Spoilers are unmarked as per policy for Recap pages. You Have Been Warned.

Written By Julie Martin and Warren Leight

Directed By Michael Slovis

A young boy abandoned in New York's Times Square leads detectives to a locked basement where more victims await rescue, and a litany of decades-old cold kidnapping cases.

Tropes

• Shout-Out: Possibly to the novel Room, which also has a young boy with an odd way of talking because his mother (though in the episode he doesn't know which of the women is his mother) was kidnapped as a child and after being born both were hidden in a tiny room.
