I INVITED MY BOSS -- TERRY DOUGAN.

I KNOW WHO YOUR BOSS IS, JANE.

HEAD'S UP, SWEETIE, TREE COMING THROUGH. BEEP-BEEP!

WELL, THEN YOU KNOW HE'S DIVORCED AND HE'S ALL ALONE.

HAVE YOU ALREADY ASKED HIM?

HEY, BRANDON, LOOK AT THIS ONE.

RON, IT'S CHRISTMAS.

HIS KIDS ARE WITH HIS EX-WIFE

AND HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FAMILY HERE.

I SAID IT'S FINE.

NO YOU DIDN'T.

WE'LL MEET YOU AT THE MALL.

WE'RE LEAVING RIGHT NOW.

I'LL BE THERE IN 20 MINUTES.

HEY, DADDY, LOOK, I'M A BELL.

YES, YOU ARE.

REAL 20 MINUTES, OR COP 20 MINUTES?

I'M WALKING OUT THE DOOR RIGHT NOW.

LISTEN, DID BRANDON CHANGE HIS SOCKS?

THE ONES HE PUT ON THIS MORNING

WERE ALL FULL OF HOLES.

BYE.

WHAT?

SOCKS. CHANGE. NOW.

COME ON, DING-DONG.

DADDY, CAN I GET A NEW DRESS FOR MY BARBIE?

IT'S ONE MORE DAY TILL CHRISTMAS.

BRANDON.

PLEASE, DADDY.

BRANDON.

JANE, YOU STILL HERE? YOU'RE OFF.

NO, NO, I'M GOING.

LISTEN, WHAT SHOULD I BRING FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER?

I WAS THINKING, COUPLE OF PIES

OH, YEAH?

YOU RESISTED ARREST,

YOU ASSAULTED YOUR WIFE AND CHILD--

HEY! HEY! HEY!

AND YOU THREATENED A POLICE OFFICER.

PUT HIM IN MY CAR.

HEY, WE CAN BOOK HIM, UH.

CAPTAIN SAID YOU'RE OFF TODAY, SO...

YOU'RE TAYLOR, RIGHT?

YEAH. LAST TIME YOU BOOKED HIM, HE WAS

BACK HERE AGAIN IN SIX HOURS.

PUT HIM IN MY CAR.

...SEVERE ABDOMINAL PAIN,

PRESSURE'S DROPPING, DOWN TO 80 OVER 50.

HELP ME!

BABY'S HEART RATE IS DROPPING. READING 120.

OH, SHE'S ABRUPTING.

WE'RE HERE NOW, COME ON. HANG ON, HANG ON.

WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE BABY. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE BABY.

THAT'S IT. PUSH...PUSH.

AH...AH...AH...

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS MIRACLE, HUH?

[ BABY CRYING ]

YOU DID IT, BABY.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY.

[ LAUGHING ]

OOH, HE'S NOT CRYING...

HE'S OK. HE'S JUST A BIT CONFUSED, THAT'S ALL.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

OH, HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

[ CHOIR SINGING ]

NOW YOU HAVE A NEPHEW TOO, AUNTIE EVELYN.

HE'S BEAUTIFUL.

HOW COME YOU DON'T HAVE A BABY, AUNTIE?

DON'T YOU WANT ONE?

YES, I DO...VERY MUCH.

AND I'LL HAVE ONE TOO... ONE OF THESE DAYS.

THERE.

"THERE" WHAT?

NEVER MIND.

LET'S JUST GO, DAD. SHE'S NOT COMING.

SHE'S ON HER WAY, BRANDON. SHE HAD AN EMERGENCY.

SHE'S ALWAYS GOT AN EMERGENCY.

HI, HI, HI, HI... I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. HELLO.

HI, HI...DO I KNOW YOU?

I DON'T KNOW, DO YOU?

HEY, YOU...

IS THIS ABOUT THE SCOOTER, BRANDON?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WE'VE TALKED ENOUGH ABOUT SCOOTERS.

SEE? I TOLD YOU, DAD. BRANDON,

THAT'S ENOUGH, ALL RIGHT. COME ON, BRANDON.

I CHANGED MY MIND, MOMMY.

SHE DOESN'T WANT THE BAKE OVEN ANY MORE.

SHE WANTS THE BARBIE DREAM HOUSE.

BUT, HONEY, YOU ALREADY

WROTE SANTA A LETTER.

I'LL WRITE HIM ANOTHER ONE. IT'S TOO LATE

TO WRITE ANOTHER ONE, BECAUSE TOMORROW'S CHRISTMAS EVE.

THEN I'LL JUST TELL HIM MYSELF.

OH, NO, LAUREL, NO.

WE'RE GOING TO BE IN LINE ALL DAY. NO, NO.

JUST, JUST LEAVE HIM A NOTE, OK?

OK, I GUESS.

LISTEN, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO LOOK AT THE STUFFED ANIMALS.

DADDY AND I NEED TO HAVE A TALK...OK?

BRANDON, GO WITH HER.

MOM! BRANDON...

OH, MY GOD.

WHEN DID SHE CHANGE HER MIND?

ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

SHE DID THE SAME THING LAST YEAR.

SHE'LL PROBABLY CHANGE HER MIND

AGAIN BEFORE TOMORROW.

OK, WELL, JUST IN CASE SHE DOESN'T AGAIN,

YOU GO GET THE DREAM HOUSE AND I'LL TAKE THE KIDS HOME.

GIMME A BREAK.

OK, OK...I'LL GET THE DREAM HOUSE, YOU TAKE THEM HOME.

OK.

OK.

[ P.A. ]: WOULD A JOHN PETERSON PLEASE

COME TO THE INFORMATION BOOTH.

I'LL TAKE THIS TEDDY, PLEASE. WHERE ARE THEY?

BRANDON?

LAUREL?

BRANDON?

LAUREL!

BRANDON!

BRANDON!

BRANDON...BRANDON.

WHERE'S LAUREL?

SHE'S OVER THERE.

WHERE? BRANDON, YOU STAY RIGHT HERE. YOU DON'T MOVE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

[ SANTA'S LAUGH ECHOING ]

LAUREL!

OH...LAUREL.

LAUREL...

I'M SORRY.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

IS THAT OK, SANTA?

YES, OF COURSE.

IF YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD GIRL,

AND I'M SURE YOU HAVE,

THEN I'LL SEE IF THERE ARE ANY

DREAM HOUSES IN MY SACK TONIGHT.

HI.

I FOUND ANOTHER SANTA

AND THERE WAS NO LINE-UP.

