All Her Fault – S01E01 – Episode 1 | Transcript

Hi, I’m Marissa.

I’m here to pick up my son, Milo.

I think you’ve got the wrong house.

There’s no Milo here.

Oh. Uh, I’m sorry.

Let me… let me just check.

This is… hang on.

“The address is 1800 Crescent Hollow Road.

“If I’m not home from work when you get there, my nanny will be there with the boys.”

This isn’t… this isn’t 1800?

It is, but there’s no Milo here.

It’s just me, all by my lonesome.

Who sent you the text?

Uh, a mom from the school, Jenny.

Milo’s on a playdate with her son, Jacob, and this… this is where I’m supposed to pick him up.

I’m not crazy, right?

That… that’s this address.

It is.

Should you give her a call?

Yeah, yeah.

We’re sorry.

You have reached a number…

It’s not working.

The number isn’t working.

Come on in.

We’ll figure it out together.

You have reached a number…

Thank you.

Or is no longer in service.

Why would her number not be working?

Well, could she have gotten a new one?

Yeah, maybe, but I just…

I can’t…

“The address is 1800 Crescent Hollow Road.

“If I’m not home from work when you get there, my nanny will be there with the boys. Jenny.”

How could she send me the wrong address?

I don’t know.

Have you been to her home before?

No, no.

No, this is Milo’s first playdate with Jacob.

He’s only five.

This is… he’s just started school.

But you know this Jenny?

Yeah.

Yeah, we met at the school social.

She was great.

She… autocorrect.

That’s why… that’s why the address is wrong.

That makes sense.

Drives us all nuts.

I just have to get the right address, and then I’ll get out of your house.

Uh, here, let me try… we have a nanny as well, and she might have another number for Jenny.

Is there any chance your nanny could have picked up your son?

No, she’s away for a few days, so it’s, uh…

She’s not answering.

Do you have the numbers for the other parents in the class?

Could you call one of them, and…

Yes! Yeah, yes.

Great idea. Uh…

Well done!

Marissa, how are you?

Hi. Sarah, hi. Do you have a number for Jenny Kaminski?

Milo is on a playdate with her son, Jacob, and somehow Jenny has sent me the wrong address, and the number I have for her isn’t working now, so I have no idea where to pick up Milo.

Yeah.

Sarah?

Sarah? Are you there, Sarah?

Have you got your dates mixed up?

No. No, it’s today.

I’m sure of it.

Milo can’t be on a playdate with Jacob, because Jacob is here with me right now.

Uh… uh… can you…

Hello.

My name is Esther, and I’m here with your friend.

Now, do you have the right number for this woman, Jenny?

Yeah, I mean, I can…

I can send through the parent contact list again.

I mean, Marissa should already have that, but…

Oh, please do, thank you.

We’ll give her a call.

But Jenny’s little boy is with you?

You sure about that?

Yeah, I’m the parent representative at the school, so I know all of the moms and all of the kids.

And I am definitely looking at Jenny’s boy Jacob right now.

OK, there, I just sent it through.

Um, you should…

Yeah, we got it.

OK.

Thank you, Sarah.

OK.

Would you like me to call Jenny for you?

Uh, yeah, thanks.

Yeah.

Hello?

Hello, Jenny. You don’t know me, but I’m here with your friend, Marissa.

Hi, this is Jenny. Yeah.

Is everything all right?

Well, Marissa thought her son was at your house today, but there seems to be some kind of confusion on that.

Oh, no, I’m working tonight.

Jacob’s at Sarah Larsen’s for a playdate.

So Milo isn’t with you? No, he isn’t.

OK, so…

No, you sent me a message!

Hi… hi, Marissa.

No, I’m so sorry, but I didn’t.

It’s on my phone.

I’m… I’m not crazy.

It’s on my phone.

You sent me a text.

I promise I didn’t. Is Milo OK?

I’m sure he’s fine.

We’ll figure it out.

Thank you, Jenny.

Who sent me that text?

