You can tell me anything, Gypsy.
I'm trapped.
My mama used to say,
"Sometimes the only way out of the fire is through it."
I never once disrespected my mama the way you do
nearly every day!
I prided myself on being a good daughter!
Look what Ruby's wicked stepmom did to her neck.
You can't show Victor stuff like that.
He might lose control.
Would you actually...
be able to hurt a person like that?
Like, the good side of me
would never do anything like that,
but don't ask Victor unless you actually mean it,
because he might just do it.
She's never gonna let us be together.
She said so.
Victor, will you please...
kill my mother for me?
Gypsy...
Who's there?
Help!
Help... Gypsy!
Gyps! Help!
Gypsy! Somebody!
Good.
Good, Dee Dee. Another push.
Here we go, and push.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
One more, here we go. Push, push, push, push.
Seven, eight, nine, ten.
Good job.
- I need more drugs. - You're doing okay, Dee Dee.
You don't anything else, you got this.
I think we've got a nuchal cord situation.
What is that? Tell me what...
The umbilical cord might be tied around baby's neck.
But it happens all the time.
We just need to get her out to fix it, okay?
We're crowning. I need a big push.
- Here we go. - And one, two, three...
Push, push, push.
Seven, eight, nine, ten.
- Good, we got a baby. - We got a baby.
We got a baby.
Good work, Dee Dee.
Why isn't it crying?
She's just transitioning.
The doctor's got it all under control.
She's gonna be fine. Just breathe.
You did a great job.
We have a beautiful, healthy girl.
Well done.
Yeah, she's so beautiful.
Say hello.
- Got her? - Yeah.
Oh...
Do you know her name?
Oh, yes.
She's Gypsy. Gypsy Rose.
Oh...
Yes.
And what's her father's name?
I...
I'll send you home with some paternity papers
for if you want to add him to the records later.
I'll go get some stuff for baby.
I'll be right back, okay?
Oh, Gypsy.
Oh, Gypsy Rose.
You are an angel from heaven.
Oh...
Oh, Mama.
Look at her.
- Hello. - Oh, Gypsy Rose.
Oh, this is your grandmama.
Hey, little girl.
Oh...
Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, give her here. Give her here.
Yeah.
Hi, there.
I'm Debbie. And you are?
I am Grandmama, who knows best.
We should get her measured and then probably feed her.
Dee Dee probably hasn't asked about that.
I apologize, it's her first time.
And what about sponge?
She still got stuff all over her.
I feel like you've done this a few times.
I still want to give her her first bath.
No, no, no, no, that...
that's much later for you.
Okay, come on, girl.
Come on.
Yeah, let's get you measured.
Ooh, I wonder how much you weigh.
Come on, girl, I got you.
Where to?
Just hold your horses for a minute.
Meter's running. I got all night.
Um, Best Sleep Inn, please.
Um, we're kind of in a hurry.
Slow down, hurry up,
I can do whatever you want, honey.
Oh.
Uh, Victor didn't have time to clean up last night.
Okay.
Do you want one, darling?
Um, no.
I pretty much only take my men's vitamins.
Candy loves what you've done with the place.
Well, I love Candy.
Whoop!
He's eating brownies,
but soon he'll be eating me.
Mm...
Hi.
Oh, stop!
Well, that's... not so fast.
Not so fast like that.
Maybe... maybe slow down just...
Let's just do it the normal way.
Come here, come...
Oh!
No, no!
I'm so excited to see where you live.
What should I wear to impress your mom and Vance?
Um...
my mom likes purple things.
You didn't say that when I was packing.
Well, she... she likes different colors too.
Okay.
Tell me more about Wisconsin.
Pretty cool, I guess.
Yeah? Cool, how?
Like... like, are the people really nice?
Are there lots of meadows and...
My boss Brian is pretty nice.
Anything else?
Nope, not really.
Hey.
Please eat.
Damn it.
Oh, she won't eat!
I'm so afraid there's something wrong with her!
