- A good thief goes in when a home is empty,
but he's ready if it isn't.
Either way, I didn't hit that house.
- Why not?
- I was watching it last night,
and there was this black Dodge Charger that kept cruising by.
I thought it was an unmarked cop car, so I bailed out.
- That's the second time we've heard about a black car.
- Mm-hmm.
- This interview is over.
♪ ♪
- All right, what are we looking at here?
- Okay, so this is the only black Charger
that showed up in the footage
that Kristen and Scola pulled from the park.
- What Charger? - Top right.
- The call came in at 10:09.
We figured the kidnapper drove away right after.
- We're at 10:21 and counting.
- Mm-hmm.
- Maybe it's just a parked car. - Maybe.
Okay, here we go.
Ian? - I got it.

Let's bring this little boy home.
- Yeah. - Jubal.
- Yeah? - I found something.
- Still looking for Rydell?

- Just before we gained access to the Harper's cloud account,
Stacy deleted a bunch of older photos.
- Hmm, odd timing. - Yeah, I thought so too.
So I recovered one of them.
- Hello!
All right, so maybe she doesn't want us to see
her boudoir shots.
I get that. - Yeah, but here's the problem.

- It's a lot of weight loss in one day.
You want to explain that?
- I always wanted kids.
I thought it would just happen, you know?
We--we--we tried for years.
Hormones, in vitro.
I would get pregnant and then...
Bad eggs, they said.
So we did IVF.
- Then where did Eli come from?
- A surrogate.
But my channel was taking off,
and my consultants said that fans would judge me.
You know, I was supposed to be down-to-earth, relatable.
This could ruin my brand.
So I pretended.
I'm ashamed of that now.
- Do you know Lisa Defasio?
Did she carry Eli?
- It was her egg but--
but he is my son.
- Has Lisa been in touch?
- Not since Eli was born.
- Okay, you know that dinosaur book you were sent?
"To Eli, I love you always"?
I think that was her.
I actually think she's the one who's behind this.
- No.
No, Lisa's a lovely girl.
She would never do anything like this.
She did the surrogacy to pay for college.
- Lisa Defasio, she dropped out five years back
when her mom got cancer.
She's an only child, so took care of the mom.
The mom died two weeks ago.
- Ian, tell me you're not hacking medical records.
- No need. Lisa blogged about it.
About how helpless she felt seeing her mother suffer.
The whole thing reads like a--a cry for help.
- Sir, Port Authority just reviewed footage
and spotted our Charger on the GW Bridge
at 10:42 this morning.
They sent over video.
- She must've headed to Jersey
after she made the call to the Harpers.

I don't see the kid.
Who does Lisa know in Jersey?
- Um, her mom owns two rental properties in Jersey,
and they're both unoccupied.