SEE? I TOLD YOU SHE WOULD BE HERE.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO SO NUTSO.

AND I TOLD YOU TO STAY WITH YOUR SISTER.

SORRY.

HEY, HEY, IT'S OK, IT'S OK.

COME HERE. COME ON.

GIMME A HUG.

DON'T YOU EVER,

EVER DO THAT AGAIN, OK?

OK.PROMISE?

YEAH.OK.

THANKS, SANTA.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY COP

ON THE FORCE, YOU KNOW?

HE WAS HIDING IN THE CLOSET, TERRY,

THAT'S HOW FRIGHTENED HE WAS.

WHAT IF YOU WEREN'T THERE?

WHO WOULD HE CALL THEN?

I WAS THERE.

YOU SHOULD'VE-- YOU SHOULD'VE

TOLD HIM TO CALL 9-1-1.

HE'S CALLED 9-1-1, AND EVERY TIME,

HE GETS A DIFFERENT OFFICER AND A DIFFERENT STORY

AND A FEW HOURS LATER HIS FATHER'S

RIGHT BACK TERRORIZING THE FAMILY AGAIN.

HE TRUSTS ME, TERRY.

THAT'S WHY I GAVE HIM THE PHONE.

HONESTLY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE.

IT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE,

IN MY JUDGEMENT, YOU PUT BOTH

THE BOY AND YOURSELF AT RISK.

AND...BECAUSE I TOLD YOU

NOT TO GIVE HIM THE PHONE.

SO, YOU WANT TO DO THIS NOW?

DID YOU HEAR?

I DIDN'T TELL THEM I WAS GOING TO GIVE

THE BOY A PHONE, I JUST DID IT.

NOW THEY'RE SAYING I PUT HIM AT RISK.

AND YOU.

THIS IS ABOUT ME NOT GOING BY THE BOOK -- MAKES TERRY CRAZY.

WHAT? YOU AGREE WITH HIM?

JANE, YOU SAID YOURSELF HE'S A REPEAT VIOLENT OFFENDER.

THAT'S RIGHT,

THAT'S RIGHT, AND NOW HE'S IN JAIL,

WHERE HE BELONGS, BECAUSE OF THAT PHONE.

SO, HOW'S TERRY?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, I MEAN, SINCE THE DIVORCE.

IS HE SEEING ANYONE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, LIKE, DATING?

NO, WHY, YOU GOT SOMEBODY IN MIND?

NO...

JUST WONDER WHY HE CALLS HERE ALL THE TIME.

I MEAN, HE'S NOT YOUR PARTNER ANY MORE.

NO, HE'S MY BOSS. THAT'S WHY HE CALLS.

AFTER HOURS?

WELL, THERE ARE NO HOURS. YOU KNOW THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?

I'M SUGGESTING THAT HE SEES YOU MORE THAN I DO.

THAT'S NOT TRUE... AND IT'S NOT FAIR.

MAYBE, BUT THAT'S HOW I FEEL.

GIVE ME A BREAK, HUH?

I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.

[ HUMMING JOY TO THE WORLD ]

TODAY IS THE DAY, DARRYL. I CAN FEEL IT.

WOULD YOU DRIVE ME?

WHERE?

THE HOSPITAL.

WHAT FOR?

I JUST SAID. TODAY IS THE DAY.

LATER, OK? I'M WATCHING THIS.

NO, LATER IS NOT OK.

I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY -- OUR BABY.

HAVE IT LATER, WHEN THIS IS OVER.

[ TV ]: ALL RIGHT, NUMBER 20 RUNNING WELL THIS WEEKEND...

THERE -- IT'S OVER.

[ GIGGLING ]

OH, WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO TODAY, ANYWAY? LOOK FOR A JOB?

CRADLE YOUR ARMS. LIKE THAT.

THERE YOU GO.

LIKE THIS, MOMMY?

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

CAREFUL, HE'S SLEEPING.

HE'S ALWAYS SLEEPING.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

[ BEEPING ]

OH...

NO, NO, NO...

I HAVE TO TAKE THIS.

JUST A MINUTE.

'MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

GOOD.

TIRED.

AND HOW'S OUR YOUNG MAN DOING?

UM, WELL, ACTUALLY, HE WON'T FEED, YOU KNOW, SO...

WHEN HE GETS HUNGRY ENOUGH, HE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

CAN WE GO HOME TODAY?

I'D KIND OF PREFER IF YOU

DIDN'T, BUT SINCE IT'S CHRISTMAS...

YOU CAN GO HOME THIS AFTERNOON.

BUT...

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WRITE A PRESCRIPTION

FOR EXTRA LOVE AND KISSES FROM HIS BIG SISTER.

BYE-BYE.SEE YOU.

KAREN, UM...APPARENTLY WE GOT CUSTOMERS LINED UP OUTSIDE.

OH, PHIL, I THOUGHT THAT EVELYN WAS

GOING TO WATCH THE STORE FOR US.

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS...I SHOULD GO.

OK.

COME ON, BOO, WE GOT TO TAKE YOU TO GRANNY'S.

THERE YOU GO. GIVE A KISS.

BYE, MOMMY. BYE-BYE, SWEETIE.

LOVE YOU GUYS.

OK, SEE YOU.

BYE, BUGALOO.

BYE, SWEETIE.

OK...YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?

YOU'RE GOING TO EAT.

YES, YOU ARE.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY IT AGAIN, AND YOU'RE GOING TO EAT.

YES, YOU ARE.

AND MORE FLOWERS FOR YOU.

AREN'T YOU LUCKY.

HI, KAREN.

HI.

HEY...HOW'S THE NURSING GOING?

OH...NOT GOOD. HE WON'T TAKE IT.

OH, DON'T WORRY. SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE.

ACTUALLY, WE THOUGHT WE COULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN.

AND NOW, LOOK AT HIM. HEE-HEE-HEE...

OH, HE'S BEAUTIFUL.

ISN'T HE SWEET?

LISTEN, I'LL CHECK BACK WITH YOU

IN A FEW MINUTES -- SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING.

OK, THANKS.

OK...PLEASE, JUST...

I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE A CHRISTMAS BABY.

KISS ME.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

OH, HERE IS THE LITTLE GUY I WAS LOOKING FOR.

PAUL LEWIS.

WE NEED TO TAKE SOME HEMOGLOBIN FOR THE LAB.

UM...I, ACTUALLY...

I HAVEN'T FED HIM YET.

HE'S HAVING TROUBLE LATCHING ON--

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, MRS. LEWIS.

WE'LL HAVE HIM BACK IN 20 MINUTES.

