Grace: Love is powerful,
And my mother's love
has never wavered,
Even after
three stints in rehab.
She believed in me
Before I was even capable
of believing in myself,
So now I'm determined
not to disappoint her,
My family,
But, mostly, I don't want
to disappoint myself.
My survival depends on it.
(dog barks happily)
Good boy.
Good boy.
Come on, come on.
Left side?
Yeah.
Look who I brought!
(gasps)
Grace: Otis! Hi!
(laughs)
Good boy!
I got you a little something.
Mom, you do not have to keep
buying me things.
I know, but I like to spoil you.
I do have clothes.
I know you do.
So I hope you're hungry,
Because your brother
is gonna cook up
Something very special for us
in the kitchen.
Yes.
- Mr. Exceptional.
- Oh, come on.
Don't be like that.
He's worked hard.
He wants to show off
a little bit.
Right. Right.
Right, right, right. Okay.
Hey, I know that
This has been
really hard on you,
And everyone,
But I am committed
to making this work.
- Without a doubt.
- Okay.
Let's eat.
Otis, show the way.
This way.
Come on.
(indistinct conversation)
Burt: I am betting hungry.
(indistinct conversation)
Oh, here we go, food.
Oh, my goodness.
There you go.
Oh, wow.
Just the way you like it.
Thank you.
A little rule breaker.
Janie: That's me.
He begged me to come.
Grace: Did he?
(laughing)
Janie: Look at this.
Thank you.
(gasping)
I just hit 2,000 followers!
Burt: That's good news.
- That's great.
- Isn't that good news?
I don't really know.
Is it?
(laughing)
Did you not have internet?
When you were, like, you know?
- In rehab?
- I mean, it was just...
It was just not something
I really focused on.
Maybe we don't need to care
About our phones
at the table, huh?
Yeah, honey,
let's put the phone down
While we eat the food.
Janie: Come on.
This is a big day.
Okay, let's have a toast.
- Oh.
- All right.
- Okay.
- To my girl.
Welcome home. Welcome back.
One month.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Welcome home, Grace.
- Welcome home.
Congratulations, Grace.
- Cheers, darling.
- Cheers.
All right, guys,
I'm just gonna
check on the kitchen.
- I'll be right back.
- Janie: All right.
You outdid yourself, kiddo.
I'm actually just gonna
stretch my legs real quick.
I'll be right back. Okay?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
- Guys, eat.
- Okay.
Yes, enjoy it.
I feel like
it's missing strawberries.
Can I ask for strawberries?
Sorry about that, guys.
♫ ♫
♫ ♫
Janie: I'm going to go down
and say bye to Grace.
Knock-knock.
- Hey.
- Hey.
It was great having breakfast
with the whole family.
I wanted to say goodbye.
Okay.
I love this.
It's not a shirt.
(laughs)
Yeah.
I don't know, I just...
I don't know if I'll ever
be the same as I was.
You don't need to be.
It's a beautiful part
of who you are.
I don't want you to forget it.
Mm-hmm.
♫ ♫
Janie: It was perfect!
Love you!
Thank you!
Well... What did you think?
I thought...
I don't know.
What is it?
Nothing.
Doesn't look like nothing.
How do you think she was?
Grace? I don't know.
She seemed like...
- Like what?
- Grace.
What does that mean?
Do you think she was withdrawn?
Or what?
No, no, no.
Hey, hey.
I just think
we need to give her...
I don't know, some space,
that's all.
Yeah.
Well, I'll try to find
the new normal...
Of how to just be with her,
But I get a little bit concerned
that I'm...
I don't know,
That I'm looking after her
too much,
That I'm looking at
every move that she makes
Because I'm afraid of...
Well, maybe I'm a little bit
afraid of her...
Relapsing.
Well, that's not unreasonable.
Mm-hmm.
You do need to protect yourself.
Last time was bad.
Okay, but she needs
100% from us...
100% all in.
All in.
She's not going to be alone.
No, she's not.
Hello!
Are we leaving or what?
- The influencer demands a ride.
- Yes, miss, yes, miss.
- Your majesty.
- Can you take him?
- Yes, I will.
- Thanks.
Hey, can I be an influencer?
No.
- I think I could be.
- You can influence me.
Oh, my god.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're "the bird".
That was a long time ago.
Outstanding athlete,
senior year,
Undefeated at every meet,
Three years mvp for diving.
How do you know all that?
Your picture's
still on the awards board...
But everybody knows about you.
At least everyone
who hangs out here.
Yeah, like I said, that was...
That was another life.
I do not dive anymore.
I really want to do
the two-and-a-half reverse tuck.
That was your dive.
Mm-hmm.
Give me some tips?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Sweet!
♫ ♫
You okay?
Yeah.
It's just
the last time I was up here,
I almost broke my neck.
♫ ♫
Look, arm and leg position...
That's all just technique.
The best advice I can give you
isn't technique.
When you are
all the way up here,
It is just you...
In the whole world.
Okay, and once your feet
leave this platform,
You have about two seconds
Before you hit that water
at 35 miles per hour.
So the only thing
that matters...
Is that you believe in yourself.
100%.
Okay?
You got this.
♫ ♫
Hey.
How's it going?
I liked seeing you
up on that platform.
Yeah, it was fun.
Looked like you might even,
I don't know, dive again.
Right.
I don't know,
I just, I feel like I...
I've lost something.
A part of me.
I'm not... I'm not...
I'm not me anymore.
You know?
You're going to get it back.
You are going to be diving,
You are going to be teaching,
If that's what you want to do,
You are going to get
Your fearless,
brilliant self back.
Mom, how do you...
How do you keep doing this?
How do you...
How do you have faith in me?
Over and over again.
After all the stuff
put you guys through.
I'm your mom.
And I trust you.
I don't even trust myself!
You know?
Thank you.
I know you're afraid...
But it's going to be okay.
I promise.
Yeah.
Janie: How many kids?
- (woman) I think three.
- (man) Three!
(woman)
we've talked about this.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Oh! Oh, we need a picture.
Of course, of course.
Come on, come on.
In front of the house.
Here we go, here we go.
What are you going to say?
That's her department.
Go. Three, two, one.
Yes!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
We're so excited.
I can't wait to start decorating
the baby's room.
So, the closing
is on Wednesday at 2:00.
By 4:00, this place
is gonna be yours.
We're just so happy with it
And, you know,
the community and everything.
It's... So hard to find a town
Not riddled with drug problems
these days.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you so much.
We'll see you on Wednesday.
We'll see you
on Wednesday at the office.
All right.
Oh, I remember
being her, pregnant,
And buying my first house.
Thinking that
if I had the right house
In the perfect neighborhood,
Then everything would be okay,
And I wouldn't have
any detours in my life.
Yeah, well,
we were all innocent once.
(laughs)
see you, guys.
Well, if you didn't have
any detours,
Then you wouldn't
have gotten divorced,
And we...
Wouldn't be together.
You're cute.
I am cute.
Oh, but you know what...
I have to show
the Brighton house at 2:00.
You want to join?
I can't.
I have to work the desk.
My boss is a slave driver.
Oh...
I thought you married him.
Oh, yeah.
- I did.
- Okay.
Have a good day.
- Okay. See you at dinner.
- Mm-hmm.
♫ ♫
That was a long shift.
Yeah.
Should we unwind
Before you head back
to your little basement?
Cheers.
- Tequila?
- Water.
Mm.
Tequila...
Mm.
So guess who I ran into.
Richie?
He was asking about you.
Yeah, well,
Tell him I moved to Alaska.
Or mars.
Come on!
What, did rehab
turn you into a nun?
No.
I just don't...
I don't need his trouble.
So, that's that.
You know, he tattooed
your name on his arm.
He did?
Mm-hmm.
Right here.
Yeah...
Yeah, no...
Seriously...
He's trouble.
This makeup palette is amazing.
What brush is that?
It's the...
Let's see...
Um, it really doesn't matter
what brush you're using,
- As long as it's...
- (Otis barks)
Dad!
Hi. Hi!
Dad... Really?
Hi.
This dog completely
destroyed my tiktok.
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry about that.
We were unaware
that you were "working".
- It's not funny.
- It's kinda funny.
Is it funny?
How long is this dog
gonna be staying here?
Otis?
Who knows?
A couple weeks.
Till Grace gets on her feet.
- Hi.
- Hi, Janie.
Hi, honey.
Let me know if you need
any help with the tiktoking...
Toking...
You know,
it might do her some good
To get out of that bedroom
once in a while.
Maybe a little exercise?
Maybe...
Maybe she should
swim with Grace.
- Toni and Grace?
- Yeah.
I think it would be nice
If they built
a relationship together.
She swims every day.
They could have some fun.
Yeah, it's just been
a couple hard years with Grace.
I know.
It's a lot to process
for a teenage girl.
I mean, it's a lot
to process for me,
You know what I mean?
I understand,
but this time's different.
She's better.
You can see it in her eyes,
can't you?
I really wish
every conversation we had
Wasn't about how messed up
Gracie is.
I'm working on it, okay?
I know, I know.
Want to do a makeup tutorial?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Grace: This is rex's.
How can I help you today?
A little gift from an admirer.
Um... Yes.
Sorry, table for how many?
Okay, perfect.
Thank you.
See you Saturday.

