Cyber Case (2015) Movie Script

Mommy?

Isabel, can you take

your eyes off the screen

for a minute

of your life?

Me? What about you?

He's asking for you.

Really, though,

please. Help.

I'm slammed with work,

and Daddy's just...

Daddy?

Matt, whatever.

For what it's worth,

you were calling him Dad

for a while.

Yeah, before he had

a real kid.

We just need a little help

this summer, Belle.

Mommy?

Mommy's coming.

Are we hearing

one another?

Sure thing, Mommy.

My charge

for nanny services

is 20 bucks an hour.

Cool?

I was thinking more along

the lines of room and board

and fees waived for

bringing you into this world.

Go open a real book! Hmm?

Mommy's coming!

No, it's not

that one! This one?

Oh, look who's here,

it's Mommy! Give me that.

No!

Hey, little monkey!

How was your nap?

Yes, my little boy.

Oh! Hey.

Go tell Belle to make you

some lunch, okay?

Aww!

Go on.

Slow, slow, slow.

Yeah.

So, Joe threw two listings

on my lap today,

so I might be home

by dinner.

His new boyfriend

is whisking him off

to Santa Barbara

for the week.

Remember when I used to

be able to whisk you away?

You were an excellent

whisker.

Mattie, I'm so sorry.

I know I promised you

time to work on getting

your client list back up.

I can tell him

to forget it.

No, no. The extra

money will be good.

Yeah. Well,

make Isabel help you.

She spends all day staring

at one screen or another.

I'm afraid she's going to

lose her ability to speak.

That's why I'm

reluctant to let her

watch our little monkey.

Mattie, she's 16.

She needs to learn

some responsibility.

OCD much, Mom?

Belle, there are

meals in the freezer

already prepared.

Just heat one up!

Okay!

It's like I don't even

live here, or something.

Your mommy and my mommy

are very different people.

They're the same mommies.

You're biologically

correct, sir.

Be careful.

It's a little hot.

Sprinkles!

Did you get that

from the fishbowl?

Sprinkles!

You're seriously

disgusting.

Sprinkles!

Abso-f'ing-lutely.

I can't believe

you're into that kid.

He's a total damage.

I heard he robbed

the liquor store.

Okay, TMZer. Heard he

asked a guy out front

to buy him a 40.

Is that his InstaQuick?

Oh, my God.

You're a stalker!

Just go over there and

say, "Hi." How hard is that?

Because desperation

is so attractive.

Let's see

about that. Smile.

What are you doing?

I'm getting you

the attention you deserve.

Wait, stop that. No!

Send. There you go.

Oh, that's embarrassing.

You're welcome.

Seriously, what am I

supposed to say

when he comes

over here?

Just say hi.

Hey.

Can I get you ladies a beer?

Yeah.

Was that so bad?

Oh, man!

Your pics

are pretty tight.

Thanks.

Who's the woman

with the kid?

Oh, it's my Mom

and my half-brother.

Half-brother, huh?

Oh, yeah. His dad

married my mom.

Life's never been

the same, you know?

Ah, your dad's a tool.

Uh, no, actually.

He's pretty cool.

We were really close

until Tommy was born.

So, the kid's a tool.

Chug!

Ugh.

Oh, boy, okay.

Let me.

Thanks.

Ah! Okay.

So, this Tommy character.

Ha! Gotta break

his kneecaps?

Oh, did you actually

know that humans

really don't start

developing kneecaps

until they're about

two years old?

Well, you learn

a lot of random stuff

when you have a baby

brother in junior high.

Uh... the point is

his are probably

still developing, so.

You're my kind

of weird, Isabel.

Chug!

Hello!

I'm home.

Ten minutes early

for curfew,

thank you very much.

Hey, Mom.

Met a cute boy.

Sweet. Talk to you later.

Okay. One more bite

of yogurt, buddy.

Here it comes, all the way

from the North Pole!

Yummy!

All right. We're done.

You get to go do

whatever you want for,

like, 20 minutes okay? Go.

All right. Run along.

Go, buddy, go!

Where's Mom?

Ah, work.

Didn't she see

my note?

I left it right

on her teacup.

She was in a rush.

I don't even think she

made it into the kitchen.

Whatever.

Hey, hey. You know

she's not going to work

this much forever, right?

It's not that.

I just thought she would

at least say goodbye.

She totally bagged

on our tradition.

I didn't know

you guys had one.

You wouldn't.

Sorry. Never mind.

No, come on. I mean,

seriously. Is this the way

it's going to be

between you and me?

It's just when it was

the two of us,

and she got really

busy with work,

she would wake me up

and then hop in the shower,

and I would make the tea,

and then I would sit

in the bathroom with her,

while she got ready.

It was our only

time together.

It... it's stupid.

No, Belle. It's not

stupid. It's beautiful.

Blue eyes or brown?

Oh, my God.

What? I can dish.

Dish?

Hazel.

Isabel has a boyfriend!

I'm only kidding.

I know that you're busy.

I can take Tommy

to the park.

I'm not gonna break him.

No, it's not that.

It's just...

I'm self-centered

and irresponsible.

Yeah, yeah.

Walls are super-thin.

Okay, cool.

I could use the hour.

Straight to the park, okay?

And keep the phone on you.

Is your phone on you?

Always is.

Keep it in your pocket.

Eyes on Tommy.

Yes, sir.

Aye aye. Have fun!

Tommy boy!

Tommy boy, let's go!

Zoom!

Next time we'll bring

some wax paper

and make it extra slippery.

How much

do you charge?

He's my little brother.

I know. I see your mom

here all the time.

That's my Andy.

Yeah, you look familiar.