OK, BUT JUST PLEASE BE CAREFUL

WITH THE NEEDLES, ALL RIGHT?

DON'T YOU WORRY, I'LL MAKE SURE

HE DOESN'T EVEN WAKE UP.

HI, KAREN. CAME IN TO CHECK IN ON YOU.

OH...I'M SORE.

OH, WHERE IS HE?

UM...WELL, THEY TOOK HIM FOR THE BLOOD TESTS.

OH, WHAT TESTS? WHO TOOK HIM?

UH...THE NURSE.

WHICH NURSE?

UM...I DON'T KNOW, JUST THE NURSE.

WELL...

WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME MORE REST.

UH, I'LL JUST CONFIRM THAT AND GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

W-WAIT A MINUTE. CONFIRM WHAT?

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BLOOD TESTS FOR THE LEWIS BABY?

MM-MMM.

OK, I WANT YOU TO GO TO THE LAB

AND SEE IF HE'S THERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I WANT YOU TO GO TO THE NURSERY,

SEE IF THE LEWIS BABY'S THERE, OK?

NURSE CARR?

EXCUSE ME!

WHAT NURSE?

SHE DOESN'T KNOW, AND THERE WERE NO TESTS SCHEDULED.

WHAT ARE WE SAYING HERE?

I-I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE BABY IS.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, HE'S NOT IN THE HOSPITAL.

MY GOD.

I'M CALLING FOR A LOCKDOWN.

SECURITY, THIS IS MS. HOPKINS.

LOCK DOWN THE HOSPITAL.

RIGHT NOW.

[ ALARM RINGING ]

CODE YELLOW, CODE YELLOW...

EXCUSE ME, SIR, I MUST ASK YOU TO WAIT HERE.

MA'AM...MA'AM?

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

MRS. LEWIS?YEAH.

I'M THERESA HAWKINS-- RIGHT, WHERE'S PAUL?

CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR. WHERE'S PAUL?

I WANT TO REASSURE YOU ON BEHALF--

WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE?

HE'S NOT HERE.

WE THINK HE'S BEEN ABDUCTED...

BY THE WOMAN WHO SAID SHE WAS A NURSE.

SHE'S NOT. WE DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS--

OH, MY GOD! I WANT TO REASSURE YOU

THAT ALL NORMAL AND NECCESSARY PROCEDURES--

I HAVE TO FIND MY BABY!

I HAVE TO FIND MY BABY.

[ SOBBING ]

OH, MY GOD.

POTATOES, SWEET POTATOES, CARROTS, YUCK.

CARROTS, YUM.

BREAD CRUMBS, APPLES, RAISINS...

...APPLES, RAISINS.

HOCKEY PUCKS...

HOCKEY PUCK.

BREAD, BUTTER, DOG BARF...

BUTTER, DOG...OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE FINISHED THAT FOR LUNCH.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ELSE?

SMELLY SOCKS?

SMELLY SOCKS -- OUT OF THOSE, TOO.

GUESS THAT MEANS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TICKLE YOU.

YOU CAN'T BUST ME!

GET HIM, JANEY!

THAT'S IT. OH, YEAH. LOOK AT HIM.

DADDY...WHAT'S A VIRGIN?

UH...HONEY.

WHAT?

LAUREL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT A VIRGIN IS.

A VIRGIN?

OH, HONEY, YOU'RE THE TEACHER.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER? YEAH.

HA...

UM...A VIRGIN IS A WOMAN WHO'S NOT MARRIED.

[ IMITATING BUZZER ]

WRONG -- MARY WAS MARRIED TO JOSEPH.

AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES HER SO SPECIAL.

THAT'S THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS.

SO WHAT ABOUT SANTA? IS HE A VIRGIN?

[ PHONE RINGING ]

I'LL GET IT.

LET IT RING, JANE.

THE MACHINE CAN GET IT, ALL RIGHT?

[ TV ]: A BABY BOY WAS TAKEN FROM THE CARLETON HOSPITAL.

POLICE BELIEVE THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN--

OH, DON'T CHANGE IT, BRANDON. GIVE IT...

WHAT CHANNEL WERE YOU ON? I DON'T KNOW. A NEWS CHANNEL.

BRANDON... GO BACK, GO BACK.

MOM...JUST GIVE IT TO ME.

BRANDON!CALM DOWN.

STOP. THAT'S IT.

HELLO.

JANE.

[ TV ]: THE NURSE WHO WAS LAST SEEN

WITH THE BABY, SOMEHOW ELUDED SECURITY.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE...

IT'S DOUGAN.

HEY, TERRY. HI.

YEAH, NO, I JUST SAW IT ON THE NEWS.

A NEWBORN?

DO YOU HAVE A SUSPECT?

RIGHT...RIGHT.

NO, I'M OFF.

I PROMISED THE KIDS.

RIGHT.

OK.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

SO, IS IT TRUE?

A NEWBORN BABY.

KAREN AND PHIL LEWIS.

OH...

LEWIS CYCLE.

HE'S GOT THAT BIKE SHOP ON MONTEITH.

THEY SELL SCOOTERS, TOO.

SO, DID THEY SAY THEY NEED YOU?

HE SAID THEY GOT IT COVERED. OK, GREAT.

SO, THEY'LL CALL IF THEY NEED YOU, RIGHT?

THEY NEED EVERYBODY. THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO GIVE ME A BREAK.

WELL, MAYBE YOU DESERVE ONE.

BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE THE TREE.

I KNOW, BUTTON.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

A BABY BOY GOT LOST.

SOMEBODY HAS TO HELP THE MOMMY AND DADDY FIND HIM

SO THEY CAN HAVE A GOOD

CHRISTMAS, TOO.

GIVE ME A SQUEEZIE HUG, GOOD GIRL.

OK, GO PLAY WITH BRANDON.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, NOT GO?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF.

I'M JUST GOING TO HELP THEM SET UP.

I'LL BE BACK IN AN HOUR.

WHERE'S THE MOTHER?

SHE'S IN HERE.

SHE'S IN WITH A SKETCH ARTIST RIGHT NOW.

GOT A FORENSICS TEAM HERE NOW UP FROM THE CITY.

THAT'S WHERE IT HAPPENED?

UH-HUH.

SHE'S STILL IN THERE? EXCUSE ME, SIR.

SHE'S MY WIFE! LET ME THROUGH!

I'M SORRY.

I WAS SO SLEEPY.

I JUST WANTED A LITTLE BIT OF A NAP.

I DIDN'T EVEN GET A GOOD LOOK AT HER.