(phone buzzing)
Hey.
Hey! You picked up!
Mm-hmm.
Come on, babe.
You can do better than that.
You like the necklace?
Yeah, it was, um...
It was really nice, Richie.
I just...
There's no buts, all right?
There's no strings attached.
Just want you to know
how proud of you I am.
Clean and sober...
You got this, babe!
You know, that isn't to say
I don't miss partying with you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Theo, come say hi.
Someone wants to say hi.
Come here. Come here.
Say hi to Gracie.
Hi, Gracie!
Hey, Theo!
You being a good boy?
Richie: Tell her you miss her.
I miss you, Gracie!
I miss you.
Richie: Get your jammies on.
Go on.
How's he doing?
Yeah, he's great, you know?
The old lady's a bitch...
As usual.
Keeps threatening
to cut off my visitation.
But he's good.
He always asks about you.
So...
Is it true that
You got a tattoo
of my name on your wrist?
You don't believe me?
No.
I'll show you.
Naw...
I'll wait to show you in person.
Look, no, Richie.
I can't.
I...
I need to get my life together.
I need to be careful, you know?
Okay.
No worries, babe.
I want you to stay healthy.
I'll just...
Keep waiting...
And, you know,
Sending you the good vibes.
I gotta go.
Theo just put his pjs
on backwards.
Remember the good times, okay?
Okay.
Bye.
(groans)
Damn it.
(water running)
Janie: You're really sweet,
you know?
I've been thinking about
what you said...
About detours.
Get in here.
I mean, you met me,
And I was...
Divorced.
I had...
Two teenaged kids.
It was...
The opposite of easy.
You dated me anyway.
Why did you date me?
I thought you were rich.
You gave me a second chance.
I'm really grateful to you.
And Grace is getting
another chance,
And I really...
Want her to embrace it,
you know?
Me too.
And, hey, I'm getting
a second chance, too.
♫ ♫
- Grace, hey.
- Hey.
Are you working?
No. What's up?
Okay, I'm so glad
I ran into you.
I need your help.
Richie's kid, Theo, got hurt.
What?
Yeah, and he needs
to go to the hospital,
And Richie
doesn't have insurance,
And he needs cash.
Okay.
Can you bring this to him?
I was just about
to go to the pool.
Can't you get it to him?
I know it's a lot to ask,
but I've got a shift.
Okay.
Yes. Okay.
Yeah, okay, just go.
Thank you.
Richie will let you know
where to meet him.
Okay.
- You're the best.
- Okay.
So can I take the car?
Oh, right, the car.
- Mom?
- Yeah?
I wouldn't be asking
if it wasn't an emergency.
I know, honey,
but it's kind of toni's car.
And who is this child?
It's a friend of red's.
Red is?
She's a waitress
from the restaurant.
She waited on us.
I mean, she would do it,
But she has a shift,
So I'm just trying to help.
Right.
You really
don't trust me, do you?
Honey, I do trust you.
I...
Worry about your choices
sometimes.
No, you don't.
You're the one
who's coming into my room,
Telling me
how proud you are of me,
And how much you believe in me.
But you don't even trust me...
At all.
Look, you know what,
I don't need your help.
I'll ask someone else.
No, I'm sorry... I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have hesitated.
Honestly.
Forgive me
take the car. Take the car.
Honey, please.
Thank you.
I will be back by 3:00,
I promise.
- Okay.
- You don't have to worry.
- I'm okay.
- I know, I'm sorry.
Why don't you take Otis?
(gasps)
Buddy!
Do you want to go
on a road trip!
Come on!
Okay, okay, we will be back.
Thank you.
I love you.
I love you.
I do, I do.
Okay, okay, let's go.
♫ ♫
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
♫ ♫
Hey. Thanks for doing this.
Yeah.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Is Theo going to be okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
He is now, so thank you.
Good.
Yeah.
You look... you look really good.
I should go.
Okay, yeah.
(Otis barks)
(Otis barks)
(barks)
Shut up.

