Girls
make mistakes when they're stupid.
You have to fight temptations.
Your mother couldn't resist, and that's why she couldn't
look after you when your father died.
My mother loves me.
And I love you too, dear.
That's why I've always tried to teach you
the difference between right and wrong.
What do I always tell you to remember?
Answer me.
"Follow temptation and you deserve what you get."
Mom's here!
♪ Whispering, hear my song ♪ - Mom!
I couldn't wait for you to come!
Oh, God, you silly girl!
Look at you! Grrr!
What's wrong?
Do I look OK?
No, you look fabulous, Sadie. Isn't this the same dress
you wore last time I came? - No, Mom.
Hello, Theresa.
Hi, Elana. - Please, come in.
Can you believe it will be almost 10 years next month
since we lost Kyle?
Mommy, remind me how old Daddy was in that picture again?
About 26.
He was 3 years older than I was.
He'll always be my baby.
I said it before and I'll say it again: I think
taking her is a mistake!
You have been amazing, and I am very grateful for that,
but I am her mother, and it is time for her to come live with me.
It really is. - You are 3 years sober,
and suddenly you know what's good
for a child that I've spent the last 10 years
of my life raising? Hoho! That is convenient.
Oh, it is not just about my sobriety!
I am running a successful business,
I am marrying a wonderful man; It is going to be
a very good home for her!
She has been my light
all these years since his accident.
I know that Sadie is your connection to Kyle...
but she's not leaving your life.
You can see her whenever you want. I know that this is gonna be hard for you;
It's gonna be hard for all of us,
but we can get through this together.
Don't ever forget,
she would have been in foster care if it hadn't been for me.
Are you still coming to visit in 2 weeks?
There's still a box in the basement.
I'd show you, but my knees won't make those stairs anymore.
That's OK. Can you show me where it is?
Uh, no, I... I don't really... - Sweetie, what's wrong?
Nothing, it's just I don't really like the basement.
It's, um, it's very scary.
I think she's just...
worried about Grandpa Warren's accident.
Oh! Honey, it's OK. I'll find it.
Sadie...
Ugh!
Don't you ever say anything bad about me
to your mother. It won't be long before she's sick of you anyway.
I'm never coming back here. Ever!
Sadie...
this will always be your home too no matter what.
You can come back whenever you want.
Grandma loves you and is really gonna miss you.
Thanks, Elana, for everything.
I'm so happy
I am finally coming to live with you, Mom.
I dreamed about it every night.
I was always planning on having you come live with me;
I just... I had to get well first.
You understand that, right?
Grandma said you weren't sick.
She said you just didn't want me.
That is absolutely not true.
Look, when your grandmother offered to take you,
I said yes, because I knew that was the best thing
at the time. - Now the best thing is to
live with you, Aaron, and Josh. - Yes, that's right.
Do you think Aaron will let me call him "Dad"?
Oh, that would make him so happy if you did that.
Hello! Anybody home?
Hi, sweetie. Welcome home,
Sadie. - Oh, what a nice surprise!
Thank you, Daddy! - You're welcome, Sadie.
Can I name him Wilbur?
Sure, you can call him Wilbur.
Tell you what, why don't you and Wilbur go check out your new room.
Ah! Wow!
You did so great with my room!
Oh, I love it!
Are these all mine? - Yeah,
they're all from my toy company. One of the perks of being a VP.
Where's Josh? - He's supposed to be here.
I'll go look for him.
Sadie, honey...
I have a question for you. Come here.
I was wondering if you would be my bridesmaid.
You... you mean
I get to be in your wedding?! - Mm-hmm.
We can go shopping, and you can pick out any dress you want.
Hey, guys!
Hey, Sadie.
What's up?
You have to bump it. - Oh... Right, right.
Hey, so, Josh, how about you go and check on the grill?
Yeah. - Thanks.
I've never had a big brother before.
I think we're gonna be best friends.
Uh, well, honey, Josh is at that age
where he kind of wants to do his own thing.
But I think you're gonna make lots of friends at school.
I think it would be a great idea
for you guys to hang out, maybe help to keep him out of trouble.
"Follow temptations, and you deserve what you get."
Sadie, where did you hear that?
Um... I don't know. I don't remember.
Let's get these on the grill. - Who got it?
This is the best burger I've ever had.
Well, thank you very much. I worked very hard
to grill these till they were just right.
I knew there was a reason I was keeping you around.
Josh, no phones at the table. You know that, buddy.
It's important. - Show some respect.
Would anyone like some more potato salad? - I'll get it.
Oh! - I am so sorry!
That's OK, honey.
I'm sorry, Dad. - She's calling you "Dad"?
We are a family, Josh.
I'm as much her dad as I am yours! Hey, where are you...?
I'm such a klutz.
I'll write him sorry a hundred times!
Write you're sorry?
Whenever I did something bad,
Grandma made me write it over and over,
so I'd remember not to do it again.
Well, that's not how we do things
around here, sweetie. No one gets mad over accidents, OK?
Yeah, that's right. It's OK, honey.
Here, finish your food.
