00:00And sometimes she even falls asleep on my pillow.
00:08Oh, he's a number 37 not to get a dog.
00:12What? It's cute.
00:13I already told Luke no.
00:15Lots are dangerous.
00:19The practice for the K-word.
00:21Cats?
00:23Kids.
00:24Mortgage.
00:25A minivan.
00:26Sex.
00:27Once a month.
00:28Are you talking to someone about these commitment issues?
00:31You can't even commit to a date.
00:33Because she'd rather be here with sexy old me.
00:35What do you got?
00:36Death amidst the jacarandas.
00:38Neighbor heard a gunshot about midnight and called it in.
00:42Was the shot preceded by, say, shouting or the sounds of a struggle?
00:47Well, only the lonesome call of the Whippoorwill.
00:50You were at the opera again tonight, weren't you?
00:53Gets in these moods.
00:55Dude, somebody meant business.
00:57Well, we can gather it wasn't a carjacking.
01:01That's his car.
01:02God, he's young.
01:03Yeah, 21.
01:04Already married.
01:05Ethan Williams.
01:06His driver's license says he lived half a mile up the road.
01:08Security guard at Pacific Modern Art Gallery carried a gun.
01:10All the good it did him.
01:11Employer probably gave him a weapon.
01:12Didn't bother to train him how to use it.
01:13The killer disarmed him and took the gun with him.
01:14Smart.
01:15Think he was shot with his own gun?
01:16Well, we won't know until we find out what kind of gun he had on him.
01:17Retrieve bullet.
01:18Analyze bullet check.
01:19Are those blood stains on that scarf?
01:20Yeah.
01:21I was going to run by the lab and see if the blood belonged to the victim.
01:22Or killers.
01:23What are we thinking?
01:24Ethan came here to meet somebody?
01:25Got ambushed?
01:26Well, he was followed.
01:27Maybe he got out of his car to confront he was following him.
01:28Pulled his gun.
01:29Things went south from there.
01:30There was a scuffle.
01:31Killer lost his scarf.
01:32Maybe he was wounded.
01:33Ethan got a clean shot to the forehead.
01:34Hey.
01:35Okay.
01:36I'll be right back.
01:55Okay, we know nothing fit to print so don't bother asking.
01:58I wasn't going to ask.
02:04to ask. I was going to offer information. Well, in that case, offer away. This park used to be
02:08totally evil drug dealer infested. Then there was this whole save the park campaign and then
02:13got cleaned up. I know. Who do you think did the cleaning? Oh, right. The police. Do you think the
02:19dealers came back? Could be another one of our 10 possible theories. Maybe his cell records will
02:24shed a little light. I'll get rolling on a subpoena. Looks like another all-nighter in the
02:28park. I love my job. I'll see you back at the hall. I've got to go notify a very young
02:32widow. Yes? Good evening. I'm Inspector Boxer. This is Inspector Jacoby. We're looking for
02:43Ethan Williams' wife. Beth? She's with Ethan. They went out for a walk when he came home
02:49from work. We're Ethan's parents. Is everything okay? I'm very sorry to tell you, uh, your son
02:57was found dead. He was shot and killed. What about Beth? Where is she? Oh, my God. The baby.
03:09They had a baby with him? Beth is nine months pregnant.
03:27I found a scar for the crime scene. Ethan's parents said that Beth was wearing one when they
03:41left. Had blood on it. Searched the whole park? There was no body. It looks like an abduction. The
03:48car was abandoned, and we found Beth's purse in her bedroom with 200 bucks of credit cards in sight.
03:53So, she didn't take off on her own. Whoever killed him? Most likely took Beth. And there's only one
03:59reason people are gonna abduct a woman who's nine months pregnant. Somebody wants a baby.
04:05Beth Williams, white female, 20 years old. We believe she was taken from Harthorn Park at
04:11approximately 11 p.m. Now, until we find her and her baby, they are all you care about.
04:18Baker, Martinez, I want you guys to hit the art gallery where Best Husband works.
04:21You guys work the neighbors. See if there was anybody suspicious hanging around Beth or Ethan in
04:25the last few days. Miller, re-canvass the park area, and you look for video cameras in a 10-block
04:30radius. Now, this girl is sticking out to here. She'll be hard to miss. Inspector Boxer's gonna be in
04:35the thick of things, so I'm Command Central. Everybody gets OT'd tonight. Let's find her.
