- Hey!

- Hi!

- Okay, be careful now.

- Okay.

- Be careful.

- Okay.

She been a little sick.

I got you.

- Hi!

- That's my girl!

- Hey, baby!

- What's your name, baby?

Say, "My name's Nejdra Nance. "

- "My name Nejdra Nance. "

- Where's your daddy, Nejdra?

"My daddy's

out working today. "

Dealing drugs ain't working.

You look like a Netty

I'm-a call you Netty

You hear that, Netty?

I'm your Auntie Cassandra.

I'm gonna get the bottle.

Excuse me, miss, my daughter's

been kidnapped.

If you could give me

a call if you see her...

Excuse me, sir,

my daughter's been...

Excuse me, sir...

Hey.

I spoke to my boss.

I'm gonna get that raise

so we can start looking

for our own place.

Don't bother.

- They're never gonna find her.

- Yes, they will.

Carl, just stop.

Why are you

so mad at me?

Joy, no one could have known

this would happen.

It was late, a shift change,

the cameras not working...

it was like a perfect storm!

I keep thinking

about that night...

that... nurse,

all those things she said to me.

She... I called a lawyer today.

Somebody's gotta pay for this.

Somebody's gotta pay.

When's her birthday?

July 31.

Why did it take you three

weeks to bring her around?

They kept us

in the hospital...

- ...for a little while.

- And you didn't call nobody?

I didn't want to bother folks.

I ain't "folks"...

I'm your sister.

Okay. I started

having contractions.

I didn't want to take

no chances,

so I went

straight to the hospital.

I didn't want no problems.

I got there.

They didn't think she

was gonna make it.

But she did.

You're my little

miracle baby, Nejdra.

You're my little miracle baby.

It's been nearly a year

that 19-day-old Carlina White

was snatched

from a Harlem hospital.

Parents have filed

a 100 million lawsuit

against the city

that charges lax security

and shoddy hiring practices.

Carlina's life is priceless.

No settlement in the world

could ever measure up

to having my daughter back.

I can't believe the police

haven't found my daughter yet.

In the beginning,

there were helicopters

and police officers everywhere,

but it all died down

rather fast.

Detective Dalton?

- I need some good news.

- We're working on it.

You said you'd find her.

Look, there was a woman.

Someone saw her at the hospital,

then on the train with a baby.

- We're checking...

- If Carlina was a white girl,

you'd have found her by now.

- You really believe that?

At least she'd still

be in the papers.

- What do you want me to say?

- I want you to keep your word.

Find my daughter.

And that's 43.96.

Cleanup in aisle 2.

- Cleanup in aisle 2.

- Here you go.

Keith, I need

an authorization.
