My Nanny Stole My Life (2024)

[bunniefuu]

[baby wailing]

[tense music]

[baby wailing]

[baby wailing]

Emma! Emma! Emma!

[distorted]

Stop!

No! Emma!

Emma!

Honey?

It's the baby!

[mysterious music]

I thought I was done with this.

Is it the same dream?

It's okay. It's okay.

What if it's not?

Honey, you're probably

just stressed

about going back to work.

Yeah.

Come on, let's go back to bed.

- Okay.

[sad music]

I just feel like something

terrible is going to happen.

[dramatic music]

I really don't understand.

I feel like since we got

the meds worked out

the nightmares would go away.

You're a parent now, Molly.

Your fears about Emma's safety

will never totally disappear

But it's not the same

as your postpartum being back.

Do you agree?

- Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

The thoughts

of going back to work

may be bringing up

some added anxiety.

Speaking of which...

any progress on the nanny front?

We have a couple more

interviews this weekend.

I just...

I haven't felt comfortable

with any of the applicants.

Have you tried

the Postpartum Forum?

If anyone would know

where to look,

it'd be one of those ladies.

[uplifting music]

"Hi MollyM.

I had a wonderful nanny

"who helped me

during my postpartum depression.

"She totally put me on

the road to recovery.

"I can send her resume."

Yes, NewMom, please do!

So you got

this woman's information

from your postpartum forum?

Yeah. One of the women

raved about her.

But who is she, though?

I mean, she's just a random

woman from your message board.

These women helped me through

the hardest time in my life.

I trust them. Besides,

we'll check her references.

[gentle music]

I'm sorry, Nicci, not to

offend you or anything,

but do you have a lot

of nanny experience?

Yes, I was with baby Aurora

for almost a year.

And then two years before that

I was in nursing school.

I brought my resume.

Oh, I've already studied

it top to bottom.

An online

acquaintance sent it over.

Must have been Aurora's mom.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, no,

she's a wonderful mother.

I really miss her little one.

C'mon Emma. C'mon, Emma.

Please eat something.

Can I try?

Um, yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Okay, okay.

It's yum-yum time.

What's this? What is this?

[cartoon sound effects playing]

Okay, ready?

Oh, good girl.

That was fantastic.

It just, you know, really helps

to distract them sometimes

if they won't take the bottle.

Well, it looks like you have

great references.

But we'll have to

check them out, of course.

Yeah, of course.

You can't be too careful.

Nicci, thank you,

again, for coming.

Oh, thank you so much

for having me.

It was really great to meet you.

Yeah, thanks. Bye.

She was great, right?

- Mm-hm.

I mean, we can interview

anyone else you want.

But if she checks out,

I say we go for it.

Yeah, yeah.

What's wrong?

I don't know... I just...

I feel like

this whole thing is a mistake.

This was your idea.

- Yeah, I know.

Yeah, but maybe it's too soon

to go back to work.

Or maybe it's gonna be great.

Come on, let's give it a shot.

We deserve that much.

- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[tense music]

[knocking]

Okay, okay.

Hi.

- Hi. Come on in.

[Emma crying]

You're okay, you're okay.

Okay. You're okay.

Someone doesn't want

to go down for their nap.

Aww, poor baby. Oh.

I brought you this.

For the nursery.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Where'd you get it?

I made it.

- Oh.

I had one hanging over

my baby's crib.

The last baby I nannied for.

She loved it.

Here. Let's get her down.

[Emma whining]

This is darling.

- Thanks.

Oh, what is it, honey?

I changed you, and I fed you.

What else do you need?

Can I try?

- Oh, yeah.

Oh, I love your necklace.

- Oh, thanks, me too!

Noah gave it to me

on our first anniversary.

Oh, wow. I love it.

Okay, baby,

we're just gonna go like this.

Sorry, she's been

really fussy lately.

Woosh!

That was magical.

Um, yeah,

it's called "the hold."

I can teach it to you guys

if you want.

I definitely...

I need to learn that!

We need to learn that, yes.

Honey, why don't you

go back to sleep.

You look like you could use it.

That's not...

that's not what I meant at all.

What I meant

is since Nicci's here,

maybe you could relax a little.

NICCI: I've got it.

- Yeah.

Emma will still be here

when you wake up.

Okay. Maybe for a few minutes.

So, is it named after, like,

the sleeper hold?

[door creaking]

[dramatic music]

Oh no. Oh no. What time is it?

- No, it's okay.

It's okay, everything's fine.

I asked Nicci not to wake you.

She already fed the baby and

put her down for the night.

She did?

- Everything's taken care of.

I could go on sleeping forever.

You could, you definitely

could, or...

There's something

else we could do.

Oh yeah?

- If you're up for it.

NOAH: My dry cleaning bills

went through the roof.

NICCI: Really?

- NOAH: Yeah.

Every time I feed her

she'd cough all over me.

NICCI: Oh, that's easy

to clean up.

Good morning, sweetie,

good morning. Hi.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

- Good morning.

Morning. You want some coffee?

Yes, please.

WOMAN: Knock-knock!

Who is it?

Is that your Auntie Lindsay?

Ah! A baby!

- Say hello to Auntie Lindsay?

