"Maybe I'm just not ready to adopt yet." "I drove by the wine shop on the way home the other night." "Did yöu stop?" "No." "Wanted to." "The thought went through my brain, yöu know?" "It wasn't for myself." "It wasn't..." "I just thought it would be nice to have a bottle handy, in case we had guests." "But yöu didn't go in." "Mm-mm." "The key, to me is not that yöu had the urge but that yöu resisted it." "yöu wouldn't have made it through the home study if yöu weren't ready." "But, ultimately yöu have to decide." "Hi." "Honey, hello." "Let me see." "Ooh." "Did yöu paint this?" "It's a beautiful butterfly." "It's fantastic." "Really wonderful." "Good." "Let's go." "I'm cold." "Are yöu okay?" "Ah!" "Max!" "Max!"

"I wanna take the love we felt for Jessica and I wanna give it to somebody who really needs it." "Are yöu sure, hon?" "Yes." "Wanna make a snowman?" "Sure." "It's really cold out here." "Hey, stop it." "Hi." "Hi." "So glad yöu could make it." " So are we." " Yeah, finally, right?" " So good to see yöu." "Thank yöu for coming." " This is really something." "So go take a look around."

"Hello?" "Hi." "Are all these paintings yöurs?" " Yes." "Do yöu like them?" " They're remarkable." "Thank yöu." "My name is Esther." "What's yöurs?" "John." "Nice to meet yöu." " Can I take a seat?" " Of course." "I never get tired of watching these kids enjoy the party." "It really is." "I'm so sorry we didn't do this sooner." "Don't be." "It's a big leap." "Adopting an older child is not an easy decision to make." "John's in the bathroom." "Think he'll find us?" "Do yöu wanna go look for him?" " Where did yöu get the idea for this one?" " My paintings always tell stories." "This one's about a sad mother lion who can't find her cubs." " She's smiling." " She's dreaming about her babies." "It's the only thing that makes her happy." " I hope she finds them." " She will." "Look." "They were lost in the jungle, and they were so scared because they didn't have a mother." "Just when they thought they'd be alone forever they found their mother asleep under this tree." "Now when she wakes up, her dream will have come true." " She'll have her family again." " Amazing. yöu came up with that story?" "I think I hear his voice down here." " Yes." "Hey." "I want to introduce yöu." "This is my wife, Kate." "Kate, this is Esther." "Hello." "How are yöu?" "Nice to meet yöu." "She painted all these." " Really?" " Yeah." "These are fantastic." "These are really wonderful." " Thank yöu." " Where did yöu learn how to do this?" "I've just had lots of time to practice, I guess." "It's really boring here." "It's boring here?" "If yöu're so bored, why aren't yöu down at the party?" "I've never really seen the point of it." "Nobody's ever talked to me before." "I guess I'm different." "There's nothing wrong with being different." "Well, yöu two have a lot in common." "I think people should always try to take the bad things that happen to them and turn them into something good." " Don't yöu?" " Yeah." "Absolutely." "She's originally from Russia, but it's amazing how strong her English is." "She's only been in the country a few years." "yöu get children from other countries?" "It's rare." "But when we do, it's sometimes difficult to place them." "The family that brought her to America died in a house fire." "In a fire?" "My God." "Esther barely got out." "She's been through a lot, but this is an extraordinary little girl." "She's very bright." "She's very mature for her age." "And she's very well-mannered." "She's a bit of a princess, actually." "She wears those ribbons on her wrists and her neck all the time." "Mine too." "We had trouble with her when we tried to take them off." "How does she get along with other kids?" "Oh, when she has to interact, she's great." "Babe?" " She really did seem to open up with us." " Yeah." "I thought she more than opened up with yöu." "yöu seem to have made quite a connection." "I could get the paperwork together and see yöu back here in three weeks." "All right." "Okey-dokey." "Call me if yöu need anything." "Bye." "Okay, thank yöu." "Oh, that's T-H." "T" " H. Yeah." "And "Max" is like this?" "Yeah." "Good." " Is this yöur house?" "Now it's yöur house too." "Hi, sweetie." "Hi." "Look who's here." "Hello, Max." "My name is Esther." "She's been practicing the whole way." " Can she hear?" "A little." "She was born almost completely deaf." "That just allows her to hear enough to read lips." "That's all right, I got it." "I'd like to introduce yöu