Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 9, Episode 16 - Gabby - full transcript

Want to get out of
your seatbelt for me?

I did it!

You did?

Yeah, mama.

I always do it.
It's so easy!

Is it so easy?

Let's go see
your auntie sue.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Where's hillary
the hippo?!

Ohh! Where is hillary
the hippo?!

Oh, my goodness!
You think I'd forget her?



Thank you, mama.
Can I go play in that?

I don't know.
You'll have to ask
your aunt sue first.

Well, who is this
little house mouse?

Hello, me.
Nice to meet you.
I'm sue.

You're silly.

Can I go play in there?

Heck, yeah. I got it
just for you.

[gasps]

You did? Where?

I gave him 10 bucks for it.
Pretty good, huh?

Yeah!

So, here are some
mac and cheese two-fer
coupons and some cash.

But it'll get you through
a couple drive-thrus.

And no sodas. Milk.



My cell phone's not gonna
work on the cruise,
I don't think,

So if something happens,
just call the travel agent?

Oh, god, maybe I should just
cancel this whole trip.

Are you kidding me?
You win an amazing raffle

And you want to cancel it?
That's crazy.

Honey, you're going
and you're going right now.

I've just never left her
for a whole week before.

Relax. Get drunk, get laid,
we've got this.

Right, gabby?

Wait, I'm coming out.

[laughing]

Come here.

Give me a hug.

I love you, and you listen
to your aunt sue, ok?

Ok, mama.

I...Love...You!

[giggling]

Have fun.
Bye, I love you.

Can we play
in the house now?

Say bye, mommy.

Bye!

I love you!

Love you more.

We'll miss you. Mwah!

Mwah.

You want to have some fun?

Yeah.

Ok.
Let's be fairies.

You got your wings?

Yeah.

Bing!

Ding!

Ding! [giggles]

Ok.

You need a jacket, honey.

It's cold.

I'm fine, daphnie,
thank you.

Oh, poor thing.
Can't sleep again, huh?

Been away from her mama
about a week.

It's just at nighttime
is a bit of trouble.

I'm glad to see the quiet
drives are helping.

Always worked with my babies.

Have a nice sleep, little one.

Night night.

Night night.

You buckled up.
Yeah. Ok.

[car starts]

[car starts]

[bell dings]

Uh, milk, sorry.

Hey, slow down, shorty.

Hey, 6.50 on number 2.

There's a line, willie.

Just turn on
the pump, man.

'cause as you can see,
I got very big hands.

I'm fine, thank you.

Sure is one fine little
lady, though.

Help! Help! Somebody, help!

Help! Someone call 911!

Somebody help! The baby's gone!

Help! Call 911!
My baby's gone!

Please call!

Please! Call 911!

Aah! Oh, my god!

Oh, my god! Aah!

Aah! Help!

It is now 3 hours and counting
since 4-year-old gabby hoffer

Why would anyone
leave a little girl
alone in a car at night?

Sue told local authorities
that she was a couple blocks
from her house,

She was in and out
of that mini mart
in under 4 minutes.

That's a pretty tight
window of opportunity.

Whoever took her
must have been
stalking them.

Is there a history of child
abductions in this area?

No, but the local registry
shows a high concentration
of sex offenders.

We do have an eyewitness,
but his recollection's

Limited to a dark van
that he saw pull up
next to sue's car.

So we don't have a color
or know who was driving.

Are their surveillance
cameras on the premises?

Yes, there was one camera,
it's in the store,
and it's ancient,

But the footage is being
sent to the lab right now
for enhancement.

Ssa canning is on scene
with the southeast
regional card team.

They're conducting
neighborhood
and roadblock canvasses.

We all know what to do.
If this is a stranger
abduction,

We've got fewer than
24 hours to bring
gabby back alive.

Hotch: It's often said
there is no footprint too small

To leave an imprint
on this world.

Garcia, where are
gabby's parents?

Away, but not together.

Mom, kate, is coming back
from a caribbean cruise

With her new boyfriend.

And doug, gabby's bio dad,

Is a long-haul trucker
who is on the road.

And this is where
bad turns to worse.

Dad has a history
of drug problems.

Since gabby's under
5 years old

And her father's
whereabouts are unknown,

Statistics say he's
more likely the offender

He could have been the one who
stalked them and grabbed gabby.

See if any of the neighbors
have seen gabby's father
lurking around.

