(dramatic music)
- This is my baby.
Mine Claudia, mine, mine, mine.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia moaning)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
- Baby.
Babe.
You know we don't have
to go tonight, right?
- No.
- [Marcus] We can stay
home, I can make a fire.
I can give you a massage,
- Baby, there's no way
I'm gonna miss my husband
receiving this OBGYN Distinguish Award.
- Well, you do know all
I hear from the patients
is after the baby gets here,
they have no alone time.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When so and so gets here,
we'll have a lot of alone
time once they get to college.
- [Marcus] So and so gets to college.
- Yeah.
- Claudia.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, wake up.
(ambulance siren blaring)
- So Mrs. James heard somebody
had a pretty big fall.
Gots to be more careful.
I understand your concern, relax.
Got some pretty good results for you.
Doctor, would you like to take a look?
- [Marcus] Yes, please, thank you.
- [Claudia] Is the baby okay?
- Yes, yes, the baby is okay.
Thank you so much, doctor.
- He's right.
You and the baby are fine.
We checked your blood
pressure and your vitals.
Every one checks out well.
Honestly, you'd be surprised
how strong babies are in the womb.
I see no reason for you guys to stay in.
- Okay.
- [Marcus] Let me help you.
- Wait, wait, and the second thing,
bed rest, lots of it.
It's vital for you and
the baby to stay healthy.
- [Claudia] Got it.
- Are you guys still
looking for a midwife?
- Yeah, we are.
- I got you.
I have a company I recommend.
Make sure you follow up with them.
- Okay.
Thank you so much, doctor.
And I'll make sure she
like this bedrest thing.
- [Doctor] Absolutely.
Again, congratulations to you both.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Baby, I was thinking
maybe I should stay back.
You gonna need somebody to look over you.
- And not go to the conference?
Uh-uh, you're going.
And besides I can bed rest.
(both laughing)
- Come on.
(gentle music)
(orderly knocking)
- Hey Parker, are you okay?
(dramatic music)
(door thudding)
(dramatic music)
- No.
(Parker laughing)
But I can be.
(dramatic music)
Come here.
(dramatic music)
- Who, me?
- Aha.
(dramatic music)
Close your eyes.
(dramatic music)
(people speaking indistinctly)
(dramatic music)
(Parker panting)
(dramatic music)
(Parker panting)
(dramatic music)
(Parker panting)
Shit.
(Parker panting)
(car alarm blaring)
(car door thudding)
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
(police sirens blaring)
(footsteps thudding)
(police sirens blaring)
(footsteps thudding)
- No sign of a struggle.
The guard says that the
victim keys were missing.
(people speaking indistinctly)
Well, until the coroner says otherwise,
look like this guy came in with her
and that's when she attacked.
- How did she get so close to him?
- I'm not sure.
She could have pretended to need help.
Or the good old fashion seduction play.
He looks young.
Probably dumb.
So we're gonna go with
the last one for now.
(footsteps thudding)
(police sirens blaring)
We need to find her, immediately.
(police sirens blaring)
(dramatic music)
- You know what, baby?
I was thinking,
maybe we should go ahead and
call that midwife service
from your clinic now.
- Why so soon?
You know the baby doesn't
come for another three,
maybe four weeks.
- I know, but think about it.
If she gets here now she
can help me around the house
and that way you can make
it to your conference.
- Hmm.
- I do need to stay up on my
board certifications, don't I?
- Mm-hmm.
You do.
- What are you doing?
- Looking for a midwife?
(both laughing)
I need to get these
interviews started now.
- It ain't no stopping with you, is it?
- Mm-hmm.
You already know.
Baby, it's okay, I got it.
I got it.
(Claudia laughing)
- What about Ms.
Jones for our third?
- Seriously, baby?
This poor woman got a walker,
how is she gonna help me
and a baby get around?
(both laughing)
- Well what about Ms. Sims?
- Uh-uh, Ms.
Sims is just way too sexy.
You trying to get a divorce?
I mean.
- Come on.
Baby, we can hire Halle Berry
and I wouldn't even get.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I.
Ms. Murray, Ms.
Murray looks nice.
What about her?
- Well, yeah, she'll
be our third interview.
Okay.
- [Claudia] Hopefully
they all come on time.
- And if they don't, that'll be our sign.
