Short filmTranscript
00:00:08We're reporting shocking news from Dover Plains, New York tonight of a series of crimes that have left a family
00:00:13together.
00:00:13This tragedy unfolded following reports of a North Carolina arrest on charges of incest and adultery.
00:00:18What they are looking at is by all appearances a triple murder and suicide.
00:00:21And there are stunning allegations that a father and his own daughter.
00:00:24In retrospect, I see how I was manipulated, how we all were.
00:00:27I've asked myself if there was something more I could have done to protect my family.
00:00:31To protect myself.
00:00:34Why would he do it?
00:00:35All I can say is that there is real evil in the world.
00:00:41I'm just gonna close the drapes, detective.
00:00:44Steven would kill me if he knew I was meeting with you.
00:00:47Alyssa, were you always afraid of Steven?
00:00:57Steven loved bragging about shooting up his room with a .45 and covering the bullet holes with posters.
00:01:05And you didn't see that as a red flag?
00:01:08No, I just thought it was cool.
00:01:11It was badass.
00:01:13How did you two get together?
00:01:16We met in a chat room.
00:01:17I was 15, he was 21.
00:01:21I don't know, he just right from the start had my number.
00:01:25He love-bombed me from 2,000 miles away.
00:01:28Pretty soon we were just talking on the phone for hours.
00:01:32Do you, uh, do you do puzzles?
00:01:35Yeah, I've done jigsaw puzzles.
00:01:38You know, when you're about to finish a puzzle and there's just that, that one missing piece.
00:01:44And, you know, you just kill yourself trying to find it.
00:01:49And then, out of nowhere, it pops up and...
00:01:55It's perfect?
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:5837 year old me knows he was just pouring honey in my ear.
00:02:01That's how I feel now that I've met you.
00:02:06I'll call you back.
00:02:08Okay, yeah.
00:02:13I wish I could go back and tell myself not to stop caring about everything except Steven.
00:02:17To not fall for his act, to not let my grades go to hell.
00:02:20To listen to my parents.
00:02:22Everything they were saying was right.
00:02:24Even when they forbid me from ever talking to him again.
00:02:32Well, you know, Steven didn't like that.
00:02:35He didn't take that so well.
00:02:49Nothing could stop him from coming for me.
00:02:52And the crazy thing is, I wanted him to.
00:02:55Some girls are just moths to a flame.
00:02:58I guess I was just one of those girls.
00:03:11You're my baby.
00:03:12Okay, let's go.
00:03:17How did your parents react after you left?
00:03:20The second my beautiful, perfect daughter Denise was born.
00:03:24My mom and dad came around.
00:03:28And they were trying to help, you know.
00:03:31But Steven would say that they were trying to take the baby from us.
00:03:35My baby was not even six months before.
00:03:40He moves us 2,000 miles away.
00:03:43And that's when his true colors came out.
00:03:46You have to take it back!
00:03:47No way it's too late!
00:03:48You've had it for two hours!
00:03:50You'll take it back to tell her it's broken!
00:03:50Oh, so you want me to lie?
00:03:52What kind of example is that setting for my little girl?
00:03:54Steven, we need food for the baby!
00:03:56Oh!
00:03:56Yeah, and all that organic crap you buy, no wonder we're broke!
00:03:58You know, for once, once!
00:04:00Maybe you could get a job you don't like loose right away!
00:04:03I told you!
00:04:03I will not lick boots!
00:04:08What the hell, that is not supposed to happen!
00:04:12Not that she ever shut up!
00:04:16Stop itching her!
00:04:17She has to learn!
00:04:18You caught on her!
00:04:19You promised me never again, you swore!
00:04:23What are you doing?
00:04:24Get in some peace and quiet!
00:04:26Please Steven, don't put her in the cooler!
00:04:29Please, I promise I'll keep her quiet!
00:04:31You say that every single day!
00:04:32I swear I don't want her to die, please!
00:04:37Sometimes Steven would pinch her to get her to stop crying, but that would only make
00:04:41it worse, or he'd put her in the cooler so he wouldn't hear her scream.
00:04:45I was too young.
00:04:47I knew I couldn't protect her.
00:04:49She would be safer away from him.
00:04:56When I told him we had to put Denise up for adoption, he said yes.
00:05:03He would say anything not to lose me.
00:05:12They did have one request though.
00:05:14Her name.
00:05:15They'd like to give her a new name for her new life, if that's alright with you.
00:05:21That that'll be fine.
00:05:22They're her new parents now.
00:05:27I told my parents that Denise was going to a good family, and they had good jobs, and they
00:05:34had a nice house, and they would love her.
