Nothing intentionally,

He set up some sort of hidden camera

You can trace that back to his location?
It'd be difficult to
track his IP address

There's a newborn who's gone missing.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Her name is Reign.
She was born two days ago
to Viola and Franklin LaShay.
Her parents was leaving the
hospital when she was snatched
right from her mother's arms.
And they didn't see
the perpetrator's face.
According to the mom and
older daughter, whoever it was
- was wearing a mask.
- Why do you need us?
A missing baby is as
high-profile as it gets.
And where's Trent? No way he
wouldn't be involved in this.
Trent is working on
another high-priority case.
DCPD has been searching for 12 hours,
and we have nothing to show
for it but a mile of red tape.
Look, we need the parking
lot security footage.
They won't hand it
over without a warrant.
And right now we're
working on one, but
Since medical facilities
are governed by privacy laws,
it could take a day.
Hold up. Why are you looking at me?
Are you asking what
I think you're asking?
I didn't ask anything.
Did y'all hear me ask anything?
I'm just saying, if someone happens
to find footage from the
hospital, it'll be helpful.
Gabi, the mother has done
absolutely nothing wrong
except advocate for
herself and her child.
She thought her baby was sick.
The doctors disagreed.
They didn't appreciate her
challenging them constantly.
So what do they do?
They treat her like dirt.
Welcome to being Black
and pregnant in America.
What about Lacey?
Shouldn't she be a priority?
If the baby really is sick,
- we can't leave it out there unfound.
- I agree.
Lacey would never forgive
us if we let a baby die.
We work both cases.
No one rests until Lacey
and baby Reign are home.
Last year we agreed to try an egg donor.
And if that failed,
we were ready to accept
that our family wasn't meant to grow.
The day I found out I was pregnant
was the happiest of my life.
The pregnancy was difficult,
but I did everything
to keep my baby safe.
[VOICE BREAKING] But the
moment Reign was born,
I knew something was wrong.
I could just feel she was in pain.
My mom is very intuitive.
These damn doctors
no one here believed me
when I said Reign was sick.
It wasn't until she
started swelling that they
agreed to run any tests.
Then they told us the
results could take some time
and that we should
wait for them at home.
We never made it home.
That's when your baby was
kidnapped from the parking lot.
I'm sorry. I tried to help.
It's not your fault, sweetheart.
Raya tried running after
the person that, um
Can you think of anyone who
would want to take your baby?
No. We've only been su
surrounded by love and support.

- Mom?
- Are you okay?
- She's gonna be okay, honey.
- We need some help in here.

What's up?
I just came by to update you.
Viola's gonna be okay.
Doctors stopped the bleeding.
Yeah, Margaret texted me.
I also thought you could
use some help hacking
into the security footage.
I've been hacking since I was 12.
I don't need help.
Your body is still trying to
flush out the remaining poison.
- I'm worried about you.
- Fine.
But you keep your
hands off my damn files.
You think I wouldn't notice
you deleted my resignation email?
No, I knew you would.
I just didn't want you to
regret making a decision
- in a moment of pain.

We should focus on our cases.
You can take Viola's social media.
What were you looking
at? [KEYS CLACKING]
Viola didn't post much, but this picture
is from the baby shower
that her IVF support group threw her.
We should talk to these women.
Any one of them could have motive
if they were desperate for a child.

Let me guess Raya's boyfriend.
No, that's Sean Locke. He's

Absentee parents, crashed
at Raya's parents' house
for several months
before finally moving.

- Maine with cousins.
According to Shaker, he is
flying back home to help.
Viola was like a second mom to him.

