Entry 1: Background on Missing/ First episode

"Missing" Characters: Becca Winstone, mother of Michael and wife of CIA Agent Paul Winstone.


The first episode begins when Michael was a little boy, on vacation with his dad Paul. As they were getting ready to leave and go back home Michael forgot his soccer ball inside so he ran to get it, meanwhile the car his father Paul was in blew up. The story then continues 10 years later. Becca realizes her son is all grown up and that it might be time for him to venture out on his own. When her son approaches her about studying abroad she is first hesitant to let him go since it's all the way in Rome but she soon comes around and allows him to go but says he needs to text or call several times a day ensuring that he is okay. When Michael doesn't call or text for a week, Becca knows something has happened to her boy. So she takes a plane to Rome and soon realizes that her son has been kidnapped but when she arrives in her sons dorm there is a man in there with a gun. Becca and the guy get into a confrontation, and she ends up killing him to protect herself and then runs out quickly so she isn't arrested. Becca then turns to a former lover Giancarlo Rossi, who recognizes the man she killed. After she tracks down Michael's girlfriend, Francesca, in a bar, seeking any leads to where Michael could be. Meanwhile, CIA deputy chief Dax Miller tells his team of young agents to find out anything they could on Becca and what she has done in Rome. After evading four more armed men by jumping on a motorcycle, Becca returns to the bar that she found Francesca in, only to find her dead in the back alley. Becca then goes to Giancarlo's place where he helps her with her wounds. After looking for clues in her photos, she spots a video camera in one of the pictures that leads to footage of Michael's kidnapping. Becca gets on a train to France to look for the company that owns the van used in the kidnapping. On the train Becca gets into another confrontation with a young CIA agent and holds her out the train demanding where her son is. Just before the agent is beheaded by another upcoming train, they fall back in the train and a needle puncture knocks out Becca. Becca is brought back to the CIA substation in Paris and has a sit down with Miller. She explains her life and how she grew up in foster homes. Miller gives her three hours before she must leave the country (so she can look for her son.) Becca finds the warehouse where Michael had been taken. The secret code they have together meaning "I love you" had been written on the wall as a sign of him being there. There is then another gun battle with the guards. She escapes but calls Miller before she leaves so he can locate the place. Becca looks in draws for any clues of where Michael could be and ends up finding an envelope of photos of Michael starting from when he was a little boy. This episode ends with Becca pausing on a bridge above the Seine before she is shot, then falls into the river as the envelope of photos float around her.
