- I understand, but look,
forget the trial.

It's too risky.
They have video of the robbery.

- So what do you recommend?

- Your son pleads guilty.
That's what Robbie's doing.

- And I get to go home?

- Up to the judge,
but it's a first offense.

You're 16, gun was a toy,
no violence.

I think we're looking
at a suspended sentence.

- But there is a chance
he might go to jail?

- Not likely.

I know Judge Philpot.
This should be easy peasy.

- Uh... we're going
to need a few days.

- I spoke to the prosecutor.
This is a one day offer.

I say we take it.

You good with this, Kendall?

- I guess.

- I'll let the judge know.

- Do the defendants waive
pre-sentence reports

and stand ready for sentence?

- Yes, Judge.
- Yes, Judge.

- Very well.

Mr. DeGrasso, you look like
you're from a good family.

Because of your minimal
participation in this robbery,

I sentence you
to five years probation.

As for you, Mr. Tyson,

since you displayed
the handgun...

- Well, a toy gun, sir.
And we only took $32...

- Your victims didn't know
it was a toy.

They were in fear
for their lives.

That's armed robbery,
as I'm sure your lawyer

explained to you.

- I did, Your Honor.

- Since you took
the leading role, Mr. Tyson,

I sentence you
to 20 years incarceration.

- Did you say 20 years?

- Yeah, that's right.
Sit down, ma'am.

Counselors, advise your clients
of their right to appeal.

- Wait, Your Honor, please,
just hold on one second.

- Bailiff, take custody
of Mr. Tyson.

- Mr. Buchman, Mr. Buchman.

- Wait, Mom.
[whimpering]

- Why don't you say something?
You're his lawyer.

- It's the judge's call.
There's nothing I can do.

- But you said
he wouldn't go to jail.

- I never said that.

- Mom.

- Well, what do we do now?

- You can appeal.

Call my office; Rebecca
will give you some names.

I have to be in Harrisburg.

[door slams]

- I need to see Mr. Buchman.

- He's with a client.

- My son is his client.
I need to see him now.

- What the...

- I have been calling you
and calling you.

- Take it easy, Ms. Tyson...

- Don't tell me to take it easy.

Why didn't you call me back?

- I was going to...

- Don't lie to me!

You don't care about Kendall.

We listened to you,

and now he's going
to spend his life in jail.

And you don't give a damn.

- No, no.

[both grunting, crying out]

[body thuds, man groans]

- [whimpering] Oh.

[gasping]
No, please.

I didn't do anything.

- Take your purse.

Take your purse!

- Jaden scraped both his elbows
when he fell.

- You pushed him, Tali?

Why?

- He made fun of me on TikTok
because I don't have a mom.

- Well,
there's your explanation.

- Jaden was wrong
to do that, Tali.

But that doesn't excuse
what you did, does it?

I want you to decide
what punishment you deserve.

You can tell me tomorrow.

[phone rings]

Excuse me.

Yes?

Uh, okay.

I have to deal with this.

Thank you for coming in,
Mr. LaCroix.

- Thank you.

[door opens and closes]

- Jaden's a bully.

I don't see why I have
to be punished at all.

- I understand,

but you can't let him goad you
into throwing the first punch.

- Well, that was the only way

I could get him
to stop teasing me.

No one else is going
to stand up for me.

- Tali, you got me,
you got Grandma, Grandpa.

- You're never here.

And Grandma and Grandpa, well,

they probably think
TikTok is a clock.

[school bell rings]

- [scoffs]

I'll pick you up
from school, yeah?

- No.

[cell phone chiming]

- I love you.

[ominous music]

Agent LaCroix.

- We have Denise Tyson, 37.

Walked into
a public defender's office

and started blasting away.

Killed a client,
wounded the lawyer,

took a hostage,
and drove off in their car.

The field office in Philadelphia

is assisting
with the kidnapping.

- No GPS tracking?
- No GPS in the car.

And both phones,
Tyson's and the paralegal's,

are both powered down.

