So just tell me in your

I don't remember.

Well, maybe this will jog your memory.
Surveillance from the bus station.
That's you.
That is
Rafael. He works at the station.
And we're friends.
Well, maybe not anymore.
Margaret, you're being
charged with assault.
When you hit your friend, it took ten
stitches to close up the gash.
No, no. No, no. It was an accident.
He was he was
touching Jamie's flyers.
He was he was throwing Jamie away.
He was doing renovations.
He was doing his job.
Look, Margaret, I want to help.
I know what's happening
is not your fault.
The stress you're feeling
because of M&A and
keeping Gabi's secret.
♪
Margaret, look at yourself.
I know you can read
people; read yourself.
Slouch shoulders, fists clenched.
Just talk to me.
I'll help you no matter what.
♪
You made bail.
Let's go.
[WHISTLING]
[LAUGHS] Okay.
What is this?
This is breakfast in bed.
Well, you moved.
The location is not the issue.
Someone's overcompensating.
Nothing kills a romantic gesture
more than being psychoanalyzed
in the middle of it.
This is about Sir, isn't it?
It's not your fault that
he stole my credit card.
You can stop trying to make up for it.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
[PHONE BUZZES]
Sorry.
Is it Gabi?
Is Margaret okay?
For now, Margaret is fine.
But no, this isn't Gabi.
It's Zeke.
♪
- Margaret, you have got to be
- Gabi, enough.
Thank you for bailing me
out, but I am done talking.
Then you need to start listening.
This man has filed a restraining order
against you, which means
you aren't allowed within 20
feet of the bus station.
No, no, no, no.
I have to be there for Jamie.
How long? How long did he
say that I have to be away?
I don't know.
Gabi Mosely?
You, you need to find my daughter.
She was taken from me,
and it's your fault.
Okay, slow down.
Let's start with your name.
My name is Jocelyn Mosely,
and my daughter's name
is Gabi
Gabi Mosely.
And she was taken by
Hugh Evans because of you.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
Of course he called you.
Fine.
You can tell him that I'm not crazy.
No one said crazy.
Oh, that my brain is just
jacked up, but it's not.
My memory is fine.
Is this about you remembering Sir
- on the phone asking for help?
- Wait, you know?
She told me and Gabi last night.
Yeah, and unlike you, they believed me.
I didn't say I didn't believe you.
But?
But think about what
you've been through.
Since you've been back,
you're not sleeping.
You are wandering at night.
Sleep deprivation can affect the mind.
I'm not hallucinating.
All Zeke is saying is,
we're worried about you.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Fine. You want me to sleep?
I'll sleep. But I know what I heard.
♪
[SIGHS]
What the hell, Dhan?
Maybe she really heard Sir on
the phone, maybe she didn't.
All we know for sure is until
she sleeps, we cannot trust
anything she says as gospel.
So what exactly did the reporter ask?
Arthur asked about it all,
about Sir being my teacher
and my time at the farmhouse.
Are you sure you're okay
he's writing this article?
The police say anything I can
do to keep Sir in the spotlight
would help, so at
least this is something.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
It helped you, didn't it?
I see it.
It's liberating telling your truth.
I'm glad for you. I am.
But I need a favor.
Arthur called about Bella.
But it's her story to tell
when she's ready, not mine.
Right now, Bella is in a delicate place,
so she doesn't need to
know anything about this.
Okay?
♪
Elizabeth is 16 years old.
She's brilliant, and she's strong.
I'm I'm sorry. Elizabeth?
Oh, I'm the only one
who still calls her that.
Everyone else calls her Gabi.
That's her middle name
Elizabeth Gabrielle Mosely.
Are you sure she's been taken?
Was there an argument?
Maybe she's somewhere cooling off.
No. And I am certain.
This morning, I came in to wake her,
and I found her windows wide open.
And in her bed, I found
a bottle of chloroform.
Did did you call the police?
I came to you first because
you're the one I need.
You're the Gabi Mosely Sir wants.
Why are you so certain it's Sir?
My daughter said she had
this horrible feeling,
like she was being watched.
I thought it was just nerves because of
all the news stories these
past couple of weeks, but
- When did she change her name?
- About a year ago.
It was a class assignment.
You know, you Google your
name and see who comes up.
