In the criminal justice system,

sexually based offenses

are considered especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

All alone without her moose
who's E broke free

and S came loose.

Go ahead and eat your
broccoli, Jess, okay?

No, thanks.

I just need to explain.

Yeah, you always just need to explain.

- This is not like last time.
- No?

So instead of an escort's number,
you got a waitress's phone number.

No, a waitress's mother's number.

Please, Al.

They know that I'm
a cardiologist there.

She said that her mom is having
a stent put in in a few days

and asked if I would
call her to tell her

that it was routine.
Just for peace of mind.

That's it. Scout's honor.

So what's with the apology flowers?

Well, you didn't call
me back about going

to the Van Gogh exhibit,
so I thought I'd bring

Van Gogh to you.

I'm sorr... Al, really right
now is not the best time.

Cute place.

And is this Jesse?

Hello there, young lady.

Are we reading and eating broccoli?

Pro move. High five.

Yeah.

Where are we?

A cow has an idea? Huh?

I'll get some glue.

And I'll moo my best.

See?

Right, yeah. Spoiler alert.

This is the greatest book.

How about more broccoli?

Mmm.

Do you like cows?

Oh, very concerned.

At current climate predictions,

it's estimated that Lagos will
be completely underwater

as soon as 2050.
As per a recent study...

Need a car? Cash only.

Yeah, my daughter. She's sick.

Oh, my... No, no, no.

Do you know where
the nearest hospital is?

Mercy Hospital on 32nd street.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Just drive.

Now!

Teenage girl dumped from
a car at the drop-off zone.

Groggy and naked,
wrapped in a bed sheet.

There's a security
camera though, right?

I'll have the footage sent to you.

Had you run a rape kit?

She wouldn't let me.

But there were obvious signs
of sexual trauma,

bruising, and tearing.

She had a rough night.
At least she was here.

Even if she was tossed away
like a piece of trash.

Give us a moment with her?

Hi.

I'm Detective Carisi.
This is Lieutenant Benson.

Is it all right to talk right now?

Actually, you can call me Olivia.

What's your name?

Delilah.

Delilah. That's a pretty name.

It suits you.

So, Delilah, do you have any idea
how you got to the hospital?

I don't really remember.

Did... did you take something?

Some pills.

Do you remember who
gave you those pills?

Uncle Luke.

He's not really my uncle.

- He'she's more like a friend.
- Yeah.

So, Delilah, did...

did Uncle Luke make
you have sex with him?

Did he hurt you?

He wouldn't hurt me.

He sent me on a date
with one of his friends.

Okay, you happen
to know the friend's names

or... or where they live?

Uncle Luke never makes me
go back if I don't want to.

He loves me.

Please, please don't take him away.

So Uncle Luke is all she gave you..

Yeah, this girl was groomed
to keep her mouth shut.

That name didn't pop on the registry.

Anything on the John
that assaulted her?

She was fuzzy, you know?

I think Luke gave her
some kind of tranquilizer.

Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot. I got it.

Okay, so the hospital sent
their camera footage over.

This is the entrance to the hospital.

Car pulls up.

And the door opens.

Yeah, we got a driver,
guy in the backseat.

No clear shot of the faces.

I can't make out the numbers,
but that's the T-plate.

That could be an Uber.
Or a car service.

Okay, get it to TARU
to enhance the image.

We find the driver, we find the perp.

Chinua Iwobi?

- Yeah?
- Police.

Welcome to America 2018.

I don't want any problem.

Yeah, well, it's a little late for that

after what happened to that
girl in your car last night.

Huh?

You know, the one you dumped
off at the hospital?

I didn't know that man was
crazy when I picked him up.

You didn't think it was weird
he had a naked girl wrapped up

- in a sheet?
- He said it was his daughter.

He was taking her to the hospital.

Why didn't you call police?

I wanted to, man. I really did.

But...

You're illegal.

I'm here for ten years now.

I have a wife and kids.
Please don't send me back.

Oh, we don't deal with any of that.

Last week I got robbed
with a gun to my head.