All right. Got it.

Police radio: A possible
abduction and an amber alert
out on a gabby hoffer...

5 hours and 23 minutes
since gabby was taken.

Witness pulled up
to pump number 2 here,

Saw the van parked there.

Blocked his view
of sue's car.

While someone else
used the sliding door
to grab her.

It'd be smart to use a partner
out in the open like this.

We have 9 registered
sex offenders
within 3 miles.

We have teams going
door to door now.

But it's the ones
we don't know about

Who are
the most dangerous.

Mom and boyfriend rodney
are confirmed off conus.

They'll be
at the p.D. Soon.

We have any location
on the biological father yet?

Still not answering
his cell phone.

It's not pinging
off any towers, either.

So he shut his cell phone off.

That's odd for a trucker.

The dark van could have
just been a transport vehicle

You're thinking he waited
for the opportunity
to take her?

He has motivation given
that he lost custody.

We should check rest stops
for his truck as well.

The problem is interstate
59 is just 3 blocks away,

And it goes to louisiana,
alabama, and georgia.

We've got the borders covered.
Nobody's getting out
of here without a fight.

Agent canning, can you get
video footage for us
from a 5-mile radius?

We need to see if there's
any video of this dark van
coming or going.

Not much hope there.
Katrina took out a lot
of the security

And traffic cams.
They haven't been replaced.

Is sue inside?
We need to talk to her.

An agent drove her home
and is staying with her

She's a wreck. Not sure
you'll get anything new.
Excuse me.

All right. Blake,
you and reid stay
with canning's people.

If gabby was a victim
of opportunity,
then the unsubs

Didn't have a plan
and they could still
be in the area.

Dave and I will go
to the police station

And interview kate
and the boyfriend.

[indistinct chatter]

Is she awake?

Did you find gabby?

No, not yet.

But we could use
your help.

I'm agent jareau.
This is agent morgan.

Mind if we have a seat?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Have a seat.

So, um, when
we handle these ca--

When we handle
these cases,

We start
by eliminating family

And work our way out
from there.

So, do you have
any brothers or sisters?

Kate's the only
family that I got.

She's more like a sister
to me than a cousin.

Her parents took me in
after mine died.

I'm so sorry.
How old were you?

8.

It's all right. We know
this is a tough time.

Did anyone take special interest
in gabby since you've had her?

No. No.

I always had her right
by my side of me...

Except...

I was only gone
like one second.

I got her to sleep
finally and I didn't
want to wake her.

There's nothing you can do
about that now, ok?

You just need to focus
on finding her.

Was there a deliveryman?
A service worker?

No.

A neighbor?

No, nobody.

I don't know,
maybe everybody.

I mean, she's so nice.
She smiles at everybody.

What about her father?
Have you seen him?
Has he contacted you?

No. He's always
on the road.
He never calls.

Did he know that
you were watching gabby?

Ok, sue. Do you know
anyone with a dark van?

I'm sorry. I just
can't even believe this
is happening right now.

Well, you're the best
at finding kids.

You're gonna find gabby,
right?

God, just tell me something,

'cause right now
all I can tell myself

Is I never, ever
should have left her.

I need your help.

Anything.

She's just about the sweetest
little girl you've ever met.

And how long have you
been seeing kate?

Almost a year.

Nearly eloped on that
cruise, but we wanted
gabby there for it.

Has gabby ever wandered
off with anyone?

No.

Kate: A stranger?

No. There's just no way.

I warned her too much
about that.

What about with
someone she knew?

Like who?

Doug? He hasn't seen her
for almost a year.

Oh, god.

Oh, god, you think that man
took my little girl?

Do you know where
doug is right now?

He's on the road,
somewhere.

Oh, god, he did it,
didn't he?

He swore that he
would get back at me
for leaving him

And he's finally done it.

How would you get in touch
with him if it were
an emergency?

One is personal
and one is a company
road one for emergencies.

Garcia, I need you
to track gps on this
cell phone number.

601...

555-0181.

Think maybe she might know
a thing or two

About what goes on
around here?

Mm-hmm.

Kind of late to be
taking the trash out,
isn't it?

They only come once a week
and I don't want
the house stinking.

You here to find gabby?

Yeah. And we could
use your help.

When's the last time
you saw her?

When sue took her
for a ride.

Yeah.
A few hours ago?

I don't sleep
so good anymore.

