00:00:00James, hey, wake up.
00:00:23Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:30Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:01:00There's somebody in the house, James, James, wake up, James, wake up, James, there's somebody
00:01:12down here, there's somebody in the house, somebody in the house, James, look at me.
00:01:19Good morning, husband.
00:01:31Good morning, husband.
00:01:47Good morning, wife.
00:01:48I didn't know you were up.
00:01:52Why?
00:01:53I didn't think I was the, hey, we're in Vegas, let's get hitched kind of girl.
00:01:57Yeah, well, here we are.
00:02:00Oh, damn right.
00:02:01I got you something.
00:02:08You did?
00:02:11It's just a little post-wedding gift, a little small token of my love.
00:02:17Babe, I didn't get you anything.
00:02:21You gave me everything.
00:02:22Go ahead, open it.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:39Wow.
00:02:39You said you had a watch like it in your 20s that you lost, so.
00:02:46Yeah, I just, I can't believe that you remembered that story.
00:02:56You're welcome.
00:02:57Wow.
00:03:03Uh, so, is Mara cool with this, with us, you know, getting married now?
00:03:11I, I think so.
00:03:13I mean, we're going to have to do something more formal with her sometime soon, but.
00:03:17Absolutely.
00:03:18You know, and my mom is going to move in a minute, so, you know, we can all celebrate our love together.
00:03:23I don't like the sound of that.
00:03:26Hmm.
00:03:28What time's our flight?
00:03:29Uh, it's at noon, so I'll go pick her up and, look, I really, I can't thank you guys enough
00:03:34for letting her stay with us.
00:03:36It means a lot.
00:03:37I just moved in.
00:03:39Now, you've got two of us to deal with.
00:03:41We're family.
00:03:44I mean, I guess it was a little bit weird, but you and I tied the knot.
00:03:47I haven't even met your mom, but.
00:03:49Yeah.
00:03:51Yeah, and she's just, uh, Maggie's been too sick to travel lately.
00:03:55I'm telling you, Kristen.
00:03:56And diabetes can be a real bitch.
00:04:01And I should warn you, you can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:06No, I'm sure I can handle her.
00:04:07I mean, I know I can handle you.
00:04:12Your form is so good.
00:04:27Look, I don't, I don't mean to ruin your workout.
00:04:34I just want to check in on you.
00:04:35Oh, no, it's no worries.
00:04:36It was just about Dylan.
00:04:39Here, I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:41Where is he?
00:04:42Oh, he's picking his mother up at the airport, remember?
00:04:43Oh, yeah.
00:04:44That's today.
00:04:46You two have been a couple for, like, what, six months now?
00:04:49I cannot believe you haven't even met his mom.
00:04:53Wow.
00:04:55I think that this way, isn't it awesome we get to meet her together?
00:04:58Yeah, sure.
00:04:59Why not?
00:05:01Honey, look, I know I've asked you this a bunch of times, but you're...
00:05:05You're not upset, right?
00:05:07I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:09No.
00:05:10No, no, I just...
00:05:12I think that maybe it feels a little...
00:05:16Soon.
00:05:18I usually reserve that term for bad jokes about tragedy, but...
00:05:23Yeah, maybe a little.
00:05:26But you like him, though, right?
00:05:28James?
00:05:29Oh, yeah.
00:05:30I really do.
00:05:32I see the way that he treats you.
00:05:33It's very sweet, and...
00:05:36I think that you deserve it, but...
00:05:40Like you said, it just...
00:05:41It happened so fast, and I...
00:05:44Feel like you're still pretty vulnerable after everything that happened last year.
00:05:49Maybe.
00:05:52Honey, I'm an adult.
00:05:54And I know what's right for me.
00:05:56I'm so much better than a year ago.
00:06:01You know?
00:06:03You and...
00:06:04And James...
00:06:06Are a big part of why.
00:06:07Heck, you know, between my loving daughter and my new husband and my shrink, I'm pretty
00:06:14much as good as new.
00:06:15I know how terrible it all was, but...
00:06:18Honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:26I have no idea.
00:06:27But if there's one, that's one too many.
00:06:30Mom, I would like for you to meet my gorgeous and generous wife, Kristen, and her awesome
00:06:55and equally generous daughter, Mara.
00:06:57This is my mom, Maggie.
00:07:00It's so nice to finally meet you, Maggie.
00:07:03Welcome to our home.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:06Our casa is your casa.
00:07:09Mmm.
00:07:10Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:15Mom, come on.
00:07:17Be nice.
00:07:17Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23Uh, you're...
00:07:24You're welcome.
00:07:25We're happy to have you.
00:07:26Yeah.
00:07:27We are happy to have you, Mom.
00:07:29Let's sit down.
00:07:29Hmm.
00:07:30Isn't that nice?
00:07:36I'll try not to be too much trouble.
00:07:39Oh, I'm sure there'll be no trouble at all.
00:07:43Say, cheese.
00:07:44What...
00:07:45What are you doing?
00:07:45I'm just taking your picture.
00:07:48Why?
00:07:49Posterity.
00:07:50I hate having my photo taken.
00:07:53Put that thing away now.
00:07:54It's okay.
00:07:55It's okay, Mommy.
00:07:56It's okay.
00:07:57Uh, why don't I go get some refreshments?
00:07:59Hey, Mara, would you help me?
00:08:00Oh, yeah, sure.
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:01Great.
00:08:02Let's leave these two to get a little better acquainted.
00:08:04Mm, great.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:06All right.
00:08:10So, it's...
00:08:11It's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:13Well, you got a good-sized house here, Kristen.
00:08:20Oh, thanks.
00:08:22A bit tacky for my taste, but that's neither here nor there.
00:08:27Good for you, living high on that hog.
00:08:29You get the money from your first husband or something?
00:08:32Um...
00:08:34Uh, no, actually, um, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:42Yeah, for the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:45Oh, is that right?
00:08:47What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:51Well, I'm a divorce attorney.
00:08:53Ah, got it.
00:08:56So, while all those miserable, desperate people are suffering right there in front of you,
00:09:02you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:06I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:08Oh, no.
00:09:10Of course not.
00:09:11I'm just kidding.
00:09:11So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:17Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was the one who suggested that we do it on the spot.
00:09:24Was the wedding nice, or what?
00:09:28Because this mother of the groom never saw a damn photo.
00:09:33There you go.
00:09:34Now we're family.
00:09:37All of us.
00:09:40Isn't that wonderful?
00:09:42Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:09:44See?
00:09:45Look at you two.
00:09:46I knew it.
00:09:47A couple peas in a pod.
00:09:53Mom, is everything okay?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55Yeah, I'm, uh, great.
00:09:57This is gonna be so much fun.
00:09:59Mm.
00:10:04Uh, you wanted to see me?
00:10:08What's up?
00:10:09I'm here.
00:10:10Yeah?
00:10:10Look, I just...
00:10:12What's going on?
00:10:16Kristen, just say it.
00:10:18Did your mother say anything to you about me?
00:10:22Just that she was thankful that you opened up your home to her?
00:10:27Really?
00:10:28She said that?
00:10:28Kristen, I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much,
00:10:32and I have no idea what I did wrong.
00:10:33Okay, I don't...
00:10:35What happened?
00:10:35I mean, was it something in her tone, maybe?
00:10:37More like something in her words.
00:10:40Ah, Chris, I don't know.
00:10:41She's just from a different era?
00:10:43And yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:47Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart,
00:10:49and it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you.
00:10:55And see what you're made of.
00:10:57Great.
00:10:57I got an F on the first day.
00:10:59Look at me.
00:11:01Relax, okay?
