:10:22,093
So, I went to the café
where Wendell sells veggies.
181
00:10:22,226 --> 00:10:24,628
The owner saw him in an
argument with a woman yesterday.
182
00:10:24,763 --> 00:10:26,397
- You got a name?
- Only a description.
183
00:10:26,530 --> 00:10:28,666
She's 30s,
long red hair, glasses.
184
00:10:29,166 --> 00:10:30,736
Maybe Wendell
got a new girlfriend.
185
00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:33,431
I don't know about that. The
guy's still wearing his wedding ring.
186
00:10:33,437 --> 00:10:35,039
Like that ever stopped anybody.
187
00:10:35,172 --> 00:10:36,808
Check this out.
188
00:10:36,941 --> 00:10:39,270
Morgan found this photo hidden
in Wendell's survivalist handbook.
189
00:10:39,276 --> 00:10:40,511
Maybe it's his parents?
190
00:10:40,644 --> 00:10:42,179
- Find out.
- Okay.
191
00:10:42,313 --> 00:10:44,949
I'll see if Mia's family knows a
woman who fits the description.
192
00:10:45,082 --> 00:10:46,150
Hold on.
193
00:10:47,685 --> 00:10:50,688
You put out an Amber Alert
for the girls 30 minutes ago.
194
00:10:51,255 --> 00:10:52,390
I did.
195
00:10:53,023 --> 00:10:54,892
You know all Amber Alerts
go through me.
196
00:10:55,626 --> 00:10:57,728
- Why'd you break protocol?
- Every second counts.
197
00:10:59,263 --> 00:11:01,532
- She's rubbing off on you.
- Who?
198
00:11:02,466 --> 00:11:03,735
Who do you think?
199
00:11:07,938 --> 00:11:08,973
You all right?
200
00:11:10,809 --> 00:11:13,944
"Don't wait for the crisis to
arrive. Assume it's already here.
201
00:11:14,078 --> 00:11:17,515
'Cause what we do by choice
today may be a necessity tomorrow."
202
00:11:17,648 --> 00:11:20,618
That man just wanted his girls
to be prepared for anything.
203
00:11:21,252 --> 00:11:22,882
There's nothing in this book
that can teach you
204
00:11:22,888 --> 00:11:24,321
how to survive
losing your father.
205
00:11:24,455 --> 00:11:26,858
Yeah. There's nothing
that can prepare you for that.
206
00:11:27,591 --> 00:11:29,761
You guys see those
fresh tire tracks out there?
207
00:11:29,895 --> 00:11:32,129
We're trying to determine
the type of vehicle.
208
00:11:32,263 --> 00:11:33,899
Good.
209
00:11:34,031 --> 00:11:36,428
Because if Ellie and Paige were taken
by a stranger and not a family member,
210
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:39,170
their odds of being found alive
just dropped 42%.
211
00:11:47,711 --> 00:11:49,580
Looking at the over-under
212
00:11:49,713 --> 00:11:52,450
Jon Ashford.
Owns Ashford Luxury Estates.
213
00:11:52,583 --> 00:11:54,552
It's a global portfolio
of luxury hotels.
214
00:11:54,685 --> 00:11:56,454
Are we sure
this isn't one of 'em?
215
00:11:56,587 --> 00:11:58,422
No wonder Mia wanted
to move back home.
216
00:11:58,556 --> 00:12:01,486
Well, her father's a very wealthy man.
Which means we can't rule out a ransom.
217
00:12:01,492 --> 00:12:04,295
And he hated Wendell, so we
can't rule him out as a suspect.
218
00:12:04,428 --> 00:12:05,463
Right.
219
00:12:09,967 --> 00:12:11,168
That's too many balconies.
220
00:12:14,472 --> 00:12:16,040
I can't believe that he's dead.
221
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,108
Do you think he was murdered?
222
00:12:18,242 --> 00:12:20,244
We know so.
Sir, we found him this morning.
223
00:12:20,377 --> 00:12:21,512
My condolences.
224
00:12:21,645 --> 00:12:24,114
Wait, if the girls aren't
with him, where are they?
225
00:12:24,248 --> 00:12:27,551
- What does this mean?
- We hope to have more leads soon.
226
00:12:27,685 --> 00:12:29,352
The day he died,
Wendell was seen arguing
227
00:12:29,386 --> 00:12:31,957
with a woman with long
red hair, glasses, in her 30s.
228
00:12:32,423 --> 00:12:33,859
Any idea who that might've been?
229
00:12:33,991 --> 00:12:35,426
I'm sorry, no.
230
00:12:36,227 --> 00:12:37,519
Can you excuse me for a moment?
231
00:12:37,561 --> 00:12:39,396
I'm gonna use your restroom,
if that's okay.
232
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:53,143
You're good.
233
00:12:53,277 --> 00:12:54,913
Thank you.
234
00:12:55,045 --> 00:12:58,015
Mr. and Mrs. Ashford like to
collect expensive things, don't they?
235
00:12:58,148 --> 00:12:59,216
They do.
236
00:13:00,251 --> 00:13:01,652
You know what I think?
237
00:13:03,487 --> 00:13:05,556
I think we should teach them
how to share.
238
00:13:12,630 --> 00:13:14,231
- Just a sip.
- Just a sip.
239
00:13:17,501 --> 00:13:21,372
If you think of anything or hear
from anyone, call me. Day or night.
240
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,408
- We will.
- I'll be in touch when we know more.
241
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:25,676
Thank you.
242
00:13:26,243 --> 00:13:28,212
It's pretty sad
about Wendell, right?
243
00:13:28,345 --> 00:13:29,848
Yeah. He was a sweet man.
244
00:13:29,981 --> 00:13:32,650
Was he? Just not a good father?
245
00:13:32,784 --> 00:13:34,718
Oh, no. He adored those girls.
246
00:13:34,853 --> 00:13:35,954
Really?
247
00:13:36,821 --> 00:13:39,217
Did you know him well? Did
you spend a lot of time with him?
248
00:13:39,223 --> 00:13:40,391
Yeah.
249
00:13:42,059 --> 00:13:45,563
Last weekend he swung by to get
homework Paige forgot in her room.
250
00:13:46,031 --> 00:13:48,900
I went upstairs to get it,
and when I came back down,
251
00:13:49,734 --> 00:13:52,737
I saw him coming out of
Mr. Ashford's office.
252
00:13:52,871 --> 00:13:55,246
- What do you think he was doing in there?
