00:00At the beginning.
00:04Childhood.
00:06This is when family dysfunction often makes its way known into our adult relationships.
00:14Lindy.
00:17Describe your childhood in one word.
00:20Cold.
00:24Less.
00:28Describe your childhood in one word.
00:30Happy.
00:32Uh-huh.
00:34Happy.
00:35Okay.
00:36Now, Les, this session is what I like to call the check engine light is on.
00:43And we need to locate what needs service.
00:46But in order to start that repair, Les, we need to dig deep to diagnose it.
00:51Does that make sense?
00:52Sure.
00:53Dig.
00:54Dig deep.
00:55That's right.
00:56Very good.
00:57So digging deeper.
01:00Describe your childhood in one word.
01:02Joyful.
01:03Deeper.
01:04Idyllic.
01:05Deeper still.
01:06Les.
01:06Loving.
01:07Okay.
01:16I'm going to change tack.
01:18Lindy, from your perspective, how would you describe Les's childhood in one word?
01:23Delusional.
01:23What's that supposed to mean?
01:24It means your mother created a fantasy childhood for you.
01:27She qualified to make these psychological hypotheses?
01:31Hypotheses?
01:32It's not a hypothesis.
01:35Your mother told me.
01:37What?
01:37Nancy told me she was protecting you from your hypercritical controlling father.
01:44She is misinterpreting my dad's tough love as critical.
01:47Was it Nancy who called it tough love?
01:49Yeah.
01:50It was.
01:50I believe her.
01:54Delusional.
02:06He has gone fucking mad.
02:11It's just me.
02:12He's been at it all night in this moving surgeon.
02:16Oh, look at that trap.
02:19It's ridiculous.
02:21Shrinks my laptop as bait.
02:24Get out of here.
02:28Hey, hey, hey.
02:29Yeah, sure.
02:30Maybe it's not his best work, but he's obviously worried about you.
02:34Uh, no.
02:35He is worried because he can't control me.
02:39Maybe control is his love language.
02:41Maybe that sucks, Richard.
02:42I mean, if he catches me, who knows what he'll lock me up in next.
02:46I can see from your point of view how that could suck, but look, we could easily outsmart
02:51that rudimentary trap and just obtain the laptop, send him a little email.
02:55We're not obtaining anything that defeats the purpose.
03:00No.
03:00Yeah.
03:00I know that.
03:01Wait.
03:01Remind me.
03:02We are proving my independence.
03:04We.
03:04Me.
03:05I.
03:05I.
03:05Okay.
03:06I don't need a laptop.
03:08I have my phone.
03:09Got it.
03:10So.
03:10Let's just.
03:11Do you want a little help with that?
03:12I got it.
03:17Oh.
03:18Whoever Terry is, he or she really wants to get a hold of you.
03:21Yeah.
03:22She's my first call.
03:23Your story.
03:25They published it.
03:26No.
03:27No.
03:28No.
03:30Oh, God.
03:32They love you.
03:35Who's they?
03:36Uh, everyone.
03:38Everyone?
03:39Everyone?
03:39Like, everyone.
03:41Everyone.
03:42Look, look.
03:42It's just.
03:43Everyone.
03:45I mean, you know, my mom said a thing.
03:46I told you so is tacky.
03:48But I told you so.
03:50Breathtaking?
03:52Worth waiting for?
03:57Everyone loves me.
04:04You better be sitting in a dark room with the curtains drawn.
04:07I'm viral.
04:08I'm cat person.
04:10Viral.
04:10Me.
04:11I'm viral.
04:12Like a bad flu.
04:13Look, Lindy.
04:13I thought I'd been forgotten.
04:15Discarded.
04:16A has-been.
04:17But it turns out they were waiting for me patiently.
04:21And they still love me.
04:23Reality check.
04:24You didn't fucking write it.
04:25It's not about the story.
04:27It's about my fans.
04:28And that they love me.
04:30That they still love me.
04:31You're basking in make-believe glory.
04:32This is a ticking time bomb that is going to blow.
04:35Wait a minute.
04:37You told me that you were going to disarm the bomb.
04:40I tried.
