"Five years ago, she moved here from San Francisco, lost 30 pounds, and became the smart, hot girl that loves fashion." "I love her to death, and she's not as superficial as she seems." "Not usually, anyway." "♪ Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na ♪" "And that's me." "I'm Avery." "I'd say I'm the one that's more in touch with reality." "I keep the other two out of trouble" "Well, at least most of the time." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "Did you guys see how many new followers we have?" "112 since Friday. 114, actually." "That makes a total of 2,763." "And did you see how many re-tweets we got yesterday?" "People love pranks that involve authority figures." "Then they're gonna love today's." "What is that?" "Ian?" "I don't know." "Bro, your backpack." "Great joke, Ian." "Back to the test." "I didn't do it, Mr. Brixton." "All right, laugh away." "Ha, ha, ha." "It's not that funny." "Oh, my God." "This is going to be great for the blog." "Our followers will love it." "Brilliant." "This is perfect." "Send it to me, and I'll upload it later." "See you tonight, Kaylie." "Come here." "You guys have to see this." "This is awesome." "Mail-order brides." "They're from, like, every country on the planet." "Click on that one." "Hmm." "She's from Latvia." "Nice bikini." "You're a snob." ""Interested in a man" ""30 to 60 years old." ""My friends describe me as creative, shy, understanding, and cheerful."" "Read her hobbies." ""Gardening, housekeeping, listening to pop music, and exercise."" "This is hilarious!" "Housekeeping is her hobby?" "That can't be true." "Can you guys imagine what kind of guys have to basically order a wife on a website?" "There are how many women in America, and none of them will date you?" "Yeah, but these guys don't want American women." "They want women that they can treat like slaves." "You don't know that." "Yes, I do." "Half these women don't even speak English." "Please don't tell me you feel sorry for the losers trying to buy a wife online." "If you want to feel bad for someone, feel bad for these girls." "They have no idea what they're getting into." "There's one in particular you need to see." "Oh, she's pretty." "Yes, she is." "And with her help, we're going to get a much better look at these inadequate, pitiful guys." "Wait." "You faked that?" "Uh-huh." "This is going to be our best blog post ever." "All you care about anymore is this blog." "People love us." "We are getting so popular." "Okay, we're not popular, the blog is." "No one even knows we're behind it." "Eventually they will, if they want to make a TV show or something about us." "The odds of that happening" "Stop being so negative, Avery." "It's happened to worse blogs than ours." "Besides, it's fun." "Right?" "Definitely." "Okay, help me finish setting up the rest of her profile." "What is she looking for in a mate?" "Someone with a sense of humor." "Yeah?" "I'm here for Wanda." "I called earlier." "I brought 300, like you said." "For anything I want." "More, if it's kinky stuff." "Wrong house." "It's across the street." "Oh." "Yeah." "Sorry, man." "Gifts for my two besties." "Kaylie, what's this for?" "My mom and I found them when we were shopping, and they reminded me of us." "I love it, Kaylie." "Thank you." "Me, too." "I'm never going to take it off." "We match." "This is our last year together before we all go off to college." "We've been friends since the third grade, and I want us to stay as close as we are now forever." "I think that's the sweetest thing you've ever said." "Oh, my God, you guys." "Someone responded to our fake profile." "What?" "What a total loser!" "He's a computer programmer." " What's his username?" " "BigJohnny."" "Like, as in a big Johnson?" " Or a big nerd." " Look how ugly he is." "Wow, he's really... gross." ""Hi, Diwata." "My name's John." ""I'm 32, and I live in Ralston." ""I wanted to say hi" ""because I think you're very beautiful," ""and we think we both seem to be looking for that special someone to spend our lives with.""

