IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION, REALLY.
YOU FIND A PRESENT HIDDEN IN THE CLOSET.
ARE YOU THE TYPE WHO PEEKS?
I DON'T KNOW, DOCTOR.
I GO BACK AND FORTH.
I LIKE SURPRISES, BUT I'M PAINTING THIS WEEKEND.
YOU KNOW, PINK OR BLUE?
WELL, YOU'VE WAITED THIS LONG.
WHAT'S ANOTHER TWO WEEKS?
TOO LONG.
OKAY. I WANT TO PEEK.
PINK.
IT'S A GIRL?
I'M HAVING A LITTLE GIRL?
OH!
OH, MY GOD...
A BABY GIRL.
GROWTH IS CONSISTENT WITH SIZE.
SHE'S RIGHT AT ABOUT SIX POUNDS.
HERE YOU GO.
ANY DIZZINESS, HEADACHES, NAUSEA?
YEAH, ALL OF THE ABOVE. WHY?
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS HIGH.
140 OVER 90.
WORK STILL HECTIC?
CRAZY IS MORE LIKE IT.
TRYING TO CROSS ALL THE "T"S AND DOT ALL THE "I"S
BEFORE I GO ON MATERNITY LEAVE.
DOES THIS HURT?
A LITTLE.
SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?
WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,
THERE'S ALWAYS THE RISK OF TOXEMIA.
IT'S SOMETHING I LIKE TO KEEP MY EYE ON.
WHEN DO YOU GO ON LEAVE?
AT THE END OF THE WEEK.
WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO MONITOR YOU CLOSELY
UNTIL THE BIRTH.
CAN YOU COME IN TOMORROW?
NO, NO. FRIDAY'S IMPOSSIBLE.
I HAVE A MAJOR CLIENT PRESENTATION
THIS AFTERNOON,
AND IF WE GET THE ACCOUNT,
THEN I'LL BE UP TO MY EARS IN LEGAL TOMORROW.
HERE'S THE WEB ADDRESS
FOR THE PRENATAL OUTREACH PROGRAM
THE HOSPITAL RUNS.
YOU CAN APPLY ONLINE.
MAYBE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEND YOU A NURSE
OVER THIS WEEKEND.
IF NOT, I WANT TO SEE YOU FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING.
DOCTOR'S ORDERS.
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.
THE ACT OF CREATION
CAN BE A RICHLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE,
BUT IT'S NOT WITHOUT ITS SHARE OF DIFFICULTIES.
IN ORDER FOR YOUR COMPANY
TO BECOME A MAJOR PLAYER
IN THE INTERNATIONAL CARRIER BUSINESS,
WE'LL BE TAKING ON THE HEAVY HITTERS.
FEDEX, DHL, UPS...
IT DOESN'T GET ANY HOTTER THAN THAT.
AS LONG AS THEY'RE TAKING THE HEAT.
WHEN WE'VE GOT 'EM BACKED UP AGAINST THE ROPES.
WE'VE COMMITTED
TO A LONG-TERM, AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN--
DO YOU THINK WE CAN TAKE 'EM TO THE CANVAS WITH THIS?
WE'RE OLD FIGHT FANS.
ROYCE, THAT'S OLD SCHOOL.
I PREFER THE FINESSE,
THE STRATEGY.
MYSELF, I'M PARTIAL TO HEAVYWEIGHTS.
I LIKE PUNCHERS.
GUYS THAT GO FOR THE KNOCKOUT.
YOU QUITE SURE ABOUT THAT?
BECAUSE THE LARGER CANVAS DOESN'T FAVOR THE PUNCHER.
MY FATHER WAS A SPORTSWRITER.
I GREW UP PRACTICALLY WORSHIPPING ALI.
I'M LISTENING.
YOU'RE NUMBER ONE ON THE EAST COAST,
BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GLOBAL ARENA.
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER STICKING AND JABBING,
TO WORK YOUR WAY INTO A WINNING POSITION.
ARE YOU SAYING I'M OUT OF MY WEIGHT CLASS?
NOT AT ALL.
I AM SIMPLY SAYING
YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO GO THE DISTANCE.
TO SPEND THE KIND OF SERIOUS MONEY IT TAKES
TO CREATE A MARKET LEADER.
WELL, WHAT DID THEY SAY?
BEARING IN MIND THAT ROYCE CLAYTON
IS A CLOSE, PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE...
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HE HAS A SHOT,
GOING TOE TO TOE WITH THE BIG BOYS?
YES, I DO.
WHY, JENNA?
BECAUSE THOSE OTHER COMPANIES ARE VULNERABLE.
BECAUSE STATISTICS SHOW THAT THE MARKET WILL BEAR IT.
BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR HIS BUSINESS.
BECAUSE IF WE FAIL,
A 30-YEAR-OLD COMPANY WILL BE DESTROYED,
2,000 PEOPLE WILL BE OUT OF WORK.
AND I'LL LOSE AN OLD FRIEND.
WE GOT THE ACCOUNT?
AS OF RIGHT NOW,
CLAYTON SHIPPING'S REPRESENTED BY KLEINE/WALTERS ADVERTISING.
OH, YES!
OR MORE SPECIFICALLY,
BY THE NEW SENIOR VP, JENNA DAVIS.
OH, YES!
CONGRATULATIONS.
OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JENNA, I KNOW HOW HARD YOU'VE WORKED ON THIS ACCOUNT.
COMING IN SIX, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK--
I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
AS SENIOR VP,
YOU DO UNDERSTAND
THE HOURS ARE ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.
I'M HERE FOR YOU NIGHT AND DAY.
WHAT I'M ALLUDING TO
IN A LESS THAN SUBTLE FASHION IS...
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE UP TO IT?
MR. WALTERS...
DON.
OKAY, DON.
I KNOW THAT WHEN YOU HIRED ME,
YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT...
WELL, THAT I WOULD BE EXPECTING.
BELIEVE ME, I WAS JUST AS SURPRISED.
MY POINT IS...
I WON'T LET YOU DOWN.
OKAY THEN.
[VOMITING]
WHAT'S HER PROBLEM?
ROZ?
SHE THINKS YOU STOLE HER PROMOTION.
CONGRATULATIONS, BY THE WAY, ON LANDING THE ACCOUNT.
THANKS.
NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS.
ANY CHANCE I CAN INTEREST YOU
IN SOME PIZZA AND PASTE-UP THIS EVENING?
I CAN'T. KELLI'S DANCE RECITAL, REMEMBER?
OH, GOSH, YES.
I HAVE IT IN MY CALENDAR.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY MIND IS AT.
YOU OKAY?
EVERYTHING GO ALL RIGHT AT THE DOCTOR'S?
YEAH, IT'S FINE.
I JUST HAVE SO MUCH TO DO BEFORE...
MY WHOLE LIFE, I'VE WANTED A JOB LIKE THIS...
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU--"
"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR," I KNOW.
I JUST DON'T KNOW
HOW I AM GOING TO RAISE A CHILD AND RUN THIS DEPARTMENT.
GUESS I DIDN'T THINK IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, HUH, HONEY?
YOU'LL FIND A WAY.
YOU'LL MANAGE.
MOTHERS DO.
THANKS FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
OH, THE CONFERENCE CALL'S BEEN PULLED UP,
BUT I STILL HAVE A LITTLE TIME.
I'M GOING TO RUN OUT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR
AND GET SOME BABY THINGS.
DON'T FORGOT THE CONTRACTS FROM LEGAL.
I NEED THEM FOR THE CALL.
[BEEPS]
[MAN]: THIS IS THE PHONE COMPANY CALLING.
CAN WE INTEREST YOU IN A GREAT PACKAGE
FOR ONE LOW PRICE,
OFFERING ALL OF OUR TOP--
[CLICKS]
[TOM]: JENNA, HEY, IT'S TOM.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE, I KNOW.
I WAS JUST...
WELL, I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU,
WONDERING WHAT YOU'RE UP TO,
WITH YOUR PLACE, WITH YOUR JOB.
I HOPE IT'S EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
IF YOU GET A CHANCE, CALL ME.
I'D LOVE TO CATCH UP.
ANYWAY, TAKE CARE.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
[WOMAN]: JENNA DAVIS?
YES. SPEAKING.
HI. I'M LYNNE MALLORY.
YOU INQUIRED ABOUT THE PRENATAL PROGRAM?
OH, YEAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING.
DOCTOR MORRIS RECOMMENDED IT.
PLEASE, TELL ME YOU MAKE HOUSE CALLS?
THAT'S WHAT
THE OUTREACH PROGRAM IS ALL ABOUT.
WE PROVIDE A RANGE OF IN-HOME SERVICES.
WHY DID YOUR DOCTOR ASK YOU TO ENROLL?
MY BLOOD PRESSURE'S ELEVATED.
WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.
I'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO ADVISE YOU
ON DIET AND NUTRITION.
WHAT'S YOUR SCHEDULE LIKE?
