This is a transcript authorization request,
a release of immunization request,
and, finally, the application itself.
Okay, I will get these
back to you as soon as possible.
Wonderful.
Okay, so after I submit these, um...
I'm assuming that there'll be a spot for my daughter
in January, correct?
Once you've submitted the materials,
we'll set up an interview.
I need to meet Hannah.
That's not going to happen.
Why is that?
She's not here.
She's, uh, she doesn't even know she's coming...
and I don't want to tell her until I have everything set up.
May I ask why this sudden move?
Because she's coming to live with me.
I've been doing this a long time.
When a student moves to a different city mid-year,
there's usually more to it than that.
Yes, I understand that there is, but I don't see
how any of my personal family business is any of your concern.
It's important to the school
we know as much background as possible.
All I want to know is,
will there be a spot for her in January?
It's likely there will be a spot.
I don't know that this is a good fit.
That is not a yes.
No, it's not.
(knocking on window)
Yes, Officer?
You can't park here; this is a no-stopping zone.
Oh, I'm picking up my daughter.
I'll... I'll just be a minute.
If it gets to be more than that,
you'll need to drive around the block.
Oh, okay.
Have a good one.
(school bell ringing)
(kids shouting playfully)
Daphne!
DAPHNE: Um, I'll see you guys later.
Text me. Text me.
(sing-songy): Hello! Mom, Mom, Mom...
What are you doing here?
It's a half day for you.
I thought it'd be fun if we had the afternoon together.
We could go shopping,
get an outfit... What about Dad?
Oh, I already talked to him.
He said it was gonna be all right. Seriously?
Yes! It took some convincing, but he gave in.
He didn't call me. I-I...
I know. We thought it'd be a fun surprise.
Dad? Since when does he like surprises?
I know. But, hey,
let's not look a gift horse in the mouth.
We could go to Ruby Foo's--
chow fun, egg rolls.
What do you say? Come on.
I guess that sounds good.
Great! Give me your backpack.
Let's get out of here.
(sighs)
I got here a little late.
I couldn't find Daphne anywhere.
Some crossing guard told me she left with a woman.
Okay. Which crossing guard?
His name is Bill Drummer.
So, I call my girlfriend; it's not her.
I know it's my ex-wife, I know it.
Okay, this is what we're going to do.
I have agents here at the school.
They're talking to witnesses...
You don't understand.
My ex-wife has serious psychological problems.
She's completely unbalanced and certainly in no position
to be taking care of my daughter.
Sir, I do understand. I've been through this myself.
I know the pain is horrific.
But I promise you,
we're going to bring her back.
Okay? Now I need you to please go home.
I'm going to have agents get there ASAP
and they're going to interview you at length.
Okay.
I was just late.
I was just a little late.
It's okay. We'll take care of it.
I'm gonna have this officer... Come here.
He's going to take you to your car.
(sighs): Wow.
Hey, listen, a beat cop saw a woman,
matching Sheri Brinkman's description
and driving a a green S.U.V.
Okay. Did they get a plate?
Unfortunately not. It was just a partial-- and "H" and a "2."
Apparently Mr. Brinkman has sole custody of Daphne.
He told the school, but no one caught it.
You'd think these places would do a better job
keeping track of who picks up the kids.
You know, I'm hoping this lady, maybe she wanted to spend
the afternoon the kid and she...
she's going to bring the daughter back home.
I wouldn't count on it. Viv just sent me this text.
Sheri Brinkman cleared out her entire bank account
and quit her job.
She's not coming back.
SAMANTHA: Look, I know this is
a difficult time for you all, but I have to ask this.
Has Daphne's mother ever tried to harm her?
No, not physically. No.
Was there any psychological abuse?
Yeah, in a way.
Uh, Sheri was diagnosed with bipolar disorder
right after we were divorced two years ago.
And it's very hard on a child,
never knowing what to expect.
One minute's Sheri's, you know, up and wants to go the zoo;
and the next, she's sobbing and won't get out of the car.
Was your daughter aware of her mother's mental condition?
Yes. She was aware that she could only have
supervised visits with either me or the social worker.
Okay. How long have you two been living together?
Uh, a little over a year.
And how did Sheri react to your moving in?
She didn't like it at first, obviously,
but she knew that Rick and I tried to make
a good home for Daphne.
JACK: Mike,
did you, uh, talk to her much?
