Transcript
00:00:00You're the owner, Chief Thorpe.
00:00:20I'm really sorry for what you're going through.
00:00:22Thank you.
00:00:24Any idea how it started?
00:00:27Why don't you ask her?
00:00:31Your child?
00:00:33Foster child.
00:00:35Think she might have started it accidentally.
00:00:37It was no accident.
00:00:39That girl hates us.
00:00:42She's a little girl.
00:00:45That's what she looks like.
00:00:49I don't know what she is.
00:00:57Morning.
00:01:11Good morning.
00:01:13Hey, put a sweater on. I'll be warm running.
00:01:15Well, are you running now?
00:01:17Fine.
00:01:18Oh, and keep practice short because the air quality is just below orange,
00:01:22and I don't want you ingesting all those toxins.
00:01:25Mm-hmm.
00:01:26Yes, Mom, I'll be the healthiest girl on the team, probably in school.
00:01:30Maybe I'll never die.
00:01:32Well, if that happened, I wouldn't hate it.
00:01:36What are you doing today?
00:01:38I have an open house at noon.
00:01:40The Palmer House over on Sherman.
00:01:44What do you have going on?
00:01:46I'm working with Oliver in the den.
00:01:48We've got to get our drawings in front of the city council pretty quick.
00:01:51Three other architectural firms have already submitted bids.
00:01:54Thank you.
00:01:57Hi, guys.
00:01:58Hey.
00:01:59Hey, you ready?
00:02:00Yeah.
00:02:01Oh, honey, and just for my calendar, what time is your track meet on Saturday?
00:02:04Okay, Mom, you don't need to come to every meet.
00:02:06I...
00:02:07It's at 2 p.m., Ms. Long.
00:02:09Thank you, Derek.
00:02:12I'm sorry.
00:02:13Am I embarrassing you in front of your friends at your track meets?
00:02:17No, not at all.
00:02:18It's wonderful the way you insist on witnessing every moment of my life.
00:02:22Good.
00:02:23Because I love it.
00:02:24Bye.
00:02:25Bye.
00:02:28It's scary how well she's turning out.
00:02:31Where's that confidence come from?
00:02:33I thought everybody under 18 was being destroyed by the Internet.
00:02:41Oh, my God.
00:02:43What?
00:02:46It's the adoption agency.
00:02:51Hello?
00:02:53Yes, this is Jessica Long.
00:02:57Yes, we are more than ready to...
00:03:07Yes.
00:03:10No, I just, um...
00:03:13Sorry, we...
00:03:16This is the fourth adoption we've had fall through in three years, so I'm...
00:03:22No, I don't think it's your fault.
00:03:23My...
00:03:26Oh.
00:03:28I...
00:03:31It may not be what you had in mind, but there's another possibility.
00:03:37Everyone wants a baby, and they're thin on the ground these days.
00:03:40Would you be open to an eight-year-old girl with special needs?
00:03:45I mean, I know we've only talked about babies, but an older girl needs love, too.
00:03:54Would we be able to meet her first?
00:03:56Of course.
00:03:57How about tomorrow?
00:04:00Talk it over.
00:04:01And something to bear in mind.
00:04:04You're both in your 40s.
00:04:06Most birth mothers prefer to place their babies with younger parents, and it's only gonna get worse.
00:04:12A door you're waiting for may not open.
00:04:17Give us a few minutes. We'll call back.
00:04:20All right.
00:04:21All right. Thank you.
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:30I...
00:04:33Okay.
00:04:35We're not gonna get a baby.
00:04:39We're not gonna get a baby.
00:04:41And I think that maybe this girl could be what we've been waiting for.
00:04:47But it's two leaps, you know. It's an older child and one with special needs.
00:04:51I know.
00:04:52I just...
00:04:55It's a risk.
00:04:57Anytime you adopt, and I just...
00:04:59You can't...
00:05:00You can't solve every unknown before you commit.
00:05:04You just can't.
00:05:10Okay.
00:05:13I love you. I love you.
00:05:14Okay?
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:20Okay.
00:05:21Hey, Oliver.
00:05:23Am I the kind of person that needs to figure out every angle before I commit to anything?
00:05:29Yeah, big time.
00:05:31Really?
00:05:33Are you kidding?
00:05:35You're Mr. Spock.
00:05:37It's like, Oliver, the odds of us selling this project are 23.6 to 1.
00:05:43Look, some people run hot, some people not.
00:05:46That's why I do all the pitches.
00:05:47You analyze while I jump up and down.
00:05:51So what's this all about?
00:05:53Well, you know we've been trying to adopt a baby.
00:05:55Today the agency suggested an eight-year-old child with special needs.
00:06:01What does Jess think?
00:06:02You know, Jess, she's been dreaming about a child in her arms.
00:06:05Yeah, well...
00:06:06Now maybe the dream comes true.
00:06:07Well, what do you think?
00:06:09Well, I'm right there with her wanting another child.
00:06:11Ah, but she's ready to dive into the deep end while you're checking the pool for issues.
00:06:15You make me sound incredibly boring.
00:06:16No, no, no, no. It's just that you look at things from another angle.
00:06:20It's like if Jess' first thought is a little girl in her arms.
00:06:23What's your first thought?
00:06:27That we need to start making the house accessible for her.
00:06:30And that's why you guys make the perfect partners for this adventure.
00:06:35Thank you so much for doing this.
00:06:37Of course.
00:06:39Oh, yes.
00:06:40Oh, Liam, I know.
00:06:41I know, I know.
00:06:42Come on.
00:06:43If you don't want me to sneak them, don't make them look so tempting.
00:06:48How do you do it, Jess?
00:06:50Well, everything from scratch.
00:06:52No processed ingredients.
00:06:54Never trust anything from a package.
00:06:58How does Carl feel about adopting this girl?
00:07:00He's open to it, but, I mean, you know Carl.
00:07:04He's got to write a dissertation in his head first.
00:07:09Jess, why is this so important to you?
00:07:11You've done such a great job with Rhiannon, but in a few years she's going to be going off to college.
00:07:16And here you are, signing up for re-enlistment.
00:07:18What about freedom? Travel? Exploring new things?
00:07:22So what? I should just take a cruise? Learn French?
00:07:26I mean, nothing is more important to me than being a mother to a child who needs me.
00:07:31And protecting them in a world that can be so dangerous in so many ways.
00:07:36But they need to figure it out.
00:07:39I mean, I can't think of anything that's more important than that.
00:07:42Okay, then. I'm here for you.
00:07:44Even if it's not what I would do.
00:07:47I mean, look at this place.
00:07:49The Palmers raised three kids here.
00:07:52And yet, they're selling it because they can't stand how empty it is.
00:07:58Jess, I love how you make up things in your head.
00:08:00They're selling this place so they can move to Carolina Beach.
00:08:03Okay, no. That is what they tell everybody.
00:08:07But I know the real agenda.
00:08:12No. No.
00:08:14Spoken like a mom.
00:08:20Hey, that's mine.
00:08:25Did you get this from Ms. Allenshine's purse?
00:08:30I thought you wanted a baby.
00:08:32Does the idea bother you?
00:08:34Why would it bother me?
00:08:35No.
00:08:36You take up a lot of our attention.
00:08:38Okay, great. I need less attention than you're giving me.
00:08:41Okay, but it doesn't bother me. Seriously.
00:08:46You know, I've always wanted brothers and sisters,
00:08:49and I kind of like the idea of having a sister I can get to know before I go away to college.
00:08:53College.
00:08:55Well, don't expect all your fantasies to come true.
00:08:57Because only children envy kids with siblings.
00:09:00And kids with siblings are the ones who are going to get to know each other.
00:09:03So, I don't know.
00:09:05Well, don't expect all your fantasies to come true.
00:09:07Because only children envy kids with siblings.
00:09:10And kids with siblings think they're in hell.
00:09:12Oh, God.
00:09:13Okay, Carl.
00:09:14The grass is always greener.
00:09:16Well, sure, but we don't need to go all the way to hell to make that point.
00:09:20Please, feel free to look forward to having a sister.
00:09:23I think it's a good idea.
