[Mysterious music]

- I thought you were
gonna pick up cash for
the restaurant, Alice.

- I know, but I was at
the doctor's all day. I was
waiting for the ultrasound.

- Of course you were.
- What's that supposed to mean?

- It's this what I have to
look forward to for the next
8 months? You not being able

to do a damn thing?
- Come on, David.
It wasn't my fault.

- If you'd remembered
to take your pill,

we wouldn't be
in this situation.

But I suppose that wasn't
your fault either, right?

- No. It was an accident.

- Yeah, I know. An accident.

- I promise, when the baby comes

it's gonna be
the most amazing thing

that you have ever
been a part of.

- You must think that
if you keep telling me that,
eventually I'll be convinced.

I've told you time and time
again I'm not ready
to be a father.

Nothing you can say
is gonna change that.

- I just think that
once you see the ba--
- No, Alice! This is something

we should've both
agreed on and wanted.

God, I trusted you!

[Sighing]

No. If you want this baby,
you're gonna have it

on your own.
- What?

- I mean it. You made
this decision by yourself,

you can deal with it
by yourself.

- What are you saying to me?
You're gonna leave me? David,

I'm pregnant with your child!
You can't just walk out!

[Sighing]
Listen, we can do this together!

We can be a family!
We'll figure it out!

- I don't wanna be
a father, Alice.

And I don't wanna be with
someone who would lie to me.

- I didn't lie to you!

- I'll be right back.
- No, here, here. I'll do it.

[Unsettling music]

- Gimme your money.

- Hey! Get
away from her!

- David!

Hey! You're here already!
- Hey.

Yeah, my meeting got out
a little early so I thought

I'd just find a place
where I could sit

and get some work done.
- Well, great!

- The doctor's on time so
they said she should be out

in a minute.
- Okay. Hey, I wanted

to tell you about this article
I read. It's about how babies

bond with their parents' voices
just by listening to them

before they're born.
- Oh yeah?

- Hey, guys.

- Hey!
- Come on in.

Any luck?

- No, not yet.
- No. None of those women

were really what we were
looking for, Doctor.

- These were the ones that were
willing to live in the house
with you during the pregnancy.

Now if you've changed your mind
about that condition, I've got
some wonderful candidates

for you to consider.
- Well, actually,
that's a condition

we are not willing
to budge on.

- You know that Allie lost a
child before; so being present

during the pregnancy is just...
It's very important to her.

- I understand. Well, I did
call the New York and Boston

offices, and...

Here are some women

that are willing to
relocate to Philadelphia

and live in the house
with you till the baby's born.

But please understand
that if you don't

find anyone in there,
I'm afraid I can't help you.

Right now, we're running
out of options.
- Thank you, Claire.

but just about every weekend

during the summer, you can find
me at the beach! I'm a total...

- You've got to be kidding me.
- I love to swim...
- "I'm Danielle,

I'm from Boston, I'm a paralegal
and I'm a complete bimbo!"

- Yeah, well, that's
the last one, Allie.

- I don't like
any of them, George.

- Look, I know we haven't
found anyone yet, but
like Dr. Aitchinson says,

it's not gonna be easy for us
to find someone who's willing

to live with us for
the next 9 months.

And on top of that, you seem to
want to find this ideal person.

- Linda says that I can't find
anybody because I'm scared

of losing another baby.
- Oh, hey...

You are not gonna
lose another baby.

We're gonna have the family
that you've always dreamed of.

And I want this
as much as you do.

Look, I'll call around to some
other agencies tomorrow.

Don't worry. We're gonna
find the right surrogate.

Honey, I know bad things
have happened in your life.

But now it's time
for good things.

And only good things.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

[Creepy music]

[Gunshot]

What's the matter?
Did you have a bad dream?

Come here.

You're sweating.

[Door closing]
Hey!
- Hi!

I'm going into the store
early today.
- Okay.

Have a good day. I'll see ya.
I love you.
- You too.

[Phone ringing]

- Come on in. I'll be
right with you.
- Hi!

- [Glebe Side Kid Boutique.]
- Hey Stacie, it's me.

- Hi, Alice! I just opened.
- I have some things

I need to take care of
this morning, so do you think

[you could hold down the fort
yourself for a little while?]
- Sure!

- Good. Um, just call if you
need anything, all right?

- [Okay. Bye!]

- I got you some daisies at
the market. I know they're
your favourites, right?

- You're a dear.

- So, um...

Why did you call, Aunt Estelle?
Do you need something?

- Well, yes. Alice,
I can't stay here anymore.

- Really? Why?
- I hate it here.

This new chef they hired
is a complete joke.

Stray dogs wouldn't
eat his food.

I'm wasting away.
- Well, I think that's
a little extreme.

- Ha! You'd probably be happy
if I just withered away

in this... shack!
- No, but Linda says it's
one of the best in the city.

It's very expensive.
- Linda says?

What else does Linda say?

- She says that I need
to stop letting you

manipulate me like you're
trying to do right now.

- Manipulate you?

Oh! How dare she? I raised
you when you had no one!

If it weren't for me,
you would have ended up
in some orphanage somewhere!

And no one would have
adopted a child like you!

- Okay look, I don't need to sit
here and listen to this abuse.
- Wait, wait!

I... I didn't mean that.

You're the only one
I can count on, Alice.

I wanna come live with you.
- What?

- You'll need help
once the baby's born.

- No, no. George and I don't
want anybody living with us.

