I saw her!
You saw a lot of blood.
It scared the hell out of you.
Previously on "Tell Me Your Secrets"...
You and I both know that you get blackouts.
It wasn't a hallucination.
It happened, Pete. This happened.
Hey, Emma, this is Rose.
Her family's a big part of this town.
Aah!
You gonna make trouble for me?
I just need you to tell me where Karen Miller is.
Did your daughter help her?
Did you find something from her mother?
- She was fostered. - You're good at this.
I don't know why anyone would come here.
This place is rotten.
You're one of those girls, aren't you, from the group home?
I'm not crazy.
I'm gonna find out what happened.
We talked about everything.
That was the last birthday I had with him.
The last before I knew what he had done.
What happened on that day?
You want to know what happened?
Did you forget what day this is?
I got it.
It's National Take Your Boyfriend To Work Day.
Give me two minutes to get ready.
Don't.
Happy birthday.
We screwed till we were exhausted and wet and spent.
And then he gave me a kitten.
Oh, my God!
A beautiful little kitten.
That's what my life was.
She's purring.
That's the man I loved.
That's who he was to me.
I know.
On that day, he abducted Marissa Watkins.
He broke her hands so she couldn't fight him off.
He broke her feet so she couldn't run away.
So all the time that you were playing with your kitten,
she was dying in his van.
And then he went back, and he smashed her skull.
40 blows.
How could such violence happen without you noticing?
I didn't see that side of him.
What do you feel when you look back at that time?
I don't feel anything.
And if you'd known, what would you have done?
I wish I could go back,
pull the person I used to be out of there...
and never stop running.
Pete, what?
You didn't go to St. Jerome house?
You didn't even call them?
No. I don't know this place.
I can't just show up there and start asking questions
about a girl that you think went missing.
The man who put this in my leg,
he must have gone back, and he must have moved her.
I don't know. What I do know is that when a group home
has a kid that goes missing for more than 12 hours,
they have to fill out a police report.
There's no police report.
I checked.
Listen to me. You are on your meds, right?
You got the news about Parker's death,
and then you went and you drank...
This is not about him.
She reached out to me. She was unhappy.
And... and if you would have known what he was really doing
to all those girls, you would have stopped it.
Whatever that trauma is,
you're projecting it on to this girl.
Jess.
Her name was Jess.
Fine. Jess.
You're substituting
all those girls you couldn't save
with her.
That man in the swamp, I couldn't see his face.
He was wearing a hood.
How tall was he?
I don't know. I was in the waters.
Stand up.
Yeah, he was like your height.
Emma, this isn't your story.
You don't want to go down this rabbit hole.
You want to move forward with your life.
When I saw his face, I got goosebumps because I knew.
But I been shouting in the wind for four years now,
and then your vigil, it...
it hit me right in my heart.
Well, now you got us behind you.
It's crazy. Amy was the same age as the other girls he went for.
She dropped out of school for a year
like the other girls he took.
Theresa didn't drop out.
She was traveling, but no, I see your point.
All the girls were away from their families,
away from their home.
She was in Minnesota same time as him.
She went to Goldenstone Festival every year.
Okay. All went to festivals. They all got tattoos.
Van, I understand that there are a lot of similarities,
and none of us take lightly the idea of coincidence.
But everything we know about Christopher Parker...
the profile of his victims, the crimes he admitted to...
they were all white.
But we can do everything my mother said.
We can put Amy's case back in the news,
but we... we can't necessarily link her to Parker.
Work hard, you can be your own boss.
Why do you like doing hair?
'Cause you can find yourself through one good haircut.
Like me and my hair. I used to fight it.
We in this thing together now.
All right. Everybody do me a favor.
Hold out your hands like that right there.
Hold 'em out. Let me see.
I gotta run to the bathroom.
Okay, go on.
Who got the shakes?
All right now. If you're gonna have
them scissors in your hands, you got to be solid.
Otherwise, all your clients, they're gonna be ex-clients.
