00:00:00My daddy wins! We win!
00:00:06I died on the day of my foster sister's piano composition.
00:00:11The man my father once put behind bars came back for revenge.
00:00:15And I was the one he found.
00:00:18Come on, say it.
00:00:21Paul and Evelyn, those two sons of bitches, they'll burn in hell.
00:00:28Open your goddamn mouth and say it!
00:00:31I'll let you go if you say it.
00:00:35My dad is the best detective.
00:00:40And my mom is the best coroner.
00:00:43I love them.
00:00:46They're my dear.
00:00:47Son of a bitch!
00:01:06I love you.
00:01:27Where's Bella?
00:01:36Give her a call.
00:01:40I think you're so tough.
00:01:42I cut your tongue out.
00:01:43See how tough you are now.
00:01:52Daddy's calling.
00:01:53Guess he still cares about you.
00:01:55Bella.
00:01:56Bella.
00:01:57What are you doing?
00:01:58Bella.
00:01:59Today's your sister's piano competition.
00:02:02Did you forget?
00:02:04Where are you?
00:02:05Why haven't you shown up?
00:02:06We'll never tame that ungrateful girl.
00:02:08Anna slipped up because of her.
00:02:10Only second place.
00:02:12Bella.
00:02:13What are you doing?
00:02:14Bella.
00:02:15You know, I swear I regret taking you back so much.
00:02:24Guess I took the wrong kid.
00:02:26Thought they'd love their real daughter more.
00:02:37You want this?
00:02:38This is more exciting.
00:02:46Sorry, sweetheart.
00:02:48You're chopping up the bad luck.
00:02:50Oh, Paul's your father.
00:02:52And Paul put me away behind bars for a lot of years.
00:02:55Now it's my turn to enjoy and your turn to feel the pain.
00:03:26Mom?
00:03:27Mom?
00:03:28You're back.
00:03:35Am I dead?
00:03:39Mom!
00:03:46Anna?
00:03:48Honey, our baby girl is home and we are starving.
00:03:54So that's it?
00:03:56I really am.
00:03:57Dead.
00:04:00I never thought there'd be life after death.
00:04:03Yet here I am.
00:04:05Coming! Coming!
00:04:07Oh, I still went neither to heaven nor hell.
00:04:09Oh, I'm not old enough for that.
00:04:11On Christmas Day, to the place I could never leave behind.
00:04:15When I was five, I was kidnapped.
00:04:17At sixteen, I was finally found and brought home.
00:04:20Only to discover a new sister.
00:04:23Anna.
00:04:25Oh, hey, hey, what do you think you're doing?
00:04:28But it's Christmas.
00:04:31She is almost eighteen.
00:04:34Fine, but that's all.
00:04:35And you drink it slow.
00:04:36Okay.
00:04:37Mom and Dad said they adopted her because they miss me too much.
00:04:41But why is there no place for me now that I'm back?
00:04:44Cheers.
00:04:46Merry Christmas.
00:04:47Merry Christmas.
00:04:47Merry Christmas.
00:04:48Mom, Dad.
00:04:50I've been gone for so long.
00:04:53Don't you care at all?
00:04:56It's Christmas.
00:04:57It's Christmas.
00:04:58Where's Bella?
00:04:59Is she still not back?
00:05:01No.
00:05:02And I've called her several times.
00:05:04Her phone switched off.
00:05:06Call her again.
00:05:07Find out where she is.
00:05:08Or if she just doesn't want to be a part of this family anymore.
00:05:14Maybe she's still upset with me.
00:05:17It's all my fault.
00:05:19I saw her that night get on the back of a motorcycle with some punk.
00:05:23What?
00:05:24No.
00:05:25Mom.
00:05:25Dad.
00:05:25I didn't.
00:05:26She's lying.
00:05:28Please don't be mad.
00:05:29I tried to talk her out of it, but she said if I said anything, she...
00:05:33What, sweetheart?
00:05:34You can tell us.
00:05:35What does she say?
00:05:36She said if I snitch, she'd break my leg.
00:05:42How could she say something so cruel?
00:05:45If she was such a sweet little girl, what happened to her?
00:05:49You know, this is what happens when they don't grow up with you.
00:05:51Mom.
00:05:52Mom, Dad, please don't be upset.
00:05:54I'll always stay.
00:05:55I promise.
00:05:57I'll never change.
00:05:59My sweet Anna.
00:06:00I'm starving.
00:06:02It's getting cold.
00:06:03Come on.
00:06:04So this is what I am to you.
00:06:06I'm your real daughter, yet somehow I am completely outside.
00:06:19What?
00:06:22Got it.
00:06:24What happened?
00:06:25They found a dismembered body down at the beach.
00:06:27Brutal work.
00:06:32We need to teach her a lesson.
00:06:34I think that she's just at that age now.
00:06:37You know, the rebellious stage.
00:06:39Hurry up and end this already because I can't take it anymore.
00:06:42You know, she should be grateful.
00:06:44Without us, she'd still be out on the street.
00:06:49What's happening?
00:06:50Can you help me?
00:06:51What's happening?
00:06:52What's going on?
00:06:55Can you help me?
00:06:57What's going on?
00:06:58What's going on?
00:07:10What's going on?
00:07:11So any information you have will help us greatly.
00:07:13At first, I thought I had one big fighting at the hook.
00:07:17And that's when I realized it wasn't a fish.
00:07:20Officer, I'm telling you.
00:07:22I don't have anything to do with this.
00:07:24Dumping a body in our most prized tourist site.
00:07:27Timing couldn't be better.
00:07:29Tourist season.
00:07:30This is a public relations nightmare.
00:07:33Take him in for questioning and get a statement.
00:07:35Yes, sir.
00:07:37Stuff of nightmares.
00:07:38In all my years, I've never seen anything like this.
00:07:41Body was cut into pieces.
00:07:43So far, we've recovered the torso and the arms.
00:07:47But the head and legs, still missing.
00:07:51You've done enough.
00:07:52We'll handle it from here.
00:08:00Girl, young too.
00:08:03Tragedy.
00:08:05That's my body.
00:08:09Mom.
00:08:10Mom, that's me.
00:08:16You remember the bracelet, right?
00:08:19The year that I returned, I made a pair.
00:08:22One for you and then one for Anna.
00:08:24They're exactly the same.
00:08:28How would you be so vicious?
00:08:30Hiding a blade in that bracelet?
00:08:31What?
00:08:32You hurt your sister.
00:08:33What?
00:08:34No, no.
00:08:34I didn't.
00:08:35I swear.
00:08:36Then how do you explain that cut on her hand?
00:08:38Hmm?
00:08:39The proof is right there and yet still you lie to my face.
00:08:42No, mom.
00:08:43I didn't do anything.
00:08:44Please believe me.
00:08:45I knew it.
00:08:46You're nothing but trouble.
00:08:47Just got back and you're already bullying your sister.
00:08:50No dinner for you tonight.
00:08:51You go to your room and you stay there until you know what you did wrong.
00:08:56Anna, sweetheart.
00:08:57Come on, I'm taking you to the hospital.
00:09:07This bracelet.
00:09:09It's...
00:09:09It's...
00:09:12It's critical evidence.
00:09:15Make sure to label it properly and store it well.
00:09:20I hope you remember.
00:09:22I should have known.
00:09:24You only ever see Anna.
00:09:26Not me.
00:09:27Even if I am your real daughter.
00:09:29It should belong to the victim but it's pretty lit up.
00:09:32I'm not sure if it can still turn on.
00:09:35Alright.
00:09:35After the lab's done with testing, send it over to tech for data recovery.
00:09:40Mhm.
00:09:43Any new findings on the body yet?
00:09:46Female.
00:09:46About 18 years old.
00:09:48The body's too incomplete to determine a definitive cause of death.
00:09:52But it's clear that she was brutally tortured before she died.
00:09:55For a long time.
00:09:56The killer is deranged.
00:09:58And leaving her corpse in a crowded tourist site.
00:10:01If this gets out, there's gonna be mass panic.
00:10:03We need to find that killer as soon as possible before the press gets wind.
00:10:07Sick son of a bitch.
00:10:10Alright, listen up guys.
00:10:11We gotta be on high alert.
00:10:13Especially you two.
00:10:14Don't let the girls out at night.
00:10:16Anna listens to us.
00:10:19Bella...
00:10:20We can't control her.
00:10:21Mom!
00:10:24Old age finally catching up to you, huh?
