00:00:00Piano music
00:01:00Let's go.
00:01:30Hey, sweetie.
00:01:34Why don't you do your old man a favor and carry that?
00:01:36Oh, is this the development on the waterfront?
00:01:38No, actually.
00:01:39It's an addition to the new senior citizen center.
00:01:41That's great.
00:01:42Daddy.
00:01:42Yes?
00:01:43I need to talk to you about taking driver's ed next semester.
00:01:46Oh, you're bad.
00:01:48You're trying to do an end run around your mother.
00:01:50Dad, you're changing the subject.
00:01:52Well, I'm trying.
00:01:53Well, you're not going to get away with it.
00:01:55Daddy, could you at least talk to her?
00:01:57I mean, what's the big deal about me getting my license anyway?
00:01:59We went through this last year.
00:02:00Has it ever occurred to you, my darling daughter,
00:02:03that I may actually agree with your mother?
00:02:05You're joking, right?
00:02:07I will see what I can do.
00:02:09I heard that.
00:02:10You gave in, didn't you?
00:02:12Oh, now, don't you think I know which side my bread is buttered on?
00:02:15Mom, it doesn't make any sense.
00:02:16Aside from Sarah Charlotte,
00:02:17I am the only one in my homeroom who doesn't have a license yet.
00:02:20I have an awful lot of work.
00:02:22Uh, up, up.
00:02:23You traitor!
00:02:24No.
00:02:24Dad.
00:02:25Howard!
00:02:28I thought that taking safe driving would make you happy.
00:02:30I just don't understand what the big rush is.
00:02:33I mean, you have so much on your plate right now.
00:02:36You've got your school, you've got your music,
00:02:37and what about that tennis camp you want to go to this summer?
00:02:39Mom, I am not a kid anymore.
00:02:41I know how to manage my time.
00:02:43I guess I'm also concerned.
00:02:45Your grades might suffer.
00:02:46Learning how to drive does not interfere with your grades, Mom.
00:02:49We'll see.
00:02:56So, I thought we'd do some shopping on the weekends.
00:02:59Spend some money, buy some shoes, you know.
00:03:01I thought you were tapped.
00:03:02Well, I was, but Dad came by last night,
00:03:04and you know how he is.
00:03:05If giving me money makes him feel better
00:03:07about leaving us with a cheerleader,
00:03:08who am I to object, right?
00:03:09Sure, why not?
00:03:10I could always use me a pair of shoes.
00:03:11Oh, I almost forgot.
00:03:12Are you coming with me tomorrow?
00:03:14If we're gonna take driver's ed next semester,
00:03:15we'll need our permits.
00:03:16My mom will let me take driver's ed.
00:03:17Still?
00:03:18No, she thinks my grades will suffer.
00:03:20Oh, you're gonna keep working on her, right?
00:03:21Actually, I've moved on to Dad.
00:03:23He's usually easier.
00:03:24Well, you better hurry,
00:03:25because that class fills up pretty quick.
00:03:26Hi, guys.
00:03:27Hey, what's up?
00:03:28Hey, what's up, guys?
00:03:29Ooh, nice shirt.
00:03:32Great bologna and relish.
00:03:33Oh, that's disgusting.
00:03:35Traged it for my BLT.
00:03:36Who made it, you or your mother?
00:03:38My mom.
00:03:40I'll even share my orange juice with you.
00:03:42Let's not overdo this.
00:03:44My God, Adair, you're being nice.
00:03:46Really.
00:03:46His whining was ruining my appetite.
00:03:49Oh, look.
00:03:49There's your boy next door.
00:03:51God, some guys are just too good looking.
00:03:54He eats with his mouth open.
00:03:55Like that would stop you from sticking your tongue in
00:03:57if you had the chance.
00:03:58I dare.
00:03:59I can't believe it.
00:04:00God, Adair, there's guys in this table.
00:04:02No, I dare.
00:04:03I can't believe it.
00:04:05Oh, God.
00:04:05Oh, my God.
00:04:07Sarah Starlitz.
00:04:09Oh.
00:04:09You know I have milk and tolerance.
00:04:10I'm sorry, what do you do about milking?
00:04:13Do you have water to get it out?
00:04:14Yeah, that's fine.
00:04:15Come on.
00:04:16How is anyone supposed to recognize
00:04:18a three-year-old kidnapped 13 years ago?
00:04:21My mom says none of those milk carton kids
00:04:23are ever really kidnapped.
00:04:25They're just kids of divorce.
00:04:26You know, one parent gets mad,
00:04:28takes the kid,
00:04:29doesn't tell the other parent.
00:04:30Hey, don't tell me
00:04:58where Jasmine is ditching school, too.
00:05:02Come on, then.
00:05:12You know, this might sound kind of stupid
00:05:13considering who it's coming from,
00:05:14but you really shouldn't be cutting school.
00:05:17Once or twice a year, it's okay.
00:05:20But any more than that,
00:05:21it kind of gets in your blood.
00:05:23Next thing you know,
00:05:24I'm taking the whole year over again.
00:05:28So, what's with the milk carton?
00:05:33It's a social science project.
00:05:37So, Rob,
00:05:38Here you go.
00:06:00Hey, Mom.
00:06:10Hi.
00:06:10Hi.
00:06:11Hi.
00:06:12How was school?
00:06:14It was fine.
00:06:15You'll ruin your supper that way.