Hello! Aw, you're so cute.

Hello, good morning.

Hello, Noah.

- Good morning.

Sorry to pop in

I just wanted to bring you

the grout you asked for

for the guest bathroom.

Perfect. Thank you.

NOAH: I have to finish

getting ready.

Okay.

- NICCI: Hi.

Oh, Lindsay,

meet our new Nicci...

New Nicci, hi!

So sorry. Nanny, Nicci.

LINDSAY: Nanny Nicci, welcome.

Hello.

I better get Emma her breakfast.

Nicci, I can do that.

- Okay, thanks.

Oh, I have something for you.

- Oh.

Hi! Did you miss me?

You let that into your house?

[Lindsay and Molly chuckling]

So, it's a special tea

for balancing your hormones

and your chi.

Can I make you a cup?

Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.

What's a chi?

Be nice.

Sweetheart. Hi.

- Mm-hm? Oh.

What do you think of this combo?

Okay, I gotta run.

Molly, enjoy your tai-chi,

magical potion,

whatever it takes to get you

back at work.

We miss you.

- NOAH: See you later.

LINDSAY: Nicci, it was really

great meeting you.

Yeah, you too.

Coffee?

- Coffee, yes, please.

Thank you.

- NICCI: You're welcome.

Okay! All right, girl,

come here.

There we go.

Come on.

Molly! No!

- What?

I... Are you sure that's

formula?

Um, yeah, I mean...

I mean I don't even

remember opening the...

I... I couldn't have put grout

in her bottle. Could I?

Okay, honey, it's okay.

I'll just taste it.

Oh, that's oh...

That is... that's not formula.

MOLLY: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

What if I...

Um... take her?

I'm sorry.

Sweetheart, it's okay.

The important thing is that

nothing...

[baby crying]

You're okay, you're okay.

- Hey, you're okay.

[phone ringing]

NICCI: Mayes residence.

[knocking]

Molly? Rovena's just called.

They want to know if you're

still gonna make

your hair appointment later.

They said that even if you

cancel you still have to pay

for it because it's so late.

What would you like to do?

[gentle music]

Hey, honey. What a day.

Honey...

[Emma whimpering]

Ooh!

- Oh, my!

I... wow, sorry,

I thought you were Molly.

Oh, oh, yeah,

I took her hair appointment.

I'm so sorry, you look

just like her from behind.

I mean, your hair.

You don't think Molly

will mind, do you?

I just loved her cut and color

And I thought it might

work on me.

Yeah, no, I'm sure...

I'm sure she'll find it

flattering.

It suits you. Looks good on you.

Thank you.

- Looks good on her.

Is she still not feeling well?

No, she hasn't come down

all day.

I think she's still really upset

about what happened

with the bottle.

I should...

I'm gonna take her up.

I can do that. I was just about

to put her down.

No, no, no,

you've already done enough.

Let me... You go ahead

and head home.

Oh. Okay, sure.

- Thank you, Nicci.

Oh! Oh, hi!

Goodnight, Emma.

[Emma crying]

[Emma crying]

[Emma crying]

I'll go.

- Nicci. Wait.

[Emma squealing]

MOLLY: Sh, sh, sh.

Hi! Hi! Hi!

Dr. Waldron. Yes.

Thank you for getting back

to me so quickly.

Hey, honey, it's Dr. Waldron.

Oh.

Dr. Waldron. Hi...

Yes, I know...

I know it was an accident.

Yeah, but it felt like

one of my nightmares...

Yes. Yeah,

I'm still having them.

Only this time when the woman

in red steals my baby,

she's wearing my red dress.

It's almost like...

like she was me.

[tense music]

[knocking]

Molly?

I'm taking Emma to the park.

[tense music]

Hey, morning.

Hi. Your hair...

Oh, gosh, yeah, yeah,

I just, um, you know,

needed, like, a change.

It's... It's nice.

- Thank you.

I have to run out

and pick up a prescription.

Yeah. No problem.

Emma's down for her nap.

You know, the new medication

is probably going to knock me

for a loop for a little bit,

so if I'm, I don't know...

Don't worry.

There's no need

for "fasades" with me.

"Fasades"?

- Yeah. Y'know, like masks.

Take care of yourself

and I'll take care of Emma.

This is a judgment-free zone.

Thanks, I'll see you later.

[dramatic music]

LINDSAY: So, I want to

completely reinvent the space.

Transform it, so when

you walk into the building,

it's like you're transported...

- Will Molly be joining us?

Uh... yeah. Yeah.

She's... I guess she's

running late.

Because I'd love to get

her take on this.

Oh, absolutely.

She's just having a hard time

getting used to life

with a new baby.

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

- Should we reschedule?

No, I don't

want to eat up your time.

She has such great ideas,

I just thought we could...

Oh, I know! But she and I

are totally on the same page

with all this.

And I'll loop her in with

everything we discuss.

Promise. Okay?

- Okay.

Hey, Rachel!

- Molly! You're back!

Are you back? Oh, my God.

She's gotten so big already!

Listen, if you ever

need a sitter...

Is Allegra here?

- In with Lindsay.

They just started.

- Awesome, say bye.

Thanks, Rachel.

sh**t.