We have to depend on these
people when the baby comes.
- Good point.
Okay, well I got 'em all booked up.
And by the time you get to the hotel,
I should be on my first interview.
- You know what baby?
- What's that?
- I would feel more comfortable
if you let April come and
do the interviews with you.
- You know what?
That's actually a good idea.
She got an eye for crazy.
(both laughing)
- She don't always get it right.
Remember?
- No, I don't remember.
- When we first met,
she was talking about I
had some type of crazy,
psycho look in my eye or something.
- [Claudia] Man, that's because y'all
had a steering contest.
- I'll never do it again.
(both laughing)
- April crazy.
But seriously though, I want
how baby to be just like you,
smart, funny, protective.
- Oh yeah.
- [Claudia] Yeah.
- Protective like a point guard?
- No, no baby everything is in my sports.
(Marcus laughing)
Look, believe it or not,
I'd rather have a doctor
than LeBron James.
- That's why you got me rocking
this Lakers jersey around everywhere.
(both laughing)
I'm watching you.
(both laughing)
- That's my second man.
- Oh, whatever, whatever, whatever.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Did you get those clean socks
I put in the drawer for you?
(gentle upbeat music)
- Socks.
Baby, where's that blue shirt?
The one that you like?
- It's in there.
You just gotta look.
- I didn't see it.
- [Claudia] You didn't look.
(both laughing)
- I found it.
- I knew you would.
- You do know I could cancel this, right?
I can finish this up next year.
- No, you've come too far.
You set out to be a fertility specialist
and now you're about to get certified.
And besides, it's not like
I'm having a baby next week.
- What did I do to deserve you?
- [Claudia] I don't know,
'cause I'm pretty amazing.
(Marcus laughing)
- How is your side feeling after the fall?
- I feel good.
- Was that the baby just kicking?
(Marcus laughing)
- [Claudia] Yep, kicking your ass out.
- Oh man.
Mm, okay, okay.
I guess I'll finish packing.
(car engines revving)
- You better get outta
here before you be late.
- Man, look, promise you going to call me
anytime, no matter what.
- Have I ever not called you?
- Right, right, right.
So I guess I'm doing this, huh?
- Yeah.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
(car engines revving)
You got it.
(car engines revving)
This is just.
(police sirens blaring)
- Unfortunately it's true,
Ms. Lewis escaped.
She breached prior
security and she got out.
There's no signs of her,
but we do have a nationwide
search going on for her.
- And how was she able to do that?
I mean, the last time I
heard she was making progress
and she was gonna be coming home soon.
- Well, from what I was told,
she was definitely getting better.
But then all this happened.
(people speaking indistinctly)
- I'm telling you,
detective, she not gonna stop
until she get her hand on somebody's baby.
(telephone ringing)
- You know Ben, I realize
that you two were married.
How was she the last time you saw her.
- I mean she was doing okay.
She was telling me how she
was ready to come home, man.
- [Jade] And?
- And now we was gonna
have a baby real soon.
- Well, have you noticed
anything odd lately?
- Man, hold on, she ain't
gonna come looking for me.
Now she.
- Look,
I wish I could rule
something out, but I can't.
Look, I've called the chief
of police of your town.
He'll be adding a few more patrol cars
to surface in neighborhood.
If she try to contact with you,
I need you to call me ASAP.
- All right, Detective, I'll keep an eye.
(telephone ringing)
(footsteps thudding)
(telephone ringing)
(dramatic music)
- You know you didn't have
to cook for me, right?
- It hold you up for a day or two.
Plus it is your favorite.
And girl, you need to eat.
You know what I keep thinking?
- Mm-mm, I don't wanna read your mind.
- We need to come up
with a list of questions
for the midwives so we
don't get caught off guard.
- Caught off guard?
Girl, we not hiring the damn CIA.
- Oh, it's way more serious than that.
This person will be helping
with the birth of your child.
- Only you can make a sweet midwife
sound like a damn Candyman.
- Claudia, she'll be with
you while you're sleeping,
when you take a shower, when you eat,
when you're changing your clothes,
when you are standing at
the top of the stairs.
And when you least expect it,
she'll come up from behind
you and grab you and.
- Are you done?
'Cause all of a sudden
now I'm more afraid of you
than the midwife.
- When are they coming anyway?
