00:00:21James, hey, wake up.
00:00:23Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:56Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:01:04There's somebody in the house.
00:01:06James, James, wake up.
00:01:08James, wake up.
00:01:09Wake up, James.
00:01:11There's somebody down here.
00:01:12Here's help.
00:01:15Somebody in the house, James.
00:01:16Look at me.
00:01:17Look at me.
00:01:41Good morning, husband.
00:01:46Good morning, wife.
00:01:49I didn't know you were up.
00:01:51Why?
00:01:52I 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.
00:01:59Oh, damn right.
00:02:05I 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.
00:02:20You gave me everything.
00:02:26Go ahead.
00:02:27Open it.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:38Wow.
00:02:41You, you 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.
00:02:57Thank you, ma'am.
00:03:00Wow.
00:03:04Uh, 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.
00:03:17You 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.
00:03:50Yeah, 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.
00:04:09I mean, I know I can handle you.
00:04:24Your form is so good.
00:04:32Look, 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.
00:04:39Here, I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:40Where 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.
00:04:56We 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 not upset, right?
00:05:07I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:09No.
00:05:10Oh, no, I just, I think that maybe it feels a little, soon.
00:05:18I usually reserve that term for bad jokes about tragedy, but, yeah, 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 I think that you deserve it, but...
00:05:39Like you said, it just, it happened so fast, and I feel like you're still pretty vulnerable
00:05:45after everything that happened last year.
00:05:49Maybe.
00:05:52Honey, I'm an adult, and I know what's right for me.
00:05:56I am so much better than a year ago.
00:06:01You know, you and James are a big part of why.
00:06:09Heck, 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 honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:26I have no idea that if there's one, that's one too many.
00:06:48Mom, 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.
00:07:02Welcome to our home.
00:07:05Yeah, our casa is your casa.
00:07:09Mm.
00:07:10Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:14Mom, come on.
00:07:16Be nice.
00:07:18Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23Uh, you're welcome.
00:07:25We're happy to have you.
00:07:26Yeah, we are happy to have you, Mom.
00:07:28Let's sit down.
00:07:29Mm, isn'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 are you doing?
00:07:47Just 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, 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, all right.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:10So it's...
00:08:11It's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:17Well, 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?
00:08:33Um, uh, 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,
00:09:01you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:05I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:08Oh, no, of course not.
00:09:10I'm just kidding.
00:09:13So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:17Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was, you know, the one who suggested that we do it on the
00:09:22spot.
00:09:24Was the wedding nice, or what?
00:09:27Because 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.
00:09:48Mm.
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.
00:09:59Mm.
00:10:06Uh, 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?
00:10:16Kristen, just say it.
00:10:18Did your mother say anything to you about me?
00:10:21It was just that she was thankful that you opened up your home to her.
00:10:27Really?
00:10:27She said that?
00:10:30I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much, and I have no idea what
00:10:33I did wrong.
00:10:33Okay, I don't...
00:10:34What 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?
00:10:46Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart, and it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you.
00:10:55And see what you're made of.
00:10:57Great, I got an F on the first day.
00:10:59Look at me.
00:11:01Relax, okay?
00:11:03I 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.
00:11:39What 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.
00:12:21Oh, please, 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.
00:12:32I'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.
00:12:43You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:48Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:52James's mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so you have someone new living in your house.
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?
00:13:10I don't know, just the way that she looks at me, you know, 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.
00:13:30Well, 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.
00:13:43You know, I mean, I haven't had any nightmares the past few months.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business without looking in every direction
00:13:54for some guy creeping up behind me, and I don't know, I can just grieve, 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.
00:14:11That's terrifying.
00:14:16I know, I know, I just, um, I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:24Lots 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, and, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:50I actually got up into a bit of an outfit.
00:14:52Oh, okay.
00:14:53All right.
00:14:53Got to be careful of him if you're watching.
00:14:56I don't want.
00:14:58Hey, girly.
00:14:59Hey, what's up, kid?
00:15:01I'm just waiting for Michael to come pick me up.
00:15:03We're going to 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.
00:15:14And 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.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Where is Kristen anyway?
00:15:56She is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You got to be kidding me.
00:16:01You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off.