I promise to be extra perfect
and not cause Mom any problems,
so I don't ruin her wedding.
Pinky promise.
Sadie, you ready for bed?
Sadie, what?!
What are you doing?!
You can't play with candles!
I'm sorry, it was an accident!
Where did you get this old lighter from?
Uh, uh, Grandma gave it to me.
OK, I'm gonna hold on to this.
I'm sorry. I'm-I'm-I'm so sorry!
Honey, it's OK. I just don't want you to get burned.
I'm messing everything up!
Honey. - Everyone was upset
at the dinner table! And when I split that milk, Josh left!
Honey, come here. Come here.
Come here, sweetie. Come here.
It's OK. It's OK, honey.
Sweetie, sweetie, Josh didn't leave the table
because of you.
Ever since Aaron and I decided to get married,
he's been having a really hard time with it.
He misses his mom.
Did... did his mom die
the same way that my real dad died?
In a motorcycle accident?
No. She had cancer.
You remember when I told you about that?
And she passed when Josh was just about the same age as you.
This whole transition has been really hard on him.
And just like it has been for you.
Don't worry, we're gonna get through this together.
Was my real dad like Aaron?
Your dad and I were very young when we met,
and neither of us were ready to be parents.
But I know that if he had met you,
he would have loved you very much.
Come on, Sadie!
No, Grandpa, please! I don't want to go down
in the dark again!
You know, Grandma says, "Bad girls get punished!"
You need some time down there alone
to think about why it's wrong
to play with my lighter.
Nah. No!
Come on down here now!
No, Grandpa! I'm afraid!
Ugh! Sadie... Ugh!
Sadie? Sadie?
Sadie, tell me what's wrong. What's wrong, honey?
Did you have a nightmare? - Yeah!
It was horrible!
It's OK. It's OK.
I'm here with you right now. It's OK. It's OK.
Shhh...
##- The house feels empty,
like Sadie was never here.
Theresa hasn't told me, but I'm worried
she's gonna keep Sadie away from me.
I don't care what she says;
Her actions speak volumes.
You do the hard work raising Sadie,
and she takes her away without any consideration.
I told Kyle not to get involved with her.
She was far too young.
But he didn't listen...
and she got pregnant.
Well, but at least, you're blessed with a grandchild.
Hmm...
Kyle wasn't ready to be a daddy.
He just wanted to party and be out all night.
And the drugs... And the accident...
I barely had enough money to pay for Kyle's funeral.
And now Sadie living with me?
You think about how much you've spent over the years,
and she never offered you anything in return?
Well, she couldn't.
She was in and out of rehab trying to get sober.
Exactly. Now, she's got that great, big house
and the hair salon... Think about it.
She owes you a lot for what you did.
Sadie, breakfast is ready!
Good morning! - There you are!
You ready to go dress shopping? - Yep!
♪ Jamba smoothies are cooling down the heat ♪
♪ Fire up the jams, now we're going all the way ♪
♪ We won't know till we see it on the rack ♪
♪ Wait, girl, turn around ♪
♪ You look good in that ♪
Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no, no!
Whoa! - Out! It's bad luck to see
the dress before wedding day. - No, I'm not supposed
to see you in the dress, but I'd really like to see you
in nothing at all.
No. Go and shower. - OK, fine.
How was your girly day? - It was amazing.
Sadie is such an angel. I bought her some cookies,
and she ended up giving them to a homeless man.
Aw! Just like her mom.
Go. - I'm going!
Do not look. - I'm not looking.
Stop! Grrr!
What are you doing here? Look, girls are supposed
to be in bed. - I saw you.
You were drinking alcohol!
Shh! Shut the hell up, OK? They'll hear you.
Chill, OK? - I'm telling Mom!
Listen.
You can't tell anybody, OK? It'll be our secret.
Mom! Dad! - Sweetie, what is it?
Josh is in the backyard and he's drinking alcohol!
He's gonna get sick; Make him stop!
I'll go get him. - It's OK, honey, Daddy's gonna go talk to him.
Sweetie, it's OK.
I don't want him to have the same sickness you had.
The one that made you leave me with Grandma!
Oh, honey. Oh, honey, is that...
God, it's OK. He's not gonna...
Hi. - Hi. Morning, Sadie.
Are you all ready for your first day? - Yeah.
OK, well, have fun in there.
Have a good day, honey.
I will, Mom. - I'll pick you up here right after school.
Alright.
First days can be tough.
Especially on the parents, not the children.
I just want her to fit in
and be happy. - She's in good hands.
Ms. Goldin is an excellent teacher.
Thanks again for all your help
with Sadie's transition.
Are you sure that meeting only once a week will be enough?
If she needs more counseling, I'm there.
Let's just see how she adjusts first.
Did you talk to your husband about hiring a math tutor?
I did, and he thinks it's a great idea,
so we're gonna try to find someone this week.
Great. Call me if you have any concerns.
I will. Thank you. - Take care.
I want you
to write about what you did this summer.
Then, we'll go around the room, and we'll share.
Hey, Alliree, do you have an extra pencil?
Wasn't asking you.
