hospital. It doesn't feel right.

No, no, the baby is going to be born here.

No, please, Tony.

Please, this is insane.

It's something not right.

Get on the ground and push that thing out.

Stop calling her that. I told you not to get attached to that baby. I told you,

okay? It ain't yours.

It's going right to the adoption agency the second that thing is born.

She's not a thing.

You're not her mother.

You're just a surrogate.

She's ours. We made her together.

She's our baby.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey, hey. Look, we'll go to the hospital, okay?

Okay? Yeah.

Okay.

Look at this.

Aw.

Oh, and there's Toledo.

I love these butterflies.

I love butterflies.

Wait, three to six months? She's going to be smaller than this?

Yeah. Oh, it doesn't feel like it.

Thank you so much. That's so sweet.

All right, ladies, I got your pizza and your beer.

No boys allowed.

Oh, no, I must have missed the sign.

Now, scratch the pizza and beer. I'm sure you're all stuffed on your cupcakes

and your green tea, right?

Mm -hmm.

How's my angel?

I'm great.

You look great.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

Did you know about this?

Not anything. Mm -hmm.

Sorry to drag you away from this shindig, but we have birthing class at

hospital in 20 minutes.

Nobody go anywhere. I promise. We'll only be like an hour or so, okay?

Just stay and eat and... Daphne, I can't believe you did all this.

I love you so much.

I love you too, Beth. All right, you guys. Stay. We'll be back in a little

okay? Thank you.

Thank you. We'll see you in a little bit.

Oh, kicking, huh?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Are you okay?

Alicia, talk to me. Are you okay?

Go to the hospital.

Why? Why?

Now. Oh, my God.

Pulling up.

We are pulling up to the house. You're doing great. Okay.

We're here, sweetheart. We're here.

Pull around. Look at that. You got two people with a wheelchair. Holy cow.

Push, Mary.

Push.

This is a drug baby.

Your baby's sick.

Mary, look at me.

Look at me.

Now, I need to know what drugs are you taking.

Heroin. I do heroin, but I didn't do it while I was pregnant. I wouldn't do

that. Is she going to be okay?

I didn't want to make her sick.

I'm so sorry.

Please just hold her.

The adoption agency won't take a sick baby.

You know, I told you. I told you not to use those dirty drugs while you were

pregnant.

I did not do it. Lie.

Good, good.

Come on, baby. We're having a baby, baby.

Oh, right, stop yelling. I'm not yelling. Am I yelling? I'm not yelling.

Yeah, you kind of are.

Okay, keep pushing, Alicia. Come on.

Hard, hard push.

And she's out.

There we go. There we go.

Okay. That's right.

That's right. Here we go.

Sweetheart.

I'm so proud of you.

Wait for me.

Say hi.

Thank you. Of course, thank you.

Hi. Congrats to you.

Oh, my gosh, Ray. She is just gorgeous.

Thank you. I have to agree.

How's Alicia doing?

Alicia?

I didn't even... I'm going to go check on Alicia. I will be right back.

I'll see you guys later.

Okay, how are...

I like the sound of that.

How is she?

Anna's great.

And I think she even might have your smile.

She does, doesn't she? Yeah. You know what? I'm going to let you be the judge.

Oh, okay. Scale it one to ten.

There you go.

Oh, man.

Thank you.

Hi, darling.

You look great.

Did you all get to see her?

She's beautiful, Alicia.

You did good.

Oh, look at you guys. You all look so beautiful.

Well, what did you expect? We come directly from the baby shower to you

birth. Yeah, we made that pretty convenient, didn't we?

Why is she so calm in the nursery?

You know what? She's probably just hungry. Come on, everybody. We're going

go. Come on, everybody.

Let's give Alicia some privacy.

Come on.

We're going to figure this out.

Okay.

Yeah. Okay.

All right.

Okay. Shh.

Come on, Hannah.

Come on. Shh.

Oh,

come on.

Shh. Come on. Oh, come on, Hannah.

Hannah, what is wrong?

What is wrong?

What's going on?

I'm with you. I don't understand.

Give her a chance to latch on.

I don't have any energy left. She needs to eat something.

Alicia, honey.

Alicia, give it to Grandma.

Grandma? Yeah.

Yeah, you come over here.

Tell them to leave you alone. Quit picking on you. Yeah, you tell them that

you're just learning things.

No, it just can't be that comfortable.

Oh, I know. You're right. I just...

I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Not how I expected this was going to be at all. People only talk about the good

things with babies.

They don't talk about the bad things. They don't talk about the long nights.

They don't talk about the crying or the colic. No, you know that. Taking care of

a baby is not easy.

