[whimpers]

[cries]

[squelching]

And, bam, just like that,

Beverly Stevens was the

first victim of a serial k*ller

who would go on to

m*rder six other women.

Friends later recalled

that Beverly suspected

her new boyfriend was

dangerous, and sources say

he had the classic five traits

of a serial k*ller.

Say them with me now.

He was charming, manipulative,

narcissistic, controlling,

and had a complete

lack of empathy.

I can't help but think

that if she had used

anlf I Go Missingjournal

like this one...

you can store all of

your personal information,

pass codes for social media,

personal notes,

suspects, hair, blood, DNA

samples, fingerprints.

Beverly Stevens may not

only have saved her own life,

but the lives of six

other women as well.

[instrumental music]

"You suck."

Nice. Very clever.

[knocking on door]

Um...

I'm @SloanetheSleuth.

And remember, fear is a tool

that can save your life.

Mom...

no, you can't just

barge in when I'm live.

I didn't. I knocked.

And I asked you

to come downstairs

ten minutes ago.

So stop playing around.

I am not playing around.

- I am working.

- Okay. You live under my roof.

- You live by my rules.

- Autonomy and privacy.

Do not take that tone with me.

- I'll be right down.

- [Jessica] Oh, look at that.

There's my daughter.

[Sloane] I can't believe

it's been two years.

I'll never stop searching.

I miss you, Katie.

- You want some eggs?

- Uh, yes, please.

- Uh, three. Thank you.

- Okay.

- Good morning, sweetheart.

- Hey.

- Coffee?

- Oh, yeah.

You read my mind. Thanks.

Working on your FlickMo

this morning.

[Sloane] Yes. Okay.

So this woman, Beverly Stevens,

she was dating a guy

who ended up slicing

her open from navels...

Sloane, Sloane, Sloane, Sloane.

What? She was

practically our age.

It could happen

to any of us, really.

Okay, sweetie, tell

your aunt and your cousin

the good news.

Oh, what's that?

Uh, my sociology professor

agreed to write

the recommendation

for my graduate study program.

Oh, congratulation!

Well, all that hard work

is paying off.

So are you gonna

go and celebrate?

There's that new bar

on Robin Street.

- I hear it's the new hotspot.

- Well, I don't know about that.

- Robin Street gets rowdy.

- Don't worry about it.

Aunt Abby, Camila's textbooks

will protect her.

Oh, guys, I'm right here.

Well, maybe you could go out

with Sloane and her friends.

[scoffs] What friends?

Most of your friends are

graduating from college

- [Abby] this year, right?

- Uh, yeah. I don't know.

I kind of lost touch

when I dropped out.

Well, you know, a lot of

students take a gap year

just to get more

life experience.

Yeah, and two gap years

right in a row

- will give you plenty of that...

- Mom.

I'm just saying.

[sighs] Anyways, I watched

your FlickMo this morning.

Okay. No more talk

about m*rder*d women.

- I thought it was well-informed.

- Thank you, Camila.

Um, well, my goal is

to bring awareness

[Sloane] to the fact that

while women go missing

and get m*rder*d all the time,

we can do

something to prevent it.

Oh, what's that?

I call it the

If I Go Missingjournal.

[Sloane] Uh, there are journals

that you fill out

that make it

super easy to collect

and store key information

like fingerprints, DNA samples,

like your hair, your blood...

- Your blood?

- Yeah. Yeah.

So that police and loved ones

have the tools they need

to-to find you.

What are all these

blank pages for?

To profile suspects. People

you think could be dangerous.

This is morbid, Sloane.

Well, it saves lives.

[Sloane] I'm going to make

a real difference with these.

I'll get a million followers.

Really spread

the word, you know?

Well, I'm gonna

be late for class.

- Coming, Sloane?

- Yeah, let's roll.

- [sighs]

- You barely ate.

- Bye, mom. Bye, Aunt Jessica.

- Bye, ladies.

- Sloane, drive safe, please.

- Mmm.

- Now she wants me to be safe.

- Deep breath.

Wow, your mom really had it

out for me this morning.

Well, your mom literally just

told me to get a life.

[laughs] She did

say that, didn't she?

Yeah.

Wow, that's fast.

I mean, it couldn't

stay empty forever.

Pauline Adams only died

16 days ago.

- Now, someone new is moving in.

- Why are you counting?

I don't know, she was

a perfectly healthy woman

who died a sudden tragic death.

I thought she fell down

the stairs. [chuckles]

A likely story.

All this m*rder stuff

just really freaks me out.

Because of Katie?

Well, yeah, she's

practically family.

My best friend was

brutally m*rder*d,

and police still haven't

found the monster who did it.

I mean, the b*stard

sprinkled her body parts.

- Sloane, Sloane, please.

- I'm just saying.

Itshouldmake you uncomfortable.

Have you thought more about

going back to school?

Uh, no, I don't even know

what I'd take anymore.

Well, with your head for crime,

you could go into

law enforcement.

[scoffs] No, thank you.

Or forensics.

You could make

a really big difference.

Iammaking a difference.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I will even watch your FlickMo.

And you can quiz me on it.

You actually want to be quizzed?

Uh, guilty.

- [laughs]

- You're such a nerd.

- I am, and I'm flattered.

- [car starts]

[Amanda] Couples yoga

retreat. Ugh!

Namaste. I need a retreat

right now, but I can't.

Oh, oh, that's so cute.

I know they opened up the place,

- like right next door.

- [gasps]

I want to go, except

I'm not a couple.

But one day. One day,

you guys. Have a great one.

[laughs]

Okay. Yes.

[music over stereo]

Go away.

What do you think of that one?

- No, I'm not playing.

- Oh, come on, I'm bored.

Please.

[indistinct chatter]

Okay.

Lives with her mom,

works in the custodial arts.

- Not a m*rder*r, though.

- Mm. What about him?

Mmm, uses his hands

to k*ll small animals.

- Could escalate at any moment.

- Oh.

What about Mr. Hat

and Pink Coat?

Furries. Oh, they're into

all sorts of furry sex.

- Look at that fursona!

- Oh! Ew, oh, my God.

