So you see, I may have
written a book on parenting,

but I don't have
it all figured out.

Kristine Barnett, you're under
arrest for child neglect,

the abandonment of a dependent,
and conspiracy to commit neglect.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Do you know who I am?

Do you know how many children I saved?

Previously,
on Good American Family...

This is
First Path Adoptions in Myrtle Beach.

We have a little girl here
who I think you will love.

This is Natalia.

Hi!

Are you gonna be
my mommy and daddy?

We usually just add the past medical
expenses onto the other fees,

if that works for you.

We have to pay
for her surgeries?

We maxed out our credit
card just to get down here.

I hate baths.

How about you can stand in
the tub and I can wash your...

I said no!

Mommy, I'm so sorry.
Mommy, I'm so sorry.

Mommy, I'm sorry.

I get the tantrum...

Now, now, now! I wanna
go to the beach now!

...the whole running
thing, I mean, what was that?

Well, she's a kid. She didn't
just go out and buy a walker.

Did you give her Pop-Tarts
after she didn't eat her dinner?

It's not a big deal.

Wasn't a big deal then
why didn't you mention it?

- We're supposed to be on the same team.
- Don't do that. We are on the same team.

Hi, sweet pea. Do you
wanna get in and cuddle?

No. Not time yet.

He first came to
see me in the fall of 2019,

and when he showed
up, I'm not gonna lie,

I was... a little nervous.

My wife and kids are inside,
so it'll be quieter out here.

- Is this okay?
- Perfect.

Okay.

- Mind if I...
- Oh, so, uh, we're doing that?

Uh, it won't bite.

I mean, yeah, I... I guess
it's, uh... it's fine.

I thought you guys
might like some pop.

Uh, Detective Drysdale, this
is my... my wife Jennifer.

- This is, uh, Wyatt.
- Thank you.

- Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Barnett.
- Likewise.

So, I'll leave you to it?

Yeah.

- Love you.
- Yeah.

- She seems nice.
- The best.

How long you two been married?

A couple years, but, you
know, we're still, uh,

full-on honeymoon phase.

You know, she's, um...
she's the complete opposite

- of my first, so...
- Right.

Word is, it was a mean divorce.

Yeah, that's what I
thought this might be.

Um, listen, man, I...

Those things that Kristine says
about me that...

don't believe it, okay?

It's not true.
She's... she's a liar.

No, man. Listen, believe me,
you seem like a good guy.

And I've heard plenty
about how rough your ex is.

That's why I'm here,

to get it from
the horse himself.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, I mean, if that's the case,
then, uh, um, "neigh," I guess?

Now, I gather that
your boys are with her.

- Uh-huh.
- And you have a daughter too.

- Natalia, right?
- Mm-hmm.

She with your ex as well?

No, God no.

I mean, they
don't even speak.

I mean, you put
those two together,

it's like...

...fricking World
War Three, man.

Huh.

So, how did things between
your ex and Natalia turn ugly?

I don't
even know where to start.

- The beginning's always good.
- Okay.

To start at the beginning,

uh, Kristine is... is insane.

And she's also the...
basically, the devil.

But she's the worst
kind of devil, you know,

because she thinks
she's God's gift

to
the whole dang world.

How do you mean?

Do you know
what a savior complex is?

Sure.

Yeah, well,
that's, that's Kristine.

You know, she takes credit
for all of Jacob's success.

She does that with all
the kids she works with.

That's why we adopted
Natalia in the first place...

- What is this?
- ... so she could save her.

- When did you do this?
- When that didn't work out,

that's when the proverbial
crap hit the fan.

Mr. Barnett and I
spoke last week.

That's why we could
arrest you today.

Well, let me tell you something.

Don't believe anything
that man says.

I swear to God, he's
the real devil here.

This was 2010,

almost two weeks after
we brought Natalia home.

Natalia.

Natalia.

What are you doing, Mommy?

I thought I heard you
come in our room just now.

Just wanna check and
make sure you're okay.

Did you? Just come in our room?

I don't think so.

Nighttime isn't for
wandering, sweet pea.

It's for sleeping.

That's what I had been doing.

Can I hold Hercules
for a minute?

Why?

