So you'll take care of them?

Great.

Talk?

Yes, but whatever you do,

do not let her leave that room.

Yes, ma'am.

She shows no signs of dilation.

We did her bloodwork,
her ultrasound.

There's no HCG.

A hormone secreted
by the placenta.

What are you saying?

She didn't give birth today.

Guess that's not
that surprising.

She is old as the hills.

Wasn't her blood.

Hi, there.
What's your name?

Maisie.

Maisie DeBroses Montgomery.

Where's my baby?

Maisie?

I am Lois Tryon.

I'm a detective.

Your baby is fine.
They have him in an incubator.

But I need to ask you
some questions.

Is he okay?

He's so early,
but isn't it glorious?

Maisie, where did
you give birth today?

Was it in the car?

Were you at home?

Are you going to be
in my room for very long?

Because I don't
understand why I'm talking

to the police
and not pediatricians

- and specialists.
- Mm-hmm.

Don't you think
it's a little unusual

for a woman your age
to have given birth?

Sarah, of biblical fame,

age 90,

gives birth right here
in the glorious book of Genesis.

There's that word again:
glorious.

And in Spain, 2006,

Maria del Carmen de Lara

gave birth age 66.

So I want my baby

and to go home.

Home. Where is home,

Maisie, hmm?

You know,

your bloodwork was tested.

And there is no way
you gave birth today, but...

I was at a crime scene earlier
where pregnant women

were cut open and their babies
were taken from them.

We are going to test that...

and find out if it's a match.

It's not.

But...

there is great malefaction
in this town.

You have noticed that,
Detective, yes?

Sometimes newborns are used
in glorious ceremonies

- to fight these evils.
- Okay.

Now that's the third time.

Is there a reason you keep
using the word "glorious"?

It could possibly be someone
is trying to get your attention.

- And who would that be?
- [inhales sharply]

Have you ever wondered why

you're encountering me today,
Detective?

Maybe it was kismet,
maybe it was meant to be.

Maybe it's a sign and a wonder.

What makes you imagine

this is not all just some
glorious dream you are having?

[scoffs softly]

I wish it were.

What would I represent?

You perhaps?

What would the baby represent?

Also you?

We might be just some kind
of a vision.

Okay, well...

Thank you, Maisie.

Do you know what a 5150 hold is?

Let me explain.

I'm gonna talk to the staff,

and I'm gonna have them hold you
in the psych ward

for 72 hours, just until we get
all this worked out, okay?

Please.

Please don't.

[sighs]
I just want my dear baby,

and to go off, blown by El Niño.

[exhales]

What wrong have I ever done?

[sighs]

Nothing.

But you?

What wrongs have you done?

More than you can imagine.

She was fun.

We got a hit from Interpol
on her fingerprints.

Nothing in this country,
but you're not gonna believe it.

Try me.

Her real name is
Moira Hatzigeorgiou,

born in Thessaloníki, Greece,
she's 67.

And when you got Glorious McKall

on human trafficking,

this sweetheart was part
of the family

obtaining babies in Cyprus.

Jesus Christ.
She was in there going on

about "glorious" this,
"glorious" that,

and said that someone was trying
to get my attention.

Have you ID'd the baby yet?

Not yet,

I was bored in my job,

single.

I went to work, I came home

to my orange tabby,
who actually despised me.

And I was smarter than that.

You know, I...
I deserve more than that.

I wanted to be what I once was

in the world, you know?

Vital and curious.

Anyway, um...

one day, I read this
article in the local paper

about his seminar.

"Terror Management
in Existential Philosophy."

And I went.

Terror management
is simply this:

The film in our heads
which we can't see,

which is always running,
is a horror flick,

the soundtrack of which
is terrifying.

And this is what
we are hearing today:

"I will die.

"Those I love will die.

All will die."

And we cope with
that horror by seeking out

and creating
anything that gives us

a sense of permanence.

Patriotism,

procreation,

art,

all attempts to silence
that soundtrack.

And that is how we manage

the terror of death.

Questions?

[Redd]
Oh, that class.

I took it again
the following semester,

learning more
than I had the prior.

...the burden of creating
meaning in an indifferent

universe.
Live fully and die.

You hear me?

- Hello?
- [laughter]

This is our final lecture.

I have so appreciated you all.

Stay in touch if you like.

Fan mail is always appreciated.

[laughter]

Enjoy the summer. Thank you.

[cheering and applause]

Always the last to leave.

I hate it ending, Professor.

I think, in fact,
this seminar is saving me.

Uh, maybe over drinks,

you can tell me
why it saved you.

Is that a yes?

My cruelty to you.

I was lost...

without him.

Do you know how-how hard

and how much he grieved
what happened to your family?

Nothing can prepare you

to live with a hole
in your stomach

when you see your child
sneaking a-a quart of ice cream

in a drug store parking lot

and your wife with a pint
of some cheap vodka.

How did this happen?

Kidnapping children

and k-killing women? Yes.

'Kay, but-but if you tell me

where they are,
where-where he is,

in some measure,
it might be redemptive.

If it's not too late.

Those were not good mothers.

They would have given
their babies away to strangers.

Made 'em work on the streets
like whores.

They did not love those babies.

Those women's choices condemned
those children to death.

We had to save 'em.

they were going to homes

of grace and good.

But he lies so convincingly.

No, my dear.

No. If only it were that easy.
