00:01:42Tess?
00:01:47Tess?
00:01:53Sorry about that.
00:01:55Had to track down the combination to the safe to get these out.
00:01:57You are on some very special medication, my dear.
00:02:00I'm sorry about the bother.
00:02:01Oh, please, honey.
00:02:03It's no bother.
00:02:03It's your health.
00:02:05Okay, so these are going to get you through to your next appointment, plus a few extra
00:02:09for safety.
00:02:10Remember, you have to take one every four hours, even at night.
00:02:14You have your alarm set?
00:02:16Yes, ma'am.
00:02:17Good.
00:02:17The more diligent you can be, the better the odds you keep baby in there until your due
00:02:21date.
00:02:22Understood.
00:02:23Don't worry.
00:02:24My dad had to pull a million strings with his business buddies to get me into this trial.
00:02:29He reminds me every chance he gets.
00:02:31Good.
00:02:31You're lucky, you know.
00:02:32We charge insurance $750 a pop for these little guys.
00:02:37He reminds me of that, too.
00:03:04Oh, hey, so sue me.
00:03:05It's stressful staying at the house.
00:03:08Okay, fine.
00:03:10Next time, I'll stay with you.
00:03:12I promise.
00:03:15My next appointment's at the same time, two weeks from now.
00:03:18Mm-hmm.
00:03:19Are you writing it down?
00:03:21Okay.
00:03:21And can you let Dad know, so maybe he'll show up for a meal sometime?
00:03:25Hey.
00:03:27You beg.
00:03:31All right.
00:03:32Okay, Mom, I gotta go.
00:03:33I'm getting on the bus.
00:03:35Oh, my God.
00:03:36Please, stop.
00:03:38Buses are not plebeian.
00:03:41You can be here first sometimes.
00:03:43All right.
00:03:44I love you.
00:04:00I got it.
00:04:08Is this seat taken?
00:04:11It is now.
00:04:23It is now.
00:04:25So do you not like scenery, or do you just want to be left alone?
00:04:29Oh, neither.
00:04:30I just wanted easy bathroom access.
00:04:35I like your gloves.
00:04:37I had elbow-length gloves for my wedding, and I love them.
00:04:41And now they just sit in my top drawer, bumming me out because I never get to wear them.
00:04:45Um, I'm a germaphobe, so.
00:04:49I'm sorry.
00:04:50That must be hard.
00:04:52No.
00:04:53It's not so bad.
00:04:55Get to wear nice gloves.
00:05:16walk the way through.
00:05:20I don't know.
00:05:21I don't know.
00:05:21I'm sorry.
00:05:22But I think it's okay.
00:05:23I don't know.
00:05:23I don't know.
00:05:24It's okay.
00:05:26It's okay.
00:05:35Sorry.
00:05:36I agree.
00:05:37He actually just finished two bottles.
00:05:39I just need to...
00:05:40Bottles?
00:05:41You're not breastfeeding?
00:05:43No, I am not.
00:05:45I don't know.
00:05:46You know, breastfeeding is the best gift that you can give a child.
00:05:49That's great, but...
00:05:51My children were all very good travelers.
00:05:53Never made a peep.
00:05:54Okay.
00:05:55Excuse me, ma'am.
00:05:56Yes?
00:05:56Hi.
00:05:57Could you maybe just give her a break?
00:05:59Excuse me, I'm only trying to help.
00:06:01I'm sure you are, but this lady is obviously doing her best.
00:06:05Okay?
00:06:08Oh.
00:06:24Your wedding sounds like a real fairytale.
00:06:27Well, my dress did have a full princess skirt.
00:06:31Princess skirt for the princess.
00:06:34My cousin also threw up on the buffet, so...
00:06:39Where'd you have it?
00:06:41Here in the city.
00:06:42The Marriott.
00:06:47My dad had a connection.
00:06:52He's a lawyer.
00:06:53He knows everybody.
00:06:56Does he live up here?
00:06:58Yeah.
00:06:58Mom and dad.
00:06:59And you?
00:07:01I am way down at the end of the line in this little town called Boone.
00:07:05Oh.
00:07:07That's my stop.
00:07:08Oh, yeah?
00:07:09Do you live there, too?
00:07:11Just passing through?
00:07:13Oh, well, I guess only like six people live in Boone.
00:07:18Not really.
00:07:19I mean, it is small.
00:07:21I think it just feels extra small because we're new.
00:07:23We don't know anyone.
00:07:25You and your fairytale prince.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28Right.
00:07:29Jack.
00:07:31Jack.
00:07:31He's on the road three days a week.
00:07:33Sometimes more.
00:07:34So it doesn't really matter where we live.
00:07:36He picked a spot where we can get the best bang for our buck.
00:07:41He picked.
00:07:44Oh, no.
00:07:45Well, I guess Boone was his idea.
00:07:49But I do like it.
00:07:51My big thing is I just wanted to get out of here.
00:07:54Of course, I was thinking more like Chicago or Denver or someplace that doesn't add to
00:07:58two hours to your travel time just to get to the airport.
00:08:01But it is nice to have our own place.
00:08:04Are you visiting your parents?
00:08:07No, not this time.
00:08:09I've got this dumb condition that makes my placenta really thin.
00:08:14I'm sorry.
00:08:15Is that too much information?
00:08:16No.
00:08:17Not at all.
00:08:17I haven't taught her.
00:08:18Oh, yeah?
