[person breathing heavily]

00:00:29,768 --> 00:00:31,197
[panting]
3
00:00:31,299 --> 00:00:32,100
[abductor] Emily.
4
00:00:32,202 --> 00:00:33,833
[yelps] Oh, shit! [gasps]
5
00:00:41,709 --> 00:00:45,851
Is there any circumstance
more terrifying
6
00:00:45,953 --> 00:00:47,088
than when a child goes missing?
7
00:00:48,651 --> 00:00:51,354
By now, we all know
the haunting stories
8
00:00:51,457 --> 00:00:54,158
of Natalee Holloway...
...the 18-year-old
9
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:56,596
who vanished
during a trip to Aruba,
10
00:00:56,698 --> 00:00:58,795
and Gabby Petito,
11
00:00:58,897 --> 00:01:04,136
the young blogger whose remains
were eventually
discovered in a park.
12
00:01:04,238 --> 00:01:06,835
The nation watched
around-the-clock coverage...
13
00:01:06,938 --> 00:01:08,172
[Aames] OPD!
14
00:01:08,274 --> 00:01:10,339
...as every parent
feared the worst.
15
00:01:10,441 --> 00:01:13,613
The same story
is unfolding again.
16
00:01:13,715 --> 00:01:14,643
[Aames] Emily Mills!
17
00:01:16,182 --> 00:01:18,350
Recently,
a 16-year-old local teen
18
00:01:19,547 --> 00:01:22,123
named Emily Mills disappeared.
19
00:01:22,855 --> 00:01:23,784
[Aames] Sun.
20
00:01:26,495 --> 00:01:27,592
Hey. Hey.
21
00:01:27,694 --> 00:01:28,426
[groans]
22
00:01:30,663 --> 00:01:31,594
Okay.
23
00:01:33,231 --> 00:01:34,267
-[Aames sighs]
-[groans]
24
00:01:35,363 --> 00:01:36,734
[addict groans]
25
00:01:36,836 --> 00:01:38,636
It's not her.
26
00:01:38,738 --> 00:01:43,303
But what if I told you
another local teen
went missing a year ago?
27
00:01:43,405 --> 00:01:46,376
Her name is Drea Spivey.
28
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:49,779
Drea's mother, Charise,
is a friend of mine.
29
00:01:49,881 --> 00:01:54,754
You haven't heard of Drea
because her story
has never been covered
30
00:01:54,856 --> 00:01:57,485
by a single news outlet.
31
00:01:57,587 --> 00:02:00,325
Charise was finally able
to find Drea
32
00:02:00,427 --> 00:02:03,627
by enlisting the help of friends
in the community.
33
00:02:03,729 --> 00:02:07,498
I interviewed this young girl
to better understand her story.
34
00:02:09,236 --> 00:02:12,636
But there's been
an upsetting development.
35
00:02:12,738 --> 00:02:17,739
Sixteen-year-old Drea
went missing again
almost 72 hours ago.
36
00:02:19,414 --> 00:02:23,947
With every hour that passes,
the hope to find Drea dims.
37
00:02:24,049 --> 00:02:26,782
This means...
38
00:02:26,884 --> 00:02:30,719
Charise is forced
to live that nightmare
all over again.
39
00:02:37,631 --> 00:02:39,959
[Noa] Just uploaded the podcast
to our new bosses at Boisterous.
40
00:02:41,163 --> 00:02:41,961
[sighs]
41
00:02:44,237 --> 00:02:46,834
I never wanted
to see Drea up here.
42
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,043
Another in a sea of sweet,
stolen faces.
43
00:02:54,145 --> 00:02:55,612
Drea makes 11 total.
44
00:02:55,714 --> 00:02:59,151
All reported missing
over the last four years
in Oakland.
45
00:02:59,253 --> 00:03:01,420
But only one had come home
to safety.
46
00:03:03,626 --> 00:03:04,654
Why run again?
47
00:03:05,927 --> 00:03:09,228
Okay. What's our next step?
48
00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:12,230
We conducted over 10 hours
of interviews
49
00:03:12,332 --> 00:03:14,499
with Drea before
she went missing again.
50
00:03:16,903 --> 00:03:20,472
There must be something
in those recordings
that could guide us.
51
00:03:29,812 --> 00:03:32,715
[Poppy] Drea,
when the Capstones found you,
52
00:03:32,817 --> 00:03:35,718
you were in a drug den
and addicted to fentanyl.
53
00:03:37,288 --> 00:03:39,356
How did you end up there?
54
00:03:39,458 --> 00:03:41,326
[Drea] This boy I met
gave it to me.
55
00:03:41,428 --> 00:03:44,262
And the first time
I snorted fentanyl,
56
00:03:44,364 --> 00:03:46,659
I went somewhere else
in my head.
57
00:03:46,761 --> 00:03:49,400
A door opened,
I stepped through it,
58
00:03:49,502 --> 00:03:51,668
and everything
on the other side was different.
59
00:03:53,607 --> 00:03:57,003
I just sort of floated along,
and there was no more hurt.
60
00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:01,480
I kept doing it 'cause I wanted
to go wherever I wanted.
61
00:04:03,016 --> 00:04:04,818
Where would you go?
62
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,288
[chuckles] Japanese Gardens.
63
00:04:08,452 --> 00:04:10,951
It's so green. I love it there.
64
00:04:12,354 --> 00:04:14,294
[Poppy] Why?
65
00:04:14,396 --> 00:04:17,596
[Drea] I, had my 11th
birthday party there.
66
00:04:17,698 --> 00:04:22,234
That was probably the last time
I remember being legit happy.
67
00:04:22,336 --> 00:04:26,204
That was before my mom
had problems
68
00:04:26,306 --> 00:04:28,835
and I had to go
into foster care.
69
00:04:28,937 --> 00:04:31,243
[inhales sharply]
After a few years of, uh,
70
00:04:31,345 --> 00:04:34,080
foster homes,
I just started doing drugs.
71
00:04:34,182 --> 00:04:37,282
You've been sober now
for six weeks.
72
00:04:37,384 --> 00:04:39,919
-[inhales deeply]
-Do you get tempted?
73
00:04:40,021 --> 00:04:41,983
[exhales deeply] Oh, my God.
74
00:04:42,085 --> 00:04:45,291
Just the other day,
I ran into a friend
from my trapping days.
75
00:04:45,393 --> 00:04:47,086
She told me she had
the High Hunter hookup.
76
00:04:48,493 --> 00:04:52,091
It would've been so easy
to meet her.
77
00:04:53,929 --> 00:04:56,696
-But I didn't.
-What is that? "High Hunter?"
78
00:04:56,798 --> 00:04:59,340
Oh, it's a--
It's just a new drug.
79
00:05:01,209 --> 00:05:03,938
But I-I thought
about my life now,
80
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,642
like all the little things
being one big reason to say no.
81
00:05:07,744 --> 00:05:10,614
So, I turned her down.
[inhales deeply]
82
00:05:10,716 --> 00:05:13,354
[scoffs] I know
that probably
sounds hella corny.
83
00:05:14,623 --> 00:05:15,356
Hmm.
84
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,789
I think that sounds very brave.
85
00:05:22,198 --> 00:05:23,194
[reporter]
Good morning, Oakland.
86
00:05:23,296 --> 00:05:24,761
Three full days have passed
87
00:05:24,863 --> 00:05:27,927
since Bay Area teen
Emily Mills was last seen.
88
00:05:28,029 --> 00:05:30,601
Local police departments
assured Channel 13
89
00:05:30,703 --> 00:05:33,636
that bringing Emily home
is their top priority.
90
00:05:33,739 --> 00:05:35,376
[announcer] The PTA meeting
will begin shortly.
91
00:05:37,346 --> 00:05:38,572
Do you need me
to get you something, baby?
