Faith thought
you were asleep.
Jason, where you been?
Walking, drinking
It's 3:00 in the morning.
What I said before
I mean it.
I don't care if it
makes you mad, Faith.
I'm not mad.
Not anymore.
Dakota Marie,
we gotta go, baby girl.
Come on, Peanut Butter,
get your shoes on.
What'd you do, Mama?
What I had to, baby,
you know that, right?
Don't just stand there gawking.
I packed your pink bag.
We gotta go, baby.
Come on
It's amazing
how much you can say
without saying anything, huh?
It's actually kind of cool.
You know? They got a shorthand
when they work
and a shorthand when they fight.
It's like a pissed-off
Zen style.
Why are they fighting?
Annie charged
that psychopathic fugitive
the one that shot Sam
right when he was
reloading his M-4.
I mean, it was ridiculous.
I saw it.
It's insane.
Annie knew
she was gonna make it.
But she almost didn't.
But she did.
But she almost didn't.
What, you got a box
of Jimmy Godfrey trading cards
at home, Marco?
Actually, yeah,
they're right next to
your Annie Frost cards, Daisy.
You know they're watching us.
Who?
Marco, Daisy, Luke.
They're staring at us.
Did you talk to them
about my father?
Annie, come on.
You know me better than that.
You keep putting yourself
in Jeopardy.
I just want you
to get squared away, Annie.
'Cause whatever he's done
cut him out of my life
a long time ago.
Annie, I haven't
said anything to anyone.
And your father's
not my concern, you are.
You have any idea where he is?
If I knew where
your father was, I'd arrest him.
And I hope you'd do the same.
All right.
Here she comes.
Act casual.
We got a hot one
out of Montgomery County.
Killer's on the lam
with her daughter.
Me and Jimmy are fine, so y'all
can stop talking about us.
Faith Maples, 32 year old
from Madisonville, Texas.
She was living in Conroe with
her boyfriend Jason Randolph.
Conroe PD says
she skied up with her daughter
after she shot and killed
Randolph two days ago.
That's the most recent
photo of the girl.
Conroe PD
found it in the bedroom.
She looks five, six years old.
Dakota Marie Maples.
She's got
her mother's last name.
Was the victim
the girl's father?
Well, an officer
spoke to a neighbor.
He said that
they'd just moved in,
a couple months ago,
with Randolph.
She's not enrolled in school.
Nothing there.
I'll get Dakota Marie's
birth certificate,
see if the father's listed.
Yeah, well, Conroe put a BOLO
out on Randolph's Monte Carlo.
Nothing so far.
Maples is a rolling stone
she could have
contacts all over
the state of Texas.
Yeah, but she's got no roots.
No tax income.
No W-4s in her name.
She's not even been married.
No job? Somebody's
paying her bills.
Who's she turning to?
No siblings.
Maybe her parents?
Yeah, parents divorced in '84.
Mother Penny Maples.
She lives in Madisonville.
Father Shep Maples
is a trucker out of Huntsville.
So we divide and conquer.
We hit the mom and dad
simultaneously.
No.
No, I want to stop by
Randolph's place first.
I want to learn everything I can
about the daughter.
Okay.
The road's no place for a kid.
Bringing her in safe
is my top priority.
Come on, Daisy,
we'll take the inside.
I guess that leaves me
on the outside.
Come on, Luke.
Home, sweet home.
Cleanest room in the house.
Look at all these
expensive clothes in here.
Looks like Maples
doted on her daughter.
You ain't kiddin'.
Check this out.
Dakota Marie's life is
documented month by month,
from the time she was born.
Halloween and Christmas get
their own special section.
Horseback riding, ballet
those are expensive hobbies.
On a shoestring budget.
So where's Maples
getting her money?
Maybe that's why
she shot Randolph.
Kid gets too expensive,
he cuts her off.
So if he was her sugar daddy,
she's gonna need a new one.
Wouldn't be the first
fugitive with daddy issues.
Annie Frost.
Copy that.
Thanks.
Daisy, come on.
Highway Patrol just found
Randolph's Monte Carlo
broken down on I-45.
Maples is headed north.
Could mean she's heading into
Madisonville or Huntsville.
