00:04This isn't right. Chelsea would never ghost her own launch like that.
00:10She's been grinding for months, sweating every detail.
00:13Complete radio silence. Her team can't even reach her.
00:16Comments are blowing up all in her Instagram feed. Everybody's shook.
00:21Chelsea's not gone because she wants to be. I can feel it.
00:24Yeah, I sent a text to the family group thread for updates.
00:27And?
00:28Nothing beyond Chelsea being a missing person.
00:31Hey, you know, why don't we wait a beat and see what happens, okay?
00:36We don't know what we don't know.
00:41Those guys are blowing up right now. Where's Chelsea? It's trending.
00:46Do you guys have any real info?
00:48They shut down the launch. That's all we know. And Pop's been on the phone since we left.
00:52Hey, hold that thought. I'm on the phone with Mom.
00:55She's coordinating with everyone to figure out what happened.
00:58Okay. You were saying.
01:02You, uh, you won again.
01:04You're really in your bag, big bro. Congrats.
01:06Nobody cares about a trophy.
01:09Our cousin could be in trouble and we don't even know what happened to her.
01:12What if it's something, like, really bad?
01:18You're ruining it. You're supposed to be the love of my life, so stop being an ungrateful bitch.
01:24I am the one who decides when this is over.
01:28Do you have any idea what I went through to make this perfect?
01:31It was all curated for your special taste. The lavender-scented candles that you use at your self-care Sunday
01:37post, the wine that you serve at all of your celebrations, the food from Uptown, all of your favorites.
01:42That's how much I care about you, Chelsea.
01:44You really think stalking my socials and memorizing every aspect of my life makes this a love story?
01:50Newsflash, it makes you a lunatic.
01:52This isn't love. It's psychotic.
01:55You got me chained up in here like we're in a low-budget horror movie.
01:58Always the influencer making everything so dramatic.
02:04You're missing the bigger picture here, baby. This is our opportunity to reconnect, to fix what went wrong, and to
02:09finally be on the same page.
02:10You're a fanko!
02:50So good.
02:53Right?
02:54I can't believe I slept on this movie.
02:56Me, the girl who's seen every single thing Queen Bee's ever touched.
03:01Even the epic Coachella performance?
03:04Five times, honey. Got every dance move memorized.
03:09Oh my God.
03:11Look, I really could sub in for any of those dancers at this point.
03:15Same!
03:16Though, I've probably watched this movie even more.
03:20Okay, and is that for Beyonce or Idris?
03:25Listen, when God was handing out fine, Idris got in line twice.
03:33Would you like a spot of tea for that thirst, darling?
03:37First of all, don't waste the snacks.
03:40And second, you need to work on that accent, darling.
03:43Well, it seems like this movie isn't the only thing giving up says.
03:49Guilty as charged.
03:52It's no way that I would have had this much fun if I was still pregnant.
03:59God, Haley, I'm so sorry you went through that.
04:04But I appreciate it.
04:05And you.
04:07It's nice having a real friend when I've basically been blacklisted from all things Dupree.
04:13But, you know, who needs their bougie-ass events anyway?
04:16I'd rather watch paint dry.
04:18I would too.
04:19As long as shirtless Idris was the one doing the painting.
04:22I can't with you.
04:29Good luck with the FBI guy.
04:31Buchanan, if there are any strings to pull, we'll get it done.
04:35Chelsea's coming home to us.
04:36You hold on to that.
04:37I'm home.
05:00Hey.
05:02Your parents going to work their magic?
05:04Yeah.
05:05You know them.
05:06They're all the way on it.
05:07I'm using every connection, including the feds.
05:10Yeah.
05:11God, Bill.
05:13All those fights I had with Chelsea.
05:15Why was I so hard on her?
05:17No, baby, no.
05:18No, stop that.
05:20All right?
05:20Look.
05:21You've been an amazing mother.
05:23You don't have anything to regret.
05:27Me, on the other hand.
05:32I know I could have been more present.
05:35Chelsea always felt like I favored Naomi.
05:37And that, that wasn't true.
05:39You know, I loved them both the same.
05:43I don't know.
