Matthew, please.

Please.

Come on, baby.

Come on.

I'm

sorry,

honey. Did the doorbell wake him? No,
he's been crying like this ever since I

got off work an hour ago.

My second one had colic. Oh, I thought
I'd never make it, but somehow you do.

But today's your lucky day.

You've won a free makeover.

Oh, is this from that questionnaire I
filled out at the mall? That's right,

if now's a bad time... Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, jeez, I've never won anything
before.

A makeover, huh?

Oh, well, come on in.

age they can be so demanding, can't
they?

But honey, it's worse, isn't it?

Of course it is. Now, with a little bit
of water, I can mix these two shapes and

come up with something real nice.

Just a bit in a cup, okay?

Oh, yeah.

What does your husband do?

appointment today, so...

Ready?

This is Matthew?

Yes. That was taken three months ago.

I can't believe you just let her in.

She said I had won a contest.

And you fell for that? Denise, Mrs.
Bradford. I had filled out some card.

did I know that she wasn't who she said
she was?

You didn't ask her to prove it? This is
not productive.

We have to move quickly. I need to ask
some questions.

Mrs. Bradford.

Could you find a more current photo of
your grandson?

Also the hospital papers, so we'll have
the footprint, the blood type.

I'd have to dig for it. Then dig.

Please.

Denise,

can you think of anyone who would want
to hurt you by taking Matthew, his

father, an old boyfriend maybe?

A jealous girlfriend of a guy you see.

Matty's father was long gone before he
was even born.

And I don't have that many friends, let
alone enemies.

How could I have let her in?

Denise, I know this is hard, but you
have to concentrate.

Have you ever seen this woman before?

No. Think now.

When you were shopping or at work.

Or coming home from work, was anyone
ever following you?

I don't know.

A face you might remember from two
places.

It might not even be this woman. It
might be someone who was following you

her. I know I should have known better,
but Maddie was just being so fuzzy, and

she just seemed so nice.

This is a soy -based formula.

Does Matthew have a lactose intolerance?

Yes. He gets sick if he has milk.

He has a really bad allergic reaction.

Vomiting and diarrhea.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. She doesn't know she's going
to give him milk.

Could the illness be life -threatening?

If she keeps giving him... Bill, he'll
be hydrated in a couple of days.

All right. It's all right.

She's got a 90 -minute jump on us. For
the next day and a half, nothing else

matters.

If you had plans, you don't have them
anymore.

We're all doing double shifts.

The odds of finding a kidnapped victim
drop like a rock after 30 hours. On top

of that, Dr. Huizenga says that Matthew
could die of dehydration in the same

amount of time. So speed is critical.

Some of you will man at 800 hotline
number. That's a national hookup. Sid, I

want you to head up the search team.

Sid. Boss, Sid's in Rhode Island with
her family.

Ah.

Okay, uh, the suspect's female.

In her 40s, red hair, matronly. So keep
your eyes open. She doesn't look like

some maniac who's going to stick out in
a crowd.

Look, this is a case for second sight.
So don't shrug off your hunches. And

let's talk it out between us. This is a
team effort.

Any questions?

Go.

Boss, Mrs. Scali.

Oh, hi, honey.

Listen, Mr. Hearst can't drive Tommy and
David to the bus station tomorrow for

the school trip to Washington.

He wants to know if you could do it. I
don't think I'm even going to make it

home tonight.

How come?

We got a kidnapping.

A baby, six months old.

Where was the mother?

Right there with him. She just took her
eyes off him for a second.

God.

How could she let him out of her sight?

The baby was abducted from the living
room. A mother should have the right to

feel safe in her own home.

We have to go. We're chasing the clock
on this.

Yeah.

Call me when you can.

Kiss the kids for me.

Hey, Mom.

Do you think it's walking distance from
the Smithsonian Institution to the

Lincoln Memorial?

What's the matter?

Hotline, East Bridge PD.

The child was in a stroller, left
unattended.

Where was this?

Can you tell me exactly where in Cochran
Park?

Send an officer right away.

Have we heard anything from the bus
station?

Not yet.

Matthew Bradford was abducted around 10
o 'clock this morning from his home in

the Oak Hill area.

The suspect is a female Caucasian, red
hair, and approximately 38 years old. If

you have any information as to the child
or suspect's whereabouts, contact the

East Bridge Police Department at 1 -800
-1555 -LOST.

We have been going all day. I am stuck.

Hi, can I help you? Yeah, first of all,
have you seen this woman or this child

at all today?

No, sir, not that I remember.

Will that be for here or to go?

