Anything to drink?
Three strawberry daiquiris, por favor.
Uh, claro. Three virgin daiquiris?
No. With alcohol, please?
I'm sorry, but the lady at the cabana
she made it clear that you
are not to have any alcohol.
Okay, never mind.
Sorry.
Sorry, guys.
Who is she talking to?
It looks like she's
drinking with that guy.
She is.
Leah, now's our chance.
Let's work your mom so
we can go to that party.

Hey, girls.
Oh, Leah.
Your shoulders are a little red.
Here, come here, honey.
Oh, um, actually, we're

No, no, no. Um, you stay, have fun.
We we need some girl time.
Girl time?
You're one of the girls.
But, like, what Leah said.
All right, fine.

♪
Hey.
We're looking for Leah Cardwell, 17,
recently graduated
from St. Anne's Academy,
a private school in Rhode Island.
She was staying at Azure Sands Resort
with her mom and two
friends on a senior trip.
How long has she been missing now?
A little over ten hours.
Anything yet that looks like foul play?
All we know is that her
purse and mobile phone
were found on the beach and
there was alcohol involved.
A witness said she was getting trolleyed
at the beach party here last night,
which is when she was last seen.
This is our local contact.
Hi, Detective Letícia Santos.
We may have a person of interest.
Leah went swimming with
an unidentified adult male
who goes by Nico.
Any CCTV around here
or was the party more off the radar?
Off the radar.
Okay, let's get credit card receipts,
interviews of waitstaff,
and trying to identify any attendees.
- Of course.
- Anything off Leah's phone yet?
Yeah, 15 unread texts from her mom.
She was acting as the
girls' chaperone, apparently.
Who called the press?
The mom did.
Isn't it a little soon for that?
We got to control what
information gets out there.
Well, she insisted against our wishes.
All right.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]
Her name is Leah Cardwell.
And I'm never gonna stop
looking for her, okay?
So we're gonna get okay. Thank you.
- Hold on.
- [REPORTERS CHATTERING]
FBI?
Yeah, that's right.
Agent Mitchell. This is Agent Vo.
Do you know anything about this
guy she was with, this Nico?
No. She's never been to Portugal.
Do you have any reason to believe
she would have ran off
with him voluntarily?
No, that is not Leah.
And she hasn't contacted her friends.
And and Olivia said that she
found her purse on the beach.
And you haven't received
any kind of ransom note?
Oh, my God, do you do
you think she was kidnapped?
Listen, we don't know yet.
We're just starting from scratch here,
so we got to exhaust every
possible scenario, right?
So if you don't mind,
we need access to your
phone and your email, okay?
Just in case the request
does come through.
Okay.
Did you know the girls
were at the party?
No, they lied to me.
I mean, they're teenagers.
That's what they do.
Has anything like this
happened before with Leah?
- What do you mean?
- Staying out late, possibly all night,
maybe making up a story
on the other side of it?
No, never.
Just hang in there. Try to stay calm.
We're gonna be in contact. Okay?
Constant contact.
Constant contact, absolutely.
[SIGHS]
Leah's mom said that you
lied about the beach party.
It was Zoe's idea. I
I didn't want to go.
Look, at least I stuck
to virgin piña coladas.
When did you last see Leah?
With Nico.
And Zoe and whatever
random guy she was with.
I went to the bathroom
and there was a huge line
and by the time I got back,
Zoe told me that Leah
went swimming with Nico.
And I'm like, seriously, in her state?
So that's when I went looking
for her and I found her purse.
Did this Nico happen
to mention a surname?
Where he was from?
No, I
I don't know. He was a local.
I'm assuming, I mean, with the accent.
What about the other
guy, the one Zoe was with?
I I don't know, okay? Ask Zoe.
He was he was like a