05:44Maybe I never knew how to show it.
05:48Hey.
05:50She is going to be fine.
05:52Okay?
05:53We just have to have faith that our girl's coming home soon.
05:57Okay?
06:05My God, I hope she's okay.
06:07What has my queen looking so troubled this evening?
06:10The Dupree's.
06:11Danny's daughter, Chelsea, was supposed to be at her purse launch this evening, but something's wrong.
06:21You don't really care about that, do you?
06:25What I care about is why you called me here.
06:29But seeing you in that outfit makes the trip over worthwhile.
06:33You clean up pretty well yourself.
06:36Though I was starting to think you were standing me up.
06:40Oh, I had a situation at the casino.
06:42You know, some Harvard MBA decided he could count cards at my table.
06:48Ivy League education and the street smarts of a toddler, so I had to straighten him out.
06:54Am I afraid to ask?
06:57He won't be playing those odds at my place anytime soon.
07:02Now, why don't you tell me why you called?
07:05What's the urgency?
07:06Let me at least get you a drink first.
07:08You know, your money is no good around me.
07:10You know that.
07:12Why don't you tell me what's wrong?
07:15I think we should pull back from whatever this is.
07:18Look, I'll admit, at first it stung being excluded from the Dupree's inner circle,
07:23especially after being accepted the way I had been.
07:26But now, I'm so over those people and they're holier-than-thou-ness.
07:31Trust me, I am sleeping just fine.
07:36So, you're telling me that there's not even a tiny part of you that feels something when Bill's with Danny,
07:44like tonight at Chelsea's launch?
07:48You can be honest, Haley.
07:49It's just us here.
07:50It's his daughter's event.
07:52What am I supposed to do, throw a fit every time he needs to co-parent?
07:56I'm not that desperate woman trying to keep her husband away from his kids.
08:01Everyone's on edge, waiting for news.
08:04How's Danny handling it?
08:06How do you think?
08:08She's falling apart at the seams.
08:10Bill and Naomi are in the kitchen trying to convince her to eat something,
08:13but you know how Danny is when she's scared.
08:15She's already imagining the worst.
08:17Speaking of Naomi.
08:18She's trying to be strong, but I can see right through it.
08:23It's her sister, after all.
08:27Mother and Daddy just left to go speak to one of their contacts at the FBI.
08:32Let me help, Mom.
08:33I have direct contacts at all the major tech companies.
08:36Apple, Google, Meta.
08:38We can trace her digital footprint.
08:40Thank you, Martin.
08:41Really.
08:44Tyrell and Samantha?
08:47Here, with Smitty and me.
08:49I'm close tonight.
08:50For me.
08:52We're going to find Chelsea, Mom.
08:54Whatever it takes.
08:56Pop, what's happening?
08:59Based on what they found at Chelsea and Katz,
09:02they think Chelsea has been kidnapped.
09:05What?
09:06Are you for real?
09:11That lead from Allison's visit to the hospital,
09:13when you checked her out the other day?
09:14Yeah, did it give you anything?
09:16It's a dead end.
09:17When Billing tried to process her insurance,
09:18everything came back fake.
09:20It's as if she knew exactly what she was doing.
09:22Kat, any luck with the tablet?
09:24I've gone through everything.
09:25Dating apps, DMs, photos.
09:28It's like she tried to erase Allison completely.
09:30I mean, I can't blame her.
09:32What about the husband?
09:33You mean to tell me this woman that's obsessed with Chelsea is married?
09:36Not happily, trust me.
09:38Okay, now I'm lost.
09:39It was a whole thruple situation.
09:41You don't want to know the details.
09:42Does this husband have a name?
09:44Um, Craig, I think.
09:46Allison's last name was Bailey.
09:47So it could be his too.
09:49Maybe it's on her emergency contact form at the hospital.
09:52I don't need it.
09:53There's a Craig in Chelsea's contacts.
09:55Please tell me there's a number.
09:56No digits.
09:57But I found his IG messaging him now.
10:01Come on, Craig.
10:03Give us something we can use to find our girl.
10:10Remember what I said earlier about not wanting to hurt you?