Your mama was a nightmare.

Mom!

She's so tired from crying, she's falling asleep.

How did you do that?

Oh, thank God.

You know, it's strange.

What's that?

Well, she doesn't look like either one of you.

No, she looks just like Alicia. I mean, look at those puffy cheeks.

Not funny.

You're trying to lighten things up, aren't you?

Look, I happen to think that she has Ray's nose and my eyes.

I don't think so.

Mom, what exactly are you trying to say?

All my babies look just like me, and I don't see any resemblance of you in her.

Well, okay, did you factor Ray into the equation at all?

Of course I did.

No, no, no, it's okay. Really, it is. I'm not offended.

You're trying to say that your DNA is as strong as my DNA, and it's all right.

It's okay with me. I'm good.

Stop being a martyr, you silly boy. Okay, both of you, enough.

Mom, will you just drop it for now, please?

Okay, look, I'm sure that sooner than later she is going to turn into either

mine or Ray's twin. Okay, you'll see.

I hope it's your twin.

Hey, trust me, I don't want her having this ugly mug either.

Come on, let's go put her down. Maybe she'll actually get a little bit of

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

Mama's gonna buy you a monkey.

And if that monkey don't sleep... What's going on?

You're still crying, huh?

Yes, she's still crying. She's been crying all night.

What, do you have your earplugs in up there?

You know I'm a heavy sleeper.

Yeah, apparently.

Are you okay?

Don't worry about me. I'm fine.

I'm just worried about Hannah.

She won't stop crying. I don't know what to do anymore.

She looks fine.

I don't know.

I feel like she should just look me in the eye more.

Anytime I try to look at her, connect with her, she looks away.

She's off in the distance somewhere, and she just screams her head off.

Hey, you said babies don't see well, right?

Maybe she's more enthralled by shapes, like the beams on the ceiling, shadows

the wall, and not her face.

No, it's different.

It's different.

Something's wrong. I know it.

Okay, well, hey, why don't you try feeding her again? I'm sure she's

And if that doesn't work...

You can try giving her some of those drops, huh?

And tomorrow morning we'll take her to the doctor for a checkup.

Sure. Of course.

Okay, cool.

Shh, shh, shh.

Come here.

Ray, Alicia, how are you two?

Not great, doctor.

She's got a voice, doesn't she?

Oh, my goodness. Listen to you.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Yes. Oh,

Hannah.

Come on.

You look exhausted, Alicia. Are you okay?

No.

No, I'm not. I'm at my wit's end, and I don't know what else. The last few days

have been just awful.

I know I'm not supposed to feel that way.

She doesn't eat. She cries constantly.

I don't know what else to do for her.

Something is wrong.

I tried to explain to Lisa that this is common in newborns, but she thinks

there's something cognitive going on.

Oh, really? Why is that?

She won't forgive me.

I know she's a newborn.

I know that. I get it.

But I'm her mother.

She should be connecting with me, right?

Somehow. She should at least respond to the sound of my voice. Anything.

I don't know. Something just feels off.

Alicia, I have some basic questions for you. Please don't be alarmed by them.

It's just part of the vetting process.

Yeah, of course. Anything.

Ask away.

Did you take any medications during the pregnancy other than the ones I

prescribed?

Did you drink any alcohol during the pregnancy?

No.

No, absolutely not.

Did you have any extreme allergic reactions during the pregnancy?

No.

What are you getting at? Did you take any non -prescription drugs during the

pregnancy? No.

I said no, doctor. I didn't take anything.

Alicia, please, I have to ask these questions.

Well, why?

What are you getting at? What is it for? I'll explain in a minute. Just please

relax.

It's a little hard to relax when you're accusing me of doing such awful things

to my baby.

No, I'm not accusing you.

Hey, Alicia, just try to answer your questions. Don't get locked up, okay?

Have you used drugs in the past?

Alicia, please, I have to ask you these questions in order to properly evaluate

what's happening with Hannah.

In college, yeah.

Experimental. That was so long ago. What does any of this have to do with the

baby?

Alicia.

It's okay.

I had an issue with painkillers.

I fell and I hurt my back.

Doctor, she almost broke her back.

The doctor prescribed pain medication and I got addicted to it.

But I got off of it. How recently?

Over a year before we even got pregnant.

Why don't we all go sit down?

So are you trying to say that the drug still could have been in my system while

I was pregnant with Hannah?

It depends.

It depends on the class of drug, the dosage, your own biology, et cetera. So,

uh... So what?

So it is possible.

It's possible that I inadvertently drugged my own child?

She is showing some acute signs of NAS.

What is that, NAS?

It's short for neonatal abstinence syndrome.