04:42I flew Jackie out to New York.
04:44Was out negotiated by Hayseeds.
04:46Had sex with a cowboy in an elevator.
04:48Never got his name.
04:49Oh my god.
04:50And?
04:51It was wonderful.
04:53It was wonderful.
04:54You need to find him.
04:55Oh, I have to find him.
04:56Hey, uh, Fifty Shades of Pain on the line.
04:58E.L.
04:59Obvious.
04:59E.L.
05:00Lindy's nuts.
05:01It's chef's kiss.
05:03I can hear him.
05:04Lindy, listen to me.
05:06We have a chance to fix this.
05:08We still have plausible deniability.
05:10So just do nothing.
05:12I mean fucking nothing.
05:13Say nothing.
05:14Do you hear me?
05:15Yes.
05:16Do and say nothing.
05:21The, um, Today Show wants an interview.
05:25The Today Show.
05:26The Today Show.
05:28Wants me.
05:29The Today Show wants me.
05:33Wait.
05:36No, no, no.
05:37Look.
05:38On Zoom, you'll be regular size.
05:44Oh, I, I can't.
05:47I, okay.
05:49I, this is not.
05:50I can't really.
05:51I mean, I absolutely cannot.
05:53I, no.
05:54There's no way.
05:55I'm absolutely not doing The Today Show.
05:57I can't do The Today Show.
05:58Listen, I know, I know, I know you're scared.
06:00I know it's been a minute since you've been the toast of the literary town.
06:03Yes, but.
06:03But this is Jenna.
06:06Jenna?
06:07Pulitzer Prize winner.
06:09Lindy, Little John.
06:10Okay.
06:11The world, you waited long enough.
06:13This is your time.
06:16It's my time.
06:17Are you kidding?
06:18This is your time.
06:20It's my time.
06:22I.
06:22Just saying.
06:27Here's the thing, though.
06:28Oh.
06:29Mm-mm.
06:29Too much talking in the head.
06:33Book it.
06:33We're gonna book it.
06:34Book it.
06:35Ah!
06:37I'm gonna be on The Today Show.
06:39Today Show!
06:41Okay.
06:42Okay.
06:43Okay.
06:44Excited, excited.
06:45Wait.
06:45Bad news.
06:45The, um, the phone is out of battery.
06:47It's that, um.
06:49Why didn't you get that charger?
06:59Uh, just a thought.
07:01Don't kill the messenger.
07:02How about if you just.
07:04If you say laptop, we're not getting the laptop.
07:06No, no, no.
07:07We are gonna go get the charger.
07:09Because the charger equals independence.
07:18You should have used a more sensitive trigger.
07:20You need to let it go, Richie.
07:21We're not going for the laptop.
07:23Les!
07:25We gotta hide.
07:26Huh?
07:26Look out.
07:28Shut up.
07:28Oh, wait for me.
07:29Wait for me.
07:31Les.
07:38Les.
07:40Les.
07:41It's okay.
07:42It's okay, dear.
07:43It's me.
07:44It's Mom.
07:45Oh.
07:46Are you having a nervous breakdown?
07:51It's okay, if you are.
07:53I can call in, Dean.
07:55What?
07:55What?
07:57You're in the wrong zone.
07:59You gotta be in the Les zone.
08:01This, do not walk outside the Les zone.
08:03Les?
08:03Yes.
08:03Keep your voice down.
08:05Let me check your shoes.
08:06Oh, God.
08:06Oh, good.
08:07Oh, good.
08:07She's not there.
08:09She's not there.
08:09Les.
08:10Les.
08:11I am very worried about you.
08:13No, Mom.
08:13I'm fine.
08:14I'm fine.
08:14I'm okay.
08:14I'm good.
08:15I'm good.
08:16I'm just, I've been remodeling the house for Lindy as a surprise.
08:20Oh.
08:21Yeah.
08:21Yeah, yeah.
08:22And I'm worried about you being up here.
08:24It's dangerous.
08:24So we should go.
08:25We should go downstairs.
08:26Come on.
08:26Come on.
08:27Yeah.
08:27I think you are unwieldy.