Your agitation is making her agitated.
Not to mention keeping her awake.
I know something's wrong!
Give her here.
Go on to bed.
Shh.
Oh, you got your daddy's eyes, possum.
But you don't need him, do you?
'Cause you got your grandma, huh?
- Okay, okay, give her back. - You got your grandma.
Come on, come on.
Give her back.
Oh...
We're gonna go on a little trip together to the doctor,
just you and me.
Shh.
Oh...
I'm getting seasick,
all this back and forth, back and forth.
Dee Dee.
Why don't you just sit down?
Doctor's gonna say she's just fine.
Hey, Ms. Blanchard, you wanna come in?
Oh, thank you.
Oh, everybody's coming in.
Well, the headline is nothing too concerning,
but she does have what we call "failure to thrive."
- Oh, my Lord! - What?
- Oh, that doesn't sound good. - Lord!
That's a creepy name, right?
But it's not too bad.
Basically it just means she's underweight
and she's smaller than she should be at two months.
I just don't know I'm doing all of this so wrong.
You're not.
Infants grow out of it most of the time,
especially if the parents get a system in place.
Well, you tell us what to do.
Let us know exactly and I'll make sure it happens.
Here's everything you need to know.
Uh, there's a list in there
of the things that the mother can do.
Like, it's important to feed her more,
e-even through the night.
And I'll send a supplement with her,
and you check her weight, make sure she's gaining enough.
Dee Dee can't ever give her enough milk at a time.
- Oh, that's not true! - Yes, it is.
Sometimes I try and you tell me not to wake her.
- That's not so. - No worries.
I will send home a high-calorie formula
that you can try between breastfeedings.
You can rest easy, mama.
You got this, right?
Okay, then I will see you back here next month.
Oh, thank you so much.
You're gonna be great.
Mollie, that is not nice!
All I'm saying is that Mollie was puny as a twig
and all it took was my own two tits,
a breast pump, and a crap ton of time
sitting there being milked like a mama cow.
Not everybody's like you, Janet.
Everybody's not like you.
Don't even use a fancy doctor...
Yeah, and not everybody needs
to put their two cents in, is all I'm saying.
- Do you hear me? - Dee.
- Dee? - Uh-huh.
I got 20 minutes to nap time. What were you saying?
Well, I don't know where I lost you.
- You want me to start over? - No, no, Janet.
Go on outside with those girls.
Go outside with the girls.
Yeah, we're going.
Please give us some peace.
Okay, girls, you ready?
Trampoline. Ready, set, go!
Who's gonna beat me, who's gonna beat me,
who's gonna beat me?
Ugh, you need to go to bed now too.
You look a mess.
I'll take this bottle and put her down.
No, no, no, I'll give it to her.
Doctor's orders.
All right.
Oh...
Alone, mama.
Give us some peace.
Well, I'm not gonna go outside
with your cousin Janet and those hellions.
I get a stress headache every time they come by.
Oh...
Oh, there.
You see that, Gypsy girl?
Just the two of us.
Like it ought to be.
Checking out already?
She actually needs to meet my mom pretty soon
since the wedding is coming up, so we need to catch a bus.
Except we're gonna grab breakfast first.
We've got continental till 9:00.
Um, I'm gonna take her to someplace fancier.
No offense.
Yeah, it's our first real date.
- Are you ready? - Yep.
Okay. Bye, thank you.
Bye.
All-Star special, chocolate chip waffles.
Anything else?
Um, yeah, could I have a different drink, please?
Sure. Orange juice, chocolate milk, hot tea...
Oh, um, what kind of pop do you have?
I have lots of tables. Do you wanna look at a menu?
N-no, um...
I'll just have orange juice.
Nick... Nick?
Don't... don't worry.
- We're just here on a date. - Okay.
Just be smiley and I'll do the talking.
- It's okay. - Oh, gosh.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no...
We still have it.
The knife, we still have it.
Oh.
