00:00:00I can walk to school, you know. It's only five blocks away.
00:00:08I prefer to take you. That way I know you got there safe.
00:00:12Mom, you're gonna have to let me go at some point. I'm turning 18 in a few months. I'm almost an adult.
00:00:17Oh well, turning 18 doesn't give you automatic good judgment and experience.
00:00:21You have to learn those things.
00:00:24How am I supposed to if you never let me do anything on my own?
00:00:32Honey, the world is full of dangerous people. I just don't think you're ready to deal with it all yet.
00:00:40Maybe you're the one not ready to deal with it.
00:00:44Let's call Dad. Honey, I don't know if his plane has landed yet.
00:00:48Hey, Dad. Hey, kiddo. Say hi to Mom.
00:00:52Hi. Hey, babe. How's everything?
00:00:54Yeah, it's fine. I just checked into the hotel. I got a meeting in like an hour.
00:00:58Sounds good. Let me know how it goes.
00:01:01Oh, the permit office called. They weren't too thrilled with the blueprints we submitted last week.
00:01:06Dad, can I go to a party at Nicole's tonight?
00:01:08I already told you now.
00:01:09But why? My grades are almost all A's except for math.
00:01:11I finished all my college essays and I'm two sections ahead in my SAT press.
00:01:14Because I know for a fact that Nicole's parents are in the Bahamas
00:01:17and you are too young to go to a party that's unsupervised.
00:01:20Being a cop made you paranoid.
00:01:22Yeah. Listen, um, honey, can you handle that?
00:01:25Um, since you're there and you're the one that said no?
00:01:28Okay, just don't forget to ask them why the materials are so cheap.
00:01:31The permit office is worried that they're subpar.
00:01:34You got it. I'll do just that, all right? I'll talk to you guys later.
00:01:37Hey, Maddie, listen to your mom.
00:01:39Yeah, whatever.
00:01:40Bye.
00:01:41Bye, Dad.
00:01:42I was a hostage negotiator, not a cop.
00:01:44And I'm protective of you because I know what's out there.
00:01:56All right, so I will meet you at four for your meeting with Mr. Hammer?
00:02:00Fine.
00:02:01Hey.
00:02:02I love you.
00:02:04So that's why you embarrassed me by dropping me off at school like I'm a freshman?
00:02:08I liked you a lot better when you didn't talk back.
00:02:10Perfect.
00:02:11I'll never talk to you again.
00:02:13Ha-ha, very funny.
00:02:15Laughing all the way to work.
00:02:18Good morning.
00:02:19Oh, wait. She just walked in.
00:02:20Good morning, Alice. I have Tony Monterelli on the phone for you.
00:02:37Tony? What's his name?
00:02:41Good morning.
00:02:42Oh, wait. She just walked in.
00:02:43Good morning, Alice. I have Tony Monterelli on the phone for you.
00:02:46Tony? What's his name?
00:02:47Tony. What's his deal?
00:02:49Uh, rhetorical question.
00:02:51I'll put her through.
00:02:56Hey, Tony.
00:03:00Yes. I-I-I'm sure he will be there.
00:03:05Yes, he has other meetings today.
00:03:08Okay.
00:03:09All right, will do. I'm sure he will be there.
00:03:11Talk to you later.
00:03:14Everything okay?
00:03:15Yeah, strange.
00:03:17Tony from the construction company called.
00:03:19Said he went to pick up Brent at the airport and he wasn't there.
00:03:22Well, he already checked into his hotel.
00:03:24He doesn't meet with them until tomorrow.
00:03:27Did he call you?
00:03:28No. I called him. I had a question about the electrician.
00:03:32Okay.
00:03:33Well, he seemed very worried, like Brent didn't actually make the meeting.
00:03:38I don't know.
00:03:42Hey.
00:03:43I'm sorry you didn't get to go.
00:03:45I know you were counting on it.
00:03:47It's just...
00:03:48I have so much work here while Brent is in New York.
00:03:51I totally understand.
00:03:52That's what assistants are for.
00:04:09A large skin and latte with two shots for Alice.
00:04:12Oh, geez, I'm so sorry.
00:04:16Steve.
00:04:17Alice.
00:04:19It's not the first time you spilled coffee on me.
00:04:21Ah, I'm so sorry.
00:04:23Did I get you?
00:04:24No, it's fine. Let me call you back.
00:04:26Ah.
00:04:27How are you?
00:04:28Great.
00:04:29Yeah?
00:04:30I'm great, yeah.
00:04:31It's good to see you.
00:04:32Yeah, you too.
00:04:33You got a minute? You want to sit?
00:04:34Yeah, sure.
00:04:35Great.
00:04:36So, I see you can't get away from uniforms.
00:04:41Yeah, it's my calling, you know.
00:04:43How's civilian life treating you?
00:04:44It's good.
00:04:46Three years have flown by.
00:04:48Three years, wow.
00:04:49And Maddie must be a what, a junior now?
00:04:51She just started senior year.
00:04:53Senior year.
00:04:54That was fast.
00:04:55Can I get you something over here?
00:04:56Oh, yeah.
00:04:57Can I get a double espresso?
00:04:59Come on.
00:05:00Thanks.
00:05:01And how's Brent?
