Only Mine (2019) - full transcript

Tormented and left for dead by a scorned lover, a woman finds the strength within herself to recover and retaliate against her abuser.

This was

one case...

out of about

seven million a year.

I haven't seen it all yet,

but...

this one still seemed

different.

Maybe it was how far it went.

Now, you never know

how these situations



if they will end in violence.

But that threat of harm,

that terror

that the victim

is made to live with,

that's always there.

And suddenly one day...

boom.

♪ Let me let you... ♪

Yes!

Yee-ees!

Submit.

Oh. Tommy, I'm so sorry.

Uh, I'm gonna be there



as soon as I can. I just...

No, don't call Cherise in!

I'm...

I'm literally

right down the street.

No, I promise

I'm really almost there.

- Honestly, like, 30 seconds.

This time, I me...

Oh, shit. Okay.

Um, hey, Tommy,

I gotta go, but I...

I'm gonna be right there.

Don't call Cherise

or anything else.

I'm sorry, Chief Dodd.

I'm at your mercy again.

- Oh, you're not Chief Dodd.

- Nope.

- Officer Barragan.

- Officer Barragan.

- Right. You're the new guy.

- Mm-hmm.

So you're probably

not gonna let me off

with my usual warning

then, right?

'Cause, I mean, why would you?

You know how fast

you were going?

- Too fast?

- Too fast.

And you were talking

on your cell phone.

Mm.

Where you headed

in such a hurry?

Uh, the James' Center.

- I work there.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah.

- Where is that?

It's right up the corner.

I'm headed to work.

Okay. Good to know.

We have the world's best pie.

Also good to know.

All right, Julie.

How did, how do you know

my name?

Well, chief, he, uh,

gave me a heads-up

on some of the town's more

reckless citizens

and their routes.

I was expecting you.

So, here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna do

what the chief would do here.

Julie Dillon,

consider this a verbal warning.

Well, thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Just do me a favor, slow down,

keep both hands on the wheel.

If you're not careful,

you'll fly into a ditch

or kill somebody.

I promise you, I will do

neither of those things.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

...two, two and a...

Two, ten and twelve...

Get off the RV.

Wow!

♪ Lonesome and blue ♪

♪ Every night, so lonesome

and blue... ♪

Okay, so you guys

got your food.

Um, you need the... What was it?

Hash browns and toast?

And then anything else?

- Order up!

Hey, you still owe me

hash browns and toast.

You don't have 'em, probably

'cause you didn't write it down.

Check your tickets. Table four.

Oh, come on.

So, since Tommy can't

get it together,

hash browns and toast on him,

coffee's on me.

- Thank you.

- Hey!

- At least I was on time, okay?

- Ha-ha.

- Good morning, Evelyn.

- Hey.

- What do you have for me?

- Uh...

Let me see here. Ah!

Okay. A ten-letter word

for "freedom."

The, the third letter's a B.

Liberation?

Look at you. You are ready

for college.

Even though you can leave the

rest of us behind, it's fine.

I may be "liberated"

from this town,

but I could never leave you.

Mm. By the way,

there's some extra

in there this week.

I won 50 bucks

in the scratch-off.

I can't take that.

Yes, you can, and you will.

Go. Go.

So, I don't know

what you're up to tonight

but, um...

so, me and the boys

are heading to Lucky's

to play some pool and...

I don't know if you...

want to go.

That's nice. Sounds fun.

Sensing a "but"

coming on its way.

It's inappropriate to talk

about "butts" in the workplace.

What? No...

No, no, no. I-I wasn't--

Gotcha.

Um, I can't tonight.

I have a thing

with Kinsey and Suzanne and...

Lucky's sounds fun though.

Cool. That's, uh...

That's awesome.

Maybe another time.

I like pool.

[indistinct song

Hello, Officer Barragan.

Don't tell me that you changed

your mind about letting me go.

- Am I under arrest?

- Nope.

While you are clearly a danger

to yourself and others,

I'm just here to inspect

the pie, ma'am.

It is really good.

I'll be the judge of that.

Do you have a preference?

I'll have whatever you think

I should have.

Coming right up.

So...

with you being new in town

and all,

I figured you might want

somebody to...

I don't know, show you around?

Are you asking me out

on a date, Julie Dillon?

Friday night.

I don't know.

A criminal and a cop?

