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.
00:01:06James, James, wake up.
00:01:08James, wake up.
00:01:10Wake up, James.
00:01:11There's somebody down here.
00:01:13Here's help.
00:01:15Somebody in the house, James.
00:01:16Look at me.
00:01:17Look at me.
00:01:30Good morning, husband.
00:01:46Good morning, wife.
00:01:49I didn't know you were up.
00:01:51Why?
00:01:53I didn't think I was the, hey, we're in Vegas, let's get hitched kind of girl.
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:58Well, here we are.
00:02:00Damn right.
00:02:01I got you something.
00:02:08You did?
00:02:11It's just a little post-wedding gift.
00:02:14A small token of my love.
00:02:17Babe, I didn't get you anything.
00:02:21You gave me everything.
00:02:22Go ahead.
00:02:27Open 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
00:03:22love together.
00:03:23I don't like the sound of that.
00:03:26Hmm.
00:03:27What 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
00:03:33enough for 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.
00:03:56Listen, diabetes can be a real bitch.
00:04:01I should warn you.
00:04:03I can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:05Well, 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 done.
00:04:39I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:41Where is he?
00:04:41Are you speaking his mother up at the airport, remember?
00:04:44Oh, 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.
00:04:53Well, I 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...
00:05:03You're not upset, right?
00:05:07I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:09No.
00:05:11No, 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?
00:05:29No, yeah.
00:05:30I really do.
00:05:32I see the way that he treats you.
00:05:33It's very sweet, and I think that you deserve it, but...
00:05:39Like you said, it just...
00:05:41It happened so fast, and I feel like you're still pretty vulnerable after everything that happened last year.
00:05:49Maybe.
00:05:52Honey, I'm an adult, and I know what's right for me.
00:05:57I'm so much better than a year ago.
00:05:59You know, you and James are a big part of why.
00:06:07Heck, you know, between my loving daughter and my new husband and my shrink, I'm pretty much as good as new.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:16I know how terrible it all was, but...
00:06:17Honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:23I have no idea that 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 and 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, our casa is your casa.
00:07:09Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:14Mom, come on.
00:07:16Be nice.
00:07:17Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23You're welcome.
00:07:25We're happy to have you.
00:07:26Yeah, we are happy to have you, Mom.
00:07:29Let's sit down.
00:07:29Isn't that nice?
00:07:36I'll try not to be too much trouble.
00:07:40Oh, I'm sure there'll be no trouble at all.
00:07:43Say cheese.
00:07:44What 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.
00:07:52Put that thing away now.
00:07:54It's okay.
00:07:55It's okay, Mom.
00:07:56It's okay.
00:07:57Why 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, all right.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:10So it's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:13Okay.
00:08:15Well, 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, no, actually, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:42For the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:44Oh, no, is that right?
00:08:47What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:51I'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,
00:09:01you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:05I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:09Oh, no, of course not.
00:09:11I'm just kidding.
00:09:13So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:15Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was, you know, 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.
00:09:35Now 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 going to be so much fun.
00:10:02Uh, you wanted to see me?
00:10:08What's up?
00:10:09Come here.
00:10:10Yeah?
00:10:10Look, I just...
00:10:12What's going on?
00:10:13Kristen, 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?
00:10:27She said that?
00:10:28I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much, and 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.
00:10:41Is she just from a different era?
00:10:43And yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:46Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart, and it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you and 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.
00:11:17I promise.
00:11:19This is all going to work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:32What 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?
00:11:47Your 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.
00:12:00You know, I don't even know why we're getting divorced.
00:12:03Because 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, I'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.
00:12:28That's my soon-to-be ex, and he, oh, 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, I'm okay.
00:12:44You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:50James' mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so, you have someone new living in your house.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59She, um, she has diabetes, and she has to use 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?
00:13:09I don't know, I'm just, the way that she looks at me, you know, I'm just cold, dismissive.
00:13:18The first time we met, she said something to me about my quickie wedding with her boy.
00:13:22Oh, sounds to me like she's just a little hurt that she didn't get to see you two get married.
00:13:26It sounded more to me like she was upset she didn't get to stop it.
00:13:29Well, mothers-in-laws, the new brides, butting heads, that's not exactly an uncommon thing.
00:13:36But, um, how's your mind doing otherwise?
00:13:41I'm, uh, I'm good.
00:13:44You know, I mean, I haven't had any nightmares the past few months.
00:13:47Mm-hmm.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business without looking in every direction for some guy creeping up behind me.
00:13:56And, I don't know, I can just breathe, I guess.
00:14:02You know, it's, little 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, I know.
00:14:18I just, um, I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:24I know, lots of people out there would have experienced some kind of breakdown from that.
00:14:29If you ask me, you're doing great.
00:14:34Thanks, Dr. Lewis.
00:14:37Thanks to you, you know.
00:14:40And, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:42Hey, girlie.
00:14:59Hey, what'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.
00:15:07Your 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.
00:15:33Or two.
00:15:34How's it hanging, kid?
00:15:35I'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, 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.
00:15:59You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off.
00:16:06Uh, therapy.
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?
00:16:25Let's do this.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:26Hey, Michael.
00:16:28Come here.
00:16:29I've got something to tell you.
00:16:32Uh.
00:16:36Yeah, what's up?
00:16:38I've got to lean in if I'm going to tell you.
00:16:42Bop!
00:16:43Bop.
00:16:46You'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.
00:16:54See this?
