All language subtitles for Homicide life on the street S06E17 - Abduction

Come on, Sean, hurry up.
Merry-go-round.

Yeah. How about this one?
She's awfully pretty.

- No, I want a boy.
- A boy, OK.

Hey, this one's a boy.
Do you want to get on him?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

All right.

- I wanna ride by myself.
- Oh, I don't know.

They're really all right by themselves.

- I've always stayed with him.
- How old is your son?

- He turned four last month.
- It'd be fine.

Oh... all right. Hang on tight.

Go, Marie!

She's already had
twelve stitches this year.

No, not from the merry-go-round.
We took her skiing.

Really?

- Hold on, Sean. Both hands!
- Marie! Look, he's having a ball.

I guess I had to let him
ride alone sometime.

Hi. Oh, no.

Oh, my camera.

- Did you see Sean go by?
- I thought I did.

Sean?

Sean? Sean?

- Did you see my son?
- He's not on the other side?

Sean? Sean?

Morning, all.

Nice bouquet.

Who sent you the flowers?

My mother. She misses me.

Mothers send house plants and ferns,
tulips maybe, not roses.

Whoever they're from,
they're not going on my desk.

- Our desk.
- Our desk is not big enough for us both.

- Oh, but it is.
- What's the problem?

- Nothin'.
- Good.

Ballard, take the desk
across from Gharty.

I'm tired of you and Pembleton
wrestling for the phone.

Maybe you should
reassign Stivers, too.

Lewis is gonna want his desk
when he comes back?

Thanks for caring, Mike.

Last I heard, Lewis was still suspended.
Stivers stays where she is.

Homicide, Falsone.

OK.

Gee! Missing kid over
at the Inner Harbor.

Uniforms searched the area,
no sign of him.

Possible kidnapping. Everybody goes!

You didn't see anyone take you son
off the merry-go-round?

No, he was on the other side,
I couldn't see anything.

It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have let him ride alone.

He's only four years old.
You'll find him, right?

Yeah, we'll find him.

You're from Homicide.
But the boy's missing. He's not dead.

Homicide Unit investigates
all child abductions.

- Did you see someone take Sean?
- No, I didn't.

He was there one minute
and the next it was like he vanished.

I'm the one who told her it would be OK
to let her child ride alone.

I thought he would be OK.
My daughter does it all the time.

Hey, Marie. Do you remember that boy
that was riding with you?

Could a four-year-old get off
one of these by himself?

Not unless he fell off.
And he didn't fall.

- How do you know?
- I'd have seen him fall.

That means that someone took him.
Did you see who that was?

Look, I have a couple of hundred
rugrats riding this every day.

I can't watch every single one of 'em.
That's what the parents are for.

The little boy, brown hair, blue jacket.
Do you remember?

My horse was purple.

- This little boy was on a red horse.
- Purple's my favourite colour.

We'll need a list of everyone
that spends time with your son,

caretakers, people like that.

He's at nursery school, half-days.

Three Bears Day Care Centre
in the afternoons.

Any babysitters?

Couple of girls from my neighbourhood
watch him on the weekends.

- What about your ex-husband?
- He's on a business trip. Atlanta, I think.

- And you have sole custody?
- Yes.

David sees him every other weekend.

- Detective Falsone?
- Did you find him?

We searched the Inner Harbor
Pavilion, surrounding streets...

If we extend the canvas beyond,
we'll need more manpower.

You call who you have to.
Keep looking.

Sean is four years old.
Brown hair, brown eyes.

At the time he was reported missing,
he was in a blue fleece jacket,

red T-shirt, jeans and white sneakers.

He was last seen on the merry-go-round
at the Science Center at 11:00.

We interviewed everybody
at the scene and no one saw anything.

All too busy watching their own kids.

The mother, Amy Marshall,
works as a dental technician.

The father, David Marshall, works at
a contracting firm called Gilbert Soames.

- They're divorced, Sean's the only child.
- What's the father say?

He's out of town on a business trip,
we can't get hold of him.