92
00:05:38,675 --> 00:05:40,277
-No, no, no. I'm good.
-You sure?
93
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:42,379
Yeah.
But you might need to step
94
00:05:42,481 --> 00:05:43,711
in here if she doesn't
get here soon.
95
00:05:43,813 --> 00:05:46,285
-[chuckles]
-There might be a riot.
96
00:05:46,387 --> 00:05:47,852
How long is she gonna
keep us waiting?
97
00:05:47,954 --> 00:05:50,853
She will be here any second.
Everyone, just settle down,
please.
98
00:05:53,862 --> 00:05:55,088
I'm sorry.
99
00:05:55,190 --> 00:05:57,764
I'm sorry. I was on the phone
with the superintendent,
100
00:05:57,866 --> 00:06:01,127
discussing protocol for
tomorrow night's
Get Out The Vote event.
101
00:06:01,229 --> 00:06:04,668
Now, with all the cameras
and people on campus tomorrow,
102
00:06:04,770 --> 00:06:07,804
I wanted to have a conversation
about school safety.
103
00:06:09,742 --> 00:06:12,072
Two girls have gone missing
in the last few days,
104
00:06:13,576 --> 00:06:16,877
Emily Mills and Drea Spivey.
105
00:06:16,979 --> 00:06:19,917
Some of you may know
that Drea is a student--
106
00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:25,019
Um, I hate to be indelicate,
but is this really
a school safety issue?
107
00:06:26,723 --> 00:06:28,088
What are you saying,
Mrs. Williams?
108
00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:30,326
[sighs]
109
00:06:30,428 --> 00:06:31,995
Drea was a drug addict.
110
00:06:32,097 --> 00:06:32,994
[scoffs]
111
00:06:36,238 --> 00:06:37,799
What's Ashley's
cell phone number?
112
00:06:37,901 --> 00:06:39,805
What does my daughter
have to do with this?
113
00:06:39,907 --> 00:06:43,971
You know what? It's okay.
[clicks tongue]
I'll just message her.
114
00:06:44,073 --> 00:06:46,942
All I'm asking is what
this has to do with our kids.
115
00:06:47,044 --> 00:06:51,113
Our kids know not to do drugs
or whatever Drea was into.
116
00:06:51,215 --> 00:06:52,112
Mm-hmm.
117
00:06:52,921 --> 00:06:54,446
[phone beeps]
118
00:06:54,549 --> 00:07:00,392
Done. I just messaged Ashley,
who should be in choir
right about now.
119
00:07:00,494 --> 00:07:02,188
I pretended to be a boy
from Bellarmine.
120
00:07:03,098 --> 00:07:04,962
I told her she was cute
121
00:07:05,064 --> 00:07:08,363
and to meet me in the gym
if she wanted to come
to a hooky party.
122
00:07:08,465 --> 00:07:09,997
Y-You can't do that.
123
00:07:10,099 --> 00:07:12,869
That's-- [stammers]
That's catfishing or something.
124
00:07:15,311 --> 00:07:17,309
We're using the gym right now,
Ashley.
125
00:07:17,411 --> 00:07:19,939
You can go back to choir.
Thanks.
126
00:07:20,041 --> 00:07:21,680
-[parents gasping]
-[inhales sharply]
127

In less than 45 seconds,
128
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:28,951
I got your daughter,
who knows better than Drea,
129
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,251
to meet a stranger in the gym.
130
00:07:35,027 --> 00:07:38,730
What happened to Drea
could happen to any one
of your kids.
131
00:07:41,202 --> 00:07:42,162
Do you understand that?
132
00:07:43,335 --> 00:07:44,833
[breathes deeply]
133
00:07:44,936 --> 00:07:48,036
Lastly, I need volunteers
for tomorrow's event.
134
00:07:53,915 --> 00:07:55,280
Thank you.
135
00:07:55,382 --> 00:07:57,276
["Back To The Streets" playing]
136
00:07:58,450 --> 00:08:00,552
My parents are just inside.
137
00:08:00,655 --> 00:08:02,918
Don't worry.
That meeting
will go on for hours.
138
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:05,757
Mmm, yeah.
But if my dad catches us,
he'll kill me.
139
00:08:07,129 --> 00:08:07,990
Or he'll just kill you--
140
00:08:09,198 --> 00:08:10,861
He'd make me watch. [chuckles]
141
00:08:13,697 --> 00:08:15,129
So, you really want me to stop?
142
00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:18,600
No, I wouldn't say that.
143
00:08:18,702 --> 00:08:19,969
-[softly] Yeah.
-I just--
144
00:08:21,509 --> 00:08:23,170
[chuckles]
I just wish we had some privacy.
145
00:08:26,111 --> 00:08:28,747
When can we go back
to my cousins' house?
It's been a minute.
146
00:08:31,116 --> 00:08:32,113
Soon.
147
00:08:34,089 --> 00:08:35,321

[gasps] Mrs. Killebrew.
[stammers]
149
00:08:37,319 --> 00:08:40,492
I was just
keeping Trini company
during your meeting.
150
00:08:40,594 --> 00:08:42,560
Well, I'm here now.
So, she doesn't need
151
00:08:42,662 --> 00:08:44,259
to be kept company
any longer, does she?
152
00:08:44,362 --> 00:08:45,192
Yes, ma'am.
153
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:47,865
-I'll text you.
-Yeah.
154
00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:53,470
You think I scared him?

00:08:53,572 --> 00:08:54,906
-What?
-[inhales sharply]
156
00:08:55,008 --> 00:08:57,877
Your father always gets
to be the tough one.
It's not fair.

00:08:57,979 --> 00:09:00,606
-[breathes deeply]
-[chuckles] Wait,
am I in trouble? Or...
158
00:09:00,708 --> 00:09:04,648
Sweetheart,
if I told you all the places
that your grandmother caught me
159
00:09:04,750 --> 00:09:06,518
and my high school boyfriend
hooking up,
160
00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:07,887
you wouldn't look
at me the same again.
161
00:09:07,989 --> 00:09:09,321
Ew. Mom.
162
00:09:09,423 --> 00:09:11,556
Trini, you're never in trouble
163
00:09:11,658 --> 00:09:14,595
as long as you
are honest with me, okay?
164
00:09:16,563 --> 00:09:18,597
All I care about
is keeping you safe,
165
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:21,060
especially with all
of this going on with Drea.
166
00:09:21,162 --> 00:09:23,601
And that is why you
cannot be getting...
167
00:09:23,703 --> 00:09:25,371
-Mom, I know.
-...into a stranger's car...
168
00:09:25,473 --> 00:09:27,268
I told you it
was Aubrey's cousin.
169
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:29,137
and not answering your phone.
You had us worried sick, honey.
170
00:09:30,672 --> 00:09:32,776
Yeah, I know.
171
00:09:32,878 --> 00:09:36,012
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I-I learned my lesson. Really.
172
00:09:37,748 --> 00:09:38,916
Well, then you have my trust.
173
00:09:43,359 --> 00:09:44,688
There's no way
you're getting in.
174
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:47,326
This is ludicrous.
I know Detective Aames.
175
00:09:47,428 --> 00:09:48,626
Like you know Markus Killebrew?
176
00:09:48,728 --> 00:09:51,497
Yeah, how's he enjoying
sleeping on piles
177
00:09:51,599 --> 00:09:52,963
of our department's
hard-earned cash?
178
00:09:55,702 --> 00:09:57,467
Ugh, finally.
Aames, could you please
179
00:09:57,569 --> 00:09:59,168
tell them to let me through?
180
00:09:59,270 --> 00:10:01,202
I thought I told you
you're not welcome here,
Miss Parnell.
181
00:10:03,111 --> 00:10:04,475
It's Scoville.