00:16:08Therapy.
00:16:08It'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?
00:16:20And 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.
00:16:27Hey, 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've got to lean in if I'm going to tell you.
00:16:41Bop!
00:16:43Oh.
00:16:46You're a strange one, Maggie.
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:48Always have been.
00:16:50Always will be.
00:16:51Hey, come on, Michael.
00:16:52Let's go.
00:16:54Jeez.
00:16:55You two have fun.
00:16:59Bring me back some cheesecake.
00:17:06So, Maggie, she'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 fun.
00:17:15How's your mom been holding up with the new house guests anyways?
00:17:18She's struggling.
00:17:19And I can tell, too.
00:17:21And she was doing so well after everything that happened.
00:17:23I think the last thing she needs is this lady picking at her and making her crazy.
00:17:26And she's like, yeah.
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 the 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...
00:18:10I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:13You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:19Well, yeah.
00:18:21Well, how close did the guy get to you? Was he, like, a car in the room?
00:18:25No, no, not that close.
00:18:27I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:31But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:35Yeah, you're, uh...
00:18:38You're making valid points.
00:18:40Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:58This is Kristen.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:06Hello?
00:19:29Who is this?
00:19:43Stop calling me!
00:19:44Wow.
00:19:45Well, hello to you, too.
00:19:47Hi, James.
00:19:49Is, uh, is everything okay?
00:19:51Yeah, yeah.
00:19:52I just...
00:19:52I kept getting this unknown number,
00:19:55and then when I answered, no one was there, and...
00:19:58You know what?
00:19:59Uh, never mind.
00:20:00Everything's fine.
00:20:02Good.
00:20:03Well, uh, 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.
00:20:14Um, uh, soon.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:17See you soon.
00:20:18Bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:23Bye.
00:20:23Bye.
00:20:24Bye.
00:20:25Bye.
00:20:27Bye.
00:20:38You can't be serious.
00:20:39It's not gonna 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 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.
00:21:04Oh.
00:21:05I'm sorry.
00:21:06I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea.
00:21:10Okay.
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.
00:21:22Oh.
00:21:23Calling her all the time.
00:21:25Following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:27He was popping up at places
00:21:28that she didn't even know she was gonna be.
00:21:31I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:34Jesus.
00:21:34You never talked about it much.
00:21:36I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:39Frightening?
00:21:42The dude broke into our house
00:21:45and
00:21:47that's the night that
00:21:48she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:51Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most,
00:21:55I was at some stupid house party
00:21:56playing beer pong.
00:21:58You know,
00:21:59if I would have been there,
00:22:00who knows?
00:22:01Maybe I could have helped her keep it together.
00:22:04Mara,
00:22:05you 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.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20Don't remind me.
00:22:22Look,
00:22:22it's just gonna 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,
00:22:39was she,
00:22:40like,
00:22:41committed?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Briefly.
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.
00:22:51Well,
00:22:52it's a good thing she has a daughter like you then.
00:22:55James was a really big help too.
00:22:57Huh.
00:22:58Yeah,
00:22:58I like James.
00:23:00Me too.
00:23:01I don't know,
00:23:02there's always something
00:23:03different 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 in my mom's life.
00:23:16Hey,
00:23:16Maggie.
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.
00:23:42I,
00:23:45I,
00:23:45I guess I just met,
00:23:46and how's it going?
00:23:49What did you say the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:54And,
00:23:55how many people usually play it at one time?
00:23:58Just,
00:23:59just one.
00:24:01Huh.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:04Hmm.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08I'm not really sure.
00:24:09Uh,
00:24:10he's
00:24:11doing some errands or something.
00:24:17What's wrong?
00:24:18You're looking a little frantic.
00:24:21No,
00:24:21I'm fine.
00:24:22It's just,
00:24:22uh,
00:24:31what's the matter?
00:24:32You're not gonna answer it?
00:24:37Hello?
00:24:42Hello?
00:24:50No 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 rushing off to?
00:25:06I saw you!
00:25:09I saw you!
00:25:12I saw you!
00:25:13I saw you!
00:25:16Hey mom,
00:25:17what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even touched your food.
00:25:21Oh,
00:25:21yeah,
00:25:22don't mind me.