00:05:38They just couldn't understand why I wanted to give her up.
00:05:42I couldn't tell them what Steven had done.
00:05:46I didn't, didn't, didn't want to give her up.
00:05:57In the back of my mind, I'd always hoped to be reunited.
00:06:01That I'd see Denise again.
00:06:13Happy birthday to you.
00:06:16Happy birthday to you.
00:06:19Happy birthday dear Katie.
00:06:24Happy birthday to you.
00:06:27Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:06:29Oh wow.
00:06:35Thanks mom.
00:06:38Oh my god.
00:06:40Oh my god, it's like a thousand colors.
00:06:43I'm actually going to go crazy.
00:06:44That's the best kind of crazy to go.
00:06:46It's pancakes and lots of bacon as soon as you're dressed.
00:06:51Uh, mom, dad.
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:54I'm ready to do it now.
00:06:57It's time.
00:07:00To do what, honey?
00:07:07Uh, sweetheart.
00:07:09What? Why shouldn't I?
00:07:12You should if you want to.
00:07:14Your birth parents were good people.
00:07:16They knew what was right for you, but they were damaged.
00:07:23And I'm sure long since broken up.
00:07:26You don't know what kind of chaos you could be stepping into.
00:07:29Maybe just wait a while longer until you have a little more life under your feet.
00:07:34What?
00:07:36Baby, if you're sure now is the time.
00:07:39No, I'm not, but...
00:07:42I want to anyway.
00:07:45Right after pancakes.
00:07:46Okay.
00:07:47Good.
00:07:48Okay.
00:07:49I love you.
00:07:50I love you.
00:08:10Why does anyone stay in hell?
00:08:13I don't know.
00:08:14Where would I have gone?
00:08:16I had no money and the girls, they loved Steven.
00:08:18He was more of a playmate than a daddy.
00:08:21And with Caroline, having autism change is crazy tough for her.
00:08:24I didn't want to blow up her world.
00:08:27Staying with him became a habit.
00:08:28Something I got used to.
00:08:30Even when we were sleeping in separate bedrooms.
00:08:54Steven?
00:08:57Come.
00:08:58Surrender!
00:09:00The invaders from Zorgon have overcome your defenses!
00:09:03Surrender!
00:09:04We will never surrender!
00:09:06Oh, then Zorgon will finish this!
00:09:08The Zorgon!
00:09:09Always the Pied Piper.
00:09:11He knew how to turn it on for the whole world.
00:09:15You're killing Zorgon!
00:09:17The Earthlings are too strong!
00:09:19Can you please go make us breakfast?
00:09:22I need to talk to your dad.
00:09:25You heard your mom?
00:09:27Go rustle me up some waffles.
00:09:31Heavy on the syrup!
00:09:34The water's off.
00:09:36You swore you were gonna pay for it.
00:09:37Yeah, yeah.
00:09:38I thought we were in the...
00:09:39What do you call it?
00:09:40Grace period.
00:09:41You thought?
00:09:41Yeah.
00:09:43How can you let the girls live like this?
00:09:46Like what?
00:09:47Look, I know where the box is on the side of the house.
00:09:49I'll grab my wrench, have it on like that.
00:09:51No problem.
00:09:51And what if we get caught?
00:09:54Cops are gonna come in and arrest you?
00:09:56You know what?
00:09:56Just forget about it.
00:09:57You know, I'll go downtown and I'll talk to them
00:09:59and I'll work four overtime shifts
00:10:01and I'll get it paid by Friday.
00:10:03And get started next month's Friday.
00:10:05Great, yeah.
00:10:06What happened to your job at the shop?
00:10:09Total jerks.
00:10:10Wasting my time.
00:10:12Providing for your family is a waste of your time.
00:10:17Don't worry about it.
00:10:20Steven.
00:10:22Steven, I'm done.
00:10:25Good to know.
00:10:30Stop.
00:10:30Yeah, in a minute.
00:10:33Now, stop.
00:10:36Don't touch me like that.
00:10:39Well, you sure know how to stab a knife in the back of fun, don't you?
00:10:43You know what I can do?
00:10:44Hmm.
00:10:45I can pawn something to get out of this hole.
00:10:47Well, you know what?
00:10:47Something I should have done a long time ago.
00:10:51Oh.
00:10:52Don't you joke about that.
00:10:56You seriously want to keep going around this merry-go-round?
00:11:00Pretending that we're in any kind of marriage?
00:11:03That's the joke.
00:11:06You can't do that to me.
00:11:09I actually can.
00:11:11If I do it really fast before I chicken out, you can keep the house.
00:11:16I will get a house with the girls.
