[♪♪♪]

What is your problem?

You don't have
to push me like that.

My problem is you.

You can't keep
your mouth shut.

What'd I say?
I didn't say anything.

Right! Flashing all
the cash in your wallet

isn't saying anything?

I wanted to buy
some girls some drinks.

You don't need to be
buying people drinks.

You're going
to get us caught.

Will you stop? You're
so uptight lately.

I should've never
gotten you involved.

You can't
keep it together.

I've got a lot
on the line here.

You know what?

I'm gonna buy you
a drink next time,

so you can relax and
realize that nothing is--

We've been I.D.ed.

[♪♪♪]

You are gonna love
this book.

I stayed up half the night
to finish it when I read it.

Okay, Lillian.

I'm heading out.

You still have three minutes
on your shift.

Oh, well, maybe you could
spot me a minute or two.

Mother's throwing
John Queensland

a birthday party tonight.

Yes, I heard.

You know, if you're up
for a party,

you're welcome to come.

Oh, I'm sure "welcome"
is a strong word.

No, it's
the right word.

We would love to have you.

I almost believe you.

But I'm sure
the party will be thick

with your morbid
"Real Murders Club" people.

Yes, there will be
some of us there.

I'll think about it,

but don't get
your hopes up.

I won't.

[cell phone ringing]

Martin.
How's your day going?

It's about
to get a whole lot better.

Why is that?

Because I am leaving work
and heading to see you!

Aww! I can't wait
to see you, too.

Hey! Will you make a detour,

and pick up a bottle of
champagne for the party?

Okay.

See you soon.
Bottle of bubbly in hand.

[knocking on door]

Hi!

Can I help you?

I hope
you're Aurora Teagarden

and I'm in the right place.

Yeah, that's me.

I don't think
I know you, though.

No, but you know
my uncle Martin.

I just went by his office
and they said

he'd left to come here,
so...

I'm Regina.

Regina...

Oh! Regina!

Yes!

I've seen your pictures
on Martin's wall.

Yeah, he's told me about you.
Please come in.

Thank you.

He hasn't seen you
in a few years.

He said you lost touch
after your mother died.

Oh. Yeah, I just...
I couldn't do family for awhile.

He probably doesn't even
know I got married.

Oh. Or had a baby!

Yes, I did.

This is Hayden.

Beautiful little Hayden.

Oh, hi, Hayden!

Aw, he is beautiful.
And so little!

He's just two weeks.

And suddenly, I just had
to show him off

to my uncle Martin.

He is coming here, right?

Oh, any minute.

Oh.

Yeah.
Please sit down.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Here you go.

Look at him go!

He must be hungry.

I haven't had
a chance to feed him

since we left Corinth.

That's where I live now.

Oh, Corinth?

That's only an hour away.

I don't think Martin knew
you lived so close.

Oh, we just moved there
four months ago.

Me and Craig.
That's my husband.

Oh.

His grandparents
actually live there,

so they helped us get a place.

I've been meaning to drive out
and surprise Uncle Martin,

but my pregnancy
was a little rough, so...

Oh.

-[door opens]
-Aurora? It's me!

In the kitchen!

Any idea whose red car
that is in the drive...

Hi, Uncle Martin.

Regina?

Y-- And son.

And son?

[laughs]
Well, hi!

Hi!

Wow.

I can definitely
see your mother in him.

His eyes, huh?

But his mouth and his chin
and everything is all Craig.

That's my husband.

See?

That's our wedding photo.

Isn't he handsome?

Oh, yes!

And where is
this husband of yours?

Oh. He had to go
out of town on a job,

so he couldn't come.

Job doing what?

Construction stuff.

Well, I hope he's good enough
for you.

He's very sweet,
and he loves me.

you probably wouldn't
like him, though.

Why do you say that?

Because. You're always
so suspicious of everybody.

Ah. [chuckles]

She knows you well.

Do I have reason to be
suspicious of the guy?

I mean, I want
to know everything.

You know, where you've been
for the past four years,

why you lived
just an hour away

and didn't tell me.

Well, maybe if you didn't
grill her like a suspect...

Okay, I will
tell you everything

eventually, I promise.

After all, I'll be...

staying with you
a couple days.

Staying with me?

Well, only if it's all right.
I don't--

Well, yeah! Yeah, of course.
Of course.

I'll, uh...

I'll have to drag
an air mattress

out of the garage.

Um, I've had a crew
in there,

doing renovations--

You know what, Regina?
Why don't you just stay with me?

I have plenty of room.

[Regina]: Really?

I would love that.
Thank you.

Yeah. I'll show you
the guest room.

Okay.

And Martin, I'm sure my mother
will understand

if you want to skip the party
and visit with your niece.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, do not change your plans
because of me. Honestly.

Hayden and I are super-tired
anyways, so,

we're probably just gonna
take a nap.

Well...

Honestly, Uncle Martin.

It's fine.
We'll be okay. Go!

Okay. Okay.

Party it is.

[background chatter
and buzz]

-Hello.
-Hi!

Mm! Smells good in here.

Oh, that's because
Doreen May is catering.

And Martin...

You look so dapper!

Aida, radiant, as always.

Thank you.

Where's the birthday boy?

Oh! His favorite.

He's in the other room,
chatting.

There is a little group
of your Real Murders Club here,

and I want you
to promise me

that there'll be no talk
about murder cases.

[Aida snaps
to cut her off]

Not a peep.

[sweetly]: Come in.

It's a great turnout, John.

I don't know
if it's for me,

or because no one throws
a party like your mother.

[Sally]:
Mm! Tell me about it.

These crab cakes taste so good,

I'm embarrassed
by how many I've eaten.

I actually stuffed a few
in my pocket for later.

Your pocket?

Mm-hmm.

Um, Wait a minute.
Who-- Who are you?

I'm Jason Dell.

Wait, Dell,
as in Perry Dell?

Yeah!

Yeah, he's my cousin.

Where is Perry?

He's out of town.

But he said
you Real Murders Club people

have great meetings
and good food,

so thought
I'd check it one out.

But this isn't
actually a meeting.

That reminds me,

I have a question about

the talk you gave
to the club, John.

The Madeleine Smith case?
Arsenic poisoning?

Cool.

[John]: We were thrilled to have
you join the club, Madame Mayor.

Just "Terry" is fine when
I'm not on official business.

[John]: "Terry" it is.

[Terry]: What's your theory

about how
Madeleine disguised the taste?

You know,
I saw the weather report.

This weekend,
I heard it's gonna rain.

Did anyone else hear that?

[awkward silence
over background chatter]

Hey, Arthur!

I hear you got moved from
Robbery to Homicide

now that your lovely wife
is the new Chief.

Yep. Here's hoping
I'll be bored for awhile.

O-Or not.

Lynn, you look so nice.

Well, I understand
it's customary

to dress up for a party.

Must be nice
to have a date night.

Yeah, a little
"Mommy free-time."

Yeah, actually, it is.

Almost makes it worth
the awkward conversations.

[quiet sigh]

Kind of like this one.

Lynn, I keep thinking

you and I, we're eventually
going to be friends.

I'm sure we will.

Any time now.

She really does like you.

I'm sure she does.

[smooch]

I'm gonna check
on the birthday boy.

Hey, Martin!

Hey! How's
my favorite reporter?

Oh, good. Thanks.

Good! Good!

Martin seems
to be in high spirits.

Yeah, well,
his long-lost niece, Regina,

showed up tonight,

with a baby.

"Long-lost?"

Well, Martin's sister
died a few years back,

and-and her daughter,
she just disappeared,

stopped returning phone calls,

and they kind of
lost track of her.

