08:25Bad news.
08:26The, um,
08:26the phone is out of battery.
08:27That, um...
08:29Why didn't you get the charger?
08:40Oh!
08:41Ah!
08:41Just a thought,
08:42don't kill the messenger.
08:43How about,
08:44we just...
08:45We're not getting a laptop.
08:48No, no, no.
08:49We are going to go get the charger,
08:51because the charger equals independence.
09:00He should have used a more sensitive trigger.
09:02You need to let it go, Richie.
09:04We're not going for the laptop.
09:06Les!
09:07We got to hide it.
09:08Huh?
09:09The couch.
09:10Oh, wait for me!
09:12Wait for me!
09:14Les.
09:21Les.
09:23Les.
09:24It's okay.
09:25It's okay, dear.
09:26It's me.
09:27It's Mum.
09:28Oh.
09:30Are you having a nervous breakdown?
09:34It...
09:34It's okay with you.
09:37I could call Lindy.
09:40Which...
09:42You're in the wrong zone!
09:43What?
09:43You've got to be in the less zone.
09:45This do not walk outside the less zone.
09:47Les?
09:47Yes.
09:48Keep your voice down.
09:49Let me check your shoes.
09:50Oh, God.
09:51Oh, good.
09:52Oh, good.
09:52She's not there.
09:53She's not there.
09:54Les.
09:54Les.
09:55Yeah.
09:56I am very worried about you.
09:58No, Mum.
09:58I'm fine.
09:59I'm fine.
09:59I'm okay.
09:59I'm good.
10:00I'm good.
10:00We...
10:01I'm just...
10:01I've been remodeling the house for Lindy as a surprise.
10:05Oh.
10:06Yeah.
10:06Yeah, yeah.
10:07And I'm worried about you.
10:09Being up here, it's dangerous.
10:10So we should go...
10:11We should go downstairs.
10:11Come on, come on.
10:12Yeah.
10:13I think you are unwell.
10:15No, it's fine.
10:15It's the fumes.
10:16It's the fumes from the floor.
10:18That's the whole thing.
10:19What?
10:19Okay.
10:19All right.
10:20Okay.
10:21So we're on the move.
10:23And then we're gonna go downstairs in the last zone.
10:27No!
10:27You've got to stay!
10:28Mom, you've got to stay in the last zone.
10:29Oh, in the last zone.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Okay.
10:31See?
10:32We're good.
10:32See?
10:33The last zone.
10:34That's it.
10:34Down we go.
10:35We're going down.
10:36Okay.
10:36We gotta move.
10:38Richard!
10:39Huh?
10:39Yeah.
10:41You know, I...
10:45I miss my mom.
10:48Uh...
10:48Yeah.
10:49Les...
10:50Les has a really good mom.
10:52You know?
10:53Nancy, uh...
10:54She shielded him from reality too much.
10:56And also from his dad, though, who was...
10:59Wow.
11:00But Nancy, no, she's a...
11:02Yeah, she's a mom-mom.
11:04Kinda always wished I had imagined...
11:08What would I be like if I...
11:12Did have...
11:13Hmm.
11:15I think I need a minute.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Yeah, we can...
11:20We can take a minute.
11:27Okay, mom.
11:29So, you know, we agreed last night with a change of plans, and Magoo's with Lindy, and I'm...
11:33I'm working, and Lulu's here at home, but she's in and out, and she's doing her thing,
11:38that, you know, you should... you should probably just... you should go home.
11:41Okay?
11:42Okay?
11:43Les.
11:44Yeah?
11:45I don't believe you.
11:46Which part?
11:47Every part, dear.
11:49Every part, dear.
11:49I'm acting perfectly normal!
11:51The last minute remodeling, the fumes that I did not smell, the less zone, Lindy's disappearance.
11:59Lindy's disappearance?
12:00That's a little dateline.
12:01The husband was the last one to see her.
