[music playing] ["rock-a-bye baby" playing] [baby cooing] [baby cooing on monitor] [tense music] [baby crying on monitor] Hey. Hi. [dog barking] Shh!
Shh! Shh! Shh! I'm taking the baby, and
you're coming with us. GUIDE: This is the
Student Services Building. If you decide to come
here as a freshman, this is where you will
register for classes. And this is Bunting Hall,
which was originally built to house the
Communication School, but in 1973, when the
Communication School moved to the east side of
campus, it became home to the fashion design program. Oh, Tenaya, check that out. It's like their end of
the year trunk show. We should go. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Looks like they're
hitting it off. I'm Karen, by the way.
- Elle. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Elle. I wanted to ask, has Tenaya
taken any of the SAT courses for prepping? Not yet. If you all follow me,
we'll head to your right and over to the
commissary for lunch. Angela changed her
mind, mm, 10 times about what she wanted to do. Hey, Mom. Would it be OK if Tenaya
and I went to grab some food at that kiosk that we passed? The one by the pavilion. Yeah, OK. Be back in 45 minutes,
and stay together. BOTH: OK. Amy, Laurie, Courtney, Alyssa. This actually works for you? Always. Bethany. Molly. I hope so. Jenna. Hey, I think those guys
are yelling out names. Oh, hey, did I say-- did I say Amber already? You ask like I care. Amber? Are you talking to us? I knew it was Amber. It's not Amber. So you're Amber. No. Is this what you do? You just call out random names
to every girl that walks by, hoping they'll stop? CURT: No, just the hot ones. Chad, come here. I'm Curt Matthews. And that dashing man
over there is Chad. This entire retarded
way of picking up girls was completely his idea. I'm Tenaya, and
this is Angela. That was actually
my next guess. Right. Hey. CURT: They were
just asking if they could sit with us while
they finished their lunch. Actually, we're
kind of in a hurry. Well, then the least you
can do is come to our party. It's going to be sweet. So what do you think, hmm? You guys going to ditch
your boyfriends and come hang out with us? It depends. Do you still remember our names? Tenaya and-- Angela. It was nice to meet you both. If Curt didn't scare you away,
hope to see you Thursday night. Maybe you will. How hot were those guys? TENAYA: College is
going to be awesome. ANGELA: Come on, Tenaya. I can't stop thinking
about that guy. We have to go to that party. TENAYA (ON PHONE): There's
no way my parents are going to let me go out with Curt. He's 21. What if we didn't tell them? You mean play it like we're
going to someplace else? They'll never know. Unless the party gets
busted, and we end up getting arrested or something. Please, T. Try getting
dumped like I did last month in a text, and you'll understand
my craving for male attention. He dumped you in a text? What a douche. I know! And I don't want to go alone. Besides, it's the same night
as that fashion show on campus. So we can go there,
grab a bite to eat, and then make an appearance. OK, fine. But we have to be
back by curfew. Absolutely. Don't stress. This will be fun. [upbeat music] GIRL: Hey.
- What's up, girl? Good morning. What is this? Did someone puke on the stairs? Yeah, it was
probably Dylan's chick. Oh! She was so wasted. Man. Well, if you guys are
going to have hoes over, just pick up after them. Relax, dude. At least it was out here. It wasn't inside. I'm sick of it. Hey, Chad. Check it out. I think your mom just pulled up. Lucky you. He pisses me off. Yeah, you piss me
off, too, jerk bag. Hi, honey. CHAD: What are you doing here? I had a Regents meeting
at the university, so I thought I'd drop
by, take you to lunch. Yeah? You came to check up on me? You thought there
was a chance that could be doing something
unbecoming of a councilwoman's son? No. Not at all. I haven't seen you
in over a month. I'm sorry. It's just, the guys
had a party last night. And I didn't get much sleep. Why don't you stay the
weekend at the house? No, I can't. I'll call you in
a couple of weeks when I'm done with midterms,
and we can get together for dinner or something. Sure. Talk soon? Yeah. KAREN: This is weird. What is? This deposit on the 5th,
your commission check? The bank must have messed up. You're $1,500 short. It's not a mistake. Dodson gave Fred Weiss
one of my territories. What? Why? I don't know. Because he's an ass? I guess Fred's
setting the bar now. This is permanent? What are we going to do? I mean, should I look
for something part-time? I don't know. I haven't even thought about it. We've got Angela's
school coming up. We have her car payment. I know. I am aware of our expenses, OK? I am not sure what
we're going to do yet. I wish I did. It's OK. [energetic music] What do you think? Hell yeah is what I think. Come on. ANNOUNCER (ON TV): It's a hard
hit, round the third, over to second in time, on first. A double play! How could college guys be this
much hotter than high school guys? Right? Where's that guy, Chad, though? Excuse me. Hey. Hi. Hey, you need a refill? Thanks. I'm Kristen, by the way. There he is. How long have you been a beta? Two years. Oh, great, he's talking
to some swimsuit model. Then my parents
were like, maybe you should just
consider grad school, but can I do this for
the next two years? Yeah, there's a guy over
there that wants your attention. We should go. Yes, come on.