- Well,

you might feel differently
once George leaves you

for the pretty little
surrogate... the real
mother of his baby.

- Why do you always say
things just to hurt me?

- Hurt you?

I'm trying to help you!
I'm trying to warn you
before it happens!

Well, it's probably
for the best.

You don't have what it takes
to make a good mother anyway.

- Aunt Estelle, you have
to stop judging me!

George loves me very much!
He's not leaving me!

- If he knew your secret,
he would.

- If you say anything,
I will tell everybody that
you are senile and a liar.

- I don't care
about "everybody!"

All that matters is
if George believes me.

Right, dear?

- I'm leaving.

- Get me out of here,

Alice!

- I hate you!

Don't let her control you.

Don't let her control you.

- Lisa, why haven't we heard
back on the Bardley
Hills project?

- I mentioned it to you
yesterday. They said they won't
respond to bids until next week.

At the earliest.
- Then this report
should reflect that.

- It does.
- What?

- You see?

That line right here.

- Aha!

So it does.

I'm sorry. My mind has just
been... somewhere else.

- The surrogate candidates?
- Yeah.

- It's not going well?

[Sighing]

- No. No, it's not.

It's an emotional process,
and Allie wants to find...

the perfect one.

- She's right to be picky.

[Phone ringing]

- Excuse me. Hello?
- [Mr. Mailer,
this is Ms. Turner.]

- Yeah. Yeah.
- [I'm afraid we've got]

[some bad news.]
- Uh-huh.
- [Our client won't relocate.]

- Well, that's what I figured.

- [If we find someone else,
mind if we call you?]
- No, please do.

Call me if you find
anyone who will.

- [Sorry about that.]
- Yeah.
- [Good luck.]

- All right, thank you.

Well, that's it.

I called 3 other agencies
this morning and none of them

have surrogates who would be
willing to live with us
for the next 9 months.

Imagine that.

- I have an idea.

You know, Jennifer,
the one that's been living
with me since my divorce?

She's smart, pretty,

she's responsible,
and who knows? Maybe
she'd be open to it.

- Really?
- Yeah!

Jennifer would be a great
choice, and I know she could
really use the money.

- Sara's asleep?
- Mm-hmm. Just got her down.

- So...

What do you think
about helping them out?

- Well, you're right, it would
get me out of debt and that
would be wonderful, but...

I don't know
about being a surrogate.
- I know it's a lot to consider,

but it would mean
so much to them.

And George is a terrific guy
and they've wanted a baby
for a long time.

- You never told me why she
can't have one of her own.

- Actually, she was pregnant
several years back,

but she got
mugged at an ATM.

The guy pulled a gun
and shot her.

- What?
- Yeah.

Her husband too,
and he died.

- Oh, my God!
That's terrible!

- Alice had to have a full
hysterectomy. That's why,

if you were the surrogate,
they'd have to use your eggs.

- I think that's the worst
thing that could ever
happen to a woman,

to be told that she can't have
her own biological children.

I thought
I had it bad.

I don't even know how you get
over something like that.

- I don't think
she's ever given up hope
on having her own family.

- Maybe she's putting
her past behind her.

- How do you think
Sara would be with it?

- I think she'd be okay
if I explained it to her.

You know Sara. If she doesn't
understand something, she
just keeps asking questions

until she does.
- True.

- I don't care if I have
to put her at the Four Seasons.
She is not staying here.

[Door opening]
- Honey?

- Yeah!

- Hey!
- Hi!

- What are you doing?
- Um, just some work stuff.

Nothing important. Any news
about the other agencies?

- No. No, not yet. But...

I'm working on a few
different options.
- Okay.

- So you had the
dream again, huh?

- Yeah. I'm back
in the courtroom

and there's a box

sitting on a table.

It's beautifully wrapped.

For some reason, I feel
compelled to hide this box.

But every time I hide it,

it just reappears
back on the table.

- Is the judge
in this dream?

- Yes. He's just sitting
there, watching me.

He's got that horrible mask on

with the... It looks
like he's smiling,

but it's very,
very scary.

And George is there.

He has his back to me,
and when he turns around...

...he's got those
dark glasses on

like he can't
see anything.

And I hand him the skit box...

...and he takes it from me
and he opens it up.

[Gunshot]

And...

I kill him, Dr. Zeller.
[Dr. Zeller sighs]

- All right.

Now, this box... You said
it was beautifully wrapped?

- Yeah.

- All right.

A box is meant to carry
something, right?

Protect something.

Keep something safe.

- Like a baby?

- Mm-hmm. So...

It represents the surrogate
that you and George have
decided to get.

But you're ashamed
of it, so you try

and hide it. You wish you could
have the baby yourself, huh?

And the judge

is...
- Yeah, he's just
watching the whole time.

- We've been
through this before.

Your aunt Estelle
is the judge.

She berates you a lot
for the decisions you make.

She judges you.

But you wanna
love her, because...

she raised you.

That's why you keep putting
a mask on her in the dream.

- Why is George blind?

- What don't you
want him to see?

- Um, maybe

it's because...

Well, could it be because
I've kept Aunt Estelle
a secret from him?

I don't want him to see her?

- Could be.

Or maybe you don't want him
to see the real you.

Maybe you're afraid
he won't love you

if he knew who
you really are.

- But he does love me.

I know he loves me.

Why are we shooting
each other in the dream?

- It's your fear of
losing another baby.

But, Alice,

this time you also
have the gun,

because you're determined
not to let that happen again.

