I mean, she won't go to school,

and she'll barely eat anything.

Her father still lives

in the city?

Yeah.

Returning to the dynamics

of that environment

might be a helpful thing

for her,

even just for a visit.

I'd strongly consider

letting her go back.

Thank you for your time, Doctor.

The subject exhibits traits

I've seen in similar cases

of callous,

unemotional children.

Distinctive lack of remorse

and empathy.

Further study will be required

before I can determine

the presence of psychopathy.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

You're not even gonna touch

your ice cream?

Fine. Then I will.

I wanna go home.

Honey, this is our home now.

Why? 'Cause you and Daddy

can't get along?

It's a lot more complicated

than that, sweetie.

It's your fault.

Claire...

You're always so busy

with your stupid writing.

No wonder he hates you.

I'm gonna go take care

of the check.

What have you got there?

Give her back.

A pretty girl like you

should have a nice, new doll,

not an ugly, old one

like this.

- She's not ugly.

- Well, look at her.

She's practically falling apart.

I tell you what.

I bet I have a new one

in the back room.

Why don't we throw this one

away, and I'll go get her?

Give her back!

Claire!

I am so sorry.

What is wrong... Claire!

I'm sorry.

I think we should

talk about this, don't you?

She's a murderer!

- What are you talking about?

- Your daughter!

I don't... What?

A child trampled through

my garden last night.

Janine...

I saw the way

she looked at them.

My babies wouldn't hurt anybody,

and now they're dead,

and she killed them!

Okay, well, I'm sorry,

but I can assure you

that my daughter had absolutely

nothing to do with your cats.

Excuse me.

Good night, Rose.

Good night, Hank.

Someone there?

- Hey, Daddy.

- It's Daddy's little girl.

Oh, my God, I've missed you.

Bedtime is at 8:
30

and no sugar after 6:00.

Yeah, I know.

I've done this before.

Just keep an eye on her, okay?

Ready to go, sweetheart?

Okay, you keep warm, all right?

I love you.

Well, that's a nice house.

How much did you put down?

Don't.

I bet you could get some

good money if you flipped it.

Jonathan, please.

There's a unit that opened up

two floors down from me.

Earl even said

he'd waive the deposit.

Look, just take care of her,

okay?

Okay.

Looks like there's a leak

in one of your fittings.

There's something else.

- What's that?

- You know these people?

No.

No, they must be the people

that used to live here.

That looks like

a mueca quitapena.

A what?

Mueca quitapena.

The doll.

You don't see them here

in the States much.

They're not usually that big.

My daughter actually