I'M PAINTING SATURDAY.
IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN COME SUNDAY?
SUNDAY'S GOOD FOR ME. HOW ABOUT NOON?
GREAT. THANKS.
I'LL SEE YOU THEN.
BYE. BYE.
HANG ON, I GOT ANOTHER CALL.
HELLO?
[JENNA]: TOM?
JENNA.
HEY. HOLD ON A SEC.
IS THIS A BAD TIME?
NO, JUST LET ME GET RID OF THE OTHER LINE.
LOOK, I HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.
YEAH.
HOW ARE YOU?
THE USUAL. BUSY, STRESSED.
NEW JOB'S GOT YOU RUNNING RAGGED, HUH?
ACTUALLY, I LOVE IT.
I JUST GOT PROMOTED TO SENIOR VP.
WOW. CONGRATULATIONS.
HOW'S THE CITY?
WHAT I'VE SEEN OF IT.
I'VE BEEN PRACTICALLY LIVING AT THE OFFICE.
THAT CAN'T BE GOOD.
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY--
YOU'RE PROBABLY SITTING AROUND IN YOUR UNDERWEAR RIGHT NOW,
PREPPING A LAYOUT FOR THE PAPER.
GUILTY AS CHARGED.
[CHUCKLES]
SO, UM...
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THINGS.
YEAH?
YEAH.
WHAT KIND OF THINGS?
WELL, YOU KNOW, US THINGS.
REALLY?
YOU SOUND SURPRISED--
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
OH, TOM, HANG ON A SECOND.
MY CELL'S RINGING.
DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT?
YEAH, I'M SORRY.
I WILL CALL YOU BACK, THOUGH.
SURE.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
AND CONGRATS, YOU KNOW, ON EVERYTHING.
[RINGING]
THANKS.
BYE.
HI, MADELINE.
IT'S ME...
YOUR MOMMY.
WELL, IT'S ALMOST TIME
FOR YOU TO COME OUT INTO THE WORLD,
SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU A GUIDED TOUR OF YOUR NEW HOME.
THIS IS YOUR ROOM.
RIGHT NEXT TO MINE.
OKAY, IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS.
SHOOT!
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
ONE MINUTE!
COMING!
YOU MUST BE LYNNE.
THE UNIFORM'S A DEAD GIVEAWAY, HUH?
YEAH. COME IN.
CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
COFFEE OR ANYTHING?
LORD, NO.
ONE MORE CUP, I'LL BE BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS.
HAVE YOU HAD A NON-STRESS TEST BEFORE?
JUST ONCE, AT 18 WEEKS.
OH, OKAY.
AND I'LL HAVE TO TAKE SOME BLOOD AS WELL.
THAT'S NO PROBLEM.
GREAT. SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN 20 MINUTES.
OH, GOOD.
SO WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
COLUMBUS. YOU?
YOU NAME IT.
ARMY BRAT.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A NURSE?
18 YEARS.
BUT WHO'S COUNTING? HOW ABOUT YOU?
I'M CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND SENIOR VP
FOR AN ADVERTISING AGENCY.
HOLY MOLY, THAT EVEN SOUNDS BUSY.
OH! HANDSOME FELLA.
HE THE FATHER?
UM, ACTUALLY...
THERE I GO, STICKING MY NOSE WHERE IT DON'T BELONG.
FORGIVE ME.
NO, NO, NO. IT'S OKAY.
IT'S ACTUALLY NICE TO TALK TO SOMEONE BESIDES A CO-WORKER.
TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I THINK YOU'RE THE FIRST COMPANY I'VE HAD
SINCE I MOVED HERE EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
ON YOUR OWN, ARE YOU?
YEAH. THE JOB WAS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP.
OF COURSE, IF I'D HAD A REASON TO STAY...
WELL, YOU WILL HAVE COMPANY SOON ENOUGH.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
BABY'S HEART RATE LOOKS GOOD.
148. PERFECT.
NO PRE-TERM CONTRACTIONS.
GREAT.
WE'RE DONE.
I JUST NEED YOUR INSURANCE CARD
SO I CAN BILL YOU.
SURE. LET ME GET MY PURSE.
HERE WE GO.
OKAY. OOH.
THERE YOU GO.
YOU'VE GOT A LOVELY HOUSE.
VERY WARM AND INVITING.
GOT GOOD-- WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT--
FUNG...
FUNG-SOMETHING--
FENG SHUI.
I'M SORRY.
MY FAULT.
MY EX ALWAYS USED TO COMPLAIN
THAT I WAS SNEAKING UP ON HIM.
GREAT COLOR SCHEME.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT WILL BE WHEN IT'S FINISHED.
OH, HERE.
GREAT. OH, AND I ALMOST FORGOT.
I'VE GOT SOME NEW PRENATAL VITAMINS FOR YOU.
THEY HAVE HIGHER DOSES OF VITAMINS C AND E,
WHICH MIGHT HELP WITH YOUR CONDITION.
YOU SHOULD TAKE TWO NOW.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH. JUST A LITTLE DIZZY IS ALL.
YOU LOOK EXHAUSTED.
THAT'S NOT THE HALF OF IT.
WHY DON'T YOU LIE DOWN AND HAVE A NAP?
I CAN LET MYSELF OUT.
YOU SURE?
POSITIVE.
YOU LET YOURSELF REST. THERE YOU GO.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS.
THERE YOU GO.
ALL RIGHT, JUST RELAX.
OH, AND HERE'S YOUR CARD.
THANKS.
SO IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, AND I MEAN ANYTHING,
YOU JUST CALL ME, OKAY?
THANK YOU.
BYE.
BYE-BYE.
BYE.
OH!
NO! NO!
PLEASE, PLEASE!
PLEASE!
NO!
IT'S OKAY. I'LL TAKE THOSE.
JENNA?
I'M VERY SORRY.
THESE ARE TO STOP THE MILK COMING IN.
THE HOSPITAL WILL GIVE YOU ENOUGH
TO TAKE WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE RELEASED.
THERE IS A GRIEF COUNSELOR ON STAFF.
I CAN ARRANGE FOR YOU TO SEE HIM.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?
WHEN DID YOU START GOING INTO LABOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I GUESS.
I...
I PASSED OUT.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING BEFORE THAT?
LYNNE CAME BACK SOMEHOW.
LYNNE?
YEAH. MALLORY.
THE PRENATAL NURSE.
OH, SO YOU DID USE THE HOSPITAL'S SERVICES.
WHEN DID SHE SEE YOU?
NOON, YESTERDAY. SUNDAY.
IT'S TUESDAY, JENNA.
WE GAVE YOU A SEDATIVE.
YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP SINCE WE BROUGHT YOU IN.
THIS NURSE, LYNNE MALLORY, YOU SAY?
I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT.
MY BABY...
JENNA...
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU REST RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT,
BUT TRY NOT TO DWELL ON WHAT'S HAPPENED.
WHEN I CONTACT THIS NURSE, I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
DOCTOR...
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?
HOW DID SHE--
WE DON'T KNOW YET.
BECAUSE YOU DELIVERED AT HOME, WE MAY NEVER KNOW FOR CERTAIN.
MOST LIKELY, IT'S CORD RELATED.
THE UMBILICAL CORD COULD HAVE GOTTEN TANGLED
AND DEPRIVED THE BABY OF OXYGEN.
OKAY.
BUT EVEN AN AUTOPSY MIGHT PROVE INCONCLUSIVE.
I WANT TO HAVE A SERVICE, OKAY?
I'LL TELL THE HOSPITAL.
YOU TAKE THESE.
AND YOU REST.
I'LL CALL IN AGAIN LATER.
EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME.
JENNA DAVIS' ROOM.
THANK YOU.
HEY.
TOM?
WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?
?HOW ARE YOU?
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
WHEN YOU DIDN'T GET BACK TO ME,
I CALLED YOUR OFFICE.
AND THEY SAID YOU WERE GETTING READY
TO GO ON MATERNITY LEAVE...
WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
SO I DID THE MATH
AND CAUGHT THE FIRST FLIGHT OUT.
OH, BABE...
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
MUST'VE BEEN AWFUL.
I MEAN, DELIVERING ON YOUR OWN.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
JUST, LIKE, FLASHES...
IT'S OKAY.
IT'LL COME-- IT'LL COME BACK TO YOU.
IT WAS A GIRL.
IT WAS A BABY GIRL.
A LITTLE GIRL AND I LOST HER.
I'M SORRY.
NO. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
HEY, IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.
I SHOULD'VE TOLD YOU.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO TALK,
BUT YOU SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP.
DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
[KNOCKING]
MS. DAVIS.
HELLO.
I'M DALE PENDERGAST, THE HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR.
I WOULDN'T BOTHER YOU UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES,
BUT I'M AFRAID WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
THE NURSE WHO CAME TO SEE YOU.
YOU SAID HER NAME WAS LYNNE MALLORY?