00:05:02Yeah, he's Brent.
00:05:04A mover and a shaker.
00:05:06We are trying for a new development deal on the Strip, so he's in New York meeting with contractors and investors.
00:05:13Some things never change.
00:05:16Some things do.
00:05:18Sometimes.
00:05:21It was good to see you, Steve.
00:05:22Yeah, it was really good to see you, Alice.
00:05:26Hey, Alice, listen, if you ever need anything, I'm around.
00:05:30I know.
00:05:36So, as you can see, she's right on track.
00:05:40About the math.
00:05:42It's not that important when you're applying for creative writing programs.
00:05:46Yes.
00:05:47Can we talk about the practicalities of this major?
00:05:49Mom.
00:05:50I want you to be able to get a job when you graduate.
00:05:53There are many options.
00:05:54Most students that graduate from Ainsley, they have books commissioned.
00:05:59Ainsley?
00:06:01As in Ainsley College in New York City?
00:06:04Yes.
00:06:05Well, technically Brooklyn, but...
00:06:07Mom, just...
00:06:08We'll talk about this when we get home.
00:06:10Yeah, right.
00:06:12I believe in Maddie.
00:06:13She'll be fine no matter what she does.
00:06:30You're not ready to be on the other side of the country.
00:06:34Dad is there for work literally all the time.
00:06:36What if...
00:06:38What if you need us and we...
00:06:40We can't get to you?
00:06:42Plus, there are plenty of excellent schools here.
00:06:46It's the one I want to go to.
00:06:49Josh says I'd meet the right people.
00:06:52Josh?
00:06:53First name basis.
00:06:55What? He's nice.
00:06:57I bet.
00:06:58Hey, kiddo. How was your day?
00:07:00Awful. Mom won't let me go to the college I want to apply to.
00:07:03Okay.
00:07:04Well, uh...
00:07:05Look, I've...
00:07:06I've actually had a really long day myself and, um...
00:07:09I got a lot of meetings tomorrow, so can we talk about this when I get home?
00:07:12Did you even hear what I said?
00:07:13Yes, I did.
00:07:14Uh, college.
00:07:15And...
00:07:16Your mom and I will discuss.
00:07:18Fine.
00:07:19No one cares what I want.
00:07:20I care.
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23About work and money.
00:07:33Hi.
00:07:39Can you lighten up on her a little bit, please?
00:07:41She's not ready to be in New York City all by herself.
00:07:45You've always been overprotected, but honestly, it's getting to a point where it's ridiculous.
00:07:49Kid doesn't even have a chance to breathe.
00:07:51New York? No way.
00:07:53L.A. is not much better than New York.
00:07:55You know what? Let's sidebar this.
00:07:57Whatever you say.
00:07:58I'm just trying to get her to adulthood safely, okay?
00:08:02And alive.
00:08:04Tony Mattarelli called the office today.
00:08:07What did he want?
00:08:08He said he went to pick you up at the airport and you weren't there.
00:08:10He said that?
00:08:11Yeah, something about wanting to show you around New York.
00:08:15Like you haven't been there before.
00:08:16You are in New York, right?
00:08:18Where else would I be?
00:08:19I don't know. You don't have the best track record of telling me the truth.
00:08:22Okay. Tony's Tony. He's...
00:08:24He's a shady guy is what he is.
00:08:26Who's paying us a lot of money.
00:08:28Yeah, money coming from God knows where.
00:08:31You really want to do this now?
00:08:33You know what?
00:08:35It's late.
00:08:37You should get some rest.
00:08:39We'll talk about this tomorrow.
00:08:41Just...
00:08:42Don't forget to tell them to...
00:08:43I know. I know. Check the materials.
00:08:45I got it.
00:08:46I'm just trying to help.
00:08:47I know who you are, okay?
00:08:48I'll handle everything here.
00:08:50You handle Maddie.
00:08:52I love you.
00:08:53I love you too.
00:08:54I love you too.
00:09:11Large cheese, extra pepperoni.
00:09:12Thanks.
00:09:13You got it.
00:09:14Hey!
00:09:31What?
00:09:32Maddie?
00:09:34Maddie?
00:09:35Pizza's here.
00:09:36I'm not hungry.
00:09:37What did you eat today?
00:09:38Mmm.
00:09:39Nine cheeseburgers, a box of cookies, and not a single vegetable.
00:09:44You want to see the receipts?
00:09:47Did you do your homework?
00:09:48No.
00:09:49Maddie!
00:09:50Mom, yes.
00:09:51That was a joke.
00:09:53Very funny.
00:09:55I love you.

00:10:54What did Josh say to your mom?
00:10:56He told her he thought I could get into Ainsley.
00:10:58She, like, freaked out.
00:10:59Of course she did.
00:11:00Tell her to take whatever's lodged up her ass out.
00:11:02Seriously, she knows all I want to do is go there and get away from her.
00:11:05So annoying.
00:11:06She wants me to be able to get a stable job.
00:11:08Why?
00:11:09That school's amazing.
00:11:10My dad would be so happy if I could even get in there.
00:11:12I don't know.
00:11:12She thinks I should stay home for college because she doesn't think I'm ready to go out on my own.
