00:10Previously, lots of real estate.
00:12My mom always told me to look out for the nice guys.
00:14I'm a nice guy.
00:16I think you might be.
00:17Luck is not a strategy.
00:20Oh my God.
00:21Your hearse chasing.
00:24I don't want to do this anymore.
00:26Ignoring what we once had.
00:27The love.
00:28You could have fought for us a little.
00:31Oh well.
00:32Something's gonna kill you.
00:34Something's gonna kill you.
00:38Oh, that's Tyler.
00:43He was your favorite toy.
00:46We just didn't have the heart.
00:50I understand.
00:54You carried him everywhere.
01:01You'd make up stories about the things that Elvis told you.
01:07Funny things that he did.
01:12We just thought he was your imaginary friend.
01:15I mean, I'd read about kids having those.
01:21Do you remember any of this?
01:25A little.
01:27Not much.
01:29God, there were so many voices back then.
01:34You would just sit and listen.
01:36For hours.
01:38Just smiling.
01:40And nodding.
01:42And then you'd talk back.
01:44In this soothing, comforting voice.
01:49It was like the voice of somebody much older and wiser.
01:56I was in such a terrible place in those days.
02:00I know, Mom.
02:05The voices.
02:07You heard them too.
02:12From the time I was a girl.
02:16They'd come and go.
02:17Soft.
02:18Faint.
02:20But I couldn't talk back the way you can.
02:25I could only listen enough to be terrified.
02:29And with everything else that was going on back then,
02:32it was just too much.
02:37It's okay.
02:38I have to leave in a few minutes anyway.
02:49Yes, Stephanie.
02:51I bring Luke in occasionally for special projects.
02:54He needs the work, and, well, it's my way of giving back.
02:58Stephanie's father recently passed away,
03:01and why don't you explain?
03:03Sorry for all this.
03:04I'd be there myself if I hadn't broken my leg skiing in Gestalt.
03:08Hmm.
03:10Sorry to hear that.
03:11And I'm sorry for your loss.
03:13My father, Magnus, was eccentric.
03:15But that's because he was very rich.
03:18If he'd been poor, we'd call him a psychopath.
03:20He was obsessed with riddles, games, puzzles.
03:23All my life, whenever I wanted anything,
03:25he'd make me solve a puzzle or figure out a riddle to get it.
03:28That's amazing.
03:31It was infuriating to have to jump through his little hoops
03:34to get your birthday presents, your allowance.
03:38Christmas was a living hell.
03:40Up until he croaked,
03:42I had to solve a stupid puzzle to access my trust fund every month.
03:46Sounds like a power thing.
03:47Totally a power thing.
03:49And now he's doing the same thing with his house.
03:54Hmm.
03:55Wow.
03:55Mm-hmm.
03:56Nice.
03:57Well, unfortunately, Daddy is pulling his shit one last time.
04:00Magnus' will is saved on his desktop computer.
04:03That's password protected.
04:05We have until midnight tonight to find that password,
04:08or the house will go into probate,
04:09and we'll probably go to the government to pay for taxes.
04:15Would you mind just excusing us for one second?
04:18Uh, sure.
04:22What the hell, Rita?
04:23I was at my mom's house.
04:25How is this my problem?
04:26This is your listing.
04:27I haven't had time to hire new assistants
04:29since Alan and Michelle's tragic sump pump incident,
04:33which was not my fault.
04:35A hell of a way to go.
04:36If we don't get that password,
04:37nobody gets bupkis.
04:39But if you and your little band of miscreants
04:41can get me the password by midnight,
04:44I'll split the commission with you.
04:4950-50.
04:50I was thinking more 70-30.
04:5350-50?
04:54You're on your arm.
04:55Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:57Uh.
04:58Uh.
05:02Good news, Stephanie.
05:03My team is on it.
05:06Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:15Really?
05:16Are you serious?
05:17Half the commission on this?
05:19For 10 hours' work?
05:21Oh, hells yes.
05:22I have a thing,
05:23but for this, I will move it.
05:25How hard could it be?
05:27I don't think it's gonna be that tough.
05:29Stephanie's email from her lawyer
05:30had the first clue.
05:32My skin is grass.
05:34My teeth are stones.
05:36I'm far too shy.
05:37To show my bones.
05:39My willows weep like widows do.
05:42Come visit me for your next clue.
05:47The cemetery.