And I popped up all over the place.
She started reading all about you,
all you've overcome,
the people you've saved.
You inspired her.
It was helping.
Elizabeth was afraid,
but Gabi was fearless.
Afraid of what?
Things have been
difficult for my daughter.
Her father left us three years ago.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, don't be.
Peter's leaving was the
best thing he ever did.
He was emotionally abusive.
Peter's a photographer,
lives in Vegas now.
What about friends? Dating?
Was your daughter seeing anyone?
No, no. No boyfriend.
She's very much an introvert like me.
Look, I, I appreciate you trying
to think of other
suspects, but I told you
I know who took my baby.
Sir did.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Okay, let's move.
Zeke, what do you have?
I'll start with this
other Gabi's socials
text, email, TikTok,
the whole nine yards.
Dhan, as soon as Margaret
is finished with intake,
you two go home with Jocelyn
and check out Elizabeth's room.
I need her computer,
phone, journal, anything
that can help us figure
out who's done this.
- You don't think this was Sir?
- I don't think so.
Something doesn't feel right.
If he wanted me, he'd come for me.
Hell he would.
- He came for me to get to you.
- Yeah, Lacey's right.
What if he did this
to get your attention?
What if it's a copycat?
We have to consider all options.
And, Lacey, track down the father.
- What about a press conference?
- No.
Gabi, if this was Sir
No. No press conference, not yet.
Now, do as I ask.
Please.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
I wonder what our missing
girl would think if she knew
her hero was also a kidnapper.
Are you really going to stand
there in judgment of Gabi
after she just bailed you out of jail?
I snapped for a second.
But Gabi lied for, like, nine months.
It's not the same thing.
I mean, even you did the
right thing and told the truth,
even though it was hard.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Oh, I see.
So you haven't told Ethan yet, have you?
You know why I haven't told him?
Look at you and Gabi.
Clearly, the truth doesn't
always set you free.

The hidden journal.
♪
She read "They Call Me Sir."
- Have you?
- No.
Gabi said it was nothing but lies.
I can't believe it's become
the definitive true crime
novel about Sir.
[ENGINE REVVING]
The cops are here. Time to go.
How did they find out
about this case so fast?
I don't know.
So Mom was wrong.
She had a secret boyfriend?
Ryan Winslow, 17, competitive golfer.
Found this photo tagged
in a friend's post.
- Zeke, what is it?
- There's a lot of chatter
about this case online.
Hold on.
Hello.
My name is Lacey Quinn, and
I survived being kidnapped
by Hugh Evans, AKA Sir, twice.
And now I've learned that
he's taken another young girl.
Her name is Elizabeth Gabrielle Mosely.
Hugh Evans, I am not afraid of you.
You are a sad, pathetic little man.
And I am going to hunt you
down like the animal you are.
Lacey, what have you done?
You are a sad, pathetic little man.
And I am going to hunt you
down like the animal you are.
And if this isn't Hugh Evans
who took that young girl
and it's a copycat, well, you picked
the wrong monster to hero worship,
because I'm coming for you too.
Lacey, you have no
idea what you've done.
Actually, I do.
With all due respect, Gabi, Sir
is not your personal monster.
He took me, too.
And I get to fight back any way I want.
I never said you couldn't.
But as your friend,
I'm worried about you.
I wish everyone would stop
treating me like I'm broken
and whispering behind my back.
I know what I'm doing.
Because of Sir, I lost my
voice for a very long time.
And I'm not going to
let that happen again.
There is nothing wrong
with reclaiming your voice,
but you are acting impulsively,
which is dangerous for our client.
I took steps towards saving our client.
So if you want to fire
me for telling the truth,
so be it because I'm
done biting my tongue.
Lacey.
Well, looks like I'm not the
only one that's mad at you.
Not now, Trent.
You do realize that I can add
tampering with the crime scene
to the long list of crimes
you are already racking up?
By the time I saw Lacey's video,
your team was already at
the missing girl's house.
The family came to me, and I
did what I always do, activate.
Besides, I was going to loop you in.
All right.
We're dusting for prints now.
I'll let you know what we come up with.
I don't think it's Sir.
No one wants Sir behind
bars more than me.
But this isn't his M.O.
It's likely someone spurred
on by all the recent press.