00:08:19How old?
00:08:21Uh, she's 11.
00:08:23Well, that's a fun age.
00:08:25She's just discovering herself, figuring out what she wants to be.
00:08:28So you were saying about your placenta?
00:08:32Right.
00:08:33Um, I'm at risk of my placenta tearing and little Kruger here coming way too early.
00:08:40So I have to come up every two weeks and get a checkup and get this trial medication that I'm
00:08:45on.
00:08:46Supposed to, I don't know, like thicken me up.
00:08:51Kruger?
00:08:53Um, we're not finding out the gender beforehand.
00:08:58And we needed a temp name.
00:09:01Babies are always so ugly when they first come out.
00:09:03So I decided on Freddy Kruger.
00:09:08My husband hates it.
00:09:12Well, fuck him.
00:09:17That's what got me into this mess.
00:09:24Oh, okay.
00:09:25Kruger just sat on my bladder.
00:09:27Excuse me.
00:09:43Nice to have you ,
00:09:44for a call deep人 applied to me.
00:09:44Oh my God, .
00:09:48Oh, look.
00:10:01Oh, well, I can smell anything.
00:10:02Oh, that's brokenness.
00:10:02Oh, well, I got married people with the np.
00:10:02Whoa whoa, whoa, yeah.
00:10:02Yeah, so I made my maid.
00:10:34Boom, end of the line.
00:10:56Hi, I'm not sure what you do when someone falls asleep, but she's a germaphobe, so go easy.
00:11:39Hey.
00:11:40Hi.
00:11:41Uh, I'm just heading into a meeting.
00:11:44Oh sorry, I just wanted to let you know that I got home safe.
00:11:47Already?
00:11:48I thought you were-
00:11:49Mom said Dad had some work things come up so we didn't do brunch, which is fine by me.
00:11:54Tess, you know I might need another investment from him.
00:11:58We need to put in some more face time.
00:12:01Yeah, I know.
00:12:02Maybe next trip you stay with them.
00:12:05Yeah, maybe.
00:12:06Hi.
00:12:07You took the bus, right?
00:12:09Yes, although I think I'd be just fine driving.
00:12:12Tess, you almost fainted.
00:12:15Yeah, when I was in peak morning sickness and it was a million degrees outside.
00:12:19And I wasn't even driving.
00:12:21Okay.
00:12:22Is our baby's life really worth the risk?
00:12:26Of course not.
00:12:28The doctor was good.
00:12:31Oh, good.
00:12:33Shit, look, I really have to run, babe.
00:12:35This is kind of a big meeting.
00:12:37Oh yeah?
00:12:37With who?
00:12:38You know, just people, sales stuff, it's boring.
00:12:42Try me.
00:12:44I'm so sorry, babe.
00:12:45Look, I really have to run.
00:12:46Okay, you'll be home tonight?
00:12:49Where else?
00:12:50Good.
00:12:51I'll give you a call or you call me after 11.
00:12:5511?
00:12:55Yeah, and if I don't pick up, just try me in the morning.
00:12:58Okay?
00:12:58I love you.
00:12:59I gotta run.
00:13:24Jesus, why do I pack so much crap?
00:13:41Oh, almost time to feed your life sack.
00:13:45Gotta thicken those walls.
00:13:47Alright, where did mommy stick those pills?
00:14:10Well, hi there.
00:14:12What are you doing here?
00:14:13I've got my bag.
00:14:14What?
00:14:15My bag.
00:14:18Oh my gosh, did we?
00:14:20I'm so sorry.
00:14:21I just grabbed the first black one that I saw.
00:14:23I guess item's my shift.
00:14:25Right, it's not a problem.
00:14:26I just need it back.
00:14:27Of course, come in.
00:14:28No, we can just...
00:14:29Oh no.
00:14:30Look at you, you need a breather.
00:14:31Oh no, I'm okay.
00:14:32Please, just for a minute.
00:14:37Yeah, just for a minute.
00:14:39Good.
00:14:40Please sit down.
00:14:47You know, I tried waking you up on the bus, but you weren't really out.
00:14:52Um, I had a late night.
00:14:55Ugh, that must be nice.
00:14:57I don't remember the last time I had a late anything.
00:15:00Again, so sorry about the mix-up.
00:15:02I don't know why I didn't double check.
00:15:04It's fine.
00:15:05No harm, right?
00:15:09This is your family?
00:15:11Yeah, mine and Jack's.
00:15:12Those ones are his side and these ones are mine.
00:15:16You segregate them?
00:15:19I mean, not intentionally.
00:15:21Everyone gets along.
00:15:22Mostly.
00:15:24So these are your parents?
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:27And they approve of your Prince Charming.
00:15:31He's good enough for their little princess.
00:15:33Uh, they get along pretty well.
00:15:36As far as spouses and in-laws go.
00:15:40I bet on your wedding day, your dad took the groom aside and told him that he'd kill him.
00:15:45Have he ever hurt you?
00:15:49Uh, I don't really know.
00:15:50If he did, he didn't tell me.
00:15:53What does he tell you?
00:15:54What do you mean?
00:15:56I just mean you look like, you know, daddy's little girl.
00:15:59But maybe you two share all of your secrets.
00:16:02Uh, no.
00:16:03Sorry.
00:16:04No secrets.
00:16:06I'm pretty boring.
00:16:08What about you?
00:16:09Uh, are you married?
00:16:13Um, no, it's just me and my little girl.
