Every morning when the sun comes up

Gonna chase those blues away

Every morning when the sun comes up

We're gonna find the strength to say

Whoa, this is gonna be my day

Okay, if you're gonna force me.

No one's forcing you.

You can stop anytime.

So, Robert, your latest book's

on top of the bestseller list, huh?

Yeah, it's creeping up there.

My agent's really been pushing it.

Little Sully here could care less about bestsellers.

Oh, maybe she doesn't read your books, but the rest of us do.

And I thank you.

Seriously, those books

have helped Julia and I manage our money.

You should be proud.

To Robert, America's next financial guru.

To Robert. Pretty soon, you're gonna have

your own TV show, syndicated radio program.

No chance of that.

Nothing's gonna pull me away from my family.

Hey, where did Sarah run off to?

I haven't seen her since we sang happy birthday.

I can't keep track of her.

She's always running around.

She's probably digging in her garden.

Well, that's what you get for marrying a girl off the farm.

It's working out pretty well for me so far.

Hey! Let's take the boat out!

What is she doing?

I think she wants to take the boat out.

The dock is rotten.

We're hoping to have it fixed by next week.

Honey, get off the dock!

You can hardly wait for that baby brother, huh?

I'm more excited about the baby than she is.

That's 'cause you don't have to carry

the little monster around for the next nine months.

Captain Robert Benson!

You! Boat! Now!

Looks like I'm gonna have to run down there

and pull her off that dock myself.

Captain Robert Benson!

I am getting in this boat!

Sarah, Sarah!

Sarah, breathe!

Sarah! Sarah?

Sarah? Sarah?

Please.

Please, Sarah.

Please? Please, God.

Please?

Breathe!

Sarah.

Oh, God.

Okay!

Oh, thank God.

It's all right.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

My word, the recluse!

Robert, what cave did you crawl out of?

Hello, Debbie. How's New York?

It's not as healthy as Storm Lake.

Everything okay?

Well, I'm gonna be late on the pages.

It'll take me a couple more days.

Also, I want to cut the fourth chapter.

I read it last night. I think it's unnecessary.

I'll pass it along to the publisher.

Very excited about the book, Robert.

I think I can help a lot of people with this one.

Ever the crusader.

Is everything okay otherwise?

Meaning?

Meaning I am your oldest friend, Robert.

Clean and sober, Deb.

I'll have the new draft in a couple of days.

- Love you. - Love you.

You're gonna love it. You can't even tell it's organic.

We loved the cookies you made last week.

Oh, thanks. Maybe I'll make 'em next week.

He doesn't believe they're sugarless.

Well, technically, he's right.

I mean, I use honey, but it's my own honey.

So there's no refined sugars in there, I promise.

- Awesome. Thank you. - Thanks, guys.

Okay. I'm gonna start packing up.

Thanks, Charlie.

I think we did really well this week.

Yeah. All the gluten-free stuff went fast.

Either this town's getting hip,

or it actually tastes good.

Or maybe both.

Mm-mm. This town is not hip.

Mommy!

Hi.

Are you done yet?

Almost. Why?

You know why. My party.

Party? Is it your birthday?

Come on!

Do you wanna see one of your presents now?

Can I?

A bike! My own bike!

With tassels and everything.

I thought we said we'd wait another year.

I know, but all of her friends have bikes,

and I couldn't resist.

But we've talked about this.

You know exactly what happens to her blood sugar level.

Robert, it's her birthday.

Daddy, isn't it the coolest?

It's the coolest.

Those training wheels aren't coming off

till you graduate college, though.

Dad, I'll be an old lady.

Hi, Mr. Benson.

Hey, Charlie. How'd our local farmers do today?

I don't know about these other hicks, but we killed it.

Yeah. We almost sold out of all the pies,

and I sold all my honey.

That's amazing. Do you need any help?

No, I've got Charlie. It's okay. You can take her back.

Get her ready for the party.

I'm sorry about the bike.

I really couldn't help it.

And we have to trust her at some point.

You're right.

Kids have bikes.

All right, Sully, let's get ready for your party.

And don't worry.

I got her a helmet, knee pads.

I also got her a suit of armor.

Ha ha ha. Very funny.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Guys, slow down! No running!

The more they run around, the better they sleep.

I'm gonna be the one that needs the sleep.

Well, you can't stop them anyway,

so live and let live, I say.

Yeah, tell that to Robert.

I'm telling you, Julia,

he babies that girl way more than I do.

He checks her blood sugar like every five minutes

and doesn't even trust the test.

Well, he's just scared, that's all.

Yeah, but I don't know. Something's different.

Jerry said he stopped drinking.

Yeah. No, yeah, he did.

I don't know what he did,

but he hasn't had a drink in like six months.

Good for him.

Yeah. I think it's the day, too.

You know, he remembers the accident

and still can't forgive himself.

That was five years ago.

Believe me, I've moved on.

But, you know, he's just not there yet.

Hey, how's the baby search going?

Sarah!

I'd get out here.

Someone's about to open their presents without you.

