And on the final visit,

he'll be told the truth.

Do you have children, Mrs. Bower?

Yes. Yes, I do.

And I am very sorry.

All right, all right.

What if something happens?

- I'm sorry?

- Ms. Bower.

I know why Rip Porter went to prison.

Mr. Porter's had years of rehabilitation-

and anger management.

Come on.

And the court

has deemed him a fit parent.

Now, I've personally been to their home.

- It's a suitable environment.

- A suitable environment?

Joey's not going anywhere.

You can leave now, Ms. Bower.

Good-bye.

Mr. Campbell,

I understand your frustration...

But it's either me...

Or two uniformed police officers.

Ive done it both ways.

Believe me, this way is best for Joey.

Ms. Bower...

If anything happens to my son

while I'm clearing this mess up...

Im gonna hold you personally responsible.

Jack. Jack.

Come here, baby.

Good morning.

You must be Joey. I'm Allyson.

Hey, sweetie?

- Listen to Mom, okay?

- No.

- This is the woman that's

gonna take you to Ohio. - No!

- It's okay, sweetie.

- No!

Baby, it's gonna be okay.

Mommy and Daddy love you so much.

- I don't wanna go! - It's gonna be okay.

We'll be right here when you get back.

- Will you give me a moment with my family?

- Of course.

Come here, sweetie.

We have to put your jacket on.

Listen.

I want you to be a big boy, okay?

Okay, you be brave.

I know you can.

I wanna stay with you.

Will you come with me to the airplane?

We can't go with you to the airplane.

- I'm gonna take you to the car, okay?

- No.

- I'm sorry.

- Please, I don't want to go.

Please don't take me.

I don't wanna go!

No, I don't wanna go!

Rip, they're here.

They're here.

- He's got your eyes.

- Yeah?

- Ain't that somethin'?

- Hello.

Ready?

Mr. and Mrs. Porter, this is Joey.

Hi there.

What a big, handsome boy you are.

Welcome to our home.

Can I give you a hug?

This is my wife, Wendy...

And, uh...

My name's Richard.

Some people call me Rip.

You can call me whatever you want.

- Nice to meet you.

- Joey?

Rip and Wendy are your new friends.

Now, you need to listen to them

and obey them...

Just as you would your parents.

You understand?

Is that your suitcase?

Can I get it for you?

Oh, wow!

You got an elephant in there?

You wanna see your room?

I fixed it up myself for you.

Oh, hey, we got a dog

in the back named Camper.

- I got a dog named Gus.

- In the backyard there.

Yeah? Well, come on in.

I need you to sign right there.

Thank you for everything.

Just remember that he's six

and in a new world.

Ill check in tomorrow.

I want their address, Tom.

I want to know where he works.