Eat your breakfast, Tina. We want you well again.
We want you strong.
Then you can go and join the others.
I'm sick of eggs.
You're not allowed up here.
I'm just looking for someone, a girl who lived here.
You're not supposed to be here. I'm gonna call them.
Wait, wait, wait, please. It's okay.
I'm looking for the girl who lived in this room, for Jess.
I'm her friend.
She had no friend but me.
She did. She had me.
She gave me this.
She said it was the best thing she had,
and that she wanted me to have it.
They say she gone back to her daddy.
They cleared out her room,
but I know they lying.
She would have never gone without them,
without saying goodbye.
We're gonna find her.
You and me, okay?
Come on, baby. We're running late.
I don't know why you even want me here.
It's awkward. I've nothing to say to these people.
You are what these girls could be with opportunity and care.
I don't want to do your show-and-tell anymore.
Hi.
Hey.
I'm sorry. I don't believe I know you. Do you work here?
Oh, no. I'm... I'm a part of their careers day.
How do you know my daughter?
Geez, Mom. I live in this town.
We live outside this town.
Wait. Are you the individual
- who turned my daughter into a gothic? - Mom, please.
You like it, her hair?
In four weeks she will be Festival of Saints Queen.
That stands for something around here,
so you'll pay for the damages you've done.
Go on. We'll wait in the office.
Your daughter's beautiful.
Stay away from her.
_
Hey, Mom.
Jake, if we can make this connect,
it could be enough to force Karen Miller
back for questioning.
Sh... she was with him when Amy Walker disappeared.
Mom. Kamala Walker's here. It's Van's wife.
Hi.
Mary, I'm gonna be straight with you
because what we've been through as mothers
means we're all out of B.S.
Tell my husband you don't need him.
But I do. Of course, I do.
In... in fact, I think we need each other.
I think your daughter's disappearance
did not get as much attention as it deserves
because, I think, of racial bias, and I'm gonna say that.
We're not looking for a white savior.
Is that what you think I'm selling?
Well, you are selling hope, Mary,
and that's what'll kill you.
My husband is bipolar.
That must be very tough on the both of you.
My husband Saul got depression after Theresa went.
No, I'm not talking depression.
I'm talking when he's down, it's like he's dead.
And when he's in his mania,
everything is Christopher Parker.
Your vigil came bang in the middle of a manic phase.
But what he said, it made sense.
Listen to me, Mary.
Mother to mother.
Parker didn't kill our daughter.
How can you know that?
Because Parker told me.
What?
Two years ago.
I listened to him for three hours,
and for months, I played it over and over and over.
He didn't do it.
You believed him?
It's the only answer I've got.
Then... why does Van think it's him?
Van wrote every week to Parker,
just like you, requesting a visit.
He never replied.
But he wrote me a letter.
He asked me to come.
He said he would give me the answers,
but it was to be our secret,
and it is.
Something big and...
dirty between us.
I need Van to be at peace
because when I look in his eyes, I see my daughter,
and I need to keep seeing her.
Parker is dead and gone.
So tell my husband you don't need him, please.
You said you listened to it over and over.
Do you have it?
The recording?
It won't help you.
It will.
Mother to mother.
Connie was a screamer.
Told me everything she thought would save her.
Toni gave me the login details for her bank.
Jodie scratched my face.
I had to put a stitch in my cheek.
I remember all of them.
Not your daughter.
And I would have remembered her.
I would have done so many things to her
if she'd been one for me.
I would have hit her so hard and so fast with my hammer.
The sound of bone under metal.
I'd have cut her... face.
Pulled out every hair in her head.
Hi.
I wanted to thank you
for getting that needle out of my leg.
Come here.
I don't need a hair cut.
Okay. Umm...
Well, maybe you should get a shave, right?
Show off that jaw because you have a nice one.
Is that a compliment in your world?
I want you to like me.
_
Hi. I hate to ask this.
I know it's gonna sound like a line, but is this seat taken?
