Peter Irvine, I have your son.
If this is a prank call, I swear to God...
It's not a prank.
You tell anybody about this,
you never find out what happens to your son.
He just won't ever come home.
You need to get some cash together.
You had a gambling problem, I went into business with you.
- You're so grateful. - I am grateful.
There's a trust I manage.
Let's use the funds from there
to replenish the Philips account.
- Whose trust is it? - Lia Irvine.
Hey, Col.
Hey.
My sister's unpredictable.
She's sweet and she's fun,
and then there's a mess to clean up.
Brian was, not born disabled.
There was an accident, and it was Lia's fault.
He can't communicate with us, Case.
You're a great mom. He loves you to pieces.
I'm here to pick up my son, Milo.
I think you've got the wrong house.
I didn't know if you'd want to see me.
Must bring up awful memories.
Ana and Carrie were friends.
I do know Carrie Finch.
She wanted to know what kinds of food Milo likes
and his bedtime routine.
- What happened, Ana? - She was with someone.
Now I think that she wanted them to meet Milo.
How well do you remember the Chicago Marathon?
It was the day that this man met Milo.
- What happened? - Did he do something to Milo?
Did he hurt Milo?
So after you tag marathon, running,
Chicago, stuff like that,
and then you run a facial recognition software
for both Milo and Carrie, then this is what you get.
- Who are you? - Local authorities have reiterated
the importance of coordinated efforts
and praised volunteers
for their dedication and cooperation.
If you have any information that may assist in locating Milo,
please contact local authorities.
It's open.
Do you want a new one?
_
I said do you want a new one?
No.
No, it's... it's good.
8.29.
I'm tired.
I know.
I'll get you back to your bed soon, OK?
My real bed or my vacation bed?
Vacation bed.
You like it, right?
Yeah.
We'll get back to the vacation house real soon.
But first we need to do one quick thing, OK?
Just you and me.
Why not Carrie?
Remember? I told you?
Carrie has to hide whenever she can 'cause she's famous.
Are you famous?
No.
Because you can't have two famous people, Milo.
That would be a problem.

I looked at the website again, Jim.
Yeah.
He'd be with kids with the same diagnosis.
He'd have his own aide all day.
One person to take him to the bathroom.
Or help him with his meals, or...
- Take him to the pool. - Because they have their own pool.
I hate how much I want it.
I hate thinking about how much more he could develop
if he just... just had help.
Honey, I want it too.
But they only have one spot.
It's a lottery.
For someone's future.
It's... it's so wrong.
It's so wrong.
You know what I thought of the other day?
What?
Sam's never gonna be an asshole.
Of course he won't be an asshole.
Well, no, no.
Just think of all the assholes in the world, right?
No, like...
just, like, everyday people you don't want to be around.
Yeah.
Those assholes...
They have parents.
- Yeah, I know. - Right?
- OK. - Right.
And so would you rather have an asshole like that as your grown-up kid?
You know, somebody who's married and has a job and all that normal stuff?
- Or would you rather have... - Sam?
Yeah, Sam.
Look, I know he's never gonna live independently, and maybe he doesn't...
do math, but he's never gonna be someone you don't want to be around.
And he's always good for a hug.
- We're lucky. - We're lucky.
I'd still do anything to get him into St. Mark's.
Anything.
Me too.
I'm applying for a new villain loan.
Go by the name of Vector.
We ran facial recognition on the guy.
From the marathon?
Yeah, and we didn't get any hits.
There was a shadow from the hoodie.
- I'm sorry. - Yeah.
And we don't have, an ID on the nanny yet.
No ransom demand to work off of, and we're on day four.
You gonna release the picture to the public?
We've still got one more Hail Mary.
After that, I don't know.
I mean, if we put his picture out there...
Well, then he'll know you're looking for him.
Yeah, exactly.
You think he could be violent?
I think even good people can do bad things if they're pushed.
Sam the man, can you point?
Which one?
Couldn't agree with you more. Green ones are gross.
Hey, you'll make the right call on the picture.
'Cause you always make the right call.
Thank you.
Hey, sweet boy.
Daddy's gonna look after you today, OK?
You be good for him, OK?
- OK. - OK, OK.
Let me see. What is that one?
I'm applying for a new villain loan.
