[BABY CRYING]
AL. HEY, ALLISON.
[GRUNTS]
ARE YOU HEARING THIS?
[LOUDER CRYING]
[KNOCK KNOCK] ARIEL.
[LOUDER CRYING]
WHAT THE--
WHOSE BABY IS THAT? WHERE'S ARIEL?
SHH. JOE, KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.
WHERE'S OUR DAUGHTER?
SHE'S RIGHT HERE!
ARIEL'S RIGHT HERE.
[SECOND BABY CRYING]
OH! HA HA.
LOOK AT YOU.
OH, MY GOD, JOE. IT'S BRIDGETTE AND MARIE.
IT CAN'T BE.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
ALLISON, COME ON. HELP--
HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THIS.
I THINK MAYBE IT'S MY FAULT.
I'VE BEEN WISHING FOR IT SECRETLY.
[DIFFERENT BABY CRYING]
OK. I GET IT. YOU'RE UPSET.
BUT DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING A LITTLE BIT IMMATURE?
OOH, HOO, HOO!
[SIGHS]
SO, LISTEN... HUH?
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HAVING ANOTHER BABY?
[PLAYING SCALES WITH SOUR NOTES]
BRIDGETTE!
** **
OH, THAT'S NICE. SHE'S PRACTICING.
MAKE IT STOP!
I'M BEGGING YOU TO MAKE IT STOP.
HEY, SHE'S YOUR SISTER,
SHE'S BEEN AT THIS ALL OF 2 WEEKS,
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT TO HER.
WHAT SHE REALLY NEEDS IS YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT.
AND SHE'S GOT IT.
I'M ENCOURAGING HER TO STOP.
[LOUD PIERCING NOTE]
Bridgette: GREAT.
I WAS JUST GETTING THE HANG OF IT, AND THE REED BREAKS.
BRIDGE, OK, COME OVER HERE.
WE'LL GET YOU ANOTHER ONE.
HAVE SOME BREAKFAST.
THAT REALLY STINKS.
I WANTED MOMMY TO HEAR ME PLAY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. MOMMY ISN'T EVEN HERE.
SHE GOT A RIDE WITH DETECTIVE SCANLON
THIS MORNING.
DO ME A FAVOR. GO GET DRESSED.
I'LL MAKE YOU SOMETHING TO EAT IN THE CAR.
AND YOU PROMISE THAT WE'LL GO DOWN TO THE MUSIC SHOP
AND GET ME A NEW REED RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL?
ABSOLUTELY. I PROMISE.
AW. LEE, SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
THANKS.
SO, HOW'S LYNN ADJUSTING?
THERE WAS NO ADJUSTING. IT WAS INSTANT.
THE SECOND LITTLE LEE CAME INTO THE WORLD,
BAM, SHE WAS A MOM.
WHAT IS IT WITH YOU WOMEN AND KIDS?
IT'S LIKE A DRUG.
IT IS PRETTY AMAZING.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING CONVINCED THAT I HAD TO HAVE
ANOTHER ONE.
OH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME.
HA HA! WOW!
WHAT DID JOE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?
NOTHING. HE PRETENDED HE WAS ASLEEP.
YEAH. WELL, IT'S DIFFERENT FOR GUYS.
IT'S AN ADJUSTMENT.
A GREAT ADJUSTMENT, A FANTASTIC ADJUSTMENT,
BUT AN ADJUSTMENT.
TOMORROW NIGHT'S DATE NIGHT.
I FINALLY CONVINCED HER TO GET A SITTER,
LEAVE LITTLE LEE FOR A COUPLE HOURS.
OOH! BIG STEP. ARE YOU EXCITED?
I'M EXCITED. SHE'S TERRIFIED.
Man on radio: DETECTIVE, ADVISE YOUR 20.
I'VE GOT A CODE TWO IN FOUNTAIN HILLS.
Lee: SO YOU WOKE UP WHAT TIME?
6:45, GIVE OR TAKE?
THE BABY'S JUST GONE,
HOUSEKEEPER'S JUST VANISHED?
HE'S NOT IN THE NURSERY, SHE'S NOT IN HER ROOM.
HER ROOM? SHE HAS A ROOM?
SHE STAYS HERE 5 NIGHTS A WEEK
IN CASE THE BABY FUSSES OR WAKES UP DURING THE NIGHT.
AND HIS NAME IS BRYCE?
BRYCE, YES.
AND, UH, THAT'S A VERY RECENT PHOTO. LAST WEEKEND.
HERE'S A PICTURE OF ELIZABETH.
THE HOUSEKEEPER.
YOU SAID HER LAST NAME WAS TORRES.
YES. AND DURING THE NIGHT...
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING?
THE BABY DIDN'T CRY OR ANYTHING,
SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TIME THIS HAPPENED?
NO.
HOW ABOUT YOUR WIFE? DID SHE HEAR ANYTHING?
OBVIOUSLY, NO.
[TAKES DEEP BREATH]
SO, IS THIS IT? IS IT JUST YOU TWO?
