We're home. We brought
steak frites and chocolate tart.
I almost felt bad putting it
on Eddie's dime, until I didn't.
[BUCK] That's what
he gets for leaving us.
- Thought you made peace with it.
- Yeah, I did.
I'm taking over his lease, aren't I?
Yeah, and Freddy Fakeman
didn't let anybody
forget about it at dinner.
Hey, do me a favor, would you?
Grab a plate.
It is criminal to eat
steak frites from a to-go box.
Ooh. Uh, hey Maddie,
I'm eating your fries.
Easy, Mr. Megaphone, I got
a sleeping toddler in the house.
If she wakes up, it's your job
to put her back to bed.
Eh, I will take any quality time
with my niece I can get.
Where, uh, where is Maddie?
Probably in the shower.
I don't hear any water running.
Neither do I.
Maddie?
[CLEARS THROAT]
She's not here.
Jee-Yun's asleep. Maddie's not here.
Why would she leave her alone,
even for a minute?
This doesn't make any sense.
[LINE RINGING]
[PHONE VIBRATING]
♪
Okay, now I'm freaking out a little.
I-I found this on the sink.
[JEE-YUN] Daddy?
Where's Mommy?
[AMBER] Are you sure
are you sure there isn't another way?
She has a a daughter.
[COLD VOICE] I know that.
I was there, stupid.
[WEEPY] Yeah, but I think she's a
a really a really good person
and I think she just w-wanted
to help us.
[COLD VOICE] That was
her mistake. And yours!
[WEEPY] Thi This one
is not not like the others.
People will be looking for her.
We're-we're gonna get caught!
[COLD VOICE] Stop it! Stop it,
you sniveling little baby!
You think I like doing this?
I hate doing this.
Then why are you?
[COLD VOICE] To protect us. Protect you.
This is a private conversation.
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
[HEN] Look, just please
give me a call if she does.
Yes. Maddie Han.
H-A-N.
Uh, okay, copy.
Uh, no, no, that-that's
all I got. Thank you.
Nobody matching Maddie's description
at Presbyterian ER, either.
[BUCK] Dispatch said her car
hasn't been involved in any kind
of accident
anywhere across the city.
What about her phone?
No. There's nothing here.
[KNOCKING]
Uh, I got it.
Hey, thanks for coming.
- Where is he?
- Over there.
[SIGHS] Chim.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Any news?
- [BUCK] No. We've called
every hospital from here
to Orange County.
I think it's time
we call someone else, Chim.
I think you need to file
a missing persons report.
Yeah, I-I agree.
I don't know.
What are you waiting for?
[CHIMNEY] Listen, when we found out
that she was pregnant, we made a deal.
She said that she wouldn't leave
without telling me, and I told her
that I would not treat her
like she's broken.
[HEN] But Chim,
if she's really out there
having a mental health crisis,
we need to get her help.
God, she was doing so well.
She was doing well before, too.
Till she wasn't.
Chim, this is not your fault, okay?
- We're gonna find her.
- [HEN] All right, you two
start canvassing the neighborhood.
You don't know, she might just be
- out there walking.
- Right.
I'm gonna stay here with Jee-Yun
while Chim heads downtown.
- [BUCK] Yeah.
- Downtown? What
- Who are you calling?
- Athena.
Time to wake up.
Sit up.
Here.
Have some water.
You must be parched.
Chloroform will do that.
- Mm-mmm.
- It's not drugged.
If I wanted to dose you again
I would just use the rag.
Come on.
[MADDIE EXHALES]
See? Isn't that's better?
Okay, I know what you're thinking.
And no, it's not a dream.
You were the first to raise your hand.
Athena said that you volunteered
for this case.
Well, yeah. [LAUGHS]
I mean, I-I wanted to see
if I could ease your mind,
convince you that it was all a hoax.
And then you walked into my office
with all that evidence.
I knew you were going to be a problem.
It was you?
The whole time?
But-but your voice
There's an app for everything.
- Richard Bullock.
- We did a service
with that one.
I'd been after him for a long time,
so thank you for giving me
a reason to take out that trash.
But we are not here to talk about him.