I'M-I'M CAPTAIN DOUGAN.

WHERE'S MY BABY? I WANT YOU TO KNOW

WE HAVE EVERYONE LOOKING FOR HIM.

I'M BRINGING IN PEOPLE-- WHERE'S MY BOY?

WHERE IS HE!EXCUSE ME.

MAYBE WE COULD GET A TIMEOUT IN HERE, HUH, GUYS?

YEAH, GOOD IDEA. OK, EVERYBODY OUT OF HERE. LET'S GO.

RIGHT NOW. EVERYBODY OUT.

COULD WE GET TEA AND HONEY, PLEASE?

GET SOME TEA AND HONEY. ORGANIZE ANOTHER ROOM FOR THE LEWIS'.

YES, SIR.

MRS. LEWIS.

HI...

I'M JANE McKINLEY. LOOK, IF THIS

IS A RANSOM, ALL WE HAVE IS THE HOUSE.

WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S A RANSOM.

HE HASN'T BEEN FED.

I MEAN, I TRIED TO, BUT...

MRS. LEWIS--

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HE MUST EAT.

NOBODY SAID ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT BLOODWORK,

I NEVER SHOULD'VE HANDED HER THAT BABY.

I SHOULD NEVER...I'M SORRY.

THAT'S OK.

THERE'S TWO THINGS YOU BOTH SHOULD UNDERSTAND.

FIRST, YOU DIDN'T DO A SINGLE THING WRONG.

ALL YOU GUYS DID WAS GIVE BIRTH TO A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY.

AND SECOND, LIKE CAPTAIN DOUGAN SAID, EVERYBODY

IN CARLETON IS LOOKING FOR PAUL RIGHT NOW.

WE'VE GOT ROAD BLOCKS ON EVERY ROAD

LEADING IN AND OUT OF TOWN.

SO, WHOEVER DID THIS IS NOT GOING TO GET VERY FAR.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND YOUR BABY.

HOW LONG BEFORE THEY KNEW THE BABY WAS MISSING?

COUPLE OF MINUTES.

ABOUT 10 BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN.

[ SOBBING ]

...AND HE WAS DRESSED LIKE A NURSE

AND NOBODY OUT THERE TOLD ME...

HEY...

HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FOXY?

SURPRISE.

NO PADDING. WHAT'S GOING ON, HUH?

COME HERE. I HAVE A BIG SURPRISE. COME ON.

A SURPRISE, HUH.

YES. MERRY CHRISTMAS. OK, CLOSE YOUR EYES.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

OH, KINKY.

KEEP 'EM CLOSED, KEEP 'EM CLOSED.

WHAT IS IT?

JUST KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED.

CAN I OPEN 'EM?

NOW.

THIS IS JOSHUA, YOUR SON.

SEE? HE'S GOT YOUR EYES.

WHO'S HE?

HE'S OURS.

I TOLD YOU IT WAS GOING TO BE A CHRISTMAS BABY...YEAH.

NO...

NO, NO, NO.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE A BABY, BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T PREGNANT, MARY.

WHERE'D YOU GET HIM?

I MET THIS WOMAN A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I DIDN'T TELL YOU.

BUT SHE ALREADY HAS FIVE

CHILDREN AND SHE DIDN'T THINK THAT

SHE COULD DEAL WITH HAVING ANOTHER BABY.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS

GOING TO DO -- MAYBE KILL HERSELF,

MAYBE KILL THE BABY.

SHE BEGGED ME TO TAKE HIM, AND I THOUGHT,

WELL, IT MUST BE A MIRACLE.

GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE WANT A CHILD--

SHUT UP, MARY!

SHUT UP, YOU'RE LYING.

DON'T YOU HURT MY BABY. TAKE HIM BACK.

TAKE HIM BACK NOW OR I'M CALLING THE COPS, MARY.

DON'T BE SILLY.

YOU ARE THE EX-CON ON PROBATION, NOT ME.

AND YOU ENCOURAGED ME TO WEAR THE PADDING.

YOU SAID IT MADE YOU FEEL BETTER, MARY.

I KNOW,

BUT THINK ABOUT HOW IT WOULD LOOK.

AND YOU TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

OH, JESUS...

OH, THAT'S WHERE YOU GOT HIM.

OH, JESUS...

LOOK, YOU...YOU CAN'T KEEP HIM.

MARY, IT'S KIDNAPPING.

OH, PLEASE, DARRYL...PLEASE?

JUST FOR CHRISTMAS, OK? PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE

ONE PERFECT CHRISTMAS AND THEN I'LL TAKE HIM BACK -- I PROMISE.

COME ON, DARRYL, COME HERE. LOOK.

DON'T.

DARRYL...

MARY...

COME ON, THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO, JOSHUA.

YEAH...SEE...LOOK.

JOSHUA, YOU'RE HOME, HUH?

I THINK YOU'RE HUNGRY, YEAH.

WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME FORMULA.

OH...YEAH.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEMALE CAUCASIAN, MID TO LATE 40s,

WELL SPOKEN, POSSIBLE BROWN HAIR, POSSIBLE EYE GLASSES,

POSSIBLY FAMILIAR WITH HOSPITAL PROCEDURE.

NOW, I WANT EVERY DOOR KNOCKED ON WITHIN A TWO-MILE RADIUS

OF THIS HOSPITAL; EACH UNIFORM OFFICER WILL TAKE A TEAM

OF VOLUNTEERS AND GET THAT DONE FAST -- DR. BLAINE.

I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT I THINK THIS CHILD IS

IN SERIOUS DANGER; HE WAS NOT FEEDING WELL THIS MORNING,

SO DEHYDRATION IS A REAL CONCERN -- I SINCERELY

HOPE THAT WHOEVER TOOK HIM KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING.

ANYTHING YOU NEED, WE'LL MAKE AVAILABLE.

WE NEED THOSE SECURITY TAPES.

ON THEIR WAY.

ALL RIGHT, I WANT A TEAM ON THOSE SECURITY TAPES,

AND I WANT A TEAM DOING BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ALL

OF THE STAFF -- FAMILY, TOO, FRIENDS, EMPLOYEES,

ANYONE WITH A POSSIBLE MOTIVE; A REMINDER: EXIGENT

CIRCUMSTANCES APPLY; THAT MEANS YOU DO NOT NEED A WARRANT,

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ASK QUESTIONS; YOU DO WHATEVER

CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY

OF THAT CHILD, IS THAT CLEAR?

[ VOICING AGREEMENT ]

LET'S GET TO WORK.

