Truth Be Told (2019) s03e04 Episode Script
Never Take Your Eyes Off Her
1
I see.
Well, yes. But please, if if you
do see her, just let us know. Okay?
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
Any luck?
We scoured the mall like you
said, but nobody's seen Trini.
Yeah, okay. Will do.
[SIGHS] That was Aubrey's
mom. He's still not home.
- He's been missing all day too.
- Oh, my God.
[MARKUS] Look. Let's not panic, okay?
She's with Aubrey. She'll be home soon.
She'll be grounded for life,
but she'll be home soon.
Has she ever done anything like this?
- No.
- Babe.
[STAMMERS, SIGHS] All right.
A couple months ago, you know,
she, um, got into a car
with Aubrey, you know.
She said they went to the mall.
It only happened one time.
She knows not to do it again.
I'm gonna try another one of her
teammates. I'll be right back.
- [MARKUS SIGHS]
- Look. Don't throw anything at me,
but I'm worried that it
might be something more.
More? Like what?
We know that Aubrey and Trey have
known each other for years, right?
And Trey is a known trafficker
who we also believe killed Drea.
And he had a sex tape of Trini.
What if Aubrey is taking Trini to him?
Hold on. [CHUCKLES]
What are you saying?
- What if Aubrey is grooming Trini?
- No way.
Grooming takes time,
with-with many asks before it gets
to something like sex with johns.
All the research I've
done for my podcast
Could you please stop dragging
our daughter into your show?
- You agree with this?
- If Trini trusts Aubrey,
then she'll have no idea
how much danger she's in.
We need to find her as soon as possible.
I just don't want what
happened to Drea to happen to
Trini is not Drea.
- I'm sorry.
- She's smart.
- I taught We taught her better.
- [SIGHS] Yeah.
I'm confident if she gets in
trouble, she'll just leave.
Why don't I just keep digging?
Uh, you guys search this
room, I'll go to the school.
Maybe Eva can help, and I'll call
you if I find something. Anything.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[POPPY] Do you think
I'm pushing too hard?
If it is grooming,
I-I just wanna take the
right steps to intervene.
If Aubrey has taken her to Trey,
she's in danger of it being
a lot worse than grooming.
You may not be pushing hard enough.
Let's hope there's
something in Aubrey's locker.
You see anything?
No, not yet.
[TRINI] Sparkly. [CHUCKLES]
You know, my mom never
lets me get nail extensions.
I love them. Thank you, baby.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[MARKUS SIGHS]
- Hey.
- [AUBREY, TRINI CHUCKLE]
I got you something.
- [TRINI CHUCKLES]
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
- Hmm? [CHUCKLES]
- Ooh.
The fuck?
[BOTH SIGH]
Your turn.
Yeah, okay.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[CHUCKLES]
This just doesn't make any
sense. Why would Aubrey buy these?
Trini wouldn't even like these things.
[SIGHS]
How in the hell did this happen?
That's the thing about grooming.
She's probably just trying to be
the girl Aubrey wants her to be.
All right, everybody.
Thank you for being here.
Remember, we think Trini is
with the person who killed Drea,
so be careful.
We're gonna split
into groups. All right?
Uh, Desiree, can you take
downtown and Lake Merritt?
Uh-huh. I'll search Temescal too.
- Great. Thanks.
- [DESIREE] Mm-hmm.
Daddy, can the Capstones cover
Fruitvale, West Oakland and Chinatown?
We'll check the trap house
where we found Drea too.
I'll burn it down if I have to.
Nothing off the books,
Daddy. Just search.
Yeah, and baby, we got the
Hackman fundraiser dinner tomorrow.
- Should we cancel?
- No! No, go.
And if she's not home by tomorrow,
entice him to put up a reward.
Your burden is heavy.
I'm worried about you.
I just can't stop thinking about her.
Trini or your mother?
- Daddy, now is not the time.
- Have you told your sisters?
What's there to tell?
You can't fill your life
with other folks' problems
and brush your own aside.
I don't.
Besides, you got a lot too.
[STAMMERS] Capstones.
Your health. Now this.
- Look, sweetheart, I
- I don't need to know any more.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[POPPY] I'm sorry.
Can we just focus on
finding Trini? Please.
[POPPY] We've searched
everywhere, including the motel.
Nothing.
I was able to get two cars to
look between Woodland and 104th.
Also called SFPD
to see if any of the usual suspects
at Turk and Taylor know anything.
All of those are great, but
I-I-I think we need to go bigger.
Trini needs the Emily Mills treatment.
- You mean media coverage?
- [POPPY] As much as possible.
Have everyone looking for them.
And I-I can reach out to
other media outlets too.
But I-I think we should
start with the podcast.
Maybe I can appeal to both of them.
There's a chance that
Aubrey's in over his head
- and he might be looking for a way out.
- No.
No.
I'm sorry, but whatever his role,
I don't want this made public.
There'll be all these
assumptions about Trini.
It'll affect college
admissions. Getting a job.
Finding the love of her life.
If you do this, it
changes her life forever.
Our family forever.
Well, I could I could couch the
appeal as-as part of my research,
but then change the
location, ages, names.
Any details that could lead
back to Trini and Aubrey.
Even if you don't use her name,
what if people figure out
that you're talking about her?
We link Trini's name to trafficking,
there's no taking that back.
[MARKUS] Baby, listen. I
I understand exactly what you're
saying, but if we don't get her back,
what does that even matter? Hmm?
I mean, I hate to say it, but what
other choice do we have right now?
How will Aubrey even know
that you're talking to him?
I'll reference the chains.
No one even knows that we
found them in his locker.
All right. All right.
[ZARINA SNIFFLES, SIGHS]
We've seen the images for decades.
Half-naked women standing next
to cars, beers and burgers.
And we've accepted
these pairings as truths.
But the subliminal
conditioning of these images
is that women are commodities.
Goods to be won,
traded and consumed.
This is the lesson, the
lie we gave our sons.
That to be a man means
to dominate, to control.
To exploit.
