Previously on L .A. Law.

When's the big move?

I think we ought to wait for a while.

This morning you were off for it?

Your office called.

Next week, your father's coming to visit.

My memories are of a drunken father, a crying mother, and a terrified baby

brother. We're trying to help.

No. No, you're not. You're not trying to help. You're trying to convict these

people. Who's to blame here, Ann?

The people in South Central for not getting their fair share or the rest of

Do you need something?

No.

I'm done, Daddy.

Who are you?

Bad dream.

You're worth nightmare.

I'm Allison Morales.

Daniel's wife.

That is Allison.

That was not too long after we were married.

I can't tell if this is the woman who came to the house. Gwen, please, believe

me. It's not the woman.

What are you doing?

Whipping egg whites.

Lemon meringue pie is my husband's favorite.

Who let you in here?

I want us to be friends.

Aren't you going to stay for dinner?

Next case.

Case number 47652, People v.

Crawford.

Mr. Mantle, is that your client?

Yes. How you doing?

I spoke with the arresting officer.

Police say the shooter was driving your car, wearing your jacket.

Told him I didn't do it. Just give me back the jewelry.

That's not happening.

The DA is cracking down on gang killing once you try as an adult.

Look, man, you just do your thing and I'll do mine.

Everything will be cool, eh? People versus Alejandro Cruz.

Next round, counselor.

Ready, your honor.

Stand up.

He's not standing.

Stand up.

Your client has some sort of disability, Mr. Morales?

One moment, your honor.

This is my turf. These are my rules.

Get your ass off that bench.

Otherwise, this judge will send you away for life.

Mr. Morales, I'm waiting.

What the hell are you doing in my car?

Be cool. I can only put one scratch on it. Get out.

Alejandro's brother, Mitchell.

What do you want?

AK deuces off that dude. Not my brother. They make the shooting look like

Alejandro did it. His own gang fed him up? That's what they do, man. So nobody

snitches. How?

Boss of the deuces made my brother hold a gun after it was used.

Alejandro's pinched all over that thing.

For insurance?

Not anymore.

I don't know if you got the gun.

Dudes just can't blackmail my brother. No, you can't give this to me. Dude,

just makes trouble.

Better you than me, man. Hey, hey, hey!

Anybody know the whereabouts of our Mr. Morales?

He had a pro bono arraignment this morning.

Then let's begin.

First, people versus Emery Lewis and Gary Stubbs. I should hope those animals

who beat you will finally get convicted.

Unfortunately, the eyewitness backed out. She's afraid of reprisals from

neighborhood kids if she testifies. That shouldn't affect our case. Stewart was

really convincing at the prelim. He'll do even better at trial tomorrow.

Next, Marciante versus Bernheimer Memorial Hospital.

That's mine.

Anthony Marciante's girlfriend is brain dead after an automobile accident.

She's also 18 weeks pregnant.

And being used as an incubator to bring the baby to term. I caught this story on

the news. That's grotesque. We're seeking a court order to keep her body

functioning long enough to deliver the baby. However, the girlfriend's mother

wants to pull the plug and bury her daughter. Oh, I agree. The woman's dead,

God's sake. Arnie, we're talking about a potential human life.

Mr. Marciante wants to be a father. He should have thought about that before

driving himself and his girlfriend off the road drunk. He killed her, and now

wants to keep her. It was an accident. He still has rights. So does the girl's

mother. All right, folks, we're all on the same team.

Mr. Morales, honored that you could join us.

How was the arraignment?

Uh, people versus Alejandro Cruz.

He's charged with shooting a news vendor who refused to pay protection money.

Any extenuating circumstances, Daniel?

No, Leland, not really. I'm trying to have Cruz tried in juvenile court, but

right now that's looking doubtful. Well, if there's no other business, we're

adjourned.

Melina, I need your advice.

What is it?

Well, we can't talk here, and actually I should speak first with my client.

Cruz? Yeah, I may be in trouble on this one.

I'll catch you later.

All right.

I have an appointment.

Oh, you do? Fine.

You can go right in. Mr. Mulaney?

Yeah.

I'm looking for my son, Tommy.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Roxanne.

Yeah?

Roxanne Melman.

Well, your son and I used to work together when he was here.

What, did he get fired?

No, no.

Tommy works at the district attorney's office now. Oh, truth, justice, the

American way, huh?

I guess him and me sort of lost touch.

I haven't been in the same room with him since his wedding to Blondie.

If I'd have known the airlines didn't let you smoke anymore, I don't think I

would have made the trip.

