Original subtitles

Helen. Helen.

Talk to me, just talk to me.

Mr. Mitchell, I think she's had enough for one day.

For God sake, Helen, it doesn't have to be this way.

You're the one who made it this way.

I am? None of this had to happen, it was you that...

You're the one who lied in there.

I didn't lie.

I'm trying to do what's best for my kids.

For your kids?

Mr. Mitchell, the case is closed.

Custody is settled.

- There's nothing more to discuss. - Get outta my way.

Haven't you done enough damage?

- Me? What about her? - It's over, all right?

It's over.

I was just gonna say,

I wish we would've both done better.

You've got some papers to sign.

Hey.

- Morning. - Morning.

Wow! Nice scar.

Thanks.

Professional or recreational?

A little of both.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

What happened?

There was an apartment fire in High Park.

Old building, so the thing went up in about five minutes.

People were jumping from their balconies.

It was a mess.

So I was bringing this kid down from the third floor,

and that's when the stairs collapsed.

Barely made it out myself.

The kid make it?

Nope.

Sorry.

What was the recreational part?

Hm. I got so pissed off that night,

threw back a few shots and jumped on my bike.

Harley didn't make it, I did.

You know, there's good plastic surgeons,

if you ever wanna get rid of that.

Team one, suit up. Suit up.

Gun call, business district,

2002 Bay Street.

Nah, it's a good reminder not to be an idiot.

Yeah, got four brothers for that.

This is a mistake. Please.

You're not listening to me!

There's nothing I can do, I swear to God!

I'm gonna give you...

one last chance!

I got it all, thanks.

Hey.

White male, late 30's.

Pulls a gun, forces another white male into the building.

Did you get a location inside?

They were seen in the atrium, but beyond that, no idea.

- Shots fired? - Not yet.

Uniforms cleared the first two floors,

but they don't have shields, so, they backed off

in case the guy went active.

All right, let's see what Spike's got.

Let's start talking before buddy takes it up a level.

Priority is on "who" and "where."

Bonus points for "why"?

Okay, guys, we've got 12 floors,

a dozen offices per floor.

Sam?

That's a lot of window, 360 degree exposure.

Can't pick a sniper perch without more intel.

All right, let's narrow it down.

Okay, I got the building's head of security.

His guys on these floors have reported no disturbances.

He's awaiting instructions.

Okay, tell him to lock down the elevators.

First priority is to immobilize and contain the threat.

Copy that.

He came up this way.

He starts yelling at the other guy who was just coming out.

Then he pulls a gun

and makes the other guy turn around and go back inside.

Do you know either of the men?

Well, I seen the guy he was pointing the gun at. The lawyer.

He's a lawyer?

I'm pretty sure he hangs out with the other lawyers from the building.

What was he yelling?

Something about his kids.

Somebody took his kids.

Okay, and you said it seemed like they knew each other?

Do you know where his office is?

Well, it's not on the first floor;

I got my office there. I know everybody.

Above that? I really don't have a clue, man.

I'm sorry.

Any idea what kind of weapon it was?

A handgun or a shotgun, rifle...?

A handgun.

I just saw a flash of silver?

I'm sorry, I don't know guns.

No-no, that's good, that helps.

Do you know the victim?

I don't know his name, but, yeah.

I think he has an office in the building.

Any idea which office?

Eddie.

Hostage may be a lawyer.

Okay, copy that, boss.

Spike, you got a tenant list?

Lawyers. We got plenty of lawyers.

Law firms from here to here,

and here and here.

Hey, guys, my witness says they seemed to know each other.

This is personal. Something about losing his kids.

So, he's stressed. He's just suffered a loss.

How stressed do you have to be to come after a lawyer?

So, what, the guy grabs the lawyer,

takes him to his own office?

Or he grabs the guy and takes him to the most convenient office.

All right, until we learn more,

we'll do it the hard way.

We start at the tenth floor, we work our way down.

Stealth entry.

Locate and evacuate any citizens at risk.

SRU. Come with me.

Clearing two friendly's.

Clear.

Find the subject and the hostage

without alerting them to our presence.

Clear.

Ninth floor, suites 901 to 910, clear.

Got it.

Where are my kids?!

Donald, you need to calm down.