Here. Don't chew on it. I'm serious.
Yes, Sadie.
What if you didn't do anything this summer?
I'm sure there's something you can write about.
You just moved to a new town...
that's exciting. Why don't you write about that?
Hey,
what town are you from?
Are you deaf? - Adamville.
Never heard of it.
What school did you go to?
I didn't go to school. Grandma taught me from home.
That's weird. Where is your mom?
I know her mom. She's a hairdresser.
My mom goes to her salon to get her hair done.
Your mom cut your hair? She must suck
'cause your hair's pretty nasty. You should get your money back.
Don't you ever say anything bad about my mother!
I hope everyone's writing.
Leave me alone! - What's going on back there?!
Dylan! Alliree!
"Follow temptations and you deserve what you get."
You're weird. - OK. Please, stop that.
Enough. What happened here?
She hit me for no reason! - Sadie, is that what happened?
No! He tried to take my paper, but I didn't hit him!
That's a lie. I saw her do it.
OK, just stop.
Alright? Keep your eyes
on your own papers. Your hands to yourselves.
Do you like me now, Dylan?
Sadie! Sadie!
Sadie! What are you doing out here?
Am I in trouble? - You're not in tr...
I'm not angry with you;
I was just really concerned when I couldn't find you.
Right here! Over here!
Ow! - How was your first day?
Um... - Yeah, Mrs. Goldin told me
about those kids picking on you. I'm sorry about that.
Look, the next time it happens, just tell Mrs. Goldin
right away, OK?
Are we still going shopping for my wedding dress?
Your bridesmaid's dress? Yes!
And we're gonna find you a really pretty dress for the shower.
Don't let me forget to pick those invitations, OK?
I'll remember.
Who's that, Mom? - It's your grandma.
We don't have to answer it, do we?
Come on, let's go.
A perfect fit!
You are such a lovely, young lady.
So, what do you think? Do you like it?
Yeah. - Yeah? OK, we'll take it.
And then we need two matching dresses
for the bridal shower.
Ohhh, she's so pretty!
Who is it now, Mom?
It's your grandmother. She is really persistent, isn't she?
Don't worry, I'm not gonna take it.
What does she want?
Has she said anything about me?
No, why?
I never wanna go back to her house.
I already told you that's not gonna happen.
Why is she trying to ruin our time together?!
Your grandmother is upset with me
about things that happened before you were ever born.
This has nothing to do with you so don't worry.
She already had her time with you, and now it's my turn.
OK.
Is she OK? - I made her two cappuccinos and promised her a discount
on the highlights. - Thank you so much for doing that.
She can be a little picky. Uh, do you have a client right now?
Not for another hour. - Is there any way that you could watch Sadie?
Oh, no problem. - Thank you.
Is your daughter still tutoring? - Yes, she is.
Do you think she could help Sadie with her math?
Oh, I'm sure Lisa would love to do that.
Really? Thank you. Oh God, wish me luck.
OK.
How's our favourite girl?
Today was my first day of school.
I heard they put you with bigger kids because you're so smart.
How was it? - I made a lot of new friends.
Oh, that's great, honey.
Like your new haircut, Alliree?
Hello, Aaron.
Are the girls there?
I knocked, but there was no answer.
Yeah, they're at the salon. - Oh...
You're welcome to come inside and wait.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Hey, honey.
So, Elana is here.
She was sitting in her car when I pulled up.
How soon can you make it home?
She's bored.
Yeah, OK. Um... we'll leave right now.
Thank you. - Alright. Bye.
Honey, I'm so sorry,
but your grandma showed up, and we have to leave.
But you promised to cut my hair!
I know I did, but I promise to cut it later, OK?
Why won't she leave us alone?
Don't worry. I'm gonna tell her
that she can't stop by like this, alright?
Grab your stuff. Let's go.
You're home!
Now, Elana, why don't you let me top that up for you.
Oh, dear. Aww!
Oh, my beautiful granddaughter! Come.
Give me a hug.
Ooh! You know, she's actually feeling a little
under the weather. It might be best if she doesn't, just so
she doesn't spread any germs. - Ohhh, germs, nonsense!
Come.
Oh...
I have missed you so much!
I can tell she's getting sick of you already.
Honey...
Sadie, honey, why don't you help your dad with the drinks?
So, how have you been?
Lonely.
The house is empty without Sadie.
Oh, she was just such a part
of my everyday life.
It's hard to let her go after all these years.
I can imagine. It's been a big change for all of us.
Especially me. I'm the one that's basically being shut out.
You are not being shut out.
Ignoring my phone calls doesn't exactly
make me feel included. - You had...
You know what? Why don't we finish this discussion at the park.
Aaron has some work to do, and Josh has
some homework he should do. Does that sound fun
to you, Sadie? - Yeah.
I'll take this coffee to go.
Let me hurry and get that for you.
Mom, can I go explore? - Sure, honey.
We... we need to resolve something
that I'm worried about.
I think we should talk about some kind of compensation.
Compensation?
Yes.
You offered to take Sadie to keep her with the family.
Just something that's fair.
You are doing well.
I should get something for my troubles.
