He doesn't even know I'm alive.

Poor

Tara.

Heat

up

>>

>> Heat up

here.

>>

>> No, no

heat.

>>

>> You and daddy only have to have coffee.

How come I have to eat all this? Because

it's good for you. Dr. Levit says

>> Dr. Levit has bad breath. Why can't we

go to see Dr. Linquist? He lives right

next door.

>> Is that where you were this morning?

Tara, I have told you not to go over

there. We don't know those people.

>> I know them.

Almost.

Eat your breakfast.

Tara,

>> if you take your vitamins, I'll take you

shopping with me.

>> Well, how about just to see the green

ones taste? I eat your vitamins. All

them. Do it now.

>> You don't have to do that. You know,

>> I want to do it.

>> Honey, we need a housekeeper. This house

is too big for you to take care of.

>> No, it isn't. I can do it.

What else do I have to do all day?

>> You have a daughter.

>> She pays absolutely no attention to me.

Jeff, I've told her over and over again

not to go next door. She was there this

morning. Maybe she'll listen to you.

>> Oh, come on, honey. There's no reason

why she can't make new friends.

Jeff, tell her

>> late.

Do as your mother says.

Have a good day, honey.

I'll call you later.

I hate to wait for people. Don't you?

Come on, Abby. Let's go for a little

ride.

Sarah.

How many times have I told you you're

too young to drive the car? You're going

to get hurt one of these days.

>> Mom, I think I'd rather stay home.

Don't you feel well?

>> Oh, I'm fine. There's a movie on at

11:00. I just remembered you in your

movies. Honey, come shopping with me.

Come on.

>> I'd really rather stay home.

>> All right. Only if you're going to stay

in the house and not answer the door. Do

you promise?

>> I promise.

>> I'll be as quick as I can.

>> No out. All right. All right.

Yeah.

Heat.

>>

>> Hello, Tara.

>> How'd you know my name?

>> I've seen you before.

I'm Joanna.

Are you real?

Oh, very much so.

Do you live around here?

No.

Across the water over there?

I don't know very many people yet. We

just moved here.

What about the boy over there, Scotty?

He's 16.

So,

I'm only just 12.

I'm 18.

Ancient.

Tell me about your family. My father's a

dentist in Seattle. He takes the burial

every morning.

We just moved from Chicago, so I don't

know very many people yet, except for

Scotty. Mom's already yelled at me for

being over here today, but I like

Scotty.

Come on, let's go meet him.

>> Hi, Scotty.

>> Hello, Tara.

I don't think we've met.

>> This is Joanna.

>> You handle the boat beautifully. Is she

yours, too?

>> Oh, no. That's my grandfather's book.

Would you like to take a look?

>> Yeah.

This is neat.

Heat. Heat.

Hey, I'll take you guys out on the boat

whenever you want.

>> Tara, the phone. Oh, no. It's my mom.

>> Will you really take us out on the boat?

>> Oh, yeah, sure.

stopped before I could answer it. She'll

be on her way home now. Go up to your

room. Turn the TV sound really loud. You

didn't hear the phone.

>> Thanks.

Will I see you again?

>> Oh, yes. I'll be back.

Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> It's all right.

Just relax.

>>

>> I'll take care of you.

>> Mrs. Benedict,

Mrs. Benedict, can you hear me?

I'm Dr. Linquist from Next Door. We met

once before, remember? I'd like to check

your reactions.

Tara, where's Tara? She's downstairs

with Scotty. Everything's fine now. Just

relax.

>> Does that hurt?

>> No.

>> And then Doc carried her upstairs and

Joanna called the police department in

the tow truck while Scotty and I put

away the groceries. And then Joanna made

dinner. It was good, wasn't it? She's a

good cook. And then she called the

insurance company after finding the

papers in the glove compartment. She

asked them to do their body work and

they said A1 Body Shop and they'll be

ready to start on the car Friday

morning.

>> Who is Joanna?

>> She's a girl I met this morning.

>> Well, she certainly has been very

helpful. Where is she now?

>> Well, she left after making dinner, but

she'll be back soon. Dad, did you stay

home tomorrow?