- George would never
hurt me, though.

- Alice, this is
all about being scared.

So let's just get
past the fear

and your sense of inadequacy
about needing a surrogate, okay?

[Piano tune]

- I just feel like I've
imposed on Lisa long enough.

Um, my husband died when
he was starting a business,

so I got stuck with
a lot of the debt.
- I'm sorry.

So, what do you
do for a living?

- Well, my degree
is in English,

and when Sara
was young,

I did a lot of
freelance copywriting.

- You'd be okay

having a baby and
then giving it up?

I mean after 9 months of forming
a mother-child bond, you...

you wouldn't find that
difficult?

- Ah... That's
a really hard question.

I think I'd be okay,

as long as I knew that the child

had wonderful parents
who would give it everything.

- All right, so...

Bottom line: you're okay
living with us for 9 months?

- Well, I'll admit it's
a little different, but...

I actually think it would
make me feel more comfortable,

rather than just
handing the child off
to someone I didn't know.

- You know, I think
Alice is gonna love you.

- I don't get to travel
as much as George does,

but I do get to Italy
twice a year.

One of my suppliers is in Rome.
- I spent a couple of summers
in Rome.

My father's family's from there.
- Oh, really?

- Yeah. Lisa came with me
one year; we shopped
till we dropped!

The Italian designers
are the best!

- I know! Every time I go,
I spend a fortune on clothes!
- Yeah, you do.

You see, I thought you two would
have something in common.
[Laughing]

- Well,

Jennifer, what
do you think?

Would you be willing
to be our surrogate?

- Yeah.

- Great. Thank you.

We can't wait to
meet your daughter.

- She's gonna love you guys.

- So, George, if the procedure
works, I guess we're...

we're finally gonna
have our baby!

- I think we are!

Thank you.

- Aunt Estelle?

- I'm ready to come
live with you!

- No, I told you, you cannot
come stay with us!

- Oh, and one
more thing...

I can't forget my mask

and my gavel!
[Evil laugh]

I'm moving in
with you and George

whether you like it or not!
[Evil laugh]

- Stop it!!

[Knocking]

Aunt Estelle?

Are you here?
- You ask that like you care.

I'm surprised you could fit me
into your busy schedule.

- Well, I brought you something.
- What are these?

- They're assisted-living
complexes and they're
really nice.

Let me show you my
favourite one, okay?

Two covered balconies.

- You're missing the point,
Alice. I'm done with living here

and every single one of
these stupid old fogy homes.

I want to live with you!
- I've already explained to you

why you can't live with us.
- It doesn't make any sense.

- You just can't, all right?
We're gonna have a full house

when... when Jennifer
and her daughter come to stay.

- Jennifer?

So you actually found someone.
- Yeah.

She's really great.
I really like her a lot.

- Well, whoopee
and good for you,

but I know there's plenty
of room for all of us.

- Aunt Estelle, listen to me.

You are not coming
to live with us, period!

Okay? So just get
the idea out of your head!

-You listen to melice.
I'm moving in

with you and George in
that big fancy house of yours
whether you like it or not.

If I have to stay
here one more day,

I'm writing a nice
long letter to George.

You were a very
disturbed little girl.
- Aunt Estelle...

- I saw you come back to
your mother's house that night,
crawl through the window...

Thought no one
would know.

And the next morning,
when we found out and
told you that your daddy

had died in that fire,
you tried to act surprised.

But I knew the truth.
I knew you'd set that fire.

Now George is gonna know too.

- Aunt Estelle,
please don't tell him.

- You're crazy if you think

he's going to have a baby with
someone as messed up as you.

- You won't tell him!
- I would tell him.
I don't like it here.

- Well, he's not gonna believe
some old bitch over
his own wife!

He doesn't even know you exist!

- Well, that just proves
what a liar you are, doesn't it?

I raised you after
your mother killed herself.

I could've put you in
an orphanage! You owe me!

- Why are you so hateful?

- Why are you so selfish?

- Linda says that I should not
let you control me.

- Oh, I don't care
what Linda says!

- I won't let you
do this, Aunt Estelle.

- Well, you have no choice.

- Shut up!

- That was no accident.
Your father didn't fall asleep

with a lit cigarette.
- Stop it!

- How long did you watch
before running out of
the house yourself?

- Stop it!
- George is gonna go

hightailing--
- No!

[Whimpering]

I can't let you talk about it
anymore, Aunt Estelle.

- Ahh! Ah!

- I don't want you to die

but I know you're gonna
tell George, and I...

I just can't let you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry.

- [Nurses' station.]
- Help! Please! My aunt, she...

She just took a really bad fall.
- [What room?]

- It's room 521. Please hurry!

- [We'll be right there.]

- Alice, are you okay?
- I'm fine.

What's this?
- Oh, that woman that just left,
she wants me to give her a call

when that crib
comes in from Italy.

She didn't even blink
when she saw the price tag.

You should hear
that woman's story.

The father of her baby
is married to somebody else.

- What?
- Yeah.

They've been together
for 6 years. He bought her
a condo and everything.

And he finally filed for divorce
when he found out that
she was pregnant.

- So she's running off
with a married man.

- Yeah. Can you
believe that drama?

- You know, I don't want
someone like that as a customer.

- Well, it takes all kinds.
- No, I'm serious. The woman's
obviously a slut.

- But...

- But what?

- We're talking
about a $2,000 crib!

