[eerie music]

[indistinct chatter]

-Sup, Steve. -[Steve] Sup, Dylan.

-How are you, buddy? -[Dylan] Good.

-[groans] What the hell? -[Archer] Oops.

You should be more careful where you walk, clumsy.

You tripped me.

Oh, really? Well, who's gonna back up your story?

See you around, loser.

[laughter]

[Collin] Oh, look at his face.

[laughter continues]

[shouts]

[grunting]

[laughter continues]

[Collin] Oh, look at his face.

Look at his cheeks.

Look at his nose.

[laughter continues]

[nurse] Dylan,

it's time for your evaluation.

Okay.

Thanks for having my back while I was in here.

I'm not gonna forget you when I leave.

[nurse] It's all good little man.

Hey, I'm really proud of all the progress you made.

I really hope you get everything you want today.

[Dr. Kellen] So, I see over the past six months,

you've made some very wonderful improvements

since your stay here with us, Dylan.

Yeah. At first, I thought this place was a piece of shit.

But I like it now. You are all so nice.

Well, I see the language hasn't improved much.

[chuckles] One thing at a time, Doc.

At least I haven't killed anyone

and it's pretty interesting.

I don't have the urge to anymore.

That's a good sign, Dylan.

Can you tell me why you wanted to before?

Well,

I always felt like whoever I was around,

wanted to get rid of me.

So, I needed to get rid of them first.

You know, I needed to survive.

Kill or be killed in this world.

Well, that's one way to look at things, Dylan.

But another way to view life is

if someone is trying to hurt you, you get help.

No one's ever tried to help me.

Boy, what are you doing up, man? It's past your bedtime.

But Dad, it's only 7:00,

plus I didn't eat yet.

I don't care you little sissy girl.

This food is for me and your mama.

I ain't making you nothing.

Now, get your ass back to bed

before you make me mad again!

-Fucking kid. -But, Dad. I'm hungry.

Shut up and do what I say

or you're not gonna eat for another week!

Dad, please!

[screams]

Truth is, I left all of that behind.

I feel like I'm ready to leave here and start over.

Well, Dylan, based on your records here,

you are correct.

You've completed all your courses,

your emotion regulation,

all your hours of therapy,

and the medication seems to be working well.

You've showed signs of change.

But just to be sure,

I'm going to recommend release in three more months.

And if you keep up the great behavior,

it could be even less.

Three months? Are you crazy?

I ain't staying in this place for another three months.

This is bullshit!

Well, let me just check your chart here.

-[Dylan shouts] -[groans]

[suspenseful music]

[indistinct chatter]

-[grunts] -[taser zapping]

Sorry, Steve. I really liked you,

nothing personal.

I just can't stay locked in this place.

[fire alarm ringing]

[suspenseful music]

What's going on? What's with all the commotion?

Nothing. What's that?

This is what you get for laughing at me!

I told you not to laugh!

[alarm ringing continues]

[nurse] Hey!

[taser zapping]

[thuds]

[suspenseful music]

[fire crackling]

-Freeze! Freeze! -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Okay, guys. Guys, listen... -Get on the ground now!

-Get on the ground! -But why am I...

hold on. Hold on. Listen to me.

-[police officer] Get down! -You got the wrong guy.

[man] [panting] Listen to me. Guys, wait!

[gunshots]

It's okay. Baby, it's okay.

You were just having a nightmare.

I can't believe he shot me.

I mean, all my officers fired

and not one bullet hit him.

He was too quick for y'all.

I'm sorry, baby. I know that these nightmares

have really been killing you lately.

Yeah. Well, a little bit to the right,

it would've got me in the heart. It would've killed me.

I wouldn't be here to... having nightmares.

But you are and I am happy.

Because if you weren't here,

I wouldn't have the most amazing husband.

-Thank you, baby. -Uh-hmm.

[sighs]

You know I'm just--

I'm just happy that he's locked up

and he can't hurt nobody else.

Uh-hmm.

Come back to bed, babe.

[dramatic music]

[Caleb] Kel, Mason, let's go!

Dad, do you have to yell?

The whole neighborhood can hear you.

If y'all would hurry up,

I wouldn't have to yell, would I?

You know the boys have their own pace

to life.

-Eww. -They need to get on my pace.

Come here, son. Hand.

As long as I'm here...

-I'll always be loved. -[Ava] That's right.

-Have a great game, son. -Love you, Mom.

-Have a good day at work. -Love you too, kiddo.

You don't have a concept of time, do you?

Dad, it's 9:00 AM on a Sunday,

I should be sleeping.

Yeah, well, your brother has practice

for his game tomorrow, all right?

I'm not leaving you home alone.

Plus, you can get some hits into all right, slugger?

Today, can I be Jackie Robinson?

You can be whoever you want.

Hand. As long as I'm here...

[Mason] I'll always be loved.

-[Ava] All right, boys. -[Caleb] All right.

-[Mason] Eww. -[Caleb] Have a good day.

Come on, go. Get your bag. Let's go.

Come on.

Hurry up. Time is up the essence.

[mellow music]

[Caleb] All right, Kel. Remember how I taught you

to hold the bat.

[Kelvin] Dad, I don't remember.

[Caleb] Like Babe Ruth.

Both hands on the bottom of the bat.

You're gonna hit it off the mound.

Mason, cover the outfield. Let's go!

[claps] Let's go, Kel!

Let's go, your brother is your teammate.

Let's go!

[Kelvin] But Mason's not on my team if he's outfield.

[Caleb] Kel, just hit the ball. Come on. Let's go.

-Let's play. -[Mason] Come on, bro.

Kelvin Andrew steps up.

All the bases are loaded.

This one moment could determine the future for this team.

[Caleb] Let's go! Your teammates.

Your teammates, your brothers.

[Mason] Get a grandslam.

-[Caleb] Oh! -[Mason] Oh!

[Caleb] Go, go, go. Go, hit the bases right.

Go, Kel. Go! Go, go, go!

-Kel. -[Kel coughing]

[Mason] Dad, help. [Caleb] Kel, are you okay?

Sit down. Sit down, buddy. Sit down.

Are you okay? Kel.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, my God. This is beautiful, amazing.

I...uh, you guys just do it every time.

All we have to do is figure out the brand name

and we're good to go.

[phone rings]

Hey, babe.

What do you mean?

What?

No. I'm on--I'm on my way.

[siren wailing]

What did they say? What did they say?

Caleb, what happened to my baby? What happened to my baby?

There's no information yet, baby. I don't know.

I don't know.

[sobbing] Where's my baby?

You gotta fight, Kel.

You can't leave me like this.

Who am I gonna let win in baseball?

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm too strong to die.

And who's gonna look after you if I'm not around?

You're right.

Mom and Dad raised fighters.

You gotta fight with all your might right now, Kel.

Please.

I don't know what I'll do without you.

I have something for you.

[coughs]

No matter what happens in this life,

I'm not going anywhere. Brothers for life.

[dramatic music]

As long as I'm here...

I'll always be loved.

-Brothers for life. -Brothers for life.

Please don't go, Kel.

-[Kelvin coughs] -[Mason] Please.

[Ava crying]

-[Caleb] It's okay, baby. -[Ava crying]

My baby!

Detective Miller. I'm Captain Kester.

Welcome to Oakland.