Any little noise wakes me.

Have you seen
a dark van?

But one came through
the other day.

Think he's a plumber.

Can you remember
the company name?

All right. Thank you.

She's seen a van.

Please tell me she's safe.

Not yet, but we've got
a lead on a dark van.

It could belong to a plumber.

Check local businesses.

Well, that's hardly anything.

Come on, baby girl,
we need an I.D. And
location right now.

Uh, there are 4 plumbers
in the immediate area.

I'm pulling registrations.

Uh, white minivans
are all the rage.

There's the little family
plumber.

They have a bluish van
that's dark.

Run employee
background checks.

Won't be hard.
It's only the owner

And his nephew,
ian little, 25.

He was released last year,
for slinging bennies
and heroin.

Where is he now?

I'm sending you his home
address. There it is.

Hattiesburg p.D.
Got a call about
an abandoned truck.

Found the phone
under the seat.

Just got confirmation.
Truck belongs to doug hoffer,

This is only 5 miles
from the abduction site.

It was smart
to leave it out here.

The property owners
streamed the video

We have the truck
being parked here Sunday.

Did he walk
back into town?

But he was definitely
picked up by a dark minivan.

Tell me you have
a license plate.

Yeah. Just I.D.'d the owner.

Ian little.

What is he doing here?

What the hell happened
to his face?

Yeah. Doug used to
buy drugs from him.

Do you think ian
helped him take gabby?

Claims he hasn't seen gabby
in months

But admits that he
picked up doug on Sunday.

Well, he's smart to admit it,
since we've got his mug

On surveillance cameras.

Those look like second-
and third-degree burns.

He hasn't had proper
medical attention.

Looks infected.

And he left the propane on
while he went back inside
to get matches.

He returned, struck the match,

Oh, that doesn't make sense.
Propane dissipates.

It would take serious flames
to curl around and burn
behind his ears.

Who gets those kind of
burns who doesn't
go to the hospital?

Jj: Someone who has
something to hide.

But ian's cell pinged
off of 3 cell phone towers

Outside of town on Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday.

I sent you the locations.

Cell tower range
and directionality

Can be dramatically
influenced by atmospheric,

Electromagnetic, and traffic
capacity variations.

But ping off of different
towers on different days

Garcia, can you see what's
at this intersection point?

39-30 latitude,

Negative 89-42 longitude.

Uh, that would be
the old little farm.

And that's little,
not like diminutive,

But little family.
That's where ian grew up.

So doug went missing
3 nights ago

And ian's been at that farm
each night since then.

Holy crappy childhood.

It's also the place
where ian's dad
killed his mother

With a shotgun and then
turned it on himself.

I'm agent hotchner.
I don't have any time
to waste,

So I'm going to give you
once chance to answer
my questions.

I know the story about
how you got these burns
is a lie.

These are the kinds
of burns we see

Like when they're trying
to get rid of a body.

Is that what you did?
Yes or no.

I also know exactly
where you spent
the last 3 nights.

You picked up doug
on Sunday

And you let him hide
here, didn't you?

You drove him into town
in your van to try to
abduct his daughter,

And something went wrong
and doug hurt gabby

And you were left
with a dead little girl

And you thought you knew
how to get rid of her.

I want a lawyer.

That's all right.

I have a team searching
the farm right now,

And they will
find the body.

[dogs baying]

[indistinct chatter]

Who the hell is that?

It's our main suspect.

Searched the entire
property.

We found ian's van
in the barn.

Coroner says doug died
from blunt force trauma
to the head.

Then it looks like ian tried
to burn doug's body here,

Which, of course, was harder
than he thought it would be,

So then he dumped doug's
body in the water.

Sounds like rage
followed by just about

Every disposal method
that we know of.

Even wrapped the body,
weighed it down with rocks.

Coroner says doug's been dead
for at least 72 hours.

That would be the same day
he got here.

So what did this guy do
to get himself killed?

Let me make sure
I understand, agent.

You said that gabby
was never there.

But ian killed doug.
He must have had something
to do with taking her.

Let me talk to ian.

I'm sorry, we can't
let you do that.

No, but he will talk to me.

Well, oh, god,
when doug and I
first got together,

We smoked a little weed
with ian,

And I realized that I needed
to quit all that stuff.

You know, I--I wanted
to be a good mom.

I'm just saying that
ian and I go way back,

And he will tell me stuff
that he may not tell you guys.

