04:50Une autre nuit n'est pas important.
05:20Une autre nuit n'est pas important.
05:53Jemma, c'est Dad.
05:54I'm here to take you home.
05:57Jemma, no one had ever said my name like that.
06:00And Dad was never a word I got to use.
06:03She's so thin, so dirty.
06:06The lines around his eyes were deep.
06:08There were dark circles under them, and his lips were cracked.
06:12He looked even older than Ray.
06:14He'd spent seven years looking for one person, and I had almost lied to him.
06:19I wasn't even sure I was Jemma.
06:23I just wanted a home where nobody hit me.
06:28Sir, I'm not sure I'm really hurt.
06:31What if you've got it wrong?
06:32No, no mistake.
06:35I knew the second I saw you.
06:38You're Jemma.
06:40You're my Jemma.
06:44Every breath smelled clean, warm.
06:47No one had ever held me like this.
06:51Not even a blanket had ever wrapped me this tight.
06:54It's okay now.
06:57Dad's here.
06:58No one will ever hurt you again.
07:00Call Mrs. Whitmore.
07:02We found her.
07:04Yes.
07:05We found her.
07:06She's alive.
07:07Mr. Whitmore, let's get her in the car.
07:08She's freezing.
07:11Jemma, are you hungry?
07:16Take us to Hudson Valley Children's Medical Center.
07:18Have some food sent over, too.
07:19What is she like?
07:22He's holding it back, keeping himself from getting mad in front of me.
07:26I knew it wasn't for me.
07:28It was for the people who hurt me.
07:30Ray never held back.
07:31He took all his anger out on me.
07:34I'll eat anything.
07:37Just be gentle, putting me in the car.
07:39I hurt my knee.
07:41The snow was still falling, but I wasn't cold anymore.
07:45We found her.
07:47Yeah, take us to Hudson Valley Children's Medical Center.
07:49A regular room?
07:52Are you out of your mind?
07:53Get a private pediatric suite ready.
07:55Full trauma workup.
07:56Treat the external injuries first, then run an expedited DNA test.
08:00I don't care what it takes.
08:01I want preliminary results in three hours.
08:06Don't be scared.
08:11What if he's a bad person?
08:13They said on TV some people trick kids.
08:17But bad people don't cry like that.
08:19Probably not.
08:21Sir...
08:21Call me dad.
08:26Sir is okay for now.
08:28Go ahead.
08:29How'd you get here so fast?
08:31I was about two hours away when you called.
08:35So...
08:35I was doing over a hundred.
08:37That fast?
08:39And you didn't crash?
08:44Not on the interstate.
08:45On back roads.
08:47And I was already driving when you called.
08:49Why were you already driving?
08:50For seven years, I've searched every day.
08:52City to city.
08:53Town to town.
08:54Countless leads.
08:56Fakes.
08:56Scams.
08:57Wrong kids.
08:58I chased everyone myself.
09:00When you called, I was nearby.
09:01Following another one.
09:03That lead was fake too?
09:04Every last one.
09:07Until you.
09:08What if I'm lying?
09:10What if the DNA test doesn't match?
09:13What if I really am Ray's daughter?
09:15He drove her a hundred to get here.
09:17And what if I'm not his?
09:20Don't be scared.
09:21No matter what the test says.
09:23You're staying with me tonight.
09:26Come with me.
09:28It's still snowing.
09:29And that place you told me about?
09:31That's not a home.
09:39Mr. Whitmore, this way.
09:41Megan, get warm water ready.
09:43She's been hyperthermic too long.
09:44No hot water yet.
09:46Imaging is ready.
09:47We can take her in any time.
09:50I'll carry her myself.
09:56Don't go to sleep yet.
09:58The doctor needs to examine you.
10:01Gemma, let me take a look, okay?
10:03Okay.
10:14Keep going.
10:19Mr. Ethan Whitmore.
10:20Gemma, tell dad.
10:22No, tell me.
10:23Who did this to you?
10:24My mom and dad.
10:25They're not your mom and dad.
10:26Then, the two people who threw me away?
10:30Okay.
10:31I know now.
10:35I want everything on those two.
10:37Tonight.
10:46She's severely malnourished.
10:48Her height and weight are both well below the normal range for her age.
10:51She'll need long-term nutritional support and regular monitoring of her growth.
10:56Also, there are signs of healed old bone fractures on her back.
10:59At least two sites.
11:00They never got proper treatment.
11:03Just healed up on their own.
11:05That's enough for tonight.
11:07Give her something light and easy to digest.
11:09Let her take a warm bath and make sure she gets some rest.
11:11We can deal with the rest of the tests and everything else tomorrow.