I still think Nathan's our guy.

Yep, he's got m*rder written

all over his murdery face.

[Sloane] Nathan's harmless.

[Amanda] You always say that,

but, like, how can

you be so sure?

[Sloane] He was Katie's

step brother.

Yeah, and the whole town

still thinks,

- like he k*ller her.

- Okay, that's enough.

Stop. Leave him alone.

[upbeat song over stereo]

Somebody's touchy today.

You just stock the coffee cups

or something, would you?

Whoa!

[instrumental music]

Hi. I like your scarf.

Oh, thank you.

My aunt actually

gave it to me as a gift

and she passed recently,

so it's a bit sentimental.

Aww!

- Died!

- Amanda, coffee cups.

- I...

- Yeah.

[laughs] Try the dark roast.

I saw you leave your house

this morning.

Sorry. I'm your new neighbor.

I moved in across the street.

Oh, you're the guy who moved

into Pauline Adams house.

Yeah, she's my aunt.

She left the house to me.

- Hm.

- I'm Elliott, by the way.

And you're "Reading go away."

- Yeah. Uh, no. Sloane.

- Sloane.

You know what? I think I'll

try that dark roast, Sloane.

- Yeah, sure.

- Room for cream.

[song over stereo]

Sorry about your aunt.

Thank you.

Moved into her house

pretty quick.

Yeah, turns out I got

a great job in the area,

- so it all kinda worked out.

- Ah, it's convenient.

No, it's preparedness

meets opportunity.

Were you two close?

[grim music]

You could say that.

I've just never seen you

around before, so...

Well, she mostly

visited us in Cleveland,

but I did visit for

the summer about two years ago.

You must be sad that she's gone.

I think I'll take my coffee now.

What if I'm not done

asking questions?

I think you are.

- Everything cool?

- Yeah.

Just getting to

know the neighbors.

- Mm.

- What do I owe you?

What do you know? New customers

get a free cup of Joe.

- No.

- I insist.

Please come again.

- Not a thing.

- Thank you.

Oh. Amanda.

I'm Amanda. [chuckles]

[mellow song over stereo]

Oh, I got it. I got it.

Ah, thanks.

That's really nice of you.

Seriously, Sloane,

you almost scared him away

with your Spanish imposition.

Inquisition. And

you should have seen him.

He was making power moves.

Are you sure

he wasn't just flirting?

No, no, no, no.

He was trying

to exert dominance.

The average serial k*ller

exhibits five main traits.

Charming, narcissistic,

manipulative, controlling...

And lacks empathy.

Yeah, I heard you say it

a zillion times before.

Yes, and that guy just

takes all five bucks and...

Please. He's way too hot

to be a serial k*ller.

[Sloane] That's what

they said about Ted Bundy.

[sighs] You ruin everything.

[song continues]

Of a drama queen

[grim music]

[woman crying]

Let me out of here! Let me out!

No, no! No,

please, don't hurt me!

Please, release me!

[whimpers]

Please, please, please, please!

Please!

Please!

[woman cries]

Help me!

And for you, you're cheating.

[Jessica] I'm not cheating.

That wasn't cheating.

[Abby] You're there.

[Jessica] Fine, I'm a cheat.

- Hi, sweetie. How was school?

- Hey.

If I learned one more thing,

I think my head will explode.

Well, can you please

give me the answers?

Because I'm done suffering

through game night alone.

[Jessica] Oh, hey. I met the

new neighbor this afternoon.

- Elliott?

- Yes. I brought him a lasagna.

- He's Pauline Adam's nephew.

- Was her nephew.

- And I met him this morning.

- What, you did?

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- Your mom thinks he's cute.

- Cute...

No, no, mom. I get

a bad feeling about him.

You get a bad feeling

about everybody.

[Jessica] You know what?

You two girls should go over

there and say hello.

- Mom, please. Ew!

- What?

[Jessica] He moved

back into town.

Now he lives in that big house

all by himself.

It's so lonely.

So Pauline Adams didn't have

any other living relatives?

I don't, I don't know.

Which means

his family is all dead.

- [Abby] Sloane...

- What?

[chuckles] And she

dies super suddenly,

and you don't find

that a little suspicious?

No offense, but you think

everybody's suspicious.

Okay, well, I thought

he was very charming.

Yeah, yeah, charming...

- controlling, narcissistic.

- Okay, Sloane...

What? Do you not watch

any of the crime profile

vids I send you?

- Oh, you do send me too many.

- I sent you one.

I think those journals are

making you paranoid.

I'm saving lives with them.

What are you doing, Aunt Abby?

Taking advantage of my mom?

[mellow song over stereo]

Excuse me?

Sloane! That's enough.

Sloane just really cares

about everyone's safety.

I think it's admirable.

I don't believe

in my lucky day

- There. I know.

- Ew!

- It's fine. It's fine.

- Why does it seem so stuffy?

- We're fine.

- Okay.

Are any pages of your journals

dedicated to Nathan?

No, of course not.

Hi, Nathan.

[Camila] Okay, I get that

he's Katie's brother,

but you have to admit

he's still strange.

I mean, he's always sitting

there just watching.

I know, but think about it,

in less than two years,

his step sister gets m*rder*d,

then his parents leave town.

He just lives

by himself in that house

[Sloane] with that little dog.

Must be lonely.

That doesn't make him a k*ller.

[machine whirring]

- That guy on the other hand...

- [chuckles]

[whirring]

[birds chirping]

What-what are you doing?

I'm waving to our cute neighbor.

- Not cute. You don't know him.

- So?

Being friendly is how you

get to know someone.

It's also how you get m*rder*d.

[instrumental music]

[door closes]

[whirring]

- Boo!

- Oh, oh, my God.

[laughing]

- You're so creepy.

- [laughs]

So did you fill out

your journal yet?

Sloane, please. I'm drowning

in homework right now.

It's okay. I'll help you.

No, actually... [sighs]

I actually don't want to.

Why? [chuckles]

Why wouldn't you want to take

all the precautions necessary...

Sloane, I think that you're

getting a little too intense

on all of these things.

I'm working to prevent

senseless violence, so...

I don't know if it's good

for your mental health.