- If she comes in here again,
Stacie, tell her we don't want
her business, all right?

And if you don't
tell her, I will.

- Okay...

[Mysterious music]

- [Estelle]: You might
feel differently once
George leaves you

for the pretty
little surrogate...

the real mother of his baby.

It's probably for the best.
- Hey!
- Ah!

- What's going on? You've
been jumpy all night!

- I... I'm sorry. I don't know
what's the matter with me.

- When do you see
Dr. Zeller again?
- Friday.

Not until Friday.

- So... I'll have
a brother or sister?

- So, this dream that
you had last night...

It was only George
in the courtroom?

- Yeah.

- What about the judge
in the mask?

Wasn't he there?

- No, he wasn't.

- Well...

This is the first time
in weeks you've had
the dream without him.

- You know what?
You're right, actually.

- The judge always
represented

your aunt Estelle.

Interesting that she was
absent from this one.

So why do you think
that is, Alice?

- I haven't dreamt
about the judge

since my aunt Estelle died.

- Your aunt died, Alice?

- Yeah, a few days ago.

- What happened?

- She hit her head
or something. I don't know.

The nurses wouldn't
really give me any details.

- What do you mean, they
wouldn't give you any details?

Did you speak to
someone in charge?

The executive director, maybe?

- Um, I tried,
but it was unclear.

I don't... I don't
exactly know what happened.

- And she was at
Meadow View, right?

- Yeah. Why do you think the box
disappears in this dream?

- Alice...

Your aunt's
death, honey...

How'd you feel
when they told you?

Were you... angry?

Relieved? What?

- I don't know. I mean,
it was a shock when it
first happened, but...

I'm okay now. I'm good now.

- You had a lot of anger

towards her you never had
the chance to express.

You know,

sometimes, when that happens, we
run the whole gamut of emotions.

We have sadness,

anger, guilt,

hostility...

- No, not really.

- Sometimes those feelings
are so deeply rooted--

- Look, I already told you
that I don't feel guilty

or any of those
other things

that you were just saying, so...
You know, my hour is almost up

and I really wanna talk about
what happened in my dream.

- Alice...

I wouldn't be a very good
therapist, would I,

if I didn't try to help you
explore your feelings about
your aunt's death?

- I realise that, but
I wanna focus on the future.

- Yes, but you can't do that
if you have unanswered
questions, honey.

- I don't have any questions!

You're not listening to me! I
don't wanna talk about my aunt!

This is my session,

that I have paid for, and I am
here to figure out my dream,

okay? I don't
wanna talk

about my aunt, so don't bring
her up again, now or ever!

- I'm sorry, Alice. We have to.

- No, we don't!

I'm... Wow!

I'm sorry.

- No, it's okay, Alice.

- I'm really sorry. I...

I'm gonna use the restroom.

What are you doing?

Stop acting crazy.

She doesn't know.

She doesn't know.

- Alice?

Alice?

Alice, are you
all right?

- I'm sorry about your ashtray.
- Don't worry about that.

I'm more concerned with you and
how you're feeling right now.

- Um, I'm okay. I'm better.

I just don't know what
happened in there, though.

- Well, I'd say what happened
is really important.

Unfortunately,
our time's up for today.

But this is something that
we'll work on next time, okay?

- Okay.

Stupid, stupid,
stupid, stupid, stupid!

Why are you acting like that?
You were making progress.

And Linda s--

- [Hello?]
- Hey, Tiff. It's me.
- [Hey, Linda.]

- I've got a question
for you. You know your friend
who works in administration

over at Meadow View rest home?
- [Nicole?]
- Yeah.

Will you have her give me a
call, please? There's something
I need to talk to her about.

- [Sure thing.]
- All right. Thanks.
I appreciate it.

- [Take care.]

- Honey, they're here!

- Coming!

- Hey, you guys!
- Hi! Congratulations!

I'm so excited!
- Thank you.
- Hey, how are ya?

- Good!
- How are you feeling?
- Oh, good. Great.

- Well, I just bought
a big can of protein powder.

- Mmm...
- Mom says it tastes
like plaster.

- But it's good for the baby,
Sara. That's what's important.

- Well, you know what? I think
the baby's doing fine. Hey,

let me help you with your stuff.
- Okay.
- Come on,

I'll show you your room.

Sara! Where
are you?

Sara?

- Can I have this?

- Well, that one was
for the baby. That's
why it was in the crib.

- Can I play with it
till the baby comes?

Then I'll give it to her.

- For a little while.

So, what do you
think of your room?

George even put some new games
in the computer for you.

- I'm gonna sleep
in my mom's bed

with her and the baby
in her tummy.

- But don't you
like this room, Sara?

- It's okay,

but I'm gonna sleep with her
like we do at Lisa's.

- But wouldn't it be fun
to have your own place

to sleep and everything?

- Mom says I can sleep with her.

- Here, let me get that.
- Are you sure?
- Put it right here.

Oh yeah, I can manage.
- You better be careful,

or I'll give you the heavy
ones with all my books.
- Well, don't worry about it.

I drink protein shakes.
- Yeah, apparently so do I!

- All right, come on.

- [Estelle]:
It's starting, Alice.

Just like I said it would.

[Phone ringing]
- Linda Zeller.

- [Nicole Garvy.]
- Oh yes, hi! Thank you
for calling.

Listen, something happened over
at Meadow View with a resident

that I was sort of concerned
about, and I was hoping you
could give me more information.