Just wanna give her a
checkup, like at the doctor.

We hate doctors.

Okay, not the doctor then.

- Just...
- Mom, Mom, stop.

- Natalia, just...
- Mom, no.

- Mommy! No.
- Natalia.

- Stop it! No, no!
- Shh!

Whoa. Whoa, whoa,
whoa. Hey, hey, hey.

- No, stop it!
- What's going on? What's going on?

Daddy, please. Tell Mommy
not to take Hercules.

I wasn't out of bed,
I promise. Please.

Don't worry, baby. Why would
Mommy want to take Hercules?

It was a misunderstanding.

I just wanted to make sure
that Hercules had enough hugs.

So, you do, uh...

Let's check.

Um, okay.

- So, honey...
- No.

It's okay, sweetheart.
Just... just real quick.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Mommy's just gonna...

And you didn't just
come in our room?

Is Mommy okay?

Y-Yes. Y...

She's just tired.
She's just tired.

You know what, we have
a big day tomorrow.

Mommy always puts ice
cream in our cereal

on the first day of school.

Will you tuck me
in again, Daddy?

Of course, I will,
sweetie. Of course, I will.

- Here's your Hercules, honey.
- Thank you, Daddy.

There you go. Okay.

You're
welcome, sweetie pie.

Kris, what the... what
the heck's going on?

She came in our room earlier, and
it looked like she had a knife.

But they're all here, so
I guess I must be crazy.

Dang it!

Oh, baby, I'm sorry. You okay?

Hey, let me see, let me see.

Hey, look, you're just...
Honey, you're just tired.

You... you're stressed,
and you had a bad dream.

- Come on, let's go to bed. Come on.
- No, it wasn't a bad dream.

I know what that feels
like. This wasn't that.

Hey, what's going
on, huh? Come on.

Talk to me.

I thought I saw something, and
then, no, it w... it wasn't.

Don't go there. I know
what you're doing.

Stress dreams feel really real.
That's all this was, okay?

You are not your
dad. You're not.

Okay, so say it was a stress
dream. That's almost worse.

I'm not myself with her.

I get frustrated so easy.
We're not connecting.

And, Michael, how am I supposed to
be her mother if I can't talk to her?

Do you hear yourself right now?

Do you remember this conversation that
we had about another one of our kids?

And look what you did there.

That kid's being
recruited by Princeton.

- Jake is special.
- So are you.

Heck, you're gonna be in the
papers because of what you can do.

This is a tough nut. Natalia
is a tough nut to crack.

But you will. You
are Kristine Barnett.

- Maybe I've lost my touch.
- Bulldink, okay?

You've been doing this
for 15 years, honey.

Nobody cares for kids like you do.
Nobody understands them better.

That's all Natalia is,
she's just another kid.

Another kid who
needs you, honey.

You're exhausted.

You've been taking
care of all of us.

Honey, you've been
taking care of me.

And that's my fault, okay?

I got... I got knocked out
flat by the Blanca thing.

I did, okay? But I...

Hey. Hey. I'm back.

I'm back, baby.

And I wanna take
care of you, okay?

What if you let me... what if you let me
take care of you for a little bit, huh?

What if we made this my
turn? Would that be nice?

Hmm, there she is.
There's my girl.

Mm.

Yeah. It could be nice.

I need my cow!

I know, baby. But if
we can't find her,

we're gonna have to come
up with another option.

- No!
- What about we talk about something?

What about our trip to Omaha?

I mean, it is called
Show and Tell, right?

No one does "Tell," Mom.

Well, maybe it needs
a rebranding then.

I wanna bring Bessie Cow, Mom.

When's the ice cream?

It's your sister's first day, not
yours. So, when she comes down.

- Right, then I'm gonna go get her.
- Morning, zoo crew.

Hey, am I in the paper?

Not yet, hot stuff.

Mom! Bessie?!

Did you check the laundry room?

No.

Pulled out a suit for you.

Yeah, I saw that.

I'm not sure why. It's
just a meet-and-greet.

- Hey, who's driving me?
- Me.

We're gonna get your
sister set up at school

and then run over to Jacob's
place for my session,

and then head out to IUPUI

for your interview with

Princeton.