- What's the connection
between Tyson and the lawyer?

- He repped her son, Kendall,
on a robbery beef.

- Well, can't have gone well
if she shot the lawyer.

Tell me more about her.

- Single mom, one kid.

Works as a stylist
at a hair salon,

so mad skills with disguises.

- So she shoots up an office,
an act of explosive rage.

She have a history?
- No prior conviction.

But she was arrested
for attempted murder

in Baltimore 15 years ago.

- Attempted murder?

Well, if at first
you don't succeed...

- The grand jury
didn't indict her.

The case was dismissed
and sealed.

- Still, it's a tangled web.

Hana, start with the coworkers.

Clinton and Crosby, embed
with the kidnapping task force.

Make sure the youngster doesn't
eat them out of their larder.

- I'll do my best.

- And tell them to keep their
fingers away from his mouth.

- Now, there's three reasons
people take a hostage.

Ransom, a human shield,

or leverage
for a set of demands.

Let's find out exactly
what Denise Tyson wants.

- I don't get it.

20 years for a 16-year-old?

- I was as surprised as you are.

- Lawyers are supposed
to be prepared, not surprised.

- It wasn't my decision.
The judge...

- But Ms. Tyson
tried to kill you.

Why do you think that is?

- When you find her, ask her.

[scoffs]
I'm one of the good guys.

People like Ms. Tyson,

they don't appreciate
that I don't get rich

off these court-appointed cases.

- You're a busy, good guy
with a heavy caseload.

[phone buzzes]
- Understatement of the year.

- Over here, Mr. Buchman.

Is that what
this unappreciative woman

complained about,
your lack of attention?

- [scoffs] I tried.

But three calls a day?

"What color tie
should Kendall wear in court?"

"Have I read such
and such a case?"

Endless conversations
with her pastor.

- To save her only son
from prison?

[phone buzzes]

- [scoffs]
Go ahead, Mr. Buchman.

Take the call.

- If that was my child,

I'd want to wipe that smirk
off his face.

- If it was my child,
I wouldn't stop at the smirk.

This guy can't do anything
for Denise Tyson.

But the judge...

- She could leverage him,
assuming she has a plan.

Right now, she just seems
to be going on her gut.

- Well, you heard the lawyer.

She researched the cases,

she enlisted the help
of her pastor.

She might be angry
and desperate,

but not necessarily impulsive.

- Maybe we can get
through to her.

- Throw her a lifeline.

- What do you mean
reconsider the sentence?

- Only for the purposes
of a news interview.

You'll tell the reporter
you thought it over,

and the sentence was too harsh.

- And the interview will be
broadcast this evening.

The hope is
to convince Ms. Tyson

to release the hostage
and surrender.

- Oh, convince her
by giving her what she wants?

And then what?

Every defendant with a grievance

will come back here
waving a gun?

- You can reaffirm
your original sentence

after Tyson's in custody.

- No, this charade won't
do wonders for my integrity.

- And sentencing a child
to 20 years does

when the white kid
got probation?

- Judge, there's precedent.

People v. Maldonado.
A judge from New York

held a phony hearing
to catch a perpetrator.

- No, not in my courtroom.

I'm not going
to be made the fool

'cause you people
can't do your job.

[phone ringing]

- Your Honor, answer the phone.

Have Crosby initiate a trace.

- I don't know Rebecca Zayas.

It's the fourth time
she's called today.

It's probably a wrong number.

- Rebecca Zayas is
Tyson's hostage.

- Oh.

Then you answer it.

- It's probably Tyson.

She knows your voice.

Be positive.
Keep her talking.

And put it on speaker.

- This is Judge Philpot.

- This is Denise Tyson.

You put my son,

my 16-year-old boy
in jail for 20 years.

I need you to take it back.
Please.

- Ms. Tyson,
I know you're upset,

but I can't just change
a legally imposed sentence.

It's not in my legal purview
to do that.

- You need to show me
some respect.

I am telling you what to do.