We are here [CLICKS TONGUE]
to talk about you.
- What about me?
- Come on, Maddie.
You didn't go home last night
with the sneaking suspicion
that something wasn't
quite right in how it all ended?
"Did I really make that man
turn a gun of himself?
"And the voices?
Well, something just doesn't quite fit."
I was just sick about all of it.
No. When I was sitting
in my office with Athena,
I saw the little wheels
turning in your head.
It was only a matter of time
before you expressed
your concerns to someone.
Who did you tell Athena?
Did you call your husband?
You took me from my home.
I didn't get the chance
to talk to anyone.
I don't believe you.
- I'm not lying.
- Just like you said
you didn't lie about sending the police
when I called you for help?
You're supposed to save those girls.
I do save those girls!
Amber, you kill them.
[SCOFFS]
Ah [CHUCKLES]
Using my first name.
I really love the tactic.
What are you gonna do to me?
[PHONE VIBRATES]
[SIGHS]
Oop.
Athena Grant.
Looks like somebody
noticed that you went missing.
Probably wants me to help find you.
Amber. Please.
[SCREAMS]
[ATHENA] Last time you spoke
to Maddie, how did she sound?
- Was there any indication that
- No.
I thought that she sounded fine.
Maybe I was just too caught up
to even hear her.
[BOBBY] Hey. You
didn't do anything wrong.
We're gonna find her.
Sorry, took me a second.
Uh, is this Maddie's husband?
Yeah, hi. I'm Howard Han.
Uh, people call me Chimney.
Mm. And
Bobby Nash. Her husband, his captain.
[CHIMNEY] So, w-what more can we do?
My friends are out looking for
her, I checked all the hospitals.
First things first, why don't you finish
filling out that form
so I can get it into the system?
- Did you bring a picture?
- Uh, yes. Digital okay?
Absolutely. Just keep writing.
Okay.
Can I speak to you for a second?
- Of course.
- Okay.
[GRUNTING SOFTLY]
I have to ask. What do you think?
[ATHENA] About Maddie?
Last time I saw her was with you.
She didn't seem like a woman who would
suddenly pack up
and then just disappear.
Come on. Come on.
[AMBER] She was pretty upset.
And what about the husband?
Can you vouch for him?
Chimney? [SCOFFS]
He's true-blue.
He would never do anything
to hurt Maddie.
Plus, he was with people all day.
And you did not speak to her
after our meeting yesterday?
The last time I saw her was with you.
Okay.
[CRYING]
[CHIMNEY] There's
something I haven't told you two.
Something I probably
should've put on that form.
Maddie's pregnant.
Wow.
Okay.
[AMBER] All right. She's in the system.
APB's going out now.
What?
[BOBBY] You should probably tell her.
[CHIMNEY SIGHS]
Maddie's pregnant.
Just past her first trimester.
I'm guessing you didn't
put that on the form.
[CHIMNEY]
It might explain things, though.
After we had our first child,
Maddie suffered
from postpartum depression,
and it was it was pretty bad.
How bad?
She drove down to the beach
intending to drown herself.
I see.
[CHIMNEY]
But that was postpartum.
Uh, she's shown absolutely
no signs of depression
or anything out of the ordinary since.
Mr. Han, did-did your wife
say anything to you about the case
we've been working on together?
[CHIMNEY] Yeah.
I know that she was freaked out,
but she told me that you got the guy.
Did she say anything
about how we got him?
No.
He took his own life.
Maddie talked him into it.
What?
We have to take this into account.
She was under a-a very unique stress.
May I have a moment
to talk to Mr. Han alone?
Yeah.
- Chim, we'll meet you outside.
- All right. Thanks, guys.
God.
♪
Which beach?
I'm sorry?
You said that she drove herself
out to the beach
to drown herself last time.
Which one?
I want to send a cruiser
out there, just in case.
Uh, Zuma, I think.
S-Something about this isn't right.
I would say almost nothing
is right about it.
Not just about Maddie running away.
About it happening on the same day
that she helps to stop a kidnapper.
That's just too big a coincidence.
Has she been drinking, Mr. Han?
W-With a baby on the way? No.