00:11:02I love you and Mara.
00:11:06And yeah, this happened really fast.
00:11:09But we have the rest of our lives to take it easy.
00:11:12All of us.
00:11:13So let's just, you know, let Maggie get used to her new surroundings.
00:11:17And I promise, this is all going to work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:27What are you doing here?
00:11:41Well, maybe I just want to see that pretty face of yours.
00:11:44What do you want, Ross?
00:11:45Your request for child support is killing me, baby.
00:11:51Excuse me, baby?
00:11:53You know I don't have that much money.
00:11:55Shrinks make way more money than private investigators.
00:11:58Well, it's not my fault.
00:11:59You know I hate the word shrink.
00:12:01You know, I don't even know why we're getting divorced.
00:12:02Because you slept with your secretary, remember?
00:12:06Right.
00:12:08Hi.
00:12:10Good morning.
00:12:11Sorry, did I make a mistake?
00:12:12Is this not my hour?
00:12:13No, no.
00:12:14I'm sorry.
00:12:14Kristen, of course it is.
00:12:16I'll call you later.
00:12:17I know you will.
00:12:21Please, come in.
00:12:23Thanks.
00:12:27Apologies again, Kristen.
00:12:29That's my soon-to-be ex, and he...
00:12:31Oh, never mind.
00:12:33I'm sure you hear about this divorce stuff all day long,
00:12:35and that is not at all the reason you're here.
00:12:39How are you doing?
00:12:41I'm, uh...
00:12:42I'm okay.
00:12:44You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:46Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:52James's mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so...
00:12:55You have someone new living in your house.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59She, um...
00:12:59She has diabetes, and she just used a walker to get around.
00:13:03That poor woman, that's awful.
00:13:05What's she like?
00:13:07She doesn't like me, I can tell you that much.
00:13:09How do you know?
00:13:10I don't know, just...
00:13:11The way that she looks at me, you know,
00:13:13I'm just cold, dismissive.
00:13:17The first time we met, she said something to me about my
00:13:20quickie wedding with her boy.
00:13:22Oh, sounds to me like she's just a little hurt that she didn't
00:13:25get to see you two get married.
00:13:26Hmm, sounded more to me like she was upset, she didn't get to
00:13:28stop it.
00:13:30Well, mothers-in-laws, the new brides, butting heads,
00:13:34that's not exactly an uncommon thing.
00:13:36But, um...
00:13:37How's your mind doing otherwise?
00:13:41I'm, uh...
00:13:42I'm good.
00:13:44You know, I mean, I...
00:13:45I've been having nightmares the past few months.
00:13:48Mm-hmm.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business without
00:13:53looking in every direction for some guy creeping up behind me,
00:13:56and...
00:13:57I don't know, I can just...
00:13:59breathe, I guess.
00:14:02You know, it's...
00:14:03little things.
00:14:05Not so little newsflash.
00:14:08I mean, your stalker actually made it into your house.
00:14:12That's terrifying.
00:14:16I know.
00:14:17I know.
00:14:18I just, um...
00:14:19I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:25Lots of people out there would have experienced some kind of
00:14:27breakdown from that.
00:14:30If you ask me, you're doing great.
00:14:34Thanks, Dr. Lewis.
00:14:36Thanks to you, you know.
00:14:40And, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:50I actually got up into an outfit.
00:14:52Okay.
00:14:53All right.
00:14:54Gotta be careful.
00:14:55I think I'll be watching.
00:14:56You never want.
00:14:58Hey, girly.
00:14:59Hey.
00:15:00What's up, kid?
00:15:01I'm just waiting for Michael to come pick me up.
00:15:03We're gonna go grab a bite to eat.
00:15:04Oh?
00:15:04And who is this Michael person?
00:15:07He's my boo.
00:15:08Your boo?
00:15:09Is he a damn ghost or something?
00:15:12Mom, she's talking about her boyfriend.
00:15:15And I happen to like the kid.
00:15:18That must be him.
00:15:21Michael, you can come in.
00:15:22We're in the living room.
00:15:26There he is.
00:15:27Hey, what's up, James?
00:15:29Well, my spirits.
00:15:30Now I got my lovely mother here in one piece.
00:15:32Or two.
00:15:34How's it hanging, kid?
00:15:36I'm Maggie.
00:15:37Michael, and it's hanging just fine, I guess.
00:15:41Your mama actually allows you to have boys over when she's not home?
00:15:46I'm 19.
00:15:47Exactly my point.
00:15:48Like little rabbits at your age.
00:15:50Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Where is Kristen anyway?
00:15:55Uh, she is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:16:01You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off.
00:16:06Uh.
00:16:08Therapy.
00:16:09It's like a weak sauce on a feeble sandwich.
00:16:13It's a little harsh.
00:16:15I don't think it's weird for her to get help after everything she's been through.
00:16:18Oh?
00:16:19And what happened?
00:16:23Do you know what?
00:16:24I'm starving.
00:16:25Should we go?
00:16:26Let's do this.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:27Hey, Michael.
00:16:28Come here.
00:16:29I've got something to tell you.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:36Yeah, what's up?
00:16:38I gotta lean in if I'm gonna tell you.
00:16:41Boo!
00:16:42You're a strange one, Maggie.
00:16:48Yeah, always have been.
00:16:50Always will be.
00:16:51Hey, come on, Michael.
00:16:52Let's go.
00:16:54You two have fun.
00:16:59Bring me back some cheesecake.
00:17:05So, Maggie.
00:17:07She's a real kick in the ass, huh?
00:17:09Yeah, she is.
00:17:10She's gonna need to stop kicking at my mom, or we're gonna have a problem.
00:17:15How's your mom been holding up with the new house guests anyways?
00:17:18She's struggling.
00:17:20And I can tell, too.
00:17:21And she was doing so well after everything that happened.
00:17:23The last thing she needs is this lady picking at her, making her crazy.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28Well, what's that face?
00:17:56Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.
00:17:59Oh, my God. Are you serious?
00:18:01Steve, do me a favor. You call building management.
00:18:04They really need to get out of their game enough security around here.
00:18:06I mean, that is unacceptable.
00:18:07Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:18:10I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:14You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:18Well, yeah.
00:18:21Well, how close did the guy get to you? Was he like a car limp?
00:18:25No, no, not that close.
00:18:27I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:30But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:35Yeah, you're making valid points.
00:18:41Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:55This is Kristen.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:06Hello?
00:19:07This is Kristen.
00:19:28Hello?
00:19:31Who is this?
00:19:32Stop calling me.
00:19:44Wow.
00:19:45Well, hello to you, too.
00:19:47Hi, James.
00:19:49Is everything okay?
00:19:51Yeah, yeah.
00:19:52I kept getting this unknown number,
00:19:55and then when I answered, no one was there.
00:19:56You know what?
00:19:59Never mind.
00:20:00Everything's fine.
00:20:02Good.
00:20:03Well, Mara is out to dinner with Michael.
00:20:06I am done returning my client calls for the day,
00:20:08and it's just Mom and I here.
00:20:10We were wondering when you'd be coming home.
00:20:12I think she misses you already.
00:20:15Um, soon.
00:20:17Good.
00:20:18See you soon.
00:20:18Bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:22Bye.
00:20:24Bye.
00:20:24Bye.
00:20:25Bye.
00:20:26Bye.
00:20:26You can't be serious.
00:20:39It's not going to be for long, okay?
00:20:41Just a few months, max.
00:20:43A few months?
00:20:44Mara, I'm talking to two realtors
00:20:46who are looking for apartments for us
00:20:47right now in L.A.
00:20:49Well, Michael, I don't know what you want me to say, okay?