to Grandma Barbara." "It's a pleasure to meet yöu." "That's precious." "It's a pleasure to meet yöu too." "Danny." "This is Esther." "Hello, Daniel." "Hey." "Why does she dress like that?" " Come on." "Stop it." " I'm just asking a question." "Oh!" " yöu have a piano?" " Yeah." " Would yöu like to learn how to play?" " I would love to." "Do yöu like it?" " It's perfect." "Good." "Thank yöu." "How do yöu say "thank yöu"?" "Thank yöu." "Wow, look at that." "What?" "What?" "What?" "Dad, look." " Dad." "Where did yöu get that?" "Dad, look, I'm killing Trevor." "Great." "Yes." "Thank yöu." "Come on, Dad." "My solo's gonna end." "Hurry, look." "Wow, cool." "Trevor, yöu suck." "Shut up." "That's fabulous." "Come on, guys." "This is lame." "I was just about to beat yöu." "I'm glad yöu like it, honey." "Come on, guys." "Hurry up, I'm freezing my ass off." "Dude, it's all in here." "Oh, God." "My hands are freezing." "Oh, man, she's hot." " Move over, man." " Page 34 will change yöur life." "Whoa." "This looks like yöur mom." "No." "Esther and Maxine seem to be getting along well." "Yeah." "How's she doing, Kate?" "Esther's fitting right in." "I meant Maxine." "She's playing by the pond like nothing ever happened." "She doesn't remember, does she?" "No." "She's fine." "So, what are yöur plans?" "yöu know, probably get Esther settled then go back to teaching." "Thought they weren't gonna take yöu back." "No, I'm not talking about Yale." "I'll just..." "I'll probably give lessons from home." "That's too bad." "That was a very good job." "Well, I didn't quit because I wanted to." "I know." "yöu had to have yöur moment of clarity." "That is an A.A. term." "And I didn't go to A.A. I just stopped drinking." "Same difference." "We all need a wake-up call sometimes." "Hi." "Hi." " Come here." "Yeah?" " Oh, hey." " We're scared of the lightning." "Oh, come in." " I wanna sleep next to Daddy." " Hang on." "Okay." "I'm gonna call later, make sure everything's okay." "Okay." "They're gonna love yöur design." " yöu gonna pick up the phone?" " Yeah." "All right." "Esther?" "Esther?" "Come on." "Esther, come on, we gotta go!" "yöu gotta be kidding me." "Wow." "Uh..." " Will yöu please go wait in the car?" " Come on." "Sweetheart, this isn't really a school dress." "But I like it." "Don't yöu think it's pretty?" "Yes, it's so beautiful but I just don't think yöu're gonna be comfortable in it." "What about those jeans?" "yöu're afraid the other children will laugh at me." "I thought yöu said there wasn't anything wrong with being different." "Yes, yöu're right." "yöu're absolutely right." "Okay." "Have fun." "Take a seat, please." "Take a seat." "Don't make me ask again, please." "Okay, this is our new student." "Her name's Esther Coleman." "And I'd like yöu all to make her feel very welcome today." "Oh, look." "Little Bo Peep texted me." "She wants her outfit back." "Okay, go take a seat." "Okay, if everybody could turn to Page 27..." "No!" "No!" "Esther, what are yöu doing?" "Get away from there!" "No!" "yöu don't play near the water!" "yöu know that!" "Come on, get out!" "Max." "Sweet." "Bull's-eye." "Got yöu." "Did yöu kill it?" " I didn't think it would hurt him." "Put it out of its misery." " It's in pain, and it's yöur responsibility." " It was just an accident." "If yöu walk away now, it'll starve to death." "Is that what yöu want?" "I'm not doing it." "It's all right." " It's in heaven now." " What's wrong with yöu?" "Is the water warm enough?" "Yes, thank yöu." "Okay." "Call me if yöu need anything." "Esther?" "Esther." "Open this door." " What are yöu doing?" " I always lock the door." "No, we don't lock doors in this house." "But what if someone comes in and sees me?" "Nobody's gonna come in." "Look, I'm gonna stand right here, if that's what yöu want." "I could sing for yöu." "I used to sing for the sisters so they would know I was all right." "Okay." "All right." "But yöu know what?" "This is just for tonight." "yöur parents must have gone to a lot of retard camps to find her." "Watch it." "Are yöu okay?" "Is this a Bible?" "Jesus Freak brought a Bible to school today." "Hey, wanna come over?" "Good one." " yöur sister's a total spaz." "She's not my sister." "I can't believe yöu did that." "Oh, little doggy." "Is this yöur collar, little doggy?" "Not A. A, B." "yöu did really good." "No, I didn't." "I made like 11 mistakes." "I'll do better next time." "yöur teacher told me what happened today." "Don't yöu want to talk about it?" "There's nothing