8:27 pm
were they injured? riley was okay. maggie had to have an emergency c-section. her pelvis was shattered. after the accident, her whole life just fell apart. she lost josh, the house. it's a lot to deal with. maggie was in so much pain, physically, emotionally. she couldn't function without the pills. and when the doctors stopped giving her the drugs, she robbed the pharmacy. all she could think about was getting those pills. boss, maggie perrello rented a car three days ago. i got her address from her credit card. 528 brynvalley road. police! police! police. freeze. let's see some hands. let's see some hands. definitely planning to bring them here. jules: look at all this stuff. she really went all out, huh? she's trying to make it nice for her kids. riley and becky aren't her kids. not anymore.
8:28 pm
apartment's clear. but all maggie's clothes are gone. she's not coming back. all right, sweep the place. look for any sign that maggie may be using again. on it. hey, i found this in the bedroom. think maggie's stalking her? and as the prince swept the beautiful princess riley off her feet, he promised to love her forever, and to never leave wet towels lying on the bed again. josh: funny, i don't remember that part. maggie: well, we changed the ending a little bit, didn't we? josh: okay, stop kissing her. i can't see her face. okay, say, "i love you, daddy." i love you, daddy. say hi. we love you, daddy.
8:29 pm
jules: she seems so happy. it's just a shame... what drugs can do to a life. that's no excuse for the choices she made. i thought you'd be more sympathetic. oh, i get it. the drunk who lost custody of his kid. okay, greg, come on. you don't see me running around with a knife, trying to take him back by force, do you? maggie's been out for months. why did she wait till now? hmm. let's get her parole officer down here. maybe he can give us some answers. (sighs) okay, thanks. anything? no sign of her at the bus depot or the train station. what about the apb? no hits so far. spike, we need to get a hold of maggie's parole officer, grant levy. i'll see if i can track him down for you. everything all right? think i just overstepped a little with the boss. what do you mean? he's harsh on the subject, and i called him on it. didn't go over well? struck a nerve.
