Mr. Anderson?

Child protection services.

Mr. Anderson?

Hello? Just that. This is Neelan. I'm going to need backup over at the

Terrace Call, apartment 204.

Now.

Oh, I know.

You are going to be okay.

Yeah, yeah.

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

Mr. Anderson?

I'm with Child Protective Services, and I'm taking her into custody.

Does she have any medical needs that she should know about?

Sir, does she need any medicine?

I'll get it.

Thank you.

Night.

All right, there's no going back now.

I used girl color.

Pretty. You see this?

Oh, she's wearing a bib. I think that means she's neat.

All right, we're going to go to dinner tonight to celebrate our last night of

freedom, okay?

Hey, hon, did you buy this book?

No, my mom did. I don't know why. She knows we're adopting.

I'm sure she's just excited about finally being a grandma.

Finally.

Hi.

Dim Sum?

Off to the

princess?

I want you to meet your mommy and daddy.

Oh, big smile.

Wow. So beautiful.

Oh boy. You can say that again. All the baby boys were sad to see her go.

You want to go to mama? There you go. Yeah.

Oh, she likes her mommy.

Here's that medical release.

There you go. In a couple of weeks, you'll get a visit from Faye Hopkins,

social worker.

She'll be doing the post -placement supervision.

Keeping tabs on us, huh? Oh, no.

She's going to help me get ready for the finalization.

That's about it? You're done.

You're done.

No, come on.

It's okay.

All right, I got it.

Tim, go get her another jar.

You know, it's messy on the floor.

Oh, it's all right. I know you're hungry.

See?

Now she's too upset to eat.

You've got to pay attention to what she wants.

Okay.

Look, even though I'm not a team player and I'm inattentive, can I give it a

try, please?

Yeah?

Bonsoir, mademoiselle.

Enchanté.

You would like, what, another course for you to eat?

Is that good?

Well, it was fun, baby.

I think she likes French. Yeah? Yeah.

She's not the only one.

Oh, really?

Okay. I think there's a couple things you haven't said to me since the last

we were in Paris.

We'll have to fix that.

Perfect, right?

Boom.

Tim, what are you doing?

Making pancakes.

This is a mess.

No, no, no.

Saturdays, mom wouldn't make it better.

Dad, ready? Watch this.

Boom.

Perfect, right?

Stop. That was good.

Please. Well, you don't think I can get it higher? No. I can get it higher.

Way higher. See the rafters? Watch this. Ready?

Whoa, whoa.

It's part of the tradition.

Yeah.

No, Tim, I told the social worker she could stop at any time.

Mom's all right. She can come.

No, no, no.

We got to clean it up. I have to get ready. Okay. It's a mess.

I know. I don't have time to help clean up. That's all right. We'll do it. We'll

do it. You'll do it. You'll help me out, right? Okay.

All right.

Oh, my gosh.

Do something about that.

Give her a kiss. About that.

That is part of the tradition. We all clean together, right? We clean

I just want to rest.

Are you going to get that?

No, I'm not getting it. I'm cleaning off our daughter.

Hi,

I'm Cheryl Robinson.

Hi, I'm Jay Hopkins, your caseworker.

Nice to meet you.

Um, Dr. Siegler said you have an extensive background in psychology.

Oh, um... Are you an MSW?

I have a master's in social work and another in clinical psychology.

Oh, please, come in. Thank you.

I was just finishing up breakfast, so, um, please pardon the mess. As long as

it's baby -proofed, I always say a mess is okay.

Hazard is not.

You must be the chef of the house.

Yeah. Dad, I'm Tim.

Say, Thompson, she doesn't usually eat chocolate chip pancakes. It's just a

treat. Aside from pancakes, how's your diet?

It's good. Yeah, it's really good. She eats three times a day, like the doctor

said, and vitamins.

Great. Perfect.

Do you mind if I... Oh, I don't mind. Let's see how she does.

Okay, there you go.

Okay. Hello.

Hi.

If she's ever fussy, it always works like a charm.

I think I read that somewhere. I've read so many things that sometimes I just

forget them all when she starts crying. It's like, well, that's okay. There's a

lot to keep track of, you know? It can be a bit overwhelming.

Do you feel overwhelmed?

