Not that you could, anyway.

Here.

Put that on.

We're gonna go outside and...

I don't want

the baby to catch a cold.

Think, dammit, think.

[rapid breathing]

Where are you? Where are you?

[line ringing]

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

[Officer Lee on voicemail]

Hello.

You've reached

Officer Diane Lee.

Please leave me a message

after the tone

and I'll respond

as soon as possible.

If this is an emergency,

dial 911.

Officer Lee, this is Rachel,

the crazy pregnant lady.

You told me to call you.

I'm, I'm trapped in my house.

- Sandy, my neighbor's...

- What are you doing?

Funny thing about

these new monitors...

you can watch the video feed

from anywhere,

even your neighbor's house.

- Downstairs.

- Okay.

- Now.

- Okay.

Patricia's not

feeling so well.

What did you do to her?

Your motherly instincts

are quite good, you know?

Yvonne, the nanny...

neither one of them

cared for that child.

But I would have.

You killed the nanny.

No, I told you, she ran away.

Which is a shame, because

she was terrible at her job.

Always on the phone at the park,

never paying attention.

I could have given

that baby a good home.

I could have had that baby.

They certainly didn't want it.

But you had to

go play nosey neighbor,

and mess it all up.

But, but you already

have a baby. I saw you.

Yes, but I should have

had twins.

Because of you...

I still need one more.

Just act like

everything is normal.

Smile to your friendly neighbor.

You've made this way

too easy for me.

[baby crying]

It sounds like someone's crying

for their mommy.

[baby continues crying]

Where are you going?

The nursery.

I had to move the nursery

once you found it.

In case the cops came looking.

Downstairs.

[baby continues crying]

Go on.

Open it.

[baby continues crying]

[baby cooing]

Don't you just love that poster?

You lost your baby?

Babies.

Twins.

My little girls.

He left me, you know?

He said it was my fault.

But now...

Now I can go back to him.

And we can all

be together again.

My happy little family.

I, uh...

I know how much you wanted

to have a baby, but...

But what?

But you can't have mine.

[grunts]

Shh, shh, shh.

[faintly] It's okay.

[screams] Rachel!

[baby crying]

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay

[shushing]

[baby crying]

Come on.

Come on. [gasps]

[grunts]

Rachel!

My water just broke.

Ah!

[Sandy] I don't know

what you're so afraid of.

You said it yourself...

I'd be a great mom.

[Rachel screaming]

[grunts]

Help!

Someone help me!

Oh, honey.

Let's get this baby out of you.

[grunts]

[baby crying]

[Rachel screaming]

You don't look so good.

[breathing heavily] Plea...

Please don't hurt my baby.

Your baby is gonna be just fine.

But I'm afraid mommy might not

survive the procedure.

[groaning]

Now, generally C-sections

require anesthesia.

But in emergency cases

like this...

I just had to save the baby.

- [gunshot]

- [thuds]

This is Officer Lee. I need an

ambulance on site immediately.

Suspect is down, pregnant woman

is injured and in active labor.

[baby crying]

I think, I think

it's the baby from the news.

Oh, my...

You were right. You were right.

You're gonna be okay.

Rachel, just hang in there.

You're gonna be all right.

[grunts]

[Sandy] I don't get you people.

You have a nice house,

a good husband,

and a baby on the way.

All you do is complain,

complain, complain.

Wh... Why? Why are you doing

this?

You don't care about that baby.

If you cared about her,

you would be at home in bed.

I cared about my babies.

My little girls.

They were right there...

and then they weren't.

But now... now we're all gonna

be reunited again.

[screams]

You're gonna have this baby

whether you like it or not.

- [gunshot]

- [thuds]

Good to see you awake.

And good to see you

doing so well.

Both of you.

You have a healthy baby girl.

You are very lucky.

- Can I hold her?

- Of course.

[doctor] Yeah.

Look how sweet...

From the family of

the little baby girl you found.

They'd like to come in

and thank you, but I told them

after you recover a little bit.

Thank you.

I'll let you two be.

You're awake.

I'm so sorry

I didn't trust you.

Officer Lee told us everything.

Is she okay?

Healing, but, yeah, she's okay.

Thanks to you.

You were right about Sandy.

About everything.

You saved that little girl.

And ours.

I'm so sorry...

about everything.

Will you ever forgive me?

Maybe.

Well, don't forget

that I had a severe concussion.

I believe the doctor said

it was a minor concussion,

but I'm very glad

you're okay, Mom.

Me too.

Well, I'm-I'm just saying

that we were all

affected by the situation.

If you don't mind, Mom,

I think Rachel, Alice and I

could use a little quiet time.

Yeah, of course, um...

It's, uh...

grandma time, later.

Definitely.

[Alice coos]

Thank you, Mom.

[Rachel] What'd I tell you?

She's perfect.

I hope you realize

we're selling the house

and moving back to the city.

[both chuckling]

Whatever my ladies want.
