Eye Candy (2015): Season 1, Episode 4 - YOLO - full transcript
Lindy looks into the disappearance of five teens; Lindy and Tommy are led to an unexpected venue.
Previously on "Eye Candy..."
Stay away from Jake Bolin.
On your knees!
Someone set him up.
He's not our guy.
I asked you to consult on
this case, but I...
I don't get to pick to leave,
not until we catch him.
Who have you been talking to?
Hackers don't usually work
with the police.
On Sara's birthday, I gave it
to her as a present.
We should all be reminded of
what we've lost.
Guys, come on!
This is awesome.
Let's make this happen already.
Is she gonna be like this
all night?
Uh, what do you think?
Roller coaster Amy.
Hey, I'm just in it for the
free booze.
Yo, Jessica, wait up!
What's going on with that, anyway?
I'm dating a Rubik's Cube.
I don't know which side I'm
gonna get or what combination.
The sex is great, but who knows
the dating desert out there.
- Come on!
- Right, Max?
It's a dating desert out there,
huh?
Yeah, whatever you say, Aaron.
- God, you are so serious.
- Why is he even here?
I have no idea.
Welcome to paradise!
This is crazy.
Look at the lights.
I will be your hostess for
our last night of innocence.
Oh, please, we cashed that in
years ago.
Everyone, this is Jarek,
our pilot.
Wait, wait, wait, we need
a picture.
Kiss high school goodbye,
losers!
You only live once!
Who even says that anymore?
Just say it, bitches.
Yolo!
Guys?
Where is everybody?
Come on, where are you?
Where are you?!
Guys?!
Amy! Where are you?!
We go now live to a report by
Gina Simmons
on five missing students.
It appears to have been about
a day and a half since the high
school students went missing.
Max Jeter, one of those
students, was found unconscious
early yesterday morning, and is working
with police on the investigation.
Hey.
We need to talk.
Kinda busy at the moment.
What's going on?
Six kids rented a party bus
to celebrate their high school graduation.
Five of them are missing,
the driver's also MIA.
Listen up, everyone,
it's confirmed.
Driver has a record, Major
Crimes has their suspect.
We need to fill in the gaps
and find these kids.
What about the boy with
the police?
Says he can't remember anything.
We're getting Max Jeter this
afternoon, I want you to interview him.
His parents?
They're in the foreign
service in Nigeria.
This is friendly, okay?
No lawyer in tow.
Find something to jog his
memory.
This is all their social
media, isn't it?
All their texts, photos, posts.
You're rebuilding the night from
everything they posted on the Internet.
This is what we do here.
People have no idea the trail of
information they expose to the world.
Some of us do.
But, it stops at exactly
1:46 A.M.
- Yeah, good catch.
- Why?
We don't know. Either they went
somewhere out of range,
or someone blocked
their signals.
I can help you quilt the night.
- Quilt?
- All this stuff...
make it make sense
like it makes sense to them.
I'm really good.
I'm really fast.
- How fast?
- Fast.
- Show us.
- Sergeant, really?
This has nothing to do with the
Flirtual killer.
Humor me.
I probably speak these kids' language
way better than a room
full of uptight cops.
This, I need to see.
- Who you calling uptight?
- Excuse me.
Amy Bryant booked the bus using
her parents' credit card.
She organized the whole thing.
Looks like they've all been
friends through high school.
Except Max.
Loner, stoner.
Except for when it comes to Amy.
Can't tell if it's a sex thing,
friend thing.
Or both.
Morgan, Jessica, and Amy used
to be best friends.
Sidebars seem to indicate they
haven't seen much of Amy since
she started hanging out
with Max.
Looks like Amy and Aaron
used to date.
Now, Aaron has a thing for Jessica,
but she's clearly not into it.
You gonna answer that?
No.
Have you seen him since...
Since he was accidentally
arrested at my surprise birthday
party for being a serial killer?
No.
You wanna see him?
I hadn't really thought about it.
Well, clearly, he wants
to see you.
Do you wanna find these kids
or not?
All right, Ethan does homework for his
friends, and accepts drugs as payment.
Nice kid.
He wouldn't be the first.
Max scores uppers and downers
for the group from his parents'
stash.
How do you know?
I, uh, might have accessed
their pharmacy accounts.
Mmm, do I need to remind you
that we don't do that here?
And who needs to know?
I'm sure his lawyers would
like to.
What do you want me to say?
Doesn't that seem weird to you?
Everything just stopped.
Everyone stopped using their
phones.
I mean, I guess. Yeah... I mean, I
don't remember anything, all right?
Just like I told the other
detectives.
Well, tell me again.
We were partying, things got a
little crazy, and I blacked out.
Was that before or after you
handed out your parents' pills?
How do you know about that?
We just know.
Well, am I in trouble?
If you don't tell us
everything you know.
Look, everybody remembers
something.
So, let's start with something.
How 'bout the beginning of
the night?
This isn't gonna work.
We need this boy to open up.
There are five sets of
incredibly frightened parents
wanting to know where their
kids are.
Max doesn't love the police.
Got searched for suspicion of
weed possession on the subway.
Said they harassed him.
