00:07:31So Alex
00:07:33I'm Sloane Henley
00:07:35and I'm with
00:07:37Child and Family Services
00:07:39and I help children with all sorts of things
00:07:41but my specialty is to help
00:07:43kids whose families were taken away
00:07:45Unfortunately that's been
00:07:47happening a lot more lately
00:07:53Excuse me Sloane

00:07:57I have to go to the bathroom
00:07:59It's on the hall to the left
00:08:01Oh and one second your mother's name is
00:08:03Luisa Ramirez

00:08:45got picked up by ICE two days ago
00:08:47Oh no
00:08:49Yeah nobody's heard from him and I can't find him
00:08:51on the internet you know detainee
00:08:53listing so I don't know
00:08:55In my experience that means that they've already been
00:08:57deported
00:08:59The best we can do is try to find her mother
00:09:01obviously and what other family members we can
00:09:03Okay wow

00:10:59Thanks for the tip
00:11:01You're too nice
00:11:03What
00:11:05I see you met my wife's childhood friend Chloe
00:11:07Intense one
00:11:09Cute though right
00:11:11Well maybe
00:11:13So what's up you joining us for Christmas right
00:11:15You know I'm not a holiday guy
00:11:17Why are you lying Carlos
00:11:19You kill it for Halloween
00:11:21But seriously it would be nice if you
00:11:23weren't always alone
00:11:25Yeah no time for ladies
00:11:27Maybe when I get the house redone
00:11:29Or maybe when I have a little more money
00:11:31You know who else had all the excuses in the world not to get married
00:11:33Who
00:11:35Japanese Scrooge
00:11:37Look how that worked out for him
00:11:39But he had a huge bin of money to swim in
00:11:41That's Scrooge McDuck
00:11:43Hey and when are you and Sloane having a baby
00:11:45Oh okay
00:11:47I know when to back off
00:11:49I just care about you that's all
00:11:51I appreciate it
00:11:53But I'm good
00:11:55Trust me I'm good
00:11:57Let's do this
00:11:59On the floor
00:12:01As we were told
00:12:03At first Chloe may have seemed
00:12:05Like a scary and intimidating person
00:12:07But once I got to know her better
00:12:09She was actually really nice
00:12:11Let me help you with that
00:12:13No need
00:12:15Just get them back to the post supervisor to lock up
00:12:19I celebrate everyone and everything
00:12:21I don't see any pandas
00:12:23Pandas are represented
00:12:25Right here
00:12:27Meet Perry the Panda
00:12:29Hello Chloe
00:12:31I'm Perry the Panda
00:12:33Happy Holidays
00:12:39I'm back
00:12:41I heard that
00:12:43It was the Panda
00:12:47So how's that little girl you found
00:12:55Do you have something in your throat
00:12:57Or is there something work related
00:12:59You would like to discuss
00:13:01Well actually
00:13:03So
00:13:05That gentleman caller
00:13:07From the conference in Florida
00:13:09He keeps phoning to ask you out
00:13:13Make sure that the assets log is current
00:13:15I hate when I look at it and it's not reflective
00:13:17Of what's been updated
00:13:19Wow
00:13:21Okay
00:13:23I'm on it
00:13:25Thank you Charlie
00:13:35Sloane brought me to her house for the night
00:13:39Because
00:13:41Would you be able to find me
00:13:45You'll be safe here
00:13:47Until we can find something more long term for you
00:13:51But only until my mom comes to get me
00:13:53Right
00:13:55Yeah
00:13:59I promise you I'm doing everything I can
00:14:01To find your mom
00:14:05But until then
00:14:07Bye
00:14:27Chloe clung to the memories of her past
00:14:29Like Chico did with the bone
00:14:31She couldn't let them go
00:14:33There was a room in her house
00:14:35That no one could enter
00:14:37It felt like a secret door
00:14:39To a whole nother world
00:14:41And it was
00:14:43As that world
00:14:45Used to belong to her son Adam
00:15:03Mm
00:15:05Mm
00:15:11Mm
00:15:13Sita
00:15:15Donde esta
00:15:17Santa Claus
00:15:21Donde esta Santa Claus
00:15:25Where's the heavenly
00:15:27♪♪
00:15:30I tried to fix it.
00:15:33I tried to fix it.
00:15:35♪♪
00:15:38I'm late.
00:15:40I'm late.
00:15:42I'm late.
00:15:44♪♪
00:15:49I'm late.
00:15:51I'm late.
00:15:53I'm late.
00:15:55Look, sweetheart,
00:15:57I obviously don't want this poor kid out on the streets,
00:16:00but there has to be some other options.
00:16:04Look, I get it that the group home
00:16:07is understaffed over the holidays,
00:16:09but come on.
00:16:11You would think they could make room for one more.
00:16:13We can't keep her here.
00:16:15Okay, if they take another child in today,
00:16:18they could get closed down, so she has to stay here
00:16:21just for a few days until we can find, like,
00:16:24a permanent solution or I can find her family.
00:16:27Sloan?
00:16:28What?
00:16:29Look, they're gonna move her to another county,
00:16:32and what if they put the dog into a pound
00:16:35and separated from her, and that would kill her?
00:16:38Who knows what could happen?
00:16:40We can't.
00:16:41Why?
00:16:43Well, we also have a cat who hates dogs.
00:16:47Honey, I'd love to.
00:16:50I really would.
00:16:52But you've been warned before not to keep kids at the house
00:16:54after the last few times.
00:16:59Okay.
00:17:01So what should I do?
00:17:04What am I supposed to do?
00:17:07You have the power to place Alex in a home
00:17:10that you deem safe for a few days
00:17:12before a judge reviews, right?
00:17:13Yeah.
00:17:14Well, then what about Chloe?
00:17:15I mean, she found her.
00:17:17She's been a parent before, and she was a really good one.
00:17:20I think she'd be great.
00:17:21Was a parent.
00:17:23Past tense.
00:17:24She has not been the same since she lost Adam and Monica.
00:17:30Maybe this is a good thing, then.
00:17:33Okay, let's think about this for a second.
00:17:35She's a single woman, a workaholic.
00:17:38There's procedures for this.
00:17:40I mean, people have to be heavily vetted beforehand,
00:17:43and you know she's not gonna want to deal with that.
00:17:46You know the rules, Sloan.
00:17:48I do, but I'm...
00:17:51I'm not gonna just put her out on the street with her dog.
00:17:57Look, I think this could be a good thing for Chloe.
00:18:00You know, get herself out of her own head for a little while.
00:18:03Because Lord knows she has more walls than China right now.
00:18:07Okay, even if I could convince the judge
00:18:10to let her stay with Chloe without a review,
00:18:13then what...
00:18:15I'm just looking!
00:18:16Get out of there!
00:18:17I'm just making sure it's good.
00:18:19Come on!
00:18:20So even if the courts agree,
00:18:23I mean, they're not gonna let her stay there
00:18:25for more than a few days.
00:18:27Right.
00:18:28I don't know.
00:18:33You know what I do think?
00:18:35What do you think?
00:18:37I think...
00:18:39that you can slay any dragon,
00:18:42if you put your mind to it.
00:18:44But just don't slay this finger, okay?
00:18:46Okay.
00:18:53Adam, look!
00:18:54It's Adam, Mommy!
00:18:56Hi, Mommy!
00:18:58Look, Adam boy!
00:19:00Look over there!
00:19:03PHONE VIBRATES
00:19:15Yeah, hey, it's Lou.
00:19:17Hey, uh...
00:19:19Do you have plans tomorrow morning?
00:19:21I have this business proposal that I would love to run by you.
00:19:27Hi!
00:19:30I haven't seen you for months,
00:19:32and now I get to see you twice in one week.
00:19:34I'm honored.
00:19:35So what's this proposal you were so secretive about on the phone?
00:19:38Straight to business, huh?
00:19:39Okay, come in.
00:19:40Come in.
00:19:43That's good, right?
00:19:44Yeah.