Oh, he’s got a… he’s got a tracker.

He’s got a… he’s got a…

It’s offline. What?

Uh… uh…

You’ve reached Peter Irvine.

Please leave a message. Peter, can you call me back?

Right now, please.

Right… right now.

That’s your husband?

Could he have picked up your son, maybe forgetting to tell you?

No, he, uh… he doesn’t do that.

It’s… it’s our… it’s our nanny or it’s me.

He doesn’t ever pick up Milo from school.

Could your son still be at school?

No. No, it’s past 5:00.

School is closed.

So there’s no way he could still be there?

No, they would have called me.

If no one picked him up, they would have…

So someone has picked him up.

Who picked up my son from school?

Peter.

Hey. Is he that worked up about pizza tonight, or is he still convinced I’m gonna screw up his order?

Because, you know, I know I’m just a dumb dad and all, but I think I can remember cheese.

Peter, is he with you?

What? No.

No, he’s with you.

He’s not. He’s… he’s not.

He’s not. He’s not with me.

OK, what do you mean, he’s not with you?

Where is he?

Marissa? Marissa, hey. I don’t know where my son is.

Can you hear me? Marissa! I’m sure he’ll be there. Someone will have taken him to your home. Milo!

Milo!

Milo!

Milo!

Are you here?

Please say you’re hiding.

Milo!

Sweetheart, are you hiding?

Milo!

Milo!

Brian!

Brian!

Brian!

Open up!

Brian!

Where’s Milo? Is he here?

Is he with you?

Is everything OK?

Is he all right?

No, he isn’t… he’s not all right.

He’s not all right.

What happened?

What’s going on?

He’s not… he’s not… he’s not all right!

No, he’s not all right!

Is he here?

Peter!

No, he’s… no!

OK.

He’s…

OK. All right.

We’re gonna find him.

I promise, OK?

We’ll find him. OK. OK.

OK. OK.

We’ll find him. I promise.

Can you tell us the last time you saw your son?

Uh, yeah, it was this morning.

I dropped him at school before work.

I think we left about 7:45.

Did you walk him inside the building?

No, there’s a drop-off area in front of the school.

There you go, Milo bear.

Remember, pizza night tonight.

Hi, Milo. Ready for school?

Bye, Mommy.

OK, take my hand.

Bye, sweetheart.

What’s the name of the school?

Bishops Academy.

And your son’s teacher?

Uh…

Mr. Williams.

We don’t have his personal number.

They’re not given out.

And the school is closed right now, so I don’t know how to get ahold of him.

We’ll find Mr. Williams.

Now, you said your son had a tracker in his backpack.

Yeah.

It’s, uh… it’s… it’s offline now, though.

OK.

Can you describe your son?

He’s blond.

His hair is long.

His bangs… bangs are long.

He just likes it that way.

Uh-huh.

Does he have any other distinguishing features, aside from the long hair?

Uh, no.

No.

No.

And what was he wearing this morning?

An orange shirt and blue pants.

And his coat, which is mostly green, and it’s got a little… it’s got a little dinosaur here.

Is your son on any medication, or does he have any allergies or illnesses or anything like that?

No, no.

Allergies, I mean…

Oh, yeah, I’m severely allergic to soy, so we look out for Milo with that stuff, but he seems to be fine.

And who usually picks up your son from school?

Our nanny, Ana Garcia.

We’ve called her, but she’s not answering.

How did you meet Ms. Garcia?

Through a website, a nanny service.

All the moms use it.

Did she have references?

Yeah.

I mean, the nanny service vets all that, criminal checks, everything.

She’s fantastic with Milo.

I just… I wouldn’t leave my son with just anyone.

That’s work.

That’s… it’s nothing.

It’s… it’s nothing.

What is it that you do for a living, ma’am?

I’m in wealth management.

I have my own firm.

And Peter’s in… in commodities.

Commodities.

What else can you tell us about your nanny?

She’s from Chile.

She’s been here about a year.

She’s got a studio in Thornton with her boyfriend.