Well, copycats crave notoriety.
So if you're right, Lacey's
little stunt may have cost us.
I don't blame Lace.
She's hurting and trying
to take back control.
Let me be clear.
I don't blame her either.
Want to go for a ride?
Case-related.
Ryan Winslow, secret boyfriend,
top-tier golfer, bottom-rung student
or at least he used to be.
Wild guess, since dating our girl,
his grades have dramatically
improved, which means she's
either a good influence or
Or he's using her.
I was surprised to see
Margaret working the case
at the other Gabi's house.
Busy is good for her, especially now.
But we got to get her back
into that bus station, Trent.
She hasn't spent a night
away from there in 13 years.
I'm afraid to see what
happens if she does.
That's our guy.
Ryan Winslow?
Hey, I know who you are.
You're the other Gabi Mosely.
Are you helping me find my Gabi?
Curious your girlfriend's missing,
and you thought you'd hit a few balls.
There's a storm coming in.
Got to practice when you can, man.
Coach's rules.
Have you seen or heard from her?
Not since yesterday morning.
Maybe her mom was around, so we
couldn't really see each other.
Gabi just didn't want
her in her business.
I don't really care, as long as we get
to hang out with each other.
I mean, she's beautiful, brilliant.
She talks way over my head
half the time, but I love it.
So no fights recently?
Honestly, never been better.
Hustle up, Winslow.
Sorry, I got to go.
But if you guys need anything,
you know where I'm at.
Please find her.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Trent and Gabi are headed back.
Boyfriend is definitely
hiding something.
Zeke, we need to dig deeper
on him, past girlfriends,
- arrest records.
- I'm on it.
I don't know how Gabi is
able to work with Trent
knowing that he wants to put her away.
I'm guessing the same way
she's able to work with us.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I wouldn't be alive today without Gabi.
She saved each of us in some way.
And she makes one mistake.
And instead of forgiveness, you
torture her with your distance
and disdain.
We're all still here, aren't we?
What more do you want?
I want help keeping Gabi out
of jail until we find Sir.
Trent is building a case against her.
We need to stay one step ahead.
I'll ask around, see if there are
any legal loopholes
Gabi can jump through
to keep her out of jail.
And I can hack into DCPD, see what I
can find on Trent's progress.
I spoke with other Gabi's dad.
Guy's an unrepentant narcissist.
But DCPD confirms he is still in Vegas,
and his alibi checked out.
Where are we with the
boyfriend's skeletons?
- Zeke's working on it.
- Yeah.
We dropped off her laptop with him.
I'm going through her journal now.
No mention of the boyfriend yet.
I mean, honestly, she
really just talks about how
great she thinks you are.
They also found this in her room.
Book's a piece of crap.
But if we're dealing with a copycat
This book is like his personal manual.
Where's Trent?
I thought he was with you.
He is at the farmhouse.
If we're dealing with a copycat or Sir,
that place would have meaning to both.
No one knows the
farmhouse better than you.
Why aren't you there with him?
Because he considers
it an active crime scene
- for my case, too.
- Hey, wait.
Other Gabi says that she
was harassed by her youth
pastor, a Martin Right.
There was a restraining order
against Martin Right filed
just a couple of months ago.
It's time to shake the
truth out of this pastor.
I'll come with you.
Between this copycat, sir, and Trent,
you're not safe out there.
None of us are.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
The girl's mother came to me
and asked that I check on Gabi.
Why?
Gabi's father left.
Jocelyn hoped I could be
a positive male role model.
She worried about the
usual teenage temptations
drugs, sex.
So I offered to help steer
her down the right path.
You know, it's funny.
My captor, Sir, used
to say the same thing.
He swore he was steering
me down the right path
to greatness.
Why don't you tell us how steering
led to a restraining order?
I had taken Gabi out for a coffee.
She opened up about dating.
I assured her there was nothing
wrong with having a boyfriend,
but lying to her mother was a mistake.
And if I were her father
that's when she began screaming
at me that I was not her father
and that I needed to freaking leave.
- And that's all?
- Yes.
I had no idea she would
embellish what happened
and file charges.
I hate to ask, are you
sure she didn't run?
There's evidence she was drugged, so no.
And the only person she
felt was a danger was you.
[ENGINE TURNING OVER]
[LAUGHS]
Oh, God.
