[crowd chattering]

(detective)
Mr. and Mrs. Dargon.

- Detective.
- Detective.

Are you okay?

Do you remember
Mr. And Mrs. Dargon?

- Glen and Marcy.
- Are we doing first names?

We talked on the phone
from the hospital, right?

(Glen)
Yes, we called
as soon as we heard.

We tried to
come and see you, but--

but they wouldn't let us
until the test came back.

(Marcy)
So, here you are.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

(detective)
Well, charges have been pressed,

and McKay will be held
without bail.

So far, her hospital records
are clean,

although she did refuse
to take a full examination.

That's private.

Of course.

As discussed,

she's to meet with
a court-appointed psychologist

once a week, more if needed.

Dr. Andrews--here's her card.

This should calm down.

We petitioned
for a protective order

on your behalf,

and that should be settled
by tomorrow.

Thank you.

I only wish we could
have met sooner.

Thank you.

Take care of yourself.

[crowd chattering]

Can I hug you?

Um...sure.

You're real...

you're really here.

(Glen)
Welcome home.

Is it okay
if we stop hugging?

(Glen)
Yes, of course.

You're so big.

Would you like
something to drink?

I have lemonade.

(Glen)
And tea.

- Water.
- (Glen) Coming right up.

Please, make yourself
comfortable.

Here, let me--
I'll take--

- No.
- Okay.

(Leia)
Is this you?

Yes.

And him?

(Marcy)
Yes.

And this.

This is me, then.

(Marcy)
Yes.

There you go.

You look so young.

[laughs]

I was.

I rode horses.

(Marcy)
Ponies.

You had just started.

You were barely four.

But you kept asking,

and your friend Caroline
had had some lessons,

so of course you couldn't
let it go.

Do you remember Caroline?

No.

Your birthdays
were ten days apart,

so we always had
joint parties.

(Glen)
We had costume parties,

it being so close
to Halloween.

You were always a princess
for your birthday

and something else
for Halloween.

[laughter]

Isn't my birthday
March 15th?

(Marcy)
No, it's October 21st.

I celebrate it
on March 15th.

You see...

Um...

Yeah, here's another one.

So you're about to, um,
blow out the candles,

and here are the pumpkins
and leaves on the ground.

Oh.

(Glen)
We made a cheese plate,
if you're hungry.

And there's a pie in the oven.

Do you still like pie?

Sure.

Please, sit,

and make yourself
comfortable,

and let us know
if--if we can get you anything.

(Marcy)
Leanne.

Leanne is here.

Actually, my name is Leia.

- Huh?
- What?

My name is Leia.

You changed your name?

(Leia)
No.

We--we named you Leanne.

We've always
called you that.

I don't remember that.

I only know that
my name is Leia

and that I was named
after a princess.

Like from the movie?

What movie?

(Glen)
You don't know?

Know what?

Your name.

(Leia)
It's Leia.

Leia.

Yes?

No, I was just saying it.

Your name.

So tell us
about yourself.

I'm tired.

Oh, would you like
to lay down?

Yes.

Oh, you can go
right up to your room.

We didn't have time
to change anything,

but we kept it
like this for you.

I hope it's okay.

Maybe it's nice, even.

For now.

Okay.

All right, I'm gonna
let you get settled in.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay.

(Glen)
I'd like to propose a toast.

To Leanne.

To Leia.

We're so happy
to have you home.

It's a miracle.

(Glen)
Thank you.

[glasses clinking]

[clears throat]

(Marcy)
I'm sorry, are we being rude?

Are you saying Grace?

I'm doing a "Dear Universe."

It's a kind of prayer.

"Dear Universe,
thank you

"for the food
I'm going to be eating,

"the thoughts
I'm going to be thinking.

Thank you for this moment
we are making."

And then you make wishes.

Wishes?

(Leia)
Yes.

"I wish for you
to keep me honest,

help me to know who I am,"

and anything else you want.

"Sincerely, Leia."

And you can add a P.S.
if you feel necessary.

What church is that?

(Leia)
No church.

Church is for people
who can't believe in themselves.

The Universe is for
when you believe in everything.

Thank you.

(Glen)
You must be hungry.

Been quite a few days.

The police,
the hospital...

(Glen)
Hospital food
can't be that good.

(Marcy)
And all the beeping.

Who can eat
with all that beeping?

[laughs]

I remember when I was
at the hospital

after I had had you.

(Marcy)
And they brought me some food,

and I couldn't even
recognize it.

It was like astronaut food,
I swear.

The only thing that I would eat
was the Jell-O...

I remember that.

Because the rest
of it was just so--

No, I remember that,

because I had a pack
of Rollo's in my pocket

that you went
absolutely nuts for.

- That's right, that's right.
- I mean, she went bananas.

(Marcy)
Well, I was starving.

(Glen)
I'd never seen anybody...