- It's a meet-and-greet.
- With...

Princeton!

You guys are just
embarrassing yourselves.

- Enough.
- Natalia won't come out.

She says she's too tired because Mom
woke her up in the middle of the night.

Mommy! Bessie
Cow's not in here either.

It's okay. Hey, you
stay on cow patrol.

I'll go check on Natalia, okay?

Knock, knock, rise and shine.

Come in.

Ta-da.

Are those Ethan's?

I didn't like what Mommy picked.

Well, she just wants you to look nice
for your first-day photos, honey.

That dress is for a 5-year-old.

Did you at least ask Ethan
before you took his clothes?

I just...

I don't want everyone to
think I'm a dumb baby.

Honey, no one's
gonna think that, okay?

Look, when I... when I first met
you, I thought you were at least 45.

May... maybe 50 even.

I wish you were
taking me, Daddy.

Me too, kiddo.

But I got the boss' bosses coming
into the store tomorrow, you know?

So, I gotta get it all ready for them.

I know. But...

do you know what I do
when I have something

really scary at work like this?

I jump
the jitters out.

What?

- You do that at work?
- Yes, it helps get me outta my head.

Natalia.

What happened here?

Where's the head?

I was just playing with it.

You were...

You know, Ethan's been
looking all over for this.

Please, please don't
tell Mommy I broke it.

- Please don't tell. Please...
- Mike, we gotta motor.

Can you get Natalia's
registration folder?

- Yeah, we'll be right down, honey.
- Daddy, no. Daddy, please.

Daddy, please, Daddy, please don't tell
Mommy I broke it. Please don't tell Mommy.

- Please don't. Please don't.
- Hey, hey, hold on.

- Please don't tell, please.
- Hey, look. You're okay.

Take a breath.

You're okay.

Look at me.

I shouldn't do this, but
I promise I won't tell.

But you have to work

As soon as we saw
the photo, we fell in love.

We flew right down.

It was an emergency situation,
a child in need. We had to act.

But in this kind of adoption,

all personal information
is strictly confidential.

- It's called redacted.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, maybe.

I just... I'm not seeing
much that I can go on here.

I mean, this one's
not even in English.

That's her birth certificate.

Yeah, it just kind
of looks fake to me.

Oh, because it's a photocopy.

Okay, um, do you have
her school records?

It's withheld, too, because
it's all confidential.

So, where am I
supposed to put her?

Does this mean I don't
have to go to school?

No, sweet pea. We're gonna
get it straightened out.

Alright, so we're gonna
leave the swords at home next time,

foam or otherwise? Alright,
buddy, back to class.

Dr. Wachter, Kristine Barnett.

Wes and Ethan are in
third and first grade.

Of course. Such great kids.

So, we've just
adopted Natalia here.

- Trying to get her enrolled.
- Without any paperwork.

- What grade are you, sweetheart?
- A-plus.

- I bet.
- She's seven.

But we don't have records
from her previous school.

- It was a closed adoption.
- No problem, I've dealt with that before.

We can, uh, put her in first
until we can do some testing.

Do you have her vax records?

- Uh, everything is here.
- Ah, thank you.

Ah, you adopted
her in New Jersey?

No, South Carolina. Why?

The fax number here. My
mother-in-law's from Montclair.

I, uh, block every call
with a 201 area code.

Hmm.

Why'd they redact the
dates of the shots?

That... that I've never seen.

Oh, just being
thorough, I guess.

Privacy?

Natalia, do you remember

when the last time you had
some shots was, sweetheart?

- I don't like shots.
- Who does?

Well, is it okay for her to
start? It's getting late.

Well, I'm not sure these
will fly long-term,

but the state gives us a 20-day
grace period on vaccinations.

So, if you can get us the full
list over the next few weeks,

- we'll be cruising.
- Great.

So, you want Mommy
to walk us to class?

- Let's go.
- No, thank you, I'm a big girl.

- I can just go with you.
- Mm.

Okay, well, look at you.

So, we gotta get
in their heads, you know?

If I'm corporate, one thing
I am definitely checking

is that our top-selling SKUs are
well stocked on the floor, right?