00:10:28That's fine.
00:10:29Bella's been good helping with the rehab.
00:10:32You know what?
00:10:32You two sure as hell complain a lot about Bella.
00:10:35But you know what?
00:10:36She understands your pain.
00:10:39Come on.
00:10:41Be kinder to her.
00:10:42She is your flesh and blood after all.
00:10:44Don't worry about Bella, okay?
00:10:47She missed Anna's competition.
00:10:49We had an argument on the phone.
00:10:51I said a couple of words.
00:10:52She snapped at me.
00:10:53And she hasn't been home since.
00:10:55She's not even answering my calls.
00:10:57That doesn't sound like Bella.
00:10:59No matter what, get her home first.
00:11:01It's dangerous out here.
00:11:04I'll handle it when she gets back.
00:11:06Come on, call her now.
00:11:14The phone you were calling is powered off.
00:11:17Her phone's off again.
00:11:19Just quit calling.
00:11:21Let her be.
00:11:22She'll come home when she's ready.
00:11:24Or she won't.
00:11:26Honestly, the way she's acting right now,
00:11:27I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up dead out here.
00:11:30That girl will send us to an early grave.
00:11:33Mom!
00:11:34Dad!
00:11:35I'm not staying away.
00:11:37I just...
00:11:40I can't ever come home again.
00:11:43That daughter that you call ungrateful.
00:11:46She's dead.
00:11:47And her body is right in front of you.
00:11:51The setup here is crude.
00:11:53But it's clear that this wasn't the primary crime scene.
00:11:55It's just one of the dump sites.
00:11:57Run a full autopsy back at the lab.
00:11:59See if you can find anything new.
00:12:01Got it.
00:12:02George, let's canvass the area.
00:12:05Knock on doors.
00:12:06Check CCTV for suspects.
00:12:08We gotta find the rest of his body.
00:12:10We gotta go.
00:12:20Poor girl.
00:12:22What an awful way to go.
00:12:24Parents must be devastated.
00:12:26Rest easy, sweetheart.
00:12:28As coroner, I promise.
00:12:30I'll find out what happened to you.
00:12:32And I'll bring you justice.
00:12:40I hope you show so much care for a stranger.
00:12:43And you've always been so harsh of me.
00:12:54Thanks, mom.
00:12:56I keep telling you, pumpkin.
00:12:59I need you to tie that beautiful hair back while you eat.
00:13:02Don't wanna make a mess.
00:13:03Alright.
00:13:04Better.
00:13:10Ugh.
00:13:11Always touching me with the hands that touch a corpse.
00:13:13It's so gross.
00:13:15Mom's the best coroner.
00:13:17And she's the most amazing person I know.
00:13:19How dare you call her disgusting?
00:13:24Bitch.
00:13:25How dare you slap me?
00:13:27I'm gonna make you regret this.
00:13:32Anna!
00:13:34Anna!
00:13:37What on earth is happening in here?
00:13:40Mom, I asked her if she wanted to eat, and she said that she wouldn't eat anything that
00:13:45your hands made because you touched the dead.
00:13:47I tried to talk to her, but she slapped me and knocked the food over.
00:13:51Is that true?
00:13:52No, no.
00:13:53That was Anna.
00:13:54Bella, look at you.
00:13:56Lying?
00:13:57Again?
00:13:58If you don't want to eat my food, then don't.
00:14:01Get her out of here.
00:14:02I don't want to see her in my house.
00:14:03No!
00:14:04Dad, please.
00:14:05Do you believe me, right?
00:14:06You know I wouldn't say something like that.
00:14:07I wouldn't do this.
00:14:08How dare you talk to your mother that way?
00:14:10You get out!
00:14:11Get out!
00:14:15Get out!
00:14:16Let's do it!
00:14:18Please!
00:14:36If you knew that I was dead, would you even be sad?
00:14:42No.
00:14:44No, but I would just be happy that I was gone.
00:14:57Evelyn?
00:14:58We found more remains in a nearby restaurant sewer.
00:15:02See if you can find out if it belongs to the same body.
00:15:04No problem.
00:15:21Based on the incision patterns and blood type, it's the same person.
00:15:25I finished stitching the body together.
00:15:27Limbs and torso were complete.
00:15:28Now only the head is missing.
00:15:32Alright, well we need to expand the search area and get us some more evidence.
00:15:37Agreed.
00:15:39Great work so far.
00:15:40We're gonna keep looking.
00:15:54Rest easy, sweet girl.
00:15:56We're gonna find the rest of you soon.
00:15:58And I'm gonna make sure you see justice.
00:16:06What's this?
00:16:07Mom, it's mine.
00:16:08Do you remember my scar on my leg?
00:16:22Oh no.
00:16:24Are you okay?
00:16:30What's happening in here?
00:16:32Mom!
00:16:33Mom!
00:16:34Mom!
00:16:35I was just trying to make coffee for Bella.
00:16:38I wanted to be nice and she knocked it over.
00:16:44How could you be so awful to your sister?
00:16:46I cannot.
00:16:48Let me see your finger.
00:16:50Oh, come on.
00:16:52Let's put it under water, sweetie.
00:17:00This scar.
00:17:02Why does it look so familiar?
00:17:06Mom, do you see the scar?
00:17:08Do you remember the scar on my leg?
00:17:11How'd your chemistry test go?
00:17:12Good.
00:17:13I think I aced it.
00:17:14You aced all your tests.
00:17:20Mom!
00:17:20Bella's scar is huge!
00:17:22It's so gross.
00:17:26Bella.
00:17:27Long pants only from now on.
00:17:29Okay?
00:17:30No more skirts.
00:17:31Just carry your sister.
00:17:33Oh.
00:17:34Okay.
00:17:36It's okay, sweetheart.
00:17:41It's just a little scar.
00:17:43It's all right.
00:17:44Don't be scared.
00:17:45You okay?
00:17:46Yeah, I'm okay.
00:17:50It's okay, sweetheart.
00:17:50It's just a little scar.
00:17:51It's all right.
00:17:53Don't be scared.
00:17:53You okay?
00:17:53It's so deep.
00:17:55She must have suffered terribly when she got this.
00:17:58Mom, please.
00:17:59If you even care about me just a little bit,
00:18:02you'll notice it's me from the scar.
00:18:05Wait.
00:18:06Didn't Bella have a scar like this, too?
00:18:15Could it be...
00:18:17Mom?
00:18:21Anna, what are you doing here?
00:18:23Oh, no.
00:18:24Don't come any further.
00:18:25The smell is awful.
00:18:26Well, you and Dad didn't come home last night.
00:18:28I missed you, so I came to see you.
00:18:32Sweetheart, didn't your father tell you it's dangerous lately?
00:18:35You really shouldn't be out there alone.
00:18:37Yeah, he told me yesterday, but tomorrow's my piano competition.
00:18:41If I win, I go to the national finals.
00:18:43Will you and Dad please be there?
00:18:46Well, we've got this case, sweetie, and it's pretty urgent we solve it.
00:18:51But, Mom, don't you want a champion daughter?
00:18:55All right.
00:18:57All right, all right.
00:18:58I will be there cheering you on in the audience.
00:19:02You'll always choose Anna over me.
00:19:04So, this dismemberment case, it's...
00:19:08How do you know that?
00:19:09Girl about your age.
00:19:11Still haven't found all the pieces.
00:19:13Ooh.
00:19:14That's awful.
00:19:15Mom, you always said you couldn't share details from your work.
00:19:19But when it comes to Anna, you just throw all the rules away.
00:19:25Wait a second.
00:19:25How did you know it was a dismemberment case?
00:19:28That's confidential.
00:19:30Uh...
00:19:30How do you know?
00:19:32Dad said it at the dinner table.
00:19:34Remember on the phone?
00:19:35Mom?
00:19:36Oh...
00:19:37You're right.
00:19:39You're right.
00:19:40Well, just try not to think about things like this, okay?
00:19:43It's gonna give you nightmares.
00:19:45How can I be scared when I'm with you?
00:19:48Mom.
00:19:52You never gave me an embrace like that.
00:19:54And I will never get the chance to.
00:19:58How can I be scared when I'm with you?
00:20:05Evelyn, I ran the fingerprints and DNA analysis on this phone.
00:20:09It belongs to the victim.
00:20:10Nice work.
00:20:11Go ahead and send it over to Tech for data recovery.
00:20:15Mom.