00:19:45Homemade waffles.
00:19:46Alexandra helped me make them.
00:19:50So, Alex, how old are you?
00:19:53Eleven.
00:19:55I'm eleven, too.
00:19:57You don't know how old your dog is?
00:19:59He's Paco's dog.
00:20:01Um...
00:20:04You may be excused.
00:20:05I think Chico needs to go outside.
00:20:07Of course.
00:20:09Now, Alex, let me get the door for you.
00:20:20I'm so glad that digital marketing is going so well for you.
00:20:24Why am I here, Sloan?
00:20:28Alexandra's a great kid,
00:20:30and she's had a hard time.
00:20:35I can sympathize.
00:20:36I know you can.
00:20:38That's why I invited you over.
00:20:40I...
00:20:42I was hoping that maybe...
00:20:43What?
00:20:50No.
00:20:51Absolutely not.
00:20:52Okay, look, it's been a while since, you know,
00:20:55and I just...
00:20:56Maybe the time is right, you know?
00:20:58They would want you to be happy.
00:21:00If they wanted me to be happy,
00:21:01they wouldn't have left me alone in this world
00:21:02to suffer without them.
00:21:04This conversation is over.
00:21:06Okay, look, I just...
00:21:07There's no other choice.
00:21:09With the holidays right now,
00:21:10this is our best option.
00:21:12She doesn't have a relative or friends to stay with.
00:21:14There's no one in eleven years she can crash on their couch.
00:21:17We still need time to find them, okay?
00:21:19And then once we do find them,
00:21:21who knows what their living situation is like?
00:21:23And then what if they don't want her?
00:21:25What if we ask them and they say no?
00:21:27What then? I mean, what is worse?
00:21:29No.
00:21:30I can't be doing pick-up and drop-offs at school.
00:21:34Okay, I could pick her up.
00:21:35I could pick her up, and it's only for a week, right?
00:21:37And then it's Christmas holiday.
00:21:39And then what? I'm gonna take her to work with me?
00:21:41I can't be following after a kid 24-7.
00:21:44She's eleven years old, okay?
00:21:46She told me that she stayed at home while her mom worked.
00:21:48I don't do dogs.
00:21:51I will get you a crate that you could put the dog in at night
00:21:55and you don't have to worry about the dog.
00:21:58Adam's room hasn't been touched since...
00:22:03Look, I know this is hard. I get it.
00:22:07But you gotta think, like, what would Adam want right now?
00:22:11Goodbye, Sloan.
00:22:14Okay.
00:22:16I get it. It's fine.
00:22:20It's fine.
00:22:34Okay, I'll... I'll do it.
00:22:38Really?
00:22:39But this is temporary.
00:22:40Right.
00:22:41And you will find her someone else by Christmas?
00:22:42Yep.
00:22:43Okay, somebody else. Deal.
00:22:47This could be okay, Mom.
00:22:49Actually, I'm feeling pretty grateful about it.
00:22:58Welcome to my home.
00:23:00Whoa.
00:23:02She had an amazing house.
00:23:05I'm going to get you some sheets and show you to your room.
00:23:15He's not gonna pee everywhere, is he?
00:23:19No.
00:23:21Chico, you need to sit.
00:23:24Sit down.
00:23:26Good boy.
00:23:30You wait here. I will be right back.
00:23:35Make yourself at home.
00:23:38Towels are in the bathroom, along with toiletries.
00:23:42If you need anything, just holler.
00:23:45My bedroom is down the hall to the left.
00:23:48So, um, good night.
00:23:52But it's only 8 p.m.
00:23:54Oh, I get up very early. I get up at 5.30 so that I can do my workout and go to the coffee shop before work.
00:23:59That's where we met.
00:24:01So, okay then.
00:24:04Good night.
00:24:14You're gonna be okay.
00:24:16Just don't get me in any trouble, alright?
00:24:20Paco's gone, so I'm all you got.
00:24:29You're up early.
00:24:31I couldn't sleep.
00:24:35Tough sleeping in a new place.
00:24:38The bed's too hard. It's like sleeping on wood.
00:24:42So, let's start our day.
00:24:45We have a lot to do. I have some errands. We can get you clothes, some groceries.
00:24:50Let's get to it.
00:24:57Why are we here again?
00:24:59I have an order to pick up. A Christmas gift for a client.
00:25:03Hi, Ariel. I have a pickup for Chloe Wilson.
00:25:06Hi. Yeah, sure. Let me go grab it.
00:25:10Hey, can we get the parrot?
00:25:12Polly, want a cracker?
00:25:14Yes, please.
00:25:15Might I have a cracker, please?
00:25:17I love that one.
00:25:18No, we're not getting a parrot. It doesn't match anything in my house.
00:25:22Why does that matter? Nothing in my house matches.
00:25:28Oh, I forgot to get the milk from the store.
00:25:31I already have milk.
00:25:32Real milk. Not that nutty stuff.
00:25:35Real milk. Not that nutty stuff.
00:25:39I think she'd go like it better than what you have anyways.
00:25:42Wait, what do you mean better than what I have?
00:25:44Close.
00:25:45Oh. Thank you.
00:25:50I don't think his tummy liked it.
00:25:54Oh, God.
00:26:06There she is!
00:26:22So, how was school today? Did Chloe get you there on time?
00:26:26When will we find out when my mom is coming home?
00:26:30Oh, soon, sweetie. I'm still trying to find her.
00:26:34And then, once we find her, we don't know if she's going to be deported.
00:26:37I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:26:39If they're going to deport her, can I go with her?
00:26:44Oh, you know what? I don't know, because you're a U.S. citizen.
00:26:47So, we're going to have to figure that out, too. Okay?
00:26:51I'm doing the best I can. I promise.
00:26:54Your mom said my dad tried to apply several times to get their papers fixed,
00:26:58but the lawyer just took all their money.
00:27:16Citizen group home is a clean, safe home.
00:27:19Runs a tight ship.
00:27:21Your Honor, they take these kids for a check.
00:27:24It's a business, and that is not a loving or nurturing environment for a child.
00:27:29Which, by the way, if you actually are taking a child away from their parents,
00:27:33that's called abduction, okay?
00:27:35This little girl is an American, okay?
00:27:37It's a crime, so the least you can do is hear me out.
00:27:40Save your sermon, Ms. Henley.
00:27:42This is not immigration court.
00:27:44I grant you that there are cases like this that are increasing every day,
00:27:48but that is not my concern.
00:27:50My concern is placement of Alexandra Ramirez.
00:27:53Okay, well, this home does not have a bed.
00:27:55And if we send her to another county, she will be further traumatized.
00:27:59And it's the holidays. I don't see another alternative.
00:28:03So, what I'm asking is that you please let her stay with Mrs. Wilson until Christmas,
00:28:08and then I will find a more suitable place for her.
00:28:11Now, in that package, you'll see that we've already done her fingerprints.
00:28:14She was approved.
00:28:15Home study?
00:28:16Yes, it's done, and it was fine.
00:28:18But again, this is just temporary until we figure out where her mom is.
00:28:22And there is no other option?
00:28:26I mean, I don't want to send her away to a huge facility
00:28:29if her mom's just going to be back here in a few days.
00:28:33That doesn't make any sense.
00:28:39Given it's the holidays, I'll allow it.
00:28:44I'll allow it.
00:28:46But you are sticking your neck out, Ms. Henley.
00:28:48And if anything goes wrong with Chloe Wilson...
00:28:52Yep, yep, yep. Okay, thank you.
00:28:56And you have two weeks to come up with another option.
00:28:58I will, I promise.
00:29:03Hi.
00:29:05So, the judge said that you can stay with Chloe.
00:29:08So you'll have a good home to stay in while we look for your mom, okay?
00:29:12Okay.
00:29:15Okay.
00:29:18Thank you.
00:29:24Come on.
00:29:32So, what do you want for dinner?
00:29:34Carnitas.
00:29:35Sorry, I don't have that.
