a long time ago.
Better open it.
Hello?
Hello?
Jesus.
Look at this. This is appalling.
This is appalling.
The plumber's on his way. I am paying him
double overtime so he can get here tonight.
Hello?
- I will get some of these lights on.
- Mrs. Williams?
- You OK?
- I am awake.
The plumber will be here in 15 minutes.
- Mr. Murray?
- This is just a big misunderstanding. OK?
Mr. Veeck did not keep me informed.
This will be fixed tonight.
- Or she's staying at the Plaza, right?
- It will definitely be fixed tonight.
- And I want to talk to Veeck.
- I will get him.
You OK?
- Migraine, huh?
- Yeah.
- I will keep my voice low.
- Thanks.
I spoke with your husband's lawyer
and Ceci's fine.
Kyle will bring her to school in the morning.
OK.
Now, this part is going to piss you off.
They want Ceci to see a psychologist
to be evaluated.
There's nothing we can do about that
but say yes. So we're saying yes.
OK.
- Here we are.
- Mr. Veeck.
I had an interesting conversation
with Mrs. Rimsky today.
She was very surprised to hear
her daughter isn't living upstairs.
- In 10F?
- Mm-hm.
- You said they left together.
- That's what the Russian said.
No, she left without her daughter.
She didn't think she could take care of her.
Mrs. Rimsky's an alcoholic.
She claimed she was going for treatment,
and had to leave the girl behind
with the father.
You knew that, didn't you?
Only Mr. Rimsky didn't take Natasha
with him.
in Moscow today
and she said her son
is living with her alone.
- So he lied to me. What do I know?
- You had to know.
Well, we will find out tomorrow. I have
a phone appointment with Mr. Rimsky.
- Why did you lie about the little girl?
- I didn't want to get involved, that's all.
Did you see Natasha after her mother left?
It's a simple question, Veeck.
Yeah. I see her. I see her that afternoon.
I see her playing on the stairs.
Then the next day the father tells me she
leave with the mother. I ask no questions.
- Well, if he killed her, it's not my business.
- "Killed her"?
"If he killed her"?
Plumber.
You got a lot more than a leak to fix,
Mr. Murray.
Mr. Veeck.
- If you could just...
- Come on in, just right inside.
Thank you.
Some kind of pipe or something.
Yeah, well, see, that is a brand-new pipe.
So, this will all be patched tomorrow.
- By professionals.
- By professionals. Good as new.
It better be. I am calling NYPD
OK. I mean, I am sure there's
a simple explanation for that, but...
So, goodnight.
And, again, I am so sorry about all this.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- You going to be OK?
- Yeah. I will be fine.
- You sure?
- Yeah, I am feeling much better, actually.
- I got to go. Family.
- OK. Mm.
I will keep my cell on all night
and if you need me just call.
- Any hour.
- Thanks.
- Thanks again. Bye.
- OK. Bye.
She left you behind.
They both left you behind.
Help me.
Wait.
I told Murray,
I told him a million times.
It's not my job.
I am not a goddamn plumber.
How you feeling? You OK?
- You warmed up?
- I am OK.
Cops think Veeck probably left the
tank open and somehow she fell in.
discovered she'd fallen in weeks ago.
That's why he hadn't cleaned it in so long.
They might have enough to charge him
with criminal negligence.
They'd arrest the parents, but they're out
of state and there are no witnesses, so...
The truth is, they will probably
never know what happened.
Her mother left her.
The father assumed
that she was with her mom,
and the mother assumed
she was with her father.
Guess everyone just assumed.
No one really cared what happened to her.
That's what it looks like.
I will tell Mary you have been a prince.
You just accomplished the impossible,
Mrs. Williams.
You actually made me glad
I went to law school.
- Thank you.
- It's OK.
I can probably get you
a year's free rent out of Murray.
Oh. No, it's OK.
I am moving.
- Call me in the morning, OK?
- Yeah.
- Come on, princess.
- Bye, Daddy.
Bye.
- How are you feeling?
- Good.
Yeah?
OK. I will be here after school to pick
you up. See you after school.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Thank you for taking care
of Ceci yesterday.
It's OK. I am really worried
about her mental state.
- I am too.
- You are?
Yeah.
So, I have been thinking...
I don't want her
What do you mean?
I want to look for a place in Jersey City
so that shared custody
will be easier for both of us.
And we can do, you know,
one week with me, and one week with you.
We can see what works best.
- You serious?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, you know, you were right about the
school here. I checked it out. It's good.
- Maybe I could get a place...
- No, it's fine.
After this, we will get a...
I will see you later.
- When are we moving?
- Not until next week, sweetheart.
so we can pack it up now.
You OK? Are you feeling OK?
What are you thinking about?
Why did her mommy forget about her?
Do you know how much I love you?
- You sure?
- Mm-hm.
Do you know I would do anything for you?
Yes.
That's a promise.
- Honey, do you want bubbles tonight?
- Uh-huh.
There you are.
That's so great, Dahlia.
Well, I think it's going to be for the best.
And moving out of here,
that is definitely for the best.
What do you want to do? Be a chef? OK.
Let's see if we can make you a chef hat.
There.
Now, what are you going to cook?
Mac and cheese?
Look, I should go get Ceci out of the tub
before she turns into a prune.
- She's so cute.
- So... Oh.
Here she is now.
Yeah. So I will talk to you tomorrow.
- OK. Take care. Bye.
- OK. You too.
Goodnight.
- Mommy, can you read me a story?
- Of course I can, honey.
Let's see which one you picked.
We haven't read this one
in a long time, have we?
"There were once a man and a woman
who had long in vain wished for a child."
We need more snow, don't you think?
Then let's get some more snow.
...beautiful Rapunzel.
Don't leave me.
I want you to be my mommy.
- Don't leave me.
- Ceci.
You can't leave me.
Ceci.
Ceci.
Ceci.
Ceci.
Ceci.
No.
Ceci.
Ceci.
Ceci.
Oh, God.
Let her go. You let her go.
No.
No. Please.
Natasha. Let her go. Please.
We will stay.
We will stay here with you.
What do you want?
I will be your mother.
- Please.
- Forever?
Forever.
Forever. Yes.
I will be your mother forever.
Take me. Please, take me.
Yeah, OK. So we got an 11-46,
Caucasian female, aged 30,
and a six-year-old girl with shock.
Trying to locate the father.
Ceci.
Let's go home, honey.
Would you get the door?
We did this project. We did a whole bunch
of them. A whole neighborhood.
What was this one about?
Do you remember?
That was me and then that was you.
- That was a tree.
- A tree.
- And then that's a little angel.