So, I'm seeing this whole space

as, like, a blank canvas.

Okay, I see.

Hi, sorry I'm late.

- Hey.

Oh, my God, Molly! You're here!

Moving a lot slower

than I used to.

Is this Emma?

- Yes. Come here.

Oh, my God, where have you been

all my life?

I just want to take you home...

We were just going over the

concept art for the new gallery.

Ooh! Let me see. Let me see!

I really like it, but the

building has so much character.

I feel like we're hiding it.

Okay. Well, maybe we shouldn't.

The original red brick is still

there and in pretty good shape.

We could expose it

and let all that texture

be the backdrop for the art.

ALLEGRA: Oh, yeah, I love that!

And then the columns become

like giant frames.

Exactly!

Something like that.

- ALLEGRA: Yes.

MOLLY:

Oh, I just love that brick.

I'm just kicking myself

for missing that.

All the times I've been

in that building

and I didn't even see it,

that's wild.

Thank you.

And the reclaimed wood'll be

perfect for the smaller gallery.

Ugh, you have such a good eye.

I'm jealous.

Speaking of...

No, stop it.

- For Emma.

You don't think it'll fit me?

Stop. Do you like it?

It's adorable, Lindsay!

Thank you.

Look what Auntie Lindsay

got you.

It's okay! Yeah! Oh!

I can't believe

how much better you're doing.

I should have hired

a nanny months ago.

I feel like I can finally relax.

Now that you have that special

tea to balance your chi.

Oh, yeah!

I have to post this.

So, I'm thinking I want to do

the salmon Caesar salad,

but they're so big here.

D'you want to split one with me?

[tense music]

[echoing] Molly?

You okay?

[normally] Molly... what is it?

Do you see it?

You see it, don't you?

What am I looking for?

Um...

It was... It was nothing...

I'm sorry. I have to go.

- What?

I'm really sorry.

I'll see you later, okay?

Molly! Molly!

It's not real.

[knocking]

Hey. I brought you

some more tea.

Is everything okay?

- I'm fine.

Okay, I'll just...

Look, I'm here

if you need to talk.

[tense music]

"Hallucinations can be caused

by mental illness or psychosis."

"They can also be drug-induced."

NICCI: Oh, thank you so much.

You can just go ahead

and put it right there.

No problem.

Wow, cute baby.

She looks just like you.

Oh. Really? You think so?

- Oh, yeah, definitely.

Everyone says that.

I mean, it's the eyes.

But I think she looks

more like her dad.

DELIVERY MAN: Have a good one.

[tense music]

NICCI: Ah! Look at mommy

with her baby!

Yay!

That's my sweet girl. Yes.

That's my pretty baby.

Hey! I was just about to

put Emma down for her nap.

You know what,

I thought I'd take her

on a mommy daughter date.

Oh, yeah, okay...

- What do you think about that?

Did you want more tea?

Oh, no. I...

Actually, why don't I make

a cup for the both of us?

Oh, that's really sweet of you,

but that's your special tea...

Only for the new mommy!

Thought so. Come on. Come on.

[tense music]

Oh, my God.

Two Emma sightings in one day!

Is Lindsay still here?

- Yeah, she's in her office.

But I think

she's on the phone with...

So, I found this beautiful

floating coffee table

that I really wanted

to incorporate...

I need to talk to you.

LINDSAY:

Can I call you back? Right.

Thanks. Molly, what's going on,

I need your help.

I need you to get this tested

as soon as possible.

Okay.

You used to date that guy at

the hospital lab, right?

Maybe he could...

LINDSAY: What is this? Weed?

No. No, it's tea.

It's Nicci's special tea.

I think she put something in it.

Like what?

Something to mess with my head.

I don't know.

Why would Nicci want

to mess with your head?

I don't know, but ever since

she's been with us

all these weird things have been

happening...

first the thing with the grout

then the thing with the phone...

What happened with your phone?

And can you sit, please?

You're making me nervous.

Do you promise

you won't tell Noah?

Of course.

- I saw... my nightmare.

You saw your nightmare?

I know.

I know it sounds crazy...

But I saw it.

It was there...

right there on my phone.

The woman. The red dress,

walking down the stairs,

taking Emma.

You saw all of this...

on your phone?

Yes! Yes! I mean,

I thought I was imagining it

because it's insane, right?

But it was so...

it was so real.

Could it have been

something else

that looked like your dream?

Like, I dunno...

No! No! It was my dream!

It was my house! My stairs!

My nursery!

Okay.

Why don't we call Noah

and have him come down here.

No. No, no.

I do not want to call Noah

until I know for sure

that it's her.

That I'm not...

I'll tell him.

I'll tell him once we know.

Okay, but I just... I need

your friend to test the tea

and tell me what's in it.

Okay. Okay, yeah, sure.

You don't believe me.

- No, of course I do.

Can you just relax and

I'll give my guy a call.

I left my phone

on Rachel's desk.

Just give me a sec.

[dramatic music]

You believe mommy,

don't you, Emma?

It's okay, sweet girl.

Everything's going to be okay.

Okay, so...

He said he could test it

but you won't get the results

back for a few days.

A few days?

- That's the best he can do.