This is Tommy.

I'm Isabel. I think

I've seen you here before.

Yeah, I'm kind of

a fixture around here.

And the mall, and

the farmers market,

just anything to get

out of the house, you know?

Got to burn off

that toddler energy.

Seriously.

You know,

I teach the story hour

at the rec center

on Wednesdays.

You should come by.

Okay.

Oh, we've got a runner.

Nice meeting you.

Hey, buddy.

You can't run off like that.

It scares me, buddy, okay?

Playing in the sand?

You've got it all over you.

Boo!

Oh, my gosh.

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd

come by and say hi.

Hi.

Is this the little monster

who's causing you

so much trouble?

Yup.

Hi, I'm Jeremy.

Nice to meet you.

Low five?

It's gravel

from the fish tank.

He's obsessed.

It's completely disgusting.

It's "a-lily" disgusting.

That's funny.

Thank you.

How'd you know

where to find me?

I stalked you.

Not really!

I saw the picture

you posted on InstaQuick.

Do you see this pin

right here?

Mm-hmm.

That's you.

You totally stalked me!

No, I didn't. You have

very poor cyber security.

I know. I'm lazy.

Maybe you just

want to be found.

If you want me to

fix it for you, I can.

No, you're right.

I'm okay being found.

Try to get some of that

in your mouth, my love.

There we go. Huh?

See how good it is

when you actually

eat it?

Hey, Mom!

Hi!

Aren't you late?

Yes, but I wanted

to see you guys.

Feels like

it's been days.

It's been one day.

We're fine, Mom.

Mm!

Love you both.

Okay. We're fine.

Go before

you're even later.

Love you.

Love you both!

Seriously, dude?

All right. One more.

I'm watching.

Okay. Let's go.

All right, you ready?

Let's go.

All right!

Wow! Woo! Good kick, bud!

Okay, let's try this one

with your left foot.

This one?

That foot.

You ready?

That's okay.

Oh, that's okay.

Hey! No hands

on the soccer ball.

Hey, hands off

that soccer ball, mister.

Oh, you... what!

All right,

let's try it again.

I'm hungry.

You're hungry?

You're in luck.

I brought a picnic.

Picnic!

Okay, coming right up.

Stay close, okay?

Stay close.

Right there!

Tommy, stay close!

That's disgusting.

What's a sandwich

without sprinkles?

Tommy?

Excuse me, have you seen

a little blonde boy,

red shirt?

Nope.

Tommy?

Tommy!

Have you seen

a little boy?

Uh-uh.

Tommy?

Tommy!

Excuse me, did you

see a little boy?

No.

Tommy!

Does he know

his home address?

No. He's three.

And you said he

was wearing blue jeans

and a red shirt?

Yeah. Uh...

Here.

Can I send this

to my phone?

Hold it right there...

We're the parents,

we're the parents!

Go ahead.

Isabel!

What happened?

Mom!

Mr. Fletcher,

I'm Detective Phillips.

I turned around

for a second,

and he was gone.

I just went to go

get him the picnic.

I knew I shouldn't

have let you watch him.

What was I thinking?

We'll continue to take

eyewitness accounts,

but no one that we interviewed

saw anyone or anything strange.

Our initial assessment

is that he wandered off.

Yes. He's a runner.

You have to keep

a close eye on him.

What can we do?

We have officers searching

the outlying area right now.

Oh, my God. The streets.

We have vehicles

searching all the streets

around the park.

If he doesn't turn up, we

have a canine unit to help.

Now, do you have any

clothing of Tommy's that

might have a scent on him?

Uh, yeah.

Here's his jacket.

So, look. I've seen cases

like this before.

A child gets distracted

by something he sees

and wanders off, gets lost.

Sometimes they hide

because they're afraid

they might get in trouble.

I want to help

with the search.

Of course.

I'll be right back.

Did he say anything to you

about wanting to go somewhere?

No.

Well, was anyone flying

a kite? He loves kites.

I didn't see any, no.

I...

I don't know why he

would've wandered off.

Oh, my God. My baby!

Were you on your phone,

ignoring him?

No, I wasn't

ignoring him.

Maybe you should've been

paying better attention!

Or maybe someone

took him!

Or maybe I actually

did everything right,

and it was just completely

out of my control

because someone took him!

Why is that so hard

for both of you to believe?

God, it's like I'm just

invisible to both of you!

Because he would've

screamed if he was grabbed!

He would bite

and kick and scream,

and someone

would've noticed!

Stop it, please,

both of you!

Okay.

You're right.

He would've screamed.

Excuse me. Mrs. Fletcher,

maybe you should go home,

in case Tommy shows up there.

Someone he knows

might have picked him up.

Be on the move in five.

I love you.

He's okay.

Tommy's okay.

Get your stuff.

Tommy.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

God, you all hate me.

This isn't about you

right now, Belle.

I'm sorry. We don't

hate you, okay?

It's just, we have

to find Tommy.

I can't take thank you all

enough for coming out

to help us find

our baby boy, Tommy.

Again, he's three years old.

He's wearing a red shirt

and jeans, and red shoes.

He's a little guy, and

he's a very good hider.

Thank you. My wife and I

are forever grateful.

Slow and steady.

Heading out!

Tommy!

Mrs. Fletcher,

I'm Agent Willis

from the Child Abduction

Rapid Deployment Team.

Abduction...

It's merely procedure.

Can we talk, please?

Yeah, yes.

Yes, of course.

The police said

he probably wandered off.

He does that.

Mrs. Fletcher, I don't mean

to alarm you unnecessarily.

There's no evidence yet

that Tommy has been abducted.

The police are correct.

