Welcome to Seattle Today. # I am the captain of the pinafore # # And a right good captain, too # # You're very, very good # # but be it understood, I command # It's almost ready, you guys. We'll be right down! We'll be right down! (Knock knock) # Occasionally say # # I'm never, never sick at sea # # But never? # # No, never # # What, never? # # Well, hardly ever ## (Knock knock) We're going to be talking about travelling with children later. (Clicks off) Aah! Michael! Emma, stay right there. What's the matter? All right, Claire. Stay here. Mommy? Oh! Hey! Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing here? Mommy! It's OK, sweetheart. This gentleman says The Better Way Society sent him. Uh, Better` Better Day. I'm sorry` Better Day Society. Yeah. The Better Day Society helps place the mentally disabled with employment... Uh... I live there. Of course. You're, uh, here to build the fence. Yeah. I tried knocking. Solomon, right? Renee Peterson told us about your work. I'm Claire. This is my husband Michael. Heh! Yeah. We met outside. And this is Emma. Hello. It's nice to make your acquaintance, Emma. (Claire) I'll show Solomon around. Why don't you see if he'd like anything to drink? My mom says to ask if you want anything. I'd like a brand-new bicycle with a big basket on the handlebars, and some gears. That sounds neat. Yeah. OK, um... OK, yeah! OK, I see. Um... you wanted to take away this? Yeah. Yeah. The fence should contain the whole area, and the gate should be there. Um, uh... d-do you want the fence to, um, keep people in or... or keep people out? Um... well, both. Mostly, it should keep people out. OK! OK. 1... 2... 3... 5... 9. Heh heh! J-Just kidding. Ha ha ha! I got a tape measure. See? All right. Um... is everything all right out here? Right... as rain. Mrs Bartel? The doctor will see you. This is your first exam here? Yes. My doctor retired. Dr Mott was kind enough to take me. He's one of the best. Expecting his own. Oh, really? Take everything off. Put this on. OK. Doctor. Mrs Bartel! Hi. Hi. I'm Dr Mott. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. So...how are we today? Just great. Baby's kind of kicking up a storm all day. This is your second child. You're a pro at this. Ha ha ha! Well... You have a history of asthma. Any problems? No, none at all. Let's take a look. Feet up! I thought pelvic exams were unusual after the third month. We won't do that again until the 36th week. I want to make sure all my new patients have a full exam on their first visit. (Nurse) Mrs Miller's calling again for the test results. Give them to her. She's all clear. If she has questions, I'll call her back. (Nurse) Would you hold, please? Oh, Maria` when you're in the lab, call in yesterday's paps results. Yes, doctor. Sorry about that. It's OK. Why don't we start with the breast exam? Weather's been beautiful, hasn't it? Uh, it has. Yeah. I love taking walks after the rainstorm. It's very important for you to give yourself breast exams. Relax. (Receptionist) We need to schedule your next appointment. (Wheezing) (Wheezing continues) (Door opens) Claire? Oh, Michael! Honey, what's the matter? (Sobbing) Honey, what's wrong? Claire? The way he was touching me, he wasn't examining me. It was like, um... H-he was getting off on it. I mean, I... what if I accused him, and I was wrong? Do you think you're wrong? No. We have to file a complaint. Michael, I don't think I can. Honey, listen to me. If we don't report this, he'll do the same thing to somebody else. You have to trust yourself. I don't think I can, Michael. I think you can. We'll go through it together. (Newscaster) Even with supplies being flown in daily, aid is not reaching many refugees. Dr Victor Mott, a Seattle gynaecologist and obstetrician, was brought up today on formal charges by the District Attorney. The scandal began when one of Mott's pregnant patients went to the State Medical Board, claiming she'd been sexually molested during an examination. Since the patient's initial accusation, four more women have come forward, alleging that they, too, had been sexually molested while in the doctor's care. Citing the possibility of criminal misdeeds, the case was turned