My daughter, Theresa, she was taken.
Now I know who did it,
but I can't prove that.
Previously on "Tell Me Your Secrets"...
Parker, your man, a serial killer.
Can't you tell me the truth, Karen?
I never saw her.
You ready to be Emma Hall
in witness protection?
I don't have to tell you to stay away
from young women.
You my true friend, Emma Hall.
I was a predator, but now I am well.
I need you to find someone for me.
Christopher Parker's dead.
Do you trust me?
We're gonna keep working on the memories that you can't recall.
- What's your name? - Theresa.
She was a girl I met, a friend...
You made a friend already?
Some girls were giving her a hard time...
I stepped in for her.
How?
I told them to leave her alone.
She...
She's 14.
Her name's Jess.
Emma?
So I guess you're trying to make things look nice
before you leave us.
I didn't get it... the job.
Oh, John.
I'm so sorry. It was so perfect for you.
You know so much about cars.
Yeah, I don't have the sales experience.
I mean, look at me...
going from frozen food to selling Chryslers?
Oh, you must've been bad in a past life.
That's why Jana keeps you out here on frozen.
Love is a virtuous mind that creates
only peace and happiness.
Love is a virtuous mind that creates
only peace and happiness.
She was lying on the ground,
and there was blood on her dress. There...
She'd been stabbed. There was a man in a hood.
He grabbed me. Look, I've got marks.
Yeah, that's a chigger bite.
If you go out and play in the bayou,
you're gonna get cut and scratched and bit.
- There's a lot of nature out there. - It's not a bite.
There's something in there.
You can't drink on the meds you're taking.
I needed something.
You wanna take a minute and talk about
why you trashed this place?
Does it matter?
Well, you think you saw a dead girl, so yeah.
It does matter.
I told you that one of the side effects
of the meds that you're on is hallucinations.
So if you drink while you're taking the meds,
you're gonna have very vivid hallucinations.
You saw a lot of blood.
It scared the hell out of you.
But in the end, all you saw was a bird...
- a pelican. - I saw her.
Pete, I saw her.
You and I both know that you get blackouts.
Of things that I don't remember, not of things that I do.
And we're still trying to piece together
the things that you don't remember.
You're in witness protection because of Parker.
He killed himself yesterday.
That would unhinge anyone.
So if I imagined it,
then she'll still be where she was, right?
At the... the group home in town?
What group home?
St. Jerome House.
She wasn't happy there,
she wanted to run away.
Emma, listen to me.
You can't go anywhere near a place like that ever again.
You can't make friends with vulnerable young girls.
You have a history... an unfair one...
but you have a history that no one can know about.
Do you understand?
I need to refill your meds.
"Stress is the most common cause
of an addictive behavior resurfacing.
Anniversaries
and key milestones
may also trigger relapses."
Feels like we're in a movie.
Oh, yeah? Which one?
Um, do you have any tea... something, uh, decaf?
We got chamomile.
Now I think about it, I guess it's like a lot of movies...
it's hard to narrow it down...
guess I'll just say "When Harry Met Sally."
You're not eating?
Ah, don't let that stop you.
Tea for two.
So, Mrs. Barlow, I'm still a little unclear
about how this would work in practice,
what... what you're looking for me to do.
When I came to you,
um, I was not thinking very clearly.
I'd had a very bad day.
I am sorry.
And I guess it might seem like an odd thing to ask for.
It's actually very simple.
I just need you to find her,
tell me where Karen Miller is.
I've done some research...
she's gone.
She has a new identity.
I couldn't find out who she's become.
I don't have those kinds of resources.
I'm not a cop.
Something has, uh, stayed with me
ever since you came to my office.
Do you remember talking about the gap...
the space between what your...
victims...
I accept that term.
Between what they thought was safety
and what was safety.
I appreciate that,
and I'm flattered that my words had impact.
But, uh, that was a different context
and I don't feel comfortable repackaging it.
But you repackaged it.
What I mean is, you found a way to change it up.
And now you "know better, you do better," right?
Bad for good.
I know that might be a little simplistic.
A little.
"He found the things his victims loved
and he used them as a way to get inside their lives."
That was the prosecutor's closing statement at your trial.
Now, I think you could just as easily
apply that technique to our situation.
Find the things Karen Miller loved.
Find the gap.
My number's on that cellphone.
And this is for anything you might need.
The credit card of executives.
It's a debit.
Oh.
I think you're the man for the job, John.
So I gotta go.
Can you, uh, pick this up?
On expenses?
Yeah.
Oh, my God, Rose, what happened?
Girl.
Hey, Emma, this is Rose,
her family's a big part of this town.
They practically rebuilt us after Katrina.
Hi.
And, Rose, the answer's still no.
Your mama wants your hair long and pretty
for the Festival of Saints.
