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