[intense music]

[woman] Oh. [man] Fine.

[indistinct chatter]

-Oh, my God. -[Key] Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna need you to do one more push.

[woman] I can't. I can't. [groaning]

That's it. That's it. Come on, come on, push.

[woman whimpering]

[woman groaning]

-Oh, my God. Oh. -All right.

[woman panting]

-You did good. It's impressive. -I did? Oh, God.

Where is, where's my... Where is it? Where's my baby?

[woman] I gotta see it.

I'm so so sorry.

[woman] No.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Please. No, please...

[whimpering] No!

No, God! Please, tell me no, please.

Oh, my God. Oh, no. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God...

[intense music]

[music continues]

[gasps]

[siren wailing]

[Peggs] I would never say never,

but the facts are the facts.

And if you're asking for my medical opinion,

then I'd say we need to start thinking about other options.

We can't try the treatments again?

-The shots? -There's no law against it.

But the fact that you haven't become pregnant by now

doesn't bode well for success.

I would do anything for a baby.

And you have, but now we're at the point

where we need to move on

to the other options we discussed.

You're talking about surrogacy?

-[Peggs] Or adoption. -No.

I want the baby to feel like mine.

And you're confident that this would work?

We have a very good success rate.

The problem was never with your eggs.

The important thing is to move forward

so you can start your family.

So it would be a test-tube baby.

[doctor chuckles] We generally use

the term in-vitro fertilization.

But it's the same idea, yes.

My egg, his sperm.

Your egg, my sperm, our child.

It's genetics, not geography that's important.

This will be your baby.

So where do we get this done?

What's the next step?

We work with an excellent agency

that has been doing this a long time.

So... good luck.

[birds chirping]

Are you sure the house looks okay?

Babe, we're not real-estate brokers.

We're interviewing a surrogacy service.

I know, but still...

[doorbell rings]

[softly] Okay.

[Danielle clears throat]

Ms. Morrison?

Please, call me Carol.

Carol. Please, come in, come in.

-Hi. Josh. -What a pleasure.

[door shuts]

Well, what a beautiful home.

Wow. This is fine. Yeah.

Uh, Carol. Can we get you something to drink?

Uh, no, thank you. I'm fine.

Uh, well... Please, uh, take a seat.

-Make yourself comfortable. -Uh, in a minute.

Well, you have a beautiful home, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.

Gorgeous. Um, one thing.

Those, uh, corners, those have to be childproofed.

Oh, and the outlets covered.

But plenty of room for the child to grow.

Well, I'm sure you have a million questions, so...

Oh, gosh. A million and one.

[Carol] Well, in many ways,

we're really

like an online dating service.

I mean, in so far as we facilitate a meeting,

and then if the parties agree, we move forward.

So she has to approve us, as well?

Oh, of course. I mean, first I approve.

And then I set you up with whom I think is a good match.

But, yes, it's always a mutual decision.

You know what, why don't you tell me

what your expectations are

for interaction, that type of thing?

Look, if we weren't using a surrogate,

we'd be there for every kick and heartburn attack,

so we'd kind of like to be there for as much of it

as we possibly can.

Of course, they have their own lives,

but we are very protective of our girls.

So much so that it is so important

that the couple that we match them with

treat them really well during the process.

Oh, uh, yeah. I mean, how could we not?

-She'd be giving us such a gift. -Mm-hmm.

Yes, she will be.

And, and why do most of your girls do this, anyways?

Is it just for the money?

They look at this as a calling.

Sometimes nature can't make the miracle of life happen.

And that's where we come in.

[instrumental music]

-[indistinct chatter] -What are you fidgeting for?

-I'm nervous. -You don't need to be nervous.

[Kailee] Are you Mr. and Mrs. Thompson?

Danielle and Josh, please. You must be Kailee.

Kailee Richmond.

-Oh. -Oh.

That's one way to break the ice.

I'm sorry. I just got so overwhelmed.

-Oh, fine. -Uh, please, have a seat.

Uh, can I get you anything?

Uh, coffee would be great.

Not to jump the gun or anything, but if I'm gonna do this,

I need to get my caffeine while I can.

Uh, so...

Regular espresso, double shot, while you still can?

-Please. -Yeah.

Well, uh, Kailee, do you wanna tell us

a little about yourself?

Yeah, well, it's not the most interesting life story,

so just cut me off if I begin to bore you.

My dad passed away when I was only two.

-Heart attack. -I'm so sorry.

Thank you. But, obviously, it was much much harder on my mom.

Thank you.

I went to school at State.

-What did you major in? -Fine Arts and Art History.

Oh, so you're an artist.

Uh, yeah. I guess I am. [chuckling]

Okay. I think it's time.

Go ahead. Ask me the big question.

Uh, you mean, why you would wanna do this?

Of course.

Okay, here's the deal.

I love my painting, I love my freedom.

And I knew and know

that I just would never wanna be tied down.

A baby and a husband that...

I can't really imagine anything more stifling.

-Then-then why would... -[Kailee] However... [chuckles]

I was adopted.

And I saw what I did for my mother.

For her, motherhood was her purpose for being.

And if I can give that feeling

to an-another mother...

to another family...

Well, I guess

I sort of feel like it was meant to be.

And, yes, I'm getting paid, too.

And for an artist just starting out, that is no small thing.

Of course, I'm not doing it for the money,

but I'm not turning it down, either.

I'm grateful for it.

And you know what, if anyone says otherwise,

they're just a little too perfect.

And I don't trust anyone who's too perfect.

[laughing]

Neither do I.

[birds chirping]

Okay. I'm pregnant.

-Not disabled. -Well...

I appreciate the attention, though, Josh.

Yeah. I can walk through a door myself. I'm all right.

Okay. Uh, I'm gonna get the plates. I'll be right back.

[sighs deeply]

I'm so excited!

Oh, goodness, I was prepared for the back pain,

the hormones, the morning sickness,

but what they did not tell me was that my ankles

were gonna look like elephant's.