11:15How long till the DNA test results are back?
11:17The paternity test has been fast-tracked.
11:18About three hours.
11:20Okay.
11:25You hungry?
11:30Send up plain oatmeal.
11:31Nothing added.
11:32Her stomach's still weak.
11:34And soft scrambled eggs.
11:36Warm, not hot.
11:39When you were with the Carters, did you go to school?
11:42Yeah.
11:43Second grade.
11:44How were your grades?
11:45Pretty good.
11:47What's pretty good?
11:48Top five.
11:49In your class?
11:51In the whole grade.
11:52Hmm.
11:53What was the school like?
11:55Not great.
11:56Just two old buildings.
11:58And the playground was all dirt.
12:00When it rained, my pants got muddy.
12:03But my teacher was nice.
12:04Sometimes she'd sneak me a pack of crackers.
12:08Were you hungry at school too?
12:11Not exactly.
12:13Brendan wouldn't give me lunch money.
12:15And she wouldn't sign me up for free school lunch.
12:19Sometimes not even that.
12:27Please don't be mad.
12:34I'm not mad.
12:37You are.
12:38The vein here is throbbing.
12:41You notice that much?
12:42I always had to watch their faces.
12:45After a while, you know what they're about to do.
12:52From now on, you don't have to watch anyone's face.
12:58This is your mom, Claire.
13:02Why didn't she come?
13:03Why didn't she come?
13:04She's at home.
13:04I haven't told her yet.
13:06Why?
13:07Because we've been here too many times.
13:11Every time I told her, I think we found her, it wasn't you.
13:16She can't take one more heartbreak.
13:19Oh.
13:19Did she look for me for seven years too?
13:22Last year, she fell on a pedestrian overpass in Manhattan, putting up missing child flyers.
13:28She had a compression fracture in her lower spine and was bedridden for three months.
13:34She's better now, but she can't keep pushing herself like she used to.
13:38They've been looking for me for seven years.
13:41One drives like nothing else matters.
13:43The other broke her back, hanging flyers.
13:46If I really am their daughter, I hit the jackpot.
13:50If I'm not, then I stole someone else's mom and dad.
13:55Dinner's here.
14:04Take it slow.
14:07I couldn't even put the feeling into words.
14:10Like I was dreaming, and I could wake up any second.
14:15Slow down.
14:16Don't choke.
14:26Go take a warm bath.
14:28The nurses left you clean pajamas and hot water.
14:30I'll wait right outside the door.
14:32Wait for what?
14:33For you to come out.
14:45You look exactly like Claire did at your age.
14:48I'm sleepy, mister.
14:52Let's get you to bed.
14:53Come on.
14:57I'm turning off the lights.
14:59Leave one on.
15:03I'm turning off the lights.
15:03Aren't you going home?
15:05No.
15:06Why?
15:07I'm staying with you.
15:08Sir, the DNA test results aren't back yet.
15:11I know.
15:12What if it doesn't match?
15:14Then I'm still staying.
15:18You're eight years old.
15:21You were thrown out in a blizzard and slept beside a trash can.
15:25Whether you're my daughter or not, you're staying here tonight.
15:27We'll deal with tomorrow.
15:29Okay.
15:29Good night.
15:30Good night.
15:32Good night.
15:32This warmth wasn't from the heat or the blanket.
15:34It was from someone staying with me.
15:37Gemma!
15:37My baby!
15:39Gemma!
15:40My baby!
15:41What are you doing here?
15:42I told Patrick not to tell you yet.
15:43Ethan, are you out of your mind?
15:45You think you may have found my daughter and you were going to hide that from me?
15:51How many times do you think I can lose her?
15:59Gemma, it's you, my Gemma.
16:02The DNA test isn't back yet.
16:03I don't need a DNA test to know my own child.
16:06I carried her for nine months.
16:08You think I wouldn't know my own daughter?
16:10She is my daughter!
16:13Gemma, Mom's here.
16:16I was too late.
16:17My baby, where were you?
16:19I've been looking for you for seven years.
16:22Even in my dreams, I was looking for you.
16:24It was too much all at once.
16:26In seven years with the Carters, no one had ever held me.
16:29But tonight, two people already had.
16:32Ma'am?
16:35Call me Mom.
16:37The DNA test still has...
16:38Ethan, say DNA test one more time!
16:41Look at her face, her eyes, her nose.
16:46She's exactly the same as when she was little.
16:48Claire, let go for a second.
16:50She's hurt.
16:51Don't make it worse.
16:57Who did this?
16:58I've handled the immediate danger.
17:00I already have people looking into it.
17:01Just calm down.
17:03How am I supposed to calm down?
17:05My daughter was missing for seven years, and someone did this to her.
