- Is that what you're looking for?

- That's exactly what I'm looking for.

- Do you have the rifle?

- Yeah.

That's in the bag too.

Then you got all your ammo is in the case.

You got an M15 back there.

Do you really need to pack

this much heat?

It's better to be safe

than sorry, right?

Yes.

Tell you something, Julia.

Ever since I retired from the agency,

life has been great.

The biggest trouble I've got

is maybe fixing a leaky roof

or a broken fan belt.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, Morty,

but trouble seems to follow me.

Yeah? Well, don't use any of that

unless you have to.

Because I need somebody

to take care of me in my old age.

Okay? I'm meeting a buddy of mine

at Ed's Diner

so you borrow my truck

and I'll have my buddy

give me a ride home.

All right. Here it is.

All right.

You sure about this?

I'm happy to help you any time, okay?

You ever need anything, you call me.

All right. Thank you.

No. No, you don't thank me. I thank you.

You're the one that saved my life,

remember?

Yeah, well, it was part of the job.

Yeah, not everybody does their job

the way you do.

- I'm forever grateful, all right?

- Yeah.

So enough of the sappy stuff.

You got my truck.

I'd like to get it back

without any bullet holes.

Okay.

- You need anything, you call me.

- Deal.

Thank you.

You won't believe this.

I can believe anything right now.

So we were able to extrude

some information

based off the sites and passwords

you gave us, right?

And it appears that Gavin Brown

had been logging

into his chatterama.com account

from... Are you ready for this?

At this point,

I prepared myself for anything.

From inside of the Arizona State

Correctional Institution.

Great. My daughter is with a convict.

Were you expecting anything different?

But here's the thing.

There hasn't been any activity

on the account for the past month,

and now she's planning on meeting with him

so it appears that he's been let out.

How did he have access from prison?

Sadly, these prisoners get access

to their social media

from prison libraries,

cell phones being smuggled in,

guards giving them access.

You name it, they'll find a way.

Now, this is a standard ruse

these prisoners run

in order to get a girlfriend

while they're in jail

and have someone to see

when they get out.

But how did he find her specifically?

Probably by random.

You know, what these guys do

is they send out their feelers

to hundreds of young girls, right?

It's called catfishing.

Now, all it takes

is for just one of them to bite.

Well, she bit all right.

Where should I start looking?

Well, I would start

with their original meeting point

at the restaurant in Prescott.

In the meantime, I'll go

through some of the prison's videos

and mugshots,

cross-reference it with his photos.

Thanks, Martin.

Hey, Julia.

Listen, this is

your daughter, all right?

There's nothing more important.

Thank you.

How'd you become such a good kisser?

I don't know.

I haven't had much practice.

Well, you got great instincts.

Thanks.

It looks so peaceful.

There's a lot of character.

I bet there's a lot

of family history here.

My mother was actually born

in this house.

Wow.

I bet you played right on the steps.

You're very intuitive.

I actually spent a lot of hours

playing with my father here.

Do I get to meet your parents?

I don't even know anything about them.

Unfortunately, they're no longer around.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I guess, that's why you never talked

about them.

What happened?

- My father was killed.

- Killed?

Was he in the military?

Something like that.

He was actually murdered

in the line of duty by his own partner.

- Was it an accident?

- No.

Definitely not an accident.

I'm so sorry.

And then my mother died

a couple of years later.

How'd she die?

Hm, she was diagnosed with cancer

but I think that she died

of a broken heart.

That's so sad.

I'm so sorry, Gavin.

Yeah, it was a long time ago.

It's funny, though, how that stuff

never seems to leave you.

Trust me...

I know.

Yeah?

My father was murdered

when I was just 6 years old.

You never told me that.

I was afraid to.

I thought you might not like me.

That's silly.

That's so...

I gotta be honest.

That's exactly what I thought.

That's why I was always Mr. Inspiring

and Mr. Optimistic,

because I didn't want you to think

I was a depressing person.

I'm sorry you had to deal

with all the stories of teenage angst.

No, no, no. I liked it.

I like being able to help you.

Well, you did.

You did because if it wasn't for you,

I don't think I would have gotten

through the last couple of years.

When my mom married Daniel

and my dad died, it was devastating.

Devastating and when my mom

married Daniel it was like...

It was like the dagger going straight

through my heart.

How did your father die?

Do you really wanna know?

I wanna know everything about you.

It was 10 years ago,

and I remember everything so clearly

like it was yesterday.

My dad and I brought my mom

to the airport

because she had a business trip.

Oh my God.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I guess so.

God. Daddy's gotta go talk

to this guy, okay?

It's okay. No, no, it's okay.

I'll be right back.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'll be right back, okay?

Look, you can see me right

through the window.

Well, in just a second.

Sit tight. I'll be right back.

Okay? All right.

Just stay there. Be right back.

What are you doing, man?

You slammed on your brakes.

I got, okay, I got my card.

Here's my driver's license.

I need to get my registration

out of my car, okay?

Daddy.

Dad.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Daddy?

Wake up, Daddy.

Where are we?

We're inside his van.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

Did he hurt you?

Are you all right?

I thought you were dead.

Oh, Daddy's fine

and I'm gonna be all right, okay?

Listen, we gotta get out of this van,

all right?

I promise you

it's gonna be all right, okay?

Okay.

Run, Abbey, run!

Run and hide! Run!

Run hard!

Daddy!

Don't leave me!

Daddy!

I'm so sorry.

My father was found in the woods,

bound and gagged

and shot right in the head.

- Who could do such a thing?

- Only an animal could do that.

My mom and I had

a really close relationship

before she married Daniel.

She married him just like that?

Must have been very insensitive of her.

Oh, yeah, it was insensitive.

You know, he came right in

and tried to control everything

and on top of that,

his two kids are brats.

Well, you don't have to worry

about that anymore.

And why is that?

Because you have me.

How'd I get so lucky?

We were just meant to be.

- Hey.

- What?

Let's check out the inside.

Get over here. Come on.

Would you guys be okay

with peanut butter and jelly?

We had it for lunch.

Oh, it's Mom.

So don't say anything

about sitting on the counter, okay?

Hey, honey, you okay?

Hey, don't worry about me, okay?

Just keep monitoring the phones

and contact all of her friends.