[chuckles]

-[Kailee sighs] -You really look wonderful.

Thank you.

-I know what you're thinking. -Hm?

But trust me, you're not missing anything.

Thank you.

I guess I just wanted

to experience everything about it.

Well, you can have the entire 3 a.m. feedings

and dirty diaper changes.

Yeah.

And I'm gonna love every second of it.

-All right, ladies, bon appétit. -[Kailee] Ooh.

I will take a blueberry muffin, if you don't mind.

Sure. Our pleasure.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

So what kind of, like, weird cravings have you had?

Cravings? None.

But I could show you something kind of cool

and a little creepy.

Uh, pour me just a little, if you would?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-That's enough. Yeah. -Yeah?

Now both of you put your one hand on my stomach.

Come here, come here. Get in here.

So anytime I drink, uh, something with sugar in it,

she goes crazy. She, like...

Like, it's like a jolt of energy. Watch.

-[gasps] Oh! -Oh, my God!

-That was the foot. [chuckles] -Whoa!

Yeah. That was definitely a swift kick.

That's our baby.

-[dog barking] -[crickets chirping]

[cell phone vibrating]

[Danielle groans]

Hello?

-Josh! -Hm?

She's in labor! She's in labor.

-What? What? -She's in labor. She's in labor!

[instrumental music]

[woman on PA] Dr. Frank, telephone, please.

Hi. Uh, we're Josh and Danielle Thompson.

Our surrogate is here and is supposedly in labor right now...

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, I've been apprised of your situation.

Let me first tell you that everyone is completely fine.

When Ms. Richmond arrived here,

the baby was in some distress.

The umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck.

So we did need to do a C-section immediately.

-But the, the baby is... -Let's go see her.

-Please. -[nurse] Follow me.

[baby cooing]

[baby cooing]

[Danielle chuckling]

Oh, my God.

[Danielle] Can I hold her?

Of course. You're her parents.

Hi.

You are beautiful, my little Sophie.

Just like her mother.

[instrumental music]

Where's Kailee?

Uh, Ms. Richmond is in her room,

comfortably resting.

-Can we see her? -[nurse] I don't see why not.

Um, come on. Follow me.

I love you.

Just give us a minute.

[Sophie babbling]

Knock, knock! It's Danielle and Josh.

[door shuts]

We just wanted to see how you were feeling.

We've already seen Sophie.

[Josh] It's a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl.

[Danielle chuckles]

Kailee?

There's nothing that we could say

that would be adequate, Kailee. Just...

Thank you so much.

You've given us the world.

That's nice.

Uh, let's let Ms. Richmond rest.

She's had a long morning.

[music continues]

[birds chirping]

[Sophie babbling]

I was hoping she'd have blue eyes.

There's a lot of that in my family.

Well, all babies have blue eyes.

You know what, I think I'm gonna put her down for a nap.

-Yeah? -Mm.

It's a good idea.

[softly] Come here, munchkin, come here.

Oh. Oh.

Okay.

[softly] Bye-bye.

[Sophie crying]

[indistinct chatter on TV]

Do you think she's eating enough?

[laughs]

The doctor said she's gained the perfect amount of weight.

She's eating and sleeping and pooping and crying

and napping like a perfectly normal baby.

-She's fine. -[sighs]

I know, I know.

It's just, when I look at her and...

-She's just so tiny... -[doorbell ringing]

Who's that?

Maybe it's your parents.

[laughs] My parents call first.

Funny.

[grunts] I'll get it.

[clears throat]

[cheering on TV]

Oh, my God.

Surprise!

-[Danielle] Who is it? -Uh, it's Kailee.

[Kailee] I hope it's okay that I stopped by.

Um, yeah. You just surprised us is all.

Kailee, I-I'm sorry, uh, the agency, they told us,

you know, after the birth, we wouldn't see you an-anymore.

I know. I know. I should've called first, uh, and asked.

I'm sorry, I just, I felt really bad

about how we left it at the hospital and...

And I was pretty out of it.

Yeah, well, you-you went through a lot.

-Yeah. -I can't imagine.

Uh, please, h-have a seat.

Oh. [chuckles]

So, uh, how are you feeling? [chuckles]

Oh... [clears throat]

Still pretty sore.

The doctor says I'm healing really nicely, so...

Well, that's good to hear.

First thing I did when I got home,

made myself a fully-caffeinated Irish coffee.

Heavy on the whiskey.

Ah.

Well, K-Kailee, we just, we just want you to know

how grateful we will always be to you

for your help.

Yeah, I mean, we, we could never, we could never repay you.

Well...

Can I see our little girl?

Um, she's asleep.

I-I just, just put her down.

Well, I'm, I'm sure she wouldn't wake up then.

I, I would really love to see her.

I mean...

if it wasn't for me...

You know, I'm, I'm-I'm sure that's fine.

I mean, it would be, it would be nice

for Kailee to meet Sophie.

It'll be nice.

I'll be right back.

[chuckling]

Uh, so, um...

Are-are-are you good?

I've been good.

Good. Good.

[exhales sharply] Here she is.

[Sophie cooing]

Oh, you're so sweet, little one.

[gasps] Oh, it's been a while since I've seen you,

after being inside me for nine months.

Oh, can I hold her?

Uh, I suppose, yeah. Just, just be careful.

She can get fussy sometimes.

Oh, don't worry. I remember how rambunctious she can be.

Oh. Hi.

[Sophie babbling]

Well, you know, I should, um, I should get going.

You guys probably want your family time.

Bye, sweet little girl.

Thanks for having me.

Of course.

We appreciate everything you've done, Kailee.

-[Kailee] Bye. -[door opens]

[door shuts]

[instrumental music]

[Josh] Don't you think you might be overreacting

just a little bit?

She called Sophie "ours," Josh.

"Ours." Not yours and mine.

All of ours.

Yeah, that was kind of weird.

-[scoffs] -Well, think about it, though.

