A BASTARD.

ONE OF THOSE?

SINCE WHEN:

DO YOU SMOKE?

YOU WANT TO TALK?

I'M SCARED NIC.

OF WHAT HONEY?

THE BABY.

WHAT, IS THERE SOMETHING

WRONG WITH CAITLIN?

I'VE JUST BEEN

ON PINS AND NEEDLES

WITH HER EVER:

SINCE SHE WAS BORN.

I KEEP THINKING:

SOMETHING TERRIBLE

IS GOING TO:

HAPPEN TO HER.

NOTHING'S GOING TO

HAPPEN TO HER HONEY.

IT DID WITH AMANDA.

LOOK... WHAT HAPPENED

WITH AMANDA WAS TERRIBLE.

FOR ALL OF US.

BUT YOU HAVE:

TO LET THAT GO.

YOU'VE GOT A HEALTHY,

BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHY DON'T WE JUS BLOW THIS FEAST.

WHY DON'T WE JUS BLEND SOME MARGUERITAS

AND JUS CHILL OUT?

AAAH.

PETER'S PARENTS ARE

ALREADY ON THE WAY.

I'LL BE OKAY.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT,

BECAUSE I'M THE FAMILY

SCREW UP, REMEMBER?

I'M GLAD

YOU ARE HERE.

YEAH WELL FOR A:

SECOND BACK THERE

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING

TO WHISK ME TO DEATH.

TO MOM, DAD... WHO BRAVED

THE STORM TO BE HERE.

TO NICOLE; KITCHEN

HELP EXTRAORDINAIRE.

DEVIN, WHO HAS

KEPT ME ON MY TOES

THESE LAST FEW MONTHS.

AND, MOST OF ALL TO THE

MASTER CHEF, LOVE OF MY LIFE

AND MOTHER OF OUR

BEAUTIFUL, DARLING DAUGHTER.

TO JAMIE.

TO JAMIE.

OKAY LET'S EAT.

YOUR SISTER IS SO GORGEOUS.

DIDN'T PETER MENTION

SHE USE TO MODEL?

YEAH, SHE STILL

DOES SOMETIMES.

SHE SURE HAS GO THE BODY FOR IT.

YEAH.

HEY JAMIE, WHY DON' YOU GO GET KATIE?

YOU KNOW I JUS PUT HER TO SLEEP SO...

OH COME ON HONEY...

THEY CAME ALL THIS

WAY... WHY DON'T YOU

GIVE THEM JUST ONE

LAST LOOK BEFORE THEY GO.

OKAY, BUT NO IF SHE'S SLEEPING.

I HATE BEING AN IDIOT.

THERE IS NOTHING

WRONG WITH MY BABY.

SHE IS PROBABLY ASLEEP.

OF COURSE:

SHE IS ASLEEP.

WHO LEF THE WINDOW OPEN?

PETER!

JAMIE!

JAMIE!

JAMIE!

JAMIE!

JAMIE!

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT IS IT?

IS IT CAITLIN?

HEY HEY SWEETIE...

SHE'S FINE,

HONEY WHAT HAPPENED?

I TRIPPED.

YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF US.

DEVIN, WHAT DID I TELL YOU

ABOUT LEAVING:

THOSE MARBLES AROUND?

YOUR AUNTIE COULD

HAVE BROKEN HER NECK.

I DIDN'T LEAVE THEM OUT.

SO I SUPPOSE THEY

GOT THERE ON THEIR OWN?

I DIDN'T DO IT, I SWEAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU GET TO BED:

RIGHT NOW MISTER.

GO... GO...

HONEY WHAT HAPPENED?

IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU

SCREAMED BEFORE YOU FELL?

NO...

I SCREAMED AS I FELL.

DO YOU THINK:

IT'S POSSIBLE...?

TAKE YOUR TIME.

DO YOU THINK:

IT'S POSSIBLE

FOR A BABY:

TO BE BORN EVIL?

EVIL ACTIONS ARE THE RESUL

OF CONSCIOUS:

CHOICE, JAMIE.

A CHOICE INFANT'S

AREN'T CAPABLE OF MAKING.

DO YOU THINK:

CAITLIN'S EVIL?

SOMETIMES...

SOMETIMES I LOOK

AT THAT BABY MONITOR AND

I SEE HER SITTING THERE

WIDE AWAKE,

JUST THINKING ABOUT ME.

THINKING ABOU WAYS TO KILL ME.

JAMIE.

IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR

WOMEN SUFFERING SEVERE

POST PARTUM DEPRESSION TO

FIXATE ON THE NEWBORN AS THE

SOURCE OF EVIL OR

DANGER IN THE MONTHS

FOLLOWING THE BIRTH.

YOU ARE NO ALONE, JAMIE.

I AM ALONE.

AND PETER'S TOO

BUSY WITH WORK.

AND NICOLE IS DRIVING

ME CRAZY AND EVEN THEN...

I'M HERE FOR YOU JAMIE.

AND FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD

ME YOUR FAMILY WANTS TO HELP

BUT YOU HAVE GO TO REACH OUT TO THEM.

MAYBE I JUST WASN'T READY

TO BE A MOTHER AGAIN.

I THINK YOU PUT YOUR

FINGER ON THE DEEPER ISSUE.

I REALIZE:

AMANDA'S DEATH IS

A VERY PAINFUL:

SUBJECT FOR YOU,

BUT WE HAVE TO:

BROACH IT EVENTUALLY.

WHY DON'T YOU

TELL ME ABOUT HER?

I LOVED HER.