182
00:10:04,577 --> 00:10:06,077
Take care of this, new guy.
183
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:07,076
Time to go.
184
00:10:18,058 --> 00:10:21,160
-Did we sell it?
-[chuckles]
I think a little too well.
185
00:10:21,262 --> 00:10:23,158
Listen, I am sorry.
186
00:10:23,260 --> 00:10:25,963
I don't have any more news
on Drea Spivey. I am trying.
187
00:10:26,065 --> 00:10:28,629
No, they got you
working Emily Mills
24 hours a day.
188
00:10:28,731 --> 00:10:30,197
You are not wrong.
189
00:10:30,299 --> 00:10:33,771
Well, if you can find
an extra hour
in your day,
190
00:10:33,873 --> 00:10:35,805
something came up
in one of Drea's interviews.
191
00:10:35,907 --> 00:10:38,541
She made a reference to,
uh, "High Hunter."
192
00:10:38,643 --> 00:10:40,744
Said it was a new drug.
193
00:10:40,846 --> 00:10:43,044
High Hunter?
It's not one I've heard of.
194
00:10:43,147 --> 00:10:45,212
Well, if it isn't a drug,
what else could it be?
195
00:10:45,314 --> 00:10:47,352
Oh, it could be a dealer.
It could be a trap house.
196
00:10:47,454 --> 00:10:48,447
I'll look into it for you.
197
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:53,158
Wait, is that--
198
00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:54,052
Andrew Finney.
199
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:55,220
-[officer] Andrew.
-Danny.
200
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:58,193
Front-runner
to be Oakland's next mayor.
201
00:10:58,295 --> 00:11:01,167
You wanna know why we're
so pressed to find Emily Mills?
202
00:11:01,269 --> 00:11:02,230
There's your answer.
203
00:11:04,472 --> 00:11:06,639
But he's not even in office yet.
204
00:11:06,742 --> 00:11:08,700
Oh, you beat
that law-and-order
drum hard enough
205
00:11:08,802 --> 00:11:12,339
in the age of "defund police,"
you get a hero's
welcome 'round here.
206
00:11:13,843 --> 00:11:15,177
Law and order for whom?
207
00:11:22,256 --> 00:11:23,020
[stammers] Mmm.
208
00:11:24,324 --> 00:11:25,055
Thank you.
209
00:11:27,859 --> 00:11:29,525
Oh, this guy's blowing
up my phone.
210
00:11:29,627 --> 00:11:31,057
Oh. You like him?
211
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:32,491
[scoffs] We had one date.
We'll see.
212
00:11:34,769 --> 00:11:36,896
[smacks lips]
You should get back out there.
213
00:11:36,998 --> 00:11:38,198
-Oof, that part.
-Mm-hmm.
214
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:42,270
Tinder, BlackPeopleMeet,
Bumble, Hinge, JDate.
215
00:11:42,372 --> 00:11:44,505
[laughing] JDate.
[chuckling]
Get you a nice Jewish boy.
216
00:11:44,607 --> 00:11:46,344
All of it.
217
00:11:46,446 --> 00:11:48,075
I'm not using an app.
218
00:11:48,177 --> 00:11:52,350
Plus, I-I think I'm fine alone.
For now.
219
00:11:52,452 --> 00:11:55,118
-Oh.
-Uh, that's new.
220
00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:57,722
I mean, the old Poppy just had
to have herself some Ingram.
221
00:11:57,824 --> 00:12:00,157
Right? This new you
is doing baller shit.
222
00:12:00,259 --> 00:12:03,126
Mrs. Rhoades would've never
come up with a stunt like this.
223
00:12:03,228 --> 00:12:05,196
What are you talking about?
I've always been this person.
224
00:12:05,299 --> 00:12:06,698
-Huh?
-Uh.
225
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,968
-[both laugh]
-I have. [chuckles]
226
00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:13,138
Remember when Uncle Bug
brought me over to Aunt Leona's
227
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,437
and I had us crash that
little bougie tea party
she used to hold
228
00:12:16,539 --> 00:12:18,577
-in the backyard?
-[Desiree laughs]
I forgot all about that.
229
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,680
Um, it was sponsored
by the Links,
230
00:12:20,783 --> 00:12:22,747
and we weren't allowed
to come and get any cake.
231
00:12:22,849 --> 00:12:24,176
We sure did make a ruckus
when we came
232
00:12:24,278 --> 00:12:26,278
in there banging them pots
and pans.
233
00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:29,654
We made an impact.
Aunt Leona was pissed.
234
00:12:29,756 --> 00:12:31,250
Why is she insisting
that we go back
235
00:12:31,352 --> 00:12:33,154
to that house
to pick up Mom's stuff?
236
00:12:33,257 --> 00:12:35,327
I just hate the idea
of going back to that place.
237
00:12:35,429 --> 00:12:36,729
Too many bad memories.
238
00:12:36,832 --> 00:12:39,493
Yeah, it has a lot
of bad memories
for me too.
239
00:12:39,595 --> 00:12:45,136
Not because I lived there,
but 'cause Aunt Leona
shut me out.
240
00:12:45,238 --> 00:12:47,368
Let's just get it
over with then,
so we all can move on.
241
00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:50,335
That heifer's moving
to Vineyard,
242
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:52,311
-so it's good riddance.
-Oh. Well...
243
00:12:52,413 --> 00:12:54,879
All the way around.
244
00:12:54,981 --> 00:12:57,116
-Uh, cheers on that. Goodbye.
-[Cydie] Yes.
245
00:12:57,218 --> 00:12:58,513
[chuckles]
246
00:12:58,616 --> 00:12:59,847
[door opens]
247
00:12:59,949 --> 00:13:01,580
Mmm. [inhales sharply]
248
00:13:03,256 --> 00:13:04,387
Hey.
249
00:13:04,490 --> 00:13:05,551
[Poppy] Hey.
250
00:13:07,956 --> 00:13:08,895
What do you think?
251
00:13:12,498 --> 00:13:13,163
It's perfect.
252
00:13:20,768 --> 00:13:23,508
I can't stay long.
I'm meeting with some
of the other MCs,
253
00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:25,237
let 'em know about Drea.
254
00:13:25,339 --> 00:13:28,412
Have you ever heard
of High Hunter?
255
00:13:28,514 --> 00:13:29,844
No, what's that?
256
00:13:29,946 --> 00:13:32,416
It's a drug Drea mentioned.
257
00:13:32,518 --> 00:13:35,614
I'm just trying to figure out
what it is and where
she used to get it.
258
00:13:37,658 --> 00:13:39,590
I'll keep my ears to the ground.
259
00:13:39,692 --> 00:13:41,626
Aames didn't know anything.
260
00:13:41,728 --> 00:13:44,059
He knows OPD ain't doing enough.
261
00:13:44,161 --> 00:13:45,892
This is something
we can handle ourselves.
262
00:13:45,994 --> 00:13:47,098
-Daddy--
-I mean it!
263
00:13:58,708 --> 00:13:59,638
Daddy...
264
00:14:01,983 --> 00:14:04,149
are you sure it's okay for me
to stay in this house?
265
00:14:04,251 --> 00:14:05,984
I--
266
00:14:06,086 --> 00:14:09,120
I said my name is Poppy Scoville
on my podcast. I--
267
00:14:11,157 --> 00:14:13,124
-You don't need my approval
to stay.
-I know.
268
00:14:15,794 --> 00:14:17,194
[inhales deeply] I'm just...
269
00:14:20,134 --> 00:14:23,101
trying to figure out
what my declaration
really means.
270
00:14:26,241 --> 00:14:28,606
Is that why you
wanna do the podcast
on Drea and the missing girls?
271
00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:29,668
So you can prove yourself.
272
00:14:31,476 --> 00:14:32,374
Maybe.