Well, I'd be glad to take you over to Tommy's office.

Don't bother. I'll go down and get a cab.

Well, LA's not like Boston.

Here you have to call for a ride.

Now, how did you know I'm from Boston?

Well, Tommy talks about you.

He's a good kid.

Like this one. Yours?

I'm friends.

I'll just go find somebody to watch, Lucy, and we'll go.

Thanks.

Anthony, if you would, tell the court about the events leading up to your

accident.

Karen and I had been up in the mountains above San Bernardino.

We'd been fighting a lot, so we decided to spend the weekend together alone to

see if we could work things out.

Driving home, I had a few drinks.

More than a few.

I fell asleep at the wheel.

I came away with a few cuts and bruises.

Karen was badly hurt. She went into a coma.

When did you first learn...

That Karen was pregnant?

Just after the accident.

In the emergency room.

And when I heard... It was a shock.

And I'm still trying to take it in.

But Karen is gone.

And now there is a new life.

When the doctors told me that they might be able to save the baby, I told them

to try.

Do you want to be a father?

More than anything.

I owe this to Karen and my daughter.

The, uh, the OB did an ultrasound.

I want to name the baby Michelle.

Are you ready to be a father, Anthony? I think so.

I've stopped drinking.

And, uh, I've been working very hard. I just received a promotion.

I have a lot of support from friends and the staff at the hospital.

No further questions, John.

Mr. Pavlik?

Mr. Marciani, at the time of the accident, your blood alcohol level was

Is that correct? Nearly twice the legal limit. I've already pled guilty. I have

no excuse.

As I said, I've stopped drinking.

Your abstinence is admirable, right in time for sentencing, but too late for

Karen. I have to live with this forever.

According to obstetricians at Bernheimer, the fetus is only 18 weeks

midway through its second trimester. To your knowledge... Can that fetus be

brought to term before the mother's body begins deteriorating? I was told there

was no way of knowing.

Were you also told that even if the fetus survived, there is a 50 % chance

will be grossly premature with a real possibility of brain damage? There's an

equal chance that she will be born perfectly healthy.

You are charged with DUI and vehicular manslaughter. Should you be sentenced to

jail, who will care for your child?

I will face that when the time comes. Right now, what's important is rescuing

baby.

Look, I have... The woman I love is dead.

That doesn't mean that our baby should die too.

Pop.

Long time.

It's February in New England. I was freezing my can.

Welcome to California.

Um, you met Roxy?

Oh, she says Blondie's gone.

That's too bad. You never knew a good thing when you had it.

Oh, you got a smoke?

Actually, I quit.

Quit?

Why, you...

Left that nice office for this hellhole, working with lowlifes, coming from the

airport. I was surprised to see about as many niggers and spics camping in the

streets as we have in Boston.

Pop. Neighborhood grew so sour, I couldn't let his mother go for a walk

Hey, don't start about Mom, huh?

Tommy, Tommy, I'm sure your father didn't mean any harm. Hey, you have no

about this guy.

Even he doesn't know what he means. Tommy. No, this is my son's way of

his dad feel welcome.

You made your point.

I am not staying with you. I'm going to rent a room and a hotel.

No, I never said that you couldn't stay with me. Not in so many words. Look,

it's just I'm under a lot of pressure lately here with this child. It

matter. I rate you better. As a matter of fact, you didn't.

I'll fly home tomorrow.

Not a problem?

Mr. Mulaney.

Mr. Mulaney, please don't go.

Roxy.

You're a real sweet man.

Her name's Roxanne.

How funny.

After the arraignment, your brother was waiting in my car.

Man, careful.

Mitchell, he steal your car before you blink.

He wanted me to know why you're so loyal to the deuces.

Mitchell don't know Jack.

He don't belong to a gang.

I'm loyal because my boys are gonna take care of me.

I got five clean alibi witnesses.

Perfect.

Five gang kids with scars and tattoos. I'm convinced.

The deuces have the murder weapon with your prints on it.

Mitchell, say that.

Your own gang is holding you hostage.

Man, you don't know.

It don't work that way. I have the gun.

Mitchell said he snatched it clean.

The deuces are going to be crazy.

You gotta give the gun back.

The deuces set you up.

Don't you get it?

They killed somebody, put your prints on the gun, and conned you into thinking

it would stay in juvenile court.

You better hope I can make a deal. No, no deals.

Alejandro, you don't owe these guys your freedom. You don't know what I owe them

and what I don't owe them. You are sure to be convicted. Just give the gun back

and beat the damn case. You're not listening.