00:20:17Wait a second, that phone, let me see it.
00:20:20Doesn't Bella have a phone like that?
00:20:22I got a new case.
00:20:24Now it looks as good as more.
00:20:28Hey!
00:20:29New phone, huh?
00:20:31Give it back.
00:20:34Country girl.
00:20:35Never seen the world?
00:20:36Thinks a new phone is some kind of treasure?
00:20:40Strange.
00:20:41Where's the 3,000 bucks I had in here?
00:20:44Bella got a new phone.
00:20:45She probably bought it with the money.
00:20:47What?
00:20:47Mom, what's wrong?
00:20:49Let me see that.
00:20:50Where did you get this?
00:20:52Mom, you really don't remember this phone?
00:20:54Answer me.
00:20:55Did you steal my money to buy this?
00:20:57I didn't steal anything.
00:20:59Oh?
00:21:00So now you steal and lie, huh?
00:21:07But I didn't lie.
00:21:11I didn't steal anything.
00:21:14Mom, Mom, that's my phone.
00:21:16That's my phone.
00:21:19That phone model is super common, Mom.
00:21:23Of course.
00:21:24How could it be Bella's phone?
00:21:26She's probably off somewhere entertaining herself.
00:21:29Mom!
00:21:31Speaking of Bella, do you think she'd come to my competition tomorrow?
00:21:35I know with her blessing I'd definitely win.
00:21:38Bella, she, it's, it's, it's okay.
00:21:42If she doesn't want to come.
00:21:44She never really liked me.
00:21:46But I, I get it.
00:21:47I mean, I took the love you and Dad once gave her, so.
00:21:51No, Mom, she's twisting it up.
00:21:53She's always been bullying me.
00:21:54She's the one who doesn't like me.
00:21:56Never liked you.
00:21:58Oh, sweetheart, that's ridiculous.
00:21:59Nope.
00:22:00She wouldn't dare miss it.
00:22:01And you know what?
00:22:03I am going to call her right now.
00:22:05Hmm?
00:22:06And if she doesn't come, then I will break her legs.
00:22:11Hmm?
00:22:14My legs are already broken.
00:22:18Oh, this is strange.
00:22:20This phone just powered down by itself.
00:22:23Mom, it's calling.
00:22:25Mom, it's my phone.
00:22:26Mom, if you just take one step closer, you'll see the truth.
00:22:29Could it really be?
00:22:33Could it really be?
00:22:36Sorry?
00:22:37It's just clever.
00:22:38Your dad needs power off.
00:22:40Unbelievable.
00:22:42She just hung up on me.
00:22:43Why didn't they come?
00:22:46Go ahead and take the phone over to Tech.
00:22:47Thank you, Megan.
00:22:48No, Mom.
00:22:50Don't be mad, Mom.
00:22:52Maybe Bella had something urgent to do.
00:22:54Urgent?
00:22:55Yeah, right.
00:22:56She probably ran off with those punks.
00:22:58Listen, you don't worry about it, okay?
00:23:00You just focus on your competition.
00:23:02Your dad and I will be there.
00:23:03Okay.
00:23:04As for Bella...
00:23:06Well...
00:23:07Forget about her.
00:23:08Hmm?
00:23:09You really don't care about me, Mom?
00:23:11Oh, go on.
00:23:12Get ready.
00:23:13Okay.
00:23:13Bye, Mom.
00:23:14Love you.
00:23:21Evelyn.
00:23:21Bella.
00:23:23Bella's gone missing.
00:23:24Grandma?
00:23:26Grandma!
00:23:27Mom.
00:23:29Come on.
00:23:29You know Bella's always been a wild child.
00:23:31I'm sure she's just run off somewhere with one of her punk kid friends.
00:23:35I'm sure she'll be back soon.
00:23:36Just don't worry about something like this.
00:23:39No.
00:23:40Impossible.
00:23:41Bella's not that kind of girl.
00:23:43She used to call me every day.
00:23:45It's been three days.
00:23:47Something's wrong.
00:23:48Mom, she just wants attention.
00:23:50Isn't that obvious?
00:23:52Listen, please just put this out of your mind, alright?
00:23:55I have work to do.
00:23:56I'll call you later.
00:23:57Evelyn!
00:23:58Oh, Mom.
00:23:58Grandma!
00:24:06What is it?
00:24:07Something wrong with the autopsy?
00:24:09No.
00:24:09My mother.
00:24:10Apparently Bella's run away from home and now she's dragged my mom into it.
00:24:13I didn't.
00:24:14Hey, she knows we're busy.
00:24:16And she's still pulling this kind of crap.
00:24:18I'll give her a call.
00:24:19No, don't bother.
00:24:20I just tried.
00:24:21She hung up on me.
00:24:23You know, she's nothing but trouble.
00:24:24You know, she's nothing but trouble.
00:24:25But-
00:24:26And with any luck, she'll never come home.
00:24:27I'm great for kids.
00:24:29If you both hate me so much, then why are you looking for me?
00:24:32Why are you trying to bring me back?
00:24:36Emma.
00:24:37We are not leaving you behind.
00:24:40Even with your sister back, you are still our daughter.
00:24:45Hello.
00:24:50Paul.
00:24:50Evelyn.
00:24:51I've brought your daughter home.
00:24:54That's my sister?
00:24:56She looks homeless.
00:25:00Bella.
00:25:02Thank God you're here.
00:25:08George, are you sure?
00:25:10Maybe you got the wrong girl?
00:25:12There must be a mistake.
00:25:14Evelyn, there's no way that I'm wrong.
00:25:18The records match.
00:25:19She's your daughter.
00:25:26Bella.
00:25:27Those are your parents.
00:25:29Go to them, sweetheart.
00:25:34This is alright, Bella.
00:25:36They are your parents.
00:25:38Go on.
00:25:42Oh, no, no, no, not my new carpet.
00:25:46Oh.
00:25:48Sorry.
00:25:50Paul.
00:25:51Evelyn.
00:25:52I ran the DNA from the victim through the national database.
00:25:56No match yet to any missing person.
00:25:59Scratch, you haven't filed me missing!
00:26:02Jesus.
00:26:03After all this time, no new reports?
00:26:05What kind of family are they?
00:26:08Her daughter goes missing and nobody even bothers to go out and search for her?
00:26:11Yeah, why don't you bother to go look?
00:26:14Maybe she didn't get along with her family?
00:26:17I mean, not everyone's a good person.
00:26:20Some parents just don't love their kids.
00:26:23And that's you!
00:26:24That's exactly who you are!
00:26:33Please, can anybody help?
00:26:35I need help!
00:26:37Anyone, please?
00:26:38Mary?
00:26:39George!
00:26:39Please, you must find my granddaughter.
00:26:41Sure, we'll do our best.
00:26:43Mom?
00:26:44Mom, what are you doing here?
00:26:46Stop making a scene.
00:26:47Everyone's looking.
00:26:48Whatever it is, we can talk about it later.
00:26:50Just please go back home.
00:26:51No!
00:26:52I'm not going anywhere.
00:26:54Not until we find Bella.
00:26:56Grandma.
00:26:58Bella, always Bella.
00:27:00Might I remind you it's Anna who grew up by your side?
00:27:02So why don't you go home, take care of her?
00:27:04Stop making a fuss.
00:27:06Evan, how can you be so cold?
00:27:09Bella is your true daughter.
00:27:12She's been gone for so long.
00:27:14Don't you care at all?
00:27:18Bella.
00:27:19Your parents, they never stopped loving you.
00:27:23It's just, ever since they lost you back then, they carried so much guilt.
00:27:29It's like they don't know how to be around you anymore.
00:27:32So please, sweetheart, don't blame them.
00:27:35Huh?
00:27:36I won't, Grandma.
00:27:38I promise, I'll be good.
00:27:42Good girl.
00:27:45She's not a kid anymore.
00:27:47Who knows where she is?
00:27:49She's probably run off with some punk.
00:27:51You know, Anna said that she's seen her sneaking into hotel rooms with some of those boys.
00:27:54Enough!
00:27:55My Bella would never do that.
00:27:58When Bella went missing, you two wouldn't eat or sleep.
00:28:03You searched for her day and night.
00:28:06Now she's finally home and you treat her like a stranger, like an enemy.
00:28:12Why? Why?
00:28:16You two said the house fell to empty when Bella went missing.
00:28:21So I agreed to adopting Anna.