- No. Yes, let's go! Let's go! OK. So you made it. Yeah, well, we didn't
want you to print up all those flyers for nothing. Where's your friend, Curt? Oh, he's over there. Yeah, you should
go say hi to him. I'm sure he'd be
thrilled to talk to you. Maybe I will. What about you? Thrilled to see me? Actually, I am. Do you want something
better to drink? [laughs] Yes. But first, where's
your bathroom? Over there. OK, be right back. So you're going to transfer-- So yeah, I'm going
to transfer here, but I'm still in high school. Transfer from high school? Yeah. So you're still
in high school? Yeah. Cool, so are you 18? No, I'm 16. Oh, awesome. I just got to-- stay put. Chad, where's your chick? Oh, Angela? She's in the bathroom. Why? Do you know how
old those girls are? Tenaya just told me they're 16. Yeah, I thought
she looked young. Uh-uh. Are you kidding me? It's not worth it, bro. 16 will get you 20. Sometimes it doesn't. ANGELA: Is that you as a baby? Yeah. You were so cute. I still am, right? You might be. Is that your mom? CHAD: Yeah. Wow. You guys look just alike. People always tell me
that, but I was adopted. Really? Yeah, it's a
pretty F'ed up story, so I don't really
tell it that much. You can tell me. Nah, I don't want you to think
differently of me or anything. I won't. Well, my real mom was murdered
when I was only two years old. And when the cops came to the
apartment where the body was, they found me locked
away in a closet. Oh, my God. That's horrible. Yeah, I don't remember
it or her at all. But anyway, I went to a
foster home for a few months. And that's when Lauren
and Frank adopted me. They got a divorce
when I was seven, so Lauren basically raised me. She's the woman in the photo. Chad, I'm so sorry. Did they ever find
out who killed her? No. They believed it might have
been my biological father. But no one could ever prove it. And no one ever
saw him after that. I guess people
thought my mom was a real sweet lady, kind and
generous and all of that. I guess that's why it's so hard
for me to find a girlfriend because I don't care
what a girl looks like or if she's in a
sorority or whatever. I just want someone with those
same qualities that my mom had. That doesn't make me
think differently about you. If anything, it helps me
understand you better. What, you don't
care that I'm broken? I don't think you're broken. [bell] [music playing] That was so sweet. Thank you for the card. I know it's early,
but what can I say? I like being the
first at everything. Listen, Toby is having a
pool party at his dad's place in Malibu this weekend. You should totally come. Oh, um, thanks for
the invite, but I can't. I already have plans. So break them. You never come out
with us anymore. Oh, god. What? I think I'm going to be sick. Uh, is there-- Ang? [retching] Hey, can you check on a
girl that just went in there? Uh, yeah, sure. ANGELA: [coughing] Are you OK? A guy out there wanted
me to check up on you. Yeah, I'm fine. I don't know what that was
all about, but I'm good now. Maybe it was
something you ate? Probably. I know I did get a
yogurt out of the vending machine this morning. Oh, that has to be it. The food in that vending
machine is disgusting. Yeah. Would you mind going
and telling that guy that he can go on to class? Sure. Good to know you're not
contagious or pregnant or something. Feel better. KAREN: I have a 16-year-old
daughter who's hardly home so I have a lot of extra time. And this just seemed
like the perfect fit. You really want
to wait tables? I mean, it's hard work. You've got to give up
holidays, weekends. Of all the part-time
jobs out there, why this? My husband's salary got cut. So we are desperately trying
to send our daughter to college next year after
saving enough money. And that's why I need
the part-time job. I don't have a degree. I've been out of the
workforce for 16 years, so I don't have any references
to prove that I'm a hard worker and all that, but I really am. And I promise your
customers will be happy because trust me, every
penny of those tips counts. ANGELA: What time is it? TENAYA: 4:30. All right, it's
been five minutes. Just look at it. What does it say? Maybe you should
take the other one. What the hell does it say, T? Just take the other one. Oh, my God. What am I going to do? CURT: Oh, that'll
look great on you. It's like the heart earrings
you got me for our anniversary. Gift for Angela? Yeah, her birthday. I think she'll probably
like a Barbie doll more. I'm just saying. Wow. [phone rings] Didn't he use a condom? I don't know. I mean, he said he did, but
I didn't ask him to show it to me, or, you know,
maybe it broke. I don't-- I don't know. This doesn't have to
affect you going to college. You have tons of options. My parents are
going to freak out. I can go with you to
tell them if you want. You're sweet, but I
think it should be Chad. You're going to
tell him first? Yeah, I mean, don't
you think I should? He is the father. I know, but he's not really-- What? Oh, what do you
think he'll say? I mean, you guys haven't
been dating that long. I mean, I've seen him every
weekend for the past three months. And he keeps telling
me he loves me. I'm just worried how your
parents are going to take this, given he's a lot older than you. Five years isn't
that big of a deal. I can't believe there's a
baby in my stomach right now. This feels like some sort
of parallel universe. Hey, babe. What's up? I'm pregnant. And you're 1,000% sure
that the baby is mine? Of course I'm sure. I'm not sleeping
with anyone else. That's incredible. Wait, you're happy about this? About having a real family? Why wouldn't I be? So you think we
should keep the baby. Of course. And I think we should
move in together, get a two-bedroom
apartment, and-- Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm
still in high school. So? I'm going to graduate
next year, and I'll easily be able to get a job that'll
support all three of us. You'll be able to go to college. This is amazing. It'll be perfect. This baby is a
product of our love. This is how it's supposed to be. You love me? Then let's do this. Let's raise this baby
together, you and me. OK. Yeah, let's do it. Well, let's celebrate.