Him hurting gabby just--
it doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm sorry, but ian
isn't speaking to anyone,

Except maybe a lawyer.

[door opens]

[sobbing] I'm so sorry.

Card team found this
on the interstate.

It looks like gabby's
blanket to me.

Ask your client.

I have no idea.

I advise you
not to waste my time.

Where is gabby?

Where is she?!

I don't know.

I swear.

I'm sorry. I just ran in
for a second.

I would never
leave her like that.

Ok, I understand
this is difficult,

But what I need
you both to do right now

Is focus on finding gabby,

Getting her back
in your arms.

Can you do that?

Ok.

[knocking on glass]

Excuse me.

I've looked through
the whole thing.
Sue's story holds up.

Fast-forward
to sue's arrival
at 10:03 p.M.

Cashier was the only one
inside until then.

Hold on.

Let me rewind.

Right there--is that
sue's shirt?

Hmm. She didn't mention
walking to the door
and then turning around.

How long before
she actually goes in?

Two minutes later.

Maybe she was worried
about leaving gabby
alone in the car.

Well, there were plenty
of places to park

She chose the side.
No windows, no lights.

She told us she didn't
want the lights

Safety comes first.
It's instinctual to find
a quick, well-lit journey

From your parked car
to the door.

It could have been
a trial run.

We see that in
inexperienced criminals

Who need to build up
their nerve.

Wait a minute.
You thinking
she did all of this?

See if there's any
recent contact

Between ian little
and sue walsh.

Scanning slimeball's
cell now.

Not a lot of
repeat numbers.

Trick of the trade,
disposable cells.

Oh, there are dozens
of calls

And I'm gonna cross-check it
with sue walsh's home.

We have a match. Yeah.

They talked. They talked.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Sue, we need
a formal statement.

Would you mind
coming with me.

Oh, of course not.

Did you ever have
any hesitation
leaving gabby with sue?

Well, why would I?

Like a mother's
intuition thing.

Did you ever feel like
there was anything wrong?

Sue didn't have
a problem with it,

And gabby's spent
the night there before.

We're trying to put some
missing pieces together.

Ok.

Do you know ian little?

Kind of. He comes into
the diner a few times a week.

We've got phone records
that show you talk to ian...

A lot.

Please don't tell kate.

I mean, she never would have
let gabby come over

If she knew that
he was coming around.

Why is a smart girl
like you hanging out
with this guy?

He's better now.
He's cleaned up.

And he's different with me.

I'm really good for him.

You lost your parents
when you were young.

Mm-hmm.

What does that have to do
with anything?

Well, maybe it gives you
the attention that you need.

Yeah, I guess so.

You say ian's clean?

Is he still dealing?

No, uh--[clears throat]--

I don't think so.

When why would ian
kill gabby's father?

Uh...I don't know.

Maybe it was an old grudge

Or a bad deal
or something.

Uh-huh.

Ok.

Now...

We need your
full statement.

Ok.

Are you sure you'll
be able to write
with that hand?

Oh. Yeah.

Uh, gabby broke a glass.

Kids.

Uh, what exactly
am I supposed to write?

Just tell us
what happened.

Ok.

We know that ian
picked up doug on Sunday,

What if they surprised sue
at the house?

They could have been trying
to protect gabby from him

Ok, that may be true,
but it still doesn't
answer where gabby is

Or what anyone's motivation
is in hurting her.

We can keep theorizing,
but every minute we do

Is a minute
gabby's out there.

Dave.

We want the truth
from your client.

What are you offering?

That depends on whether
he fully cooperates.

My client did not kill
doug hoffer.

Prove it, and the ausa
has agreed to plead him

From murder to accessory
after the fact.

He knows who did it.

That's hearsay,
it's not proof.

She cut her hand
when she hit him
with that candleholder.

They were arguing
by the front door.

She's my daughter,
and I am going to see her.

Ian: Doug went in to go
get gabby out of bed.

Sue picks up
this candleholder

And hit him really hard
with it.

Uhh!

It sounded really bad.

It was heavy glass
and it broke
when she hit him again.

Her blood was all over.

Guys, over here.

Ian: So was doug's.

She hid it in a shoebox
in the closet.

Why would she keep
the murder weapon?

She thinks she's too smart
to get caught.

Are you all right?

Did you find gabby?

What do you think?

Are we gonna find her?