I mean, he's doing me

a favor as it is.

No, no. Thank you,

thank you, Lindsay.

I'm sorry,

I know I must sound crazy.

No, no. No, not at all.

I mean,

I can't imagine how I'd feel

if all this was happening to me.

Come on, let's...

let's go drop this off.

What reason would Nicci have

to mess with your head?

I dunno. I just know.

Molly?

- Noah?

Noah, what are you doing...

You called Noah?

I'm sorry, Molly, I just

didn't know what else to do.

No, Lindsay was just trying

to help.

Honey, sweetie,

let's get you home

and we can figure it out

together.

I can't believe you.

I thought you were my friend.

We are friends. Molly!

Just let her go, Lindsay,

let her go.

You did the right thing.

You did!

I've never seen her

like this before.

I know. Me neither. And I have

no idea what's going on.

But we'll figure it out.

[dramatic music]

Hey, honey.

I called Dr. Waldron

and she said she had time

to see you this afternoon,

before we go home.

So you got a new nanny.

What's her name?

Molly, please talk to me.

Noah said that you were worried

that your nanny...

Nicci.

DR. WALDRON:

Nicci... was poisoning your tea.

I never said that.

I never said poison.

Then what?

Something to...

I don't know, mess me up.

Do you think Nicci wanted

to mess you up?

I don't know! I just...

Things have not been right

since she's been with us.

And I thought...

DR. WALDRON: You thought...?

I think Nicci wants

to steal Emma.

To steal my life.

And I know how it sounds, okay?

I know.

But she keeps talking

about people wearing masks...

...putting on "fasades."

"Fasades"?

MOLLY: That's how

she pronounces it.

But she is the one

putting on a facade.

She acts like she's

just here to help,

but really... but really

something is going on...

You think I'm crazy, too.

No. No, I don't.

It's just that

I heard someone else

use that same

pronunciation somewhere

and I just can't remember where.

But in any case, I promise,

you are not crazy.

But a higher dosage

might not quite be enough.

We could try a new medication.

Something a little stronger.

It'll help

with the intrusive thoughts.

Molly, I know the danger

feels very real to you,

but we've been here before.

And you know from experience

that you don't have anything

to worry about.

Right?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

DR. WALDRON: Okay then.

Here you go, hon.

Honey, you told Dr. Waldron you

were open to the new medication.

I know...

Come on, can't you

even try to feel better?

What?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

I didn't mean it like that.

Molly, what if they work?

What if they work?

What if you take them

and you feel better?

'Cause that's what

they were designed to do.

So why don't... why don't

we try it and see?

NICCI: Hey, you two.

Sorry.

Didn't mean to startle you.

Just wanted to see if you wanted

to say goodnight to Emma?

Hi! Hi! Goodnight, sweetheart.

Goodnight.

Okay, so Emma needs

to go night-night.

Look at you,

getting so big already.

NICCI: Okay, baby, let's go.

Yeah, that's a happy girl.

Thanks, guys.

- Thank you, Nicci.

What is she still doing here?

I asked her

if she would stay the night.

What? Why? Why would you...

- So you can get some rest.

So we that we can both

get some rest.

Also, I asked her if she'd be

open to living here full time.

What?

- Just until

you get back on your feet.

But what if she's...

- She's not!

She's not! Okay? She's not.

You do not know that.

- Yes, I do!

And so does Lindsay

and so does Dr. Waldron.

Look, honey, you checked her

references when you hired her.

Her nursing school,

they raved about her.

And what

about the message board?

Her last family,

they said she walked on water?

Yes, but...

- No buts!

She's not poisoning your tea

and she's not trying

to steal Emma.

You are the

only one who thinks that.

But if there's a chance

she might,

why would we even

consider having her?

Because I need the help!

Because I need the help.

I don't know what to do.

I'm worried

about you and Emma all day.

I'm getting

emergency phone calls

in the middle of meetings.

I can't keep missing work.

They're patient now, but they're

not going to be forever.

We need

the insurance for your...

I just... please.

I need help.

Please, just, honey, just,

please.

I can't do this alone.

She can live here. Okay? Okay?

She can live here.

It'll be good.

I swear. It'll be good.

Let me... let me go lock up,

okay?

Okay.

- I'll be in in a little bit.

[gentle music]

[determined music]

[phone dialing]

DR.WALDRON: Hi Molly,

it's Doctor Waldron.

I just wanted to check in

to see how you're feeling

on your new meds.

Okay, well, give me a call

when you get a chance.

Reminder to send Molly in

for labs next week.

My hope is that these

paranoid fantasies

will subside on this

new medication

and that her fear of her nanny

will go away with them.

"Fasade..."

[dramatic music]

"Fasade..."

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[phone dialing]

[phone buzzing]

AUTOMATED VOICE: The mailbox is

full and cannot accept...

[knocking]

Molly?

[metallic scratching]

[thumping]

[metallic scratching]

[phone buzzing]

AUTOMATED VOICE:

The mailbox is full

and cannot accept

any messages at this time.

Goodbye.

[knocking]

Sh. I just got her to sleep.

Is Molly around?

She hasn't been answering

my calls.

Um, yeah, yeah.

I can take Emma.