00:25:22I'm just a,
00:25:23a little stressed out for some reason tonight.
00:25:26There's nothing wrong with that.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28No,
00:25:29of course not.
00:25:30Are you,
00:25:32are you getting any more of those,
00:25:33those calls that we were talking about today?
00:25:37Are you?
00:25:40You know I did.
00:25:42What calls are they talking about?
00:25:45I get unknown callers all 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 super dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:52Yeah,
00:25:53I mean,
00:25:54it could be.
00:25:55Except,
00:25:55you know,
00:25:55a major part of telemarketing is 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,
00:26:03if it's nothing,
00:26:04why did your lovely new bride race out into the backyard afterwards?
00:26:07It's like her pants were on flipping fire.
00:26:10Mom,
00:26:11you did?
00:26:13You did that,
00:26:14babe?
00:26:15Why?
00:26:16I,
00:26:17I thought I saw 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 have something to do with your breakdown last year?
00:26:36James told me that you came close to losing your marbles.
00:26:41I,
00:26:42I did not,
00:26:43I did not say that.
00:26:44Mom,
00:26:44would you please be interested 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.
00:26:53Well,
00:26:53you could be a little nicer.
00:26:55And I could be from Kalamazoo,
00:26:57but I'm not.
00:26:58I am who I am.
00:27:01One of the great benefits of getting to know each other,
00:27:04and believe me,
00:27:04there aren't many,
00:27:06is being able to say that and know for sure that it's 100% true.
00:27:13Look,
00:27:15I'm sorry.
00:27:17I didn't come here to be anyone's thorn.
00:27:21So if you want me to leave,
00:27:23I will.
00:27:28No,
00:27:29no,
00:27:29Maggie,
00:27:30I,
00:27:31I,
00:27:32I wouldn't have that.
00:27:33Hey,
00:27:34we're,
00:27:35we're family now.
00:27:36Hey.
00:27:39Do I have the greatest wife or what?
00:27:45Oh,
00:27:46you know,
00:27:46will you guys excuse me?
00:27:47Mom?
00:27:48No,
00:27:48I'm fine.
00:27:49I just need to get some fresh air.
00:27:51Do you want me to go?
00:27:52No,
00:27:52no,
00:27:52you guys,
00:27:53just relax.
00:27:56I don't really blame her.
00:28:00It's a nice night out there.
00:28:18Hey,
00:28:19hey.
00:28:20Hey.
00:28:21Maggie,
00:28:22she's,
00:28:23uh,
00:28:24she's sick.
00:28:25Mara,
00:28:25we should be pitying her,
00:28:26not judging her.
00:28:28Well,
00:28:29we're not the one licking down our noses.
00:28:33Look,
00:28:33mom,
00:28:33I know,
00:28:34I know that I keep asking you this,
00:28:35but are you okay?
00:28:38Yeah,
00:28:38don't worry about me.
00:28:40That's not an answer.
00:28:42Okay,
00:28:43well,
00:28:43you know,
00:28:43for you it is.
00:28:46Look,
00:28:46I know I'm the reason that you put off your move with Michael.
00:28:49Mom.
00:28:49No,
00:28:50Mara,
00:28:50I don't want you putting your life on hold for me.
00:28:52Well,
00:28:53you know,
00:28:54I don't want you back in that place.
00:29:00What do you say we,
00:29:01go inside and show me some yellow little song?
00:29:03You want me to,
00:29:04you know,
00:29:05still cool as they chill out?
00:29:06No.
00:29:07No.
00:29:08But I can show you how to do that.
00:29:10Good.
00:29:11Show me some cool words, too.
00:29:25Oh,
00:29:26hey.
00:29:27Listen,
00:29:28I wanted to thank you for making the John handicap 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 a little bit more kindness around here.
00:29:42Okay?
00:29:44And,
00:29:45as far as the bathroom upgrade goes,
00:29:47you can thank your son for that.
00:29:49Yeah,
00:29:50but I'm talking to you.
00:29:52And it seems like you have something to say.
00:29:56Is it about your mother?
00:30:00Maggie,
00:30:00my mom has done nothing but show kindness to you,
00:30:03including giving you a room,
00:30:05a board.