So, right away, on the way back,
I noticed we're a little low

on the LG-65-LED-80-HNA
and the SAM-70-LCD-72-FHA.

Every dang time. It's scary.

You know, we don't speak SKU,
Mike. You've got that in English?

Sorry, humans. Translating.

The LG 65-inch and the Sam 70.

Oh. Oh, copy you.

For real though, man, shit like
that's why you're getting a promotion.

You're gonna jinx me.

Where... Now, where's the
wood? Where's the wood? Ah!

- Oh, God.
- Wow.

- Mike.
- So, so embarrassing.

Kristine made this her ringtone a
while back. I forgot to change it.

I hear that's how he won her heart, by
knowing the SKU to the Samsung 60-inch.

I'm never gonna live
this down, am I?

Hey babe, how'd it go at school?

Not great.
They almost didn't let her enroll.

What? Why?

Because all her
vax records were redacted.

Dr. Wachter said he's never
even seen that before.

- Okay, but they let her in, right?
- For now.

But also, Mike, all the records
were faxed from New Jersey.

Don't you think that's weird?

Uh, I don't know.
Why is that weird?

Because we adopted
her from South Carolina.

- So?
- So, why would a family from New Jersey

go to South Carolina to
put a kid up for adoption?

Uh, I don't know. Why
would a family from Indiana

adopt a kid from South Carolina?

Well, because that's where the
kid was, Mike, it's different.

Why is
this bothering you?

I-It's gonna be fine.
They let her in, right?

For now.

We have to get the actual
vax records though.

Okay, so you'll call
First Path, right?

Yeah, yeah. Fine.

I'll handle it.

I gotta go.

Wait till you see what I got you at
the junk store this time, Shawny.

Okay, sweetie, I have to run,
but I'll get that screwdriver

and we'll open up the rest
of it another time, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Shawny did great today.

Oh, well, this is her
nirvana.

Oh, hey. They called
me for a quote

- about the Jake's Place article.
- Oh!

I told them that you're
Indiana's own miracle worker.

Cute, right?

I just wish it would
come out already.

I want people to see
what we're doing here.

I know, I totally get it.

I mean, that's exactly how I
feel whenever I have a listing

that's ripe for a bidding
war. It's torture.

Trust me, this place
is gonna be huge.

You're gonna have more enrollments
than you know what to do with.

Mm...

From your lips.

Alright, enough belly
gazing. Gotta skedaddle.

Today is Jake's
Princeton interview.

How exciting. Good luck.

Go get 'em.

Call First Path Adoptions, Myrtle Beach.

Wheels up in 10, bud.

We're sorry.

You have reached a number
that has been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

"First Path Adoptions."

You okay, Mom?

Yeah, bud. Peachy.

Get packing up though.
We gotta scoot.

Hi,
it's Sandy. You know the drill.

Hi, Sandy. Kristine Barnett here.

You helped us adopt
Natalia Grace.

It's all going great.

Except today, when we went
to enroll her in school,

we were missing
some key paperwork.

So, call me back, would you?

Also, what in the blue
blazes is up with First Path?

Did they close?

Okay.

Princeton, here we come!

I'm primarily focused
on particle physics,

but right now I'm also taking a
class in philosophy and physics.

The direct nature of time,

probability of statistical
mechanics, that sort of thing.

I was a French major, so you'll
have to give me a little more...

- Contexte?
- S'il te plaît.

He speaks Arabic too.

Cool, so basically... well,
one thing we like to talk about

is how humans perceive
something like this.

- What do you think this is?
- Well, I know what that is. It's a pen.

Good guess.

But you're ignoring the millions
of molecules that go into this.

You're simplifying to see
what you need out of a pen

instead of what it actually is.

It's what we do as humans. You
know, we assign meaning to objects.

It's efficient, but that doesn't mean
it's the actual truth of the object.

So, you're telling
me that's not a pen?

So then, what about me? Am I me?

You're definitely you.

You just may not be
who you think you are.

Whoa. See, now that
is très French.

Oh.

Real quick.

Hello.

Hi, Sandy. Thanks for
returning my call.

Listen, your
daughter is gonna be just fine.

'Kay? She's, she's one of the lucky
ones. Just... Best leave it at that.