10:13You're already hurting me.
10:15Or what?
10:16You thought that kidnapping me and chaining me to a bed was some twisted kind of foreplay?
10:20Don't be cute.
10:21Not why I'm trying so hard to make this special for us.
10:24Special?
10:25Girl, you need some serious help.
10:28I'm giving you a chance to do this the nice way, Chelsea.
10:31To remember what we had and what we can't have again if you just stop fighting it.
10:36We never had anything real.
10:38This just proves how crazy you really are.
10:42Crazy.
10:44Baby, you haven't seen crazy yet.
10:48Just keep talking and you might.
11:04We need to stop this.
11:06Do we?
11:07Because that's not what your eyes are telling me right now.
11:12This is not about our attraction.
11:16Doug's in over his head and I can't stand by while you drag him under.
11:21Doug isn't even here.
11:22It's just you and me.
11:24That's the problem.
11:26When I'm with you, I forget everything else.
11:28You're not just another game.
11:31You're real.
11:33Dangerous.
11:34And that's exactly why you can't stay away.
11:41Why you won't stay away.
11:47I don't even want to know what that's about.
11:49Not our concern.
11:51We have a granddaughter to find.
11:57You working?
11:59I have court tomorrow and the judge has a reputation for tearing apart any case that's not airtight.
12:06And you feel like that's what you need to be doing right now in the middle of everything else?
12:12My client is a single mother of three.
12:15And the bank is trying to foreclose on her house because of some predatory lending practice that was buried in
12:20the fine print.
12:22I can't let this woman lose her home because I was too distracted.
12:27I hear you wanting to help your client, but I'm wondering if there is something else that's driving you.
12:37Sometimes when we feel powerless in one situation, we try to assert control in another.
12:53Another success story for Dr. Dupree made me realize what I was actually doing.
13:02You know, in court, I'm unstoppable.
13:07One look at a witness and I can tear their entire testimony apart.
13:12One misstep by opposing counsel and I have them dead to rights.
13:16I hardly ever lose because I can always find the angle.
13:22I always find a way to win.
13:26But what good is any of that now?
13:29Everybody's already doing something.
13:33Jacob is working his contacts.
13:34Kat is combing through social media.
13:36And me, I am sitting here useless, reviewing case law like it matters,
13:42like any of this matters when Chelsea's.
13:48She's out there somewhere on the call.
13:51And I can't, I can't save her.
13:56I can't fix this.
13:58I can't.
14:00She's my baby sister.
14:02I know, sweet girl.
14:04I know.
14:07You can call him, you know.
14:10We're supposed to be having a girls' night?
14:13Which will be over the minute your husband walks through the door.
14:16So, why don't you give Bill a call and find out his ETA?
14:20I don't want to sound needy.
14:22Just blame it on me not wanting to start a movie we won't finish.
14:26I like the way you think, okay?
14:35Hey, babe.
14:36Listen.
14:38Something's happened.
14:40Chelsea is missing and we think she's been kidnapped.
14:44What?
14:45No, no, no, no.
14:46That's terrible.
14:47Who would do that?
14:49We don't know.
14:51I'm at the Dupree's right now trying to go over where our next steps are going to be with the
14:55rest of the family.
14:56Okay, I'm coming over.
14:57No, no, that's not a good idea, babe.
15:00You being here would just, it would just complicate things.
15:04I'm your wife.
15:05I should be with you during crisis.
15:08Not now.
15:08Not this time.
15:10Look, I'll fill you in when I can, okay?
15:12Love you.
15:13Bye.
15:14I love you too.
15:16Look, Chelsea is smart.
15:20She's resourceful, okay?
15:21She built her whole social media empire all on her own.
15:24I'm sure she can get over on this crazed fan.
15:27Crazed fan?
15:28No, this Allison woman is more than that.
15:31But who is she exactly?
15:34You don't know.
15:39Bill, Allison is the woman who broke Chelsea's heart.
15:45I've been through Craig's entire social media feed.
15:48There's not one picture tagged with an Allison anywhere.
15:51No variations of Allison or nicknames or initials either?
15:54You've seen this woman.
15:54What am I missing?