If you're having some financial troubles,
I'm sure Aaron and I could help out a little.
I deserve more than "a little help."
You got Sadie; What did I get?
I will discuss it with Aaron.
Grandma, come play hide and seek with me.
Not now. I'm talking to your mother.
It's OK. I think I've had enough.
I've got calls to make.
I can't believe she lets you run around
like some kind of animal. - Please come.
I want to tell you a secret about Aaron.
OK. Just a minute.
Oh, yeah. Oh, you're...
you're going a little too fast.
Sadie!
Sadie? You come out here now!
What were you gonna tell me about Aaron?
Find me and I'll tell you.
It's something he did when he thought
no one was watching. - Oh, oh...
Oh!
Sadie?
Where are you?!
Over here!
Come and get me!
I can't believe that she had the nerve
to ask me to be compensated for raising Sadie.
I almost told her to ride off on her broom.
Pfff!
WHERE ARE YOU?
Bad grandmas get punished too.
Hopefully not much longer.
Mom! Help, it's Grandma!
She fell down the hill and she's not moving!
Aaron, I'm gonna call you back.
She waited up for us.
Sadie, honey...
Sadie?
Hi.
What are you doing out here?
Where's your brother?
I don't know. Probably in his room. How's Grandma?
Sweetie, uh,
Grandma didn't survive the fall.
No! No!
Grandma's dead?
How can she be gone?
I was just playing in the park with her!
Oh, I know, honey. I'm so sorry.
I'm really gonna miss her. - I know you are.
She loved you very, very much.
I don't want to lose you too, Mommy.
Oh, you're never gonna lose me, promise.
I'm always gonna be here with you, OK?
I love you very, very much.
I love you so much.
Sweetie, it's late.
Why don't you go get in bed, and I'll come tuck you in, OK?
OK.
That's a lot for one little girl to have
to deal with.
It's horrible, I...
I mean, she's lost everyone that she's close to.
It's no wonder that she has this fear of abandonment.
It kills me not to be able to protect her.
All we can do is tell our kids that we're there for them...
and that we love 'em no matter what.

Thank you, Sadie, for your presentation.
Give her a round of applause.
Sadie, uh,
lighters aren't allowed in school, so I'm just gonna
keep it here until your mom can pick it up, OK?
OK. Thank you, thank you.
She's so weird.
OK...
That was so lame. Wait until you see my share on Monday.
You're a liar. That lighter isn't magic.
Where's your grandpa anyway?
He's dead. - We have about a minute or so,
so how about we go to recess early.
Really? - Thank you, Ms. Summer!
Slow down! Slow down, please!
Slow down. ##
"IPen."
See you! See you tomorrow!
Hey, sweetie! How was school today?
Good. Uh, Mom... Ms. Goldin wants
to talk to you.
I had no I-What are you doing this from me. To your skateboard?
Are you still mad at me?
I said that I was sorry.
What part of "don't talk to me" is hard to understand?
Hey! Are you Sadie?
Yes. Who are you?
I'm Lisa. I'm Mandy's daughter. I'm your new tutor.
Your mom said to drop by today and say hi.
So, what's the answer then?
2.4. - Yeah!
You're right.
Can I ask you a question?
Mm-hmm. - What's an IPen?
An IPen... Well, it's like a shot
that people who have really bad allergies keep with them.
Why? - Well, sometimes,
somebody can be so allergic to something
that it can kill them if they don't get medicine fast enough.
They die?! - It's called anaphylactic shock.
They can die really quickly, so they keep
the IPen with them. Their shot has medicine
in it that can save their life.
Ready to do fractions?
Yeah!
Can you tell my mom that I did good today?
Of course I will, because you did.
We've run out of time
a little, Dylan, so we'll have to do yours after recess.
Dylan, those are awesome. You got those on your trip to Japan?
Not as awesome as some crummy cigarette lighter, right?
This is my magical
cigarette lighter that I used
to light magical cigarettes.
She's too stupid to even know
what a cigarette is. - I know what a cigarette is!
OK, that's recess. Off you go.
Quiet, please!
Come on!
Hey, someone took my action figures!
Where are they? Who stole them?
Are you sure they're gone, Dylan?
They were in my desk before we went out for recess.
OK. Did anyone see Dylan's action figures?
No. - Sadie took them.
No, I didn't. - Don't go accusing anyone without any proof.
She's the only one who would take them! - OK, stop it.
Everyone, search your desks
and your bags for Dylan's action figures.
You too, Sadie.
Bye! See you later! - Bye!
How do you feel, Dylan?
Are you laughing now?
Sadie, come on!
We're meeting your dad at the bakery!
I really like this one, Mommy.
Really, the marzipan? That's my favourite.
What's it called? - Hahaha!
Marzipan. It's like a, um...
It's a sweet paste made from almonds.
Delicious!
Sorry! The meeting ran late,
and then the boss wanted to run the numbers, yadi yada.
So what did I miss? Have we got a favourite?
I think we have it narrowed down to three finalists.
One of which, you'll be happy to hear,
is chocolate. - Ooh, nice!