Burt: Perfect.
There you go.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- No, you do the honors.
- All right.
Burt: Honey?
Just right next?
Right next, yeah.
Right there.
Perfect.
Next page.
This is the insurance.
So exciting.
Burt: Keep the train moving.
Yeah. Next one. Right there.
(man) This is the insurance.
- That is.
- All right.
Burt: Okay, kids.
And you guys are gonna have
copies of these emailed to you.
♫ ♫
Okay, and just like that,
Last page.
Okay, I'll do this,
and you can do the honors.
Thank you.
You know what, I have
to take care of something.
Congratulations, you guys.
I'll explain it to you later.
Life of a realtor... never ends.
Congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Thanks so much.
(line ringing)
(phone buzzing)
(buzzing)
Dammit.
Grace, now just be quiet.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Grace!
Grace: What are you doing?
I gave you the money.
What do you want?
It's my rules now, Grace, okay?
What are you doing?
What are you...
I can't be with you.
I cannot.
I need my life back together.
Do you understand this?
I can't.
What do you want?
I want you
to stop talking, okay?
You're giving me a headache.
You should see your face.
Oh, man!
You have no idea
what's going on, do you?
Hey, hey, Grace.
Want to see my tattoo?
Grace: What?
Oops. I forgot to get it.
Is this some joke?
Is it?
What is happening?
Wait.
No!
Richie! Let me go!
Let me go!
Sorry, babe.
We're just getting started.
Richie!
♫ ♫
No!
Help. Help!
(sobbing)
(screams)
(Grace sobbing)
Disgusting animals.
♫ ♫
Yeah, I know.
I'll pay you time and a half
for this one.
♫ ♫
(phone buzzing)
Hello?
Yes?
What?
Janie: Why hasn't she called?
What was he doing in new jersey?
I have no idea.
That's 40 miles away!
Maybe I should call the police.
It's too soon.
They can't do anything.
Well, what do you
suggest we do? Nothing?
Toni, can you take Otis
for a walk, please?
Janie: Yes, please.
- Thank you.
- Janie: Thank you.
What?
Maybe we should face the facts.
She's not doing drugs.
She was running an errand
for a friend,
And I believe her, Burt.
Right, right.
Janie, this is
not our first rodeo.
Okay? We can't be
in denial about this.
It doesn't make any sense, Burt.
She cares about that dog
More than
she cares about herself.
She'd never leave him
alone in a car.
It just wouldn't happen.
It just wouldn't happen.
It just...
It just doesn't make sense.
I think something
happened to her.
I know something
happened to her.
I just can't do this.
Oh, man, you are still
just as good as I remember.
You're putting your clothes on
like you're going somewhere.
What are you doing?
I'm going outside.
Grace, Grace.
You're not going anywhere.
Grace: This is insane.
- Grace.
- What is happening?
We're a team now, okay?
What are you talking about?
What...
You're gonna make me
a ton of money, okay?
There's like
a billion guys out there
Who'd want a girl like you.
Look at you.
No!
What are you...
Wait, did you guys plan this?
Yeah... Yeah.
Wasn't it obvious?
Are you serious?
Come on.
Was any of it real?
Theo? The notes?
This could be a lot of fun
if you just...
Give in.
What are you doing with me?
What are you doing?
Richie, what...
Stop moving, Grace.
Stop moving.
What are you doing?
(screams)
(choking)
Whoo!
Don't tell me that's not fun.
I'm having fun.
Hon'...
Come back to bed.
She's out there somewhere.

We're gonna find her.
I know we will.

Morning, sunshine.
How'd you sleep?
Grace: Water.
Richie: Water? Okay.
Here you go.
(coughs)
Grace, stop fighting me, okay?
Stop fighting me.
Grace, listen.
You're gonna learn, all right?
You're just a piece of meat,
Grace, okay?
No! What do you want?
Nobody's coming for you.
You think your parents
are gonna pay
For some loser druggy
piece of trash? Huh?
You think they're gonna pay
For some loser druggy
piece of trash?
I'm the only person who cares
about you, Grace, okay?
Don't say that.
Don't. Don't, Richie.
Please. Please!
Richie! What? What...
What do you want?
They're not coming for you,
Grace, okay?
Why? Why are you saying this?
You know how much time and money
red and I invested in you?
What are you gonna do to me?
Please, Richie, please.
We're just
getting started, baby.
Please. Please!
Please don't start...
You'll be okay.
You're gonna be great.
Please. Please!
Please!
♫ ♫
So it's been two days
since you last saw her?
She borrowed the car
to do a favor for a friend.
Okay.
That's what she said.
That's what happened.
Not now.
Now, we know, of course,
That Grace has a history
with drugs.
She's got prior arrests.
Janie: No.
I mean, yes,
But that was years ago.
She's clean now.
She's clean now.
She's been out of rehab
for a month.
This is not about her using.
This is about what's happening
to her right now.
Okay.
Well, I think I have
all the information I need.
I'll put that into our database.
Janie: Oh, that is
such a good idea.
You're going to enter it
into your database?
Has that ever
worked for you before?
Did you find anybody like that?
You're just gonna type it on in,
And then,
gee, we're gonna find her!
Is there a lot of success
with that?
I do wish there was more
we could do.
So why don't you do it?
- Janie...
- What?
Why isn't he...
Why aren't you doing anything?
Janie, Grace is an adult.
Yes, I understand that.
Who's missing.
Appreciate it...
But there's nothing here
That indicates
that a crime has taken place.
Something happened to her!
Adults are free to come and go
And even disappear
if they want to, okay?
Oh.
So, honestly,
our hands really are tied.
Okay...
And that's exactly
what you would do
With your own daughter, right?
You'd just put in her name
in the database, call it a day?
I don't think so.
What would you do
if it were your daughter?
If it were my daughter,
I'd follow the drugs.
Oh...
Find out who her dealer was
And who she gets high with.
You ask them some questions,
something's gonna turn up.
Okay.
- Thanks for the tip.
- You're welcome.
Thanks, detective.
Burt: Hey.
Janie: Unbelievable.
She's out there somewhere.
They're not even gonna find her
Because they don't
care about her...
Just like you!
Nobody cares about her, Burt.
Dammit! That's not fair.
I'm here.
- I'm here with you!
- Yeah.
Okay, I just don't have
rose-colored glasses on.
What?
I don't have
rose-colored glasses on.
Neither do I.
This is my family, too.
Okay? It is.
And it's my job to protect it...
And I can't let Grace
destroy it again.
Oh, please!
She didn't destroy it, Burt,
I did...
When I kicked her
out of the house
Told her that she couldn't
come back in,
And they found her
on the curb the next morning,
Almost dead.
She made her choice.
No. No.
No.
She was a teenager!
I am the mother!
I'm not gonna
fail her twice, Burt.
So you pick your side.
(vomiting)
Hey, hey, hey.
I got you.
Hey, come on.
(vomiting)
I can't hurt your face, can I?
I own you, bitch.
I own you!
(vomiting)
Look, mrs. Atkinson,
I've always been really sorry
about what happened to Grace.
I never expected things...
You know,
Would get
so out of control, for her.
I appreciate that.
What I need to know
Is if she has
contacted you lately.
Have you seen her?
Me? Look, I've been clean
since high school.
She went her way, and I...
Went mine.
It's beautiful.
I need to find her.
Oh, no. Is she...
Is she using again?
I don't know.
But it doesn't matter.
Either way, I need to find her,
And if she is using,
I need to know...
Where she gets her drugs.
Look, I told you...
I'm clean.
- Beth...
- I'm out of that whole thing.
How would I know
where she would get drugs?
Beth, I need a name.
Or the name of somebody
who knows a name.
She's...
Missing.
Please!
You were her best friend.
I...
Just need your help.

