Woman on TV: You know,
when you're a movie star,
your appearance plays
a big part in your career.
Everything is important.
Your clothes, your figure,
your hair.
That's why I always have
my hair shampooed...
with Luster Creme.
It's the movie star's
favorite.
See the star?
I love this new
liquid Luster Creme.
It's heavenly rich.
And leaves my hair shinier,
easier to manage.
Announcer:
New Luster Creme shampoo,
with a new non-drying formula.
Show announcer:
And now, here's Jack.
[audience applauds]
This next little lady
has been entertaining
audiences all summer long.
In cabarets
and c*ck lounges
up and down the East Coast.
She's making her live
television debut
here, tonight,
on The Jack Parr Show.
And aren't we lucky she is.
Please welcome
Miss Pamela Scott.

[sighs heavily]
[doctor sighs]
- You two married?
- Elias: No.
- We're--
- Whatever you have to say,
he can hear it.
[machines beeping]
Fine.
You're having a miscarriage.
What?
How is that possible?
No, we were careful.
Doctor: Well, the amount
of hemorrhaging is severe.
She's gonna need a procedure
that'll clear out
all the retained tissue.
It'll probably affect
her fertility moving forward,
but we can't risk
her going into sepsis.
I won't be able
to have children?
It's gonna be all right, sweetheart.
Sorry, doll, but,
some of you gals just, uh,
you know, aren't built for it.
Reggie. Overnight admission.
I know I said that I wasn't
ready to get married
and have a baby,
but I didn't mean not ever.
No, it's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
Wait, you know what?
Wait, wait.
Actually, uh,
cancel the operation.
I'm gonna get a second opinion.
Every other doctor in town is
gonna tell you the same thing.
I work for Bellflower Chemical.
[Pam sighs heavily]
Listen, um,
there's this state-of-the-art
medical facility in Houston.
I'm not even supposed
to know about this,
but-- but a-- apparently
they've hired
the best obstetricians
in the world.
Obstetricians? Why?
I don't really know.
Maybe they just want to make
sure our frozen peas
are safe for pregnant mothers.
But whatever it is,
you-- you know,
you deserve the best.
And they usually reserve these
perks for upper management,
but I'm sure somebody
could make a-- a phone call.
Bellflower takes care
of its own.
[gentle music]
[birds chirping]
It's nice to get out
of the city.
[Elias sighs]
[door clicks]
Did you drive her around a bit
and show her the campus?
I still don't know why one
company needs so many offices.
Well, I told her we're not
just consumer products.
We're also industrial supplies,
government contracts.
You left out the most
important part.
Everything's bigger in Texas.
[all chuckle]
Hello, Pam.
I'm Dr. Valentine,
and this is my colleague,
Dr. Landau.
Shall we get started?
Landau: If you'll just
lie down.
[curtains rattling]
[machine whirring]
Pam, this unfortunate-looking
behemoth
is called a sonogram machine.
Only three others like it
in the whole world.
It uses sound waves
to actually look inside you.
Maybe we'll find
that chewing gum
you swallowed in third grade.
[all chuckle]
[machine whirring]
[static humming]
[keys clicking]
[high-pitched whine]
- [whirring]
- What's wrong?
[whirring]
[Elias sighs]
[static]
[rapid heartbeat thuds]
[laughs]
You're still pregnant, Pam.
What?
Valentine:
You haven't lost your baby.
That little stinker's holding
on for dear life.
[gasps]
[laughs]
Elias: I pass him,
but I've never met him.
- [Valentine and Elias laugh]
- [door clicks shut]
There she is.
Have a seat, Pam.
[laughs]
I was just telling
your husband...
excuse me, your friend,
that doctor you saw
in New York was an idiot.
Saying you'd never be able
to conceive again is ridiculous.
If you do lose your baby, we'll
go in there and clean you out,
and you'd almost certainly be
fine to try again.
But that's not what you want,
is it, Pam?
No.
Valentine: You want to have
this child, don't you?
Yes. [laughs]
In that case, we'd like to help.
Uh, Dr. Valentine's offered us
a spot in a clinical trial.
He says your, uh, placenta
isn't adhering properly.
The little fella's really
struggling to hang on.
It's a serious condition,
but treatable.
But you can already tell
that it's a boy?
Call it a hunch.
[chuckles]
Treatment would require
you remain in Houston
throughout your pregnancy.