[ CLAMOURING ]

WE'RE SETTING UP SOME MONITORS SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE TAPES.

I'LL DO THE TAPES, YOU DO THE BACKGROUNDERS.

OR VICE VERSA, IF YOU WANT.

LOOK, IT'S ALWAYS BETTER IN TEAMS, WE'RE A GREAT TEAM.

YEAH, I KNOW, BUT WE'RE SO SHORT ON BODIES

AND WE'VE GOT SO MUCH GROUND TO COVER.

DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHRISTMAS DINNER?

I MEAN, EVER SINCE YOU INVITED ME, IT'S, THIS...I DON'T KNOW.

ARE YOU AVOIDING ME OR WHAT'S UP?

WELL, RON'S GOT IT INTO HIS HEAD THAT THERE'S SOMETHING

BETWEEN US -- I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S RIDICULOUS, I TOLD HIM

BUT I THINK IT'S THE HOURS AND THE PHONE CALLS AND EVERYTHING.

YEAH, I SEE, I SEE. OK. I'M SORRY.

NO, DON'T BE SORRY. NOTHING HAPPENED.

COME ON, YOU CAN TRY. YEAH, YOU CAN. NO, YOU CAN TRY IT HERE.

COME ON, SWEETHEART.

AW, JOSHUA, COME ON. IT'S OK, YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW.

WE NEED SOME DIFFERENT FORMULA.

NO, WE DON'T BECAUSE YOU'RE TAKING HIM BACK.

THERE'S SOME MORE MONEY IN MY WALLET. COME ON, DARRYL.

LOOK, I CAN'T TAKE HIM BACK HALF STARVED, CAN I?

COME ON.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME, MARY, I MEAN IT.

[ BABY CRYING ]

OH, JOSHUA.

THIS IS RIGHT AT THE TIME WE THINK PAUL WAS STOLEN.

LOOK AT THIS NURSE; SEE, SEE HOW SHE COVERS HER FACE

AS IF SHE KNOWS THE CAMERA IS THERE?

SHE SHOWS UP WHEN NOBODY ELSE IS AROUND.

WATCH, SHE ROUNDS THE CORNER HERE, SHE GRABS THE CHART,

HEADS OFF IN THE DIRECTION OF KAREN'S ROOM.

THEN WE NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.

DO WE HAVE HER ENTERING AND

LEAVING THE HOSPITAL?

I CHECKED THE MAIN ENTRANCE TAPES, THERE'S NO ONE SIMILAR.

FOUND SOMETHING IN ONE OF THE ROOMS.

I'LL TAKE IT.

SIR, YOU KNOW, I'M OFF TODAY.

I BOOKED THREE DAYS.

NO ONE'S OFF TODAY.

THING IS, I'VE GOT A VERY SPECIAL

GUEST HERE; SHE JUST FLEW IN FROM

OUT WEST FOR CHRISTMAS AND

SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANYBODY.

DO UP YOUR COLLAR, AND PARTNER UP WITH

SGT. McKINLEY, DO WHATEVER SHE SAYS.

[ P.A. ] DR. WILSON TO ROOM 503, DR. WILSON...

HEY, GET YOUR GLOVES ON.

I DON'T HAVE ANY GLOVES.

GET SOME.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S PREGNANCY PADDING; IT'S WHAT WOMEN USE TO TRY

ON CLOTHES WHEN THEY'RE FIRST PREGNANT.

CALL THE MATERNITY SHOPS, SEE IF ANYBODY'S HAD ONE STOLEN.

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE, NO ONE

IS GOING TO BE THERE.

CALL THEM AT HOME.

HOW WILL I KNOW WHO TO CALL?

YOU'RE A POLICE OFFICER, RIGHT? YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A DATA BASE.

IT WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

YOU DO KNOW WHAT A DATA BASE IS, RIGHT?

YEAH.

LOOK.

HERE SHE COMES, SEE? THERE'S THE HAT.

AND SHE PULLS IT DOWN SO WE CAN'T SEE HER FACE.

SHE LOOKS PREGNANT. THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS

ISN'T.

EXACTLY; LOOK, I THINK THIS IS THE SAME WOMAN, NO HAT,

LEAVING THE BUILDING NINE MINUTES AFTER PAUL WAS TAKEN,

AND THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF.

SHE STILL LOOKS PREGNANT.

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY SHE COMES IN PREGNANT, BUT SHE'S FAKING IT

WITH THE PADDING, SHE SWITCHES CLOTHES, TAKES PAUL, PUTS HIM

UNDER HER COAT, AND SHE WALKS OUT PREGNANT AGAIN.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANYBODY?

THAT'S NURSE CARR... WHAT'S HIS NAME?

MMM, SAM.

SAM, SAM THE ORDERLY... THAT'S DR. BLAINE.

KAREN, YOUR ROOM IS BEHIND THE CAMERA SO WE DON'T

HAVE TAPE OF ANYBODY GOING IN OR OUT.

RIGHT.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE HER?

UH, NO, UH, I CAN'T BE SURE BECAUSE

THERE WERE A LOT OF NURSES.

YOU RECOGNIZED THE OTHERS, COME ON.

BUT, I BARELY NOTICED HER. I WAS TIRED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. I JUST LET--

I'VE LET A COMPLETE STRANGER JUST WALK OFF WITH OUR CHILD.

NO, SHE WAS A NURSE. YOU HAD EVERY REASON TO TRUST HER.

WHAT ABOUT THE EYEGLASS CHAIN?

YEAH, YEAH, SHE HAD ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED

THAT IT WOULD BANG INTO PAUL.

YOU THINK THAT'S HER? POSSIBLY,

YEAH.

THAT'S GREAT, SWEETHEART.

HOW ARE YOU, KAREN? HOW DO YOU FEEL?

BACK OFF HERE, OK?

IS IT TRUE YOU'RE SUING THE HOSPITAL?

EXCUSE ME.

THE LEWIS' WILL BE MAKING A STATEMENT LATER ON TODAY.

NOW, PLEASE!

ARE THERE ANY SUSPECTS AT ALL?

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

EVERYBODY, JUST BACK OFF.

THOSE ARE VOLUNTEERS.

THEY'RE ALL LOOKING FOR PAUL.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

OH, JEEZ.

OH, MY GOD.

OH.

I'M SORRY, MOMMY, I'M SORRY.

CAREFUL.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE PAUL DISAPPEAR.

WHAT?

MOMMY'S REALLY TIRED, OK, JEN?

SWEETIE, YOU DIDN'T MAKE PAUL, YOU DIDN'T MAKE PAUL DISAPPEAR.