"Now it's your turn." "Fantastic." "Very good." "Very good." "Frederick Douglass, Narrative of a Slave." "Who's read it?" "Okay." "What was Douglass trying to tell us about slavery?" "Douglass explains how slavery is humiliating." "Kaylie, I'll take the phone." "No, Mr. Brixton!" "I promise to turn it off!" "You're my favorite teacher in the whole world." "Yeah, give me the phone." "You know the rules." "Okay." "What was Douglass trying to tell us about slavery?" "Honestly, I hate school." "The idea of doing this for four more years makes me want to slit my wrists." "Yeah, but you can't just not go go college." "Yeah, I could, if we sell the blog." "Kaylie, I think you're taking this thing way too seriously." "I've done the research." "It happens all the time." "People start blogs and YouTube channels, and they get turned into books and movies and TV shows." "The way ours is going, it could happen." "And what if it doesn't?" "I just can't do four more years of this." "Here you go." "Let me know if you guys need anything else." "I'm Wendy." "Thank you, Wendy." "Hoo-hoo!" "Damn!" "She got me all hot and bothered." "Can we go now?" "Not till we've hooked you up with one of these stunners." "I have a girlfriend now." "Since when?" "Here." "She's from Manila." "Hot!" "How did you meet her?" "Online." "Super pretty, huh?" "Yeah-eah-eah." "You should call her up and tell her to come down." "Oh, she's... she's super busy taking classes and stuff." "You should invite her to the company party." "Yeah." "Are you ever gonna come get your box?" "The delivery guy left it with me over a week ago." "Expensive software." "Mm-hmm." "I opened it on accident." "I thought it was something I ordered." "You and me should get together sometime." "I'll give you a good price." "I have a girlfriend." "How come I've never seen her, then?" "She..." "lives abroad." "Well, then, you need someone nearby to keep those pipes working while she's gone." "Can't get any closer than across the street." "Right?" "I have to go." "Oh, my God." "You aren't gonna believe this." "What?" "He just sent a plane ticket." "Who?" "Big John, so Diwata can come visit him." "One-way ticket from Manila to L.A." "for some ridiculous office party." "Are you kidding?" "830 bucks, plus a $600 agency fee that I made up." "Idiot." "Seriously?" "Do you know what this means for the blog?" "The video we're gonna get when he shows up at the airport, and no one comes off the plane?" "That's, like, a lot of money he can't get back." "Who cares?" "This will make us the most popular prank site in the country." "I suppose." "Come on." "You're acting all whiny like Avery." "Have you told her about the plane ticket yet?" "Not yet." "Don't say anything." "The way she's been acting lately, I'm afraid she might blow it." "Uh, Kaylie, this isn't how we usually get to the mall." "This is so messed up." "Just tell her." "Wait." "Tell me what?" "Fine." "We're not going to the mall." "Okay, then where are we going?" "Trust me." "This is gonna be awesome." "Flight 477 from Lisbon has now arrived." "Flight 477 from Lisbon has now arrived." "Please tell me what we're doing here." "Just come with us." "You're going to ruin the surprise." "Oh, my God." "That's him!" " I don't get it." " Big Johnny thinks that." "Diwata's arriving from the Philippines." "Are you kidding me?" "He even made a sign." "Mandy, go get a pic with your phone." "Maybe she's right." "We shouldn't post this." "Oh, my God." "I have worked too hard to let you guys ruin this." "Seriously, Mandy, go effing tape it!" "Kaylie, this is just plain cruel." "Don't feel sorry for his ugly ass." "Why do you have to make it worse for him?" "I am doing this on behalf of all women on that mail-order site." "He deserves some girl that looks like a model?" "He doesn't." "Would you even kiss that?" "Hell, no." "Look, I don't know why those girls are on that site, okay?" "What I know is that you're taking this way too far." "It's not okay to just hurt people so you can sell your stupid blog and avoid going to college." "Well, guess what?" "3,238 followers disagree with you." "What happened to you?" "You didn't use to be this way." "What way?" "It's like you don't care about people anymore." "If they get hurt, so what?" "This guy would do the same damn thing to you if he was clever enough to think of it." "Don't think he wouldn't." "He's basically trying to buy a wife." "So, screw him." "Where are you going?" "Home!" "It's an airport." "I'm sure I can find a cab." "What's going on?" "She's pissed off about the prank." "Just let her go." "This is perfect." "Honey, what just happened?" "Why did you just come home in a cab?" "I got in a fight with Kaylie and decided to come home." "From her house?" "No, from the airport." "What?" "Yeah, uh, can we maybe talk about it over dinner?" "Yeah, yeah." "Of course." "Okay." "Okay." "♪♪" "Are you alone?" "Oh, uh, yeah." "Where's the posse?" "Not sure." "Avery." "Can I please talk to you?" "See you later." "Uh, I have to get home." "Please?" "I agree the joke was too much." "I haven't even checked the blog since she posted it." "I feel so guilty." "Does Kaylie feel bad?" "She's consumed with the blog." "Look, it's not just that." "You guys had no right to trick me into going to the airport." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "Why do you go along with her?" "She's the reason we're popular." "Who cares about that?" "You don't understand what it's like on the other side." "I do, and it sucks being the fat kid who brings kimchi in her lunch that everybody makes fun of." "Then you of all people should've known better." "You're right." "She's scared." "You and I are both going off to college, and she knows she's going to be left behind." "What do you think these are all about?" "She can go to college, too." "She just doesn't want to." "Who knows?" "Maybe she really can sell it, and we get famous and make lots of money." "Stranger things have happened." "You're kidding yourself." "We've all been friends too long to just end it." "Talk to her." "She cares a lot about you, and I know you care about her, too." "Hi, I'm Nick." "Hey, um, oh, come on in." "Nice place." "Can I, uh, sit down?" "Oh, sure, yeah." "So, uh, I like to get business out of the way first." "It's 200." "Yeah." "Yeah, uh..." "So what did you have in mind?" "Uh, I-I'm not gay." "That's fine." "Gay, straight-- Doesn't matter to me." "No, I-I mean I don't want any sort of sex from you." "I wanted to hire you for something else." "I'm just trying to play a little joke on, on my niece." "I see Trevor accepted your friend request." "Look, sorry about the whole airport thing." "It was totally wrong to trick you into going." "Let's just put it behind us, okay?" "No, I don't want any part of it." "Fine." "Your friendship is more important to me than this stupid blog." "I just want the three of us to go back to the way we used to be." "Really?" "I miss you." "All right." "You have to go to that party while your mom's in Phoenix." "I haven't been to a party in forever." "We just went to Justin's party less than two months ago." "Yeah." "Excuse me." "Do any of you have a tissue in your purse or something?" "I got this grease all over my hands." "I do." "Thanks." "I'm Nick, by the way." "Kaylie." "I'm Mandy." "Avery." "Hi." "So... why haven't I seen you around here before?" "I just moved here from Pittsburgh." "That's cool." "Well, so what do you guys do for fun around here?" "You got it?" "Yeah." "Kaylie Mack." "I'll give you my number, too." "Cool, cool." "Well, catch you guys later." "Nick..." "Avery's having a party at her house this weekend, if you want to come." "Maybe." "Text me the details." "Kaylie, what are you doing?" "I'm not having a party." "You have to." "First of all, Mandy, I saw him first." "No, you didn't. he talked to all three of us at the same time." "I gave him the tissues, so I get first dibs." "Guys, it doesn't matter anyway." "Got it." "And... they invited me to a party this weekend." "Wow." "What about Trevor?" "It's the perfect chance to be alone with him." "It won't be a rager." "Just a few intimate friends." "Please?" "That guy is gorgeous!" "Okay, fine." "But just a few friends, and we're not calling it a party." "All right." "Take it easy." "Yeah." "Bye, Mom." "Have a safe trip." "Okay." "I will text you as soon as I get to the hotel in Phoenix." "Okay." "Love you." "Love you, too." "Bye." "Party of the year." "Stop using the "P" word." "We should do something for the blog tonight." "Play a joke." "Nothing mean." "Right, Avery?" "How about we put water in the vodka bottles and see who acts drunk when they're not?" "Okay, just no tricks on Trevor, okay?" "Fine." "Kaylie?" "Okay." "Avery, he didn't show." "Who, Nick?" "Of course I mean Nick." "He said he was gonna come." "Okay, just text him." "That'll make me look desperate." "So just wait a little longer." "I don't know, maybe he's running late." "Sorry." "Yeah, I just can't stand her." "Yeah, I know." "Just give her a chance." "She's trying." "You're gonna go