00:20:51I can't just leave her alone right now.
00:20:54She's a grown woman who can...
00:20:55Got the daylight scared out of her by some maniac at her spin class?
00:21:00Yeah, like a year ago.
00:21:05I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea.
00:21:09Okay?
00:21:11Okay.
00:21:11She was getting constant phone calls every single day.
00:21:14This psychopath was leaving these very disturbing messages
00:21:17talking about how they were soulmates
00:21:19and how they were meant to be together
00:21:20and she should just give in to fate.
00:21:23Oh.
00:21:23Calling her all the time.
00:21:25Following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:27He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was going to be.
00:21:31I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:33Jesus, you never talked about it much.
00:21:37I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:39Frightening?
00:21:42The dude broke into our house
00:21:44and that's the night that she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:50Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most,
00:21:55I was at some stupid house party playing beer pong.
00:21:58You know, if I would have been there,
00:22:00who knows?
00:22:02Maybe I could have helped her keep it together.
00:22:04Mara, you can't blame yourself for that.
00:22:07Can't I?
00:22:08Just a little?
00:22:11I mean,
00:22:12I do feel responsible.
00:22:15That's why I've been sleeping at home again.
00:22:17Yeah.
00:22:20Don't remind me.
00:22:22Look,
00:22:23it's just going to be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:27So,
00:22:28whatever happened to that spin class stalker anyways?
00:22:31The police came,
00:22:32they carted him away,
00:22:33but,
00:22:34you know,
00:22:34unfortunately by then,
00:22:35some real damage had already been committed.
00:22:38And,
00:22:38was she,
00:22:40like,
00:22:41committed?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:44Briefly.
00:22:44Just a couple of days,
00:22:46but,
00:22:47since then,
00:22:48she's just been getting by
00:22:49with support from friends and family.
00:22:52Well,
00:22:52it's a good thing she has a daughter like you then.
00:22:55James was a really big help too.
00:22:58Huh.
00:22:58Yeah,
00:22:58I like James.
00:23:00Me too.
00:23:01I don't know,
00:23:02there's always something
00:23:02different about him.
00:23:05You know,
00:23:05I couldn't quite put my finger on it,
00:23:06but,
00:23:07at least he's been a positive force
00:23:09in my mom's life.
00:23:09Hey,
00:23:16Maggie.
00:23:19Kristen.
00:23:19Kristen.
00:23:22You demolish any
00:23:23marriages today?
00:23:27No.
00:23:27Three or four.
00:23:28Unusual amount.
00:23:31What are you doing?
00:23:31Solving the conflicts
00:23:34in the Middle East
00:23:35is a lot harder
00:23:36than I thought.
00:23:38What does it look like
00:23:38I'm doing?
00:23:41Playing solitaire.
00:23:43I,
00:23:43I,
00:23:45I guess I just met
00:23:46and how's it going?
00:23:49What did you say
00:23:50the name of this game
00:23:51was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:53And how many people
00:23:56usually play it
00:23:57at one time?
00:23:59Just,
00:23:59just one.
00:24:01Huh.
00:24:01James said
00:24:02you were smart.
00:24:04Hmm.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08I'm not really sure.
00:24:09Uh,
00:24:10he's
00:24:10doing some errands
00:24:12or something.
00:24:17What's wrong?
00:24:18You're looking
00:24:19a little frantic.
00:24:21No,
00:24:21I'm fine.
00:24:22It's just,
00:24:22what's the matter?
00:24:32You're not going
00:24:32to answer it?
00:24:37Hello?
00:24:43Hello?
00:24:48Hello?
00:24:51No one there?
00:24:52No,
00:24:53there's not.
00:24:59No,
00:24:59no,
00:25:00you don't.
00:25:01No.
00:25:02Where are you
00:25:02rushing off to?
00:25:06I saw you!
00:25:08Hey mom,
00:25:17what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even
00:25:19touched your food.
00:25:21Oh,
00:25:21yeah,
00:25:22don't mind me.
00:25:22I'm just a little
00:25:24stressed out
00:25:24for some reason
00:25:25tonight and
00:25:25there's nothing
00:25:26wrong with that.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28No,
00:25:29of course not.
00:25:30Are you,
00:25:31are you getting
00:25:32any more of those,
00:25:33those calls
00:25:34that we were
00:25:34talking about today?
00:25:35Are you?
00:25:40You know I did.
00:25:42What calls are they
00:25:43talking about?
00:25:45I get unknown callers
00:25:46all the time.
00:25:47I mean,
00:25:47it could be anybody.
00:25:49For all we know,
00:25:49it could be just a
00:25:50super dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:53Yeah,
00:25:53I mean,
00:25:54it could be.
00:25:55Except,
00:25:55you know,
00:25:56a major part of
00:25:56telemarketing is actually
00:25:57talking to the person
00:25:58you're trying to reach.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:01I'm sure it's nothing.
00:26:02Well,
00:26:03if it's nothing,
00:26:04why did your lovely
00:26:05new bride race out
00:26:06into the backyard
00:26:07afterwards like
00:26:07her pants were
00:26:09on flipping fire?
00:26:10Mom,
00:26:11you did?
00:26:13You did that,
00:26:15babe?
00:26:15Why?
00:26:17I,
00:26:17I thought I
00:26:18saw somebody out there.
00:26:21And?
00:26:23And I,
00:26:24I was wrong.
00:26:26It's okay.
00:26:27It's really okay,
00:26:28Mom.
00:26:29Does all this
00:26:30have something
00:26:31to do with
00:26:31your breakdown
00:26:32last year?
00:26:36My James
00:26:37told me that
00:26:38you came close
00:26:39to losing
00:26:39your marbles.
00:26:41I,
00:26:42I did not,
00:26:43I did not say that.
00:26:44Mom,
00:26:45would you please be
00:26:46interested in my
00:26:47daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:48I thought that's
00:26:49the reason why I came,
00:26:50was for all of us
00:26:51to get to know
00:26:52each other.
00:26:53Well,
00:26:54you could be
00:26:54a little nicer.
00:26:55And I could be
00:26:56from Kalamazoo,
00:26:57but I'm not.
00:26:58I am who I am.
00:27:01One of the great
00:27:02benefits of getting
00:27:03to know each other,
00:27:04and believe me,
00:27:04there aren't many,
00:27:05is being able
00:27:07to say that
00:27:08and know for sure
00:27:09that it's 100%
00:27:10true.
00:27:10look,
00:27:14I'm sorry.
00:27:17I didn't come here
00:27:19to be anyone's thorn.
00:27:21So if you want me
00:27:22to leave,
00:27:23I will.
00:27:28No,
00:27:29no,
00:27:29Maggie,
00:27:30I,
00:27:30I,
00:27:31I wouldn't have that.

00:27:34we're family now,
00:27:36right?

00:27:50to get some
00:27:51fresh air.

00:27:52to go?
00:27:52You guys,
00:27:53just relax.
00:27:56I don't really
00:27:57blame her.

00:28:01night out there.
00:28:18Hey,
00:28:19hey.
00:28:20Oof.

00:28:22She's,
00:28:23she's sick.
00:28:25Mara,
00:28:25we should be
00:28:26pitting her,
00:28:26not judging her.
00:28:28Well,
00:28:29we're not the one
00:28:30looking down
00:28:30our noses.
00:28:33Look,
00:28:33Mom,
00:28:33I know that
00:28:34I keep asking
00:28:34you this,
00:28:35but are you
00:28:36okay?
00:28:38Yeah,
00:28:38don't worry
00:28:38about me.