Don't you patronize me, you son of a bitch.

I will not lose them.

I haven't come this far,

I haven't worked this hard just to walk away.

Now start talking!

This guy sees this other guy, like he's waiting for him,

then he gets out of his car. He almost knocks me down.

Which car?

Um... that one, right there.

Okay.

Clear.

Where are you, buddy?

Suite 601 to 610, clear.

Got it.

Subject's located.

Two males arguing.

Office of Adam Westfall, room 612.

Door facing the atrium,

southwest.

Adam Westfall. I'll track recent cases

and see what might have triggered this.

Let's keep 'em contained.

Adam Westfall.

Specializes in family law. Small office.

Amanda Martin, paralegal.

She could be in the office as well.

She could be at risk.

Wordy, get eyes in.

We may have a second citizen in there. A possible hostage.

Maybe somebody injured or hiding.

Copy that.

You know exactly what's going on.

Now that she's got 'em?

She takes 'em back to Ireland,

her parents help her out and I never see them again.

Well, that is not going to happen!

The subject's telling him now that she's got the kids,

she's taking them back to Ieland to her parents;

he'll never see them again.

Checked with the uniforms,

Amanda Martin's car is in her space in the garage.

A couple people saw her at work today.

Chances are she's inside.

She's a wild card. I don't like wild cards.

Maybe we get lucky and she's outside the building.

Boss, there's no way we can go in 'till we've located her.

Hey, Spike, the subject's car is registered to a Donald Mitchell.

Donald Mitchell...

Cross-ref with Adam Westfall and...

Oh, I get to say, bingo?

Please, don't say bingo.

Westfall was in court this morning

representing a Helen Mitchell in a custody case.

He loses custody, blames her lawyer.

Okay, see what you can find out about the case.

Get an address on the wife and send it to Jules.

Jules?

On my way.

Snake cam's good to go.

Let's figure out where to put it.

Spike, we need the schematic for Westfall's office?

Coming at you.

Two rooms.

My guess, she's in the closet.

If she's hiding, or even in there.

Well, we got uniforms checking the crowd for her.

You know, nobody's found her yet.

Can we get a cam into that closet?

If I go in through the outside wall.

It's concrete. Might take a while.

Fast is good.

Get eyes into the main office, then we'll focus on the closet.

Copy that.

Okay, quick and quiet.

Guys, as far as I can tell, Mitchell's a solid citizen.

No arrests, not even a speeding ticket.

What about the custody case?

Well, according to the clerk in family law,

it was a really nasty one.

And Donald lost the kids.

No, he won. He got full custody.

Say that again?

- He got custody? - Yeah.

His wife's stealing the kids.

So this isn't about revenge on a lawyer.

This is about a parental abduction.

2:14 p.m., armed hostage taking,

motivated by possible parental abduction.

So Mitchell gets full custody of the kids,

then goes after the wife's lawyer?

I don't get it.

Well, his means are extreme, but his purpose is rational.

I think it's time to go verbal. You got his cell number?

Yeah.

Call her. Call Helen.

No, I'm not leading her into a trap.

Do it! Make the call!

Speed dial?

Yeah, I knew you two were close.

She's a client.

I know what she's like.

Went straight to voicemail.

Have her call you.

Yeah.

- Donald Mitchell? - Yes.

My name's Sergeant Gregory Parker,

I'm with the Police Strategic Response Unit.

Police, right. How are you?

I'm doing okay. How are you doin'?

I'm fine, just fine.

Just taking care of something, since you couldn't help me out.

It's a little time-sensitive, so maybe I can get back to you.

Yeah, it sounds like you're under a little pressure here.

Yeah.

My wife stole my kids!

I called the school to tell 'em I'm gonna pick them up early,

they were gone.

They weren't at her place.

They were just gone!

Okay, well, maybe there's a reason?

She stole my kids!

And this son of a bitch helped her out.

He tells me where they are and this is over.

Let me help you, Donald.

I already called the police and they blew me off.

The guy says, "yeah, you know, whatever.

Why don't you just come down and fill in some forms?"

Okay, Donald, I'm sorry that they didn't listen to you,

but I can assure you...

She's on her way to the border as we speak,

she is taking them away...

