Over ten. Till he was 18.

Yeah, those aren't relatives,

those are foster homes.

Let's keep looking, guys.

Terry, what are we doing?

Terry...

Terry, we can't go in there.

Just trust me. It's gonna be great.

He's gonna love it.

Look, we're okay.

Boss, I got her.

Here she is.

Jessie, hey,

it's Greg Parker again.

I'm really glad to hear

that you're okay.

So where are you?

We're at...

we're safe, okay.

We're gonna turn ourselves in.

We just need to do this one thing.

Owen's still hungry, huh?

How you coming with that formula?

I don't know how to make it.

I should know this!

What am I doing?

Jessie, you know who was born

knowing this stuff?

Nobody.

Having a baby, that's one thing,

but taking care of him, honey,

that's something else.

You can't do it on the run.

Yeah, well, if I was a real mother,

You know, I would have learned.

I wouldn't have just given him up.

Or-Or you knew

what your baby would need

and you made sure he got it,

like a real mother would.

So, Jessie, why don't you

tell me where you are?

We're at the northern dreampark, okay?

- Yeah. - We're almost done. And

then we're coming in downtown.

- Okay, Jessie, just stay on the line.

- I gotta go.

Eddie, northern dreampark.

Copy that.

- Let's step on it, folks.

- Ready?

- Terry, can we go now?

- Yeah.

What's this?

It's just one last thing.

Oh! I know exactly where it is.

He's gonna love it.

Terry, come on.

- Please?

- Let's just go.

Please?

Please?

Terry...

Come on.

I can't wait for you to

see this. And Owen, too.

Winnie, Jessie mentioned a "tami,"

Some connection to dornan.

- Find out what it is.

- I'm on it.

What do you think?

Well?

Yeah, it's pretty.

Come on. Come on.

All right, I'm sierra one.

Spike and Lewis, alpha team,

west side of the park.

Wordy, Donna, east side of

the park, bravo team.

Weapons?

Look, Dornan may not be armed,

but he's violent and he's unstable,

so tasers if we can.

What about long range?

Rubber bullets.

That baby is the priority.

If he gives us no choice,

we do what we got to do.

- Clear. - Clear.

- I don't think...

Guys, get going.

Donna, you got a problem?

No, I'm good.

- You sure?

- Yep.

Let's go!

- You all right?

- Yeah. You good?

- Yeah, cool.

- All right.

Here, give him to me.

- Please?

- You sure?

Okay, okay, Terry

- Watch his head, watch his head.

- I got it, I got it, I got it.

Okay, team, keep me posted.

Nothing yet, boss.

No joy here, either.

- Go down here?

- Yeah.

You know, when your daddy

was almost four,

his mommy and his daddy came here.

And your daddy, well, he thought

the whole world lived in this park.

And at the center of this world was
