It's cherry pits.

Hey, Burnsie!

Burnsie, can we call him now?

- They found them.

- You shitting me.

They found the girls. Alive.

Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss. And you

must be Annabel. / I must be.

Lucas.

How are they?

Well, just let me warn you.

This won't be easy.

We're very fortunate, that Victoria was

old enough to retain much of her vocabulary.

But it's still too early to determine

if this development../ What about the other one?

That's a different story.

Sh*t.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Victoria.

Is that you, Lilly?

Hey..

No, no, no. It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

It's okay. It's okay.

I brought something for you.

For your eyes.

When you were a little girl.

You had a pair of these. You remember?

I was gonna put.. That's okay.

Just gonna put them here.

It's okay.

Yeah.

That's it.

Daddy?

Oh, no, no, honey.

Honey, no, I'm not your Daddy.

I'm your Daddy's brother.

Remember Uncle Luke?

Dad?

It's okay.

- Dad?

- It's okay.

Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss, Your Honor.

The girls have been in my care at the Institute.

- Since they were found 87 days ago.

- And how would you define their progress?

Solid, and outstandingly fast.

If I may?

Your Honor, Victoria and Lilly Desange

were found in deplorable conditions.

Isolated, starved.

They feared and distrusted all physical contact.

Their emotional growth was

clearly compromised by their abandonment.

In order to survive such extreme isolation,

the girls created an imaginary guardian.

A parent figure, to feed them,

sing to them, protect them.

They called her:
"Mama".

Victoria and Lilly have a real chance

to have a normal life, though.

With the right care, physical emotional development,

and much needed love and affection. They'll get better.

Thank you, Dr. Dreyfuss.

Ms. Podolski. Would you care

to address the Court?

Good morning, Your Honor. Jeffrey Desange murdered

my niece. And abandoned his daughters in the forrest.

And now his brother did an extraordinary thing.

Lucas never gave up on his nieces.

But he did it for the girls. Not for himself.

So, if he still has their best interest at heart,

he must know neither his salary, nor his very small

apartment are suitable for the raising of 2 children.

- Let alone, 2 children with a very special needs.

- How many kid did you raise, Jean?

Not as many as you, Lucas.

Of couse she wants the girls, Lucas.

Stand on her shoes first.

She can't just sweep in, and take them.

They are not hers to take.

I'm sure that's not entirely fair.

I'll tell you, what's not fair.

It's not fair is she gets to buy my nieces.

Is that really such a bad thing?

- What?

- Annabel plays in the band..

You draw pictures for a living.

Where do you live? Do you have room for

children in your life? I mean, really..

What are you saying, Gerald?

When it comes to the girls' welfare..

Family Court judge is pretty much

oblige to act on my recommendation.

And right now, I'll be lying if I didn't

say it was a slam dunk for Ms. Podolski.

But the truth is..

I don't want them living on the other

side of the country anymore than you do.

So, we can realy really help each other out

right now. You want the girls..

- I need continued access to them.

- What are we gonna do?

This house, courtesy of the Institute,

is used for case studies. Rent-free.

- You move to the house, you get the girls.

- This is a joke, right?

Mr. Desange, is your brother still alive?

Oh, son of a b*tch.

- Look, Jean..

- No.

I just wanna see them.

That's all.

You'll see them. I mean, you've got

visitation, right? We respect that.

Right now, we need a little space.

Just work on this thing for a while.

Find their feet.

- Okay?

- Excuse me.

October the 26th.