Father has partial custody
and can't be reached?

- Sounds like a first suspect.
- I haven't ruled out the father.

But I don't want to narrow the field.
We have a tap on Marshall's phone.

Uniforms are handing out flyers
with Sean's photo

and we have hotline set up with calls
coming directly into the Squad Room.

We have a list of Sean's babysitters,
nursery school and day care workers.

Bayliss and Pemberton take
the day care centre and nursery.

Ballard and Gharty,
talk to the babysitters.

Munch, Kellerman, canvass
the Marshalls' neighbourhood.

We're looking for anyone who might
have an unusual attachment to Sean.

We need to know if the Marshall's had
any enemies, out for revenge, disputes.

Johnson, Stepopolis, check any recently
released sex offenders in the area.

Let's move and let's move quickly.

Our chances of recovering the boy
decrease every hour he's missing.

I'll talk to Public Information. We need
all the press coverage we can get.

Falsone, line one.

Inspector Falsone...

OK, thanks.
That was David Marshall's office.

That meeting he was supposed
to be at? Never showed up.

Talk to the mother. Maybe she hasn't
told us the whole story on this.

Tell me you found him!

We need to talk to you
about your ex-husband, Mr Marshall.

When was the last time
you saw David?

Last weekend.
We took Sean to the Science Center.

Every once in a while
we try deluding ourselves.

- Deluding yourselves, how?
- That we can get along.

At least as parents, that we can
spend a day together with our son.

Every time we try we end up arguing.

I guess there's a reason
we got divorced.

Did you have custody disagreements
after the divorce?

Erm, no.

He never expressed interest in seeing
his son more than every other weekend?

Well, er...

Yeah, last summer he asked to take
Sean to his mother's for two weeks.

- On vacation.
- And?

I said no and he dropped it.
I think his mother put him up to it.

We need a list of your husband's family,
friends, anybody he might trust.

OK.

If he's with his father, at least he's safe.

- I just wanna see my wife.
- David, where's Sean?

- David, where's Sean?
- What are you talking about?

- Tell me you have him.
- Why would I?

- Your son's missing.
- Why weren't you watching him?

I was watching him! I just looked down
for a second to get my camera.

- You let him out of your sight, Amy.
- Let's go outside.

Detective, what happened to my son?
Amy, what happened to Sean?

If he doesn't have him, who does?

Aren't you supposed
to be in Atlanta right now?

Yeah, my car broke down
on the way to the airport.

I caught a cab but I missed my flight.

So I checked in with my office.
They said Amy was calling, hysterical.

When was the last time
you saw your son?

Last weekend.

- What, do you think I have him?
- Do you?

Call the garage
where they towed my car.

- I didn't kidnap my son. I love him.
- Sometimes that's the problem.

Listen, I would never do that to Amy,
or to Sean.

It's hard enough for him as it is,
and she's...

I didn't take him.

- I need the number of that garage.
- Fine.

So?

It's not the ex-husband.
His alibi checks out.

Al, we're good to go live
at 5:00 and 6:00

on broadcast with
the Sean Marshall disappearance.

- You know Susan Croft?
- Public Information. How you doin'?

I need an update on Sean Marshall.
Give me something to go on.

Every detective in the Western District
is working on it.

- And you have no suspects yet?
- So far, no.

- Are you the primary on this case?
- Yes, sir.

I need to make a statement to the press,
put some spin on this.

Once they go on the air, we'll be
besieged with calls from parents.

I don't know what to tell you. So far
there's been no demand for ransom.

Given Sean's age and
circumstances of his disappearance...

Maybe he was snatched by someone
who wanted their own child, a woman,

which means
he's in no immediate danger.

- Or...
- Or what?

He was taken by a paedophile,
a sex offender,

in which case
we have 24 hours to find him.

After that, we won't be looking
for a child, we'll be looking for a body.

You're responsible for how many kids?

Nineteen. That's including Sean.

Did you ever notice anyone unusual
hanging around the kids,

in the playground after school?

No one. No.