I mean, even if she knew what she was getting into,

and she was totally gung-ho about it,

it's still got to be weird, you know?

I mean, she carried the baby for nine months and then it's gone.

I mean, that's gotta be odd even if you don't want it.

Whatever, all the time we were with her,

she never said she was having second thoughts.

-Well, she's probably not. -[sighs]

She probably just doesn't want our last memory of her

to be all drugged up in the hospital.

[chuckles]

I suppose.

I don't want to think about her anymore.

I just wanna try and get a few hours of sleep

before the red light of exhaustion starts blinking.

You know, I can take her a bottle, too.

[chuckles] I know.

I want to.

Show our little visitor what it's like to be a real mother.

Babe...

[instrumental music]

-[knocking on door] -[telephone ringing]

Mm, mm...

I gotta tell you, boss. You don't look that bad.

I thought all new dads were supposed to have that

junkie look.

Raccoon eyes, drawn face.

I'm sleeping surprisingly well.

You know, I offer, but, uh, Dani does

most of the night-time feedings and changings.

She still hasn't got back to work?

[chuckles] No. No, she's in no hurry, either.

I mean, you know, Dani, like, everything she does,

she goes all out.

Right now it is all about motherhood.

[cell phone vibrating]

-Ah, speak of the devil. -You want me to go?

Hey.

Do you know how much I love you?

Uh, yeah, but I...

But I never get tired of hearing it.

[chuckles] It's adorable.

And even the right size.

-I am totally impressed. -[Josh] Uh-huh.

[Danielle] Are you gonna be working late tonight?

Uh... No, no. Uh, I'm not.

But, uh, listen, I have Tyler in here right now.

So, uh, let me go. And give her a kiss for me?

Will do. Love you.

I love you, too. Bye.

That was so sweet, I almost gagged.

If I talked that way with Summer,

she would probably wonder

if I had a brain aneurysm.

Ah, whatever.

I've heard you and Summer

be lovey-dovey plenty of times.

Never when I'm at work. I'm all business here.

[laughs] All right, well, if you're all business,

have you finished running those, uh, marketing simulations?

Got it going right now.

The data set's large, so it'll probably take an hour.

Oh. Well, that is wacked.

Nobody says wacked anymore.

-That went out with, like, Y2K. -You don't even remember Y2K.

I like history.

Go do computing things. Get out of here.

I'm making notes.

-Bye, dad. -Bye.

[indistinct chatter]

-Smell that jasmine? -Yeah.

You know, maybe we should just retire.

[laughing]

We could spend our days like this.

Oh, don't get any ideas.

Remember, I'm going back to work soon.

Oh. What's the matter?

Jillian doing too good a job running the show

while you're gone, huh?

Are you afraid that there might be a coup?

[chuckles] Man, she has really stepped it up.

I'm gonna have to do something,

promotion or raise,

just to acknowledge it.

I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

[breathing deeply]

So what are we doing tomorrow?

Well, first a little shopping.

For you or for Sophie?

For her.

It's getting colder at night.

And then Sophie has a doctor's appointment.

-She's got more shots? -Yeah.

Mm, it's better than getting smallpox.

[chuckles] I don't think they do smallpox shots anymore.

I don't know. Like, mumps or rubella or whatever.

Yeah, that's for sure.

-Boo! -[gasping] Ah!

Oh, oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, I completely thought you heard me.

-Kailee, what... -Oh, here.

Let me make it up to you. I'll get her back down.

-What do you think you're doing? -Jeez.

I was just trying to help. [scoffs]

The heck are you guys so uptight for?

Well, what are you doing here?

I always come to this park.

Take a walk, clear my head.

How funny is it that I saw you guys here?

It's nice to see you, Kailee.

But we were just leaving.

No, you weren't.

Excuse me?

I parked in that lot over there, walked all this way.

I watched you the entire time.

Don't tell me what we were or were not doing.

I'm sensing hostility from you, Danielle.

I don't understand why.

This is all just...

I-it's pretty unexpected.

That we should all be in the same park at the same time

on such a beautiful day?

[Josh] That after Sophie was born,

we agreed that we just wouldn't see you again and...

You know, now it's been twice in a few weeks.

Once at our home and, you know, once here.

I don't know, I guess I feel like

you guys could be a little more grateful

after everything I did.

And-and we'll always appreciate that.

-Uh, we could never repay you... -It was a business transaction.

That's all. And you were paid generously.

Did you hear that, little Sophie?

You were just a business transaction.

I would never treat you like that.

[Danielle] Get the hell away from here.

Okay. Okay.

Talk about unappreciative.

This better be the last of these coincidences.

[softly] My God.

Go make sure she knows we're serious.

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Hey, Kailee.

Um...

Look, we don't want you coming around anymore.

I, I hope you understand that.

So you've said.

And I meant it.

Look, we care a great deal for you,

but it's best if our relationship ends today.

It's best if we never see you again.

Do you understand?

Okay. Good.

Josh.

What is it?

You never thanked me for my gift.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Daddy's little girl.

I'm warning you, Kailee.

Stay the hell away from my family.

[Danielle sighs]

So what did you say to her?

I, I told her to stay away from us.

And do you think she understood?

I hope so.

-[Josh sighs] -Ready to go?

Listen, I gotta tell you something.

Okay.

Kailee sent Sophie the onesie.

"Daddy's girl." That wasn't from me.

God, Josh, why didn't you tell me that?

Okay, she just told me,

and, and I, I just forgot about it.

So do you still think I'm acting crazy?

-I wanna go to the police. -What are we gonna tell them?

Tell them everything that's going on.

Babe, I am as weirded out about this as you are,

but I don't really think the cops can do anything.

Look, she hasn't broken any laws.

She's a stalker.

I, I mean, she came to our house one time

and then she comes to a public place

where she said she comes all the time.

So that's not stalking.

Okay, what about her threats?

Well, she didn't,

she didn't really threaten us.

