The Perfect Family Page #3

Owen's still hungry, huh?

How you coming with that formula?

I don't know how to make it.

I should know this!

What am I doing?

Jessie, you know who was born

knowing this stuff?

Nobody.

Having a baby, that's one thing,

but taking care of him, honey,

that's something else.

You can't do it on the run.

Yeah, well, if I was a real mother,

You know, I would have learned.

I wouldn't have just given him up.

Or-Or you knew

what your baby would need

and you made sure he got it,

like a real mother would.

So, Jessie, why don't you

tell me where you are?

We're at the northern dreampark, okay?

- Yeah. - We're almost done. And

then we're coming in downtown.

- Okay, Jessie, just stay on the line.

- I gotta go.

Eddie, northern dreampark.

Copy that.

- Let's step on it, folks.

- Ready?

- Terry, can we go now?

- Yeah.

What's this?

It's just one last thing.

Oh! I know exactly where it is.

He's gonna love it.

Terry, come on.

- Please?

- Let's just go.

Please?

Please?

Terry...

Come on.

I can't wait for you to

see this. And Owen, too.

Winnie, Jessie mentioned a "tami,"

Some connection to dornan.

- Find out what it is.

- I'm on it.

What do you think?

Well?

Yeah, it's pretty.

Come on. Come on.

All right, I'm sierra one.

Spike and Lewis, alpha team,

west side of the park.

Wordy, Donna, east side of

the park, bravo team.

Weapons?

Look, Dornan may not be armed,

but he's violent and he's unstable,

so tasers if we can.

What about long range?

Rubber bullets.

That baby is the priority.

If he gives us no choice,

we do what we got to do.

- Clear. - Clear.

- I don't think...

Guys, get going.

Donna, you got a problem?

No, I'm good.

- You sure?

- Yep.

Let's go!

- You all right?

- Yeah. You good?

- Yeah, cool.

- All right.

Here, give him to me.

- Please?

- You sure?

Okay, okay, Terry

- Watch his head, watch his head.

- I got it, I got it, I got it.

Okay, team, keep me posted.

Nothing yet, boss.

No joy here, either.

- Go down here?

- Yeah.

You know, when your daddy

was almost four,

his mommy and his daddy came here.

And your daddy, well, he thought

the whole world lived in this park.

And at the center of this world was

the most beautiful thing he had ever seen:

Horses and families

and everybody together.

Eddie, I'm about to

talk to this tami,

see what more we can

get on our subject here.

If you see him,

let me know right away.

Copy that.

No, I've spent more time in court with

him than all my other kids combined.

What'd he do now?

How long did he live with you?

Two years. The time he was

16 to the time he walked out.

Can't say I was sorry.

That's quite a handful, huh?

No, a handful's what I'm used to.

You ever spend the night with a baby who's

not getting his crack from mommy's milk?

That I'm used to.

Now, when Terry came, everybody said,

"Look, this is a really hard one. "

And I said, "yeah, hard or not,

every kid wants love,

and that I've got to give. "

Okay. So what made him different?

Look, no kid likes a foster home.

Every kid wants to believe that someday,

mommy and daddy are gonna come back

And everything's gonna be better.

Well, Terry never even had that.

His mother dead from that accident,

and then his father.

I don't know. Maybe you just

never get over something like that.

What happened to his father?

Oh, and this one,

this one...

this was my favorite.

I'd never forget it.

And my daddy...

hey, you know what his name was?

It was Owen.

Just like you, buddy.

There's nothing in quadrant e-2.

No dice in w-4.

Need a better vantage point.

Thank you.

Sierra one in position.

No sign. Hold on. Hold on.

At the carousel. Bravo team,

that's closest to you.

- There it is.

- Okay.

Wordy, Donna, stealth approach.

Alpha team, what's your 20?

Alpha team's on the move,

but we're far!

I didn't cry.

Well, you were four, Terry.

He's just a baby.

Give him to me.

I thought we were gonna

go downtown together.

Yeah, we will.

Then what are they doing here?

Terry, I'm sorry.

When I go to jail,

you'll probably never

see me again, right?

You'll just give me up.

we were supposed to be together!

Supposed to?

Terry, we did all of this together!

He's escalating.

And he's got the baby.

You know, maybe it doesn't matter

how much we want it.

We have to think about what

he needs, okay? Give him to me!

No!

No?

It's too late!

Terry...

- Give him to me!

- No!

Terry!

- He's seen us.

- Cover's blown. We're in pursuit.

Wordy, on the girl.

Donna, follow the male.

Spike and Lew, get to the carousel.

- I got him.

- You got him?

Splitting up.

Terry!

Stay right there! Stay right there!

Stay right there!

- I gotta go! I gotta go! I gotta go!

- Okay, I know, I know, I know, I know.

I can't let him go!

I need you to calm down. Okay?

I need... listen. I know. Easy, easy.

- Wordy, Wordy, go with donna. Go

with donna. I got her. I got her.

I don't know what he's gonna do!

Donna, wait on my go.

Boss, he's headed for the stairs

and he's got the baby.

Eddie, stop him.

- He's too far to tase.

- Then go lethal.

- Rubber bullets?

- That might not do it, Ed.

If he makes it up there,

that baby could die!

Copy that.

I don't have a clear shot.

Sabine, do you have the solution?

Sabine, you have scorpio,

take the shot.

Negative, no solution.

The baby's in jeopardy.

He's going up the coaster, but he can't

go anyplace once he's at the top.

Yes, he can. He can go the way

his father went, Ed.

He can jump.

Donna, Wordy, wait on my lead.

- Copy.

- Copy.

Hey, Terry, hey, wait up, buddy.

It's me, Greg Parker,

I want to help you.

- I have to get up there! I have to get up

there! - Listen, there's nothing you can do

- up there but put yourself in danger.

- Please...

He has my baby!

Terry!

Hey. It's me, Greg.

Come on.

Hold up a second.

Hey. I just want to talk to you.

It's okay.

It's all right.

You get her out of here.

I made her do this.

She shouldn't have to see this.

What's "this"? What do you mean?

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

Just man to man. What do you say?

Know what I see?

I see a guy who's trying to

do the right thing,

But suddenly finds himself

in the wrong place.

Is-Is that close?

I'll bet you... you don't even

want to be up here.

In fact, I bet you can't imagine

why you're even up here.

What, do you think I'm stupid?

No.

No, I think you got feelings.

I think you got big, gigantic feelings,

the kind that just come out of

your stomach and make you feel like,

"what do you do?" sometimes.

And you've never had anybody in your life

to teach you about those feelings,

to help you with those feelings,

and that's not fair.

Oh. Oh, I have lots of people.

Loads of families.

- A different one every year.

- Sure.

But they've never been

your real family.

Right?

What's going on? Is he...?

It's under control.

My ma died when I was just four.

I know.

Yeah? You know what happened

to my old man?