Donald, I'm here to help you!

I need an answer now, and I am handling this!

Let's get a photo of Helen Mitchell,

put it out there, see if we can't track her down.

Okay, let's find out where his kids go to school.

If his story checks out,

we need photos of them for an immediate Amber Alert.

Let's put a call out to the border.

Sending out a photo of Helen Mitchell, now.

Jules, you get that?

Yeah, he think his wife abducted their kids.

Copy that.

Like they are gonna let him have the kids back after this.

Custody fights, they get pretty primal.

Right now he's all tunnel vision and...

short-term thinking.

Yeah, well, there's "primal," then there's "just plain crazy."

I do crazy-ass stuff to save other people's kids.

Makes sense to me.

What would you do?

- What do you mean? - You and Sophie split up?

This wouldn't happen.

Just say you and Sophie split up,

she wanted Clark, what would you do?

Just like I said.

What?

Wouldn't happen.

Soon as we get eyes, let's go in.

Unless I get him talking again.

Have you seen her or her kids today?

No, not today. What's going on?

Well, your neighbour's ex-husband

is involved in an armed incident downtown.

What?

We're doing everything we can to resolve this peacefully,

but we need the bigger picture.

- Can you help us? - Uh, yeah.

How well do you know the Mitchells?

Uh, I've known them for about six years.

They used to be really great together,

but the last few years

have been pretty stressed between them.

Helen. Serena.

Then last year they got divorced.

Good, good. You know, same old.

Workin' like a dog?

Yeah.

- So, are they ready? - Soon.

We said 4:30.

Yeah, we did. They'll be ready soon.

We had an understanding. The movie starts in 20 minutes.

Donald, no. You can't just walk right in like you still live here.

Liam! Alice!

They're not here.

- What? - You heard me.

Where are they?

They're at the store, they'll be back in 5 minutes.

You can't keep doing this.

You bring them late, we missed two visits this month.

I can't even say good night to them on the phone.

They were already asleep.

- Or so you say. - You think I'm lying?

No, I think I'm entitled to say good night to my kids three days a week!

I get to say good night to my kids on the phone three days a week!

- Don't yell at me! - Daddy!

Ugh...

Go see your daddy.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, come here.

Hey, Don, how're you doing?

Daddy!

Allie-Allie-Allie! Popcorn or nachos, huh?

Popcorn of nachos? Let's go, buddy.

- Bye, mom. - Have fun.

I mean, the real problem was Jason.

Who's Jason?

Uh, Jason Wallace, her boyfriend.

I don't know if I should...

- Are you her friend? - Yeah.

Well, Donald is threatening her lawyer with a gun.

I need the whole story right now.

Well, it was hard for Helen, coming to live here.

Away from her old life,

her parents, her friends.

How was she with Donald?

They used to be head over heels.

I mean, Donald proposed a month after they met,

that's how sure they were.

But she was so young, you know?

And she gave up her studies, her country, everything.

Was she isolated? Did he work a lot?

Oh, yeah, Donald was always at work,

talking about work, breaking promises for work.

It was hard.

She said, by the end, it was like living alone.

And then along comes Jason who appreciates her.

Yeah.

Ah, here she comes. Helen?

Helen Mitchell?

I'm Jules Callaghan with the SRU.

What's wrong?

We're trying to locate your children.

Locate them?

They're at school.

The school says that you have them.

I don't have them.

What are you saying?

What's happened to my kids?

I told you they're not here!

We just need to be sure.

Please, you've gotta find them.

Sarge, found Helen Mitchell.

She says she has no idea where the children are.

They're not in the house.

All right, get to the school. Let's find out exactly what happened.

Okay.

I'm gonna give you one last chance!

Got our first pair of eyes.

Working on the closet now, boss.

Copy that.

Okay, if the paralegal's there, she's hiding.

Don't think I won't hurt you. I will...

Wordy, when can we see into that closet?

Uh, three, four minutes.

Excellent. Two minutes, good.

Yeah, yeah, fast is good.

The thing is a silent drill is kinda slow.

I don't understand.

Mrs. Mitchell called.

You said a friend would be picking up the children.

That's impossible. I never called.

I'm so sorry.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

What's wrong with you?!