- When?
- Posted it two months ago.
Got a black eye.
Then, let's go with a softer
approach.
You talk to him.
Me?
I thought you were here to
quilt the night.
Yeah, but I do that stuff
online.
You've learned more than what
they post, Lindy.
They lie, they embellish.
You can only know that
face to face.
- You wanted to help.
- But...
- Is that Max's phone?
- Yeah.
Just imaged his phone.
We have everything now.
- Can't decide?
- Yeah, I've hardly slept.
I need some energy.
Try a slingshot.
What's that?
One-third cola,
two-thirds coffee, over ice.
Thanks.
Are... are you a cop?
'Cause, uh, you don't look
like a cop.
I guess I'll take
that as a compliment.
No, I'm helping them out
with stuff.
- Cyber stuff?
- Yeah.
What, like kiddie porn
and terrorists?
No, like finding five missing
kids using their social media.
So, that's how the
detectives knew I was supplying
my friends with meds, right?
Right.
Listen...
I know what it's like to have
someone you care about go
missing.
How?
My sister disappeared.
Sorry to hear.
Yeah, I'm an only child, so,
I think my parents would be happy
if their freak son disappeared.
You don't look like a freak.
Well, you don't know me, so...
Listen, they're gonna find
your friends, okay?
I promise.
I thought you people weren't
supposed to promise stuff.
I'm not these people.
Oh, and here.
Thanks.
Forensics say she was struck
by a blunt instrument.
Cause of death is drowning.
This just took a bad turn.
And it's about to become
a real mess out there.
Once the press knows Amy
Bryant's a homicide,
these missing kids are all anyone's
gonna be talking about in this city.
There's still no word on
the driver.
What about Max?
Somebody needs to tell him
his friend is dead.
We need to wait until it's
the right time.
Right time? He needs to
know what happened.
And what if he's the one
who killed her?
Everybody, take a beat.
What do we got?
Amy had a phone on her.
Geo location services were turned
off, GoPro camera around her wrist.
Where did that camera come from?
All the footage from last night
came from smartphones.
I think I know where it's from.
It's the driver's.
Yeah, well, unfortunately,
he didn't fork out the 50 bucks
for the waterproof case.
It's full of sea water.
The data is still intact when
it gets wet.
You have to put the chip in
distilled water to get rid of
the salt and minerals.
Then, dry it out using rice.
How long will the retrieval take?
A couple of hours.
These chips are pretty well
enclosed, it should work.
Then, we wait.
Well, I'm not waiting to
tell Max.
Lindy.
Let her, but watch him.
Watch how he reacts.
I... I don't understand.
Amy's dead?
Y- y-you're lying. Okay,
this is some kind of trick.
I don't understand what
you're saying to me, okay?
Th... this is not happening. Okay,
this can not be happening, okay?
I... I know Amy put up a front,
but she was a good person, okay?
Why would somebody try to
kill her?
Max?
Tell me what really happened
last night.
Look, I don't remember.
I don't.
Well, your tox screen says you
didn't ingest any drugs or alcohol.
You've been lying, Max.
- Why?
- What, so now, you think
I killed her?
Is that what you're saying?
Look, I would never hurt Amy.
We can't help you unless you
tell us the truth.
What happened?
You don't understand what's
going on here.
Look, are you charging me?
Not yet.
All right, well, then I think
I've said enough here!
I thought you said you weren't
one of them.
Follow him. Either he killed
her or he knows who did.
Max had nothing to do with
Amy's death.
Is this a feeling you're going
with, or you have any proof?
Why didn't you tell me you
had his tox screen?
Because we work for the New York
police department and you don't.
And that is what we call proof.
Well, he had no idea
she was dead.
He's been texting her.
What?
I loaded Spyware on his phone.
You can't just give a suspect
back a piece of evidence.
What we don't see,
we don't know.
Now, we can track him.
I've decided to put both of
you on this.
Now, find me
something we can use.
What are you doing?
She's a source on another case.
And she's made a bond with the
kid at the center of this one.
We use her.
You're doing this on purpose,
aren't you?
No, detective.
Everything I do is on purpose.
Now, work with her.
I told you guys this was the
best pizza in the city.
Well, all I know is this is the
best sponge to soak up the alcohol.
Maybe you should stop drinking.
Aw, come on!
No!
- Yeah!
- Yo, guys.
The psychic? Uh, no way,
that stuff is creepy.
Oh, yeah.
- We are so doing this.
- No! Come on.
We are not so doing this.
You brought the
psychic on the bus?
- That's so funny, man.
- Yeah, I know.
Check out Aaron's new
girlfriend.
He likes you,
the sporty one, huh?
But, he is not the one.
Wait, really?
Really.
Okay, Ethan's turn.
Ethan's turn.
Okay, witchy.
Just try and scare me.
I'm sorry.
A boy so young should never
lose his father.
Who told her?
Who told her?
Who told her?
Okay, my turn.
Oh, your hands,
they are so cold.
Runs in the family.
What is she doing?
You guys.
Why won't you answer me?
This isn't funny.
I'm so cold, so thirsty.
I'm gonna die in here!
Please, somebody let me out of
here, I can't breathe.
