That little smirk.....
In the back of the police car. Awesome. Those guys didn't scare her one bit. You hold your head up high when they grab you. Ives them WAY less satisfaction.
shareThat isn't why she smirked. He said "so you make a habit of taking kids into protective custody?"
Which was essentially his way of saying once we have filed charges how about you do this for a career where it's legal. She basically did the illegal definition of CPS. Now she will be able to do it legitimately.
It's a shame they didn't actually show it or tell you this explicitly but that's why she smirked.
I think you're 100 percent correct. I was projecting.
shareShe's very unlikely to be hired as a CPS worker. She would be seen as a liability and a risk of taking every child she thinks may be in harms way into her own care. If she is charged there is no way she would get a job like that.
shareI interpreted it very differently.
I think she smirked because she realized that she had made the mother care for the baby, and had changed the course of the baby's life. Also Lu probably felt very relieved to have the ordeal over with.
I also doubt that the mother would press charges. She would probably feel very grateful for what Lu had indirectly done with the mother/daughter relationship as I mentioned.
"I also doubt that the mother would press charges."
Still staying fully aware this is a fictional story, in real life charges can be brought for something like kidnapping even if a parent doesn't press charges. It would be more up to law enforcement and the district attorney at the point this movie ends.