We'll be there in a minute.

Actually, the agency called,

and they have a new birth mother they want us to meet.

Robert's hated them all, right?

Yeah. I mean, I haven't been too crazy

about any of them either,

but apparently this woman

is really just jumping at the chance to meet us, so...

Well, maybe she's the one.

I hope so. I really think another baby

will bring the old Robert back.

I remember that guy.

He used to dance around this kitchen to corny old music.

Yeah.

Seems like a million years ago.

Well, we pulled that off, another year.

All those kids.

She never stopped running around.

No wonder she passed out like a log.

A happy log.

You seem distracted.

Oh, it's this deadline.

I have to get the book to the publisher

by the end of the month.

So it's just the book then?

Okay, Sarah, you know it's the day.

It always has this effect on me.

Yeah, but maybe every year gets a little easier.

That's just it.

I think it's actually getting worse.

I can still picture the accident like it was yesterday.

You shouldn't...

I knew the dock was rotten.

Robert, stop beating yourself up.

You know what happens.

I'm trying.

I believe you.

It's not just you I'm thinking about.

Don't you think I know? It's Sully.

I can't stop worrying about her.

The diabetes.

Did she eat too much cake when I wasn't looking?

Is she too active? It's driving me insane.

Well, hopefully, you'll like this birth mother tomorrow.

I think having a second baby around here

will really restore the balance.

I know.

And we've tried everything.

You know I can't have children.

You're right.

I think it's the day, this book.

It's just all too much stress.

Well, you know, I know an old-fashioned remedy for stress.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Old family secret?

Oh, yeah, it's been in the family for years.

I'm all yours, doctor.

- Hello, there. - Helen, hi. Welcome.

Don't mind me. I was just watering.

This is Bridgette.

Hello.

I thought houses like this only existed in the movies.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, we're really proud of it.

Come on in.

Is Robert here?

Yeah, we're expecting both of you.

Can I get you anything?

Coffee for me.

My husband should be down in a second.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

You sure I can't get you anything?

Yeah. I just had a shake and some fries before I got here.

Your daughter?

Yeah. Sully.

She's our world.

- She's beautiful. - Oh, thanks.

You like children?

Oh, yes.

One day, I want to have a really big family.

I mean, when I'm ready.

Of course.

Hello, everyone.

Robert, this is Bridgette.

Bridgette...

Bridgette Gibson.

- Hello. - Hi.

Oh! Oh, look what I did!

It's quite all right.

No, no. I'll go get a broom. I'm so stupid.

I don't want you to cut yourself. It's fine.

I'm so sorry, sir.

No, please, call me Robert.

Please sit down.

So, tell us about yourself.

Um, right now I live in Idaho Falls.

I was going to college,

but I ended up dropping out because I couldn't afford it.

I was going to take out one of those student loans,

but I really hate being in debt.

Sounds like you read one of my husband's books.

People who read his books are afraid of being in debt.

That's not true.

My books preach fiscal responsibility, that's all.

I did read one of your books, Mr. Benson.

"Debt: Not Just a Four-Letter Word?"

Yes, of course.

I'm actually a really big fan.

- See? What'd I tell you? - Very smart.

I'm just trying to save up my money

so that I can get out of my current living situation.

What is your current living situation?

I'm in a shelter.

It's okay, though.

Just okay?

I mean, the food isn't that great

and I don't sleep that well.

I do worry about this little guy, though.

How so?

I mean, it would probably be better

if I could rest a little more, you know.

So you say it's a boy?

Yeah, a boy.

How far along are you?

Six months.

Is it hard?

Well, you know, in the beginning, there's morning sickness and...

I know why you wanted to meet me.

And any parent adopting a child would.

I'm the same.

When I got a call from the agency

saying they had found a couple,

I just wanted to be sure.

I love my baby,

and if I could afford to live in a house like this

and give him a life like you two could...

I know in my heart what I'm doing is right.

So the agency will contact you both if it's a fit

and if Bridgette agrees.

Fingers crossed, but it looks positive.

Daddy, look what I can do.

Where's your helmet?

I'm so sorry.

I'm really over-protective when it comes to kids.

No, don't be sorry, Ms. Gibson. Sully...

I don't like it on my head.

Here, let me.

Let's keep that head of yours safe

so you grow up smart like your mom and dad.

Is she gonna be okay in that shelter?

It really is the best place for her.

I'm ahead of my wife on this one.

What if she were to stay with us?

People do that, right?

Well, yes, it's done all the time,

but you should take time and think about it.

What do you think about that, Bridgette?

I wasn't paying attention.

Well, if we were to decide to go through with it,

would you be comfortable living here with us?

We'd make it very comfortable for you.

I wouldn't want to bother you guys.

Well, why don't you think about it?

So? Are you gonna say anything?

About what?

You know about what.

I like her. I liked her a lot.

It's just a big decision.

Sarah, it's just we don't even know if she's gonna like us.

Robert, you're just scared.

Besides, what's not to like about us?

Well, if she's read one of my books, she can't be that bad.