It's just that in cases

of missing children

as young as Tommy,

we're called out

to investigate any

and all possibility,

small as those chances

may be.

I'm simply here to evaluate

the circumstances.

Okay.

I'm going to need a list

of names and numbers

of all family members, teachers

and workers within the home.

Yes, of course.

It's all in my contacts.

Uh, can I offer you

something to drink?

I'm fine, Ma'am.

Thank you.

I need some coffee.

Excuse me.

Isabel, are you on social

media, uh, Twitter...

Yeah, uh, all of it.

We could really use

your help right now.

Anything. Just tell me

what to do.

We could reach out

to everyone you know.

The more eyes

that we have out there

looking for Tommy,

the better.

Can you do that for me?

Yeah.

Tommy!

Tommy! Tommy,

it's Daddy!

Tommy, it's Daddy! It's

okay to come out, buddy!

Tommy!

Mommy and Belle

are waiting for you!

Tommy!

Come on, Tommy!

Got something.

This is Phillips.

Come back with that?

Blue jeans

seen in the park.

Mr. Fletcher!

What is it?

Let us through.

Mr. Fletcher, wait.

Is this his?

Is this Tommy's?

Uh, I don't know.

He's got a lot of clothes.

You know, it looks

like his size.

Don't.

Wait, listen to me,

listen to me.

We've put his name on the tags

of all his jackets.

Check it, please. Please!

It's not his.

Bringing in the canine unit.

It's dark. He doesn't

always look both ways

when he crosses

the street. It's...

Matt, I'm a dad,

and I can only imagine

the world of pain you're

going through right now,

but it's extremely important

that you let law enforcement

direct the search.

We've got to make sure

that whatever evidence we find

is protected and preserved.

Finding Tommy is

our highest priority.

Okay?

Okay.

Look, you've had

a long day.

Go home. Be with your

wife and daughter.

I can't just do nothing.

It's my son!

Just continue

to get the word out

to as many people

as you can.

We're going to find

Tommy, I promise.

Okay. Uh, I appreciate

all you're doing.

We'll keep you updated.

I-I blasted out a tweet with

the hashtag "findtommynow."

I've already almost

got 100 retweets,

and I posted an announcement

on FaceChatter.

Excellent work. Good.

Now just keep an eye

on the comments

for any leads.

Also, I took about a dozen

photos on my phone today.

If Tommy was taken,

there could be a photo

of the person who

took him on my phone.

Please, Belle. Let's just

pray that he wasn't taken.

Mom, I was there.

I was right there.

Mother, please believe me.

I turned away for a second,

and he was gone.

It was that fast!

Why, well, why?

Why him?

It just doesn't make

any sense.

You're right, Jackie.

You're right.

Sometimes it doesn't

make any sense,

but we just have to

continue to have faith

that he's either going to

come wandering back here,

or one of our officers

will find him.

They've already talked to

and gotten photos

from everyone that was

at the park, not to mention

there are surveillance cameras

all the way around the park.

It's an extremely well-covered

area, so the best thing

that we can do right now is keep

an eye on your social media,

continue to get the

word out. The more eyes

that are out there looking

for Tommy, the better.

Okay. We will.

I'm going to get back

to the park for a few

and check in

with Phillips.

There will be an officer

parked outside, in front

of the house tonight

if you need anything.

And while I'm gone,

call me for any reason

if you need anything,

okay? We're going to do

everything we can to find

Tommy, and soon. Okay?

Thank you.

Oh, honey.

Hey.

Oh, where is he?

He just be so scared.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Belle?

Belle, I'm sorry.

Belle?

Isabel?

Matt, have you seen her?

No.

She's not here,

and her laptop is gone.

What do you mean

she's not here?

She's got to be.

Did you check

the shower?

No, Matt.

She's not home!

Where could she be?

It's the middle of the night.

Why?

Why is the bigger question.

I'll ask the officer

outside if he saw her.

The cops are all over this.

Why not just let them

do their job?

I know that he

was taken, Jeremy.

My parents are in denial,

but I was there.

It all happened way too fast.

Someone would've seen him.

I took 100 pics of him

on my phone that day,

so whoever took him has got

to be in the background

in one of them.

I just needed a bigger screen

to be able to see the detail.

Don't the police have

all of your photos?

Yeah, but who knows

what they'll do with it?

Whatever it is, I know that

we can do more from here.

I can't just

sit back and wait.

All right, police

are still treating this

as though Tommy wandered off,

but I know that he was taken.

So, I just really

need your help.

No one is moving fast

enough, so please help me.

Of course.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, Ben, I need you

to do a FaceChatter search

of anyone at Roosevelt Park

playground in the last week.

You got it.

Okay.

That's awesome.

Yeah. I got the idea

from when you tracked me down

at the playground.

Okay. Allison, look

into those profiles.

I want you to scour their

timelines, activities,

groups, friends.

If the profile's private,

Google them like you would

a cheating boyfriend.

I want any and all info

on their day to day,

especially anything weird.

Uh, what kind of weird?

Legal trouble,

lack of activity...

Also places

that they shop, where

they regularly check in.

What are you looking for?

Tommy disappeared

too quickly

for it to be

a random abduction.

Whoever took him

probably cased the place

at least once or twice

beforehand.

Okay, Ben, I want you

to do a refined search,

anyone that was there from

the hours of noon to 2:00.

We'll see if there's any

crossover with Allison's list.

Okay.

All right. Ready to take

your cyber-stalking

to the next level?

Okay. Sorry

for disturbing you.

Sure, that's fine. Okay.

They didn't see her.

She must've gone

over the back fence.

I just woke up the Kennedys.