You can't just hand over my children to anybody?!

I mean don't you have rules?

Okay. Okay.

Do you have surveillance tapes?

Yes, hallways and entrances.

Great. I need to see those right away.

Of course.

Second eyes in, boss.

All right, there she is.

Guess we didn't get lucky.

Not today.

Can we get her out without alerting Donald?

Boss, there's no cover in the room,

we'd be seen. I don't know how he'd react.

We go in hard.

Okay.

Sam, window entry.

Leah, Wordy, through the door with me.

Wordy, you're on ram. Leah, you're on DD's.

I can do the window, Ed.

What's that?

I've got a lot of experience on that.

You know, burning buildings and all.

Excuse me?

Right, copy that. I'm on DD's.

Good.

Questions?

I'm on my way up.

Get into position.

Guess that was a mistake.

When you're the democratically elected team leader,

you get to make autocratic decisions.

- That one yours? - No, his.

Man.

Don't worry, you'll get your chance.

There.

Do you recognize him?

Oh my God, it's Jason.

Jason Wallace, your boyfriend?

Why would he take your kids without your permission?

I don't know.

Really, Helen?

We broke up a couple days ago.

He...

He took it pretty bad.

He kinda lost it. He has anger issues.

Would he be angry enough to hurt your kids?

I don't know.

He said I'd regret it.

Oh my God... You gotta find them.

We will.

Do you have any recent pictures of him?

Yes, I do.

- Here you go. - Okay.

These are great.

We're gonna get these out on the street, put out an Amber Alert.

I'm gonna have a police officer pick you up and take you home, okay?

No, I'm fine. I don't need a ride.

Helen, we need to keep in touch with you.

All right, I want you to wait here, okay?

They're gonna be here in a few minutes.

Okay.

We're gonna find them.

Sarge, we got Jason Wallace on tape picking up the kids.

So, Jason Wallace...

We got a couple of assaults on his record.

He got busted a couple of times for dealing pot.

And I got an address.

Let's dispatch uniforms to contain.

On my way.

Pick up Sam enroute, Jules.

It's one guy, sarge.

I can handle him myself.

He's a potentially violent man who's taken his ex-girlfriend's kids.

Sam's on entry,

he'll be done by the time you get here to pick him up.

Copy that.

Winnie, I'm sending you pictures and descriptions of Alice and Liam Mitchell,

they were last seen with Jason Wallace,

you already got his description.

Full Amber alert to all agencies.

We gotta find these kids fast.

Copy that.

For godsake, Donald, use your head.

Why the hell would I help Helen take your kids?

Because you spent the whole trial trying to take them.

The two of you. I was doing my job.

- What, by fabricating? - Lying?

There was no lying!

I worked myself ragged so she could have what she wanted.

All she wanted was a man

who had a little space in his life for her.

Yeah, I knew that!

I had just arranged to delegate half my workload.

I was coming home early with champagne,

with take-out to surprise her, to celebrate.

- So she found someone. - The kitchen...

- You made her pay, right? - And here she is...

- You'll say whatever it takes... - with this guy!

To make her out to be an unfit mother!

Team, they're escalating. Stand by.

And what about you, huh?

You made it sound like I hurt the kids.

I never touched them.

Nobody said you did.

No, you implied.

You, you suggested.

Sam, how long until a position?

30 seconds.

Boss, third party.

She's looking pretty nervous.

She's just fighting for a chance to have a life,

to make a choice of her own.

And there you are invoking "parental alienation,"

"malicious mom syndrome."

Well, what do you call it?

Don't like where this is headed.

Eddie, woman in the closet's about to make a move.

Copy that, standing by.

...agreed to the schedule!

Update, Sam.

Just setting the charge, boss.

Holding for you, Sam.

- She didn't realize... - Forget it, okay?

The only thing that matters now are my kids.

Where are they?! Huh?!

Stop! Hey, stop! Stop, you!

Damn it, stay there!

- Tell me where my kids are. - He didn't do anything.

Where are they!

Helen love those kids.

I love them, too. More than you could ever know.

Five seconds.

Ready for entry on my go.

Do not make me hurt you.

Stop!

Fast is good.

Three, two, one...

Go! Go-go-go-go!