00:11:18You know you're a great mom. You do that to Caroline?
00:11:20You know the hell she goes through when things change.
00:11:23She's the reason that I've been here so long.
00:11:27She's the reason I'm here.
00:11:31I'll be at peace.
00:11:33Finally.
00:11:34Dad.
00:11:36I can't find the waffle mix.
00:11:39Dad.
00:11:42Go.
00:11:44Coming.
00:11:46I can't find the thing.
00:11:53You look in the cupboard.
00:11:55I don't know.
00:12:23Alyssa, you have to see something.
00:12:25What happened?
00:12:27Nothing. You just have to see it.
00:12:30You ready for your world to explode?
00:12:34What?
00:12:35She, uh, she tracked us down.
00:12:39She knows everything about us.
00:12:41She even wants to come and meet us after she graduates from high school in May.
00:12:45It's our baby girl.
00:12:46We get to see her again.
00:12:50What?
00:12:51Hey, what?
00:12:53What is your problem?
00:12:54Why aren't you excited about this?
00:12:58Have you forgotten why we gave her up?
00:13:01The things you did to that baby?
00:13:03Oh, for God's sake.
00:13:04You have no right to be happy about seeing her.
00:13:08You can't tell me how to feel.
00:13:09I'm her dad, and I did what I thought was best.
00:13:11I just wanted her to stop screaming.
00:13:14But did I ever, ever do that to Caroline or Jenna?
00:13:19No, I didn't.
00:13:21So I have every right, I think, to feel whatever I want to about our baby.
00:13:29She's not our baby.
00:13:32So what are you going to do?
00:13:33You're just going to tell her, no, you can't come meet us?
00:13:37I probably should.
00:13:40Alyssa, but will you?
00:13:45Could you actually do that?
00:13:49No.
00:13:50No, you couldn't.
00:13:52I couldn't.
00:13:54So we're agreed, and there is no problem.
00:14:01And we can't exactly break up now, right?
00:14:06What are you talking about?
00:14:07What kind of a welcome would that be?
00:14:10Hi, great to meet you, we're splitting up.
00:14:13You're just trying to stop me from leaving.
00:14:17I'm going to say, but what about Caroline and Jenna, huh?
00:14:21Uh, hi, girls.
00:14:23Guess what?
00:14:23You have a big sister we kind of forgot to ever tell you about.
00:14:26And oh, yeah, by the way, as of right now, you come from a broken home.
00:14:31You really want to drop all of that on your daughters in one big blam.
00:14:40Think of what that would do to them.
00:14:49I'm going to write her back.
00:14:51Thanks.
00:14:58Oh, my God.
00:15:06This looks like the address.
00:15:11They're here.
00:15:15You feeling okay?
00:15:17Mm-hmm.
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:18Can you call us anytime, okay?
00:15:21Every day.
00:15:22Okay.
00:15:29Do you want me to get that?
00:15:31I think I got it.
00:15:31Thanks.
00:15:32I'll get the door.
00:15:34Hi!
00:15:36Long drive?
00:15:37Yeah.
00:15:38Okay.
00:15:39Hey!
00:15:41Wow.
00:15:43Hi.
00:15:44Hi, I'm Kelly, and this is Anthony.
00:15:47Hey.
00:15:47Oh, it's good to meet you.
00:15:49Hey.
00:15:49Hi.
00:15:51This is Katie.
00:15:51Katie, this is...
00:15:54Uh, Alyssa, Stephen, and Jenna.
00:15:57Jenna, please say hi to Mr. and Mrs. Fusco.
00:15:59Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Fusco.
00:16:01Hi.
00:16:02Are you my sister?
00:16:05Yeah, I am.
00:16:08You're pretty.
00:16:09Oh, thank you.
00:16:11My other sister's inside.
00:16:13She's on the spectrum, so she's a little bit shy.
00:16:17A little shy?
00:16:17That's okay.
00:16:18I'm a little bit shy, too.
00:16:19So you think we'll get along?
00:16:23So nice to meet you, Katie.
00:16:29Okay, well, you all must be hungry after a long drive.
00:16:32We're having a barbecue.
00:16:34Backyard.
00:16:36Yeah, thanks.
00:16:37But we've got a long drive to get back, so...
00:16:40Oh.
00:16:41All right.
00:16:41Yeah, okay.
00:16:43All right, well, thank you so much for driving her down, and of course, I'll keep you in the loop.
00:16:49Great.
00:16:51Yeah, me too, obviously.
00:16:53I know.
00:16:54Okay, bye, Mom.
00:16:55Okay, bye.
00:16:55All right, ding, ding.