- I'm perfectly healthy...

- Or mine.

I already told you that

all of this true crime stuff

really freaks me out,

and those journals,

it's just like it's inviting

something bad to happen somehow.

You know what's not healthy?

Pretending that

violence doesn't exist

when it's all around you.

Sloane, I-I get that

that's how you feel

- after what happened to Katie.

- Yeah.

What happened to Katie is that

she never should

have gotten k*lled

and her m*rder*r

is still out there.

- Okay...

- She was my best friend.

And every day I wonder if

she'd had a journal like this

then the cops probably

would have found her in time.

But you don't know that.

[somber music]

Camila, I lost Katie.

And I don't wanna lose you too.

- So...

- Sloane, no.

[door slams]

[thuds]

[low thud]

[grim music]

[insects chirping]

[Elliott] But, uh...

it's okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[music continues]

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

- Hi!

- Oh! Oh, my gosh.

- Sorry.

- Did I frighten you?

Oh, yeah. I, um, I just

didn't see you coming up.

I wanted to return this.

Your mom makes a mean lasagna.

Uh, my aunt, actually.

- You're a student?

- Um, yeah.

In college over in West State.

[door opens]

[chuckles]

I don't think your sister

likes me that much.

Oh, cousin.

And she's just protective.

- Um, I should...

- Well, uh...

Thank your aunt for me.

See you around.

- [sighs]

- You're judging.

I'm just curious.

What did you two

have to talk about?

Nothing.

I just told him where

I went to school, that's it.

Be careful around him.

No, Sloane,

you need to be careful.

You're pointing fingers at a guy

you've barely said

three words to.

You're defending him.

What's that about?

Okay, can we just go, please?

I don't want to be

late for class.

- Of course you don't.

- Okay.

[mumbling]

Thank you.

Oh, baby, let's get

lost tonight

Throwing the bad vibes out

And then I will

stay the night

- Check it out.

- What, what? What?

Nathan's gonna

make a move on Paige.

- Well, maybe I should stop him.

- Don't you dare.

[mellow song over stereo]

[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

Uh, can I help you?

I was wondering if

maybe you wanted to

[Nathan] see a movie sometime.

There's a great

Kung Fu double feature

at the Odeon this weekend.

I'm good. Thanks.

[mellow song over stereo]

How come?

Sorry.

How come you don't want to

see a movie with me?

Well, for starters,

you asked me to see

two movies, not one.

Um, so that's a bit much.

And you're also

just not my type.

And what's your type?

I don't know. Normal people.

People who don't come in here

and stare at everyone

like a creepoid.

- Ouch!

- That was uncalled for.

You think I'm a creep?

Well, yeah.

Not to mention...

You know what? Never mind.

No, go ahead. Say it.

Just that everybody here thinks

that you k*lled

your step sister.

[grim music]

Those are just rumors.

Well, either way,

I don't really feel like

getting m*rder*d anytime soon.

But, thanks.

No offense, by the way.

- What the hell?

- Whoa! Hey. Hey.

Is there a problem here?

It's got nothing to do with you.

I said, is there a problem here?

Okay, okay, that's enough.

Okay, stop. Party's over.

Stop, stop, stop.

God. Hey, Nathan,

back to your chair.

Elliott, counter.

Amanda, stop recording.

- I'm not...

- What are you doing? God.

- Paige, are you okay?

- Yeah.

Okay. God.

[indistinct chatter]

Thanks for coming

to my rescue again.

Yeah, no problem.

God, what a weirdo.

Okay, leave him alone.

[mellow song over stereo]

Okay.

Can I buy you a coffee

this time, please?

It's cool, I got it.

Hey, Sloane. Can I get

a large coffee, please?

- Room for cream.

- To go?

To stay.

[indistinct chatter]

- Care if I join you?

- Of course not.

- She's not wasting any time.

- Neither is he.

He was just flirting

with Camila this morning.

What's he see in her?

She's so, like, book wormy.

Take out the trash, would you?

[mumbling]

[mellow song over stereo]

[Amanda screams]

[clinking]

[grim music]

[screams]

Remember that severed

foot we found

outside Crown and Press

yesterday? Yeah.

It was positively identified

to match other body parts

found around the area

and belong to none other

then Diana Herrington,

who is now presumed dead.

Diana was reported missing

by her family last Thursday.

She was 25 years old.

And police are telling us

they have no suspects.

But I'm willing to bet

if Diana had

anlf I Go Missingjournal,

they wouldn't be so in the dark.

Remember, fear is a tool

that can save your life.

- [knocking on the door]

- Enter.

Hey.

How are you?

Check this out @TrueCrimeHeroes

thinks I could get

a sponsorship.

Oh, so you're, you're not upset?

About what?

Uh, yesterday you found

a dismembered body

20 feet from where you work?

Um, yeah, well, I've seen worse.

Wh-when have you seen worse?

I've done so much research

in the true crime space

I'm kind of used to it.

You know, Sloane,

it's-it's okay not to be okay.

Oh, my God!

I just hit 20,000 followers.

- Sloane.

- What?

This proves that everything

I've been doing

with the journals

is exactly right.

People need these.

So, you don't find it

triggering?

Katie has nothing to

do with this.

She has everything

to do with this.

What about the fact that her-her

k*ller's still out there?

That doesn't bother you?

Yeah, of course it bothers me.

Camila, that's what

I've been trying to tell you.

There are always

K*llers out there.

Yeah, but now that you're

broadcasting it

to 20,000 viewers...

Oh, my God, 20,500.

So if the k*ller's

one of those viewers,

they know where you work now.

Well, sounds to me

like somebody is ready to

fill out her journal.

You're obsessed.

Yeah. That's what makes me

so good at all this.

[pensive music]

[sighs]

You're not saving lives, so...

you're endangering

yours and mine.

[sighs]

[vehicle approaching]

[grim music]

[Sloane] Paige,

what are you doing?

I thought you're

supposed to be smart.

[indistinct chatter]

[music continues]

[insects chirping]

[door opens]

[Elliott] Hey, wait, wait.

Where are you going?

Relax. Hey, hey.

