00:01:41Yeah
00:01:42But she was on the phone with this girl, Nicolette
00:01:44Who's got the phone?
00:01:46I have Brooke's phone
00:01:47Good
00:01:47We'll use it to track the other girl
00:01:49and see what she's up to
00:01:50Keep me posted

00:02:12Thank you
00:02:30Hi there
00:02:30Have you seen this girl?
00:02:33Okay
00:02:33She's a really good friend of mine
00:02:35Her name's Brooke Summers
00:02:36If you happen to see her
00:02:37then can you please contact this number at the bottom?
00:02:40Thank you
00:02:42Hi
00:02:43I was just wondering if you've seen this girl
00:02:46She's been missing for a couple days
00:02:50Sorry to interrupt
00:02:51Have you seen this girl?
00:02:53She's a really good friend of mine
00:02:55She's been missing for a couple days
00:02:56If you happen to see her
00:02:57can you just contact me
00:02:58Her name is Brooke Summers
00:03:00Where are you now?
00:03:01I've been tracking the girl she was trying to call
00:03:02Good
00:03:03And you found her?
00:03:04She's actively looking for Brooke
00:03:06We can't have her mess with the plan
00:03:08You need to stop this
00:03:09I understand what needs to be done
00:03:21Sorry, I didn't see you
00:03:32Oh, uh
00:03:34Have you seen this girl?
00:03:40Uh, no
00:03:41Sorry
00:04:01You think this is it?
00:04:02Finally?
00:04:03I think we have a good shot
00:04:05I mean, that had to be morning sickness
00:04:09It's time
00:04:16I mean, it was just that bad Thai food from last night
00:04:20Yeah
00:04:21Mark, wait
00:04:23Let's talk about this
00:04:25It's my fault
00:04:26We both know it
00:04:28Hey
00:04:29It's no one's fault
00:04:34So
00:04:36How do you feel about finally starting
00:04:39your new dream job?
00:04:41I'm kind of anxious about having to start
00:04:42in the middle of the school year
00:04:44Look
00:04:46Don't stress
00:04:48You're going to be
00:04:50amazing
00:05:12Callie
00:05:12You talked to Nicolette today?
00:05:14She's not answering my texts
00:05:15and she's supposed to be home by now
00:05:17No
00:05:17No, maybe she stayed late at school for tutoring though
00:05:20The school called
00:05:21She was absent for most of the day
00:05:25As soon as you hear from Nicolette
00:05:28Tell her I want to speak with her
00:05:43Nicolette
00:05:45Nicolette, sweetie
00:05:46We talked about this
00:05:48You can't skip school
00:05:50You're going to end up getting a suspension if you do
00:05:52I'm not going to stop until I find out what happened to Brooke
00:05:54I don't care what it takes
00:05:56If you miss class again
00:05:58Unexcused
00:05:59The principal is going to be on the phone with me
00:06:01As long as you live here
00:06:04I'm responsible for you
00:06:07Okay
00:06:18I still feel so guilty that I missed her call, Vanessa
00:06:23I can't shake the feeling that something horrible's happened to Brooke
00:06:27Brooke has never given up on me since we were 12
00:06:31I'm not going to give up on her
00:06:33She's been gone for three days
00:06:35Well then she'll probably turn up any time now
00:06:38Remember when she disappeared from the group home
00:06:39Only to find out she ran out for Trent to be at his family's place in Idaho
00:06:42You're worried over nothing
00:06:43I know, but this time it just feels different
00:06:46Maybe Trey caught up with her as soon as she got here
00:06:49I mean, she's, well, nine months pregnant by now
00:06:52Where would she go?
00:07:00You okay?
00:07:04Yeah, I, um, I'm fine, it's nothing
00:07:09Let's just go inside
00:07:10So, Sandy, you ready for this?
00:07:12As ready as I'll ever be, Madeline
00:07:14Are you regretting this change of career yet?
00:07:16Mr. Days is an accountant
00:07:20What's this?
00:07:23Oh, Brooke Summers was a student who disappeared months ago
00:07:26Some of the students had put those up
00:07:28But then the girl calls her friends after three weeks
00:07:30To let them know that she actually ran off with a boyfriend
00:07:34Such a shame
00:07:35Brooke had lots of potential
00:07:39Everyone take a seat, please
00:07:47Oh, tardy on the new teacher's first day, I see
00:07:50Yeah, sorry
00:07:51Traffic
00:07:52You know how it is
00:07:53Jake Hamilton
00:07:55Here
00:07:58Welcome, everyone
00:08:00I'm Ms. Redling
00:08:01I'll be taking over for Ms. Jenkins' 11th grade English classes
00:08:06I assume everyone kept up with the readings
00:08:08Assigned by Ms. Jenkins before she left
00:08:11And are ready to talk about Fitzgerald's classic
00:08:14The Great Gatsby
00:08:17Who can tell me the name of the narrator of the novel?
00:08:27In the back
00:08:31What's your name?
00:08:33It's Nicolette
00:08:34Well, Nicolette, you know the school's policy on cell phones in class
00:08:37Correct?
00:08:41Phone, please
00:08:42You can get it at the end of the day in the office
00:08:52Oh TW Empire
00:08:54You can get it at the end of the day in the office
00:08:55Oh life
00:09:04Wait, what's next?
00:09:05Oh Lord, what's next?
00:09:08MatYbox
00:09:08You can get it by the side of the other
00:09:10See this
00:09:11Be все
00:09:12You can get it on your front of the internet
00:09:25There you are.
00:09:27You missed our entire first class.
00:09:29Yeah, okay, lady.
00:09:30I've got bigger fish to fry.
00:09:32Are you okay?
00:09:34You don't look well.
00:09:35Is it a stomach bug or the flu?
00:09:37Don't worry about it.
00:09:39Or is it something else?
00:09:44Can I get you anything?
00:09:46Can you leave me alone?
00:09:48I'll be back this afternoon for the nurse.
00:09:50Your stuff is still in the classroom on my desk.
00:09:52Okay.
00:09:53I'll go get it.
00:10:15Please, help.
00:10:16The baby's coming.
00:10:18I need you to keep breathing, honey.
00:10:19Not yet, okay?
00:10:22I changed my mind.
00:10:24I want to keep my baby.
00:10:26That is not an option, Brooke.
00:10:28Not now.
00:10:29You made an agreement.
00:10:31I'll go to the police.
00:10:32I'll tell them what you do here.
00:10:40I'll go to the police.
00:10:49Excuse me, Nicolette.
00:10:52What do you want this time?
00:10:54Are you feeling any better?
00:10:56I'm fine.
00:10:58It's none of your business.