You want me to shoot this woman?

[foreboding music]

- Ms. Tyson, this is Special
Agent Jess LaCroix of the FBI.

I've been listening
to your conversation,

and I'd like to work with you

to try to get justice
for Kendall.

- You're the FBI?

- Yes, I'm sympathetic
to your concern, Ms. Tyson.

20 years is no justice.

But right now,
I'm concerned about you

and I'm concerned about Rebecca.

- Don't worry about me.

You get the judge
to give his word

that he'll change the sentence.

- I'll give you my word.
I'll try.

But I'd like to ask you
to do something for me.

I'd like you to think about
turning yourself in to me.

- No, I...

My son needs me out here
fighting for him.

- I understand.
You're a good mother.

Maybe you could think
about releasing Rebecca.

That would help

the judge make
a good decision for Kendall.

- I don't know, I...
I...

- You need time to think?
I get it.

Would you like to speak to
your pastor, Pastor Artevius?

I spoke to him, he said
you've got a good heart.

- Please,

I just want my child back.

I want my family...

What the hell are you doing?

- [screaming]
- Get your hand off of that.

- Don't do it, Denise.
Don't hurt her.

- Why would you do that?
- I'm sorry.

- Why would you do that?
- [whimpering]

- It won't help Kendall.
Think of him.

Both: [panting]

- Denise?

Denise?

[sighs]

She went off on the hostage.

- It's Crosby.

Rebecca Zayas' cell pinged
a tower 18 miles from here.

♪

- Get the trunk.

Someone in the front seat.

- Clear.
All: Clear.

- [panting] Help me.

Help me.

- You're safe now, Rebecca.
We got you.

- Go for EMS.

- Hostage is secure.
I repeat, hostage is secure.

- Boss, check this out.

Tyson left the phone powered on.

That's why we were able
to track the signal to the car.

- If Tyson knew enough
to power down the phones

until she needed
to call the judge,

she wouldn't have left it on

unless she wanted us
to find the car and Rebecca.

- So now she's a good Samaritan?

- Maybe not the only reason.

Check recent activity.

- Got the call to the judge.

Five minutes later,

she searched an address
in Brooklyn.

51 Meserole.

- That's her next move.
I'll see you in Brooklyn.

- Brooklyn's all yours.

She knew we'd find that phone,
she knew we'd find the address.

I don't know what
her next move is,

but it ain't Meserole Street.

I don't think she's ready
to give up on her son.

She's got a maternal instinct
on steroids.

She'll do whatever it takes
to satisfy it.

- I heard my mom was
in some kind of trouble.

What did she do?

Mouth off to the judge
or something?

- It's more serious than that.

She tried to kill your lawyer.

Killed one
of his clients instead.

She took a hostage to try
and get your sentence changed.

She's a fugitive now.

- [stammers]

This is all my fault.
This is all my dumbass fault.

I was just trying
to help my mom.

- You can help her now, Kendall.

We want to bring her in alive.
You feel me?

We don't want anyone else
to get hurt.

- What do you want me to do?

- You can tell us the truth
when we ask you a question.

Okay?

We found a map search on a
phone your mother left behind.

We know she's going to Brooklyn.

- My mom don't know
anybody in Brooklyn.

- Good.

Where do you think she'd run to?

- I don't know.

- What about her friends
at the salon?

Anybody there she'd go to
for help?

- [stammers]

Those people at the salon
are not her friends.

- What about the people
from church?

- My mom goes there to pray,
not to hang.

- She got a boyfriend?

- She said she had me,
and that was enough.

- We know she has family
in Baltimore.

- Yeah, Grandpa, but he's
in a nursing home.

- And what about
your father, Kendall?

Was your mother
in touch with him?

- I don't know nothing
about that.

- If you don't know his name,
you can just tell us.

There's no shame.

- When I was little,

after my mom put me to bed,

she told me that one day,
my pa would come get us.

That he was a very important
man with a big house,

with big rooms
for each and every one of us.

And that we'll all be happy.

