00:00:30Row, row, row your boat, gently down a stream.
00:00:33Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
00:00:38Row, row, row your boat, gently down a stream.
00:00:43And if you see a crocodile, go ahead and...
00:00:47Yay!
00:00:50I have to look for work, Huggy Bear.
00:00:52No!
00:00:54No, but if I don't get a job, then we won't get our own place.
00:00:57Then we can sing merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, all day long, every day, and play...
00:01:02Train Man!
00:01:04No, Train Man, now!
00:01:06Choo-choo!
00:01:08Go, go, go!
00:01:10I'm gonna be the rotten egg!
00:01:12Oh, you won!
00:01:14Mom! Mom, I've gotta go, come on!
00:01:17Come here, baby boy, come to Grandma.
00:01:19Mom, if he's playing in the yard, can you please watch over him and put him down for a nap?
00:01:23He'll be a grumpy monster otherwise, all day.
00:01:25Enough already. I took care of you, and you didn't get eaten by tigers, did you?
00:01:30You really want to get into that right now?
00:01:34If you want a job, you better get moving.
00:01:39Joey, guess what? When I get back today, I'm gonna have a job, and guess who's gonna bring you the biggest present ever?
00:01:46Me!
00:01:55Here you go.
00:02:10Okay.
00:02:13I hope you don't mind, but I've never worked at a laundromat before.
00:02:17I think you do good here.
00:02:19Ah, yes, that's awesome.
00:02:21Just one more blank to fill in, the year you graduated high school.
00:02:27Yeah, well, I wanted to finish high school, but I ain't had nobody to watch my kid.
00:02:35But I swear to you, if you hire me, you won't be sorry.
00:02:39Oh, honey, I wish you could. Sorry.
00:02:43Where's my mom?
00:03:00She's supposed to be watching him.
00:03:02What are you playing with? Oh, my goodness.
00:03:04Come here, baby.
00:03:05I don't know.
00:03:06Come here.
00:03:07Let go of my mommy!
00:03:08You little bastard!
00:03:12Miss Knight, may I speak with you?
00:03:15Yeah.
00:03:19The injuries your son suffered are consistent with abuse.
00:03:22No, no, no, no. I told the doctor he fell off the slide today.
00:03:27Michelle, until we know that you can provide a safer environment, I'm going to have to recommend...
00:03:34Please don't take my son. Please.
00:03:37Michelle.
00:03:39You don't understand. He's...
00:03:43He's so sensitive. He's...
00:03:47He needs me. Like, he'll be crushed.
00:03:51Please.
00:03:56Please don't take my baby.
00:03:58You can't just take someone's baby from them. It's not right.
00:04:12Hey, Michelle. Did you see Joey today?
00:04:14Yeah. He's so amazing.
00:04:16When's he going to be home?
00:04:18Well, they said now that I'm out of my mom's house and I'm living with my cousin, the social worker said like two weeks.
00:04:24Oh, two weeks.
00:04:26My hearing's on Tuesday and I've been putting in millions of applications and guess what?
00:04:30I already got three of them that called me back.
00:04:32What?
00:04:33I don't know.
00:04:34Oh, it's my dad. Let's see what a goofball he is.
00:04:36Hey! Ready to go? I'm getting down 45th Street to pick you up.
00:04:41I'm on the porch.
00:04:42I'll see you in a second, Mia.
00:04:46Wow.
00:04:47A dad that's still around, huh? What a concept.
00:04:49We're not like that perfect family.
00:04:52You're right.
00:04:54I'll see you. Good luck at your court hearing.
00:04:56Okay. Bye.
00:05:21Hello?
00:05:22It's me.
00:05:23Hey, you almost here?
00:05:24I'm not going to make it.
00:05:25What?
00:05:26I'm sorry. I just lost track of the time.
00:05:28You lost track of the time? I mean, if I don't get to court on time, they're going to report me.
00:05:32It's only 11 o'clock. You have until 2.
00:05:34You know, I'll just get myself there.
00:05:36But honey...
00:05:53I'm sorry.
00:06:09Right back at the door.
00:06:11Bandanas.
00:06:12Excuse me.
00:06:13Hi.
00:06:14Do you know where 2950 Bridge Avenue is?
00:06:18I have no idea.
00:06:20Hey.
00:06:21Sorry.
00:06:22I know where it is.
00:06:23You know what? Wait, I know you.
00:06:25Emily's dad.
00:06:26Yeah, I live right near to her mom.
00:06:28You know where this address is?
00:06:30Huh? It's a 45-minute walk from here, at least.
00:06:3345 minutes?
00:06:34Oh, man, I only have 30 minutes to get there.
00:06:36My kid, he's in foster care, and I have meetings with the social workers.
00:06:40And if I don't get there soon, I'm going to lose him for longer.
00:06:44I can give you a ride.
00:06:45I can have you there, like, in 10 minutes.
00:06:48Really?
00:06:49And after your appointment, I can take you and Emily to the mall.
00:06:52And I've got really cold A.C. in my truck.
00:06:55And in fact, it's so cold, that's my initials, A.C.
00:06:58Ariel Castro.
00:06:59Oh.
00:07:03Okay.
00:07:14It looks like you live in here.
00:07:17I'm a bachelor.
00:07:33Just had a great idea.
00:07:35Does your little boy like puppies?
00:07:37Yeah, he loves all types of animals.
00:07:40Because my dog just had puppies, and there's a few left in the litter.
00:07:44I love the look of his little face when he sees a cute little puppy.
00:07:49It'll only take a half a minute, and I'll still get you there early.
00:07:52I swear.
00:07:54Oh, no, no, no, I can't be late for this appointment.
00:07:57I'm sorry.
00:07:58Hey, no worries.
00:07:59I will get you to your social workers with time to spare.
00:08:03Okay.
00:08:04All right.
00:08:14Okay.
00:08:41Sorry, it wouldn't open from the inside.
00:08:43I'll have to fix that.
00:08:46Oh.
00:08:53Oh, is that her?