00:11:16What are you, 12?
00:11:17She thinks I'm 10.
00:11:18Man, your mom's got issues.
00:11:20Hey, Nicole, can I have some of this?
00:11:22Yeah, go for it.
00:11:24Can I get some of that?
00:11:26Mm-hmm.
00:11:26You should take a shot.
00:11:27Come on, Maddie.
00:11:28No, I'm just fine.
00:11:29Is that you saying no or your mom?
00:11:31I'm just kind of tired.
00:11:33You don't look tired to me.
00:11:35I'm really just not thirsty.
00:11:38Oh, it's tasty.
00:11:40Next time, I promise.
00:11:42Yeah, right?
00:11:43I think I'm going to go, though.

00:11:46Be safe.
00:11:46Okay.
00:11:46Text me when you get home.
00:11:48Bye.
00:11:48Bye.
00:11:48I can't believe it.
00:11:51I know.
00:11:58Good night, honey.
00:11:59I can't believe it.
00:11:59I can't believe it.
00:12:00I can't believe it.
00:12:00I can't believe it.
00:12:01I can't believe it.
00:12:01I can't believe it.
00:12:02I can't believe it.
00:12:02I can't believe it.
00:12:03I can't believe it.
00:12:03I can't believe it.
00:12:04I can't believe it.

00:12:10I can't believe it.
00:12:11I don't know.
00:12:41I don't know.
00:13:11I don't know.
00:13:41I don't know.
00:14:11I don't know.
00:14:15You haven't been spending much time with me lately.
00:14:19Is this about you not coming to New York?
00:14:21We were going to have a romantic week together.
00:14:25Champagne, hot tub.
00:14:27Remember?
00:14:28I know, I know.
00:14:30But, you know, things came up.
00:14:32You said that last time.
00:14:33Look, it turned out to be a very busy trip.
00:14:36Back-to-back meetings.
00:14:37We wouldn't have any time to spend together anyway.
00:14:39And besides, Alice is in L.A.
00:14:41Alice?
00:14:42Can she do anything herself?
00:14:46You are our assistant.
00:14:48Really?
00:14:49Yes, really.
00:14:51You're never going to leave her.
00:14:54Brent, are you or are you not?
00:14:56I'm so tired of this back and forth.
00:15:00I will, okay?
00:15:02And then you and I can run the business together, but it's not the right time right now.
00:15:05It's never the right time.
00:15:07I knew when you canceled my ticket to New York that you weren't going to follow through with any of your promises.
00:15:12Victoria, listen to me.
00:15:14No.
00:15:15I will not listen to any more of your lies and broken promises.
00:15:19Okay, so Costa Rica, Costa Rica was a lie.
00:15:22I remember that being a very good time.
00:15:24That was two years ago.
00:15:26Look, I have to go.
00:15:27I've got to get to a meeting.
00:15:28Can we talk about this later?
00:15:30Fine.
00:15:38Yes, I'm en route.
00:15:39I'll be there in 15 minutes.
00:15:41He said what?
00:15:55Matty!
00:15:57You're going to be late!
00:16:09Matty!
00:16:09Matty, why are you still in bed?
00:16:14Matty, wake up, honey.
00:16:19Matty, we don't have time for this today.
00:16:22Matty!
00:16:22Matty, are you trying on those shoes again?
00:16:39Where are you?
00:16:41Who's for?
00:16:42Matty!
00:16:58Matty, work with me!
00:16:59Matty, work with me!
00:17:02Thank you!

00:17:07Manny, where are you?
00:17:23Hi.
00:17:24Are you okay?
00:17:27What's wrong?
00:17:28Someone has me.
00:17:31What do you mean someone has you?
00:17:33I was kidnapped.
00:17:35What?
00:17:36What are you talking about?
00:17:38Who took you?
00:17:39I don't know.
00:17:40They had a knife for me.
00:17:42Oh, my God.
00:17:47Maddie, listen to me.
00:17:50Everything is going to be okay.
00:17:54Ask him how much he wants.
00:17:57How much do you want?
00:18:01He says don't call the police.
00:18:03Maddie.
00:18:05Maddie, listen to me.
00:18:07Your job right now is to do whatever you can to stay alive.
00:18:12Do you understand me?
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:16Now put him on the phone.
00:18:20Because he wants to talk to you.
00:18:21I don't know who you are or what you want, but you better be ready.
00:18:29Because I'm coming for my girl.
00:18:34Do you hear me?
00:18:37Please.
00:18:38Please just let me go now.
00:18:40I won't say anything.
00:18:41Please.
00:18:42No.
00:18:42Please.
00:18:44No.
00:18:45No.
00:18:45Come on.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:03Come on.
00:19:04Come on.
00:19:04Come on.
00:19:05Pick up.
00:19:06Pick up.
00:19:06Pick up.
00:19:07You've reached Brent Gould, leave me a message.
00:19:14Brent, you need to call me back as soon as you get this.
00:19:20Your car.
00:19:50Cheryl, hi, it's Alice Gould.
00:19:58Hi Alice, how are you?
00:20:00Uh, great, how are you?
00:20:01I'm good.
00:20:02Hey, I have a favor to ask you.