Allison's at a sleepover.

Her mom's calling to check

if she's heard from Belle.

Damn it, Isabel.

It's Belle.

Leave a message.

Belle, call me back now.

We really need

the whole family

to be together right now.

Belle, come home, please.

She left without telling us.

She took her computer.

She's not going to answer

your calls, Jack.

What are you doing?

Taking care of it myself.

Okay, now what?

We need to go out to anyone

who frequents the park

and other places

the park goers hang

and get their

phone footage.

How did you go

from newbie

to full-blown stalker

in a week?

I kind of went

down a rabbit hole

looking for my birth dad.

Let's just say I learned

a lot in the process.

Did you find him?

Oh, yeah.

And?

Like I said, I learned

a lot in the process.

I really don't want

to talk about it.

Could we just focus

on this?

Yeah.

We're going to find him.

So, what's the situation?

Got a number of jackets,

toys and food items

we picked up

around the perimeter.

Pictures of all of it

for the family to look at.

All right, so none

of the witness interviews

turned up anything

suspicious at the park

at the time

of the incident?

Couple of moms saw

the same guy with a dog.

Never seen the man

at the playground before.

We checked him against

the database, and he's clean.

Security footage is being

scanned as we speak.

Did you lift

any fingerprints?

Millions.

Of course.

No reports of commotion.

Some people remember

seeing Tommy,

but it's like

he vanished into thin air.

We're doing background checks

of the family relations,

and I want you to check

this outlying area.

I want you to go door to door,

check every basement,

every abandoned refrigerator,

any place that you can think of

that Tommy may have

hidden in last night.

Julie Stark,

crazy dog lady. She posts

photos of them every day

in different outfits. No kids.

Good eye,

but there's no way

she could pull off

a kidnapping.

Elise Babcock.

She had a really strong

online presence

until yesterday.

Maybe she's out

looking for Tommy still.

No, no, no. She's cool,

but she knows everything

and everyone at the park,

so friend her for me

and keep an eye on her.

I want all of her footage

when she's back.

Copy that. Lastly,

we have Juliana Hargrove.

This one's on

the sex offender list.

What? Let me see.

Bury the lead much?

Has she been posting

since Tommy went missing?

Uh, I think so,

a little bit.

She commented

a couple of times.

Address?

I have that.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

I'm just really tired.

It's okay.

I know it's late.

Isabel!

Crap, that's my stepdad.

Isabel!

Isabe...

Get in the car.

You're coming home.

What are you doing here?

I've been driving around

for an hour, trying

to find this place.

Your mother's worried

to death. Do you really think

she needs this right now?

Sir, she's just

trying to help.

Say goodbye to my daughter.

This is the last time

you're going to see her.

That is completely

unfair! You come in here,

and you don't even ask.

You do not even know

what we...

I have a really good idea

what's been going on here.

Get in the car!

Jeremy...

Let's go!

No, he wasn't

wearing a jacket.

It must've been

so cold last night.

No.

Yes. That's his.

Wait.

Hold on a second.

Do you have any kids,

Agent Willis?

I have two boys, six and ten.

My heart is breaking for you.

I remember when Isabel

was learning to ride

a two-wheeler, and, uh...

I was terrified of

something happening to her.

Belle, I know

you're trying to help,

but you're not

in charge here!

You're 16 years old!

Where did you go?

I was just trying

to find Tommy. He's not

even listening to me.

I can help.

I have a lead.

I can help.

It's your help

that got us in this mess

in the first place.

Hey, uh... I'm sorry

about that. It's just...

No, no. It's fine.

Belle, Matt didn't mean it.

He's...

We're just all really scared

and stressed out right now.

I thought that

if I could find Tommy,

Matt would forgive me.

I have something, I think.

Something?

There's a woman that's been

hanging out at the park

that's on the sex

offenders list.

The sex offenders

list, for what?

Lewd and lascivious acts

to a child

under 16 years of age.

Oh, my God.

I don't know

if she was at the park

the day that Tommy

disappeared, but she goes

to that park. She was there

just last week.

Why would she even be

allowed at the park, Belle?

Wouldn't there be

some sort of a court order?

Please, Mom.

Just let me show you.

I promise. Just give me

one chance. You'll see.

Okay.

I have her address.

All right. Let's go.

Just you and me, Mom.

Matt, he does not understand,

or he's not listening,

but either way he's not

going to go along with this.

If I'm wrong, I'll stop

and do whatever you want.

Jesus. 403 comments,

and not one legitimate lead.

"Praying for your family."

That's great.

That's great. Thanks.

I know it doesn't

seem like much,

but the more eyes that

we have out there looking,

the better it is

for everyone.

You have to keep

this dialogue up.

"You shouldn't have left

your back door open."

I mean, what does that

even mean? He disappeared

from a park.

Internet trolls.

This happens all the time.

They're trying to make

themselves feel superior

by blaming it on the parents,

making them feel bad.

Yeah, well, it's cruel.

Yeah. Well, try not

to take it personally.

You guys are

fantastic parents,

and you're doing everything

that you can be doing right now.

Thank you.

Hey, where

are you guys going?

We just need

some fresh air

and some time

to talk. Alone.

Okay.

Yes?

Juliana Hargrove?

Yes. Come in.

Sorry. I'd invite you in,

but my toddler's sleeping.

Can I help you?

Yeah. Are you

Juliana Hargrove,

originally from Utah Springs,

Deerfield High School?

What's this about?

My little brother

went missing...

at Roosevelt Park.

Yes. I saw the posters.

I'm so terribly sorry.

Can I...

You found me on the registry.

I can explain.