Although I'm happy with whatever you choose.
How about you, Sadie? Have you got a favourite?
Yeah, I like the one with marzipan.
What's marzipan?
It's a sweet paste made out of almonds.
How did you know that?
Here, you have to try this.
OK...
Mmm! Pretty good!
Yeah, come in.
How's it going? - Meh.
Alright, look, I need you to babysit.
With all the wedding stuff,
I thought it would be nice for Theresa and I
to go out for dinner tonight. And then on Saturday,
I gotta go into the office and she's got a client, so I'm gonna need you then too.
Do I have to? She's so annoying...
and kind of weird.
Weird how?
I don't know, just strange.
Pfff!
Look, bud,
it's a lot for her to adjust to.
And I mean she's really excited about having you as a big brother.
Would it kill you to play with her
or, I don't know, maybe take her for a bike ride or something.
You're kidding, right?
Alright, look.
You make an effort, I'll make it worth your while.
What are you doing? - Playing a video game, obviously.
You can play too if you want.
You realize this is the first time we went out together,
like, on a date in...
well, three months?
No way, that can't be. - Yeah. - Really?
Mm-hmm. - Wow!
Well, they say, "Good things come to those who wait."
Let's draw.
I'll draw a picture of you, and you can draw a picture of me.
You can draw if you want to,
but I'm about to make it to the next level.
God, this looks amazing! Hahaha!
So, I actually have a little present for you.
What's this? - Just open it.
Oh, my God!
They're beautiful! - I was inspired
when I saw your dress.
I thought maybe you could wear them on our wedding day.
Of course, I'll wear them.
But you didn't have to do this.
Ah, it's just a little wedding gift.
I love you, Josh. - Stop it!
Please, kiss me.
I'm not kissing your stupid doll!
Why can't you just be normal?
Look...
the only reason I'm hanging out with you is 'cause
I promised my dad. You and I are not gonna be friends.
We're more than friends; We're brother and sister.
Your mom is marrying my dad;
That doesn't make us brother and sister!
"Why can't you just be normal?"
You ruin everything!
And these are for our Miss Sadie.
Oh, my God!
She'll adore them.
I figured that way she can look just like her mom.
I thought I'd give them to her at the wedding shower.
You're amazing, you know that?
Ah. - No, really.
You're amazing.
Hold on, wait up!
I'm sure it was you! You're going to be so busted when
they kick you out of school. - Is that your action figure?
Sadie ruined it. You're going to jail! - They don't send babies
to jail. They'll probably send her to one of those schools
for bad kids where they lock you up, and you're... all
by... yourself. - Don't ignore me!
Where are the rest? I want them back right now!
Dylan!
What's going on back there?
Found it taped to my locker. I know she did it.
Look at her, she's crazy! - Please, stop.
OK? Just sit down.
OK. This is gonna stop.
Everyone, put your heads on your desks, eyes closed.
Someone took and destroyed.
Dylan's action figures.
I know whomever did it feels very bad.
So if you did it,
now is your chance... raise your hand.
I've asked Sadie about the situation with Dylan,
and she's very tight-lipped.
I suggest that you talk to her about it at home.
She might be willing to tell you more.
Not just about the action-figure mystery,
but about the dynamics with this boy.
OK. - Academically, Sadie's doing well.
Her math skills are already improved.
But it's the social aspect
that you're concerned with? - Yes.
Perhaps you could ask her
to bring some friends over for a play date or something.
That's a great idea. We-we'll do that.
Good. Alright, well, let's give it a little more time,
see how it goes. - In the meantime,
I'll talk to Sadie privately and ask,
if she took the figures, that she just return them.
OK. You know, we'll do that on our end as well.
Let's connect on Monday and compare notes.
Sadie, can I talk to you for a minute?
Honey, I know Dylan hasn't been very nice to you,
Why don't you just give him his figures back on Monday,
and you won't get into any trouble.
But I didn't take them.
It's never OK to take other people's things.
But right now, what's more important
is that he gets his figures back.
Look, I know you're a sweet girl.
I know you want to do the right thing.
So, bring the figures back on Monday,
and no one's gonna get punished for stealing.
Well, we all know
who took Dylan's action figures.
It was Sadie!
I knew it! - She's a thief!
Send her to jail for 10 years! - No, no, she's going somewhere
worse than jail.
She's going to a school for bad children!
And she's never coming back!
No! Please! I wanna be with my mom!
She needs me to be at her wedding! - Hahaha!
You're never gonna see your mother
again, Sadie!
You should have thought about that
before you did so many bad things!
What else did she do?
She killed her grandmother!
Please... - And she didn't help
when her grandfather fell down the stairs!
And she tattled on her brother!
And she lies about everything!
Please, I'm sorry! I try to be good!
I really do!
I just wanna be with my mom! That's all!
I promise I'll be good!
Too late!
Sadie, you OK, honey?
Bye. See you later. Come on!
We're taking our bikes, come on! Bye.
I'll carry this for you.
Uh, thank you, Sadie.
Just put on that front seat.
Thanks.
"3376, Woseby.
