Holy Ghost

Hey, do you need some more coffee?

Yes, espresso.

Thank you.

Coffee?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Please pack one medium-sized cheesecake.

Which flavour?

It's winter mint.

Thank you.

Your cake is here.

It's from your favorite shop.

Winter mint flavor, just like you like.

Come have a look.

I would like to go home to my daddy.

This is home now.

No, this is not.

This is a cage.

Your daddy doesn't want you.

He doesn't love you anymore.

He loves me very much.

You're not letting me go.

If your father loved you, he'd have found you by now.

But he's not trying very hard to find you.

Do you know why he's not trying very hard?

Because he's glad that you're gone.

That's not true.

He loves me very much. You're not letting me go.

It is.

And you need to accept this

and appreciate what I'm doing for you.

Otherwise, you'll be gone from here soon, as well.

Do you want to take this cake

or should I toss it in the trash?

I drove 20 miles just to get you this cake.

If you do not eat it,

you will be receiving no more cakes from me.

I'll take that cake and thank you so much, Mr. William.

You should look away.

Come out.

Don't look over there.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is this you?!

Yes, daddy.

Baby...

Where have you been?

I was inside the cage.

Where?

Daddy, I'm hungry. Can I come inside?

Can I get something to eat?

Of course. Yeah.

Are you sure you don't want to change before you eat?

No, Dad. I'd like to eat first.

Yeah, this is Maddy.

Maddy.

Grace came home.

How? Who brought her?

She came by herself.

She rang the doorbell. I opened it.

There she was.

Okay…

That's really strange.

What is she doing now? Where is she?

She was hungry.

I made her some sandwiches.

She is eating it.

Okay, look. Edward, don't change her clothes,

don't bathe her or anything.

We'll need to get samples.

Also, probably need to get her to the doctor,

as soon as we can. Get her checked out.

- Make sure she's okay. - Yeah, sure.

And, Edward, bring her to the hospital

as soon as you can, okay.

I'll text you the location.

Hi, Grace.

Hi.

My name is Maddy.

- This is Dr. Rita Patel. - Hi.

She'd like to examine you.

But, I am not sick.

No. You're doing just fine.

But you've been away from your dad for a little bit.

He just wants to make sure you've been

eating and sleeping okay.

After that you can change your clothes and head home.

Okay?

Okay.

Right.

If you have any more details, that might be helpful.

How she showed up? Did someone drop her off?

Shouldn't you be looking for details?

That's fair.

Thank you.

- She seems fine. - Thank you.

I'll get the other reports back by tomorrow.

But it's all good.

I would let her rest today.

Try not to bother her with too many questions.

We'll handle that tomorrow when you come in.

Okay.

- Hi, Grace. - Hi.

I got this for you.

Thanks.

Do you like chocolates?

Yeah.

What else do you like?

Cakes.

I can have them order you some cakes if you want.

I don't want to eat cakes any more.

Why is that?

That man, inside the cage, offered me cake.

So you had to eat cake when you were inside the cage?

- Is that right? - No.

But you just said that the bad man offered you cake.

The cake fell.

The cop pushed the man from behind and it fell.

Wait… There was a cop there?

The cop that took me out of the cage and brought me home.

How did you know it was a cop?

Because he was dressed like one.

Like this?

Yeah, like this.

Grace, sweety,

I need you to help me understand.

You said there was a bad man who took you.

He put you in a cage,

but then he offered you cake.

Then a cop showed up,

pushed him down.

Took you out of the cage,

and then brought you home.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.

Did this cop

take you in his own car?

No, he took me home in a van.

It's a big ugly van.

Okay.

Grace, did the cop bring you home

in the same ugly van that the bad man took you in?

Yes.

Okay.

So the cop came and pushed the bad man down.

Took you out of the cage,

brought you home in an ugly van

and then left in the same ugly van

after he dropped you off?

Yes, but he didn't leave in the same van.

That van is still parked near my house.

The van is still near your house.

It's there.

We need to go to your house, and I mean now.

We need to find the van.

You look scared.

I look scared because I am scared.

We got the van at the house.

The van she was probably abducted in.

It's your lucky day.

What is there to be scared of?

Doesn't make any sense.

Feels like we're walking through a mine field

and any minute the ground's gonna explode.

Explode? Are you serious?

Bear, think about it.

When, in the history of any criminal abduction,

have you heard about,

or read or seen that a kid is abducted,

kept by their abductor in a cage for fifteen days

and then she just shows up back at home?

Not to mention, apparently some random cop rescued her

and brought her home

in the same van she was abducted in.

Seems like a fairy tale except

we don't have fairies in our line of work.

Eventually those fairies turn into monsters

and those monsters show up and they say hi.

That's what I am scared of.

Where is the van?

Edward, will you take her inside?

I'll call you if I need you.

Clear.

Hello.

Hey, Watts, can you run a plate for me?

It's GRG-2354.

Are you ready?

- Should I say it or should I text it? - You can just say it.

Clear.

Clear.

We got a body.

No pulse.

Hello.

Detective Maddy again.

We found the place where Grace was being held.

It's exactly like she described.

We also found a body.

It appears to be that of the kidnapper.

Seems like the cop may have killed him before he took Grace away from here.

I would keep her away from the news for next two weeks.