[BABY CRYING]
Lee: A FORENSIC TEAM AND SOME MORE DETECTIVES ARE
ON THEIR WAY. BUT I'M
GONNA GET THESE TO EVERY MEDIA OUTLET IN THE AREA,
GET A DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR UP ON AMBER ALERT.
CAN I SPEAK WITH MRS. CARLO?
UH, OF COURSE.
SHE WAS JUST PUTTING ON SOME CLOTHES.
SHE'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE.
IS THE NURSERY UPSTAIRS?
YES.
DO YOU MIND IF I TAKE A LOOK?
Lee: I'LL BE UP IN A BIT.
I'M GONNA TALK TO THE MOTHER,
AND I WANT TO BE HERE
WHEN THE REST OF THE CAVALRY SHOWS UP.
[BABY CRYING]
[CRYING STOPS]
[BABY CRYING]
[CRYING STOPS]
SHOULD I NOT BE IN HERE?
I SEE YOU'RE WEARING GLOVES.
I SHOULDN'T BE IN HERE, RIGHT?
I MIGHT RUIN SOME CLUES OR SOMETHING.
MRS. CARLO?
DANA.
YOU'RE WITH THE POLICE?
MY NAME IS ALLISON.
I'M WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
WE'RE GONNA FIND HIM.
WHEREVER SHE WENT, WHEREVER SHE TOOK HIM,
WE'RE GONNA FIND HIM.
I'M NOT WORRIED.
I MEAN, OF COURSE I'M WORRIED,
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT THERE'S NO ONE ON THE PLANET
THAT LOVES BRYCE AS MUCH AS I DO, EXCEPT ELIZABETH.
SHE WORSHIPS HIM.
SHE LIVES FOR HIM, AND THAT'S HOW I KNOW.
THAT'S HOW I KNOW HE'S OK.
BUT YOU DO BELIEVE THAT SHE TOOK HIM?
WELL, MAYBE SHE DID, AND MAYBE SHE DIDN'T.
I MEAN, MAYBE THIS IS ALL A DREAM, A NIGHTMARE.
IN A LITTLE WHILE, I'LL WAKE UP,
AND ELIZABETH WILL BE DOWNSTAIRS HOLDING BRYCE
AND WE'LL SING SONGS AND PLAY GAMES,
AND IT'LL JUST BE ANOTHER DAY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE THAT THIS ADDRESS
FOR ELIZABETH TORRES IS GOOD,
THAT WE KNOCK ON THE DOOR, SHE OPENS IT,
THAT THE BABY'S THERE ASLEEP PEACEFULLY
IN A LAUNDRY BASKET?
[SIREN BLARES, THEN STOPS]
Lee: MS. TORRES, IT'S THE POLICE.
IF YOU DON'T OPEN UP ON THE COUNT OF 3, WE'RE COMING IN.
1, 2, 3.
OK, HOME BEFORE LUNCH.
NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT.
ALLISON, YOU OK?
YEAH. NO, I'M FINE.
ARE YOU SURE?
[CRYING]
IT'S THAT LITTLE BABY.
I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD.
DON'T WORRY. YOU KNOW, SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A RANSOM DEMAND.
SOMEONE WILL SPOT THIS ELIZABETH.
SOMETHING WILL BREAK. IT ALWAYS DOES.
[STIFLED SOBBING]
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
HELLO.
HI. YOU'RE AT HOME?
I CALLED YOUR OFFICE, I CALLED YOUR CELL.
IT'S A LONG STORY.
ARE YOU OK? YOU SOUND UPSET.
[BABY CRYING]
DO YOU HEAR THAT?
HEAR WHAT?
NOTHING.
I DON'T HEAR IT NOW.
HEY, LISTEN, WHAT MUSIC STORE
DID YOU RENT BRIDGETTE'S CLARINET FROM?
I PROMISED HER THAT I'D GET HER A NEW REED
ON THE WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL.
UH, MARSHALL'S. I GOT IT AT MARSHALL'S.
[BABY CRYING]
THERE IT IS AGAIN. DO YOU HEAR IT?
NO. MARSHALL'S, HUH?
ALLISON, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
[CRYING CONTINUES]
ALLISON?
YEAH. HONEY, I'M FINE.
I'LL SEE YOU WHEN YOU GET HOME.
BABY?
[CRYING CONTINUES]
[CRYING STOPS]
[CRYING STARTS]
SHH. I'M HERE NOW, HONEY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, HONEY?
[BABY COOING]
SOMETHING YOU WANT IN THE GARAGE?
[BABY LAUGHING]
[BABY COOING]
IT'S THE CAR.
HUH! IT'S THE CAR.
YOU WANTED TO BE IN THE CAR?
OH, MY GOD. I'M TALKING TO A PICTURE.
[BABY CRYING]
YOU WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE, DON'T YOU?
[BABY COOING]
OK. WAIT RIGHT HERE.
I'M GONNA GET MY PURSE AND MY KEYS.
[CLARINET SCREECHING]
BRIDGE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
PUT THAT BACK! DON'T PLAY WITH THAT.
THAT'S NOT YOURS.
OK.
COME ON. HELP ME FIND A REED.
OK, WHAT SIZE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
ONE, 1 1/2?
[TUNE PLAYS ON CLARINET]
SHE WITH YOU TWO?
HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN PLAYING?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SHE CAN'T PLAY.
WHICH HOUSE IS IT?
[BABY FUSSING]
WHAT, DID I PASS IT?
[BABY CRYING]
[BABY COOING]
HERE?
OK.
[RINGS]
HELLO?
[RING]
HELLO. IS ANYBODY HOME?
I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING US INTO.
HELLO? IS ANYBODY HOME?
I'M WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS
ABOUT A MISSING BABY.
[BABY CRYING]
IT ISN'T YOU?
BABY?
KEEP CRYING. I'M GONNA FIND YOU. I'M HERE!
[LOUDER CRYING]
[CRYING STOPS]
IT'S YOU, BRYCE, ISN'T IT?
Bridgette: COME ON. YOU GOT TO TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID IT.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
Joe: OK. ONE HALF-HOUR OF TV, THEN HOMEWORK, OK?
HI. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, TOO.
OK, YOU FIRST. NO, NO, NO.
YOU GO. WHAT'S GOING ON?
OK, I TOOK THE KIDS TO AN EARLY DINNER,
LIKE YOU SUGGESTED, BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED
IN THE MUSIC STORE, SOMETHING
THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.
[BABY CRYING]
NOW I'M THINKING MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO FIRST.
WHAT IS THAT?
IT'S A BABY!
YEAH, NO. I SUSSED THAT PART OUT.
WHAT IS IT DOING HERE?
COME ON, LITTLE SWEETIE.
OH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO START EXPLAINING THIS.
OK, WELL, ANY EFFORT YOU MAKE
WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
RIGHT. WELL, THE SHORT VERSION IS
HIS NAME IS BRYCE CARLO.
HIS HOUSEKEEPER KIDNAPPED HIM
THIS MORNING AND I FOUND HIM.
OK, AND WHAT?
WE'RE, LIKE, WAITING FOR THE POLICE TO COME, GET HIM?
ALLISON?
I HAVEN'T CALLED THE POLICE.
BECAUSE..?
BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE I'M SUPPOSED TO.
OH, OK, YEAH. I CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.
NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS LITTLE BOY.
FROM THE MOMENT I HEARD THAT HE WAS GONE.
FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HIS PICTURE,
I KNEW I WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR HIM.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO FIND HIM.
AND NOW I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO KEEP HIM.
ALLISON, HE HAS PARENTS.
YEAH, I KNOW. I MET THEM.
BUT THEY'RE PROBABLY FRANTIC.
WELL, HIS FATHER IS CONCERNED,
BUT HIS MOTHER IS ODDLY CALM.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ODDLY CALM?
SHE'S PROBABLY IN SHOCK.
AND WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE? IT'S HER BABY.
JUST BECAUSE YOU TOOK HIM FROM A KIDNAPPER
DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY LESS OF A KIDNAPPER.
NO, YOU'RE WRONG. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE;
HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME.
OH, LOOK! HE'S SMILING!
HE KNOWS I'M RIGHT!
HE'S SMILING. THAT'S YOUR PROOF?
THAT'S YOUR ANSWER, HE'S SMILING?
HE'S A BABY! THEY ALL SMILE.
THAT'S STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON A BABY.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
ALLISON, PEOPLE GO TO JAIL FOR THIS
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU FROM YOURSELF.
I'M GONNA TRY AND REACH SOMEBODY--
A FRIEND ON THE PHONE-- SCANLON OR DEVALOS,
SOMEBODY WHO CAN TAKE THIS BABY BACK
TO ITS RIGHTFUL PARENTS. NO!
HEY, YES! YOU ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN.
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO ONLY SEE YOU ON VISITOR'S DAY.
[PIANO PLAYING]
HEY. HI.
SORRY. I KNOW I'M LATE,
BUT IT WAS SO HARD TO LEAVE HER.
SHE KEPT LOOKING AT ME
LIKE I WAS ABANDONING HER.
I KNOW IT'S TOUGH, BUT IT'S GOOD PRACTICE
FOR NEXT WEEK, WHEN YOU GO BACK TO WORK.
OK, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.
A DRINK FOR MADAM?
YEAH. SHE WILL HAVE A MARTINI WITH...
NO, NO, NO. BREASTFEEDING,
BREASTFEEDING.
SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.
WE WILL HAVE A BOTTLE OF YOUR FINEST WATER.
THANK YOU.
SO HOW'D SHE CHECK OUT?
SORRY. WHO? THE BABY-SITTER.
YOU WERE GONNA RUN HER LICENSE.
LYNN, SHE'S 17. SHE'S CLEAN AS A WHISTLE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M TEXTING HER.
BABY'S NOT USED TO GETTING MILK
FROM A BOTTLE, FROM A STRANGER.
I JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S GOING OK.
AND WOULD WE LIKE TO HEAR
THE SPECIALS FOR TONIGHT?
NOT ME. I CAN'T REALLY EAT ANYTHING.
WHAT?
WELL, I'VE GOT TO GET THIS BABY WEIGHT OFF.
NOTHING FITS ME.
I HATE THE WAY I LOOK.