She said if you look
at the house

from up in the sky,
it looks like a H.

Like...

Like heaven.

But that's just the story
she told me to dream on.

[melancholic music]

Well,

I'm in the big house now.

[door buzzes]

[indistinct chatter]

- They'll meet us
at Denise's place.

[phone locks]

I saw a world of hurt
in that boy's eyes.

- Yeah, I worry about Tali
without her mother.

- She has you.

- What if it's not enough?

That story Kendall told us
about his mother?

[sighs]

My mother's bedtime fairy tale
was about a small house

on a half-acre on the Hudson,

with a husband who came home
sober every night,

and whose idea of a good time
was gardening

and reading stories to his kids.

It's the story she told herself
to get through another day.

- Still, you turned out okay.

You didn't end up in prison.

- No, the difference is
I didn't get caught.

[ominous music]

♪

- Hey, girl.
- Dee?

What are you doing here?

- I need to talk to him.
Where is he?

- Really, Dee?

I don't know.
It's been almost 15 years.

- Well, you don't have
a number or an email?

I really need to see him.

- I don't have anything.

And after what you've done,
I'm not sure I'd give it to you

even if I did.

- Michelle, please.

It's important.
It's for Kendall.

- Dee, you listen to me.
You are all over the news.

I am sorry
for what happened to you,

but I can't get mixed up
in your problems.

If I was you, I'd turn myself
in before they shoot you.

Now, you have to go.

My husband will be home soon
with the kids.

- Michelle, please.

[door slams]

What,
you think you've it done up

all nice and tight, don't you?

[grunts, pottery shatters]

So perfect.

So perfect.

- Ladies at the salon said

Denise only worked
when Kendall was in school.

4:00 p.m., she'd hang up
her hair dryer and head home.

Put out his cookies and milk.

No fraternizing outside of work.

No girls' night.
Only her birthday.

- Yeah, that pretty much jives

with her phone
and email history.

I mean, she'd make calls
to work,

to the high school,
emails with teachers.

No boyfriends
and no regular social contacts.

- Pastor said
she was rock steady

at Sunday service
and Bible class.

Knitted baby clothes
for the charity drive.

Other than that...

- Just your typical church lady
with a gun.

- Welcome to
a teenage wet dream.

Kid's got eight pairs
of Jordans,

matching ball caps.

Supreme, Undefeated.

- I'm guessing this stuff
is expensive.

- Wait until Tali gets older.
Check that.

That bike retails
around a grand.

- How could he afford
this stuff?

- His mother put it
on her credit card.

- Kendall's the center
of his mother's world.

She'd sacrifice her own comfort
for her son.

She's overcompensating
for something.

- Well, at least he felt bad
about it.

He said he did the robbery
to help her out.

- He could've sold
some of this swag.

- And risk hurting
his mother's feelings?

What do we got here?

- A baby spoon.
- A precious baby spoon.

Sterling silver.
Look at the engraving.

- "Mary and her lamb."
- It's for a girl.

At least 100 years old
by the looks of it.

Not something Denise planned
to leave behind.

- She's been spotted.

These were taken at 5:35 a.m.

Police in York
about 50 miles away

responded to a smash and grab
at a local store.

She stole a pair of high heels
and a matching purse.

- Is she going out on a date?

- Wouldn't be my gear
of choice for life on the run.

- She have any connections
in York?

- Yeah, she has a York number
in her contacts.

Here, Michelle Carter.

- Okay.

I want a sweep of all security
video in the York area.

Let's close the net.

- All right,
so she had my number.

We knew each other 15 years ago.

- Has Denise been here?
- She's not a friend.

I don't approve of what she did.

- You didn't answer my question.

- What's that there,
Ms. Carter?

That scratch on the door
looks fresh.

[police radio chatter]

- Denise did that.

She was here yesterday.

I couldn't give her
what she wanted.

- Which was what?

- She wanted to get
in touch with my old boyfriend,

Damon Johnson.

But I don't know where he is.

