[STARTS ENGINE]

[♪]

THEY’RE HEADING FOR THE 101.

CATCH THEM IN THE ACT THIS TIME.

I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING THAT.

HE MEANS WELL.

I COUNTED 15 GIRLS.

[GROANING IN PAIN]

SHE NEEDS HELP!

[GASPING]

GIVE HER SOME WATER.

[GASPING IN PAIN]

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

THEY WANT MY BABY.

THEY’RE HEADING FOR THE CITY.

SHE NEEDS A DOCTOR! STOP THE TRUCK!

SHUT UP.

SUN’S COMING UP.

[AIR BRAKES HISS]

STAND BY.

[KNOCKS FIRMLY]

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO...

DAMMIT.

CALL DISPATCH. WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?

[SIREN CHIRPS]

FREEZE! OR I’LL SHOOT!

HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS!

STAND DOWN!

FINAL WARNING!

[SHOTS BLAST]

STOP!

[SIREN APPROACHES]

WE GOT THIS. CHECK THE INSIDE!

[SIREN APPROACHES]

IF RAFAEL OCHOA WAS IN THERE,

HE’S LONG GONE.

DAMMIT.

LET ME SEE SOME HANDS! MANOS. MANOS!

OKAY. OKAY.

IT’S OKAY, WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU, OKAY?

[POLICE RADIOS CRACKLE]

[BREATHLESSLY] WHAT ABOUT...?

OH, GREAT.

GRAND SLAM.

IS SHE ONE OF YOU?

IS SHE?

WHO’S GOING TO TALK TO ME?

[SIGHS]

[WOMAN SCREAMS IN AGONY]

WE NEED AN AMBULANCE HERE!

WE’RE GOING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU, OKAY?

[BABY CRIES]

[MUFFLED CRIES]

[INFANTS WAILING]

OH, MY GOD...

[BABIES CRYING]

EVA’S NOT TALKING UNTIL SHE SEES A LAWYER.

IF RAFAEL OCHOA WAS THERE, THE SFPD SPOOKED HIM.

"IF" HE WAS THERE?

CAN WE EVER GET THE RIGHT INTEL ON THIS GUY?

THOSE BABIES ON THE TRUCK, SIX PLUS THE ONE THAT DIED.

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN FOR SALE.

TRAFFICKING IN BABIES...

WE CAN RUN WITH THIS.

BABIES DON’T MAKE VERY GOOD WITNESSES.

BUT THEY’RE BIG MONEY,

AND YOU ALWAYS SAY "FOLLOW THE MONEY."

WE DON’T HAVE THE MANPOWER.

STICK TO SEX TRAFFICKING,

AND FIND ME A WITNESS WHO CAN NAIL OCHOA.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A NEWBORN SELLS FOR?

$20,000. THAT’S AT THE LOW END.

BLOND AND BLUE-EYED, WE’RE TALKING 80,000 MINIMUM.

HOLMES IS RIGHT, THOUGH.

YOU CAN’T PUT A BABY ON THE STAND.

YOUR SUSPECT, EVA RIVERA?

LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD.

RECENTLY HAD A LITTLE DOWN TIME

AT A FIVE-STAR RESORT IN PUERTO VALLARTA.

FOUND IT HIDDEN INSIDE THE TRUCK.

LAST CALL SHE MADE WAS TO AN UNTRACEABLE NUMBER.

A DISPOSABLE PHONE.

WHAT ABOUT CALLS BEFORE SHE LEFT THE WAREHOUSE?

JUST ONE, TO A CARLA HUXLEY.

SHE RUNS ROAD TO LOVE, AN ADOPTION AGENCY.

FORGET ABOUT IT, NIC.

YOU WANT TO ASK HIM AGAIN?

HE’S NOT SEEING THE BIG PICTURE.

YEAH, YOU MAKE SURE YOU MENTION THAT.

KYLE, COME ON, HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN

BANGING OUR HEADS AGAINST A WALL?

OCHOA’S A MASTER AT STAYING UNDER THE RADAR.

WE DON’T EVEN HAVE A RECENT PHOTO.

THIS IS A LEAD.

AND WHEN I FINALLY MET MY BABY,

I WAS TERRIFIED. I WAS WORRIED OUT OF MY MIND

THAT I WOULDN’T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT HER,

OR EVEN WORSE, I WOULD FEEL NOTHING AT ALL.

BUT THEN THE MOMENT CAME,

AND THEY PUT HER IN MY ARMS,

AND SHE OPENED HER TINY LITTLE EYES,

AND SHE LOOKED UP AT ME

WITH THIS LOOK

THAT WAS JUST COMPLETE TRUST.

I KNEW MY LIFE WAS CHANGED FOREVER.

AND I WAS RIGHT.

FOR EVERY DAY SINCE THEN

HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THE PRESENCE OF MY DAUGHTER,

ALYSSA.

COME UP HERE, DARLING.

[APPLAUSE]

THIS IS THAT LITTLE BABY GIRL,

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

[LAUGHS]

AND ALYSSA IS THE REASON THAT WE’RE ALL HERE TONIGHT,

BECAUSE ROAD TO LOVE BEGAN AT THE VERY MOMENT,

14 YEARS AGO,

WHEN OUR EYES CONNECTED.

SHE IS THE INSPIRATION

OF MY LIFE’S WORK.

I JUST WANT TO SAY

THAT I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE

IF MY MOM HADN’T RESCUED ME.

SHE IS AWESOME.

[LAUGHS AND KISSES HER]

CARLA IS AMAZING, ALL THE GOOD WORK SHE DOES

IN SO MANY COUNTRIES.

SHE HAS A BABY GIRL FOR ME IN INDIA.

BEAUTIFUL, ISN’T IT?

YEAH, I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER SEEN ONE BEFORE.

BLUE ORCHIDS REPRESENT STRENGTH AND HOPE.

THEY’RE VERY RARE.

I DON’T THINK WE’VE MET.

I’M NICOLE.

CARLA.

SO, ARE YOU CHECKING US OUT?

I GUESS I AM.

BY YOURSELF?

YES, I’M SINGLE. IS THAT A PROBLEM?

NO, NO, NOT AT ALL.

MANY SINGLE WOMEN ARE ADOPTING THESE DAYS.

I KNOW THERE’S A LOT OF OTHER AGENCIES

THAT WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT,

BUT WE JUST WANT WHAT’S BEST FOR THE CHILD.

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO?

UH, I’M A LAWYER.

EXCELLENT. THAT WILL DEFINITELY EXPEDITE THE PAPERWORK.

[CHUCKLING]

OKAY. THANK YOU.

-COULD YOU EXCUSE ME? -OF COURSE.

THANK YOU. OH, AND JUST SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT,

AND WE’LL TALK MORE.

-OKAY. -OKAY.

9:22 ON TUESDAY?

YEAH.

OKAY, HERE IT IS.

IT WAS A COLD CALL.

AND I WAS ON FOR... 15 SECONDS.