And when they grow into what
they are conditioned to believe,
are they then not victims too?
I personally know such a son.
A son who was deceived.
Austin met a man at a summer camp,
of all places, who lied to him.
He was given a gold
chain with a crown pendant
in exchange for his
exploitation of a young girl.
We found the chain in his school locker.
His parents were devastated.
They couldn't imagine their son
ever doing something like this.
He's likely in over his head.
And, sadly, he's now missing.
If anyone listening knows Austin
and can share this with him, please do.
The Reconsidered tip
line is at your disposal.
And, Austin, if you hear this,
it's okay to come home.
This is not who you are.
Please, bring yourselves home.
The baby's heart is beating
quicker than I'd like,
and your blood pressure's high.
Are they gonna be all right?
Your stress level is dangerous,
but given the circumstances,
it makes sense.
Mommy and baby, for the
moment, are both okay.
But I need you to rest, relax.
- Stay home and stay off your feet.
- Dr. Harmony, I
Zarina, if you want to hold your
baby in your arms in another month,
you need to listen to me.
All right.
[POPPY] Mmm.
It's so surreal thinking how
Trini got wrapped up into this.
It happens fast, you know?
Took me a long time to realize
how my abuser had me
wrapped around his finger.
Can I ask you? What happened
to him? Your trafficker.
I don't know.
Once the spell was broken, I was
out. I never wanted to look back.
I tried to block out everything
that happened for so long.
It's just the the details
always come back.
You know, like like
fragments bleeding through.
Like what?
The smell of the room.
409 and cheap candles.
He would always wear this blue
ascot with, uh, orange polka dots.
Back then, I thought it
was the epitome of class.
After I got out of the life,
I would [INHALES DEEPLY]
dream about standing behind
him and choking him with it.
Would you consider pursuing
anything against him?
Aames could be a-a path.
We could build a case.
No, no. Yeah, I'm I don't really
entertain those thoughts anymore.
[POPPY] Hmm.
Look, this boy with
Aubrey has the same chain.
I know this kid. I-I Uh [SIGHS]
Cooper. Cooper something.
He, uh He graduated,
like, two years ago.
Let me go check the old
directories at school
and see what I can find out.
Okay. I'm gonna call Aames. And
you let me know if you find Cooper.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[LINE RINGS]
[AAMES] Hey, you got something for me?
Yeah, we found a another kid
wearing the same gold chain we found
in Aubrey's locker.
Can you find out who sells those?
You thinking it could be a lead to Trey?
Exactly.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Great.
Cooper.
Frankie, what's up, man? Yeah.
I just emailed you the folder.
I want you to monitor her debit
transactions, cell phone pings.
You know the drill.
Yeah, we're, um, we're hanging in there.
All right. Thanks. Talk to you soon.
Hey.
You know, bed rest means you
need to be in an actual bed.
- I mean, you heard the doc.
- Don't.
What?
Hey.
Hey, I'm in this with you,
all right? I'm hurting too.
You drove her into his arms.
I told you. I I told you to
apologize. I told you to talk to her.
So this is all my fault?
People are already theorizing that
Poppy's podcast is about Trini.
Well, we had to do something.
Besides, there's plenty
of blame to go around here.
You were the one that claimed
to be the "Trini Whisperer,"
having that sex talk without me.
We have a different
relationship than you two.
Really?
Then what'd you two talk about,
huh? How to make a sex tape?
[GASPS]
I told her to find someone who
loved her more than she loved them.
To never be somebody's backup choice,
so that she didn't make
the same mistake that I did.
[SIGHS] Zarina, you
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
[SIGHS]
[POPPY SIGHS]
I know Markus and Zarina are
in an impossible position.
[INHALES DEEPLY] I just hope
we're doing the right thing.
You're doing all you can.
Though, you picked a hella weird
time to bake through the pain.
[CHUCKLES] It isn't for me.
Oh, before I forget.
Mama's cookbook.
Oh. [SIGHS]
[GRUNTS]
Do you see all her notes in the margins?
Mama had little reminders
for how to make our favorites.
I don't know how to live
up to what she did for us.
Oh, I'm sure she made mistakes.
Oh, you can have it. [SCOFFS]
No, she gave it to you.
Yeah, to pass down to my kids, but
that's not happening anytime soon.
I'm not pregnant.
- I got my period.
- Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be. I'm fine.
It just wasn't meant to be, I guess.
[CHUCKLES] I mean, I'm not
even sure what I want anymore.
Whatever it is, I'd support you.
Keep the book till you figure it out.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Ezra. Come in.
In the flesh. Not
just over your AirPods.
Wha
Does the head of Boisterous
Media normally make house calls?
Honestly, I wanted to check
in. Make sure you were okay.
Oh. Oh, well, I'm fine. Busy,
but fine. Thank you. Come on in.
Can I get you, uh, some coffee or tea?
No, I'm good, thank you. I'll be quick.
We listened to the podcast you uploaded.
It was so moving.
- Oh, I appreciate that.
- Mmm.
And it means the world that
you're behind this season.
Mmm.
The son you referenced, Austin.
Is he connected to Drea's case?
I'm still investigating,
but, uh, it's possible.
Yeah.
Were you talking about Aubrey
Siddons and Trini Killebrew?
No. Why would you ask?
Our research department has been busy.
We were doing our own Trey deep dive
and found an old photo of
him at some sleepaway camp.
We looked up the other
people in the picture,
and one of the people
in the photo is Aubrey,
who goes to school with Drea. And Trini.
Oh, wow.
Just that if it was her,
I guess what we'd hope is that you
wouldn't pull any punches, you know?
No, I don't know.
She's the daughter of a former cop
who famously sued the department.
- If the person missing were Trini
- Yeah?
all I'm saying is,
- maybe her father being shot scared her
- Mm-hmm.
or made her depressed.
It could be worth exploring.
The more people that tune in
and hear her name, the better.
- For her.
- Mmm.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Markus isn't here.
Actually, I came to see you.
You have some news about Trini?
Not yet.
I brought you something.