00:09:25I mean, I thought you guys were going to have me changing diapers, so...
00:09:29Well, here we are complicating everything, and teen reactions are so simple.
00:09:33How will this affect me?
00:09:35I'm not complaining.
00:09:42Is it that stressful?
00:09:43I just, I can't take another no.
00:09:45I can't.
00:09:48Carl.
00:09:49Jessica.
00:09:50Hi, Maya.
00:09:51Nice to see you again.
00:09:52It's so good to see you again.
00:09:54I'm sure you want to hear more about Gabby before you meet her.
00:09:57Oh, Gabby.
00:09:58Gabrielle Sadler.
00:10:01Born in a small village in Portugal to an American mother, Jeanette Sadler.
00:10:09When Gabby was less than a year old, her mother decided to marry a local man who didn't want children.
00:10:14The marriage was conditional on that.
00:10:17Gabby's mother chose that man over her.
00:10:21She was in an orphanage until she was five, when Gabby's grandmother discovered her existence and sent for her.
00:10:29The timing was good, as her village was still picking up from an earthquake, and the orphanage was in bad shape.
00:10:35Lord, she's had non-stop bad luck.
00:10:39I mean, at least she was with family, you know, a grandmother who wanted her.
00:10:44Well, soon after Gabby arrived, the grandmother started having dementia symptoms.
00:10:52She's in a memory care unit, and Gabby's been in foster homes ever since.
00:10:58Okay.
00:11:10What's that?
00:11:11It's a drawing I made for my new mother and father.
00:11:17That's so nice, Gabby. But this family already has a daughter, so there would be four people.
00:11:24How old is she?
00:11:26Fifteen.
00:11:29Two years of fostering, and she just keeps getting passed from one to another.
00:11:37I hope if this works out, it'll be her forever home.
00:11:40Yeah.
00:11:44Hi, Gabby.
00:11:45Hi.
00:11:47We have been looking forward to meeting you.
00:11:52Do you know who we are?
00:11:53Are you the maybe people?
00:11:55Are you the maybe people?
00:11:57Maybe people?
00:11:58Whenever I ask if you might be my new mother and father, they say maybe.
00:12:03Wow.
00:12:07Would you like that, Gabby?
00:12:09I want a real family, not like the fosters.
00:12:16Would you love me?
00:12:18No.
00:12:23What is that?
00:12:26Okay.
00:12:40Um, would you like to be a part-
00:12:45Would you like to be part of our family?
00:12:48Okay.
00:12:49Because I would really love that.
00:12:56We can start making the arrangements.
00:13:00Please do.
00:13:05Okay, well, we had to sign a ton of paperwork, but here she is, a very special person.
00:13:11Hi, Gabby.
00:13:13I'm your new sister, Rhiannon.
00:13:14If you want, you can call me, right?
00:13:16Hello.
00:13:18Did you eat?
00:13:19Oh, yeah, I had the leftover salmon.
00:13:20Okay.
00:13:21Do you want to see your room?
00:13:22Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
00:13:24You get to take some of the heat.
00:13:26What heat?
00:13:28Well, the thing is, when you're my age, you don't need your mom checking in on you all the time.
00:13:33Now she's got you to occupy her, so this is a dawn of freedom for me.
00:13:38What are you telling her, Rhiannon?
00:13:40Um, the same thing I'm always telling you.
00:13:44See, that's what I was afraid of.
00:13:47Okay, let's go.
00:13:53Here you go.
00:14:01It's nice.
00:14:08Um.
00:14:13Hello, Princess Gabby.
00:14:15Welcome, your royal subjects.
00:14:18Hi, Mr. Lion.
00:14:26I'm tired. Can I go to bed now?
00:14:29Yeah, oh, of course.
00:14:31Of course, of course, of course.
00:14:33Oh, here are your things.
00:14:35Okay.
00:14:40Okay, well, I'll give you some time.
00:14:45Okay.
00:14:51Good night.
00:14:52Good night, honey.
00:14:53Good night.
00:14:56Is anything wrong?
00:14:58No.
00:15:00I don't know.
00:15:03I just...
00:15:08I knew we weren't getting a baby, and I'm okay with that, I am.
00:15:11I just...
00:15:13I don't know, it feels so different than I thought it would.
00:15:18I don't know.
00:15:20Well, I mean, Jess, you've had that room ready for a baby for three years now.
00:15:24I know.
00:15:26She's an eight-year-old girl with her own personality.
00:15:29I know.
00:15:31That's all it is, right?
00:15:33Yeah, I mean, what else could it be?
00:15:35I'm sure it's me.
00:15:37I think I've had a long day.
00:15:39I think I've had a long day and could use some rest.
00:15:47All right, let's go to bed.
00:15:57Hey.
00:15:59Come on in.
00:16:06Are you famous?
00:16:07Are you famous?
00:16:09No, not yet.
00:16:12Will they want me to do that?
00:16:14Running? Sports?
00:16:17No, you can do whatever you want.
00:16:20Here, take a seat.
00:16:26Are there any games you like?
00:16:28Um, Grandma and I used to play a card game.
00:16:31Yeah?
00:16:32It's only three cards, it's not hard.
00:16:36But it got hard for her.
00:16:39What about games you played with other kids?
00:16:42Other kids don't play with me.
00:16:47Here.
00:16:52Okay, so this is llamas in the lake.
00:16:57And the llamas all try to swim to that island, see?
00:17:01Want to try?
00:17:06You'll be going to school in a few days.
00:17:10And you'll make friends then.
00:17:12No, I won't.
00:17:21Oh, wow.
00:17:23Oh my gosh, you didn't have to do that?
00:17:26I saw how tired you looked last night.
00:17:28Oh, sweetie.
00:17:30Thank you.
00:17:32Coffee, coffee, coffee.
00:17:35Good morning.
00:17:41What?
00:17:43What's that?
00:17:45Oh, my bracelet?
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:48This is a medical alert bracelet.
00:17:54It's 14 karat gold.
00:17:57What does it say?
00:17:59It says latex allergy.
00:18:02Those are odd words.
00:18:03Hmm?
00:18:05An allergy is when something makes you sick.
00:18:09And the thing that makes me sick is latex.
00:18:12Latex is a specific kind of rubber.
00:18:15That's very romantic, Gabby.
00:18:17It is, actually.
00:18:19Dad got it from him when they got engaged.
00:18:21He said it was so he'd never lose her.
00:18:23Never mind, sweetie.
00:18:25The more important thing is, what would you like for breakfast?
00:18:27Uh, do you have caviar?
00:18:31My mother used to give me that.
00:18:34Oh, you're a foster mother.
00:18:36She used to give you caviar?
00:18:38She's not my mother.
00:18:40My real mother is a famous singer.
00:18:42She'll come back for me someday, and I'll be a singer, too.
00:18:47Well, that's nice.
00:18:49Um, we are out of caviar at the moment,
00:18:53but we do have cereal,
00:18:55and then after breakfast, I can help you get ready and wash up.
00:19:00I don't need help getting washed.
00:19:01There's a stool by the sink.
00:19:03Yes, but I think that we should do more than a sink wash today.
00:19:10I know that you are very capable,
00:19:13but you just need help getting ready.
00:19:15I don't need help!
00:19:16Hello?
00:19:35Gabby?
00:19:37Yeah?
00:19:44I'm ready.
00:19:46I wish that you wouldn't have gotten dressed.
00:19:50I came upstairs to help you take a bath.
00:19:52Oh, I washed. I don't need a bath.
00:19:54Okay, honey, we talked about this in the kitchen.
00:19:57Okay, we have rules in this house,
00:20:00and we don't just ignore each other,
00:20:04and at some point, you're going to have to take a bath.
00:20:06I said no!
00:20:12Okay, fine.
00:20:17No bath today.
00:20:27Are you sure you want to do this?
00:20:29Because it could be really boring.
00:20:31I want to be with you.
00:20:33All right, you can stay until the open house starts then.
00:20:35But couldn't we do something else together?
00:20:38Well, I'd love to, but I have to work.
00:20:41We could go to the movies.
00:20:43I'm sorry, Gabby, work comes first, okay?