00:20:05I know I shouldn't be doing this, but there was a car parked in my neighborhood last night,
00:20:09and I was just wondering if you could run the plates for me.
00:20:12You know I can't do that. You know how Johnson is.
00:20:15Yeah, I know. I just, I don't want to get the police involved in case it was just a neighbor or something.

00:22:44You're in already.
00:22:44Yep, I got here early.
00:22:46I had to take care of a few things.
00:22:47What time will you be here?
00:22:48That's actually why I'm calling.
00:22:50I'm not going to be in today.
00:22:51Um, you have the meeting with the potential new tenants today.
00:22:55You have to be here.
00:22:56Maddie's sick, so I need you to actually reschedule those meetings for me today.
00:23:00No offense, Alice, but she's 17.
00:23:02She can stay home by herself.
00:23:04Don't tell me how to raise my daughter.
00:23:06Um, sorry, that wasn't what I intended.
00:23:09Um, I didn't realize it was so serious.
00:23:12Do you want me to call Brent and get him out of that meeting?
00:23:15No, no, I'll deal with Brent.
00:23:16I don't want to worry him.
00:23:17Just go ahead and cancel my meetings, all of them, for the whole week.
00:23:20For the week?
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:22I-I Maddie's got something and I need to be with her.

00:44:56look at this
00:44:57I might explain something
00:45:02motive for despair
00:45:04I think I know
00:45:10how do you know about this place
00:45:19I helped Maddie bring chairs down here
00:45:21after one of her readings
00:45:22you really think he's holed up here
00:45:23he could be anywhere in the school
00:45:24yeah
00:45:25this is definitely the place
00:45:26he keeps all of his equipment in there
00:45:27lights, microphones, podium
00:45:29it was his fault

00:45:41I shouldn't have
00:45:43I was never a great shot
00:45:44he made the first move towards violence
00:45:46we did what we were trained to do
00:45:48I should have gone for her
00:45:49not the gun
00:45:50your bullet only grazed her leg
00:45:52it didn't kill her
00:45:53the knife did
00:45:53okay

00:48:00you look at Maddie's email again

00:53:08I love you
00:53:20and I have a nice life in an answer
00:53:32so
00:53:32What do you think?
00:53:59It's definitely not him.
00:54:00Back to square one?
00:54:05Steve, I don't understand.
00:54:06It's obviously personal, but we've gone through everyone in our life,
00:54:10and it's not any one of them.
00:54:11And even Nick.
00:54:12He was a long shot, but it's not him.
00:54:16There's only one person left in the family to check out.
00:54:19Sorry.
00:54:22Anything?
00:54:24No, it's just this Tony guy wondering when Brent is going to reschedule the meeting.
00:54:28It's almost midnight there.
00:54:29Why is this guy so desperate?
00:54:31How well do you know this guy?
00:54:33Not very well.
00:54:35Our assistant, she made the introduction between Tony and Brent,
00:54:38but I didn't have anything to do with it.
00:54:41Sounds fishy.
00:54:42No, Brent wouldn't go there.
00:54:44But he did.
00:54:47Steve, no.
00:54:48I think it's time we take a look into Brent's financial activities.
00:54:51I don't want this to be over.
00:55:06I know you've been dissing lately, but I love you so much.
00:55:12And you said that you would leave town!
00:55:15And she's still your wife, not me!
00:55:22Brent.
00:55:23You are going to have to hold up your end of the bargain.
00:55:32Or there's no telling what I'll do.
00:55:36I don't understand why he doesn't keep this stuff at the office.
00:55:50He's paranoid about our employees having access to too much information.
00:55:53It seems like access to information is necessary to run a business.
00:55:58When your own employee turns you into the FBI,
00:56:00you're going to take a few more precautions.
00:56:04And if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide.
00:56:07Spoken like a true cop.
00:56:11And he was never charged.
00:56:13Doesn't mean he didn't do it.
00:56:15Look, he hid some things from me,
00:56:18and he got involved with the wrong people,
00:56:20but I don't think he set out to do anything wrong.
00:56:24Okay.
00:56:26Steve, there's no way.
00:56:28Wait, what are these deposits from?
00:56:31It's payments from apartment buildings we manage in New York.
00:56:34I thought you guys just developed property.
00:56:35I convinced Brent that we needed more dependable streams of income
00:56:39in case our development deals failed.
00:56:41Okay.
00:56:42Very practical.
00:56:44Looks like a good decision, too.
00:56:45He's just breaking even at the moment.
00:56:46Yeah, that'll change once we get the funding for the new building.
00:56:49And who's handling that?
00:56:51Brent.
00:56:52He'd prefer I deal with all the property management
00:56:54since it was all my idea.
00:56:56Why is he trying to cut you out of everything?
00:56:58It sounds like he doesn't trust you,
00:57:00or he's hiding something.
00:57:02No, he trusts me.
00:57:04I have access to everything.
00:57:06Here, look.
00:57:08Here's our agreement with the investor.
00:57:12That seems like an awfully large percentage
00:57:14this investor gets when the building produces profit.
00:57:16No, it's just the standard.
00:57:20See?
00:57:20Whoa.
00:57:25Wait, somebody changed this after I saw it.
00:57:28This is not what we agreed on.