surfer-looking guy, Australian.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
Olivia.
Did something really bad
happen happen to Leah?
Because you can tell me.
We don't know yet.
I wish that Mindy would have just let us
have a couple drinks during the trip.
- Why?
- Well, because Leah tried
to make up for it last night.
She got really drunk.
Was Nico drunk, too?
Not super drunk.
[SIGHS]
He was more feeding her drinks.
And he was stepping away
and checking his phone.
It it was shady, you know?
I was drunk, too, okay?
So I didn't really have my guard up.
- Okay.
- So why is everyone blaming me?
- Who's blaming you?
- Leah's mom.
Okay, hey, just calm down for a second.
She's worked up, she's upset,
she's not thinking straight.
Yeah, but I'm upset too.
And for Mindy to blame me?
I'm not.
Okay?
Hey, hey.
I'm not blaming you, and
I do this for a living.
Just take a breath.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Now, describe Nico.
The hottest guy at the party, basically.
More of a physical description?
Tan, fit, shaggy hair.
Height, weight, scars, tattoos,
facial hair, clothing description?
[SIGHS] I don't know.
I was more focused
on the guy I was with.
Olivia said he was shady.
You pick up on that?
Olivia is overprotective.
And a little jealous sometimes
if no one's flirting with her.
And the guy you were
with, tell me about him.
Dominic from Australia.
He smelled like suntan
oil and cigarettes.
We made out, but when Olivia
came back from the beach
freaking out, we left and
started searching for Leah.
Did you take any photos
or videos from the party?
Because I noticed you're
fairly active on social media.
Oh, my God.
I I might have a video of Nico.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON PHONE]
Yes. There. That's him.
I just want to understand
how you let this happen.
Craig, listen to me!
She is almost an adult!
- You have not been around.
- Do you know what this is, Mindy?
- Do you know what it is?
- What?
- It's parental neglect.
- What?
- "What?"
- What are you talking about?
Leah's dad, Mindy's ex, just arrived.
They lied to me, Craig.
Oh, so it's their fault?
While you were at the pool
throwing drinks back
with some local dude?
- No, I
- Yeah, Mindy.
- I heard about that.
- Guys. This isn't the time or the place.
Let's go for a walk.
Agent Wes Mitchell with the FBI.
Craig Cardwell.
I jumped on the first flight I could.
- Is there any news?
- I'm sorry, not yet.
Look, I don't know what
the hell happened here.
But you should know up front
my ex-wife Mindy's crazy.
Like, capable of anything crazy.
Is this a clinical diagnosis,
or is this more of an ex-husband take?
You seem like a trained investigator.
I'll let you determine
that. [PHONE RINGING]
I'm sorry. I got to take this.
Just sit tight, okay?
[TENSE MUSIC]
[PHONE CHIMES]
Hey. Anything?
Enhanced Nico's image from Zoe's video,
cross-referenced it with the
Portuguese National Identity Database
and their Criminal Offender Database.
Real name is Duarte de Sousa,
26, Portuguese national,
has priors for theft,
battery, disorderly conduct,
lives in town, and works
at the local marina.
[NOTIFICATION CHIMES]
[GROANS] Never date
someone you work with.
Oh, I take it a step further
and avoid dating altogether.
So I throw myself into my work.
Speaking of.
Duarte de Sousa? [SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
In English.
Okay.
You recognize this girl?
Yeah, that's, uh, Leah.
I met her at, uh, the beach party.
Any idea where she is?
She didn't show up to
her hotel last night
and you were the last
person she was seen with.
Did something happen?
You tell us.
[SCOFFS] I don't know.
Um, we were walking on the beach
and she kept trying to hook up with me,
so I asked her how old she was.
She said 17 and I said, no, thank you.
Then she got upset and I left.
