Snatched from the Crib (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[tense music]

[Eliza] Hey, it's me.

Sorry. I've been out of touch.

Things have been kind of crazy,

but it's about to get better.

Call me back. I wanna

hear how Paris has been.

[phone clicks]

[tense music continues]

[phone clacking]

[phone swooshes]

[sighing]

[phone chimes]

[phone clacking]

[tense music continues]

[door clicking]

[pensive music]

[car roaring]

[car roars by]

[pensive music continues]

[owls hooting]

[knocking]

[phone clacking]

[phone swooshes]

[intense music]

- [Eliza panting]

- No! No! No!

[Eliza screaming]

[door slamming]

[gentle music]

[car rumbling]

- [engine quits]

- [door clicks]

[tense music]

[computer beeping]

Someone's at her house.

Female. About 30 years old.

I'll send you the footage.

Find out who the girl is.

[phone plops]

[Cindy] Hey there. You looking

for Eliza?

[Gabi] Uh yeah.

Have you seen her lately?

[Cindy]

No, I haven't, Dear.

Eliza keeps to herself

mostly. Are you a friend?

- Family. I'm her stepsister.

- Hmm.

I've been trying to

reach her for two weeks now.

[Cindy]

Huh? Come to think of it.

That's probably the last time

I saw her car in the driveway.

Oh, her baby is

supposed to be due by now.

And you haven't heard from

her? Do you think she's okay?

I don't know, to be honest.

[Cindy] If you need anything, I

am right across the street,

and I brought up her mail.

The mailbox was full.

- Thanks.

- You take care now.

[tense music]

[door squeals]

[door rattling]

[door rattling]

Eliza?

Eliza, you home?

[tense music]

[Eliza] I am happy to see

someone's making you smile.

I met someone.

[Gabi] Okay?

And tell me about him.

[Eliza] He's everything I've

ever wanted

and it's also complicated.

Okay. Well, does this Mr.

Complicated have a name?

I'm not ready to make anything

public yet. It's really new.

Only a a couple months,

so I gave him a nickname.

Blue.

Blue? Why? Why

the nickname Blue?

Well, it's, it's

kind of perfect.

Okay, got it. No more questions.

Well, cheers to someone

who makes you smile.

- [glasses clink]

- [both giggle]

[phone ringing]

[Jennings] When was the last

time you heard from Eliza?

[Gabi] About two weeks ago.

She left me this message.

[Eliza] Hey, uh, it's me.

Sorry. I've been out of touch.

Things have been kind of crazy,

but it's about to get better.

Call me back. I wanna

hear how Paris has been.

I noticed she has

a security camera.

Maybe that picked up something?

We'll be sure to go

through the footage

um, and you're her stepsister.

[Gabi] Yeah. We're not

related by blood,

but it always felt like we were,

my father married her mother.

Why wait two weeks to

report Eliza missing?

I mean, it wasn't unusual

for her to not call me back.

I've been in Paris

and just flew in.

We weren't as close

as we used to be.

What about the

father of her child?

She always referred to

him by a nickname. Blue.

She was always vague about him.

[Gabi in flashback]

Eliza, what's wrong?

I didn't know who to call.

I'm, I'm pregnant.

By who? The guy you were

texting when you visited me.

Yeah. Blue.

[sighs] Can you just tell

me his real name? Okay?

He's about to be the

father of your child.

You know, it's

just, it's privacy.

- [phone clacking]

- [phone ringing]

[Jared voicemail] It's Jared.

Please leave a message.

Hey Jared, it's Gabi.

It's been a while.

Hey, look, I'm at Eliza's

house and she's not here.

I was hoping maybe

you've heard from her.

Can you just gimme a call

back when you get this please?

[phone clacking]

[tense music]

[Kate] I am going to a

meeting with Aiden.

- [Manager] I like that.

- [Kate] Be back soon.

Mmm-hmm.

[office worker]

As you were saying?

[melancholy music]

[Kate] Eliza?

[Eliza] Oh? Yes?

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

It's just pregnancy hormones.

You know, every... Everything

makes me cry these days.

You sure? Look, if you

need to talk, I'm here.

Yeah, yeah. It's just one

of those days. I'll be fine.

Hi, can I help you?

I'd like to

see Ms. Carrington, Please.

Do you have an appointment

with her?

No, I don't, but it's important.

It's about Eliza.

Eliza Scablan.

Eliza!

Yeah, she's on maternity leave,

[Aiden]

So I can't call you Katie?

Not even when it's

just the two of us?

Not even then.

In that case.

I guess I'll drive.

[Gabi] Uh, Ms. Carrington!

- Hi.

- Hi. Sorry.

I'm, I'm Gabi, Eliza stepsister.

Wait, what's this all about?

Well, I've been

trying to reach Eliza,

but she's not answering

her phone or at her house.

I was hoping maybe

you've heard from her.

See, I told you. I had a

feeling something wasn't right.

[Gabi]

I've talked to the police.

Have you noticed anything

strange with Eliza lately?

Well,

Look, Kate, we really

gotta get to this meeting.

Look, I'm sorry. We

really do have to go,

but I'm free after six

if you wanna talk then.

I appreciate it,

Ms. Carrington.

Oh, please call me Kate.

And here. Take my card.

We can meet over at Hal

Brew. It's not far from here.

Sounds good.

- [lounge music]

- [distant police sirens]

[Kate]

And I spoke with the detective.

They're searching Eliza's office

tomorrow and her house too.

Did Eliza ever mention anything

to you about the baby's father?

She said it was

just a casual fling

with someone she met in Europe.

The guy wasn't a part of

her life.

Casual fling? Uh...

She said it was an on-and-

off-again relationship.

She referred to him by

a nickname; Blue.

"Blue"?

I've never heard her

mention that before.

But she also didn't speak too

much about her personal life

at work.

You know and that's not true

about the fling in Europe

either. She came to

visit me in Paris.

