00:00:21James, hey, wake up.
00:00:23Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:55Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:01:04There's somebody in the house.
00:01:06James, wake up.
00:01:08James, wake up.
00:01:09Wake up, James.
00:01:11There's somebody down here.
00:01:13There's somebody in the house.
00:01:16Look at me.
00:01:17Look at me.
00:01:41Good morning, husband.
00:01:46Good morning, wife.
00:01:49I didn't know you were up.
00:01:52Wife.
00:01:52I didn't think I was the, hey, we're in Vegas, let's get hitched kind of girl.
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:58Well, here we are.
00:01:59Oh, damn right.
00:02:05I got you something.
00:02:08You did?
00:02:11It's just a little post-wedding gift, a small token of my love.
00:02:17Babe, I didn't get you anything.
00:02:20You gave me everything.
00:02:26Go ahead.
00:02:27Open it.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:38Wow.
00:02:41You said you had a watch like it in your 20s that you lost, so.
00:02:46Yeah.
00:02:48I can't believe that you remembered that story.
00:02:56You're welcome.
00:03:00Wow.
00:03:05So, is Mara cool with this, with us, you know, getting married now?
00:03:11I think so.
00:03:13I mean, we're going to have to do something more formal with her sometime soon, but.
00:03:17Absolutely.
00:03:18My mom is going to move in a minute, so, you know, we can all celebrate our love together.
00:03:23I don't like the sound of that.
00:03:26Hmm.
00:03:28What time's our flight?
00:03:29Uh, it's at noon, so I'll go pick her up and, look, I really, I can't thank you guys
00:03:33enough for letting her stay with us.
00:03:36It means a lot.
00:03:37I just moved in.
00:03:39Now, you've got two of us to deal with.
00:03:41We're family.
00:03:44I mean, I guess it was a little bit weird, but you and I tied but not, and I haven't
00:03:47even met your mom, but.
00:03:49Yeah.
00:03:50Yeah, and she's just, uh, Maggie's been too sick to travel lately.
00:03:55I'm telling you, Kristen, diabetes can be a real bitch.
00:04:01And I should warn you, I can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:05Well, I'm sure I can handle her.
00:04:09And I know I can handle you.
00:04:25Your form is so good.
00:04:31Look, I don't, I don't mean to ruin your workout.
00:04:34I just want to check in on you.
00:04:35Oh, no, it's no worries.
00:04:36It was just about done.
00:04:39I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:41Where is he?
00:04:41Oh, he's speaking to his mother up at the airport, remember?
00:04:44Oh, yeah.
00:04:44That's today.
00:04:46You two have been a couple for, like, what, six months now?
00:04:50I cannot believe you haven't even met his mom.
00:04:53Well, I think that this way, isn't it awesome we get to meet her together?
00:04:58Yeah, sure.
00:04:59Why not?
00:05:01Honey, look, I know I've asked you this a bunch of times, but you're, you're not upset,
00:05:07right?
00:05:07I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:09No.
00:05:11No, I just, I think that maybe it feels a little, soon.
00:05:18I usually reserve that term for bad jokes about tragedy, but, yeah, maybe a little.
00:05:26But you like him, though, right?
00:05:28James?
00:05:29No, yeah.
00:05:30I really do.
00:05:32I see the way that he treats you.
00:05:33It's very sweet, and I think that you deserve it, but, like you said, it just, it happened
00:05:42so fast, and I feel like you're still pretty vulnerable after everything that happened last
00:05:46year.
00:05:49Maybe.
00:05:51Maybe.
00:05:52Honey, I'm an adult, and I know what's right for me.
00:05:56I am so much better than a year ago.
00:06:01You know, you and James are a big part of why.
00:06:09Heck, you know, between my loving daughter and my new husband and my shrink, I'm pretty
00:06:14much as good as new.
00:06:15I know how terrible it all was, but honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:25I have no idea that if there's one, that's one too many.
00:06:48Mom, I would like for you to meet my gorgeous and generous wife, Kristen, and her awesome
00:06:55and equally generous daughter, Mara.
00:06:57This is my mom, Maggie.
00:07:00It's so nice to finally meet you, Maggie.
00:07:02Welcome to our home.
00:07:05Yeah, our casa is your casa.
00:07:10Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:14Mom, come on.
00:07:16Be nice.
00:07:18Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23You're welcome.
00:07:25We're happy to have you.
00:07:26Yeah, we are happy to have you, Mom.
00:07:28Let's sit down.
00:07:30Isn't that nice?
00:07:36I'll try not to be too much trouble.
00:07:39Oh, I'm sure I'll be no trouble at all.
00:07:43Say cheese.
00:07:44What are you doing?
00:07:46Just taking your picture.
00:07:48Why?
00:07:49Why?
00:07:49How dirty?
00:07:50I hate having my photo taken.
00:07:52Put that thing away now.
00:07:54It's okay.
00:07:55It's okay, Mommy.
00:07:56It's okay.
00:07:57Why don't I go get some refreshments?
00:07:59Hey, Mara, would you help me?
00:08:00Oh, yeah, sure.
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:01Great.
00:08:02Let's leave these two to get a little better acquainted.
00:08:04Mm, great.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:09So, it's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:17Well, you got a good-sized house here, Kristen.
00:08:20Oh, thanks.
00:08:22A bit tacky for my taste, but that's neither here nor there.
00:08:26Good for you, living high on that hog.
00:08:29You get the money from your first husband or something?
00:08:34Um, no, actually, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:42For the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:46Is that right?
00:08:47What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:51I'm a divorce attorney.
00:08:53Ah, got it.
00:08:56So, while all those miserable, desperate people are suffering right there in front of you,
00:09:01you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:06I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:08Oh, no, of course not.
