Michael Scott Kelvin, what are you doing?

What the hell are you trying to do, kill us?

Christ!

Beth and I were just playing, Mom.

Mikey, you promised you wouldn't do this again, didn't you?

Beth wanted to see it.

Tell her, Beth.

Tell her it was your idea.

You stop trying to blame your sister.

Look at me.

You've ruined everything.

You clean up this mess right now.

We'll deal with your punishment when your father gets home.

Beth, come on.

I hate you!

You don't care about me!

You're not my real mom!

♪

Why didn't you tell her you did it?

Give me back Alice, Mikey!

She never punishes you!

Never ever!

Give it, Mikey!

-Give it! -You're my sister!

You should have been on my side!

-Give me! -You're not my real brother!

Mommy!

Mikey went outside without permission!

Give me back!

She's mine!

Make me...

Baby, come and get me!

Spikey, give me back my doll!

Come and get it.

I hope your doll likes to swim.

She's drowning Beth

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

I shouldn't even be thinking this, but

sometimes I think adopting him was a mistake.

I mean, I just don't know what would...

Joe?

Joanna?

These damn things.

Michael, what have I told you about knocking?

You don't love me anymore.

Of course I do.

Your father and I love you very much.

Then why do you always punish me?

Look, we'll talk about this when your father gets home, okay?

That just means I'm in trouble.

Mikey, put that down.

That's not funny.

Daddy's on his way home.

That's not a toy.

I know that.

Mikey, no!

It's time for a little-and-seek!

Oh

Hey, Chimp.

What have you been doing all day?

-Nothing. -Just waiting for you.

Where's your mom?

She's upstairs taking a bath.

Hey, you been playing baseball?

No.

Oh my God!

Who's she?

A neighbor.

Is it pretty bad?

Yeah, let's go

Looks like he saw his little girl in the pool and panicked.

Yeah, but the window didn't do that to his head.

Something like a-by-four did.

Grace Kelvin, age 32.

I'm fried.

This is it, Collins?

No.

There's one more.

It's my job to catch the guy that did this to your family.

Detective Reynolds.

Miss Harlig.

Always a pleasure.

You must be Mikey, right?

Come here.

I'm Mikey.

Mikey, Mikey, did you see anybody you didn't know hanging around?

Now's not the time for this, Jake.

You can do this later.

Katherine, would you knock it off?

He had bushy hair, a mustache, and a red jacket.

You did see him, then.

I came home from the park.

He was running out of my house, and he got in his car and drove away.

Well, what did the car look like?

It was big and brown.

Is that all?

You know, you've been a big help.

Thanks, sport.

Reynolds, the coroner's about done.

They're dusting now, then they'll seal it off.

You know, there was nothing stolen.

We've got bodies separated so far apart.

What do you say?

It's like the victims knew the killer.

I'm gonna go take a bath now.

You watch Beth for me.

Okay, Mommy.

I'm home, everybody!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Hey, champ, whatcha been up to?

Waitin' for you.

Where's your mom?

In the bathtub.

Well, I'm going to go up and see her.

Who's that, Mikey?

I don't know.

A stranger.

Have you seen him before?

No.

Mommy doesn't know who he is.

I have to go outside.

Why do you have to go outside?

I'm not supposed to see what happens.

And what's that?

It's going to do something to my family.

Killed him.

How do you feel about that man?

I hate him.

I hate him.

-I hate him. -I hate him.

I hate him. I hate him.

I've just had my final session with Michael Kelvin.

He was going through a great trauma and

there's still quite a bit of emotional scarring.

Are you sure he's ready to leave?

I believe so.

I'd suggest you get him placed with adoptive parents as quickly as you can.

Mikey just needs a good stable home.

I'm not a blood relative.

You're his mother's sister.

That kid was adopted.

Are you positive?

Michael hasn't said anything to any of us about being adopted.

They took him away from his real parents.

He was abused or something.

I don't know.

Gracie never really knew for sure.