There was, there was no fling.

Okay that's strange because

Eliza never even mentioned she

had siblings or that she was

visiting Europe to see you.

She said she was on a solo

backpacking trip for two weeks.

Two weeks?

I'm so happy you're in Paris.

I can't wait to show

you all the things.

Are you sure you can only

stay for one week?

[sighs] I know.

I've gotta get back to work.

Projects don't

manage themselves.

She only came to see me in

Paris for one week.

Where is she the other week?

[Kate] I'm so sorry I have to

cut this short tonight.

I'm meeting my husband

and a client for drinks.

Please keep me posted if

you hear from Eliza.

I will.

And thank you for everything.

- Have a good night.

- You too.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

[door latches]

[Man's voice]

Gotta be something...

[tense music]

Jared?

What the hell are you doing?

I mean, you called me earlier.

What are you doing with a knife?

I heard someone in here.

You could have

just called me back.

You didn't have to break

into Eliza's house.

No, I didn't break in.

I still have a key.

Look, after I got your message,

I tried calling Liza

over and over again.

I got worried. So

I came over to look

for a clue as to where she went.

Look, you're gonna need

to gimme that key back.

[Jared] So you still haven't

heard anything from her?

No. [Sighs]

[Jared] I didn't even know

you guys were talking again.

I mean, I know Eliza

was pretty pissed about

that whole loan

thing, but I told her

that she should sit down and

you guys should talk about it.

[Gabi] Yeah, I mean, we

both overreacted.

She actually called me

when you two split up.

Said that the time apart

was enough time

so she could reflect on things.

[Jared] You mean after she broke

up with me out of nowhere?

What? She gets that fancy job

and all of a sudden

she's too good for me?

Next thing I know,

she's pregnant

with somebody else's baby.

And they had to

have been together

while we were still dating.

Jared, you don't know that.

Don't you think the

timing's a little strange?

Don't you think?

Look, when was the

last time you saw Eliza?

I don't know, like

a month or two ago.

Did she ask to see you?

No, I just ran into

her at the grocery store.

That's how I found

out she was pregnant.

Do you know the

guy she was seeing?

No.

You sure about that?

Yes. Gabi, just let me help.

Despite everything that

happened between me

and Eliza, I still love her.

And you called me, so you

must want my help too.

[phone ringing]

It's the Detective.

[breathes heavily] Hello.

[Jennings] Ms. Richards,

it's Detective Jennings.

We've located Eliza.

You found her? Where is she?

I'm sorry to have to deliver

news like this over the phone,

but a jogger discovered

her body in a wooded area

outside of Atlanta.

And unfortunately

that's not all;

Her baby is missing.

[eerie music]

[church bell tolling]

It's just unimaginable.

She's gone!

And they still have no leads

on her baby!

Come here.

[sentimental music]

Kate.

[sentimental music continues]

[Marina]

Kate, I am so sorry.

It's so hard to believe it.

[tense music]

Hey, Gabi, I've been

looking everywhere for you.

Something isn't right. Okay.

There's... There's

gotta be something

that we're missing. I

don't know. There's...

[Jared] Hey Gabi, you just

lost your sister.

You just need to take some

time to process all this.

"Time"!

Look, I don't have time.

Her body was dumped

in the woods and,

and her baby is

nowhere to be found!

And there was a note

on my car. Okay.

Somebody clearly knows I'm

here and they want me gone.

Do you not get that?

You don't get it? Okay.

You just don't understand.

Gabi, Gabi, Gabi,

Gabi. Hey. Hey.

I do get it.

Okay.

Baby!

You can't keep doing this.

You can't keep running yourself

into the ground like this.

I can't just sit around.

I have to find her baby.

- I know, I know, I know, I know.

- [sobbing]

I know. I got you.

[water trickling]

[grim music]

[Eliza] Mm. Okay.

No more mushy stuff.

Do you have any more of those

macaroons from earlier?

- [Gabi] They're in the kitchen.

- Amazing. [Laughing]

[phone buzzing]

[phone clicking]

[pensive music]

- What are you doing?

- [gasps]

Sorry, your phone was

just blowing up.

- So you just looked at it?

- I didn't mean to intrude.

[suspenseful music]

[Kate]

Gabi, how are you holding up?

God, I thought I could

keep it together,

but today just came

crashing down on me.

[sighs] I've gotta be strong

for Eliza and her baby.

Gabi, I'm actually looking for

a new personal assistant.

Might be a great way for you

to make some money

while you're here.

Could take your mind off

things, help you out.

You want me to work for you?

That's right.

Yeah, sure. That sounds great.

Why don't you come by

the office on Monday

if you're feeling up to it.

- Perfect.

- Okay.

[tense music]

[Gabi]

I went to the police.

Have you noticed anything

strange with Eliza lately?

[Kate] Well...

Kate, we, um... We really

gotta get to this meeting.

[tense music]

I didn't know they were married.

[Brent] You came to me for help,

remember?

You're lucky

I helped you at all.

I delivered on my end.

And yet here we are.

[tense music]

- Thanks.

- Have a great day.

[phone ringing]

Detective Jennings!

[Jennings]

Gabi, I got your messages.

We're looking at every aspect

of this case, I assure you.

But there are still no leads?

I understand your frustration,

but we are doing

everything we can.

Well, every day that passes,

that baby is still out there!

Gabi. We are on your side.

You've checked every hospital;

Even outside of Atlanta?

- [Jennings] Yes.

- Well, there must be

a record of the birth,

and and what about the note

on my windshield?

We've scoured the entire area

and we have forensics

on the note.

I know this is difficult.

We'll be in touch the

moment we know anything.

[eerie music]

[eerie music continues]

So you're Kate's new assistant?

Uh, yeah.

- [phone ringing]

- Oh, excuse me a sec.

[Gabi] Who is this guy? Look a

politician?

No he's not.

Just... please.