I think we're gonna be very happy.

Hi. Welcome to our home.

No more heavy lifting for you.

Give me those.

Oh, I'm okay.

Aw, you better listen to him.

He's not gonna let you out of his sight

for the next three months.

And finally, this is your room.

Hope you like it.

The bathroom's in there,

and extra towels, I think, are in here.

- It's nice. It's so big. - Thanks.

Robert and I added it on when we thought we were having a second child.

I guess maybe I never stopped believing

that this would be a baby's room again.

Well, now it will be.

Thank you.

I can't tell you how much this means to me and my family.

- Hey, you. - Hey, Mommy.

Hey, you remember Sully?

Of course. How's the bike riding going?

Okay. My dad wouldn't take off my training wheels.

My daddy wouldn't either,

but I'm sure he'll come around.

Yeah, don't be so sure.

Is that a baby in there?

Yeah, it's your baby brother.

Do you wanna feel?

Okay, maybe next time.

I don't feel him kicking now anyways.

All right, well, let's check your pump and get you some breakfast.

Okay.

Can I get you anything?

I could go for a giant bowl of ice cream.

Sorry. We don't keep a lot of sugary things in the house.

Because of her. She's diabetic.

But I'm sure I can find you something.

Oh, actually, I'm good.

Yeah. Just to warn you,

I'm one of those organic food people.

What can I say?

Ooh.

Oh, you okay?

Yeah. I think I need to rest.

Oh, okay.

- Hello? - We're in the guest room.

Charlie helps me at the farm stand. You'll love him.

Bridgette. Thank God you're finally here.

Maybe the boss lady will relax a little.

Yeah, don't count on it.

Did you see how many orders of pumpkin bread we got?

Work, work, work.

If I didn't love her so much, I'd kill her.

Okay, we're gonna leave you alone.

Great meeting you. You'll be seeing too much of me around here.

And you'll be seeing way too much of me.

I like her.

All right, we're suffocating you now.

Okay, bye.

Oh, Robert..

What a mess.

Was thinking of having Sully

help me out at the farm stand today.

Get her out of your hair and let you write in peace.

That would be great.

I could use the peace and quiet.

Oh, hi. Good morning.

Good morning.

I don't usually sleep in this late.

Oh, you can sleep as late as you want.

I'm sure you're really tired from yesterday.

I was out like a light.

That bed is so comfortable.

And it's so peaceful here.

So what can we get you?

Oh, don't bother.

I don't really eat breakfast.

Nothing? I can't make you some eggs?

Hot cereal? Anything?

Some coffee, but I'm not really hungry.

You have to eat for the baby as well.

You better listen to her.

She's bossier than her mother.

Okay, you win. What should I have?

Cereal. I bet cereal's good for babies.

Okay, cereal it is.

Don't indulge her. You'll never hear the end of it.

She'll give you more advice than a pediatrician.

So Sully and I are gonna go into town today.

I have a farm stand there.

Do you wanna go into town with us?

You should come!

You could work at the stand like me.

Ladies, let the girl rest.

How about this? We'll come into town later for lunch.

That's a good idea.

Meanwhile, you can get settled.

Yeah, I think that'd be better.

Plus, I saw you guys have a dock out there?

I'd love to go down there and read.

The dock is off-limits.

It's too dangerous.

All right. Well, we should get going.

Charlie likes to have help setting up.

Let's get your coloring books.

Okay.

Stay close to your mother.

Don't forget your emergency snack.

Okay. Bye, Bridgette.

Bye, Sully.

Hey, thanks for the advice.

So what did the publisher say?

They're fine with cutting that chapter, Robert,

but they're hoping for a late fall release.

I know. I'm working as fast as I can, Deb.

That's not why I called you, Robert, and you know it.

The answer is no.

Robert, we sell twice as many of your books

if you do a book tour.

I make enough, okay?

And I've said it a billion times. No more book tours.

Those days are over.

Why do you hate your readers?

I love my readers.

I just don't have the stamina to go on the road again,

especially after last time.

Oh, come on, Robert. You're not fooling me.

No one partied as hard as you did on the road.

Is that what that was? Partying?

I believe they have a clinical name for it.

If you recall, I blacked out last time.

Fine, so lay off the booze.

But you still have groupies,

and they want to see you.

Debbie.

Fine, I'm done. I will wait for the pages.

They want a corrected proof in a month.

Don't remind me. Bye, Deb.

Bye. Love you.

Come in.

I'm so sorry to bother you.

I was going to sit out on the patio in the sun,

and I was wondering if you have any sunblock in the house.

Sunblock? Yeah.

Oh, I did it. I'm totally bothering you.

No, no, no. It's just when I come in here,

I go to a different place, that's all.

The life of a writer. Wow.

It must get hard, Robert.

Hard?

It is sometimes.

Alone all the time.

Sunblock. Follow me.

Well, I know she keeps bug spray in here,

so I'm assuming we'll find sunblock.

Honestly, I could get rid of half this stuff

and I don't think anyone would notice.