Kelsey, I know that the last few days have

been very difficult for you, but you're all he has.

You know that your sister would have wanted you to...

-I'm not taking him. -Not a chance.

Why not?

Look, you can't make me take that kid, can you?

No, I can't.

Good.

Then kiss him goodbye for me.

God, I hate her.

I hate coming here, no matter what time it is.

You're always late.

Jesus, there's something wrong with this damn flash.

Come on. We're not going to need the damn flash if we miss it.

Oh, son of a bitch, there it is.

You know, you're gonna have to start watching your language from now on.

I'm just a mother.

Mikey, this is the Trends.

Are you my new mommy and daddy?

-Go on. -Oh, Mikey, here's a present.

Thanks, Mr. Trenton.

It's great.

You don't have to call me Mr. Trenton.

What do you want me to call you?

Fascinating.

Rachel, there is no fourth stage of development in the Loeffler book.

Yes, Ms.

Gilder.

I wonder what the prize is.

Probably something dumb.

Hey, I know a shortcut.

Huh?

Both my parents love me.

My mom loves me.

So why don't you have a dad?

He died.

Did you see him die?

No, he died in the hospital.

Did you touch him?

Not bad.

Maybe we have another Christopher Columbus on our hands.

What's a swimming girl mean?

I was just looking that up.

Here, a person swimming is symbolic of a

desire for freedom, a feeling of being caged.

Maybe the parents need to loosen their grip a bit.

God, are we being overbearing already?

Come on, honey, don't make fun of me.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

Oh, howdy.

Nice.

It's a little weird, but who did it?

-You? -Mikey Trenton.

So?

So he told us to come to you with any sign of a psychological problem.

Yeah.

So according to all the literature I've been

reading, Mikey could be suffering from unattached syndrome.

Unattached syndrome?

I never heard of it.

It's psychotic behavior.

I'm sorry.

I hope I'm not being rude, but how long have you been a teacher?

Two years.

And, um, you're sure of what you're saying?

No, I'm not sure, but I certainly think

it's something to be wary of, don't you?

Well, so do I, but I don't think you should be an alarmist about it.

Look, I was a-year-old kid once myself.

I used to do drawings like this, but I'm not psychotic.

I like monster movies, especially like Godzilla, you

know, the one with the fire coming out of his mouth.

So why do you encourage us to read this if you're not gonna take it seriously?

I encourage you to read it, yes.

I don't encourage you to take every word literally.

So you're not gonna do anything about this?

I'm not gonna do anything right now.

I think it's a little premature.

Guess experience knows, huh, champ?

winds up, throws the fastball,

Kelvin swings, strikes!

maybe Mikey should see a child psychologist.

Christ, I made a picture just like this when I was a kid.

may be, suffering from an emotional disorder called unattached syndrome.

If anything, he's brighter than other kids.

It's not a question of whether he's bright or not, Rachel.

-No. -No!

I can't believe that Shawn is doing this.

Well, she thinks she's doing her job.

Well, I don't want him around her, okay?

I am going to pull him from her class.

Come on, let's don't overreact.

Hey, get it back!

How would you like to be his parent?

Where are my baby fish?

Mr. Michelson bought them for his aquarium.

But they were mine!

Honey, they were all grown up.

It was time for them to have their own home.

But they were mine!

You have no right to sell them!

Mikey, what's wrong with you?

They were mine!

They were mine!

Calm down.

They were only fish.

You don't care about how I feel.

-You don't love me. -I hate you!

I hate you!

Calm down. Stop it. When your daddy gets home, we'll talk about it.

He's not my real daddy.

You're not my real mother.

I hate you. I hate it here.

I wish I never met you.

Mikey, wait!

I'm sure there's an explanation.

If we could just get him to talk.

I don't know.

Maybe they're right.

About what?

Maybe we should take him to see a shrink.

Look, honey, if we can just be patient, I think we can handle this.

We both love Mikey, right?