Franklin? What happened?
- [CRYING]
- Reign's blood test came back.
My wife is right.
She's sick.
She has hemolytic
disease of the newborn.
So Viola's body tried to attack Reign's
when she was pregnant
that's what made Reign sick.
[SNIFFLES] I knew something was wrong.
I told them, and they didn't listen.
I told them. Oh, my God, my baby.
What's the risk for Reign now?
My baby's blood cells are
breaking down too fast.
If she doesn't get a blood transfusion
in the next nine hours [CRIES]
My baby will die.
Uh
Raya's calling.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

I sent Raya on a fool's
errand to get me some food.
She was inconsolable when she heard.
Keeping her busy helps her.
- You're a good mother.
- Am I?
I let my baby get taken.
- Viola.
- No, I did.
And then Raya already had a hard year,
and now she's blaming herself
for letting the kidnapper escape.
If we don't get the baby back,
I don't know what it'll do to Raya
to all of us.
I know the pain of losing
a child is unbearable
but don't let your mind go there.
You've lost one, too.
How do you survive?
Some days I don't.
But using my pain to help people
makes it hurt a little less.

I'm no help in this case.
Hey, you just gave an
inconsolable mother peace.
That's why I want you to
do the press conference.
You understand this
case on a deeper level.
People will connect to
you just like Viola did.
We need to have the
whole country behind us

There is nothing I hate
more than being lied to.
We promise, we don't know
anything about baby Reign.
We would never steal a child.
Kent and I don't even want kids.
We can barely afford to feed ourselves.
So what you're saying is,
you'll do anything for money.
- No, I didn't say
- Five years ago, you donated
your eggs to an older couple.
After the baby was born, you threatened
to take your child back unless
the family wired you $10,000.
Now, I'm going to ask you again.
Do you know where baby Reign is?
No, I don't know where she is.
And I was young and dumb
when I sent that email.
It was just an empty threat.
I just wanted to get
that family's attention.
They were loaded, and I
was barely scraping by.
But I would never do that
now, especially to Viola.
Her and her beautiful
family are everything.
I would never harm them.
And I can't believe someone ever would.

I'm putting my faith in you, too.
Seriously?
Lacey is still out there

less than nine hours to live,

You know what? Go to hell.
I'll see you there.

You're lying.
Just admit the two of

Like I told the FBI,
I haven't spoken to

Why is that?
25 years
that's before anyone had a
clue of the monster he was.
Or did you know?
And you are protecting that piece of

He's never needed my protection.
Look, I'm on your side.
- Yeah.
- When you called me,
I got on the first

Now, would I have done that
if I wanted to keep
my brother's secrets?
You seem like a smart cop, a good cop.
So this whole
guilty-by-association crap,
you're better than that.
Hugh did some unspeakable things,
but I am not him.
And if you want my help,
you need to stop treating me like I am.
Let's start from the beginning.
I'll promise you however
many appearances you want.
Just make sure you cover
the press conference today
on your show, Rob.
Thanks.
- Where's Dhan?
- Busy.
Any updates?
I know what you're thinking, Zeke.
We'll keep it business, I promise.
I finally traced Sir's call.
He's using a burner
phone or a burner app.
- No surprise there.
- I've been thinking
he didn't choose that
pay phone at random.
He has to know the foot
traffic in that area
to guarantee he wouldn't
get caught placing the photos
- or the camera.
- He must be staying someplace nearby.
Okay, okay.
He wouldn't risk another rental home
after the near miss with us.
So let's look at all the
vacant homes near the phone

foreclosures, homes for sale.
Already on it. Only problem is,

baby, Reign LaShay,

Her mother, Viola, almost died running
after the person who took her.
Viola fought for nine months
to ensure that her baby
had the best chance at a future.
And now this baby, her baby is dying

Margaret, do you need

This area is right near Poinsettia Park

Does that mean something to you?
Hugh took me to a house

Do you remember what

No.

So tell me about the perpetrator.
The perpetrator would know
the baby is sick by now,
even if they didn't see
the press conference.
The baby would be showing
symptoms swelling, fever.
But they haven't brought
her back to the hospital,
which means they're
either panicked or
They want the baby dead.
But who would want to kill a baby?
Well, why do people do
all sorts of crazy things?
Perhaps there was someone
close to Viola who was angry,
was hurt by her, someone who
knew they could punish her
- by taking the child.

She trusts her village.