I'm not staying over with

another girl's toothbrush

in your bathroom...

[indistinct speech]

- Thank you.

- I'm sleeping in your bed.

[Elliott] Okay, stay in my bed.

[tense music]

Oh, love that you swoon, oh

You didn't seem at all

like-like pretender

It seem you were not

known to defend you

You didn't seem at all

like-like pretender

[knocking]

[instrumental music]

Amanda?

I'm here.

- Hello?

- Give me one sec.

- Oh, my God.

- Thanks for giving me a ride.

Car wouldn't start. No idea why.

They've had it

for three days now.

- How long can they keep it?

- Eh.

I guess till they figure out

what's wrong with it.

Hmm.

[Sloane] This place.

Do your parents pay for it?

Psst! No.

Okay, yeah. You know

how much we get paid.

True. Uh, can I use your

bathroom before we get going?

No, um, the toilet's clogged.

Better use it at the shop.

Come on, let's go back to the

scene of the trauma, shall we?

[ominous music]

Shouldn't you close your window?

Hm, I like to live dangerously.

[sirens wailing]

[upbeat music over stereo]

Can't believe they made us

come back to work so soon.

It's been two whole days.

I find it disturbing how calm

you are about all this.

Just because Diana Herrington's

foot was found here

doesn't mean

she was k*lled here.

But it does mean that her k*ller

probably graced us

with his presence

when he came to drop it off

at the dumpster, super sleuth.

- [Nathan] I can keep an eye out.

- Nathan?

[chuckles] I didn't

hear you come in.

Thought maybe you'd

feel better if I was here.

[chuckles] I don't know if I'll

ever feel that way,

but just do us a solid

and don't ask anyone else out.

- Where is Paige?

- Come to think of it.

Maybe she's freaked out

about the foot too,

like a normal person.

[rock music over stereo]

I'll be over here

if you need me.

Okay. Thanks, Nathan.

Do you want a croissant?

- [Nathan] Sure.

- Sure, I'll get you one.

Yes, thank you, Sloane,

for being so accommodating

to suspect number one.

Lay off, okay?

It is weird that Paige

isn't here though.

Again, not everyone's

super comfortable

with hanging out

at a m*rder scene.

But Paige is like

our most loyal customer.

I hope she is okay.

[grim music]

[heavy breathing]

[whimpering]

[screams]

- How much?

- More than last week.

Okay, we'll split it.

We can buy something we need.

Oh, yeah. It's...

Welcome back.

- Dark roast?

- Room for cream.

Glad you guys could

reopen so quick.

Hm. So, Elliott, when was

the last time you saw Paige?

Uh, last night.

I'm sure you know that.

[grim music]

- How was it?

- She went home early.

Hm. What do you consider early?

[laughs] I didn't

check the time.

Well, have you

spoken to her today?

- You know I haven't, actually.

- Hm.

Well, she's always here,

and today, she's not.

So... what do you

suppose that means?

Sloane, keep up

your party tricks

and we'll lose

Elliott's business.

We don't want to

lose you, Elliott.

- Thanks, Andrea.

- Amanda.

Don't worry.

Sloane doesn't bother me.

I'll be back.

[music continues]

- Did you see that?

- Oh!

- Oh!

- Oh! I'm so sorry.

It's okay. I saved it.

Careful texting and walking.

Oh, I'm-I'm not texting.

I am reading

a statistics article.

Wow. How is that?

- Um, tedious.

- Hm.

[Camila] I don't really do

numbers. They're too boring.

[clicks tongue]

You are a numbers

guy, aren't you?

- A little bit. Yeah.

- Yeah.

A research analyst. Hedge funds.

But I promise

I'm not that boring.

No, I don't think you're boring.

I think you're very exciting.

Wow. Thank you, Camila.

[chuckles]

Anyways, I hope

you enjoy your coffee.

Yes, and you too.

- I'll see you around.

- Hm.

- [sighs] Hi.

- Could you be any more obvious?

Stick to your studies.

- [scoffs]

- Amanda. Go check the bathroom.

Make sure there's

enough TP or something.

So good to be back.

[pop song over stereo]

So why'd you come?

- I came to see you.

- Hm. Did you now?

What?

I don't want you

talking to Elliott.

Okay. Do you have a crush

on him or something?

- Is-is that what this is about?

- No, Camila, listen to me.

Elliott shouldn't be trusted.

[sighs] Sloane, please.

I don't think you really

know him that well.

- You can't make these judgments.

- Okay.

Maybe you can't

see his controlling behavior

or his overt narcissism,

but news flash,

Paige is MIA and she just

went on a date with him.

Sloane, you don't get to tell me

who I can and cannot talk to.

Even if your life depends on it?

Uh, I'm actually

gonna take the bus.

[Camila] I'll-I'll

see you at home.

No, it's... Camila.

I'm so sorry,

I didn't mean it like that...

f*ck!

[whimper] Help! Please!

[Paige panting]

[screams]

[breathing heavily]

[grim music]

[screams]

[blood dripping]

[Jessica] So how was

the cafe today?

Usual.

That's horrible.

So close to home.

Speaking of horrible,

um, I saw Elliott today...

and it really cleared

some things up for me.

[Jessica] It's good, right?

Uh, get this.

[Sloane] Last night, Paige

goes to Elliott's house.

[Abby] I'm sorry. Who's Paige?

A regular at the coffee shop.

Anyway, at 12:47 a.m.,

they get into an argument.

- Okay. Why do you know this?

- I heard them.

And then I saw him

chase her out.

- He chased her?

- Yeah, to her car.

Well, today I asked

him about it.

You didn't!

Yeah, and you should

have seen him.

Oh, he hates being questioned.

- Big surprise.

- No, he wasn't upset.

But at one point,

he looks me in the eyes

and he says,

"Sloane doesn't bother me."

I don't get it.

I mean, serial K*llers always

fight for the upper hand.

No, he-he knows I'm on to him.

- And he was threatening me.

- Okay, Sloane.

No. Look, I want us all

to keep our eyes...

Camila and I are moving out

at the end of the month.

What?

- We are?

- Yeah. It's for the best.

We need to get her

on her own two feet.