00:57:30Who's this company again?
00:57:33M&G Holdings.
00:57:35M&G Holdings.
00:57:35I don't know much about them.
00:57:38There's not much on the internet about them either.
00:57:41They don't even have a website.
00:57:42Let's see if there's any owners of the company listed.
00:57:48No.
00:57:49Nothing.
00:57:50Just a P.O. box in Delaware.
00:57:53It's not unusual.
00:57:58You know, my partner joined the FBI when I retired.
00:58:02Why don't I call her and see if she knows anything?
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:06But just don't say anything about Maddie.
00:58:07No, of course not.
00:58:12Change this.
00:58:16Yeah, Dana Cohen.
00:58:19Steve.
00:58:20She knows who it is.
00:58:22Yeah, have her call me back.
00:58:25Okay, thanks.
00:58:28She didn't call me back.
00:58:30I don't know what to tell you, Alice.
00:58:31Thanks, Dana.
00:59:00Yeah, yeah, sorry for calling so late.
00:59:02Say hi to Dan and the kids.
00:59:04Yep.
00:59:06Well?
00:59:07It's not good.
00:59:08Just tell me.
00:59:09It could be linked to Maddie.
00:59:10The feds have been looking at M&G Holdings for a while now.
00:59:13So they survey a lot of companies.
00:59:15There's all sorts of nefarious activities.
00:59:17Loan sharking, drugs, trafficking.
00:59:21Trafficking?
00:59:22With ties to the mafia.
00:59:24Run by...
00:59:26Tony Mattarelli.
00:59:27Mattarelli.
00:59:28Mm-hmm.
00:59:31Do you think Brent knew?
00:59:37I don't know.
00:59:37He couldn't have.
00:59:39Dana says they're investigating Brent as well.
00:59:41And she thinks he's been laundering money for them.
00:59:44No.
00:59:44I don't believe it.
00:59:46She has surveillance photos.
00:59:48She's going to email me.
00:59:49Oh, no.
00:59:50He promised me that he wouldn't do this again, that he wouldn't get involved with people like
00:59:55this again.
00:59:56You broke that promise, Alice.
00:59:58If he lied to me again, I am going to kill him.
01:00:00Listen.
01:00:00Listen to me.
01:00:02You need to just chill out for a minute and take a breath and get some food in you.
01:00:07Get some food?
01:00:08I need to find her.
01:00:15I'm sorry.
01:00:18It's okay.
01:00:19It's all right.
01:00:21It's all right.
01:00:21Okay.
01:00:23Okay.
01:00:25Come on.
01:00:26Come on.
01:00:27Come on.
01:00:27Come on.
01:00:57This is good.
01:01:06You keep very nice ingredients in your house.
01:01:09They have very expensive grocery stores in Beverly Hills.
01:01:13Apparently.
01:01:14I wonder if she's hungry.
01:01:18It's been almost 24 hours.
01:01:22Hey.
01:01:22We'll get her wherever she wants to eat when we find her, all right?
01:01:29Sorry.
01:01:34I've really missed you.
01:01:36We became pretty close to her in Lily's case.
01:01:40Did, um, did Brent ask you to cut off contact with me?
01:01:44I, uh, he did.
01:01:47Yeah, I figured.
01:01:49He always seemed to try and control you too much.
01:01:52Sometimes he disregards my feelings, but he's not controlling.
01:01:55But he stopped returning my calls.
01:01:59Yeah, not because he asked me to, but because I knew we were getting...
01:02:05Look.
01:02:06I would be risking my family and my marriage if I was to stay in contact with you.
01:02:18It's very noble of you.
01:02:19I'm sorry I ever hurt your feelings.
01:02:22No, no, no.
01:02:22Listen, it's understandable.
01:02:24Especially now that I know the reason.
01:02:26What did she say?
01:02:33Do you know where these were taken?
01:02:37Yeah.
01:02:38Victoria and Brent went to meet with the investment company last month.
01:02:47What?
01:02:50Alice Fitz.
01:02:56Joey's a liar and a cheater.
01:03:13Damn it!
01:03:26I can't believe this.
01:03:34He's cheated on me with our assistant.
01:03:38Who introduced him to this man with mafia connections.
01:03:43Who probably abducted our daughter in order to force Brent to go through with the deal.
01:03:47Or to sell her to some sex trafficker.
01:03:50Do you know where he is now?
01:03:53He should have landed by now.
01:03:56I'll tell him to meet this at the office.
01:03:59Yeah.
01:04:00Let's go.
01:04:13I don't care if you kill me.
01:04:14I am not going back in that room.
01:04:20It's you.
01:04:24What are we looking for?
01:04:25Anything having to do with Tony's company is a receipt, an invoice, something that has
01:04:29an address on the West Coast.
01:04:33You going to make him sleep in the office?
01:04:35I've done it plenty of times before when he's pulled all-nighters.
01:04:38Oh, God.
01:04:39That's why he didn't come home.
01:04:44Any idea where she is?
01:04:48What the hell, Alice?
01:04:49This is all your fault.
01:04:50You did this with you and your little girlfriend.
01:04:54What the hell are you talking about?
01:04:56Stop.
01:04:57I've seen photos of you kissing Victoria outside of Tony's office.