273
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,542
Maybe to redeem myself too.
274
00:14:37,214 --> 00:14:39,478
[inhales deeply]
I think of those girls,
275
00:14:39,581 --> 00:14:42,652
I think how easily
I could have been one of 'em.
276
00:14:42,754 --> 00:14:43,682
Yeah, but you're here.
277
00:14:44,690 --> 00:14:47,994
You're Poppy Scoville.
278
00:14:48,096 --> 00:14:50,289
And being a Scoville
has nothing to do
with geography.
279
00:14:50,391 --> 00:14:51,932
It's about
how you carry yourself.
280
00:14:56,702 --> 00:14:57,564
Keep your head up.
281
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:00,171
We got work to do.
282
00:15:04,312 --> 00:15:04,703
[sighs]
283
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:11,778
I'm outside the Piedmont home
of missing teen Emily Mills.
284
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,786
Following Emily's story
is mayoral candidate
Andrew Finney.
285
00:15:15,888 --> 00:15:17,221
It's a horrible situation.
286
00:15:18,352 --> 00:15:20,488
Every parent's worst nightmare.
287
00:15:20,590 --> 00:15:23,095
[Finney] The crime in this city
has gotten out of control.
288
00:15:31,769 --> 00:15:36,336
[speaker] Good afternoon,
community members,
stakeholders and press.
289
00:15:36,438 --> 00:15:38,638
I'm Lee Hackman,
and this is my wife Sybil.
290
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:46,049
We started our company,
Questeur, uh, out of a garage
291
00:15:46,151 --> 00:15:47,746
when we were across the bay,
at Stanford.
292
00:15:48,953 --> 00:15:50,684
And... [stammers] ...today,
293
00:15:50,786 --> 00:15:53,285
Questeur is one of
the largest tech companies
in the world.
294
00:15:53,387 --> 00:15:55,026
And we're about to break ground
295
00:15:55,129 --> 00:15:57,929
on our new Questeur campus
right here in Oakland.
296
00:15:58,031 --> 00:15:59,730
That better mean jobs
for the community.
297
00:15:59,832 --> 00:16:02,530
[chuckles] Uh, you bet.
298
00:16:04,205 --> 00:16:08,541
Uh, we owe a huge thank you
to Oak Creek High School
299
00:16:08,643 --> 00:16:10,537
for lending us their campus.
300
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,505
Over the past seven years,
this school has become one
301
00:16:13,607 --> 00:16:17,048
of the top performing schools
in Oakland.
302
00:16:17,151 --> 00:16:19,179
In other words,
we know where to keep an eye out
303
00:16:19,281 --> 00:16:21,081
for future Questeur employees.
304
00:16:21,183 --> 00:16:22,250
[audience members chuckle]
305
00:16:22,352 --> 00:16:24,850
Superintendent Lennon,
please stand up,
306
00:16:24,952 --> 00:16:27,555
so that we can acknowledge you
and all that you've done here.
307
00:16:28,926 --> 00:16:30,763
All that he's done?
308
00:16:30,865 --> 00:16:33,164
Just smile.
I'll key his car later.
309
00:16:33,266 --> 00:16:36,298
Most of you already have
the Questeur messaging app.
310
00:16:36,401 --> 00:16:39,269
But, uh, we've recently
added a new feature
311
00:16:39,371 --> 00:16:42,270
that enables anyone
to easily register to vote.
312
00:16:42,372 --> 00:16:45,670
And for today only,
you can use the app
313
00:16:45,773 --> 00:16:47,712
to submit questions
directly to the candidates,
314
00:16:47,814 --> 00:16:49,078
which I recommend you do.
315
00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:52,148
Oakland is in a period
of transition.
316
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:54,413
So now, more than ever,
it's critical
317
00:16:54,515 --> 00:16:56,655
that we vote
as informed citizens.
318
00:16:56,757 --> 00:16:58,522
So without further ado,
319
00:16:58,624 --> 00:17:02,821
please welcome Rachel McKegney,
Everett Hoagland
and Andrew Finney.
320
00:17:04,159 --> 00:17:06,760
[audience applause]
321
00:17:06,862 --> 00:17:11,002
They are our future,
and we need to invest
in them accordingly.
322
00:17:11,104 --> 00:17:14,371
While in office,
I championed Measure W.
323
00:17:14,473 --> 00:17:18,208
By utilizing funds allocated
in this anti-gang initiative,
324
00:17:18,310 --> 00:17:21,112
police can focus
on specific areas of the city.
325
00:17:21,214 --> 00:17:24,045
And if elected,
I intend to reduce the budget
326
00:17:24,147 --> 00:17:25,951
for local law enforcement.
327
00:17:26,053 --> 00:17:27,846
[Finney] So I urge you
to vote for me.
328
00:17:29,623 --> 00:17:30,622
There's abs--
329
00:17:30,724 --> 00:17:33,787
[engines revving]
330
00:17:33,889 --> 00:17:37,028
There's absolutely no reason why
a progressive candidate can't
331
00:17:37,130 --> 00:17:39,127
also support
a strong police department.
332
00:17:39,229 --> 00:17:42,668
Please pardon the interruption.
333
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:45,871
The faces you see before you
334
00:17:45,973 --> 00:17:48,940
are all missing girls
from Oakland,
335
00:17:49,042 --> 00:17:51,375
with families
who want them home.
336
00:17:52,207 --> 00:17:55,181
This is Drea Spivey,
337
00:17:56,345 --> 00:17:58,511
a student at this very school,
338
00:17:58,613 --> 00:18:01,419
who went missing
almost four days ago,
339
00:18:01,521 --> 00:18:04,751
but the search party
for her had
very little police support.
340
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:07,358
We came to ask why.
341
00:18:08,561 --> 00:18:09,525
Why?
342
00:18:11,163 --> 00:18:13,959
Does this girl
not deserve attention?
343
00:18:14,061 --> 00:18:18,270
Is it not imperative
to allocate resources
to help find her?
344
00:18:20,235 --> 00:18:23,538
If you feel as we do,
345
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,408
we need you to put pressure
on the police department
346
00:18:26,511 --> 00:18:29,849
and the news media
to bring these girls home.
347
00:18:29,951 --> 00:18:31,710
[protesters]
Bring our girls home!
348
00:18:31,813 --> 00:18:34,050
-Bring our girls home!
-Yes, bring 'em back.
349
00:18:34,152 --> 00:18:36,054
[Shreve] Bring all of them home.
350
00:18:36,156 --> 00:18:38,053
-[Noa] Yes.
-Bring our girls home!
351
00:18:38,155 --> 00:18:40,160
They need to be with us!
352
00:18:40,262 --> 00:18:43,922
I've heard a lot
of people talking
about Emily Mills.
353
00:18:46,093 --> 00:18:49,829
I hope they find her safe,
so she can be returned
to her family.
354
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,571
But my daughter is missing too.
355
00:18:57,778 --> 00:19:00,708
My Drea matters too.
356
00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:05,182
She's my only child,
and I need you
to help me find her.
357
00:19:05,284 --> 00:19:06,945
-[Shreve] Bring her home.
-Bring 'em home.
358
00:19:07,047 --> 00:19:08,848
-[protestor] Do something!
-Your daughter does matter.
359
00:19:11,256 --> 00:19:12,385
And I hope she's home
with you soon.
360
00:19:12,487 --> 00:19:15,227
Your questions are good ones.
361
00:19:15,329 --> 00:19:17,263
But there is a time
and a place for all our words.
362
00:19:19,166 --> 00:19:20,596
-Say her name!
-[protester 1] Say her name!
363
00:19:22,403 --> 00:19:24,631
-Say her name!
-[protesters chanting]
Say her name!
364
00:19:24,733 --> 00:19:29,369
Say her name!