(Marcy)
I was starving, because--

(Glen)
Go through a half a pack
of Rollo's before like that.

(Marcy)
Because after you give birth,

they should have a turkey dinner
waiting for you.

[Glen and Marcy laughing]

[atmospheric string music]

[phone ringing]

(Glen)
Hello?

Hi.

Yeah, she's right here.

(Glen)
It's Jill.

[sighs]

Hello?

Great.

Thank you.

Uh-huh.

I know.

(Marcy)
I know, I was thinking
the same thing.

She would be so happy.

Would you like to talk to her?

Hold on.

Um, Leia, this is your Aunt Jill
on the phone.

Why don't you say hello?

So--so say hello.

Hello?

Okay.

Congratulations
for you, too.

Okay.

I think she's done talking.

Oh, okay.

I should go.

Hello--
already?

Okay.

Jill?

Yeah, she's tired.

I'll see you
tonight.

- I'll see you tonight.
- Of course.

(Dr. Andrews)
Okay, so would you describe
your first week at home

as a positive experience?

Sure.

(Dr. Andrews)
I notice you say that a lot.

"Sure."

We just met.

Yes, but over
the last half hour,

"Would you like to sit?"

"Can I get you some tea?"

"Have you been sleeping
on a regular schedule?"

"Do you find yourself adapting
to your new surroundings?"

All these are things
you answered "sure" to.

Maybe you should ask
different questions.

Maybe you're right.

How would you describe
your first week at home?

As a positive experience.

[sighs]

Do I make you uncomfortable?

No.

Do I make you uncomfortable?

Of course not.

Okay.

"Sure" is
a noncommittal statement,

even in the affirmative.

If I say,
"Do you want some tea?"

and you say, "Sure,"

it tells me that you want tea

only because I asked it,
not because you want it.

I want you to feel free
to express definites,

concrete feelings.

This is a safe environment.

Okay.

I don't really want this tea.

Everything you say here
is confidential.

You keep writing things
in that folder.

(Dr. Andrews)
I keep notes.

But you are looking
for things, right?

Against Ben.

Are you concerned about Ben?

Are you looking for things?

My only true concern
is how you are doing,

how you are feeling,

that you feel supported.

Okay.

If there's anything I can do
to make that clearer to you,

do not hesitate to tell me.

I am here for you.

Can you stop calling it "home"?

Like, my "transition back home"?

All right.
Does it not feel like home?

Would a place you don't remember
feel like home to you?

How does it feel?

Like a place I don't remember,

like a neighbor's house.

(Dr. Andrews)
Did you spend much time
at neighbor's houses

when you were with Mr. McKay?

No.

I spent time at home.

[elevator dings]

[gentle supermarket music]

(Glen)
Want some dessert?

(Glen)
You don't have to look at that.

It's just--
it's just there.

Can I have this?

No.

Or not right now, okay?

(woman)
Congratulations, God bless.

I've been following
on the news and everything

from the very beginning.

- So inspiring.
- Thank you.

You are so inspiring.

(woman)
You must be so happy
to be home.

You holding up okay?

Fine, thanks.

(woman)
Oh, I bet you are.

Just excuse me.

You are in our prayers.

I hope that monster gets
everything he deserves.

Don't you worry.

Thank you, thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I'm sorry about that.

People have
a lot of questions,

and sometimes
it gets the better of them.

Questions about what?

Well...

about you
and how you're doing,

what you went through...

how you survived.

Survived what?

The unknown, I guess.

I could ask everyone else
the same question.

(young Leia)
You're ruining it!

You're ruining everything!

(Ben)
Hey, don't say that.

Ruiner!

(Ben)
Leia, that's not very nice.

You are not very nice.

(Ben)
Yeah?

Who else do you know
that's nicer, huh?

No one.

(Ben)
That's right.

You're hurting him!

Let's take him
to the hospital.

He has to go
to the hospital.

Leia, we both know
he can't go to a hospital.

And why?

- But he has to--
- Leia.

Hospitals are bad.

(Ben)
Yes.

And why?

You can't just say
something is bad

without knowing why.

They have no confidence
in the nature of things

and no respect
for the mystery of life.

Yeah.

And part of the mystery of life
is death.

And part of the nature of things
is accepting that.

(young Leia)
I don't want him to die.

(Ben)
Well, look who's lost
confidence in me, huh?

(bear)
Are you ready for a story?

Which one should I read?

How about The Frog Prince?
You can follow--

[button clicks]

He's fixed.

(Leia)
You fixed him.

That's what I told you
I was doing.

I thought you were
hurting him,

like a doctor.

No, I was fixing him,

like a Ben.

[sighs]

Look at you.

You're a mess.

You're a mess.

You get so worked up.

Sorry.

(Ben)
No, you don't
have to apologize.

We can't help
what we feel.

But we can help
what we think, right?

So why would you think
I would hurt Teddy?