No, Abby, you-you

don't have to leave yet.

[Camila] Mmm.

This is about me, isn't it?

I'm not wrong about Elliott.

It's just a matter of time

before I catch him.

And you will all know

that I was right.

Okay. Sloane?

Ugh!

Great. Thank you.

- Is this my fault?

- [Jessica] Mm, mmm-hm.

- Uh, yeah, it's not my fault.

- We can talk about this.

- It's not my fault.

- No, we can talk about it.

Just you and I. We...

[grim music]

[insects chirping]

Hi.

[Elliott] Hi.

[indistinct chatter]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[car revving]

[clicks]

[music continues]

[vehicle whirring]

Nothing?

[grim music]

[music continues]

[chill song over stereo]

[pensive music]

Two years ago,

my best friend Katie Williams

was m*rder*d.

Her k*ller still walks free.

And then one week ago,

pieces of Diana Herrington's

body turned up

outside Crown and Press.

And last Thursday,

Paige Browne went missing.

And it's been five days.

Something terrible is going on.

And I'm telling you

from the front lines

of my now officially

verified account,

thelf I Go Missingjournal

is your best line of defense.

[Elliott] Hey, uh, all right.

Yeah, be careful there...

Oh! [chuckles]

[Elliot] Careful.

Watch the step here.

[woman #1] Mm-hmm.

[indistinct chatter]

[mellow song over stereo]

- You like the music going?

- I do.

[indistinct chatter]

[car engine starts]

Hi, everyone, thank you

all so much for coming out,

taking the time out of

your busy schedules.

[Sloane] This is

really important.

We can really make a difference.

Um, I printed out a whole

bunch of these posters

and I thought we could

go around the neighborhood

and just put up as many

as we possibly can.

So I thought maybe we could

just split up into groups

and that way we can cover

as much terrain as possible.

And I also want to thank you all

for wearing your IIGM pins.

[grim music]

Um, 2-4-6.

[phone vibrates]

[mellow song]

- Hey.

- Oh. Oh, my God. Hi.

Do you have

an extra pair of glasses?

Uh, glasses. I think so.

Yeah, just like a pair

you don't wear anymore.

I think so, yeah.

- Here.

- Thank you.

- Uh, what's going on?

- Nothing.

I just want to see what

I'd look like if I wore glasses.

Uh, I think those might

hurt your eyes, though.

It's fine. Thank you.

[sighs]

[soft music]

[sighs]

[clattering]

[sighs]

So...

Sloane, if this is about Elliott

I don't wanna talk about it.

You know he's seeing

dozens of other girls, right?

You know what? I am sick

of you bringing this up.

Your nose.

What? Oh, oh, sh**t.

- Oh, my God. Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just, it's so dry

in this house, and I...

It doesn't help that

I'm living in the attic

like some unwanted stepchild.

- Who said you weren't?

- [laughs]

Wait, uh...

You still have some, yeah...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'm gonna go take care of these.

- Yeah.

- [laughs]

[upbeat music]

[phone vibrates]

[music continues]

9:00 A.M. is perfect.

Look at Sloane's behavior.

She's not moving on from

Katie's death in a healthy way.

She just needs

a little more time.

And it's not like Camila was all

about psychology before, either.

She's not accusing our neighbors

of being serial K*llers.

Our daughters are

just different.

Yeah.

Morning.

Good morning.

I'm just gonna go.

Got to go. Gonna

be late. Camila?

[Camila] Coming.

- The glasses look good.

- Thank you.

- Bye, mom.

- Bye.

[sighs]

[upbeat song]

[door closes]

We've been in

I see you looking this way

We got our own groove

Whoa.

- I was trying something new.

- [chuckles]

Oh, you look like

old school Britney Spears

mixed with

your cousin, actually.

Exactly what I'm going for.

Greetings, Elliott.

Would you like

your habitual order?

A large dark roast, extra hot.

Not too hot.

[chuckles]

- Amanda.

- Oh! Do you want me...

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Room for cream.

- Yep.

- That'll be $3.49.

- No, no, it's on me.

[rap song over stereo]

Wait a minute.

Are you StudyGirl104?

That's a good hypothesis.

Hey, Sloane, I think I left

my textbook in your car.

[grim music]

Uh, never mind.

- Camila...

- Wait. No, no. Um...

You and I, we got off

on the wrong foot.

I would love to get to

know you better.

We should go on a study date.

I've got so much homework.

You could help me

with my dissertation...

Okay, look, look,

I'm not interested.

- What?

- You're not my type.

Please. I'm exactly your type.

I'm brunette.

I use big words. I'm studious.

[laughs] What?

We should go on a date,

you know tonight.

- I'm busy tonight.

- How about tomorrow?

I've got a date, actually.

With your cousin.

You're going out with Camila?

Yeah. Sorry.

You know, I-I also know,

like, big words.

[song continues]

- Do you?

- Yeah.

- Thanks for the coffee.

- Anytime.

[chuckles]

- Camila! Wait up.

- I don't wanna talk to you.

You're going out with Elliott?

Have you lost your mind?

You're only doing this

to get back to me...

Oh, yes, Sloane, because

everything I do

is all about you.

Why can't you see that

the guy is a psycho.

I know you like to play it,

being naive or whatever,

but this is insanity.

Oh, insanity.

Sloane, this isn't right.

None of this is right.

You're following Elliott

around like a stalker

and now you're

dressing up like me

just to get on a date with him.

I'm trying to bait him,

not date him.

I'm protecting you.

Ask my 100,000 followers.

You want to know why

you have 100,000 followers?

Because you are

an embarrassment.

You're like a living,

breathing car crash

and everyone's just slowing down

to get a glimpse of the carnage.

And you're too stubborn

to get the help

you so desperately need.

Look, at the very least,

Elliott is the f*ck boy

and you could do better.

But it is far more likely

that I'm right

and Elliott is dangerous.

It's not him that's

dangerous, Sloane,

it's you.

[somber music]

[Elliott] Hey, Camila!

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

Look, I've been thinking.

And...

maybe we should put a hold

on going out.

I don't want to cause any

problems with your family.

Um...

is-is that what you want?