$600.

And I was too scared to report it.

Listen, man.

If that happens to you again, call me.

Right now we're only
concerned with your fare

in that car last night.

Okay, what did he look like?

White, in his 40s. Gray hair.

Okay.

And, uh, where'd you pick him up?

A building on 25th near the High Line
next to a pizza place.

Okay, thank you. You did good.

Take care of your family.

- Who you calling?
- Carisi.

- He can help me pick up this lead.
- Are you kidding?

This guy's violent.
You know that, right?

Yeah, and I can run same as you, Fin.
Pregnant or not.

And what if something happens?

Then it's not your problem.
Stop treating me like a ride-along.

Can I call Carisi
to have him meet us there?

Fine.

First and second floors are a bust.

Yeah, nothing on three, either.

All right, Carisi, you take four.

With you.

I'm gonna take the fifth.
I'm sure I'll manage.

Police. Anybody in there?

Everything all right?

Yeah, everything's fine, ma'am.
Uh, we're detectives.

We're looking for a man
in your building.

He's white. He's got gray hair.
He's somewhere in his 40s.

Oh, that sounds like the guest in 4B.

- Over there.
- Guest?

My neighbor, Christina. Lovely girl.

She's traveling in France.

She AirBNBs her apartment.

Do you know if that
guest is still here?

Oh, yes. His name is Vince.

Thank you, ma'am.

Hey.
Nobody's home on five.

4B could be our guy.

Vince?

- Yeah?
- We're the police.

We wanna ask you some questions.

Um, I was just leaving.

This won't take long.
Mind if we come in?

Where you going?

I'm here from Cincinnati
for the auto show.

I'm in mufflers and exhaust.

Auto show was over two days ago.

Right, yeah.
I'm on my way to LaGuardia.

Where were you last night?

Here. Excuse me.

Can you tell me what
the hell's going on?

I dunno, Vince, but this doesn't look

like your size to me.

It must belong to the lady
I rented the place from.

She forget to give you sheets, too?

You know what?

I'm gonna send this to, uh,
the car service driver.

You know what?

I did take a car
to the movies last night.

Yeah? What'd you see?

Uh, that new Tom Cruise movie.

Tom Cruise? That's all you got, Vince?

Put your hands behind your back.

Wait.

Is seeing a movie a crime
in New York now?

No. But rape is.

Let's go.

Oops.

Do I need a lawyer?

That's up to you, Vince.

Who's Karen?

My wife.

Look, I really need to take that.

Yeah, she's called a couple
of times already.

What were you doing with
a 14-year-old girl?

What are you talking about?

You know, you need
to be smart about this.

We have you on videotape.

We have a witness.

Deliliah's on her way down
here to ID you right now.

You got kids as well, Vince?

Two, boys.

If you ever wanna see your kids again,

you're gonna tell us who
sold that girl to you.

- What... sold?
- Yeah.

Then we might let you take
the next call your wife makes.

That's your kid?

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know she was on something.

When she started zoning out,
I tried to help her.

I took her to the hospital.

That was the right thing to do,
wasn't it?

You heard that, Sarge, right?

Yeah.

So you are the person who
brought her to the hospital?

Yeah.

Okay, you're free to go.

What, really?

No, asshole. Sit down.

You don't get brownie points
after raping a kid.

Now where did the girl come from?

Huh?

No?

Okay, I'm just gonna call Billy back.

Let him know where his father is.

No, wait, wait.

When I was in town last
year for the auto show,

I got a number off a back page
before they shut down.

Luke.

Okay.

So you're gonna call this Luke
and you're gonna tell him

that you're hanging onto
Delilah for an extra day.

And you have a friend
that's interested.

Then we'll let you talk to your wife.

Let me ask you something, Lieu.

What's... what... what's
going on with Rollins?

If you have a question about Rollins,

why don't you try asking her?

She's pregnant.

Isn't she? Really, Carisi?

- Are you telling me she's not pregnant?
- Really?

- You Thompson?
- Yeah.

You got all of it?