00:16:21She's sick.
00:16:23She has, uh, stage three leukemia and she's undergoing radiation right now.
00:16:28But she needs a stem cell transplant.
00:16:31And I can't afford it.
00:16:34I mean, Medicaid helps, but it's not enough.
00:16:41She's...
00:16:41She's lost all of her hair, nausea, insomnia.
00:16:46I'm so sorry.
00:16:48I...
00:16:49I can't even imagine.
00:16:51It's fine.
00:16:52Do you want some bourbon in that lemonade?
00:16:55No.
00:16:57Um, I should get going.
00:16:59Where's my bags?
00:17:00Maybe you just want to freshen up?
00:17:00I told you I'm okay.
00:17:02The bathroom at the bus station is an actual war zone.
00:17:08I do have to pee.
00:17:11It's just through there.
00:17:12I'll go get your bag.
00:17:12No, I can...
00:17:13I can get it.
00:17:14Oh, please.
00:17:14I got it all the way here, didn't I?
00:17:37Keep it together, you soft bitch.
00:17:53I don't know.
00:17:56Nail polish explosion?
00:18:01Hey, I'm so sorry, but it looks like...
00:18:07Looks like what?
00:18:15I...
00:18:15It looks like I'll...
00:18:16I'll need your help getting this down.
00:18:19After all.
00:18:20Yeah, I...
00:18:21I don't...
00:18:21I don't know what happened.
00:18:22Suddenly, I...
00:18:23Just got so dizzy.
00:18:24Hmm.
00:18:27Huh.
00:18:30Maybe you should get some rest, right?
00:18:34Yeah.
00:18:35Uh, that's...
00:18:36Totally.
00:18:42Totally.
00:18:59Honey?
00:19:04I wonder what made you so dizzy all of a sudden.
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:07It was weird.
00:19:08I...
00:19:09Must be hungry.
00:19:10Hmm.
00:19:19Or maybe it's because I'm a little late taking my meds.
00:19:23That's right.
00:19:24I hope you don't mind.
00:19:25I saw them in your suitcase when I thought it was mine.
00:19:28No, that's fine.
00:19:31Thanks for reminding me.
00:19:32I'm just really glad that they're not lost.
00:19:36Lose things often?
00:19:40All the time.
00:19:41Don't tell me.
00:19:43You'd lose your head if it wasn't attached, right?
00:19:47It was really nice meeting you.
00:19:53See ya, Tess.
00:19:56How did you...
00:19:58Uh, it was on your pill bottle.
00:20:01Tess McCarthy?
00:20:02It's a great name.
00:20:03Can't forget it.
00:20:06Thank you for the lemonade.
00:20:16Phone.
00:20:17Phone.
00:20:18Where is it?
00:20:19Okay.
00:20:21Phone.
00:20:25Where is it?
00:20:27Phone.
00:20:29Where the fuck is it?
00:20:34Do you have something?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:40Oh my god, I was freaking out.
00:20:42My husband would kill me if I lost that thing.
00:20:46Sounds like a real dick.
00:20:49He has his moments.
00:20:52You want to come out here and get it?
00:20:56You can just leave it there.
00:20:58Oh, just leave it right here?
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:04Thanks so much.
00:21:08Okay.
00:21:32Fuck!
00:21:40Of course, you had to open it, didn't you?
00:21:54Why don't you come out here?
00:22:01Come on, I'm not going to hurt you.
00:22:04Tess, we have some things to talk about.
00:22:10Tess, we have some things to talk about.
00:22:10Please go!
00:22:11Not until you come and talk to me.
00:22:13No!
00:22:16I'm not going anywhere, so...
00:22:19My husband will be home any minute.
00:22:24Actually, no, he won't.
00:22:25Yes, he will.
00:22:26I can wait you out.
00:22:32What about little Kruger?
00:22:36Can she wait?
00:22:42I'm not going anywhere.
00:22:46And that's not good for you.
00:23:03Look at you.
00:23:05You can barely lift that thing.
00:23:09Don't worry about me.
00:23:10They say moms can summon super strength if they need it.
00:23:16Yeah, that's after the baby is out.
00:23:38So, you opened it.
00:23:40You established that.
00:23:44Did you get a good look?
00:23:46No.
00:23:47Could you tell me his hair color, his eye color?
00:23:49No, honestly, no.
00:23:54Yeah, I just don't...
00:23:55I just don't see a way around this.
00:24:03I think you're going to have to help me destroy the thing.
00:24:09Help you what?
00:24:11Dispose of him.
00:24:12The head, the bag, the whole shebang.
00:24:15Then we're both responsible, right?
00:24:17No.
00:24:19Again, I really am sorry.
00:24:21I'm not helping you do anything.
00:24:24Yeah, you are.
00:24:26You don't really have a choice.
00:24:28What?
00:24:30Come on, it's not going to be that bad.
00:24:33Just leave.
00:24:34Please, God, just take that awful thing and go.
00:24:39You sure about that?
00:24:42You might want to think that one through.
00:24:44I mean, your fingerprints are all over it.
00:24:46The zipper, the handle.
00:24:47No.
00:24:50No.
00:24:51But, you know, I guess I could drop it at the bus station.
00:24:55Leave an anonymous tip for the cops.
00:24:58That could work, right?
00:25:04I really think we'd both be better off if we just destroy the thing.
00:25:09Call it a day.
00:25:11No evidence, no crime.