I DIDN’T KNOW WHO THE WOMAN WAS,

BUT AS SOON AS SHE SAID

THAT SHE HAD BABIES FOR ADOPTION,

I SAID "NO, THANK YOU" AND "GOOD NIGHT."

ARE YOU INVESTIGATING CHILD TRAFFICKING?

NO, IT’S JUST PRELIMINARY.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK MOST ADOPTION AGENCIES

GET THESE CALLS FROM TIME TO TIME,

BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY,

IF IT DOESN’T SOUND RIGHT, I JUST HANG UP.

I MEAN, I THINK...

THAT THE BUYING AND SELLING OF BABIES IS JUST...

I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY WORSE CRIME.

SHE SAYS IT WAS A COLD CALL.

BUT WHY WOULD OCHOA SEND BABIES OFF TO SAN FRANCISCO

WITHOUT HAVING PRE-SOLD THEM?

[SCOFFS] YOU BUY THAT?

NO.

BUT I’M SURE EVA WILL BACK HER UP.

YOU OKAY?

I JUST KEPT THINKING ABOUT THOSE SIX BABIES

IN PLASTIC CRATES.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

SAKERIS.

YEAH.

EVA RIVERA’S JUST BEEN GRANTED BAIL.

OH, I HAVE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL.

NOW?

YEAH. JENNY?

JENNY!

CAN YOU TAKE HER OUT

AND GET HER SOMETHING TO EAT?

A SALAD.

THANKS A LOT.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

JENNY, NO DESSERTS!

IT’S CARLA.

CARLITA,

WELCOME TO MY HUMBLE HOME.

THIS REALLY BELONGS TO YOU?

FOR TODAY.

I HAVE SOME PEOPLE COMING BY LATER

I NEED TO IMPRESS.

WE NEED TO TALK.

YES, YOU ARE ANGRY, I UNDERSTAND.

IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION.

I WAS QUESTIONED BY HSI.

EVA DECIDED TO CALL MY OFFICE CELL PHONE.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

IF EVEN A HINT OF THIS GETS OUT,

YOU DO REALIZE IT WILL RUIN ME, RIGHT?

OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND.

REMEMBER WHO IT WAS

WHO GOT YOU STARTED IN THIS BUSINESS, CARLA,

WHEN YOU HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN.

WHO FOUND YOUR BABIES FOR YOU?

FROM MEXICO. BROUGHT THEM TO YOU

AT A BIG PERSONAL RISK TO HIMSELF.

THAT WAS IN OUR PAST,

I’M MOSTLY IN INDIA NOW.

NOT SO MUCH IN MEXICO.

A PEACE OFFERING.

I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LIKE THEM.

WE ARE STILL PARTNERS, CARLA.

WE MAKE MONEY TOGETHER...

AND I HAVE A NEW SYSTEM

THAT I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY VERY MUCH.

[WHISPERS] DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME AGAIN.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

VIKRAM HERE.

IT’S CARLA.

I NEED ANOTHER SIX NEWBORNS.

MY MY...

THAT IS MUCH MORE THAN YOU INDICATED, MY DEAR.

I’M GOING TO HAVE TO CHARGE YOU A PREMIUM.

OF COURSE YOU WILL. AND I NEED THEM RIGHT AWAY.

[HORNS HONKING]

JAVED!

WELL?

I WILL HAVE THEM. DON’T WORRY.

YO, EVA’S ON THE MOVE.

-WHO’S ON HER? -REESE.

OKAY, WE GOT A LOCATION IN SEA CLIFF.

OWNER’S AWAY,

HOUSE IS REGISTERED AS A RENTAL.

THERE’S NO TAKERS FOR THREE MONTHS,

SO TECHNICALLY IT’S UNOCCUPIED.

NICE NEIGHBORHOOD.

HE KNEW.

OUT. NOW.

EVERYONE OUT! NOW!

WAIT. REESE!

-EVERYONE OUT? -WHERE’S KYLE?

[EXPLOSION BLASTS]

KYLE?

KYLE!

KYLE...

OH... OH, GOD...

REESE, HE’S NOT BREATHING!

[DISTANT SIRENS WAIL]

OH, GOD... OH, GOD... I THINK HE’S GONE.

I THINK HE’S GONE.

THE ORCHID?

YEAH.

VERY RARE.

AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING A BREAK, NIC?

THIS IS ME TAKING A BREAK.

OCHOA WAS WAY AHEAD OF US.

THE ONLY THING TYING CARLA HUXLEY TO OCHOA

IS ONE COLD CALL FROM EVA RIVERA

AND A COMMON INTEREST IN RARE FLOWERS.

-HE BOUGHT IT FOR HER. -YOU DON’T KNOW THAT, NIC.

LAST YEAR ROAD TO LOVE ARRANGED 43 ADOPTIONS IN INDIA,

33 IN BRAZIL, AND 18 IN MEXICO.

ALL THE IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS ARE CLEAN, OF COURSE,

BACKED UP BY ALMOST IDENTICAL DOCUMENTS

IN THE COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN,

WHICH IS IN ITSELF SUSPICIOUS.

AND YOU THINK THAT’S ENOUGH TO GO AFTER HUXLEY?

SMUGGLING AND SEX TRAFFICKING HAVEN’T GOTTEN US OCHOA.

MAYBE BABY TRAFFICKING WILL.

LOOK, I’VE BEEN TO A ROAD TO LOVE MEETING

UNDERCOVER.

I’M A KNOWN QUANTITY THERE, A LADY LOOKING TO ADOPT.

CARLA HUXLEY IS EXPECTING ME TO COME BACK.

THIS IS THE PERFECT SETUP.

I MEAN, WHO KNOWS WHERE IT WILL TAKE ME?

MAYBE ALL THE WAY TO OCHOA.

OKAY.

YOU OBSERVE,

GATHER EVIDENCE, THAT’S IT.

OF COURSE.

HE THOUGHT HE COULD GO THROUGH WITH IT,

BUT NOW HE’S SAYING THAT HE CAN’T.

YOU KNOW, MEN BOND IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

SOME OF THEM NEED TO SEE THEMSELVES

WITHIN THE CHILD.

HE’S NOT RACIST.

THAT’S NOT WHY HE DOESN’T WANT A BABY FROM INDIA.

OF COURSE NOT. I UNDERSTAND.

I’VE BEEN AT THIS A LONG TIME.

I KNOW WHAT HE NEEDS.

OUI, CARLA...

YOU ONLY CALL WHEN YOU NEED ME, HUH?

AND I NEED YOU NOW, DARLING.

SOMETHING SPECIAL?

NEWBORN, OR CLOSE TO IT,

BLOND, BLUE-EYED.

A PRODUCT OF BRAZIL’S RICH GENETIC HISTORY,

SPECIFICALLY ITS GERMAN HERITAGE.

AND MALE.

MY CLIENTS ARE VERY WELL OFF.

A BLANK CHECK?

THAT’S MY FAVORITE.

