Please don't take my baby,
please !

You don't have to do this.
Stop packing the bag, okay ?

- No !
- Please, don't take her.

- Let's talk about this.
- We don't deserve this.

Please don't take her, no !

- Sweetie.
- You don't have to do this !

Just look at me.
Everything is going to be okay.

Take my hand; it's okay.
Come with me.

Don't take her, no !
No, no, don't take her !

- Mommy !Mommy !
- Mommy's here.

- No, no !
- Mommy ! Mommy !

She doesn't want to go.
She doesn't want to go !

Don't take her.
Please do something.

Let her go, man.
I'm warning you.

Why are you doing this to us ?
Why ?!

Mrs. Biggs, there's a number on
the letter I gave your husband.

Call it, somebody will tell
you what your options are.

You able to find overnight
housing for the girl ?

Yeah, there was an empty bed
over at shield house.

- That's good, isn't it ?
- It's a bed.

Hey, we're going to hit happy
hour over at the matador.

- You want to come drink it off ?
- Not tonight, but thank you.

Hey, man, how's it going ?

It's going. What do we got ?

We've got Eric Hayes, social worker.

Last night he removed a
seven-year-old from her home.

Pd says the girl's father
nearly took his head off.

When the janitor came in this morning,
he found Hayes' office looking like this.

- What time was that at ?
- it was just after 5:00.

He never made it home and his wife was
in Philly, but she's on her way back.

What about security ?

Apparently security is not in
the budget around here.

And the back door was rigged so
it would remain open for the smokers--

anybody could have walked in here.

I'm thinking the pissed off
dad from yesterday.

Yeah, I mean, he could be holding Eric
hostage until he gets his daughter back,

but I'm telling you, there's
a lot of possibilities.

In the last couple of years,

this guy has removed 19 kids from bad
situations, and he's paid the price.

He's been stitched up at st. Luke's,

his tires have been slashed
on his car, he's had death threats...

Hello ?
Are you with me, man ?

- Yeah, I...
- You okay ? What's going on ?

I spent a lot of time in places
like this when I was growing up.

So the faster we get out of here,
the happier I'll be, all right ?

Yeah, I hear you, but I don't think
we're leaving here anytime soon.

We've sent Eric's photo to state
police and all hospitals in the area,

plus I have an apb out on his car.

What about the wife ?
She touch down yet ?

Not for another half hour,

and we have an agent waiting for her
at the terminal,

but I did get this:
NYPD's files on Thomas Biggs.

Possession, aggravated assault,
domestic violence...

should have lost his daughter
a long time ago.

I know. The wife said that he left
at 8:30 last night and never came back.

Did we talk to the foster home ?
See if he went after the kid ?

He hasn't been there.

We should post an agent outside,
just in case he decides to pay a visit.

- Got it.
- All right.

So how many open cases does
Eric have at the moment ?

He's probably pushing 30,

and most of these parents are
either drug addicts, abusive,

or have some sort of criminal record.

What could you tell us about
Thomas and Lucinda Biggs ?

He's violent, she takes it,

and their seven-year-old daughter's
caught in the middle.

Eric's pushing hard to get
him into anger management

so the family has a shot of
staying together.

Obviously that didn't work.

Mr. Biggs didn't like being told what to do.

Eric kept pushing though, even
after he told us he was moving on.

- Eric quit ?
- Gave his 30-day notice last month.

Did he say why ?

Same reason everyone else around
here quits-- it's their time.

I was sorry to hear he was
leaving, but I'll be honest.

He hasn't made his last
week here very easy.

What's this I hear about Thomas
Biggs refusing entry in the home ?

yeah, I showed up there
yesterday for a drop in...

And you left,
I read your notes.

What was he even doing there ?

Mrs. Biggs swore to me she filed
a restraining order last week.

And did it ever occur to you
she may have lied ?

I thought you made it clear
how serious this is.

She has a choice, either her
husband or her child.

Yeah, and what's she supposed to do,
kick him out herself ?

She can call the police.
She can call you.

What's going on with you, Eric ?

You know what you need to do here.

Honestly, Harriet,

we can take Kayla Biggs away
from her family this minute,

we have the right.

But half the placements
don't have room for her,

and I'm not sure the ones that
do are any better than where she's at.