- People might talk.

Let 'em.

Friday night.

Yeah, we were close.

But, you know, when,

when David showed up,

it... changed things.

How so?

I, you know, I just felt

things were different.

She liked him,

and what do I know?

She was happy.

Did you like her?

I mean,

who didn't like Julie?

- Hey! I'm so sorry.

- Hey-hey!

I couldn't get my till

to close out at work

and it was this whole thing,

so...

We'll see if I have a job

tomorrow.

I am sure you're fine.

Got you little somethin'.

Doesn't look like much but, uh,

turn that, that's that, yeah.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Isn't that the guy

you work with?

Yeah.

He was watching you

during the show, you know?

- Pretty intense.

- Well, that's just Tommy.

- Just Tommy, huh?

Yeah. Now, where were we?

No, but, you don't

like him, right?

What? No!

God, no.

'Cause I like you, Julie.

I do.

Yeah? But do you "like me"

like me?

I just said I like you.

Wait, are you letting me

in here?

Uh...

Look, my last

relationship was

really dysfunctional.

- So...

- Someone from around here?

No. Uh, East Larson.

Where I used to live.

Oh. What's her name?

Alicia. But I don't

wanna talk about her.

David, I'm not her.

I know.

I just wanna be...

open about everything.

You know, this,

whatever this is,

I... I want it to be right.

I don't know what to say.

I like you.

You know...

Navajo myth talks

about resisting meanness.

That was Julie growing up.

Not a mean bone in her.

Did she date a lot

before this happened?

I was always happy

when she found someone.

Truly.

For the first time

since her father died,

her life was

in perfect harmony.

- And he was like--

- Okay, okay.

- N-n-no, don't say it.

- No, no, no, no...

And he was just like,

"Today, I want

whatever you think

I should have."

- Oh!

So I brought him

the lemon meringue pie.

- That was some good pie.

- I think that's sweet.

I'm happy to see that Julie's

finally with a guy

who respects her opinion.

Ay, Mom, can we please

not talk about that?

Who is this?

Nobody. It's...

Just forget about it.

He just wasn't

right for you.

- Sorry, David.

- No, no.

I can handle it.

Guess I'll just have to

step up my game.

I guess you will.

- Where are we?

- Trust me.

It's worth the drive.

Wow, this place is amazing.

Is this real?

You bet.

It's my grandfather's

old hunting rifle.

Wow. Huh.

Here. Oh.

Spilled some. One second.

Everything in here

is so masculine.

It makes me wanna wear flannel

and chop down trees.

I could see that.

The sexiest lumberjack

to ever walk these woods.

Oh!

Is this you?

It is! You were adorable.

Oh, I can't believe

that you were right here,

and I never met you.

- What?

- Nothing.

What is it?

I'm really happy with you.

Seeing these photos,

it always reminds me of them.

What? Your parents?

They look nice.

Yeah.

I didn't mean to pry.

No, it's, it's okay.

Is this at the cabin?

Yeah.

My mom stopped coming

a couple years after this,

but my dad and I came

every summer.

Spend some time

with the chief and his family...

till my dad died.

I'm sorry.

My dad was the best.

After he died,

my mom kinda checked out,

but she'd still send me up here

to spend time

with the chief and his family.

Get rid of me for the summer.

- Chief Dodd?

- Yeah.

Then when she passed,

the cabin went to me.

Here we are.

Thank you for telling me that.

Thank you for listening.

- Oh.

- Who's that?

I'm sorry. I didn't know

that was in there.

Is that... her?

Uh, Alicia?

It is, right?

Look, it's okay.

Everybody has stuff

in their past.

Even the sexiest lumberjack

to walk these woods

has made a mistake or two.

She was definitely a mistake.

Things didn't end well for us.

She was hung up on somebody else

the whole time we were dating.

It messed me up.

You know what's not a mistake?

What's that?

This beer...

this boy...

and this place.

I guess it is pretty good.

You know, you never

gave me a tour.

- I can do that.

- Actually, no.

- Feeling a little dizzy.

- Okay.

Think I might need

to lie down,

if that's okay.

- Okay.

- If that's okay.

Well, if you're dizzy,

come here, lumberjane.

- Whoa!

- Take you in here.

Coldwater Hills

is a small town.

A town where everyone

knows everyone.

Anytown, USA?