- [Is this for a relative?]
- No, it's for one
of my patients.

Her aunt passed away there
recently and she's been having
trouble getting details

about what
happened from the staff.
- [That's odd. What's her name?]

- Alice Mailer.
And the resident's name

was Estelle McMurry.

- [Oh, but Alice saw the whole
thing herself!]
- Wait.

Are you telling me Alice was
there when it happened?
- [Sure.]

[She was with her aunt
up in the room.]
- I see.

- [Anything else?]
- No. Thank you.

I appreciate your call.
- [Goodbye.]

Hey, honey. I'm
going for a run.

- I talked with Sara. I don't
have to pick her up till noon.
- Good.

- Wait, you're not going
jogging too, are you?
- Yeah!

- But won't all that
bouncing around

be bad for the baby?
- No, it's fine.

The doctor said a little
light jogging's no problem.

My last 10K was
3 months ago.

- Oh yeah? All right,

see you in a little bit.
Bye, honey.
- Bye.

- Bye.

[Unsettling music]

[Unsettling music]

- They make
a good couple.

I told you, but
you wouldn't listen.

- What?
- You thought

killing me would solve
all your problems.

Ha, ha, ha!

I'm the least
of your problems, Alice.

Ha, ha, ha! Stop sign!

[Tires screeching]

[Sighing]

- What do I have to do
to get rid of you?

- You can't get rid of me.

[Honking]
- Shut the hell up!

I'll go when I'm ready!

[Phone ringing]

Hello?
- Alice, it's Linda.

- Hi, Linda. Um, why are you
calling me on a Saturday?

- Listen, I was thinking about

[our session from
the other day.]

- I'm really sorry
about what happened.

- No, honey, that's not
what I was calling about.

[I think we were making
some real progress when
our time ended.]

I wanna see you again
before next Friday, okay?

[I was hoping maybe
Monday morning would be good
for you? Say around 9 o'clock?]

- Uh, no, it's not. I have
to be in the store by 9.

- All right. Um, how about
afternoon? Say around 4.

- Well, that's not good either.

The store doesn't close until 6.

- I'm sorry, I can't
make it any later

because I teach a class at
the university on Monday nights.

- Okay, uh... Four o'clock then.

- Good. I'll see you then.

- Bye.

- Oh, you cooked!

I thought you were gonna go out
to dinner with George like
you did last Saturday.

Sara wanted to stop
for cheeseburgers.

- Yeah, I thought I would do
something special tonight.

- Well, that's really nice.

Hey, if we're lucky, we'll have
leftovers tomorrow, right?

- So you got a cheeseburger too?

- Yeah. The cravings
have started!

- Well, I'm not so sure

that greasy, salty fast food
is that great for the baby.

- Well, you told us
you ate healthy.

- Well, I don't think a
cheeseburger every now and then

is gonna hurt anybody,
do you? Especially if
I get a French fry.

- Actually, uh, Alice is right.

I think that, uh,

I just let my cravings
get the better of me. So...

We'll eat whatever
you cook.

It smells better than
these cheeseburgers anyway.

- Good.

- Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
I didn't mean to wake you up.

- Mom...

When the baby comes,
what if I like it?

Maybe I'll want a brother
or sister and we could keep it.

- Honey,
I told you.

We can't keep the baby.
It belongs to George and Alice.

- I don't get why
it belongs to Alice.

You're the mommy,

George is the daddy,
and I'm the big sister.

- Well...

Honey, it's complicated.

I'll tell you what.
Why don't you go to sleep?

We'll talk about it in
the morning, okay?
- Okay.

- You know, you don't
always have to take her side.

- Honey, the cheeseburger
was in her mouth.

- George, if it's
not good for the baby,

it's not good for the baby!
And it's our baby, remember?

- Yeah, Alice.
I do remember that.

- It's like she doesn't
care because she knows
she's giving the baby away.

- That is just not true!
She said she ate the same thing
when she was pregnant with Sara!

- You know what,
that's not even the point.

You don't always have
to take her side!

- There are noides
here, Alice!

Everybody wants the same thing!

Listen to me.

The only thing that I care about

is you and the baby. Period.

I just want them
to be happy

and comfortable while
they're living under our roof.

- Okay.

[Unsettling music]

George is the dad.m the mom.

How hard can that be
to explain to your child?

These are pretty slutty.

[Office noises]

- Alice! Hi!
- Hey!

- Hi! I'm... surprised
to see you here, Jennifer.

- George and I sort of
got a last-minute project
and we needed a copywriter.

So Jennifer's gonna be
working with us part-time

for a little while.
- Really?

- It's just for a few days,
but I could really use
the extra money.

- Who knows? After the baby,
maybe it'll become full-time.
I keep telling them

we really need someone in-house.
- Great!

- We're gonna go to lunch.
Wanna come with us?

- Thanks. Actually, I'm here
to have lunch with my husband.

- Okay. We'll
see you later.

- Okay.

That's really convenient.

- Hey, you!
- Hey! You ready to go?

- Ah, I'm an idiot.

I've got a 2 o'clock meeting
I completely forgot about.
- Ohh...

- So I took the liberty
of ordering in your
favourite salad.

- Oh, great!
- Yeah? It'll be
here in a second.

- Okay.
- You look great.
- So do you.

Um, I saw Jennifer
in the hallway...

- Yeah, we're gonna
redo the whole website.
I think it's gonna be

really helpful for her.
- Is she qualified to do that?
- Yeah!