You don't know my mother, right?
So you'll do it.
You don't know my work... it's quite a risk.
Don't turn her into no punk.
What kind of coffee you want?
I'll take a decaf.
Cream or no cream?
No cream.
You gonna make trouble for me?
I don't know yet.
Angela Miller?
Did your daughter help him?
_
Did your daughter help him?
Is it true you struggle with alcohol?
Are you still drinking?
_
You have deep indentations...
were you a difficult birth?
You get a lot of migraines?
When some bitch slams my head against the mirror.
Why'd you call her trash?
Does it matter?
Are you a friend of hers or something?
I've never seen you here before.
What do you want from me?
New look.
Something to go with my nose.
Sure I don't have to check with your mother first?
Do you have to check with Georgia to make sure
you're safe with scissors?
Why did you do it?
I didn't like what you called her.
I don't know whether that makes you scary or amazing.
We've got to get going right now.
Yeah.
We are so grateful you're able to do this, Mary.
Are you kidding? Of course.
We're all appreciative of your commitment.
We've have had a little luck...
Larissa Barbola, Connie's mother.
You know Larissa, right?
We're gonna go across to her now.
So you're gonna do a split screen?
We're actually heading straight to Larissa's place.
You're bumping me?
Christopher Parker admitted
to Connie's murder...
she's a confirmed victim.
Look, Larissa is great,
and all that matters is we're talking about
Parker and Miller again.
Will you get these people out of my house?
Yeah.
_
- Hey. - Hey.
You're a cop?
I'm gonna be a detective.
I'm just waiting for the opportunity to present itself.
Ah!
You okay?
Can I get a ride?
I'm out on the Longbank.
I think he dodged this bullet.
Because of the brutal murder of your daughter.
I'm sorry.
Look, I don't blame Larissa.
I mean, my God, I feel like crying every day, too.
But she is literally turn-up-and-cry mom,
whereas I don't... I don't cry on cue.
That's why they bumped me.
I mean, they all but said there's a ranking system.
You should have pushed them on that.
You acted like you were fine with it.
Because I can't look like an asshole.
I'm not saying you have to do a ceremony
or officially mourn... I know you're not there...
but maybe think about the vigil...
why don't you just make it something small,
personal, healing...
don't make it about anyone else.
You, me, and Dad go to Holy Trinity
and stand around a candle,
and say nice things to each other.
Let's just remember what this guy did.
He abducted women, he kept them in his van,
and he bashed in their faces with a claw hammer.
I don't want to remember.
Okay, I don't want my head full of that shit.
Have fun talking to the TV, Mom.
I'm gonna grab a little bit of the life that's hurrying by.
A St. J girl... Tina Monro...
gone off grid,
- Tina Monro, 15... - This isn't my car.
Hispanic, 5'6", dark-brown hair...
I got eyes on the River Road.
St. J is what?
Saint James?
St. Jerome.
It's a group home on the edge of town.
And a girl's missing from there?
Sometimes a kid disappears for a night.
Mostly they come back before breakfast.
"Mostly"?
What, some of the girls don't come back?
Shit.
That... That looks bad.
It's fine.
- It's just a sting. - No, that's infected.
You need to see someone. I can take you to a doctor.
Mmm-mmm. I don't need a doctor.
Okay, well, then I'll look at it myself.
- Ow! Ow! - Okay, okay. I... um...
- So you're from Seattle? - Mmm-hmm.
- Aah! - Do you miss it?
No, I don't.
I try to stay in the moment.
Ow!
Oh, God, just get it out! Ow! Ow!
Oh, God!
Whoa, what is that? A needle?
I got sober five years ago.
That's why I'm alive.
That's all I can say.
I'm, uh,
I'm breathing.
I'm still sober.
Thank you, Angela.
There's a lot of love and light around you.
Anyone else like to share?
Uh, hi. I'm John, and I'm an alcoholic.
- Hi, John. - Hello, John.
I'm five years sober now, too.
So jinx.
Don't know what I would do without those meetings.
Yeah.
Jinx.
I'm gonna sit down now.
Are you okay? Oh, my God!
- I'm okay. - Oh, my God, no.
I'm all right. This happens to me.
Are you all right?
I'm so sorry. Please go.
No, no, no. Uh, look, do you want some water,
or what can I do for y...?
I'm so embarrassed right now.
Um, could you hold my legs for me, please?
Oh. Uh...
Just so I can get the blood...
- No, no. - I haven't been drinking.
Hi, I'm John. I'm a fainter.
I'm a dentist... I get a lot of fainters.
You need to eat something.
Okay?
It wasn't the medication, it wasn't a hallucination.
It happened, Pete. This happened.
I... I remember the man...
I remember he grabbed my leg, and...
and then I felt this pain and now I know it was the needle.