00:28:25But, now that she arrived, there has been no room left for Bella.
00:28:31You wouldn't even let her keep her own last name.
00:28:36Why do you despise your own daughter so much?
00:28:40Grandma, please don't.
00:28:43Don't do this.
00:28:44Come on, Mom.
00:28:45If you had only paid attention, you'd realize that she's a sweet and caring girl.
00:28:53You were always too occupied.
00:28:55She's the one who kept visiting and making sure that I was not alone.
00:29:02Bella knew about your shoulder pain.
00:29:04She taught herself massage and waited for you to come home so she would help you relax.
00:29:12Dad, does that help?
00:29:15Feeling a little bit better?
00:29:19And you! Every time you worked late.
00:29:22Wasn't it Bella who brought you dinner?
00:29:29Hey, Mom. I made you lunch.
00:29:32Can't you see I'm busy? Just leave it there.
00:29:39Just don't forget to eat, okay? Otherwise, you'll just get sick again.
00:29:56You're a beloved Anna.
00:29:59What has she ever given you back?
00:30:05Grandma, don't. It's not worth it.
00:30:07That love that was once mine, it belongs to Anna now.
00:30:12I'm just an outsider.
00:30:14She is such a good kid.
00:30:16Why do you despise her?
00:30:18Do you even have a heart?
00:30:21Fine!
00:30:22If you won't look for her, then I will!
00:30:25Okay, okay!
00:30:28Okay, Mom.
00:30:30I will look for her, I promise.
00:30:33Now, would you please just go back home?
00:30:35Alright?
00:30:39Make sure she gets home safe, okay?
00:30:42Let her sleep.
00:30:45Grandma.
00:30:47I love you.
00:30:50Evelyn.
00:30:52What if she's right?
00:30:53When's the last time we've seen Bella?
00:30:55When's the last time she answered our calls?
00:30:57What if something's actually happened to her?
00:31:00Oh, come on.
00:31:01First my mom's being dramatic, now you?
00:31:04We have a brutal murder to solve, can we please just act like professionals?
00:31:07You just told her that you're gonna go and look for her.
00:31:10We're just trying to keep her calm.
00:31:11What was I supposed to do?
00:31:13Well, Bella's gone off before, she'll come back.
00:31:15You know, she is just doing this because she wants attention.
00:31:17And I'm done, it's distracting, it's a waste of time.
00:31:22You know, she may as well be dead.
00:31:33You really think I went missing on proofs?
00:31:38All those times that I couldn't come home.
00:31:41It's not because I didn't want to.
00:31:54Anna, you really look at your sister in here.
00:31:58What happens when your parents find out?
00:32:00She's not my sister, they just took her in out of pity.
00:32:04Honestly, I think they'd be happier if she just died in there and never came back.
00:32:15What am I gonna do?
00:32:16I'm gonna miss the bus. Mom and Dad, they're gonna be so worried.
00:32:21Let's get out of there.
00:32:22Let's get out.
00:32:40Wait!
00:32:43Oh!
00:32:45Wait!
00:32:53Oh, it's back so soon!
00:32:55Impressive!
00:32:56Guess I didn't give you enough credit.
00:32:58That was you?
00:32:59Why would you do that to me?
00:33:03Because you should have never come back.
00:33:07Mom and Dad are mine.
00:33:09All mine.
00:33:09Anna, are you alright?
00:33:11Mom! Dad!
00:33:13What are you doing? Stop!
00:33:17Bella!
00:33:18Anna told us that you've been bullying her at school
00:33:21and that's why you were too afraid to come home because you knew she would tell us.
00:33:24You know, I never thought you would turn out to be such a bully.
00:33:27But look at you.
00:33:28I'm just so disappointed in you.
00:33:30No, I didn't bully her.
00:33:31She's the one who's been bullying me.
00:33:33She locked me in the restroom.
00:33:34Enough!
00:33:35How could you be like this?
00:33:36You, on the other hand, lying, jealous, cruel.
00:33:40Sometimes I wish you'd never been born.
00:33:44Sweetie.
00:33:45It's okay.
00:33:46Okay, okay, shh.
00:33:47Quiet, quiet.
00:33:54But you only ever trust Anna.
00:33:57Not me.
00:33:59You never believed me.
00:34:01Not once.
00:34:09Get some rest.
00:34:11Case has got you exhausted.
00:34:13I just want to get to the bottom of this.
00:34:16Her family must be desperate for answers.
00:34:19Too kind.
00:34:21You're always thinking of others.
00:34:24You're right.
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:37Hey.
00:34:40Where is Bella?
00:34:43Hmm.
00:34:43Good question.
00:34:44I haven't seen her in days.
00:34:46That girl.
00:34:47It's Christmas Eve and she can't even be bothered to be here.
00:34:50A kid that didn't grow up with us is always going to feel like a stranger.
00:34:54How can you say that?
00:34:56Bella's a sweet child.
00:34:58Sweet?
00:34:59She said she was tired of being a virgin and wanted to become a real woman.
00:35:03Tonight.
00:35:04On Christmas.
00:35:05She's probably in some guy's bed already.
00:35:08Little monster.
00:35:11Oh.
00:35:12That must be Bella now.
00:35:14Time to teach her a lesson.
00:35:34Oh.
00:35:44Must be a gift from the new neighbors.
00:35:46A Christmas gift.
00:35:47Let's open it.
00:35:48I'm dying to know what's inside.
00:35:51Even if it's a gift, we should all wait for Bella to come home and open it together.
00:36:00Open it.
00:36:01I can't wait to see what they made us.
00:36:08Oh.
00:36:09Oh.
00:36:11Wow.
00:36:12Oh.
00:36:12Do you think it's a roast turkey?
00:36:15From the neighbors?
00:36:17I do smell meat.
00:36:19Mmm.
00:36:21Open it.
00:36:22Come on.
00:36:23I want to see what goodies they made for us.
00:36:25You are all so wrapped up in yourselves.
00:36:28Did you even think about Bella?
00:36:31Not once.
00:36:32Grandma.
00:36:33I mean, it's Christmas.
00:36:35Stop bringing up that girl.
00:36:36She never treated us like family anyway.
00:36:39Yeah, Mom.
00:36:39It's Christmas Eve.
00:36:40Anna's right.
00:36:41Stop bringing her up.
00:36:43She's probably off at the orphanage hanging out with all of her old friends.
00:36:48I want to know what goodies are inside.
00:36:51That smell.
00:36:54It's not turkey, but it is something weirdly familiar.
00:36:59Maybe steak?
00:37:00No.
00:37:01It smells more like pork.
00:37:04You don't cook.
00:37:05Stop guessing.
00:37:06I'll open it.
00:37:09AHHHHH.
00:37:10AHHHHH.
00:37:12Hey, hey, what is it?
00:37:14Nightmare.
00:37:15I saw...
00:37:16I saw...
00:37:17Bella.
00:37:19You look like you've seen a corpse.
00:37:22I saw...
00:37:24Bella's...
00:37:27Never mind.
00:37:29Never mind, it was just a bad dream.
00:37:32Is Bella back yet?
00:37:34I should go check.
00:37:37Hey, she's 18.
00:37:38She can make her own choices.
00:37:40Besides, it's late.
00:37:41Where are you going to even go and find her?
00:37:43I just can't shake this feeling.
00:37:48Maybe something happened.
00:37:51Look, you're just stressed from the dismemberment case, okay?
00:37:55Get some rest, and we'll find her tomorrow.
00:37:59Okay, promise.
00:38:01Okay.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:04Have a break.
00:38:05Okay.
00:38:13Evelyn, Paul, we found what appears to be the victim's head.
00:38:17You need to come right away.
00:38:22Let's go.
00:38:32You're receiving an anonymous tip, and a god-awful smell is coming from the nair.
00:38:37Let's go check it out.
00:38:56Based on this blood splatter, I think it's obvious this is the crime scene.
00:39:01This is great work for just a couple of days.
00:39:04Substantial amount of evidence.
00:39:05I think we'll be closing this case sooner than we expected.
00:39:11George, you said you found the head.
00:39:13Where is it?
00:39:17It's in the pot.
00:39:24Paul.
00:39:25Paul.
00:39:25No!
00:39:26No!
00:39:30No, that's impossible.
00:39:36Paul, that!
00:39:37That's my head!
00:39:41That psychopath, he boiled the victim's head.
00:39:44He boiled my head?
00:39:45No!
00:39:47No!