Don't take this the wrong way,
but with so many kids in your care,

if someone suspicious was around,
would you have noticed?

Yeah, that's what I get paid for.
To watch these kids.

Is that gonna be a problem right there?

Excuse me. OK, that's enough,
that's enough. Now what's this all about?

- Do you like babysitting?
- Beats working at Caldor.

Depends on the kid I guess.
Some are brattier than others.

- What about Sean?
- Sean was easy.

Most kids his age would scream
when their moms leave. He never did.

Do you think that Sean was the kind
of kid who'd walk away with a stranger?

I think he'd know better.

- All right, Caitlin. Thank you.
- Hope you find him.

- Get the ball.
- Did Mrs Marshall have any boyfriends?

Not that I know. The only man I see
coming round is the ex-husband.

- Sean's father, David?
- Yeah, yeah.

Do you think the kid is dead?

We have no reason to believe that,
Mr Resnick.

You see these faces,
on the posters, in the paper.

Every time I toss out a milk carton,
I wonder if that kid made it back alive.

I almost never wear make-up.

Powder stops your face
from shining under the lights.

- I just want Sean to recognise me.
- You're his mother. He'll recognise you.

I spoke to the news director.
We're ready to go.

Mr Marshall talks to the public,
to the abductor.

Mrs Marshall,
you speak directly to your son.

We're up after the next break.

Thank you.

'Live, local, late-breaking.
Eleven News at 6:00 continues.

'Baltimore police are asking for help
tonight in their search for Sean Marshall.

'Here are Sean's parents,
Amy and David Marshall,

'with a personal plea
to their son's abductor.'

We just want to say
to whoever has Sean,

whoever you are,
we're willing to cooperate.

Whatever you want us to do, we'll do it.
We just want our son back... alive.

Sean, you're my big boy,

so be smart and be strong,

don't be afraid, Mommy loves you.

'We're gonna find you and bring you
home, safe and warm, soon.

'Mommy and Daddy are looking for you.
And we're gonna find you.'

So whoever has Sean,
please don't hurt my baby.

He's just a little boy and he needs
his mommy, so please bring him home.

Mommy knows you're fine.

But I just miss you
and I just want you to come home.

They turned us off, hon.
They turned us off. You did great.

So what do we do now, Detective?

You should go home. Whoever
has Sean may try to contact you.

Falsone.

Johnson and Stepopolis picked up
a parole paedophile, Allen Ramey.

He was convicted six years ago
for assault on a four-year-old boy.

He just moved into a house
two blocks from the Marshalls.

Sean lives a couple of blocks
away from you. Ever see him?

- Could be I've seen him.
- Where?

I don't know. Around.

Around where?
Playing in the street, at the playground?

- Cos there's a playground a block from.
- Yeah.

You ever been there?
It's OK if you have.

- I've been there, a couple of times.
- To watch the kids?

It's not against the law.

Did you ever see Sean in that
playground? Take a good look.

He likes the swings.

He always laughs on the swings.
So sweet...

- So you know him?
- That doesn't mean I touched him.

I'm on medication. I'm cured now.

Oh, you're cured
Well, what about the pictures, Ramey?

The detectives said your walls were
covered with pictures of little boys.

- I'm going to call your parole officer.
- I haven't done anything wrong.

Where were you this morning at 11:00?

I told you. I was home. Alone.

Where's Sean Marshall?

I don't know.

You know where she's going?
She's gonna call your parole officer.

There's gonna be uniforms
in front of your house.

You won't be allowed
at that playground.

You won't be able
to watch kids any more.

We're gonna be watching you
every second of every day

until we find Sean Marshall.

Ramey left his parole officer
at 10:00 this morning.

- He could've been there, he's no alibi.
- That's not enough to arrest him.

So we set him free,
send him back to the playground?

We don't have a choice, Falsone.
We can't hold him.

- Where you going?
- Something I have to do.

Yeah, Daniel's going to day care
tomorrow like he does every day.

- You can't take off from work?
- No, I can't. Can you?

- So take him to your sister's.
- My sister works, Paul.