00:08:54She's so cool.
00:08:56It's Maxine.
00:08:57Is she friendly?
00:08:59Huh?
00:09:00She's a beauty, huh?
00:09:02Yeah.
00:09:03Hi.
00:09:04Hi, pretty.
00:09:08Why isn't she upstairs with her babies?
00:09:10Even mamas need a break every once in a while.
00:09:15You gotta see the puppies.
00:09:17They're little babies.
00:09:19Okay.
00:09:20Can we be really quick?
00:09:22Yeah.
00:09:28Bye.
00:09:36Hey.
00:09:37The bachelor's life.
00:09:40I don't really get a chance to clean up much.
00:09:43I have a lot of stuff here.
00:09:46The puppies are up here.
00:09:49Don't want to bring them down,
00:09:50because they'll go running around loose,
00:09:52and then they'll get out of the house.
00:09:54Okay.
00:09:55This way.
00:09:58There's Emily.
00:10:00It's a cute picture.
00:10:11Through here.
00:10:13In the pink room.
00:10:15They're probably snoozing right now,
00:10:17but that's when they're the cutest,
00:10:19when they're all snuggled up together.
00:10:23Where are they?
00:10:31Oh!
00:10:33Oh, please don't hurt me!
00:10:35Listen, listen, don't move.
00:10:37Why are you doing this?
00:10:38I have to go pick up my son!
00:10:40Please, why are you...
00:10:41I have to go!
00:10:42I have to go!
00:10:43I have to go!
00:10:44I'm telling you, you don't move.
00:10:47Why are you doing this to me?
00:10:50I...
00:10:51You don't understand.
00:10:53I'm gonna be so...
00:10:57Oh, my God, because...
00:10:58Why?
00:11:01I wasn't planning to kill you,
00:11:03but if you don't shut up,
00:11:04it could change something.
00:11:11Oh!
00:11:17You're only gonna be here for a little while.
00:11:20You're gonna get used to it.
00:11:22You're gonna get used to it.
00:11:24You're gonna get used to it.
00:11:27You're only gonna be here for a little while,
00:11:31so I just want us to be friends.
00:11:35My bitch wife, she took my kids away.
00:11:39Oh.
00:11:40I just want someone to be here for me.
00:11:46I need you.
00:11:56I need you.
00:12:12What's this?
00:12:14How old are you?
00:12:1621.
00:12:18Jeez, I thought you were 15.
00:12:23Hey.
00:12:25What a cute kid.
00:12:31Oh, please, it's my only one.
00:12:34Please.
00:12:36No.
00:12:38Shut up.
00:12:40Please.
00:12:42You...
00:12:43Shut up.
00:12:50Stop making noise.
00:12:52You stop making noise.
00:12:54It will be done, I promise you.
00:13:08Just so you know,
00:13:10in case you think that these robes and these logs,
00:13:14that it's not enough...
00:13:17Huh?
00:13:21Huh?
00:13:23If I shot you right now,
00:13:26I would be missing out on a whole lot of fun.
00:13:31But don't think that I won't do it.
00:13:35You see?
00:13:37It's loaded, you see?
00:13:46Oh, God.
00:14:09Mommy!
00:14:12Mommy!
00:14:14Mommy!
00:14:22Mommy!
00:14:24Shh. Stay.
00:14:26Stay.
00:14:35Mommy.
00:14:37Mommy.
00:14:41Mommy.
00:14:43Mommy.
00:14:45I'm here.
00:14:47I'm here, Mommy.
00:14:50Mommy.
00:15:09Hola, Ariel.
00:15:11Afternoon, Mario.
00:15:19Oh, my God.
00:15:50You all right?
00:16:14Ma'am, is this the first time she hasn't come home?
00:16:17No, but she wouldn't miss her appointment at social services
00:16:21unless there was something wrong.
00:16:23Any chance this was all just too much for her
00:16:26and she just simply took off?
00:16:29Just give us a call if you hear from her, all right?
00:16:32Have a good day, ma'am.
00:16:48Shh.
00:17:00Hey, hey.
00:17:02I got you. My favorite.
00:17:07See?
00:17:09Come on. Come on.
00:17:11Hey.
00:17:13Look, you're gonna be hungry.
00:17:17Can you please let me go?
00:17:22Come on. Get up.
00:17:25Come on.
00:17:44Please hold me.
00:17:48Please.
00:17:50If you let me go, I won't say anything.
00:17:53You should know.
00:18:18Come on.
00:18:32This is payment for your services.
00:18:35Huh?
00:18:37I'm gonna keep it in here.
00:18:48My daughter Emily said...
00:18:51everybody thinks that you...
00:18:54freaked out and you took off.
00:18:57You abandoned your little boy.
00:19:00You.
00:19:02Everybody thinks that you...
00:19:04freaked out and you took off.
00:19:07You abandoned your little boy.
00:19:10You.
00:19:20There's no posters, no polls.
00:19:23No, uh...
00:19:25no search parties.
00:19:28Do you know what that means?
00:19:32Hey.
00:19:36I can do whatever I want with you.
00:19:40I'm all you got.
00:19:57Come on.
00:20:20Mama.
00:20:28Help me.
00:20:38Yo paso a verte mañana.
00:20:40Eso es todo.
00:20:42Soy tu madre.
00:20:46Y me voy.
00:20:58You.
00:21:03Smart one.
00:21:09I'm not worried.
00:21:11You'll learn.
00:21:24Eat.
00:21:28Look. My mother made it.
00:21:31It's not poisoned.
00:21:33Look.
00:21:36It's good.
00:21:38It's really good. Smells good.
00:21:41See?
00:21:43If I was gonna kill you, I'd just shoot you with my gun.
00:21:46Here.
00:21:54Oh, good girl.
00:21:56Good girl.
00:22:02Here.
00:22:04Here.
00:22:25Watch your timing on the E right there at the end there.
00:22:28Oh, yeah, bye. Watch your own timing.
00:22:32What's got you so happy?