00:16:56I hear that lunch bell ringing.
00:16:58Bye, Dad.
00:16:59See you in two weeks.
00:17:00Bye.
00:17:01Bye.
00:17:02Have fun.
00:17:02Bye, Mom.
00:17:03See you.
00:17:03Love you.
00:17:03Diana, give me a hand, please.
00:17:05Yeah, there you go.
00:17:07When Katie first arrived, I had that horrible feeling you get when you know things are going
00:17:12to go very bad.
00:17:13You should have stopped it right there.
00:17:20Let's just go, okay?
00:17:23How about you go show her, okay?
00:17:25You've got to see your room.
00:17:27We made it pretty for you.
00:17:45It's wonderful.
00:17:49Why are you, like, crying?
00:17:51No, I'm not crying.
00:17:52I'm just, um, it'll be the first time I've ever slept in my own room.
00:17:56Yeah, in our trailer, I had to share with my sisters.
00:17:59Trailer?
00:18:00Yeah, it's really nice.
00:18:01It's bigger than a lot of homes.
00:18:04When did you move out?
00:18:07Uh, we didn't.
00:18:08We still live there.
00:18:11Jenna, why don't you go help her unpack, okay?
00:18:14You gonna help me?
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:16Come on.
00:18:19Don't you know about this?
00:18:21Talk over there.
00:18:25Do you remember what I remember?
00:18:27A two-bedroom house?
00:18:28It was better than our house.
00:18:30This whole idea that she'd be raised by a family who could give her a better life is low.
00:18:33Oh, crap.
00:18:35Will you please just be quiet?
00:18:36She's right next door.
00:18:37Can you put a lid on it for two weeks?
00:18:40Please, for her sake?
00:18:45Just...
00:18:46All right, Burger Express on the board!
00:18:49Choo-choo!
00:18:56I'm sorry.
00:19:04Wait, no, a little to the left.
00:19:05This way?
00:19:06Yeah, just do the light falls over here.
00:19:07Okay.
00:19:08It's perfect.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:09Yeah, just hold that.
00:19:10I'm sorry.
00:19:11I never...
00:19:11No, it's...
00:19:12It's perfect.
00:19:12Can I talk?
00:19:15Yeah, as long as you don't move.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:18Mmm.
00:19:21You know, I thought about you every day.
00:19:25Yeah, I prayed that you were happy.
00:19:29It was happy.
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:32An awesome life.
00:19:33I've, um...
00:19:35I mean, sometimes I wish I wasn't, like, buried in a small town, but, um...
00:19:40Yeah, my parents are good people.
00:19:43Like, the real deal, you know?
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:46I always, um...
00:19:48felt completely, uh...
00:19:52loved.
00:19:53Oh.
00:19:54That's beautiful.
00:20:00So, what do you think about living in a small town?
00:20:03Oh, no.
00:20:04I'm gone.
00:20:05I'm already gone.
00:20:06I hear a plan.
00:20:07Okay.
00:20:07Um, community college.
00:20:08Okay.
00:20:09And then transfer to SUNY to study art.
00:20:11That's awesome.
00:20:13Yeah.
00:20:14Yeah, without art, I...
00:20:15I don't even...
00:20:16I don't even know what life looks like.
00:20:19I wish Chris got that.
00:20:22Boyfriend?
00:20:24Um...
00:20:25Ish.
00:20:26Ah, let me guess.
00:20:28He wants you to have three kids before you're 20.
00:20:30Kind of.
00:20:31I don't know.
00:20:31I really like him.
00:20:32I do.
00:20:33I don't know.
00:20:35Listen, I'm probably the last person that should be giving advice.
00:20:39But, you know, don't let anybody come in between you and what you really want.
00:20:45What did you really want?
00:20:46And you're late?
00:20:51You?
00:20:54Beyond that, I don't even know.
00:20:58You know, it was just so buried into so much stuff, you know?
00:21:03I don't know.
00:21:04Oh, sorry.
00:21:05It's okay.
00:21:15I carried you, I breastfed you, and you were my baby.
00:21:32It feels so good to hug you.
00:21:42Oh, my God, like the look on his face.
00:21:45Did you see?
00:21:46I actually died.
00:21:48It was so funny.
00:21:52Hey, guys, does the whole class get to hear the joke?
00:21:57He had to be there.
00:21:58It was like, I had the best part of you.
00:22:02I know, you too.
00:22:03Let's do it again, okay?
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:05Hey, Katie.
00:22:06What are you doing?
00:22:06Would you please go put the groceries inside, please?
00:22:17What?
00:22:18Talk about not fair.
00:22:21What's not fair?
