The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Page #2

Synopsis: Peyton Flanders (Rebecca De Mornay) seemed to be the perfect nanny, but secretly she was out to wreck the lives of the family she was supposed to be helping. Before becoming the nanny, Peyton had a miscarriage due to the stress caused by the death of her husband, Dr. Victor Mott (John de Lancie), and blamed it on Claire (the mother, played by Annabella Sciorra),. Claire suspects nothing, having never met Peyton before.

- I feel it kicking.

- You can?

- Ow! Ow!

- Keep her still.

I can't stop

this blood.

Call anesthesia.

I'm gonna operate.

Chest compressions are reducing.

We're losing him!

No!

Hold her down.

- He's gone.

- No.

- Anesthesiologist is on the way.

- We're prepping her for surgery.

Increase the drip

to 90.

Her pressure

is 80 over 40.

- She didn't touch it.

- Emergency hysterectomy.

She's been so depressed,

she won't talk. Let me try.

...against the late

Victor Mott's estate.

The suits were filed by four of the

women who claim they had been molested.

You have got to eat.

The investigation was dropped

when Dr. Mott was found dead...

from a self-inflicted

gunshot wound.

Claire Bartel has not filed a suit

although she was the first...

to accuse Mott of molesting

her during an exam.

I'll leave your food.

Her accusation prompted the other

women to come forward.

I'm coming up

to the back door.

I'm getting close

to the back door.

I am now entering...

the back door.

- Good morning, Solomon.

- Good morning.

Thank you.

You can't catch me, Daddy.

Hi, little baby.

Get back here. I gotcha!

Sorry, Mom.

Oh, don't cry,

baby.

Oh, yes,

that's a big boy.

Thank you, Solomon.

Don't cry, sweetheart.

Remember the rule at

the Better Day Society?

They said it's best if

you didn't handle the baby.

I'm sorry. I forgot.

- I only wanted to help.

- I know you did.

Thanks.

Ooo-ooo-ooo.

They're replacing the small greenhouses

at the botanical gardens.

- I thought I might get one of the frames.

- Let me guess.

You want to build

your own greenhouse.

Yeah! The frame's there,

the hardware's there.

All I'd have to do is erect it

and replace the glass.

Honey, don't you think

you're taking on too much?

Have you given any more

thought to hiring a nanny?

Honestly, I wouldn't

feel comfortable...

having any of the girls

I've interviewed take care of Joey.

Claire, it's not like

when we had Emma.

You don't need to do

everything yourself.

What about Solomon?

He could be our nanny.

Honey, I don't think

that Solomon...

would make

a very good nanny.

Why not?

Remember we had the talk about

what a special person Solomon is?

- Yeah.

- Well, there are just some things...

that he can't do.

What's gonna happen

to Solomon...

when Solomon

finishes painting the trim?

Well...

when he finishes painting,

we'll have to find something

else for him to do.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Hurry up, sweetheart.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

Mrs. Thompson?

Mrs. Thompson!

Thanks.

- Thanks for stopping.

- No problem.

- Here you go, sweetheart.

- Thanks, Mom.

Thanks. I think it's gonna rain later.

That was really nice of you.

- You're welcome.
