A Sister's Nightmare (2013) - full transcript

No! Get off of me!

No! Get off of me!

No!

No! Get off of me! No! Please!!

Cassidy?

Cassidy?

Cassidy?

I'm waiting for your answer.

Would other members of
your family be at risk

if I were to allow you
to leave this hospital?

Is something funny?



Yes, Dr. Gershman.

Would you care to share
it with me?

No.

I see you've been drawing
on your arm again.

Do the black squares
represent something?

Just a game.

What sort of a game?

What sort of a game, Cassidy?

Hey hey hey. It's okay.

Mama's here. Mama's here.

Come on. It's okay.
Mama's here. It's okay.

I couldn't breathe. I know,
I know, it's okay. Here.

That roaring in my ears. Let's
get this off of you, okay?

Do you want your bucket?



No.

Alright here we go sweetie.

Under your tongue,
under your tongue, okay.

I couldn't.

I know sweetheart.
Let it dissolve.

Okay?

I couldn't get up
to the surface.

I know sweetie.
It was just a nightmare.

It was so real. I know.

The whistling. Everything.

I know.
But it wasn't real, was it?

Hi Phil.

Sorry I woke you up again.

It's okay. Sleep's overrated.

Okay. You gonna be alright?

Promise? You sure?

Yeah. You're not gonna wake
me up again?

I love you. I love you too.

Get some sleep, okay?
And I'm right upstairs.

Okay.

I love you.

I'd have given up on me
years ago.

Good thing your Mom's not you.

What? Your Mom's no quitter, Em.

Face it.

We're not going to Jamaica or

Mexico or anywhere together

after grad unless
you beat this thing.

You think I could be going
crazy and not know it?

You're not going crazy, Emily.

Okay, maybe a little bit.

Tina!

Lighten up, will ya?

According to my Mom,

tons of girls our age
have anxiety attacks.

She sees them all
the time in Emerg.

They think they're having
heart attacks.

Stabs right here?

I've had those.

Really?

Like when?

Remember when Bigsley
laid that surprise test on us?

Then.

Just please, don't quit
your lessons.

Or, say goodbye to Mr. Hottie.

Cassidy.

Dr. Schwartzien said these
should hold you off

until they could make you
an outpatient.

Is someone coming
to pick you up?

No.

I hope things work
out for you, Cassidy.

Morning.

Hey.

Just the way you like it.

Thank you.

Behavioral therapy.

Aren't you already
an authority on that?

Well I was hoping this
site would give us

some different ideas.

Things we haven't tried before.

But all the same stuff.

Maybe you and Em need a break.

I mean, you said it yourself,

the poor kid goes from
one therapy to another

and you research
every one of them.

Em's a teenager now and
this might be something

she needs to figure out herself.

Thanks, Phil.

Thank you Phil.

You better get dressed.
It's a big day.

Can I have your attention
please.

Now don't forget you guys
need a warrant

before you go outfitting your
perp's car with a GPS tracker.

Anyone have any questions?

Captain.

Yes, Rydert.

How many did Ridgewood get?

18 surveillance cameras
and 12 GPS trackers.

Are these strictly
for narcotics captain?

Everyone meet Vic Monroe,
Rydert's new partner.

Morning.Welcome.

And the equipment is for anyone
who needs it and clears it with me.

I'll be in my office.

Alright, that's all folks.

Smoke? Oh, no thank you.
I haven't touched one of those

since my daughter was
about that size.

Cop with no vices, huh?

Gum.

I chew gum.
Sometimes I like to crack it.

Ooh, you're a dangerous girl.

Ah well.

How long you been in Ridgewood?

Um, 12 years.

I moved here so I could afford
to buy a house.

Couldn't see raising my little girl in
a one-bedroom apartment in Portland.

That's where you're from,
Portland?

Yeah, Forest Grove.

Used to be a small town,

and then Portland gobbled it
all up.

Why'd you leave Seattle?

I had my fill of big cities.

I grew up in a small town,
like this in the Midwest.

Friend of mine invited me
out to visit him here.

Ridgewood felt like home.

Never been married?

Nope. No?

No, I never saw a reason.

No kids.

Alright.

Sergeant Rydert!
Look, I got a new bike!

Hey, great! Keep your
hand on the bike, Brooks.

You know everybody around here?

No, just most of them.

Keep them moving, everybody.

Keep them moving. That's it.

Here, let me help you.

Lean back, that's it.

Good.

Light slip and let your legs
slide up.

Okay, keep moving.

That's good, good.

Now try it on your own.