00:22:23You monopolizing Katie.
00:22:24I want to spend time with her, too.
00:22:26You can hang out with her tomorrow.
00:22:28I had today off.
00:22:29Is that okay?
00:22:30Since you have nothing else to do.
00:22:33Why are you even home right now?
00:22:35Idiot foreman headed in for me because he knew I could do his job blindfolded.
00:22:38It was only a matter of time before he found some lame-ass excuse to can me.
00:23:00Oh, wow.
00:23:03Hey, look at this one.
00:23:05It is...
00:23:07A genius.
00:23:09Out of my own blood.
00:23:11No, I don't know about genius.
00:23:13Yeah, I have a lot to learn.
00:23:16You think you're gonna get that at Podunk Community College?
00:23:18Well, yeah, it's just when I transfer.
00:23:20Psst.
00:23:21Same difference.
00:23:23Well, college is for losers wasting their parents' money while they figure out how to get their thumbs out of
00:23:26their houses.
00:23:28It's true.
00:23:28What?
00:23:29You're a mile ahead of that.
00:23:32So what, I just like...
00:23:33Like, I don't go to college at all?
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:38What else do I do?
00:23:39Uh, get out of Podunk and start being an artist right now.
00:23:44Richmond is the big city.
00:23:45Tons of art schools.
00:23:46You can take classes.
00:23:47You can live with us.
00:23:48For free.
00:23:49In your own room.
00:23:50And do all the art you want.
00:23:52All day long.
00:23:53So...
00:23:54You mean like I just don't go home next week?
00:23:59This is home.
00:24:06Sorry.
00:24:07What?
00:24:08What'd I say?
00:24:09I'm sorry.
00:24:11Hey.
00:24:14Why did you give me up?
00:24:18I had nothing to do with that.
00:24:24Oh, it is all this crap your mom made up.
00:24:30She'd say, oh Steven, you know, she's gonna be raised by a rich family with a big house.
00:24:35She'll have all these opportunities.
00:24:36She'll travel the world.
00:24:40Such a...
00:24:41Idiot.
00:24:42No, no, you're not an idiot.
00:24:43Like, I...
00:24:43I had a great childhood.
00:24:44Yeah, but you could've had that with your real parents.
00:24:47Plus your own room.
00:24:48And two baby sisters to worship you.
00:24:50But you didn't.
00:24:52And you know why?
00:24:54All because your quote unquote mom
00:24:56wasn't ready to give up partying and hanging out with her friends.
00:25:03That's why.
00:25:09Hey.
00:25:10Hey.
00:25:11Got something right there now.
00:25:13It's okay.
00:25:18I'm okay.
00:25:19You sure?
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:22No, it's...
00:25:24I'm happy.
00:25:26Me too.
00:25:27Yes.
00:25:30Are you kidding me?
00:25:32Are you kidding me?
00:25:33Here we go.
00:25:35Oh my God.
00:25:36Oh my God.
00:25:36Okay, rapid fire.
00:25:37One.
00:25:37Two.
00:25:39Three.
00:25:39Open it up!
00:25:41You guys were getting on like gangbusters.
00:25:44Yeah, you know it.
00:25:46Uh, hi Katie.
00:25:47Hey.
00:25:48What are you guys doing for dinner?
00:25:50Um, we were gonna go out.
00:25:52Yeah, yeah.
00:25:53Finish the day off with a little father-daughter burger night.
00:25:56Cool.
00:25:57Sounds fun.
00:25:59All right.
00:26:00See you later then.
00:26:01Thanks.
00:26:01Yeah, thanks.
00:26:02Okay, ready?
00:26:03Oh yeah, I am ready.
00:26:04The question is, are you?
00:26:05This is my moment.
00:26:06My...
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Let's go.
00:26:09Thank you so much.
00:26:13Oops, sorry.
00:26:14What?
00:26:20A strawberry margarita with a cute little umbrella.
00:26:24What's that drinking age here?
00:26:2521, why?
00:26:27And it's illegal.
00:26:30So?
00:26:30No one's gonna card you.
00:26:33My parents hate when I drink alcohol, even like half a beer.
00:26:37Like...
00:26:37Kelly and Anthony Fusco.
00:26:39Sworn enemies of fun and excitement.
00:26:42Who are they, or anybody else on the planet, to tell a tough, incredibly talented, amazing,
00:26:49and totally awesome young woman what she can and can't do?
00:26:54Right?
00:26:55Who are they?
00:26:56Right?
00:26:56Yeah!
00:26:57Yeah!
00:26:57I mean, sure.
00:26:59Legally, it's a crime.
00:27:01Riddle me this, Batman.
