- Let's get Owen.

No, no! We-We can't do that.

You see this?

Why shouldn't this be us?

Andrew!

Andrew, help me!

We-we just want to make sure

the baby's okay, Cindy.

You tell me my husband's okay!

What did you do to him?

Cindy, open the door!

Less lethal all around.

No tasers, no gas.

Wait for weapons on my go, and nothing,

repeat, nothing. Till we get a 20 on that baby.

Copy.

Cindy, open the door!

Terry...

Sounds like it's escalating.

We've got to move fast on scene.

- Spike, Lewis, approach on black.

- Copy that.

- Got it.

- Jessie, get out!

You get out! Get out!

Cindy, we're not going to

hurt you, okay?

Donna, Wordy, you've got white.

- Where is andrew?!

- Shields on everyone.

Where is he?

Winnie, it sounds like the homeowners

know who the invaders are.

Let's see what their connection is.

Why the care for the child?

Homeowners are Andrew

and Cindy greenwood.

Checking for a Terry

and Jessie now.

The police can hear everything.

They're on their way.

They're coming. No!

Get away from that!

We just lost audio, folks

No, please, please,

please don't do this.

Okay? Okay? It's not safe for him.

What, do you think

I'm going to hurt him?

He's my boy.

Give him to me, please, okay?

No, no. No, no, no, no.

- Give us our boy, now!

- Cindy!

You want to see Andrew again,

give us our baby!

Cindy...

Give him to me, okay?

See? He needed his mommy.

Okay, baby.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,

okay. We've got to go.

What do we need? What do we need?

What do we need?

Um, uh... I don't know.

I don't know. What do we need?

- What do we need?

- Okay. Okay, okay.

It's cold. You'll have to

put him in this.

Okay. You need a blanket.

You take this one.

I just washed it.

And a bottle.

Greenwoods just went through an adoption.

Took official custody two months ago.

Can't get the name of the biological mother,

Maybe two more minutes.

That's why the concern. It's hers.

Jessie.

Jessie, look at me, Jessie.

Please don't do this.

You can come and see him

whenever you want.

You can come every day,

I swear to god.

We can work something out.

I'm sorry, Cindy, but he needs

to be with his mommy.

He needs to be with people

that really love him. Okay?

We do. We do, we love him.

Come on, baby, we got to go now.

- We've got to go right now.

- No, no, no, Jessie, no.

Please!

Flashpoint SO2 EPO5 (9)

Go, go, go, go, go.

Got their car keys; let's go.

Team, neighbors just called

in Greenwoods' minivan

silver, light gray bmw,

just pulled away.

I got 'em right here

in the intersection.

If they run, we ram 'em

before they leave the scene.

Copy that.

Terry.

Donna, possible baby on board.

Stand down, stand down. The baby.