00:16:55You 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.
00:17:11She's going to need to stop kicking at my mom, or we're going to have a pump.
00:17:14How'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.
00:17:23Like, the last thing she needs is this lady picking at her, making her crazy.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28She's a real kick.
00:17:31She's a real kick.
00:17:34She's a real kick.
00:17:34I'm a close.
00:17:34Now, I'm a killer.
00:17:35No, I'm a little girl.
00:17:36No, I'm a killer.
00:17:36I'm a body.
00:17:37I'm just a real kick.
00:17:38No, I'm a killer.
00:17:38No, I'm a killer.
00:17:39No, I'm a killer.
00:17:40No.
00:17:40I'm a killer.
00:17:41Yeah, I'm a killer.
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:45Oh, what's that race?
00:17:46Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.
00:17:59Oh, my God.
00:18:00Are you serious?
00:18:01Steve, do me a favor.
00:18:02You call building management.
00:18:04They really need to get out of their game and have security around here.
00:18:06I mean, that is unacceptable.
00:18:07Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:18:09Yeah, well, I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:13You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:16Well, yeah.
00:18:21Well, how close did the guy get to you?
00:18:23Was he like a car in the end?
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.
00:18:40Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:46This 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, and 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, and 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.
00:20:14Um, soon.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:18See you soon.
00:20:18Bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:20Bye.
00:20:38You 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 who are looking for apartments for us right 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.
00:21:01Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:06I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea, okay?
00:21:11She was getting constant phone calls every single day.
00:21:14This psychopath was leaving these very disturbing messages talking about how they were soulmates
00:21:19and how they were meant to be together, and she should just give in to fate.
00:21:22Oh.
00:21:23Calling her all the time, following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:27He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was going to be.
00:21:29I 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, and that's the night that she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:51Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most, I was at some stupid house party playing beer pong.
00:21:57And, you know, if I would have been there, who knows?
00:22:01Maybe 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, I do feel responsible.
00:22:15That's why I've been sleeping at home again.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20Don't remind me.
00:22:21Look, it's just going to be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:27So, whatever happened to that spin-class stalker anyways?
00:22:31The police came, they carted him away, but, you know, unfortunately by then, some real damage had already been committed.
00:22:38And was she, like, committed?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Briefly.
00:22:45Just a couple of days, but...
00:22:47Since then, she's just been getting by with support from friends and family.
00:22:52Well, it'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, I like James.
00:23:00Me, too.
00:23:01I don't know.
00:23:02There's always something different about him.
00:23:05You know, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but...
00:23:07At least he's been a positive force in my mom's life.
00:23:16Hey, Maggie.
00:23:19Kristen.
00:23:22You demolish any...
00:23:24Marriages today?
00:23:27No.
00:23:27Three or four.
00:23:28Unusual amount.
00:23:31What are you doing?
00:23:33Solving the conflicts in the Middle East.
00:23:35It's a lot harder than I thought.
00:23:37What does it look like I'm doing?
00:23:41Playing solitaire.
00:23:43I...
00:23:43I guess I just met.
00:23:46How's it going?
00:23:49What did you say the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:54And how many people usually play it at one time?
00:23:59Just...
00:23:59Just one.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:03Hmm.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08I'm not really sure.
00:24:10He's...
00:24:11Doing some errands or something.
00:24:17What's wrong?
00:24:19You're looking a little frantic.
00:24:21No, I'm fine.
00:24:22It's just...
00:24:23What's the matter?
00:24:32You're not going to answer it?
00:24:33Hello?
00:24:38Hello?
00:24:42Hello?
00:24:47Hello?
00:24:50No one there?
00:24:52No, there's not.
00:24:54No, no, you don't
00:25:00No
00:25:01Where are you rushing off to?
00:25:06I saw you
00:25:08Hey, Mom, what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even touched your food
00:25:19Oh, yeah, don't mind me
00:25:22I'm just a little stressed out for some reason tonight
00:25:25And there's nothing wrong with that
00:25:27No, no, of course not
00:25:29Are you getting any more of those calls that we were talking about today?
00:25:37Are you?
00:25:40You know I did
00:25:41What calls are they talking about?
00:25:45I get unknown callers all the time
00:25:47I mean, it could be anybody
00:25:48For all we know, it could be just a super dedicated telemarketer
00:25:52Yeah, I mean, it could be
00:25:54Except, you know, a major part of telemarketing
00:25:57Is actually talking to the person you're trying to reach
00:25:59I don't know
00:26:00I'm sure it's nothing
00:26:02Well, if it's nothing
00:26:03Why did your lovely new bride race out into the backyard afterwards
00:26:07Like her pants were on flipping fire?
00:26:10Mom
00:26:11You did?
00:26:13You did that, babe?
00:26:15Why?
00:26:15I thought I saw somebody out there
00:26:20And?
00:26:23And I was wrong
00:26:24It's okay
00:26:27It's really okay, Mom
00:26:28Does all this have something to do with your breakdown last year?