NO.

SI.

ENGLISH?

YES, HE IS ENGLISH.

SHE’S A SINGLE MOTHER. NO VISITORS.

THE BOYFRIEND,

HE’S GONE TO THE JUNGLE FOR WORK,

AND, ANYWAY, THEY AREN’T TOGETHER ANYMORE,

AND HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE PREGNANCY.

THE FIRST ONE.

HER?

NOT HER. HIM.

THE BOYFRIEND.

I SAW THE PICTURE.

BLOND HAIR, BLUE EYES.

HE COULD BE A MODEL FOR RALPH LAUREN.

IF THE BABY LOOKS ANYTHING LIKE THE FATHER...

THERE WILL BE A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA FOR YOU

IF HE DOES.

[WOMAN SCREAMING IN LABOR]

[SCREAMING]

[LAUGHING HAPPILY]

[BABY SQUALLING, MOTHER CRYING IN DELIGHT]

[COOS ADORINGLY IN SPANISH]

DOCTOR...

REMEMBER THAT LITTLE SOMETHING YOU PROMISED ME?

CARLA...

IT’S A BOY.

CIGARS ON ME.

[♪]

JAVED...

WHAT IF IT’S ANOTHER GIRL?

WHAT IS THE USE OF ONE MORE?

YOUR WIFE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.

FOREIGNERS WILL PAY MORE FOR HER CHILD--

YOU’LL EARN MORE

THAN SIX MONTHS ON THAT STINKING BOAT!

GO! NOW!

[SCREAMING IN LABOR]

[GASPING IN PAIN]

[SOBBING]

[BABY SQUALLING]

[BABY’S DISTANT CRIES]

UH, NOW, I SEE HERE

THAT THE ISSUE IS INFERTILITY.

YEAH. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT.

I’M SORRY.

BUT YOU KNOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS

THAT, GENERALLY SPEAKING,

WE GIVE PREFERENCE TO WOMEN WHO HAVE TROUBLE CONCEIVING.

OH.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I CAN PROBABLY GET YOU A NEWBORN FAIRLY SOON,

IF YOU’RE READY TO MOVE QUICKLY.

YES, I AM.

WE HAD A COUPLE WHO HAD TO DROP OUT OF OUR TRIP TO INDIA

FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

INDIA?

[♪]

[HONK AND ROAR OF TRAFFIC]

UM, WE’RE ALMOST THERE.

NOW, SOME OF YOU ALREADY KNOW, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T,

I’M AFRAID YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE SEEING YOUR BABIES TODAY.

[GASPS OF DISAPPOINTMENT]

I KNOW, I KNOW.

BUT YOUR BABIES WILL ALL BE BROUGHT TO THE HOTEL

BY THE END OF THE WEEK,

AND THAT’S A PROMISE.

SO FOR NOW, WE’RE GOING TO VISIT THE ORPHANAGE

THAT ROAD TO LOVE SPONSORS ON AN ONGOING BASIS,

AND IT WILL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY

TO HELP SOME OTHER ABANDONED CHILDREN,

WHICH IS WHY YOUR DONATION IS SO APPRECIATED.

$3,500 WILL GO A LONG WAY HERE.

I GUESS THAT’S WHY THEY NEED IT IN CASH.

YEAH, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT.

[KIDS SHOUT IN EXCITEMENT]

I WISH I COULD ADOPT THEM ALL.

PARENTS, HELLO.

YOU ARE MOST WELCOME HERE,

AND WE MUST GIVE A VERY BIG THANK YOU

TO OUR AMERICAN FAIRY GODMOTHER, CARLA HUXLEY,

FOR ALL OF HER SUPPORT WITH OUR CHILDREN

WHO ARE SO VERY, VERY DESERVING.

WELCOME.

SO NICE TO SEE YOU.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

COME. RIGHT THIS WAY.

NICOLE, ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, JUST A STOMACH THING.

MY MEDS ARE IN MY BAG ON THE BUS.

DO YOU WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU?

NO, NO, THANK YOU. YOU STAY.

[BABIES CRY DISTANTLY]

[BABIES FUSSING]

[VIKRAM]: I HOPE YOU APPRECIATE

THE RISKS I’VE TAKEN

IN ACQUIRING THESE BABIES, MS. HUXLEY.

I THINK YOU’LL BE VERY HAPPY.

THEY ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT HEALTH.

AW, AUNTY CARLA WILL MAKE SURE

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE.

THIS ONE IS UNDERWEIGHT.

BUT VERY BEAUTIFUL, NO?

THEY’RE ALL GORGEOUS.

BUT ONE IS MISSING.

SHE WILL ARRIVE.

DON’T WORRY, SHE WILL ARRIVE AS EXPECTED.

THE PRODUCT IS FIRST CLASS, CARLA.

BEAUTIFUL BABY INDIAN GIRLS.

NO MARKS, NO SCARS--

SPARE THE COMMERCIAL. I WROTE IT.

DOLORITA.

MY BABY.

WHERE IS HE?

HE’S GONE, DOLORITA.

WHAT?

WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD, BUT...

NO.

NO! NO! I DON’T BELIEVE YOU.

NO! NO! MY BABY!

NO!

MY BABY!

MIRA...

MIRA.

[CHUCKLING FONDLY]

IS IT A TEAR?

NO, IT’S NOT A TEAR.

WAS SHE BORN WITH SADNESS?

IS IT A SIGN?

IT IS JUST A BIRTHMARK.

AND IF IT IS A SIGN, IT IS A GOOD ONE.

WE WILL ALWAYS KNOW HER BY THIS.

[BABY GURGLES, GASPING RAPIDLY]

MIRA? MIRA!

[BREATHING ERRATICALLY]

[NICOLE]: I’M SORRY, CARLA, BUT...

I’VE BEEN THROWING UP FOR AN HOUR.

I DON’T KNOW, SOMETHING I ATE PROBABLY.

YEAH, I’M JUST GOING TO TAKE A PILL

AND TRY TO SLEEP IT OFF.

OKAY. BYE.

[ROAR OF TRAFFIC]

[NICOLE]: I’M HEADING BACK TO THE ORPHANAGE

TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. COME ON. MOVE.

HOW ARE YOU LIKING OUR MUMBAI TRAFFIC?

JUST LIKE VISITING GRANDMA IN QUEENS.

[CHUCKLES]

HAVE YOU HOOKED UP WITH OUR INDIAN FRIENDS ON THE GROUND?

NO, I CAN’T GET THROUGH TO THEM.

OKAY, I’LL RAISE SOME HELL.

THEY KNOW YOU NEED ARMED BACK-UP

NO MATTER HOW TAME YOUR MISSION IS.

EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR,

WOULD YOU MIND HELPING A SICK BABY?

GO WITH HER. SHE WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SHE’S WITH THE CLINIC.

I DON’T THINK SHE’S BREATHING PROPERLY.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING.

WHO ARE YOU?

THIS BABY NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION.