- Tomorrow.
- Okay, 'cause we need
to do a background check
on these people.
- I've already done that.
Look, let me read something to you.
"Midwife Care has the most
rigorous background checks"
"in the industry."
"Caregivers have to give a
fingerprint for the FBI database"
"and must be free of
criminal records."
"It's why we are trusted by OBGYNs"
"and top maternity
hospitals in the nation."
See.
- Okay.
- Is that enough?
Or are we gonna go have to
go through FBI with her page.
- We can do that?
- Girl, no, we ain't doing that.
(April sighing)
(Claudia laughing)
Just let it go.
- So have you and Marcus
talked about baby names?
You do know that names
are very important, right?
They can determine the future of a child,
whether they become a leader
or a teacher, or a healer
or a drug dealer.
- Why do you always gotta
take everything so far?
- Girl.
- How does the name Reynold sound?
- Oh hell no.
- [Claudia] What's wrong with that?
- He'll end up being called Ray
Ray and you don't want that.
- Oh Lord.
- I had an uncle
called Ray Ray, and he was full
of trouble and full of lies.
Well, look, I found a website
that lists names to avoid
that have bad nicknames.
Look girl.
- We don't need that.
Just look, see the thing
is, if we have a girl,
I don't wanna spoil any surprises,
but Marcus and I decided
we gonna name her April.
(April laughing)
- Are you serious, Claudia?
- Yes.
- Oh my God, you gonna
name your baby after me?
- I am.
I mean, how could I not name her
after the sister that I never wanted
but ended up with anyway?
- [April] Whatever.
You know you love me.
(both laughing)
- I mean, unless it's a boy.
- Uh-uh, uh-uh.
See if you have a boy,
I'm gonna kick your ass.
You better have a girl.
(both laughing)
Aw.
- We just thought it'd be nice
if we named after her godmother.
- Claudia.
- Yes.
- I'ma be a godmother?
- You gotta be a godmother.
- Oh my God.
(both laughing)
(alarm beeping)
- Ooh, ooh girl.
(people speaking indistinctly)
- You're gonna set my damn
house on fire. (Alarm beeping)
- [April] I can't believe
I'ma be a godmother.
Oh my God, this is so crazy.
I'ma be god mama
I'ma be a god mama
(both laughing)
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
- Okay, I think I'm like an hour early.
Should I go in?
Okay.
(car engine revving)
(dramatic music)
Oh I believe
One day
Hey yeah
(gentle upbeat music)
I believe in the future
I believe in the past
- That would be awkward.
So is this the new doctor plan?
You can bring to pass
All you need is focus
And a story to hold
- Girl, I'ma have to call you back.
Something just hit my car.
(gentle upbeat music)
Some day we'll make it
(birds chirping)
- Oh.
Oh my God, this is new.
(birds chirping)
Oh.
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
- I am so sorry.
Hey, you're lucky he didn't throw that
while you were in the car.
- What was it?
- I don't know.
It looked like some
bad kid throwing rocks.
He took off that way.
(glass crunching)
- [Midwife] You wouldn't happen to be here
for the midwife interviews, would you?
- I am.
Are you?
- Yeah, I'm an hour early though.
I guess that means you're next.
Good luck.
I'm about to deal with that.
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
- Do you need some help?
- Sure.
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
- My best friend.
Lots and lots
and lots and lots.
- April, April.
(people speaking indistinctly)
- [April] Oh she does.
How else will she
remember what's important?
Are you getting all of this?
- Yes.
So far I got clean sheets.
(midwife speaking indistinctly)
All the way up to bed rest.
- She heard me.
Good.
As the godmother and the baby's namesake,
I'll be watching you.
(dramatic music)
- I'm pretty sure we covered everything.
- [Cici] I got a question.
- Yes?
- [April] Girl, this better
not be about childcare.
- April,
can you please go get me a glass of water?
- Sure.
- [Claudia] Thank you.
(gentle upbeat music)
I've been dreaming about you
- I'm sorry about that,
what was your question?
- If you'll be needing me
overnight when the baby comes,
because there's a lot of mothers,
they need sleep at night.
- Actually we will.
Will that be a problem?
- [Cici] That'll work.
- Great.
I'm not sure if the
agency told you or not,
but we also need someone to
start as soon as possible.