My back... I have this weakness T-1 to T-12,
and my height... while impactful,
it's a bit of a drawback when it comes to spinal health.
I just really would love to sit down.
I'm actually meeting someone.
That's okay. I would expect nothing less, believe me.
It was an opportunistic window. I'll hobble along.
How about it's yours until my friend turns up?
Well, absolutely. How about that?
- Thank you. - Go for it.
Ugh. And while I'm sitting here
like a tragic "before" picture for Advil, can I buy you...
what is that?
Are you a comedian?
What do you mean? Do women laugh at me?
Yes!
Hi. I'm John.
I'm Gayle.
How are you?
It's a Campari.
Ah, a bit sophisticated.
I would have hit her so hard
and so fast with my hammer.
The sound of bone...
_
Thank you.
Be glad he never spoke about your daughter.
The video was 20 seconds long.
You said you listened to him for hours?
I let you hear what you needed to hear.
The rest is my business.
But now you see why I need Van at peace.
The things that man said would put thoughts in his head
that I could never free him of.
I'll talk to Van.
And you're right.
We're not on the same journey.
Thank you.
Don't you need to get that?
Don't want to get it.
"Pete"?
He's pretty, uh... insistent.
Is that your, umm...
My landlord.
Something wrong with your place?
No, he's just intense.
He likes to know where I go,
what I do, what I think.
That's weird and creepy.
He's got boundary issues.
Why you living there?
I wanted to go somewhere peaceful, get some space.
I like the cabin.
It don't sound peaceful.
Actually, I think he used to work around here
at the St. Jerome.
Peter Guillory.
I don't know that name.
Could you... look into him?
I just want to know...
if he's safe.
What if he's not?
Well, then, I'm gonna need you.
Oh, I should have known.
You've got a dentist smile all right.
I'm so glad that you noticed. It's Colgate, all the way.
I tried going into psychology,
but then I just somehow drifted into teeth.
Which sounds odd.
Well, that sounds a lot more appealing
than listening to a wall of crazy every day.
I have to say, my reasons for psychology were totally selfish.
I just wanted to find someone
who was gonna be my perfect match.
Try and figure out someone who wasn't gonna break my heart.
I've got a little background in behavior studies.
That doesn't help.
I still can't find the right guy.
Well, I would say that I am so, so sorry,
but I get to have wine with you.
You're cute.
Who, me? Nah.
Mm-hmm.
So what kind of behavior work do you do?
Social work.
I place kids with foster families.
That's really huge.
- Mm! - No, it is. They get a second chance.
Oh, well, uhh, I'm not blaming them.
I know about...
cycles of neglect, all that bullshit.
The thing is, no one lives
with the well-meaning studies, you know?
The reasons and the background. You live with the kid.
The product of the background, sure,
but at the end of the day, that nightmare's yours.
Most times, the caregivers can't turn it around.
That is so sad.
Yeah.
There must be some, though, that stand out to you.
Like someone who became the CEO of a bank
or become the president... I don't know.
You want to know?
Yeah, very much.
Karen Miller.
Killer Miller.
She did a bunch of murders with her boyfriend?
I placed her.
- Yeah. - Wow.
- Oh... - I'm sorry.
Okay.
Are we gonna blame the shoes for that one?
- Yep. - One, two.
- I'm good. - Those are bad shoes.
- Bad. - Bad, bad shoes.
- It's not the wine's fault. - Never... never the wine.
The Chardonnay is beyond reproach.
So, with Killer Miller, uh...
do you think they made her better or worse?
- Who? - Whoever it was that got her,
do you think, you know, it was their fault how she ended up?
Grandma Moses? Oh, God, no.
Crazy lady fostered so many kids up at Elsinor Lake.
She's probably in her grave by now.
But she gave her life to those kids,
but she couldn't save that one.
I remember Miller.
She stole a cat from a farm.
The cat was about due,
and every one of those kittens was stillborn.
That's someone who's gonna be sick in the head right there.