I don't know.

(Ben)
You don't know what you think?

I thought you were mad at me.

Why would I be mad at you?

For looking out the window.

I was concerned when you were
looking out the window, yeah.

I didn't want you
to see something scary.

But I fixed it, right?

So, we don't have to worry
about that anymore.

I know.

But you yelled.

Even if I was mad,

I take care of you.

Always.

(young Leia)
Okay.

(Ben)
Okay.

[somber music]

(Leia)
How long does it take trees
to grow?

Maybe 30, 40 years.

This has looked like this
for 40 years?

(Marcy)
More than that, actually,

because we moved here
almost 25 years ago,

and the trees were big
then, too.

Why does Glen get to leave?

Well, he goes to work.

We could leave, too.

What do you think?

(Marcy)
You could try it on.

Sure.

Oh, that looks so pretty.

Do you like it?

Do you want to try it

without the other
shirts underneath?

I always wear these.

[quietly]
Would to try it?

Now...

How is that one?

That's--that's not as tight
as the other one, right?

Good.

Do you want me
to adjust it?

It's adjustable
back here.

- No.
- No?

Okay, great.

Great.

Well, I think
that should work better

under the clothes.

I can do it.

Okay.

Okay.

Don't--don't forget...

don't forget to come out
and show me.

If--if you want to.

It was--it was really nice.

I think she liked
the clothes that we found.

She looked great in them,

really beautiful.

I hope she liked them.

Good.

See?
It's good.

Yeah, it's good.

She's...

She's sweet.

(Leia whispering)
Dear Universe,

thank you for the thoughts
I'm going to be thinking.

Thank you for the dreams
I'm going to be dreaming.

Thank you for this moment
we are making.

I wish for you
to keep me honest

and to keep an eye on Ben.

Sincerely, Leia.

[shower running]

[dog barking]

[knocking]

Leia?

Good morning.

Leia?

Leia!

[panting]

[door sliding]

Leia.

- Yes.
- Oh, my God.

I--I--I...
[door slides shut]

I didn't see you
out there.

- Don't do that.
- Sorry.

- Don't do that.
- Sorry.

You know what we're
gonna do today?

We're gonna get you
an ID card

so that...

so that you have
an ID card.

Okay.

(Marcy)
Salem, Pennsylvania.

Department
of Motor Vehicles.

What does "Louise" mean?

It's your middle name.

[faucet running]

[sighs]

[faucet shuts off]

It's work.

Okay.

Whatever it is,

I think we should just
try to be more...

than we were.

(Glen)
We already are.

We already are
more than we were.

[Glen sighs]

[Leia coughing]

[smoke alarm beeping]

Leia?

You okay in there?

Oh, oh, okay,
okay, I'll get it.

- Sorry.
- No, no, no, no, no.

(Marcy)
It's all right.
Here.

Careful.
I'll get it,

I'll get it, I'll get it.
There we go.

It's all fine,
it's all fine.

I like the bread warm.

That's okay.

How do we--let's see.

I like it toasty, sorry.

That's all right.

(Marcy)
It'll--it'll go off
in just a second.

This happens
all the time.

[alarm stops]

There we go.
Okay.

There we go.

- Sorry.
- No, that's fine.

So...for next time,
there's a toaster.

You know.

So you could toast
the bread first,

and then make the sandwich.

Oh, yeah.

Here, let's start again.

Okay, here we go.

And...

Here you go.

(Marcy)
Mm-hmm.

Now turn it on.

There we go.

- Oh, right.
- Mm-hmm.

Mr. McKay didn't
have a kitchen?

We had a kitchen,
obviously.

Just, I never went
in there.

It was in a different
part of the house.

Ben always cooked
for me.

Mr. McKay.

So you never left
the basement at all?

You weren't allowed
in other parts of the house?

We didn't call it
a basement.

It was where we lived.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

It's an honest mistake.

What is?

Calling it a basement.

No, I meant,
about everything.

I'm...

I'm sorry
about everything.

It's okay.

You're trying.

(Marcy)
Thank you for doing this
with me.

It's supposed
to be therapeutic,

meditative.

You used to love beads.

Your Aunt Jill
had a bead shop

before she moved
to Santa Fe,

and you loved
to go in there

and sink your hands deep
into the bins of glass beads.

I wanted to get you some,

but I was always afraid
you'd eat them

when I wasn't looking.

What are you making?

A string of beads.

[beads clattering]

So I have room
for about six more,

but I have
ten beads left.

(Marcy)
Which...

which ones do you think
I should leave out?

Any of them.

Well, help me out.

Which ones do you think?

I know things.

Oh, I know.

I wasn't nothing to him.

He raised me.

Okay.

[beads clatter]

Also, "ones"
isn't a word.

[footsteps]

- (young Leia) What is that?
- (Ben) What?

That.

(Ben)
Oh, that, wow.

Maybe you better open it.