meet him by yourself?" "You don't even know this guy." "I know he's hot." "What if he's a rapist or something?" "You can't rape the willing." "I'm just kidding." "That's why I want you to go with me." "And leave the party?" "No way." "Tell him to get his ass over here." "We can convince him in person and then come back." "Okay, fine." "Only because I don't want you to end up dead in a ditch or something." "Aw, such a good friend." "Let's go." "I guess Avery and Trevor are together now." "Guess so." "She could do so much better." "You know, you, uh, haven't shown me your room yet." "I don't think I could just leave everybody alone." "Oh, come on." "They'll be fine." "Okay." "Um, I just need to tell Mandy she's in charge." "Go down the hall, and it's the last door on your left." "Okay." "Well, then, I'll see you there." "Where is he?" "He's in there." "Let's go." "Attention, skateboarders and visitors, we'll be closing in about 10 minutes, so please gather your equipment and belongings and make your way to the front door exit." "Thank you." "Nick!" "This is creepy." "Nick!" "Nick!" "I think we should go back to the party." "I'm getting a really weird vibe." "Let's just check downstairs." "Come on." "No one's here." "Maybe he's playing a joke on you or something." "This isn't funny, Nick." "Get your ass out here!" "We're leaving!" "I'm leaving now." "This is effed up." "Mandy!" "I'll be in the car." "You know what?" "You're an a-hole." "Perfect." "Mandy..." "Where the hell is she?" "The skate park is closing." "What are you doing out here?" "I was just texting my friend." "Have you seen her?" "She was here a few minutes ago." "Nope." "Like I said, the park is closing." "Let's move it along." ""Went home"?" "How?" "Move it along." "I'm leaving." "You can go take your doughnut break now." "♪♪" "Three missed calls?" "Damn it." "I hate to do it, but I will call the police if you don't turn it down and move the cars..." "Fantastic." "Hey, uh, sorry, guys." "Party's over." "I don't know if the cops were called, so if you're sober, you should probably leave now, and if you're not, then, I don't know," "I'll try and find you guys a ride home." "So... out." "Thank you." "What's going on?" "What do you think?" "Neighbors complained." "Did Mandy come back?" "No, I haven't seen her." "Where were you, anyway?" "It has to be her playing a joke." "That little bitch!" "What are you talking about?" "That jerk-off Nick texted me and told me to go all the way out to the skate park to meet him and then didn't show." "Mandy goes with me, then disappears." "Texts me a few minutes later and says she went home." "Does that mean she walked?" "From the skate park, that's, like, five miles." "Or maybe Nick drove her home." "Screw her!" "It's probably for the blog." "Mandy wouldn't do that." "Nick is probably just an ass." "She wanted him from the start." "I think you should just go look for her, okay?" "I got to get this place cleaned up and Trevor out of here." "Where's Trevor?" "Passed out in my mom's bed." "I'll go kick him out." "Oh, my God!" "Look!" "You pissed yourself!" "Go to hell, Kaylie." "What happened?" "Ask your friend." "Kaylie, you promised not to play a trick on him." "It's water." "He's fine." "I can't believe I gave you another chance." "You don't even realize what you did wrong." "Seriously, I'm done." "Just get the hell out of my house." "You know what?" "That's fine with me." "I don't want to be friends with you either." "You're not even fun to be around." "All you do is bitch and whine." "It's getting really old." "Do you remember me?" "I remember you, too." "I'm sorry!" "I'm so sorry!" "Be... quiet!" "I just have one question." "Why did you do that to me?" "I don't know." "It was so stupid." "Kaylie came up with the idea, and we thought it would be funny, I guess." "It was mean." "We shouldn't have done it." "It was Kaylie's idea." "I see." "So... if I had to pick one person to blame, that person would be Kaylie?" "What are you gonna do to me?" "If you let me go, I swear I won't say anything to anyone." "We'll call it even." "We played a joke, you played one." "Except this isn't a joke." "This is very real." "The pain I felt at the airport was real." "And you're soon gonna understand pain." "I'm so sorry." "We never wanted to hurt you." "I think you did." "I'm pretty sure it's why you did it." "I swear to