04:42Contact the girl's parents.
04:44We're both dead. She moved here out of high school outside of her in-laws. She's got nobody.
04:49She's probably why she was in such a hurry to start a family of her own. At least she's young,
04:52white, and pretty. The media will help us.
04:57What was that? What?
05:00That.
05:05Yeah, you're getting married.
05:07Soon.
05:09You knew that.
05:10You know, I like the iron invitations better. They're less fancy.
05:22Gee, thanks.
05:25Make sure you notify all the divisions.
05:26Our place is kind of small, so Ethan and Beth can drive to the park to take a walk.
05:40You know, get... get some privacy.
05:43Is it possible they were buying drugs?
05:46No.
05:47How can you even ask me that?
05:49Have you seen anyone unfamiliar hanging around the neighborhood lately?
05:55Had either of them made any new friends?
05:57I don't think so. I mean, Ethan was always out working, you know, at the art gallery, at the mall.
06:04You know, they were trying to save up for their own place.
06:06How about Beth? Was she working?
06:08Doctor told her to take it easy. She had some bleeding early on.
06:13But she wants to go to college after the baby is born.
06:17Maybe be a nurse.
06:19Was Beth already pregnant when they got married?
06:21They were married almost a year when that happened.
06:25It wasn't planned.
06:27But they got used to the idea real quick.
06:30They were so excited about their little baby girl.
06:36Find Beth.
06:38And my granddaughter.
06:41Please.
06:43Just find them.
06:52How's he doing?
06:54Well, it's a hell of a thing to lose a kid.
06:58You tell him to go home and try to get some sleep.
07:01You should grab a couple hours yourself.
07:03This thing could drag on.
07:05Yeah, maybe later.
07:07Well, I'll go make the coffee.
07:09Ethan called a bunch of discount stores looking for a good deal on a crib.
07:14Okay, what's this call at 10 o'clock last night?
07:16Somebody named Consuelo.
07:17I left four messages.
07:18She hasn't called me back.
07:20Well, I need more than that.
07:21I need a full name.
07:22I need an address.
07:23Yeah, phone company couldn't get us complete records till start a business.
07:26They're on their way over.
07:27Meantime, I'm doing the best I can.
07:29I'm sorry.
07:33This is so not your job.
07:35Hey, it's an all-hands-on-deck situation.
07:39Why don't Jacoby find out?
07:40Well, everyone at the gallery seems to think that Ethan walked on water.
07:43I'm sure Jacoby will hear the same story at the mall.
07:45Yeah, people have such nice things to say about a dead man.
07:49Yeah, maybe this time it's actually true.
07:51Yeah, what else you got?
07:52Was anything useful?
07:55Okay, thanks for calling.
07:57Set up a hotline at the register website.
07:58Got about 40 calls so far.
07:59Let me guess.
08:00Beth is abducted by aliens.
08:01I don't know that or Arab terrorists.
08:03The crazies can't decide.
08:09Perfect timing.
08:15Here's a bullet.
08:17How can you have such a gross job and still be more emotionally stable than the rest of us?
08:21Speak for yourself.
08:22What's that, a 38?
08:23I'm betting it matches a 38 his company issued him a few months ago.
08:26Are you sure you get it tested?
08:28Yeah, always do.
08:30The preliminary tox screen came back.
08:34My boy's clean.
08:36He would have made a good popper.
08:38You didn't check for alcohol.
08:40Page three, he was sober.
08:42Somebody's snippish today.
08:43Did you check under the nails for DNA?
08:44Already at the lab.
08:45I put a rush on it.
08:48How could anybody want a baby so badly they'd kill for it?
08:51God, you're young.
08:53Hey, I'm with her.
08:54Midnight feedings and babysitters or clubbing with my girls and noisy sex with my boyfriend.
08:59When's the last time we went clubbing?
09:01We could.
09:02You do realize that if you don't have kids, you'll have to grow old without a lifetime supply
09:07of funky homemade ceramic pencil holders.
09:09You love those pencil holders.
09:11More than life itself.
09:12What about you?
09:14You want a little boxer baby?
09:16I just want to find theirs.