It's a big change, I know.
- Yes.
- Valentine: But, uh...
we could easily arrange housing.
Well, it-- it says here that
the treatment is experimental.
Uh, no medical treatment
is without risk, sweetheart.
For what it's worth,
we've had incredible success
treating conditions
just like yours.
Could you just give us
a minute, please?
Take all the time you need.
[door latch clicks]
[Pam sighs]
I don't know, I...
Elias: What is it, sweetheart?
I don't know, it's just,
it's all happening so fast.
What if this baby deserves
a better mother than me?
No, no, no!
He's gonna be the luckiest
boy in the world.
[laughs]
What are you doing?
Marry me.
And let's do it.
Let's take this leap together.
But you can't leave your job
for seven months.
And do what?
You think there's no
corporate sales in Houston?
Look, the most important thing
right now is you,
and our son, and giving
our family the start...
[romantic music]
[pills rattle]
[gentle music]
[doorbell chimes]
- Hello!
- Hello.
You must be Pam.
I'm Trish Fairfield.
I live just up the street.
Oh.
Trish: Honestly, you don't
have to eat that.
Uh, no, they asked me
to fill out a survey about it.
I can tell you what to write.
"Tastes like old socks."
[laughs]
I'm four months along, in case
you just thought I was fat.
- [both laugh]
- No.
But does your husband work
for Bellflower, too?
Mm-hmm. They act like
we're so lucky
that we get to try all these
new products for free.
But if they're not on the market
yet, there's usually a reason.
How about cake
for lunch instead?
[laughs]
And so then
my mother-in-law says,
"well, of course
I'll come and stay
for at least a month
after you have the baby."
I just smiled and nodded,
because I knew that
if I opened my mouth,
I would say something honest.
[both laugh]
Who's coming to stay with you?
Oh, no, uh,
Elias' mother isn't well,
and my parents are gone, so.
Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.
Here I am, pooh-poohing
my own family.
It was a long time ago.
And if they knew that
I'd become a nightclub singer
in the big city,
they'd have probably k*lled me.
Oh, my gosh. I never thought
that I'd leave Topeka.
Thank goodness Dave came along.
But now, here I am,
meeting cosmopolitan people
like you.
[laughs]
And our children
are gonna grow up together.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
That would, but, uh,
as soon as I have the baby,
I think we're gonna head
back to New York.
But I would love it
if you would come visit us.
I'm really just here
for the treatment.
Wait, I don't understand.
You wanted the treatment?
Well, yeah, of course.
Why? What's wrong with that?
Oh, no, nothing.
No, I-- Lord knows,
I'm getting it, too.
I just... wish I wasn't.
Dave insisted.
[somber music]
You haven't gone in
for it yet, have you?
The treatment?
No.
Why?
Maybe you won't think
it's that bad.
Dave's always saying
I'm a big baby.
Let me help you tidy up.
[♪]
[machine humming]
[eerie music]
[machine whirring]
[rapid clicking]
[♪]
[machine humming]
There he is.
Heart's beating like a drum.
Let's get started.
[clicking, rustling noises]
What are you doing?
This isn't the Spanish
Inquisition, I promise.
We just can't have you moving
around during treatment.
Well, can't you put me out
or something?
No, we can't risk lowering
the baby's heart rate.
He'll never grow up big
and strong
if we don't get him
to stay put first.
[straps rustling]
[ominous music]
[machine whirring]
[beeping]
[machine whirring]
Valentine: Remember,
perfectly still, okay, Mom?
Mm-hmm.
You don't want to hurt the baby.
[muffled screams]
[whirring]
[muffled screams]
- Oh!
- [women laughing]
- Woman: Doesn't she look sweet?
- [women applauding]
- Oh!
- So sweet!
[hum of excited chatter]
Oh! [laughs]
[hum of excited chatter]
Yeah.
Woman: Little bits and bobs,
you know.
[women laughing]
Trish, you don't
have to do that.
You're awfully quiet today.
Is everything all right?
Sure. I'm just a little tired.
Well, they say it's hard
to sleep in the last few weeks.
It's not that.
They have me taking these pills.
Everything sort of
feels like a dream.
What pills?
It's embarrassing.
Oh, come on, you know
you can tell me anything.
It's nothing, really.
I was just having these, um...
thoughts... delusions.