Well, she acted overly concerned. She sent us a gift.

-Why aren't you on my side? -Babe, I...

Hey, I'm on your side,

with everything.

I just think if we go to the cops right now,

we're gonna look like idiots.

I'm telling you, she's a nut.

Yeah, and you are probably right.

But the only thing we can do right now is be aware of it

and not let her near Sophie.

There is one more thing that we can do.

I understand your concerns, I really do.

But the type of questions you're asking me,

even if I had the answers, I'd be prohibited from telling you

due to confidentiality.

So your stupid agreement is more important

than the safety of our daughter?

[Carol] I didn't say that.

But we do have to consider

the condition of the mother.

-What? -The birth mother.

-[sighs] -She's been through a lot.

Uh, she did have a C-section, correct?

-So... -What?

Well, she has to live with a scar for the rest of her life

as a reminder of the child

that lives in your house, and that is a lot.

[Josh] Look, we're not asking you to do anything

illegal or even unethical.

But do we have a reason to be concerned?

I thoroughly vet my candidates, I can assure you that.

Well, can you at least tell us

if this has ever happened before?

Well, I mean, it's not absolutely unheard of

for a surrogate to develop

more attachment to the child than she expected.

But the idea that she would go crazy

and come back and hurt the child or the parents...

I mean, that just doesn't happen in real life.

Look, no specifics.

But you not only do a thorough background check,

you do a medical check?

Both physical and mental?

Of course.

Look, my best guess is, I really think

she just thought she was being helpful.

And now that you've made your intentions known,

I doubt you'll ever see her again.

Oh, how is the child, out of curiosity?

-Couldn't be better. -Oh, good. I'm so happy.

And I know Kailee would be, too. I'm sure.

[panting]

[car engine starting]

[Josh] Kailee?

[tires screeching]

Wait! Hey, stop!

[panting]

-Hey. -Hey. Hey, how was your run?

It was okay.

-Is she asleep? -Yeah.

She fell asleep a little while ago.

She was exhausted from the park. [chuckles]

[Danielle] You okay?

Yeah. Why?

You look a little worried.

Was anybody here while I was gone?

Like who?

Well, anybody?

Of course not.

Nobody rang the bell?

Okay. Tell me what's going on.

When I was running up, there was a car in front of the house.

It could have been the neighbors.

Could have been anybody.

But what?

Well, when I ran up to it, it sped off

and when it turned the corner...

it kinda looked like Kailee.

-[Danielle] Are you serious? -I mean, I can't be sure.

It was just, it was just a glance.

I'm not gonna be a prisoner in my own home, Josh. Ugh.

[Sophie crying]

[sighs]

[Danielle] Come here, baby.

It's okay.

[Danielle shushing]

It's okay.

There has to be something that we can do.

Like I said, I'm not even sure it was her.

[sighs] She's got me so freaked out,

I think I'm seeing her everywhere.

So what do we do?

I don't know. Just keep your eyes peeled.

Anything weird comes up, just let me know.

-Let me take a shower. -Okay.

[sighs]

[shushing]

Come here, baby girl.

Oh. There you go.

-There you go. -[instrumental music]

-[Sophie cooing] -[shushing]

[whispering] Love you, Sophie.

Oh. Yes, just give me two hours, kiddo.

Two hours, and you can have anything you want.

All right.

Oh. Yes.

[groans]

[birds chirping]

[Sophie cooing]

[Kailee] How are you?

[gasping]

[intense music]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Hey. Hey, hey. Hey, is she okay?

Yeah, she's, she's totally fine.

I grabbed the fireplace poker.

It was closest thing to a weapon that I could find.

When Kailee saw me, she put Sophie back down and she ran.

Oh, thank God.

Have you found her?

Josh, this is Detective Logan.

-What am I missing here? -Have a seat, Mr. Thompson.

Tell me you got her.

[Logan] She's down the hall

talking with a colleague of mine.

Okay, so what's gonna happen to her?

[Sophie cooing]

Mr. Thompson, Ms. Richmond is the one who called the police.

Okay, I'm-I'm confused.

Once Kailee left and I knew Sophie was fine,

I called the police,

but I was told that they were already

on their way and I should stay inside.

Ms. Richmond is claiming your wife attacked her.

-That she was the aggressor. -She was in our house.

I understand that, sir, but this isn't some stranger.

There could be a logical explanation for all this.

And Kailee says that she stopped by our house to say hello.

-To say hello? -Mm-hmm.

L-look, she is not a friend of ours, okay?

-This woman is a nut. -[sighs]

Mr. Thompson, please let your wife finish.

[Danielle] She claims she heard Sophie crying.

She said that she was afraid Sophie was hurt,

that something had happened to me.

So she comes in the house, picks Sophie up

to comfort her. And that's when I woke up.

Ms. Richmond claims the front door was open.

Oh, 'cause you would leave the door unlocked?

-Never. -[Logan] Look.

All we're going over now

is what Ms. Richmond claimed

and not the veracity of it.

Well, can we charge her with breaking and entering?

-She didn't break in. -[scoffs]

And to be honest, if you were to file charges,

she'd claim the good-Samaritan defense.

-And it would probably work. -Oh, this is ridiculous.

It wouldn't sound that way to a jury of people

who didn't know either one of you.

She has been harassing us.

Yeah, that's another thing your wife has been telling me.

Um...

A baby gift and being in the same park with someone

doesn't rise to the level of harassment.

I knew it! I freaking knew it!

I told you, Danielle, I said if we go to the cops,

they're gonna blame the victim.

We're not blaming anyone.

We're trying to resolve this issue

in a way that's satisfactory to both parties.

Both parties? Hold on.

Why the hell should she have any say in any of this?

There's only one party here, that's us.

Ms. Richmond called the police

about being attacked by your wife.

We can't just dismiss her claim.

Certainly, you can understand that.

[Sophie crying]

Okay.

[breathes deeply]

What are you telling us then? What happens now?