09:18We were married and in love, the first baby on the way.
09:22The whole life is in front of them.
09:23Ethan was pretty nervous about the baby.
09:28Poor guy.
09:30Really hadn't the fingernails left.
09:32Shoot him to the quick.
09:33But he was way into the dad thing.
09:38They're Lamont's teacher's business card.
09:40It's pretty worn around the edges.
09:41Looks like it's been in and out of his wallet a lot.
09:44Consuelo Sanchez.
09:45It's 10 p.m. fun call.
09:46Do they have a mom's glasses when you were having kids?
09:57I have to ask my ex-wife.
09:59Which wife?
09:59One, two, or three?
10:01I forget.
10:02What I do remember is working overtime for five years to pay for all those diapers.
10:07But you were a good father.
10:08I was a cop.
10:10So, you think the kidnapper's planning to keep this baby for himself, or has he planned to sell it?
10:14I don't know.
10:16I just hope he waits for Beth to go to the labor before cutting her open.
10:20Hi, we're looking for Consuelo Sanchez.
10:23We were a real sweet couple.
10:25Ethan would take off work so we didn't miss any classes.
10:28Why did they call you last night?
10:30Oh, Beth was having Braxton Hicks contractions.
10:33I said, take a walk.
10:36Oh, God.
10:37If they hadn't gone for that walk, this never would have happened.
10:40It's not your fault.
10:41But we do need to know where you were last night.
10:43I was at my cousin's.
10:46I can give you her number.
10:48It's like there's a black cloud over my class.
10:52Last week, one of my girls gave birth to a stillborn.
10:55She was nearly full term.
10:57Did she know Beth?
10:59They always sat together.
11:00What was her name?
11:02I don't think she's up for talking to the cops right now.
11:05Tell me her name.
11:08Melanie Topper.
11:10She was going to be a single mom.
11:11Melanie Topper?
11:26What is that sound?
11:30Melanie?
11:31San Francisco Police Department.
11:32We need to talk to you.
11:34Come in.
11:35Come in.
11:35Come in.
11:37What do you want?
11:54Is there a baby here?
11:58I don't have a baby.
12:00My baby died.
12:02I'm very sorry.
12:03Do you mind if we look around?
12:11I still have milk.
12:15When I feel better, I'm going to take you to the hospital for the sick babies.
12:19Shouldn't go to waste.
12:20I have 15 bottles in the freezer.
12:27Melanie.
12:30We're investigating the disappearance of Beth Williams and the murder of Ethan Williams.
12:38Oh.
12:39Do you know anyone who could have hurt them?
12:41Well, the TV said Beth was kidnapped by somebody who wanted her baby.
12:45Your Lamaze teacher said that you and Beth were good friends.
12:50She was, uh, she was pretty lonely.
12:53Why do you say that?
12:55She was cooped up with Ethan and his parents.
13:01And then he found out about her boyfriend.
13:04Beth had a boyfriend?
13:06What was his name?
13:08I don't know.
13:09I met her after they split.
13:10You don't think that he was the one that...
13:15Melanie.
13:16Can you remember anything she told you about him?
13:20This is very important.
13:22I'm trying.
13:24I think she said that he was...
13:26He was from San Ramon.
13:30Such a stupid thing to remember.
13:32It's fine.
13:34Can you remember anything else?
13:35She said that he was handsome.
13:38And exciting.
13:39Being a lot more fun than Ethan at first.
13:44But then she got pregnant.
13:47And did an amnio and found out that it wasn't his.
13:49And he started screaming at her for sleeping with her husband.
13:54She said it was the first and the last time he ever hit her.
14:01Oh.
14:05Excuse me.
14:05Yeah.
14:09Hey.
14:11The blood work on Bascarff came back.
14:13It's placental blood mixed with amniotic fluid.
14:16Okay, thanks.
14:20Bascarff's water broke at the crime scene.
14:23That was 11 hours ago.
14:25She's still alive.
14:26She's in labor.
14:27Now.
14:27Now.
14:28Her husband works two jobs, goes to Lamaze classes, and she goes cheating on him.
14:45She got married too young.
14:49She never had on strike.
14:52One day she's in a safe.
14:54Next day she's in a sexy.
14:55She sees her whole life all mapped out for her, and besides, she doesn't like it.
