Tracker

Yeah, I got it, Mom.

Your sugar-free jam.

I know what it looks like.

No, that wasn't on the list.

I'm already checked out. I'm not going back in.

What the--

Stop.

How did you find Silva's name?

It never came up in all the years I've been looking.

Silva's name popped on a sealed juvenile crime database,

something you don't have access to.

Hmm.

I called in a favor and had them search it.

Look, there's the case file here.

I got a couple questions.

So...

I wasn't there.

I want to hear you tell it to me

the way you remember it a decade ago.

October 15th, 2014.

Gina Picket, age 19,

she's working at Hot Topic at the Welltown Mall.

Shift ended at 6:00 p.m.

She leaves the building at 6:10 p.m.

Now mall surveillance

sees her in the mall parking lot, headed to her car,

except she never made it there.

She disappeared into a blind spot,

never to be seen again.

The next day, the car was found

when her sister goes looking for her.

The police were called to the scene.

And nobody around Gina

or following her in the surveillance video?

Nope. I went through hours of footage

from those mall cameras, all of them,

and I got nothing. Nothing.

But her manager told the cops

that Gina mentioned seeing a guy hanging around

outside the store a week before she disappeared.

Yes, and the police pulled that store footage.

They ID'd the guy as Frank Whales.

Now, Frank had a prior in Kentucky

for sexually assaulting his teenage neighbor.

The police looked into Whales, checked his whereabouts,

he wasn't at the mall the day Gina vanished.

I'm not buying that. There's no coincidence.

He was there every day

except that one and then not after.

Oh, I'm with you. He's definitely involved.

Next question.

That store is right next to the loading dock.

She clocked out at 6:00.

Why'd it take her 10 minutes to make it to the parking lot?

I don't know. I had the same question.

I asked the store manager and she said sometimes

the employees would go back to the stock room,

grab their personal stuff, I thought she got delayed,

got hung up there. I don't know.

Hmm.

My high school job at Sam's Feed and Supply.

The minute my shift ended, I was out of there like a bat out of hell.

-Yeah. -

It's Camille. I'm gonna take this.

-Give me a minute? -Mmm-hmm.

-Camille. - I got your message.

What's going on?

I think I got something.

-About Gina? - Maybe.

-How? -Doesn't matter.

Come on, Colter. Don't give me that.

All I need to know is did Gina ever mention

the name Alex Silva?

-No. - Are you sure?

He was buddies with Frank Whales,

he knew about Gina.

-What do you mean? -Well, I don't know yet, but he knew things.

Colter, I can't.

I just can't do this anymore.

Did you not hear anything I said before?

I did. I did.

It's gonna be another dead end.

What if it's not a dead end?

Until you find something solid about Gina,

some real evidence,

I don't want to hear about it.

Okay.

How did that go?

-Did she know anything about Silva? -No. No.

This is bothering me.

Silva said that Frank Whales lured her in.

So what if...

What if Gina wasn't taken from the mall parking lot?

What if she went somewhere willingly?

She was kidnapped from there.

That would explain the delay in her leaving.

Maybe she needed time to get dolled up,

heading out to go somewhere and meet someone.

But... "He lured her in."

What did he use for bait?

I think it's time to go pay Frank Whales another visit.

-Frank... -

You and I need to talk.

Don't worry about your dog. The dog will wake up in a couple of hours.

Who's that?

Don't worry about him. Tell me about Alex Silva.

I don't know what you're talking about.

He says you lured Gina away from the mall.

-No, I didn't. -Boy, you are gonna tell us about the Teacher.

That's right. We know you were working with him.

Hello, Brandon.

How do you know my name?

I know everything about you.

Do you know you're very special?

I think you and I,

we are gonna be very good friends.

You already searched my house.

You know there's nothing to find.

Unless you kept it on your person.

Sparkly hairpin?

You wear a lot of those, Frank?

It belonged to Gina.

She was wearing it when she left the mall.

Why do you have it?

It's a trophy.

Sick freaks like him always keep trophies.

It's not a trophy.

-It's a reminder. - Of what?

All the depraved stuff you did to that girl?

No, of something I regret.

This links you to Gina the day she disappeared.

Now, we can walk this straight to the police station

or you can start talking.

There's two ways out of this, Frank.

Bullet or the truth, hmm?

Okay. I was with Gina,

but I wasn't the one who hurt her.

Keep talking.

It was this older guy.

I met him 11 years ago

when he snatched me up from a rest stop bathroom.

Silva told us about a...

A guy named the Teacher.

Yeah, that's all I knew.

You expect us to believe you didn't know the name of your partner?

He wasn't my partner.

I wasn't working with him. I was working for him.

Finding girls.

You're gonna start by telling us what happened to Gina.

The first time I saw Gina,

I knew right away she was his type.

I showed him a picture of her.

He was pleased.

He had me follow her,

learn what she liked, where she lived.

I did.

Then he told me

it was time for me to prove my loyalty.

I parked in a blind spot near the loading dock that day

so the security cameras

-didn't catch me. -Hey.

-How are you? -Good.

There's no way she would have gotten into your car willingly.

She told the store manager you were weird.

Like I said, he had me look into what she liked.

I told her I was working for a local band she loved.

Said they were planning a secret show.

Where was it again?

A small venue out in the country,

Hardcore fans only to try new material.

Okay.

It worked.

She believed me.

-Seat belt. -Yeah.

Silva told us this place called the Farm.

Is that where you took her?

Yeah.

She took her coat off.

She wanted to get noticed by the band

and asked me...

Do I look okay?

-Yeah. You look good. -Yeah?

Okay.

She asked...

Are you coming?

I told her we were the first to arrive,

and I had to stay out here and wait on the other guests.

-Okay, I'll see you later. -See you in there.

I thought about telling her

she dropped her hairpin.

Maybe if she'd gotten back in the car,

I would have just driven her away.

But I didn't.

I don't know what happened to her after that.

Yeah, you do.

No, I don't.

You sent her in there alone.

Into the arms of a monster, Frank.

I didn't have a choice. He made me do it.

You have a gun to your head?