Let's go.

We don't have time to stop.

The boss has said repeatedly that you
can't take seven in a moving patrol car.

This is an emergency situation.

Size is going to know. You say that now.

And then we're eating while we're
driving, we get into a high -speed

-da -bing, secret sauce all down the
front of our uniforms. Then they'll

All right, lead in the parked patrol
car.

This is to go.

I'll have a chicken sandwich, onion
rings, a piece of apple pie, a little

cream, not too much, and a fudge bar and
a large diet cola.

I'll put it on this tab.

Yo, Jeff, you're up.

I'm going to get a tofu burger with
extra sprouts.

You know, I used to see those parents,
you know, have their kids on a leash

they're a pool or something. I think,
come on, you're going to give the kid a

complex. But nowadays, geez, with my own
kids, I... Hey, where are you going?

I think I saw her going to the restroom
when she had long blonde hair.

Police officer.

Leave behind.

Take it easy. We'll get it all
straightened out.

Right now.

What's up?

Uh, boss, this is, uh, Mr. Dockett. He's
the manager.

Boss?

You mean the commish?

Wow.

C1.

Must be something pretty big going down.

What are we talking here, guys? A 10
-19?

A 4 -11?

No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

It's got to be a 10 -17.

What do you guys got?

Mike and I tracked a suspect here. Now,
Mr. Dockett says she checked in

yesterday alone.

Then he saw her with a baby earlier
today.

She registered in room 12 under the name
Deborah Smith.

Deborah Smith.

Some alias, huh, boss?

Mr.

Dockett. Could you open this door for
us, please?

I've waited my whole life for this
moment.

She's ditched.

She may have left in a hurry, but she
didn't leave much behind.

Excuse me.

Dr. Beck negotiated eight calls here.

Call the last one of us first.

ISL bus schedule.

Boss, boss, over here.

What do you got?

She was here.

I thought you two were here all day.

Yes, sir. Then how did she get by you?
Sir, I swear, we checked every infant we

saw.

Maybe she smuggled them out in a bag. I
remember that, though. I saw her within

the last hour. Which bus is left here in
the last hour?

A 130 to Toronto, a 140 to Milwaukee,
and a 2 o 'clock to Baltimore.

All right, Papa Doctor, this is Jarrett.
Take off after the 140. Now, go!

Hastings, Tanzini, you chase down the 2
o 'clock. My gut says the border.

Call ahead. See if the state troopers
can help us intercept this bus. Let's

How could anyone get so rude after they
steal a kid? I don't get it. Do you?

Stan, if I were ever to kill anyone, it
would be because they harmed my

children.

Don't they see the light?

Come on!

What are you doing? Looking for real?

Then ours must be the one.

Oh, we'll be here forever. No, we won't.

Walk up ahead.

What's going on?

East Bridge Police.

Did you drop a woman and a baby off
between here and Eastbridge?

Yeah, back in Lillicrest.

Last thought, a scheduled stop.

No, but the lady wanted off and I was
happy to oblige. Her kid cried all the

from Eastbridge.

Seemed like he was sick.

for Toronto and she got off here.

I just hope to God she didn't abandon
the baby because he's sick.

All right, we've coordinated with
Willowcrest PD. They've got their

We'll work in a spiral pattern.

Gordy, Cooper, you start on the south
side of town, then circle back to here.

Rose, Hartley, you do the same thing,
starting on the north side of town.

Stan and I will work from here.

All right, keep your eyes open. Be
alert.

Any leads, call them in.

Let's go.

Excuse me, ma 'am. Have you seen either
of these two people?

We've seen either of these two people.

Hey, you guys.

Have you seen this lady around?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I know her.

Can you tell me where she lives?

Is she going to get in trouble?

You will if you don't tell her.

Okay, follow me.

D1, this is X -Ray 7.

Boss, I think we found her.

Which one is it?

That house. She lives right there.

Okay. You boys stay here.

Gordy, Cooper, take the back. You guys
come with me.

Remember, the baby's more important than
anything.

Would you like to ask you a few
questions?

Damn it.

What's this?

Any sign of Matthew? He's not here. All
that's here is a mountain of blank

videotapes and machines for pirating
movies.

All right! Yeah!

You're busted, you ripoff! Yeah, I paid
ten bucks for Home Alone 2 and the

tracking was all screwed up!

Hey!

You think this is funny? Huh?

We're sorry! We're sorry! Our baby might
be dead because you wasted police time!

She's a video pirate. Isn't that a
crime?

You deliberately misled a police
investigation.