Absolutely.
She was a copywriter,

and I think she knows
quite a bit about html.

- You know, George, I was
thinking that we should
buy her a treadmill

so she can work out
without leaving the house.

- Ah, that's a nice gesture,
baby, but I have a feeling

that she actually likes to get
out of the house when she runs.

You know she was certified as
a personal trainer in college?

- Really?
- Mm-hmm. Who knows?

Maybe our kid will be
an athlete. Wouldn't
that be something?

- Well, I'd rather our baby
be smart, like you.

- Thank you. I gotta tell you,

I really think we lucked out
with Jennifer.

Out of all the surrogates
we looked at,

she's definitely got
the most going for her.

And I tell you, honey,
I think we're gonna have

a beautiful
little baby.

- Why were you prying
into my personal affairs?

- I was the one who recommended
Meadow View to you, remember?

So I was concerned when
you said they wouldn't
give you information.

That's why I called, Alice.

- Well, that really wasn't
any of your business, was it?

- Well, you said you were
having trouble getting details.

I'm sorry, I...
was trying to help.
- I don't need your help!

- Alice, I don't
understand.

Why did you tell me you
weren't there when she died?

- Because I knew you were gonna
do this! I don't wanna talk

about my aunt Estelle!

I... wanna pretend like
she never existed, frankly.

- Then why'd you even go there?
[Alice sighs]

- Because she kept calling me.
She hated Meadow View

and she wanted to move in
with me and George and I
couldn't let her do that.

- So you went there
to tell her that in person?

- Yes! Yes! And
to bring her brochures

of other places
she could go. Nice places.

- She didn't like
those other options?

- No! She kept insisting!
She never listened! You know?

She kept insisting on
moving in with George and me.

And when I said
she couldn't, then...

- When you told her
she couldn't, then...

What was she going to do, Alice?

- Nothing.
- No. You just said:

"When I told her she couldn't,"
like she was threatening
to do something.

- No. No, she wasn't
threatening anything.

I'm done talking about this.

- Don't worry, okay?

We'll get through this
together. I promise.

See you next Friday, huh?
- Yeah.

- Okay.

- [Estelle]:
She's onto you, Alice.

She's going to find out what
you did. It's just a matter

of time.
[Malevolent laugh]

- Goodbye, honey.

[Mysterious music]

[Engine starting]

- Hey! Did you get everything
done that you needed to?

- Yeah, I pretty much
took care of everything.
- Well, good.

At least one of us
is done for the night.
I still have to call Singapore.

- Where's Jennifer?

- Hm? Oh, I think they're
curled up watching a DVD.

Come here, I wanna
show you something.

What do you think of this?
- It's a swing set.

- Yeah. I was thinking
of putting one in the
backyard for Sara.

- I think you're doing
too much for Sara.

- What do you
mean, too much?

- Well, this isn't
her home, George.

- Ah, Allie,
come on!

Look, don't be offended
by what she said.

Kids have a hard time
understanding sometimes.

- Well, you need to understand
that once the baby's born,

we're never gonna
see them again.

- Don't you think that's
a little bit extreme?

- George, Jennifer
is a carrier.

And we both decided on minimal
contact after the birth.

- Yeah, I know what we decided
on, but seeing as how they're--

- Minimal contact means pictures
on the baby's birthday.
That's it.

- Allie, come on!
It's not like they're
gonna be moving to Alaska!

- Well, they may as well,
George, because I don't want
them here when the baby is born!

- Come on, Alice,
there's a bond that forms!

It's--
- I know! That's
what I'm talking about!

You are getting too close
to both of them!

You know what? Jennifer
is carrying our child,
and getting close to Sara,

getting close to any kid,
honey, is just gonna
make us better parents!

- I am not Sara's mother,
thank God,

and you are not her father,
no matter how close you
wanna get to "Jenny!"

I have no interest
in Jennifer

other than making sure
that she is happy and healthy
while she's carrying our child!

- Well, it sure
seems like more than that!
- Well, you know what? It's not.

It's not. And if it's gonna
make you this upset, we need

to ask them to move out,
because personally I don't care

if they're here or not!
Is that what you want?

- No.

- Yeah, I didn't
think so.

You know what, Alice?
I'm going for a walk.

[She clicks her tongue]

- [Estelle]: Alice...

George wants a real family.
Once he sees his baby,

he'll stay with Jennifer
and you'll be all alone.

- You're dead and
you won't shut up!
- Oh, Alice...

I warned you this would happen.
- Be quiet, Aunt Estelle!

- Things are really
falling apart now.

- I know. I know, I know,

I know, I know, I know, I know!

- I'm worried about Alice.
- You are?

- Well, she's been acting
so strange lately,

and she just can't
stop killing people.

- Alice? Is this true?

- No!
- Well,

she killed
Dr. Zeller,

and an aunt that you
never even heard about.

And she killed her father
when she was 12 years old.

- Be quiet! George,

she's a slut! Look at her!

- But she's the mother
of my child.

- No, it's my baby!

- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

No, no, no. Definitely not.

It's too
soon to say.

Well, when the time is right,
we tell everyone. Who cares?

Let the chips fall where
they may at that point.
- No, you can tell me now!

- Let me call you right back.

- Where is she?
- Where's who?
- Jennifer!

- Allie, I was on the phone
to Peter Chan in Singapore!

I told you I had
to make that call!

- Just tell me the truth!
- The truth about what?

- I can't take these secrets,
George! Just tell me...