I... I really don't wanna

talk about him right now.

He's not exactly

thrilled about this.

Well, he's a jerk then.

I was so sure he was

gonna be happy about it.

All he kept saying was

that he wanted a family

and I gave him that.

And now he... He's mad.

[Aiden] Sorry about that. So

you accepted the job?

- I did.

- Welcome aboard.

Thanks.

[Kate] Now my calendar can be a

bit of a mess

along with my inbox,

but you can always

ask Amy at the

front desk to help

you coordinate.

I do have a few

projects coming up

that I'm gonna need

some help with.

Investor presentations, travel

arrangements for conferences,

and our biannual

employee retreat.

[pensive music]

[Marina] Hey, I'm Marina. We met

briefly at Eliza's service.

Yeah, I remember.

How are you settling in here?

Getting the hang of it, I think.

I'd be happy to show you around,

answer any questions

you might have.

Morning.

[Aiden] Huh. Yeah, tomorrow

works. Go ahead and schedule it.

What does he do here, again?

Aiden's our head of operations.

He's always juggling

a million things.

He's a little intense,

but he's not so bad

once you get to know him.

Anyway,

I was thinking maybe we

could grab lunch today?

I'd like that.

[smooth music]

[Gabi] So you've been with

the company that long?

-Mmm-hmm.

-That's crazy.

So what exactly did

Eliza do for the company?

She was a project manager.

She always had a lot on her

plate. [Chuckles]

That makes sense.

She said she never

had any free time.

Did she, um, work closely with

anyone in particular?

Usually with Aiden, but

Eliza mostly kept to herself.

It seemed like she was going

through some personal stuff.

- Like what?

- [Marina] I'm not sure. Um,

maybe it was related to

the pregnancy, but even

before that, she just seemed

little on-edge and sad.

Did you talk to her about it?

No, Eliza wasn't really the

type to open up easily.

At least not at work.

I did try, but she

just brushed it off.

But you could tell something

was weighing on her.

[pensive music]

[tense music]

[Gabi] It takes two people

to make a baby.

He has a responsibility here.

It wasn't supposed

to be like this.

I love him.

He said he loved me.

[grim music]

[Gabi]

Hey Aiden, you got a minute?

Sure. What can I help you with?

Um, Kate asked me to go

through the project

files to get up to speed,

and well...

There's one of

the notes that are a bit vague.

It listed you as the

owner of Project Radiance.

And what do you mean by "vague"?

Well, the project

wrap up is missing.

There's no final

notes or conclusions.

- Yeah, that's strange.

- [mouse clicking]

Look, I don't mean to overstep,

but I did notice that the

date on the project was right

before Eliza's maternity leave.

Is that unusual for her to

miss something like this?

Yes. It's very unusual.

Now if you excuse me, I have

to figure this file out.

Sure.

And thank you.

[Kate] Thank you for all

your hard work today.

I hope you have a good night.

All things considered.

Me too.

I just wish there was

something I could do.

Have you ever thought about

hiring a private investigator?

I don't really have

the money for that.

Oh, I'd be happy to

cover it for you.

Maybe you can use

somebody one time

for business reasons. I'll

get a name for you.

- I would really appreciate it.

- Yeah.

[Gabi] Thank you.

- Have a good night.

- You too. Gabi.

[tense music]

[Jared] Gabi!

Gabi I texted you like a million

times. Why are you ignoring me?

Look, I just wanna be

alone right now. Okay.

Yeah. Classic Gabi;

Always pushing people away.

And what the hell

does that mean?

Why else do you think

you and Eliza haven't

talked for so many years?

Because she was the one...

[Jared] No, it's because you

don't know how to communicate!

It's a two-way street! Yeah,

Eliza kept her distance,

but I didn't see you trying

to make an effort either.

[sighs] Okay well you don't know

what you're talking about.

Gabi, you're right.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I... I just wanna help.

It's fine. Okay. I

am just... I'm exhausted.

I just wanna get the

mail and go inside. Okay?

Can we just talk

tomorrow please?

Yeah. Can you just tell

me what have you been up to?

Like what's keeping you so busy?

Look I... I took a job at

Eliza's work,

look, just...

to look into things,

- Gabi, that's crazy!

- [Gabi] Why?

Okay. Look, the the

police aren't finding anything

and I think this Aiden

guy is up to something.

Let the police do the

investigation.

You don't get it.

If this Aiden guy is involved

and he finds out that

you are looking around,

he could come after you next.

Oh, look! Just,

what am I supposed to

uh do; Just

sit around?

[car revving]

- Look what you made me do!

- Go! Look out!

- [Gabi screaming]

- [body crumples]

- [Gabi panting]

- [car peels off]

[Gabi] Jared!

Jared! Jared!

Jared, are you okay?

- Help! Somebody!

- [intense music]

Jared! Jared?

[suspenseful music]

[Jennings] Gabi? Gabi?

Do you have someone

you can call? A friend

or a family member you

can be with right now?

No, not really.

He saved me.

He...

The car was...

It was coming right at me.

[Jennings] What happened here

was not your fault.

You're not to blame and

we're gonna find who did this.

- [Abi panting]

- [police radio chatter]

[Kate on car phone]

Hey, what was the name of

that private investigator

we used last year?

Why do you need a P.I.?

To help Gabi to hopefully

help find Eliza's baby?

Kate, you really should

let the police handle this.

Bringing in a P.I. could mess

up their investigation.

Well, it seems like the

police are dragging their feet

and a baby is missing

for God's sake!

I'll see if I can

dig up his number.

You'll "see", Aiden?

Seriously? You know

what, I have to go.

What's wrong honey?

[Kate] I wanna

hire a private investigator

to help look into things and

Aiden is acting like

it's the worst idea ever.

My work buddy used someone

before. And um,

different issue, but,

apparently the guy has

experience in a lot of areas.

I could reach out to him

tomorrow if you're interested.