15:00It's, I don't know, a perfect couple award after all.
15:02Well, just once before I die, I would like to see a marriage that really was what I thought
15:08it was.
15:09You know, my first child, I was only in labor six hours.
15:13That baby could be out in the world already.
15:17I'm not gonna accept that as a possibility.
15:19Why?
15:20Because if the baby's been born, there's a chance we're not looking for Beth anymore.
15:23We're looking for her corpse.
15:25As long as Beth is in labor, she's probably safe.
15:27You know, why risk cutting the baby out of her when it's already coming out the natural way?
15:30There is another possibility.
15:32Beth and Romeo got back together.
15:34They whack hubby and ride off into the sunset?
15:37With hubby's baby, I can't see boyfriend raising another man's child.
15:42So who is this Prince Charming?
15:43She didn't meet him on the job.
15:45She didn't have one.
15:46There are other places to meet men.
15:47Yeah, the hotline got a couple of calls that Beth shopped at the market on 7th and Walnut.
15:51A prime hookup spot.
15:53Do you know how many of those hotline tips actually lead somewhere real?
15:57And yet, I am checking out each and every one of them that don't involve Martians or O.J. Simpson.
16:03I'm gonna schedule another press conference, keep Beth's face out there.
16:08I'm gonna go torture the in-laws some more.
16:12Something is up with her.
16:18Is something up with her?
16:19Baby cases.
16:20Cops hate baby cases.
16:21Baby cases.
16:21Baby cases.
16:21Baby cases.
16:27Yeah, that's right.
16:32Press conference is set for half an hour.
16:35There's a couple more pictures you can use.
16:36Let me know if you need anything else.
16:38How's she doing?
16:40With everything.
16:43I worry about her.
16:45She doesn't want to be worried about.
16:47Yeah, I know, but...
16:49Why'd you take this job?
16:52It's a big step up for me.
16:53You had other opportunities.
16:55Better ones.
16:57I hear you could have gone and worked for the chief.
16:59I wanted to work homicide.
17:01You wanted an excuse to be near her again.
17:04I am marrying Heather.
17:10If you say so.
17:18I can't believe Beth had an affair.
17:21How could she do that to her son?
17:23Belief to know about it?
17:24We believe so.
17:26He never said anything to either of you.
17:28He always protected us from the bad stuff.
17:31When he was a boy, he didn't go to the hospital till his appendix almost burst.
17:36He didn't want to complain about the pain.
17:39Tex found this in the trash can and put it back together.
17:42To Beth Williams, return address Sam Johannes.
17:45I remember that.
17:47You hardly ever get handwritten letters these days.
17:50I asked Beth who it was from.
17:52She said an old friend.
17:54You think that's the guy?
17:56If he hurts my granddaughter, I'll make that son of a bitch pay.
18:01No.
18:02I will.
18:02According to Jill, Sam did three years for almost killing a guy with a pull cube.
18:12Any chances from Sam Ramon?
18:14He won everything.
18:15So Beth is one of those girls who wants to marry Mr. Clean but likes doing the nasty with the nasty boys.
18:20The story of my life.
18:22Are you, clean or nasty?
18:25Sam Johannes.
18:26Where is he?
18:27Hey, hey, hey, hey.
18:37Merry Christmas.
18:38Nice.
18:42Willie!
18:48Sam Johannes?
18:50What?
18:51You Sam Johannes?
19:04Where is Beth Williams?
19:06I don't know who you're talking about.
19:12Your girlfriend.
19:13Where is she?
19:18Where's the baby?
19:19I need to talk to my lawyer.
19:30He could be holding Beth prisoner somewhere.
19:33We got to talk to this slimeball's co-workers.
19:34I got people on it.
19:35And get in touch with his wife.
19:36Baker has people on that.
19:38Get him some help.
19:38Go through his credit cards.
19:40Who's this?
19:40His lawyer?
19:41Lindsay, I need you to take it easy, okay?
19:43We are no longer married.
19:45You're not allowed to give me inane advice.
19:47Sure I can.
19:48I'm your boss.
19:49You have to understand, my client got screwed by the cops once before.
19:56We have a missing girl whose water broke at least 14 hours ago.
19:59I can assure you, Sam had nothing to do with it.