That depends on

where you grew up.

You know, it's as messed up as,

as any town.

You know, if you change

your mind and wanted

to do an Xbox and beer night,

the offer still stands.

Just two friends

on a very platonic,

non-weird,

not-at-all-awkward

hangout sesh, okay?

Thank you.

Have a good night.

Julie. Hey.

Hi! Hey, what are you

doing here?

I thought you got off work

at 4:00.

Yeah, but, like,

how did you get in?

I was worried about you,

so I wanted to stop by.

Oh. Yeah, I just had

to deposit something

before the bank closed.

Um...

I think we need to talk

about Tommy.

Okay, what about him?

I think you need

to keep an eye on him.

Something about him just

doesn't feel right.

I wanted to make sure

you were okay.

- Yes.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, I'm, I'm good.

- Good.

Oh. Well, hello.

What a nice surprise.

Thank you, David.

- What are you kids up to?

- Uh, I just got home.

Yeah, we're just gonna

make plans later. Right?

Wanna take this all

the way to the kitchen for me?

- I think I could do that.

- Thank you.

All right.

Did you ever say

anything to her?

About David?

No. No, never.

It was never my place.

Do you wish you had?

I think, I think she

figured that out eventually.

Hey,

thanks for, uh, watching

the little rugrat tonight.

Hope I'm not keeping you

from your own

scandalous pursuits with David.

Gosh. I'm just lucky to have

some time with this little one.

You okay, kiddo?

She's been this little

ray of sunshine all day.

And here's the fun part--

no explanation.

Yay!

Did something happen?

Mm, this boy at school is mean.

He said I threw a rock,

but I didn't throw a rock.

No one believed me,

they all believed him.

- He always lies.

- Who threw a rock?

- Hey, you're not here, remember?

- Fine. Not here.

But I'll find out.

Okay. Listen to me.

Sometimes a boy like that,

a boy who lies really well,

no matter what, people are gonna

believe him and not you.

But, see, sooner or later,

the truth is gonna come out

because it always does.

- Really?

- Really.

So someday you're gonna be able

to look him in the eyes

and say, "All the people

that you fooled,

they know that you are lying

and they know

I'm telling the truth."

And that's gonna

be super awesome.

Awesome.

Nice job stealing

my parenting thunder.

Okay.

All right, kids. I'm out.

- Have fun, Mommy.

- I will. I love you.

- Muah! I will.

- Have fun.

- Stay out as late as you want.

- Oh! Okay.

Okay, what's first?

Doing our make-up

or eating the 50 pounds of candy

that I have in my purse?

♪ The 50 pounds

of candy ♪

♪ ...pounds of candy ♪

♪ Fifty pounds of candy ♪

Okay.

Julie?

Hey. There's a sleeping

little girl in here.

Is everything okay?

Didn't you see I called?

Yeah, what,

what are you doing here?

You, you don't have

any idea what I've been

going through.

Julie?

Hey, why don't you go to bed,

sweetie?

I'll tuck you in in a second.

What the hell is going on?

- Everybody's been worried sick.

- Everybody?

What are you talking about?

I thought we were supposed

to be together tonight.

- Oh, we had talked about it.

- Yeah, we had talked about it.

So when I didn't hear from you,

I started to worry.

And then I called your mother.

My mother? What does my mother

have to do with this?

She said you would be here.

But we couldn't reach you,

so here I am.

Is your phone off

or something?

Okay. Just come inside.

How many times have you

called and texted me?

I was trying to get in touch

with you, okay?

When I didn't hear back,

I-it made it worse.

My mom has been calling me

all night?

You made us all

very concerned about you.

I'm babysitting

for my best friend.

Well, it would've been

nice to know that.

Anything could've

happened to you.

When you didn't answer,

I, I thought maybe that Tommy--

My phone ringer is off.

That's not a crime.

Hm...

I always wanna be able

to find you.

- Why?

- Why?

- Hey, guys, what's up?

Hey. Do you mind

giving us a minute?

We just really need

to sort some things out.

- No, I don't think so.

- I...

Okay. Then, then come with me.

- No, I have to finish up here.

- Mommy!

Julie, look. Please.

- I think you should just go.

- Julie, stop.

Okay? Think for a second.

Think about what you're doing.

- You just slow down.

- Hold on, okay?

Julie, just...