Go by the name of Vector.
Hey, Sammy boy, do you know what a Hail Mary is?
- Yes. - It's my last big chance, OK?
- You ready? - Yeah.
OK. Ring, ring.
Ring, ring.
Here you go, here you go. Yes.
OK.
Hi.
Hello, Ms. Kaminski.
Thank you for agreeing to talk to me so early.
Yeah, of course.
You and your husband didn't recognize the man from the picture,
but, Jacob might.
You know, Carrie was his nanny,
and it could be that he saw Carrie
and that man together at some point.
Could I get your permission
to show him a picture and ask him a few questions?
Oh, of course, yeah.
Jacob, can you come here for a minute?
Come here.
Wait, wait, wait.
This is the man that's helping to find Milo.
Is it OK if he asks you a few questions?
Can I show him my letters?
OK. Yeah, but real quick.
He, wants to show you his letters.
He's learning to write.
Oh, yeah, no, I definitely want to see that.
You are so good, Jacob.
Well done, buddy.
- What do you say? - Thank you.
No, no, I mean it, Jacob. You're really good at letters.
Do you have a good memory, too?
Yeah.
Good. So I'm gonna show you a picture of a man,
and I want you to tell me if you recognize him.
OK.
Do you recognize the man in the picture?
It's all right, buddy.
Thank you for looking.
I... I'll keep you updated, Ms. Kaminski.
Thank you.
You want an airplane?
OK, you ready?
There's turbulence! OK, we're back now.
Hey, OK, hey.
I... I need you to be really quiet for this one, OK?
Ring, ring.
Here.
Go, go, go, go.
Hello, Ms. Irvine.
Oh, hi.
Are there any updates on...
on... on that man?
No one in the Kaminski family
recognizes the man, unfortunately.
I think our next best bet
is to run his picture... in the press.
And, ask the public to come forward with information.
But,
if he sees his picture everywhere, and...
and he has Milo, then...
you know, I...
I think it was different with Carrie, because she's a woman,
and we at least know she took good care of Jacob.
Yeah, no, I understand.
But if this man has Milo
and he sees his face on the news and...
and panics...
Oh, I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.
I'm... I'm... I'm sorry, Ms. Irvine.
Stop.
Do you think this is the right thing to do?
Y-yes, I do.
OK.
OK, I, I-I trust you.
Thank you.
And your jacket now.
- OK, we'll go in there. - Now?
Yeah.
Hey. Hey, can I tell you something?
OK.
That you're a good kid and I love you very much.
Yeah!
Now get out of here.
Paul. Honey.
Oh, hey, Rick. Good to hear from you.
Is this about the school lottery?
Has Sam gotten in?
No, not exactly.
- You know I had to step off the applicant committee. - Yeah.
- I know you. I know Casey and Sam. - _
- I-I'd be biased. - Of course.
No, no, no, no, it... it... totally understood.
It was just a joke. I was just joking.
Look, there's a lot of applicants this year.
There's only one reduced tuition spot,
and I know how bad you and Casey want this for Sam.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just gonna say it.
The associate dean here,
his son was arrested at a party last night.
Possession of a controlled substance.
Xanax?
- How'd you know? - 'Cause he's a rich kid.
They all steal their mom's Xanax
and then they take it to parties.
Tell him I said he's got nothing to worry about, OK?
He'll do drug treatment and community service,
and then he can get it expunged off his record
if he's clean for a year.
But he's applying for colleges in the fall.
It won't be expunged by then.
Well, no, because he got caught with a controlled substance.
That's how the law works.
Don't you guys, like, have to prove that it's Xanax?
I saw some documentary where you...
where you send it away to a lab to get...
Yeah, send it to the lab for testing.
We do it for every drug charge.
Has it been sent off yet?
Probably not for a week or two. Why?
He told the officers that it was Tylenol,
that he was just carrying it around in a prescription bottle
to look cool at the party.
- But they didn't believe him. - Probably because it wasn't true.
What if it was Tylenol?
I'm not that guy.
It would get Sam into St. Mark's.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let me make sure I understand what's on the table here.
I risk my career to give a rich kid another advantage in life,
and in exchange, my kid gets his basic educational needs met?
And this deal is coming from a man with the power
to help a dozen kids, maybe more.
