Spotting suspicious clues\u2014including Mark’s rehearsed lies, his sister Vanessa wearing Emily\u2019s cardigan, and a torn envelope regarding a lake house property transfer\u2014the mother, a former prosecutor, investigates further and hears her daughter\u2019s weak voice coming from a padlocked garage. Rather than confronting Mark alone, she discreetly contacts Detective Ruiz, who arrives just in time to breach the garage and find a bruised, bound, and heavily drugged Emily. Emily points officers to her hidden phone containing recorded footage of Mark and Vanessa forcing her to read scripted statements and sign over her inherited lake house.