It just started raining,
and it feels so good.
It's that perfect rain, you know?
Not too cold.
Did you hear anything Dhan said?
You need to be safe.
I'm still alive ♪
Safe? Yes.
But afraid?
Never again.
I love the rain. I won't let
Sir take that from me, too.
You'll never see me run away ♪
You're soaked.
You didn't just walk from
your car here, did you?
You were getting your Gene Kelly on.
Yeah, something like that.
Lacey, this isn't funny.
This new impulsive streak's
going to put you in danger.
Excuse me for trying
to steal a little joy.

How's Margaret doing?
Not good.
I offered her to come and stay here,
but she insisted on
working through the night,
thinks it'll help keep her distracted.
Hey, Margaret.
Are you sure you don't
want to come here?
Um, no, I'm okay.
Thank you.
You find anything else in the journals?
Yeah, I think so.
In one of her entries, she,
she writes about Sir following
her home from school.
Listen to this.
"Next time, I'll try
to get him on video.
Without proof, I'm afraid

[SIRENS CHIRPS]
Trent is on his way back.
I made a mistake.
I want police back outside
the office day and night.
And if our clients are scared, so be it.
No, the clients come
first. Gabi, I'm fine.
I'll have the locks
changed before sunrise.
Guys, I know we are all on edge.
But what is Sir showing up even mean?
Is it a smokescreen, or is
it confirmation he can do it?
I don't know. We assume nothing.
When Sir was here, I studied him.
He was telling the truth
when he said he doesn't kidnap
teenage girls for trade.
All that means is he may
have kidnapped the other Gabi
- for a different reason.
- I also think that Lacey was right.
Sir is working with someone.
The back of his hair was flawless,
and he couldn't do that on his own.
And his infamous as
his face is, he would
never risk a barber shop.
Thank you.
- Margaret, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
He didn't touch me.
It's possible the copycat in this case
could be the accomplice helping Sir.
Just so you know, DCPD has been offered
outside help on this case.
- FBI?
- No.
Arthur DiNoble, the author
of "They Call Me Sir."
Absolutely not.
Gabi, I know how you feel.
But Sir allegedly stayed in touch
with Arthur over the years.
This could be our best shot.
No, there is no way Sir ever spoke
to that hack of a human being.
You sure about that?
At some point, either you use me for
my Sir expertise or you don't.
I understand everyone in
this room is pissed at me,
but I do not have to keep
justifying what I know.
What if Arthur is a copycat?
He's ambitious enough.
I wouldn't put anything
past that bastard.
Copycats often share similar
attributes to their hero subject.
He's the right age, gender, build.
He was also in contact with other Gabi.
I just searched his name in her DMs,
and they chatted a couple
of times about his book
and how much he respected you, Gabi.
And now he's inserting
himself into this case.
Looks like I have to talk to
that bastard one more time.
♪
Now, I take it Detective
Trent has passed
along my generous offer.
You give me full access
to the case files,
and I will assist in any way that I can.
Very generous.
Now, here's my counteroffer.
Tell us everything you know,
or DCPD will put you in jail.
[SCOFFS]
On what grounds?
Motive and opportunity.
You failed to mention
you knew the victim.
You also knew where she lived.
My officers found a letter from
you in her things in addition
to your DM exchanges.
You haven't had a best-seller in years.
A sequel, Sir striking
again, could revitalize
your faltering career.
Oh, please.
I already have a sequel in the works.
It is about you and
your recent abduction.
And a sequel to a sequel?
Well, that's just bad writing.
I'm done. He's a waste of our time.
Gabi, we've got a problem.
A second teen girl has been taken.
Ah, and the plot thickens.
First he takes his Gabi, and now
he's taken his Bella as well.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Her name is Charlotte
Meeks, also 16 years old.
As far as we can tell she
didn't know the first victim.
They went to different
schools across town.
I was seven when I was taken.
How is this supposed to be me?
The cases are definitely connected?
Chloroform was found in
Charlotte's room, too.
Also, this came in on the
other Gabi's DCPD tip line.
It's from Sir.
This is Hugh Evans.
You can call me Sir.
I have taken two young women,
my new Gabi, and this other one,
who is unworthy.
Only this time, no one
will escape or be found.