- I don't know.
253
00:13:56,373 --> 00:13:57,876
Let's go.
254
00:13:58,009 --> 00:14:00,005
- The disappearance of the
Ashford sisters -Thank you.
255
00:14:00,011 --> 00:14:02,279
has left the community
in a state of shock.
256
00:14:02,413 --> 00:14:04,910
Well, that was fast. Normally it
takes these anchors longer to catch on.
257
00:14:04,916 --> 00:14:07,484
I called in a favor.
Hopefully it pays off.
258
00:14:07,618 --> 00:14:09,086
Oz. How we doing?
259
00:14:09,821 --> 00:14:11,756
Over a hundred calls
and no credible leads.
260
00:14:12,556 --> 00:14:14,431
So these girls
have been missing for 15 hours,
261
00:14:14,558 --> 00:14:17,094
and all we have is a description
of a red-haired woman
262
00:14:17,227 --> 00:14:19,058
who had a fight
with our victim the day he died?
263
00:14:19,064 --> 00:14:20,331
And she had glasses.
264
00:14:21,365 --> 00:14:22,466
Spectacles.
265
00:14:24,101 --> 00:14:25,770
Where is it? It was right here.
266
00:14:26,403 --> 00:14:28,940
Did someone take my report
from Child Protective Services?
267
00:14:31,542 --> 00:14:32,643
Special K.
268
00:14:32,777 --> 00:14:34,706
- Can we not call me that?
- I don't love it either.
269
00:14:34,712 --> 00:14:37,581
Did you read the CPS report
from Wendell's custody dispute?
270
00:14:37,715 --> 00:14:39,778
None of it's true.
It says he was raising the girls
271
00:14:39,784 --> 00:14:42,453
with dietary deficiencies,
feeding them junk.
272
00:14:42,586 --> 00:14:44,221
You saw that garden.
273
00:14:44,355 --> 00:14:47,086
Ever heard of a parent who wants
to hog all the veggies for themselves?
274
00:14:47,092 --> 00:14:48,459
It doesn't make any sense.
275
00:14:48,592 --> 00:14:51,062
Skip ahead to "insufficient
educational environment."
276
00:14:51,195 --> 00:14:53,364
What was insufficient about it?
Not enough iPads?
277
00:14:53,497 --> 00:14:56,101
If Wendell Dunn was a bad
parent, what does that make me?
278
00:14:56,233 --> 00:14:57,334
Tell me I'm wrong.
279
00:14:58,369 --> 00:14:59,470
You're not wrong.
280
00:15:00,939 --> 00:15:03,474
Wendell never mistreated
those girls. They loved him.
281
00:15:03,607 --> 00:15:06,143
The maid loved him.
I mean, I think I love him.
282
00:15:06,276 --> 00:15:08,026
The only person
who seems to have hated him
283
00:15:08,113 --> 00:15:09,914
was the social worker
who wrote those lies.
284
00:15:10,481 --> 00:15:12,017
Sarah Keller.
285
00:15:13,785 --> 00:15:15,452
- Nice glasses.
- Huh.
286
00:15:16,351 --> 00:15:18,719
The girls have been missing
for over 16 hours
287
00:15:18,853 --> 00:15:20,812
-No suspects or further details
-Ellie and Paige
288
00:15:20,821 --> 00:15:23,492
is doing everything in their
power to find these girls.
289
00:15:23,848 --> 00:15:25,482
Thanks for talking
to us today, Sarah.
290
00:15:25,984 --> 00:15:27,351
Did you hear about Wendell Dunn?
291
00:15:27,484 --> 00:15:29,287
Yeah, it was all over the news.
292
00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:31,156
Do you know
what happened to him?
293
00:15:31,289 --> 00:15:33,919
Well, that's why we're here. You
wrote a pretty severe CPS report on him.
294
00:15:33,925 --> 00:15:34,925
Very severe.
295
00:15:34,993 --> 00:15:37,062
- I'm sorry, who is she?
- Morgan.
296
00:15:39,396 --> 00:15:42,800
My job at CPS is to assess risk
and anticipate incidents
297
00:15:42,934 --> 00:15:45,036
in order to keep all kids
out of harm's way.
298
00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:47,339
I see. That must be
a big responsibility.
299
00:15:47,471 --> 00:15:49,540
Mmm. Very big.
300
00:15:50,774 --> 00:15:51,809
Yeah, it is.
301
00:15:52,643 --> 00:15:54,678
Uh-oh. Oh, boy.
302
00:15:55,213 --> 00:15:58,250
I sure have gotten
a few of these in my day.
303
00:15:58,849 --> 00:16:01,086
Makes it hard not to hate
the mailman, doesn't it?
304
00:16:01,685 --> 00:16:04,555
I also can't help but notice you
and I buy the same dish soap.
305
00:16:04,688 --> 00:16:06,824
Only $2.95 with tax.
306
00:16:06,958 --> 00:16:10,861
And that tells me that you're
short on cash, just like me.
307
00:16:10,996 --> 00:16:15,233
And yet, you were just able
to take a trip to Kauai.
308
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:18,303
What makes you think that?
309
00:16:18,435 --> 00:16:22,207
Well, the lei still has fresh green
berries from the mokihana plant,
310
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:23,540
native to the island.
311
00:16:23,674 --> 00:16:25,371
See, I've only ever been
able to travel there in my mind,
312
00:16:25,377 --> 00:16:27,919
'cause like I just said, I'm
typically pretty broke, you know?
313
00:16:27,979 --> 00:16:29,747
Quick question,
and please feel free
314
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,816
to not answer this one
without an attorney present, um,
315
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:38,756
how comfy are those super soft
slippers at a luxury five-star resort?
316
00:16:39,324 --> 00:16:44,262
Geez, I just I wonder what
the "A" could possibly stand for?
317
00:16:44,996 --> 00:16:47,692
Why did you write all those mean
things about that super sweet dead guy?
318
00:16:47,698 --> 00:16:50,335
Did that rich old man give
you a stay at one of his hotels
319
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:53,238
in exchange for you making his
son-in-law look like a crazy person,
320
00:16:53,371 --> 00:16:55,240
when really
he's just a very loving father
321
00:16:55,373 --> 00:16:59,110
who wanted what was best for
his girls and the entire planet?
322
00:16:59,244 --> 00:17:00,278
Do I need a lawyer?
323
00:17:00,412 --> 00:17:02,646
I mean, yeah.