No. Absolutely not.
Are you sure she wants this baby?
[EXHALES]
Yes. Yes.
[BOBBY] A man's dead.
He didn't kill himself
and then kidnap Maddie.
But what if he wasn't working alone?
You suspect he had an accomplice?
I didn't. Until now.
Don't say anything.
I don't want him to worry.
- Hey. All set?
- She gave me her card.
Told me to try her anytime,
day or night.
I get the feeling she thinks
Maddie will be missing for a while.
- Why don't we give you a ride home?
- I feel like I should
- be doing something more.
- No, you are doing
exactly what you're supposed to.
You have one place to be right now,
and that's with your daughter.
♪
[PANTING] Okay.
[EXHALES]
[ALARM BEEPS]
[FRONT DOOR OPENS]
[BASEMENT DOOR OPENS]
[SINGSONGY] Somebody's got
a bun in the oven.
♪
What are you doing?
[AMBER] Just getting a few things ready.
You know, I'm not some homeless runaway.
My husband's not gonna believe
that I just walked away.
But you have before, Maddie,
- haven't you?
- Did he tell you that?
Actually, you did.
When I called you
the first time for help.
That you thought you were
a danger to your daughter.
You told me something true
about yourself, and
I think that's why we felt
we could trust you.
But then it was just lies.
Your husband confirmed the details.
All the details.
About how you nearly
[IMITATES WHOOSH]
I think he's afraid
you might do it again.
I was suffering
from postpartum depression.
But I also hear that prenatal depression
can be really bad,
especially for someone
like you, with your history.
What is that?
Fentanyl.
It'll be painless.
Just like falling asleep.
Wait, Amber. Wait.
For what?
My daughter.
Please let me say goodbye.
You do realize where you are, right?
[CHUCKLES]
I mean, you don't, like,
get a phone call.
It's not a call.
A note.
Please.
I need to explain
some of this. I need to
I need to tell her that her mommy
did not walk away
because of her this time.
What, like a suicide note?
Yeah. [SNIFFLES]
Please.
That could be good
for both of us, actually.
I'll get you a pen and paper.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hey. Silver SUV.
Oh, uh, no, that-that's not her.
This is pointless.
She's not walking around.
She took her car.
Whatever's going on with her,
this is way worse
than last time.
Last time, she let me know
she was leaving.
She made sure Jee was safe.
She dropped her at the firehouse.
I-I don't know what's going on.
Everything felt like
it was finally getting back
to the way it should be.
Gerrard was out as captain
and-and Bobby was back in and
And then Tommy dumps me.
And now Maddie is-is missing
or she's run away,
lost her mind, whatever this is.
And-and you.
You're just moving back to Texas,
mm, like it's nothing,
it doesn't affect anybody else.
It does.
It's not nothing.
No, I-I know it's not nothing.
- I-I didn't mean
- Hey.
We've been up all night.
You don't have to say anything.
[SOFTLY] Yeah.
I got to get some gas.
And some coffee.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Yeah.
[KAREN] Hurry, hurry.
Time's almost up.
- [DENNY] Come on, come on.
- Game.
- Hey, Chim.
- Hey, everybody.
Hi, Daddy.
Can we play again?
[HEN] Hey, listen, why don't you kids,
uh, start a new round
and the adults will go talk?
- [MARA] All right.
- [JEE-YUN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
But, Jee,
we're gonna beat you this time.
- [DENNY] Yeah.
- No way.
Chim, uh, I hope you don't mind
I brought the kids.
Thank you for doing that for Jee.
And for me.
[KAREN] We're family.
[HEN] So
how did it go with the detective?
She was very kind.
Listened patiently
to everything I had to say.
Good.
And she weighed
all the available evidence,
including some things
I didn't even know
about Maddie's last call.
And?
And she came to
the informed conclusion that
Maddie ran away.
[ENGINE STOPS]
Rick, thanks for arranging this.
Hey, when Athena Grant calls,
I come running.
Oh, yeah, well, anybody else
know we doing this?
Just the M.E., but don't worry,
I'm keeping this between us.
I appreciate that,
because I am really going out
on a skinny branch here.