00:27:03Where's the harm?
00:27:26I'm gonna do it, no more.
00:27:28Quiet.
00:27:29Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:27:32Doing good.
00:27:33Just get her all out.
00:27:34Get it all out.
00:27:36Oh my God.
00:27:38What did you feed her?
00:27:39Oh, no, I believe it's more a matter of what she had to drink.
00:27:43You got your underage daughter drunk?
00:27:46What is wrong with you?
00:27:47Are you a monster?
00:27:48A person's first big drunken puke is an important right of passage.
00:27:52What do you mean?
00:27:53Just be glad she's going through it with a responsible adult who cares for it and not some horny teenage
00:27:59boy.
00:27:59What?
00:27:59You sound crazy and disgusting.
00:28:02I'm sorry.
00:28:03I'm sorry.
00:28:04I should have stopped it.
00:28:05Just...
00:28:06Baby, this is not your fault, okay?
00:28:08What happened?
00:28:09Oh, this kid's sick?
00:28:10It's normal.
00:28:11She just ate something bad.
00:28:13It doesn't look normal to me.
00:28:16Shh.
00:28:17Hey.
00:28:18Are you ready?
00:28:19You want to sleep it off?
00:28:20Want to go to bed?
00:28:22Yeah.
00:28:22Okay.
00:28:23We'll get you to bed, honey.
00:28:24Okay.
00:28:24Hold on.
00:28:25No, no, no.
00:28:27Get out.
00:28:29Just get out.
00:28:36I got you.
00:28:37I got you.
00:28:40I got you.
00:28:41I got you.
00:29:28Good morning.
00:29:31You sleeping in a room?
00:29:33What planet is that normal on?
00:29:36You know, I don't know what it is about your voice,
00:29:38but even your whispering just makes me want to vomit.
00:29:42Shh.
00:29:43You should be in jail where you did last night.
00:29:46What?
00:29:46What do you mean, what?
00:29:48Oh, what's wrong with you?
00:29:50Okay, let me see.
00:29:51I keep losing track.
00:29:52Which excuse is this to divorce me?
00:29:56Number 687?
00:29:57Oh, no, you know what?
00:29:58I forgot.
00:29:59You don't need any excuse.
00:30:02No, no, no.
00:30:03So long as it makes you feel all good and righteous about bailing on your family again.
00:30:10You know that's a lie.
00:30:11Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:30:13I keep forgetting.
00:30:14Yeah.
00:30:15Katie's been here all along.
00:30:17Her name's still Denise.
00:30:18And us losing her for all these years was just an ugly screaming nightmare.
00:30:22You make it so easy for me to just say anything to you.
00:30:26Oh, that's good.
00:30:26Now we're getting somewhere.
00:30:28Go on.
00:30:29You wish I was dead.
00:30:31Oh, my God, Katie.
00:30:33I'm so sorry.
00:30:34I'm here to be.
00:30:35No way.
00:30:35I'm sorry.
00:30:36Please, could you open up?
00:30:37I don't want to talk to you.
00:30:38No, there's nothing to talk about.
00:30:40It's fine.
00:30:40It's not a big deal.
00:30:41What's not a big deal?
00:30:42You're walking out on Steven and everyone else.
00:30:44This is fine, Melissa.
00:30:46It's just what you do.
00:30:46No, I don't think that's fine.
00:30:49Please.
00:30:50Go away.
00:30:52Please, could I just talk to you?
00:30:53No, I actually don't care.
00:30:55I actually don't care.
00:30:56Please go away.
00:31:13There's something deeply and seriously wrong with you.
00:31:18You telling her God knows what about our past,
00:31:23that's just going to hurt her.
00:31:25She has a right to know her own history.
00:31:27If it's the truth, try this, keeping it together.
00:31:34For Katie's sake, for our girls.
00:31:39And?
00:31:41I can't even breathe in the same room as you.
00:31:48Stay.
00:31:49I'll take the girls.
00:31:52I'll get a new place.
00:31:57And what about Katie?
00:32:00Katie?
00:32:02What she does is her call.
00:32:08Fine.
00:32:11Smash us all to pieces.
00:32:13Knock yourself out.
00:32:34Do you really hate Dad?
00:32:37Do you really hate Dad?
00:32:37Of course not.
00:32:39He gave me two beautiful babies.
00:32:41I don't hate Dad.
00:32:43But you said you did.
00:32:46People say all kinds of things when they're upset.
00:32:48Things they don't mean.
00:32:50Then why do we have to move to a different house?
00:32:54Then why are you guys breaking up?
00:32:57We were kids, you know?
00:33:00Now we're adults.