- Okay, that'll work for me.
- Well, Cici.
It was nice meeting you.
- Ah, I'll be walking you out now.
Here you go.
- April.
- Right this way, honey.
- April.
- [April] Straight ahead.
- April.
- Thank you so much for coming.
Straight down the stairs.
(gentle upbeat music)
(singer vocalizing)
(gentle upbeat music)
Girl, I did not like her.
Did you see them little
hoochie mama shorts she had on?
She won't be walking around
my brother-in-law like that.
(glasses clanking)
(gentle upbeat music)
(singer vocalizing)
I just wanna
And I just wanna
- Hello.
It's so good to hear your voice.
Truth is
I just wanna
- I feel good.
I mean a bit tired, but I'm good.
Did you get settled in all right?
(gentle upbeat music)
You're supposed to be thinking about me.
Did I tell you April was here
with me doing interviews?
Truth is, I'm a little
bit hesitant
- She already ruined the second one.
- I heard that.
I, I, I, I feel you so close
I'm so sorry if I close up
- Yeah.
Just one more.
I just wanna
(gentle upbeat music)
- You know she is.
(Claudia laughing)
Marcus just ask me, "Was
she doing hand signals?"
(Claudia laughing)
- [April] He already know.
(Claudia laughing)
Truth is
I just wanna
I just wanna
I just wanna
- I will.
I love you too.
(gentle upbeat music)
- [April] "I love you too."
(gentle upbeat music)
- I just love that man.
(both laughing)
(police sirens blaring)
- Aha.
Yeah, I'm looking at it now.
Do you know if Ms. Lewis went
by any other name in the past,
any other name she might have used?
You know, I'm having a feeling
that she's not done yet.
She's gotta get her
hands on somebody's baby.
It's driving her every move.
Call all the maternity wards, all ERs,
children hospitals in the country,
send them a picture of Ms.
Lewis' face.
We need to stop her before
she gets anyone else.
(dramatic music)
(Parker knocking)
(door hinge creaking)
- Who are you?
- I'm so sorry.
My name is Erica Smith.
- Okay, Erica, who are you
and where's the other midwife
we're supposed to be interviewing?
- Tina.
- Yes, Tina.
- She has a death in her family
and had to go out of town last minute.
But the agency called me over
and I was fast over here.
- What agency?
- Midwife Cares?
- Have we met before?
- No, I'm new to town.
- You look very familiar.
- Unless you were visiting
Georgia, I don't think so.
- Come in.
Right up the stairs.
(April sighing)
(door hinge creaking)
(door thudding)
You can have a seat.
Erica, this is.
- [Parker] And you must be Claudia.
- Oh no, she didn't.
- Erica.
Erica.
- Yeah.
- Hello.
So you're Dr. James' wife?
- [Claudia] Correct.
- He must be pretty good.
I've heard so many great things about him.
- Yeah, he's pretty good at what he does.
- Are you a nurse?
- I'm a midwife by trade and also a nurse.
Hey, I believe it's
better to be overqualified
whenever it comes to these babies.
- So does that mean you
deliver babies as well?
- Oh yes, lots of normal births.
But what I'm really good
at are extreme situations.
- Extreme situations?
- Extreme situations?
- Oh yes, sudden births,
unexpected labors,
unplanned C-sections.
Those are rare, but I can handle
them all, I'm pretty good.
- [Claudia] Okay.
- Did the agency tell
you that Claudia fell
and she needs lots and lots
and lots.
- Bedrest?
Yes.
I've watched over lots
of moms just like you.
But don't you worry,
we'll work you through it.
The most important thing
is that you need to relax,
stay in bed and lower your stress levels.
- Okay, did they also tell you
that I need someone to start soon?
- [Parker] Tonight?
- Tonight?
- Tonight?
Oh, don't we need to talk about this?
- It was nice meeting you, Erica.
I'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
- [Claudia] Thank you.
- You can see yourself out.
Thank you for coming.
Right down the stage.
Thank you.
- She said tonight.
- We gotta talk about this.
What's wrong with you?
- She said tonight.
- We don't know who she is.
(people speaking indistinctly)
(door hinge creaking)
(dramatic music)
(Claudia laughing)
I bought you something.
- Thank you.
- [April] You're welcome.
You need to eat.
- Oh.
