03:24Carrie!
03:28Stop!
03:29All right, everybody please just listen for a second.
03:32We all need to look for Beth Carrie's little boy.
03:35His name is Ben.
03:36He's three.
03:37He was wearing a red baseball cap.
03:39Now he was just here a second ago.
03:41So if you would all look around where you are.
03:43Okay, wait a minute.
03:44Hold on, folks.
03:45We're going to find him, Beth.
03:46We're going to find him.
03:47I'm going to divide the room right down the middle, okay?
03:48I want each of you to stay in your half and look around you.
03:51If you see Ben, you pick him up and you call out to me, all right?
03:54We'll get him.
03:56This way.
04:07Will you tell me when Ben gets back?
04:09Mom?
04:10She'll tell us, okay?
04:11I won't be long.
04:12Sit down, sweetie.
04:13Okay.
04:15I'm sorry, do you have any other pictures of Ben?
04:19My purse, I lost my purse.
04:20No, no, no, I have it, honey.
04:36Ben!
04:38It's okay, honey, it's okay.
04:40Ben!
04:41It's okay, honey, it's okay.
04:42Ah!
04:43Shut her down!
04:44Ah!
04:45Ben!
04:46Grab her, I'll hold her down.
04:47It's okay, honey, it's okay.
04:48Ben!
04:50Ben!
04:51It's okay, honey, it's okay.
04:52Come on, come on, give her something quick.
04:53Come on.
04:55It's all right, sweetie.
04:56Ben!
04:58It's okay, it's okay.
04:59I know, I know.
05:01You don't know.
05:02I don't even know.
05:15Ah!
05:16Ah!
05:17I got it!
05:18Ah!
05:19I got it!
05:20I'm so sorry.
05:21You have the biggest snarl right here.
05:22No, wait, wait, Carrie, Carrie, Carrie, just run away.
05:23Ah!
05:25Carrie?
05:30Carrie?
05:32You in sixth?
05:33Yeah.
05:34You're in third.
05:35You were the soybean, right?
05:36Actually, I was the peach corn.
05:38So who do you have?
05:39Cook.
05:40Yeah, I had Cook.
05:41She's pretty decent.
05:46Mommy?
05:50Are you okay?
05:52Yeah, I'm fine.
05:54I was just dropping off my phone number in case you guys needed your lawnmower, but I guess I'll come back later.
05:59No.
06:01Wait, I really do need my lawnmower.
06:04Could you do it today?
06:05Yeah.
06:07Sure, great.
06:08I'm just going to go get my stuff.
06:09I live like two blocks down there.
06:10We don't need them all.
06:11We have them all.
06:12My brother's supposed to do it.
06:13He's in high school.
06:14He's real lazy.
06:15Do you know that boy?
06:17Mommy, it's not really talking to strangers if you're in your own house.
06:20Yeah, I know.
06:21That's true.
06:22Do you know his name?
06:24It's, uh, Jason.
06:25He's on patrol.
06:26No, wait, wait, wait.
06:27Mommy, I'm wrong.
06:28Jason's the kid with the beanie hat.
06:29You know he got reported?
06:30You don't know his name?
06:32It's, uh, Sam.
06:33Sam Kiro.
06:34Kiro something.
06:40I know it sounds insane, but I don't know if it's him for sure.
06:43I don't know what I am.
06:45I mean, it can be Ben, but it's Ben.
06:50Isn't it?
06:55I say we go in.
06:56The boy's in protective custody, Candy.
06:58We got an unmarked-on maple in front of the suspect's house.
07:01We snatched the kid from the school.
07:02The principal is probably going to call the father.
07:04What are we waiting for?
07:05Mr. Capoduro, there's a process involved here,
07:07and it's not like you're going to be bringing your boy home today.
07:10He's going to have to go to foster care.
07:12He's going to need counseling.
07:13There'll be a period of transition.
07:15And anyway, we want to make sure we ID the boy 100%.
07:18Look at the picture.
07:19It's the same kid.
07:20It's Sam Harris.
07:21Look, Candy.
07:22Candy, don't go off half-cocked on me.
07:23This is a big case,
07:24and it wouldn't be any harm in getting a little thing like a warrant.
07:27I got the warrant.
07:29I talked to the DA.
07:31Bliss.
07:37The fingerprints match.