00:26:36James told me that you came close to losing your marbles
00:26:40I did not
00:26:43I did not say that
00:26:44Mom
00:26:44Would you please be
00:26:45Interested in my daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:48I thought that's the reason why I came
00:26:50Was for all of us to get to know each other
00:26:52Well, you could be a little nicer
00:26:55And I could be from Kalamazoo
00:26:57But I'm not
00:26:57I am who I am
00:27:00One of the great benefits of getting to know each other
00:27:04And believe me, there aren't many
00:27:05Is being able to say that
00:27:08And know for sure that it's 100% true
00:27:10Look
00:27:14I'm sorry
00:27:16I didn't come here to be anyone's thorn
00:27:20So if you want me to leave
00:27:23I will
00:27:24No, no, Maggie
00:27:30I
00:27:30I wouldn't have that
00:27:33Hey, we're
00:27:34We're family now
00:27:36Hey
00:27:36Do I have the greatest wife
00:27:40Or what?
00:27:45Oh, you know
00:27:46Will you guys excuse me?
00:27:47Mom
00:27:48No, Mara, I'm fine
00:27:49I just need to get some fresh air
00:27:51Do you want me to go?
00:27:52No, no
00:27:52You guys, uh, just relax
00:27:54I don't really blame her
00:27:58It's a nice night out there
00:28:04Hey, hey
00:28:19Maggie, she's...
00:28:23She's sick, Mara
00:28:25We should be pitying her
00:28:26Not judging her
00:28:27Well, we're not the one
00:28:30Licking down our noses
00:28:31Look, Mom
00:28:33I know that I keep asking you this
00:28:35But are you okay?
00:28:38Yeah, don't worry about me
00:28:39That's not an answer
00:28:41Okay, well, you know
00:28:43For you it is
00:28:44Look, I know I'm the reason
00:28:47That you put off your move
00:28:48With Michael
00:28:48Mom
00:28:49No, Mara
00:28:50I don't want you putting your life
00:28:51On hold for me
00:28:52Well, you know
00:28:54I don't want you back
00:28:55In that place
00:28:55What do you say
00:29:01We, uh, go inside
00:29:02And show me some yellow
00:29:02A little bit of a song
00:29:03Want me to, you know
00:29:04Still cool as they chill out?
00:29:06No
00:29:07No
00:29:07But I can show you
00:29:09How to do that
00:29:10Good
00:29:11Show me some cool words, too
00:29:13Oh, hey
00:29:27Listen, I wanted to thank you
00:29:29For making the John handicap friendly
00:29:31Maybe you could, uh, take a hint
00:29:35Come again?
00:29:37Look, you could show a little bit more kindness
00:29:40Around here
00:29:41Okay
00:29:43And
00:29:44As far as the bathroom upgrade goes
00:29:46You can thank your son for that
00:29:49Yeah, but I'm talking to you
00:29:51And it seems like you have something to say
00:29:54Is it about your mother?
00:30:00Maggie, my mom has done nothing
00:30:02But show kindness to you
00:30:03Including giving you a room
00:30:04And a board
00:30:05And, you know
00:30:08I see her trying to make it work
00:30:10She's not tough like you
00:30:13And you see that
00:30:14So I'm just
00:30:15Honestly, I'm really not sure
00:30:17Why you have to make it so hard on her
00:30:19Well, you call it hard
00:30:21I call it helpful
00:30:23The worst thing you can do
00:30:27Is indulge someone's fantasies
00:30:29When
00:30:29They're not thinking straight
00:30:31Fantasies?
00:30:34You think she's enjoying this?
00:30:37Well, there you go
00:30:38Using the dirty definition
00:30:39But when you actually break the word down
00:30:43What it really means
00:30:44Is that someone has seen something that's not there
00:30:47Due to a psychological need
00:30:49So what are you saying?
00:30:51Well, I'm saying
00:30:52That's a good thing she's seeing a head doctor
00:30:54Just saying
00:30:56Look
00:30:59Look
00:30:59I'm sorry, okay
00:31:01I know how I can come off sometimes
00:31:05But
00:31:07Maybe if you just
00:31:09Try to see the situation through my eyes
00:31:12The way you're being protective of your mother
00:31:14Is
00:31:16Kinda how I feel about my son
00:31:19And I might not be around
00:31:22Very much longer
00:31:24In fact, it could be sooner than later
00:31:27So I
00:31:29I guess I'm
00:31:31I'm just trying to make sure
00:31:34That she can do
00:31:35What needs to be done
00:31:37Before I'm gone
00:31:38I get it
00:31:40I do, it's just
00:31:41It's a lot
00:31:43Yeah, so is a mother's love
00:31:45Well
00:31:54It's time for me to get to bed
00:31:57You have a nice night now
00:32:00Okay?
00:32:02Night
00:32:13It's time for me to get to bed
00:32:43It's me, it's me
00:32:54You should be a bad dream
00:32:56Okay
00:32:59Okay
00:32:59You should be a bad dream
00:33:00Come here
00:33:02Come here
00:33:03Oh, God
00:33:05I'm so sorry
00:33:07I'm so sorry
00:33:13Morning, boss
00:33:39Morning
00:33:40There you go
00:33:41You look exhausted
00:33:43Thanks, Steve
00:33:45That was the look I was going for
00:33:47Did Rebecca Palmer confirm for this morning?
00:33:51She should be here in a few minutes
00:33:53Great
00:33:53Just enough time to get caffeinated
00:33:55Let me know when she arrives, Lee
00:33:56Sure thing
00:33:57Oh, hey
00:33:58I just spoke with the building manager
00:34:00Oh, what do you say?
00:34:02Basically, he said he follows all the protocols in the book
00:34:04But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint
00:34:06You're more than welcome
00:34:07No, that's okay
00:34:10I feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill
00:34:13So
00:34:13Let's just put it behind us
00:34:15Sounds good to me
00:34:16Hey, Steve
00:34:35Yeah
00:34:36Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:41Um, not that I know of
00:34:42Why?