They’re driving down to Fort Wayne this weekend.

His cousin is getting married.

Found the teacher.

He’s not picking up his cell.

We’ll keep trying.

Now, your understanding was that Milo was supposed to be on a playdate today, is that correct?

Yeah.

And how was that playdate arranged?

Uh, I received a text from one of the moms, Jenny Kaminski.

She was wondering if Milo wanted to play with her son, Jacob, and, uh…

I didn’t have Ana to help, and I didn’t want to cancel a meeting at work.

And so I… yeah, it was perfect.

How well do you know Ms. Kaminski?

She’s one of the moms from school.

And I… you know, I’ve seen her around a lot, but I haven’t spoken to her until about a week and a half ago at the school social, and she was great.

She seemed… yeah, she was great.

Have you been to her home before?

No.

Have you and Ms. Kaminski corresponded through text before?

No.

Did you have a contact for Ms. Kaminski through, like, the school?

Yeah, there’s a parent contact list, and it gets sent out at the start of the year.

And the number from the text matched the number listed for Ms. Kaminski?

I didn’t check.

I thought you had all the parents’ numbers in your phone.

I hadn’t entered them all in yet, and I…

I just… I hadn’t gotten around to it.

It’s by my side of the bed, and…

I’m so tired when I get home, and…

Yeah, yeah, it’s OK. It’s OK.

She signed the text “Jenny,” so I just… I just assumed.

I assumed it was her.

I mean, why wouldn’t it be her?

Yeah, it makes sense.

It’s OK.

Ma’am, did you ever speak on the phone to Ms. Kaminski about this playdate?

No, it was all over text.

Mr. and Mrs. Irvine, do you have a recent picture of your son?

I told you about Marissa, remember?

She’s the one I met at the school social.

Oh, that’s right. She was great.

I really like her.

And God, she just sounded so upset.

It was awful.

She said I texted her about a playdate, but I didn’t.

She probably just read it wrong or something. I don’t think so.

It wasn’t just Marissa there.

There was another woman too.

It seemed like a stranger that was helping her or something.

I’m sure the kid is fine. He’s probably been found by now, with his grandma or something.

Jesus, I can’t imagine the worry.

I’m getting nauseous just thinking about it.

Do you know what makes me nauseous?

Vanilla-flavored vape smoke in the boys’ bathroom.

Are you still at school?

You haven’t left yet?

Well, I’m not late. It takes, like, two minutes to get there.

You always say that… that something takes, like, two minutes to do.

But what you mean is that it doesn’t take long.

Yeah, exactly.

But it doesn’t take two minutes to get to Sarah Larsen’s from school.

It takes, like, 15.

What does it matter?

It matters because play dates really help us out, and being on time for pickup is a big deal.

Honey, no one obsesses over the little details like you. I’m totally fine.

But the details matter. They went over all this at the start of the school year. And we all agreed… OK, OK. You’re right.

I’m sorry.

I’m heading there right now.

I love you.

Love you.

Thank you.

Ah.

Ah!

Hi, Jenny.

Hi, Sarah.

I’m stuck at work, but Richie’s on his way.

He’s just gonna be a couple minutes late.

Oh, uh, the boys are watching TV, which I wouldn’t usually put on during a playdate, but I really had to get my youngest one going in the bath.

I know. I’m really sorry. You know, and I still have a ton of work to do on the fundraiser.

Still looking for volunteers.

Um, well, he… he’s just a few minutes away.

Well, yeah, that’s good.

Boys had a really nice time.

Sarah… Sarah, real quick, by the way, I got the strangest phone call from Marissa Irvine today.

She thought that Milo was at my house.

Yeah, I know.

She called me too.

She wanted your number.

She said that you arranged a playdate?

Yeah, but I didn’t.

Do you know if everything’s OK?

Have they figured it out?

I don’t know, but she called again later. She wanted to know if I had seen Milo at pickup, so they don’t even know who he went home with.

God, she must be so worried.

I really hope it’s just a mix-up.