When I was 15, I had

a boyfriend who was also 15.

Our parents wanted us to wait

until we were married.

When we didn't wait,

they brought up charges

on both of us.

Utah. Go figure.

I'm so, so sorry.

I've been praying

for your family.

Thank you.

I am so sorry, Mom. All

I've done is waste time.

No. It's okay.

You gave me hope

for a moment, honey.

This might not have been

the right lead, but

you have woken me up,

and now we just need

to find him.

So, you agree

that someone took him?

Belle, I trust your instincts.

You've been one step

ahead of the police

this whole time. Yeah?

And it just dawned on me

that if we were able

to find Juliana so easily

through a simple cyber search,

do you think whoever took Tommy

might have done the same thing?

You think they found him

through my posts.

I'm not blaming you,

sweetie. I'm just...

No, no, no, no. I get it.

You could be right.

I need to go to everywhere

that I've posted from

and see if anyone

has any leads.

Okay. Where next?

No, Mom.

You should go home.

I'm going to call Allison

to pick me up.

Do you trust me?

Of course, I do.

Keep your phone on.

You've got it.

Check in often.

Okay.

Three hours, max.

You've got it,

all right?

Love you.

I love you.

No, you've done

a great job.

Now get some sleep.

All right. I've got to go.

Thanks, Mr. Fletcher.

Sure.

Why don't you have a seat?

Look, our preliminary search

operation's been exhausted.

Now the probability

of Tommy being lost

is officially lower than

other possible conclusions.

Now you're saying

he was abducted?

It's a strong possibility.

Children taken by strangers

represent less than 1/100th

of 1% of all missing children.

This doesn't feel random.

Really?

'Cause it feels totally

frickin' random to me.

I've called a professional

profiler down to the house,

and she is amazing.

She'll help us get

to the bottom of this.

I hope so 'cause

we're running out of time.

He was taken, Matt.

I can feel it.

It's been 17 hours.

We've looked everywhere.

Somebody took our baby.

I know.

Isabel was right all along.

Get home as soon

as you can. I love you.

I love you, too.

Try to get some of that

in your mouth, my love.

Hey.

Hey, what took you

so long?

I'm sorry. I got

caught up. I tried

to text you, though.

Yeah, my phone's dead.

You think you could take it

to the warehouse

and charge it for me?

Sure. Is she here yet?

Not yet. Story hour

starts in a few minutes.

Then what if

she doesn't show?

Figured I could talk

to the women,

see if any of them

were there, have footage...

Okay. Good idea.

If they do, I'm going to

have them text it to my phone.

I'll come by later, check

it out, so download everything.

Okay. Be careful.

Okay.

Agent Radzicki,

this is Mr. Fletcher.

Hi, Mr. Fletcher.

How are you?

I'm here to help get

to the bottom of this.

I hope so. Come on in.

Is there anyone,

and I mean anyone:

new clients,

new friends?

No. Business has been

at a near halt.

Someone from your past

that might want

retribution for something,

someone new to your

social circle in any way?

No, no. I mean, Isabel

has a new boyfriend, Jeremy.

I don't know

what his last name is,

but what would a 17-year-old

kid want with my...

What do you know

about him?

Not a lot. He skates,

takes pictures.

He's a kid. I don't know.

Can you get her

on the phone?

Yeah. I'll try.

It's unlikely

that 17-year-old kid

would want anything to do

with taking a toddler.

Right, but he wasn't there

at the time of the incident,

so we should look into it.

Yeah, or any of his friends

or contacts the parents

don't know about.

It's Belle.

Leave a message.

Straight to voicemail.

Belle, I need to speak

to you immediately.

Call me as soon

as you get this.

She's 16, right?

Yeah.

Active on social media?

Only 24/7.

You got her passwords?

Mm-hmm. This way.

Okay. Password?

Isabel98.

Thank you.

Nope.

What do you mean

password encrypted?

That's her password!

Well, maybe

she changed it.

But it's okay. Passwords

aren't hard to figure out.

Nobody complicates them

enough.

Okay. Let's just

work off the original

password, Isabel98.

Let's expand on that.

Yeah, Isabel1998.

Fine.

No. Uh, okay.

How about Belle1998?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Try it. Try it.

Excuse me.

That's your brother

on the posters, right,

the one who's missing?

Yeah. Yes. Were you there

at the park that day?

No, unfortunately.

Do you know anyone

that was?

No, I don't. I'm just

visiting family here.

I just want to tell you

I'm so sorry.

I just...

I can't even imagine.

It's gravel from

the fish tank. He's obsessed.

Now, all right.

Her middle name?

Grace.

Grace98.

Nope. Gracebel98...

No.

Try "Invisibel,"

like invisible.

Okay.

Invisibel?

Yeah, it's how she signed

her journal entries.

God, it's like I'm just

invisible to both of you!

Invisibel98.

- We're in.

- Matt!

What is it?

This is Tommy's.

He always brings that

to the park.

I'm going to need to

take that for evidence.

We're officially ruling this

an abduction. I'm sorry.

"You shouldn't have left

your back door open."

Someone wrote

the same thing

in the tweet.

What the hell

were they referring to?

Not a real back door.

I bet they mean

a cyber backdoor.

The kidnapper

must've been stalking you

through social media.

How?

Isabel told me about this.

Uh,...

if you post a post a photo

or check-in somewhere,

then the link is embedded

in the coordinate information.

It's easily traceable

if anybody has the will.

This isn't just some random

person. This is deeply personal.

Here's what the tweet says.

What else was written?

"Sure is a nice day for a ride."

"What big eyes you have."

"What a beautiful day

in the playground."

"You shouldn't have left

your back door open."