08:29No, it's fine.
08:30It's the fumes.
08:31It's the fumes from the floor.
08:32That's the whole thing.
08:33What?
08:34All right.
08:34Okay.
08:35So we're on the move.
08:37And then we're going to go downstairs in the less zone.
08:40No, you've got to stay.
08:41You must, Mom, you've got to stay in the less zone.
08:43Oh, in the less zone.
08:44Yeah.
08:44Okay.
08:45See?
08:45We're good.
08:46See?
08:46Less zone.
08:47That's it.
08:47Down we go.
08:48We're going down.
08:49Okay.
08:49We've got to move.
08:51Richard.
08:52Oh, yeah.
08:54You know, I, uh, I miss my mom.
09:01Yeah, Les, Les has a really good mom, you know?
09:05Nancy, uh, she shielded him from reality too much.
09:08And also from his dad, though, who was wow.
09:12But Nancy, no, she's a, yeah, she's a mom mom.
09:16Kind of always wished I had imagined.
09:19What would I be like if I did have, um.
09:26I think I need a minute.
09:29Yeah.
09:30Yeah, we can.
09:31We can take a minute.
09:38Okay, Mom.
09:39So, you know, we agreed last night with a change of plans and Magoo's with Lindy and I'm, I'm
09:44working and Lulu's here at home and she's in and out and she's doing her thing that, you
09:49know, you, you should, you should probably just, you should go home.
09:52Okay?
09:52Okay?
09:53Les.
09:54Yeah?
09:55I don't believe you.
09:56Which part?
09:57Every part, dear.
09:59I'm acting perfectly normal.
10:01The last minute remodeling.
10:03The fumes that I did not smell.
10:06The Les zone.
10:07Lindy's disappearance.
10:09Lindy's disappearance?
10:10That's a little dateline.
10:11The husband was the last one to see her.
10:12She's at the gray house, Mom.
10:15Okay?
10:16Other than that, I do not see my behavior as bizarre.
10:18I am working really hard.
10:20I am very stressed out and I'm not sleeping very well, but I'm fine, Mom.
10:26I'm fine.
10:27Okay?
10:28You're fine.
10:28Sure, dear.
10:29When you're ready to talk, I'm right here.
10:33We talked and I'm good, but it is too dangerous for you here.
10:36Okay?
10:37I promise I will stay downstairs away from these fumes, but I am not leaving until I know
10:43you're okay.
10:45One last thing.
10:46When was the last time you showered, dear?
10:55Let's get that charger.
10:56Now you just have to scale the vertical surface using the floss like a rock climber would a
11:01rope.
11:02Just all the way up.
11:04I can't do one pull-up, Richie.
11:06But you have the power of the square cube law behind you.
11:10See, why even pause?
11:12Just explain.
11:14Simple math.
11:15As our size decreased, our proportional strength, that increased.
11:19It's like, um, ants.
11:21I fucking hate ants.
11:23Yes, but ant math is never wrong.
11:24Okay.
11:25Well, you're tiny too, so you do it.
11:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:28But this is your independence.
11:31Math is freedom.
11:33Freedom is independence.
11:34Go.
11:37All right.
11:41It's gonna...
11:42Yeah, it's not gonna...
11:44What are you doing?
11:45I'm conjuring my inner freedom math.
11:49This is exciting.
11:51Should we hide?
11:52No, no, no.
11:52I'm walking through the foyer in the left zone.
11:55I'm leaving for the lab, but I'd still love to hear from you.
11:58Wait, wait.
12:00Now I've opened the front door.
12:02Martin?
12:03You never answer your phone.
12:04Martin?
12:06We're in the clear.
12:06He's never letting Martin in here.
12:08Yeah, but Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom.
12:09Mom has sent the basement, and she's a rule follower.
12:11She'll stay there.
12:11It's Lulu.
12:13We don't have eyes on Lulu, so...
12:16Tick tock.
12:17You gotta help me.
12:18Oh, yeah, I'm gonna help you.
12:28Oh, yeah, I'm gonna help you.
13:02Intense.
13:07I remember the moment I discovered my mother was a liar.
13:11Too intense.
