My baby is very special, and she is

going to be a famous dancer.

Isn't she beautiful?

Come with me!

It's nicer in here.

Won't you please sit down?

Isn't this just lovely? It's so

nice having tea with you.

My name will be Daisy, and

let's make your name...

...Lilly!

We're best friends. Best friends, forever.

He didn't have the right to do that.

- I don't know, but maybe it will...

- What the hell are you talking about?

Maybe, it will, what?

- Please.

- Maybe, it will be better in the morning?

Shut up! Shut the hell, up!

Did you take your pills?

It's alright. We'll be alright.

What did you say?

Nothing, daddy.

Don't you lie to me.

What are you doing?

He wasn't very nice. He scares me, too.

I wish it was just you, and me.

You don't have a little friend!

Wait! Tom!

Emma! Emma!

Emma!

Honey, you're all wet.

Well, good morning to you, too.

Honey, I'm suppose to be

observing you some.

I'm fine, stop worrying.

Well, that's what I do.

I worry about you.

Well, why don't you come

in and save me?

You're missing all the fun.

- Good morning, Molly.

- Dr. T, you're in early!

You're first appointment isn't until 11.

Yeah, I was just going to

do a little reading...

And I always enjoy keeping

you company.

Remember, I'm off at noon.

Oh, I've got my whole day

planned around it.

Where are we going first?

Well... Where do you wanna go?

I don't know. Well... it's just...

it's just so exciting.

I mean... It's a special day.

It's gotta be perfect.

I think it will be totally perfect.

- Let me know if you need anything.

- I will, I'll be right in there, OK?

And, I'll be right out here.

Brad?

Do you want to talk about it?

I think that sometimes, we

all have those feelings.

It can be very difficult finding out

who our true friends are.

But we all need someone we

can rely on heavily.

And this is what this is,

right? This is a trust issue.

Sometimes, it's OK to push people

away, to not let them in.

It's not selfish.

You have to put yourself first.

I think we've made good progress today.

Good morning. How's are you sir? How's

Mrs. Turner? I haven't seen her in ages.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

No, no, no, I'm sure she'd like

to know you've asked.

- Please give her my best.

- I will.

Now, I understand you want a transfer

from the trust to your checking account?

- That's right.

- Easily done, as always.

Good, good to hear.

Alright, let me just

pull up your file here.

OK...

Uh.. Uh... Nothing serious,

just a formality...

But ah... your power of attorney

has expired.

What? I don't know they could expire.

And without it, you don't have any

authority to access the trust.

I ah... ah... have expenses. I have daily

expenses that need to be taken care of.

I mean, this... this... is exactly the

type of thing that upsets Emma...

...she likes to know that things are going

smooth, without complications.

I understand, but her attorney is going to

have to take care of it.

- So, I need to talk to John?

- Yeah.

OK.

It's always good to see you, Tom.

Good seeing you.

The trust has stringent rules...

...all I can do is apply them. I'm bound

by her fathers will. We all are.

Of course.

I'm sure you know, that Emma is very

grateful for everything...

you have done for her,

and for her family.

Her parents were my first clients.

I was shocked, which is an

understatement, when all that happened.

And Emma is like a daughter to

me. It's my only active file.

Brad, I must go see her.

I can't just issue power of attorney...

without being sure she's capable

of signing it.

She's very capable, and she's doing a

lot better these days.

- And the doctors would agree?

- Yes, of course.

You... you should know, that she wants

this done, as quickly as possible.

- Yes, yes, of course.

- Good.

How was your day?

Um... um... fine!

Fine. Yeah, I just laid down, now.

Here you go.

I'll make dinner for us tonight, OK?

Yeah. Veggies on my half.

"Mike's Pizza, can I help you?"

No... it can't be.

Aaaahhh!!!... Aagghh!!

"You OK? What's going on."

Honey? Emma, what happened?

Make her go away.

Make who go away? Huh?

I don't need her. Tell her... tell

her, I don't need her.

Sh... sh... there's nobody here,

it's just us.

It's OK. It's just me, and you.

Did... did you hear her?

Tell me... tell me, you heard her.

I'll go get you a sleeping pill, OK?

No... No, no, no, I don't want

any more pills.

They're not helping.

I told you that.

Well... what options do you have?

You can't stay here, locked up in this

house, your whole life...

...with your imaginary friend.

They said they heard a scream, and

then you hung up the phone.

It's really nothing. But my wife, she...

I have to see her, sir.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Come on inside.

Cancel Unit 7, I'm 10-13, this location.

She's... she's upstairs... I just...

She's taking anti-psychotics.

It's suppose to help with these

hallucinations that she has.

You're a doctor, I suppose?

- Yeah, that's right. Dr. Turner.

- Officer Page.

Come on upstairs.

Hey... hey... hey. Come here.

Hey, it's OK.

It's alright.

She's OK.

It's OK, babe.

Don't feel badly, it must be tough.

Well, it's tougher for her.

Does she see dead people?

I wouldn't know. I don't see,

what she sees.

Oh, right, yeah.

It's just I had this guy once, totally

freaked out, seeing dead people.

- Right, be safe.

- Bye.

- Hey!

- Hey.

I'm sorry I freaked out, last night.

No, don't worry about it.

I though we said that living with

you was boring, right?

We're going to be OK.

Alright? We'll get through this, I promise.

Now, don't forget about tonight.

Dinner reservations are at 7.

Hey!

You'll be, OK.

Are you ready?

Um...

...You know, I think I like the

red one, better.

OK.

Maybe, put your hair up too.

It's shows off your beautiful face.

By the way, I think you look, great.

I'll be downstairs.

To the beautiful birthday girl.

Thank you.

Wonderful.

There's a whole world out here. And

I want to experience it with you.

I really think that we should do stuff

like this more often.

Just, give me time.

I... I... can do this. I need to

do this for me.

For us.

Oh, my God!

Oh, God!

I'm... I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm just so tired...

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

Did you see somebody you know?

Can we... can we go?

Honey, you bring those everywhere.

Everywhere I take you.

I'll go get the check.

Yeah... No, we're done here.

Yeah, we've got to cut it short.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm... I'm sorry. I can make it up to you.

Don't worry about it, OK?

Let's go inside.

"SURPRISE!"

Oh my God!

A little something I planned for you.

- You're sweet.

- Happy Birthday, babe.

- Hi.

- Emma.

Look, don't get me wrong, buddy. I just

heard she isn't feeling too good....

- ...been staying inside.

- No, she's fine.

Yeah? Peg says she hasn't been

outside in ages.

That's an anxiety issue.

- That's got to drag on you?

- No.

No... No... marriage is all about patience.