- Denise also had
a relationship with him?

- They had some hot thing
back in Baltimore.

Then Damon and me got together.

He moved up here with me
when I got this nursing job.

Denise found out,
so she moved up here too.

- She still wanted
to get with Damon?

- She wanted him to live up
to his responsibilities.

Kendall, her son.

Damon was his father.

- What happened to Damon?

- He had drug issues.

But then he started using again,

and I couldn't have that
around me, so... Adios.

- Did Denise say why she wanted
to get in touch with Damon?

- She said she needed him.

Maybe she thinks he'd care.

All he cared about was
chasing his next high.

Okay now?

- Yeah, yeah, thank you.

We'll put a car on the street
in case she shows up again.

- Damon's the fantasy dad,
the one with the big house.

So she's still hoping

he'll come through
for her and Kendall.

- Or punish him
because he hasn't.

- Another spotting.

An hour ago, over
at a gas station in Shiloh.

She got into a car.

- License plate traces back
to a Johnnie Lee Vance.

Registered sex offender,
rape and sexual assault.

- All right.

- I'm going to find a way
for us to be together again.

I'm going to get us some help.

Promise me you'll stay strong?

- I will, Mom,
but I'm worried about you.

- I'll be fine.

- I've got to give in his cell
back his phone now.

He says you can call
the same time tomorrow.

- I'll try.

- I love you, Mom.
All right, stay safe.

[phone beeps]

[clicks tongue]
Thanks.

- Family problems?

- It's all good.

- You and your man have a fight?

- Something like that.

Denise was six months pregnant

Damon came by

She wouldn't give it,

He pushed her,

They put some murder charge

- Attempted murder.
- Yes.

it was self-defense.

- Lately?

I have to check.

My memory's gotten

June.

Can I show you something,
Mr. Tyson?

Does that look familiar?

- Sure.

It's from my wife's side
of the family.

Her great grandmother

was an enslaved woman
in North Carolina.

She fed the master's girls
with that spoon.

When Emancipation came,
she ran north.

Took the spoon to pay her way,
never had to use it.

Been passed down
mother to daughter ever since.

My wife gave it to Denise

Do you mind if I borrow
that picture, Mr. Tyson?

- So long as you return it.

- I will.

Thank you.

She de-balled a guy

And quite frankly, in the realm
of people who've let her down...

You left her

I know what I did.

- So does she.

- Yeah, okay, I deserve that.

But I'm a work

A work in progress.

Wait, you said I left Denise

I'll make sure somebody watches
the house in case she shows up.

Maybe you'd like to kick him
before we go.

- Denise's old neighbors
in Baltimore?

Almost done.
She moved around a lot.

- Send agents to each one in
case she reached out to them.

- Hey, eat your own fries.

- I would, but you ate them all.

- How's that 3-0-2 coming?

- I'm where Agent Barnes
dissed the witness

for being a deadbeat dad.

- And I questioned
the effectiveness

of her interview technique.

- I was telling Damon not
to try putting one over on us.

Because, you know, when I
worked the Bronx for the NYPD,

we called these reformed
addicts "morning glories."

They shine bright in the dawn,
but by nightfall,

they fade back
to their old habits.

- Damon seemed sincere,
didn't he?

- Time will tell, but I'm happy
to be proven wrong.

- [sighs]

Hey, Crosby.

Check out this photo.

Does everything
look right to you?

- No.

See the shadow
on the girl's face?

It's a deeper shade
than the rest.

Yeah, the light's
a little different.

This girl has been
photo-shopped into the picture.

- Denise photo-shopped Karina
into the picture

to make her father happy?

- If that's her daughter.

These sketches
of the young girl,

it's like she doesn't know
what Karina looks like

and she's trying
to figure it out.

- As if she last saw her
when she was two years old.

- Exactly.

She lied about Karina
living with her,

she made up some fairytale
about Damon coming back.

This... this photo.
Look, look.

This...

This is her dream happy family.

But she lost her daughter,
and then her son went to jail.