She's got a job. You know that.

Anyway, I think you're overreacting.
Daniel loves day care.

I'm sure it's safe there.

Safe?
Amy Marshall was ten feet aw...

She was ten feet away from her kid
when he disappeared.

Some nutcase is snatching boys
in broad daylight.

My son is not going to school.

If you can't find someone
to watch him, I'll take him with me.

I'll call Mrs Idelcheck next door.
Maybe she can come over tomorrow.

That's all I wanted.

We're no closer to finding
Sean than we were seven hours ago?

We're running down every lead.
We just need a break.

- What about the tip line?
- Cranks and cons, nothing legit.

Kellerman?

We interviewed everyone
in his neighbourhood.

None of them had any clue
who'd do this.

Maybe Sean left on his own.
Have we thought about that?

- Kids run away all the time.
- Not at that age, they don't.

- Who are you?
- Jeff Andrews.

THE Jeff Andrews?
Host of "This Week's Wanted"?

I'm Lieutenant Giardello.
How can I help you?

I was hoping I could help you.
We were in DC taping a segment.

We saw the disappearance
on the local news. I'd like to air the story.

That's not a great idea.
We're working a case.

We won't step on your operation.

We don't have time to produce a TV
show that exploits the misery of victims.

How many missing children
has your show helped to find?

In eight years, we've contributed
to the rescue of 312 children.

- 10 million watch the show every week.
- Cuter the kid, higher the ratings?

- Is that how it works?
- We could use the extra publicity.

You're not gonna go for this?

At this stage, I'd take help
from that woman on "Profiler".

- How quickly can we air the story?
- Tomorrow night.

Channel 11 got a message
from a man who claims to have Sean.

He'll contact Amy Marshall
in one hour with his demands.

- Falsone, Stivers, get to the house.
- I'd like to follow them with my crew.

Don't get in my detectives way.

Interfere and you'll be broadcasting
your show from Central Lock-up.

The Channel 11 operator said
the man talked about Sean's eyes.

He said he had beautiful eyes.

If he's calling for a ransom, he wants
the money. He won't hurt your son.

What if he wants more than we have?
What if he wants a million dollars?

Don't worry. We'll work something out.

What if he won't listen?
What if he's crazy?

The whole thing is crazy.

I'm sorry. I need some air.

- You OK?
- Yeah.

I just don't understand this.
I mean, I don't get it.

I mean, I make a decent living.

But between child support payments
and taxes and living expenses...

You know how much money
I have in the bank?

$650 and some change.

It's pathetic, isn't it?

That's about what I got,
come to think of it.

Why would somebody kidnap my son?
I don't look rich, do I?

No.

I've never done anything to hurt
another human being in my whole life.

I don't think it works that way.

It should.

Wow, I haven't had apple juice in years.

- You married, Detective?
- No, I'm not.

- You have children?
- No.

That's why you haven't had apple juice.

You only drink apple juice
when you have kids.

Hold it, wait.

OK, pick it up.

Hello?

The suspect has identified himself
as Simon Harper.

- Does he have the boy?
- He won't say.

Maybe cos he sees the guns.
Why don't you lower the weapons?

It's your call, Jasper.
But just think of the child.

25-01, all units, lower your weapons.

Mr Harper,
we've lowered our weapons.

No one's going to hurt you.
Come out now with the boy.

Wait!
Here he comes, here he comes.

I'm Simon Harper.

- Anything?
- Nah. Nothing.

He's not in here!

Where's Sean Marshall?
How the hell would I know?

- Where is he?
- I just wanted to get on television!

Get him out of here!

Hey, good morning.

- We've been up all night.
- It's still morning.

Still no closer to finding this Sean
Marshall, or so "The Sun" informs us.

You know, in some ways,
I'd rather be working on a murder.

The pain has ended.

No one's thinkin' about a little boy
being tortured and abused,

whether he's frightened or crying.

- Almost better to know he's at peace.
- That's one way of looking at it.

I guess when I have my own children,
I'll feel differently.