This is for me.
This is extra for Vince.

Come on up.

You're gonna like what you see.

Sweethearts. Come on, get up.

Meet a new friend of mine.

Okay. This the merchandise?

Uh, yeah, except for Delilah.

She's with your friend,
Vince, the lucky dog.

What about that one right there?

Oh, yeah.

She's not on the menu just yet.

Come on, I got some
more over this way.

Come on. Girls, girls, come here.

- Let's go.
- Come here.

Come on.

Got a friend I want you to meet.

Come on.

So I can pick one and do whatever?

Within reason.

But you mess up my investment,
that would not be cool.

You look like a guy with
impeccable taste.

Have you made a decision?

I have.

You're under arrest.

Stop! Police!

Liv, there's a little one over here.

Carisi!

- You got him?
- Yeah.

Don't worry. I'm the police.

Hey, sweetie. You're okay.

- You're okay.
- Por favor.

You're okay.

No me lastimes.

No, no, no. Estoy con la policia.

No me lleves. Don't take me.

So why did you run away
from your parents?

Duh. They freaking hate me.

And how long ago did
you meet up with Luke?

Did he approach you?

So at the bus station, Luke
said he'd take care of you?

Mmhmm. Yeah.

He brought me McDonald's and
these really sick kicks, so...

- Hey.
- Hey.

- They're so young.
- Yeah.

And two of them escaped violent homes.

Uh, another one was living with
her demented grandmother

and ran out of food.

We're trying to get the details
on the rest of the kids.

You know, we're just trying
to keep them comfortable

until we can place them somewhere.

Where'd your perp find them?

Uh, on the street. In a park.

One was actually plucked
from a playground.

He has a talent for spotting,
uh, vulnerability.

Why do they stay with him?

They think they're
contributing to the household.

He has them utterly manipulated.

- Except for one.
- Are you thirsty?

She's afraid of the guy
that we collared.

And even more afraid of us.

Can we start with your name?

You need to meet uncle Luke.

Mr. Frances, I'm ADA Stone.

Ah, brought in the big guns
with some big guns.

Is he gonna smack me around?

No, but I might, after
what you did to those girls.

Give them a home? Give them food?

I take in homeless, abused children.

What the jury will hear is you on tape

selling children for sex.

I was selling their company.

They're at an age where I can't
control their every move.

Who do you think you're talking to here?

I love those girls.

And they love me.

They could have gotten up and
left any time they wanted to.

- And did they?
- You brainwashed them.

I saved them.

That youngest one,
she's completely traumatized.

Oh, yeah, my little...
my little Gabriela.

- Where'd you find her?
- I rescued her.

Wandering around Port Authority
like she was on another planet.

She could have done far
worse than Uncle Luke.

Trust me.

You are one twisted son
of a bitch, you know that?

I'm gonna make it my personal
mission that you never lay your

hands on another girl.

Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
I want a lawyer now.

Knock yourself out.
'Cause it's not gonna matter.

Hey.

So your name's Gabriela, huh?

What's your last name?

- Sosa.
- Sosa.

You know some English.

Right? Who taught you? Your parents?

You took a bus to New York?
To the Port Authority?

- Yes.
- Yeah?

Where did you take the bus from?

I don't like to go back.

Okay.

Is your family bad to you?

- No.
- You can tell me.

You know I'm here to help you.

Now, can you tell me where you live?

I want my mommy.

Okay.

Okay, we can talk about it later.

I couldn't get a whole lot out of her.

I mean, she's exhausted.
She's distressed.

And maybe I can try a little later
when she trusts me some more.

Okay.

Uh, where are we on the two
girls that were abused?

We reached out to ACS
in their local precincts.

- They'll follow up on the allegations.
- The other three?

On the way back to their families.

Hopefully this will be
a wake up call for them.

So we have one more to go.

Let's put Gabriela through NCMEC.

It's Gabriela Sosa.

All right, I got a name match.

It's a, uh, missing persons alert
from Elizabeth, New Jersey.

That's a bus ride away.

Her parents reported her missing?