00:10:59Go be a good doer somewhere else.
00:11:02Nicolette.
00:11:04If you need someone to talk to you about your possible situation,
00:11:09I'm here.
00:11:12Listen, Miss Suburbia,
00:11:14I highly doubt you have any clue of what I'm going through right now.
00:11:25That one can be a challenge.
00:11:27Smart, but not focused, to say the least.
00:11:29Kind of like I was at her age.
00:11:31No, and she's the one whose friend went missing, too.
00:11:33There's always a lot going on with her.
00:11:35So don't take it personally.
00:11:53Where's my baby?
00:11:56Please don't do this.
00:11:58The boss has already given her to a new couple.
00:12:06I don't want your money.
00:12:08Just my baby.
00:12:10I should have never come back here.
00:12:12You are going to dig yourself into a grave, young lady,
00:12:15if you don't get into line.
00:12:18You hear me?
00:12:19Yes.
00:12:22You hear me?
00:12:33So what are you going to do if you are pregnant?
00:12:35I don't know.
00:12:37I thought that we were careful.
00:12:39Famous last words, man.
00:12:41Nothing in this world is 100%.
00:12:43When we first broke, now maybe you.
00:12:45I might just stay celibate until I'm 40.
00:12:49I mean, I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:12:52I finally had, like, a plan.
00:12:55Go to nursing school.
00:12:57Have a life of my own, finally.
00:13:00Is it, uh...
00:13:02Jake's?
00:13:04Yeah.
00:13:05And he's barely talked to me since.
00:13:08Yeah.
00:13:09Oh.
00:13:11Speaking of.
00:13:12I'm going to go talk to him.
00:13:13I'll be back.
00:13:15Jake.
00:13:16Jake, I need to talk to you.
00:13:18I didn't think we had anything else to talk about, Nicolette.
00:13:20We've seen someone else now.
00:13:21I know.
00:13:21I heard the gossip.
00:13:22You're dating that new girl from the pricey private school uptown, right?
00:13:28Listen, it's nothing against you.
00:13:29It's just...
00:13:30Things just didn't work out.
00:13:33Do you want to know why I was sick this morning in class?
00:13:37I don't care.
00:13:37It's not my business.
00:13:45No, you're lying, right?
00:13:49You're joking.
00:13:51Well, I don't know yet.
00:13:53But if I am...
00:13:57Well, you're lying.
00:13:59I don't have time for this.
00:14:02I don't have time for this.
00:14:21You need to eat and hydrate if you're going to get your energy back.
00:14:26The boss says she'll buy you a bus ticket to Los Angeles.
00:14:29Isn't that nice?
00:14:31You know, you can take that money that she gave you and start over with a brand new life.
00:14:38She even knows someone who can give a job to a young, pretty girl like yourself.
00:14:47You have no idea how lucky you really are.
00:15:01Please, can you get it for me?
00:15:04I don't have the strength.
00:15:32I don't have the strength for this time.
00:15:35Get back here!
00:16:01Where the hell's the girl?
00:16:02She escaped.
00:16:03She took my phone.
00:16:06Where'd she go?
00:16:07I don't know.
00:16:08Give me your phone.
00:16:09I can track mine if she tries to use it.
00:16:22I can't believe you're still here.
00:16:24It's almost seven.
00:16:25I'm just trying to get as much prep work done as I can.
00:16:29Get out of here.
00:16:30The rest can wait till tomorrow, I promise.
00:16:33Good night.
00:16:45You're still here?
00:16:47School ended hours ago.
00:16:49Great observation, Sherlock.
00:16:52Well, if the nurse isn't here by now...
00:16:54Yeah, I know.
00:16:55The office told me that she had to come by to drop something off before the school locked up at
00:17:00the end of the day.
00:17:02I probably shouldn't do this.
00:17:06But I have a master key.
00:17:08I have a master key.
00:17:33You're in luck.
00:17:34Here you go.
00:17:36She keeps it just under the counter.
00:17:38I'm sure she won't mind if you take one.
00:17:40Why are you helping me?
00:17:42Look, I know we don't know each other very well, but...
00:17:45No, you don't know me at all.
00:17:46I remember what it's like to be a teen.
00:17:50Spare me.
00:17:51I hate it when adults say that they remember what it was like when they were my age.
00:17:55When you have no idea what I've been through.
00:18:03Look, I appreciate everything that you've done for me, okay?
00:18:08It's just I can take it from here.
00:18:13Nicolette.
00:18:42Are you okay?
00:18:47I took a pregnancy test and it's positive.
00:18:53I might have some insight into your situation, you know.
00:18:56How?
00:18:59I got pregnant when I was 16.
00:19:04Really?
00:19:06It's true.
00:19:07I had just finished my sophomore year and my boyfriend and I, well, we weren't careful.
00:19:15And my parents, well, let's just say they were not thrilled.
00:19:22They were worried about keeping up appearances because of my father's job.
00:19:27So they sent me across the country to live with my grandparents.
00:19:30Told everybody I was studying in Europe.
00:19:36I put the baby up for adoption.
00:19:40I didn't even get a chance to hold her.
00:19:43I couldn't handle it at the time.
00:19:47And then when I came back, my parents and I just never spoke about it.
00:19:52Their relationship has been distant ever since.
00:19:56So I may be Miss Suburbia, but I might have some idea of what you're going through.
00:20:03Maybe.
00:20:03Maybe.
00:20:08I have to head home.
00:20:13Remember my offer.
00:20:15If you need someone to talk to.
00:20:25You...
00:20:35Hello?
00:20:35Nicola, it's me.
00:20:36Oh my God, Brooke?
00:20:38Okay, listen carefully.
00:20:39I don't have much time.
00:20:40There's this lost me, Abby.
00:20:41And one's just after me.
00:20:42It only needs nothing.
00:20:44Okay, meet me at our spot in twenty minutes.
00:20:45obtain, wait, Brooke!
00:20:46Where are you?
00:20:46Nicolette!
00:20:49Brooke!
00:20:52Brooke!
00:21:21Brooke!
00:21:23Watch out!
00:21:24Brooke!
00:21:24Ah!
00:21:26Ah!
00:21:27Ah!
00:21:27Ah!
00:21:28Ah!
00:21:31Ah!
00:21:33Ah!
00:21:48You all right?
00:21:58Nicolette.
00:21:59Oh, my God, are you okay?
00:22:01Hardly.
00:22:03We'll talk more.
00:22:04Give me a call if you remember anything new, day or night, okay?
00:22:08Here's my card.
00:22:16I still can't process all that's happened.
00:22:19I'm Detective Holmes with Homicide.
