"who had been employed as the

Wright children's nanny since August. "

- Mildred Kemp?

- Holy sh*t. Listen to this.

"According to sources

close to the family,

"Kemp had became romantically

obsessed with Dr. Wright

"since his wife's death

in a car accident last February.

"Despite police efforts,

Kemp remains at large. "

Wait, what...

Look. Look what she's wearing.

The pearls.

Rachel said they were a gift

from an old patient.

She put them around my neck.

Like... Like she was proud of them.

Yeah, well, lucky for us,

now we have proof.

Yeah, if we can get our hands on them.

Don't worry about that.

This ends tonight.

Sh*t.

Hey, look.

- Alex, where are you going?

- Just go downstairs and get her keys.

- What are you gonna do?

- Just get her keys.

What are you looking for, Anna?

Is it these? Are you looking for these?

You should take them.

Please. They mean nothing to me.

We know, Rachel.

We know everything.

You caught me.

Here.

Alex!

Anna.

I don't want to hurt you.

This isn't how I wanted it.

You can make this easy.

- Anna.

- Alex.

- What happened?

- She drugged me. She drugged me.

Anna? Open the door.

Anna, listen to me.

- You have to get that necklace.

- I did. I got it.

Anna! Open this goddamn door!

You gotta go to Emery, okay?

- No. No.

- Yes. He'll believe you.

- Anna!

- I can't leave you here.

Pinkie pact.

Anna!

- Okay.

- Okay.

I love you.

I'll come back for you, okay? I promise.

Anna!

So, you're alleging that

Miss Summers is actually a woman

- named Mildred Kemp?

- Yes.

And she was the one responsible

for the fire?

That's right. It wasn't an accident.

She murdered our mother,

and now she's after us.

- Listen, I know how this sounds, but...

- No. Mildred Kemp. I remember her.

Out west in Woolridge County,

years ago, wife died,

man hired some nanny

who killed all the children.

That's right, but they never caught her.

Okay, listen, Mrs. Wright

had a pearl necklace, three strands.

There are pictures of it

on the Internet if you wanna see.

And?

Rachel is Mildred Kemp.

Okay? She's trying to kill us

and marry our father,

just like she did to them.

Listen, I want you to sit tight.

Jerry is right outside that door.

I'm gonna pull up Miss Summers

on the system.

No, there's no time for that.

You have to go to my house.

Alex is still there, and I'm afraid

something's gonna happen to her.

Nothing's gonna happen

to anybody, Anna. You wait here.

Mom?

Don't be afraid. I'm a nurse.

No! No! Don't believe her! No! No!

Please! Don't believe her!

No! She's lying!

Don't believe her, please!

No! No! Don't believe her! No! She...

There we go. Thank you.

I remember her.

It was out west in Woolridge County,

years ago, wife died,

man hired some nanny

who killed all the children.

Rachel is Mildred Kemp.

"Police have issued a warrant

for the arrest of Mildred Kemp, age 19,

"who had been employed as the

Wright children's nanny since August. "

"Forensics reveal the children

were heavily sedated

"before being stabbed repeatedly.

"Despite police efforts,

Kemp remains at large. "

You're gonna sleep now.

You know, Anna, I'm never

gonna have children of my own.

I can't.

Did I ever tell you that?

It's never stopped me from imagining

what it'd be like to have a daughter.

But now you've taken that

away from me.

Careful.

You don't want to hurt yourself.

Anna?

We tried everything, Anna.

This was the only way.

What did you do?

I had to, Anna. Didn't I?

Didn't I have to?

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm here. I'm always here.

Look at me. Look at me.

Be brave, okay? Okay.

Oh, my God. Are you all right?

It's Rachel, Dad. Rachel started the fire.

- What are you talking about?

- She killed Mom.

Dad, I know you never listen to me,

but you have to believe us!

She waited until you were out of town,

and she drugged me,

and she drugged Alex.

- What?

- She was gonna kill us.

Alex had to do it, Dad. She saved us.

- Alex?

- Alex, tell him.

Anna, what are you saying?

He can't see it, Anna. He never will.

Anna, you know what happened

to your sister.

- Tell him, Alex.

- Don't believe him.

- She died.

- No, don't believe him.

In the fire.

- It was a year ago.

- No! He's lying!

Alex is dead!

What have you done?

Alex?

Anna?

Anna, what do you mean

the fire wasn't an accident?

What happened that night?

Tell me what happened that night!

Get away from me. Get away from me.

Get away from me!

Hello? Dad?

The guys, they want to

come back to our house.

It's not our house anymore.

What are you doing?

They can burn in hell.

Anna. Anna!

Anna, what's wrong?

- Alex?

- Coming, Mom.

Alex!

I mean, how could you

not send my letters?

Those were my letters, Dad.

What? Were you too afraid I'd tell

her about your new little girlfriend?

Was that it?

Talk about all the dirty little secrets?

Anna?

Listen, I'm going into town.

You wanna come?

I followed you home that night, Anna.

I saw everything.

Don't let go. Anna, hold me.

You know, Anna, I'm never

gonna have children of my own.

I can't.

It's never stopped me from imagining

what it'd be like to have a daughter.

But now you've taken that

away from me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ivers.

I noticed the name

on Miss Summer's passport

doesn't match the name

on her driver's license.

She changed her name three years ago.

Had a boyfriend used to beat her up.

Her real name is Rachel Worshinsky.

Your daughter got it

in her mind somehow

that your fiance

was a woman named Mildred Kemp.

Why would she make all this up?

Hello, Anna.

Are you okay?

I did exactly what you asked.

Did what, Anna?

I finished what I started.