Well, I found a box of Christmas lights.

Perfect. Oh, if you need gardening gloves,

there's a whole bag over here.

Oh, there's more stuff in here than my last apartment.

If you see bug spray, it should be close by.

Oh, here's bug spray.

Okay, it should be right by the bug spray.

I don't see it.

- Ah, sunscreen. - Awesome.

SPF-30. Is that enough?

Yeah, it'll do.

Well, if you need anything else,

batteries, lighter fluid, it should all be in here.

I'll keep that in mind.

- Coffee. - Oh, you're a lifesaver.

Gosh, we had a pretty good crowd this morning.

Yeah, best little farm stand in Storm Lake.

Hey, Robert's bringing Bridgette into town for lunch.

So what's she like?

She's quiet. You know, I think she's getting used to us.

And you just leave her alone in the house with Robert?

She's six months pregnant.

Some men like that.

How would you know?

Look, gay people live in the same world as everyone else.

She's not his type.

Oh, you're right. Men hate gorgeous women.

No wonder she got knocked up.

Charlie! I feel sorry for her, poor girl.

Look, you're doing a beautiful thing.

And knowing Robert, he's probably hiding in his attic

too afraid to even talk to her.

We should get going if you wanna do lunch in town.

I keep falling asleep.

Well, we don't have to go.

I could make you some lunch here.

Yeah, I think that might be better.

I just don't know if I'm feeling up to it.

I'll just text Sarah and let her know.

She won't be disappointed, will she?

Sarah? No. She never stops working,

and that's the way she likes it.

No...

I am. What do you think I'm doing?

I know, but these things take time.

Would you stop freaking out?

Bridgette? Hi.

Hi. Charlie.

Sarah and Robert's friend?

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

I was on the phone

and my mind was a million miles away.

Don't stress about it. I'm completely forgettable.

You getting your morning fix?

Yeah, I don't operate without my coffee.

Same. So how's life cooped up in the Benson mansion?

I love it. Robert is so nice.

Listen, you should really be careful.

Robert has a really violent temper,

and the police in this town have a 24-hour surveillance on him.

For what?

I'm totally kidding.

He's like the nicest man in the world.

Maybe a little reserved,

but everyone has their demons, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Can I feel?

- Oh. - I'm sorry.

- No, I'm sorry. - No, I'm sorry.

It's totally fine. It makes me uncomfortable.

Yeah, of course it would.

I mean, strangers coming up to you feeling your belly?

It's weird.

- Miss, large latte? - Yeah.

Charlie, leave my customers alone.

Don't get on her bad side.

She'll spit in your coffee.

Well, it was nice seeing you.

Yeah.

I'm sure I'll see you around.

Can't be avoided.

So, Bridgette, you've been here for a few days.

What do you think of our little town?

It's like a little dream town.

Everyone is so friendly.

I feel like I could live here.

We like it.

I had coffee at the little caf� in town,

and then I went into some shops.

It's tourist season right now.

People come here for the lake.

Robert hates them,

but I kind of like it when the town picks up.

I don't hate them.

I just don't like the big motors on the lake.

It's too loud.

Robert's trying to regulate

the size of the motor you can have on the lake.

It's a political thing,

and if you're not on Robert's side, you're an idiot.

Well, they are idiots.

I'm trying to help them save their town.

See, I think I prefer peace and quiet, too.

I had this boyfriend once

who had a really big loud boat,

and every weekend, we'd go up to this lake by us,

and he'd make me sit on the front in a bikini

just to show me off.

I knew how to pick 'em.

So you ran into Charlie today?

Yes, I did.

He's the best. He's been working for me for about four years.

I used to sell organic fruits and vegetables

out of the back of my truck,

and Charlie was the one that got me thinking bigger.

Sarah's about to open two new stands in nearby towns.

If this continues, I may be able to retire.

What would you do if you could retire?

Exactly what I'm doing now.

I'd write and make sure this little girl

has everything she needs.

Don't forget about my new baby brother.

You're right.

Sarah can work, and I'll stay at home with the two kids.

That sounds perfect.

Can I say something?

When I first got here,

I guess I was a little scared,

'cause this is really a big decision.

But you guys are so nice

and you really do have the perfect life.

I know my baby couldn't be in a happier place.

I can't tell you how happy you've made us.

And you're gonna have a perfect life, too, one day, I promise.

I hope it's in a town like this

with a family like yours.

You bet.

Okay, right there? Right there?

Yes. Okay. I'm gonna hold you to start.

Okay, I'm gonna let go in 1, 2, 3.

Okay, don't get too close to the road!

Sully!

Aah!

Dwayne?

So a girl's gotta be more careful, huh?

What are you doing here?

Oh, you know. I'm just checking up on my two favorite babes.

It's a nice house.

Yeah, well, you can't be here.

I told you to wait for me at the cabin.

Hey there, little girl. What's your name, hmm?

Dwayne, cut it out.

You have to go.

Okay, okay.

Now.

I'll see you soon.

Go.

It was nice meeting you.

Do you know that man?