00:22:23Do you think what happened to Brooke wasn't an accident?
00:22:27According to Nicolette, the car that struck her friend was aiming right for her.
00:22:32Did Nicolette see who was driving?
00:22:35She couldn't recall any identifying features on the driver.
00:22:39We'll be back.
00:22:40She might remember details later.
00:22:48Hey, where you been?
00:22:50Got the history notes from class?
00:23:09Brooke's dead?
00:23:10What?
00:23:31And then, in my fourth period class, two boys decided to fight over the same girl.
00:23:38I swear, so much in this job has nothing to do with actually teaching English.
00:23:45You can do anything you set your mind to.
00:23:48And you've been wanting to teach for years now.
00:23:52You'll start getting a hang of this whole classroom management thing.
00:23:56Well, I hope you're right.
00:23:57I am.
00:24:00You know my student, Nicolette, the one I told you I was worried about?
00:24:04Yeah.
00:24:05Well, it turns out she's pregnant.
00:24:09I actually went into the nurse's office to get her a test.
00:24:13I just hope she talks to me if she needs someone to lean on.
00:24:18She's quite the firecracker.
00:24:21I have some news on my end.
00:24:23What is it?
00:24:25Our new VP at work, Gil, asked me to travel to Charleston for a few weeks.
00:24:32Construction on a new hotel, there's a mess, and he wants me to oversee things, so I have to leave
00:24:36tomorrow morning.
00:24:39A few weeks?
00:24:40Yes, I know I'm not thrilled about it either, but I need Gil on my side if I want to
00:24:45move out.
00:24:47I understand.
00:24:49I'll make it up to you when I come back.
00:24:52I promise.
00:24:55You better.
00:25:03Why couldn't she have just kept her mouth shut?
00:25:07You're lucky I found her at all.
00:25:12Did we really have to kill her?
00:25:22I just can't stop thinking about her.
00:25:26I'm so sorry about Brooke Nicolette.
00:25:30She was always really nice to me.
00:25:36What could have happened to Brooke's baby, though?
00:25:38It doesn't make any sense.
00:25:48It's Rachel. What does she want now?
00:25:49She just wants to make sure you're okay. She's worried about you.
00:25:52Yeah, it's a little too late, don't you think?
00:26:05Hi, Nicolette.
00:26:07Why don't you have a seat?
00:26:13I can't imagine what you've been through.
00:26:16Brooke was a great girl.
00:26:17And I know you two were close.
00:26:21I want you to know that you can come and talk to me anytime you need to.
00:26:26Stress can take a toll.
00:26:28And I've heard through the grapevine that you've been waking up sick the past few mornings.
00:26:32Do we really have to talk about this now?
00:26:35Because I'm pretty messed up after what I just saw.
00:26:38I know, sweetie.
00:26:39But if you've found yourself in a delicate situation, you can come to me for help.
00:26:45That's why I'm here.
00:26:46No one can help me with this.
00:26:48I have seen a lot in my years here, Nicolette.
00:26:52And I know when the signs are pointing to one of my girls being pregnant.
00:26:58I knew it about Brooke too.
00:27:02Are you pregnant?
00:27:09Well, if you are, I'd like to introduce you to someone who I think can assist.
00:27:15She's an amazing woman who's worked with girls in the past in a similar dilemma.
00:27:21After you've taken the time to process your grief about Brooke, of course.
00:27:28I'll make it through.
00:27:32I always do.
00:27:46Nothing as fun as an early morning flight.
00:27:49You got everything?
00:27:50Do you remember clean socks?
00:27:51Oh, damn.
00:27:52See, I knew I forgot something.
00:27:55Yes, babe.
00:27:56I remembered clean socks.
00:27:57Well, I had to ask, you know, after that meeting you had in San Francisco where you...
00:28:02Didn't realize I forgot clean socks.
00:28:04Mm-hmm.
00:28:04Ten minutes before going to a meeting?
00:28:06Yes.
00:28:06Yes.
00:28:09I'll miss you.
00:28:10I hate leaving you the first week of your new job.
00:28:13I'll be fine.
00:28:15All right.
00:28:23Mark.
00:28:24Yeah?
00:28:26I had a thought on my run.
00:28:29Maybe we can talk to that IVF specialist that your coworker used.
00:28:32I mean, it's worth a shot just to get some information about it, right?
00:28:37Okay.
00:28:38Um, how about we talk about that when I come back?
00:28:41Okay.
00:28:52Tammy!
00:28:52Tammy!
00:28:55Ugh.
00:28:56Sequence.
00:29:00You don't have to talk to him if you don't want to.
00:29:07I'll be right back.
00:29:15I'll be right back.
00:29:17So, now you want to talk.
00:29:19Look, I just heard about Brooke.
00:29:22Is it true that you saw when she got hit by a car?
00:29:26Yeah.
00:29:27It's true.
00:29:29I'm sorry to hear that.
00:29:33What do you want, Jake?
00:29:36I just have to know, are you...
00:29:38Pregnant?
00:29:40Yeah.
00:29:41I'm pregnant.
00:29:42Please just lower your voice for me.
00:29:44Go to hell, Jake.
00:29:47Please.
00:29:49Talk to my mom about you maybe being...
00:29:52Pregnant.
00:29:53You did.
00:29:55Well, I can't imagine what she said.
00:29:57She's not really a big fan of mine.
00:29:59Right?
00:30:00Sorry that you got the girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
00:30:03Pregnant, rich boy.
00:30:05She wants to make an arrangement.
00:30:07Okay?
00:30:09Just...
00:30:09All you have to do is sign a couple documents that her lawyer draws up and we'll be good.
00:30:12What do you mean?
00:30:13An arrangement?
00:30:17It's money, Nicolette.
00:30:19To do whatever option you wanna do.
00:30:24So you really think that throwing money at the situation is gonna make things better?
00:30:27It's gonna solve things?
00:30:28No, but...
00:30:29This is your kid.
00:30:34Sorry, it's the best I can do right now.
00:30:47According to her social worker, Brooke last lived here five months ago. Is that correct?
00:30:53Yes.
00:30:54From what I understand, she ran off with her boyfriend.
00:30:58I think the girl said his name was Trent.
00:31:01We'll look into her boyfriend.
00:31:04She turned 18.
00:31:07So...
00:31:08There wasn't anything we could do when she left.
00:31:12It's unfortunate, but...
00:31:15Sometimes our girls don't make the best decisions.
00:31:19One thing we didn't expect is we found an envelope with a large amount of cash on her body.
00:31:24Oh, really?
00:31:25We're still unsure how a girl in her situation would have that much cash on her.
00:31:29beyond her situation.