You wanna have children?

Yeah. I want to be a father,
then I want to be a grandfather.

Of course, gotta have a kid soon,

or else I won't live long enough
to see my own grandkids.

Does this mean you wanna get married,
to a woman?

This means
your experimental phase is over?

I wanna see progress!

Everywhere, I see Sean's smiling face,
but I don't see the real child.

I need new input, my friends.
I need information.

Nothing to tell you. Kellerman's at
the Marshall's monitoring the wiretap.

Apart from Harper,
there've been no calls.

We've contacted every hospital
and morgue in Virginia and Maryland.

- I don't know what do except start over.
- Then start over!

Go back to the school,
go back to the family.

Reinterview everybody
who was at the scene.

Talk to every boy and girl who's ever
ridden the damn merry-go-round.

The next time I see
Sean Marshall's face,

I wanna see him in his mother's arms.

Remember talking to us, Amber?
We asked you about this little boy?

At the merry-go-round.

Right. Sean was riding next to you
on the merry-go-round.

I sat on the purple horse.

What kind of horse did Sean ride?
Do you remember?

The red pony.

That's good. Now, you saw Sean
get on the red pony?

We were going around and round.

Did you see Sean with anyone? Did you
see him get off the merry-go-round?

Yeah.

- When did you see Sean get off?
- When it slowed down.

- So who was with Sean, Amber?
- I don't remember.

Do you remember
the last time you saw him?

When the ride stopped goin' around,
was Sean still on his horse?

Purple's my favourite colour.

Excuse us.

Hey, I say we give her a snack,
let her do some more drawing

and question her again
before we give up.

- What was her favourite colour again?
- Have patience, Falsone.

- Have you considered a hypnotist?
- What?

There's a woman in Virginia,
Amelia Owings.

She does work for her local police
departments, occasionally the FBI.

A hypnotist?

What about a psychic?
Or a fortune teller?

Why don't we turn this case
into a circus?

Fifteen years ago, I worked a case,
serial rapist murderer.

We had a surviving victim, couldn't
remember a thing about the attack.

The woman's family
brought in a hypnotist.

Under hypnosis, she could remember
enough details about the killer

that we were able to catch the man.

Hypnosis can be a powerful tool.
They say kids are especially open to it.

Call Ms Owings. Tell her to get here
as soon as possible.

I want you to imagine
you're on the merry-go-round.

It's spinning around.
The music is playing.

You start to move faster.

- What is your name?
- Amber Pollack.

'How old are you? '

'Seven.'

- 'And where are you? '
- 'I'm on the merry-go-round.'

- Tell me what you see.
- Angel's ears.

- 'Who's Angel? '
- 'My horse.'

See any other children, Amber?

The girl on the brown dog.

'Who else? '

The boy on the red pony.

Tell us about the boy.
What do you see?

He has a hat on.

OK, Amber.
The merry-go-round is slowing down.

It's going slower... slower.

- 'Are you looking at the boy? '
- He's getting into the car.

He's getting into the car
with who?

It's a blue car.

Dark blue? Light blue?

Dark blue.

It says "TX".

The licence plate.
The licence plate says "TX"?

- Yes.
- What else? Are there any numbers?

Look carefully, Amber.
It says "TX". Then what?

- "Q".
- "TXQ".

'Keep going.'

- 'The car's driving away.'
- 'What else does it say? '

What else does it say?

That may be all she saw.

Come on, Amber. "TXQ" what?

Bye-bye, Angel.

That's it.

- No. She's gotta know more.
- If she did, she would've told us.

We should stop now.

Can you see who's driving the car?

I can't force her to see
what she didn't see. It's time to stop.

OK, wake her up.

OK, Amber.
At the count of three, you can wake up.

One, two and three.

We've got a total of 189 vehicles
with the tag numbers starting TXQ.

- That's Baltimore City only?
- Include the County, it goes up to 404.

In Maryland, there are 1000 cars
Sean could've got in.

- What if the kidnapper's from Delaware?
- He could've come from Idaho.

