Sinister Switch

Come on.

Come on...

You can do this...

Hey! No! Where are you going?

You can't go! Pleaseপ্লিজ

I'm sorry.

Hey, get away from the window.

I do. I think it could be that big.

The manuscript will need a heavy polish,

And we'll get legal to do some fact-checking,

But the content, it's incredible.

A true story from both the mother and daughter's perspective...

With good word of mouth, tএটা একটাd be a blockbuster.

Every mom on the beach will be sunburnt

Because she couldn't put it down.

I'm glad you said that because I'm just about to walk into

A production meeting on the cover art.

We'll talk soon.

Maurice wanted something a bit more traditional for the jacket,

Like heidi's confessions.

But...

I talked him off that ledge.

Yeah, I think this one is on-point.

The material is so zeitgeisty.

Mother saves her daughter from being a web cam girl

For human traffickers.

It's unreal.

Yeah.

This can work.

Great, that's what I thought too.

I...

Just got off the phone with page forward international publishing.

They're including it in their summer book club.

আর it looks like we're gonna have our pick

For which morning show gets an exclusive segment

With mother and daughter.

It'll be a big deal.

As long as...

What.

I just... I can't stop thinking

About those last few chapters.

They're good, right?

Yeah. Too good, maybe.

We have to cover ourselves.

The mother's entire rescue story hinges on

Some pretty big coincidences. Especially towards the end.

But coincidences happen though, right?

And she has her daughter back, so we know it's a happy ending.

Not with stories like this.

If it seems to good to be true...

I'll make some calls.

Olivia?

Olivia?

That's why I'm asking.

Don't worry about telling me what I want to hear,

Just lay it out for me. The truth is far more important.

Oh, I'm sorry...

No, I'm... I'm glad you reached out.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of parents will still find it inspiring.

Let me think about it.

I'm sorry...

Thanks.

So it was all a lie?

No, but she didn't even get there

Until the day after the police found the warehouse.

Then how can we believe any of it?

Listen, this is on me.

I got caught up in her story, too.

And believe me, I should know better.

Maybe we can re-work those last chapters.

But the last chapters are the book.

Yeah. You're right.

I've got a few things for the fall I could try to bump up.

Into the current. It's a debut novel,

Sort of flowery, but lots of sex...

Described by someone who has definitely never had it.

Let me figure something out.

You okay?

Yeah.

It's all part of the job, anne. Honestly.

It makes me so mad she would do this to us.

It's not about us.

They went through something horrible.

She's just trying to take back some control over what happened.

I never thought of it that way.

It's not easy living with the idea that you've failed your daughter.

Kristen cosentino.

Mmm hm.

Oh my god...

kristen...?

Where did you find her?

Someone picked her up off highway 7

And brought her to the station.

She escaped but can't tell us where the house is located.

Apparently it was the second ride she hitched,

So the search grid right now is pretty wide.

Where is she? Justin, where is she?

She's with a social worker. We just have to wait.

I can't wait! My god! I...

- Justin, I don't understand... - I know. I know.

Hi. I'm detective simmons.

Are you mrs. Holtom?

We're seperated. Can we see her?

- I have to see her. - Soon, I promise.

- Come in my office. - Okay.

Did you conduct a physical?

We did.

And?

Just a few cuts and bruises from walking through the woods.

Umm... When can we take her home?

Soon.

After the psych eval and the social worker wraps up.

We think the other four girls who were kidnapped

During that period are at the same location.

Most of the details she's given so far are pretty vague.

More might come back to her after the shock wears off.

In the meantime, maybe you can help.

Memory exercises often do work best in a safe home environment.

We know these things take time,

but in this case, we do need to push a little bit harder.

Six years.

She won't be the same daughter we lost.

Hey, hey. Don't... Don't think about that.

We have her back. Let's...

Let's focus on that.

I can't bear to think what she's been through.

Your parents are just down here.

Olivia?

Do you want something to eat? You must be hungry.

I have some pasta I could heat up.

Or soup? I could heat that up,

But you want something fresh, I'm sure.

I'm sorry. I'm just...

Whatever you need, we're here for you, alright?

Yes, whatever you need.

If you want to just wander around...

A little has changed,

But your room is still there.

I mean of course... But we could bring your stuff up.

I'm really sorry, it just got...

So, uঅ্যাঁ...

We can talk about that another time.

You look so grown up.

Can I get you something to drink maybe?

Lemonade?

Okay.

Lemonade it is.

What is wrong with me?

হেই, it's fine. It's a lot to handle.

How are you so calm right now?

I'm in stressful situations for a living.

This is different.

It is. And I'm feeling a lot.

But... Hey.

We need to be even keel for her sake.

She's not the little girl we knew.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means she's been through a lot. Okay?

I should heat up the pasta in case she changes her mind.

Hey, it's fine. Seriously.

Hey, I've got your drink.

I've got an extra toothbrush you can use,

And some p.J.'s.

I know you probably don't want to wear your mom's p.J.'s but...

Olivia?

Olivia?

- Olivia? - Olivia?

Olivia?!

হেই

She's in the spare.

Walked right by her.

Maybe she forgot which room was hers.

This the '09 from sicily?

It is.

She's so quiet.

Yeah, I know.

I remember her coming home from school

Bursting with jokes and stories.

She's been through a lot.

Do you think she's upset that I moved all her stuff to the basement?

Nah, I don't think so.

I mean...

I think she'll come to understand.

You can blame me.

I did push to do it.

I just...

I just didn't know how else to get past the pain.

Sorry.

It doesn't quite feel real, does it?

Yeah. I've spent so much time

Reconciling with the fact that I would never see her again.

I'm sorry that I...

Sorry I pushed so hard for you to do the same.

- It's hard for both of us. - Yeah.

I just...

I didn't want to see you suffer.

I know.

I can't even enjoy this right now.

Okay good, it's not just me.

I should at least try to sleep.