00:31:47Nicolette, do you have a second?
00:31:51The girl who died, Brooke.
00:31:55She was your friend, wasn't she?
00:32:00I'm so sorry.
00:32:03Every time I close my eyes, I just...
00:32:06see the car heading straight towards Brooke.
00:32:10And between that and having my life upended,
00:32:13finding out that I'm pregnant...
00:32:17I've been living at a depressing group home for two years.
00:32:19What can I do with a child?
00:32:21What do I have to offer it?
00:32:23What about your family?
00:32:26I've never met my dad.
00:32:28And my mom...
00:32:31There were lots of men.
00:32:34She got addicted to prescription pain medication.
00:32:39Then CPS came by once one of the neighbors found out that, um,
00:32:44I'd been spending most of my nights alone.
00:32:48So I had nowhere else to go.
00:32:50It's how I ended up at the group home.
00:32:52I'm so sorry, Nicolette.
00:32:55Someone your age should never have to go through something like that.
00:32:58Yeah, well, it's just my reality.
00:33:05Do, um...
00:33:07Do you ever think about the baby that you put up for adoption?
00:33:12Every day?
00:33:15But I have no doubt I made the right decision for my child.
00:33:20I knew I was not ready to be a mother.
00:33:25Is that what you're thinking for your child? Adoption?
00:33:28Maybe.
00:33:29Can I give you some advice?
00:33:33Take your time with this decision, okay?
00:33:37Don't rush into it.
00:33:39I probably would have chosen adoption regardless, but...
00:33:42I wish I had taken more time to come to that conclusion.
00:33:47If you ever need to talk about it, or anything, let me know, okay?
00:33:55Yeah.
00:33:57Thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
00:34:02A lot of adults just see me as a problem that...
00:34:05they need to deal with.
00:34:07I guess that's why I act the way that I do.
00:34:10I mean...
00:34:11Why try to be different or better?
00:34:14If everyone has low expectations for you anyways.
00:34:17Oh, honey.
00:34:19You are a great kid.
00:34:21Who's just in a tough situation, okay?
00:34:24Don't let it define the rest of your life.
00:34:29My friend...
00:34:31Brooke...
00:34:31She ran away just after she got pregnant.
00:34:34And then showed up back in town five months later, where she died.
00:34:40What happened to the baby?
00:34:41I don't know.
00:34:43But she definitely wasn't pregnant anymore when I saw her.
00:34:48Let me see your phone.
00:34:51Why?
00:34:52Just trust me.
00:35:01I'm gonna put in my number.
00:35:03You can call me anytime, okay?
00:35:08I hope they find out what happened to your friend.
00:35:15Oh, no.
00:35:16Are you okay?
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:22I'm just realizing that, um...
00:35:27Morning sickness happens.
00:35:29It can hit you 24-7.
00:35:33I'll make you a deal.
00:35:36Both the group home and the drugstore are on my way home.
00:35:41If you promise to study for your Great Gatsby quiz,
00:35:46I'll bring you something to deal with your morning sickness.
00:35:54Sometimes people just want to be nice, Nicolette.
00:36:08Or you can't be lying on the phone in the dorms.
00:36:10You just left out of my office overseas.
00:36:12Here she is.
00:36:14Nicolette.
00:36:15Could I see you in my office please?
00:36:18Just for a minute.
00:36:23Here she is.
00:36:24Nicolette.
00:36:26I am Abigail. I've so been looking forward to meeting you.
00:36:29And I am really sorry to hear about what happened to your friend.
00:36:34Why don't I give you two some alone time so you can get acquainted?
00:36:38Would that be all right with you, Nicolette?
00:36:44Well, then. I'll be outside.
00:36:47Thank you, Rachel, for this and everything you do for all the girls.
00:36:53Now, Nicolette.
00:36:56Rachel told me that you recently found out you're pregnant.
00:37:00I know that this can be a very scary and unsettling time for you, especially a girl your age.
00:37:08What's your deal?
00:37:11What do you want?
00:37:13I like that. Straight to business.
00:37:17I happen to run one of the most prestigious private adoption agencies in the state.
00:37:23And our prospective parents are amazingly pedigreed.
00:37:27They are highly educated, professional, and very well-off.
00:37:30They're willing to compensate.
00:37:32Are you saying that you want to sell my baby?
00:37:34That would be illegal.
00:37:38But it is quite common and legal for many parents to pay for the living expenses or to put together
00:37:46a little trust fund for your college expenses.
00:37:48You see, private adoption is not just a loving choice for your baby, but it's a good choice to carve
00:37:55a positive path forward for you.
00:37:58So, would you mind if we go over the particulars together?
00:38:06So, this is a lot to take in, and I am sure that you will have many questions.
00:38:14I expect that, and that is perfectly normal.
00:38:16Well, this has my cell phone number on it.
00:38:20You can call me anytime, and trust me when I tell you, you are making the best choice when you're
00:38:26considering adoption for your child.
00:38:33How are things going?
00:38:34Well, I think she has a lot to consider, but Nicolette is a smart girl.
00:38:54Hi.
00:38:56Hi.
00:39:00Here you go.
00:39:01Thanks.
00:39:03It's just some ginger candies that my cousin swore by when she was pregnant.
00:39:07Thanks.
00:39:08It means a lot.
00:39:10It's no big deal.
00:39:11Like I said, this place is on my way.
00:39:13How are you feeling?
00:39:16It's been a lot.
00:39:19A woman from the adoption agency just came by to talk to me.
00:39:22She did?
00:39:23Yeah.
00:39:25May I help you?
00:39:28This is my English teacher, Miss Ridling.
00:39:31She just came by to drop something on me.
00:39:33Well, that was nice of her.
00:39:35This is Rachel.
00:39:37She runs the group home.
00:39:39And this is Abigail.
00:39:40She runs the adoption agency.
00:39:42It's so nice to meet you.
00:39:43It's wonderful to see such a dedicated educator.
00:39:47Nice to meet you, too.
00:39:49Well, I guess I'll be going.
00:39:52Nicolette, we'll talk soon.
00:40:06Is it normal for the manager here to refer girls to a specific adoption agency?
00:40:11I don't know.
00:40:12But, um...
00:40:14I do remember Brooke talking about adoption, but...
00:40:19But what?
00:40:20It was painful for her to talk about her pregnancy.
00:40:24It was the first time where I felt a lot of distance between us.
00:40:28And God, now I really understand what she was going through.
00:40:33I finally had a plan for my life.
00:40:37Kind of wanted to be a nurse.
00:40:39Help people.
00:40:41You still can, Nicolette.
00:40:43It may sound cliche, but it's true.