What happens when you lose?

That's not a problem, Morales.

Plenty of deuces in here to keep me company.

Dr. Schuster, is Karen existing on her own? No.

Presently, she's connected to a respirator which breathes for her. In

every body function is being monitored.

To the best of your knowledge, will she ever recover?

No. The damage to Karen's brain stem was massive and irreparable.

Does the baby appear healthy? So far.

There's at least another 10 weeks until viability, that is, able to live outside

the womb.

And has a baby this young ever survived incubation in a maternal cadaver? I know

of a 22 -week fetus that was delivered healthy.

As for Karen's child with persistence and luck, it can be done. Thank you,

doctor.

Dr. Schuster, am I right that once the brain stem is gone, theoretically, it's

the same as if the corpse is decapitated?

Yeah. That's correct.

Thus, you are regulating either by machine or medication Karen's blood

Yes. Body temperature?

Yes. Blood sugar?

Hormone levels? Blood gases?

Hydration? Yes.

Every body function is constantly monitored.

How many of your ICU staff are involved in this experiment?

Objection to the use of the word experiment.

I'll take that under advisement, Counselor.

Answer the question, Doctor.

Between physicians, nurses, pathologists, technicians, roughly 35

three shifts.

Well, even assuming this baby has no postnatal problems, which in all

she probably will, the hospital bill calculates out roughly to $400 ,000.

Who's going to pay?

Anthony Marciati? Objection.

Overruled. Mr. Pavlik, I can't equate saving a human life with dollars. Then

me do it for you. Every day in cities across America, infants die.

of malnutrition and diarrhea because mothers are unable to afford a $6 bottle

Pedialyte. Objection. Give me $400 ,000. I'll open a clinic serving 300 sick

children. Objection. Lies human beings already on this planet, ignored by our

health system, desperate for help. That's enough, Mr. Pavlik.

Nothing further.

Chili. Coming up.

So why'd you call?

Thought we should talk.

About what?

After the preliminary hearing the other day, I saw you with your son.

What, you're about three?

I haven't seen you in a while.

I'm trying to understand.

I want to know why you and your friend pulled me from my car and tried to beat

me to death.

What did I do to you?

Come on, talk to me.

Forget it.

Must have been crazy coming down here alone.

Why?

Free? Yeah, a little.

Next one. Come on, what do you want? Oh, I see.

Seems like old times.

Maybe I need protection.

From me?

Look, man.

Somebody did me like you, first chance I get, I'd be looking to do the same

thing back.

That's not why I'm here.

You were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Guarantee if you had been in my shoes, you'd be doing the same thing. No, I

wouldn't. I would not have done the same thing. Because this pattern of violence

has got to stop, don't you see? Because you're a pencil.

Yeah, that's right.

Little man gets ticked off.

Thinks he can come down here and change the world. He can't. Hey, I'm talking to

you, man.

Hey, yo.

Thanks for coming.

So, what's the secret about the crew piece?

I have the gun used in the shooting.

Alejandro's brother lifted it from the leader of the AK Deuces gang and dropped

it on me outside the courthouse.

Lucky you.

Yeah.

Deuces were using it for leverage. It has Alejandro's prints on it, but he

didn't pull the trigger.

You believe this kid?

Yeah, I do.

I tried to get him to make a deal, but he's playing the true blue gang member.

He told me to give the piece back.

Besides me, who else knows about this?

Those two.

And I'm not about to put my career in the hands of a 14 -year -old carjacker

a 16 -year -old gangbanger brother.

Are you sure no one else knows?

I don't think so.

Good.

At least that'll give us some time.

Daniel? Daniel Morales?

Yeah. You're ordered to appear in front of Deputy D .A. William Davidoff. What's

this all about?

I'm being subpoenaed before a grand jury.

And, Mr. Morales, bring the gun.

This is not simply your affair, Daniel. The entire firm's exposed.

Douglas? I can handle it. Trust me. It's not a matter of trust.

Our relationship with the DA's office is critical to our criminal practice. I'm

not about to jeopardize that. I came back as soon as I could. What's up?

Daniel's been subpoenaed to testify at the grand jury and produce the murder

weapon in the Cruz case.

What? You have the gun?

Leland, you don't want to know the answer to that question.

Look, let's proceed on a strictly hypothetical basis.

Assume, for the sake of argument, that Daniel is in possession of a .38 caliber

handgun believed to have been used in the murder of Ramon Mendez. Now assume

gang that killed Mendez forced Alejandro Cruz to put his prints on that gun in

order to keep him in line.