00:09:10I'm just kidding.
00:09:13So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:17Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was, you know, the one who suggested that we do it on the
00:09:22spot.
00:09:24Was the wedding nice, or what?
00:09:27Because this mother of the groom never saw a damn photo.
00:09:33Here you go.
00:09:34Now we're family.
00:09:36All of us.
00:09:39Isn't that wonderful?
00:09:42Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:09:44See?
00:09:45Look at you two.
00:09:46I knew it.
00:09:47A couple peas in a pod.
00:09:48Mmm.
00:09:50Mmm.
00:09:53Mom, is everything okay?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55I'm, uh, great.
00:09:57This is gonna be so much fun.
00:09:59Mmm.
00:10:06Uh, you wanted to see me?
00:10:08Come here.
00:10:08What's up?
00:10:09Come here.
00:10:10Yeah?
00:10:10Look, I just...
00:10:12What's going on?
00:10:17Kristen, just say it.
00:10:18Did your mother say anything to you about me?
00:10:22Just that she was thankful that you opened up your home to her.
00:10:27Really?
00:10:27She said that?
00:10:30I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much, and I have no idea what
00:10:33I did wrong.
00:10:33Okay, I don't...
00:10:34What happened?
00:10:35I mean, was it something in her tone, maybe?
00:10:37More like something in her words.
00:10:40Ah, Chris, I don't know.
00:10:41She's just from a different era?
00:10:43And yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:47Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart.
00:10:50And it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you.
00:10:55And see what you're made of.
00:10:57Great.
00:10:57I got an F on the first day.
00:10:59Look at me.
00:11:01Relax, okay?
00:11:03I love you.
00:11:04And Mara.
00:11:06And yeah, this happened really fast.
00:11:09But we have the rest of our lives to take it easy.
00:11:12All of us.
00:11:13So let's just, you know, let Maggie get used to her new surroundings.
00:11:17And I promise, this is all going to work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:39What are you doing here?
00:11:41Well, maybe I just want to see that pretty face of yours.
00:11:44What do you want, Ross?
00:11:47Your request for child support is kill me, baby.
00:11:51Excuse me, baby?
00:11:53You know I don't have that much money.
00:11:55Shrinks make way more money than private investigators.
00:11:58Well, it's not my fault.
00:11:59You know I hate the word shrink.
00:12:00You know, I don't even know why we're getting divorced.
00:12:03Because you slept with your secretary, remember?
00:12:06Right.
00:12:08Hi.
00:12:10Good morning.
00:12:11Sorry, did I make a mistake?
00:12:12Is this not my hour?
00:12:13No, no.
00:12:14I'm sorry.
00:12:14Kristen, of course it is.
00:12:16I'll call you later.
00:12:17I know you will.
00:12:21Please, come in.
00:12:23Thanks.
00:12:27Apologies again, Kristen.
00:12:29That's my soon-to-be ex, and he...
00:12:31Oh, never mind.
00:12:33I'm sure you hear about this divorce stuff all day long,
00:12:35and that is not at all the reason you're here.
00:12:39How are you doing?
00:12:41I'm, uh...
00:12:42I'm okay.
00:12:43You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:52James' mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so...
00:12:55You have someone new living in your house.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59She, um...
00:12:59She has diabetes, and she has to use a walker to get around.
00:13:03That poor woman, that's awful.
00:13:05What's she like?
00:13:06She doesn't like me, I can tell you that much.
00:13:09How do you know?
00:13:10I don't know, I'm just...
00:13:12The way that she looks at me, you know, I'm just cold,
00:13:16dismissive.
00:13:18The first time we met, she said something to me
00:13:19about my quickie wedding with her boy.
00:13:22Oh, sounds to me like she's just a little hurt
00:13:24that she didn't get to see you two get married.
00:13:26Mm, it sounded more to me like she was upset
00:13:28she didn't get to stop it.
00:13:31Well, mothers-in-laws, the new brides, butting heads,
00:13:34that's not exactly an uncommon thing, but, um...
00:13:37How's your mind doing otherwise?
00:13:41I'm, uh, I'm good.
00:13:44You know, I mean, I haven't had any nightmares
00:13:47the past few months.
00:13:48Mm-hmm.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business
00:13:52without looking in every direction for some guy
00:13:55creeping up behind me, and I don't know,
00:13:58you know, I can just...
00:14:00breathe, I guess.
00:14:02You know, it's...
00:14:04What all things?
00:14:06Not so little newsflash.
00:14:08I mean, your stalker actually made it into your house.
00:14:12That's terrifying.
00:14:16I know, I know.
00:14:17I just, um...
00:14:19I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:21Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:24Lots of people out there would have experienced
00:14:27some kind of breakdown from that.
00:14:29If you ask me, you're doing great.
00:14:34Thanks, Dr. Lewis.
00:14:37Thanks to you, you know.
00:14:40And, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:50I actually got up and spit it out.
00:14:52Oh, okay.
00:14:53All right.
00:14:54Gotta be careful with him if you're watching.
00:14:56I don't want...
00:14:58Hey, girly.
00:14:59Hey.
00:15:00What's up, kid?
00:15:01I'm just waiting for Michael to come pick me up.
00:15:03We're gonna go grab a bite to eat.
00:15:04Oh?
00:15:04And who is this Michael person?
00:15:07He's my boo.
00:15:08Your boo?
00:15:09Is he a damn ghost or something?
00:15:12Mom, she's talking about her boyfriend.
00:15:14And I happen to like the kid.
00:15:18That must be him.
00:15:21Michael, you can come in.
00:15:22We're in the living room.
00:15:26There he is.