So what you think about today?
- Ugh.
- I thought Erica was really good.
- Erica?
- [Claudia] Yeah.
- Girl, you didn't pick up on
all the red flags with her?
- [Claudia] Girl, what red flags.
- She had a whole facial tick.
- [Claudia] Uh-uh.
- Yes she did.
Every time you rubbed your
belly, her face will tick.
It was real, real strange.
- I liked her.
- Ah, girl please.
I've seen enough Tubi movies to know
that when somebody comes into your home,
unannounced, with a facial tick,
oh girl shit's about to go down.
- [Claudia] On them Tubi movies.
- Yes.
(both laughing)
But seriously, you know, the
only reason I act like this
is because I love you right.
- I love you too.
- And I love my god-baby.
- [Claudia] I couldn't
have chosen anybody better.
- I know.
But girl, I gotta get outta here
'cause I gotta go to work tomorrow.
But I will be back to check on you, okay.
All right, girl.
Let me get you tucked in
because I know you not
gonna move off this couch.
- I'm not.
I don't know how you know, but I'm not.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Here's the remote.
Put it on Tubi.
(both laughing)
Bye girl.
- You and these Tubi movies.
- [April] Aha.
(both laughing)
(footsteps tapping)
- Guess I'll put it on Tubi.
(TV beeping)
"Induced?"
Oh, this looks like it's good.
Okay.
(singer vocalizing)
Oh, oh
Yay, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
(gentle upbeat music)
Oh
(gentle upbeat music)
I believe
One day
(gentle upbeat music)
I believe in the future
I believe in the past
I believe what you
truly desire
You can bring to pass
All you need is focus
And a story to hold
And a faith that you
can achieve
Once you sign your soul
Someday we'll make it on by
(Parker knocking)
- It's 9:30.
Who's that?
(car engines revving)
(door hinge creaking)
Hi.
- Hey.
Were you sleeping?
- I was.
Come in.
- Thank you.
(door hinge creaking)
- Where's your car?
- Car troubles.
I got dropped off.
- Oh, well at least you made it.
I heard there's a thunderstorm coming.
- I did too.
It's supposed to be pretty bad.
- Yeah, I know.
Okay, well your bedroom is downstairs.
Next to it is a restroom
and also a kitchen.
- Perfect.
- And if you need anything,
just let me know.
- All right, thanks so much.
- I'm going to bed.
(both laughing)
- Okay.
- Before you go to bed,
is there any way you can make me some tea?
- Most definitely.
Let's get you up these stairs
and I'll make you a fresh cup of tea
from a family recipe that I
can guarantee that you'll love.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic music)
Good morning.
- [Claudia] Morning.
- Hey, you okay sleepy head?
You slept like a baby and
I didn't wanna wake you.
- Yeah, I'm in a little
pain, but I'm fine.
- [Parker] Great.
- Did you sleep okay?
- [Parker] Well, yes.
After the hard bed.
Well, yes, I slept fine, thank you.
- Is that my dress?
- Oh, I,
yes, I was doing the
laundry and I seen it,
and I hope this isn't a problem.
- That dress is maternity.
I mean, it's way too big for you.
Look, just borrow
something else next time.
- Maternity's fine.
Plus it looks great on
me, don't you think?
- Yeah, sure.
- [Parker] Are you dressed to go?
(blender motor revving)
- [Claudia] Dressed to go where?
- To your appointment?
- Appointment?
- Mm-hmm.
For your sonogram.
- [Claudia] I can't have that.
The baby can't have any raw foods.
- Girl, do you know what
mothers drank back in the day?
Look, just drink up and I'm to go change
and I'll be back for
our appointment, okay.
(chair dragging)
- What appointment?
(shower water pattering)
(Claudia humming)
Me and you
(shower water pattering)
(Claudia humming)
(dramatic music)
(people speaking indistinctly)
- There we go.
There we go.
- Thank you.
- Ms. Claudia James?
- Yes.
- Any relation to Dr. James?
- Yeah, he's my husband.
- He's amazing.
He delivered both my sister boys.
And between me and you,
me and my husband are trying
for a girl and I want him.
- Can we move on here please?
I'm so sorry, we're just
so anxious to see our baby.
- Maybe you should wait outside.