324
00:17:03,447 --> 00:17:05,683
We know you and Wendell
had an argument yesterday.
325
00:17:07,285 --> 00:17:09,254
Mr. Ashford knows
a lot of people.
326
00:17:09,387 --> 00:17:11,383
If I hadn't done what he said,
I could've lost my job.
327
00:17:11,389 --> 00:17:14,658
And if Wendell had reported you,
you would've lost it too, right?
328
00:17:16,361 --> 00:17:17,828
Oh, you think that I killed him?
329
00:17:17,963 --> 00:17:19,130
Tell us why we shouldn't.
330
00:17:20,497 --> 00:17:21,865
Wendell asked to meet me.
331
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,036
He said he was gonna go public
about what Mr. Ashford did.
332
00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:27,638
I said I would write
a new report, but he refused.
333
00:17:28,173 --> 00:17:31,742
He said that his father-in-law
bought out a lot of people
334
00:17:31,875 --> 00:17:33,111
and that it was time to stop.
335
00:17:33,244 --> 00:17:35,074
Wait, I'm sorry.
So, Mr. Ashford bribed others?
336
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,048
Wendell said he had evidence
to bring him down.
337
00:17:37,182 --> 00:17:39,717
Stop him from destroying
the planet with any more hotels.
338
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:46,257
I tried to change his mind,
but I couldn't. So, I I left.
339
00:17:47,292 --> 00:17:49,961
Uh-huh? Keep using your words.
340
00:17:52,330 --> 00:17:55,699
I told Mr. Ashford
what Wendell was planning to do.
341
00:17:58,502 --> 00:18:01,538
And what exactly did you think
Mr. Ashford would do?
342
00:18:06,277 --> 00:18:08,545
You should be out
looking for Paige and Ellie,
343
00:18:08,679 --> 00:18:09,880
not whatever this is.
344
00:18:10,015 --> 00:18:12,150
He wasn't even here last night.
Tell him, Curtis.
345
00:18:12,283 --> 00:18:14,551
We had to drive to one
of his properties in San Diego.
346
00:18:14,685 --> 00:18:16,154
We weren't back until 10:00.
347
00:18:16,287 --> 00:18:17,688
- How was traffic?
- Bad.
348
00:18:18,256 --> 00:18:19,790
Traffic's always bad.
349
00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:23,977
Do you have one of those
tickets from the toll?
350
00:18:24,062 --> 00:18:25,529
No. Fast pass.
351
00:18:25,662 --> 00:18:28,204
Yeah, write down your make and
model. We'll check the cameras.
352
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:30,695
Or you could
just skip to the truth, Curtis.
353
00:18:30,701 --> 00:18:32,337
Did Mr. Ashford
pressure you to lie?
354
00:18:34,638 --> 00:18:36,174
Curtis.
355
00:18:38,476 --> 00:18:41,578
He did. I don't know where
Mr. Ashford was last night,
356
00:18:42,147 --> 00:18:43,547
but I didn't drive him anywhere.
357
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,288
Jon would never hurt the girls.
358
00:18:50,788 --> 00:18:51,855
Mia, tell him.
359
00:18:54,025 --> 00:18:55,275
Well, we'll keep you informed.
360
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,394
Where is she?
361
00:18:57,195 --> 00:18:58,296
Excuse me.
362
00:19:06,371 --> 00:19:07,972
What are you doing
in Jon's office?
363
00:19:08,106 --> 00:19:09,356
We still gotta find the girls.
364
00:19:09,441 --> 00:19:11,742
The maid told me that
she saw Wendell coming out here.
365
00:19:11,875 --> 00:19:14,645
Look, pink streaks.
366
00:19:19,017 --> 00:19:20,892
Just like the photo
of the couple by the pool.
367
00:19:23,354 --> 00:19:25,957
I don't think Mr. Ashford
would hurt those girls,
368
00:19:26,091 --> 00:19:28,393
but we still need to get him
to tell us where they are.
369
00:19:30,861 --> 00:19:34,132
If you have any actual evidence,
now would be the time, Detective.
370
00:19:34,265 --> 00:19:36,301
Oh, don't worry.
I'm on your schedule, Counsel.
371
00:19:37,668 --> 00:19:39,337
Mr. Ashford,
is this one of your hotels?
372
00:19:39,471 --> 00:19:41,306
Could be. I have quite a few.
373
00:19:41,439 --> 00:19:45,343
Wendell actually printed that up
from the computer in your home office.
374
00:19:45,477 --> 00:19:47,977
By the way, you should consider
replacing your inkjets there.
375
00:19:48,012 --> 00:19:49,846
You see these streaks?
It's like a signature.
376
00:19:49,913 --> 00:19:52,417
If he needs to tag us in, do
you have a signal or something?
377
00:19:52,550 --> 00:19:53,917
Karadec can handle this guy.
378
00:19:54,052 --> 00:19:58,123
-It's not uncommon
-Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
379
00:19:58,256 --> 00:20:00,618
- How's this even relevant?
- You know, none of us could understand
380
00:20:00,624 --> 00:20:04,761
why Wendell had this photo on him
until we zoomed in on the woman here.
381
00:20:04,895 --> 00:20:07,432
We noticed
one of your hotel bags.
382
00:20:09,534 --> 00:20:11,269
Well done.
383
00:20:11,402 --> 00:20:13,764
You've proven that my client's hotels
provide guests with wonderful swag.
384
00:20:13,770 --> 00:20:15,273
We made some calls, actually.
385
00:20:15,406 --> 00:20:17,198
And it turns out
that gentlemen in the photo
386
00:20:17,275 --> 00:20:21,079
was actually a judge on the
San Mateo County Superior Court.
387
00:20:21,212 --> 00:20:23,081
And a few years ago,
he allowed you to build
388
00:20:23,214 --> 00:20:25,617
one of your lovely hotels
in a protected area,
389
00:20:25,749 --> 00:20:29,454
despite complaints from environmental
groups that your hotel would
390
00:20:30,421 --> 00:20:34,459
"have devastating impacts on
the sensitive coastal environment."
391
00:20:34,592 --> 00:20:35,826
Are you sleeping okay?
392
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,861
Yeah. I'm just a little tired.
393
00:20:37,996 --> 00:20:39,538
A few months prior,
believe it or not,
394
00:20:39,631 --> 00:20:42,400
the same judge was
in the Maldives with his wife
395
00:20:42,967 --> 00:20:44,701
at one of your lovely resorts.