Okay.

What is it?

(Ben)
Look through it.

Look at the light.

Whoa.

(Ben)
Yeah.

That's the window
I promised you.

Click that button down
on the side.

[gasps]

And those are the natural
wonders of the world,

before they went away.

Where did they go?

You know.
I told you.

Everything's ruined
out there.

Nothing good
out there anymore.

(Leia)
You couldn't save it?

Well, you have
to pick your battles.

You can only save so much.

I picked you.

Those trees are so big.

They're called redwoods.

[gasps]

An up-and-down river?

Oh, that's Niagara Falls.

(Leia)
Inside-out mountains?

That's--
that's the Grand Canyon.

It's so pretty.

I love it.

I love my window.

Well, we have
a lot to look at.

We have
underwater oceans,

and night sky
and space,

and deserts of Africa,

cities of Europe.

It's like magic.

(young Leia)
Can we look at space?

(Ben)
When you look at space,

you have to lie on your back
and look up at the stars.

(Dr. Andrews)
Leia?

(Ben)
This is Ursa Major,
it's a Great Bear...

(Dr. Andrews)
Leia.

You seem distracted.

Sorry.

What are you
thinking about?

Did you ever see
Niagara Falls?

Um, once,
when I was very small.

Was it very far away?

It's an eight-
or nine-hour drive.

What about
the Grand Canyon?

Was that far?

It's in Arizona.

Yes.

It is in Arizona.

Yes.

(Marcy)
This is a very special
birthday for us,

for all of us.

And we wanted to give you
something really special.

(Glen)
We're very proud of you, Leia.

Okay.

Now...

Open your eyes.

What--

It won't hurt you.

(Marcy)
It's okay, it's okay.

No, no, no, no, no,
it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

(Marcy)
Feel her,
feel how soft she is.

- I don't want it.
- She's harmless.

Here, touch her, touch her.

I don't want it.

- Leia.
- I don't want it.

- Marcy.
- Leia.

We're sorry.

[footsteps]

[panting]

[pounding]

I'll go bring back the dog.

No, don't do that.

Don't act like you're
righting some wrong of mine.

I will take
the dog back myself.

It was my idea.

This doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense.

People have been
doing trust falls

for generations.

But I don't understand
why we're practicing

something that isn't
going to happen in real life.

So, this isn't a practice
for a real fall.

This is
the actual fall.

It's a metaphor,

for...things that happen
in real life.

Now, turn back around.

Come on, here we go.

Now...fall.

So it's natural
that you hesitate,

because you've never
trusted anybody before.

I haven't?

No.

I'm here.

I'm gonna
catch you.

Now fall.

Okay, um...

Maybe--would it help
if I went first?

If I let myself
fall backwards

and you caught me?

Let's try that.

Okay.

I'm gonna fall backwards,

and you're gonna
catch me.

One, two, three.

[sighs]

(Glen)
How is she?

She's fine.

I drew her a bath.

(Glen)
It'll get better.

It is getting better.

You're always looking
ahead of everything.

"She'll be fine."

"We'll get through it."

"Let's wait till morning."

"Let's see what the police say."

"Let's have another baby."

What about now?

What about what's happening
right now?

I need you with me in this.

I am.

Well, it doesn't
feel like it.

If you can't see
that I'm in this with you,

that I...

[faucet running]

I want us to move on, yes.

But I've also spent
the last 20 years

holding your hand

through the search initiatives

and the anniversary vigils

and you never going
back to work.

That's not fair.

Nothing's fair.

You have to move on,

especially now,
now that it's over.

- It's not over.
- Because of you.

You stopped.
Everything stopped.

Why is it that
when you talk about it,

it's always like something
that only happened to me,

like you're some noble outsider,
some--some saint,

who sacrificed his life for me.

I have sacrificed my life.

No.
It was taken.

Our life was taken,

and you are not giving
me anything, or her.

Why won't you read
one of these books?

Why won't you show
an even minor interest

in how hard this is?

It doesn't have to be
that hard.

How would you even begin
to know how hard it is

if you won't let yourself
be a part of it?

In case you haven't noticed,
we need your help,

whether you think we do
or not.

[door opens]

...!

I didn't know
anyone was in here.

No one said
if I could get out.

(Glen)
Let me get you a towel.

(Marcy)
We want to talk to you
about your future.

My future?

(Marcy)
We know that you're smart

and that you know things.

And we think that
maybe the best way

to assess
what you already know

and structure
your future learning

might be a tutor.

What's a tutor?

A teacher.

A teacher
who comes to the house

and works with you

to make sure you have
everything you need.

(Ben)
Leia.

- Leia.
- Go away.

(Ben)
Leia.

- Go away!
- Hey.

Hey, that's not fair.

Where have you been?

I'm sorry.

That's what's not fair.

- Where have you been?
- I'm sorry!

Three days!

You left me
for three days!