00:06:17You sound like my mother.
00:06:18Well, considering how long I've known you,
00:06:20I think I have the right
00:06:21to a few maternal feelings.
00:06:23Reeve, you want to go put the laundry
00:06:25in the dryer, please?
00:06:26And do I want to?
00:06:28Maybe I should rephrase that.
00:06:32Mrs. Shields.
00:06:36Hmm?
00:06:38Do you remember how old I was
00:06:39when I moved here?
00:06:40Of course I do.
00:06:41You had to have been
00:06:42the cutest little button
00:06:43of a three-year-old.
00:06:44All those freckles
00:06:45and that mop of red hair.
00:06:49What were my parents like then?
00:06:50Well, like they are now, I guess.
00:06:53No, actually,
00:06:53I think they were
00:06:54a little more strict back then.
00:06:56What do you mean?
00:06:57Well, I think older parents
00:06:59tend to be a little more cautious
00:07:00with their children.
00:07:02Your mom and dad knew
00:07:03where you were
00:07:03every minute of the day.
00:07:05Of course, that young,
00:07:06you have to watch your kids,
00:07:08but even playing out
00:07:09in your own backyard
00:07:10or over here with Reeve,
00:07:11your mother was always
00:07:12right out there with you
00:07:13keeping watch.
00:07:14You're running out of room here.
00:07:15Yeah.
00:07:17Almost.
00:07:22Reeve, what's your earliest memory?
00:07:24I mean, how young were you?
00:07:26Well, I guess I
00:07:29would have been
00:07:31about two years old.
00:07:33I remember being really cold
00:07:34because my sister Lizzie
00:07:35locked me out of the house
00:07:36and I didn't have
00:07:37any clothes on.
00:07:38What happened?
00:07:40Yeah, the usual.
00:07:42Lizzie told Mom
00:07:43I ran away.
00:07:45I got in trouble
00:07:45and she got a cookie
00:07:46for finding me.
00:07:48You don't like
00:07:49your sister much, do you?
00:07:49She's okay.
00:07:52I always like her more
00:07:53when she's away at school, though.
00:07:55She'll come from tomorrow,
00:07:57you know?
00:07:57I thought she had
00:07:58that big bar exam coming up.
00:08:00Uh, yeah, well,
00:08:01she already took that.
00:08:03She's coming home
00:08:04to wait for the results.
00:08:05what?
00:08:23Michael's on the phone.
00:08:24Let's go.
00:08:54What?
00:08:57I'm just trying to figure out who I look like.
00:09:01Which features I got from which parent.
00:09:07Now you got your eyes from your dad.
00:09:11And your ears, unfortunately, from me.
00:09:16But you're both so tall.
00:09:18You got your height from your grandmother.
00:09:21My mom was barely five feet tall.
00:09:22Well, as she grew older, she seemed to shrink.
00:09:25One minute she was at my shoulder, and the next she was at my waist.
00:09:33How come there are no baby pictures of me?
00:09:35Um, well, that's because we didn't get around to buying a camera until you were, what, three, four years old?
00:09:47Well, you could have taken me to one of those baby studios.
00:09:49We kept meaning to, but we just never got around to it.
00:09:52Of course, I'm sorry. Now I could kick myself for it.
00:09:54Janie?
00:10:08I'm gonna be stuck at the hospital for a few more hours.
00:10:11One of the volunteers is late.
00:10:13So I'm covering for her until she gets here.
00:10:15Well, do me a favor and set the table for dinner, okay, honey?
00:10:18And I'll pick up some Chinese on the way home.
00:10:21All right, thanks.
00:10:22See you soon.
00:10:23See you soon.
00:10:23See you soon.
00:10:53Katie Chapman, see you soon.
00:11:07Katie Chapman, see you soon.
00:11:23Katie Chapman, see you soon.
00:11:53Katie Chapman, see you soon.
00:12:23Katie Chapman, see you soon.
00:12:25Katie Chapman, see you soon.
00:12:53Hi.
00:12:54How was school?
00:12:55Mom, I need my birth certificate.
00:12:57Mom, I need my birth certificate.
00:12:58What do you want it for?
00:12:59I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:01I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:02I need it for that.
00:13:03I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:04I need it for that.
00:13:05I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:06I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:07I need it for that.
00:13:08Hi.
00:13:09How was school?
00:13:10Hi.
00:13:11How was school?
00:13:12Mom, I need my birth certificate.
00:13:13Mom, I need my birth certificate.
00:13:14What do you want it for?
00:13:15I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:16I'm going for my lawyer's permit.
00:13:17I need it for that.
00:13:18I thought we already discussed that.
00:13:19Can I at least see it?
00:13:20Can I at least see it?
00:13:21I don't think I've ever seen it before.
00:13:22That's because it's with the other important papers in the safety deposit, the bank.
00:13:27Well, let's go get it.
00:13:28Can you see that I'm busy?
00:13:29I've got another ESL student coming in an hour and I've got to prepare the lesson.
00:13:36Then we'll go tomorrow.
00:13:37The banks are closed on Saturday.
00:13:38Okay.
00:13:39We'll go Monday.
00:13:40We'll go when I'm ready to go.
00:13:41Now, look, I've got to get this lesson ready.
00:13:44Just leave me alone, okay?
00:13:45Well, come on.
00:13:46I don't know.
00:13:47I'm not going to be there.
00:13:48I'm not going to be there.