to talk about." "yöu know I'm here for yöu, right?" "yöu know that, right?" "I got something I wanna show yöu." "I have one just like this that I use as a diary." "And I thought that maybe yöu and I could use this one for a scrapbook." "That's Mommy and Daddy on their wedding day." "That's Daniel, Christmas morning." "Here's Max." "And there's yöu." "Who's Jessica?" "Max talks about her." ""I never held yöu, but I feel yöu." "yöu never spoke, but I hear yöu." "I never knew yöu, but I love yöu. "" "What happened to her?" "She died while she was still in my tummy." "But we scattered her ashes here." "And as long as this plant grows then part of her will be alive inside it." "She would have been lucky." "yöu're a great mommy." "Thank yöu, sweetheart." "Thank yöu." "It means a lot." "How are yöu?" "I'm good." "It's very interesting." "Esther started to open up today." "That's very interesting." "I'm starting to feel like there's a real connection." "Me too." "No, honey, not here." " Shh." "They're sleeping." "Baby, come here, yöu'll like it, believe me." " Okay, let's get down to business." " No, no, no." "Okay, just for a second, then." "Yeah." " No, no, no." " Come on." "I have to." "Wait, wait, wait." "Yeah." " Ow!" " Oh, sorry." "Oh, Jesus." "Jesus, honey." "Damn it." "Esther?" "We have to talk about last night." " Do we?" " Yes, we do." "See, there are certain things that grown-ups do that children aren't supposed to see." "And that was one of them." "Esther, listen to me." "When grown-ups love each other very, very much they wanna show each other that love." "Express it." "I know." "They fuck." "She could've picked it up anywhere." "Probably at school." "This wasn't something she overheard." "I mean, she knew what it meant." "Huh." "And, babe, the way she said it is..." "I don't even think she expected to get in trouble over it." "Well, we'll talk to her about it tonight." "Fine." "Well, what did yöu have in mind?" "No, I thought we could take her to Dr. Browning." "I don't think we need to take her to the shrink quite yet." "Well, yöu know, we just don't know that much about her." "The family she stayed with could've been like:" ""Pass the fucking potatoes" at dinnertime, yöu know?" "If she's saying it to my face, what is she saying when we're not there?" "I don't want her exerting that kind of influence over Max." "Anyway, I just don't want to make a big deal out of one little dirty word." "Fine." "Fucking spend some time with her, then." "All right, bitch." "Let's have a snow fight!" "Come on, no throwing snowballs." "Hey, neighbor." " Hey." " Haven't seen yöu around lately." "I've been pretty busy." "Has the homeowners' association been soldiering on without me?" "It's not the same." "Um, actually, I had a favor to ask." "I have a chair that I need moved upstairs and I was hoping yöu could come by and help me with that sometime." "Yeah." " Yeah, sure." " Good." "Maybe Kate and I could help yöu out." "Just let us know." "I'll call yöu." "Let's go, honey." "Okay, I'm watching yöu." "Brenda's father says that yöu pushed her." "That's not true." "We were just playing." "I swear." " Okay." " And did yöu see what happened?" "What?" "Mom, what's she saying?" "She wants yöu to pass the bread and butter." " Wasn't asking yöu." "Hey, now." "Can yöu eat normal?" "I am eating normal." "Yeah, maybe in Transylvania, or whatever country yöu're from." "Incidentally, I'm from Russia." "Transylvania isn't even a country." "It's a part of Romania." "yöu are such a freak." " Hey." " Hey, Danny." "I don't want any more talk like that." "But why does she have to act like that?" "All my friends make fun of me because of her." "Maybe yöu need different friends." "Maybe yöu should send her back to the retard camp." " Daniel." " Daniel." "Apologize to yöur sister." "She's not my fucking sister." "I got it." "Okay." "That's me." "yöu get the key back when yöu say yöu're sorry." "Is there anything special yöu want me to make tonight?" "yöu have any favorites?" "Hello." " Well, how are yöu?" " Hi, we're great." "We're doing good." " How is she?" "She's here, hold on." "Hey, Sister Abigail." "Do yöu wanna say hello?" " Come on." "Esther, just quickly say hi." " I said, no." "yöu know what, do yöu mind, darling, can yöu get five apples for me?" "Sorry, she got shy all of a sudden." "It's all right." "I'm just calling to remind yöu that I'm gonna need her medical and dental charts for my supervision report." "She's not thrilled about the dentist." "How is everyone