We're just like Bonnie and Clyde.
What? Who?
It's this couple who are criminals on the run.
They're pretty famous.
We're not criminals. We're not criminals.
I know, I know.
"Claudinea Blanchard?"
Yes, that's me.
I, um... I must have dropped it.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Have a nice day, Claudinea.
You, too.
- Oh, my gosh, can we please go? - Yep.
Can we go, please?
Um...
does the bus station have metal detectors?
I guess.
So we can't take the knife with us.
Oh, there's a lake by my house,
we can throw it in when we get there.
Nick, we can't keep it that long.
Let's find a post office
and just mail it to ourselves, okay?
If we mail, it, it'll be safe.
That's good thinking.
Hey.
Baby? Baby?
Yeah, you're mama's baby.
- Baby? - Baby.
Baby? Baby?
Now show me, where's your cranium?
Can you say "cranium"?
Christ on a cracker, Dee Dee.
She's two.
When I was her age my mama let us just figure it out.
I mean, you know, not your mom.
'Cause she was always so worried about you.
Probably because you're the baby, right?
Dee Dee?
- Baby? - Are you listening?
Baby?
Hey, Dee Dee, where'd you get that camera?
Say "baby."
Who knocks on someone's door this time of night?
Hmm, you got a hot date?
Baby.
We're here for Ms. Dee Dee Blanchard.
Hi, baby.
Dee. Dee Dee.
Yeah.
Come on in.
They... there must be some kind
of misunderstanding, Claudine.
We need to take you in, Ms. Blanchard.
What are you... what did you do?
County attorney's charging you
with felony check fraud.
Oh, my Lord.
Well, I might have written a bad check without knowing,
but I can clear this up.
Bad check from your grandpa's checkbook?
He's pressing charges.
Turn around, put your hands behind your back, please.
No!
We have to do this whether you cooperate or not.
Turn around.
Oh, no!
Don't bring her in here!
Leave her back there! I don't want her to see this!
She's scared!
Can't you see that she's scared?
Turn her away!
Anything you say can and will be used against you...
- Turn her away! - You have the right...
You shouldn't have done this
if you didn't want her to see it!
One will be appointed to you.
So with all these factors
plus your criminal record, I have no choice
but to give you six months in jail,
60 days credit for time served, plus full restitution.
That didn't work out the way you thought it would, did it?
Taking the baby to court
thinking the judge would take pity on you.
She saw right through you.
Oh, please, can I say goodbye?
- Come on. - You can't hug her
with those things on.
I know you could have gotten together
the money for the bond, I just know you could have.
Sometimes the only way out is through.
- Time to go. - Oh...
Uh-huh. - Please...
Wait, you're the only other one who knows her routine.
Please check the list every day
and keep the schedule till I get back.
Yes, yes, this little girl and I are gonna have
a grand old time.
Well, just... just tell me
that you'll follow the list like the doctor asked.
Exactly what he wrote.
Oh, promise me!
Give me your word!
Yes.
Okay, sure.
Gypsy!
Oh, baby.
It's okay, I'll be back soon.
There's just the one ticket on this reservation.
"Nick Godejon, round-trip, Big Bend to Springfield."
Um... well, could you check under "Gypsy Blanchard"?
Nothing.
I thought I checked it before I hit the button.
Can I just buy, um, a seat on this bus, please?
Unfortunately, it's chock full.
The first seat I have on this route
is two days from now.
I-I thought I had checked it.
I-I remember...
Can we just get two one-ways
for the next bus?
Mm-hmm. $104 economy per person.
$131 economy-extra.
I don't... I don't care, just get us out of here.
Whatever the cheapest one is.
Oh, oh.
Hello?
For Gypsy.
Of course it is.
Sorry, I got nothing for you today.
Happy graduation!
- Oh... - How are you doing?
- Oh... - Huh?
Aww.
- How you doing? - Oh...
I don't wanna think about it.
Uh, let's pretend that never happened.
Okay.