00:29:37Can we make them?
00:29:39I don't cook.
00:29:42How about pasta?
00:29:46Okay.
00:29:47I can make that.
00:29:50You should cook the pasta before the sauce.
00:29:52It will splatter.
00:29:53You should put a cover over it, too.
00:29:55It's fine. You can't overcook sauce.
00:29:58You can.
00:30:00My mom taught me.
00:30:01I'd help her out in the food truck,
00:30:03and she showed me how the sauce could get burnt and black
00:30:05if you're not careful.
00:30:06Mm-hmm.
00:30:07Oh!
00:30:08Oh!
00:30:39Hey, Alex.
00:30:49This loan was held up at work, so I'm here to pick you up.
00:31:00You're going to crash.
00:31:01No, I'm not.
00:31:02I just need to take a break.
00:31:05You're going to crash.
00:31:06No, I'm not.
00:31:07I just need to text Sloan to let her know that I picked you up.
00:31:11Look out!
00:31:13He almost hit him.
00:31:17How do you know that squirrel was a him?
00:31:20I just know things.
00:31:28Can I use your phone to see if Sloan found my mom yet?
00:31:31Hey.
00:31:35How about this?
00:31:37You said that you want to make carnitas and tortillas, right?
00:31:40So why don't we go home, you make tortillas,
00:31:44and I'll go to the store and get you your own phone.
00:31:48How's that sound?
00:31:55I think the squirrel's fine.
00:31:59Most likely a heart attack.
00:32:04Marco bought one of these years ago, but he never used it.
00:32:07It should still work.
00:32:09Okay, Miss Chef.
00:32:11Let's see how you do.
00:32:13I'll be right back.
00:32:35I'm sorry.
00:32:53Alex!
00:32:54What have you done?
00:32:55Uh-oh.
00:32:57Okay, girls, it's just flour.
00:33:00Both of us could have handled that a lot better.
00:33:03Um, yeah, dog on the counter.
00:33:06Probably not the best idea.
00:33:09Get that dog off of my counter.
00:33:28Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:33:31I did not sign up for this.
00:33:33You've reached Sloan Henley with Child and Family Services.
00:33:36I'm unable to take your call right now.
00:33:38Please leave a message.
00:33:40We need to talk.
00:33:44Just a second.
00:33:57What's going on? Everything okay?
00:33:59Alex, I have a few things that I need to discuss with Sloan.
00:34:01Can you go into your room for a moment, please?
00:34:04Can I at least bring my sandwich?
00:34:07Sure.
00:34:11Thanks, Chloe.
00:34:13Hey, Alex. Sorry I couldn't pick you up at school today.
00:34:16Court went over. I'm sorry about that.
00:34:18I don't think I can do this anymore, Sloan.
00:34:21Okay, it's just one more week, and then school's out, so...
00:34:24And this is probably not the best time to tell you, but...
00:34:28You're going to have to pick her up for the next couple of days.
00:34:30I have to leave town. I'm sorry, it's an emergency.
00:34:33I couldn't get out of it. I tried.
00:34:35What did I do, Sloan?
00:34:40Well, I mean, you did the right thing.
00:34:42It's just taking some time to adjust, and that's fine.
00:34:45I am tired. I am frustrated.
00:34:47I do not know how to handle her.
00:34:49When I try to treat her like an adult and let her make carnitas and tortillas,
00:34:52she blows up my kitchen.
00:34:54When I try to treat her like Adam, she's exhausted by me.
00:34:57Okay, take a deep breath.
00:34:59Deep breath. Good.
00:35:01And exhale. Very good.
00:35:03Okay. I'm sorry.
00:35:05But you have to remember that she was just ripped away from her mother.
00:35:10You know, this is a very hard time for her.
00:35:13This is a tough time for me, too, Sloan.
00:35:17I know. I know it is.
00:35:21You were a really good mom, Chloe.
00:35:27You were.
00:35:31You want me to find someone else?
00:35:39No.
00:35:41I can do this.
00:35:43Two more weeks.
00:35:47There's a Clif Bar and lunch money inside.
00:35:50But lunch at school is free.
00:35:52Oh.
00:35:54Well, you left this plugged in.
00:35:57You need to keep it with you always.
00:35:59I will take you to school today, and I will pick you up.
00:36:02Well, I can't take you to school today.
00:36:04I have to go to school.
00:36:06I have to go to school.
00:36:08I have to go to school.
00:36:10I have to go to school.
00:36:12I have to go to school.
00:36:14I will pick you up.
00:36:16Why can't Sloan?
00:36:18She can't.
00:36:44You're right.
00:36:46Run right in front of me. I barely had time to stop.
00:36:48You're right. You're right.
00:36:50Si. Lo siento.
00:36:52No, no, no, no. Esta bien. Tranquila.
00:36:54I thought I could make it.
00:36:56It happens. It's okay. Relax.
00:36:59Huh? Tranquila. Relax.
00:37:02Cuéntame.
00:37:04¿Es tu nombre?
00:37:06¿Es tu nombre?
00:37:08¿Es tu nombre?
00:37:10¿Es tu nombre?
00:37:12Cuéntame.
00:37:14¿Eres mexicana?
00:37:16No. Americano.
00:37:20Mi mamá es mexicana.
00:37:22Oh.
00:37:24¿Y usted?
00:37:26Americano también.
00:37:28She was supposed to get me,
00:37:30but I guess she forgot.
00:37:32Your mom?
00:37:34No. Chloe.
00:37:36Oh.
00:37:38I tried to call her, but she didn't pick up.
00:37:40Can you call her?
00:37:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Give me her number.
00:37:44You have it?
00:37:50Hi, this is Chloe Wilson with Renegade Media.
00:37:52Leave me a message and I'll return your call.
00:37:54Thanks. Bye.
00:37:56Hi, my name is Carlos Lopez.
00:37:58I'm here with, uh...
00:38:00What's her name?
00:38:02Alexandra.
00:38:04With Alexandra. She ran in front of my truck.
00:38:06She's okay. She's okay.
00:38:08I was thinking to give her a ride
00:38:10to the address on her phone.
00:38:12Just so you know, everything is okay.
00:38:14Uh, my number is
00:38:16927-1916.
00:38:18Bye.
00:38:22I live close by. I can give you a ride.
00:38:24Is that okay?
00:38:26Por favor.
00:38:30What?
00:38:32My buddy Alan wishing me a happy birthday.
00:38:34I know Alan.
00:38:36That's Sloan's husband.
00:38:38And please complain to us.
00:38:40Oh, gracias.
00:38:42See? We're all friends.
00:38:44Though you should tell me
00:38:46how do you know Sloan and Alan.
00:38:48Oh.
00:38:52Can we turn on the radio?
00:38:54Yeah. You tell me what station.
00:38:58That's this one.
00:39:00Okay.
00:39:04Mamacita.
00:39:08¿Dónde está Santa Claus?
00:39:12¿Dónde está Santa Claus?
00:39:14And the toys that people need.
00:39:20Me encanta cantar. ¿Y a ti?
00:39:22Mi mamá y yo cantamos mucho.
00:39:24Wow. Your mom sounds awesome.
00:39:26That's when I knew Carlos
00:39:28was cool.
00:39:30Hey.
00:39:32Crap.
00:39:36Did I catch you at a bad time?
00:39:38You. What are you doing here?
00:39:40Oh, uh,
00:39:42conveying gifts.
00:39:44Hi.
00:39:46Alex, where were you? I came to the school
00:39:48and you were not there. I called you three times.
00:39:50I'm sorry. I guessed the music in Carlos' car
00:39:52was too loud. I didn't hear it.
00:39:54How am I supposed to know where you were?
00:39:56Obviously, she doesn't check her phone messages.
00:39:58Messages.
00:40:02Oh, I saw that. I don't answer phone numbers
00:40:04that I don't recognize.
00:40:06Well, you didn't have to answer it. Just check your messages.
00:40:08Okay. I lied.
00:40:10He was awesome.