This son of a bitch is

live-tweeting Tommy's abduction.

Can you trace the address?

Sorry, it's not that easy.

With emails, for instance,

it's one thing because

we can find the IP address.

People typically send those

from a home computer.

However, with mobile apps

like Twitter,

people host through those

apps with their phone.

That means that every time they

move, the IP address changes.

I wish I could give you some

pictures, like everyone else.

That's okay.

I'm praying for you.

Thank you.

That's my Andy.

Andy.

Hi, Andy!

Do you remember me?

I'm friends with your mommy.

Do you know where she is?

Nanny!

What's going on here?

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean

to scare him off.

I didn't realize

Elise had a nanny.

Elise?

Elise, Andy's mom.

Hey, Andy. Do you remember

playing with my little

brother Tommy at the park?

Uh...

Andy's mom is deceased.

I'm his only caretaker

besides his father, so.

Deceased?

Yeah.

I... I don't understand.

You know the lady

that reads to the kids,

she has dirty blonde hair,

blue eyes, fair skin?

Oh, Miss Babcock?

Yeah, she's always here

reading to the kids,

but I...

She hasn't been here

in days.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

Who could've done this?

Is Isabel particularly close

to her biological father?

She's only met him

once or twice.

He's never really been

in the picture.

No? They've been

corresponding for months,

or at least according

to this, she has.

What?

Yeah.

She asked to live with him,

and he said no?

Wow.

Well, the divorce.

Was it messy?

Yeah, it was pretty ugly.

He still sends

a small child support check

every month, actually.

I just got it this morning.

It should be right there.

I think it's the second

or the third way down.

Yeah. It has

his address on it.

In all honesty, he's

never seemed concerned

about being her father.

I don't, it just...

It doesn't make any sense.

It's simple retribution.

The last time we spoke,

he was working in IT.

Wait. Hold on. Wait.

Isabel's father,

he works in computers?

It's not him.

It's definitely not him,

but I know who it is.

Her name is Elise Babcock.

She was so nice.

She gave me all this advice,

told me where to take Tommy

when it was raining, but

her son wasn't even her son.

She was pretending the

whole time. I'm so stupid.

Honey, stop.

All right, there's no

Elise Babcock in the area.

Must be using a fake name.

Yeah, fake name, fake kid.

God, I'm such an idiot!

Belle.

She had a Twitter,

though. Maybe I can find

a photo of her.

Yeah, but think back.

Was there any personal

information

that she offered you

that could be true?

Where she lives,

where she's from,

her family members.

Anything, sweetie.

I can't remember.

I found this

in the parking lot

of the playground.

Oh, my God.

It's the fishbowl gravel

that Tommy hoards. It was

in the parking lot?

He must have dropped it

getting into someone's car.

That means

whoever took Tommy

was parked right there.

That whoever is Elise.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, it was a fake name,

but I can't find

a photo of her anywhere.

Maybe we can find a photo

of the parking lot somewhere.

Dammit.

It's okay, Sir. Thanks

to Isabel, we got something.

When I found the gravel,

I did a quick sort,

but I haven't had a chance

to look through the photos.

He's got to be

in there somewhere.

Jeremy,

how were you able to get

all of these photos?

I took your lead.

The gang and I tracked down

all the park goers

we found online,

and we got their photos

and videos from the day.

Oh, my gosh.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want

to get your hopes up.

Okay, so these

are photos from, wow,

all different angles

of the park.

We ordered them

chronologically

by time stamp,

according to the area.

Okay, so we're getting

closer to the time, 1:14 PM.

There. I don't see

Tommy, but...

That's her. That's her!

That's Loraine.

You know this woman?

My ex-wife.

All right! We've got

an address on her.

She's 33 miles northeast

of here.

That's a long ways

away from Roosevelt Park.

We put a fast track

on a warrant for her,

and we've got our guys

on their way up there

right now. That could be

where she's holding Tommy.

We're going to put out

an Amber alert

as soon as we can get

the plate on her car.

Why didn't you

tell us about her?

Honestly, it never

crossed my mind.

We were married super young.

We were 19 years old.

I haven't heard

from her in years.

Look, they could be anywhere

right now.

Matt, do you have any other

photos of her?

Yeah. Let me take a look.

I get how she found me

through Matt's timeline,

but how did she know

where we lived?

I posted a photo of the front

of the home when we moved in.

The address is right there,

along with dozens of

photos of Tommy.

And I'm the one the posted

photos of the playground.

It's all my fault.

No! Sweetheart,

she targeted you.

Now we have no idea

what she's going to do

with him.

It's old.

The divorce, were you

the one that wanted out?

No, she did. There were

a number of miscarriages.

She had a stillborn

at 28 weeks.

She even named her Ashley.

She was devastated.

Ashley, you say?

Yeah. The marriage

didn't last after that.

She said being with her

was too painful a reminder.

When was the last time

you spoke to her?

Like, 18 years ago.

Look, she had her share

of family issues, but I

didn't think she was insane.

I found Loraine's

Twitter.

I scrolled all the way

down her profile

and look, these are all photos

that we posted of Tommy

that she reposted

as if he was her son.

She copied and pasted

our social media?

All the way back

to Tommy's birth.

Clearly, we're dealing with

an unstable personality here,

but the good news is

I think she's using Tommy

as a proxy

for her lost child.

I don't think

she's going to hurt him.

Is that true,

statistically?

Yes.

Oh, please

let it be true.

Hey, she tweeted again:

"Over the river."

Loraine Campbell!

Open up.

It's the police!

How can I help you,

Officers?

Loraine Campbell?

No. She moved out

two months ago.