-Oh, it's a pleasure. -Pleasure's mine.

Detective Stanton is right this way.

All right.

Thank you.

Hey, what's going on, man? Why are we back in Oakland?

They can't find him.

They can't find who?

The kid.

Dylan? They can't find Dylan?

Are...are you serious? What's going on?

He escaped the institution.

[chuckles] No, he didn't escape the institution.

The institution burnt down.

Everybody died. There were no survivors.

They found the bodies.

Nah. Forensics came back

and none of the bodies matched Dylan.

What? [scoffs]

So you mean to tell me Dylan,

the little boy that shot me, is still alive?

Yes. That's exactly what I'm telling you.

Let's go for a ride.

[dramatic music]

[Melissa] I got a call from a random number.

I answered. It was him.

What did he say?

He said that there's no loose ends allowed

and he's coming back to finish the job.

And then he asked about Carrie and James.

He said that they have to die too, especially Bella.

Well, it's a good thing that they fled the country.

You know, new passports, entirely new identities.

It's like they don't even exist. They're ghosts.

I mean, if I had the means, I'd do the same thing,

but, you know...

look, I'm really scared.

I mean, what if he actually comes back to finish the job?

[Edward] We're not gonna let that happen, Melissa.

We'll have a squad car parked out day and night

to ensure your family's safety.

Look, I'm really sorry about your mom.

Thank you. Me too.

Well, if he tries to contact you again

or if you hear anything else, feel anything else,

just reach out.

You know how to reach us.

[dramatic music]

[Caleb] Baby, it's gonna be okay.

We made the right decision.

Are you sure?

What if Mason doesn't like him?

I've went over this a million times with Mason, all right?

He's ready to have a younger brother again.

What about my job?

You know I work, sometimes, seven days a week at the Agency.

What if I don't have time for him?

We'll make time.

We'll make it work, like we do everything else.

Hey, guys. It's a pleasure to see you both back.

-[Ava] Hi. -I'm so excited for you guys.

Hey, I know it's been a lot of back and forth

but we're finally ready.

Yes, we are.

Now, you guys have selected

an amazing young child.

Taylor has brought so much joy to the home.

We're sad to see him go but...

we're happy that he's gonna be with such a great family.

So when can we take him home?

We just need to finalize the paperwork.

I'd say less than a week.

Oh. Talk about fast.

[chuckles]

Ready?

I'm ready.

[mellow music]

They're here.

Are you ready?

It's time.

There he is.

[Ava] There he is.

You ready, champ?

Yeah.

[ominous music]

[Caleb] It's all right.

This is Taylor.

Taylor, meet the Andrews.

Welcome.

Please, please, come in.

So happy you guys made it in safe.

It is so beautiful in here.

[Ava] Thank you.

It's such a pleasure to meet you both,

Mr. and Mrs. Andrews.

It's nice to meet you too, Taylor.

[chuckles]

I'm a hugger, Mom.

[gasps] He called me mom.

[sniffles] Oh, Kelvin,

I miss you so much.

Sorry. Who's Kelvin?

Oh, my God.

I'm...I'm so sorry.

[Caleb] It's okay, baby.

Kelvin is our...

was our son.

What happened to him? You said was?

He...

he passed away last year.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

How old was he?

Too young.

This is our other son, Mason.

Hey, I'm Taylor. Nice to meet you, Mason.

Nice to meet you too, Taylor.

I've always wanted an older brother.

I think we're gonna get along great.

Yeah. I think so too.

You like baseball?

Are you kidding? Jackie Robinson is a legend.

Cool.

[Caleb] Hey, why don't you show him around the house?

We're gonna handle some business.

All right. Come on, Taylor.

I got your back.

They're getting along great already.

Yeah.

Why don't we head over here, handle the paperwork?

[Robbin] Yes, yes, yes.

[Taylor] So is Dad a golfer?

-[makes sound] -Whoa!

Be careful with that.

[sighs]

[Mason] No, not at all.

My dad, he is just a big-time collector,

as you can see.

He had a dream of becoming the next Tiger Woods

but it didn't work out.

He played golf once and he was horrible at it.

But he already bought these expensive clubs,

so he just kept them.

-Wait till he sees his room. -Yes.

Okay. Well, I just need a few more signatures

and we'll be good to go.

Are you ready?

Do the honors.

Oh.

Congratulations.

Taylor is officially a part of the family.

[Caleb] Oh.

Thank you so much.

[Robbin] It's my pleasure.

Can I get you a drink?

Yes, please.

Is it real? Can I touch it?

Whoa.

Number one, yes, it's very real.

Number two, no, you can't touch it.

So is he a hunter?

Was.

Him and his dad, Poppa Caleb,

used to go all the time.

Did you like to go?

Nah. It wasn't my thing.

He took me and Kel once.

That was the first and last time he took us.

He never went after that.

Why not?

That shotgun...

it's the same one from that picture.

[sighs] That was the last time we saw Poppa Caleb alive.

That day, they shot down some crazy number of ducks,

but later that week,

he died of a heart attack.

Dad kept the gun...

and he's never been hunting since.

Wow. What a sad story.

Yeah. But we all took that photo together

and it's kind of a way

we can remember Poppa Caleb.

At least, you have the memory.

Yeah.

But, anyways,

let me show you the rest of the house.

[Taylor] Man, this house is so cool.

Thanks.

This is Mom and Dad's room.

Oh, I wanna show you my room next. Come on.

Oh, this is Kel's room.

No one's allowed to go in there since...well, you know...

-Got it. -Except Mom.

She made sure nothing was moved.

I never go in there though.

Why don't you ever go in there?

Well, it's just too hard, you know?

Plus, it's kind of creepy.

Mom kept everything the same.

She even washed the clothes he died in

and folded them and put them on his bed.

That is kinda weird.

Told ya. Come on.

And this is my room.

Oh, wait. Do you like video games?

I play online video games all the time.

[Taylor] Who doesn't? I love Edge of War.

You ever heard of that one?

Yeah. It's pretty brutal though, don't you think?

Yeah, it is.

But it's still cool.

Yeah. Oh.

And this is my pet hamster.

I named him A-Rod after my favorite player.

I'm a Derek Jeter guy myself.

Derek? Really? He's cool but A-Rod dated J.Lo.

Jeter dated Jessica Alba.

I guess they're both winning with the ladies.

-[chuckles] -Oh.

He's so cute.

Hey, buddy.

This is my card book.

It's my collection of cards.

I have everyone in here.

We got Robert Kelly.

We got Sid Fernandez,

Jamie Moyer.

We got everyone.

And Six Ross.

Man, your room is so cool.

-Thanks. -So is yours.

You wanna come check it out?

-Yeah. -[Mason] Come on.

[squee]

Are you ready?

[Taylor] Yeah.

Ta-da!

[chuckles] Wow.

[Caleb] We heard you like sports.

We couldn't pick just one, so we went with all of them.

I helped with the decorations.

Thanks, bro.

[exhales] This is so cool.

I've never had my own room before.

So I guess that means we did good?

-You did great. I love it. -Yes!

Look, we even got you your own basketball hoop.

You can put it on the door.

Put them shots up later.

Yeah? [chuckles]

I feel right at home. [chuckles]

So it's your first day in your new home.

What would you like to do?

Hmm.

I'm a little hungry.