00:22:35Sex on the shelf, bro.
00:22:37Come on, let's do this.
00:22:39One, two, three, and...
00:22:53I wish I didn't have to hurt you.
00:22:57I can't help it.
00:23:01I got molested.
00:23:06By someone who was supposed to be watching out for me.
00:23:12And nobody did nothing about it.
00:23:27I love you.
00:23:29It's okay.
00:23:34I'm sorry that you had to suffer like that.
00:23:39You know that just because you was hurt
00:23:42doesn't mean you have to hurt people back, you know?
00:23:51Imagine if someone was doing this to your daughter.
00:23:57Hmm?
00:24:02You know, if you let me go right now,
00:24:04I would never tell anybody.
00:24:06I would just say I got in, like, an accident and passed out,
00:24:09and... and I swear to you,
00:24:12it is... it's what I would say.
00:24:17Well, that sounds like a really good idea.
00:24:21I got me a real little sharp one here, huh?
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:26Yeah.
00:24:28Wouldn't you feel like doing this right now, not this second?
00:24:31What?
00:24:33Come on.
00:24:35Come on, girl.
00:24:37Get up.
00:24:41Come on.
00:24:43Get up.
00:24:47Okay, I can't walk very well right now.
00:24:50Well, then I reckon I'm gonna have to carry you, sweet little ass.
00:24:56Whoa-ho-ho!
00:24:58Whoa-ho-ho! That's a good idea!
00:25:01Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:25:06Where are you going?
00:25:08You stupid little thing, I was gonna let you out of here that instant.
00:25:11But I didn't have a place to be! Please!
00:25:14You have to let me go!
00:25:17Maybe I'll let you go. Maybe not.
00:25:20Maybe I'll let you go at Christmas.
00:25:30No!
00:25:33Dingle bells, dingle bells,
00:25:37Jingle all the way.
00:25:40Oh, what fun it is to ride
00:25:43In a one-horse open sleigh.
00:25:46Hey!
00:25:55It's Santa Claus.
00:25:58With a present.
00:26:00A present? For guess who?
00:26:03Uh...
00:26:23Ah.
00:26:27Ah.
00:26:29Hey. Hey, there's rules with T.V.
00:26:32Just like there's rules with everything else.
00:26:35Actually, just, uh, one rule.
00:26:39Can you guess what it is?
00:26:41I'm sure you're gonna tell me.
00:26:44Uh, no...
00:26:47No blacks.
00:26:49No African-Americans.
00:26:51Or I'll... I'll take it away!
00:26:59No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:02No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:05No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:14No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:20No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:23No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:26Do I never let you go?
00:27:31Do I have to do the edges of my...
00:27:42Do it again.
00:27:44Sing?
00:27:46Sing it again.
00:27:49♪
00:27:53Living all alone
00:27:55In the corners of my mind
00:27:59Hoping, praying, wishing
00:28:02To see you one more time
00:28:06To see you one more time
00:28:09To see you one more time
00:28:13Whoa-oh-oh-oh
00:28:17You wrote that?
00:28:22That's beautiful.
00:28:26You think you could write something for me?
00:28:29And I could bring it in, and then I could play lead on it.
00:28:32It would be really good for me.
00:28:37Well, I already wrote you something.
00:28:40You already did?
00:28:43Can I say it?
00:28:45Sure.
00:28:51I titled it Concrete.
00:28:59Concrete.
00:29:02Now I lay here on the floor
00:29:06Shivering and ashamed
00:29:10Because no one truly loves me
00:29:15Or cares about me
00:29:18It's about you, not me.
00:29:21Yeah?
00:29:23I wouldn't be so sure.
00:29:25What are you talking about?
00:29:27You're in prison, and it's worse than me,
00:29:29Because the prison is you.
00:29:31You know what? You're stupider than I thought.
00:29:34I mean, aren't you cold yet and shivering
00:29:37Because nobody cares about you?
00:29:39You shut the hell up! Shut up!
00:29:44Shut the hell up!
00:29:55Here we are.
00:29:57Hey, come on, let's go.
00:30:01Hey, hermano.
00:30:04Shit.
00:30:08Thanks for bringing that.
00:30:11I'm glad to see you, man.
00:30:16Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:30:18Where are you going?
00:30:20To my old room to see if my gym uniform is there.
00:30:22It's not there. I cleared everything out.
00:30:24I was just going to go look anyway.
00:30:26I said it's not there. It's a mess.
00:30:28Come on, forget about it. Who wants hot dogs?
00:30:30Hot dogs?
00:30:42What's that?
00:30:44It's the dog.
00:30:46I had to unlock it upstairs.
00:30:48It was tearing out my stuff.
00:30:50Oh.
00:30:52You know, I've been cooped up all day inside.
00:30:54Let's go outside, everybody.
00:30:56Come on, outside. Let's go.
00:30:58Ah!
00:31:01Hey.
00:31:03Don't look scared.
00:31:05It's okay.
00:31:07You had to try this.
00:31:09It's okay.
00:31:11It's okay.
00:31:13It's okay.
00:31:15It's okay.
00:31:17It's okay.
00:31:19It's okay.
00:31:21It's okay.
00:31:23It's okay.
00:31:25It's okay.
00:31:27It's okay.
00:31:29You had to try that once.
00:31:42One day you're going to be a big, big boy,
00:31:45and you're going to be the king of the second basement.
00:31:49And guess what?
00:31:51You watch them try to get past you.
00:31:54And I'll be sitting there so proud.
00:32:01Who you talking to in there?
00:32:04You excited?
00:32:06No, don't let me hear it again.
00:32:24Oh.

00:32:38Puppy?
00:32:40For me?
00:32:42Hi, puppy. Come here.
00:32:44Oh, my gosh, he's so cute.
00:32:47Hi, baby puppy.

00:36:37The star of feeling.
00:36:39A great sonero.
00:36:41Spiritual feeling.
00:36:43Of an original people.
00:36:45It's the star of feeling.