Age of consent is 14 here in Portugal.
But I have a hunch that you know that.
Okay.
Fine, you don't believe me?
Go ask the guy who's working
at the pizzeria, Jordanos.
Right after I left Leah,
I crossed the street and I got a slice.
And after that, I went dancing
at the Club Club Inferno.
Go ahead, ask ask the bouncer.
[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
We pulled security footage
from the two locations.
Duarte's alibi checks out.
Zoe saw Duarte and
Leah leave the bonfire
just before 11:50 p.m.
At 11:57 p.m., Duarte
entered the pizzeria.
He finished eating at 12:14 a.m.
and went directly to Club Inferno.
Bouncer confirmed he never left
until 3:00 a.m. when they closed.
Can I get playback from
the pizzeria clip again?
Yeah.
Okay, and pause it right there.
How many cameras are in this place?
- Just that one.
- It's like he knew that.
And here he is, standing there
like he's in a cologne ad.
Nailing down his alibi.
There was a seven-minute window
where he was alone with Leah.
That's not a lot of time
to have done anything.
Unless he was working
with somebody else.
Guys.
They found Leah.
[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
Leah? I'm Agent Vo.
Agent Mitchell.
[SIGHS]
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah, I guess.
I am so sorry that
you went through this.
Can you tell us what happened?
Uh, I I was on the beach.
And a man came up to me with a gun.
He put a bag over my head,
zip-tied my hands, and
dragged me onto a boat.
What did he look like?
I don't know, I don't know.
He had a ski mask on.
[SIGHS] Can you describe the boat?
It wasn't that big.
And we we rocked around a lot.
I could hear the
like, the water right next to me.
[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]
You okay to keep going?
After, um
10, maybe maybe 15 minutes
we we got to a dock
and he put me in the trunk of a car.
He said he would kill
me if I tried to escape.
Did he speak English? Accent?
Accent. Yeah, he was Portuguese.
We drove for what felt
like an hour or so.
I'm not sure. I'd been drinking.
- Mm.
- And I heard a garage door,
um, and he took me up some stairs.
But at the top, there was this, um,
this beep, like when
you use a hotel key card.
And then he handcuffed me to a pole.
And there was a train
that was passing by.
I tried to keep count to see if it was
on some sort of schedule,
but I got so nervous that I lost track.
Anything else about
the room you were in?
When he let me have a bathroom break,
I would take my
blindfold off, and, um
and there was this wallpaper with
with cheetahs and red lights.
A huge Jacuzzi.
Oh, yeah, I, uh
I took off my my
wristband from the party
and I hid it in the toilet tank.
In case anyone ever needed it for
evidence.
Is the guy you were hanging out with?
Yeah, Nico.
His real name is Duarte de Sousa.
Was he involved?
No, no, he's he
ditched me on the beach.
How soon after he left
did the other man take you?
I I don't know, a minute maybe?
Leah, I have to ask, and if you
don't feel comfortable answering,
you can just tell me.
But your kidnapper, did
he touch you in any way?
No.
No, he never did anything like that.
How did you escape?
I didn't.
He let me go.
He heard my mom on the news
saying that she would
never stop looking for me.
Just let you walk out the door?
He put me back in the
trunk and we drove.
And he pulled over,
cut my ties, but left my hood on,
told me to count to 100,
then take my hood off.
He drove away.
That's what I did.
Your parents are here.
Oh, God.
Oh, my baby. [SOBBING] Oh!
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- No.
- I'm so sorry.
No, that doesn't matter.
Are you okay? Are you okay?
We're just glad you're safe now.
Can you give us a moment, please?
Hey, Leah.
You've been very brave.
Thank you for your help.
