he's ever sat in my section.

The only thing that he said to me was,

"More coffee, please."

I think he was just afraid

that I would recognize his voice.

It's time.

Oh, God.

You never got a good look at him?

-Have you ever seen him with his car?

-No.

So you don't know anything else about him?

No, not really.

He lives alone. He works odd jobs.

I asked him why he was moving,

and he said he didn't like the women here.

I said, "Why, what's wrong with us?"

"Too skinny."

I said, "Well, I'll take that as a compliment."

Nothing else?

-Well...

-What?

Tell me.

I have his phone number.

I threw it away out here.

He gave it to me last night.

Here's what I think we should do. I think

we should give it to the cops and let them...

Jill.

Jill.

Don't do this, Jill.

Please, you need help.

JOHNSON:
Are you kidding me?

CUMMINS:
Here we go.

JOHNSON:
Okay, it's on.

CUMMINS:
Yeah, she's going for it.

CUMMINS ON RADIO: Orange Bronco.

Oregon plate 071 Charles Baker Victor.

Hey. Jill just left a friend's house

in Ladd's Addition.

Now her friend hears sirens

and she's scared.

There's a pursuit rolling

in Ladd's Addition right now.

Where's Hood?

His mom's sick.

He says he's bringing her soup.

Oh, great. Check with dispatch.

Find out what they're chasing.

CUMMINS ON RADIO:

We've lost sight of the suspect vehicle.

JOHNSON:
She's blacked it out.

She's taking the alley.

OFFICER:
Roger that.

JOHNSON:
There it is.

All right! In the car, show your hands!

-What the hell are you doing here?

-Where are your car keys?

-Why?

-Just please give them to me.

No.

If they catch me, they're going to

throw me back in the hospital,

and they're going to

ask me a thousand questions,

and I'm not going to be able to answer,

'cause I'm going to sound crazy.

They're going to stand there

with their notepads,

and they're going to make me

take all these pills, and when I refuse,

it'll make me seem even crazier.

Meanwhile, Molly is going to be dead,

buried at the bottom

of some hole in Forest Park,

along with all these other girls

that nobody's looking for.

And then, one day, someone's going to

accidentally stumble over their bones.

And the cops are going to say,

"Wow, what do you know?

That Conway girl was right."

And they're going to go on living their lives.

But I will never be able to do that

because I know that I didn't do

everything possible to save my sister.

And so how are you going to feel

when you didn't help me?

BOY:
Mommy, I'm hungry.

SHARON:
Yeah? What do you want, sweetie?

Do you want an apple?

My keys are in my purse on that desk.

And don't you come back here.

-(ON PHONE) Jim here.

-Hi.

Who's this?

-Jill.

-Jill who ?

You know who I am.

I know who you are.

And I know you have my sister.

I'm sorry, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

You stared at me for months.

You finally sat at my station last night,

and then you went

and you broke into my home,

and you meant to take me,

but you took my sister instead.

-Is this Jill from the Lucky Star?

-Yes! Stop it! Stop it.

I left you a pretty big tip last night.

Yeah.

And then I went to your house

to kidnap you?

Why would I do that if I knew you were

working the night shift like you always do?

But you're right about one thing.

I do know who you are.

You're that poor girl

who was abducted last year

The one no one believes.

The police said it was a hoax

and that you were crazy, right?

Pigs.

You sound like

you're in a very bad place right now.

Would you like to meet me and

see that I'm not the monster you think I am?

Maybe then youll relax.

Be happy.

Smile.

You may even like me.

Okay.

Do you want me to come to you?

Or do you want to come to me?

I'll come to you. Where are you?

I'm sort of homeless right now.

I'm just tying up a few loose ends

before I move back north.

Here's what you do.

Cross over the St. John's Bridge

and turn right onto Bridge Avenue,

and take it to Springville Road

for about three miles.

On the left, you'll see

an abandoned ranger station.

Call me when you get there, okay?

And, Jill,

you drive careful now.

-Hello?

-BILLY:
Hey. Molly's back.

-What?

-I'm at your house right now. She's here.

-Are you serious?

-Yeah.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That means that...

-Put her on.

-She's in the shower:

-What?

-Stop being such a weirdo. She's back.

Look, she was so stressed out

about the exam,

she went out with Sarah.

Not to drink, just to watch, right?

Of course, she got wasted.

Passed out on the couch,

slept right through the test.

She was too embarrassed to call.

She just came back 20 minutes ago in a cab.

Now she wants us to

take her to an AA meeting.

Unbelievable.

I know, so hurry up. She's dying to see you.

Billy,

put Molly on the phone, please.

I can't. I told you, she's in the shower

-POWERS ON PHONE: Yeah?

-Hey. Okay, she's on her way home.

Okay. Then will you ask her

something for me?

What?

Ask her why she went out drinking

in a pajama top.

Jill.

Uh...

Look, I'm freaking out over here.

There are cop cars parked outside.

They're not going to talk to me about Molly.

All they care about is you.

So unless you turn yourself in,

they're never going to look for hen

-I'm on my way to meet him right now.

-Who?

The guy who took hen

-I just got off the phone with him.

-Wait, he...

-He admitted it?

-No, but he's the one.

Hello?

She says she's meeting the guy

who kidnapped her and Molly.

-Where?

-I don't know.

-Jesus.

-Yeah, that's what I said.

So what if Jill isn't crazy?

What if this guy really does have Molly?

She's still missing.

Something must've happened to her.

What do you want?

POWERS:
What the hell

do you think you're doing?

Your job.

You think this is

how an investigation works,

you are dreaming, Jill.

You know, I'll tell you where Molly is.

She couldn't stand looking after you

one minute more, so she took off.

She needed a break.

That's why she moved in, you know.

To babysit you.

-It was my idea.

-No.

Yeah, I thought

without some human contact,

you'd end up in a hospital

for the rest of your life.

JILL:
They don't believe me.

-They think I made it up!

-MOLLY:
Okay, okay. Shh, shh!

-They won't even let me go home.

-Just come here, okay?

I'll talk to the doctors and

I will get you out of here, I promise.

-No, she would've told me that.

-POWERS:
How?

There's no telling you anything, Jill.

You won't let anyone help you.

-Now, look, you do as I say and you...

That's him.

Ji...

-JIM ON PHONE:
You're at the ranger station?

-Yeah.

Good. Turn left out of the lot.

Do you have Molly? Please tell me the truth.

I don't have hen

Soon you'll see a road,

but it's not well-marked.

I see a chain.

That's it. Get out and move it.

Hold on.

Take the road?

Yes.

How far?

Until it ends.

Forest Park is a magical place, isn't it?

I come here all the time.

Did you ever hear about the little girl