00:30:06And,
00:30:07you know,
00:30:08I see her trying to make it work.
00:30:11she's not tough like you.
00:30:13And you see that,
00:30:14so I'm just,
00:30:16honestly,
00:30:16I'm really not sure
00:30:17why you have to make it so hard on her.
00:30:20Well,
00:30:20you call it hard.
00:30:22I call it helpful.
00:30:25The worst thing you can do
00:30:27is indulge someone's fantasies
00:30:28when
00:30:30they're not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:34You think she's enjoying this?
00:30:37Well,
00:30:37there you go,
00:30:38using the dirty definition.
00:30:40But 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,
00:30:51I'm saying that's a good thing she's seeing a head doctor.
00:30:55Just saying.
00:30:58Look,
00:31:00I'm sorry,
00:31:01okay?
00:31:02I know how I can come off sometimes.
00:31:06But,
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,
00:31:16is
00:31:17kind of how I feel about my son.
00:31:20And I might not be around
00:31:22very much longer.
00:31:25In fact,
00:31:25it could be sooner than later.
00:31:28So I,
00:31:30I guess I'm,
00:31:32I'm just trying to make sure
00:31:34that she can do
00:31:36what needs to be done
00:31:37before I'm gone.
00:31:39I get it.
00:31:40I do.
00:31:41It's just,
00:31:42it's a lot.
00:31:43Yeah,
00:31:44so is a mother's love.
00:31:53Well,
00:31:55it's time for me to get to bed.
00:31:58You have a nice night now.
00:32:01Okay?
00:32:02Night.
00:32:15It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:16It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:18It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:24It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:29It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:32It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:32It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:32It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:34It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:37It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:38It's time for me to get to bed.
00:32:53It's me, it's me.
00:32:55You should have a bad dream.
00:32:58Okay.
00:32:59A bad dream.
00:33:01Come here, come here.
00:33:04Oh, God.
00:33:05I'm so sorry.
00:33:09I'm so sorry.
00:33:37I'm so sorry.
00:33:40There you go.
00:33:42You look exhausted.
00:33:44Thanks, Steve.
00:33:45That was the look I was going for.
00:33:48Did Rebecca Palmer confirm for this morning?
00:33:51She should be here in a few minutes.
00:33:53Great.
00:33:54Just enough time to get caffeinated.
00:33:55Let me know when she arrives, Lee.
00:33:57Sure thing.
00:33:58Oh, hey.
00:33:59I just spoke with the building manager.
00:34:01Oh, what do you say?
00:34:02Basically, he said he follows all the protocols in the book.
00:34:05But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint, you're more than welcome.
00:34:09No, that's okay.
00:34:11I feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.
00:34:13So, let's just put it behind us.
00:34:15Sounds good to me.
00:34:34Hey, Steve.
00:34:36Yeah?
00:34:38Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:40Um, not that I know of.
00:34:43Why?
00:35:01Yes?
00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's here.
00:35:04Uh, thanks.
00:35:08You okay?
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:11Can you, uh, show her in, please?
00:35:14All right.
00:35:15It's great to see you.
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.
00:35:26Well, uh, let me start with...
00:35:31Sorry, I should have this on silent.
00:35:33Yes, you should.
00:35:36It's been a bit hectic.
00:35:37My mother-in-law's been staying with us.
00:35:40Looks like someone really wants to talk to you.
00:35:45Hmm.
00:35:45Apparently.
00:35:50Okay.
00:35:50Uh, okay.
00:35:51So, um, were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:55Yes, I did.
00:35:57I-I-I emailed that to you three days ago.
00:35:59Right.
00:36:00Yes, of course you did.
00:36:05And maybe this is a bad time.
00:36:07No.
00:36:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:36:09I'm...
00:36:12Oh, my God.
00:36:15What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm-I'm sorry.
00:36:18Rebecca, will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:21Okay.
00:36:36By the time I came back into my office, the client was already gone.
00:36:40Oh, God, what am I saying?
00:36:41She's probably an ex-client by now.
00:36:42Well, I'm sorry that-that happened, Kristen, but, uh, the second stalker, don't you think
00:36:49that's unlikely, based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice?