- I'm good Claudia, I need to be here.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] I'm just gonna
lift your shirt a little bit.
- Okay.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] Are you okay?
- I'm fine, thank you.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] Is
that warm enough for you?
- Mm-hmm.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] Okay, Ms.
James,
there's your baby's head.
The arms in perfect
prime, healthy position.
When was your fall?
- A few days ago.
- Any sign that the baby's hurt?
- [Ultra Sound Tech] No.
In fact, your baby is perfectly healthy.
They're far stronger than
we give them credit for.
- Yeah.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] So don't worry.
- Okay.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] About the sex.
Do you wanna know today?
- No.
Actually Marcus and I wanna be surprised.
I mean, as long as the
baby is happy and healthy,
we're okay with that.
- [Ultra Sound Tech] Well, your
baby's legs are in the way,
so I can't tell the sex today anyway.
But other than that, everything is fine.
I recommend you continue with
bed rest, it really helps.
- Okay.
- Don't worry, I will not
let her out of my sight.
- Okay, great.
Well Ms.
James, everything looks fine.
I'll send these images
over to your doctor.
Y'all have a great day, okay.
- You too, thank you.
- Thank you, you too.
(Claudia sighing)
It's a boy.
I just, I just know it's.
- Erica.
- Stop.
This is not your baby.
And if you don't stand my
business, this isn't gonna work.
- Of course.
Let's get you home.
- Yeah, let's get home.
(dramatic music)
- All right, let's go.
Off your feet and up to bed okay.
- Got it.
- All right.
Today was a long day.
- Oh yes.
Tell me about it.
(cellphone vibrating)
- You okay?
- Yeah, just a second.
(dramatic music)
You responded to the text
message to April on my phone?
(dramatic music)
Yeah, this isn't gonna work.
(dramatic music) You gotta
get the hell outta my house.
- Do you know how easy it is
for me to toss your over these stairs?
- Have you lost your damn mind?
Let me go.
- I will kill you.
But the other reason I won't
is because you have my baby.
- Crazy bitch, this is my baby.
Let go.
(dramatic music)
- Sit down.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout
(dramatic music)
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out
(dramatic music)
Up came the sun and
dried up all the rain
(dramatic music)
And the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again
(dramatic music)
Da, da, da
(dramatic music)
- Please, please, you don't
have to do this, please.
Please, please, please.
Please don't do this, please.
What the fuck?
You crazy bitch, let me go.
What are you doing?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
What do you doing?
What are you doing?
(dramatic music)
- The only thing standing
between me and my baby.
- [Claudia] Please don't hurt my baby.
- Is your skin.
- Please don't hurt my baby.
Please don't hurt my baby.
Please, please.
- Then stop fighting.
- Please, you don't have to do this.
- You need to get it.
(Claudia crying)
The baby is mine.
And you need to accept that.
(Claudia crying)
- Please don't do this,
please, just don't, please.
(Claudia crying)
Please don't hurt me, please.
Please.
You don't have to do this.
You don't have to do this.
- [Parker] My baby needs peace and quiet.
- You don't have to do this.
I'm sorry.
Please, please, you don't have to do this.
- Now shut up.
(Claudia moaning)
(gentle upbeat music)
(singer vocalizing)
(gentle upbeat music)
- Let me call Bruce.
(car engine revving)
Hey, good morning Bruce.
How are you?
- [Bruce] Hey, what's up?
- Nothing.
You remember that background
check I had you do
on that guy I was dating?
- [Bruce] Huh, why you about
to swipe right on a crazy dude?
- No, nothing like that.
Her name is Erica.
She's working as a midwife for Claudia.
- [Bruce] Isn't Claudia still married?
- Not a chance in hell, Bruce.
Hang it up, honey.
- [Bruce] Anyways, is
that all you got on her?
No address, no college.
Shit, no horoscope sign or nothing.
- That's it.
All I know is she's black,
pretty and a damn Looney Tune.
- [Bruce] Is she single?
- Bruce, just work your magic.
And I'm about to send you a video.
I'll call you back later, I
have a proposal to finish.
Get on top of that for me please.
Okay, bye.
Thank you.
(car engine revving)
(dramatic music)
(door hinge creaking)
(dramatic music)
- Okay, Claudia, it's time for you to eat.
(dramatic music)
How are you feeling?