00:13:49I'm not going to be there.
00:13:50I'm going to be there.
00:13:51I thought we already discussed that.
00:13:52Can I at least see it?
00:13:53I don't think I've ever seen it before.
00:13:54That's because it's what the other important papers in the safety deposit, the bank.
00:13:57Just leave me alone, okay?
00:14:14You could at least taste the souvlaki.
00:14:17What's your favorite?
00:14:18Souvlaki.
00:14:19Coco vin.
00:14:20What I'd really like right now is a chocolate milkshake and a hamburger just like everyone else.
00:14:24Hmm.
00:14:24Are you getting pleasure out of this?
00:14:27What?
00:14:28Hurting your mother like this.
00:14:31No, no, no.
00:14:32You volunteer at the hospital all day long and you come home and cook a beautiful meal and all you can do is moan.
00:14:37You know, there are a lot of kids out there right now having macaroni and cheese.
00:14:41I wish I was.
00:14:43You may be a teenager, but you're pushing the envelope a little too far.
00:14:54I'm sorry.
00:14:57I think she's still angry with me about the birth certificate.
00:15:01She asked for it again this morning.
00:15:05I hope we haven't made a mistake.
00:15:06Janey, why have you been so hostile lately?
00:15:24I don't know.
00:15:25You don't know.
00:15:27Well, I suggest you figure it out.
00:15:29This is an ugly mood you're in and I want you to get rid of it because it's getting old real fast.
00:15:33And don't you ever hurt your mother like that again.
00:15:45No, she's not my mother.
00:15:46No, she's not my mother.
00:15:48No, she's not my mother.
00:15:49No, she's not my mother.
00:15:50No, she's not my mother.
00:15:51No, she's not my mother.
00:15:52No, she's not my mother.
00:15:53No, she's not my mother.
00:15:54No, she's not my mother.
00:15:55No, she's not my mother.
00:15:56No, she's not my mother.
00:15:57No, she's not my mother.
00:15:58No, she's not my mother.
00:15:59No, she's not my mother.
00:16:00No, she's not my mother.
00:16:01No, she's not my mother.
00:16:02No, she's not my mother.
00:16:03No, she's not my mother.
00:16:04No, she's not my mother.
00:16:05No, she's not my mother.
00:16:06No, she's not my mother.
00:16:07No, she's not my mother.
00:16:08No, she's not my mother.
00:16:09Hey, girlfriend, what's up?
00:16:21Can I trace a 1-800 call?
00:16:24Can you trace it?
00:16:26Um, whoever.
00:16:28If you call a 1-800 number and you don't say anything,
00:16:31can they find out where you called from?
00:16:34I don't know.
00:16:37Probably.
00:16:39Why do you want to know?
00:16:43Oh, my God.
00:16:44Reeve Shields and Jessica?
00:16:46Just like her, we'll get around her what?
00:16:48I think she's dated after school.
00:16:50You know, he's not the most intelligent guy in the world.
00:16:54But Jessica?
00:16:56I'm saddened to say that Reeve Shields has definitely gone down in my estimation.
00:16:59What are you doing here?
00:17:15I thought you'd be out on a date with Jessica or something.
00:17:19Well, you thought wrong, didn't you, Squirt?
00:17:22You know, I'm getting really sick of that stupid nickname.
00:17:24I'm sorry.
00:17:28You think it's funny?
00:17:33Wait.
00:17:34Wait, this isn't turning out like I wanted it to.
00:17:40Okay.
00:17:40Here goes.
00:17:41Janie?
00:17:46You've done like my little sister.
00:17:49Well, I'm not, Reeve.
00:17:51Yeah, well, I found that out, didn't I?
00:17:53Biding the leaves the other day.
00:17:55And then afterwards.
00:18:01I know I was ignoring you.
00:18:03But your growing up just kind of snuck up on me, you know?
00:18:07It's gonna take a little getting used to.
00:18:13I like you, Janie.
00:18:19But let's just take it day by day.
00:18:21Okay?
00:18:22Okay.
00:18:25Remember when we were little, how you were always talking about getting married, having
00:18:49two kids, and buying them shoes?
00:18:52A little boy and a little girl.
00:18:53And I don't know why I shoot.
00:18:56Well, you have a closet full of them.
00:18:57You must have some sort of a shoe fetish or something.
00:18:59Come on, let's find a restroom.
00:19:00I gotta go.
00:19:02Oh, I don't know.
00:19:04Maybe I should go back and get those white pumps.
00:19:06I mean, I like them and all that.
00:19:07It's just that they're so, well, white.
00:19:10Oh, God.
00:19:12Of course, what I really want to do is go back to get them to create a black spot.
00:19:16Maybe I should go back to my dad by them.
00:19:39That way, he can take all the need.
00:19:41By the way, I forgot to tell you, the cheerleader's been making out like she's my mother again.
00:19:45I mean, who does she think she is?
00:19:47Like, I'm gonna listen to anything she says.
00:19:49So I told her to her face.
00:19:50I said, look, I've got one mother, and it ain't you, lady.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:53I have to know, please, why are there no baby pictures of me?
00:20:07Why won't you let me see my birth certificate, and please tell me,
00:20:10why is there a trunk in the attic filled with things that belong to a girl named Hannah?
00:20:13Hannah is our daughter, Janie.
00:20:39She's your mother.
00:20:40You're not really our daughter.