I often tell a little
white lie about cooking,
but I really only know how
to make two things well.
A veggie omelet and banana
pudding. My mama's recipe.
This will, uh, help with
the cravings. Thank you.
And the potassium is good
for lowering blood pressure.
[SNIFFS] Thank you.
- I understand you're angry with me.
- Poppy, you know, I tell a white lie, too.
That I've got it all under
control. My life is good.
But the truth is, most days,
I'm just trying to figure out
how to keep it all together.
Including my family,
and you helped me make
a decision to save them.
[STAMMERS, SIGHS]
You live your life out in
the open, and I admire it.
I'm not angry at you.
[CRYING] I'm angry at
God. How could he let this
happen to my to my baby?
She'll come home, Zarina.
I know, I know. [SNIFFS]
I know she will.
But what happens when she does?
She wouldn't even tell me about Aubrey.
How will I ever know what
she's really going through?
If you can't pray for
yourself, can I pray for you?
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
- [POPPY] She's gonna come home.
- [SNIFFLES, CRIES]
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey. Sorry I'm late. Is he here?
That's him right there.
Vince helped me find him.
[COOPER] Ooh. Good moves. [CLAPPING]
Watch the left, watch the left.
See, I remember when Hook
Mitchell used to own these courts.
Principal Pierre?
Now, what you doing out here?
You You a basketball head?
Come on now. I was a
point guard in school.
[SCOFFS] Yo, Miss P, get out of here.
You You about five foot nothin'.
- So [CHUCKLING] I don't know what you
- You see me.
[LAUGHS]
[EVA] Come on.
Damn! Yo, yo, you broke
that motherfucker's ankles.
[LAUGHS]
Hey, Coop, you know Poppy Scoville?
Everybody does.
Oh, nice to meet you, Cooper.
Um. Wait, what's what's
going on? Am I in trouble?
Oh, no, no.
Miss Pierre said you're good
friends with Aubrey Siddons, right?
Where'd you get this chain?
I don't know. I'm, uh, kinda busy, so
Uh, I kinda need your help.
Aubrey and a friend of mine are missing.
Look, miss, I'm just
trying to watch some ball.
Man, I [SIGHS]
Wait. Cooper. Coop!
Did Trey do that to your ear?
Last year.
Motherfucker beat me so bad
he screwed up my equilibrium
and the rest of my fucking life.
I mean, it all started off as a hustle
to get guys like me and
Aubrey under his wing.
He got Aubrey hooked on the music.
Then you realize all that
niceness was bullshit.
He said we owed him
thousands of dollars,
and this whole thing was so he
can get us to do what he wanted.
An-And what did he
want you to do exactly?
[POPPY] It's okay. We've
all made mistakes, Cooper.
What did he want you to do?
[SIGHS] He wanted us
He wanted us to get high school
girls to fall in love with us
so we can get them to do things.
Like, make videos of them
having sex for him to use.
And the tapes, they were like
auditions to get the right girls.
Auditions for what?
[COOPER] You should be asking "For who?"
That's how Trey flipped his money.
You know, the-the blade
was just ticky-tack dough.
He made his bank by delivering
girls to someone else.
Okay, then tell us
who, Coop. Who was it?
I-I don't know, okay? I don't know.
I got out 'cause I-I couldn't do it.
So, I paid the price.
No, we need information right now.
I need to know everything you know.
[INHALES DEEPLY] Any
idea where Trey could be?
There's a recording studio
he used to talk about
taking girls to impress 'em.
I bet you anything, he's there.
But I don't know where
it's at, okay? I never went.
I swear.
[REPORTER] Meanwhile, Oakland
and Piedmont Police Departments
are no closer to finding Emily Mills,
but have not given up hope
that this young woman is alive.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hey, you with Markus?
[AAMES] Yeah, he's with me.
We traced the chains to
a store in San Leandro.
- Guess what. Trey didn't buy 'em.
- [POPPY] You're kidding.
- Nah.
- Wait for the good part.
The employee gave us the number
of the person who did buy 'em.
Yeah, I already had
one of my guys run it.
Her name is Alicia Rodriguez.
Alicia Rodriguez? Who's that?
[AAMES] Well, she's clean.
Nothing in OPD's database.
[STAMMERS] You know, I got to go.
Are we on speaker?
Oh, uh
- You okay?
- No, I'm fine.
I just have to go if I'm
gonna make that fundraiser.
Hey, listen, she's got
a bunch of press hits.
She has to be working for
someone who's a public figure.
Look at that.
She works for Andrew Finney.
Oh.
[BLUES MUSIC PLAYING]
[LILLIAN] Oh.
I knew it'd be here.
Good things always happen when
I wear my favorite lipstick.
Babe, when was the last time
that we actually got dressed
up to go out like this?
I can't remember.
Well, I can tell you one thing.
We are going to be the
best looking couple there.
Let me fix this for you, baby.
So, you gonna tell me what's going on?
What happened with you and
Poppy? Things seemed tense.
Shreve.
She's angry with me.
Why?
[SIGHS]
It's complicated.
I don't wanna lose her.
Well, baby, then make
sure that you don't.
She's your daughter.
[GUESTS CHATTERING]
[CHUCKLES]
I don't think I formally
thanked you for tonight, Sybil.
I I'm so grateful for
the Hackman endorsement.
I had nothing to do with it.
Well, I I hope I can
earn your support too,
not j not just your husband's.
Well, we'll see.
Rachel McKegney always struck
me as a great fit for Oakland
and Lee's businesses.
Maybe even a better fit.
[CHUCKLES] Enjoy the party.
Here you are, my dear.
- Oh, thank you, baby.
- Mm-hmm.
Any luck?
He just gave me the brushback.
I'll find a place to cut in.
Oh, well, wait.
I was thinking about what Poppy
said about asking Lee for money.
What if there's another ask?
[GUESTS APPLAUDING]
Thank you all for coming
and braving city traffic.
Tonight is a special night.
One where we come together
to create a better city.
Lee.