17:09How am I supposed to stay calm?
17:13Gemma, does it hurt?
17:15Anywhere besides your face?
17:18Not that much anymore.
17:21And it still hurts a little.
17:22Where, honey?
17:23Tell me.
17:24I scraped my knee.
17:25The nurse already cleaned it and wrapped it.
17:32Rachel, it's Claire.
17:33I need you to look into something right now.
17:35Yes, now.
17:36How will we quiz me down?
17:38What do you mean it's three in the morning?
17:39I don't care.
17:41Secure the hospital records first.
17:42Then call the Pine Creek Sheriff's Office and Child Protective Services
17:45and send everything to the District Attorney's Office.
17:48Child abuse.
17:49Ray Carter from Pine Creek
17:51and his wife, Brendan Carter.
17:53I don't care what it takes.
17:55File the emergency protective order first.
17:57I want the full legal plan before sunrise.
18:02Those two will pay for every injury they put on her.
18:05However many years that is, they don't get one day less.
18:09Ma'am?
18:10Call me mom.
18:12Ma'am?
18:16All right.
18:16Until the DNA test comes back, you can call me whatever you want.
18:21Are you still hungry?
18:22Thirsty?
18:23Want some warm milk?
18:25You keep talking about the DNA test.
18:28When do the results come back?
18:31The doctor said three hours total.
18:32One more hour.
18:34In one hour, I'll know.
18:36If it really is me, I'll have a mom and dad.
18:40Rich ones, too.
18:42If it's not,
18:44I go back by the trash can.
18:46Either way, I still came out ahead.
18:49One more night of heat,
18:51a bowl of hot oatmeal,
18:52and a hot shower.
18:54What are you thinking about?
18:57Nothing.
18:58You were frowning.
18:59I wasn't.
19:01Right here.
19:02It tightened for a second.
19:03You're worried.
19:05She was even better at reading people than I was.
19:08She's worried the DNA test won't match.
19:13Listen to me.
19:15That test will match.
19:16I know it.
19:18But even if by some miracle it doesn't,
19:21you are not going back to the Carters.
19:24Do you understand?
19:26There was something heavy in her tears.
19:28Not pity.
19:30Anger and tenderness tangled together.
19:32Because no one had ever told me.
19:35Being hit, starved, and thrown out of the house wasn't discipline.
19:39It was a crime.
19:41I always thought it was because I wasn't good enough.
19:44Not good enough.
19:46Not obedient enough.
19:47Not useful enough.
19:49And because I ate meat that wasn't meant for me.
19:52An eight-year-old was thrown out in a blizzard
19:54and left to sleep by a trash can.
19:57Covered in injuries.
19:59This isn't about biology anymore.
20:01It's child abuse.
20:03It's a crime.
20:15Come in.
20:19Mr. and Sister's Claire Whitmore,
20:21the results of the rapid DNA test are in.
20:23Just tell us the result.
20:24The probability of parentage is 99.999%.
20:27Congratulations.
20:29Gemma is your daughter.
20:30I knew it.
20:32I knew it the second I saw you.
20:37Gemma, my Gemma.
20:39Call me mom.
20:40Okay.
20:42Okay, what?
20:43Okay, mom.
20:46Oh, mom.
20:50Patrick, it's her.
20:51The DNA test confirmed it.
20:53She's my daughter.
20:54Tell everyone my daughter's been found.
21:03So this is what mom and dad smell like.
21:06Home.
21:07We're going home.
21:08We'll never be apart again.
21:10I bet right.
21:11Two quarters,
21:12a payphone call,
21:13and a missing child flyer
21:15I pulled out of the trash
21:17got me my home back.
21:19It was worth it.
21:21Hmm.
21:22Right, it's confirmed.
21:23Don't release a public statement yet.
21:25Handle Pine Creek first.
21:26Yes.
21:27Go today.
21:32Morning.
21:33Morning.
21:34Hungry?
21:35Mm-hmm.
21:38You like it?
21:40Mm-hmm.
21:40From now on, every day.
21:42One in the morning, one at night.
21:44Mm-hmm.
21:49Slowly.
21:52Not hot.
21:54No fever.
21:55Thank God.
21:57Mr. Ethan Whitmore?
21:58We've confirmed what happened in Pine Creek.
22:00Ray Carter, 44,
22:02unemployed, long history of alcohol abuse.
22:04Brenda Carter, 42,
22:05does temp work at the town farmer's market.
22:07They have a biological son,
22:08Tyler Carter, 12.
22:09In March 2017,
22:11they paid $5,000 cash
22:13to an illegal middleman for a baby girl.
22:15About one year old.
22:16Your daughter.