According to Ms. Richmond, she just wants this to be over with.

And she's agreed not to press charges for assault.

I may have grazed her with the fireplace poker.

Provided you don't press charges for breaking and entering.

Fine, then I wanna file a restraining order.

Well, you know you could try,

but I gotta tell you that on legal grounds,

I don't think a judge would approve it.

Well, what are we supposed to do

if she won't leave us alone?

You know, I don't know what's going on with the three of you,

but we're telling all of you to document every incident.

And now that we have statements from all of you,

anything will be easier to prove.

And what if she does something to harm our daughter?

[Logan] Mr. Thompson, this is America.

We don't arrest people

because they might be dangerous.

[dog barking]

[dramatic music]

[glass shatters]

-What's that? -[Josh] Hm?

Oh, Josh, I heard something.

With everything happening, you have to go check it out.

[sniffles] Okay.

-Come on. -Okay.

[groans]

[dog barking]

[car engine starting]

[tires screeching]

[Sophie cooing]

I know I heard something, Josh.

I'm not imagining it.

I'm not saying you didn't.

But there's nobody in the house, the street's quiet.

Do you think we should bring Sophie in here with us?

I think you should go back to sleep.

Stop worrying.

Anyway, I think your Buford Pusser impression

scared her off for good.

[chuckles] Buford Pusser?

Walking Tall.

-[scoffs] -Forget it.

You know what?

I gotta get up in a couple of hours anyway,

so I'll do some reading and you can do some resting.

Go back to sleep.

[Sophie crying]

[Danielle chuckles]

[inhales sharply] You fell asleep.

Mm. [chuckles]

Then you can get her.

I'll make the coffee.

[groans]

[yawns] Okay.

[instrumental music]

[Josh] Babe, are we out of diapers?

They're in the top right corner of the changing table.

Next to the wipes.

[drawer opening and closing]

[Josh] Found 'em.

[groans]

What the...

[Danielle] Oh, my gosh.

[intense music]

That bitch.

Babe! Josh!

You have a nice house, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.

-Nice, indeed. -That's not why you're here.

What are you going to do about her?

We're gonna talk to her, see what she has to say.

Why can't you just arrest her?

Mrs. Thompson, you and your husband

are both intelligent people.

You know what my answer is going to be.

Well, she's just gonna deny it. Ugh!

Probably, but we can put a little pressure on her.

Check her alibi, talk to the neighbors.

See if they saw anything.

Look, before today, everything that you claim

Ms. Richmond has done could be chalked up

to coincidence or miscommunication.

And what that means is if she meant to do you harm,

she would have to be calculated,

intelligent.

Does this strike you as something she would do

so soon after what happened?

She would have to be the dumbest

criminal in the world.

[scoffs] Or the craziest.

So, when are we gonna hear something?

I'll attempt to speak to Ms. Richmond today.

I promise.

-Great. -[Danielle grunts]

He's not gonna do anything. He thinks we're the crazy ones.

He brought up a good point. Is that really her style?

[Danielle] But maybe that's exactly the point.

She knows it's almost too obvious.

Nobody's gonna think she'd be that stupid,

so she can get away with it.

Right, but it would have been so easy for her

to get caught, or even seen.

It was the middle of the night, Josh.

Yeah, you're right.

Look, will you stay at Brady's until I get back today?

You have to go into the office today?

Yeah, I do. Work's piling up.

And I wanna talk to Tyler about something.

All right, fine.

Brady's been begging me to bring Sophie by, anyway.

So... she'll be thrilled.

Good. I love you.

Love you.

[Tyler] Did I do something wrong?

[exhales sharply]

I need a favor.

-I do favors. -[chuckles]

You know, when I hired you,

we never really discussed your past.

I hired you because you were the best person for the job.

I never hid it, and since then

I've been nothing but transparent about everything.

This isn't about how honest

you've been in the past.

Quite the opposite.

I need you to, [clears throat],

to breach a system... for me.

You need me to hack a site?

You know, it's been years since I've done that.

Since I've been here, everything has been on the up and up.

-But you could. -Yeah, I could do it.

[chuckles] Is it legal?

But it's important?

I'm afraid Danielle and Sophie are in danger.

Tell me what needs to be done.

The woman that we hired for our surrogate,

she came from an agency.

And her records at that agency are confidential.

[Tyler] And you need those records.

I need the records.

This is really important, huh,

for Danielle and Sophie?

I wouldn't ask otherwise.

[exhales]

If you think I'm not bringing this up

at my next performance review,

you're out of your mind.

[chuckling]

What do you need from me?

Just the name of agency

and the surrogate's name.

I'll take it from there.

Thank you.

You owe me.

I know I shouldn't feel this way,

but after everything we went through

and finally we have a child

and now we have to deal with this?

It just, just doesn't seem fair.

I-I know I sound ungrateful.

Hell, no. You sound normal.

When I had the twins, all I wanted to do was dote on them.

And now, six years later,

you can take them both, for all I care.

But the first few months you have with your baby

should be blissful and nobody should be able

to take that away from you.

-Oh... -[cell phone vibrating]

It's the detective.

This is Danielle.

Uh, yeah, I can give him a call at work.

I'm-I'm sure that won't be a problem,

it just might take a bit.

Did you speak with her?

Oh. Okay. I see.

Uh, all right. Well, we'll-we'll see you soon.

Thank you.

Detective wants to meet with Josh and I.

-He said he has an update. -Did he find the surrogate?

-[Danielle] He wouldn't say. -That's weird.

-Want me to drive over with you? -[Danielle] I appreciate that.

I just don't know what he's gonna tell us.

He sounded really secretive.

[Brady] Well, I guess we should get going.

I know you're not supposed to expose her to other kids

for a few months, but when you feel comfortable,

you better have us over.

-I promise I will. -Okay.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Did you find her? What did she say?

I called Ms. Richmond, I asked where she was

between midnight and 7:00,

which, according to you, was the time that the damage...

