Brenda's father says... that you pushed her.
That's not true, we were just playing. I swear.
Kate And did you see what happened?
She slipped.
Kate... Kate. You can't get jealous of every woman that I talk to, right? It's been like ten years.
Kate What does that mean, "It's been ten years"? You say that like it, it, it actually means something. It's only been two years since you told me.
You know how sorry I am; I just feel like I've earned a little trust here. I gave you a second chance.
Kate That's not fair... that's not fair.
Let me get this straight: We can talk about my mistakes, but not yours?
Kate I was sick! You're an asshole who wanted to **** somebody else!
I'm afraid I may have made a mistake. There could be something wrong with Esther.
What? What do you mean? You told us that you'd never had any trouble with her.
I didn't. But trouble does have a way of finding her.
Kate What kind of trouble?
Two girls get into a fight, there she is. Someone gets caught stealing, there she is again.
So, does that mean-?
Kate John, just let her finish.
After you told me about the girl in the playground, I called her old school. While she was there, there was a boy who fell with a pair of scissors in his hand and accidentally stabbed himself through the jaw. And Esther was there again.
I don't understand. He accidentally stabbed himself.
But the most troubling thing is the Sullivan house fire. I checked into it further, it was arson. They have never found the person who did it.
What are you suggesting here? That she had anything to do with any of this? It's ridiculous.
That a child could commit such crimes. It just flies in the face of everything I believe.
Oh... well, yeah.
Kate We've had some behavioral problems, but...
Yeah, nothing like that. I mean, right?
Kate Yes, we have.
Really, hon, think about it.
I've tried to reach the Russian orphanage where she was raised. I think we need to know what we're dealing with.
Kate N-no, you know what?
Stop. Listen. [turns back to Sister Abigail.] We're dealing with a 9-year-old girl who's an orphan,---
Kate Y-yeah, that's it...
Kate We're taking her to Dr. Browning.
Kate Hello?
Is this Kate Coleman? [small pause] Hello?
Kate Yeah, this is she.
My name is Dr. Varava. I'm calling from the Saarne Institute. I've just seen the picture you e-mailed.
Kate And do you recognize her?
Where is she right now? Is she someplace where she can hear you?
Kate No, she's not with me. She's with my husband at home---
Call your husband right now, and tell him to get your family out of the house. Then call the police.
Kate He won't listen to me. Why?
Then tell him the little girl in the picture, is not really a little girl. She is a grown woman.
Kate What? What are you talking about? The picture I sent you is of our adopted daughter, and she's 9 years old.
No, she's not. She has a rare hormone disorder. It's called hypopituitarism, it causes proportional dwarfism. She only looks like a child. [checks on the records] According to our records, Leena Klammer was born in 1976. She's 33 years old.
Kate This can't be. This is a mistake.
I hope so, for your sake. Does she have the scars?
Kate Coleman What? I don't know. What scars?
Leena was one of our most violent patients. When she was here, she was kept in a straitjacket to stop her from hurting our staff. She was constantly fighting to get out. It cut into her skin and left her with scars around her wrists and neck. There is no way you could not have seen them.
Kate Why was she at your hospital?
She's dangerously ill, violent. She killed seven people that we know of.
Kate Oh, my God. How could she fool us?
She has been passing herself off as a little girl for most of her life. She tricked a family here in Estonia into adopting her. When she couldn't seduce the father, she killed him and his whole family.
Kate Then she burned the house down?
Yes. How did you know? She disappeared a year ago, and we lost track of her. If it's really Leena, you don't have much time.
[Kate uses the stairs and gets out of the hospital.]
Please... don't let me die, Mommy.
Kate I'm not your **** mommy! [kicks Esther in the face and sends her back into the pond to drown, her neck broken]
Kate Esther, what are you doing?
I always lock the door.
Kate Nope. We don't lock doors in this house.