22:17What about the middleman?
22:18We found him.
22:20Larry Sloan.
22:21He used to work the mall area,
22:22targeting kids who were alone.
22:24He was arrested in 2019
22:25in another child trafficking case.
22:27He's still in state prison.
22:29Ray and Brendan?
22:30The Pine Creek Sheriff's Office
22:31picked them up at 6 this morning.
22:33What charges are they pursuing right now?
22:35Child trafficking
22:36and receiving a kidnapped child.
22:38Legal team is also moving to add
22:40multiple felony child abuse charges.
22:42That still isn't enough for child abuse.
22:44Mr. Whitmore,
22:45sentencing is set by law.
22:47I don't want to hear the minimum.
22:51Did they photograph
22:52and document every injury?
22:53The hospital's pediatric forensic team
22:55finished the injury documentation
22:56and evidential photos last night.
22:59Good.
23:00Pursue every charge we can to the end.
23:02I want them to serve
23:03every day they deserve,
23:04not one less.
23:08How'd it go?
23:10It's handled.
23:12I hired a lawyer too.
23:13I know.
23:14Have Rachel work with my legal team.
23:16No point duplicating the work.
23:17Gima,
23:18did you hear what we just said?
23:19You know,
23:19you were never really theirs.
23:21You're our daughter.
23:23You were stolen from us.
23:25From us.
23:26I know.
23:27Do you
23:28hate them?
23:29I just don't want to see them again.
23:35It was the first time
23:37she'd ever wiped my mouth.
23:38I was already eight.
23:40She'd missed the first seven years.
23:43Maria,
23:43call the private pediatric team
23:45in Manhattan
23:46and set up Gemma's follow-up care
23:47starting tomorrow.
23:49Helen,
23:49send me the nutritionist meal plan
23:51and get Gemma a few new outfits.
23:53All soft,
23:54organic cotton.
23:56Gemma,
23:57is there anyone in Pine Creek
23:58you'll miss?
23:59Any friends?
24:01Mrs. Miller next door.
24:03She was nice to me.
24:05She'd secretly give me bread and money.
24:07I'll have someone thank her.
24:09Anyone else?
24:10No.
24:12What about kids at school?
24:13No.
24:14Not even one?
24:15I had classmates.
24:16Just no friends.
24:18Why?
24:18My clothes were always torn
24:20and I smelled bad.
24:22They didn't want to play with me.
24:34not anymore.
24:36From now on,
24:37you can wear whatever you want
24:38and
24:38be friends with whoever you want.
24:42Mm-hmm.
24:43This feels like suddenly holding
24:45a huge birthday cake.
24:47I'm scared to move
24:48because if I do,
24:50it might break.
24:52I'm scared to move
25:11because if I do,
25:18I don't know.
25:22Welcome home,
25:23Ms. Whitrapear.
25:26Why are they all standing here?
25:30Don't be scared.
25:31They're the house staff.
25:33They help cook
25:34and take care of the place.
25:47Is this really my home?
25:50It is.
25:51This home is yours.
25:53If you want to roll around
25:54on the carpet,
25:55you can.
25:56Really?
25:57Really.
26:06Is it soft?
26:08Yeah.
26:09It is.
26:10Up you go.
26:11Let's go see your room.
26:13I get my own room?
26:15Of course.
26:16We kept your nursery
26:18exactly the way it was
26:19before you went missing.
26:20But you're a big girl now,
26:22so we had a new room
26:23made just for you.
26:25When did you do all this?
26:27Weren't you at the hospital
26:27all night?
26:28Made a call from the car.
26:29Had it set up.
26:45Do you like it?
26:53I just had the bunny brought in.
26:55If you don't like pink,
26:56we can change everything.
26:57Don't change it.
26:58I like it.
27:04From now on,
27:05if you want something,
27:06tell me.
27:07Anything.
27:08It's yours.
27:10This is my home now.
27:12No one's ever
27:13throwing me out again.
27:21All this is for me?
27:23Mm-hmm.
27:23The nutritionist
27:24put it together.
27:25You're too thin.
27:26We need to build you
27:27back up slowly.
27:38Miss Whitfield,
27:39have some soup first.
27:40It'll warm you up.
27:47Can I eat by myself?
27:48I mean,
27:49can you not watch me
27:50the whole time?
27:51Okay.
27:52We won't look.
28:08What?
28:09Who does she think
28:10she is
28:10making that demand?
28:19Eat slowly, okay?
28:20Mom's just gonna
28:21check on something.
28:23Brenda's making a scene
28:24at the sheriff's office.
28:25She says she paid
28:26for Gemma,
28:27raised her for seven years,
28:28got attached,
28:29and now she wants
28:29to see her.