396
00:20:44,835 --> 00:20:48,506
Now, I've never really understood the
difference between a hotel or a resort.
397
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,807
And quite honestly,
I don't really care.
398
00:20:50,942 --> 00:20:52,443
But what I do know
399
00:20:52,577 --> 00:20:56,880
is that the judge invited his
entire family to celebrate his 60th.
400
00:20:57,015 --> 00:21:00,051
It's pricey. But I think he
gave you the real gift, didn't he?
401
00:21:00,185 --> 00:21:02,020
I mean, the freedom to do
whatever you wanted
402
00:21:02,153 --> 00:21:03,922
so long as nobody found out.
403
00:21:04,688 --> 00:21:07,192
But Wendell did.
And Wendell had evidence.
404
00:21:07,325 --> 00:21:08,859
And Wendell was going public.
405
00:21:08,993 --> 00:21:11,529
Even if your allegations
were true - Mmm.
406
00:21:11,663 --> 00:21:13,665
Mr. Dunn's unavailable
to testify.
407
00:21:14,199 --> 00:21:15,500
Sarah is.
408
00:21:17,001 --> 00:21:18,902
You remember Sarah, Jon?
Sarah Keller?
409
00:21:19,037 --> 00:21:21,905
The social worker that you pressured?
The one who called to warn you?
410
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,742
And right after,
you texted this number,
411
00:21:25,876 --> 00:21:28,513
"Must speak. Urgent."
412
00:21:29,013 --> 00:21:32,083
Now, that text was sent to a prepaid
phone purchased at a gas station.
413
00:21:32,217 --> 00:21:34,118
Who did you text?
414
00:21:37,222 --> 00:21:39,856
- My client has no further comment.
- I bet.
415
00:21:40,491 --> 00:21:44,095
I think your client pays
guys with prepaid phones
416
00:21:44,728 --> 00:21:47,398
to make problems go away.
417
00:21:47,864 --> 00:21:51,369
And your son-in-law, Wendell, boy, oh,
boy, he was a problem, wasn't he, Jon?
418
00:21:51,502 --> 00:21:54,405
I would never tell anyone
to hurt the girls' father.
419
00:21:54,539 --> 00:21:55,806
Well, that's a relief.
420
00:21:56,474 --> 00:21:59,004
Anyway, if Ellie and Paige
witnessed the murder of their father,
421
00:21:59,010 --> 00:22:00,378
they can identify who did it.
422
00:22:00,511 --> 00:22:02,714
So, I guess I only have
one question for you.
423
00:22:03,681 --> 00:22:06,050
How long do you think
your prepaid phone guy
424
00:22:06,184 --> 00:22:08,720
is willing to risk leaving
your granddaughters alive?
425
00:22:13,157 --> 00:22:16,995
Please, Mr. Ashford,
tell me how to find him.
426
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,468
His name is Eddie Malone.
427
00:22:26,271 --> 00:22:27,972
We have eyes on the suspect.
428
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,682
He's going for his pocket,
he could have a weapon.
429
00:22:31,209 --> 00:22:33,405
It's keys. He was just going
for his keys in his pocket.
430
00:22:33,411 --> 00:22:34,579
We're good. We're good.
431
00:22:38,049 --> 00:22:39,317
Let's move.
432
00:22:43,592 --> 00:22:45,293
LAPD!
433
00:22:47,538 --> 00:22:50,707
Turn around. Eddie Malone, you're
under arrest. Reasonable suspicion.
434
00:22:53,777 --> 00:22:55,372
You have the right
to remain silent.
435
00:22:55,378 --> 00:22:56,513
Anything you say
436
00:23:16,661 --> 00:23:19,664
So, Eddie admits that Mr. Ashford
paid him to keep Wendell quiet.
437
00:23:19,798 --> 00:23:21,594
But he insists that
when he got to Wendell's house,
438
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,168
he saw Mia arguing
with him and left.
439
00:23:23,301 --> 00:23:25,537
Mia never mentioned
she saw Wendell the day he died.
440
00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:27,333
No, but if she knew
Wendell was going public
441
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:29,798
with information that would ruin
her father, she had motive.
442
00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:32,310
What? Motive to what?
443
00:23:32,444 --> 00:23:34,212
Kill her ex-husband?
444
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:37,773
Please tell me you're not
taking this man's word
445
00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:40,552
over a mother of two who's
desperate to find her girls.
446
00:23:40,685 --> 00:23:42,187
We need to consider all options.
447
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,189
That's how we get
Paige and Ellie home.
448
00:23:44,322 --> 00:23:47,859
Okay. But, this is a guy you call when
you need "things cleaned up," right?
449
00:23:47,993 --> 00:23:49,127
We can't trust him.
450
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:51,220
You're right. And I can see him
killing Wendell.
451
00:23:51,229 --> 00:23:53,598
But planting rows of potatoes
over his body?
452
00:23:53,732 --> 00:23:55,800
They were tomatoes.
Any why not? I can picture it.
453
00:23:57,636 --> 00:24:00,886
The fresh tire track at Wendell's house
turned out to be a match for Mia's car.
454
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:04,566
- Since when?
- We got a text from Oz about an hour ago.
455
00:24:04,676 --> 00:24:06,344
But Mia wasn't
a suspect at the time, so
456
00:24:07,979 --> 00:24:09,180
What? And she is now?
457
00:24:09,314 --> 00:24:12,049
Come on, you guys, what
Use your imaginations.
458
00:24:12,183 --> 00:24:16,154
She could've swung by to grab
some rutabagas or the girls' homework.
459
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:19,925
Or, you know, they're trying to
iron out the details of a nasty divorce.
460
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:24,663
-No
-Get this.
461
00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:27,899
Mia Ashford withdrew a hundred grand
just before the bank's close today.
462
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:30,663
I had a unit swing by her parents'
house, but they don't know where she is.
463
00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:33,905
Okay, why don't we just call the
woman and ask her to explain herself?
464
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,142
- She's in your phone?
- Well, yeah. She was upset. We talked.
465
00:24:37,275 --> 00:24:38,343
Exchanged numbers.
466
00:24:38,476 --> 00:24:40,345
This is Mia.
Please leave a message.
467
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:44,249
Okay. Listen to me.
Are you seriously saying
468
00:24:44,382 --> 00:24:48,053
that you think Mia killed her
ex-husband and kidnapped her own kids?
469
00:24:48,186 --> 00:24:50,087
I'm saying we can't rule it out.