- But we gotta start someplace.
- Ballard, Gharty, the first section.

Then Pembleton and Bayliss.
Munch?

I wonder if I let her hypnotise me,
I could find my sunglasses.

Lieutenant, Colonel Barnfather
on the line. He wants an update.

Tell him that there is no update.
Never mind. I'll tell him myself.

Great. That was my line producer.
We got the go-ahead from the network.

We're pre-empting what we have
and airing the abduction tonight.

Well, bully for you.
The show is national, Detective.

If Sean's been taken out of state, we'll
reach more people than the police can.

Yeah? What the hell
do you know about police work?

I know you're under a lot of pressure,
Detective.

I'll let you get back to work.

Yeah, you do that.

- You know about Andrews, right?
- What?

His daughter, Lisa Andrews,
was abducted ten years ago.

She's never been found.

No, I didn't know that.

So, how many tag numbers
are left on the list?

I hope this is the last house.
I'm out of ink.

Second to last. Sandy
Reynolds, licence number TXQ-766.

Let's go.

No. No one's home. Who's next?

All right, let me see.
Can you read that?

- Looking for Sandy? Just missed her.
- Know when she's gonna be home?

No, she won't be back for a while.
She had a couple suitcases.

I think she's taking her new son
to Montreal to meet her family.

- Mrs Reynolds just had a new baby?
- No. She adopted a son. Cutest thing.

She adopted a son?
How long ago?

- Brought him home yesterday?
- Do you recognise this photo?

Yeah, that's him. That's Matt.
Matthew Reynolds, she named him.

The neighbour told us Sandy Reynolds'
mother and sisters live in Montreal.

They haven't heard from her but they'll
notify authorities if they do.

We're coordinating with the State Police
to set up checkpoints.

We need to cover
all public transportation.

I've put in a call to the airlines. So far,
she hasn't tried to purchase a ticket.

BWI Security is on the lookout
for Reynolds and Sean.

Bayliss and Pembleton,
head out to the airport.

Reynolds shows up,
I want our people waiting.

- Mike and I'll cover the bus stations.
- Me and Ballard got Penn Station.

- I'd like to be there when they find Sean.
- Don't you mean if they find him?

I've discovered there's a good reason
to be hopeful, go ahead and be hopeful.

- Doesn't jinx anything.
- Well, I don't mind.

- Did you find Sean?
- Is he all right?

A neighbour of the woman
we think has your son,

she saw Sean a few hours ago
alive and well.

- What woman? Who is she?
- Her name is Sandy Reynolds.

Mean anything to you?

- No.
- No, not to me, either.

All right. Call me as soon as you...
I know. All right.

- Here.
- Thanks.

- Any news?
- That was Kowalski, State Police.

No blue Ford,
no Sandy Reynolds, no Sean.

- Let's get outta here.
- And go where?

Check the roadblocks ourselves? I don't
feel like waiting for the phone to ring.

Paul, you're the primary.
You're coordinating the investigation.

I know. I just... if it were my kid,
I wouldn't be sitting around here.

I'd be out there looking. I'd be looking
until I found him, you know?

Falsone, Stivers. Pick up line one.
They found Reynolds.

Falsone.

The owner of the diner recognised
the little boy from the news.

- Held 'em both till you got here.
- How's the kid?

The woman, she won't let him go.
Said we made a mistake.

- Sean, honey. It's Mommy.
- It's OK, it's OK. Let the boy go.

- No. Don't take him.
- Let him go.

Don't take him. He's mine.

Let him go. Put your hands
where I can see them.

Let him go.

Oh, my baby!

He wanted ice cream.
That's why we stopped. He was hungry.

I'm a good mom.
No one can say I'm not a good mom.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney...

He was safe with me. I've known him
since he was practically an infant.

- How do you know Sean?
- Matt. His name is Matt.

He really grew up a lot
between two and three.

His face changed.

He went from a baby to a child.

The Marshalls don't know you.

I don't know them.

I didn't even know their names
until they were on TV.

You've never spoken to them before?