Nice guys.

Unfortunately, there's no attorney -client privilege to withhold evidence.

People versus Fairbanks.

A defense attorney in possession of physical evidence of a crime must...

over to the prosecution.

Even if it convicts our client of a crime he didn't commit?

Exactly. I don't care what this case is. I go to jail first, assuming I have the

gun. How is it the DA knew to subpoena you in the first place?

Maybe somebody from the gang tipped him off. Without the gun, Alejandro can't be

controlled. What if he pleads a fifth?

It's worth a shot. Penal Code Section 135 makes it a crime to destroy or

evidence. Well, there you go. Answering may incriminate you. It's a red flag

daring the DA to prosecute Daniel.

We'll all do respect to your commitment and your client. Our client, Leland. I

am not sending this kid to prison for something he didn't do.

Mackenzie Brackman will not have an associate in this firm prosecuted for

suppression of a murder weapon.

Maybe I'm at the wrong phone.

How'd you find me?

Wasn't too tough. I knew you'd be looking for a drink. Roxy said your

about this place was piqued.

Not the only thing piqued. If that gal puts a bottom in my face once more, I

swear... Come on, let's get out of here, huh?

Where are we going, Disneyland?

Bring you something else?

Why not?

A pair of those and another wild turkey.

Anything for you? He'll have the same.

Nothing, thanks.

You're not going to join me? No, I quit.

Yeah, but...

Who takes you seriously?

Gee, you quit smoking, you quit drinking.

What's next for you, the seminary?

Listen, if you're not leaving, I'll see you back in my office.

I came to California to spend some quality time together.

It's almost 30 years, and suddenly you've taken an interest in me. I was

there for you, and don't forget it. Yeah, Pop.

Whatever you say. Are you calling me a liar? Ah, here we go. Answer me. You

answer me.

Years go by, I'm pitching, no one's catching.

Now all of a sudden you show up pretending we're related?

What's this all about, Pop, huh?

Nothing. I want to know.

Never mind. No, you tell me.

I'm dying.

Sit down. You're blocking the view.

This is every parent's greatest fear, surviving your child.

I'd give everything to change places with Karen.

Mrs. Coleman, before the accident, were you aware that your daughter was

pregnant? Yes.

She told me over Thanksgiving.

And did your daughter say what she intended to do about the baby?

Objection! Hearsay! Exception to state of mind. You may answer the question,

Mrs. Coleman. Karen said she wasn't sure, but if she decided to keep the

She said she didn't want Anthony playing any part in raising him. Objection.

Overruled, Counselor. Did your daughter say why she didn't want Mr. Marciante's

help in raising the baby?

She was planning on breaking up with Anthony.

She felt he was too immature to be a father, much less a husband.

That's not true.

Mr. Marciante. You may have loved her, but she didn't love you.

Mrs. Coleman, what exactly are you asking this court to do?

Let me bury my daughter.

Every day, I sit beside her bed, watching her.

I know she's not alive, and there's nothing to be done.

Still, I want to protect Karen.

I want to take care of my girl. I can't just abandon her.

Thank you, Mrs. Coleman.

Nothing further.

Mrs. Coleman.

All of us here respect your feelings.

But what about your daughter's feelings?

She's almost reached her third trimester. Isn't it apparent that she

keep the baby?

No. She never said so.

Anthony Marciante may not be your idea of the perfect father. Still, doesn't he

have the rights of any father?

And what about this unborn baby's rights?

Objection calls for legal conclusions.

Sustained.

Mrs. Coleman.

Do you have any other children?

No.

Karen was my only child.

Then out of all this pain as we mourn her death, why not let your daughter

present you with the gift of your only grandchild?

Don't you think I want to be a grandmother?

That if there was the slightest chance that this is what Karen wanted, I would

hold on for dear life.

Karen was my baby.

Please, let me take care of her.

Let her go in peace.

So, when you turned the corner, Mr. Markowitz, what happened?

There was a large crowd, about 25 people or so, standing in the middle of the

street. In fact, didn't this mob surround your car and block your path?

Well, they were outraged by the verdict.

I think this was a way for them to vent... Objection!

Speculation. Mr.

Markowitz, how was your windshield broken?

It was smashed with a baseball bat.

Then the door was thrown open, I was pulled from the car, and a man started

beating me with the bat.

Do you see that man here today?

What about the man who pulled you from the car?