Let's, let's start over.

We can talk about it.

But not right now,

and really, really not here.

Come on.

Good night.

Yeah, I guess

I'm the brassy best friend.

Straight talk.

I take zero crap.

Julie...

not so much.

And I'll never forgive myself

for not pushing her

to see it for what it was.

I can't tell you how much

I need this girls' night.

Have you

heard from him?

He's being really sweet.

He sent me flowers.

Ah.

I... feel bad, like...

you know, maybe I screwed up.

It was

not your fault,

my little Indian princess,

at all.

So don't worry about it.

He's been texting me.

I think maybe I should

hear him out.

What do you...

think he's thinking?

You don't want

my opinion on that.

Okay. It was

a bit much for me.

That's all I'm gonna say.

And be smart.

Yeah.

I just think, you know,

maybe, like,

he was having a bad day or...

there could've been

something going on.

Julie.

Just wanted to talk.

I wanted to explain

the other night.

Okay.

I don't think you understand

how much I care about you.

I think about you

all the time.

Start over. Prove to you

how much I care about you.

Maybe we can go back out

to the cabin again?

- David--

- Or... have a date night?

I, uh...

David, just don't.

You promised me

we would talk.

We will, just not...

right now and not here,

right now--

- Were you lying to me?

- No.

- No.

Do you still wanna be

with me?

- Because...

- Yeah.

I think there is

something powerful between us.

And I know we're supposed to

be together, you know?

I just need you to understand me

the way I understand you.

- Yeah.

- We all make mistakes.

We occasionally hurt those

that we love the most.

I need you to know

that I'm hurt.

Okay.

I understand...

Good.

Good.

I'm glad we talked.

Please just keep this little

misunderstanding between us.

In a town like this,

people get the wrong idea.

They start to talk.

But this is just

between us, okay?

You look like a scared rabbit.

Look, I'll, uh...

I'll leave you alone.

But we'll talk soon. Okay?

I'll call you?

Mm-hmm.

- Honey, what's--

- Mom... I, I, um...

What's wrong?

Hey, baby, are you okay?

It's okay. I got you.

It's David.

I don't know

what just happened.

What happened?

It was nothin'.

What did she say?

Her mother called it in.

Well, did she actually

report something?

Why then were you hiding

behind her shed?

It was a private place

and there was a garden

in the back.

Was there a rake?

Um... yeah.

There was a rake and a hose

and a shovel

and... everything else

you would find

in every garden

within a 50 miles.

So what?

Look, she's upset.

We had a good thing goin'.

But we hit a rough patch.

That's all.

I feel bad for her.

You know, I knew your dad

a lot of years.

And I knew when he was

lying to me.

You lying to me?

You know me, Chief.

I wouldn't lie to you.

She's just... off.

End of story.

I'm sorry you had to

deal with that. It's just...

Believe me, I can tell you

stories about Julie Dillon.

She is not worth it.

I'll keep that in mind.

You've known David

for years?

Yeah. You know?

And I, uh, I knew his father

for a lot longer than that.

I promised him I'd,

I'd look after his boy.

And I did.

What about Julie?

What about her?

After

the incident behind the shed,

you didn't put a stop to it.

Is there a question

in there or...

What incident behind the shed?

He cornered her

with a rake.

Did he?

Did he?

You see what I'm saying?

We don't know.

Look.

Everything that happened...

it's terrible...

in hindsight...

but at the time...

No, I'm just pickin' up Kinsey

for Suzanne.

I actually barely

made it on time.

Well, I just submitted it.

It may take more than a week.

I'm not that amazing.

Hey, I'm gonna

call you back, okay?

No, it's fine. Uh, I'll call...

I love you.

Hey, Tina,

have you seen Kinsey?

I thought someone

picked her up already.

Do you need me to call Suzanne?

No, call the police.

Right now, please.

Kinsey?

Kinsey?

Kinsey?

Kinsey!

Kinsey!

Kinsey!

Kinsey!

Julie!

Hm.

What are you doing here?

I saw a lost girl,

and I'm the police.

It's my job to keep her safe

until somebody shows up.

- You were late.

- Kinsey, come here.

Honey,

I'm sorry that I was late.

- It's okay.

- Yeah.

We had a snack

while we waited.

- Right, Kinsey?

- Mm-hmm.

Please, I need to take her home.