No, it's the New Jersey Department
of Children and Families.

She was in foster care.

Did I tell you about my cousin Nikki?

She's having another kid.
You believe that?

- Is that three?
- Five.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Hey...

Rollins, why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

All right.

Son... Sonny, it was... hey, I tried to.

I... I just... I didn't know how.

Don't... don't start asking
me questions right now.

And... and don't go all
Catholic on me, okay?

You're the detectives from New York?

Yeah, Rollins, Carisi.

We've been waiting for weeks
for some news about Gabriela.

Well, we need you
to ID a photo for us.

It's her.

They found her.
Thank God.

Wh... how in the world did
she get to New York City?

You tell us.

Your one job is to keep the
child you're fostering safe.

Please don't be angry with us.

We did the best we could
to make her comfortable here,

but after all she's been through...

She's very distrustful
of Americans in general.

What do you mean?

Well, you've... you've seen the news.

You know what's been going on.

She was brought to us after
she came across the border,

after our government separated
her from her mother.

Gabriela and her mother
Maria were picked up

near the border in June.
Maria was arrested for unlawful entry.

Gabriela told us the agent grabbed
her right out of her mother's arms.

That's insane.

Have a seat, please.

Uh, from what we understand,
Gabriela was brought to some

detention facility for kids in Texas.

So how did she get to you in Jersey?

We registered as a temporary
foster family when we read

about the situation at the border.

We felt we could at least provide

a loving and nurturing home.

It's better than being locked
up in some vacant megastore

or an Army base in the desert.

I truly admire you for taking this on.

I know that it couldn't have been easy.

Gabriela wouldn't even look
at us the first few days.

All she did was sit on the
floor and cry for her mom.

But, uh, we, uh... we
finally got her to eat

and play a little with our boys.

Did the foster agency provide
you with a contact for Maria?

We tried.

There was, uh, an 800 number
where you're supposed to be

able to arrange a call.

At first they couldn't locate her.

And then it was always busy.

A few days later my son told us
that Gabriela had asked him

how to get to Texas.

He said you take
a plane from New York.

He didn't think she would
actually try to do it.

What's your favorite kind
of ice cream, Gabriela?

Vanilla.

My favorite is salted
caramel chocolate chip.

Okay, they got that
at your local bodega?

They special order it for me.

Mmm.

Gabriela, why'd you run away?

Were the Wellbecks nice people?

Yes. Very nice.

But I miss my mommy.

It make me sad.

You know your mother's
very far away, right?

Yes.

Why la migra take her, Miss Amanda?

Because when your mother
crossed the border,

she broke the laws of our country.

But what did I do?

You didn't do anything wrong, sweetie.

So, what? What's gonna happen to her?

We can't send her back
to the Wellbecks.

- We're sure about that?
- She'd just run away again.

Look, guys, we have
an obligation to notify

the Office of Refugee
Resettlement and let them know

that we have her here.

They'll send her to one
of their tender age centers.

I'll take her.

Rollins, you can't take her.

You took Noah.

I did.

And this is very different.

Not much.

Could you remember... you
remember Esther,

the last girl we let walk out of here?

Rollins, you can't take her.

Tracked down Maria Sosa's
immigration lawyer.

She's at La Tuna Federal
Detention Center now.

He's on his way there right now
and he said he's pretty sure

he can set up a video call with Maria.

We go through Guatemala
because my neighbor was killed

by La Mara.

He saw them kill a man.

So they drag him into
the street and shoot him.

I get money from my family
and take Gabriela

with the coyote to Mexico.

But he leave us at the border.

Entonces, we have to cross alone.

And I was arrested by La Migra.

They put me in the jail and a
man come and he take Gabriela.

She was holding me and crying,
and he just pulled her away.

I can't get the sound
of my baby calling for me

out of my head.

Maria was arrested for illegal entry.

I'm filing an asylum
petition on her behalf.

But the way things are going,
it could be months

if not years before
everything's adjudicated.

Until then, she's incarcerated here.

Come.

Gabriela, this way.