(dramatic music)
- You stupid bitch, you
not getting my baby.
(dramatic music)
- Open wide.
(dramatic music)
Come on, come on.
- Can you at least sit
me up so I don't choke.
You don't want your baby to choke, right?
(dramatic music)
- Of course.
(dramatic music)
Can I get some help here?
(dramatic music)
Just try some.
(dramatic music)
Eat.
Claudia don't tempt me.
(dramatic music)
Eat.
You see.
It wasn't.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
Eat Claudia, eat.
Chew it.
(Claudia crying)
My baby needs to eat.
And you'll not starve him.
(Claudia crying)
Good girl.
(dramatic music)
I'm not a mean person, you know.
It's your fault that I'm this way.
(Claudia crying)
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
(gentle upbeat music)
I used to stick around
Definitely not for too long
(gentle upbeat music)
But boy you got me fooled
And made me wanna
write this song
That old thing is
hard to say
Apparently I was wrong
(car engine revving)
And all the people say
(car engines revving)
(gentle upbeat music)
- Hey girl, I was just calling to see
if he wanted me to pick
you up something to eat
before I got there.
And I don't know why you
not answering the phone.
You know that makes me nervous.
Anyways,
I'll see you in a minute, bye.
(dramatic music)
- Look what I found.
You got a message, but I can't see it.
I need your face.
If you don't mind.
(dramatic music)
Look.
Open your eyes, Claudia.
Open your eyes.
(dramatic music)
(April knocking)
Shit.
(April knocking)
(dramatic music)
(April knocking)
- Help, April.
(April knocking)
(dramatic music)
(April knocking)
(door hinge creaking)
- Oh, Claudia's resting.
It's best if you come back later.
- Oh, I can wait.
- Of course.
As long as you don't wake her.
- Girl.
(footsteps tapping)
Excuse me.
(footsteps tapping)
(door hinge creaking)
(door thudding)
(footsteps thudding)
(dramatic music)
- [April] So how did
Claudia's sonogram go?
- Just perfect.
My baby, um,
it was perfect, it was fine.
Everything was fine, honestly.
- Mm-hmm.
(dramatic music)
(footsteps tapping)
Has Claudia been eating?
- Oh yes, like a horse.
One thing about those pregnant women,
they build up good appetites.
(dramatic music)
- That's funny, she hasn't
touched a pasta I made for her.
(cellphone vibrating)
(dramatic music)
I knew I recognized you.
You that crazy bitch from the nut house
that killed that man.
- Don't call me crazy.
- Girl, whatever.
Claudia, Claudia.
(dramatic music)
(pan thudding)
(dramatic music)
- April.
April.
(dramatic music)
- Get up.
- Where's April?
- Get up.
- Where's April?
- Get up.
- What did you do to April?
- It's Marcus.
It's Marcus, he's calling.
Okay.
Look at me.
Listen, you know what to do.
You mess this up or give him any hints
and I will cut the baby out.
So just go with the flow
and don't mess this up
Claudia, and I'll let you go.
I promise.
- [Marcus] Hey, are you okay?
I've been calling you all
day and you haven't responded
or called me back, it's unlike you.
- Hey, everything's fine.
No worries.
- [Marcus] Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm, I'm sure, I promise.
- [Marcus] Well, how's the midwife?
- She.
- Hey Marcus, how are you?
Claudia's fine, everything's
fine, the baby's fine.
She's actually about to express now,
so we'll call you back later okay.
All right, bye.
You see?
Wasn't so bad, was it?
Oh, I get it.
You're looking at me like you're wondering
why I'm doing this.
- Erica, I don't care.
- Erica?
Is that my name?
- What is your name?
- I'm gonna keep it sweet and simple.
I still think about that night.
- What night?
(gentle music)
- Hi, how are you?
- I'm sorry, but due to the incident,
you will not be able to bear children.
(gentle music)
I'm so sorry.
(gentle music)
- What?
(gentle music)
You.
You did this.
(Parker crying)
(gentle music)
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's
not true, it's not true.
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's
not true, it's not true.
No, no, no, no, no, not
my baby, not my baby.
Not my baby, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not my baby, no, no, no, no.
(Parker crying)
No, not my baby.
Not my baby.
No, no, no.
Not my baby.
(Parker crying)
(dramatic music)
- You bitch.