05:48Where's Magnus buried?
05:50I'll find out.
05:51It's gotta be Weepin' Willows.
05:53It's totally the kind of high-end place
05:54that some local rich guy would choose to decompose.
05:57I say we listen to Lomax.
05:59Okay.
06:00You guys head there,
06:01and I'll get the exact location
06:02of Magnus Clifford's grave from Rita.
06:04I'll text you.
06:14Something else?
06:15I was helping out
06:16at this community blood bank the other day.
06:19Megan was there.
06:21She told me you two were on the outs.
06:23We were not together longer than we were together.
06:26No, but not even friends.
06:28It's not gonna work.
06:29We have our careers.
06:31She has her urologist.
06:35What about you?
06:37You and Crash?
06:40Crash is something.
06:44You and a fireman.
06:47I mean, that's gotta bring some balance
06:49to the universe somewhere.
06:54Does she know?
06:55That I light fires and hurl objects
06:57with the force of my mutant brain.
07:00I'm kinda waiting for the right moment.
07:03It'll come.
07:07You better head to the cemetery,
07:09and I'll find that plot.
07:10You're hunting.

12:58let's say goodbye

13:35band
13:37oh i know this one okay come with me
13:44traps
13:45what kind of traps the only kind worth setting death traps oh for your own daughter
13:54my daughter never did an honest day's work in her life
14:00still i started out running grease to the gearmen on the assembly floor the lowest of the low
14:05but i became the owner of the company do you know what that entailed do you lots of weekends
14:12probably i knew stephanie wouldn't lower herself to hunt for the password herself that would be like
14:17work no i assume she would pass it off to some greedy ignorant lackey who would take her money
14:24i assume that's you
14:27actually i subcontracted out to a few lackeys of my own
14:31you're saying that they're in some kind of
14:35danger
14:37oh i am merely the mastermind of these little exercises
14:43i have a young protégé who handles the actual logistics ordering the stones setting the traps
14:49unlike my own child she is quite industrious
14:54um i i don't get it you set traps for strangers i want stephanie to feel some kind of remorse
15:03some responsibility accountability for someone other than herself
15:09you see that's why i never wanted kids ever kids only well they they sap your energy they screw
15:16up your life right it's always gimme gimme gimme all the time all the time sure they're adorable when
15:23they're little but ultimately they're useless ungrateful inconvenient and god the smell when they're
15:29little holy god the smell
15:39well surely you must have some pleasant memories of stephanie
15:43no oh
15:50there was one time
15:53she was 10 or so
15:57i had just returned from stuttgart had to shower and change clothes before
16:03leaving again
16:06she came into the bedroom and insisted on having a tea party
16:10she set up the table two little chairs a couple of teacups and saucers and we
16:17drank tea
16:20and talked about our day
16:25she told me some fantastical story about maurice a stuffed panda bear
16:33and i told her how our south asian sales team had failed to meet their numbers and that put our
16:40whole quarter at risk
16:45she and maurice felt that was a shame
16:52you had a moment
16:55in that moment
16:57i saw something in her eyes other than scorn
17:01greed
17:03wanting
17:08i saw only affection
17:13my first husband wanted children so badly
17:17he was kind handsome loving that one detail
17:23it was our undoing
17:25good for you
17:27then i proceeded to marry two more men who had no interest in children mainly because they were selfish
17:33greedy toddlers themselves
17:35a woman who knows what she wants oh yes
17:39that's me
17:40drink oh sweet mother of god yes
17:49you still uh i'm a corpse not a methodist
17:56don't worry i know this place they put me through an out of state college
18:00so glad you're on our side
18:03here
18:05nope
18:07three stones down
18:08two
18:09three
18:11bingo
18:12i'm with the band
18:14my favorite stone in the yard
18:15the guy was a band leader
18:20oh dear
18:22thanks
18:24there
18:37did you dodge
18:39did you duck
18:41did it miss you what luck
18:43but you'll never escape me alive
18:46the next clue we'll be giving
18:49at a house not for living
18:51wait for dark and walk 12 yards times five
18:5660 yards
18:59it'll be dark before long
19:02if only this guy could have taken that job with hallmark this all could have been avoided