over to the DA. (Gunshot) Dr Mott was unavailable for comment. The suicide provision's clear. The insurance company may return a small settlement. Mrs Mott, although your husband had sizable assets, they've been frozen by the state. Frozen. This is normal procedure when the estate is probably going to be sued. Mrs Mott, you're free to stay in the house until you have your baby, but you should begin to make alternative plans. I'm sorry, Mrs Mott. Can I help? Get an ambulance here, right away! Eiiee... Aaah! I'll need blood! Get the belt down. Somebody undo the valves. I want her vital signs! ...standing by. My baby! She's haemorrhaging. We could lose them. I can feel it kicking. You can? (Doctor) Keep her still! Argh! I can't stop this blood. Call anaesthesia. I have to operate. Chest compressions are reducing. Apgar's low. We're losing him! Nooo! (Laughter) (Doctor) Hold her down! (Nurse) He's gone. No. Anaesthesiologist is on the way. No! Increase drip to 90. (Nurse) Her pressure's 80 over 40. She didn't touch it. Emergency hysterectomy. She's depressed. Let me try. (Newscaster) ...Victor Mott's estate. The four suits were filed... Mrs Mott, you've got to eat. ...investigation was dropped when Mott was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Claire Bartel hasn't filed a suit, although she was first to accuse Mott of molesting her. It was Bartel's accusation... I'll leave your food. ...that prompted others to come forward. I'm coming to the back door. I'm getting closer. I am now entering the back door. Morning, Solomon. Morning. Thank you. (Baby crying) Oh. Hi, little baby! (Baby crying) Sorry, mom. Oh, it's OK. Don't cry, baby. Oh, that's a big boy. That's a big` Thank you, Solomon. OK, sweetheart. Remember, The Better Day Society said not to handle the baby. (Solomon) Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. I wanted to help. I know you did. Thanks. Ooh woo hoo hoo! They're replacing small greenhouses at the botanical gardens. I might get a frame. Let me guess` you want to build a greenhouse. Yeah. The frame and hardware are there. All I'd have to do is erect it and replace the glass. Aren't you taking on too much? Have you thought any more about a nanny? I wouldn't feel comfortable having anyone we've interviewed take care of Joey. It's not like when we had Emma. You don't need to do everything yourself. (Emma) What about Solomon? He could do it. I don't think Solomon would make a very good nanny. Why not? Remember talking about how special Solomon is? Yeah. Well, there are just some things he can't do. What's going to happen to Solomon when Solomon finishes painting the trim? (Michael) Well... when he finishes painting, we'll find something else for him to do. OK? OK. Hurry up, sweetheart! Bye, mom! Bye! Mrs Thompson! Mrs Thompson! (Brakes screech) (Mrs Mott) Thanks. Thanks for stopping! Here you go, sweetheart. Thanks, mom. Thanks. That was nice of you. You're welcome. Well, thanks. Thank you. Excuse me. Do you know where the Bartels live? Oh, I'm Claire Bartel. Oh, hi! I'm Peyton Flanders. Hi! I`I was coming about the nanny position. Do you want to come on up to the house? I can't believe I forgot we had an appointment. I'm usually good about these things. Well, actually, I didn't have an appointment. Did the agency tell you to stop by? No. I'm not with an agency. Oh. I've only worked with one family. They're moving. I didn't know what I was going to do. I was with their girl in the park. Nannies talk. I heard you needed someone... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shown up. Oh, no! It's fine. Really. You're here. Come in. Are you sure? Yeah! OK. Usually, I ask questions like "Are you old enough to drive?" Ha ha! Thank you. Oh, here. Don't lose this. Husband's been after me to fix this thing. Well. Ha ha! Let's see. How did you become a nanny? Well, um... a few years ago, I lost a baby and my husband within days of each other. The miscarriage prevented me from having more children. It was a difficult time. A mutual friend set me up with a family that needed a nanny. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. I adore children. I love being with them and taking care of them. For me, it's... the next best thing to actually being a mother. Well, I'm building my own greenhouse. Although I'll be right in the back yard, I'm anticipating being very busy. (Baby crying) That's Joe. Ha! Oh. I'd love to meet him. Nursery's across from the master bedroom. (Solomon) Claire! I need to ask something! I'll be right back. Excuse me. (Baby crying) (Claire) Try to open it from the inside. If you can't, wait for Michael. Solomon, this is Peyton. Peyton, Solomon. Nice to meet you, Solomon. Oh. Hello. Oh, I`I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Uh, I'm sorry. Oh, that's all right. It was an accident. Anyone can have an accident. OK. Aw, he's beautiful. Ha ha! He's very hungry. I've taken up your morning. No problem. I enjoyed it. No, I should go. I'll leave a reference on the table. I can show myself out. Peyton? Would you like to have dinner with us tonight? Tonight? I'd love to. Good. Say around 6:30? I'll be here. . All right, so, this is Tim. 34-year-old male. RTC. Multi-vehicle... VOICES OVERLAP I think about the car crash a lot. I know he caused it and I reacted the best way possible. But it's hard to let it go. SOMBRE MUSIC When I asked what had happened to him, the doctors said he really wore the impact ` any more and things would've been much worse. They said he was lucky ` lucky I wasn't going any faster. Thank you. SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES It's OK. MUSIC CONTINUES It's OK. 1 I'm in charge of the salad dressing. And setting the table, sweetheart. Daddy will be home any minute. What does your husband do for a living? Michael's a genetic engineer for Biotechnic. Daddy is a mad scientist. (Horn honking) It's Daddy! Here, let me help. Thanks. Look at you! Mmm. Thank you very much. You helping mom out? Shh! Hi, sweetie. Shh! Why are you shushing`oh. Shh! Hiya, beautiful. Peyton, this is my husband Michael. Hi. # And I'm never, never sick at sea... # (Michael) I tell you, that was one great meal. Oh, it was delicious. I was in charge of the salad dressing. Yeah, that's right. She did. She made it all herself. # Then give three cheers and one cheer more # # for the captain... # When mom finishes the greenhouse, I'm in charge of the strawberries. Really? That sounds like an important job. It is. # And with you we're quite content # # You're exceedingly polite, # to return the compliment... # She seems terrific. What's the catch? There is no catch. I think she's great. I think we can get a year's commitment. Let's grab her, then? Yes. Yeah? OK. Oh, my God! (Baby crying) What? This was in his mouth. (Emma) Mommy's earring! It must have fallen out. He's OK. Sorry I frightened everybody. (Michael) Don't be silly. I'm glad you were in time. # And one cheer more for... # # the captain of the pinafore ## (Doorbell rings) Hi. Hi. This is for you. Thank you. You didn't have to do that. (Tinkling) Oh, that's very pretty. They say a wind chime helps a baby sleep. Why don't you get settled? Then we'll hang it up outside the nursery. OK. This is dark, but your room gets more light. This is, um... the laundry room. And this is your room. Oh, it's perfect. Like it? (Alarm clock beeping) (Wind chime tinkling) (Baby fussing softly) (Cries) Mom, we did it! Oh, boy! Let's see. Boy, Emma. You can certainly shovel. Thank you. Oh, how pretty. Yeah. It looks like your house. We put it out every year, and the martins come back. Who are the martins? Oh, they're large swallows, and the same family comes every year to visit us. Yeah... I would come back, too. That's a beautiful bracelet, Claire. It's from an antique show. You could borrow it anytime. Well, thank you. This must be a special occasion. I always feel sexy and glamorous when I wear this. It's a present from Michael. OK, which shoes should I wear? Red or black? Are you wearing a jacket? Yeah. Well, no. Maybe not. I'd go with black. You think so? I guess you're right. (Doorbell rings) That's them. I'm really late. Hi. Where are you guys? We're running late. Where's Marlene? She's on the phone. Oh, damn. What is it? Well, it's just a stain. It's perfume oil. I must have had perfume oil on my hands. Don't move. I'll get some club soda. # Poor wandering one # # though thou has surely strayed... ## Marty, this is, uh, this is Peyton. Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm getting something for Claire. (Marty whistles) Maybe we should have kids. # Ah aah ah ah ah # # Fair days will shine... # Just want to inform everybody, this place won't hold our table. Hello, Marlene. What's with you? What do you mean? Nothing's with me. # Take mi-i-i-i- i-i-i-i-i... ## Nothing, my ass. Hi. We haven't met. I'm Marlene Craven. You must be Peyton. Hello, yes. Nice to meet you. Poison. Excuse me? You're wearing Claire's perfume` Poison. Oh. Well, Claire needs me upstairs. You look great. That's not funny? No. # O dry the glistening... ## (Marlene) That's not true. There she is. Hi. Hi. Sorry. (Marlene) Hi. You look great. I thought you would wear that dress I bought you. Something wrong with this one? No! I just` Boy, you look good. (Marlene) You look beautiful. (Claire) Let's go. Bye. You have our number? Yeah, I do. Have fun. Bye. Go. (Television) Aah ha ha! Zombie. The Living Dead. (Emma) This is great. Mom never lets me watch these movies. (Peyton) That's why we have to keep it secret. Do you know what a secret is? It's something you can't tell anybody, no matter what. That's right. Now we have a secret club. That's our sign. I liked meeting Aunt Marlene and Uncle Marty. Have they known your mom and dad long? Aunt Marlene grew up with daddy. They were boyfriend and girlfriend when they were little. Is that right? Do you have any boyfriends? No. I hate boys. You do? If I tell you something, will you promise not to tell anybody? I promise. Secret club. Well, this mean kid at school, Roth, he's been really mean to me, but he said if I told, I'd be dead meat. He said that to you? Did your mother do anything about it? She tried, but she couldn't help. Never let an attractive woman take a power position in your home. A power position? What's that, um`oh, you know, what's that saying? "The hand where the baby"` How much did you get for the Fletcher house? Three. And change. All I'm saying is to watch your back. I'm serious! There's too much pressure. A woman can feel worthless if she doesn't make $50,000 and make time for sex and lasagne. Marlene's not much of a cook. Marlene, I think I'll bum one of these. You're a bad influence. He only smokes around you now. One won't kill me. Wait! I got it. "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Look at the baby. Aww. Look. Hi. Aww. Look, honey. Boy or girl? Boy. His name is Joe. Oh. How old? 3 months. Ohh. He is beautiful. Thank you. He has your eyes. You really think so? Oh, absolutely! Do you have any other children? Yes. He has a sister. Her name's Emma. She looks more like her father, though. Oh. We have one more, too, don't we, sweetheart? Hi, Emma. Tell me, which one is he? Where? Take that! With the blue and grey striped shirt? Mm-hmm. OK. Cha! Cha! Watch it, shrimpy! Ouch! My arm! Ow! Ow! I've got a message for you. OK. You leave Emma alone. If you don't, I'll rip your head off! Ow! I get it. Let me go! Don't forget it. Awesome! Wow. That was cool! Ah ha ha ha ha! Secret club. 1 Good morning. (Fussing) What's the matter? You're not hungry, sweetheart? Shh. Claire, I thought you'd like coffee. Oh, thanks. Peyton? Yeah? Have you noticed anything different about Joe? No. No, I haven't. Why? Is something wrong? No. I was just wondering. I'm real tired. I got up at 4:30 and helped type Michael's proposal. I hope it works out. Good morning. Good morning. You're not having pancakes? I'm going to federal express first. Let me. You shouldn't worry about that today. My proposal has to go out today. OK. Thanks. I love you. Bye-bye. Bye, Michael. (Peyton) Have you volunteered long? Oh, about seven years. These days, I mainly take care of the morning maintenance. Hi, Claire. Hi, Stan. It's like a botanist family, right, Stan? Yep. We sit around talking about root rot and drainage properties of shredded bark and other fascinating topics like that. Is your greenhouse going to be like this one? Hopefully. On a much smaller scale, though. I've always loved growing anything. My parents thought I was crazy, that I should have been born on a