Let me out!
You gave quite the performance
for those kids, madam.
Call me Ruth.
They paid you.
Well, I'm not running a charity.
They paid you to tell a story.
We all tell stories.
Look, I'm an entertainer.
That girl told me exactly what to say...
some ghost story she believed.
She wanted to scare her friends. What
can I tell you, I put on a good show.
Was this a show?
You know what that was, right?
That was The Stowaway.
The Stowaway.
Yeah, right!
Hey, listen. You better
stay away from the water.
What?
I'm serious. You need
to stay away from water.
Not funny.
I did... I mean,
what was that?
The rantings of a crazy person?
She was hit over the head
and drowned.
It seems a bit of a coincidence.
She should have listened.
Who paid you to say that to her?
No one.
Look, I could try and explain to
you how I work, but I have a
feeling you wouldn't respect it.
Try me.
Some stories I am paid to tell,
some stories tell themselves.
Can I go?
Yeah.
Scam artist.
Something else is happening
here.
Something we can't explain.
Mmm, everything can be explained.
I'm not sure about that. I got some
footage off the driver's camera.
Everything else was corrupted.
What about your friends?
They're out exploring.
I want to explore you.
Wait.
Are you filming this?
It's, uh, for security.
Let's give it a show, then.
What the hell was that?
Your friends?
Oh, my God, did you see that?
He's here!
Who's here?
The Stowaway, you idiot!
Do something!
It's just a joke by your
friends.
Hello?
Where are you going?
What the hell was that?
I don't know.
Still think Max killed Amy?
The Stowaway.
Are you serious?
It's one of those Internet
ghost stories.
Please don't tell me you
believe in this.
I believe these kids did.
What's it about?
Ten years ago, a group of
high school friends snuck onto a
derelict ship that was docked
in New Orleans.
It was a dare, but more like a
big excuse to get lost and laid.
That's right!
Of course, there was the loser of the
group who always tried to tag along.
So, one day, they decided to
prank him by locking him in
the engine room.
Wait, wait, I read this.
And then, when the police came,
the kids ran, leaving him
trapped.
Don't tell me.
They all assumed that somebody
was gonna go back and let them
out, but none of them did.
He was so far down in that boat,
that none of his texts went through.
He went crazy.
He scratched at the door until
his fingernails tore off.
Screamed until his vocal chords
bled.
When they finally found his
corpse, it was a mummy.
His eyes were eaten out by rats.
They say that The Stowaway
preys on teenage kids in revenge
if they go to the docks at night.
Let's go look for him.
No way.
Yes way.
The reason their phone
signals went dead is because
they went inside a ship
searching for The Stowaway.
That's where we need to look.
You want me to ask for a
search warrant based on the
chupacabra of the sea.
Tommy, please, I am serious.
The port of New York is the
third largest in the country.
5,000 ships go in and out of
that harbor every year.
That ship could be docked in a
25-mile radius.
A search would take weeks.
Yeah, but the driver knows
where they are.
Why do you think half of new
York's uniforms are looking for him?
Don't you get it?
Look, every video file from the GoPro camera
has a unique serial number embedded in it.
I'm conducting a search to see if the driver's
camera has ever uploaded any video online.
This is why the driver kept a
GoPro mounted on the dash...
So he could secretly upload
party bus footage.
He has a paywall on everything.
And guess who just logged into the
party bus as admin 40 minutes ago?
IP address results to a point of
presence next to a motel in Jersey.
What have you done with
the kids?
You don't understand...
Where are they?
- You don't understand.
- Where are they?!
I left them at the boat.
It was him, he tried to kill me.
Who tried to kill you?
The Stowaway.
The Stowaway, I'm telling you
the truth.
That some ghost took the kids?
What about Amy Bryant, huh? How
did she end up in the East river?
I don't know, I don't know.
It wasn't me.
After I was attacked, I ran.
I'm telling you the truth.
Look.
My camera automatically uploads
footage to my cloud account.
But, I received a notification
that a video was uploaded.
Go.
Go!
Max.
Guys?
Looks like an abandoned ship
to me.
It's him.
He's gonna get me.
We never should have come.
Where are you guys?
Leave me alone!
I haven't done anything wrong!
Oh, my God.
She recorded her own murder.
Yeah, but murdered by who?
Or what?
Someone pushed Amy off this boat,
and I'm guessing we're not ready
to go with ghosts quite yet.
The footage of Amy and the driver
being attacked was posted online.
It's all over the Internet,
and under "Stowaway Attack."
Damn.
Bring Max Jeter back in.
We lost his tail, phone
is offline. Stay back.
Clear.
In here!
We're in here!
Help!
Thank God. Thank God.
We were looking for
The Stowaway.
It was just some fun,
some stupid fun.
I can't believe Amy is dead.
Tell me everything that
happened that night.
We were messing around,
searching the boat.
Then, there was this sound,
this wailing.
Everywhere, like... like we
were being followed.
Stalked.
We ran. Someone locked
us in and left us there.
And Max?
What about him?
Should I even be talking to you...
I mean, without a lawyer here?
Of course, I wanna help.
Max.