00:28:40That's not
00:28:41an answer.
00:28:43Okay,
00:28:43well,
00:28:43you know,
00:28:43for you it is.
00:28:46Look,
00:28:46I know I'm
00:28:46the reason
00:28:47that you put
00:28:47off your move
00:28:48with Michael.
00:28:49Mom.
00:28:49No,
00:28:50Mara,
00:28:50I don't want
00:28:50you putting
00:28:51your life
00:28:51on hold for me.
00:28:52Well,
00:28:53you know,
00:28:54I don't want
00:28:54you back
00:28:55in that place.
00:29:00What do you say
00:29:01we go inside
00:29:02and show me some
00:29:02yellow moves?
00:29:03You want me to
00:29:04still feel safe
00:29:06chill out?
00:29:07No.
00:29:09But I can show
00:29:09you how to do that.
00:29:10Good.
00:29:11Show me some cool
00:29:12words, too.
00:29:13Oh, hey.
00:29:27Listen,
00:29:28I wanted to thank you
00:29:29for making
00:29:30the John
00:29:30handicap friendly.
00:29:33Maybe you could,
00:29:34uh,
00:29:35take a hint?
00:29:36Come again?
00:29:37Look,
00:29:38you could show
00:29:39a little bit more
00:29:40kindness around
00:29:41here.
00:29:42Okay?
00:29:44And as far as
00:29:45the bathroom
00:29:46upgrade goes,
00:29:47you can thank
00:29:48your son for that.
00:29:50Yeah,
00:29:50but I'm talking
00:29:51to you.
00:29:52And it seems like
00:29:53you have something
00:29:54to say.
00:29:56Is it about
00:29:56your mother?
00:30:00Maggie,
00:30:00my mom
00:30:01has done nothing
00:30:02but show kindness
00:30:03to you,
00:30:03including giving you
00:30:04a room,
00:30:05a board.
00:30:07And,
00:30:07you know,
00:30:09I see her trying
00:30:09to make it work.
00:30:11She's not tough
00:30:12like you,
00:30:13and you see that,
00:30:14so I'm just,
00:30:16honestly,
00:30:17I'm really not sure
00:30:17why you have to
00:30:18make it so hard
00:30:18on her.
00:30:20Well,
00:30:20you call it hard.
00:30:22I call it helpful.
00:30:25The worst thing
00:30:26you can do
00:30:27is indulge
00:30:27someone's fantasies
00:30:29when they're
00:30:30not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:34You think
00:30:35she's enjoying this?
00:30:37Oh,
00:30:37there you go,
00:30:38using the dirty
00:30:39definition.
00:30:40But when you
00:30:41actually break
00:30:42the word down,
00:30:43what it really means
00:30:44is that someone
00:30:46has seen something
00:30:46that's not there
00:30:47due to a
00:30:48psychological need.
00:30:50So what are you
00:30:50saying?
00:30:51Well,
00:30:51I'm saying
00:30:52that's a good thing
00:30:53she's seeing
00:30:53a head doctor.
00:30:55Just saying.
00:30:58Look,
00:30:59I'm sorry,
00:31:01okay?
00:31:02I know
00:31:03how I can
00:31:04come off
00:31:04sometimes.
00:31:06But
00:31:07maybe if you
00:31:08just
00:31:09try to see
00:31:10the situation
00:31:11through my eyes,
00:31:12the way you're
00:31:13being protective
00:31:14of your mother,
00:31:16is
00:31:16kind of how
00:31:18I feel
00:31:18about my son.
00:31:19and I
00:31:21might not be
00:31:22around
00:31:22very much
00:31:23longer.
00:31:25In fact,
00:31:25it could be
00:31:26sooner than
00:31:26later.
00:31:28So I
00:31:29I guess
00:31:31I'm
00:31:31I'm just
00:31:33trying to make
00:31:34sure that
00:31:34she can do
00:31:35what needs
00:31:37to be done
00:31:37before I'm
00:31:38gone.
00:31:39I get it.
00:31:40I do.
00:31:41It's just
00:31:41it's a lot.
00:31:43Yeah,
00:31:44so is
00:31:45a mother's
00:31:45love.
00:31:54Well,
00:31:55it's time
00:31:56for me
00:31:56to get
00:31:57to bed.
00:31:58You have
00:31:59a nice
00:31:59night now.
00:32:01Okay?

00:32:02Night.
00:32:32It's me.
00:32:54It's me.
00:32:55You should
00:32:56have a bad
00:32:56dream.
00:32:59Okay.
00:33:00A bad
00:33:00dream.

00:33:42You look
00:33:43exhausted.
00:33:44Thanks,
00:33:45Steve.
00:33:45That was the
00:33:45look I was
00:33:46going for.
00:33:48Did, uh,
00:33:48Rebecca Palmer
00:33:49confirm for
00:33:50this morning?
00:33:51Oh, she
00:33:52should be here
00:33:52in a few minutes.
00:33:53Great.
00:33:54Just enough time
00:33:54to get caffeinated.
00:33:55Let me know
00:33:56when she arrives,
00:33:56Lee.
00:33:57Sure thing.
00:33:58Oh, hey.
00:33:59I just spoke
00:33:59with the
00:34:00building manager.
00:34:01Oh, what'd he say?
00:34:02Basically, he
00:34:03said he follows
00:34:03all the protocols
00:34:04in the book,
00:34:05but if you'd still
00:34:05like to make a
00:34:06formal complaint,
00:34:06you're more than
00:34:07welcome.
00:34:09No, that's okay.
00:34:11I feel like I'm
00:34:12making a mountain
00:34:12out of a molehill,
00:34:13so let's just
00:34:14put it behind us.
00:34:16Sounds good to me.
00:34:16Hey, Steve.
00:34:36Yeah?
00:34:38Did my husband
00:34:39drop by here?
00:34:41Um, not that I
00:34:42know of.
00:34:43Why?
00:34:46Yes?
00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's
00:35:03here.
00:35:05Ah, thanks.
00:35:08You okay?
00:35:10Yeah, yeah.
00:35:11Can you, uh,
00:35:12show her in,
00:35:12please?
00:35:14All right.
00:35:15It's great to see
00:35:16you.
00:35:16How are you today?
00:35:18I, uh, am getting
00:35:19a big fat divorce.
00:35:20How good can I
00:35:21really be?
00:35:22All right.
00:35:23Well, let me see
00:35:23if I can make
00:35:24that a little bit
00:35:24easier for you.
00:35:26Well, uh,
00:35:27let me start with...
00:35:28Sorry, I should
00:35:32have this on silent.
00:35:33Yes, you should.
00:35:36It's been a bit
00:35:37hectic.
00:35:37My mother-in-law's
00:35:38been staying with us.
00:35:41Looks like someone
00:35:42really wants
00:35:43to talk to you.
00:35:44Hmm, apparently.
00:35:50Uh, okay, so, um,
00:35:52were you able to get
00:35:53the property list
00:35:54together?
00:35:55Yes, I did.
00:35:57I-I emailed that
00:35:58to you three days
00:35:59ago.
00:36:00Right, yes,
00:36:01of course you did.
00:36:05And maybe this is a
00:36:06bad time.
00:36:07No, no, no, no,
00:36:08I'm...
00:36:09Oh, my God.
00:36:15What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm sorry, Rebecca.
00:36:18Will you excuse me
00:36:19for a minute, please?
00:36:20And by the time I
00:36:37came back into my
00:36:37office, the client
00:36:38was already gone.
00:36:40Oh, God, what am I
00:36:41saying?
00:36:41She's probably an ex-client
00:36:42by now.