Help me!
Help!
Help! Help!
Help!
Help!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Like I said, right?
Hot. Young.
Derek: She's just another
16-year-old Mexican girl.
Richie: No.
She's broken in good.
No complaints
from her hot little ass.
I'll give you two gs.
What!
She's an atm machine!
She's 17 years old!
She's worth twice that.
Take it or leave it.
I got three others
coming from Mexico.
Come on.
I'm like an Ellis island.
Okay, well, the next one
I got's white.
Full-on u.S. Of a.
Cheerleader type.
Derek: Yeah?
When's she ready?
A few more days.
Give me some time.
You're not getting her
for less than five grand.
Okay.
Break her in, just not too hard.
No one likes a zombie skank.
And hose that one down,
I'll be back at midnight
and I'll buy her from you.
♫ ♫
Yes!
I guess there's no point
in asking you to come to bed.
I knew... I knew...
I knew the doctor
was giving her pain pills.
No, Janie, this was not...
And I didn't stop it.
It was right under my nose
and I didn't stop it.
This was not your fault.
It was not your fault.
It was.
You can't think like that.
Honey...
It's not your fault.
Okay?
(school bell rings)
Come on, don't be shy.
You've got to include me, huh?
So, how much you guys need?
So her again?
Come on, man.
Okay, light me up.
She's a little cutie, huh?
You're a dirty
son-of-a-bitch, you.
So, what, shotguns
every hour on the hour,
With some momentum here, boys.
Hi.
Excuse me.
So what time?
Come on.
Are you cray?
Who's asking?
I'm Grace atkinson's mom.
I don't know her.
There's no reason
to be nervous or lie,
I just...
I don't want any trouble.
I just...
Lady, I told you...
Look, I just want to know
if you've seen her lately.
What? She's hurt or something?
That's what I want to know.
I really...
I really want to know
if she's...
If she's using again.
Please.
Anything you know.
Yeah.
Heard she was out of rehab.
Saw her.
Talked about some rims.
Some what?
Oxy.
I tried to sell her some.
She turned me down.
Told me she was staying
straight this time.
She meant it.
She's good people.
Sat next to her
in eighth-grade English.
Yeah?
She is.
You're all good kids.
You're welcome.
Now, this...
This is a sandwich.
I love the classics.
That's what this place
is all about.
Really,
I learned it all from mom.
How's she doing?
I love your mom,
And she's steadfast
in her belief in Grace.
I don't know
if she can go through it again.
Even as strong as she is.
I don't know.
I wouldn't underestimate
your mom.
She's one of the strongest
people I've ever met.
I know.
It's just...
You know, Grace and I
were always so close,
And...
There was nothing
we couldn't tell each other,
And then...
I don't know,
I just feel helpless
'cause there's nothing
I can do for her,
And then I start to feel guilty
For not being more of a brother.
I can only imagine
how mom feels.
This is what parents do.
Loving unconditionally.
That's the deal.
Your mom...
She feels the same way
about both of you.
Just because I don't say it,
Don't think
that you're unappreciated.
Especially by mom.
Thanks.
- (phone ringing)
- hang on.
Rex's.
Mom?
Yeah, he's...
He's right here.
No way.
They found the car.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, yeah, he's on his way.
Okay.
I'll go.
I'll call you shortly.
Yeah.
Drink, you bitch.
You got a job now.
Take it.
Are you listening to me?
Hey, hey!
Hey, look at me, okay?
You're gonna go in there
and exchange what you bought.
For cash.
All right?
Don't let them
put it back on your card.
I just want to go home.
- Are you getting this?
- Please.
Listen to me.
I'm gonna be right behind you,
all right?
One mistake...
And I'll kill you.
I will kill you.
Say it.
You'll kill me.
Be a good girl and I'll get you
something to eat, all right?
Get out.

Janie: We need your help!
Burt: Hi, hi. Sorry.
We were just

You guys got
a security camera there.
Can we take a look
at that footage?
No. Nails only.
We have policy.
Not possible.
Please.
My daughter is missing.
She parked her car
in that parking lot
And then she went missing.
I think she's in trouble.
Won't you please
help us find her?
Please!
What's the date?
- Today's the 16th?
- Yeah, five days ago.
The 11th.
I gave her the car
in the afternoon.
That's the 11th.
There. Right there.
That's the car.
That's her!
That is her!
You'll eat
when I tell you to eat.
You'll breathe

Janie: You see, right there,
he is controlling her movement.
If you punch in...
You can punch in
and maybe identify him?
Can you blow it up?
(detective) I'm just not
seeing an abduction here.
It looks to me
Like they're pretty familiar
with each other.
Okay.
But he's forcing her to move.
She does not move like that.
Or he's just embracing her
and trying to hold her up.
No. Look again.
Can you not find out
who that guy is?
Look, I'm sorry,
mr. And mrs. Atkinson,
I really am,
But I'm just not seeing
what you're seeing.
I have another appointment.
We'll keep trying.
Please.
Richie: Yeah, give me a...
Give me an 8 ball and 20 grams.
Gots a special on some rox.
Richie: Nah. Maybe...
Maybe later.
What about roofies?
What's that for?
Richie: What do you mean
what's that for?
Come on.
(dealer) You guys
have a good night.
Richie: Yeah, yeah.
I will.
(dealer) Let me know
if you need another.
All right, man.

(brakes screeching)
- (man) Sorry! Are you okay?
- Richie: I got you.
No, no, no.
She'll be fine.
- Come on.
- So sorry.
No, we're fine.
She'll be okay.
She's fine. She's good.
Grace: Help me! Help me!
Take her to the hospital.
Yeah, yeah!
I got her.
Sure you're okay?
Yeah, yeah.
She'll be okay.
Get back in the car.
Now. Now.
No! Get off!
Shut up!
(sobs)
Okay?
(Grace screams)
Shut up, okay?
Shut up.
Shut up.
Please, please.
Richie, what do you want?
My dad used to say
That effort
was as important as trying.
And you tried.
It was a good effort.
- Okay?
- Don't do this.
- Don't, please.
- And this is for you.
- Please.
- This is your reward, okay?
No...

(Grace sobs)

You asked everybody?
The entire staff?
Everyone.
No one recognizes him.
Mom, maybe the cop was right.
- Maybe she...
- She's not using.
But if she is,
that guy could be anyone.
Her dealer,
Some guy who found her
in her car
When she was...
Mom,
I don't want to see you
go through this again.
I love Grace,
But maybe we need
to learn to stop...
Give me the key.
- What?
- The key to her room.
I should have searched it first.
Do you have the key?
I already searched it.
There's nothing there.

She hasn't been at work

I've called,
I've messaged her... nothing.
Right around

Honey...
Is she friends with Grace?
Who's this...
Who's this Richie guy?
She and Grace
seemed pretty friendly.
I have no clue who Richie is.
So maybe she does.
Do you have her address?
Uh, yeah,
It is probably
on her application...
But, mom,
You don't know

Honey, I don't know anything,

She hasn't shown up for days.
We really need to talk to her.
We need to talk to her

She skipped out.
Owes me three months rent.

This is private property.

Meaning what?
He's a drug addict?
No, no.
He's mainly he's into roofies.

"Grab girls"?

Date 'em. Rape 'em. Sell 'em.
Whatever.
What? Sell 'em what?
Sell 'em drugs?
Do you live in a bubble?
He sells...
The girls?
Don't ever come back here again.
You're gonna believe
a drug dealer
With a crazy story
about sex rings or whatever?
He didn't mention...
Sex rings!
We were talking about Richie.
And what he does!
All right.
He sells girls.
Is that it?
That's what he says he does.
- Yeah...
- That's what...
- Okay.
- He says he does.
Janie. Honey.
White middle-class girls
don't get sold.
Okay, that only happens
to poor immigrants,
Who...
I don't know,
are here illegally,
And don't speak English.
Not to girls like Grace.
Okay...
It's the only lead we have.
What is wrong with you

Jesus!
Honey, you're not seeing

Right in front of your face!
They're there!
You're just not looking at it.
You're not seeing the signs!
Yeah, you're right, I'm not.

Everybody else!
Oh, good!
Then I'll just believe
everybody else
And go along with them
And just leave my daughter
in the gutter!
That's not...
I get it. I get it.
No, you don't, no, you don't.
She's relapsed.
Just admit it.
Okay, let's go with that lie.
Okay, then why haven't you
checked her credit card?
Huh?
You don't want to know...
Because if it's like last time,
And she relapsed,
The card'll be maxed, right?
Right?
- Yes.
- Tell me I'm wrong.