00:20:45Hi!
00:20:47Elaine and Richard, this is Gabby.
00:20:50Well, hello, young lady.
00:20:52Hi.
00:20:54And where do you come from?
00:20:56Monaco. It's a city and a country.
00:20:58Gabby is going to help me make my famous open house cookies today.
00:21:02Yes, we heard they were a hit at the last showing.
00:21:05Oh, thank you.
00:21:07It's actually the aroma that's more important than the cookies,
00:21:09which is why I'm going to bake them in your oven.
00:21:11Setting the mood.
00:21:12Exactly.
00:21:14Well, we'll leave you to it then.
00:21:16Nice to meet you, Gabby.
00:21:18We're going to have fun.
00:21:20Bye.
00:21:22Okay, we're going to do dry ingredients first.
00:21:27So, honey, why did you say Monaco to Mr. Palmer?
00:21:34He asked where I came from.
00:21:36But you're not from Monaco.
00:21:37So, why would you tell a fib like that?
00:21:41And this morning you said your mother was a famous singer?
00:21:48Those are nice dreams.
00:21:51I mean, Monaco's a very fancy place.
00:21:54There's a prince and a princess.
00:21:56Maybe you heard about that in a movie?
00:22:02Okay, but this is the thing.
00:22:03No matter how nice dreams are,
00:22:06we can't just say things to people that aren't true.
00:22:11How do you know?
00:22:14How do I know what?
00:22:16What's true?
00:22:24Ann.
00:22:26Ann.
00:22:33Elaine left her phone here.
00:22:35Oh, isn't it silly that I had to come back?
00:22:38Years ago I wouldn't even care,
00:22:40but now I feel like they have to amputate that thing from my hand.
00:22:45Little Gabby's quite the eccentric, isn't she?
00:22:48Yeah.
00:22:50Monaco. Carl mentioned Portugal to me.
00:22:52Oh.
00:22:53He knows that I worked out of Lisbon for a couple of years.
00:22:56He wondered if I knew anything about her village.
00:22:59I wouldn't have heard of her place except for the earthquake a few years ago.
00:23:03Terrible. Hospitals were full.
00:23:06A lot of people never found, you know?
00:23:09It's a lot for a little girl to take on.
00:23:12It's not in any of the usual places.
00:23:14Could one of you call my number?
00:23:16I don't...
00:23:21Kitchen!
00:23:24Come on.
00:23:37I'm helping.
00:23:39Help? It felt more like sabotage.
00:23:42What? You mean like deliberate?
00:23:44Well, I refused to take her to a movie,
00:23:46and then I told her that I didn't believe her.
00:23:49And it seemed like this was payback.
00:23:51And then we had a fight this morning.
00:23:53I offered to help her take a bath,
00:23:55and she insisted on just washing up at the sink,
00:23:58and for a minute I thought she was going to attack me.
00:24:01I mean...
00:24:03Maybe she was abused.
00:24:05And that's why she won't take her clothes off in front of anyone?
00:24:07That's a terrible thought.
00:24:09Either way, she's obviously not comfortable with it.
00:24:12I know.
00:24:14And she's only just met you both.
00:24:16If it were me, I'd give her time.
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:20I just, I...
00:24:22I thought that I would understand her better.
00:24:26We were both born overseas,
00:24:28you know, she came from Portugal,
00:24:30I came from Germany,
00:24:32and we both had to adjust as little kids.
00:24:35But I just...
00:24:37I don't get her.
00:24:40There's a probationary period, isn't there?
00:24:42Yes, but Carla and I agree on this.
00:24:44You can't bring a child into your home
00:24:46and then dump her where you got her.
00:24:48You know, like she's the wrong size shoe or something.
00:24:50At least she'll be starting school in a couple of days.
00:24:52It'll be out of your hair.
00:24:54Thank God.
00:24:56I did do a check on the second grade teacher.
00:24:58Typical Jess.
00:25:00I know I have to.
00:25:02And she's got a great reputation.
00:25:04She's a few years from retirement
00:25:06and she's supposed to be just really good with the kids.
00:25:08So...
00:25:10I could.
00:25:12You do you.
00:25:14And whatever happens, remember,
00:25:16we'll always have Chardonnay.
00:25:18We need it.
00:25:20I know.
00:25:29I know you're awake.
00:25:31It wasn't a secret.
00:25:34Are we in way over our heads?
00:25:36I don't know.
00:25:38Should we maybe...
00:25:40get some help?
00:25:42Like take her to some kind of counselor?
00:25:44I don't know.
00:25:46I mean, it's early.
00:25:48She's still adjusting.
00:25:50It's her life, at least.
00:25:52We don't have to take it.
00:25:54I know. I'm just...
00:25:56I'm worried that
00:25:58sending her to a therapist right now,
00:26:00that she'll see that
00:26:02as a way of saying
00:26:04something's wrong with her.
00:26:07We were so lucky with Rhiannon.
00:26:10Oh, come on.
00:26:12She had her moments.
00:26:14Yeah, yeah, she did.
00:26:16You remember
00:26:18the time she
00:26:20got on the bus
00:26:21just to see what would happen?
00:26:23Oh, my God, I aged like five years that day.
00:26:25Oh, at least.
00:26:28Okay, then let's
00:26:30let's rise to this occasion.
00:26:32You know?
00:26:33Yeah.
00:26:34Maybe a few years from now,
00:26:35Gabby's in college.
00:26:37We'll look back on today
00:26:38and find it funny.
00:26:42No, we won't.
00:26:44Probably not.
00:26:46Oh, you're cute when you're wrong.
00:26:50I know.
00:27:17Rhiannon yelled at me.
00:27:18Yeah, because she was shocked.
00:27:20She wasn't expecting to find you there.
00:27:23When someone's surprised like that,
00:27:24it's upsetting.
00:27:26Yeah.
00:27:27So, it's okay she yelled at me?
00:27:29No, no.
00:27:31No, but
00:27:33she has
00:27:35a right to her privacy.
00:27:37Okay? Like, that room is hers,
00:27:39just like
00:27:40this one is yours.
00:27:42Hers is better than mine.
00:27:44It's different.
00:27:45What?
00:27:48I saw her runner pictures.
00:27:51You looked proud of her.
00:27:53Yeah, we are.
00:27:55I can't run.
00:27:56I'm not like her.
00:27:59Well, you know, you'll, um
00:28:02you'll find your own things.
00:28:04You know?
00:28:05Special things that mean something to you.
00:28:07Yeah.
00:28:08We don't love Rhiannon because she runs.
00:28:10We love Rhiannon because
00:28:12she's Rhiannon.
00:28:13Hey.
00:28:15Do you like your room?
00:28:18Because you have these toys and
00:28:21you don't play with them.
00:28:29Of course I like them.
00:28:33So, Gabby's schooling has been
00:28:36pretty patchy
00:28:38at best.
00:28:40She's moved around a lot, right, Gabby?
00:28:43Yeah.
00:28:45And some of her foster's
00:28:47homeschooled
00:28:49when they bothered.
00:28:51Well, don't you worry, Gabby.
00:28:53We'll make sure you are caught up
00:28:55to the rest of the second grade
00:28:57in no time.
00:28:59Great. Okay.
00:29:01Have fun today.
00:29:04Today, we are going to add
00:29:06a one-digit number
00:29:08to a two-digit number.
00:29:10Let's say Jan has
00:29:11two Pokemon stickers
00:29:13and she gets two more.
00:29:18You're funny looking.
00:29:20You're a bitch.
00:29:30Hey.
00:29:32Hey there, just in time.
00:29:34How was practice?
00:29:35Still working on my form.
00:29:37That sounds great.
00:29:39I'm starving.
00:29:42Come on.
00:29:44She's just watching like a spy, Mom.
00:29:46She's creepy.
00:29:48Okay.
00:29:49Listen, I know you were upset
00:29:51that she was in your room,
00:29:53but think about this.
00:29:55You have a place here, okay?
00:29:57She's new,
00:29:59and then she sees these photos
00:30:01of you doing things she'll never be able to do,
00:30:03and so I think to her,
00:30:05it must look like you have the world.