You seem upset.

Honestly, I should

be the one who's upset.

Spreading rumors about me when

we know I haven't done anything.

Maybe you're

havin' a tough time.

Maybe that's why

you're tellin' Mom lies,

and you're late pickin' up

your little friend.

You know, it's a good thing

I was around.

Be a shame if a little girl

went missing.

Okay. Well, uh, let's have

that talk real soon.

Julie, wait up.

What's goin' on?

Will you please tell him

to leave me alone?

I need to take her home.

Whoa!

Julie.

We gonna have

a problem here, David?

Look, I don't know

what her issue is.

I see a lost kid...

Chief, I'm just

doing my job, okay?

I don't know what she thinks

I was doing. I...

I don't know what

she's gonna say next.

Stop. Stop talking.

- You, come here.

- Look.

- Shh. Listen to me.

Listen to me.

You gotta play nice here.

- I'm try--

- I don't wanna hear it.

You're done talking.

She's a nice girl.

I get that.

But whatever you two had

is long gone.

Now, I need you to just

stay the hell away from her.

All right?

Stay away from her.

And this will all blow over.

- I was trying to, Chief.

- I don't...

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Are we good?

We're good.

- Yes, sir.

- Better be.

Swear to God, you're gonna be

the death of me, kid.

- I...

- Straighten up!

Sorry, Chief.

Textbook, right?

Yeah, he was really good...

at keeping everyone

off-balance.

At knowing how far to go

without going too far.

At covering his tracks.

At controlling

the local gossip.

This was a...

master craftsman

in the fine art

of manipulation.

Are you gonna be

fine tonight?

- Closin'?

- Yeah.

I could wait for you

if you want.

No. I'll be fine.

Hey, are you okay?

You know, a bunch of us

are kinda concerned.

You don't really

seem yourself.

I'm fine.

I'll be fine.

Hey, if you wanna talk

or, you know...

No, I am super tough.

- Remember?

- Okay.

All right.

You know, I think

we're really good together.

That's what

I've been wanting to tell you.

But you,

you keep turnin' off on me.

Why?

I just wanna be with you, okay?

Take care of you.

It's driving me crazy.

I mean, uh...

Come on, Julie.

What do you say, huh?

It could be

like this, always.

Yeah, well, you tell him

to stay away from her.

But... Chief, I don't care,

and that's my daughter.

What... Okay.

Yeah.

What did he say?

David was apparently...

with someone tonight

who backed up his story.

He told the chief he wasn't

anywhere near the diner.

Who did he say he was with?

Gail.

From the police station?

Yeah.

I don't understand.

What did I... do?

Hey. You didn't do

anything wrong.

No one deserves

to be treated that way.

And we're not gonna let him get

away with any more of this.

I'm gonna kill the bastard

before anything happens to you.

Changing Woman.

Changing Woman.

Tell me again.

Once upon a time...

there was nothing

but darkness...

Okay, no, but I'm saying

that I didn't do it.

Somebody else did.

Uh, somebody who...

hacked my email or something.

Okay, resubmit my application

with proof of identification

when you already have

my application. I...

Don't you have any sort of,

like,

fact-check system

or something?

Or are your heads

too far up each other's asses?

Hello?

What can I get you guys?

- Hi.

- Where've you been? I've been...

I've been working

both sides of the counter.

I'm sorry, um...

You know, I'm just not

feeling myself right now,

but we're good, we're here.

Um, it's fine.

about this,

all the stuff that's

been happenin' to you,

it's not random.

I think somebody's after you.

I-I-I don't know.

Maybe not, but I've been

speaking to my dad about it.

He gave me... some security.

In my glove box,

there's a handgun.

No, I can't, I can't.

I can't even

think about that right now.

Look, if you need anything,

I can help you.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Hey, hey. Hey, it's okay.

- It's okay. Hey, it's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Uh. Uh...

- You're sweet.

- I know.

And don't worry

about what Gail said.

Okay, just another case

of some guy's new girlfriend

talking to the last one.

Hmm.

It's how this town works.

Right.

Yeah.

I gotta get back inside.

Cherise is coming to help me.

So you get out of here,

all right?

Make sure you relax, okay?

- DMV, this is Suzanne.

- Hey, it's me.

Hi. Is everything okay?

I need to ask a favor.

Of course.

Whatever you need.