20:01How do you know, Beth?
20:04Last time I talked to you people, I got three years in San Q.
20:07How long were you sleeping with her?
20:09That wasn't the nature of their association.
20:11What were they doing?
20:12Playing Parcheesi?
20:13If this baby dies while you're jerking me around, I will make San Q look like Club Med.
20:17Maybe I don't have to hold this guy.
20:19Sure.
20:20Except for that whole probable cause thing.
20:24Inspector Jacobi?
20:25Sam's wife thought you'd come.
20:30Ma'am, why don't we go back to my desk?
20:34Beth Williams was not my husband's girlfriend.
20:36Then who was she?
20:40You wanted to adopt Beth's baby.
20:43Before we go any further, we need assurances that...
20:45We met her on an internet adoption site.
20:51It's kind of an informal place where pregnant women can connect with people who want to become parents.
20:57Beth didn't have a computer.
20:58She used the one at the library.
21:01We've been trying for years to adopt or even be foster parents, but...
21:06When you have a felony on your record, no one wants you.
21:09Even if you've got ten years sober and you've completely turned your life around.
21:12Did Ethan know that Beth wanted to give up the baby?
21:16Yeah.
21:17We met the both of them over coffee.
21:19They were getting divorced.
21:21I don't think either one of them wanted to become a single parent.
21:24Why'd you choose you?
21:25She said she liked my emails.
21:28And you offered them money too, right?
21:29How much?
21:30Don't answer that.
21:31And that's why you weren't talking?
21:33Because baby buying is illegal?
21:34It was only $15,000 and it was to cover maternity expenses.
21:39Totally legal.
21:40Depends on the contract.
21:41Which you sent Beth.
21:42In the mail.
21:43And she eyed us yesterday that she'd signed it.
21:45And that Ethan would too as soon as he got home.
21:47Pretend you never heard from her again.
21:49Maybe you did.
21:50Maybe Beth told you that they had changed their minds and you weren't getting the baby after all.
21:53See, what'd I tell you about cops?
21:55Is my client under arrest?
22:03It would be better for you.
22:04Let's get the hell out of here.
22:06Come on.
22:08Come on.
22:09Good luck.
22:17Sachiko, is there anything else you could...
22:20Come on.
22:24Dale Peterson.
22:25Beth and I were IMing one day and she said she had a boyfriend named Dale Peterson.
22:30Dale Peterson from San Ramon.
22:39I'll start hunting him down.
22:40Meanwhile, I'm gonna need...
22:41Computer hard drives from Beth's local library.
22:43He'll drop a subpoena and track down our resident cake.
22:45Here we go.
22:58Somebody at the library logged into pacificbaby.net.
23:02Talk about creepy.
23:04Any old pervert could log on here and say he's an adoptive couple.
23:07Find some vulnerable pregnant woman and invite her to some...
23:10Who knows?
23:11This job is bad for my head.
23:13Hey, Sam Johannis chatted with BW20.
23:18Beth Williams, 20 years old.
23:19This is from 930 last night.
23:22BW20 says we'll bring you the contract first thing tomorrow.
23:25I can't tell you how happy this makes us.
23:28So Sam the man and Sachikoiko were telling the truth.
23:31Wait a minute.
23:32Why didn't Beth tell her good friend Melanie that she's putting her baby up for adoption?
23:38Jill Bernhardt.
23:38She probably felt weird about giving up the baby when Melanie had just lost hers.
23:42You know, felt in the wound.
23:44Wait a minute.
23:45Is there anything from, what's his name, Dale Peterson?
23:47Uh, not yet.
23:49Got it.
23:50Got to move.
23:52What is that?
23:52That was Lindsay.
23:54Dale Peterson is not from San Ramon.
23:56He lives on the San Ramon.
23:58It's a boat.
23:58I have about five minutes to push through a search warrant.
24:07This place is certainly a step up from her in-laws.
24:09Yeah, if she meets an adventurer who lives on the high seas,
24:12I'd run away with him, too.
24:18Dale Peterson?
24:24San Francisco PD, we have a warrant.
24:26Smell that?
24:34Yeah, bleach.
24:50She's going to be cleaning.
24:52Not a very good job.
24:53Mm-mm.
24:56Lindsay, we've got a knife.