You could just sense that about her, about Karen Miller?
Are we nearly there? Are we nearly home?
You know, it's okay. I'm fine from here. I'm close.
Listen, it was nice to meet you.
- We were gonna have coffee. - Yes. But now...
I've got work. I've got an early start.
And you drank a lot of wine.
Yes, now I've got a headache.
Okay.
Bye, Gayle.
Hey!
Are you stalking me?
Not many people stand up to my mom around here.
I guess it just made me curious about you.
More curious.
One day you bust my nose, and the next you say I'm beautiful.
Abusive relationships.
My gift to the world.
It's a relationship?
H... how did you find me?
I heard you were up here.
From who?
It's a small town.
Plus, there's only so many places
people who don't like people are gonna go.
I like some people.
Do you like me?
I don't...
dislike you.
Now.
You want to get a beer?
With you?
Sure.
In a few years.
There's bars that'll serve me, you know.
No, I don't even drink. I... I have allergies.
My... my meds don't mix.
Why were you there at the group home?
Because my mom's obsessed with it.
Obsessed?
She gives away my dad's money
and makes herself feel closer to God.
Reminds me of how lucky I am not to be them.
Did you hear that Jess is gone?
Yeah, I heard.
Are they... good people there at the house?
God's people doing God's work.
That's the doctrine of St. Jerome.
I need to sleep.
Come on.
Why'd you tell her...
m... my mother... that I'm beautiful?
Because you are.
She should tell you that so that you feel loved.
So you don't feel alone.
I don't feel alone.
Yeah, me, neither.
You should go home.
Jesus.
I've been calling you.
How did you get in here?
- I have a key. - You what?
I have a key.
I need to be able to get in here
in case something happens to you.
What's gonna happen?
Nothing as long as you're being careful.
Are you being careful?
_
Where were you today?
At a work thing.
Who was the girl that was outside?
I heard a voice outside.
I cut her hair. That's all. She's a girl from town.
So you're making friends again, huh?
She has a collar.
Give her to me.
You know, she belongs to someone else.
I think she likes me.
There you go.
She came to me. She doesn't have an ID tag.
It's okay. Shh, shh, shh.
Why are you here?
The next time I call you,
you better pick up that phone.
I was working.
Well, do you know how hard I worked for this?
How hard I've worked to get you a place
where you could feel safe, where you could finally have peace,
start to heal?
So the next time that I call you,
and you decide not to pick up the phone, just...
just remember it has this impact.
I am entitled to a private life.
No. You earn that.
And you get to decide when I'm good enough?
That's the deal you made.
Maybe I don't want this deal anymore.
Maybe I am sick of you knowing everything
and me knowing nothing.
I don't even know where you're from.
Are you married?
You've kids?
Is your name even Pete?
It's actually Peter,
but my friends call me Pete,
so this works because we're friends, right?
Why are you here?
I contacted St. Jerome House.
The girl that you made friends with?
Jess?
She went to live with her father.
She's not dead.
They told you that?
Even though you're a stranger?
I need to check your meds.
It's work.
Yeah, hi. What's up?
Hey. You get home okay? You okay?
Yeah, I'm just tired.
Oh. I checked on your landlord.
You know he's a psychiatrist?
He has a practice upstate. How you know him?
We can talk about this in the morning.
No, wait. See, there's something else.
He did work at St. Jerome.
A long time back, but his license was suspended.
There's something on his file, but the records are sealed.
And w... what does that mean?
Hard to say.
Usually it'd be 'cause of inappropriate behavior.
I don't know, but St. Jerome is a place full of minors.
Okay, well, umm...
I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks.
A shift change.
Your Paroxetine, your Alprazolam,
your DCS, and your Zolpidem are all at their refill weights.
What's going on with you, Emma?
I want to try without them.
Well, that's never gonna happen.
Turn around. Turn around. I want to see your face.
I think I love you.
I had a mother, too, Mrs. Walker.
It's not that I'm against the idea of maternal comfort.