doing?" "Is she opening up to yöu?" "I guess yöu can say that." "She dropped the F-bomb on me a few weeks ago." "I guess she's finally coming out of her shell." "Yeah." "Any other glitches I should know of?" "We had a big one recently." "It's a girl named Brenda at school." "They were at the playground, there was a slide, well, she fell off." "Esther may have pushed her down." "I'm not getting the story straight, but she got hurt." "Is she all right?" "Luckily." "She broke her ankle and had something like six stitches." "That doesn't sound too lucky." "Well, she's lucky she didn't break her neck." "yöu told me yöu didn't know how to play." " No, I didn't." " Yes, yöu did." "yöu offered to teach me and I accepted." "Okay." "So then yöu were just pretending this whole time?" "I thought yöu would enjoy teaching me." "It must be frustrating for someone who loves music as much as yöu to have a son who isn't interested and a daughter who can't even hear." "Wait, wait, wait." "I walk in on her playing Tchaikovsky without a mistake." "I mean, she's been lying to me this whole time." "She just wants to spend time with yöu." "It's hardly a lie." "yöu wouldn't know." "yöu wouldn't." "She's on her best behavior with yöu." "She's completely different with me." "So, what are yöu saying?" "I don't know." "She threw a fit at school." "She pushed Brenda at the playground." " Now yöu're saying that was her fault?" " I don't know." "Honey, I don't know." "I wasn't there." "yöu were watching them." "Oh, come on." "It was an accident." "Okay, let's not blame her for anything, fine." "I'll take her word for everything." "Should I just believe what she said about yöu and Joyce too?" "What did she say?" " She says that yöu were hitting on her." " What?" "Oh, come on." "She must've misunderstood." "It was, like..." "Did she invite yöu over?" "She asked me to help her move a chair." " She did?" " Yeah." "I blew her off." "Oh, God." "Why didn't yöu tell me?" " I..." " We could've laughed about it." " No, I knew how..." " yöu were hiding it." "Honey, I knew how yöu'd react." "Kate." "Kate." "yöu can't get jealous of every woman that I talk to, right?" " It's been like 10 years." " What does that mean?" "yöu say that like it actually means something." "It's only been two years since yöu told me." "yöu know how sorry I am." "I just feel like I've earned a little trust here." " I gave yöu a second chance." " That's not fair." "That's not fair." "Let me get this straight." "We can talk about my mistakes, not yöurs?" "I was sick!" "yöu were an asshole who wanted to fuck somebody else!" "yöu put our child's life in danger." "I could've walked away months ago." "Nobody would've blamed me." "Oh, that's sharp." "That's sharp." "Where did yöu get that from, yöur mother?" "Danny." "Turn that crap down, please, I gotta work." " Fine." " Thank yöu." "I'll get it." " Hello, Esther." " What are yöu doing here?" "May I come in?" "I'm afraid I may have made a mistake." "There could be something wrong with Esther." "What?" "What?" "yöu told us that yöu'd never had any trouble with her." "I didn't." "But trouble does have a way of finding her." "What kind of trouble?" "Two girls get into a fight, there she is." "Someone gets caught stealing, there she is again." " So?" "Does that mean...?" " Just let her finish." "After yöu told me about the girl in the playground, I called her old school." "While she was there, there was a boy who fell with scissors in his hand and accidentally stabbed himself through the jaw." "And Esther was there again." "I don't understand." "He accidentally stabbed himself." "But the most troubling thing is the Sullivan house fire." "I checked into it further." "It was arson." "They have never found the person who did it." "What are yöu suggesting here?" "That she had anything to do with any of this?" "It's ridiculous." "That a child could commit such crimes it flies in the face of everything I believe." "Well, yeah." "There's a mean lady here." "She's come to take me away." "Will yöu help me?" "We've had some behavioral problems, but..." "Yeah, nothing like that." "I mean, right?" " Yes, we have." "Really, hon, think about it." "I've tried to reach the Russian orphanage where she was raised." "I think we need to know what we're dealing with." "Well, I'll tell yöu what we're dealing with." "No, yöu know what?" " Stop it." "Listen." "We're dealing with a 9-year-old girl who's an orphan, okay?" " We're taking her to Dr. Browning." " We can take her to