But instead, he offers one spot to lower-income kids.
One spot.
Fuck it.
Fuck him.
I'm not that guy, pal.
Answer's no.

Breaking news.
The police have released a photo of a man
they are calling a person of interest...
A new development in the kidnapping of Milo Irvine.
Police have released a photo
of a person of interest earlier today.
What this guy brings out of his...
This guy's face is everywhere now.
I mean, he can't go anywhere.
If Milo isn't found, there will be backlash.
To find Milo, it's a good idea.
I mean, if you want to catch a criminal,
you have to think like them.
We want to find Milo.
Vehicle forensics came in on the nanny car.
- And? - There's nothing useful.
There's prints from the dad, the mom, the kid.
We can identify all of them.
There's several prints from other adults,
just no way to know which are hers.
- So the car was used by other people? - Yeah, unfortunately.
And it's opened up at this school drive-through,
passenger's side, by whoever's getting the kids out.
So there's lots of prints through the school.
How did we do at the milkshake shop?
Interviewed four staff members.
Two of them say they recognized the nannies,
that they stood in line together,
but they didn't notice anything else about them.
Said they talked.
Anything on our marathon man?
There's a lot of calls, but nothing that's been flagged for us yet
other than lots of people still thinking the whole thing was staged.
Detectives, think there's someone here you should talk to.
OK, ma'am, I know you've spoken to officers a few different times.
Please allow me to catch up.
So you live 1800 Crescent Hollow Road?
Yes.
The same address that Marissa Irvine was sent to
the day her child was kidnapped?
Yes.
And now you're saying you know the man from the marathon?
His name is Kyle Smit.
I was his foster mother for a little over a year.
What got Kyle into the foster system?
He never had parents to speak of.
There was an aunt, but she overdosed.
Oxy. Kyle's from South Shore.
That drug has just destroyed the whole neighborhood.
Kyle was 16, still a minor.
He was placed with me.
How'd that go?
I loved having him.
And I think he was happy with me, too.
He enrolled in a GED program, graduated high school.
I have a picture of that day.
What more can you tell us about Kyle?
He was a little skittish by nature.
Otherwise, he was mostly quiet.
And kind.
I don't believe he would be involved in a kidnapping.
It just doesn't make sense.
Did Kyle have a girlfriend?
Never that I knew of, no.
Do you and Kyle still keep in touch?
He turned 18 and wasn't in the foster system anymore.
He went and stayed with a friend
from his old neighborhood while he looked for work.
And he got a job, too.
- Oh. Doing what? - Construction.
And he was so nervous.
He wasn't practical by nature.
He called me on his first day on his way in.
He had to take a few buses to get there
and we talked the whole way till he felt better.
But it doesn't mean anything at the end of the day, does it?
High school diploma and a job, sure, but...
still can't live off what they pay you.
Last I heard, he was arrested for selling OxyContin.
Judge gave him six years.
Ma'am, have you seen this picture in the news?
Yes.
I know she's suspected of taking that little boy, Milo.
Do you know her?
- No. - Has she ever come to visit Kyle?
No.
Did Kyle ever mention anyone named Carrie?
Caroline?
I'm sorry, no.
OK.
So ma'am, you say you don't believe Kyle was involved in the kidnapping.
- I don't. - Even though Kyle
and the kidnapper are connected,
we have pictures of them together,
and you just described Kyle as a young man
without any money or legitimate prospects for making money.
And of all addresses in all of Chicago,
the very wealthy Marissa Irvine gets sent to your home
on the day of the kidnapping,
the home where Kyle Smit lived for over a year.
And you honestly believe that this is all a coincidence?
We have a name.
Kyle Daniel Smit.
The address Marissa Irvine was texted
on the day of the kidnapping
belongs to Kyle Smit's former foster mother,
pointing to him as more than just an acquaintance of Carrie Finch.
We're now looking at his potential involvement
in Milo's abduction.
All right, let's pull everything we can on Kyle.
Let's start with the driver's license.
I got it here. State of Illinois.
- Expired? - No.
- Record's clean. - OK.
Check in with Hertz and Enterprise and all of them
and see if he's rented a car recently.
If so, I want the make, model, and plate
and any GPS data they have.
After that, credit checks.