Two and a half days.

Why would you do that?

Why?

I'm sorry.

- I called your name.
- I know.

You get everything!

- All right, all right.
- I hate you!

Get it all out.

All right, all right,
hey, hey, hey.

Care!

Why don't you care
that I hate you?

Because you don't
hate me.

Yes, I do!

You want me to die
like an animal!

Aah!

Stop it!

Stop it now!

Now, look at me!
Look!

Leia.

Now we are even, yes?

But I didn't mean
to hurt you.

I didn't mean
to stay away so long.

You did mean
to hit me.

You aimed.

You got me,
on purpose.

Okay.

[whimpering]

Okay?

And I didn't mean
to hurt you.

I don't believe you.

If you don't
believe me,

then--then what?

Then what have you got?

Nothing.

That's the point.

I don't have anything.

Don't--
don't say that.

Look, everything I do
is for you.

If you don't
have anything,

then what am I?

I'm--
I'm a failure?

Come on.

Shh.

Come on, shh.

What's gonna happen
to me, Ben?

What's gonna happen
to me after this?

There--

(Ben)
There is no "after this."

(Marcy)
Anyway, think about it.

We've got three weeks
till the first session.

Leia?

Okay.

Brennan, Pennsylvania.

Packerton County Jail.

[creaking]

[soft clicking]

[atmospheric string music]

[indistinct chatter]

[metal detector beeping]

Leia.

You came.

I miss you.

You look different.

You look good.

I like your hair.

Looks nice like that.

Did you know...

Did you know that you were
changing things about me?

Like my name...
and birthday?

I didn't know those things
about you to begin with,

so I didn't think
I was changing anything.

I was giving you things.

You can't change
what you don't know.

I don't know
how to do anything.

You got here,
didn't you?

You could follow directions.

You caught the bus.

I don't know
how to do anything.

You'll be fine.

Do you regret it?

Never regret
the things you do.

Regret the things
you don't.

It takes
as much effort

running in place
as running a mile.

I'd rather see the mile.

Even if you die in here?

Even if I die in here.

I can't decide
what the worst thing

that's ever happened
to me is...

Being with you
my whole life

or being without you
for the rest of it.

Hey.

No girls in their 20s at all?

What about teenagers?

Any teenagers?

Yes, I will hold.

No, I know.

Yes, you will--
you will call me

if you hear anything.

[dramatic music]

Okay.

....

[screaming]

[poignant music]

[indistinct chatter]

[door opens]

Oh, my God, where were you?

Are you okay?

(Marcy)
Where were you?

Leia, where were you?

I went for a walk.

A walk?

(Marcy)
For seven hours?

Yes.

Where did you walk?

I don't know, a park.

(Marcy)
What park?

Grayson Park?

Yes.

(Marcy)
With the fountain?

Yes.

There is no fountain
in Grayson Park.

Then the park
with the fountain.

There is no park
with a fountain.

You can trust me.

And you can tell me
where you were.

I did.

I don't think you did.

What is this?

Stop it!

(Glen)
Hey, Leia.

We were worried
about you.

Are you okay?

Nothing is okay.

(Marcy)
Look at this.

- They're pictures of him.
- No.

(Marcy)
These are pictures
of him, Glen.

Stop, they're mine.

(Marcy)
I found them under her bed.

"Today is my fake
real birthday.

I wanted to tell you
I'm sorry..."

- Come on.
- "For blowing out the candles.

(Marcy)
"Even though
without me telling you,

"you wouldn't even know,

"but I feel so bad about it,
I have to tell you,

"so I can apologize.

"I'm sorry,

and I'm sorry
for telling you."

What kind of a hold
does this man have over you?

(Glen)
Okay, okay, Marcy.
That's enough.

(Marcy)
You've had enough, Glen?

Can we talk about this?

We will sit down--

I don't think
we can talk about this.

I-I don't think so.

(Glen)
Put the phone down.

Hello, this is Marcy Dargon.

I'm calling
for Detective Timms.

- It's an emergency.
- Marcy, wait.

What are you doing?

(Glen)
Wait.

(Marcy)
Well, please tell him
this is Marcy--

- Stop!
- It's an emergency.

It's an emergency!

Stop getting him
into trouble!

- Give me those!
- These are not yours.

- They're mine!
- These are not yours!

- Give them back!
- No!

He is hurting you!

He is still
hurting you!

No!
- He's hurting you right--

You are hurting me!

You!
You did this to me!

Go upstairs.

Go!

Thank you
for all your help.

[Bleep]!
What's wrong with you?

I am done.

You can't just
give up on her.

With you.

I am done with you.

Oh, you're done with me?

I am so sick of
dragging you around on my--

(Glen)
Is that what you think?

Yes.

Do you have any idea what this
has been like for me, huh?

What you have
been like for me?

What you have been
all these years?

Where you have been?