12:03She's at the gray house, mom.
12:06Okay?
12:07Other than that, I do not see my behavior as bizarre.
12:09I am working really hard.
12:11I am very stressed out, and I'm not sleeping very well.
12:16But I'm fine, mom.
12:17I'm fine.
12:18Okay?
12:19You're fine.
12:20Sure, dear.
12:21When you're ready to talk, I'm right here.
12:24We talked, and I'm good.
12:26But it is too dangerous for you here.
12:28Okay?
12:29I promise that I will stay downstairs, away from these fumes.
12:34But I am not leaving until I know you're okay.
12:37One last thing.
12:39Yes, love.
12:39When was the last time you showered, dear?
12:47Okay.
12:48Woo!
12:48Let's get that charger.
12:49Now you just have to scale the vertical surface using the floss like a rock climber would a rope.
12:55And just...
12:56All the way up.
12:57I can't do one pull-up, Richie.
13:00But you have the power of the square cube law behind you.
13:04See?
13:04Why even pause?
13:06Just explain.
13:07All right.
13:08Simple math.
13:09As our size decreased, our proportional strength, that increased.
13:13It's like, um, ants.
13:15I fucking hate ants.
13:17Yes, but ant math is never wrong.
13:19Okay.
13:19Well, you're tiny too, so you do it.
13:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:23But...
13:24This is your independence.
13:26Math is freedom.
13:28Freedom is independence.
13:29Go.
13:33Right.
13:36It's gonna...
13:38Yeah, it's not gonna...
13:39What are you...
13:40What are you doing?
13:41I'm conjuring my inner freedom math.
13:44This is exciting.
13:47Should we hide?
13:48No, no.
13:48I'm walking through the foyer in the less zone.
13:51I'm leaving for the lab, but I'd still love to hear from you.
13:54Wait.
13:55Wait.
13:57Now I've opened the front door.
13:59Martin.
13:59You never answer your phone.
14:01Martin.
14:02We're in the clear.
14:03He's never letting Martin in here.
14:04Yeah, but mom, mom, mom, mom...
14:05Mom is in the basement and she's a rule follower.
14:07She'll stay there.
14:08It's Lulu.
14:10We don't have eyes on Lulu, so...
14:13Tick tock.
14:14You gotta help me.
14:15Oh, yeah.
14:15I'm gonna help you.
15:01Intense.
15:07I remember the moment I discovered my mother was a liar.
15:11Too intense.
15:12You're too intense.
15:15You.
15:16Me.
15:18Why?
15:20Roommate.
15:22Well...
15:23Sure.
15:24Stop.
15:25What?
15:25You suck.
15:26You probably suck more.
15:28Okay, so I was a dick.
15:30Sorry.
15:31You didn't insult me.
15:32Oh, you don't go to Forest Park?
15:33No, I do.
15:35I just don't give a fuck about what you think.
15:38Who's Wendy Pressett?
15:42Wendy?
15:43What?
15:44Yeah, she left a pretty hefty bar tab last night.
15:48She sounds like a good time.
15:50You both had whiskey sours.
15:52She paid for your tab, but then left her credit card.
15:56Huh.
15:56Okay, why don't you just fucking say it?
15:59Credit card fraud.
16:05So, what is this?
16:06Is this a shirtless citizen's arrest?
16:11No badge.
16:13No badge.
16:13Nowhere to pin it.
16:14I'm only asking.
16:16Only you asking?
16:18Only me.
16:19Good.
16:20It's a stupid question anyway.
16:32Okay, I'm gonna go.
16:35Well, happy reading, Wendy.
16:41You ran out saying someone could be dead.
16:43Yeah, Lindy is having a hard time.
16:46Is she sick?
16:47No, she's unwell.
16:48Oh.
16:49Look, I am happy to stay with Lindy.
16:52No, she's at the Grey House.
16:53But you rushed home.
16:55She left this morning because she's emotionally unwell.