00:36:43I'm sorry that-that
00:36:44happened, Kristen, but,
00:36:46um, this-this second
00:36:47stalker, don't you think
00:36:49that's unlikely, based
00:36:52on the odds of that
00:36:53kind of thing happening
00:36:53to someone twice?
00:36:55Well, lucky me, you
00:36:56know, two-time loser
00:36:56with guys who hide in
00:36:57bushes and terrorize
00:36:58women.
00:36:59Let's not get ahead
00:37:00of ourselves.
00:37:01Now, start from the
00:37:02beginning.
00:37:03Now, you received some
00:37:04calls from an unknown
00:37:05number, and no one was
00:37:07talking back to you.
00:37:07Right, and-and-and
00:37:08there was somebody who's
00:37:10following me in the
00:37:11parking lot at work,
00:37:12and-and then outside
00:37:13of my house.
00:37:15And now you've received
00:37:17a rose, you said, that
00:37:18was left on your
00:37:19office desk this morning?
00:37:21And a text asking me
00:37:22if I'd liked it.
00:37:23Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:27Damn it.
00:37:28What?
00:37:29I forgot.
00:37:30I was just freaked out
00:37:31when I saw the message.
00:37:31I deleted it.
00:37:32That's okay.
00:37:34God, I feel like I'm
00:37:35losing it again.
00:37:36Easy, easy.
00:37:38Now, last time we sat
00:37:39down, you said you were
00:37:40under extra pressure at
00:37:41home from your mother-in-law
00:37:42moving in.
00:37:45Maggie.
00:37:46You take it?
00:37:46Well, that's not going
00:37:47well.
00:37:48I mean, I get that she's
00:37:51sick, you know, and so
00:37:52I'm trying to just roll
00:37:53with it, but she is
00:37:54relentless in her
00:37:55passive, not-so-passive
00:37:59aggression towards me.
00:38:00And the timing on it all,
00:38:02it couldn't be more worse
00:38:03with this new situation.
00:38:04Do you think I'm going
00:38:08crazy again?
00:38:10A, you didn't last time,
00:38:11and I don't like that word.
00:38:13And B, no.
00:38:14But I think you're pushed
00:38:16pretty close to your limit
00:38:17right now.
00:38:18Now, how have you been
00:38:19sleeping?
00:38:21Not great.
00:38:22So you're tired.
00:38:23Your brain is playing
00:38:24little tricks on you,
00:38:25and those phone calls,
00:38:26those could be legitimate
00:38:28wrong numbers.
00:38:28Yeah, and then the text
00:38:31that I can't show you.
00:38:34And the roles.
00:38:35That could be James
00:38:35trying to surprise you,
00:38:36or, you know what,
00:38:38you could have a secret
00:38:38admirer out there somewhere
00:38:39trying to find a way
00:38:40to reach out.
00:38:41But, um, nothing wrong
00:38:43with being extra cautious.
00:38:44These things keep happening.
00:38:46You call me, or
00:38:47call the police.
00:38:49So, Dr. Liss, you,
00:38:51you think I could have
00:38:54a stalker again?
00:38:54Oh, my God.
00:39:24Wow.
00:39:29Look at you out here.
00:39:31What's next?
00:39:32You gonna clean out
00:39:32the gutters?
00:39:33Put a fresh coat of paint
00:39:34on the house?
00:39:35Yeah, I mean, that's me,
00:39:36Mr. Suburbia.
00:39:39Actually, I'm glad
00:39:40that you're here.
00:39:41I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:43I'm concerned about
00:39:45your mother.
00:39:47Yeah, me too.
00:39:49That's actually why
00:39:50I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:51Oh, good.
00:39:52I mean, to me,
00:39:53it seems like she's
00:39:54kind of losing it
00:39:56a little, you know,
00:39:57mentally.
00:39:58Yeah.
00:39:59I see it, too.
00:40:01Is this how she acted
00:40:02the last time
00:40:03with her breakdown?
00:40:06Yeah, I guess.
00:40:09To be honest,
00:40:10I wasn't paying
00:40:11as close attention to her
00:40:12as I should have
00:40:13at the time, you know,
00:40:14because I wasn't expecting it,
00:40:15but I am now.
00:40:17What about this stalker?
00:40:19I mean, do you believe
00:40:21that she's actually
00:40:21being stalked by some guy?
00:40:23I think that she believes it.
00:40:26And, you know,
00:40:27it's putting her
00:40:27in a really bad spot
00:40:28mentally.
00:40:31You have to talk
00:40:32to Maggie, James.
00:40:32She's making it worse.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35My mom,
00:40:36she really knows how to
00:40:37push people's buttons.
00:40:40She is who she is.
00:40:41So she declares.
00:40:44Look,
00:40:45if you can't control Maggie,
00:40:47I'm gonna have to convince
00:40:48my mom to kick yours
00:40:49out of the house.
00:40:50I know.
00:40:51I know it sounds harsh,
00:40:53but...
00:40:53I get it.
00:40:57Your mom's mental health
00:40:58is more important.
00:41:00Yeah, good.
00:41:02Great.
00:41:03I'm glad we're on
00:41:04the same page with that.
00:41:06100%.
00:41:06Come here.
00:41:08Come here.
00:41:09We love you, James.
00:41:10I don't know
00:41:11if I ever
00:41:12really thanked you
00:41:13for making my mom
00:41:13so happy.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Well, uh,
00:41:19I'll let you get back to it.
00:41:23Oh,
00:41:24you missed a spot.
00:41:28Good night.
00:41:35Do we have a problem?
00:41:36Do we have a problem?
00:41:40It's time we go for a ride.
00:41:46I had a feeling.
00:41:47So you and the girls
00:42:02seem chummier than ever.
00:42:04And when I see you
00:42:05with the mother,
00:42:06I swear I can feel the love.
00:42:09So what's wrong with that?
00:42:10Look,
00:42:11we gotta stay focused.
00:42:13That's what I'm telling you.
00:42:18This place is empty.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21He's supposed to be
00:42:22meeting us here.
00:42:23Hey.
00:42:25Back here.
00:42:25So I had to start drinking.
00:42:31You know,
00:42:31trailing soccer moms all day.
00:42:33It's thirsty business.
00:42:35We didn't come here
00:42:36to drink with you,
00:42:37Maps.
00:42:38What are you still doing
00:42:41with that stupid walker?
00:42:42Because you idiot.
00:42:47I can't risk anyone
00:42:49seeing me standing
00:42:50on my pins now,
00:42:51can I?
00:42:55Yeah, yeah.
00:42:56You told me that before.
00:42:57I still don't understand
00:42:58why you used that stupid thing.
00:43:00Because it makes me
00:43:01a sympathetic character.
00:43:03Even when I'm acting
00:43:04like a raging bitch.
00:43:06Well,
00:43:06why don't you just
00:43:07kill her with kindness?
00:43:08Because we're supposed
00:43:10to be gaslighting her.
00:43:10It's a delicate act
00:43:13of balance.
00:43:15See,
00:43:15how it works is
00:43:17somebody,
00:43:19me,
00:43:20puts a target
00:43:21on their heels
00:43:21as much as possible.
00:43:23While someone else,
00:43:25him,
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:27I hold their hand,
00:43:30look them in the eye,
00:43:31and I say,
00:43:32everything's gonna be
00:43:34all right, baby.
00:43:36Ooh.
00:43:37Get some spinning
00:43:39real good.
00:43:40Well, and then
00:43:41someone else
00:43:42comes along,
00:43:43me,
00:43:44and
00:43:44pushes them
00:43:47over the edge.
00:43:47Looks like someone's
00:43:49really enjoying themselves.
