Kevin?
Kevin?
Hey. Oh, hey, big girl.
Oh, God. Oh, thank God.
Shh, it's okay.
Okay, let's go see.
Hey. Hey.
Oh, my God. Hey.
- What's happening? - Nothing. It's okay.
Go back to sleep, sweetheart. It's okay.
Kevin?
Kev... Kevin?
Ah, fuck.
- She's still not answering. - Wait. Get in the truck.
Hi, this is Kevin Garvey. Leave a message.
Kevin, where are you? Your truck is here.
You need to call me.
Don't know where you are. You need to call me.
Are you okay?
Evie didn't come home last night.
She was out with her friends and they're gone, too.
Gone?
_
Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck!
No fucking cable.
Fuck.
_
Okay.
911, what's your emergency?
Did... did it happen again?
Ma'am, can you repeat...
I can't find my... My boyfriend isn't here.
Did it... did it happen?
Ma'am, if you've experienced the earthquake...
No, no, not the fucking earthquake.
Not the fucking earthquake. Did it ha... did...
Are the people gone?
Are they gone?
Looks like you have some explaining to do, sport.
Hey, have you seen my phone?
I had cigarettes in here.
Maybe you smoked them while you were out sleepwalking.
Where'd you go?
I woke up in a drained pond.
When I crawled out, there was a car parked up on top.
A white Mercedes. It was empty.
Then I saw another car coming.
It was John, the neighbor.
His son was with him.
I think my phone is probably up there.
They're gonna find it.
I think I should tell the cops.
Tell them what?
You're gonna say you don't remember anything before you woke up
in the exact spot where our neighbor's daughter and her two friends disappeared from?
Wait, Evie's missing?
This your truck parked out front?
Yeah.
Putting together a search and rescue out the woods.
Gonna need to rig some winches.
Think you can help us out?
Yeah, sure.
Just follow me over here.
- Yes, I'll unhook my trailer over here. - All right.
- Need help? - No.
Okay.
This area is restricted.
We need you to stay behind the line.
Come in. Go, go.
- Stay behind the tape, please. - Whoa, hold on.
Do not park your vehicle here.
There's a table up the road for volunteers.
Jesus.
You woke up down there?
Yeah.
I came up that embankment.
That's when I saw the car.
You should get down there.
If someone else finds your phone, you can say you just lost it today.
That's pretty fucking smart.
Thanks.
You might want to start at the car and work your way back down.
- Where are you going? - To find the girls.
Hey. Can I help you?
Oh, I'm part of the rescue. I brought the winch in.
- Wristband. - Sorry?
I need to scan your wristband.
Oh, yeah. Of course.
We had to close the park down.
Make sure everyone belongs here.
It says temporary, but we just bought a house, so...
They told us to keep wearing it.
You bought a house? Where?
Um...
Uh, Stanton.
You have an address?
It's 41, I think.
- You think? - Yeah.
Vega, that's my neighbor.
Oh, yeah, sure, John.
Want to give us a hand?
Yeah.
Take that.
_
Thanks for coming out.
We appreciate you helping us with this.
You see anything that don't belong, don't touch it.
Leave a ribbon, find one of us.
Let's go.
God be in my head and in my understanding.
God be in mine eyes and in my looking.
God be at mine end and at my departing.
We are the 9,261. We are spared.
We are the 9,261.
We are spared.
For that, we are grateful.
- Amen. - Amen.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Oh... shit.
Okay. Whoa.
Hi.
Hi.
I heard about your sister.
My dad and Nora went to go help, you know, look for her.
Thanks.
Why are you wet?
Do you know how to fix a sink?
That's it.
- I got it? - Yeah.
You got it.
Sorry I bothered you. Didn't know what else to do.
It's okay.
What?
Why aren't you with them looking for her?
I'm sorry. I'm an idiot.
You don't have to answer that.
My sister isn't here anymore.
Where is she?
When I talk about this to people like you,
they just look at me like I'm crazy.
People like me?
Who don't believe in God.
I think I just made your sister uncomfortable.
You don't make me feel uncomfortable.
I should get back.
Thanks for saving me.
Any time.
Get back!
I'm not telling you again.
Make room for these people, now.
- Come on! - Let's go, let 'em through. Let 'em through.
- Close it up. - Hey, step back!
- Nothing down there. - You sure?
- Certain. - Thank God.
- This is our neighbor Kevin. Sam and Loretta. - How are you?
- Sam. - Emily.
Their daughters were with Evie.
Oh, I'm sorry.
If there's anything we can do to help...
Hey, they're towing the car up to Austin.
Didn't find anything?
Nothing came up on the black light.
They did pull a palm print off the driver's side window.
What?
Yeah, the state guy said it was too big to be one of the girls'.
A palm print?
Stop that! No, stop!
God, these fucking animals.
Okay, we'll get 'em out of here.
No, let them.
It's just water.
Any luck?
No.
If the phone turns up,
I'll just say I dropped it today, you know, like you said.
So I should just keep looking?
That's probably a good idea.
Here.
- Are we okay? - Yeah, we're okay.
- Love you. - I love you, too, Kevin.
_
Thanks.
- Earthquake? - Yeah.
What can I do you for?
Can I get a fifth of Wild Turkey and a carton of Reds, please?
Shit, forgot my wallet.
Put it on my tab.
- You don't have to do that. - Eh, my pleasure.
Looks like you got a fun night planned.
But you really shouldn't smoke.