25:11You think we're looking at another homicide?
25:15I think either way, Beth had her baby.
25:17Still no leads on Dale Peterson.
25:31No permanent place of employment.
25:34What do you think he did with Beth after?
25:35You're sending down dollars just in case.
25:39I'm going to hit the marina and see if anybody saw Dale, Beth,
25:42or a very newborn baby.
25:44Can I keep me posted?
25:52How could anyone do this?
25:54Actually, homicides will even cause a death on pregnant women.
25:56Oh, my God.
26:07If you want to kill someone, at least shoot them.
26:09Don't slice them open with a fish knife.
26:12It's possible he just used the knife to cut the baby's umbilical cord.
26:15Why go to all that trouble for a baby that isn't even his?
26:18Maybe Dale thought Beth lied and the baby really was his.
26:21We found the placenta.
26:21That's it.
26:24No kids.
26:25I mean it.
26:26You don't have to give birth on a boat.
26:29Ugh.
26:32Is the baby more alive?
26:33No way to know.
26:34What?
26:41I got a hotline tip that a...
26:43Forget the damn hotline.
26:45...that a pregnant girl used to hang out at some bar by the pier
26:48with a guy who lived on a boat.
26:50So I've been making the rounds,
26:53and I guess he's trying to pick up a young hottie at the Lucky Badger.
26:57Dale Peterson.
26:58You win.
26:58I'm on my way.
26:59I'll keep saying it.
27:05I have no idea what happened to this baby.
27:08You mean me saying French, Spanish?
27:10She was born on your boat.
27:13If I could help you guys, I would.
27:15I've got nothing against Beth.
27:16I think she's a great girl.
27:18A little screwed up, but who isn't?
27:21When's the last time you saw her?
27:22I broke up with her...
27:24Must be months ago.
27:25We hear she broke up with you
27:26because you like to hit pregnant women.
27:28That's not my style.
27:31Okay?
27:31She kicked me in the nads when I told her it was over.
27:34But I never touched her.
27:36You were pissed the baby wasn't yours.
27:38Are you kidding?
27:40I'm just thrilled.
27:42Look at...
27:43Beth was a small-town girl.
27:46And I met on the pier one day listening to street musicians.
27:50I invited her to my boat.
27:52We had a good time for a few months there.
27:54I figured she was looking for a little break from her boring life.
27:58I am sorry if she was hoping for more.
28:01Her blood is all over your boat.
28:04Great.
28:05I haven't been home in three days.
28:07I never go there on the weekends, and she knows that.
28:09Maybe I should go in there.
28:10Hey.
28:12She's doing great.
28:12She's a pro.
28:15Where were you last night from 9 p.m. home?
28:16That's my business.
28:21My partner is still on your boat.
28:22I can just give him a call and tell him to tear the place apart.
28:26I was with a friend.
28:27I travel in a lot of different circles.
28:29This one's a little more Pacific Heights.
28:32Uh-huh.
28:33What's your lucky friend's name?
28:35See, that's where I'm kind of stuck.
28:36Um, she provides me with the wherewithal to maintain my lifestyle.
28:44And unfortunately, she's, uh, she's a little shy, so.
28:49Shy because she doesn't exist.
28:51We've got you called on best murder, and you know it.
28:53What our main concern is right now is this baby girl.
28:56So if you could just tell us where she is and ease her grandparents' minds,
29:00I'm sure we can work out a deal.
29:03I'm a pretty laid-back guy.
29:06I don't like it when chicks try to hustle me.
29:11Is that what Beth did to you?
29:13Even chicks as sexy as you.
29:22What'd you do with the baby?
29:26Honey, if you want a baby, I'll give you one.
29:30Me?
29:32Get up!
29:33You want to mess with me?
29:35Wow.
29:35You're not going to tell me where this kid is.
29:36Boxer, you're going to hit me?
29:37The hell off me.
29:38Minzy, hey!
29:39Back off.
29:39Where is that baby?
29:40Back off.
29:40I mean, back.
29:41Back in here.
29:41Back off.
29:42You back.
29:43Where the hell is that baby?
29:44Boxer?
29:45Is that your name?
29:46Yeah, well, with the videotapes, because I'm pressing charges.
29:48You just made me a millionaire, baby.
29:51Get off me.