00:20:45You're our granddaughter.
00:21:00When Hannah was 18, she joined a young people's group called the...
00:21:05the Children of the Natural Order.
00:21:09My mother was the member of a cult?
00:21:13Why didn't you stop her?
00:21:15Well, they...
00:21:16they seemed innocuous at first.
00:21:19Your mother and I were happy that...
00:21:22Hannah had finally started making some friends.
00:21:25See, she always seems...
00:21:27seems...
00:21:29so lost somehow.
00:21:31She was always, um...
00:21:33searching for something.
00:21:35We got a lawyer, we went to the police.
00:21:40But Hannah was considered an adult.
00:21:42Next thing we knew, they moved.
00:21:44No forwarding address.
00:21:48You were wearing this the first time I saw you.
00:21:52I remember I was working in the kitchen,
00:21:54and there was a knock at the back door,
00:21:56and I opened it, and there was Hannah.
00:21:59With you.
00:21:59You should have told me.
00:22:08It just never seemed to...
00:22:10be the right time.
00:22:15And my father.
00:22:16What about him?
00:22:18I'm sorry, baby.
00:22:20Hannah never told us his name.
00:22:22Why didn't my mother want me?
00:22:29Oh.
00:22:30It wasn't.
00:22:31No.
00:22:32It wasn't that she didn't want you.
00:22:34It was more complicated than that.
00:22:35There were...
00:22:36there were rumors that, uh...
00:22:39the cult members were...
00:22:40were doing things to the children.
00:22:44Hannah was convinced that the cult
00:22:46was coming back to get you.
00:22:50We were all terrified.
00:22:52But she went back.
00:22:57Yes.
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:03Yes, she did.
00:23:08And she gave you to us
00:23:09a chance for a stable life.
00:23:14It was the one thing Hannah could give you.
00:23:19I think it was the most important.
00:23:22It feels so good to have Hannah
00:23:31in her home again.
00:23:32The papers in the trunk
00:23:33said Hannah Javidson for me.
00:23:37Javidson was our name
00:23:38before we changed it to Jess.
00:23:41Hannah was afraid of the cult,
00:23:43so we moved and we changed our name.
00:23:44And then we made the hardest decision
00:23:48in our lives.
00:23:50We stopped writing to Hannah.
00:23:52And we did that for you.
00:23:53Peter?
00:24:03We did it.
00:24:03Please, Peter.
00:24:12real music in the back.
00:24:13Oh, my...
00:24:15Is that right?
00:24:16You're right?
00:24:16Yes.
00:24:17You're right.
00:24:17Here there's some people
00:24:18like you change my operation
00:24:19and like the crisis.
00:24:20I guess you're切 in fear.
00:24:21You have great life off the door.
00:24:21Oh, God.
00:24:22Oh, God.
00:24:22Carleton.
00:24:31This is nuts.
00:24:32You know that?
00:24:34I mean, your parents are your grandparents.
00:24:36That doesn't make any sense.
00:24:38That's what they say, but it doesn't explain the milk carton, does it?
00:24:40Why don't you just show them the milk carton?
00:24:42I mean, maybe they wouldn't have an explanation.
00:24:43No.
00:24:44If Hannah or the cult is trying to find me, you know how my parents would react.
00:24:49Well, what if it's just your real dad looking for you?
00:24:51Reeve, my dad is my real dad.
00:24:54It doesn't matter who made up this milk carton.
00:24:56If someone is trying to track me down, I've got to find them.
00:24:58It's the only way I can protect my mom and dad.
00:25:06There are five sands listed in Carleton.
00:25:13Let's get started then.
00:25:21I hope we have better luck here than the last three stops.
00:25:37You know you don't have to do this.
00:25:39Yes, I do.
00:25:42Wait a sec.
00:25:43See you later.
00:25:51Take it easy.
00:25:52See you later.
00:25:53Bye, Jess.
00:25:54Bye.
00:25:54See you.
00:25:56Bye, guys.
00:26:01Oh, my God.
00:26:03Check out their red hair.
00:26:08Get us out of here, beef.
00:26:09Go.
00:26:10Go.
00:26:10Please, get us out of here.
00:26:12Go.
00:26:23They lied to me.
00:26:27Reeve, my parents lied to me.
00:26:29Come.
00:26:32Å¥
00:26:51Go.
00:26:52Go.
00:26:56Go.
00:26:56Go.
00:26:57Go.