Mr. Markowitz?

Mr. Markowitz.

Your Honor, request a brief recess.

Counsel, approach the bench.

Enlighten me.

Your Honor, Mr. Markowitz had no problem at the prelim.

Well, he's having a problem now.

Request I'd be allowed to confer with the witness.

Court's adjourned for ten minutes.

What's going on, Stuart?

Did Lewis get to you?

No, it's not like that. I'm the one who asked him to meet me.

You what? What are you talking about? Yesterday, we sat two feet apart. If he

wanted to hurt me, he could have done it. Why would you get together with the

defendant? Tommy, I was sitting there talking to this man.

And all I could think of was what was going to happen to his son. If you don't

think I'll declare you a hostile witness or hit you with a... Tommy, we have a

chance to make a difference in this man's life. By sending him to jail.

great. He serves time. And then he comes out even more convinced that the

world's against him, and then he passes that on to his son. Ann, we have got to

break the cycle.

Somebody's got to take the first step. You are not a one -man justice system.

It's my choice to testify... Let the jury convict and the judge sentence.

my choice, Ann, my choice.

except the plea bargain that they offered.

Karen Coleman is dead.

But will this court let her die with dignity?

Her next of kin... asked this court to put an end to this medical experiment so

that Karen's remains may be buried and her spirit put to rest.

What do we know about Karen's wishes?

We know that she purposely kept her boyfriend in the dark about her

because she didn't want him interfering in her decisions.

She didn't trust Mr. Marcianti to act as a responsible father to her child.

And as it turned out, she was right.

She's dead by his hand, the fetus forever deprived of its natural mother.

nature take its course.

Let this woman be buried.

The wonder of medicine is that we can prevent nature from taking its course.

Horrific epidemics have been halted by a single vaccine.

A human body is kept functioning so that a child may be born.

If Anthony and Karen's child were one week from viability, would we be

this?

How about three weeks?

Six weeks?

Your Honor, we're asking for ten. Can that somehow be morally or legally

different? The rescue of a baby in utero is an ancient medical tradition.

It's called a severe infection because it's been a legal obligation since the

time of Caesar, an ancient Rome, to deliver the baby if the mother died.

Karen Coleman is dead, and her privacy rights... died with her.

Today, Your Honor, we must take care of the living, and that includes not only

the father, but little Michelle as well.

Here they are.

Mr. Mullaney, does the DA's office plan on filing any additional charges? I will

make my statement later.

Were you surprised by Mr. Markowitz's testimony?

Why the plea bargain? I said later.

Mr. Markowitz, you seem to recant earlier testimony. Miss Kelsey, we have

comment on it.

Mr. Markowitz.

Do you have a statement?

Look, it's not important what I say.

Mr. Holmes can do the talking.

What is it you want to do now, sir?

Look, all I want to do is just go home. I'd like to say something.

It's time for the criminal justice system to guarantee equal rights to

man, no matter his race, creed, or his color.

Mr. Morales, are you presently counsel of record to Alejandro Cruz?

I am.

During the course of your representation, did you come into

caliber handgun?

I refuse to answer on the grounds my answer may incriminate me. Mr. Morales,

the moment, you are not the target.

of a criminal investigation.

On what basis are you invoking the Fifth Amendment?

I refuse to answer on the grounds my answer may incriminate me. Ms. Paros,

you tell me how your client has a right not to testify?

Section 135 makes it a misdemeanor to conceal evidence.

Admitting possession admits past concealment.

How about that, Mr. Davidoff?

Assuming Section 135 applies, the District Attorney's Office is authorized

grant of immunity.

We will not prosecute.

Nothing he says can incriminate him.

Mr. Morales, do you persist in refusing to answer?

I do, Your Honor. I mean no disrespect.

Then I must find you guilty of contempt.

Pursuant to CCP Section 1219, you are herewith remanded to the custody of the

sheriff to keep and confine you until such time as my order is obeyed.

Mr. Morales, the keys to your liberty are in your own pocket.

Make sure you tell the sitter so she stays with Lucy.

Yes, I will.

I find Mr.

Marciante's testimony to be credible and sincere.

I believe he may now have the strength of purpose to undertake the role of

parent, but his commitment to Karen and to her pregnancy prior to Karen's death

does not demonstrate the kind of relationship which outweighs the obvious

now being caused for Mother, who speaks for Karen as her legal guardian.

Furthermore, I... I cannot justify the heroic effort... nor the expense,

which could be better directed elsewhere.