00:40:14She darted in front of my truck and I almost ran her over.
00:40:16What? Alex, are you okay?
00:40:18Yeah. You were late. I didn't know if you were coming.
00:40:20We will discuss this inside.
00:40:22She was all shook up,
00:40:24so the least I could do was give her a ride home.
00:40:28Thank you
00:40:30for bringing her back.
00:40:36You're welcome.
00:40:38I was kind of surprised
00:40:40she wasn't immediately happy to see me
00:40:42as I saved her the trouble of picking me up.
00:40:44You do not ride in a car with a complete stranger.
00:40:46Are you crazy? Don't you know how to drive?
00:40:48I don't know how to drive.
00:40:50You do not ride in a car with a complete stranger.
00:40:52Are you crazy? Didn't your mother ever teach you...
00:40:54My mom taught me a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet.
00:40:56Your mommy must have not taught you that.
00:41:00Besides, he knows Sloane and Alan, too.
00:41:04So he's not a stranger.
00:41:20Alex!
00:41:36We know she's here.
00:41:38No!
00:41:40Mommy!
00:41:42Mommy!
00:41:44Stop!
00:41:46Alex, wake up!
00:41:48Wake up!
00:41:50Please don't let her take me away, too.
00:41:52I promise I won't be a brat anymore.
00:41:54It's okay.
00:41:56It's okay.
00:41:58No one is coming to take you.
00:42:00Shh.
00:42:02And you're not a brat.
00:42:04You're just going through a tough time.
00:42:06My mommy.
00:42:08You miss her, huh?
00:42:14Can you tell me something about your mom?
00:42:16What types of things did you like to do together?
00:42:18We would go to church on Sunday.
00:42:22Ice skate.
00:42:24Swim in a big pool.
00:42:28My mom's a really good swimmer.
00:42:30And are you?
00:42:32Yeah. She calls me Estrella de Mar.
00:42:34Or starfish.
00:42:38She says they're also very resilient.
00:42:40They can reach out of my arms and sit with their feet.
00:42:42Well, that's very cool.
00:42:44Do you like the ocean?
00:42:48Never been.
00:42:50But we found an ultrasound in a barn
00:42:52and painted it like the sea.
00:42:54It had seashells,
00:42:56starfish,
00:42:58and even a seahorse.
00:43:02I wish it was here.
00:43:04You'd like it.
00:43:06I'm sure I would.
00:43:12Today's Sunday.
00:43:14Why don't we go to church?
00:43:16Would that make you feel better?
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:20Let's do it.
00:43:30Church and Sundays
00:43:32were always spent with her family.
00:43:38Now, I was reading online
00:43:40that there's a Sunday school class upstairs
00:43:42if you'd like to go to that.
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:46Okay, okay.
00:43:48I'm coming.
00:43:54And going with me
00:43:56was a painful
00:43:58reminder of what she lost.
00:44:04Hey, what the heck?
00:44:06Hey, knock it off. Don't be rude.
00:44:08Just knock it off.
00:44:10All right, kids. Let's get started.
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:16All right.
00:44:18Okay, so today
00:44:20we are going to be studying
00:44:22the seven sacraments.
00:44:24Does anyone know what they are?
00:44:28For our new guest,
00:44:30Alexandra Ramirez,
00:44:32why don't we give her a chance to go first?
00:44:34Can you tell us what they are, Alexandra?
00:44:38Uh...
00:44:40Yes, Sammy.
00:44:42I know. The seven sacraments are
00:44:44dopey, sneezy, bashful, grumpy,
00:44:46happy, sleepy...
00:44:48Sammy Franklin, this is not a joke.
00:44:50I got you.
00:44:52Sammy.
00:44:54Alex.
00:45:08I will not send his son into the world
00:45:10to condemn the world,
00:45:12but to save the world through it.
00:45:14Whoever believes in him
00:45:16is not condemned.
00:45:18But whoever does not believe
00:45:20in him is condemned already.
00:45:22He may not
00:45:24believe in God at all.
00:45:26Careful.
00:45:28You're going to fall down a manhole
00:45:30one of these days if you keep looking at that thing.
00:45:34We have to stop meeting like this.
00:45:36A sermon that boring?
00:45:38No, no, I don't really do
00:45:40church.
00:45:42I'm here for Alex.
00:45:44She used to come to church with her mom.
00:45:46Oh.
00:45:48I don't really do Christmas.
00:45:50Me neither. Not anymore.
00:45:52Then what are you doing
00:45:54here?
00:45:56Uh, it's... it's a job.
00:45:58Uh, I'm a workaholic, so if
00:46:00it keeps me busy, I'll do it.
00:46:02Well, I don't know anything about that.
00:46:04Nothing at all.
00:46:06So she has a sense of
00:46:08humor.
00:46:12Was I really that bad?
00:46:14Yes.
00:46:16You were a little
00:46:18unappreciative. I'm sorry.
00:46:20I got tied up at work and I was
00:46:22embarrassed and I'm just
00:46:24trying to do everything perfect.
00:46:28Why don't you like
00:46:30Christmas?
00:46:32I guess it's a
00:46:34side effect of
00:46:36bouncing in the foster system.
00:46:38I lived in
00:46:40a lot of places
00:46:42until I became a citizen.
00:46:44So, you're
00:46:46not into Christmas. Alexandra
00:46:48is. Do you have a tree
00:46:50at least? No. I
00:46:52threw out the fake one and
00:46:54the real ones are big and
00:46:56it... it's just me.
00:46:58I can
00:47:00help you get one if you want.
00:47:02I have the truck and everything.
00:47:04Maybe.
00:47:06You wouldn't mind?
00:47:08No. I've been in her shoes.
00:47:10You should
00:47:12take advantage of it.
00:47:14It doesn't happen very often.
00:47:20Hi. Hey.
00:47:22How was Sunday school?
00:47:24I liked it. Sammy
00:47:26made a funny joke. Oh, Sammy's
00:47:28my new friend. He lives at
00:47:30the group home.
00:47:32Where? They're a foster home down the street
00:47:34with maybe a million kids. I skip out
00:47:36whenever I can. This is Chloe.
00:47:38Hey, Chloe.
00:47:40And that is Carlos.
00:47:42Hey, kiddo. Hey.
00:47:44I'm gonna go sit outside with Sammy and wait till Lydia
00:47:46picks him up. Is that okay?
00:47:48Yeah, sure.
00:47:52So, you're not
00:47:54into Christmas, but you do it
00:47:56for the kid. That's
00:47:58admirable.
00:48:00Kind.
00:48:02Unexpected.
00:48:04So,
00:48:06I can say
00:48:08from experience
00:48:10what you're doing
00:48:12with Alexandra
00:48:14is very good.
00:48:16You are changing her life.
00:48:18Chloe
00:48:20seems nice.
00:48:22I don't think she's sad.
00:48:24Well,
00:48:26maybe you can cheer her up.
00:48:32Not
00:48:34sure.
00:48:36But my mom being home
00:48:38will wake me up.
00:48:42That dress
00:48:44reminded you of your mom?
00:48:47Yeah.
00:48:54I hope she finds me soon.
00:49:06Hey!
00:49:08Someone order a chauffeur?
00:49:10Yeah!
00:49:13What do you say
00:49:15if we give Chloe a little festive surprise
00:49:17and we decorate her house?
00:49:19I figure we could stop by the store.
00:49:21But I saw a couple boxes marked Xmas in the garage.
00:49:23Maybe she already has some.
00:49:25Well, let's check them out. Let's go.
00:49:30Did you put the Christmas
00:49:32apron in the kitchen? Yeah.
00:49:34Chloe splattered, so if she makes pasta again,
00:49:36she's all set. Great.
00:49:38Come here. Let's try this side.
00:49:40There we go.
00:49:42And...
00:49:44Yeah!
00:49:46She's here!
00:49:50Surprise!
00:50:00How dare you!
00:50:04How dare you!
00:50:06How dare you put those up! I don't understand.
