The Missing is a gritty, classic type of grim western that has a woman and her youngest daughter meet and team up with her estranged father as they seek out her other, older daughter who was taken during a raid by renegade American Indians to be sold into slavery across the southern border. Tommy Lee Jones stars as Samuel, who had abandoned his daughter and her mother, and Cate Blanchette plays Maggie, desperate to find her beloved Lilly, his older granddaughter, before she is raped and/or killed. Ron Howard's rescue story has heroism, redemption and forgiveness as relationships are tested and sacrifices made during their quest to save Lilly and others from a terrible fate.

Samuel Jones: If I stay here very long, I might misbehave. Somebody might have to kill me.
Trivia: The Missing is among very few mainstream films to feature authentic Apache language spoken.
Question: Does the movie or book provide information who the father of the older daughter is? What is the meaning of Kate saying "MaMa don't let him". Does that refer to the father?