00:34:43Why?
00:34:46Yes?
00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's here
00:35:04Uh, thanks
00:35:06You okay?
00:35:10Yeah, yeah
00:35:11Can you, uh, show her in, please?
00:35:13All right
00:35:14It's great to see you
00:35:16Mm-hmm
00:35:16How are you today?
00:35:18I, uh, am getting a big fat divorce
00:35:20How good can I really be?
00:35:22All right
00:35:23Well, let me see if I can make that a little easier for you
00:35:25We'll, uh, let me start with
00:35:27Sorry, I should have this on silent
00:35:33Yes, you should
00:35:34It's been a bit hectic
00:35:37My mother-in-law's been staying with us
00:35:39Looks like someone really wants to talk to you
00:35:44Hmm
00:35:45Apparently
00:35:46Uh, okay, so, um
00:35:52Were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:55Yes
00:35:55I did
00:35:56I, I emailed that to you three days ago
00:35:59Right, yes, of course you did
00:36:01And maybe this is a bad time
00:36:07No, no, no, no, no
00:36:08I'm
00:36:09Oh, my God
00:36:13What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm, I'm sorry
00:36:18Rebecca, will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:20By the time I came back into my office
00:36:38The client was already gone
00:36:39Oh, God, what am I saying?
00:36:41She's probably an ex-client by now
00:36:42I'm sorry that, that happened, Kristen
00:36:45But, um, this, this second stalker
00:36:48Don't you think that's unlikely
00:36:51Based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice?
00:36:55Lucky me, you know
00:36:56Two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women
00:36:58Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:37:00Now, start from the beginning
00:37:02Now, you received some calls from an unknown number
00:37:05And no one was talking back to you
00:37:07Right, and, and, and then there was somebody
00:37:10Who's following me in the parking lot at work
00:37:12And, and then outside of my house
00:37:15And now you've received a rose, you said
00:37:17That was left on your office desk this morning
00:37:20And a text asking me if I liked it
00:37:23Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah
00:37:25Damn it
00:37:28What?
00:37:29I forgot I was just freaked out when I saw the message
00:37:31I deleted it
00:37:32That's okay
00:37:33Oh, God, I feel like I'm losing it again
00:37:35Easy, easy
00:37:37Now, last time we sat down
00:37:39You said you were under extra pressure at home
00:37:41From your mother-in-law moving in
00:37:43Maggie
00:37:45I take it
00:37:46Well, that's not going well
00:37:48I mean
00:37:49I get that she's sick, you know
00:37:52And so I'm, I'm trying to just roll with it
00:37:54But she is relentless in her
00:37:55Passive, not so passive aggression towards me
00:38:00And the timing on it all
00:38:01It couldn't be more worse
00:38:03With this new situation
00:38:04Do you think I'm going crazy again?
00:38:10A, you didn't last time
00:38:11And I don't like that word
00:38:12And B, no
00:38:14But I think you're pushed pretty close to your limit right now
00:38:18Now, how have you been sleeping?
00:38:21Not great
00:38:22So you're tired
00:38:23Your brain is playing little tricks on you
00:38:25And those phone calls
00:38:26Those could be legitimate wrong numbers
00:38:28Yeah
00:38:30And then the text
00:38:31That I, that I can't show you
00:38:33And the roles
00:38:34That could be James trying to surprise you
00:38:36Or
00:38:36You know what?
00:38:38You could have a secret admirer out there
00:38:39Somewhere trying to find a way to reach out
00:38:41But, um
00:38:42Nothing wrong with being extra cautious
00:38:43You see
00:38:44These things keep happening
00:38:45You call me or
00:38:47Call the police
00:38:49So
00:38:50Dr. Liz, you
00:38:51You think I could have a stalker again?
00:38:58You think I could have a stalker again?
00:39:28Oh, look at you out here
00:39:30What's next?
00:39:32You gonna clean out the gutters?
00:39:33Put a fresh coat of paint on the house?
00:39:35Yeah, I mean, that's me
00:39:36Mr. Suburbia
00:39:37I'm actually
00:39:39I'm glad that you're here
00:39:40And I wanted to talk to you
00:39:42I'm concerned
00:39:44About your mother
00:39:45Yeah
00:39:47Me too
00:39:48That's actually why I wanted to talk to you
00:39:51Oh, good
00:39:51I mean
00:39:53To me, it seems like she's kind of
00:39:54Losing it a little
00:39:56You know, mentally
00:39:57Yeah
00:39:58I see it too
00:40:00Is this how she acted the last time
00:40:03With her breakdown?
00:40:06Yeah
00:40:07I guess
00:40:08To be honest
00:40:09I wasn't
00:40:10Paying as close attention to her
00:40:12As I should have at the time
00:40:13You know
00:40:14Because I wasn't expecting it
00:40:15But, uh
00:40:15I am now
00:40:17What about this stalker?
00:40:19I mean, do you
00:40:19Do you believe that she's actually
00:40:21Being stalked by some guy?