470
00:24:50,622 --> 00:24:52,706
- Parental abductions happen.
- Yeah, they sure do.
471
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:55,721
And if the girls are with their mother,
at least we know they're not in danger.
472
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:57,362
That's great. That's great.
473
00:24:57,495 --> 00:24:59,197
So, the one thing
that we do agree on
474
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:02,233
is that the woman is not planning
on murdering her own two children.
475
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:03,401
That's so great.
476
00:25:03,535 --> 00:25:05,270
It feels so great
to be on the same page.
477
00:25:05,403 --> 00:25:08,267
She might be keeping the girls quiet
if they witnessed Mia kill their father.
478
00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:10,008
- Oh, my God.
- Look, look, it's late.
479
00:25:10,141 --> 00:25:11,743
There's nothing more
we can do tonight.
480
00:25:11,876 --> 00:25:15,080
I want you all to go home and get
some rest but leave your phones on.
481
00:25:15,213 --> 00:25:17,749
Should another lead come up,
we're right back here.
482
00:25:17,882 --> 00:25:19,966
In the meantime, our friend
Eddie spends the night.
483
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:23,655
And, Daphne, move Mia's photo over
to the suspects side of the case board.
484
00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:25,790
- Oh, my God.
- We need to find her.
485
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:28,193
Until she gives us answers,
we consider her a suspect.
486
00:25:28,326 --> 00:25:30,096
You cannot be serious.
487
00:25:30,228 --> 00:25:31,963
This is so stupid.
488
00:25:32,098 --> 00:25:34,460
Morgan, no one is saying you're wrong,
but you have to understand that the...
489
00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:36,334
I understand this woman!
490
00:25:36,801 --> 00:25:38,336
She's terrified.
491
00:25:38,803 --> 00:25:40,338
She doesn't know
where her kids are.
492
00:25:41,906 --> 00:25:43,975
And I promised her
that she could trust us.
493
00:25:54,686 --> 00:25:56,621
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
494
00:25:58,189 --> 00:26:00,619
The lab is still testing the van
for evidence. Maybe they'll find...
495
00:26:00,625 --> 00:26:02,750
You and I both know
they're not gonna find anything.
496
00:26:02,761 --> 00:26:05,330
That's what Eddie does,
he cleans up, remember?
497
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:08,299
Do I need to explain to you
how enzyme-based cleaners
498
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:09,767
break down
the proteins in blood?
499
00:26:09,834 --> 00:26:11,536
You heard Soto, right, Morgan?
500
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:14,239
She said we all need to go
get some rest, especially you.
501
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:18,677
Yeah, gosh. Everyone's got
such great advice.
502
00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:21,680
Let me tell you something,
I didn't rest for the 27 hours
503
00:26:21,813 --> 00:26:24,110
leading up to finding out that
two little girls were kidnapped.
504
00:26:24,116 --> 00:26:25,684
Wait, what? Are you serious...
505
00:26:25,817 --> 00:26:27,713
So, I'm not sure
what you think is gonna happen
506
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:29,587
when I lay my head down
on my pillow tonight,
507
00:26:29,721 --> 00:26:31,517
knowing that Ellie and Paige
are still out there.
508
00:26:31,523 --> 00:26:35,226
You think I'm gonna just drift
right off to sweet slumberland?
509
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:36,695
Maybe recharge my batteries?
510
00:26:36,828 --> 00:26:39,330
I can guarantee you,
there'll be no resting.
511
00:26:40,331 --> 00:26:42,333
You told Mia she could trust us.
512
00:26:43,169 --> 00:26:45,870
But, maybe,
just maybe, we can't trust her.
513
00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:48,930
Either way, you and I are
on the same team here, Morgan.
514
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:57,530
It has now been over 24 hours
since the Ashford sisters were last seen.
515
00:26:57,582 --> 00:26:59,517
- Hey, Mama.
- Hi.
516
00:26:59,651 --> 00:27:01,386
- Thanks for staying late.
- Yeah.
517
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:02,854
How's everybody here?
518
00:27:02,987 --> 00:27:03,988
We're doing great.
519
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:05,924
We got some
leftover pizza for ya.
520
00:27:06,057 --> 00:27:08,188
I'm gonna put this little lady
down before I head out.
521
00:27:08,194 --> 00:27:09,227
Good night.
522
00:27:11,429 --> 00:27:13,093
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
No, don't throw that away.
523
00:27:13,099 --> 00:27:14,699
You save that for the compost.
524
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:16,168
What compost?
525
00:27:16,301 --> 00:27:18,970
The compost we're getting
tomorrow. We're getting a compost.
526
00:27:19,537 --> 00:27:21,167
What am I supposed to do
with this until then?
527
00:27:21,173 --> 00:27:22,257
Just, like, hang on to it?
528
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:24,542
Yeah, hang on to it.
Come here first.
529
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:32,218
- Mom?
- Yeah.
530
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:33,885
You okay?
531
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:36,788
Yes. I'm better now.
532
00:27:44,763 --> 00:27:46,464
- I've seen enough.
- I love you.
533
00:27:46,598 --> 00:27:47,632
Love you too.
534
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:51,293
Have you been
on that thing all day?
535
00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:54,038
I'm watching an eight-part
docuseries on CRISPR technology.
536
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:55,473
Well, that's a lot of parts.
537
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:57,566
Why don't you do four tonight
and four tomorrow?
538
00:27:57,609 --> 00:27:59,010
But I am already on part seven.
539
00:27:59,145 --> 00:28:01,270
All right. Move it away
from your face a little bit.
540
00:28:01,412 --> 00:28:04,076
And when you're done, I want an essay
on both the science and the ethics.
541
00:28:04,082 --> 00:28:05,117
- Okay.
- Okay?
542
00:28:08,419 --> 00:28:09,621
- Love you, buddy.
- Night.
543
00:28:10,388 --> 00:28:11,823
You know how to clear a room.
544
00:28:11,956 --> 00:28:13,159
Everything okay?
545
00:28:14,826 --> 00:28:17,090
There's just things that we
care about that we shouldn't
546
00:28:17,096 --> 00:28:19,180
and things that we don't care
about that we should.
547
00:28:19,231 --> 00:28:20,959
And we really oughta figure out
which is which,
548
00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:23,549
because I would love to have a
world for my kids to grow up in.
549
00:28:23,968 --> 00:28:25,970
Uh-huh. Cold or microwaved?
550
00:28:26,105 --> 00:28:27,173
I don't know.