Have you even looked at what
you've been writing in this file ?

September 13,
suspected drug use in the home.

October 1, more of the Same.

October 2, domestic violence call.

If we can't do better than that,
there's a serious problem.

All right, fine.
I can convince him to leave.

I can... I'll talk to him.
I'll get him back in a program.

You tried talking and it didn't work.

Next time you go back,
if Thomas Biggs is still in the house,

you take the child out.

Eric didn't like the move,
but that's his job,

at least for a few more days.

Is there any chance that there
was something else going on

with a case that he didn't tell you about ?

I don't see what else there could be.
Everything is in the file.

Let me guess, We're going to need a court
order before we see the case files, right ?

This isn't your first barbecue.

I'm guessing the other social workers
are off limits, too, without a subpoena ?

Look, I want to help you find Eric,
but the rules are clear.

Get me that subpoena, and I'll
give you everything you want.

Fair enough.

I've tried for so long to get him to quit.

Now you think this guy
did something to him ?

We're not sure about that, yet.
We're looking for both of them.

Have you seen him before ?

I don't think so, no.

Did anything happen at work that made
you concerned for your husband's safety ?

Not lately.

But back when he was new to the
job, he'd talk about it all the time.

Every day, another horrible story.

After a while he just stopped.

But it didn't make a difference because
I still saw the bites and the bruises.

Any idea why he finally quit ?

Eric thought he was saving these
kids from bad situations.

Last month he realized he
couldn't take it anymore.

Eric, what are you doing home ?

It's 4:30.

- Are you drunk ?
- I might be, a little.

You remember that song,
"dancing queen", right ?

The song from the '70s ?

Sure.

You know, because it was playing
on my way to work today,

and it just made me think of my sister
and... she--

she was crazy about that song
and I hated Abba, obviously.

But I would go to her room
and we'd play that song so loud.

We'd blast it and we felt like,
you could feel the walls shaking.

- Eric ?
- It's funny,

how a song can make you forget your
dad's in the other room beating your mom.

I quit today.

What ?

I gave my notice.
30 days.

- What happened ?
- I just...

I can't do it anymore.

You know, all these years I thought
I was making a difference.

I wasn't doing anything but
making everything worse.

Did something go bad today ?

It's just that I let this kid down.

I was so busy doing my job...

I didn't do my job.

I'm sorry.

Eric spent so much of his life running
from what his dad did to them.

Then he found himself in a job where
he could relate to these kids,

and he couldn't always help them.

This kid that he thought he let down,
did he ever say anything else about ?

I figured it was one of his cases,
but I didn't ask.

Do you think it has something
to do with why he's missing ?

It might.

I should have made him talk to me.

I was just so happy he was getting out.

Hey.

Did the, did the judge say how much
latitude

we have to dig into Eric's cases ?

You can dig as deep as you want to,

but he was a little leery of opening the
door to the third-party privacy violations.

I'll let Martin know.

I can't get out of here right now.

can we...
reschedule the thing for-for later ?

Later. I know your definition of later.

No, I'll just go on my own,
and I'll call you.

- Okay, great.
- Okay.

Nobody's talking.

Think the suits and the guns
have anything to do with it ?

It's not the guns they're afraid of,
it's the clipboards.

Hey, there's our man.

Thomas Biggs, FBI !
Come here !

I'll go around back !

Put your hands where I can see 'em !

Get off me, man.
Get off !

Where's Eric Hayes ?

- The hell if I know !
- Get up !

You have anything in your
pockets that could cut me ?

- Look, you got this all wrong, man.
- Do I ?

Because you were chasing me, man

Hey. This is a list of emergency foster
homes in the city on cps letterhead.

Let me guess...
Eric Hayes gave that to you, right ?

Hey, I'm warning you,

you keep throwing
me around and you're gonna be sorry.

Sorry ?What, like Eric Hayes was sorry ?

Why do you keep hitting me with that ?

I didn't even touch that dude.

We know you followed him back
to his office

and that you did a little
redecorating while you were there.

So what ?
So I went there.

Yeah, I doubt it was for a list
of foster homes.

You went there to bash his teeth down
his throat for taking your daughter.

So maybe you're right,

it still doesn't
change the fact that he wasn't there.

