I BET YOU'RE HAPPY NOW!
YEAH, YEAH. PUSH IT ALL IN THERE.
HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, HUH?

DOES THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

(HUMMING)
WES?
YOU PROMISED ME.
REMEMBER?
IF SHE LIVED PAST THE AGE OF TWELVE
WE COULD GET HER SOME HELP?
POW.
BILLY?
BILLY, GET UP.
GOD DAMN IT.
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?
HE'S GOING TO KILL ME. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
I'M AS GOOD AS DEAD.
YOU JUST HAVE TO TELL HIM YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT.
YOU WOKE UP AND WE WERE BOTH GONE.
OH YEAH AND HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO HAVE GOTTEN AWAY HUH?
YOU CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF.
I DON'T KNOW, YOU'LL HAVE TO THINK OF AN EXCUSE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE ON?
DEPARTMENT OF WELFARE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.
IS THIS WHERE YOU HANDLE THE BLIND?
NO MA'AM, THIS IS SOCIAL SERVICES.
NOW IF YOU JUST GO AROUND BACK HERE...
COULD YOU LEAD ME THERE THEN?
I, I'VE GOT CATARACTS
AND THE WOMAN TOLD ME ON THE TELEPHONE
TOLD ME I COULD COME DOWN HERE AND GET SOME BENEFITS.
WHO'S THAT WITH YOU?
THAT'S KATIE, MY DAUGHTER.
HOW OLD ARE YOU KATIE?
SHE'LL BE FOURTEEN IN APRIL.
"THE PARENTS OF A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL"
"ARE FREE ON BAIL TONIGHT,"

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
MRS. STANDON IS AN INNOCENT VICTIM OF
HER DOMINEERING HUSBAND.
THAT'S THE ONLY COMMENT WE HAVE TO MAKE AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LITTLE GIRL? DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
THAT'S THE ONLY COMMENT WE CAN MAKE AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
WELL WHERE'S THE HOUSE WHERE THE PEOPLE
TIED THAT LITTLE GIRL UP TO THE TOILET?
(MUFFLED COMMENTARY)
ALL RISE.
BE SEATED.
STATE VERSUS STANDON,
YOU ARE CHARGED WITH WOEFUL GROSS NEGLECT OF A MINOR
PLACED IN YOUR CUSTODY. HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
LOUISE?
I PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
I'M SORRY.
(MUFFLED COMMENTARY)

"DR. MORRIS,"
"PLEASE DIAL ONE, ONE, EIGHT."
"DR. CRAVITZ,"
"YOU HAVE A VISITOR IN THE MAIN LOBBY."
"DR. CRAVITZ, A VISITOR IN THE MAIN LOBBY."
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
I WAS EXPECTING...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.
STAN CLAIMS HE'S HEARD HER USE A FEW WORDS FOR COLORS
AND MOMMA AND STOP IT.
I'VE HEARD HER USE THOSE MYSELF.
WE GATHER SHE LEARNED THEM BEFORE SHE WAS LOCKED AWAY,
BUT SO FAR
SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE PICKED UP ANY NEW ONES.
WELL SHE'S, SHE'S ALMOST FOURTEEN RIGHT?
SO, SO THE CRITICAL PERIOD IS PASSED.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
LENA BURG'S HYPOTHESIS.
IF A CHILD DOESN'T ACQUIRE A LANGUAGE BY THE TIME IT REACHES
PUBERTY, IT NEVER WILL.
WELL, SHE HASN'T OFFICIALLY
CROSSED THAT LINE YET SO,
EVEN IF THIS THEORY IS CORRECT
THEN SHE STILL HAS A LITTLE TIME.
NOW LISTEN, I DON'T WANT YOU TO JUST DIVE
IN THERE AND START TESTING.
I WANT YOU TO SPEND THESE NEXT FEW WEEKS GETTING
TO KNOW HER. BUILD UP HER CONFIDENCE AND TRUST.
UNLESS OF COURSE,
YOU'D LIKE TO BACK OUT RIGHT NOW.
YOU LIKE THE HAIR?
KATIE, WHAT COLOR IS THAT?
KATIE?
DO YOU KNOW THE COLOR? DO YOU KNOW WHAT COLOR THAT IS?
HUH?
THAT'S RED, YOUR HAIR IS BROWN,
MINE'S GREY.
KATIE?
DO YOU REMEMBER ME? I'M DR. GLAZER.
I BROUGHT A FRIEND OF MINE WITH ME TODAY.
HER NAME IS SANDRA.
SANDRA.
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
SO, DID YOU MEET THE FAMOUS WILD CHILD?
AND?
KATIE,
RISE AND SHINE.
YOU REMEMBER MS. TANNEN, DON'T YOU?
MORNING KATIE.
KATIE,
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING, OKAY?
HERE.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THAT?
HERE, GO AHEAD.
(SNIFFLING)
(MUFFLED COMMENTARY)
NOW KATIE,
HERE, WATCH ME.
OKAY? ALRIGHT?
SEE?
APPARENTLY SHE WAS NEVER GIVEN ENOUGH TIME TO CHEW HER FOOD.
SO SHE WAITS FOR IT TO BREAK DOWN IN HER MOUTH.
HOW ARE YOU DOING SUGAR PIE?
I'VE GOT A PRESENT FOR YOU.
HOW DID YOU KNOW SHE WANTED THAT?
SHE TOLD ME.
SHE DID?
WELL SHE DIDN'T USE HER WORDS,
BUT SHE TOLD ME JUST THE SAME.
AND HOW MANY BALLOONS DO YOU HAVE MAURY?
FOUR.
WHAT ABOUT YOU WESLEY?
HOW MANY BALLOONS DO YOU HAVE? - THREE.
I THINK YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK
AT THOSE BALLOONS. IS IT THREE
OR IS IT ACTUALLY TWO?
WELL,
THANKS TO KATIE
IT'S NOW DEFINITELY THREE.
VERY GOOD.
GOOD.
(CHILDREN SHOUTING)
NOW...
JUDY, HI.
WE WERE NEVER FORMALLY INTRODUCED.
I'M SANDRA TANNEN.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
YOU KNOW IT'S SO FUNNY,
THIS HOSPITAL HAS GONE TO SUCH LENGTHS
TO SECURE A GRANT AND WITH
THE MONEY THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN THEY COULD PROBABLY
BRING IN NOAM CHOMSKY HIMSELF.
INSTEAD, THEY RUN ACROSS TOWN TO U.C.L.A
AND FIND SOME
FIRST-YEAR GRADUATE STUDENT.
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED.
I DON'T HAVE ANY TIME CONSTRAINTS
OR FAMILY OBLIGATIONS.
NO EXPERIENCE.
DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU'RE QUALIFIED
TO TEACH THIS CHILD HOW TO TALK?
I'M NOT HERE TO TEACH HER HOW TO TALK. I'M HERE TO DOCUMENT
THE WAY SHE GOES ABOUT ACQUIRING LANGUAGE.
THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
WELL,
YOU'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO HAVE A LOT TO DOCUMENT.
THIS GIRL,
THIS GIRL IS GOING TO MAKE ME FAMOUS.
I'M GOING TO BE THE NEXT ANNIE SULLIVAN.
SHE REALLY SAID THAT?
CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE.
ANNIE SULLIVAN IS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT HELEN KELLER, RIGHT?
THAT'S THE ONE.
I MEAN, ALRIGHT,
SHE'S A VERY TALENTED TEACHER, I AGREE.
I'VE SEEN HER IN ACTION, BUT
I MEAN, TO STATE HER AMBITIONS
IN SUCH OVERT TERMS...
LOOK, I KNOW JUDY IS A LITTLE ECCENTRIC,
BUT LIKE YOU SAY, SHE'S VERY GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES
AND I THINK SHE'S ESSENTIALLY WELL MEANING.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MORE COFFEE, MRS. SANDON?
DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD.
KATIE?
DID I TELL YOU YOUR BROTHER MOVED AWAY?
DON'T KNOW IF I KNOWS WHERE EXACTLY.
DON'T KNOWS HE TOLD ME.
COULD I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
SURE.