That's what
broke her emotionally.

Her dream unraveled,

and her with it.

[doorbell rings]

- Hi, I'm sorry to bother you.

My car broke down up the street
and I need to call my brother.

My cell phone's dead.

- Can you stay right there?

Give me the number
and I'll call your brother.

- Now that's silly.
Come in, dear.

- Thank you.

You're Bill and Carol?

- How did you know our names?

- You're my daughter's
foster parents.

- Who?
- Karina Johnson.

- But Karina doesn't
live here anymore.

- Where is she?
What did you do with her?

- Nothing.

We did our best, she was 14...

- She was too much for us.

We gave her back.

- Back?
To who?

Tell me!

- You're that woman on the news.

The one they're looking for.

- Just tell me
where my Karina is.

- We don't know.

- I'm calling the police.
You better leave...

- She's my daughter!

- [stammers] No...

- You gave her back like a dog.

[glass shattering]

- Stop!

No, no, no, no, please.

- You're monsters.

- Please.

- [breathing heavily]

[gunshots, glass shattering]

[both gasping]

[somber music]

- We thought she was going
to kill us.

- And what did happen
to her daughter?

- We couldn't deal with her.

We tried, but she was so angry.

- We've had lots of foster kids.

They test you
before they trust you.

But Karina...

- Do you have
any pictures of her?

- No, she wouldn't let us.

I mean, not even
with the other children.

- All right.
Thank you.

- So that's why Denise came
to Baltimore.

To find Karina.

She thought Damon knew
where she was.

- She's clinging on
to what's left of her family,

the daughter she lost
so long ago.

If we find Karina first,

we catch Denise.

- You can threaten me with
all the subpoenas you want,

the files of foster children,
of minor foster children,

are protected from scrutiny.

- This foster child
would be 19 by now.

She's an adult.

- That's immaterial.

[camera clicks]

What did you just do?

- In case Karina
gets killed by a mother

who's already assaulted
and killed a half dozen people,

I want to remember
the face of the person

who kept us from protecting her.

- Who knows, that photo could
get out to the internet?

- Totally, I can hack her phone
in about two minutes.

You want me to show you?

[keyboard clacks]

[keyboard clacks]

- Karina Johnson was removed
from her mother's care

at age two.

Because of her mother's failure
to provide a safe home

and the presence
of a drug addicted father,

Karina was not returned
to her parents

and remained in the
foster system until age 17.

- What are those notes?

- Comments from her
various foster parents.

- "A smart and talented girl."
"A wild streak."

"Recommended for
a music scholarship."

"Headstrong."

I like this girl.

- What happened when she was 17?

- She'd been placed at age 16
in a new home.

She seemed to do well,

then after a year, she ran away.

- Where'd she run to?

- Miami.

- Didn't anybody look for her?

- The foster parents did.

They hired a private detective,
but they couldn't find her.

- Did Child Services
look for her?

- No.

She was 17.

She was aging out of the system.

It wasn't worth the expense.

- Oh, Karina.

You are so much prettier
than I remember.

What do you think
of Mama's new shoes?

Are they nice?
- Yeah.

- I know blue's
your favorite color.

- Yeah.
[babbles] Yellow.

- Yeah?

You look just like
your little brother, Kendall.

You'll get
to meet him soon, okay?

I think you'll like him.
- Ice cream!

- I know you're going
to like him.

- Ice cream.
- What are you doing?

Get away from my daughter.

- No, I was just telling her
how pretty she is.

- I don't care
what you were telling her.

- Sorry.
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.

[whispers]
I'm sorry.

You don't know
how lucky you are.

- I checked social media,

hospital records,
financials, DMV... nada.

- Same story
with legal proceedings,

criminal records,
victim's database.

- Her cell phone number was
last active two years ago.

No phone in her name,
no active email accounts.

It's as if she doesn't want
to be found.

- The chance
to catch Denise is now,

before she gives up
on Karina and disappears.

- God, and you just want
to give her a hug.