[GURGLING]

HMM. COME.

WAIT.

YOU TOO, DOCTOR.

WELL, THERE COULD BE A NUMBER OF REASONS FOR THIS.

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME, GBS,

TRANSIENT TACHYPNEA.

ANYTHING ELSE, DOCTOR?

I THINK YOU HAVE IT COVERED.

LISTEN, RAPID BREATHING IS QUITE COMMON IN NEWBORNS.

IT’S USUALLY NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN

UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER SYMPTOMS.

TAKE HER TO THE ORPHANAGE.

TELL THEM TO GIVE HER A NEW CRIB.

TAKE HER HOME.

THE ORPHANAGE IS TOO CROWDED.

TAKE HER TO THE ORPHANAGE.

I NEED HER CLOSE BY TO MONITOR HER SYMPTOMS.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

[BABY CRIES]

GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULDN’T CALL THE POLICE.

I AM THE POLICE.

IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT.

YOU’RE A LONG WAY FROM HOME.

THERE’S A MAN CONNECTED TO THE ORPHANAGE,

WELL-DRESSED, CHAUFFEUR-DRIVEN MERCEDES...

-VIKRAM KUMAR. -AND HE IS?

RICH.

IS SOMETHING WRONG AT THE ORPHANAGE?

KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT BABY.

AND KEEP OUR CONVERSATION TO YOURSELF.

[PHONE RINGS]

[PRAYING SOFTLY]

LISTEN,

I HAVE TO GO TO MY HOME.

CAN YOU WATCH MY DAUGHTER FOR TWO MINUTES?

-YEAH. YEAH, YEAH. -THANK YOU.

A BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY BABY BOY,

BORN LAST NIGHT.

HE’S BEAUTIFUL.

TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND,

AND THEN GET BACK TO ME WHEN YOU DECIDE.

JACK...

JUST LOOK AT HIM.

YOU’LL LOVE HIM.

JACK, YOU WILL.

[BABIES CRY DISTANTLY]

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

VIKRAM KUMAR?

YEAH, NO CRIMINAL RECORD. QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT’S HIS CONNECTION TO THE ORPHANAGE?

HE’S A BIG DONOR.

CLAIMS IT’S HIS MOST IMPORTANT CHARITY.

[KNOCKS URGENTLY]

DILIP’S BABY, SHE’S GONE.

THE PARENTS HAVE TAKEN HER.

NO, THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME.

WELL, SHE IS NOT HERE, SO THEY MUST HAVE TAKEN HER.

SHE DIDN’T CLIMB OUT OF HER CRIB ON HER OWN.

LOOK, THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM.

I WAS HERE AN HOUR AGO.

I EXAMINED HER.

YOU FIND HER, OR I WILL MAKE IT YOUR PROBLEM!

SHE IS GONE, AND THAT IS THAT.

THERE IS NO NEED TO THREATEN ME.

I AM DOING MY BEST.

WE ARE ALL OVERWORKED HERE.

SO MUCH FUSS FOR A FEMALE CHILD.

MY CHILD IS MISSING?

-DILIP... -I KNOW WHO TOOK HER.

YOU ENDANGERED THEIR CHILD FOR YOUR INVESTIGATION.

YOU DIDN’T TELL ME SHE WAS AT RISK!

KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN, SHAHID.

YOU USED HER AS BAIT TO SEE IF SHE’D BE TAKEN!

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE.

TRAFFICKING IN BABIES...

WHO CREATES THIS MARKET?

PEOPLE FROM YOUR COUNTRY

COMING HERE AND BUYING OUR CHILDREN!

THAT’S WHAT I’M TRYING TO STOP!

DILIP!

DILIP! DILIP!

GET IN, I’LL TAKE YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO.

COME ON.

WORD AGAINST MY NEPHEW!

EVERYONE KNOWS HE BUYS AND SELLS BABIES, UNCLE!

LIES AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS!

WHEN WILL JAVED BE BACK?

I DON’T KNOW.

HE’S A VERY BUSY MAN.

OKAY?

NO. UNCLE, PLEASE...

UNCLE, PLEASE!

[MUTTERING] JAVED...

SELLING MY BABY HE STOLE?

IS JAVED CONNECTED TO THE ORPHANAGE?

DOES HE WORK FOR VIKRAM KUMAR?

YOU SAID NOT TO LEAVE MY BABY AT THE ORPHANAGE. WHY?

DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

DILIP, I’M SORRY. I THOUGHT SHE’D BE SAFE.

WHO ARE YOU? YOU’RE NOT A DOCTOR.

LOOK, YOU NEED TO TALK TO THE POLICE.

THE POLICE? THE POLICE, THEY WILL LAUGH AT ME

AND SAY THAT I’M WELL RID OF A FEMALE CHILD,

BUT YOU... YOU’RE AMERICAN POLICE.

I’M SORRY. I CAN’T INVOLVE YOU IN THIS.

NO, I CAN HELP YOU.

-NO... -YOU NEED ME.

YOU ARE A FOREIGN WOMAN. NO ONE WILL SPEAK WITH YOU.

NO, IT’S TOO RISKY.

I’M THE FATHER.

I WILL TAKE ANY RISK FOR MY CHILD.

JAVED...

NO, NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU’RE NOT COMING WITH ME.

SHE IS MY BABY.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. IT’S TOO DANGEROUS.

HE’S GETTING AWAY.

[HONKING]

THERE HE IS.

YOU HAVE CHILDREN?

NO. I’M ONLY 30.

OKAY, 32.

YOU COULD BE A GRANDMOTHER.

THANK YOU.

FOR MAKING A FUSS ABOUT A FEMALE CHILD.

DO YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE?

OF COURSE.

PUT IN YOUR NUMBER.

I’LL CALL YOU AS SOON AS I FIND SOMETHING.

WHAT?

I’M DROPPING YOU OFF, OKAY?

HEY, HE’S PULLING OFF!

[BABIES CRYING]

[BABIES SCREAMING AND WAILING]

[STEAM HISSES AND SPURTS]

THEY FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE, THEY’LL KILL YOU.

THIS WILL SOON BE FORGOTTEN.

YOU SAY SHE FOLLOWED HIM?

AND WAS THERE WITH HIM WHEN HE WENT TO JAVED’S UNCLE

NO.

DON’T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY GET THERE.

WHY HAVEN’T THEY CALLED ME?

OUR LIAISON IS COMING TO SEE ME NOW.

I’M SORRY, MORRISON,

THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

[SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION]

AN AMERICAN DOCTOR ASKING QUESTIONS?

SO NOUREEN SAYS.

SHE SAYS SHE HAD NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE.

CARLA...

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU HAVEN’T TOLD ME?

NO.

YOU ARE THE MAN WITH THE CONTACTS.

USE THEM, LOOK INTO THIS.

AFTER ALL, IT IS WHY I PAY YOU.