Gosh, I feel so foolish.
I was thinking that Dave
and the doctors were...
Were what?
Lying to me...
about something to do
with the treatments or the baby.
And every time I went in
for an appointment,
I couldn't think straight
for days.
And the injections were
making me feel like I was...
I don't know, going...
going a little crazy.
Does that happen to you?
Well, I mean, sometimes I get
a headache after, but...
No. No, nothing like that.
Well, anyway, it turns out
I was doing this Freudian thing
called projection.
And Dave's been working so hard.
I didn't want to make
things harder.
And the pills really have been
helping a lot.
[horn honking]
sh**t. That must be Dave.
- Pam: He's early.
- Oh, I completely forgot
I have an appointment
with Dr. Valentine.
I should go.
Trish, I could come with you.
No.
No, I would never take you away
from your own baby shower.
[laughs shakily]
I'll see you later.
[women laugh and chatter]
[eerie music]
We're late. Let's go.
[♪]
[Dave shouting indistinctly]
Get in the car, Trish.
[phone ringing]
[ominous music]
Elias: Hello?
Oh, no.
Stillborn?
Oh, God.
What is it?
[somber music]
Hi, Trish.
I'm so sorry.
She wasn't right.
The baby.
What do you mean, wasn't right?
I wasn't supposed to see her,
but I did.
Her face.
It was...
I don't think I could
have loved her.
Oh, honey, don't say that.
That's...
I know why it happened.
Because of the treatments?
Because of me.
Because they had to give me
pills for my horrible thoughts.
It's my fault that
she came out like that.
- No.
- I k*lled her, Pam.
It's my fault.
No, it is not your fault, Trish.
- Trish: It's my fault.
- No.
- It's my fault.
- Hey, no, stop.
- It's my-- It's my fault!
- Stop, stop!
- I'm sick! I'm sick!
- No, don't-- hey! Help!
- I'm sick! I'm sick!
- Help! Somebody!
- I'm sick! I'm sick!
- Please, we need some help!
- Please, nurse!
- [glass shattering]
Trish: Pam.
[ominous music]
[screaming shrilly]
- [gurgling]
- No!
[Trish breathing shallowly]
[Pam screaming]
[blood gurgling]
- [Pam screaming]
- Oh, my God.
- [screams echoing]
- [distant shouts of doctors]
[♪]
You've done it to my wife.
I mean, how-- how-- how am I
ever gonna explain this to her?
Man: We understand,
and we intend to--
- Elias?
- Elias: How am I gonna get
compensated for what
you've done to our child?
- Man: We'll take care of this.
- Elias.
Hey. Hey, sweetie.
It's okay. I'm here.
Where's the baby? What happened?
- Elias: No, it's...
- What?
Elias: You had the baby.
Uh, they gave you anesthesia.
That's why...
That's why you can't remember.
It's a boy.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
Well, when can I see him?
Well, I'm afraid
they had to keep him
in the nursery
a little while longer,
because he was premature.
But, uh...
he's, um...
He's what?
What aren't you telling me?
Um, I need to speak
to the doctors.
But you should get some rest.
[eerie music]
[door clicks]
[baby wailing]
[♪]
[baby wailing]
Now, here. Come on, careful.
Okay. Now, watch your step.
Oh, Pam, this is Nora,
my new secretary.
I asked her to get the house
all ready for you.
It's a pleasure to meet
you, Pam.
I didn't know Elias was getting
his own secretary.
Nora: [laughs] He negotiated
quite a few perks
with his new promotion.
Um, there's food in the fridge,
and plenty of baby formula,
although Mr. Wittering said
that you don't need any bottles.
Oh, no.
Jason's mouth doesn't
attach that way.
I have to feed him
with drops from a syringe.
- [Jason coos]
- Shh... shh, shh.
[laughs]
Like how they feed kittens.
Hmm!
It takes forever, and I'm afraid
I'm not very good at it.
Hmm.
Hmm, my daughter is, um...
She's a little different,
uh, too.
Not physically, but...
How old is she?
It's just her and me now.
It's...
I'll be taking care of her
for the rest of my life.
- [Jason fusses]
- [Elias clears his throat]
Well, you're all, uh, set up
in the nursery there.
You didn't tell me you got
a promotion.
Oh, I was just waiting
for everything to settle.
