Where's Molly

Molly tells her father that she is going out for supplies for her infant sister, Layla. Her father objects, saying that Molly was out all day, working at the diner. Molly notes how she buys drugs and alcohol for her parents; her mother is passed out on the couch, and Molly fears that neither of them can take care of Layla. Her father lets her go, telling her to buy cigarettes and beer. They are in Reaper Canyon, Montana, and Molly comments that her mother was a valedictorian in high school, but she gave up her dreams when she started taking drugs and married Molly’s father, Raymond Devereaux. At the store, Molly finds Mario, the shop owner, who expresses concern for Molly. He knows that Molly’s father abuses her, and Molly worries that her father abuses Layla, as well. Mario offers to help, but Molly tells him that her parents have evidence of her buying drugs and alcohol for them, which they will give to the police if Molly tries to leave. Mario offers to pay for Layla’s diapers, and he promises that he will find a way to help Molly.

Molly’s father enters with a frightening man, and her father takes the products from the counter, telling Molly to go with his friend. Molly goes with the man at first, then sprints away through the store. Her father and his friend try to catch her, and Mario calls the police. Molly’s father’s friend points a gun at Mario, telling Molly that he will shoot Mario if she does not come with them. Molly acquiesces, and she is attacked by three additional men in the parking lot, who put Molly in the back of their van.

Molly hides her journal under a floorboard, explaining how she is being held against her will by human traffickers and rapists. She is planning to escape, desperate to get away from Francesca and Rocco, the people running the trafficking operation. Molly survived the “Culling,” in which the traffickers hunted women for sport, prizing those who survived unharmed. Noting the silence, Molly estimates that it is around 2:00 am, and she sneaks out of her room, prepared to kill anyone who stops her. There should be a guard at the front door, but instead Molly runs into Rio, a young Puerto Rican man Francesca hired. Rio kidnaps women for Francesca, and it is implied that Francesca is sexually abusing him. Rio has a reputation for letting women go during kidnappings, and Molly hopes that he will let her go, as well. Molly explains how she needs to find Layla, asking Rio if he has a sister. Rio has a sister, but he notes how Molly would risk his sister’s safety if she told anyone about Francesca’s operation. Rio lets Molly leave, but he tells her that he will not help her further. Molly flees into the forest.

A man called Cage is bringing two bodies to Paladin Farm for disposal, covering for his coworker, Eli, who tells him that the woman at Paladin Farm is attractive. Cage is disgusted by Eli, and he hangs up after Eli confirms that he will report back to Legion. At the farm, Cage feels intimidated by the woman who greets him, and he brings the two bodies into the barn for dismemberment. When the woman turns to face Cage, he recognizes her as Molly, and she recognizes him. Cage comments that he helped Molly fake her death nine years prior, moving her to Alaska with a new identity. He is angry with Molly for ignoring his instructions, but Molly tells him that she hired him for a job, which he completed, and she can do as she pleases. Cage realizes that he is only angry with Molly because of his attraction to her, commenting that they previously had a sexual relationship, which Cage wants to restart.

Molly is upset that Legion sent Cage, but she remembers having sex with Cage fondly. She is both nervous and aroused in his presence, and he stays to watch her dismember the bodies. Cage tells her that one man was acquitted of sexually assaulting his grandson, while the other is the judge who acquitted him. Cage asks about Molly’s life, and she tells him to call her Marie, which is her new name. Molly explains how she bought the farm to come back to Montana, having fled to get away from Francesca and Rocco, and she decided to use the farm to help Legion. Legion is both the head of the organization and the name of the organization for which Molly works, and it is the sister organization to Z. While Z disrupts trafficking operations, Legion kills off people it finds guilty of sexual crimes. Cage says that he does not work for Legion, noting the store that he owns, Black Portal, but he helps Legion when he can. Molly feeds body parts to her pigs, who are named, Dill, Chili, Garlic, Paprika, and Oregano. She indicates for Cage to leave. Cage leaves, and Molly receives a call from a woman asking if the bodies are handled.

Molly hears a knock on her door, making her panic, and she wonders if the police have discovered that she killed her father or that she kidnapped Layla, or if Francesca’s men have finally found her. Grabbing her gun, she checks her security cameras to find Cage on her porch. She opens the door, and Cage enters without asking, giving Molly a bouquet of tiger lilies and a DVD of The Silence of the Lambs. Cage opens a new bottle of wine and makes popcorn, settling in with Molly on her couch and massaging her feet. Molly is charmed, and they acknowledge how they missed each other.

Molly visits Cage at Black Portal after the two text each other frequently throughout the week. Cage is a good salesman, but Black Portal is a front for his real occupation: helping people disappear. Silas, Cage’s employee, comments that Cage is in love with Molly, revealing that Cage has always hoped that Molly would appear in his shop one day. Molly says that she and Cage barely know each other, but Silas implies that they are soulmates. Cage invites Molly to the back room of the shop, where he is making fake documents for a man who is about to go to prison for killing the person who sexually assaulted and killed his daughter. Cage offers to take Molly out for a beer and pizza, and Molly tells him that she is allergic to beer but wants the pizza, crediting Cage for her love of pizza.

Molly runs through the forest for 24 hours after fleeing Francesca’s place. She is sunburnt and aching, but she is determined to find Layla. Finding some homes, Molly runs up to a man mowing his lawn, asking him for help. The man, Devin, and his wife, Latoya, help Molly into their house, giving her aloe and lemonade and calling the police. Molly realizes that both Devin and Latoya will be in danger if Rocco and his men find her here, and she bolts from the house. Avoiding the oncoming police car, Molly notices that she is not in Montana because of the different mountain ranges. She finds a young boy who tells her they are in Oregon, and Molly asks for directions to a bus station or downtown area. The boy points, and Molly leaves, thinking how the boy, too, is a possible victim for Rocco.