Okay. Well,

I'll get dinner started

and you guys can hang out.

-Sound good? -Sounds great.

I have the perfect idea. Come on.

-We can play games. -Okay.

[mellow music]

[singer] ♪ Ooh, baby ♪

Do you think he's gonna like the food?

[Caleb] Like it?

Baby, he's gonna love it.

Everyone loves your food.

[Ava sobs]

Do you think this was all too fast?

I mean, I don't wanna ever feel like

we're trying to replace him.

Hey, don't do that.

Come here.

Listen. He can never...

he will never be replaced, ever.

Okay?

[Ava] Okay.

You don't have to feel guilty for moving on.

But Taylor is here now, all right?

We gotta give him all the love he needs.

-Yeah? -Okay.

Thank you...just for always knowing what to say.

Well, we haven't been together almost 20 years

-for me not to know. -[both chuckle]

I think we made the right decision.

We did.

[Ava] [exhales] Should we call the boys down?

Yeah, we should.

[exhales] Mason! Taylor!

Let's eat!

I'll grab this meatloaf.

Mason, stop playing at the table.

Sorry, Mr. Andrews.

Hey, you don't gotta be sorry, all right, Taylor?

How about we drop the Mr. Andrews?

You don't gotta call me dad until you're more comfortable

but maybe we start with Caleb.

I actually like the sound of dad better.

Yeah, I like the sound of that too.

All right.

Don't play.

All right.

We got meatloaf. You like meatloaf?

One of my favorites.

How'd you know?

Mom knows best.

Mase, do you like meatloaf?

I like meatloaf, Tay.

Wait. Y'all got nicknames for each other already?

It's a brother thing.

A brother thing.

This looks amazing.

Thank you.

You know, I tried my best

to make your favorite.

You know, Mom isn't much of a chef,

so she must be really trying to impress you, Tay.

What do you mean I'm not much of a chef?

Well, you never cook normally.

But when you do,

Dad says it's a reflection

of a woman trying her best.

-[gasps] -What?

-Hey. -Caleb!

Babe, I love your cooking.

I don't know what Mason's talking about.

I'm talking about what you said.

-What did I say? -What I just said.

Let's eat, all right?

Well, I'm the new one,

so it's only fair I be the judge of chef mom.

I already checked with Dad.

He said it was okay.

You don't mind that I called you mom, do you?

I was honored when you called me mom.

Okay. Then, Mom, Dad, brother, let's eat.

[Caleb] [laughs] All right. Let's eat.

Well, since you're the new one here,

I think it's only right

that you get the first cut of this amazing meatloaf

that Mom tried for the first time.

Ooh. Drum roll. [mimics drum roll]

[swallows]

Are you okay?

[Mason] You want some more?

[Caleb laughs]

[woman on TV] It's coffee. It's harmless.

And I'm sure you're gonna go anyway.

-Plus... -Mmm.

I love your cooking, all right?

-Then go eat it. -[laughs]

[dramatic music]

[sighs] You think we made the right decision, baby?

Aw, look at Mr. Confident starting to worry.

[chuckles]

I'm not worried. I just love my family.

And I'll do anything to make you and Mason happy.

I just wanna make sure I made the right decision.

Yes, you did.

You always make great decisions for us.

But this one isn't just on you.

We both wanted this, right?

Right.

Okay. So...

let's just see how it goes.

All right. Let's go with it.

I love you, Caleb Andrews.

I love you, Ava Andrews.

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

[Mason] Mason Andrews on the mound.

All the bases are loaded

and the count is three balls, two strikes.

This can win it all, people.

The pitcher gives the signal.

And...

he did it!

It's a grand slam!

[fake crowd cheering]

Ooh! The crowd goes wild!

Mason Andrews, see ya!

Woo! "Mason!

Mason! Mason! Mason!"

-Hey! -Whoa!

Hey, Tay, I didn't see you come outside.

It's all right. You were too busy hitting the grand slam.

[giggles]

Did you and your brother play all the time together?

Yeah. But he wasn't as into it as me and Dad.

He just liked spending time with us.

Dad used to take us to the park so we can hit a few balls.

He used to join

but we all pretended he was good,

but he really wasn't, you know.

But to be honest,

it's been kind of rough without him here.

[sighs] But you being here makes it a little better.

[Taylor] Thanks, bro.

Look, how about we play catch?

This way, you don't have to play alone.

I'm kind of used to playing alone.

Well, now you have me.

I have the perfect idea.

Come on!

[Caleb] Let's go, Andrews!

Oh! What a hit!

[laughs] [clapping]

First.

[Caleb] Let's go, boy! Ah!

And...

-[Caleb laughs] -...home run!

-[Caleb] Yeah. -Home run, baby!

Nice.

-[Mason] Ready? -Yeah.

The count is three balls, two strikes.

Taylor Andrews on the mound.

This one could win it all.

The bases are loaded.

If he hits this grand slam,

the Snipers win the World Series.

[exhales] The pitcher gets ready and...

whoa!

It's a grand slam!

-[Caleb] Run, run, run. -[Mason] The Snipers win!

-[Caleb laughs] -Woo.

-[Caleb] Go! -[Taylor] Home run!

It's a grand slam!

The Snipers win.

And this one will be in the playoffs, folks.

Let's go.

Bet Kel never did that.

Wait, don't talk about Kel like that.

I'm saying it in a good way,

like, maybe I could be the brother you've never had.

No offense to Kel, bro.

I guess that's all right.

Kel couldn't do much.

He spent most of his time sick.

Well, now you have me.

Brothers for life?

You know what?

Brothers for life.

Come on, let's celebrate though.

Family for life.

Family for life.

That's my boys.

[door closes]

[Caleb] Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Mom!

Oh. Okay.

[Caleb laughs]

With all this energy. What's going on?

-[giggles] -We just got back from the park.

Mason was showing me how good he is.

And Tay's actually pretty good.

Maybe we can be the next MLB brother duo.

Ooh.

Maybe you guys will make so much money

that Mom and Dad can retire and live on a farm.

As long as we can live there too.

Of course. Come on now.

We might have even our own baseball field.

-Sounds like a plan. -[Caleb giggles]

Come here, boy.

Hand.

As long as I'm here...

I'll always be loved.

Mwah. Okay. Go play.

Come on.

-Boy is crazy. -[chuckles]

Your mom really loves you.

She's such a great mom.

Yeah, she's cool.

She's more than just cool.

She's amazing.

She shows you love.

I wish I had a mother like her growing up.

Yeah, I guess she is all that.

Do you remember what your mom was like?

[Dylan crying]

-Go away! -Ronnie!

-You're gonna kill him! -Shut your ass up!

[Amber grunting and groaning]

You see what you made me do?

-Now nobody eats! -[Dylan and Amber crying]

You're the worst mistake of my life!

I'm out of here.

[crying]

-Mommy? -Shut up, Dylan.

You're the reason why he's like this.

I wish you were never born.

I don't really remember her.

Enough about parents.

I have something I wanna show you.

What's this?

This is my prized possession box.

I keep everything that's dear to me locked inside here.

What's all this?

This is a limited edition

autographed Jackie Robinson baseball.

My great grandpa caught it at a game.

He passed it down to Poppa Caleb.

Poppa Caleb passed it down to Dad.

And Dad passed it down to me.