00:33:01We go two different directions.
00:33:04When can we see Daddy?
00:33:06Honey, anytime you want.
00:33:08Okay?
00:33:11Mom?
00:33:13Yeah?
00:33:15Did you ever want to give me and Jenna away like you gave Katie away?
00:33:19Oh my God, no, baby.
00:33:22No, no, no, no.
00:33:23Not in a million years.
00:33:25Come here.
00:33:27No.
00:33:29No.
00:33:31No.
00:33:32No.
00:33:34No.
00:33:34No.
00:33:35No.
00:33:36No.
00:33:38No.
00:33:46Hey.
00:33:55You know Steven and I breaking up has nothing to do with you, right?
00:33:59It's been a long time coming.
00:34:02Okay.
00:34:04It's not your fault.
00:34:06Okay?
00:34:09I want you to come with me and the girls.
00:34:11No, you don't.
00:34:13I do.
00:34:17You don't really know Steven.
00:34:20He isn't...
00:34:24I just...
00:34:25You don't really know him and he's just...
00:34:28Is what?
00:34:30He isn't responsible.
00:34:34I'm 18.
00:34:34I don't need someone to be responsible for me.
00:34:37Yeah, I thought the same thing, too.
00:34:39You know, whatever you say about him is just your side of the story, right?
00:34:45I don't come with you...
00:34:49Do I still get to see Jenna and Caroline?
00:34:51Of course.
00:34:53Then I'll stay.
00:34:55You know, I like it here.
00:34:56I like my room.
00:34:59I'll be fine.
00:35:02I'm going to go help the girls back.
00:35:13It's going to be so great, you guys.
00:35:15You're going to be in a new neighborhood and you'll meet new friends and there's probably
00:35:20going to be new types of frogs in the yard and maybe a new place to get ice cream.
00:35:23That's exciting.
00:35:25You'll get to paint your room a new color.
00:35:27Is that exciting?
00:35:29No.
00:35:30No?
00:35:31Okay, well, what about you, Jay?
00:35:32What color are you going to paint your new room?
00:35:34Um, peanut butter.
00:35:35Peanut butter?
00:35:37Okay, um, right, right, right.
00:35:38So we going crunchy or creamy?
00:35:41Crunchy.
00:35:41Crunchy.
00:35:42Good, good, good.
00:35:43Love you, baby.
00:35:43Mwah.
00:35:45Sorry.
00:35:48Oh.
00:35:51Oh, goodbye, my darling angel.
00:35:53I'll see you real soon, okay?
00:35:55Come over whenever you want.
00:35:57Day, middle of the night.
00:36:01You're home too, okay?
00:36:05Okay.
00:36:06Come on, baby girl.
00:36:07Let's go.
00:36:10Hey, Caroline.
00:36:12You got a hug for your dad?
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:16Thanks.
00:36:19You're good.
00:36:23I didn't fight hard enough for her.
00:36:25It's like I left a baby deer in a lion's den to fend for itself.
00:36:43Love you.
00:36:50Bye!
00:36:51Bye!
00:37:19Just like that.
00:37:21You're up.
00:37:23Right?
00:37:24Okay.
00:37:25Here, here, here.
00:37:26Hold it with both hands.
00:37:27Yeah.
00:37:27Just like that.
00:37:28Good.
00:37:29Now, line up the notch with the can.
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:34Take a deep breath.
00:37:37And pull the trigger.
00:37:40Yes!
00:37:41Woo!
00:37:41No!
00:37:42No!
00:37:43No!
00:37:45No!
00:37:52No!
00:38:14That was my freedom I was holding in my hands.
00:38:17I couldn't sign those divorce papers fast enough.
00:38:21This is great.
00:38:22Yeah.
00:38:22Now your shoulder's a little more to face me.
00:38:25Thanks.
00:38:25Like that.
00:38:26Yeah.
00:38:27Split the dip.
00:38:27Hold that.
00:38:28Okay.
00:38:29Don't live.
00:38:31Just let me take a peek.
00:38:32Let me take a peek.
00:38:34You did that already.
00:38:35That is great.
00:38:37You never got that from me.
00:38:39I'm lucky if I can figure out how to draw a stick figure for a game of hangman.
00:38:43You know?
00:38:46Well, um, what about Alyssa?
00:38:49Yeah.
00:38:49Yeah, she's more the artistic type.
00:38:52I never saw her pick up a brush, so.
00:38:54Hmm.
00:38:55Hey, wait.
00:38:56Why don't, why don't we do this more like the real thing?
00:38:59How about if I take off my shirt?
00:39:03Yeah?
00:39:03Yeah.