07:41You folks, um...
07:43You folks ready for this?
07:46You don't get to be ready for this.
07:57George Karras?
07:58Yes.
07:59What's wrong?
08:00I'm Detective Candy Bliss.
08:01Do you have a 12-year-old boy named Sam living in this house?
08:04Yes, I do.
08:07Oh, my God, my son. Is he hurt?
08:08No, he's fine.
08:09He's in the custody of protective services of Cook County.
08:12Well, what are you talking about? He's at school.
08:14Mr. Karras, you are under arrest for kidnapping.
08:16What?
08:17In connection with the abduction, June 3, 1988, of Benjamin Cappadora.
08:20What are you talking about?
08:22You do not have to talk.
08:23What you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
08:25You've got the wrong house.
08:26If the people had lost their boy, they'd live around the corner.
08:29You're just over-andromic.
08:31No, no, no.
08:33My neighbor, she knows the family. This is a big mistake.
08:36Mr. Karras, do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?
08:38Of course I do.
08:39Can we come in?
08:40Sure.
08:41We have a warrant to search the premises.
08:43Am I stepping over here, sir?
08:44Look, this is a big mistake.
08:45You don't have any guns?
08:46No, I don't have any weapons, sir.
08:47Then you won't mind if the officer searches here, right?
08:49I didn't do anything. This is my house. I was just doing the books, for God's sake.
08:52I mean, I don't even understand why you people are here.
08:55That's Cecil.
08:59That's Cecil Lockhart.
09:01You know him from television?
09:04Why do you have a picture of Cecil Lockhart?
09:06Why?
09:11She was my wife.
09:16So, Cecil gave birth in 1985, which is the same year Ben was born.
09:20Apparently, the baby had complications and died.
09:23She had a nervous breakdown. They had to put her away.
09:26She got out about three years after that, just in time to make it to the reunion where she saw Ben and snatched him.
09:32And she disappeared into Minneapolis, where I guess she met George and married him.
09:35He adopted Ben.
09:37And then they moved here.
09:38And about five years ago, she committed suicide.
09:44You know, I gotta tell you, I feel totally responsible for a lot of what's happened.
09:49Yeah, because we interviewed this woman.
09:52I sat in this woman's house. I had tea with her.
09:55And somewhere in there, you know, was Ben.
09:57And I missed him.
09:58Listen, Candy, George Karras wasn't the slightest bit suspicious, and he adopted Ben.
10:02So she lied to her husband.
10:04She lied to me.
10:06I'm supposed to know when people are lying, because I'm a super cop.
10:11I didn't find him. You guys did.
10:14No one found him.
10:16He found us.
10:21Night, Karen.
10:22Night, Mom.
10:28Do you wanna leave the light on?
10:29No, I don't sleep with the light.
10:31Okay.
10:33Do you want an extra blanket or anything?
10:36I'm okay.
10:38Okay.
10:42Bowls are home tomorrow. Wanna go?
10:46Okay.
10:50Good night.
10:59Good night.
11:04I think I'll put an extra blanket in there just in case.
11:06Okay, honey, if he needs a blanket, I'll ask for it.
11:08No, honey, he doesn't know how cold this house gets. I'll just go...
11:10Becky, Becky, please, relax, honey. Okay?
11:12Relax, he's home.
11:13Oh, God.
11:14He's home.
11:15I just wanna go in and look at him.
11:29I know, but I already told you, that's why I wanna go to my grandma's.
11:31Because it's what I do every year for Thanksgiving, every year of my life.
11:34Sam, it's a very special day for us.
11:36Well, yeah, it's a very special day for us, too.
11:38I mean, my cousins come, and my grandma cooks, like, the whole week before.
11:42And then after church, we can go outside and play football.
11:44And then when we come inside, we have pie and watch TV with my dad.
11:47Look, Sam, I don't want to go.
11:48I don't want to go.
11:49I don't want to go.
11:50I don't want to go.
11:51I don't want to go.
11:52I don't want to go.
11:53I don't want to go.
11:54I don't want to go.
11:55I don't want to go.
11:56I don't want to go.
11:58Look, Sam, the whole family is coming.
12:00Grandma Rosie's coming, Grandpa Angelo.
12:02No, I'm not staying here.
12:05Why am I supposed to care about these people?