YOU LOOK FANTASTIC, AND YOU HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING.
COULD YOU GIVE US A FEW MINUTES?
THANKS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SHE HASN'T TEXTED BACK.
YOU JUST TEXTED HER.
BESIDES, MAYBE SHE'S TAKING CARE OF THE BABY.
SHE CAN'T TEXT IF SHE'S
TAKING CARE OF THE BABY.
AND I ALSO KNOW THAT THE WHOLE IDEA OF TONIGHT IS
FOR THE TWO OF US TO HAVE A GOOD TIME,
TO GET YOUR MIND OFF THE BABY, AND RELAX. ALL RIGHT?
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
WHAT'S GOING ON? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I THINK I HAD MY PHONE ON VIBRATE.
SCANLON HERE.
WELL, I'M JUST KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING.
YES, SIR. YOU GOT IT.
I KNOW THAT LOOK.
THE CARLO CASE--THERE'S BEEN A BREAKTHROUGH.
I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME?
YEAH, I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME.
Devalos: OBVIOUSLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT BRYCE
IS HOME SAFELY.
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW MORE AS IT DEVELOPS,
BUT THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. THANK YOU.
IT'S OK. YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
YOU KNOW YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
OK, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
AS FAR AS THE CARLOS ARE CONCERNED,
ALLISON LED LEE TO THEIR SON.
THANKS.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHAT WAS BRYCE DOING
IN THAT STRANGE HOUSE ALL ALONE?
WE DON'T KNOW YET. THE HOUSE IS OWNED
BY A WOMAN NAMED MARIBELLA GOMEZ.
SHE FREELY ADMITS THAT SHE'S FRIENDS
WITH THE HOUSEKEEPER, ELIZABETH TORRES,
BUT HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.
SHE WASN'T HOME WHEN ELIZABETH CAME BY
TO STASH THE BABY.
HAS NO IDEA WHY SHE WOULD HAVE BROKEN INTO HER HOUSE,
NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS NOW.
LISTEN, ALLISON, IF YOU'RE UP TO IT,
THE CARLOS WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU
PERSONALLY.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT IF I CAN'T HOLD HIM,
PROTECT HIM...
MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.
ALLISON...
OH, JEEZ.
IT'S BRYCE'S.
I GUESS SOMEHOW WE MISSED IT.
COME ON. GIVE IT TO ME.
COME ON. I GOT TO GET RID OF IT.
AND, ALLISON, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN,
BUT THAT BLANKET IS--
IT'S EVIDENCE THAT BRYCE WAS HERE,
THAT HE WAS IN OUR HOUSE, SO...
COME ON. I GOT TO HAVE IT.
I GOT TO BURN IT OR SOMETHING.
IT'S OK. I'LL DO IT.
I WILL. I'LL DO IT... IN THE MORNING.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
OH, MY GOODNESS.
I AM SO THRILLED THAT YOU STOPPED BY.
I WAS SO WORRIED I WOULDN'T GET A CHANCE
TO THANK YOU.
I KNOW I MUST HAVE SEEMED A LITTLE CRAZY
YESTERDAY, TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I TRUSTED
ELIZABETH, EVEN THOUGH SHE TOOK MY BABY.
IT'S JUST, SOMETIMES THINGS ARE SO AWFUL,
IT'S LIKE YOUR BRAIN CAN'T TAKE THEM IN.
NO, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WOKE UP
AND ONE OF MY BABIES WAS GONE.
WELL, SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHERE'S BRYCE?
I'D REALLY LOVE TO SEE HIM.
I KIND OF MISS THAT LITTLE GUY.
WELL, ACTUALLY, YOU JUST MISSED HIM.
MY HUSBAND SCOTT
TOOK HIM OVER TO HIS GRANDPARENTS
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
OH, WELL, THAT'S NICE.
WELL, MAYBE I COULD JUST HANG OUT TILL THEY GET BACK.
UH--
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
WELL, THAT'S PROBABLY SCOTT NOW.
LET ME JUST SEE WHEN HE PLANS ON HEADING BACK.
[RING]
ARE YOU THE LADY WHO BROUGHT MY BROTHER BACK?
I WISH YOU HADN'T DONE THAT.
HE'S NOT SAFE HERE.
I'M AFRAID SCOTT AND BRYCE
WILL BE GONE ALL DAY.
UH, IT CAUGHT MY EYE.
THAT'S LUCY.
SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN 6.
SHE FELL ILL LAST YEAR
AND DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
I'M SO SORRY.
IT'LL BE A YEAR AT CHRISTMAS.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD ME,
SCOTT AND BRYCE--
THEY'LL BE GONE ALL DAY.
WELL, GIVE BRYCE A HUG FOR ME.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE TEA.
NO, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
[TUNE PLAYING ON CLARINET]
Joe: UM, ACTUALLY, MRS. LOVETT,
I WASN'T CALLING ABOUT BRIDGETTE.
I WAS CALLING ABOUT OUR 6 YEAR OLD.
I WAS WONDERING IF SHE COULD GET MUSIC LESSONS,
TOO, YOU KNOW?
MAYBE WE COULD DO THEM BACK-TO-BACK OR...?