Thought you'd given up.

I would if my Mom would let me.

Well, we just started.

Come on, you better
follow me now,

or he's going to have my hyde
for leaving the group.

Thanks for waiting.

I could have called to say
it was going over time

if Mom would let me
have a cell phone.

No problem.

So let me get this straight.

You sat beside

while you let some fat
lady lay on Josh's hand?

I didn't let her, Tina.

I can't float.

Not if you don't get
in the water.

It's not like I don't try.

I do.

Did I say a word?

Anything?

You're good.

Did your Mom get an Avon lady?

See ya.

Bye.

Excuse me!
Are you lost or something?

No, I'm looking for
Jane Rydert's house?

That's her house right there.

I'm Emily. Her daughter.

You're much prettier than Jane.

Thanks, I guess.

I'm Cassidy.

Emily.

Oh, I said that already,
didn't I?

Come on in!

Mom? Someone's here to see you.

Okay, be right there!

Cass.

Hello Janie.

What are you doing here?

I was discharged this morning.

I've been in the hospital.

Oh.

Well, you're just full
of surprises.

I had no idea you were
getting out.

I need a place to stay
for a few days,

just until I get set up.

Wow, it's so private here.

Could do anything you want
and no one would ever know.

Everybody watches everything
you do at the hospital.

Am I welcome, Janie?

Of course.

Um.

We have a pullout couch
in the storage room,

I'll show you. Come on.

Aren't you going to introduce
me to your family?

Um. Of course.

I...

This is Phil Martin, my fiancé.

And well, you've met Emily.

This is Cassidy,
my older sister.

Pleased to make
your acquaintance.

Phil.

You said your older sister died

in a car crash.

Okay, um.

You can put your things in here

and I'll go get you some towels
and linens.

Sorry.

Um, I'll just put these here.

You can make your bed
when you're ready.

So what are your plans?

Plans?

Yes. Plans.
Like, now that you're out.

I don't know. Maybe I'll
stay here for a little while

and become better acquainted
with Phil and Emily.

Um.

Unfortunately I don't think

that's going to work, Cass.

Hmm. That's too bad.

I'll let you know
when dinner's ready.

I thought your sister lived in a
long-term psychiatric facility.

She does. I don't know
what she's doing here.

Why are your whispering
out here?

Um, we're just trying
to figure out

if we have enough dinner
for everyone.

I really appreciate not
being treated like a child.

I'm sorry, love.
It's complicated.

Uncomplicate it for me then.

Why did you tell me
your sister was dead?

Is it because she was
in a hospital?

Look, this is not the time or the
place to talk about this, okay?

Whatever. I'll be in my room.

Really?

You guys haven't even
talked in years?

Well, we didn't come from the

generation of online chatters

and Cass's hospital
was in Oregon.

Long distance used
to be very expensive.

Isn't that right, Phil?

Well, I mean before
all the competition.

Long distance wasn't cheap.

No, my father always thought
of the phone

as a tool for emergencies
or necessary information.

Definitely not device
for chitchat.

They're being polite Emily.

It's okay. It's all water
under the bridge, now.

Mmm. This meatloaf is delicious.

You make this yourself, sis?

Um, no.

Phil does most of the cooking
around here.

I would love a man like you.

Um, I am back in school
this year

and I get home earlier
than Jane.

I agree with Aunt Cassidy.

This meatloaf is awesome, Phil.

You can just call me Cassidy,
hun.

Aunt anything makes
me feel ancient.

Which one of us
you think looks older?

I think you're both beautiful.

Well, a toast to Janie for
raising such a smart girl.

Hear hear.

So Phil, why don't
you tell Cassidy

about what you're doing
in school?

I'm getting my law degree.
Used to be a court officer.

Got tired of spending
my days with criminals

and crazy people.

Well, as a lawyer I'll be able to pick
and choose who I spend my time with

and I am very much
looking forward to that.

Well, who's ready for some
of my chocolate cake?

I know I am.Yes.

It's really good. Mmmm.

So what was that all about?
You agitated her.

By talking about my career?
It doesn't take much.

I know she's your sister and bipolar and
everything but is she okay to be here?

What did the doctor say
in the phone conversation?

They left the office by the time

I called so, shh, she's coming.

Hey Cass.

Don't worry about that,
you must be exhausted.

Oh.

Oh, you have a chess board.

You play Emily?

Sometimes. With my Mom.

I'll play a game
with you Cassidy.

Emily has homework to do, Cass.

No. I finished it at lunch.

Our father taught Janie and I
how to play chess.