She's running
to mom or running to dad.
Contact the Southern
district of Texas.
Tell them we're on our way,
we may need assistance.
I'll take Luke
and cover Maples' dad.
Come on, let's go.
Uh, Marco, Daisy,
we'll cover Maples' mom.
Divide and conquer, huh?
Hey, Daisy
Jimmy say anything to you?
About what?
About me?
My family?
Why would he talk to me
about your family?
I don't know.
Whatever it is, I'm sure
you guys'll work it out.
Yeah.
Sure we will.
Let's go see
if Faith ran to mommy.
Betsy Beyers.
What?
That was this girl
in the fifth grade
I used to
Chase around the playground
and, you know,
shoot spitballs at.
You got a point?
Come on you and Annie?
Don't make me stop.
Now, come on.
Gentlemen.
Living room's clear.
Kitchen's clear.
Told you Faith isn't here!
Sit down.
U.
S.
Marshals!
Open the door!
Penny Maples, is your
daughter inside?
What?! No!
Mind if we take a look?
When is the last time
that you talked to her?
Not since five years ago.
Five years or two months?
Faith mailed me
that picture two months ago.
Before that, it was five years,
when she called to tell me
that she was pregnant.
She wanted to come home
and visit for Christmas,
and introduce me to her fiance.
This fiance got a name?
George.
I didn't get his last name.
She made this big to-do
about the whole thing
and never even showed up.
So what'd she do, anyway?
She shot
and killed her boyfriend.
Who's the boy?
My son Ned.
Where does he live?
He died, not long after
that picture was taken.
I forgot to lock up my gun.
My wife Penny
she went next door,
left Faith and Ned alone.
I heard a gunshot and
ran back in, and Faith had
Shep's gun in her hand.
She said it was an accident.
Penny could never look
at our daughter after that,
so I had to take her
on the road with me.
It was a good thing
Faith loved trucks.
Then, suddenly, two months ago,
she sends me that picture.
First I'd ever seen
my granddaughter.
I'll tell you the truth.
If she showed up here tomorrow,
I wouldn't call you.
Well, I respect
your honesty, sir.
But this isn't just
about your daughter.
Your granddaughter is in danger.
Found this on his nightstand.
MoneyGram receipt.
You sent Faith $300 last night?
Your granddaughter, Shep.
Help us save her life.
Where did you wire the money to?
Thanks for the ride.
Here it is.
Here's the bathroom.
See? I told you
we'd make it.
All right.
I'm going to get
Papa Shep's money
and the bathroom key.
You wait here.
Guess what, Peanut Butter.
You love me.
I love you, too, Mama.
I'm picking up a MoneyGram.
Name's Faith Maples.
You got some I.
D.
?
That's $300 minus
what you got here.
My daughter needs
to use the restroom.
You got a key or something?
Restroom's not for the public.
Well, who is it for?
You have a nice day, ma'am.
Excuse me.
I couldn't help but overhear.
I've got a room.
No.
A bathroom.
Next door at the motel.
You're more than welcome
to use it.
So Maples shoots her baby
brother when she's nine,
then mommy dearest
sends her packing.
Don't hear about moms
doing stuff like that,
shipping their kids off.
Yeah, Penny couldn't
even look at Maples
after the accident
with the gun.
You think there's
something more to it?
The gun accident?
Like what?
I don't know like,
maybe it wasn't an accident.
She sent her kid away.
You need a license to drive,
fish and get married,
but not to be a parent.
We got to find Dakota Marie.
Yeah, that's her.
She was here about an hour ago.
And she was with a little girl,
probably about six years old?
Guess so.
She spent 20 bucks
on coloring books and crayons.
Said her kid needed
to use the restroom.
And that's her?
Couldn't say.
She waited outside.
I told her mother
she couldn't use the restroom.
It's for employees only.
So you never saw
the little girl.
No.
But a customer did offer
to let them use the bathroom
in his motel room next door.
His motel room?
What'd this Good Samaritan
look like?
Six-two.
Scruffy.
Next time,
let the kid use the restroom.
Our Good Samaritan
is in room 115.
Has a Crown Vic
registered to the room.