Well, everybody's waiting for you at home.
I can't wait to see Gypsy.
She got so big.
The wagon?
Uh-oh, hey!
Yeah, girl, look at you!
That's good.
Look at how smart that girl is!
Thank you so much.
You wanna go get that wagon
and we'll put these other buckets in there?
Get the wagon.
Would you give me a Cheeto?
I want one too.
Here, you want mine?
You want mine?
Oh...
Oh, girl, you're so big now.
It's okay, sugar.
What is wrong with her?
Honeybee, she just needs time to remember you.
What is she even doing out here?
It's her nap time.
She could get sick.
Don't I even get a "thank you"?
How about a smile?
Smile for me, Dee Dee.
Come on, now, smile.
She's dirty.
I been here for six months taking care of her.
We do things different now.
She's happy.
Oh, something's wrong.
I think she's getting a fever.
She's fine.
She's sick a little bit, but I fixed her.
She's been good since you left.
- I didn't leave! - Well, call it what you want to.
I was trying to be polite.
You want me to call you a thief?
I'll call you a thief.
Well, I learned from the best.
Just let her be.
Let her be.
She's fine, Dee Dee.
You gave her cough syrup an hour ago.
99. Normal.
You can see that she's sick!
What are you trying to do?
Prove that you're a better mother than me?
With all your gripes about me,
you couldn't keep one tiny little promise.
To follow the list that the doctor gave us.
Oh...
When the cops came, I could have told them
you weren't here.
But you needed to learn your lesson.
I knew she's better off with me
from the day... she... was born.
Don't worry about her.
I know you don't feel well.
But mama's here.
She's here...
I know.
Here we go, it's coming.
Just a little more for good measure.
Shh.
There we go.
Mm-hmm.
I think basically I had the tickets right,
but then I messed them up.
All right, it doesn't matter.
Well, look who's here. Welcome back.
We need to check back in.
The same room is fine.
Oh, okay. Um, hmm.
Well, I can't give you the same room.
Somebody else is in it.
Uh, this one's smaller. Two twin beds.
You could push them together.
Okay.
Okay, um...
Thank you.
Your goddamn music!
It's about this guy who's, um, a cop,
but he's also this really old dragon as well.
He's, like, thousands of years old.
Let me go!
I have to be with him!
No!
Robert!
We should get ready for bed now so that...
the morning will come faster.
Okay.
Do you want one of these for sleeping?
No. No, thank you.
We're supposed to do everything together,
like Cinderella and... and Prince Charming.
I already told you, I don't want one.
I don't like drugs.
Fine.
I'm pretty hungry.
I'm gonna go to the vending machine.
Okay.
Ooh, now we're ready for the whole week, Gyps.
Dee Dee!
Play time, girlies.
Dee Dee, I'm stuck!
Dolly says she wants jump on the trampoline.
Oh, but you and Dolly
are never gonna jump on that trampoline.
'Cause that's how noggins get broken.
Dee Dee, I need you, girl!
Dee Dee!
Oh, you got a little caught up, there.
A mama shouldn't have to holler for help.
It's undignified.
Just get me to bed.
Oh, God Almighty!
You almost threw me out of the chair!
- Oh... - Not so fast.
I was just getting all your pills together.
Oh, no, you weren't.
You make such a racket with those pills,
I'd have heard you.
- Come on. - There we go.
Okay, come on.
You a good girl, Dee Dee.
Mm.
You a good girl.
- Oh, God. - Okay.
Here you go.
Ah, it's this leg.
Get... get this leg.
Okay.
Oh, Lord.
Wore me out.
Oh...
you're looking peaked.
No shit.
I think I should call Patrick.
No hospice.
No.
Just get me Percocet and...
and an Ensure.
They're here already, Mama.
Where's my Ensure?
We're all out of Ensure.
Sometimes the only way out is through.
Dee Dee?
Dee Dee, I need you.
I do need you.
Hop up, Gyps.
Yeah.