The needle that I have right in front of me.
So if that was real, then Jess was real too.
Emma, I need you to take a breath, all right?
Now, I'm gonna come see you tomorrow and we're gonna work
- this whole thing out. - No, Pete, I need you to call the police now,
and I need you to have them go to St. Jerome
and check her room. Just check her room.
No. We're not calling the police, all right?
And we're not gonna talk to them about a girl
that you think is dead.
No, I don't think she's dead!
I know what I saw.
Jess is dead and there's a man out there
who knows that I saw it too,
so if you're not gonna deal with this, then I will.
You do anything and you're gonna get
a big red flag above your head, okay?
I'll look into it.
It's called the St. Jerome House.
It's on the edge of town, I don't know the address.
Okay. I'll call them.
Though I'm pretty sure
they're not gonna give information out to a stranger.
Do me a favor... take your pills,
go to bed, and just stay there.
So, I was thinking about my dad today.
And I remembered this thing he would do.
It's like he always thought
- I had a motive. - _
I remembered this one time I was probably six.
He went out to buy candy for my mom.
I don't know, maybe he was trying to get her into bed.
- Anyway, I went with him, - _
and he literally bought a stack of candy bars, like...
Pete, are you even listening?
Totally. Your dad, candy...
Baby, you've told me this story.
I can't tell you something twice?
Of course you can. You can tell me a million times.
All I'm saying is that I remember.
And it's more than twice.
Your dad, the ride home
where you were the best little girl in the world, hmm?
'Cause you wanted the candy, but your dad made you feel like
that was unnatural... like it was a bad thing, hmm?
You dad made you feel like you always had an ulterior motive,
and this makes you feel like you're not genuine.
But you still wanted that candy,
didn't you?
Yes, of course I wanted the candy,
because what child doesn't want the candy?
Hey.
You used to want to listen to me.
You used to pay me $100 an hour to listen to you.
Well, I'll leave the money on the bedside,
you mercenary shit.
Thank you.
- And now you're feeding me. - Hmm.
I feel comforted yet infantilized.
Hashtag secretly loving it.
It's a way to make an impression.
Uh, it's a meeting thing.
I really have a hard time speaking in public.
And actually,
I usually faint before talking,
and this time I put my audience first.
Show goes on.
And you go down?
Apparently so.
I feel ashamed.
I have a daughter.
I messed her up.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I, uh...
I have a daughter and I messed her up, too.
Excuse me. Could I have some water, please.
Of course.
I'm sure you're being hard on yourself.
Do you see her?
Thank you.
So, what's your daughter's name?
Theresa.
It's pretty.
Do you smoke?
I let my daughter drive me home.
There was a lot of ice on the road.
We hit a tree. Police came.
She's 14 and I'm trashed.
So right there and then I'm an unfit mother.
It was our last night together.
Hey, I was... I was so out of it
I forgot to get my daughter from summer camp.
And she got a ride home with a stranger.
Something happened. She never told me what.
But she told my wife,
and I have, uh, never seen her again.
What's her name?
Uh, your wife I mean.
Mary.
Uh, I didn't know you got ice in Texas.
No, it was Minnesota...
I was seeing this guy up there.
So my daughter went into foster care.
And, uh, it was supposed to be temporary...
she'd... she'd come back to me when she wanted.
But, um...
I guess she never wanted to.
So I'm a grieving mother
and a bad mother
and, um, I traded my alcohol for cigarettes,
but...
You are a good person, Angela.
You're sweet.
Mmm-mmm.
I raised a monster.
My daughter got into some trouble.
So whenever anybody dredges something up
or there's a significant date,
I get a, um, redecoration of my house
by the sanctimonious little shits in town.
So move.
You are a good person, Angela.
Emma, please, I need you!
He thinks I'm fixed.
He thinks he fixed me.
Pete likes to be the savior.
And if I tell him about you,
he's gonna wonder why I need you and what I tell you.
Are there things he doesn't want you to share with me?
You know, that's the crazy thing.
He has all my secrets...
all the things I told him...
but all that time it was about me,
never him.
And I thought that was love.
And what do you think it is now?
Power.
Over you?
I don't think he thinks of me at all.
He's there, in the house,
but he isn't present...
he doesn't see me.
So why do you stay, Lisa?
If you don't feel loved or seen?
For my daughter.
She's my miracle.
And he loves her, he makes her feel safe.
Girls without fathers are afraid of the world.
And what about girls with bad fathers?
He's not a bad father.
He's just not a good husband.
And what about girls with bad fathers?
He's not a bad father.
He's just not a good husband.
So who do you turn to,
when you get your nightmares?
Because you do still get them, don't you?
My daughter.
Want this back in there?
I hold her.
I feel her heartbeat.