28:30Not a chance.
28:32Absolutely not.
28:36She has the nerve
28:37to say she cares?
28:38She beat that child
28:40until she broke her bones.
28:41I've already told
28:42our lawyer.
28:43No contact.
28:44No visitation.
28:45This isn't just
28:46about visitation.
28:47I want more charges.
28:48Submit every photo
28:49of Gemma's injuries
28:50and make her serve
28:51ten more years.
28:52The team is already
28:53on it.
28:54But she has a lawyer too.
28:56What kind of lawyer
28:57defends someone like that?
28:58A course-appointed
28:59public defender.
29:00The court assigned him.
29:01He doesn't get
29:01to choose his clients.
29:07Gemma,
29:08just eat.
29:09Don't...
29:09She wants to see me.
29:10That's not happening.
29:11She's not seeing you.
29:12I know.
29:15But why does she still
29:16want to see me?
29:17Probably so you'd speak
29:18for them.
29:18Say they treated you well.
29:21It could help her
29:22get a plea deal
29:22or a lighter sentence.
29:24Yeah,
29:25she's dreaming.
29:31Gemma,
29:32listen to me.
29:33Whatever she says
29:34or does,
29:34you don't have to respond.
29:36We'll handle it.
29:36You just eat well
29:37and grow up.
29:39And as for you
29:40going back...
29:40I know, Mom.
29:41I'm not scared of her.
29:43I was scared at her house
29:45because I couldn't get away.
29:46Now I have you.
29:48I'm not scared anymore.
29:50Then she can stay locked up.
29:51I'm going to eat my salmon.
29:52Dad missed a bone.
29:54It almost got stuck
29:55in my throat.
29:56What?
29:57I checked every tiny bone
29:58three times with threesers.
30:00Kidding.
30:16Miss Whitfield,
30:17don't touch that.
30:18I'll get it.
30:18It's too heavy.
30:22I've got it.
30:26Mom will help you.
30:29There were no strings attached.
30:31No,
30:32do this first
30:33if you want to eat.
30:34And no,
30:35be good or you'll get hit.
30:38They just ask what I want,
30:40then give it to me.
30:41Like I'm enough
30:43just for being here.
30:44It feels so strange.
30:46I lie awake at night
30:47thinking,
30:49what if one day
30:50they don't want me anymore?
30:54What if I do one thing wrong
30:56and get thrown out again?
30:58The DNA test proved it.
31:00I'm their real daughter.
31:03You can't
31:04return your own daughter,
31:06can you?
31:12I'm a little thirsty.
31:21My whole body locked up.
31:22My hands shook
31:23like I'd touched a live wire.
31:25If you broke something,
31:26you got thrown out.
31:27You didn't get fed.
31:29I'm sorry.
31:30I'm sorry.
31:31I didn't mean to.
31:32I'll clean it up.
31:33I'll pay for it.
31:36Miss Whitmore,
31:37it's okay.
31:38It's okay.
31:40Did you step on any glass?
31:42I'll pay for it.
31:44I'll clean it up.
31:45I'll pay for it.
31:45Don't pick it up.
31:46You'll cut your hands.
31:48Miss Whitmore,
31:48don't touch it.
31:52What happened?
31:58Gemma, look at me.
31:59Gemma, look at Dad.
32:03Let me see your hand.
32:06It's okay.
32:06It's just a glass.
32:07We have a hundred more.
32:08One doesn't matter.
32:09Ten don't matter.
32:11You're not going to hit me?
32:12No.
32:14No one will ever hit you.
32:16Gemma, listen to me.
32:17In this house,
32:18you don't get hit
32:18for breaking something.
32:20Doing badly on a test
32:21or making a mistake,
32:22no one gets to hit you.
32:24Ever.
32:25Because you're my daughter.
32:26My job is to protect you,
32:27not hurt you.
32:28Okay.
32:37Come on.
32:38Let's get that cleaned up.
32:56Does it hurt?
32:57Just a little.
32:59Hang in there.
33:05Your mom bought that.
33:07She changed everything she could
33:09to things you might like.
33:11It looks pretty.
33:13Dad.
33:14Yeah?
33:15I might still break things sometimes.
33:18Then let them break.
33:20What if it's something really expensive?
33:22How expensive?
33:24Like that vase on the cabinet?
33:26That one's worth over a million dollars.
33:28But if you broke it,
33:29I'd make sure you weren't hurt first.
33:31Then blame the vase for being there.
33:33What did the vase do?
33:35It dared to trip my daughter.
33:37It deserves to break.
33:38Then I won't break it for now.
33:39It's too expensive.
33:41That'd be a waste.