No.

No. I think things are going pretty well.

Good. Perfect.

Hello. And just try and relax, Cheryl. In some ways, this is still the

period.

Okay.

We got the birthday cake.

Look at that. Wow.

Yay.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday.

Oh, my camera. Okay.

All right. Ready.

Happy birthday, Mona. Come together.

Come together. Look at that. Come on. Say hi.

Say hi.

Okay, here we go. Come on.

Three, two, one.

Yay.

Do you know if a little baby girl lives there named Mona?

My mom is at the park.

All right, present time.

Thank you,

Jackson and Nikki.

What is this?

Ready? Oh, how fun!

At least his boyfriend.

I don't think so.

Yeah, sorry.

Hi, I'm Nikki, Cheryl's neighbor. What's your name?

Hey there.

Pretty windy day, huh? I'm Tim Brogdon.

Kevin Anderson.

Good to know you.

This is a Mona.

She's the birthday girl just from one today.

I Know whoa I'm her father

You can take a

picture, but I don't think you know what we'd all appreciate if you back off

We'll have this conversation another time in private all right

I'll see you soon.

Did you get all the drinks from the cooler?

I got them. I put everything in the fridge in the garage.

Maybe it's not that big of a deal, guys.

I don't think he wants anything from you, and he did give her up for adoption

after all. Nikki, Mona's parents didn't put her up for adoption.

The date broke it.

Sorry.

Anyways, it was a great party, guys.

And happy birthday to you, little girl.

Call you later.

We found him online.

He was sentenced for assault with a deadly weapon last fall. But he got off

a misdemeanor and only a year because the CPS entered his apartment illegally.

This was a closed adoption, Cheryl. I can't give you much information about

birth parents.

How did he find us?

I'm not sure. His parental rights were terminated, so he shouldn't be part of

the adoption.

I just didn't expect the biological father to be part of the package.

Even if this man is Mona's father, he won't be a problem.

In a state cut to the adoption, the birth parents have no appeal rights.

So what do we do if he comes back?

You do whatever you want. Invite him in for coffee or shut the door in his face.

Call the police.

Your daughter, yeah?

Yeah.

Cheryl! Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in so long!

Hey, do you know that there's a management conference in Anaheim next

And some of the girls from the office are going to drive down.

I'm sure they'd love to see you. Oh, that's great.

And you know, Joanne, she finished her book.

Not that it'll ever see the light of day, but... I... I'm so sorry, but I

go. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay.

You're welcome.

Ma 'am?

Oh.

Sorry. Sorry.

I wouldn't call it stalking.

He came to the park. He followed me through the grocery store. What would

call that, Tim?

He wants us to be afraid. I'm afraid. If we ignore him, he loses.

Think about it. I mean, he's probably an ex -con. He probably doesn't have a

job. All right, what is he doing? He's got issues.

And for now, he's... I'm calling... Hold on!

If it happens again, I'll call the police.

All right, I need you to pay attention.

There are two formulas.

One is a regular one, and one is a fortified with iron.

She drinks bulk. This one's a green top, okay?

Is she sick? She's sick.

Is she sick? I don't know.

I don't know if she was crying a little early. Do you think she's crying? She

feels a little warm. Oh, that's okay.

No, maybe she can't.

Don't worry about it. Grandma will handle it. You go out. You enjoy your

I don't know. Maybe. Honey, Daddy and I will take care of everything. Go on.

Say goodnight. Say goodnight, Mommy.

Say goodnight.

Goodnight. Have a good time. Have a good time on your date.

I'm sorry, I just... I don't feel comfortable leaving her.

Honey, she's with your parents.

I know it shouldn't scare me like that. I just can't figure out what he was

doing at the grocery store.

You know what? Maybe he was buying groceries.

Let's get Pookie.

Let's get Pookie. Say hello, Pookie. This is the only thermometer I could

Well, that's for adults. Look how big it is.

I'm pretty sure it would still work. Come, feel her head.

Now feel mine.

Tell me that's not a fever.

Was Tim expecting someone?

I don't think so.

Can I help you?

My name is Kevin.

It's moving in next door. I was wondering if you had a stepladder.

This is actually my daughter's house. I'm just visiting.

It just has to be something I can step on.