[scoffs] No.

I'd love to go out with you.

It's just...

Well, your cousin.

[exhales]

[instrumental music]

What are you doing right now?

[chuckling]

- I'm glad we did this.

- Yeah, totally.

Oh, sorry.

[laughs] It's okay.

[indistinct chatter]

Is everything okay?

Um...

[exhales] Yeah, I guess I'm

just worried about Sloane.

She's been so hot

and cold lately.

One minute she's lovingly

cleaning up the blood

from one of my nosebleeds.

I'm sorry, that's really gross.

- That's okay.

- Um...

But then the next

she's treating me like

I'm the dumbest person

she's ever met in the world.

Yeah. What's up with her?

'Cause I swear for

the moment we met

she's had it out for me.

It's like she thinks

I'm a sociopath.

Uh, psychopath.

Sociopaths are generally

incapable of faking empathy

and tend to be... more

impulsive, like me.

- No, no, no, it's okay.

- [laughs]

Hm.

You're the opposite

of your cousin.

Why is that?

Just that you...

you see the good in people.

[sighs]

Well, it's not

totally her fault.

A couple years ago, she

lost her best friend, Katie.

[Camila]She was k*lled.

Katie and Sloane were

basically inseparable

until their freshman year

of college.

Katie started dating this guy

and became really

secretive about him.

She started distancing

herself from Sloane.

And then one night,

Katie and Sloane

got into a really big fight,

and she went off by herself...

and no one ever saw her again.

That's terrifying.

Yeah.

Katie was missing for eight days

before police found

pieces of her body

in a field outside of town.

You know what? I think

my aunt did mention

something about that

last time I visited her.

[grim music]

Did they catch the k*ller?

[exhales]

And Sloane never forgave herself

for losing her best friend

like that.

She dropped out of school,

became obsessed

with true crime stuff.

She even started

the FlickMo channel

where she examines

homicides and figures out

how they could have

been prevented.

- That's intense.

- That's Sloane.

[laughs]

And what about you?

Me?

I like to form my

own opinions about people.

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

[both chuckle]

Anyways, uh, what were

you like as a kid?

My childhood was a bit... rough.

Oh, why's that?

My sister.

- She was the favorite.

- [scoffs]

- I'm sure that's not true.

- No, no, it was.

She was this physics prodigy.

- Yeah.

- Mmm...

And so my parents devoted all

their time and energy to her.

And no matter what I did,

it was never enough.

So... I became the black sheep.

I showed them, though.

What-what do you mean by that?

You know, just that

I have a decent job now...

and a great house...

and being here with you.

It's a fresh start.

Hm. To fresh starts.

[chuckles]

To fresh starts.

[clinking]

[chill song]

A single man in his head

I had a good time.

- [chuckles]

- Can I walk you home?

I-I think I can manage.

I'll survive.

All right. Careful.

If you look out the door

Just take my hand

And show me the city

And cry out loud

You come on to the street

To live wild

Handyman

[door opens]

Live

I don't to miss

[sighs]

[phone vibrates]

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[grim music]

[upbeat music]

Nathan?

[indistinct chatter]

So when do I get my sweatshirt?

You can have it right now.

No, that's not what I...

Like, I want a new one for me

so I can reform,

not your old... Okay.

[mellow song over stereo]

Okay, this brownie's yours

and I'll go get more filters.

Sloane, are you okay?

Not really, but, uh, whatever.

It's Elliott, isn't it?

All anyone can say

is how charming he is, but...

Superficial charm is

the trait of a serial k*ller.

- I've watched your videos.

- Exactly.

I see what he's doing.

The narcissism,

the controlling behavior.

- Yeah.

- I see what you see.

You've always had my back.

I just wanted you

to know I have yours.

Thanks, Nathan.

I really appreciate that.

- Nathan Williams?

- Yeah.

May we have a word?

What-what's going on?

Would you mind

coming down to the station?

We'd like to ask you

a few questions.

- Am I under arrest?

- No, sir.

- We can fill you in on the way.

- Don't touch me.

- What's going on?

- No...

I didn't, I didn't do anything.

[grim music]

- Oh, my God.

- That was fast.

Wait, what?

I called the police to

report suspicious activity.

You reported Nathan?

Yeah, he was trolling me

and Paige.

He's not just sitting out there

with his little dog

on the porch.

He's posting heinous things.

You should have seen the stuff

that he wrote on our FlickMos.

- Come on.

- And he has a red coat,

- just like in the Paige photo.

- Okay, no, no.

It couldn't have

been Nathan. Okay?

- There is no...

- Oh, right. Right.

And you've seen

Elliott kicking puppies

in the parking lot.

Elliott is different,

and you know that.

You're only upset

because you hate being wrong.

I'm not wrong!

[music continues]

Whatever, Sloane.

You can tell it

to your followers.

Oh, come on, Camila.

- Come on.

- Your cousin's hardcore.

Oh, my God. What?

I mean, she went behind your

back to hook up with Elliott.

What kind of b*tch does

that to her own cousin?

Okay, Amanda, I'm only

gonna say this once.

Do not talk about

my cousin that way.

[pop song over stereo]

[instrumental music]

We start with baking,

instead with flour.

- No, you didn't.

- Yeah. I mean,

we basically made

the oven explode. But it's okay.

That was good,

but it's dangerous.

- You exploded the oven?

- Yes.

But we were fine.

No one was harmed.

- Okay, that's good.

- Yeah. But it was ridiculous.

Sloane would always

decide what we did.

- And you just went with it?

- Yeah.

She's like an older sister.

And-and our moms always said

that we were more like

sisters than cousins.

But you have a sister, so I'm

sure you got into all sorts...

Oh, we were never really close.

Oh. How come?

[mellow song over stereo]

Um...

- You know she was a prodigy?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, it doesn't matter

what I did

when you're competing against

someone like that.

- Well, maybe you don't have to.

- [chuckles]

What was that supposed to mean?

Well, just that parents

can put a lot of pressure

on their kids sometimes.

I know with grad school

coming up...

Mmm.

I don't, I don't know,

maybe it's hard to understand.

Because I didn't go to college?