Are you going to leave me
when the baby comes?

- What?

- Jennifer!
Are you going

to divorce me
and marry her?

Is that your plan?

And I'm not gonna
take the baby.

I think we need to rethink
this living arrangement.

Doesn't seem to be working out.

- I made such a huge mistake.
I didn't... I didn't mean to--
- Alice! Alice!

Just stop!
- You have to tell her
not to leave, George!

- Tell her not to leave?

How is she ever gonna be
comfortable in this house again?

- I know! I made
a mistake! I'm sorry!

Please, you have to convince
her not to go! Please!

- Maybe it'd be better
if she did, Allie.

You've been miserable
since the day she walked
through that door.

- I know.
I know. I, um...

I think I'm just
under a lot of stress.

I'm really worried about
everything, you know.

But I'm gonna be okay,

so please talk
to her, George.

You can fix this.
- Allie, Allie, stop.

Don't do this
to yourself. You're
just making yourself crazy.

I'll go talk to her
tomorrow, okay?
- Okay.

- Right now you just need
to get some sleep, okay?
- You'll talk to her tomorrow?

Okay.
- Let me take you up.

- Anything else?
- [Based on her last
ATM withdrawal,]

[she had at least $100 in cash.]
- Even if it was a robbery
assault,

I still want a list of all
of Dr. Zeller's patients

and anybody else she would
have been involved with.

- [You got it, Marty.]
- Thanks.
- [Take care.]

- How are you this morning?
- Okay.

- Look, um...

About last night...
- Yeah, before you say anything,

I just want you to know that I'm
gonna move back in with Lisa.

It's just not comfortable here.

- I'm sorry.

The last thing I wanted was for
you and Sara to feel unwelcome.

- Well, it's not good
for Alice either.

- This... this baby

is so important
to her...

- Look, I know she's been
through a lot, but--
- She's just terrified

that something's gonna happen
and she's gonna lose
this baby too.

You don't know
how many surrogates

we looked at
before we found you.

If you can just
stick it out,

I think Allie will work through
this like she's worked through
everything else in her life.

She just needs
a little more time.

Look, Jennifer,

I... I... I can't tell you
what to do with your life...

but I hope you stay.

Give Alice
another chance.

- I need some time
to think about it.

I'm not making
any promises.

- I understand.

Thank you.

- Jennifer, I... I just want to
apologise to you for last night.

I'm... very ashamed
of my behaviour

and I'm really sorry.
I was kind of hoping

that I could take you to lunch
today and have a heart-to-heart.

There's a really great
Italian place downtown.

It's authentic.
- Thanks, Alice,

but I actually
already told Lisa

that I would meet her at
Kylie's Café for lunch, so...

another time.

- Sure. Sure.

- We're late.
- I know.

- Got everything?
- Yeah.

- So she's gonna
have lunch with Lisa.

Doesn't she realise
how important this is?

They're gonna talk about me.
They're gonna talk about me.

That's why they didn't
invite me to come along.

- [Estelle]: Jennifer's
seeing through you.
- Be quiet!

I'm trying to think!

- Once Lisa hears what you did,

she'll tell Jennifer
to move back in with her,

and goodbye baby!
- They're gonna talk about me.

- If you don't do something
soon, it'll be too late.

- Hey, Sarge! You got the rest
of those patient files

on the Zeller case?
- On the way.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- Okay, Alice, just...
just go in there and tell
them how sorry you are.

Don't ruin it.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.

- I can't believe it.
- She's completely
out of control.

She got into a big fight
with George last night.
You should've heard her.

She actually
accused George

of wanting to divorce her and
marry me after the baby's born.

- I can't believe it.
You shouldn't be in
a situation like that.

Do you wanna move back in
with me? I mean, I think
you need to get out of there

before things get worse.
- Oh, boy...

- Alice...
- How could you do this to me?

- What?
- Is this what you do?
You come here

and you say terrible things
about me when I'm not around?

- No! Jennifer and I
were just talking!

- You have been against me
from the beginning!

- Alice, please!
- And you lied to me!

You said that you were gonna
stay with us until after
the baby was born!

- Alice, why don't you
just sit down with us and
we can all discuss this?

- If you cared about my opinion,

you would've invited me
in the first place!

- Look, I just want
what's best for everyone.

- No, you don't!
You have wanted her

to be with George
since we started!

- That's not true! How can you
possibly believe that?

- Listen, if you think

that I'm gonna sit back
and let you take my husband
and my baby...

Nobody takes my baby
away, you bitch!
- Alice!

- I'm sorry, I've gotta go.

- You see what you did?
This is your fault!

- Calm down.
Just let me help you.

- You hate me!
- No! But I've never
seen you like this!

- What am I doing?
- It's okay.

Okay, come here. Come here.
Sit down. Sit down.

I'm gonna call George.
I'm gonna call George.

- [Yeah, this is George.]
- George, it's me.
- [Hey.]

- I'm at Kylie's.
Can you come down here,
please? I'm with Alice

[and she's not doing well.]
- What do you mean,
she's not doing well?

- I can't explain.
Just come down, please.

- I'll be right there.

- Alice, it's all right.

[Crying]

You'll be fine.
You'll be okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You okay?
- We lost Jennifer.

- She left pretty upset.

- It's okay, Allie.

Come on. Shh, shh.
Let's go home.

I'll call you in a little bit.
- Okay.

[Sighing]

- Okay... Who's next
on the list?