God." "We never even considered it." "It was just a stupid thing for this stupid blog." "It's my turn now... to be mean." "Oh, that's great, Bunny." "As you know, Bunny has won $17,380!" "What the..." "Don't move..." "Kaylie." "The problem with these smart systems is they aren't that smart." "Sounds convenient, doesn't it, to control everything with one device?" "Now I control everything." "Please don't hurt me!" "We'll give you your money back or anything else you want!" "Hurt you?" "All you care about is yourself." "No more pranks, Kaylie." "Your moment of truth is here." "Mandy!" "Help!" "Someone, help!" "Someone!" "Help!" "This is your fault." "He's gonna kill us, and it's your fault because of that stupid blog!" "Mandy... where are we?" "I don't know where we are." "Hello?" "Avery, this is Brandi Kim." "Is Mandy with you?" "No." "She was here for a while last night, and then she left with Kaylie and didn't come back." "Well, Mandy didn't come home last night." "I just tried Kaylie, and she's not answering her cell phone." "So, they went out to meet this guy, Nick, and Kaylie said that Mandy texted saying that she was going home by herself?" "Yeah, something like that." "Okay, do you have any texts from this Nick?" "No." "Mandy and Kaylie were the only ones to get his number." "I think they'd been communicating over Snapchat." "So, the messages are probably gone anyway." "Yeah." "How did you meet this guy?" "He came up to us last week at the skate park, and he told us that he was from Pittsburgh and didn't know anybody." "What day was this?" "Tuesday." "Oh, I think he actually might be in a picture that I took of Trevor-- Hold on." "Yeah, look, this is all I have." "It's not very good, but..." "Okay." "Thank you." "This'll help." "It's no use." "They won't come off." "Shut up!" "Oh!" "Where are they?" "I want to know why you think it's funny to hurt someone." "Maybe we should let Kaylie answer, since this was all her idea." "My idea?" "Yeah." "That's what Mandy said." "It was your idea!" "We didn't even know you bought the plane ticket until after she told us." " Shut up, Mandy!" " Answer me" "Why is it funny to hurt someone?" "We didn't think it was going to hurt anyone when we started." "It was just fun pretending to be a fake girl online and seeing what guys say." "Has anybody ever hurt you?" "You've never been hurt." "Do you know what the word "pariah" means," "Kaylie?" "Pariah?" "Avery?" "It means someone who's an outcast." "Yeah." "It's someone that... the beautiful people treat badly because they aren't beautiful." "Beautiful like you." "Avery?" "Hello?" "Rihanne, it's Jenny Mack." "Are the girls with you?" "Well, I just walked in, but I'm sure Avery's here." "Avery?" "The police are here." "I came home this morning to find our security system down, all the power was out, and Kaylie's gone, but her car, her purse, her cell phone are still here." "And there were messages from Brandi Kim." "She left them on her cell." "They think that Mandy was abducted last night." "Avery?" "She's not here either." "This can't be happening." "I kept thinking... what would it take to teach these girls a lesson," "to show them the harm that their jokes can cause?" "Get away from me, you disgusting creep!" "And then I remembered something my father used to say." "He'd say, "You couldn't know a person's life until you've walked in their shoes."" "And when I was little," "I thought that meant you had to put their shoes on." "And now I realize that he meant it in a figurative way." "You are as stupid as you are ugly." "Kaylie, stop it." "You really are so pretty." "You must be used to getting everything that you want." "John... when we played that stupid joke, you were just some guy online." "We didn't know anything about you." "So that makes it okay?" "No." "When we saw you at the airport, we felt really bad about what we did." "So bad, you put the video online for the whole world to see it." "So why'd you bring us here?" "So you can sleep with us?" "So you can finally experience having sex with something other than your hand?" "Kaylie..." "Stop saying that stuff!" "Even though you don't have control, you think you do." "I'm pretty sure that'll change soon enough." "John, whatever you have planned, it's not worth going to jail for." "The women here, they think they're better than men." "All women want is trips and