Police! Right there! Right there!

Hands in the air! Hands in the air! Police!

Get your hands down, now!

No-no-no-no-no-no.

Let's take a walk.

You good?

I'll get you down to the paramedic.

Listen! Would you just listen?

You gotta stop her! You gotta do something.

Sir, the man you had at gunpoint...

He's hiding my wife and kids.

If they get out of the country, I'll never see them again.

Now why do you think he's involved?

Because the bastard did everything that he could

to take them from me.

He's a lawyer, that is his job.

It's more than that. It is way more than that.

It's something I heard him say at the pre-trial.

Please, Donald...

Don't take Liam and Alice away from me.

They're all I've got.

No, you've got someone else.

Why is it always about him?

Because I loved you, Helen.

We could've all stayed together, but you made your choice.

Fine. I'll leave him, today.

Anything, please. Just stop this, okay?

I can't trust you anymore.

If you're willing to break up with Jason,

maybe we can still work something out?

Anything.

I'll do anything.

I'd even get back together with Donald.

Really?

I'd rather be buried alive,

but to keep my kids...

Anything.

Don't worry. Whatever it takes,

we won't let you lose them.

Whatever it takes, all right?

Thank you.

I was just about to say maybe we can work this out,

then I heard her say that.

What'd I even do to make her hate me so much?

I didn't even think about it 'til later...

"Whatever it takes," she wouldn't lose the kids.

And that's what he did,

anything it took.

He helped her take them.

He knows where they're going right now.

Okay, Donald, we talked to your wife

and there's no indication that she's got the children with her.

Then who picked them up from school?

Jason Wallace.

Jason?

Took them on his own?

We don't have the answer to that.

Oh my God.

You gotta get 'em back!

You gotta get 'em back.

Boss, we have a situation.

Uniforms report Jason Wallace wasn't at home.

Neighbours saw him leave.

What about the kids?

Unconfirmed, but, uh, we found juice boxes.

Could be his.

Spotty leopard jungle nectar?

Well, they were there. Where are they now?

We just did a credit card check.

He checked into the Royal York about ten minutes ago.

Okay, good work. Keep me posted.

Did you promise Helen Mitchell that she would get her children back

no matter what it takes?

I tell my clients what they need to hear to build their confidence.

But I never make misleading promises.

And you didn't have any backup plan?

Like facilitating an abduction along with her boyfriend?

And break the law, risk my career?

There's plenty of times I'd like to;

I got kids of my own.

How about you, Amanda? You got kids?

Yeah.

You're not sure?

Yes, I have three children.

- Police! SRU! - Police! Don't move!

Hands in the air! Hands in the air!

Stop!

Ungh!

Where are they?

Where are Helen's kids?

I don't know! I swear, I don't know!

You're lying.

I'm telling you, I haven't seen those kids in weeks.

Jason, the school has video surveillance.

You were caught on tape 2 hours ago with the children.

I wanna speak to a lawyer.

No, you wanna speak to us.

Okay, this is kidnapping and you have a record.

If we don't find those kids, things won't look too good for you.

I've got nothing to say.

Sarge, we've got Jason Wallace.

No kids at the hotel and this guy is not talking.

Keep trying.

Sorry about that.

So two girls, boy.

They live with you?

They live with their father?

Boss, I just got off the phone with the uniform

we sent to the kids' school to take Helen home?

Yeah, Spike.

She was gone when he got there, and she's not at her house either.

So, Helen isn't at the school, she isn't at home,

this is interesting.

Where would she go next?

She's got an older sister, Colleen. I got her address.

Sister, Colleen.

Leah?

I want you to go to the house, see what the sister knows.

Copy that.

Amanda?

Anything we should know here?

So, why're you being so loyal to an ex-girlfriend?

What do you mean?

Well, she said that you guys broke up two days ago.

No, that's not true.

Apparently, she was willing to leave you

if it meant she could hang on to the kids.

Where'd you get that?

According to Donald.

Yeah, he wishes.

Yeah, well, when Helen saw the surveillance tapes, she freaked

and she made you out to be a dangerous, angry guy

who would take it out on those kids.

She said what she had to say.

Why would she lie?

Because she loves those kids.

She needed time.

How long you been working custody cases, Amanda?

