Hey, hello!

-Hello. -Where are you going?

To the kitchen.

What are you carrying there?

Nothing.

Don't worry about it.

Oh my God, you're so annoying!

Where are you going?

To the kitchen!

Come here!

- -

Oh, look who decided to join us.

You're late.

You know lunch doesn't make itself.

Let's wash the lettuce and get to cooking.

Late?

What are you talking about?

English, Carmelita.

I got here early!

We're building skills.

Lita, pay her no mind.

You know Sister Espy gets grumpy right around this time.

Oh, uh-huh.

Oh, .

Laugh it up, you two.

You both know you'll miss me when I'm gone.

Besides, imagine your cooking without my delicate guidance.

Ugh.

No, no, no, no, no flavor, either of you.

Now Carmelita, I want you to assist Sister Anne Marie

with the prep because she needs all the help she can get.

Very funny.

I'm gonna check in with Father Phillip

on the afternoon lessons.

Enjoy your secret smoke break.

Shameless! The both of you.

She got you there.

So, uh,

Rick, right?

-And, uh... -Yes.

Tiffany.

-Yes. -Correct.

Well, I think it's wonderful that, uh,

you both are giving someone, a child,

an opportunity to have a, a normal life.

We have a teenager and her name is Carmelita.

-Ooh. -She is wonderful.

She is, uh, a really incredible child.

She, very smart.

She loves soccer.

Wow. What position?

Uh, I, I don't quite know

-much about- -Rick loves midfield.

Attacking midfielder.

Midfield, that's right.

Well, you're gonna have a lot of things

in common with Carmelita then.

Agent John Crawford?

Agent Brenda Huerta.

Ah. Call me John.

Welcome John , nice to meet you.

Thank you, nice to meet you.

Oh, you speak spanish?

I get by,

but we're, uh, we're probably better off in English.

Okay. Alright, let's hop on.

I'll take you to the station, yeah?

Sounds good. Let's get it.

Show you around.

Sorry I was a little late.

So tell me more about Don Chucho Zaragoza.

Okay, I'm gonna braid your hair, alright?

-Okay. -

You look so pretty.

Hey girls, I heard a secret.

Espy made treats, there might be cookie dough bowls

that need cleaning.

First come, first serve.

None for you?

Nah, let her have it.

She loves it.

But you're helping me

when she's bouncing off these walls later.

Yes, I will help you.

But this doesn't make any sense!

Look, I am as surprised as you are,

but our goal is to match our children

with the right families.

It's what we always hope for.

Who adopts a 15-year-old girl?

Doesn't this concern you?

Sister,

all of our applicants

go through the strictest of interview protocols.

The couple was vetted and deemed a good match.

I know you and Carmelita are close,

but this is in her best interest.

May I ask who the couple is

and why they would want a teenage girl?

It's a gringo couple from the States.

Very nice.

They lost a boy about the same age

and don't wanna raise another young child,

but they wanna create an opportunity for someone in need.

I need to know for certain.

This is important to me.

Carmelita and I, we, we're, we're close.

I don't know all the details about what happened to you,

but Sister Esperanza is very concerned about you.

We all are.

You can't keep projecting your, your, your, your past

on your future.

It's not healthy.

In fact, makes me worried about your ability

to perform your duties here.

This isn't that, this is different.

This feels different.

Please let me see their file for myself.

You that is against procedure.

Please.

You said it yourself, remember?

I'm a lifer.

Like, the little kid's, sure,

but I'm halfway through high school.

This makes no sense.

See?

You know it too.

You have so many things to look forward to.

New school, new friends,

not to mention your own room.

You know what happens to girls my age.

You warn us all the time.

This isn't that, I promise.

I checked the couple out thoroughly.

We checked the couple out thoroughly.

If you make me, I won't stay.

I won't, I swear to God.

It's already been done.

Neither you or I can change that.

Mija,

I love you.

I always will.

We'll check in, I promise.

I'm not going anywhere.

- -Promise?

I promise.

Hey, I have something for you.

This was given to me when I was a girl,

and I want you to have it.

"OS"?

Original sin?

Silly girl.

It's always protected me and it will protect you as well.

I'm not going anywhere, I promise you.

I'll check in.

I'll always be here for you, Lita.

Thank you, Annie.

I love you.

Thank you.

I love you too.

- -

- Jose! - He came.

Hello kids!

Hello, hello, hello.

Hello.

Hey, everybody grab something.