farm. (Cries) Hey. Ohh. Hello. Hello. Do you have relatives in Seattle? Oh, no. No, I don't. My husband was my only family. He's the only one who ever... really understood me. He took care of me. He was murdered. Murdered? They never caught who did it. But I firmly believe, what goes around comes around. Is there a bathroom here? Yeah. Right through there on the right side. I'll be right back. (Peyton) Do you need to be changed? (Wheezing) Come here. (Wheezing) Michael's proposal. I can't find it. But it was in your purse! Claire, are you all right? Asthma. I'll be OK. Asthma. Michael, it's just disappeared. I've retraced all my steps. The restaurant manager from where we ate lunch will call. What did they say again? They said they'd consider it next quarter. But they said they'd consider it. Claire, come on. We've been over this. Look. Everything is going to be OK. Michael, I'm so sorry. I know you are, honey. I know you are. Maybe I left it at the botanicals. I'm getting back to work, OK? I'm sorry. (Crying) Michael, I'm worried about Joe. Why? What's wrong? Well, it's his eating habits. He's just not nursing like he used to. How long has this been going on? Not all the time, but`a couple weeks. Did you call the doctor? She said it's fine as long as he keeps gaining weight. Well...I'm sure he's fine, honey. OK. Someone named Peyton's here to see you. She's in your office. She's our nanny, Gilbert. Uh-huh. OK. Let me in on where you hire from. Hi. Shh! He's out cold. I'm sorry to bother you. I wanted to talk in private. Everything all right? Everything's OK. I just had an idea. Claire's birthday's coming up, and I thought it'd be nice to throw a surprise party. She's been feeling low lately, especially because of your proposal. That's a good idea. Yeah? Yeah. Well, do you think Marlene would want to help out? Help out? Are you kidding? She'll take over. It's best not to tell her it was my idea. Why not? I wouldn't want her to think I was competitive about Claire's friendship. I think you understand Marlene pretty well already. Well, uh... good. So I'll be going. OK, good. Yeah, I'm real glad you came by. Bye. Bye. Oh! Solomon! I want to show you my sculpture. Uh... OK. Is that the head, or is that the foot? No. That's part of the fur. Oh! Oh, yeah, I`I see. That's a piece of art. I knew you'd see it. Hi, Emma. Hi, Peyton. Hi, Solomon. Emma, why don't you go on inside? I've got to talk to Solomon. Are you a retard? No. Did you like looking at me? Did you like looking at me? Don't fuck with me, retard. My version of the story will be better than yours. I won't let you hurt them. They're my friends. I won't let you hurt them. Oh, boy. 1 Solomon. Step inside for a minute. OK. Surprise! Surprise! It's for you, big guy. I was in charge of picking it out. Ohh... You're my friends. Oh, my... Oh! You should have seen his face. Emma just adores him. Claire, something's been bothering me, but I feel a little awkward bringing it up. I've been noticing some behaviour that I... I feel might be inappropriate. What do you mean` inappropriate? Something about the way he touches her. I'm sure you must have misunderstood. You're right. Solomon would never do that. Besides, it would be obvious if Emma were keeping a secret. I'm sorry. Oh, no, please. It's OK. (Solomon) He's coming around! Whoa! Whoo! I love you very much, sweetheart. If anything happened, good or bad, you can tell me, and I would love you just as much. Do you know that? Yes. We shouldn't have any secrets, Emma. Secrets between people who love each other aren't good. What's the matter, baby? Nothing. You don't have to say. Why can't I see through this glass? It's fibreglass, honey. We put real glass in the ceiling to let the sunlight through. This lets air in so the greenhouse doesn't get too hot. Claire, Joe's intercom conked out, and I couldn't find any batteries in the kitchen. Do you think Solomon's got some in his cart? Well, he's got everything else. I'll go look. (Shouting) Sweetheart, come away from the window, honey. Emma. Come and sit down. Peyton. (Crying) (Crying) But I don't understand. Why'd they take Solomon away? I guess your mommy didn't like Solomon. I wanted to help Solomon, but I was afraid