Wait, what? What do you mean?

If you just stop asking questions,
you probably won't be implicated.

I... I'm sorry?
Implicated for what?

- What are you talking about?
- That's all I can say.

Don't call me again.

- Looks nice, right?
- Yeah, it's beautiful.

Sorry about that. Work stuff.

Oh, no worries. We were
just talking about housing.

So, since Jacob would be
transferring in as a sophomore,

- he would be assigned residential...
- Jake is 12.

He can't live on his own.

Mom, seriously?

This is your brothers' school.

The problem is, uh, it
wasn't just one kid.

She rammed several
students with her walker.

But all the kids are okay.

Well, they're just
shaken up a little bit.

But Mrs. Barnett, I had to
leave Running Club for this.

And I will admit that I
feel a bit... betrayed.

Betrayed? How so?

Well, when we agreed to
take Natalia this morning,

you neglected to mention her
severe behavioral issues.

Well, because there
hasn't been any.

- No troubling behavior at home, or...?
- No.

Just the usual temper tantrum
or some cranky kid stuff.

And I have to ask you...
well, you may not know,

because you were
at Running Club.

What was going on
before this happened?

Were the kids teasing her?

Are you saying the children
deserved to be hurt?

No, but I find it hard
to believe that Natalia

just started randomly ramming
her walker into kids unprovoked.

As I'm sure you're aware,
children with disabilities

are often the
victims of bullying.

Mm-hmm, although from what I understand,
it was Natalia who was doing the bullying.

What about her previous
family, her past schools?

Are you aware of issues there?

Well, as we established this morning,
I don't have her school records.

- I'm working on getting them.
- Okay.

Well...

perhaps it would be
better if we wait

until we have some more
information on Natalia

for her to come back to school.

You're suspending
her on her first day?

Do you know how destabilizing
that'll be for her

while she's in the middle
of this massive transition?

I'm sorry, but I'm an
advocate for kids in need.

And if Natalia is having
behavioral issues, this is why.

Because of all that's
been done to her.

If it's helpful to you,
I'd be happy to come in

and have a workshop for your faculty
on working with kids with disabilities.

Thank
you, that's so kind.

But, uh, you know, we
don't have to consider this

a, a suspension, per se.

This is an opportunity for us to get
some more information and reassess.

It might just be that we
have her in the wrong grade.

Can we talk about what
happened at school today, sweet pea?

I know you would never hurt
anybody on purpose, Natalia.

A kid must have done
something to you.

Did someone do something?

I'm trying to talk
to you, sweetie.

I should've worn something else.

Did someone say something mean?

You know, you can
tell me anything.

And that goes for whatever...
stuff now, or stuff that happened

before you came to us
with your other family.

Where was that, anyway?

Were you in South Carolina,

or did you maybe take
a trip from New Jersey?

I thought you weren't allowed to
ask questions because it's closed.

We're family.

I'm allowed to ask you anything,
and you're allowed to tell me.

Okay? Anything you want.

I don't remember.

Natalia, stop that.
It's dangerous.

Were you happy with
your other family?

Did something happen
there that made you sad?

I was just sad to leave them.

Natalia!

Natalia Grace! Don't
you ever do that again!

Do you know how
dangerous that was?!

"First Path
Falsifying Adoptions."

We had two
beautiful weeks with Miguel

before they told us there
was a custodial issue

and they took him back...

They promised our
baby to two other families.

We never got
the baby they promised us.

Now, we might lose our house.

...a nd ever since
that second adoption fell through,

my wife is a wreck.

Cries all the time,
can't get off the sofa.

They destroyed her!

Then two
weeks before the due date,

they said our birth mother
was shot and killed...

My name is Justine.

- I live outside Indianapolis.
- Oh.

- And First Path ruined my life too.
- Mom, what's up?

Tough crossword tonight.

Sorry for the Rando DM.

I adopted a child
from First Path too.

I live near you and
was wondering...

What's up, fam jam?

Hi.

How's everybody doing?

- Mm!
- Mwah! Mm.

How was Princeton?

Kid's a shoe-in.

And Natalia? Everything go
smoothly once you got her settled?

She did great.

Awesome. She sleeping?