00:40:22I think that she believes it
00:40:25And, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot
00:40:28Yeah
00:40:29Mentally
00:40:29You have to talk to Maggie, James
00:40:32She's making it worse
00:40:33Yeah
00:40:34My mom, she
00:40:36She really knows how to push people's buttons
00:40:39She is who she is
00:40:41So she declares
00:40:42Look, if you can't control Maggie
00:40:46I'm gonna have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house
00:40:50I know
00:40:51I know
00:40:51I know it sounds harsh, but
00:40:53I get it
00:40:55Your mom's mental health
00:40:58Is more important
00:40:59Yeah, good
00:41:01Great
00:41:02Yeah
00:41:03I'm glad we're on the same page with that
00:41:05100%
00:41:06Oh, man
00:41:07I mean
00:41:08We love you, James
00:41:10I don't know if I ever
00:41:12Really thanked you for making my mom so happy
00:41:14Okay
00:41:17Well, uh
00:41:18I'll let you get back to it
00:41:20Oh, you missed a spot
00:41:24Good night
00:41:28Do we have a problem?
00:41:36It's time we go for a ride
00:41:44I had a feeling
00:41:47So you and the girls seem chummier than ever
00:42:04And when I see you with the mother
00:42:05I swear I can feel the love
00:42:08So what's wrong with that?
00:42:10Look, we gotta stay focused
00:42:12That's what I'm telling you
00:42:14This place is empty
00:42:19Yeah
00:42:20He's supposed to be meeting us here
00:42:22Hey
00:42:24Back here
00:42:25So I had to start drinking
00:42:30You know, trailing soccer moms all day
00:42:33It's thirsty business
00:42:34We didn't come here to drink with you, Max
00:42:38What are you still doing with that stupid walker?
00:42:43Because you idiot
00:42:44I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now, can I?
00:42:55Yeah, yeah
00:42:55You told me that before
00:42:57I still don't understand why you used that stupid thing
00:42:59Because it makes me a sympathetic character
00:43:02Even when I'm acting like a raging bitch
00:43:05Well, why don't you just kill her with kindness?
00:43:08Because we're supposed to be gaslighting her
00:43:10It's a delicate act of balance
00:43:14See, how it works is
00:43:17Somebody, me
00:43:19Puts a target on their heels as much as possible
00:43:23While someone else
00:43:25Him
00:43:26Yeah
00:43:27I hold their hand
00:43:29Look them in the eye
00:43:31And I say
00:43:32Everything's gonna be alright, baby
00:43:35Ooh
00:43:36Get some spinning real good
00:43:40Well, and then someone else comes along
00:43:42Me
00:43:43And
00:43:44Pushes them over the edge
00:43:47Looks like someone's really enjoying themselves
00:43:50That's funny
00:43:51Because I was about to say the same thing about you
00:43:53Ah, guilty as charged
00:43:55Okay, okay
00:43:57So I get it
00:43:59Good con, bad con
00:44:01I get that whole thing
00:44:02Why this lady?
00:44:04I came across this blog she wrote
00:44:07About her nervous breakdown last year
00:44:09Some love-struck fool breaks into her house
00:44:14And drives her crazy
00:44:16So
00:44:17I hired this guy
00:44:19To help me double down on it
00:44:21Yeah
00:44:22Once we have it committed
00:44:24I'll be in complete control of her finances
00:44:27Won't take long
00:44:28We'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean
00:44:31And what about the lady's daughter?
00:44:35Yeah
00:44:35That's why we're here
00:44:36The little brat is getting real protective
00:44:40She'll get rid of us soon
00:44:42If we don't get this done
00:44:44And chances are
00:44:46She'll be successful
00:44:48So
00:44:50We gotta do this thing
00:44:52Tonight
00:44:53Right, son?
00:44:56Right, mom
00:44:56Mom, yoga's supposed to relax you
00:45:08Not stress you out more
00:45:10Honey, you and Michael are supposed to be leaving for LA next week
00:45:15The move has been pushed back a few months
00:45:18That's all
00:45:18No, you mean your life is being delayed because of me
00:45:20No
00:45:21Because, you know, there's been a whole lot of changes around here lately
00:45:24Oh, sweetheart, I'm gonna be fine
00:45:26I mean, I know Maggie can be tough
00:45:28But I've got James to help me handle her
00:45:30You know, he really does love me
00:45:32I know
00:45:33He would never do anything to hurt me
00:45:36Yeah
00:45:36Come on
00:45:39Let's take a break
00:45:40I'm dying
00:45:40Okay
00:45:41Your job's done here, Max
00:45:45It's time for you to get out of Dodge
00:45:47Looks a little light
00:45:56I told you the deal when I hired you
00:45:59You get the rest
00:46:01When we all get ours
00:46:03Fine
00:46:13I don't want to be there tonight
00:46:15When it all goes down
00:46:17Because otherwise this whole thing has felt like a tease
00:46:18Nah
00:46:19That's a bad idea
00:46:21See, first
00:46:23You don't know the layout of the house
00:46:25And second
00:46:25You are a little too stimulated by this whole thing
00:46:29And I haven't been pushing that flippin' walker for my health either
00:46:33I need to push this snowflake over the edge tonight
00:46:39And she cannot know that I am physically capable of it
00:46:45So
00:46:46You can't be anywhere near the house
00:46:49In fact
00:46:51I don't even want you in the same state
00:46:54Okay
00:46:57And I'm gonna need some more money
00:47:00Up front
00:47:02Not this when and if
00:47:03The thing
00:47:04I'm talking about right now
00:47:07You gotta be flippin' kidding me
00:47:12It's like my drunk daddy used to say
00:47:15A little leverage
00:47:16Is better than any beverage
00:47:17Huh?