How has he spent his money? Has he rented an apartment?
If he's using an ATM in the last month,
I want the banking information and CCTV with it.
We're gonna get pushback on all those requests.
Unless we're getting a warrant.
Prison file's right here.
What do we need to know?
Drug offense, like the foster mom said.
Not a single visitor until a week before his release.
Visitor was Caroline Finch.
OK, Kyle Smit is no longer a person of interest.
He is now a suspect.
- Get that warrant. - I'll get the paperwork going for the judge.
A prison visit right before his release.
Carrie's already working for the Kaminski family
and getting closer to making her move on Milo.
Let's talk to Kyle's cellmate,
see what he said after Carrie left that day.
I started my time here about a year ago.
They put me in with Kyle
and I shared a cell with him right up until his release.
- Did you guys get along? - Yes, sir. Yeah.
I mean, Kyle was quiet.
It wasn't easy to get to know him.
But, he broke down eventually, started talking.
What did you guys talk about?
Construction, mostly. We both worked in that.
Kyle was a drywall installer before he came here.
Is that what you did?
No, sir. No, I was with, Secure Builders up in Crestline there
from 2017 to 2023.
You know, I was a foreman and I just worked my way up
to project manager.
They're real good people there.
Good people.
Did Kyle ever talk about a girlfriend?
Most of these guys, they talk about a girlfriend.
And she is always real pretty,
but never shows up on visiting day, you know?
Well, did Kyle ever talk about a girlfriend
that you thought was real?
No.
People like Kyle and me, we know there's nothing on the outside anymore.
For us,
it's best not to talk about that.
Was one girl, though.
She came to visit.
The only reason I remember, she was the only one.
It was like a week before he got out.
But I don't know.
He didn't act like it was his girlfriend or anything.
What did he act like?
He was just...
quiet for a few days.
I thought it was, like, his sister, cousin,
something like that.
Bad family news.
I was just guessing.
Did you see her? The girl that visited Kyle?
No, sir.
Was it that nanny?
Why do you ask that?
We all seen the news.
Seen the picture.
It's not hard to put the pieces together.
The woman who visited Kyle Smit was the nanny, yes.
Carrie Finch.
Though that's not her real name.
All right, pretend you're me
and you want to find Kyle Smit right now.
Where's the first place you would look?
Well, usually I'd say with his dealer,
but, Kyle only sold stuff, so...
I'd say your best bet's his old neighborhood.
Nobody there is gonna want to talk to the cops,
but I'd still try.
Kyle's only relative from South Shore is long gone.
Do you really think he'd go back there still?
Seeing his face on TV, you know,
if he knows he's in trouble,
probably just run back to his old neighborhood.
Might be all he has left.
Hey, thank you.
You're welcome.
You bring that boy home to his mama.
Yes, sir.
OK, so she visits him a week before his release.
Doesn't sound like it was a happy visit.
How do we think they met?
Well, she could have met him while he was serving time.
What, like through letters?
Yeah, I doubt that, too.
If they knew each other from before he went in,
it was when Kyle was living in South Shore.
So it stands to reason Carrie's from there, too.
Well, officers found yearbooks from Kyle,
grade school on up.
There's no picture of anyone who resembles Carrie,
even looking up and down a few grades.
OK, what was Kyle doing in South Shore besides school?
Where could he meet somebody?
Work. Construction.
There's not a lot of young girls in drywall.
That doesn't mean her dad's not a drywaller.
There's, like, 15 drywall places in South Shore.
We can send officers out to all of them now if you want.
I mean, suits are hard enough in a place like South Shore.
Uniforms are dead in the water.
Let's see if we can narrow it down.
The aunt who ODed... what's that address?
That's... South Bennett Avenue.
OK. The foster mom said when Kyle turned 18, he left her,
then went back to live with his old friends.
That's got to be near South Bennett.
There's, like, four or five drywalling places around South Bennett.
Yeah, but we want to look away from South Bennett, remember?
Because the foster mom said that Kyle called her on his commute.
He had a few bus rides.
So if we're starting off in South Bennett,
what's a drywall place a few busses out?
I got two.
Well, he was arrested in 2019.
Any chance one of them was around before then?
You got it.
Let's go.
You know, I'm starting to think people around here
don't like talking to cops.