He always said... Chess sharpens the mind?

I don't remember my Grandpa but
my Mom says the same thing.

What colour do you like?

I usually play white
with my Mom.

I like black.

Jane?

Jane?

You kinda spaced out there
a little bit.

I'm sorry Phil.

What are you doing in here?

Just getting a glass of water.

I left a bottle in your room.

Oh, I didn't see it.

Is there anything else
I can get you?

No.

Sweet dreams, Janie.

There's been a homicide!

Yes, I'm the one that
found them.

Rydert. Officer Jane Rydert.

No, I think
she's still breathing.

Yes, I'll wait here.

Jane?

Hey. Any particular reason why
you slept down here last night?

Yes.

Cass was in the kitchen
last night.

So? Maybe she was hungry.

Shhh. Keep your voice down.

She's not here.

She left at the crack of dawn.

Said she had some things
to take care of.

Any reason why you put
the armchair over here?

Yes. So I could see the room.

Are you alright Jane? Yes, I'm fine Phil.

Something just doesn't jive.

I've had regular phone calls

with her psychiatrist for years
and never once did Dr. Gershman

indicate discharging her
was a possibility.

I remember specifically
discussing her mood swings

and memory lapses
on our last call.

She's had a fair bit of shock
treatment and memory loss is common.

Well, that's a big improvement.
Amnesia.

No, most of their
memories return.

Except for the days
and weeks leading up

to their first treatment
which often stays lost.

Cass doesn't have a clue
what happened

the entire two weeks
before hers.

I gotta get moving, I have an
appointment at Cass' hospital.

Then who would have authorized
my sister's discharge?

I did.

At the recommendation

of our hospital's
psychiatric review board.

Well Dr. Schwarztien,

my sister hasn't
been well enough

to leave this hospital
for 15 years.

Dr. Gershman must have
informed you.

Dr. Gershman's retirement wasn't
anticipated. He had a stroke.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that.

Yes, it was almost completely
debilitating.

Just a moment.

Um. Ah here we go. "Now, it is the
unanimous opinion of this review board

"that Cassidy Laurel Rydert
presents no further threat

"to herself, her family
or the general public.

"It's recommended that she be
reintegrated into society"

"at the earliest available
opportunity."

This was six and a half
weeks ago.

No disrespect Dr. Schwarztien.

Have you read my sister's file?

Sergeant, I'll admit I am still
playing catch up.

Dr. Gershman, he was
with this hospital

for over 33 years and his

caseload was massive.
But you can rest assured,

I have reviewed every single
one his files.

Now, it's true, Cassidy
has had her difficulties.

But she is responding well
to this new medication.

Provided she continues with it,

I am confident her issues can

be maintained as an outpatient.

So, that's it.

You know, this re-entry period,

it can be challenging
for families.

Here we go.

Your sister is ready
to re-enter society.

I hope you're right, Doctor.

You crack me up, Em.

Bonus, Mr. Hottie's here!

Oh, no! What do I say?

How about, "Take me! I'm yours!"

Shut up! He'll hear you!

Hear what?

W'sup Emily?

Hi!

I thought you graduated?

Last June.

One of my old teachers invited
me in to give his art class

a kick in the butt.

Inspirational speech, wake up,

sky's the limit, paint the moon.

So. Emily.

What's it going to take
to get you in that pool?

You know, you're making me
look bad.

It's bad for my rep
when one of my students

won't trust me to get
her toes wet.

My boss has been asking.

I've been telling her that
for weeks.

I'll try harder.

Next lesson.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Next lesson.

He's so into you!

Really?

You think he likes me?

Oh no, he wants
to hook up with me

but he can't unglue
his eyeballs from you.

Hi.

Emily.

Tina, this is my Mom's sister
I was telling you about.

Cassidy.

Hey.Hello.

Are you coming from somewhere?

No, just out for a walk.

You?

This is the way we always
walk home.

My school's back there.

Well, we gotta go.

Enjoy your walk, Cassidy.

She does seem kinda weird.

I know, right?

Just gotta make a quick stop,
Vic.

Girls like a ride home?

Seriously? In that?

Mom? What's wrong?

Nothing! Yes or no?

You're working, aren't you?

Hop in if you're coming.

Hey, Em. I almost forgot.

Awesome!

Sweet! Thanks!

What happened to 'unnecessary
teenage excess'?

Well, you're a 15 year old
girl walking home after dark.

You need a phone.

Well don't get too excited.

It's just for emergencies, okay?

Put your number in. Yeah.

Bye! Thanks for the ride!

Love you!

