Hudson.
Took you long enough.
I was about to hang up.
Hope I didn't interrupt your beauty sleep, Detective.
I figured you'd want to get this call at any hour.
Bertrand?
Trust me.
I'm as surprised to be calling as you are to hear from me.
Does this mean you're finally going to tell me
what you know about the disappearance of Alison Anders?
Means I finally got something to tell you.
I'm listening.
No.
Come see me.
Bertrand.
If this is some kind of joke-
Like you told me.
This is my last chance to make things right.
Same place we met last time.
Hey Charlie.
Last call's done.
Rita, I'm looking for a man named Bertrand.
Who?
He's an older guy.
Has an oxygen tank.
Oh.
Out back having his last smoke
I'd imagine.
Do me a favour and ask him to come in and settle up.
Would you Charlie?
Yeah.
Thank you.
106 Harrison Street.
SJPD!
Rex.
What?
Oh no, Alison.
You shouldn't have gone there on your own.
I thought there was an imminent danger.
I was wrong.
Danger had long passed.
The people that I've been trying to track are dead.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
That's Karma's preliminary report on human remains.
It's not Alison.
It's an adult female.
Approximately forty years of age.
Dolly Miles?
Karma's still looking into the dental records.
But-
we found Alison's fingerprints
in the house.
That means she's alive.
I'm liking the odds a lot better than I did yesterday.
What do we know
about Bertrand's death?
Karma's looking into it.
But Charlie, I pushed this right to the front of the line.
I'm sorry ma'am.
I can't let you through.
You've got to tell me something.
Come on!
As if I care!
I can't let you through.
I'm sorry okay?
It's a crime scene.
Excuse me!
Ma'am, please.
Excuse me!
Are you in charge?
Detective Hudson.
What happened?
They won't tell me anything!
You know the people that live here?
Yeah!
Are they all right?
What do you know about them?
Bob Lowther and his daughter Allie.
Are they all right?
They're missing.
When was the last time you saw them?
Two-
Maybe three days ago.
What's going on?
I need to locate them.
You have any idea where they might have gone?
Might be at their cabin I suppose?
Cabin?
Where?
I don't know.
Bob was always going on
about building a safe place-
or whatever that means.
Thanks.
Wait wait.
Wait a sec.
What were they like?
Allie was lovely.
Bob-
Well he got a little strange
after his wife died a couple years ago.
So you believe she's still alive?
I'm hopeful, Fiona-
based on the neighbour's information.
All this time, she's been here in town, under our noses?
No, I don't think so.
I think that Trevor and Dolly left town
as soon as they took Alison.
And they just recently returned under assumed names.
Wow.
We've missed so many years.
And you're sure there's no mistake?
This is my Alison?
We found this at the house.
Technically it's evidence.
But forensics said
that they got everything they need from it.
And I want you to have it.
This was hers!
Can I- ?
Yeah.
Chloe.
People told me to give up hope.
Thank you Charlie.
I know you'll bring Alison home.
Just like you promised.
Jesse.
I need you to run a full search on Bob Lowther.
Trevor Miles's alias.
Of all the names you could choose from, he goes with Bob?
Charlie.
You get anything?
Yeah.
A neighbour said they saw Bob and his daughter Allie
less than three days ago.
Well that's something.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey did you get anything?
Karma's autopsy report
on Bertrand Boyle.
Okay.
What am I looking at here?
He died from a blow to the head.
His oxygen tank
was likely the weapon.
Any prints?
No, wiped clean.
You think it's Trevor Miles?
Yeah, stands to reason.
But why kill Bertrand now?
Well I think Bertrand's been telling the truth
all these years.
Hasn't known where Trevor Miles is.
But he called me.
He said that he had new information.
Maybe he found Trevor.
Maybe Trevor tried to shut him up.
Guys, I got something.
What is it?
Two months ago-
Bob Lowther, AKA Trevor Miles-
bought ten acres of land
just outside of town.
Jesse.
You're a legend.
Send me that address.
Come on pal.
You got something?
Alison.
Get away from me!
Easy pal.
Easy.
I said stay back!
I'm here to help okay?
Help how?
I'm a police detective.
Rex!
Help help!
No no!
Stay back!
Okay, easy.
My name is Charlie.
I'm just here to help.
We're going to get your leg out of this trap.
That okay?
Can we start with that?
Yeah.
Okay.
Rex.