Simply because medical advances allow us to do something does not necessarily

mean that is what we ought to do.

Karen Coleman is entitled to a dignified burial.

Therefore, I direct the hospital to remove all life support systems

All of you involved have my deepest sympathies.

This court is adjourned.

Give me the word, we'll go right to the Court of Appeals.

Grab on!

Why don't get in any fresh air while you're in town?

This is Los Angeles.

There is no fresh air.

Roxy's waiting in the lobby. Why don't we go grab a bite to eat, huh?

Where the hell are waitresses?

If they're not hovering, you can't find them.

Pop, I'm going to get a snorted dinner.

Oh, look at that.

She's smiling at me.

Whatever you say, Pop, you're drunk.

Just pleasantly lit.

You know, you're beginning to sound just like a brother. How is he, anyway?

Good. Spoke with him last weekend.

I got a card at Christmas.

Suppose he thought he had to.

Ah, he's a good kid.

He always listened to you, though.

That's for sure.

Gee, this place has really changed.

Roxy, you were supposed to wait.

Sorry, Red. We got talking about Tommy's little brother and how he always did

what his big brother told him never made.

Saxonwood Park, you remember?

Can we get out of here?

Saxonwood? The maple tree, you must remember.

Why are we dredging up the past? Come on, Tommy, I want to hear this.

You must understand, my boys never wanted to stay home.

And it used to worry their mother sick, and she'd send me out in the dark to

search for them. But I knew where to look.

And I could hear them, both of them, laughing, 50 feet up in that tree,

the time of their lives. Yeah.

We were one big happy family.

We even had to pull the fucking ladder once to get him down.

You can't.

You can't do that.

Hi.

Hi. I just got a call from the DA's office.

Dubs and Lewis both got probation with 1 ,500 hours community service.

Hmm.

You, uh, ran out of the courthouse so fast we didn't get a chance to talk.

About what?

Well, I know you were surprised by what I did.

No, I'm not surprised by anything you do lately.

But I have to take care of myself.

I'm filing a civil suit against the city.

For what?

Loss of consortium. Are you serious?

Yeah. And?

We've been under tremendous pressure from this trial.

Now you want to make our sex life public?

Stuart, ever since you were injured, you're not the man I married.

If I can't have you back, someone's going to pay.

Are you okay?

Come on, Rox.

Tommy. Roxy.

Please don't start.

Yeah, your father was trying.

Hey.

You want to hear the truth?

Why we really used to shimmy up that maple?

Every day when I'd come home from delivering the papers, I'd walk in that

and stop.

Try to sense what kind of mood my father was in.

Because I knew if he was drinking, it wouldn't be long before the screaming

would start.

And the slapping.

That's when I'd grab my little brother and run.

Usually I'd just carry him.

He was just out of diapers, barely walking.

But he could climb.

We'd reach that maple tree.

And I'd tell him, Dad's coming. Dad is right behind us.

See, way up in that tree was the only place my old man couldn't catch us when

was drunk, where he couldn't hit us.

And when he says he heard laughing,

we were crying, Roxy.

We were bawling our eyes out there.

Father's Day.

We have over 500 active files, each of which contains material our clients

expect to be kept confidential.

We'll have to escort you.

It must be Melina.

Did Daniel call you?

Gwen.

Said Daniel's in some kind of trouble.

Wanted me to spend the night with Lucy.

He'll be okay.

Tomorrow, I'm sure, everything will be back to normal.

Yeah.

Well, I better get this little girl home.

Get her fed, bathed, and to bed.

Do you have everything you need?

Excuse me.

The officers are currently under search for a .38 caliber handgun. I need to

check your bag.

Does the loaded diaper count?

Gwen, why didn't you talk to Daniel?

I didn't. Why?

What's the name of Lucy's babysitter?

Jeanette.

Oh, my God.

What? That woman just took Lucy.

Move. Move.

Stop the woman with that child. What's going on?

Wait. Grab the elevator.

That's her.

What's going on? What is it, Gwen?

The woman was stalking me. She kidnapped Lucy.

Take the stairs. Move it.

Thanks for waiting. That's where you pick me up, please.

They're gone.

She dropped this.

Oh, my God.

It's my fault.

Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with

the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Amen.

May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you again.

Amen. Amen.

Place your hand with mine.

Lord, I commend to thee the immortal spirits of Michelle Alexandra

and Karen Coleman.

Can I say goodbye?

Please, go now.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his own sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no

evil, for thou art with me.

I brought my death to comfort me.

Thou anointest my head before me.