Max was...
He was a loser at our school.
Good meds, though.
I never even spoke more than
five words to Max, until...
What five words?
Can I borrow a pen?
And then her parents pull her
out of school early for a six
week vacay to Florence, Italy?
Six weeks?
That's kinda long for a family
vacation.
She comes back, and Max is
like her best friend.
She was in treatment.
How do you know?
Because my parents sent my
sister away for six weeks once.
Amy met Max when she was
admitted into Firenze...
Florence Recovery Center for an
eating disorder.
What was he being treated for?
Severe depression,
attempted suicide.
That's why they got so close.
Amy was the artist, and Max was
into movies and special effects.
And that is where they created
The Stowaway legend together.
You know all this, how?
I accessed their patient
records.
Accessed?
Try hacked.
It's not exactly a stretch
to see The Stowaway as a
representation of their psychology.
Amy was terrified she would
starve herself to death, and Max
felt abandoned by his parents.
And this is where it all
happened.
Max and Amy created The Stowaway
on this boat, right here.
The whole plan was to create a night
that would scare their friends so much,
that the
stowaway footage would go viral.
So, Max didn't kill Amy.
No.
They tried to save one another.
If you're right, Amy would
get the driver high while Max
scared the rest of her friends
on the ship.
He uses a P.A. System to broadcast
the wailing they talked about.
And after Max locks them in,
they're all so drunk or high
that they wanna be scared.
Where are you going?
Hello?
Max wore some kind of mask
that Amy made.
Even the bus driver believes
he saw The Stowaway and
corroborates the story.
Serves him right.
Jerk gave me the creeps.
Max moves the bus, trashes it.
The whole plan is for him to
pretend like he has amnesia,
while Amy takes the driver's
camera onto the ship and starts
filming herself.
It's him.
We never should have come!
Right here.
And then, someone chases her?
Leave me alone!
I haven't done anything wrong.
No.
This whole thing was an act.
No one was chasing her.
It's dark, and...
She tripped.
Yes.
And hit her head here,
falling overboard.
Amy's death was an accident.
Where are they?
Your friends?
We let them out.
Is that where Amy fell?
We think so.
It was an accident.
What do you mean, it was
an accident?
She was filming herself,
and she tripped.
No.
There's nothing you could
have done.
You don't get it, do you?
All right?
That whole night was my idea.
I... she'd still be alive
if it wasn't for me.
Max, you can't do that
to yourself.
Max!
Here we go.
The Stowaway.
Where did The Stowaway die
again?
The engine room.
Then we start there.
Which way?
Already on it.
I can't get a signal.
Then, let's go old school.
Left.
No, wait... right.
Sorry, I...
My dad's terrible with
directions, too.
That's nice.
That way.
It's real nice.
Over there.
Max?
Max, are you in there?
Max!
Go away.
Max, listen to me, it is
not your fault.
Go away!
I have to finish what I started.
Max, open the door!
She's dead because of me.
Get out of here!
You smell that?
Gas.
We have to open this door...
No, no, no, you can't
stay here, it's not safe.
One spark, and this place
will blow.
I'm the cop here, I can decide
how this goes.
No! No, but we have...
Ben would never forgive me
if something happened to you.
Now, go.
Okay. But, I'm only leaving
because I have an idea.
Let's hope it's good enough
to save two lives.
Go.
Max, listen to me.
You really don't wanna do this.
Damn it, Max, you're gonna
suffocate! Come on!
Hey, I'm sorry we don't hang
out as much anymore.
Me too, but come on.
Max is freaking weird, Amy.
We're all weird.
You don't get it.
Max saved me. He's given me
the best six months of my life.
I can't imagine I could ever be
happier than tonight.
I'll always love him for it.
Always.
Max, come on,
you can't do this.
Max, listen to me.
I know when you lose someone you love,
it leaves you unsure of how
you're gonna live in this world.
But, all those things that they
do inspire you to make you
better, make you laugh.
Those things can only live on
in you now.
It's your responsibility to show the world
how Amy made the world a better place.
You listen to me, Max.
You do this now, and you can be
sure Amy will be gone forever.
Please, Max.
Open the door.
I gotcha. Come on.
Oh, my God, Tommy!
So, I thought you found the
kids, case is closed.
It is, I just need you to
sign your statement.
You sure that's the only
reason why I'm here?
Her name is Sara.
Where is she?
Hmm, so now, you're a believer.
Alive, that's all I can
tell you.
Thank you.
- We thought so.
- That'll be $150.
Tell her.
Tell her what?
The thing you've been keeping
a secret.
She might be the one you've been
looking for.
I'm not looking for anyone.
Sweetheart, we're all looking
for something.
Isn't that why we're here?
Is this you trying to tell me
my fortune?
No, this is me telling you
anyone half-awake can see how
much you care about that girl.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What was she doing here?
Just had to close up the file.
Coffee?
I just figured if you're gonna
keep dropping by,
we should figure out
how this is gonna work.
How's this gonna work?
I'm the cop, you're the source.
Source works for the cop.
The source listens to the cop.
The cop is always right.
So, like a rock, paper, scissors thing.
Nope, like a cop thing.
