really believed that this child is

better off with strangers when I move

family here you could still

my mother is dying I must return to care

for my younger brothers IRA still needs

to do the family announcer yes she does

when they can give her the dream that I

had for both of us I'm sorry I still

don't see how you could give up your own

child before I was a mother I couldn't

lock the vendors

[Music]

what kind of 21 year old gets a heart

attack and sleep no idea the sister said

it was just starting to kick some butt

in the local bike rest let's pull over

why is it the stuff like that happens

now because somebody up there my friend

has a very sick sense of humor no

offense

PB 7 in pursuit of a sense of 211

suspect it's cutting into mail and

rollers

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

give it up you just going around in

circles hey

oh my god somebody stop this thing he's

an arrest swamp eb-5 requesting an

ambulance on the carousel a to hear cool

blue suffered so many CPR what do you

mean he didn't bring her in she doesn't

want the child back what would be the

point the point officer McNamara she's

involved in a crime if you need to

remind you it's illegal to Stella Chow

totally she doesn't care about the money

all she cared about is what was best for

the baby so she said I'm sorry

lieutenant from now on she doesn't do

this investigation without you

understood yes understood yes sir go

back to an arrest martun Gutierrez ok ok

have a look at this what is it that's

the VeloNews and the only people enough

guts to talk about what's going on in

European cycling and now here on our

turf these are bike racers to see their

horses what's the connection cyclists

aren't the only athletes benefiting from

Richard blood the DEA has been trying to

build a case against EPO use of the

tractor but because of the money

involved no one will step forward if you

have varied a new drug actually it's an

old hormone erythropoietin subscribe 48

patients anemic tox screens don't work

because then all of our systems however

notes we killed Nathan Stuart my roller

hockey player high hematocrit red blood

cell levels wouldn't it be a good thing

sure until your blood guys to take the

heart couldn't pump it anymore like once

your blood pressure dropped while you

were say napping in the interrogation

room or if your heart was just plain

exhausted after being pursued by a

couple cops on bikes so you're saying

these kids are injecting the same stuff

since they pump into thoroughbreds what

I'm saying is if we don't find out where

it's coming from we're gonna have a lot

of jocks sleeping through more than just

their alarm clocks

[Music]

good news not from Marta Leila said

she'd have 4 p.m. flight to El Salvador

[Music]

looking very good joke you're like i'm

freaking kid yourself well you know

about the CPL who marseille killed Danny

Danny yeah woman and he was flying so

fast I was admiring him the next was all

your stuff but i'll find out with the

stuffs cover from joanne he won't be the

last life is a vicious cycle CC thanks

hey where'd you get that ring hi listen

look just help him yet don't what bad

you're playing mommy and I can't What's

Wrong me back so you didn't tell them

Tim's and deep secret there's nothing to

do with this except that you're in love

with them you know when I became snow

anal right after my mother died that's

when I realized I had absolutely no

control over anything that matters so

you try to control everything else but

you can't I can really count on is

what's right in front of you Corey I

don't know what that means that means by

now I thought I'd have a husband and a

child instead of you and a pint of

haagen-dazs some people would say you're

lucky okay what are you gonna do you

know try and get on schedule by keeping

some babies on at a crime scene Oh Cory

come on I got to be back at the house

I've got a couple wildlife we

[Music]

max you spare a penny on this she must

ride like the wind only lately I've been

having a hard time keeping up with her

sort of lost my edge heard you guys get

let me get that back are you talking

about I moved up here a month ago San

Diego had this guy down there he was

mailing me certain supplements really

good for the blood kind of stuff a

couple of weeks ago he takes off to go

race in Europe totally bones me man you

know what I mean I can't help you let me

Donny the manager maybe he can help ya

right on thanks can I do for it what

would you say if I told you I was

willing to trade my rich bank account

for rich blood and a shelf like that in

my living room I'd say it musta lost my

ability to read between the lines

because I have no idea what the hell

you're talking approach let's say you're

full of crap okay let's tell me what the

real problem is the problem is there are

two things in life I'm deadly serious

about that's me and me racing my bike

now maybe the kid doesn't actually know

about the liquid lightning business

you're running out of here but I'm

talking to the boss now right that's

right well then I promise you right now

you give me what I need and you'd be

begging me to wear your jersey look but

i'm a firm believer in the customer

comes first rule but you don't see what

you're looking for that I guess we don't

carry it if you're saying I was

misinformed by the local writers well

then by all means I apologize that's

what I'm saying

[Music]

what do you want do you see that yeah

them in a million others out here just

like them amen what dude we live

anywhere else I'm guessing you're not

from here Massachusetts got tired of

trying to train the snow besides the

parents run exactly supportive of my

cycling habit you can see a real future

in it now so I say again what do you

want good this isn't about what I want

[Music]