All right. Well, at the very least, I can take a look.

Look, hon, if you want to go back, we'll go back. I'll call Nikki right now.

No, we'll just ask them for a rain check.

Yeah.

I'm taking it very seriously. I'm serious about the fact that you're

overreacting.

You two are home early.

We're just visiting with the new neighbor, Kevin.

Get out.

Get out of this house now.

Look, I don't know what happened to you.

And I'm sorry.

But this is my daughter now. And this is my family.

Get out.

This is your house.

That is your wife.

Moan is not your daughter.

You alright?

How did he get in the house?

I let him in.

Someone came to your door, you let him in, he stayed until he was asked to

leave, and he left.

Did he make any threats?

Well, no, but he behaved in a threatening manner. Did he specifically

you with violence?

Not with words, no.

What is the nature of your relationship with this man? There's no relationship.

He showed up at Mona's birthday party, and he claimed to be her biological

father.

Is he?

I don't know. I mean, he could be, I guess, but how am I supposed to know?

And you are her adoptive father? Yes.

I will be as soon as the finalization hearing is done.

Look, he has no claim to her. The state took her, and we adopted her. It sounds

like something that you're going to have to take up with a judge.

Now, until there's a legitimate threat towards you or your baby.

There's really not much else we can do.

You folks have a good night.

Thank you.

Unbelievable.

Honey?

Yeah? I really need your help here. We've got 20 minutes before fake news.

right. It should have been done a long time ago. It's not your fault that...

Should have been done. She made a big pointy baby.

All right, so what do you want me to do?

I need you to take the knives out of the butcher block and put them in here.

Okay.

Crazy.

Should I get the ant trap?

Yeah.

And the cleaning supply can go in there?

No, I didn't know I was supposed to do that.

In the shed.

Okay.

Do you want to stall something?

No.

Hey, Faye.

Hi, Tim.

Come on in.

Sorry about the meth.

Mona has a little bit of a cold. You got any tips?

Well, I've seen my little baby cold.

Have a look at the little patient.

Yeah, she's a little warm.

Did you take her temperature?

Do you have a baby thermometer?

No, I can send him, like, right now. It's okay. Don't panic. Just after I

run down to the pharmacy.

If it's between 101 and 103, you should give her some infant acetaminophen, not

aspirin.

And if it's higher than that, you should take her to the doctor.

Okay? Okay. Why don't we have a seat?

How's everything otherwise? Is she sleeping good?

Oh, yes.

She sleeps through about half the night and cries the other half.

Her gums don't look too red.

You know, it might be colic.

I'm going to give her some of my lamp. Sometimes that helps.

How are you guys otherwise?

You seem tired.

Did you have a bad night last night?

Well, we actually had other complications last night.

Dr. Ziegler has mentioned it, but we've been having some problems with Mona's

birth father.

That's not right. Your information shouldn't even be available to him.

Yeah, and last night he came to the house.

Cheryl's parents were watching the baby, and he just shows up.

Was he hostile?

Well, he came to our house.

I mean, he didn't threaten us, but I called the police.

Well, unfortunately, I see this a lot in my practice. The police are pretty slow

to act unless there's a body.

But, you know, just keep us informed and we'll do anything we can to help.

Sorry about the noise. I'll have to ask Mark not to schedule lawn care during

our play date. No, that's okay.

We'll get you to do it.

Look it, Mona.

Tommy.

We call him Tommy.

Tommy. Well, you have a very sophisticated date with him today,

Who is that?

Well, some guy the neighbors recommended.

All I know is he charges $15 an hour and he speaks English.

We have to go.

Cheryl, what's going on?

Tell me. Keep this on.

Look at her cheek. She's usually good with new babies. I am so sorry.

I usually don't leave them alone.

No, it's okay, Deb. I'm sorry.

We have to go.

You son of a bitch.

I want you to stay home with her.

Cheryl. We can't both leave her alone.

At least until adoption is finalized.

Look, I'll do whatever you want.

I can't keep ignoring this.

We have a noise ordinance around here.

And I know you know that there's a baby sleeping inside.

My baby.

Look, Kevin, if you really care about her, you realize that she needs to get

sleep, all right?

She's home now, man.