- It's not him.
- Gabi.
You either listen or you leave.
- He said Gabi, not Gabrielle.
- Exactly.
Sir believes names
have power and therefore
should never be shortened.
It's also how I know
that hack of an author
never spoke to Sir once.
Every quote he attributed
to Sir, he said "Gabi."
Give me five minutes.
I can probably prove it's AI.
Take all the time you want.
[TENSE MUSIC]
You and your ugly lies
are as much to blame
for Sir's notoriety and these girls
being in danger as the person
following your damn book,
and I'm going to make
sure the world knows it.
I'm not 16 and scared anymore.
I will spend every moment
for the rest of my life
making sure everyone sees you
for the filth that you are.
You know me.
You know spin is my superpower.
Want to try me?
What do you want to know?
You have never spoken
to Sir once, have you?
No, never.
Wait.
We can use him.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Okay. Zeke is all set.
Between him and DCPD,
any suspicious calls
that come into the tip line
will be monitored and traced.
All right.
30 Seconds till we start.
I hope Gabi's right and
the copycat calls in.
Trent, do you think it would
be possible for me to go back
to the bus station tonight?
Margaret, I didn't want to bring this up
with everything going on.
But have you been calling Rafael?
I mean, only to explain what happened
and to to apologize for hitting him.
There is another word for
what you're doing, harassment.
And he has filed a complaint
on top of the charges
he already filed.
I am trying to help you, but
you are not making this easy.
Good afternoon. This
is a special broadcast.
I'm here with Gabi Mosely, who
is working with DCPD to help
track down two missing teenage girls
taken from their own home.
Also, we have author Arthur DiNoble,
best known for his true crime
novel, "They Call Me Sir."
Now, our call line is open.
But before we start
taking calls, Arthur,
I understand that you have
a new book in the works
centered on the recent
kidnapping of Lacey Quinn.
Actually, after careful consideration,
I have decided to shelve that project.
After all, kidnapping victims deserve
the dignity of not having their
trauma exploited for profit.
I couldn't agree more.
[PHONE BUZZING]
I'm I'm so sorry.
It looks like we have
a technical problem.
This is not the call-in line.
This is my personal cell.
[PHONE BUZZING]
We clear?
Yes.
Answer on speaker.
Hello, Gabriel.
What do you want?
You'll forgive me for being brief.
I assume my call is being traced.
Still, I wanted to wish you good luck
finding these two young girls who
were taken from their homes.
Having taught you all that you know,
I am certain are capable
enough to find them.
All that you lack is
my own special insight.
To find who did this, Gabrielle,
you have to embrace the darkness.
If you do not, I fear one
of these two girls will die.
[DIAL TONE DRONING]
All right. Maybe he's
just trying to get attention.
Or maybe he really did take both girls.
No, there's a message in there.
I just don't know what it is.
I need time to think.
I think I found the connection.
Charlotte's a golfer just like Ryan.
Ryan goes to school with the other Gabi,
but he also belongs to the same
elite golf team in
Charlotte. He's the link.
Also, I finally hacked into
the other Gabi's laptop.
These were in a trash bin.
She tried to delete them.
He was dating them both.
I knew he was a lying son of a bitch.
I'm not lying.
Yes, I'm dating Gabi, but
there is nothing going on
between me and Charlotte.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Lying, cheating, philandering.
I've got 997 more.

Hello.
My name is Lacey Quinn, and
I survived being kidnapped
by Hugh Evans, AKA Sir, twice.
And now I've learned that
he's taken another young girl.
Her name is Elizabeth Gabrielle Mosely.
Hugh Evans, I am not afraid of you.
You are a sad, pathetic little man.
And I am going to hunt you
down like the animal you are.
Lacey, what have you done?
You are a sad, pathetic little man.
And I am going to hunt you

and it's a copycat, well, you picked
the wrong monster to hero worship,
because I'm coming for you too.
Lacey, you have no
idea what you've done.
Actually, I do.
With all due respect, Gabi, Sir
is not your personal monster.
He took me, too.
And I get to fight back any way I want.
I never said you couldn't.
But as your friend,
I'm worried about you.
I wish everyone would stop
treating me like I'm broken
and whispering behind my back.
I know what I'm doing.
Because of Sir, I lost my
voice for a very long time.