00:30:07Maybe she was just
00:30:09lonely
00:30:11and didn't know what to do.
00:30:14Yeah, I guess it's possible.
00:30:16Yes.
00:30:18All right, take these over.
00:30:20You two can get started.
00:30:22Here you go.
00:30:24Thank you.
00:30:29How's school going?
00:30:32Hey, Ria, what's that bird?
00:30:34Aureole.
00:30:36You know all the birds by name
00:30:38because your grandma's a bird watcher.
00:30:39It's a bird that live out in the country.
00:30:41We'll take you to visit one day.
00:30:43You will?
00:30:45Yeah, they're great.
00:30:47I have a picture of Gran and Granddad
00:30:49framed on my dresser.
00:30:51I'll show it to you.
00:30:53One second.
00:30:55Will they be my grandparents, too?
00:30:57Yes.
00:30:59And when we visit,
00:31:01we'll show you where the bear
00:31:03looked at Gran through the window.
00:31:05A bear?
00:31:07A bear who stole the bird feeder.
00:31:09Even my trophies.
00:31:11She even took my trophies.
00:31:39Why is she here?
00:31:41Why is she here?
00:31:49Why is she here?
00:31:51Why is she here?
00:32:02Here's what you're going to do.
00:32:04You're going to return
00:32:06everything you took to Rhiannon.
00:32:07Apologize to her.
00:32:09No, I shouldn't have to.
00:32:11She has enough things.
00:32:15Okay, being part
00:32:17of a forever family
00:32:19doesn't mean things are just handed to you.
00:32:21Okay?
00:32:23It's about participating.
00:32:25It's about being respectful
00:32:27to one another.
00:32:29And you can start
00:32:31by taking off that sweater
00:32:33and giving it back to her.
00:32:35That's Rhiannon's sweater.
00:32:37Yeah, it's cropped.
00:32:39I like this sweater.
00:32:41Why can't I have it?
00:32:43Because it doesn't belong to you.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:47I'll knit you another sweater.
00:32:49Whatever color you want.
00:32:51I like this.
00:32:53Knit one for Rhiannon.
00:32:55Okay, this is ridiculous.
00:32:57Take off that sweater.
00:32:59Okay, you know what?
00:33:01You need to go
00:33:03and you need to stay in your room
00:33:05and think about what you did.
00:33:07Okay?
00:33:21Boy, that felt like a draw.
00:33:23Oh, my God.
00:33:37Oh.
00:33:56You gonna be all right?
00:33:58Yeah.
00:34:00It's just a sprain.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:04I feel...
00:34:05I feel like the thing I told you at the hospital,
00:34:07you think I'm paranoid.
00:34:10I just don't think
00:34:12that toy was left there deliberately.
00:34:14I mean, kids leave things around all the time.
00:34:16So do a lot of adults.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:20You know, we were wondering
00:34:22if we can handle this girl.
00:34:24What if she's thinking the same thing about us?
00:34:26Deciding if she doesn't like us.
00:34:28If she doesn't like me.
00:34:30Because I go up and down those stairs
00:34:32all the time with that laundry basket.
00:34:33She is a troubled kid.
00:34:35She's not a master criminal.
00:34:39So what are you doing today?
00:34:41Well, I'm supposed to do
00:34:43notes on the houses that I've listed,
00:34:45but I don't know how I'm gonna do that.
00:34:47I can help.
00:34:50I...
00:34:52Thank you, Gabby,
00:34:54but you have to go to school today.
00:34:56Do I have to?
00:34:58Yes.
00:35:00The eternal question.
00:35:01All right, maybe I can help
00:35:03when I get back tonight, okay?
00:35:05Thank you. Have a good day.
00:35:07You too.
00:35:10Okay.
00:35:12Get ready for school.
00:35:14I'll be right back.
00:35:23Hey, Lanny.
00:35:25Barely started,
00:35:27and I'm already having a bad day.
00:35:29I say wine bar tonight.
00:35:31Believe me, but did I tell you
00:35:33I sprained my wrist?
00:35:35So you can lift the glass
00:35:37with your other hand.
00:35:39Right.
00:35:41I don't know.
00:35:43I...
00:35:45What?
00:35:50Okay, this is weird,
00:35:52but I think Gabby was
00:35:54using my computer.
00:35:56Why would an eight-year-old girl
00:35:58be looking up adoption regulations?
00:35:59The dog is sad.
00:36:01When Joni and Sam come home,
00:36:03Buddy plays with them.
00:36:06Question one.
00:36:08Why is Buddy sad?
00:36:10Write your answers.
00:36:12Gabby, you're not writing.
00:36:15May I go to the bathroom,
00:36:17Ms. Butterfield?
00:36:19Yes, you may.
00:36:29Okay.
00:37:00♪
00:37:02♪
00:37:28Honey,
00:37:29Gabby's missing from school.
00:37:31What?
00:37:33How can she be missing?
00:37:35She's supposed to be in class.
00:37:37I know, I know.
00:37:39She asked to use the bathroom.
00:37:41Nobody's seen her since.
00:37:43They're searching the school for her.
00:37:45Let's go.
00:37:47Sorry.
00:37:49We've been over every room once,
00:37:51and so now we're going back
00:37:53and checking every inch,
00:37:55every cupboard, every...
00:37:57Um...
00:37:59Gabby.
00:38:03Gabby.
00:38:06I'm so worried about you.
00:38:09I'm sorry.
00:38:13Did you take these things
00:38:15from the teacher's lounge?
00:38:17Mrs. Long?
00:38:19Mr. Long?
00:38:21I think we need to talk.
00:38:23Yeah.
00:38:25Are you okay?
00:38:27I'll be back.
00:38:29Let's go.
00:38:32The teacher said she's extremely bright
00:38:35and must have had some advanced homeschooling.
00:38:37Oh.
00:38:39So they're keeping her out for a little while
00:38:41while they test her and figure out
00:38:43where to regrade her.
00:38:45You mean you might have a child genius?
00:38:47I don't know what we have.
00:38:49I mean, being a child genius
00:38:51wouldn't explain her having her period.
00:38:53If she has it.
00:38:55Did she confront her about that?
00:38:57Yeah.
00:38:59She claimed that she didn't know
00:39:01what they were.
00:39:03I don't buy it.
00:39:05Do you hear girls are getting their period
00:39:07younger these days?
00:39:09Yes, fine, sure.
00:39:11But then why lie about it?
00:39:13And you know, she just...
00:39:15She doesn't seem like an eight-year-old.
00:39:18She doesn't play with little girl toys.
00:39:20I thought maybe the braces
00:39:22were an indication that she was older,
00:39:24but apparently kids as young as seven can have them.
00:39:26But, you know, adults can too,
00:39:27who knows?
00:39:29Jess, why would she lie about being a child?
00:39:31Where's the reward?
00:39:33Well, Carl and I are supporting her
00:39:35so she doesn't have to work for a living.
00:39:37She could probably squeeze a college education out of us
00:39:39and, you know, who knows what else?
00:39:41How old do you think she is?
00:39:43I don't know.
00:39:45But you said work for a living,
00:39:47so you must...
00:39:49I know, I just...
00:39:51I have wondered
00:39:53if she's an adult.
00:39:55I know that sounds incredible.
00:39:57Carl thinks that
00:40:00she was curious about the tampons
00:40:03and that she's extremely bright for her age.
00:40:06That part he likes.
00:40:08So I'm pretty much on my own in this.
00:40:10And I don't even know
00:40:12what to make of her looking up adoption regulations
00:40:14on my laptop.
00:40:16Maybe she's worried.
00:40:18Wants to see how easy it would be
00:40:20for you to reverse the adoption.
00:40:22Yeah, or she's wondering what would happen to her
00:40:24if something happened to us.
00:40:25What would happen to you?
00:40:27I don't know.
00:40:34Hey, Derek.
00:40:36Hey.
00:40:38Rhi's not ready yet.
00:40:40So where are you two going this afternoon?
00:40:42Well, I'm trying to get Rhi to go to the Science Center with me,
00:40:44but she always says the weather's too nice to be indoors.
00:40:47Well, your odds aren't good today either.