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OPENINGS?
OH, WOW. THAT'S TOO BAD.
COULD WE MAYBE GET ON A WAIT LIST OR..?
SHE CAN HAVE MINE!
SORRY. HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
WHAT'S THAT, BRIDGE?
MY LESSON. SHE CAN HAVE IT.
IT'S AT 4:00 TOMORROW.
I DON'T WANT IT.
BUT THAT'S YOUR LESSON, BRIDGE.
I DON'T WANT IT. SHE CAN HAVE IT!
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
GO AWAY. I'M BUSY.
SORRY. COMING IN ANYWAY.
HI.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU GOT HOMEWORK,
BUT YOU HAVE TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP FOR ME.
I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY
THAT YOU WANTED TO QUIT CLARINET.
YEAH. SO, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
I STINK AT IT, ANYWAYS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'VE ONLY BEEN AT IT FOR TWO WEEKS.
YEAH, AND MARIE'S BEEN PLAYING
FOR, LIKE, TWO MINUTES.
AND SHE'S ALREADY GREAT.
COME ON. YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU CAN'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO MARIE.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON THERE, BUT THAT GIRL
CLEARLY HAS A SPECIAL APTITUDE FOR THE CLARINET.
BUT I DON'T.
BRIDGETTE, YOU ARE ALREADY
ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL PEOPLE
IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. REALLY.
NOW, ANYBODY WHO KNOWS YOU WOULD SAY THAT.
NO, YOU'RE WRONG. NOBODY'S EVER SAID THAT,
EXCEPT YOU JUST NOW,
AND ONLY BECAUSE YOU'RE MY DAD.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
YEAH, WELL, IT'S TRUE. YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
I'M EVERYBODY'S SISTER.
THAT'S NOT TRUE. YEAH?
WELL, I'M ARIEL'S SISTER,
BECAUSE SHE'S SMART AND SHE'S PRETTY,
AND EVERYBODY LIKES HER.
AND SHE KNOWS ABOUT CLOTHES
AND BOYS AND DANCING.
AND NOW I GUESS I'M MARIE'S SISTER, TOO.
BECAUSE SHE CAN PLAY CLARINET
WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.
COME HERE.
[SOBBING]
[WATER RUNNING]
Joe: YOU KNOW, IT ABSOLUTELY--
IT JUST BROKE MY HEART, YOU KNOW.
SHE JUST SEEMED SO DEFEATED BY IT.
OHH. DID YOU HEAR ME?
ALLISON?
HEY, ALLISON?
I'M SORRY. WERE YOU TALKING TO ME?
WHERE ARE YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU SO BUSY THINKING ABOUT?
LOOK, DON'T BE MAD. I WENT TO SEE HIM TODAY.
I BROUGHT HIM HIS BLANKET.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HEARING THIS.
I'M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT YOUR OWN CHILD.
HEY. HE HAD A SISTER. HAD.
SHE DIED A FEW MONTHS AGO.
SHE SAID THAT BRYCE WASN'T SAFE IN THAT HOUSE,
THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT HIM BACK THERE.
WHAT, THE DEAD SISTER TOLD YOU THIS?
LOOK, I CHECKED HER DEATH RECORDS.
IT SAID "UNEXPLAINED ILLNESSES, NATURAL CAUSES."
APPARENTLY, THEY TOOK HER TO EXPERT AFTER EXPERT.
NO ONE COULD REALLY PUT THEIR FINGER ON IT.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
WELL, I'M SAYING SOMETHING'S WRONG IN THAT HOUSE.
THE SISTER SAID THAT BRYCE WASN'T SAFE THERE.
THE MOTHER SAID THE HOUSEKEEPER LIVED FOR HIM.
SO I'M STARTING TO THINK
MAYBE SHE DIDN'T KIDNAP HIM AT ALL,
MAYBE SHE WAS TRYING
TO PROTECT HIM.
MAYBE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IN THAT HOUSE KILLED THE SISTER
AND NOW IT'S TRYING TO HARM BRYCE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I CAN'T DO THIS.
I CAN'T SPEND ANOTHER OUNCE OF ENERGY
ON THIS THING.
I SPENT LAST NIGHT RUNNING
ALL OVER HELL'S HALF ACRE.
HEY, YOU ASKED ME WHAT WAS IN MY HEAD.
THE LITTLE BOY IS HOME SAFE...
I'M TELLING YOU WHAT'S IN MY HEAD.
WITH HIS PARENTS. OUR LITTLE GIRL
IS BESIDE HERSELF IN HER ROOM.
[BABY CRYING]
JOE? AH--YEAH?
WHAT?
YOU HAVE A DREAM?
WHAT'S GOING ON, ALLISON?
SHH.
[BABY CRYING]
THAT. DO YOU HEAR THAT?
WHAT? HEAR WHAT? WHAT AM I LISTENING FOR?
OH. ALLISON, LOOK,
IT'S ALMOST 1:30 IN THE MORNING.
NO, THAT, THAT. THAT BABY CRYING.
WHAT ARE YOU-- THERE'S NO BABY CRYING.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WE DON'T HAVE A BABY.