Andrew Finney is a man
who believes in change.
[CLEARS THROAT] Who's pro progress,
and who understands the needs of
both companies and communities alike.
So let's put our hands together
for your next mayor, Andrew Finney.
- Oh! Sorry.
- [GRUNTS] I'm so sorry.
Don't wear heels in grass.
While Andrew is making his way
over, I'd like to introduce myself.
Uh Hey, Lee. I'll
just just be a minute.
Did you invite him?
Lee did.
But it's certainly an
improvement on the evening.
[SHREVE] My name is Shreve Scoville.
That might not mean much to you.
I'm a new associate of Lee's.
Uh, my neighborhood is the place
where he wants to build
Questeur's new campus.
But my community is in need right now.
In need of good people, like Lee,
who care about what happens to them.
My friend's daughter has gone
missing. We need to find her.
The police will hardly help, so I
thought I'd come to someone who will,
Lee.
Can Questeur send an alert
to its millions of users
to find this missing girl?
- [STAMMERS] Anything for a friend, right?
- There you go. Thank you.
[LINE RINGING]
[SIGHS]
Good luck with that, all right?
[POP MUSIC PLAYING]
- Thank you for helping.
- Yeah, that was a strong play.
It's important for a man to recognize
when he's been outmaneuvered.
[INHALES DEEPLY] I'll do whatever
I can to help your friend.
But I don't play games.
Then we have more than bikes in common.
Eva. Oh, my God. I was
just trying to call you.
Come in.
- I, um He [STAMMERS] He
- I know.
He still wears that ascot.
Andrew Finney was your trafficker.
He bought the chains.
He's still doing it.
- He's still fucking doing it.
- Come on in.
I hear you rattling around out
there, Daddy. You can come in.
I saw Eva asleep on the couch.
[INHALES DEEPLY, SIGHS]
This case, it's taking its toll on her.
And what about you?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad at Mama.
I'm angry.
What she did to you. To us.
She lied to all of us.
[INHALES SHARPLY] I hate that
she feels like a stranger to me.
Like I didn't even
know my mother at all.
I don't know how to fix that.
[R & B MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
[SIGHS]
- Hey!
- [GASPS]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I thought you were
I'm really sorry. Sorry about that.
[SIGHS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
[TRINI GASPS] Oh!
[GASPS] Oh, my God.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
- [TRINI] Aubrey, what's going on?
- Put this on.
Wait, what were you guys fighting about?
Just fucking put this on now, bitch.
Come on, we're going somewhere else.
- [GASPS]
- Damn it, Trini! Just fucking take it!
No No! [STAMMERS] I wanna go home.
Just take me home,
please. [BREATHES HEAVILY]
Aubrey, take me home.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You were right about Trey.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
And if you really love me
I need you to do this because he
said he's gonna release our tape
to your friends.
Then he's gonna kill me.
What? What are you talking about?
We don't have time. Just do it.
No, no, no! Look, I'll
Give me your phone, okay? I'll
call my dad and he can help us.
Trini, if you really love
me, I need you to prove it.
Mm-hmm. Got it.
Got it. Thanks, Des.
I'm gonna start south
and work my way north.
I'll keep you posted.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, good morning.
Morning. Thanks for the clothes.
Absolutely.
- [SIGHS]
- Uh, you get any sleep?
[CHUCKLES] Not much.
How are you feeling?
I thought I had processed
everything that had happened to me.
'Cause I saw him at the Get
Out the Vote. I was fine.
But when Drea went missing
and I just I had a bad feeling.
So I-I tried to hit her on
Questeur. She wouldn't respond.
I went looking for girls
with the same tattoo,
you know, on the blade.
I couldn't find anyone
with the same brand.
But when I saw the needle
and thread at the motel
where they found Drea
Why needle and thread?
It's a tattooing technique.
It's how Finney branded me.
I got it removed, but it's
it's always right there.
I'm so sorry.
He can't get away with this, Poppy.
Do you think Alicia knows the truth?
I don't think so, but
we got to find out.
My sisters and the Capstones
have been looking into
recording studios all night.
I still think that's a good
bet to find Trini and Aubrey.
So you think Emily's in here?
I had a hunch Victor Ignas,
Peter's old business partner,
might have something to do
with Emily's disappearance.
So I had tech do a deep
dive on his finances.
Uh, usually the smart ones know
how not to leave a paper trail.
"Smart" being the operative word.
This is buried deep
in the S-corp filings.
He's been making mortgage
payments for years.
It's a nice little tax write-off.
Decent place to hide
a missing girl, yeah?
This mail's all six months old.
That's nice.
This is new.
Someone's been here.
I've got the back. Take the side.
All right.
Unless you got eyes on Emily,
no warrant means no entry.
I've been fucked on
technicalities before.
Emily. Emily Mills.
[SIGHS]
Shit.
[PHONE VIBRATING]
- Hey, Daddy.
- [SHREVE] Hackman came through.
- The Questeur alert he put out worked.
- Yes. Finally, a win.
A gas station clerk in West Oakland
said he saw Aubrey buying snacks
while the girl was in the car.
- Will you send me that address?
- Lil's sending it now.
He said they were driving
a black BMW Coupé.
Didn't get the license plates.
- Do you need me to come to you?
- No, no, no. I I'll be okay.
I'm gonna call Markus.
- Thank you, Daddy.
- I love you. And be safe.
I love you too.
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS]
[LINE RINGS]
Hey, I think I know where Trini is.
Yeah, yeah. Gonna text you the address.
- There's nobody here.
- Sun?
Yep. Got something?
Right there.
I think that's Peter's ski jacket.
He wore it in a photo of
a family trip to Austria.
[SUN SCOFFS]
I thought he and Victor were
enemies. How did it end up here?
Well, maybe Peter lied.
Maybe, uh Maybe he's been in
touch with Victor this whole time.
[PHONE VIBRATING]
Hey, Poppy. Now is not a good time
So you You think Trey is
holding Trini there right now?
All right, all right. Send me
the address. Um, I'll be there.
