This Tempting Madness

Our minds are so fragile.

We think, because we can see and touch the world around us,

that we're in control.

But that control is so easily taken away.

No!

Mia? Mia, can you hear me?

- Okay. - ...as it is still

under investigation...

Don't let her hear. Shut that off.

Mia, you've suffered a serious brain injury.

Your family's here. Do you remember them?

Oh, see, that's her. She's in there.

Ajay, come talk to your sister.

Always got to be the center of attention, huh?

You look like shit.

I know. I'm sorry.

We need to get her back into surgery.

"When he tried to fly,

the little bird realized his wings..."

I think...

"So he decided..."

"And he flew away."

You my little bird?

Hey.

You woke up.

How you feeling?

Here.

Just-- just write it down, okay?

You, uh... you fell.

And they've got you on a whole lot of meds,

which I'm kind of jealous of, but...

She's fine.

She's fine. She's with Mom.

We're gonna make it.

We're gonna make it.

Mia. Come on.

Ow.

-Whoa. -Ow.

-Are you all right? -Yeah, I'm fine.

No, I'm...

-Oh, these heels. -Yeah.

I was telling you about these.

Uh, I don't know.

-Are you gonna be all right? -Yeah.

- Gonna make it? Yeah? Come on. - Yeah.

How about I give you a lift?

You're beautiful just the way you are.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

-Seriously? -Oh, definitely.

Well, now is your chance to get rid of me.

Your face.

All right.

You'll need root canals

on at least nine teeth.

But we won't be able to do the procedure

until you can open your mouth wide enough

for us to get in there.

I need you to stretch it daily.

But remember, you got a lot of screws

holding your jaw together,

so be careful how much you push it.

Mia?

Hey.

Mia?

Hey, come back to us.

Is she okay?

Whoa. Hey.

-Just breathe. Okay. -Who are you?

Just br-- This is Detective Colton.

Remember?

He just wants to talk a little bit about what happened.

Sorry, she's having trouble with her short-term memory.

What are you drawing?

This is a lot to process for her right now.

I'll come back when she's rested.

I'll be right back, okay?

Doctors are telling me this can happen after trauma.

How much you tell her?

Not much. You saw her.

So, what happened in there?

I don't know.

It's like she's a different person.

Come on. Let's find Mom.

-Hey. -Mia?

Jake.

Jake, I'm here.

Oh, wait.

Jake, wait! Jake, I'm here!

Jake! Jake!

I'm here.

Hey. Hey.

It's okay. Hey.

You give Mama a big huggy?

Yeah?

And... oh, did you see... did you... did...

-Give Mama a hug? -Come on.

Yeah?

Hey.

-Hey. -Ma-ma.

Hey.

Aw.

Look at you.

Ma.

-Owie. -Yeah, it hurts.

-Ma. -I'm okay.

I missed you.

Ma.

Where's your dada?

You need to get some rest.

-I mean, you're both so tired. -Okay.

-Come here. -Yeah?

-I will take her. -Huh? We go?

All right.

Say bye.

-Say bye-bye. -Bye.

-Bye-bye. -Bye.

Thank you all for coming.

Yes. Thank you.

-You feel okay? -Yes.

Bye, Mom.

Bye.

Well, you're stuck with me now.

Oh.

Hey.

I was just thinking about you.

- She's coming out. - It's too soon.

Put her back under.

Hey, guys.

- See you soon, okay? - Bye, Daddy.

All right, go to sleep. Good night.

-I love you, buddy. -Okay.

Okay. Let's go.

Hold on, G. Uh, just...

Just say hi to Mia.

Hey, Mia.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

Must have been good to see Aurora today, huh?

What do you mean?

Ajay said she was gonna come in today.

Where's Aurora?

W-- With Mom and Dad.

-They-- -Why are you hiding her from me?

Where's Aurora? I need to see my baby.

Mia, she was just here.

No, no, she wasn't.

-I-- I promise she just left. -No. Why--

L-- Let me call you back, okay?

Stop lying to me.

-Why is everyone lying to me? -Hey, hey, listen to me.

No. Where's Jake? Where's Jake?

That does not matter right now, okay?

-He needs me. -Okay.

I'm gonna call the nurse and get you

some more pain meds, okay?

Mia, they're lying to you!

No!

Don't let them destroy us!

Put her back under.

No! No, no! Mia!

No! Mia!

No.

Mia, it's okay.

Mia, it's okay.

It's okay.

Where were you just now?

Where's Jake?

They took him, the police.

-The police, they took him. -Mia.

Just relax, okay?

No, no. You stay back.

-No. No, stay back. -Just-- Mia?

-You stay back. -Why do you think they took him?

Why would the police take him?

Huh?

You remember the airport?

You remember the safety net you landed in?

How do you think you got there?

Jake.

It was Jake.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's fine.

You're fine.

None of it makes sense.

I was safe with him.

Our minds are fragile.

They get sick just like our bodies.

You said yourself that he had become incredibly anxious.

And if it goes unchecked,

it has a profound impact on the body

and especially on the mind.

No.

That can't be Jake.

He's not like that.

Oh, no, no, no, beta, let me tell you.

It is impossible to know the mind

of someone who does not know it well himself.

I want to talk to him.