AND SHE TOLD YOU
SHE WAS AFFILIATED WITH THIS HOSPITAL?
YEAH. WELL, NO, NOT SPECIFICALLY.
BUT I APPLIED AND SHE CALLED RIGHT AWAY, SO--
WE HAVE NO LYNNE MALLORY ON OUR STAFF.
BUT I FILLED OUT THE FORMS.
ASK DR. MORRIS.
YES, YES, HE DID CONFIRM THAT.
BUT HE HASN'T SEEN YOU SINCE LAST WEEK.
NO. I SAW THE NURSE.
SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE.
I'M SURE THERE'S AN EXPLANATION.
I DIDN'T IMAGINE ALL THIS! SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE!
SHE WAS WEARING A UNIFORM.
SHE HAD A FETAL MONITOR.
SHE GAVE ME VITAMINS.
SHE TOOK MY BLOOD!
IT'S POSSIBLE SHE WORKS FOR ANOTHER HOSPITAL IN THE AREA.
I'LL MAKE SOME CALLS, SEE IF I CAN LOCATE HER.
I SHOULD TELL YOU,
THE CORONER'S OFFICE HAS REQUESTED AN AUTOPSY,
AND THE POLICE WANT TO QUESTION YOU.
THE POLICE?
IT'S COMMON PROCEDURE IN A CASE LIKE THIS.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S OKAY.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
HEY.
YOU STILL HERE?
YOU LEAVIN'?
THOUGHT I'D GO FOR A WALK.
OKAY, WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.
THE SANDWICHES IN THE CAFETERIA
AREN'T MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT THEY'RE SERVING HERE,
SO COFFEE AND DONUTS.
JENNA DAVIS?
YEAH?
DETECTIVE DANA HOCH,
ROBBERY HOMICIDE.
HOMICIDE?
I'M SORRY, YOU ARE?
TOM ROBBINS.
TOM'S A FRIEND. HE FLEW IN TO HELP.
WELL, RIGHT NOW I NEED TO SPEAK TO MS. DAVIS ALONE,
IF YOU DON'T MIND.
I THINK I'D LIKE TO STAY.
I HAVE AN INTEREST IN WHAT HAPPENED HERE AS WELL.
HOW'S THAT?
TOM'S THE FATHER.
YOU WERE THERE?
NO. I LIVE OUT OF TOWN.
WE'RE NOT TOGETHER.
I SEE.
THEN AS I SAID,
I NEED TO SPEAK TO MS. DAVIS ALONE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S OKAY, TOM.
I'M FINE.
OKAY?
OKAY.
I'LL GET SETTLED IN TO A HOTEL.
BUT I WILL BE RIGHT BACK, OKAY?
I'D LIKE THAT.
OKAY.
WE HAVE THE HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT.
YOU SAY A NURSE CAME TO YOUR HOME,
CLAIMING TO WORK FOR THE HOSPITAL?
YEAH. ONLY IT TURNS OUT SHE DIDN'T.
NO ONE'S EVER HEARD OF HER.
AND YOU THINK THIS PERSON HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE DEATH OF YOUR BABY?
YES.
WHY?
WELL, I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE,
BUT SHE WAS THE LAST PERSON I SAW,
AND NOW SHE'S VANISHED.
WAS SHE INVOLVED WITH THE DELIVERY?
I VAGUELY REMEMBER HER BEING THERE,
BUT I WAS IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
WHEN THEY FOUND YOU, THE UMBILICAL CORD WAS CUT.
CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THAT?
NO. I DON'T REMEMBER ANY OF THAT.
DID YOU GIVE HER MONEY?
NO. SHE SAID SHE'D BILL ME.
MY PHONE!
MY PHONE--HER NUMBER.
IT SHOULD BE IN THE PHONE'S MEMORY
FROM MY CALLER I.D.
[OPERATOR]: WE'RE SORRY,
THE NUMBER YOU HAVE REACHED IS NOT IN SERVICE.
PLEASE CHECK THE NUMBER AND TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.
DAMN!
I'LL TRACE THE NUMBER, SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT.
I'D LIKE TO BRING IN AN ARTIST IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU.
MIGHT GIVE US SOMETHING TO WORK WITH.
NO. SHE'S NOT FAMILIAR.
LOOK, I'VE CHECKED WITH MY ENTIRE STAFF.
THERE ARE FIVE NURSES
WHO ARE PART OF OUR OUTREACH PROGRAM.
TWO OF THEM WERE ON DUTY,
TWO WERE AT HOME WITH THEIR FAMILIES
AND ONE WAS OUT OF STATE.
AND NONE OF THEM HAD ANY CONTACT WITH JENNA DAVIS.
DO YOU MIND IF I SHOW THIS AROUND?
NO. NO, NOT AT ALL.
THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE I SHOULD TELL YOU.
HER BLOOD WORK ON THE DAY SHE WAS BROUGHT IN.
TRACES OF TRANQUILIZERS--
SHORT-ACTING BARBITURATES--
WERE FOUND IN HER SYSTEM.
I CHECKED WITH HER OBSTETRICIAN.
HE NEVER PRESCRIBED ANYTHING.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HIM.
DR. MORRIS. I'LL GIVE YOU THAT NUMBER.
WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?
ANY ABNORMALITIES?
THERE'S AN AUTOPSY SCHEDULED FOR LATER TODAY.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF SOMETHING TURNS UP.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
DETECTIVE.
GIVING BIRTH WHILE UNCONSCIOUS IS EXTREMELY RARE.
I KNOW OF CASES
WHERE THE MOTHER HAS BEEN PUT UNDER GENERAL ANESTHETIC,
BUT EVEN THEN,
ONLY AFTER HAVING HAD A NUMBER OF PRIOR CHILDREN.
AND THIS BUSINESS OF THE NURSE.
I HAVE CHECKED WITH EVERY HOSPITAL
IN A 50-MILE RADIUS,
AND THERE'S NO RECORD OF A LYNNE MALLORY.
THANK YOU.
TOM, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
DO YOU WANT ME TO COME IN?
I COULD MAKE YOU SOMETHING TO EAT...
NO, NO.
I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY EXHAUSTED.
I THINK I'LL JUST LAY DOWN FOR A WHILE.
IF THAT'S OKAY.
YEAH, YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
AND IF YOU LIKE,
I COULD STICK AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
CHECK IN ON YOU.
I WOULD LIKE THAT.
PROMISE ME YOU'LL TAKE IT EASY?
YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE.
I PROMISE.
OKAY. OKAY.
[LULLABY MUSIC PLAYING]
[RINGING]
TOM.
CAN YOU COME OVER NOW?
TOM.
WHAT'S WRONG?
THE MUSIC WENT OFF IN THE NURSERY.
I WENT IN THERE AND I FOUND THE VIDEO CAMERA.
I LEFT IT ON THE DAY THE NURSE WAS HERE,
BUT IT WAS BLANK,
AND SO THEN I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM
AND I CHECKED THE MEDICINE CABINET.
THE BOTTLE OF PRENATAL VITAMINS SHE GAVE ME
THEY'RE GONE.
I MEAN, IT'S LIKE SHE NEVER EVEN EXISTED,
LIKE I IMAGINED ALL THIS IN MY HEAD.
JENNA, IT'S OKAY.
LOOK, THIS IS ALL STILL FRESH.
IF YOU JUST TAKE SOME TIME TO--
NO, NO, NO, THAT'S JUST IT!
IT'S THE OTHER THINGS--
THEY'RE JUST CONFUSING ME.
GOD, I'VE GONE OVER ALL THIS IN MY HEAD
AND IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
WHAT COULD SHE GAIN BY LYING TO ME?
MAYBE THE COP WILL FIND SOMETHING.
RIGHT! SHE THINKS I'M CRAZY TOO.
LOOK, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES...
THANKS!
WITH WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHO WOULDN'T BE A LITTLE CRAZY?
YOU NEED TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT THIS WOMAN
AND LET THE COPS DO THEIR JOB.
GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE TO GRIEVE.
NO. I CAN'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S SOMETHING JUST...
NOT RIGHT ABOUT ALL THIS.
JENNA, YOU NEED TO REALIZE
THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL.
YOU NEED TO CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK.
I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT ALONE HERE.
REALLY?
WILL YOU HELP ME FIND THIS WOMAN?
I'LL STAY AS LONG AS YOU NEED ME.
ARE YOU SURE? I MEAN--
GOD, I HATE WHEN YOU DO THAT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
GREAT.
IT'S THE OFFICE. I'VE BEEN DODGING THEIR CALLS.
I NEED TO TAKE THIS.
YEAH.
JENNA DAVIS.
JENNA, YOU DIDN'T NEED TO COME DOWN.
YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME RESTING.
SURE, AND LOSE MY JOB, TOO.
COULD THEY BE AT HOME?
I NEVER TOOK THE NOTES HOME, DEBBIE.
LOOK AT THIS MESS!