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:10How's that?
00:39:22I'd been with the same guy since I was 15.
00:39:25And now, wow.
00:39:26I'm free.
00:39:27Totally free.
00:39:28The whole world out there.
00:39:30But it was scary too.
00:39:31Cause I didn't know anything about being free.
00:39:57Sometimes when I look at you, I feel like, I don't know, like I'm looking in a mirror.
00:40:03Hmm.
00:40:06Look at this.
00:40:10Oh yeah, right here where the thumbs.

00:57:44i wish it was happening to someone else
00:57:46katie and stephen have absolutely committed a crime for which they can be arrested
00:57:51both of them
00:57:52yes

01:13:51How's her boy?
01:13:52I don't know.
01:13:53I don't know.

01:13:59Katie, I love that you called me.
01:14:02You know what?
01:14:02Screw them.

01:14:11It was okay, Stephen.
01:14:13Oh, hey, when can I come see you?
01:14:14Stephen, will you please listen to me?
01:14:16I'm listening.
01:14:16What?
01:14:17I don't think you should come see me.
01:14:21I am sneaky.
01:14:22They'll never know.
01:14:23No, it's not that.
01:14:24I just, I think that...
01:14:25You think?
01:14:25I think that maybe they're right.
01:14:27I think they...
01:14:28I don't...
01:14:28I don't think we should see each other anymore.
01:14:31Katie, you listen to me.
01:14:33That is your parents talking.
01:14:34And they forced you to do this.
01:14:36They have hated me ever since they took you away from me when you were a baby.
01:14:39It's not my parents.
01:14:40Then who is it, hmm?
01:14:42Did Alyssa get to you?
01:14:43Have you talked to her?
01:14:44No.
01:14:45Then who?
01:14:48Katie, do you love me?
01:14:49Yes, yes, I love you.
01:14:51But I just, I...
01:14:51I just, I need to figure out...
01:14:53Figure out what?
01:14:54If you love me, then what is there to figure out?
01:14:56I have a lot.
01:14:57I have a lot to figure out.
01:14:58I'm sorry.
01:14:59I'm sorry.

01:22:15Oh, God.
01:22:19Oh, God.
01:22:38It's a little wet, I'm just saying, it's just, I'm just saying, and I like it.
01:22:48It's Detective St. James.
01:22:50Hello?
01:22:52Mm-hmm.
01:22:54Oh.
01:22:57Oh, my God, no.
01:23:03Oh, my God, no, please don't tell me, no.
01:23:08Just...
01:23:09The kitty's dead.
01:23:14The kitty's dead.
01:23:16The kitty's dead.
01:23:33Oh, my God.
01:23:42Oh...
01:23:51I can't tell them.
01:23:53I don't know.
01:24:02Hey, babies.
01:24:04I couldn't see you.
01:24:05Oh, wait downstairs.
01:24:17There's something that I have to tell you that's really scary.
01:24:21And that you may not understand.
01:24:25Your dad.
01:24:27He did something really bad.
01:24:30Something that he can never undo.
01:24:34And we won't see daddy.
01:24:37Or Katie again.
01:24:40What about Bennett?
01:24:46He's in heaven with Katie.
01:24:51I'm so sorry.
01:24:53I'm so sorry.
01:24:54Come here.
01:25:00I'm sorry, baby.
01:25:08It's starting to rain.
01:25:10Yeah.
01:25:13Mom?
01:25:14Yeah?
01:25:16Do you remember the time where dad made us all hamburgers?
01:25:20And he was really silly.
01:25:23And we laughed a lot.
01:25:28No, honey, I don't remember that.
01:25:31But I'm happy you do.
01:25:33And I hope you never forget that.
01:25:37Is there a heaven?
01:25:41I hope so.
01:25:45If there is, is dad there?
01:25:51I don't think so, honey.
01:25:55What about Katie?
01:25:57Is, is, is Katie there?
01:26:00A hundred percent Katie's there.
01:26:04And you know where else she'll always be.
01:26:07Where?
01:26:08In here.
01:26:09In here.
01:26:12Forever.
01:26:14Come here.
01:26:17Through everything, Eric stayed by my side.
01:26:20After all that the girls and I went through.
01:26:22It was hard to believe that we could be so happy.
01:26:25But we are.
01:26:26This is our new life.
01:26:29How many people go?
01:26:37I don't know who they were.
01:26:41Stop us.
01:26:46We're having pride.
01:26:47We're hardworking.
01:26:50You hung out together.
01:26:53We and Helen Atkins,
01:26:54We're going to accept 300.
01:26:55We're hanging out withرض wire.