Sort of.

He scared me.

I know, but he's gone now.

Men like that, you gotta be careful, Sully.

Most of them just want to use you.

Did you see?

I rode my bike without the training wheels.

I did, yeah.

But listen, if your daddy caught you, he would not be happy.

So how about we just make this

our little secret for a while, okay?

But I want to show him.

I know, but if he finds out you took the training wheels off,

he might take your bike away.

- He will? - Mm-hmm.

So don't tell anybody about the training wheels

or the man that was just here, okay?

Okay, but you can't tell anyone either.

Cross my heart.

Coffee break in 10 minutes?

Yeah. Can we make it five?

Hey, how's Bridgette working out?

She's really great.

She and Sully are practically best friends.

What does Robert think?

Um, I don't know.

He's been kind of a little shut down lately.

What do you mean?

It's like he's afraid or something.

Afraid of what?

Oh, everything.

Life, having fun, Sully.

He worries about her so much, I don't know what to do.

Well, maybe he should see a therapist.

Oh, you know Robert. He thinks therapists are for sick people.

Typical.

I really thought bringing Bridgette into the house

and adopting this baby

would sort of pull him out of it you, you know?

But it's almost like it's made it worse.

Even I've noticed that Robert's been a little off lately.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. I think he's just stressed.

Yeah, once we have the baby,

I feel like we'll all find some peace.

- Is that how it works? - Yeah, all right.

Go get your coffee, smart-ass.

Hello.

You startled me.

I was daydreaming.

I do that a lot.

Wishing you were on the lake?

Gosh, no.

Oh, sit.

The truth is, I'm actually afraid to get on the water.

Afraid?

Some years ago, Sarah had an accident.

Accident?

The dock broke.

She hit her head and fell in the water.

She was six months pregnant.

We lost the child.

You must have been so tortured.

The worst part is, I blame her.

I know it was an accident.

If she just hadn't acted so foolishly...

Yeah.

I just can't seem to get past that.

Sometimes I think I may never love her the way I used to.

It's funny. I've never told anyone that before.

Well, maybe you feel safe around me.

Maybe.

Robert, are you happy?

Happy? I'm not really sure.

Sometimes I am, I guess.

What about you? Are you happy?

I think soon I'll be very happy.

You really are a strange girl.

Hey, Charlie.

Good morning.

Coffee for me, decaf for Sarah.

You got it.

How's work today?

Charlie? Your coffees?

Oh.

You haven't turned the page in five minutes.

Is everything okay?

Everything's fine.

Okay.

I was in the pantry today

and I found an unopened box of chocolates.

It was probably a gift or something.

Come on, Sarah.

If Sully were to find that,

you know exactly what would happen.

Robert, what is going on?

You know the dangers of diabetic ketoacidosis.

And Sully knows not to eat candy unless we say it's okay.

You have to trust her.

She's six.

I cannot take this anymore, Robert,

with all this worrying.

Ever since you got back from your last book tour,

you've been completely shut down.

It is suffocating.

I've noticed it, Sully's noticed it.

Even Charlie said something to me about it.

What is going on?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Bridgette?

Sully!

Were you spying on me?

What's that?

This? It's nothing.

Why do you wear that?

Look, I have to tell you something,

but it needs to be our little secret.

Okay.

So some women, when they get pregnant,

they have big bellies and some don't.

I have a small belly.

Then why do you have that pretend one?

Because if I didn't,

your parents might not believe that I have a baby,

and I do have a baby.

- I can tell them. - No! No, no, no.

It's gotta be just between us, okay?

Just like your training wheels.

You don't want your dad to take your bike away, right?

No.

So that's why you can't say anything

or something really bad is going to happen.

Pinkie promise?

Pinkie promise.

Hey, I have an idea.

Oh, I just got a text from Bridgette.

Sarah asked me to take Sully to the farm stand.

She did?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. We'll see you at dinner?

Yep. We'll see you at dinner.

Bridgette?

"To Joni. Don't stop daring. "

It's Joni.

I didn't hear what you said.

Joni Mathers? I was at the reading.

Not here.

It'll be our little secret.

Bridgette.

Sully!

Sarah?

Robert? What are you doing here?

Sully! Where's Sully?

She's with Bridgette at the park.

She said you said it was okay.

I'll be at the park, okay?

Is everything okay?

And where were you, Mr. Benson?

Here in my house.

Sheriff, why aren't we out there looking for her?

You were in the house.

What made you go out looking for your daughter, Mr. Benson?

No reason. I'm just very protective of her.

It's not unusual, officer. He gets very worried.

Because of her medical condition.

Yes.

Sheriff, have you issued some sort of alert?

Are you putting up a roadblock?

Are you organizing any sort of search party?

We have people working on this, I can assure you.

I just want to get a clearer picture

of this woman Bridgette Gibson.

That may not even be her real name.

I'm sorry. Do you know something?

Well, no. What is there to know?

She's taken our child.

She's pregnant and we're adopting her baby.

We actually know very little about her.

She seems very nice.

I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding.