I’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

JENNY, LOOK, SOMETHING’S COME UP, AND I NEED TO LEAVE

IF SOME FOREIGNER IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO PAY MONEY FOR HER,

YOU ARE A VERY CLEVER MAN.

I’M ON IT.

I’M TOLD THAT OUR OFFICERS HAVE YOUR AGENT’S POSITION

YOU WANT TO RAID THE WAREHOUSE?

YES, TO GATHER EVIDENCE.

WHAT? NICOLE?

I’M TOLD SHE’S WORKING ALONE.

SHE’S BEEN HUGELY DISCREDITED.

[TOSSES PHONE DOWN]

I CAN’T IMAGINE

WHAT MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE

IF SHE HADN’T RESCUED ME.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO SAVE AN ABANDONED BABY.

MOM?

OH.

[VOICE SHAKY] UM...

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I--

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE THINGS

GOING ON IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW,

AND ALL OF THE HEARTBREAKING ABUSE

THAT BABIES ARE SUBJECTED TO.

AND NOT JUST ABANDONMENT,

BUT IN SOME CASES, IN SOME COUNTRIES,

MURDER, ESPECIALLY OF BABY GIRLS,

AND I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT ROAD TO LOVE

BATTLES AGAINST THESE ABUSES, AND WE WIN.

AND IF SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO FIGHT A LITTLE HARDER,

THEN SO BE IT, BECAUSE WE DO WHAT’S NECESSARY,

AND WE DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, BECAUSE WHAT WE DO IS RIGHT,

AND WHAT WE DO IS IMPORTANT.

ALL THE DOCUMENTS CHECKED OUT.

EVERY SINGLE INFANT IS A LEGITIMATE ORPHAN.

NO, NO, NO, THESE ADOPTION PAPERS

AND BIRTH CERTIFICATES MUST BE BOGUS.

CARLA HUXLEY PAID OFF THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES.

ROAD TO LOVE HAS BEEN CLEARED OF ALL ALLEGATIONS,

AND THE PARENTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN FULL PERMISSION

TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY WITH THEIR INFANTS.

WE EVEN HAD TO APOLOGIZE.

TO THEM, TO CARLA HUXLEY,

AND TO THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT.

WHAT ABOUT DILIP PATEL?

THE MPS REPORT SAYS THAT HE DIED FROM INJURIES

SUSTAINED IN A FALL.

OH, MY GOD... IT WAS MURDER.

I’M SORRY, MORRISON.

WE HAVE TO WORK WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

THE BEST WAY WE CAN.

EVEN TASK FORCES WE HAND-PICK

AREN’T ALWAYS FREE FROM CORRUPTION.

HE DIED?

DILIP? -I’M SO SORRY.

AND MY CHILD?

DEPA, I DON’T KNOW.

I DON’T KNOW IF HE FOUND HER.

THERE’S A CHANCE SHE WAS TAKEN TO AMERICA.

I PROMISE YOU,

I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO FIND HER.

[VOICE SHAKY] WHY DO YOU COME HERE?

YOU COME ALL THE WAY FROM AMERICA

TO STEAL MY CHILD?

TO STEAL HER FROM HER FATHER?

HER MOTHER?

SHE BELONGS HERE!

SHE IS LOVED HERE!

BUT YOU CAN TAKE HER AWAY BECAUSE...

BECAUSE YOU HAVE MONEY?

YOU TOOK MY HUSBAND!

NOW WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF US?

HIS PARENTS? HIS CHILDREN?

WE HAVE LOST EVERYTHING...

[SOBBING] WE’VE LOST EVERYTHING!

I WILL BRING HER BACK.

I PROMISE YOU, I WILL FIND HER,

AND I WILL BRING HER BACK.

MRS. HUXLEY.

RAFAEL? DO NOT CALL ME.

I DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU’RE POISON.

BUT YOU WILL WANT TO HEAR THIS,

BECAUSE THIS TIME THE PRODUCT I HAVE FOR YOU

IS ALL-AMERICAN.

BORN IN THE U.S.A.

100% LEGAL. THE GIRLS ARE HERE.

NOW TELL ME AGAIN YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED.

LISTEN CAREFULLY.

I’M NOT INTERESTED.

DILIP PATEL.

HIS DAUGHTER, MIRA, DISAPPEARED FROM THIS ORPHANAGE.

SHE HAS A BIRTHMARK ON HER CHEEK

LIKE A TEARDROP.

THE FACT IS, I FAILED TO PROTECT HIM, SIR.

I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

YES, I READ YOUR REPORT.

IT’S PRETTY CLEAR TO ME NOW

THAT CARLA HUXLEY IS AT THE CENTER

OF A MAJOR TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION

IN INDIA AND BRAZIL, AND, OF COURSE, IN MEXICO,

WHERE RAFAEL OCHOA IS HER AGENT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

DO YOU THINK SHE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH KYLE’S MURDER?

NO...

NO, I DON’T.

SHE KNEW WE WERE WATCHING HER.

IT’S THE LAST THING SHE WOULD HAVE DONE.

I’M SURE IT WAS OCHOA ON HIS OWN,

AND, FRANKLY, HE MAY BE HER ACHILLES HEEL.

GREAT.

CARLA HUXLEY WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP US NAIL HIM.

INSTEAD, SHE’S NAILED US.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL TO SHOW FOR INDIA?

I HAVE DNA SAMPLES

FROM DILIP PATEL’S WIDOW AND CHILDREN.

IF WE CAN FIND THE BABY WITH THE TEARDROP BIRTHMARK

AND GET HER TESTED...

WE CAN PROVE IT WAS TRAFFICKED BY CARLA HUXLEY.

HOW DOES THAT GET US OCHOA?

CARLA’S OUT IN THE OPEN.

IF WE CAN PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE ON HER, SHE’LL GIVE UP OCHOA,

AND THEN, IF WE PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE ON HIM,

HE’LL BITE HER BACK.

SO ONE STOLEN BABY GIRL FROM INDIA...

YES, SIR.

...WHO LEADS US TO CARLA HUXLEY...

YES, SIR.

AND RAFAEL OCHOA.

YES, SIR.

GOOD.

THANK YOU, SIR.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

NICOLE!

OH, MY GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

COME IN.

THANKS.

WE WONDERED WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO YOU.

WERE YOU THERE FOR THE POLICE RAID?

UGH...

ERIN, THERE’S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.

IT WAS SO HORRIBLE,

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS OVER,

AND THE CONSULATE WAS SAYING THE WHOLE THING WAS A MISTAKE.

I COULD NOT WAIT

TO GET OUT OF THERE WITH MY BABY.

[CHUCKLES]

OH, MY GOD.

YOU DIDN’T GET YOUR BABY...

OH, AND HERE I AM GOING ON AND ON ABOUT CATHERINE.

AGENT NIC MORRISON,

HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS.

I’M INVESTIGATING BABY TRAFFICKING.

THAT’S WHY I WAS IN MUMBAI.

ERIN, I’VE BEEN TALKING TO THE AMERICAN PARENTS

WHO WERE THERE.