Yeah, me too. I mean, it does sound a bit, like, shady with the nanny, doesn’t it?

You know, like, child goes missing on the same day she leaves town?

I mean, I get it.

You know, if you’re gonna work, you’ll need help raising your kids, but… Yeah, well, if you hear anything, can you let me know?

I’m just worried for Marissa and for Milo.

Yeah, of course.

Hey, and you’ve probably thought about it already, but…

What? Well, if someone did take Milo Irvine, why would they pretend to be you?

OK, this is the itinerary for the school year.

Please take a copy and hand it ’round.

There you go.

Oh, here you are.

OK.

So welcome.

Welcome, first-time moms… and dads.

Your little ones are gonna have such a great year.

OK, let’s have a look through the calendar.

So all of the special events are marked with a star.

Most of them will require costumes or props for the kids.

But we’re letting you know in advance, so there should be plenty of time to prepare.

OK, so take a look.

Uh, Throwback Thursday?

Oh, can you introduce yourself?

We should really get to know one another.

Uh, yeah. Marissa Irvine.

Hi.

Hi.

Yeah, so Throwback Thursdays are new this year… super cute.

’80s theme.

It’s just, like, a bit of nostalgia.

For who?

Um, it’s…

I don’t quite know what you’re trying to say.

Uh, just that these kids were born in 2019.

Great.

Any other questions, or can we talk about play dates?

Are you all right?

My English is not so good.

The family, they know me already…

It’s for the school.

They have to cover their bases.

Should we do it together?

Really?

Yeah, if that’s OK.

OK, yeah, thanks.

Which one is yours?

Milo Irvine.

Oh, he’s a sweet one.

He is.

Rainbow bubble!

He’s perfect.

You and the nanny, Ana.

Did you have any kind of disagreement recently?

No.

No, I… we all get along.

She’s great with Milo. I…

How about your parents?

Do they live nearby?

Hi, you’ve reached Ana Garcia. Please leave a message. Damn it.

No.

My dad was never in the picture, and my mom…

What about your parents?

We don’t… we don’t really talk.

She… last I heard she was in Portugal, but that could have changed.

She wouldn’t have taken Milo.

It would have been too much effort.

I see.

And you live on the premises?

Uh…

He’s my brother.

Lives in the guesthouse.

You said you have a sister?

Does she stay here too?

No, she lives in the city.

She’s on her way now.

I feel like we’re just talking here.

What’s… what’s happening?

Detective Alcaras has been assigned to your son’s case.

He’s headed to the teacher’s address because Mr. Williams isn’t answering his cell phone.

That is the best next step we could be taking.

Just… I really need you to promise me you’re doing everything that you can to bring him home.

Please.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

I don’t even remember if I told him I love him this morning.

Who is texting you?

The clinic.

Mar.

Hi.

Hey. Oh, Mar.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey, man.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry, it’s my… sorry, it’s work.

This is Colin.

He’s my best friend and business partner.

We’ll need to get a statement.

Yeah, of course.

Uh, could you just… could you give us a moment?

Hey. Hey.

This is a huge mix-up, all right?

It’s just… just an innocent mix-up.

Colin, school has been out for hours.

Tell me the innocent mix-up that would take hours to resolve.

Oh, fuck.

It’s, uh… it’s… it’s work.

It’s… it’s the Phillips account, and I don’t… I don’t have the bandwidth to deal with it right now.

You know, I’ll…

I’ll handle the Phillips account.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thanks. One second.

Ana.

She not answering?

No, all afternoon.

Hey.

It’s Ana’s phone.

What?

What?

It’s Ana’s phone.

You’re gonna love Jenny.

She’s great.

She’s a real…

Hi.

Oh, here she is.

I am so sorry.

Whew!

My husband is in charge of our son tonight, so it’s just little fires.

OK.

But I’m here now!

So Alex, as… as I’m sure you can guess, I would love to talk to you about your client, Mr. Logan.

Whoa, he hates Mr. Logan.