It's a variety of disorders that occurs when a baby is exposed to addictive

opiate drugs while in the mother's womb.

No, there's no way. It can't be.

I was clean. I was completely off of them and clean for a year before we even

conceived, Hannah.

It's not possible.

So, if that's what this is, she'll heal, right?

Oh, yes.

She can. I mean, just like a drug addict can recover, a baby can recover.

First, though, I want to run a series of tests to find out exactly what's

happening. I could be wrong.

Wait, see, you have to admit her?

Definitely. Just get her admitted now.

First, though, I want to get her hooked up to an IV and get some fluids into her

since she hasn't been feeding.

Come on, honey. Here we go.

That's all right.

Beautiful. There we go.

There we go.

Everything's going to be fine.

Just be strong.

She can sense it if you're not.

In your strength, we have heard the strength she needs to recover and pull

through this.

And if it is NAS, a baby has a 90 % recovery rate.

What have I done?

Hey, no, no, no, no.

Don't do that to yourself. It's not there.

I don't know where it fell.

There's an assumption that a million other things could have been.

I know, but what if it was?

Why didn't you leave something?

No.

No, I was just saying.

Ray, don't walk away from me. What are you doing?

Did you take those pills while you were pregnant?

No.

You know that I was off of him a year before we even got pregnant.

You know that.

You have to believe me. Believe you.

That is my little girl.

And that incubator, too.

Okay?

Ray, please.

You know what I was like.

when I was taking them, and you know that as soon as I got off of them, as

as I got clean, I was right back to myself again.

Is that the thing, Alicia?

That you were addicted when we met, so do I really know who you are?

You don't know who I am?

Right. It's me.

It's me.

The woman that you fell in love with.

The woman that you married, and the woman that you just had a child with.

If you don't know who I am then I don't know what we're doing. I don't know what

to tell you But you have to know that I wasn't on them anymore You have to know

that you have to know that I wouldn't do that to her

Well, she's doing much better, but we're still going to have to watch her

carefully. And she must stick to the very strict regime of medicine and that

very strict list of foods.

So she's not out of the woods?

Well, all of her vitals show a very physically healthy girl, but we won't

about her mental development for a few years.

Well, I already see a difference in her mentally.

She actually looks at me now.

Right? You see Mama.

But, hey, she's still not breastfeeding.

And she may never breastfeed. And that's okay.

We'll just keep her on formula.

And that's okay? Just formula like that?

Yeah, no worries there.

All right.

Nice to see you two happy.

You know, it's so important for a couple to stay strong during times of

adversity.

Yeah, well, we just want to thank you for everything you've done.

You're welcome.

It's exactly why I became a doctor.

They're here.

Hi.

Can I please hold my granddaughter?

Of course you can, Mama.

Here. Hi, Grandma.

Hi.

Come on. It's coming.

Oh, you guys, look at this place.

Oh, wow.

So what was the final prognosis?

Well, they don't actually know yet.

Well, to be honest, they think that

some of the complications might be because of the pills that I was taking.

But I was off of him for an entire year before I got pregnant, so... Yeah, and

they won't fully know if Hannah's completely healthy until she's in her

stage and they can do some cognitive tests.

I think you're just fine the way you are.

But she's physically healthy, right?

Yeah, she's great.

She's eating and sleeping and not crying.

Yeah, we've got a clean bill of health.

Mom, what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I'm just staring at Hannah and trying to figure out who she looks like.

Well, I still think she looks like Alicia.

It's all in the cheeks.

Oh, very funny. I heard it once before.

Not cute.

Noted.

He's kind of right.

No, she does not have Alicia's cheeks.

All right, fine. She has my eyes and my Neanderthal eyebrows.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Let's hope not.

No, she does not look like you either.

Mom, she's a month old. Do you really expect her to look like either one of

them? Yes, I do.

You and Alicia both looked just like me when you were born.

I still think maybe it's too early to tell.

Thank you.

No, it's not.

I just don't see any similarities and it's strange.

Okay, you know what, Mom? Just leave it alone, okay? You're starting to freak me

out a little bit now.

She's a baby.

She's just a baby.

Yeah, she looks like a baby.

Yeah, she's got two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

It's enough for me.

And it's close enough for me, too. Don't be so sensitive.

I'm just trying to figure out who's got the strongest genes.

And you know what? Maybe they're equal.

Maybe she's got a little bit of Ray and a little bit of me, and now that's what

she looks like, and that's it.

Leave it alone, okay?

I think that you are just beautiful.

And I also think that Mommy is starving, so let's go.

Nice job, Mom.

You agree with me, don't you?

She's a baby, Mom.