Dr. Browning." "Do yöu want to play?" "I'll call yöu as soon as I find anything else out." "Right." "Take care." "Okay." "Thank yöu very much." "Maybe later." "It's going to be fine." "We'll scare her so bad she'll never come back here." "Here she comes." "Wave yöur arms and make her stop." "Max, go." "yöu all right?" "Max?" "Max?" "yöu okay?" "Stop crying." "Grab a foot and help me get her off the road." "Now." "Help me hide her." "That doesn't matter." "They'll send yöu to jail just for helping me hide her." "I had to kill her because she was going to tell on me." "yöu're not going to tell on me." "Are yöu?" "Don't worry." "yöu're my little sister." "I won't let anything happen to yöu." "I love yöu." "Tell me what yöu saw." " What are yöu doing?" " What did yöu see?" "I saw yöu and Max in the tree house." "What else?" " What do yöu mean?" " What else did yöu see?" "I didn't see anything." "I swear." " Did yöu tell anyone?" " No." "I didn't tell anyone." "Please..." "If I find out that yöu're lying, I'll cut yöur hairless little prick off before yöu even figure out what it's for." " Do yöu understand me?" " Yes." "yöu pissed yöurself." "It was nice talking to yöu, Alice." "I hope we can be friends." "I'd like that." " We'll be right out, honey." " yöu can come on in." "My initial instinct is that there's not a deeply-rooted problem in Esther's past." " So there's nothing wrong with her?" " No." "It's not all good news." "I think what needs to be examined is Esther's relationship with those around her." "Specifically with yöu, Kate." "It seems she feels there's been some real tension between the two of yöu." " Okay." " She's doing her best to please yöu but yöu're blocking her attempts to bond." "That's not true." "That's not true at all." "I've done everything." " Right?" " Just let her finish." "Something's happening to cause Esther to feel this way." "Perhaps it's yöur guilt about drinking or what happened to Max." "Maybe some of yöur feelings of inadequacy as a mother are manifesting themselves in yöur relationship with Esther." "I don't feel inadequate." "What did she tell yöu?" "She didn't see." "She doesn't know." "She's so stupid." "Esther's a very shy, reserved sensitive little girl going through an extremely difficult time." "She's exceptionally bright and highly articulate." "She just needs a little patience and understanding." "Thanks for yöur support back there." "That was yöur idea." "Kate, wait, wait, wait." "I'm not a psychiatrist, but a lot of what she said made sense." "Do yöu wanna get that?" " Hello?" "Hello, is this Mrs. Coleman?" "Yes." "Who's this?" "This is Sister Judith from St. Mariana's." "I'm sorry to bother yöu, but I need to know if Sister Abigail made it to her appointment with yöu." "Yes." "Why?" "She hasn't returned since yesterday and I'm just starting to get really worried." "Charlie 24, yöu wanna hold them there?" "Hey." "Okay, I think we're done." "Detective, do yöu have any leads or suspects?" "No, not yet." " I just don't understand this kind of thing." "Who would do this?" "It's..." "Awful." "yöu think of anything else, yöu give us a call." "Yes." "Absolutely." "Let's go." "This is what Sister Abigail was talking about." "Look." ""Character-disturbed children. " Look at the symptoms." ""Superficially charming." "Difficulty at making and keeping friends. "" "I'm not sure this is what she meant." "She could've told Dr. Browning whatever she wanted to hear." "Look." "They "are adroit manipulators oftentimes playing people off one another to get what they want. "" "Well, yöu gonna show this to Dr. Browning?" "I'm not showing her anything." "I'm not seeing her anymore." " When did yöu decide that?" " When do yöu think?" "yöu're gonna discount Dr. Browning?" "Why does everyone get the benefit of the doubt from yöu except for me?" "If yöu need help with the kids, we can arrange that." "I don't need help." "I just wanna know more about her." "I wanna know where she came from, and I wanna know who she is." "What if Sister Abigail was right?" "I mean, if someone was in danger, our own children wouldn't yöu wanna know?" " Of course I would." "I'll contact the orphanage she came from in Russia." "All right?" "I mean, it's a start." " What?" "Hey." "Fine." "I was wondering if yöu'd heard from anyone at the Sludyanka Shelter." "Sister Abigail had mentioned that she would..." "Oh, yöu did." "I don't understand." "How can they have no record of her being there?" "Yes, please." "Could yöu just call me as soon as yöu know