A little.
Did she ever talk about,
you know, running away with her mother?
Daphne's like 12.
We don't exactly hang out.
There's no way Daphne would go with Sheri on her own.
She knows the rules.
Well, has Sheri ever tried to take her before?
No. But last week, we got into it again,
and she threatened to file a petition against me.
What kind of petition?
It's like a visitation issue.
Daphne had some kind of stomach flu,
and, um, when she came home from the hospital,
Sheri insisted she have her visitation here, and I...
I said something I shouldn't have said.
"Tokhes," double-word score.
I mean, that's like a million points, right?
(laughing): Hey.
Oh... I'm not sure that's an appropriate word.
Oh, God. Come on, Rick.
Your mom used to say that.
What?! Did she?
Yeah, it's Yiddish for "moustache," right?
I mean, Gamma used to say that her neighbor has
an enormous tokhes.
Yeah, that's right, moustache.
Yeah.
Oh, Mom, did I tell you? I'm sewing you another jacket.
I'm using patchwork
from all of Gamma's quilts.
When I come by tomorrow afternoon,
I will bring you
my grandmother's velvet shawl.
Cool! No, that's perfect for the trim.
Can I speak to you for a second?
Thank you. Be right back.
What?
Tomorrow doesn't work for me. I've got a conference all day.
So? I can't see her?
No. Not without a social worker, no.
Oh. Really, Rick?
I can't visit my own sick daughter
without you breathing down my neck?
You know the agreement.
I'm sick of the agreement. It's not fair.
Um, I was going to have my lawyer call your lawyer,
but I might as well tell you now.
I took a job at Paget Brownfield in Seattle.
Seattle?
Yeah. The schools are great,
and Tia can be closer to her parents...
(stammering) Shh. Shh.
Does Daphne know?
No, she doesn't know yet.
We'll be making the move after the holidays.
Now, listen, if you want to spend Christmas with Daphne,
we can discuss it.
You... You can't do this.
You can't take Daphne away from me.
I... I won't let you.
Well, it's not your decision, Sheri.
I have to do what's best for the family.
What about my family?! Daphne is all I have!
My decision is final! You accept it!
Get out of here.
You know, maybe I shouldn't have told her like that,
but, uh, I-I just don't think
it would've made any difference, anyway, so.
All right. Sheri was driving a green S.U.V.
Any idea who might belong to?
No idea.
What about friends and family? Anybody she might turn to?
She's not close to any... any family
last I knew, and I,
I have no idea who she's friends with now.
How we doing?
Not great. Nothing's popped on Sheri Brinkman's apartment
or her phone records.
And none of her neighbors remember seeing a green Jeep.
Did any of them notice a change in her behavior?
No. But a couple across the hall,
they like her a lot.
They said she's nice, she's sweet, she's funny.
Well, you know, it appears
that her manic episodes are triggered by the divorce.
Listen to this.
Right after Mr. Brinkman, her ex, filed papers,
she disappeared for a month to hike the Adirondack trail.
When she returned, she was arrested for shoplifting,
and when security confronted her,
she responded by taking off her clothes to prove her innocence.
That'll get you hospitalized.
Yeah. And once she was diagnosed and they put her on meds,
she was doing fine until now.
Well, maybe Rick moving Daphne
to Seattle triggered another episode.
It's starting to appear that way, isn't it? (phone ringing)
Fitzgerald.
Yep. Mm-hmm.
Menken?
Okay, thanks.
Hey, we I.D'd the owner of the green Jeep
that Sheri was driving-- a Gail Menken.
Sheri asked me if she could borrow the Jeep
because she wanted to move stuff into storage.
I would never have loaned it to her if I thought
she was going to do something like this.
Okay. Can you think of anywhere Sheri would take Daphne?
Well, I don't know...
But I don't think Daphne's in any danger.
Sheri is a really good mom.
Well, according to Rick, Sheri's unstable.
Yeah, well, Rick is a bastard.
He supported Sheri when she checked herself into the hospital,
then he used it against her in court.
He made her seem, you know, completely unfit.
Here's the thing:
All we want is to bring Daphne home before she gets hurt.
Sheri would never have taken Daphne
if she had any other choice.
Daphne just got out of the hospital.
Is it that vomiting thing again?
It's the third time.
The doctor said she could've died.
Do they know what's wrong?
No, but I think I know.
It's Tia.