33:42Go watch TV.
33:43If you want some water,
33:44have Helen get it for you.
33:45I can get it myself.
33:47Use a plastic cup.
33:49Okay.
33:59This feels really nice.
34:02So being alive
34:03can actually feel nice.
34:10Giamma,
34:10do you want to switch schools?
34:14To where?
34:15Best private elementary school
34:16in Manhattan.
34:16We'll pick the one you like best.
34:18There's no rush.
34:19You can stay home and rest first,
34:20then start when you're feeling better.
34:21I want to go to school.
34:22I always got good grades,
34:23and I learned faster than the other kids.
34:25My old school just wasn't very good.
34:27I already knew a lot of what they taught.
34:29I want a better school.
34:30Okay.
34:30I'll have someone contact them tomorrow.
34:33But...
34:33What is it?
34:35I don't really know how to make friends.
34:37At my old school,
34:38nobody talked to me,
34:39and I'm not very good at talking to people first.
34:41What if I go to a new school,
34:42and nobody wants to play with me again?
34:44Then don't play with them.
34:46Is that really what you're teaching her?
34:48I mean,
34:49she doesn't have to force it.
34:50Not with friends.
34:51Just be yourself.
34:53The people who like you will come to you.
34:54And the ones who don't,
34:56they're not worth changing yourself for.
34:57He didn't say it very well,
34:59but he's right.
35:00Jema,
35:01there are going to be lots of kids your age
35:03at your new school.
35:04They won't push you away for old clothes
35:06or anything like that.
35:07You won't have to wear worn-out clothes anymore,
35:10and you don't have to worry about that now.
35:12Just be yourself.
35:14It's not the clothes.
35:16I'm scared I don't know how to smile.
35:18In the seven years I lived with the Carters,
35:20I hardly ever did.
35:21Over there,
35:22smiling was dangerous.
35:23But I'm only eight.
35:24I shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that.
35:26Jema,
35:27what did they call you before?
35:29Daisy Carter.
35:30They just made it up.
35:32Daisy.
35:33Your real name is Jema Hope Whitmore.
35:36Your dad chose it when you were born.
35:38Jema means a precious jewel.
35:40And hope,
35:41because with you,
35:42tomorrow always felt worth believing in.
35:44Jema Hope.
35:46Honestly,
35:47it sounds a thousand times better than Daisy Carter.
35:51Jema's enough.
35:51Your mother and I have always called you Jema.
35:55Jema.
35:56I like it.
35:57It sounds like a real name.
35:59One that's mine.
36:01Okay?
36:02I'm Jema Hope Whitmore.
36:06My tummy's full,
36:08and so is my heart.
36:11Jema,
36:12what grade are you in now?
36:13Second grade,
36:14but I can skip straight to third.
36:16Are you sure?
36:17I've read third grade textbooks on my own.
36:19and the town library had them,
36:21and I read almost all of them.
36:22Then let's test her.
36:23Please prepare a third grade placement test.
36:25Okay.
36:33I'll take care of it.
36:34What do you want for lunch?
36:35I can have Helen make something and bring it over.
36:37The school has a cafeteria.
36:39The cafeteria food might not be very good.
36:42Mom,
36:42I want to eat in the cafeteria.
36:44I want to have lunch with the other kids.
36:47Okay.
36:47Eat at school.
36:49Okay,
36:49I'm going now.
36:50Wait.
36:53Mom,
36:54my backpack really can't fit anything else.
36:57Okay.
36:58Let's go.
37:01Jema,
37:02I'll pick you up after school.
37:04If you're upset,
37:05call home.
37:06My number's saved on your smartwatch.
37:08Got it.
37:10She's so fair,
37:11and her braids are so mean.
37:13Okay.
37:14Jema,
37:15take your seat.
37:15Your third row by the window.
37:21Hey,
37:22I'm Chloe.
37:23Where'd you go to school before?
37:25Near Pine Creek.
37:27That's so far.
37:28Why'd you transfer here?
37:30We moved.
37:31Oh,
37:32so where do you live now?
37:33Chloe Quinn.
37:34Here.
37:34Class has already started.
37:36Oh.
37:39want to go to the snack shop after class?
37:41I'll treat you to flaming hot cheapos.
37:44Sure.
37:46Sure.
37:54This one's for you.
37:56This one's for you.
38:05Spicy, salty, and really good.
38:08The kind you know is junk food,
38:10but you still can't stop eating.
38:13Good, right?
38:15Mm-hmm.
38:18My mom doesn't let me eat these.
38:20She says they're full of artificial coloring,
38:23but I can't help it.
38:25What about you?
38:27My mom doesn't know.
38:29Then it's a flaming hot Cheetos pact.