- [sighs]

Denise has never
seen that photo.

She doesn't know
what her daughter looks like.

She probably
wouldn't recognize her

if she saw her face to face.

[tense music]

♪

Let's go.

[indistinct chatter]

Good morning, recruits.

I'm Special Agent LaCroix.
This is Special Agent Barnes.

Before we get started,

has anybody here ever tried out
for a high school drama club?

[confused murmuring]

- A surprising new development

in the hunt for fugitive
killer Denise Tyson.

A Baltimore teen who says
she's Tyson's daughter

has made an emotional appeal
for her mother's surrender.

Carlos Quintana reports.

- I'm here with 19-year-old
Karina Johnson

and her foster mother,
Ruth Driggs,

on Queensberry Avenue
in Northwest Baltimore.

Karina, when did
you realize that

wanted fugitive, Denise Tyson,
was your biological mother?

- When I saw her picture,
I was sure it was my mom.

- Your mom's been at large
for five days now.

Is there anything
you want to say to her?

- Mama,

it's me, Karina.

I think about you all the time.

And...

I love you, Mama.

I remember everything
about you so clear.

I even remember that spoon
that Grandma gave you

that you were saving for me.

Look, I don't know if you did
what they said,

just please, just turn
yourself in to the police.

I just want to see you again.

- Well said, Karina.

I hope this works out
for the best

for you and your mom.

And in yet another twist,

Karina's father has reached
out to his long lost daughter.

He and Karina
will be reunited tomorrow

to travel to his home
in Baltimore County,

where Karina will meet
her half-brother and sister.

From Queensbury Avenue
in Northwest Baltimore,

this is Carlos Quintana.

[sinister music]

- [chuckles] Yeah, I know.

- I really appreciate
that you did that for her.

[man continues indistinct]

[indistinct chatter]

[gun cocks]

- Get away from her.

- Bravo team, give me two...

- Karina, baby, it's me.

Don't go with him.

- Put the gun down, Denise.

- Don't come near me.

Baby, they won't shoot
if we're together.

Please just... just come over.

- It's over, Denise.
Put the gun down now.

- Please just do
what he says, Dee.

- Listen to me, baby.

This man who says
he's your father?

He's the reason
they took you away from me.

Tell her, Damon.

You... you left her alone
to go buy drugs.

I tried to get you back.
I tried to find you.

Now please just come.

Come over here
so I can... I can give you a hug.

I want to hold you.

Don't look at her.
She's not your real mother.

- Look at me, Denise.

Look at me.

Don't let your daughter
see you like this...

- Don't tell me
how to treat my own daughter.

- You don't want
to die in front of her.

We talked before.
You got a good heart.

I know that.
Just like your pastor said.

Now put the gun down.

For Karina.

- Mama?
Just do like they say.

Please.

- Where's your scar, baby?

On your arm from when you fell
off of the sliding board.

Huh?

Where is it?

I don't know who you are,
but you are not my daughter.

- No, no, it's me...
- Shut up!

- Denise, we're looking
for Karina.

We haven't found her yet,
but we will.

- Stop lying...
- I'll make sure they find her.

I'ma do something
about Kendall too.

- You got a raw deal, Denise.

Your children got a raw deal.

Don't make it worse for them.

Kendall and Karina,
they're far away.

That's true.

But they'll need you.

They'll need their mother.

We're going to find that girl.

the spark plug.

The gasoline won't fire
and the engine won't start

unless that tiny little gap
is just right.

- Cool.

Auntie Louise
called me yesterday.

- Lulu?
Really?

Wow. How about that?

- She said that she'd pick me
up after school tomorrow

and take me for coffee.

- [laughs]
That sounds very grown up.

- [giggles] And ice cream too.

And I told Mrs. Wilkie

that I'd apologize to Jaden
for pushing him.

- Well, that sounds like
the right thing to do.

How do you feel about it?

I know it's been really,
really hard without your mom.

But I want you to know that...

If you ever need me,
