Mommy, are we there yet?

Are we there yet, Mommy?

Are we there yet, Mommy?

Are we there yet, Mommy?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Mommy, I have to go pee.

Mommy, I need a wipe.

Mommy, why did you go fast?

Mommy, why are there no lights on this road?

Mommy, why is there a deer?

Mommy, we're upside-down.

Mommy, you have to get up.

You have to get up.

Mommy, you have to get up.

Oh my God.

You have to go up to the road, and you have to get help.

Can you do that?

Okay.

Hello?

My mommy needs help!

Hello?

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Motherfucker.

Motherfucker.

Motherfucker.

What do you think you are doing?!

You could have fucking killed the both of us!

All right, all right, come over here.

Come on, girlie, I don't have all night.

Let's get in the truck.

Aw, shit!

Goddammit, come back here!

Get back here, please!

Dammit!

Why the long faces, dudes?

School sucks.

It ain't that bad.

It's like a prison.

Trust me, it ain't.

Why can't we ride in the front?

- 'Cause it's safer in the back, I already told you.

There's seat belts up there.

I know that.

You used to.

- Your mom likes it this way, and I like your mom.

So that's that.

Remember, I'm picking you guys up today.

Your mom has to do a late shift at the clinic.

Can we get pizza for dinner?

- Mom already made us a noodle casserole to heat up.

Okay.

We get pizza, but you don't tell.

I know I'm gonna get it.

You boys never kept a secret in your life.

Hey Jolee.

- Hey. - What's on the wire?

Nothing now.

Some trucker radioed in at midnight

about a little kid out on Highway 13.

Lost?

He didn't say.

He just called it in.

He didn't stop to pick the kid up?

He didn't say.

He just said he ran across the road and into the woods.

Guy was probably drunk and saw a raccoon or something.

Said he had a load of lettuce from Visalia

he had to rush up to Chicago.

Guess they eat a lot of lettuce in Chicago.

Must have been that mesclun stuff.

Goes bad real quick.

Did you go out and check and see?

- Drove that stretch for six straight hours back and forth.

Didn't see anything from here to 64, not even another car.

You left the door open again, Gil.

No, I didn't.

Told Gabe to fix that latch.

Holy shit.

- I told you I don't want you using that language

in uniform, Tony.

Gil.

My mommy needs help.

You still hungry?

Want some chocolate pudding?

Sit tight, I'll be right back.

- Here's those clean clothes from Shirley's.

Thanks.

How's she doing?

Well, she's a pretty tough kid.

She's got some mild abrasions and a bump on her head,

but, other than that, she's okay.

Lucky it was a warm night.

Do you think her mom could have just abandoned her?

Well, not a psychiatrist,

but I've seen my share of abused kids come through here.

Just doesn't feel like that.

She okay for a drive?

I'm thinking maybe she might recognize something

on the road that could help.

Ideally, she should stay and rest,

but she's doing pretty well.

Let me get her cleaned up.

And just be careful taking her outside the car.

She really needs to stay warm, okay?

- You bet. - Hey, Jordan.

I got you some chocolate pudding.

And look, it must be Christmas

'cause I got you some new clothes too.

Okay.

Well, keep checking to see if anything else comes up.

Out.

We're driving back the way you came.

You tell me if you see anything you remember.

Not unless we search the whole forest.

I'm not sure.

She says there was a deer, but no sign of anything yet.

No dents in guardrails,

no broken trees, not even skid marks.

Well, keep checking Missing Persons

and file a report with the Forest Service.

See if they can schedule a helicopter.

She didn't appear out of the blue.

Gil are you there?

I mean, dispatch to double R one.

Dispatch to double R one.

Go for Gil.

Gil, they found her.

She just walked in here, about two minutes ago.

All right!

We're on our way back.

Negative, she's pretty banged up.

Tony's taking her down to the clinic.

Good job.

You call Bernie and tell her I'm bringing

the little girl back.

- Mommy! - Baby?

Oh, my baby!

It's your mommy.

My baby, come here.

Come here. - Your mommy has a boo-boo.

It's just some bandages.

She's gonna be okay.

It's okay, honey.

Mommy's here.

Come here, let me hold you.

Honey, it's okay.

I'm here. It's me.

That's not my mommy.

Um, it's just the bandages.

She's not used to seeing you like this.

It's okay, honey.

Mommy's here.

Mommy's here. Come here.

Let me hold you. - I want my mommy!

Sweetheart!

- Jordan! - No!

Somebody stop her, please!

Where you going, partner?

That's not my mommy.

Why do you say that?

Because she's not.

She seems to think she's your mommy.

She's not.

Are you scared of the bandages?

No.

- Maybe they make her look a little different.

But bandages come off.

No, I have to find my mommy.

- It's been a long day, and a long night, honey.

I'll bet you just need some sleep and rest.

- She's been through so much in the past few weeks.

We've been driving across the country.

She told us you got a new job.

- Yeah, we packed up the whole house, and all the toys.

And the movers are bringing all of it.