00:15:27Hey.
00:15:27What's up, James?
00:15:29Well, my spirits.
00:15:30Now I got my lovely mother here in one piece.
00:15:33Or two.
00:15:34How's it hanging, kid?
00:15:35I'm Maggie.
00:15:37Michael, and it's hanging just fine, I guess.
00:15:41Your mama actually allows you to have boys over when she's not home?
00:15:46I'm 19.
00:15:47Exactly my point.
00:15:48Like little rabbits at your age.
00:15:50Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Where is Kristen anyway?
00:15:55Uh, she is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:16:01You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off.
00:16:06It's, uh...
00:16:08Therapy.
00:16:09It's like a weak sauce on a feeble sandwich.
00:16:13It's a little harsh.
00:16:15I don't think it's weird for her to get help after everything she's been through.
00:16:18Oh?
00:16:20And...
00:16:21What happened?
00:16:23Do you know what?
00:16:24I'm starving.
00:16:25Should we go?
00:16:25Let's do this.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:27Hey, Michael.
00:16:28Come here.
00:16:29I've got something to tell you.
00:16:38I've got to lean in if I'm going to tell you.
00:16:41Boo!
00:16:42Oh.
00:16:46You're a strange one, Maggie.
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:48Always have been.
00:16:49Always will be.
00:16:51Hey, come on, Michael.
00:16:52Let's go.
00:16:54Cheers.
00:16:56You two have fun.
00:17:20She was doing so well after everything that happened.
00:17:23I think the last thing she needs is this lady picking at her and making her crazy.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:44Sorry.
00:17:47No.
00:17:49No.
00:17:50No.
00:17:52No.
00:17:53No.
00:17:54No.
00:17:56Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.
00:17:59Oh, my God. Are you serious?
00:18:01Steve, do me a favor. You call building management.
00:18:04They really need to get out of the game and have security around here.
00:18:06I mean, that is unacceptable.
00:18:07Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:18:10I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:13You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:19Well, yeah.
00:18:21Well, how close did the guy get to you? Was he like a car in the land?
00:18:25No, no, not that close.
00:18:27I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:31But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:35Yeah, you're making valid points.
00:18:40Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:58This is Kristen.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:06Hello?
00:19:23This is Kristen.
00:19:28Hello?
00:19:31Who is this?
00:19:42Stop calling me!
00:19:44Wow.
00:19:45Well, hello to you, too.
00:19:47Hi, James.
00:19:49Is everything okay?
00:19:51Yeah, yeah, I just...
00:19:52I kept getting this unknown number, and then when I answered, no one was there, and...
00:19:58You know what?
00:19:59Uh, never mind.
00:20:00Everything's fine.
00:20:02Good.
00:20:03Well, uh, Mara is out to dinner with Michael.
00:20:06I am done returning my client calls for the day, and it's just Mom and I here.
00:20:10We were wondering when you'd be coming home.
00:20:12I think she misses you already.
00:20:14Um, uh, soon.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:17See you soon.
00:20:18Bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:37You can't be serious.
00:20:39It's not gonna be for long, okay?
00:20:41Just a few months, max.
00:20:43A few months?
00:20:44Mara, I'm talking to two realtors who are looking for apartments for us right now in L.A.
00:20:49Well, Michael, I don't know what you want me to say, okay?
00:20:51I can't just leave her alone right now.
00:20:54She's a grown woman who can...
00:20:55Got the daylight scared out of her by some maniac at her spin class?
00:21:00Yeah, like a year ago.
00:21:04Oh.
00:21:05I'm sorry.
00:21:06I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea.
00:21:10Okay.
00:21:10She was getting constant phone calls every single day.
00:21:14This psychopath was leaving these very disturbing messages talking about how they were soulmates
00:21:19and how they were meant to be together and she should just give in to fate.
00:21:22Oh.
00:21:23Calling her all the time.
00:21:25Following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:27He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was gonna be.
00:21:29I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:33Jesus, you never talked about it much.
00:21:36I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:39Frightening?
00:21:42The dude broke into our house.
00:21:46And that's the night that she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:51Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most, I was at some stupid house party playing beer pong.
00:21:58You know, if I would have been there, who knows?
00:22:01Maybe I could have helped her keep it together.
00:22:04Mara, you can't blame yourself for that.
00:22:07Can't I?
00:22:08Just a little?
00:22:11I mean, I do feel responsible.
00:22:15That's why I've been sleeping at home again.
00:22:18Yeah.
00:22:20Don't remind me.
00:22:22Look, it's just gonna be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:28So, whatever happened to that spin class stalker anyways?
00:22:31The police came, they carted him away, but, you know, unfortunately by then,
00:22:35some real damage had already been committed.
00:22:38And was she, like, committed?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:44Briefly.
00:22:44Just a couple of days, but...
00:22:47Since then, she's just been getting by with support from friends and family.
00:22:51Well, it's a good thing she has a daughter like you, then.
00:22:55James was a really big help, too.
00:22:57Huh.
00:22:58Yeah, I like James.
00:23:00Me, too.
00:23:01I don't know.
00:23:02There's always something different about him.
00:23:05You know, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but...
00:23:07At least he's been a positive force in my mom's life.
00:23:15Hey, Maggie.
00:23:18Kristen.
00:23:21You demolish any marriages today?
00:23:27You know, three or four, the usual amount.
00:23:31What are you doing?
00:23:33Solving the conflicts in the Middle East.
00:23:35It's a lot harder than I thought.
00:23:37What does it look like I'm doing?
00:23:41I'm playing Solitaire, right?
00:23:45I guess I just met.
00:23:46How's it going?
00:23:49What did you say the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:54And how many people usually play it at one time?