00:39:48But it hurts!
00:39:51She was only 18.
00:39:53Same age as Anna.
00:39:55How could someone do something like this?
00:39:56Something so violent, so vicious.
00:39:59How are our parents going to be able to live with themselves after something like this?
00:40:03Yeah.
00:40:03We need to find this son of a bitch and get him in a cage.
00:40:06Otherwise, how the hell am I supposed to look the parents in the eye?
00:40:08George, I want every piece of surveillance footage from the block.
00:40:11And canvass the area.
00:40:13Nobody gets out.
00:40:15Understood.
00:40:17Evelyn, didn't your mother file a missing persons report just the other day?
00:40:22The victim's 18, right?
00:40:25You don't think it could be the case?
00:40:28Impossible.
00:40:29No, I called Bella earlier today.
00:40:32She hung up on me.
00:40:33No way it could be her.
00:40:35Bella.
00:40:36No, no way.
00:40:37That girl's got an unbreakable will.
00:40:39Kippy.
00:40:40It's not possible.
00:40:41Well, let's just run a DNA test.
00:40:43Just to be sure.
00:40:44George, we're already short on officers.
00:40:47Now you want to go wasting precious resources searching for that ungrateful kid?
00:40:51Focus on the real deeds.
00:40:52Right.
00:40:52I'm probably just overthinking it, right?
00:40:55Look, Evelyn.
00:40:57I can see it.
00:40:58You're worried about Bella.
00:40:59But why is it that you keep on acting like you're not?
00:41:05Look, let's just get the head and take it back to the lab and find the source of death.
00:41:11Dad!
00:41:12Dad!
00:41:14Dad, just hear me!
00:41:16Dad!
00:41:17Dad!
00:41:19Dad!
00:41:23Victim has multiple skull fractures, show sign of intracranial bleeding, cause of death,
00:41:30increased cranial pressure, leading to brain trauma and CNS failure.
00:41:36Mom, what happened to me?
00:41:38Mom, I don't understand.
00:41:40What?
00:41:40I don't understand, Mom.
00:41:43What's this?
00:41:44See, this mark, it's different.
00:41:46Different angle.
00:41:47She was knocked out before being dragged to that warehouse and tortured.
00:41:51What?
00:41:52What?
00:41:57Where are you?
00:41:58I'm here.
00:41:58I don't see you.
00:42:04Who did I call?
00:42:05I mean, why did I go there?
00:42:07I can't remember anything.
00:42:09I...
00:42:09Wait a second.
00:42:15What is this?
00:42:17What's this?
00:42:20St. John's Cathedral.
00:42:22That's my prayer card.
00:42:25So you actually put Paul and Evelyn on the church prayer list?
00:42:30How sweet.
00:42:32Oh, you'd rather die than be a burden to them.
00:42:36Oh, since you're so devoted, let's see how long it takes for them to find your gift.
00:42:45Megan, call Paul.
00:42:47Megan, call Paul.
00:42:47Tell him we have a new lead at St. John's Cathedral.
00:42:50Yes, ma'am.
00:42:52Detective Hart, we found a new lead.
00:42:54St. John's Cathedral.
00:42:55Go ahead and bag it.
00:42:58Megan, start scanning for facial reconstruction.
00:43:01Send it over to Tech.
00:43:02Got it.
00:43:07That girl, always so quiet.
00:43:09Whenever she came, she prayed all day for her parents.
00:43:15The prayer list had their names on it.
00:43:18Wait here.
00:43:19I will go get the card.
00:43:22Thanks, Father.
00:43:33She said her parents were heroes, the kind who kept people safe.
00:43:38Their job was dangerous, so she came here to pray that God would watch over them.
00:43:44This is not right.
00:43:47This can't be.
00:43:57What I found.
00:44:06Her names.
00:44:08The priest said a young girl ordered it for us.
00:44:09Mom, Dad, that's my prayer card.
00:44:12I prayed for you.
00:44:13You're finally going to realize that I am the one who's dead.
00:44:25Dear Heavenly Father, please protect my mom and dad.
00:44:29They're the best people I know, and they have a very dangerous job.
00:44:33If danger comes to show, please, let me face it.
00:44:36I would give my life for theirs.
00:44:46A young girl, her mother, Evelyn, and father, Paul, you don't think it could be...
00:44:52It's me.
00:44:53It's me.
00:44:54It must be from Anna.
00:44:57It must be from Anna.
00:44:59Who else?
00:45:00I mean, only Anna's that thoughtful.
00:45:02I better even think that you would think of me.
00:45:04You don't care about me.
00:45:06You only care about Anna.
00:45:08It's always about Anna.
00:45:11But why would the prayer card be found inside the victim's mouth?
00:45:15Unless the killer's taunting us.
00:45:19And the next victim...
00:45:23Anna.
00:45:24No.
00:45:30Anna.
00:45:32Mommy, Daddy, you're home early.
00:45:34Oh, my sweet girl.
00:45:38We saw the prayer card that you left for us at St. John's Cathedral.
00:45:41We are so lucky to have you.
00:45:43Prayer card?
00:45:44What prayer card?
00:45:45The prayer card.
00:45:46I mean, if you didn't write it, then who did?
00:45:51Could it have been Bella?
00:45:54Oh, that was me.
00:45:56I didn't want you to find out, but I guess you found out anyway.
00:46:00I knew you'd do something thoughtful like that.
00:46:03Listen, we found the card inside the victim's mouth.
00:46:06That means the killer could be tugged in you next.
00:46:09So just don't go anywhere.
00:46:11Stay at home.
00:46:12What?
00:46:12But my competition's this afternoon.
00:46:15Anna, no competition is worth your life.
00:46:18So please, sweetheart, just listen to us.
00:46:20So this is my family.
00:46:22She's your whole world, and I'm just forgotten.
00:46:26To us aside, even in death.
00:46:30Mom, Dad, I wonder when you realize that I'm dead and that prayer card is mine.
00:46:37How will you feel?
00:46:40But you know how important this competition is to me.
00:46:42I have to go.
00:46:43Anna, please stop fighting us on this.
00:46:45We're just trying to protect you.
00:46:47If you really cared about me, you would have never brought Bella back.
00:46:50She was trouble when she was alive, and now she's in more trouble now that she's dead.
00:46:53What did you say?
00:46:56Anna, who's dead?
00:46:57What happened to Bella?
00:47:00What?
00:47:04Anna, how does she know that I'm dead?
00:47:06I, Mom, I, God, my head, my, why can't I remember anything?
00:47:13I didn't mean that.
00:47:14I saw Bella last night.
00:47:16I tried to talk to her, but she just yelled at me.
00:47:19I only cursed her because I was mad.
00:47:20I'm sorry.
00:47:22That girl, always bullying her sister.
00:47:25What?
00:47:26No, no, Mom, Dad, she's lying.
00:47:29Please.
00:47:30Anna, Anna, why are you lying?
00:47:32What are you hiding?
00:47:35Mom, Dad, if you come with me to the competition, then nothing bad will happen.
00:47:39She has a point.
00:47:41The competition means so much to her.
00:47:44But the case is still not closed.
00:47:47It won't take long.
00:47:49And Tech is still doing data recovery and facial reconstruction.
00:47:53We won't stay long.
00:47:55Hmm?
00:47:56Fine.
00:48:01I used to beg you to come to my compositions.
00:48:04But if I Anna, you'll just throw anything away.
00:48:08Even a murder case.
00:48:13So it's true.
00:48:15You love her more than me.
00:48:27Paul, come back fast.
00:48:29The victim's facial reconstruction has just come through.
00:48:31I can't now.
00:48:32I'm taking care of Anna first.
00:48:34Anna, are you out of your mind?
00:48:35Do you know who the victim is?
00:48:38Who?
00:48:38It's Bella.
00:48:40What?
00:48:44What took you so long?
00:48:46George, you're joking, right?
00:48:49See for yourself.
00:48:53No, that's...
00:48:55That's not Bella.
00:48:57The eyes, they're too big.
00:49:00And her mouth is too small.
00:49:02Oh, it's me.
00:49:04Yeah, Ellen, come on.
00:49:06You've been a forensic car and long enough to know that facial reconstruction is not perfect.
00:49:11But it's at least 90% accurate.
00:49:14Exactly.
00:49:16Only 90%.
00:49:17How can we be sure that's Bella?
00:49:19This body, it's been dead for three days.
00:49:22Anna said she saw her just yesterday.
