1
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,480
Oops!

2
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,660
It's okay.

3
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:21,070
Go sharpen it.

4
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:25,720
Wow, that's a cool dragon.

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,750
It can fly way up high!

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,550
Wow!

7
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:34,410
Beautiful colors.

8
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:38,770
Is that a spaceship or a toaster?

9
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:39,750
Both.

10
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:41,070
Of course it is.

11
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:42,340
Carry on, inventor.

12
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:43,250
Miss Roya,

13
00:00:43,330 --> 00:00:45,380
look, I made a three-headed unicorn!

14
00:00:46,050 --> 00:00:48,740
Well, maybe no five-headed
unicorns just yet.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,720
Wonderful.

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,800
Wow.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Amazing.

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,930
That's very powerful, Sophia.

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,630
It's not just a room.

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,010
Did it feel lonely or locked?

21
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,150
It just felt quiet.

22
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:29,740
Quiet like heavy?

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,920
[BELL RINGS]

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,730
Uh, okay, everybody, if you're done,

25
00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:40,250
just leave your drawings on my desk.

26
00:01:40,330 --> 00:01:41,510
Have a great day.

27
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:42,590
Thank you.

28
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:44,370
Sophia.

29
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,610
What happened?

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,070
It's... It's nothing, really.

31
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:52,060
Sophia.

32
00:01:52,540 --> 00:01:54,410
Nothing doesn't leave a mark.

33
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:35,020
Sometimes the shadows don't disappear.

34
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:38,360
They're cast from one soul to another.

35
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,530
Sneaky as always.

36
00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:57,270
Hey, I didn't see you in the break room.

37
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:58,660
Everything okay?

38
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:00,960
Look at these drawings.

39
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,730
They're all the same and no doors.

40
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,590
Something's wrong.

41
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:07,740
Wrong?

42
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:08,660
Wrong how?

43
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:09,790
What are you seeing?

44
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,910
She's seven.

45
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:13,540
She's clearly scared.

46
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:15,410
She's drawing herself in a box.

47
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:17,520
And you saw it right away.

48
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,270
You can feel it.

49
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:21,290
Even on paper.

50
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,690
She hasn't said a word.

51
00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:26,370
But she's been talking all along.

52
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,350
This one feels heavy.

53
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,010
Did little Roya express
herself the same way?

54
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,170
There's a lot you don't know.

55
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:40,280
Then let me in.

56
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:52,860
Back home, my father
thought books would ruin me.

57
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:59,440
He thought a little girl
belonged in the home.

58
00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:05,500
He burned them right in front of me.

59
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:10,820
My misery meant nothing to him.

60
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,110
He called it obedience.

61
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:20,660
And I just stood there.

62
00:04:21,710 --> 00:04:22,710
Helpless.

63
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Afraid.

64
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,250
But that same fire forged by tenacity.

65
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:37,870
And now, now I see this little girl.

66
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:42,770
Imprisoned in real life.

67
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,850
But seemingly free on paper.

68
00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:49,760
And I can feel her agony.

69
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:53,130
Roya, you've weathered storms before.

70
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:54,570
Okay? This can get complicated.

71
00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:57,230
But you can't save every child.

72
00:04:57,310 --> 00:04:59,160
Well, what about right versus wrong?

73
00:04:59,930 --> 00:05:01,570
I get you.

74
00:05:01,650 --> 00:05:02,170
Okay?

75
00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:04,500
But most people, they look away.

76
00:05:05,090 --> 00:05:08,400
They convince themselves
that silence is safer.

77
00:05:15,630 --> 00:05:17,210
Remember what we talked about.

78
00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:18,500
I heard you.

79
00:05:21,730 --> 00:05:22,730
Hi.

80
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:26,100
Thank you both so much for coming.

81
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:28,650
I really appreciate you making the time.

82
00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:32,820
I wanted to talk to you about a few
things I've noticed with Sophia.

83
00:05:33,090 --> 00:05:33,890
Of course.

84
00:05:33,970 --> 00:05:35,340
Anything for our daughter.

85
00:05:35,550 --> 00:05:37,660
Quiet kid, but she's great.

86
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:40,280
Yes.

87
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:42,350
Very thoughtful.

88
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,430
But these drawings,

89
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:50,230
they're saying things
she hasn't said out loud.

90
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:52,740
It's as if they're speaking for her.

91
00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:58,240
They're pictures, Miss Roya.

92
00:05:58,790 --> 00:06:02,080
Children like to draw monsters
when they're scared of the dark.

93
00:06:02,610 --> 00:06:04,580
Doesn't mean the monster is real.

94
00:06:05,010 --> 00:06:07,200
I do understand that.

95
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:13,260
But sometimes what they draw
is more than just imagination.

96
00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:17,680
It's a clue into what they're carrying.

97
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:20,290
Kids imagine all sorts of things.

