The Nanny Page #2

She made me!

She had signals!

Shut up.

Noa, is that true?

We don't need a nanny

anyway.

It's a waste.

Like, I'm literally saving this family money.

How could you do that,

Noa?

Do you have any idea

how badly I need help?

Huh?

- Noa, upstairs.

- Mom, a crasher?

- She probably has a butcher knife!

- Upstairs now. Let's go.

Come on.

You too, Michael.

But why? Up. Up.

She made me. Up, up, up.

Hi.

Leonor from Spenser.

I'm sorry?

Leonor Cottingwood from the

Spenser Domestic Agency.

I was sent in regards

to the nanny position.

Did you walk here?

Has it already been filled,

Ms. Montaner?

I'm sorry. I'm just...

I'm a little confused.

I... You weren't on my list.

Did you reply

to the ad or...

Ms. Montaner,

the Spenser Agency

is the most prestigious nanny

placement service in the world.

They've placed

the perfect nannies

with the right families

for centuries.

Should there be a situation

in which they can be of help,

you can be certain

they will hear of it.

Come on in.

So it's...

it's three nights a week.

The ideal is for our nannies to

live with their chosen families.

Oh.

It is the only way to truly

reach the little ones.

It really would be

ideal.

Okay.

I just wish I had time

to properly interview you.

But I have to

run off to work.

But maybe you could

leave your number?

Or I could start now

and save you the bother.

I really have to run that

kind of thing by the kids.

I have a feeling this may be

just what is needed by them,

and by you.

Okay.

Yeah. Let's...

We should...

Let's give it

a shot.

But you have to meet

the kids first.

I feel

that we already have.

Mom, can I talk to you

for a sec?

Um, I don't think

we should hire this...

We are just giving her

a tryout.

What is wrong

with that?

There's something... What?

She just gives me

a bad feeling. Okay?

Noa, I cannot handle double

shifts and Michael's stuff.

I just can't.

So just please

give her a chance.

Please. For me.

So, I should

just be a few hours.

And if there's any problem,

just call me.

There shall be no problems,

I assure you.Okay.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Are you not going to eat,

my dear?

No.

I'm good.

Something is not quite right.

Is it now?

Now... isn't that

much more comfortable?

I guess so.

Eat. It's good.

Eat.

It is good for you.

Um...

I... I-I just

need some water.

Of course. Allow me to...

No. I can get it.

Children,

now that you're in my care I think

it time we set some ground rules.

Firstly, could I ask you

both to be so good

as not to leave your seats

without first being excused?

Secondly, I shall ask you to kindly

not stay up past your bedtime.

And third?

And what, my dear,

makes you think there is a third?

I don't know.

Don't these things

usually come in threes?

When is our bedtime?

Whenever I say it is,

my dear.

What happens if we

stay up past bedtime?

Do you really want to find out?

Off to bed now.

I-I heard noises.

It is your imagination

playing tricks on you,

my dear.

You children

are far too full of fancy.

Need to keep your feet firmly

planted on the ground.

Off to bed now.

He locks his door at night.

You won't be able to...

It would seem your brother

is a remarkably light sleeper.

Cannot sleep either,

my dear?

Is it the thunder?

Or are there other sounds that

have been plaguing your ears?

Maybe.

We all hear things.

It's simply a question of

whether one chooses to listen.

Something out here,

perhaps?

Voices?

They're just in my head.

No.

They are quite real,

my dear.

Would you like it if I were

to tell you a bedtime story?

Once upon a time

there was another world.

It was very, very far away,

and yet right beside this one.

- It was a world of magic and wonder,

- Anna.

but also of war, villains, and horror.

Hi! How are you?

It was not unlike this one in

that way, and in other ways too.

In fact, they were those who found

themselves living in the wrong world

and didn't even know it.

Hi. Yeah, um, I was trying to

reach Officer Frank Gomez.

Frank, you got a call

for a disturbance over

at the Montaner place.

Request that you go over there immediately.

Yeah, okay. I copy that.

I got it!

Officer Frank, come in.

Come in, come in.

Is everything okay,

Noa? It's the new nanny.

She locked Michael in his room and she

was on top of the roof, climbing around.

Anna got a nanny?

I mean, I could've

just watched you guys.Listen.

She had some really

weird stuff in her bag.

I mean, like,

really strange.

You were going through

her things?

Come on. You'll see.

This is our new nanny,

Leonor.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Frank.

You'll have to excuse

this mess, Officer.

Just whipping up

a late-night snack.

This might not be

to your taste.

But perhaps I could warm you up

some leftovers from dinner?

Sure.

Don't eat it.

A hardworking officer

needs his strength.

Wow. It's really good.

You're up past your bedtime,

my dear.

Oh, man.

Left my lights on again. Now, don't tell

the sheriff. He hates it when I do that.

Honestly, though, that was the best

food I think I've ever had in my life.

Thank you.

Well,

you drive safely then.

All right.

Okay. Yeah.

Please, no!

We should get a drink.

Yeah, I wish.

Come on.

The new nanny's so great. Right?

It's not even late.

Come on. It is her first night.

No way.

I cannot do that. Yeah, you can.

Anna.

Maybe I can start to get

some of my life back, you know?

That's the spirit.

Yeah, maybe I'll, like,

start dating again.

Frank was kinda

sniffing around,

but, I don't know,

he's such a teddy bear.

Sometimes in a cute way.

Sometimes in, like,

a no-genitals way.

You must be giving out

pheromones already,

'cause that kinda-scary,

kinda-hot, intense guy

keeps checking you out.

Just signal

if he's weird.

Wait.

Hi. I'm David.

Good morning,

Ms. Montaner.

Good morning.

Hmm.

Of course, I cook all three meals every day,

without fail.

But should I ever

be detained,

there will always be a meal tailored

exactly to their individual needs.

What is that?

Some kind of kale

or something?

Only the best

for my dearies.

Nothing more nutritious.

Yeah.

Good luck

getting them to eat that.

Fear not, my dear.

I have my ways.

Well, it seems like you really

have it all figured out.

Pretty soon

you're not even gonna need me.

I find most children

just need a gentle push

to help them see the magic

of the great outdoors.

Hey. Wait. Noa!

That lady you left us with

is a monster.

Oh, is that so? Yeah.

Last night she lit candles and

locked Michael and me in our rooms.

- And she cooked some weird stew.

- Stop it.

You promised me that

you would give her a chance.

Because we need her.

Ineed her.

And so far

it looks like she is

the best thing that has

ever happened to us.

I'm not crazy.

I think she has wings.Noa. Stop.

So we're gonna stick it out

with her a little bit. Okay?

Fine.

Hey, wait.

Come.

It is time for school.