That would be great, thank you.

Thanks Nicci.

- Mm-hm.

Sorry, she's on a new

medication.

It's been knocking her out.

Not that she'd take

my call anyways.

I really thought she was

over this postpartum stuff.

Lindsay, what happened

at lunch the other day?

I told you,

she saw something on her phone.

I think I put too much pressure

on her to go back to work.

It's not your fault.

NOAH: I really thought

it was a good idea.

I thought she was ready for it.

LINDSAY: Well, so did I.

But if she's not, she's not.

The most important thing is

helping her get healthy again.

Well, thank you.

I know you're doing double duty

without Molly there.

I got it covered.

I'm more worried about you.

How are you holding up?

It's... it's tough. But, I mean,

Nicci, she's been a lifesaver.

I'll bet.

- What?

Nothing. Just let Molly know

I'm here for her.

I'm here for you too.

Come here.

What did Lindsay have to say?

Well, she thinks

that Molly's just stressed

about going back to work.

I guess...

- You don't think so?

I... never mind.

No, really, Nicci,

I'm asking you.

I'd love your opinion.

Is just my impression

that Lindsay

isn't the most positive person.

Yeah... that's just...

that's just who she is.

Molly's in a really sensitive

place right now.

It's like that thing

with the grout. Remember?

That happened right after

Lindsay was here.

I just wonder if

maybe Lindsay doesn't have

some kind of

toxic effect on Molly.

They've been friends forever,

Nicci.

I know, but it is possible

that Lindsay did

or said something

to upset Molly at lunch.

I mean, it could have happened

without Molly

even consciously realizing it.

That's the thing

with toxic people.

You can't really put your finger

on exactly why

they make you feel bad,

they just do.

So, the thing is Lindsay

and Molly, they're very close.

Even though they have

a bit of a history together.

A history?

- Yeah.

Lindsay, she's always been

really competitive with Molly.

Especially in college.

They were always vying for

top grades, internships.

Even...

- Guys? You mean you?

Wow. Was I being that obvious?

Yeah, so, me.

But I only went out with Lindsay

a couple times before Molly.

And I didn't...

I didn't have feelings for her.

I mean, not like I do for Molly.

Molly's my entire world.

What? What're you thinking?

Just that I really don't think

that Lindsay is the best person

to have around Molly right now.

Well, good luck trying to

keep them apart.

Lindsay doesn't take

no for an answer.

Ha... well, she hasn't dealt

with me yet.

[knocking]

Lindsay.

- I'm here to see Molly.

Sorry. She's sleeping.

Yeah. That's what

she's doing a lot of right now.

I'm here

to take her out of the house.

She doesn't really

want to be disturbed.

I'm her friend,

I'm just here to help.

That's very sweet of you

but we think it's best

to let her sleep.

"We"? You mean you and Noah?

Where is he?

I want to talk to him.

Sorry. He already left for work.

I'll be sure to let Molly know

that you came by.

[tense music]

NOAH: Thank you, thank you.

I left the dry cleaning list

on the table.

Oh, yeah, no problem,

I'll get that later.

Wanna say goodbye to Emma?

- Absolutely. Bye.

Oh, you've got something

right there.

NOAH: Thank you.

Have a great day.

Lying b*tch.

MOLLY: Nicci?

Was someone just at the door?

I thought

I heard Lindsay's voice.

No. You must've dreamt it.

[phone buzzing]

Allegra, hi!

- Molly!

I texted but I didn't

hear back from you.

Sorry, I've been a little...

Did you get the new

sketches from Lindsay?

I wanted to get your take

before we send them out

to the architect.

I'm sure they're great.

I trust Lindsay with my life.

Oh, I know, Lindsay's wonderful.

I just want to make sure they

have your stamp of approval.

I'll take a look right now.

- You're the best! I gotta run.

Kisses to Emma.

- Of course. Talk soon!

NICCI: I made you some tea.

And I can make you a sandwich

for lunch if you like.

Does that sound good?

Are you hungry?

- No. No, I'm fine.

I have to look

at sketches for Allegra.

Okay. Here.

Oh. Thanks.

[gentle music]

[tense music]

[mug shattering]

Oh! Oh, I'll help.

Were you in this room earlier?

Uh, no, I never come in here.

The last time I saw someone

come in here was you.

Last weekend.

Why? Is something wrong?

I think I just need

to go back to bed.

Yeah, I'll take care of this.

Okay?

God, did I do this?

[tense music]

[keypad beeping]

[lock whirring]

What the hell?

WHISPERS: Bad mommy.

ECHOING VOICES: Bad mommy.

Take care.

You're a bad mommy.

Die. Die. Die.

- It isn't real.

ECHOING VOICES: Die. Die!

- It's not real. Stop!

Stop!

What? What?

[message sent swoosh]

[notification ding]

[message sent swoosh]

[notification ding]

[message sent swoosh]

[notification ding]

[tense music]

[message sent swoosh]

[notification ding]

[message sent swoosh]

[notification ding]

No. Oh, my God.

Noah! Please call me back

when you get this!

[clunking]

Aurora Prince...

[overlapping children's babble]

Nicci!

Molly? Molly,

what're you doing here?

I'm taking Emma.