Not yet, she's not

Good morning.

Hi.

Hi.

Um, I'd like to buy a gun.

Any idea which kind?

Um, something with stopping power.

Something for protection.

Self -defense.

Remind me to schedule earlier in the day next time, because that trip down the

flat was a hell of a trip.

You going on a nurse trip?

Yeah, she is. She's taking a nap like a maniac.

And Tim? Is Tim here?

No, he's not, but he does know that you're coming, so...

Can

I help you?

Is this the residence of Timothy Broadbent?

Yes.

San Diego County Superior Court has issued a temporary restraining order

Mr. Broadbent. He is to refrain from any form of contact with Kevin Anderson,

the plaintiff, until the order to show cause hearing.

Thank you.

It's our last one.

It's a Beretta PX -4 subcompact.

It's great for concealed carry. It's great on the range.

Nine millimeter.

Single action or double action. It's a modular polymer frame.

Comes with two different bags, John.

Just take a look down that barrel.

It's me looking in.

How much?

Where have you been?

I had an errand to run.

The social worker's inside. I've had to stall her.

Well, I'm here now. Just deal with it. Don't.

Not until you tell me what this is.

You've got to be kidding me.

I went to his house last night.

You told me you went on a drive.

I'm sorry. I didn't want to worry you.

And this morning?

Where were you this morning?

Where were you this morning?

I was buying a gun.

There's a ten -day waiting period.

We cannot have a gun in the same house as our infant daughter.

We need it to protect our infant daughter.

This is going to look terrible.

You have to talk to me before you make these sort of decisions. I'm sorry.

I just need to warn you that she's got a little bruise on her face.

How did that happen?

He was on a play date, and the boy bit her. I mean, I was only gone for two

seconds. I'm going to have to add this to your file. It's not really necessary.

I mean, it's clearly an accident, so.

I know. I'm sorry.

I've got to do this, though. Can you add that? I'll be sure.

Cheryl,

we need to finish our post -adoptive interview.

Why don't we go downstairs and let Tim take the baby? We'll follow Mommy. You

want to follow Mommy? Can you see Mommy? Okay, Mommy,

see you in a minute. We'll come with you. How about that?

We'll come.

We'll come. Okay, come on.

We'll see you in a minute. It's okay.

How are you adjusting?

Things are pretty stressful, but good.

Good. And things are good with Tim? Still positive?

Yes. New parents often feel a strain on their relationship because there's less

time for intimacy.

I think we're fine.

Okay. Um, I have to ask you, because you mentioned it, but the biological

father, is that still an issue?

Yes. Yes, it is.

He's outside, he's watching us, and... I don't know what to do.

Well, so it's fair to say that you're under some emotional distress.

I've observed you with Mona. It is undeniable that you two share a bond.

But... It's my responsibility to also let you know that until the adoption is

finalized, you still have the option of returning custody to the state.

Mona is the light of our life.

It's only been a few months, but I can't imagine life before her.

Oh. I forgot. I need to get a copy of Mona's immunization records to forward

the judge.

Um... We postponed that appointment.

Why? Was there a conflict?

No, I just thought with Kevin and possibly being the birth father, I felt

secure that maybe... You know, there's only two weeks left until the adoption

finalization hearing.

Uh...

I was under the impression that there was a little bit of flexibility with the

12 months.

Maybe, but the judge can be pretty inflexible.

You know what?

I'll make the appointment for you.

Okay, Cheryl.

We'll talk soon.

I talked to the court.

The restraining order will go into effect if Kevin can show cause before

13th.

The day before the hearing.

Is that going to affect our chances of getting custody?

I have no idea.

But I think we should tell Faye.

I don't know.

Let's just get one sack done.

Hi there.

I'm Tim Broadbent. We have a 10 o 'clock appointment for Mona. Oh, great. Let me

get you signed in.

I'm Nurse Rachel.

And this little lady must be Mona.

Yeah. Look, we just want to make sure that we're going to get copies of all

shots she's getting. It's in immunization records and everything.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I can take her back with me, get her weighed and measured, while

Stephanie takes you through the form.

It'll just take a few minutes.

Okay, yeah.

Okay. Here you go.

Bye, baby.

Bye -bye.

That's okay.