00:36:55Lucky me, you know, two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women.
00:36:59Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:37:01Now, start from the beginning.
00:37:02Now, you received some calls from an unknown number, and no one was talking back to you.
00:37:07Right, and-and-and then there was somebody who was following me in the parking lot at
00:37:11work, and-and then outside of my house.
00:37:15And now you've received a rose, you said, that 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.
00:37:27Oh, damn it.
00:37:28What?
00:37:29I forgot.
00:37:30I was just freaked out when I saw the message.
00:37:31I deleted it.
00:37:32That's okay.
00:37:33Oh, God.
00:37:34I feel like I'm losing it again.
00:37:36Easy.
00:37:36Easy.
00:37:37Now, last time we sat down, you said you were under extra pressure at home from your
00:37:42mother-in-law moving in.
00:37:45Maggie.
00:37:46You take it?
00:37:47Well, that's not going well.
00:37:48I mean, I get that she's sick, you know, and so I'm trying to just roll with it, but
00:37:54she is relentless in her passive, not-so-passive aggression towards me.
00:38:00And the timing on it all, it couldn't be more worse with this new situation.
00:38:07Do you think I'm going crazy again?
00:38:09A, you didn't last time, and I don't like that word.
00:38:12And B, no, but I think you're pushed pretty close to your limit right now.
00:38:18Now, how have you been sleeping?
00:38:21Not great.
00:38:22Not great.
00:38:22So you're tired.
00:38:23Your brain is playing little tricks on you, and those phone calls, those could be legitimate
00:38:28wrong numbers.
00:38:30Yeah.
00:38:30And then the text that I can show you.
00:38:33And the roles, that could be James trying to surprise you, or, you know what, you could
00:38:38have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach out.
00:38:41But, um, nothing wrong with being extra cautious.
00:38:44These things keep happening.
00:38:46You call me, or call the police.
00:38:49So, Dr. Liz, you think I could have a stalker again?
00:39:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:39:27Wow, look at you out here.
00:39:31What's next?
00:39:32You going to clean out the gutters?
00:39:33Put a fresh coat of paint on the house?
00:39:35Yeah, I mean, that's me, Mr. Suburbia.
00:39:39Actually, I'm glad that you're here, and I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:43I'm concerned about your mother.
00:39:47Yeah, me too.
00:39:49That's actually why I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:51Oh, good.
00:39:52I mean, to me, it seems like she's kind of losing it a little, you know, mentally.
00:39:58Yeah.
00:39:59I see it, too.
00:40:01Is this how she acted the last time with her breakdown?
00:40:06Yeah, I guess.
00:40:09To be honest, I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time, you know,
00:40:14because I wasn't expecting it, but I am now.
00:40:17What about this stalker?
00:40:19I mean, do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy?
00:40:23I think that she believes it, and, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot mentally.
00:40:31You don't have to talk to Maggie, James.
00:40:32She's making it worse.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35My 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,
00:40:44look, if you can't control Maggie,
00:40:47I'm going to have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house.
00:40:50I know.
00:40:51I know it sounds harsh, but...
00:40:54I get it.
00:40:57Your mom's mental health is more important.
00:41:00Yeah, good.
00:41:02Great.
00:41:03Yeah.
00:41:03I'm glad we're on the same page with that.
00:41:06100%.
00:41:06Oh, man.
00:41:08Come on.
00:41:09We love you, James.
00:41:11I don't know if I ever really thanked you for making my mom so happy.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Well, uh, I'll let you get back to it.
00:41:23Oh, you missed a spot.
00:41:28Good night.
00:41:35Do we have a problem?
00:41:43It's time we go for a ride.
00:41:45I had a feeling.
00:42:01So you and the girls seem chummier than ever.
00:42:04And when I see you with the mother,
00:42:06I 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.
00:42:18This place is empty.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21He's supposed to be meeting us here.
00:42:23Hey.
00:42:25Back here.
00:42:28So I had to start drinking.
00:42:31You know, trailing soccer moms all day.
00:42:33It's thirsty business.
00:42:35We didn't come here to drink with you, Max.
00:42:40What are you still doing with that stupid walker?
00:42:43Because you idiot.