What's wrong?

Is everything okay?

Do you want me to call Noah?

No! No,

I don't want you to call Noah.

I want my baby!

[Emma crying]

Don't you think that

you should be lying down?

It's okay,

I can take care of Emma.

No. No. Just leave us alone!

[Emma crying]

What? What?

This is my baby.

Noah, hi.

Hi, sorry to bother you at work,

I just... I think Molly is

having some kind of an episode.

She's acting really strange.

Thank you

so much for babysitting.

Yeah, of course...

- I'll be back as soon as I can.

Love you.

- Oh, Molly, before you go,

this real estate developer

keeps calling.

She wants to talk to you about

a new development downtown.

It's okay, baby.

[mysterious music]

909 Warren Place...

[phone buzzing]

[doorbell ringing]

[doorbell ringing]

[phone buzzing]

Noah.

- NOAH: Molly! Thank goodness!

Are you okay? Where are you?

- Yeah, I'm fine, Noah.

But something

very wrong is going on.

NOAH: It's okay, honey.

Just tell me where you are

and I'll come get you.

What? Why would you come get me?

NOAH: Nicci told me what happened.

She said you were having a bad day.

Nicci? Noah! For your information,

she is the one that...

I have to go.

Can I help you?

Yes, hi. I wanted to talk

to you...

...about your house.

It's for a client.

Isabelle Kelly.

That's you.

Come on in.

It's lovely.

Nice fireplace. Is it original?

Uh, ever since I got here,

so yes.

[tense music]

What a beautiful baby.

Is she your... grandchild?

Uh... was.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

May I?

Of course.

- Okay.

What a lovely room.

- Yeah.

Oh, and I just love this mobile.

Where'd you get it?

My daughter made it.

Is this her?

- Mm-hm.

Is she here?

I'd love to talk to her about

commissioning a mobile

for my friend's nursery.

No. She's out of town right now.

She got some sort

of an acting job.

But I have your number,

I could have her call you.

She looks so much like Emma.

My friend's baby.

So sad she passed.

How did you say it happened?

I didn't.

Well, I'll be in touch.

Call Office.

[phone dialing]

[phone ringing]

Mayes and Collins Design.

- Rachel? Hey, it's Molly.

I'm on my way there to pick

up...

Hey, Molly. No... it's Lindsay.

Rachel just stepped out.

Is everything okay?

MOLLY: Nicci is NewMom!

- What? What's NewMom?

The woman

on the postpartum forum.

The one who recommended Nicci.

Except Nicci never worked

for NewMom. She is NewMom.

Her little girl died

a few months back.

She looks just like Emma.

Are you serious?

What do you think that means?

It means she lied to us

and who knows what else

she's lying about.

I'm worried. Maybe she

does want to steal my baby.

Are you sure about this?

MOLLY: I was just at her house!

I met her mother.

She was acting all mysterious

about how the baby died.

Lindsay, your friend

who works at the hospital.

Do you think he would be able to

find records of the baby?

Aurora Prince?

Yeah, I'll call him right away.

Hey... I'm really, really sorry

about how I've been behaving.

You don't need to apologize.

- Thanks.

I'll be there soon

to pick up Emma.

Pick up Emma?

She's not here. Hang on.

- MOLLY: What?

Molly, it's Rachel.

Didn't Noah tell you?

He picked up Emma an hour ago.

He was really

concerned about you.

I told him I didn't

know where you were,

so he took Emma and left.

- So Noah has Emma?

Yeah... er, actually

the nanny took her...

Noah went looking for you.

Oh God. Nicci has my baby?

[Nicci humming]

Okay. All done?

All done?

Yeah, that's a good girl.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

All done? Good girl.

[phone dialing]

[phone buzzing]

Mom?

- NICCI'S MOM: Nicole,

There was a woman here,

she was acting real strange,

She kept asking about Aurora.

About how she died.

She said she was a realtor...

Isabelle Kelly...?

What'd she look like?

Pale skin, pale green eyes.

She had a heart

on a chain around her neck.

Huh.

NICCI'S MOM:

Nicole, what is going on?

Are you in some kind of trouble?

No... I'm fine!

Everything's great.

Just don't say

anything else to anyone.

Nicole...

- NICCI: I gotta go. Bye.

[knocking]

Dammit!

[knocking]

Good evening, ma'am.

I'm Officer Morris,

this is Officer Manu.

Are you Molly Mayes?

No, she's not home right now.

I'm her nanny.

What's this about?

Doctor Sonya Waldron disappeared

after leaving her office

sometime after 4:30pm

last Tuesday.

MANU: The last call she made

was to Molly Mayes' phone.

Were you here at that time?

Um... No. I don't think so.

I was probably at the park

with the baby.

But, I'm sure Molly was here.

She was home all last week.

Please tell Mrs. Mayes we

need to speak to her.

Sure, yeah. Thank you, officers.

Hey, Lindsay, did you reach

your friend at the hospital?

Molly... it's bad.

Nicole Baxter was

a nursing student and shortly

after her husband,

Ethan Prince, left her...

the baby died.

They suspect she injected

something into the heart

to make it stop beating.

- What?

LINDSAY: Yeah, it's like some

kind of Munchausen thing.