00:25:12You can go back to your fairytale life,
00:25:14and I will sail off into the sunset.
00:25:18Clean and simple.
00:25:21You're crazy.
00:25:24No.
00:25:25I'm being proactive.
00:25:27I won't help you.
00:25:29I'll kill you first.
00:25:31And what?
00:25:32Have two bodies to explain to the cops?
00:25:35Well, technically 1.1, a body and a head.
00:25:41Yeah.
00:25:43Yeah, I don't think so, princess.
00:25:51We have to do this.
00:25:56So what do we got?
00:25:59Forest.
00:26:00Lots of forest.
00:26:03Guess we could just burn it in your fireplace, but...
00:26:08No.
00:26:11Is there really an abandoned chemical factory at the end of this road?
00:26:16Are you sure you're not a secret serial killer?
00:26:19Because, like, this is super convenient.
00:26:24It's all boarded up.
00:26:26The security cameras.
00:26:27Guards.
00:26:28Huh?
00:26:31This chemical factory right here.
00:26:33It won't fall to wide open spaces and no people around.
00:26:38Come on, princess.
00:26:40One day at work won't kill you.
00:26:43I'm not a princess.
00:26:48Are you sure?
00:26:54Have you ever been scared?
00:26:59Felt a real moment of pain?
00:27:04Yes.
00:27:08You don't know what pain is.
00:27:14So, do you want to know who he is?
00:27:18No, please, God, I don't...
00:27:20Well, relax.
00:27:20I'm not going to give you his social security number.
00:27:22I mean, do you want to know who he was to me?
00:27:25How his head ended up in his suitcase?
00:27:33Well, you already know that I have a daughter.
00:27:37I didn't mean to let that one slip, but here we are.
00:27:43You know that I'm not married.
00:27:45But her father is.
00:27:47Or was, I guess.
00:27:51I knew, of course.
00:27:53But, oh, man, was he charming and powerful.
00:27:59And he'd walk into a room and everyone would just shut up.
00:28:04I guess I thought that was sexy when I was young and stupid.
00:28:10Anyway, a few months in...
00:28:14Knocked up.
00:28:20What happened?
00:28:23About what you'd expect.
00:28:27I had the baby.
00:28:30He offered me under the table child support if I promised not to tell his real family.
00:28:39Anyway, the payment started off regular, generous.
00:28:46Over the years, I just...
00:28:54Then came last night.

00:33:58No!
00:33:59No!
00:34:00No!
00:34:25Bullshit.
00:34:31You really think I'd make something like that up?
00:34:34You really expect me to believe that you cut off a man's head in self-defense?
00:34:40Yeah.
00:34:42I was worried the police would see it that way too.
00:34:50For the record, the first swing genuinely was self-defense.
00:34:59After that, I...
00:35:03So then what happened?
00:35:17No!
00:35:21No!
00:35:25No!
00:35:28No!
00:35:30No!
00:35:32Oh!
00:35:54Motherfucker!
00:35:57I'm gonna get caught
00:36:01They're gonna notice when you don't show up
00:36:06Okay, talk to me, asshole
00:36:08How would a psycho like you fix this?
00:36:41I'm gonna get caught
00:37:04Let's go.
00:38:10I need one seat on that bus.
00:38:32I got it.
00:38:47You bitch.
00:38:52Your plan to save your own ass was to pin a murder on a perfect stranger?
00:38:57Yeah.
00:38:59Sorry, I'm not bad.
00:39:00What's wrong with you?
00:39:05Well, you try killing the secret father of your child and see what kind of cover-up plan
00:39:09you come up with on no sleep.
00:39:13I know, it sounds bad.
00:39:15Okay, but you have to see where I'm coming from.
00:39:19Someone is going to notice that this man is missing and someone's going to figure out
00:39:23about the cash.
00:39:24The police are going to start knocking on doors and the only way that I could think of to
00:39:27keep them from mine was to give them someone else.
00:39:32I know it's crazy and I know it's awful.
00:39:39It does.
00:39:43If I go to prison, my daughter dies.
00:39:49Alright?
00:39:49Not maybe, not perhaps.
00:39:51She actually dies.
00:39:53If I can't get her that treatment.
00:40:00Besides, once we started talking on the bus and I realized how annoyingly fucking nice
00:40:05you were, I changed my mind.
00:40:11I couldn't go through with it.
00:40:15Then you fell asleep.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:21But when I woke up and I realized what had happened, I rushed over here to try to stop
00:40:26you from opening it.
00:40:30But I did open it.
00:40:35And so here we are.
00:40:42Why should I believe a word that you're saying?
00:40:50Well, there's this.
00:40:57Also, why would I come over here if I wasn't telling you the truth?
00:41:01Right?
00:41:02Why wouldn't I just let you take the fall?
00:41:07Maybe you're crazy.
00:41:08You do have a head in your bag.
00:41:15You think I'm crazy.
00:41:19I don't know.
00:41:22It might be worse if you're sane.
00:41:30Well, either way, we're in this now.
00:41:38So you gonna help me?
00:41:46What happens if I say no?
00:41:53I'm not entirely sure.
00:42:00But I do know one thing.
00:42:05I still have your pills.
00:42:10You're a mother.
00:42:12He wouldn't put my baby at risk.
00:42:16I'm a mother.
00:42:19And I'll do whatever it takes to protect my child.
00:42:39What an interesting town.
