[distorted male voice on intercom]
I'm Anna Troyev, the art therapy instructor.
[buzzer]
Arms up.
I trust we won't go through this every day.
Male voice: Anna?
Welcome.
Are you ready for your first day?
I think so.
Please.
Do you live far?
Somewhat, but it's worth it.
I've always wanted to use art to help people.
Wonderful.
Please.
This way.
Those are our security procedures.
Learn them backwards and forwards.
Most of our patients are quite docile, but others..
Doctor, it's Leena.
She's not in her room, nobody can find her.
[speaking in Estonian]
Lock it.
[alarm sounds]
Full on lock out!
[alarm sounds]
Who is Leena?
Our most dangerous patient.
In fact, she's the reason for the opening you're filling.
Your predecessor underestimated her and ignored protocol.
It did not end well.
Listen to me.
Do not leave this room.
Don't worry, you'll be safe here
and I'll come back after we found her.
Please, please.
Hello there.
Does your mom or dad work here?
Could I see?
Is that me?
That's very good.
I'm Anna.
What's your name?
Leena.
You didn't a-answer me before.
Do your parents work here?
Why would you think that?
- Because you're.. - I'm what?
[door buzzes]
Leena..
[speaking in Estonian]
Put it down.
Leena, put it down now.
Anna: You didn't tell me she was a child.
Dr. Novotny: It's because she's not.
Leena suffers from a gland disorder.
Which causes proportional dwarfism,
essentially halting her growth around age ten.
Make no mistake, Leena may look like a child,
but she is a grown woman.
31 to be exact.
When Leena first arrived, she struggled so hard against
her restraints that she would bleed severely.
It was a lesson for all of us on the depths of her
will to be free.
Much of Leena's early life was spent doing whatever she
could to survive.
But she never grew older, at least not on the outside.
Imagine, going through your whole life
with the world only seeing a child.
It is very important that you do not see her in that way.
Leena uses her affliction as much as she suffers from it.
She's an exceptional con artist.
Two years ago, Leena wormed her way into this family
by posing as a runaway.
This family took her in, they fed her, they clothed her.
Normally, Leena would simply steal whatever she could and
disappear, but this time she...
Well, let me put it this way, she lives here now.
Idti.
[screaming]
Idti!
She does that.
Girl on TV: How much longer we got, daddy?
Man on TV: You have a few minutes, darling.

Girl on TV: No, daddy, I know you by heart.
You're inside my heart.
Man on TV: We're going to be brave, aren't we?
Girl on TV: Yes, daddy.
Man on TV: But this is gonna be our hardest battle.
Leena; Hello, Dmitri.
You're on time.
It's perfect.
I can't tie these myself.
I want to do something nice for you.
You can come in.
Yeah. Yeah.

Russia and passed her off as her own child until Esther
managed to escape.
We haven't gotten many specifics yet.
Perhaps when she's feeling safer, she can shed some more
light on what she's been through.
We have a child therapist that she'll be working with.
Good.
But what she needs right now is her family.

Well, of course she's different.
Dr. Segar: She has an accent now.
Is that unusual, considering where she's been?
Dr. Segar: Not necessarily, she was there a long time
when her speech was still developing.
But I will tell you, she's in far better shape
intellectually and emotionally than I would expect.
Tricia: That's good, right?
Dr. Segar: I did also notice some inconsistencies.
For example, she said that was Sydney.
Sydney was a macaw, bright orange and four times the size.
Yet, today, she addressed this bird as Sydney
with complete confidence.