Please, please.

- Mami, soy yo.
- Mi ni�a.

Mi bebe.

Si, Mami.

- Okay, time to shut it down.
- Can we get two more minutes?

No, turn the camera away, ma'am,

and terminate the call immediately.

Adios, mi ni�a.

Mami, no.

No, Mami.

It's okay. It's okay.

So now this... this poor kid is...
is sleeping on a cot

in our overnight room in the squad

while one of our detectives,
Carisi, babysits her.

I mean, the feds are picking
her up tomorrow.

That's rough. What, she's... what, ten?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

I... I don't know how
you guys do what you do.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

Sometimes it doesn't feel that way.

No, that's that kind of empathy.

It's special.

Well, you weren't so bad
yourself with, uh,

Jesse the other night.

I love kids.

I almost did my residency in pediatrics,

- but, uh...
- Oh, really?

Honestly I was, uh, 200k deep
in student loan debt

and I was damn good in the OR,
so I went for the money.

Hmm.

Ah.

I remember you once liked Chablis.

Domaine Francois Marchand,
2015, Grand Cru.

Thanks.

Lovely.

- Keep it chilled for you.
- Thank you.

To second chances?

Or third, if we're keeping score.

What?

Al, I'm pregnant.

Fourth of July,
the one night we, um...

Wow.

Well, you know, whatever you decide.

I could... you know, I could go
with you to the procedure

and take care of all that if
that's what you wanted to do.

How'd the babysitting go?

Eh, played 19 games
of checkers and I, uh...

I learned to read "Green Eggs
and Ham" in Spanish.

No me gusto los huevos verde.

Ni el jam�n, my friend.

Rollins is on kid duty right now.

I'm looking for Lieutenant Benson.

Who are you?

Jeff Phelps, Office
of Refugee Resettlement.

I'm here to pick up Gabriela Sosa.

Liv. This is Mr. Phelps.

He's a refugee officer from ORR.

Lieutenant Benson.

I'm... I take it you
have some paperwork.

Fin.

So where you taking her?

She'll be housed at Fort Stirling.

Oh, so she'll be at an Army
base behind razor wire.

No, Lieutenant.

She'll be in a dorm-like
setting with other minors.

It's almost like summer camp.

Summer camp.

Except she doesn't go
home to her family.

I don't make the rules, Lieutenant.

Gabriela, um, this is Officer Phelps.

And I'm so sorry,
but he... he has to take you...

- No.
- It's going to be okay, dear.

Please, please. Don't take me again.

What... why don't we... wait, what?

What do you mean by, "Again?"

He was the man who take
me away from my mother.

Is that true?

I was at the border when
Maria Sosa was processed.

I took custody of Gabriela
and escorted her

and several other children to the
foster agency here in the city.

So you're the one that
separated her from her mother?

That was the policy, detective.

I'm sure you're aware of that.

Okay.

Fin, Carisi, arrest Officer Phelps.

Liv?

And place him in a holding cell.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

You're being charged with kidnapping
in the second degree.

For doing my job?

You abducted a minor
and transported her

against her will to New York City.

That's a class B felony in this state.

You're gonna be sorry
about this, Lieutenant.

Very sorry.

Give him his phone call
and a bologna sandwich.

NYPD Special Victims Unit
has arrested an agent

in the Office of Refugee
Resettlement for the kidnapping

of a nine-year-old girl named
Gabriela Sosa who's being

evaluated now by Children Services.

Where did this kidnapping
occur, Lieutenant?

Officer Phelps initiated
the abduction in Texas

and the minor was transported
here into Manhattan.

How do you expect the federal
government to react to this?

That's not my concern.

A serious felony was committed here.

Does this really affect
the safety of the everyday

New Yorker, Lieutenant?

Well, as a result of this abduction,

uh, Gabriela Sosa... a
nine-year-old child...

found herself in the arms
of a child sex trafficker.

How is Gabriela doing?

She's doing as well as
can be expected.

But she was deeply traumatized,
like many of the children.

So I have no doubt that...

