a very painful time for you.

Yes, it was.

How did your mother take it?
Yes, it was.

She was jealous, because
Daddy couldn't stand to touch her.

So she sent me away to boarding school.
I begged her not to but

what Mother wants, Mother gets.

I survived.

But still. Must be hard facing that kind
of rejection from your own daughter.

What do you mean?

Emily came out of her coma
a few hours ago.

She told us everything.

But first you and I have a couple of details
we need to straighten out.

What details?

- Let's start with the hairbrush.
- It's Justin's.

Yes, but we got a partial print...

- and with Emily's testimony...
- Emily's a liar.

- Now why would she lie?
- Her father poisoned her against me.

It's been very painful, very hurtful.

I know, Jamie.

Been carrying the pain long enough.

Just tell me your side of the story

and you can start to heal.

We were driving home and
she wouldn't stop crying

so I pulled over to try and talk to her.

But when she told me she and her daddy
were leaving me forever...

I pulled her out of the car and
she hit her head on the curb.

- How?
- She fell.

I didn't shove her hard.

I just wanted her to stop whining...

It was the first time
she was quiet all day.

And she was sleepy.

So when I got home, I put her to bed and
Michael and I went to the drugstore.

It was like she was doing it to spite me.

Is that why you used the hairbrush?

I had to teach her discipline.

I threw her against the wall.

Then what?

She finally stopped.

And then I tucked her into bed
kissed her on her cheek,

and then I told her I loved her.

Was that too much to ask?

It's good work, John.

Took a chance with that bluff about Emily
coming out of her coma.

I'm not sure what we would have done
if Jamie had pressed to see her.

She didn't care about the kids.

How did you know?

We searched her house...

I looked at that four-year-old...

across the street from us

in our old neighborhood
on the Lower East Side.

She had that same look in her eyes.

What look?

Sad, lost.

She used to stand on her porch every

Like she was waiting for me.

But I was too full of my own teenage crap
to pay any attention.

One day, I came home...

she wasn't there.

Found out her mother threw her through
a plate glass window.

Went to the funeral.

Saw her dad.

It's the first time I saw a grown man cry.

What happened to her mother?

They sent her to a sanitarium.

Months later, I'd come home...

and I'd look up at the porch.

I swear, I saw that little girl standing there,
looking at me with that look.

I almost let her down again.

your enemies prowl"