I need to find

somebody in East Larson.

Can I help you?

Are-are you Alicia Warren?

I am.

Um, this is gonna sound

kind of weird,

but did you used to date a guy

named David Barragan?

No.

I'm sorry.

- You have the wrong person.

- No, but you did. I...

Look, I know that you did.

I don't have anything

to say to you.

But, excuse me, I just wanted

to ask you a couple questions.

- Did you bring him here?

- No.

- No, no, no. No.

- You need to leave right now.

Just leave, or I'm

gonna call the police.

No, no, no. Please, please.

I just... I...

Did he ever threaten you

or make you feel...

Because I think

that he's doing it to me.

- Look.

- I'm sorry.

- No, please.

No, you're on your own.

I'm really sorry.

- You have to leave.

- Please. Please.

But I just... I re... I need...

I just need your help!

I can't help you.

Damn it!

Just get the hell away from me!

- You know...

I seem to remember telling you

if you weren't careful,

you'd end up in a ditch.

You also said

that I would kill somebody.

Cute.

I need to see your license

and registration.

Where do you think

you're going?

Huh?

Please, David,

what do you want?

So, you're gonna kill me?

That's up to you.

What does that mean?

You know, I wouldn't

have to do any of this

if you would just

leave things alone.

But instead,

you go to see Alicia.

And you didn't

think I would know?

I know everything.

What are you two

gonna do, huh?

Gang up on me?

- It's just two crazies talking.

- You're psycho.

Now that's a shame.

What have you been

drinking, Julie?

I want you to come

with me. Yeah.

- No.

- Hey! Shh, shh.

Shh.

I just want you to

come with me.

- I wanna show you something.

- No.

- I'm not going with you, David.

- Shh.

Everything is gonna be fine.

Okay?

- Help! Help! Help!

- Hey!

- Shh. Hey!

- Help me! Somebody help me!

- Out. Out.

I took it back.

You don't mind, do you?

You never really

appreciated it anyway.

I was so, so good to you,

and you just spit in my face.

You're right.

I wasn't good to you.

I was terrible.

Guess my...

My feelings get ahead

of me sometimes and...

and...

I just...

I get scared of-of

my feelings

and I can't see

what's in front of me

or...

Even appreciate it, so...

Help me.

Mm.

This is where

I wanted to bring you.

Come on. Get out.

Air up here

is so fresh, right?

You know, they say

that all of that's

sacred Indian territory.

You feelin' the vibe?

This is Serrano land.

- I'm Navajo.

- No.

You are beautiful.

You know, I was gonna

bring you up here,

ask you to marry me

right here.

I love this spot.

What would you have said?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

Of course.

- Of course?

- Yes.

You know, my dad's cabin

is just up the road.

I always felt like

this was a magical place.

I would ride my bike

up here when I was a little kid.

God, it was like

I was in a distant land.

Mm, maybe there is

something to be said

about the whole

one-with-nature thing.

Never really got much

into that, but...

I gotta say, something about

being the only one in the world.

You blew it.

I got home that night,

and sh-she was just...

gone.

And then

they found her car.

All smashed up.

Her body was missing,

so I wondered...

"W-was she still alive?

Did somebody take her?"

Did they talk to David?

Oh, yeah, but then again,

he had an alibi.

Gail.

No one

really wanted to believe

that he had anything

to do with it.

Can you describe

what you were feeling?

I could only hope

and pray that...

somehow,

some way,

she was... still alive.

You never know

where these cases will take you.

This one took me

to Coldwater Hills.

You know what WMD stands for

in Coldwater Hills?

Weapons of Mass Destruction?

White men on duty.

All right, listen up.

This is Sergeant Miller.

He's with the County Sheriff's

Investigation...

Criminal Investigative

Division.

That's the one.

He's here to help us

with the Julie Dillon situation.

I ask you to extend him

every courtesy

that you would me.

Sergeant Miller.

Thank you, Chief.

First, we need to set up

a timeline.

Who saw her last?

Has she made any phone calls?

Her body missing from the scene

of the accident suggests

suspicious circumstances.

Does she have any

known enemies?

Significant other? Ex?

Anybody that would

wanna wish her harm.

Anybody she's had trouble with.

Anything.

What am I missing here?

Okay. I've got nothing to hide.

How many reports had to be made

before you take this seriously?