She's poisoning Daphne.
(laughs) With what?
She's a pharmacist.
She has access to all kinds of garbage I can't even pronounce.
Why would she do that?
Because she hates Daphne,
for getting between her and Rick.
Sheri, I think you're overreacting.
Okay, I thought so, too.
I figured it was something in her diet,
maybe she's got an allergy we didn't know about.
So I asked her about the food Tia makes her.
She says it always tastes funny,
like there's something in it.
Okay, if Daphne said that, if that's true,
you have to go to the police.
Even I know how crazy this sounds.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter if it sounds crazy,
you've got to speak up.
I know...
My baby could've died.
She was desperate, you know?
I-I mean, if Sheri did take Daphne and run,
it's not that I condone it,
but I just... I can't really blame her.
All right, are you sure you can't think
of anywhere they might go?
(sighs)
You know... well...
she has a cousin-- she has a cousin in Pittsburgh,
and she says he's like a brother to her.
Hello.
Hey.
So, uh, the hospital reviewed the blood work.
There's no indication
that Daphne was poisoned.
Could be that the mother was just looking for an excuse
to run off with her.
Well, Pittsburgh PD is checking into her cousin.
They think Sheri might be taking Daphne there.
I got to tell you, no matter how bad things got
with the ex-wife, she never ran off with the kids.
No, no, you're right.
She just gave you 48 hours notice
before she moved them to Chicago.
I don't really see a big difference.
That's a good point. Yeah.
So, how's Hannah?
Uh, you met with the admissions counselor, right?
Yes.
Uh... what happened?
Well, let's just say that my passion
was misinterpreted as...
extreme antagonism.
(clears throat) Oh.
Um, dare I ask how bad?
Well, there were no weapons drawn.
Oh, well, Rome wasn't built in a day, right?
So, what, I got to wait
200 years before I turn into a smooth-talking charmer?
Well, give or take.
(sighs)
What am I going to do?
I don't think they'd even take my call.
It's a girls' school, right?
Right.
Would you like me to talk to them for you?
Really?
Yeah, I mean, it's either that or wait 200 years.
(knocking)
Hey, you guys, excuse me.
A 911 call just came through.
A woman claiming
to be Sheri Brinkman was reporting her daughter missing.
How is that possible?
SHERI: You're supposed to be out looking for her,
and you're just accusing me.
I haven't done anything.
You took her off the street.
I picked her up from school.
And what? You brought her here?
Yes, but she ran away.
I swear to you I am not lying.
She's not on the 3:15 to Pittsburgh.
I know.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I bought us the tickets, but we didn't make it.
Okay, then what did you do
to your daughter?
Do you think that I'd hurt my own kid?
Did you?
I would never...
(laughing): Oh, my God.
I was trying to save her life.
SHERI: You should go to the bathroom now,
even if you feel like you don't have to.
I don't want to. Well, look,
the bus isn't going to stop for another two hours or so.
Mom, I don't want to live in Pittsburgh.
Oh, it's just for a little while.
A week, a month?
What, now I can't see Dad anymore?
I don't know what else to do, okay?
I can't let Tia hurt you.
What are you talking about?
Come on.
Oh, Mom, Mom, no.
Tia didn't poison me.
But you said the food tastes funny,
like there's something in it.
I just told you what you wanted to hear.
(sighs)
You lied to me?
You lied to me.
You told me that you missed me,
that you wanted to spend time with me.
All you care about is hating Dad and how he wronged you,
and all he cares about is being right and winning.
No, that's not true.
We care about you, that you're happy.
That's what's most important.
Then why can't you and Dad get back together?
Oh, Dee, you know that's not going to happen.
Why? Because all he cares about is himself!
He's a misogynist and a control freak!
Shut up! I don't want to hear any more.
You two deserve each other.
You both make me sick!
Oh...
Daphne, come back here.
She doesn't have her phone or her coat.
I am so worried.
How long ago did all of this happen?
A half hour? I don't know.
So you kidnapped and lost
your daughter on the same day?
I mean, you really expect us to believe that?
I would never do anything to hurt Daphne, never.
She's out there all alone.
W-We have to find her.
Please.
That's real cashmere right there.
It's only five dollars.
Huh? Excuse me, brother, have you seen this girl?
Come on, man,
I'm busy.
Come on, she would have been here about an hour ago.
I think this guy wants us to run his permit.