But Martin's ex-C.I.A.
Couldn't he have found her?

He wanted to give her space.

But, really, I think he just
felt stung that she pulled away,

which is why he's in
such a good mood tonight.

Oh! I love a happy ending.

Yeah.

Craig! Rory!

[exhales]
Where have you been?

We left as soon
as we got out.

Shh! The baby's upstairs,
sleeping.

Okay, sorry.

Everything go okay?

-How's the baby?
-He's fine...

...but I'm really worried.
What if they--

They won't. I promise.

-[car approaches]
-Dude--

Tell me you didn't.

I didn't!
I didn't! I swear.

We've got
to get out of here now.

-It's too late.
-It's not.

[♪♪♪]

They're here.

[John]: I'm gonna see
how much birthday magic

I can squeeze out of the day.

I plan to propose
to Aida again.

Ho-ho!
You are a persistent man.

How many times
will that be?

Four.

Well, five, if you count
the time I did it by email.

But tonight,

it'll be roses, champagne,
and back down on one knee.

I should've bought you
knee pads for your birthday.

You should
get some for yourself.

Teagarden women don't like
to give up their independence.

If you want
Roe to marry you,

then you might
want to get started.

[laughing]

Well, you gentlemen seem
to be enjoying one other.

Oh, it's
the latest meeting

of the "Teagarden
Women Fan Club."

Oh! Well, thank you.

Are you having fun?

I'm having a fabulous time.
Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Thanks for inviting
Regina to stay.

Oh, you seemed
so happy to see her.

Oh, I am. I am.

She was always
such a great kid.

She's the one
who made me look forward

to being a dad someday.

We've never really had
the "kid" talk yet,

have we?

[stammers]

I always assumed
I would have kids.

Someday.

Hey!

Wasn't Regina
driving a red car?

Yes, she was.

I'm gonna go see
if Regina and the baby

are still in the house.

[♪♪♪]

[gasps]

Martin!

What the...?

It looks like the man
in the picture Regina showed us.

I think
that's her husband...

-I think he's dead.
-Regina!

[Martin, shouting]:
Regina? Regina!

Her bag's still here,

but Regina
and the baby are gone.

They could've
been abducted.

Or, if they got into a fight,
maybe she killed him.

I'm calling the police.

Wait, wait, wait.
Let me think.

Martin.

Whatever happened to Regina,
we have to find her.

She's in trouble.

You're right.

You're right.
Call them.

[radio crackling indistinctly]

Lynn, would you like
some tea or coffee?

No, thank you.

I am curious, though,

if you think it's finally time
to sell this house.

Why would I sell my house?

Because it seems
to attract dead bodies.

Then again,
maybe that's just you.

I thought you had

a security system
installed in here?

She had it taken out.

I told you,

I didn't want to feel
like a prisoner in my own home.

Well, you might want
to reconsider.

The I.D. in the wallet
of the deceased

says his name
is Craig Walker.

The car in the driveway

is registered
to the same name.

That's my niece's
husband.

You're sure about that?
They were married?

She showed us
their wedding picture.

Did she happen to say that
they weren't getting along?

No. No, she--

No, it was
the opposite.

She seemed proud
to show us the photos.

Called him handsome,

pointed out how much
the baby looked like him.

Look, I just don't think

we should be rushing
to judgment here.

My niece
may have been kidnapped.

Which is why
we're asking these questions.

You said
she left a bag.

Can we see it?

You know,
it seems really strange

that Regina left her purse,

no matter how big
of a hurry she was in.

Yeah, that does
make it seem

more like
a kidnapping.

Or she could have
staged it.

This is why we don't speculate
in front of civilians

on open cases.

Right. I...

I'll take this
to forensics.

Then I'll help with
the search downstairs.

[sighs] There's nothing
but clothes in here.

Well, nothing but shirts
and blouses, anyway.

So, no pants?

No. No pants...

no socks, nothing.

So, maybe like

she just emptied
one drawer into that bag,

like she was leaving
in a big rush?

We'll be back
to finish searching.

Maybe more evidence
will turn up.

In the meantime,

I need you to try and remember
everything that Regina told you

about why she showed up here.

I pretty much told you
everything.

Well, is it "pretty much"
everything,

or was it actually everything?

I thought Arthur was
handling this investigation.

He will.

He's just never been
the lead detective

on a murder investigation
before, and I'm...

[babbling]

What was that?

[baby cooing]

I think it's coming
from in there.

[baby cooing]

Regina
left her baby.

[♪♪♪]

[radio cracking indistinctly]

[Arthur]: Okay, this doesn't
make any sense.

[Lynn]: I mean,
why would your niece

leave her baby in the tub?

They-They must have
been trying to hide him.

[Arthur]: From whom?
Her husband?

Well, if they were
fighting over him...

Then why leave him behind
after he was dead?

[befuddled sigh]

The most important
question is,

what are we gonna
do with him now?

Well, we can call
Social Services.

What will
they do with him?

First, they'll try

to place him
with a relative,

until we can find
the mother.

I'm a relative.
He should stay with me.

What?

You're gonna
take care of that baby?

You'll help me, right?

Yeah-- Yeah, I'm happy to help.
I just...

I don't know that much
about taking care of babies.

[Martin]: Neither do I,

but I'm sure we can
figure it out for one night.

Besides, Craig's grandparents
are in Corinth, right?

We can take the baby
to them tomorrow.

You said you needed
next-of-kin info--

my phone's in the kitchen.

Great.

See? There you go.

[Hayden fussing]

Oh, um...

Do you have any advice?

[Hayden cries]

Well... for starters,

he needs a diaper change.

Oh! Oh...

Um...

You're a mother.

You know how.

Well, I think
you'll figure it out.

Did you come
with an instruction book?

Because I am very good
with books.

[Hayden fusses]

Oh, John.

What are you doing?

I've had
a wonderful birthday, Aida,

but I still have
one more birthday wish.

You know...

I carry this
with me everywhere.

And I will keep carrying it
until the day you say yes.

Aida, will you
do me the honor--

[phone rings]

It's Aurora. Hello?

Mother? I need help.

I'll be right there.

We have to go.

Okay, so you can take the tab,
but you tuck the front in,

and put it on the side,
right--

no, tighter.

A-Are you sure?
That's not gonna hurt him?

No, you have to make it
tight enough

so that the diaper doesn't
fall off the child.

Here, let me show you.

He's so cute.

Oh, my gosh.

Yes.

Okay, so you wrap it like this,

and you make it nice and tight,

so it's nice and snug, right?

Yes!

[scoffs] Aurora,
you're not even watching.

What? No.
Yeah. I saw.

I just need to figure out

who killed
this poor baby's father,

and find his mother.

Well, being with him right now
is much more important

than anything
that's going on out there.

Yeah, you're right.

[police radios crackling]

But would you watch him?

Just-- Just for a minute?

I don't mind.

[indulgently]:
I don't mind at all, do I?

No, I don't.

[Lynn]: All right. Thanks.

Your niece's husband,
Craig Walker,

was just released from
county jail this morning.

He was there for two days.

[Martin]:
What was the charge?

Check fraud.

Well, at least that's not
a violent crime.

The neighbor to the north was
walking their dog around 6:30,

he said he saw a red car
pull out of the driveway.

Yeah, Regina
drives a red sedan.

Well, he saw
two people in the car.

The driver was a woman,
long hair, light in color.

What about
the passenger?

All he saw was shadows.

He couldn't tell
if it was a man or a woman.

That sounds like
a kidnapping to me.