Oh, yes. That would be

great. Thank you, honey.

[suspenseful music]

- [car roaring off]

- [Gabi breathing heavily]

[Gabi sighing]

[pensive music]

[distant police sirens]

Excuse me, sir. Have

you seen this girl?

Sorry, I can't say that I have.

Well, how long have

you worked here?

[chuckling] About four years.

And you...

You don't recognize her?

Her name's Eliza Scablan.

[Busboy] Positive. Sorry.

Excuse me, sir.

[heavy breathing]

Hey, hey. Do you know this girl?

- No.

- Why did you run away from me?

It's my break. I

came out to smoke.

Why are you lying to me?

Look, please, I just

need your help, okay?

This girl is my sister. This

is Eliza. She was k*lled.

Wait, what?

Yeah, someone k*lled her

and then stole her baby!

I can't get mixed up

and stuff like that.

Look, I'm not

suggesting that you do.

I just... I need to know

if you saw her at the bar

and who she was with.

Yeah. Yeah, I did see her.

But that was like a year ago.

Okay. Well, anything

specific you remember?

Yeah.

You sure I can't get

you a drink while you wait?

Oh, you definitely need a

drink. I know just the thing.

I served her a few shots and,

around closing time,

I noticed that

she was still there.

Hey, can I call a car

to come get you?

- No, I... [grunts]

- Whoa, whoa. Take it easy there.

I love him and..

I'm here... alone.

- [sobbing]

- Hey, I'll get you home safe.

[door squeaking]

- [clattering]

- [door shutting]

This guy that stood you

up tonight; He's an idiot.

I agree, [chuckles]

but unfortunately I fell in

love with him.

You know you should be with

someone who treats you right.

He does. He does treat

me right.

It's complicated.

- [Marcus] Mm.

- With work and everything.

So you work with him?

Something like that.

Did she tell you his name?

No. I... She might've said

it. I... I don't remember.

But... he did show up at

her place that night.

I managed to dig up a couple

aspirin in the kitchen.

[distant car door shuts]

Oh my God. It's him.

[knocking]

[sighing]

You, you gotta go. He,

he can't see you here.

Hurry, leave. Leave

out the back door.

[fists banging on door]

[door shuts]

Did you see what he looks like?

[Marcus] I escaped out the back

door before I could see him.

Uh, I'm sorry. Whenever you came

in earlier asking about her,

I panicked. I try my best

to stay out of trouble.

[suspenseful music]

- [gloomy music]

- [Gabi panting]

[Gabi breathing heavily]

[Gabi panting]

[gloomy music]

[pensive music]

Hey, can I ask you something?

Sure. What's up?

What's the company

dating policy here?

- Why do you like someone?

- Oh, no, not me.

I, uh... I just know that Kate

and Aiden used to be married,

so I was just curious if

that's a common thing or not.

Um, no, but Kate and

Aiden were married

before they built the company.

They... They also don't

have a policy against it.

Let's just say

that I don't think Aiden has an

issue with dating anyone here.

- What do you mean by that?

- Why don't we meet up

for drinks later and we can

talk more about it then, okay?

[Gabi] Sounds good.

[phone clicks and rings]

[hospital employee] Intensive

care visitor desk.

Hey. Yes. I was

checking on Jared Lange.

[hospital employee] Yes. He's

still in critical condition.

Oh, I see.

So there's no change in his

current condition?

[hospital employee] No, there

hasn't been in the last 12 hrs.

Okay. Thank you for

the information.

[phone clicks]

[Aiden] Kate. I think you're

too vested and you need

to step back.

[Kate] Jake's hiring the P.I.

Look, Kate, it's not

that I don't want to help,

like interfering with a police

investigation could backfire.

[Kate]

Let's just drop it. Okay.

Look, I'm doing

what I need to do.

Okay, fine. Fine by me.

How's the presentation

coming along?

We're behind. Need to

work late to catch up.

[Kate]

Look, I can stay tonight,

but I have that client

dinner tomorrow.

This is a multimillion dollar

account; I can't cancel!

[Aiden] Yeah, no. Nothing's

changed, right?

[knocking]

I...

don't mean to interrupt,

but I couldn't help overhear

you guys need some

help tomorrow night?

Well, I'm happy to

stay and, and pitch in.

That's very kind of you Gabi,

but that's actually beyond

the scope of your role here.

Oh no, look, I don't

mind, honestly.

[Aiden sighs] Okay, great.

Um, If you're willing,

we can use the extra hand.

Thank you, Gabi.

Of course. Just let me

know what I need to do.

Okay.

- [smooth music]

- [women giggling]

At the Christmas party? No less.

Like no one was gonna notice

that the receptionist

and the mail room guy

- disappeared the back room.

- [both giggling]

Oh my God.

Mm. You were gonna

tell me something about Aiden.

Oh, right. I... I really

shouldn't gossip.

[Gabi] Come on you just told me

the whole Christmas party tale.

Good point. It's just, this

is a bit more sensitive.

- Why?

- It's about Eliza.

You have to tell me.

I... I think Aiden had

a thing for Eliza.

- What do you mean?

- He just paid a lot

of special attention to her.

A lot of late nights,

if you know what I mean.

So you think Aiden and Eliza

were sleeping with each other?

No, I don't know if

anything actually happened.

I'll just say that

Eliza was his favorite.

It was interesting for a guy

who was doesn't play favorites.

Mm, and what about when

she got pregnant?

She seemed to be struggling

during that time

and Aiden let a

lot of things slip.

He just made mistakes. No

one else at Bounti-Well

could get away with that.

- Hmm.

- [Marina groans]

I... I probably shouldn't

have said any of that.

Wine always gets me in trouble.

Just take it away.

It's fine.

Look, I'm glad you did.

Okay, look.

Hey, do you know why

Kate and Aiden split up?

[suspenseful music]

[Marina]

It was messy.