Love you too!

Drive your kid home often?

In the vehicle? No.

Rarely if ever.

Oh.

I didn't see you come in.

No, well you were reading,
I didn't want to disturb you.

You looking for something?

No. I um, I just took
a wrong turn.

You're down there.

Oh.

I didn't see you there.

I came to see your room.

Yeah. It's cozy.

That's for my behavioral
therapy.

To desensitize me.

I've been afraid of water
as long as I can remember.

I don't know why.

I have a fear of drowning.

Does it work?

Yeah, sorta. I guess.

Don't you like to swim?

Uh uh.

Not at all?

I can't swim.

I used to be scared
of these pictures.

Why were you in the hospital?

I had a breakdown.

Was it hard to get through it?

I bought you something.

My nirvana.

I don't 'really have
a CD player either?

I just use this and
it doesn't play CD's.

What's happening here?

Why are you home so early?

Uh...

quiet night.

Mom, look!

Cassidy got me a present.

Have you ever heard
of My nirvana?

Where'd you get
the money for this?

Doctor Schwarztien helped me
re-access my bank accounts.

They do that when
they discharge patients.

Well, um I'll keep it in my car.

Our CD player in there
still works.

Why did you have to take it
from me?

Well you can't play this
on your tablet.

Emily.

I cut my sister out of my life
for a good reason.

What good reason?

Cassidy is mentally unstable.

Like me.

No! Not like you.

Why would you say such a thing?

You're aqua-phobic.
You'll overcome that.

She has much more
serious issues.

What are her issues?

She's horribly impulsive

and she hurts the people
she's supposed to love.

Is that why you told me
she died in the car accident

with my Dad?

Yeah.

What are you writing about?

School stuff.

Doodles.

Why are there hearts
all over this paper?

Because that's all I know
how to draw.

You may just learn to swim
after all!

Just making myself something
to eat.

Can I get you anything?

I'm taking her with me Janie.

Don't be ridiculous.

Something wrong? No.

Where's Emily's photo?

Your sister was in here earlier.

But I doubt she would scoop up
Em's photo without asking.

What was Cassidy doing in here?

She got lost, apparently.

Try to relax.

I can't.

Try to get some sleep.

You ready for coffee?

I have honey oats and
wheat squares cereal.

Oh, um, a few of these
look really decent.

Okay. I'll pour your cereal.

You and I both know that Emily
is better off here.

You're not equipped
to take that on.

Teenagers are a lot of work.

If you want, I'll actually
come and look at

some of those apartments
with you later.

Um.

Do you have to do this now?

I'm studying for my midterms.

Oh I'm done.

Em suddenly decided
to lock her door?

Well you know teenagers. They like
to have their privacy respected.

Did you get any sleep?

I have to run.

I'll see you tonight.

Cass. What are you doing here?

Decided to take you up
on your offer.

To look at apartments together?

I'm at work.

We can talk about

that tonight. Go home.

Didn't mean to embarrass you.

Nice to have met you.

Sorry, Vic.
My sister is staying with me

and she gets a bit
over enthusiastic.

Seems enthusiastic.

Walked right in, started
asking me and everybody

where does Jane Rydert sit and
Captain asked me to take her outside.

I'm sorry. I hope she
didn't talk your ear off.

No, no just chatty.

She seems uh, attractive.

She single?

Trust me, you don't want
to go there.

No? No.

What's wrong? Where's Emily?

What is that?

It's a baby monitor.

I know what it is.
Why is it here?

So I can hear if Emily has a
nightmare before she panics.

It was collecting dust up
in the attic.

You actually think
that we're going to sleep

with this here every night?

Well, millions
of parents do, Phil.

Yeah. For their babies.

Listen. Enough already, Jane.

I want the truth, Jane.

What am I looking at here?

Cass isn't bipolar, Phil.

She has what's called a
borderline personality.

Her sense of herself is
distorted and unstable.

Her emotions turn on a dime.

She overreacts sometimes
to happiness or sadness

or frustration.

You're telling me your sister
did all this?

Oh my god.

Who is this guy?

Her husband, Brian.

He was at the academy with me
and he was a good cop.

A good husband.

He was bathing their
three month old baby.

And she just snapped?

She said she was tired
of being a mother.

A wife.

The doctor at the trial,

said that she was in
postpartum psychosis.

She looks dead.

Yeah, she's lucky she missed
her heart.

Please tell me she didn't shoot
her baby.

Emily is Cassidy's daughter,
Phil.

Brian let go of her
when Cassidy shot him

and she slipped into the water.