00:26:57no matter what i do i just keep seeing all those redheads i wish they would go away they're just
00:27:23like this this thing waiting for me to make a mistake well if you can't stop thinking about
00:27:27it why don't you just give them a call write them a letter at least let them know you're all right
00:27:31and tell them what that i might be their daughter well if they really are your parents they deserve
00:27:35to know you're okay so call them up and say that i walked away from you and i don't even know if
00:27:40i screamed or fought i mean how could i have otherwise hannah couldn't have taken me
00:27:45what kind of a kid doesn't fight back when they're kidnapped a three-year-old
00:27:50dear mr and mrs sands i know this may sound strange but i think i may be your daughter
00:28:14this is hard for me because i know that jennifer was kidnapped
00:28:16only i have a wonderful mother and father and a wonderful life and i've always been very happy
00:28:21so i just don't see how i could be jennifer but i keep having these memories shopping for shoes
00:28:29a red-haired woman a big man with a beard i don't know maybe they aren't memories at all
00:28:34maybe they're just figments of my imagination if only there was an easy way for me to find out
00:28:40the truth but there isn't no matter what i do it seems that someone is going to be hurt
00:28:44i wish i knew the right thing to do if only i could remember more janey but i just don't
00:28:50i think your next class is waiting
00:28:56i guess i'm scared to phone you because you might call the police about my parents but you can't
00:29:11because they are my parents my mom and dad
00:29:13i can't believe that my parents kidnapped me it does not make sense
00:29:23my boyfriend thinks i should send you this letter he thinks you deserve some peace of mind but i
00:29:29don't know if i can take the chance
00:29:30i wish i i wish i knew a safe way to tell you that
00:29:36if i am jennifer i'm all right and you can stop worrying now
00:29:41oh

00:29:48so i don't like smelly feet
00:29:50well you know something next week i'm gonna put you on laundry detail
00:29:54what i don't understand is how come my parents never heard about the kidnapping
00:30:05who knows
00:30:07well maybe it never made the local papers
00:30:09and they've never really been tv watchers they were probably just distracted
00:30:13i mean hannah was home and they had a little kid running around
00:30:15i thought you weren't going to talk about this carlink and stuff for a while
00:30:19i can't help it
00:30:20well i guess not enough of a distraction for you huh
00:30:23i can't tell you how tired i am of hearing about this day after day after day after
00:30:30wait you don't think this is important
00:30:31i may have been kidnapped and you don't think this is important

00:30:41you really haven't made it easy for me have you

00:36:06spend 13 years of your life
00:36:09believe in that child as alive

00:36:14please

00:36:16to calm ourselves
00:36:17and think about jennifer's best interest
00:36:20as your counselor
00:36:22i'd like to advise
00:36:23mr jessman
00:36:23mrs jessman
00:36:24you have one week
00:36:26to give us back our daughter
00:36:27under our conditions
00:36:28then you'll see us in court
00:36:30how do you feel about our daughter
00:36:42i'm not lying
00:36:43how do you feel about our daughter
00:36:45oh nonsense
00:36:46i was suddenly expecting to stop loving her
00:36:48to turn my back and walk away
00:36:49i'm sorry janey
00:36:50it's been a great 13 years
00:36:52but you just go off
00:36:52and have a good life
00:36:53with your new parents
00:36:53i don't understand what you're saying
00:36:55but we've got to do what's right
00:36:56do you think giving up janey is right
00:36:58how would you feel if this situation were reversed
00:37:00i am not giving up another daughter
00:37:02period
00:37:02so i was thinking
00:37:05maybe we could share custody with them
00:37:07like some divorced couples do
00:37:08no
00:37:10the jessmans stole her johnson
00:37:13they stole my little girl
00:37:13and want her back
00:37:14we don't know that they stole her
00:37:17or that they even knew about her
00:37:18we don't know that they didn't
00:37:19who's to say that this
00:37:20her and the kid
00:37:21isn't a figment of their imagination
00:37:22seda
00:37:23they seem like honest folks
00:37:26if they didn't want to tell the truth
00:37:28they wouldn't have come forward
00:37:29in the first place
00:37:29i don't care
00:37:33i'm not going to share
00:37:34her with anyone
00:37:35don't ask me to
00:37:38that just is not
00:37:39possible
00:37:40i could take your money
00:37:42i could take a lot of your money
00:37:44but i agree with your counselor
00:37:47if you and the sands
00:37:49could work this out together
00:37:50it'd be better for everyone concerned
00:37:53but the sands don't want us
00:37:54to have any contact with james
00:37:55for a period of three months
00:37:57after that they've agreed to visitation rights
00:37:59well how can we go three months
00:38:00without seeing our daughter
00:38:01i don't understand you go 13 years
00:38:03without seeing theirs
00:38:04there's another thing to consider
00:38:09the fbi has asked to sit in
00:38:11on your next meeting
00:38:12why
00:38:16kidnapping's a federal offense
00:38:19and since they are investigating
00:38:21hannah
00:38:21and you
00:38:23why are they investigating us
00:38:26to see if there are any grounds
00:38:29to indict you
00:38:30for kidnapping
00:38:31oh lord
00:38:33daddy if it was the other way around
00:38:38if you knew the sands had hannah
00:38:42would you take them to court
00:38:43to get her back
00:38:44i suppose i would
00:38:49are you going to let them take me away
00:38:54what do you want us to do
00:38:56i don't know them

00:46:28Oh, it's fine.
00:46:29Thanks.
00:46:34You're welcome.
00:46:34You want to apologize to your sister, Steven?
00:46:44Which one?
00:46:52Sorry.
00:46:53It's okay.
00:46:56Oh, Mrs. Sands, I don't drink milk.
00:46:58Oh.
00:47:01That's right.
00:47:01I forgot.
00:47:02My Jenny's allergic to milk.
00:47:04How about some iced tea?
00:47:11I've made out these two drawers for you, but I don't think you're supposed to...
00:47:14Um, you know what I can do?
00:47:17I'll just put my suitcases under the bed.
00:47:19Okay.
00:47:19That way it's like having an extra drawer of space and it'll be like a captain's bed.
00:47:29Here.
00:47:31Me and Mom bought you this.
00:47:44That's nice.
00:47:46Thanks.
00:47:48Hey.
00:47:49I just want to say goodnight to our two girls.
00:47:52Goodnight, Daddy.