What happened?

You did not hear this from

me. Are you ready for this?

Aiden had a gambling addiction.

- Really?

- Yes.

He's recovered now though.

But it did break them apart.

Nearly tanked the business too.

Huh.

[Kate] I hope it's okay. But my

husband called in a favor

to a P.I. colleague we used

before

just to check into things.

He'll be discreet and stay

outta the police's way,

but maybe he can get some

leads that they can't.

Thank you so much. I

really appreciate it.

God, every day that passes,

that poor baby's

still out there.

I know.

Um... [clears throat]

You still need help planning

the company retreat?

Oh yes. I could really use

your assistance with planning,

but I also don't wanna put

too much on your plate.

No, you're not. Should I

look up places to host it?

That's not necessary.

We actually own a vacation

property in the mountains.

- You and your husband?

- No. Aiden and I do.

We bought it years ago

when we were still married.

Now we just use it as a

real estate investment

and a place to

host the retreats.

I see.

[Kate] Here is some

information to get you started.

I think it's a good time.

You know, might be a way

to boost morale up around

here after everything.

- Of course.

- Yeah. Oh,

and thank you for staying

late tonight to help Aiden

with the presentation.

It's no problem.

[Kate sighing]

[grim music]

Blue.

Eliza, calm down. Just

tell me what's going on.

No, he canceled on me.

We were supposed to have

this romantic weekend at his

house in the Blue

Ridge Mountains.

Just the two of us.

He promised!

You've gotta

give up on this guy, okay?

It's just one excuse after

another.

I can't just give up.

No, I'm having his

baby, Gabi. I love him.

Well, have you even told

him you're pregnant?

No.

But I'm not showing

yet. I have time.

Eliza! You have to tell him

you're pregnant!

You don't understand. Gabi.

- [Jake knocking] Gabi?

- Oh, hey Jake.

I would ask if

you're okay, but

the answer seems obvious

with everything going on.

What brings you into the office?

I came by to take Kate to lunch.

Kate told me he found

a private investigator.

Yeah. Someone my company

used before. This guy Bill.

Retired cop. Loads

of experience.

Thank you. I really

appreciate it.

Mm.

[Kate]

Well, you know my style.

- [Aiden] So back to the yellow?

- [Kate giggles]

[Aiden] You wore that because

you know, it's

- my favorite color.

- [both giggle]

- I mean, you know.

- Hey honey.

- You ready to go?

- [Jake] Yeah.

[pensive music]

Man. Eliza really

had her hands full

with these presentations.

Yeah. Well a good project

manager is hard to find.

I mean, she handled

everything so smoothly.

Always knew how to

see the big picture.

Yeah. She always

said how hard it was

to communicate on

projects this big

to get everyone

on the same page.

Yeah. It's... It's the

nature of the business.

We, uh, we all have our

challenges around here.

Like what, if you

don't mind me asking?

You know, just the

usual office dynamics,

deadlines, um,

anyway, uh...

I have plans this

evening. I need to get going.

What are you up to?

Sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

You gonna be okay closing

up here by yourself tonight?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Okay.

[door thumps]

[tense music]

Hello?

[dramatic music]

[Gabi]

Excuse me! Marina?

Oh, I didn't know you were

gonna be working this late.

Oh, Gabi. I... I came back. I

forgot something in my office.

Is something wrong?

Oh my God. Last night

I should have told you!

Told me what?

It's about Eliza.

What about Eliza?

I just wish the

last time I saw her,

I hadn't done what I did.

I... I tried to sabotage Eliza.

I made it look like she

made this huge mistake

and deleted the entire project

conclusion she put together.

Project Radiance?

I saw it. Why did you do it?

I thought she was

gonna take my job

because Aiden, he,

he favored her like I

said, and I panicked.

Oh my God, I feel

so awful about this.

I've been carrying around

this guilt ever since I...

[sighs] I came back... T... Today

Aiden found out. I didn't

realize in the project software

that you could go back

to old versions and see

who may changes. Ugh.

It's fine. It's fine, okay?

[sighs] You must hate me.

Were Eliza

and Aiden Really that close?

He's just different with her.

But you don't think there

was anything more than that?

I'm... I'm really not sure.

It's... [sighs] There was only

one time I saw

Eliza in the wild.

Yes? "In the wild"?

What do you mean?

Well, she was at this bar, uh,

Blue-something, and...

Blue Slate Bar?

Yeah, that's it. I was

there with a friend

and I saw her flirting

with the bartender.

Whoever it was,

he left with her.

I overheard one of

the waiters teasing that

that was his new girlfriend.

I'm not mad at you. Okay?

Thank you for telling me.

I gotta go.

[grim music]

[Hostess] Blue Slate Bar.

Can I help you?

Yes. I'm trying to reach Marcus.

Is he working tonight?

[Hostess] Marcus?

He doesn't work here anymore.

Oh.

[Hostess] Yeah.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Okay thanks.

- [phone clicks]

- [suspenseful music]

[bottles clinking]

[Marcus]

Gabi? What are you doing here?

[Gabi]

I found your address online.

You're gonna start telling

me the truth right now.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

You were dating Eliza.

Why didn't you tell me?

- Let's talk inside.

- What? Ugh.

- I just...

- I said inside.

Look Marcus, why

did you lie to me?

You said you only

saw Eliza that one night,

but you kept seeing

her, didn't you?

I saw her one other time.

She came to the bar to thank

me for taking care of her.

That's it. We got some beers.

She mainly kept talking about

a guy that she was seeing

and he seemed like trouble that

I didn't want to be involved in.

He was so crazy.

He installed some

security cameras in her home.

Wait, what?

This guy has access to

security cameras in her house?

Why didn't you tell

me this before?

[Marcus]

Because I don't know you.

Eliza never told me that

she had any siblings.

For all I know you could

be working for that guy.

[Gabi scoffs]

God, like, this is insane.