- Listen, I, uh I gotta
- Let's go.
[MARKUS SIGHS]
[POPPY] That's the car.
They're here.
- All right.
- Let me see how far away Aames is.
- I'm not waiting for him.
- [SCOFFS]
[SIGHS, GRUNTING]
Trini.
Trini!
Fuck this. [GRUNTS]
[MARKUS GRUNTING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY] Trini!
Trini!
[POPPY] Trini!
[BREATHES HEAVILY] Trini!
- Markus!
- Hey!
Trini?
Trini?
[TIRES SCREECH]
Get your friend. I'll go around back.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GUNSHOTS]
[SUN] Stay back. He pulled a gun.
- No.
- I said stay back.
Hey, Trey! Where's Trini, huh?
Don't you die on me, you motherfucker.
Where is she? Where's my baby?
- Trey! Trey, where is she?
- [MOUTHING] Markus.
- Markus!
- Where is my daughter?
[POPPY] He's gone.
[MARKUS] He's the only one
who knows where Trini is.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- He's gone.
[SIGHS]
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
I see.
Well, yes. But please, if if you
do see her, just let us know. Okay?
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
Any luck?
We scoured the mall like you
said, but nobody's seen Trini.
Yeah, okay. Will do.
[SIGHS] That was Aubrey's
mom. He's still not home.
- He's been missing all day too.
- Oh, my God.
[MARKUS] Look. Let's not panic, okay?
She's with Aubrey. She'll be home soon.
She'll be grounded for life,
but she'll be home soon.
Has she ever done anything like this?
- No.
- Babe.
[STAMMERS, SIGHS] All right.
A couple months ago, you know,
she, um, got into a car
with Aubrey, you know.
She said they went to the mall.
It only happened one time.
She knows not to do it again.
I'm gonna try another one of her
teammates. I'll be right back.
- [MARKUS SIGHS]
- Look. Don't throw anything at me,
but I'm worried that it
might be something more.
More? Like what?
We know that Aubrey and Trey have
known each other for years, right?
And Trey is a known trafficker
who we also believe killed Drea.
And he had a sex tape of Trini.
What if Aubrey is taking Trini to him?
Hold on. [CHUCKLES]
What are you saying?
- What if Aubrey is grooming Trini?
- No way.
Grooming takes time,
with-with many asks before it gets
to something like sex with johns.
All the research I've
done for my podcast
Could you please stop dragging
our daughter into your show?
- You agree with this?
- If Trini trusts Aubrey,
then she'll have no idea
how much danger she's in.
We need to find her as soon as possible.
I just don't want what
happened to Drea to happen to
Trini is not Drea.
- I'm sorry.
- She's smart.
- I taught We taught her better.
- [SIGHS] Yeah.
I'm confident if she gets in
trouble, she'll just leave.
Why don't I just keep digging?
Uh, you guys search this
room, I'll go to the school.
Maybe Eva can help, and I'll call
you if I find something. Anything.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[POPPY] Do you think
I'm pushing too hard?
If it is grooming,
I-I just wanna take the
right steps to intervene.
If Aubrey has taken her to Trey,
she's in danger of it being
a lot worse than grooming.
You may not be pushing hard enough.
Let's hope there's
something in Aubrey's locker.
You see anything?
No, not yet.
[TRINI] Sparkly. [CHUCKLES]
You know, my mom never
lets me get nail extensions.
I love them. Thank you, baby.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[MARKUS SIGHS]
- Hey.
- [AUBREY, TRINI CHUCKLE]
I got you something.
- [TRINI CHUCKLES]
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
- Hmm? [CHUCKLES]
- Ooh.
The fuck?
[BOTH SIGH]
Your turn.
Yeah, okay.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[CHUCKLES]
This just doesn't make any
sense. Why would Aubrey buy these?
Trini wouldn't even like these things.
[SIGHS]
How in the hell did this happen?
That's the thing about grooming.
She's probably just trying to be
the girl Aubrey wants her to be.
All right, everybody.
Thank you for being here.
Remember, we think Trini is
with the person who killed Drea,
so be careful.
We're gonna split
into groups. All right?
Uh, Desiree, can you take
downtown and Lake Merritt?
Uh-huh. I'll search Temescal too.
- Great. Thanks.
- [DESIREE] Mm-hmm.
Daddy, can the Capstones cover
Fruitvale, West Oakland and Chinatown?
We'll check the trap house
where we found Drea too.
I'll burn it down if I have to.
Nothing off the books,
Daddy. Just search.
Yeah, and baby, we got the
Hackman fundraiser dinner tomorrow.
- Should we cancel?
- No! No, go.
And if she's not home by tomorrow,
entice him to put up a reward.
Your burden is heavy.
I'm worried about you.
I just can't stop thinking about her.
Trini or your mother?
- Daddy, now is not the time.
- Have you told your sisters?
What's there to tell?
You can't fill your life
with other folks' problems
and brush your own aside.
I don't.
Besides, you got a lot too.
[STAMMERS] Capstones.
Your health. Now this.
- Look, sweetheart, I
- I don't need to know any more.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[POPPY] I'm sorry.
Can we just focus on
finding Trini? Please.
[POPPY] We've searched
everywhere, including the motel.
Nothing.
I was able to get two cars to
look between Woodland and 104th.
Also called SFPD
to see if any of the usual suspects
at Turk and Taylor know anything.
All of those are great, but
I-I-I think we need to go bigger.
Trini needs the Emily Mills treatment.
- You mean media coverage?
- [POPPY] As much as possible.
Have everyone looking for them.
And I-I can reach out to
other media outlets too.
But I-I think we should
start with the podcast.
Maybe I can appeal to both of them.
There's a chance that
Aubrey's in over his head
- and he might be looking for a way out.
- No.
No.
I'm sorry, but whatever his role,
I don't want this made public.
There'll be all these
assumptions about Trini.
It'll affect college
admissions. Getting a job.
Finding the love of her life.
If you do this, it
changes her life forever.
Our family forever.