551
00:28:27,305 --> 00:28:28,514
I'm sorry. No more questions.
552
00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:30,002
I'm sure you have enough
in your head already.
553
00:28:30,008 --> 00:28:31,009
I'm so... I'm sorry.
554
00:28:31,143 --> 00:28:32,644
It's not you.
You're great. I just
555
00:28:33,112 --> 00:28:35,541
My brain just wouldn't work
today and I really needed it to.
556
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:39,484
Hey, you with half a brain beats
the rest of us on our best day.
557
00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:42,288
Those little girls deserve
to have it be my best day.
558
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:45,957
The girls were last seen
yesterday afternoon around 3:00 p.m.,
559
00:28:46,090 --> 00:28:47,992
where neighbors
reported seeing the girls
560
00:28:48,127 --> 00:28:50,028
There was nothing
in the spotlight.
561
00:28:50,162 --> 00:28:51,796
Someone moved that Buddha. Why?
562
00:28:52,664 --> 00:28:55,600
They moved the Buddha 'cause
they wanted to open the cabinets.
563
00:28:55,733 --> 00:28:57,317
But nothing looked like
it was missing.
564
00:28:58,736 --> 00:29:01,173
Nothing was missing,
so something was switched.
565
00:29:01,307 --> 00:29:02,707
Do you see?
566
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:04,642
Something was switched.
567
00:29:06,212 --> 00:29:07,313
Pizza to go, then.
568
00:29:14,719 --> 00:29:16,421
- We're closed.
- Don't look like it.
569
00:29:16,554 --> 00:29:18,224
How did you know I'd be here?
570
00:29:18,356 --> 00:29:22,194
Well, Google tells me that this
guy is an expert in Chinese antiques,
571
00:29:22,328 --> 00:29:23,962
and your mom loves China.
572
00:29:24,096 --> 00:29:26,859
Honestly, I think your family is
hogging all the books on the subject.
573
00:29:26,865 --> 00:29:30,202
So tell me, am I correct that the
Ming in your parents' house is a fake?
574
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:33,438
Because it had a little boy
playing Colin-Maillard on it.
575
00:29:33,571 --> 00:29:35,868
And that wouldn't exactly be
historically accurate, would it?
576
00:29:35,874 --> 00:29:37,636
- Well...
- No, it's not because Colin-Maillard
577
00:29:37,642 --> 00:29:38,976
became a hit
in the 16th century.
578
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:41,180
So little boys wouldn't be
playing it in the Ming.
579
00:29:41,313 --> 00:29:43,148
You know what?
It doesn't matter.
580
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:45,611
That's not the point. The point is the
Ming at your parents' house is not real
581
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:48,220
because you put a fake in there
to replace the real one,
582
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:51,190
which is right here.
583
00:29:54,692 --> 00:29:56,060
Right?
584
00:29:56,527 --> 00:29:58,897
So tell me, Mia,
why do you need so much cash?
585
00:30:00,665 --> 00:30:01,933
None of your business.
586
00:30:04,169 --> 00:30:06,272
Could you give us the room,
please?
587
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:12,344
The police should be out there
finding you daughters,
588
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:14,280
not running all over town
looking for you.
589
00:30:14,445 --> 00:30:15,507
I can't speak to the police!
590
00:30:15,513 --> 00:30:17,081
Well, great! I'm not the police.
591
00:30:20,219 --> 00:30:22,248
A man called me saying
that he had Paige and Ellie,
592
00:30:22,254 --> 00:30:24,390
and if I don't give him
200 grand by tonight
593
00:30:24,522 --> 00:30:25,957
that they'll end up
like Wendell.
594
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:28,693
I could only withdraw
half from the bank, so
595
00:30:28,826 --> 00:30:31,297
Mia, we have to call the police.
This is not...
596
00:30:31,429 --> 00:30:34,346
No, no, no. If I call the police,
he'll kill them. That's what he said.
597
00:30:34,465 --> 00:30:35,500
Please.
598
00:30:36,834 --> 00:30:38,730
That's why I couldn't go
to my parents for the money.
599
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:41,140
Because I knew
they would start making calls.
600
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:45,377
Why didn't you tell me
you saw Wendell before he died?
601
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:47,979
I couldn't tell anyone.
602
00:30:48,113 --> 00:30:50,115
Not without sending
my father to jail.
603
00:30:50,249 --> 00:30:53,952
I only went to Wendell's to
beg him not to report my father,
604
00:30:54,085 --> 00:30:56,121
but he wouldn't listen,
so I went home.
605
00:30:56,255 --> 00:30:57,889
Look, my father is a flawed man,
606
00:30:58,022 --> 00:31:00,225
but he's always been there
for me and the girls.
607
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:01,393
I'm sorry.
608
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:04,829
When is the meet?
609
00:31:05,630 --> 00:31:06,864
Tonight at midnight.
610
00:31:06,998 --> 00:31:09,201
He's texted a location.
611
00:31:10,102 --> 00:31:14,139
Please believe me. I have
no idea who kidnapped my daughters.
612
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:16,774
I'm going with you.
613
00:31:17,309 --> 00:31:18,603
Are you sure that's a good idea?
614
00:31:18,609 --> 00:31:20,112
No, I have no idea.
615
00:31:20,245 --> 00:31:22,680
What I do know is that I'm
not gonna let you do this alone.
616
00:31:29,849 --> 00:31:30,984
I know you're scared.
617
00:31:31,684 --> 00:31:32,986
We got this.
618
00:31:35,423 --> 00:31:37,985
Mia, step out of the car, please.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
619
00:31:37,991 --> 00:31:39,592
- Please. My girls.
- Thank you.
620
00:31:39,726 --> 00:31:41,423
Wait, wait, wait. Hang on,
hang on. Let me explain.
621
00:31:41,429 --> 00:31:43,458
We're gonna go down to the
station, handle this the right way.
622
00:31:43,464 --> 00:31:44,881
Stop.
You need to trust each other.
623
00:31:44,998 --> 00:31:47,123
- You called the cops?
- No, I didn't. I called him.
624
00:31:47,201 --> 00:31:48,335
- Why?
- Because
625
00:31:48,469 --> 00:31:50,737
if these were my kids,
I would want him here.
626
00:31:54,607 --> 00:31:56,103
- She needs to take that.
- No, she doesn't.
627
00:31:56,109 --> 00:31:57,677
Karadec, this is a ransom.
