The Perfect Family

What are they doing?

Jess, I think we're done.

Terry, look!

Look, they're gonna shoot.

They're gonna kill us. Aah!

Cover's blown. Lewis,

you got no time.

Take the shot, Lew.

Hold on to owen! Hold on!

What are they doing?!

We have a baby!

4 hours earlier

Hey, Jess?

Jess, are you there?

Jess, it's me.

Look, I-I know you're there,

So just listen.

I'm not saying you don't

got every right to be pissed,

but what I've been through in

these last few months..

It's made me realize, and you know,

it's made me see.

I've changed, and I'm ready.

And I just want to be with you

and our baby boy.

Jess?

What's... what's wrong?

He's gone, Terry.

I gave him up.

I gave our baby away.

What?

Is that the guy? Good.

It's good when they run, huh?

Yeah.

- Save some for the rest of us.

- Will do.

Four arrests, one warrant.

I know what you're thinking.

"That is some kind of record, Ed.

How do you do it?"

- Well, Greg, I find that...

- how's she doing?

She's fine.

- She shot a cop in the line of duty.

- She did her job.

And you're saying she's got

no reaction, no issues?

No, I'm s...

look,

you cut me some slack

when I had issues.

She deserves the same.

I told you I was pregnant.

You went out for smokes, and, what,

how many months later you come back?

That's messed up.

I was just... doing

a lot of thinking.

Yeah, well, so was I.

They made this introduction book.

The agency showed it to me.

Look at the house

they got on bridlepath.

I never even been up there.

And then I told myself,

"doesn't he deserve that?"

You know, when he was born, I...

something in me just said,

"This is wrong".

And then I was trying to tell myself

that the feelings were wrong,

That it was... that it was

the right thing to do.

And I tried calling them once, to change

my mind, but you only have three weeks,

And it was one past, so I just...

it's... I mean, it was

the right thing to do.

It was just the right thing to do, but...

Terry, I'm so sorry.

No. No. No. No.

I'm the one who left.

I'm the one who spent

the last two years a mess.

But you...

you don't have a thing

to be sorry for.

Except for maybe hooking up

with me in the first place.

But I'm here now.

And if you'll let me,

I want to make this work.

Does he have a name?

I don't know.

Well, what were you gonna name him?

Owen.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Can we just do one last thing?

Come on, sweetie.

Terry, I don't think

it's such a good idea.

You said they were nice people.

Nice people aren't gonna say no.

Hi, Jessie. Uh...

What's this about?

It-It's Andrew, right?

Hey, look, Andrew,

I'm-I'm Terry.

I- I'm the father of...

Look, I... look, I know

this is a bit weird,

but we just...

we just wanted to know

If we could see... if we could see

our baby. Your baby,I mean.

Absolutely not. It was never

part of the arrangement, so, uh...

Andrew, who is it?

Let's just go.

It's, uh...

Jessie.

Hi, jessie.

It's all right, Andrew.

Is everything okay?

Well, you look so...

so happy. That's great.

Yeah.

Thanks to you and your decision.

So, uh, what'd you name him?

Liam.

Huh.

What's that? Jewish?

- Irish.

- Nice.

Yeah. Well...

Listen, I think it's, uh...

well, it's about time

to wrap it up, okay?

Okay.

Can I hold him?

- Oh, uh...

- I don't...

I don't think we're comfortable.

Please, I'm never gonna...

I'm never gonna see him again.

I just want to...

just once before we go.

Please?

Um...

- Please?

- Okay.

OK.

- Just watch his head.

- Okay.

- You got him?

- Yeah.

Huh, Terry?

Hey.

I... I think...

...it's time for Owen

to come home.

Owen?

Well, Terry,

what are you talking about?

- Okay. Andrew...

- Yeah, yeah. It's okay.

Okay, you have exactly one minute

to get the hell out of our house.

No, I'm sorry, but

Jessie's changed her mind.

Isn't that right, Jessie?

- No, I-I...

- Jessie.

Jessie, okay, you had

your three weeks, okay, Jessie?

It's, it's the law.

Right, you can look it up.

You are so young.

You can have another baby.

We already have a baby.

And we're not leaving without him.

Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Hey! Once we get a lawyer...

lawyer? Wait a minute.

Okay, I am a lawyer, all right?

You're going to do what?

What lawyer do you have?

You think you're so much

better than me.

Terry!

- Okay, I...

- calm down.

Okay, I... I just think I've spent

more time with the baby,

and that makes me more of

a father to him than you are.

You want to see what kind

of father I am? Huh?

Terry, stop it!

- Andrew!

- Get the hell out of our house, okay?!

No! Not without our boy.

- No, Terry!

- Go get Owen!

Operator 911?

Cindy!

- Move!

- Listen, you're upset.

- I've been there, all right?

- You don't know me!

I know what it's like, okay?

I know what it's like to want a child

more than anything else...

- Shut up! - It makes you do

crazy things, it does, okay?

You don't know me! Shut up!

Terry, there's a two-way alarm

in the nursery, okay?

The police are going to

hear everything you say.

Shut up!

Get the hell out of my house.

I'm sorry.

Jessie!

Okay, we've got a home

invasion in progress.

Unis are on their way, and it sounds like

there's a child on the scene.

Winnie, let's hear the live feed

from the home security.

Patch that through.

- Cindy!

- You get out of my house!

Is he okay?

Andrew!

I got their car keys.

- Oh, my god!

- Let's get Owen.

No, no! We-We can't do that.

You see this?

Why shouldn't this be us?

Andrew!

Andrew, help me!

We-we just want to make sure

the baby's okay, Cindy.

You tell me my husband's okay!

What did you do to him?

Cindy, open the door!

Less lethal all around.

No tasers, no gas.

Wait for weapons on my go, and nothing,

repeat, nothing. Till we get a 20 on that baby.

Copy.

Cindy, open the door!

Terry...

Sounds like it's escalating.

We've got to move fast on scene.

- Spike, Lewis, approach on black.

- Copy that.

- Got it.

- Jessie, get out!

You get out! Get out!

Cindy, we're not going to

hurt you, okay?

Donna, Wordy, you've got white.

- Where is andrew?!

- Shields on everyone.

Where is he?

Winnie, it sounds like the homeowners

know who the invaders are.

Let's see what their connection is.

Why the care for the child?

Homeowners are Andrew

and Cindy greenwood.

Checking for a Terry

and Jessie now.

The police can hear everything.

They're on their way.

They're coming. No!

Get away from that!

We just lost audio, folks

No, please, please,

please don't do this.

Okay? Okay? It's not safe for him.

What, do you think

I'm going to hurt him?

He's my boy.

Give him to me, please, okay?

No, no. No, no, no, no.

- Give us our boy, now!

- Cindy!

You want to see Andrew again,

give us our baby!

Cindy...

Give him to me, okay?

See? He needed his mommy.

Okay, baby.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,

okay. We've got to go.

What do we need? What do we need?

What do we need?

Um, uh... I don't know.

I don't know. What do we need?

- What do we need?