Yeah, I think so.
All right, let me take a look.
Oh, yeah.
She was here.
You want those?
I don't have any money.
Well, don't even be thinking about lifting my stuff.
I got my eye on you.
That's the real deal right there,
but because you're so pretty,
I'll give it to you for $25.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing?
Get your hand off. Whoa, I thought she got my stuff.
Well, I didn't.
Let's go.
How old did the guy look?
He looked older than me.
40s, I guess. I need more than that.
Was he tall, short, glasses, beard, no beard, what?
He was shorter
than you-- not much, though.
No, no beard.
Did he force her into the car?
Nah, she went willingly.
Look, it's cold out here,
and lost girls-- they got to go somewhere.
RICK: No, I've never seen this person.
Me either.
What does he want-- money?
As you know, we are monitoring all phone calls and e-mails
that are coming into your home,
in case he tries to contact you,
but what we have to focus on is the connection.
What are you talking about, what connection?
This guy grabbed Daphne off the street.
There's no connection.
Our witness said that she chose
to go.
It's very likely that she met this person
in a chat room and developed a relationship with him there.
TIA: That's disgusting.
This man is older than Rick. This is just-- wait, wait.
This is just-- this is some friend of my ex-wife.
It's just, it's just another part of her ploy.
Look,
I have a teenage daughter myself.
I understand that it is shocking
to discover that they actually have their own personal life.
How can I tell you
what she hid from me, you know?
I mean, if she had a-- or met a guy,
you know, she kept it to herself.
Well, I think the first course of action should be
to look through her computer,
see what chat rooms she was in,
who she was chatting to.
I'll also need a list of her closest friends.
Her best friend is Megan Dobbs.
If Daphne talked to anyone, it would be her.
That's great.
CAROLINE: We take career day
very seriously here.
Meeting women who have pursued traditionally male careers
empowers our girls.
It's what our school is all about.
Well, I'm happy to be a part of it.
I-I think this is a wonderful school,
which is why I'm hoping that you'll have a place
for Hannah Malone here in January.
Like I said to your friend, I'll try,
but we have admissions protocol
for very good reasons.
Would it help
at all if you talked to her therapist
or, or maybe the administrator at her current school?
I'm certainly willing to start there.
Can't ask for more than that.
(both chuckle)
Look, um, between you and me,
I-I know that Agent Malone did not put his best foot forward
when he was here.
To be honest, he acted like an ass.
(laughs)
He can be difficult.
Um, I like to think it's part of his charm.
You obviously see something in the man.
Yeah.
ELENA: So, you and Daphne
study together Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, right?
Mm-hmm.
What about this Thursday?
Yep.
You know, it's, it's interesting
because I talked to your mom
and she said to me that Daphne hasn't been at your house
for, like, two weeks.
If my mom finds out I lied to her,
I'll be grounded until forever.
What did you lie about?
It was about a week ago.
My mom was supposed to pick us up.
Daphne asked me for a favor.
MEG: Where have you been?
My mom is having a spaz attack. Wait, w-wait,
Meg, I can't go, okay? WOMAN: Come on, girls, let's go.
We're coming!
I need you to cover for me, okay?
If my dad calls, tell him I'm in the bathroom
and then call me on my cell.
I-I can call him from there.
What am I supposed to tell my mom? Tell her
I'm in yearbook, tell her whatever.
Who cares, okay? I care.
If I get caught lying,
my parents will kill me.
What, they'll make you stay at home and watch movies all weekend?
Maybe you guys can have a hugging contest.
It's not like that and you know it. Come on,
all I'm saying is that if you get caught, it's no big deal.
Okay?
Tell me where you're going.
I met a guy.
Oh, my God, seriously?
Who? Chris from homeroom?
No, no, it's someone else, but my parents can't find out.
Okay?
Please. Okay.
I'll do it, but only because it's a guy,
and you owe me all the details.
Text me.
I will, okay, thank you, I love you.
Did Daphne ever say anything about seeing an older man?
No, never.
Okay, I need to know if she ever mentioned a name.
No.
She wouldn't say, no matter how many times I asked.
I think she made him up.
Did she mention that she was gonna take a trip?
No way.
If she was actually going, she'd say so.
We're best friends.
We tell each other everything.
You just got a fax from the Havenhurst Girls' School.
Is Daphne applying there?
No, it's for Hannah.