Thank you. And then I just need you to fill those out for me.

All of them?

All of them.

It's going to take longer than the immunization.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, I tried to bother you again. I finished the first half of this novel.

I know. I just can't clear the immunization until you finish it.

You know what? That's fine. I'm happy to stay. I would like to send my wife

back, though, with Mona.

All they're doing is waiting for her right now.

I understand. I just think we'd be a little bit more comfortable if they were

together.

I'll pay to the nurse. We'll bring Mona back out as soon as she's off. Thank you

very much. You're very welcome.

What room is the broadband, Fabian?

Room B.

Thank you.

Hi. Do you guys have Mona Broadbent in there?

Something wrong?

Okay, thank you.

I'm just going to walk back.

You know, miss, I'd like to come with you. That's all right. My wife can

the paperwork.

Miss,

if you could please open this door, I'd like to.

Could you please have a seat?

Tim, is everything all right?

I'm sure that it is. I'd just be much more comfortable if I were back there

my daughter. Do you mind slipping back through the door? Yes, I would mind. I'd

mind very much.

Get with you, Eddie. Go with Pink.

What did she say?

I want you to open this door right now.

You have no way to wake my daughter.

Open this door right now.

Excuse me.

Open this door.

Yeah, there's a problem. I need to get on the other side of this door right

That's really not how it works.

Wait a minute.

You hear him? Tell him that, baby. He's playing that as my daughter. He has no

right to keep me out. I want the goddamn door open right now.

What happened?

I'm not sure. She was just handed to me. She was just handed to you by who?

Some guy. He was wearing scrubs. I didn't know him. All clear.

Did you say anything to him?

No. Did he say anything to you?

He didn't say a word.

He just handed you the baby? Yes.

It doesn't make any sense.

Officer Groves. What exactly happened here, Mr. Broadbent? It was the same

It was Kevin Anderson, the man who was in my house. You saw him?

They wouldn't let me through the door.

So you didn't see him?

This man is stalking my family. He wants Mona back. I don't know what more

evidence you want.

You know, security says that this man returned the baby immediately.

Maybe he was afraid he was going to get caught.

Look. I found out where he lives. I can take you to his address.

We will take care of this, Mr. Broadbent. I promise.

But you've got to let us do our job.

Good news. Good news. Mr.

Broadbent. Mr.

Broadbent, what did I just say? What did I just say?

That's Kevin Anderson with my baby in his arms, and no one gave him

This is about Tyrone. I can't help you.

You're going to have to talk to his parole officer.

We're looking for Kevin Anderson.

Oh, Kevin.

He left about a week ago.

This is a halfway house. People come and go.

But you're going to have to talk to Tina about that.

Because I just do nights here.

Okay.

Thanks very much for your help.

Well, at least he won't be able to make the restraining order to the dick.

Not after getting caught on camera raiding a hospital.

What's that?

Panic in quotes, waiting on the rest.

It's outrageous.

Look, I compared prices.

No,

not the prices. I mean this.

The fact that we can be targeted, that there's nothing in the system to help

parents who are adopting, and this crap happens.

I mean, when you adopt a baby, you're helping society, right?

We are.

Well, we shouldn't get punished for it.

Maybe we should just get out of town for a while.

The adoption finalization hearing is less than a week away.

What if we found Mona's biological mother?

This man tried to kidnap our baby. I think if there was ever a time to open a

file, it would be now.

I'm sorry, Cheryl. I know this has been a nightmare, but we have to protect the

mother's anonymity.

What about our anonymity? Nobody's protected that.

All right, fine.

I'll check the mother's file.

I can't give you her information, but when you come in tomorrow, I'll tell you

if I look, maybe.

Okay.

Tim's going to be coming in. I can't leave. I have to take care of the baby.

Thank you.

Becky, can you run a background check, please?

I can do that. The broadbends are my case.

You have more important things to do. What's the name?

Angela Dieter. Her social is 078051120.

See if that works.

wrong.

I know.

It's in the corner.

I need to go to the adoption agency for that last signature.

You gonna be alright?

Yes.

I'll let you know if he has anything interesting to say.

You need to disarm it.

Right. It would be nice if we weren't prisoners in our own home.

I don't even know how to work the... Great.

