He finds an abandoned and isolated cabin where he plans to kill his daughters, but the children are saved by a dark ghostly image. After five years of searching and depleting his savings, Jeffrey's twin brother, Lucas, finds the children that were raised without social interaction and claim that they have been raised by 'Mama'. Lucas disputes the custody with the children's Great Aunt but Dr. Dreyfuss, who is working with the girls, helps Lucas get custody of the girls so that he can still have access to them.

apartment are suitable for the raising of 2 children.

- Let alone, 2 children with a very special needs.

- How many kid did you raise, Jean?

Not as many as you, Lucas.

Of couse she wants the girls, Lucas.

Stand on her shoes first.

She can't just sweep in, and take them.

They are not hers to take.

I'm sure that's not entirely fair.

I'll tell you, what's not fair.

It's not fair is she gets to buy my nieces.

Is that really such a bad thing?

- What?

- Annabel plays in the band..

You draw pictures for a living.

Where do you live? Do you have room for

children in your life? I mean, really..

What are you saying, Gerald?

When it comes to the girls' welfare..

Family Court judge is pretty much

oblige to act on my recommendation.

And right now, I'll be lying if I didn't

say it was a slam dunk for Ms. Podolski.

But the truth is..

I don't want them living on the other

side of the country anymore than you do.

So, we can realy really help each other out

right now. You want the girls..

- I need continued access to them.

- What are we gonna do?

This house, courtesy of the Institute,

is used for case studies. Rent-free.

- You move to the house, you get the girls.

- This is a joke, right?

Mr. Desange, is your brother still alive?

Oh, son of a b*tch.

- Look, Jean..

- No.

I just wanna see them.

That's all.

You'll see them. I mean, you've got

visitation, right? We respect that.

Right now, we need a little space.

Just work on this thing for a while.

Find their feet.

- Okay?

- Excuse me.

October the 26th.

Although she seems collaborative,

and is quickly recovering her language skills..

Victoria maybe repressing the memory

of her experience in the wilderness.

Okay, Victoria. Are you nice

and relax?

Are you feeling sleepy?

I want you to tell me the story again.

Can you tell me the story?

It was long time ago, a lady run away

from hospital for sad people.

She took her baby.

She jumped into the water.

How could you know that story, Victoria?

Did Mama tell you that story?

- She showed me.

- How?

In a dream.

Go on, Victoria.

And you can't tell anyone

where you are?

- Nope.

- That's just bizzare, dude.

Yeah, well. For the girls.

Few breaths away.

- So much deplorable.

- All families are the messed up.

Yeah, but this one messed up,

and it ends it.

I don't even have the chance

to screw them up. They came that way.

- Leave him.

- I can't.

You don't sign up for this, babe.

I can't do that to him.

Mrs. Sensitivity,

- You are in a rock band.

- I was in a rock band, yeah.

Hey, girls.

Hey, come here.

Mama.

No, don't call me that. I'm not your Mom.

I'm Annabel. You can call me that..