Kate trusted you
with the care of her child.

You were responsible
for this little girl.

You had a duty
to protect her,

And you failed,

Miserably.

What happened to gabby
is all your fault.

You know nothing
about what it takes
to be a mother.

You're pathetic.

Aah! You son of a bitch!

I'll kill you!

Get off me!

Get off me! No!

No! Get off me!

Talk about taking one
for the team.

If she's a predisposed
female offender,

A major indicator
is uncontrolled rage
when challenged.

I'd say she passed the test.

She has no criminal record,
no history of violence.

They're very good
at concealment.

They're also
the rarest type.

The go after young
children in their care,

And their offenses
can be sadistic,

Brutal,
sometimes bizarre.

The blunt force trauma
that killed doug

Says that she has
serious violence issues.

Whatever it was, I'm afraid
of what that means for gabby.

I know sue is not
gonna talk to us,

But maybe
she would talk to kate.

She did that to you
and you want kate
going in there?

Rodney, I've got to
go talk to her.

She's restrained.
I will be at the door.

There's nothing she can do
physically to hurt her.

What is wrong with you?

You still don't get it,
do you?

I trusted you.

And I trusted you.

What are you talking about?

When I moved into
your perfect little house,

Your perfect little street,

Everybody told me
that I lucked out,

That I got myself
a good family.

Well, I had a good family.
I didn't want yours.

What happened to
your family wasn't fair,

But why would you
take that out on gabby?

At first I thought
that it wasn't only me
that he touched.

What are you talking about?

Where is gabby?

Gabby's gone.

Now you know how
I used to feel.

Like there's no air left.

For a really long time,
I thought

That's just how things worked
in your family.

'cause your dad liked me
to sit on his lap,

Till it got more than that.

I used to stay up
late at night

To see if he opened
your door, too.

But he didn't.

He always did say that
I was his special little girl.

That's not true.

My dad
never touched you.

He used to put me
on the floor
'cause it was quieter.

When he was done,
I'd put the lightbug on
and I'd go under the bed.

That's where I sleep,
but not you.

You got all the good
memories.

You're insane.

Maybe I am.

What does that make you?

You left your kid
for 5 days.

All I know is that
I will never

Let mine out of my sight.

[laughs]

She'll be here
in the summertime.

She mixed her past
and present tenses,

Which shows
unconscious deception.

Oh, god, she never
mentioned gabby.

And she said my dad--
oh, god.

Don't let her get to you.
Your dad's a good man.

We all know she's lying.

She's never going to tell us
where gabby is.

You got her to reveal
more than you know.

Kate's right.
Sue's never gonna
tell us where gabby is.

It's her final move
to punish kate.

She wants to inflict
maximum pain upon kate.

So you're thinking
she'll do
whatever it takes

To make kate suffer
and keep on suffering.

Not knowing what happened
to your child

Would be the ultimate
torture for any parent.

But if sue killed gabby,
chances are eventually

She'd need to find a way
to get rid of her permanently,

Without killing her.

Nothing's out of place.
In fact, all of gabby's
things are packed up

As if she was preparing
to go back home.

That's strong evidence
of a false allegation.

So all of this was arranged
by sue for what,

To get back at kate?

You should have seen her
with kate.

And there's not electronic
trail either. There's
no computer or cell phone.

Outside of a land line,
this girl's living tech-free.

That's because
she's hiding something.

Yeah. I agree.

Thanks.

I'm going to call garcia.

For somebody to live
completely offline
these days?

Sure, if you live
in an afghani cave

Or certain parts
of new jersey.

We can't even find
an internet connection

What, so she's like
old school? Snail mail?
Cash transactions?

Yeah, but somehow
she had to connect

With whoever
actually grabbed gabby.

A girl like that's
gotta go online somewhere.

Well, she doesn't
have much money. She'd
have to do it cheap.

Well--ok, I started
my illustrious career

On the web
at the library,

Because the computers
and the internet are free.

She could have done that
using pseudonyms
and anonymizers.

I--I know all this, but I'm
gonna need some help if I want
to narrow it down quickly.

Maybe she got something
out of sue's written statement.

Good. Yes, and thank you.
I'm on the trail.

Blake, I need
your word wisdom

To help me track sue's
online activity.

Well, the only thing
that stuck out

Was her use of lightbug
instead of lightbulb.

I heard her say it to kate
and noticed it
in her statement, too.