00:43:50That's funny,
00:43:51because I was about
00:43:52to say the same thing
00:43:53about you.
00:43:54Ah, guilty as charged.
00:43:57Okay, okay.
00:43:58So I get it.
00:43:59Good con,
00:44:00bad con.
00:44:01I get that whole thing.
00:44:03Why this lady?
00:44:04I came across
00:44:05this blog she wrote
00:44:07about her nervous
00:44:08breakdown last year.
00:44:11Some love-struck fool
00:44:13breaks into her house
00:44:14and drives her crazy.
00:44:16So,
00:44:17I hired this guy
00:44:19to help me
00:44:20double down on it.
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:22Once we have it committed,
00:44:24I'll be in complete
00:44:25control of her finances.
00:44:28Won't take long,
00:44:28we'll have it transferred
00:44:29to an offshore account
00:44:30in the Caribbean.
00:44:31And what about
00:44:33the lady's daughter?
00:44:35Yeah,
00:44:35that's why we're here.
00:44:38The little brat
00:44:39is getting real protective.
00:44:41She'll get rid of us soon
00:44:42if we don't get this done.
00:44:45And chances are
00:44:47she'll be successful.
00:44:49So,
00:44:50we gotta do this thing
00:44:52tonight.
00:44:54Right, son?
00:44:56Right, Mom.
00:45:01Mom,
00:45:06yoga's supposed
00:45:07to relax you,
00:45:08not stress you out more.
00:45:13Honey,
00:45:13you and Michael
00:45:14are supposed to be
00:45:14leaving for LA next week.
00:45:16The move has been
00:45:17pushed back a few months,
00:45:18that's all.
00:45:18No,
00:45:18you mean your life
00:45:19is being delayed
00:45:20because of me.
00:45:21No,
00:45:22because,
00:45:22you know,
00:45:23there's been a whole lot
00:45:23of changes around here lately.
00:45:24Oh, sweetheart,
00:45:25I'm gonna be fine.
00:45:26I mean,
00:45:27I know Maggie can be tough,
00:45:28but I've got James
00:45:29to help me handle her.
00:45:31You know,
00:45:31he really does love me.
00:45:33I know.
00:45:34He would never
00:45:35do anything to hurt me.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:38Come on,
00:45:39let's take a break.
00:45:40I'm dying.
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:43Your job's done here, Max.
00:45:45It's time for you
00:45:46to get out of Dodge.
00:45:56Looks a little light.
00:45:57I told you the deal
00:45:58when I hired you.
00:46:00You get the rest
00:46:01when we all get ours.
00:46:13Fine.
00:46:14Then I want to be there tonight
00:46:15when it all goes down
00:46:17because otherwise
00:46:17this whole thing
00:46:18has felt like a tease.
00:46:19Nah.
00:46:20That's a bad idea.
00:46:22See,
00:46:23first,
00:46:23you don't know
00:46:24how to lay out of the house.
00:46:25And second,
00:46:26you are a little too
00:46:27stimulated
00:46:28by this whole thing.
00:46:29And I haven't been
00:46:30pushing that
00:46:31flippin' walker
00:46:32for my health either.
00:46:34I need
00:46:36to push
00:46:36this snowflake
00:46:37over the edge
00:46:39tonight.
00:46:40And she cannot know
00:46:42that I am
00:46:43physically capable
00:46:44of it.
00:46:46So,
00:46:47you can't be
00:46:48anywhere near the house.
00:46:49In fact,
00:46:51I don't even want you
00:46:53in the same state.
00:46:56Okay.
00:46:59And I'm gonna need
00:46:59some more money
00:47:00up front.
00:47:02Not this when and if.
00:47:04The thing
00:47:04I'm talking about
00:47:06right now.
00:47:07You gotta be
00:47:11flippin'
00:47:11kidding me.
00:47:13It's like my drunk
00:47:14daddy used to say.
00:47:15A little leverage
00:47:16is better than
00:47:17any beverage.
00:47:23Huh?
00:47:24What do you say?
00:47:25Should we go to
00:47:26an ATM?
00:47:27Or what?
00:47:27Because you don't
00:47:28want to go back
00:47:29to prison.
00:47:29I know that.
00:47:30And you do not
00:47:31want me telling people
00:47:33what I know.
00:47:37Okay, Max.
00:47:40You win.
00:47:43Finish your drink.
00:47:45And we'll go get
00:47:46you your money.
00:47:51Dynamite.
00:47:56Dynamite.
00:48:00So,
00:48:01you two.
00:48:02You two ain't
00:48:03angry at me, right?
00:48:04Of course not, Max.
00:48:05Good, because you
00:48:07do the same
00:48:07you and me, right?
00:48:09Of course I would.
00:48:10Good.
00:48:11Because we're all
00:48:11just terrible people,
00:48:12right?
00:48:13Well, we have to be.
00:48:14We have to be.
00:48:15We have to be.
00:48:15We have to be.
00:48:16We have to be.
00:48:17We have to be.
00:48:17We have to be.
00:48:17We have to be.
00:48:18We have to be.
00:48:18We have to be.
00:48:19We have to be.
00:48:19We have to be.
00:48:20We have to be.
00:48:20We have to be.

00:49:47Okay, Mom.
00:49:50Good night.
00:49:51Sleep tight.
00:49:52Hey, honey.
00:49:56Thank you for everything.
00:49:58I mean it.
00:50:01Thank you, Maggie.
00:50:02That means a lot to me.
00:50:03I'm going to bed.
00:50:17I'm exhausted.
00:50:18Ah, me too.

00:52:24I don't know.
00:52:54I don't know.
00:52:58Yeah, I'm going to make more of an effort with her.
00:53:01That's incredible, considering that she hasn't even met you halfway.
00:53:05I swear I'm going to make her love me, even if it kills me.
00:53:09Good night, baby.
00:53:20Sweet dreams.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:37Yeah.

00:55:59Oh, my God.
00:56:29Oh, my God. Please. Please answer, please.
00:56:47911, what's your emergency?
00:56:49My name is Kristen Walker. I live at 618 Northfield Avenue. I think somebody broke into my house.
00:56:53Ma'am, are you alone?
00:56:54No, no. My daughter's here. And my husband and my mother-in-law.
00:56:58Get everyone together. I'm sending a car right away.
00:57:01Okay. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:57:08James! James, let me go!
00:57:11James, please. Somebody help me!
00:57:16Somebody help me!
00:57:18Please. Somebody help me!
00:57:20Somebody help me!
00:57:21Somebody help me!
00:57:23Help! Somebody help me!
00:57:26Somebody help me!
00:57:27Help! Help! Help!
00:57:28Help me!
00:57:29Please! Please!
00:57:30Kristen!
00:57:31No! Help me!
00:57:32Kristen!
00:57:33No!
00:57:34There's somebody's house in here!
00:57:35It's me! It's me! It's me!
00:57:36It's me!
00:57:37It's me!
00:57:38It's me!
00:57:39It's me!
00:57:40There's no one in the house!
00:57:41There's no one!
00:57:42It's just me!
00:57:43Look at me!
00:57:44Look at me!
00:57:45Look at me!
00:57:46It's just me!
00:57:47It's okay!
00:57:48It's okay!
00:57:49But it's in the house!
00:57:51Shh!
00:57:52I know!
00:57:53No!
00:58:06Hi, Denise.
00:58:07I was gonna call you.
00:58:09How's Kristen Walker doing?
00:58:11I'm looking at her right now.
00:58:13She's actually very calm.
00:58:15I really like her.
00:58:16Yeah, me too.