IT'S HIM. IT'S BRYCE. HE NEEDS ME.
I'M GOING OVER THERE.
GOING WHERE?
TO THE CARLOS'. I NEED TO MAKE SURE HE'S OK.
HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF?
IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
I DON'T CARE! HE'S IN TROUBLE.
HE NEEDS ME.
AH, FOR CRAP'S SAKE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
CAN I HELP YOU?
MR. CARLO, I--WE MET THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS WITH DETECTIVE SCANLON.
THIS IS MY HUSBAND JOE.
LOOK, I KNOW IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
I KNOW THIS IS REALLY UNUSUAL,
BUT I WAS WONDERING
IF I COULD JUST LOOK IN ON BRYCE.
ALLISON, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
THIS--IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN.
I JUST--I NEED TO SEE BRYCE.
I JUST--I NEED TO KNOW THAT HE'S OK.
WHY WOULDN'T HE BE OK?
[BRYCE CRYING]
OH, NO, NO. DID WE DO THAT?
THE DOORBELL?
NO, NO. THIS IS PRETTY MUCH PAR FOR THE COURSE.
WELL, AS LONG AS THAT'S THE CASE,
I MEAN, IF HE'S UP, IS THERE
ANY WAY THAT I CAN JUST SEE HIM?
OH, HE'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BOY.
[LAUGHS]
YOUR LITTLE GIRL
NEVER GOT TO MEET HIM, DID SHE?
I GOT PREGNANT JUST BEFORE SHE PASSED.
I KNOW SCOTT WAS WORRIED
THAT I WAS SO FILLED WITH GRIEF
THAT I MIGHT LOSE HIM.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE
TO GO THROUGH THAT.
WELL, THE HARDEST PART WAS NEVER GETTING ANY ANSWERS,
NEVER KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG.
I MEAN, THE ONLY THING EVERYONE SEEMED TO AGREE ON
WAS THAT SHE WAS DYING.
DID YOU EVER CONSIDER GETTING AN AUTOPSY
SO YOU WOULD KNOW WHY?
HEY. ALLISON!
UH, NO. LUCY SUFFERED TOO MUCH.
WE COULDN'T PUT HER THROUGH THAT, TOO.
AND, ULTIMATELY, AN AUTOPSY WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN
FOR OUR BENEFIT, NOT HERS.
WE JUST WANTED HER TO REST IN PEACE.
Allison: I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY
WOULDN'T GET AN AUTOPSY.
I MEAN, IF ONE OF OUR GIRLS DIED--
ALLISON, YOU HAVE TO STOP.
THAT FAMILY OPENED THEIR DOOR TO US
AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
THEY'RE NOT EVIL.
IF ANYTHING, THEY'RE SAINTS.
OK, I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE NOT NICE.
I JUST--I THINK IT'S STRANGE...
STRANGE? YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT STRANGE?
LOOK, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU,
BUT THE ONLY THING STRANGE
ABOUT THAT HOUSE TONIGHT WAS
THE FACT THAT WE WERE IN IT.
NOW, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THAT FAMILY ALONE.
I MEAN IT.
[SIGHS]
GO AWAY. I'M TIRED.
YEAH, WELL, TOO BAD. IT'S TIME TO GET UP.
WELL, I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TO SLEEP YET.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IT'S MORNING.
YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP ALL NIGHT.
UH-UH. NOT REALLY. I'VE BEEN DREAMING,
DREAMING ABOUT THAT STUPID SONG.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU DREAM THAT SONG?
THERE'S THIS OLD MAN, AND HE HAS A CLARINET.
AND ALL HE DOES IS PLAY THAT SONG
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, SHOWING ME HOW TO DO IT.
I HATE IT.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.
WHY ARE YOU EVEN TELLING ME ALL THIS?
BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BIG SISTER.
[KNOCK KNOCK]
ALLISON.
SIR, I WAS WANTING TO ASK YOU
ABOUT BRYCE CARLO.
WHEN YOU BROUGHT HIM IN,
DID ANYONE RUN ANY BLOOD WORK,
ANYTHING THAT COULD TEST
FOR TOXINS IN HIS SYSTEM?
SURE. BLOOD TESTS ARE FAIRLY ROUTINE
IN CHILD ABDUCTION CASES.
WE LOOK FOR SEDATIVES, TRANQUILIZERS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS IN BRYCE'S CASE,
EVERYTHING CAME BACK COMPLETELY NORMAL.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
DEVALOS.
YEAH. OK.
MM-HMM. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
THAT WAS THE MORGUE.
[CLEARS THROAT]
SEEMS A SANITATION WORKER FOUND A CORPSE STUFFED
IN AN ABANDONED REFRIGERATOR IN ONE OF
OUR MUNICIPAL LANDFILLS EARLY THIS MORNING.
IT MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR MISSING KIDNAPPER,
ELIZABETH TORRES.
YES. THAT'S HER.
THAT'S MY COUSIN.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN
AND MAKING THE IDENTIFICATION.
I MAY HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS.
IF YOU WANT TO JUST WAIT OUTSIDE?
THE M.E.'s CALLING CAUSE OF DEATH BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA.