Hey, didn't you wanna talk about
something when you came in the
other day?
Yeah, no, it's all good.
Stay away from Jake Bolin.
On your knees!
Someone set him up.
He's not our guy.
I asked you to consult on
this case, but I...
I don't get to pick to leave,
not until we catch him.
Who have you been talking to?
Hackers don't usually work
with the police.
On Sara's birthday, I gave it
to her as a present.
We should all be reminded of
what we've lost.
Guys, come on!
This is awesome.
Let's make this happen already.
Is she gonna be like this
all night?
Uh, what do you think?
Roller coaster Amy.
Hey, I'm just in it for the
free booze.
Yo, Jessica, wait up!
What's going on with that, anyway?
I'm dating a Rubik's Cube.
I don't know which side I'm
gonna get or what combination.
The sex is great, but who knows
the dating desert out there.
- Come on!
- Right, Max?
It's a dating desert out there,
huh?
Yeah, whatever you say, Aaron.
- God, you are so serious.
- Why is he even here?
I have no idea.
Welcome to paradise!
This is crazy.
Look at the lights.
I will be your hostess for
our last night of innocence.
Oh, please, we cashed that in
years ago.
Everyone, this is Jarek,
our pilot.
Wait, wait, wait, we need
a picture.
Kiss high school goodbye,
losers!
You only live once!
Who even says that anymore?
Just say it, bitches.
Yolo!
Guys?
Where is everybody?
Come on, where are you?
Where are you?!
Guys?!
Amy! Where are you?!
We go now live to a report by
Gina Simmons
on five missing students.
It appears to have been about
a day and a half since the high
school students went missing.
Max Jeter, one of those
students, was found unconscious
early yesterday morning, and is working
with police on the investigation.
Hey.
We need to talk.
Kinda busy at the moment.
What's going on?
Six kids rented a party bus
to celebrate their high school graduation.
Five of them are missing,
the driver's also MIA.
Listen up, everyone,
it's confirmed.
Driver has a record, Major
Crimes has their suspect.
We need to fill in the gaps
and find these kids.
What about the boy with
the police?
Says he can't remember anything.
We're getting Max Jeter this
afternoon, I want you to interview him.
His parents?
They're in the foreign
service in Nigeria.
This is friendly, okay?
No lawyer in tow.
Find something to jog his
memory.
This is all their social
media, isn't it?
All their texts, photos, posts.
You're rebuilding the night from
everything they posted on the Internet.
This is what we do here.
People have no idea the trail of
information they expose to the world.
Some of us do.
But, it stops at exactly
1:46 A.M.
- Yeah, good catch.
- Why?
We don't know. Either they went
somewhere out of range,
or someone blocked
their signals.
I can help you quilt the night.
- Quilt?
- All this stuff...
make it make sense
like it makes sense to them.
I'm really good.
I'm really fast.
- How fast?
- Fast.
- Show us.
- Sergeant, really?
This has nothing to do with the
Flirtual killer.
Humor me.
I probably speak these kids' language
way better than a room
full of uptight cops.
This, I need to see.
- Who you calling uptight?
- Excuse me.
Amy Bryant booked the bus using
her parents' credit card.
She organized the whole thing.
Looks like they've all been
friends through high school.
Except Max.
Loner, stoner.
Except for when it comes to Amy.
Can't tell if it's a sex thing,
friend thing.
Or both.
Morgan, Jessica, and Amy used
to be best friends.
Sidebars seem to indicate they
haven't seen much of Amy since
she started hanging out
with Max.
Looks like Amy and Aaron
used to date.
Now, Aaron has a thing for Jessica,
but she's clearly not into it.
You gonna answer that?
No.
Have you seen him since...
Since he was accidentally
arrested at my surprise birthday
party for being a serial killer?
No.
You wanna see him?
I hadn't really thought about it.
Well, clearly, he wants
to see you.
Do you wanna find these kids
or not?
All right, Ethan does homework for his
friends, and accepts drugs as payment.
Nice kid.
He wouldn't be the first.
Max scores uppers and downers
for the group from his parents'
stash.
How do you know?
I, uh, might have accessed
their pharmacy accounts.
Mmm, do I need to remind you
that we don't do that here?
And who needs to know?
I'm sure his lawyers would
like to.
What do you want me to say?
Doesn't that seem weird to you?
Everything just stopped.
Everyone stopped using their
phones.
I mean, I guess. Yeah... I mean, I
don't remember anything, all right?
Just like I told the other
detectives.
Well, tell me again.
We were partying, things got a
little crazy, and I blacked out.
Was that before or after you
handed out your parents' pills?
How do you know about that?
We just know.
Well, am I in trouble?
If you don't tell us
everything you know.
Look, everybody remembers
something.
So, let's start with something.
How 'bout the beginning of
the night?
This isn't gonna work.
We need this boy to open up.
There are five sets of
incredibly frightened parents
wanting to know where their
kids are.
Max doesn't love the police.
Got searched for suspicion of
weed possession on the subway.
Said they harassed him.
- When?
- Posted it two months ago.
Got a black eye.
Then, let's go with a softer
approach.
You talk to him.