Where do you want to go? I'll take you anywhere.
You pick. Here you are. Thanks, man. WAITER: Enjoy your meal. So I've been thinking
about some names. Ew. Look, my chicken's undercooked. Let me see that. Dude. Hey, come here. Come here. Yes, sir. What the hell is this? Huh? You're serving my
girlfriend raw chicken? She's pregnant, OK? What are you trying
to do, make her sick? I'm very sorry, sir. Let me get you a fresh plate. Yeah, why don't you do that? And actually pay
attention to how it looks before you serve it. OK, baby, calm down. Sir, I have
already apologized. I don't appreciate
your tone, OK? My tone is the problem here? I don't think so, dude. I think the fact that you just
served bloody frickin' chicken to a pregnant person
is the problem here. You know what? Why don't you eat it? Yeah, yeah, take a
nice big bite of that. Or don't you want
salmonella, huh? OK, sir, I'm not
going to charge you for any of your
meal, but I would like you to leave right now. No, look. We're not trying to
cause any trouble. CHAD: You're asking me to leave? Yes, sir, I am. Now please go before
I call the police. Yeah, go ahead! I'll call the health department
and have this crap hole shut down by tomorrow! I don't have to
put up with this. Come on. Let's go, let's go, let's go. Let's get out of here. I'm sorry. You know, my mother's on
the city council and the head of the Chamber of Commerce. OK? You messed with the wrong guy. Remember that, dickweed. ANGELA: I just didn't think
it was that big of a deal. Well, it was, all right? I'm sorry if I'm protective
of my pregnant girlfriend and unborn kid, but that guy
didn't even care that he could have given you food poisoning. Look, I'm sorry if I
embarrassed you, babe. It's just, I love you. And I don't want anything
happening to you, is all. I know you care about me. You know, if he gave me
food poisoning, who cares? But when it comes to you, I care
more about you and this baby than you even realize. That's what she wants
for her birthday, jeans? Yeah, designer jeans. $150 a pair. She's had her eye on
these for six weeks. She's going to be so surprised. $150. Material and labor
alone are 20 bucks. Yeah, but the rest is spent
on convincing the world they're worth 150. [door thuds] Hey, sweetie. You're home a lot earlier
than I expected you to be. Yeah. Hi, babe. Are you hungry? I thought they were
going to order pizza. They did. So, no, I'm not hungry. I think there's a
letter there for you. It's confirmation to your
entrance exam next month. Oh, great. Something wrong? No, no, I'm fine, just tired. Yeah, I think I'm going
to go start my homework. Where's your jacket? Oh, um, I must have
left it at school. You know, what did I
say about losing things? We can't afford to replace them. He's in a bad mood. Get the jacket tomorrow. Fine, I will. [scoffs] You came. Yeah. I can't stay long. TONI: Oh. Why not? I got a dinner later with Mom. Oh. I wanted to tell
you something, though. I'm going to be a father. What? Wait, are you happy? Of course I am. That's wonderful. I'm going to be a grandma. There's no way in hell
I'm going to bring him to prison so he can see you. Once you get out, we can
talk about how you can visit. So it's a boy, huh? I don't know yet. We just found out. Oh, well, you said him, so. No, I didn't. So I might be getting
out sooner than I thought. Yeah, the lawyer said I might
be up for parole next time. I did really good on
my drug treatment. It's so nice seeing you. How's school? School's school. And this girl, the one
that's carrying your baby, tell me about her. I've never loved anyone
or anything any more in my entire life. It's perfect. That's how I felt about
you the day you were born. I got to go, Toni. Let me know what the
parole board says, OK? Yeah, I will. Thank you so much
for coming with me. Yeah, of course. Is that him? Table for two? You again. Hi, my friend thinks she
might have left her jacket here last night. One moment. You can have your jacket back,
but your boyfriend is never allowed in my
establishment again. Look, I'm really sorry
about the other night. Here, we never got a
chance to pay for the food. I can bring you more
later if you want, but this is all I have. You seem like a sweet girl. You deserve a boy who
will treat you well. He does. He does. He's just overprotective
because he loves me so much. The way he treats
other people, one day, he will be that way
with you as well. Here. Come on, I'll take you home. Actually, will you
take me to Chad's? Are you sure? Yeah. I just-- I don't
know what to do. I mean, I am so confused
about everything right now. Well, there's nothing
to be confused about. I told you last night
why I freaked out, and it's because I can't
stand the thought of you or the baby being hurt. It makes me crazy. Hey, I have something for you. I wanted to wait
until your birthday, but I think now
is a better time. Every time you look
down at your wrist, you'll be reminded at
how much I love you. There's nothing to be sad about. This is happiness. I live to make you happy. Do you believe me