Well, I could I could couch the
appeal as-as part of my research,
but then change the
location, ages, names.
Any details that could lead
back to Trini and Aubrey.
Even if you don't use her name,
what if people figure out
that you're talking about her?
We link Trini's name to trafficking,
there's no taking that back.
[MARKUS] Baby, listen. I
I understand exactly what you're
saying, but if we don't get her back,
what does that even matter? Hmm?
I mean, I hate to say it, but what
other choice do we have right now?
How will Aubrey even know
that you're talking to him?
I'll reference the chains.
No one even knows that we
found them in his locker.
All right. All right.
[ZARINA SNIFFLES, SIGHS]
We've seen the images for decades.
Half-naked women standing next
to cars, beers and burgers.
And we've accepted
these pairings as truths.
But the subliminal
conditioning of these images
is that women are commodities.
Goods to be won,
traded and consumed.
This is the lesson, the
lie we gave our sons.
That to be a man means
to dominate, to control.
To exploit.
And when they grow into what
they are conditioned to believe,
are they then not victims too?
I personally know such a son.
A son who was deceived.
Austin met a man at a summer camp,
of all places, who lied to him.
He was given a gold
chain with a crown pendant
in exchange for his
exploitation of a young girl.
We found the chain in his school locker.
His parents were devastated.
They couldn't imagine their son
ever doing something like this.
He's likely in over his head.
And, sadly, he's now missing.
If anyone listening knows Austin
and can share this with him, please do.
The Reconsidered tip
line is at your disposal.
And, Austin, if you hear this,
it's okay to come home.
This is not who you are.
Please, bring yourselves home.
The baby's heart is beating
quicker than I'd like,
and your blood pressure's high.
Are they gonna be all right?
Your stress level is dangerous,
but given the circumstances,
it makes sense.
Mommy and baby, for the
moment, are both okay.
But I need you to rest, relax.
- Stay home and stay off your feet.
- Dr. Harmony, I
Zarina, if you want to hold your
baby in your arms in another month,
you need to listen to me.
All right.
[POPPY] Mmm.
It's so surreal thinking how
Trini got wrapped up into this.
It happens fast, you know?
Took me a long time to realize
how my abuser had me
wrapped around his finger.
Can I ask you? What happened
to him? Your trafficker.
I don't know.
Once the spell was broken, I was
out. I never wanted to look back.
I tried to block out everything
that happened for so long.
It's just the the details
always come back.
You know, like like
fragments bleeding through.
Like what?
The smell of the room.
409 and cheap candles.
He would always wear this blue
ascot with, uh, orange polka dots.
Back then, I thought it
was the epitome of class.
After I got out of the life,
I would [INHALES DEEPLY]
dream about standing behind
him and choking him with it.
Would you consider pursuing
anything against him?
Aames could be a-a path.
We could build a case.
No, no. Yeah, I'm I don't really
entertain those thoughts anymore.
[POPPY] Hmm.
Look, this boy with
Aubrey has the same chain.
I know this kid. I-I Uh [SIGHS]
Cooper. Cooper something.
He, uh He graduated,
like, two years ago.
Let me go check the old
directories at school
and see what I can find out.
Okay. I'm gonna call Aames. And
you let me know if you find Cooper.
- Okay.
- Okay.
[LINE RINGS]
[AAMES] Hey, you got something for me?
Yeah, we found a another kid
wearing the same gold chain we found
in Aubrey's locker.
Can you find out who sells those?
You thinking it could be a lead to Trey?
Exactly.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Great.
Cooper.
Frankie, what's up, man? Yeah.
I just emailed you the folder.
I want you to monitor her debit
transactions, cell phone pings.
You know the drill.
Yeah, we're, um, we're hanging in there.
All right. Thanks. Talk to you soon.
Hey.
You know, bed rest means you
need to be in an actual bed.
- I mean, you heard the doc.
- Don't.
What?
Hey.
Hey, I'm in this with you,
all right? I'm hurting too.
You drove her into his arms.
I told you. I I told you to
apologize. I told you to talk to her.
So this is all my fault?
People are already theorizing that
Poppy's podcast is about Trini.
Well, we had to do something.
Besides, there's plenty
of blame to go around here.
You were the one that claimed
to be the "Trini Whisperer,"
having that sex talk without me.
We have a different
relationship than you two.
Really?
Then what'd you two talk about,
huh? How to make a sex tape?
[GASPS]
I told her to find someone who
loved her more than she loved them.
To never be somebody's backup choice,
so that she didn't make
the same mistake that I did.
[SIGHS] Zarina, you
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
[SIGHS]
[POPPY SIGHS]
I know Markus and Zarina are
in an impossible position.
[INHALES DEEPLY] I just hope
we're doing the right thing.
You're doing all you can.
Though, you picked a hella weird
time to bake through the pain.
[CHUCKLES] It isn't for me.
Oh, before I forget.
Mama's cookbook.
Oh. [SIGHS]
[GRUNTS]
Do you see all her notes in the margins?
Mama had little reminders
for how to make our favorites.
I don't know how to live
up to what she did for us.
Oh, I'm sure she made mistakes.
Oh, you can have it. [SCOFFS]
No, she gave it to you.
Yeah, to pass down to my kids, but
that's not happening anytime soon.
I'm not pregnant.
- I got my period.
- Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be. I'm fine.
It just wasn't meant to be, I guess.
[CHUCKLES] I mean, I'm not
even sure what I want anymore.
Whatever it is, I'd support you.
Keep the book till you figure it out.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Ezra. Come in.
In the flesh. Not
just over your AirPods.
Wha
Does the head of Boisterous
Media normally make house calls?
Honestly, I wanted to check
in. Make sure you were okay.
Oh. Oh, well, I'm fine. Busy,
but fine. Thank you. Come on in.
Can I get you, uh, some coffee or tea?
No, I'm good, thank you. I'll be quick.
We listened to the podcast you uploaded.
It was so moving.
- Oh, I appreciate that.
- Mmm.
And it means the world that
you're behind this season.
Mmm.