00:47:23What do you say?
00:47:25Should we go to an ATM?
00:47:27What?
00:47:27Because you don't want to go back to prison
00:47:29I know that
00:47:30And you do not want me telling people
00:47:33What I know
00:47:34Okay, Max
00:47:40You win
00:47:41Finish your drink
00:47:44And we'll go get you your money
00:47:47Dynamite
00:47:51Dynamite
00:47:56So
00:48:01We two
00:48:02You two ain't angry at me, right?
00:48:04Of course not, Max
00:48:05Good, because you do the same
00:48:07You and me, right?
00:48:09Of course I would
00:48:10Good
00:48:10Because we're all just terrible people
00:48:12Right?
00:48:13Well, we have to be
00:48:14You and me
00:48:44I don't know.
00:49:14I don't know.
00:49:44I'm turning in.
00:49:47Okay, Mom.
00:49:50Good night.
00:49:51Sleep tight.
00:49:53Hey, 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.
00:50:20Yeah.
00:50:21Well, see you in the morning, okay?
00:50:24I'll be out before my head hits the pillow.
00:50:27Night, Maggie.
00:50:27I'll be out for you.
00:50:57I'll be out for you.
00:51:27I'll be out for you.
00:51:57I'll be out for you.
00:52:27Yeah, Mom's all settled in.
00:52:45Hmm.
00:52:47I can't believe your mom was actually nice to me tonight.
00:52:50I told you.
00:52:53She really likes you.
00:52:56Hmm.
00:52:58Yeah, you know, 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.
00:53:05Mom, I swear I'm going to make her love me, even if it kills me.
00:53:09Good night, baby.
00:53:16Good night, baby.
00:53:18Good night, baby.
00:53:20Sweet dreams.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:38Yeah.
00:53:38Sweet dreams.
00:53:40What's next?
00:53:42Where's she?
00:54:00Yeah.
00:54:01I don't know.
00:54:31I don't know.
00:55:01James.
00:55:03James.
00:55:05Hey, wake up.
00:55:07Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:13Hey.
00:55:17Hey.
00:55:29Hey.
00:55:31Hey.
00:55:33Hey.
00:55:35Hey.
00:55:37Hey.
00:55:39Hey.
00:55:41Hey.
00:55:43Hey.
00:55:45Hey.
00:55:47Hey.
00:55:49Hey.
00:55:51Hey.
00:55:53Hey.
00:55:55Hey.
00:55:57Hey.
00:55:59Hey.
00:56:01Hey.
00:56:03Hey.
00:56:05Hey.
00:56:07Hey.
00:56:09Hey.
00:56:11Hey.
00:56:17Hey.
00:56:19Hey.
00:56:21Hey.
00:56:23Hey.
00:56:25Hey.
00:56:27Oh 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.
00:56:52I think somebody broke into my house.
00:56:53Ma'am, are you alone?
00:56:54No, no. My daughter's here.
00:56:57And my husband and my mother-in-law.
00:56:59Get everyone together. I'm sending a car right away.
00:57:01Okay, okay.
00:57:02Oh my god. Oh my god.
00:57:08Jason! Jason, let me go!
00:57:11Jason, please, Jason, I'm coming out of here.
00:57:15Help!
00:57:16Somebody help me!
00:57:18Please, please, I'm coming out of here.
00:57:21Help! Somebody help me!
00:57:26Please, please, please!
00:57:31Kristen!
00:57:32Kristen!
00:57:34There's somebody else!
00:57:35It's me! It's me!
00:57:36No, no, no, no!
00:57:37It's me!
00:57:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:57:40There's no one in the house.
00:57:41There's no way. It's just me.
00:57:42It's just me. Look at me.
00:57:43Look at me. Look at me.
00:57:44It's just me.
00:57:45It's just me.
00:57:46It's okay.
00:57:47It's okay.
00:57:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:08Hi, Denise, I was going to call you.
00:58:10How's Kristen Walker doing?
00:58:12I'm looking at her right now.
00:58:14She's actually very calm.
00:58:15I really like her.
00:58:17Yeah, me too.
00:58:18Thanks for squeezing her in.
00:58:20I'd hate for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital, even for a few days.
00:58:25It was a close call.
00:58:26I know.
00:58:27She needs a lot of help, Denise.
00:58:29I know.
00:58:31Well, she's going to be evaluated again next week by the state, but I'm feeling pretty confident we should get her home by the end of the month.
00:58:37From your mouth, the God's ears.
00:58:39Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks them through these things.
00:58:42I just give them a place to stay.
00:58:44And bless you for that.
00:58:45Oh, um, Cheryl, I gotta go.
00:58:50Yeah, I'll check with you later.
00:58:53Hi.
00:58:54Damn it!
00:58:55Will you calm down?
00:58:57Calm down?
00:58:58Where did this halfway house for crazies come from?
00:59:01They were supposed to commit her.
00:59:04Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:06Oh, damn it.
00:59:08All right.
00:59:08I said 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.
00:59:14We are crooks.
00:59:15We're not murderers.
00:59:17And sometimes we do both.
00:59:19Or did I just dream about what happened at that bar, Mr. Stabby?
00:59:22That was necessary.
00:59:24This 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, so all I know is that my mom was doing a lot better before Maggie got here.
00:59:42The timing of all this, it could be coincidental, but do you have any pictures of James and his mother?