>> We'll see how your mother is.

Thank you, sweetheart.

I told your father to go to work, honey.

I'm all right. I still think you're more

important than his rotten patience.

I'll get it.

See, I told Daddy she'd come back. This

is Joanna.

>> This is Benedict. How are you feeling?

>> I'm fine, thank you. I can't tell you

how grateful I am.

>> I'm just glad I could be of use. Is

there anything you need?

>> No. Sit down, please.

Have some coffee with me.

Well, um, do you live around here?

You must be out of school this summer. I

graduated high school 6 weeks ago. I've

been living with the family for 2 years,

taking care of them while I finish

school.

They decided to go to Europe for the

summer. And since help's so easy to find

over there, they

they threw you out.

>> That doesn't seem fair.

>> No, maybe not.

But I get to live in the house until I

find another job. I had an interview

yesterday. In fact, I was on my way

there when I saw your car.

>> Did you get the job?

>> I was rather late, I'm afraid.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's my fault. Um, what is it that you

do? Maybe my husband could help you.

>> I cook, clean, keep house, that sort of

thing. Just until I get to college in

the fall.

There are plenty of jobs in the city,

but I'd rather not leave the island. I

love it here.

What about your parents?

They're dead.

Would you like to work here?

>> Oh, you're you're very kind. I I don't

think so. You see, I I have an interview

this afternoon.

>> Oh, I see.

Well, I it would really be very helpful

to me. And Tara needs the company.

I wish you'd think about it.

I

>> I will. Thank you.

>> You did what?

>> I offered her a job.

Well, you said yourself I could use some

help around here.

>> Tara likes her, and I honestly don't

think she has any place else to go.

>> We know nothing about her. It's crazy.

Bringing a total stranger into your

house.

>> We used a babysitting agency in Chicago.

We didn't know anything.

>> They didn't come and live with us.

>> You're the one who's always saying we

should have a housekeeper.

Well, I've got one.

I like her and I want her for Tara.

>> For Tara?

>> Yes, Jeff. She She has to be with

someone closer to her own age.

I just can't cope with her all the time.

Jeff, she's beginning to run wild.

>> That's all right for you. You're not

You're not here all day,

>> right? You want to get Tara off your

hands till you don't hire some strange

girl off the street.

It's not that I want Tara off my hands.

I'm just angry because I didn't ask you

first.

Oh,

hi. Hello.

How did the interview go?

>> I didn't get the job. I was wondering.

>> Oh, I'm sorry.

up. Come here,

Jeff.

This is Joanna.

Hello, Dr. Benedict.

>>

>> I have to go now.

They seem like very nice people in my

new family.

So, don't worry about me.

It's only for the summer.

And I promise I'll be here when you get

home.

Thank you for everything.

I hope you have a lovely time.

Please

take care of yourselves.

Nice fresh bagel. My favorite.

Here you go.

>> If you need anything else, I'll take

Mrs. Benedict's tray up.

>> Joanna, this is good. This is really

quite good.

>> Thank you.

>>

>> Joanna, I've done it again. Great job.

>>

>> watch too much television.

>> Oh, but this is when the guy gives this

girl the horse.

>> Nothing wrong with me. I hate walks.

>> Go on, touch him. Touch him. Come on.

It's not so bad. See?

>>

>> Heat. Heat.

>>

>> Snakes.

>> You're kidding. She used to scream with

terror every time she saw one.

>> Well, she spends most of her time

outside now, either with Scotty or

Joanna.

If there's nothing else, Mrs. Benedict,

I'll go to bed now.

>> Don't you have a boyfriend waiting for

you somewhere, Joanna? You've been here

3 weeks. You haven't gone out one night

yet.

>> I'm very happy here, Dr. B.

>> Good night. Good night.

>> Good night.

>> She has the same list, does she?

>> Oh, come on. Admit it. She's a dream

come true. She cooks like an angel. She

runs the house without effort. And she

vanishes into her room every night at

8:30.

>> Yeah, but you got to admit it's odd for

a girl her age never to go out.

