- No. No Taylors.

- That's... That's impossible.

No, there has to be a Taylor

or a Walsh in there.

- No, I have neither.

- She's not here, John.

She never checked in.

Where the hell could she be?

Miss Havisham?

Miss Havisham, where are you?

Miss Havisham...

Are you hiding in the pantry?

What the hell is that smell?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Jesus.

Hi, this is Laura Taylor.

Leave a message...

Oh, God.

Okay. Okay.

911, what's your emergency?

Please, come now. She's having the baby.

No!

No, no!

She's dropping.

Let's get those fluids going.

Laura. Laura, can you hear me?

She's unresponsive.

- Wide open.

- Okay.

We got a female, early 40s.

Possible head trauma.

Pressure 85/55 and dropping.

All right, let's cross-type and match.

Make sure the CAT scan...

Hey. Can you hear me?

John?

You're gonna be fine.

Doctor says you just have

a bad concussion, some stitches...

...but you're gonna be okay.

Where's my baby?

We can't find Anna.

It's Roland. Yeah.

I'm across the river

at Montgomery Hospital.

Anna walked into ER in labour

after she attacked Laura.

Gave birth to a healthy baby boy,

according to her records.

She left later that evening

and took the baby with her.

- Where did she go?

- She disappeared.

I told the police to put an APB...

...out on her in every city

she's ever lived in...

...including that military base in

Pensacola where Mike was stationed.

John, she has that baby...

...she's gonna wanna be someplace safe.

- And close by.

- All right, thanks.

The lake house.

It's gotta be the lake house.

- No, babe. What are you doing?

- John.

- Please, I have to go.

- I can't let you do that.

John, I am going to get my child back.

No. No, no, no.

I let you come with me,

but this is as far as you go.

Look, we know that she's dangerous.

Just wait in the car.

Hey.

Sh*t.

Oh, God! What happened?

I got you. Just get in the car.

- I got it.

- Come on. We gotta move.

We better hurry up.

Oh, sh*t.

Cover the baby!

I am sick of you, you crazy b*tch.

It's gonna be okay.