Well,

first of all,

this girl,

she's known to exaggerate.

Look at what we have.

We have her car,

busted up in a ditch

covered in alcohol, and

her gone from the scene.

How does that implicate

Officer Barragan?

Look, all I know is that

if he's part of this,

he has anything to do

with her disappearance,

the accident, anything,

that's gonna come back

on you hard.

If you're implying

that I'm somehow

to blame for any of this...

I'm not implying anything.

Just considering the facts.

Yeah, well, consider this.

This is my goddamn case,

Sergeant Miller.

I'm willing to work

with you here, but I suggest

you mind your tone.

You're right. Your town.

- Those are the rules.

- Thank you.

Don't mind me if I keep

an eye on that kid.

Do whatever

makes you feel helpful.

I'm gonna send my guys

out to Stanton Farm,

we're gonna work

our way out from there.

Soon as we cross

the town line,

I'll be sure

and let you know.

Thanks for stopping by.

Once upon a time,

in a distant land,

there was nothing

but darkness, until...

Changing Woman.

Every year, Changing Woman

was born in the spring,

died in winter,

and magically was

reborn again in the spring.

Changing Woman had...?

Twins.

That's right.

Twin children...

born with special powers.

When they were older,

the twins set out

to find their father,

who was the shining sun

above.

On their dangerous

journey,

they met Spider Woman,

who protected and guided them

along the way.

When they reached

their father,

he knew that

they were his children,

and he told them

all about the monsters.

Bringers of chaos.

So, when the monsters come...

we can seek the power

to destroy them

by saying to the sun,

"Give me the light

of your mind,

that my mind

may be strong.

Give me some of your strength,

that my arm may be strong."

Are you okay, baby?

- Hm?

- Yeah. Yeah, I...

Sorry, just, uh, just a dream.

Just, um...

I've got a lot on my mind

with all this...

- Hope I didn't scare you.

- No.

No, I'm, I'm good.

I'm... I'm really,

really good, actually.

Is that terrible?

Just... I don't know,

I just...

I feel like you were

brought here for a reason.

You know?

Like this was meant to be.

N-not Julie going missing,

of course, but...

I don't know,

me working at the station,

and you knowing the chief.

He's always been there for me.

So many people have deserted me,

but through the hardest parts

of my life,

he has been there.

Baby, I'm here.

Right?

I know. Yeah, um...

No, I just...

I just want to...

make him proud, you know?

Feel I owe that to him.

I know, I know

he's proud of you.

I see it in his eyes.

And I am, too.

No matter what.

What do you mean,

"No matter what?"

I mean, David, we...

we both know you weren't

with me Friday night.

Where were you?

Do you really want to know?

I went to get

something for you.

Something that I think

you will like.

Um...

- But if you want me to--

- No, no. No, no, no, no, no.

No, don't you dare tell me.

You just...

You just wait until

you are good and ready.

'Cause I am right here.

And I've got something

for you, too,

if that's okay.

- Sgt. Miller?

- Mrs. Dillon, yes?

She's still alive.

- Excuse me?

- My daughter is still alive.

I heard her.

I heard her voice.

Mrs. Dillon, our minds

can play all kinds

of tricks on us

when we're in distress.

- No.

- Yes. I've seen it before.

No, it was no trick.

I heard her as clear

as I'm hearing you.

She's out there somewhere.

She's alive,

and she's waiting to be found.

So, please, go find her.

I wanted to be with you, Julie.

I really did.

But if I can't have you,

nobody will!

Do you hear me?

I don't know where you went,

but I will find you.

Sgt. Miller.

What are you doing here?

Well, I could ask you

the same thing.

Everybody's out near

Stanton Farm.

Yeah, I just remembered

Julie loved coming out here.

Came out here to think,

get her head clear.

Thought maybe I could come

out here and find something.

Seemed like a good idea.

So, did you do it?

Do what?

Did you find anything?

No. Nothing.

Sure is pretty, though.

Quiet, too.

So far away from everything.

Yeah. I got a cabin up here.

Been coming for years.

I know the area well.

I'll head back, grab the dogs,

get them back out here.

No, don't bother.

This is not local jurisdiction.

Oh, it's not a bother.

Anything for Julie.

No, seriously,

I got this area covered.

You should head back to town.

All hands on deck.

All hands on deck.