[grim music]

That's not what I meant.

'Cause it doesn't make you

smarter than me.

Uh-uh...

I didn't say that.

[clattering]

Um...

Have you talked to

your sister about it?

[mellow song over stereo]

She's dead.

I-I'm so sorry.

[exhales]

How-how did she die?

What do you say we

get out of here?

[mellow song]

He had great eyes

Brighter than the sun

I'm missing something.

[grim music]

[clicks]

[typing]

[Sloane] Who drives a white SUV?

[chuckles]

What?

Let's finish up.

[car door shuts]

Thank you.

[clatters]

So are you gonna help

or you're just gonna

text all night?

Okay, put the phone down

or I'll throw it in the trash.

- Okay. Okay. Oh, God.

- Can you go check the bathrooms?

You know you were hired,

like, ten minutes before me.

You're not my boss.

I cleaned them

the last three days.

You owe me.

If I do them, can I go home?

- You have somewhere else to be?

- Obviously.

Okay. Leave the phone though.

[grim music]

Uh, her birthday...

Ryan Gosling's birthday?

1-2-3-4.

Oh, she really is

that stupid. Okay.

[music continues]

[screams]

[Amanda] Bathroom's done.

I'm out of here.

Hey, how's your car?

What? Oh, yeah. All good.

Did they figure out

what was wrong?

Yeah, I'm an idiot.

My car takes normal gas,

not diesel.

But they still have to fix

a muffler or something.

Goodnight.

[grim music]

[beeps]

[sighs]

Amanda, what the hell

have you done?

[exhales]

[sighs]

Hey, did you

wanna... come inside?

- Really?

- You seem surprised.

I, I don't know, I guess.

I, I thought I offended you

at some point.

Sometimes I have a hard time

admitting that I'm wrong.

And I realized

that with my sister.

[Elliot] She died from

cancer a few years ago

and clearly I can't keep my cool

when she comes up

in conversation.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Anyway, um...

I understand if you don't

want to hang out again,

but I would love to

spend more time with you.

I can't tonight.

Um, but not 'cause

I don't want to.

I... just have

a bunch of homework

that I should, you know,

probably go do, um...

Right.

But...

do you want to walk me home?

[chuckles] I can do that.

Thanks. It's very dangerous.

[laughs] I'll walk you home.

[laughs] Thank you.

[grim music]

- Well.

- Yes.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

Um...

I-I should...

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

[music continues]

- [door opens]

- [door shuts]

- I think I figured it out.

- I'm not doing this right now.

No, I was wrong.

I have been so fixated

on Elliott

that I didn't catch

Amanda's red flag...

Oh, great. So now

Amanda's backing you up?

- No, that's...

- Everyone knows...

that Amanda has the world's

biggest crush on Elliott.

She's only agreeing with you

about the serial k*ller stuff

because she wants me

out of the picture.

Okay, stop, Camila.

Listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

Elliott is kind

and he's a human being

with flaws and feelings

and a past,

and I really like him.

And I have had it with

your baseless accusations.

I am trying to protect you.

Jeez, Camila, it's like you-you

want to be the next victim.

I am not a victim.

Maybe if you stopped living

like one, you could see that.

- [door unlocks]

- Elliott, wait.

[instrumental music]

Can I come over?

Yeah.

- [door opens]

- [door closes]

No one ever f*cking

listens to me!

f*ck!

[breathes deeply]

[dramatic music]

f*ck!

What's going on?

Camila didn't come

home last night

and I have called her,

like, 15 times.

Oh, I'm sure she's fine. She's...

It's not like her.

At least she could

just... text me back.

Well, uh, she's young.

She spent the night with

a very handsome young man

who just happens to

live across the street.

What's the worst thing

that could happen?

Oh, right.

- That.

- [knocking]

[door opens]

- Sloane...

- Is Camila here?

Well, she's not tied up

in my basement,

if that's what you're thinking.

Look, my Aunt Abby

is super worried

and too embarrassed

to come over here to ask

if Camila stayed the night.

So if you could just tell her

to check her phone...

- She's not here.

- What do you mean?

Well, she went home early

this morning.

Maybe you missed her and

she went out to a study group?

Okay, how can, how can I help?

Let us know if you

hear from her.

[door opens]

[Abby] Is she there?

- No, no, Abby.

- Okay.

- Where are you going?

- To get Camila back.

[upbeat music]

[door shuts]

[grim music]

[screams]

[grunts]

- What the hell, Amanda?

- What? You're in my house.

- Where's Camila?

- How the hell should I know?

- I will call the police.

- Go ahead.

You can tell them that

you kidnapped Camila.

- I did what?

- You kidnapped Paige Browne.

You m*rder*d Diana Herrington.

Are you out of

your f*cking mind?

- Okay. What happened to Camila?

- Where did you put them, huh?

And what are you hiding in here?

You know, you should really

clean up in there.

- It's disgusting.

- Sloane, you are insane.

I have no idea what happened to

your cousin or Diana or Paige.

No? I saw your threats

on their FlickMo pages.

- You're @LoveCityfan.

- Okay, fine. You caught me.

I'm a troll, but I was just

blowing off some steam, okay?

They're so entitled.

I couldn't stand their

whole school is hard

and f*cking "ros all day"

type of bullshit.

What, so you just go around

watching people like

a creep? Really?

I just wanted to see

what the girls

Elliott was interested

in had that I didn't.

You're pathetic.

Hello, pot, it's kettle.

No, no, no.

But you seemed so happy

when Paige disappeared.

And then you said all that

stuff about Camila.

Yeah, that's called jealousy.

And you really should talk to

my therapist or any therapist.

So last Thursday,

when Paige disappeared...

- Wait, did you say Thursday?

- Yes.

Paige and Diana both

disappeared on Thursday.

Well, it definitely

couldn't have been me.

"Loving The City"

comes on that night

and I'm the fandom

moderator. Okay?

Every Thursday I'm online

arguing with idiots all night.

Last Thursday was huge.

[Amanda] Benson

and Comrade got together

and I had to ban so many haters.

Some people just

don't understand

that sometimes what

you're looking for

has been right in front

of you the whole time.

Holy sh*t!