628
00:31:57,811 --> 00:31:59,895
If I don't pay this guy,
my girls will die. Please.
629
00:32:01,047 --> 00:32:02,047
Speakerphone.
630
00:32:05,386 --> 00:32:07,254
- Hello?
- I hope you're alone.
631
00:32:07,388 --> 00:32:08,955
- I am.
- And you brought the money?
632
00:32:09,089 --> 00:32:10,790
Yes. Now where are my daughters?
633
00:32:10,924 --> 00:32:12,326
I'll text you the location.
634
00:32:12,460 --> 00:32:14,627
- Be there in five minutes or they die.
- Okay.
635
00:32:18,165 --> 00:32:19,833
- I have to go.
- No, you don't.
636
00:32:19,966 --> 00:32:22,096
As long as you don't give the man
what he wants, your girls are safe.
637
00:32:22,102 --> 00:32:24,352
- He said five minutes!
- It's too soon. I need backup.
638
00:32:24,405 --> 00:32:26,673
Karadec, they'd never
make it here in time.
639
00:32:26,806 --> 00:32:28,342
Please.
640
00:32:32,546 --> 00:32:33,713
Morgan, give her your phone.
641
00:32:34,215 --> 00:32:35,249
What is he doing?
642
00:32:38,718 --> 00:32:40,086
Answer it.
643
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:42,912
Okay. Keep that in your pocket
so I can hear everything.
644
00:32:42,956 --> 00:32:44,748
- If anything happens, I'll step in.
- Okay.
645
00:32:44,858 --> 00:32:45,858
Let's go.
646
00:32:45,925 --> 00:32:47,727
Morgan, stay here.
647
00:32:57,937 --> 00:32:58,972
Yes.
648
00:32:59,706 --> 00:33:01,123
Keep walking.
649
00:33:01,708 --> 00:33:02,742
Okay.
650
00:33:04,110 --> 00:33:05,312
Go to the auditorium.
651
00:33:12,586 --> 00:33:14,555
- Where are you?
- See the door on your right?
652
00:33:14,687 --> 00:33:15,722
Yes.
653
00:33:16,223 --> 00:33:17,258
Go inside.
654
00:33:34,508 --> 00:33:35,708
Now what?
655
00:33:35,842 --> 00:33:37,444
Hook the bag.
656
00:33:45,118 --> 00:33:46,819
Let me talk
to my girls first.
657
00:33:46,953 --> 00:33:49,523
Do exactly as I tell you, and
everything will be all right.
658
00:34:05,138 --> 00:34:06,173
Where are they?
659
00:34:07,874 --> 00:34:09,075
Are they with you?
660
00:34:11,545 --> 00:34:12,680
Paige!
661
00:34:13,247 --> 00:34:15,549
Ellie, where are you?
662
00:34:17,850 --> 00:34:19,253
Stop! LAPD!
663
00:34:29,530 --> 00:34:30,897
Stop! LAPD!
664
00:34:38,972 --> 00:34:40,474
Damn it.
665
00:34:41,408 --> 00:34:43,142
- What's going on?
- He's gone!
666
00:34:43,711 --> 00:34:44,911
- They're gone!
- What?
667
00:34:46,012 --> 00:34:47,648
I put a car tracker
in the money bag.
668
00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:48,781
Come on.
669
00:34:51,585 --> 00:34:52,620
Turn right here!
670
00:34:55,222 --> 00:34:57,790
- Oh, no.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
671
00:34:57,924 --> 00:35:00,760
Ellie. Paige.
My girls! Open the trunk!
672
00:35:00,893 --> 00:35:03,564
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
673
00:35:03,697 --> 00:35:04,797
Wait! Wait!
674
00:35:05,765 --> 00:35:08,134
Oh, my God!
675
00:35:09,570 --> 00:35:10,870
Oh, my God!
676
00:35:11,838 --> 00:35:13,407
Open it!
677
00:35:15,108 --> 00:35:16,477
It's okay! It's okay.
678
00:35:17,311 --> 00:35:18,345
They're not in there.
679
00:35:22,283 --> 00:35:23,517
It's okay.
680
00:35:33,527 --> 00:35:35,663
- It's not her fault.
- No?
681
00:35:36,463 --> 00:35:37,997
- It was my call.
- Uh-huh.
682
00:35:49,243 --> 00:35:51,278
Who are you,
you short son of a bitch?
683
00:36:00,721 --> 00:36:01,789
Come on.
684
00:36:01,921 --> 00:36:02,955
Think.
685
00:36:08,828 --> 00:36:12,999
made a $500 bet on both
teams that were trailing by 21
686
00:36:14,067 --> 00:36:16,537
- Boston's favored by
four points -Oh, my God.
687
00:36:23,142 --> 00:36:24,345
I know who took the girls.
688
00:36:27,993 --> 00:36:29,889
When I first saw him
parked outside, I was like,
689
00:36:29,895 --> 00:36:32,479
"Why would he park under that
tree? It doesn't make any sense."
690
00:36:32,498 --> 00:36:35,128
The birds and the leaves. Cleanup
of the car would be a nightmare.
691
00:36:35,134 --> 00:36:38,037
And then I realized he's
parked there because he can see
692
00:36:38,169 --> 00:36:40,539
inside Mia's bedroom window
from the mirror.
693
00:36:40,673 --> 00:36:42,508
Curtis is in love with Mia.
694
00:36:42,641 --> 00:36:44,308
Now when he couldn't win big
at gambling,
695
00:36:44,342 --> 00:36:46,411
he figured, why not give
the ransom game a try?
696
00:36:46,545 --> 00:36:47,774
Because he was gonna need money
697
00:36:47,780 --> 00:36:49,609
if he wanted to sweep
an Ashford off her feet.
698
00:36:49,615 --> 00:36:52,551
So he planned to kidnap the girls
to get the money to win her hand.
699
00:36:52,685 --> 00:36:55,380
And was the knight in shining armor
for Mia during the most traumatic day
700
00:36:55,386 --> 00:36:57,489
of her life to win her heart.
But how?
701
00:36:58,023 --> 00:36:59,892
We were so focused
on Jon's fake alibi,
702
00:37:00,025 --> 00:37:02,393
but it was really Curtis
who was hiding behind it.
703
00:37:02,528 --> 00:37:04,791
He must've showed up to
Wendell's in the middle of dinner,
704
00:37:04,797 --> 00:37:06,693
got into a fight in the
greenhouse, where he killed him,
705
00:37:06,699 --> 00:37:09,735
buried the body, then came
back inside to take the girls.