she'd send me away. I hate her. I bet your mommy wasn't mean like mine. I didn't have a mommy. She died when I was very little. Your mommy died? Then who took care of you? I had to take care of myself. Peyton, if something happens to my mommy, would you take care of me? Of course I would, and your daddy, too. I'd take care of all of you. Last of the boxes. Yeah. (Sighing) Emma's going to be OK. She's so different around me lately. She's not my little girl. She's so angry. And guarded. Maybe she blames me because I didn't protect her. I don't think so, Claire. Shh! Marlene wants to get together tonight to make a guest list. I'm not sure this party's a good idea now. I think we should go ahead. Everyone could use some cheering up, especially Claire. She's been blaming herself. Yeah...I think you're right. I guess I just needed to hear it. (Joe babbles) (Marlene) Thanks for lunch. I especially liked picking up the fertiliser. I thought you would. Hi, you two. Oh, can I take him? Oh, sure. Hi, sweetheart. Hello. Oh, let me help. He's getting so big. (Joe crying) He's a different kid every time I see him. He's got great lungs, doesn't he? Oh, what's the matter? Do you want to go to Mommy? Oh, what happened? Ohh... Shh. I don't know what got into him today. Want me to try? Want to go to Peyton? Oh, it's OK. Yeah. Yeah, it's OK, little one. Yeah. (Wind chimes) What is that annoying noise? Wind chimes, a gift from Peyton. Charming. Well, I got to go. Bye-bye. Thanks for lunch. (Speaking quietly) Marlene. Peyton's making one of her famous chocolate souffles. Stop by for dessert. I can't make it. I'm showing the Fletcher house. You sold the Fletcher house. Actually, I did, but the financing fell through. I have to start over. Bye. I'll call you. OK. 1 It smells great. You know what they say. Chocolate's a substitute for sex. Chocolate's great, but I don't know about that. I guess you and Michael keep those old fires burning all the time. Well, we certainly have enjoyed each other. When we first moved into this house, we christened every room. Ha ha! Really? Yeah. Well, you know. When you have a baby, you start to feel tired and unattractive and fat. Ha ha! Oh. I'm sure Michael is as attracted to you as ever. A man never loses it for his first love. But I wasn't Michael's first love. No? You'll never guess who was. Marlene? Am I right? Yeah. How'd you know that? Wild guess. You know, it's a shame Michael's not here. He's going to miss it. What's he doing so late at the lab, anyway? That's a good question. I'll give him a call. Randy and Cece. Dave and Lorita. And the Harrisons. Oh, come on. They always invite us, Marlene. You got a light? Can't find my lighter. Marty's going to throw a fit. I'm still not sold on this whole surprise party thing. Because of Emma? And Claire. She just hasn't been herself lately. How's Peyton doing? Oh, boy. Peyton's been great. Has she? I don't know what we'd do without her. (Footsteps) Hi, sweetie. Hi. How was your night? Fine. Yeah? Michael, I called the lab. There was no answer. I was in a room without a phone. Honey, come on. I didn't mean to frighten you. Have you been smoking? No. A tech was. It's in my hair. You never let anybody smoke at the lab. Is this an interrogation? Well? Well, what? It's been a long day. I just want to sleep. (Banging) I`I heard something. I dropped something. Oh. Well, good night. Can I fix you something? No, thanks. I` Are you sure? I'm sure. Good night. Good night. Your mom and I wanted to talk to you. The Better Way Society is putting Solomon back to work. Better Day! Sorry. We just want you to tell us if you see him around school or the house. Sweetheart, you don't have to be afraid, OK? I'm not afraid of Solomon. Peyton, wait for me! Peyton! Mrs Bartel. Hi. Three pants, a dress, one shirt. Light starch? Yeah, and this jacket here kind of smells of cigarette smoke. I didn't know your husband smoked. He doesn't. Well, what's this? Your husband's got a habit he's hiding. Mommy, what's wrong? Mom, let's go inside. Emma, go upstairs to your room and play. But, Mom... Emma, please. Go upstairs. Claire. Honey, what's the matter? Michael... how could you do this? What are you talking about? You've been lying to me. Honey, just calm down. Don't tell me to calm down! Honey, you don't understand. You've been fucking Marlene! That's enough! There are people in there. What are you talking about? I'm talking about a surprise party. Oh, my God. Everybody's in there. Surprise. Surprise! 