We won't know which parents she'll look like for a year or two.

Daphne, we have very strong genes in our family. You both look just like me.

I just think it's strange that Alicia's baby doesn't look like her.

Would you just drop it, okay?

Don't say a word.

Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird don't sing,

Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

I'm just staring at Hannah and trying to figure out who she looks like.

Ray. Ray.

Ray.

Ray, wake up. What?

What's wrong?

He said that you saw them take Hannah's footprints at the hospital, right?

Yes. You didn't leave her side until you came to see me. You saw them take her

footprints, right? Yes, yes. What are you getting at?

Alicia, what is wrong?

Come on.

What if Hannah isn't ours?

Oh, my God, your mother really got to you. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, listen,

listen. This has nothing to do with what she said. This is my own mother's

intuition. Something is wrong.

Okay, your mother's intuition is on overdrive, though, okay? You don't

understand.

Please.

We need to go to the hospital tomorrow. We need to go to the doctor, and we need

to find out.

We need to look at her footprints and make sure that they match, please.

Okay, yeah, we'll get a DNA test when we're at it, okay?

Yes, that's a good idea. I was kidding.

What? Oh, my God. If Hannah isn't ours, then somebody else has our baby.

Hannah is our baby.

Alicia, you're scaring me. No. No,

Ray. You don't understand. This is totally possible. You left her.

You left her. She was out of your sight. You walked away. So this is my fault

now? No, it's not what I'm saying.

I'm not saying it's your fault. I'm just saying that it's possible.

What?

What if she got switched?

What if our baby got switched? What if it had nothing to do with me and nothing

to do with the pills or anything else?

Stop.

Stop.

Hey, hey, Alicia.

Stop. Okay? This is nonsense. Please.

Okay.

Okay. Hey.

Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the hospital. We'll get them to compare the

footprints. Okay?

Mr. Thompson, you can set the baby right up there.

All right. Go ahead and take her out of the carrier.

Okay,

here we go.

Here we go. All set?

Yeah. Okay.

What do you think?

I think we need to run a DNA test.

Oh, my God.

They don't match.

It isn't easy to tell with baby's feet, but it's definitely far enough off that

I do see a difference. I have a reasonable doubt.

I'm calling the police. No, no, Mr. Thompson, you don't have to call the

Like hell I don't. What are you, insane?

Alicia, I'm so sorry.

I know that this isn't your fault. I know that.

But you had better do everything in your power to find my baby and find that

little girl's mother. Well, I promise.

Find your mom, okay?

I can't believe that you people would let something like this happen.

Please, let's not jump to conclusions.

Are you kidding me?

The child that I gave birth to in this hospital is not the one that I went home

with. Please, calm down, Mrs. Thompson. I am not going to calm down!

You guys are about 4 p .m., right?

Yeah.

I got something here.

Who's that man?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

That's our baby. What is he doing?

He's switching the bracelets.

What good are matching bracelets if you could just switch them? Where's the

nurse?

And where is security? Why is nobody with her?

I can't believe this is happening.

Neither can I.

Get in touch with the administration right away. Find out what happened to

baby. Yes, ma 'am.

Let this happen. I'm sorry, Mrs. Thompson.

What happened?

We just watched some guy switch our baby with...

With Hannah.

How could that happen?

But it happened, and now we have to find that little girl.

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.

Yes?

I'm Detective Warren.

I'm going to be heading down to administration to find out all the info

that child, but I want you to know that I am going to bring your baby back to

you.

Thank you, Detective.

Why don't I give you a call once I have all the information, and then you can

come down to the station.

No, no, no, I'm sorry, Detective. There's not time for that. Every second

counts. I understand, Mr. Thompson, but the baby was born over a month ago.

No, Detective, you don't understand.

We're not going anywhere until they gather every ounce of information that

need to find our little girl.

Hey, maybe, maybe we should go home.

Huh?

Hey, no.

No, we're not going home. No one's going home. No one is going home.

Until they figure out what happened to our child.

We've gathered all the information that we could.

It appears that the couple who stole your child waited until the mother was

going into labor before they entered the hospital.

This way they were ensured to be taken care of without too many questions

What do you mean?

We can't turn people away in an emergency situation.

She went into labor in the lobby, and we immediately took her upstairs to have

her child.

The child was born right before your baby.

But their child was diagnosed immediately as having NAS.

Wait, so you're saying that the mother was an addict?

The doctor who delivered her baby said the mother appeared to have signs of

injection marks on her arms, and she's probably a heroin addict.

So Hannah was going through withdrawals.

That's why she was having such a difficult time.

So, am I correct in assuming that the man who stole our baby

and switched the babies was the father?