LOOKS LIKE SHE TOOK A COUPLE OF HARD BLOWS TO THE HEAD.
HARD ENOUGH TO KILL HER.
DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.
THIS WOMAN TAKES A BABY BOY, YOU FIND THE BABY BOY,
THEN SOMEONE KILLS THE KIDNAPPER?
SOMETHING'S MISSING.
LIKE WHAT?
TO BEGIN WITH, I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT
WHY THIS WOMAN TOOK THAT CHILD,
ONLY TO ABANDON HIM AT THE HOUSE
WHERE ALLISON FOUND HIM.
IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE FORENSICS GO BACK,
SEE IF THEY CAN FIND ANY OF THIS WOMAN'S BLOOD.
Joe: ALL RIGHT, GIRLS. HEY, GIRLS, COME ON.
IT'S TIME TO LEAVE FOR MARIE'S MUSIC LESSON.
HEY, DAD?
YEAH.
MARIE WANTED ME TO TELL YOU
THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO HER LESSON.
WHAT? WHY?
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
CAN YOU PUT YOUR GLASSES BACK ON...
[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]
Joe: ALL RIGHT, SWEETHEART.
YOU WANT TO? OK. COME ON.
SHE OK?
UM, YEAH. WELL, NOT YET, BUT EVENTUALLY.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS, ISN'T IT?
UH, YES, YES.
THIS DEFINITELY APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
SO HOW DO WE FIX IT?
HOW DO WE MAKE HER STOP HEARING THAT SONG?
I DON'T KNOW, BRIDGE. I HONESTLY--I DON'T KNOW.
FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH MOM AND WITH ARIEL
AND EVEN WITH YOU,
IT'S BEST TO JUST LET THESE THINGS RUN THEIR COURSE.
[BABY CRYING]
[RINGTONE PLAYS]
HELLO?
Devalos: ALLISON, I HOPE I DIDN'T WAKE YOU.
I JUST CALLED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE POLICE
WENT BACK OUT TO THAT HOUSE
WHERE YOU FOUND THE CARLO BOY.
THEY ACTUALLY FOUND A SMALL SPOT OF BLOOD
ON THE UNDERSIDE OF A DOORKNOB.
THE BLOOD MATCHED SOME BLOOD THAT WE FOUND
ON ELIZABETH TORRES' BODY-- BLOOD THAT WASN'T HERS.
SO WHILE WE DON'T YET HAVE A SUSPECT,
THE GOOD NEWS IS, ONCE WE DO,
WE HAVE ENOUGH FORENSIC EVIDENCE TO NAIL HIM
FOR MURDER.
ANYWAY, I'M, UH...
I'M GOING TO GO HOME, GO TO BED.
[CRYING CONTINUES]
YOU DO THAT, SIR.
[CRYING CONTINUES]
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
ALLISON, IT'S 1 A.M.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
I'M SORRY TO WAKE YOU AND SCOTT.
SCOTT'S NOT HERE. HE'S OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS.
LOOK, I'M SORRY, DANA. I'M SORRY!
YOU'RE A NICE PERSON.
I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING THAT I AM DOING,
I AM DOING FOR BRYCE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR BRYCE?
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ASK TO SEE HIM AGAIN.
NO. I DON'T NEED TO JUST SEE HIM.
I NEED TO TAKE HIM.
BRYCE NEEDS TO BE WITH ME!
OK, ALLISON, YOU NEED TO LEAVE.
I'M SERIOUS. YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.
BRYCE ISN'T GOING TO BE WITH YOU.
THAT'S JUST NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
AAH. AH! AAH!
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HI. HELLO.
HEY, IT'S ME. I'M FINE.
YOU'RE FINE? YOU'RE FINE?
ALLISON, I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU, LIKE, 35 TIMES.
DID YOU TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE?
WELL, I HAD TO THROW IT AWAY.
I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO USE IT
TO TRY TO TRACK ME DOWN.
LOOK, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M SAFE.
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE, BUT WE'RE SAFE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT. THE WHOLE STATE OF ARIZONA
IS LOOKING FOR YOU.
THEY GOT AMBER ALERTS AND APBs.
I BEG YOU, TURN YOURSELF IN NOW!
IF WE'RE LUCKY,
ALL THEY'LL CHARGE YOU WITH IS ASSAULT.
I CAN'T. I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
IT'S JUST...
I KNOW FOR NOW HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME.
BUT HE'S NOT.
ALLISON, PLEASE, TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE.
TELL ME AT LEAST YOU HAVE A PLAN.
THERE'S NO PLAN.
HE HAD TO SLEEP, EAT.
I NEED TO SLEEP.
HONEY, I HAVE TO GET OFF THE PHONE.
I KNOW THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY TRACING OUR HOME NUMBER.
I LOVE YOU. I LOVE THE GIRLS.
I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
[DOORBELL RINGING]
MIRABELLA, IT'S ELIZABETH.
OH, PLEASE.
I'M IN TROUBLE. I NEED HELP.
MIRABELLA?
¿ESTAS EN CASA?
HOLA.
[GUNSHOT]
ELIZABETH, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!
ELIZABETH? PRIMO!