You can take pressure off it.
I'm going to open this up.
You're going to pull your leg out, yeah?
Come on.
Is that Dewey?
Dewey?
Your old dog.
Yeah!
He ran away years ago.
No no.
This is Rex.
Sure looks like Dewey.
Oh!
Hey, easy.
We've got to take a look at that leg.
No, I'm fine.
Just go!
I'm not going to do that.
You need to see a doctor.
No, no doctors!
Rex is going to come with us okay?
Right pal?
He's not going to let anything happen to you.
I promise.
Okay, give me your-
Easy.
Okay, that's good to know.
Thank you.
How is she?
Her leg is going to be fine.
But-?
Well no buts really.
She's in good health.
No signs of abuse or mistreatment of any sort.
Okay, that's a relief-
you know, given the situation.
I mean, we both know how these cases usually go.
Yeah.
What is it?
She did refuse a tetanus shot.
She screamed at the doctor
and said that he was trying to poison her.
Well the abductor could have kept her away from doctors
to prevent detection.
Have you talked to her yet?
Not since she's been here.
Do you want me to?
No I'm going to try.
Charlie.
She might be more open talking to me.
Let's see how I do first, all right?
Okay.
If you need me-
Thanks.
Rex.
Hey.
Can we talk?
Just for a minute.
Sounds like he wants to get up there with you.
That okay?
Watch her leg pal.
It's okay.
It's better.
Well he likes you.
He's been helping me look for you-
for a long time.
Look for me?
Why?
Well we were worried about you.
Why would you be worried about me?
I was with my mom and dad.
Are these two people-
are they your mom and dad?
Yeah.
Where are they now?
Mom died.
It's just me and Dad now.
Where's he?
Why do you want to know?
My daughter is in there!
Ms. Anders, you can't go in there!
It's been fourteen years!
And I won't be kept from-
Charlie I tried to stop her!
There she is!
I've missed you so much!
Fiona, let's talk outside please.
Please Charlie!
I need to kiss my baby girl!
Who is that?
Fiona.
It's me!
It's your momma!
You-
you are not my mom!
Okay get her out of here!
Hey all right.
Okay.
Sarah.
Ms. Anders, let's go.
She doesn't remember me?
I know.
Come on.
How could she not remember me?
You okay?
Just keep that lady away from me.
Rex, stay.
I've accepted that we'd never find her.
But to find her-
only to have her not remember me?
It's too much.
Imagine-
how confused Alison must be.
She's been told for fourteen years
that she was somebody else.
Did they hurt her?
No.
No, by all accounts she was well cared for.
What happens now?
She's agreed to stay overnight
so the doctor can watch her.
And then what?
I don't know.
What are you saying?
She's almost of legal age.
The decision will likely be hers.
But that's crazy!
She doesn't even know who she is!
I know this is tough.
But-
she did remember some things.
She remembered when she was little that she had a dog.
She called Rex Dewey.
Yeah, that was the name of our shepherd.
Yeah.
So she remembers the dog.
But she doesn't remember me?
Hang in there.
Okay?
Your daughter's still in there.
If anyone can get her back, it's Rex.
Hey.
Hey it's the man of the hour!
No no, not yet.
Jesse, Jesse.
Hey Charlie.
I know that Trevor's in the wind.
But you've got to know
that you've earned the right to take a beat
and celebrate the win.
Finding Alison after all these years is-
it's huge.
Okay what is it?
She doesn't recognize her mother.
She thinks that Trevor and Dolly are her parents.
Trevor didn't steal her childhood.
He stole who she is.
I hear you.
Believe me, I hear you Charlie.
But you've got to know-
I have every single cop on this force
out there looking for them.
Yeah okay.
Jesse how about the tip line huh?
Trevor's photo's gone wide.
But no hits.
Okay.
I'm going to head back to the bar.
I'm going to see if I can tie Trevor to Bertrand's death yeah?
Rex.
I've never seen Charlie like this before.
Yeah.
Every cop has that one case.
But this-
This one's his.
Hey Rita, you got a second?
Hey!
So I wanted to ask you a couple of questions
about Bertrand's death.
Well I was in here tending bar the whole time.
And that poor sod-
he looked like he was on his last legs anyway.
Well I think someone
may have helped him on the way out.
Was he with anyone?
Sure, he was over there playing darts with some guy.
♪Money never meant that much to me ♪
Were they friendly?