Say her name! Say her name!
365
00:19:29,471 --> 00:19:32,471
Say her name! Say her name!
366
00:19:32,573 --> 00:19:35,947
Say her name! Say her name!
367
00:19:36,049 --> 00:19:38,949
Say her name! Say her name!
368
00:19:39,051 --> 00:19:40,649
[protesters] Say her name!
369
00:19:49,931 --> 00:19:50,989
[Lennon] That was some stunt.
370
00:19:53,863 --> 00:19:57,466
I know you were aggrieved
that this was foisted upon you,
371
00:19:57,568 --> 00:19:59,966
but to embarrass your school,
your students
372
00:20:00,068 --> 00:20:04,905
and your boss this way makes me
question your judgment entirely.
373
00:20:05,007 --> 00:20:07,477
If you continue
to act like one
of the school's children,
374
00:20:07,579 --> 00:20:09,007
I will have no choice
but to treat you like one.
375
00:20:11,818 --> 00:20:12,648
I'll do better.
376
00:20:18,923 --> 00:20:20,085
[sighs]
377
00:20:20,187 --> 00:20:22,127
Ooh.
378
00:20:22,229 --> 00:20:23,961
I hope I didn't get you
into trouble.
379
00:20:24,063 --> 00:20:25,997
Only the good kind. [sighs]
380
00:20:26,099 --> 00:20:28,364
-Eva Pierre.
-Poppy Scoville.
381
00:20:28,466 --> 00:20:31,469
Markus Killebrew
told me all about you.
382
00:20:31,571 --> 00:20:33,772
You think that demonstration
is gonna make a difference?
383
00:20:33,874 --> 00:20:35,206
I don't know. [sighs]
384
00:20:35,308 --> 00:20:37,340
Right now,
I'd just settle for action.
385
00:20:37,442 --> 00:20:40,639
Police, political,
tweets, whatever.
386
00:20:40,741 --> 00:20:42,448
It's what all
these girls deserve.
387
00:20:42,550 --> 00:20:43,041
Yeah.
388
00:20:44,313 --> 00:20:45,384
We can hope. [sighs]
389
00:20:46,017 --> 00:20:47,813
Miss Pierre?
390
00:20:47,915 --> 00:20:51,222
Poppy, this is Tanya,
one of Drea's friends.
391
00:20:51,324 --> 00:20:54,225
-Oh. Nice to meet you, Tanya.
-You too.
392
00:20:54,327 --> 00:20:56,258
I saw what you did in there.
I wanna help.
393
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,462
I ju-- I'm just not sure how.
394
00:20:58,564 --> 00:21:02,198
Well, uh, have you ever heard
Drea mention someone
395
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:03,435
with the nickname "High Hunter"?
396
00:21:04,798 --> 00:21:06,372
Could that
be her drug dealer maybe?
397
00:21:08,001 --> 00:21:10,473
I don't know anything about him.
I don't use.
398
00:21:10,576 --> 00:21:13,141
Um, I should go.
I have a lot of homework to do.
399
00:21:13,243 --> 00:21:15,446
I think it can wait.
400
00:21:15,548 --> 00:21:17,075
I don't think
you're being honest
with me, Tanya.
401
00:21:18,183 --> 00:21:19,385
That's very disappointing.
402
00:21:22,422 --> 00:21:26,091
She hasn't texted me in a week.
I'm scared.
403
00:21:26,193 --> 00:21:28,460
Give me your fear.
Let us act on it.
404
00:21:33,267 --> 00:21:35,126
I never heard her
call him High Hunter,
405
00:21:35,228 --> 00:21:38,199
but Drea did have
this guy she was
hanging around with.
406
00:21:38,301 --> 00:21:39,438
Do you know his name?
407
00:21:40,734 --> 00:21:42,571
All I know is that he was older,
408
00:21:42,673 --> 00:21:45,342
and that Drea said
that he took care of her.
409
00:21:45,444 --> 00:21:47,105
But you didn't like
the sound of him?
410
00:21:48,245 --> 00:21:49,107
She seemed scared.
411
00:21:50,847 --> 00:21:52,814
Everything she described
sounded real controlling.
412
00:21:54,288 --> 00:21:55,947
The last few weeks,
she kept telling me
413
00:21:56,049 --> 00:21:57,786
that she needed some time
in her happy place.
414
00:21:59,423 --> 00:22:01,424
That's all I know. I-I s-swear.
415
00:22:01,526 --> 00:22:03,121
It's okay. You can go, Tanya.
Thank you.
416
00:22:03,863 --> 00:22:04,760
Thanks.
417
00:22:07,362 --> 00:22:11,730
I hate to be the one
to bring this up,
but have you considered that--
418
00:22:11,832 --> 00:22:13,769
This controlling guy
is Drea's pimp?
419
00:22:16,308 --> 00:22:17,674
I'm trying not to go there.
420
00:22:18,338 --> 00:22:19,137
But...
421
00:22:22,712 --> 00:22:25,451
I think I know
where Drea's happy place is.
422
00:22:29,184 --> 00:22:30,918
-[Zarina] You look good
doing the dishes.
-[chuckles]
423
00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:33,892
-I look good doing
a lot of things.
-[chuckles]
424
00:22:33,994 --> 00:22:35,260
-Hey, baby?
-Uh-huh.
425
00:22:35,362 --> 00:22:37,363
-Let me ask you a question.
-Hmm.
426
00:22:37,465 --> 00:22:40,894
You think that Trini
and Aubrey are,
uh-- [sighs]
427
00:22:40,996 --> 00:22:43,262
-Oh. [chuckles]
-Jesus Christ,
I can't even say it.
428
00:22:43,364 --> 00:22:45,302
[chuckles]
429
00:22:45,404 --> 00:22:46,604
No.
Trini told me she's a virgin.
430
00:22:47,503 --> 00:22:49,239
So you two talked about it?
431
00:22:49,342 --> 00:22:50,735
[stammers]
Don't look so shocked.
432
00:22:50,837 --> 00:22:52,038
We talk about a lot of things.
433
00:22:53,876 --> 00:22:55,607
[scoffs] How come you
never told me about it?
434
00:22:55,709 --> 00:22:57,682
You never asked before.
435
00:22:57,784 --> 00:23:01,719
And seeing as how you--
[chuckling]
You can't even say it,
436
00:23:01,821 --> 00:23:04,416
I was right in
assuming it's a don't ask,
don't tell policy.
437
00:23:04,518 --> 00:23:06,753
[sighs] Damn.
438
00:23:06,855 --> 00:23:08,392
[sighs] So I guess we have
to invite
439
00:23:08,494 --> 00:23:10,326
that knucklehead
over for dinner, huh?
440
00:23:10,428 --> 00:23:11,462
-Uh--
-Look, I just want
441
00:23:11,565 --> 00:23:14,164
to sit the boy down,
look him right in his eyes.
442
00:23:14,266 --> 00:23:15,293
See what he's all about.
443
00:23:15,395 --> 00:23:17,236
Okay.
444
00:23:17,338 --> 00:23:18,665
You wanna broach
that subject with Trini...
445
00:23:18,767 --> 00:23:20,904
[scoffs]
...by all means, go ahead.
446
00:23:21,006 --> 00:23:22,839
I will.
447
00:23:22,941 --> 00:23:25,505
-And I won't even
be nice about it either.
-Uh. Okay, big man.
448
00:23:25,607 --> 00:23:27,180
-[chuckles]
-Excuse me.
449
00:23:27,282 --> 00:23:29,246
-I gotta go to work. [kisses]
-Uh-huh.
450
00:23:29,349 --> 00:23:31,050
-Love you.
-I love you, baby.
451
00:23:31,152 --> 00:23:32,311
Bring me back something sweet?