LEGAL NEEDED THE CORRECTED COPY,
SO I STARTED LOOKING.
I LEFT THEM RIGHT HERE ON MY DESK.
WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH...
DAMMIT! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?
HAVE YOU ASKED ROZ?
COULD SHE HAVE COME IN MY OFFICE?
I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HER TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
WHAT'S ALL THE SHOUTING ABOUT?
JENNA.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE.
AND I DIDN'T EXPECT SOMEONE TO SABOTAGE MY HARD WORK.
SABOTAGE?
JENNA'S NOTES ARE MISSING.
THEY NEED TO BE AT THE CLIENT'S.
I HAVE THEM.
YOU?
THEY WERE OUT ON YOUR DESK.
I WANTED TO LOOK THEM OVER BEFORE SENDING THEM ON.
DEBBIE, WOULD YOU EXCUSE US FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?
HE PULLED ME OFF THE ACCOUNT.
IT'S A TEMPORARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE, BUT...
YEAH.
THERE WAS A MIX-UP WITH SOME PAPERWORK.
I GUESS I KIND OF FLEW OFF THE HANDLE.
MM-HMM.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
TOM, CAN IT WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW?
YEAH.
SOMEONE'S AT MY DOOR.
OKAY, BYE.
DETECTIVE?
MIND IF I COME IN?
NO, NO. COME IN. PLEASE.
SO I'M HOPING THIS MEANS YOU HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR ME?
WISH I DID.
I CAN'T FIND ANYONE
RESEMBLING THE NURSE YOU CLAIM YOU MET WITH.
WHAT ABOUT THE PHONE NUMBER?
DEAD END.
ONE OF THOSE PAY-AS-YOU-GO MOBILE PHONES.
BOUGHT OVER THE COUNTER, NO I.D. REQUIRED.
THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?
MS. DAVIS, THE HOSPITAL FOUND EVIDENCE OF TRANQUILIZERS
IN YOUR BLOOD.
TRANQUILIZERS? THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
WERE YOU TAKING ANY MEDICATION AT THE TIME?
NO. JUST THE PRENATAL VITAMINS
THAT LYNNE GAVE ME.
I BET THEY WERE TRANQUILIZERS!
COULD I SEE THEM?
THEY'VE GONE MISSING.
OBVIOUSLY, SHE DRUGGED ME.
SHE GAVE ME SOMETHING TO KNOCK ME OUT.
I WASN'T EVEN DUE FOR TWO MORE WEEKS,
BUT I WENT INTO LABOUR.
WHAT IF SHE GAVE ME PITOCIN
TO JUMPSTART MY DELIVERY?
YOU KNOW ABOUT PITOCIN?
YEAH. I READ ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET
WHEN I WAS FIRST PREGNANT.
I SEE.
I CHECKED WITH THE LAB.
UNFORTUNATELY, PITOCIN IS
A SUBSTANCE THE BODY ALREADY PROCESSES.
IT METABOLIZES QUICKLY
AND WOULDN'T SHOW IN A TOX SCREENING.
IF SHE WAS A NURSE, THEN SHE WOULD KNOW THAT.
OR SHE COULD HAVE HAD ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.
MS. DAVIS, DID YOU MAKE A COMMENT TO YOUR SECRETARY,
"HOW WILL I RUN THIS DEPARTMENT AND RAISE A CHILD?"
YOU WENT TO MY WORK?
I DON'T HAVE TO DEFEND THAT REMARK.
YOU WERE ALSO RECENTLY PROMOTED, CORRECT?
YEAH?
TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO EARN VP STRIPES.
EVEN MORE TO HOLD ONTO THEM.
WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?
SPECULATING, MS. DAVIS.
I'M ONLY SPECULATING.
BASED ON WHAT I'M BEING TOLD BY DOCTORS,
HOSPITAL STAFF, THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH.
YOU THINK I KILLED MY BABY.
[BEEPING]
ABBIE, HOW ARE YOU COMING ALONG WITH THE INTERN EVALUATIONS?
[JENNA]: IS SHE IN?
I WANT TO SEE HER RIGHT NOW!
YOU TOLD A COP I WAS ON DRUGS!
IT'S OKAY, ABBIE.
I WANT TO SEE THE BLOOD WORK FROM MY BABY'S AUTOPSY.
MISS DAVIS, PLEASE--
DO YOU HAVE THE RESULTS FROM THE AUTOPSY?
THIS IS NOT--
THIS MUST BE A MISTAKE.
IT SAYS THE AUTOPSY WAS NEVER PERFORMED.
YOUR CHILD'S REMAINS WERE CREMATED.
WHAT?
I HAVEN'T PLANNED THE SERVICE.
I'M TERRIBLY SORRY.
I CAN ONLY GO BY WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW, AND--
I MEAN, IT MIGHT BE A CLERICAL ERROR.
SO YOU'RE SAYING--
YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS A MISTAKE?
I DON'T BUY IT.
I PROMISE I WILL PERSONALLY LOOK INTO THIS.
SOMEONE'S TAMPERING WITH YOUR RECORDS
AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY.
"YOU'LL LOOK INTO IT?"
I KNOW. I AM TERRIBLY SORRY.
NO, I DON'T WANT YOUR APOLOGY!
I WANT TO KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE.
WHY DON'T YOU CALL HOCH?
YOU WERE QUICK ENOUGH TO CALL HER ABOUT ME.
TELL HER TO INVESTIGATE!
MS. DAVIS, IF YOU'LL JUST LET--
TOM, THANK GOD.
THIS IS TURNING INTO A NIGHTMARE.
JENNA, I MAY HAVE FOUND SOMETHING.
SO I TOOK A LOOK AT THE FOOTAGE FROM THE VIDEO.
NOW, THE CAMERA SHUTS OFF SOON AFTER YOU PUT IT DOWN,
SO THERE'S NO VISUAL OF THE WOMAN.
I ALREADY TOLD YOU SHE'S NOT ON THE VIDEO.
YEAH, I KNOW,
BUT I DID FIND SOMETHING.
SO I DOWNLOADED IT TO MY LAPTOP SO WE COULD BLOW IT UP.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU SEE, AT THE POINT WHEN YOU PUT IT DOWN,
IT'S FRAMING THE WINDOW.
WHAT DO YOU SEE RIGHT THERE?
A CAR?
YEAH. A 2000 FORD TAURUS.
LOOK AT THIS.
A PARTIAL PLATE NUMBER.
NOW, I CONTACTED A FRIEND OF MINE BACK HOME
THAT WORKS AT THE PAPER,
GAVE HIM THIS LICENSE PLATE.
THIS GUY IS DIALED IN TO ALL SORTS OF AGENCIES.
HE'S GOING TO TRACK THIS DOWN FOR US.
TOM...
THAT COP I SPOKE TO...
SHE THINKS I MIGHT HAVE HAD
SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BABY'S DEATH.
THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS!
THEY FOUND DRUGS IN MY SYSTEM.
AND IT GETS WORSE.
THE BABY'S REMAINS WERE CREMATED.
I'VE RUN THROUGH THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
AND THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE
IS THAT THE NURSE WHO TREATED ME WAS AFTER MY BABY.
WHAT?
I KNOW, BUT, LOOK, THERE'S A PATTERN, OKAY?
SHE POSES AS A NURSE,
AND SHE COMES TO MY HOME,
AND THEN SHE GIVES ME TRANQUILIZERS,
AND THEN FORCES THE BIRTH.
YEAH, BUT WHY?
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE TO KIDNAP HER.
OKAY, BUT SOMETHING WENT WRONG,
AND THE BABY DIED, AND SHE PANICKED,
AND SHE TOOK OFF.
DON'T YOU SEE?
I NEED TO FIND THIS WOMAN AND I DON'T KNOW HOW.
OKAY, JUST SLOW DOWN.
SLOW DOWN.
LET'S JUST FOCUS ON WHAT WE HAVE
AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE, OKAY?
HEY...
WE'LL FIND HER.
AND WE'LL FIGURE ALL OF THIS OUT, I PROMISE.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
IT'S THE HOSPITAL.
WHEN?
I CAN'T BE POSITIVE THIS IS HER, YOU UNDERSTAND.
BUT YOU SAW HER?
I'D JUST STARTED MY SHIFT,
AND I SAW A WOMAN I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE
WALKING AWAY FROM MY STATION.
SHE WASN'T ONE OF THE REGULAR NURSES?
NO.
ABOUT AS TALL AS YOU.
SHE HAD LONG BLONDE HAIR, GLASSES--
WHY DIDN'T YOU REPORT HER?
WELL, SHE COULD'VE BEEN A NEW HIRE
OR JUST CAME OFF THE NIGHT SHIFT,
I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU STILL THINK THAT CREMATION ORDER
WAS A CLERICAL ERROR?
I'LL GO CALL DETECTIVE HOCH.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
THANK YOU.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH--
NO, WE'VE HEARD. WE'VE HEARD. IT'S ALL OVER THE HOSPITAL.