I have to admit, I was surprised
you wanted to review the autopsy.
The guy shot himself
on the air with 911.
Seemed pretty open-shut.
Yeah, maybe a little too open-shut.
I just want to make sure he's the one
who actually pulled the trigger.
[LUANN] Well, his finger
was definitely on the trigger.
He has gunshot residue
all over his right hand
- and temple.
- So he did shoot himself.
I didn't say that.
- Didn't you?
- I said his finger
was on the trigger,
but he had a healthy amount
of trichloromethane in his system.
- Chloroform.
- Well, we believe
that he used chloroform
to incapacitate his victims.
- Could that account for it?
- [LUANN] Not at these levels.
My guess is, he was
chloroformed repeatedly.
So he was drugged,
somebody put a gun in his hand
and then manipulated his trigger finger?
I don't put the puzzle
together, Sergeant.
I only provide the pieces.
So somebody kept him alive long enough
for him to be a fresh kill
- when we got there.
- And that somebody
is still out there.
- [KNOCKS ON DOOR]
- Hey, Jayna.
Sorry to wake you.
No, it-it's okay.
- This is Detective Romero.
- Hi.
Is it all right if we come in?
Of course.
- How are you feeling?
- Better.
The doctors said I might even
be able to get discharged soon,
if my mom can pick me up.
Is she coming down from Bakersfield?
Uh, she's trying to get a ride.
Jayna, we wanted to ask you a
few questions about your captivity.
I don't remember much.
Do you remember anything
about being abducted?
I remember being at the bus station.
I went into the bathroom.
And when I came out of the stall,
I guess he was waiting.
He came up behind me,
put a rag over my face.
It was wet,
smelled like chemicals.
Chloroform.
I don't remember a lot after that.
And he never
[WHISPERING] No.
He never touched me.
Jayna, when he took you,
do you remember seeing
anyone else with him?
You mean the woman?
Wait, you saw a woman?
I mean, no, not exactly, but
there was a woman.
At first, I thought she might be
another victim like me.
She was crying.
What makes you think
that she wasn't a victim?
Because they were, like
fighting.
Arguing.
And she sounded older.
[AMBER] Are you finished?
You really love her, don't you?
I do.
If my mother had loved me
half as much as you love her,
maybe we wouldn't be here right now.
All right. It's time.
[STAMMERS] Amber.
[AMBER] No more talking.
Please don't do this
to my daughter, okay?
I'm begging.
Amber.
Please. Amber?
[AMBER] Please don't make me do this.
[AMBER CRYING]
If you don't do it, I will.
[WHIMPERING]
Please don't take this personally.
[WHIMPERING]
John?
We talked on the phone, remember?
My real name isn't John.
Okay, what's your real name?
My name is Peter.
Hi, Peter. It's-it's nice
to meet you in person.
It's nice to meet you, too.
I'm really
I'm really sorry that I have to do this.
So don't.
No, she makes me do it because
she's a coward.
So, then you need to fight her.
I try.
Okay, I-I know that you do.
[AMBER GROANS]
But she always wins. She always wins.
- No, so don't let her, okay?
- Oh, God. [SCREAMS]
I that's why I'm here. I-I'm-I'm,
I'm here, and I'm glad to be here.
You're glad to be here?
Yeah. Yeah, so that I can help you,
'cause that's-that's why
you called me, right?
Yeah, but you didn't help me.
You wanted me to kill myself.
No, no, no, I know.
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
I didn't understand.
Okay? Now I understand, so
so can you just give me another chance?
Please, just give me one more chance.
[PANTING]
Well, I
if I thought you could.
So let me try.
Please.
We'll see.
[EXHALES]
[MADDIE] What?
What? [STAMMERS]
I'm still at this number.
I'll leave my phone on.
[ROMERO] Still nothing?
That's the third message
I've left for her.
Who do you call when
your missing persons detective
goes missing?
- You want to wait a little longer?
- No.
I don't think this can wait.
So, what's going on?
Why'd they bring me down here?
We have some questions for you, is all.
Did you find him? Richard?
Yeah. We found him.
A-And the girl,
the one you thought he took.
- Was she with him?