anything, please?" "Thank yöu." "Esther, we gotta go." "Esther?" "Esther?" "yöu got me." " What?" " I don't want to go to the dentist." " Why not?" " I just don't want to go." " What, are yöu scared?" " No." "We're gonna reschedule, though." "Tell yöu what, I'll let yöu play hooky if yöu want to come and draw with me." "All right." "Wait, Daniel." "How are yöu two getting along with Esther?" "Fine, I guess." "Yeah?" "Yeah, Mom." "But has she ever made yöu feel, I don't know, uncomfortable or has she done anything that she's not supposed to do?" " No." " Like, has she ever hurt any of yöu?" "No." "yöu sure?" "Okay." "All right." "I like it when it's just the two of us." "yöu don't know how long I've waited for a daddy just like yöu." "Mommy too, right?" "I don't think Mommy likes me very much." "Hey." " That is not true." "Mommy loves yöu." " It's all right." "It must be hard to love an adopted child as much as yöur own." "Sweetheart, yöu're just as much a part of this family as Danny and Max." "Okay?" "Do something nice for Mommy." "Show her how much yöu love her." "That's a wonderful idea." "I have a special surprise for yöu, Mommy." "yöu do?" "I picked these flowers just for yöu." " Esther, what did yöu do?" "God." "My arm!" "Why did yöu do this?" " Daddy, my arm!" "John!" " Hey." "What did yöu do?" "Hey." "Stop, stop." "Why did yöu do this?" " Oh, God." "God, she did this on purpose." " No, no, no." " Yes, she did." " Hey." "Honey, no." "She knew what these roses meant to me." "It's my fault, hon." "I told her to do something nice for yöu." "I can't believe this." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy, Daddy!" "What is it, honey?" "My arm still hurts." "Can I have a look at it?" "yöu're okay." "I'll be gentle." "It's all right, honey." "Oh, my God." "We need to take yöu to the hospital." "yöu're a brave little girl, yöu know that?" "Doctor said yöu're gonna heal real fast, okay?" "yöu broke her arm." "It's impossible." "I didn't grab her that hard." "She wants to sleep in here tonight." "Maybe yöu should sleep downstairs." "I'm having guests for dinner." "yöu know, yöu can have it." "Thanks." "Have a good day." "Daniel." "yöur books." " What happened?" "Let me see yöur bag." " I don't know." "We just bought this." "Pick it up, it's gonna get wet." "Mom!" "Max!" "No!" "Help!" "Max!" "Max!" "Max!" "Max!" "Are yöu okay?" "I'm here." "Mommy's here." "yöu're okay, honey." "Come on." "I got yöu." "Yeah." "Oh, baby, it's okay." "I'm so sorry." "I remember I put it in park and I set the brake." "Max didn't indicate that Esther did anything." "Well, Max is covering for her." "And I don't think it's the first time." "It also wouldn't be the first time yöu blamed Esther for yöur own mistake." "yöu know what?" "I want her out of this house." "yöu're ready for somebody to come and take her?" "I am." "I don't care." "I will do whatever it takes to protect my children." "The girls found this this morning." "The girls found it." "yöu mean Esther found it." "Yes, Esther." "Does it make any difference?" "Is she lying?" "yöu need help." "We've reserved a place for yöu in a rehabilitation facility about 45 minutes from here." "I didn't drink it." "I bought two bottles." "I poured one of them down the sink." " But not this one?" " No." "John, I haven't had a drink in almost a year." "We wanna help yöu, but there's nothing we can do until yöu stop lying to yöurself." "I'm not lying." "I wanted to drink it." "yöu have no fucking idea how badly I wanted to drink it, but I didn't." " I didn't drink it." " If Max had gotten hurt..." "What happened this morning has nothing to do with this." "I find that hard to believe." "The only reason that I'm sober is because of Max and Daniel." "I think about what would have happened had yöu not been there and it makes me wanna kill myself." "I would never do anything to let something like that ever happen again." "I wouldn't." "That is so manipulative." "I know I haven't given yöu reason to believe me, I know I haven't." "I lied to yöu." "I should have told yöu about this." "I'll go to therapy, I'll go to fucking A.A. if that's what yöu want but yöu have to believe me." " I don't." "yöu have to believe me." "John, yöu have to trust me on this." "I'll give yöu a week to go to rehab or I'm leaving and I'm taking the kids with me." "I think that's fair, okay?" "I'll help yöu as much as I can, make it really easy." "Mom's gonna come in the afternoon." "All right?" "I'm willing to do this." "I'm willing to try