00:36:48A great sonero.
00:36:59Anyone that's seen anything
00:37:01or even thinks they have
00:37:03call the number on the flier.
00:37:06I want my baby girl to come home to me.
00:37:09In the four weeks since Amanda Berry went missing,
00:37:12police have yet to come up with a...
00:37:23No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:37:27You're in the front row now.
00:37:42Who are you?
00:37:44I'm Michelle Knight.
00:37:46We had art together. You don't remember?
00:37:49How long have you been in here?
00:37:52It's August. Nine months.
00:37:56Shh. There's no talking between you two unless I'm there.
00:38:00If I hear one word, one of you dies.
00:38:03No!
00:38:04You got this.
00:38:13No! No, no, no, please.
00:38:18Please don't. Please, please.
00:38:22No, no, no!
00:38:24No, no, no!
00:38:35Amanda. Amanda.
00:38:40He said not to talk.
00:38:42You and I need to come up with a plan and trick him
00:38:45so we can get out of here.
00:38:49Amanda.
00:38:51Please don't talk. Please.
00:38:54Amanda.
00:39:04On the day that marks two months since Amanda Berry
00:39:07disappeared on her way home from work,
00:39:09friends, family, and neighbors had gathered here
00:39:12on this busy street corner where the 17-year-old was last seen.
00:39:16They found the...
00:39:19Here.
00:39:21Oh, God.
00:39:43Oh, God, you're about to hit me down the street.
00:39:48Oh, crap.
00:39:50There's a lot of stuff that she won't do,
00:39:53so you have to.
00:39:56Since when did you start asking for permission?
00:40:01Hey, why are you only getting fat in one spot?
00:40:04No.
00:40:05Did the moron go and get herself pregnant?
00:40:08No.
00:40:10I'm not having...
00:40:11I did.
00:40:12I'm not having one of your ugly babies in this house!
00:40:18Come here!
00:40:20Stay away from me.
00:40:21Come here!
00:40:22Stay away from me!
00:40:24Always!
00:40:27Tomorrow, it better be gone.
00:40:30I know.
00:40:36Aah!
00:40:48Oh, God.
00:41:14Good news, little gal.
00:41:17I got Jab out back that needs doing,
00:41:19so guess what, missy?
00:41:21You and me, we're going outside.
00:41:37Put these on.
00:41:48Come on.
00:41:53Okay, I need you to hold these boards
00:41:56while I cut the...
00:41:58grip the boards.
00:42:03You making my coffee?
00:42:05Don't give me any ideas.
00:42:14Hey!
00:42:16Hey!
00:42:17Eyes! Eyes!
00:42:21Hold the boards.
00:42:32Amanda.
00:42:34Don't talk.
00:42:36There was a guy outside.
00:42:38He saw me. He saw the chains.
00:42:40He saw it all.
00:42:42I'm gonna call the police, and we're going home.
00:42:51They're here. The cops are here.
00:42:54They're coming up.
00:42:57Oh, thank you. Thank you.
00:43:02Hey! Hey!
00:43:04You're gonna touch me, aren't you?
00:43:06Did you see what he did to me?
00:43:08Amanda, I told you.
00:43:12Respond. All units respond. Officer down.
00:43:17Let's go.
00:43:19Lucky this time, sir.
00:43:2194 responding.
00:43:23Let's go.
00:43:27Go.
00:43:41Oh, Jesus.
00:43:43Ow!
00:44:11He did it.
00:44:14Molly?
00:44:17Joey?
00:44:20Molly?
00:44:26I'm gonna never leave you.
00:44:29I'm sorry.
00:44:32I'm sorry.
00:44:38Happy birthday, Joey.
00:44:57Pick up the drill.
00:44:59You're gonna drill two holes in that baseboard
00:45:02and then run the chain in one hole and out the other.
00:45:05Let's go.
00:45:08Press it against it.
00:45:11Press harder.
00:45:14Push!
00:45:23Amanda?
00:45:25Amanda, are you in there?
00:45:27Yes.
00:45:32It was hard to tell where it was coming from
00:45:35because there was music playing, but sort of over there.
00:45:38I don't hear it now.
00:45:40I told you, it stopped after a few minutes.
00:45:43That's what scared me.
00:45:45Well, if you hear any more screaming,
00:45:47try to be sure you know where it's coming from
00:45:50before you call us again, okay?
00:45:52Have a good night.
00:45:54Cleveland's west side was combed inch by inch
00:45:57as investigators and volunteers searched for the missing teen.
00:46:01Investigators said that Gina DeJesus
00:46:04was walking home from middle school on Friday with a friend
00:46:08when they went their separate ways
00:46:10here at the intersection of Lorraine and 110.
00:46:13I brought you some company.
00:46:15Three days ago.
00:46:23Sarah.
00:46:31Cut it short.
00:46:34Like the army.
00:46:36Be back in a minute.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:42Every door, window has an alarm.
00:46:46So don't be stupid enough and think about trying anything.
00:46:50And if you do,
00:46:52I will kill you and make the other one watch.
00:46:57And no talking.
00:47:00Just cut it short, girl.
00:47:02He's just going to get mad, okay?
00:47:05He said not to talk.
00:47:07Please don't be scared.
00:47:09We're going to be okay.
00:47:11We're going to get out of here.
00:47:13There's three of us now, so we can outsmart him.
00:47:16Three of us?
00:47:18What are you talking about?
00:47:20The whole family together at last.
00:47:28He offered me a ride.
00:47:31I'm friends with his daughter, Leanne.
00:47:34So, you know, I thought it would be okay.
00:47:40I'm sorry.
00:47:42I'm sorry.
00:47:44I'm sorry.
00:47:46I'm sorry.
00:47:48I'm sorry.
00:47:50We need to talk about how to get out of here, okay?
00:47:55You need to stay alive for your mom and your dad
00:48:00and all your sisters, because they love you.
00:48:04I could never see them again.
00:48:07Look at me. I am filthy. I'm dirty.