13:12You're too intense.
13:14You.
13:16Me.
13:17Why?
13:20Roommate?
13:22Well...
13:22Sure.
13:23Stop.
13:24What?
13:25You suck.
13:26Hey, you probably suck more.
13:27Okay, so I was a dick.
13:29Sorry.
13:30You didn't insult me.
13:31Oh, you don't go to Forest Park?
13:33No, I do.
13:34I just don't give a fuck about what you think.
13:37Who's Wendy Pressick?
13:41Wendy?
13:42What?
13:43Yeah, she left a pretty hefty bar tab last night.
13:46She sounds like a good time.
13:48You both had whiskey sours.
13:50She paid for your tab, but then left her credit card.
13:54Huh.
13:55Okay, why don't you just fucking say it?
13:57Credit card fraud.
14:02So what is this?
14:04Is this a shirtless citizen's arrest?
14:08No badge.
14:10Nowhere to pin it.
14:12I'm only asking.
14:13Only you asking?
14:15Only me.
14:16Good.
14:17It's a stupid question, anyway.
14:29Okay, I'm gonna go.
14:31Happy reading, Wendy.
14:37You ran out saying someone could be dead.
14:39Yeah, Lindy, Lindy's having a hard time.
14:41She's sick?
14:42No, she's unwell.
14:44Oh.
14:44Look, I am happy to stay with Lindy.
14:47No, she's at the Greyhouse.
14:48But you rushed home.
14:50She left this morning because she's emotionally unwell.
14:53Oh, right.
14:54Yeah.
14:55Should she be alone?
14:56No, Gary and Meg are nearby.
14:58It's a lot, Martin.
14:59It's a lot to keep in my head, okay?
15:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:00Quad for Les.
15:01Herbal tea for Martin.
15:03What?
15:06Oh, fuck!
15:07Another quad for Les.
15:12Is that Phil's?
15:13What?
15:13No, I have to.
15:14No, I have to.
15:30Keep going!
15:46Almost there.
15:51Yes! You did it!
15:53Oh, I love math!
15:57I know, right? It's like, it's never wrong.
16:00And a charger?
16:02On it!
16:05Okay.

25:41live there's more good news look
25:49that is a sample of mr magoo's muscle tissue the rapid expansion process might cause fragmentation
25:54in the atomic bonds leaving them too fragile to hold
26:00so we need to
26:03we need to slow the reaction to allow the nuclei time to form stronger bonds stronger bonds are
26:10fundamental in the expansion of any fragile connection or alliance oh i agree
26:23we need a neutron moderator
26:33v
26:34of r
26:37equals v
26:38not
26:38where's the exponential of negative r
26:42divided by
26:44lambda
26:45let's see if i keep going
26:46uh h hat equals
26:49negative h bar squared over over over over um
26:54two times the mass of the nucleus uh times the location operator

32:52You're a viral sensation? Who knew, not me.
32:54Poof, I'm six inches tall.
32:56Who knew? Not me.
32:58Keeping secrets was your idea.
33:00I think you're taking that to the extreme.
33:03I think you're taking that to the extreme.
33:05You're delusional.
33:06You're delusional.
33:08I can't lose you, Liddy.
33:10No more traps, Lass.
33:12Liddy? Is that you?
33:17Mom!

33:52Hey.
33:54Hey.
33:56Hey.
33:57Hey, it's okay.
33:58You just fainted.
34:01I saw her.
34:04Saw who, Mom?
34:05Lindy.
34:07She...
34:08She was so small.
34:10Yeah, Lindy's not here.
34:11Remember, Mom?
34:12I saw her.
34:13Like...
34:14Like a little doll.
34:15She was...
34:16She was like a real-life little Lindy doll.
34:18I think you mean one of Lulu's little dolls.
34:20No, no, no.
34:21I know what I saw, and I...
34:23Yeah?
34:23I saw her on...
34:24On TV, too.
34:26No.
34:27Lulu?
34:27No, no.
34:28Lulu's not here either, Mom.
34:29Lulu's not here.
34:30I think you're a little confused.
34:31No, I'm not confused.