- She was with him.
Is she okay?
Yeah. She's alive.
Well, that's great.
Aren't you gonna ask
about your boyfriend?
Ex-boyfriend.
Ex-everything, as it happens.
- What does that mean?
- Richard's dead.
Wow. Okay.
[ATHENA] You don't seem
- too broken up about it.
- What do you want me to say?
- The guy was a creep.
- A creep that you were with
for how many years?
It was complicated?
[ROMERO] I'll bet.
How many of those girls did you
procure for him, Isabelle?
- What?
- Were you in on it
with him from the beginning?
Maybe he forced you to participate.
Maybe you hated it. Maybe you
didn't see any other way out.
Okay. Okay, wait a minute,
wait a minute.
Whatever Richard
was sleazing around doing,
I didn't know anything about it.
We know that Richard was working
with a female, Isabelle.
The last girl Jayna Whitlock
was abducted
from a ladies' room at Union Station.
Richard would have been
a little too conspicuous
to go in there, but not you.
That's crazy. I cooperated.
You wouldn't have found him
if I didn't tell you where he was.
Except that's not where we found him.
He wasn't at the trailer.
- Somebody warned him.
- Well, it wasn't me.
[ROMERO] No. You killed him.
- What?
- This is what Richard looked like
when we found him.
It looks like he killed himself.
Except he didn't. He was drugged.
Somebody else pulled the trigger.
Somebody who wanted it
to look like a suicide.
This was last night?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, that proves that it couldn't
have been me, because I was
at the Fairway Casino
playing blackjack all night.
And I'm probably on
about a hundred cameras.
You know, they have
a lot of cameras there.
People cheat.
Her alibi checks out.
That's her hitting blackjack
at 9:30 last night.
I spoke to the casino's
head of security.
She was there till 3:00 in the morning.
All right, let's kick her loose.
I really thought we were
onto something with that theory.
We still might be.
Maybe Isabelle Tanev
wasn't the only woman
in Richard Bullock's life.
[WOMAN OVER TV] Okay,
now we're gonna get in there,
we're gonna take
this fat calf off,
we're gonna get right into
those ribs that you just saw.
- We are going to
- Hello, Jayna.
Uh, hi.
Oh, uh, you don't remember me,
but I was there
the night that we found you.
My name's Amber Braeburn.
I'm the missing persons detective
who was in charge of finding you.
Thank you.
You all saved my life.
I've got good news.
I spoke to the doctors.
You're being discharged.
- But my mom's not here.
- That's okay.
I'll take you to her.
She can't wait to see you.
These are the weepy caller's
known victims.
Jayna Whitlock, whom you rescued,
Holly Martinez, whose body
was found in 2015 in Griffith Park,
and Angie Bixby, 2022 in Portland.
Hmm.
I'm guessing that Bullock
and his unknown companion
took more than three girls
over ten years.
[SIGHS] Agreed.
What? What are you thinking?
Well, I'm thinking
that if we can maybe identify
a few more potential victims,
that maybe a lead might shake out.
We need to go through the case logs,
we need to find any kidnappings
over the past 20 years of runaways,
age 14 to 20,
where the perpetrator used chloroform.
Bonus points if the suspect called 911.
[DISPATCHER OVER SCANNER]
David-11. Possible 211,
located at 2526
[HEN GRUNTS SOFTLY]
Another cup?
I don't think my kidneys
would survive it.
[SIGHS]
You guys should go home.
It's a school night.
They should be in their own beds
and I should go put Jee to sleep.
Thank you.
[WHISPERS] Thank you.
[SOFTLY] Off to sleep.
[CRYING SOFTLY]
[SIGHS]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hey. Did you forget something?
Uh, no, we were, we were loading them
in the car, and-and Mara
Mara, tell him what you told me.
[MARA] Jee said her mom
was talking to someone
who was crying last night
after she went to bed.
There was someone else in the house.
Holy smokes.
- You got something?
- 14-year-old female
taken outside of Union Station in 2000.
Found two weeks later
wandering the streets
with near-lethal amounts
of trichloromethane in her system
after she called 911.
So, she escaped?