I MEAN, STILLBIRTHS ARE RARE ENOUGH THESE DAYS,
BUT TWO IN THE SAME WEEK?
EXCUSE ME?
YEAH, JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE YOURS.
ANOTHER WOMAN'S BABY WAS STILLBORN.
YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW
HOW I COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH HER, DO YOU?
I'M NOT PERMITTED TO GIVE OUT A PATIENT'S INFORMATION.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME FOR A MINUTE?
JENNA, MY FRIEND TRACKED DOWN
THE PLATE NUMBER.
IT WAS A RENTAL.
THE DAY BEFORE YOU WENT INTO LABOUR,
A WOMAN NAMED NICOLE PARKER
PICKED IT UP.
I'VE GOT AN ADDRESS.
COME ON. IT'S A THREE-HOUR DRIVE.
OKAY, BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING I NEED TO CHECK OUT FIRST, ALL RIGHT?
ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE PLACE?
IT'S THE ADDRESS IN THE FILE.
HELL OF A DUMP.
IT IS A NICE TRUCK, THOUGH.
I'M JUST SAYING...
YOU WAIT HERE.
TWO OF US MIGHT SEEM LIKE WE'RE PRESSURING HER.
AREN'T WE?
I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO SEEM LIKE THAT.
AND IT'LL NEED A WOMAN'S TOUCH.
SO YOU WAIT.
OKAY.
CAN I HELP YOU?
MAGGIE CARTER?
HI. I'M JENNA DAVIS.
I'M SORRY, I TRIED TO CALL YOU, BUT YOUR PHONE WAS OUT OF ORDER.
YEAH, I ALREADY TOLD THE DAMN PHONE COMPANY,
THAT THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL.
LOOK, IF YOU'RE SELLING SOMETHING--
THAT'S NOT IT.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR BABY.
I UNDERSTAND SHE WAS STILLBORN.
YOU A COP?
NO.
LOOK...
THE SAME HAPPENED TO MY BABY JUST A FEW DAYS AGO.
WHAT'S IT TO ME?
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AND YOUR BABY.
THERE'S NOTHING TO TELL.
SHE DIED WHEN I GAVE BIRTH.
DOCTORS SAID I HAD TOXEMIA.
BY ANY CHANCE,
WERE YOU TREATED AT HOME BY A NURSE?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE NAME LYNNE MALLORY?
NO.
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS A NURSE,
ONLY IT TURNS OUT SHE WASN'T,
AND NOW MY BABY'S...
DEAD.
SO?
WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME?
THE POLICE DON'T BELIEVE ME, SO I THOUGHT--
WHAT? THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WE COULD HELP EACH OTHER?
WELL, WE CAN'T.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR BABY, BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU.
WAIT! WAIT!
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS WOMAN?
NO.
BUT YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOOK!
ANYTHING?
YOU SAID YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR THIS NICOLE PARKER?
MM-HMM.
LET'S TRY THAT.
WELL, WHAT NOW?
I THINK WE JUST WAIT.
SEE IF ANYBODY SHOWS UP OR COMES OUT.
HOW CAN A WOMAN
WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY HER PHONE BILL
AFFORD A BRAND-NEW SUV?
DIFFERENT PRIORITIES, I GUESS.
I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING JUST DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT THERE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I HAVE AN IDEA.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE SOMEONE'S MAIL.
I'M JUST LOOKING.
IF THERE'S NOTHING SUSPICIOUS,
THEN WE'LL PUT IT BACK.
TOM, GET DOWN.
THAT'S HER!
THAT'S LYNNE MALLORY.
ARE YOU SURE?
LOOK NOTHING LIKE HER PICTURE.
YEAH, I'M SURE.
HER HAIR COLOR IS DIFFERENT,
AND SHE CHANGED THE WAY SHE LOOKS, BUT...
TOM, I AM POSITIVE. THAT'S HER.
FOR OUR SAKES, IT BETTER BE.
SHE'S LEAVING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I WANT TO GET A CLOSER LOOK AT THE HOUSE.
JENNA--
FOLLOW HER, OKAY?
DON'T LOSE HER.
GO, GO, GO, GO!
[RATTLING DOORKNOB]
FREEZE!
STEP DOWN FROM THERE, MISS.
NOW!
IT'S LIKE I TOLD THE ADMINISTRATOR.
A DISPOSAL REQUEST COMES IN,
I MATCH THE NUMBER ON THE FORM...
WITH THE THE ITEM IN STORAGE,
AND I DISPOSE OF IT.
AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA
OF THE CONTENTS, MR. BENDIX?
WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?
ARE WE DONE HERE?
I'D LIKE TO FINISH MY LUNCH.
YEAH. WE'RE DONE.
[DOOR OPENS]
MS. DAVIS, I'M DETECTIVE REESE, ROBBERY HOMICIDE.
CAN I GET YOU A CUP OF COFFEE?
QUITE A STORY YOU TOLD THE ARRESTING OFFICER.
YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY YOU WERE ON THE PROPERTY?
I NEEDED TO TALK TO THE WOMAN WHO LIVES THERE.
I WAS WAITING FOR HER TO SHOW UP.
THE WOMAN IN YOUR REPORT?
YES.
NICOLE PARKER?
YOU JUST THOUGHT SHE MIGHT SHOW?
YES.
MIND ME ASKING HOW YOU TRACED THIS WOMAN HERE?
I WAS MAKING A VIDEO FOR MY BABY
AND THERE WAS A SHOT OF HER CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY.
I TRACED THE LICENSE PLATE THROUGH THE CAR RENTAL AGENCY
TO HER HOME.
THIS TRACE, YOU DID ALL THIS ON YOUR OWN?
YOU MUST HAVE SOME CONNECTIONS.
WANT TO TELL ME ABOUT IT?
OKAY.
CAN I SEE THIS TAPE?
I LEFT IT BACK AT MY HOUSE.
HI. I'M NICOLE PARKER, HERE TO SEE DETECTIVE REESE.
YES.
AM I ALLOWED A PHONE CALL?
THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
THANK YOU.
MS. PARKER? YES.
THANKS FOR COMING DOWN.
OH, MY PLEASURE. DETECTIVE REESE.
TOM?
I'M IN JAIL.
THAT'S HER!
WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY?
GET BACK IN THE ROOM!
WHAT DID YOU DO?
DID YOU GIVE ME DRUGS? DID YOU GIVE ME PITOCIN?
WAS IT IN THE VITAMINS?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT ABOUT THE BABY BOTTLE I SAW AT YOUR HOUSE?
BABY BOTTLE?
I DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN.
YOU LYING BITCH!
[DOOR CLOSES]
DETECTIVE, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
IS THAT THE WOMAN YOU FOUND AT MY HOUSE?
YES. MS. DAVIS THINKS YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE DEATH OF HER CHILD.
SHE CLAIMS A WOMAN
PASSING HERSELF OFF AS A NURSE
DELIVERED THE CHILD
AND THEN TOOK OFF WHEN THE CHILD WAS STILLBORN.
OH.
WELL, OBVIOUSLY,
SHE'S MISTAKEN ME FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
BUT THAT POOR WOMAN.
WHAT SHE'S BEEN THROUGH, LOSING A CHILD LIKE THAT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ARREST HER, ARE YOU?
WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR SENSIBILITIES, MS. PARKER,
BUT SHE WAS BREAKING AND ENTERING--
I DON'T THINK A NIGHT IN JAIL IS GOOD FOR HER, DO YOU?
WELL, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HOME AT THE TIME.
I MEAN, YOU SAW HOW VIOLENT SHE COULD BE.
I MEAN, SHE CAME OUT OF THERE PRETTY--
PRESSING CHARGES, I DON'T KNOW--
AT LEAST FILE A RESTRAINING ORDER.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
I'M JUST LEAVING THE POLICE STATION.
WE HAVE TO MEET.
JENNA.
TOM, THANK GOD.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU'RE FREE TO GO, MS. DAVIS.
YOU'RE LUCKY MS. PARKER'S NOT PRESSING CHARGES.
THIS TIME.
WHO ARE YOU?
TOM ROBBINS.
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?
HE'S JUST-- I'M JUST A FRIEND.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED MORE THAN FRIENDS
IF I CATCH YOU NEAR HER HOUSE, AGAIN.
UNDERSTAND?
I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE FOUND ME.
THE POINT IS I'M EXPOSED.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE CAREFUL.
I WAS CAREFUL!
THERE ARE NO PRINTS TO IDENTIFY,
THE CALLS ARE UNTRACEABLE,
EVEN THE FETUS WAS DISPOSED OF--
ALL RIGHT, STOP.
THE LESS I KNOW THE BETTER.
WHY THE HELL DID I LET YOU TALK ME INTO THIS?
MAYBE IF YOU'D MANAGED YOUR BOOKS BETTER,
YOU'D HAVE HAD OTHER OPTIONS.