That there will be long-term,
uh, serious emotional

and psychological
consequences for her.

Thank you so much.
That's all for now.

Lieutenant, lieutenant!

- You arrested a federal agent?
- That's right.

Who was just doing his job.

And I was just doing my job.

And what's your next move now, Olivia?

Do you actually think
this is gonna stick?

Come on, Peter. I'm not that naive.

Well then what are you doing?

I have every media outlet in the city
putting this story out there.

I was doing it to make a point.

I don't prosecute cases
to make points.

Well then I will
find someone who will.

Weren't you the one that told
me that the only wars

worth fighting for
are the ones you can't win?

I'm Kim Caldwell,
U.S. Department of Justice.

This is a federal writ
of habeas corpus

demanding the release of ORR
officer Jeff Phelps.

See you in court at 4:00 p.m.,
Lieutenant.

Are you in?

Let me show you what
you're fighting for.

- Hello, Gabriela.
- Hi, Miss Olivia.

Honey, this is my friend Peter.

Hi, Mr. Peter.

I make a picture of my
house in Guatemala.

It's beautiful.

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

There are 3,000 more Gabrielas.

If you have to walk away from this,

I understand, but...

I can't.

Kidnapping is defined
as forcibly depriving

a person of her freedom by
holding her against her will.

It is beyond dispute
the Refugee Officer Phelps

did precisely that to Gabriela Sosa.

As the government does
to millions of prisoners

- every day.
- Gabriela was not a prisoner.

She's a nine-year-old child
who did nothing wrong.

Except enter this country
illegally with her mother.

Do you concede that fact,
Mr. Stone?

For the purpose of this
argument, I would.

But that doesn't give
the government the right

to forcibly separate
her from her parents.

Flores v. Reno says we
can't keep them together.

No, it says we can't
incarcerate them together.

And the state of New York
criminalizes transporting

that child here against her will.

These acts were done under
the color of federal law.

Not law, Your Honor.

But a DOJ policy directive
known as Zero Tolerance.

Either way, it's clear the petitioner
was acting in good faith.

That doesn't relieve him
of his criminal liability

for the ongoing abduction
of this girl here in New York.

I would remind Mr. Stone
of the supremacy clause

- in article six of the Constitution.
- Oh, my God.

Simply stated, Your Honor,
federal law trumps state law.

Okay, Your Honor,
what are we doing here?

We're talking about
a nine-year-old child.

You are out of order,
Lieutenant Benson.

The government ripped this little girl

out of her mother's arms.

Somebody somewhere needs to stop this.

Liv, Liv.

- Your Honor.
- Thank you.

It's all right. It's all right.

Why don't you, uh, have a seat
while I order us some pizza for dinner?

Do you have a baby?

Yeah, her name is Jesse.
She's three years old.

A baby in there?

Yeah, I do.

Can I feel?

Well, um, yeah, okay.

Do you want the baby
to be a girl or a boy?

I'm not sure.

When I see my mother,
I tell her that I want

to have a little brother.

I have been asked to rule
on the legality of the arrest

of a federal officer
by state law enforcement,

not to hold forth on
the wisdom of our country's

immigration policy.

And while the separation
of Gabriela Sosa and her mother

is disturbing and ill advised,
it's tangential to the issue

raised by this writ.

I hold that federal immigration
policy overrides any claim

by the state that a kidnapping
has been committed.

The detention of Officer Phelps
is therefore illegal.

He should be released
from custody forthwith.

At least we tried.

Yeah, we lost a battle. Maybe...

Maybe we'll win the war.

Pretty good, huh?

Muy bueno.

Will I be sleeping here tonight?

I really don't know, Gabriela.

No. No!

- No.
- Gabriela...

- I want to stay here.
- I know.

I know, sweetie, but I'm...

I'm afraid that you have
to go with Officer Phelps.

I don't want to.

I know.

We don't have a choice, honey.

Please, Miss Olivia.

Gabriela, listen to me. Listen to me.

Now's the time when
you need to be strong.

Right? Fuerte.