Yeah, it looks like.
Maybe she can identify her attacker.
- Yep.
- All right, what's her name?
- It doesn't say.
- We need to speak with her right away.
It's been redacted, probably
'cause she was a minor.
Well, who was
the investigating detective?
Maybe we can contact him.
Uh, Detective Bruce Strazzio.
Died five years ago.
Damn it.
You said she called 911?
Yeah, but it doesn't
provide the transcript.
Maybe we can get that on our own.
[BUCK] We hit up
every desk agent at LAX,
Burbank, and Union Station.
No one's seen Maddie.
I already called her office line.
I need you to patch me
through to her cell.
Uh, what's going on?
He's trying to reach that
missing persons detective.
- Did something happen?
- Well, we think somebody
was in the house
when Maddie disappeared.
Jee-Yun said
that she heard someone crying.
- Someone not Maddie?
- Yeah.
[CHIMNEY] Have Detective
Braeburn call me as soon as possible.
My name is Howard Han.
It's about a case. She'll know.
They said her cell
went straight to voicemail.
It is getting late.
Well, this can't wait.
June 16, 2000?
Well, according to the log,
it would have come in
from downtown sometime around 7:30 p.m.
That's a deep pull.
Do you know who made it?
No. The whole reason we want to listen
is to figure out who the caller is.
Copy that.
Uh, no, nothing from 7:30 p.m.
Oh, call from Temple Street at 7:17.
[DISPATCHER OVER RECORDING]
911. What's your emergency?
[TEEN GIRL] Oh, God, please
come get me before he kills me.
[DISPATCHER]
It's okay, honey. I need to know
where you're calling from.
[TEEN GIRL]
I'm calling from a pay phone.
I-I hurt him really bad,
but I still think
he might be after me.
[DISPATCHER]
Who might be after you?
[TEEN GIRL] The man who took me.
He put a rag over my face
outside Union Station.
He kept me in his house.
I-I don't know how long
he drugged me for.
[DISPATCHER] Okay, I
need you to tell me your name.
[TEEN GIRL] My name's Amber.
Amber Braeburn. I
I ran away from home.
Detective Amber Braeburn was
a kidnapping victim herself?
And a runaway.
You think she was working with Bullock?
I think that Bullock was her patsy.
She handed him to us on
a silver platter from the start.
Josh, I need you to pull up her address.
I already did.
Chimney called me for her address
five minutes before you walked in.

Say hello to Maddie.
Amber, what are you doing?
Just what you asked me to do.
Giving you a chance.
Go ahead.
Talk me out of it.
I know who you are.

Maddie suffered
from postpartum depression,

The guy shot himself
on the air with 911.
Seemed pretty open-shut.
Yeah, maybe a little too open-shut.
I just want to make sure he's the one
who actually pulled the trigger.
[LUANN] Well, his finger
was definitely on the trigger.
He has gunshot residue
all over his right hand
- and temple.
- So he did shoot himself.
I didn't say that.
- Didn't you?
- I said his finger
was on the trigger,
but he had a healthy amount
of trichloromethane in his system.
- Chloroform.
- Well, we believe
that he used chloroform
to incapacitate his victims.
- Could that account for it?
- [LUANN] Not at these levels.
My guess is, he was
chloroformed repeatedly.
So he was drugged,
somebody put a gun in his hand
and then manipulated his trigger finger?
I don't put the puzzle
together, Sergeant.
I only provide the pieces.
So somebody kept him alive long enough

Richard would have been
a little too conspicuous
to go in there, but not you.
That's crazy. I cooperated.
You wouldn't have found him

Except that's not where we found him.
He wasn't at the trailer.

[ROMERO] No. You killed him.
- What?
- This is what Richard looked like
when we found him.
It looks like he killed himself.
Except he didn't. He was drugged.
Somebody else pulled the trigger.
Somebody who wanted it
to look like a suicide.
This was last night?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, that proves that it couldn't
have been me, because I was
at the Fairway Casino
playing blackjack all night.
And I'm probably on
about a hundred cameras.
You know, they have
a lot of cameras there.
People cheat.
Her alibi checks out.