It's...
I don't know how to give it to you.
Why don't you tell me the truth?
No, I mean, nothing's for free.
And you want something from me, and I can give it to you.
What do you want?
A story.
Something to make me think.
Something personal about you.
How can you be sure I won't lie?
I've killed a lot of women, and they all told lies
to save themselves, so I can recognize
almost every type of lie.
Tell me a secret, Mrs. Walker.
Don't play with me.
Door's over there.
About a year ago, I ran down our dog.
My husband's... dog.
It was an accident,
and I never said it was me.
He still doesn't know.
Dogs have no sense, and they're way too easy to win.
I'm a cat person.
How come you didn't see your dog?
We all have our habits, our routines.
I'd imagine you'd keep an eye out.
Check he's not up in your grille, right?
Why not that day?
I was running late for work. I was on the phone.
Where was your husband?
I know for his many letters he doesn't have a job.
He was with the doctor.
Must have been an early appointment,
or one of his residencies for treatment.
He's had a few of those, hasn't he?
That dog was his comfort.
After your daughter?
I'm gonna give you your answer.
You been married a long time.
He's a good man, but where was your comfort?
You needed something.
Someone to see you differently.
He was my comfort.
The only thing that's been on his mind is Amy.
I don't believe he's once noticed how your hair falls.
And those beautiful eyes.
The care you take of your nails.
You do that for someone, but it's not him.
Were you late for work because you were with someone?
It was just...
Comfort?
I didn't kill your daughter.
I know how you mothers get,
wanting to think every bit of this is me.
There's always someone worse.
Imagine after all this, someone worse than me.
What an irony that would be...
That the most dangerous part of me
isn't even in this prison cell.
Hey. I was just thinking of you.
Emma?
You okay?
_
John? If you hear my voice,
it's because you need the psychomagic healing ceremony.
The swords represent your thinking, your memory,
and your response to the world and its boundaries.
Take the first sword from your heart.
This is the pain of your mother's death.
It represents your first wound and needs to heal.
This is my first wound.
"As I have always maintained, the man I believe
took my daughter implies he did not act alone.
I urge the federal authorities to bring Karen Miller
out of Witness Protection."
Oh, God, Mom.
You went through my phone.
- I needed to see all of it. - You needed?
Please understand, this could be the chance that we need.
But I told you this was my business,
and you copied a private recording
of a conversation my husband doesn't even know about.
He all but admitted he worked with someone else.
We could go after Karen Miller.
We? There is no we! It's just you.
Mom, why don't we go inside?
Has she always been this selfish?
Everything I do is for my family.
I do the same.
You have closure... what you believe is closure,
and you're not gonna give it to your husband?
I tried to give you peace, but I don't think you want it.
Christopher Parker's dead.
Karen Miller's out there, and I want to know what she knows.
- By tearing my marriage apart? - No.
No? Wait, are you that disconnected
that you don't think he's gonna need to hear every word of this,
to hear what that man said?
To hear what I said?
And what do you think he's gonna think of me then, huh?
I was very careful with the upload.
To get Parker's confession, I had to give him mine.
- I didn't... Oh! - Hey!
Don't touch her.
You uploaded that, and that's what my husband's gonna hear.
You know what? You got a better son than you deserve.
Maybe you should look to yourself
for why your daughter's gone.
She's in a lot of pain. We can't blame her.
I don't.
I mean, how could you betray someone like that, Mom?
What wouldn't you do?
No one's ever gonna find her.
If that's how you want it.
You got a call coming through to you, Miss Esther.
Must be my birthday. So much going on.
Is that you, my love?
Yeah, it's me.
I'm in a...
I'm in a new place, but everything feels the same.
Your secret's safe.
I love you. I love you.
I don't like wolves.
I don't like their teeth.
Will you take the wolf out, please?
There are no wolves here, Miss Esther.
You go on back to sleep.
You might want to come back in the morning.
She's a lot brighter. She'll remember you tomorrow.
I can wait.