She would have drowned
if I wasn't there.

I don't even know
where to start.

My Mom was afraid of Cass.

I could see it in her eyes
when she was around her.

So it made me afraid.

My father couldn't see it.

Cass is spunkier than Jane,
he'd tell Mom.

You know I'm gonna find
you Janie.

Cassidy's mood swung
from over-ecstatic joy

to angry outbursts when she
didn't get what she wanted.

And what she wanted was
anything that was mine.

My mother gave me a doll
for my birthday.

Cass didn't understand
why she didn't get one.

It's my doll! No!

Give me it!

Serves you right for not giving
her to me in the first place.

If I tattled on her she promised to tell
the kids at school that I wet my bed.

Or burn down our farmhouse
with me and my Mom inside.

So at 18 I escaped
to the police academy.

But she found me.

Hey Jane. Jane Rydert.

Hey! Brian! Hi!

I want to introduce you
to my new wife.

We just had a baby!

Surprise! Cass!

What are the chances huh? Girl of my
dreams turns out to be your sister?

I mean, right?

I missed you, Janie. Missed you.

Cass was softer and not so erratic
and mean. She had just had Emily.

Motherhood seems
to agree with you.

Oh I love being a new Mommy.

And wife.

Yes you do.

You need to try it, Janie.

Yeah.

I decided to forgive my sister,

so we started hanging
out together.

I'd go for dinner with them
once a week,

and I'd babysit Emily if
they wanted a night out.

I learned that Cass'
nicer personality

was due to medication,
but it didn't last.

Brian said it was like
somebody had flipped a switch

and the girl he married
was gone.

Cass' doctor told him
Cass was suffering

from postpartum depression and
prescribed anti-depressants.

But I recognized my sister.

Cass, I think you've had enough.

Just get over it.

Brian.

Why don't you take Emily
for a bath?

Yeah.

Hey come and see daddy.

There she is.

Go easy, huh?

Come on.

God, I hate it
when he gets like this.

Like what?

All dewy-eyed with concern

and responsibility,

like he's husband
or father of the year.

Brian's mad that I stopped
breastfeeding.

I want my body back.

Maybe they'll both go
down the drain.

Oh what, Jane?

Don't give me that look.

They have strangled the life
out of me.

Do you understand that?

You're drunk.

You know you shouldn't
be drinking

with the medication
that you're taking.

Just go to hell, Jane.

I've been too ashamed
to tell anyone.

She almost drowned.

And that's why
she has nightmares.

She was 3 years old when she
told me about the first one.

And I was afraid to tell her

because I thought she'd think
she inherited what Cass has.

Oh, come here.

Cassidy wants her back, Phil.

What if she gets tired
of her again?

Look, look Jane!

Oh, you're still awake!

I can't sleep.

Did you see the lock
on the door?

Oh, yeah.

Phil said you wanted me
to use it but I forgot.

Yeah, there's been several
break-ins in the neighbourhood.

Nothing to be alarmed about
just makes us one step safer

in case someone tries
to get in the house.

We're putting a lock
on ours too.

Oh and that key is
for the outside lock

and you can put it on your
house-key on that okay?

I'll lock it once you go.

Oh and one more thing.

Check in with me more during
the day, alright?

You don't have to wait
for me to call you.

I will pay the bill.

Okay.

Goodnight, sweetie.Night.

Shhh.

I heard you from my room.
You were having a nightmare.

How did you get in my room?

I locked my door.

I know.

I tried that first.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I scare easily.

I'm sorry I couldn't play
your CD.

It wasn't the right gift.

Why does my Mom say
you've hurt people?

She blames me for things
that weren't my fault.

How did you know what it was?

Your breakdown?

What did it feel like?

What do you see
in your nightmares?

It's always the same one.

I'm in a lake or pond,
I don't know which.

But I'm under water,
I can't breathe.

There's this horrible
roaring sound.

Somebody's whistling.

I can see the surface

and I know I should go
up there but I can't.

I think my head's too heavy.

I wake up before I drown.

I can make your nightmares
go away.

You can?

But you have to trust me.

Get some sleep, okay?

Oh! It's a beautiful day;

you should get out
and get some fresh air!

Hello? Good morning!

Well, it's hard to believe
we have to put steel bars

on our windows in
this neighbourhood.

Jane, can you help me
with this please?

I don't even know why I have
to wear one of these things.

Why are you doing this?

Because Cass won't
leave Emily alone.

She snuck in her window
last night.

Jane, you're really starting
to worry me.

Have you tried to talk to her
about this?