00:40:47Where there's a will, there's a way.
00:41:00I can't believe this is all we have left of Brooke.
00:41:03It's only because you forgot it.
00:41:10We made this in sixth grade art class together.
00:41:19What is it going to take for people to actually care about what happens to kids like us?
00:41:29I'm going to find out what happened to Brooke.
00:41:53I'm going to find out what happens to kids like us.
00:42:13in the future.
00:42:15Something wrong, Claudia?
00:42:18I only took this job because I desperately needed the cash
00:42:22to help pay for my mother's experimental cancer treatments.
00:42:26But, uh, it doesn't always feel right.
00:42:31Right. Keeping some of these girls locked up and...
00:42:36No one is locked up.
00:42:38They are simply detained until they give birth.
00:42:41I know, it's just, uh...
00:42:46It's just a lot.
00:42:48I know.
00:42:52Why don't you go home and get some rest?
00:42:56Everything will look brighter tomorrow.
00:42:58Okay.
00:44:12Hey.
00:44:14Alex, what are you doing?
00:44:15I think you know I'm here, Claudia.
00:44:18I'm just a liability now.
00:44:25There it goes.
00:44:27A message to Brooke's good-for-nothing boyfriend, Trent.
00:44:31How about you said Trent hasn't been on that site in years?
00:44:33I don't know.
00:44:34It's worth a shot.
00:44:35Maybe he'll log back in.
00:44:36Maybe he has some information on the investigation.
00:44:42Um, I'll see you later.
00:44:43I gotta take care of something.
00:44:51Hey, can I talk to you?
00:44:53No.
00:44:56Catch you later, man.
00:45:00What's up?
00:45:03I've been thinking about putting the baby up for adoption.
00:45:13Okay.
00:45:19Don't forget to answer the questions at the end of chapter seven, okay?
00:45:22Have a good evening.
00:45:23Somebody did well in their quiz.
00:45:25Uh, yeah.
00:45:27Those ginger candies that you got me for the nausea helped me concentrate and study.
00:45:32Did you think more about the meeting that you had with that lady?
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:37But, um, I don't know yet.
00:45:42Again, take your time with this decision.
00:45:47Would you, um, would you have some time to talk to me about it more?
00:45:52I just, I have some questions about your experience.
00:45:55Sure.
00:45:56Did you want to grab a bite at the diner on Fifth Street?
00:46:00I have a teacher meeting now, but I could meet you there at 730.
00:46:03My treat.
00:46:04No, it's okay.
00:46:04You don't have to do that.
00:46:05No, no, no.
00:46:05It's no big deal.
00:46:07See you there?
00:46:10Yeah.
00:46:10I'll see you there.
00:46:23How are you, Nicolette?
00:46:25I just wanted to touch base.
00:46:27I know how tough things have been.
00:46:29That's an understatement of the year.
00:46:31Well, we're having your favorite for dinner tonight.
00:46:34Pizza.
00:46:35That should put a smile on your face.
00:46:38I'm actually going out for dinner with someone.
00:46:41And who would that be?
00:46:43I won't be back late, okay?
00:47:01Oh, hey there.
00:47:03Hey, it's such a shame about Brooke Summers.
00:47:06I'm so young, I can't stop thinking about the poor girl.
00:47:08Yeah, I know.
00:47:09It's horrible.
00:47:10Nicolette's been very brave considering how close they were.
00:47:14I just hope they find you did it.
00:47:44It's horrible.
00:47:51So, look.
00:47:56It's bad.
00:47:57It's horrible.
00:48:03It's horrible.
00:48:10Go ahead.
00:48:10Go ahead.
00:48:11Go ahead.
00:48:12It's bad.
00:48:13Go ahead.
00:48:32Hey, Nicolette, sorry. I'm just running a few minutes late.
00:48:35I'm falling. I'm scared I might have hurt the baby.
00:48:37I'm at the parking lot across from the diner.
00:48:41Stay there. I'm on my way.
00:48:54How's the baby?
00:48:55You're very lucky. The baby is fine. You need to be careful.
00:49:00Since you did have some spotting and cramping, I want to keep you overnight just in case.
00:49:06Was that your mom in here earlier?
00:49:09Oh, no. That's my teacher.
00:49:11She did the right thing in rushing you here.
00:49:12Rodney, I don't care.
00:49:20Hey, hon.
00:49:21Hey. I just wanted to check in and see if you were able to get us an appointment with the
00:49:26doctor.
00:49:26Oh. Sorry. I've been a little distracted lately.
00:49:31What's wrong?
00:49:32Well, you know my student, Nicolette, that I told you about?
00:49:35Yeah.
00:49:37Well, she thinks she was being followed and fell as she ran off. I brought her to the hospital and
00:49:42she's with a doctor now.
00:49:43That's terrible.
00:49:44I know. It is. This poor girl has been through hell the past 48 hours and I can't shake the
00:49:52feeling that...
00:49:55That...
00:49:56That something bad is going to happen.
00:50:03Nicolette, I got here as fast as I could. Oh, you poor thing.
00:50:07I'm Dr. Gibbs and you are?
00:50:09I'm Rachel. I manage the group home where Nicolette currently lives. I should be her emergency contact.
00:50:17Oh, Nicolette. You've been through enough as it is.
00:50:20Please talk to the charge nurse so we can get your information.
00:50:25And do you need to get some rest, young lady?
00:50:28I'll check on you later.
00:50:34I had just got a call from Abigail from the adoption agency before I got here.
00:50:39I told her what happened and she wants to come check in on you later.
00:50:44Yeah, I guess.
00:50:53Do you have any news on Nicolette?
00:50:55Yeah. She, uh, she stayed overnight at the hospital.
00:50:59She was convinced someone was following her.
00:51:01I don't know.
00:51:03So many crazy things have been happening lately.
00:51:06What is it?
00:51:08Brooke's boyfriend, Trent, just messaged me.
00:51:10He finally checked the social media app.
00:51:13He's in town and he wants to meet up.
00:51:24How did this happen to Brooke?
00:51:26Where's my baby?
00:51:27You need to calm down, Trent, if we're going to figure out what happened to Brooke.
00:51:30I can't believe nobody told me what happened to Brooke.
00:51:33Or my baby.
00:51:34Well, what happened between you two?
00:51:36Huh?
00:51:36When was the last time you saw her?
00:51:37What happened in Idaho, Trent?
00:51:39Things were going okay.
00:51:40We just moved in with my parents.
00:51:42I know, it's not perfect.
00:51:45One morning I wake up and Brooke's gone.
00:51:47She left a note there saying she went to L.A. to give our baby up for adoption.
00:51:50Los Angeles?
