You gonna make me

Uh..

I didn't say that.

[Amber sobbing]

You know, I don't

And I never had.

I'm, I'm in so much pain.

I can't,

I can hardly stand.

Come on, please, please,

Please, help me!

We can go together.

We can go together.

Hey, uh...fix her hair

She got company at 10:00.

[music continues]

Look, this life's real tough.

I'm Heather Hays,

as you know

we've been following

the heartbreaking story

of missing teenager,

Amber Stevens.

'Austen Williams

is joining us..'

I don't even think

that they're working.

I don't think

they're even looking for her.

Honey, you know what?

Listen to me, listen,

listen to me.

Look at my eyes,

we are here for you

and we're gonna find her.

We're gonna find her.

'Let's pray.

Let's just pray.'

'Because it's all we can do.'

[door opens]

[instrumental music]

Darkness taking me tonight

Nice, nice, nice.

...terrorized inside

Dreading

what I know will come

Brutalized by evil ones..

What you looking at?

Witch!

Oh

Demons growl

and call my name..

You're stayin' right there.

Is torn to shame

I smell the breath

upon my skin

Filthy hands are reachin' in

Save me save me

Eight days I'm fading

Save me

Take me away

What the..

[Amber grunting]

Give...give me this.

Shoot! Shoot!

What the heck, man?

What's going on?

She jumped the freakin' phone.

I leave you in charge and this

is what you do? Are you serious?

Man, I took a second

to the restroom, dawg!

Man, I ain't got time

for this, man.

[no audio]

- We need to get out of here.

- Shut up, girl!

(male #5)

'She's right

because I can't deal with cops.'

I ain't got time for this man.

Put this on!

[Amber crying]

(Big D)

'Get up! Get up!'

- No!

- Get up!

No!

- 'We're getting outta here.'

- No!

What's wrong with you?

[Amber screaming]

- No!

- 'Angel, shut up!'

- Keep your head down!

- 'Sugar, get her shoes!'

Grab everything!

'Go! Go!'

- 'No!'

- 'Hurry up!'

Come on, leave, leave.

- Who's that?

- Nobody.

Just a drunk text.

School's not even out yet.

I didn't know Amber

was such a partier.

Amber?

Reid, you know she's been

missing for five days.

There's an investigation.

We have to go now!

Yo, I be needing a new room.

I gotcha, Red,

but...I wanna see BB again.

Shut up.

Let me know if you

need anything, alright?

[Amber panting]

Ugh!

[Amber groaning]

[intense music]

You live because I let you live.

BB's with the clerk.

Get her ready!

[music continues]

[Amber grunts]

(Amy)

'Uh, well...what did they say?'

They got nothing from the text.

'No!'

[Amy crying]

'I can't lose her!'

We're not gonna stop

fighting for her.

We're not gonna stop.

I shouldn't have

let her go with Drew.

I shouldn't have let her go.

Why did you think it was okay?

You said it would be okay!

You said it would be okay!

[crying continues]

I'm sorry!

- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[both crying]

We'll get her back.

Well, hello, Mrs. Lawrence.

How's our favorite

politician's wife?

- What can we do for you?

- Need you to investigate this.

- And I need you to do it now.