01:05:03Where did you see these photos?
01:05:06Steve has a contact in the FBI.
01:05:09Turns out Tony owns both the construction company and the investment company.
01:05:12But you knew that, didn't you?
01:05:15We are in debt, Alice.
01:05:17In order to make this project work and get us out, I had to make a lot of money.
01:05:21We are not in that much debt.
01:05:24I keep track of the books.
01:05:25I know exactly how much money goes in and out.
01:05:27No, you don't.
01:05:29I had to borrow a lot of money and open up credit cards that you don't know about.
01:05:33Why?
01:05:34To keep us afloat.
01:05:35To build the business.
01:05:36To provide for our family.
01:05:39How bad is it?
01:05:41Bad.
01:05:41We could have just declared bankruptcy.
01:05:43No.
01:05:44I was not going to fail for a second time.
01:05:47We're going to finish building this condo building and it's going to be a success.
01:05:50Yeah.
01:05:52With dirty money.
01:05:55You didn't think I tried to find funding from any other source?
01:05:58No one would touch me, Alice.
01:05:59Alice, I got a failed project, dead up to my eyeballs.
01:06:03Tony was the only person that was going to lend me any money.
01:06:06People like Tony prey upon people in a situation like yours.
01:06:09And by associating with him, you put your daughter in danger.
01:06:12Hey, Steve, lurking in the shadows, huh?
01:06:15I'm sure you're loving this man.
01:06:16Just ready to walk in here, make me look like the bad guy so you can save Alice.
01:06:19I don't need saving.
01:06:21Steve has been present in our relationship for a long time.
01:06:26Brent, Alice and I were only ever friends, all right?
01:06:31But you have feelings for my wife.
01:06:33Brent!
01:06:33No, I want to hear him say it.
01:06:36You have feelings for my wife, Steve?
01:06:39Well, there it is.
01:06:41At least now it's out in the open after all this time.
01:06:44None of this is important right now.
01:06:46Our daughter has been kidnapped.
01:06:48And Tony's cronies probably abducted her in order to force you to go through with the deal.
01:06:54Brent, is there any place they would have taken her?
01:06:56A West Coast office, a warehouse, anything, man.
01:06:59No, I don't know any of Tony's contacts out here.
01:07:02I think it's probably time we reach out to the police.
01:07:04We are not calling the police.
01:07:06Alice, it's been 24 hours.
01:07:08We don't have the skills or the resources to deal with Tony's people.
01:07:12All right?
01:07:12Despite Steve over there playing cops and robbers.
01:07:14Whoever took her said not to call the police.
01:07:16And I am not letting what happened to Lily happen to her.
01:07:19At some point, someone is going to realize she is gone.
01:07:22How are we going to explain that?
01:07:24Alice called the school and told them she was sick.
01:07:26I forgot to call them.
01:07:29But Joss said the secretary told them she was sick.
01:07:31No, I didn't call them.
01:07:33And her friend knew she was sick, too.
01:07:36Why would you do that?
01:07:39Two reasons, really.
01:07:41First, to test your father's loyalty to me.
01:07:44There's loyalty to you, but you're the one who works for him.
01:07:47His loyalty to me personally, not professionally.
01:07:50I don't understand.
01:07:52I needed to see who he would run to if something went wrong.
01:07:57You see, your father and I have been having an affair for over two years.
01:08:01I don't believe you.
01:08:03My dad would never cheat on my mom.
01:08:06He promised me he was going to leave your mother for me.
01:08:08And that we would continue to build this business together.
01:08:11He loves my mom and would never leave her.
01:08:16But lately, he's been distant.
01:08:20Canceling dates.
01:08:23Spending more time with your mother.
01:08:25And cutting me out of meetings.
01:08:27He'd never leave me either.
01:08:29And we were supposed to go to New York together.
01:08:34And meet with Tony about the building and have a romantic trip.
01:08:37But he canceled.
01:08:38So, I decided to conduct a little experiment.
01:08:47If something traumatic in his life happened, say, his daughter was abducted.
01:08:52Who would he run to for comfort?
01:08:54Me or Alice?
01:08:57That's sick.
01:08:58So, I'd have confirmation once and for all.
01:09:01And if he went to your mother instead of me, I'd be in the perfect position to hurt them very easily.
01:09:11She wouldn't do this.
01:09:13No, it's her.
01:09:14I know it's her.
01:09:15She's the only person that I told that Maddie was sick.
01:09:17Maybe there's something on her computer.
01:09:19Look for anything.
01:09:20Something.
01:09:20We need to call the police.
01:09:21Tell them what happened and let them take it from here.
01:09:24Password detected.
01:09:25Would she keep her at her home?
01:09:26No, she lives with two roommates.
01:09:28There's no privacy there.
01:09:29And she wouldn't do it.
01:09:32Do you have a key for this?
01:09:34Somewhere, yeah.
01:09:35And when we open it up and see there's nothing in there, we're calling the police.
01:09:37Just give me the key.
01:09:41You all right?
01:09:44Do you think we should call the police?
01:09:46The longer she's gone, the less likely we'll recover her alive.
01:09:50You know this better than me.
01:09:52You're the negotiator.
01:09:53I know.