Were they unfriendly?
Who's to say Charlie?
They were playing darts.
Was it this guy?
♪Unless there's tonnes
Yeah.
A bit older now.
♪and still all these mouths to feed ♪
Thanks. - No worries.
♪That's just greed
Yeah, Hudson.
This is North Shore Hospital.
Yeah?
We have a situation here.
On my way.
Come on pal.
Nurse [on PA]: Dr. Vernon.
Please report to Pharmacy.
What happened?
She hit me!
I was just trying to do bloodwork!
Alison?
Allie.
It's Charlie and Rex.
Leave me alone!
Just leave me alone!
Alison!
Can you let me in please?
Nurse [on PA]: Dr. Simmons.
You have an emergency call.
Good job pal.
Go.
Oh!
What are you doing here?
Alison, I sent Rex in to make sure that you're okay.
You're not coming in here to stick any needles in me!
Nobody's going to stick any needles in you.
I'm not going to let the nurses
do any tests that you don't want.
Can you let me in?
I just want to go home.
You know, everyone that's here-
they're trying to help you.
I can't stay here, all right?
I do that-
they're going to start experiments on me.
Put a chip in me or something.
They're not going to do that.
You don't know.
I need to get back to the clean air.
The air is clean in here.
I assure you.
There's been a big spike in airborne toxins and diseases.
It's one of the warning signs.
I just want to go home to my dad.
When is the last time you saw your dad?
A couple of days.
He left to get supplies.
Well I need to find him.
Do you have any idea where he might be going?
Was he meeting anybody?
The name Bertrand Boyle-
Does that mean anything to you?
No, who's that?
He was seen with your father yesterday-
right before we found Bertrand dead.
Okay my dad had nothing to do with that!
I'm not saying that he did.
I still need to talk to him to be sure.
This is just what he said would happen.
Okay one day the police would come up with some lie
to pull us from safety
right before the cataclysm.
I need to go home!
Charlie, hey.
How's Alison?
I need you to poke around
the conspiracy corners of the web for me.
Okay, I mean it's not so much a corner
as it is the entire Internet.
You want to be more specific?
Paranoid about medical experiments-
chemicals in her food.
Mentioned something about a cataclysm.
Sounds like she and Trevor might be preppers.
Is that people who prepare for the doomsday?
Is that a religious thing?
Well it depends who you ask.
But anyone obsessed with judgement day, nuclear strikes-
societal collapse.
The house that we found Alison in
was stockpiled with food.
Maybe we can link Trevor to this group-
if they're organized here in town.
Okay okay.
If I can narrow down what they're involved in.
But I mean look.
Trying to separate different types of crazy on the internet
is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Just find me something, Jesse.
This is going to take a while.
Joe, hey.
We might have a lead on Trevor.
But um-
I could use a hand.
What do you want?
You want to get some clean air?
Okay.
I have a Book of Revelations-
10 signs from Newfoundland That It's Already Here.
Okay, here's one.
Anti-Authoritarian Truth Brigade.
It's a local group that believes
the police and the government
are plotting some grand conspiracy.
You know what Jesse?
Bookmark that one.
Okay.
It may not be Trevor's group.
But it might be worth our while to keep tabs on them.
Oh hold on.
I have a comment here
mentioning a Cataclysm Readiness Society in St. John's.
Okay I'll see what I can dig up.
So I don't have to go back to the hospital?
No, that's the deal.
You had the doctor look at your leg.
She said you're free to go.
What is this place?
Uh-
You lived here
fourteen years ago.
Do you remember that?
With my dad?
No.
Not with your dad.
But he did live on this street.
That doesn't make any sense okay?
Why wouldn't we live together?
You were abducted by the man you know as your father.
I know that's probably difficult to believe.
Is that a lie?
My dad says that police lie.
I'm not lying to you, Alison.
That woman in the house-
She was at the hospital earlier.
She'd really like to see you.
I guess that would be okay.
Okay.
Victor Khan?
Thanks for meeting me.
Ah ah.
You got a phone on you?
Yeah.
Do me a favour?
Shut it off.
Toss it in here.
Okay.
It's a Faraday net bag.
It scrambles the signal, you know?
I hope you don't mind.
Oh completely, completely-
I just-
I wanted to ask you about that Cataclysm Readiness group
you were posting about online.
Oh yeah yeah yeah.
You're starting to worry too eh?
Well yeah.