Here.

This is so cool.

Jackie Robinson was the GOAT.

Yeah, super cool.

And when I have a son, I'm gonna pass it down to him.

What if you have a daughter?

Then I'm just gonna keep on having kids until I get a son.

[giggling]

What else is in the box?

Just some mint collection cards.

Kirk Gibson,

Sammy Sosa, Babe Ruth,

all the things I'm gonna pass down to my son.

So I keep it all locked inside this box.

Only I go into here.

Thanks for sharing this with me.

[Mason] That's what brothers are for.

Oh. Speaking of brothers,

this is Kel's necklace.

He gave it to me the day he died.

I keep it locked inside of this box when I'm not wearing it.

It's all I have left of him.

And if I lose it, I don't know what I'd do.

Sounds like you two were super close.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

It's okay.

Dad said life isn't promised to everyone.

Ain't that the truth.

[knocks on door]

Well, if it ain't my favorite sister-in-law.

Ah, Caleb, what it do, fam?

Now where that little munchkin I've been hearing about?

Mason, Taylor.

Come downstairs. Your aunt is here.

-Coming, Dad. -Coming.

Aunt DD!

[Denise laughs]

[laughter]

Now how is my favorite baseball superstar athlete doing?

You know, I've been doing good, working hard.

Boy, you don't know nothing about hard work.

You just a baby.

But how them grades doing though?

-They doing. -Uh-hmm. They better be.

Otherwise, Aunt DD gonna whoop that ass.

-I know. -Uh-hmm.

-Uh-hmm. -Oh, you must be Taylor.

Look at them pretty blue eyes looking like a little girl.

You always did want a little girl.

I am Denise but everybody calls me Aunt DD.

Nice to meet you, Aunt DD.

Oh, nice to meet you.

I just wanna pinch them little cheeks.

[giggles]

I didn't come here to see all y'all guys.

Where's Ava?

[Mason] Aunt DD, be so for real.

You know you ain't have no choice.

It was here or Grandma's.

And I know you ain't wanna go to Grandma's.

Ooh. So you finna get your ass beat talking smack like that.

He get that from his mama.

Hey.

Hey, look, let me go grab her. She's out back.

[giggles]

[Ava] Is that my sister?

[screaming]

[laughter]

-Ooh. -Oh, my God, look at you.

Girl.

I got some tea for you and it is too hot to sip.

-[Ava] Come spill the tea. -Yes.

[Ava] Please. Boys, take Aunt DD's bags

into the family room, please.

[Denise] Uh-hmm. Okay.

-[laughter] -[Ava] I can't wait.

[Denise] You said it.

Are they always like this?

Unfortunately, yes.

Michael tryin' to get back with your girl.

-Wait. -Uh-hmm.

Michael from the wine bar?

Girl, so I told him this thing is locked up

and he ain't got the key no more.

-[Ava] Wait. -Do you know this fool

had the nerve to tell me he know how to pick a lock?

[giggling]

Wait, so what happened?

So I told him, "Get out yo tool-belt, baby."

Oh, you are so nasty.

I am single and ready to mingle.

Plus, I'm deployed with a bunch of women all day.

Just gotta get it in where I get the chance.

Oh, my God.

You ain't changed one bit.

Hmm, because I gots to be me until I D-I-E.

[giggles]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

-Wine time. -[giggling]

Ooh, oh, wait a minute. Okay.

What's going on with that Taylor boy?

I mean, he's cute but what's going on?

Oh, my God.

He is just amazing.

I mean, him and Mason get along so well.

He's helpful.

Caleb loves him.

And we couldn't have made a better decision.

Wow. Well, that is great to hear.

Because, you know, sometimes these adoptions can be tricky.

What do you mean? How do you know?

-You remember Shante? -Yeah.

-From up north? -Yeah.

Girl, she adopted this little baby girl,

ended up being a troublemaker.

-What? -Uh-hmm.

Girl lied on Shante's baby daddy.

Told her that he touched her.

-No. -Uh-hmm.

Girl, they broke up over it.

Uh-hmm. And he was a good man.

Paid all her bills

and had a good job, which he lost.

[Ava] Oh, my God.

Come to find out,

girl was making it up the whole time.

-[Ava] What? -Just looking for attention.

-Uh-hmm. -Oh, wow.

Pathological liar.

Anyway, the little girl messed him up.

That family has never been the same since.

Hmm.

Well, Taylor is nothing like that.

Uh-hmm.

It's been a few weeks now

and we haven't had any problems.

To be honest, having Taylor around

has helped me deal with things, you know, especially since...

Oh, my God. My poor baby Kelvin.

Girl, he was my angel.

Mine too.

I still think about him every day.

[sobs]

And I can't say that I'm over it.

But Taylor helps me.

He helps me get through things a little better.

Well, I am happy for you, sis, okay?

Really, I am.

-Take your time, okay? -Okay.

-Don't do too much, poo. -I'm not.

Don't try to replace Kelvin, okay?

Because you can't.

Just gonna take it one day at a time.

I hear you.

Thank you.

You always know how to make me laugh, cry,

and heal all the same time.

Well, I am gonna be here for about three weeks, so...

[laughing]

We got a lot of catching up to do.

And some sister time.

-And we will. -Uh-hmm.

You know, I set up the family room for you,

just the way you like it.

Girl, all I need is a couch.

-I know. -Okay.

-But you're my sister. -Hmm.

So I need you to get comfortable,

unwind, unpack,

and dinner is at 7:00.

-Okay. Well, I think I will. -[giggles]

But could you give me something stronger?

-Yes. Yes. -I wasn't ready for this.

I'm glad you're here, sissy.

Something broke out.

So you both are telling me

we lost this kid?

Oh, no, no, no.

See, see, see, that's...nah,

because technically he not... like we didn't lose him, right?

-He ain't lost. -Hmm.

But then, like, he, like, jumped out

of the back seat of our car and started running

-and we was like, "Oh." -Save your sarcasm, Miller.

-I'm not in the mood. -Okay.

But look, the kid broke out

of a highly secured mental facility.

No one could have expected that.

And we don't even know how he did it.

Did you check the security cameras?

They were down at the time of the incident.

Ugh, of course they were.

Look, we got people on it. We sent some people down there

that are interviewing people at the facility.

No one seen anything, heard anything,

and nobody seen him escape. It's a dead end.

[Elle] You two were in charge of this case.

And now there's some psychotic kid

somewhere out there on the loose

in God knows what city doing God knows what?

Only God knows.

[Elle] Oh, so you guys think this is funny.

No, no, we don't think it's funny. Okay, listen.

This little kid put a bullet in me, all right?

And it's giving me nightmares

and there's nothing more I wanna see than him locked up.

Then find him.

No excuses. You have one week.

What about two weeks?

Don't push it, Miller.

This is my jurisdiction.

Find him.

We can't afford another casualty like the last one.

All right.

[grunts] Dylan, Dylan, Dylan,

where are you, Dylan?

[R&B music]

I'm glad you didn't cook today, Mom.

Thanks, Dad.

Oh, my gosh.

It was one meal

and I made up for it with the pizza.

But one meal to kill us all

or just kill our taste buds.

Hey, it's the thought that counts, baby.

-[laughing] -Whatever.

Besides, my specialty is chicken noodle soup.