We're wasting time, okay?

Our child has been taken from us. She's out there.

She's sick and she's scared.

Is there any reason at all

for you to think of for Ms. Gibson

to want to take your child?

No. She seems to like us very much.

We like her. No.

Mr. Benson?

Huh?

Any reason she might want to take Sully?

No, I can't think of any.

Look, I'm tired of sitting around here.

I'm gonna go look for her myself.

Chief, we got a picture from the agency.

Okay, great. Let's get that out there.

Pass it along to the state.

This a current picture?

No, that's not her.

That's the wrong photograph. That isn't Bridgette Gibson.

We double-checked. That's Bridgette Gibson.

Is there any possibility that the woman

that's been living here is not Bridgette Gibson?

We should be long gone.

This is perfect.

Everyone's gonna think we're halfway out of the state by now.

Why are we still in the area?

I mean, we should be on our way

to Kansas City or something right now.

Just stop worrying, okay?

I'd feel a lot safer in a bigger city.

It's okay.

No one is gonna be looking for us

on this side of the lake,

so we stick to the plan.

What are you gonna say to her when she wakes up?

Leave it to me, yeah?

Hey.

Mm-hmm?

How rich are they, huh?

We will be getting crazy money.

Then we're out of here, right?

Yeah, just the way we planned it.

Hey, you don't think they're looking for us, right?

They don't even know you exist.

Oh, I can't wait to change.

I don't know. I kind of liked you with a big belly.

Please.

Just saying.

Don't start.

This is ridiculous.

Robert, please don't.

Sarah, come on. One drink.

I'm going crazy.

We can't just sit here.

There's nothing we can do.

Well, what are you doing?

I'm making a flyer.

I couldn't think of anything else. I don't know.

I'm gonna put them everywhere tomorrow.

I let you down.

I let everybody down.

Robert, please don't be so hard on yourself.

It's not helpful.

You don't understand, Sarah. I know her.

What?

I think I know her. Bridgette.

I was on a book tour, the last one.

When we lost the baby, I went crazy

and I said yes to every book tour.

I think it was a way for me to get rid of the memory.

And I drank.

I drank every night out on the road

because I hated myself.

I hated everything.

The accident...

It was like I was trying to kill myself.

And I hated you for falling that day.

Robert...

I slept with her.

You slept with Bridgette?

I was drunk. I was wrong.

I don't know what made me do it.

This morning, I went into her room.

I knew something wasn't right.

I found my book.

Inside I'd written a note to some girl named Joni.

And all of a sudden, it came flooding back.

I don't understand.

The picture the sheriff showed us

is probably the real Bridgette.

The girl who's been living with us is named Joni.

What does she want with us? Why did she steal Sully?

I don't know. Revenge?

How could you do this?

I don't have an answer. I was lost.

Why didn't you just talk to me?

Don't I matter?

Sarah, I did something that I can never take back,

and it consumes me every day.

I know you hate me, but I hate myself more.

If you think I hate you for cheating on me, you underestimate me.

I hate you for endangering our child.

My baby is out there without her medicine with a crazy woman

because of you!

You did this!

How could you do this to our family?

Hey, baby, how you feeling?

Your hair. You look different.

Do you like it?

I changed it.

Girls do that all the time.

Where am I?

We're at my friend's house.

We had so much fun last night.

Do you remember?

Where's mommy and daddy?

They had an emergency,

so they asked me to watch you.

What kind of emergency?

Their friend is sick

and he's in the hospital,

so they're gonna be gone for a few days.

Shouldn't we go home and wait for them?

No. I thought that you and I could play house here.

Me and you, all day.

Doesn't that sound fun?

My tummy hurts.

Yeah?

Okay, I'm gonna go get you something for your tummy.

You just stay here, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

I messed up.

Why? What's going on?

I should have grabbed her medicine

for her pump before I left the house.

Hold on. I can go get some medicine.

No, that's not going to work.

It's prescription, dummy.

Well, what's she got?

She's some kind of diabetic.

Oh, hell, my brother had that.

Yeah, it's low blood sugar.

We used to give him a couple candy bars

and he'd be good to go.

She doesn't look too good.

Well, seeing as how you can't go into town,

I guess I'll have to go get us some candy, then.

Thank you.

In the meantime, you call that daddy of hers

and tell him his little girl is sick

and needs his help, yeah?

Oh, and tell him to get his some money, too, huh?

So you saw this girl Bridgette get out of a truck.

What kind of truck?

Just a regular pickup truck.

What make?

I don't know.

Older. Not too old.

It was green and white.

You get a license plate number?

No. It happened really fast.

All right, tell me about the guy.

Um, he was scruffy.

You know, had a five o'clock shadow.

He was wearing jeans.

Maybe cowboy boots.

He was kind of handsome

in that redneck kind of way.

He was young, about her age.

She definitely knew him.

Why didn't you tell the Bensons

you saw Bridgette with a strange man?

Robert, Mr. Benson, would freak out.

He's a bundle of nerves.

You afraid of him?