15:56Nothing.
15:57Craig has multiple pictures with women, but none are the Allison I met.
16:01Me either.
16:02Although it does seem that this throuple arrangement appears to have been one of many.
16:06Keep working it.
16:07One receipt, one tag, one check-in.
16:10That's all we need.
16:11I got people working around the clock trying to find whatever they can about this Craig,
16:14possible last name Bailey, marriage license, property records, the whole nine.
16:21Dr. Montgomery, you're still here.
16:24I've been helping Jacob and Kat go through Chelsea's accounts.
16:27Huh.
16:28Well, thanks for being here.
16:30Chelsea needs friends like you right now.
16:33Craig DM'd me back.
16:34He's down to meet.
16:35Who is Craig?
16:37Allison's husband.
16:38What?
16:39It's a whole situation.
16:40We don't have time to explain.
16:42You coming?
16:42We'll be back.
16:44Jacob, let's go.
16:45I'm coming.
16:45I'll walk you out.
16:54I don't know what's worse.
16:56Being powerless while my daughter's in danger or realizing how much of her life I missed.
17:01I mean, what kind of father doesn't even know his own child?
17:04The second part is fixable.
17:06When we find her, and we will, you'll have time to truly know your daughter.
17:12I pray you're right.
17:14I can't lose that chance.
17:20Bernie.
17:21Buck.
17:23This is Dupree.
17:24Anita, please.
17:25It's good to see you, Assistant Director Buchanan.
17:27Hey, I'm Buck.
17:29Especially when I'm hanging out with this guy.
17:31We spent a lot of time in the trenches together.
17:34Yes.
17:35Times have changed.
17:36You made it to Assistant Director at the FBI.
17:40I made it to the Senate.
17:42From civil rights activists to the halls of power.
17:46Who would have thought?
17:48I'm sorry.
17:49We didn't ask for this meeting to reminisce.
17:52We need your help, Buck.
17:53What's the situation?
17:55It's our granddaughter, Chelsea.
17:57She's disappeared from her home.
18:00This is woman who's apparently been stalking her.
18:03We need to know what you can do.
18:05And please, time is of the essence.
18:07I can't say I'm surprised that you want to pump the brakes.
18:11So you also recognize we've been playing with fire?
18:14Oh, no, beautiful.
18:15That's where you're wrong.
18:16I have an insatiable appetite for the fire.
18:20But you, for all your talk that you're ready,
18:24we both know that you've been pretending.
18:26Don't diminish what we had, Joey.
18:28It was real.
18:29It is real.
18:30Present tense.
18:31And that's what terrifies you.
18:35You see, you want the thrill without the consequence.
18:38The danger without the burn.
18:42But my world doesn't work like your escort escapades.
18:47You're being awfully cocky for a man getting turned down.
18:50Just being honest.
18:54Run all you want, Vanessa.
18:56But now that you've had a taste of the real thing,
18:59you'll be back.
19:02I just can't promise that I'll still be interested
19:05once you figure out what it is you really want.
19:10My husband's out there suffering in what,
19:13I'm supposed to just sit here and watch a movie
19:14about a crazy stalker when the real thing
19:16is out there causing Bill pain?
19:17Look, you know how the Tuprees operate?
19:19When there's trouble, they, what, circle the wagon?
19:24Trust me, I've lived it.
19:26Homewrecker Haley, who dared to fall in love
19:28with Bill Hamilton, the conniving liar
19:30who stole him from precious Perfect Danny.
19:32That's not what I meant.
19:33Look, I am Bill's wife and Chelsea's stepmom.
19:36I have every right to be there
19:37when my husband's in crisis.
19:40Bill needs me whether he knows it or not.
19:47Haley, think about this.
19:49The Tuprees don't decide when I get to show up
19:51for my husband, not tonight, not ever.
19:56That's him.
19:57So how should we play this?
19:59Good cop, bad cop?
20:00Or we can just talk to him,
20:01see what kind of game he's running.
20:03You're late.
20:05By what?
20:06Five minutes?
20:07I thought I was making good time
20:08considering DMV traffic.
20:10Let me put you on game.