We're on a family account.
My name is Burt Atkinson.
And the last four digits
of your social insurance number?
6307.
I see that the card has been
suspended, mr. Atkinson.
Um, suspended!
Why?
We tried contacting
the cardholder
About the suspicious activity...
I'm sorry.
What kind
of suspicious activity?
We call it "return fraud".
It's a series of card purchases
And then exchanging them
for cash.
Mr. Atkinson, do you have
The card in your possession
right now?
Uh, no, but thank you,
I have all the information
I need.
Goddammit.
I don't care where she is

"By some estimates,
There are up to 50,000...
Sex-trafficked victims
Every year
in the united states."
You said you saw
your daughter last
At the interstate?
Janie: Uh-huh.
It's called the heroin highway.
Drugs flow along that interstate
like water.
Easy on, easy off...
And cheap motels
all along the way.
And where there's drugs,
there's trafficking.
Vulnerable girls
are easy scores.
They seduce them,
They drug them,
And they break them.
After ten days, they sell them...
Some for internet sites.
All those motels
up and down the interstate?
Behind those doors,
it's all going down right now.
They sell them?
Ten days?
Ten days...
That's usually how long
it takes to break them.
Ten days.
How long
has your daughter been missing?
Eight days.

Hope you enjoy the show

Grace: Love is powerful,
And my mother's love
has never wavered,
Even after
three stints in rehab.
She believed in me
Before I was even capable
of believing in myself,
So now I'm determined
not to disappoint her,
My family,
But, mostly, I don't want
to disappoint myself.
My survival depends on it.
(dog barks happily)
Good boy.
Good boy.
Come on, come on.
Left side?
Yeah.
Look who I brought!
(gasps)
Grace: Otis! Hi!
(laughs)
Good boy!
I got you a little something.
Mom, you do not have to keep
buying me things.
I know, but I like to spoil you.
I do have clothes.
I know you do.
So I hope you're hungry,
Because your brother
is gonna cook up
Something very special for us
in the kitchen.
Yes.
- Mr. Exceptional.
- Oh, come on.
Don't be like that.
He's worked hard.
He wants to show off
a little bit.
Right. Right.
Right, right, right. Okay.
Hey, I know that
This has been
really hard on you,
And everyone,
But I am committed
to making this work.
- Without a doubt.
- Okay.
Let's eat.
Otis, show the way.
This way.
Come on.
(indistinct conversation)
Burt: I am betting hungry.
(indistinct conversation)
Oh, here we go, food.
Oh, my goodness.
There you go.
Oh, wow.
Just the way you like it.
Thank you.
A little rule breaker.
Janie: That's me.
He begged me to come.
Grace: Did he?
(laughing)
Janie: Look at this.
Thank you.
(gasping)
I just hit 2,000 followers!
Burt: That's good news.
- That's great.
- Isn't that good news?
I don't really know.
Is it?
(laughing)
Did you not have internet?
When you were, like, you know?
- In rehab?
- I mean, it was just...
It was just not something
I really focused on.
Maybe we don't need to care
About our phones
at the table, huh?
Yeah, honey,
let's put the phone down
While we eat the food.
Janie: Come on.
This is a big day.
Okay, let's have a toast.
- Oh.
- All right.
- Okay.
- To my girl.
Welcome home. Welcome back.
One month.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Welcome home, Grace.
- Welcome home.
Congratulations, Grace.
- Cheers, darling.
- Cheers.
All right, guys,
I'm just gonna
check on the kitchen.
- I'll be right back.
- Janie: All right.
You outdid yourself, kiddo.
I'm actually just gonna
stretch my legs real quick.
I'll be right back. Okay?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
- Guys, eat.
- Okay.
Yes, enjoy it.
I feel like
it's missing strawberries.
Can I ask for strawberries?
Sorry about that, guys.

Janie: I'm going to go down
and say bye to Grace.
Knock-knock.
- Hey.
- Hey.
It was great having breakfast
with the whole family.
I wanted to say goodbye.
Okay.
I love this.
It's not a shirt.
(laughs)
Yeah.
I don't know, I just...
I don't know if I'll ever
be the same as I was.
You don't need to be.
It's a beautiful part
of who you are.
I don't want you to forget it.
Mm-hmm.
♫ ♫
Janie: It was perfect!
Love you!
Thank you!
Well... What did you think?
I thought...
I don't know.
What is it?
Nothing.
Doesn't look like nothing.
How do you think she was?
Grace? I don't know.
She seemed like...
- Like what?
- Grace.
What does that mean?
Do you think she was withdrawn?
Or what?
No, no, no.
Hey, hey.
I just think
we need to give her...
I don't know, some space,
that's all.
Yeah.
Well, I'll try to find
the new normal...
Of how to just be with her,
But I get a little bit concerned
that I'm...
I don't know,
That I'm looking after her
too much,
That I'm looking at
every move that she makes
Because I'm afraid of...
Well, maybe I'm a little bit
afraid of her...
Relapsing.
Well, that's not unreasonable.
Mm-hmm.
You do need to protect yourself.
Last time was bad.
Okay, but she needs
100% from us...
100% all in.
All in.
She's not going to be alone.
No, she's not.
Hello!
Are we leaving or what?
- The influencer demands a ride.
- Yes, miss, yes, miss.
- Your majesty.
- Can you take him?
- Yes, I will.
- Thanks.
Hey, can I be an influencer?
No.
- I think I could be.
- You can influence me.
Oh, my god.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're "the bird".
That was a long time ago.
Outstanding athlete,
senior year,
Undefeated at every meet,
Three years mvp for diving.
How do you know all that?
Your picture's
still on the awards board...
But everybody knows about you.
At least everyone
who hangs out here.
Yeah, like I said, that was...
That was another life.
I do not dive anymore.
I really want to do
the two-and-a-half reverse tuck.
That was your dive.
Mm-hmm.
Give me some tips?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Sweet!
♫ ♫
You okay?
Yeah.
It's just
the last time I was up here,
I almost broke my neck.
♫ ♫
Look, arm and leg position...
That's all just technique.
The best advice I can give you
isn't technique.
When you are
all the way up here,
It is just you...
In the whole world.
Okay, and once your feet
leave this platform,
You have about two seconds
Before you hit that water
at 35 miles per hour.
So the only thing
that matters...
Is that you believe in yourself.
100%.
Okay?
You got this.
♫ ♫
Hey.
How's it going?
I liked seeing you
up on that platform.
Yeah, it was fun.
Looked like you might even,
I don't know, dive again.
Right.
I don't know,
I just, I feel like I...
I've lost something.
A part of me.
I'm not... I'm not...
I'm not me anymore.
You know?
You're going to get it back.
You are going to be diving,
You are going to be teaching,
If that's what you want to do,
You are going to get
Your fearless,
brilliant self back.
Mom, how do you...
How do you keep doing this?
How do you...
How do you have faith in me?
Over and over again.
After all the stuff
put you guys through.
I'm your mom.
And I trust you.
I don't even trust myself!
You know?
Thank you.
I know you're afraid...
But it's going to be okay.
I promise.
Yeah.
Janie: How many kids?
- (woman) I think three.
- (man) Three!
(woman)
we've talked about this.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Oh! Oh, we need a picture.
Of course, of course.
Come on, come on.
In front of the house.
Here we go, here we go.
What are you going to say?
That's her department.
Go. Three, two, one.
Yes!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
We're so excited.
I can't wait to start decorating
the baby's room.
So, the closing
is on Wednesday at 2:00.
By 4:00, this place
is gonna be yours.
We're just so happy with it
And, you know,
the community and everything.
It's... So hard to find a town
Not riddled with drug problems
these days.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you so much.
We'll see you on Wednesday.
We'll see you
on Wednesday at the office.
All right.
Oh, I remember
being her, pregnant,
And buying my first house.
Thinking that
if I had the right house
In the perfect neighborhood,
Then everything would be okay,
And I wouldn't have
any detours in my life.
Yeah, well,
we were all innocent once.
(laughs)
see you, guys.
Well, if you didn't have
any detours,
Then you wouldn't
have gotten divorced,
And we...
Wouldn't be together.
You're cute.
I am cute.
Oh, but you know what...
I have to show
the Brighton house at 2:00.
You want to join?
I can't.
I have to work the desk.
My boss is a slave driver.
Oh...
I thought you married him.
Oh, yeah.
- I did.
- Okay.
Have a good day.
- Okay. See you at dinner.
- Mm-hmm.
♫ ♫
That was a long shift.
Yeah.
Should we unwind
Before you head back
to your little basement?
Cheers.
- Tequila?
- Water.
Mm.
Tequila...
Mm.
So guess who I ran into.
Richie?
He was asking about you.
Yeah, well,
Tell him I moved to Alaska.
Or mars.
Come on!
What, did rehab
turn you into a nun?
No.
I just don't...
I don't need his trouble.
So, that's that.
You know, he tattooed
your name on his arm.
He did?
Mm-hmm.
Right here.
Yeah...
Yeah, no...
Seriously...
He's trouble.
This makeup palette is amazing.
What brush is that?
It's the...
Let's see...
Um, it really doesn't matter
what brush you're using,
- As long as it's...
- (Otis barks)
Dad!
Hi. Hi!
Dad... Really?
Hi.
This dog completely
destroyed my tiktok.
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry about that.
We were unaware
that you were "working".
- It's not funny.
- It's kinda funny.
Is it funny?
How long is this dog
gonna be staying here?
Otis?
Who knows?
A couple weeks.
Till Grace gets on her feet.
- Hi.
- Hi, Janie.
Hi, honey.
Let me know if you need
any help with the tiktoking...
Toking...
You know,
it might do her some good
To get out of that bedroom
once in a while.
Maybe a little exercise?
Maybe...
Maybe she should
swim with Grace.
- Toni and Grace?
- Yeah.
I think it would be nice
If they built
a relationship together.
She swims every day.
They could have some fun.
Yeah, it's just been
a couple hard years with Grace.
I know.
It's a lot to process
for a teenage girl.
I mean, it's a lot
to process for me,
You know what I mean?
I understand,
but this time's different.
She's better.
You can see it in her eyes,
can't you?
I really wish
every conversation we had
Wasn't about how messed up
Gracie is.
I'm working on it, okay?
I know, I know.
Want to do a makeup tutorial?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Grace: This is rex's.
How can I help you today?
A little gift from an admirer.
Um... Yes.
Sorry, table for how many?
Okay, perfect.
Thank you.