452
00:23:32,414 --> 00:23:33,211
Yes, I will.
453
00:23:34,383 --> 00:23:35,886
It'll be me.
454
00:23:35,988 --> 00:23:36,918
[laughs]
455
00:23:40,027 --> 00:23:40,922
[Eva] Oh, that's--
456
00:23:41,928 --> 00:23:44,190
Hi, sir.
457
00:23:44,292 --> 00:23:47,194
Where are you racing off to,
urgent meeting of the assholes?
458
00:23:47,297 --> 00:23:48,226
-Oh.
-What?
459
00:23:49,068 --> 00:23:51,130
[Poppy groaning]
460
00:23:52,105 --> 00:23:54,540
Just wondering, um,
461
00:23:54,642 --> 00:23:58,673
how someone
with your temperament
became a principal.
462
00:23:58,775 --> 00:24:01,641
[sighs]
I don't need them to like me.
463
00:24:01,743 --> 00:24:03,977
They need me to protect them.
464
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:06,618
That's what my
high school principal did
for me.
465
00:24:10,756 --> 00:24:15,391
My mom was illegal.
She brought me here from Haiti
466
00:24:15,494 --> 00:24:17,189
for a shot
at a better education,
467
00:24:17,291 --> 00:24:21,226
but was, uh, deported
while I was still
in high school.
468
00:24:23,096 --> 00:24:25,568
I didn't have anybody
looking out for me.
469
00:24:25,670 --> 00:24:28,035
My high school principal,
Evelyn Varga,
470
00:24:28,137 --> 00:24:30,272
she made sure
that school was
a safe place, you know?
471
00:24:30,374 --> 00:24:32,270
Like a refuge for me.
472
00:24:33,941 --> 00:24:35,845
She made sure I graduated
on time,
473
00:24:35,947 --> 00:24:38,617
and I was the first one
in my family
to go to college.
474
00:24:41,087 --> 00:24:41,785
Here I am.
475
00:24:43,323 --> 00:24:45,752
Your mother must be so proud.
476
00:24:45,854 --> 00:24:48,055
You honor her sacrifice
every day.
477
00:24:50,729 --> 00:24:53,159
She passed away
shortly after being deported.
478
00:24:55,134 --> 00:24:56,063
I was barely 20.
479
00:24:57,537 --> 00:25:00,298
Ah. I lost my mother
too young as well.
480
00:25:01,274 --> 00:25:02,300
Isn't it always too young?
481
00:25:02,975 --> 00:25:03,972
Hmm.
482
00:25:14,282 --> 00:25:16,547
-Hi, we're looking
for a missing girl.
-Thank you.
483
00:25:16,650 --> 00:25:17,315
Take a look.
484
00:25:26,026 --> 00:25:28,326
Excuse me,
have you seen that girl?
485
00:25:31,498 --> 00:25:32,330
Nah.
486
00:25:34,073 --> 00:25:34,805
[scoffs]
487
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:48,346
[motorcycles revving]
488
00:25:59,125 --> 00:26:00,793
You'll have
to stop blaming yourself
489
00:26:00,895 --> 00:26:03,302
for Drea going missing again.
490
00:26:03,404 --> 00:26:04,934
It's not on you
or the Capstones.
491
00:26:07,004 --> 00:26:09,037
I've been thinking
about a lot of things, Lil.
492
00:26:10,376 --> 00:26:12,041
-My legacy--
-Is secure.
493
00:26:12,143 --> 00:26:12,909
Is it?
494
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:15,241
What are you talking about?
495
00:26:22,450 --> 00:26:26,150
OPD put out a list
of calls they
gonna stop responding to.
496
00:26:26,252 --> 00:26:28,459
Basically,
10 commandments that all say,
497
00:26:28,561 --> 00:26:30,493
"Fuck you,
deal with it yourself."
498
00:26:30,595 --> 00:26:32,962
So, I been thinking I will.
499
00:26:34,468 --> 00:26:36,162
You got nothing
to prove to anyone.
500
00:26:36,264 --> 00:26:40,533
Hmm.
Said the same thing to Poppy.
[clicks tongue]
501
00:26:40,635 --> 00:26:44,506
I'm happy y'all two
have gotten so much closer
the last couple of months.
502
00:26:44,608 --> 00:26:45,909
I can see it's good for you.
503
00:26:46,741 --> 00:26:48,642
Ah, she's still lost.
504
00:26:48,744 --> 00:26:50,510
And my grandma used to say,
505
00:26:50,612 --> 00:26:53,519
"There always gonna
be some people who
are just a little bit restless."
506
00:26:53,621 --> 00:26:54,979
[chuckles]
Georgia grandmas
know everything.
507
00:26:55,082 --> 00:26:58,116
-Yeah. [inhales sharply]
-[sighs]
508
00:26:58,218 --> 00:27:01,661
You got a call today
from Andrew Finney.
509
00:27:03,762 --> 00:27:06,496
-The cat running for mayor?
-Mm-hmm.
510
00:27:06,598 --> 00:27:08,693
Said he wants to meet with you.
511
00:27:08,795 --> 00:27:12,001
Could be he saw the influence
that you have and wants
to work with you.
512
00:27:14,274 --> 00:27:15,136
With our history?
513
00:27:16,409 --> 00:27:18,540
Capstones don't do politics.
514
00:27:18,642 --> 00:27:20,207
Well, maybe they should.
515
00:27:27,554 --> 00:27:30,251
Why did you fall
in love with me?
516
00:27:30,353 --> 00:27:31,251
Hmm,
517
00:27:32,892 --> 00:27:37,725
because there's no one else
in the world like you.
518
00:27:37,828 --> 00:27:39,727
Nothing you do
will make you more
519
00:27:39,829 --> 00:27:42,395
of a man than you already are.
520
00:27:42,497 --> 00:27:47,165
You're the most compassionate,
authentic soul I've ever met.
521
00:27:47,267 --> 00:27:51,139
And I've loved you
from the inside out.
522
00:27:51,771 --> 00:27:52,470
Always.
523
00:27:54,313 --> 00:27:55,473
Inside out, huh?
524
00:28:16,735 --> 00:28:18,096
Have you seen
the latest dispatch
525
00:28:18,198 --> 00:28:20,968
from our new overlords
at Boisterous?
526
00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:22,837
Do they have a problem
with our VO sample?
527
00:28:22,939 --> 00:28:25,071
No, but they'd
just love us to lean
528
00:28:25,173 --> 00:28:27,505
into the
"tragic nature of Drea's life."
529
00:28:28,743 --> 00:28:29,507
Look, Noa...
530
00:28:31,618 --> 00:28:32,983
I think Drea
is being trafficked.
531
00:28:34,253 --> 00:28:34,952
[sighs]
532
00:28:38,023 --> 00:28:40,023
They're gonna hang Drea
and Charise out to dry.
533
00:28:40,125 --> 00:28:44,058
I will control it, okay?
I know how to handle Boisterous.
534
00:28:44,161 --> 00:28:46,925
It-It may mean a lot
of haggling with corporate,
535
00:28:47,027 --> 00:28:48,560
but I can handle Boisterous.
536
00:28:48,662 --> 00:28:51,934
We are going to have to be able
to do the story we wanna do.
537
00:28:52,036 --> 00:28:54,170
These guys are asking
for sensationalist chum.
538
00:28:54,272 --> 00:28:56,906
And we may not feel it at first,
but it'll be a picture here
539
00:28:57,008 --> 00:28:58,743
and a sound bite there,
and before we know it,
540
00:28:58,846 --> 00:29:00,437
the marketing will start
to drive the narrative.
541
00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:02,376
It's how Micah lost sight
of who she really was.
542
00:29:02,478 --> 00:29:03,310
Okay.