00:49:24It can't be her.
00:49:25Right, Paul?
00:49:27Dad, Dad, you recognize your daughter, right?
00:49:30It's not her.
00:49:32It's just someone that looks like her, George.
00:49:36It's a look-alike.
00:49:39Your mother filed a missing persons report just three days ago.
00:49:43Bella's been missing for more than three days.
00:49:46How can you just accept Anna's word for it?
00:49:49She says she saw Bella and you just believe it?
00:49:52Anna would never lie.
00:49:55She wouldn't.
00:49:58Anna always lies.
00:50:00Just listen to him, please.
00:50:02George, you know the rules.
00:50:04Evidence has to be rock solid.
00:50:06We cannot base this up at 90% facial reconstruction.
00:50:10It doesn't cut it, okay?
00:50:10I'm not going to gamble my daughter's life on a 90% almost.
00:50:15Fine.
00:50:18If you won't believe the facial reconstruction,
00:50:23we'll wait for DNA to confirm it.
00:50:32She's going to be okay.
00:50:33She went missing for 11 years and she came back.
00:50:36Yeah, you're right.
00:50:38It's not her.
00:50:39She's probably off somewhere just watching us panic.
00:50:43Yeah.
00:50:44Mom, Dad, are you really trying to reason this out?
00:50:48Are you just not facing the truth?
00:50:50So, Dan, there's no result, sorry.
00:50:56No.
00:50:57No.
00:50:58Bella.
00:51:00This can't be right.
00:51:02How can it be Bella?
00:51:04What's it?
00:51:09It can't be Bella.
00:51:12But the lab, they must have mixed up the results.
00:51:14Just tell me it's a mistake, Paul.
00:51:17Tell me it's a mistake.
00:51:19Evelyn, you collected the samples yourself.
00:51:22Are you telling me you honestly believe you made a mistake?
00:51:26It's me, Dad.
00:51:29It's your daughter.
00:51:31No.
00:51:33It's not her.
00:51:35George, how many people in LA have got the same name as Bella?
00:51:37Come on.
00:51:39Paul.
00:51:41Come on.
00:51:42After all your years in homicide,
00:51:46the evidence points to it.
00:51:48This is your daughter.
00:51:50The victim is Bella.
00:51:52Face it.
00:51:53No.
00:51:55No, it can't be.
00:51:56Anna.
00:51:57Anna saw her alive yesterday.
00:51:59It can't be her.
00:52:00She's alive.
00:52:02She's alive.
00:52:04Wake up, Bella.
00:52:05Wake up.
00:52:06Please wake up.
00:52:07You're just pretending right, sweetheart.
00:52:08Wake up.
00:52:09Please wake up.
00:52:10Wake up, baby.
00:52:12I can't wake up, Paul.
00:52:14Wake up.
00:52:15I want to wake up.
00:52:16I can't.
00:52:21End the night.
00:52:22Please, you've got to calm down.
00:52:24Don't you tell me to calm down.
00:52:26My child is dead.
00:52:27How do I calm down?
00:52:30Paul.
00:52:31Bella.
00:52:32Please.
00:52:33Open your eyes.
00:52:36Baby, it's daddy.
00:52:40Dad.
00:52:41Mom.
00:52:42So you can't really cry for me?
00:52:45The scar.
00:52:47I remember, I remember, I remember, it's from when Bella first came home.
00:52:56BT, Bella Dawson, it was all right here.
00:53:00How could I miss it?
00:53:02I might have seen my old daughter.
00:53:07Where's Bella?
00:53:09Where's Bella?
00:53:12Where's Bella?
00:53:14Where's Bella?
00:53:16Where's Bella?
00:53:28Where's Bella?
00:53:30That's all. Come on.
00:53:31Last time I saw her, she was laughing, Joe.
00:53:34She was laughing.
00:53:35She was laughing. She was alive.
00:53:37And now she's dead on this ball.
00:53:40She's dead on this table.
00:53:42He's dead.
00:53:44Oh, baby, please. I'm sorry.
00:53:46So sorry.
00:53:48I'll never be hard on you again.
00:53:51I'm so sorry.
00:53:52I'm so sorry.
00:53:57I don't understand.
00:54:00All those times that you wanted me gone and you wanted me dead.
00:54:06Well, you got what you wanted, so why are you crying now?
00:54:09Hey.
00:54:11Come on, man. You better keep it together.
00:54:14For me to find the guy that did this to her.
00:54:18You're right. You're right.
00:54:23I'm going to fucking find the piece of shit that killed my daughter.
00:54:27Have we pulled every piece of footage from the block?
00:54:30It was Anna, Dad. It was Anna. Go find Anna.
00:54:33Santa Monica's a tough neighborhood.
00:54:36All kinds of people there.
00:54:38We just received the CCTV footage.
00:54:41Team's reviewing it right now.
00:54:43I swear to fucking God, I'm going to find the monster that killed my daughter.
00:54:47Good.
00:54:50All hands on deck.
00:54:52Right.
00:54:53Let's move.
00:54:56Alice, sweetheart.
00:54:58How can it be you?
00:55:00All these cuts.
00:55:02The way he tortured you.
00:55:04When you first came home,
00:55:07dirty and lost,
00:55:08looking like a stray.
00:55:09I promised your father that I would never let that happen to you again.
00:55:15But somewhere along the way, we lost that.
00:55:18I hated the way that you lied and
00:55:21all your sneaky little habits
00:55:23and the way that you bullied Anna behind our backs.
00:55:26Sweetheart,
00:55:27I never stopped loving you.
00:55:29We just wanted you to be better.
00:55:31If only you'd listen.
00:55:35Mom!
00:55:37Do you really think that I'm this bad?
00:55:40You have no idea how happy I was when I came home.
00:55:44And I was so afraid of losing you,
00:55:47I tiptoed around you.
00:55:49But Anna, Anna,
00:55:51she always hated me.
00:55:52She never tried to hide it.
00:55:55And still, I kept crying.
00:55:58For you.
00:55:59For Dad.
00:56:01I wanted to make you happy,
00:56:03so I tried everything to make her happy.
00:56:12Anna!
00:56:12Anna!
00:56:13Here, take my coat.
00:56:14It's cold outside.
00:56:15Oh, you know,
00:56:16I don't want your peasant clothes.
00:56:17They stink.
00:56:18But you're gonna get sick!
00:56:20Whatever!
00:56:21Anna!
00:56:22But no matter how hard I've tried,
00:56:25you never saw me.
00:56:27You only saw Anna.
00:56:30Mom, Bella stole my coat.
00:56:32She said that I couldn't wear the same clothes as her,
00:56:35and that I didn't belong in this family.
00:56:38She wanted me to freeze to death.
00:56:41No, no, that's not true.
00:56:43Bella, how could you do something like that to your sister?
00:56:45Sister, you were gone for years.
00:56:49Anna, Anna was here by our side.
00:56:53If anyone belongs in this family,
00:56:55it's not you.
00:56:57It's her.
00:57:02You almost saw Anna.
00:57:05Maybe I should have never come back.
00:57:07Maybe you don't love me.
00:57:22I found something.
00:57:27Zoom in there.
00:57:31It's her.
00:57:32It's really Bella.
00:57:41That's me.
00:57:43Dad!
00:57:44Dad!
00:57:45Dad, that's me!
00:57:47It's right before she died.
00:57:51Fast forward.
00:57:52Let's see who shows up right after this.
00:57:59Anna.
00:58:03What is Anna doing here so late?
00:58:08Bella, get over here.
00:58:09I hurt my ankles.
00:58:11Go get me.
00:58:12Okay, I'm still at work.
00:58:13Can I come in a little bit?
00:58:14No, come now.
00:58:15Or I'll tell Mom and Dad.
00:58:17You know what happens if you don't.
00:58:20Okay, I'm on my way.
00:58:25Anna, where are you?
00:58:26I'm here.
00:58:26I don't see you.
00:58:27Keep walking.
00:58:28To the end.
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:33Oh!
00:58:55Daddy will be so proud.
00:58:57I finally found you.
00:59:03Let's have some fun.
00:59:13Oh, bitch, die.
00:59:15Pay for your parents.
00:59:16No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:59:18I'm only their adopted daughter.
00:59:20If you really want to hurt Paul and Evelyn, you should go after their real daughter.
00:59:23Bella.
00:59:24You mean you're not their real daughter?