01:09:55I just need to hear from you.
01:09:56So we agree?
01:09:59We're going to call the police?
01:10:01Yeah.
01:10:01We agree.
01:10:03Why are you still here?
01:10:10It's my shoe.
01:10:12Shoe's wearing this.
01:10:13Uh, don't tell Tony for obvious reasons.
01:10:21I don't want Brent to find out.
01:10:23Yeah, I'll be there in 30 with the merchandise.
01:10:26You're selling me?
01:10:27What choice do I have?
01:10:30What choice do I have?
01:10:31You ruined my perfect plan.
01:10:33When your father came to me for comfort, I was going to dump you in the canyons for some early morning hikers to find.
01:10:38But you had to go and pull off my mask.
01:10:40No.
01:10:41You aren't taking me anywhere.
01:10:43I didn't know until I saw your face.
01:10:44But this is my parents' office building.
01:10:46One step closer and I'm screaming.
01:10:49Everyone's gone home for the day.
01:10:51And I bribed the security guard.
01:10:53Men will do anything if you wear the right outfit.
01:10:56Come on.
01:10:57Help!
01:10:58Help!
01:11:00Victoria?
01:11:02Victoria?
01:11:03Pick up the phone, please.
01:11:05Where the hell are you, Victoria?
01:11:09I'm sorry to call so late.
01:11:10It's just that she has these papers that I need tonight.
01:11:15Okay.
01:11:17No, she's not there.
01:11:20Hey, Cheryl.
01:11:21Thanks for calling back.
01:11:22Any luck tracking the phone?
01:11:25No worries.
01:11:26Thanks for checking.
01:11:28She must have disabled the GPS.
01:11:30She's got to be using a burner.
01:11:33Brent, where would she keep her?
01:11:35I don't know.
01:11:38There has to be some place that you can think of.
01:11:43I can't think of any place right now.
01:11:46Maybe some place you guys kind of went together, private and secluded.
01:11:50We were having an affair, Steve.
01:11:51Everywhere we went was private and secluded.
01:11:53We used to sneak off at lunch to a storage room in the basement.
01:12:03Let's go.
01:12:04Oh.
01:12:05I told you nobody's coming.
01:12:07My mom will.
01:12:08She'll find me and you're going to jail.
01:12:12You know, you're a handful.
01:12:13Well, I don't think I want you for a step-to-door after all.
01:12:24Too late, Brent.
01:12:25You landed over an hour ago.
01:12:28You made your choice.
01:12:30Now at least I'll make some money off of your brat.
01:12:53Where is this room?
01:12:54She's right here. She's right here.
01:12:56She's not in here.
01:12:58They were here.
01:12:59What?
01:13:00They were here!
01:13:11Maddie!
01:13:12Maddie!
01:13:13Come back!
01:13:14Stay back.
01:13:16Please.
01:13:18Let her go.
01:13:20I don't think so, Alice.
01:13:24Why are you doing this?
01:13:26Why?
01:13:27Well, let's see.
01:13:29You canceled how many dates recently?
01:13:31I could tell what was happening, Brent.
01:13:35I said stay back.
01:13:37What was happening, Victoria?
01:13:39You were breaking up with me.
01:13:41You promised me that you would leave Alice for me
01:13:44and that we would go on and build a life and this business together.
01:13:48And you're going back on your word.
01:13:51I'm not.
01:13:52He isn't.
01:13:54He told me before he left for New York that he was leaving me.
01:13:57You're both liars!
01:13:58Victoria!
01:13:59Victoria, listen to me.
01:14:00There's no way out of this.
01:14:02Just calm down.
01:14:04Calm down.
01:14:05Put the knife down.
01:14:08You can do it.
01:14:09Everything's going to be fine.
01:14:12Okay?
01:14:13Just please.
01:14:15Just let her go.
01:14:17And everything will be okay.
01:14:19No.
01:14:20This was your test, see?
01:14:23If something went wrong, who would you run to?
01:14:25Me or Alice?
01:14:29Don't hurt my daughter, Victoria.
01:14:30This is your test.
01:14:32And you failed.
01:14:34And now I'm going to hurt you like you hurt me.
01:14:37I'd love to go.
01:14:38I told you I was coming for my girl.
01:14:40What time did you arrive?
01:14:41I got here early in the morning.
01:14:42How early?
01:14:43It's early.
01:14:44It's early.
01:14:457am.
01:14:46I knew you'd find me.
01:14:47Maddie, I'd go to the ends of the earth to save you.
01:14:48This is all my fault.
01:14:49I should have listened.
01:14:50No!
01:14:51You were right.
01:14:52I'm way too overprotective of you.
01:14:53I should have trusted that you.
01:14:54You're right.
01:14:55You're right.
01:14:56No.
01:14:57You were right.
01:14:59I'm way too overprotective of you.
01:15:00I should have trusted you.
01:15:02You were right.
01:15:13I'm way too overprotective of you.
01:15:14I should have trusted you.