- I don't believe you.
- Hey, I'm telling the truth.

Look, why are you shaking me down

and not the punk that got in your boy's face
the other day ?

Tom, you know how this works.
You're not supposed to be here now.

Unless you got a piece of paper that says
I got to go, I ain't going nowhere.

Can you not see that I'm trying
to help you out here ?

But if you're living in the home and you're
not working your anger management program,

there's nothing I can do.

Then I guess we're done here, aren't we ?

All right, look, at least let me check on
Kayla and Lucinda see how they're doing,

so I can put that in my report.

Now, how stupid do I look ?
They're fine.

Yeah, I need to see that for myself. Kayla !

You're not coming inside my house.
Not today.

what the hell are you doing here ?

Get your ass back inside that house, now !

What are you doing here ?

You want to play games
or you gonna tell me what I wanna know

I swear to you, I don't know anything.

Get out of here !I'm calling the cops !

sosh got in his car and got out of here.

Next day, shows up with a couple
of cops to take my kid.

The guy with the gun,
did Eric say who he was ?

I didn't ask.

Okay, great.
Thanks. Yeah, bye.

A call came in from a neighbor
who saw one white guy waving a gun

at another white guy in the street.

- Well, that's very descriptive.
- Yeah.

Did Biggs recognize any of your guys ?

No, he looked through all of
the dads in Eric's caseload,

and none of them match the guy with the gun,

so I'm gonna get a sketch.

Sam, look at the board.
This guy's life sucks.

What if he just left on his own ?

Well, someone waved a gun in his
face and trashed his office.

I have a feeling there's
more to it than that.

Well, maybe there isn'T.
Social workers burn out.

When I was a kid,

we had a social worker that
worked with my family for an entire year.

And then one day out of nowhere,
he just quit.

Quit his job, quit everything.

Want to know how he did it ?

He left a note on a chair in
his office that said I quit.

Well, this guy didn't leave a note.
He just disappeared.

he looks so angry. Is he another
parent fromric's work ?

Not that we can tell.

Now, are you aware that your husband
closed out his retirement account ?

- What ?
- He took out about $10, 000 in cash.

- When ?
- A couple weeks ago.

Is it possible that he could
have owed this man money ?

I have no idea.

Any other reason why this man would be
pointing a gun in your husband't1s face ?

When I went back to our apartment
today,

I started going through
all of Eric's things.

This was in a pair of his pants.

Brookhurst motel.

We've never been to Connecticut.

Mrs. Hayes, do you think your
husband was having an affair ?

I thought I was just losing him to his job.

I guess I was wrong.

Okay, I will.

Well, I really appreciate it.
All right, thank you. Bye.

That was the manager
of the Brookhurst motel.

He said Eric checked in two weeks ago
and paid $2, 000 cash for the whole month.

Anybody there now ?

No, but the "do not disturb" sign was
on the door, and the bed was unmade.

We need to interview the manager,
maids, neighbors,

anybody that might have seen
the missing person.

I think I figured out who Eric
was hooking up with.

Her name's Stacy Russell.

Last night after all the caseworkers
are gone,

one call came in to the central
cps switchboard

from a number in Connecticut:
it was hers.

- Just one ?
- Yeah.

But I found a few calls
from his home to her

while his wife was away in philadelphia.

You think our gunman could
be Stacy's husband ?

- Miss Russell.
- Yes ?

I'm special agent Spade. This is special
agent fitzgerald. We're with the FBI.

We wanted to ask you a few
questions about Eric Hayes.

Okay.

When was the last time you spoke to him ?

Last night around 9:00.

And what'd you guys talk about ?

I'm sorry,
what's that got to do with the FBI ?

Eric's missing. We understand you
were involved with him.

Involved ?I just met the guy
a couple of weeks ago.

He brought his pregnant girlfriend
in for a checkup.

I see you're just over eight months.

Have you been getting gular prenatal care ?

Trying to. I missed a couple of
appointments early on, though.

And how long have you been spotting ?

Three days. Is that bad ?

I mean, you probably see this... this
kind of thing all the time, right ?

It's not really that serious ?

Actually, I can't say.
That's for the doctor to determine.

Right, I mean, yeah, but you can tell us.
I mean, she's gonna be fine, right ?