20:12I'm Kat Richardson,
20:14sister to Congressman Martin Richardson,
20:17granddaughter to Anita and Vernon Dupree.
20:19Our family built Fairmont Crest
20:21before you were even born.
20:23I know who you are.
20:24Social media works both ways.
20:27Good.
20:28This is my cousin, Jacob.
20:30Please, join us.
20:35So here's the situation.
20:37My cousin, his sister-in-law,
20:40Chelsea Hamilton, disappeared tonight.
20:42Yeah.
20:43I've seen a drama online.
20:45That's why I came when you hit me up.
20:46And we appreciate that.
20:48Do we?
20:49Because from where I'm sitting,
20:51your wife looks very, very sus right now.
20:54Listen, Allison isn't my wife.
20:56I was never even her boyfriend.
20:59Don't try to play us.
21:00Kat.
21:00No.
21:01I am not buying this good guy act,
21:04and I can't believe you are either.
21:07He's not lying.
21:08My guy just got back to me
21:10about Craig's marriage certificate.
21:12There isn't one.
21:14This is getting weird.
21:16I don't want any trouble.
21:17Uh-uh.
21:18You're not going anywhere
21:20until you tell us about Allison.
21:22Or what?
21:23You're gonna have me arrested?
21:25Sit down.
21:33Here I am.
21:36Cleaning up this mess
21:38and working my behind off
21:39to give my queen
21:39the perfect evening,
21:41and you can't show just a crumb of gratitude.
21:43How rude are you?
21:46Gratitude?
21:46The only thing you deserve
21:48is a straitjacket.
21:49Why are you making this so difficult?
21:52Just go along with it.
21:54This is how we get closer.
21:56Speaking of closer,
21:58do you remember this?
22:03What the hell is that supposed to be?
22:05Our special bracelet, silly?
22:07The one that you wore
22:08in your fashion shoots
22:09to let me know
22:10that you were thinking about me,
22:11like before that shoot
22:12you did with Ebony?
22:14Oh, that was so sweet of you
22:15to let me know
22:16you were thinking about me.
22:18I don't remember anything
22:20about a bracelet.
22:21You're out here
22:22making up whole stories.
22:23God, stop playing hard to get.
22:25It's getting old.
22:28And?
22:31This is what you have to eat
22:33since you want it to ruin
22:34our romantic evening.
22:36I'm not eating a damn thing.
22:38Not from you.
22:39Well,
22:40if you insist on being stubborn,
22:44I guess there's only one more thing
22:45left for us to do.
22:47Make love.
22:57Look, I'm going to keep it real.
22:58I'm a detective
22:59with the D.C. Metro Police.
23:01So what is this?
23:02Some kind of setup?
23:03Depends on what you're hiding.
23:05My cousin here gets intense
23:06when it comes to family.
23:08But Chelsea,
23:09she's more than family.
23:11She's her best friend.
23:12Yeah, I'm right.
23:12We just want to find her
23:13before something bad happens.
23:15Search your heart.
23:16If someone you love was missing,
23:18what wouldn't you do to help?
23:19Yeah, I get it.
23:21So what do you need to know?
23:22You could start with Allison.
23:25The truth?
23:27Allison wanted a prize.
23:29She paid me to sell
23:29this married couple fantasy
23:31so that she can do
23:32these thruple dates with Chelsea.
23:34So you were basically
23:36Allison's pimp?
23:37It wasn't like that.
23:38She thought Chelsea
23:39would be more comfortable
23:40if there was a guy involved.
23:41That's all I know.
23:43When you would hook up,
23:45would Allison ever take you
23:46back to her place?
23:47Never.
23:48Different hotels every time.
23:50Almost like she was being careful.
23:52Well, look.
23:54Since we're being honest,
23:56Allison was obsessed.
23:58She lived on Chelsea's socials,
24:00making up stories
24:01and convincing herself
24:02they were true.
24:04Did she ever hint at
24:05doing something like this?
24:06Nothing specific,
24:07but I swear,
24:09if she did,
24:10I would have stopped it.
24:12Well, how did she even find you?
24:15I'm sorry for coming in hot earlier.