We don't know exactly.

But I'm assuming that they wanted a healthy baby rather than the sick baby

you've been taking care of.

So, can't we just go?

to their house and take our baby back? Unfortunately, they falsified their

information. The people on the administrative paperwork, well, they

But we have the video footage that we just watched, right? Can you take those

tapes and get a picture of his face or something and figure it out from there?

Yes, but those images aren't very clear.

We will, however, clean them up and then...

take those images and distribute them to various news outlets.

Okay.

So what do we do?

Well, I don't think we have a choice except to wait until someone

identifies or recognizes the couple in those images.

I'm sorry.

To wait?

Wait? Wait?

For what?

Would you just wait?

That could take forever.

Never.

No. There has to be something.

There has to be something else we can do. There has to be some way that you

identify who these people were. My baby is out there somewhere.

Mrs. Thompson, please.

You two have a baby at home that's waiting for you.

I suggest you go back home and get some rest and meet me in my office in the

morning.

I'm going to work on this all through the night.

I promise you.

Thank you, Detective.

Of course.

Thank you.

Why are you so quiet?

I remembered something.

You what?

Yep. Well, why wouldn't you say anything to me? Why didn't you tell me? I didn't

want to say anything back there because I think we should handle this ourselves.

Handle it ourselves?

Yeah. Why?

Okay, what happens if we tell the cops? They track these people down.

Pull their guns, chase them down. Something happens to our little girl.

It's not a chance we should take. Uh -uh. She's depending on us to find her,

we will.

What did you see?

I saw a man.

He was standing behind the window when I was in the nursery.

He was wearing a work shirt for an auto body shop. I can see it clear as day.

It was a more mere...

Mar -Mar -Mar -Mar -Maru.

Maru Auto Body.

Maru Auto Body? Yeah.

Then he must work there.

Yeah.

So now what?

We go there in the morning.

Hey, baby girl. Hey, cutie.

Hooray!

She smiled at you.

See?

Yeah.

You know, I think she's going to be okay.

I think you're right.

All right.

Should we go to bed?

We've got an early start tomorrow.

Yeah.

How you doing?

Hey. Can I help you?

I, uh... It's not so stupid. I was driving last night, and I drove over a

and I think I scratched the underside or knocked something loose.

Better hope there's no brain damage, man. It's expensive.

Want me to take a look?

Yeah, thanks.

So,

uh, how'd you hear about us?

Oh, I, uh...

I met one of your crew guys a little while back. He said if I ever needed

anything, I should come by.

Oh, yeah?

Who was that?

You know, I didn't get his name. He was kind of tall, longish hair.

When was this?

Oh, I'd say about a month ago. Why?

That's Tony. He doesn't work for us anymore.

He doesn't? No.

Why is that?

You know, your car is fine.

It doesn't have any damage. I didn't even see it scratch.

Be around.

Go.

Go. Go.

Look,

man. Look, why don't you just come clean with me and tell me what you're doing

here? Because there's nothing wrong with your car.

Are you looking for Tony?

Huh?

Got me. I'm looking for Tony, and I would really appreciate it if you could

me find him.

You know, you don't look like the type of guy that deals with guys like Tony.

What does that mean?

He's a drug addict.

He's a thief, and he's a thug.

When he stopped showing up to work over here, I found out he was pulling stuff

out of my shop.

It's bad news, man.

You shouldn't go near him.

Unfortunately, I don't have a choice.

Look, man, could you just tell me where he lives?

He's gone, man.

He left town. That's the kind of guy he is.

Last I heard, he got some money together and he just skipped off.

Left everything.

Bounced out on his girl and his new baby. So his wife is still here?

Yeah. She's probably still in the same house unless she got kicked out.

Would you please just give me her name and her address, please?

All right.

I'll give you his information.

And you didn't get it from me, okay? No, yeah. You got me?

100%.

You ready?

No, I don't think we should do this. I don't think we should do it. I really

think that we should call the police. I don't think we can do this.

My baby's in there.

Okay, so we're just going to go in there and we're going to talk to her.

You can do this.

Hi. Who are you?

We, um... We are just passing through the area.

Unfortunately, our cell phones don't have the best service.

We're just wondering if there's any way that we could maybe come in. If you have

a phone we could use just really, really fast. Actually, we're moving, so we

don't have a... The phone's not hooked up, so... You're moving.

Yeah, so it's really not a good time if you could just go away.

Well, that went well.

I told you to go away. I don't have a

phone. I don't need a phone.

I need to know if you want your baby.

What are you talking about?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Your baby girl. Do you want her or not?

How do you know he took my baby?

Because we know.

We saw him, and we know. So, do you want her back?