At about that time,

the two boys came forward.

They'd, they'd

seen Julie in a,

well, in-in a truck

that we thought

could've been David's truck

heading out to where

Sgt. Miller found David

poking around.

But you weren't

so sure at the time?

Look, being police means

you have to take

every lead seriously.

And, uh, it's also my job

as chief to be skeptical

of pretty much everyone

I come into contact with.

But, uh...

sometimes...

sometimes you just don't see

things as clearly...

as you'd like.

David, it's me.

David?

So, did they talk to you?

Yeah, they talked to me.

I think I was the last one

to talk to Julie,

so they had

a lot of questions for me.

Who did you talk to?

Chief Dodd. Who else?

I told him what I knew,

and he did nothing with it.

Thank God Miller was around.

At least someone with some sense

that people could talk to.

And when I, when I

talked to him, I told him.

Told him what?

That Julie had called me

about Alicia.

David is missing.

Are you saying

this girl Julie,

she might actually be alive?

I don't know, but...

if she is alive, she probably

needs our help, so...

finding him is our best shot

at finding her.

You're gonna

catch him, though.

That's the plan.

I mean, something like this...

If you, if you catch him...

If he gets locked up,

does he stay locked up?

I mean...

I don't know, man.

Alicia...

are you worried that

if you help me here,

he's gonna come for you?

Look, if you can help us,

we'll do everything we can

to keep you safe.

But we're up against it

here, Alicia.

If you know anything about

where he might be hiding,

where he might have gone...

I'm trying to think.

I just--

Alicia, he very well

may have killed this girl.

Help us find him.

Help us find her.

I'll be right back.

What is this?

He took me there

a couple of times.

It's outside of town.

He said he had a cabin

out near Kettle Woods.

Is this it?

- Alicia... please.

You have to promise me

that I'm gonna be safe.

- I-I'll do everything in my--

- No, you have to promise me.

I promise.

Do you have a map?

Look, I had nothing

to do with it.

Well, neither did I.

Well, someone, whoever

is trying to...

frame me or take Julie,

they're...

They're trying to make me

look like

a crazy person,

like a killer.

David, do you think

I'm stupid?

I think you're amazing.

But I do need your help

with something.

- I, uh...

I'm gonna have to

call you back.

Sergeant...

What's going on?

What did these boys say?

I heard David's missing.

We don't have

all the information yet.

David just hadn't shown up

the last day or so,

but I may have a lead.

- About Julie?

- Well, no.

But I may have found David.

Who's there?

Just show yourself.

I promise to make it quick.

David, get out here now.

We gotta talk.

- Shit.

- David!

- Shit.

- Son.

Please, just...

come out here and talk to me,

will you?

I'm here.

What the hell happened?

If you're innocent

here, David,

this, this doesn't help.

I didn't do anything.

You have to know that.

You're like family to me, kid.

You know that.

- You're like my own boy.

- I know.

That's why you're the only one

who can help me here.

Somebody is making it look like

I'm doing all these things.

I got a message

from Sgt. Miller.

He spoke to Suzanne,

and Alicia.

Yeah, well, they're all liars.

It's a witch hunt.

We don't even know

what to say, David.

They'll find you.

That's, that's why I wanted

to get to you first.

Try to... talk

some sense into you.

Chief...

Look.

My father, he always

trusted you--

Oh, cut the crap, David!

Come on, let's...

Just, just, just come

with me, all right?

We'll sort it all out.

Now, come on. All right?

Shh...

Shh...

You're a monster.

And I would do it all again.

Because I love you, Julie.

Why would that be loaded?

As long as I live,

I'll never stop.

Aah!

When you work

enough years on a job,

you see all kinds

of things.

Terrible things.

Beautiful things.

And you just file it all away

as much as you can and move on.

But what I saw

that morning...

that's gonna stick with me

for the rest of my life.

Julie!

There she was.

Alive.

My little girl.

Our children are bound to us.

We're tied.

Uh... Maybe someone

was watching over her.

Giving her strength.

Reminding her of what

she had to live for.

I mean...

we all knew Julie was special.

Here's what I know.

I know a young woman

was shot and left out

in the middle

of nowhere for three days.

And somehow...

somehow she... got up.

There is no logical reason

why my girl Julie Dillon

is alive today.

None.

And yet, she is.

And yet, I am.