jewelry and nice dinners, and then they want you to sleep on the couch while they sleep in your bed." "How is that fair?" "It only happens here." "In other parts of the world, women are grateful for everything that you give them, and they love you for your personality, not for your looks." "I told you he just wanted a female slave." "I did not!" "I would've treated her like a queen!" "And I would've taken her dancing and bought her flowers and made her breakfast in bed." "I think you would make a great husband." "But... you'll never get the chance if you kill us." "Is that what you want?" "A great husband?" "Someday." "I'm not gonna kill you." "Then what are you gonna do, John?" "Please let us go." "You'll see." "Did your daughter mention anything to you about this guy they met at the skate park, uh, Nick?" "No." "No, never." "Well, do you know anyone who might want to harm Avery or her friends?" "No." "For any reason?" "No." "I mean, Avery's been upset with Kaylie lately." "They've sort of been on the outs." "Why is that?" "Something about a prank that Kaylie was playing, some sort of secret blog." "A blog?" "Yeah." "Yeah, no, yeah, yeah," "I can bring all three-- All three tonight." "Just tell me when and where." "Yeah." "Okay." "He..." "Freakin' God." "Mandy, shut the hell up." "I hate you so much right now." "He's gonna kill us." "I just know it." "I'm not going down without a fight." "I'll rip his throat out if I get the chance." "We just need to wait for the right moment." "It's been taken down." "Well, maybe tech can roll back the site." "It's time to go." "Wait, where are you taking us?" "You'll see." "Please don't kill us." "Please?" "You're gonna live." "Just a very different life than the one you planned." "One where girls like you aren't the one in control." "All right, let's see 'em." "No!" "No!" "Don't touch me!" "Stop!" "Truck." "Good." "The other two?" "Where-Where's the money?" "We get the girls, and then you get paid." "That's the deal." "No, no, that isn't the deal." "I want it now, and then you can get the other two." "Unlock the car." "I'm taking the girls." "Be happy you get to live." "Let's go." "We got one." "We can't leave Kaylie!" "We have to go back!" "Two counts of prostitution, a few minor drug charges." "Petty hustler." "And there are no videos of him on the girls' blog?" "None that I saw." "Do we know where this guy hangs out?" "We're working on it now." "Thanks, Ray." "You got it." "Please!" "Please!" "Please..." "Schumaker." "They found your boy Nick." "He's on his way to the station." "Oh, great." "Ray, thank you." "I'll be here." "He's gonna come back and kill us." "I know he is." "Stop." "The detective, she's smart." "She's gonna find us." "What do you think those men are doing to Kaylie right now?" "Thinking about that stuff isn't gonna help anything." "We need to focus on how we're gonna get out of here." "Why would they take her?" "Her mom has money." "Maybe for ransom?" "Those men are sex traffickers." "Was trying to sell us into prostitution." "That's why I need you to focus on how we're gonna get out of here." "John, I know you're standing at the door." "Open up." "I have another box." "Just..." "Just leave it." "I saw you holding your arm." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Can I have my box, please?" "But you don't look fine." "You're bloody." "What the hell happened?" "That looks nasty." "Please go away!" "Let me drive you to the doctor." "I can't go to a doctor!" "I just need it to stop bleeding so I can go..." "I have to take care of something." "What do you mean, you can't go to the doctor?" "Were you doing something illegal?" "John, listen." "I've got friends that can help you." "They don't ask questions, they don't go to the cops." "What kind of friends?" "All kinds." "Anything you need done." "Why don't you tell me how you got cut?" "John, listen." "Whatever it is, I can help." "I need..." "I need to find someone that can get rid of two girls." "Kill them?" "Sell them." "I don't want them dead." "I want them sold." "I had a deal with some guys I found underground, but it didn't work out." "What do you mean, "underground"?" "Tor." "Silkroad." "Darknet." "It doesn't matter." "They were gonna give me ten grand apiece, but they scammed me." "If you know someone that can do that, that can take them, then I can split the money with you." "Yeah, I