In the bleak mid-winter

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

There.

I don't know.

Let me see it darling.

Snow on snow

Do you like it?

I love it.

What am I looking at here?

That's Mommy, that's Daddy,

that's me, and that's...

Santa Claus, I know

him when I see him.

But where's your sister?

Are you angry with her?

Sweetheart?

There was no

more room on the paper.

In the bleak mid-winter

Long

Angel, tell Grandma the truth.

She makes Daddy angry,

she makes Mommy sad.

So sad that she cries.

And you, does she make you sad?

Sometimes.

What are you reading?

Oh this is an old story.

Older than you?

Yes, even older than me.

What kind of story is it?

It's a Christmas story.

Can you read it to me?

Oh I don't know, it's late.

And this one used to

give me nightmares.

That looks like Santa.

It is, or Saint Nicholas

as he used to be called.

So how's this a scary story?

In the bleak mid-winter

Long

Who's that?

Who's that?

That's Krampus.

You've never heard of Krampus?

Well Krampus is old, very old.

Old as time itself.

And just as Santa rewards

good little girls and boys,

Krampus punishes the bad ones.

That's not a true story.

Don't be so sure child.

As with many ancient stories,

the Krampus has passed from

legend into superstition.

But old and forgotten

things have a way of

ever so slowly creeping

back into our world.

Snow had fallen, snow on snow

Snow on snow

In the bleak mid-winter

Long

Ago

I got you!

No.

Yes Zoe, you're it!

Zoe's it, I got her!

What are you doing, Zoe?

Gross!

Don't touch it!

Why?

You're weird, stay

away from me, Zoe.

Yes Tristan, it was me.

It was me all along.

Strong for you,

my one true love.

Remember, with Christmas

around the corner.

It's extra important to

listen to your parents.

So you don't

end up on the naughty list.

Hey!

Turn it back!

What, you didn't hear me?

My love for you is

strong like a tiger.

Then kiss me, Tigress.

My love for you

flows like a river.

Like the mighty Amazon.

Like the ancient Nile of Egypt.

Laundry needs folding,

Now, move it!

Wow, what are you doing?

I'm gonna have my way with you.

That's rather fast.

Right.

What the hell?

Bed, now.

Ow, you're hurting me.

Shut up.

Hello?

Who's there?

Holy sh*t!

Teddy?

Dispatch, we have multiple DBs,

requesting back-up,

detectives and crime scene.

Room clear.

Room clear.

Fremont, we got a locked door.

Here you go, sweetheart.

We've got a foster child,

I'm not sure if she saw

or heard anything, though.

So far she's not talking.

Let a couple of

unis take her over

to the children's warden.

Mercy Immanuel Hospital.

Stewart's on her way there now.

Hope she can get

something out of her.

Okay.

And...

I need to call you back, bye.

How can I help you?

Dr. Rachel Stewart,

I called from the road,

I'm here for the Zoe

Weaver interview.

Right...

Sign here.

Dr. Stewart.

Hey Miles.

James, this is Dr. Stewart.

She helps us out,

from time to time.

I try to anyway.

My partner Detective Cegan.

Doctor.

Call me Rachel.

Dr. Stewart, Det. O'Connor?

Yes, that's us.

Tom Jennings,

Head of Pediatrics.

If you'd like to

follow me, please.

So is she talking yet?

It took us the

better part of an hour

to get her to tell us her name.

Shock?

Responsive, just

disinterested.

That's her.

Sitting by herself over there.

Let's go say hello.

It's your case detective, but,

I think we might have more luck

if I go talk to her

by myself first.

Go ahead, it's your show, doc.

Zoe, this is Dr. Stewart.

Rachel.

Dr. Stewart would like

to ask you a few questions.

Okay?

What kind of doctor are you?

I'm a child psychologist, so,

I'm the kind of doctor

that helps kids out

when they've been

through some scary stuff.

What's that?

What?

That.

Oh, I've had that

for a really long time.

Since I was probably

about your age.

So is it all right if I

ask you a few questions?

You want to know

about Katie and Teddy.

Yes.

I'd like to know what

happened to them.

Why?

They were bad, and

now they're gone.

How are they gone, Zoe?

He took them.

He took them because

they were bad.

He always comes

for the bad ones.

Who's he?

Zoe, who hurt your

foster parents?

I don't wanna talk anymore.

Now Zoe, you need

to answer the doctor.

No, it's okay.

It's okay we can

talk more later.

Do you need anything?

What?

Anything I can get you, uhm,

I don't know, toys or a book?

My dolls and my sewing kit.

I asked if I could bring them.

But they said no.

Sure.

Are they at the house?

In my room, under the bed.

I'll find them for you.

It was so nice meeting you, Zoe.

I'll see you later.

Well that was a short interview.

You sure you don't wanna

push a little harder?

Not yet.

Whatever she saw, she's

clearly traumatized.

We'll take it slow.

She'll open up when she's ready.

Let's hope so.

I'm going to need

access to the scene.

Why?

Zoe asked me to

pick up a few things.

You wanna take evidence

from my crime scene?

A little girl's

dolls are probably not

the smoking gun

you're looking for.

Ah, yeah.

Cozy I guess.

Well we found narcotics

in the master bedroom.

You think this

could be drug related?

I don't know.

At this point anything and

everything is possible.

First responders found the

girl in a room down the hall.

Well it's cheerful enough.

Yeah, seems to all be