Whoever killed Craig
forced Regina to go with him.

Or it could have been
her accomplice in the murder.

We're just going
to have to wait and see.

I was just about to say that.

That's all for now.

[Aida]: Okay, the baby
is sound asleep,

and I made an extra bottle
and put it in the fridge.

How will I know
when to give it to him?

Oh, he'll let you know
when he's hungry.

He has complete faith in you.

So do I.

Thank you
for staying late.

Mm. Call me
if you need anything, okay?

Let us know if
we can help in any way.

I'm sure your niece
will be found safe.

Thanks, John.

Good night.

Whoever killed Craig may
be coming back for that baby.

I'm staying in
the guest room tonight.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

[Aurora cries out]

Aurora? What's the matter?

Found another body!

What?

Hey.

Ah!

[grunts]

What is going on?

That's what
you're gonna tell me.

-Who are you?
-I'm Rory!

I'm Rory Brown.
I'm Craig's friend.

[grunts]

You came here
with Craig?

Yeah, that's right.

We got let out of
the county jail this morning.

We drove down
to see Regina.

Just ask her!

Regina's not here.

W-- Where is she?

That's a good
question.

Who're you hiding from
in the closet?

You don't have to look
at me like that.

Just ask Craig.

Craig's not here either.

Craig's dead.

Someone shot him.

No.

No, that can't be true.

[shouts]: Craig!
Craig! Where are you?

Hey, Craig. Craig!
We gotta get outta here!

He's gone.
He was shot on the porch.

There's blood...

[quiet gasp]

[voice cracks]:
He's really dead?

I'm getting my phone
and calling Lynn.

Please--
please, don't do that.

[hushed]: Martin,

we have to call the police
and let them deal with that...

guy.

If we do,

they'll take him into custody,

and I won't be able to get
anything out of him.

What do you expect
to get out of him?

He knows
who took Regina.

Why else was he hiding
in that closet?

I just need to convince him
to tell me.

He may seem harmless,

but we don't really know
how dangerous he is.

I can handle him.

I let Regina down before.

After her mother died,
I wasn't there for her.

I need to be here for her.
I need to find her.

Just give me
a few hours with him

to see
what he might tell me.

You can go upstairs,
get some sleep,

and, in the morning,
if you still want to call Lynn,

I won't try to talk you
out of it.

I won't.

Okay.

[♪♪♪]

I'm pretty sure the Chief
never shadowed you

when it was your case.

Well, maybe I'm
a different kind of Chief.

Maybe I'm the kind
that rolls up my sleeves

and pitches in.

Yeah... or...

maybe you just don't think
I can get the job done right.

Arthur... no.

I know you're a good detective.

I just...

I don't know how
to stop being one yet.

Well, if that's all this is,
then...

I'm happy to work together
on this case.

You're a good detective.

And even better husband.

Yes, I am.

Now come on.

Let's do this.

[knocking]

Can I help you?

[Arthur]: Are you
Thelma Walker?

Grandmother
of Craig Walker?

Yes.

I'm Detective Arthur Smith

of the Lawrenceton
Police Department.

This is Captain Smith.

I'm afraid
we have some bad news.

We told Craig
over and over again,

"If you don't fly right,

it's gonna come back
to bite you."

Never thought
it would bite this hard.

[Thelma]: No.

Craig didn't always
follow the rules...

His record
shows six arrests.

For little things...

like, shoplifting.

We did the best we could,

raising him after
his mom and dad passed away.

And he had a good heart.

I can't imagine
who'd want to hurt him.

Well, I'm sure the baby
will be a big comfort to you.

Baby?

[♪♪♪]

Morning!

Morning.

Get any sleep?

Uh, some.
How about you?

Nope. I was
watching Rory all night.

I started a bottle.

Oh, thank you.

So what did you find out
from him?

He was very forthcoming

about his bad
check-writing spree with Craig.

But he swears he has no idea
who killed him,

or took Regina.

Maybe he really doesn't know.

No, he knows.
I'm sure of that.

Well, then maybe Lynn and Arthur
can find out the truth from him.

Um, i-if we call the police,

he'll go back to jail

for violating the terms
of his release,

which includes ending
his association with Craig...

Oh, please don't say what
I think you're going to say.

If I can gain his trust

by not calling
the police,

and having him tag along with us
to Corinth,

then maybe
he'll feel comfortable enough

to tell us who showed up here
yesterday

and scared him so badly,

he ended up
in your closet.

Maybe he was hiding
in the closet

because he's the one
that shot Craig.

I thought about that.

But do you remember his reaction
when we told him Craig was dead?

Did that seem
manufactured to you?

No.

But either way,

you said that you wouldn't
stop me from calling Lynn.

I'm not.

I'm just asking...

what if it were
Sally that went missing?

Or your mom?

Hey. What
are you doing?

Oh, uh, I was-- I was

seeing how many diapers
the little guy had left.

Is that
coffee I smell?

Hi, little guy!

[♪♪♪]

Care to explain this?

Uh, it's a load of cash.

Yeah. It's $10,000.

Found it in the diaper bag.

And I found him
looking for it.

Where'd this money
come from, Rory?

Look, I've tried
the "good cop" routine with you.

You do not want to see
my bad side.

Martin, no.

Okay, okay,
it came from the bad checks.

Craig was gonna pay the midwife
who delivered Hayden.

Midwife?

Regina didn't deliver him
at a hospital?

No, ma'am.

She wanted to do it
all natural.

But I guess
a midwife isn't cheap,

and he still owed her
a lot of money.

You expect us to believe

that you wrote
a string of bad checks

to pay for a midwife?

Well, I never met her
or anything.

[Aurora]: I don't think I put
Hayden's diaper on tight enough.

It's leaking,

and I didn't see
any other sleepers

to change him into,

so, um...

um, here.

What?

Watch him,
please?

I'm gonna go to the store
and buy him a new sleeper.

You're just going to leave me
here with him?

Yes, "Uncle Martin."

Bottle's right there.

But... he's leaking!

What if he cries?

Mm. He hardly ever cries.

Nobody's asking you.

[♪♪♪]

Here's the key Mr. Walker
gave us to enter the house.

[woman]: Excuse me.

Hi. Um...

[stammers]

I can't help but notice
the police car.

Is everything okay
with Craig and Regina?

Oh, thanks for going with me
to get the baby stuff.

I'm not sure
how much help I was.

It's hardly my area
of expertise.

Are you sure we got
the right size?

Well, it says "newborn."
He's brand-new, isn't he?

Yeah, but he's heavy.

I mean, he must be heavy

because my arms are already
sore from carrying him.

You know, last night,
Martin asked me

if I wanted to have
children someday,

and I said "yes."

And now
I'm just overwhelmed

buying a baby
a sleeper!

So tell me more
about this Rory guy.

You're really not
gonna turn him over

to Lynn and Arthur?

I know, we should,

but Martin's
probably right.

Our best hope of
getting this kid

to tell us
anything he knows

is to earn his trust.

And I don't think he's gonna
trust anyone with a badge.

Plus, Martin's C.I.A.

He knows how
to get information.

That makes sense.

It's just...

my editor wants me
to write about this case

and I think I'm gonna
have a hard time

pretending to know
nothing about Rory

when I meet with Arthur
in five minutes.

Yeah, you really do

have the world's
worst poker face.

[heavy sigh] I know.

A reporter needs
a poker face!

Anyway,
I have to go.

I have to find out

if there are any new
developments in my case.

Well, I'll go with you.

I can stop you
if you start to blab.

Oh, good idea.

[♪♪♪]

Oh!