She's not exactly home.

I thought you'd notice that.

>> Well, let's just be grateful that we

found her.

>> Or she found us.

Have you ever wondered how she just

appeared that day?

>> Who cares? As long as she's dead.

Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> Sarah,

what are you doing out here? I told you

I DON'T.

>> SHE WANTS ME TO DIE. I can't

hard.

>> She doesn't swim well enough.

>> JOANNA,

WHERE DID you go?

>> Joanna, I want you to go in and get her

right now. She can do it.

Go out to the lighthouse.

It's too far.

Please, please stop her. Mrs.

Benedictara has no discipline. She's

totally spoiled.

Take your time.

Deep breaths.

Calm down.

NOW, COME ON BACK.

Look at her.

She can't make it. She can.

>> SORRY. YOU'RE FANTASTIC. Come on, baby.

Come on, baby. Come on.

That's enough for the day.

Oh, Liz, this is fantastic.

Come here. You've been ignoring me all

evening. Liz, where did you get that

incredible girl? And the furniture looks

100% better. Wonder Girl did that, too?

I hate her. She's gorgeous.

>> Pretty little thing, isn't she?

>> Silence things up, huh? Where did you

find her?

>> Somewhere on the island. Doc, can I get

you something?

>> No, no.

Had a long talk with Chantrell last

night. Yeah, seems there's a

chance you might make the dental

association board this year.

>> Oh, you're kidding. I thought you had to

be an original settler to get on the

board.

>> Listen, like everything else, it's not

how long you've been around.

>> So, you know, right? I guess no young

adult needs to stick together.

>> You don't qualify for young adult

status.

>> So, uh, whereabouts did you live on the

island before?

>> I was around Seattle for a while before

I came back and then up in Scadget

County on a farm.

Is there something I can get for you,

doctor?

>> I don't think so. Thank you.

>> A

that drink now?

>> Oh, of course. Just a soda

coming right up.

Soda. I was thinking about that girl.

Didn't she tell Liz that she'd worked

here in the neighborhood before she came

to you?

>> Mhm. The family across the bay, they

went to Europe, left her behind.

And she was telling Scotty that she

lived in Seattle before that before that

on a farm.

No, of course I don't expect you

to remember them all. Uh, but this girl

graduated in June.

Her name is Red Wine.

Joanna Redwine.

I see. And uh there's no way that you

can check.

All right. All right. Thank you very

much.

>> Marilyn, you can send in Mrs. Baker now.

>> It's your wife again, doctor. On two.

>> Are you coming home for dinner or not?

Yes, I'd like to know now

because Joanna needs to know how many

people will be sitting down to dinner.

Well, I'm terribly

Don't be so unreasonable.

Well, I'm sorry, Jeff. I won't bother

you again. Would salad be all right for

dinner?

Something light?

Whatever you want.

My husband will be late tonight.

What?

You love me. I can help you.

It doesn't matter.

Mom, what's wrong?

Excuse

me.

Oh,

thank you.

Uh,

I don't drink.

>> Why not?

>> Uh,

I don't do it very well.

I don't do a lot of things very well.

>> Tell me.

>> Tell you what,

that I don't cook very well. That I

don't drive very well. That I don't

That I'm a rotten mother.

that my marriage has been a disaster for

years.

I can't blame him for not wanting to

come home.

I haven't had a drink in over a year.

You see, this is my new start.

Take her away from the mess she made in

Chicago.

Give her a big house to play with.

That'll keep her occupied.

And above all,

don't let her drink around your friends.

Liz,

I don't think alcohol is the problem.

My husband does.

>> I think you need a focus in your life.

I think you need some encouragement,

someone to share things with.

Most of all,

I think you need to change your attitude

toward yourself.

I can help you do that.

>> I'm years older than you.

I've never been so

so self-confident.

Maybe it comes

from not having anyone,

only having myself to worry about.

Doesn't really matter.

What matters is you.

It's okay, Liz.

Go on.

See,

everything's going to be fine.

Oh, there you are. I What?

>> Hello?

>> Oh my god. You must have bought out the

store.