00:47:53Jump in.
00:47:57Hold on.
00:48:11Goodnight, Shani.
00:48:13Goodnight, Mr. Sands.
00:48:14Goodnight, little boy.
00:48:20Goodnight, Mom.
00:48:24Well, this must have been pretty strange for you, huh?
00:48:33You know, you may not remember this, but this used to be your room.
00:48:37I don't remember.
00:48:38I don't remember.
00:48:40I'm sorry.
00:48:45Well, maybe you will remember in time.
00:48:49Goodnight, Jenny.
00:48:56Goodnight, Jenny.
00:48:57Goodnight.
00:49:05I'm so glad you're home.
00:49:07I'm so glad you're home.
00:49:29PIANO PLAYS
00:49:59It's your grandfather, grandmother.
00:50:05Come on, I'm going to show you something.
00:50:17Is that me?
00:50:19Mm-hmm.
00:50:21It's you at one.
00:50:23And this is your christening.
00:50:24Oh.
00:50:25And, uh, you know this picture?
00:50:32The one on the milk carton.
00:50:35Every couple of years, I'd put this on the carton.
00:50:39First time, everyone supported me.
00:50:42And if there's a second time, they said they understood.
00:50:44But the third and this last time...
00:50:48Well, I guess they thought it was time for me to forget.
00:50:57You try to give up to get on with your life, but...
00:51:00No matter what you promise yourself, you've got to...
00:51:04Give it that one last try.
00:51:14Sorry, there are no...
00:51:16More pictures after age three.
00:51:17I wanted to wait until you were here a little longer, but I...
00:51:30Well, I have to know.
00:51:32Um, did...
00:51:35Did they hurt?
00:51:37Were you hurt in any way?
00:51:38Did Hannah do anything to you to make her...
00:51:43You go with her, or...
00:51:44Um, I'm sorry.
00:51:49I don't really remember.
00:51:53But...
00:51:54I think I wanted to go with her.
00:51:55I think I was...
00:51:56I was having fun.
00:52:02Well.
00:52:04Thank God you weren't hurt.
00:52:06Thank God.
00:52:06Thank God.
00:52:14Jenny, it's...
00:52:18It isn't being disloyal to the Jasmines to start liking us.
00:52:26I know you're not ready to call me Mom, or...
00:52:29Your father, Daddy.
00:52:33I know that those are precious words.
00:52:35But it is okay for you to relax here.
00:52:41To have a good time, to...
00:52:43To laugh.
00:52:46Maybe even let somebody hug you.
00:52:58Just give it some time, honey.
00:53:03Well, I'll just give it some time.
00:53:05Bye, Mom.
00:53:17Bye.
00:53:19I'll be back to pick you up at 310.
00:53:21Don't start that again, Mom.
00:53:23Some of us have enough sense not to get lost.
00:53:25You can go back to taking the bus tomorrow.
00:53:29Well, Jenny...
00:53:31This is not gonna be easy.
00:53:32I wish I could tell you different,
00:53:34but I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:53:37Just be brave.
00:53:37You make it through today and tomorrow
00:53:38will be a lot easier.
00:53:40I promise.
00:53:41Thanks.
00:53:41Bye.
00:53:45Now, little one.
00:53:46I'll take care of her, Mom.
00:53:48Bye.
00:53:49Bye.
00:53:49I know it's a big school, but you'll get used to it.
00:53:57They know about me, don't they?
00:53:59We had an assembly.
00:54:01You had an assembly about me?
00:54:04The principal wanted to make things easier, I guess.
00:54:07She told everybody they had to mind their own business
00:54:08and not ask you any questions.
00:54:11God.
00:54:11God.
00:54:11What's this?
00:54:19She already told me you wanted to go for your learner's permit,
00:54:21so I thought you might need that.
00:54:26My birth certificate.
00:54:30Jennifer.
00:54:31Marguerite Sands.
00:54:33Father Jonathan.
00:54:36Mother Seda.
00:54:37You see, honey,
00:54:40you really do belong to us.
00:54:44To us.
00:54:44Mother Seda.
00:55:09Hello?
00:55:11Janie?
00:55:12You okay?
00:55:15Oh.
00:55:16Oh, it's so good to hear your voice.
00:55:20Oh, they're nice, but...
00:55:22But I'd rather be with you.
00:55:25Oh, is Daddy there?
00:55:26Can I talk to him?
00:55:29Janie?
00:55:31Yeah, I know.
00:55:33I miss you, too, more than anything.
00:55:36Yeah, well, I can't believe the Sands let you call us.
00:55:40Well, they...
00:55:40They didn't.
00:55:41I know I'm breaking our promise,
00:55:45but Daddy, I really want to come home.
00:56:02They didn't call me.
00:56:03I called them.
00:56:05They knew nothing about it, I swear.
00:56:07Can I speak to them, please?
00:56:14Hello?
00:56:15Mr. Jessamyn.
00:56:16Yes, I know.
00:56:18She told us.
00:56:21Mr. Jessamyn, my husband and I have been talking,
00:56:23and perhaps it would be better for Jenny's adjustment.
00:56:25If he...
00:56:26If he wouldn't...
00:56:32Miss Jessamyn would speak with Jenny twice a week.
00:56:36At least until things settle down a little.
00:56:42You have no idea what this means to us.
00:56:44Maybe we should just think of her as a foreign exchange student, you know?