24:18I'm being sincere.
24:20We're not trying to get you in trouble.
24:22We just need to find
24:23any information
24:24so we can get Chelsea back.
24:26If Allison found you online
24:28or through a dating app,
24:29her information would be
24:30on the database.
24:31Listen,
24:32I'm not a pimp,
24:34but I do work for
24:35Heart Attach Escort Service.
24:38Joey Armstrong's company?
24:39I don't want to end this,
24:42but I need to.
24:43I can't stand by and watch
24:45while you destroy my husband.
24:47Spare me the nobility.
24:49Your husband's poor life choices
24:51are hardly my concern,
24:52but there is something
24:54we need to talk about.
24:55You've seen things, Vanessa.
24:57My operation,
24:59how I handle things.
25:01And I'm not in the habit
25:02of leaving loose ends.
25:04Are you threatening me?
25:07Of course not.
25:11We'll cross paths again.
25:13The only question is,
25:15will it be because you wanted to
25:16or because you had to?
25:28To whoever has our baby,
25:31our Chelsea bear.
25:34I know I haven't always
25:35been the perfect mother,
25:36but that girl has my heart.
25:39Chelsea, baby.
25:43If you can hear this,
25:45just hold on.
25:48We love you.
25:50And we won't ever stop.
25:52Ever.
25:53I've spent my entire career
25:55upholding the law,
25:56but right now I'm just a father
25:58begging to see his daughter again.
26:01I'm not asking questions.
26:02I'm not issuing threats.
26:05Just bring her home.
26:08This isn't happening.
26:09We're going to find her.
26:11What if they do something to her?
26:12What if she's not-
26:12Stop!
26:13Okay, Chelsea's coming home.
26:15She has to.
26:16We love our daughter so much.
26:19Please don't hurt her.
26:21And to Chelsea's loyal followers,
26:24thank you.
26:25You're keeping her name
26:27in the situation trending
26:28and that visibility
26:29means more than you know.
26:32We've seen every message,
26:35every hashtag,
26:36every story,
26:37every offer to help.
26:39And
26:39in this kind of fear,
26:42every single
26:43act of kindness
26:44has power.
26:45And we feel it.
26:46So-
26:47What the hell are you doing here?
26:48From the bottom of our hearts.
26:50I'm here to be with
26:52my husband.
26:53Thank you
26:54for standing with our family.
27:01Let's take this outside.
27:02No, I have every right
27:03to be here.
27:03I'm not going anywhere.
27:05Our family
27:05is dealing with
27:06a real crisis, Hayley.
27:08Chelsea is out there
27:09somewhere scared,
27:09maybe even hurt,
27:10and you choose now
27:11to make this about you?
27:12I didn't come for a fight.
27:13I just thought
27:14I should be here for a build.
27:16Chelsea's my stepdaughter
27:17after all.
27:18Don't you dare.
27:21Where were you
27:22when Chelsea needed help
27:23launching her business?
27:24Or when she was
27:25figuring out her identity?
27:27Oh, right.
27:28You were too busy
27:29destroying our family
27:31to give a damn.
27:36Chelsea,
27:37if you can hear this,
27:40just know that
27:41your mother and I
27:42love you so very much.
27:44You don't get to claim
27:45our family
27:45just because you married
27:46into it.
27:50I suggest you leave
27:52before this gets uglier
27:53than it needs to be.
27:54You don't get to decide
27:56when I show up
27:57for my husband,
27:57so either move
27:58or keep wasting your breath.
28:01Hayley,
28:01I told you not to come.
28:03Of course she came.
28:05Can't waste
28:06a family emergency.
28:08Okay.
28:09We need to talk.
28:12Naomi?
28:13Whatever.
28:19The family was together
28:21at our house
28:22for a toast
28:22before heading over
28:24to the country club.
28:26Chelsea never showed.
28:28No chance she got cold feet?
28:31Absolutely not.
28:32She's been working
28:32towards this for months.
28:34Sometimes the pressure
28:35gets to be too much.
28:37People will disappear
28:40before they face failure.
28:42We're Dupree's.
28:43We don't do failure.