00:51:51Yeah, and like an idiot, I went down there to look for a friend of hers, to bring her back.
00:51:55But she lied to me to throw me off track.
00:51:57Because obviously she was here.
00:52:00Where are you going?
00:52:01To talk to somebody at that group home.
00:52:03They don't know anything.
00:52:06Trent!
00:52:16Were you able to get some sleep last night?
00:52:19No.
00:52:21Did the doctor come in already?
00:52:23Yeah.
00:52:25Hello, Nicolette.
00:52:27I'm glad you called me.
00:52:28So you're saying someone was following you last night.
00:52:31I don't know.
00:52:34But it felt like it, though.
00:52:38Would you mind giving us a minute?
00:52:41Wouldn't it help if I stayed here for this?
00:52:44No.
00:52:44I'll be fine.
00:52:47I'll be right outside if you need me.
00:52:54Okay, Nicolette.
00:52:55Let's start at the beginning.
00:52:59Okay.
00:53:01Okay.
00:53:23Abigail, where have you been?
00:53:25I can't take this anymore.
00:53:26Bring it in, Rachel.
00:53:27There's a cop in there with her.
00:53:29I pay you handsomely to keep your cool.
00:53:32Remember that.
00:53:36Was she able to give you any information that might help?
00:53:39She gave me a good number of details.
00:53:41It's important to remember that Nicolette's traumatized by seeing what happened to her friend,
00:53:46so she may have let her imagination get the best of her.
00:53:51However, she was a witness to a possible homicide, so we need to take everything seriously.
00:53:56Well, of course.
00:53:59And you are?
00:54:01I'm Abigail.
00:54:02I'm a friend.
00:54:05Well, please tell Nicolette to contact me if she remembers anything new.
00:54:09Will do.
00:54:10Thank you, detective.
00:54:13What now?
00:54:15I'm going to speak with her.
00:54:16Let me handle it.
00:54:18Have you given any more thought to adoption?
00:54:22Yeah.
00:54:24Um, my teacher helped me understand that it's important to take my time with such a big decision.
00:54:38That's, um, all that I have left of Brooke.
00:54:43Tell you what.
00:54:45How about I order you a rideshare?
00:54:49The car can come and pick you up right here, stop by the drugstore, pick up anything you need before
00:54:53you go home.
00:54:56Yeah, I guess that's okay.
00:54:58Um, I think that the doctor said they'll release me a little after seven.
00:55:02Great.
00:55:03I will order you a car for then.
00:55:09Oh, um, it's, um, it's a friend.
00:55:15Oh, I'll let you take that.
00:55:18Thanks.
00:55:26This is, uh, surprise?
00:55:30Yeah, yeah, I just, uh, wanted to check in and see what you're doing.
00:55:34Yeah, it was an accident.
00:55:36I fell.
00:55:38It's a long story.
00:55:40And?
00:55:41The baby?
00:55:42It's fine.
00:55:43Yeah, they just, um, they just have me here a little longer for observation.
00:55:50Um, I was thinking, the woman from the adoption agency, Loving Arms, just came by to check on me, and
00:55:59I'm still leaning towards the decision of adoption as the best option for the baby.
00:56:07Hey, listen, I never told you this, but, um, my dad's not my birth dad.
00:56:15My mom had a rough, short first marriage, and, well, I was, I was a result of it.
00:56:23My dad adopted me when I was two, and married my mom, but, and don't do me wrong, he's great,
00:56:29but...
00:56:30But what, Jake?
00:56:34Sometimes I just wonder, like, why wasn't I enough for my birth dad to stick around?
00:56:44Nicolette seems to have the address of our birthing rooms written on a piece of paper.
00:56:49I think Claudia gave it to Brooke when she came back to town.
00:56:53What do you think we should do?
00:56:54I need you to come up with a story for why Nicolette won't be returning to the group home tonight.
00:57:01Are you listening to me?
00:57:02Yes.
00:57:03Good.
00:57:05Talk soon.
00:57:13Alex.
00:57:14Yeah?
00:57:14It's time to now move locations.
00:57:16Be sure to get our passports ready.
00:57:18Sure.
00:57:19I'll talk to Rachel.
00:57:20Yeah, don't tell Rachel anything.
00:57:25So you the lady who runs this place?
00:57:27Yes, I am.
00:57:29So where's Brooke at?
00:57:35Hey, sweetie.
00:57:36How are things going?
00:57:37Good.
00:57:38How are you doing today?
00:57:39Well, it's been quite the week.
00:57:43How's your student?
00:57:44Well, she's still in the hospital, but I think she's going to be released today, thankfully.
00:57:49Okay, well, I have some good news that will cheer you up.
00:57:53Really?
00:57:54So I just found out I'm getting this huge bonus thanks to that hotel deal I just closed.
00:57:59That's awesome!
00:58:00We can use the money to pay off...
00:58:02Actually, what do you think about us using that money to pay for IVF treatment?
00:58:11Really?
00:58:11You want to try it?
00:58:14Why not?
00:58:15It's always been the money that held us back.
00:58:18That's great.
00:58:19Uh, let's do it.
00:58:22I'll make an appointment for when you get back.
00:58:24Okay.
00:58:25Bye, babe.
00:58:26Okay.
00:58:27Bye.
00:58:34Once Brooke left the home, we never heard from her again.
00:58:37Yeah, but what about that lady she said was trying to talk her into the adoption?
00:58:42Uh, Abby or Abigail, something like that.
00:58:45She said someone from here connected her to that agency.
00:58:48Maybe that woman knows something about my baby.
00:58:51I have an idea.
00:58:53Why don't you give me your contact information?
00:58:55I'll do some digging on my end, and I'll get back to you by the end of the night.
00:59:01I promise.
00:59:03Bye.
00:59:04You didn't have to come back, you know.
00:59:08I was so worried about you.
00:59:12Those are beautiful.
00:59:14Oh, yeah.
00:59:14It was a gift from Abigail from the adoption agency.
00:59:18Really?
00:59:19She was here?
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:22That's interesting.
00:59:25Thank you for everything that you did for me last night.
00:59:28I told you.
00:59:29You can count on me.
00:59:34You know, talking to you about your situation
00:59:39has me thinking a lot about what I went through.
00:59:42How so?
00:59:45Remember when I said that
00:59:48my parents didn't talk about my baby
00:59:50when I came home after having her?
00:59:54I think on some level I knew
00:59:57how much that affected me.
01:00:00How much it made me blame myself for the entire thing.
01:00:04I thought maybe
01:00:06me not being able to conceive now
01:00:09is because of the shame
01:00:11I brought on my upstanding parents.