00:42:47I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now, can I?
00:42:54Yeah, yeah.
00:42:56You 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.
00:43:03Even when I'm acting like a raging bitch.
00:43:06Well, why don't you just kill her with kindness?
00:43:08Because we're supposed to be gaslighting her.
00:43:11It's a delicate act of balance.
00:43:14See, how it works is,
00:43:18somebody, me,
00:43:19puts a target on their heels as much as possible.
00:43:22While someone else, him.
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:27I hold their hand,
00:43:29look them in the eye,
00:43:31and I say,
00:43:33everything's gonna be all right, baby.
00:43:36Ooh.
00:43:37Get some spinning real good.
00:43:40Well, and then someone else comes along,
00:43:42me,
00:43:43and
00:43:46pushes 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.
00:43:54Ah, guilty as charged.
00:43:56Okay, okay.
00:43:58So I get it.
00:43:59The good con,
00:44:00bad con,
00:44:01I get that whole thing.
00:44:03Why this lady?
00:44:04I came across this blog she wrote
00:44:07about her nervous breakdown last year.
00:44:11Some 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.
00:44:28Won't take long,
00:44:28we'll have it transferred
00:44:29to an offshore account in the Caribbean.
00:44:32And what about the lady's daughter?
00:44:35Yeah,
00:44:35that's why we're here.
00:44:37The little brat is 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
00:44:46she'll be successful.
00:44:49So,
00:44:50we gotta do this thing
00:44:52tonight.
00:44:54Right, son?
00:44:56Right, Mom.
00:45:06Mom,
00:45:06yoga's supposed to relax you.
00:45:08Not stress you out more.
00:45:12Honey,
00:45:13you and Michael are supposed to be
00:45:14leaving for LA next week.
00:45:16The move has been pushed back
00:45:17a few months,
00:45:18that's all.
00:45:18No,
00:45:18you mean your life is 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 of changes
00:45:24around 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 do anything
00:45:35to 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.
00:45:55Looks a little light.
00:45:57I told you the deal
00:45:58when I hired you.
00:46:00You get the rest
00:46:02when we all get ours.
00:46:13Fine.
00:46:13I don't want to be there tonight
00:46:15when it all goes down
00:46:16because 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
00:46:24the layout 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 pushing
00:46:31that flippin' walker
00:46:32for my health either.
00:46:34I need to push
00:46:36this snowflake
00:46:37over the edge
00:46:38tonight.
00:46:40And she cannot know
00:46:42that I am physically
00:46:44capable of it.
00:46:46So,
00:46:47you can't be anywhere
00:46:48near the house.
00:46:50In fact,
00:46:51I don't even want you
00:46:53in the same state.
00:46:56Okay.
00:46:58then I'm gonna need
00:46:59some more money
00:47:01up front.
00:47:02Not this
00:47:02when and if
00:47:04thing
00:47:05I'm talking about
00:47:06right now.
00:47:10You 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?
00:47:27What?
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.
00:47:39Okay, 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.
00:47:55Dynamite.
00:48:00So,
00:48:01you two.
00:48:02You two ain't
00:48:03angry at me,
00:48:03right?
00:48:04Of course not,
00:48:05Max.
00:48:06Good,
00:48:07because you do
00:48:07the same,
00:48:07you and me,
00:48:08right?
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,
00:48:13we have to be.
00:48:14and we have to be..
00:48:44I don't know.
00:49:20I don't know.
00:49:22I don't know.
00:49:41Hey, you lovebirds.
00:49:45I'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.
00:50:15I'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.
00:50:26Night, Maggie.
00:50:31Okay.
00:50:39Okay.
00:50:47Okay.
00:50:51Okay.
00:50:53Okay.
00:51:12Okay.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:40Let's go.
00:52:14Oh, my God.
00:52:42Yeah, Mom's all settled in...
00:52:47I can't believe your mom was actually nice to me tonight.
00:52:51I told you.
00:52:53She really likes you.
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.
00:53:17Good night, baby.
00:53:20Sweet dreams.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:38Sweet dreams.

00:58:20Hey.