YES, I DID; I WAVED MY WAND OVER HIM AND SAID,

"PLEASE MAKE AUNT EVELYN A BABY,"

BUT I SAID SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE HE DISAPPEARED.

OH, BABY, YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG AND I...YOU DIDN'T!

OK, SWEETIE, LET'S GO. COME ON.

SWEETIE, PAUL IS GOING TO BE HOME SOON.

THEY'RE HERE.

OK, WE'RE ROLLING.

AHEM. WE JUST WANT TO SAY TO WHOEVER, UH...WE'RE NOT ANGRY.

WE JUST UH...UM...

UM, HE, AH... HE HAD A DIFFICULT BIRTH,

SO HE'S NOT REALLY STRONG RIGHT NOW...

AND UH...HE ALSO HAD DIFFICULTY FEEDING

SO, UH, HE'S GOING TO BE HUNGRY.

CAN YOU BRING HIM BACK, PLEASE?

WE JUST, UH...

I SWEAR TO GOD, WHOEVER YOU ARE, IF YOU HURT THAT BABY...

NO, NO, NO, PHIL. PHIL.

JANE SAID NOT TO DO THAT.

CUT IT....CUT IT!

WHY? IT'S PERFECT.

YOU CAN'T USE THAT.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

THIS IS FOR THE KIDNAPPERS, NOT THE RATINGS, BRETT. COME ON.

WE GOT A LEAD ON ONE OF

THE MATERNITY SHOPS.

IT'S OK. IT'S OK, KAREN. THEY WON'T USE THAT LAST PART.

THIS IS BULL.

I PROMISE.

MARY. MARY!

YOU SEEN THE NEWS, HUH -- IT'S ALL ON TV; NOW, I'M NOT

GOING BACK TO JAIL BECAUSE YOU'RE A FRIGGIN' LUNATIC.

GIVE IT TO ME, GIVE IT...

BUT DARRYL, STOP IT. IT IS TOO LATE NOW.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.

YOU DID THIS, NOT ME, OK? NOW, I DO NOT WANT A BABY.

YES, YOU DO. YES, YES, YOU DO. YOU WANT A BABY. WE HAD A BABY.

WE LOST HIM, OK -- NOW, YOU CAN'T JUST GO

AND TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S.

OK, FINE, HERE. YOU CAN GO TELL THEM WHATEVER YOU WANT.

MARY.

[ BABY CRYING ]

MARY.

LOOK, HON.

I DO WANT TO HAVE A BABY.

OUR BABY.

HON, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS KID IS.

AND MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HIM.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM.

I CHECKED THE CHART.

WELL, MAYBE HIS PARENTS WERE FREAKS, OR SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW, BUT IF IT'S OUR BABY, WE WILL KNOW.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID.

I CAN'T HAVE ANOTHER BABY.

I KNOW. I KNOW. HONEY, SOMETIMES DOCTORS MAKE MISTAKES.

LISTEN, WE WILL TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, OK?

BUT FIRST, YOU'VE GOT TO GET RID OF THAT BABY.

OK.

OK.

HI. I'M SERGEANT McKINLEY.

THIS IS CONSTABLE TAYLOR.

HI, I'M GAIL FRANKISH.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PREGNANCY

PADDING MIGHT BELONG TO YOU?

UH, IT COULD BE MINE, IT LOOKS LIKE MINE AND SOME DID

GO MISSING ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO.

IS THIS ABOUT THAT LITTLE BOY?

YEAH.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS WOMAN?

UH, WELL, I THINK THAT'S MARY.

MARY WHO?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I KNOW THE COAT.

THE COAT?

YEAH, IT'S ONE OF MINE. UM, MARY USED TO LOVE THAT COAT.

SHE'D ALWAYS COME IN AND TRY IT ON; SHE HAD

REALLY GREAT TASTE, BUT I DON'T THINK SHE HAD MUCH MONEY.

CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT HER,

HOW OLD SHE WAS, HER LAST NAME?

WELL, SHE WAS DEFINITELY

IN HER 40s, AND SHE WAS...NICE, YOU KNOW,

A LITTLE STRANGE, BUT NICE -- SHE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT

HER BOYFRIEND AND FALLING IN LOVE AND HOW HAVING THIS BABY

WAS JUST A DREAM COME TRUE

BECAUSE SHE'D NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D HAVE A BABY...UH,

OH, AND SHE HAD, YOU KNOW, THAT LOOK, THE WAY SOME WOMEN

[ CELL PHONE RINGING ]

JUST GLOW WHEN THEY'RE PREGNANT.

WELL, THAT WAS MARY.

DO YOU KNOW HER BOYFRIEND'S NAME?

UH, NO, UH, SORRY.

HELLO?

AND WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HER?

THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AGO.

AND WAS THAT AROUND THE TIME THE PREGNANCY PADDING DISAPPEARED?

YEAH, WELL, COME TO THINK OF IT, IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME,

I GUESS, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T GET USED EVERYDAY, SO...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

PLEASURE. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

THANKS.

I PROMISE -- THANKS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.MERRY CHRISTMAS.

YOU KNOW, SERGEANT, IF YOU COULD JUST LISTEN TO ME, JUST FOR

A SECOND, PLEASE; I MET THIS GIRL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO,

RIGHT, AND SHE SPENDS CHRISTMAS WITH HER FAMILY OUT WEST

EVERY YEAR, AND I CONVINCED HER TO COME OUT HERE

AND I RENTED A HOTEL ROOM SO WE COULD HAVE SOME TIME ALONE

TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, SO ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS JUST A COUPLE...

WHAT IF SHE HAD A MISCARRIAGE?

MY GIRLFRIEND?

NO, MARY, OR WHATEVER HER NAME IS; WHAT IF SHE HAD

A MISCARRIAGE AND SHE JUST COULDN'T BEAR IT?

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO BE LOOKING INTO:

WOMEN IN THEIR 40s WHO HAVE HAD MISCARRIAGES

IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

HELLO!

MOMMY'S BACK! SHE FOUND THE BABY.

AWWW...NOT YET, SWEETIE.

CAN I BE A VOLUNTEER SO

YOU CAN FIND THE BABY FASTER?

SORRY, HONEY, YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE A LITTLE OLDER.

ANOTHER KISS. DOWN YOU GO...HI!

WHERE'S THE TURKEY?

IT'S IN THE FRIDGE.

BUT WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING.

LET IT GO, JANE.

I HAD TO SEND HIM TO HIS ROOM.

GREATLY APPRECIATED BY THE POLICE...