Boss, boss, easy.

Get out of here.

All right.

We'll let the Willowcrest guys take care
of her.

Let's continue the search.

Have you seen my crayons anywhere?

I haven't seen you use those in years. I
think I left them in here somewhere.

David, can I talk to you?

Here they are.

It's about you going away to Washington.

Sure, Mom.

That's why I need the crayons.

You know Mr.

Simonson down the street?

Well, he's a nephew who got killed in
Vietnam, and he wants me to go to the

and make a rubbing of the name.

It's nice of you to do that for him.

I'm going to make them for myself, too.

Never knew anyone who died in a war.

David, what if your father and I took
you to Washington this summer?

You mean so I could show you all the
things I see?

Well, wouldn't it be nice if we could
see all those things for the first time

together?

But I would have already seen them.

Yeah.

Well, maybe you shouldn't go tomorrow.

But you guys already said I could.

David, there are parts of that city that
are very, very dangerous. Mom, this is

a school trip.

There's going to be parents and teachers
watching us. I know, but even when

people are watching, things can happen.

I worked hard for this.

If you don't let me go, you're breaking
a promise.

I just don't want you to get hurt.

David.

Hi. Could you do us a favor?

Could you put one of these in your
window and another one on your counter?

Sure. Thank you.

Something in the picture ring a bell?

There was a woman in here with a kid.

Real rushed.

That's how I remember.

Should have been in the last couple of
hours.

I get a lot of folks in here. Couldn't
say for sure.

Is that a 24 -hour loop?

Tell me when.

There.

Now I remember.

Nothing could shut that kid up. Screamed
the whole time he was here.

Oh, my God.

She's buying milk.

We have solid evidence that the woman
was in a convenience store in

about three hours ago.

She had Matthew.

Did he look okay?

I'm not going to lie to you, Denise.

She's been giving him milk.

You're not doing enough.

You should have every confidence I'm out
looking for our boy. Mother, please.

They're doing all they can.

Well, then why isn't he back home by
now? He will be.

Every officer on this force has put
everything aside to find your grandson.

Everything. Their own lives, their own
families. We will find him and bring him

back.

We'll leave an officer with you.

I'll be in my office all night.

If you hear anything.

Or if you just need someone to talk to.

I know you're doing all you can.

Thanks, Denise.

Good night, Mrs. Bradford.

Boss, I apologize. I got way out of
line. It's just that woman was acting,

know, like we were the ones who
kidnapped the kid.

And... I'm sorry.

I'm glad you saved the city from a
lawsuit.

If you hadn't spoken up, I think I might
have clocked it myself.

Come on, we've got a long night ahead.

Hotline, Eastbridge PD.

Hotline. Can you tell me the exact
location?

Not when there's all this good hot food.

Oh, it smells incredible.

See this woman, Clark? She must get a
lot of practice being married to the

I'm sorry, sir.

A double sip made me delirious.

Make sure you get some of that meatball.

Espresito.

Hey.

Thanks.

Hey,

come here. Let me put some sauce on
that. Susan made it. It's delicious.

And nothing came of it?

No further leads?

Okay.

No, thanks, Bill.

Thanks for checking it out.

We've had 300 calls today.

Not one has led us to Matthew.

Why don't you change your clothes? Jeff
Hartley put them in the locker room.

Rachel, thanks.

You picked up everyone's spirits.

Well, maybe you can pick up mine.

What's wrong?

I told David he couldn't go tomorrow.

I thought he looked upset. Why'd you
tell him that?

He's just... He's too young to be going
off by himself.

He's with the school.

Lou DiNuzio's one of the parents that's
going.

When I was David's age, my class went to
Gettysburg.

Well, when you were his age, people
weren't stealing children from their own

homes. The whole world was a safer
place.

Back in 1966, our parents were saying
the world was a safer place back in

What are you going to do?

Keep him with us.

Forever?

Rachel, we can't make David a prisoner
of our fear.

I mean, I hope he's the kind of kid who
will grow up.

It'd make things better, so he won't
have to tell his children the world was

safer place when he was a kid back in
1993.

Boss, we got something you should look
at.

Honey, the whole time he's gone, I'm
gonna be pulling what's left of my hair

out.

But we gotta let him go.

Okay, the FBI told us they checked out
12 infant kidnappings over the past

years. All within this 200 -mile radius.

There have been three in the last six
months, including Matthew.

Yeah. Nine out of 12 came from single
-parent, low -income homes.

Like Denise Bradford. Mm -hmm.

All right, Gordy, check the report.

