We lost Jericho when he was 13 weeks. It's called a reborn doll.
I'm sure you and Jericho will form an instant bond.
- I can't wait to meet him. - Dorothy took it hard.
Who cares if she brings a little God into our world?
She's gone. You can put it down now.
I should take Jericho for his walk now.
She's just playing along.
Can't take a doll to soccer practice, Sean.
All right. This is you.
Ma'am?
Hey, home sweet home.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
Hello?
- Don't just leave him. - What...
Oh, hi, hi, hi.
Hello.
Hi.
It's okay. It's okay.
Did he miss me?
What?
Did he miss me?
Did you miss me? Yes?
Yeah.
Of course.
You hungry? Are you hungry? You are, aren't you?
Here you go.
Whose is it?
Mr. Turner?
You know she's up there right now, plugging another person's baby to her tit.
Did I do something wrong?
I'm gonna ask you this one more time.
Whose baby is that?
That's your baby, Mr. Turner.
It's Jericho.
Well, he won't take anything from me.
Leanne, could you give him a bath?
That usually calms him down.
Of course, Mrs. Turner.
Hey, sweetie.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Okay.
What a day.
Every time I visit South Philly I realize how blessed we are.
Did I tell you about the new girl on the team?
Isabelle something or other. Twenty-four.
Reasonably personable and charming. Has some sort of presence.
But, my God, the ambition.
When I went on maternity leave, she was an intern.
Now she's camera testing.
I don't want to suggest it, but she sucked a chain of dicks.
Where did you find her?
Who? The intern?
Leanne.
I don't know.
Well, think.
I put a shout-out on my Twitter page.
An old makeup artist recommended a girl.
When I got in touch with her, she was already with a new family,
but she must have shared my link because within a week
I had a dozen résumés.
So a friend of a colleague of an acquaintance?
What can I say? We got lucky.
Trout is delicious.
It's so firm. Did you use cardamom?
Star anise.
This is Julian. Maybe another time.
Hey. I know it's late, but give me a call back if you can.
Something's happened, and I don't know what to do about it, Julian.
Okay. Good job.
What?
Zero.
No, no, no. Stop.
No, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop.
- Stop, stop, stop. - What is happening?
Who changed the fucking code?
- Where were you taking him at this hour? - I was just going for a drive.
I know they like the motion.
Are you high?
Is everything okay, Mrs. Turner?
Sean thought it would be a good idea to wake up the whole house.
I'll take him in with me. You can go back to bed, Leanne.
- Hey, man. - Sign, please.
Thank you.
Thanks. Sorry.
That's me.
Dorothy, I need to talk to you.
What? I have to hurry.
I'll see you tonight. Try and sleep.
Hi.
I'll keep him out of your way, Mr. Turner.
I know you have important work to do.
Fucking splinter.
Fuck!
Hey. Dorothy texted me. Something about dinner tonight?
You need to get over here right now.
I'm heading into work. What's happened?
I can't talk on this thing. Just get here as soon as you fucking can.
Fuck.
Good boy. You're so good.
You're doing so good, sweetie. Doing so good. So good.
You're okay, honey. You're okay. There you go.
So good.
Shit.
You're doing so good.
Okay. Okay.
I only have 20 minutes.
What the hell are you doing on the floor?
Hey, sweetie.
Are you okay? You're okay.
You got your blanket.
Whose is it?
You think I didn't ask that already?
She said...
Doesn't matter what she said.
The doll was gone and the baby was in the crib.
She fuckin' swapped them.
You saw her walk in off the street with it?
Not exactly.
It all happened too quick.
Okay, they were both out.
I heard a noise.
I went upstairs.
- Then Dorothy came home from work. - When was this?
Yesterday.
That fuckin' thing's been here all night?
I didn't know what to do. I called you for help.
You said you didn't see her walk in with it.
What fucking difference does it...
What I'm trying to establish here, Sean, is whether if it was the girl or Dorothy.
It was the girl. Of course it was.
- Who's gonna think that... - Think what?
The crazy, bereaved white woman snatched a baby?
- I don't wanna drink. - You're in shock.
Yeah, and did you check the news?
Missing babies. Are there any reported?
I don't know.
That's job number one.
Okay? Not sanding the fucking floors.
That's someone's baby, Julian.
I know that.
When we find out where it came from,
we'll do the right thing.
This could not be happening on a worse day.
Don't do anything until you hear from me.
Dorothy's gonna kill ya.
- The war on drugs escalated this morning - Look. Say hi.
When narcotics officers raided this apartment building in Kensington.
Substances discovered, including heroin, have a reported street value
of over a hundred thousand dollars.
A man and a woman, the residents of this apartment building,
were arrested without incident.
Their children, thankfully, were taken into care by city officials.
This is Dorothy Turner, 8 News.
Sean?
I kept him up for you, Mrs. Turner.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- There you go, sweetie. There you go. - Hey.
What the hell are you doing to yourself?
That girl is an absolute steal.
Stop saying that. Just because she's cheap does not make her trustworthy.
Month ago you wouldn't even let Jericho on the subway.
Now a stranger's okay?
That's because there was a spate of mentally ill people