Call him Lee.

OK. All right.

OK.

Well, then I would love to talk to you about Lee.

I know that he’s been with the same publisher for years now, but I would really like him to consider our imprint, because I think that his marketing strategy is in need of a complete revamp.

Mmhmm.

Right now, every penny of his advertising is going towards Facebook, which I totally get the thinking… his core audience is older women.

But my proposal here, which…

Thank you.

Brendan hugely helped with, I want Lee Logan’s stories to reach a younger audience.

They can resonate with anyone.

Um, sorry.

Very sorry.

It’s been a scary day today.

Not for me, but for another mom.

There’s a child that’s missing.

Oh, God, what happened?

Someone picked him up from school, and no one has seen them since.

But they have a really strict school policy that the kids can only go with parents or nannies, so it’s…

Yeah, it’s that way for us too.

Is it?

Yeah.

I mean, that’s what my wife said.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Actually, you know what, Jenny?

I can… I can take it…

OK.

It feels like you’re needed on the home front.

Yeah.

Yeah?

OK. Yeah.

I’ll be quick.

Hey.

Hi, hon. Sorry to bother you. He really wants you. You got a sec?

Yeah, OK. Uh-huh.

Mommy? Hi, baby.

Where are you? I want you for bedtime. Yeah.

Soon. I’ll be there to tuck you in.

Yep.

Talk to Ana.

Uh-huh. Thank you.

Hey, Ana would never hurt him.

She’s…

Do you have him? Where is he?

Where is he?

You tell us where he is.

What?

Where is he?

What?

Ana, you gotta tell us where he is.

What’s going on?

Ana!

I don’t have Milo.

I’m not working this week.

He’s not in here.

He’s not in here.

I’m not working this week!

What?

I told you, I don’t have Milo.

I left my phone.

I was coming to get it.

We leave tomorrow morning instead.

What… what happened to Milo?

We don’t know. We don’t…

Mr. and Mrs. Irvine?

Detective Alcaras has spoken with Milo’s teacher.

He says Milo was picked up by a woman named Carrie Finch.

Who is Carrie Finch?

I’m Carrie, by the way.

Ana. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

So who do you work for?

Jenny Kaminski.

What the…

Richie!

Richie!

Uh…

Richie!

Yeah, yeah, um…

What’s wrong?

I’m just being silly.

You OK?

OK.

What can you tell us about your nanny, Carrie Finch?

She’s 21.

She’s been with us about three months.

She’s quiet, shy, sweet.

Has she been acting out of the ordinary lately?

No.

She ever been violent, that you’re aware?

Of course not. I would never…

Mrs. Kaminski?

Oh, sorry, it’s nothing.

Nothing.

Ma’am, anything at all you could tell us might be more helpful than you realize.

It’s just when you said violent, it made me think of this time that I thought she was about to hit Jacob.

But it was a total misunderstanding.

I don’t even know why I’m saying it.

What?

No, no.

So she attempted to hit your son on at least one occasion?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

She was swatting a fly.

I saw her hand go back and I screamed and grabbed Jacob away from her, and then I saw the fly.

I was totally mortified.

I am 100% sure that she was swatting a fly.

Swatting a fly.

Mrs. Kaminski, Marissa Irvine received a text, supposedly from you, arranging a playdate for her son…

Yeah, but I never sent that text.

We understand that.

However, Carrie Finch then picked Milo Irvine up from Bishops Academy this afternoon, and no one has seen either of them since.

So you think Carrie sent the text, pretending to be me?

It appears so.

And now that phone is out of service.

So what, it was like a burner phone, or…

So this was all planned?

Where the fuck is the detective?

Has anyone ever not noticed your sister entering a room?

What took her so long to get here?

She texted me earlier and said the Skyway was backed up.

She told me she was coming from her apartment.

Thanks for coming.

Mmhmm.

Hey.

No.

You can’t cry.

Oh.

OK?

I can’t handle that.

I’m sorry. Sorry.

Yeah, well, you should be, ’cause this is about me.

