Quotes 

• Kate Coleman : [Kate's cell phone rings as she is waking up after being sedated in the hospital; she answers the phone]  Hello?

  Dr. Varava : Is this Katherine Coleman?

  [pause] 

  Dr. Varava : Hello?

  Kate Coleman : [Gets out of the hospital bed]  Yeah, this is she.

  Dr. Varava : My name is Dr. Varava. I'm calling from the Saarne Institute. I've just seen the picture that you sent to us.

  Kate Coleman : And do you recognize her?

  Dr. Varava : Where is she? Is she someplace where she can hear you?

  Kate Coleman : No, she's not with me. She's with my husband at home...

  Dr. Varava : Call your husband right now and tell him to get your family out of the house, then call the police.

  Kate Coleman : What? Why?

  Dr. Varava : Then tell him that the little girl in the picture is not really a little girl. She is a grown woman!

  Kate Coleman : What? What are you talking about? The picture that I sent you is of our adopted daughter. She's nine years old.

  Dr. Varava : No, she's not. She has a rare hormonal disorder. It's called Hypopituitarism. It causes proportional dwarfism. She only looks like a child. According to our records, Leena Klammer was born in 1976. She's 33 years old!

• Kate Coleman : [about Esther]  Why was she at your hospital?

  Dr. Varava : She's dangerously ill. Violent. She's killed seven people that we know of!

• Kate Coleman : [after being told the truth about Esther]  Oh my God! How could she fool us?

  Dr. Varava : She's been passing herself as a little girl for most of her life.

  [pause] 

  Dr. Varava : She tricked a family here in Estonia into adopting her. When she couldn't seduce the father, she killed him and his entire family...

  Kate Coleman : Then she burned the house down!

  Dr. Varava : Yes! How did you know?

  [pause] 

  Dr. Varava : She disappeared over a year ago and we lost track of her.

  [pause] 

  Dr. Varava : If it is really Leena, you don't have much time!

  [Kate hangs up her cell phone and frantically runs out of the hospital to get to her car] 

• Dr. Varava : Does she have the scars?

  Kate Coleman : What? I don't know, what scars?

  Dr. Varava : Leena was one of our *most* violent patients. When she here she was kept in a straitjacket to stop her from hurting our staff, she was constantly fighting to get out of it. It cut into her skin and left her with scars around her wrists and neck. There is no way you could have not seen them!