00:56:53She speaks a different language,
00:56:54has different customs,
00:56:56she gets homesick a lot.
00:56:57Well, at least the TV people have left.
00:57:04My mom and I used to have popcorn after school.
00:57:08I don't want any.
00:57:09Sure you do, Jenny.
00:57:10Come on, Stephen just pour the milk.
00:57:12How many times do I have to tell you I'm allergic to milk?
00:57:20I don't know, Jenny.
00:57:22Why don't you tell us again?
00:57:23You know, we, Sands, we're such slow learners.
00:57:26So why don't you tell us again about your allergy
00:57:28and your precious Wilmington
00:57:31and the precious Jessamyn's?
00:57:34Come on, Jenny, tell us.
00:57:38I hate you!
00:57:39You can't even take a bowl of popcorn from us!
00:57:43I don't know why Mom and Dad
00:57:44always thought you were so special.
00:57:46It's not fair.
00:57:47We couldn't do anything because of you.
00:57:49We couldn't even move
00:57:50because Mom's afraid you might come back to the house one day.
00:57:52Cut it out.
00:57:53No!
00:57:55And you're not the only one that cries at night, you know.
00:57:57You're not the only one.
00:57:58You're not the only one.
00:57:58It's been hard on Jody.
00:58:13Mom, well, she used to run after strangers.
00:58:16Just checking to see if the kid they had was you.
00:58:18It kind of gets embarrassing after a while.
00:58:35Can I play?
00:58:41Sure.
00:58:41I win!
00:59:02I win!
00:59:03Oh, my gosh.
00:59:04You cheated.
00:59:05Look at that.
00:59:06How did you get four aces?
00:59:07What do you got?
00:59:08So, it's a start.
00:59:12I can't believe you.
00:59:14You cheated.
00:59:15Oh, I mean, mine is your name.
00:59:16I guess.
00:59:16Oh, yeah.
00:59:17Hey, it's a great day.
00:59:22We should be out shooting some baskets.
00:59:25Dad.
00:59:26Or playing soccer in the park.
00:59:30Dad, come on.
00:59:32I don't feel like it.
00:59:33Could you move, please?
00:59:34Seda.
00:59:35Oh, I've got too much to do.
00:59:38Well, if you wouldn't mind teaching me, I'd like to learn how to play soccer.
00:59:49Sure.
00:59:51Great.
00:59:52Oh, yeah.
00:59:53Oh, yeah.
01:00:02Okay, go outing.
01:00:04Oh, no.
01:00:05Oh, no.
01:00:08Whoa.
01:00:09Oh, no, no.
01:00:09Whoa.
01:00:10Whoa.
01:00:14Oh, no.
01:00:15Oh, no.
01:00:16Oh.
01:00:17Yes! Yes!
01:00:18Woo! That was beautiful.
01:00:21Come on, y'all, give us a break.
01:00:24Hey, you're gonna lose.
01:00:26That was beautiful.
01:00:29Take your blood.
01:00:30Take your blood.
01:00:35All right, we're gonna get back here.
01:00:41Oh, look at you.
01:00:47I think we're gonna be all right, Jonathan.
01:00:57I think we're gonna be all right.
01:00:59It was so good!
01:01:02If you miss her so much, you should go see her.
01:01:04Well, I'm not allowed to.
01:01:05You're not allowed to skip school either, but you do.
01:01:09Of course, I'm not supposed to go see her either.
01:01:12How about Saturday?
01:01:13Saturday.
01:01:17Come on!
01:01:23Hi.
01:01:24Hi.
01:01:25Hi.
01:01:26We're here to see Janie.
01:01:28Her name's Jenny.
01:01:32You know Jenny?
01:01:34Yeah.
01:01:36I'm her boyfriend.
01:01:38And this is Sarah Charlotte.
01:01:42Yeah, yes, Reeve, of course.
01:01:45Jenny's mentioned you both.
01:01:47Um, go get Jenny.
01:01:54Um, please, come in.
01:01:57Hey, Reeve.
01:01:58Mr. Sands.
01:02:00Hi, Sarah Charlotte.
01:02:01Nice to meet you.
01:02:02Nice to meet you.
01:02:03Um, we thought that since you let Jenny call her parent...
01:02:07the Jessamyn's.
01:02:10Maybe you wouldn't mind if we took her out to lunch or something.
01:02:15Hi.
01:02:15Oh, my God, you look so good.
01:02:17You look so good.
01:02:18Oh, no.
01:02:18Oh, God, I missed you.
01:02:19Oh, no.
01:02:22I missed you so much.
01:02:24I missed you.
01:02:24I missed you.
01:02:24You're so pretty.
01:02:38Wow.
01:02:38Well, your family seems pretty nice.
01:02:51They're nice.
01:02:52They're not my parents, you know.
01:02:55Oh, hey, did I tell you I finally got my learner's permit?
01:02:59That's great.
01:03:00Yeah, I'm trying to talk Reeve into letting me drive his Jeep home.
01:03:03Yeah, well, you give us some time alone, and I might search to consider it.
01:03:11Well, then, I guess it's just, uh, me and, uh, the fish.
01:03:16Yes.
01:03:17You're going to let her drive her Jeep?
01:03:19No.
01:03:21I just said that so she'd give us some time alone.
01:03:23I have missed you so much.
01:03:25I miss you, too.
01:03:26I was so surprised when I saw you.