Hey.

We’re gonna find him.

Yeah.

OK?

Mmhmm.

We are.

Mmhmm.

Hey, Col.

Hey, Lia.

Hi.

OK, you gotta move your shit, Brian.

OK.

So what exactly do we know?

Well, another nanny picked Milo up from school.

Her name is Carrie Finch.

Nobody’s seen him since.

Do we know this Carrie?

No.

She works for another mom named Jenny Kaminski.

Uh-huh.

And what do we know about Jenny?

I met her at the school social.

She seemed nice. Normal.

Yeah?

Well, I want to talk to her.

What?

Just don’t… just don’t start, please.

She has a lot to answer for.

Yes, she does, but not to you.

Fine, but somebody needs to probe.

I mean, there had to have been warning signs.

We don’t know that.

Well, normal, well-adjusted people don’t just kidnap children.

I mean, do we know if she even checked references?

Christ!

Just please, I’m asking you, once…

OK.

Hey, hey, she’s not wrong, OK?

Look, if this is even remotely true, then Jenny Kaminski is legally negligent.

This would ruin her life.

She’d be to blame.

It’s so important to set that example.

Boys need to see a father make dinner, do the dishes, the laundry.

We have to counter program our kids.

Victor’s a stay-at-home dad.

Oh, OK. So you don’t work?

No, I made a commitment to home life.

Isn’t that incredible?

I wish my husband was that modern.

What a lucky boy you have.

Oh, we have two, actually.

Not the same as one, trust me.

One is one.

Two is ten.

Now, you just have Jacob, right?

Right.

OK, so we need to talk fundraiser.

Oh.

Fundraiser?

For the school.

I head it up every year, but I couldn’t do it without volunteers.

OK.

Volunteering for what, exactly?

Booking venues, organizing food, music, stuff like that.

It’s kind of an unspoken thing, but parents with just one child help the most.

You know, so that it’s fair to the other parents.

So can I count you in?

Uh, what are the chances?

Oh, my God!

Wow, I…

It looks so much better on you.

No, it does not!

You look amazing.

We both look stunning.

But I… I haven’t worn this dress in forever.

That’s so weird.

Yeah, me neither, actually.

I feel like I’ve seen you around a bunch of times, but I’ve never actually…

I’m Marissa.

I’m Jenny.

Hi.

Your son is in Mr. Williams’ class too, right?

Yeah, Jacob. Yours is…

Milo.

OK.

Yeah.

So weird.

You OK?

Yeah?

You know what?

I didn’t actually come in here to pee.

I just had to escape from out there.

It’s just so intense.

It is.

If I brought back two glasses of wine, what would you think?

I’d love it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

OK.

OK.

Let’s do that.

OK.

Peter is the king of tickle time. You know, he gets down on the floor, and he makes forts out of pillows, and he’s great at that stuff.

But when it comes to everything else like pickups and drop-offs and doctor’s appointments, you know, lunches, snacks, clothes, activities, shoes, he just doesn’t see it.

It’s not on his radar.

Probably shouldn’t trash my husband in the women’s bathroom.

Classy, right?

Well, I call Richie a motherfucker to his face sometimes, so…

What?

And he… he doesn’t even know it.

How does he not know?

I… I tried to learn sign language before Jacob was born.

There was a mom in my prenatal class who was hearing impaired, and I just thought that I…

I don’t know.

Anyway, I didn’t make it very far, but I did master a few of the curse words.

So one day, Richie and I were fighting, and Jake was in the room, so I couldn’t say anything too awful.

Mm.

And so I made the sign for motherfucker.

Oh!

And he thought that I was saying I love you, like, to end the fight.

And I just… I never…

I never corrected him.

So I do it…

I do it now when… when he tells me that I’m amazing.

Oh, yeah.

I don’t know how you do it all.

You’re so amazing.

Right?

Yeah.

I’m tired of being amazing.

I don’t want to be amazing anymore.

But I am apparently volunteering for a fundraiser now, so…

No. No. Sarah Larsen got to you?