Where have you been
all these years and years?

Here.

In our actual life,

in what actually
happened to us,

in what actually
is still happening to us.

(Marcy)
And it is not my fault
that you cannot do that,

and it is not my responsibility
to make you.

(Glen)
I want to move on,
for [bleep] sake.

I want us all
to [bleep]ing move on.

.

(Marcy)
You want to fast-forward
to the easy part.

Well, there isn't one,
not like this.

And I cannot drag Leanne
back into reality

if I have to do
the same for you.

And I choose her.

[water running]

[discordant music]

[tape rewinding]

(Ben on TV)
The only loophole
in our system is free will,

and we can't account
for that.

A restraining order
has since been put in place

forbidding Mr. McKay
to make further contact
with the girl.

His lawyer released
this statement.

"I deeply regret any conflict
I may have caused.

"I only want
what is best for Leanne

"and apologize
for any actions

"that could have been
interpreted to the contrary.

I wish her only good things
at this difficult time."

- [tape rewinding]
- [knocking]

[tape stops]

(man)
Hello?

(man)
Hello?

Who is it?

It's Mr. Henry.

Mr. Henry?

The tutor,
for your daughter.

I left you a message
last week.

I confirmed with
your husband yesterday.

- Can I see some ID?
- ID?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Illinois?

Yeah, that's
where I'm from.

No, thank you.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

[exhales]

Years ago when
she became separated

from a group
of neighborhood kids

while playing
in an inflatable castle.

(dispatcher)
911, what is your emergency?

(Marcy)
Yes, my daughter is gone.
She's missing, she's 4 1/2.

Oh, my God,
oh, my God.

She was--she was
in the bouncy castle
with the other kids.

(dispatcher)
Ma'am, ma'am, I'm gonna
need you to calm down.

- What is your location?
- We're at Welling Park.
There's a barbecue.

I took off her shoes and I put
her in the castle for a minute.

I was here the whole time.
I've been here.

She can't go anywhere
without her shoes.

She doesn't know
how to buckle her shoes.

(dispatcher)
And how long has she
been missing?

(Marcy)
Oh, my God, I don't know!
How could I not know?

(dispatcher)
Ma'am, how long ago did you
discover she was gone?

(Marcy)
15 minutes, we've been looking
for her for 15 minutes.

(dispatcher)
Can you tell me
what she's wearing?

(Marcy)
She's wearing a yellow t-shirt

and a denim jumper,
yellow socks.

She's not wearing any shoes.
I'm holding her shoes.

Benjamin McKay was a product
of the foster care system...

[phone ringing]

(anchor)
Bouncing between over
30 residences

and group homes
before the age of--

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Oh, hi, Dr. Andrews.
How are you?

I was gonna call you,
and you beat me to it.

Yeah, so...one of the things
that I was gonna call you about

is that Leanne has come down

with a little touch of the flu,
we think.

So can I call you when
she's feeling a little better?

Thank you.

Okay.

Bye.

[phone beeps]

[knocking]

Leanne?

Leanne, it's time for lunch.

I made you a sandwich,
toasted like you like it.

I'm gonna slide it
under the door now.

Am I still in trouble?

You're not in trouble.

Then can I come downstairs?

Do you miss me?

I'm thirsty.

Water's in a half an hour.

Check the schedule.

[phone ringing]

What do I have to do?

Just look at me.

I don't get it.

The bond that we created
when you were an infant

has been erased.

Children bond to their mothers
in the earliest months of life,

when they can't speak,

when they can only look
in each other's eyes

and trust that the mother
will care for them

and provide the things
that they want or need,

without their even asking.

I'm 22.

23.

I'm not an infant.

And that's why it's called
"attachment therapy"

instead of
just "attachment."

Just attachment happens
when you're a baby,

but attachment therapy
happens when you're older

but you're incapable
of attaching to someone.

I was attached
to someone.

This isn't something
I'm asking you to do.

So...

you should lie down here
with your head in my lap.

Okay.

Now you look at me.

For how long?

We'll see.

(young Leia)
What color are my eyes?

(Ben)
Blue.

- Yours, too.
- Mm-hmm.

They were green
when I was born.

They changed.

When I was born,
did my eyes change?

I don't know.

Well, are there pictures?

Now, you know there aren't.

[Ben sighs]

I want you to tell me
the story

about when you found me.

You mean
when you found me?

Please.

Well, it was spring.

And it was the middle
of the beginning of the end.

Of the world.

(Ben)
Of the world.

And...I was driving,

and something told me to stop,

something in here.

So I did.

(Ben)
And there you were.

What did I look like?

(Ben)
Whew, all lit up,

the brightest--

You were the brightest thing
I ever saw.

But you were stranded,

and strangers.

Am I still the brightest
thing you ever saw?

You're brighter than the sun
at the center of the earth.

Is there really a sun
at the center of the earth?

Well, there's a you,
isn't there?