29:51What the hell did you do that for?
29:54Are you kidding me?
29:54I was about to break it.
29:55In half, which doesn't help.
29:57Now we still don't know if the baby is alive or dead.
30:01Lindsay, calm down.
30:03Calm down?
30:04God, I am so glad I'm not married to you anymore.
30:07You and me both.
30:08Maybe Jacoby ought to take the lead on this one.
30:10Maybe Jacoby should take the lead on the entire department.
30:12Lindsay.
30:12How could you?
30:14Lindsay?
30:14What?
30:15Luke just called from the ER.
30:16Somebody dropped off a baby girl.
30:30You're sure nobody saw the baby being dropped off?
30:32Are we sure it's Beth's baby?
30:34She was found in a fishing tackle box by the back maintenance door.
30:37I don't suppose anybody was careful about fingerprints.
30:41Didn't think so.
30:46There's your little princess.
30:57Is she okay?
30:59Yeah.
31:00Her attending says she's doing great.
31:04She's actually kind of beautiful.
31:07You can touch her?
31:09No, thanks.
31:10Thanks.
31:13Stop!
31:14Sorry.
31:15Ma'am, I...
31:15You can't come in here dressed like that.
31:18Is that her?
31:19You're not dressed properly.
31:21I'm sorry, you don't understand.
31:22We're the family...
31:22We'd like to see our child.
31:24Please don't interfere.
31:25Sam.
31:26Uh, why don't we just go in the hall?
31:29Let's just go out in the hall.
31:38That baby is legally ours.
31:39Actually, she's not.
31:40Her mother agreed to it.
31:42Our lawyer says the birth mother's wishes.
31:44You don't have a signed contract.
31:46The grandparents' claim is preeminent.
31:50How'd you know the baby was here?
31:53We read it on the internet.
31:55Some TV station website.
31:57When?
31:59Maybe half an hour ago.
32:00My boss gave the media the information 15 minutes ago.
32:04Before that, no one knew.
32:06Okay, so it was 15 minutes ago.
32:08You want another trip downtown?
32:10Yeah.
32:15Some woman called my cell phone about an hour ago and told us the baby was at the hospital.
32:19You didn't recognize her voice?
32:21No.
32:23Give me your phone.
32:24We just didn't want things to get complicated.
32:25Give me your phone.
32:28Now.
32:40I didn't call anybody.
32:41You used the pay phone right down the block.
32:43It's not too bright.
32:44I didn't.
32:45What happened to Beth, Melanie?
32:46What'd you do to her?
32:47Nothing.
32:47That's crazy.
32:48Tell me why we shouldn't believe that you killed Beth and Ethan and stashed the baby somewhere.
32:53These weren't for sick babies, were they?
32:54They were for Beth and Ethan's baby.
32:56But you panicked and you dumped the baby at the hospital.
32:58No.
32:58You got it all wrong.
32:59That's not why.
33:00You're under arrest.
33:01That's not why I took the baby there.
33:03I don't know what happened.
33:05She was scared.
33:06She asked me for my help.
33:09She said it was best for the baby.
33:12She?
33:18No!
33:21Beth!
33:23Get back!
33:26Get out!
33:28Just calm down, all right?
33:29Nobody has to get hurt today.
33:30Out!
33:30Out of the room!
33:33All right.
33:35All right, now just calm down.
33:37You two.
33:38Get out.
33:39It's okay.
33:43I said get out.
33:45Drop your gun.
33:47A lot of people have been looking for you.
33:49Shut up!
33:51Drop it!
33:53Okay.
33:54God.
33:55Don't make me shoot you.
33:57Okay.
33:58Just calm down, all right?
33:59Look.
34:00See?
34:03Is that your husband's gun?
34:09Is that the one you shot him with?
34:11I was just trying to scare him.
34:14The gun went off.
34:16You were mad at him.
34:16He said that he would sign the adoption papers.
34:20He promised me, but...
34:22Then he wouldn't do it.
34:24Then your water broke, and you knew the baby was coming, and you didn't know what to do.
34:28I just...
34:29I just...
34:30I just wanted to be free.
34:33Go somewhere, you know?
34:36I would, like, start all over again without Ethan or Dale or baby or anybody.
34:45Why not just give Ethan the baby and go?