>> Whatever happened to Hello?

>> Whatever happened to our bank account?

>> I'm really very sorry, Dr. Benedict, I

tried to stop her. It was so expensive.

>> Thank you, T. I appreciate the thought.

>> He has a girlfriend in Seattle. Did you

know that?

>> He denies it.

I'm sure you've noticed he's been

>> missing the last fairy a lot lately.

Yes, I have.

But I'm sure we can do something about

that, can't we?

>> Hello.

>> Hi, it's Mrs. McGomery.

>> I I'm sorry. Mrs. Benedict is out right

now. Can I take a message?

>> Tell her I'll see her for tennis in the

morning.

>> All right. Thanks.

Mrs. Montgomery can't make your tennis

date tomorrow morning. Did you want to

talk to her?

>> It's the third time she's canled.

>> Would you mind if I took the evening

off? There's a movie in town I'd really

like to see.

>> Of course not. Take the car if you want

to.

>> Thanks. I won't be late.

>>

>> Are you coming to bed?

>> No.

Honey, aren't you being silly?

She's an 18-year-old girl.

She can certainly take care of herself.

Come on to bed.

>> I don't want to go to bed, Jeff.

I'm going to wait up for Joanna.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Wake up.

>> Did you want to get home? Is she all

right?

>> No, she didn't get back.

>> What's this?

It's

>> a glass.

And yes, it had alcohol in it. And yes,

I drank it.

Joanna says there's no reason that I

can't have a drink occasionally.

>> Joanna says Joanna wasn't in Chicago

when it was a fifth of scotch a day.

>> I don't understand it. She would have

called. There must have been an accident

or something. I'm going to call the

police.

>> You are not.

I want to talk to you.

She's running your life. She spends more

time with you than she does with Tara.

Why is she so important to you?

Why

are you listening to an 18-year-old girl

telling you that you can drink? You know

you can't clink.

Well, it's about time. My wife has been

up all night worrying about you. If you

plan to do this in the future, you

better start looking for another job.

>> I'm sorry I made you worry.

I I changed my mind about the film and

went into Seattle instead.

It got kind of late to call.

See, I missed the last ferry.

But if you'd rather I leave, then of

course.

>> No,

I don't want you to leave. Why should

she leave? You stay late a lot. And

you're still here,

>> Tara. Well, it's true. Joanna is the

best thing that's ever happened to this

house. And you're just jealous cuz mommy

and I think she's great.

Maybe he's right.

Maybe I don't belong here.

>> Joanna, I think I'm quite capable of

making that decision.

And I'd like you to start breakfast,

please.

Check.

Checkmate.

Beautifully played. Once again, the

pupil surpasses the master.

>> Well, at least you don't let me win like

you used to.

No more

>> counting my dreams again. Jeff,

>> I'm having a good time. And you want to

ruin it again?

>>

>> Maybe I should take Liz home.

>> She won't leave until the party's over.

>> She can't drink. She's an alcoholic.

I'm

>> sorry.

>> Well,

it's getting late.

Let it go.

>> Thank you for a lovely evening.

>> Why don't you like me?

>> I don't know,

but I find your manipulations

fascinating.

>>

>> We're probably the first family.

>> I I think it's

>> Excuse me.

It's so good.

>> I think it's time that we went home.

>> I'm talking to Doc.

Go. I'll see you.

>> All right.

Thanks, Doc, for everything. Good night.

>> Good night.

>> Yeah.

How's it see you?

>>

>> Do you like it?

>>

>> That belongs to my wife.

>> I think it looks better on me, don't

you?

Of course, that's unfair.

She's trying so hard to be attractive to

you.

But it doesn't seem to be

working very well, does it?

>>

>> You shouldn't be here.

>>

>> She's told me about your problems. You

know,

all of it

seems such a waste.

>>

>> Get out.

>> If you spend a little more time around

here,

you make everyone happy.

Don't worry.

I'll put it back.

She'll never know.

>> Nobody would ever know.

Joanna,

what's

nothing?

It's nothing.

Tell me.

I don't know how to.