16:58Oh, right.
16:59Yeah.
17:00Should she be alone?
17:01No, Gary and Meg are nearby.
17:03It's a lot, Martin.
17:04It's a lot to keep in my head, okay?
17:05Yeah, yeah.
17:06Quad for Les.
17:07Herbal tea for Martin.
17:09Bob?
17:11Oh, fuck!
17:13Another quad for Les.
17:17Is that Mills with Bob?
17:22Another quad for Les.
17:37Gap!
17:38Gap!
17:38Gap!
17:38Gap! Gap! Gap! Gap! Gap!
17:40Gap! Gap! Gap! Gap!
17:45Keep going!
17:53Almost there.
17:58Yes!
17:59You did it!
18:03Oh, I love math!
18:05I know, right?
18:06It's like, it's never wrong.
18:09And the charger?
18:10On it!
18:13OK.
18:28Let's go.
18:31Big smile, ready, ready, and...
18:35OK, all right.
18:37Ready?
18:37Ready, ready, ready?
18:39Three, two, one...
18:41Merry Christmas!
18:43A dollhouse!
18:44It's just like our home!
18:46Yeah, Daddy's been working on this for months.
18:48Well, it was Mommy's idea.
18:50Well, I knew you liked the one Steffi had.
18:53This is way better than Steffi.
18:55And look, the lights work, see?
18:57Whoa!
18:58Wait, wait, who do we have here?
19:00Me and you.
19:01Oh, where's Daddy?
19:02He's at work.
19:03Yeah, arguing with the mean people from Monsanto and the Organic Produce Alliance.
19:08Mommy's at home.
19:09Oh, yes, but Mommy is in her office, working.
19:14No, but Mommy's watching TV.
19:18No, Mommy is at her desk, writing.
19:23No.
19:25She's watching TV.
19:35I'm the architect of my own prison.
19:41Not anymore.
19:50OK.
19:52You got the sound.
20:02Lindy!
20:02You all right?
20:04Yeah!
20:06Whoo!
20:23Oh, shit.
20:26Oh, shit.
20:27I'm fine.
20:32I'm fine.
20:38Grandma.
20:39Oh, you are a sight, dear.
20:43I'm hungover, Grandma.
20:45Huh?
20:45And I'm not the legal drinking age.
20:47Do you hate me?
20:49Never, dear.
20:50I appreciate your honesty.
20:52Don't lose that quality.
20:53Yeah, I think I was a little too honest last night.
20:56Oh, well, booze will do that.
20:59I'm so glad you're here.
21:00I don't even know or care why.
21:03Ah, crossed wires with your dad.
21:06Have you told him fuck science yet?
21:09Grandma!
21:10Your words.
21:11Or that you flunked out of college.
21:15Sounds worse when you say it.
21:17Is that not accurate?
21:19No, it's just...
21:23Fuck.
21:25What do you got there?
21:26Oh, Mom's book.
21:29Apparently, I'm just like her.
21:31Well, I take that as a compliment.
21:34I don't think that's how she meant it.
21:36I think you'll be surprised.
21:50Morning, Bob.
21:53Oh, I didn't see you.
21:54But I saw you.
21:57Neals.
21:58Lattes.
21:59Plural.
22:01I can explain.
22:02Yes, you can.
22:03And you will.
22:04I know you can't help yourself, Bob.
22:07Technically speaking, I did not break the conditions stipulated in my NDA.
22:11I answer questions solely related to my brother-in-law and his experiences at MedBot.
22:16Then why are you so nervous, Bob?
22:19My brother-in-law alleges that once Hilton's company became the primary investor, they illegally acquired his tech.
22:25Illegally acquired?
22:28Oh, you know, as per my attorney, I must qualify, allegedly, Hilton's legal chicanery is airtight.
22:34And I mean airtight.
22:35How did Hilton illegally acquire your brother-in-law's tech, Bob?