Yeah, but someone's gonna want to catch the bus home.
They'll probably be alone and we could try them again then.
So we'll just wait.
Sam's school call?
No, we're good.
Hey, sorry we're out here with two cars, you know?
It's no big deal.
- It's just if they do call, you know... - That's how Sam days work, man.
You and Casey trade off. I get it.
You sleeping?
No. You?
So-so.
I... I saw this thing, and I can't stop thinking about it.
It's like a... a loop in my head, you know?
Like OCD, you know?
I saw this documentary on old sanatoriums.
And back then,
anyone with a mental disorder, they'd just throw you in,
tie you up, drug you, shock you.
Like, all that stuff, I already knew, you know?
But then I saw this...
you know, they showed this room
with cribs, but like, big cribs.
For, like, six- and seven-year-olds.
And the cribs had tops.
And the tops locked, you know.
And that's where they put the kids who couldn't talk.
Like, that, I...
I didn't know that part, you know?
Hey, Jim.
Sam's a happy kid.
Every time I see him, he's smiling.
Yeah, he likes you.
It's 'cause I bring him candy.
I'm not above bribery.
Here we go.
Ma'am, sorry to bother you.
We didn't get a chance to talk to you inside.
- Yeah, we're not talking now. - You were on the phone.
Go away.
- It's about a missing child. - I don't know anything.
Was there ever an employee named Kyle Smit working with you?
Did you have any interaction with him at all?
Anything you can tell us?
You recognize her at all?
Maybe seen her around?
She goes by the name Carrie Finch.
Never seen her.
Yeah.
OK, get a BOLO out now and send me the last known coordinates
and a list of all the hotels and motels in the area.
Abandoned houses, too. Good man.
Kyle Smit rented a 2019 white Toyota Camry a week ago.
Hasn't returned it.
GPS was disabled.
We got our car.
_
Carrie Finch.
Where'd you come up with that name, Josie?
Peter will be back soon.
He's putting up some flyers with his sister.
One of us always stays at the house in case.
It's funny how fast you set up patterns.
Yeah.
Milo was really creative with his colors.
Yeah.
Yeah, he wouldn't...
He wouldn't practice the alphabet unless we got him new markers.
His name is Kyle Smit.
Is that name familiar to you at all?
That name?
- No. - No?
He was, recently released from prison
for a nonviolent offense.
Carrie visited Kyle a week before he was released,
and that connects them even before the marathon.
What was he in prison for?
Possession with intent to sell.
A Schedule II substance. OxyContin.
So we now have two adults working in tandem
to carry out a very complex and risky crime,
two adults that would have to be on the same page
about their motivation to kidnap a very young child.
It doesn't appear as though either of you
have a personal connection with Kyle or Carrie,
which means that it's highly likely
that the motivation behind the crime is financial.
Now, it can be a temptation to handle a ransom demand
without coordinating with the police,
but please believe me, that is not the right course of action.
But we're not handling anything on our own.
What's your son's name?
Sam.
I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean for you to hear him like that.
Oh, it's OK. It's all right.
How old is he?
He's 13.
He's got a few disabilities.
You know, he can't speak or understand very much.
Do you have a picture?
- You don't have to show me. - No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
- He's cute. - Thank you.
He looks happy.
You want to sit down?
Yeah.
Do you worry about him?
Everyone worries about their kids, right?
I haven't cornered the market on that one.
Well, that's not how you feel.
Well, it's not.
You don't have to tell me how you do feel.
It's none of my business.
But I know a rehearsed answer when I hear one.
You do worry.
More than most.
Mrs. Irvine, is...
is there a chance that your husband may have received
a ransom notification and perhaps not told you?
No, no.
He wouldn't do that. He wouldn't keep something that big from me.
He likes to take care of people and...
You know, takes charge on instinct a lot.
But no, not... not that.
Not with this.
Why do you think he likes to take care of people so much?
I don't know. I think he's just always done it.
He's always been in charge of his siblings.
Yeah, Peter said there was an accident when they were kids.
Yeah. He was ten.
Yeah.
Lia and Brian, they were little.
Four and six, I think.
You know, they were playing and she was overexcited and hyper
and Brian...
It was an accident, how he fell.
But I think that it's...