He hasn't checked out,
but the car is gone.
U.
S.
Marshals.
Open up.
Go.
We got a body.
Two shots to the chest.
Why would Maples kill him?
Maybe he tried
to hurt Dakota Marie.
And she went Mama Bear
to protect her cub.
Someone's been
clipping coupons.
Yeah.
There's a coupon missing.
You think Maples is going shopping?
I don't know.
Let's see if we n, uh, drum up
yesterday's Texas Times.
Put a BOLO on his Crown Vic,
and tell the S.
O.
and DPS
I want a checkpoint
on every road
going out of this town.
Baby, you want
to play hide-and-seek?
Yes!
Get down on the floor
where I can't see you, okay?
You're not counting.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
Ready or not, here I come.
So I'm Faith Maples.
I've got Dakota Marie with me,
but I keep her out of sight.
Why?
Maybe you're hiding something.
Maybe Dakota Marie is sick.
We don't even know she's alive.
No one's actually seen the kid.
My dad wired me $300
I got to make it last,
but I still spend 20 bucks
on coloring books
for my daughter.
You dote on her.
Ballet
and horseback-riding lessons.
Maybe I want
my daughter to have
the loving mother I never had.
Your own mother sent you away.
Yeah, because she blamed me
for my brother's dying.
Made me feel like it
was all my fault.
Bureau of Statistics
doesn't have a birth certificate
for Dakota Marie Maples.
What, like she doesn't exist?
Could also not be
her real name.
Wait.
Maybe
maybe Maples
is keeping Dakota hidden
because it's not
her real daughter.
You think Maples kidnapped her?
Well, no birth certificate,
keeping her out of sight
it adds up.
Okay.
Run Dakotaarie's infand
otos through Missing Children.
Got it.
Diner down the road still had
yesterday's paper
in their Dumpster.
Good work, Luke.
Missing coupon is from Big World
in College Station.
costumes for kids.
We have to get to that store.
Yeah.
So if, uh,
Jimmy's done avoiding me,
tell him we're going shopping.
I like this one and this one.
And this one.
You want to be a
princess, baby?
Yes!
All right, hold still.
That'll fit you great.
Can we go trick-or-treating?
Of course, you can.
Ma'am, is everything all right?
You need some help?
Spoke to the store manager.
Thinks she spotted Faith Maples
inside with her daughter,
Dakota Marie.
She's six years old.
We don't want
a hostage situation,
so if you get the chance
to separate Maples from her kid,
don't miss it.
Okay.
It's not her.
It's not her.
Stand down.
I'm sorry.
I blew it.
Hey.
It happens.
Jimmy, we got something.
That's her right there.
Maples used the pay phone.
We need to find out who she called.
I'll call Marco
and tell him to dump
the pay phone's records.
There's more.
Check it out.
Thanks.
Where's Dakota Marie?
Who?
The kid.
What kid?
She's talking to herself.
She's got
a little girl's backpack,
little princess costume,
but no little kid.
Got to be kidding me.
There's no Dakota Marie.
Maples made up the
existence of her kid?
This is a game changer.
We're dealing with somebody
who's mentally disturbed.
Maybe that's why she
killed Jason Randolph
and the guy in the motel.
Maybe they didn't want
to play along with her fantasy.
And they told her
the kid didn't exist.
She didn't like to hear that.
But Maples had a whole box
of photos of Dakota Marie
from the time she was born.
Where did she get them?
And who's the girl
in the pictures?
Guys, Maples bought two
things in the store
a princess costume and this.
"World's Best Dad"?
Great.
Now we're looking for
an imaginary father, too?
He isn't imaginary.
Only call made from
To a George Ashcroft in Harvey.
George?
Maples was engaged to a man
named George five years ago.
Exactly.
So I pulled
the guy's DMV records.
George Ashcroft got in a car
accident on December 25, 2005.
The night Maples and her fianc�
were on their way
to visit Maples' mother.
George Ashcroft was her fianc�.
Accident could be the reason
why they never showed up.
And get this.
The D.
A.
charged Ashcroft
with involuntary manslaughter.
Manslaughter?
What?
He kill another driver?
Not a driver,
a passenger.