28:44But you know what
28:46I've built in this city.
28:47If I come in to you
28:49like this,
28:50you best believe
28:51something's wrong.
28:52This Allison woman,
28:54you mentioned.
28:54That's one theory.
28:55Well, I can't investigate her
28:57without more intel.
28:58As for Chelsea,
29:00no unusual bank activity.
29:03Her phone is active,
29:04but silent.
29:05Her social media
29:06has gone dark.
29:07If you knew Chelsea,
29:09that would be
29:10a huge red flag for you
29:12because
29:13Chelsea not posting
29:15for hours,
29:16that'd be like the sun
29:17not rising at daybreak.
29:19We're telling you
29:20something has happened
29:21to our girl.
29:23Anita,
29:24I understand your concern.
29:26Do you have grandchildren?
29:28Several.
29:29Some even Chelsea's age.
29:31Then you know that feeling,
29:32that ache,
29:34when you know
29:35they're in trouble.
29:36Now, this isn't just
29:37a missed launch
29:38or silence online.
29:40She has not reached out
29:41to her family
29:42or the woman
29:43that she loves.
29:44That must speak volumes.
29:45I hear you.
29:46But officially,
29:47we need more
29:48to rule out
29:49the possibility
29:49that she left
29:50the house on her own.
29:52And unofficially?
29:54Behind the scenes,
29:56I'll open doors.
29:57We'll be ready
29:58to escalate
29:59the second
30:00we get something solid.
30:02That would be
30:02a great help.
30:04Just knowing
30:04that you're set
30:05to move
30:06without delay.
30:10Dates, Craig.
30:11When did Allison book you?
30:14What's your malfunction now?
30:15I don't need
30:16this mess of my life,
30:17okay?
30:18I've worked too hard
30:19to build something legitimate.
30:20You call being
30:21a manwhore legitimate?
30:22Kat, enough.
30:24Look,
30:25we're not here
30:25to tear you down.
30:27Whatever happened
30:27with Allison
30:28is not on you.
30:29But there's
30:30a bigger picture here
30:31and your insight
30:31could help us see it.
30:32But in my line
30:33of work,
30:34discretion is everything.
30:36Clients pay
30:36for privacy.
30:38And if Joey
30:39finds out I talk,
30:42I'm not just worried
30:43about losing my job,
30:44if you get
30:45what I'm saying.
30:46Your name
30:46will stay out of it.
30:47I promise you.
30:48And Joey?
30:49Never needs to know.
30:50Right?
30:51Right.
30:56Allison booked
30:57through our
30:58regular database.
30:59These are the dates.
31:05Help me!
31:06Leave!
31:07Somebody help me!
31:09Leave!
31:11Help me!
31:27What are you doing?
31:28Your IG post
31:30from last spring.
31:31The one with
31:3257,000 likes.
31:33You were at that
31:34boutique shop
31:35in Georgetown
31:36looking for nightgowns
31:37and you wrote
31:37nothing feels quite
31:39like silk up
31:40against bare skin.
31:42You like what
31:43I'm wearing?
31:45Robin X blue
31:45is your favorite color.
31:47You are sick.
31:49You need help.
31:52I got you one, too.
31:54Don't.
31:57Let's make this
31:58special, love.
31:59We can match
31:59inside and out.
32:02Don't you dare
32:03touch me.
32:04You can fight me,
32:05lover,
32:05but in the end,
32:07you'll see that
32:08this was always
32:08meant to be.
32:15I explicitly
32:16asked you
32:17not to come here.
32:18You didn't ask.
32:19You ordered
32:20like I'm one
32:20of your employees.
32:21That's because
32:21I know this family,
32:22Haley.
32:23I know how they
32:24operate,
32:24how they'll react.
32:25Oh, because that's
32:26what matters right now?
32:28God forbid
32:29I rankle precious
32:30Dupree feelings
32:31while your daughter
32:32is missing.
32:33How dare
32:34I show up here
32:35to support my husband?
32:38What an absolute
32:38terrible wife
32:39I must be.
32:40Okay, look,
32:40I get your point,
32:42okay, but you have
32:42to see it from
32:43their perspective.