and figure this out." " But it's up to yöu." " I'll shoot Mommy if yöu tell." "Max." "Max, are yöu okay?" "What did she do?" "Did she do something to make the car crash?" "If yöu saw her, yöu have to help me, so Mom and Dad can protect us." "Why not?" "Is that Sister Abigail?" "Max." "What did she do in my tree house?" "Are the bad things still there?" "Everything's gonna be okay." "I'll get the stuff from the tree house." "Then they'll have to believe us." " Going somewhere, Kate?" " What are yöu doing here?" "She's fine." "Let's not wake her." "Go to yöur room." "Honestly, we're past that now." "Aren't we?" "I know what yöu're doing." "I will not let yöu hurt my children." "Me?" "I'm not the one who passed out drunk and let Max almost drown in the pond." "If it wasn't for John she'd be dead, and yöu'd probably still be in jail." "Who told yöu that?" "It's very intimate." " I learned so much." " Give it to me." " Jessica. yöur cheating husband." " Esther, give it to me." "Where yöu hide yöur wine bottles." "I'm..." "I'm warning yöu right now." ""She was still kicking when the doctor told me it was something called phantom fetal movement." " For 16 days, I carried my dead baby. "" " Stop it." "Esther." ""It was the cruelest torture I could imagine. "" "Stop it. yöu stop it." "What's wrong with yöu?" "Kate, it's too late." "It's yöur own fault." "yöu took yöur family for granted." " What do yöu mean?" " What are yöu going to do?" "Hit me?" "We adopted her from yöu." "How could yöu not know anything?" "The Sullivans could have adopted her illegally." "She doesn't remember anything that could help us?" "I'm gonna call yöu back." ""Saarne Institute. "" "Hello." "Do yöu speak English?" "Do yöu speak English?" "Is there anyone who speaks English there?" "This is very important." "I don't know what yöu're saying." " Hello?" " Is this the Saarne Institute?" "Yes." "Yes." "I need to talk to somebody about one of yöur children." "She was adopted by an American family." "It's a girl." "She is not come from here." "Well, I haven't even told yöu her name yet." "yöu do not understand." "Saarne Institute is not an orphanage." "It is a mental hospital." "Are yöu looking for this?" "Poor Sister Abigail." "I couldn't have done it myself, yöu know." "Max is just as guilty as I am." " Whatever Max did, yöu made her do it." " Think about it." "How did she even know what was up here?" "It's always better to burn the evidence." "If they find these things, they won't just be coming for me." "They'll be coming for Max too." " Is that really what yöu want?" " Wait." "What are yöu doing?" "Are yöu crazy?" "Let me out!" "Let me out of here!" "Mom!" "It's called the Saarne Institute." "S" " A-A-R-N-E, Saarne." "It's in Estonia." "Estonia?" "No, this can't be right." "All of her paperwork is from Russia." "I'm sending them a picture of her right now." "Maybe her birth mother was a patient there." "I don't know." "Maybe she was even born there." "Mom!" "Help!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "Oh, God!" "Oh, God." "Call 911!" "Don't worry. yöu're going to heaven." "Oh, God!" "Oh, my God!" "Daniel!" "Move away!" "Move away from the fire!" "Daniel?" "Oh, God, no." "Daniel?" "Mommy's right here." "Can yöu hear me?" "Please wake up." "Honey, Mommy's right here, okay?" "yöu're gonna be all right." "We stopped the abdominal bleeding, but he has a very serious neck injury." "He's stabilized for now. yöu should consider yöurselves very lucky." " Can we see him?" "In a little while." "He's resting in the ICU." "Okay." "And will he be able to tell us what happened?" "It's possible." "No way of knowing for sure what he'll remember until he wakes up." "Excuse me." "It's gonna be okay." "I know yöu're exhausted and upset, and so am I." "There has to be some other explanation." "She didn't come from an insane asylum." "The orphanage yöu thought she came from has never heard of her." "Everything about her could be a lie." "We have her passport." "We have school records, medical records." "These are papers from around the world." "What is this?" "It's a piece of paper." "yöur own mother was there this time." "It wasn't just me. yöur mother was there." "It's either Esther or Daniel who started the fire." " Who do yöu think it was?" " I don't know." "I'm so done." "I'm done connecting these dots for yöu." "yöu know, yöu can think whatever yöu want about me." "I will leave tonight." "If that's what yöu want, I will leave tonight." "On one condition." "Esther goes too."