PLEASE, WILL YOU EXCUSE US FOR A MINUTE?
THANK YOU.
SO,
SO I'M ASSUMING BECAUSE NOBODY TOLD ME SHE WAS GOING TO BE HERE
TODAY THAT IT'S NOT A VERY GOOD IDEA TO ASK HER ANY QUESTIONS?
I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY A WISE ASSESSMENT.
THEN I HOPE YOU CAN APPRECIATE MY SENSE OF FRUSTRATION.
I MEAN, WE KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT KATIE'S PAST.
THIS WOMAN IS IN A POSITION TO TELL US SO MUCH.
LAST TIME SHE TALKED SHE WOUND UP IN JAIL.
DON'T FORGET.
THE COURT HAS DECIDED THAT SHE'S A VICTIM TOO.
DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?
I MEAN, I'M NOT EVEN TALKING AS A SCIENTIST HERE,
I'M TALKING AS A HUMAN BEING.
I WANT TO KNOW.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WAS SUBJECTED
TO THIS KIND OF TORTURE. - WELL YOU JUST HAVE TO
BE PATIENT.
EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE SOME ANSWERS.
THERE'S BEEN A SUGGESTION AT THE HOSPITAL, DONATED SERVICES,
TO REMOVE HER CATARACTS.
KIND OF A...
GOODWILL GESTURE. - THAT'S RIGHT.
I STILL THINK IT'S VITAL
THAT KATIE CONTINUE TO SEE HER MOTHER.
SHE'S THE ONLY LINK TO THE PAST THAT CHILD HAS GOT.
DOESN'T IT FEEL GREAT TO GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL FOR A WHILE?
OH MY GOD.
WHAT'S WRONG?
SHE'S MASTURBATING.
JESUS.
WOW.
HEY. - THAT'S NOT... I GOT IT.
WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE KATIE?
GREEN.
GREEN, YES THAT'S GREEN.
THIS IS GREEN.
THESE ARE PEAS.
PEAS. - YEAH.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
OH MY GOD. - THAT'S RIGHT. PEAS.
AND THAT IS CORN.
CORN.
KATIE? KATIE?
HEY, HEY.
EASY. HELP.
KATIE, KATIE, COME HERE.
KATIE, KATIE, COME ON. - THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO
SHOW YOU KATIE. - SORRY.
LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE, HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED.
BOTHER? - BOTHERED.
GOOD, THAT'S RIGHT.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(INAUDIBLE COMMENTS)
THEN WE WERE AT THE TOY STORE
AND KATIE WAS LOOKING AT THESE BEACH PADS, YOU KNOW?
SHE JUST LOVES ANYTHING PLASTIC.
RIGHT. - SO FINALLY,
STAN AND I DECIDE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUY HER ONE
AND THE CASHIER SAYS TO US, ARE YOU SURE SHE WANTS ANOTHER ONE?
AND WE SAID, WELL WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
AND SHE SAYS, WELL THAT WOMAN WHO JUST LEFT
JUST BOUGHT HER ONE. - WOW.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING. WHAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING IS THAT,
IS THAT STAN AND I WERE WITH HER THE WHOLE TIME AND
SHE NEVER SAID ONE WORD TO THAT WOMAN OR TO ANYONE ELSE.
HEY, DID YOU PAY THE PHONE BILL BY THE WAY?
I MEAN,
I GUESS IT'S NOT THAT SURPRISING.
SHE'S BEEN CUT OFF FROM LANGUAGE,
SO NATURALLY SHE'S DEVELOPED THIS WHOLE OTHER
WAY OF COMMUNICATING, BUT,
BUT IT IS SO FASCINATING.
IT IS SO FASCINATING TO SEE THE AFFECT SHE HAS ON PEOPLE.
RIGHT.
WHAT ARE THESE?
EYE. - THAT'S GREAT.
AND YOU HAVE EYES, RIGHT?
WHERE ARE YOUR EYES?
NO, THOSE ARE MS. BINGHAM'S EYES.
WHERE ARE YOUR EYES?
LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S JUST LIKE SHE'S BLIND.
I MEAN, EVEN THE WAY SHE WALKS IS A BLINDISM TOO.
IT'S LIKE SHE'S TESTING OUT THE GROUND
BENEATH HER FEET BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T EVEN TRUST HER EYES.
NO ANTARCTICA,
THAT'S A GOLDMINE FOR STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF
SOCIAL ISOLATION.
SPENT THREE WHOLE SUMMERS THERE.
IN FACT, I'VE EVEN GOT A MOUNTAIN NAMED AFTER ME.
WAIT, SHE'S WAKING UP.
LOOK AT HER.
SHE'S SCARED TO DEATH. CAN I JUST GO IN THERE
FOR A FEW MINUTES? - DON'T WORRY. SHE'LL BE BACK
TO SLEEP IN NO TIME.
NOW, WHEN YOU ISOLATE SOMEBODY
YOU START TO SEE THE EFFECTS IN AS LITTLE AS FIFTEEN MINUTES.
I IMAGINE WITH WHAT THIS LITTLE GIRL HAS BEEN THROUGH,
WE'RE GOING TO FIND SOME PRETTY SEVERE ABNORMALITIES.
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
I'M JUST GOING TO GO AND SAY HELLO SO SHE KNOWS I'M CLOSE BY.
SANDRA?
THAT'S THE GENERATION FOR YOU.
HI KATIE.
HI.
NO, NO, NO. YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
NO, NO. I KNOW IT'S SO UNCOMFORTABLE.
OH NO.
NO SWEETIE. LAY DOWN. NO, NO.
IT'S OKAY. HOW ABOUT I SING YOU A SONG?
HOW ABOUT I SING YOU A SONG?
HUSH LITTLE BABY, DON'T SAY A WORD.
COME ON.
MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A MOCKINGBIRD.
AND IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON'T SING,
MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A DIAMOND RING.
THAT'S GOOD.
IF THAT DIAMOND RING DON'T...
HUSH LITTLE BABY,
DON'T SAY A WORD.
MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A MOCKINGBIRD.
AND IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON'T... SOMETHING,
MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A DUM DUM SOMETHING.
SANDRA SILLY, SANDRA SILLY.
WELL, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.
YOU SEE THESE SPINDLES HERE?
YOU SEE HOW THEY'RE ALL BUNCHED UP TOGETHER LIKE THAT?
THAT'S GENERALLY THE SIGN OF RETARDATION FROM BIRTH.
MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A MOCKINGBIRD.
AND IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON'T SING,
MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A DIAMOND RING.
SO SHE SAID SANDRA'S SILLY HUH?
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. - AMAZING.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME SHE'S CALLED ME BY NAME.
OR PUT TWO WORDS TOGETHER FOR THAT MATTER.
COME HERE KATIE.
WELL, WE ALL KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME PROGRESS WITH IT.
THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT LACY IS WRONG.
IT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S RIGHT EITHER. IT'S JUST ONE STUDY.
YOU KNOW LACY ADMITTED HIMSELF, YOU FIND THOSE EXACT SAME
SLEEP SPINDLES IN INFANT BOYS WHO HAVE JUST BEEN CIRCUMCISED.
DON'T FORGET,
KATIE STARTED SPEAKING AT SIXTEEN MONTHS.
WHICH IS NOT THE CASE WITH RETARDED CHILDREN.
KATIE? KEY KATIE.
COME HERE. - LOOK, LOOK. I'M NOT TRYING TO
BE BIASED. I'M PREPARED TO FOLLOW THE FACTS WHEREVER
THEY MIGHT LEAD.
(MAN GROWLING)
NO KATIE. KATIE, DON'T DO THAT.
KATIE, COME HERE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL OFF YOUR DOG?
PRETTY THINGS.
PAIL, MY PAIL.
YES, I KNOW.
YOU LIKE PAILS.
PAIL. YES, I KNOW.
LIKE BUCKET.
YES AND YOU LIKE BUCKETS TOO.
I KNOW, BUT
WHY IS THIS ONE A PAIL
AND THIS ONE A BUCKET?
THEY LOOK THE SAME TO ME.
WELL, MAKING MORE OF OUR LITTLE RESEARCH
NOTES I SEE?