1 (Babbling) Did you speak to Marlene yet? No. I...I can't seem to face her. Michael, I can't go on like this any more. I can't say I'm sorry any more than I already have. I can't go on like this any more, either. (Crying) (On baby monitor) I was thinking... maybe we could go away for a few days. You mean Peyton and the kids or just us? No. I was thinking just the family without Peyton. I thought you liked having Peyton around. I do. Sometimes I don't. You sound like you're turning on her. It's just, you know, so many things have gone wrong since she's been here. Are you saying those things are Peyton's fault? No... I don't know. I just don't feel like myself. Claire, come on. Peyton's come through for us in some very tough times. I know. We'll talk about it when we go away. (Music playing) (Music stops) And if there are any further services that I or my staff might provide, please don't hesitate to call. Blah, blah, blah. These are all I found in the Magnolia District in that price range. East Wind, Hobart... most of these are old. So they still haven't unloaded the good doctor's house. What are you waiting for ` a tip? Cancel my morning. What about Lambert? Make something up. You've got a Harvard education. (Joe coos) Hi, sweetheart. I'll be back in a while. You're not working here? I'm going to the botanicals to pick up seedlings. I won't be long. Fuckin' A. (TELEPHONE RINGS) Hello. Let me speak to Claire. May I ask who's calling? Marlene Craven. You want me to spell it? Uh, Claire's not here, Marlene. I'll tell her you called. Sure you will. What is this` a parade? Let's go! (Honking horn) I didn't know you were here. Someone named Marlene called. Said it's important. Oh, OK, thanks. Hello, Marlene. Claire? It's Marlene. Claire? Marlene, is everything all right? No. I need a doctor. Know of any, Mrs Mott? Where's Claire? Marlene...please. Where is she? She's in the greenhouse. Please, Marlene. Please don't go out there. Claire! This is important! It has nothing to do with the party. Claire? Claire? (Dog barking in distance) (Humming) This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none. (Gasping) (Wheezing) (Glass breaks) (Wheezing) 911 emergency. (Gasping incoherently) What is your emergency? What is the nature of your emergency? (Gasping) (Gasping) (Sirens) 1 (Ambulance radio) Notify Harbour View Medical. Respiratory arrest. Asthmatic patient... Here's the O2. This isn't going to work. Forget the oxygen. Give me my laryngoscope and a number-five line. My God. What happened? Miss, stay back. Paramedics are with her now. What happened to her? Everything's going to be fine. She's a friend of yours? She...she has trouble breathing. She has asthma. I'm sure the paramedics have everything under control. Hey, Al, come take a look over here. It's OK, Joe. It's OK. (Machine beeping) Claire? Honey, can you hear me? You're safe now. You're in a hospital. Just try and rest, OK? (Siren) Michael. I keep seeing Marlene's face. I can't believe she's gone. Come inside. That's better. You're soaked, soaked through. Peyton... There's only one woman for me. That's all you need. Thanks. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Could someone hold the door for me, please? (Michael) You OK? Fine. Emma? Fasten your seat belt, sweetheart. I got it. Hi, Peyton. Hi, Emma. Hello, Claire. It's good to have you home. It's good to be home. Michael, the school board secretary called. The meeting's Thursday. I wrote it in your book. OK, great. Thanks. It's a fund-raiser thing. Peyton heard about it. Oh, you said I could borrow it. Is it all right? Oh, yeah. I'll be right back. I don't want to burn dinner. It's great to have you back. (Wind chimes) Do you like it? Peyton did it. Someone could have asked me first. We thought we'd surprise you. We thought you'd like it. If you don't, she'll take it down. It's OK. All right. Well, I'll put your things away. (Gilbert