00:50:08You don't know. You have no idea what...
00:50:10Take them down! Take them down immediately!
00:50:12I'm trying! I said take them down!
00:50:26The last pair of hands
00:50:28on those blue lights
00:50:30were Chloe's son before he died.
00:50:39She kept them hidden
00:50:41for a reason.
00:50:43To bury her pain.
00:50:46So,
00:50:48without knowing it,
00:50:50I had opened
00:50:52a Pandora's box.
00:50:58You okay?
00:51:00No. No.
00:51:02What if Chloe doesn't let me
00:51:04stay here anymore?
00:51:06Don't worry. It's not your fault.
00:51:08It was my stupid idea.
00:51:10It was not a stupid idea.
00:51:12I'm so sorry.
00:51:16That was rude of me.
00:51:18And neither one of you
00:51:20deserved that.
00:51:22I'm sorry, too.
00:51:24I like the blue lights because
00:51:26they remind me of
00:51:28icicles. And the white ones
00:51:30that look like snow?
00:51:32We always liked the combination.
00:51:34I wish there was real snow
00:51:36so I could make a real snowman.
00:51:38For that, you would have to
00:51:40move to the North Pole, not
00:51:42southern Texas.
00:51:44I really do
00:51:46appreciate it.
00:51:48I just
00:51:50miss them.
00:51:54You want to try the lights again?
00:51:56Can we?
00:51:58Would you do
00:52:00the honors?
00:52:02Yes.
00:52:06I present to you
00:52:08the Christmas lights
00:52:10of
00:52:14Casa Chloe!
00:52:18Beautiful.
00:52:20Whoa.
00:52:22It's late. I should go.
00:52:24You're not going to stay
00:52:26for dinner?
00:52:28You're up to?
00:52:30Yes. I just need to get everything out of the car.
00:52:34You should stay for breakfast, too.
00:52:36Chloe said she's making pancakes.
00:52:38Pancakes?
00:52:40Yeah. Blue starfish pancakes.
00:52:42Whoa. That sounds awesome.
00:52:44But, uh, you know,
00:52:46I'll take a rain check on the starfish pancakes.
00:52:48But, uh,
00:52:50dinner sounds great.
00:52:52So, this, uh,
00:52:54starting over?
00:52:56Yes.
00:52:58If you want to.
00:53:00I do.
00:53:12Okay.
00:53:14How did I do?
00:53:18And?
00:53:22Needs more oregano.
00:53:24Everything is better
00:53:26when you make it from scratch,
00:53:28but it's pretty close.
00:53:30I'll take it.
00:53:32Pretty close is good?
00:53:34Pretty close is good.
00:53:36Can I say grace?
00:53:38Sure.
00:53:44Dear God,
00:53:46thank you for Chloe and Carlos
00:53:48and all the wonderful food we are about to eat.
00:53:50And please,
00:53:52please bring my mommy home.
00:53:54I really miss her.
00:53:58And God bless Chico, too.
00:54:00And God bless Chico, too.
00:54:02Okay.
00:54:04Amen.
00:54:06Let's eat.
00:54:08Okay.
00:54:20Okay.
00:54:32So, this is it?
00:54:34This was
00:54:36where she lived?
00:54:38Yeah, Sloan said there are several families
00:54:40living here, but
00:54:42this is what is important.
00:54:44Well, so let's take this precious cargo
00:54:46and get going.
00:54:50Okay.
00:54:54One, two, three.
00:54:56Good.
00:54:58Good.
00:55:00Keep going.
00:55:06That looks good.
00:55:16You okay?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:32Thank you,
00:55:34Carlos.
00:55:36I owe you.
00:55:44Is that okay?
00:55:48Yeah.
00:55:54See you then.
00:55:56Bye.
00:55:58Bye.
00:56:12Why don't you start your homework in your room?
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:16No, not that one.
00:56:18This was her most
00:56:20difficult gift.
00:56:22You can stay in here.
00:56:24Adam's room.
00:56:26Since the other bed wasn't comfortable.
00:56:28The room with the secret locked door.
00:56:36How did you do this?
00:56:38Someone from
00:56:40Sloan's office was able to get access
00:56:42to your house, and Carlos
00:56:44helped.
00:56:46He said you wished it was here, so.
00:56:50Thank you.
00:57:00Then,
00:57:02I saw your dress.
00:57:08The one that you said
00:57:10Dad gave you in Mexico.
00:57:14Will she be okay?
00:57:18Will she be able to find me?
00:57:20Of course she will.
00:57:22Sloan is doing everything in her power
00:57:24to reconnect you.
00:57:38Did he die?
00:57:40Did he die?
00:57:44The boy whose room this is?
00:57:48Yes, he did.
00:57:50And his dad
00:57:52did too.
00:57:54It was a car accident.
00:57:56Nobody
00:57:58could help them.
00:58:00That was very hard for me to accept.
00:58:06It's harder when you can't see him
00:58:08ever again.
00:58:12It is.
00:58:14You
00:58:16become
00:58:18cold,
00:58:20broken,
00:58:22dark.
00:58:26My mommy
00:58:28always says
00:58:32you can always see the light
00:58:34at the end of the tunnel
00:58:36if you truly believe it's there.
00:58:42Yeah, maybe I've been in a tunnel.
00:58:48But if there's a way into the tunnel,
00:58:50maybe there's a way out.
00:58:52Right?
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:56I think so.
00:59:00We're gonna be okay.
00:59:06Yeah.
00:59:20I found ribbon.
00:59:24Can you help me with my white
00:59:26rhino gift?
00:59:28I think you mean white elephant.
00:59:30Oh.
00:59:32Let's see
00:59:34what we've got in here.
01:00:02I passed away from a heart attack
01:00:04when I was a baby.
01:00:06I'm sorry to hear that.
01:00:14I think you're right.
01:00:20Okay, now, do you want red
01:00:22or green? Red.
01:00:24There's a big one.
01:00:28Great.
01:00:30Now that the budget is approved,
01:00:32we will have two cameras and one sound guy.
01:00:34Yeah, just copy my assistant,
01:00:36and we'll get the ball rolling.
01:00:38Hey, um,
01:00:40your 230's still waiting for you outside?
01:00:42Why didn't you tell me sooner
01:00:44that he was still here?
01:00:46I'm sorry.
01:00:48Poor guy.
01:00:50Tell him that I will be out in a minute.
01:00:52Thank you, Charlie.
01:00:56Are you feeling okay?
01:00:58Thank you, Charlie.
01:01:28Okay.
01:01:58Okay.
01:02:28Okay.
01:02:48My mom is going to love this.
01:02:50She always wanted a...
01:02:52Oh, no, she saw me.
01:02:54We have to put it away.
01:02:56Let me do the talking.
01:02:58It's okay.
01:03:00I'm sorry, Chloe.
01:03:02Please don't get upset.
01:03:04She wanted to do a project,
01:03:06and I offered to help,
01:03:08but we're going to put this
01:03:10right away in her room.
01:03:12It's okay.
01:03:14No rush.
01:03:16Okay, then,
01:03:18I'm going to go,
01:03:20and I'll see you Saturday, young lady.
01:03:22Bye, Carlos.
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:26Thank you for
01:03:28everything you've done for Alex.
01:03:30Well, you know,
01:03:32I've been there.
01:03:34You have glitter.
01:03:36Oh, where?
01:03:38Just here.
01:03:40Well, it's kind of everywhere.
01:03:42Really?
01:03:44Well, it does compliment your eyes, so...
01:03:46Oh, thank you.
01:03:48Well, just imagine I'm a big disco ball.
01:03:50You want to dance?
01:03:54No, no, the other way.
01:03:56Okay.
01:03:58Yeah.
01:04:12I guess I should wear
01:04:14glitter more often.
01:04:16Yeah.
01:04:19Okay.
01:04:22I'd better go.
01:04:24Bye.
01:04:40It's like a million Christmas trees.