00:42:43Is that a Stellar's J that I hear?
00:42:45How the fuck would I know?
00:42:47Ooh, testy, testy.
00:42:49Cheer up.
00:42:50We're almost done with this hollow balloon.
00:42:52Look at how much fun we're having.
00:43:08If you're not a fan of the great outdoors, then why may I ask if you live here?
00:43:15I told you.
00:43:16Ah, that's right.
00:43:18Prince.
00:43:20Prince charming in the desire for a home of your own.
00:43:26What does he do exactly?
00:43:31He's an entrepreneur.
00:43:35Of course he is.
00:43:38And what about you?
00:43:40Do you work?
00:43:42I was an accountant.
00:43:46And now you're nothing.
00:43:49The princess finds her prince charming, gets hitched, quits her job immediately.
00:43:54All to fulfill her one life dream of being pregnant and barefoot in a spotless country kitchen.
00:44:03No offense.
00:44:05You are nice, so I bet something.
00:44:13You know, I married Jack right out of college.
00:44:18Because, um, because he asked.
00:44:22And because my parents approved.
00:44:25His company helps US manufacturers find cheaper, less regulated parts suppliers in other countries.
00:44:33Ew.
00:44:34Yeah.
00:44:35Very ew.
00:44:37The thing is, it's not a half bad idea if you have no morals and you want to get rich.
00:44:43But in a surprise to no one, Jack turned out to be a really horrible salesman.
00:44:49He couldn't find any investors.
00:44:51So we had to take a loan out from my dad.
00:44:55I hate my dad.
00:44:57He's a dick.
00:44:59And now, even with all of his sales trips, Jack can't find any goddamn customers.
00:45:06You know, I offered to be his accountant.
00:45:09But no.
00:45:10He insisted that I quit my job so we can move to this shithole middle of nowhere town that's literally
00:45:16downwind from a toxic pit.
00:45:19That's why my house was so cheap.
00:45:22It's the closest street to a lake of cancer.
00:45:25So what do I do?
00:45:27I plan to leave him.
00:45:28I pack my bag and I get ready to vanish into the night.
00:45:32And that's when I find out I'm pregnant.
00:45:35Yeah.
00:45:37So now I'm stuck.
00:45:39With my absentee husband and my dick dad with no friends and my Pinterest projects.
00:45:45Mm-hmm.
00:45:46And a cancer link.
00:45:48So fuck you.
00:45:49And fuck your assumptions about me and my so-called fucking fairytale life.
00:45:55You don't know anything about me.
00:45:57Just back off.
00:46:08I like you more and more all the time.
00:46:16Come on.
00:46:17We're almost there.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:49You weren't kidding about that cancer.
00:46:52Hope you didn't breathe that shit in.
00:46:53Couldn't be good for the baby.
00:47:28here.
00:47:30Here.
00:47:40Hey.
00:47:45This isn't your fault.
00:47:47You didn't do anything wrong.
00:47:50You didn't have a choice.
00:47:53Besides,
00:47:57you had it coming.
00:48:11Oh.
00:48:13Oh.
00:48:16Oh.
00:48:34Oh, my God.
00:48:37Oh.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:38Easy there, fat one.
00:48:40Just throw it in.
00:48:41Throw the rest in and we'll be done.
00:48:48Okay.
00:48:49Okay.
00:48:50Okay.
00:48:52Okay.
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:54Okay.
00:48:55Okay.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:57Okay.
00:49:02So long, asshole.
00:49:18Hey, did I see a diner in town?
00:49:22What?
00:49:23Let's go have some pie.
00:49:25My treat.
00:49:26What the fuck are you talking about?
00:49:28I mean, you must be famished.
00:49:30I know I am.
00:49:32No.
00:49:33Leave.
00:49:34Now.
00:49:37I get it.
00:49:37It's been a long day.
00:49:39Why don't you go shower and I'll buy you all the pie you want after.
00:49:43Okay?
00:50:00How's it going in there?
00:50:14You like to shower tight, huh?
00:50:28You spend $27 on a candle?
00:50:41Boone.
00:50:43Who knew?
00:51:06How many?
00:51:08Just the two of us.
00:51:10Sit where you like.
00:51:29See, I appreciate the opportunity to pick my own table.
00:51:33I do, but why put up a wait here sign if you don't actually want people to wait, you know?
00:51:40Maybe it gets busy.
00:51:44You're an optimist.
00:51:46I like it.
00:51:47Can I get something started for you?
00:51:50Yes.
00:51:51Rebecca, I will have a black coffee and a slice of your favorite pie.
00:51:55Surprise me.
00:51:56And my friend here will have the same.
00:51:58Only make hers a decaf because she's expecting.
00:52:02Oh.
00:52:03Boy or girl.
00:52:05Um, I don't know.
00:52:08We want it to be a surprise.
00:52:10Well, I think it's a girl.
00:52:12That's nice.
00:52:13Boys can be nasty.
00:52:15I know, right?
00:52:17Off with their heads.
00:52:21So why haven't you left your husband yet?
00:52:25Um, look, I know, I know you got pregnant, blah, blah, blah, but it's not like you got pregnant in
00:52:301952.
00:52:31Right?
00:52:32Women have had the right to vote, own their own property for what?
00:52:36A while now.
00:52:39You have family.
00:52:40Why stick around?
00:52:41Why are you still torturing me?
00:52:43Geez.
00:52:44We are jets, princess.