Mr. Benson? No.

Has he ever been violent around you?

No. Look, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Mr. Benson might be a little cold,

but he'd never hurt Sully.

Well, from what I'm learning,

he's got an interesting past.

I just hope she's okay.

We'll find her.

Hello?

Sarah, listen, I'm headed toward the lake cabin.

- What? - I'm following a guy who I think may have Sully.

- Charlie, I cant... - Hello?

Really?

Looking for something?

Are you that stupid?

Babe, this only makes the decision easier.

Hey, let's just get the hell outta town.

No. We're sticking with my plan.

Hey, Charlie.

Sully better be alive.

Oh, she's alive.

Shut up, Dwayne.

Police are already looking for you.

They know all about your criminal friend here.

You've got a really big mouth, Charlie.

What are you gonna do, lock me up with Sully?

I can't afford that.

What are you gonna do?

I ain't gonna do nothing.

Well, Charles, you were right about two things.

She's insane and I'm a criminal.

No. No, please don't.

Simple words

Understand

I brace my mind

Crossed the line

I'm falling through

I'm falling through

We did some checking up with your adoption agency

to see if we can locate anyone

who might know Ms. Gibson.

Yes. I told you. Ellen Macy.

She's the one that did the background check.

Unfortunately, we're not gonna get much out of Ms. Macy now.

She's dead.

She's dead?

She was found in her apartment.

Police are still investigating.

Do you recognize this man, Mrs. Benson?

Uh, no. Should I?

He was spotted with Ms. Joni Mathers

by a friend of yours, Charlie Holmes.

His name is Dwayne Tisdale.

He's wanted in Texas

in connection with two murders down there.

What does that have to do with Bridgette... Joni?

Not sure yet.

Do you know where your husband is, Mrs. Benson?

He's out looking for her.

We had a fight.

Well, in light of what you told me about him and Joni,

is it possible that they're together right now?

Hey, are you sure this is a good idea?

You want your money, don't you?

What if we just call the dad and...

It has to be this way.

Yeah, but they're looking for you.

You feeling better, sweetie?

I don't feel good.

I know. I know.

Well, I'm gonna go rent us a boat

so we can get out on the lake, okay?

I think I need my medicine.

And we're gonna get some for you real soon.

But you need to eat some candy first.

It's gonna help you feel so much better.

Dwayne, the candy.

All right, just a few bites.

And then maybe you can try and sleep while I go rent us a boat.

Dwayne will be here the whole time.

My daddy won't let me go on boats.

Well, just because your dad is scared of the water

doesn't mean your dad and I can't go for boat rides.

And when you're older,

maybe I'll even let you drive.

But right now I need you to rest, okay, sweetie?

Hey! Hey!

What now, Dwayne?

Hold up. Come here. Come here.

What was that all about back there, huh?

- What? Boat rides? - What?

We're not keeping the kid.

Obviously. I was just trying to make her feel good.

You're a paranoid son of a bitch.

Hey, don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!

Come here!

You better not be messing around with me.

I'm in this for the money and nothing else.

Yeah, I'm gonna get you your money and my money.

You stay here with the girl

and you try and stay out of sight this time, okay?

Okay.

Sorry, I'm closing.

Please. I'll only be an hour.

Okay. Paddle board or canoe? What kind?

I saw that you guys had outboards out there.

Oh, you know how to run 'em?

How much is it?

50. Going fishing?

Here's 50.

Hello, Sarah.

Bridgette, What have you done with Sully?

- Please! - She's okay.

She's okay.

My God, you're not pregnant.

No, I never was.

Don't worry about Sully. She's fine. She's safe.

Bridgette, please, please tell me where she is.

You're never gonna see her again.

I'm her new mom now.

Robert and I are going to take her away.

Robert's with you?

Mm-hmm. He'll be here soon.

Do you know how crazy this sounds?

Don't call me crazy.

Bridgette, wait! Please.

Shut up!

You are pathetic.

The second I met you, I knew I didn't like you.

Your stupid fruit stand

and your organic vegetables.

Bridgette, please!

My name's Joni, by the way.

You need to know something, Sarah.

Robert doesn't love you.

He told me so.

He blames you for the accident.

And he loves me.

But why take Sully? What does she have to do with any of this?

That night...

That night when he was making love to me,

I got pregnant with his child.

I carried him around for three months, and I lost him.

And then right when I was feeling like a dirty little slut,

I turn on the TV and I see your face

and his face and his daughter's face,

and I didn't like that very much.

I hate you for stealing him away from me.

Bridgette, please. You're sick, okay?

Let me help you. Give me the gun.

I already told you my name's Joni.

This is perfect.

Sarah is so upset about losing her baby,

people are gonna think it's a suicide.

Just like Charlie.

Sarah?

Hello? Sarah?

Sarah?

Robert.

Bridgette!

No, you can call me Joni now.

Where's Sarah?

You don't have to worry about Sarah anymore.

It's fine. I have Sully.

Sarah?

No, no. Don't you get it?

You're free. We're free to be happy.