Yeah, it was, um...
It was really nice, Richie.
I just...
There's no buts, all right?
There's no strings attached.
Just want you to know
how proud of you I am.
Clean and sober...
You got this, babe!
You know, that isn't to say
I don't miss partying with you.
Hey, hey, hey.
Theo, come say hi.
Someone wants to say hi.
Come here. Come here.
Say hi to Gracie.
Hi, Gracie!
Hey, Theo!
You being a good boy?
Richie: Tell her you miss her.
I miss you, Gracie!
I miss you.
Richie: Get your jammies on.
Go on.
How's he doing?
Yeah, he's great, you know?
The old lady's a bitch...
As usual.
Keeps threatening
to cut off my visitation.
But he's good.
He always asks about you.
So...
Is it true that
You got a tattoo
of my name on your wrist?
You don't believe me?
No.
I'll show you.
Naw...
I'll wait to show you in person.
Look, no, Richie.
I can't.
I...
I need to get my life together.
I need to be careful, you know?
Okay.
No worries, babe.
I want you to stay healthy.
I'll just...
Keep waiting...
And, you know,
Sending you the good vibes.
I gotta go.
Theo just put his pjs
on backwards.
Remember the good times, okay?
Okay.
Bye.
(groans)
Damn it.
(water running)
Janie: You're really sweet,
you know?
I've been thinking about
what you said...
About detours.
Get in here.
I mean, you met me,
And I was...
Divorced.
I had...
Two teenaged kids.
It was...
The opposite of easy.
You dated me anyway.
Why did you date me?
I thought you were rich.
You gave me a second chance.
I'm really grateful to you.
And Grace is getting
another chance,
And I really...
Want her to embrace it,
you know?
Me too.
And, hey, I'm getting
a second chance, too.
♫ ♫
- Grace, hey.
- Hey.
Are you working?
No. What's up?
Okay, I'm so glad
I ran into you.
I need your help.
Richie's kid, Theo, got hurt.
What?
Yeah, and he needs
to go to the hospital,
And Richie
doesn't have insurance,
And he needs cash.
Okay.
Can you bring this to him?
I was just about
to go to the pool.
Can't you get it to him?
I know it's a lot to ask,
but I've got a shift.
Okay.
Yes. Okay.
Yeah, okay, just go.
Thank you.
Richie will let you know
where to meet him.
Okay.
- You're the best.
- Okay.
So can I take the car?
Oh, right, the car.
- Mom?
- Yeah?
I wouldn't be asking
if it wasn't an emergency.
I know, honey,
but it's kind of toni's car.
And who is this child?
It's a friend of red's.
Red is?
She's a waitress
from the restaurant.
She waited on us.
I mean, she would do it,
But she has a shift,
So I'm just trying to help.
Right.
You really
don't trust me, do you?
Honey, I do trust you.
I...
Worry about your choices
sometimes.
No, you don't.
You're the one
who's coming into my room,
Telling me
how proud you are of me,
And how much you believe in me.
But you don't even trust me...
At all.
Look, you know what,
I don't need your help.
I'll ask someone else.
No, I'm sorry... I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have hesitated.
Honestly.
Forgive me
take the car. Take the car.
Honey, please.
Thank you.
I will be back by 3:00,
I promise.
- Okay.
- You don't have to worry.
- I'm okay.
- I know, I'm sorry.
Why don't you take Otis?

Do you want to go

What?
Janie: Why hasn't she called?
What was he doing in new jersey?
I have no idea.
That's 40 miles away!
Maybe I should call the police.
It's too soon.
They can't do anything.
Well, what do you
suggest we do? Nothing?
Toni, can you take Otis
for a walk, please?
Janie: Yes, please.
- Thank you.
- Janie: Thank you.
What?
Maybe we should face the facts.
She's not doing drugs.
She was running an errand
for a friend,
And I believe her, Burt.
Right, right.
Janie, this is
not our first rodeo.
Okay? We can't be
in denial about this.
It doesn't make any sense, Burt.
She cares about that dog
More than
she cares about herself.
She'd never leave him
alone in a car.
It just wouldn't happen.
It just wouldn't happen.
It just...
It just doesn't make sense.
I think something
happened to her.
I know something
happened to her.
I just can't do this.
Oh, man, you are still

You're putting your clothes on

You're not going anywhere.
Grace: This is insane.