00:40:49Another beautiful Saturday.
00:40:51Feel free to hang out. I'm going back to work.
00:40:55Okay.
00:41:26Hi.
00:41:28You must be Derek.
00:41:30I'm Gabby, the new sister.
00:41:32Hello.
00:41:34Want a soda?
00:41:36Uh, I'm okay, thanks.
00:41:38Okay.
00:41:40So, are you going anywhere interesting today?
00:41:44I'm, uh, not sure.
00:41:46You should go to the Science Center.
00:41:48Really?
00:41:50Yeah.
00:41:52They have an exhibit on the space shuttle.
00:41:53Are you interested in science?
00:41:55I love it.
00:41:57I love learning things.
00:42:05Oh, no.
00:42:07I lost my earring.
00:42:09Find it.
00:42:20Oh, I found it.
00:42:21I hate to lose one of these things.
00:42:23See how nice they are?
00:42:30Hey, Rhi.
00:42:33We should, we should get going.
00:42:40When I get home, I want those earrings back in my box.
00:42:46Bye.
00:42:48Bye.
00:42:49Bye.
00:42:51I know how it sounds, but I am not jealous.
00:42:53I'm really not.
00:42:55She's a liar and a thief.
00:42:57And my parents are all just, give her a chance.
00:42:59She needs to learn what a family is like.
00:43:01Well, why do we have to teach her?
00:43:05Hey.
00:43:07You're not saying much.
00:43:09Isn't there something wrong about this whole thing?
00:43:11What do you think?
00:43:13Well, now that you mention it, yeah.
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:18He misunderstood.
00:43:20He's not stupid, Dad.
00:43:22I'm not saying that.
00:43:24I'm just saying, when you're a boy of 15, you can sort of dwell on the subject of sex a little more than a girl of 15 might realize.
00:43:33You think he's seeing something that's not there?
00:43:35I think an eight-year-old girl is not out to steal anybody's boyfriend.
00:43:38Who says that she's eight?
00:43:42We both saw her birth certificate.
00:43:43Not just the American version, the original Portuguese one.
00:43:46Okay, okay, so she's a little girl who is educated beyond her years, is stealing tampons, and has somehow convinced a 15-year-old boy that she's flirting with him.
00:44:03I'm...
00:44:05We need to talk to her.
00:44:07No, I'm eight years old. I'm eight. Why do you want me to lie to you?
00:44:10Okay, Gabby, honey, listen. However old you are, we're not gonna punish you.
00:44:15I'm eight. I'm eight!
00:44:17Okay, Gabby, calm down.
00:44:19It's Rhiannon, isn't it? Talking about me behind my back. She doesn't want me here, and she doesn't want to share anything.
00:44:24I mean, you all go on about family, but you don't mean it.
00:44:27Okay, Gabby, honey, just calm down. Nobody's...
00:44:29You're not what I wanted! I wish I'd never come here!
00:44:31I wish I'd never come here!
00:44:36Okay. Well, so much for the talking-to-her method.
00:44:42Maybe we need somebody who's better at talking.
00:44:44Well...
00:44:46I know you're not sold on the idea, but I think it's time for a child therapist.
00:44:50Do you really think a child therapist is what we need here?
00:44:53You're just gonna tell them everything I say?
00:44:56No. I'm not. This is between me and you.
00:45:01But I will talk to your parents later about what I think.
00:45:04Let's talk about your time in America.
00:45:07How did you like living with your grandma?
00:45:10She was okay.
00:45:12Until she got confused.
00:45:15And before you knew it, she was dead.
00:45:17She was okay.
00:45:19Until she got confused.
00:45:22And before that, in Portugal?
00:45:26Can you tell me about the earthquake?
00:45:29It was dark.
00:45:31And then the earth started to shake.
00:45:33Well, that must have been pretty scary.
00:45:35Yeah. It was.
00:45:37I yelled and woke the dorm.
00:45:39And helped the little kids get out.
00:45:41Well, you were pretty little yourself, weren't you?
00:45:45That was three years ago.
00:45:47You were what? Around five?
00:45:50Yeah.
00:45:53So you got out?
00:45:55No. I was inside.
00:45:57The ceiling came down on me.
00:46:00I couldn't move.
00:46:02I thought it would be okay. I thought someone would come.
00:46:04Well, they must have tried.
00:46:06No. No one tried.
00:46:08No one looked.
00:46:10They left me all by myself. In the dark.
00:46:13How long were you trapped?
00:46:15Three days.
00:46:17They found me by accident.
00:46:19Can you tell me about your new family?
00:46:22Do you like them?
00:46:24I don't like them for bringing me here.
00:46:28Is there anything you've done that you feel bad about?
00:46:33No. I do what I need to.
00:46:37Well, she's had more than her share of drama.
00:46:41I think she's at a crossroads.
00:46:44You've heard of Livia and Rose?
00:46:47Seeing life through rose-colored glasses?
00:46:49Yes.
00:46:51For Gabi, it's Livian Noir.
00:46:53She sees the world as dark and dangerous.
00:46:56So what does that mean for us?
00:46:58Well, clearly she's very bright for her age,
00:47:02but when someone's in a dark place, they may see enemies where there are none,
00:47:07and then they may take action to protect themselves.
00:47:10So what can we do?
00:47:12You can show her that she can rely on you.
00:47:14That the world isn't dark and dangerous.
00:47:17But the world is dark and dangerous.
00:47:20And yet children need to feel safe.
00:47:22Yeah. We'll try.
00:47:25It'll take time.
00:47:27What if we don't have time?
00:47:29Dr. Lee, we have another daughter at home,
00:47:34and Gabi at times seems jealous, even hostile towards her.
00:47:42Hostile might be going too far.
00:47:45Okay, Carl, this is important, and we can't be blind to it.
00:47:49Gabi just came into our lives a few weeks ago,
00:47:54and she is saying that she is eight years old.
00:47:58Her documents say that she's eight,
00:48:00but I have to say, given the way she behaves,
00:48:03I think that she may be lying.
00:48:07I think she may be lying about that and other things.
00:48:12I would have to assess her further.
00:48:16But if she were in fact pretending to be something she's not,
00:48:21manipulating you or taking advantage of your emotional weak spots,
00:48:27it changes things.
00:48:29We'd be talking less about trauma and more about psychopathy.
00:48:33Psychopathy?
00:48:36Does that mean that she's dangerous?
00:48:40Potentially.
00:49:03Drop them!
00:49:05What are you doing?
00:49:07I was only going to cut a flower.
00:49:09What are you, a gardener now?
00:49:11You wouldn't let me keep the posters.
00:49:13I wanted something pretty for my room.
00:49:15Drop it!
00:49:22Come on.
00:49:24No! No!
00:49:26Let me go!
00:49:29I...
00:49:31I just don't get it.
00:49:33Why do I have to stay with Lani?
00:49:35And why is Gabi locked in her room?
00:49:38She didn't really try to hurt me, did she?
00:49:42We just think it's better for you to spend a few days away.
00:49:45Why don't we settle some things?
00:49:47What things, though? What is going on?
00:49:49Listen, we don't feel that it's safe to have Gabi living here.
00:49:55Great.
00:49:57But we can't just drop a child off on a doorstep.
00:50:00So we have to make arrangements, we have to get a hold of the adoption agency,
00:50:03and I don't know how long that's going to take.
00:50:04And keeping you safe is the most important thing in our lives.
00:50:07Yes.
00:50:09So you go to Lani's.
00:50:11You understand?
00:50:13I still don't understand.
00:50:15Okay, she's here. Let's go.
00:50:22Hey.
00:50:24Thank you for doing this. I really appreciate it.
00:50:27You'll love it.
00:50:29My condo is next to a bakery.
00:50:31Chocolate pastries from heaven.
00:50:34You want some?
00:50:36Okay, bye.
00:50:44I know this feels like a terrible failure, but you know we can't have Gabi stay here.
00:50:51She was going to be a part of our family.
00:50:53I know. I know, sweetheart.
00:50:56You know how much I wanted this. It is killing me to think that it was just a dream.
00:51:04I know.
00:51:11Hello?