38:31Secret between us.
38:33Okay,
38:33flaming hot Cheetos pact.
38:35I didn't have to watch anyone's mood
38:36or try to please them.
38:38We just had to finish a bag of snacks together.
38:45Gemma,
38:46was your old school big?
38:49Not really.
38:51So is our school big?
38:52Really big.
38:53Even the playground has a rubber surface.
38:56Yeah,
38:57and we even have an indoor pool.
38:59Can you swim?
39:01No.
39:03That's okay.
39:04We'll teach you.
39:06Run with us in gym.
39:10What's your favorite color?
39:12Pink.
39:14Me too!
39:17I like purple.
39:22Purple's pretty too.
39:24I didn't know what to do with that kind of warmth.
39:30They weren't going to hit me or yell at me.
39:33They just wanted to talk to me.
39:42How was it?
39:44It was good.
39:47Did anyone give you a hard time?
39:49No.
39:50Did you make any friends?
39:52I made one.
39:53Her name's Chloe.
39:55Chloe?
39:56What's she like?
39:58She's kind of chubby,
40:00eats a lot,
40:01and talks really loud.
40:03She sounds nice.
40:08Dad?
40:09Yeah?
40:10Someone asked what school I used to go to today.
40:13I just said it was far away.
40:15They didn't ask anything else.
40:16Hmm.
40:17If anyone asks about your family,
40:18you don't have to answer.
40:20Nobody gets to make you explain what you've been through.
40:25Dad?
40:27Hmm?
40:28Are people in Manhattan all rich?
40:31No.
40:32Some are very rich,
40:34and some are just getting by.
40:37Then are we the rich kind?
40:41You could say that.
40:42How rich are we?
40:44Why are you asking that all of a sudden?
40:46Just curious.
40:47Chloe said her dad owns an ice cream shop,
40:50and she thinks her family is already really rich.
40:53So I want to know if we have more than they do or less.
40:57Hmm.
40:58A little more.
40:59How much more?
41:02Gemma, you're eight.
41:04You don't need to worry about that yet.
41:06Okay.
41:09You're back.
41:10How was your first day?
41:11Pretty good.
41:12I made a friend,
41:13and I had Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
41:15Flamin' Hot Cheetos?
41:17Yeah.
41:18Chloe shared them with me.
41:25A Flamin' Hot Cheetos packed.
41:32You're crying over one little short rib?
41:35I'm not crying.
41:37I just got dust in my eye.
41:39What are you two talking about?
41:40Why should...
41:40Nothing.
41:41Sit down and eat.
41:43A month went by,
41:44and my life settled into a rhythm.
41:47Every day felt safe.
41:49Safe in a way I could count on.
41:50I didn't have to be scared all the time anymore.
41:54Who put these here?
41:55No idea.
41:57Your dad spent two hours online last night
42:00figuring out what books eight-year-old girls like.
42:10Thanks, Dad.
42:12Hmm.
42:20Not sure yet.
42:22Brenda may have sent him after you,
42:23or he was just there to cause trouble.
42:25Starting today,
42:26you'll have protection to and from school.
42:28I'll assign a security team.
42:29They'll keep their distance
42:30so your classmates won't notice.
42:32You don't need to worry about it.
42:34Okay.
42:35Brenda Carter.
42:36Her name felt like a bug
42:37crawling out of the trash.
42:39I thought she was in prison,
42:40but somehow she was reaching for me again.
42:43Dad?
42:44Yeah?
42:45How long did Brenda get?
42:47Child trafficking,
42:48plus multiple felony child abuse charges.
42:51She got five years and six months.
42:54And she's still causing trouble from inside,
42:56sending her brother after you.
42:58Trying to get less time on appeal.
43:01She actually claimed she'd done her duty by you.
43:04She's asking for a reduced sentence.
43:08Taking care of me?
43:09She hit me?
43:11Starved me?
43:13Blew me out in the cold?
43:15That's taking care of me?
43:16It's not happening.
43:18My legal team won't let her cut even one day off her sentence.
43:22What about her brother?
43:23We reported him to the police.
43:24He got a formal warning.
43:26If he comes near the school again,
43:27they'll detain him.
43:28Dad?
43:29Yeah?
43:29I'm not scared of her.
43:31Really.
43:32I was scared before because I couldn't get away,
43:36and no one helped me.
43:40It's different now.
43:48Yeah.
43:50I'm here.
43:51No one gets to touch you.
43:56Yes, we've already called the police,
43:58but that's not enough.
43:59I want an emergency protective order.
44:01Yes, emergency.
44:02I don't care what the court needs.
44:04If that man comes within 500 yards of my daughter again,
44:07I'll make sure he goes to prison with his sister.