-Crime. -That the crime occurred.

Yeah. That's right.

I expected Ms. Richmond to say

she was sleeping.

But instead, Ms. Richmond said

she spent the entire evening

at the Middle Grove Diner.

I know that place. That's, uh...

That's the one over on Elm, the one with the,

with the good fries.

Better onion rings.

But, yeah, that's the place.

It's open 24 hours.

W-why would she be there all night?

Well, according to her, she said she was thinking about

going back to school for her masters, and she was studying.

-Sounds like a load of crap. -But easily corroborated.

So I went to the diner, and one of the waitresses

that worked the night shift was still there.

I showed her a photo of Ms. Richmond.

She recognized her, said she was there

most of the night and into the morning.

Well, t-that doesn't prove anything.

It could've been someone who just looked like her.

So across the street is a gas station.

I know the owner.

One of his security cams points directly

to the diner's front door and main window.

And?

And Ms. Richmond entered the diner

a little after 10 p.m.

And she left after 7:00 in the morning.

She could have just gone in and out

the back of the restaurant.

[Logan] Possibly, but she took a seat

right near the window.

She got up a couple of times,

for a few minutes each time.

Probably, to use the bathroom.

But otherwise, she was in that booth the entire time.

So then it couldn't have been Kailee who vandalized the car.

No, not in the time frame you described.

Please.

[Logan sighs]

What's wrong?

You know, there's such a thing as an alibi that's too good.

Too perfect.

There were times when Ms. Richmond even

glanced out the window, directly at the camera.

-As if she knew it was there. -So what does that mean?

Even though she wasn't directly responsible,

she knew she'd be questioned for it.

I'm a skeptic. [sighs] It's my job.

But now, with this development,

I'm starting to believe there's a little more to Ms. Richmond

than meets the eye.

So what are you gonna do about it?

Look, even now, I don't think

a judge is going to, uh, approve a restraining order.

So for now, I'm just gonna document all of this.

That way, if anything else happens, there's a record.

[Logan] Thank you.

-[sighs] Babe. -Uh...

[Josh] Let it go.

[Danielle clears throat]

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I understand the police can't be knocking down doors

and dragging people away with no reason,

but there has to be some legal way

that we can make sure she stays the hell away from us.

[clears throat]

I had Tyler hack Kailee's file at the agency.

[clears throat] Thank you.

[clears throat]

[whispers] What?

Well, I figured there might be

something in there that could give us some insight to her.

Or maybe we can figure out a way to get her to leave us alone.

-And he agreed to do it? -He already did it.

He texted me while Detective Logan was talking.

He said he'd bring the files by the house.

Are you mad?

I'm mad I didn't think of it myself.

[engine revving]

Babe, Tyler's here.

[Tyler] So, do I at least get to meet this kid?

Ooh, don't hate me, but I just put her down

and I don't wanna wake her.

-Oh, story of my life. -[chuckles] Oh.

I'm supposed to meet a beautiful woman and they stand me up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

-Can I get you a drink? -[sighs]

Can't refuse if the boss is offering.

-All right, what do you want? -Something good.

If the boss is paying.

Baby, you want a glass of wine?

-I'm fine, thank you. -All right.

So, Tyler, Josh tells me

things are heating up with,

what's her name, Winter?

-Very funny. Uh, Summer. -Ah!

And, uh, we'll see what happens.

-Aw... -All right.

Scotch. Good Scotch.

-You spoil me. -[glasses clink]

It's the least I can do.

All right, let's see what you got.

I wanna warn you.

I hope you're not disappointed.

I don't think there's anything in here

that says something like,

"Subject is a homicidal maniac."

-You read this whole thing? -Of course I read it.

That's how I found out what I needed to copy.

It's not like I get in the system and right there

on the main drive is a big flashing folder that says

"Kailee Richmond." Subfolder, "Maniac documents."

Most of it's pretty boring.

School records, background checks,

medical records.

I mean, according to this, there's nothing that contradicts

what she told us.

What about... this one?

"Dr. Karen Jorgensen. Psychiatrist?"

Check out how long she's been seeing her.

Guys, do you know how many people

around here see a therapist?

I bet you, at least 80% of people...

Oh, wow.

What?

Kailee's been seeing this woman

almost every week

for her entire life.

There's one other weird thing.

There's one file that's not

password protected like the others.

What does that mean?

It's protected by a more sophisticated

encryption protocol.

-Can you hack it? -Probably.

But it'll take time.

And you have no idea what's in that file?

Medical records.

I can tell that from the metadata.

Specifically, about infertility.

Probably relates to the surrogacy then.

I can probably crack it tonight. I'll bring it tomorrow.

-All right, man. Thank you. -Anytime.

Ride safe.

[engine starts, engine revving]

[car engine starts]

[intense music]

Hey, babe, I left my key card. Can you buzz me in?

[Summer] Hey, babe. Yeah.

Uh, the intercom system is still broken.

Um, I'll have to come down and get you.

Just, uh, just give me a minute.

What the hell?

[knocking on door]

Are you blind or you're just dumb?

Your front bumper's on my...

[groaning]

[intense music]

[car engine starts]

[cell phone vibrating]

Uh...

-Mm. -Sorry.

[Danielle clears throat]

Summer?

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.

Oh, my God.

Okay, we'll be, we'll be right there.

What is it?

Tyler's dead.

What?

We got to go.

[siren wailing]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Summer] If only I had come down sooner...

I've spoken to the detective in charge of the investigation.

[Logan] Right now all indications are that this was

just a run-of-the-mill robbery gone bad.

Mr. Sampson's wallet was gone,

as was his computer.

There's been a fair amount of crime in this neighborhood.

Are there any cameras?

None focused on the area.

But Ms. Rider says that Mr. Sampson was coming home

from your house.

That's why I called you.

[Logan] What was he doing there?

I, um...

We were going over some stuff for work.

I-I asked him to come.

Um, this police officer is gonna take you

down to the station to formalize your statement.