00:51:17Uh, yes?
00:51:19It's child welfare.
00:51:24Yeah, this is Jessica.
00:51:26Jessica?
00:51:33Gabi, I don't want you to worry about anything you say.
00:51:37You're not going to get in trouble for talking with us.
00:51:40And I don't want you to worry about anyone else.
00:51:48What is she telling them?
00:51:50I mean, she could say anything and they will have to take her seriously.
00:51:54Hell, even the truth looks bad. Locking her in her room?
00:51:58I know. I know.
00:52:03Brie? Everything okay?
00:52:06Yeah, all good here. Um, I'm just really confused about what's going on there.
00:52:13What do you mean? Nothing's going on here.
00:52:15Well, I'm on the family page. I'm online.
00:52:19And I thought the adoption agency said we weren't allowed to post pictures of Gabi to social media.
00:52:25We're not.
00:52:27Well, it's up there. And there's this text with it.
00:52:32And it doesn't sound like either of you guys.
00:52:35Our darling little girl. She's been through an ordeal, but that ends now because we've welcomed this lost angel into our home.
00:52:43We've welcomed this lost angel into our arms.
00:52:47Oh my God. And then more about how she's so sad and how amazing we are.
00:52:53This makes it look as if we're trying to pass ourselves off as saints.
00:52:57Brie, thanks honey.
00:52:59Oh my God.
00:53:01We're going to try and get to the bottom of this. You stay safe.
00:53:03Yeah, this is, it's fine, honey. We've got this. We love you, okay?
00:53:07Love you guys.
00:53:09I love you, honey.
00:53:11I don't know how many more levels of bad we can reach today.
00:53:14What do you think this looks like?
00:53:16Abusers that are using their adopted child as publicity. I mean...
00:53:20Delete it. Hopefully nobody's seen it yet.
00:53:22Well, it's got 89 smiley faces and 12 comments.
00:53:29She did this.
00:53:31She did this.
00:53:33What?
00:53:35I don't know how she did it, but she did it.
00:53:37But why?
00:53:38To hurt us, Carl.
00:53:41I mean, it's the same reason that she left that toy on the stairs where I walk up and down every single day.
00:53:48The same reason that she went after Rhiannon.
00:53:50Just how?
00:53:52Your laptop is logged off when you're not using it. How could she...
00:53:55I don't know. I don't know how.
00:53:57I also don't know how David Blaine catches a bullet in his teeth, but he does it.
00:54:09We finished. For the time being. But we'll be back.
00:54:14Why? We've explained.
00:54:16Yes, Mr. Long. Your explanations have been accounted for. Gabby backed you up.
00:54:21Okay, so why isn't this all over with then?
00:54:25When a child has bruises, we take it very seriously.
00:54:28And they're not always forthcoming about how these things happen.
00:54:33We'll be checking in again.
00:54:35Thank you.
00:54:38You're welcome.
00:55:08This is exactly what she wants. This is blackmail.
00:55:13She can testify to those people and destroy our lives any time we do something she doesn't like.
00:55:19And then we're done. Our reputations are gone.
00:55:25And I don't just mean your project, because who wants to buy a house from a child abuser?
00:55:30Who wants to be friends with a child abuser?
00:55:34What do we do?
00:55:36Do we move?
00:55:38Do we change our names? I mean, would that even work? Because the internet just follows you everywhere.
00:55:44If they thought we were harming Gabby, would they want to remove Rihanna from our custody too?
00:55:49Oh my God.
00:55:51You're right. It's not just my work. We could literally lose everything that matters.
00:55:53Okay, okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:55:56We can't be the first people that she has taken advantage of. We need to drill down into her past.
00:56:04Jess, do you know how this sounds?
00:56:05Gabby backed her story to child welfare.
00:56:08Yes. Yes. Because she is a manipulator.
00:56:15Oh my God. Somebody put that story online.
00:56:20Somebody who was in her house and had access to the adoption folder.
00:56:25What do you think? You think Oliver did it?
00:56:27You think Rihanna did it before she left the house?
00:56:30Hey, I get it.
00:56:32It's possible.
00:56:35Then let's please defend ourselves.
00:56:42She doesn't get many visitors. I'm sure she'd like to hear about her granddaughter.
00:56:49But the truth is, she may not remember she has one.
00:56:52Okay.
00:56:54She prefers to be called June.
00:56:56Thank you.
00:57:01June?
00:57:05Oh gosh, you're a knitter. I am too.
00:57:09Oh.
00:57:11Can I sit with you?
00:57:13Yes, yes.
00:57:20Fighting. We were always fighting.
00:57:25What were we just talking about?
00:57:28Your daughter, Jeanette.
00:57:31Who went to Portugal?
00:57:33Well, she can't go to Portugal. She's only seven.
00:57:40So, you and your daughter, you fought a lot.
00:57:46Is that why she didn't tell you that she had a baby?
00:57:52Your granddaughter, Gabby.
00:57:56The little girl.
00:57:59The little girl who'll always be little.
00:58:03Yes, yes, Gabby.
00:58:05Yeah.
00:58:07Don't you just love purple?
00:58:10Oh, I do. I do.
00:58:13So, Gabby?
00:58:17She didn't look anything like her.
00:58:21They said she looked just like her mother.
00:58:29I can't believe we're sitting outside of our own house so we won't be overheard.
00:58:33Okay, this is what I got from the adoption agency.
00:58:36It's an Acres house. Gabby's foster family.
00:58:40Okay, what are you telling me?
00:58:42So, the foster dad blamed Gabby, but the insurance blamed the foster dad.
00:58:46Seems he's a drinker, and they think he fell asleep with a lit cigarette.
00:58:49The fire started in his bedroom.
00:58:51Okay, if that were true, why would he blame Gabby?
00:58:54Why would he blame Gabby?
00:58:56Well, they think it was because he was afraid that he wouldn't get the insurance payout
00:59:00if the fire was due to his own negligence.
00:59:02And no matter what, she comes out smelling like a rose, right?
00:59:06We can't be sure that she was behind it. There's no real evidence.
00:59:10How many benefits of the doubt are you going to give this girl?
00:59:13We don't even know who she is.
00:59:16What does that even mean?
00:59:19The grandmother said she doesn't look anything like the mother.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:24So what proof do we have that this is Gabby?
00:59:27A birth certificate.
00:59:29Yes. Yes, a birth certificate with an unbelievable age.
00:59:34Aside from that, what else is there?
00:59:40There's not really anything else.
00:59:46There was a disaster in her town, right?
00:59:49People went missing. They were never found.
00:59:53The authorities, they were confused. They were overwhelmed.
00:59:59The grandmother sends for her.
01:00:03How do we know that it's really Gabby that shows up in the United States?
01:00:10I mean, all the grandma has to go on is, you know,
01:00:13whatever paperwork was sent to her from Portugal at that time.
01:00:16So who's to say the girl who shows up on the doorstep isn't some much older girl running a scam?
01:00:24Because that's a pretty nice life, right?
01:00:27A soft landing in the United States with some generous, sweet old lady.
01:00:32It's a theory.
01:00:34Yeah. It's a theory that would explain pretty much everything.
01:00:40I mean, this girl's been a psychopathic liar from the beginning.
01:00:43And she can do whatever she wants without fear of consequences
01:00:48because she has a piece of paper that says she's eight years old.
01:00:52I don't know.
01:00:54Basing all of this off of what a senile woman happens to say?
01:00:59Come on. Fine. Okay. What if I'm right?
01:01:03Then where's Gabby? The real Gabby?
01:01:06I mean, is she alive somewhere in Portugal or not alive?
01:01:11We can confront her. I'll back you up in the end.
01:01:16Good. I think we should do it today.
01:01:20Because I really want my life back.
01:01:30Hey. Hey.
01:01:32How's it going?
01:01:34Good.
01:01:36Oh. Hi.
01:01:39Hey. Where's Gabby?
01:01:41She's in her room. When she got hungry, I ordered us some pizza.
01:01:45But if you wanted something healthier, you should ask someone else to babysit.
01:01:50I haven't eaten all day. I have a monster headache.
01:01:55Yeah.