00:23:59Just... just one.
00:24:01Huh.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:04Hmm.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08I'm not really sure.
00:24:10He's...
00:24:11doing some errands or something.
00:24:14Hmm.
00:24:17What's wrong?
00:24:18You're looking a little frantic.
00:24:21No, I'm fine.
00:24:22It's just...
00:24:31What's the matter?
00:24:32You're not going to answer it?
00:24:37Hello?
00:24:42Hello?
00:24:43Hello?
00:24:50No one there?
00:24:52No, there's not.
00:24:59No.
00:24:59No, you don't.
00:25:01No.
00:25:02Where are you rushing off to?
00:25:06I saw you!
00:25:08I saw you!
00:25:16Hey, Mom, what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even touched your food.
00:25:21Oh, yeah, don't mind me.
00:25:22I'm just a little stressed out for some reason tonight.
00:25:26There's nothing wrong with that.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28No, of course not.
00:25:31Are you...
00:25:31Are you getting any more of those calls
00:25:34that we were talking about today?
00:25:37Are you?
00:25:40You know I did.
00:25:42What calls are they talking about?
00:25:45I get unknown callers all the time.
00:25:47I mean, it could be anybody.
00:25:49For all we know, it could be just a super-dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:52Yeah.
00:25:53I mean, it could be.
00:25:55Except, you know, a major part of telemarketing
00:25:57is actually talking to the person you're trying to reach.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:00I'm sure it's nothing.
00:26:02Well, if it's nothing,
00:26:04why did your lovely new bride race out into the backyard afterwards
00:26:07like her pants were on flippin' fire?
00:26:10Mom, you did?
00:26:13You did that, babe?
00:26:15Why?
00:26:16I...
00:26:17I thought I saw somebody out there.
00:26:21And?
00:26:23And I was wrong.
00:26:26It's okay.
00:26:27It's really okay, Mom.
00:26:28Mom, does all this have something to do with your breakdown last year?
00:26:36My James told me that you came close to losing your marbles.
00:26:42I...
00:26:42I did not.
00:26:43I did not say that.
00:26:44Mom, would you please be...
00:26:46Interested in my daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:48I thought that's the reason why I came,
00:26:50was for all of us to get to know each other.
00:26:53Well, you could be a little nicer.
00:26:55And I could be from Kalamazoo, but I'm not.
00:26:58I am who I am.
00:27:01One of the great benefits of getting to know each other,
00:27:04and believe me, there aren't many,
00:27:06is being able to say that and know for sure that it's 100% true.
00:27:13Look.
00:27:15I'm sorry.
00:27:17I didn't come here to be anyone's thorn.
00:27:21So if you want me to leave, I will.
00:27:28No.
00:27:29No, Maggie.
00:27:30I...
00:27:31I wouldn't have that.
00:27:33Hey, we're...
00:27:34We're family now.
00:27:36Right?
00:27:39Do I have the greatest wife, or what?
00:27:45Oh, you know, will you guys excuse me?
00:27:47Mom?
00:27:48No, Mara, I'm fine.
00:27:49I just need to get some fresh air.
00:27:51Do you want me to go...
00:27:52No, no, no, no.
00:27:52You guys, uh, just relax.
00:27:56I don't really blame her.
00:28:00It's a nice night out there.
00:28:18Hey, hey.
00:28:20Oof.
00:28:21Maggie.
00:28:22She's, uh...
00:28:24She's sick, Mara.
00:28:25We should be pitying her and not judging her.
00:28:28Well, we're not the one licking down our noses.
00:28:33Look, Mom, I know that I keep asking you this, but...
00:28:35Are you okay?
00:28:38Yeah, don't worry about me.
00:28:40That's not an answer.
00:28:42Okay, well, you know, for you it is.
00:28:46Look, I know I'm the reason that you put off your move with Michael.
00:28:49Mom.
00:28:49No, Mara, I don't want you putting your life on hold for me.
00:28:53Well, you know, I don't want you back in that place.
00:29:00What do you say we, uh, go inside and show us me all the middle of this one?
00:29:03I mean, uh, you know, it's still cool to say chill out.
00:29:06No.
00:29:07No.
00:29:09But I can show you how to do that.
00:29:10Good.
00:29:11Show me some cool water to still.
00:29:25Oh, hey.
00:29:27Listen, I wanted to thank you for making the John Handicap Friendly.
00:29:33Maybe you could, uh, take a hint?
00:29:36Come again?
00:29:38Look, you could show a little bit more kindness around here.
00:29:42Okay?
00:29:44And as far as the bathroom upgrade goes, you can thank your son for that.
00:29:49Yeah, but I'm talking to you.
00:29:52And it seems like you have something to say.
00:29:56Is it about your mother?
00:30:00Maggie, my mom has done nothing but show kindness to you.
00:30:03Including giving you a room, a board.
00:30:07And, you know, I see her trying to make it work.
00:30:11She's not tough like you.
00:30:13And you see that, so I'm just...
00:30:16Honestly, I'm really not sure why you have to make it so hard on her.
00:30:20Well, you call it hard.
00:30:22I call it helpful.
00:30:25Yeah, the worst thing you can do is indulge someone's fantasies when they're not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:34You think she's enjoying this?
00:30:36Well, there you go, using the dirty definition.
00:30:40But when you actually break the word down,
00:30:43what it really means is that someone has seen something that's not there due to a psychological need.
00:30:50So what are you saying?
00:30:51Well, I'm saying that's a good thing she's seeing a head doctor.
00:30:54Just saying.
00:30:58Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:31:02I know how I can come off sometimes.