YOU’RE FOURTH ON MY LIST.

I’M TRYING TO TRACK DOWN ONE OF THE BABIES

WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

WHY? THEY’RE LEGAL.

THE CONSULATE SAID SO.

ALL THE BABIES ARE LEGAL.

SHE HAS A DISTINCT BIRTHMARK UNDER HER EYE,

LIKE A TEAR.

[BABY STARTS FUSSING]

HER NAME IS MIRA.

SHE WAS STOLEN.

[BABY CRIES]

I WANT YOU TO LEAVE. NOW.

LOOK, I KNOW HOW HARD THIS IS FOR YOU,

BUT SHE WAS NEVER GIVEN UP. SHE WAS TAKEN.

HER FATHER DIED

TRYING TO GET HER BACK--

SHE’S MINE.

EVERYTHING IS LEGAL,

AND I’M NEVER GOING TO GIVE HER UP.

[GENTLY] YOU’LL HAVE TO WHEN THE DNA PROVES SHE’S MIRA.

HER NAME IS CATHERINE.

AND I ASKED YOU TO LEAVE.

[BABY CRYING]

[BABY CRYING]

[BABY FUSSING]

ERIN BURKE’S FIGHTING THE COURT ORDER

FOR THE DNA TEST.

LEGAL’S TELLING ME

SHE COULD DELAY FOR MONTHS.

I MEAN, WITHOUT IT,

WE’VE GOT NOTHING ON CARLA HUXLEY.

BUT MEANWHILE SHE’S IN RIO.

BUSINESS AS USUAL.

AND YOU WANT TO GO THERE AND RATTLE HER CAGE.

WE NEED TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON, SIR.

RIGHT NOW, SHE’S FEELING CONFIDENT.

OVER-CONFIDENT.

[♪]

YOU SAY YOUR BABY WAS STOLEN FROM THE HOSPITAL?

BY DR. AZEVEDO. YES.

I’M VERY SORRY,

BUT WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE UNITED STATES?

HE WILL BE AT THE COPACABANA HOTEL NEXT WEEK

TO GIVE BRAZIL BABIES TO AMERICANS

THROUGH ROAD TO LOVE ADOPTION AGENCY.

MAYBE MY BABY WILL BE THERE.

HAVE YOU TOLD THIS TO THE POLICE?

THE RIO POLICE, THEY DON’T CARE.

I HAVE NO ONE TO HELP ME EXCEPT FOR YOU,

THE AMERICAN EMBASSY.

WELL, WE’RE THE U.S. CONSULATE.

I’M NOT SURE HOW WE CAN HELP,

BUT I CAN TAKE A REPORT.

A REPORT? SO YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT ME?

I WILL FIND MY BABY WITHOUT YOU.

SO, I UNDERSTAND THERE WERE SOME, UM...

PROBLEMS IN MUMBAI?

OH, THEY WERE CLEARED UP IMMEDIATELY.

IN FACT, IT ACTUALLY ENDED UP

WORKING TO OUR BENEFIT.

HMM.

SO HOW’S MY SPECIAL ORDER COMING?

OH, BLONDER BY THE DAY.

[CHUCKLING]

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.

THIS WOMAN HERE, DO YOU SEE HER?

[SHOUTING IN PROTEST]

[PROTESTING URGENTLY]

UH, ANOTHER DRINK?

SOME LOOSE ENDS, DAVID?

DON’T TELL ME. JUST FIX IT.

STIEG...

BOA NOITE.

DOLORITA DA SILVA?

DETECTIVE RAOUL STIEG.

VENHA COMIGO.

[DOLORITA SCREAMS]

[MUFFLED BANGS AND CRIES]

[GUNSHOTS BLAST]

AGENT MORRISON?

YES.

I’M TRACEY, THE ATTACHE ASSIGNED TO YOUR CASE.

WE DON’T HAVE MUCH ON ROAD TO LOVE, I’M AFRAID,

EXCEPT FOR A REPORT

FILED BY A YOUNG BRAZILIAN WOMAN LAST WEEK.

SHE BELIEVED HER BABY

WAS STOLEN FROM A HOSPITAL.

OKAY, I’D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH HER.

THAT CAN BE ARRANGED

BY YOUR LIAISON HERE IN RIO, DETECTIVE CARDOSA,

THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THEIR CHILD TRAFFICKING DIVISION.

HE’LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU.

[SIGHS]

EXCUSE ME,

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME CARLA HUXLEY’S ROOM NUMBER?

I BELIEVE THAT’S MRS. HUXLEY OVER THERE.

SO WE’LL BEGIN THE HANDOVERS TONIGHT

ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO DISAPPOINTMENTS.

YEAH... OH, GET BACK TO ME.

AGENT MORRISON, WHAT BRINGS YOU TO RIO?

A VACATION?

OR ARE YOU JOB-HUNTING AFTER YOUR FIASCO IN INDIA?

MAY I?

PLEASE.

LET’S GET YOU A DRINK.

NO, THANKS.

ACTUALLY, WE LEARNED A LOT FROM INDIA.

DID YOU?

WE LEARNED YOU WON’T STOP SHORT OF MURDER.

OH, MY, IS THAT SUPPOSED TO UPSET ME?

YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE ME,

BUT I FIND IT HARD TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY, NICOLE.

THAT IS YOUR NAME, ISN’T IT?

MM-HM.

YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE

SEEM TO BE CONDUCTING SOME WAR AGAINST ME,

GOD KNOWS WHY.

ROAD TO LOVE HAS BROUGHT THOUSAND OF ORPHANS

INTO THE ARMS OF LOVING PARENTS.

YEAH, I’VE HEARD YOUR PITCH, REMEMBER?

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS YOU THINK I’M UP TO, NICOLE,

I’M NOT, AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE OTHERWISE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I FIND INTERESTING?

I’VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON YOU.

THAT’S A GOOD START.

AND I KNOW PART OF YOUR STORY IS ACTUALLY TRUE.

YOU DID FIND YOUR DAUGHTER

IN AN EL SALVADOR ORPHANAGE...

ACTUALLY, WE DON’T NEED TO BRING MY DAUGHTER INTO THIS.

YOU WENT THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS,

YOU ADOPTED HER THROUGH A REPUTABLE AGENCY,

WHICH ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE,

AND YOU BROUGHT HER BACK TO L.A.

I MEAN, YOU DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.

AND YET SOMEHOW THROUGH THIS VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE,

YOU CONCLUDED

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN IT YOU COULD EXPLOIT.

THIS IS ABSURD.

THERE’S MONEY TO BE MADE IN BABIES.

YOU KNOW, ROAD TO LOVE COULD HAVE BEEN

A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL LEGITIMATE AGENCY.

WITH YOUR TALENTS, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN TO THAT.

BUT YOU GOT GREEDY.

BABIES BECAME COMMODITIES FOR YOU, RIGHT?

VOLUME AND TURNOVER.