The son you referenced, Austin.
Is he connected to Drea's case?
I'm still investigating,
but, uh, it's possible.
Yeah.
Were you talking about Aubrey
Siddons and Trini Killebrew?
No. Why would you ask?
Our research department has been busy.
We were doing our own Trey deep dive
and found an old photo of
him at some sleepaway camp.
We looked up the other
people in the picture,
and one of the people
in the photo is Aubrey,
who goes to school with Drea. And Trini.
Oh, wow.
Just that if it was her,
I guess what we'd hope is that you
wouldn't pull any punches, you know?
No, I don't know.
She's the daughter of a former cop
who famously sued the department.
- If the person missing were Trini
- Yeah?
all I'm saying is,
- maybe her father being shot scared her
- Mm-hmm.
or made her depressed.
It could be worth exploring.
The more people that tune in
and hear her name, the better.
- For her.
- Mmm.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Markus isn't here.
Actually, I came to see you.
You have some news about Trini?
Not yet.
I brought you something.
I often tell a little
white lie about cooking,
but I really only know how
to make two things well.
A veggie omelet and banana
pudding. My mama's recipe.
This will, uh, help with
the cravings. Thank you.
And the potassium is good
for lowering blood pressure.
[SNIFFS] Thank you.
- I understand you're angry with me.
- Poppy, you know, I tell a white lie, too.
That I've got it all under
control. My life is good.
But the truth is, most days,
I'm just trying to figure out
how to keep it all together.
Including my family,
and you helped me make
a decision to save them.
[STAMMERS, SIGHS]
You live your life out in
the open, and I admire it.
I'm not angry at you.
[CRYING] I'm angry at
God. How could he let this
happen to my to my baby?
She'll come home, Zarina.
I know, I know. [SNIFFS]
I know she will.
But what happens when she does?
She wouldn't even tell me about Aubrey.
How will I ever know what
she's really going through?
If you can't pray for
yourself, can I pray for you?
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
- [POPPY] She's gonna come home.
- [SNIFFLES, CRIES]
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey. Sorry I'm late. Is he here?
That's him right there.
Vince helped me find him.
[COOPER] Ooh. Good moves. [CLAPPING]
Watch the left, watch the left.
See, I remember when Hook
Mitchell used to own these courts.
Principal Pierre?
Now, what you doing out here?
You You a basketball head?
Come on now. I was a
point guard in school.
[SCOFFS] Yo, Miss P, get out of here.
You You about five foot nothin'.
- So [CHUCKLING] I don't know what you
- You see me.
[LAUGHS]
[EVA] Come on.
Damn! Yo, yo, you broke
that motherfucker's ankles.
[LAUGHS]
Hey, Coop, you know Poppy Scoville?
Everybody does.
Oh, nice to meet you, Cooper.
Um. Wait, what's what's
going on? Am I in trouble?
Oh, no, no.
Miss Pierre said you're good
friends with Aubrey Siddons, right?
Where'd you get this chain?
I don't know. I'm, uh, kinda busy, so
Uh, I kinda need your help.
Aubrey and a friend of mine are missing.
Look, miss, I'm just
trying to watch some ball.
Man, I [SIGHS]
Wait. Cooper. Coop!
Did Trey do that to your ear?
Last year.
Motherfucker beat me so bad
he screwed up my equilibrium
and the rest of my fucking life.
I mean, it all started off as a hustle
to get guys like me and
Aubrey under his wing.
He got Aubrey hooked on the music.
Then you realize all that
niceness was bullshit.
He said we owed him
thousands of dollars,
and this whole thing was so he
can get us to do what he wanted.
An-And what did he
want you to do exactly?
[POPPY] It's okay. We've
all made mistakes, Cooper.
What did he want you to do?
[SIGHS] He wanted us
He wanted us to get high school
girls to fall in love with us
so we can get them to do things.
Like, make videos of them
having sex for him to use.
And the tapes, they were like
auditions to get the right girls.
Auditions for what?
[COOPER] You should be asking "For who?"
That's how Trey flipped his money.
You know, the-the blade
was just ticky-tack dough.
He made his bank by delivering
girls to someone else.
Okay, then tell us
who, Coop. Who was it?
I-I don't know, okay? I don't know.
I got out 'cause I-I couldn't do it.
So, I paid the price.
No, we need information right now.
I need to know everything you know.
[INHALES DEEPLY] Any
idea where Trey could be?
There's a recording studio
he used to talk about
taking girls to impress 'em.
I bet you anything, he's there.
But I don't know where
it's at, okay? I never went.
I swear.
[REPORTER] Meanwhile, Oakland
and Piedmont Police Departments
are no closer to finding Emily Mills,
but have not given up hope
that this young woman is alive.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hey, you with Markus?
[AAMES] Yeah, he's with me.
We traced the chains to
a store in San Leandro.
- Guess what. Trey didn't buy 'em.
- [POPPY] You're kidding.
- Nah.
- Wait for the good part.
The employee gave us the number
of the person who did buy 'em.
Yeah, I already had
one of my guys run it.
Her name is Alicia Rodriguez.
Alicia Rodriguez? Who's that?
[AAMES] Well, she's clean.
Nothing in OPD's database.
[STAMMERS] You know, I got to go.
Are we on speaker?
Oh, uh
- You okay?
- No, I'm fine.
I just have to go if I'm
gonna make that fundraiser.
Hey, listen, she's got
a bunch of press hits.
She has to be working for
someone who's a public figure.
Look at that.
She works for Andrew Finney.
Oh.
[BLUES MUSIC PLAYING]
[LILLIAN] Oh.
I knew it'd be here.
Good things always happen when
I wear my favorite lipstick.
Babe, when was the last time
that we actually got dressed
up to go out like this?
I can't remember.
Well, I can tell you one thing.
We are going to be the
best looking couple there.
Let me fix this for you, baby.
So, you gonna tell me what's going on?
What happened with you and
Poppy? Things seemed tense.
Shreve.
She's angry with me.
Why?
[SIGHS]
It's complicated.