00:59:47Oh, actually, yeah, I do.
00:59:51Oh, text her to me, will you?
00:59:53Yeah.
00:59:57Huh.
01:00:08You know, you got me confused again.
01:00:10One more time.
01:00:12Did you come into this woman's life to love her or to rob her?
01:00:16Don't worry about me.
01:00:19I'm a pro, okay?
01:00:21But we do not need to hurt these people.
01:00:24Let'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.
01:00:39All 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.
01:00:47Damn 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 kill-em-with-kindness routine.
01:00:59Fine.
01:01:00As long as she's not on to us.
01:01:03Question is,
01:01:04What are you prepared to do if she is?
01:01:11Yes?
01:01:12It's me.
01:01:13Come in.
01:01:15You see what I did?
01:01:17I called first, so I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
01:01:20I'll keep that in mind.
01:01:22But, um,
01:01:23what if I need you for some of your old tricks?
01:01:28Oh, a real dog doesn't forget the old stuff.
01:01:30What do you got?
01:01:30If I text you, um, some pictures,
01:01:33you think you can find out what you can about a couple of people?
01:01:36I mean, I'll-I'll owe you one.
01:01:37And considering what you owe me.
01:01:41Well, I don't mind you owing me one.
01:01:43Those are some of my favorite nights, Denise.
01:01:45Don't start.
01:01:47All right, text me the pics.
01:01:49I'll get right on it.
01:01:50It may be dangerous or even life-threatening.
01:02:08Family history may increase likelihood.
01:02:11In some cases, a combination of medications can work better.
01:02:14Anyone with this disease will need lifelong insulin therapy.
01:02:17I'll get right on it.
01:02:47I'll get right on it.
01:02:48That's very interesting.
01:03:25You need something?
01:03:46No. No, sorry. My toilet's clogged, so I just figured I would use the one in here. Do you mind?
01:03:53Mind? It's your house, girl.
01:03:56You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:58Tinkle.
01:03:59That's funny.
01:04:01I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:02You sure you don't want me to come? I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:17It's a keg walk compared to what she's going through.
01:04:19Thank you for driving me. I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:24Anybody would be. James didn't want to come?
01:04:28I didn't tell him I was coming. I just, I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:35I know that you like James.
01:04:36Hey, Mar, I barely know the guy. And quite honestly, nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:44Yeah. Speaking of mothers.
01:04:47Good luck in there.
01:04:48You must be Mara.
01:04:58Cheryl.
01:04:58Come on in.
01:04:59How's she doing?
01:05:00She's a little out of it because of the medication, but better overall than you're probably thinking.
01:05:05Okay. Has she talked about what happened?
01:05:06No, but she hasn't said much of anything since she got here. Something tells me she'll be really happy to see you.
01:05:12Kristen, you have a visitor.
01:05:14Mom.
01:05:14Hi, sweetheart.
01:05:16Hi, Mom.
01:05:17I'll let you two catch up. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me for anything.
01:05:20Thanks, Cheryl.
01:05:21Mm-hmm.
01:05:22Honey, I'm okay. Okay, I'm fine. Really, I just, I had a bad night.
01:05:27I'm so sorry.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30I can't believe I slept through it again. I let you down again.
01:05:33No. No, you didn't.
01:05:36And I am not sorry. You can't. I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:40No.
01:05:41Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:42Yeah.
01:05:47Uh, I woke up because I thought I heard something, but then I listened and there was nothing there.
01:05:56So I, I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
01:06:01And so I figured I would just go online and I, I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:07So I went downstairs and I, and I saw that the door was open.
01:06:13So I, I, I called 911 and then I, I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:21So you actually saw someone?
01:06:23I, I, I think so. I, I mean, it was this shadow. At least, Mara, I swear to you, trust me, there was somebody in there with me.
01:06:32I believe you, but, you know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:38Oh, I'm, no. James was asleep. And Maggie can't even get around. She, she couldn't have done that.
01:06:45So either I, I, I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:53Or, you know, I'm, um, I'm losing my mind.
01:06:59No, Mom, you're not.
01:07:01Okay, we're gonna figure this out. Together. I promise you, we will figure this out.
01:07:06Mara, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
01:07:10Mom, don't be sorry, please. We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:15I promise you. I love you.
01:07:16I love you.
01:07:26Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:28Yeah. It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:32Come on, let's get out of here.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:40Come on, a little faster, please.
01:08:04I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:06Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:12Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right by me.
01:08:15So, what happened?
01:08:37Well, I mean, she had a breakdown. You know, a mental one.
01:08:45Mm-hmm. While you were...
01:08:47I was sleeping. I 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 she was totally hysterical. There was nothing I could do.
01:09:00No. And you? You just... You slept through the whole thing?
01:09:07Oh. Well, same as you, dear. I always sleep like a log.
01:09:12I don't. Ever. But I guess the insulin helps you sleep. Because you take it every day, right?
01:09:19That's right.
01:09:20I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:24Oh. Well, you think I poke myself in the living room between commercial breaks on the TV?
01:09:31No. I do it in my room alone.
01:09:35I went to see her today.
01:09:40I know.
01:09:41How do you know?
01:09:43Well, because I called the recovery house.
01:09:45I spoke to this very nice woman, um, Cheryl is her name.
01:09:49Mm-hmm.
01:09:49Yeah. She seemed very kind.
01:09:51Yeah, she is.