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
Who found her?
Adelina Silva, 55 years
old, no criminal record.
Saw Leah walking on the side
of the road two kilometers away.
She picked her up, called it in to us.
She's available for
re-contact if necessary.
Are we believing this?
♪
We'll keep you in the loop.
So there was no physical
or sexual assault,
no robbery, no ransom,
and the kidnapper went
through all of this,
but caved when he saw her mom on TV
say that she was coming for him?
For what it's worth, Leah
got into Amherst College
but had it rescinded when she
was caught lying on her essay.
Claims she did some volunteer
work that never happened
and that's why she's going
to the University of
Rhode Island instead.
We should make sure that we're devoting
our resources properly.
If this is made up,
that hurts a lot of
people, Leah included.
My sister was kidnapped
and she's still going to therapy.
I mean, you don't get to
just cry wolf on these things.
Okay, let's just all
take a step back here.
Leah's statement is a bit odd,
but everything she said
could be technically true.
We're in agreement, but
shouldn't we be damn sure?
We should.
We need to talk to her.
Well, she is still a
minor until tomorrow,
so we will need parental approval.
Let me get this straight.
- You guys came in to help.
- Ma'am.
No, no, no. Let me finish.
And this help is coming in the form
of accusing my daughter of lying?
We are looking for clarification.
- That is it.
- [SCOFFS]
Okay, the rest of the team,
they are still pursuing
the kidnapping
investigation as we speak.
Now, if this is a fabrication
and it catches fire,
it could follow Leah around
for the rest of her life.
We'd like to prevent
that from happening.
If she's telling the truth,
we're gonna scour the Earth
looking for whoever did this.
That's a promise.
No one's talking to Leah
until my attorney flies in.
I don't know why you're
being resistant to this.
Because she's been through too much.
No one is blaming you for
letting them go to the party.
[SCOFFS] You are, clearly.
Do you need both our
approval or just one of us?
Just one.
Then you have it.
Find an apartment yet?
Not yet.
I emailed you those listings.
I mean, apartments get snatched
up real quick in Budapest.
Yeah, I'm working on it.
Hey, Leah. How you holding up?
Um, better, thanks.
Did you catch him?
Not yet.
Have a seat?
So have you reviewed my
report of your statement?
I have, yeah.
Is there anything you
want to add or amend
now that you've had
time to think about it?
Yeah, just one thing. Um
I told you guys at the time
that it was cheetahs on
the bathroom wallpaper,
but I'm pretty certain
that it was tigers.
I don't know if that makes a difference.
Leah, I've investigated
quite a few of these cases.
And there's a percentage that
maybe isn't exactly what people claim.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC]
Do you think I'm making this up?
I am just double-checking.
That is part of my job.
Look, there are elements to this case
that aren't exactly consistent
with the vast majority of abductions.
[SIGHS]
Okay, fine.
Don't believe me. I
just want to go home.
Hey, Leah,
I'm the one that wanted
to clarify, not Agent Vo.
Okay? It was my idea.
So if you want to get pissed at
somebody, you get pissed at me.
I already told you everything
that happened to me.
- That's all I can do.
- Okay.
- Then that's all you need to say.
- Is it?
Because I said it before,
and yet, here you are.
♪
We had to ask.
You know, when I was 14,
we lived in this on-base
housing at Fort Bragg.
And there was this landscaping
guy who kept following me.
And would say a lot of
inappropriate comments.
And I felt unsafe,
so I go to my parents,
thinking they'd come to my defense.
And they said I was overreacting.
Said I was watching too many
R-rated movies lately. [SCOFFS]