- What did you do to her? - I took care of her.

Where is she?

Robert, you're acting very strange.

Don't you get it?

We have everything, okay?

We can start our lives together.

This is what we always wanted.

What are you talking about?

You know what? I'm calling the police.

You weren't happy. You told me you weren't happy.

I don't understand you, okay?

Don't do that!

We don't have much time to get away. We have to get away.

Hello, yes, can I speak to Sheriff Watson, please?

Put the phone down!

Oh!

Oh, God.

Please don't make me shoot you again.

- Oh, you're sick. - No, I'm not.

Okay, Joni, put the gun down, all right?

Let's just talk about this.

You told me you didn't love her.

Tell me where Sully is, and we'll forget this ever happened.

I thought this is what you wanted. I don't understand.

Just put it down, all right?

- Aah! - Oh!

Robert!

No! I didn't mean to!

I didn't mean to.

We gotta go. Where is she?

Hey, you got the money?

Where is Sully?

She's in the bathroom. She's not feeling too good.

Oh, damn it. I forgot her medicine.

We have to clear out. Where's your gun?

It's on the table.

Hey, you got the money?

Sully, baby girl!

Hey, what happened?

I don't feel good.

I know. I know, baby.

Listen, baby, your daddy is dead,

but you and I are gonna be fine.

We have to go.

You screwed up, didn't you, huh?

You ain't got no money.

Hey, I told you what was gonna happen if you messed with me!

Now I'm taking the girl.

Let her go!

Yeah? Or what? Huh?

We weren't getting money out of this anyway.

It was about him the whole time.

It was about the husband.

Imagine a guy like that with a crazy whore like you.

I'm warning you.

What are you gonna do, huh?

What, are you gonna shoot her?

Are you gonna shoot me? Huh?

I said to let her go.

Yeah, I'll let her go,

as soon as I get my half a million.

- Aah! - Oh!

I want my mom!

You shot me!

Your mommy is already dead.

I'm your new mom now.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Sarah? Sarah?

Jesus! Sarah!

Sarah.

Sarah, breathe!

Sarah, breathe!

Oh, you're okay.

Robert, Robert, she has our baby.

I know. I know.

Charlie tried to tell me about the cabin.

Across the lake?

- Yeah. - Yes?

Robert, you're hurt.

It's my fault.

I blamed you for everything.

I was wrong. I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna go get her.

How?

Well, she won't drive back into town.

The only other way out of Storm Lake is across Mackinaw Bridge.

Robert, you can't.

Where are you taking me?

Somewhere safe, sweetie, where no one can get us.

I don't wanna go with you! You're mean!

Don't say that! I am not mean!

I am the only nice one!

Everyone else wants to hurt us.

Hands up!

Hands up.

Where's the girl?

The crazy bitch just took off

about 15 minutes ago.

Where were they headed?

I don't know.

Call for an ambulance.

She shot me and she's probably gonna kill that kid!

Dwayne Tisdale, you are under arrest.

She shot me!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used...

Daddy.

They're all the same.

Why do they have to hurt me?

No! You're gonna hurt him!

We don't need him!

No! You're gonna kill him!

Let go! I'm your new mother now!

You're not my mom!

Sully!

Daddy!

Sully?

It's okay.

It's okay. You're okay, all right?

I have your insulin in the boat, all right?

It's all over. Mommy's waiting for us.

You can't take her, Robert.

Joni, please, she's dying.

I need to give her her medicine.

You don't think I'm a good mother.

You think I'm nothing.

You used me, Robert.

You are never gonna use me again.

I'm taking her from you.

- Daddy... - It's okay.

Robert! I'm gonna shoot you both!

Daddy?

Robert!

- Listen to me. - I'm scared.

I'm scared, too,

but I need you to do something, all right?

Last chance, Robert!

Okay?

I trust you, okay?

Okay.

That's a smart choice.

We could have had everything.

We could have had a happy life together.

But you're a selfish coward

and a liar just like the rest of them!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Come here. Baby, come on.

Robert!

It's okay.

She sure loves that bike.

I told her she could ride into town tomorrow.

Look at you. Not a care in the world.

She can't be a baby forever.

At some point, you just have to trust her.

That is very wise. Some good parenting.

How'd I get so lucky?

Luck had nothing to do with it.

Well, whatever it was...

I love this song.

Come here, you.

We're gonna shake, shake

Sh-sh-sh-shake it

We'll be shaking all night long

We're gonna jump, jump, j-j-j-jump

Yes, we'll be jumpin' all night long

We're gonna bounce bounce, b-b-b-bounce

Yeah, we'll be bouncin' all night long

We're gonna bounce, jump, shake

Yeah, we'll be here all night

We're gonna fly, fly fl-fl-fl-fly

Yeah, we'll be flyin' all night long

We're gonna jitter, jitter, j-j-j-jitter

Yeah we'll be jittering all night long

We're gonna boogie, boogie

We'll be boogie-ing all night long

We're gonna boogie, jitter, shake

Yeah we'll be here all night

We'll be here all night