I'll have to make it for you one day, Taylor.

I'd love to try it.

[Ava] Thanks, sweetie.

Uh, so how does it feel

being with your new family?

Oh, I couldn't be more blessed.

[Denise] Oh.

Oh, my God, you are such a lil cutie.

I bet you just get whatever you want from anybody, huh?

-No. -[Denise] No?

With that cute little smile and them teeth.

I can't even take it.

All right, y'all. Let's dig in. I'm hungry.

Um, actually, before we eat, can I ask a question?

Sure, sweetie. What is it?

Would you guys mind if I say grace?

-[Caleb] No, not at all. -[Ava] Of course not.

Grace? Little boy, you about five.

What you know about grace?

I've had some practice

in some of the homes I've been in.

I've always wanted to try it with my own family.

Oh, that's so sweet.

We'd love to hear it.

Let's all join hands.

-Not you, Aunt DD. -[Ava] Taylor.

-Give me your hand. -Fine.

Dear God, thanks for this wonderful food.

I'm so thankful for my new family,

especially Mason, the brother I've always wanted,

and my mom and dad.

I haven't felt this love since I can remember.

In Jesus name. Amen.

[Caleb] Amen.

That's so sweet.

We're thankful for you too, sweetie.

Yes, we are, son.

So I guess we just not thankful for Aunt DD, huh?

That's fine. I don't like your little ass anyway.

-Sorry, I-- -I'm just kidding, baby.

Look at you.

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

You know, I really don't like your little girl jokes.

You may wanna keep those to yourself.

It's kind of offensive.

What if I said you look like a man

and talk like a man?

[Ava] Taylor.

I'm just joking.

Who's got their panties in a bunch now?

-[laughs] -That's not...

We gonna get him together.

Looks like you can dish it but can't take it, huh, Aunt DD?

That's my boy.

[Denise] You just gonna allow this?

-It's funny. -That's not funny.

[Denise] Gonna have to work on your home training.

Hmm.

By the way, the food is great.

Yeah, babe.

This tuna casserole is a big hit.

Come off it. Can't neither one of y'all cook.

-[Caleb] Okay. -Please say it louder.

I swear my taste buds have already gone numb.

No more pizza for you either then.

[crickets chirping]

-Come in. -Hi, son.

Hi, Mom.

Just checking on you before I go to bed.

Do you need anything?

-No, I'm okay. -Okay.

Get some rest, okay?

-Mom. -Yes?

I hope I wasn't too hard on Aunt DD tonight.

I mean, she likes to make jokes

so I just wanted to make a joke too.

Hope I didn't offend her.

Well, it's not okay to say those types of things to people.

But trust me,

for someone like Aunt DD, it's okay.

She can handle her own.

Sorry, Mom.

It's okay.

I was actually really proud of you

for being so brave, for standing up for yourself.

Not many people have the courage to get DD back like that.

Thanks.

I feel so comfortable here.

I never had a real mom that actually cared about me.

I want you to know that I love you.

And I know I can never replace Kel,

but maybe...

I can build my own special place in your heart?

Of course you can, sweetheart.

I love you too.

You will always have a special place with me.

I'm your mom now.

And guess what?

Moms and sons always have extra special bonds.

Give me your hand.

This makes our bond unbreakable.

No one can ever break this bond.

Now, when I put my hand up like this,

I say, "As long as I'm here,"

and you say, "I'll always be loved."

This is something that I've shared

with both of my sons.

And now, I wanna share it with you.

I'm so happy that you feel comfortable enough with me

to share something so special.

[laughs]

So let's try it again.

Hand.

As long as I'm here...

...I'll always be loved.

That's right.

And by the way,

thanks for this new necklace

and my new bracelet that you and Dad got me.

And I love it.

You are always welcome.

[Brenda] It's late, baby.

Why are you still awake?

[sighs] Baby, you know I can't sleep when I'm not at home.

And plus... [sighs]

Dylan is somewhere out here on the loose.

I mean, this little kid has murdered more people

than some of the grown men I put away.

And I just can't help but to think that it's my fault.

Why do you feel like it's your fault?

I had the shot. I didn't take it, I hesitated.

It almost got me killed.

And now, he's out there free.

Who knows what he's out there doing?

I just...

we all know what this kid is capable of, babe.

[Brenda] Exactly.

Kid.

You hesitated and honestly,

how easy is it to shoot a kid?

Yeah, I know. That's all I could think about.

I mean, killing is never the first option

in our line of work.

But I gotta say, if it was a grown man,

I wouldn't have hesitated at all.

[Brenda] Listen.

You're a good cop.

You're even a better man.

You made the right decision.

And you just--

you just gotta get through this.

We have to get through this.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Yeah, I know.

But we know how dangerous Dylan is.

I don't know who his next victims are gonna be.

And that's what bothers me, you know.

Yeah.

All right, babe. I'm gonna let you get some sleep.

Okay. Get some rest.

[Dante] Yeah, I'll try.

-Love you. -I love you too.

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, where can you be?

Hmm.

[crickets chirping]

[melancholic music]

[sniffles]

[melancholic music]

[sobbing]

[suspenseful music]

[sniffling]

[Taylor] You don't have to cry anymore, Mom.

You have me now.

Oh, my God, Taylor. You scared me.

What are you still doing up?

Couldn't sleep.

And I heard someone walking past the hallway

and I saw you.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'll be okay. Just go back to sleep, okay?

Get some rest.

[birds chirping]

Hey, Mase. Why are you out here by yourself?

We usually play together.

I just wanna be alone.

Is everything okay?

Yup.

You're acting kinda weird.

And you're pissing me off.

Leave me alone then.

I never asked you to come out here.

Matter of fact, I never asked you to be here

in the first place.

You're getting on my damn nerves.

You little shit.

Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

[suspenseful music]

-[Denise] Taylor! -[gasps]

What the hell are you doing? Get down!

Sorry.

That is not a toy.

You know, I really don't like your attitude.

You need to get rid of it.

Little boy, I'm a grown-ass woman.

So I don't need your permission to like my attitude.

Now get upstairs and go to your room.

You want me to tell your mom?

No.

You're right, Aunt DD.

I'll be more mindful of myself.

Mm-hmm.

Where's Mom and Dad?

At work.

Where they supposed to be.

Now, if you have any questions, you can just ask Aunt DD.

It's okay. I'll just see them when they get home.

Aunt DD's getting on my damn nerves.

Bitch!

Excuse me?

Sorry. What was that?

Oh, hey.

I'm in my room, so you can excuse yourself.

Look, look, look. Look here, little boy.

Now, maybe we got off on the wrong foot,

so I'mma give you a chance to apologize

and make things right

before I gotta break my foot off in that ass.

Huh? Me?

I ain't apologizing for shit I didn't do.

Oh, you better wash that mouth

because I don't play with no smart mouth ass little kids.

That's why I ain't got none.

Well, maybe Auntie DD needs to leave

before something bad happens to her.

You know, bad things happen to people like you.

Are you threatening me?

'Cause I don't do good with threats.

Well, it ain't a threat, sister.

[chuckles] So you think I'm supposed to be scared

of some eight-year old lil boy looking like a lil girl?

You should be.

[laughs] Get out of my face.

Are you...look at--

That wasn't a joke.

You better watch yourself, boy.

I ain't your little boy.