01:00:14No, you would make an amazing mom.
01:00:16Mom, you did the best that you could.
01:00:20Just like I'm trying to do right now.
01:00:24Are you sure you're only 16?
01:00:26Because I was pretty darn wise.
01:00:29I have my moments, I guess.
01:00:34I could stick around
01:00:35and give you a ride home if you want.
01:00:38No, it's okay.
01:00:39You've done enough.
01:00:40I actually, I have a ride share.
01:00:42Okay.
01:00:43Well, if anything changes
01:00:45you can call me, okay?
01:00:47Will do.
01:01:00Hello?
01:01:01Trent.
01:01:02It's Rachel at the group home.
01:01:05I might have some information about Brooke,
01:01:07but we need to keep it
01:01:09between the two of us for the moment.
01:01:11Yeah, okay.
01:01:12It's very important.
01:01:13Can you do that?
01:01:15Sure, of course.
01:01:16Good.
01:01:17Meet me at 515 Morrison downtown.
01:01:20We have to do this in secret.
01:01:23For Brooke.
01:01:24I'll be there.
01:01:26Okay.
01:01:39That's right.
01:01:41Yeah, and you are?
01:01:52You can't concentrate
01:01:53with everything going on.
01:01:55Nicolette was supposed to be back by now.
01:01:56Rachel said she was coming home tonight.
01:02:02I've been here three years, you know?
01:02:04Brooke's not the first girl
01:02:06to disappear from here mysteriously.
01:02:08What do you mean?
01:02:11Never mind.
01:02:13Okay.
01:02:23Callie, if you know something, anything,
01:02:26tell me.
01:02:29Please.
01:02:37There's been at least one other girl
01:02:39that they said ran away
01:02:41who was also pregnant.
01:02:43What was her name?
01:02:45Misty.
01:02:47Misty Miller.
01:02:48She lived here two years ago,
01:02:50and then one day I walked in on her.
01:02:53She had an envelope with a lot of cash.
01:02:56A lot.
01:02:57And not soon after.
01:02:59She was just gone.
01:03:01I never found out what happened
01:03:03to her or her baby.
01:03:06But I think Rachel knows something about it.
01:03:09Callie.
01:03:14Callie.
01:03:15Do you think you could help
01:03:16Mrs. Hill in the kitchen for dinner?
01:03:19Now?
01:03:19Please?
01:03:24Everything okay, Vanesha?
01:03:26Yeah.
01:03:27Why?
01:03:46The door is closed.
01:03:48I don't know.
01:03:48Why did he get me?
01:03:49Is it okay?
01:03:49I don't know.
01:03:50What are you doing?
01:03:50I don't know.
01:03:52I don't know.
01:03:54What are you doing?
01:04:05Nicolette?
01:04:06Yeah.
01:04:08Have me a ride, Hopin.
01:04:45Why are we stopping?
01:04:53Uh, sorry one of the...
01:04:55Tires is actually funny.
01:04:59I'm gonna go check it out.
01:05:10What are you doing?
01:05:11Oh!
01:05:13BABY!
01:05:14BABY!
01:05:16BABY!
01:05:17BABY!
01:05:19BABY!
01:05:24I don't know.
01:06:04I'm so sorry about this situation, Nicolette.
01:06:08But unfortunately, you left me with no alternative.
01:06:13Oh.
01:06:15Where, where, where am I?
01:06:17What is, what is this place?
01:06:20It's a temporary home until I can make arrangements for more permanent accommodations.
01:06:29A long way from here.
01:06:49Jake, what are you doing here?
01:06:50I came to see Nicolette.
01:06:52Yeah?
01:06:52Just wanted to make sure she's okay.
01:06:54Well, she hasn't come back yet, even though she texted me last night and said she was on her way.
01:06:57That's weird.
01:06:59Yeah.
01:07:00Where the hell is she?
01:07:01She's bad.
01:07:02I feel it in my bones.
01:07:03But where are you going?
01:07:06I'm trying to track down this other girl.
01:07:07She used to live here and she was pregnant too.
01:07:09Just like broke one day, she wasn't here anymore.
01:07:12It's a long shot, but I think I know where she works.
01:07:14Can I come with you?
01:07:16I guess.
01:07:16I mean, I can drive.
01:07:18Sure.
01:07:19Great.
01:07:20We can call the hospital too, see if they know anything about Nicolette.
01:07:32Hey, it's Nicolette. Leave a message.
01:07:36Hi Nicolette, it's Ms. Ridling.
01:07:38I just wanted to see how you're feeling today.
01:07:40Send me a message when you get a sec.
01:07:47When I get out of this bed, I swear!
01:07:49Who are you?
01:07:51Really?
01:07:52Are you in this with Rachel?
01:07:54She has something to do with Brooke and her baby?
01:07:58Tell me!
01:08:00Brooke tried to back out of an agreement we had
01:08:03and became a complication, that's true.
01:08:06What did you do with her baby?
01:08:08Where is it?
01:08:10Living happily with a wonderful, advantaged couple
01:08:14who paid a handsome price.
01:08:16In fact, I'm certain I'm going to get the same for yours.
01:08:27Hey, do you have a second to chat?
01:08:29I am having a day.
01:08:31I think I like overheated the milk for a cappuccino or something.
01:08:35And it exploded everywhere.
01:08:38And I'm going to call you back in about five minutes.
01:08:41Can I help you guys?
01:08:43Are you Misty Miller?
01:08:45Why, who are you two?
01:08:46I live at a path ahead group whom I heard you used to live there too.
01:08:49You were pregnant, but then you left and never came back.
01:08:52I don't know what you're talking about.
01:08:54One of her friends broke, this appeared in.
01:08:56And now she's dead.
01:08:58And one of my other friends is pregnant and she just went missing too.
01:09:01We're just worried for her.
01:09:03Look, I'm sorry. I got nothing to say.
01:09:05Please, okay? Anything you say will help.
01:09:06Because we already lost one friend. We can't lose another.
01:09:10Anything. At all.
01:09:16Don't trust Rachel.
01:09:19I needed cash at the time, so I went with it.
01:09:24Be careful of Abigail.
01:09:26You know, Nicolette did mention something about a lady from an adoption center who came by.
01:09:32Is that...?
01:09:33Yeah. Abigail runs the agency that Rachel referred me to.
01:09:37Like I said, I got my cash and I just went on with my business.
01:09:41But I've heard that some of the other girls, they don't have a good experience with her.
01:09:48Please, that is all I can say.
01:09:50I'm begging you, do not come back here and talk to me about this.
01:10:03Hi. I'm looking for Nicolette.
01:10:05Oh, she's not here.