But, yeah, anyway,
since we're gonna be here
for a while longer
than we planned,
the company thought they'd put
my talents to good use.
Uh, speaking of which,
Nora and I need
to get back to the office.
What? So soon? We just got home.
Well, yeah, there's a meeting
with investors in D.C.
I'll be gone all weekend.
But Nora is just a phone call
away if you need her.
- Well--
- Look, this is gonna be
good for us, but...
it's a lot more responsibility.
You'll be all right?
Honestly, I don't know.
I've never done this
alone before.
Hey, the Pam that I know, the
woman that I fell in love with,
she can do anything.
[chuckles]
All right.
- [Jason coos]
- Say bye to Daddy.
Um, I'll be back
before you know it.
[somber music]
You'll be fine.
[door slams]
You hear that?
We're gonna be fine.

Pam.
Oh, my God.
[Pam screams]
- No! No.
- Oh no, what did you do?
- He's not breathing.
- Let me see. Let me have him.
- Let me have him.
- He's not breathing.
- Let me help him.
- There's no pulse.
- There's no-- He's gone.
- No!
- He's gone. He's gone.
- No!
What did you do?
What did you do?
- Hmm?
- [Pam screams]
- Shh!
- No! No! [sobbing]
Shh!
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
- [Pam sobbing]
- Oh, God.
- [Pam sobbing]
- [Jason cries weakly]
[Jason wailing]
Oh! Oh, my baby.
- [Jason wailing]
- Come here.
Oh! Oh...
[Pam weeping]
[Jason continues wailing]
[eerie music]
Pam.
Pam...
Pam.
[weakly] Where's Jason?
He's all right.
He's a very lucky boy.
We don't think
the loss of oxygen
will have any lasting effects.
What? Wha--
You had to be sedated
last night.
You were in hysterics.
Where is Jason?
Um...
Miss Parsons here will be
moving in with us for a while.
Make things easier on you.
Good morning, dear.
She's a registered nurse.
We're very lucky to have her.
I'll be taking Jason
to and from the clinic every day
so you can rest.
The clinic? What...
He'll still need various
therapeutic interventions
to mitigate
any of the damage you may--
to help him grow up
big and strong.
[Jason fussing]
I can just drive him
to the clinic.
Elias:
After what happened last night,
we can't let you do that.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. What did I do?
[gasps]
Did I hurt him?
Valentine:
It's all right, Pam.
We're only human.
He'll be just fine.
We'll make sure of that.
[groans softly]
Now, I want you
to take one of these
whenever your spirits get low.
But the way I see it,
you've got nothing
to feel sad about.
Good-looking husband
and a full-time nanny?
It's every little lady's dream.
[♪]
Nora: The decorations in
the backyard look wonderful.
- Oh, thank you.
- Oh, he'll be so delighted.
If he ever gets here.
Elias knew the party's at 2:00.
I don't know why he has to take
him for therapy on a Saturday.
Jason's about to miss
his own birthday party.
[overlapping chatter]
[children giggling]
[Landau grunts]
- Oh, hey--
- [groans] Sorry.
- Let me help you.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to, uh...
- Oh.
- Sorry. [clears throat]
Are you moonlighting
as a janitor, Doctor?
[chuckles dryly] Damn clinic.
Why don't you come in
and lie down for a minute?
[quietly]
So you don't scare the children.
Yeah, of course. [clears throat]
The powder room's inside,
and you can just freshen up.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Wittering.
For everything.
[intriguing music]
[front door slams]
[gasps] Hey!
There's the birthday boy.
Hello.
What's wrong?
Elias: Oh, he's just
a little hungry, right, champ?
You get yourself
a cheeseburger and some cake,
you're gonna perk right up.
Okay, Daddy.
Miss Parsons: Come.
Let's get you something to eat
and we'll find your friends.
Everybody is waiting to
celebrate you for your birthday.
Look!
One, two, three!
[Elias sighs]
He missed half the party.
Uh, the doctors need
to run some more tests.
Tests? What tests?
I promise you,
he's gonna be fine.
He doesn't look fine.
No problems all year,
and now suddenly he's sick
to his stomach every day?
Just a temporary reaction
to the new seizure medication.
Hey, let's go
and enjoy the party, though.
It's a really nice turnout, huh?
You're lying to me.
You seem a little agitated, darling.
Do you need me
to go and get your pills?