543
00:29:04,084 --> 00:29:05,310
Okay.
544
00:29:05,412 --> 00:29:07,752
I'll call the lawyers.
See if they can amend
545
00:29:07,854 --> 00:29:09,681
the contract to give us
marketing approval.
546
00:29:09,783 --> 00:29:10,548
Thank you.
547
00:29:13,491 --> 00:29:14,524
[sighing] Okay.

What happened at the Gardens
with Poppy?
558
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:54,696
I haven't seen you
like this in years.
559
00:29:54,798 --> 00:29:55,593
You think she's good people?
560
00:29:57,033 --> 00:29:58,804
You're the one
that talked to her.
561
00:29:58,906 --> 00:30:01,500
Yeah, she's--
she's not how I expected
her to be.
562
00:30:03,102 --> 00:30:04,107
And don't forget cute.

This man's not blind.

00:30:09,281 --> 00:30:12,610
So what, you're thinking
about working
with her or something?
565
00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:14,612
I can't do this alone.
566
00:30:16,686 --> 00:30:17,615
Just be careful
567
00:30:19,057 --> 00:30:21,157
because that's a fucking
live wire right there.
568
00:30:22,493 --> 00:30:24,396

[Poppy] Hello?
575
00:30:49,387 --> 00:30:51,118
Hello?
576
00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:53,090
[Drea] You have
to stop looking for me.
577
00:30:54,326 --> 00:30:55,325
Drea?
578
00:30:55,427 --> 00:30:56,560
I'm fine.
579
00:30:56,662 --> 00:30:58,763
So, why don't you come home?
580
00:30:58,865 --> 00:31:01,230
We all miss you
and-and-and want you safe.

What-What's going on, honey?
582
00:31:03,801 --> 00:31:04,662
You wouldn't understand.
583
00:31:05,936 --> 00:31:07,300
Well, does it have anything
584
00:31:07,402 --> 00:31:09,007
to do with
that guy Tanya mentioned?
585
00:31:10,970 --> 00:31:12,010
[sighs]
586
00:31:12,775 --> 00:31:14,107
I owe him.
587
00:31:14,209 --> 00:31:17,146
How much? [stammers]
Whatever it is,
588
00:31:17,248 --> 00:31:19,182
we can--
we can pay off your debt
to High Hunter.
589
00:31:19,879 --> 00:31:20,678
What?
590
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:23,984
It's not that simple.
591
00:31:24,086 --> 00:31:26,856
Look, he's done so much for me,
592
00:31:26,958 --> 00:31:30,120
so now I have
to return the favor.
593
00:31:30,222 --> 00:31:31,128
What does that mean?
594
00:31:33,499 --> 00:31:34,164
I don't know.
595
00:31:35,229 --> 00:31:37,068
Give guys blow jobs and stuff.
596
00:31:38,772 --> 00:31:42,601
Drea, that man
is-is pimping you out.
597
00:31:46,972 --> 00:31:48,413
Drea?
598
00:31:48,515 --> 00:31:49,779
Don't tell my mom.
599
00:31:49,881 --> 00:31:51,681
[Poppy] She loves you so much.
600
00:31:51,783 --> 00:31:54,247
She'd do anything for you.
601
00:31:54,349 --> 00:31:55,713
Can that guy you're
with say that?
602
00:31:57,722 --> 00:32:00,284
I got this, okay?
603
00:32:00,386 --> 00:32:02,121
-Tell my mom that.
-Okay,
604
00:32:02,223 --> 00:32:04,896
can you a-at least call her...
605
00:32:04,998 --> 00:32:07,098
[stammers]
...and let her
know you're alive?
606
00:32:08,566 --> 00:32:09,298
Okay?
607
00:32:12,505 --> 00:32:14,237
[exhales deeply]
608
00:32:18,038 --> 00:32:18,736
Trafficked?
609
00:32:20,073 --> 00:32:21,112
[Marcus sighs]
610
00:32:23,242 --> 00:32:24,247
How did this happen?
611
00:32:26,086 --> 00:32:28,119
Could you tell where she was?
Did you hear anything?
612
00:32:28,750 --> 00:32:30,481
No.
613
00:32:30,583 --> 00:32:32,018
But it's not too late for her,
Charise.
614
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,987
We can still bring her home.
615
00:32:34,089 --> 00:32:36,729
Look, Poppy's right, okay?
616
00:32:36,831 --> 00:32:39,095
Now, Drea wouldn't
even had called her
617
00:32:39,198 --> 00:32:41,000
if some part of her
didn't wanna come home.
618
00:32:42,636 --> 00:32:44,069
My question for you is,
619
00:32:45,632 --> 00:32:49,139
do you want me putting this
on the podcast?
620
00:32:49,241 --> 00:32:51,405
When you agreed to let me
interview her initially,
621
00:32:51,507 --> 00:32:54,409
it was a talk about
her time missing
and the drugs.
622
00:32:55,241 --> 00:32:56,774
But this is different.
623
00:32:57,682 --> 00:32:58,776
It's up to you.
624
00:33:00,382 --> 00:33:02,285
I won't air
anything you don't want me to.
625
00:33:03,918 --> 00:33:04,782
[sighs]
626
00:33:11,024 --> 00:33:13,659
If you think it... [sniffs]
...has a chance
to bring her home...
627
00:33:16,666 --> 00:33:17,564
do it.
628
00:33:20,607 --> 00:33:23,801
[breathing shakily]
629
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,483
Hey.
630
00:33:34,585 --> 00:33:35,516
Hey.
631
00:33:38,591 --> 00:33:39,289
So... [sighs]
632
00:33:40,654 --> 00:33:42,825
...Charise approved
using Drea's interviews
633
00:33:42,927 --> 00:33:44,557
to talk about trafficking.
634
00:33:44,659 --> 00:33:46,831
What'd the lawyer say
about amending the contract?
635
00:33:46,933 --> 00:33:50,201
[sighs, chuckles]
Yeah, she said,
636
00:33:50,303 --> 00:33:55,005
"Boisterous is open
to discussion
regarding marketing."
637
00:33:55,107 --> 00:33:57,270
Pop, they'll use
the most lurid details.
638
00:33:57,372 --> 00:33:59,177
The campaign
will be all about sex,
639
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:01,141
-and the girls
will be a footnote.
-Not if we find them.
640
00:34:01,243 --> 00:34:02,979
Have you seen the advertising
641
00:34:03,081 --> 00:34:04,645
for their women's
prison podcast?
642
00:34:04,747 --> 00:34:08,119
Every female inmate wears
the tightest tank
top imaginable.
643
00:34:08,221 --> 00:34:09,986
But that's not gonna happen
with Reconsidered .
644
00:34:10,088 --> 00:34:12,184
Maybe not,
but doesn't it bother you
645
00:34:12,286 --> 00:34:14,455
that it's the Boisterous MO?
646
00:34:14,557 --> 00:34:18,526
Sure, but these girls' story
is way too important,
647
00:34:18,628 --> 00:34:22,334
so... [chuckles]
...I'll give the tank
tops a-an eye roll
648
00:34:22,436 --> 00:34:25,435
and keep it moving if it means
our message gets out
to the masses.
649
00:34:25,537 --> 00:34:29,141
We're not even ready
to go on air
with a trafficking episode.
650
00:34:29,243 --> 00:34:31,577
This pivot requires
more research.
We need more time.
651
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:33,044
Drea doesn't have time!
652
00:34:33,147 --> 00:34:35,375
We're already compromising.
Can't you see that?
653
00:34:35,477 --> 00:34:38,111
What I see is
an opportunity to help.
654
00:34:38,213 --> 00:34:40,117
Look, when I was with Alex,
655
00:34:40,219 --> 00:34:43,318
I saw how our podcast
affected his daughter.
