1:06:00
She came to us
eight months pregnant.
1:06:02
- Did she have her baby here?
- Yes.
1:06:04
And you arranged
for the adoption?
1:06:06
That's right.
1:06:08
- And the father?
- There was none.
1:06:13
Half the mothers
that come to us say that.
1:06:15
So, what did she think
got her pregnant?
1:06:18
Evelyn wasn't well.
1:06:20
She had been having problems
during the pregnancy:
1:06:22
Hallucinations, visions.
1:06:25
She believed some thing
had come for her baby
1:06:28
from the waters of the world

1:06:31
I'm sorry. Did you say water?
1:06:33

For Evelyn,

She blamed her troubles
on her child.
1:06:50
So she tried to kill it.
1:06:58
All babies are a challenge.
1:07:01
But Samara, she never cried.
1:07:05
Never.
1:07:07
Except when her mother
would try to bathe her.
1:07:09
Then she'd scream like it
was the end of the world.
1:07:18
It was the screaming that woke us.
1:07:28
Evelyn, don't!
1:07:36
Evelyn!
1:07:38
Evelyn, stop!
1:07:52
She was trying
to drown the baby.
1:07:54
The baby was taken from her,
of course.
1:07:57
Evelyn was institutionalized.
1:07:59
And all those pictures
she'd been collecting,