[SIGHS]
Tank, come.
We found a location that
matches the description
of where Leah was being held.
It's a love motel.
Aren't all hotels love motels?
These are a little more specific.
Themed rooms are connected
to parking garages
so guests can enter and
exit without being seen.
Typically used by
people who want privacy
for, you know, spontaneous encounters.
There are three love motels
within two hours of the
location Leah was abducted.
Huh.
Overlay Portugal's train routes.
Mm-hmm.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
One's directly across the
street from an active track.
Uh, Tate?
Good boy.
112 sounds like your description.
Last guest checked out about noon.
How many times have you
rented the room since last night?
Three times. Look,
we only clean sheets and trash cans,
so be careful what you
touch, know what I mean?
- Thanks for the warning.
- All right.
- Any cameras?
- No.
This establishment is
designed for privacy.
Men don't want their wives to find out
they're hiding miúda

Another reason I'll never be married.

FBI!
Leah said she was
cuffed to a metal pole?
Yep.
Clear.
Leah's wristband.
Well, that's a big step
in the right direction.
I'll bag this and talk to the manager.
It's still not enough to
prove she was kidnapped.
She could have, you know,
planted the wristband
as part of the hoax.
Look, I I feel terrible
that we're having to question her story,
to question her character,
but, you know these
Hey. You don't have to explain.
It's part of the job.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Can you describe the
guest who rented the room?
Never saw him.
Well, somebody must have
seen him. How did he check in?
Key cards are picked up
and returned to a lockbox.
He paid online and he
used his credit card.
Well, then we're gonna
need his credit card info.
[KEYBOARD TAPPING]
The motel payment was
made with a prepaid Visa.
I called the credit card company,
traced the purchase
back to a gas station.
That customer purchased the Visa
with cash two days
prior to the kidnapping.
Ran his image through
those same databases
you used on de Sousa.
Luís Alves, 31, Portuguese national,
did a two-year stint for
armed robbery and arson.
Wait, I've seen him before.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Yes, when I was scrubbing
through security footage
from the resort.
We believe this man was
involved in the kidnapping.
You recognize him?
Mindy?
Hold on, I'm just
I'm trying to think.
Maybe this will help.
You had three, maybe
four mojitos with him.
By the pool.
Oh, my God, that's
that's right.
Why are you lying to us?
He approached me.
How was I supposed to
know that he was involved?
I was set up.
Why would somebody set you
up to kidnap your daughter
- just to let her go?
- I don't know.
That's your job to figure it out.
I swear to God, I don't
know what's going on.
You believe me now?
When we went to marriage
counseling last year,
the therapist determined
Mindy had an unhealthy
attachment to our kids.
So if you're telling me she staged this
to traumatize our daughter,
keep her close to home
- wouldn't surprise me in the least.
- [PHONE RINGS]
Mm. Just one sec.
Hey, anything?
Yeah, I found Alves's email

- Yeah.
So something you should know here.
Craig filed a police
report against Mindy
for parental negligence.
- Parental negligence?
- Yeah.
That quickly?
Leah's only a few
hours shy of turning 18.
Here's the real kicker:
Craig had his attorney
file for sole custody of
his sons just two hours ago.
Mason Cardwell, 13, Hunter Cardwell, 15,
currently staying with Mindy's parents.
Why suddenly go out
of your way to do this
when your daughter's been kidnapped?
Unless there's nothing sudden about it
and he had a plan all along.
I'm not sure if this means anything,
but Leah recently filed paperwork
to drop her dad's last
name when she turned 18.
Any mention as to why?
There was an incident at
the family's country club.
Craig was inebriated and
got physical with Mindy.

Leah's only a few hours shy of 18.
This isn't about Leah.
It's about Mindy facing

Or is it about you getting
custody of Hunter and Mason?
Is that your concern?
It is if I'm being misled.
- By me?
- Yeah, by you.
You threw Mindy under the bus.
You conveniently left
out your part in it.
Whatever my part is,
it's a direct result
of Mindy's craziness.
I didn't mislead you.

Okay, what's our theory now?
Craig hired Luís Alves
to buy Mindy drinks,
then when Alves left the resort,
he kidnapped Leah and de Sousa was hired
to get drunk and serve
her up on the beach?
I mean, all of this just
to make Mindy look negligent
so that he could claim
custody of his two sons?
Would Craig really put
Leah through all that?
- She wasn't physically hurt.
- Still.

Alves works maintenance

Craig works for an American

Craig visited the
refinery multiple times
during his business trips to Portugal.
Okay, but that's still not
enough to prove anything.
Alves is stonewalling us.
Do we loop in Mindy and
Leah, see if they can help us?
No. I don't care how

You met Craig Cardwell where you work.