01:03:29I've just been dreaming that you'd come, and then all of a sudden, here you are.
01:03:33You know what would make it perfect?
01:03:37What?
01:03:40You take me back home with you.
01:03:46I don't know, maybe.
01:03:51Tell Mom and Dad I love them.
01:03:53Okay?
01:04:03Mr. Stanz?
01:04:04Yeah.
01:04:07I was wondering, it's my senior year, and the prom's coming up.
01:04:12And I'd like to take Janie, or Jenny.
01:04:14But she'd have to spend a night.
01:04:24Now, if you don't want the Jessamines, uh, but they're really great people.
01:04:30She could stay at my house.
01:04:33My mom would love that.
01:04:34If Jenny wants to go to your prom with you, that's fine.
01:04:49We'll work out the details later.
01:04:55Safe home.
01:04:57You got it.
01:05:00All right.
01:05:01So, why don't you wear green at the prom?
01:05:17Redheads always look pretty and green.
01:05:19I know it's stupid, but I always want to wear pink.
01:05:22Well, maybe you should talk to Mom.
01:05:24She says really well.
01:05:25Maybe she can make you pink dress that wouldn't clasp with your hair.
01:05:27His car, is that?
01:05:29Burn it up.
01:05:31Oh, Peter.
01:05:36Jenny?
01:05:38Jenny, this is Agent Mollison from the FBI.
01:05:43He's been investigating your kidnapping.
01:05:47What's he doing here?
01:05:48Well, I'm here to talk to your mother and father about Hannah Javinson.
01:05:52What about Hannah?
01:05:53Well, we know a little bit more about what happened to her.
01:05:58Honey, she's dead.
01:06:05She was a prostitute?
01:06:08Well, Agent Mollison said that that's not that unusual for an unhappy, desperate girl like Hannah.
01:06:15Maybe she couldn't find what she wanted in the cult, or maybe the cult threw her out for some reason.
01:06:20We'll never know.
01:06:20How did she die?
01:06:24Hepatitis.
01:06:26It was five years ago.
01:06:27Do Mom and Dad know that Hannah's dead?
01:06:32The FBI went and spoke with the Jessamins before they came here.
01:06:36Oh, God, I'm going to call them.
01:06:38Leave them alone.
01:06:39I want to talk to my parents.
01:06:40I said no.
01:06:41Jennifer, you put that phone down.
01:06:43You're not my father.
01:06:43You can't tell me what you're doing.
01:06:44I'm your father.
01:06:45Now you listen to me.
01:06:47You want to call up the Jessamins?
01:06:48Then what?
01:06:49What are you going to say?
01:06:49You want to talk to them about their dead prostitute daughter?
01:06:52Why?
01:06:53Because you're hurting?
01:06:53Because you're in pain?
01:06:55You seem to think you're the only one who's suffering here.
01:06:58Let me tell you something.
01:06:59The Jessamins are suffering ten times more than you are.
01:07:02Their daughter, their real daughter, is a prostitute.
01:07:06And a kidnapper, and God knows what else.
01:07:10As long as they had you, they could pretend otherwise.
01:07:13But now they have to face the truth.
01:07:15Jenny, they just found out about Hannah.
01:07:18Let's just give them a few days to get over the shock.
01:07:20I hate you.
01:07:34Jenny.
01:07:34My name is Jenny.
01:07:39Jessamins.
01:07:43I'm the daughter of Frank and Miranda Jessamins.
01:07:48And I want to go home.
01:07:49Okay.
01:08:06I want to go home.
01:08:06I want to go home.
01:08:08It was my friend.
01:08:08I want to go home.
01:08:09I want to go home.
01:08:10I don't know.
01:08:40Well, you got kidnapped. Everything changed.
01:08:47Do you know what it's like to have your mother walk you to school every day?
01:08:51To have her waiting when the bell rings to walk you home?
01:08:55And to listen to all the other kids call your mother paranoid, only she wasn't, was she?
01:09:02I mean, my mother knew exactly what could happen when little variety kids get left alone.
01:09:06And I just want to let you know that I think you are scum.
01:09:12And I wish you had never been found.
01:09:13I wish you had never been found.
01:09:15I wish you had never been found.

01:20:37We were shopping for shoes.
01:21:01You and Steven had already gotten your pair,
01:21:03and I was
01:21:05fitting Jody.
01:21:07My back was turned for just a second.
01:21:13When I turned back around,
01:21:18you were gone.
01:21:20And
01:21:21I just
01:21:24stood there.
01:21:29All of those
01:21:29precious moments just slipping away.
01:21:32I just stood there.
01:21:33I think I thought if I stood there long enough,
01:21:39that maybe...
01:21:41maybe you would suddenly
01:21:44be back in front of me again.
01:21:49I'm so sorry.
01:21:52I'm so sorry I went with Hannah.
01:21:54I don't know why I did.
01:21:56I'm sorry I was bad.
01:21:58I'm sorry.
01:22:01No,
01:22:02you were bad.
01:22:05It wasn't your fault.
01:22:07It's taken me a long,
01:22:13a long time to realize.
01:22:19But it wasn't mine.
01:22:22It's...
01:22:23It simply was.
01:22:26there was no
01:22:30point in my
01:22:32blame.
01:22:37I want you to know
01:22:38that I'm glad I saw myself
01:22:42on the milk cart.
01:22:46I'm glad I found you.