Maples was
eight months pregnant.
She lost her kid.
They were able to prove
that Ashcroft was talking
on his cell phone
during the time of the accident;
They put him away for a year.
So if Maples called George,
that could be
where she's headed next.
Her call only lasted
six seconds.
She must have hung up on him.
So if Maples didn't
want to talk to him,
maybe she doesn't want him
to know that she's coming.
Get me an address.
We got to move.
Faith?
Surprise, Daddy!
George.
We're home.
Dakota Marie and I
picked this out for you.
You like it?
It's
It's very nice, Faith.
Oh, and Dakota Marie
got a princess costume.
She wants you to take
her trick-or-treating.
Right, Dakota Marie?
You know what got me through
that year in jail?
Praying that you would
forgive me.
Forgive you for what?
I can't take back what I did.
What are you
going on about, George?
But maybe this is
A chance to help you.
George, I don't need help.
I have to show you
something, Faith.
Come with me.
What are you doing?
Dakota Marie, behave yourself.
Don't listen to him, Mama!
Please, Faith.
I got to help you remember.
Remember what?
We're a family.
I haven't seen you
in five years.
We're together now.
Please, Faith, just follow me.
Stop, Mama, stop!
I need to show you something.
Her bedroom.
No, don't go in
there, Mama! Please!
Don't you remember the accident?
Please, Mama, make him stop!
The hospital? The police?
Don't leave me, Mama!
Don't leave me!
George, Dakota Marie needs me!
Faith, look at me.
Look at me!
Dakota Marie is dead.
No!
No!
I had to, Mama.
Dakota Marie, where you going?
My bedroom.
But, baby, Mama's not mad.
Dakota Marie, where are you?
Where are you?
Got one down over here.
Living room's clear.
Kitchen's clear.
Bedroom's clear.
Bedroom clear.
House is locked down.
All right.
You know what,
it looks like Ashcroft was
leading Maples into this room.
It's Dakota Marie's old nursery.
Before they had
the car accident.
Ashcroft was probably trying
to tell Maples the truth.
If I'm Faith Maples,
I want my daughter back.
But everybody keeps telling me
that she isn't real.
And when they do, I kill them.
You leave a pink
backpack behind.
Could mean she didn't
need it anymore.
Because my fantasy's over.
The father of my child
finally got to me,
finally convinced me
that it's all just a lie.
Okay, so what do you do now?
Guys, guys.
We got a name for the
little girl in the pictures.
Found it in the backpack.
Her real name's Bella Thomason.
Where's Riverdale Elementary?
Bella?
Remember me?
You gave me cookies.
They were chocolate chip.
Yeah, that's right.
Your mama asked me
to pick you up today.
Why?
Oh, well
'cause she's-she's not
feeling so good.
I got this for you.
It's nice, right?
Well, come on.
Hello.
Mrs.
Thomason?
This is Annie Frost.
I'm with the U.
S.
Marshals.
U.
S.
Marshals?
What's going on?
Do you know a woman
by the name of Faith Maples?
Uh, Faith Maples.
Yes.
We were in a Fender bender.
When was that?
Couple months ago.
Why?
This may sound strange,
but was Bella with you
in the car when it happened?
Yes.
Is Bella with you now?
I'm picking her up from school.
Okay.
Faith Maples had photographs
of your daughter.
Oh, my God.
She's the one?
Someone broke into our house
and stole Bella's photo albums
right after the accident.
Mrs.
Thomason?
Mrs.
Fielding,
have you seen Bella?
You want to play hide-and-seek?
Okay.
All right.
Get down on the floor
where I can't see you.
Start counting.
Where are you?!
Bella!
Bella!
Bella!
Bella Thomason
she's a kindergarten student.
Have you seen her?
All right, thank you.
If you can think of anything
that'll help us find her,
please give us a call.
And you're sure
this is the woman
that you rear-ended?
Faith Maples?
That's her.
She kept saying I was on my
cell phone when I hit her.
I wasn't.
Did she talk to Bella?
Oh oh, God.
I let her watch Bella
while I called the police.
She gave her cookies.
Please, find my daughter.
We're going to.
You hear me?
I'm gonna find her.