know someone." "He'll want to see them first." "That's, that's fine." "I just want to get it over with." "Where are they?" "There're not here, but I can bring you to them." "Okay." "I'm gonna grab my cell, call them first, make sure we can bring them tonight." "He gave me a couple bucks, asked me to help him play a prank on his niece." "So, what else can you tell me about him?" "Nick... listen," "I think you could use a friend on the force, and that's me." "But I need your help." "Or I can charge you as an accessory." "All right, look." "I met the guy at a house out in Ralston." "I might still have his address in my phone." "Find it." "You hear that?" "Someone's coming." "Where are we going?" "You'll see." "Hey, bitch, don't even think about it." "Don't even think about it." "Let's go." "Come on." "Get out!" "Let's get the hell out!" "Mandy, get her gun!" " Come on, let's go!" " Stop!" "Avery!" "Avery!" "Come on!" "Mandy!" "911." "What's your emergency?" "Hi." "Um, my name is Avery Lindstrom." "Mandy Kim and I have been kidnapped, and we're hiding in a warehouse, I don't know where, but he has a gun." "You said "he."" "Is there one person or more than one?" "Shh!" "He's coming." "He just left, but we're hiding," "I don't know, in some room or something, I don't know." "Mrs. Lindstrom," "Nick gave us information on the man who hired him, so we're checking out his house now." "Are the girls there?" "No, but we're combing the place..." "Detective?" "Detective Schumaker, I've got Avery Lindstrom, one of the missing girls, on the line." "One of our girls?" "Just give me a second, okay?" "Don't go away." "Can dispatch put the call through to me?" "Copy that." "You're connected, Schumaker." "Avery?" "Yes." "This is Detective Schumaker." "Are you hurt?" "No, and neither is Mandy, but Kaylie's gone." "Some men took her, and this phone belongs to a woman he killed." "Okay, honey, now, listen." "We're sending units out to you now, but I need you to stay on the phone a little longer." "I'm going to patch you through to your mother." "Hold on." "Mrs. Lindstrom." "Yes?" "I have Avery on the phone for you." " Hello?" " Avery?" "Mom?" "Avery, honey, are you okay?" "Did he hurt you?" "No, Mom, I'm okay." "I'm so sorry." "Honey, it's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay, honey." "I love you." "Iloveyou,too ." "Is it possible for you two girls to get out of the building?" "We don't know where he is?" "We'll try." "Keep the phone on, and if it's not safe, stay where you are." "Okay." "Keep going!" "Avery!" "Hey!" "They're here!" " I've got the girls." " What is your 10-20?" "31225 Industrial Park Road West." "Suspect is still inside." "Shots fired, my location!" "10-76 sending in." "Stay down." "Help is on the way." "Schumaker." "Heidemann." "Hey." "Hey." "That's how we found him." "Pretty sure it's John." "Can't tell by looking at his face." "Close-range gunshot wound to the head?" "Self-inflicted." "Give forensics a couple of hours before you call the coroner." "I'm gonna visit Avery at the hospital." "Hopefully, we can figure out who took the other girl." "You got it." "So, Avery, you said you saw two men take Kaylie." "Did you see anything else in the area?" "Did you see their faces?" "Avery!" "Oh, Avery!" "Mom!" "Oh, honey!" "Oh, my God!" "I love you." "It's been seven months, and no one has seen or heard from Kaylie." "The police found nothing in John's stuff that would tell them who the men were that took her." "They believe he found them on the Darknet, but that's all they know." "Suddenly, everyone was so interested in John, who he was, why he did what he did." "People become more interested in you after you do something horrible." "It's so hard to believe." "I mean, the John I knew, he would never do something like this." "He would never hurt a fly." "He was so shy and kind." "He..." "This was the last thing we expected from him." "The media never reported how we really met John." "They said he found us using social media." "The reality is, we found him." "We preyed on him." "If you poke a lion with a stick, is it his fault for attacking you?" "I'm not saying any of us deserved what he did." "Nothing gives you the right to hurt someone else, even if they bully you." "But that goes for Kaylie, too." "She had no right to hurt him either, and if she hadn't, maybe she'd still be here." "♪♪"