"I love yöu." "Hello, Daddy." " What are yöu wearing?" " Do yöu like it?" "Oh, Jesus." "Look at yöu." "What have yöu done to yöur face?" "What is this?" "I don't want to be alone." "I'm scared."

"I really care about yöu, John." "Yeah, I know, Esther." "I'm just..." "I'm tired." "I'm very tired." "And I don't know what to do." "It's difficult." "I mean, everything is just falling apart and, oh, my God, I'm so worried for Daniel." "Oh, God." "yöu're a good person, John." "yöu're a great father." "And a handsome man." "Jesus Christ!" "My God, stop, stop, stop!" "Just stop talking and go upstairs!" "Go to yöur room!" " Stop talking to me like I'm a child." " I'm calling Sister Judith tomorrow." "We're gonna have a conversation about yöur future in this house." "I just..." "I can't do it anymore." "Fine." "Esther." " Hello?" "Is this Katherine Coleman?" " Hello?" " Yeah." "This is she." "My name is Dr. Värava." "I'm calling from the Saarne Institute." " I've just seen the picture yöu e-mailed." " And do yöu recognize her?" "Where is she right now?" "Is she someplace where she can hear yöu?" "No, she's not with me." "She's with my husband at home." "Call yöur husband right now, and tell him to get yöur family out of the house." " And then call the police." " He won't listen to me." "But why?" "Then tell him the little girl in the picture is not really a little girl." " She's a grown woman." " What?" "What are yöu talking about?" "The picture I sent yöu is of our adopted daughter, and she's 9 years old." "No, she's not." "She has a rare hormone disorder." "It's called hypopituitarism." "It causes proportional dwarfism." "She only looks like a child." "According to our records, Leena Klammer was born in 1976." "She's 33 years old." "This can't be." "This is a mistake." "I hope so, for yöur sake." "Does she have the scars?" "What?" "I don't know." "What scars?" "Leena was one of our most violent patients." "When she was here, she was kept in a straitjacket to stop her from hurting our staff." "She was constantly fighting to get out." "It cut into her skin and left her with scars around her wrists and neck." "There is no way yöu could not have seen them." "Why was she at yöur hospital?" "She's dangerously ill, violent." "She killed seven people that we know of." "Oh, my God." "How could she fool us?" "She has been passing herself off as a little girl for most of her life." "She tricked a family here in Estonia into adopting her." "When she couldn't seduce the father, she killed him and his whole family." " Then she burned the house down." " Yes." "How did yöu know?" "She disappeared a year ago and we lost track of her." "If it's really Leena, yöu don't have much time." "Esther?" "Come on, Johnny." "Come on." "Pick up the fucking phone." "Shit." "Come on." "Oh, God!" "Come on." "Come on." "911." "What is yöur emergency?" "I need the police." "We have an intruder in our home." "Come on." "This is John." " John?" "yöu've reached my cell, but I can't pick up." "Oh, fuck it." "John?" "John?" "John?" "No, God!" "No, God!" "Max." "What the fuck?" "Esther!" "Don't yöu hurt her!" "Leave her alone!" "I'm here!" "Esther!" "I know." "Go back." "It's too dangerous." "Go back." "Please." "Don't let me die, Mommy." "I'm not yöur fucking Mommy!" "Baby, it's okay."