"I'll switch the lightbug off
in the car so no one will see."

Where did you find that?

Backtracking now...

Oh, no.

It's an online forum

Discussing a troubled
4-year-old girl.

Any identifying information
on who she's talking to?

Give me a minute.
Give me a minute.

No, oh, no.
This is gonna be
a dead end.

Libraries that don't want feds

Tracking what their patrons
are reading

They erase their servers
at the end of the night.

Can you recover the files?

If it were done,

T'were well
it were done quickly.

Ok, it's still early.

Maybe they haven't
written over the files yet.

Yes! Ok, I've got
an ip address fragment and...

Gabby's not the only baby
on that forum

Garcia, I need
to know everything
that you can find

About anyone
communicating with sue.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm good.

Oh, my god.
Oh, no, no, no.

Sue gave gabby away.

Who has her, garcia?

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

Ok. I don't know,
but I'm gonna send you

Read this,
and I'm gonna find out who.
I'm gonna find out who.

That's what the people
involved are calling it.

And it's been happening
underground
for some time now.

Until now, it's mainly been
overwhelmed adoptive parents

Good people
go on the site looking
for guidance or services,

But bad people offer
to take problem kids
off their hands

So they just give them away
to some random couple?

The article talks about
these people who pose
as families,

But really, they're
just freaks looking for
access to kids.

And no one's keeping track
of them.

And unsurprisingly,
no legislation's
been written yet.

She posed as gabby's mother
and gave her to a woman

Who claimed she knew
how to deal
with troubled kids.

I want my mommy.

Hush, carly.

My name is gabby.

If you cry,
bad things will happen.

Ok. There are 3 families
who responded
to sue's post.

Do any of them
own a dark van?

There's a nicole jones.

She owns a blue '03 caravan.

She lives in a shack
20 miles south

Of where you are
off of interstate 59.

Let's go.

[puppies whimpering]

Clear!

Clear!

Guys!

D-don't shoot me.

Reid: Where's gabby hoffer?

She's gone.

She's still not talking.

She must have panicked
and gotten rid of gabby.

Garcia, who else
from the area
answered sue's post?

Uh...There's one woman,
michelle fader.

She ran in the same
sick circles.

And she owns an old van.

This fader's a real winner.

They probably won't risk
going back towards
the abduction site,

Which means they're
headed southwest.

Let's go.

Ok. The woman I hope
you're about to arrest

Had all of her biological kids
taken from her 5 years ago

Because another child died
while in her custody.

Jj: She was never charged?

Oh, no, she was,
but for neglect.

She didn't spend
a minute in jail.

Social workers haven't
come by her house at all

And they have no idea
she's been finding
new children online.

Those poor little darlings
are being treated like trash.

They don't know
that anybody cares.
We care. We care.

Garcia, widen your search
to any know male associates
of michelle fader.

Yeah, will do.

Ohh. I got a picture
of fader with some guy

He's got his arm
all possessively around
this sweet little girl.

Run facial recognition
software and get
an I.D. On him.

Ok, I got a match.
Michael feehan.

He's not in any registries,
but he has got a list
of accusations.

None of them were proven
because all of the victims
were too young.

Garcia, did you get
the address?

Running it now.

Please, give me a reason.

Michelle fader, you're
under arrest for staging
a child abduction.

I didn't do nothin'.
Look, I was trying
to help that girl.

You have the right
to remain silent.

I am only trying
to help that girl.

She couldn't take care
of her own babies anymore.

You have a right
to an attorney...

I am trying to help
that girl!

What's gonna happen
to my babies?

And there are other kids
back here.

Are you ok?

Can you take me home now?

Yes, sweetheart.

Ok, come on.

Up you go.

Mama!

Oh, my sweet baby!

Ohh!

I missed you, mama.

I missed you so much.

Why are you sad?

I'm not sad.

So those are
happy tears?

Yep.

Kate: We're never, ever
gonna leave you.

Jj...You ok?

They don't have
anyplace safe to be.

It's not ideal, but
they'll be in foster care

Until
they find a family.

Yeah, but how many more kids
like that are out there?

That's a good question.

Thought you might
want to see something.

Mmm, mmm, we're gonna go
home now and you can...

Have a good meal.

Oh, ho ho ho.
I needed that.

Jj: "a mother's arms
are made of tenderness,

And children sleep
soundly in them."