Last night

when you were still at the party,

your husband,

I was getting ready for bed

and he came into the room.

No, nothing happened really, Liz.

He'd been drinking and um

But you don't think that I'd let him?

No.

No, John.

I'm so sorry.

Liz,

perhaps I should leave.

>> No,

no, I I won't let you leave.

We consider 18 no longer legally defines

as a child except in special cases.

Also, we would need written

authorization from the subject herself

in order to release the information.

>> I am looking for Joanna Red Wine. How

could I possibly get her to sign a

release if I don't know where she is?

Well, I will concede that you do have a

problem there, doctor. And there's no

information you can give me. If you'll

excuse me, my phone.

Oh yes, Mr. Ellis.

Mr. Ellis,

I was calling you about those

reimbursement forms you have not filed

with our office for the past 3 months.

Now, surely you must realize that there

can be no no compensation to you unless

we receive them. Good. I will see you at

5.

We are not able to help you anymore.

Thank you very much.

>> Mrs. Wilford,

>> that's right.

>> My name is Linquist. I'm a doctor.

I wonder if you'd mind talking to me

about a patient of mine, Joanna Red

Wine.

>> What do you want?

>> I understand she fostered with you a few

years ago.

>> Did she tell you to come here?

>> Not exactly.

>> You are her

doctor.

Stay away from her. Send her to someone

else. If you don't, you'll regret it.

>> Would you please tell me exactly what

happened? It's very important.

She murdered my baby.

Oh,

they couldn't prove it. They They said

it was a crib death, but but it wasn't.

She did it. Joanna did it. I'll never

believe any differently. Excuse

me, sir.

>> The poor woman obviously believed it. So

I spent the afternoon at the library

going through old newspaper files and I

found it.

Just two small paragraphs.

Mrs. Wilford's baby did die and she did

accuse Joanna.

>> And did the police charge Joanna?

>> No, they didn't.

>> But

>> there are no butts. I would think that

you'd have better things to do with your

time than spread malicious rumors about

an 18-year-old girl. Excuse me.

>> I'm sorry, Doc.

I I kind of agree with her. Why are you

doing this? I have this feeling about

the girl. I I may be wrong, Jeff. And

I'm sorry. Let's forget it.

We're taking the boat out on Sunday.

Would you care to join us?

>> I'll check with Liz.

We're going to miss you.

>> I doubt that.

>> Hey, you're the one that's offended.

He's just trying to make peace. Least

you could do is meet him halfway.

>> Doc is not the reason that I'm not

going. All right.

>> Let's go.

That's very

>>

>> You made love to her that night, didn't

you?

Were you thinking of me?

really ridiculous.

>> Am I?

>> I don't believe you think that.

>> You're just a child.

I was never a child.

>> Doesn't matter, Jeff.

I'd be good for you.

Really?

>> Come on.

Oh, I got something. I got something.

Scotty, help me. I'm going to lose it.

Hang on. Get the net.

Get it, Scotty.

>> AND A BOY. LOOK AT THIS.

HERE.

Swap on the head.

Harder. Come on.

>> I can't.

>> Here. Just give it to me.

>>

>> Yes, Mrs. Leaven, I understand that you

can't give me the information, but when

is Mr. Baragut coming back from

vacation.

Uh the fact is I'm not sure that I

explained clearly why I'm so anxious to

get a hold of Miss Red Wine. I have

certain information.

Oh, something in the nature of a

request. Yeah. Oh, it's very very good

news for her. Yes. So, I wondered if Mr.

Farragut could clear it with his

superiors to give me the address of the

last place she fostered.

Yes. Well, that is very kind of you,

>> Liz. This is important to me. I'd like

you to go to the party. I'd like you to

stay sober and I'd like you to behave

yourself.

>> I don't want to go. I don't care if you

get on the board or not. And I certainly

don't care with Barbara and Tom.

>> Well, that's pretty obvious. You can

three dates with Barbara in two weeks.

She's just trying to be friendly, that's

all.

>> Friendly? She's the one who canceled,

not me.

>> Oh, come on. You know that's not true.