19:10now that it's dark it's a lot harder to see what other little surprises mr clifford has for us
19:16maybe we should just cut and run
19:18the last clue did say we'd never make it out alive
19:21suppose he could have electrified the fence
19:23or just hired a sniper to pick us off
19:26well he'd have to write a poem about it what rhymes with sniper
19:29uh diaper
19:30viper
19:31uh don't go there i hate snakes
19:33hey where's august
19:36oh great august
19:39over here
19:40at a house not for living
19:45every lock needs a key on that can we agree but this one's elusive as heck
19:53lift your eyes up to god ask his son for a nod
19:57where it hangs from the carpenter's neck
20:01so jesus right
20:03god's son and the carpenter
20:05there's got to be a whole lot of jesus around here
20:08he's a very popular item among your anthropomorphic memorial statuary options
20:13number three trailing only the angels and his mom
20:16no directions
20:18so one would expect
20:21it to be close by
20:25over there
20:26good eye
20:31what
20:33after all these years
20:35i finally found jesus
20:41look around his neck
20:43oh just a moment
20:56oh my god
21:01mistakes
21:02it seems they have been raised
21:09this is august ripley
21:11mahatma gandhi once said

21:18august call me
21:24hi you've reached susan ireland partner at roman ireland i wish you the serenity to leave me a message
21:29if it's important the patience to hit me back later if it's not and the wisdom to know the difference
21:34it's luke call me
21:41it's lomax
21:47luke
21:52luke rita
21:53listen did your people go to the cemetery
21:56yeah they're there now
21:57oh
21:59so some new information just came in
22:03the location of the grave
22:05not exactly
22:06then what
22:07i have it on good authority
22:10that your people might be in some
22:13well let's call it uh
22:16mortal danger
22:17what who told you that was stephanie
22:20actually i'm here with magnus clifford himself
22:24with who
22:25he says
22:28that's enough
22:31i don't want to take all the fun out of this
22:52he'd stop by without calling first
22:57so
23:08so
23:09so
23:23Good for you. You're not dead. There's just one stone ahead. It contains the true password you
23:29seek. If you fight to the death, to your ultimate breath, you might live long enough for a peek.
23:35It's a stone with an eye, and perhaps if you try, you will read the engraving that's there.
23:41But I doubt that you'll make it. Your next breath, when you take it, will reveal that you've run out
23:48of air.
24:18What's the clock for?
24:20I have a theory. It's not pleasant.
24:24Of course not.
24:25Did you hear the thunk when the door closed?
24:28Yeah.
24:29The line in the pole about running out of air?
24:32We're going to run out of air?
24:34In about 13 minutes, if that is correct.
24:40Well, shit!
24:42Help me!
24:44Let's go!
24:49So the headmistress is blushing, and she clarifies for the girls that a Fokker was a type of German aircraft.
24:55And Sir Douglas Bader turns to the headmistress, and he says,
24:57Well, madam, that may be, but these Fokkers were flying Messerschmitts!
25:01Oh!
25:04Oh!
25:05Oh!
25:07Oh!
25:07Oh!
25:08Oh!
25:09Oh!
25:09Oh!
25:11Oh!
25:12Oh!
25:18Oh!
25:19Yeah, it's your own damn fault!
25:21The point is, you've won!
25:26Here's the thing.
25:29Why not just let me out, huh?
25:33How wangle a deal with the bank to handle the sale in probate?
25:37I've already got a multimillionaire in mind who'd be perfect.
25:42I'll reach out to him this very night.
25:44And you can deprive Stephanie of the house,
25:46but preserve its value for those left behind.
25:52That'd be you.
25:54Hm?
25:57Truth is, that tea party story
26:02made me remember the good that was in Stephanie.
26:06It might be there still.
26:09It might.
26:14Go on, get out. I have thinking to do.
26:17Hm.
26:20Regardless, bravo for you never having children
26:23in the first place.
26:25You're the smart one, Rita.
26:29Yep, that's me.
26:31I'm the smart one.
26:50Waits.
26:56Can we even slow down?
26:58I have lawyers, and they're fighting over the escape.
27:17There has to be a way out of here.
27:18The door is airtight.
27:32Luke!
27:33Luke!
27:33Thank God!
27:34How did you find us?
27:35Well, you know that thing I do to find spirits in the house?
27:37I kind of did the reverse to find live humans in a place full of spirits.
27:41Someone sent out a ping, you sent out a gnip.
27:44Come on.
27:45We're running out of time.
27:56Mr. McNeil?
27:57My name is Rita Wise.