01:04:42In honour of Carlos helping us
01:04:44pick one out, can I give him some?
01:04:46Sure.
01:04:48Speaking of which, he's going to be here soon to take you skating.
01:04:50You should get ready.
01:04:54I forgot to walk Chico.
01:04:56Oh, I can walk him.
01:04:58Really?
01:05:00Sure, why not?
01:05:02Okay, I'm sure Chico would love that.
01:05:12She learned a valuable lesson that day.
01:05:14No phones allowed on dog walks.
01:05:16Ever.
01:05:18No, no, no, Chico!
01:05:20Come back!
01:05:28I know.
01:05:30Why don't we have your friends over for a Christmas party?
01:05:32Maybe with all the commotion,
01:05:34Chico will come back.
01:05:44Alex, hey!
01:05:46Merry Christmas!
01:05:48Hi, Alex!
01:05:50Hi, Alex!
01:05:58Yep, come on in.
01:06:00A present for me?
01:06:02There is a present for everyone, so come on in.
01:06:04You guys can make an ornament,
01:06:06get something to drink.
01:06:08Hi.
01:06:10Hi.
01:06:12Wow.
01:06:14Great.
01:06:16Buenas noches.
01:06:18I like your...
01:06:20Carlos!
01:06:22Hey!
01:06:24How are you?
01:06:26Come on in.
01:06:38Hey, hey, hey.
01:06:40I thought you might want something
01:06:42a tin stronger than hot cocoa.
01:06:44Thank you.
01:06:46Cheers.
01:06:48Cheers.
01:06:50You are Charlie, right?
01:06:52How'd you know?
01:06:54You follow me on social media?
01:06:56Chloe told me you have a thing for Candace.
01:06:58Oh.
01:07:00Yep, that's me.
01:07:02Wow.
01:07:04She, like, talks about me?
01:07:06So cool.
01:07:08Um...
01:07:10Hey, uh...
01:07:12What's happening with Alexandra?
01:07:14Like, do you know where she's gonna live after this?
01:07:16I mean...
01:07:18She plays a mean game
01:07:20of freeze tag.
01:07:22I'm just really gonna miss her.
01:07:26What do you mean?
01:07:28She's gonna stay here?
01:07:30Chloe said it's just a temporary situation
01:07:32until Christmas.
01:07:34Temporary?
01:07:38Oh...
01:07:40You didn't know?
01:07:44Hey, there's
01:07:46one more gift left.
01:07:48Oh, that one's for my mom
01:07:50when she comes back.
01:07:54Thank you.
01:08:00If you ever need me,
01:08:02you know where to find me.
01:08:04And I mean it, okay?
01:08:10Bye, Carlos.
01:08:12Carlos!
01:08:14Carlos, wait!
01:08:16Wait for what? Huh?
01:08:18For the moment that you break
01:08:20that little girl's heart?
01:08:22What? What are you talking about?
01:08:24I know it's temporary.
01:08:26Charlie told me.
01:08:28And I thought that...
01:08:32You know, that's the matter.
01:08:34I know that I said that
01:08:36at first, but I was just about to...
01:08:38To change your mind again?
01:08:40I know people like you.
01:08:42Bait and switch.
01:08:44When life gets too tough, or you feel like
01:08:46putting up those walls again,
01:08:48you put work first.
01:08:50But she's not one of your hard drives.
01:08:52No, she's a human being.
01:08:54And she has feelings.
01:08:56Her mom is coming back.
01:08:58Oh, really?
01:09:00You know nothing about deportation.
01:09:02It could take years.
01:09:04What if she doesn't come back at all?
01:09:06Huh? Her mom was taken
01:09:08away for no other reason than not having
01:09:10the right paperwork to be on the
01:09:12wrong side of an imaginary line.
01:09:14And what are you doing?
01:09:16You're gonna send Alex on her own.
01:09:18Yeah.
01:09:20Nice.
01:09:24Gotta get out of here.
01:09:26Hey.
01:09:28Uh...
01:09:30Chloe, I have news.
01:09:32Uh, Alex's mom...
01:09:36She was so desperate to get...
01:09:38To get back to her.
01:09:40She tried to...
01:09:42Cross the river
01:09:44from...
01:09:46That side
01:09:48to us.
01:09:50And, uh, the undercurrent
01:09:52pulled her.
01:09:54And she didn't...
01:09:56Make it.
01:09:58No.
01:10:00No.
01:10:02My mommy's the best swimmer.
01:10:04She'd make it.
01:10:06No, she'd made it before.
01:10:08No, she'd make it.
01:10:10You're lying. Don't judge me.
01:10:12Get away with it.
01:10:14You never wanted me anyway.
01:10:16I would have hoped I was loaded, Alan.
01:10:18They care about me.
01:10:22No!
01:10:24No!
01:10:26No!
01:10:28No!
01:10:30And just like that, Mom,
01:10:32you were gone.
01:10:38This is the part
01:10:40where it's over
01:10:44Sending my heart
01:10:46down the river
01:10:50New from the start
01:10:52I deliver
01:10:56Or so I'm told
01:11:02Now it's forgive
01:11:04and forgotten
01:11:08Riding the tide
01:11:12Back to your arms
01:11:14Try to decide
01:11:18Where I went wrong
01:11:20Is getting old
01:11:28Suffocated
01:11:30and isolated
01:11:32I've an easy fix
01:11:34You're looking
01:11:36to be emancipated
01:11:38Baby, this is it
01:11:42And I'm not gonna stop you
01:11:44If you really want to quit
01:11:46But I'm getting sick
01:11:48and tired of this
01:11:50Your pain and sweat
01:12:02Hey, man.
01:12:04Not doing too well,
01:12:06but I'll be there at the job.
01:12:16Oh
01:12:20Suffocated
01:12:22and isolated
01:12:24I've an easy fix
01:12:26And I'm not gonna
01:12:28stop you
01:12:30If you really want to quit
01:12:32But I'm getting sick
01:12:34and tired of this
01:12:36Your pain
01:12:38and sweat
01:12:40Okay
01:12:42Hold that.
01:12:44Oh, Carlos.
01:12:46Carlos here.
01:12:52Carlos.
01:12:54Carlos, I need to talk to you.
01:12:56I'm busy.
01:12:58Carlos, please.
01:13:00You know, Carlos, I'm gonna go grab some coffee. You want some?
01:13:02No, no. I'm fine. Thank you.
01:13:06I have nothing to say to you.
01:13:08I saw you last night. Luisa, she died trying to get back.
01:13:10She hates me.
01:13:12I know. Alan told me.
01:13:16I see you do, too.
01:13:18You don't get to choose who cares about you.
01:13:20You think I don't care about her?
01:13:22She deserves better than me.
01:13:24You both do.
01:13:26You can keep pretending that she doesn't need you.
01:13:28That she'd be better off.
01:13:30That you'd be better off being alone.
01:13:32We'd light a candle together
01:13:34and laugh.
01:13:36Is there any chance
01:13:38they were wrong?
01:13:42No.
01:13:44No.
01:13:46They made me look at a picture.
01:13:56I never knew my dad.
01:14:02I just had my mom.
01:14:06Now I guess
01:14:08they're together again.
01:14:10Without me.
01:14:16Can I light a candle for your mom, too?
01:14:22Yeah.
01:14:36Before I ran away
01:14:38to Sloan's,
01:14:40I threw away all these pictures
01:14:42I made for Chloe.
01:15:00I found out later
01:15:02that Chloe rescued them
01:15:04from the trash
01:15:06and put them in frames
01:15:08because she loved them.
01:15:12She told me
01:15:14you never throw away
01:15:16something you love.
01:15:34Ah!
01:15:36Oh my goodness, Chico!
01:15:38You came back!
01:15:40Oh, you came
01:15:42back!
01:15:44Oh my goodness.
01:15:48You want a tortilla?
01:15:50Let's get a tortilla.
01:15:58Hey.
01:16:01Chico!
01:16:03Chico!
