[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Found Season 2 Episode 14 “Missing While Matched.”]
Has Margaret’s (Kelli Williams) son come dwelling? That appears to be the case on Discovered, however we’re nonetheless ready for that DNA take a look at.
Jamie (Parker Daniel Queenan), or not less than the younger man saying he’s Margaret son who was taken when he was a toddler, is now working at M&A — however he’s going to have protocols in place, since he’s been caught snooping round. He and Margaret additionally go to the bus station from which he was taken collectively (he bought the worker there to carry the restraining order towards her), and he assures her his kidnapper gained’t take one other youngster. “They wished me. Simply me. And I gained’t let you know who they’re. I can’t. Please cease asking me,” he says. (That matches with what Margaret has realized: It was somebody near the household, as a result of that particular person was in a position to steal his toy prepare from his bed room days after he was taken.) As he walks away to take some area, she calls him by his center title, and he turns; he beforehand remarked that it’s simpler to recollect a faux title if it’s a part of an actual one. This means that his kidnapper had him going by his center title all these years.
Beneath, Williams discusses the very difficult scenario Margaret’s in proper now, the questions on Jamie, and extra.
Discuss filming the scene of Margaret and Jamie on the bus station — it had been some time since we’d seen her there due to the restraining order.
Kelli Williams: She couldn’t go in, and that was so torturous for her to not be capable to, that’s the place she form of fed her – it’s virtually like she simply had the trauma bond that she had with the positioning of the kidnapping or so she thought that that was the positioning of it. I believe it utterly derails Margaret the concept that she will be able to’t be in there as a result of it’s been her safety blanket, it’s been her neuroses, it’s been all of these issues. So having the ability to then lastly be there with him in that area was… He’s such a stunning actor, too. It was actually enjoyable to work with him.
On the finish, he says he wants area and walks away, and Margaret calls him Nicholas —
He turns. I noticed that he used his center title. Sure, there was that second. Oh, yeah. That was loopy.

That looks as if a clue that he’s truly Jamie, however till there’s a definitive DNA take a look at, I really feel like there’s nonetheless that query, proper?
Proper, utterly. And she or he was not keen to go there.
We additionally get that flashback to the press convention, and that’s once we see somebody exterior holding Jamie’s prepare.
Yeah, that was so loopy. I like after they begin to plant these seeds of it being any person that she is aware of who has been watching.
What are you able to say about that person who we see on the finish of these flashbacks? Is that one thing that’s going to be persevering with, like we’re getting little bits and items?
Sure, we’ll completely get little bits and items. There are form of Easter eggs which are type of planted all through round it, which is fascinating, I believe, and notably in flashbacks, as a result of when Margaret was within the throes of him first being lacking and he or she hadn’t developed her Margaret imaginative and prescient ability, she will be able to solely see that — she has tunnel imaginative and prescient in direction of, “The place’s my son? I would like to seek out him.” And she or he in all probability missed numerous clues. And little by little, because the season goes on, you begin to [get pieces]. And simply the concept that she will be able to’t even fathom who it may probably be… I imply, it’s actually nice when it begins to disclose itself.
We had that nice Margaret and Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) scene early on within the season, which I had been ready for, and he supplied to assist Margaret prior to now with Jamie. However what wouldn’t it take for Margaret to show to Sir for assist?
Nicely, that’s the factor that I discover is so fascinating in regards to the duality of what’s proper when it comes to what Gabi’s [Shanola Hampton] selections had been in utilizing Sir, what’s morally right, which is in case you have a look at it from a black and white perspective, it’s like, completely not. He can’t assist you. That’s, one, towards the legislation, and, two, simply immoral to lean on this one who held her captive for thus lengthy for any type of info. However then that very concept that he will get like, “Hey, I may assist you,” is so manipulative and so type of unbelievable in storytelling since you then understand that individuals are so vulnerable to [it]. All Margaret desires [are] solutions, and if she thinks that Sir may present a few of these solutions for her, what’s she keen to do? How far is she keen to go?
How does Margaret really feel in regards to the limits which are being placed on Jamie at M&A and the truth that M&A is partly why he’s staying?
Nicely, that’s additionally an fascinating factor for me simply story-wise. One, it’s the needing to have a purpose for him to be there, for him to be shut by. Margaret doesn’t need him out of her sights. And I do know that there’s a sure dysfunction in that by itself as a result of she’s so panicked that he’s going to go away once more. So the concept that he’s simply there, that Gabi offers him this “job,” it’s type of odd. However on the similar time, Margaret loves it as a result of meaning she will be near him on a regular basis.
He’s additionally barely suspicious of everybody. She will learn him. He’s so reluctant to offer any info round who took him. The truth that he’s denying her the reality is, I believe, a bit torturous for her. However then she additionally desires to respect his course of and his trauma. So numerous stuff begins to disclose itself, too, round that when it comes to, is he in communication along with his captor? The place does he go when he leaves? She desires these solutions. She desires to know, however she additionally doesn’t wish to push him away. She has to play this little little bit of a recreation of, he’ll inform me when he’s prepared to inform me. However she desires so desperately for him to simply come clear and for every thing to be okay. However their form of therapeutic path is, as soon as he’s been discovered, when you consider the quantity of trauma for individuals who have been discovered, what do they should undergo in an effort to course of their — are they completely disassociated? Do they bear in mind issues? Have they utterly blocked it out in an effort to survive? The psychology of it, I believe, is admittedly fascinating.
He’s [also] virtually blaming her in a method, although he was taken. However you wish to be rescued, after which it’s exhausting to not really feel like they’re accountable. They each have their very own guilt, and it’s additionally clearly not his fault in any method in any respect. He was a toddler, however he’s been utterly brainwashed by this particular person. To have been taken by such an adolescent after which have a lot of all your youth with somebody who has advised you a unique story, what did the kidnapper say to him about me? Did the kidnapper say, oh, your mother and father didn’t need you? After which as a toddler, you begin to consider that; it’s form of Stockholm syndrome that turns into his “secure place,” although it’s not secure. It’s so layered.
Then there’s his curiosity in Gabi, all of the questions on her and his deal with her…
Proper. He will get hyperfocused on her and all people’s jobs inside the agency and him watching me the best way that I’ve developed my Margaret imaginative and prescient. I developed that searching for him, and it looks as if he additionally has form of a spidey sense round numerous issues as a result of he’s needed to be hyper-vigilant his complete life.