You know what? I will...

I'mma call my sister,

and I'mma get permission to beat that ass.

On God. On God.

Oh, I swear for God, this little white boy

ain't never seen a belt in his life.

Gonna put me in charge and talk about some sis...

I got your damn sister. Wait till I call mine.

I'mma whip the black up on you. How about that?

[suspenseful music]

[Taylor] Aunt DD, please hurry.

Mason fell.

[Denise] Say what?

Oh, my God.

Mason, what are y'all doing up here?

[grunts]

Who's your little girl now? [snickers]

[suspenseful music]

Down. I'm on my way. Come on. Come on. Come on. Push.

Bro, where are you? I'm not gonna be able

to defend off this place alone.

-Come on, bro. Where are you? -[Taylor] Mason, Mason!

-I'm already low on HP. -[Taylor] Mason!

[indistinct]

-Mason, call 911! -What happened?

[siren wailing]

[Dr. Cho] Are you the Andrews family?

Yes. We are.

-Is my sister okay? -She'll live.

She just suffered a few sprains and bruises and a head injury,

which caused some swelling in her brain.

Oh, my God.

She's in a medically-induced coma,

and we have her on a strict watch

just to make sure the swelling in the brain

doesn't get any worse.

Right now, the best thing that we can do is wait.

Can we see her?

No. Not right now.

But we will let you know when it is okay

for her to have visitors.

I just want her to be okay.

I can assure you we are doing everything

we possibly can for her.

Thank you, doctor.

You're welcome.

Hey, how about I take the boys home?

I know you wanna stay and wait.

Okay, babe.

[sighs] Come on, boys.

I could stay with her.

Oh, honey. Thank you.

[man] 70 Delta, take one. And mark.

-Is that okay, babe? -Yeah. That's fine.

You can stay with me.

I can stay with you too, Mom.

It's okay, Mason. I have Taylor with me.

All right. Well, I'll call you when I get home.

Let me know if you need anything, all right?

I love you.

I love you, baby. It's gonna be all right.

[indistinct chatter]

[siren wailing]

[machine beeping]

[suspenseful music]

[flatline beeping]

[eerie music]

[suspenseful music]

[Dr. Cho] So the good news is

is that the brain swelling went down,

so she's gonna be okay.

[exhales] Thank God.

Her memory might be a little foggy when she wakes up,

but we won't know until she does.

It's a waiting game now.

Well, that's great news.

Heard that, baby?

Aunt DD's gonna live.

[insects chirping]

[Mason] Ow.

See, my guy, he has a lot of moves...

-Can I come in? -...and they don't get

that much damage, but when I combo 'em...

Can I come in?

Hold on, bro. I'll be back.

Yeah, come in, Taylor. What's up, bro?

I don't know, bro. You tell me.

You've been acting weird lately.

Is there something I did?

I thought we were brothers.

Yeah, well, you we're not brothers.

You're adopted. And I really don't appreciate

you trying to replace my real brother.

What are you talking about?

I'm not trying to replace anybody.

I just want a family.

People who love me. Like Mom.

She really cares about me.

But I saw you the other night.

You're trying to steal my mom from me.

No, Mason. I will never do that.

Okay, Taylor.

Just leave me alone.

We're not brothers.

We're not even a part of the same family.

You're adopted.

And if I'm being honest,

I wish you never came here.

Damn. That's cool.

But you better start getting used to me

because I ain't going nowhere.

Yeah. We'll see about that when I talk to my mom.

Yeah. Hello? I'm back, bro. My bad.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Taylor. What's up, buddy?

Can I talk to you about something just between us?

Sure. Anything.

Well, it's about Mason.

I know it may not be my place,

but lately he's been a little strange.

I don't know.

Maybe because I'm here,

it may be affecting him.

Really?

What makes you say that?

Well, the other day,

he told me that he wished Aunt DD would go away.

Then he told me he wished I never came

and that he would get you guys to send me back.

You wouldn't do that, would you?

Dad? Send me back?

Of course not, Taylor.

All right. You're part of this family now.

All right, son?

Look. [sighs]

Maybe I'll talk to Mason for you,

make sure he's cool.

Yeah? You know he's gone through a lot.

Him and Kel were really close.

I know.

I just don't want anybody to think

that I'm trying to take his spot because I'm not.

But Mason told me I was.

I just wanna be part of the family.

I don't wanna replace anybody. [sobbing]

Come here, son. Come here. It's okay.

Aw, come here, buddy.

It's okay, buddy.

[sobbing]

I really hope Mason is okay.

He'll be all right. Okay?

[dramatic music]

What's up, Mason? You okay?

You're a little quiet over there?

I'm good, Dad.

Okay.

Would you say we, uh, hit the park tomorrow

and get some practice in for your big game next week?

It's always good to get some practice in.

Nah, I'm good.

You know, Mason told me that

he was in Kel's room the other day.

-What? -That's a lie!

No one goes in Kel's room.

I didn't go in there. He's lying.

I'm sorry for telling on you,

but I seen you in there.

That's not true!

Mason, you know better than to go into Kel's room.

You're gonna believe him over me?

You're taking his side?

It's not like that. All right? We're not choosing sides.

We have been a little concerned with your behavior lately.

Behavior? I'm fine!

I just wanna be left alone!

Mason.

[singer] ♪ Baby, put your loving on me ♪

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have said anything.

We're brothers, and brothers are supposed to have secrets.

Listen, it's okay, son.

[sighs] I told you, Dad.

I told you something's been off with Mason.

I just wanna help him.

I don't wanna cause any trouble.

I don't wanna go back to the home.

Hey. Hey.

Why would you say that, Taylor?

Because Mason said if I told on him,

he would make you guys send me back.

And I don't wanna go back.

I won't cause any more trouble.

I promise. [sobbing]

Hey, it's okay.

Listen, Taylor.

You're family. Okay?

We're not sending you back anywhere.

Your brother's just going through a tough time right now.

We gotta be there for him.

Can you do that?

Of course I can, Dad.

Good. 'Cause that's what family is for.

Mom, Dad, can I ask you guys something?

-Yeah. Anything. -Of course.

Can I start going by my real name?

What do you mean?

Well, at the home I was in,

the counselor changed my name.

He told me it would help me find a new life,

but I'm safe and happy with you guys now.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Sure, baby. What's your real name?

-Dylan. -[Ava] Dylan.

I've always liked that name,

and I'm glad you feel comfortable and safe enough

to use it with us.

Thanks.

[laughter]

But I hope son still works.

Of course it does. Mom.

[laughter]

Want more spaghetti?

-Sure. -[chuckles]

-Glad you liked the spaghetti. -Mm-hmm.

Better than the meatloaf.

-What? -[laughs]

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

What are you doing here, Taylor?

Or should I say Dylan?

Look, I just wanna call a truce.

I don't wanna fight you, bro.

I know you already lost a brother,

and Mom and Dad lost a son.

I'd hate for them to lose another one.

And what the hell was that supposed to mean, huh?

Nothing.

Look, this all started

when you got here.

You thought you could steal my family away from me?

I never wanna steal shit, okay?

You don't know what I've been through.

I only wanted a real family, people who loved me.

And I was so happy

to actually finally have a brother

because I hate little sisters.

All they do is get me in trouble.

Why don't you just give me away then?

I'm used to that!