PRIMO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST CUT ME OUT OF MY OWN PLAN?
NO. NO, YOU'RE WRONG.
I...I WOULD NEVER...
YOU WOULD NEVER-- YOU WOULD NEVER WHAT?
WHAT? YOU NEVER WHAT?
NO, NO. I DID EVERYTHING YOU ASKED.
I GAVE YOU THE ALARM CODE.
I TOOK PICTURES.
YES, YOU WERE A GOOD COUSIN.
YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO,
MAYBE TOO MUCH.
NO.
YES. NO.
YES. HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN IT?
THIS MORNING WHEN MARTIN AND I WERE SUPPOSED TO KIDNAP
THE BABY, WE FIND OUT HE'S ALREADY GONE.
ALBERTO...
AND THEN THE TV.
THEY'RE SAYING THE PERSON WHO TOOK IT WAS YOU.
I WANT THAT BABY!
I'M SORRY, ALBERTO. HE'S NOT HERE.
I DON'T HAVE HIM ANYMORE.
I GAVE HIM TO MIRABELLA.
SHE'S GONE TO THE POLICE.
SHE'S GOING TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING.
YOU'RE LYING!
NO!
IT'S THE TRUTH. I DON'T LIE,
NOT LIKE YOU LIED TO ME.
MARTIN TOLD ME-- HE TOLD ME YOU...
WERE NEVER GOING TO GIVE THAT BABY BACK,
EVEN IF THEY PAID THE RANSOM,
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO SELL HIM
FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
I COULD NEVER BE A PART OF THAT.
YOU CANNOT REALLY BE MY COUSIN.
YOU ARE NOT EVEN HUMAN.
[SPITS]
[YELLS]
MA'AM, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD
AND SURRENDER THE CHILD.
[LOCK BUZZES]
I'M SO SORRY THAT I SPRAYED YOU IN THE EYES.
I JUST HAD A CONVERSATION
WITH THE MAN YOU WORK FOR--
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I HAVE EVERY RIGHT
TO PROSECUTE YOU FOR KIDNAPPING BRYCE,
ASSAULTING ME,
EVERY RIGHT TO SEND YOU TO PRISON
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
BUT, UH...
HE ALSO CONFESSED THAT HE THOUGHT
THAT WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE.
AND THEN HE TALKED TO ME
ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DREAMS.
HE TOLD ME IT WAS A DREAM OF YOURS
THAT LED POLICE TO THE MAN
WHO KILLED OUR NANNY,
THAT ONCE THEY BROUGHT HIM IN, HE CONFESSED.
HE TOLD THEM THAT AFTER YOU HAD BROUGHT BRYCE
BACK TO ME AND SCOTT,
ALBERTO AND HIS PARTNER REALIZED
THEY STILL HAD THE ALARM CODE.
THEY STILL HAD EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED
TO GO THROUGH WITH THE KIDNAPPING.
THEY EVEN HAD
MY HUSBAND'S TRAVEL SCHEDULE,
WHICH IS WHY LAST NIGHT,
SHORTLY AFTER YOU ASSAULTED ME
AND TOOK MY SON, THEY CAME TO MY HOUSE.
OH, MY GOD.
IF YOU HADN'T TAKEN BRYCE,
IT APPEARS THEY WOULD HAVE.
THEY PULLED UP TO OUR HOUSE
AND FOUND POLICE CARS IN OUR DRIVEWAY--
POLICE CARS THAT WERE THERE BECAUSE OF YOU,
MRS. DUBOIS,
BECAUSE YOU HAD TAKEN MY LITTLE BOY.
NOW, MAYBE IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE,
BUT I PREFER TO BELIEVE THIS...
THIS THING YOU HAVE, THIS GIFT...
IT FORCED YOU TO KEEP BRYCE SAFE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I PREFER TO BELIEVE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PROSECUTE ME?
I TOLD YOUR BOSS THAT MY MEMORY
OF LAST NIGHT IS FAULTY.
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE TESTIFYING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
OH, THANK YOU.
STAY AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, ALLISON.
STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY.
IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN,
MY MEMORY MAY VERY WELL IMPROVE,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
I UNDERSTAND.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.
I WAS THERE WHEN BRYCE NEEDED ME.
BUT I THINK FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE,
ONE MOTHER IS PLENTY.
[BELL RINGING]
[PIANO PLAYING TUNE SIMILAR TO CLARINET PIECE]
EXCUSE ME.
CAN YOU TELL ME THE NAME OF THAT SONG?
IT DOESN'T HAVE A NAME, ACTUALLY.
I WROTE IT.
WELL, ME AND MY DAD ANYWAY.
I'M MR. BRONSON, BY THE WAY.
AND WHO ARE YOU?
BRIDGETTE DUBOIS.
NICE TO MEET YOU, BRIDGETTE DUBOIS.
YEAH, THIS SONG DOESN'T HAVE A NAME--
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ENDING.
WE NEVER FINISHED IT.
I WAS WORKING ON IT WITH MY FATHER WHEN HE, UH...
HE PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY.
WAIT RIGHT HERE. I THINK I KNOW
SOMEONE YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO MEET.