Working at the hospital

she had access

to a lot of medication.

But no one's been able

to prove anything...

[horn blaring]

I'm so sorry I didn't

believe you before.

And listen, I still had

that tea.

We got it tested

and it turns out

there was some kind

of chemical in there.

Psilo... Psilo-something.

But whatever it is,

it makes you hallucinate.

I knew it.

LINDSAY: And not just that.

I've been doing some reading...

I think Nicci could have hacked

your baby monitor

to make you think

you were hearing voices.

And that video on

your phone could've been real.

Real how?

LINDSAY:

It's called micro-targeting.

On social media you can

actually send an ad

to one individual user.

Maybe Nicci heard you talking

about your nightmare

and then

micro-targeted your phone!

Oh, my God... Emma...

[horn blaring]

[tense music]

Nicci!

Emma...

Noah!

- Molly! Are you okay?

Nicci has Emma, we have to call

the police before she hurts her.

Everything's okay.

- Everything is not okay!

She has Emma

and she is dangerous.

I picked up Nicci

a little while ago.

And we've been looking

for you ever since.

She's fine. Emma's fine.

Everything's okay.

Oh thank God. Let me have her.

Hey, hey, hey.

Emma... she's fine.

Why don't you and I

just go upstairs? Okay?

Why're you talking to me

like that?

I'm not the one

with the problem. It's her!

I am onto you.

Molly, I'm just trying to help.

- No, don't give me that.

I know you micro-targeted

my phone

to make me think

I was hallucinating!

And you scratched my face

out of that picture!

And you hacked the baby monitor

to make me think

I was hearing voices!

Molly, no. What?

Honey, wait, I'm sorry.

Now you're hearing voices?

No. No, no, no, no, I didn't.

I mean I thought I did,

but it was her.

She was doing it the whole time!

I'm not crazy!

Hey, nobody said

that you were crazy.

Stop talking to me like that!

I know what you think.

You believe her instead of me.

Well why don't you ask Lindsay?

She'll tell

you all about Nicole,

or should I call you NewMom?

I told you it was Lindsay.

She's putting ideas in

Molly's...

Stop talking about me

like I'm not even here.

I want you out!

And you can get out too

if you don't believe me

But I want my daughter!

Honey...

- Stop it.

[Emma whimpering]

Are you okay?

I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

[knocking]

Molly?

Stay away from us.

Molly, Molly, here me out.

I'm sorry.

If you don't want Nicci here,

I'll send her home right now.

Whatever you want.

Really?

You believe me?

- Yes.

And I'm sorry I made you

think anything different.

If you think

something is going on,

we have to treat that

very seriously.

But you should've told me

about the voices.

I know. I know

I should have. I just...

I wanted to

figure it all out first.

Yeah.

I just... I had to protect Emma.

Honey, you did. You did.

You protected her.

She's safe now.

Yes, she's completely safe.

And now we need

to get some rest.

Hi, sweetie. Hi.

And Emma needs to rest, too.

Let me put her to sleep.

Put her to sleep,

I'll put Emma down,

I'll be back in a few minutes.

Okay?

- Okay.

I know, I know.

Just right after I let Nicci go.

Okay?

Okay, take your pills.

- Okay.

[gentle music]

Is she okay?

I don't know.

I've never actually seen her

this bad before.

Did you know everything

that was going on?

She really came after you.

I had no idea.

I mean, I knew

that she was concerned

about the postpartum,

and that she was having

a hard time, but...

Right.

You know, I'm not surprised

that Lindsay is involved.

I always had

a really bad feeling about her.

What're you going to do?

I was thinking

about calling Dr. Waldron,

having her...

Just making sure she

gets the help that she needs.

Would you mind

watching over Emma?

Staying with her for a little

bit while I go call her?

Yeah, of course.

Whatever you need.

It's gonna be okay.

I'm here.

I'll always protect you.

[tense music]

[phone dialing]

Hi, yes, this is Noah,

I'd like to speak

with Dr. Waldron.

It's urgent.

What do you mean

she's been unreachable?

What are you talking about?

Okay, yeah. Yeah.

No, of course...

I'd love to speak with whoever

is covering her patients.

Just anybody.

Molly?

Sweetie, we're just gonna go

on a little trip.

Okay, Molly?

Molly?

Nicci, have you seen Molly?

She's not in the bedroom?

- No.

Oh, my God.

Molly?

All right, well,

the car is still here.

She couldn't have gotten far.

Okay, I'm gonna drive around

and look for her.

Stay here, watch Emma.

If she comes back, call me.

NICCI: Of course, yeah.

Don't worry, we'll find her.

Molly?

Oh, my God.

[whispering] Help... Help...

Emma! Emma!

[tense music]

[clattering]

Molly?

[rhythmic thudding]

Hi hi sweet girl.

I'm not going to let anything

happen to you, Emma.

I promise. Okay. Shh.

Let's just be quiet

for a minute...

Molly. Molly, it's okay.

- Stay away from us.

Molly, you're not well

right now.

And I can't let you have her.

I'm not letting you touch her.

Molly, I'm trying to help you.

Stop lying!

I know all about you!

I know what you did

to your own daughter!