00:58:17And thanks for squeezing her in.
00:58:19I'd hate for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital, even for a few days.
00:58:24It was a close call.
00:58:25I know.
00:58:26She needs a lot of help, Denise.
00:58:28I know.
00:58:29Well, she's gonna be evaluated again next week by the state, but I'm feeling pretty confident
00:58:34we should get her home by the end of the month.
00:58:36From your mouth to God's ears.
00:58:38Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks him through these things.
00:58:41I just give him a place to stay.
00:58:43And bless you for that.
00:58:45Oh, um, Cheryl, I gotta go.
00:58:49I'll check with you later.
00:58:51Hi.
00:58:53Damn it!
00:58:55Will you calm down?
00:58:56Calm down?
00:58:57Where did this halfway house for crazies come from?
00:59:00They were supposed to commit her.
00:59:03Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:06Oh, damn it.
00:59:07All right.
00:59:08I say we find a way to take her out while she's there.
00:59:11You're the husband.
00:59:12You should get the money.
00:59:13We are crooks.
00:59:15We're not murderers.
00:59:16And sometimes we do both.
00:59:18Or did I just dream about what happened at that bar, Mr. Stabby?
00:59:22That was necessary.
00:59:23This is not.
00:59:25I'm sorry I have to ask, but this second stalker, you think this is like a real thing?
00:59:32I don't know, but they can't find any evidence of someone breaking in or leaving the house.
00:59:37So all I know is that my mom was doing a lot better before Maggie got here.
00:59:41The timing of all this, it could be coincidental, but do you have any pictures of James and his mother?
00:59:47Actually, yeah, I do.
00:59:50Text her to me, will you?
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:54You know, you got me confused again.
01:00:09One more time, did you come into this woman's life to love her or to rob her?
01:00:16Don't worry about me.
01:00:18I'm a pro, okay?
01:00:20But we do not need to hurt these people.
01:00:23Let's say that I agree with you.
01:00:26There are too many other people in that support house.
01:00:28We don't even know the floor plan.
01:00:30All right, fine.
01:00:32But if I see you siding with them, instead of us, all bets are off.
01:00:38All right, big shot.
01:00:40So what in the hell do we do now?
01:00:42We wait till she comes back here, and we turn up the gas.
01:00:46Damn it!
01:00:48You gotta be kidding me.
01:00:50And what do we do with Mara in the meantime?
01:00:52I don't know.
01:00:54Maybe it's time that we try Max's killing with kindness routine.
01:00:59Fine.
01:01:00As long as she's not on to us.
01:01:02Question is, what are you prepared to do if she is?
01:01:07Yes?
01:01:08It's me.
01:01:09Come in.
01:01:10You see what I did?
01:01:12I called first, so I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
01:01:16I'll keep that in mind.
01:01:17But, um, what if I need you for some of your old tricks?
01:01:22Well, a real dog doesn't forget the old stuff.
01:01:25What do you got?
01:01:26If I text you, um, some pictures, you think you can find out what you can about a couple
01:01:29of people?
01:01:30I mean, I'll owe you one.
01:01:31And considering what you owe me.
01:01:33Well, I don't mind you owing me one.
01:01:35Those are some of my favorite nights, Denise.
01:01:37Don't start.
01:01:38All right.
01:01:39Text me to pics.
01:01:40I'll get right on it.
01:01:41Maybe dangerous or even life threatening.
01:01:55Family history may increase likelihood.
01:02:09may increase likelihood.
01:02:11In some cases, a combination of medications
01:02:13can work better.
01:02:14Anyone with this disease will need
01:02:16lifelong insulin therapy.
01:02:39I don't know.
01:03:09I don't know.
01:03:39I don't know.
01:03:41I don't know.
01:03:43You need something?
01:03:45No.
01:03:46No, sorry.
01:03:47My toilet's clogged,
01:03:49so I just figured I would use the one in here.
01:03:51Do you mind?
01:03:52Mind?
01:03:53It's your house, girly.
01:03:55You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:57Tinkle.
01:03:58That's funny.
01:04:00I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:02You sure you don't want me to come?
01:04:14I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:16It's a cakewalk compared to what she's going through.
01:04:20Thank you for driving me.
01:04:22I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:24Anybody would be.
01:04:26James didn't want to come?
01:04:28I didn't tell him I was coming.
01:04:30I just...
01:04:32I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:34I know that you like James.
01:04:36Hey, Mar, I barely know the guy.
01:04:38And quite honestly,
01:04:40nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:42Yeah.
01:04:44Speaking of mothers.
01:04:46Good luck in there.
01:04:56You must be Mara.
01:04:57Cheryl.
01:04:58Come on in.
01:04:59How's she doing?
01:05:00She's a little out of it because of the medication,
01:05:02but better overall than you're probably thinking.
01:05:04Okay, has she talked about what happened?
01:05:06No, but she hasn't said much of anything since she got here.
01:05:08Something tells me she'll be really happy to see you.
01:05:10Kristen, you have a visitor.
01:05:13Mom.
01:05:14Hi, sweetheart.
01:05:15Hi, Mom.
01:05:16I'll let you two catch up.
01:05:17I'll be in the kitchen if you need me for anything.
01:05:19Thanks, Cheryl.
01:05:20Mm-hmm.
01:05:22Honey, I'm okay.
01:05:24Okay, I'm fine.
01:05:25Really, I just...
01:05:26I had a bad night.
01:05:27I'm so sorry.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29I can't believe I slept through it again.
01:05:31I let you down again.
01:05:32No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:34You didn't.
01:05:35And I am not sorry, okay?
01:05:37I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:39Yeah.
01:05:40Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:42Yeah.
01:05:43Uh...
01:05:44I woke up because I thought I heard something, but then I listened and there was nothing there.
01:05:54So I...
01:05:55I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
01:05:57And so I figured I would just go online and I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:07So I went downstairs and I saw that the door was open.
01:06:12So I...
01:06:13I...
01:06:14I...
01:06:15I called 911.
01:06:16And then I...
01:06:17I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:21So you actually saw someone?
01:06:23I...
01:06:24I think so.
01:06:25I...
01:06:26I mean, it was this shadow.
01:06:28At least, Mara.
01:06:29I swear to you, trust me, there was somebody in there with me.
01:06:32I believe you, but...
01:06:34You know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:38I'm...
01:06:39No.
01:06:40James was asleep.
01:06:41And...
01:06:42Maggie can't even get around.
01:06:43She...
01:06:44She couldn't have done that.
01:06:45So either I...
01:06:46I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:51Or, you know, I'm, um...
01:06:55I'm losing my mind.
01:06:57No.
01:06:58Mom, you're not.
01:06:59Okay.
01:07:00We're gonna figure this out.
01:07:01Together.
01:07:02I promise you, we will figure this out.
01:07:04Mara, I'm sorry.
01:07:05I'm so sorry.
01:07:06I'm so sorry.
01:07:07I'm so sorry.
01:07:08Mom, don't be sorry, please.
01:07:11We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:13Promise.
01:07:14I love you.
01:07:15I love you.
01:07:16I love you.
01:07:26Hey.
01:07:27You okay, Mara?
01:07:28Yeah.
01:07:29It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:32Come on.
01:07:33Let's get out of here.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35Come on.
01:07:36Come on.

