"Once upon a time on the edge of a great forest, there lived a woodcutter and his wife." "They were poor and had barely enough to live on, but they loved each other and they loved their two children, Hansel and Gretel." "It was a time of famine in the forest, and the woodcutter and his wife could hardly find food to fill their own bellies." "Let alone their two children." "They didn't know what to do." "In the end the woodcutter said," ""We'll have to take the children into the woods," ""and leave them to fend for themselves. "" "While his wife was still sleeping the next morning, he took the children out with him when he went to chop wood." "He said, "Sit and sleep under this tree while I get to work." ""I'll wake you when it's time to go home."" "But when they awoke it was dark, and there was no sign of their father." "They were alone in the big, dark forest, all alone." "Now Hansel and Gretel were very scared." "They ran through the woods, but everywhere they'd see the wild animals were waking." "Then they saw ahead of them a wonderful house that looked like a giant tree, but inside there lived a wicked witch who killed children and ate them." "And when the children came closer the tree began to move." "(Man):" "Scotty, you better practice that Nintendo, because when I get home I'm gonna win." " No way!" " Yeah!"

"He seems happier on the formula." "The milk comes from deep inside you, it's supposed to be watery." "Water's what he needs most." "Especially in the first month." "And you know, there are antibodies in a mother's milk that no formula can duplicate." "So you think I should try again?" "Yeah." "It's really important." "Did you know that after four weeks, their little blood cells change?" "Yeah." "After four weeks they're not baby cells anymore." "They're just like ours." "She's very attractive." "Not bad."

"(Jake coos)" "(heavy breathing)" "Where the hell have you been?" "Mr. Sterling." "Where have you been?" "We spent the morning at the zoo, and then we had to wait for a bus." "Did Dr. Klein see him?" "No, I didn't think it was necessary." "I told you I wanted Dr. Klein to see him!" "He's perfectly fine." "He had a lovely time, actually." "Sure he had a lovely time, babies always have a lovely time, he has a lovely time lying' on the rug!" "Will you please stop shouting?" "(Jake cooing)" "What's going on here?" "I told Kate I didn't think he needed a doctor." "That's right, she did." "What's the matter?" "(button clicking)" "(Ned):" "Phil, listen to me." "I saw something tonight."

"No." "You took care of the Sheridan children, didn't you?" "You took care of Lia Sheridan, didn't you?" "No." "Phil, what is this?" "She took the Sheridan baby" "How dare you!" "I made some calls today." "Calls I should've made a long time ago, but thank God I made 'em today!" "The first was to a Harold Freeman, of Madison, Wisconsin." "How is Mr. Freeman?" "I don't know how he is!" "But he's not in Madison, Wisconsin!" "People at this number never heard of Harold Freeman!" "I remember getting a letter from Mrs. Freeman." "They moved." "To Oak Park, Michigan." "To be nearer Mrs. Freeman's mother." "Oh, you've got the letter?" "Yes, I may have!" "What about Dr. Miller in Athens, Ohio?" "The number doesn't exist!" "Well, Dr. Miller must have changed his telephone system." "The operator said this number never existed!" "But every single number I call, nobody's heard of you!" "I talked to the employment agency, Guardian Angel." "They said yes, they have a Camilla Grandier registered with them, but no, she wasn't recommended for this job!" "Why are you doing this?" "Let her do the talking!" "What do you say, Camilla?" "Or is it Diana?" "Diana Julian?" "It's true, I wasn't recommended by the agency." "Who are you?" "Name me one person who can confirm who you are!" "Besides Molly Sheridan!" "I heard about the job through a very dear, close friend of mine." "Who?" "She persuaded me to come along, she got my resume to you!" "Give me her name!" "Give me her number!" "She's a very good friend of mine, she was very kind to me!" "What was her name?" "Arlene Russell." "That's a lie like everything else you told us!" "Hey, I want you to come to Molly Sheridan's house." "I most certainly will not!" "Oh, no, of course you won't!" "I'm not staying in this house a minute longer." "Good, 'cause I don't want you here!" "Stop it!" "Diana Julian, or whatever the hell your name is, you're fired!" "(Camilla grunts)" "Get out of my house." "(Jake cooing)" "(door opening)" "Get rid of all this stuff!" "(Jake whining)" "Something's wrong with him." "Phil, something's wrong." "(footsteps)" "How long has he been like this?" "About three hours." "He hasn't opened his eyes at all." "Is his breathing normal?" " Oh yes, fine." " Oh, thank God." "Has he eaten anything?" "I think he last ate around lunchtime today or something." "(sighs)" "Why won't he wake up?" "Several possibilities." "One would be meningitis." "What's that?" "Inflammation of the lining of the brain." "Which could be why he's not responding to stimuli." "How long can he stay like this?" "Oh, not longer than 24 hours, but that's..." "That's what?" "But then what?" "After 24 hours, what?" "Have you started him on the new formula?" "I started breastfeeding him again." "I see." "You didn't tell me." "You don't think that that's what" "No, no." "Well..." "We could run some tests with Kate, but that's so remote." "I'm gonna check his glucose level." "Just to rule out hypoglycemia." "Then we can start looking into neurological possibilities." "(Kate sniffs)" "(beeping)" "Oh, God." "Please hear me." "Just make my baby better." "Please." "Please help me." "(Jake cooing)" "Jake?" "(Kate laughs)" "He's okay." "God." "I'll find Dr. Klein."

"It was fine." "How's the little guy?" "He's better, he had some breakfast." "I have a son." "Two years old." "Yeah?" "Okay, let's start at the beginning." "The Guardian Angel agency had a woman named Grandier, but they never sent her to you." "She moved back to New Orleans a few months ago." "We knew that." "You say your lady was British?" "Well, that's what she said." "We have no record of her at immigration." "I told you, her ID was fake." "Her references were fake." "We went back to the woods behind your house." "I had it photographed from top to bottom." "You saw the tree?" " Mmm-hm." " The babies?" "You mean the carvings?" "They're not carvings, that's, that's where she took the babies!" "She takes them" "Mr. Sterling, we didn't find her body." "What?" "Jeep tracks everywhere, like you said, but" "Of course there were Jeep tracks!" "I hit her with the Jeep, I ran her over," "I hit her full force, I mean..." "The Jeep must have been going 50 miles an hour!" "I know, that's" "I killed her!" "She was dead!" "I saw her." "She's dead." "Did you feel her pulse?" "No, I didn't feel her pulse, I'm telling you" "I know what you're telling me, Mr. Sterling, you also told me she was flying at you through the trees." " I know how that sounds." " You do?" "It's the truth." "You seem like decent people." "But what you're saying makes no sense." "I know you've had a terrible experience, not sure just what, but it's obvious" "We're not making this up." "I don't know what I can do to help." "There is no body, no crime." "Your son is okay, thank God." "But there's no evidence that the woman you describe ever existed." "I suggest you go to a hotel." "I can send a man with you." "Get some rest, and then, if you want, you can talk to the psychologist." "(scoffs) That's all right." "Thank you." "You've been really helpful." "(phones ringing)" "What are your plans?" "Go back to the house, pack our things." "Get the hell out of here." "Then what?" "(dramatic music)" "(birds tweeting)" "(crickets chirping)" "Daddy'll be home soon, honey." "Then we're going."