>> Are you calling me a liar?

>> Barbara said she called three.

>> Barbara said.

>> Yes, Barbara said.

>> And you believe her. I'm your wife.

>> Then why don't you try behaving like

one?

>> That's all he cares about.

His success.

What people think of him.

Doesn't give a damn about me.

>> I think you should go to the dinner.

Why?

Why not

be bright, witty, charming, totally

stunning, pull them over?

Besides, you might have a lot of fun.

Fun with those awful people.

Think about it.

You may have an idea there.

Maybe I will go.

Liz, I almost forgot. Tara wants to have

Scotty and a couple friends over some

evening to play records. That's all.

>> Fine as long as you're here.

So catch me now

cuz I might not be here tomorrow

night. Catch me now. If you

feel there's something you just

have to say. Catch me now cuz I might

not be here tomorrow night.

Catch me now

before I fade away.

>>

>> Don't you think it's time to put the

baby to bed?

>> I think that's a very good idea.

Time has made the man you see before you

now.

And time alone can change

what time has done.

Since I can't find a way to change the

past somehow,

I have to change the things that

I've come.

Tara,

what are you doing down here? Go back to

bed.

What are you complaining about?

>> I behaved.

>> I will not go through this again.

Chicago was enough.

>> I was magnificent. Even Tom said so.

>> Sitting on the edge of my seat. I didn't

know what you

What is this,

Joanna?

They had a party.

>> I said they could. Teenagers have

parties, you know.

>> Parties. Take my wife out for the first

time in months. I'll do this.

>> Could you stop being so miserable?

>> Half the liquor is gone. And you know

they were smoking.

My god, Liz.

Tara's only 12 years old. She's just a

baby. I thought Joanna had more SENSE

THAN THIS. JOANNA.

GET DOWN HERE.

>> Why don't you just go on up to her room

again?

I'm sure she's in bed by now.

>> And what's that supposed to mean?

>> You know precisely what it means.

>> No, I don't know what it means. And I'm

sick and tired of your innuendo. I'm

going to put a stop to it right now. She

leaves tomorrow morning.

>> If you have any idea of firing Joanna,

forget it. If she leaves, I leave. And

so does Tara. You throw 15 years of

marriage away because that girl.

>> Oh, come on. We haven't had a marriage

for years. EVER SINCE TARA WAS BORN.

>> EVER SINCE TARA WAS BORN. She's been the

only important thing in your life.

>> Well, she's certainly not important in

yours. And neither am I.

>> She's my daughter, and you're not going

to take her away from me.

>> You don't even know, Tara.

>> I don't know what to do.

I wish I had the guts to leave him.

So leave.

I can't.

It's too late to start over now.

So leave for a few days.

Might get his attention.

Let him try to do without you for a

while.

You mean go to a motel or something?

Not tell them where I am.

>> Sure.

Drive up the peninsula,

find a quiet place,

stay a couple days.

I'll take care of Tara

and him.

Liz,

you need some time alone.

You've got to sort out your thoughts,

and you can't do that here.

You're right.

I am going to go. Are you going away?

Uh,

yeah,

just for a little while.

But you're coming back.

Of course I am, honey.

It's just for a few days. Okay, I'll let

you out. I know where I am.

>> What? Why is she going?

>> She had a fight with your father and

she's going away for a while.

>> They've had fights before and she never

left.

>> That's because I wasn't here.

Now, Tara, as soon as your mother

leaves, I want you to go upstairs and

clean their room.

>> That's your job.

>> Don't bother running to tell her. She

suggested it.

I want you to do it, Tara.

I don't feel very well. I'm going to

bed.

You'll feel better in the morning.

So why?

I hate Rabbi. I hate her. I wish she'd

never come.

Why can't they see?

>> It was over you. the fight.

>> I'm flattered, but that's not entirely

true.

She seems so lonely all the time.

Lonely.

Maybe you're right.

I thought this house, the

seclusion was what you wanted. Maybe I

just wasn't listening.

strange. You know, two things that I

I've really loved

have been my job and my family.

I'm really good at what I do. Do you

know that?