AMANDA WAS:

SUCH A GOOD GIRL.

WHAT WAS SHE LIKE?

WHAT WAS HER:

FAVOURITE FOOD?

SHE LOVED SUGAR COOKIES.

SHE WOULD HAVE EATEN

THEM EVERYDAY IF I LET HER.

WHAT ELSE?

DID SHE:

LIKE TO PLAY?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I UMM ...I DON'T WANT TO

TALK ABOUT HER RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S OKAY JAMIE.

WHEN YOU ARE READY.

MOMMY.

MOMMY.

MOMMY.

IT'S FREEZING IN HERE.

IT'S SO COLD.

MONDAY'S CHILD

IS FAIR OF FACE.

TUESDAY'S CHILD

IS FULL OF GRACE.

WEDNESDAY'S CHILD

IS FULL OF WOE.

WEDNESDAY'S CHILD

IS FULL OF WOE.

YOU WERE BORN ON A

WEDNESDAY WEREN'T YOU KATE?

JUST LIKE YOUR SISTER.

WHY ARE YOU:

DOING THIS TO ME?

WHY ARE YOU:

DOING THIS TO ME?

JAMIE?

JAMIE, HONEY WAKE UP.

OH, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

YEAH YOU JUST SCARED ME.

I MUST HAVE:

FALLEN ASLEEP.

IT DOESN'T LOOK

TOO COMFORTABLE.

COME HERE SWEETHEART.

SHHH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HMMM.

YOU ARE STARING:

AT NICOLE.

WHAT?

YOU WERE STARING

AT MY SISTER'S ASS.

WHAT ARE YOU:

TALKING ABOUT?

WHY DON'T YOU

JUST ADMIT IT?

ADMIT WHAT?

THAT YOU WANT TO

SLEEP WITH HER.

I DON' BELIEVE THIS.

JAMIE, YOU

NEED HELP.

OH.

I NEED HELP?

YOU'RE THE ONE STARING

AT MY SISTER'S ASS.

IS THAT HOW:

YOU GET OFF?

FANTASIZING:

ABOUT HER?

THAT'S

DISGUSTING.

Hey!

HI HOW YA DOING?

YOU ALRIGHT?

DON'T TALK TO HER ABOUT ME.

AMANDA.... AAAH?

MR. ASHFORD?

YES.

MY NAME IS:

SUSANNA RUSSELL.

I'M A

PSYCHIATRIST.

JAMIE IS:

MY PATIENT.

I'M SORRY.

JAMIE NEVER:

MENTIONED YOU.

THE HOSPITAL CONTACTED

ME WHEN SHE CHECKED IN.

HOW IS SHE DOING?

SHE GOT A BAD CUT ON

HER FINGER BUT SHE'S FINE.

THEY ARE JUST FINISHING

UP THE STITCHES NOW.

WHY IS MY WIFE SEEING

YOU DR. RUSSELL?

I'VE BEEN HELPING

JAMIE DEAL WITH THE

DEPRESSION SHE HAS STRUGGLED

WITH SINCE CAITLIN'S BIRTH.

WELL YOU DON'T KNOW HOW

GLAD I AM TO HEAR THAT.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO

GET HER TO SEE SOMEONE.

MR. ASHFORD, I'M WORRIED

THAT JAMIE'S

CONDITION IS WORSENING.

SHE COULD BE SUFFERING

FROM POST PARTUM PSYCHOSIS.

JAMIE'S HAD A ROUGH TIME,

BUT SHE'S NOT PSYCHOTIC.

I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOU YOUR WIFE'S STATE OF MIND.

SHE ALMOST CU OFF HER FINGER.

THAT WAS:

AN ACCIDENT.

WAS IT?

YOU THINK SHE DID

THAT ON PURPOSE?

THAT'S CRAZY.

DURING HER LAST VISI JAMIE TOLD ME THA

SHE THINKS THAT CAITLIN

IS TRYING TO KILL HER.

JAMIE WOULD:

NEVER SAY THAT.

I WOULD LIKE YOUR PERMISSION

TO HOLD JAMIE IN THE

PSYCHIATRIC WARD HERE

FOR A FEW DAYS.

I'M NOT PUTTING MY

WIFE IN A LOONEY BIN.

IT'S AN EXCELLEN FACILITY MR. ASHFORD.

JUST LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE

A PROPER ASSESSMENT.

JAMIE NEEDS:

SOMEONE TO TALK TO.

SHE DOESN'T NEED

TO BE LOCKED AWAY.

IN 1987 CHERYL MASEP

DROVE HER CAR:

OVER HER INFANT SON.

SHE SAID IT WAS:

THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD

GET RELIEF FROM THE

VOICES IN HER HEAD.

A FEW YEARS AGO,

ANDREA YATES DROWNED HER

FIVE SONS IN A BATHTUB,

THEN SHE CALLED 911

SAYING SHE COULDN' COPE ANY LONGER.

JAMIE...

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN AT THIS

AWHILE AND I WAN

YOU TO KNOW:

YOU'RE DOING GREAT,

BUT THERE IS STILL ONE

SUBJECT WE NEED TO DISCUSS.

AMANDA.

JAMIE?

WE ARE UP AT CHUCK

AND NICOLE'S COTTAGE.

AMANDA WAS:

OUTSIDE PLAYING.

COME ON BABE...

IT'S YOUR TURN.

HONEY, IT'S YOUR TURN.

YOU KNOW I WAN TO GET AMANDA.

I DON'T WAN HER WANDERING OFF.

WAIT, WAIT WAIT,

FIRST PLAY YOUR TURN.