I don't wanna lose her.
Well, baby, then make
sure that you don't.
She's your daughter.
[GUESTS CHATTERING]
[CHUCKLES]
I don't think I formally
thanked you for tonight, Sybil.
I I'm so grateful for
the Hackman endorsement.
I had nothing to do with it.
Well, I I hope I can
earn your support too,
not j not just your husband's.
Well, we'll see.
Rachel McKegney always struck
me as a great fit for Oakland
and Lee's businesses.
Maybe even a better fit.
[CHUCKLES] Enjoy the party.
Here you are, my dear.
- Oh, thank you, baby.
- Mm-hmm.
Any luck?
He just gave me the brushback.
I'll find a place to cut in.
Oh, well, wait.
I was thinking about what Poppy
said about asking Lee for money.
What if there's another ask?
[GUESTS APPLAUDING]
Thank you all for coming
and braving city traffic.
Tonight is a special night.
One where we come together
to create a better city.
Lee.
Andrew Finney is a man
who believes in change.
[CLEARS THROAT] Who's pro progress,
and who understands the needs of
both companies and communities alike.
So let's put our hands together
for your next mayor, Andrew Finney.
- Oh! Sorry.
- [GRUNTS] I'm so sorry.
Don't wear heels in grass.
While Andrew is making his way
over, I'd like to introduce myself.
Uh Hey, Lee. I'll
just just be a minute.
Did you invite him?
Lee did.
But it's certainly an
improvement on the evening.
[SHREVE] My name is Shreve Scoville.
That might not mean much to you.
I'm a new associate of Lee's.
Uh, my neighborhood is the place
where he wants to build
Questeur's new campus.
But my community is in need right now.
In need of good people, like Lee,
who care about what happens to them.
My friend's daughter has gone
missing. We need to find her.
The police will hardly help, so I
thought I'd come to someone who will,
Lee.
Can Questeur send an alert
to its millions of users
to find this missing girl?
- [STAMMERS] Anything for a friend, right?
- There you go. Thank you.
[LINE RINGING]
[SIGHS]
Good luck with that, all right?
[POP MUSIC PLAYING]
- Thank you for helping.
- Yeah, that was a strong play.
It's important for a man to recognize
when he's been outmaneuvered.
[INHALES DEEPLY] I'll do whatever
I can to help your friend.
But I don't play games.
Then we have more than bikes in common.
Eva. Oh, my God. I was
just trying to call you.
Come in.
- I, um He [STAMMERS] He
- I know.
He still wears that ascot.
Andrew Finney was your trafficker.
He bought the chains.
He's still doing it.
- He's still fucking doing it.
- Come on in.
I hear you rattling around out
there, Daddy. You can come in.
I saw Eva asleep on the couch.
[INHALES DEEPLY, SIGHS]
This case, it's taking its toll on her.
And what about you?
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad at Mama.
I'm angry.
What she did to you. To us.
She lied to all of us.
[INHALES SHARPLY] I hate that
she feels like a stranger to me.
Like I didn't even
know my mother at all.
I don't know how to fix that.
[R & B MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
[SIGHS]
- Hey!
- [GASPS]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I thought you were
I'm really sorry. Sorry about that.
[SIGHS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
[TRINI GASPS] Oh!
[GASPS] Oh, my God.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
- [TRINI] Aubrey, what's going on?
- Put this on.
Wait, what were you guys fighting about?
Just fucking put this on now, bitch.
Come on, we're going somewhere else.
- [GASPS]
- Damn it, Trini! Just fucking take it!
No No! [STAMMERS] I wanna go home.
Just take me home,
please. [BREATHES HEAVILY]
Aubrey, take me home.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You were right about Trey.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
And if you really love me
I need you to do this because he
said he's gonna release our tape
to your friends.
Then he's gonna kill me.
What? What are you talking about?
We don't have time. Just do it.
No, no, no! Look, I'll
Give me your phone, okay? I'll
call my dad and he can help us.
Trini, if you really love
me, I need you to prove it.
Mm-hmm. Got it.
Got it. Thanks, Des.
I'm gonna start south
and work my way north.
I'll keep you posted.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, good morning.
Morning. Thanks for the clothes.
Absolutely.
- [SIGHS]
- Uh, you get any sleep?
[CHUCKLES] Not much.
How are you feeling?
I thought I had processed
everything that had happened to me.
'Cause I saw him at the Get
Out the Vote. I was fine.
But when Drea went missing
and I just I had a bad feeling.
So I-I tried to hit her on
Questeur. She wouldn't respond.
I went looking for girls
with the same tattoo,
you know, on the blade.
I couldn't find anyone
with the same brand.
But when I saw the needle
and thread at the motel
where they found Drea
Why needle and thread?
It's a tattooing technique.
It's how Finney branded me.
I got it removed, but it's
it's always right there.
I'm so sorry.
He can't get away with this, Poppy.
Do you think Alicia knows the truth?
I don't think so, but
we got to find out.
My sisters and the Capstones
have been looking into
recording studios all night.
I still think that's a good
bet to find Trini and Aubrey.
So you think Emily's in here?
I had a hunch Victor Ignas,
Peter's old business partner,
might have something to do
with Emily's disappearance.
So I had tech do a deep
dive on his finances.
Uh, usually the smart ones know
how not to leave a paper trail.
"Smart" being the operative word.
This is buried deep
in the S-corp filings.
He's been making mortgage
payments for years.
It's a nice little tax write-off.
Decent place to hide
a missing girl, yeah?
This mail's all six months old.
That's nice.
This is new.
Someone's been here.
I've got the back. Take the side.
All right.
Unless you got eyes on Emily,
no warrant means no entry.
I've been fucked on
technicalities before.
Emily. Emily Mills.

I think that's Peter's ski jacket.
He wore it in a photo of
a family trip to Austria.
[SUN SCOFFS]
I thought he and Victor were
enemies. How did it end up here?
Well, maybe Peter lied.
Maybe, uh Maybe he's been in
touch with Victor this whole time.