00:48:11I think that we can get out of here together.
00:48:16We can get really strong.
00:48:19And I know his weaknesses, and we can outwit him.
00:48:23And you want to know why else?
00:48:26Because God...
00:48:28God is in this room...
00:48:33every day with me.
00:48:35He's here.
00:48:37And he has not let me down yet.
00:48:42I don't want my mom.
00:48:46I don't want my mom.
00:48:55Today, on this very painful anniversary,
00:49:00there is no way Nancy and me,
00:49:04we could have made it through this year
00:49:07without all the support and love you've given us.
00:49:10And again, we ask the people of Cleveland
00:49:13to notify the police if you see or hear anything
00:49:17that can help us find our Gina and bring her home safe.
00:49:30I love Gina.
00:49:32You know, we're all doing everything we can to bring her home.
00:49:36Bless you, Ariel. Bless you.
00:49:39Oh!
00:49:41Oh!
00:49:43Oh!
00:49:45Oh!
00:49:47Oh!
00:49:49Oh!
00:49:51Oh!
00:49:53Oh!
00:49:55Oh!
00:49:57You got to see what's up in here.
00:50:04In the meantime, a large crowd has gathered,
00:50:08Oh, man, look.
00:50:10Look at the look on your mom's face.
00:50:13And she only knew who she was blubbering all over.
00:50:19Oh, hey, hey.
00:50:21Don't cover that beautiful face.
00:50:23Hey, I'll do it. Hey, do it.
00:50:25Do it. Let me do it. Let me do it.
00:50:27Shut up. Shut up.
00:50:29I'll do whatever he wants.
00:50:31You're just pissed off because nobody's holding
00:50:33any candlelight vigils for you?
00:50:35I hate you!
00:50:37Nobody loves you!
00:50:39Nobody misses you!
00:50:43Yeah, they do. Really, do you?
00:50:45Really, do you?
00:50:47Do you hate yourself?
00:50:52Do you hate yourself?
00:50:58I can't reach you. I can't reach you.
00:51:00I can't reach you.
00:51:02Ah!
00:51:04Ah!
00:51:1117...
00:51:1318...
00:51:1519...
00:51:1720...
00:51:22I'm back.
00:51:26I'm bored. Put on a show.
00:51:32Come on.
00:51:46He's just gonna feed our bodies to the dogs.
00:51:49And my mom's never gonna know what happened to me.
00:51:55Hey, just leave me alone, okay?
00:51:58We're gonna get through this, okay?
00:52:01The only thing that has the possibility to kill us
00:52:03is this freaking cold right now.
00:52:05And there's only one solution for that.
00:52:08Music time.
00:52:12I don't care what he does.
00:52:14It's weird.
00:52:24It's been nearly three years
00:52:26since her teenage daughter disappeared.
00:52:28Tonight, the mother of Amanda Barry is dead.
00:52:31She fought tirelessly to keep alive the memory
00:52:33of her vanished daughter.
00:52:35Dr. Saylawanna died of a congestive heart failure.
00:52:37Perhaps that's the scientific term for a broken heart.
00:52:40Every minute of the day, she told me
00:52:42there wasn't a second she wouldn't think of Amanda.
00:52:45Amanda's bedroom remains unchanged.
00:52:48You know, I always wished
00:52:51that she was my mother and said those things about me.
00:52:54...to search for her daughter.
00:52:56They're gonna have to stand before God someday
00:52:59and see what happens.
00:53:04Today's a special day.
00:53:06To celebrate, I got a present for y'all.
00:53:09I think you're smart enough by now
00:53:12to keep being good.
00:53:14You can say adios to these.
00:53:16What do you mean by adios?
00:53:18I mean goodbye, no more locks.
00:53:21Come on, come downstairs real quick!
00:53:27Oh, my God.
00:53:30Oh, my God, Michelle, we're...
00:53:33We're out.
00:53:35Come on, Gina.
00:53:37Oh, my God, is what you don't realize
00:53:39is he's playing a trick on us.
00:53:42Come on downstairs! Come on!
00:53:48This is why I did all of this.
00:53:51So we could be together.
00:53:54So we could be together.
00:53:57Like this.
00:54:01Like a family.
00:54:07Okay, are you ready for the big announcement?
00:54:14Okay, right around the end of January,
00:54:19there's gonna be a new member to our family.
00:54:24How's that to ring in the new year, huh?
00:54:30Really?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:48She's in labor.
00:54:50You screwed up. Why is it happening so early?
00:54:52How far apart are her contractions?
00:54:54How the hell should I know? Go, go get the pole!
00:55:01Come on, come on!
00:55:05Careful.
00:55:11If this baby doesn't come out alive,
00:55:13I'm gonna pull his trigger!
00:55:15I gotta push!
00:55:17No, don't push, it's too soon.
00:55:19Stop screaming like that!
00:55:21She can't help it! She's in pain!
00:55:26Come here, come here, come here, come here.
00:55:28I wanna go, I wanna stay and help.
00:55:30I know.
00:55:46It hurts so much!
00:55:48There's something wrong!
00:55:51Whatever's wrong, you better fix it!
00:55:53Oh, God!
00:55:55I think you're ready to push. Grab her hand!
00:55:57I think it's ready!
00:55:59What did you do to her, you stupid bitch?
00:56:01I didn't do anything to her!
00:56:03Maybe he dropped her something!
00:56:05I don't know!
00:56:07All right, push!
00:56:09Push!
00:56:11Push! Come on, push!
00:56:21It's a girl.
00:56:23It's a little baby.
00:56:25Gina, grab the tie.
00:56:27Grab the tie.
00:56:29Cut. Cut her bow, cut her bow.
00:56:33Is she okay?
00:56:35Why is she not breathing?
00:56:37Make her breathe!
00:56:39You want me to pull his trigger?
00:56:41Please, baby.
00:56:43Make her breathe!
00:56:45Please, God.
00:56:47Come on, please.
00:56:49Please, God.
00:56:51Please.
00:57:03Thank you, God.