You're going to see your mother again.

When?

I don't know the answer
to that right now.

I wish I did.

But we are gonna do everything
that we can to help you.

Everything.
Do you understand that?

Si.

- Okay.
- Just don't forget me.

Oh, we won't.

It's time.

Okay, just remember, Gabriela.

Fuerte. Fuerte.

Fuerte, honey.

So, uh, how's Special Victims
working out?

It's, uh, not what I expected.

You should, uh... you should
meet this Lieutenant.

Ah, I always had you figured
for a lifer in homicide.

A lifer? Yeah, maybe.

You enjoying the big city?

You know me. All work and no play.

So, let's cut to the chase.

You didn't come all this way
for a catch up.

Yeah, you're right.

I need your help.

Cops I'm working with,
they liberated an undocumented

nine-year-old from
a sex trafficker.

We're trying to reunite
her with her mother.

Mother's here in Chicago?

Texas.

In federal detention for illegal entry.

It's out of my jurisdiction,
don't you think?

Come on, Mark.

You have more connections
inside the Beltway

than Potomac Edison.

This immigration stuff
is getting tricky these days

to say the least.

We're not making policy here.

It's one child, one parent.

And you really think this
is gonna make a difference?

You know, when I was a kid,
my grandfather had a cottage

in the Dunes in Rhode Island.

We would get up early and we'd
walk the beaches together.

One morning there was thousands
of sea turtle hatchlings

crawling towards the surf.

And we could see that
the tide was going out,

and most of them weren't
going to make it.

And I said, "Grandpa, these
baby turtles are going to die."

And he picked up a hatchling
and he walked it to the water.

"This one won't.

"And this one won't.

And this one won't."

This mother's grounds
for asylum, they're solid?

50/50.

I'll see what I can do.

No promises.

Hey, anybody wanna get a beer?

Oh, man.

I promised Ken and Alejandro
I'd babysit tonight.

- What about you? Non-alcoholic?
- What's the point?

Besides, after this Gabriela thing,

I'd need something a lot
stiffer than a beer.

That's why anybody wants
to come to this country

to work for the American Dream,
they should be allowed

- to do that.
- Really?

I mean, political asylum, that's okay.

But just because Maria's
neighbor got shot by a gang?

That doesn't qualify.

I don't know, Fin.

What that woman had to go
through to get to the border,

she must have been terrorized.

And who takes care of them
once they get here?

I mean, separating kids from
their parents, that's barbaric.

But there's still a problem.

I think immigrants can
take care of themselves.

My great grandfather came
to this country from Torino

when he was 12 years old.

And I bet you he didn't
have public housing,

food stamps, and Medicaid.

Most of these people, they get jobs.

And they're jobs that
Americans don't want.

"Give us your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses

yearning to breathe free."

Yeah, and that's a great poem,

but it's all garbage.

My people came here
300 years ago in chains,

and I still can't breathe free.

- Amanda.
- Yeah.

Um, your office told me
where to find you.

Well, they're not supposed to, but...

- I pulled rank.
- Oh.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I don't... I don't
wanna make a big thing.

Um...

I'm having this baby.

I don't need anything from you.

Hi, we're here to see Gabriela Sosa.

Is she stationed here, ma'am?

She's one of the children
who's being detained here.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Those types of visits
are not authorized.

Get your CO down here right now.

I'm sorry, sir.
I'm not authorized to do that.

Listen, son.

I didn't hunt through
the mountains of Quang Tri

for three years to have a babyfaced MP

tell me what's authorized.
Am I clear?

Uh Soldier!

Yes, sir.

That was fun.

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Gabriela Sosa?

Step forward.

You have the release orders?

Mi ni�a.

- Mi amor.
- Mami.

Mami.

Mami.

Oh!

Here you go. Thank you.

How in the world did you
and Stone pull this off?

The supervising judge in the
5th circuit grew up in Chicago.

We trained at the same gym.

Peter threw together the asylum petition
and Judge Connors pushed it through.

Thank you.

Welcome to America.

This way, please.