22:40Well, they closed drinks.
22:41I had my brother-in-law removed.
22:43Allegedly.
22:43Allegedly.
22:46Gentlemen.
22:47We don't see you.
22:48We need to talk.
22:50Really?
22:50Not you.
22:51Less you.
22:52It's important.
23:02Okay.
23:03The Today Show.
23:05I need to make a new first impression tomorrow morning.
23:11What?
23:14Okay, for your information, I gave Jackie Baldwin extensive notes.
23:19No one would even care about the story if it didn't have my name on it.
23:23Les took everything from me.
23:25Look at me.
23:25I'm, I could be six inches tall forever.
23:28So I need this.
23:29I need this one thing.
23:31I tried.
23:32Okay?
23:33Writing is hard.
23:34And the pressure on a second book after winning the...
23:38I mean, it's paralyzing.
23:40I'm on my own.
23:45I need you to tell me it's okay.
23:49Please.
23:52Tell me...
23:54I'm independent.
23:57Tell me it's my turn.
24:00Tell me.
24:01It's mine.
24:04Me.
24:05Me.
24:06The Bordeaux.
24:09How's the second book coming?
24:12It's not.
24:13But it will.
24:14Do you remember how much Gary and I struggled when we were first starting the artisanal vitamin business?
24:19It was...
24:19Oh, like nine and a half months before we made a single sale?
24:23Nine and a half months before we made a single sale.
24:26Yeah, but look at this now.
24:27Barely able to keep up with Domain.
24:29Yeah.
24:29And it is absolutely going to be the same for you.
24:32Same for you?
24:34No, it's not.
24:36It's not the same at all.
24:38It's absolutely not the same at all.
24:43How is little Lulu?
24:45Oh, yes.
24:46How was her Christmas?
24:47Oh, we knocked her out of the park.
24:49Best parents ever.
24:50Show them.
24:50Show them the pictures.
24:52Oh, yeah.
24:52You should see this dollhouse.
24:54Oh, well, there she is.
24:56Huh?
24:56Oh.
24:57Amazing.
24:57What a sweetie.
24:59What a sweetie.
25:00So, Les, what have you been working on these days?
25:02I mean, R.I.P. GMO Tomato.
25:04Oh, yeah.
25:05Yeah.
25:05R.I.P. GMO Tomato.
25:07But it did bring you success, though.
25:09You know, it did bring you some success.
25:11Well, I do have a little germ of an idea, which I'm pretty excited about.
25:16Oh.
25:17You do?
25:18Yeah.
25:19It's early days, but I think I can say confidently that it does have the potential to change the world.
25:25It has the potential to change the world.
25:27I like the sound of that.
25:28I like the sound of that, too.
25:30But, honey, it's my turn.
25:32Remember?
25:34Well, actually, it's still my turn, sweetheart.
25:38I do remember.
25:40Sorry, we don't.
25:42What is the turn saying?
25:44Oh, well, we take turns supporting each other.
25:46So, he supported me through my first book, and I supported him through the first tomato.
25:50And now it's my turn again.
25:52And he needs to support me for the second book, see, turns.
25:55No, because your turn won you the Pulitzer, and my turn has yet to win me the Nobel.
26:01The Nobel.
26:03I mean, honey.
26:05Are you joking?
26:07Honey.
26:07Not at all.
26:08I'm not at all.
26:09But the Nobel, I mean, that could be never.
26:13That's how turns work, right?
26:15That's...
26:16Your turn ended with the tomato that put you on the science map, but then went splat,
26:22followed by your imminent termination from Monsanto,
26:24followed by our housekeeper finding him naked, crying on the bed.
26:28Oh.
26:30Depression.
26:31It's a bitch.
26:33Mm.
26:33Yeah.
26:35Oh, you know what?
26:36Should we take a visit to the Arch?
26:38Ooh.
26:39The Arch.
26:40The Arch.