Love you.

Officer, what happened here? There was a break -in last night. I can't tell you

any more about it. Dr. Ziegler, the head of the adoption agency, is he here?

Couldn't say, sir.

I

just

saw him yesterday.

He always used to sing those Motown songs.

Well, Faye, maybe we shouldn't do this right now. Maybe you need to take a

little time off.

Technically, it is my day off.

I just had gone into the adoption agency to see what

Dr. Ziegler had found out about Mona's birth mother.

Unfortunately, there was quite a bit.

Mona's mother was diagnosed with disassociative identity disorder and

schizophrenia.

She was abusive, as you can see.

And she lost custody of her other children.

Those are Mona's biological siblings.

They were placed with foster families, but after Mona was born, her biological

father claimed her, Kevin Anderson.

And then he wound up in prison for assault.

Clearly we can't ask this woman for help.

Why was this kept hidden from us?

All I can say is I'm sorry.

We had every right to know what monsters these people were.

Well, I hope this was helpful somehow.

Uh...

Now, I need to know what you're going to do to protect Mona.

Well, we have a state -of -the -art security system.

So did the adoption agency. A lot of good that did my boss.

Well, that's what I've been saying. I think we're well beyond the state -of

-art security system at this point.

What was your idea, Tim?

I want to get out of here.

I want to get as far away from him as humanly possible.

What about the adoption finalization?

What about it?

I mean, what if we just don't go?

Uh, well, you can't miss it. You can postpone it.

Okay, great.

I mean, what do we do? How do we do that? Is that something you take care

I can petition the judge.

I can buy a week or two, hopefully long enough for the police to apprehend him.

Great.

Huh?

I'm not leaving until the court recognizes the motives of my daughter.

Cheryl, what about the welfare of the child?

Shouldn't you consider that?

I am safe.

One thing we can agree on is that anywhere is safer than here.

We're not leaving.

How's our daughter?

She's ready to come home.

The real issue is that until the hearing is over, we're not her real parents.

I'm not her real mother.

I'm not. She lives with us, right? You're raising her. What else do you

It's not the same. A real mother has law behind her. Real mother wouldn't keep

putting her baby in danger just to get a goddamn certificate.

We've had a womb invasion.

It's okay.

You're okay, hon.

It was horrible.

But you're safe and Mona's safe. That's the most important thing.

Cheryl, I know you don't like this, but we're sort of running out of options.

Our parents have a cabin.

It's totally secluded. It's in fix film.

Yeah, that's perfect.

At least until they can make an arrest. And don't worry about the hearing.

I can file a motion to postpone it.

Really? Yes.

Okay.

Okay. Okay?

Thank you. Yeah.

Let's go inside. It's cold.

Get up.

I can't believe you put us in this situation.

I will take care of it. How? What am I supposed to do, take you to a hospital?

I'm done scaring people.

It's time to just take her.

We can't just take her.

The court will give her to me legally.

Not after what you did to the last ones. I've seen the photos.

They don't even know who I am.

They think my name is Faye.

How long?

I have to wait a little while before I get to talk to the dog and then I can

up something. How long?

You know what?

I'm not taking any more chances of anyone seeing me.

Get out get in the trunk Are you out of your mind get in the trunk

Angela! Get me out of this trunk!

Angela, open the trunk!

What are you doing?

I said let me out of the trunk!

Angela, open the trunk!

Open the trunk!

Angela! Hey!

You have a beautiful daughter.

Did you forget to pack the sunscreen?

Yeah, sorry.

Of course you did.

Come on.

I know you're stressed, I'm stressed, but we just have to breathe and work

together, all right?

She cried, and you comfort her.

And she stops crying. She cries, and Faye calms her down. And she stops

She cries, and I try to calm her down, and she just cries harder.

No, she doesn't. Yes, she does. No, she doesn't.

Look, it just takes time.

What about time?

I don't know if I'm not a real mom.

Do Mr. and Mrs. Broadbent have legal representation here?

And you're representing the adoption agency?

Yes, Your Honor. My name is Faye Hopkins.

Ms. Hopkins, do you have any information regarding the Broadbent's absence?

No, I don't.

Under normal circumstances, I would proceed as planned.