00:52:47I'm sorry.
00:52:49Tess.
00:52:52Look, I, I will leave.
00:52:54Okay?
00:52:54And you'll never see me again.
00:52:56I promise.
00:52:59But not until I have a delicious piece of pie.
00:53:05Speak of the goddess.
00:53:08Well, I brought y'all one slice of poison berry.
00:53:11And one slice of lemon meringue.
00:53:13They're both my favorite and I couldn't decide.
00:53:15And why should you have to?
00:53:17They look perfect.
00:53:20Are you celebrating something?
00:53:24Actually, yes.
00:53:26Fingers crossed, but I think Tess here just got away with murder.
00:53:30Oh yeah?
00:53:32Did you make a good investment or something?
00:53:35No, actual murder.
00:53:39Do you have any tips you can share?
00:53:43No, um, yeah.
00:53:45Don't, don't murder people.
00:53:47It actually turns out to be very stressful.
00:53:50Fair enough.
00:53:51I'll have to control myself.
00:53:52Yes, please.
00:53:53Please do your best.
00:53:54Enjoy your pie.
00:54:02What?
00:54:03Are you out of your fucking mind?
00:54:08It's very possible.
00:54:11Look, what's done is done.
00:54:13Okay?
00:54:14The past is in the past.
00:54:16Can we please just enjoy some pie?
00:54:19Here.
00:54:26Just the usual.
00:54:37Wow.
00:54:42It's good, right?
00:54:47It is actually.
00:54:48See?
00:54:50And all is right with the world once again.
00:54:59I just need to run out to the restroom.
00:55:02Mm.
00:55:03Cool, I'll come with you.
00:55:04What? I can't be on my own.
00:55:05Well, I'm sure you can, but I have to pee too.
00:55:13What was your plan there, Sparky?
00:55:17I just have to pee.
00:55:28I might be crazy, Tess, but I'm not stupid.
00:55:36Why lie?
00:55:40Is that a trait you inherited from your dick father?
00:55:45Why not just yell out?
00:55:46Right now, go ahead.
00:55:52Is it because maybe even now you don't know what you'd say?
00:56:01Officer, that woman made me throw a head into a vat of chemicals.
00:56:07Who? That woman right there?
00:56:09That single mother with a sick child?
00:56:13No criminal record?
00:56:14Yes, her.
00:56:17Do you have any evidence?
00:56:19Well, no, but...
00:56:24Do you know whose head it is?
00:56:26Well, no, but...
00:56:33Or maybe it's because you still think I might hurt you.
00:56:37Do you think that I wore these baggy pants to conceal some gun?
00:56:42That I've been carrying this entire time in my pocket,
00:56:45nestled right next to your pills?
00:56:48Just in case you decided to come at me and risk your own child's life.
00:56:54I mean...
00:56:55You didn't want her after all, right?
00:56:58She's the reason you're stuck in this two-bit town playing house.
00:57:03Instead of gallivanting around with your girlfriends in Chicago or Denver.
00:57:11Is that it, Tess?
00:57:15Are you afraid of this hypothetical Rhetta that I might have tapped away?
00:57:29Do you?
00:57:36No.
00:57:40Ma'am.
00:57:42Do you have any history of mental illness?
00:57:46Well, no officers, but...
00:57:51You know, I did spend that one summer in college in a wellness facility.
00:57:56Where my parents found out about my little cutting habit.
00:58:01How'd...
00:58:01The doctors told me that I was the model patient.
00:58:04I mean, resident.
00:58:07Besides, she stole my pills.
00:58:18Those pills in front of you, ma'am?
00:58:22Yes, officer.
00:58:27Well, ladies.
00:58:29This one is on me.
00:58:31Oh, it is so nice of you. Thank you.
00:58:34And I will do my best to follow your advice.
00:58:36Yes, please do.
00:58:37No murdering unless absolutely necessary.
00:58:40Right-o.
00:58:42Enjoy the rest of your day.
00:58:43You too.
00:58:49Shall we?
00:59:19Well, it's been fun.
00:59:25I'm sorry.
00:59:28No, it hasn't.
00:59:30I really am sorry for pulling you into this.
00:59:33It's...
00:59:34It's not your fault.
00:59:35You didn't deserve any of it.
00:59:38You know, I really wanted to hate you to...
00:59:42make all of this easier, you know?
00:59:46But I have to admit...
00:59:50You really grew on me.
00:59:55So...
01:00:02It's almost four.
01:00:04Don't forget your next pill.
01:00:07Thanks.
01:00:12When that baby is born...
01:00:17She's gonna become your everything.
01:00:22Do better than I did, okay?
01:00:33Okay.
01:00:34I'm sorry.
01:01:04Mm-hmm.
01:01:25Mark, Mark, oh, please.
01:01:39Dad.
01:01:42Leavenworth and Johnson, how may I help you?
01:01:44Hi, Cindy, it's Tess.
01:01:46Is my dad available?
01:01:47I could really use some legal advice.
01:01:49Oh, um, hi, Tess.
01:01:51Actually, your dad hasn't come in today.
01:01:53Haha, Cindy, you're very funny.
01:01:55This is kind of important.
01:01:56I'm sorry, sweetie.
01:01:57His car's at the Elmsley office, but no one knows where he is.
01:02:00What?
01:02:01I'll definitely have him call you as soon as we get ahold of him.
01:02:04Oh, okay, thank you.