Hey, Arthur.

We're just coming to see you
for that interview.

Oh, hey.

I am gonna need
a few minutes.

We just got back
from Corinth.

Something odd came up.

[Lynn]: You're gonna to need
more than a few minutes,

so you should
probably reschedule.

Wait! What came up?
What's going on in Corinth?

Craig's grandparents
had no idea

Regina was expecting a baby.

[♪♪♪]

What?

[Martin]: So I went upstairs
to put the baby down for a nap,

I come back down,
Rory's gone.

I'm pretty sure
he's headed back to Corinth.

Well, we're just gonna have
to find him there, then.

I'm still trying to make sense
of what Arthur told me.

Could Rory have made up
that she delivered to a midwife?

Did Craig and Regina
adopt a baby?

You said Rory was adamant
she had that baby.

Well, it's pretty clear now
that the guy can't be trusted.

Maybe Craig's grandparents
will give us some clues.

[♪♪♪]

Ballistics just came back.

Craig Walker had
a .270-caliber bullet

in his chest.

That is a big bullet.

That is a bullet
from a hunting rifle.

Can you picture
Bartell's 22-year-old niece

carting around a newborn
and a rifle?

Doesn't fit.

Yeah.

Corinth P.D. gave us
Walker's arrest records.

In his last arrest,
three days ago,

check fraud?

Apparently he had
a partner in crime.

Rory Brown.

He was released the same day
as Walker.

Rory Brown, huh?

I wonder where he is.

Good question.

I told Craig

that Rory Brown
is a bad influence,

but did he
listen to me? No.

And now he's dead.

I don't know why Craig
didn't tell us

Regina was expecting.

Unless he's not the father.

[Ed]: Ah, Rory spent

a little too much time
hanging around Regina.

Regina told us

she thought the baby
looked very much like Craig.

Do you think he does, Ed?

[chuckles warmly]

We thought
you might like

to spend some time
with the baby.

Maybe have him
stay here with you?

Well, I don't...
I mean...

We want him
to have a good home.

My husband isn't well,
and...

And it's just
not the right time.

All right.

If you're Regina's uncle,

maybe you should be the one
to keep the baby?

Me? Uh, well...

I think
he'll need some time

to think about
that, too.

Do you have any idea

where we might
find Rory?

You could try his mother's.

Or, like I said before,

he spent lot of time
at Craig and Regina's.

They rent the place from us.

Oh!

Do you think we could
stop by there?

We need to find

anything that will
lead us to Regina.

And to help us bring
whoever killed your grandson

to justice.

I'll get the key for you.

Hey, if you give me

the key Craig's
grandfather gave you,

I can check
the house out for Rory.

Excuse me?

Hello? Uh...

I'm Margaret Granberry,

and I just have to ask

if you've heard anything
about Regina?

We've been worrying
over it all day.

You know Regina?

I do.

We talked to the police
this morning,

and they told us
what happened to Craig,

and that they didn't know
what happened to Regina.

Oh, it's just awful!

Yeah.

Unfortunately,
Regina's still missing.

Oh.

That's my friend, Cathy.

She's so upset
about Regina, too.

I thought
I saw a little baby.

Can I take a look?

Ohh!

What a cutie!

Can I hold him?

Uh, let me
introduce you

before you go
grabbing her baby.

[awkward chuckling]

This is Cathy Davis.
And you are?

Aurora Teagarden.

Oh.

Uh, and that's
Regina's Uncle Martin.

Oh...

he looks worried sick.

Hi. Rory's not here.

I'm gonna check
his mom's house.

Door's open.

Oh, I think he's hungry.

I'd better go inside
and give him a bottle.

If you'd like help,
I'd just love to.

Oh! Uh...

[sighs]

Yeah, help would be nice.

Here, let me take that
for you.

I bet you don't give
anyone any trouble at all,

do you, angel?

She has baby fever.

We're trying to have a baby, but
it just hasn't happened.

I was made to be a mother
and my husband a father.

Your baby looks
like your husband.

Oh, that wasn't my husband.

And that's not my baby.
That's Regina's baby, Hayden.

I didn't know
Regina was pregnant.

Did you know that,
Margaret?

[Margaret]: Well, the police
stopped by this morning

and said she'd had a baby.

I mean, I told them I didn't
see how it was possible.

I suppose I thought she'd gained
a little weight, but...

When was the last time
you talked to her?

Uh, maybe a month,
two months?

So you weren't close?

Well, we talked
quite a bit

when they first moved
in here last fall, but...

Well, I met her
a few times.

I can't remember
the last time I saw her,

but I think I would've
noticed a baby bump.

I mean, I notice
all baby bumps.

Mm.

Aren't babies just
the most magical creatures?

See what I mean?

Baby fever.

[station chatter]

Hi. I'm Sally Allison.
Lawrenceton Times.

Oh, I know who you are,
Miss Allison.

I have an appointment
to interview Detective Smith,

and, oh...

I think I see him now,
so I'll just go on back.

I've been asked to escort
you to your meeting.

Oh, okay.

Hey. You heard anything
from Corinth on Rory Brown yet?

Nope. Nothing.

Well, I got a call into
Craig Walker's public defender.

-A guy named Alan Perkins.
-Alan Perkins?

I know that name!

I interviewed him
for a story once.

Hi, Lynn!

Sorry, Detective.
She got away from me.

That's okay.
She does that.

Hey, Sally.
A story on what?

Well, it, was...

...About
an illegal adoption ring.

Wait. As in baby adoption?

Yes.

You'd better head
back up to Corinth.

Yeah, I'll follow up
on Rory Brown while I'm there.

-Rory Brown?
-Yes.

Why?

Nothing, I just...

think the name is interesting.

Can I tag along with you
for my story?

Yeah, I don't think
that's a good idea.

Well, it's her lead...

And it's my case.

Okay. Fine.
You, don't get in the way.

I mean it!

Okay. Let's go.

[Hayden crying]

Rory's nowhere
to be found.

I think it's time
to give up on Rory.

Oh, no.

I'm going to find
that slippery kid.

And no more trying
to reason with him

so he'll talk to me.

[Hayden crying]

He's wet.

Do you mind getting a sleeper
out of the diaper bag,

and a diaper?

Whoa. You got a lot of stuff.

I know.
I had to buy him everything.

So tiny.

Wait, Martin...

I had to buy him
all new clothes because...

Regina didn't pack him any.

And I looked through
the whole house.

There-- There isn't a crib,
there isn't a bassinet,

there isn't anything in here

that says Craig and Regina
were expecting a baby.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I think
Regina kidnapped this baby.

Hey, thanks for coming.

I called you guys,
because--

Because Roe has this theory

that Regina kidnapped
somebody else's baby,

which is absurd.

[Arthur]: Well... maybe not.

So the attorney who
represented Craig Walker

with his check fraud

is the same attorney
who represented

the leader of
an illegal adoption ring.

I wrote a story on it.
I had to interview him!

I knew it!
See? That would explain so much.

No. Regina did not
take someone else's child.

Martin, I know
it's hard to believe

that Regina could
do such a thing,

and I really hope
that it's not true,

but she didn't have
any baby clothes,

and there are no baby
things in that house.

But if Regina snatched him
from someone,

and came to hide out
at Uncle Martin's,

and the real parents
followed her there...

Which is not what happened.

[Arthur]: Well, we can find out
with a DNA test, okay?

I'll get a tech out here to get
a sample from you and the baby.

The tests are fast,

we'll know pretty quickly
if you guys are related.

Yeah, and if you're not,

that would give us a motive
for Craig's murder.

