Previously on Miracles.
You don't have parents?
Everyone's got parents, I just never knew mine.
- I'm afraid there's no miracle here. -What?
You should see their faces. They look gut-punched every time.
I just show up, deliver the bad news, and move on.
What's the point of faith if it's never tested?
You do play a significant role in all of this.
Well, what about Paul?
Wouldn't this thing target Paul in two seconds flat?
You were shot by a 140 year old bullet.
Paul is on a spiritual journey. This is something
that few of us undertake, and as in Paul's case,
it is not that one chooses, rather, one is chosen.
Pray.
Is that Josiah?
Oh, the fever won't break. I'm fearing for her, Miriam.
Give it time. She's a strong girl.
The Flodes are out of ice, so I had to go to Everly's Market.
Mother.
Oh, Father in Heaven!
You don't know me. You don't know me...
S01E09 Mother's Daughter
- Mommy! - Paul!
Mommy! Mommy!
Hello?
An orderly called us from a hospital in Pennsylvania this morning.
Hospital?
Yes, he had quite a story to tell. Are you ready to take a trip?
Yeah, okay. When do you want to meet?
Now. I'm downstairs.
You say stigmata, and people see blood pouring
from the palm of a person's hand, but in actual crucifixions,
they always went through the wrists. Hands would tear.
If she's bleeding from the wrists, it could be miraculous
intervention, but it's more likely a suicide attempt.
That's the problem, you see, she's bleeding from the wrists,
but according to the information I was given,
there aren't any wounds.
That doesn't make sense.
A real stigmata has real wounds.
You're the expert.
Hannah?
My name is Alva Keel. This is Paul Callan.
We'd like to talk to you about why you're here.
Where's my mother?
- I want to go home. - I know.
Do you know why you're in restraints, Hannah?
They said I was violent.
We were told you were brought here because your wrists were bleeding.
Has this ever happened before?
Did you cut your own wrists?
No.
Do you know why they were bleeding?
Because I dreamed it.
Mother.
Mother, I'm so glad you're here.
Who are you and what are you doing here?
We look into things like.. stigmata.
Do you know these men?
No.
You'll have to leave.
This girl did not try to take her own life.
I told them the same thing, but they don't believe me.
I knew bringing her here was a mistake.
So, tell me, if this girl did try to cut her own wrists,
why are there no wounds?
Of course there are wounds.
Well, then show us.
I'm not gonna..
Please, doctor, I'd like to see them, too.
That's impossible.
There's got to be some kind of mistake.
There were wounds when they brought her in.
Hannah is a precious child of this community.
We do not take those that impose on us lightly.
She's sleeping now, but she's still very warm.
Ignore Caleb. He is an Elder and will always be suspect of strangers.
Please, sit down.
Is Hannah crazy?
I don't think so.
Then why does she act so weird?
What do you mean?
For the last few weeks, she has acted like..
I don't know, someone else, even sleepwalking.
Last Wednesday, the police found her at the roadside
in the middle of the night dancing.
What does your father say about this?
My father's dead.
He drowned rescuing Hannah.
When she was seven, she fell through the ice on the lake.
When mother got her to ground, she thought she was dead.
Five minutes passed before she breathed.
It's late.
Yes, of course.
Josiah, take Emma.
Hannah?
Hannah, can you hear me?
Who are you?
What are you doing in my room?
My name's Paul. We met at the hospital.
Are you a doctor?
I'm sick of doctors... traipsing through here.
Crap! These bandages itch.
Would you stop staring at me?
You're giving me the creeps.
Who are you again?
Paul.
Paul Callan.
You're cute, Paul.
You got anything to drink?
Not on me.
She hides the booze now, the mother-from-hell nazi.
I don't even think they keep it in the house anymore,
afraid I'm gonna go on one of my binges again.
I hate you! You hear that?
Do you ever feel like you're alone?
Like the people that are supposed to love you
don't even know you exist?
Sometimes.
I've looked out this window since I was a kid.
Describe it for me.
The buildings, the big church.. the endless string of cars.
It's weird...
living up in the sky makes everything below you seem so small.
What's your name?
My name is Lucinda, but people call me "Cinda."
Cinda Morgan-Bryant.
I need to sleep.
Wait.
How can I talk to you again?
Call me.
Unless you're some pervy old guy, because I'm not into that.
The number she gave me was disconnected.
That would've been too easy, wouldn't it?
Yeah. Maybe we were wrong to take Hannah out of the hospital.
She's got all the signs of a multiple personality,
dissociated consciousness, childhood trauma of her father's death,
oppressive life.
How often does a multiple personality have its own telephone number?
Does that look like a "6" to you?
Zero.
Yes, I'm trying to get in touch with a Lucinda Morgan-Bryant.
Who is this?
I'm sorry to disturb you, but is there a Lucinda at this number?