You need your ass beat the way that you act.

Why does everything have to be my fault?

Now apologize to your sister.

[Dylan crying]

Boy, you crying again?

Stacy took my toy and I was playing with it!

No, I was playing with it first!

-No, you wasn't! -Yes, I was!

[Ronnie] Hey! You out here complaining about a toy?

Well, give that toy back to your sister,

boy, you ain't a girl!

But it was my toy and I was playing with it!

Did you just raise your voice at me, boy?

I always thought things would be different with a brother,

but all of a sudden, you started trippin'.

You're worse than a sister.

That's because you tried to steal my mom!

What?

Don't act innocent.

That special handshake,

she only does with me and Kel,

and I saw her do it with you.

You don't deserve it yet.

Your mom is a good parent, and she loves me.

It's not my fault.

I deserve to be happy and loved,

just like any other kid in this world.

Yeah. That's the key phrase.

My mom.

She's mine now too.

-Back off, Dylan! -You back off.

Before something bad happens to you.

Like your Aunt DD.

She's a bad person,

and bad things happen to bad people.

And right now, you're skating on thin ice, my brother.

Get out my room before I kick your ass.

That's your one warning.

Oh, no. You got it twisted.

This was your warning.

[grunting]

[groans] You little--

[grunting]

Get off me!

[Mason screams]

-Ah! Get off! -Hey! Hey!

Hey, what are y'all doing, man?

Get up! Get up!

Mason, what is your problem, man?

We don't fight in this house, all right?

-He started it! -And I'll finish it too!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.

That is enough. Dylan, go to your room right now!

-But Dad! -No, Dylan,

get to your room right now. I'm not playing.

Mason, what are you doing, man?

We don't fight in this house.

[insects chirping]

[knocks on door]

-[Caleb] Hey, what's up, man? -[Ava] Hey, son.

I came to apologize

about how I acted earlier,

and I just wanted to tell you, it's...

there's something wrong with Dylan.

There's something. I promise you.

Baby, what's going on? Come here.

I wanna go back to when he wasn't here.

I don't like him being here.

I want my real family back.

Babe, I understand you may just be upset

or maybe even a little jealous.

-Yeah, buddy. -But you have to consider

Dylan's feelings too.

I mean, we adopted him.

We can't just give him back. That's not how it works, son.

Then do something!

Please.

Ever since he got here,

things have been weird,

and I haven't even felt comfortable near him.

And how Aunt DD almost died,

I think he has something to do with that too.

-What? -Hey. Whoa.

That's a wild accusation, man. Why do you think that?

He told me bad things happen to bad people like Aunt DD.

Can't you guys see?

He's not a good fit for this family.

[sighs] Hey, come over here. Come here.

Hey, it's gonna be okay, okay?

[Mason] Okay.

Just take a deep breath.

Hand.

As long as I'm here...

I'll always be loved.

It's gonna be okay.

Hey. Me and your mom

will talk about some options, okay?

-Go get some rest. -Okay.

I love you, guys.

-Good night. -We love you too.

We love you too.

[sighs]

-Wow. -What is that all about?

What do we do?

[Ava] He really seems to be bothered by it.

Maybe we should look into some other options.

I mean, Mason is our biological son

and Dylan is just adopted.

Maybe we should look into finding him a new home.

Okay. I guess I'll call the agency in the morning

and see what our options are.

We have to.

Mason is our son.

And clearly, he's not happy.

[sighs]

Dylan's gonna be devastated,

but you're right.

Mason's our son. He's our priority.

We'll figure it out.

[sighs]

You're not giving me back.

-[upbeat music] -[birds chirping]

[upbeat music]

A-Rod? Here you go, boy.

A-Rod!

A-Rod? A-Rod.

Oh, my gosh. Mom!

[music continues]

[Ava screams]

[pot cover clanking]

[tense music]

[phone ringing]

Spade speaking.

Yes. Uh, yes,

I would like to speak with somebody

regarding an attempted assassination.

Can you be more specific?

Yeah. Okay. So, a little--

a little boy tried to kill me but he didn't.

And I survived,

but now I gotta-- I gotta find that little nigga

and I gotta make him pay for what he did to me.

Whoa, whoa. I'mma need you to calm down.

How about we start with your name?

My...okay.

My name is Denise L. Grinner.

I am 34 years old and I serve my country loud and proud!

Oh, wow. So, you served?

What, Army? Navy? Marines?

-Which one? -[Denise] Army.

[chuckles] You know, my pops was in the army.

I wanna say thank you for your service.

Okay. Listen.

Are you trying to flirt with me,

or are you trying to help me?

[Det. Spade] No, I'm not flirting with you.

I'm just making a conversation.

So, Ms. Grinner, you said that this kid tried to kill you,

or he's trying to kill you?

Yes, yes. Okay.

So-so-so my sister,

she adopted this little boy

and everybody thought that he was so cute and so innocent.

Only that little boy ain't innocent, okay?

He tried to kill me.

That little boy took a golf club,

knocked my ass down over a flight of steps,

and then cracked me on up.

I then hit my damn head so hard,

I got into a coma.

I'm just-- I'm just now waking up.

Listen. They said I might not remember

what was going on when I woke up.

But you don't ever forget them little evil eyes

that I seen on them stairs.

You ain't never gon' forget that.

Really?

Look. Ms. Grinner, forgive me,

but this story doesn't sound real.

Maybe you just bumped your head too hard when you fell.

-Okay. Uh, D-d-d-detective... -[Det. Spade] It's Spade.

Detective Spade is my name.

[Denise] Spade. Listen.

You need to get this little boy before he kills somebody, okay?

He gon' hurt somebody else if you don't get him.

Uh-hmm.

So, um, is there any reason

why this little boy would want to attempt

to kill you or hurt you?

[Denise] No!

All right. Well, maybe I...um, all right.

So-so, I had--I had said a couple things to him

that he didn't like.

Uh, couple of jokes went over his head.

It was the caucacity of it all, but I swear.

He just crazy. It's really nothing else.

So, how am I supposed to attempt to help you

or take action if you don't even have a reason

why this little boy wanna kill you?

[Denise] I know that this sounds crazy,

but look, I just... I need you to believe me.

The boy's name is Taylor Andrews.

He lives with my sister and my brother...

uh, my brother-in-law.

It's Ava and Caleb Andrews.

They live on 4501 Elm Street.

[chuckles] Elm Street?

So, I guess Freddy Krueger is after you

in your dreams too, right?

[Denise] Okay. Look.

I can--I can see how that sounds when I say it.

Listen, ma'am. Call me back when you got some concrete evidence.

Until then, please do not waste my time.

-Thank you. Goodbye. -[Denise] No, no, no, no.

I'm telling you-- I'm telling you to...don't--

-Another prank call? -Oh, my God.

One of the worst since I've transferred here.

A woman who serves in the army says

that her sister's new adopted child is trying to kill her

and they live on Elm Street.

[laughter]

-Yeah. I think she was-- -Elm Street?

-Yeah. -Hmm.

I got that, uh, Johnson file

you needed earlier.

-Oh, perfect. -Yeah.

[sighs]

Damn.

I guess that story does sound kinda sketchy.

[Ava] It's me, Ava. Leave a message.

Dammit, voicemail! No, no, no, no.