that I love you? Yes. And more importantly,
do I make you happy? Yes, you make me happy. This is where you live. Yeah. Thanks for the ride. And this. Oh, yeah. Oh, you deserve a
lot more than that. You deserve a nice pretty
ring on this beautiful, little finger. Someday. FRIENDS: Surprise! ANGELA: Oh, my God. KAREN: Happy
birthday, sweetheart. ANGELA: Thank you! Oh, my gosh! I can't believe you
guys got me these! Those are hot. KAREN: Yeah, you only
begged six months. Let me see what
the fuss is about. Where did you get
this sweet bracelet? I got it when T and I
were out shopping earlier. Yeah, no, it was on sale, and
I just thought it was so cute. I love it. Who's that from? Me. ANGELA: Ooh. My sister helped me get it. Honey? Oh, wow! Those look great! How do they fit? Perfect. Honey, is something wrong? No, no, I'm just still so
overwhelmed by everything you guys did. Thank you. Mm, you're welcome. You may be 17, but you
are still our little girl. And your father and I
are so proud of you. Thanks, Mom. I love you guys. Love you, too. I have to do the
breakfast shift tomorrow, so I'm going to hit the sack. OK, good night. Good night. TONI: Well, I'm not the same
person I was 16 years ago when I came here. When I first got here,
I blamed everyone else for being put here. Now I know the only
one responsible is me. I'm responsible for all
those people that got hurt and the man that got shot,
the fact that my son grew up without a mother. I finished high school. I completed my drug
rehabilitation. And I held a job, cafeteria. I'm going to be a grandmother. And I want to show up in
that child's life in a way that I just never
did with my own son. Toni Marshall? We've reviewed the progress
you've made and listened to the recommendations of both
the drug treatment counselor and prison psychologist. We believe you are a
good candidate for parole and thereby have
approved your release for the 31st of this month. Congratulations. Mom. She's usually here. Chad? Oh, hi, honey. I didn't know you
were coming by. Hey. Hi. This is my girlfriend, Angela. Oh. Oh, it's nice to
meet you, sweetie. Hi. I'll have Cora set up-- Cora! She'll put out another plate. Here, let me take your purse. Thanks. Do you want
something to drink? Water's fine. I have fruit punch. Yeah, she'll
have a water, Mom. Why don't you show
her the backyard? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a great view, so. Here's your napkin, dear. Thank you, Cora. So did you grow up around here? Uh, Sherman Heights. I have a friend who
teaches at Archstone High. John Woodward. Mr. Woodward, yeah,
I actually have him for geometry this semester. You're in high school? Angela and I have good news. We're having a baby. Can I talk to
you in the kitchen? Anything you can say to me,
you can say in front of Angela. It's better if we talk alone. [knocking] Hello? Hey, Mom. I just dropped by to
borrow the hedge shears. Alan wants him to plant
something in the backyard. Well, I didn't know you
were going to be here. Yeah, obviously. This is Ray. I'm Lauren's son. Hi, I'm Angela. Hi, Angela. Are you two-- Yes, we are. - Maybe it's better, you know--
- Wait a minute, Mom. Hold on.
Seriously? And there's nothing you
can say to split us up because guess what? What? We're having a baby together. Angela, how old are you? This is none of your business. So how many girls are
you going to knock up, huh? All right, that's it. Let's go. What is he talking about? Oh, you don't know. He can tell you. What a surprise. There's nothing to tell. You're just pissed because
Ellen is dying to have a baby, and you're shooting blanks. At least I'm not spending 30
grand to jerk off in a cup. Chad! You know, we could talk about
jerking off when your ass is sitting in prison
like your mom's is. That's enough, both of you. You know what? I don't have to listen to this. You can both go to hell. Angela, let's go. Mom, I don't-- Come on. Thanks for
dropping by, Angela. I'll talk to you. What is this about you
getting another girl pregnant? And your mom being in prison? You told me your mom died. That's a bunch
of typical Ray BS. Don't lie to me, Chad. If you have another
kid, I need to know. OK, there was another girl. An ex who got pregnant. She had an abortion. I didn't want her to, but
she did it behind my back. I was going to do the
right thing and marry her, but she didn't want that. Did you love her? Not the way I love you. Is your real mom dead or not? And that I lied about. She's been in prison
for armed robbery. I haven't seen or spoken
to her since I was five. Why didn't you just
tell me the truth? I don't know. Because I'm a private
person, you know? I'm not an open book. I don't let people in unless
I know I can trust them. But I know I can trust you. I know you won't hurt me. [phone rings] Hello? Oh, hello. I'm trying to reach
Angela Curson's mother. This is she. My name is Lauren Bruening,
and my son is Chad Bruening. Has your daughter, Angela, ever
mentioned Chad's name to you? No. I think we need to talk. He doesn't love you! If you cared about