27:59I realize you've retained real estate counsel, and I respect that.
28:04Even though the counsel you've chosen might be,
28:08what's a kind and loving way of saying this, clinically insane?
28:14Okay.
28:16I currently represent a magnificent property
28:20that might touch you on a very intimate level.
28:24Yet for reasons of his own, Luke has not exposed it to you.
28:28I feel that it is my responsibility.
28:31My duty to expose myself.
28:35That is to expose it myself.
28:39Well, I know Luke's been busy.
28:41I tried him this morning.
28:42Oh, this morning.
28:43Huh.
28:44He was visiting his mother.
28:47Perfectly fine, I guess.
28:49But, uh, priorities, right?
28:53His mother.
28:54Mm-hmm.
28:54She's here.
28:55Uh-huh.
28:57Mr. McNeil, I believe we have business to do.
29:01Okay.
29:03Okay.
29:08Luke's mother.
29:10Adorable.
29:16Okay, little Max, you have no idea where the big guy is?
29:18Yeah, I-I sort of kind of remember seeing it,
29:21but I...
29:22no idea where.
29:23Sorry, boss.
29:24No, it's okay.
29:25But we're all gonna have to split up and find it.
29:28Either way, let's meet in the parking lot.
29:30Let's see.
29:3120 minutes?
29:41It's really nice here.
29:43Yes.
29:44We're still here.
29:44I know.
29:47Hey, Augie, can I, uh, can I ask you a personal question?
29:52I suppose.
29:53When you had to explain to Rochelle that you were...
29:58You know that we were...
30:01You mean when I had to explain to her that I was working for a firm
30:05that might someday ask me to spend a long night in a cemetery
30:09searching for a headstone with an all-seeing eye?
30:12Yeah.
30:14How did you do it?
30:17Rochelle is a rare woman.
30:20Once in a lifetime.
30:21She had made a living of confronting the impossible,
30:24so how could she...
30:30Augie?
30:34Right.
30:36Yes.
30:38How could she tell me to do otherwise?
30:46You're a lucky guy.
30:48Yes.
30:50I was.
30:55I assume this is about a gentleman?
31:00Yeah, I've only known him for a little while, but, um...
31:04Yeah, he's...
31:05He's kind of great.
31:08I can only tell you what I know for certain,
31:10which is...
31:12Never be ashamed of who you are and what you do.
31:16If he can't accept it...
31:18Best to know now.
31:44Hello?
31:51Hello.
31:52Have you seen my husband?
31:55No. I'm sorry.
31:58His name is Jasper.
32:03He told me he'd catch up to me, but I haven't found him yet.
32:08How long were you and Jasper together?
32:11Only a few months.
32:14It took us so long to get together.
32:17And when we did, finally,
32:20we thought we had all the time in the world.
32:25And then I died.
32:29And here we are.
32:33Why so long?
32:35To connect?
32:37I had a career.
32:39He was in the service.
32:41We let it all play out.
32:44Bumped into each other every now and then.
32:47Passion flared, hot and bright.
32:52And then we'd go our separate ways.
32:56Promising each other.
32:59It was just a matter of time.
33:04I knew it, deep in my bones,
33:07that he was the one.
33:12I should have taken him, kept him, loved him.
33:20I shouldn't have waited.
33:24Yeah.
33:27He'll be by.
33:29I'm sure of it.
33:31I hope so.
33:36By the way,
33:38you haven't seen a stone, a headstone, big one,
33:42like an all-seeing eye on it?
33:45Oh, Christ, I hate that stone.
33:47The girl in overalls just put it up the other day.
33:50You really want to see it?
33:52Oh, please.
33:56You found it?
33:57Who found it?
33:58I found it. I got it.
33:59The password? Really?
34:01I'm heading to the house now.
34:02When you get to a place where your phone works,
34:03you call Rita and you have her meet me there.
34:17You found it?
34:18Yep.
34:19Hurry up. We've only got two minutes.
34:21Can you sh...
34:31Setep.
34:33What does this mean? It doesn't mean anything.
34:35I thought it would at least...
34:37I found it out phonetically.
34:39Three's are E's.
34:41Setep, you'll hate this.
34:44Setep, you will hate this.
34:50Father of the year.
35:00You're back.
35:02Hmm. We found the password.
35:09You people all right?
35:12As good as it'll ever be.
35:14What's in the new will?
35:19I cut her out.