Yeah, they went down
about an hour ago.

Just us chickens now.

I might just go take a
little peek in on her.

- Okay.
- Oh, so, uh, Jenn

had a little shower at work,
and she refused the leftovers.

Guys! Red velvet!

- Oh.
- Just sayin'.

- Don't stay up too late.
- Ooh. Okay.

Maniacs.

Red velvet. Oh.

- No.
- Oh.

Looks like someone murdered it.

Not even
Wes would eat that.

Have a cookie.

So, how come you didn't tell Dad that
Natalia got kicked out of school?

Did you see how happy
your dad was just now?

I just believe he
deserves to stay that way.

What about you, though?
You don't seem happy.

What makes you say that?

Well, you basically ate
all the cookies yourself.

And now it looks like you're
gonna eat the cake, too?

Also, you almost
screwed up my interview

after trying to make
me wear a suit to it.

Sorry...

that I had to keep
running out like that.

I just...

It's okay. I actually had fun.

I hope I get in, don't you?

You deserve to be happy, too.

I'm just not sure I'm ready to
give you up to dorm life yet.

I'm going in.

Oh, gosh.

Hi there.

Happy to tell you about my
experience with First Path.

The headline is, because
of those criminals,

I had to give my daughter back.

I'm
so sorry. What happened?

I'll tell you, but not online.

I'm not at liberty
to speak freely.

I just feel like
she's the missing puzzle piece

in our family, you know?

Just, just fits
right in.

Do you remember when Wes
used to sleep sideways?

Like with his head on
our bellies like this?

Natalia does the
same thing with me.

It is so cute. It kills me.

Uh, can you take her to
work with you tomorrow?

Doesn't she have school?

Well, turns out they
need the full vax chart

before she can go back, so
it's just a, a red tape thing.

Well, that sucks.

Did you call First Path?
Are they gonna send it?

Yeah, yeah, it'll be fine.

I just... I have a lot
of students tomorrow,

so I can't take her.

Oh, uh, tomorrow's
tough for me, too.

I have corporate
coming, so I don't...

I could bring her to my mom's.

Uh, you know, no.

Uh, I will get one of the
guys at work to watch her,

and we'll just say it's Take
Your Daughter to Work Day.

- It'll be fun.
- Perfect.

There she is.

Hi. Daddy, it's me.

It's you!

Well, there's...
there's a lot of yous.

There's one, two, three, four...
I can't even count that much.

I love it. So many Natalias!

There's one. That's my
favorite one right there.

- I like this one.
- Wait, what about her?

Wow, Mike, you didn't
tell me Taylor Swift

was coming into the store today.

Can I get a picture?
Snap, snap, snap, snap.

So, Natalia, this
is my friend Jenn.

- Hi.
- And you are gonna hang out with her

while I go meet with
my bosses, cool?

Can't I just stay
with you, Daddy?

Oh, I get it. Your
dad's the coolest.

Do you want to hear a secret?

I've
got a baby in here.

That's kind of obvious.

Well,
that's not the secret.

Have you ever heard of cravings?

Mm-mm.

Cravings mean I'm always
hungry for sweet treats.

So, why don't we let your dad
go get his big fancy promotion,

and you and me,
we can go pig out.

How do donuts sound?

Donuts sound like,
"Eat me, eat me now."

That is an incredible
impression.

We should probably find out what
cocoa sounds like too, right?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Bye, Daddy.
- Have fun, sweetie.

Daddy's gonna miss you.

We really thought we had found
our daughter, but then...

Okay, the story they gave
us was that her mom died

and her dad and
stepmom neglected her.

It was like Cinderella, only I
got to be the fairy godmother.

And how'd you find
out that wasn't true?

Molly started
to learn English.

She started saying stuff
like, "You're not my mom."

Like, "I miss my real mom."

In general, she was harder on me
than she was on Dale, my husband.

Her mom died when she was
so young... we thought.

But her English got better,
her stories got more specific,

like details about
her mom's cooking.

And one day, her mom told her she
got picked to go to boarding school.

But instead of taking her to
school, they took her to us.

Do you think First Path
was doing this a lot?

Not always this.

Sometimes they'd make
fake birth certificates

or health records.