And I'm not going to
let that happen again.
There is nothing wrong
with reclaiming your voice,
but you are acting impulsively,
which is dangerous for our client.

So if you want to fire
me for telling the truth,
so be it because I'm
done biting my tongue.

Well, looks like I'm not the
only one that's mad at you.

on by all the recent press.
Well, copycats crave notoriety.

changed before sunrise.
Guys, I know we are all on edge.
But what is Sir showing up even mean?
Is it a smokescreen, or is
it confirmation he can do it?
I don't know. We assume nothing.
When Sir was here, I studied him.
He was telling the truth
when he said he doesn't kidnap
teenage girls for trade.
All that means is he may
have kidnapped the other Gabi
- for a different reason.
- I also think that Lacey was right.
Sir is working with someone.
The back of his hair was flawless,
and he couldn't do that on his own.
And his infamous as
his face is, he would
never risk a barber shop.
Thank you.
- Margaret, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
He didn't touch me.
It's possible the copycat in this case
could be the accomplice helping Sir.
Just so you know, DCPD has been offered
outside help on this case.
- FBI?
- No.
Arthur DiNoble, the author
of "They Call Me Sir."
Absolutely not.
Gabi, I know how you feel.
But Sir allegedly stayed in touch
with Arthur over the years.
This could be our best shot.
No, there is no way Sir ever spoke
to that hack of a human being.
You sure about that?
At some point, either you use me for
my Sir expertise or you don't.
I understand everyone in
this room is pissed at me,
but I do not have to keep
justifying what I know.
What if Arthur is a copycat?
He's ambitious enough.
I wouldn't put anything
past that bastard.
Copycats often share similar
attributes to their hero subject.
He's the right age, gender, build.
He was also in contact with other Gabi.
I just searched his name in her DMs,
and they chatted a couple
of times about his book
and how much he respected you, Gabi.
And now he's inserting
himself into this case.
Looks like I have to talk to
that bastard one more time.
♪
Now, I take it Detective
Trent has passed
along my generous offer.
You give me full access
to the case files,
and I will assist in any way that I can.
Very generous.
Now, here's my counteroffer.
Tell us everything you know,
or DCPD will put you in jail.
[SCOFFS]
On what grounds?
Motive and opportunity.
You failed to mention
you knew the victim.
You also knew where she lived.
My officers found a letter from
you in her things in addition
to your DM exchanges.
You haven't had a best-seller in years.
A sequel, Sir striking
again, could revitalize
your faltering career.
Oh, please.
I already have a sequel in the works.
It is about you and
your recent abduction.
And a sequel to a sequel?
Well, that's just bad writing.
I'm done. He's a waste of our time.
Gabi, we've got a problem.
A second teen girl has been taken.
Ah, and the plot thickens.
First he takes his Gabi, and now
he's taken his Bella as well.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Her name is Charlotte
Meeks, also 16 years old.
As far as we can tell she
didn't know the first victim.
They went to different
schools across town.
I was seven when I was taken.
How is this supposed to be me?
The cases are definitely connected?
Chloroform was found in
Charlotte's room, too.
Also, this came in on the
other Gabi's DCPD tip line.
It's from Sir.
This is Hugh Evans.
You can call me Sir.
I have taken two young women,
my new Gabi, and this other one,
who is unworthy.
Only this time, no one
will escape or be found.
- It's not him.
- Gabi.
You either listen or you leave.
- He said Gabi, not Gabrielle.
- Exactly.
Sir believes names
have power and therefore
should never be shortened.
It's also how I know
that hack of an author
never spoke to Sir once.
Every quote he attributed
to Sir, he said "Gabi."
Give me five minutes.
I can probably prove it's AI.
Take all the time you want.
[TENSE MUSIC]
You and your ugly lies
are as much to blame
for Sir's notoriety and these girls
being in danger as the person
following your damn book,
and I'm going to make
sure the world knows it.
I'm not 16 and scared anymore.
I will spend every moment
for the rest of my life
making sure everyone sees you
for the filth that you are.
You know me.
You know spin is my superpower.
Want to try me?
What do you want to know?
You have never spoken
to Sir once, have you?
No, never.
Wait.
We can use him.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Okay. Zeke is all set.