Or maybe, um, you need a few
more days back at the clinic?
Nice, quiet room, get some rest,
talk to someone?
Bill: There he is!
I was beginning to wonder if
our new director of operations
was too good to hobnob
with the hoi polloi.
[chuckles] Bill. Hey,
you're looking a little light.
Come on. I'll top you off.
[ominous music]
[children screaming]
Boy: He's a b*mb!
Jason's a b*mb!
He's gonna explode! Get away!
- [Geiger counter clicking]
- Run away, run away!
[hushed murmuring]
Oh, my God.
Are you okay, honey?
What's wrong?
Jason: We were playing
in the b*mb shelter.
I didn't mean to scare anyone.
What do you mean?
[clicking]
What is...
Mommy, I don't feel good.
[♪]
[guests gasping]
[♪]
[tense music]
[car approaching]
[car door slams]
[front door opens, closes]
Where is he?
Elias: He'll be fine.
What do you mean, fine?
Elias: Oh, Pam...
Why couldn't I stay
with him at the clinic?
They had to move him
to a restricted ward
so they could
treat him properly.
Treat him for what?
Well,
it's-- it's hard to explain.
Uh, um, very technical.
I don-- I don't even
fully understand.
Well, when can I see him?
Well, they wanna keep him
for a few extra days
so they can
monitor his progress.
But I promise you,
he's feeling much better.
He'll be home soon.
And-- [forced chuckle]
the-- the doctors,
they said it was only a virus.
A virus?
He was bleeding and
his hair came off in my hand.
- Calm down.
- What--
Has he been
exposed to radiation?
That's absurd. What, because
of the old Geiger counter?
That thing,
that goes off for no reason.
Are they doing
some kind of radiation therapy?
He-- he's getting
the best possible care, Pam.
How can you say that?
You saw him at the party.
He could barely stay awake.
I mean, he's not himself.
He hasn't been for weeks.
Well, experimental therapies,
they have side effects.
You know,
and he's a sick kid, Pam.
You are the ones
making him sick!
- [Elias sighs]
- I'm not gonna let you
use him like a guinea pig.
I want another opinion
outside of the company.
And I'm gonna take him some--
[♪]
You're not taking him anywhere.
He's gonna complete his course
of treatment at the clinic.
End of discussion.
And if you do anything
to undo the progress
that we have made so far,
I-- [grunts]
What? You'll what?
I'll divorce you
and take full custody of Jason,
and you will
never see him again.
You wouldn't do that.
Come on, no judge would
even let you do that.
Um, who do you think
they're gonna side with?
A pillar
of the business community,
or a former lounge singer who
takes psychiatric medication
ever since she nearly
drowned her baby?
What happened to you?
Um, I need to get back to work,
and you need to go to sleep.
The gala is this weekend.
I'm the keynote speaker.
There are some
very important investors
who are gonna be there,
and I need to walk in
with my wife on my arm,
looking healthy and rested.
And look-- [sighs]

Man: Elias! [indistinct]
- Ah!
- Congratulations.
Excuse me.
Dr. Landau.
Ah, Mrs. Wittering.
What a pleasure
to see you looking so well.
Thank you. I'm glad to see
you're feeling better.
[exhales]
How's Jason doing?
Elias said that
he's recovering well, but...
I haven't been able to see him.
Yes, well, uh,
it shouldn't be long.
Just being... cautious.
Big night for your husband.
Is Dr. Valentine here?
He, um--
he should be along
a little later.
Would you be a doll and
fetch me another Manhattan?
I'm parched.
Of course.
[ominous music]
May I have this dance?
[upbeat jazz playing]
I-- I said
some things the other day
I desperately wish
I could take back.
Obviously with
confidentiality requirements,
I haven't been able
to share things with you
that I wish I could have.
But that all changes tonight.
I just hope that once
everything's been made clear,
you'll understand
how much I love our family.
Because I love you, Pam.
And Jason, so very much.
And you have no idea the gift
that you have given the world.
What are you saying?
Host: Ladies and gentlemen,
if you'll please
take your seats.
The program will begin shortly.
That's my cue.
I better freshen up.
I don't wanna miss
a minute of your speech.
Host: Our keynote speaker
moved here
a little over four years
ago from our New York office,
where he was a junior sales
manager for household products.
- [audience laughter]
- And in that brief time,
he has become much, much more.