656
00:34:43,421 --> 00:34:46,050
She heard every word
other kids said
about her,
657
00:34:46,152 --> 00:34:49,993
and that was
without salacious marketing
and sensationalized copy.
658
00:34:50,095 --> 00:34:51,889
If we do things
the Boisterous way,
659
00:34:53,263 --> 00:34:54,964
Drea and the other girls
will be hurt
660
00:34:55,066 --> 00:34:57,268
much more than Alex's daughter.
661
00:34:57,370 --> 00:34:59,530
-What are you saying?
-The message doesn't matter
662
00:34:59,632 --> 00:35:01,202
if this is how we're
gonna convey it.
663
00:35:01,304 --> 00:35:04,372
Oh, I wish you would
just trust me!
664
00:35:04,474 --> 00:35:06,005
I wish you would trust me!
I'm telling you,
665
00:35:06,107 --> 00:35:10,779
I am not gonna let Boisterous
exploit Charise,
Drea or any of the girls.
666
00:35:10,881 --> 00:35:11,909
I'm not, Noa.
667
00:35:15,348 --> 00:35:18,421
Poppy, uh, I just--
668
00:35:21,724 --> 00:35:24,922
I just don't think
that I'm compatible
with Boisterous.
669
00:35:28,033 --> 00:35:30,169
So, this'll be my last podcast.
670
00:35:34,641 --> 00:35:36,403
As a journalist,
671
00:35:36,505 --> 00:35:39,240
when I came
across something horrific,
672
00:35:39,342 --> 00:35:42,540
something I wanted
to turn away from,
673
00:35:42,642 --> 00:35:45,745
I couldn't.
I had to confront it.
674
00:35:47,216 --> 00:35:50,915
So, here it goes. [sighs]
675
00:35:52,689 --> 00:35:56,921
[Poppy] Drea Spivey is a bright,
beautiful young woman.
676
00:35:58,627 --> 00:36:01,965
She's a junior
at Oak Creek High in Oakland.
677
00:36:02,067 --> 00:36:04,299
Her favorite subject is biology,
678
00:36:04,401 --> 00:36:07,305
and her dream is
to become a nurse.
679
00:36:08,670 --> 00:36:11,969
And she is also a victim
of sex trafficking.
680
00:36:13,674 --> 00:36:15,410
When people think
of sex trafficking,
681
00:36:15,512 --> 00:36:19,851
their minds go
to scary men kidnapping girls
682
00:36:19,953 --> 00:36:21,220
and taking them across borders.
683
00:36:23,554 --> 00:36:27,088
[Poppy] But sex trafficking
is more often
684
00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:30,923
a neighbor, a friend,
685
00:36:31,025 --> 00:36:36,365
even someone on social media
who lures kids
into trusting them,
686
00:36:36,467 --> 00:36:38,996
only to turn around
and abuse them.
687
00:36:41,374 --> 00:36:43,707
People always assume
this could never happen to them
688
00:36:43,809 --> 00:36:44,639
or their kids.
689
00:36:46,707 --> 00:36:50,910
But the truth is,
it is happening.
690
00:36:51,012 --> 00:36:55,650
And not just in some shadowy,
forgotten corner of the hood.
691
00:36:57,455 --> 00:37:02,394
It's happening in our schools,
our community.
692
00:37:02,496 --> 00:37:05,423
Trafficking has
been labeled an epidemic
in Oakland.
693
00:37:05,525 --> 00:37:07,362
[sex workers chattering]
694
00:37:07,464 --> 00:37:10,835
How much we are to blame
for our negligence
695
00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:13,404
is a conversation for you...
696
00:37:16,041 --> 00:37:16,869
and the god you worship.
697
00:37:18,208 --> 00:37:19,544
What you looking for, mama?
698
00:37:19,646 --> 00:37:20,378
Get in.
699
00:37:23,411 --> 00:37:24,547
[Poppy] I know one thing:
700
00:37:26,516 --> 00:37:29,952
Drea and the other
missing girls like her,
701
00:37:30,054 --> 00:37:31,389
wherever they are,
702
00:37:33,057 --> 00:37:34,051
deserve our love.
703
00:37:36,561 --> 00:37:38,528
I don't got track marks.
I don't mess with that shit.
704
00:37:39,832 --> 00:37:41,163
Smart girl.
705
00:37:41,265 --> 00:37:43,333
[Poppy] I aim to find them
706
00:37:43,436 --> 00:37:47,304
and the people responsible
for taking them away.
707
00:37:47,406 --> 00:37:50,067
Sex trafficking
is a cancer on our city.
708
00:37:51,738 --> 00:37:53,543
[Poppy] I know I can't cure it.
709
00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:57,379
But I can expose it.
710
00:37:57,481 --> 00:37:59,879
I hope you'll follow me
into this world,
711
00:38:01,889 --> 00:38:02,948
however dark it may be.
712
00:38:06,190 --> 00:38:07,656
My name is Poppy Scoville,
713
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:13,596
and I'd like you to reconsider.
714
00:38:20,432 --> 00:38:21,340
[sighs]
715
00:38:28,445 --> 00:38:30,577
I'll clean this up
and send it to ya.
716
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:32,776
I may lay a little music
over the end,
717
00:38:32,878 --> 00:38:34,886
but it'll be ready
to air tomorrow.
718
00:38:34,988 --> 00:38:36,514
-Oh, sounds good.
-Yeah.
719
00:38:36,616 --> 00:38:37,455
-Thank you.
-Sure.
720
00:38:38,584 --> 00:38:40,689
Oh, um... [chuckles]
721
00:38:43,290 --> 00:38:46,957
...I was gonna give this
to you when we got
to 50 million listeners,
722
00:38:47,059 --> 00:38:49,935
-but you'll be there
soon enough.
-[chuckles]
723
00:38:50,037 --> 00:38:52,437
[clicks tongue] Oh, thank you.
724
00:38:56,272 --> 00:38:57,134
It's been an honor.
725
00:38:58,372 --> 00:38:59,136
-Me too.
-Yeah.
726
00:39:06,415 --> 00:39:07,584
Nothing new under the sun.
727
00:39:08,682 --> 00:39:10,147
-But there are new suns.
-Yeah.
728
00:39:22,131 --> 00:39:23,028
[sighs]
729
00:39:25,431 --> 00:39:26,504
Is that...
730
00:39:31,443 --> 00:39:33,710
[Noa] " To my favorite
Oakland girl.
731
00:39:33,812 --> 00:39:37,416
Now that you have your roots,
may you never lose your voice.
732
00:39:38,379 --> 00:39:40,445
Love, Noa."
733
00:39:40,547 --> 00:39:43,422
[cell phone ringing]
734
00:39:51,029 --> 00:39:51,727
Hey, Aames.
735
00:39:56,529 --> 00:39:57,596
Wait, what?
736
00:39:57,698 --> 00:39:59,069
["Holding Me Down" playing]
737
00:39:59,171 --> 00:40:00,439
[police sirens blaring]
738
00:40:31,202 --> 00:40:32,229
[Aames] Hold up, guys.
739
00:40:56,128 --> 00:40:56,792
[Aames] Thank you.
740
00:41:30,329 --> 00:41:31,629
I don't want this to be real.
741
00:41:39,337 --> 00:41:40,539
This motel's on High Street.
742
00:41:42,439 --> 00:41:43,641
Guess what the nickname is.
743
00:41:45,605 --> 00:41:46,941
High Hunter.
744
00:41:50,549 --> 00:41:52,309
Somebody wanted
to shut her up, Aames.
745
00:41:55,419 --> 00:41:56,621
I'm gonna find out who.
746
00:42:03,756 --> 00:42:04,629
[exhales sharply]
747
00:42:11,434 --> 00:42:12,329
[car alarm chirps]