AND IF ENOUGH WEREN’T AVAILABLE, YOU’D STEAL THEM?

HOW DARE YOU SIT HERE AND TALK TO ME LIKE THIS?

THE THING IS,

IT’S SOMETHING I TAKE KIND OF PERSONALLY.

I WAS ADOPTED.

HOW WONDERFUL FOR YOU.

YEAH, IT WAS.

I HAD GREAT PARENTS, I’VE HAD A GOOD LIFE--

YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT,

AND FRANKLY, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOU ANYMORE.

WHY DON’T YOU GO BACK AND DO YOUR LITTLE REPORTS,

OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU DO?

I’VE GOT WORK TO DO.

WE’RE GOING TO GET YOU, MRS. HUXLEY.

DAVID, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

SHE FOLLOWED YOU TO RIO?

THEN SHE WILL BE INVESTIGATING ME.

YOU’LL MAKE SURE SHE DOESN’T.

YOU’LL MAKE SURE

THAT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING INTERFERES

WITH THE WONDERFUL WORK WE DO, RIGHT?

[DROPS PHONE SHARPLY]

[BABY FUSSING]

HERE HE IS.

OH, MY GOSH.

HI... HI!

[BABY CRYING]

[COOING] HELLO...

OH, MY GOSH.

YOUR TICKETS HOME.

THANK YOU, JENNY.

SEE YOU IN SAN FRANCISCO.

SHE’S LATE.

I CALLED HER, BUT SHE’S NOT ANSWERING HER PHONE.

DID SHE TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT HER BABY?

SHE ABSOLUTELY BELIEVES THAT HE WAS STOLEN.

SHE THINKS

THAT DR. AZEVEDO AT THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL

IS INVOLVED WITH THE ROAD TO LOVE.

BUT NO ONE BELIEVES HER.

SHE’S NEVER LATE.

AGENT MORRISON?

-YES? -DETECTIVE RAOUL STIEG.

I AM ASSIGNED AS YOUR LIAISON WITH RIO DE JANEIRO POLICE.

I THINK YOU WERE EXPECTING ME?

NO, I WAS EXPECTING A DETECTIVE CARDOSA.

UNFORTUNATELY, HE’S IN SAO PAOLO,

BUT DO NOT WORRY, HE’S BRIEFED ME ON THE CASE.

PLEASE.

[CONVERSING WITH THE LANDLADY IN PORTUGUESE]

DOLORITA DA SILVA

DIDN’T COME HOME LAST NIGHT.

SHE THINKS MAYBE SHE HAS A NEW BOYFRIEND,

OR MAYBE SHE WENT TO HER VILLAGE.

LET’S GO TALK TO DR. DAVID AZEVEDO.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

SI!

BOM DIA, DOCTOR.

AH, AGENT MORRISON. DAVID AZEVEDO.

HI.

I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS

READY FOR YOU.

OH, I ASKED DR. AZEVEDO TO PREPARE THE BIRTH

AND DEATH CERTIFICATES OF THE DA SILVA BABY,

TO SAVE TIME.

WHERE ARE MY MANNERS?

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?

NO. I’M FINE, THANKS.

AND THIS IS YOUR SIGNATURE ON THE BABY’S DEATH CERTIFICATE?

I WAS ON DUTY THAT NIGHT.

OH!

THIS IS PATRICIA COSTA,

OUR HEAD NURSE.

SHE KNOWS DOLORITA DA SILVA.

OH, DOLORITA...

YES, YES, I WAS AT THE DELIVERY.

DOLORITA WANTS TO BELIEVE

HER BABY IS STOLEN

BECAUSE SHE CAN’T ACCEPT THE DEATH OF HER CHILD.

IT’S VERY SAD.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

IT’S MY PLEASURE.

EXCUSE ME.

STANDARD PROCEDURE, DETECTIVE?

GIVE THE SUSPECT ADVANCE NOTICE

ABOUT THE QUESTIONS HE’LL BE FACING?

YOU CONSIDER HIM A SUSPECT?

DR. AZEVEDO IS A MAN OF IMPECCABLE REPUTATION.

LET’S FIND OUT.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]

WE’LL GET DOLORITA’S DNA

FROM THE HAIRS IN HER BRUSH,

COMPARE IT TO THE BABIES BEING ADOPTED

THROUGH ROAD TO LOVE.

SO LET’S START BY GETTING THE AUTHORITIES

TO PREVENT ANY OF THOSE BABIES FROM LEAVING THE COUNTRY

UNTIL WE CAN GET THEM TESTED.

I AM SURE WE WILL FIND DOLORITA DA SILVA

IN HER VILLAGE.

HOW FAR IS IT?

NOT MUCH FURTHER.

YOU ARE PULLING ON A THREAD.

A POOR YOUNG WOMAN

WHO CAN’T ACCEPT HER BABY IS DEAD.

YOU REALLY DON’T THINK CHILD TRAFFICKING GOES ON HERE?

THE MOTHERS ARE POOR.

THAT’S WHY NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION.

[SIGHS]

THE TIRE.

I THINK IT IS GOING FLAT.

THESE ROADS...

[TURNS OFF ENGINE]

[COCKS WEAPON]

[GRUNTS]

[BLOWS THUD]

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMING]

IS THAT HOW YOU CHANGE A TIRE, RAOUL?

THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING.

YOU’RE MY THREAD, RAOUL, AND I’M GOING TO PULL IT HARD.

[FIRES]

TALK TO ME,

OR MY AIM IMPROVES.

YOU DIDN’T COUNT ON DOLORITA DA SILVA, DID YOU?

SHE REFUSED TO BELIEVE YOUR LIES,

AND WHEN SHE DIDN’T BACK DOWN, YOU HAD HER KILLED.

THIS IS A CONFESSION OF A CORRUPT DETECTIVE

TRYING TO SAVE HIS SKIN.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

DO YOU KNOW THE REPUTATION

THAT I HAVE EARNED IN THIS COUNTRY?

GIVE UP CARLA HUXLEY, DOCTOR...

AND WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CHOOSES TO BELIEVE

IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

BUT THEN THE MOMENT CAME, AND THEY PUT HER IN MY ARMS,

AND SHE OPENED HER TINY LITTLE EYES,

AND LOOKED UP AT ME WITH SUCH COMPLETE TRUST.

HOW CAN I BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THAT FEELING?

ALL MY FEARS VANISHED.

CARLA HUXLEY?

SHOW’S OVER.

I’M SORRY, WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?

BABY TRAFFICKING.

SELLING ILLEGALLY OBTAINED CHILDREN.

THAT ISN’T TRUE. THAT’S A LIE.

THAT IS A LIE.

DOLORITA DA SILVA.

YOU PAID TO BUY HER BABY,

BUT WHEN SHE COMPLAINED A LITTLE TOO PUBLICLY,

SHE WAS KILLED.

DILIP PATEL WAS MURDERED

TRYING TO SAVE HIS BABY,

A BABY YOU BOUGHT FROM VIKRAM KUMAR.

