- Yeah, my Mom would notice.

- Hey.

Okay, please let me help.

- What, do I just take one?

- Two.

We can find out more tomorrow.

[ siren passing ]

- She came to me for therapy,

back when I was in residency.

I've seen a lot

of anxious, depressed kids.

I never met anyone like her.

She...

just knew things

about everyone she met.

She never realized

how much it scared other people.

I had an idea of how

she could control

her interactions with others.

I, uh--

I encouraged her to go online.

First, it was wonderful.

She was

making connections and...

growing up to be

the most beautiful girl.

That's when she met a boy...

or at least

someone claiming to be.

They never met in real life.

He told her

he had a crush on her,

wanted her

to send him a picture.

You can guess what kind.

She just wanted to have

someone in her life so badly.

- And this boy, whoever it was,

he was the one that leaked it

to the rest of the school.

- The things they said

to her after that, I--

In person, it was bad,

but online...

just too much.

I can still hear her screaming.

- [ wailing ]

[ sobbing ]

[ sobbing fades ]

- So what--what happened?

I mean, how did she--

- Her grandmother

lost faith in us...

said we didn't understand.

She took Morgan away.

Three weeks later,

Morgan was dead.

- Okay, uh,

well, her grandmother, then,

I mean, who is she?

- She was some kind

of fortuneteller.

- Where did she take Morgan?

- Said they were gonna find

someplace safe

for people like them.

- People like them?

- That's all I know.

- Ah, I'm so glad you're here.

Look, I--I don't know

what to do.

- Okay, he--he's--

- I'm just happy you're safe.

We'll figure this out,

I promise,

but right now,

we really have to hurry.
