l don't know.

Maybe because

it was your birthday.

l felt bad about it

afterwards.

Why would you need

to hide Mara?

l don't know why!

l'm telling you now.

Oould we just drop this?

What do you want from me?

What?

l feel like

your accusing me

of something.

Accusing you of what?

Oh, Sophie,

come here.

What, what?

Are you doing

anything with Mara?

No, of course not!

And l wouldn't.

And she's--

Oome here!

l need to go work.

Oh, Sophie.

You need to sleep.

[breaths deeply]

[cries gently]

[loud crickets' chirp]

[thriller music]

[chirping increases]

[door closes]

Oraig, there's someone

in the studio.

Someone's in the studio.

lt's all fine, Sophie.

You just forgot to lock up.

No, l'm positive.

l locked up.

You're probably

so tired.

You just thought you did.

Somebody's getting

at your keys.

We changed the locks.

What if somebody at the office

is getting at your new keys?

l honestly

don't think so.

What about Mara?

Please, don't go on

about her again tonight.

You know, all this started

when she began

working for you.

Look, l'm tired.

You're tired.

Why don't you take a pill?

Get some sleep

and l'll take the girls

to school in the morning.

Alright.

[thriller music]

[thriller music]

[bell rings]

[muffled voices]

[soft music]

[girls chatting]

[telephone rings]

[message box]

Sophie, it's Rina.

J ust want to ring

how the book's coming along.

They're planning

the mother of all launches

at the Frankfurt book fair.

l just need to know

that you're on target.

l hope everything's alright.

Please, call me.

[soft music]

[birds chirping]

What time is it?

You didn't come

to bed at all, did you?

l found my dress.

Well, there you are.

You see,

everything turns up

in the end.

Have you been smoking?

lt smells so bad.

l still think

it's really strange.

lt's not exactly like that.

Yes, Rina,

l'll make the deadline.

No, the kids have just,

you know, l've been

very busy, that's all.

Don't worry

if l don't call you.

lt'll be fine.

We'll get there.

Yeah !

( Ruby )

Mom !

l gotta go.

Ruby's calling me.

Bye.

Did you knock?

What's that smell?

You know you're not supposed

to disturb me while l'm working

unless it's an emergency.

ls this an emergency?

l can't find Buddee.

An emergency!

Use your eyes.

l'll show where to look

from now on.

When we're having play dates

and l'm working,

what's the rule?

You don't disturb me.

lt's right here.

You must have taken it

to school, Ruby.

Mom, l'm telling you

l didn't.

l put it here.

l'm telling you.

lt has to be here

somewhere.

Sophie, what are you doing?

l'm trying to find Buddee.

Oan l help you

put things back?

No, no, everything's

under control.

l'm fine.

lf you're not in bed soon,

l'm coming to get you.

lf you don't sleep,

you go nuts.

[muffled complaint]

[clank]

[water running]

[closes tap]

l did not put these

in there.

l did not put these

in there.

[thriller music]

[clocks ticking]

[male voice]

Mara?

Hey, Mara,

are you there?

[clocks ticking]

Where have you been?

Well, not for much longer.

Gotcha!

(Mara )

What do you think

you're doing?

Sophie.

(J immy )

My wife didn't want

to bring this here

but l've insisted.

l cannot and will not

allow anything

that puts my family at risk.

l have a feeling

that Sophie Hartley

was watching me

before Mara found her

in Jessy's room.

What was she doing there?

Your Honor,

it is very,

very frightening

to find someone

in your child's room.

(Mara )

lt was really odd

at the museum.

l hadn't send

the invitations out

so she didn't actually know

where my exhibition

was being held.

And it was so strange

that she ran away.

We know each other.

And J immy thinks

she must have been

following me.

( Sophie )

Your Honor--

Your Honor,

l know this sounds crazy

but l believe M rs Toufiey

has been systematically

braking into our house

and stealing things.

She stole my youngest child's

favorite toy,

a computer game

named Buddee.

Different kinds

of family photos.

My dress.

And she put wasps

in my studio.

Wasps.

There are lots of wasps around

at the moment, M rs Hartley.

l had them

at my place, too.

lt's a plague.

Our neighbor saw her

braking into our house.

ls the neighbor

waiting outside?

No, she's--

Maggie's elderly

and she's not feeling well

and l couldn't get her

to come here.

Your Honor,

l know what l did was wrong

and l'm sorry.

But l'm protecting

my family.

(J udge )

M r Singleton,

what do you think's

been going on?

( Oraig )

Your Honor,

my wife's under a lot

of pressure at the moment.

l'm inclined to think

that it's really my fault.

l should've done more.

Her mother passed away

recently

and l don't think

under normal circumstances

she would have broken in

like this.

l , l--

She's exhausted.

She won't sleep.

How can l sleep

when someone's

breaking into our house?

(J udge )

The Oourt will come to order.

You can stand down,

M r Singleton.

l think the facts in this case

are fairly clear.

l note that neither side

disputes that Sophie Hartley

was found in the household

of Mara Toufiey

and J im M iddleborough.

So l rule therefore

on this point of fact.

Please, stand, would you?

You were caught unauthorized

in the home

of the complainant.

So l have no alternative

but to grant an intervention

order against you.

You are prohibited

from traveling within

500 meters of Mara Toufiey,

her family,

her home,

or any place

where you might reasonably

expect to find her.

And furthermore

l strongly recommend

that you see counseling

at your earliest convenience.

You think l've really

let you down, don't you?

Listen, Soph,

l won't work

such long hours, you know.

Put the things

together again.

She took my dress.

The dress turned up.

She put it back.

O'mon, the dress was here

all the time.

You just didn't notice it.

Soph, tell me,

you must promise me, please.

You won't follow Mara again.

[thriller music]

[sobs]

[thriller music]

John !

l'm home!

l'm early.

She bought an owl pot.

What?

l saw Mara buy an owl pot

exactly like mine.

When did you see Mara?

Why would she buy an owl pot

just like mine?

Don't you see

what it means?

You could go

to jail for this.

Listen to me!

Since you've been in court,

those kids have been hiding

like wounded animals.

They're not stupid.

They know something's

going on.

l'm trying to protect

my family, that's why

l'm doing it!

Keep away from Mara.

Stop even thinking about her.

l can't believe

you're doing this to me.

lt's all about you, isn't it?

lt's always about you !

We hear all about

your troubles

but since the kids

were born, you've never

worried about me.

You've never been there for me.

You've never asked about me.

[shouting]

Oan't you see l'm trying?

Sit down.

l am talking to you !

Oh, Soph, l'm sorry.

Look,

even if Mara

did do those things,

she can't do them now.

Not now.

Everything's in the open.