00:58:21for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital even for a few days it
00:58:25was a close call I know she needs a lot of help Denise I know well she's gonna
00:58:31be evaluated again next week by the state but I'm feeling pretty confident we
00:58:35should get her home by the end of the month from your mouth the God's ears
00:58:39actually from your mouth you're the one that talks him through these things I
00:58:42just give him a place to stay and bless you for that oh um so I gotta go yeah
00:58:50I'll check with you later hi damn it will you calm down calm down where did this
00:58:59halfway house for crazies come from and they were supposed to to commit her yeah
00:59:04and you are the one that said they would do that oh damn it all right I said we
00:59:09find a way to take her out while she's there you're the husband you should get
00:59:13the money we are crooks we're not murderers and sometimes we do both or did I
00:59:19just dream about what happened at that bar mr. stabby that was necessary this is
00:59:25not I'm sorry I have to ask but this the second stalker you think this is like a
00:59:31real thing I don't know but they can't find any evidence of someone breaking in
00:59:36we're leaving the house so all I know is that my mom was doing a lot better
00:59:40before Maggie got here the timing of all this it could be coincidental but what do you
00:59:45have any pictures of James and his mother actually yeah I do oh text her to me will you yeah
01:00:08you know you got me confused again one more time did you come into this woman's life to love her
01:00:15or to rob her or to rob her don't worry about me I'm a pro okay but we do not
01:00:22need to hurt these
01:00:23people let's say that I agree with you there are too many other people in that support house we
01:00:28don't even know the floor plan all right fine but if I see you siding with them instead of us
01:00:36all bets are off all right big shot so what in the hell do we do now we wait till
01:00:43she comes back
01:00:44here and we turn up the gas damn it you gotta be kidding me and what do we do with
01:00:51Mara in the
01:00:51meantime I don't know maybe it's time that we try Max's kill him with kindness routine

01:01:48text me the pics I'll get right on it
01:02:06may be dangerous or even life-threatening family history may increase likelihood
01:02:11in some cases a combination of medications can work better anyone with this disease will need
01:02:16lifelong insulin therapy
01:02:49so
01:03:43You 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, girly. You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:58Tinkle. It's funny. I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:13You 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.
01:04:20Thank 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.
01:04:45Yeah. Speaking of mothers.
01:04:47Good luck in there.
01:04:56You must be Mara.
01:04:58Cheryl.
01:04:58Come on in. How'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.
01:05:09Something tells me she'll be really happy to see you.
01:05:11Oh. Kristen, you have a visitor.
01:05:15Hi, 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.
01:05:23Honey, 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.
01:05:39What? Yeah.
01:05:41Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:49I 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, I couldn't. And so I figured I would just,
01:06:03like, go online. And I, I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:08So I went downstairs. And I, and I saw that the door was open. So I, I, I called 911.
01:06:16And 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
01:06:31me, 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
01:06:38Maggie?
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 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. Okay, 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?
01:07:14Mom, I said I love you. I love you.
01:07:26Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:29Yeah. It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:32Come on, let's get out of here.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:55Come on, a little faster, please.
01:08:04I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:10Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:12Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right by me.
01:08:36So what happened?
01:08:39Well, 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.
01:08:52She 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
01:08:59totally hysterical.
01:09:00There was nothing I could do.
01:09:02And you? You just... You slept through the whole thing?
01:09:06Oh. Well, same as you, dear. I always sleep like a log.
01:09:12I don't. Ever.
01:09:14Sure. But I guess the insulin helps you sleep. Because you take it every day, right?
01:09:19That's right.
01:09:21I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:23Oh. Well, you think I poke myself in the living room between commercial breaks on the TV?
01:09:32No. I do it in my room alone.
01:09:38I went to see her today.
01:09:40I know.
01:09:41How do you know?
01:09:42Well, because I called the recovery house.
01:09:45I spoke to this very nice woman, um, Cheryl. Is her name?
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
01:09:57I 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.
01:10:11Yeah, 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.
01:10:19I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:10:22Hmm.
01:10:23Really?
01:10:24Pushing her a little here.
01:10:26Pushing her a little there.
01:10:27Making 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.
01:10:38Flipping kids these days, I swear.
01:10:42Hey, what happened to having some respect for your elders?
01:10:47You 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.