We're trying to get her in.
Hmm.
I just said "we," didn't I?
Mm-hmm.
N-- I'm just helping Jack--
it's not an official we we.
Do you want it to be?
You know, I'm just taking it one day at a time.
I-I've been trying to figure out
who this older guy might be, and there's no indication
of a relationship.
I mean, there's no e-mails, no texts, nothing.
That's strange.
A 13-year-old girl with a crush leaves a paper trail.
Hmm.
What about her diary?
Not really a diary,
more like a sketch journal.
Check these out.
Hmm.
So, she draws unicorns
but gets into a car with 40 year-old man.
She doesn't know which way to go.
Maybe she's just going wherever she feels wanted.
(phone rings) Hmm.
Hey.
Okay.
Thanks.
That's Lucy; she's got something.
Daphne's parents just got an email from Daphne's account.
Do you have an IP address of the computer that sent it?
The email came through an anonymous proxy server
so I couldn't locate an IP address.
But there's an attachment.
Mom,
Dad,
this is not what you want to hear.
But I'm not your daughter anymore.
I'm done.
It's not like we were even a family anymore.
Please don't come looking for me.
This is the last time you'll hear from me.
So, good-bye.
Okay.
That's it.
MARTIN: Play it again, no sound.
Her body language says she's scared.
But I can't tell if she's frightened of the person shooting the video
or if it's just because she's saying good-bye to her parents.
What did we find out about the apartment?
Not much.
Uh, the brick wall and strip window
indicate pre-war construction.
But they were careful, there's no surface
that reflects the cameraman.
What'd you find out about the attachment on the email?
It was an MPEG file, taken on a flip phone.
The focal length of the camera is standard
on all models.
And along with Daphne's height
I can extrapolate the height
of the person holding the phone.
Wow, that's cool.
Uh, whoever shot this
is at least six feet tall.
Matches the description of the guy who drove off with her.
Play it again, turn up the sound.
Mom, Dad... (garbled transmission)
Yeah, right there at the beginning, you hear it?
It's kind of like a squawky sound.
Maybe it's someone talking on a loudspeaker?
Well, do me a favor, try and dig that out
and, uh, have it analyzed.
We find out where that apartment is, we're going to find her.
Please don't come looking for me.
This is the last time you'll hear from me.
So, good-bye.
Do you recognize the apartment?
I've never seen it before in my life.
There's no way way Daphne knows this person.
Some pervert made her say these things.
Well,
we don't know that for sure.
Oh, God, what a nightmare.
You know, if it wasn't for you,
Daphne would be safe and sound
in her bed right now. You know,
she could've called you, Rick, and she didn't.
You want know why? Yeah,
well, why don't you educate me, Sheri.
Because she hated living with you.
Tia constantly
criticizing everything about her...
I took care of her better than you ever did.
Was I talking to you?
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
This video was made 92 minutes ago.
Now, I don't know if any of you have seen
what can happen to a 13 year-old girl
alone on the streets, but I have.
So instead of yelling at each other,
let's try thinking
of something useful, okay?
You're all idiots.
What did you say?
You heard me.
Of course she ran off
with some old guy.
I'm just surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Daddy? Yeah?
What do you think about going
to Florida for winter break?
Just you and me and Mom.
Did your mom make you ask that?
No. No, not at all. I just--
you guys were getting along so well this morning that...
Well, we're both very concerned about you.
But we're both very different people.
And we tried to make it work, but ultimately
us not being together
is what's best for you right now.
I know.
Okay.
It's all right.
Don't fret.
Just get better.
I'll go get you some saltines, okay?
Go away. I know what you're doing.
I said go away.
You stole two doses from my bag to make yourself sick.
No, I didn't.
Why do you even care?
You can get really hurt if you take too much.
Don't do that.
It almost worked.
No. It didn't almost.
I've been through this before.
Your parents will always hate each other.
And honestly, even just looking at you
reminds them how much they hate each other.
It's not ever going to change.
You just gotta get with it or get out,
know what I mean?
Please go away.
After that she gave up on trying to make you two get along.
What drug did she take from you?
Ipecac.
What were you doing with ipecac?
It makes you throw up like crazy.
I use it to make weight for wrestling.
What are you talking about? Where did you get ipecac?
From your pharmacy; where do you think I got it?
Since when?
Don't look at me, Rick.
It's your fault Daphne took off.