00:31:07But maybe if you just try to see the situation through my eyes,
00:31:12the way you're being protective of your mother is kind of how I feel about my son.
00:31:20And I might not be around very much longer.
00:31:24In fact, it could be sooner than later.
00:31:28So I...
00:31:30I guess I'm...
00:31:31I'm just trying to make sure that she can do what needs to be done before I'm gone.
00:31:38I get it.
00:31:40I do.
00:31:41It's just...
00:31:42It's a lot.
00:31:44Yeah, so is a mother's love.
00:31:55Well, it's time for me to get to bed.
00:31:58You have a nice night now.
00:32:00Okay?
00:32:01Night.
00:32:03Night.
00:32:05Night.
00:32:19To be continued...
00:32:51To be continued...
00:33:06I'm so sorry...
00:33:08I'm so sorry...
00:33:10I'm so sorry...
00:33:40There you go...
00:33:42You look exhausted...
00:33:44Thanks, Steve...
00:33:45That was the look I was going for...
00:33:48Did, uh, Rebecca Palmer confirm for this morning?
00:33:51Uh, she should be here in a few minutes
00:33:53Great, just enough time to get caffeinated
00:33:55Let me know when she arrives late
00:33:57Sure thing
00:33:58Oh, hey
00:33:59I just spoke with the building manager
00:34:01Oh, what do you say?
00:34:02Basically, he said he follows all the protocols in the book
00:34:04But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint, you're more than welcome
00:34:09No, that's okay
00:34:10I feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill
00:34:13So, let's just put it behind us
00:34:15Sounds good to me
00:34:34Hey, Steve?
00:34:35Yeah?
00:34:38Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:40Um, not that I know of
00:34:42Why?
00:35:01Yes?
00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's here
00:35:04Uh, thanks
00:35:08You okay?
00:35:10Yeah, yeah
00:35:11Can you, uh, show her in, please?
00:35:14All right
00:35:15It's great to see you
00:35:16Mm-hmm
00:35:16How are you today?
00:35:18I, uh, am getting a big fat divorce
00:35:20How good can I really be?
00:35:22All right, well, let me see if I can make it a little easier for you
00:35:25We'll, uh, let me start with...
00:35:31Sorry, I should have this on silent
00:35:33Yes, you should
00:35:36It's been a bit hectic
00:35:37My mother-in-law's been staying with us
00:35:40Looks like someone really wants to talk to you
00:35:44Hmm, apparently
00:35:50Uh, okay, so, um
00:35:52Were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:55Yes, I did
00:35:56I, I emailed that to you three days ago
00:35:59Right, yes, of course you did
00:36:05And maybe this is a bad time
00:36:07No, no, no, no, no, I'm...
00:36:12Oh, my God
00:36:15What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm, I'm sorry, Rebecca
00:36:18Will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:36And by the time I came back into my office, the client was already gone
00:36:40Oh, God, what am I saying? She's probably an ex-client by now
00:36:42Well, I'm sorry that, that happened, Kristen, but, uh, this, this second stalker, don't you think that's unlikely, based on
00:36:52the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice?
00:36:55Well, lucky me, you know, two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women
00:36:59Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:37:00Now, start from the beginning
00:37:02Now, you received some calls from an unknown number
00:37:05And no one was talking back to you
00:37:07Right, and, and, and then there was somebody who was following me in the parking lot at work
00:37:12And, and then outside of my house
00:37:15And now you've received a rose, you said, that was left on your office desk this morning?
00:37:20And a text asking me if I liked it
00:37:23Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah
00:37:27Damn it
00:37:28What?
00:37:29I forgot, I was just freaked out when I saw the message, I deleted it
00:37:32That's okay
00:37:33Oh, God, I feel like I'm losing it again
00:37:35Easy, easy
00:37:37Now, last time we sat down, you said you were under extra pressure at home from your mother-in-law
00:37:42moving in
00:37:45Maggie
00:37:46I take it, well, that's not going well
00:37:48I mean, I don't
00:37:50I get that she's sick, you know, and so I'm, I'm trying to just roll with it
00:37:54But she is relentless in her passive, not so passive aggression towards me
00:38:00And the timing on it all, it couldn't be more worse with this new situation
00:38:07Do you think I'm going crazy again?
00:38:09A, you didn't last time, and I don't like that word
00:38:12And B, no, but I think you're pushed pretty close to your limit right now
00:38:18Now, how have you been sleeping?
00:38:21Not great
00:38:22So you're tired, your brain is playing little tricks on you
00:38:25And those phone calls, those could be legitimate wrong numbers
00:38:30Yeah, and the text, like, that I can't show you
00:38:33And the rose, that could be James trying to surprise you
00:38:36Or, you know what, you could have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach
00:38:40out
00:38:41But, um, nothing wrong with being extra cautious
00:38:43You see, these things keep happening
00:38:46You call me, or
00:38:48You call the police
00:38:49So, Dr. Liz, you
00:38:52You think I could have this talker again?
00:38:54Come on
00:39:23Man

00:39:56you know mentally

00:49:56That means a lot to me.
00:50:09I'm going to bed.

00:50:51Okay, we're here.
00:50:52I don't know.
00:51:33I don't know.
00:51:52I don't know.
00:52:21I don't know.
00:52:39I don't know.
00:52:44I don't know.
00:52:46I don't know.
00:52:51I don't know.
00:52:59I don't know.
00:53:05I don't know.
00:53:06I don't know.
00:53:20I don't know.
00:53:27I don't know.
00:53:32I don't know.
00:53:32I don't know.
00:54:08I don't know.
00:54:13I don't know.
00:54:15I don't know.
00:54:16I don't know.
00:54:30I don't know.