And I'm proud of it.

Liz doesn't care.

stopped caring years ago.

Lonely.

Yeah,

I have left her alone.

I

thought that's what she wanted.

Who do you talk to?

I'd like it if you talk to me,

Jeff. I need someone like you.

Tara, go get the liquor. They're on the

grouper.

>> Don't tell me what to do. Do as you're

told or you won't come with us.

>> Hey, what's wrong?

>> Nothing.

>> Can I see you later?

>> Not tonight, Scotty.

Maybe tomorrow.

>> Hey,

>> you said that yesterday and the day

before. What did I do?

>> You didn't do anything. Now get off my

back. Okay.

>> Hey, if you'd rather not go sailing,

then we won't.

>> Don't be silly. Besides, someone has to

shaper on you and

put THIS ON. OH, WHY DO I HAVE TO wear

one of these?

>> You don't swim as well as

him. Please help him. Joanna, help him.

Ensure in certain hope of the

Lord Jesus Christ. We commend to

Almighty God our brother Scott. And we

The Lord bless him and keep him.

and be gracious unto him.

The Lord lift up his countenance upon

and give him peace. Amen.

>> So, John, it it wasn't your

fault.

There's nothing to eat.

All my plants are dead, Tara.

Everything is dead in this house.

Death and dying.

Poor Scott.

Poor babe.

Poor Doc.

Where's Joanna?

I wish she was dead, too. What a

terrible thing to say, Tara.

>> You're supposed to take care of this

house. You're supposed to COOK AND

CLEAN. THAT'S what you paid for. There's

nothing to eat and everything's ALL

DIRTY. BE QUIET. I WON'T. I WON'T BE

QUIET. I HATE YOU. I WISH YOU'D GO AWAY.

STOP IT. Stop it.

You

go away. Just go away. Leave me alone.

I don't want this.

I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO COME HERE.

I NEVER THIS HOUSE. IT'S ALL my

somebody else and you like somebody.

Pretend you're a wonderful wife.

One lie after another.

I I can't do this.

Mama,

please don't. Mama. Mama.

She's going crazy.

What now?

>> Oh, she'll be all right.

She doesn't

drink anymore or pop any pills.

She'll be all right in the morning.

Jeff,

please stay home for a few days.

Don't leave.

I am so tired.

Everyone's asleep

except us.

Tara, finish polishing the table for

you. You got to go to the store.

>> Polish it yourself.

>> I talked to your mother this morning.

They want to send you away to school.

She asked me what I thought. I said I'd

think about it.

Well, I'm thinking about it. Tara,

the police are at Doc's house. They've

come to get you. And when they ask me,

I'm going to tell them that you let

Scotty drown.

I can't find out anything about her. You

can.

Doug, you watched Scotty grow up.

>> Doc,

I'd like to help you, but I don't know

what I can do. Why don't you give it a

couple of weeks and get over the worst

of it? Then maybe

>> maybe what?

>> You're not listening to me.

There is something wrong with that girl.

Oh, forget it. Thanks for coming by. I

appreciate it.

Dr. Linquist,

>> I have to talk to you.

>> I'm sorry, Doc.

Are you

>> I realize how you feel,

but just for a moment, couldn't you turn

it around?

It's very hard for me to come to you.

You know a little about me.

You know, I was fostered.

The Welffords were the seventh or eighth

family I was sent to.

I was 12 years old then.

I've never had a family of my own.

Being here

is the closest it's ever been.

I've never had what Tara has.

I've never experienced

what you Scotty

had together.

Please,

please understand.

He was the last person in the world I'd

ever hurt.

I loved him like a little brother

and he died.

But it wasn't my fault. It really

wasn't.

>> You saw the police.

That's what this is all about, isn't it?

Why are you afraid of the police,

Joanna?

>> I'm not afraid of anyone.

>> Stop prying into my life. Just leave me

alone.

>> I won't do that.

I don't understand. This is a simple

request for an address.

What is the name of the supervisor?

Will you transfer me?

Well, will you please ask him to call me

at this number? Yes, I'll stay here.