anything besides himself, he wouldn't be sleeping
with a 16-year-old! That's not true. Then what are you going
to do at the end of the year when you're stuck with
the baby, and he's off doing his own thing? He's not going
to do that, Dad. You don't know
anything about him! I do know he's going
to have plenty of time to think about it while
he's sitting in jail. Jail? I swear, if you do anything
to get him arrested, I will run away and
you will never see me. All right, stop it, you two. Please, this is not
helping anything. Look, he is a
pedophile, Karen! Mark! No, he's not! Chad loves me a hell of
a lot more than you do. What? Give me a good reason why I
shouldn't take a baseball bat to this guy's head. Hey, I know you're mad. I am, too. Are you? Yes, I am! But if you put her in
a position to choose, we are going to lose her. Right now, she
needs our support. [knocking] I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to anyone. I swear, if Dad does anything
to get Chad in trouble. He's not going to. He's just very upset. I'm sure you
predicted he would be. But you guys don't get it. Chad's not like other guys. He's not going to leave
me once this baby is here. Tell me about him. You're not the type of girl to
fall in love with every guy you meet. There must be something
really special about him. He cares about me a lot. And he really wants this baby. You know, he's had
a rough life, and I know most college guys aren't
ready for a baby, but he is. But are you ready to be a mom? I think so. Can you understand why
your father is so upset, even a little? Your dad loves you more than
anything, more than me, even. What? That's true. Fathers love their daughters
even more than the woman they married. When you were born, the doctors
brought you over and handed you to him. And I don't think he'd
ever held a baby before. And he stared at you
for a few minutes. And then he said, I have never
been so happy and so scared at the same time. And I said, scared? Why are you scared? And he said, because for
the first time, everything I do matters. I disappointed him. No, you didn't disappoint him. He's scared of you getting hurt. And he wants the best for you. What should I do? Being a mother is the
most life altering decision you will ever make. So I think you need
to take some time and think about
what you really want without any pressure from Chad. CHAD: I'll call the
health department and have this crap hole
shut down by tomorrow! RAY: Well, how many girls are
you going to knock up, huh? You can both go to hell. ANGELA: If you have another
kid, I need to know. OK. There was another girl. There was another girl. I can't believe Lauren
told them, that bitch. Well, I mean, they were going
to find out sooner or later, so it doesn't really
matter who told them. So they don't want you
to see me anymore, do they? See? I knew it. We just need to take a break. Whose idea was that? Your dad's? I mean, we don't
really have a choice. If we don't do this, my dad's
going to end up throwing you in jail, and then we
can't be together anyway. Look, it's only temporary, OK? Once the baby is born-- No way. No, no. You need me. And I have a right to
see the birth of my baby. No, I want to go to doctor's
appointments and Lamaze class and all of that. I want to be a real dad. I don't know what to do. Leave. Move in with me. I can't move out. I'm 17. Then convince your
parents that I'm a good guy. Tell them I was adopted and
raised without a father. And I swore I would never
do that to my own kid. Just give it some time, OK? So you're not going
to go to bat for me? I have to go. It's my baby, too. You know that. Does that mean anything to you? Please let go of my arm. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just-- I would kill
for you and this child. That's how much I love you. I just can't. KAREN: Good night! See you tomorrow! CO-WORKER: Bye, Karen. Hi. Excuse me, are you Mrs. Curson? Yes. I'm Chad, Angela's boyfriend. If you don't leave right
now, I am calling the police. Whoa, whoa, whoa, why are
you acting like I'm dangerous or something? I just want to talk
to you, Mrs. Curson. We have to at some point anyway. I don't want your daughter going
through this pregnancy alone. She's not alone. She has me and her father. What you did was rape. You took advantage of a young
girl who had her whole life ahead of her. She still does, Mrs. Curson. I love your daughter, and
I want what's best for her. What's best for her is
graduating high school and going to college, not
becoming a mother at 17. Hey, hey, wait, wait. Look, I agree. You know, we should have waited,
but our child is not a mistake. OK? Our baby is going-- If you don't leave
my family alone, you're going to end
up sitting in prison. [energetic music] [laughter] Turn it down! Hey! Hey. Turn that crap down. What? Is it past your
girlfriend's bed time? You ass! I'm sick of hearing jokes
about my girlfriend! I'm sick of listening to
you with those nasty skanks! I'll throw you
over this balcony. Huh? Do you want to go
over this balcony? No, don't fight! Calm down! I'll turn it down!
