You have a young
child, don't you?
A little boy?
Yes, but...
This is all too hard for
me to accept, I can't--
Who takes care of it?
I understand
how you feel, but--
No, you don't.
I hope you never do.
I hope you never
have to wake up
and find out your worst
nightmare is real.
Do you have a
picture of Ms. Julian?
No.
What does she look like?
She's about 27.
My height, thin, grey eyes,
fair skin, attractive.
She has an accent.
What kind of accent?
I'm not sure.
European, I think,
maybe English.
What color hair?
Dark brown,
almost red.
The girl who works for
us has light-colored hair.
She's been--
She has something
on her stomach.
What?
Like a mark or something.
Here, on her stomach.
You know her,
don't you?
It's not possible.
Is it Diana?
It can't be.
Will you let me see her?
She could've changed
her appearance, but...
I'll have to talk to her first.
No, no, it's not Camilla.
Camilla?
Why won't you let me see her?
I will, but you're
gonna have to--
Do you know where Lia is?
No, Scott.
I don't.
What's this?
Diana gave it to me.
What do you want me to do?
I want you to arrange
for me to see her,
without her knowing it.
If it is her, she'll panic,
and she's dangerous.
I don't believe it's Camilla.
Our baby's fine.
She takes wonderful care of him,
as though he were hers.
That's how we felt.
How old is your son?
Four weeks.
That was Lia's age.
Last time I saw her.
Camilla?
Camilla?
Oh, sh*t.
Camilla?
Phil.
Listen to me.
I saw something tonight.
I can't believe what I just saw.
Camilla...
Phil.
Listen to me.
I saw something tonight.
I can't believe what I just saw.
Camilla...
Don't let that woman
back in your house!
Ned?
Ned!
You know you left
your door wide open?
Ned?
Ned!
It's time, Jake.
Don't be afraid.
Where the hell have you been?
Mr. Sterling.
Where have you been?
We spent the
morning at the zoo,
and then we had
to wait for a bus.
Did Dr. Klein see him?
No, I didn't think
it was necessary.
I told you I wanted
Dr. Klein to see him!
He's perfectly fine.
He had a lovely time,
actually.
Sure he had a lovely time,
babies always have
a lovely time, he has a
lovely time lyin' on the rug!
Will you please
stop shouting?
What's going on here?
I told Kate I didn't
think he needed a doctor.
That's right, she did.
What's the matter?
Phil, listen to me.
I saw something tonight.
I can't believe what I just saw.
Camilla...
What does that mean?
What's he talking about?
I don't know.
Listen to his voice.
He's scared to death.
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
I want you out of my house.
Phil!
I have to see to Jake.
What's going on?
Take your hands off my son!
Stop!
Don't touch him like that!
Just take him to bed.
You know who I saw
today, Camilla?
Molly Sheridan.
You know Molly
Sheridan, don't you?
No.
You took care of the
Sheridan children, didn't you?
You took care of Lia
Sheridan, didn't you?
No.
Phil, what is this?
She took the Sheridan baby--
How dare you!
I made some calls today.
Calls I should've
made a long time ago,
but thank God
I made 'em today!
The first was to
a Harold Freeman,
of Madison, Wisconsin.
How is Mr. Freeman?
I don't know how he is!
But he's not in
Madison, Wisconsin!
People at this number
never heard of Harold Freeman!
letter from Mrs. Freeman.
They moved.
To Oak Park, Michigan.
To be nearer Mrs.
Freeman's mother.
Oh, you've got the letter?
Yes, I may have!
What about Dr.
Miller in Athens, Ohio?
The number doesn't exist!
Well, Dr. Miller must have
changed his telephone system.
The operator said this
number never existed!
call, nobody's heard of you!
I talked to the employment
agency, Guardian Angel.
They said yes, they
have a Camilla Grandier
registered with them,
but no, she wasn't
recommended for this job!
Why are you doing this?
Let her do the talking!
What do you say, Camilla?
Or is it Diana?
Diana Julian?
It's true, I wasn't
recommended by the agency.
Who are you?
Name me one person who
can confirm who you are!
Besides Molly Sheridan!
a very dear, close
friend of mine.
Who?
She persuaded
me to come along,
she got my resume to you!
Give me her name!
Give me her number!
She's a very
good friend of mine,
she was very kind to me!
What was her name?
Arlene Russell.
That's a lie like
everything else you told us!
Hey, I want you to come
to Molly Sheridan's house.
I most certainly will not!
Oh, no,
of course you won't!
I'm not staying in this
house a minute longer.
Good, 'cause I
don't want you here!
Stop it!
Diana Julian,
or whatever the
hell your name is,
you're fired!
Get out of my house.
Get rid of all this stuff!
Something's wrong with him.
Phil, something's wrong.
How long has
he been like this?
About three hours.
He hasn't opened
his eyes at all.
Is his breathing normal?
- Oh yes, fine.
- Oh, thank God.
Has he eaten anything?
I think he last ate around
lunchtime today or something.
Why won't he wake up?
Several possibilities.
One would be meningitis.
What's that?
Inflammation of the
lining of the brain.
Which could be why he's
not responding to stimuli.
How long can
he stay like this?
Oh, not longer than
24 hours, but that's...
That's what?
But then what?
After 24 hours, what?
Have you started
him on the new formula?
I started
breastfeeding him again.
I see.
You didn't tell me.
You don't think
that that's what--
No, no.
Well...
Kate, but that's so remote.
I'm gonna check
his glucose level.
Just to rule out hypoglycemia.
Then we can start looking into
neurological possibilities.
Oh, God.
Please hear me.
Just make my baby better.
Please.
Please help me.
Jake?
He's okay.
God.
I'll find Dr. Klein.
Oh, thank you, God.
Camilla, what are
you doing here?
I couldn't leave
without little Jake.
He needs me.
And I need him.
Don't be afraid.
He's not going to--
He doesn't need you,
just stay away from him!
See?
He's not--
The doctor's coming, Camilla!
He'll have eternal
life through me.
Don't!
Isn't that beautiful?
Just leave him
alone, stop it!
Camilla, don't!
What are you doing,
don't move him? Phil!
You take your
hands off my baby.
Oh God,
hang on!
Take him.
Do you have him?
Yeah.
Oh!
Oh my God.
Get behind the fence!
Get behind the fence!
Let's go!
Let's go!
It's the baby,
they just want the baby!
I'll meet you at the
entrance to the woods!
Phil, Phil!
Oh, honey!
Phil!
Look out!
Damn you!
You able to get some sleep?
No, not much.
the only one with the couch.
It was fine.
How's the little guy?
He's better,
he had some breakfast.
I have a son.
Two years old.
Yeah?
Okay, let's start
at the beginning.