Thank you very much.

Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> Liz, you're supposed to be in bed.

>> Joanna, what's the matter with me?

>> There's nothing wrong with you. Nothing.

Just need some rest, that's all.

Dr. Linquist left these for you.

Is mom all right?

Joanna, where are you going?

Hello, this is Tara Benedict. Is my

father there?

15 minutes ago. Do you know if he was

heading straight home?

You don't?

>> Yes, Mr. Leven. I quite understand. And

I have not the slightest intention of

bothering them.

Livesy.

Yes. 12 72

Oakhurst

Lane. And is there a phone number? Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> Yes, I'm back.

I told you I would be,

but only for a little while.

>>

>> You see, the family that I've been

taking care of want me to stay with

them. They really don't know how to do

without me. And they're such nice

people.

Will someone answer the phone? I have to

get this place cleaned up. I'm I'm sorry

I didn't do it before, Nicholas.

And

I'll clean up and start dinner, but I

can't stay long because I have to cook

dinner at home, too.

David, can you please get the phone?

Thank you.

Nicholas, how many times have I told you

when you take something out of the

refrigerator, you close the door?

Don't tell me they didn't turn on the

electricity. I called them.

I really should be going home.

They'll be wondering where I am.

I'm going to call Doc about your mother.

She shouldn't be asleep like this.

Is this a joke?

>> I hope so. I'm starving.

>> Where is she?

>> Upstairs. She's been acting really weird

today.

I can't eat this, Dad.

>> No. Go make yourself a sandwich

upstairs.

>> Jonah, what are you doing?

>> You think I look great?

>>

>> Heat.

Heat.

I missed you, David.

I'm tired.

>> I want to talk to you.

>> What about

>> stop?

It's gone far enough.

Look, uh, last night.

>> Is it bothering you?

>> Yes,

it's bothering me.

Other things are bothering me, too. I

don't understand what's going on in this

house.

It's a mess. Look at it. Wife is

upstairs out cold. My child is back with

her TV and her doll.

You were so good for us when you first

came.

Now things are worse than they were.

I'm trying to understand why.

It's not your fault we involved you in

our problems too deeply.

You're still so young.

But whatever the reasons, last night

shouldn't have happened.

I have to ask you to leave

right away.

I'll take you to Seattle in the morning.

Don't worry.

I'll see what you have money and a place

to stay.

I'm sorry.

Heat.

Heat.

>> Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> Jeff, something's the matter with Liz.

Joanna

Woo.

>> You can't get away from me down here.

Tara

Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> I know where you are.

Heat.

Heat.

>>

>> Mama, please wake up. Mama, please wake

up.

Mama. Mama,

what's wrong?

Joanna.

Joanna, what's happening?

For God's sake, Joanna, what are you

doing with that thing? Put it down. Be

quiet. An

I don't want to do this,

but you wouldn't listen to me tonight.

You'll be gone in the morning.

Who is an? What are you talking about?

Nobody's going anywhere. Stop it.

Haven't you lied to me enough?

You said I was part of this family. I

didn't come between you and David. I

didn't have to.

Why should I be punished?

I've taken care of Nicholas

and I've listened to your problems.

problems.

You have nothing to be unhappy about.

You have everything except time for each

other.

>> You're insane.

>> You don't deserve any of it. And I hate

you for that.

>> Get her out OF HERE.

>> I'll kill you. I'll kill all of you.

>> Call the police. THEY'RE

on the way.

They didn't listen before.

Don't you see?

They didn't want to hear me.

I listened to you.

I helped you,

took care of you,

just like all the others.

But it's never enough.

I always have to go away

and find another family.

I always have to start again.

And I can't do it anymore.

It's too hard.

Why is it always like that?

I don't understand.

How can it be when I never had the

chance to choose?

Not a piece of blank paper

to be scribbled on, filed away,

and then taken out of one drawer and put

into another over and over again.

I'm a person.

I have feelings.

So

I love you all so much

and I try to be good to you,

but I I don't know what to do to make

you care.

Heat.

>> Please take care of yourselves.

>> Heat up here.