3376, Woseby." - Did you say something, Sadie?
No. Was I helpful today?
Yes. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Remember what I said about Dylan's action figures, OK?
Baby, honey!
Make sure to tell my mom that I was helpful today, OK?
Hey! Did you have fun today?
Yeah?
Here you go. - Thank you.
So, your dad and I
met with Ms. Goldin and Mrs. Fisher today.
You did? - Mmm-hmm. - About what?
We talked about how you're doing at school, and they said
that you have improved a lot with your studies already.
You can thank Lisa for that. - Haha. I will.
They also mentioned that they were concerned
with how some of the kids at school were treating you.
Everyone's nice now.
What about that boy Dylan? - He's nice too.
I feel bad for him; His actions figures got stolen.
Hmm... Really? Well, do you know who might have stolen them?
No. But maybe Dad can get him some new ones,
from his work. It would be nice to surprise Dylan with that.
You are absolutely the sweetest.
I'll check with him and see what he can do.
And I'm gonna let Ms. Goldin know that you said that on Monday.
You're meeting with her on Monday again?
Mm-hmm. Just to touch base.
Oh.
Bye, guys!
Hi. What are you doing here?
I have Dylan's action figures.
I wanted to bring them to you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Sadie, that's the right thing to do.
How do you know where I live?
From Miss Fisher.
I asked her what I should do,
and she said to bring them to you this weekend, like you said.
Mrs. Fisher gave you my address?
I also got you a present... to say sorry.
You didn't have to do that.
Um, can I talk to you about something?
Something...
secret.
Sure.
Does your mother know that you're here?
No.
I can't tell her what I want to tell you.
OK.
This is for you.
It's my favourite cake, so I got you a piece.
Thank you, that's very sweet.
Did you get me a gift because you thought you were getting into trouble?
No. My grandma always used to say,
"If I have to talk about something bad,"
who not talk it over something sweet?
OK.
I will get us two forks.
Here you go.
So... what is it you want to tell me?
Well, it's about my grandpa who died.
The one with the lighter?
He was really mean.
Mean in what way?
This is really good cake, huh?
Mm-hmm.
How was he mean?
Did he ever hit you? - All the time.
And he used to always lock me up in the basement.
Sorry...
woman:
Hello? Yes.
My teacher needs help.
She ate some cake with nuts in it,
and she's having anaphylactic shock.
And I think she's going to die.
They're coming right away.
I can't let you kick me out of school.
Ms. Goldin?
Our ball went over your fence again.
Can I come get it?
What? Wait.
Where the hell were you? - At my friend's house.
You can't just leave without telling me. I'm supposed to be watching you.
Then you should have seen me leave, right?
Sadie!
I just wanted to make sure
my dress looked perfect for the shower tomorrow.
It looks very nice.
Sweetie, did you
leave today without telling Joshua where you were going?
Yes. I was at my friend's house.
Well, you can't do that.
It's Josh's responsibility to make sure you're safe
when he's watching you. - I'm sorry. It was my fault.
Please don't be mad at him.
Who is this friend you went to see?
Samantha from school. - You haven't mentioned her before.
You went to her house?
And were her parents home? - Her dad was.
OK.
Well, next time, let us know before you go somewhere, OK?
OK.
Alright. Change before the dress gets dirty.
Well, it's my fault for thinking that, you know, he's responsible enough to babysit.
Well, she shouldn't have gone out in the first place,
but I'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen again.
And at least, she made a friend, right?
That's terrific. Samantha?
Mm-hmm. - There you go,
I knew it was just a matter of time.
Do you like your hair, honey?
It's so pretty, Mom!
Ready for lip gloss?
Alright. Kissy face.
Hmmm...
Pucker up. Pucker up.
Josh, I left my lip gloss on Sadie's bed;
Would you mind grabbing it for me?
Yep! - Thanks.
It's creepy.
And I have a special shower gift
for Sadie as well. - Earrings!
And they match the ones your mom's gonna wear at the wedding.
Thank you, Daddy, I love them!
I love you, Dad. - I love you too, baby girl.
Let me see those, honey.
Hi! Hahaha!
Alliree, oh,
you look so beautiful!
Wow!
Well, go in and help yourself to some cupcakes.
Yummy! My favourite desserts! - Don't touch them!
They're for the guests. You weren't invited!
Leave right now. - Hmm... if you haven't checked,
my mom's friends with your mom, so I'm a guest.
But did you bring any of Dylan's action figures
to play with? I know how much you like them.
This is my party, and I told you leave!
Hey, why did you toss
all the cupcakes on the floor? - I hate her!
Please, make Alliree leave! - Tell me what happened.
She makes fun of me at school. This is my special day, and I don't want her to ruin it.
Make her go home, NOW! - Sadie, whoa, calm down.
No!
Listen, I can't ask her to leave.
Your mom invited Alliree and her mother to this party.
But it's still your day, OK? Everyone is here for you,
not for her.
You don't want to make a scene and embarrass yourself, do you?
I wanted this day to be perfect.
I know you did, and it's going to be.
You just have to decide that you're going to ignore Alliree
and enjoy the party.