00:54:45I don't know.
00:54:46I don't know.
00:55:06I don't know.
00:55:08I don't know.
00:55:13James.
00:55:14Hey, wake up.
00:55:17Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:19Hey.
00:55:21Hey.
00:55:36Hey.
00:55:41Oh, my God.
00:56:22Oh, my God.
00:56:38Oh, my God.
00:56:39Please.
00:56:39Please, hurry.
00:56:40Answer, please.
00:56:41911.
00:56:42What's your emergency?
00:56:43My name is Justin Walker.
00:56:44I live at 618 Northfield Avenue.
00:56:46I think somebody broke into my house.
00:56:47Ma'am, are you alone?
00:56:48No, no.
00:56:49My daughter's here.
00:56:50And my husband and my mother-in-law.
00:56:52Get everyone together.
00:56:53I'm sending a car right away.
00:56:55Okay.
00:56:55Okay.
00:56:56Oh, my God.
00:56:57Oh, my God.
00:57:25Oh, my God.
00:57:28There's somebody's house in here.
00:57:29It's me.
00:57:29It's me.
00:57:31It's me.
00:57:31It's me.
00:57:32No, no, no.
00:57:34There's no one in the house.
00:57:35There's no one.
00:57:35It's just me.
00:57:36It's just me.
00:57:37Look at me.
00:57:37Look at me.
00:57:37Look at me.
00:57:38It's just me.
00:57:39It's just me.
00:57:40It's okay.
00:57:41It's okay.
00:57:43What is it?
00:57:43No, no, no.
00:58:02Hi, Denise.
00:58:02I was going to call you.
00:58:04How's Kristen Walker doing?
00:58:05I'm looking at her right now.
00:58:08She's actually very calm.
00:58:09I really like her.
00:58:11Yeah, me too.
00:58:12Thanks for squeezing her in.
00:58:14I'd hate for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital, even for a few days.
00:58:18It was a close call.
00:58:20I know.
00:58:21She needs a lot of help, Denise.
00:58:23I know.
00:58:24Well, she's going to be evaluated again next week by the state, but I'm feeling pretty confident
00:58:29we should get her home by the end of the month.
00:58:30From your mouth to God's ears.
00:58:33Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks him through these things.
00:58:35I just give him a place to stay.
00:58:37And bless you for that.
00:58:41Oh, um, Cheryl, I gotta go.
00:58:44I'll check with you later.
00:58:46Hi.
00:58:48Damn it!
00:58:49Will you calm down?
00:58:51Calm down?
00:58:52Where did this halfway house for crazies come from?
00:58:55They were supposed to commit her.
00:58:57Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:00Oh, damn it.
00:59:02All right, I say we find a way to take her out while she's there.
00:59:05You're the husband.
00:59:06You should get the money.
00:59:08We are crooks.
00:59:09We're not murderers.
00:59:11And sometimes we do both.
00:59:13Or did I just dream about what happened at that bar, Mr. Stabby?
00:59:16That was necessary.
00:59:18This is not.
00:59:20I'm sorry I have to ask, but this is the second stalker?
00:59:24You think this is like a real thing?
00:59:26I don't know, but they can't find any evidence of someone breaking in or leaving the house, so...
00:59:32All I know is that my mom was doing a lot better before Maggie got here.
00:59:35The timing of all this, it could be coincidental, but...
00:59:38Well, do you have any pictures of James and his mother?
00:59:42Text her to me, will you?
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:58You know, you got me confused.
01:00:01One more time.
01:00:03Did you come into this woman's life to love her or to rob her?
01:00:08Don't worry about me.
01:00:09I'm a pro, okay?
01:00:12But we do not need to hurt these people.
01:00:15Let's say that I agree with you.
01:00:17There are too many other people in that support house.
01:00:19We don't even know the floor plan.
01:00:21All right, fine.
01:00:23But if I see you siding with them instead of us, all bets are off.
01:00:30All right, big shot.
01:00:31So what in the hell do we do now?
01:00:34We wait till she comes back here, and we turn up the gas.
01:00:38Damn it!
01:00:39You gotta be kidding me.
01:00:41And what do we do with Mara in the meantime?
01:00:43I don't know.
01:00:45Maybe it's time that we try Max's kill-em-with-kindness routine.
01:00:50Fine.
01:00:51As long as she's not on to us.
01:00:53Question is, what are you prepared to do if she is?
01:01:02Yes?
01:01:03It's me.
01:01:04Come in.
01:01:06You see what I did?
01:01:08I called first, so I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
01:01:11I'll keep that in mind.
01:01:13But, um, what if I need you for some of your old tricks?
01:01:19Oh, a real dog doesn't forget the old stuff.
01:01:21What do you got?
01:01:22If I text you, um, some pictures, you think you can find out what you can about a couple of
01:01:26people?
01:01:26I mean, I'll-I'll owe you one.
01:01:28And considering what you owe me.
01:01:32Well, I don't mind you owing me one.
01:01:34Those are some of my favorite nights, Denise.
01:01:36Don't start.
01:01:38All right, text me to pics.
01:01:40I'll get right on it.
01:01:57It may be dangerous or even life-threatening.
01:01:59Family history may increase likelihood.
01:02:02In some cases, a combination of medications can work better.
01:02:05Anyone with this disease will need lifelong insulin therapy.
01:02:08I'll get right on it.
01:02:09I don't know.
01:02:46I don't know.
01:03:32I don't know.
01:03:37I don't know.
01:03:37No, no, sorry.
01:03:39My toilet's clogged, so I just figured I would use the one in here.
01:03:42Do you mind?
01:03:44Mind?
01:03:44It's your house, girly.