See if the other victims had anything
else in common with Denise Bradford. A

pediatrician, an OB, a medical clinic.
Right.

Sir, an all -night pharmacist from
Willowcrest.

Just ID'd the lady from the sketch.

Well, it rains, it pours. Look, SPD
dispatched a car, but they got there too

late. She'd already gone.

She did fill a prescription for Fenerol,
a vomiting suppressant. It was made up

by Dr.

Benjamin Jacobs.

Let's pay the doctor a house call.

I don't know anything about this.

It clearly was issued without my
consent.

Well, who else would have access to your
prescription pad?

My nurse, but she's been on vacation.

And there's Mary Potter, our nurse's
aide.

But she's been out sick this week. What
about someone from the pharmacy?

Tell me about Mary Potter.

Mary's worked in her office a little
over a year.

When she came to us, she was a little
lost.

Lost? Her husband and child died in a
car accident. She moved here to get

And I think the work has helped her a
little.

A woman loses her child, falls into a
chronic depression, kidnaps a baby to

replace the one she lost. Wouldn't be
the first time it happened.

It couldn't be Mary.

She's a sweet woman.

She volunteers all her time at the free
clinic, working with lower -income

families. Where can I find her?

You know, babies can't be on fenerol.

Ongoing doses can cause neurological
damage.

Let me see your light.

Looks like no one's here.

Hey, Stanley.

Mary Potter's baby died a year ago.
What's she doing with all this baby

Let's go.

Don't we need a warrant? No.

It's a matter of public safety.

We have justifiable cause from visual
observation to go inside.

Ready?

She's the one.

There were wigs in there, in the
nursery.

Ah, now we need a warrant. But you
said... If it's not in plain sight, we

warrant.

Looks like she's been feeding him
Fenerol like it was water.

He must be really sick.

Hey, boss, come over here.

Look at this drawer.

There's Jacob's prescription pad.

Maybe there's something in there we can
use.

Oh, that's plain sight to me. No.

If we open that drawer, then nail him
with information, we find we blow any

chance of a conviction.

We need to get a warrant.

It'll take an hour just to wake a judge.

What the hell am I thinking about?

Finding the kid is more important than
making the case?

Here's the phone number.

Hello, you have reached the offices of
Jason Stevens, attorney at law,

specializing in areas of adoption and
family law.

This is a nursery?

This is a holding pen for babies on the
black market?

David? Wake up. Come on, you're going to
be late.

It's Teacher's Conference Day.

We don't have any school today.

No, I meant you're going to be late for
your trip.

Mrs. DeMarco's going to take you to the
bus station in half an hour.

Really? You mean I can go?

Yeah.

David.

I want to apologize.

I know you probably can't understand
right now.

Sometimes it's exciting for a mom to see
her little boy growing up.

And sometimes it's kind of sad.

The way that I dealt with it by trying
to keep you from growing up, that was

wrong.

That doesn't mean that I'm not going to
worry about you, so you be careful,

okay? Yeah, Mom.

Thanks.

You want me to bring you back something
from Washington?

Surprise me.

Okay, Ricky, nobody's reported any sign
of Mary Potter.

So stay out of sight, and if she shows
up at her house, I want you waiting for

her.

Jason Stevens should be getting to his
office soon.

I'd like the honor of bringing him in.

Well, if we bring him in now, chances
are he'll deny everything and get

a lawyer. By that time, Matthew will be
dead.

So, our only choice is to get Stephen to
hand this Matthew himself.

You mean sting him?

Boss, we don't have enough time. We'd
have to get there today.

How are we going to do that?

Package for you, boss.

Oh, right.

Thanks, Calvin.

Hey, Stan.

How's about making a delivery across
town?

H -I -J -K...

here already.

Well, I'm here now.

Okay.

I'll sign for it.

Gotta have Mr.

Stevens' signature.

But the other guy always lets me sign.

Do I look like the other guy?

Okay, give it to me.

You sure this was a first -time
appointment?

Yeah, it's that introductory on the
calendar.

Mr. and Mrs. Harrison.

Good job, Stan.

Go wash your hands.

Commissioner, I don't want to be rude,
but we have a meeting with Jason Stevens

in less than an hour that we've been
waiting months for.

What's it about?

Mr. Harrison, did anyone ever suggest
that you could get special services for

Mr. Stevens?

What do you mean?

Did you go to Stevens because you knew
he could get you a baby faster than by

legal means?

No, of course not.

Jason Stevens is a wonderful man.

He makes dreams come true.

My suspicion is he creates nightmares.