Can you do that for me?
Atta girl.
Tell you what, why don't you go and get your mom a lemonade.
I bet she'd really like that. - OK.
What happened?
She's upset that some girl from her class is here.
Really? Well, she mentioned
that some of the kids aren't very nice to her at school.
She talks to you about that? - Briefly.
Has she ever mentioned a Samantha?
No. Why?
It's just that she took off yesterday,
without telling anyone, to go to this girl's house,
so Theresa and I are just kind of curious about her.
That must have been where she was going yesterday
when I saw her riding her bike.
I wondered why she was over by the Riverton Boys' Club.
She was over on Arlington? - Yeah, I know.
It's like 3 miles from your house.
There's a park over there, so I figured
that one of you was with her. - No.
We're just really lucky nothing bad happened.
Thanks.
So I mean, I get why she was upset
about having Alliree there. - Yeah.
But my bigger concern is the fact that she was
all the way over on Arlington.
It's just really hard not to be disappointed in Josh.
Oh, believe me, I am.
And I just assumed that because she knew this girl
from school that they would live in the same district.
Oh, what? You mean Arlington is not?
No. Arlington feeds over into Addison Elementary.
So...
I'm exhausted. - Hmm...
Thank you for the fun night. - Thank you.
I'm gonna go to bed; You coming?
Hmm. I'm gonna wait for Josh. I think
his pal's gonna be dropping him off real soon. - OK. Goodnight.
Love you. - Love you.
Hey! How was the movie?
Not bad, not great.
Thanks for paying. - No sweat.
So, hmm... I didn't want to say
anything at the shower earlier 'cause it didn't seem
like the right time. - Oh yeah, what's that?
It's about Sadie.
When I was in her room earlier...
Whoa! When you were in her room?
I wasn't snooping. It was when Theresa asked me to get
that lipstick.
I saw her sketchbook,
and she had a drawing of a guy
hanging from a tree by his neck.
And then the word "Dylan" underneath.
"Dylan." I think
that's the boy she's been having trouble with at school.
I don't know who it is, but trust me,
the drawing... was kind of spooky.
OK. I'll look into it.
Hey, this isn't you trying to get back at her 'cause
she got you in trouble, is it? - I swear on my life, it's not.
Just thought you should know.
Alright, thanks. Night.
Goodnight.
Purse, purse, purse,
purse, purse... Purse!
You're not going in today?
Working from home.
They're fumigating the office today.
Something about someone's assistant saw a spider.
Whatever.
Lucky you. Oh, if you're not going in,
do you want to come talk to Ms. Goldin with me
when I pick up Sadie? I should be done
with that hair show around, like, 3 o'clock.
Oh, I forgot you were doing that today. Yeah, sure.
Yeah? OK, great. Is it really 10 aft...? SADIE!
HURRY UP! I'M GONNA BE LATE! - No worries, babe,
I can take her to school. - Really?
Yeah, yeah. Hmm-hmm-hmm! - Thank you!
You're welcome.
## - Good morning!
Look at you all bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Never seen you so excited to go to school before.
I have a feeling that today is going to be a great day.
You and me both, kiddo.
Let's go!
Oh, pass me the pencil! - Here.
Ah, it's broken! Come on, this is joking around.
Where's Ms. Goldin?
Maybe she forgot to set her alarm clock.
Students... I have some bad news.
Ms. Goldin will not be coming back here to teach.
She passed away over the weekend.
What?!
We'll be sending a letter home to give to your parents,
and we have grief counselors here all day in case you want
to talk to someone about it. We have a substitute
coming in, but I'm gonna be teaching you until he arrives.
Any questions? Yes, Sadie.
How did she die?
We don't know yet. The police are still investigating.
Why would the police care? Was she murdered or something?
Ms. Goldin was murdered?! - No, no, no.
No, that doesn't mean someone killed her.
The police always investigates these types of deaths
because it's just standard procedure.
Alright?
Hey, babe.
Theresa:
No problem. Just call me when you're done.
I love you.
Yeah, OK.
No, I'm walking home. Want to walk home with me?
Alright, let's go.
Hi. - Hi.
You heard the news?
It's terrible.
Have they got any idea what happened?
Unofficially, they think it was an allergic reaction,
but they're not sure what.
They're waiting for the autopsy. - It's awful.
Yeah. - And so she lived alone?
Yeah. I guess one of the coaches
from the Riverton Club found her when he jumped over a fence
to retrieve a ball or something.
Saw her through the window, called 9-1-1.
So the club on Arlington?
Yeah, why?
I'm sorry. Isn't there a girl in Sadie's class
who lives over there as well? A Samantha?
Samantha who?
Uh, I don't know the last name;
I just know she's in her class. - I don't think we even have
a Samantha that goes here. Certainly not one
in Sadie's class. Are you sure she met her here?
Maybe she met her at the park or something.
Hmm... Maybe.
So, that was pretty terrible news
about your teacher today, huh? - Yep.
So I guess a bunch of the other kids were pretty upset?
Yeah, some people cried, and everyone was all depressed.
And Samantha, did she cry?