I'm sorry, sir, but I can't share
any information with you

unless you're family
or the father of the baby.

He is the father.

I just want to know if my baby's
gonna be all right.

I understand.

Is it ?

You and your baby are going
to be fine, amy.

We're just going to have to keep
a close eye on both of you.

He paid me $5, 000 cash to act as a midwife.

Didn't want to deliver her baby
at a hospital.

- Where did they want to deliver ?
- In a motel- -

except when I went over there for
her checkup last night, she was gone,

so I called Eric.

He didn't seem to know
where she was either.

I need a car to get out of here today.

I've been waiting for hours.

No, I can't be here tomorrow.
It's got to happen today.

No. No, I'm not dealing with a deadline,
thank you very much.

I'm dealing with an idiot.

my god.

good...

god... please...

Hey, what's up ?

would you mind coming in and
shutting the door behind you ?

Okay.

- Take a seat.
- Sure.

I wanted to tell you something.

Ann and i are moving in together.

Okay. That's great.

I don't really understand why
you're telling me this.

Because I felt like...

I felt like I owed it to you.

Because we had a fling
while you were married ?

You know, Jack, I've got to take this.
I'm sorry.

She's pregnant.

I'd appreciate it
if you wouldn't say anything.

I haven't told anybody yet.

Okay.

Spade.

Congratulations.

Okay. The free clinic records confirm
Stacy Russell's story.

Eric is listed as the father.

Okay, well, he emptied $10, 000
from a retirement fund,

$5, 000 went to the midwife,

and $2, 000 to set amy up in a motel.

So that leaves $3, 000 unaccounted for.

Well, motels are transient, and the
midwife keeps her out of the hospital.

This guy's doing everything he
can to make her invisible.

Okay, I found amy jensen in the cps system.

She didn't show up in any of Eric's les.

Because Eric's not her case worker,
a jason barnes is.

Take a look at this.

On september 29,

cps took her two- year- old son kevin away
from her and put him in a foster home

because she failed a couple drug tests.

A month later, they found the kid.
He had been beaten to death.

One of the parents ?

No, it was another foster kid, a
12- year- old that lived in the Same home.

Geez.

Yeah, and when cps found out
she was pregnant again,

they petitioned the court to take the baby
away based on predictive neglect.

When was the kid killed ?

October 21.

That was two days before Eric resigned.

Eric's not the father. Amy's my case.

He'd never even met her
until about a month ago.

Her cps file has the father listed
as unknown.

Yeah, officially.
She wouldn't give up the name.

How about unofficially ?

Damon Winters.

That him ?

Yep. He got her pregnant
in between beatings.

Since Eric's not the father,
what's his connection with amy ?

Well, he supervised me on a drop-

in to see how kevin was adjusting
to the foster family.

I'm new. They wanted to make sure
I didn't miss any red flags.

Looks like the both of you missed
a couple of red flags.

I thought the whole visit was a red flag.

How so ?

Too much food, too many hugs and kisses.

You don't see kids that happy at disney
world. It was totally staged.

Why wasn't that reflected
in your report here ?

Because it was an announced visit.

Eric explained that they always feel staged.

He said to drop in the following week
unannounced to get a true sense of the home.

And did you ?

I never got the chance.

- Kevin's dead.
- What happened ?

Those idiot foster parents, they
went to atlantic city for the weekend.

They left the kids alone.

The older one beat him to death
with an aluminiun bat.

I knew something was wrong at that house.

- You remember what I said ?
- Yes, I remember.

He split his head open like a cantaloupe.

That's what the cops said

What am I going to say to her ?

I can't deal with her, man.

You know, I can't deal with any of this.

Go home.

Jason, just go home,
it's fine, this isn't on you.

I'll make sure everybody knows that.

You just go home.

- What are you going to say ?
- Just go home.

Ms. Jensen ?

I'm Eric Hayes.
I'm with child protective services.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

this is your fault.
You took him. You took him !

He was safe with me. He was safe.

I'm so sorry. I don't know...

I'm sorry.

Seeing amy like that...

it was brutal.
Eric blamed himself.

It sounds like he should have.

If we make the wrong choice and leave
a child in a bad home, and that child dies,

it's our ass on the 6:00 news.