01:08:48I mean I was sleeping at first until she started screaming she was screaming so loud
01:08:53I rushed down as fast as I could but she'd already called the police by that point and
01:08:58she was totally hysterical there was nothing I could do and you you just you slept through
01:09:05the whole thing oh well same as you dear I always sleep like a log I don't ever but I
01:09:15guess the insulin helps you sleep because you take it every day right that's right I've just
01:09:22never seen you take it oh well you think I poke myself in the living room between commercial
01:09:29breaks on the TV no I do it in my room alone I went to see her today I know how do you know
01:09:42well because I called the recovery house I spoke to this very nice woman um Cheryl is her name yeah
01:09:50she seemed very kind yeah she is I thought today might be too soon to go see her so I
01:09:55called over there to ask Cheryl when I could spend a couple hours with my wife she suggested
01:10:00that I come by tomorrow morning oh you're such a sweet boy a sweet boy who lets his mother run
01:10:07all over his newlywed wife Mara I did not do that yeah you did that's not very nice and you have the

01:13:35If it's an emergency, call 911.
01:13:38Denise, here's your emergency.
01:13:40You see, my deep dive guy got back to me.
01:13:43Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:13:48They could be dangerous.
01:13:50So call me when you get this.
01:13:53Two questions.
01:13:55What are you doing in our house?
01:13:56And what exactly do you mean by dangerous?
01:14:00I know what you and your son are doing here, lady.
01:14:03Are you sure about that?
01:14:04Maybe you should ask him.
01:14:06So what is this now?
01:14:19This?
01:14:20This is your plan going from bad to worse.
01:14:22I mean, he said we're not who we say we are, dummy.
01:14:26I mean, who's he talking to?
01:14:29Kristen's shrink.
01:14:31Oh, damn it, Hope.
01:14:32Is he?
01:14:36Yeah.
01:14:37I had to.
01:14:38I had no choice.
01:14:39What the hell are we going to do now?
01:14:41I don't know, Maggie.
01:14:43This is your plan.
01:14:44I know that.
01:14:46All right.
01:14:47What we need to do is we'll just...
01:14:48Oh, just shut up.
01:14:50Shut up.
01:14:52Okay, we pack our stuff.
01:14:53And we get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:15:00Okay?
01:15:02Agreed.

01:15:06Get home safe, Phillip.
01:15:34I'll see you next week.
01:15:35It's your thing.
01:15:41Denise, here's your emergency.
01:15:43My deep dive guy got back to me.
01:15:45Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:15:49That could be dangerous.
01:15:50Oh, my God.
01:15:58Denise, hi.
01:15:59You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:01She's good, keeping mostly to herself, but peaceful enough considering the last couple
01:16:05of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me.
01:16:08I got a message from my ex.
01:16:09This patient of mine and her daughter, they're in real trouble with these people.
01:16:15What did he say?
01:16:16Well, I don't know the details, but he's a private investigator.
01:16:20He was looking into the husband and the mother, and he said they're not who they say they are.
01:16:24I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:40I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and
01:17:10Yes, that will be fine.
01:17:15Are they both home?
01:17:16Yeah, I think so.
01:17:18All right, so let's go up there, grab our jewelry box, and get the hell out of here.
01:17:22No, I'll go grab it really quick.
01:17:23You just stay here, and then we'll go together.
01:17:25Okay, well, you should hurry.
01:17:27Oh, really?
01:17:27Because I was going to make a quick sandwich first.
01:17:29This is you hurrying.
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:40Go to sleep, kid.
01:18:01Go to sleep.
01:18:10Go to sleep.
01:18:40Where the hell are you?
01:18:53We've got to hit the road.
01:18:56You can walk.
01:19:01It's a miracle.
01:19:03It was you.
01:19:04You and James the entire time, messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:09First of all, girly, that's not our names.
01:19:13And second, it didn't really take that much effort.
01:19:17Only problem was, we didn't go far enough.
01:19:20But those days are over.
01:19:24What do you mean?
01:19:26Why did you have to come back tonight?
01:19:29Get away from her.
01:19:31It's too late for that.
01:19:33No, it's not.
01:19:35We're going to tie her up, and we're going to get in the car, and you and I will be drinking
01:19:38margaritas on the beach in Mexico before anybody knows about this.
01:19:42Who put you in charge?
01:19:43I have made myself clear from the start, Jackie.
01:19:46I do not want either one of them hurt.
01:19:48And I've made myself clear I'm not going back to prison.
01:19:51Oh, no, look what you did.
01:19:55I'll get her.
01:19:56You idiot.
01:19:57You idiot.
01:20:21Mara?
01:20:26Mara?
01:20:28Come on.
01:20:30I'm trying to help you.
01:20:36Michael.
01:20:38Michael.
01:20:41Michael.
01:20:42Michael.
01:20:43Michael.
01:20:44Michael, wake up.
01:20:45Wake up.
01:20:46Wake up.
01:20:46What?
01:20:46Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:52Stand up, girly.
01:20:54Real slow.
01:20:58I know it's a shame.
01:21:01There's something about your spirit I kind of like.
01:21:05Even if you were a pain in my ass at every flip and turn.
01:21:09Mara!
01:21:10Mara, come here, wait for me!
01:21:13Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:16No!
01:21:16You stupid fool!
01:21:20Why didn't you do that?
01:21:22Let's screw this family.
01:21:30Mom!
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:33I heard you're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:35Are you okay?
01:21:36What the hell happened here?
01:21:39It was Maggie.
01:21:43It's not her name.
01:21:45It's Jackie.
01:21:46Well, where's Jackie now?
01:21:48She left the house.
01:21:52Oh, come here, come here, come here, come here.
01:22:01I'm so glad you two are here.
01:22:03We are too, believe me.
01:22:06Yeah, we kind of need to get out of the house these days anyways.
01:22:10Mara's putting her plans on hold a little while longer, but this time I'm not complaining.
01:22:15Neither is my boyfriend.
01:22:16He's being a saint about all of this.
01:22:19Oh, I hear that.
01:22:20Didn't you say I'm so sorry about your ex's passing?
01:22:24You mean his murder.
01:22:27Oh, imagine how sorry you'd feel if you were the reason that he's dead.
01:22:30Come on, don't say that.
01:22:33I'm not.
01:22:34It's true whether I say it out loud or not.
01:22:37Have the police been able to tell you anything else?
01:22:40Well, um, James' real name is Paul Northcutt.
01:22:44I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?
01:22:53Okay, yes, Mara, he was, but he also saved my life.
01:22:56Mm-hmm.
01:22:58Then he couldn't have been all that bad.
01:23:00And, um, Maggie?
01:23:02You mean Jackie Turner?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:05According to Rosa's guide, she's been arrested a few times,
01:23:08mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others,
01:23:13but she's a lot more dangerous than her rap she'd hinted at.
01:23:16And we have no idea where she is now.
01:23:19I'm sure she's still out there,
01:23:20just running the same game on another unsuspecting family.
01:23:24Well, she can't hide forever.
01:23:29Would you look at this place?
01:23:32It's enormous.
01:23:36You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:37Are you all right?
01:23:39Maybe I am.
01:23:40A little.
01:23:42I need this to go right.
01:23:44Now, don't worry, honey.
01:23:46Mama's here.
01:23:48I'm gonna make sure that man in there is yours.
01:23:52All yours.
01:23:53And soon.
01:23:55Okay.
01:24:07Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:12I'm Bridget.
01:24:12Yes, Landon's mentioned you.
01:24:14Well, he's mentioned you as well.
01:24:16This is my mother, Christine.
01:24:18Hi.
01:24:19Hello.
01:24:19Well, please, come on in.
01:24:23And I'm gonna go get Landon for you.
01:24:27Make yourselves at home.
01:24:29You don't have to tell us twice.
01:24:31Wow.
01:24:45And I'm gonna go get ourselves.
01:24:48See you next time.
01:24:48I'm22.
