Jessica was one of Vanessa's

foster mothers

and Marjory was a neighbour

of another one.

Good day to you

Mrs. Stewart.

[knocking]

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Maddie, I just spoke

to your mom.

Oh.

Mom!

He looks so much like Chris.

Kale had such

a bright future.

Vanessa stole it.

Played mind games with him,

purposely made him jealous,

told people Kale had done

things he hadn't.

I begged Kale to end

the relationship

but Vanessa always managed

to convince him

that I didn't understand her.

Or made him feel guilty

because she didn't

have a mother.

Kale started doing drugs

with Vanessa.

He could barely remember

his name some days.

Coroner said he was full of PCP

when he hung himself.

This ring...

this ring that Kale's wearing.

Vanessa gave it to Kale

when he turned sixteen.

She said it was her father's.

He didn't have it when he

was buried?

No, he wasn't wearing it

when they found him.

How could you know that?

Because Vanessa gave Chris

the same ring.

Donald Mojan gave me

your name.

I listened to your message,

I can't talk to you.

Marjory, it's important.

Anything you can tell me...

I didn't know her,

it was my son.

Maybe I could talk

to your son.

Randy killed himself

two years ago.

He overdosed on angel dust.

Did Vanessa ever give

Randy a ring?

I can't talk about Randy.

I have to go.

Did Vanessa ever give Randy a

silver ring with a red stone?

A silver wedding band

with a red stone.

Yes.

Answer your phone Chris,

please sweetheart.

Answer the phone!

Please, you have to send a car

immediately to my house.

1381 Blueridge road.

My son is in terrible

danger.

Please, do you hear me?

Blueridge road.

Is my son all right?

Nobody answered the phone

or the door.

I checked the perimeter,

there's no sign of a break-in.

I can do a walk through

to be safe.

Chris?

Chris?

Ma'am, I should go first.

Chris, you here?

We're too late.

[siren wailing]

She drugs them with PCP,

they don't know what

they're doing.

We just need to establish how

long Chris has been gone.

It would've been after 2,

2:
30.

That's when I left for lunch.

Up to three hours ago...

It's okay, we don't know

if they left right away.

Do you know where they

would've gone?

Um... Vanessa works

at a pet store.

It's called Groom n' Board,

it's on East Brighton.

I'll come with you.

No, Officer Brooks

will stay with you.

But I know exactly

where it is.

Trust me, they may

come back.

I can't be too long, okay?

An hour, tops.

Hey, look at all this stuff

I got for our picnic.

Is something wrong?

I forgot our sandwiches

and cookies...

Ugh!

Sounded like life or death.

I'm not too hungry anyway.

I came here to see you,

not a sandwich.

Okay... Cherry soda?

Alcohol-free.

Vanessa...

I get why you did

all that stuff.

All the kids calling

and emailing...

Jake.

I know I deserved it.

I can't ever drink again.

Let's just find a nice place to

sit down and drink this, okay?

Okay.

Come on, Chris.

Take a taxi... Take a taxi.

The cab company.

Hi, this is Madeleine Stewart

at 1381 Blueridge Road.

Um... you picked

up my son today,

I need to know where

you took him.

It would've been

about 2:
30 or later,

he was on crutches.

Please, my son is

in grave danger!

Whitefall Park?

Whitefall Park!

Oh God... Chris.

Officer Brooks?

Officer Brooks?

Lynn!

Okay, look... just

call the police

and get a hold of

Officer Jan Tate.

I can't tell you

just please do it!

Just tell her that Maddie's on

her way to Whitefall park.

You're empty again.

It'd be cool to fly, huh?

Mmm hmm.

I could do it.

Look how high he is.

Look at him.

He's above the trees.

Fly bird... Fly...

Fly bird...

Look at him.

I think I know how

you can prove your love.

If you love me you have

to understand me.

This is what I do.

Here, try it.

Come on, take it.

Come on.

Doesn't that feel good?

It doesn't feel like anything.

Do it again, baby.

Come on.

[Laughing]

Hold on.

I have to tape this.

Oh my God.

Oh, you're doing

so good babe.

I can't believe

it doesn't hurt.

You're doing so good.

Now do you believe

I love you?

You're all the same.

I have to go now.

But someone's

gonna find you.

Now you won't be able

to hurt anybody else.

Get away from my son!

Get away!

Chris, Chris!!!!!!!!

The police are

on their way honey!!!!!!

The police are on their way!!!

Leave him alone!

Oh my God!

I gotta stop the blood.

I'm here, Mommy's here.

You're gonna be fine.

You are not gonna die!

Oh God!

No, wake up!

Chris, wake up!

Leave him alone!

You're ruining him.

Get away from my son!

Leave him alone,

let him die!

Just let him be.

B*tch!

Maddie.

I could kill you!!!!!

No! No!!!!

Chris!

It's okay.

It's okay.

[siren wailing]

It's okay. it's okay.

[sobbing]

Oh my God, Chris!

Chris!

Not getting a pulse.

On the count of three,

One...two... three!

Are we get anything?

We got signs.

[sobbing]

It's okay.

It's okay, he made it.

Oh my God.

Yeah, we were actually just

talking about it yesterday.

He said I could bring Matt

and Cameron if I wanted to.

Hmm... Are you gonna go?

No, but you'll

have fun.

I love you.

I love you.

Lunch time.

Not hungry today, Vanessa?

Oh... Sorry about that.

Why don't you take a break,

Mark?

You probably spilled that juice

because you're working

too hard.

Maybe for a minute.

Is that you?

Yeah.

Me and my mommy...

and daddy.

When Daddy was sweet.

Your life's blood flows

through my veins,

for all time we

will remain...

Like a vice that

cannot bend,

you and I until the end.

Love me till you die, my

love never leave my side.

I'll love you till I die,

my love.