00:59:26No, I don't have anything to do with those two hypocrites.
00:59:30If you want revenge, go after their real daughter.
00:59:34And I'll help you.
00:59:36I'll bring her to you.
00:59:38And if you kill her, I'll pay you $100,000.
00:59:45We're all getting angry.
00:59:54That's her.
00:59:55Paul and Evelyn's precious daughter.
00:59:59Their own blood.
01:00:01We had a deal.
01:00:02I bring her to you.
01:00:04You don't come after me.
01:00:06When you go home, you remember what to say, what not to say.
01:00:11And don't forget my money.
01:00:13You have my word?
01:00:16I remember it.
01:00:18I remember it all.
01:00:20Dad, Dad, I remember it.
01:00:22It was Anna.
01:00:23Anna.
01:00:23It was Anna.
01:00:25Anna killed me.
01:00:31Anna, what are you doing here?
01:00:33Mom, didn't you ask Uncle George to pick me up?
01:00:36You killed me.
01:00:37You fucking murderer.
01:00:39You're supposed to be my sister.
01:00:41Guess what?
01:00:42I won first place.
01:00:43They're even having an awards ceremony at school tomorrow.
01:00:46Even without us there, you still managed to shine.
01:00:49Mom, I didn't want to disappoint you.
01:00:51I wanted you guys to have a champion daughter.
01:00:54No, Mom.
01:00:56George, why bring her here?
01:00:58After everything that happened, it's not a place for a child to take her home.
01:01:02Mom, she can't go yet.
01:01:04Dad, what's wrong?
01:01:08December 22nd, 9 p.m.
01:01:13The night of your sister's incident.
01:01:15Where were you?
01:01:17Um, December 22nd, I, I was home.
01:01:24Why?
01:01:26Did something happen to Bella?
01:01:28Now do you explain this?
01:01:30You were there.
01:01:31In Santa Monica.
01:01:39Mom, I'm scared.
01:01:40I don't know what Dad and Uncle George are talking about.
01:01:43I had nothing to do with Bella's death.
01:01:44I don't know anything.
01:01:47Oh, that's Anna.
01:01:48Our daughter.
01:01:49She couldn't have done this to Bella.
01:01:51Come on, she's just a child.
01:01:53You're scaring her.
01:01:54Flynn, she's a major suspect.
01:01:57Okay, don't forget your home.
01:01:58I'll corner first, then mother.
01:02:02Look, if she's innocent, we'll prove it.
01:02:05She's guilty.
01:02:08Is it justice?
01:02:10Yeah, she's your daughter, but so is Bella.
01:02:13That's your flesh and blood.
01:02:15But she was crying out that nobody was there.
01:02:18Look, Anna, we have you on video.
01:02:21I don't even know how that video exists.
01:02:24Look, we know you were at Santa Monica,
01:02:27and we know that you called Bella.
01:02:29How do you explain that?
01:02:32I saw Bella and Santa Monica with some thug.
01:02:35I think she was living with him.
01:02:37I called to tell her to come home,
01:02:39but she wouldn't listen.
01:02:42Liar!
01:02:43You know, she brought this upon herself.
01:02:45Her dirty photos were everywhere,
01:02:47and her attitude, I mean,
01:02:49she made enemies every day.
01:02:51I bet the thug is the one that killed her.
01:02:56No, Mom, Dad, don't believe her!
01:02:59Anna's not like Bella.
01:03:01She's sweet, she's kind, she doesn't lie.
01:03:04We have to believe her.
01:03:06Oh, Dad, please!
01:03:09She's the one who killed me!
01:03:11Look, the two of you are family.
01:03:14You guys can't be part of the interrogation.
01:03:17Please step up.
01:03:25Look, you're exhausted.
01:03:27Why don't you go home and get some rest?
01:03:29How could I sleep?
01:03:32Every time I close my eyes, I see Bella's face.
01:03:37I...
01:03:37So, Anna's DNA wasn't found at the crime scene.
01:03:42And she has an alibi.
01:03:44She wasn't there when Bella died.
01:03:47She's innocent.
01:03:51Let her go.
01:03:53So, you still choose Anna over me?
01:03:57She'll always be your favorite.
01:04:00Oh, Dad, I was so scared.
01:04:03Oh, it's okay.
01:04:04It's okay.
01:04:05You can go home now.
01:04:07The award ceremony for my competition is this afternoon.
01:04:11Anna, we don't know who the killer is yet,
01:04:13and we don't have the time or energy to go and do something like this.
01:04:17You missed my competition.
01:04:18Now you're going to miss this.
01:04:19What's everyone going to think of me?
01:04:22Anna, your sister was just murdered.
01:04:24Is that all you can think about, your competition?
01:04:27She was always breaking your rules and paying out with losers.
01:04:30She brought this on herself.
01:04:32Anna, we don't know the truth yet.
01:04:35That's your sister.
01:04:37Why don't you talk about her like this?
01:04:41I'm sorry.
01:04:42I didn't mean it.
01:04:44I just...
01:04:45I just miss her so much.
01:04:49Mom, don't worry.
01:04:51I'll always take care of you.
01:04:53That's my sweet Anna.
01:04:56Come on, let's go home.
01:04:59Mom, why do you still defend her?
01:05:03Paul, we gotta hit on the killer's location.
01:05:06We gotta go.
01:05:13Yeah, we just got Anna's phone records back.
01:05:16There's a suspicious contact.
01:05:18An ex-con released from prison three years ago.
01:05:22For now, we'll let Anna walk.
01:05:25Yeah, I suspect she's going to lead us to the killer.
01:05:29Yes, sir.
01:05:30All right, let me know if you find her.
01:05:57Take the move!
01:05:59Ah!
01:06:00Three!
01:06:00Hey! Get down!
01:06:04Oh, Jack.
01:06:06I knew your father.
01:06:18It's you!
01:06:24Well, if it isn't Detective Paul and the famous corn.
01:06:31Evelyn Hart!
01:06:33You were so high and mighty before.
01:06:37Look at you now.
01:06:38Pathetic.
01:06:43You butchered my daughter!
01:06:45And you're laughing?
01:06:48You're a monster!
01:06:50That's it.
01:06:51I am a monster!
01:06:55You arrested my daddy, and you gave him the death penalty!
01:06:58Didn't you think this day would ever come?
01:07:01He deserved it!
01:07:04If you wanted revenge, come after us!
01:07:06Why?
01:07:07Why go after her?
01:07:08She's innocent!
01:07:09She was only 18 years old!
01:07:11She didn't do anything wrong!
01:07:13No, no, no, no.
01:07:14She did something wrong.
01:07:16Well, she was born your daughter.
01:07:23You know, you...
01:07:24She treated the two of you like you were...
01:07:27Gods.
01:07:27So, I said, just curse them.
01:07:31Call them monsters.
01:07:32Anything.
01:07:33So that you don't have to suffer so much.
01:07:37You know, she said...
01:07:38She said,
01:07:40My mom and dad.
01:07:41They're my heroes.
01:07:44Even as she died,
01:07:46she defended you.
01:07:47She was so tough.
01:07:51So, I cut out her tongue.
01:07:54You fucking...
01:07:56You kill me, you fucking psycho!
01:08:02My baby girl.
01:08:04My baby girl.
01:08:06She must have suffered so terribly.
01:08:10I'll fucking kill you.
01:08:12I'll kill you, you fucking...
01:08:14David, I'll fucking kill you.
01:08:16I'll kill you.
01:08:17Right after I cut out her tongue,
01:08:19you called.
01:08:21You said...
01:08:22You told her off.
01:08:23And you said...
01:08:24You regretted...
01:08:25Bringing her back into the family.
01:08:28Oh, poor child.
01:08:30She didn't even speak.
01:08:31She didn't even cry for help.
01:08:37Bella, what are you doing?
01:08:39Oh, the cat cut your tongue.
01:08:41You know, I swear,
01:08:42I regret taking you back so much.
01:08:46It's why she couldn't speak.
01:08:47It's why she couldn't answer.
01:08:51That was her last call, wasn't it?
01:08:54That was the last time
01:08:56she heard your voice.
01:08:59What was it?
01:09:01You called her an ungrateful brat?
01:09:07You two are the real monsters here.
01:09:10But what parents talk like that?
01:09:12No.
01:09:13I almost felt pity for her.
01:09:15You people are so cold,
01:09:17so cruel.
01:09:18You're not worthy of her.