KATIE,
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEND THE NIGHT AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT?
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
DR. GLAZER SAID IT WAS FINE.
THIS CHILD IS NOT SIMPLY SOME
TOOL OF SCIENCE YOU KNOW?
IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE SPENT SOME TIME AT
A NORMAL HOME. - A NORMAL...
JUDY, DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU OF CERTAIN COMMENTS YOU'VE MADE?
(MUFFLED COMMENT)
AND MS. BINGHAM LIKES KATIE TOO.
MS. BINGHAM LIKES KATIE MORE THAN
ANYBODY IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
HELLO?
WELL, SHE'S STILL ASLEEP.
SURE, I CAN GIVE HER A MESSAGE.
WAIT, YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
WHO IS IT ROB?
KATIE HAS BEEN QUARANTINED OVER AT JUDY BINGHAM'S HOUSE.
JUDY HAS CONTRACTED RUBELLA.
KATIE HAS BEEN STAYING OVER AT HER HOUSE,
SO SHE'S BEEN EXPOSED TOO.
NOW OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN RISK INFECTING THE
REST OF THE CHILDREN AT THE HOSPITAL.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
WELL, I SAW HER WITH MY OWN TWO EYES
AND SHE'S DEFINITELY GOT SOMETHING.
YEAH, SHE'S GOT SOMETHING ALRIGHT. SHE'S GOT KATIE.
ALRIGHT, LET'S JUST RELAX OKAY?
IT'S GOING TO BE BUSINESS AS USUAL,
ONLY FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
IT WILL ALL TAKE PLACE AT JUDY'S HOUSE.
HI KATIE.
COULD YOU OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME?
THE DOOR.
COULD YOU GO AROUND AND OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME?
YES, THE DOOR.
NO, SWEETIE...
HI, YEAH.
COULD YOU OPEN THE DOOR?
OPEN THE DOOR.
SWEETIE PLEASE, JUST OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME?
I'M SORRY I WAS INDISPOSED, COME IN.
SANDRA!
OH YES, SANDRA CERTAINLY DID WAIT.
SO,
HOW ARE YOU FEELING JUDY?
MUCH BETTER, THANKS.
GO STORE?
BOY KATIE, YOU ARE CERTAINLY LEARNING A LOT OF NEW WORDS.
BUT STORE IS HER FAVORITE.
EVERY BUILDING SHE SEES
SHE STOPS AND POINTS AND SAYS STORE.
GO STORE.
IF IT'S ALRIGHT WITH MS. TANNEN, IT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME.
LET'S GO.
YOU CAN WATCH T.V FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES
AND THEN IT'S TIME TO SLEEP.
I CAN'T GET OVER HOW WELL SHE'S DOING.
YOU'VE REALLY GOT A GIFT JUDY.
WELL,
I GUESS I CAN EMPATHIZE.
I WAS A VERY SICKLY CHILD MYSELF
AND I ALWAYS WANTED KIDS OF MY OWN, BUT
I GUESS IT WAS JUST NOT MEANT TO BE.
ANYWAY,
I SUPPOSE YOU'VE NOTICED THAT KATIE
IS FOND OF
TOUCHING HERSELF, HAVEN'T YOU?
YEAH, OF COURSE.
SHE'S EVEN DONE IT IN PUBLIC A FEW TIMES.
AND YOU'VE TRIED TO STOP HER? - YEAH, OF COURSE I HAVE.
BUT YOU KNOW KATIE,
SHE'S GOT A MIND OF HER OWN.
YES, BUT CHILDREN ARE SPONGES AND THEY DO
WHAT THEY'RE TAUGHT TO DO.
WELL, NOT ALWAYS YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, LINGUISTICALLY SPEAKING
THE SEEDS OF LANGUAGE ARE THERE FROM BIRTH
AND THE ONLY WAY FOR A CHILD NOT TO DEVELOP LANGUAGE
IS TO, WELL,
WELL TO DO WHAT KATIE'S PARENTS DID.
TO ISOLATE HER COMPLETELY.
AND YOU THINK THE SEXUAL INSTINCT WORKS THE SAME WAY?
WELL, IT'S NOT REALLY MY FIELD OF EXPERTISE,
BUT EVEN, EVEN INFANTS MASTURBATE RIGHT?
WANT SUGAR?
THANK YOU.
JUDY BINGHAM HAS ACCUSED ME OF MOLESTING KATIE.
I WENT OVER THERE YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW, JUST TO
CHECK THINGS OUT
AND JUDY TOLD ME
THAT I COULD TAKE KATIE OUT FOR A WALK.
SO,
WE GET BACK TO THE HOUSE,
KATIE'S HAIR IS A LITTLE MESSED, YOU KNOW, FROM THE WIND.
JUDY LOOKS RIGHT AT HER... - SHE'S OUT OF HER MIND.
SHE'S COMPLETELY OUT OF HER MIND.
I CAN'T DESCRIBE, I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW I FELT. I MEAN, A CHARGE LIKE THAT?
YOU KNOW? IF IT GOES PUBLIC? I'M THE LAST PERSON
IN THE WORLD TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
WHO WOULD BELIEVE HER?
I MEAN, YOU PRACTICALLY SAVED KATIE. EVERYONE IN THIS
HOSPITAL KNOWS THAT.
YOU TREATED HER LIKE SHE WAS YOUR OWN.
IT DOESN'T MATTER, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IF I WIN A SUIT FOR SLANDER
THE CHARGES WOULD STILL STICK,
THEN PEOPLE WOULD ALWAYS WONDER.
I REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT LITTLE GIRL,
BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY CHOICE EXCEPT TO
QUIT THE TEAM.
KATIE? JUST...
THE DOOR. THE DOOR.
YOU KNOW DOOR? OH KATIE, PLEASE?
NOT AGAIN. - I'LL BE RIGHT BACK KATIE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I DON'T THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD IDEA
FOR YOU TO SEE KATIE TODAY.
YOUR VISITS ARE TIRING HER.
SINCE WHEN?
SINCE WHEN DO YOU DECIDE WHO SHE SEES AND DOESN'T SEE?
YOU'RE NOT HER GUARDIAN. - WELL AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'VE APPLIED TO BECOME JUST THAT
AND UNTIL SOCIAL SERVICES
MAKE THEIR DECISION SHE'S TO REMAIN IN MY CUSTODY.
JUDY, JUST DON'T YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
YOU'RE CUTTING HER OFF FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD.
IT'S LIKE SHE'S RIGHT BACK IN THE HOUSE SHE GREW UP IN.
FIRST STAN YORK
AND THEN ME. WHO'S GOING TO BE NEXT HUH?
ARE YOU GOING TO GO ON HOLDING HER HOSTAGE
FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE?
HOW ABOUT,
THIS?
NO?
OKAY,
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
OKAY.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
LIKE, LOG.
YES, YES THAT'S IT!
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU KNEW WHAT A LOG WAS.
OKAY,
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
AM I DISTURBING ANYTHING? - NO, NOT AT ALL.
I WAS JUST REVIEWING THE SAME WORK
I WAS DOING OVER A MONTH AGO.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I CAN DO AT THIS POINT.
YOU KNOW,
BEVERLY AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
THIS WHOLE SITUATION AND
WELL,
WE PRETTY MUCH DECIDED
TO APPLY AS KATIE'S FOSTER PARENTS.
OH NORMAN,
THAT'S THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD IN WEEKS.
IT'S NOT A FIRM DECISION YET.
I MEAN, KATIE IS... OBVIOUSLY SHE'S,
A HANDFUL AND WE DO HAVE THREE CHILDREN OF OUR OWN.
OF COURSE, OF COURSE, OF COURSE.
SORRY IN MY, IN MY ZEAL I HADN'T EVEN
GIVEN THAT ANY CONSIDERATION.
AND THEN I'VE ALREADY TAKEN OVER AS KATIE'S THERAPIST.
I MEAN, BEVERLY WITH HER BACKGROUND IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT
WILL BE A LOT OF HELP IN THAT DEPARTMENT,
BUT I'M ALSO A RESEARCHER ON THE CASE. SO,
TO TRY AND BALANCE ALL OF THAT IS...