26:41The Arch.
26:42How dare you tell Gary and Meg about my naked crying?
26:46Huh?
26:46That was me at my most vulnerable.
26:48That was a secret between us.
26:49How dare you tell them your germ of an idea before me?
26:53Especially one that's got me trapped in St. Louis.
26:55And it's your turn until you win the Nobel?
26:58That's new.
26:59Not everyone, Lindy, lucks into their prize on the first try.
27:03Luck?
27:03You know what I mean.
27:05I think I do.
27:09Point is, how can I trust you if you're going to...
27:11Expose me like that.
27:13Don't trust me then.
27:14Just don't tell me anything ever again.
27:16Fine.
27:16I won't.
27:16Good.
27:17Me too.
27:17Great.
27:18Secrets from now on.
27:19Secrets.
27:19We need a secret.
27:20Love a secret.
27:23But it is my turn.
27:32My fucking turn.
27:33It's my fucking turn.
27:38My fucking turn.
27:50I can't take any more bad cat news.
28:02So is this behavior normal?
28:04I don't know how to feel.
28:04You should feel good.
28:05Really?
28:07Mr. Magoo has diabetes.
28:09I stabilized his blood sugar and he's going to be fine.
28:12So the seizures have nothing to do with miniaturization.
28:14Completely unrelated.
28:15So she's going to live.
28:17I mean, he.
28:17He.
28:18He's going to live.
28:18There is more good news.
28:20Look.
28:26That is a sample of Mr. Magoo's muscle tissue.
28:29The rapid expansion process might cause fragmentation in the atomic bonds, leaving them too fragile
28:35to hold.
28:38So we need to we need to slow the reaction to allow the nuclei time to form stronger bonds.
28:48Stronger bonds are fundamental in the expansion of any fragile connection or alliance.
28:55Oh, I agree.
29:03We need a neutron moderator.
29:12V.
29:14R.
29:17Equals V naught.
29:19That is the exponential of.
29:21Negative R.
29:23Divided by lambda.
29:25Let's see if keep going.
29:27H hat equals negative H bar squared over over over over two times the mass of the nucleus
29:37times the location operator.
29:41And V multiplied by R.
29:45Yes.
29:45Oh, God.
29:46God.
29:46This is what I've been missing.
29:48I think we should check them out.
30:03Mom is a good writer.
30:06Like, good.
30:08Well, she won an award, dear.
30:10I know, but I didn't know, no.
30:13Like, look, the book is really funny, but it's also deeply sad.
30:20Grandma, it's making me.
30:21I mean, there's just so much I'm connecting about mom, grandma Diane, me.
30:31It's like I might need to rethink my thoughts.
30:35You're coming of age reading about your mom coming of age.
30:41That's deep, grandma.
30:43Grandma.
30:58Grandma, turn on channel five.
31:02We are talking to Pulitzer Prize winning author Lindy Littlejohn about her sensational new
31:07short story, Untitled On Purpose.
31:09What?
31:10Lindy looks terrific.
31:13Lindy, could you possibly have expected the reaction to be anything like this?
31:16Oh, Jenna, I, nothing about this experience is what I expected.
31:22The story is just so-
31:23Mom wrote something?
31:24I always knew she would.
31:26Did you know you were writing something so provocative?
31:29You know, everything I write provokes someone, right, Jenna?
31:34Very true.
31:35Yeah.
31:35You famously fictionalized your difficult relationship with your mother and My Rainbow
31:40Starts With Black, one of my all-time favorite books.
31:44Oh, thank you.
31:45I've got to ask you, did you base this story on your real life, too?
31:48So the book is true.
31:50You know, Jenna, I just think everyone does their best writing when they're not worried
31:53what other people think.
31:55That's the office.
31:56Upstairs.
31:58I thought she was at the Grey House.
32:00So did I.
32:02Lindy Littlejohn, thank you so much for being here.