35:21Stephanie.
35:23She doesn't get the house.
35:25The estate, none of it.
35:29That's pretty harsh.
35:34And yet she's still your daughter.
35:36Nothing's gonna change that.
35:38She'll always be the little girl with the tea party.
35:41And the panda.
35:45Do you really want your last gesture on this earth
35:48to be an extended middle finger towards her?
36:02There's a set of encyclopedias on the shelves there.
36:08Bring me the W volume.
36:10If you'd be so kind.
36:32It's an alternate will.
36:35I composed and signed it.
36:37When I was in a...
36:40a bit more magnanimous mood.
36:44It leaves everything to Stephanie.
36:48Perhaps you could hide it under a piano,
36:50suspended from a great height.
36:52Or I could just give it to her.
36:54Tell her that it's a present from her dad,
36:57who loved her very much,
36:58but had a bit of a time showing it.
37:00Be the bigger man.
37:06And unleash a category five shit hurricane
37:10of familial guilt
37:12that she'll be explaining to expensive therapists
37:15for the rest of her natural life.
37:37I was surprised when you called last night.
37:45Well, thanks for making the time.
37:47It's good to get out in the sunshine.
37:51A busy night in the ER?
37:53You know, the usual.
37:55Friday night, knife and gun club.
38:00So...
38:01What's up?
38:02Everything okay?
38:06It's just, I was talking to somebody the other day.
38:09This woman, really nice.
38:12She told me about all the time
38:14that she lost with her husband.
38:17I take it that one person
38:19in this scenario was deceased.
38:22So anyway, she had all this regret.
38:25She'd known for a long time
38:27that they're always meant to be together,
38:29but there was always something else to do.
38:32Jobs, travel.
38:34Life.
38:36Yeah, life.
38:38But all along, they knew, they thought,
38:42they had all the time in the world.
38:45Turns out they didn't.
38:48This is turning into a dark little stroll in the sunshine.
38:52I love you, Megan.
38:56I've known since I showed up on your doorstep.
39:00These last few years,
39:02we've been doing this awkward little foxtrot,
39:04moving in and out of each other's lives,
39:06seeing other people, having lunch,
39:08but I have always known.
39:15Luke, I...
39:16You don't have to answer me.
39:18I know you're in a relationship and the timing sucks.
39:22But it's just too easy to wait for the timing not to suck.
39:27Before you know it, I'm sitting on a bench in a cemetery
39:29at 11.08 p.m. some night, explaining that I thought...
39:33we had all the time in the world.
39:39You know, a long time ago, Susan told me that if I liked you,
39:42I should make a move.
39:46So finally...
39:48Finally...
39:52Finally...
39:52I'm taking her advice.
39:57Megan, I love you.
40:02So I guess the next move...
40:04is up to you.
40:08Maybe.
40:11I'm good.
40:11I'm good.
40:13I'm good.
40:26I'm good.
40:30To me, I can't come to the phone right now.
40:33Just leave me a message and I'll let you back.
40:35Hi, uh, Mads. It's... it's Mom.
40:39Uh, look, I know it's been a long time.
40:42It's just, uh, well, I was thinking of you,
40:46and I thought maybe we could, I don't know,
40:49get together for a coffee or... or tea.
40:53I'd really love to see you
40:54and hear what's going on in your life.
40:58Maybe it's time.
41:01Okay, uh, I really hope you call me back.
41:04Anytime, really.
41:08And...
41:10I hope you're happy, Madeline.
41:13Goodbye.
41:20Hm.
41:34Miss Woodhouse, I need to have a word with you.
41:38It's about Luke.
41:39What about Luke? Is he all right?
41:42Perhaps I could...
41:44step inside.
41:45I'm sorry, I don't know you.
41:47Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
41:49I'm Luke's friend, Tyler.
41:51Your son needs you, Miss Woodhouse.
41:55You're not gonna desert him...
41:58again?
42:00Are you?
42:02Although...
42:03Although...
42:04It would be very on brand.
42:07Ah!
42:09Ah!
42:11Ah!
42:13Ah!
42:15Ah!
42:18There's a formula that makes sure you don't fall down.
42:18You don't know everything.
42:29Ah!
42:33Ah!
42:34Ah!
42:41Don't know!
42:41All right!
42:44You're listening to me, bro.
42:45And help me work this way.
42:46If you can, fill me out in the comment,