Anything to make kids more
appealing to adopted families.

It's pure evil.

We're part of a class action suit,
that's why I couldn't talk to you online.

So, you think your
daughter might be...

Maybe.

I don't know.

You should get a lawyer.

We gave all our
savings to First Path.

Well, reputable agencies
hate places like First Path.

Did you ever work with another agency?
They might be able to help you.

You're okay.

You're okay.

Jump, jump, jump.

Hey.

Uh, yeah, come on.

Nice to see ya.

The whole reason we
did this was to help Natalia,

to save a child.

So, the thought that I
would somehow be complicit

in taking her from her
family, I'd be devastated.

I can only imagine the
pain you must have been in

thinking you might
be losing her.

But, here's what makes me
feel better, Mrs. Barnett.

First, from what I can
see in our database,

Natalia came to the U.S. through
New Hope Christian Services.

They're a good, reputable agency.
No history of trafficking.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

And second, and this is
good news for your family

and sad news for...

I don't know, the
world, I guess.

Um, it would be unusual
in a country like Ukraine

for a child like your daughter
to be trafficked for adoption.

Kids with disabilities
aren't usually targeted.

They aren't considered,
um... attractive.

What is more common is for
hospitals to pressure moms

into giving up these kids
into state orphanages.

Mm... they don't
live happy lives.

And you think that's what
happened with Natalia?

That would be my suspicion.

Okay.

My poor girl.

We're called upon to visit
orphans and widows in their afflictions.

Amen.

And thank you for
squeezing me in so quick.

Oh, of course.
Anything I can do.

- Actually, there is one more thing.
- Hm?

We need to get her school
records to get her back in class.

Do you see those?

I can print these and I can
redact the personal info.

Or you could just leave it.

We are dying to know
more about our girl.

I wish I could.

You could go get a pop
or go to the bathroom.

Forget to put your
computer to sleep.

You're fun.

Uh, but maybe I just print it
and I, I redact the secret stuff.

- That works too.
- Mm-hmm.

All I've ever wanted was
a family and a job that I love.

And with my Circuit
crew, I get both.

Well, your fam's conversion
and sales per square foot

- are super strong.
- We have a, a going gag.

Any associate that gets their
average up to two for the quarter,

I'll do a back flip
up at the register.

I'm not sure that jives
with corporate policy,

but I'd love to see it.

Man, that was not a
smart bet on my part.

I got some strivers
on, uh, this team.

Well, the numbers sure show it.

You know, I'm not sure if you're
finding this at other stores,

but, um, we just cannot
keep the new L...

Um...

- The L... uh...
- You okay?

Yes, sorry. I...
I just remembered,

I forgot to send a PO
out on some Samsungs.

Hey, hey. Don't
sweat the tiny stuff.

Your numbers are really great.

- Okay, yeah.
- Let me tell you...

to be increasing
in sales right now

when everyone else is
plummeting, that's meaningful.

Okay, okay.

Which is why it sucks so hard

to let you know that we're
gonna need to close the store.

I know, I know. It's
a tough thing to hear.

It's a tough thing to say, too,

though I, uh, have the
routine down these days, so.

Here's what happens next.

Hold off on telling your
team until HR reaches out.

Then, you're gonna do a
fire sale, try to liquidate.

Alright, sweetie, here we go.

Hi.

- How was your day?
- Why are you in my room?

I went shopping.

You went shopping?
With... with what money?

I was excited. I got all
the paperwork sorted out,

so we're ready to
go back to school.

And I thought these
would be perfect

for Natalia's second first day.

I don't wanna go to school.

I know the first
day was hard, honey.

But we can start all over.

We can even retake
your pictures.

I don't wanna go to school!

I wanna go to work with Daddy!

It's okay. It's okay.

Sweetie, I'm sure you
were very helpful.

Daddy's been at that
job a long time.

He knows how to get by.

But, now he has an
even busier job.

- He got a big fancy promotion.
- Oh, wow.

Guess I should have shopped
even harder then, huh?

Congrats, babe.

Eh, you know.

It's... It's not...
not a big thing.

Hey, Val, you okay?

Oh, no, did I wake you?

I'm so sorry.