34:47No, I'd give him anything.
34:49He was breaking up with me, and I needed the money so I could start fresh.
34:55So the gun went off, and you panicked?
34:58I couldn't go anywhere.
34:59I couldn't go to the hospital.
35:03They'd find me.
35:05And you delivered that baby all by yourself.
35:07I was so scared.
35:20Then the baby started crying.
35:23I had to get her to the hospital.
35:27I knew Melanie would help.
35:31She's my only friend.
35:37Are they coming here?
35:40My partner probably called them.
35:44Beth, why don't you just give me the gun?
35:45No.
35:46No.
35:48I'm leaving.
35:49Beth.
35:49I'll shoot you.
35:50Do you want to know how your daughter is?
35:54The doctor says she's doing fine.
35:57Beth, you could have dropped that baby into the ocean.
35:59It certainly would have been a lot safer for you, but you didn't.
36:02You took her to the hospital.
36:04You did a great job of bringing your baby into this world.
36:16You okay?
36:23I'm fine.
36:28World at large, I'm not so sure.
36:34You know the media's not allowed to take pictures up here.
36:40Shh.
36:41Shh, shh, shh, shh.
36:42I'm just saying.
36:43I'm just saying.
36:43That one thing about the sea
36:46Mama's gonna buy you a dollar
36:50That diamond ring goes brass
36:56Mama's gonna buy you a lucky glass
37:00Don't let us stop you.
37:06Luke, never seize that picture.
37:09Oh, come on.
37:10You look adorable.
37:12Wow.
37:13This little girl looks like she's about ready to go home.
37:16Wherever that is.
37:19She belongs with her grandparents.
37:21Oh, my gosh.
37:31Oh, look at her.
37:34Oh, sweetie.
37:38Excuse me.
37:39Would you mind if I took a picture?
37:42Oh, you are so beautiful.
37:45Oh, sweetie.
37:47Shh, shh.
37:48You're done good.
37:56Murdered father, mother in jail.
37:59I'm just gonna have a lot to deal with growing up.
38:01She's got two people in her life
38:03who care more about her than anything in the world.
38:05I'd say that's a good place to start.
38:11I'm guessing you need a drink.
38:14I just want to go home to my dog.
38:16I sleep all day
38:20What makes me feel this way
38:28And everything's a bus
38:35Hi.
38:37Hello, Tom.
38:40Lieutenant.
38:41Lieutenant.
38:42Whatever.
38:43Got some good news.
38:49Got that slimeball Dale to back off.
38:52He's not gonna sue.
38:57Thanks, Tom.
38:58That is good news.
39:02Not the brightest bulb.
39:05Told him I'd arrest him for obstructing justice,
39:07and he bought it.
39:10Thanks, Tom.
39:11That is good news.
39:12She could have called and told me I was the phone.
39:22I think about the never-ending way
39:24My day never seems to want to end
39:28I think about the longings of love
39:31Uh, I just thought I would come by and see if you're okay.
39:40I'm fine.
39:41How are you?
39:44Looking forward to the big wedding?
39:47Okay.
39:48Okay.
39:49I just thought...
39:50All's well that ends well.
39:52Linz, I'm here if you want to talk.
40:01I don't.
40:09Okay.
40:10Okay.
40:14Look.
40:15Lots of first pregnancies don't work out.
40:18Ours didn't.
40:19It's nobody's fault.
40:21Nobody's a failure.
40:22It just happens.
40:23Yeah.
40:24I know.
40:25And it was four years ago.
40:27Yeah, and we both went back to work three days later.
40:29Sure as hell I'll be staying home.
40:30I need to take Martha for a walk.
40:39Working this case with you today, I don't know.
40:42You think that you put something away and then you realize
40:46that it's still with you.
40:54I'm gonna go.
40:55You know, I read in a magazine somewhere that the Japanese have a ceremony
41:09when what happened to us happens.
41:14And there's music and toys and pretty little umbrellas.
41:28The parents ask the spirits to take their baby to a better world.
41:35Better world.
41:36Don't take it away from me.
41:39Sounds nice.
41:40Don't take away the one love that matters.
41:52And we'll all get well, you'll see.
41:56Don't.
41:56We'll all get well, you'll get well, you'll get well, you'll get well.