But if you place a kid in a bad home ?

Then the blame goes
to the state of New York.

So that's what you do around here.

You cover your asses ?

It's the best of bad outcomes.

That's the job. That's what Eric told me.

Did he also tell you
he was going to resign ?

No.

The next day he asked to see amy's file.

A couple days later,
I heard he was giving notice.

We never talked about it.

Obviously, he feels responsible
about the death of amy's first kid

and wants to give her a second
chance of having a family.

Then why didn't he just petition the courts
on her behalf

and then work it through the system ?

Because he lost faith in the system.
That's why he quit his job.

I guess that explains
the motel in Connecticut.

She's outside cps's jurisdiction.
She's not their problem.

And Eric would know that better than anyone.

Yeah, this is special agent Elena delgado.

We need a drive-
by for intel at 475 avenue D.

Yeah, the resident is Damon Winters.

Okay, thanks.

Eric's supervisor confirmed

that if amy gives birth
out of new york state,

they can't touch her.

Won't they just pass her case
onto dcf in Connecticut ?

Well, they're going to put in a call,
but it definitely won't be a priority.

Well, keeping her away from the state
is one thing,

but this guy, Damon Winters,
that's another.

I've got here that
he has two domestic incident reports on him

with amy listed as the victim.

She didn't press charges though.

Great, thanks.

Guys, NYPD got a 911 call from Damon's
address ten minutes ago.

They sent emt.
They said she had the baby.

Amy, this is special agent johnson,
I'm special agent Spade.

We're with the FBI.

Can you tell me what happened here ?

- Amy, where's the baby ?
- She's gone.

He said he would come back.

He took my girl, but he promised
that he would come back.

- Who ?
- Damon.

What about Eric, was Eric here ?

Eric came after, but it was too late.

- Amy ?
- I'm in here.

Here.

amy. Amy... what happened ?

I called him.

You what ?
Why did you do that ?

It's his kid, too, right ?
Right ?

She's perfect.

She looks just like you, mama.

Can I hold her ?

Let me hold her.

It's okay. It's okay.

She looks just like kevin.

- what are we doing, amy ?
- What do you mean ?

- We can't hide her forever.
- Damon.

We're being selfish, aren't we ?

I mean, it can't be about us,
it's got to be about her, right ?

I know that, but...
you said that you wanted this.

You said that you wanted to take care of us.

I do. Selfishly, I do.

But think about it. how are we ever
going to enroll her in school ?

The second she's in the system,

the state's going to take her
and put her in a foster home.

Just like they did with kevin.

We can't let that happen, no.

it's okay...

Kiss her good- bye.

that's a good girl.

He'd already found her a home.

A real home, with... good people.

- Who are these people ?
- I don't know.

He called some woman,
and then he went to go meet her.

he put me on the couch and left.

Okay, so where was Damon taking the baby ?

Amy. Do not protect this guy.

He doesn't love you.
He doesn't care about your baby, okay ?

Tell us where he took her.

He told the woman on the phone
to meet him in gravesend.

the parking lot by the bus station.

Okay, so the last call from Damon's cell was
to a woman in chicago named sharon zenowich.

Is she the buyer ?

No, she's been acting more like a broker.

They've been texting back and forth
for the past month negotiating a price.

It looks like he was pretending to be amy.

He actually sent her a text this
morning that said... in labor. Come now.

Well, if the broker flew in to buy a baby,
I'm sure she's gonna go straight back.

So I'm gonna call tsa and have them
eck all flights to chicago.

okay.

Hey, what's up, brother ?

Hey, I found Eric's car,
but there's no sign of him.

Any witnesses ?

No, this place is a ghost town.

Okay. hey, hey, hey, does transit
have any cameras out there ?

Well, I hope not, because if they do,
they're wasting taxpayer's money.

All right, let me know.

Okay, excellent. Thanks a lot.

Nothing in gravesend.

Well, we got lucky. They're pulling
zenowich off a plane right now.

- She doesn't have the baby, though.
- Great.

Mrs. Zenowich.

I'm special agent Jack malone.

I'd like an attorney.

Good, 'cause you're gonna need one.

We have a transcript
of all your text messages,

and our chicago office is picking
your life apart as we speak.

You sell babies like they were used cars.

That's a done deal.