01:03:46You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:49Tinkle.
01:03:50It's funny.
01:03:52I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:04You sure you don't want me to come?
01:04:05I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:08It's a keg walk compared to what she's going through.
01:04:11Thank you for driving me.
01:04:13I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:15Anybody would be.
01:04:17James didn't want to come?
01:04:19I didn't tell him I was coming.
01:04:22I just...
01:04:22I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:26I know that you like James.
01:04:27Hey, Mar, I barely know the guy.
01:04:30And quite honestly,
01:04:31nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:34Yeah.
01:04:36Speaking of mothers.
01:04:38Good luck in there.
01:04:47You must be Mara.
01:04:49Cheryl.
01:04:49Come on in.
01:04:50How's she doing?
01:04:51She's a little out of it because of the medication,
01:04:53but better overall than you're probably thinking.
01:04:55Okay, has she talked about what happened?
01:04:57No, but she hasn't said much of anything since she got here.
01:05:00Something tells me she'll be really happy to see you.
01:05:03Kristen?
01:05:04You have a visitor.
01:05:05Hi, sweetheart.
01:05:06Hi, mom.
01:05:07I'll let you two catch up.
01:05:09I'll be in the kitchen if you need me for anything.
01:05:11Thanks, Cheryl.
01:05:11Mm-hmm.
01:05:14Honey, I'm okay.
01:05:15Okay, I'm fine.
01:05:16Really, I just...
01:05:17I had a bad night.
01:05:18I'm so sorry.
01:05:20No.
01:05:21I can't believe I slept through it again.
01:05:22I let you down again.
01:05:24No.
01:05:24No, you didn't.
01:05:27And I am not sorry.
01:05:28You can't.
01:05:29I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:31No.
01:05:32Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:35Yeah.
01:05:39I woke up because I thought I heard something, but then I listened and there was nothing there.
01:05:46So I...
01:05:49I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
01:05:52And so I figured I would just, like, go online.
01:05:54And I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:05:59So I went downstairs.
01:06:01And I saw that the door was open.
01:06:04So I called 911.
01:06:07And then I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:12So you actually saw someone?
01:06:14I...
01:06:14I...
01:06:15I think so.
01:06:16I...
01:06:16I mean, it was this shadow.
01:06:19At least, Mara.
01:06:20I swear to you, trust me, there was somebody in there with me.
01:06:23I believe you, but...
01:06:25You know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:29Oh, I'm...
01:06:30No.
01:06:30James was asleep.
01:06:32And Maggie can't even get around.
01:06:34She couldn't have done that.
01:06:36So either I...
01:06:37I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:44Or, you know, I'm, um...
01:06:47I'm losing my mind.
01:06:50No.
01:06:51Mom, you're not.
01:06:52Okay.
01:06:53We're gonna figure this out.
01:06:54Together.
01:06:54I promise you.
01:06:56We will figure this out.
01:06:57Mara, I'm sorry.
01:06:58I'm so sorry.
01:07:00I'm so sorry.
01:07:01Mom, don't be sorry, please.
01:07:03We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:05Promise.
01:07:06I love you.
01:07:07I love you.
01:07:17Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:19Yeah.
01:07:20It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:23Come on.
01:07:24Let's get out of here.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:46Come on.
01:07:47A little faster, please.
01:07:55I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:01Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:05All right by me.
01:08:08Okay.
01:08:27So, what happened?
01:08:30Well, I mean, she had a breakdown.
01:08:34You know, a mental one.
01:08:36Mm-hmm.
01:08:37While you were...
01:08:38I was sleeping.
01:08:39I mean, I was sleeping at first.
01:08:41And so, she started screaming.
01:08:43She was screaming so loud.
01:08:44I rushed down as fast as I could.
01:08:46But she'd already called the police by that point.
01:08:48And she was totally hysterical.
01:08:50There was nothing I could do.
01:08:53And you?
01:08:54You just...
01:08:54You slept through the whole thing?
01:08:57Oh.
01:08:58Well, same as you, dear.
01:09:00I always sleep like a log.
01:09:03I don't.
01:09:04Ever.
01:09:05But I guess the insulin helps you sleep.
01:09:07Because you take it every day, right?
01:09:10That's right.
01:09:12I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:14Oh.
01:09:15Well, you think I poke myself in the living room between commercial breaks on the TV?
01:09:22No.
01:09:24I do it in my room alone.
01:09:29I went to see her today.
01:09:31I know.
01:09:32How do you know?
01:09:33Well, because I called the recovery house.
01:09:36I spoke to this very nice woman.
01:09:39Cheryl is her name.
01:09:40Yeah.
01:09:40She seemed very kind.
01:09:42Yeah, she is.
01:09:43I thought today might be too soon to go see her.
01:09:45So, I called over there to ask Cheryl when I could spend a couple hours with my wife.
01:09:50She suggested that I come by tomorrow morning.
01:09:53Oh, you're such a sweet boy.
01:09:56A sweet boy who lets his mother run all over his newlywed wife.
01:10:00Mara, I did not do that.
01:10:02Yeah, you did.
01:10:03That's not very nice.
01:10:05And you have the nerve to call it some sort of tragic play?
01:10:09You're the one who's helping her write the damn thing.
01:10:11I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:10:13Hmm.
01:10:14Really?
01:10:15Pushing her a little here.
01:10:17Pushing her a little there.
01:10:18Making her uncomfortable in her own home.
01:10:20Look, Mara, I understand that you're upset.
01:10:24We all are upset.
01:10:26Oh, really?
01:10:27Because you guys don't seem upset at all.
01:10:29Flipping kids these days, I swear.
01:10:33Hey, what happened to having some respect for your elders?