Ava, look. I gotta talk to you

about that little boy you've adopted.

He crazy, girl.

He's crazy.

You gotta get out of there, okay?

I can't say too much over the phone, but I'm coming.

Just get out of there, okay?

[groans] God dang-it.

I gotta...nurse?

[dramatic music]

[keys jingling]

All right, man. Let's go. Game-time's in 30 minutes.

We don't wanna be late.

I still don't know what happened to A-Rod.

The cage was locked and I only unlock it when I feed him.

Who knows? Maybe you forgot.

It's been a long week.

I'm really sorry, Mom, for A-Rod being in your soup.

[Ava] It's okay, sweetheart.

You just have to be a little more careful next time.

I'm sorry too.

I know how much you love Little A-Rod.

Hey. How many runs are you gonna get today?

Three.

Make it four for A-Rod?

Yeah, sounds good.

Make it five and we'll take you off punishment.

[both laugh]

I still don't know

why I'm on punishment.

You're fighting with your brother.

He's not my brother!

-Mason. -Mason. Hey.

-He's part of this family now. -[Mason] Not this family.

This is the Andrews

and he's not one of us.

Whatever.

I'm gonna be in the car.

I can't wait till you guys get rid of him.

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

[tense music]

Ava!

[panting] Ava! Caleb!

[suspenseful music]

[Denise] I need to talk to y'all.

I need to talk to you about Taylor.

My name is Dylan.

[gunshot]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Whoa.

[Ava] What was that?

[Denise panting]

[gasping] Denise?

Oh, my God. Denise, what happened?

Denise, wake up.

Wake up, Denise.

Dylan, what are you doing with that gun?

And why are you wearing Kelvin's clothes?

Maybe if I was more like Kelvin, you wouldn't wanna give me away.

Maybe Mason would've liked me more.

But I have no choice.

I just wanted to be happy,

but Mason had to go all crazy on me like a little bitch.

He's worse than all my sisters.

Why, Dylan?

Why?

Because Mason is a liar.

He started doing things and blaming it on me.

So, I had to get him back.

[chuckles]

It wasn't fair.

Dylan, please put the gun down so we can talk.

[Dylan] No.

I'm sorry, Mom, but there's no time for talking.

You know, I really liked you.

Nothing personal,

I just can't go back.

Go back where?

I heard you telling Dad you were gonna give me back.

[Ava] Dylan, please.

We were just discussing scenarios like adults do.

We discuss things, especially when it comes to our children.

[Dylan] You're lying!

I thought you loved me.

Dylan, I love you.

You're my son.

Hand.

Uh, uh, uh.

As long as I'm here...

[dramatic music]

I'll always be loved.

I'm sorry.

I love you, Mom.

[grunts]

[panting]

Dylan, no!

[gunshot]

I knew I couldn't trust you.

[rifle cocks]

[Caleb sighs]

All right.

I can't wait to tell Aunt DD and Mom about this win.

-I know. -Championships, baby.

I'm always gonna make sure you look good out there, man.

I'm proud of you.

Your mom's gonna be proud. Take your shoes off, boy.

[Mason] MLB. I told you I know how it worked.

You know the drill.

Welcome home, Dad, Mason.

-Aunt DD! -Hey, hey.

Dylan, give me the gun now.

-What did you do? -Dylan, what did you do?

What did you do? Give me the gun.

-Dylan, give me the gun. -You want the gun?

-I'll give you the gun. -[Mason] Dylan, what did you do?

I'll give you the gun.

[gunshot]

-[grunting] -Dad!

-[grunts] -Daddy.

Mason, run!

-[grunting] -[suspenseful music]

[rifle cocks]

[gunshot]

[grunting]

Come here.

-[grunting] -[screams]

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

[Caleb] Baby. Baby.

[grunts] Baby, are you okay?

Baby, baby, say something.

Baby, baby, say something, please.

-[Ava] I'm okay. -Oh, my God, baby.

I'm okay.

Oh, my God.

[Ava] I'm hit.

You'll be okay, baby. Just breathe.

Just breathe, okay? [panting]

[Ava] Mason's right about Dylan.

He shot at me and Denise.

Is she okay?

I'm calling 911, baby.

I'm calling 911.

[panting] 911!

My wife has been shot, please.

We need help, please.

Yes, my adopted son shot my wife in the back.

Please. We're at 4501 Elm Street.

Please hurry! We need help.

Yes, yes. She's been shot in the back.

Just hurry!

Oh, my God. They're coming, baby.

They're coming. Just breathe.

-Oh, my God. -Baby...

I love you, baby. It's gonna be okay.

Take care of Mason for me, okay?

[Caleb] Baby, don't say that.

[panting]

Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Where did he go?

[suspenseful music]

Where'd he go?

Dylan. Dylan.

Please, Dylan, don't.

Why are you doing this, man?

She deserved it.

She was a liar.

I heard you two talking about it.

I ain't going back to that stupid crazy house again.

Dylan, we'll work this out, okay?

We're not mad. I promise.

That's bullshit and you know it.

I already killed DD and Ava's dying.

It ain't no hope for me,

and you're next!

Dylan, please.

-[grunts] -[Caleb] Mason, get the gun!

-Get it! -[both grunting]

[gunshot]

-Spade. -Yeah.

Get this.

I just got a call from 911

coming in from 4501 Elm Street.

He said a kid just went crazy and shot his mother.

I'll be damned. So, she wasn't lying?

-What are the odds? -Hey, Mike.

-Give me an ambulance over to-- -They're already on the way.

-Let's go. Yeah. -Let's go.

[both grunting]

-Mason. -[grunting]

Mason.

[grunts] Mason.

[rifle cocks]

Mason, get back.

Mason, move.

[grunting]

Mason, move!

[grunts]

-Move! -Put the gun down!

-On the ground now! -[Caleb] Don't shoot.

-Don't shoot. -On the ground now!

-[Caleb] Help my wife. -Hey, cuff him.

Hey, get somebody in here to help her.

-Sweep the house. -[Mason] Stop it.

Kiddo.

[boy screams]

[police sirens wailing]

[eerie music]

I think this might be the worst case

since I've transferred here.

Oh, for sure.

[Det. Spade] I feel bad for this fam.

Who's in charge here?

That would be me.

-Detective Miller. -Spade.

-Detective Stanton. -Nice to meet you.

This is my partner, Jones.

So, please tell me that you have Dylan locked

in the back of one of those cop cars or something chained up.

Sir, by the time me and my guys arrived,

he was gone.

What?

-Yeah. -Is everybody okay?

Well, the mom and her sister were dead on arrival.

Neither one of them stood a chance.

[sighs] So what are we gonna do now?

We gotta find the kid. We gotta find him now.

Hey, I want all hands on deck.

We search this entire place.

On it.

You and me, let's...

[eerie music]

[doorbell rings]

My parents just got into an accident,

and I have nowhere else to go.

Can you guys please help me?

Yeah. Uh, look, I'm so sorry, little guy.

-What's your name? -Kelvin.

-Oh, honey, we have to help him. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Come on, come on. -Kelvin, come in here, sweetie.

-Come in. Come in. -[Kendra] We're gonna take care

-of you, okay? -[Jason] Hey, hey, hey.

[Kendra] Oh, my God. It's okay.

-Hey, hey. -[Kendra] It's okay, buddy.