- Chad! Let him go, all right? Get off me! What happened? He's psycho. I want him out. Hey, Angela. What are you doing here? I just want to talk to you. There's nothing more to say. And by the way, you
made a huge mistake going to see my mom at work. My dad was furious
when he found out. I can't just give up on you
like you didn't mean anything. Can you just go? All right? I have to go to class. Hey, Ang, are you OK? Mind your own
business, douchebag. Douchebag? Yes, Trent. Everything's OK. Just go. I'll see you later, OK? Who's he, your bodyguard? All right, look, you're
starting to make a scene. Can you just go? Here, just-- just take this. Promise me you'll read
it, and I'll leave. Fine. CHAD: I love you. [inaudible] Sure. WOMAN (ON PHONE): So tomorrow
looks good for brunch. Shall we meet at the same place? LAUREN: Uh, call you
back in a few minutes. WOMAN (ON PHONE): OK. Toni. Your place looks real nice. She's obviously doing a
real good job of cleaning. What are you doing here? I wanted to say thank you
for everything that you've done for Chad. I know how
appreciative you are. And I thought maybe I'd
come work for you again, you know, like I used to and
you wouldn't have to pay me. You'd just gave me a
place to live again. You know, I'd be close
to Chad and the baby. I don't think
that's a good idea. I'll clean. I've been cleaning
for six years. I think it's great you want
to be a part of Chad's life. I think you should. But I just-- I can't
have you back here. I can't. Sorry for wasting your time. Thank you for everything
you've done for my son. I figured you
must have liked it. You wanted to see it again. I'm going to get a new
lock for this door here. Yeah. Are there any
preschools in the area? I wouldn't know about that. But there is an elementary
school about three blocks down, and of course, the high school
right across the street. [phone rings] Yeah, yeah, I'm
familiar with that. Would you excuse
me for a moment? Yeah, yeah, sure. I told you, the garden
shears is outside-- Listen, I gotta finish this up. I'll call you back in a
couple of minutes, OK? Well? Yeah. Oh, it's great. I'll take it. Wonderful. You didn't happen to bring
three months' worth of paystubs, did you? Actually, I'm a
college student. I don't have a job. That's fine. That's fine. You just need to get a parent or
a grandparent to sign for you. Let's go down to my office. You can fill out the
application and take it with you for a signature. [phone rings] WOMAN (ON PHONE): Mr.
Curson, line three. Mark Curson. Hello? You probably don't want to
talk to me, but you need to. Who is this? I'm the guy your
daughter's in love with. Chad. That's right. And all I'm asking is that
you sit down and talk to me, man to man. Well, let me tell you
something about being a man, Chad. Men don't date 16-year-old
girls, and they sure as hell don't get them pregnant. Look, I'm trying to take
responsibility for that if you let me. I can take care of Angela. No, you can stay the hell
out of our lives forever. Listen, I'm going to
tell you something that you need to take to heart. Do not contact my
daughter or my wife again, or I'll beat your ass so bad you
won't even recognize yourself in a mirror. You got that, big man? That's right, you
little bastard. [sighs] WOMAN (ON PHONE):
Walderson Textiles. Mark Curson. WOMAN (ON PHONE):
One moment, please. MARK: Mark Curson. If you got something to say-- CHAD (ON PHONE):
The baby is mine. Angela is mine. And there's nothing you can do
about either of those facts. You think it's that
easy to get rid of me. Walderson Textiles. Mark Curson. 37 times! Tech support had to put a
block on his cell phone. You know what he did after that? He went around the
corner, and he called me from a gas station. You're kidding. No, I am not kidding! Dotson came into my office
and told me to make it stop. Do you know how bad that looks? That's not even the worst part. Do you know what he told me? He told me that
you belong to him. Dad, I'm sorry, all right? I told him to quit. Wait, you're still
talking to him? He showed up at school. He keeps on leaving
me notes on my car and telling me how
much he loves me. OK, that's it. I am getting a
restraining order. Dad, don't. Why are you protecting him? I'm not. Look, I think it'll
just make him mad. I'm going to
talk to his mother. Maybe she has some sort
of influence over him. Karen, I understand. I really do. It's completely unacceptable
that a 21-year-old man would sleep with a 16-year-old girl. Then you understand
we have to do what's best for our daughter. Absolutely. Karen, I want to thank you
for not going to the police. We will, though,
if he continues this obsessive behavior. Of course. I know he's had a rough time. Angela said that you adopted
him after his mother went to prison? Toni, yes. She was recently
released, having served 16 years of a 25-year sentence. For what? She and her boyfriend
needed drug money, and they robbed a
convenience store. Chad was four at the time. How did you come to adopt him? Toni was our cleaning lady. She always used to bring
him with her, so I knew him. He was a sweet, sad, little boy. If I hadn't taken him in, he
would have gone to foster care. Hey, Mom. I need you to sign
something for me. I found an apartment
the other day, and-- what's going on? Why is she here? I don't want you to be upset. You can talk to my mother,
but you can't talk to me? Chad, you need to stop
harassing these people. Harassing them? I'm cut out of the
life of my child. And I'm harassing them? I have paternal rights-- Stop. You leave these people alone
until that baby is born. They are willing to
discuss visitation. Screw that. He's mine. I get to make those decisions. No, Chad, you don't. You two are going to be
sorry for trying to split up me and Angela. It's not right. Better get that
restraining order. Sheriff's Department. May I come in, please? I'm looking for Chad Bruning. Hey, Chad. What's going on here? Chad Bruning,
you've been served. What is it? You really thought a
restraining order would keep me away, huh? Get out of here. Not until we talk. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm just really pissed
about the restraining order. You said your dad
wouldn't do that. I said that my dad
wouldn't throw you in jail. You called his
office over 20 times. What did you think
was going to happen? I just wanted to explain to
him that I can take care of you and the child. Hey, I found an apartment. I want you to come
with me after school. I want to show it to you. I can't go anywhere with you. You're not supposed to
be within 300 feet of me. You're scared of me. They're brainwashing
you to make you think that I'm the bad guy here. Kiss me. Hmm? Please, let me just pick
you up after school. I can't today. I have a doctor's appointment. CHAD: Tomorrow then. Yeah, maybe. I'll call you. Cool. You look beautiful, by the way. TENAYA: You have to tell
your parents Chad violated the restraining order. He'll go to jail. I mean, my dad wants
nothing more than to see him behind bars. Which is where
he deserves to be. Are you OK? ANGELA: Yeah, I'm fine. TENAYA: Look, for
what it's worth, I think your dad was right
when he said it was bad idea to let Chad near the baby. The irony in that
is my dad was never around when I was a kid. And, you know, here's
a guy who wants to be a father more than anything. Look, he's violent and creepy. I mean, you don't want
your kid growing up to be a nutcase like he is. Whatever. It doesn't matter. I mean, there's no way my dad
is going to let him anywhere near my baby. TENAYA: I mean, I cannot
believe he did that. ANGELA: I know. What are you doing here? Hey! A little help over here. Break it up, you guys.