00:57:15Breathe.
00:57:17Breathe.
00:57:19She's tiny.
00:57:21My God.
00:57:23My God.
00:57:35Are you Daddy's little princess?
00:57:37Are you my princess?
00:57:39Are you my, my, my?
00:57:41Are you all mine?
00:57:43Are you my, my, my?
00:57:45Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:57:49It's a big day in the Castro house.
00:57:51Okay, Jocelyn.
00:57:53Can you walk?
00:57:55Can you walk?
00:57:57Come on, just a few more steps, Jocelyn.

00:58:35I love you, Auntie Juju.
00:58:37I love you, Auntie Chelsea.
00:58:39But who do you love the most?
00:58:41Daddy.
00:58:43Aw.
00:58:45Okay.
00:58:47It's recess time for the art teacher.
00:58:49Let's go.
00:59:03Yeah, I'm two payments behind
00:59:05on my property taxes,
00:59:07and, uh,
00:59:09I could, I could lose my house.
00:59:13Yeah, I get it, I get it, I know.
00:59:15Job will turn up soon.
00:59:17Bye.
00:59:21You got that from the trash?
00:59:23So?
00:59:25It's perfectly good.
00:59:27Like I'm not sick enough.
00:59:29Hey, it's time for my program! Come on!
00:59:31Everybody, mandatory!
00:59:35Come on!
00:59:37Auntie Chelsea!
00:59:39Missing the program is not allowed.
00:59:43Daddy, we should all go to the park.
00:59:45Mommy, Auntie Juju,
00:59:47and Auntie Chelsea, too.
00:59:49No, they can't.
00:59:51Why not?
00:59:53Because they can't, okay?
00:59:55That's not a good because.
00:59:57Why can't Auntie Juju or Auntie Chelsea come,
00:59:59and why can't I talk about them to anyone?
01:00:01Shh!
01:00:03I want to know why.
01:00:05Okay, you gotta be quiet!
01:00:07She's gotta be quiet!
01:00:09She's gotta be quiet!
01:00:11She's gotta stay quiet!
01:00:21After I plant some corn here,
01:00:23I'm gonna put in some squash
01:00:25against the fence.
01:00:27Why don't you just cut the act?
01:00:29Okay, you shut up!
01:00:31I will dig.
01:00:33I will dig.
01:00:35I'm gonna dig it so deep
01:00:37that the dogs can't dig up the evidence,
01:00:39and then I'll dig it
01:00:41big enough for the three of us.
01:00:43What are you gonna tell Jocelyn?
01:00:45Hmm?
01:00:47Okay, I'm warning you.
01:00:49That her mom just,
01:00:51just, uh, doesn't love her
01:00:53and run away?
01:00:55Well, she's not gonna believe you.
01:00:57She already hates you, so you're screwed either way.
01:00:59Shut up!
01:01:05This is what I'm afraid of.
01:01:09Jocelyn growing up in here
01:01:11like this.
01:01:13I'm scared
01:01:15it could screw her up.
01:01:19I never meant for this
01:01:23to get this big.
01:01:25I don't just get out
01:01:27of hand.
01:01:31Willie, why don't you just turn yourself in?
01:01:33Huh?
01:01:35Maybe if you turned yourself in,
01:01:37they won't go so,
01:01:39so hard, and they'll go easier.
01:01:41Right.
01:01:43And then my whole family know
01:01:45what I've been doing.
01:01:47Who cares about what your family thinks?
01:01:49It's only about God.
01:01:53Where was God
01:01:55when he let you all get into my car?
01:02:03You know
01:02:05where he was.
01:02:07The only time
01:02:09that we don't see him is when we're scared
01:02:11to look.
01:02:13I never meant
01:02:15to hurt you
01:02:19or anybody.
01:02:21I
01:02:23couldn't help it.
01:02:25You know how I got messed up.
01:02:27You've told me what they had done to you
01:02:29and God knows he's just
01:02:31waiting for you to open
01:02:33your heart.
01:02:35And you can ask him to take the pain
01:02:37away and tell him, I'm ready to
01:02:39change.
01:02:51Do I feel hot?
01:02:53Mm-hmm.
01:02:55Maybe if we wear disguises, he'll have a doctor
01:02:57come look at you.
01:02:59Oh, I love this song.
01:03:01It will stink.
01:03:03Okay.
01:03:05All right.
01:03:07Come on.
01:03:13Hey.
01:03:15I'm going to my mom's house to
01:03:17get us some food.
01:03:19Be good.
01:03:49Why did Daddy leave the front door open?
01:03:51I don't know, honey. Maybe he's still here.
01:03:55Did you hear his car drive away?
01:03:57Yeah.
01:04:03Mom, you can't go outside.
01:04:05Daddy will get mad.
01:04:07It's okay, honey. He'll understand.
01:04:09Whatever happens now, I love you, okay?
01:04:15Help!
01:04:17Help!
01:04:19Help!
01:04:21Help!
01:04:23Help!
01:04:25Help!
01:04:27Help!
01:04:29Help!
01:04:31Help!
01:04:33Help!
01:04:35Help!
01:04:37Help!
01:04:39Help!
01:04:41I'm Amanda Berry.
01:04:43I've been locked in here for 10 years.
01:04:45You can't be Amanda!
01:04:47She's dead.
01:04:49You've got to get it open.
01:04:51Sorry.
01:04:53Get back. Kick it in.
01:04:55That sucks.
01:05:01Daddy!
01:05:03Daddy!
01:05:21Who was that?
01:05:23Probably somebody trying to break in.
01:05:25But who would want to break into this place?
01:05:27I don't hear Jocelyn.
01:05:29She's never quiet for this long.
01:05:33Go hide.
01:05:37Sounds like there's two of them.
01:05:39We have a police.
01:05:41Michelle.
01:05:45Anybody can say there's a police
01:05:47and it could be him trying to trick us, right?
01:05:49Get down and stay down
01:05:51and do not come out until I say.
01:05:53Okay?