How much is all this costing?

I don't care.
It's keeping Emily safe.

Damn.

I'm late for my appointment
at the university.

Okay.

Go.

Alright I'll see you tonight.

That's it!

I know you can do this, Emily.

You're doing great, Emily.

Come on, Emily. You can do it.

Emily.

Emily look at me.

You can do this. Just take
one more step Emily. Please.

One step.

Emily!

Emily!

Emily, put your feet down!

Emily!!!

I got ya, I got ya.

You're alright. You're alright.

You okay?

Sorry I'm such a nutcase.

You shouldn't say stuff
like that.

It reinforces a negative image
of yourself.

You weren't ready
and I pushed you.

He wouldn't let me help you
any sooner.

It's okay.

I understand.

I'll run my own classes
next year.

Do you take a lot
of those sedatives?

Only when I have to.

Thanks for walking me home,
Josh.

Really. Thanks for letting me.

I really hope you come back.

I have a cell phone now.

You should call and remind me.

Cool.

So what happened?

I held hands with him!

Get out! Oh, my God!

Don't leave out any details!
Tell me everything.

Uh. Hang on, Tina.

Hi!

Do you need something?

Will you go for a walk with me?

Now?

Tina, I'll call you later.

I thought you didn't smoke.

You know, I'm a pretty
good listener.

Would be better than doing that.

It's a stressful situation.

She stays, I worry about Emily.

If she finds her own place, I
worry about the rest of Ridgewood.

She's not that bad.
I mean, she's a little odd.

But pleasant enough.

Maybe those doctors
know more than you think.

I mean 15 years is a lot
of therapy.

Yeah.

Well you and I both know
the stats, Vic.

75 percent of mentally
disordered prison transfers

are rearrested within 5 years.

Yeah.

Thanks for the coffee.

How am I doing?

You're walking on water.

It's not terrible
if I don't look.

Why didn't you want me
to tell Phil we were going?

I didn't want him to stop us.

Yeah.

My Mom's been acting
so weird since you came.

This bridge is beautiful.

I've always been afraid of it.

People have driven off
this bridge in the past.

They don't see the reversible
lane meter change.

Suddenly all this traffic's
coming straight at them.

A boy from my high school
rode his bike off here.

They said he did it because
he was failing school

and didn't want his
parents finding out.

Emily.

You ever think about suicide?

No.

Maybe once in awhile.

Tina's mom says lots of
teenagers think about it.

She says we don't have
the life experience

to tell us things
can get better.

Have you ever thought about it?

In the hospital.

I think it would be like going
to sleep.

All your problems
would just float away.

I'm with you, I think
it's overkill.

I mean, you need a ladder
to get up here already.

Why is she doing this?
I asked Tina's Mom

and she said she's too young for menopause.
It's freaking me out.

Hi.

Um, I got you something,

as a thank you for letting me
stay here.

Hope you like it as much
as chocolate cake.

Yeah, that's very kind Cassidy.

Got myself this purse

down at the second-hand
store downtown.

It's nice.

Would you mind giving
this to Janie?

I had it framed for her.

Think she can put it
on her nightstand.

It's us, on our farm.

I'll give it to her.

Were you on the bridge today?

It's a simple question.

Why do I feel like I'm being
interrogated then?

And what's with those steel
bars on the windows?

For security.

It's like you're turning into
one of those crazy preppers.

And how did you know
I was on the bridge?

Because I drove by
and I saw you.

Cassidy invited me out
for a walk.

She's helping me get used
to water.

I walked across the bridge, Mom.

That's wonderful!

Emily, I know you like Cassidy.

It's just.

She's not capable of giving you
the relationship you're hoping for

and I don't want to see you get
hurt by her.

Okay?

Wait Daddy! Wait!

Wait!

Go home, Janie.

Daddy, stop!

I'm telling on you! No you're not!

You pulled the head off
my doll on purpose!

Did not! Dad won't believe you!

Dad! Cassidy made Mom fall so
she could see you shoot him!

No!

You okay to drive?

I'm fine.

I just need another cup
of coffee.

Oh gosh.

Woah woah woah.
Watch out! Watch out!!!

Stop the car!

You can kill yourself
on your own time

but you are not taking me
with you.

Cassidy likes my Mom
but Mom doesn't trust her

because she was mean
when they were kids

and now Mom can't get over it.

I thought my little brother
held a grudge.

Like they can be over it
in whatever, 5 or 10 years.

Speak of the devil.

Hi! Where are you going?

I've got a plan for us!

But I gotta be quick
or its gonna close.