Thank you.

[Sophie whimpering]

Is there anything I need to know?

Like what?

He was at your house just before he was murdered.

Yeah, and I told you, we were working on some work things.

It wasn't uncommon.

Then what I said before was true.

This was just a robbery.

The kind we see all the time in this neighborhood.

I told him to move a million times.

But you're thinking it was Ms. Richmond, no?

No.

No, that doesn't make any sense.

What would she have against him? She doesn't know him.

No.

[Logan] Nothing I can think of.

I just wanted to make sure.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I know it's been a rough few days.

[indistinct radio chatter]

He knew something was up.

Can't prove anything.

We should've just told him right away,

been upfront with him.

Babe, what I asked Tyler to do was a felony.

I could go to jail, lose the business.

We, we are ruined.

What do you think?

About what?

About this whole robbery theory?

Too coincidental.

The same night he gives us confidential information

about a potentially disturbed individual,

he's murdered?

-Come on. -[Danielle sighs]

What I can't figure out is how she knew.

Yeah, I can't figure that out, either.

What now?

I think we go see Dr. Jorgensen.

Tomorrow.

Can I make a suggestion?

Let me go alone.

What? No. Why?

[Danielle] The only thing that will work is if I can

somehow get her to feel bad for us.

That's gonna be harder with you there.

I don't, uh... I don't know. I don't like it.

She's a psychiatrist. What could happen?

Besides, you'll be right outside.

[car honking]

-[sighs] -Well?

I met her, she has clients all day,

but said if I come back at 4:00, she'll make some time for me.

What was she like?

She's kind of weird.

Weird how?

I don't know.

It was almost as if she's been expecting it

for a really long time.

Do you think we can leave Sophie at your parents until then?

Are you kidding? They're on cloud nine with her there.

Of course, we can. Why?

'Cause I got some stuff around the house I wanna do.

[intense music]

-It's pretty obvious up there. -Yeah, that's the point.

I mean, we want it to act as a deterrent, too.

You know, we don't wanna have people break in

and then be surprised that there's an alarm.

How many more of those do we have?

[inhales sharply] One.

Hm. Let's go inside.

See if we can find a place for it in there.

[Danielle sighs]

I think we're pretty well covered.

Yeah. But, I mean, we have an extra one.

So we may as well use it.

Well, I could... put it here.

Put it right...

[intense music]

-Tsk. -What? What?

Um...

You know what? I'm pretty hungry.

So let's go down to Bounce Burger

and-and get something to eat.

Okay.

It's a good thing I don't need to lose the baby weight.

A burger sounds great.

Babe!

What is going on?

Josh!

What was that all about?

-She bugged the damn house. -What?

That thing I pointed to you on the wall,

I-I'm, like, a 100% positive that's a listening device.

Like a, like a microphone.

Are you saying she's been listening to our conversations?

-Yeah. -To everything, the entire time?

Yeah, that is exactly what I'm saying.

-When did she put it there? -I don't know.

I mean, I guess when she broke in.

Like, you were asleep. You don't know how long you were asleep.

I don't think those things take long to install.

Well, at least now we get

how she knew about Tyler.

She was listening to our conversation with him.

Should we tell Logan about this?

Now we have proof.

Yeah, we have proof, but in order to prove anything,

we'd have to tell him about the files.

[sighs] You're right.

So what do we do? Just take it down?

I don't know. I'm not so sure.

What do you mean?

I mean, think about it.

Until now,

Kailee's had an advantage, right?

She's known everything we were saying,

everything we were thinking.

So if we take it down,

yeah, she loses that advantage.

But I think there might be a way

for us to leave it up

and use it to our advantage.

Well, let's talk about it in the car.

We need to get going to Dr. Jorgensen.

Okay.

[keys jingling]

Okay, so, um, find out whatever you can.

And if anything makes you feel uncomfortable, just leave.

-Love you. -I love you.

Be careful.

[Jorgensen] I agreed to talk with you

because you seemed as if you were in distress.

But I must tell you again that everything you wanna know

about Kailee Richmond is confidential.

But you can at least tell me

why you started seeing her at such a young age

and why you stopped seeing her just recently.

I don't know how you found out

or why you even think I know Kailee.

Well, you can at least listen to me, right?

Of course.

Kailee was our surrogate.

She gave birth to our baby girl.

That was supposed to be the extent of her involvement,

but she keeps coming back

trying to see our daughter.

When we went to the police, she vandalized our house.

We even have reason to believe

she killed a man who worked for my husband

because he was trying to help us.

[Jorgensen] This is an awful story.

But I don't know what you want me to do.

[Danielle] You have a daughter?

I do.

That was many years ago, but, um...

Well, she's a young woman now.

I'm begging you.

What if someone was trying to hurt her,

take her from you?

But I can't speak about a patient.

But since you are here

as a patient yourself,

looking for help,

I can respond hypothetically

to your situation.

A woman like the person you described

would have very strong feelings about being a surrogate.

It wouldn't surprise me if she had a very strong mother

who was a outsized influence in her life.

A woman like this

would never give up

exerting her influence.

And after all these years, her daughter would be powerless

to stop her.

Then I will.

[intense music]

So? You okay? You were in there a while.

I'm fine. And I've come up with an idea.

Hi, it's me.

I need you to call me right away.

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid that things are getting really out of hand.

[Danielle] I know we both said it's a good idea,

but now I'm having second thoughts.

Babe, do not second guess yourself.

After everything we've been through, you deserve a break.

We deserve a break.

And after all, it's only one night.

I know, I know.

I'm just not crazy about leaving Sophie with a stranger.

Come on, Ashley's hardly a stranger.

Well, she took care of Brady's kids for years.

I mean, she's like a second mother to them.

And we know she's good with infants.

And what about Kailee?

You know, I think Kailee has come to her senses.

I don't think she's gonna bother us anymore.

Still, I'd feel more comfortable

if the cameras were working first.