No. No.

No. No, wait, wait, wait, wait. You are going to go to jail for a very long time

if you don't talk to me.

Okay.

We are not the police.

We haven't even contacted them yet.

But I swear to God, I will drag your ass down there right now if you don't talk

to me.

Come in quickly.

Come on.

Come on. Come on, quickly.

Where is she?

Where is she? Where's the baby?

What are you talking about? You said you saw him take the baby.

Yes, we saw him take the baby. We saw him switch the babies in the hospital.

Where is she?

I mean, you guys need to get out of here. We're not leaving until we know

the hell is going on.

Did you give birth in Walnut Creek Hospital to a baby girl last month?

You did, didn't you?

You did.

It was your baby.

You had your baby. Why did you take ours?

Answer her!

Who are you people?

We are the parents of the child that you stole. Why did you steal our baby?

Call in the police.

All right, go ahead. Call whoever the hell you want, but we are not leaving

until we know everything. Ray, stop.

Stop.

No one's calling anybody.

Just answer the question.

Where is he?

All we want is our baby, okay?

So you can either help us or spend the next 20 years in prison. Take your pick.

I didn't want to get pregnant.

Tony forced me. Yeah, Tony. Where the hell is Tony?

Tony! Right.

He left me after he got the money.

What money?

Look, he made me get pregnant because he wanted to... No, he couldn't what?

No, he couldn't what? Look at me.

Please, look at me.

Just talk to me. Just tell me what.

Tony knows this guy that works at an adoption agency, and he found out that

can make a lot of money if you have a baby.

So I got pregnant, and I thought that...

Tony was going to fall in love with me and get married to me. And he would just

forget about the money. But he didn't forget about the money. He just left me.

Oh, my God.

You told him.

You told our baby.

Who?

I don't know. It's his adoption agency in New York. In New York.

Why would you switch the babies? It was a bad pregnancy and I knew it wasn't

right.

Tony tried to make me have a baby right here in the kitchen.

No. No, you're going to have this baby here.

I know if we don't go to the hospital, she's going to die.

And then you won't get any money.

And you don't want that, do you?

Take me to the hospital. We don't have to tell them anything.

We don't have to give them no insurance information.

We don't even have to tell them our real names. If you tell your real name to

anyone at the hospital, I will kill you, okay?

Okay.

When we got to the hospital, I was five centimeters dilated, and the baby was

coming. There's nothing we could do about that, so they had to just rush me

right into the delivery room.

I told them my name was Mary. I figured the baby wasn't really mine. It's like

Mary. Push, Mary, push.

You know, there was no time for an epidural.

A lot of blood, and it was really painful, and I just felt like I was the

for Tony's money making.

Tony, I hate you! Where are you going?

To fix the situation you created.

No, wait!

What does that mean? Tony!

Tony, stop!

And he went into the nursery, and he switched the babies.

Why?

You can't sell a sick baby to an adoption agency, right?

So you needed a healthy one, and he took ours.

I haven't seen him since that day. I haven't seen him since he left. I

even seen my baby.

And do you know why?

It's because she's with us in our home, where we have nursed that sick little

girl back to health.

I have very little compassion for you right now. I never got to see my baby

again. Do you even understand what you have done?

I do. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I wish I could help you.

I want to fix it. You can.

You can tell us everything you know.

Tell us who Tony was talking to.

Tell us the name of the adoption agency, something.

Please.

Hey.

The contract.

Have everything you need to know.

It's a global organization, and Tony said you should have gone to a good

Where? In New York?

She could be anywhere.

I'm sorry, too.

We're gonna find her, you know?

Then one day she's gonna be old enough to understand that her mommy and her

daddy did everything they could to make us whole again.

Ari.

Think it's a protector.

Insert.

This way, Thompson.

Mr. Thompson, do you mind if I come by to discuss some new information?

We're actually not at home at the moment.

Can we speak over the phone?

I'd rather not.

Look, Detective, Alicia was feeling a little stressed, so I took her to Carmel

for the weekend.

I just... Really appreciate it if we could talk over the phone.

We found Hannah's mother.

You did?

Yes.

Unfortunately.

Well, unfortunately, she's dead.

She was severely beaten, strangled.

Looks like a crime of passion.

Oh, my God.

Ray, what?

Michelle was murdered.

Oh, my God.

Mr. Thompson, are you okay?

information, that's all.

Where are you, Ray?

Uh, Carmel, like I said.

Things were getting too stressful at home and, uh, you know, we needed to get

away.

Yeah, I understand.

Detective, have you found the father yet?

No, but we will eventually.

We're presuming that he killed the mother.