I said hello
to the woman one time.

- Usually, I just watched them.
- Watched them where?

At the merry-go-round
at the Science Center.

That's how I got to know Matt.
And he knew me.

He didn't cry when I took him away.

Why did you take him, Ms Reynolds?

It was for his own good.

His own good?

I'd watch them.

Every time it was the same thing.
They'd get into a fight.

It's not healthy for children to grow up
in an antagonistic environment.

Fighting or not fighting,
they're his parents.

Well, they weren't good parents.

Any idiot can have a child.
It's amazing, isn't it?

You have to have licence to get a dog!

But you didn't have the right to take him.
He wasn't yours.

Well, he should be mine.

Why do you think
that it was so easy to take him?

No one noticed,
no one said anything.

Once we got to Canada, I...

...I would've dyed his hair...

...put him in glasses.

He'd grow up and he'd change.

He'd forget about them
and he'd learn to love me.

No one would know
that he wasn't my child.

No one would ever have known.

What's your feeling? Is Sandy Reynolds
competent to stand trial?

Her Public Defender's asked
for a psych evaluation.

The laywers can sort it out.

I don't care if she goes jail or a mental
institution as long she's off the street.

- How's Sean Marshall?
- Unhurt.

He was scared and confused,
but I think he'll recover.

I wish I could say the same.
I feel like sleeping for a week.

I guess I'll just have to settle
for eight solid hours.

I'm going home. I suggest
you do the same. Good night.

- Good night.
- Night, Gee.

I told Ballard I'd meet her for a nightcap.
You want a drink?

Nah. I gotta finish up a few details
and then I'm outta here.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- All right. I thought it was tomorrow.

Hey, Andrews.
Didn't know you were still here.

I wanted to give you this.
A tape of tonight's segment.

But Sean's not missing.
You still showed the episode?

Sometimes we like to do happy endings.

- For the ratings.
- Yeah. For the ratings.

Case gets closed, Sean gets found,
life-affirming stuff.

People love the satisfaction.

Job I do usually starts off
with dead bodies.

Not too many happy endings
with that kind of beginning.

- Take one when you can get one, right?
- Exactly.

I'm outta here.
My wife and daughter are at the hotel.

Your daughter? I thought...

Oh... yeah, my little daughter, Katie.
She's three.

I have a three-year-old.
He's almost four. Daniel.

Keep an eye on him.

Mm. That Sean Marshall,
he was a little cutie.

Yeah.

You ever think about havin' a baby?

- I've never wanted children.
- Are you kidding me?

- Why does everybody say that?
- I don't know.

Maybe because you have to.
Everybody wants a baby.

Yeah, like Sandy Reynolds, right?

She wanted to be a mom so badly,
she stole a child.

Well, I guess it's... it's hormonal.
It's like... an animal drive thing.

The ticking clock, baby lust.
I've never felt it.

Wow.

I feel like I have spent my whole life
wanting things that I don't have,

like a man who will love me
unconditionally,

a baby and...

...hair that doesn't frizz in the rain.

Not that I wouldn't be open to marriage,
if the right man came along or a baby.

I just don't crave it, you know?
I'm happy.

I don't have any unfulfilled longings.

You're lucky.

I don't know about that.

- Paul?
- Hey?

It's late.
Daniel's probably asleep.

Yeah, he is.

- I just wanted to see him for a sec, OK?
- Sure.

Oh, Daniel? Wake up and play.

Daniel? Psst.

Hello. What's up, killer?

Don't tell Mommy that I woke you up.

- OK.
- OK. Shh.

- I just wanted to see you. I love you.
- Love you, too.

Go back to sleep, OK?

All right.

'The neighbours told us Sandy Reynolds
has a mother and sisters in Montreal.'

'We need to cover
all public transportation.

'Let's find her, let's find the boy.
Sooner rather than later.'

'lt was every parent's
worst nightmare, a missing child.

'Sean Marshall, four years old
was snatched by a stranger

'less than a day and a half later, Sean's
been safely reunited with his family,