01:06:03Is anybody here?
01:06:07Hey, come on out.
01:06:09It's okay.
01:06:11Hey, the police.
01:06:17You're the police?
01:06:23Police?
01:06:29You saved us.
01:06:31You saved us.
01:06:39Gina.
01:06:43Gina, they found us for free.
01:06:51I'm Georgina de Jesus.
01:06:57Oh, my Lord.
01:06:59I have been looking for you
01:07:01for nine years.
01:07:03Let's get you out of here.
01:07:05No, no.
01:07:07It's okay. I won't let you go.
01:07:09You're safe. It's over.
01:07:13117 to base.
01:07:15Go to 117.
01:07:17We found them.
01:07:19We found them.
01:07:29We found them.
01:07:59We found them.
01:08:01We found them.
01:08:29We found them.
01:08:31I'm coming home, Joey.
01:08:33I'm free.
01:08:35I'm free.
01:08:37I'm free.
01:08:39I'm free.
01:08:41I'm free.
01:08:43I'm free.
01:08:45I'm free.
01:08:47I'm free.
01:08:49I'm free.
01:08:51I'm free.
01:08:53I'm free.
01:08:55I'm free.
01:08:57I'm free.
01:08:59I'm free.
01:09:05Oh, God.
01:09:29No men. No men.
01:09:31Only women.
01:09:33Okay, men, out.
01:09:35On my count.
01:09:37Three, two, one, go.
01:09:39Let's go.
01:09:41I want to see my son.
01:09:43I want him to know I'm alive.
01:09:45Please.
01:09:47Let's go.
01:09:49I want to see my son.
01:09:51I want him to know I'm alive.
01:09:53Please.
01:10:01Well, look who's awake.
01:10:03Morning.
01:10:05How do you feel?
01:10:09The smell is so clean.
01:10:11So clean.
01:10:17I want to see my son.
01:10:19Do you know where we can contact him?
01:10:21I don't know.
01:10:23He went into a foster home
01:10:25right before he took
01:10:27me.
01:10:29I think anybody here could help me.
01:10:31Don't worry.
01:10:33We'll look into it for you.
01:10:37Is there any family we can
01:10:39call for you?
01:10:43Nobody that wouldn't know how to find me
01:10:45if they wanted to.
01:10:47The other girls have returned home.
01:10:49Amanda Berry's family lets us know
01:10:51that her and her daughter are both resting and doing well.
01:10:53They ask that we continue to give them
01:10:55their privacy for this time of healing
01:10:57and recovery.
01:10:59And in other news...
01:11:01Whoa.
01:11:03Oh, my goodness. Would you look at all that?
01:11:05I swear we need to give some of
01:11:07this away. Yes.
01:11:09Except for this one. What a cutie.
01:11:11Oh.
01:11:13Joey would love this.
01:11:17I keep forgetting that
01:11:19Joey's almost 16 now.
01:11:23I wonder if I would even recognize
01:11:25him at this point or if he would
01:11:27remember me.
01:11:29I don't see it.
01:11:31Excuse me.
01:11:33Excuse me.
01:11:37Uh, Jake Serrano.
01:11:39FBI.
01:11:41Can we talk for a minute?
01:11:43Is that all right?
01:11:45Jake Serrano.
01:11:47FBI.
01:11:49I think the doctors promised you something
01:11:51once you were cleared for solid food.
01:11:53Um...
01:11:55A cheeseburger
01:11:57from Steak and Fish?
01:11:59Mm-hmm, with triple fries and
01:12:01a cheesecake blizzard
01:12:03from Dairy Queen.
01:12:17Oh, my God.
01:12:19You are an angel.
01:12:21A million times
01:12:23over.
01:12:25Mm.
01:12:27Mm.
01:12:29Mm.
01:12:31I think I better not rush it.
01:12:33Here. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:35I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
01:12:37frighten you.
01:12:39It's okay.
01:12:41I'm sorry.
01:12:49Yeah, whenever he wanted
01:12:51me to shut up, he would
01:12:53put that kind of
01:12:55napkin down my throat.
01:12:57I just want to find my son.
01:12:59Have you found my son?
01:13:01Not yet, but trust me,
01:13:03we're on it.
01:13:11Is she up?
01:13:13Oh, hey.
01:13:15Sorry.
01:13:17Your mother's here.
01:13:27Can you please tell her that I'm not up for it
01:13:29today?
01:13:31Actually,
01:13:33please tell her that I don't want to see her.
01:13:35Or else
01:13:37she's gonna keep coming back.
01:13:39Are you sure?
01:13:41Carla, you've seen parents of missing children,
01:13:43right?
01:13:45They keep their kids' bedrooms
01:13:47intact as if they never
01:13:49went missing,
01:13:51or they keep their voice on the voicemail
01:13:53so they can't listen to their kids'
01:13:55voice again and again
01:13:57and again, even if it is 10 years.
01:13:59He always
01:14:01told me nobody cared.
01:14:03Always.
01:14:07And one time he marched
01:14:09in my room and he said,
01:14:11told you nobody
01:14:13cared.
01:14:15Your mom packed up and moved to
01:14:17Florida.
01:14:19There was never one
01:14:21candlelight vigil for me, okay?
01:14:25I guess.
01:15:21I was beginning to think the world was just all
01:15:23blurry.
01:15:25Your therapist was here
01:15:27again to see you.
01:15:29I'm not ready yet.
01:15:53I'm not ready yet.
01:16:23So when
01:16:25will I get to put
01:16:27Joey's school picture
01:16:29in this frame?
01:16:31Well, at this point, it's about waiting for the adoption agency
01:16:33to respond to our request.
01:16:35You, um,
01:16:37you're gonna be okay here.
01:16:39Yeah, am I gonna be okay? A queen-size bed and all these
01:16:41chairs to sit in just for me?
01:16:43For the first time in my life,
01:16:45I'm gonna be okay.
01:16:47I'm gonna be okay.
01:16:49I'm gonna be okay.