A baby boy was recently taken from his
mother. We have reason to believe that

Jason Stevens will deal him on the black
market.

If what you're saying is true,
Commissioner Scali, how can we help?

I'm sorry I couldn't have seen you
sooner.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, you're ready
to start a family.

Yeah.

When Christine and I got married, I
promised to the world.

So far, I've pretty much come through.

We have a house, a couple of nice cars.

And because of this little infertility
problem, the only thing that's missing

a baby.

Well, this meeting's the first step.

I'm going to explain how adoption works.
I'll walk you through the ads, the

agencies.

And with luck, within a year, you'll
have a baby.

A year.

Look, Mr. Stevens, I don't know any
other way to say this, so I hope I'm

it right.

The main reason we came to you is
because friends told us that there might

way that you might be able to expedite
things.

Absolutely. Once we contact the birth
mother, I'll handle the county filings,

agency filings. No, no.

You're talking about paperwork. I'm
talking about the paper in my wallet.

Let's say on top of your fee, if I gave
you an extra 5 ,000 pieces of paper,

let's just say.

That would place you on a waiting list.

Okay, I see.

What about 10 ,000?

The middle of the list.

Then 20 ought to put us solid in the top
spot?

It ought to.

How much more would it cost to have a
child by this afternoon?

That's a highly irregular request.

Why the hurry?

A cardiologist has told me that my
mother's on a deathbed.

And to be able to present her with a
grandson before she passes away would be

worth $50 ,000 to me.

$50 ,000?

A boy.

Sure, that's free of charge.

Deal. Not here.

When I hand you your dream, then you can
pay for it.

Cash wrapped in newspaper?

I have a child in mind.

It'll take me some time to get the birth
certificate ready.

Meet me at Westside Park.

Four o 'clock?

Remember, you're here because you're the
only one who can positively identify

Matthew. So when you see the baby, say,
he's so beautiful. Then I'll know we

have him.

I almost completely lost it in that
lawyer's office.

Just hang in there, Denise, a little
while longer. You're doing great.

Here he comes now.

Oh, my God.

That's the woman who stole Matthew.

Okay, okay. She's going to know you. So
you stay here and I'll bring the baby

over.

Nice day in the park?

Beautiful.

Christine's so excited she can barely
stand it.

Can I have him?

Oh, right.

Pleasure doing business with you, Mr.
Harrison.

Remember, there's no warranty with that.

No. All right, at this point, don't look
for the lady we're looking for.

What?

What do we do now? You stay here.

Apologize profusely.

Thank you.

Police!

Excuse us, Lance.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Nothing.

It's like she was beamed up or
something.

Hey, what's going on?

Why, Mary Potter, I'd know those dark
roots anywhere.

Where's Matthew Bradford?

You know that child is sick.

If you don't help us now and the boy
dies, it won't only be kidnapping, it'll

murder.

He's been sick since we got him.

And when he got worse, we brought
Michael here.

Matthew. Yes.

Matthew.

Please try and understand.

We couldn't have kids.

So when we went to Stevens, we knew that
he could expedite things.

But we never knew this.

He may have been wrong, but we weren't.

As a father, I understand the need to
have children.

But you didn't know about Stevens
because you didn't want to know. No, no,

thought he had contacts with poor kids
in Kentucky or wherever, that everyone

would benefit from the deal.

We never thought we were going to put
people through this.

We didn't know the baby was kidnapped.

Court will have to decide that.

Officer Kelly will take you down for
questioning.

You have a beautiful son.

I hope you put Stevens and Potter away
forever for what they did to those

people.

For what they did to me.

We connected Mary Potter to at least
nine other counts over the past three

years.

She's gone from one medical clinic to
another looking for families who didn't

have the means to raise a fuss.

What about Stevens?

We found him through an illegal search.

That evidence is inadmissible.

What does that mean?

He walks.

For whatever it's worth, the
investigation will probably discredit

He might even be disbarred from the
implications.

That's not enough.

We got what counts.

Is he going to be okay?

Well, he's one sick little boy, but he's
a fighter.

You give him a few days and he'll be
fine.

It's a little strange that we work as a
team to be successful, but most

of the awards and commendations are
presented to individual officers.

This is one time that I want to say to
you as a team, as one unit,

how undeniably proud I am of the
Eastbridge Police Department.

You did walk from the Smithsonian to the
Lincoln Memorial?

I'm glad you're having a good time.

Your father's here.

He seems to have taken a trip himself.

To dreamland.

Listen, David.

Bring your father back something
special.

And you be careful, okay?

I love you.