Me?
I thought you were here to
quilt the night.
Yeah, but I do that stuff
online.
You've learned more than what
they post, Lindy.
They lie, they embellish.
You can only know that
face to face.
- You wanted to help.
- But...
- Is that Max's phone?
- Yeah.
Just imaged his phone.
We have everything now.
- Can't decide?
- Yeah, I've hardly slept.
I need some energy.
Try a slingshot.
What's that?
One-third cola,
two-thirds coffee, over ice.
Thanks.
Are... are you a cop?
'Cause, uh, you don't look
like a cop.
I guess I'll take
that as a compliment.
No, I'm helping them out
with stuff.
- Cyber stuff?
- Yeah.
What, like kiddie porn
and terrorists?
No, like finding five missing
kids using their social media.
So, that's how the
detectives knew I was supplying
my friends with meds, right?
Right.
Listen...
I know what it's like to have
someone you care about go
missing.
How?
My sister disappeared.
Sorry to hear.
Yeah, I'm an only child, so,
I think my parents would be happy
if their freak son disappeared.
You don't look like a freak.
Well, you don't know me, so...
Listen, they're gonna find
your friends, okay?
I promise.
I thought you people weren't
supposed to promise stuff.
I'm not these people.
Oh, and here.
Thanks.
Forensics say she was struck
by a blunt instrument.
Cause of death is drowning.
This just took a bad turn.
And it's about to become
a real mess out there.
Once the press knows Amy
Bryant's a homicide,
these missing kids are all anyone's
gonna be talking about in this city.
There's still no word on
the driver.
What about Max?
Somebody needs to tell him
his friend is dead.
We need to wait until it's
the right time.
Right time? He needs to
know what happened.
And what if he's the one
who killed her?
Everybody, take a beat.
What do we got?
Amy had a phone on her.
Geo location services were turned
off, GoPro camera around her wrist.
Where did that camera come from?
All the footage from last night
came from smartphones.
I think I know where it's from.
It's the driver's.
Yeah, well, unfortunately,
he didn't fork out the 50 bucks
for the waterproof case.
It's full of sea water.
The data is still intact when
it gets wet.
You have to put the chip in
distilled water to get rid of
the salt and minerals.
Then, dry it out using rice.
How long will the retrieval take?
A couple of hours.
These chips are pretty well
enclosed, it should work.
Then, we wait.
Well, I'm not waiting to
tell Max.
Lindy.
Let her, but watch him.
Watch how he reacts.
I... I don't understand.
Amy's dead?
Y- y-you're lying. Okay,
this is some kind of trick.
I don't understand what
you're saying to me, okay?
Th... this is not happening. Okay,
this can not be happening, okay?
I... I know Amy put up a front,
but she was a good person, okay?
Why would somebody try to
kill her?
Max?
Tell me what really happened
last night.
Look, I don't remember.
I don't.
Well, your tox screen says you
didn't ingest any drugs or alcohol.
You've been lying, Max.
- Why?
- What, so now, you think
I killed her?
Is that what you're saying?
Look, I would never hurt Amy.
We can't help you unless you
tell us the truth.
What happened?
You don't understand what's
going on here.
Look, are you charging me?
Not yet.
All right, well, then I think
I've said enough here!
I thought you said you weren't
one of them.
Follow him. Either he killed
her or he knows who did.
Max had nothing to do with
Amy's death.
Is this a feeling you're going
with, or you have any proof?
Why didn't you tell me you
had his tox screen?
Because we work for the New York
police department and you don't.
And that is what we call proof.
Well, he had no idea
she was dead.
He's been texting her.
What?
I loaded Spyware on his phone.
You can't just give a suspect
back a piece of evidence.
What we don't see,
we don't know.
Now, we can track him.
I've decided to put both of
you on this.
Now, find me
something we can use.
What are you doing?
She's a source on another case.
And she's made a bond with the
kid at the center of this one.
We use her.
You're doing this on purpose,
aren't you?
No, detective.
Everything I do is on purpose.
Now, work with her.
I told you guys this was the
best pizza in the city.
Well, all I know is this is the
best sponge to soak up the alcohol.
Maybe you should stop drinking.
Aw, come on!
No!
- Yeah!
- Yo, guys.
The psychic? Uh, no way,
that stuff is creepy.
Oh, yeah.
- We are so doing this.
- No! Come on.
We are not so doing this.
You brought the
psychic on the bus?
- That's so funny, man.
- Yeah, I know.
Check out Aaron's new
girlfriend.
He likes you,
the sporty one, huh?
But, he is not the one.
Wait, really?
Really.
Okay, Ethan's turn.
Ethan's turn.
Okay, witchy.
Just try and scare me.
I'm sorry.
A boy so young should never
lose his father.
Who told her?
Who told her?
Who told her?
Okay, my turn.
Oh, your hands,
they are so cold.
Runs in the family.
What is she doing?
You guys.
Why won't you answer me?
This isn't funny.
I'm so cold, so thirsty.
I'm gonna die in here!
Please, somebody let me out of
here, I can't breathe.
Let me out!
You gave quite the performance
for those kids, madam.
Call me Ruth.