32:44They've been through
32:44a whole lot recently
32:45and in no small part
32:46thanks to us.
32:48Look, time heals
32:49all wounds, yeah,
32:50but not while the
32:51feelings are still raw.
32:53I saw you with her.
32:56Dani,
32:57you were in the
32:58living room
32:58holding her hand
32:59like it was the
33:00most natural thing
33:01in the world.
33:01We were filming
33:02a plea for Chelsea's
33:03return.
33:04You are acting like
33:04Dani is still
33:05your wife
33:06like what we have
33:07never happened.
33:08I don't get invited
33:09to your daughter's show.
33:11You didn't call me
33:12to tell me what's
33:13going on
33:13and you made it
33:14very clear
33:15that you don't
33:16want me around.
33:17How is that supposed
33:17to make me feel?
33:18My daughter is missing.
33:19You understand that?
33:20This isn't about us.
33:21Well, I'm making it
33:22about us
33:23because they're supposed
33:25to be in us, Bill.
33:26But every time
33:27this family snaps
33:28their fingers,
33:29you've just
33:29become someone else.
33:31Someone who looks
33:32at me like,
33:34it's like
33:35I'm an inconvenience.
33:36Hayley.
33:36No, I see
33:38how hard you work
33:39to keep me
33:40in their world.
33:42But when things
33:43get real,
33:43really real,
33:45you push me away
33:47every time.
33:48Because I am trying
33:49to protect you
33:50from them.
33:51I don't need
33:51your protection.
33:53I need my husband
33:54to let me
33:55be his wife.
33:57You don't make
33:58things easy sometimes.
34:01Neither do you.
34:03Neither does
34:03this family,
34:04but I am still
34:05here anyway.
34:07Someone has
34:08to be on your side
34:09when you're busy
34:11being on everyone
34:11else's.
34:14I'm just scared
34:15for her, Hayley.
34:17I'm just so scared.
34:18No, it's okay.
34:22I wish I could
34:23do something
34:23to make things better.
34:24Who do you think
34:25took her?
34:26I wish I had a clue.
34:28You're an
34:29investigative journalist?
34:30This is what you do.
34:31You find stories
34:32that people
34:32want to keep hidden.
34:34Wouldn't this
34:34be the time
34:35to absolutely
34:37do everything
34:37that it takes?
34:40I'm going over
34:41to the Grands.
34:42See if there's
34:43some other way
34:43I can help.
34:43You want some company?
34:45Two brains
34:46work better than one?
34:47Let Dad help Pops.
34:49No pressure there.
34:51The more help
34:52we can get.
34:55Bring Chelsea home safe!
34:56We have everything
34:58we need.
34:59The booking numbers
35:00should get us...
35:01Yeah, but we still
35:01need a warrant.
35:02How hard will that be?
35:04Joey Armstrong has
35:07friends in the department.
35:09How many friends
35:09exactly?
35:10Enough to slow
35:11things down,
35:11make paperwork disappear.
35:13So the police
35:14are just...
35:15How corrupt
35:17are you people?
35:19Look, I'm going to
35:20make some calls
35:20and try to push this
35:21through.
35:22don't go anywhere.
35:24Okay, boss.
35:33Sorry, Jacob.
35:34My bestie does not
35:36have time for warrants.
35:47Damn it, Kat.
35:48I already warned you.
35:50Keep your damn hands
35:51away from me.
35:52Why are you being
35:53so difficult?
35:54You used to love
35:55when I touched you.
35:56Remember all those
35:57nights in those
35:58beautiful hotels
35:58when we were done
35:59with Craig
36:00and it'd just be
36:00the two of us?
36:02Just...
36:03like...
36:04now.
36:10Didn't Madison
36:11teach you that?
36:13How to play rough?
36:15Well, then, baby,
36:16let's play rough.
36:17No!
36:18No!
36:20No!
36:23No!
36:24No!
36:25No!
36:26No!
36:28No!
36:29No!
36:31No!
36:32No!
36:32No!
36:33No!
36:34No!
36:35No!
36:37No!
36:38No!
36:38No!
36:40No!