CAN YOU BRUSH HER HAIR?

HE ALSO HAD DIFFICULTY FEEDING, SO HE'S GOING TO BE HUNGRY.

[ TV ]: ARE YOU SCARED? COME BACK HERE!

NO!

THERE'S NO USE RUNNING.

YOU SAID YOU WERE TAKING HIM BACK.

YEAH, WELL, THEY CAN FORGET ABOUT THAT NOW.

DO YOU SEE WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT ME?

THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT WHO I AM. NONE!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU, MARY.

LOOK, YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE,

THEY'VE GOT ROAD BLOCKS.

YOU ARE GOING TO DROP US OFF AT THE SERVICE CENTRE NEAR

THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, I'M GOING

TO BASH HIS BRAINS OUT.

YEAH, I KNOW, LOOK, I'M DOING MY BEST HERE, ALL RIGHT?

I'M GOING TO FIND OUT RIGHT NOW,

AND I'LL CALL YOU BACK, OK? OK. BYE. THANKS.

SO I TOLD HER I'D BE THERE BY 8:00.

IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE CHANCE OF THAT?

I WOULDN'T COUNT ON IT.

LOOK, AT 7:00 YOU CALL HER AND SAY

IT MIGHT BE 9:00 OR 10:00.

AT 10:00 YOU CALL HER, SAY YOU'RE NOT SURE.

AT 11:00 YOU CALL HER AND SAY YOU'RE STILL NOT SURE.

YOU HAVE A FIGHT, BLAME ME, BEG FORGIVENESS,

PLEAD FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS, SHE CAVES,

AT WHICH POINT, IT'S TOO LATE ANYWAY FOR HER TO LEAVE.

THAT'S SCARY.

WELL, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

SO, YOU EVER SEE YOUR HUSBAND?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD A FAMILY.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED.

ALL RIGHT, SO, WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

THREE WOMEN OVER THE AGE OF 40 WHO HAVE HAD MISCARRIAGES

IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS; THE ONE I TALKED TO ADOPTED A KID.

I TALKED TO THE OTHER ONE.

SHE MOVED TO VANCOUVER.

OK, SO, MARGARET WELMER, 45, MISCARRIED FOUR MONTHS AGO,

DOCTOR WAS G. SLOANE, BORN IN DUNHURST,

GRADUATE OF THE WALLACE SCHOOL OF NURSING,

THAT MEANS SHE KNOWS HER WAY AROUND A HOSPITAL.

I MEAN, THE NAME IS WRONG, BUT...SHE FITS THE PROFILE.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT THE STAFF.

SHE DIDN'T WANT ME TO GET THE BIKE.

BUT YOU GOT IT, THOUGH, DIDN'T YOU?

YEAH, THAT LITTLE DINKY THING.

EVERYONE I KNOW HAS GOT TEN-SPEEDS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH FOR THIS,

BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU ANYWAY.

YOU SEE, YOUR MOM HAD ANOTHER YOUNGER BROTHER.

HIS NAME WAS TOM.

AND ONE DAY, THEY WERE OUTSIDE PLAYING, AND HE RAN ACROSS

THE ROAD, AND HE GOT HIT BY A CAR...AND HE DIED.

IT WASN'T HER FAULT... BUT SHE'S NEVER FORGOTTEN IT.

SO, I HAD ANOTHER UNCLE?

YEAH, HE WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE.

IS THAT WHY I CAN'T HAVE A SCOOTER?

IT'S WHY SHE'S SO CAREFUL. MOMMY KNOWS BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

AND SHE DOESN'T WANT THEM TO HAPPEN TO US.

IS THAT WHY SHE'S A COP?

SHE THINKS SHE HAS TO

TAKE CARE OF EVERYBODY?

YEAH...YEAH, IT IS.

I KNOW WHAT MOM WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS.

WHAT'S THAT?

SHE WANTS TO FIND THAT BABY.

I TOLD YOU, IT'S LIKE

THIS EVERYWHERE; LET'S LEAVE HIM

SOMEWHERE THEN CALL THE COPS. OH PLEASE,

SHUT UP, I'M THINKING... LOOK, TURN AROUND.

GO THAT WAY. HURRY UP.

HI, I'M SERGEANT McKINLEY. I LEFT YOU A MESSAGE.

LOOK I'M ON MY WAY HOME,

IF YOU DON'T MIND, MY FAMILY'S WAITING.

THIS WON'T TAKE A SECOND, SIR.

DO YOU KNOW A MARGARET WELMER?

YEAH, SHE WAS A PATIENT OF MINE.

IS THAT HER THERE?

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO TELL.

YEAH, IT'S A VIDEO BLOW UP...

A LIFE MAY BE AT RISK.

A NEWBORN BABY WAS KIDNAPPED THIS MORNING.

WHAT'S MARY GOT TO DO WITH THAT?

MARY? I THOUGHT HER NAME WAS MARGARET.

SHE PREFERRED MARY.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS?

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN MONTHS.

SINCE THE MISCARRIAGE?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

HOW DID SHE

REACT TO THE MISCARRIAGE?

I'M NOT A PSYCHIATRIST.

AW, JEEZ,

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BABY. CAN YOU HELP US OUT?

[ P.A. ]: DR. WINSLOW TO E.R., DR. WINSLOW TO THE E.R.

SHE WAS DEVASTATED.

I RECOMMENDED SHE SEE A THERAPIST,

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF SHE DID.

SHE STOPPED SEEING ME; I CALLED HER, BUT SHE'D MOVED,

THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

DO YOU KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS?

I NEVER MET HIM.

DO YOU HAVE A FILE ON HIM?

MY FILES ARE CONFIDENTIAL, YOU KNOW THAT.

IS THAT WHAT

YOU'RE GOING TO SAY IF THIS BABY DIES AND MARY IS RESPONSIBLE?

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

A SNOWY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.

SO THIS DARRYL, IT'S IN HIS NAME?

YEAH, IT'S IN HIS NAME, BUT HE DON'T PAY THE RENT.

WHO DOES?

HIS GIRLFRIEND, BUT HE SAYS GIRLFRIEND,

SHE SAYS THEY'RE MARRIED.

[ KNOCKING ]

OPEN IT.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT,

OR SOMETHING; I DON'T WANT TO GET SUED.

OPEN THE DOOR.

THEY HAVE A BABY?

SHE'S PREGNANT.UH-HUH.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THEM? TODAY.

DID YOU SEE A BABY?

NO.

THERE'S SOME FORMULA IN THERE.

WHERE'S McKINLEY?

WHAT'S UP?