YEAH, I SEE, I SEE.
IS SEE YOUR DILEMMA.
BUT I THINK IT CAN BE DONE.
SO IF
KATIE'S SOCIAL WORKERS GIVE US THE GO AHEAD
THEN WE'RE,
WE'RE WILLING TO GIVE IT A SHOT.
HERE WE GO.
KATIE?
YOU FORGOT ONE.
I LOVE YOU.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
NOT NOW YOU DON'T,
BUT BELIEVE ME, THIS IS NOT OVER YET.
YOU ARE DEPRIVING THIS CHILD OF THE
BEST HOME SHE'S EVER HAD OR EVER WILL HAVE.
AND I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL PAY,
IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DO.
(MUFFLED COMMENTS)
HAVE A GOOD DAY OKAY? - BYE.
(CAR ENGINE RUMBLING)
(DOGS BARKING)
"HEY, HEY, HEY."
(DOG GROWLING)
KATIE?
KATIE,
KATIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
KATIE, STOP THAT RIGHT THIS SECOND.
STOP, STOP.
KATIE, WATCH ME. WATCH.
OKAY, WATCH THIS.
I AM SO MAD.
BOY, I'M SO MAD I COULD JUST...
YOU SEE?
I'M SO MAD THAT I COULD JUST THROW A COMPLETE TANTRUM.
JUST LIKE THIS. JUST...
YOU SEE ME?
I'M SO MAD, I'M SO MAD, I'M SO MAD.
HIGHER. GOOD, NOW SAY
I AM MAD KATIE.
SAY I'M MAD. - KATIE MAD.
GOOD, GOOD. NOW JUMP UP AND DOWN, JUMP UP AND DOWN.
I KNOW THIS IS HELPING KATIE,
BUT YOU MAY LIVE TO REGRET THIS ONE DAY.
HARDER, JUMP UP AND DOWN. GOOD.
NOW SAY I AM VERY, VERY ANGRY.
I AM VERY, VERY ANGRY.
GOOD, GOOD. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO RUN OVER HERE AND
SLAM THE DOOR. JUST SLAM THIS DOOR.
YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT.
CAR
HAS
MIRROR.
THE CAR
HAS A MIRROR.
KATIE, DID YOU TAKE MY HAIR BRUSH?
CAN'T THIS WAIT UNTIL LATER?
WELL I'M SORRY, BUT SHE'S BEEN APPROPRIATING TOO MANY OF MY
THINGS AND FRANKLY
MY PATIENCE IS RUNNING A LITTLE THIN.
I'M GOING TO GO TALK TO HER.
SO,
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW?
WANT SANDRA PLAY PIANO.
OH IT'S CONCERT TIME, IS IT?
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ME PLAY?
I AM TRYING REALLY HARD,
I REALLY AM,
BUT SOMETIMES I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS REALIZE THAT
I HAVE PROBLEMS TOO.
IT'S REALLY HARD.
COME ON, OF COURSE WE DO.
OH.
OH,
WE HAVE A REQUEST,
FOR CHOPIN.
OKAY.
LET ME FIND SOMETHING I KNOW.
OKAY.
(PIANO PLAYING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
YES.
WELCOME.
HI THERE.
SO I,
I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE
EVER ACTUALLY SEEN ME IN PERSON, ISN'T IT?
YOU'RE A LOT SHORTER THAN I THOUGHT YOU'D BE.
IT'S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU MRS. SANDON.
LOUISE.
KATIE, MOMMA'S HERE.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING TO DRINK?
DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD, THANK YOU.
WELL, LUNCH IS ALMOST READY.
I MADE SOMETHING SPECIAL, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
THERE SHE IS.
HERE'S KATIE.
HAPPY...
KATIE HAPPY
MOMMA SEE.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER
TO MAKE HER WALK SO PECULIAR?
SO,
I HEAR YOU'RE FROM OKLAHOMA?
I USED TO BE.
YOU EVER SEEN A TORNADO?
ONCE.
I ACTUALLY DID A PAPER
FOR SCHOOL ON TORNADOS AND I FOUND SOMETHING
KIND OF INTERESTING.
THEY'VE ACTUALLY HIT LOS ANGELES A COUPLE TIMES.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
WHAT? I MEAN,
THINK ABOUT IT. YOU'VE GOT
WARM AIR COMING UP FROM BAHA,
COLD AIR COMING DOWN FROM THE SIERRA NEVADAS.
SO IT'S THE INTERACTION OF THOSE TWO FRONTS CAUSING A TORNADO.
JONATHAN'S GOT THE FAMILY APTITUDE FOR SCIENCE.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
KATIE,
WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO BEFORE
YOU REACH FOR SOMETHING AT THE TABLE?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ASK RIGHT?
NOW SAY, MAY I HAVE THE APPLE SAUCE PLEASE?
COME ON KATIE.
COME ON, YOU CAN DO THAT.
DON'T TORTURE THE CHILD.
IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO.
I MEAN,
SHE COULD HAVE AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGED THE OPERATION.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE WE
ARRANGED IT AS SOME FORM OF BLACKMAIL.
WELL I THINK SHE MUST BE
OVERWHELMED.
I MEAN PERSONALLY, I DON'T KNOW
HOW WELL I WOULD TAKE IT
IF I ARRIVED AT A COMPLETE STRANGERS HOUSE
AND THEN I SAW THIS COMPLETE STRANGER
ACTING AS A SURROGATE MOTHER TO MY CHILD.
WELL,
I GUESS SHE MUST FEEL PRETTY POWERLESS.
GOOD MORNING KATIE.
GET UP, IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST.
WELL, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED.
WHAT'S FINALLY HAPPENED?
WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
HI KATIE.
HI.
I KNOW BEVERLY ALREADY TRIED TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU,
BUT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU HAPPENS TO
EVERY WOMAN. IT HAPPENS TO ME,
IT HAPPENS TO BEVERLY.
IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE BECOMING A BIG GIRL, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS.
I THINK SHE'LL BE ALRIGHT.
GOD, SHE JUST FINISHED TOILET TRAINING
AND SHE'S ALREADY MENSTRUATING. - OH LOOK,
THERE IS A SILVER LINING TO ALL THIS.
THE CRITICAL PERIOD IS OVER.
ANYTHING KATIE LEARNS FROM NOW ON
IS OVER THE LINE. SO I GUESS
WE'RE GOING TO FINALLY FIND OUT IF
THE LENA BURG THEORY IS CORRECT.
IT'S NOT A THEORY.
IT'S A HYPOTHESIS.
KATIE IS GOING TO PROVE IT WRONG.
YOU JUST WATCH.
(CHILDREN LAUGHING)
ALRIGHT, QUIET DOWN PEOPLE.
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
WE HAVE A NEW STUDENT WHO'S GOING TO BE JOINING US TODAY.
SHE'S A LITTLE BIT OLDER
THAN THE REST OF US, THANK YOU.
THAN THE REST OF YOU, BUT
SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL BEFORE.
SO I WANT YOU ALL TO BE
ESPECIALLY NICE TO HER,
SO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
YES MS. WILL.
CLASS, THIS IS KATIE STANDON.
AND WHAT DO WE SAY TO KATIE?
HI KATIE. - HI KATIE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ALRIGHT DEAR, YOU CAN SIT DOWN WHEREVER YOU'D LIKE.
SIT HERE.
YOU ARE FIGHTING.
SIT HERE.
HELLO.
(MUFFLED COMMENT)
NOW KATIE, THIS IS KURT.
NOW HE'S ALREADY BEEN TOLD WHERE
TO DROP YOU OFF. SO DON'T WORRY, OKAY?
KATIE?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(MUFFLED COMMENTS)
IT MUST HAVE TAKEN TWO WHOLE MINUTES
WHEN WE FINALLY GOT HER LOOSE.
HOW DID THE BUS DRIVER TAKE IT?
OH HE WAS GREAT, HE WAS GREAT.
HE WAS A REALLY NICE GUY.
DID I MENTION HE'S GORGEOUS?
SEVERAL TIMES.
OH GOD, I TOLD KATIE IF I WERE UNATTACHED I WOULD
GO FOR HIM IN A HEART BEAT.