706
00:37:11,136 --> 00:37:12,671
Wendell didn't deserve Mia.
707
00:37:14,205 --> 00:37:16,675
The horrible farm
that he forced her to live on,
708
00:37:16,809 --> 00:37:20,746
and then the custody dispute,
and now her father's in prison? I
709
00:37:22,681 --> 00:37:24,282
I couldn't let him
hurt my family.
710
00:37:24,415 --> 00:37:25,784
So you loved Mia?
711
00:37:26,485 --> 00:37:29,048
That's why you killed Wendell. And
that's why you kidnapped Mia's girls.
712
00:37:29,054 --> 00:37:30,589
No. I was gonna bring
the girls back.
713
00:37:30,723 --> 00:37:32,524
And play the hero?
Was that your big plan?
714
00:37:32,658 --> 00:37:34,053
You wanted to stage
a dramatic rescue?
715
00:37:34,059 --> 00:37:36,595
- Tell me where they are!
- I don't know where they are!
716
00:37:36,729 --> 00:37:39,363
All right. Curtis, listen to me.
717
00:37:39,498 --> 00:37:41,567
It's not too late
for you to do the right thing.
718
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:44,937
Just tell me
where you took Ellie and Paige.
719
00:37:45,504 --> 00:37:48,306
If they're really family to you,
then let's bring them home safe.
720
00:37:50,274 --> 00:37:52,376
He took them
to the San Gabriel Mountains.
721
00:37:52,511 --> 00:37:55,114
He said they ran off this
morning, and he couldn't find them.
722
00:37:55,246 --> 00:37:56,615
San Gabriels are huge.
723
00:37:57,381 --> 00:37:58,751
970 square miles
724
00:37:58,884 --> 00:38:01,553
with a range and elevation
spanning 8,500 feet,
725
00:38:01,687 --> 00:38:03,188
and they've been out there
for hours.
726
00:38:03,321 --> 00:38:07,391
Call Search and Rescue. I want
aerial support and EMS on site.
727
00:38:07,526 --> 00:38:08,560
Got it.
728
00:38:11,597 --> 00:38:13,056
- Paige!
- Ellie!
729
00:38:13,766 --> 00:38:15,801
- Ellie!
- Paige!
730
00:38:16,267 --> 00:38:19,238
- Rule number one: when lost, go north.
- How would the girls know that?
731
00:38:19,370 --> 00:38:20,733
The book says
you have three options.
732
00:38:20,739 --> 00:38:22,508
Moss, sun or migratory birds.
733
00:38:22,641 --> 00:38:24,943
- Moss?
- Paige! Can you hear us?
734
00:38:25,077 --> 00:38:26,452
- Paige!
- Ellie!
735
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,782
- Ellie!
- Paige!
736
00:38:29,915 --> 00:38:30,915
Ellie!
737
00:38:32,618 --> 00:38:34,827
- Ellie!
- We're here to help!
738
00:38:34,887 --> 00:38:37,388
- Paige!
- Call out if you can hear us!
739
00:38:37,856 --> 00:38:38,957
Walnut shells.
740
00:38:43,128 --> 00:38:46,064
Rule number two:
feed off forest resources.
741
00:38:47,533 --> 00:38:48,634
Ellie!
742
00:38:49,601 --> 00:38:50,702
Paige!
743
00:38:53,906 --> 00:38:56,708
- Paige!
- Girls, can you hear us?
744
00:38:56,842 --> 00:38:58,143
Rule number three:
745
00:38:58,277 --> 00:39:00,512
indicate your presence
with a recognizable sign.
746
00:39:00,646 --> 00:39:02,346
Over here! This way!
747
00:39:02,481 --> 00:39:05,651
Ellie!
748
00:39:06,251 --> 00:39:08,153
And take shelter
while you wait for help.
749
00:40:14,052 --> 00:40:15,087
Well
750
00:40:15,821 --> 00:40:16,922
Well
751
00:40:17,823 --> 00:40:19,024
Today was a good day.
752
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:22,094
- It was a good day, wasn't it?
- Mmm.
753
00:40:22,227 --> 00:40:24,596
I owe you something,
Morgan. A thank-you.
754
00:40:25,230 --> 00:40:26,331
For trusting me.
755
00:40:26,899 --> 00:40:28,432
Did I do that?
756
00:40:28,567 --> 00:40:30,496
When you texted me to come
help you guys with the kidnapper.
757
00:40:30,502 --> 00:40:32,686
Yeah. I mean, you gave me
enough time to get there.
758
00:40:32,882 --> 00:40:34,711
Didn't give me enough time
to call for backup though,
759
00:40:34,717 --> 00:40:36,947
which, once I realized the career-ending
debacle you threw me into...
760
00:40:36,953 --> 00:40:39,689
Were you thanking me? Is that
how this whole rant started, or
761
00:40:39,822 --> 00:40:40,822
Yeah.
762
00:40:40,890 --> 00:40:42,558
Well, I would like to thank you
763
00:40:42,692 --> 00:40:45,293
for not going
full Rambo: First Blood Part II
764
00:40:45,428 --> 00:40:47,930
- like I know you wanted to.
- Mmm.
765
00:40:48,431 --> 00:40:49,432
Yeah.
766
00:40:50,366 --> 00:40:52,368
You think this will ever
happen again? Hmm?
767
00:40:52,502 --> 00:40:54,771
- Us trusting each other.
- I don't. I don't.
768
00:40:54,904 --> 00:40:56,321
It was good while
it lasted though.
769
00:40:57,540 --> 00:40:58,574
It was fine.
770
00:41:01,778 --> 00:41:02,812
Gillory.
771
00:41:04,413 --> 00:41:05,413
Come here.
772
00:41:05,481 --> 00:41:06,783
Are we hugging?
773
00:41:06,916 --> 00:41:08,951
- Absolutely not.
- Okay. Well, take it easy.
774
00:41:09,085 --> 00:41:11,254
You don't have to say it
like that.
775
00:41:11,387 --> 00:41:12,655
My badge?
776
00:41:14,090 --> 00:41:15,091
What
777
00:41:15,691 --> 00:41:16,793
Oh, I must have lost it.
778
00:41:16,926 --> 00:41:18,995
You lost it. And I found it
in the woods.
779
00:41:22,297 --> 00:41:23,966
Get some rest, Detective.
780
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:25,635
You too, Consultant.