44:14You're back.
44:15Hungry?
44:15Don't worry.
44:19Mom's not worried.
44:20Mom's just angry.
44:21I know.
44:22The vein right here is throbbing.
44:24You got that from me, too?
44:26Genetics.
44:29Okay, go wash your hands.
44:31Helen made honey glazed this chicken.
44:38Mom.
44:39Hmm?
44:40Can I learn something later?
44:42Like what?
44:43How to fight.
44:45Not because I want to hurt anybody.
44:48Just in case.
44:49If someone comes after me,
44:51I don't want to just wait for help.
44:53I want to protect myself, too.
44:55Taekwondo, boxing, or judo?
44:57Any of them.
44:58I'll find you a coach.
44:59Weekend classes.
45:00It won't affect school.
45:02I could protect myself, too.
45:04That felt safer than a soft pillow and hot short ribs.
45:36Summer came.
45:37I grew almost an inch.
45:37Coach says I'm explosive.
45:39I was weak before, but I'm getting stronger fast.
45:42School's getting better, too.
45:44I got an A on the midterm.
45:46You've only been here three months.
45:48How'd you get an A?
45:49Reading.
45:51What book works that well?
45:52I'm buying it, too.
45:54Did you eat so many Flamin' Hot Cheetos you left your brain in the bag?
46:00I've noticed I smile more than I did a month ago.
46:04It's still small, but it's enough.
46:12Gemma, look here.
46:17What are you doing?
46:18It's your first midterms at your new school.
46:20Of course we need a picture.
46:22Mom, this is so extra.
46:24It is not.
46:25It's your first big test here.
46:26We have to get a picture.
46:31Mom, if you cry again, I'm not posing.
46:34I'm not crying.
46:35The sun's just too bright.
46:37Come on.
46:38We're getting barbecue tonight.
46:39Dad already made a reservation.
46:41Really?
46:42Really.
46:43He said top three calls for a celebration.
46:46That was my shadow.
46:48Clean, whole, and held.
46:52It was the same girl who'd curled up by the trash can three months ago.
46:58But it didn't feel like her anymore.
47:02Mom.
47:03Yeah?
47:05Thank you.
47:07For what?
47:09For looking for me for seven years.
47:13Mom, I don't blame you.
47:15Either of you.
47:19You don't have to thank us.
47:21Your dad and I are the ones who owe you.
47:27We didn't protect you.
47:29It wasn't your fault.
47:39Manhattanton is alive in June.
47:41People sell ice cream, walk their dogs, ride bikes.
47:49Everywhere I look, life feels warm and real.
47:53That winter three months ago.
47:56That blizzard.
47:59It already feels so far away.
48:14Can you handle spicy food?
48:17Yep.
48:18How spicy?
48:21As spicy as the flaming hot Cheetos Chloe gave me.
48:32All right, family barbecue platter, half plain, half spicy.
48:36You help her with the meat.
48:37I'll handle the salad.
48:41Why are you only eating vegetables?
48:43Your mom's got me cutting back.
48:44That's so sad.
48:46You're eight.
48:47You don't need to feel sorry for your dad.
48:55I'll handle the salad.
48:55I'll handle the salad.
48:55This is so good.
48:57Slow down.
48:58Don't choke.
49:03Dad, have one.
49:06Thanks.
49:13Ah.
49:16I ate too much.
49:18A second ago, at wing number eight, you were asking for one more.
49:22That was eight wing meat.
49:24This is twelve wing meat.
49:25Totally different.
49:30Have some fruit.
49:32You're not eating that much tomorrow.
49:34We'll see tomorrow.
49:46Three months ago, when I found that missing child flyer, I thought maybe I could be their daughter.
49:53Back then, I thought I was pretending.
49:56If I played along, maybe I'd get food and a place where nobody hit me.
50:01But the DNA test said I wasn't pretending.
50:05I really am their daughter.
50:07I didn't lie to anyone.
50:09I just found my way home beside a trash can.
50:12Two quarters, one pay phone call, and I got a home.
50:16What if I'd spent that fifty cents on an eraser?
50:20What if I never found that missing child flyer?
50:24What if I'd been a little more scared, and never made that call?
50:28I'd probably still be with the Carter family.
50:32Claire's humming on my left.
50:34She's off-key, but I didn't tell her.
50:37The streetlights turn everything warm and yellow.
50:41The wind is hot.
50:43June hot.
50:46There aren't any stars.
50:48The city lights are too bright.
50:51But that's okay.
50:53I don't need stars anymore.
50:56I have streetlights.
50:59A road home.
51:01And people waiting for me.
51:04That's enough.