You'd keep us updated. We'd appreciate it.

Mr. Thompson?

Yeah.

You didn't ask me about your daughter.

Why is that?

Because if you would have known anything about her, I figure you would have led

with that information. Is that right?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Again, thank you for everything, and please keep us updated. We'd appreciate

Sure.

We'll talk soon.

He's on to us.

We're not doing anything wrong. We're not doing anything illegal, right?

We're just being proactive.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Hey. What?

No.

No, you can't have her.

She's mine.

No.

No, she's mine.

She belongs with me. She's mine.

Give her back. No. She belongs with me. She is never going back with you. You

were never her mother. You gave that up and you injected that in her. She

doesn't belong to you. Give me my baby back.

She's my daughter now. No.

She's mine.

Oh, Alicia.

Whoa.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey. It's okay. It's me.

It's me.

Hey.

Come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here.

What's going on?

I had a dream.

About what?

Michelle was here.

She was here. She was in the room.

She's asking for Hannah. She's pleading for me to give Hannah back to her.

I can't give her back.

I don't want to lose her. I don't want to lose her.

And then do I.

This is her daughter now.

Right.

If Hannah's Michelle's baby,

our little girl doesn't even have a name.

What if we call her Julia?

After your mom.

She would have loved that.

So that's it?

Yeah. She's our Julia?

She's our Julia.

Yes, I see you at two o 'clock.

Okay, thanks.

Hello. Do you have an appointment?

Hi. Yes, we're the Shermans. We have a 9 a .m. appointment with Mr. Valentini.

Yes, we have you right here.

Please, wait a moment. Mr. Valentini will be with you in just a second.

Great. Thank you. Mm -hmm.

These are actual kids that you've placed, huh?

That's right.

This feels so rewarding, huh? Oh, it is.

May I?

Please, have some.

Oh, s'mores.

Wife's favorite.

Hey.

Okay? Mr.

and Mrs. Sherman.

Good morning.

It's a pleasure meeting you both. Mr.

Valentini, thanks for seeing us on such short notice. Of course. Of course, my

pleasure. Let's go into the conference room, shall we?

Now, you've traveled a very long distance, so...

Let's just get to the business at hand, shall we?

I understand you're looking to adopt a child.

Yes, we are.

I had a medical issue a few years back, and unfortunately I'm unable to have

children of my own.

Well, we're excited to explore the options that you have available.

Well, I'm really glad you contacted me.

As you know, we offer parents around the world the opportunity to adopt a

healthy child without the usual hassles that come with the adoption process. The

long wait periods, fostering, etc.

That's perfect. That's exactly what we're looking for. A happy, healthy

who can be in our home as soon as possible.

Before we start the process, it's important I make the financials very

Now, the fee...

for adopting a child is $100 ,000.

We'll need $50 ,000 deposit to start the process, and once we find a child that

matches your search, at that point, we'll require the second half.

Oh, yeah, that shouldn't be a problem, Mr. Valentini. My wife and I are

committed to the process and the expense.

Great.

Okay, so I'd appreciate if you'd take your time and fill out this

This survey will help us find the perfect match.

For your family.

I will go and inform my receptionist that we have two new clients.

I will need some form of payment.

Oh, sure. Not a problem.

I'll be back.

Wonderful.

Can you believe this guy?

So what's next?

We have to find a way to get it to the computer system.

A check for $50 ,000 will start the adoption process.

Yeah, and instead of a check, a wire transfer would be quicker, right? So all

need are the routing and account numbers. I can get it right to you.

All the information and numbers are on the contract.

Oh, of course.

Perfect.

Well, that's great.

Mr.

Valentini, we're just going to take the survey and the contracts and everything

home, look it over, get it all filled out.

We are just so excited. We are. To start our family.

Great.

Well, the money will be in your account as soon as the banks open on the West

Coast.

I'm looking forward to working with both of you.

Likewise. And watching your beautiful family grow.

Have a wonderful day.

You as well.

Now what do we do?

What's that?

The exits go to the doors.

Where did you get that?

The reception desk.

How do you even know what door it's for?

We'll figure it out.

Stay away.

Next time I'll kill you.

Go,

please.

Ray, what happened to you?

Oh,

my God. What happened to you?

I'm all right. No, you're not. You're bleeding.

Oh, you're fine. Sit right there and don't move.

Come here.

Look at me.

What happened?

Nothing. Nothing.

All right, some guy almost, well, some guy tried to kill me. But other than

that, nothing happened. What?

I'm not dead.

Right?

I told you to be careful.

I was.

I came back alive, didn't I?

And?

And?

I found Julia.

What?

You did?

Yeah.

She's here.