WOULD YOU NOW?
SORRY.
OH GOD, YOU KNOW I'M WITH KATIE SO MUCH
AND SHE CAN BE SUCH A TEASE.
SHE'S GOT THIS REALLY PLAYFUL SIDE
THAT YOU'LL SEE ONE DAY.
SHE'S GOT THIS AMAZING CAPACITY TO SORT OF,
SORT OF CATCH YOU UP IN WHATEVER MOOD SHE IS IN.
IT'S... - IT'S MAGICAL.
YEAH, SHE'S JUST MAGIC ALL THE WAY AROUND.
HEY, IS SOMETHING WRONG?
IT'S JUST, EVER SINCE YOU STARTED WORKING WITH KATIE
I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT HER. I MEAN THAT'S PRETTY MUCH
ALL YOU TALK ABOUT.
SO I'M BORING NOW?
NO, BUT YOU KNOW YOU KEEP,
YOU KEEP BUILDING HER UP. YOU KEEP SAYING I'M GOING TO
MEET HER ONE DAY, SO I'M JUST...
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, NOBODY CAN BE THAT GREAT.
FINE.
FROM NOW ON
MY LIPS ARE SEALED.
WHERE IS,
MAY I HAVE TEN CENTS?
NOW, DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A QUESTION KATIE?
A QUESTION.
OKAY, I WANT YOU TO JUST TRY AGAIN
AND THIS TIME I WANT YOU TO TRY VERY HARD.
OH GEEZE, I AM SO SORRY.
I WAS AT THE HOSPITAL...
NORMAN, THIS IS ELEANOR.
SORRY I DON'T REMEMBER... - SHULTZ.
HOW DO YOU DO? - THIS IS DR. RICHARD TENNISON.
HELLO. - WE'RE FROM THE NATIONAL...
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH, YES.
BEVERLY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME YOU WERE...
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, PARDON ME. I ASSUMED
THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE SEEING EACHOTHER AT MY OFFICE AND...
WELL THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE MOST OF THE WORK TAKES PLACE.
YES, YES IT IS.
KATIE!
KATIE, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
BEVERLY DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU SPIT ON THE FLOOR.
TOY COAL CAR MINE.
COAL MINE IS IN THE BASEMENT.
YOU SEE, SOMETIMES WE APPROPRIATE
SOME OF KATIE'S TOYS
AS A, KIND OF A DISCIPLINARY...
LOOK, WHY DON'T I JUST SHOW YOU AROUND?
THE SPOON GOES HERE KATIE.
I SHOWED THEM ALL THE VIDEO TAPE I'VE SHOT.
FOR ALMOST AN HOUR THEY SIT THERE LOOKING AT IT AND
ALL THEY CAN SAY IS, SO WHERE IS YOUR RESEARCH?
WELL I JUST SHOWED THEM MY DAMN RESEARCH.
AND THEY START IN ABOUT HOW IT'S NOT ALL PERFECTLY CATALOGED.
WELL THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR ISN'T IT?
WELL OF COURSE IT IS, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S NOT FAIR FOR THEM TO JUST DROP BY AND
EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT. - MOM! I THINK WE NEED YOU
IN HERE. - HERE WE GO AGAIN.
NORM,
YOU DON'T THINK WE'RE IN ANY DANGER OF LOSING THE GRANT,
DO YOU?
OF COURSE NOT. THEY KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
I JUST,
I JUST NEED TO CLARIFY MY PART OF THE RESEARCH.
GOOD MORNING KATIE.
GOODBYE!
(MUSIC PLAYING)
WHAT'S THAT?
KURT LOVES KATIE.
MS. BRILL, MS. BRILL.
KATIE IS DRAWING DIRTY PICTURES.
KATIE!
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
VERY, VERY ANGRY.
(PIANO PLAYING)
(INAUDIBLE COMMENTS)
KATIE, WHAT'S WRONG?
I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT.
TELL ME WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.
COME ON, PUT IT INTO WORDS.
I NEVER DID GET OUT TO THE BEACH MUCH.
WES WOULD NEVER TAKE ME.
HE WAS A CRUEL MAN, WASN'T HE?
KATIE SAID SOMETHING THE OTHER DAY.
SHE SAID,
AND THESE ARE HER EXACT WORDS,
FATHER HIT BIG STICK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN?
WELL WES, HE DIDN'T LIKE NOISE.
THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T WANT CHILDREN.
AND KATIE, WELL,
SOMETIMES...
SHE'D MAKE NOISE.
AND WES, HE KEPT A,
A BIG STICK IN THE CORNER OF HER ROOM
FOR WHEN SHE ACTED UP.
SO HOW OFTEN DID HE BEAT HER?
NOT ALL THAT MUCH.
HE HAD A FEW OTHER WAYS OF KEEPING HER QUIET.
LIKE?
HE'D GROWL.
WHAT?
HE'D GROWL.
LIKE A DOG.
(GROWLING)
THAT KEPT HER QUIET?
I IMAGINE SO, OTHERWISE HE WOULDN'T HAVE KEPT ON DOING IT.
THOSE PEOPLE KATIE LIVES WITH,
THE GLAZERS,
THEY DON'T CARE FOR ME MUCH, DO THEY?
I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.
THEN WHY WON'T THEY LET ME SEE KATIE AT THEIR HOUSE?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DRIVE KATIE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE,
WELL,
I THINK THE GLAZERS,
YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE CONCERNED THAT YOU MIGHT
NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE SEEING,
SEEING KATIE WITH,
WITH, WELL YOU KNOW, FOSTER PARENTS.
LOUISE, IT'S NOT THAT THEY DON'T LIKE YOU.
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO BE CONSIDERATE.
UH HUH.
COME ON KATIE.
ASK ME A QUESTION.
LOOK, I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS
JUST ASK ME SOMETHING.
DARK.
YES, IT IS DARK. IT'S LATE.
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION AND
WE'LL BE ALL THROUGH.
WHERE KURT
COME THURSDAY?
SO WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO ASK ME IS,
WHERE WILL KURT
PICK ME UP ON THURSDAY,
RIGHT?
DARK.
(DOOR BELL RINGING)
ALRIGHT, LET'S CALL IT A DAY.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD YOU I HAVE A FRIEND I
WANTED YOU TO MEET?
THE ONE NAMED ROB?
REMEMBER? WELL HE'S FINALLY MADE IT OVER.
COME ON.
GET UP.
ROB,
THIS IS KATIE.
KATIE, THIS IS ROB.
HI KATIE.
KATIE,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
THAT'S VERY PRETTY KATIE.
SHE MADE IT ALL BY HERSELF.
YOU DID? - I SEW DRESS.
BEVERLY TAUGHT HER HOW TO OPERATE A SEWING MACHINE.
ROB WANT GRAHAM CRACKER?
I THINK SHE'S INVITING YOU FOR A SNACK.
ASK HIM AGAIN AND THIS TIME
PUT IT IN A QUESTION.
I WHERE IS,
CRACKER.
I'D BE HONORED TO SHARE A GRAHAM CRACKER WITH YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
GO BACK TO BED ROB.
CAN'T THAT WAIT UNTIL MORNING?
ROB PLEASE,
GO BACK TO BED.
SHE'S LEVELED OFF.
I DON'T THINK SHE'S MAKING ANY TRUE PROGRESS AT ALL.
I MEAN,
THE VOCABULARY IS THERE.
YOU KNOW?
BUT IT'S NOT AT THE NORMAL LEVEL YOU'D FIND IN,
IN THE AVERAGE CHILD JUST ENTERING KINDERGARTEN
AND EVEN WITH THE WORDS THAT SHE HAS LEARNED,
SHE CAN'T CONSTRUCT A GRAMMATICAL SENTENCE
IN ENGLISH.
OR ANYTHING BEYOND THE RUDIMENTARY?
I LIKE SEWING.
IN KATIE'S CASE IT COULD JUST AS EASILY BE
SEWING LIKE I.
EVEN WHEN SHE IS BEING GRAMMATICAL IT'S NOT...
ON PURPOSE, YEAH.
I SEE YOUR POINT.
YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY AMAZES ME?
IS HOW AFFECTIVE SHE IS WHEN SHE'S,
WHEN SHE'S NOT RELYING ON SPEECH.
I MEAN,
SHE ALWAYS MANAGES TO FIND SOME WAY
TO MAKE HERSELF UNDERSTOOD NORM.
AND SHE'S SO GOOD WITH HER HAND.
MAYBE, MAYBE WE CAN FIND
A WAY TO COMBINE THE TWO.
LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.
READY? I,
WILL
SEE...
REMEMBER, YOU LEARNED IT LIKE THAT.
TWO FINGERS. SEE,
THE
DENTIST
TOMORROW.
DO IT AGAIN, ONE MORE TIME?
I WILL...
RIGHT. SEE,
THE
DENTIST
TOMORROW.
VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD.
HEY, SAY SOMETHING TO SANDRA.
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY.
KATIE
LOVES
SANDRA.
SANDRA
LOVES KATIE TOO.
MOM?
HEY.
WHEN DID YOU GET HOME?
THEY'VE DISCONTINUED THE GRANT.
WHAT?
THE N.I.M.H,
THEY'VE DROPPED IT.
I KEPT TELLING NORM TO ORGANIZE HIS RESEARCH
BETTER AND HE KEPT TELLING ME
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE KATIE?
THE GLAZERS HAVE ALREADY MADE
NEW ARRANGEMENTS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
THEY'VE ALREADY FOUND NEW ACCOMMODATIONS.
NEW ACCOMMODATIONS WHERE?
I FIXED UP YOUR ROOM.
YOU WANT TO GO SEE IT?
GO AHEAD KATIE.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
IT'S BRAND NEW.
THEY JUST DELIVERED IT THIS MORNING.
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
HE'S GONE ALREADY HUH?
WELL,
WHY DON'T I FIX US SOMETHING TO EAT?
I'M SEEING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
I KNOW HIS WORD I WOULD IGNORE.
I THINK THAT ONCE YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE INSTITUTION,
YOU'LL AGREE THAT KATIE COULDN'T FIND BETTER CARE ANYWHERE.
WELL, HELLO THERE.
HI.
MRS. DURAY THIS IS... - DURIA.
DURIA, THIS IS SANDRA TANNEN.
SHE USED TO WORK WITH KATIE.
ACTUALLY,
I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WORK WITH HER AGAIN.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION IS
GOING TO APPROVE MY GRANT PROPOSAL.
REALLY?
DO YOU KNOW PETER CHANG?
HE'S AT THE N.S.F.
NO, IT DOESN'T RING A BELL.
WELL, I BETTER RUN.
GIVE ME A CALL TOMORROW LOUISE
AND WE'LL TRY AND SET UP A MEETING TO GET TOGETHER AND SEE
THE PLACE AND IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
NICE WOMAN.
I DIDN'T QUITE GET WHAT SHE DOES.
HI KATIE.
HEY.
HOW ARE YOU?
OH YES, I KNOW. YOU MISS BEVERLY.
I'M SURE SHE MISSES YOU TOO.
WOW.
LOOK AT THAT.
WELL THAT IS JUST THE BEST PICTURE
ANYBODY HAS EVER MADE OF ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ANOTHER PICTURE
OF ROB?
SO I CAN TAKE IT HOME AND SHOW HIM WHAT A GREAT ARTIST YOU ARE.
LOUISE?
LOUISE, I HOPE YOU AREN'T CONSIDERING
PLACING KATIE IN COME SORT OF INSTITUTION.
I CAN'T SEE THAT I HAVE MUCH CHOICE.
SHE SPITS ALL OVER MY NICE, CLEAN FLOORS.
SHE STOMPS HER FEET AND SLAMS THE DOORS
AND SHE RUBS HER HANDS ALL OVER HER PRIVATE PARTS.
SHE NEVER USED TO DO SUCH THINGS.
YEAH, WELL,
SHE WASN'T ABLE TO.
OH GOD.
I THOUGHT I COULD TAKE CARE OF HER AGAIN.
KATIE HAS GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THE KINDS OF PROBLEMS SHE'S GOT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE IN YOUR PLACE LOUISE?
I WOULD CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES,
I WOULD ASK THEM TO PLACE KATIE IN A FOSTER HOME.
YOU KNOW SOME... A NICE COUPLE
WHOSE KIDS HAVE LEFT HOME OR
MAYBE THE KIDS ARE OLD ENOUGH TO HELP OUT?
I WOULD HATE TO SEE HER END UP IN AN INSTITUTION LOUISE.
IT IS TOO COLD AN ENVIRONMENT
FOR SOMEONE LIKE KATIE. SHE NEEDS LOVE.
SHE NEEDS A FAMILY.
(SIGHING)
LET'S BOW OUR HEADS IN PRAYER.
KATIE?
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
HEAD PRAYER?
THANK YOU COLLEEN.
HEAVENLY FATHER,
WE THANK YOU FOR THESE BLESSINGS YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON US.
WE PRAY THAT YOU GUIDE OUR ACTIONS AS
WE PERFORM YOUR WORK.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
JILL?
YOU KNOW YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO USE SIGN LANGUAGE.
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, JUST SAY IT.
WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU WHEN YOU TALK WITH YOUR HANDS.
THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO KATIE.
MY BROTHER GOT KILLED IN VIETNAM.
HE STEPPED ON A BOMB
AND GOT BLOWN UP.
BLOWN UP?
MM HMM.
KATIE,
I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN'T WEAR JEWELRY TO CHURCH.
NOW GIVE ME THE NECKLACE.
DON'T FOOL AROUND NOW KATIE.
COME ON, YOU'LL MAKE US ALL LATE.
(MUFFLED COMMENT)
THAT WILL BE QUITE ENOUGH OF THAT YOUNG LADY.
SO WHERE'S THE GIRL?
SHE MOVED.
DOING WELL I HOPE?
YEAH. YEAH, SHE'S DOING REALLY WELL THANKS.
WELL,
IF IT ISN'T THE FAMOUS LINGUIST HERSELF.
AND YOU ARE BECOMING QUITE FAMOUS YOU KNOW?
HELLO JUDY.
I READ YOUR LITTLE ARTICLE THAT
YOU GOT PUBLISHED. WHAT WAS IT CALLED?
OH YES, LINGUISITIC DEVELOPMENT
IN THE MODERN DAY WILD CHILD.
CATCHY TITLE,
BUT A LITTLE INSULTING TO KATIE.
DON'T YOU THINK? I MEAN,
SAYING THAT
KATIE COULDN'T FORM,
WHAT WAS IT? GRAMMATICAL QUESTIONS.
THAT'S A LIE.
MAYBE SHE NEVER DID WHEN SHE WAS WITH YOU,
BUT WHEN SHE WAS LIVING WITH ME SHE ASKED GRAMMATICAL QUESTIONS
ALL THE TIME AND SAYING THAT HER
FATHER HIT HER FOR VOCALIZING.
WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE A REMARK OF THAT KIND?
THAT'S NOT SCIENCE,
THAT'S CONJECTURE.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CUT UP A BANANA TO PUT ON YOUR CEREAL?
NO BANANA.
COLLEEN, PASS ME THE SUGAR?
I'LL TAKE HER TO THE BATHROOM.
WAIT A MINUTE.
I'LL GET SOMETHING TO
CLEAN THIS UP.
OH MY GOD.
AND FURTHER MORE I TOLD HER SHE COULD NO LONGER HAVE
ANY VISITS FROM HER MOTHER.
WHY?
BECAUSE SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO THEM.
THE ONLY WAY TO IMPRESS A CHILD
IS TO DEPRIVE IT OF SOMETHING IT VALUES.
MRS. MANNING,
DIDN'T THE D.S.S TELL YOU THAT THIS
GIRL HAS AN EXTREMELY UNUSUAL BACKGROUND?
WE HAVE TWO OTHER FOSTER CHILDREN
WITH EQUALLY UNUSUAL BACKGROUNDS.
THEY DON'T GO AROUND EATING THEIR OWN VOMIT.
IT'S THE ACT OF AN ANIMAL.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT KURT KATIE.