Come on. Come on, you guys. Break it up, break it up. You can't keep
her away from me! You can't! There's nothing you
can do about it! I'll never give up! Never! There's nothing you
can do about it! She and the baby
belong to me, to me! Are you going to just
leave me in here? You can't be serious. If I bail you out now,
I know what'll happen. You'll go after that girl
and her family again. No, I won't. I can't, not this time. You knew you weren't supposed
to have contact with them, and you violated the
restraining order. Please, Mom. But why? Just wait till your court date. Get out of here! Hi. Hi. Here's the curtains that
I always wanted to get. I love them. I just got a new mobile, too. Isn't it great? Yeah. KAREN: With that
ladybug light behind it. That's going to be so cute. ["rock-a-bye baby" playing] [baby gurgling] I'll provide for all of us. It'll be the four of us
living the life that you never got to live. And you'll go back to school. You'll take care of the baby. We'll go to the
zoo and on picnics. Don't you want that? You know I do. Then help me, Mom. Because I can't do
this without you. When do you get out? Two weeks. So what first? I want to see my son. OK. [tense music] CHAD: Let's do it tonight. OK. [baby cooing] Yeah, yeah. Hi. Wow, Mom! You look hot.
- Thank you. Sure does. Maybe we should
skip the banquet. Ew, Dad! Not in front of Josh. All right, we're not going
to be too late, although we are right now. OK, go. Don't rush home. Trent's coming over to
watch a movie, anyway. Oh, that sounds like fun. I'll keep the cell phone on
in case you need anything. OK, we'll be fine. Goodbye, sweetie. Bye. All right! Looks like it's
just and me, dude. [baby crying on monitor] Hey! Hi. I'll be right back, sweetheart. [baby cooing] Hey. Shh, shh, shh, shh. I'm taking the baby, and
you're coming with us. Let's go. One minute. Pack whatever he needs. You try anything,
Ang, and I'll kill you right in front of our child. You got that? Hey. Hush, baby, don't cry. Don't cry, baby. I love you, baby. I love you. Is that it? No, he needs
formula and diapers. Then frickin' get them. Oh, baby. The formula's in the fridge. OK, let's go. There's a car around the corner. We all walk together,
nice and slow. [baby crying] Shh, shh, shh, it's OK. OK, get in. Shh. Who is she? That's Toni. You can call her Mom. Where are we going? We're going someplace we can
raise our son without anyone else trying to interfere. ANGELA: Where's that? You'll see. [crying] I know how to
take care of babies. He's fine. No, he's not fine. Give him to me.