Craig's got a problem

Before you head out,

Great.
Alves rolled.
He said that you paid him to
gently kidnap your daughter.
Why would I do that?
Because you were desperate to
save your sons from your crazy ex.
Am I right?
So you set her up.
It worked. You filed for sole custody.
Turns out getting
drunk with the kidnapper
isn't such a great look
for her in court now, is it?
That's completely insane.
Is it?
Craig, I'm a single dad.
I got two sons.
The thought of losing them to my ex,
I can't imagine
anything worse than that.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Leah was gonna drop your last name.
Your instincts as a dad
kicked in to save your boys

recently graduated

a private school in Rhode Island.
She was staying at Azure Sands Resort
with her mom and two
friends on a senior trip.
How long has she been missing now?
A little over ten hours.
Anything yet that looks like foul play?
All we know is that her
purse and mobile phone
were found on the beach and
there was alcohol involved.
A witness said she was getting trolleyed
at the beach party here last night,
which is when she was last seen.
This is our local contact.
Hi, Detective Letícia Santos.
We may have a person of interest.
Leah went swimming with
an unidentified adult male

And and Olivia said that she
found her purse on the beach.
And you haven't received

We found a location that
matches the description

It's a love motel.
Aren't all hotels love motels?
These are a little more specific.
Themed rooms are connected
to parking garages
so guests can enter and
exit without being seen.
Typically used by
people who want privacy
for, you know, spontaneous encounters.
There are three love motels

How many times have you

Three times. Look,

Yep.

Leah's wristband.

I'll bag this and talk to the manager.
It's still not enough to
prove she was kidnapped.
She could have, you know,

Never saw him.
Well, somebody must have

Key cards are picked up
and returned to a lockbox.
He paid online and he
used his credit card.
Well, then we're gonna
need his credit card info.

The motel payment was
made with a prepaid Visa.
I called the credit card company,
traced the purchase

That customer purchased the Visa
with cash two days

That's your job to figure it out.
I swear to God, I don't

When we went to marriage
counseling last year,
the therapist determined
Mindy had an unhealthy

[BOTH SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
She was a bit snippy.
My ex.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
So something you should know here.
Craig filed a police
report against Mindy
for parental negligence.
- Parental negligence?
- Yeah.
That quickly?
Leah's only a few
hours shy of turning 18.
Here's the real kicker:
Craig had his attorney
file for sole custody of
his sons just two hours ago.
Mason Cardwell, 13, Hunter Cardwell, 15,
currently staying with Mindy's parents.
Why suddenly go out
of your way to do this
when your daughter's been kidnapped?
Unless there's nothing sudden about it
and he had a plan all along.
I'm not sure if this means anything,
but Leah recently filed paperwork
to drop her dad's last
name when she turned 18.
Any mention as to why?
There was an incident at
the family's country club.
Craig was inebriated and
got physical with Mindy.
- Charges were dropped.
- Thanks, Amanda.

is the police report you
filed for parental negligence.
Leah's only a few hours shy of 18.
This isn't about Leah.
It's about Mindy facing

Or is it about you getting
custody of Hunter and Mason?
Is that your concern?
It is if I'm being misled.

- Yeah, by you.
You threw Mindy under the bus.
You conveniently left
out your part in it.

Okay, what's our theory now?
Craig hired Luís Alves
to buy Mindy drinks,
then when Alves left the resort,
he kidnapped Leah and de Sousa was hired
to get drunk and serve
her up on the beach?
I mean, all of this just
to make Mindy look negligent
so that he could claim
custody of his two sons?
Would Craig really put
Leah through all that?
- She wasn't physically hurt.
- Still.

Hey. What's the latest?
Just found a direct connection

Alves works maintenance
at that refinery, right?
Craig works for an American
oil and gas company,
Crestfield Energy.
Craig visited the
refinery multiple times
during his business trips to Portugal.
Okay, but that's still not
enough to prove anything.
Alves is stonewalling us.
Do we loop in Mindy and
Leah, see if they can help us?
No. I don't care how
much animosity there is.

people get loyal real quick.

Totally fair, but I'm gonna lay

You met Craig Cardwell where you work.

Craig's got a problem
he needed to solve,

her to a remote location,

gently kidnap your daughter.
Why would I do that?
Because you were desperate to
save your sons from your crazy ex.
Am I right?
So you set her up.
It worked. You filed for sole custody.
Turns out getting
drunk with the kidnapper
isn't such a great look
for her in court now, is it?

I got two sons.
