Oh no, no, no, no, no!

Baby, baby, baby, baby.

[loud sobbing]

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No, no, no!

[loud sirens]

Anything that you find,

anything that looks suspicious,

you let us know.

Now be looking for

any kind of signs.

[loud barking]

Where is Sophia?

Where is Sophia?!

What did you do

with our daughter!

Where is she?!

Where is she?!

Where is she?!

Where is she?!

Sophia!

God help me please!

Please god help me!

[Narrator] She's

gonna be fine okay?

We're gonna find her,

she's gonna be okay.

[slow paced music]

[Narrator] Sophia!

Sophia!

Mommy's here honey,

where are you?

[Narrator] Sophia!

[solemn music]

[Sophia] Daddy.

My baby, oh my baby, oh my baby.

Oh sweetheart, daddy's so sorry.

I'm so sorry honey,

I'm so so sorry.

I'm so sorry baby.

I'm so sorry.

[Sophia] It's okay daddy.

I forgive you.

You forgive me?

You could forgive me?

Oh my sweetheart.

Oh my baby, baby, baby, baby.

Let me look at you

let me look at you.

Oh you're so pretty,

you're so beautiful honey.

Everything's gonna

be okay now daddy.

You'll see.

I gotta go now daddy.

No no baby no.

Don't go, don't go,

don't go please.

Please baby, please don't go.

Don't go.

[Sophia] I really

gotta go now daddy.

You gotta let me go.

[solemn music]

[light footsteps]

The sun's coming up.

I always liked this time of day.

Everybody's asleep and

you know one time, you

must've been about five.

Woke you up, we went

down to the lake.

You caught your

first fish that day.

That's a morning I

never will forget.

You probably too young

to remember all that.

I remember.

I got a lot of

regrets in my life.

But the biggest regret is that

I was such a shitty dad to you.

You always a precious kid

and I missed all that.

And I miss the pleasure

of just being your dad.

All that stress, that sh*t,

that just bore down on me.

Bills, and lousy job.

What was important was you.

And I missed it.

I missed it.

But you, somehow

you turned out good.

You a great father.

You love your kids and

your kids love you.

And at the end of the day,

that's all that matters.

I'm proud of you for that son.

I just hope that some day you,

you'll be able to

find it in yourself to

to forgive me.

Go home Glen, go home.

Make it right with

Jennifer and the boys.

Jennifer and the boys?

Dad, they're...

No they're not

Glen, they're not.

Jennifer, Jennifer!

Boys!

[slow paced music]

They can't hear you Glen.

[loud rumbling]

[Reporter] It's been

21 days since little

Sophia Sorenson

disappeared in the vast

wilderness expanse along

the Nottaway River.

[loud sirens]

Searches have exhausted

every resource

and suspect the child

was either swept

under the icy cold waters

or killed by wild animals.

I'm very sad to say

that as of today,

we're downgrading our efforts

from search and

rescue to recovery.

[solemn music]

[solemn music]

Put those hands together buddy.

Good boy.

Step into it.

Nice!

Nice!

That's my boy.

[solemn music]

[faint clanking]

[heavy breathing]

[loud gunshot]

- [loud thunder]

- [solemn music]

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Mostly for Sophia.

I just,

for everything.

For not being a better husband.

For all the hurtful

shitty things

I've said to you over the years.

You deserved so much better.

I love you.

Go on Joey, there ya go.

Listen dad, there's

someone I need to go see.

Doe?

She's not there Glen.

Well, she is but, you

wouldn't be able to see her.

You know that camp

that you were in?

It was full of people

who were just like you.

People that didn't know

they were dead already.

So Doe is...

Yeah.

[slow paced music]

Oh.

Look at you.

Let me just look at ya.

Let me just look at you

you're so beautiful.

Come on sweetheart.

Hey, somebody I

want you to meet.

This is grandpa.