I mean, it's hard not to.
Environmental disasters.
Diseases coming out of the woodwork.
Yeah man.
The atomic clock is closer to midnight
than it's been in decades, you know?
We've got chemicals in our food.
You've got the temperature changing.
We've got microplastics in the water.
Every country in the world
rattling sabres at each other!
When you put it that way, yeah.
That sounds hopeless.
Well you know-
there are still ways to live outside the noise.
You know-
cleanly.
Unpolluted.
Unmonitored.
Where do you learn how?
Look, I just don't know how I feel
about searching this stuff up on the internet-
where anyone can track me.
Right?
I'm part of a group who are getting ready for the end days.
We meet Wednesdays at the First United Church.
Who runs this group?
No one.
We're self-governed-
I mean unless you count Dave.
He rents the basement from the church.
So-
Oh.
Oh!
Sorry, I forgot I had this!
I hope you don't mind that we stopped by.
I'm sorry I was rude at the hospital.
Can I take a look around?
Of course.
Please come in.
Um-
can I talk to her alone?
Yeah okay okay.
I'll wait outside.
Jesse.
Charlie, I found the needle.
There's one underground prepper group
in St. John's.
They're meeting for a seminar-
this afternoon.
Is Trevor involved?
Well there was a post on a forum from two months ago.
Bob gave a presentation
on how to keep a well- stocked disaster pantry.
I just need to locate the church
where the group meets.
Oh!
The name my source gave me was a dead end.
Hey, uh- thanks Jesse.
I've got to call you back.
Fiona?
Damn it!
Stand back pal.
That's a better idea.
What happened?
Uh, she ran.
She's gone.
You okay?
Yeah go!
This will help.
Okay yeah.
Thank you.
I turned my head.
She hit me from behind.
She was out the back door
before I had a chance.
It's not your fault.
Sure it is.
I was so young when I had her.
Her dad took off
on the first boat out of here.
Left me alone.
You did the best that you could.
Yeah, I tried.
I worked two jobs.
I barely slept.
The day she went missing I'd just pulled a triple.
I could hardly keep my eyes open.
Yeah, I know.
She played outside on her own before.
You know?
It was supposed to be a
safe neighbourhood.
Fiona.
I'm going to find her.
Oh yeah?
Who is her now?
She doesn't even know me.
You know, last time I saw you-
you said you were off this stuff.
Mmm. Hmm?
Yeah, well last time I saw you-
I was still holding on to hope.
Hey hey.
Look at me.
It's not time to lose hope.
Come on.
Charlie I cleaned myself up for the day
when I would meet my daughter again.
I never thought that when that day came-
she wouldn't want to see me.
She said I have nothing against you.
But you're not my mother!
Do you have any idea how that feels?
Come on.
You're coming down to the station with me.
Are you arresting me?
No.
Come on.
Charlie what were you thinking?
I made a mistake.
I thought that she was going to recognize her old life.
Yeah well you should have taken it slower.
I should have brought her home 14 years ago.
Where's Fiona now?
She's with a couple of officers.
I got her to agree to talk to Dalton.
Dalton?
Why?
Well because she's started drinking again.
I thought maybe he could help her
before she gets too deep.
Hey.
I got something.
Go ahead.
Can you handle the meeting-
with Fiona and Dalton?
Yeah of course.
Thanks.
Trevor's group
is meeting in a church basement.
I appreciate your interest.
But unfortunately-
this is an invite- only seminar, Mr. -
Uh- Detective.
Charlie Hudson.
That goes double then, Detective.
Ah.
Politely-
I'd like to ask you to leave.
I'm just here to ask a few questions.
It always starts with the questions.
Mm-hmm.
Well it's a nice garden you've got here.
When society collapses-
we've got to know how to provide for ourselves.
Even if we're forced underground.
Well I was just at the home of one of your group's members.
Bob Lowther.
He could use this seminar.
His gardens are-
um- above ground now.
Bob's a good guy.
I'm not going to help you pester him or his family-
if that's what you're after.
Do you know his daughter, Allie?
Yeah she's a nice kid.
I watched her grow up into an upstanding young woman.
Mm-hmm.
Well I'm glad you had the privilege.
Because her mother didn't-
because her daughter was abducted by that good guy.
Look Dave.
I don't have anything against you.
I've got nothing against your group.
But the man you know as Bob Lowther-
is actually Trevor Miles.
