Damn you! Look what you've done!

Mommy!

"Back up!

- Mommy!"

Back up!

- Now!

- Mommy!

- Back up!

- Mommy!

Do it!

She's not there. Let's go around front.

Stay in the car!

We all thought Carter

was imagining his dead father.

But he wasn't.

Dr. Nix faked his suicide so that

he could kidnap the children

and not have the problem of the police

tracking him down.

What about tracking down his son?

Once Carter helped him get the kids,

he was disposable.

Dr. Nix planned to disappear

and leave Carter for the police.

Did they find him yet?

Mm-mm.

You think he'll come back?

I don't know.

I hope so. He needs help.

- He needs to be locked up.

- He needs to be in a hospital.

What are you doing?

Running for sainthood?

- He tried to kill you.

- I know.

Well, just in case

he shows up, I'd be packing a .45.

Well, Jack's staying with me now, so...

Better than a .45.

How's it going?

Good. He's been very supportive.

And Amy likes him.

Did you see the new bunny

he brought her?

Amy!

Amy? I'll be right back.

Amy!

Amy?

Amy!

Amy?

Where's Daddy?

Daddy's not here, sweetie.

He's gone away.

- Daddy's here.

- No, he's not.

Come on, honey,

we've got to get back.

Come to Mommy.