01:16:51For me? For the first time in my life,
01:16:53yes? I'm gonna be great.
01:16:55Well, then I'm glad you're happy, and I'll
01:16:57check in on you as soon as I can.
01:16:59Okay.
01:17:21I miss him so much.
01:17:23It's like,
01:17:25what does he even look like?
01:17:27I wonder if his name is still
01:17:29Joey.
01:17:31Michelle,
01:17:33I've been
01:17:35talking to my parents,
01:17:37and
01:17:39I don't know,
01:17:41maybe I just...
01:17:43I just need to
01:17:45start living my normal life.
01:17:47Just for right now.
01:17:49But what do you mean?
01:17:51You can't just pretend like this never happened
01:17:53and go back.
01:17:55Look, I, um,
01:17:57I'll see you again soon, okay?
01:17:59I promise, just
01:18:01not right away.
01:18:03I'm sorry.
01:18:11I love you.
01:18:13I love you, too.
01:18:19I love you, too.
01:18:41Hi.
01:18:43So did you find Joey?
01:18:45Um, I think maybe
01:18:47now.
01:18:49Joey's foster parents
01:18:51adopted him when he was four years
01:18:53old, and they've decided that it's
01:18:55not in his best interest
01:18:57to see you.
01:18:59He's,
01:19:01he's doing well. They just don't want
01:19:03any of the
01:19:05commotion and attention to upset
01:19:07his life. But I'm not trying
01:19:09to upset him. I just wanted to hold him and
01:19:11hug him and just tell him that I love him.
01:19:13Can't I just do that?
01:19:15It's a possibility of a supervised visit.
01:19:17They made it very
01:19:19clear on what they thought was best
01:19:21for him.
01:19:23Is his name even Joey anymore?
01:19:25I can't
01:19:27tell you that. I'm sorry.
01:19:29May I see a picture?
01:19:31Please?
01:19:33I got the strong sense that
01:19:35they're most comfortable with
01:19:37no contact whatsoever.
01:19:41I did talk to a family lawyer
01:19:43I know. According to him,
01:19:45in a situation where
01:19:47the birth mother was not consulted,
01:19:49the adoption
01:19:51can be voided.
01:19:53Would you talk to him about that?
01:20:05Do you mind if I
01:20:07have some time by myself, please?
01:20:13Okay.
01:20:31Michelle?
01:20:33I'm sorry if I'm intruding.
01:20:35No, you're not. I wanted to talk to you about something.
01:20:37Anything?
01:20:39You know, I always
01:20:41saw myself more than
01:20:43anything as Joey's mother.
01:20:45And I know that
01:20:47I will be somebody.
01:20:49But I don't
01:20:51want a family lawyer.
01:20:53You know, Joey,
01:20:55he's happy now. You know, he has a family
01:20:57and he has a life, and I don't want to go
01:20:59blowing that up. It just doesn't feel right to me.
01:21:03You're sure?
01:21:05Yeah.
01:21:07It hurts
01:21:09like you wouldn't believe, but
01:21:11I'm sure.
01:21:13You're an amazing woman, Michelle.
01:21:15I don't know how amazing
01:21:17I am, you know?
01:21:19I don't even really know
01:21:21how Michelle I am.
01:21:25Maybe I am
01:21:27stronger than I would have been
01:21:29had I not gotten into that truck,
01:21:31you know?
01:21:33I mean, I literally did not know
01:21:35where I was going that day.
01:21:41But that was the
01:21:43caterpillar, you know?
01:21:47And now I'm ready
01:21:49for butterflies.
01:22:05I find that unbelievably
01:22:07courageous that a woman who's been through this
01:22:09hell, and keep in mind,
01:22:11this man kept her in a
01:22:13darkened room for much of the time. She was
01:22:15chained up, fed her once
01:22:17a day, she became pregnant,
01:22:19and he...
01:22:35Don't...
01:22:41You're stupid!
01:22:45Nobody loves you!
01:22:47Nobody's looking for you!
01:22:51I'm gonna break your face!
01:22:53You're not having my baby!
01:22:55I hate you!
01:23:05...
01:23:27My name is Michelle Knight,
01:23:29and I would like
01:23:31to tell you what this was like for me.
01:23:33I missed
01:23:35my son every day,
01:23:37and I wondered if I was ever
01:23:39gonna see him again.
01:23:41I cried every night,
01:23:43because
01:23:45I was so alone.
01:23:47The days
01:23:49never got shorter.
01:23:51Days turned into nights,
01:23:53and nights turned into days,
01:23:55and the years turned into eternity.
01:23:57I knew
01:23:59at that point
01:24:01nobody cared about me.
01:24:05Ariel Castro,
01:24:09he took 11 years
01:24:11of my life away,
01:24:13and I have got it back.
01:24:15I spent
01:24:1711 years in hell,
01:24:19and now... Your hell is just beginning.
01:24:25The death penalty
01:24:27would be so much easier.
01:24:31You don't deserve that.
01:24:33You deserve
01:24:35to spend a life in prison.
01:24:39I can't forgive you,
01:24:41but I can't forget.
01:24:45With the guidance
01:24:47of God,
01:24:49I will prevail
01:24:51and help others
01:24:53that suffer at the hands
01:24:55of others.
01:24:57Writing this statement gave me the strength
01:24:59to be a stronger woman,
01:25:01and I know
01:25:03there is more good
01:25:05than there is evil.
01:25:09I know that there's a lot of people
01:25:11going through hard times,
01:25:13but we need
01:25:15to reach out a hand
01:25:17and hold them and let them know
01:25:19that they're being heard.
01:25:23After 11 years,
01:25:25I'm finally
01:25:27being heard,
01:25:29and it's liberating.
01:25:33Thank you all.
01:25:35I love you.
01:25:39And God bless.
01:25:57I love you.
01:25:59I love you.
01:26:01I love you.
01:26:03I love you.
01:26:05I love you.
01:26:07I love you.
01:26:09I love you.
01:26:11I love you.