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
AS LONG AS WE DON'T PANIC, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
YOU COULD LEAVE TOWN FOR A WHILE.
NO, NO.
THAT WOULD RAISE A RED FLAG.
BESIDES, I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT MY SHARE OF THE MONEY.
WHAT'S KEEPING THEM?
THEY'RE FLYING IN TOMORROW.
THE PAPERWORK'S ALMOST FINISHED.
IF YOU'D HAD HER LOCKED UP,
WE'D ALL BE IN THE CLEAR.
NO. IT WAS THE SMART PLAY.
NOW SHE LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
WHAT IF SHE COMES BACK?
[STARTS ENGINE]
[CAR DRIVES AWAY]
I LOST NICOLE
AFTER SHE WENT INTO THE BUILDING.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
HER PHONE BILL.
MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.
YOU CAN'T OPEN HER MAIL.
THAT'S A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
I SAW A BABY'S BOTTLE ON THE TABLE IN HER HOUSE.
WHAT DOES THAT PROVE?
IN THE POLICE STATION,
SHE SAID THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT,
THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE CHILDREN.
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S WHY SHE POSED AS A NURSE.
SHE WANTED A BABY, OUR BABY.
HEY, MAYBE SHE CAN'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN OF HER OWN,
SO SHE CAME UP
WITH THIS WHOLE CRAZY PLAN
TO STEAL ONE,
AND SOMETHING WENT WRONG,
AND OUR BABY DIED.
JENNA, LISTEN TO ME.
YOU'RE TAKING IT TOO FAR.
JUST CALL HOCH,
TELL HER WE'VE FOUND NICOLE PARKER,
AND LET THE POLICE INVESTIGATE.
HOCH ISN'T LISTENING.
SHE SUSPECTS ME.
SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE HOW THIS ALL GOES TOGETHER.
[MAN]: BENDIX HERE.
SORRY, WRONG NUMBER.
DO YOU EVEN HEAR ME?
WOULD YOU JUST STOP FOR A MINUTE?
SHE LIED TO ME.
SHE WAS SETTING ME UP FOR SOMETHING--
YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH THIS--
MY BABY DIED!
SHE WAS MY BABY, TOO!
LOOK, WHAT HAPPENED WAS TERRIBLE.
I'M HERE FOR YOU.
I AM.
BUT I AM NOT GOING TO SIT BACK
AND WATCH YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF.
FINE, LEAVE THEN.
ME LEAVE?
WELL, THAT WOULD BE A SWITCH, WOULDN'T IT?
HERE WE GO, BACK TO THE PAST.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT LEFT FOR THE BETTER DEAL.
YOU COULD'VE ASKED ME TO STAY.
YOU KNOW I WASN'T GOING TO STAND IN YOUR WAY.
MAYBE I WANTED YOU TO.
THEN YOU SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING.
I CAN'T READ MINDS.
SEE, THAT'S EXACTLY THE PROBLEM.
WE WERE TOGETHER TWO YEARS.
YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN ME BETTER THAN THAT.
YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME YOU WERE PREGNANT.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
IT WAS A SURPRISE TO ME.
OKAY, I DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL I WAS ON THE JOB,
AND I WAS ALREADY SIX WEEKS, AND--
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YOU THINK...
YOU THINK I WOULDN'T CARE FOR MY OWN CHILD?
I DIDN'T...
I DIDN'T WANT TO BURDEN YOU, OKAY?
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE
ONE OF THOSE WOMEN
WHO WOULD TRY TO TRAP YOU OR GUILT YOU--
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
TALK ABOUT NOT KNOWING SOMEONE.
I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT THAT.
[WOMAN]: THANK YOU FOR CALLING SEVERS ADOPTION AGENCY.
OUR OFFICE IS NOW CLOSED.
PLEASE CALL BACK DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS.
AN ADOPTION AGENCY.
YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S SUSPICIOUS?
OKAY, IT'S WEIRD.
WE CAN'T JUST JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.
MAYBE SHE CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN.
OR MAYBE SHE'S LOOKING TO ADOPT.
AND YOU'RE NOT JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS?
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
A TRANSCRIPT FROM A DETECTIVE REESE.
HE THOUGHT I MIGHT BE INTERESTED.
I CAN EXPLAIN THAT--
SAVE IT.
DETECTIVE, I FOUND HER. TRUST ME ON THIS.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP, MS. DAVIS.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I ADVISE YOU
TO RETURN HOME IMMEDIATELY AND SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL.
ON WHAT GROUNDS?
NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE, FOR STARTERS.
WHAT?
SEE IF THIS FITS.
A YOUNG, SINGLE WOMAN ACCEPTS A HOT JOB OFFER
ONLY TO LEARN SHE'S PREGNANT.
THEN SHE GETS A BIG PROMOTION.
DECIDING IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGHER THAN SHE THOUGHT,
SHE RESEARCHES THE INTERNET,
FINDS A WAY--
AND SELF-TERMINATES THE PREGNANCY.
TO COVER HER TRACKS,
SHE MANUFACTURES A MYSTERIOUS NURSE--
IF I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THIS BABY,
THEN WHY WOULD I HAVE WAITED UNTIL SHE WAS DUE?
I MEAN, PUT TOGETHER A WHOLE NURSERY!
TAKEN VIDEOS!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD DO THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK, MS. DAVIS.
I ADVISE YOU TO RETURN HOME IMMEDIATELY
OR I'LL COME AND GET YOU MYSELF.
JENNA, WHAT?
HOCH WANTS TO CHARGE ME WITH NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
TOM, DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY?
NO.
I CAN'T GO THE POLICE.
IF THEY CHARGE ME,
BY THE TIME THIS GOES TO TRIAL,
THAT WOMAN WILL BE LONG GONE.
I'M NOT GOING BACK UNTIL I HAVE ANSWERS.
I WANT TO GO TO THAT ADOPTION AGENCY.
IT'S MY ONLY LEAD.
SAY YOU'RE RIGHT.
IF YOU GO BACK THERE,
YOU'RE GOING TO TIP THEM OFF.
THEY PROBABLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
THEY MIGHT RECOGNIZE
A SINGLE WOMAN NAMED JENNA DAVIS,
BUT THEY WON'T SUSPECT MR. AND MRS. TOM ROBBINS?
THIS IS THE PLACE NICOLE PARKER WENT IN.
HELLO.
HI.
MR. AND MRS. ROBBINS FOR MR. SEVERS.
HONEY, RELAX.
I CAN'T HELP IT. I'M NERVOUS.
PLEASE, COME IN.
[RECEPTIONIST]: SEVERS ADOPTION AGENCY.
HAVE A SEAT.
I'M DOLAN SEVERS.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU TODAY?
WELL, WE'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING.
WE THOUGHT WE'D START HERE,
SINCE WE'VE HEARD
SO MANY GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOUR AGENCY.
REALLY? FROM WHERE?
YOU DON'T MAKE THE COVER OF A MAJOR MAGAZINE
UNLESS YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
WELL, WE DO WHAT WE CAN.
WE ARE A CLIENT- CENTERED AGENCY
AND OUR GOAL IS TO HELP YOU MAKE
THE RIGHT DECISION
IN REGARDS TO PLANNING YOUR FAMILY.
EACH YEAR, WE PLACE APPROXIMATELY 120 CHILDREN
FROM ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
AND FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL.
WELL, NOW YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT US,
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELVES.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO BEEN MARRIED?
HAPPILY MARRIED.
THREE YEARS.
ADOPTION IS A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT THE MATTER THROUGH ENTIRELY?
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
IT'S THE CORRECT CHOICE FOR YOU--
WE PLANNED ON GETTING PREGNANT ON OUR HONEYMOON, BUT...
IT TURNS OUT...
I CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN.
WE'VE TRIED FERTILITY DRUGS, INVITRO--
WE JUST WANT A BABY.
I UNDERSTAND.
DO YOU HAVE A SEX IN MIND?
GIRL. BOY.
I'M SORRY, GIRL.
MADELINE, RIGHT?
YOU REMEMBERED.
BASED ON THE CHILDREN'S STORY.
YOU TOLD ME ON OUR THIRD DATE--
MY GOSH, THAT'S RIGHT.
AFTER WE GOT BACK FROM DINNER.
CURRENTLY,
I HAVE THREE CHILDREN YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN AN INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION,
THERE IS A VERY LOVELY SIX-MONTH-OLD KOREAN GIRL.
YOU WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TRAVEL TO MEET HER.
AND I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN OF SPECIAL NEEDS--
SO LONG AS SHE'S HEALTHY.
AND WHITE.
CAUCASIAN, HONEY.
WE'RE NOT PREJUDICED,
WE JUST WANT A CHILD
THAT WON'T BE
OBVIOUSLY PERCEIVED AS ADOPTED.
EXCUSE ME.
THEY'RE HERE ALREADY?