Or a motive
for taking Regina.

I mean, if she convinced them

that the baby wasn't with her,
that he was somewhere else,

they'd want to take her
for leverage to get him back.

Uh-huh. And what about
the money in the diaper bag?

How would it
explain that?

Wait.

What money?

We found $10,000
in Hayden's diaper bag.

But Rory said that Craig
was gonna use the money

to pay the midwife
to deliver the... baby.

Rory?

As in Rory Brown?
You've talked to him?

We found him hiding
in my linen closet last night.

What? And--

You're just
telling me this now?

That was my doing.

I thought I could
get him to talk to me.

It was a bad decision.

He gave me the slip.

You found a guy hiding
in your house after a murder,

making him the prime suspect
in that murder,

and you chose not to tell me?
I mean, that's...

obstruction of justice!
I--

Ohh!

If you weren't Aurora's...

I-I don't even know.

I've never seen Arthur mad.
Have you seen Arthur mad?

Rory was no longer a suspect
in my mind.

I conducted a thorough search
of Roe's house

and the grounds,
for a gun,

ruling him out.

Wait. I didn't know that.
You didn't tell me.

Okay. Okay.
Here's what we're gonna do.

[cell rings]

Just...

Yeah, Lynn.

Sorry. "Chief."

Um... what?

Where?

Yeah. I'll...
I'll be right there.

A state trooper
just found Regina's car,

abandoned in the woods

off Route 36 somewhere
between here and Lawrenceton.

I've gotta get out there.

Can one of you guys
drive Sally home?

I'm going with you.

Hey! Call me!
Tell me what you find.

I will.

[♪♪♪]

Being a mom must give you
fabulously toned arms.

Hey, it's not
5:00 yet, is it?

It is...

4:30. Why?

Well...

I want to talk to that lawyer
you interviewed,

the one
that represented Craig.

Should we?

But look at
this little baby.

[fussing]

What if he really
was kidnapped,

and what if
his real mom

is out there,
desperately looking,

wanting to know
where he is?

You're right.

You're right.
I'm gonna call

and see if we can
get in today.

[fussing]

Oh, uh...

He... He's
probably hungry.

Or... wet.

Um, okay, just make it
for tomorrow morning.

[cries]

[radio crackles indistinctly]

[♪♪♪]

[radios crackling]

Hey, Smith!

This guy is saying
he's with you?

Let him through.

I thought I told you
to wait by the car.

I need to do everything I can
to find my niece.

Any sign of her?

A dozen troopers are out there,
fanning the woods,

but, so far, nothing.

Do you mind
if I have a look?

No.

[♪♪♪]

Arthur?

Yeah?

Look at
these leaf piles.

I don't think nature
left them like this.

That's another set
of tire tracks.

Somebody went to some trouble
to cover these up.

Looks like they transferred
Regina to another vehicle.

I'll get somebody out here
to take an impression

of these tracks.

[♪♪♪]

[Aurora, on phone]:
So there were no clues

to what happened
to Regina's car?

No. But it was found
on the road to Corinth,

which means that's probably
there they're headed back to.

So that's where I'm going.

Tonight?

I'm not gonna sleep
until I find her.

Arthur's gonna drop me off
at your place

so I can pick up my truck.

Well, what about your end
of the DNA test?

A lab guy came out
to get a sample from Hayden.

Arthur had the guy
meet me here to get the test.

He says it'll be
about 24 hours.

Oh. Oh, well, that's good.

Hey... Sorry I can't be there to
help you with the baby.

Oh, it's okay. I understand.

Thank you.

I love you.
More than you know.

I love you, too.

[♪♪♪]

[thumping]

[♪♪♪]

[phone rings]

Ohh.

Martin.
Martin, there's somebody here.

Yeah, I know, that's why
I'm calling you back.

I asked Arthur to station
a squad car at your place.

Make sure

you and Hayden
are safe.

Oh... okay.

[exhales in relief]

Oh!

Hope I didn't scare you.

Just making sure the house
is locked up tight.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

Mother! It's just me.

I'm in the office.

Hey. I need a favor.

Whatever happened

to "Hi, Mother.
How are you today?"

Oh. Sorry.

Sally's mom was supposed
to babysit Hayden,

but when I went over there,
she was coughing,

and, well, I don't want
to get the baby sick, and...

and you, you're never sick.

You want me to babysit.

Well, just for an hour or so.

I have to show a house
in an hour.

Oh! Then that's perfect.

You can just drop him off
at the library on your way back.

I work from 10:00 to 1:00 today.

Aurora, you can't assume
that I'd be--

Oh.

How can I resist
this little bugaroo?

I just can't!

I just can't resist you,
can I?

[chuckles] Oh.

I'll see you in an hour.

[gushing]: Yes.

Yes! Ooh. You are so cute!

[♪♪♪]

I don't understand
what you're asking.

If there's any connection
between Craig Walker

and the leader
of the adoption ring

that you defended
a few years back.

Why would you think there's
a connection between them?

It seems kind of a coincidence
that you'd represent both.

I represent
all kinds of people.

I'm a public defender.

Mr. Perkins, you defended
a man who was just killed

after his wife showed up
at my house

with a baby
that probably isn't hers.

Now do you see
the coincidence?

No.

[♪♪♪]

Aida! How nice to see you.

You too, Lillian.

Please tell me
my daughter is here.

Oh. No, her shift starts
in six minutes.

[sighs] I really don't want
to be late for my meeting.

Yes, there's nothing
more irritating than tardiness.

Lillian...

Could I prevail upon you

to keep an eye
on this darling little boy

for the next six minutes?

He really
is a sweetheart.

Look how adorable.

Oh... Well, he doesn't
seem overly troublesome.

[chuckles] Thank you!

I'm sure Aurora
will be here any moment.

Goodbye, my handsome boy!

Yes.

You are a handsome boy!

Hi. Yes. Hello.

[elevator bell dings]

Did you believe him?

Well, why would you
think he's lying?

Well, he's
a public defender,

he doesn't make much.

He might think
he deserves a little extra

for connecting
his clients to each other.

Sometimes you have
a very cynical mind.

An open mind!

Perkins might be an honest guy,
he might not be.

Well, how are we
supposed to know?

I could tell you.

Oh! Jason. Dell.

Perry's cousin,
remember?

Yeah.

What are you
doing here?

Ah, I'm here
to see Mr. Perkins.

How do you know him?

He used to be my lawyer
back in the day.

Got me and a friend of mine
out of some trouble.

Now I do a mentor program
with him,

it's like a "Big Brother"
sort of thing.

Good for the kids.

Oh, that's
really sweet.

W-- Wait a minute.

Are all of you Dell boys
in... with criminals?

-Sally.
-Well, I--

It's okay.

Perry and I certainly had
our run-ins with the law,

but we're both on
the straight and narrow now.

You can ask Perkins.

He's the one who talked us
into the good deed thing.

Oh, he did?

Yeah, so that should probably
answer your question about him.

My question?

Well, weren't you wondering
whether if he was an honest guy?

Oh, right.

Perry'll tell you the same thing
when he's back in town.

Him and my buddy, Rory.

Wait. Rory?

You don't mean
Rory Brown, do you?

I do.

Him and I were in juvenile
detention at the same time.

He's also a client of Perkins.

Jason knows Rory Brown!

[Lillian]:
I just changed his diaper.

[Aurora]: Well, thank you
for doing that for me.

Oh, I didn't do it for you,
I did it for him.

Aurora?

Why didn't you call and tell me

that you were getting to work
late today?

[Aurora]: How did you
know I was--?