01:09:20So I
01:09:21put her out of her misery.
01:09:23And you two
01:09:24can regret it
01:09:25for the rest of your lives.
01:09:29Oh, yo!
01:09:32Oh, look now.
01:09:34Look.
01:09:34Oh, pretend to be grieving.
01:09:36What?
01:09:36You want to be good parents now?
01:09:38Who are you trying to fool?
01:09:44Oh, that's it!
01:09:46Scream!
01:09:47I want you to run in guilt!
01:09:49Yes!
01:09:55Everyone!
01:09:56Everyone!
01:09:57Mom!
01:09:57Hey, get a doctor!
01:09:59Call an ambulance!
01:10:00Mom!
01:10:01It's an ambulance!
01:10:02It's an ambulance!
01:10:03Dad!
01:10:04Dad!
01:10:04Listen to me!
01:10:05Dad!
01:10:06Dad!
01:10:06The ambulance!
01:10:07I'm getting here inside!
01:10:08Please!
01:10:09The pills!
01:10:09The pills are in her pocket!
01:10:11Dad!
01:10:12Who's getting the pills?
01:10:13Can somebody please
01:10:14fucking hear me?
01:10:22Mom.
01:10:26You're awake.
01:10:29You're awake.
01:10:30It's love.
01:10:32Ah.
01:10:34Look, you can't get emotional
01:10:35like that again.
01:10:37If it wasn't for these pills
01:10:38in your pocket,
01:10:39I would have lost you too.
01:10:51This one's for her stomach
01:10:53and this one's for her heart.
01:10:56Mommy's so busy.
01:10:57She always forgets to take her medicine.
01:11:10Mom.
01:11:13I saw his hand working.
01:11:15I saw his hand working.
01:11:15Even in death, she saved me.
01:11:20She was so thoughtful
01:11:25that I didn't see it.
01:11:26Mom.
01:11:27They kept pretending.
01:11:29I kept hurting.
01:11:36We traced the large deposit
01:11:38to the kidnapper's account.
01:11:39The sender tried to be clever.
01:11:41It was made via ADM.
01:11:44Someone tried to cover their tracks.
01:11:46But we found the camera footage.
01:11:48The only one who made the deposit
01:11:50was Anna.
01:11:52What?
01:11:52Right.
01:11:55So now, please welcome
01:11:56the champion of this year's
01:11:58state piano competition.
01:12:00Anna.
01:12:02She will be representing
01:12:04our school at the national finals.
01:12:06I'm so proud of you.
01:12:07Thank you so much.
01:12:08Thank you, everyone.
01:12:10My parents couldn't be here tonight
01:12:12because of work,
01:12:12but Mom, Dad,
01:12:14you're my heroes.
01:12:16And I hope I'm your hero too.
01:12:19Everything I've accomplished
01:12:20is because of you guys.
01:12:22I will always be
01:12:23your most beloved daughter.
01:12:28Mom, Dad, you're here.
01:12:30Look, I won.
01:12:59I'm sorry, Anna.
01:13:01You're under a race
01:13:02for conspiracy to commit murder.
01:13:03What?
01:13:04No, no.
01:13:06There's been a mistake, Mom.
01:13:07I didn't do it.
01:13:08I swear.
01:13:09Please, call me.
01:13:10I'm sorry.
01:13:11The kidnapper confessed.
01:13:13He said that you,
01:13:15Lord Ballad of Santa Monica,
01:13:16you offered him $100,000
01:13:19to kill her.
01:13:21At first,
01:13:22I took the adopted daughter,
01:13:24but she swore
01:13:25that her parents
01:13:27loved the real daughter
01:13:29way more.
01:13:30She even offered to help.
01:13:32She said she would
01:13:33bring her sister over to me.
01:13:35So, I meant to kill her.
01:13:38And then I...
01:13:40You know why?
01:13:42Because I realized
01:13:45that when the parents
01:13:47found out
01:13:47that the adopted daughter
01:13:50had helped kill
01:13:51the real daughter,
01:13:53the pain would never end.
01:14:07No, he's framing me.
01:14:09Please, Mom.
01:14:10I'm the only daughter
01:14:11you have left.
01:14:11You have to believe me.
01:14:15We have proof, Anna.
01:14:17What do you have to say
01:14:17for yourself?
01:14:18Why?
01:14:19We welcomed you
01:14:21into our family.
01:14:22I loved you
01:14:23like my daughter.
01:14:24We never,
01:14:25never put Bella
01:14:26ahead of you.
01:14:28How could you
01:14:29want her dead?
01:14:30Weren't you the ones
01:14:31that said she'd be
01:14:32better off dead?
01:14:33That it'd be better
01:14:34if she'd never come back?
01:14:35I just...
01:14:36I was just trying
01:14:37to give you
01:14:37what you wanted.
01:14:40Bullshit!
01:14:42You framed her!
01:14:43I talked to
01:14:44Bella's classmates.
01:14:45It was you!
01:14:46You bullied her.
01:14:48You stole from us
01:14:49and you blamed it all
01:14:50on her.
01:14:50It was you
01:14:51the whole time!
01:14:53Maybe I did
01:14:54frame her.
01:14:55But you're the ones
01:14:56who believed me.
01:14:57Every single time
01:14:59you threw her out,
01:15:00that's on you!
01:15:01Oh, you vicious
01:15:02little snake!
01:15:03You give me
01:15:04my daughter back!
01:15:05You give me
01:15:06my Bella back!
01:15:07Please give me
01:15:08my son.
01:15:09You still don't get it,
01:15:10do you?
01:15:12You're the ones
01:15:13that killed Bella.
01:15:16It's good.
01:15:17laughing at me!
01:15:32Give me my baby!
01:15:33Ben, please...
01:15:38please don't cry,
01:15:39please don't cry, mom.
01:15:41Come on.
01:15:43Fuck!
01:15:45Fuck!
01:15:46Fuck!
01:15:46Fuck!
01:15:46Fuck!
01:15:47Can you hear me?
01:15:49Are you here, Belle?
01:15:50I hear you.
01:15:53Where are you?
01:15:55Mom, I'm here.
01:16:01Do you see me?
01:16:03I see you, Belle.
01:16:05I have to go now.
01:16:07My time has come.
01:16:11Maybe if there's a next life,
01:16:14I'll get a second chance.
01:16:17I'm sorry.
01:16:19Please forgive me.
01:16:21Please.
01:16:22Please forgive me.
01:16:24Please forgive me.
01:16:28No, please.
01:16:30Bella, please don't leave me.
01:16:32Don't leave us.
01:16:33Daddy, sorry.
01:16:37Forgive me, Bella, please.
01:16:41Please don't leave me here, please.
01:16:51Mom?
01:16:53Dad?
01:16:56Goodbye.
01:16:59Please don't leave me here.
01:17:01Please don't leave me here.
01:17:03Mum?
01:17:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:06Why?
01:17:07Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:09Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:16I never got you a Christmas present when you came back home.
01:17:22Mommy's going to make that up to you now.
01:17:31You always wanted a new phone, didn't you?
01:17:35Look.
01:17:37Do you like this one?
01:17:51Who are these gifts from?
01:17:56It's from Bella.
01:18:06Merry Christmas, Dad.
01:18:08Next year, I'll be in college, and I won't be here to help you every day with your shoulder.
01:18:13So I saved my work money, and I bought you a massager.
01:18:15And even when I'm gone, I hope this will make you feel better.
01:18:20Bella.
01:18:22I'm so sorry, Bella.
01:18:27I hurt you the most.
01:18:33I hurt you.
01:18:46Merry Christmas, Mom.
01:18:48I know you've been having trouble sleeping lately, and I hope this candle helps you rest better.
01:18:52Sweet dreams.
01:18:53Love, Bella.
01:18:56Oh, Bella.
01:18:59It's all my fault.
01:19:02I'm sorry, Bella.
01:19:04Mommy is so sorry.
01:19:07I'm so sorry, Bella.
01:19:11Please forgive me, baby, please.
01:19:14I'm so sorry.
01:19:16I'm so sorry.
01:19:18You can't keep torturing yourself like this.
01:19:21You'll never find peace.
01:19:27What are you talking about, Mom?
01:19:35Bella's not gone.
01:19:38She's just taking a nap.
01:19:47She's sleeping like an angel.
01:19:53My babe.
01:19:56My babe.
01:19:59My beautiful baby girl.
01:20:02She's my girl.
01:20:04Ah.