She's actually nice.

Strange, but in a nice way.

You coming in?

Ok.

Sir. You reporting?

Yes sir. Is that a fact?

Rydert.

In my office.

Something's obviously bothering
you, Jane.

I'd let it go,

but it's affecting
your judgement now.

You've been ducking out early,
not handing in reports,

distracted on duty.

The other day a woman
called in a report.

She saw you picking
up your daughter

and her girlfriend in your vehicle.
Oh, well I can explain that.

We were... Listen. Gossiping's
a national pastime

and this department
is a prime target.

You know that.
Ridgewood is a small town.

Whatever it is, go fix it.

Dr. Kim McMaster?

The department psychotherapist.

Look, Captain, I don't
need a shrink.

My sister's staying... Like I
said, I'm not the one to talk to.

That's an order, Sergeant.

Can I help you?

Yeah.

I'm looking for a place to go

camping with my daughter.

Maybe something
with a lake. Private.

Storm Lake's quiet this time
of year.

Nobody's up there yet.

Picnic tables and fire pits
are all out though.

Is it far?

Well you want to go off
the No. 5 about 40 miles.

Get off at the south entrance.

The north end isn't safe.

Undercurrents.

Undercurrents? Yes ma'am.

They're unpredictable.
The north end of the lake

isn't safe for swimming
this time of the year.

You'll be fine everywhere
else though.

That sounds perfect.

You've reached Emily Rydert. Please
leave a message or call me back.

Emily, it's Mom.
Thank you for your message.

Thanks for checking in.

It was late getting out
of there. How'd it go?

Doctor thinks I'm projecting my
fear of losing Emily on Cass.

How were your exams today?

Good, I think.

Was Cass at the house
when you left?

No. She had a driver's exam
to get her license restored.

Oh, which reminds me.

I meant to give you this
last night.

She said she had it made
for you.

Sweet, huh?

She gave me a chocolate bar.

She's trying to drive a wedge
between us, Phil.

Jane, it's a photo.

To say thank you
for letting her stay.

She needs you and Emily
on her side

for whatever she's planning.

What do you feel like eating?

Sushi? Italian? Greek?

You don't believe
what I told you.

I do believe you.
What if she's getting better?

Postpartum depression
isn't permanent.

What about when I was a kid?

Listen. Em's getting older.

She's about to go away
to college.

You can't protect her forever.
What are you saying?

I'm saying you've raised her,
nothing's going to change that.

Even if she has to live

with her biological
mother for a while.

Yeah but Cassidy doesn't Emily.

It's a game and if she wins,
Emily's disposable.

You want me to make you
a sandwich?

I've never seen you
pay attention to those.

Oh, yeah.

Oh I am so hungry.

Thank you.

Wasn't necessary but thank you
for the photo of the two of us.

And you can keep the school
photo of Emily.

I'll just have another one made
for me.

I have something for you.

It's not exactly an olive
branch, but uh...

It's not real gold.
Sorry about that.

See you tonight, okay?

Rydert! In here.

Hi.

Your gun and your badge,
Sergeant.

You're on medical leave,
effective immediately.

Medical leave? Why?

I went to see Kim McMaster
just like you said.

You used a GPS tracker to keep tabs
on a civilian without a warrant.

You used audio-visual
surveillance equipment

to spy on that same civilian
in your house.

We're lucky your sister
doesn't want to lodge

an official complaint.

Now that is the only reason

I'm not suspending you.

Apart from the fact GPS
tracking a private citizen

violates the 4th amendment.

And intercepting
audio communication

is a 3rd degree felony.
You were not authorized by me

to use any of these
surveillance devices.

I was going to bring them back.

Jane.

I like you.

I know you're having
personal problems.

But you have no use to me
in your present condition.

Take the leave.

Keys to the vehicle.

Monroe, get in here.
I can take myself home.

Where you going? Cassidy's
coming to get me.

We're going camping.

And you weren't going
to tell me?

I knew you wouldn't let me go.

Well I'm definitely
not letting you go, now.

Give it back. It's not yours.

No, you listen to me, Emily.

Cassidy is not
who you think she is.

She cannot manage
for an entire weekend.

I don't believe you.

She's rented a car,
picked out our campsite,

bought food and everything.

I am forbidding you to go.

You can't.

I'm 15 and I have a right

to go camping with my aunt.

I like being with Cassidy.

She treats me like an adult.

You ready?

You are not taking that child

out into the woods unsupervised.

It looks to me like I am,
Jane. No, you're not!!

Emily listen to me. No, I'm going.