34:32Yeah.
34:32You're lying to me.
34:34I am your mother.
34:36Tell me the truth.
34:37Okay.
34:37Okay.
34:39Um...
34:39Come on.
34:40Come on.
34:40Sit down.
34:41Come on.
34:42Come on.
34:42Just sit.
34:43Sit.
34:43So, um...
34:44Okay.
34:44So, um...
34:46Okay.
34:46So, this is...
34:48This is hard.
34:49What?
34:49This is hard.
34:50But the truth...
34:51Yeah?
34:53The truth is...
34:56Um...
34:56That I put a painkiller in your tea,
34:59and hallucinations are a side effect.
35:01So, there is no tiny Lindy.
35:03You won't?
35:03Yeah.
35:04Why?
35:05When?
35:06Because of your back.
35:07Because I know it's been bothering you,
35:09and I wanted you to relax, and...
35:10Go ahead.
35:11You...
35:12You drugged me?
35:13What kind of...
35:14Son drugs his own mother?
35:17Concerned, son.
35:18No.
35:19No, no, no.
35:19You're not sorry.
35:21You are manipulating and controlling and a liar.
35:25And you are without a doubt your father's son,
35:27which breaks my fucking heart.
35:29What?
35:30Whoa!
35:31What?
35:32I failed.
35:33I'm...
35:33I'm guilty.
35:34I tried.
35:35I tried to protect you from this.
35:37From...
35:38From what?
35:39From becoming your father.
35:41My...
35:42Well, I'd say you overdid it.
35:44Huh?
35:45Because I was invisible.
35:46Huh?
35:46And I still am.
35:48Yeah, that's what fucking drives me, and that's fine.
35:50But Dad is a kind and fair...
35:53An asshole.
35:55Who keeps me on a tight leash.
35:57But...
35:58I have made my peace with that.
36:01And my marriage is not your marriage.
36:04Whatever you have done to Lindy, and I mean whatever you have done to her.
36:08She is not me.
36:10She needs to be off the leash.
36:12She needs to be free out of anyone's control.
36:15I don't know what you are hiding, but you are not remodeling.
36:19And if you are lying to me, I'd bet the farm you are lying to her and yourself.
36:24Mom.
36:25Mom, I love you.
36:26No, no.
36:27You love you.
36:29What is it your Dr. Carmichael says?
36:31Dig deep.
36:32If I were you, I'd start digging deeper than you've ever dug before.
36:36Find the truth.
36:38Keep on lying.
36:39Keep on burying.
36:40And you will lose her, if you haven't already.
36:44She was going to leave me.
36:46It was an accident.
36:46No, there are no accidents.
36:50Isn't that a chapter in your doctor's book?
36:54Tell her.
36:55Tell her what you did.
36:57Tell Lindy everything.
37:00Because until you are honest, you are fucked, dear.
37:20And that's the complete and honest truth of it.
37:25And I love you, Lindy.
37:28And I need you, Lindy.
37:31And I miss you.
37:52Where's Grandma?
37:56Uh...
38:00She left.
38:03This isn't about Grandma, is it?
38:08Mom left you.
38:14She left us, didn't she?
38:25I'm trying to hear you, and see you, and be honest with you, if you're ever going to forgive me.
38:31And the truth is...
38:33The truth is that I was scared.
38:36You were going to leave me, and I didn't want to lose you.
38:39And so, um...
38:43I miniaturized you.
38:46On purpose.
38:47I did it.
38:50And that's the complete and honest truth.
38:52I miniaturized you.
38:55On purpose.
38:56I did it.
38:58Miniaturized you.
38:59On purpose.
39:00I did it.
39:02Miniaturized you.
39:03On purpose.
39:04I did it.
39:04I did it.
39:04On purpose.
39:05I did it.
39:07I miniaturized you.
39:09On purpose.
39:09I did it.
39:10I miniaturized you.
39:11On purpose.
39:12I did it.
39:13I miniaturized you.
39:14On purpose.
39:15I did it.
39:16I miniaturized you.
39:16I did it.
39:17I miniaturized you.
39:18On purpose.
39:18Oh, my God.