They paid you.
Well, I'm not running a charity.
They paid you to tell a story.
We all tell stories.
Look, I'm an entertainer.
That girl told me exactly what to say...
some ghost story she believed.
She wanted to scare her friends. What
can I tell you, I put on a good show.
Was this a show?
You know what that was, right?
That was The Stowaway.
The Stowaway.
Yeah, right!
Hey, listen. You better
stay away from the water.
What?
I'm serious. You need
to stay away from water.
Not funny.
I did... I mean,
what was that?
The rantings of a crazy person?
She was hit over the head
and drowned.
It seems a bit of a coincidence.
She should have listened.
Who paid you to say that to her?
No one.
Look, I could try and explain to
you how I work, but I have a
feeling you wouldn't respect it.
Try me.
Some stories I am paid to tell,
some stories tell themselves.
Can I go?
Yeah.
Scam artist.
Something else is happening
here.
Something we can't explain.
Mmm, everything can be explained.
I'm not sure about that. I got some
footage off the driver's camera.
Everything else was corrupted.
What about your friends?
They're out exploring.
I want to explore you.
Wait.
Are you filming this?
It's, uh, for security.
Let's give it a show, then.
What the hell was that?
Your friends?
Oh, my God, did you see that?
He's here!
Who's here?
The Stowaway, you idiot!
Do something!
It's just a joke by your
friends.
Hello?
Where are you going?
What the hell was that?
I don't know.
Still think Max killed Amy?
The Stowaway.
Are you serious?
It's one of those Internet
ghost stories.
Please don't tell me you
believe in this.
I believe these kids did.
What's it about?
Ten years ago, a group of
high school friends snuck onto a
derelict ship that was docked
in New Orleans.
It was a dare, but more like a
big excuse to get lost and laid.
That's right!
Of course, there was the loser of the
group who always tried to tag along.
So, one day, they decided to
prank him by locking him in
the engine room.
Wait, wait, I read this.
And then, when the police came,
the kids ran, leaving him
trapped.
Don't tell me.
They all assumed that somebody
was gonna go back and let them
out, but none of them did.
He was so far down in that boat,
that none of his texts went through.
He went crazy.
He scratched at the door until
his fingernails tore off.
Screamed until his vocal chords
bled.
When they finally found his
corpse, it was a mummy.
His eyes were eaten out by rats.
They say that The Stowaway
preys on teenage kids in revenge
if they go to the docks at night.
Let's go look for him.
No way.
Yes way.
The reason their phone
signals went dead is because
they went inside a ship
searching for The Stowaway.
That's where we need to look.
You want me to ask for a
search warrant based on the
chupacabra of the sea.
Tommy, please, I am serious.
The port of New York is the
third largest in the country.
5,000 ships go in and out of
that harbor every year.
That ship could be docked in a
25-mile radius.
A search would take weeks.
Yeah, but the driver knows
where they are.
Why do you think half of new
York's uniforms are looking for him?
Don't you get it?
Look, every video file from the GoPro camera
has a unique serial number embedded in it.
I'm conducting a search to see if the driver's
camera has ever uploaded any video online.
This is why the driver kept a
GoPro mounted on the dash...
So he could secretly upload
party bus footage.
He has a paywall on everything.
And guess who just logged into the
party bus as admin 40 minutes ago?
IP address results to a point of
presence next to a motel in Jersey.
What have you done with
the kids?
You don't understand...
Where are they?
- You don't understand.
- Where are they?!
I left them at the boat.
It was him, he tried to kill me.
Who tried to kill you?
The Stowaway.
The Stowaway, I'm telling you
the truth.
That some ghost took the kids?
What about Amy Bryant, huh? How
did she end up in the East river?
I don't know, I don't know.
It wasn't me.
After I was attacked, I ran.
I'm telling you the truth.
Look.
My camera automatically uploads
footage to my cloud account.
But, I received a notification
that a video was uploaded.
Go.
Go!
Max.
Guys?
Looks like an abandoned ship
to me.
It's him.
He's gonna get me.
We never should have come.
Where are you guys?
Leave me alone!
I haven't done anything wrong!
Oh, my God.
She recorded her own murder.
Yeah, but murdered by who?
Or what?
Someone pushed Amy off this boat,
and I'm guessing we're not ready
to go with ghosts quite yet.
The footage of Amy and the driver
being attacked was posted online.
It's all over the Internet,
and under "Stowaway Attack."
Damn.
Bring Max Jeter back in.
We lost his tail, phone
is offline. Stay back.
Clear.
In here!
We're in here!
Help!
Thank God. Thank God.
We were looking for
The Stowaway.
It was just some fun,
some stupid fun.
I can't believe Amy is dead.
Tell me everything that
happened that night.
We were messing around,
searching the boat.
Then, there was this sound,
this wailing.
Everywhere, like... like we
were being followed.
Stalked.
We ran. Someone locked
us in and left us there.
And Max?
What about him?
Should I even be talking to you...
I mean, without a lawyer here?
Of course, I wanna help.
Max.
Max was...
He was a loser at our school.
Good meds, though.
I never even spoke more than
five words to Max, until...
What five words?