01:10:09Oh, I was just worried about Nicolette when I saw her at the hospital again yesterday.
01:10:13You saw her again at the hospital?
01:10:16Yes.
01:10:17And she said she was coming back here last night and she had a ride scheduled.
01:10:21Well, she didn't come back here.
01:10:25I don't understand. How can you not know where she is?
01:10:28She was supposed to call me to come pick her up. Let me call the hospital again and get more
01:10:32information.
01:10:33And what else can we do?
01:10:35Try not to worry. I'm sure she'll be back any minute. Nicolette has a mind of her own.
01:10:41What are you not telling me?
01:10:43Nicolette told me that you set her up with the contact at the adoption agency.
01:10:48Is that normal protocol for your job?
01:10:51And that woman was here the night I dropped off some things for Nicolette.
01:10:54Perhaps this contact knows where Nicolette is right now.
01:10:59I have no idea what you could possibly be referring to.
01:11:04And I'm going to have to ask you to leave now.
01:11:17Ms. Ridland? What are you doing here?
01:11:20I came to check on Nicolette, but she's not here. Have you talked to her?
01:11:23No. No, not since she told me she was coming home and didn't.
01:11:28That's worrisome.
01:11:30What are you kids doing now?
01:11:32We just met somebody who was pregnant and left the group home of years back.
01:11:35All she would tell us was not to trust Rachel and this woman Abigail, who she got referred to for
01:11:40adoption options.
01:11:42And Nicolette told me that the name of the agency was Loving Arms.
01:11:45I think I met that woman when I stopped by the other day.
01:11:48And Rachel is hiding something, I'm 100% sure. She's very on edge.
01:11:55Maybe what happened to your friend Brooke and Nicolette are...
01:12:00Are connected.
01:12:01Yeah.
01:12:03Okay, I'm going to look up the address for this agency and go there in person.
01:12:07I will get this Abigail woman to talk to me.
01:12:10Well, can we do anything now, or...?
01:12:12Why don't you go talk to Detective Holmes about your suspicions?
01:12:16I mean, we don't have anything concrete yet, but maybe we can do some digging into Rachel and this Abigail
01:12:21at the agency.
01:12:23I'm scared for Nicolette now.
01:12:25Maybe we'll get lucky. She'll turn up and around.
01:13:02You need to eat and stay hydrated. I have a long journey ahead of you.
01:13:05What the hell are you people going to do with me?
01:13:07Calm down. It's important for the baby.
01:13:10It's hard to stay calm when you're strapped to a bed against your will!
01:13:14Don't worry. I'll take care of you.
01:13:20And what are you going to do with me after the baby's born?
01:13:27Eat.
01:13:50Hi. May I help you?
01:13:55Hi. We met at the home where my student Nicolette lives.
01:13:59Yes. Nicolette. What is this concerning? I'm sorry, I'm a little confused as to why you're here.
01:14:05Oh, uh, Nicolette didn't make it back to the home last night from the hospital.
01:14:11Oh. Well, I don't know anything about that.
01:14:16Have you helped set up adoptions for other girls at the agency?
01:14:20Oh, well, a couple.
01:14:22Sometimes young women who need guidance.
01:14:26I am sorry, but I'm going to be late for an appointment.
01:14:31Fine. Thank you for your time.
01:14:38Damn it.
01:14:50Let's just see where you're headed to next.
01:14:55Alex, listen carefully. We need to move our guests to a new location before our partners come for the pickup.
01:15:00Too many people are asking questions.
01:15:11Why in God's name are you in this part of town?
01:15:17Uh, hi Mark.
01:15:18Hey babe. How are things going?
01:15:21Can I call you back later?
01:15:23Everything okay? You sound stressed.
01:15:25No, everything's okay. It's just been, it's just been a day.
01:15:29I'll call you back later.
01:15:31Okay.
01:15:36Now you're saying Nicolette never came back to the home from the hospital.
01:15:39Right.
01:15:41And I even called the hospital and the nurse told me that she was released last night.
01:15:45Look, there have been suspicions regarding both your group home manager and the adoption agency.
01:15:51Brooke, Misty, and now Nicolette are all tied to this Abigail person.
01:15:55I'm going to talk to Rachel Medford as soon as possible.
01:15:59Believe me, I want to find out what happened to your friend as badly as you do.
01:16:05Please.
01:16:11Please.
01:16:16Please.
01:16:25Please.
01:16:26Why?
01:16:26Why?
01:16:27Why?
01:16:28Why?
01:16:29Why?
01:16:35Who?
01:16:36Why?
01:16:37Why?
01:17:01What is this place?
01:17:03What the hell?
01:17:04Are you following me?
01:17:06Tell me where Nicolette is.
01:17:16Oh, I'm here.
01:17:31Hi, this is Sandy Ridling.
01:17:33We met yesterday at the hospital.
01:17:35Nicolette's teacher.
01:17:35Yes. Um, something big is happening.
01:17:40Uh, I, I, I'm just, I'm not sure.
01:17:42Mrs. Ridling, take a deep breath and tell me what's happening.
01:17:44Okay.
01:17:45I followed the woman that the girls were sent to as an adoption contact to some rundown location downtown.
01:17:52Wait, what?
01:17:53This woman, Abigail, attacked me when I confronted her, but I pepper sprayed her.
01:17:59I think this is where Nicolette is being held or something.
01:18:03Tell me where you're at exactly.
01:18:04I'm at, uh, 141 State Street.
01:18:08I'm, I'm going to go inside the building to see if I can...
01:18:10Do not go inside anywhere, you hear me?
01:18:12I'm sending help right now.
01:18:14Please hurry.
01:18:17Get cars to 141 State Street, possible 134 in progress.
01:18:21We've got a huge break in the summer's case.
01:18:25We've got a huge break in the middle of the year.
01:18:46Then wait.
01:18:51Come, cause I never let you do.
01:18:55Abigail, are you okay?
01:18:56Never mind me, just go in there
01:18:58and stop that woman from getting Nicolette out.
01:19:10Nicolette?
01:19:11Are you here?
01:19:12Yeah, I'm in here.
01:19:21Help, please.
01:19:23Yes.
01:19:25Yes.
01:19:28Oh my God.
01:19:31How did you find me?
01:19:32Talk about that later.
01:19:34Okay.
01:19:34We have to get out of here.
01:19:36There are people that are gonna come
01:19:38and take me to a different country.
01:19:40Like, God knows where.
01:19:43Okay.
01:19:44The police are on their way.
01:19:45Are you hurt?
01:19:46I think I'm okay.
01:19:47I just...
01:19:47I'm really...
01:19:48I'm scared out of my mind.