You, too.
All of you.
Now, the days that
Daphne was supposed to be at Meg's house,
she was using her father's credit card
at the public library.
What was she buying at a library?
She was using the card to make copies.
Now, when I showed the librarian a sketch
of our guy at the bus station--
she recognized him right away.
She got a name for him?
Well, she thinks his name is Gabriel, he's in his 40s.
She described him as a loner.
She said he comes in,
he hangs out in the periodicals section
and reads old newspapers.
That's where him and Daphne
were spending a lot of time together.
Okay, well, let's pull a list
of all the things that Daphne checked out.
I want to know what a 13 year-old girl
is doing with 40- year-old man. You got it.
Hey, Viv,
Lucy ID'd the noise from the video--
it's an announcement for the Roosevelt Island Tram.
Thanks. Well, the apartment's
got to be pretty close to Tram Plaza.
Mm-hmm. I'm going to go and check
if there's any pre-war buildings on that block.
And see if they have any tenants named Gabriel.
Okay.
*
(knocking on door)
MARTIN: Gabriel Macklin.
FBI. Open up.
(knocking on door)
Gabriel? Yes.
Go ahead and step away from the door.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Where's Daphne Brinkman?
She's not here. You can look for yourself.
We will.
Daphne?
Go ahead and check the back.
Why don't you take a seat over here.
Take a seat.
Daphne's not here.
Well, I know she was here.
Because you shot tape of her
in front of that brick wall, right?
Yes.
What'd you do with her?
Nothing.
Daphne's a very good friend of mine.
We have a connection.
Does that connection include sex with a minor?
Oh.
(clears throat)
Um, no, um,
we just enjoy conversing, that's all.
She requested my help
with periodicals at the library and...
it was completely innocent.
Uh, you want to explain this to me?
Oh, that's hair dye.
Hair dye.
That's not blood. Well,
did I say anything about blood? No.
You didn't dye your hair red.
Daphne did that to herself.
Yeah.
I haven't broken any laws here.
Well, you know, Gabriel, that's not really true.
Because when you abduct a kid from a bus station
that is breaking the law.
I didn't abduct her.
She called me.
I assumed she just needed some time to clear her head,
and then I was going to take her back to her father.
Well, if that's the case why didn't she make it home?
Because she came up with this crazy plan.
I don't know if I did it right.
Does it look okay?
Um, you need to put a shirt on, please.
Oh, yeah, I know, sorry.
To be completely frank,
I'm not feeling good about any of this.
I'm just doing what I said we were going to do.
But I didn't actually think that you would act on it.
It's too impulsive.
You're acting like a child.
Really?
What's your grown-up plan, Gabriel?
You're just going to live in your mother's apartment forever,
keep wishing the world's going to be different?
Well, you know what?
You have to get with it or get out!
Okay?
I didn't mean that.
I'm sorry.
It's not appropriate for you to be here.
From now on, we'll meet at the library, but that's it.
I'm not going back to the library.
I need you
to drive me to my friend's house.
Well, I can't do that.
You know what? Fine. Whatever.
Okay. I'll just hitchhike.
It's only an hour and a half away.
You are not hitchhiking.
That's too dangerous.
If you don't drive me, I have no other choice.
So I drove her out there, and I dropped her off.
Drove her out where?
Daphne doesn't want to be found.
That's not your call.
She had no one else to turn to
but you.
Now, if anything happened to her
it's going to be on your shoulders, do you understand?
I'm not saying anything else
until I have a lawyer.
(sighs)
DANNY: Gabriel Macklin still not talking?
Nope, I'm waiting for his lawyer.
Is this the, uh, library history?
Yeah, apparently, Gabriel
was helping Daphne research teenage runaways.
Now, I checked with all of the city shelters.
Nobody's seen her.
We're looking outside the city?
Yeah, we're starting with Poughkeepsie.
You know, Elena noticed that about a week ago,
Daphne started scanning articles
about a missing girl.
Okay, do we have a file on her?
ELENA: Yeah, her name is Abbie Alden.
Vanished on her way home from school.
You know, the Bureau had the case-- we just never found her.
Is there any connection
between Daphne and the missing girl?
Not so far. DANNY: You know, Jack,
I'm starting to think this isn't as much about Abbie
as it is about Abbie's parents.
Elena, play him the video.
Daphne downloaded this video ten times.