Between him and DCPD,
any suspicious calls
that come into the tip line
will be monitored and traced.
All right.
30 Seconds till we start.
I hope Gabi's right and
the copycat calls in.
Trent, do you think it would
be possible for me to go back
to the bus station tonight?
Margaret, I didn't want to bring this up
with everything going on.
But have you been calling Rafael?
I mean, only to explain what happened
and to to apologize for hitting him.
There is another word for
what you're doing, harassment.
And he has filed a complaint
on top of the charges
he already filed.
I am trying to help you, but
you are not making this easy.
Good afternoon. This
is a special broadcast.
I'm here with Gabi Mosely, who
is working with DCPD to help
track down two missing teenage girls
taken from their own home.
Also, we have author Arthur DiNoble,
best known for his true crime
novel, "They Call Me Sir."
Now, our call line is open.
But before we start
taking calls, Arthur,
I understand that you have
a new book in the works
centered on the recent
kidnapping of Lacey Quinn.
Actually, after careful consideration,
I have decided to shelve that project.
After all, kidnapping victims deserve
the dignity of not having their
trauma exploited for profit.
I couldn't agree more.
[PHONE BUZZING]
I'm I'm so sorry.
It looks like we have
a technical problem.
This is not the call-in line.
This is my personal cell.
[PHONE BUZZING]
We clear?
Yes.
Answer on speaker.
Hello, Gabriel.
What do you want?
You'll forgive me for being brief.
I assume my call is being traced.
Still, I wanted to wish you good luck
finding these two young girls who
were taken from their homes.
Having taught you all that you know,
I am certain are capable
enough to find them.
All that you lack is
my own special insight.
To find who did this, Gabrielle,
you have to embrace the darkness.
If you do not, I fear one
of these two girls will die.
[DIAL TONE DRONING]
All right. Maybe he's
just trying to get attention.
Or maybe he really did take both girls.
No, there's a message in there.
I just don't know what it is.
I need time to think.
I think I found the connection.
Charlotte's a golfer just like Ryan.
Ryan goes to school with the other Gabi,
but he also belongs to the same
elite golf team in
Charlotte. He's the link.
Also, I finally hacked into
the other Gabi's laptop.
These were in a trash bin.
She tried to delete them.
He was dating them both.
I knew he was a lying son of a bitch.
I'm not lying.
Yes, I'm dating Gabi, but
there is nothing going on
between me and Charlotte.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Lying, cheating, philandering.
I've got 997 more.
No, my dad can tell you.
Charlotte and I have been
best friends since we were six.
She's like my sister.
This is just us horsing around.
Yeah, well, clearly,
your girlfriend didn't
think it was so innocent.
I shouldn't have lied before.
Yeah. Gabi and I had a fight.
She lost it, screaming I was no better
than her no good cheating
piece-of-crap of a father.
And she went all dark
and crazy and crap.
And then after that, she stormed off,
and that's when I
heard Gabi was missing.
All right, that's enough.
We are done until I speak to a lawyer.
[TENSE MUSIC]
There's a lot here that doesn't add up.
Also, who are we even looking for?
Someone who knows how to use AI audio?
To me, that's someone young.
Sir said if I don't
embrace the darkness,
one of the two girls would die.
Not both, one.
I'm not following.
What if other Gabi
embraced her darkness.
She's someone younger, media-obsessed.
Who knows the case inside and out.
Also, copycats tend to be loners,
introverts craving attention.
We're not looking for
someone copying Sir.
We're looking for someone copying me.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I I don't understand.
You've got it wrong.
I know what we're saying
seems impossible, but think hard.
Does your daughter have a temper?
Have you ever seen a darker side to her?
I I thought it was
just regular teenage angst.
No, you didn't. That's why you had
the youth pastor from your church
- talk to her.
- Fine.
She has some difficulties.
But why on Earth would
she fake her own kidnapping
and then take this other girl?
Your daughter pretended to be
kidnapped for the attention.
And she took the other girl
out of jealousy and anger.
Look, we don't have time.
Charlotte's life is in danger.
Your daughter wants to be me,
get the same attention I
did have, everyone see her
as a hero for surviving Sir.
But the only way that lie works
is if Charlotte doesn't live
to tell the truth about what
your daughter really did.
Where would your daughter
hide out if she needed to?