SHE WASN'T GOING TO RUN; SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE CHRISTMAS

HERE WITH HER NEW BABY, THEN SHE GOT SPOOKED.

I FOUND THESE ON THE BEDSIDE TABLE.

MARGARET WELMER, THAT'S HER.

LITHIUM. THEY'RE FULL. BAG IT.

THAT'S KIND OF LIKE PROZAC, ISN'T IT?

STRONGER. THEY'RE FOR BI-POLAR DISORDER.

WE SHOULD PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE.

NO, WE DON'T WANT TO SCARE THEM.

SHE'S ALREADY SCARED, THAT'S WHY SHE RAN.

WE SHOULD EXPAND THE SEARCH AND

CALL REGIONAL. WE KNOW THEY'RE IN TOWN SOMEWHERE.

WE DON'T; SHE WON'T BE WAITING FOR US TO FIND HER.

HOW THE HELL

DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT HER?

SHE'S A MANIC-DEPRESSIVE WHO PROBABLY STOPPED

TAKING HER MEDICATION -- WHAT IF SHE GOT THROUGH

THE ROADBLOCKS, SOMEHOW?

SHE COULD BE GETTING FARTHER AWAY EVERY MINUTE.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

CALL THE COMMAND CENTRE; THIS IS A CRIME SCENE,

YOU GOT IT?

YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.

GRAHAM, THAT'S IT!

[ CHOIR SINGING ]

IN THOSE DAYS,

A DECREE WENT OUT FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS

THAT ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE ENROLLED AND ALL WENT

TO BE ENROLLED, EACH TO HIS OWN CITY -- AND JOSEPH

ALSO WENT UP FROM GALILLEE, FROM THE CITY OF NAZARETH,

TO JUDEA, TO THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM.

BECAUSE HE WAS OF THE HOUSE AND LINEAGE OF DAVID,

TO BE ENROLLED WITH MARY, HIS BETROTHED,

WHO WAS WITH CHILD.

AND WHILE THEY WERE THERE,

THE TIME CAME FOR HER TO BE DELIVERED,

AND SHE GAVE BIRTH TO

HER FIRST BORN SON --

AND WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES,

AND LAID HIM...

AND THERE WERE, IN THE SAME COUNTRY, SHEPHERDS ABIDING

IN THE FIELDS, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCKS BY NIGHT.

AND LO...

MARY?

DON'T COME ANY CLOSER.

I'M JANE -- I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU,

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT PAUL.

HIS NAME IS JOSHUA.

THAT'S A NICE NAME.

IT'S THE HEBREW NAME FOR JESUS.

IF YOU COMENO.

ONE STEP CLOSER, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO THROW HIM OVER THE SIDE.

I'M SO FED UP RIGHT NOW,

I WILL DO IT, BELIEVE ME.

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT MARY, PLEASE.

IS THIS YOUR HOME?

THIS IS YOUR HOME, RIGHT?

OH, WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, RIGHT ON THE LAKE.

AND IT WAS ALWAYS FULL OF PEOPLE.

BUT THEY'RE ALL GONE NOW.

EVERYBODY HAS A FAMILY, I WANT ONE TOO.

AND CHILDREN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

EVERYBODY NEEDS FAMILY.

YOUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER LEAVE, THEY CAN'T.

BECAUSE YOU'RE THE WHOLE WORLD TO THEM.

NO, NO, NO...

[ CRYING ]

I WOULD NEVER HURT...

[ BABY COOING ]

I WOULD NEVER...

I WOULD NEVER HURT HIM.

I LOVE HIM.

[ BABY CRYING ]

HE'S OK.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY.

OH, SWEETIE.

HI, LITTLE GUY.

AHH...JANE...JANE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M GONNA TAKE THIS GUY WITH ME FOR A MINUTE.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

IT'S OK, YOU CAN COME TOO, HE'S GOING TO BE FINE.

AREN'T YOU? YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

THANK YOU.

SURE.

WELL DONE SERGEANT.

THANK HIM, HE DID NICE WORK.

WELL, DONE.

DIDN'T I TELL YOU YOUR MAGIC WAND WAS GOING TO WORK?

KEPT HIM SAFE AND BROUGHT HIM HOME. YOU THINK SO?

I KNOW SO.

[ YAWNING ]

LET'S SEE, ZERO TWO HOURS,

FOUR MINUTES SERGEANT McKINLEY YAWNS.

DO YOU WANT TO JUST COME IN AND SAY HELLO.

YOU KNOW WITH ALL DUE RESPECT

YOUR HUSBAND'S NOT THE FIRST PERSON I WANT TO SEE RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT.

HEY, LISTEN, UH, THANKS,

FOR WHAT YOU SAID TO DOUGAN.

IT'S TRUE.

YOU USED YOUR HEAD AND YOUR HEART.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE UP... THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

HEY, UH...WHAT IF SHE'S SLEEPING?

WAKE HER UP.

HONEY?

MERRY CHRISTMAS, SERGEANT.

I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO BED WITHOUT ME.

YOU DID IT, BABE.

RON, I THOUGHT THAT BABY WAS DEAD.

HE WAS SO QUIET I COULDN'T EVEN LOOK.

THEN HE...HE OPENED UP HIS EYES AND LOOKED AT ME

LIKE HE WAS SAYING OK, WHO ARE YOU?

HOW COME YOU'RE NOT FEEDING ME?

IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL --

AND ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS YOU AND THE KIDS,

AND THAT I WASN'T HERE WITH YOU.

HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT ABOUT ME AND DOUGAN?

HA, HA... I'M SORRY, BABE.

IT'S JUST ME BEING SELFISH.

I JUST WANT MORE OF YOU.

YOU SHOULD HAVE MORE OF ME.

HMM...I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET.

LET ME DO IT, BRANDON. IT'S MY TURN...

COME ON.

BRING THIS GUY OVER HERE.

HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

SANTA!

AREN'T YOU A LITTLE LATE, SANTA?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO...

ARREST SANTA? HMM?

BESIDES, I WAS A LITTLE BUSY WITH THE NEW BABY LAST NIGHT

AND I FORGOT A FEW THINGS,

BUT MRS CLAUS, YOU KNOW HER,

SHE SAID, "SANTA, YOU HAVE TO GET"

"RIGHT OUT THERE AND FINISH."

SO, IS THERE A BRANDON McKINLEY HERE?

ME.

WELL, I GUESS

THIS WOULD BE FOR YOU.

A SCOOTER!

WITH A WHEELIE BAR!

AWESOME!

MOM?

OK.

YES!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