Look, what else are

you not telling me?

She said that he kept promising

that they would be together,

but there was complications.

Something about

another relationship.

Wait, "another relationship"?

So back to the yellow.

With who? Kate?

[Marcus] She didn't say a name,

but I... Maybe.

They had to keep the

relationship secret for some

reason. He wanted to run away

with her,

but he was having

financial problems.

What kind of financial problems?

I don't know. Maybe

something with the business.

Maybe gambling. But

she didn't really say.

Aiden had a gambling addiction.

Wait, so you're telling me

that she was seeing

this guy in secret

who had financial issues?

Was she pregnant

when you met her?

No.

I called the bar

where you work today

and they said that you quit.

Why?

Look, I want to

stay out of trouble.

Okay, and and the owners, they

got involved in some stuff.

What do you mean "stuff"?

Let's just say

they don't make all

of their money selling drinks.

I've made some

mistakes in the past

and I cannot afford another

run-in with the law,

but they are mixed up

with some shady people

who do not make their

money in an honest way.

What? Like... Like, drugs?

Worse.

Remember a year ago

whenever there was

news stories about

babies being stolen in Atlanta?

No, I was in Paris.

Well, there was

a group of people

and they were kidnapping babies

and then they were selling

them to rich couples

who thought it was

a legit adoption.

Ugh.

Okay, so you're

saying that the owners

of the bar was stealing babies?

[Marcus]

I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying that

I've heard enough rumors

that they're involved with

some people who might be.

You think that's what

happened to Eliza?

I don't know.

But you need to check out the

Crestview Adoption Center

and do not get

the cops involved.

Right? These people,

they move fast

and you will not

see them coming.

Look, I should go.

- Let me walk you to your car.

- I... I'll be fine. Thanks.

[door slamming]

[muffled screaming]

[Marcus] Hey, get away from her!

Did he hurt you?

- [Gabi] No. No.

- Stay here.

[intense music]

[Gabi panting]

- [Marcus] You okay?

- Yeah.

[Marcus] You sure?

I'm worried about you?

No, I'm fine.

Thank you.

[car rumbling]

[pensive music]

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

[Abigail] Oh, sorry. Have you

been waiting long out here?

Uh, no, I haven't.

- Do you have an appointment?

- I don't.

I was just hoping to get some

information about adoption.

- I got your name from a friend.

- What's a friend's name?

Jenna. Jenna Harris.

Have you adopted a child

before or replied to?

[Gabi]

I haven't. It's my first time.

[Abigail]

Well, uh, here's a brochure

to get you started.

[Gabi] Thanks.

Um, can I get an

application too?

I recommend familiarizing your

self with the process first.

It can be quite extensive.

I understand. I just

want an application

so I can get the process going.

[Abigail] You can download one

from our website.

Have a nice day.

[tense music]

[phone ringing]

- [male voice] Hey.

- Hey, it's Gabi.

You said to call if

I needed something.

[Marcus] Hey!

What's your plan?

Okay, look, if they're stealing

and selling babies, that

they're selling the babies

to the people in

those files, I have

to get into those files to

see what's really going on.

Okay. I'll take care of

the lock. You keep watch.

Okay, come on. Alright.

[tense music]

[lock rattling]

[lock clicking]

Hey. Hey.

- Hide!

- [dramatic music]

[man] There are others

breathing down our neck.

Too many people poking around.

Now Abigail, if you don't

move fast this whole thing

could blow up in our faces.

[tense music]

Quiet, quiet.

- [door softly closes]

- Come on let's go.

[intense music]

Who was that guy?

[Marcus]

I don't know but whoever it was

had an issue with

someone named Abigail.

[Gabi] Yeah that's the lady I

met earlier today. The owner!

Okay, let's get out of here.

[car fires up]

Well, I appreciate your time.

I'm glad everything's

going well.

- [phone clacking]

- [phone ringing]

- Hey.

- [Gabi] Hey.

Look, I've called everyone on

those adoption files.

Everyone seems normal.

What did you say?

I pretended I was

from the agency.

I was doing a routine check-in

to see how things were going.

Maybe they're not doing

anything criminal after all.

Maybe? But the best way

to run a criminal enterprise is

to look like you

are not a criminal.

Yeah, you're right.

Abigail.

I've got a new plan.

- What is it?

- [Gabi] The guy from last night

was upset and asked Abigail

to move fast on something

that would blow

up in their face.

I'm gonna follow her

after work today.

That's dangerous, Gabi.

Well you said not

to go to the cops.

That they would

make things worse.

This is what I have to do.

Alright, then I'm coming

with you. When do they close?

Four o'clock.

[phone clicks]

[Gabi] Hey, can you ask the P.I.

to look into Crestview Adoptions.

Sure. Let me send this

info over to Jake.

He's been speaking with the guy.

Do you think this place

might be involved?

Um, I don't know, but it's

worth checking out.

And how did you

come across them?

I'm just looking at all

the agencies in the area.

- It's a smart idea.

- Uh, do you still need help

planning the retreat?

[Kate] Honestly, Gabi, if you

need to lay low for a little

while with everything else

you have going on,

this retreat does not

need to be your priority.

No, no, no, no. I take

my job very seriously.

I mean, obviously figuring

out what happened to Eliza,

and where her baby is,

is my first priority.

But the job's been a nice

distraction.

Good, well then if the retreat

planning is helping,

to keep your mind off of things,

then we'll tackle it together.

Great. Uh, when do you want

me to start setting up?

[Kate] Tomorrow evening would

be great. I'll be there.

And I also convinced my

husband to help.

And Aiden too?

[Kate] No, he actually won't be

able to join until the weekend.

Okay, perfect. All right.

[pensive music]

[Gabi] I did some more research

on Abigail and the agency

and I couldn't find

anything suspicious.

It's possible that

she doesn't know

what's really going on.

How? She's the owner.

The public facing owner.