12:06You know, you guys never even met my grandma.
12:08And you don't like my dad.
12:09You don't even care about what he thinks.
12:11Of course, we like George, Sam.
12:13Yeah, if you really liked me, let me spend Thanksgiving with him.
12:15Look, Sam, the fact is, you're our son, not George's.
12:19There are some things we're gonna do as a family, and this is one of them.
12:22And it's not negotiable.
12:23You just wanna show me off.
12:27Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.
12:41Sam?
12:48Bethy? Honey?
12:49What?
12:50Sam's gone.
12:51What? What do you mean?
12:52He's not in his room. I can't find him.
12:54Did you look downstairs?
12:55He's not there. I cannot find him.
12:56Did you talk to Vincent?
12:57He's asleep. His door's still locked.
12:58What about Carrie?
12:59She's asleep, too.
13:03Vincent!
13:12I'm sorry you did it again.
13:16What did he do?
13:17He's been sneaking out at night and coming over to my house.
13:19He just crawls into his old bed and sleeps.
13:22Vincent told me you knew all about it.
13:26You knew?
13:27I brought him back, didn't I?
13:29Sam, how long has this been going on?
13:31Not that long.
13:33I had a feeling something was wrong, so this time I brought him back myself.
13:36You knew about this all along and you didn't tell me about it?
13:38He's home, okay, Dad? This time, anyhow.
13:43Sam, go up to your room.
13:44Why should I? What did I do?
13:45You ran away. And you scared the hell out of your mother and me. That's what you did.
13:49That's not gonna happen in this family. Do you understand me?
13:51No, I don't understand. I'm sick of this whole thing.
13:53Sam, listen.
13:54No, I don't see why I have to live here two blocks away from my own house.
13:57I have been trying for three months.
13:59Three months.
14:01Now, you want me to come home, Dad, right?
14:03Come on, tell him.
14:07He's been asking me why can't he live with me.
14:10I've been telling him that what his mother did was very wrong.
14:12But she didn't know what she was doing.
14:14She was sick.
14:17Look, Sam, we know how hard this has been for you.
14:19We know how much you miss George.
14:21But this is your home.
14:23Sam, go upstairs now.
14:26I hate you. I hate all of you.
14:28You too, Dad, and I'm never coming back.
14:35Jesus, I want to do right by him.
14:38I want him to be happy.
14:40And if you guys can give him the family he deserves, well, then God damn it, you give him that.
14:46But I gotta tell you something. I've never seen him like this before.
14:49He's never been sad more than a day in his life.
14:52Right now, he's the saddest boy in the world.
15:15You know, what happened last night, that's just the tip of it.
15:23Bethany, I'm gonna say this just once.
15:25I love you.
15:27I've been in love with you your whole life.
15:30But you know what I've seen about you?
15:32What?
15:33You've made a career out of being unhappy.
15:35That is not fair.
15:37But I'm not like that. I mean, if I have a chance to be happy, I'm gonna be happy.
15:42Can't you just try and let us all be happy?
15:45What about Sam?
15:46Just keep being a mother to him.
15:48Help him to get through this.
15:49He doesn't know who we are.
15:51He doesn't remember us.
15:55We are holding this kid against his will.
15:57Where are you going with this, Beth?
15:59If you think I'm gonna lose my kid again after all this shit...
16:01Pat, I can't just ignore that because you finally have your life the way you want it.
16:06It's like we are the kidnappers now.
16:08No, we're not the kidnappers.
16:09Sam's gonna be fine. He's gonna get through this.
16:11It's you.
16:12Losing your kid just once, that wasn't enough for you, was it?
16:14You know something, Pat?
16:16You're right.
16:17I wasn't there. I let it happen.
16:19It only took a minute, and we paid for it.
16:22I have, and you have, and Vincent has, but I'm sorry, Pat.
16:26I don't think that means that Sam has to pay for it, too.
16:28Does it?
16:30We are where we are.
16:32How we got here doesn't matter.
16:33What matters is...
16:36What are we gonna do now?
16:41Don't push me on this, Beth.
16:46I wanna give him back.
16:48I can't do that.
16:53Then I want you to let me do what I have to do.
17:07Can you get your bags, okay?
17:09Yeah.
17:10Okay.
17:18Come on.
17:48Beth!