Alice Mailer, Fountain Heights.

- George, you can't let her go!
- Oh, Alice...
- Jennifer!

Please, I'm so sorry!
- I have to, Alice.

- No, you don't! We can
pretend like none of this

ever happened!
We can! George,

she's gonna take the baby!
- Alice, stop it!

I'll talk to her.

Stay out here.

- I'm done, George!

- Yeah, I'm...

I'm sorry, I...

I never thought it
would get this bad.

- You need to get her some help.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

[Crying]

- Why? Why is this
happening to me?

- Don't be so surprised.
- Leave me alone!

- Go ahead, Alice. Kill
yourself. Your mother did.

- I don't want to...

- Alice!

Honey,
put it down.

- He's leaving with her,
Alice. End it now.

- Shut up!

- I'll call 911.

- If she leaves
this house, George,

I'm gonna do it. I swear to God.

- No, hey, hey, hey, honey,
it's okay. It's okay.

- Please hurry.
She's got a knife and she's
threatening to kill herself.

- [Attention all units:
Report of a 901A]

[at 13 Josephine Road,
Fountain Heights.]

[Female suspect,
armed with a knife.]
- Fountain Heights?

This is Detective Martin,
responding to that 901A.

I'm in the neighbourhood.

- Come on, Allie,
give me the knife.

We're gonna work
everything out.

- I'm so scared, George!

- I know.
I know. I know.

- Do it, Alice.

- Allie, look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.

Listen to me.

I'm gonna
get you help.

Okay?

Please don't
do this, honey.

- They're taking

your baby!

- You betrayed me.

- No. No, Allie,
I didn't.

I didn't.

Come on. Give me
the knife.

[Screaming]

- Help me! Help me!

Please help me!

- Are you Alice Mailer?
- No, she's inside! She just
stabbed her husband!

- Stay here!
- Please hurry!

Oh, God! Oh, my God!

- Don't move!

- I think he's dead.

- This is Detective Martin.

I need an ambulance and backup
at 13 Josephine Road.

One victim.

- [Attention all units:
This is a code 30.
Officer requesting backup]

[at 13 Josephine Road. That's
13 Josephine Road.10-54.
Repeat: 10-54.]

- So, how's that project
coming along?
- Pretty good.

I'll probably spend
the day tomorrow trying
to finish it up. You?

- I have to drop Sara off
at a playdate tomorrow morning,

then I've gotta get caught up
on the writing for that
travel site.

- Is that the last web page?
- Yes, all done!

Last job in Philly. On to
Pittsburgh. New job, new home...

- You've come so far, Jennifer,
and I'm really proud of you.

- I could never have
done it without you.

- I'm really
gonna miss you guys.
- I'm gonna miss you too.

You gotta come visit often...
if your new boyfriend will
let you get away.

- Oh, he will.
[Laughing]
- Come on, let's go eat.

- Mmm! Yummy!

Some more? Where's
the airplane going?

It's going into
the airport! Ahh...

- You want fried eggs?
- No... scrambled.

- Okay.

- Yesterday's statement by
the President that he believes
the peace talks are going well

and that an agreement will be
reached soon is being greeted

with some scepticism...
- Aunt Lisa!
- In local news,

authorities are saying
that they have recaptured
2 of the 3 female inmates

from the Kendall Nowlin
Institute for the
Criminally Insane

who escaped this morning,
but that a third inmate
remains at large.

[Suspenseful music]

- Morning!
- Morning!

- Morning.
- Good morning!
- Can I help?

- Mom wants to know if
you want fried or scrambled.

- Scrambled, please.

Do you want me to watch Shannon
while you take Sara
this morning?

- Yeah! Do you mind?
- No, not at all.
- That'd be great.

- Yummy!

[Suspenseful music]

- All right, you got everything?

- Yeah.

- It's time to go to sleep,
little Shannon.

Go to sleep. Go to sleep.

Ohh yeah...

Shh... Sleepy time.

Ah, yes! Go to
sleep, baby!

Go to sleep, baby.

[Baby stirring]

- Bye, Mom!
- Have a good time, sweetheart!

- Hi, Sara! How are you?
- Hi! Fine!

- I realise they said
they were headed out
of the country, but...

Did anybody notify
Jennifer Adler? 'Cause I don't
think Alice is going anywhere

without her baby.
- [No, boss. Nobody said
anything to me.]

- All right, all right.
Just do me a favour, all right?

Send a patrol car out to the
house just to be safe.
- [Right away.]

- Ohh! Look at you!

You're so beautiful!
[The baby prattles]

Hello! Ohh yeah!

You're such a beauty!

We don't have much time.

We gotta get packed.

[Lullaby playing]

- Lisa? I'm home!

[Baby prattling]

Hey!

Hi!

Who turned this on, huh?

Where's your aunt Lisa?

Lisa?

[Plaintive yelp]

[Muffled screams]

Oh, my God!
[Muffled scream]

Ah!

- I came for my baby.

- You can't have her, Alice!

- Well, if the psych ward
couldn't stop me, what
makes you think that you can?

- She needs me! You know that!

- I'm her mother.

- She isybaby.
[Police siren approaching]

- They get along so well.

- Sara loves
her little sister.

- Yeah, but wait till they start
fighting, just like we did.
- Hmm...

I hope that doesn't happen.
- It's only natural.

When you put 2 kids together
under the same roof,

they're gonna be rivals.

- Not just kids, Lisa.

Not just kids.