I feel terrible
that I left him here,

thinking you were going
to be here any minute.

I'm sorry,
but-but he was fine.

Lillian took
very good care of him.

I took excellent
care of him.

You can't just pass
a baby around like a hot potato.

You need to set up a schedule,
give him a routine.

I can look after him
on my days off. He likes me.

Well, he adores me!

And I think I can find
the time to spend with him.

Uh, I appreciate that.

In fact, why don't I
take one of you up

on that offer right now?

[both]: Oh!

So all of that--

no one knowing
Regina was pregnant,

no baby things
in the house,

no delivering
at a hospital--

it all points to Regina
kidnapping that baby.

But why? They were young,
why not have a kid of their own?

Well, Roe thinks they may
have planned to offer him

to one of those adoption rings
I wrote about a while back.

I read
that story.

You said wealthy couples

who want to bypass
normal channels

might pay $50,000 or more
to get a baby.

I heard of one couple
that paid $200,000.

The woman had
a criminal history.

No judge was going
to approve that adoption.

That might explain
the money in the diaper bag.

Craig and Regina could've
been given a downpayment

to procure a baby.

Why don't I look for
news reports of missing babies?

Well, as the mayor,
I do have connections

inside
the county records office.

He can tell me

if a birth certificate
was filed

with Regina Walker's name on it
anywhere in the state.

I was gonna look into that
at the library tomorrow,

but if you can find it out
faster...

Hey, Roe, didn't Craig's friend
say the money in the diaper bag

was to pay a midwife?

Yeah, but we think
he was lying.

Okay.

I remember,
from my story research,

that there are shady midwives
that couples can pay

to file false
birth certificates.

Well, then we should start
looking into midwives.

Especially the shady kind.

It's too bad Perry Dell
isn't in town.

I'm sure he could
give you some insight

on how to go about that.

Well... we don't have Perry,

but we have his cousin, Jason,
helping us out.

Doing what?

He's helping Martin
track down Rory Brown.

All right, guys, thank you.

Okay, so I figured if Rory
was gonna look up anybody,

it'd be those guys.

And?

They saw him
last night.

Told him he should
go talk to the cops,

that it'd be better
than chasing after them.

Uh-huh.

Rory's not the brightest bulb,
you know?

He was always
a fear-based person,

even back in juvie.

Jason, do these guys know
where Rory is or not?

Yeah. Yeah, they said he's
staying at his old boss's place.

Place called Hollister's.

You know the one?

No, I don't know Hollister's.

Oh, it's a bar down the street.

I think we passed it
on the way.

Okay.

Let's go.

Well, what were the odds
we were gonna find

the midwife's number

just lying around
the house anyway?

Well, it was
worth a shot.

You know, while
we're in Corinth,

I could use a few quotes

from people who knew
Craig and Regina.

Do you mind introducing
me to the neighbors?

Oh. Okay.

Great.

Are they nice?

Yeah.

[doorbell chimes]

Aurora Teagarden. Hello!

Hi.

I hope you're here to tell us
they found Regina.

No, sorry.

I'm here because
my friend, Sally Allison,

she's a reporter for
the Lawrenceton Times.

I was wondering if I could
ask you a few questions,

if you've got a moment?

Oh! The lady
with the baby's here?

You didn't bring the baby
with you?

Oh, no, Cathy. I...

You didn't hand him over
to foster care, did you?

No.

No, he's back
in Lawrenceton.

[relieved sigh]

Who made you
the baby police anyway?

Just because
you don't want kids, Margaret...

Would cramp her style.

Might get in the way
of the big trip to Europe

that they've been planning.

Okay, stop.

Well, I was thinking,

maybe we could just
start with--

Excuse me. I'll be
back in a minute.

There's something I forgot
I need to do next door.

[♪♪♪]

So, we could just start with
your names for the record.

Sure.

[♪♪♪]

[sighs] Electric bill.

[Sally]: You're not sure
the last time you saw Regina,

but what about Craig?

Luther, honey,

we're being interviewed
by the Lawrenceton Times.

Why's that woman climbing
into Craig and Regina's trash?

[♪♪♪]

Cell phone bill!

You know, I think I have
all the information that I need.

Thank you so much for your time.

[line ringing]

I'm gonna pretend
I don't know you now.

Hello. You've reached the office
of Bobbie Sunday,

Certified Midwife.

I'm not in the office
right now,

but please leave
a detailed message.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, Bob. Looking for Rory.
Heard he was here.

He is.

Just put him
to work.

Thank you.

Well, if it isn't
Rory Brown.

Jason Dell!
Are you kidding me?

-We got--
-[slam]

[Martin]: Rory, open the door!
I just want to talk to you!

Just leave me alone!

[Jason]: Come on, Rory,
just talk to the guy!

He's going out the window.

[♪♪♪]

[Sally]: So Craig called that
midwife four times in one day?

[Aurora]: That's why
I called that number first.

Okay, but if he called
that many times,

doesn't that seem like
a husband nervous

because his wife is in labor?

Or a man nervous that his wife
just kidnapped a baby,

and needs a midwife
to file a fake birth certificate

so they can pretend that
they're giving their own kid up

to the illegal adoption ring.

But Terry told us
her contact at county services

didn't find a birth certificate
anywhere in the state

for a "Hayden Walker."

Maybe the midwife wouldn't
file the birth certificate

until Craig
gave her enough money.

Maybe Rory was telling
the truth about that.

[♪♪♪]

That looks like Rory.

Is that Jason?

[brakes screech]

[♪♪♪]

I could've killed you!

Yeah. Thank you for stopping.

What are you two
doing in Corinth?

Well, we're trying
to find the midwife

Rory was talking about.

We have a pretty good lead.

Wait, I thought
you didn't believe

Regina delivered that baby.

She doesn't.

She thinks Craig
was going to pay the midwife

to give them
a fake birth certificate

that they could use
to put the baby they kidnapped

up for adoption.

[sighing] Roe...

I know.

The little girl
you carried on your back

could never do
something like that.

You know, I could try

some of my contacts to see
if she has any connections

with private
adoption attorneys.

Yes, please do that.

He got away from me.

Man, that kid
is fast.

Well, thanks
for trying.

He must know something
really messed up

to make him
run that fast.

What if he was running

because he's the one
that did something messed up?

Maybe we were too quick
to rule him out as a suspect.

What if he's involved
in the adoption ring,

and he got in a fight with Craig
over dividing up the cash?

I don't know.
Rory's sketchy,

but he's really not
that kind of guy.

Yeah, but can you be sure?

Got a text from Arthur.

Wants to meet me.

Maybe he knows
something about Regina.

"We can meet at..."
your house?

Okay.

Something just
isn't adding up.

[Arthur]: So we know the type
of hunting rifle

Craig's killer used,

and we have the model
of the tires from the vehicle

used to transport Regina.

Plus, we have an APB
out on Rory Brown,

which wouldn't
have been necessary

if you had called
when you found him.

Well, if I do find him,
you'll be the first to know.

Oh, I don't want you
looking for him.

You're just pushing him
further into hiding.

He's more afraid of you
than he is of me.

-[frustrated chuckle]
-Okay.

Okay, okay.

We also got the results back
from the DNA test.

Baby Hayden is definitely
related to Martin.

He's Regina's baby.

So it wasn't
a kidnapping.

That doesn't make sense.

Nobody knew
she was pregnant.

The birth
wasn't registered.

So Rory was
telling the truth,

she did use a midwife
for the delivery.

That phone bill
that you found

at Regina's house--

What phone bill?

Um, I was gonna
give it to you.

I was!