01:02:12Tess?
01:02:12Mom, I just called Dad's office and they said that they don't know where he is.
01:02:17Well, I didn't want to worry you.
01:02:19Worry me? What the fuck is going on?
01:02:21Well, your father went out for a dinner meeting last night and no one's heard from him today.
01:02:24But I don't want to worry you, though.
01:02:27He does this sometimes, you know?
01:02:30Your dad has had more than his share of misadventures, I'm sorry to say.
01:02:34But I swear he's going to walk in that door any second now like nothing's happened.
01:02:40You'll see.
01:02:42My daughter's the picture, pal.
01:02:43You left me with no other option.
01:02:49Tess?
01:02:51Are you all right?
01:02:54Tess?
01:02:55No.
01:02:58Oh.
01:03:14But if you're gonna leave me there,
01:03:18They aren't afraid of the Lord.
01:03:19No.
01:04:36Detective Crichton will be in shortly.
01:04:38Can I get you some coffee or water?
01:04:40We're fine.
01:04:41Thank you so much.
01:04:45How's your back?
01:04:47What?
01:04:48You're bigger than ever.
01:04:50It's important to stretch every day.
01:04:57I don't know why they're making us go through all this.
01:05:00Your father's fine.
01:05:02He's fine.
01:05:05When you were young, he got on a hot streak at a poker game in Dubai.
01:05:10Didn't hear from him for a week.
01:05:11He couldn't pick up the phone?
01:05:13You know your father.
01:05:16Yeah.
01:05:18What if he's not coming back?
01:05:20Oh, honey, don't say that.
01:05:22I mean it.
01:05:24You said that he had misadventures.
01:05:30And you were fine with it?
01:05:33That was the arrangement?
01:05:34Tissa!
01:05:37What do you want me to say?
01:05:39It's not a perfect marriage.
01:05:42It never has been.
01:05:54So Dubai again, you think?
01:05:59Dubai, Paris, Macal.
01:06:02He likes to travel.
01:06:07Did Jack say when he'd be joining us?
01:06:12He's on the next flight out after his presentation.
01:06:23I'm so sorry for the wait.
01:06:25Did someone offer you coffee?
01:06:27Yes.
01:06:27Great.
01:06:29Well, obviously we don't want to jump to any conclusions.
01:06:33There's still any number of explanations for Mr. Leavenworth's weather.
01:06:39Did Mr. Leavenworth, uh, say anything to you about trips he was planning?
01:06:45People he was mad at?
01:06:47People he owed money to?
01:06:49No.
01:06:50I mean, he does business all over the world.
01:06:53It's not uncommon for him to make last-minute arrangements.
01:06:57What about you, Ms. McCarthy?
01:07:00Do you know anything about your father's travel plans?
01:07:04There's business dealings?
01:07:09Anything that can help us?
01:07:10Anything at all?
01:07:16No.
01:07:19Okay, so what I'd like to do is walk you through our procedure.
01:07:25Typically in a situation like this, the first thing we know is a kid,
01:07:30when I tell him we know is a kid,
01:07:49¶¶
01:08:15¶¶
01:08:18Tess, do you know where my keys are?
01:08:19They're right here.
01:08:20Oh, good.
01:08:22I need them.
01:08:23Don't worry.
01:08:24I ordered you a car.
01:08:26You'll make it to the airport just fine.
01:08:29Okay, what do you mean you need them?
01:08:31You can't be driving.
01:08:32I thought we just talked about this.
01:08:34We did.
01:08:36And I've decided that not driving just because I'm pregnant is arcane.
01:08:43Sounds like your ride's here.
01:08:48Tess, do you want me to stay?
01:08:52No.
01:08:54I don't.
01:08:57Okay.
01:09:00Hey, I'll be right there.
01:09:04Look, let's talk about this when I get back.
01:09:07Actually, I'm not going to be here when you get back.
01:09:11What?
01:09:13I'm going to go stay at my mom's.
01:09:15Oh.
01:09:16Yeah, okay.
01:09:17I mean, she could use the company right now.
01:09:18That's...
01:09:18No, that's not what I mean.
01:09:22I'm leaving you.
01:09:25What?
01:09:28I'm not happy here.
01:09:31Not when you're gone.
01:09:33Not when you come back.
01:09:36I don't like this life that we've built.
01:09:42I don't understand.
01:09:44If you don't like the house, we can move back to the city.
01:09:48No, it's not the house.
01:09:49It's, um...
01:09:52Everything between us, you know, it...
01:09:54It looks right.
01:09:56This looks like the life that I wanted, that we wanted.
01:10:02But right under the surface.
01:10:07I think I'm going a little crazy.
01:10:11Tess.
01:10:15Tess.
01:10:20What about the baby?
01:10:22Don't you think if...
01:10:24We're going to split up, it's...
01:10:26Better for her if we just do it now?
01:10:31Her?
01:10:33You...
01:10:34You found out.
01:10:35Oh.
01:10:36It's just a hunch.
01:10:38What do I know?
01:10:42You should go.
01:10:45Have a good trip.
01:10:50Have a good trip.
01:10:52You zou.
01:11:00Yep.
01:11:01You gotta go.
01:11:04Yep.
01:11:08Was it?
01:11:15I didn't notice nothing.
01:11:15A good trip.
01:11:16You better go.
01:11:17Youadura.
01:11:18Oh, my God.
01:11:21I love you.
01:11:51I love you.