Yeah, I buckled.

Well, you’re not volunteering for the fundraiser.

Well, I already said yes.

Pretty sure a verbal contract isn’t considered binding.

Well, what am I supposed to do, then?

Well, first you need to pose for a selfie with me, because…

OK.

This has got to be documented.

Yeah, it does.

And then we will inform Sarah Larsen that you do not have time to volunteer for the fundraiser.

I can’t do that.

You won’t have to.

I’ll do all the talking.

I’ll be there.

On one condition… you don’t backpedal, because she will bring up the fucking fundraiser.

Oh, God!

Yeah, she will just let the silence hang in the air.

But no backpedaling, OK?

I promise.

All right.

Now, smile.

I can’t believe we’re in the same…

I know. It’s insane.

Can they do this?

Can they just search her room?

I don’t know.

I guess.

This is the only picture that I have of Carrie.

It’s not that great.

This is so surreal.

If she did this, then…

She did do it.

She picked him up from school.

Well, then it’s our fault.

We hired her.

We’re the reason she has access to the school.

If she wanted to kidnap someone, she would have found a way with or without us.

Still.

Do you think we should go see them?

What? No!

Jenny, you don’t want to signal that we’re responsible.

What if they think we’re negligent or something?

There’s a five-year-old kid missing, and you’re worried about distancing yourself from blame?

Listen to me.

This is the kind of thing that, in your mind, sounds like a great idea ’cause you’re a kind person.

That’s what I love about you.

We can’t just hide here with our own son safe and sound.

It doesn’t feel right.

But months down the road, you’ll regret this.

Whatever you do, don’t apologize for anything.

Mr. and Mrs. Irvine, I’m Detective Alcaras.

Detective Greco.

May we come in?

Yeah, of course.

99% of the time when a child goes missing, it’s a misunderstanding between parents, grandparents, nannies.

But Milo has been missing for nearly five hours now.

It’s not a misunderstanding.

In addition, we found your son’s tracker in the school’s parking lot.

It’s been destroyed.

OK.

Is this about a ransom?

We haven’t received any communication regarding a ransom.

I’m assuming none of you have either?

No.

Any missed calls from unknown numbers?

Or strange texts, emails, that kind of thing?

No.

Look, this has to be about money, right?

I mean, why else would… look, you two are well-off, sure.

But more than that, you’re both in finance, which means you both have access to capital far greater than your own.

People, a kidnapper, Carrie…

Uh-huh.

Would know that.

Ms. Garcia, you’re Milo’s nanny, right?

Yes, I look after Milo.

Have you ever spoken with Carrie Finch?

Um, no.

I… I’ve seen her, but we’ve never talked before.

I have a picture here of Carrie Finch.

I’d like you all to please have a look.

I… I don’t recognize her.

Sorry.

No, I’ve never seen her.

So she has my son?

So if this is a ransom, when do we hear?

It’s usually within the first 24 hours, but there’s no exact rules to these kind of things.

And if they don’t want anything… if, uh… if it’s not… it’s not about money…

No.

They don’t want anything, then, uh…

Please, please don’t.

I have to know.

Don’t. Please don’t ask.

It’s about a pedophile, or it’s human trafficking.

Hey.

Sorry.

Why didn’t you just check the number?

You just check it, OK?

It’s… he’s…

’cause he’s fucking out there.

He’s out there now.

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean that.

You’re a great mom.

You’re great, OK?

You’re amazing.

You are amazing.

Hey, listen to me. Listen to me.

I’m…

I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry.

This is Jenny Kaminski.

She’s my friend.

She brought a lawyer with her?

Yeah.

Hmm.

My money says she talks.

Milo’s kidnapping was an inside job.

She knows that we know that, and she’s gonna want to get ahead of it, clear her name.

Yeah, but if she starts talking, she has to keep talking, even if we don’t ask her about the kidnapping anymore.

You know, I honestly didn’t see this coming.

These nice people, killing each other.