by the quarry little martyr that's

happened but we may have look at it is

brokering baby sale Martha's phone

records showed several calls to a Joseph

mediana a corporate big shot at a

century city those hands a lot of things

they can only picture you to his

mother's because somebody has to go in

internal instincts gushing looking to

make a Buy I'll do it I don't think it's

a good idea corn those parasites making

money off of other people's tragedies I

promise I won't compromise the

investigation again lieutenant the one

of these people won't sell the single

mothers it's not a problem as long as

they'll buy it from one

[Music]

miss Marshall come in have a seat thank

you so this urgent problem you mentioned

on the phone isn't it obvious it's

obvious was your budget at the joyous

event mr. Mariano I heard that I could

trust you and let me reassure you

everything you saying here is completely

confidential when I dreamed about having

a baby that dream also included a

husband's house with the yard I don't

know why I thought I was any better than

any other woman ended up like this but

what I am is a single grad student with

a future full of debt in a tiny part

Marshall you're clearly very upset but

I'm still not sure what it is you need

for me this isn't about what I need it's

about what my child needs and what I

heard that you can get it home with two

parents they don't have to be Richard

cultured they just don't love it like

the most important thing in their lives

the way that I wish I could please don't

misunderstand me I sympathize with your

dilemma but if I'm correct what you're

suggesting is a criminal activity

mr. Mariano any one of your pretentious

knickknacks to support this child for

months still you can't see how desperate

I am miss Marshall I've never seen

anyone who wasn't desperate sitting

across from my desk fine I'm sure I can

find somebody that will be happy to make

a finder's fee out my child's life I

know this is breaking your heart so if I

can find someone who can help you I'll

send them your way

[Applause]

[Music]

like you drop some weight obviously not

all of it so who is this guy an attorney

or a legal baby Brooklyn neither he's an

opportunist you know Helen I had to try

for a while before Jesse was conceived

turnout was just bad luck but you start

to think did you lived about having

children I don't know but helen had this

whole timetable plan out in her head the

first child in a second of course that

was assuming till death it was fun I was

imagined watching a kid grow up you know

part of yourself be so amazing and try

imagining your kid at home waiting for

dinner while you're serious I'm purpose

drawn down on you I better get home in

case nutty on a call all right you know

how this is going to change the way you

do your job when your oldest child has

in the world I'll tell you how your new

from behind a desk another way you're

gonna get custody and that's not going

to be a condition of the department's

gonna be the state I'm just trying to

keep Marisol for becoming one of a

million other kids at social services

and so what until she's adopted if

you're not gonna be honest with me at

least you're honest with yourself I want

you to take a personal day think about

what you're really doing here

[Music]

hey

I forgotten what great cross training

this to be only blending I've done the

last years with no girlfriend you know

how that goes five minutes to she's got

a blister 10 minutes later she's got to

go to the back 15 minutes later with the

dike okay I bet you she was hot

Donny Donny don't do this Johnny Johnny

you would drop you anywhere specific

luminance neighbors report a possible

assault and carbon Somali behind 2567 to

ocean

the lady spyce fault for trusting you

boys with so much responsibility I mean

after all if you're dumb enough to think

that the meaning of life live behind

some finish line you couldn't possibly

understand that in order to succeed a

business has to have a profit god enough

looks pretty bad and if I don't push the

product to the consumers because you're

doing all this consuming yourself well

guess what happens to profit all right

colon Angeles Cody try to kill him the

hell do you think you are huh just want

bb5 we need an ambulance in the alley

behind 2567 oceanfront one who did this

to you was a white guy missed kind of

tall I only got a look at his back

that's the way it happened officers he

took off running when we came out here

get over here

you

[Music]

can you see her she's still sitting in

her car she look well as nervous as we

do okay look Mikey know if this one

doesn't work out and this is going to be

you and me like always and that is going

to beat you so in the dormitory hi I'm

on in I'm Rita and this is my husband

Mike hi good wow you have a beautiful

home here thank you as you can see Reid

is one of four and well I'm gonna find

that made especially hard for you good

until I stopped blaming myself and

hating my body I'm sorry don't be when

we first tried to conceive we never

dreamed we would end up here and we were

both married young to other people

college sweethearts so when we tried to

go through the usual adoption process

well that became a major stumbling block

it seems like a high penalty for a

youthful mistake is that what this was

Rita it's okay and we were in love but

knowing it wasn't planned I'm having

enough trouble with my own life I don't

want to ruin another one well maybe if

they all help each other will end up

with a life you've always wanted

or the life I wanted for my little girl

did I say something wrong

[Music]