However, in light of the recent homicide at your agency and the family's failure

to appear today, Would you like to postpone?

Not at all. In fact, the couple's absence confirms what I've suspected for

some time now.

What's that?

That the Broadbents are unfit parents. We were wrong to trust them with Mona,

and I believe that as long as she's in their care, she's at risk.

Take particular note of the paranoia demonstrated by Cheryl Broadbent.

I quote her saying, we believe this man murdered Dr.

Siegler and we're worried that you may be next.

These are the baby's immunization records. As you can see, she's still at

for hepatitis and meningitis.

During a home visit, I found mysterious bruises on the child and the parents

claimed that she fell.

Here is an application for a gun permit filed by Mr.

Broadbent. Six months after they adopted the baby, that same week, a local man

filed a restraining order against Mr. Broadbent for stalking his home.

It seems the Community First Adoption Agency has made an oversight.

In light of your testimony, I see no choice but to revoke custody.

Ms. Hopkins, do you have an objection to this rule?

No, Your Honor.

Are there any other circumstances I should be made aware of?

The court transfers custody of the baby, Mona, back to the Community First

Adoption Agency.

Under your care, Caseworker Faye Hopkins.

Thank you, Your Honor.

I'd like a squad car sent to the Broadbent's home.

If the baby's not there, we'll issue an Amber Alert.

Where's Pookie?

Pookie. Here's Pookie. Pookie?

Pookie.

Sorry about the gun.

It's okay.

I still should have talked to you first.

I think those are going to scare her.

Um, I don't know. I could put a sheet over it.

I'm going to call Faye.

You know what, hon? I was thinking about it. Maybe we should just go dark for a

couple of days and not call anyone, including Faye.

I just want to know we're okay.

Okay?

Okay. Talk to you soon, Cheryl.

Okay, well, we appreciate all your help, officers, and we are truly embarrassed

that we trusted these two. We just want to get the baby back safe.

Okay? Okay.

Dispatch, this is Vasquez. We have arrived at the house.

Suspects appear to be on the premises.

Yeah, I'm Tim Broadbent.

Drop the gun.

All right, all right.

Get on your stomach, face down. Now.

Look, I have a permit for the gun. You're under arrest for kidnapping.

Faye?

Sorry, Tim, but the judge rejected the delay request.

How is that possible?

I'm sure if we cooperate, we can sort it out.

Cheryl, I'm sorry to tell you this, but there's been a problem with your

petition to adopt.

Do you care to go back?

Ma 'am, I'm going to need you to tell me where the child is located.

Ma 'am, I'm going to have to place you under arrest, so I need to know where

child is located.

I need to check on Mona.

Cheryl! We got suspects apprehended and one under arrest.

Back up. Suspect has locked herself in the bedroom. Look, I'm sure this can be

lot easier for you. Just let me talk to her.

Vasquez?

I'm going to need you to come down here and cover the suspect.

suspect if they have a dog up.

Faith!

Faith!

What's going on?

Thank God you're safe.

Am I?

Just get Mona and let's go.

Why did the police arrest my husband? Because I had trouble rescheduling the

hearing. We'll fix it.

Put the gun down. You can't raise another woman's baby.

Give her to me.

Give her to me.

Sherry, I'm gonna count to three.

One, two...

I just want to say goodbye to my...

I'm

not leaving without Mona.

Wait.

Those pictures?

Those were your kids?

You don't know... You know what it's like to have a child?

To have your insides ripped out.

To bleed for days.

I'm not giving you... You've never had your heart broken.

Had your child ripped out of your hands. You're sick.

You need help.

Give me back my daughter!

Where's mom?

How'd

you

know she'd be quiet?

I'm her mother.

You seem like honest people, but I got four dead bodies, including two cops.

So I'm going to have to place you under arrest.

I understand.

Since this went out as an Amber Alert, the FBI is involved, at least nominally.

I got prints off Faye Hopkins.

She has a live scan on file with the Bureau, so we'll find out soon enough

whether your story checks out.

Let's inform the Texas.

I'm happy to tell you the court is granting custody of the child to you,

Timothy, and Cheryl Broadbent.

You ready to blow out the candles, Mona?

Yeah. Okay.

There you go.

One, two, three.