I'M GOING TO NEED A COUPLE OF MORE MINUTES.
LET THEM SEE THE CHILD.
TELL THEM I'M WITH OTHER CLIENTS.
MR. AND MRS. ROBBINS, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.
DEMAND FOR A HEALTHY WHITE BABY, BOY OR GIRL, IS GREAT.
THOUGH I DID RECENTLY PLACE A CHILD
WHICH FITS THAT DESCRIPTION.
THAT COUPLE HAD BEEN WAITING
FOR ALMOST A YEAR.
ANOTHER YEAR?
HONEY, I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.
MR. SEVERS, IF THIS IS ABOUT MONEY--
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, MR. ROBBINS.
IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CHILD.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
MY SECRETARY HAS SOME FORMS YOU CAN FILL OUT.
ONCE I HAVE ALL YOUR INFORMATION,
THEN I CAN GET
A BETTER FEEL FOR YOUR NEEDS.
ELLEN, COULD I HAVE
AN APPLICATION FOR THESE NICE FOLKS?
SHE'S SO LOVELY.
[MR. SEVERS]: MR. AND MRS. BENNINGS,
I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
[MR. BENNINGS]: TAKE YOUR TIME.
[MRS. BENNINGS]: SHE'S SO LOVELY.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING IN.
YOU CAN MAIL US THE APPLICATION
ONCE YOU'VE FILLED IT OUT.
THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BYE-BYE.
BYE.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
COME ON.
MR. SEVERS, MY WIFE WAS WONDERING
IF WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO TAKE HER HOME WITH US TONIGHT.
TO THE HOTEL.
SO WE CAN BEGIN TO BOND WITH THE CHILD
BEFORE WE GET ON THE PLANE TOMORROW--
I'M SORRY.
THOUGH I DIDN'T MIND ARRANGING THIS ADDITIONAL VISIT,
BY LAW, WE CAN'T RELEASE YOUR BABY
UNTIL THE PAPERWORK IS IN ORDER.
BUT THAT'LL ALL BE FINALIZED IN THE MORNING.
JUST ONE MORE DAY, SHE'LL BE YOURS.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THE PLACE SEEMED LEGIT.
SEVERS DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH
WHEN I TALKED ABOUT MONEY.
TOM, BACK THERE...
WHEN I SAW THAT BABY...
LOOK, I KNOW IT'S HARD.
NO, NO, IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
I MEAN, I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY.
CALL IT WOMAN'S INTUITION, MATERNAL INSTINCT,
I DON'T KNOW, BUT...
SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT THIS PLACE.
I CAN FEEL IT.
WELL, WE KNOW NICOLE STOPPED HERE,
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY.
IT'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH
TO START MAKING WILD ACCUSATIONS.
UNLESS WE HAD SOME PROOF.
MAN, THIS GUY
IS REALLY BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL.
TWO STAKEOUTS.
WE SHOULD HAVE SOME DONUTS OR SOMETHING.
TOM, DO YOU THINK I'D MAKE A GOOD MOTHER?
WHAT?
OF COURSE YOU'D BE A GOOD--
NO, I MEAN IT.
WHAT IF I WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN MY CAREER
THAT I TOOK MY CHILD FOR GRANTED?
LIKE YOUR MOM?
YEAH.
WHAT IF I TURNED OUT JUST LIKE HER?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO DOWN THAT PATH.
THINGS COULD BE DIFFERENT IF YOU HAD SOME SUPPORT.
AFTER YOU LEFT, I WONDERED...
YOU KNOW?
DID I BLOW IT?
DID I SETTLE FOR A LESSER ME BY LETTING YOU GO?
DO YOU REALLY...
DO YOU REALLY THINK IT COULD BE DIFFERENT?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE BOTH LOVE OUR CAREERS SO MUCH.
WHAT'D WE HAVE, TWO NIGHTS A WEEK?
WHEN WE WERE LUCKY.
SURE DID CRAM A WEEK'S WORTH OF THINGS
INTO THOSE TWO NIGHTS, THOUGH.
SHUT UP!
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
WE CAN'T RAISE A CHILD TWO NIGHTS A WEEK.
LATE NIGHTS AT THE OFFICE
AND DINNERS DOWNTOWN
WON'T CUT IT.
OKAY, SO WE STAY HOME, ORDER IN.
ANY GOOD SZECHUAN PLACES NEAR YOUR PLACE?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
TO TRY AGAIN?
TOM, THERE HE IS.
HE'S GOING TO SEE US.
[ENGINE STARTING]
WHAT WAS THAT?
THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.
COME ON.
[JANGLING]
IT'S WHERE MY SECRETARY KEEPS THE KEYS TO MY OFFICE.
[TOM]: I REMEMBER THE NAME WAS BENNINGS.
YOU CHECK THE COMPUTER, I'LL LOOK AT THE FILES.
I THINK I FOUND THE BENNINGS FILE.
"DEAR MR. AND MRS. BENNINGS,
"THIS LETTER IS TO INFORM YOU THAT WE HAVE A MATCH,
"A HEALTHY BABY GIRL FROM EDUCATED PARENTS...
FOR $225,000."
HEY, LOOK AT THIS.
THERE'S A LIST OF NICOLE'S EXPENSES.
PITOCIN, TRANQUILIZERS...
BENDIX, HISTOLOGY.
BENDIX?
WHAT'S BENDIX?
THAT'S THE GUY FROM THE PHONE BILL.
HOSPITAL MORGUE.
MR. BENDIX, PLEASE.
HE'S ON A DAY SHIFT.
CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?
WHY WOULD SHE BE CALLING THE MORGUE?
THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE...
FROM THE BABY THAT THE BENNINGS ARE ADOPTING--
DOES IT SAY WHO THE BIRTH MOTHER IS?
NO, IT'S NOT HERE.
HANG ON. I'LL CHECK THE OTHER FILES.
HEY, I'VE GOT A RECEIPT HERE FOR SERVICES RENDERED.
IT'S MADE OUT TO MAGGIE CARTER.
TOM, LISTEN TO THIS.
IT'S AN EMAIL
SENT FROM NICOLE PARKER AT 6:00 A.M.,
ON THE 17TH OF THE MONTH.
"BABY DELIVERED.
SWITCH SUCCESSFUL."
THE 17TH IS THE MORNING I GAVE BIRTH.
[DOOR OPENING]
SOMEONE'S HERE.
COME ON.
I LEFT THE FILE OPEN.
COME ON.
THE EVIDENCE!
FORGET IT.
THE POLICE WILL GRAB IT.
MY GOD, TOM, THEY STOLE OUR BABY
AND REPLACED HER WITH MAGGIE CARTER'S STILLBORN.
YEAH, BUT HOW WOULD THEY GET--
THE MORGUE.
THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE--
AT LEAST NOT A REAL ONE.
IF WE COULD FIND IT,
WE COULD TAKE IT TO THE POLICE,
AND THEY COULD VERIFY IT.
TOM, THAT LITTLE GIRL THAT THE BENNINGS ARE TAKING...
IT'S MADELINE.
JENNA, DON'T...
TOM, I KNOW THAT'S MADELINE.
IT'S OUR LITTLE GIRL.
WE CAN'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
THOSE FILES AREN'T CONCRETE ENOUGH.
CONCRETE ENOUGH TO BE POSSIBLE.
LOOK, WE NEED TO SEE SEVERS AGAIN,
FLUSH HIM OUT,
FIND OUT WHERE THEY'RE TAKING THE BABY
AND BE THERE TO GET HER BACK.
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE'S A PART OF THIS.
MAYBE HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS OBTAINED ILLEGALLY.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT?
NO.
OKAY...
IF WE CAN VERIFY IT,
THEN THE POLICE WILL HAVE TO INVESTIGATE.
WOULD YOU SEE THAT THESE FILES ARE SENT OVER TO CHILD SERVICES?
MR. SEVERS.
OH, MR. AND MRS. ROBBINS?
BACK SO SOON?
YES. I KNOW YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING US,
BUT DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT?
PLEASE.
WELL, DID YOU HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART
ABOUT ONE OF THE CHILDREN I MENTIONED?
ACTUALLY--
WE'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE BABY WE SAW YESTERDAY.
THE LITTLE GIRL.
I'M SORRY, BUT SHE'S ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING?
WHAT I MEAN IS,
HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'RE THE RIGHT FIT?
MR. ROBBINS, WE SCREEN ALL OUR APPLICANTS
VERY CAREFULLY.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE BIRTH MOTHER?
DOESN'T SHE HAVE ANY SAY IN THIS?
[TOM]: MAYBE WE COULD MEET WITH HER?
I'M SORRY, BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
NOW, YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO SCHEDULE
A FORMAL APPOINTMENT--
HAVE THE BENNINGS MET HER?
HAVE YOU MET HER? THE BIRTH MOTHER?
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?
MR. SEVERS,
WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THAT BABY'S BEEN STOLEN.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
THAT'S JENNA DAVIS YOU'RE TALKING TO.
