Tonight, my guest is levi young,

You've been texting with levi young.
He was pretending to be sweetvicki.
Now that I'm in jail, levi has a lot to gain.
Are you suggesting
levi killed sarah and framed you?
I was in love with sarah.
And the night before she was murdered, we slept together.

Why are you protecting these people?
Look, I'm not heartless.
I got into this business to help couples start families.

Mr. Gilford, earlier today, mr. Keaton's attorney

What are your thoughts?
Oscar keaton is a cold-blooded murderer
whose defense is quite good at playing the media.
We will not be releasing mr. Keaton
because we have both motive and evidence.
Is it true you still haven't found the murder weapon?
Even without a weapon, it's clear what happened.
Oscar keaton is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Don't the recent revelations
in conjunction with mr. Young's suicide
point to him as a suspect?
Not at all.
Mr. Keaton's defense has propped up various unfounded allegations
in an attempt to clear their client of any wrongdoing.
That man's a natural. Not to mention he's hot.
He's good -- I'll give him that.
He's not letting louise bait him.

good evening.
In the past, we've aired
heartbreaking cases of missing children.
But tonight, we bring you a different kind of story --
a case of missing parents.
Joining us tonight is jenna polly,
a woman who agreed to help a childless couple have a baby.
Now that couple, the biological parents, have disappeared,
abandoning jenna who is nine months pregnant
with their child.
Also with us is jenna's attorney, jake gregorian.
Jenna, what happens if you can't find the biological parents
before their baby arrives?
I don't have the legal rights to put him up for adoption.
So my only options are to raise him by myself,
which I'm not in a position to do,
or to put him in the foster-care system, which I don't want to do.
Load the titles.
Jenna, what can you tell us about the parents?
They couldn't conceive on their own.
So they went to maggie sherman, a fertility lawyer,
to help them find a surrogate -- me.
Miss sherman has withheld all information
about the biological parents and refuses to help jenna.
Jenna, I understand you have a letter
from the biological parents.
You'd like to read a passage.
"our house is filled with love and laughter.
The only thing we need is a baby
to make our lives complete.
We've already built a swing set in our backyard
and a tree house in the front.
There are no words to describe how grateful we are to you.
Because of you, we can be parents."
and now they're gone.

You do not have to do this.

Unfortunately, an adoption would be void
without the biological parents' consent.
When the baby's ready to leave the hospital,
he'll be placed in foster care
until the biological parents can be found.
What happens if they never show up?
You will have to take that up with the family court.
We already did.
I wish I could do more. I'm just following protocol.

I don't understand why you stopped paying jenna
if the gowers gave you $200,000
and you only had to give her $50,000.
I was expanding my business.
Would you believe I had unexpected costs and ran out of cash?
I'm gonna make this real simple for you, doris.
I've convinced my client not to press charges
if you tell us the identity of the baby's biological parents.
[ inhales, exhales deeply ]
there are no parents.
Fine.
You want to be difficult?
No, I'm telling the truth.
I bought the egg and sperm
from the clinic in prague where the procedure was done.
And to be honest, this is partially your fault. My fault?
If your law firm hadn't entered jenna's name with the clerk's office,
I could have found another couple to adopt her baby.
Wow.
That was the scam.
Now I understand why you told the gowers
that jenna miscarried.
You were going to resell her baby.
You wanted to double-down
and make another $200,000 off the same child.
Like I said, I was running low on cash.
We're done here, right?
Yeah.
We're done.
The cops are waiting for you in the lobby.
You said you wouldn't press charges.
My client, jenna, she won't be pressing charges,
but the couple trying to adopt her baby,
yeah, I think they want to see you in prison.
I sure do.

And finally, last night's segment on jenna polly's surrogacy gone wrong
went viral after her water broke live on air.
Thousands of you have reached out
for updates on jenna's delivery,
and we're happy to report that jenna gave birth...
I don't understand.
You're saying that the biological parents
were egg and sperm donors?
From prague? That's right.
And the surrendered all parental rights
when they made their donation.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
What's going on? Mr. Gregorian, I have been instructed
to return the baby to your client, miss polly.
[ jake sighs ]
jake, I don't understand.
Under the law, because they surrendered their rights,
you're the de facto parent, which means...
I can give the baby to the gowers. Yes, that's right.