Can I see an ID, please?

Mm-hmm.

Can we take

a look around, please?

Do you happen to know

where she moved to?

No, no. She needed cash,

was selling her car cheap.

Seemed like

a really nice lady.

The manager's never really

around. He may have more info,

if you could find him.

What did she do?

There's nothing here.

Uh, wait! Some mail

came in for her.

Uh, I don't think she had

a forwarding address.

Poor thing went

to go find her son.

Abusive husband

is looking for her.

I'm sorry,

I opened it by accident.

I didn't read

the name on it first.

From her mother, asking

when she's coming to visit

with the grandson.

If you do happen to hear

from her, by any chance,

here's my card.

Call before you open

the door to her.

She could be dangerous.

How much longer?

Not much longer.

One more wake,

and we'll be there.

And Mommy?

I'm going to be taking care

of you for a while now.

We're gonna go visit grandma!

Nana?

Yes! Right, Nana.

She's been dying to see you.

Your daddy's going

to come visit us real soon.

I know he will.

Okay, so you mentioned

family issues.

Yeah. She was the black sheep.

She had a younger sister

who had a brood of kids

at a really young age.

She couldn't have one,

so she never fit in.

So, every pregnancy

brought her

closer and closer

to the breaking point.

"What big eyes you have."

"Over the river."

Over the river

and through the woods?

To grandmother's house.

Do you think she's going

to her mom's?

It looks like it. See, the

officers that were searching

her former apartment found

letters from the mother

detailing an imminent visit

from her and her grandson.

Her grandson? Her grandson?

Well, apparently

the mother's gravely ill,

and her dying wish

was to finally get to see

her only grandson.

Well, that explains a lot.

I mean, finding out

her mother was dying

must have been her stressor.

She's been cyber-stalking you

for years. I mean, that news

must have triggered

a psychotic break.

And we have an address

for the hospice facility

where the mother was being held,

and there's a warrant in place,

so as soon as Loraine arrives

she'll be arrested.

"Two-thirds of the puzzle

is together."

So, what's the other third?

If she's truly deluded

Tommy's her son,

it must be your stepdad.

I guess.

If she's convinced herself

that Tommy's hers,

she's not likely

to hurt him.

She needs her mom

to meet Tommy,

to complete the narrative

that she's created,

that she's a legitimate

member of her family.

Loraine's mother just

passed away this morning.

The nurse confirmed

that Loraine is on the way

to visit with the grandchild

Oh, my God.

If she finds out

her mother is gone,

her mission is over.

We don't know

what she'll do.

It is not enough anymore

to find out where she is going.

We need to find her

before she realizes

her mother's gone.

We blanketed every route

from here to there.

Rest stops,

we set up roadblocks.

Now, without

a cellphone signal,

there's little more

that we can do right now.

We just got another tweet.

"Mother and child

and child reunion."

She doesn't know yet.

Let's make sure

she doesn't find out.

All right. We still

need that cell signal.

I have an idea.

If the other piece

of the puzzle is Matt...

So, you do think it is Dad.

Let's assume it is.

Let's let them find me.

Exactly.

I think I know how

to make that happen.

Okay, I got the idea

from when Allison

flirted with Jeremy

through my InstaQuick account,

so, we pretend to be Dad,

and we tweet at Loraine,

try to get her to respond

and maybe even give us

her cell phone number.

Okay, let's go fishing.

"It's indeed

in times of crisis

that you know who you can

and can't count on."

"At lorainec4ever."

That's good, Mom.

"I've solved the puzzle,

my love.

Waiting for you to contact me.

Signed, the third piece.

310-555-1436.

At lorainec4ever."

From this point forward,

Belle, you and I

are the husband and father

this freak of nature

always wanted in her life.

All right, Matt.

Let's you and I get ready

to get on and move,

as soon as we get

a response from that.

Sounds good.

"Is it really you?"

It's her!

We've got her number.

Okay. I'm going to

triangulate that immediately.

Here. You keep her texting.

Every time she responds,

it's going to ding off

another tower. It'll

lead us right to her.

"Tell me where you are,

and I will come find you."

Honey! Daddy's going to

meet us at Nana's house.

Go get your shoes on,

okay? Time to go.

I want my Mommy.

Ooh, love. I am your Mommy.

I'm right here.

You are not my Mommy.

I want my Mommy!

That is enough!

She won't respond via text.

She just tweeted

and said she'll tweet again

when it's safe.

She knows we can't

trace her tweets.

Okay, that was one

of our phone technicians.

They were able to trace

that one text.

Great!

Well, good-ish.

See, it bounced off of

two towers here and here,

so it gives us

a rough approximation.

That's a huge area.

Yeah, and it's all wooded.

Lots of little cabin areas,

trailer parks.

She could be anywhere.

Now, the good news is, she's a

lot closer than what we thought,

so if we can just get her

to send us some texts,

we can zero in

on her location here.

So, how can we help?

Right now, all I need

is your husband, Jackie.

He's the one

that she wants.

No, no. We all go,

as a family.

Isabel and I

won't get in the way.

I have to be there.

Please, she has my baby.

All right. Belle, Jackie,

Matt, let's get going.

Jeremy, I want you to stay

here with Agent Radzicki.

Yes, Sir.

Yeah, go ahead. Okay.

What have you got?

Okay, we've honed in

on a small group of cabins

on the route

she'd likely take.

A car similar to hers was seen

entering the development.

How far away are we?

Well, that depends

on how fast I drive.

Okay. Come with me.

So, you're like a cop.

Kind of, yeah.

And you can arrest people

for doing illegal things?

What are you asking me?