The real players are

gonna be silent partners.

Like that guy from last night.

He could be one of them.

I don't know. I find

it hard to believe

that Abigail wouldn't

know anything.

[Marcus] You would be surprised

what these people can hide.

They keep their hands clean

and their names out of it.

You really know a lot

about being a criminal.

I told you that I have a past.

It's in the past.

[door slams]

- [car door closes]

- [car starts]

- [car starts]

- [suspenseful music]

[car rumbling]

[suspenseful music continues]

[birds chirping]

I can't see anything.

- [baby crying]

- [gasps]

Do you hear that?

I gotta call the detective.

[Gabi panting]

- [Marcus] Gabi.

- [phone ringing]

We don't know. Don't do that.

- [Jennings] Detective Jennings.

- Detective Jennings, it's Gabi.

- [Jennings] Yes, Gabi?

- I think we found Eliza's baby.

[Jennings]

Okay, keep your phone on

and I'll ping it

for your location.

Dammit!

- [door shuts]

- [Gabi gasps]

[Abigail] You! You came in

yesterday!

What are you doing here?

You need to leave now!

Where is the baby?

Look, I'm trying

to do the right thing here.

But you two, you ruined things.

I'm not leaving until you

tell me where that baby is!

I didn't know. I

only just found out.

I suspected something was...

I'm trying to fix this,

but he'll be here any minute!

Hey, wait! Stop! Stop!

- [baby crying]

- [Gabi gasping

[baby continues crying]

Come here.

[Gabi sobbing]

- I got you.

- We need to get out of here.

[baby cooing]

Come on.

[Gabi panting]

[banging on door]

It is locked!

- [tense music]

- [Gabi gasps]

You!

- [men grunting]

- [dramatic music]

Gabi, run!

[fists thudding]

[Gabi panting]

- [men grunting]

- [elbow thuds]

- [Marcus yelling]

- [fist thuds]

- [Abigail] I didn't know! Stop!

- [police siren]

[Officer] Don't move! Keep your

hands where I can see them.

I didn't know! I swear!

- [Marcus] Gabi! Oh!

- [Officer] Hands up!

[Marcus] Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

- [sirens approach]

- [Gabi sobs]

[police radio chatter]

[bright music]

[Jennings]

We'll conduct a DNA test

to confirm if the

baby is Eliza's.

Unfortunately, the

lab is backed up,

but I put in a rush request.

I'd say 24 to 48 hours at best.

I promise we'll be

in touch the moment

we have any information.

Thanks.

[engine starts]

[Marcus]

So what are you gonna do now?

Look, if that is Eliza's baby,

then someone must

have sold it to them.

It's obvious. Aiden's

not the father,

but he could have been involved

in the sale of the baby

to the adoption agency.

Well I'll at a work retreat

with them this weekend.

And what? Just get

him to confess?

Yeah.

Look, I have to head out

of town tonight or else

I'd be there with you.

But my dad is in Florida

and he is having surgery

and I... I have to be there with

him, but I don't wanna leave.

- You.

- It'll be fine. It'll be fine.

You've done enough.

Go be with your dad.

I got this.

Aiden?

Hmm?

Oh, um, do you know

where Aiden is?

Oh, he didn't tell you?

He's already left for

the mountains.

Oh? He wasn't supposed to go

until tomorrow.

I don't know.

Hmm.

[car rumbling]

[Kate] Hey, I just wanted to

give you a heads up.

Jake is actually going to be

[muffled] early.

Uh Kate, you're breaking up.

Can you hear me?

[Kate voice muffled]

Something about

getting there early?

I can't really hear you.

- Hello?

- [gloomy music]

[car phone beeps]

[tense music]

[insects chirping]

[pensive music]

[suspenseful music]

- [lock beeps]

- [door clicking]

[tense music]

[phone beeping]

[eerie music]

[switch flicking]

- [door clicking]

- [door creaking]

[phone beeps]

[door clatters shut]

[Gabi] Oh,

[Jake] Hey, Gabi.

You're here early.

[Gabi] Hey, Jake.

Uh, yeah, I came

to set things up.

Kate texted me and said that

Aiden should be here too.

She told me he was

coming up tomorrow.

I know, that's

what I thought too.

[Jake] I heard about the

ordeal yesterday.

If it turns out to be

Eliza's baby, what then?

Well, I, I don't

think I'm really

equipped to raise a baby.

I mean, she is my niece, but

obviously I

want the best for her, and...

I didn't mean to upset you.

[Gabi sighing]

I just wanna get to

the bottom of this.

What do you mean?

They caught the people

that did this, right?

[Gabi] Yeah, but I don't think

that was a random attack.

Somebody sold them the baby.

Look, I think the father of

the child wanted Eliza gone.

Needed the money.

That is a big accusation.

Hey, that, that

P.I. that you hired,

did he ever find anything?

Oh, uh, Tim? He... He's been

outta town for a little bit,

so he hasn't had much time

to look into everything yet.

"Tim"? I thought you

said his name was Bill.

No, no. I'm, I'm, I'm sure

I said, "Tim". Don't worry.

I'll make sure he's up

to speed with everything

that's happened.

All right? It's cold;

I'm gonna get some firewood.

You know what? Actually

I'd like his number.

I'd like to speak to him.

Can I have it now please?

[door clicks]

- [Aiden] Hello?

- [Jake] Aiden? Hi.

- [Gabi] Hi.

- Hey.

Jake.

Didn't expect to see you here.

I came to support Kate.

[tense music]

Hey Gabi. You mind helping me

grab some stuff out the car?

- Yeah.

- [Aiden] Thanks.

Glad you could make it.

Hey Gabi I just got some stuff

in the back. Grab it for me.

[dramatic music]

So glad you could come out.

Yeah, it's gonna

be a lot of fun.

It's gonna be a great

weekend. You know?

[Gabi] It was you!

Wasn't it?

- Excuse me.