He probably wants his bottle. He's fine! I know that you're scared right
now with the gun and all that, and I'm sorry. It's just the only way I
can get you away from them. I didn't have a
choice, you know. Yes, you did. I had a place lined
up and everything. You could have come with me. It wasn't that easy. [microwave beeping] Hey, Ang! Angela? Angela? I thought about you a lot. I thought about you,
too, how you're feeling, what you must look like. I wanted to be there for
the birth of my son so bad. I know you did. Your father was such a jerk
to take that away from me. I didn't think you'd come
back for us, but you did. I promised you I would. [phone rings] Angela. Hi, honey. Hey, it's Trent. Is Angela with you? No. I'm at your house. She and Josh aren't here. I found her purse and phone,
and the back door was unlocked. Her purse is there? TRENT (ON PHONE): Her
purse, phone, everything. And the door was unlocked? Yeah, she knew I was coming. She would have called
me if she would have taken Josh somewhere. OK, you stay there. We're on our way back. I'm going to call the police
and have them meet us there. I'll stay put. Oh, my God. ANGELA: What if they
come looking for us? Where we're going, no
one will ever find us. How can you be sure? I found a cabin
up past Big Bear. It's so remote, no one's
been there for years. Well, how will we get the
stuff that we need for Josh? I mean, like
diapers and formula. Yeah, I got
enough of that stuff to last us for three months. And I got us a PO box so we
can order stuff online and have it delivered. Oh. Trust me, babe. I thought of everything. [phone rings] Hello? Lauren, this is
Karen and Mark Curson. Angela and the baby are missing. What? We think Chad
might be involved. Have you seen him
since he was released? No, he's not released. We just talked to the police. He was released five days ago. You didn't know that? Oh, my God. Do you have any idea
where they might be? No. Look, if there's anything
else I can answer for police-- Look, we're headed back
to the house right now. The police will be there. Right, right. [baby crying] What's wrong with him? Uh-uh, there's
nothing wrong with him. He's teething. I have some ointment. I must have left it
at my parents' house. Is that a big deal? No, I mean, not if
we stop and get some. We need to go to some sort
of, like, convenience store or all night pharmacy. Yeah, we'll just put
a cold cloth on him when we get to the cabin. It won't work. The doctor says that he needs
a particular kind of ointment. We need to stop. I don't know. He's in pain, babe. We can't just ignore it. Don't do it, Chad. She's lying. I'm not lying. I know my son. You are playing him. What are you talking about? I see exactly what you're
doing, trying to convince him that you care about him
until he stops the car, and then you're
going to take him and you're going to take
off running, aren't you? That's ridiculous. He's the father of my child. She's trying to take
your baby from you. She can try
anything she wants. No one's taking Josh from me. But if you stop
this car, she's-- Shut up and mind
your own business. So besides the diaper
bag and the supplies, is there anything else missing? I mean, money,
valuables, anything? Not that we're aware of. You know, we were supposed to be
notified when he was released. Yeah, you should
have been, sir. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mrs. Curson. If I just went over earlier,
I could have done something. It wasn't your fault. Karen. Oh, I'm so sorry. Excuse me, ma'am. Who are you? I'm Lauren Bruning,
Chad's adoptive mother. And when's the last
time you saw Jeff? At his sentencing. Listen, there's something
I have to tell you. What is it? I think Chad came to my
house and took my handgun. [gasps] POLICE: You need to
radio to all units that our suspect should be
considered armed and dangerous now. Chad, I'm trying
to protect you. It's a mistake to
trust her right now. Now you want to protect me? Look what you did. You're upsetting the baby. OK, Chad, just listen to me. Listen to what? You trying to convince
me you know what's best? You don't know anything
about anything, Mom! You were too busy shooting
heroin to even know how to raise a son. OK, I know-- I know I let you down. Let me down. Let me down. You know, skipping
out on a graduation or forgetting a birthday
is letting someone down. You gave me away, Mom. I wanted you to
have a better life! That was a life I
couldn't give you! Because you're too busy
robbing liquor stores and getting high. I hate you, Mom. And I've hated you
my entire life. I'm doing whatever I can to
make it up to you, whatever I can. I want what you want! I want this family. I want to raise my grandson. The ointment will stop
the baby from crying? Yes. OK. I'll stop at the
next store we see. How can this be happening? They're going to be OK. Oh, my god. Oh, right there. There's a convenient store. Hurry up, let's go. Good, let's go. Good, come on. Uh-uh. Um, can we get
something for me, too? I have a killer headache. What are you doing? I thought you needed
something for your headache. Yeah, well, I, uh-- I need vitamins. You know, I mean, everything I
have is at my parents' house. Uh, babe? How much further? An hour, why? Well, 'cause I have
to go to the bathroom, so I was thinking I should
probably go now before we leave. No. Babe, I really have to go. Two minutes, OK? I know, I hear you. OK, they'll be back
in just a minute. Just-- just hurry up, OK? Come on, come on. My girlfriend's in there, OK? Hurry up, Angela! Oh, one second. I'll be right with you. Hey, uh, Chad? Is there a fireplace at
the cabin in Big Bear? Like, do we need matches
or a lighter or anything? Put it back. We're in a hurry, bro. Come on! Sorry about that. The owner gets mad if I don't
keep those shelves stocked. You know this is
for babies, right? Our son, Josh, is in the car. All right, all right. Come on. Let's go. Come on. How much is it? $17.52. Here's 20. Oh, wrong one I-- I think I got to-- Yeah, you know what?
Forget it. All right?
Forget it. Just keep the change.
Let's go. Come on, come on. Don't move! Cops are on the way. [gunshot] Angela, Angela, shoot him! Shoot him! Please don't. Don't let them take me. I love you, Angela. I just want Josh. All I want is you and Josh. That's all I've ever wanted. [baby cooing] Baby, hey. Hey. Shh. Can you bring me my son, please? He's my son. Ahh! Give me Josh. Please bring me Josh. What happened? What did you do? What did you do to my son? It's OK, baby. It's going to be OK. How could you shoot him? He's my son! OK, OK, hang on. Breathe in. Would you call for help? Call someone! OK, OK. Hang on. Help is coming, OK? Just hang on. CHAD: Give me him! TONI: Just breathe. It's OK. CHAD: Josh. Hang in there. It's OK. CHAD: Josh. Josh. [music playing]