You better bring that

back, you psycho.

I need new friends.

[door shuts]

[grim music]

[shatters]

[door unlocks]

[grim music]

Aunt Pauline.

[music continues]

Hi, Aunt Pauline.

Camila?

[music continues]

sh*t!

[music continues]

- [clatters]

- [gasps]

[clinking]

[clicks]

[music continues]

[door opens]

[door shuts]

Sloane?

- What's going on?

- [knocking]

Sloane, sweetheart,

you need to come eat.

Sloane, come downstairs

and be part of the family.

Abby?

You k*lled her.

[scoffs]

You never let up, do you?

I had you pegged from

the moment I saw you.

[grim music]

[Sloane]I know

exactly how you work.

You target studious women,

probably an inferiority complex,

and you like them

with dark hair.

Then you cut them into pieces

and you dispose

of their body parts

using that gym bag.

Diana's severed foot turning

up was obviously a mistake.

But you were new to town, right?

You didn't know the best

place to ditch her yet.

[grim music]

And now I've got you.

Sloane.

It's not what you think.

This isn't Camila's blood?

Yes, yes, it's her blood.

But it's from a nosebleed.

- She had a nose...

- You can't manipulate me!

You k*lled Diana Herrington.

You k*lled Paige Browne.

You k*lled Camila.

And you probably

k*lled Katie too.

Sloane!

You're out of your mind.

Where's Camila?

Did you chop her up yet?

Look, I get it.

You're stressed.

You don't know me.

Why don't you sit down?

- Let's talk...

- So you can m*rder me too?

Okay, Sloane, I'm not

playing the screwed up game.

Alright?

I'm sorry if you feel rejected

that I chose Camila over you.

Rejected?

I've seen you watching me.

You have a crush.

But you're gonna

have to get over it

because Camille and

I really like each other.

Please, you're incapable

of feeling. You're a monster.

I really don't wanna hurt you.

No way.

Sloane. Sloane, are you okay?

Nathan, get

the hell out of my house.

- This doesn't involve you.

- It was Elliott.

It was Elliott the whole time!

He's the k*ller!

Call the police!

Don't call the police.

She's insane.

You have no idea

what's going on. Hey.

[grunts]

[female operator]911,

what's your emergency?

[grunts]

[911 operator]Hello?

Hello, can you hear me?

[intense music]

Hello? Hello?

[grunts]

Please!

[female operator]Hello. Are

you in need of assistance?

[Nathan] Sloane, hand the phone.

[female operator]Hello. Can

you please provide an address?

We caught the serial k*ller.

It's Elliott Adams.

Ellis Drive.

[panting]

The first time I saw you,

didn't think about it

You just breezed by

like a regular guy

But when I met you again

Where the earth

began to spin

I could feel it tilting

on its axis

Ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh

Oh, God. Somebody

call homicide. Now.

[somber music]

No! Camila! No!

- No, no, no!

- Shh!

[Sloane] Oh, my God.

No, no, no, no, no.

I didn't do anything.

She's crazy.

Abby! Abby! Stop.

- No, it's not her. It's not her.

- No, no!

No, it's not her.

It's not her. It's not her.

Abby. Abby, it's okay. I know.

- Okay.

- Sweetie.

You left these journals in case

something happened, didn't you?

[music continues]

- Here.

- What is it?

Camila's If I Go Missingjournal.

When she disappeared, this is

what I used to figure out

that Elliott was responsible.

And you can use the DNA samples

to match the towels

that I found inside.

Okay. Thank you, Miss Daniels.

[music continues]

[siren wailing]

Just got to find my keys. Okay?

Sloane.

[Abby] I'm sorry

I was so hard on you

about the true crime stuff.

I was just worried.

You've always been

like my daughter.

I wish I'd listened

to you sooner.

Okay, I got 'em.

Let's go.

Maybe you could see

if Nathan needs a ride.

- I got you.

- Okay.

Okay.

[knocking]

- Hey.

- Hey.

We're about to head out

to the funeral.

I wanted to see

if you still needed a ride.

I have some cleaning to do,

but I'll meet you down there.

I also wanted to thank you...

for saving me.

It was, it was nothing.

No, it wasn't.

I can't help but wonder

what could have

happened if you didn't...

Hey. Hey. It's okay.

- Sorry.

- It's okay.

I understand. It hurts to

lose the ones you love...

Yeah, I know.

Even if you didn't

see eye to eye.

Yeah.

- I should probably...

- Do you wanna...

Do you want to come over later?

Watch movies.

I think it's important to

spend time with my aunt tonight.

Makes sense.

But another time.

Sure. Another time.

Okay. Um, see you later.

[instrumental music]

- Hi, Camila.

- Hi, Nathan.

Can you help me find my dog?

[Camila screaming]

[music continues]

[music continues]

- And stop calling me.

- Katie?

You can't just end things

like that.

I'm tired of lying to people.

What we're doing is wrong.

What if somebody found out?

What, are you ashamed?

We knew this wouldn't

last forever.

You're not going anywhere.

[cries]

[whimpering]

[muffled speech]

[screams]

[instrumental music]

On March 14th,

my cousin Camila Richards

was m*rder*d

by Elliott Adams.

Following his arrest,

her body was found out

near the river...

and in a football field...

and behind a church.

[grim music]

[Sloane]But if it wasn't for

the If I Go Missing journal,

we wouldn't have

had the evidence

we needed to convict

Elliott Adams of m*rder...

and bring justice

to his victims.

These journals can

make a difference.

They helped put a real

serial k*ller behind bars.

I miss you, Camila.

[cries]

Rest in peace.

[sobs]

[chill song]

It's a silent role

It's a walk-on part,

one that you wrote

One that I've taken since

the day I found you

And at first,

it was a dream

I was so keen

To be a drama queen

A non-speaking role in some

old movie, as the time flies

As the train approaches

you've never been there

But you had to be mean,

to keep me keen

A real drama queen

All the world's a stage,

we are players

Whether we're standing

in the spotlight

Or hiding in the wings

I have to be mean,

to keep you keen

A real drama queen

I rush in I rush out

of a dull scene

Of a drama queen