- You k*lled Eliza!

- What?

- You started gambling

again and you needed the money!

Hey Gabi, what are

you talking about?

[Gabi] You had a connection to

the owners at the Blue Slate Bar

and you found out about

the adoption agency.

You made a deal to

sell Eliza's baby

and that's why you k*lled her.

Hey, Gabi, I don't

understand. Like...

Explain that then.

Huh? What is that? A rope

and a knife. What's that for?

For me?

It's for the team

building exercise.

We're doing a survival

simulation in the woods

this weekend.

We do it every year.

Stay away from... Jake!

[Aiden]

Gabi, just calm down.

[Gabi] Jake, call the police!

[Aiden] No!

You're overreacting.

- Gabi, wait.

- [Gabi] Jake!

[Aiden] Gabi, come on! Gabi!

Jake! Jake, it was Aiden.

You have to call the cops!

- [door closes]

- [Gabi panting]

[Aiden] Gabi, this is a huge

misunderstanding!

Look, I don't know what

you're talking about!

I've never been to The Blue

Slate Bar! Ask Jake!

- Wait.

- [Aiden] He goes there

all the time.

[grim music]

There was no private

investigator, was there?

You never hired anyone. You've

been lying this entire time!

[Aiden] Gabi, what are

you talking about?

Oh my God. This whole time I

thought it was Aiden,

but it was you.

You were the one meeting

her at The Blue Slate Bar.

You were having the affair with

Eliza. You got her pregnant?

Didn't want Kate to find

out, so what, you k*lled her?

You've been pretending

to be innocent

this entire time,

and you just are...

- [Aiden] Son of a b...

- [g*nsh*t]

Ah!

Oh my God. Aiden! Aiden!

Oh my God. Oh God.

Oh!

You! Come with me!

- Okay!

- [Gabi panting]

[Jake] Let's go move.

Okay.

[Gabi continues panting]

[tense music]

Can you just tell me

the truth? Please.

Look, if you're gonna

k*ll me, you just...

At least tell me what happened.

I loved her. Ever

since I first met you.

I knew you were special.

I'm falling for you too.

I have already met

with a divorce lawyer.

I will make this work. It's all

gonna work out for everyone.

- Oh yeah? Okay.

- [both chuckle]

Blue.

[Gabi] So you were promising to

leave your wife for her?

I got her pregnant. She

wanted to keep the baby.

I didn't. She threatened to

tell Kate. It was a nightmare!

Then what about the baby?

[Jake] I contacted an old

acquaintance... asked him

for help out of a bind.

[Gabi] Who? The, the, the guy

from the adoption agency?

Yes. He's the one

that k*lled her. Not me.

I made a bad business deal.

I had no choice.

[Gabi] So you had her k*lled

and then sold the baby?

What k... What kind of

monster are you?

- That's enough.

- What are you gonna do?

Take me out back and sh**t

me? Blame it on somebody else?

Move.

You are never gonna

get away with this.

- [Kate] Honey?

- [door shuts]

- [Gabi] Kate! Kate!

- Gabi?

What is happening? Jake?

He k*lled Eliza and then he,

then he sold the baby.

- What?

- She's lying!

Then why are you holding a g*n?

I have it recorded. Listen.

[Jake]

I got her pregnant.

She wanted to keep

it, but I... I didn't.

She threatened to tell

Kate. It was a nightmare!

I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so

sorry. Please. I can explain.

I could explain.

[Aiden grunting]

Oh my God. Aiden!

- [Aiden groaning]

- [Kate] What did you do?

[Jake] It was an accident!

He came after me!

You never loved me anyway.

It was always about him.

That's not true.

That's not true.

Please put the g*n down!

Can you blame me

for falling for someone else?

That's all you ever cared

about, right? Aiden?

You don't give a damn about

me! It's always been about him.

[Kate] We can talk this through.

We can!

[Jake] You pushed me away

the entire marriage! What

did you expect me to do?

Do you see?

It's all your fault!

If you would've

just loved me, none

of this would've ever happened.

- [vase clangs]

- [body crumples]

[Gabi panting]

- Go, go, go.

- [Kate] Aiden!

Oh my God. Are you

okay? Oh, don't move.

I'm gonna get you

some help. Okay?

[Aiden groaning]

Okay.

[eerie music]

[knocking]

- [Gabi] Detective!

- Good morning, Gabi.

I have some good news for you.

Even better than Jake

getting arrested?

[Jennings]

The DNA test results came back.

[sentimental music]

[Gabi] Wait. Are you serious?

That's amazing news.

Thank you so much

for letting me know.

That was the hospital.

They said that Jared

came out of his coma.

- That's amazing.

- [Gabi chuckling] I Know.

- Should we go in?

- Yeah.

[Aiden]

Hey! Hey, what's going on?

[Marcus] Hey, good to see you.

[Aiden] My man!

Good to see you again.

Waited all day at

the bakery just

to get Kate's favorite cake.

Hey Marcus, you

wanna help me out?

[Gabi]

There's the birthday lady!

[Kate] Hi! Aw!

[Gabi] And your beautiful new

daughter.

- [Kate] Yes!

- My niece.

[both giggling]

Hey, I just wanna thank you

for everything you're doing.

I know adopting her must be

hard, especially since Jake is...

[Kate] I'm just so glad that

something beautiful could come

out of such an awful situation.

Look, I don't know exactly

where my life is going,

but I do wanna be a part

of both of your lives.

- I got you a present.

- Oh?

[melancholy music]

[Gabi]

Eliza really loved lockets.

I know. If she was

here, she would

want me to get this to you.

Thank you, Gabi. It's

beautiful.

Come here. Thank you so much.

[Gabi] No. Hi, sweet angel!

Oh, she's so pretty.

- You look just like your mama!

- [Kate] Me? That's so good!

[Aiden] Oh? Hey hey! Oh.

[Kate] You like this?