I thought for sure you'd
have seen the article.

About First Path?

What? No, what's First Path?

Here, listen. This is on
the front page, by the way.

Headline, "Genius at work."

And then a big honking
picture of Jacob!

- Michael, Michael, wake up!
- What, what, what?

- We're on the front page!
- What, what?

- Go ahead, Val.
- Okay, here we go.

"Jacob Barnett has
memorized pi to 200 digits.

"He taught himself algebra,

"geometry, trigonometry,
and calculus in two weeks.

He's 12."

- Yes! That's our boy!
- Yes!

And what does it say
about Jacob's Place?

Um...

Okay, let me see. Let me see.

Here we go,

"His mom even named
her daycare after him."

Okay, not bad.

So much for enrollment numbers.

Oh, come on.

No, no way. Jake's
the best PR you could get.

After this, people are gonna be
lining up for your advice, I swear.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, alright.

- Thanks, Val. I'll call you back.
- Bye.

I am proud of you. Come on.

You're in the paper there, you are.

What's going on?

Your brother's in the paper, bud.
You wanna run down and get it?

Cool.

- Got some great news, bud.
- Uh, what?

Ow!

- Mom, Mom!
- Ethan!

Mom!

- What is it, what?
- Ow, Mom.

Oh, what in the...

- Mom, Mom.
- What did she do?

- Who? What?
- Nothing. Never mind.

- Okay, let's just...
- What's going on here?

No, no, no, no, no. Don't
come out here with bare feet.

- Okay, hold on.
- Natalia put tacks.

Wait, what? Why do
you think she did it?

How would she even
have done this?

Because she's the one with
the cork board in her room.

Go ask her.

Why would she do that!

- Okay. Alright.
- Okay.

You two go get dressed
for school, please.

- Okay. Okay.
- Ow! Ow.

Look at me, don't look down.

Ready? One, two, three.

Ow!

- Knock-knock.
- Okay.

- Hello.
- Okay, Mom, did we have a date?

Uh, no. I just
brought some kringle

to celebrate Jake's
making the big time.

- What's happening here?
- Ethan stepped on a tack.

That Natalia put there.

What about that is funny, Mom?

Well, Ethan was
always a bit soft.

Maybe God saw a chance to
give him some calluses.

- Mom.
- Well, she said she didn't do it.

Go get dressed.

Of course, she says
she didn't do it.

Even if she did, who cares?
It's just a goofy kid prank.

For Pete's sake, Mike, will
you stop being so defensive?

How are we supposed to help her if
you don't admit there's an issue?

She's troubled.

- Michael is right.
- Wh... I am? What?

Now, that should
be in the paper.

It's no big whoop.
She's just a kid.

You're blowing the thing
up all out of proportion

like you always do.

You see problems
that don't exist.

I see problems that you
refuse to admit exist.

Could you please calm down and
find me something to cut this with?

Who
invited the mother?

What... What's going
on? What is it?

What?

Natalia?

Natalia!

Natalia!

Have you seen Natalia?

- She's not in her room?
- No.

Will you relax?
She's just a little girl.

Close the door!

Michael?

What? Wh-What happened?

She has hair.

Wait, what? What hair?

Down there!

I don't think she's
a little girl.

I want to help, Natalia.

I'm trying to understand.

Let's do this.

We're with Child Protective Services.

- What?
- There's been some concern

about the safety of the
children in your home.

Hey!

She has adult teeth.
There are signs of puberty.

I can tell that she's much
older than what she says.

The
photo isn't her!

She stole someone's identity!

- This is still our daughter.
- She's choosing to con us.

You're choosing to believe her.

I'm not pretending she's
a little girl anymore.

Barnett faces
eight counts of neglect

for abandoning her
adopted daughter

before fleeing to Canada.

Let's go.

Looks like you got everything
you need. Right, Natalia?

- Who did this to you?
- I'm fine.

I'm 22. I just look
young for my age.

I'm gonna need the number
for your dermatologist.

She's
destroying my life.

- It'll be fun.
- I said no!

She tricked me. She
said she was a kid.

How old are you?!

I did those things
because of you!

I wanna know what you
are gonna tell people

when they ask you who you are.

How do you plead?