And we will get the cameras back online as soon as we get home.

-Okay? -Okay. So what's the plan?

You're gonna drop me off at my parents,

then pick up Ashley and drop her off back here?

That's the plan.

-Are you ready? -I'm ready.

[intense music]

[car engine revving]

-[dog barking] -[crickets chirping]

[Josh] Thanks for coming over on short notice, Ashley.

[car engine starts]

[music continues]

-[Ashley humming] -[Sophie babbling]

[Ashley humming]

Smile, you bitch!

[Josh] Hey!

Don't! Don't.

She would've killed you and taken Sophie.

But she didn't.

She's sick, Josh, she's sick.

I'm gonna call the cops.

[siren wailing]

[indistinct radio chatter]

That was incredibly stupid. And you were incredibly lucky.

-Do you have kids, detective? -Three.

Then you would've done the exact same thing.

Check the picture.

You should have called me the second

you found the listening device.

[Josh] For what? For you to tell me that I had no proof?

That anybody could have planted it?

I wouldn't have said that. You would've had proof.

Or you would have had a couple that you didn't entirely trust,

who you thought was trying to frame somebody.

No offense, detective, but you didn't exactly give us

a lot of reason to be confident in you.

No, I suppose not.

So what's gonna happen to her?

Well, assuming she recovers.

-You don't think she'll... -She'll make it.

She'll have a nasty headache for a while, but she'll live.

And when she recovers,

she'll, uh, be indicted and go on trial.

My best guess is they'll place her in a facility

for people with her condition.

Well, I don't like that.

I promise you.

She's going away for a very, very long time. Okay?

And when she does get out, she'll be monitored.

She won't be a danger to you anymore.

I really wish I could believe that.

Look, there's, uh, there'll be more questions.

But right now, you two should get some rest.

I know you think we dropped the ball on this one,

but I want you to know, we did everything by the book.

I wish there could have been another way.

[Josh sighs]

You still think we should have told him everything?

To hell with him.

Exactly.

[Danielle chuckles]

[Danielle] You know what I just realized?

With everything that's happened,

this is the first time we've sat down

and had a nice, normal dinner.

-Like a real family. -[chuckles]

Minus one family member of course.

Of course.

But if there's one commandment I've learned

since becoming a mother, it's

"Thou shall not wake the baby."

Plus, I don't think you can serve formula in an elegant way.

No. [chuckles]

Hey, are you going to the office tomorrow?

Mm, I have to.

It'll be good for me to get back into a routine.

So my mother's picking Sophie up tomorrow

and then we have to spend some time

interviewing nannies.

Yes, uh, preferably one that literally hates children.

I think, I think that would give me a little peace of mind.

Very funny. [chuckles]

I actually have some work to do, too.

Um, do you want me to help you

get this into the kitchen, though?

No, I got it.

I hate to admit this, but I'm kind of enjoying

a little domesticity.

I know.

I never thought I'd hear you say that.

What happened to the woman who would only use paper plates

so she didn't have to do the dishes?

She grew up.

Now go or I'll change my mind.

Yes, ma'am.

-I love you. -Love you.

[Sophie babbling on baby monitor]

Hi, Sophie. [chuckles]

[woman on TV] Thanks, John, for that local sports update.

Police are asking for help in a homicide

that happened just this afternoon.

They have confirmed that the body belongs

to Willow Creek psychiatrist,

Dr. Karen Jorgensen.

Anyone with any information relating to the crime

is asked to contact local law enforcement.

In other news, county board supervisor,

Janelle Cummings has denied reports...

Josh! Josh!

-Hey, what's wrong? -Jorgensen is dead.

-What? -Somebody murdered her.

I just saw it on the news.

-You got to be kidding me. -We gotta call the police.

-Now, right now. -Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Hey, Detective Logan, it's Josh Thompson.

W-w-we just saw on the news

that Kailee's psychiatrist is dead.

Sh-sh-she must have killed her

'cause she had information.

What?

What? When?

No, pl...

Okay, we-we'll be in touch.

What'd he say?

-She's been released. -What?

He didn't think to tell us?

He said he just found out that

she was released in the custody of her mother.

Her mother?

-Oh, my God. -Oh, my God.

Oh. Babe...

-[Sophie crying] -Oh, my God. Josh, Sophie!

[intense music]

[Josh] Hey!

-[Danielle] No! -[Sophie crying]

-Quiet, quiet! -[Sophie crying]

Come on!

[Danielle] Carol? [Josh] Carol.

What are you doing here?

Did you see her? Did you see her?

I heard there might have been some problems, so I stopped by.

She took her. Kailee took our baby.

Your baby is fine. If you'll just listen to me...

She's not outside.

She's right where she's supposed to be.

[Carol] You have to understand.

My God!

[Carol] All I ever wanted

was a baby of my own.

And I tried so many times.

Every time there were complications.

When I saw my opportunity, I took it.

It didn't matter who her biological parents were.

I could be a better mother to her.

I was a better mother to her.

[siren wailing]

And when we discovered

that Kailee was infertile,

that her tubes were damaged,

I couldn't just let her be deprived.

Could I?

Oh, my God.

You're Kailee's mother.

And you took our baby.

This is crazy.

[Josh groaning]

Go, go.

[intense music]

-[grunting] -[groaning]

Leave my baby alone!

She's not your baby, she's ours!

And Kailee has the scars to prove it!

[breathing sharply]

You'll never be a mother. [laughs]

And this is what a mother does for her daughter.

-[gunshot] -[groans]

No. This is.

Oh, Josh. Josh.

Are you okay?

[instrumental music]

I love you, mama.

It was never supposed to come to this.

-[siren wailing] -[thunder rumbling]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Of all the messed up things...

I-I don't even believe it.

You sure you don't wanna go to the hospital?

After all this, I just wanna go inside

and take these two and sleep for a week.

[thunder rumbling]

The crazy thing is, I almost understand how they felt.

How bad they wanted a baby of their own.