01:16:05You're back. I knew you'd be back.
01:16:07I thought that would make you happy.
01:16:09Thank you.
01:16:11Where did you find him?
01:16:13He came home.
01:16:15Sammy, why don't you bring
01:16:17Chico over here?
01:16:19Yeah, sure.
01:16:30I made tortillas
01:16:32from scratch.
01:16:34You were right. It is a lot of work.
01:16:36And you really do kind of have to
01:16:38make a mess in order to
01:16:40get it right and roll them properly.
01:16:47I'm sorry
01:16:49that you thought that
01:16:51I didn't want you.
01:16:53That's not the case.
01:16:55I heard what Carlos said.
01:16:57I know.
01:16:59And that might have been the truth at first.
01:17:01But
01:17:03I didn't know you.
01:17:05I didn't know what you would bring to my life.
01:17:07And now, what am I supposed to do?
01:17:09Because I can't imagine not having you
01:17:11in it.
01:17:13Don't cry.
01:17:15Alex,
01:17:17can I ask you something?
01:17:23Will you be my family?
01:17:26You have taught me
01:17:28so much.
01:17:30You have
01:17:32brought me back to life.
01:17:42I love you.
01:17:44I will be your family,
01:17:46Chloe.
01:17:48I love you too,
01:17:50Alexandra.
01:17:56The judge will see you now.
01:18:06You ready?
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:12I am Chloe Wilson,
01:18:14and I am applying for permanent guardianship
01:18:16of Alexandra Rosa Ramirez.
01:18:18This child has brought me back
01:18:20to life.
01:18:22When I felt that my heart was hardened
01:18:24and stone and cold,
01:18:26she proved
01:18:28that I was wrong.
01:18:30I promise
01:18:32that I will do everything in my power
01:18:34to care for her, to honor her
01:18:36and her mother,
01:18:38and to treat her as if she were my own.
01:18:40I beg you
01:18:42to consider.
01:18:46Um, may I approach
01:18:48the bench?
01:18:50Um, may I approach the bench?
01:18:52So, my emergency petition
01:18:54to have the home licensed
01:18:56actually went through
01:18:58very quickly, and I'm really hoping to get
01:19:00Alex permanency before Christmas.
01:19:04Okay.
01:19:11Day before Christmas,
01:19:13I'm missing my eggnog.
01:19:20Well,
01:19:22it appears that Ms. Henley's
01:19:24unorthodox methods have
01:19:26resulted in a good
01:19:28outcome for this child.
01:19:30I am inclined
01:19:34to approve this petition.
01:19:36Thank you, Your Honor.
01:19:42Thank you.
01:19:44Can we approach?
01:19:46A picture?
01:19:48It's a good approach anyway, sir.
01:19:50Can we take a picture of us?
01:19:52We'll keep it in the middle.
01:20:04Which one should I open first?
01:20:06Whichever one you want.
01:20:12Sounds like dog bones.
01:20:14I think this one's for Chico.
01:20:16Uh, you're right.
01:20:18I forgot to put a label on it.
01:20:20Why don't you try this one?
01:20:22Someone's at the door.
01:20:32Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:20:34Merry Christmas.
01:20:36Carlos!
01:20:38Who's Carlos?
01:20:40Ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:20:42Merry Christmas.
01:20:44Merry Christmas, Santa.
01:20:46Hello, young lady.
01:20:48And for you,
01:20:50look what I have here.
01:20:54Is it okay if I open
01:20:56Carlos' gift first?
01:20:58I don't know. You're the boss.
01:21:00Not today. Yes, whatever you want,
01:21:02little lady.
01:21:04Thank you
01:21:06for being here.
01:21:10I would always be here
01:21:12for you, Chloe.
01:21:14Would you let me?
01:21:16Chloe, look.
01:21:18Oh, cool gift.
01:21:20Art supplies.
01:21:22After I saw that dresser,
01:21:24I realized what an artist you are.
01:21:26You know, maybe I was thinking
01:21:28that you can paint me a starfish.
01:21:30Blue starfish, like my pancakes.
01:21:32Yeah, that would be perfect.
01:21:38Maybe I'll paint a picture of Chico
01:21:40for you.
01:21:42Oh, Chloe?
01:21:52This one's for you.
01:21:54Alex, you don't have to.
01:21:56No, please.
01:21:58She'd want you to have it.
01:22:10It's...
01:22:12It's beautiful.
01:22:16Thank you.
01:22:18I have one more present for you.
01:22:20I can't believe
01:22:22she gave this to me.
01:22:24Alex loves you.
01:22:26You are a wonderful person.
01:22:32Chloe?
01:22:34Mm-hmm?
01:22:36I made this for you.
01:22:38Thank you.
01:22:42My mom loved the ocean,
01:22:44and when she died,
01:22:46I wasn't gonna finish it.
01:22:48But I hope you like it.
01:22:50I love it.
01:22:52Your office is boring.
01:22:54It needs color.
01:22:56Hey.
01:22:58Oh, and there's three starfishes.
01:23:00Me, you, and Carlos.
01:23:02Whoa, I made it.
01:23:04You made it.
01:23:06I have a special gift
01:23:08for you, too.
01:23:20It was Adam's favorite.
01:23:22I think he would want you
01:23:24to have it.
01:23:30Should you put it on the tree?
01:23:32Yes.
01:23:36Thank you.
01:23:40Your mother will always be with you.
01:23:48And Adam will always be with you, too.
01:23:56Carlos, can you help me?
01:23:58Sure.
01:24:00Okay, let's go.
01:24:02Ah! Ah!
01:24:06Perfect.
01:24:10We love you, too, Chico.
01:24:12We love you, too.
01:24:16Looking back, it was a tough year, Mommy.
01:24:20But I feel like I found a family
01:24:22in Carlos and Chloe.
01:24:26I've missed you every day.
01:24:28You're always in my heart.
01:24:30So is Poppy
01:24:32and your love for each other.
01:24:34I will never forget
01:24:36my family
01:24:38like Chloe will never forget hers.
01:24:40But...
01:24:42you know, that's a matter.
01:24:44I know that I said
01:24:46that at first, but I was just about to...
01:24:48To change your mind again?
01:24:50I know people like you.
01:24:52Bait and switch.
01:24:54When life gets too tough or you feel like
01:24:56putting up those walls again,
01:24:58you put work first.
01:25:00But she's not one of your hard drives.
01:25:02No, she's a human being.
01:25:04And she has feelings.
01:25:06Her mom is coming back.
01:25:08Oh, really?
01:25:10You know nothing about deportation.
01:25:12It could take years.
01:25:14What if she doesn't come back at all?
01:25:16Huh?
01:25:18Her mom was taken away for no other reason
01:25:20than not having the right paperwork
01:25:22to be on the wrong side of an imaginary line.
01:25:24And what are you doing?
01:25:26You're gonna send Alex on her own.
01:25:28Yeah.
01:25:30Nice.
01:25:34Gotta get out of here.
01:25:36Hey.
01:25:38Uh...
01:25:40Chloe, I have news.
01:25:42Uh, Alex's mom...
01:25:46She was so desperate to get...
01:25:48to get back to her,
01:25:50she tried to...

01:26:00And, uh...
01:26:02the undercurrent pulled her.
01:26:04And she...
01:26:06she didn't make it.

01:26:16No, she'd made it before.
01:26:18I know. I'm so sorry.
01:26:20You can make it. You're fine.
01:26:22Don't judge me.
01:26:24You never wanted me anyway.
01:26:26I would hope I was loaded, Alan.
01:26:28They care about me.
01:26:32No!
01:26:34No!
01:26:36No!
01:26:38No!
01:26:40And just like that, Mom,
01:26:42you were gone.
01:26:48This is the part
01:26:50where it's over.
01:26:52Over.
01:26:54Sending my heart
01:26:56down the river.
01:27:00New from the start
01:27:02I deliver.

01:27:16and forgotten.
01:27:19Riding the tide

01:27:25Try to decide
01:27:27where
01:27:29I went wrong.