This is her mother. Who are you?
My name's Paul Callan.
I see..
Thank you.
What'd they say?
There is a Lucinda.
She died..
10 years ago.
Well, it's not the happiest story,
father's a lawyer, mother's an art dealer.
Ten years ago they lost their only child to suicide.
She was eighteen.
Her name was Lucinda Morgan-Bryant.
She died December 12th. It made headlines at the time.
Her parents were New York socialites.
Any reason these girls would know of each other?
Nothing that I can see.
Evelyn, how'd you get this information?
On-line.
So, you'd need a computer to find this out?
Or a library card.
Paul, do you think this girl's faking it?
Uh, it's a possibility.
Well, the phone number she gave you is listed.
I'm e-mailing something to you now, so just call me
if you need anything else.
- Why would she kill herself? - Why don't you ask her?
Lucinda?
Who's Lucinda?
Lucinda Morgan-Bryant. Don't you know who that is?
You've been sleeping a lot. You been having any dreams?
What?
I dream that I'm falling, and that everything is cold and dark.
You've been.. talking in your sleep, saying you're someone else.
Lucinda?
Are you sure you don't know who that is?
Why, what's wrong?
I don't know.
The name makes me sad.
We don't encourage our children to draw themselves.
We have a prohibition against graven images, but..
she loved it so much, I had to let her.
I live a simple life, Mr. Keel, but I'm not a simple woman.
You need to tell me what's going on.
I'm not sure.
Was there ever a point Hannah was different?
After my husband died, everything was different in this house.
I was different, and Hannah was different.
She would lock herself away in her room, draw for hours.
When did her father die?
10 years ago, December 12th - she was seven.
Who is this little girl holding hands with Hannah?
Oh, that's her imaginary friend, Linda.
Lucinda slit her wrists the same day
Hannah's father died rescuing her.
So, you're saying Hannah's possessed by Lucinda's ghost?
No, I think we're dealing with a case of reincarnation.
Reincarnation?
Professor Ian Stevenson at the University of Virginia
is an expert on the subject.
He described an incident in India where a child appeared to die.
Now, when the child was revived, he claimed to be an entirely
different person, a person who, in fact, had been killed
at the same time as the child's accident.
And you think that's what's happening here?
No, not exactly.
Hannah, still with us, is revived, and with her comes Lucinda.
See, cases like this are few and far between,
but they can still be classified as reincarnation.
- I don't buy it. - Why not?
Why not?
Because we haven't exhausted the other alternatives.
Maybe she does have a personality disorder. Maybe she's faking it.
Maybe she has a brain tumor.
Souls don't just randomly take over other people's bodies.
It isn't random. Souls reincarnate for a reason,
typically to work out unresolved conflicts.
It doesn't make sense.
What does makes sense?
We die and if we've been good, we go to heaven? If not, we go to hell?
I am worried she's slowly slipping away,
and eventually, she'll be gone forever.
There's got to be something we can do to save Hannah.
Stevenson followed the child in India for 15 years.
The original soul never returned.
I can't accept that. Elizabeth's not going to lose her daughter.
What do you have in mind?
I'm going to New York. I want to talk to Lucinda's parents.
If you think there's value in it, I wouldn't waste any time.
The clock is ticking.
Madison 316, across the spire and near the green...
Mr. Callan?
Yes.
Come in.
I apologize for intruding, but I need your help.
There's an amish girl in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Her name is Hannah Cattrall.
- Do you recognize the name? - No.
This girl has been having some, uh, some episodes
in which she thinks she's your daughter, Lucinda.
What do you mean, she thinks she's our daughter?
Well, she takes on a whole other personality.
This personality calls herself Lucinda Morgan-Bryant.
She says things Hannah never would.
Like what?
"She hides the booze now. The, uh, mother-from-hell nazi.
I don't even think they keep it in the house anymore.
scared I'm gonna go on one of my binges."
Mr. Callan, what exactly do you want from us?
Just your help. I'm trying to rule out any possibility of contact
between your two families.
I'm sorry. We don't know these people.
We can't help you.
Thanks for your time.
Excuse me.
- Hello. - Paul, it's Evelyn.
I got the results from the bloodstained sheet you sent me.
The blood isn't Hannah's. It's AB negative - very rare.
It's only found in one percent of the population.
Paul?
Yeah, I'm here. Thanks.
Do you remember what your daughter's blood type was?
- Mr. Callan, I don't see that's.. - Was it AB negative?
Yes, it's very rare.
- What's going on here? - Please..
Can you tell me why your daughter committed suicide?
No.
She was on drugs.
We didn't see it.. although we weren't looking very hard.
If your child acts like she doesn't need you long enough,
eventually you make the mistake of believing her.
It's not a mistake we'd make again.