I'll send out an AMBER Alert.
Car accident must have been
what set Maples off.
That's how she met Bella,
who would've been the same age
as her daughter
if she hadn't died.
And she accused Bella's mom
of talking on her cell phone
when she hit her,
just like George was doing
five years ago
when they crashed.
Got to find Maples before
she blurs the lines any further.
But you love peanut
butter pancakes.
I'm allergic to peanuts.
Okay.
What do you like?
Strawberry waffles
with whipped cream.
A strawberry waffle
with whipped cream.
When are we going to see
my mommy?
I told you to stop
asking me that, didn't I?
I just need to go
to the bathroom.
You stay here.
Hey, kid.
You all right?
What's wrong?
Sh-She took me from my mommy.
Whoa, whoa.
Who? Who took you?
Where's the little girl
in the princess dress?
Where'd she go?
Has anybody seen my little girl?
Dakota Marie?
Dakota Marie!
Dakota Marie!
Dakota Marie!
Dakota Marie!
Yeah, she's right here.
Yeah, Bella Thomason.
She says somebody took her
from school today.
Look what you made me do,
Dakota Marie!
My name's Bella.
Your name is not Bella.
It is Dakota Marie!
Fence took off in the truckers rig.
Her dad says she knows
how to drive one.
Please tell me the victim's
truck had a tracker.
Yep, the transport company's
sending Daisy the download.
Hold on.
Yeah.
We gotta figure out where Maples
is headed with Bella.
Annie, check this out.
I've got her route.
Oh, Maples is backtracking.
She's headed in the direction of
Madisonville.
Back to Mom.
So, Maples had that whole box of
photos of Bella.
But she only sent one
to her mother;
She didn't send one to her father.
Why?
It should've been
the other way around.
I mean, she kept in touch with
her father, not her mom.
But her mom blamed her for
killing her little brother.
You know, she sent her away
right after she shot him.
But the dad blamed himself.
So if Maples can prove that she
can take care of Bella
there's no way she could've
killed her brother on purpose.
Her little brother in that
photograph Ned
he looked about
five years old, right?
Same age as Bella Thomason.
So, Bella Thomason
is Maples' second chance.
The same way her own kid
would've been
five years ago
if the accident hadn't happened.
I tell you what, it's warped,
but it kind of makes sense.
Let's go.
Is she okay?
She hasn't said a word
since you all got here.
She's just shy.
First visit and all
God, it's good to see you.
I'm a good mother, you know?
I know you are, baby.
Why are you telling me that?
I know you think I did it on
purpose, but how could I
take such good care of my
daughter, if that was true?
You're talking about Ned.
It was an accident.
You sent me away.
I know, baby.
And I am so sorry
for how I made you feel.
I did the best I could.
You can stay here
as long as you want, Faith.
I'll make up the beds.
I know you got yourself
into some trouble.
But whatever happened before
today, it doesn't matter.
A helicopter?
Mama, you called the police?
No, I would never do
Dakota Marie, get up.
It's time to go.
Come with your mama.
You're not my mommy.
No!
Faith?
Whose baby is that?
No, stop!
Faith, what did you do?
I didn't do anything!
Faith, you have got to take
that girl back Shut up!
Okay.
Come on.
There's a big rig parked in
front of her mother's house.
She's running!
Bring us around.
Let's cut her off.
Put your seat belt on,
Peanut Butter.
Guess what, Peanut Butter?
I love you.
And I know you love me, too.
We're all gonna be a family
again, okay, baby?
We got
the truck's frequency yet?
Faith Maples, this is Annie
Frost of the U.
S.
Marshals.
Stop the truck, before something
happens you can't take back.
I know how much
you love Dakota Marie.
Just let us be, please.
Holy!
Take me down.
Close as you can get.
Faith, you got to stop the truck;
The bridge is blocked up ahead.
Faith, Faith, you're gonna kill
Dakota Marie!
Bella, come with me.
No
Dakota Marie?
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Dakota Marie!
I got you, Bella.
I got you.
No!
Dakota Marie!
No!
Hold on tight.
Look at me; don't look down.
Save me!
Everything's gonna be okay.
You're gonna see
your mommy real soon.