01:11:06So how do you think this is going?
01:11:08Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:11:47Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:11Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:11Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:23Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:27Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:28Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:29Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:32Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:33Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:35Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:37Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:37Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:38Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:38Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:12:38I don't know.
01:13:11Hey, Ross. Getting back to you on that photo. Names you gave me don't match the ones I found. And
01:13:16it gets worse. Both have been arrested in the past, separately, for running cons down south. Give me a call
01:13:21back. I'll tell you what I know.
01:13:28This is Denise Lewis. I can't take your call right now. Leave me a message and I'll get back to
01:13:33you just as soon as I can. If it's an emergency, call 911.
01:13:38Denise, here's your emergency. My deep dive guy got back to me. Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who
01:13:46they say they are. They could be dangerous. So call me when you get this.
01:13:53Two questions. What are you doing in our house? And 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? Maybe you should ask him.
01:14:17So what is this now?
01:14:19This? This 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.
01:14:30Oh, damn it, Hulk.
01:14:35Izzy?
01:14:37Yeah. I had to. I had no choice.
01:14:39Well, what the hell are we going to do now?
01:14:41I don't know, Maggie. This is your plan.
01:14:44I know that.
01:14:46All right. What we need to do is we'll just...
01:14:48Oh, just shut up. Shut up.
01:14:51Okay. We pack our stuff and we...
01:14:55We get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:15:01Okay?
01:15:02Agreed.
01:15:03We're just lucky that little bitch isn't around right now.
01:15:33Get home safe, Phillip. I'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.
01:15:58Denise, hi. You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:01She's good.
01:16:02Keeping mostly turf south, but peaceful enough considering the last couple of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me.
01:16:07I got a message from my ex.
01:16:10This 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.
01:16:26Wait.
01:16:26What?
01:16:28Oh, my God.
01:16:37I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:59I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:17:10Yes, that will be fine.
01:17:14Are they both home?
01:17:16I think so.
01:17:18All right.
01:17:19So, let's go out 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.
01:17:25Well, 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.
01:17:31Oh.
01:18:00What's up, kid?
01:18:01Oh, God.
01:18:02God, I'll see you.
01:18:03Come on.
01:18:07Come on.
01:18:25I don't know.
01:18:51Where the hell are you? We'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.
01:19:09First of all, girly, that's not our names.
01:19:12And 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
01:19:38drinking margaritas 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.
01:19:53Oh, now look what you did.
01:19:55I'll get her.
01:19:55You idiot!
01:19:57I'll get her.
01:19:58I'll get her.
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.
01:20:45Michael, wake up.
01:20:46Michael, wake up.
01:20:46Michael, wake up.
01:20:46Michael, wake up.
01:20:47Michael, wake up.
01:20:48Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:51Stand 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.
01:21:10Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:18You fucking fool!
01:21:20Why didn't you do that?
01:21:22Screw 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.
01:21:43It's not her name.
01:21:44It's Jackie.
01:21:46Where's Jackie now?
01:21:48She left the house.
01:21:53Okay.
01:21:54Okay.
01:22:01I'm so glad you two are here.
01:22:03We are, too.
01:22:04Believe me.
01:22:05Yeah, we kind of need to get out of the house these days anyways.
01:22:08Mm-hmm.
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.
01:22:22Didn't you say I'm so sorry about your ex's passing?
01:22:24You mean his murder.
01:22:27Imagine how sorry you'd feel if he were the reason that he's dead.
01:22:31Come on, don't say that.
01:22:33I'm not.
01:22:33But it'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.
01:22:46I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?
01:22:52Okay, yes, Mara, he was.
01:22:54But 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 Ross's card, she's been arrested a few times, mostly for short-term cons with James and some with
01:23:12others.
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.
01:23:18I'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?
01:23:31It's enormous.
01:23:35You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:37Are you all right?
01:23:38Maybe I am.
01:23:40A little.
01:23:42I 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.
01:23:54Okay.
01:23:56Okay.
01:24:10Hi, 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.
01:24:39What did you do?
01:24:54You don't have to tell us.
01:24:55You don't have to tell us.
01:24:55You don't have to tell us.
01:24:55What do you do?
01:24:58I have to tell you.
01:25:13I don't know.
