Abducted: The Carlina White Story Page #2

---

Did you speak

to anyone privately?

- No.

- Yes, that nurse, remember?

- Yeah, she told me,

"The baby don't cry for you.

"You cry for the baby. "

That lady was trying

to get me to leave!

- Did you get her name?

- She wasn't wearing a tag.

- Can you describe her?

- She was black...

- Around my complexion...

- O-older...

...heavy-set...

Like she just had a baby...

Or just lost one.

We have reason to believe

that this woman is involved

in the kidnapping

of Carlina White.

The city of New York

has posted a 10,000 reward

for any tip leading

to the baby's return.

This is the first time

in the history of this city

that a child's been

taken from the hospital.

Sir, another comment?

I want my baby back.

She didn't have

to do that to me.

I was carrying her

for nine months.

She didn't have to take her

from me.

I think the lady's just scared

because she thinks we're

gonna press charges,

but I just want to tell her,

"I won't press charges

against you.

Just bring our daughter back. "

- Ohh, hiiii!

- Hey!

I need a picture!

Eh... stop... awww!

- Hey!

- Hi!

- Okay, be careful now.

- Okay.

- Be careful.

- Okay.

She been a little sick.

I got you.

- Hi!

- That's my girl!

- Hey, baby!

- What's your name, baby?

Say, "My name's Nejdra Nance. "

- "My name Nejdra Nance. "

- Where's your daddy, Nejdra?

"My daddy's

out working today. "

Dealing drugs ain't working.

You look like a Netty

I'm-a call you Netty

You hear that, Netty?

I'm your Auntie Cassandra.

I'm gonna get the bottle.

Excuse me, miss, my daughter's

been kidnapped.

If you could give me

a call if you see her...

Excuse me, sir,

my daughter's been...

Excuse me, sir...

Hey.

I spoke to my boss.

I'm gonna get that raise

so we can start looking

for our own place.

Don't bother.

- They're never gonna find her.

- Yes, they will.

Carl, just stop.

Why are you

so mad at me?

Joy, no one could have known

this would happen.

It was late, a shift change,

the cameras not working...

it was like a perfect storm!

I keep thinking

about that night...

that... nurse,

all those things she said to me.

She... I called a lawyer today.

Somebody's gotta pay for this.

Somebody's gotta pay.

When's her birthday?

July 31.

Why did it take you three

weeks to bring her around?

They kept us

in the hospital...

- ...for a little while.

- And you didn't call nobody?

I didn't want to bother folks.

I ain't "folks"...

I'm your sister.

Okay. I started

having contractions.

I didn't want to take

no chances,

so I went

straight to the hospital.

I didn't want no problems.

I got there.

They didn't think she

was gonna make it.

But she did.

You're my little

miracle baby, Nejdra.

You're my little miracle baby.

It's been nearly a year

that 19-day-old Carlina White

was snatched

from a Harlem hospital.

Parents have filed

a 100 million lawsuit

against the city

that charges lax security

and shoddy hiring practices.

Carlina's life is priceless.

No settlement in the world

could ever measure up

to having my daughter back.

I can't believe the police

haven't found my daughter yet.

In the beginning,

there were helicopters

and police officers everywhere,

but it all died down

rather fast.

Detective Dalton?

- I need some good news.

- We're working on it.

You said you'd find her.

Look, there was a woman.

Someone saw her at the hospital,

then on the train with a baby.

- We're checking...

- If Carlina was a white girl,

you'd have found her by now.

- You really believe that?

At least she'd still

be in the papers.

- What do you want me to say?

- I want you to keep your word.

Find my daughter.

And that's 43.96.

Cleanup in aisle 2.

- Cleanup in aisle 2.

- Here you go.

Keith, I need

an authorization.

Hold on a second,

Mrs. Alexander.

Is there a problem?

Uh, no... there's just been

an uptick in fraud.

We just need to

verify this quickly.

I got cash.

Sure. Thank you.

Okay.

Hold on a second,

Mrs. Alexander.

- What?

- Your change.

Marcus, can you come

to the deli?

Marcus to the deli.

Auntie Cassandra's

gonna get you some milk.

Ugh, we're out of milk.

That's why I

went to the store.

That's why I went to the store...

get my baby some milk!

Yes! Mwah! You miss me?

Yes, you did!

Oh, baby.

What you gonna do with that?

I am gonna make

Nejdra a new outfit.

- A dress and a hat... you like it?

- That's sweet.

- I like that.

- It's sweet, right?

I like that... I like that one.

Her daddy's taking us

out for her first birthday,

and I want us to look

extra nice.

You need to cut him loose

and get yourself a job.

For your information,

Miss Holier-Than-Thou,

I gots me a job.

Well, let me show you

- what we been doin' all day.

- No!

I'll go with you, mama!

Come here, precious!

Hi, mama!

- You did it!

- That's right!

We'd like to open up

three accounts.

One in my name.

One in mine.

And one is a trust

in the name of Carlina White.

And she is?

Our daughter.

That's good planning...

where's the little one?

- Do you see her?

- Uh, Carlina's not with us,

but we're hoping

she will be soon.

Well, our minimum deposit

is 100 per account.

Is that okay?

That's almost

half a million dollars.

What do you have to do

to make that kind of money?

It was a settlement, okay?

Want to get a coffee

or something?

- I'm gonna be late.

- How about tonight?

- I can't.

- You can't keep avoiding me.

I've got to get to class.

How's the studying going?

Carl, I know you've been trying,

but every time I look

at you, I see Carlina.

I see her face.

I see her eyes.

I don't want to be

angry anymore.

It's my fault, right?

We both left

the hospital that night.

You think you're

the only one that's angry.

There's not a day goes by

I don't think about what

our lives could've been like

if this didn't happen.

I'm sorry.

I just... can't.

I just can't.

Hey, what's up, cutie?

Don't you ever talk to

strangers, you hear me?

What do you do if a stranger

tries to give you candy?

- I scream "No!" and run.

- Good. Good.

- Do I gotta go?

- Yes, you gotta go.

Can't you teach me?

Mama can't teach

you everything, baby.

Don't you want to grow up

and be smart,

- like the Huxtables on TV?

- I don't wanna go to school!

Look here...

don't test me today, okay?

Don't test me today...

do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Yes.

Don't be upset, okay?

Mama just loves you so much

that she wants

what's best for you.

You mama's miracle

baby, Nejdra.

Can I get a smile?

You can do better than that!

Come on, give me a smile!

Come on.

Mwah... let's go to school,

big girl.

- # The blinds are pulled #

- Hurry up, mama... it's time!

What'd I tell you about

bothering me this early?

# With both of us,

this house might bust #

I'm comin'!

# And all this family #

I'm comin'.

# We're gonna have

a merry Christmas, babe #

- # A very merry Christmas, baby #

- Let's see what you got.

- # A merry Christmas, babe #