I found it stuck to the side
of a trash can.

I called the number
right there.

It belongs to a midwife
named Bobbie Sunday.

She's in Taborville,
it's between here and Corinth.

So maybe the midwife

waited to register
baby Hayden's birth

until she got
what she was owed.

Well, that's the first question
I'm gonna ask her tomorrow.

No!

Do not go
and talk to the midwife.

No medical practitioner
can legally

give you any information
on a patient.

It's called confidentiality.
Maybe you've heard of it?

We'll get a subpoena
for Regina's records

in the morning,

but thank you
for passing this on.

[Arthur quietly
clears his throat]

Oh, yes.

Thank you, Roe, for
your trash-digging talents.

Really?

Listen.

I will call you as soon as
we learn anything new.

Okay?

You're gonna
go to Corinth

to try and find Rory
tonight, aren't you?

[♪♪♪]

[Aurora]: I have to say,

it's really nice
having a baby around.

Yes.

Babies make
your heart grow.

[weary sigh]

It's also exhausting
having a baby around.

I never knew how much time
and effort they take.

Even when he's sleeping,

I feel like
I can't leave the room.

Which... is why
I got you these.

Mother...

This may be the best gift
you have ever given me.

[♪♪♪]

I just talked to a guy
who saw Rory about an hour ago.

He was buying beer at a market
on the East side of town.

That's where
we'll head to next.

All right.

[♪♪♪]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Roe? Did I wake you?

Mm-hmm.

Never mind, one of
my sources just told me

that Bobbie Sunday
has been investigated twice

for filing inaccurate
birth certificates

in private adoptions.

Really? Okay,
then we shouldn't wait

for Arthur
to get that subpoena.

Well, I'm ready
to go talk to her

whenever you are.

Uh, okay, yeah,

it'll just take me a minute
to get the baby ready

and drop him off
at Mother's.

Just have
John go with you now,

and I'll get there
as soon as I can.

Okay. Great.

What in the world?

I'm with the press.

Thank you.

That's the best number
to reach me at.

Excuse me,
are you Bobbie Sunday?

Yes.

Hi. I'm Sally Allison.

I'm a reporter with
the Lawrenceton Times.

This is my associate,
John Queensland.

Can you tell us
what happened here?

Uh, the police officer said
it was a burglary.

Or vandalism.

Or both.

[sighs]

My records room
has been ransacked.

Why are you so interested
in my office?

Because whoever broke
into your office

might be
looking to hurt... you.

[♪♪♪]

[Sally]:
Oh, good, Roe's here.

I got here as fast
as I could.

Who would do such a thing?
And why?

Bobbie, hi.

I'm Aurora Teagarden.

Another associate of mine.

I'm so sorry
that this has happened,

but we believe
the break-in

was to cover

the tracks of the person
that killed Craig Walker

in Lawrenceton

and kidnapped his wife, Regina.

You knew them...

didn't you?

We also believe

that the murder also involved
their baby,

a baby
we think you delivered.

Look... [sighs]

I don't want any trouble.

Bobbie, we just
want to help you.

And protect you.

So, please, tell us.

Did you deliver
Craig and Regina's baby?

Yes.

Why didn't
you register the birth?

Was it because
they owed you money?

Or because they wanted to put
the baby up for adoption?

That. Yes.

To whom?

[sighing wearily]

I don't know.

Regina was supposed to call
and give me the name

of the adoptive parents,

so I could put them
on the birth certificate.

But she never did.

She never did?
Not a lawyer?

She didn't want
to involve lawyers.

Look, these are people
she knew in Corinth.

She said-- she said they'd give
the baby a good home.

And they wanted to be able

to raise him
as their biological child.

Did she say why?

No. But, uh...

she was supposed to be
getting a lot of money.

And she was supposed
to give you a cut?

Then she didn't?

No. She didn't.

But I haven't done
anything wrong.

Technically, not yet.

That's why Regina
concealed the pregnancy

and didn't buy anything
for the baby.

Because she and Craig
were gonna

put the baby up
for a private adoption.

Then Regina changed her mind and
took off with the baby.

The adoptive
parents probably

followed him straight
to Regina and the baby

at my house.

Then Craig tried
to defend his family,

and they killed him.

[Sally]: And then they took
Regina to make her tell them

where the baby is.

Okay, but why do they want
to hurt me?

I mean, I don't even know
who they are.

Maybe you know more
than you think.

Did you ever hear Regina
mention the name Cathy Davis?

[Bobbie exhales]

Yes. I think that was
the name of the woman

who drove Regina to one
of her prenatal appointments.

[♪♪♪]

Thank you.

Thanks, man.

Hey, Rory.

[♪♪♪]

Nowhere left to run, Rory.

I quoted her
for my story!

Cathy Davis.

Saying she had no idea
that Regina was pregnant.

It's in the paper
this morning.

And yet she was taking her
to prenatal appointments.

I appreciate that.
Thank you.

Okay, Corinth P.D. says

there's no one home
at the Davis residence.

Neighbor told them

that Cathy and her husband
left last night

for an out-of-town trip.

But what if
they planned

to keep on driving
to Lawrenceton?

They know
Hayden's there!

They could be
looking for him.

I need to get back
to the baby.

I'll call Lynn
and make sure

there's an officer
posted up at your house.

Thank you,
and I'll call my mother,

warn her, too.

We'll stay with you
for a bit.

[phone ringing]

Martin, hi.

Hey! Finally got Rory.

I'm about to haul him
back to Lawrenceton,

to hand him over
to Lynn and Arthur.

I don't think
Lawrenceton's

a good place
to be right now.

Do remember the woman
I told you about?

The friend of Regina's neighbor
who kept asking to hold Hayden?

Yeah, what about her?

She might be the killer,
and I think she's headed there.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, you are such a good baby.

Yes, you are!

[cell phone ringing]

I'll be finished
in just a moment, Aida.

Oh, actually, Lillian,
my appointment canceled,

so, uh, I'll just keep Hayden
the rest of the day.

But it's my turn
to watch him.

I plan to play my Mozart CDs,
to increase his intelligence.

I doubt that passive listening
will do that.

No, no. He needs
a more stimulating toy.

Like this one.

Oh, that flashing thing

will give him a taste
for common entertainments.

We want him to be
more discerning, don't we?

Are you calling
my tastes "common"?

Mother, thank you
for keeping an eye on him.

Hi, sweet boy.

Lillian, I need
to take a sick day.

Oh. You look fine to me.

Call it
a "family emergency."

An emergency?

What is
going on, Aurora?

I'll call you later,
fill you in.

Hey. I was getting
worried about you.

Yeah, I tried
to call you to tell you

I was almost here.

Phone's out of juice.

Where's Jason?

His friend came
to pick him up.

He's done enough.

Besides, it's getting
too dangerous.

Which is why you may want
to get me out of the house.

Not until you tell me
who has Regina,

or the Lawrenceton cops
come to get you.

Those are your options.

How many times
do I have to tell you, okay?

I don't know who took her.

Can you--

Rory.

I just talked to the midwife
who delivered Hayden.

She told me that Regina planned
to put the baby up for adoption.

She told you?

A private adoption

that nobody else
was supposed to know about.

Except you knew
about it.

And you also knew that
Regina changed her mind

after she and Craig
already spent

whatever money
they'd been given.

So that's why
you and Craig

started to write bad checks.

Craig was scared.
He wanted to pay them back.

Pay who off?

I told you,

I-I don't know who.

I think
I know who.

It was the woman who drove
Regina to the midwife once.

A woman by the name
of Cathy Davis.