01:15:16you more. Yeah, but I lied and snuck out to go to the party. You did. But I heard you left the
01:15:20party when they started drinking. You can make the right decisions. But if you had known where
01:15:25I was, you would have known something was wrong when I didn't come home. I always say no when
01:15:29you want to do something that makes me nervous. But I want you to feel like you can tell me the
01:15:34truth no matter what I'm feeling. I will from now on. I promise. Then I promise to trust your
01:15:39decisions. I mean, after all, you're nearly an adult. Yeah, but I still need my mom.
01:15:49Lisa, John, take out our statements so we can go on now. Okay. All right, let's get a nice
01:15:53bath, cleaned up, some food. Does that sound good? Yeah. How could you do that to mom? Maddie,
01:16:00I'm sorry. I don't know what to say other than that I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, and I just love
01:16:07you guys both so much. Okay. All I care about right now is that Maddie gets home where she
01:16:12belongs. All right? I'll deal with all that later. All right. All right.
01:16:21Did she say anything? Lunch up.
01:16:30You're a real piece of work, Victoria.
01:16:31Yeah. You got mad. All right, bring her down the station, all right?
01:16:40Wow. What a crazy day. Yeah.
01:16:47I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:16:49It's all you, Alice. You saved her.
01:16:55Oh, Victoria, you're fired.
01:17:01Hey. You want these photos?
01:17:25Lawyer said we had to turn over everything.
01:17:27I seriously doubt the FBI is going to want our family pictures.
01:17:40Sorry to see it go.
01:17:42Not as sorry as I am.
01:17:45For everything.
01:17:48I know you are, Brent.
01:17:52How's Maddie coping?
01:17:52She's good.
01:17:56I think this experience has made her stronger, in a way.
01:18:01My apartment will be ready this weekend.
01:18:02You think it'd be okay if she came over and spent a little time with me?
01:18:05If she wants.
01:18:07Well, she wanted me to check with you first and assure you that it was safe over there,
01:18:10considering that my past behavior put our family in danger.
01:18:15Just promise me that she won't get kidnapped, and I'll agree.
01:18:17When's your hearing?
01:18:24Next week.
01:18:26Will you be there?
01:18:27I'll think about it.
01:18:30What did your lawyer say about jail time?
01:18:33He said I could probably avoid it.
01:18:35Because no money had actually exchanged hands yet?
01:18:37That's good.
01:18:39For Maddie's sake.
01:18:44I filed this morning.
01:18:47I'm not going to be vindictive and go after everything you have.
01:18:53I want it to be a fair split.
01:18:56My priority is the health and happiness of our daughter.
01:18:59I appreciate that, Alice.
01:19:01It's more than I deserve.
01:19:06Hey.
01:19:07You ready?
01:19:08Yeah, let me just grab my purse.
01:19:10All right.
01:19:14How's it going, Brent?
01:19:15You know, it's been better.
01:19:18Just keep your head up, man.
01:19:19Things will improve.
01:19:21Thanks for the words, Steve.
01:19:23You know, I want you to know, um...
01:19:26I was telling the truth.
01:19:28About Alice and I.
01:19:29I know.
01:19:31I was just jealous.
01:19:35Hey, listen.
01:19:36If I end up going to prison, will you watch my girls for me?
01:19:41Yeah, man.
01:19:42I'll definitely do that.
01:19:45Okay, you ready?
01:19:46Yeah.
01:19:48See you later, Brent.
01:19:50See ya.
01:19:50So where do you want to go?
01:19:52Oh, I don't know.
01:19:53Maybe the coffee shop next door?
01:19:56Or do you think they'll remember that we wrapped up some kid in their bathroom?
01:19:58Yeah.
01:20:05Yeah.
01:20:06We had a lot of good memories here.
01:20:08But the new house is cute.
01:20:11It's kind of small, though.
01:20:13Oh.
01:20:13We don't need a house this big.
01:20:16And with the business gone, it's a little much.
01:20:19So what are you going to do now?
01:20:20Well, I think it's time for a new adventure.
01:20:25Like what?
01:20:27I don't know.
01:20:29There's plenty of possibilities.
01:20:32And do any of the possibilities include steam?
01:20:38Maybe.
01:20:40We'll see how that goes.
01:20:42I like him.
01:20:44You do?
01:20:45So, speaking of new adventures, can I go to a party tonight at Hunter's?
01:20:52Absolutely not.
01:20:53Mom!
01:20:54No, you have to stay in and finish that poem so you can make the filing deadline.
01:20:59Really?
01:20:59Yes, really.
01:21:00Oh, my God, Mom.
01:21:03It's going to be hard for me to let you go.
01:21:05Mom, you know, we could take a trip to New York to check out the security of the dorm.
01:21:09We can do that.
01:21:11And we need to have a weekly call scheduled so that you know that I'm doing okay.
01:21:16Okay!
01:21:17And, Mom, maybe you could just, like, text me every night before I go to bed so that you
01:21:20know I'm home?
01:21:21Okay, I think you're going a little overboard.
01:21:23No, but, Mom, there are frat parties.
01:21:25You need to periodically remind me about the dangers of underage drinking.
01:21:28Oh, boy.
01:21:29I created a monster.
01:21:30Don't worry about the dangers of underage drinking.
01:21:43Just live in the moment you have.
01:21:47Make me stay like it is your life.
01:21:51That makes me stay like the driver.
01:22:09They're going to try.
01:22:12We are going to stay.