(Parker screaming)
(Claudia moaning)
- [Parker] Stupid bitch.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
(dramatic music)
(Parker groaning)
(pills clanking)
(glass thudding)
(water gushing)
(gentle music)
(water gushing)
(dramatic music)
(lighter clicking)
(dramatic music)
- I'm sorry, but due to the incident,
you will not be able to bear children.
(Parker panting)
(Parker crying)
(dramatic music)
- How to induce labor.
(dramatic music)
(keyboard keys clacking)
(dramatic music)
(keyboard keys clacking)
(dramatic music)
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
(dramatic music)
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
(dramatic music)
(Parker laughing)
Twinkle, twinkle
(dramatic music)
Claudia.
I colored a picture for my baby.
Do you like it?
Okay.
Okay.
Well I got these one in store too.
Do you like this one or
do you like this one?
(dramatic music)
That's fine.
We can decide later.
(blender motor revving)
Claudia.
Here.
Take it.
Thank you.
- What the hell is this?
- Castor oil.
We're inducing your labor.
Drink up.
- You're sick.
- Your choice.
Perhaps there are other ways.
I will take that.
(dramatic music)
(water gushing)
(dramatic music)
(water gushing)
(dramatic music)
(water gushing)
- Okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's time to get up, it's okay.
(Claudia crying)
It's time for me to get my baby, okay.
It's okay, come on, come on.
(dramatic music)
It's okay, it's okay, all right.
It's okay.
It's okay.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia groaning)
(Parker groaning)
(dramatic music)
(Parker groaning)
(dramatic music)
(Parker panting)
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
(dramatic music)
Just give it up Claudia.
(dramatic music)
I win and you lose.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
(dramatic music)
I want this baby.
(Claudia crying)
Yeah.
That's all I want.
All I want is my baby.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
This is easy.
(dramatic music)
This is my baby.
Mine Claudia, mine, mine, mine.
(dramatic music)
(Claudia moaning)
(dramatic music)
(both moaning)
(dramatic music)
(glass crunching)
(dramatic music)
(Claudia moaning)
(dramatic music)
(Claudia crying)
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
(Claudia crying)
I believe
That one day
- Where's she at?
(April crying)
I believe in
- Baby, baby.
I believe in the past
I believe what you can
truly decide
You can bring the pass
All you need is focus
And a story to hold
And a faith that you can
- Call 911.
Something
(ambulance siren blaring)
Either way, no matter
what people say
Either way
We gonna get
Some days we'll
make it on by
Some days
Other days we only can try
Either way no matter
what people say
Either way we're
gonna get by
I know that you can make it
- You look good.
- [April] I know.
I fell but I'm still fine.
(both laughing)
- [Marcus] Well, they did
another sonogram on the baby.
You want to know what I saw?
- Yeah.
No more surprises, I cannot handle that.
- [Marcus] Oh, well we'll be
welcoming our baby girl, April.
- [April] Oh.
- [Marcus] I can't wait.
- Hey April.
Don't come out like the other April.
- Right.
- Girl, this is what you want.
Auntie waiting on you.
(all laughing)
(Jade knocking)
- Dr. James, can I talk
to you for a second?
So I need to talk to you.
It can wait, but the more that
we know about Parker Lewis,
the better we can track her down.
- Like I told you, detective,
she was an old patient.
Her case was complicated and
the baby was a stillborn.
- Well that explains the
trauma but not her attacks.
- [Marcus] Attacks?
She's done this before?
- Of course, to another
couple that was expecting.
See, Parker Lewis was arrested
and serving time in a psych
ward when she escaped.
There's been a nationwide
search out for her ever since.
I just never considered
her own doctor as a lead.
- I remember Parker clearly.
I was the one who had broke it to her
that her baby was a stillborn.
We tried to prepare her
emotionally as best we could.
We even informed her that
we could induce the labor
so she can get on with healing.
But she insisted on going the full turn.
And I advised her that that
wouldn't be a great idea
to give false hope that
that baby would live.
- Well we found a vehicle four
blocks away from your home
with a body in the trunk.
Now we assumed that this is the midwife
that Parker Lewis killed.
This is now a homicide.
- Excuse me, Detective,
I need to get back to my wife.
- Oh, it's okay.
I have a phone call to make anyway.