32:04Oh, thank you, Jenna.
32:05It's been wonderful talking to you.
32:07Please turn this story into a book.
32:09I'll think about it.
32:10Okay, bye-bye.
32:19I killed it!
32:23You have to write the book.
32:25Oh, my God, I feel like I have another chance.
32:27I could write something.
32:28I could write something great.
32:30You already have.
32:31Yes, Les supported me, but I wrote.
32:34I am a writer, right?
32:36I'm here.
32:37I can support you.
32:38I feel like me again.
32:39Richie, this is...
32:42Like, where have I been, you know?
32:44Like, I've been here the whole time.
32:46And it's like I forgot.
32:48I forgot.
32:49I was right here.
32:53I'm a writer.
32:56Wait, are you crying?
32:58No.
32:59You're a little.
33:01Me too.
33:16Mom?
33:18Mom?
33:20Mom?
33:21Mom?
34:00By Jackie Baldwin?
34:03What the fuck?
34:26Yes.
34:28Were you here all night?
34:29Oh, shit.
34:30Lindy.
34:31Wait, what time is it?
34:32Oh, okay.
34:33So you're new.
34:35So everything's okay now?
34:36Yeah.
34:37Yeah.
34:38I admit, there's a little something between us, but nothing happened.
34:41We had a breakthrough.
34:42Oh.
34:42Well, she looked great on the Today Show.
34:44Vivian?
34:45Lindy.
34:46Lindy?
34:48Vivian.
34:48Who's on what?
34:50Lindy was on the Today Show this morning.
34:54How did she...
34:56What did she look like?
34:57What?
34:58What?
34:58What?
35:22Lindy.
35:23Lindy, Lindy, Lindy, Lindy, where are you?
35:38Right here Les, and I can take care of myself.
35:45Yeah, clearly you're on the fucking today show.
35:48I'm worried sick.
35:49I'm working all night.
35:50Poof, you're writing again.
35:51You're a viral sensation, who knew, not me.
35:53Poof, I'm six inches tall.
35:55Who knew, not me.
35:57Keeping secrets was your idea.
36:00I think you're taking that to the extreme.
36:02I think you're taking that to the extreme.
36:04You're delusional.
36:05You're delusional.
36:08I can't lose you, Lindy, I can't.
36:10No more traps, Les.
36:12Lindy, is that you?
36:17Mom!
36:18Dad?
36:21What's going on?
36:23Oh my God, Grandma.
36:25Is she dead?
36:26No, she just fainted.
36:27Quickly, run to the pharmacy, get some bromides.
36:30What the fuck are bromides?
36:32Google it.
36:33She's having one of her spells.
36:34Grandma has spells?
36:35Yes, she's old.
36:37Hurry up.
36:39Hurry, hurry, hurry.
36:42Mom!
36:46Okay, Mom.
36:47Okay, Mom.
36:48Oh, here we go.
36:49Mom?
36:51Mom, it's okay.
36:53Hey, Mom.
36:54Hey, Mom.
36:58Hey, Mom.
36:59Hey, Mom.
37:00Hey, Mom.
37:00Hey, it's okay.
37:01You just fainted.
37:04I saw her.
37:05I saw her.
37:06Saw who, Mom?
37:08Lindy.
37:10She...
37:11She was so small.
37:12Yeah, Lindy's not here.
37:13Remember, Mom?
37:15I saw her.
37:16Like...
37:17Like a little doll.
37:18She was...
37:18She was like a real life little Lindy doll.
37:22You mean one of Lulu's little dolls, Mom?
37:24No, no, no.
37:24I know what I saw and I...
37:26Yeah?
37:26I saw her on...
37:28On TV, too.
37:29No.
37:30Lulu?
37:31No, no.
37:31Lulu's not here either, Mom.
37:33Lulu's not here.
37:34I think you're a little confused.
37:35No, Mom.
37:35I'm not confused.
