on Saturday

she met up with a man

she calls Charlie

at a motel, where she

was sexually assaulted.

The man is at least

Jesus Christ.

Where is she?

She's in an exam room

with the nurse

collecting evidence for the rape kit.

She's okay.

One of the counselors from

the hospital is with her.

I have to see her.

Look, there is a private waiting

room just down the hall--

We have to see her

right now!

We want to see

her right now.

She's having an exam.

You'll see her in a minute.

I'm almost done.

I just need to get one more

picture of that abrasion.

This is f***ing insane.

On, baby.

It's okay. We're here.

We're here now.

Mr. and Mrs. Cameron,

I'm Gail Friedman.

I'm a counselor

with the hospital.

I'm glad

you're here.

- Annie here is an amazing young woman.

- Gail.

- Ah. This is Special Agent Doug Tate with the FBI.

- Hi.

FBI?

Well, any time

a crime is committed

against a child

using the Internet

and the suspect

is a traveler

someone from out of

state, they call us in.

Look, Annie, I know

you've had a rough day.

But I need to ask you a couple of questions.

You feel up for it?

Do we have

to do this now?

Trust me, the sooner we start

this investigation, the better.

Gail, do we still have the clothes

she was wearing that night?

- Yes.

- Are they here?

No, they're

at her house.

Okay, I need to get those

from you as soon as possible.

Is that okay?

Yeah, I guess.

Mr. Cameron,

Mrs. Cameron

I would like to talk to Annie alone.

Could you please just--

Look, I've had

enough of this.

This is our daughter.

We wanna be with her.

You've got to

understand that right now

Annie's a victim of a crime and you

and your wife are just witnesses.

That's why we interview

everybody separately

so as not to contaminate

anyone's testimony.

Now if you can just give

Annie and I a second alone

and then I'll come

back to your house

and we can all

sit down and talk.

Fair enough?

So how long

will this take?

Well, it depends if we get enough

genetic material to run a profile.

And if there is,

how long?

Right now, there's

a nationwide backlog.

In Illinois alone, we've

got 2,000 unopened kits

sitting in freezers

waiting to be processed.

Some people have been

waiting a year.

- What? - How is that possible?

We'll run this through

the FBI facilities.

So, two weeks,

a month on the outside.

A month?

Now can I see

the family computer?

Doug.

Yeah.

- Did you copy the hard drive?

- Yup.

- We'll take that with the evidence down to the lab.

- Okay.

Apart from Teen Chat

were there any

other networking sites

you used to communicate?

No, not really.

Did you guys ever

speak on the phone?

You spoke to him.

Now, you said

his mother was sick.

Yeah. Cancer.

Yeah, okay.

Tell him you feel awful

about his mother

that you really

wanna talk to him

that you lost

an uncle to cancer.

I-I don't know.

You don't know what?

I just don't

wanna lie to him.

What are you talking about,

sweetheart? He lied to you.

What do you think

of writing to him

and just telling him

how you feel?

Yeah, Annie.

Would that be good?

Yeah, I guess.

Okay, good.

Okay, just keep

if simple- Be yourself

Maybe he didn't

even like me.

He didn't.

Will!

it wasn't like

that, sweetheart.

The man tricked you.

What?

- Is that him?

- Charlie.

Okay, now, remember,

he's gonna test you

to see if you told anybody.

You haven't, okay?

Tell him that

you're concerned

and a little worried that

he hasn't called. Okay?

Should I?

Yeah, answer

him. Yeah.

A-are, are you

guys tracing this?

Yes.

It says private.

What do I do to answer it?

Frank, are we good?

We're good.

Annie? Look at me?

Just, just talk to him.

All right?

Okay.

Hello?

Annie?

Charlie?

Hi.

Hi.

It's kinda late.

Where are your parents?

They took Katie

to the movies.

Charlie?

Sh*t.

Shame on you, Annie.

Charlie?

Charlie, are

you there?

Charlie?

Damn it!

Frank, did

we get it?

Well, that's it.

He's gone.

Why did you

make me do that?

Annie!

He probably got your

cell number off your website.

Look, I'll

give you a call

when I get back

from the motel.

Tell me something.

Did she yell for help?

I mean, did she scream,

tell him to stop?

Just because she

didn't scream for help

does not mean

this wasn't rape.

Now that guy is 20 years

older than she is.

He groomed her for weeks just

to get her into the motel room

and she's armed with what?

The eighth-grade biology

and the expectation that the

world is a decent place.

I'm gonna f***ing

kill this guy.

No, you won't. That's why I'm here.

Now, we will find him.

And what am I

supposed to do?

You go back inside,

you support your daughter

and you let us

do our job.

What, with just five of you

guys working the whole state?

There's gotta be something I can do.

I'm not just gonna stand around and wait--

Mr. Cameron, I promise you.

I put everything

I got into these cases.

You just gotta

give us a chance.

Now, my cell

is on the back.

You call me

if you need anything.

I'll drop you a line tomorrow

when I get back from the motel.

You want me to

sleep with you tonight?

No, I just want

my blanket.

No, please, stop.

Stop, please!

Dad, please help me

to stop him.

Please, Dad, help!

Help me!

No, get off!

Don't Please, Dad, help me, please.

Stop! No!

Will.

You all

right, buddy?

Yeah, of course.

If Mrs. Van Dersey

wants the meeting, fine.

But I think that we should

dictate the parameters.

No more of this bullshit.

Good.

Is there

any more coffee?

Grab another coffee.

Hey.

I got you a new cell.

Now, you have

to promise me

that you're not

gonna try and call him

or text him

with this new number.

Remember what Tate

said about the old one

that if he tries to call you on

that, you tell us immediately.

I'm gonna have

to check the bills.

And if I find out that

you've tried to contact him

I'm gonna have

to take it back.

Okay?

So what? Do I just start

talking like Tony Soprano?

Boy, I hope not.

I'm glad you came.

Yeah, well, my parents

said I had to.

Well, even so,

I'm still glad.

I want this

to be a place

for you to feel

safe and comfortable

talking about anything.

I just wanna

be helpful to you.

You think

I need help?

I think that what you've been

through must be very difficult.

You know, what's

the big deal?

There are girls

at my school

who've had sex

with half the football team.

I lose my virginity

and my parents

make a federal case

out of it.

Literally.

I think they're

more concerned

that you may have

been in danger

more than anything else.

Danger?

That's 'cause

they don't know him.

You know,

the thing is

I bet my dad would

really like him

if they'd met,

you know, before.

What is it about him you think

your father would like?

He's sweet, and smart,

and really funny.

And gives great advice and

which, by the way, worked.

I-I made the team

because of him.

You think that's the only