[Leia laughs]

Okay, keep going.

Well, you could feel
I was looking at you.

- In here?
- Mm-hmm.

So I picked you up,

and you said...

"Save me."

So I did.

I saved you from
ever being left behind,

for ever...

being anything but mine.

I wish I can
remember things.

What color were my eyes
when I was born?

Shh.

You're not supposed
to talk.

They were gray.

When am I allowed
to be alone again?

It's on the schedule.

Now fall.

Where's Glen?

Did you make a schedule
for him, too?

No, we made a choice.

And at some point,
we'll make a decision.

Why choose to be apart
after so long?

It's important
to make choices,

even hard ones.

Now fall.

- I don't want to.
- Leanne...

Fall.

- I choose not to.
- You have to.

- On the count of three--
- No!

- One, two...
- Aah!

Now you don't get cake.

I know you're scared,
but it doesn't matter.

I didn't catch you.

That doesn't matter either.

If you do this now,

you can eat alone tonight.

- [door bangs]
- [gasps]

- Glen?
- Marcy, open the door.

I didn't think you were home.
It's dark in there.

You should turn a light on.
I thought maybe you were out.

No, here.

I just came by
for some things, some clothes.

Open up the door, Marcy.

Can I at least see her,
say hi?

You can't have it
both ways.

She'll call you
when she's ready.

I'm sorry.

I'm just...

sorry.

I'll go get your things.

At some point I'm coming
back in the house.

That's my life in there, too,
my house.

I'd rather not do this
with a lawyer, Marcy.

And I wish you'd cared
half as much about us

as you care about your things,

- but...
- That's not fair.

Nothing's fair.

Sooner or later, Marce.

Fine.
Later.

If you need anything,
I'm not far.

Over on Highland?

- Yes.
- Hmm.

Lucky her.

After all this time.

[car door opens, closes,
engine turns over]

Thank you.

No, no.

Good.

I'm done.

[knocking]

(Dr. Andrews)
Mrs. Dargon?

(Marcy)
Dr. Andrews.

I'm--
I'm sorry.

Oh, not at all.

Is everything okay?

Did you need something?

(Dr. Andrews)
May I come in?

Of course, please.

So how is Leia?

She's--she's good.

Oh, good.

She hasn't been to my office
in a while now.

Well, she has
that cold still.

It's bronchitis,
I guess, now.

She'll be fine.

A lot of bed rest.

- Her flu?
- What?

Her flu turned
into bronchitis?

Yes, it did.

(Marcy)
Sorry.

You okay?

(Marcy)
Yeah, yeah.
I'm good, I'm good.

- Thank you.
- Here you go.

What happened
to your face?

I fell.

It's minor.
It's not a big deal
at all, really.

Glen called my office.

He's worried about
you and Leia.

Could we not call her that?

I named her Leanne.

That is her name.

Sure.

Glen expressed concern
for both you and Leanne.

He and I are taking
some time apart,

as I'm sure he told you.

That must be very difficult
at a time like this.

Is this your first separation?

I went to my sister's once,
years ago.

12, 14 years ago.

It was after they found
that body in Maryland.

How is Leanne finding
the separation?

Fine.

Are they seeing much
of each other?

Not at the moment.

He's...

He's not...

I don't really want
to talk about Glen.

Okay.

What about other family?

Your sister,
are you still close?

She got married.

She had two kids,
11 and...8,

which made it hard to...

travel.

I imagine that's not easy,

other people's children.

You have kids,
Dr. Andrews?

No.

I never know
how to answer that.

I'm sure you're doing
just fine.

You do this a lot,

counsel victims
of kidnapping?

Not specifically.

Me neither.

But I'm sure
you're doing just fine.

Well, I don't want to take up
any more of your time.

If I could just see Leanne now,
I'll be on my way.

Oh, yes, right.

Not for long,
just to touch base.

I'd love to hear
about your vacation.

I'm sure it was
great for her.

One Mississippi,
two Mississippi,

three Mississippi,
four Mississippi,

five Mississippi,
six Mississippi...

58 Mississippi,
59 Mississippi...

60.

So she's--she's sleeping.

I-I-I tried to wake her,

but she's just
too feverish to come down.

Of course,
her bronchitis.

Yes, it'll have to be
another time.

Thursday,
her regular time.

Yes, right,
Thursday.

Great.

(Leia)
Barracuda.

- Bermuda.
- Bermuda.

- Barracuda's a fish.
- Okay.

What was your
favorite part?

- We went on a boat.
- Good.

- I've never been on a boat.
- I know.

What if she asks
why I like it?

You just tell her
you like the water.

But what if I don't
like the water?

- Do you?
- I don't know.

I don't want to
answer these questions.

I don't want you
to answer them either.

[sighs]

How was the plane ride?

It was scary.

- Good.
- I don't get it.

Why would people do
something scary on purpose?