Why, because of what the illegal immigrant fugitive
mental patient said?
Good luck with that.
This is America.
People like me matter.
And if you're not Esther, ah, it just means
Esther's missing again.
Mom has a problem with that.
I don't.
See you later, freak.
You are gonna sleep like a fucking baby tonight.
I made roast lamb with rosemary and tapenade.
And I know, Esther doesn't like it.
So I made your favorite.
Oh, just like the old days.
I'm really excited about going into the city tomorrow.
I'm gonna show the gallery what I've been working on.
That sounds wonderful.
Well, it's all thanks to you.
Oh.
I rediscovered the joy I once felt doing what I loved.
I feel like a kid again.
Do you wanna come?
I would love to!
Oh, Esther and I already have plans.
Oh.
What plans?
It's a surprise.
Okay.
Well, another time then.
It's great that you're painting again, dad.
Well, yeah.
May I be excused?
Oh, don't forget your.. You can eat upstairs, it's okay.
Honey, hey, what's wrong?
Dad, she's fine.
Just give her some space.
She's fine.
Yeah.
She's probably tired from all that piano playing.
[knocking]
Can I come in?
Mm-hmm.
Are you okay?
What happened down there?
I, uh, I don't really like mummy's cooking.
[laughs]
Can you keep a secret.
I'm not crazy about it either.
Oh, listen, um, night time's my favorite time to paint.
Do you, you wanna come join me?
Yes, I would love to.
I'll see you downstairs.

This is a such a great space.
I'm glad you like it.
Every artist needs a space to let their inner weirdo out.
We get to see beauty, passion,
where others don't even know to look.
I really like that.
So much paint.
Yeah, I'm a messy painter.
Allen: Drives your mother crazy.
I think I'm, I think I'm done for the night.
Just turn the lights off.
Have a good night.

You are talented.
He is something, isn't he?
Are you so utterly delusional to think that
he would want you?
"Surprise, I'm not your daughter, I'm a mutant grifter."
He would be as repulsed by you as I suspect
most men are.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go upstairs
and fuck my husband.
He really is a new man since you came back.
Thanks for that.

Argh!
I think Esther's really bummed about not coming to the
gallery with me.
Listen, I love that you and Esther have painting in common.
I just, I don't have anything like that with her.
I was hoping that I could spend the day with her
and maybe we could find something to share.
Plus it would be good for you to be focused, right?
I mean if Sals likes what he sees then, maybe you get a show
and you get back out there.
Yeah, okay.
We're not hurting, are we?
No, no.
Not at all.
I.. You are a great painter.
People miss seeing your work.
Thank you.
Is that bacon?
Oh, it's heaven!
Good morning, daddy.
Crepe?
Yes, please.
Allen: Is there anything you can't do?
Mummy?
Tricia: Oh, no, thanks.
I'm gonna make my usual-- Smoothie?
Leena: Greek yogurt, kale, flax seeds and lemon juice.
Just the way you like it.
Try it.
I'm-I'm not really that hungry.
I'll-I'll have it.
Here.
No, this is special, just for mummy.
I made it for you.
Oh, sweetie, that's so nice of you.
But I prefer to make my own.
Allen: Tricia, come on.
Try it.
Good.
Delicious
Thank you.
[choking]
Tricia, you okay?
I'm good.
Allen: Yeah?
Allen: I know you wanted to come with me.
But I think it'll be really good for you to spend the day
with your mom.
I wanted to show you something, though.
Here.
It's the one in the center.
Dean at Woodley is a friend of mine.
Woodley is the best art school in the country.
You're scary good, Esther.
Can I show it to them?
I would love it.
Thank you.
Can you bring this up to the platform.
I'm just gonna get some coffee.
Just for mom and dad.
Mm-hmm.
Allen: Okay. I'll see you up there.

Esther's behavior has been so erratic since she got back.
To be honest, it's been really hard.
I mean there's constant lying
and these outbursts of anger and...
Sometimes she even jokes about hurting herself
and I don't think she's really joking.
You have her in therapy?
Tricia: Yes, yes.

Get up.

Dr. Segar: The fire took everything from Esther.
Her home, her family.
The whole situation is so tragic.
It's horrifying.
Officer Leahy: I know.
As if Esther hasn't been through enough already.
Abducted, and now an orphan.
With no family to take her in?
What will happen now?
Dr. Segar: I've reached out to a reputable adoption agency.
I'm confident we'll find a home where Esther can get the
support and love she deserves.
After all who wouldn't want to adopt her?