now we would have repeated it blue if

you were having a boy but well you can

see their hopes were Gloria I normally

don't believe in fate but I feel I know

that this is the right home for your

baby and I hope you do too uh last week

we thought of the name Marissa more

stuff you have to wait a couple days the

hell you doing math what are you doing

set your alarm every hour get enough to

do some jumping jacks some push-ups a

little of this whatever it takes to get

that blood pressure back up before your

heart gives out on you where the hell do

you get off you're just like me trying

to do whatever you can to get an edge no

I'm not just like you if I win I want to

win because I'm good enough me Cody not

some crap you get out of a bottle I know

you're scared man you trippin man you

know that

Cody a macabre no sobbing man you acted

like my friend I was acting like your

friend I'd let you keep killing yourself

easy Cody get up here trust me man it's

not worth tell that to someone who stood

on the winner's podium no why don't you

tell that to Nathan Stewart or his

family I just wanted to be good at

something and I just wanted to be a

professional surfer When I was your age

but guess what he didn't happen give it

time Cody you'll find the right thing

and if you don't it'll find you Your

Story one morning you woke up and

decided I'm gonna go out and take down

some bad guys sort of but truthfully I

was kind of hoping to help some good

ones like you're helping me out right

well man get me with Donnie I'll help

you kick the EPO and what if I don't I

don't think you're that stupid maybe I

am maybe you just need a good night's

sleep

[Music]

okay oh yeah sure till Donnie makes

Palin comes to kill me you played your

part believably that won't happen and

it's going to destroy my mom and dad if

I go to jail they think they screwed up

enough means it is after this baby bus

goes down the DA's office gone almost a

favor right given that I say there's a

good chance you get a suspended sentence

plus a hell of a lot of community

service Thanks you mean like teaching

kids about the evils of drugs and how

they should have messed with their body

stuff like that exactly

[Music]

[Music]

tight what he's done come on yeah let me

see 500 yeah dollar thing

[Music]

[Music]

yeah don't give me five on raising a

ruckus to win in the fifth yeah yeah

thanks

and you look like hell Cody boy and I

liked you feeling a little heavy I get

much sleep last night and now to do the

horses when the legs go bad don't you

hey how's it going you know I never got

to thank you for your support the other

day I sent down on you I really need to

talk to you I can't do is distribute

anything warm I'm sorry I just I guess I

can't handle pressure I guess you won't

be able to handle the stress reason for

our club either come on that's not fair

man I'm good and you know it but without

my product you just another wannabe

cruising the Strand smiles will go back

to mommy and daddy tell me if bale just

like they knew you would a make on let

him go huh go on get the hell out of

here I don't want the little water

around anyway told you about my

proposition I never get your name my

friend to see Williams and hold the

handshake until you guarantee to pay me

ten percent of the supply that I sell

for you down in San Diego plus free

supply my own for taking over to codys

turf I'll tell you what make it five

percent and if your references check out

you go yourself a deal if you can

guarantee me that your supplier will

remain bountiful

wait for my signal you know anything

about horse racing TC yeah it's where a

bunch of big beautiful animals have to

run really fast or else the little guys

riding on their back start cracking the

whip make it sound so romantic and ten

years ago when I was grooming the ponies

in Marsden Park I thought it was too but

you know what I learned no thoroughbred

will ever run fast enough for a greedy

man until you give a little injection

under the skin I mean my veterinary

friends realized over Marsden the only

difference between an athlete and a

horse if an athlete is dumb enough to

abuse his body voluntarily so do we have

a deal if you can front me some supply

until next week what would you say if I

said this one's on the house I say

you're under arrest replay

keep it on file

[Music]

it was in a trophy you know it's just

way too symbolic

[Music]

call for an ambulance this is 155

requesting an ambulance in front of

vicious cycle maybe we should just call

he's probably stuck in traffic and

besides this gives us a chance to talk

about Rita and I know I'm sorry I just

think that maybe we should make you to

stream idiotic is here Cory we just want

you to know that whatever your expenses

will be happy to pay them

[Music]

[Music]

sorry I'm late oh boy I hope you feel as

good about the decision you've made as

we all do yes um I know that this is

probably the right thing to do Corey if

you have any doubts please we just want

you to be happy about this if there's

anything you want to ask us no I I know

all I need to all that matters is that

you're gonna love my baby and I know

that you will which is which is why I

can't do this I'm sorry all right wait

will give you whatever you want you

don't understand but believe me please I

just I can't do this to you I'm sorry I

I can't do this to them

[Music]

we got nothing madiha no not the grass

we lost the whole bus the grass joke

belong in prison lieutenant the only

real difference between what they were

doing and normal adopted procedure is

that besides my expenses they had to pay

money on his feet Cory that speak me the

down payment on a house the Kennedy if

Jesse had cancer and your insurance

wouldn't provide medical but you could

get it for wouldn't you do it they had

no choice regardless of your analogy all

these people are breaking the law or

doesn't that matter to you initiative

quite a cop winter with it these people

would never be able to dodge a child and

that only would ever had been to him it

would be unfair to the childhood I think

again wonderful boy the person good nuff

what was that

[Music]

you

[Music]

anybody

thank you little girl

Cory a social services call they said

you can keep Marisol for another

half-hour to them why they can't do

correct they just thought you might want

to spend some more time with her since

this would be your last lunch time again

and left the grants invent your own hey

got her apparently your recommendations

were given a lot of weight and tomorrow

the grants become marysville foster

parents they can begin the adoption

process you mean it's movie night your

been another mommy and daddy just like a

father yes Cory I never told you this

but I think you've done a really great

thing here a really really great thing

thank you