Lia has grown up with that on her conscience.
And it's sort of shaped who she is as a person.
I don't know.
We all have our own shit, though, hey?
I worry about Sam getting sick.
Like cancer.
You know, he's having symptoms and...
he can't tell us,
so we don't catch it until it's too late.
I worry about when my wife and I are gone
and Sam getting older in some crappy public-funded home.
I worry about who's gonna take care of him.
Are they gonna be nice to him?
And lately...
lately, I worry...
That maybe I'm sort of happy
that he doesn't understand
so much, you know, because if he did...
if he knew me better, then maybe
he wouldn't hug me the way he does, you know?
That's...
that's what I think of.
I promised myself that...
if Milo comes...
when Milo comes back,
I will do whatever it takes
to make sure that nothing bad ever happens to him again.
Doesn't matter what it is, I will do it.
Because that's our job.
We'd do anything for our kids.
Anything.
The address you were given for Milo's playdate,
1800 Crescent Hollow Road?
Yeah.
The woman who lives there...
- Esther. - Esther.
She was Kyle Smit's foster mom.
What?
Well, I... well, I have to talk to her, then.
One thing.
Esther was the only person in Kyle's life
to ever be kind to him.
And if Kyle is involved in your son's kidnapping,
he knew you were gonna have the worst day of your life,
and he sent you to the most loving person he knew.
That's not nothing.
- Hey, Jackson. - Hey.
Hey.
Sam was such a blessing today, really.
Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
We've been short-staffed all day
and a few of the other kids were struggling a bit.
I was sure I was going to have to call you or your wife.
But then Sam, he came through for us.
Sam the man.
He's been over there doing his puzzle
for the last two hours.
Two hours? Wow.
He is a sweet boy.
I love having him here with us.
Thank you, thank you.
Sam the man.
Hey, I heard you were pretty great today.
- Yes. - Can I get a hug?
One more hug. One more hug.
Yeah.
Here.
You know the deal, OK?
- No Mommy. - Don't tell Mommy.
Yeah. It's nice.
Nice.
Like that.
Thank you, Sammy.
Oh, are you?
- How is it? - Good.
Good?
OK, spit.
Now get out of here.
_
Yeah?
You made the right call
releasing the picture of that marathon man.
First we got his name,
now we've got our biggest lead yet.
On my way.
So I wasn't sure if it was him from the picture on the news,
but when you said what kind of car you were looking for,
I went back and checked out cameras.
That the guy you want?
It is.
Did he come inside to pay for anything?
Yeah, but we don't have those tapes.
Rerecorded today, sorry.
What can you tell us about him?
Just that he bought some mac and cheese.
Anything else?
No.
We're gonna need a copy of that.
What kind of mac and cheese?
There's the kind that you make in a microwave
and the other, you need a stove.
Which one did he buy?
A lot of shitty hotels and motels have microwaves
either in the room or at the front desk,
but none of them have stoves.
Kyle Smit bought mac and cheese that had to be made on a stove.
They gotta have a house around here somewhere.
Yeah, and it'd have to be somewhere close to here.
They wouldn't risk driving a long distance,
not just for some food.
There's a bunch of little lake house rentals right over there.
This is the closest place to buy groceries.
Well, I mean, sure,
she's just about the same age as the kidnapper.
But they don't look alike, I don't think.
Her hair was darker and long, and...
yeah, she was all done up in makeup.
Is this her place?
Yeah.
I mean, I'll show if you like.
But she's gone for sure.
So she checked out?
She didn't have to. She paid in advance.
It's just in here.
Granny?
Granny must be having a party.
I hope they are careful with their cigarettes.
Here it comes.
- Granny! - Come in!
Hi, Granny!
Call forensics.
Hey, honey. Sorry, this is taking a while.
- Have you checked your email?
- Honey? - No, no.
H-he got in.
Sam's got into St. Mark's.
- Oh, really? - Really! It's happened.
I don't know how it happened,
but it's happened, and I can't... I can't even.
I'm so happy!
I feel so guilty.
All those other parents will be devastated.
I mean, these are... these are people we know.
Everybody deserves it just as much as our Sam.
Oh, God. I feel horrible.
But I'm so relieved.
We found a body.
We're just the luckiest people.
Honey, I'll call you back.