I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT KURT.
HI KATIE.
HI.
I HEARD ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT.
DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME ABOUT IT?
YOU'RE KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT
BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID YOU'LL VOMIT, RIGHT?
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
WHY DON'T YOU USE SIGN LANGUAGE?
MR. MANNING DOESN'T WANT HER TO USE SIGN LANGUAGE.
MR. MANNING... - MR. MANNING CAN GO TO HELL.
COLLEEN,
DON'T TELL MR. MANNING THAT I SAID THAT.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO TAKE IT OUT ON KATIE.
I PROMISE.
TALK TO ME.
KATIE, PLEASE TALK TO ME.
IF YOU WOULD JUST SEE HER FOR YOURSELF NORM
YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY I'M...
BUT ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR YOU TO JUST
TAKE HER BACK TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
THIS HOUSE IS THE WORST PLACEMENT YOU COULD POSSIBLY...
WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT LATER.
FIRST WE'VE GOT TO GET HER OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
I'M NOT EXAGGERATING IN THE SLIGHTEST.
THIS IS A REA CRISIS. IT'S...
OKAY.
OKAY, OKAY.
THANK YOU NORM.
THANK YOU.
HE'S GOING TO HELP?
YEAH.
HE'S GOING TO HELP.
GOOD MORNING MS. TANNEN.
MORNING.
PLEASE KATIE? KATIE,
YOU'VE GOT TO EAT.
KATIE, YOU'VE GOT TO EAT. IF YOU DON'T EAT YOU'LL
GET SICK. KATIE...
COME ON.
OPEN, OPEN, OPEN. YOU'RE OKAY.
YOU'RE OKAY, OPEN. GOOD.
SEE?
I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.
CAN I HELP YOU? - YES.
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE SOCIAL WORKER
WHO'S HANDLING THE STANDON CASE.
STANDON?
YEAH, KATIE STANDON.
IF YOU WOULD JUST PAY HER A VISIT.
I'M SURE YOU WOULD SEE THAT SHE'S GOT TO BE RELOCATED
IMMEDIATELY.
IT'S AWFUL THERE.
SHE WON'T EAT, SHE WON'T SPEAK.
SEEMS LIKE SHE'S THE PROBLEM, NOT THE FOSTER PARENTS.
SO YOU KNOW EVEN THE SLIGHTEST
THING ABOUT HER BACKGROUND?
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A VERY
UNIQUE CHILD HERE.
THEY'RE ALL UNIQUE.
YOU SEE ALL THESE FILES ON MY DESK?
THERE'S A CHILD THAT GOES WITH EACH ONE OF THEM.
ONE HAS LOST HIS PARENTS IN A FIRE,
ANOTHER HAS BEEN MOLESTED SINCE INFANCY.
AND I EMPATHIZE WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.
I DO, BUT IF YOU WOULD JUST,
JUST MAKE AN EFFORT
TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THIS PARTICULAR CHILD.
I THINK YOU WOULD SEE THAT SHE'S IN A CLASS ALL HER OWN.
OH SO WE'RE INTERESTED IN
CLASS DISTINCTIONS ARE WE?
SO,
YOU'RE NOT MARRIED TO MS. TANNEN?
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.
AND YOU'RE ALREADY LIVING TOGETHER?
YUP.
WE'RE LIVING IN SIN.
KATIE?
KATIE, DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE ROB?
HUH?
HE'S DYING TO SEE YOU.
KATIE HAS BEEN HURTING HERSELF.
SHE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME.
AT NIGHT SHE LIES THERE DOING IT
UNTIL THE BLOOD COMES OUT.
KATIE, LET ME SEE.
KATIE, SHOW ME.
WHERE?
OH... OH...
OH...
FIVE MINUTES.
THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING FOR.
FIVE MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.
I KNOW IT WAS HARD ON YOU.
I KNOW YOU AND BEVERLY HAD TO
SACRIFICE A GREAT DEAL
HAVING KATIE COME AND LIVE HERE WITH YOU.
MAYBE YOU DON'T THINK THAT I CAN APPRECIATE
THE EXTENT OF THOSE SACRIFICES,
BUT,
BUT IN MY OWN LIMITED WAY I THINK I CAN.
SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU
DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED AGAIN.
AND I WOULDN'T BE ASKING YOU IF I COULD THINK OF
ANYTHING ELSE TO DO.
I MEAN IF I WERE SANDRA TANNEN,
M.D, P.H.D,
L.C.S.W I COULD WALK INTO THAT HOUSE
AND TAKE HER STRAIGHT INTO THE HOSPITAL,
BUT I DON'T HAVE ALL THOSE LETTERS BY MY NAME NORM.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO MOVE HER BACK IN AGAIN.
I JUST WANT YOU TO HELP ME
STOP HER FROM DESTROYING HERSELF.
I MEAN,
IF YOU COULD JUST SEE THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
PLEASE HELP HER NORM?
I'M BEGGING YOU.
NOBODY ELSE WILL DO IT.
NOBODY ELSE.
IT'S JUST ME.
IT'S JUST ME, IT'S OKAY.
THE SECOND I HEARD SHE WAS LIVING
IN AN ABUSIVE HOME, I DIDN'T EVEN BLINK.
I GOT RIGHT IN MY CAR, I WENT OVER THERE AND
AN HOUR LATER I CHECKED HER INTO THE HOSPITAL.
WELL, HURRAY FOR YOU.
OH AMANDA, THIS IS SANDRA TANNEN.
SANDRA, THIS IS AMANDA BLACK FROM
THE D.S.S, SHE'S GOING TO BE TAKING OVER KATIE'S CASE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER
TWO GIRLS LIVING WITH THE MANNINGS
AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THEIR CASES ARE UNDER REVIEW.
I'D BE HAPPIER KNOWING THAT THEY WERE
BOTH OUT OF THERE.
WELL, THESE THINGS TAKE TIME,
BUT IT WOULD BE RELATIVELY EASY
TO FIND NEW PLACEMENTS FOR THOSE TWO.
KATIE,
WELL I'M SURE YOU KNOW THAT'S A BIT MORE PROBLEMATIC.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THIS SITUATION DOESN'T REOCCUR.
YEAH, I'M ALL FOR THAT.
YOU KNOW,
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'LL TAKE TO THIS SUGGESTION,
BUT HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE KATIE
COME LIVE WITH YOU? - WITH ME?
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
YOU TWO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP. YOU'VE
KNOWN EACHOTHER A FAIRLY LONG TIME.
YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF KATIE'S NEEDS.
IN FACT, WE'LL PROBABLY NEVER FIND
ANYONE ELSE WHO UNDERSTANDS HER NEARLY SO WELL.
IT'S, IT'S JUST...
SHE'S VERY DEMANDING I KNOW,
I KNOW. I REALIZE THAT.
IT'S NOT JUST HER,
IT'S US.
IT'S YOU. HOW WOULD YOU EVER FIND TIME TO
FINISH SCHOOL IF YOU HAD TO LOOK AFTER KATIE?
YOU KNOW, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THAT.
FROM EVERY PRACTICAL STANDPOINT
THIS IS THE WORST IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD.
BUT YOU CAN'T HELP THINKING ABOUT IT.
I'M SORRY, I MUST HAVE THE WRONG ROOM.
SHE WAS MOVED TO ANOTHER LOCATION.
YOU MEAN ANOTHER HOSPITAL?
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW?
SHE WAS MOVED THIS MORNING TO ANOTHER LOCATION.
THAT'S ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE.
WHO MOVED HER?
SOMEBODY HAD TO AUTHORIZE IT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT SHE WAS
ACCOMPANIED BY HER MOTHER.
SHE'S NOT HERE.
DO YOU MIND IF I ASK WHERE SHE IS?
IN A PLACE OF MY OWN CHOOSING.
AND DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF YOUR NONSENSE ABOUT WHAT'S GOOD
FOR KATIE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR KATIE.
YOU NEVER DID. - LOUISE,
PLEASE? I HAVE DRIVEN ALL
THE WAY OUT HERE. COULD I PLEASE,
PLEASE JUST COME IN AND SPEAK TO YOU
FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES?