That's her hitting blackjack
at 9:30 last night.
I spoke to the casino's
head of security.
She was there till 3:00 in the morning.
All right, let's kick her loose.
I really thought we were
onto something with that theory.
We still might be.
Maybe Isabelle Tanev
wasn't the only woman
in Richard Bullock's life.
[WOMAN OVER TV] Okay,
now we're gonna get in there,
we're gonna take
this fat calf off,
we're gonna get right into
those ribs that you just saw.
- We are going to
- Hello, Jayna.
Uh, hi.
Oh, uh, you don't remember me,
but I was there
the night that we found you.
My name's Amber Braeburn.
I'm the missing persons detective
who was in charge of finding you.
Thank you.
You all saved my life.
I've got good news.
I spoke to the doctors.
You're being discharged.
- But my mom's not here.
- That's okay.
I'll take you to her.
She can't wait to see you.
These are the weepy caller's
known victims.
Jayna Whitlock, whom you rescued,
Holly Martinez, whose body
was found in 2015 in Griffith Park,
and Angie Bixby, 2022 in Portland.
Hmm.
I'm guessing that Bullock
and his unknown companion
took more than three girls
over ten years.
[SIGHS] Agreed.
What? What are you thinking?
Well, I'm thinking
that if we can maybe identify
a few more potential victims,
that maybe a lead might shake out.
We need to go through the case logs,
we need to find any kidnappings
over the past 20 years of runaways,
age 14 to 20,
where the perpetrator used chloroform.
Bonus points if the suspect called 911.

Hey. Did you forget something?

Mara, tell him what you told me.
[MARA] Jee said her mom
was talking to someone
who was crying last night
after she went to bed.
There was someone else in the house.
Holy smokes.
- You got something?
- 14-year-old female
taken outside of Union Station in 2000.
Found two weeks later
wandering the streets
with near-lethal amounts
of trichloromethane in her system
after she called 911.
So, she escaped?
Yeah, it looks like.
Maybe she can identify her attacker.
- Yep.
- All right, what's her name?
- It doesn't say.
- We need to speak with her right away.
It's been redacted, probably
'cause she was a minor.
Well, who was
the investigating detective?
Maybe we can contact him.
Uh, Detective Bruce Strazzio.
Died five years ago.
Damn it.
You said she called 911?
Yeah, but it doesn't
provide the transcript.
Maybe we can get that on our own.
[BUCK] We hit up
every desk agent at LAX,
Burbank, and Union Station.
No one's seen Maddie.
I already called her office line.
I need you to patch me
through to her cell.
Uh, what's going on?
He's trying to reach that
missing persons detective.
- Did something happen?
- Well, we think somebody
was in the house
when Maddie disappeared.
Jee-Yun said
that she heard someone crying.
- Someone not Maddie?
- Yeah.
[CHIMNEY] Have Detective
Braeburn call me as soon as possible.
My name is Howard Han.
It's about a case. She'll know.
They said her cell
went straight to voicemail.
It is getting late.
Well, this can't wait.
June 16, 2000?
Well, according to the log,
it would have come in
from downtown sometime around 7:30 p.m.
That's a deep pull.
Do you know who made it?
No. The whole reason we want to listen
is to figure out who the caller is.
Copy that.
Uh, no, nothing from 7:30 p.m.
Oh, call from Temple Street at 7:17.

where you're calling from.
[TEEN GIRL]
I'm calling from a pay phone.
I-I hurt him really bad,
but I still think
he might be after me.
[DISPATCHER]
Who might be after you?
[TEEN GIRL] The man who took me.
He put a rag over my face
outside Union Station.
He kept me in his house.
I-I don't know how long
he drugged me for.
[DISPATCHER] Okay, I
need you to tell me your name.
[TEEN GIRL] My name's Amber.
Amber Braeburn. I
I ran away from home.
Detective Amber Braeburn was
a kidnapping victim herself?
And a runaway.
You think she was working with Bullock?
I think that Bullock was her patsy.
She handed him to us on
a silver platter from the start.
Josh, I need you to pull up her address.
I already did.
Chimney called me for her address
five minutes before you walked in.