A long time. 18 years.

Must feel good when you win.

What feels good is working out a settlement.

Letting both parents see the kids.

Mr. Westfall always tries to do that.

But that didn't happen this time.

Donald was so... bitter and angry,

he just wouldn't listen to reason.

How even-keeled was Helen?

She adored those kids.

Every mother loves her kids, but they were everything.

She gave up everything for them.

She raised them practically alone.

Every minute of hers was theirs.

It just wasn't fair.

It hurts to lose doesn't it?

I have a question to ask you.

As you know,

things will go a lot better for you if you tell the truth.

She deserves better than to be a housekeeper for some guy who...

comes home late every night, expecting dinner on the table.

He wouldn't even talk to her.

Okay, let's stick to the point, Jason,

we're not here because you had affair.

She loves to go dancing, she deserves to...

just be able to kick back and enjoy something for once.

Okay, we get it, you love her.

But do you really want to go to jail for this?

Because that's what will happen

if we do not find those children.

I dropped them off with her sister.

Helen didn't want the kids at her house in case Donald came there.

Sarge, confirming that the children were dropped off at the sister's.

Thanks, Jules.

You knew things weren't gonna go her way,

so you helped her with plan B.

Amanda...

I helped her forge a letter of parental consent.

You need one to cross the border.

I used signatures from Donald.

She deserved them.

She deserved them.

I didn't say she didn't.

Colleen Lester?

I'm Leah Kerns, SRU.

I'm looking for your sister Helen.

Is something wrong?

Her children are missing.

But that's impossible.

They were with me. She just picked 'em up.

You musta just missed her.

Helen and the kids just left, they can't be far.

I see her and she's got the kids.

She's travelling north to Spadina.

Alpha 2 Julia Leema 271.

I'm in pursuit.

Okay, we're on our way.

Keep a distance, not provoke her.

- Let's move. - Talk me with you.

I want to make sure they're all right.

It's a little late in the game for that, Donald.

Oh, boss, come on, you're not gonna take him?

Stressful situation for the kids.

It might be good to have the other parent there.

Come on, if it was your boy, what would you want?!

You talking about my boy or your boy?

Follow us.

Boss, the car Helen's driving is registered to Jason Wallace.

Copy.

You didn't tell us that you lent Helen you car.

You didn't ask.

Is there anything else you didn't tell us?

If you find Helen, don't hurt her, please.

Why would we hurt her?

There's a gun in the car.

Awesome.

Mom, are you gonna answer the phone?

It's just a wrong number.

Can we play the beetle game, mommy?

Okay, I'm the only beetle in the world

that can flip from its back to its feet in one move.

The click beetle!

The click beetle!

Yay!

Okay, I'm the one with the big antlers like a moose.

The stag beetle.

Uh-oh, mommy, I spilled.

Hold on...

It's okay.

I'm the one that eats poop.

Dung beetle!

Yay!

Still following.

Looks like she's heading out of town.

We're right behind you.

Mom, the phone keeps ringing.

She's still not picking up.

All right, we gotta make a move.

What're you thinking?

There's kids on board, we gotta take it easy.

We can't use road spikes, we can't ram 'em.

We gotta do a rolling roadblock.

Eddie, she's got a weapon in the car,

she's driving under stress, she's volatile.

We start crowding her...

She's not talking, boss.

It's time to make a move.

Spike! Spike!

The make of car,

any chance she's got one of those onboard

emergency communications systems?

Checking, checking.

Do I get to say bingo?

Only if it's a "yes."

Bingo.

Awesome.

Let's make this happen.

What about the one that can fly, crawl and swim?

Mommy, where are we going?

Remember how you guys said

you'd really, really love to see Ireland?

Yay!

Yeah, so, we're gonna drive a little bit and then...

We're gonna get on a big airplane.

Helen Mitchell?

Hi, my name's Gregory Parker.

I was trying to reach you on your cell.

Can you hear me all right?

Hi, Liam. Hi, Alice.

You guys doing okay?

We're fine. They're fine.

It's kinda funny, huh?

A voice coming out of the car.

It's actually a security feature,

in case people need help,

and I'm a policeman.

We're going to Ireland!

You are?

