Mr. and Mrs. Dargon.
- Detective.
- Detective.
Are you okay?
Do you remember
Mr. And Mrs. Dargon?
Glen and Marcy.
Are we doing first names?
We talked on the phone
from the hospital, right?
Yes, we called
as soon as we heard.
We tried to come
and see you, but...
but they wouldn't let us
until the test came back.
So, here you are.
Okay.
Hi.
Hi.
Well, charges have
been pressed,
and McKay will be held
without bail.
So far, her hospital records
are clean,
although she did refuse
to take a full examination.
That's private.
Of course.
As discussed,
she's to meet with
a court-appointed psychologist
once a week, more if needed.
Dr. Andrews... here's her card.
This should calm down.
We petitioned
for a protective order
on your behalf,
and that should be settled
by tomorrow.
Thank you.
I only wish we could
have met sooner.
Thank you.
Take care of yourself.
Can I hug you?
Um... sure.
You're real...
you're really here.
Welcome home.
Is it okay
if we stop hugging?
Yes, of course.
You're so big.
Would you like
something to drink?
I have lemonade.
And tea.
Water.
Coming right up.
Please, make yourself
comfortable.
Here, let me...
I'll take...
No.
Okay.
Is this you?
Yes.
And him?
Yes.
And this.
This is me, then.
Yes.
There you go.
You look so young.
I was.
I rode horses.
Ponies.
You had just started.
You were barely four.
But you kept asking,
and your friend Caroline
had had some lessons,
so of course you couldn't
let it go.
Do you remember Caroline?
No.
Your birthdays
were ten days apart,
so we always had
joint parties.
We had costume parties,
it being so close
to Halloween.
You were always a princess
for your birthday
and something else
for Halloween.
Isn't my birthday
March 15th?
No, it's October 21st.
You see...
Um...
Yeah, here's another one.
So you're about to, um,
blow out the candles,
and here are the pumpkins
and leaves on the ground.
Oh.
We made a cheese plate,
if you're hungry.
And there's a pie in the oven.
Do you still like pie?
Sure.
Please, sit,
and make yourself
comfortable,
and let us know if...
if we can get you anything.
Leanne.
Leanne is here.
Actually, my name is Leia.
- Huh?
- What?
My name is Leia.
You changed your name?
No.
We... we named you Leanne.
We've always
called you that.
I don't remember that.
I only know that
my name is Leia
and that I was named
after a princess.
Like from the movie?
What movie?
You don't know?
Know what?
Your name.
It's Leia.
Leia.
Yes?
No, I was just saying it.
Your name.
So tell us about yourself.
I'm tired.
Oh, would you like
to lay down?
Yes.
Oh, you can go right
up to your room.
We didn't have time
to change anything,
but we kept it
like this for you.
I hope it's okay.
Maybe it's nice, even.
For now.
Okay.
All right, I'm gonna
let you get settled in.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
I'd like to propose a toast.
To Leanne.
To Leia.
We're so happy
to have you home.
It's a miracle.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, are we being rude?
Are you saying Grace?
I'm doing a "Dear Universe. "
It's a kind of prayer.
"Dear Universe, thank you
"for the food I'm
going to be eating,
"the thoughts I'm
going to be thinking.
Thank you for this moment
we are making. "
And then you make wishes.
Wishes?
Yes.
"I wish for you
to keep me honest,
help me to know who I am,"
and anything else you want.
"Sincerely, Leia. "
And you can add a P.S.
if you feel necessary.
What church is that?
No church.
Church is for people who
can't believe in themselves.
The Universe is for when
you believe in everything.
Thank you.
You must be hungry.
Been quite a few days.
The police, the hospital...
Hospital food can't be that good.
And all the beeping.
Who can eat with
all that beeping?
I remember when I was
at the hospital
after I had had you.
And they brought me some food,
and I couldn't even recognize it.
It was like astronaut food,
I swear.
The only thing that I would eat
was the Jell-O...
I remember that.
Because the rest
of it was just so...
No, I remember that,
because I had a pack
of Rollo's in my pocket
that you went
absolutely nuts for.
- That's right, that's right.
- I mean, she went bananas.
Well, I was starving.
I'd never seen anybody...
I was starving, because...
Go through a half a pack
of Rollo's before like that.
Because after you give birth,
they should have a turkey dinner
waiting for you.
Hello?
Hi.
Yeah, she's right here.
It's Jill.
Hello?
Great.
Thank you.
Uh-huh.
I know.
I know, I was thinking
the same thing.
She would be so happy.
Would you like to talk to her?
Hold on.
Um, Leia, this is your Aunt Jill
on the phone.
Why don't you say hello?
So... so say hello.
Hello?
Okay.
Congratulations for you too.
Okay.
I think she's done talking.
Oh, okay.
I should go.
Hello... already?
Okay.
Jill?
Yeah, she's tired.
I'll see you tonight.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Of course.
Okay, so would you describe
your first week at home
as a positive experience?
Sure.
I notice you say that a lot.
"Sure. "
We just met.
Yes, but over
the last half hour,
"Would you like to sit?"
"Can I get you some tea?"
"Have you been sleeping
on a regular schedule?"
"Do you find yourself adapting
to your new surroundings?"
All these are things
you answered "sure" to.
Maybe you should ask
different questions.
Maybe you're right.
How would you describe
your first week at home?
As a positive experience.
Do I make you uncomfortable?
No.
Do I make you uncomfortable?
Of course not.
Okay.
"Sure" is a noncommittal
statement,
even in the affirmative.
If I say,
"Do you want some tea?"
and you say, "Sure,"
it tells me that you want tea
only because I asked it,
not because you want it.
I want you to feel free
to express definites,
concrete feelings.
This is a safe environment.
Okay.
I don't really want this tea.
Everything you say here
is confidential.
You keep writing things
in that folder.
I keep notes.
But you are looking
for things, right?
Against Ben.
Are you concerned about Ben?
Are you looking for things?
My only true concern
is how you are doing,
how you are feeling,
that you feel supported.
Okay.
If there's anything I can do
to make that clearer to you,
do not hesitate to tell me.
I am here for you.
Can you stop calling it "home?"
Like, my "transition back home?"
All right.
Does it not feel like home?
Would a place you don't remember
feel like home to you?
How does it feel?
Like a place I don't remember,
like a neighbor's house.
Did you spend much time
at neighbor's houses
when you were with Mr. McKay?
No.
I spent time at home.
Want some dessert?
You don't have to look at that.
It's just...
it's just there.
Can I have this?
No.
Or not right now, okay?
Congratulations, God bless.
I've been following on the
news and everything
from the very beginning.