01:09:52I thought today might be too soon to go see her, so I called over there to ask Cheryl when I could spend a couple hours with my wife.
01:09:59She suggested that I come by tomorrow morning.
01:10:02Oh, you're such a sweet boy.
01:10:05A sweet boy who lets his mother run all over his newlywed wife.
01:10:09Mara, I did not do that.
01:10:12Yeah, you did.
01:10:12That's not very nice.
01:10:14And you have the nerve to call it some sort of tragic play?
01:10:18You're the one who's helping her write the damn thing.
01:10:20I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:10:22Hmm. Really?
01:10:24Pushing her a little here.
01:10:26Pushing her a little there.
01:10:28Making her uncomfortable in her own home.
01:10:30Look, Mara, I understand that you're upset.
01:10:33We all are upset.
01:10:35Oh, really?
01:10:36Because you guys don't seem upset at all.
01:10:39Flipping kids these days, I swear.
01:10:42Hey, what happened to having some respect for your elders?
01:10:46You say respect like you have one ounce of it.
01:10:51You know, this is a joke.
01:10:54I'm going to stay with Michael until we figure out what it is that we need to do.
01:10:59Don't you want anything to eat?
01:11:00Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:11:01I don't know.
01:11:07So, how do you think this is going?
01:13:08Hey Ross, getting back to you on that photo.
01:13:13Names you gave me don't match the ones I found.
01:13:15And it gets worse.
01:13:17Both have been arrested in the past separately for running cons down south.
01:13:20Give me a call back.
01:13:21I'll tell you what I know.
01:13:22This is Denise Lewis.
01:13:29I can't take your call right now.
01:13:32Leave me a message and I'll get back to you just as soon as I can.
01:13:35If it's an emergency, call 911.
01:13:37Denise, here's your emergency.
01:13:41My 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.
01:13:52Two questions.
01:13:55What are you doing in our house?
01:13:57And 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 Shrink.
01:14:31Oh, damn it, Hulk.
01:14:32Is he?
01:14:36Yeah.
01:14:37I had to.
01:14:38I had no choice.
01:14:39Well, what 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...
01:14:55We get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:15:00Okay?
01:15:02Agreed.
01:15:03We're just lucky that little bitch isn't around right now.
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.
01:15:48They could be dangerous.
01:15:50Oh, my God.
01:15:55Denise, hi.
01:15:59You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:00She's got keeping mostly to her south, but peaceful enough, considering the last couple
01:16:05of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me.
01:16:07I got a message from my ex.
01:16:09This patient of mine and her daughter, they're in real trouble with these people.
01:16:14What did he say?
01:16:16Well, I don't know the details, but he's a private investigator.
01:16:20And he was looking into the husband and the mother, and he said they're not who they say they are.
01:16:26Wait.
01:16:27What?
01:16:28Oh, my God.
01:16:29I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:40Let's go.
01:17:10Yes, that will be fine.
01:17:15Are they both home?
01:17:16Yeah, I think so.
01:17:19All right, so let's go out there, grab our jewelry box,
01:17:21and 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.
01:17:25OK, well, you should hurry.
01:17:27Oh, really?
01:17:28Because I was going to make a quick sandwich first.
01:17:29This is you hurrying?
01:17:40Go to sleep, kid. Go to sleep.
01:18:10Come on.
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.
01:19:06Messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:08First 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,
01:19:37and you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach in Mexico
01:19:40before 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.
01:19:53Oh, now look what you did.
01:19:55I'll get her.
01:19:56You idiot.
01:19:57I'll get her.
01:20:22Mara?
01:20:25Mara?
01:20:28Come on.
01:20:30I'm trying to help you.
01:20:36Michael!
01:20:38Michael!
01:20:40Michael!
01:20:42Michael!
01:20:44Michael, wake up.
01:20:46What?
01:20:48Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:52Stand up, girly.
01:20:54Real slow.
01:20:58Now 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, wait, wait!
01:21:13Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:16No!
01:21:18You fucking fool!
01:21:19Why didn't you do that?
01:21:22Just screw this family!
01:21:30Mom!
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:33You're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:37What the hell happened here?
01:21:38It was Maggie.
01:21:41It's not her name.
01:21:45It's Jackie.
01:21:46Where's Jackie now?
01:21:47She left the house.
01:21:49I'm so glad you two are here.
01:22:03We are, too.
01:22:04Believe me.
01:22:06Yeah, we kind of need to get out of the house these days anyways.
01:22:08Mara'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.
01:22:22Didn't you say I'm so sorry about your ex's passing?
01:22:24You mean his murder.
01:22:25Oh, imagine how sorry you'd feel if you were the reason that he's dead.
01:22:31Come 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.
01:22:43I 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.
01:22:58I mean, 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, mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others.
01:23:12But 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, just 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.
01:23:38Are you all right?
01:23:39Maybe I am.
01:23:40A little.
01:23:40I need this to go right.
01:23:44Well, 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.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:55Okay.
01:24:10Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:12I'm Bridget.
01:24:12Yes.
01:24:13Landon'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.
01:24:31I'll see you later.
01:24:40It's not going to take a place.
01:24:42Bye-bye.
01:24:52Bye-bye.
01:24:54Bye.
01:24:56Bye-bye.
01:24:56Bye-bye.
01:24:57Bye-bye.
01:24:57Bye-bye.
01:24:57Bye-bye.
01:24:58Bye-bye.
01:24:59Bye-bye.