It's so beautiful there, it's so beautiful there.

Helen, do you think you can pull over

so we can talk a little?

No. Leave us alone.

Helen.

Helen, I'm just thinking of everybody's safety here.

You think you can slow it down?

Mom, I'm scared.

All right, Eddie, let's go for the rolling roadblock.

Jules, move in front;

Leah, get beside her; I'll take the rear.

Copy that.

Uniforms are now diverting traffic.

Copy that.

Mommy?

It's okay.

But there's police cars.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Helen, it's Greg again.

I just want you to know what we're doing,

so you guys aren't worried, all right?

Everything's okay.

These cars are just gonna help you slow down safely.

Nobody's in trouble, all right?

Jules, I'm closing on 15 feet. Start decelerating.

It's okay.

Let's tighten it up.

Decelerate.

- Hi, Helen. - Get out, get out.

Stay away from us.

I'm Greg. Hi.

It's okay.

Hi, Liam. Hi, Alice.

How are you guys?

I'm the man who was talking to your mom in the car earlier.

Boss, you need a shield.

Mommy, what are doing? Why do you have a gun?

How're you guys doing?

I'm scared, mommy.

Boss, wait for the shield.

She thinks the system's against her, Ed.

She needs to see some trust,

and I know you got my back.

Greg.

I'm good, Eddie. I'm good.

That gun comes up...

Have to take the shot.

Nobody's gonna hurt you. I won't let anybody hurt you.

Helen.

Look at me, Helen. Look at me.

I'm gonna put this down, okay?

So we can talk.

Boss, you don't wanna do that.

Think you do the same for me? Please?

No.

What does she think she's gonna do?

She's not thinking, that's the problem.

How do you reach a person who's gone primal mother-bear?

Through her cubs.

It's okay.

You can...

Just... Just try to keep it down,

how's that?

Hey, guys.

I know your mom loves you more than anything.

You know how I know that?

Because of everything she's done today.

She's a smart lady.

I'll bet you she's taught you to never talk to strangers.

You're not a stranger,

you're a policeman.

Yeah, that's right, I am.

Just let us go. Let us through.

I could do that, I guess.

I'm not really sure where things go after that though, so...

You probably won't get through the border.

Even with those documents that Amanda made for you.

The airport then.

Your mom's told you a lot about Ireland, huh?

I've been there once.

You know what they say about Ireland?

It's true, it's really, really green.

And your mom wants to take you there

because she wants you guys to be able to stay together.

Right?

They need me!

I know.

But let's say you guys got on that plane today.

You'll never be able to come back.

You know that, right?

Mom, what about daddy?

It's not right.

He lied to them.

He told them I was malicious,

unfit,

irresponsible!

You're sure it wasn't just his lawyer doing his job?

I mean the way he talks about you?

I'm not convinced he believed it himself.

- But then why... - 'Cause he loves you.

And when he lost you,

he got angry and he... felt helpless.

And no one wants to feel that way,

no one wants to have their kids taken away from them.

People go to extremes for something they love, right, Helen?

Yeah.

Eddie, let's get the dad out.

Let 'em see him...

I hear you.

It's okay, kids.

It's all right, no ones gonna hurt you.

No ones gonna hurt your mom. It's gonna be okay.

I promise, it's all gonna be okay.

Daddy! Daddy!

No, wait!

Helen, listen to me.

You haven't hurt anyone, you haven't threatened anyone,

and that's good.

It means you will be with your kids again sooner rather than later.

But if you raise that gun right now, everything changes.

So, please,

please just put the gun down.

Don't you dare.

Don't make me go there.

Donald?

What happened? What've you done?

I thought I was losing the kids...

Losing you.

What have we done?

Thank you, Helen.

What have we done?

It's okay.

Okay, that's great. Thank you.

They'll be able to stay with her sister, Colleen.

When kids are involved, it's hard to see straight.

It affects your judgment.

Yeah.

Yeah, I hope like hell they get a second chance.

I'm talking about you here, Greg.

What're you saying?

You were thinking about your kid out there?

My choices were appropriate.

Your choices were dangerous.

You know what, Eddie?

All the calls have an element of risk.

You want me to watch your back?

Boss, this is me watching your back.

I'm just saying.