Well, I guess I'd better teach you to walk first.
First you lift one foot,
then you put it down in front of you.
Then you lift the other.
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
Has she been taking anything for pain outside of the IV?
Not that I know of.
Something wrong?
It's her tolerance.
The morphine, it doesn't seem to be enough anymore.
I-I don't get it.
Her system is shutting down,
and I'm guessing she's got a few days at most.
Oh...
I wish there was more I could do for her.
Here you are, you're taking care of Emma and Gypsy.
You're a saint, Dee Dee.
Oh, thank you.
You let me know if you need anything.
Mm.
Otherwise, I'll see you tomorrow.
Mm.
These leaves are really tasty.
Try some.
Dee Dee!
This is gonna be harder than I thought.
Please, come!
I need you, please!
- Dee Dee! - Good.
- I'll be right back. - Dee Dee!
- After I get some advice
from my grandparents.
I'm here now, Mama.
I love you, we all do.
I know you tried your best to always love me.
You made it...
impossible.
You got a mama that loves you.
Do you love your mama?
It's okay, Mama.
In, two, three...
Out.
Girls, just stay out there
on the trampoline for a while!
Hey, you started packing?
Not yet.
Oh, so you found the money to buy the place
all on your own, then?
That's great.
No?
Come on, Dee.
The bank ain't gonna buy back the house
with y'all sitting in it.
Where are we going?
You didn't... oops.
All right.
I'll start in there.
Doesn't matter where we go,
as long as we're together.
I wanna jump on the trampoline.
Uh...
no, honeybee.
Can I go play with Mollie and Abbie
even if I don't go on the trampoline?
I said no!
Tough love's the only thing that's gonna keep those kids
from going to hell in a handbasket, Dee,
so good on you.
Here, I found these old letters in your mom's things.
They look like they haven't been opened.
Oh...
Gypsy...
Gypsy, girl, where are you?
Gypsy!
Oh!
What happened?
Now, don't touch her, Dee!
Don't move her!
- Oh my God. - Are you okay?
Oh, my God!
Girls, you get down too!
- Get down! - Are you bleeding?
Here, baby.
Oh, sweetheart.
Honey, oh...
oh, don't scare me.
I'll call 911!
- Mommy! - Chelsea, don't test me.
Mommy! Mom!
You already had dessert, Chelsea, I said no.
Mommy! Mommy!
Mom, can I get... You are trying my last nerve.
Mom, Mommy!
Mom!
Mommy!
Mom!
Mommy!
Mom, can I have candy?
Mom!
Mommy! Mom!
Mommy!
Mom! Mommy!
Nick! Nick!
Nick, open the door! Please, please, open the door!
Nick!
Nick?
Why did you...
I probably should have come with you.
Why didn't you answer the door?
I was... I was in the bathroom.
I was going to the bathroom and I heard you,
but then I had to finish before I could let you in.
We're not even supposed to be here.
We're not even supposed to be in Springfield right now.
And you're not helping.
You are not... you are not doing this right.
Well, I-I'm sorry.
Sometimes I just don't really know
what I'm supposed to be doing.
Tell me one single thing that you do know, Nick.
Tell me.
Because I can't keep doing everything for you.
I can't keep... oh, God.
I can't keep fixing everything for you!
You have to think! You have to think!
I do think...
No, you have to think about us!
You have to say everything's gonna be okay,
because you have to make it okay
before it even happens.
I'm...
I do know one thing.
That I will never, ever leave you alone, Gypsy Rose,
because I love you.
And you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.
And also, I'm gonna pretty much
always do anything for you because I love you.
And I want you to be happily ever after.
I'm sorry.
Oh...
Here I come.
Okay.
Oh...
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
Now, come on, honey.
I can walk, Mama.
Oh, no, you're too weak. You gotta rest.
Okay.
Okay, baby, you stay here.
Don't move.
Okay.
Okay, come on.
Ooh.
Oh, just until you feel better.