01:01:58I just want a few minutes before the fireworks start with Gabby again.
01:02:06Would you please get me some ibuprofen?
01:02:10I think I left a bottle in the den.
01:02:14We're neck and neck with stress these days, huh?
01:02:17I know, honey. I know.
01:02:27Are you guys all right? You seem a little jumpy.
01:02:32No. We're okay.
01:02:39Are you okay?
01:02:46Why wouldn't I be okay?
01:02:48You've been acting a little funny.
01:02:50That's good. That is good.
01:02:54Yeah, that's a good manipulation technique.
01:02:56You blame the other person for their reactions to the things that you are doing.
01:03:02I'm not doing that.
01:03:04Well, I wasn't completely oblivious after all.
01:03:12Who are you? Really?
01:03:14What?
01:03:16How did you get Gabby's birth certificate?
01:03:18Oh, come on. We know.
01:03:20So you can just cut it out with the I'm a little girl routine.
01:03:23You need to be honest with us.
01:03:24I'm going back to my room.
01:03:26No, no, no. We are going to settle this right now.
01:03:39Okay, okay, okay.
01:03:42All right.
01:03:54Okay. Breathe. Breathe.
01:04:01This is Carl Long at 17 Highview Drive.
01:04:04My wife just went into anaphylactic shock.
01:04:06I administered her epinephrine.
01:04:08Yes, yes, thank you. How long before they get here?
01:04:10Thank you. Okay.
01:04:13They're only a few minutes away.
01:04:15Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell is going on?
01:04:17Jess went into anaphylactic shock. An ambulance is on the way.
01:04:19The dishwashing clothes, I think they're latex.
01:04:21What? How does that happen?
01:04:27No, no, no, no, no.
01:04:29You go into your room.
01:04:31Oliver, you stay here and keep a watch on Gabby.
01:04:33I'm going to the ER with Jess.
01:04:35But this is crazy.
01:04:37Yeah, I told Jess her suspicions were crazy.
01:04:39And look where we are.
01:04:41The important thing is always to get the epinephrine injected intramuscularly as soon as possible.
01:04:45And you manage that.
01:04:47We'd just like to keep you under observation for a little while longer.
01:04:50Of course.
01:04:55Okay, so we have got to figure something out.
01:05:00Okay.
01:05:02Okay.
01:05:04Okay.
01:05:06Okay.
01:05:07So, we have got to figure something out.
01:05:11Yeah, first thing we got to do is get her out of our house.
01:05:13Oh, my God.
01:05:15I'll call the adoption agency and I'll have them pick her up.
01:05:18Or I can drive her to them.
01:05:20But she's gone, okay? Good night.
01:05:22Good night.
01:05:24How do you feel about involving the police?
01:05:26I mean, I'm not thrilled with the idea.
01:05:28Yeah, me neither. I mean, what evidence have we got?
01:05:32Oops, someone made a mistake with the gloves?
01:05:34Uh, no. Those gloves were placed there deliberately.
01:05:40I know, but there's no way to prove it wasn't accidental.
01:05:43No, you're right. She's always got plausible deniability on her side, doesn't she?
01:05:47Honey, I'm sorry. I've been so hard to convince.
01:05:50I should have taken your worries more seriously.
01:05:52It's okay. We're in it together now.
01:05:55Yeah.
01:05:57I want to go home.
01:05:59All right, I'll meet you there. We'll have her stuff packed in the car.
01:06:02See you soon.
01:06:04So I made it very clear that Gabby tried to harm or even kill you.
01:06:08I heard that part. What was her reaction?
01:06:10Shocked, but professional. I guess she's been seen a lot.
01:06:14She said they don't have the facilities to deal with violent criminal behavior,
01:06:17so I'm going to drive Gabby to a psychiatric hospital where she'll meet us.
01:06:22Okay.
01:06:24We'll evaluate her and then I guess the social workers will take her from there.
01:06:26Yeah.
01:06:28Gabby will be back in the system. It's in the worst place.
01:06:30Oh my God. Oh, hey.
01:06:31Okay, don't be upset. I took a taxi.
01:06:34Are you okay?
01:06:36Yes.
01:06:38What happened? Lanny told me you're in the hospital.
01:06:40There's nothing Lanny refuses to share.
01:06:42She was upset. I kept that hurt.
01:06:44Listen, I had an allergic reaction, but I am fine.
01:06:46How can you have a reaction? You never go near latex.
01:06:48Oh my God.
01:06:50Does this have to do with Gabby?
01:06:52I'm going to drive you back to Lantz.
01:06:54No, wait. Is that still necessary? I mean...
01:06:56Your mother and I have a lot to talk to you about.
01:06:58Yeah.
01:07:00She's in her room and I haven't heard a peep.
01:07:02Okay, you two pack her bag.
01:07:04I'll make sure that she takes a bath and is ready to go.
01:07:08Is that necessary?
01:07:10Well, I don't want anyone saying that we neglected her
01:07:12and I'm not sure she's doing a good job of washing herself.
01:07:14Reed, I want you to stay in your room, honey.
01:07:20Okay.
01:07:21Okay.
01:07:29Gabby?
01:07:31Yeah?
01:07:41I need you to come with me, Gabby.
01:07:43Where?
01:07:45We're going to see Mrs. Savage from the adoption agency
01:07:48and you're going to be spending the night,
01:07:49so you need to take a bath and get some things together.
01:07:54Why?
01:07:56Where am I going?
01:07:58Back to my last place for family?
01:08:00You're going to a place where people can help you.
01:08:02Is this like that therapist I had to talk to?
01:08:05No.
01:08:07I know the kind of place you mean.
01:08:09Will they lock people up?
01:08:11I won't go!
01:08:13Let's go pack our things.
01:08:19Okay.
01:08:41I know you don't want to take a bath,
01:08:43but I'm just going to help you get in and out of the tub.
01:08:45I'll leave you with the soap.
01:08:47I'm not going to look at you.
01:08:50But I know you're not a little girl.
01:08:52Okay?
01:08:54So let's not pretend.
01:08:57I'm 15.
01:08:59Are you?
01:09:02I mean, you tell so many lies,
01:09:04it's hard to keep track, right?
01:09:06Are you 15?
01:09:08Are you 18?
01:09:10Are you 20?
01:09:12I only lie about my age.
01:09:14No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:17You're the mother of the singer
01:09:19in your life in Monaco.
01:09:21So I talked big, okay?
01:09:23I knew you knew that was crap, okay?
01:09:25I embarrassed myself
01:09:27because I wanted you to like me.
01:09:32You're good.
01:09:34Such a good manipulator.
01:09:37You don't want to go away,
01:09:39so now you're giving me a half confession.
01:09:44It's not going to work this time.
01:09:47You will be sorry.
01:09:54You will take a bath.
01:09:59I'm going to go get the towels.
01:10:17Come on.
01:10:26Come on.
01:10:32Have you seen Gabby?
01:10:34She really doesn't want to take a bath.
01:10:36Maybe it's not worth pushing it, Jess.
01:10:38Let's just move on.
01:10:40Oh, my God.
01:10:42She went out the back.
01:10:44Gabby?
01:10:45Gabby?
01:10:47Come here, sweetie.
01:10:50Come on, sweetie. It's okay.
01:10:52Gabby?
01:10:54Gabby?
01:10:56We want to help you, Gabby.
01:11:15Gabby?
01:11:29I know it's upsetting,
01:11:31but we find most runaways around here in 24 hours.
01:11:33We'll make sure the photo is widely distributed.
01:11:35Okay.
01:11:37Thank you.
01:11:38Thank you so much.
01:11:46How are you doing?
01:11:48You know.
01:11:50I know Gabby's just a kid,
01:11:52but I don't like the way she said we'd be sorry.
01:11:54She's not a kid,
01:11:56and I am really grateful that the police are involved.
01:12:15Oh, oh.
01:12:17What's the matter?
01:12:19Did you hear that?
01:12:21No, I don't hear anything.
01:12:23It was kind of a thumping.
01:12:25Oh, God.
01:12:27We have mice.
01:12:29I can't deal with them tonight.
01:12:34Oh, Carl, honey, please.