and Sullivan music playing) (Michael) Do you have any sevens? Go fish. Oh, look what I took. Huh? Do you have a six? Go fish. (Laughing) Keep your cards up here so Peyton can't see them. So you can't see them. Yeah... That's right. There we go. Did she tell you where she was going? No. She just took off. Said to cancel her morning. What was she doing before she left? I'd just given her listings she'd asked for. She looked at them. A minute later, she hurried out. Listings? These? Those are the ones. Mrs Harris? I'm glad you made it. Bruce Silverman. Windermere Realty. Oh. Care to take a look inside? Yeah. I'm glad you made it. I was leaving. The house was custom-built three years ago. It's listed well below market value. They're very motivated. May I? Of course. The original owners lived here a very short time. New carpet throughout. Uh, there is a nursery? A perfect room for kids. That's a strange-looking toy. What is it? It's a breast pump. Breast pump? She used it to keep her milk up. (Tyres squealing) 1 Where could she be so long? Here she is. Honey, where have you been? I've got to tell` Hi, Claire. We were worried about you. Claire, my God. She's Dr Mott's widow, Michael. She's what? Get out of our house. She's turning on me, Michael, just like you said. She doesn't realise how I've come through for you. You have to tell her, Michael. Tell her about us. There's nothing to tell. You should leave, Peyton. Michael, what are you saying? You told me there was only one woman for you. I meant Claire, my wife. OK, fine. I'll just get my baby, and we'll go. I`I meant, I'll just go get my things. Michael. You don't understand. I mean leave now. We'll send your things. You're right, Michael. That's best. Peyton, the keys. Oh...of course. I'm sorry. You've all been so kind. Mommy, Daddy, what's happening? Emma, stay there! (Peyton) It's OK, Emma. Mommy and Daddy want me to leave. Good-bye, Peyton. (Emma) Peyton! (Claire) Call the police. Claire, calm down. Michael, you don't know what she's capable of! We have her keys. I think she rigged the greenhouse for me! All right, get the kids' things. We'll go to a hotel. Go upstairs, sweetheart. Can you get someone over here right away? It's not an emergency situation? Well, no. I'll have a car over as soon as I can. All right. We live at 808 Yakima. Emma, sweetheart, we're going away for a few days, OK? You can bring dolly with you. (Music playing) Peyton? Peyton? (Turns off music) (Alarm clock beeping) Uh! Ah! Michael? Daddy? Emma, lock this door behind me, and don't open it until I come back. Do you understand? Stay here. Michael? Oh! Claire. Oh! Michael. I'm OK. She's in the house, Claire. I`I can't move. My legs are broken. I'll get the kids. Call the police, Claire. (Door creaks) Mommy? (Ringing) 911. What is your emergency? Hello. Yeah. Yes. We need help... Mommy! This is MY family! This is MY family. It's OK, Emma. Mommy's here. I'll take you and Joe, and we'll have a real family now. You'll never have to see those people again. So tell your mommy` where's Joe? Huh? Where is he? He's in there. You're not my mommy! Emma! (Joe crying) (Pounding) Shh! Quiet. (Peyton) Emma? Emma! Emma? You're being very bad, Emma. (Baby crying) (Baby crying) (Crying gets louder) (Muffled crying) You. Give him over. No. No. Give me my baby, or I'll bash your skull in! Peyton! It's MY family, Peyton. Don't hurt my mommy! (Gasping for breath) Something the matter, Claire? When your husband makes love to you, it's my face he sees. When your baby's hungry, it's my breast that feeds him. Look at you. When push comes to shove... you can't even breathe. (Gasping) (Stops gasping) Give him to me. No. Uhh! Oh! No. No! (Joe babbling) Oh, Solomon. He`he's OK. I`I didn't hurt him. I know. OK? I know. Shh... Emma. Emma, it's OK. It's OK. Come on. Come on. Up we go. Mommy! Oh. Let's go down to Daddy, OK? Solomon, I need you to do something for me. I need you to take Joey downstairs. Oh, no...I'm not supposed to handle a baby. That's OK. I trust you, Solomon. It's OK? OK? Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. (Sirens) Come on, sweetheart. Let's go down and get Daddy. Little baby. Oh. Solomon. Come on. Oh, boy.