Emily!!!!!!!

Emily please. Open the door.

No, I'm going. Stop!

Emily!

Oh come on. Come on.

Oh, hey.

Just came by to make sure
you got home.

It's not a very good time
right now, Vic.

Understood.

Uh.

On second thought.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Yeah sure.
That'd be great, thanks.

Phil's working on
his midterm today

and I was wondering
if you wouldn't mind

taking a look at the master

bedroom faucet.
It's been dripping.

Yeah sure, I'll look at it.
Great, thank you.

Thanks for the coffee.

Yeah.

Down the hall?

Yeah, just to the left.
Thank you!

Jane!

Jane!!

Is it nice where we're going?

Wow, the freeways are
a lot busier now.

Come on, come on! Come on.

Jane. Jane where hell
are you going.

She took Emily, Vic.

You too my 9mm.

Self protection.

You turn around and you bring

back that cruiser
or I am calling it in, Jane.

Vic, do what you have to do,

okay. I'm going to get Emily.

My car is not fast enough.

Jane.

Jane!

Jane!!

I need a backup to 3076 Dollar.

Come with me. I need your help.
Come on.

See that bag in the back seat?

Look inside it.

There's water where we're going?

We're going in
the water together...

slowly.

Want your nightmares to go away?

Alright.
This is where we get out.

Why don't you have a travel bag?

Emily.

You need to trust me.
This will all be over soon.

Shh.

Mom?

Mom? What's going on?

Why is your gun out? Mom.

Mom! She's trying to kill you!

She said she wouldn't hurt me!
Emily. Look around!

Why do you think she brought
you to such an isolated place?

I brought you here so we could

go in the water together.
Emily, I would never hurt you.

Emily, I'm your mother.

No.

I'm your mother.

I'm the one that raised you
from the time you were a baby

and put band aids
on your scraped knees.

She couldn't take care of you. That's
why they took you away from her.

Don't listen to her Emily!

She was jealous because
your father loved me! Not her!

Tell her what happened
that night, Jane.

Tell her what happened!

Mom! What happened?

Mom!! What happened!!

Well, I think I will take
Emily for her bath

and give you girls
a chance to catch up.

And uh, cheer up, okay?

Your sister's here.

And slow down with the wine.

You shouldn't be drinking
on those pills.

There we are.

Say bye to mommy.

I love you, baby.

Oh. This is so hard.

I've barely slept
since she was born.

I don't know how
to be a good wife

and mother every day.

You know what,
spare me the self-pity.

You have a husband that
adores you, and a baby.

What do I have?

I wish I could share them
with you.

And make you happy, Janie.

I don't want your charity.

Don't you understand?

How can you complain to me?
You always got everything.

I'm feeling dizzy.

Go to hell, Cass.

I think Brian's right, I drank
too much of this wine.

Will you be okay out here alone

if I just go lay down
for a little bit?

Just go.

Go to hell, Cass!

Emily she's mixing it all up.

I'm the one who saved your life.

Tell her the truth, Jane.

Tell our daughter the truth!

Janie?

No!

For god's sake! You're sisters!

Mom!

No!!!!!! Stop!

Stop!!

No!

You took away the one thing that
mattered to me after Mom died.

Janie. Blackie slipped.

It was an accident!

He broke his leg

and we couldn't fix it!
Why can't you believe that?

You didn't have to kill Brian.

Brian was supposed to love me.

I wouldn't have had to do this

if you had just stayed out of my

life like you were supposed to.

This time I'm not going
to miss your heart.

Rydert!

Drop the weapon!

Easy.

Put it down now!

It's over.

I wouldn't have had to do this

if you had just stayed out of my
life like you were supposed to.

"This time I'm not going
to miss your heart."

Cassidy's doctors contacted
the Portland police

after her memory came back.

They tracked you down here. I was
brought in from the West Division

to help your sister
get a confession.

The name's Harcroft, Jane.
Detective Harcroft.

No. No. Jane.

No.

You have people here

who love you.
People who can help you.

I love you, Mom.

Hey.

We're gonna get through
this, okay?

Come here.

Come here.

Can Janie try riding Blackie,
Daddy?

She's not too young.

Woah.

I thought I told you to stay

inside the house, Janie.

Go on, Janie.

You hear me talking, girl?

Look, your sister's too small,
okay?

She can't be alone out here with
nobody watching her, alright?

Come on.

You think you're so perfect,
Cass?

Watch what I'm doing
to your baby.

I love my little sister, too.

It's okay.

Shhh.

I love you, Janie.

Smile!