But we can table all that
until your attorney gets here.

I just want to know what happened tonight.

Not without an attorney.

If you don't cooperate and somebody
involved with this deal ends up dead,

I'm gonna charge you
with accessory to murder.

- Well, if you want to offer me a deal...
- I'm not offering you anything.

I'm giving you a choice between
preventing a murder

or being charged with one,
that's it.

I don't deal with kidnapped kids,
thats not my business.

I don't give a rat's ass about your
business. What happened tonight ?

The whole meet went wrong
from the beginning.

She's got, all her fingers, all her toes.

Call your client and tell
them to wire the money.

I was explicit- - I don't buy stolen babies.

I need to see the mother,
and then I'll make the call.

I told you, she's resting.

No, I got to know that she's
willing to part with this kid.

The last thing I need is an amber alert.

Who the hell is this ?

Damon, come on, man.

No, don't do this- -
just give me the baby, come on.

Walk away, walk away- - t
his doesn't concern you, man.

I'll let you two work this out.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Call your clients.

They won't wire the money until
they hear the mother's voice.

You're wasting my time.

Damon. I'll take you to see her, okay ?

You can't, Damon. Amy's with the police.

Damon, please, just let me take the baby.

You're a dead man.

Damon, please, listen to me, listen to me...

all right, listen to me, let me buy
the baby. I- I got $3, 000 right here.

$3, 000 ?I'm supposed to get 30
grand from this...

, and you want to give me $3, 000 ?

Look, I got another 15 grand cash,
it's sitting in my office.

We can go there right now.
The place is empty.

I'll give you cash for the baby.

We can go there right now,
it's over, it's done. It's easy.

Take my car. You drive.

Go !

I cut my losses and I went straight
to the airport.

Did you give any thought about
what might happen to that baby ?

That ship had sailed.

Nice. Very compassionate.

I'll let you know when your
lawyer gets here.

All right, great.

Sam and Viv are on their way to cps.

Is there any chance we missed
something in that office ?

You know, ert turned that place upside
down. They never found any cash.

And when Damon finds out, who knows
what he's gonna do to Eric and the baby.

Let's hope Eric can tap dance long
enough until we can get there.

Yeah.

Come on !
You already checked that drawer twice.

- Okay, well, just hold on.
- Stop stalling, man.

- Relax, relax, I got it.
- Let's go, open the drawer.

The police... Damon,
the police must have taken it.

Just think about it, we've been through
this whole thing. They must have taken it.

I'm done messing around with you, man.

You don't need to do this.
I'll get your money.

FBI !Drop your weapon !

Damon, let him go !

Where's the baby ?

- She's alive. She's in the car.
- Shut your mouth.

That's good, Damon,
that's good that she's alive.

Nobody's been hurt yet.
We can all walk out of here.

Stop pointing those guns at me.

We can't do that until
you put your gun down.

Relax, Damon. Let's talk about this.

Where's your car ?

it's- it's parked. It's in the
back of the building.

We got a suspect down and a baby
in need of assistance.

Jack.

Hey. Hey, I've been trying to get you
all day,

but your phone keeps going
straight to the voice mail.

I'm sorry. I think my battery's dead.

- On your way out ?
- I am. I am.

- Well, I'll walk you.
- thanks. Thanks.

- - How's it going ?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm just, you know, j
ust in over my head.

You know, I talked to,
I talked to Samantha.

About what ?

About us, you know, everything.

I didn't think we were gonna
tell anyone about us.

We're not, we're not telling anyone.

I just... I just told her.

- Just Sam.
- Yeah. Yeah. She'll- she'll keep it quiet.

It doesn't matter.
It's okay.

- You okay ?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.

I have a meeting in the morning,
and I'm just...

it's been one of those days.

- Look... you won't be too late, right ?
- I won'T.

This is special agent taylor.

- Are you finished ?
- Yeah.

Can I go in ?

Viv called from the hospital.
Amy and the baby are gonna be fine.

Yeah, fine until the courts throw
that baby right back into the system.

Then what ?

Maybe she'll catch a break,
get a decent judge.

At least now she'll have a chance,
thanks to Eric.

You know, he used his job to work
through some personal issues.

It's not right.

Really. Then what the hell
are we doing here ?