And he abducted the girl that you know as Allie.
He may have also killed a man named Bertrand Boyle.
Do you know him?
No.
I swear.
I had no idea.
Bob, Allie-
and Dolly-
were such a sweet family.
They always seemed so happy together until Dolly passed.
After he lost her-
Bob became totally paranoid.
How do you mean?
If anyone who lived as clean as Dolly could get cancer-
that confirmed to Bob that the end-days were already here.
When's the last time you saw them?
Not for a while.
He kept talking about building a place-
where he can finally feel safe.
I imagine that's where he spends most of his time.
Did you find Allie?
Yeah.
Yeah we did.
But we lost her.
Allie is Bob's whole world.
If you're trying to tear them apart-
he won't let that happen.
Well he won't make that decision.
That's her?
Yeah.
She wants this?
She started drinking when her daughter went missing.
But Charlie says she's been sober ten years now.
And she's drinking again?
She's going through a rough time.
Flirting, I suppose.
Addicts don't flirt.
They use or they don't.
The services a Dollar A Day supports
can only help a person who wants it.
She agreed to talk to you.
I think that's a good sign, right?
Yeah.
Joe, I'm just at Trevor's cabin.
Uniforms have already done a sweep.
But I don't know.
I just want to see if Rex can find anything.
Come on.
What is it?
Well-
it looks like Trevor built that safe place for Alison after all.
Huh?
Come on.
Alison.
Alison!
Hey Trevor.
What did you do to the kid?
That's on you-
interfering.
She was upset.
She needed something to help her sleep.
So you drugged her?
Just to calm her down.
You should have left us alone!
You know I wouldn't do that.
Okay, so here we are.
How do we all get out of this room safely?
Your safety-
means nothing to me.
Easy pal.
Easy.
I do what it takes to protect Alison.
I do what's right.
That why you killed Bertrand Boyle?
I could tell that little weasel-face
was going to turn me in.
Bertrand was on his way out anyway.
We're all on our way out!
Alison's life is just getting started.
No you don't come here-
and pretend like you're going to help her.
I keep her safe.
Me!
You have her drugged
in a bunker!
You stole her from her mother!
That woman couldn't provide a good home for her!
Alison was playing by the street.
She could have got hit by a car!
Then why didn't you call the cops?
You didn't kidnap her
because you wanted to protect her.
You kidnapped her because you wanted a child of your own.
Dad?
Is that true?
Okay okay okay.
You got to raise her as a father.
She's a great kid.
The way this ends-
is you put the gun down.
And we leave peacefully.
No!
No.
Me and Alison are going to leave this place.
I'm not going to let you do that.
Alison.
Go upstairs.
No.
Go.
No!
Alison.
Alison!
You did this!
You poisoned her mind!
Stop it!
Stop it, both of you!
Dad! Dad!
Give it to me.
Let go.
Let it go.
I just wanted to protect you Allie.
I know.
Go on.
Turn around.
Hands on your head.
Trevor Miles.
You're under arrest-
for the murder of Bertrand Boyle-
and for the abduction-
of Alison Anders.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Fiona has agreed to see a counselor.
Dollar A Day helps to fund an organization
that will provide good help for her.
Is she going to be okay?
Knowing her daughter is alive is something.
But if she wants to stay sober
she'll get the help she needs.
That's great.
Thanks Dalton.
Yeah, appreciate everything Dollar A Day does, man.
Thanks.
Alison's ready.
You want me to come with-?
Uh-
No.
I got it this time.
Come on pal.
What's going to happen to my dad?
That's going to be up to the courts.
He really did-
kidnap me?
Yeah.
And my mom really was a good mom?
Yeah she was.
It's my choice, right?
It's your choice.
You're not coming in with me?
I think you're ready.
Don't you?
Will you come in anyways?
Yeah!
Hi.
Hi!
Can we come in?
Yeah of course!
I'll find a place.
You're welcome to stay here.
I know.
But I don't feel like I belong here.
I'm not the person that you've been waiting for all this time.
What are you going to do?
Uhh-
Figure out my life.
You can stay here.
Honest.
I'll give you all the space-
I can't-
I can't.
Um-
before you go-
I cleaned up Chloe for you.
Chloe?
You know her name?
Yeah!
I got her for you!
I got you something.
Here.
I love her!
Thank you!
Here.
Mom!
Yeah!
I'm your mother-
no matter what.
Mom!