LOUISE, PLEASE?
THE WAY YOU HOUNDED THAT CHILD.
DON'T SAY IT LIKE THIS KATIE,
SAY IT LIKE THAT.
AND GIVING HER ALL THOSE TESTS.
THAT'S WHY SHE COULDN'T GET ALONG WITH THE MANNINGS.
YOU PUSHED HER TO A POINT WHERE SHE DIDN'T
KNOW WHICH WAY WAS UP ANYMORE.
LOUISE, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
KATIE LOVED THE WORK THAT WE DID.
I MEAN,
THERE WERE DAYS WHERE EVEN I DIDN'T WANT TO WORK
AND SHE WOULD MAKE ME DO IT.
THAT'S THE WAY YOU TRAINED HER.
SHE WAS NEVER A PERSON TO YOU.
SHE WAS JUST SOME LITTLE
SCIENTIFIC PROJECT.
NO.
I NEEDED HER IN MY LIFE.
FROM THE, FROM THE FIRST MOMENT THAT I LAID EYES ON HER.
WELL YOU WON'T BE LAYING EYES ON HER ANYMORE.
IF I FIND YOU ANYWHERE NEAR KATIE
I'M GOING TO CALL MY LAWYER
AND THAT GOES FOR THE GLAZERS AND DR. YORK AND
ANYBODY ELSE FROM CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
SHE IS MY DAUGHTER.
I'LL DECIDE WHAT'S DONE WITH HER.
SHE'S GOING TO THINK THAT I ABANDONED HER.
YOU KNOW?
COULD I PLEASE SAY GOODBYE?
NO GOODBYES.
NO NOTHING.
JUST GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM
AND STAY THERE.
LOUISE,
THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE WANTED TO AS YOU FROM THE VERY BEGINNING,
BUT I NEVER FELT THAT I SHOULD.
WHY?
WHY DID YOUR HUSBAND ISOLATE KATIE?
I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
YOU CAN'T OR YOU WON'T?
HOW CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING I DON'T UNDERSTAND MYSELF?
NOBODY UNDERSTOOD WES,
EXCEPT MAYBE HIS MOTHER.
THIS WAS HER HOUSE.
WHEN KATIE WAS A BABY WE WOULD
SPEND ABOUT AS MUCH TIME HERE AS
WE WOULD AT OUR PLACE.
SHE WAS LIKE SOMEBODY OUT OF THE OLD WEST.
USED TO RUN A HOUSE OF ILL REPUTE.
EVEN IN HER OLD AGE SHE STILL PACKED A PISTOL.
OH WES, HE WAS JUST WILD ABOUT HER.
I THINK HE CARED MORE ABOUT HER THAN HE EVER DID ME.
SHE SOUNDS LIKE QUITE A CHARACTER.
OH SHE WAS.
WES WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER SHE DIED.
IT HAPPENED RIGHT OUTSIDE THIS DOOR.
SHE WAS WALKING OUT
TO GET AN ICE CREAM
WHEN THIS CAR COMES RIDING RIGHT UP ON HER.
KILLED INSTANTLY. JUST LIKE THAT.
AND I SWEAR SHE WASN'T IN THE GROUND MORE THAN A WEEK,
THEN WES MOVED US ALL IN HERE.
HER BEDROOM,
WES WANTED TO KEEP IT JUST THE WAY IT WAS
WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE.
SO WE ALL HAD TO SLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM.
OR EVERYBODY, BUT KATIE.
SHE HAD THE ROOM IN THE BACK.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE WES WAS
GIVE HER SOMETHING SPECIAL.
SOUNDS LIKE HE,
LIKE HE PROJECTED HIS FEELINGS
FOR HIS MOTHER ONTO KATIE.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
I DIDN'T MEAN TO...
GO ON.
WELL,
ONE DAY I TOOK KATIE TO THE DOCTOR.
SHE WAS SICK A LOT FROM THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
AND THIS DOCTOR SAID
IT LOOKED TO HIM LIKE SHE WAS RETARDED.
WELL THAT WAS IT AS FAR AS WES WAS CONCERNED.
HE SAID IF THOSE DOCTORS
GET A HOLD OF HER
WE'D NEVER GET HER BACK.
HE SAID THAT SHE PROBABLY WOULDN'T LIVE TO
THE AGE OF THREE ANYWAY,
BUT SHE JUST KEPT GETTING OLDER.
AND I WAS ALREADY STARTING TO GO BLIND,
SO WES,
HE WAS THE ONE TAKING CARE OF HER.
I KNEW SHE NEEDED HELP,
BUT WES...
HE WAS ALWAYS WALKING AROUND WITH THAT PISTOL
HIS MOTHER LEFT HIM.
THE ONE HE USED TO KILL HIMSELF WITH.
IT HAPPENED RIGHT HERE IN THIS ROOM.
SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I'LL HEAR THE FLOOR SETTLE
AND I COULD SWEAR IT WAS WES
WALKING AROUND WITH THAT PISTOL IN HIS BELT.
HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HER.
LIKE SHE WAS A PRINCESS
LOCKED AWAY IN A TOWER?
WES NEVER DID TRUST DOCTORS AND,
AND IN THAT REGARD I'VE COME AROUND
TO HIS WAY OF THINKING.
HELLO MS. TANNEN.
HI JUDY.
SO HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?
FROM THE MOMENT I READ THAT ARTICLE OF YOURS.
I THOUGHT KATIE'S MOTHER SHOULD KNOW THE KIND OF PEOPLE
SHE'S DEALING WITH, BUT BELIEVE ME,
I DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY MUCH. MY OBJECTIONS
FOUND VERY SYMPATHETIC EARS.
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT ARTICLE.
YOU WERE JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE.
YOU DIDN'T CARE WHAT IT WAS JUST AS LONG AS IT HELPED
YOU GET KATIE BACK.
AND THANKS TO YOU, I NEVER WILL.
POISONING THE D.S.S AGAINST ME?
WELL WHO'S SORRY NOW?
HELLO.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
"EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME,"
"I CONTINUE TO HOPE THAT"
"SOMEHOW,"
"SOMEWAY I'LL GET TO SEE KATIE AGAIN."
"AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT THAT POSSIBILITY,"
"WHICH IS EVERY SINGLE DAY,"
"I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT I'D SAY TO HER."
"I KNOW I'D APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING THE WAY I DID."
"IT WASN'T BY CHOICE, BUT"
"I'D APOLOGIZE JUST THE SAME."
"JUST SO SHE'D KNOW IT WASN'T HER FAULT."
"AND THEN I'D ASK ALL ABOUT HER LIFE."
"I'D ASK WHO SHE SEES, WHAT SHE DOES"
"AND WHETHER OR NOT SHE'S HAPPY."
"AND OBVIOUSLY,"
"I'D HOPE SHE'D TELL ME YES."
"EVEN IF SHE DID,"
"I'D STILL WISH THERE WAS SOME WAY I COULD GIVE HER BACK"
"ALL THE THINGS SHE LOST,"
"BUT I KNOW THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE."
"ALL I CAN DO IS CONCENTRATE ON"
"THOSE THINGS THAT ARE UNDER MY CONTROL."
"AND THAT GOES FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US."
"HUSH LITTLE BABY,"
"DON'T SAY A WORD."
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A MOCKINGBIRD."
"AND IF THAT MOCKINGBIRD DON'T SING,"
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A DIAMOND RING."
"AND IF THAT DIAMOND"
"RING TURNS BRASS,"
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU"
"A LOOKING GLASS."
"AND IF THAT LOOKING GLASS GETS BROKE,"
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A BILLY GOAT."
"AND IF THAT BILLY GOAT"
"WON'T PULL,"
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU"
"A CART AND BULL."
"AND IF THAT CART AND BULL"
"TURN OVER,"
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A DOG NAMED ROVER."
"AND IF THAT DOG NAMED ROVER"
"WON'T BARK,"
"MOMMA'S GOING TO BUY YOU A HORSE AND CART."
"AND IF THAT HORSE AND CART"
"FALL DOWN,"
"YOU'LL STILL BE THE SWEETEST"
"LITTLE BABY IN TOWN."