Upon joining our R&D division,
he completely
transformed the department,
heralding a wave of innovation
in our lab sciences group.
Tonight, he'll be sharing
some of that cutting-edge work
with all of you
for the very first time.
Please join me in welcoming
a rising star in
the Bellflower family,
Elias Wittering.
[applause]
Deeply appreciate it.
Thank you. Thank you all
for coming out tonight.
Um, less than two years ago,
we stood at the precipice
of nuclear w*r
with the Soviet Union.
Or, to put
a finer point on it,
the total annihilation
of life on Earth.
In the months and years since,
the bellicose rhetoric
between our two nations
has only increased.
As we speak, the Russians
have a nuclear arsenal
pointed at our cities,
and we theirs,
a grim reality which sparked
an existential question
among our team here
at Bellflower:
how do we prepare for
what is inevitable?
Well, as it stands, uh,
there is only one creature
on Earth
who can survive
an atomic blast.
[laughter]
Well, it's not so funny
when one of those little buggers
scuttles out
from under the stove,
right, ladies? [chuckles]
Uh, but we allowed
ourselves to wonder,
what if we could survive
this eventuality as well?
Fortify humans to survive,
and yes, even to thrive,
on the surface
of an irradiated Earth.
Science fiction?
Once, maybe, but not anymore.
After years
of rigorous experimentation,
our team has managed to
replicate the cellular process
that enables a c*ck
to withstand radioactive fallout
in a human being.
[hushed murmuring]
Since undergoing treatment
in this very building,
our Phase One test subject
has developed a cellular matrix
capable of hyperproliferation
far beyond normal thresholds.
Uncanny levels of resilience
to radioactive bombardment.
In the same way
that pruning a tree
can
paradoxically stimulate it,
this subject,
trauma actually
makes him stronger.
In fact, it could spur
accelerated physical growth,
which is why we are currently
developing a technique
to harvest his DNA,
the molecule that
carries genetic information.
- [phone ringing]
- And with rigorous effort,
we believe we are
only three years away
from being able to replicate
these results in others.
Concurrently, we are
proceeding with Phase Two.
More than 100 new subjects have
received in-utero inoculations,
and while none
of the resultant offspring
have fared as well as Subject J,
still, each trial has
yielded critical new data.
[♪]
Our belief is
that these advances
will redefine
what it means to be human
and ensure a safe
and prosperous
future for all mankind.
[machines beeping, whirring]
Imagine: a future where
no one need fear the b*mb.
[baby fussing]
A future filled
with hope and progress,
where Bellflower's bold
innovations reshape the world.
This is the future
that we will build together.
Thank you.
[applause]
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Where the hell is Pam?
[ominous music]
[muffled crying]
[♪]
Pam: Jason?
- [snarling]
- [Pam yelps]
[growling, thrashing]
[dramatic music]
[♪]
Valentine: I wouldn't do that.
What are you doing here, Pam?
I am taking my son.
You know
I can't let you do that.
Jason is a very fragile boy.
He requires regular infusions
of chemicals
and medications
only we can provide.
Deprive him of treatment,
and he'll die.
You're lying.
You've been lying
to me all along.
Fine.
Let's say Jason does
survive on the outside.
What about you?
Me?
You've been on experimental
mood stabilizers for years.
It's likely already
altered your brain chemistry.
Stop now, the side effects
would be debilitating at best.
I don't believe you.
Valentine: Pam.
You couldn't even take care
of him when he was a baby.
What makes you think you're
any more fit to be a mother now?
I'm only trying
to help you, Pam.
Bellflower takes care of--
- [drill whirring]
- [Valentine shouts]
- [whirring]
- [gagging]
[shouts]
[♪]
[whirring stops]
- Jason: Mommy?
- It's okay, honey.
Just hold on
to Mommy tight, okay?
I got you.
[tense music]
[♪]
Take it. I'll tell them
you stole it. My car is outside.
I didn't know. Not everything.
- I'm sorry.
- Elias: Pam?
Go!
- [door opens]
- Elias: Pam?
[door closes]
Pam! Pam!
- Did you see her?
- She's not here.
[♪]
Where's Daddy?
Daddy was hurting you, sweetheart.
But I promise from now on
I'm never gonna let anyone
hurt you ever again, okay?
Why don't you lie down
and try to get some sleep, okay?
Okay, Mommy.
