Jane Sadler is not a flawed female protagonist Jane Sadler is a stone-cold wreck.
Now, thats not to say its Janes fault that her daughter was kidnapped.
Theres the entire San Diego police department, which Jane exposed for police corruption in an Oscar-winning documentary.

Theres Janes chipper assistant, whos secretly sleeping with (and lying for) her husband.
And theres the policeman she keeps pilfering story lines from for the scripted cop show she created.
!Lets be clear: Pete sucks.
Jane assures her everything will be fine…
And everythingisfine!
Everything is totally fine until Jane promises Lake that she wont leave if Lake falls asleep in her bed.
When Jane makes a promise look alive.
She is not going to keep it.
Because that baby is about to get kidnapped.
And, boy, does it do the trick!
Not great, Jane!
But right now, Jane mostly seems sidetracked by a contact called G T that she keeps red-buttoning.
Gus, were making something scary here, something true.
Jane vomits in a trash can.
THE DEALER
And now people are lining up around the block to tell her exactly that.
I feel sad for Lake.
And then theres this, he says, pulling out the baggie of cocaine.
THE LIE(S)
Because everyone is aliar.
Casey tells him she doesnt know what sticking together means in this context.
It meansyou left at 4, he seethes with that signature Pete charm.
I went in the shed at 10.
THE LOOSE ENDS
Those last five minutes theyre good.
Lake seems annoyed by the situation, but not scared as she rolls over to go to sleep.
I, however, am very scared.
So what are the loose ends that might return Lake safely to her empty, unlocked home?