We're a team now, okay?
What are you talking about?
What...
You're gonna make me

There's like

Who'd want a girl like you.
Look at you.
No!
What are you...
Wait, did you guys plan this?
Yeah... Yeah.
Wasn't it obvious?
Are you serious?
Come on.
Was any of it real?
Theo? The notes?

So it's been two days
since you last saw her?
She borrowed the car
to do a favor for a friend.
Okay.
That's what she said.
That's what happened.
Not now.
Now, we know, of course,
That Grace has a history
with drugs.
She's got prior arrests.
Janie: No.
I mean, yes,
But that was years ago.
She's clean now.
She's clean now.
She's been out of rehab
for a month.
This is not about her using.
This is about what's happening
to her right now.
Okay.
Well, I think I have
all the information I need.
I'll put that into our database.
Janie: Oh, that is
such a good idea.
You're going to enter it
into your database?
Has that ever
worked for you before?
Did you find anybody like that?
You're just gonna type it on in,
And then,
gee, we're gonna find her!
Is there a lot of success
with that?
I do wish there was more
we could do.
So why don't you do it?
- Janie...
- What?
Why isn't he...
Why aren't you doing anything?
Janie, Grace is an adult.
Yes, I understand that.
Who's missing.
Appreciate it...
But there's nothing here
That indicates
that a crime has taken place.
Something happened to her!
Adults are free to come and go
And even disappear
if they want to, okay?
Oh.
So, honestly,
our hands really are tied.
Okay...
And that's exactly
what you would do
With your own daughter, right?
You'd just put in her name
in the database, call it a day?
I don't think so.
What would you do
if it were your daughter?
If it were my daughter,
I'd follow the drugs.
Oh...
Find out who her dealer was
And who she gets high with.
You ask them some questions,
something's gonna turn up.
Okay.
- Thanks for the tip.
- You're welcome.
Thanks, detective.
Burt: Hey.
Janie: Unbelievable.
She's out there somewhere.
They're not even gonna find her
Because they don't
care about her...
Just like you!
Nobody cares about her, Burt.
Dammit! That's not fair.
I'm here.
- I'm here with you!
- Yeah.
Okay, I just don't have
rose-colored glasses on.
What?
I don't have
rose-colored glasses on.
Neither do I.
This is my family, too.
Okay? It is.
And it's my job to protect it...
And I can't let Grace
destroy it again.
Oh, please!
She didn't destroy it, Burt,
I did...
When I kicked her
out of the house
Told her that she couldn't
come back in,
And they found her
on the curb the next morning,
Almost dead.
She made her choice.
No. No.
No.
She was a teenager!
I am the mother!
I'm not gonna
fail her twice, Burt.
So you pick your side.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, come on.

I can't hurt your face, can I?
I own you, bitch.

Look, mrs. Atkinson,
I've always been really sorry
about what happened to Grace.
I never expected things...
You know,
Would get
so out of control, for her.
I appreciate that.
What I need to know
Is if she has
contacted you lately.
Have you seen her?
Me? Look, I've been clean
since high school.
She went her way, and I...
Went mine.
It's beautiful.
I need to find her.
Oh, no. Is she...
Is she using again?
I don't know.
But it doesn't matter.
Either way, I need to find her,
And if she is using,
I need to know...
Where she gets her drugs.
Look, I told you...
I'm clean.
- Beth...
- I'm out of that whole thing.
How would I know
where she would get drugs?
Beth, I need a name.
Or the name of somebody
who knows a name.
She's...
Missing.
Please!
You were her best friend.
I...
Just need your help.
There's a guy named cray.
"There's a guy named cray."

Help me!
Help!
Help! Help!
Help!
Help!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Like I said, right?
Hot. Young.
Derek: She's just another
16-year-old Mexican girl.
Richie: No.
She's broken in good.
No complaints
from her hot little ass.
I'll give you two gs.
What!
She's an atm machine!
She's 17 years old!
She's worth twice that.
Take it or leave it.
I got three others
coming from Mexico.
Come on.
I'm like an Ellis island.
Okay, well, the next one
I got's white.
Full-on u.S. Of a.
Cheerleader type.
Derek: Yeah?
When's she ready?
A few more days.
Give me some time.
You're not getting her
for less than five grand.
Okay.
Break her in, just not too hard.
No one likes a zombie skank.
And hose that one down,
I'll be back at midnight
and I'll buy her from you.
♫ ♫
Yes!
I guess there's no point
in asking you to come to bed.
I knew... I knew...
I knew the doctor
was giving her pain pills.
No, Janie, this was not...
And I didn't stop it.
It was right under my nose
and I didn't stop it.
This was not your fault.
It was not your fault.
It was.
You can't think like that.
Honey...
It's not your fault.
Okay?
(school bell rings)
Come on, don't be shy.
You've got to include me, huh?
So, how much you guys need?
So her again?
Come on, man.
Okay, light me up.
She's a little cutie, huh?
You're a dirty
son-of-a-bitch, you.
So, what, shotguns
every hour on the hour,
With some momentum here, boys.
Hi.
Excuse me.
So what time?
Come on.
Are you cray?
Who's asking?
I'm Grace atkinson's mom.
I don't know her.
There's no reason
to be nervous or lie,
I just...
I don't want any trouble.
I just...
Lady, I told you...
Look, I just want to know
if you've seen her lately.
What? She's hurt or something?
That's what I want to know.
I really...
I really want to know
if she's...
If she's using again.
Please.
Anything you know.
Yeah.
Heard she was out of rehab.
Saw her.
Talked about some rims.
Some what?
Oxy.
I tried to sell her some.
She turned me down.
Told me she was staying
straight this time.
She meant it.
She's good people.
Sat next to her
in eighth-grade English.
Yeah?
She is.
You're all good kids.
You're welcome.
Now, this...
This is a sandwich.
I love the classics.
That's what this place
is all about.
Really,
I learned it all from mom.
How's she doing?
I love your mom,
And she's steadfast
in her belief in Grace.
I don't know
if she can go through it again.
Even as strong as she is.
I don't know.
I wouldn't underestimate
your mom.
She's one of the strongest
people I've ever met.
I know.
It's just...
You know, Grace and I
were always so close,
And...
There was nothing
we couldn't tell each other,
And then...
I don't know,
I just feel helpless
'cause there's nothing
I can do for her,
And then I start to feel guilty
For not being more of a brother.
I can only imagine
how mom feels.
This is what parents do.
Loving unconditionally.
That's the deal.
Your mom...
She feels the same way
about both of you.
Just because I don't say it,
Don't think
that you're unappreciated.
Especially by mom.
Thanks.
- (phone ringing)
- hang on.
Rex's.
Mom?
Yeah, he's...
He's right here.
No way.
They found the car.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, yeah, he's on his way.
Okay.
I'll go.
I'll call you shortly.
Yeah.
Drink, you bitch.
You got a job now.
Take it.
Are you listening to me?
Hey, hey!
Hey, look at me, okay?
You're gonna go in there
and exchange what you bought.
For cash.
All right?
Don't let them
put it back on your card.
I just want to go home.
- Are you getting this?
- Please.
Listen to me.
I'm gonna be right behind you,
all right?
One mistake...
And I'll kill you.
I will kill you.
Say it.
You'll kill me.
Be a good girl and I'll get you
something to eat, all right?
Get out.