WOMAN: Five years ago, our daughter, Abbie,
was walking back from school, but she never made it home.
DAD: If you know anything at all about what happened
or where she might be now,
please pick up the phone
and call the number on your screen.
MOM: Abbie, baby, if you can hear us,
please know that we think of you every single day.
We will never stop looking.
Do we have an age-enhanced photo of the missing girl?
Yeah, I have it right here.
MARTIN: Mrs. Alden? Yes?
Hi.
I'm Agent Fitzgerald, this is Agent Spade.
We're with the FBI.
How can I help you?
We're actually looking for this girl.
Have you seen her?
Daphne Brinkman.
She's about 13.
She's been missing for 18 hours.
She looked just like her.
I still make these because...
they were a favorite around here.
They're my favorite, too.
Do you have any milk?
Of course, absolutely.
Thank you.
And you said you were an artist?
Yeah, I try.
I keep a sketch pad with me
and draw when I can.
That's great.
That's the key, you know?
Practice.
Thank you.
I like your hair.
It's pretty.
Thanks.
Hi.
Who's this?
Hi, I just dropped by.
Jen, what's going on here?
Nothing.
Can I use the bathroom?
Yeah, it's just right back there. Yes, back there.
Thanks.
Who's that girl?
She wanted to meet us.
Why, what does she want?
What's her name?
She didn't say.
Did you even ask?
Sweetheart, that girl isn't Abbie.
I know that.
Don't you think I know that?
Okay, well, then, we need to call the police
and find out who she is and where she's from.
She needs some rest before we send her back.
Don't look at me that way.
If Abbie were lost and alone
and walked up to someone's house,
I would pray those people would help her.
Jenny... I'm...
I am just asking for a few hours with her.
That's all.
No... no.
We can help her by figuring out who she really belongs to.
She is someone else's daughter.
He went to talk to her, but she was gone.
Hank called the police, but we didn't know her name.
How long ago was this?
A half hour, less. And what was she wearing?
A purple sweater... jeans.
You did the right thing contacting the police.
Yeah.
Okay. Thanks.
MARTIN: We good?
Local PD is covering the road back to town,
but a neighbor saw her cutting
across the Aldens' yard.
What's back there?
Few miles of woods, an old farm road.
ETA on the chopper is 40 minutes.
All right, look, I'll stick around
and set up the landing zone.
Daphne.
Hi, I'm Samantha Spade.
I'm with the FBI.
Hi.
Did the Aldens tell you I was there?
Well, you didn't say good-bye.
They, uh... they're worried about you.
I didn't know how to tell her I was leaving.
Is Mrs. Alden gonna be okay...
if they never find Abbie?
I don't know.
I didn't mean to upset her.
I just...
thought I could find somewhere to belong.
Daphne: I went in Abbie's room.
And...it was exactly the same.
It's like they were just waiting for her
all the time.
*
DAPHNE: But they're waiting for Abbie...
not some girl with fake red hair.
I can't pretend to be someone I'm not.
Can't force it, you know?
You can't make people want you.
Your parents want you to come home.
They don't act like it.
You know, I think you made them take a good look at themselves,
and they didn't like what they saw.
Does that happen?
Do people change?
Yeah.
I think they do.
It's freezing.
I brought you a jacket.
(shuddering)
JACK: You know, you and I have a lot in common.
We like things the way we like them,
and we're not really gonna change.
But...
let me give you some advice,
and you can take it or not.
Don't make the same mistakes I did.
(grunting, moaning)
We should seriously have this conversation,
and then we should get down
to this whole going to sleep thing.
Okay?
The thing that I really want to tell you is that, um...
I always wanted to do things my own way,
because I always felt like it made me...
look stronger or...
It doesn't really matter.
You know, if you keep executing the same plan
over and over and over and it results in failure...
then it's stupid.
So, what I did was,
I let your mother take control of the wheel.
And it's really working great.
Because she feels more involved, you know, and... and...
she's very...
She's a very special woman, your mother.
(cooing)
(knock at door)
Hi. Hi.
I'm looking for Samantha.
Uh... yeah, she's, uh, not here.
Brian Donovan.
Oh, hi, hi.
No, she's, uh... she's not here, but uh, I'll...
I'll tell her that you stopped by, uh, Brian.
You the baby-sitter?
Yeah... yeah.
Hi, there.
I'm your daddy.