If we've learned anything in the last ten years, it's that..
you don't get a second chance.
I'm sorry.
Can I help you?
Look, I'm sorry, I know I should've called. Don't get all depressive, ok?
You were right. Happy now? They stole my bag.
Loser model freaks.
God, I am so tired.
Did you do something to your hair?
You all right, mom?
You look..
old.
Hi, dad. Oh, god.
Martin.
It's her.
It's okay. It's okay.
She smells like Cinda.
When did you have time to paint?
And you moved the coffee table.
What's going on?
Sprytle! Here, boy! Sprytle!
Daddy, where's Sprytle?
Sprytle died.
When, last night?!
I know you. You're Paul.
Yes.
Something's wrong here.
I don't feel well.
I'm just gonna..
I drowned.
Hannah?
You're back.
I don't know this place.
You shouldn't.
I feel like I'm still drowning.
I'm just going to lie down for a little bit, okay?
- Hello? - It's Keel. Is she there?
Yeah, but I'm not sure for how much longer.
You better get up here fast.
She's slipping away, isn't she?
- I'll bring her mother. - Hurry.
Hannah?
Stay here, Hannah.
I think it's over.
No. it's not.
You have to fight this.
At the other place, I can count five shadows on the ceiling..
like tiny fingers stretched across the sky.
My mother calls to me,
and I run to stop my brother from stealing the bath.
She plunges her hands through the ice...
..and pulls me to air.
Mother saves me.
I never saw father again.
I want to tell her I'm sorry... but I can't see her face.
I can't remember her face anymore.
Who will remember me now?
Don't go.
Tell my mother I love her.
Stay here, Hannah. She's on her way.
Please, don't go.
Where's Hannah, where's my daughter?
She's, uh, she's sleeping.
I want to see her.
Maybe you should wait until..
Hannah.
I've come to take you home.
But this is my home.
Mom.
- I'm sorry, I don't know you. - No, you're wrong.
Can't you see who you are?
You're Hannah Cattrall.
Wait a minute.
Write down your name and address, and we'll be sure to
contact you if your daughter shows up.
I saw my daughter in that room, but I didn't feel her.
She was gone.
I know it's hard to understand.
My daughter is gone! She doesn't know me.
Why should I understand that?
- In cases of reincarnation.. - Please, don't say that word to me.
Tell me something I can understand.
I know what you're thinking,
why doesn't this amish woman turn to god?
Well, I can't trust a god who could do such a thing.
I don't see the purpose of it.
Why'd you stop measuring me?
You grew up too fast.
I brought you some clothes.
I couldn't bring myself to give them away after you..
Here.
Lucinda loved this dress.
I still do.
Help yourself to all of... your things.
I'm really glad you're home.
Of course I'm happy. I'm delighted. But..
it is strange. I mean, it's like we don't even know her.
It's gonna take time.
We don't even know her.
You don't know me. You don't know me.
I don't know what to do.
I can't leave my daughter,
but how can I stay here when my family needs me?
Perhaps one of us stays here, keeps an eye out.
Excuse me.
I'm never going to see her again, am I?
I'm so sorry..
I tried to keep her here as long as I could.
She wanted me to tell you she was sorry..
for the death of your husband, and.. that she loves you.
But it wasn't her fault.
It wasn't her fault.
Why did this have to happen?
I was going to say we can never..
know the reason these things happen, but..
the fact is, when you lose someone you really love,
no reasons ever good enough.
You lost someone, too.
Your mother?
How old were you?
Five.
Perhaps in a way, I was lucky.
Perhaps in a way, I got 10 more years than I was ever supposed to have.
There's a problem.
She's gone.
What kind of games are you people playing?
I can't do this again. I can't lose her, not again.
I can't lose her. I can't.
Oh, god, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
What does "you don't know me" mean?
That was the last line of Cinda's suicide note.
Where was Cinda when she cut her wrists?
In the bathroom.
That's not how she killed herself. That was two weeks before.
Cinda died by jumping off the roof of this building.
Hannah!
Hannah.
Lucinda. Wait.
Why are you doing this?
Because.. I'm so.. because I'm so angry I..
I want it to stop.. all of it.
I want to go somewhere else.
If you go somewhere else, you'll just be starting again.
You have your whole life ahead of you. Don't give it up.
You don't know me! What do you care what I do with my life?
Because I had a daughter who went away.
And I never got the chance..
to let her know how much I'd lose if she were gone.
You don't know me.
Yes, I do.
You're Lucinda Morgan-Bryant. You have a family.
You are their life.
Please don't throw that away.
She is right.
Please, let us.
Please.
I got you. I got you.
Mother, mother. I just climbed to the highest branch in the oak tree.
Don't worry, mother. I was there - watching out for her.
I am very proud of you.
I got a little scared when I was halfway up, but I just kept going..