Well, my friend from juvie,

uh, who was interested

in computer things,

things I don't know

anything about,

but Isabel's dad is good

with computers, right?

Yeah, I'm not going to arrest

you for helping to find Tommy.

Besides, I'm a profiler.

Then how can I get in touch

with Isabel's dad?

Okay. We're just going

to sit tight here for now.

They're canvassing the area.

There's no reports

of stolen vehicles,

but they're checking out

the rental car companies now.

So, we'll stand by

and wait to hear from them.

Any reports from the Twitter

feed or text messages?

Nothing.

What the...

Belle, what is it?

I just got an email

from Dad.

You what?

Yeah. He wants to help. He's got

some sort of malware program.

Uh, I guess it's

some sort of malware app.

Wow, this is intense.

It displays a PNG image,

but the app can also decrypt

the image with a particular

key in order to display

a second APK file

that it can then install.

Uh...

Dad says he's heard of people

using it to send people a virus

that can completely

take over someone's phone.

I mean contacts,

photos, microphone.

GPS?

Yup. I mean, even if she's

smart enough to not respond

to the texts, she's probably

opening them up

just out of curiosity,

at least.

So, all she has to do

is pick up one text.

Dad says not all phones

are susceptible,

but maybe we can get lucky,

for once.

Well, let's do it. I mean,

what have we got to lose?

Okay. I'm going to pretend

I never heard any of this.

Look, let's just

get your son back,

and we'll deal with the

legal repercussions later.

Okay, then. Uh, where's

that photo of her and Matt?

See, I've just got

to take a photo.

Should I say anything?

Oh, yeah. Let me do that.

I want to make sure

she responds.

Okay.

Sent.

It's too late, my love.

Mama is dead.

Malware activated.

Now, where are you?

Hold for position.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Got it. We got a lock

on her position.

Coordinates G, niner,

five, tango, seven,

niner, six, three, tango,

zebra, foxtrot, zero.

Dream team.

Belle, I'm sorry

we were so hard on you.

I am so, so sorry.

Please be okay. Please

be okay. Please be okay.

He will be, Mom.

He's strong and smart.

We're so close.

He's got to be okay.

Good work, Isabelle.

Yeah. Agent Willis.

Got it. Found the cabin.

Let's go. Let's go!

Okay, I'll be right back.

I need you to stay

with the car.

Under no circumstances

do you leave this vehicle.

Tommy! Tommy!

Mrs. Campbell!

My name is Agent Willis.

I can see you're upset

right now, but nobody

needs to get hurt.

Why don't you let Tommy

come down here and be with us?

Then, we can talk about it.

I want to talk

to my husband.

Hey, she's asking

to talk to you, Matt.

Okay, that's fine,

but I mean, what do I

say to her?

Well, you've got

to keep her calm.

Hello?

Jeremy, put on

Agent Radzicki.

Okay. It's Isabel.

Hello.

Radzicki, you're on speaker.

Loraine wants to talk to Matt.

Okay. Okay, well, she's

obviously coming to reality

with the situation.

He needs to play the role

that she sees him in.

It will bring her back

into the delusion

and will calm her down.

Give Matt the phone.

I'll talk him through it.

Okay, yeah.

It's Matt. Yeah.

Okay, just a second.

Hurry.

What's going on?

Okay, stay with the car.

Okay. Let's go get

our little boy back.

Love you.

Keep her calm. Remember,

you are still her husband.

Tommy is your son with her.

Loraine! Loraine, it's Matt,

your husband! I'm here!

Thank you for finding me.

I've waited so long

for this day.

Matt!

Matt, they're trying to take

our baby. Just tell them

this is all a mistake.

Tell them to go away.

Daddy!

Hey, Tommy boy!

Hey, buddy!

It's okay. Daddy's here.

Just hang in there!

I tried to tell him, Matt.

I told him you were coming.

I'm here. I'm here now,

and everything's

going to be okay.

Matt, Mama died this morning.

She didn't get to meet

her grandson.

I know. I'm sorry.

But she's with us now.

She's watching him now.

No, don't dwell on the mom.

Bring her back.

Bring her back to you three

as a happy family.

I can't believe you found us

after all these years!

Loraine, you know

you're the only one I ever

wanted to have a child with,

even more than with Jackie.

No, do not bring up Jackie!

Jackie? You mean

that bitch that tried

to take our baby from me?

How could you let her do

that, Matt? How could you?

No!

Please...

It's not fair. It's not fair.

She had two babies,

and I, I've got what?

Listen, we could

start over. We could

start again, and you...

No! It's too late.

Mama's already dead.

Mommy! Mommy!

Isabel, what are you doing?

Trust me.

Mommy, don't you

recognize me?

It's me, Ashley.

I always knew that Daddy

would bring me back to you.

I don't understand.

I never blamed you.

It was never your fault.

I've never stopped

loving you.

It's you.

Oh-oh, thank God!

Mommy, come here.

Oh!

Come on, Tommy. Come on.

Loraine...

I'm so sorry for everything

you've been through,

and I hope you get

the help you deserve.

I got to ride

in a police car.

It was so fast!

Yeah? That's so cool!

Hey, dinner's ready.

I should get going.

I'm really glad

everything worked out.

Jeremy, please stay.

We're celebrating

our family

being together tonight,

and that couldn't have

happened without your help.

Okay. Thanks.

So, Agent Willis called.

Loraine's being put

under psych observation.

She should be locked up.

No, she should get

the help she needs,

Belle.

I guess.

What's this?

This is the first camera

I ever shot with.

It's film, so it can't

be plugged in,

can't be downloaded,

and it can't be traced.

It shoots good

old-fashioned photos.