Can I borrow a pen?
And then her parents pull her
out of school early for a six
week vacay to Florence, Italy?
Six weeks?
That's kinda long for a family
vacation.
She comes back, and Max is
like her best friend.
She was in treatment.
How do you know?
Because my parents sent my
sister away for six weeks once.
Amy met Max when she was
admitted into Firenze...
Florence Recovery Center for an
eating disorder.
What was he being treated for?
Severe depression,
attempted suicide.
That's why they got so close.
Amy was the artist, and Max was
into movies and special effects.
And that is where they created
The Stowaway legend together.
You know all this, how?
I accessed their patient
records.
Accessed?
Try hacked.
It's not exactly a stretch
to see The Stowaway as a
representation of their psychology.
Amy was terrified she would
starve herself to death, and Max
felt abandoned by his parents.
And this is where it all
happened.
Max and Amy created The Stowaway
on this boat, right here.
The whole plan was to create a night
that would scare their friends so much,
that the
stowaway footage would go viral.
So, Max didn't kill Amy.
No.
They tried to save one another.
If you're right, Amy would
get the driver high while Max
scared the rest of her friends
on the ship.
He uses a P.A. System to broadcast
the wailing they talked about.
And after Max locks them in,
they're all so drunk or high
that they wanna be scared.
Where are you going?
Hello?
Max wore some kind of mask
that Amy made.
Even the bus driver believes
he saw The Stowaway and
corroborates the story.
Serves him right.
Jerk gave me the creeps.
Max moves the bus, trashes it.
The whole plan is for him to
pretend like he has amnesia,
while Amy takes the driver's
camera onto the ship and starts
filming herself.
It's him.
We never should have come!
Right here.
And then, someone chases her?
Leave me alone!
I haven't done anything wrong.
No.
This whole thing was an act.
No one was chasing her.
It's dark, and...
She tripped.
Yes.
And hit her head here,
falling overboard.
Amy's death was an accident.
Where are they?
Your friends?
We let them out.
Is that where Amy fell?
We think so.
It was an accident.
What do you mean, it was
an accident?
She was filming herself,
and she tripped.
No.
There's nothing you could
have done.
You don't get it, do you?
All right?
That whole night was my idea.
I... she'd still be alive
if it wasn't for me.
Max, you can't do that
to yourself.
Max!
Here we go.
The Stowaway.
Where did The Stowaway die
again?
The engine room.
Then we start there.
Which way?
Already on it.
I can't get a signal.
Then, let's go old school.
Left.
No, wait... right.
Sorry, I...
My dad's terrible with
directions, too.
That's nice.
That way.
It's real nice.
Over there.
Max?
Max, are you in there?
Max!
Go away.
Max, listen to me, it is
not your fault.
Go away!
I have to finish what I started.
Max, open the door!
She's dead because of me.
Get out of here!
You smell that?
Gas.
We have to open this door...
No, no, no, you can't
stay here, it's not safe.
One spark, and this place
will blow.
I'm the cop here, I can decide
how this goes.
No! No, but we have...
Ben would never forgive me
if something happened to you.
Now, go.
Okay. But, I'm only leaving
because I have an idea.
Let's hope it's good enough
to save two lives.
Go.
Max, listen to me.
You really don't wanna do this.
Damn it, Max, you're gonna
suffocate! Come on!
Hey, I'm sorry we don't hang
out as much anymore.
Me too, but come on.
Max is freaking weird, Amy.
We're all weird.
You don't get it.
Max saved me. He's given me
the best six months of my life.
I can't imagine I could ever be
happier than tonight.
I'll always love him for it.
Always.
Max, come on,
you can't do this.
Max, listen to me.
I know when you lose someone you love,
it leaves you unsure of how
you're gonna live in this world.
But, all those things that they
do inspire you to make you
better, make you laugh.
Those things can only live on
in you now.
It's your responsibility to show the world
how Amy made the world a better place.
You listen to me, Max.
You do this now, and you can be
sure Amy will be gone forever.
Please, Max.
Open the door.
I gotcha. Come on.
Oh, my God, Tommy!
So, I thought you found the
kids, case is closed.
It is, I just need you to
sign your statement.
You sure that's the only
reason why I'm here?
Her name is Sara.
Where is she?
Hmm, so now, you're a believer.
Alive, that's all I can
tell you.
Thank you.
- We thought so.
- That'll be $150.
Tell her.
Tell her what?
The thing you've been keeping
a secret.
She might be the one you've been
looking for.
I'm not looking for anyone.
Sweetheart, we're all looking
for something.
Isn't that why we're here?
Is this you trying to tell me
my fortune?
No, this is me telling you
anyone half-awake can see how
much you care about that girl.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What was she doing here?
Just had to close up the file.
Coffee?
I just figured if you're gonna
keep dropping by,
we should figure out
how this is gonna work.
How's this gonna work?
I'm the cop, you're the source.
Source works for the cop.
The source listens to the cop.
The cop is always right.
So, like a rock, paper, scissors thing.
Nope, like a cop thing.
Hey, didn't you wanna talk about
something when you came in the
other day?
Yeah, no, it's all good.