Yeah, but I was a good friend and gave her a hug.
Well, that was nice of you.
##So, what's Samantha's last name?
I don't know.
She's your friend, and you don't know her last name?
No.
So what's her address?
I don't know.
Well, you must know 'cause you rode her bike over to her house.
Why are you asking me so many questions about her? - Hey, I'm always
gonna be interested in who your friends are and where they live.
Can we go home now?
My tummy hurts.
We need to talk.
Ugh, I can't right now.
I feel like I'm dying.
Where's Mom? - Her show ran late,
she'll be home soon. In the meantime,
you and I are gonna have an open and honest chat, OK?
Now you know...
you can tell me anything, right?
I mean, absolutely anything.
I know.
So where were you on Saturday
when your mom and I were working?
I told you! I was at my friend's house!
I know you weren't there. There's no Samantha.
I checked, there's no Samantha in your school!
You're checking up on me?! I knew it!
I knew I couldn't trust you! - Sadie!
This conversation isn't over! - YES, IT IS!
I HATE YOU! I WISH MY MOM NEVER MET YOU!
Sadie, open this door right now!
SHE WAS GOING TO SEND ME BACK!
Who?
Open the door, Sadie! - NOOOO!
Sadie?
AH!
I am NOT going
to a school for bad kids!
NO MATTER WHAT, AARON!
Ugh!
Hello? Yes.
My dad needs help. He hit his head on the counter and...
Hello? Yes!
My dad is really hurt, and he needs help!
Hello?
Sadie? Honey?
Is everything OK? Is Aaron there?
He-he's in the backyard talking to Josh!
Ah... - Sadie?
Sadie!
I thought you loved me! - Sadie, NO!
GIVE IT TO ME! AH!
You can't take me away from my mommy!
No one can! - Sadie.
Sadie? Sadie? Sadie!
He wants to send me away!
I can't let him do that!
Don't let him, Mommy! - Sadie, Sadie,
put the knife down. - It's not fair!
I tried. I tried so hard to be nice to them,
but it doesn't matter! They hate me!
They all hate me! - Who hates you, honey?
Who ha... - He does! He says I lied!
The day her teacher died, Lisa, she saw her over near her house.
Lisa's lying too! - Did you
go to Ms. Goldin's house? - No!
Why did Lisa say you did? - Stop asking questions
about Ms. Goldin! - Why, honey?
Why don't you want to talk about Ms. Goldin?
She hated me too! She was gonna have me
kicked out of school for stealing Dylan's toys!
Did you go to Ms. Goldin's house?
No. I, I mean, I mean, yes.
But only because I wanted to give her something!
Sadie, what happened? - It wasn't my fault!
She ate some cake and she got sick!
You have to listen to me!
She was gonna ruin everything!
Honey... honey, put the knife down.
What was she gonna ruin? - She was gonna say
terrible things about me, and you would send me to jail
or some place for bad kids! - Why would you say that?
Because Grandma said it! She said you'd get sick of me
and send me back!
No. No. - What did you do to Grandma?
You shut up, Aaron! - Honey, honey, please, please put the knife down.
Honey, what happened to Grandma before she fell?
Nothing!
We-we were just standing there, and she just fell!
Did you push her? - It was an accident too!
I didn't want to do it!
But she wouldn't stop
bugging us! - Honey, honey,
she was never gonna take you away from me.
I wouldn't have let her take you away. I wouldn't have. - Yes!
She was! Nobody wants us to be together!
Not Aaron! Not Ms. Goldin!
Not Grandma! - No.
They're all against me! - Sadie...
You shut up, Aaron! Don't listen
to him, Mommy! He wants you all to himself!
No, he doesn't. He loves you and I love you.
I love you so much!
I love you much. Please, honey.
Please put the knife down. - Nobody loves me.
That is not true, honey. - I'll kill myself
before I ever go away! - Please put it down, please.
Honey, honey, please put that down.
Please, I love you so much. Please don't do this..
Please, please put it down.
Come here. Come here. - I'm sorry, Mommy.
I tried. I tried so hard to be good.
I know you did, honey. I love you so much.
I know you did. I love you so much.
She put on the bridesmaid dress because you were coming.
Hmm... - It's best for Sadie's sake
that we keep these visits short.
She's doing much better.
She's even made a few friends.
Hmm...
Hiii!
Mommy, I'm so happy to see you.
Me too.
Aw, you look so pretty.
How are you?
Fine. How was your wedding?
I'm sure you looked so pretty in your dress.
I wear mine every day and dream
about your wedding every night.
Oh, it was wonderful. But we really missed having you there.
I have something for you.
Oh, I love it! He's so cute
and soft. Thank you!
I hear you're making some friends.
Oh yeah. I don't make mistakes anymore,
so I make lots of friends. Are you happy?
Yes. Of course!
Then I am too.
I missed you. - I have to go now.
I don't want to stay here anymore. When do I get to come home?
Hopefully very soon. You know,
you've been... you've been getting better every day,
and I'm gonna come see you next weekend.
I love you. - I love you too.
You'll always be Mommy's little girl.