Burt:

Nail salon.
Go. Go, go.

Let's go.
Come on.
Janie: We need your help!
Burt: Hi, hi. Sorry.
We were just
in your parking lot.
You guys got
a security camera there.
Can we take a look
at that footage?
No. Nails only.
We have policy.
Not possible.
Please.
My daughter is missing.
She parked her car
in that parking lot
And then she went missing.
I think she's in trouble.
Won't you please
help us find her?
Please!
What's the date?
- Today's the 16th?
- Yeah, five days ago.
The 11th.
I gave her the car
in the afternoon.
That's the 11th.
There. Right there.
That's the car.
That's her!
That is her!
You'll eat
when I tell you to eat.
You'll breathe
when I tell you to breathe.

Janie: You see, right there,
he is controlling her movement.
If you punch in...
You can punch in
and maybe identify him?
Can you blow it up?
(detective) I'm just not
seeing an abduction here.
It looks to me
Like they're pretty familiar
with each other.
Okay.
But he's forcing her to move.
She does not move like that.
Or he's just embracing her
and trying to hold her up.
No. Look again.
Can you not find out
who that guy is?
Look, I'm sorry,
mr. And mrs. Atkinson,
I really am,
But I'm just not seeing
what you're seeing.
I have another appointment.
We'll keep trying.
Please.
Richie: Yeah, give me a...
Give me an 8 ball and 20 grams.
Gots a special on some rox.
Richie: Nah. Maybe...
Maybe later.
What about roofies?
What's that for?
Richie: What do you mean
what's that for?
Come on.
(dealer) You guys
have a good night.
Richie: Yeah, yeah.
I will.
(dealer) Let me know
if you need another.
All right, man.

(brakes screeching)
- (man) Sorry! Are you okay?
- Richie: I got you.
No, no, no.
She'll be fine.
- Come on.
- So sorry.
No, we're fine.
She'll be okay.
She's fine. She's good.
Grace: Help me! Help me!
Take her to the hospital.
Yeah, yeah!
I got her.
Sure you're okay?
Yeah, yeah.
She'll be okay.
Get back in the car.
Now. Now.
No! Get off!
Shut up!
(sobs)
Okay?
(Grace screams)
Shut up, okay?
Shut up.
Shut up.
Please, please.
Richie, what do you want?
My dad used to say
That effort
was as important as trying.
And you tried.
It was a good effort.
- Okay?
- Don't do this.
- Don't, please.
- And this is for you.
- Please.
- This is your reward, okay?
No...
(gags)
(Grace sobs)

(Grace wails)
You asked everybody?
The entire staff?
Everyone.
No one recognizes him.
Mom, maybe the cop was right.
- Maybe she...
- She's not using.
But if she is,
that guy could be anyone.
Her dealer,
Some guy who found her
in her car
When she was...
Mom,
I don't want to see you
go through this again.
I love Grace,
But maybe we need
to learn to stop...
Give me the key.
- What?
- The key to her room.
I should have searched it first.
Do you have the key?
I already searched it.
There's nothing there.
Give me the key.

She hasn't been at work

I've called,
I've messaged her... nothing.
Right around
when Grace disappeared.
Honey...
Is she friends with Grace?
Who's this...
Who's this Richie guy?
She and Grace
seemed pretty friendly.
I have no clue who Richie is.
So maybe she does.
Do you have her address?
Uh, yeah,
It is probably
on her application...
But, mom,
You don't know
If some guy named Richie
is even the guy in the photo!
Honey, I don't know anything,

Come on.
All right.

Red. She's a bartender

She hasn't shown up for days.
We really need to talk to her.
We need to talk to her

Yeah, you and me both.
She skipped out.
Owes me three months rent.
If you find her, let me know.
This is private property.
Enough with the knocking.

Derek squeezed me,

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
We're just

We've got a pipeline now.

What business?
Meaning what?
He's a drug addict?
No, no.
He's mainly he's into roofies.
What is it?
You've never heard
of date-rape drugs?
Guy uses them to grab girls.
"Grab girls"?

Date 'em. Rape 'em. Sell 'em.
Whatever.
What? Sell 'em what?
Sell 'em drugs?
Do you live in a bubble?
He sells...
The girls?
Don't ever come back here again.
You're gonna believe
a drug dealer
With a crazy story
about sex rings or whatever?
He didn't mention...
Sex rings!
We were talking about Richie.
And what he does!
All right.
He sells girls.
Is that it?
That's what he says he does.
- Yeah...
- That's what...
- Okay.
- He says he does.
Janie. Honey.
White middle-class girls
don't get sold.
Okay, that only happens
to poor immigrants,
Who...
I don't know,
are here illegally,
And don't speak English.
Not to girls like Grace.
Okay...
It's the only lead we have.
What is wrong with you
not understanding this?
Jesus!
Honey, you're not seeing

Right in front of your face!
They're there!
You're just not looking at it.
You're not seeing the signs!
Yeah, you're right, I'm not.
You know who else isn't?
Everybody else!
Oh, good!
Then I'll just believe
everybody else
And go along with them
And just leave my daughter
in the gutter!
That's not...
I get it. I get it.
No, you don't, no, you don't.
She's relapsed.
Just admit it.
Okay, let's go with that lie.
Okay, then why haven't you
checked her credit card?
Huh?
You don't want to know...
Because if it's like last time,
And she relapsed,
The card'll be maxed, right?
Right?
- Yes.
- Tell me I'm wrong.

You don't talk to drug dealers

Uh, yeah.
Sorry. One sec.

Yeah, that's right.

We're on a family account.
My name is Burt Atkinson.
And the last four digits
of your social insurance number?
6307.
I see that the card has been
suspended, mr. Atkinson.
Um, suspended!
Why?
We tried contacting
the cardholder
About the suspicious activity...
I'm sorry.
What kind
of suspicious activity?
We call it "return fraud".
It's a series of card purchases
And then exchanging them
for cash.
Mr. Atkinson, do you have
The card in your possession
right now?
Uh, no, but thank you,
I have all the information
I need.
Goddammit.
I don't care where she is
or what she's doing,
I'm going to find her.
Okay... Okay...
You're not even watching.

We're a middle-class family.
You mean you're white.
It's a misconception that
this is an immigrant problem.
83% of sex-trafficking victims
are u.S. Citizens.
"By some estimates,
There are up to 50,000...
Sex-trafficked victims
Every year
in the united states."
You said you saw
your daughter last
At the interstate?
Janie: Uh-huh.
It's called the heroin highway.
Drugs flow along that interstate
like water.
Easy on, easy off...
And cheap motels
all along the way.
And where there's drugs,
there's trafficking.
Vulnerable girls
are easy scores.
They seduce them,
They drug them,
And they break them.
After ten days, they sell them...
Some for internet sites.
All those motels
up and down the interstate?
Behind those doors,
it's all going down right now.
They sell them?
Ten days?
Ten days...
That's usually how long
it takes to break them.
Ten days.
How long
has your daughter been missing?
Eight days.
Rosa: You don't know
this has happened to Grace.
Okay?
There could be
other explanations,
But here's some information
That will help.