You know who that is,
don't you?

Tell us what
you know, Rory.

Were Cathy Davis and her husband
supposed to adopt Hayden?

Is that
who has Regina?

If I tell you that...
I am as good as dead.

So just let me
out of this house, okay? Please!

Shh, you're gonna
wake the baby.

Do you want to put him
in the bedroom?

[Aurora]: Yeah.

All right, look.
Rory, it's gonna be okay.

It's not
gonna be okay.

Okay?

It is so not gonna be okay!

If we can catch
whoever did this,

then you can go home.

[Rory on monitor]:
I'll feel safe

when you let me
out of this house.

[Martin]: If you don't
feel safe telling me,

why not tell the police, huh?

They'll bring you
into protective custody.

Yeah, they'll never
let me out of jail.

Just let me out of this house.

Please?

I can't do that
because you won't tell me--

-...who has Regina.
-It's her own fault!

Not mine.

Everything that happened,
it's on her!

-[shot rings out]
-Ah!

[Rory groaning on baby monitor]

I got shot!

Get down!

[groaning]

Martin, don't.

[shot fires]

[Martin groans]

Martin! Oh... Martin.

No, don't. Martin, talk to me.
Talk to me.

I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.

Rory.

[♪♪♪]

Roe. Get over here.

He's breathing. I think
the bullet just grazed him,

but he's passed out.

Listen. A red shirt.

I saw
a red-checked shirt.

I have to stop that bleeding.

Listen to me, Roe.

I'm probably gonna
go into shock,

just so you know.

Martin--

Hold this.

I need to call 911.

Oh! My phone!
It's in the car.

[banging on door]

[Man]: Hello?

Is everything okay?

It's Luther Granberry,
from across the street!

[banging]

Hello?

Hey. I thought
I heard gunshots.

Is everything
all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Aw, no.

Oh, you've got hurt people.

Okay, uh...

I got a first-aid kit
in my truck.

I'll run and get it.

And call 911
so I can stay with Martin.

[exhales]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Uh, I'll be right back.

Roe.

Roe!

Martin!

Martin, he was wearing

a red-checked shirt
underneath his jacket.

Roe! Come back here!

[♪♪♪]

It's the Granberrys!

[Hayden cooing on baby monitor]

[Margaret]:
Come on, sweet baby.

Time to come home.

[♪♪♪]

Margaret!

Give me Hayden.

His name is Trevor.

You sure you don't
want us to stay

until your sister
gets here?

No, the police
are still here.

I'll be okay.

Okay, one more thing.

My editor's gonna want a photo
to go along with my story,

and I found some pictures
of Cathy Davis

from her online profile.

This is the woman
who brought Regina

to her appointment, right?

No, not her.

It was this woman.

Margaret Granberry
used Cathy Davis's name.

Hey, you got a minute?

I just got a message
from Sally Allison,

saying Cathy Davis

is not the person
we should be looking at.

Yeah, well, she's right.
Have a look at this.

A list of customers
from Corinth Tires,

people who bought

the model of tire
that matches the tracks we found

next to Regina's car.

You see a name
that looks familiar?

Luther Granberry?

You want to call Corinth P.D.,
or should I?

You're the lead detective
on this case, aren't you?

Yes, Chief, I am.

Regina!

[sighs]

The Granberrys'
basement.

Is this is where
you've been the whole time?

Yeah. I thought
I heard Hayden crying.

Is he here?

Yes. Yeah, Margaret has him.

I'm so sorry.

I was hoping
to keep him away from them,

but...

they said that
once Craig and Rory brought him,

they'd let me go.

So...

They'll be really good
to Hayden, though,

won't they?

I mean,
they must love him

to go through all this trouble
just to get him back.

It'll be hard
without Hayden,

but Craig and I still
have each other,

right?

Oh, Regina,
I am so sorry

to say this, but...

Craig is dead.

No.

No, Craig is fine.

No. I-I saw him
in front of your house.

He was talking
to Luther.

I convinced them that Rory was
just taking the baby for a walk,

but I had Hayden hidden
in the bathtub.

Luther promised

that he wouldn't hurt Craig
if I went with Margaret, so--

Luther broke his promise.

He shot Craig.

I'm so sorry.

Craig must have tried
to overpower Luther,

and Luther panicked...

he shot him.

Craig didn't bring the baby?

No.

[♪♪♪]

[sobs]

Luther just shot Martin
and Rory through the window.

I don't know
how bad it is,

and I wasn't able
to call an ambulance.

We have to get out of here.

[gasps weakly]

Rory.

Rory.

Rory!

Ah, you're gonna
be fine.

Back pocket.

[line ringing]

I thought I was
doing a good thing.

We weren't ready
to have a baby.

Craig didn't
even have a job.

Luther and Margaret
wanted a baby so badly.

But she couldn't.

They'd been trying to adopt
and they'd saved all this money,

but they kept getting
turned down

because Luther
had been in prison.

We thought
he deserved a second chance.

I mean,
Craig had been in prison,

and he was nice.

Luther and Margaret
seemed so nice, too.

They are not
nice people, Regina.

They would do anything
to cover their tracks,

even if it means killing us.

We have to get out of here.

Let them kill me then.
I don't care.

I don't want to live
without Craig.

Hey. Hey!

Listen to me.

Your baby is upstairs.

Do you really
want Hayden being raised

by the people
who killed his father?

Then you need
to help me figure this out.

I've tried everything
I can think of

to get out of here.

Just last month,
I read about a case

in which three women

were trapped
in a basement,

and they managed
to escape.

They used a ruse.

[♪♪♪]

Aren't you going
to come admire your new son?

[chuckles]

I'll be able to more later.

We gotta get outta here now.

Just a matter of time

before the cops show up
and check out those gunshots.

You hear that, Trevor?

We're going on a trip.

-[thudding downstairs]
-What was that?

[♪♪♪]

[door opens]

Martin!

[louder]: Martin!

He's all right.

We were on our way over here
when we heard your 911 call.

There's an ambulance
is on the way.

-Granberrys.
-Yeah. We know. We're just--

waiting for local police to get
here with a search warrant.

Aurora went over there.

Where's your friend?

She got out.

That's impossible.

[crashing]

Go!

Go, go, go!

-[grunting]
-Go!

Go get Hayden!

Give me my baby.

[both grunting]

[yelps]

[thud]

You need to give Hayden
back to his mother now.

[♪♪♪]

Where's Martin?
Did you find Martin?

On Craig
and Regina's couch,

and yes, he's
still breathing.

The paramedics should
be there soon.

Well, go!

He needs you.

Okay.

On your lead?

No. I'm just back-up.

[♪♪♪]

[grunts]

Did you hear
what they said in there?

Your wound isn't severe.
You're gonna be okay.

And Regina?

She's over there.

She's fine,
Hayden's fine.

Lynn's gonna bring them
to the hospital to see you.

What about the Granberrys?

On their way
to Corinth jail.

Thanks to you.

Oh, my goodness!

I'm so happy
you're both okay.

Thank you, Sally.

Hey, John.
Did you ask her?

Not yet.

I think I better wait
a while after all this.

Get better.

Let's go get
some quotes.

What was that all about?

Oh, just about the stubbornness
of the Teagarden women.

[♪♪♪]

[Aurora]:
Aww, he's getting big.

It's great to see
Regina so happy.

I'm glad she's getting
a second chance.

She loves that baby.

[♪♪♪]

Oh...

I like the way
you're looking at me right now.

Well, that's the way
a woman looks

at the man she hopes will be
the father of her children.

Does she, now?

[♪♪♪]