98
00:06:20,370 --> 00:06:22,180
Doesn't mean something's wrong.

99
00:06:23,710 --> 00:06:25,640
Well, my father was strict.

100
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:27,980
But I turned out fine.

101
00:06:28,650 --> 00:06:30,240
I have a job.

102
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:31,410
Family.

103
00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:34,030
Survival.

104
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:35,760
That's the point.

105
00:06:36,590 --> 00:06:39,800
There's a difference between
surviving and being safe.

106
00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:42,780
You read too much into drawings.

107
00:06:44,050 --> 00:06:46,430
I'm not reading into anything.

108
00:06:46,510 --> 00:06:48,960
I'm seeing what's right in front of me.

109
00:06:50,170 --> 00:06:52,060
She's asking to be heard.

110
00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:54,700
And you think she's talking to you?

111
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:57,620
You've known her for a few weeks.

112
00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:01,760
You don't need years to recognize fear.

113
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,460
Sometimes all it takes is one moment.

114
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:07,690
You're overreaching, don't you think?

115
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:12,680
Mrs. Parker,

116
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:18,450
has Sophia ever said anything
to you about how she feels?

117
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,350
She is.

118
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:24,130
Happy when she draws.

119
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,790
That's where she finds solace.

120
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,520
Then she's not just putting
random things on paper.

121
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600
We don't appreciate being called
in for this sort of nonsense.

122
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,920
Sophia's fine.

123
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,160
She's fed.

124
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,240
She's dressed.

125
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,220
And has a roof over her head.

126
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:44,870
What more do you want?

127
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:48,350
She doesn't appear to feel safe.

128
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:49,990
We are done here.

129
00:07:51,850 --> 00:07:52,810
Come on.

130
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:54,040
Let's go.

131
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Hey.

132
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,750
If she ever says more to
you, you can come back.

133
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,750
With or without him.

134
00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:22,730
Wrath can be eerily quiet.

135
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,050
But it always scars.

136
00:08:34,650 --> 00:08:36,800
Everything okay, Miss Roya?

137
00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:40,630
Um, I'm worried about one of my students.

138
00:08:40,710 --> 00:08:41,710
Sophia?

139
00:08:42,430 --> 00:08:45,080
Her drawings suggest something's wrong.

140
00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:46,920
In what way?

141
00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:49,200
Monsters and shadows.

142
00:08:50,110 --> 00:08:52,810
That's half the artwork
we have at this school.

143
00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:55,080
This isn't just imagination.

144
00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:58,640
I'm worried she might not be safe.

145
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:04,470
You're a teacher.

146
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:06,020
Not a detective.

147
00:09:07,050 --> 00:09:08,240
Tread carefully.

148
00:09:08,390 --> 00:09:10,920
I'm also here to protect my students.

149
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,840
Especially the quiet ones.

150
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:15,870
Listen.

151
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:20,890
When you make claims like this,
it triggers a chain reaction.

152
00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:25,610
Of police, child services, press, donors.

153
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,410
We don't recover from that.

154
00:09:27,490 --> 00:09:29,300
Do you remember last year?

155
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,260
So, we're just gonna protect
the school's image over a child?

156
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:41,230
There are lines we don't cross.

157
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,480
Please.

158
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:47,270
You cannot just look at these
drawings and brush them off.

159
00:09:48,260 --> 00:09:51,610
They reveal isolation, fear.

160
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,750
There's physical signs, too.

161
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,030
Let's say you're right.

162
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,930
Where's your proof?

163
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,560
You have none.

164
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,940
If you insist on an investigation,
this school will protect itself.

165
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:07,870
The fallout will fall on you first.

166
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,410
This meeting is over.

167
00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:30,890
What's buried in silence will grow roots.

168
00:10:41,660 --> 00:10:42,930
Long day, huh?

169
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,850
I'm used to it.

170
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,670
Any more concerning doodles?

171
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:51,270
One too many.

172
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:53,610
Trying to crack the Da Vinci Code?

173
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
It can burn you out real fast, you know.

174
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,700
I don't need to decode
what's in plain daylight.

175
00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:02,650
You seem very interested in my daughter.

176
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,570
Too interested, maybe.

177
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:06,820
Mr. Parker.

178
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:12,150
Some things are better left
alone, for your own good.

179
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:14,300
Mr. Parker, I just—

180
00:11:14,380 --> 00:11:15,610
You listen now.

181
00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:18,700
You barely know my daughter.

182
00:11:18,780 --> 00:11:20,500
You don't see her when she gets home.

183
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:23,670
So, in fact, you don't know much at all.

184
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,760
I think she's reaching out
even when she's not talking.

185
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,480
If any help were needed, it
would come from me, not you.

186
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:34,860
I'm the one holding this family together.

187
00:11:34,940 --> 00:11:36,340