I'D WATCH WHAT I SAID IF I WERE YOU.
THANK YOU.
IS THE BIRTH MOTHER'S NAME JENNA DAVIS?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
AND I WOULD LIKE THE BOTH OF YOU TO LEAVE.
I THINK YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
CALL FOR SECURITY.
I WANT THE TWO OF YOU OUT OF MY OFFICE--RIGHT NOW!
AND I WANT MY BABY!
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PLACE.
THEY'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO MOVE THE BABY.
DETECTIVE HOCH, PLEASE.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
ROBBERY HOMICIDE.
IT'S JENNA DAVIS. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME.
ARE YOU BACK IN TOWN?
I FIGURED OUT HOW THEY DID IT.
THE SEVERS' ADOPTION AGENCY IS BEHIND IT.
DOLAN SEVERS HIRED A WOMAN NAMED NICOLE PARKER
TO POSE AS A NURSE.
CLAIMING SHE WAS LYNNE MALLORY,
SHE SWITCHED MY BABY WITH A STILLBORN
SO THEY COULD SELL HER.
AND IT'S HAPPENING TODAY-- WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
MISS DAVIS--
I CAN PROVE IT.
PLEASE, DETECTIVE!
IF SHE WAS YOUR BABY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
YOU HAVE EVIDENCE? A PAPER TRAIL?
YES.
THEY USED MAGGIE CARTER'S STILLBORN.
NICOLE PARKER PAID OFF
SOME TECHNICIAN AT THE MORGUE
NAMED BENDIX
TO MAKE THE CREMATION LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT.
THEIR NAMES ARE IN A FILE AT THE ADOPTION AGENCY.
DETECTIVE, A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST WILL PROVE THIS IS MY BABY--
LOOK, I CAN'T PROMISE ANYTHING.
COME BACK IN AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
CAN'T.
NOT WITHOUT MY BABY.
WHAT'D SHE SAY?
WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
TOM, IF WE CAN GET THE BABY, THEY CAN RUN A DNA TEST.
IT'S OUR ONLY CHANCE.
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY'RE KEEPING HER.
SEVERS WILL WANT TO BE AT THE EXCHANGE.
HE WANTS HIS MONEY.
THAT'S WHAT HE'S IN IT FOR.
SO IT'S HIS MOVE, THEN.
HARD AS THIS IS.
WE WAIT.
AND WE FOLLOW HIM.
MR. BENNINGS, DOLAN SEVERS.
GOOD NEWS, YOUR FINAL PAPERWORK JUST CAME IN.
LISTEN, I KNOW YOU FOLKS ARE IN A HURRY TO FLY BACK HOME,
SO WHAT IF BRING YOUR BABY WITH ME TO YOUR HOTEL
AND YOU CAN PAY ME THERE?
WELL, THE SHREDDING'S DONE.
IT'S ALL GOING TO HELL. I CAN FEEL IT.
WE SHOULD JUST MAKE A RUN FOR IT.
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL WE GET THAT MONEY.
NOW GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF.
YOU FINISH THE PAPERWORK,
AND I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I'M LEAVING WITH THE BABY.
[TOM]: JENNA, LOOK!
WHAT SHOULD WE DO? SHOULD WE FOLLOW HER?
NO. NO, NO, NO. WE WAIT FOR SEVERS.
HERE WE GO.
JENNA, COME ON! WE'RE GOING TO LOSE HIM.
YOU FOLLOW... GO! GO.
DETECTIVE REESE, PLEASE...
DETECTIVE, IT'S JENNA DAVIS.
YOU'D BETTER COME AND ARREST ME.
I'M AT THE PROCLAMATION HOTEL.
BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT NICOLE PARKER BITCH
TAKE MY BABY.
DON'T TURN AROUND OR I'LL MAKE A SCENE.
SURPRISED?
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO STEAL MY BABY?
YOU'VE GOT NOTHING ON ME.
SAVE IT FOR THE POLICE.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT
YOUR CONNECTION AT THE MORGUE
AND ABOUT THE OTHER BABY.
GO ON, GET OUT OF HERE.
YOU CAN WALK FOR ALL I CARE.
I JUST WANT MY BABY.
AND YOU'LL JUST KEEP QUIET?
YEAH.
IT'S MORE OF A CHANCE THAN YOU GAVE ME.
MR. SEVERS.
WHERE'S OUR BABY?
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
THAT'S OUR BABY!
MISS DAVIS!
MISS DAVIS, PUT THE CHILD DOWN!
IT'S MY BABY.
PUT THE CHILD DOWN NOW.
THEY STOLE HER.
AND THEY WERE GOING TO SELL HER.
I AM NOT LETTING HER GO.
STOP HER!
GET HER!
DETECTIVE REESE?
I'M REESE. WHAT'S GOING ON?
DETECTIVE HOCH.
YOUR OFFICE TOLD ME WHERE TO FIND YOU.
I'M NOT HERE TO STEP ON YOUR TOES,
BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
IT'S AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT FOR NICOLE PARKER,
A.K.A. LYNNE MALLORY, AMONGST OTHERS.
DETECTIVE, WE HAVE A FLIGHT TO CATCH.
CAN WE HAVE OUR CHILD NOW?
I'M AFRAID IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.
I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
IT'S OKAY.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HURT HER.
IT'S LIKE YOU SAID--
A SIMPLE DNA TEST, THIS WILL ALL BE CLEARED UP.
WE'LL HAVE HER BACK SOON.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'LL WANT THESE TESTS DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
OF COURSE.
AFTER I GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH YOU,
I RAN A BACKGROUND CHECK ON THIS NICOLE PARKER.
SHE'S A FORMER OBSTETRICS NURSE
WHO DID TIME FOR DEALING DRUGS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
SOMEHOW, SHE HOOKED UP WITH SEVERS...
WHO RAN A MOSTLY LEGITIMATE BUSINESS.
BUT WHENEVER THE MONEY WAS RIGHT,
HE'D GET NICOLE TO FIND SOME WOMAN DOWN ON HER LUCK,
LIKE MAGGIE CARTER,
TO GET PREGNANT AND SELL THEM THE BABY.
SEVERS WOULD DOCTOR THE RECORDS
TO MAKE THE PARENTS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE EDUCATED, GOOD STOCK.
BUT THEN MAGGIE CARTER'S BABY WAS STILLBORN.
YES.
SO NICOLE CAME UP WITH A PLAN.
KEEP THE BABY ON ICE WITH BENDIX AT THE MORGUE,
FIND A REPLACEMENT,
MAKE A SWAP,
AND DISPOSE OF THE REMAINS.
IT'S ILLEGAL TO ACCEPT MONEY SOLELY IN EXCHANGE FOR A BABY,
BUT IT'S DIFFICULT TO PROVE.
STILL, THE FEDS HAVE SHUT DOWN THE ADOPTION AGENCY.
THEY'RE PREPARING A LAUNDRY LIST OF CHARGES
AGAINST NICOLE AND SEVERS,
AMONG THEM FELONY KIDNAPPING.
AS FOR THE OTHER BABIES THEY'VE ALREADY SOLD,
WE'LL LIKELY NEVER KNOW.
YOU WERE LUCKY.
JENNA.
THIS IS NOT EXACTLY HOW I'D IMAGINED THE DELIVERY,
BUT CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU HAVE A BABY GIRL.
HI, MADELINE.
SHE LOOKS LIKE ME, DON'T YOU THINK?
EXCUSE ME.
HI.
I MISSED YOU.
ME TOO.
WHERE ARE ALL YOUR THINGS?
DON'T TELL ME YOU CHECKED THEM ALREADY.
NO. THAT'S IT.
JUST YOUR CAMERA?
YOU'RE NOT GOING?
LOOK, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT ME GOING BACK AND FORTH,
BUT THEN I REALIZED...
EVERYTHING I NEED IS RIGHT HERE.
TOM, YOU DIDN'T JUST QUIT YOUR JOB?
IT'S OKAY.
I TALKED TO A GUY AT THE LOCAL PAPER,
AND HE SAID THERE MIGHT BE AN OPENING NEXT MONTH.
ARE YOU SURE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT?
LOW PRESSURE, A STEADY PAYCHECK.
WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU WANT ME TO GO?
OH, NO, HONEY!
NO, NO, NO, NO!
IT'S JUST...
I GAVE NOTICE JUST TWO HOURS AGO.
WHAT?
WITH EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN THROUGH,
A SIX-WEEK LEAVE OF ABSENCE
DIDN'T SEEM LIKE NEARLY ENOUGH TIME.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT MONEY IN THE MEANTIME?
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
YOU KNOW, AT LEAST WE FINALLY HAVE
OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.
ANYWAY...
I'VE GOT AN ANGLE ON A NEW FREELANCE STORY.
OH, YEAH? OH, YEAH.
I'M CALLING IT "NEW BEGINNINGS."
