I'm going to call.

No, do you want them to

lock me up forever?

No.

Well, then we can't call.

That's exactly what they do.

That's exactly what they

want and I know it.

Ok... ok just--

just relax.

No, no, no, no.

Do not tell me to relax. Okay?

We have to sort this out.

We have to figure something out.

Oh, God.

Uh, we have to cover this up.

We have to cover this up.

Shelly, what? No!

Yes. Roy, this is the only way.

This is the

ONLYway, okay?

Okay. No.

This is--

You don't know these people.

Do you want them to lock me up?

This is crazy. I can't.

I can't do that.

Roy, we are both in too deep.

And you know it. Okay?

Why do you think Jake was at

Gus's house that night?

They're all in on this.

They killed my entire family.

Oh, Shelly. Thank goodness.

Hi, Mrs. Hellard.

Hi.

I'm really sorry about what

happened with your brother.

We're all praying for you.

Thank you.

I'm looking for Beth.

She hasn't been at work

the last couple nights...

...and she hasn't called

or nothing. Is she here?

Um, actually, I was just

upstairs and I didn't see her.

So, I don't think she's here.

So... Shelly...

What's going on?

Everything's fine.

You want me to have her give

you a call when she gets home?

Yeah.

[MORE KNOCKING]

He's not here. You should

know that.

Jake.

Surprise.

What? Are you stalking me now?

Dream on. Come on I have to take

you in for questioning.

The hell you do.

I'm out on bail. And I've

done nothing.

That's questionable.

What? Are you going to

arrest me?

Shelly, Beth's missing.

What are you talking about?

You don't seem very

upset by that.

I don't believe you.

Are you gonna come with me

by choice,

or is this gonna be by force?

MUSIC:

[CRICKETS]

I told you. I haven't been

home in almost a week.

I find that hard to believe.

The thing is...

we spoke to Beth's coworker,

Samantha Hillard.

And she said she saw you at the

house just two days ago.

Acting strange.

I've been with Roy Gainey since

he bailed me out.

And if you don't believe me,

you can just ask him.

That's kind of impossible,

Shelly.

Considering Roy Gainey is in the

ICU down at St. Mark's.

Shot in cold blood at his

own home.

Farmhand found him

this afternoon

hanging to his life by a thread.

But, I'm guessing that is not

a surprise to you.

[whimpering]

I have to get out of here.

Not so fast.

Jake, we both know how

this works.

You can't keep me here...

...unless you have proof

that I belong here,

which we both know--

Your paranoia and lack

of cooperation

could be considered evidence

enough by a judge and jury.

Oh, well "could" is not really

gonna cut it.

Where's Beth, Shelly?

I really don't know.

You do know.

And as soon as I figure it out,

I'm going to have you tried as

an adult and thrown in prison

for the rest of your life.

- I don't know!

I don't know where she is!

I don't know!

I don't know.

And I need to get out of

here now.

Oh, really. I hope this thing's

[WATER SLOSHING]

[ZIPPING OPEN]

Oh!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Roy!

We expected you to show up.

Sir, I'm--

I know who you are.

Is Roy okay?

Don't talk. Just listen.

Before you came around, Roy

was doing just fine,

minding his own business.

And now all of a sudden this?

And don't think we don't know

about you...

...because we are well aware.

I'm--

I'm sorry.

Save it. He doesn't want

to see you.

Things just aren't well.

I don't know.

What?

We haven't lost yet.

It's just far from here.

You're not making any sense.

What part of "he doesn't want to

see you" don't you understand?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[WATER RIPPLES]

It's not your fault.

Hey.

They did this. Not you.

You're following me.

Wait! Where are your parents?

I don't have parents.

No, please wait. Let me

help you.

There you go. You need anything?

Uh, no, thank you. That's fine.

- Local authorities

are still searching for ten

year old Geneva resident,

Ariel Baxter.

Ariel was reported missing

from her home

in Geneva last

December.

Authorities are asking that

if you have any tips,

to call the number on

the screen.

Back to you, Steve.

Nurse! Nurse.

What can I do for you?

Could you rewind that for me?

Oh, no, the hospital doesn't

have DVR.

Damn it.

I'm sorry. It's a pretty nice

place, but it's not the Marriot.

You got to unhook me.

No, I'm gonna call your parents.

They wanted to stay--

Do not call them!

Look, I'm an adult and you

will not call them.

We got something.

[PICTURE SNAP]

[ENGINE STARTING]

Roy!

[MOTORCYCLE RUNNING]

[ENGINES OFF]

I'm so sorry, Shelly.

You don't have to say

anything, Roy.

I do.

You were right, Shelly.

I saw the girl on the news.

She's here.

They must be keeping her here

because of the murders.

I know.

I know.

[WIND THROUGH CORN STALKS]

Ok, small footprints. Anything?

[sigh]

There's nothing.

Damn it.

I really wish that girl said

something to you

while you were in the house.

She's scared shitless.

She's seen what those animals

can do. I don't blame her.

Wait...

- Roy.

- Huh?

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

That.

It's just the wind.

It's the sound of a little

girl's voice.

We gotta go find it. Come on.

Mr. and Mrs. Gainey.

This girl should not be out

on the loose.

Putting all of our kids

in danger.

I promise you, Ma'am. We are

working diligently on this.

We couldn't do anything until

we had--

Blood on your hands?

Our best officers are out

there searching...

...and it's a small town.

When our son ran away from his

last school in Milwaukee,

we had a tracking app put

on his phone.

He is with her.

[SIRENS AND CARS APPROACH]

Shelly?

Shelly, are you in there!

[DOOR POUNDING]

We're coming in!

[SMASH DOOR OPEN]

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Callahan.

On my way.

[CRICKETS]

[WIND]

Time is running out.

I'm going back in there tonight

with my dad's Glock .45.

Shelly, I'm doing this with you.

No, you're not.

I don't want anything else

to happen to you.

- Mmmm. Too late.

[RIFLE C*CKS]

Drop it.

Drop it!

[GUN FALLS]

You two think you can keep

snooping around my property

and get away with it?

You think you can keep on

murdering people

and get away with it?

Well hey, now.

There's only one murderer here

and it ain't me.

Oh, Sh*t.

Shell, Shell, Shell.

You really are a piece of work.

Coming around here with all

this crap.

You really should be thrown

in the loony bin.

Just like your mom.

Come on, take it easy with her.

We are just trying to

figure out--

You should really stay