It's not actually scary.

It's just, some people
think that it's scary.

Do you?

- Not really.
- Then why do I?

Because you've never
been on a plane before.

But the boat wasn't scary.

- No.
- Why not?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you have a tan?

I wore a sun screen.

One word, "sunscreen."

I wore a sunscreen.

Not "a," just "sunscreen."
"I wore sunscreen."

It's--it's a lotion.

I wore sunscreen.

That's good.
I-I...

I think that's good for today.
I think we should--

we'll practice
more tomorrow, yeah?

Okay.

What happens
if I get them wrong?

I'm just trying to do my best
to protect you.

From what?

Why do you ask
so many questions

and you still don't know
what a barracuda is?

I know what it is now.
It's a fish.

[sighs]

Let's move on.

What's next?

Beads.

I think that we're gonna
try something new.

[drawer closes]

Applied accountability.

What's applied
accountability?

I fall, you fall.

I succeed,
you succeed.

(Dr. Andrews)
So, how are you feeling

about the changes
in the house?

Which changes?

Glen being gone.

Okay, I guess.

(Dr. Andrews)
Are there other changes?

Has your relationship
with Marcy changed at all

since he's been gone?

Can we talk
about something else?

What about your vacation?

(Leia)
Good.

It was good.

Good.

I used a sunscreen.

It's a lotion.

[indistinct chatter]

(Dr. Andrews)
What about your relationship
with Mr. McKay?

We're not allowed
to have a relationship.

And do you still want one?

That doesn't have to be
a yes-or-no question.

It's natural to feel conflicted
about Mr. McKay.

Ben.

(Dr. Andrews)
Ben.

You always say that.

(Dr. Andrews)
What?

That it's natural

to feel conflicted
about my feelings.

And it is.

But how can you have feelings
about something

when you don't know
anything about it?

Is that how you feel
about him?

That's how I feel
about everything.

(Marcy)
Okay, all right.

I'll let you get settled in.

Water's in a half an hour.

[door shuts]

[lock clicks]

Is this how people love?

They become a room
for you to live in,

and then they lock?

How many rooms do you get
in your life?

Am I lucky or unlucky?

I'm really asking.

We're both lucky.

I...I have something for you.

I have to go
and get it.

Where is it?

It's downstairs.

We are downstairs.

It's in the basement.

Is it alive?

No.

Okay.

I'm gonna trust you.

Okay, good.

[door opens]

[door closes]

(male reporter)
17 years, the singular window
in the basement

was sealed and covered,

making it impossible
to see in or out.

Neighbors said they never
noticed anything unusual

about Benjamin McKay
or his basement.

(male neighbor)
He kept to himself mostly.

We'd always say hello
if we happened into each other,

but, you know, I mean,

never mentioned family,
never had anyone over.

I mean,
he was always alone.

At least we thought
he was alone.

(reporter)
No one knows how much time McKay
himself spent in the basement,

though there was just one bed

fashioned out of a camping cot
wrapped in blankets.

The bedding is being tested
for DNA,

and thus far the results
of those tests

have not been released.

What will happen
at this museum of captivity

at 111 Langston Road
is yet to be determined,

as the relics
of a life underground

wait to be claimed.

Truly horrifying.

For 21 News,
I'm Juan Fernandez.

[footsteps]

[door opens]

[grunting]

This is a stationary bicycle.

You ride it in place,

like...like this.

See?

And...it stays up by itself,

so you don't have to wear
a helmet or anything,

and you can change the speeds
with these dials.

I...

I found it downstairs.

Here, get on.

Now you just...you pedal.

You push down with your feet.

Yes, like that.

Next week is a solitary block,

and I thought it would be nice
for you to have something to do.

[bike whirring]

[atmospheric string music]

[whirring stops]

[ripping fabric]

(Leia's voice)
Dear Marcy,

thank you for caring about me,

for trying.

The idea that you can fight
for something you want

is new to me.

I thought before

that you only fought
against things you didn't.

But now I know there are
different ways of doing it.

It's not that I don't
not love you specifically.

I maybe don't love anyone,
maybe.

Or maybe that doesn't matter.

I'd say I wish
I could be different,

but I don't.

I don't know
what that would be.

I'm sorry I don't remember you
from before,

but I'll remember you now.

I didn't leave
because you were bad.

The whole point of taking
everything away from me

in the first place was that
I would get to be someone.

I mean, I am someone,
when I'm alone.

But when I'm with other people,

I am what they think I am.

I don't know how to be that.

And I think I don't want to be
something to share anymore.

I thought you couldn't
choose your family

and that you were trying
to make me choose you.

But then I saw
that Ben chose me.

He picked me out,
and he made me his.

And there is no one
choosing that.

There is no un-growing up.

It's time for me
to grow up for good...

and have something
that's mine.

And mine only.

[ominous string music]

Sincerely, Leia.