Till it's just her and me...
and those memories are gone.
You brought the other parents?
I had to make this count.
This was just supposed to be us, something quiet.
Quiet's not gonna find your sister.
- Mary, hey. - Hi.
- Hi, Mary. - Hi.
- Thanks for coming, Mary. - Thank you.
- How are you? - I'm good.
You good?
Oh.
Nice to see you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Please, please be seated.
Thank you so much for coming.
Janice Dunne doesn't get married.
Martha Schulz can't kiss her daddy goodbye...
he's already gone from cancer.
Marissa Watkins doesn't get to be an Auntie.
Diane Lapsley doesn't finish her paper on genetics.
Laura Danone doesn't start her new job,
and Connie Barbola's not there when her grandfather dies.
I want to remember their names,
not just the name of the man who took them from us.
All these mothers, all these fathers behind me...
they felt something when they lost their daughters...
an instinct.
Trust it, listen to your gut.
Look for my daughter.
Remember a night seven years ago
and a gas station in Nevada
when she was in the same place at the same time
as the man who killed all these women.
What happened to her
when she drove away?
My daughter is out there.
Other people's daughters who may have been taken
by this man are out there too.
But we won't give up.
We remember you and we will find you.
_
Do you believe in an afterlife?
Because you finished your Milky Way
and you wonder where candy bars go?
I can be deep.
I look at the stars and I think, "Is that where we go?"
I believe in a soul...
a pure center.
Like the light in that star.
Which one, that one...
The other one.
- That little one? - The one next to it.
Which, that?
Not that one?
I believe you have to honor your soul,
process it out... so it has a path to travel,
not just lost in the dark.
Is that a yes?
You could've just said yes.
Will you burn me when I'm gone?
You're not going anywhere.
Stay with me.
No.
Here.
I don't want to be a question.
You're a puzzle.
You know it's love.
So your soul doesn't wander.
So you have a place up there, with the stars.
This is how I honor you.
You need a ride?
Come on, get in.
It's late. It's raining.
It's not safe for you to be out here
on the side of the road like this.
I prefer to walk.
You're one of those girls, aren't you?
From the group home.
What are you doing out here tonight?
Who are you, mister?
I'm just a friend of a friend.
Are you okay?
_
Do you know how disappointing it is
not to be able to trust you, Rose?
All we want is for you to look and do your best.
Daddy likes my hair.
Mom, don't.
- Until you can be trusted... - Please.
you cannot be trusted.
Don't lock me in, Mom.
Don't lock me in, please!
_
Tina, we've been looking all over for you.
- Mmm-hmm. - What are you playing at,
- young lady? - Go to hell.
More.
Actually, I don't think I can.
I got a cramp in my jaw.
Work it out, Adam.
This is... This is work, I gotta...
Gotta take it.
Hello?
Uh, Mrs. Barlow? This is John Tyler.
Did you find something, from her mother?
No, there's no relationship there.
No link back to Karen through her mother.
Then what do you have?
She was, uh, fostered.
Mrs. Barlow?
Where was the foster home?
In Minnesota.
It... It seems a very strong link.
John, this is good.
I'm really glad that I could be of help.
When can you leave for Minnesota?
No. Uh, we've had a misunderstanding.
I can't leave Texas.
I'd be breaching the terms of my parole.
And I worked very hard to get my early release,
so I would never jeopardize that.
I'm sorry. I... I don't make the rules.
You have nothing to worry about.
I have a lot of influential friends,
I'll square it up with your parole officer,
make him understand this.
- Or her? - Or her.
But you understand my point?
You need to get to Minnesota.
You're good at this.
You're helping me, John, and you're flourishing.
I'm so proud of you, Mom.
We got a call...
somebody saw the vigil.
There was another girl who was never found.
Just like Theresa.
You were right to not give up.
I thought you was Jessie.
You should be asleep.
I can't sleep.
Jessie had the sense to keep going.
She's gonna make a life for herself out there.
So, 'night.
You should go too, 'cause we got the devil here.
It was weird. He was...
He was kinda odd, but he was kinda nice too.
I mean, he's in recovery, but...
Anyway, I'm not...
I'm not looking for something.
I, uh, I think I'm gonna sell.
She's not coming back.
Karen's never coming home again.
_
If you do a bad thing and don't feel bad afterwards,
is it still a bad thing?
If you do a bad thing
and don't feel bad afterwards...
I don't want to be a question.
Hey, this is Jess.
Leave a message.
I'm gonna find out what happened.
The truth about everything.
Because I'm not crazy,
and I know what I saw.
Because I've seen it before.
I just... I just don't know how to make sense of it.
But I'm gonna find out what happened to you.
I'm gonna make this right.
I promise you.
Because I don't want to be afraid anymore.
It's dangerous to be afraid.