Molly, just, just...

please, just give me Aurora.

Aurora?

- Emma. Emma. I mean Emma.

Just... Just give me Emma, and

then you can take a nice nap.

Molly.

[knocking]

Just hand over the baby, okay?

Okay, and then you can sleep.

Stay away from us!

Molly!

Give me the baby.

Okay. Okay.

I'll give her to you. Okay?

What did you...

I told you I'd never let you

touch my baby, b*tch.

[dramatic music]

Okay, you're okay.

I know, yeah.

[distant clattering]

It's okay.

It's okay, you're safe now.

We're both safe now.

LINDSAY: Molly!

Lindsay?

What happened? Are you okay?

She wanted to take Emma.

Oh, my God.

Is she dead?

- I had to, Lindsay.

It was just like you said...

she had a syringe.

I think she was going

to k*ll me.

Like I said?

MOLLY: On the phone.

I don't understand.

What do you mean?

On the phone you said

that she k*lled her daughter.

And tried to make me

think I was hallucinating.

Molly, I never said any of that.

You did! You told me!

You called me to warn me!

This is bad.

This is very bad.

But she was dangerous.

You're the one who told me

she was dangerous!

No. I didn't...

She k*lled Dr. Waldron!

- What?

I found her body

with blood all over it.

Molly, why don't you

give me the knife.

What... What, no! No, no, no.

I didn't. I didn't do it.

I know. I know. It's okay.

She... She did. It was her!

You're the one who told me

that she micro-targeted my phone

and put something in my tea.

You had it tested!

I did have it tested,

but there was nothing in there.

It was just tea.

And she didn't micro-target

your phone

or hack your baby monitor

so you'd hear voices.

No, wait. She didn't?

What matters is that

you didn't hurt Emma.

Molly, give her to me.

I'll take care of her, while...

While you're away.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Come here, baby.

Come here, baby.

Give her to me.

WHISPERED VOICE: Bad mommy.

Wait... wait, wait, wait.

How did you know about

the voices on the monitor?

I never told you about them.

Of course you did. Earlier.

On the phone.

No, no, you were the one

who said it.

I didn't. I know I didn't...

Molly, you're not going to start

accusing me now, are you?

I think you need help.

And we'll get it for you.

Noah and I. We will help you.

Noah? And you?

What?

Oh...

[tense music]

It was you.

LINDSAY: Me?

You were the one who

brought the grout.

And you pretended not

to see the ad on my phone...

What am I looking for?

And you k*lled Dr. Waldron!

Molly, you're not

thinking clearly.

Yes, I am. I finally see.

Is that why you pushed

Nicci down the stairs?

What? No!

You made me think it was her.

And who's going to believe that?

Noah will.

- He won't.

I just spoke with him.

He's the one who told me

that you are losing your mind.

I'm not losing my mind!

- Yes you are!

Stay back.

Don't worry. I'm not...

I'm not going to hurt you.

Ah!

Oh!

Molly, you're hurting me.

Wait, no!

Why are you doing this?

You're my best friend.

Best friend?

Are we really best friends?

Were we best friends when

you stole Noah from me?

Were we best friends

when you stole the life

that I was meant to have?

The house, the baby?

Everything that should

have been mine!

Ow!

Even the damned studio.

All everybody wants to know

is when Molly's coming back!

Well, I'm done picking

through your leftovers.

I am taking what's mine.

You are crazy!

No, you're crazy.

Molly, you k*lled your nanny,

and your doctor,

and you attacked your

best friend with a knife.

Why would you do that unless...

You're not fit to be a mother!

Nicci.

I really don't like her.

Is she... Is she dead?

No. It's just a lot of diazepam.

I've been taking it

ever since Aurora...

It helps when I'm sad.

Is Emma okay?

Yeah. Yeah, Emma's fine.

[gentle music]

I'm so sorry, honey.

I had no idea.

Neither did I...

But I think I knew

the whole time.

The woman in red.

I think my nightmares

were trying to warn me.

Molly. Molly, I'm so sorry.

I just wanted to feel

like a mother again.

I know.

MORRIS: Nicole Baxter?

- Um, yes?

MORRIS: The paramedics would

like to asses your injuries.

Okay. Yeah.

You say the suspect,

Lindsay Collins, assaulted you?

Yes. She pushed me

down the stairs.

Nicci.

Thank you.



Great, thank you very much,

thank you.

Guess who!

There's the sweetest girl

in the whole world.

I thought

I heard someone out here.

Well, we just had

to come visit mommy!

Well I'm glad you did,

because I have a little

surprise for you, Emma.

Come on.

Yeah.

Here's your new nursery!

NOAH: Honey, this is beautiful!

Wow.

Thank you!

- The best!

Now you can be with mommy

whenever she's at work!

And I get to babysit!

No, I think we're going

to hire someone for that.

Aww.

- Because I'm going to need

a new business partner.

Oh... Oh, my... Oh... Oh, my

God.

Thank you,

thank you, thank you, thank you!

Did you hear that! Ah!

Thank you, thank you.

You know what?

I'm gonna go call my mom!

I think it's play time!

Yeah? Okay.

Let's go.

Yeah. Good girl.

What is that?