Mm -hmm. She's here. She's in Manhattan?

Yeah. Oh, my God.

Let's go get her. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ray.

No.

You're not going anywhere.

All right? That baby is right here.

She's not leaving.

You need to get to a hospital.

I'm Tamara Seymour. I work with Mr. Valentini at the agency.

I'd like to stop by and do a cursory checkup on you and the baby, if that's

okay. Certainly. That's not a problem. I can do it this afternoon.

How about if we meet Central Park by the pond with the sailboats? Okay, perfect.

I'll see you there.

I'd like to

make

the time, come by, check in, and just make sure things are still going well.

We're very appreciative of Mr.

Valentini's efforts.

Without him, we wouldn't have our precious little Elizabeth.

Elizabeth?

Yes, that's her name.

You know that, don't you?

Of course.

It's a very beautiful name.

Very regal. Thank you. It was my husband's mother's name.

We named her in honor of her.

Would you like to meet her? She's just right over here.

Certainly, yeah.

Yeah, come on, I'll introduce you. I just have to get this drawer out.

This is Elizabeth.

She's a bit colicky right now.

Do you want to hold her?

Oh, sure.

There you go.

Wow. How did you do that?

You're good.

I don't know. I guess it's having a baby.

Oh, I have to get this.

Can you hold it for just one moment longer?

Be right back.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yes, but I just, I have to get ready.

You're so cool.

Mommy's here.

Mommy's here, my sweet girl.

What did you say?

I didn't, um... I didn't say anything.

No.

You told her that she's your little girl.

No, I didn't. I didn't say that. Don't call me a liar. Yes, you did.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

You don't work for Mr. Valentini, do you?

Who do you work for?

What is going on?

She's my daughter.

What? She was stolen from a hospital in Walnut Creek, California.

You came here to kidnap my baby. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't. I didn't. God,

please, please, please. I didn't. I promise.

Okay? I didn't.

Hear me out, please.

She was born in California.

Just before she was born, another baby came in with a different couple.

They were planning to sell their baby to Mr. Valentini's agency for $50 ,000.

But she was sick.

So they swapped the babies in the hospital.

They took her instead.

And that's how you ended up with her. No. No.

I'm sorry. This is done. I'm sorry.

Mrs. Burnett, please.

Please.

Give her some formula and just go over there. Please.

Please, Mrs. Burnett.

Just listen to me.

Please. Okay?

Look, I'm...

traveled from across the country with my husband looking for her.

We have been to hell and back.

I promise you, I'm not lying to you. I wouldn't... Can't you see how desperate

am? Can't you understand any of this? Listen to me.

Elizabeth is my baby.

No, she isn't.

You've had that baby for two weeks.

I carried her for nine months. I gave birth to her.

How am I supposed to believe you?

I mean, you look sincere.

But maybe you're just acting.

I'll do anything right now.

Anything. I'll go take a DNA test. I'll call her doctor right now and get her

birth certificate with her footprints on it. I swear to you they're going to

match. No, this is not happening.

This can't happen.

What are you doing? What are you doing? You're lying. I'm not lying. I'm calling

Mr. Valentini right now.

And what do you think he's going to do? He's just going to lie to you, too.

Mrs. Burnett, why did you come here?

Do you think you can just... Walk into my life and take my child away? I don't

know what I thought.

Okay? No, I just needed to see her.

I needed to see her.

And make sure that it was her before we... Before you took her away from me?

You know she's yours.

Yes, she is.

I can look at her and I can feel it. And I know that you can feel it too. I know

you can. Mel, you're wrong.

She doesn't even look like you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You could show me proof.

And she's definitely yours.

Really? Really?

Of course.

What kind of woman would I be to keep a mother from her child?

Hi. I'm so sorry.

I can't even imagine how difficult this is for you right now.

Yes, but you... You are her mother.

And... It's not right.

But they did.

And my husband and I will do everything in our power to shut down Mr.

Valentini's operation.

Babies are not commodities to be sold and shipped across the country.

We're going to tell her everything about you.

I didn't do anything.

Yes, you did.

You keep her little girl at home.

You and your husband loved her the way that we would have.

We didn't know what she was for a whole month.

She was with some awful people somewhere.

And the whole time, she was with you.

That love that you gave her is invaluable.

I hope that you and Elizabeth, I mean Julia,

have a safe trip back to San Francisco.

Thank you. Thank you.

Please come visit us.

Of course I will.

Thank you.

We're not going to give up. We're going to adopt again.

I will leave the three of you to

reacquaint and start your family.

I'll see myself out.

It is.

Megan, it is.

Alicia!

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

This is Julia.

I knew it.

Let's go home.