01:12:36It's been such a crappy week,
01:12:38and I just,
01:12:40I feel better when you're next to me.
01:12:42Please.
01:12:43Come on.
01:12:47I'm just going to look around a little.
01:12:49Okay.
01:12:51I mean,
01:12:53it'll be morning before you know it.
01:13:13Okay.
01:13:29Um, honey, I think I found a culprit.
01:13:32I can't hear it if you talk.
01:13:36What culprit?
01:13:40There it is.
01:13:43That's not what I heard.
01:14:14Oh, my God.
01:14:16Oh, my God.
01:14:18Oh, my God. Are you okay?
01:14:20Go get a knife. We have to cut this off of her.
01:14:23Are you okay?
01:14:25Oh, my God.
01:14:27Help!
01:14:29Get away.
01:14:32Stop it! Stop it!
01:14:34Stop!
01:14:39Stop it!
01:14:41She's going to kill me!
01:14:43Don't cut her loose!
01:14:44Please, don't!
01:14:46Did you put her in here?
01:14:47I had to!
01:14:49Because you don't see anything.
01:14:51It's not your fault.
01:14:52I don't blame you.
01:14:53It's just you believe her.
01:14:54Now she's crying.
01:14:56She can see she's not so fair.
01:14:58You were suffocating her.
01:14:59I wasn't suffocating her.
01:15:00If I didn't come to you...
01:15:01I just needed her to stop saying things about me
01:15:04that aren't true.
01:15:06You mean like you tied her up?
01:15:08She tried to poison me, Carl.
01:15:10Does that not matter that she tried to murder me?
01:15:14You're defending her?
01:15:17Did she just?
01:15:19Where did she get the gloves?
01:15:21Did she drive into town and go shopping?
01:15:23She's resourceful.
01:15:24She is very resourceful.
01:15:26I think she had someone from school get those gloves for her.
01:15:28She hasn't been to school in two weeks.
01:15:31They're still working out what grade she should be in.
01:15:32Please, don't do this.
01:15:33Just if I check the grocery receipts,
01:15:36would gloves be on your last one?
01:15:38Would gloves be on your last one?
01:15:53I need you to listen to me.
01:15:55Oh my God.
01:15:56I need you to take me seriously.
01:16:00Oh my God, Jess.
01:16:03Please don't untie her.
01:16:05Please.
01:16:08She's gonna kill me.
01:16:10Huh?
01:16:20She's gonna kill me.
01:16:37I can't believe you're so naive.
01:16:40Because I'm the one who protects this family.
01:16:43I am the one who...
01:16:46I protect our house.
01:16:48I make sure there's no processed food in the house.
01:16:50I'm the one who makes sure that the teachers are okay.
01:16:52I am the one who checks the air advisory every single day.
01:16:56What do you do?
01:16:58You don't even know.
01:17:00Please don't.
01:17:02Please don't.
01:17:03Please don't choose a girl over me.
01:17:06Please don't choose a girl.
01:17:11She wants to get me.
01:17:18Please don't make me go.
01:17:20Please.
01:17:25Okay.
01:17:27Don't touch me.
01:17:29Don't touch me.
01:17:35Please.
01:18:05Please.
01:18:16Persecutory delusional disorder.
01:18:18It's not surprising that you didn't spot it,
01:18:20because outside of their particular delusions,
01:18:22such patients are fully rational.
01:18:25I keep feeling like I should've known.
01:18:26The brain plays a trick on these people.
01:18:28She didn't see Gabby as a harmless child.
01:18:30She saw her as an enemy, hiding in plain sight.
01:18:33Your wife really thought that she was defending herself.
01:18:37And her family.
01:18:39I know you've only just seen her, but can she be helped?
01:18:43These conditions can be challenging.
01:18:45Behavioral therapy may work,
01:18:47but it depends on how willing she is to accept treatment.
01:18:50Right now she's not willing at all.
01:18:52She doesn't trust you or me.
01:18:54That's the problem, isn't it?
01:18:55Unless she's willing to bring herself to trust our good faith,
01:18:58she'll actively work against getting better.
01:19:00You're not making me feel better, Doctor.
01:19:03I don't want to mislead you,
01:19:04but you should know that we have treated people with similar conditions,
01:19:08and they've found their way home again.
01:19:12Okay.
01:19:21Is she alright?
01:19:34Your mother has an illness.
01:19:38It can, uh...
01:19:41It's something that can make people see enemies who aren't really there.
01:19:49No one would choose to be sick this way.
01:19:51It's a bad thing that happens to them.
01:19:55Will she get better?
01:19:56The doctors are going to keep her to try to find the right treatment for her.
01:20:03It may take a while.
01:20:05How long?
01:20:07I don't know.
01:20:12Gabby,
01:20:15why'd you lie about your age?
01:20:20At the orphanage, they always told me,
01:20:23the little kids get taken home.
01:20:25Nobody wants the older ones.
01:20:28So, when Grandma sent for me,
01:20:30I asked a kid I knew to change my birth certificate.
01:20:35His brother used to make IDs for getting into clubs in the city.
01:20:40Grandma didn't know any better.
01:20:42All she heard was that my mother had a child in an orphanage somewhere.
01:20:48She didn't know how old I was, or where I was.
01:20:53I think she wrote to every orphanage in the country.
01:20:57I thought, this is my chance.
01:21:02She'll love me if I'm young.
01:21:05She'll keep me.
01:21:09What about taking Rihanna's things?
01:21:11Dad, I'm not mad about that now.
01:21:13I know.
01:21:15I'm just trying to understand.
01:21:19You just love her so much.
01:21:21I thought if I were just like her,
01:21:23and had the things she had,
01:21:25and placed the things she liked,
01:21:27you know, really, sisters, you know,
01:21:30you might...
01:21:31might...
01:21:32might love me.
01:21:39Gabby.
01:21:47You want to leave?
01:21:49I won't blame you.
01:21:51I mean, we were so sure of ourselves, weren't we?
01:21:53And instead of helping, we were just...
01:21:56one more thing you had to go through.
01:22:02Are you willing to give us another chance?
01:22:04I know it's asking a lot, and the agency might not want to allow it.
01:22:13Don't take that as a yes.
01:22:17We will fight like hell to keep you, okay?
01:22:22Okay.
01:22:34Detective stories.
01:22:41Won't you look at me?
01:22:43What's the point?
01:22:46I tried to hurt a little girl.
01:22:49I mean, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't...
01:22:55What I did was unforgivable, and I can't undo that.
01:23:00It was the illness, Jess.
01:23:03It wasn't you.
01:23:04No, it had to be me, because nobody else made me do it.
01:23:12Rhiannon misses you.
01:23:14She came second in the 800 meter.
01:23:18Gabby and I were cheering her on.
01:23:22Look, I won't say that Gabby's been all smooth sailing.
01:23:26We've had our arguments.
01:23:28I don't think she's ever going to be an easy kid.
01:23:30And the agency's monitoring her every move.
01:23:32Move, what do you mean?
01:23:34But she's really settling in, Jess.
01:23:36She's learning to knit.
01:23:42What?
01:23:43From watching videos online.
01:23:45She made some awful potholders, but then she made this.
01:23:50I thought it was a scarf, but she said it's a shawl.
01:23:53For if you get cold.
01:23:56You said nothing you did was forgivable, but...
01:24:00For a kid who never had a mother, she might have a different point of view.
01:24:06Look, I know I can't even understand how tough this is for you.
01:24:11But don't give up on us.
01:24:13Keep working.
01:24:15Okay, we all want you home.
01:24:16I want to come home.
01:24:19I really do.
01:24:20I know.
01:24:25So Gabby's really...
01:24:27She's an amazing kid, Jess.
01:24:30And she's wanted a family for so long.
01:24:33You should see how well she's doing.
01:24:37And I think...
01:24:39I think she finally feels safe.
01:24:46Gabby?
01:24:48Have you seen my gold hair clip?
01:24:50Sorry.
01:24:51Where did you leave it?
01:24:52I don't know.
01:24:53I can't find my cherry lipstick either.
01:24:55I just keep losing things.
01:25:15You