01:12:27I love you.
01:12:28Fancy meeting you here.
01:12:43Oh, fuck.
01:13:05I've been living in constant fear of this exact moment.
01:13:12It sounds tiring.
01:13:17You have no idea.
01:13:22Don't I?
01:13:29So where are they?
01:13:33Who?
01:13:36The police.
01:13:40No police.
01:13:42Just pie.
01:13:44Hey, Mom.
01:13:45Hey.
01:13:45Did you see that last shot?
01:13:46Uh, no.
01:13:47I'm sorry.
01:13:48Hello.
01:13:49Hi.
01:13:50I'm Tess.
01:13:52I'm an old friend of your mom's.
01:13:54Oh, cool.
01:13:56Didn't know my mom had any friends.
01:13:59Do you want some pie?
01:14:00I've got lemon meringue and boysenberry.
01:14:03Oh, yeah, sure.
01:14:05God, where are kids?
01:14:06It's, sorry, honey.
01:14:08It's just almost dinner.
01:14:09Okay?
01:14:11Hey, do you see that little boy sitting over there?
01:14:14Yeah.
01:14:15That's my little boy, Freddy.
01:14:17Would you do me just the hugest favor and hang out with him for a minute while I catch up
01:14:22with your mom?
01:14:23Yeah.
01:14:24Yeah, yeah.
01:14:24Sure.
01:14:27Hey, if you push him on the swings, he'll love you forever.
01:14:39You got a boy.
01:14:42Like you didn't know that?
01:14:44How often do you check my Instagram?
01:14:47We haven't been updating it much.
01:14:51You named him Freddy.
01:14:55I had to.
01:14:59Although he wasn't as gross as I expected when he came out.
01:15:03Hi.
01:15:08I'm raising him to be the opposite of my ex-husband and father.
01:15:19I had to brush up on my forensic accounting skills.
01:15:22But I finally found some semi-regular cash withdrawals in one of my dad's shell corps.
01:15:30Only problem was, he didn't keep a record of where the money was going.
01:15:35But going over your story in my head, how you talked about him being powerful, how everyone would shut up
01:15:42in the room when he walked in.
01:15:45It wasn't hard to guess that you worked with him.
01:15:48I look back at all of the women that worked in the office around the time where you would have
01:15:52gotten pregnant.
01:15:53It took a lot of digging.
01:15:56But eventually, I found you.
01:16:06I honestly still can't believe you stayed quiet.
01:16:09What can I tell them?
01:16:12He was a missing person.
01:16:14No one suspected foul play.
01:16:16And surprise, surprise, he weren't the only woman he was fucking on the side.
01:16:21But my mom still thinks that he ran off to Europe with some French hussy or Manila with his Filipina
01:16:27masseuse.
01:16:30I figured it was better than the truth.
01:16:36Now that it's been five years, he's been declared legally dead, and that's that.
01:16:46So what are you doing here?
01:16:52Why me?
01:16:56Now I get that you needed the evidence to buy it in another way, but why me?
01:17:04Why hunt down my exact suitcase, put my father's head in it, and give it to me?
01:17:10Now don't tell me that you were going to back out of it, that you weren't going to go through
01:17:14with it.
01:17:15I don't give a shit about that.
01:17:20Why?
01:17:26Why?
01:17:28Someone connected to him.
01:17:32Someone who could have a possible motive for wanting him dead.
01:17:41But mostly, I just, I hated you.
01:17:48I'd been obsessed with you for years.
01:17:50You were at everything.
01:17:52You were at the perfect, perfect home, the perfect upbringing, the perfect college, the fairytale wedding.
01:18:05And a father who supported you.
01:18:12That little girl.
01:18:16She didn't get any of that.
01:18:18All she got was cancer and a father who didn't give a fuck about her.
01:18:27All she got was me and...
01:18:39I know it isn't fair.
01:18:45You didn't even know about us.
01:18:50I hated you all the same.
01:18:55She looks good now.
01:18:58She cancer-free.
01:19:00Yeah.
01:19:02Three years.
01:19:05The stone cell transplant was...
01:19:08awful.
01:19:11But it worked.
01:19:17There's another reason why I never told the police anything.
01:19:22The more I thought about your story, and I'm not sure how much of it I actually believe, but the
01:19:27more I thought about it...
01:19:31The more I remembered the bruises my mom would cover up with makeup.
01:19:40I remembered when they found out that I was cutting and they checked me into that wellness center.
01:19:49He didn't say,
01:19:51I hope that you get better.
01:19:55He said, don't embarrass us.
01:20:03I remember him slapping me so hard, I burst my eardrum.
01:20:11I'm not sorry your daughter never knew him.
01:20:18I'm not sorry he's gone.
01:20:27I will always hate you.
01:20:33I hate me too.
01:20:44So now that dad has been declared legally dead,
01:20:49his life insurance policy paid out.
01:20:52My mom gave me half.
01:20:55I thought it was only fair that his youngest daughter got her equal share.
01:21:12Holy shit, Tess.
01:21:15It's her money.
01:21:17She deserves it.
01:21:39So what now?
01:21:42We go our separate ways.
01:21:48We're first.
01:21:52Bye.
01:22:05And all is right in the world once again, right?
01:22:13Something like that.
01:22:20We'll see you next time.
01:22:21Bye.
01:22:25Bye.
01:22:27Bye.
01:22:38Bye.
01:22:40Bye.