IF THESE CLAIMS ARE REAL,

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM.

I ACT IN GOOD FAITH

WITH FOREIGN OFFICIALS AND LOCAL AGENTS.

I CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

FOR THEIR ACTIONS,

NOR CAN I BE BLAMED

IF I ACCEPT DOCUMENTS IN GOOD FAITH

THAT PROVE TO BE FRAUDULENT.

DAVID AZEVEDO IS WILLING TO TESTIFY

THAT YOU PAID FOR STOLEN BABIES.

AGAIN,

I CAN’T CONTROL FOREIGN AGENTS.

I HAVE COOPERATED WITH YOU,

DESPITE YOUR PROVOCATIONS,

AND WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.

I’D LIKE THAT NOTED.

SO EITHER CHARGE ME, OR LET ME GO.

A DNA MATCH IS GOING TO PROVE THAT DILIP PATEL’S BABY,

WHOSE ADOPTION YOU BROKERED, WAS STOLEN.

THIS CAMPAIGN OF HARASSMENT AGAINST ME AND MY AGENCY

HAS, FROM THE START, BEEN A PERSONAL VENDETTA

CONDUCTED BY YOU, AGENT MORRISON,

FOR REASONS VERY MUCH YOUR OWN.

YOU ADMITTED AS MUCH TO ME IN RIO.

I DID NO SUCH THING.

ARE WE DONE HERE?

YOU’RE DONE.

OR YOU WILL BE WHEN RAFAEL OCHOA FINDS OUT

YOU’VE BEEN TALKING TO HOMELAND SECURITY ABOUT HIM.

COOPERATING WITH OUR INVESTIGATION.

THAT’S A LIE.

SO?

THE APPEARANCE OF COOPERATION IS JUST AS DANGEROUS TO YOU

AS ACTUAL COOPERATION.

EITHER WAY, CARLA, YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR,

YOU’RE A MARKED WOMAN.

UNLESS RAFAEL OCHOA NO LONGER POSES A THREAT.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

OCHOA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH

OF ONE OF OUR AGENTS.

SO... IF YOU CAN BE OF SERVICE TO US...

I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING.

YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA?

SHE’S RIGHT. WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH DIRECT EVIDENCE

TO PUT HER AWAY,

BUT IF WE CAN GET RAFAEL OCHOA TO TALK,

WE CAN NAIL BOTH OF THEM.

SHE MUST KNOW THAT.

YEAH, SURE SHE DOES,

BUT SHE’S MORE AFRAID OF HIM THAN SHE IS OF US.

[DISPATCH CRACKLES OVER RADIO]

OH, GOD.

REESE, DO YOU READ ME? AM I CLEAR?

OH, OKAY, I WANT IT UNDERSTOOD

THAT WHATEVER I SAY TO RAFAEL IS AN ATTEMPT TO ENTRAP HIM.

IT’S NOT AN ADMISSION OF MY GUILT.

ONCE WE GET WHAT WE NEED,

I’LL GIVE YOU THE SIGNAL, AND WE’RE OUT OF THERE.

THEN THE TEAM GOES IN AND ARRESTS HIM.

UNDERSTOOD?

ARE YOU CARRYING A GUN?

NO.

I SHOULD CARRY A GUN.

HE’S NOT GOING TO SEARCH ME.

NO GUNS.

LET’S GO.

RAFAEL.

HOLA, CARLA.

THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE, NICKY KING,

THE ONE I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT.

ENCANTADO, SENORA.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR MATERNITY HOSPITAL.

WHERE’S YOUR DELIVERY ROOM?

IT’S HERE. EVERYTHING IS HERE.

I WILL SHOW YOU.

SO, TELL ME ABOUT THIS SETUP YOU’VE GOT GOING ON HERE.

YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF.

YOU BRING THE WOMEN FROM MEXICO TO GIVE BIRTH?

SI.

WE HAVE A DOCTOR, NURSES, EVERYTHING.

THE BIRTHS ARE REGISTERED AS THEY HAPPEN.

BORN IN THE U.S.A.

TODO OFFICIALIS.

RAFAEL...

I KNOW YOU.

SORRY?

YES, IT IS YOU.

RAFAEL, SHE’S AN AGENT.

SHE WAS THERE WHEN JOSE WAS KILLED.

NO. NO, WE’VE NEVER MET.

[CARLA]: NO, NO, NO, THAT’S CRAZY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

CARLA, YOU WISH TO SHOP ME TO THE HSI?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

[DRAWS GUN]

YOU TOO? HMM?

AH...

A WIRE!

I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THAT. I DIDN’T...

IT’S GONE BAD. WE’RE GOING IN!

RAFAEL, OKAY, I DIDN’T KNOW. I DIDN’T KNOW.

PLEASE GET ON THE FLOOR, ON YOUR KNEES.

-I DIDN’T KNOW-- -ON YOUR KNEES!

POR FAVOR, SENORA.

CARLA...

YOU WISH TO SAVE YOURSELF

BY GIVING THEM ME?

IT WON’T HAPPEN.

RAFAEL, YOU’VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME, I DIDN’T KNOW.

SHE FOOLED ME TOO.

I TRUSTED--I TRUSTED YOU!

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

YOU THINK I AM STUPID?

NO, I DON’T THINK YOU’RE STUPID.

I DON’T THINK YOU’RE STUPID!

AND THIS...

I AM GOING TO ENJOY.

[DISTANT GUNFIRE]

[BLOWS THUD]

[CRIES OUT]

[BLOW THUDS HEAVILY]

[BLOWS THUD AND SMACK]

IT’S OVER, OCHOA.

[FIRES]

WHY?

I HAD HIM. HE WAS DONE.

I SAVED YOUR LIFE!

YOU KILLED HIM TO SHUT HIM UP.

I SAVED YOUR LIFE.

[DOOR BURSTS OPEN]

NIC, YOU OKAY?

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

OCHOA’S DEAD. SHE SHOT HIM.

I SAVED HER LIFE. ASK HER.

I SAVED HER LIFE!

SO, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THERE?

SHE OUTSMARTED US.

WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH

TO PROSECUTE CARLA HUXLEY.

NOT EVEN FOR THE MURDER OF RAFAEL OCHOA?

SHE WAS ACTING AS OUR AGENT.

SAYS SHE WAS TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

CAN WE PROVE OTHERWISE?

IN ANY CASE,

SHE’S OUT OF THE BABY BUSINESS FOR GOOD,

AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT.

YEAH.

AND YOU FOUND DILIP PATEL’S BABY.

YOU DID GOOD WORK.

I WISH I COULD SEE IT THAT WAY.

DILIP PATEL IS DEAD,

AND VIKRAM KUMAR’S NEVER GOING TO PAY THE PRICE.

WE DO WHAT WE CAN, NIC.

[♪]

MIRA?

YEAH.

MIRA...

[♪]

MIRA! [LAUGHING]

[♪]