01:27:31It's getting
01:27:33old.
01:27:39Suffocated
01:27:41and isolated
01:27:43I've been easy fix.
01:27:45You're looking to me
01:27:47emancipated.
01:27:49Baby, this is it.
01:27:52And I'm not gonna stop you
01:27:54if you really

01:29:04Carlos, I need to talk to you.
01:29:06I'm busy.
01:29:07Carlos, please.
01:29:09You know, Carlos, I'm gonna go grab some coffee.
01:29:11You want some?
01:29:12No, no, I'm fine. Thank you.
01:29:15I have nothing to say to you.
01:29:17Alex lost her mother last night.
01:29:19Luisa, she died trying to get back.
01:29:21She hates me.
01:29:23I know. Alan told me.
01:29:27I see you do, too.
01:29:29You don't get to choose who cares about you.
01:29:31You think I don't care about her?
01:29:33She deserves better than me.
01:29:35You both do.
01:29:36You can keep pretending that she doesn't need you.
01:29:38That she'd be better off.
01:29:40That you'd be better off being alone.
01:29:42And we'd light a candle together
01:29:44and laugh.
01:29:46Is there any chance
01:29:48they were wrong?

01:30:17Without me.
01:30:22Can I light a candle for your mom, too?
01:30:28Yeah.
01:30:31Yeah.
01:30:52Before we went away to Sloan's,
01:30:54I threw away all these pictures I made for Chloe.
01:31:01I found out later
01:31:03that Chloe rescued them from the trash
01:31:05and put them in frames because
01:31:08she loved them.
01:31:12She told me,
01:31:14you never throw away something you love.
01:31:19I don't know.
01:31:21I don't know.
01:31:23I don't know.
01:31:25I don't know.
01:31:27I don't know.
01:31:29I don't know.
01:31:45Oh my goodness!
01:31:47G-Girl, you came back!
01:31:51Oh, you came back!
01:31:54Oh my goodness.
01:31:57You want a tortilla?
01:31:59Let's get a tortilla.
01:32:08Hey.
01:32:11Chico!
01:32:13Chico!
01:32:15You're back. I knew you'd be back.
01:32:17I thought that would make you happy.
01:32:19Thank you.
01:32:21Where did you find him?
01:32:23He came home.
01:32:26Sammy, why don't you bring Chico over here?
01:32:28Yeah, sure.
01:32:40I made tortillas.
01:32:42From scratch.
01:32:44You were right. It is a lot of work.
01:32:46And you really do kind of have to make a mess
01:32:48in order to get it right
01:32:50and roll them properly.
01:32:57I'm sorry
01:32:59that you thought that I didn't want you.
01:33:02That's not the case.
01:33:04I heard what Carla said.
01:33:06I know.
01:33:08And that might have been the truth at first,
01:33:10but I didn't know you.
01:33:13I didn't know what you would bring to my life.
01:33:15And now I...
01:33:17What am I supposed to do?
01:33:19Because I can't imagine not having you in it.
01:33:21It's okay. Don't cry.
01:33:26Alex, can I ask you something?
01:33:33Will you be my family?
01:33:37You have taught me so much.
01:33:40You have...
01:33:42brought me back to life.
01:33:50I...
01:33:52I love you.
01:33:55I will be your family, Chloe.
01:33:57Bye.
01:33:59I love you, too, Alexandra.
01:34:11The judge will see you now.
01:34:20You ready?
01:34:22Yeah.
01:34:26I am Chloe Wilson,
01:34:28and I am applying for permanent guardianship
01:34:30of Alexandra Rosa Ramirez.
01:34:33This child has brought me back to life.
01:34:36When I felt that my heart was hardened
01:34:38and stone and cold,
01:34:41she proved that I was wrong.
01:34:45I promise that I will do everything in my power
01:34:48to care for her, to honor her and her mother,
01:34:51and to treat her as if she were my own.
01:34:54I beg you to consider.
01:34:59Um, may I approach the bench?
01:35:02So, my emergency petition
01:35:04to have the home licensed
01:35:06actually went through very quickly,
01:35:08and I'm really hoping to get Alex permanency
01:35:11before Christmas.
01:35:21Day before Christmas, I'm missing my eggnog.
01:35:30Well, it appears that Ms. Henley's unorthodox methods
01:35:35have resulted in a good outcome for this child.
01:35:40I am inclined...
01:35:43to approve this petition.
01:35:46Thank you, Your Honor.
01:35:48Oh, my goodness!
01:35:52Thank you.
01:35:54Can we approach?
01:35:55Can we have a picture, please?
01:35:57We're just going to approach anyway, sir.
01:35:59Can you take a picture of us?
01:36:01I'll get in the middle.
01:36:14Which one should I open first?
01:36:15Whichever one you want.
01:36:19Hmm.
01:36:22Oh.
01:36:23Sounds like dog bones.
01:36:25I think this one's for Chico.
01:36:27Uh, you're right.
01:36:28I forgot to put a label on it.
01:36:30Why don't you try this one?
01:36:34Someone's at the door.
01:36:42Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:36:44Merry Christmas.
01:36:45Carlos!
01:36:47Who's Carlos?
01:36:48Ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:36:50Merry Christmas.
01:36:52Feliz Navidad.
01:36:54Merry Christmas, Santa.
01:36:55Hello, young lady.
01:36:58And for you...
01:37:00Look what I have here.
01:37:05Is it okay if I open Carlos' gift first?
01:37:08I don't know. You're the boss.
01:37:10Not today.
01:37:11Yes, whatever you want, little lady.
01:37:14Thank you for being here.
01:37:19I would always be here if you let me.
01:37:22Would you let me?
01:37:25Chloe, look!
01:37:27Oh, cool gift! Art supplies!
01:37:30After I saw that dresser, I realized what an artist you are.
01:37:34You know, maybe I was thinking that you could paint me a starfish.
01:37:38Blue starfish. Like my pancakes.
01:37:40Yeah, that would be perfect.
01:37:42Perfect.
01:37:47Maybe I'll paint a picture of Chico.
01:37:49Oh, you good boy.
01:37:51Oh, Chloe?
01:38:02This one's for you.
01:38:03Alex, you don't have to.
01:38:06No, please.
01:38:08She'd want you to have it.
01:38:13Wow.
01:38:18It's beautiful.
01:38:23Thank you.
01:38:24Oh, I have one more present for you.
01:38:28I can't believe she gave this to me.
01:38:31Well, she loves you.
01:38:33You are a wonderful person.
01:38:36Chloe?
01:38:37Hmm?
01:38:38Hmm?
01:38:39Mm-hmm?
01:38:40I made this for you.
01:38:42You made this, too?
01:38:48My mom loved the ocean,
01:38:50and when she died, I wasn't gonna finish it.
01:38:54But I hope you like it.
01:38:57I love it.
01:38:59Your office is boring. It needs color.
01:39:01Hey!
01:39:02Hey!
01:39:03Hey!
01:39:04Hey!
01:39:05It needs color.
01:39:06Hey!
01:39:07Oh, and there's three starfishes.
01:39:09Me, you, and Carlos.
01:39:13Whoa, I made it.
01:39:14You made it.
01:39:15Will you hold it?
01:39:18I have a special gift for you, too.
01:39:31It was Adam's favorite.
01:39:34I think he would want you to have it.
01:39:41Should I put it on the tree?
01:39:43Yes.
01:39:50Your mother will always be with you.
01:39:58And Adam will always be with you, too.
01:40:05Carlos, can you help me?
01:40:08Sure.
01:40:09Okay, let's go.
01:40:19We love you, too, Chico.
01:40:21We love you, too.
01:40:25Looking back, it was a tough year, Mommy.
01:40:29But I feel like I found a family in Carlos and Chloe.
01:40:35I've missed you every day.
01:40:38You're always in my heart.
01:40:40So is Papi and your love for each other.
01:40:44I will never forget my family like Chloe will never forget hers.