37:36Yeah.
37:36You're lying to me.
37:38I am your mother.
37:40Tell me the truth.
37:41Okay.
37:42Okay.
37:43Um...
37:43Come on.
37:44Come on.
37:44Sit down.
37:46Come on.
37:46What?
37:46Just sit, sit.
37:48So, um...
37:48Okay.
37:49So, um...
37:50Okay.
37:51So, this is...
37:52This is hard.
37:53What?
37:54This is hard.
37:55But the truth...
37:56Yeah?
37:58The truth is...
38:01Um...
38:01That I put a painkiller in your tea.
38:04And hallucinations are a side effect.
38:06So, there is no tiny Lindy.
38:08You want?
38:09Yeah.
38:09Why?
38:10When?
38:12Because of your back.
38:13Because I know it's been bothering you and I wanted you to relax and...
38:16Yeah.
38:16You...
38:17You...
38:18You drugged me?
38:19What kind of...
38:20Son drugs his own mother?
38:23Concerned son, huh?
38:25No.
38:25No, no, no.
38:26You're not sorry.
38:27You are manipulating and controlling and a liar.
38:31And you are without a doubt your father's son which breaks my fucking heart.
38:36What?
38:37Oh.
38:37Whoa, what?
38:39I failed.
38:40I'm...
38:40I'm guilty.
38:41I...
38:42I tried.
38:42I tried to protect you from this.
38:45From...
38:45From what?
38:46From becoming your father.
38:48My...
38:49Well, I...
38:50I'd say you overdid it.
38:52Huh?
38:52Because I was invisible.
38:54Huh?
38:54And I still am.
38:55Yeah, that's what fucking drives me and that's fine.
38:58But dad is a kind and fair...
39:01An asshole.
39:03Who keeps me on a tight leash.
39:06But...
39:06I have made my peace with that.
39:09And my marriage is not your marriage.
39:12Whatever you have done to Lindy.
39:14And I mean whatever you have done to her.
39:17She is not me.
39:19She needs to be off the leash.
39:20She needs to be free out of anyone's control.
39:24I don't know what you are hiding.
39:26But you are not remodeling.
39:28And if you are lying to me, I'd bet the farm you are lying to her and yourself.
39:33Mom.
39:34Mom, I love you.
39:36No, no.
39:37You love you.
39:39What is it your Dr. Carmichael says?
39:41Dig deep.
39:42If I were you, I'd start digging deeper than you've ever dug before.
39:46Find the truth.
39:48Keep on lying.
39:49Keep on burying.
39:50And you will lose her.
39:51If you haven't already.
39:55She was going to leave me.
39:56It was an accident.
39:57No, there are no accidents.
40:00Isn't that a chapter in your doctor's book?
40:04Tell her.
40:06Tell her what you did.
40:08Tell Lindy everything.
40:11Because until you are honest, you are fucked, dear.
40:33And that's the complete and honest truth of it.
40:37And I love you, Lindy.
40:40And I need you, Lindy.
40:42And I miss you.
40:57And I miss you.
41:02And I miss you.
41:15She left.
41:16She left.
41:17This isn't about grandma, is it?
41:23Mom left you.
41:29She left us, didn't she?
41:41I'm trying to hear you and see you and be honest with you if you're ever going to forgive me.
41:47And the truth is, the truth is that I was scared.
41:52You were going to leave me and I didn't want to lose you.
41:55And so, um, I miniaturized you.
42:02On purpose, I did it.
42:07And that's the complete and honest truth.
42:09I miniaturized you.
42:12On purpose, I did it.
42:15Miniaturized you.
42:16On purpose, I did it.
42:19Miniaturized you.
42:20On purpose, I did it.
42:25Miniaturized you.
42:26On purpose, I did it.
42:28Miniaturized you.
42:29On purpose.
43:05On purpose, I did it.
43:06Miniaturized you.
43:06On purpose, I did it.