01:10:38You say respect like you have one ounce of it.
01:10:42You know, this is a joke.
01:10:45I'm going to stay with Michael until we figure out what it is that we need to do.
01:10:49Don't you want anything to eat?
01:10:51Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:10:57So how do you think this is going?
01:11:00I don't know.
01:11:20I don't know.
01:11:21I don't know.
01:11:22I don't know.
01:11:56I don't know.
01:12:30I don't know.
01:13:02Hey Ross, getting back to you on that photo.
01:13:04Names you gave me don't match the ones I found.
01:13:06And it gets worse.
01:13:07Both have been arrested in the past, separately, for running cons down south.
01:13:11Give me a call back.
01:13:12I'll tell you what I know.
01:13:19This is Denise Lewis.
01:13:20I can't take your call right now.
01:13:22Leave me a message and I'll get back to you just as soon as I can.
01:13:26If it's an emergency, call 911.
01:13:29Denise, here's your emergency.
01:13:31You see, my deep dive guy got back to me.
01:13:34Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:13:39They could be dangerous.
01:13:41So call me when you get this.
01:13:44Two questions.
01:13:45What are you doing in our house?
01:13:48And what exactly do you mean by dangerous?
01:13:51I know what you and your son are doing here, lady.
01:13:54Are you sure about that?
01:13:55Maybe you should ask him.
01:14:08So what is this now?
01:14:10This?
01:14:10This is your plan going from bad to worse.
01:14:13I mean, he said we're not who we say we are, dummy.
01:14:17I mean, who's he talking to?
01:14:20Kristen Shrink.
01:14:21Oh, damn it, Hope.
01:14:26Is he?
01:14:27Yeah.
01:14:28I had to.
01:14:29I had no choice.
01:14:30What the hell are we going to do now?
01:14:32I don't know, Maggie.
01:14:33This is your plan.
01:14:35I know that.
01:14:37All right.
01:14:38What we need to do is we'll go...
01:14:39Oh, just shut up.
01:14:41Shut up.
01:14:42Okay, we pack her stuff.
01:14:45And we get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:14:53Okay?
01:14:53Agreed.
01:14:54We're just lucky that little bitch isn't around right now.
01:15:24Get home safe, Phillip.
01:15:25I'll see you next week.
01:15:26Sure thing.
01:15:32Denise, here's your emergency.
01:15:34My deep dive guy got back to me.
01:15:36Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:15:39That could be dangerous.
01:15:40Oh my God.
01:15:49Denise, hi, you're on speaker.
01:15:51How's Kristen?
01:15:51She's good, keeping mostly to herself, but peaceful enough considering the last couple
01:15:56of days.
01:15:57Just listen to me.
01:15:58I got a message from my ex.
01:16:01This patient of mine and her daughter, they're in real trouble with these people.
01:16:05What did he say?
01:16:07Well, I don't know the details, but he's a private investigator.
01:16:11He was looking into the husband and the mother, and he said they're not who they say they are.
01:16:17Wait, what?
01:16:18Wait, what?
01:16:18Oh my God.
01:16:28I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:50I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:17:01Yes, that will be fine.
01:17:05Are they both home?
01:17:07I think so.
01:17:09All right, so let's go out there, grab our jewelry box, and get the hell out of here.
01:17:13No, I'll go grab it really quick.
01:17:14You just stay here, and then we'll go together.
01:17:16Okay, well, you should hurry.
01:17:18Oh, really?
01:17:18Because I was going to make a quick sandwich first.
01:17:20This is you hurrying.
01:17:22Oh.
01:17:31You're welcome.
01:17:31Come on.
01:17:32Come on.
01:17:32Come on.
01:17:36Hey.
01:17:37Come on.
01:17:39You're welcome, kid.
01:17:40You're welcome, kid.
01:17:43Come on.
01:17:47Come on, kid.
01:17:50Shhh, go to sleep, kid.
01:17:52Go to sleep.
01:18:42Where the hell are you?
01:18:44We gotta hit the road.
01:18:46You can walk.
01:18:51It's a miracle.
01:18:53It was you.
01:18:55You and James the entire time.
01:18:57Messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:00First of all, girly, that's not our names.
01:19:03And second, it didn't really take that much effort.
01:19:08Only problem was, we didn't go far enough.
01:19:11But those days are over.
01:19:15What do you mean?
01:19:17Why did you have to come back tonight?
01:19:20Get away from her.
01:19:22It's too late for that.
01:19:23No, it's not.
01:19:25We're gonna tie her up, and we're gonna get in the car, and you and I will be drinking margaritas
01:19:30on the beach in Mexico before anybody knows about this.
01:19:33Who put you in charge?
01:19:34I have made myself clear from this.
01:19:36Stop, Jackie.
01:19:37I do not want either one of them hurt.
01:19:39And I've made myself clear I'm not going back to prison.
01:19:44Oh, no!
01:19:44Look what you did!
01:19:46I'll get her.
01:19:47You idiot!
01:19:47You idiot!
01:19:49You idiot!
01:20:09You idiot!
01:20:14Mara!
01:20:17Mara!
01:20:18Mara!
01:20:19Mara!
01:20:19Come on!
01:20:21I'm trying to help you!
01:20:27Michael!
01:20:28Michael!
01:20:32Michael!
01:20:33Michael!
01:20:34Michael!
01:20:35Michael!
01:20:35Michael!
01:20:36Michael!
01:20:37Michael!
01:20:37Michael!
01:20:38Michael!
01:20:38Michael!
01:20:39Michael!
01:20:39Michael!
01:20:39Michael!
01:20:39Michael!
01:20:42Michael!
01:20:43Stand up, girly, real slow.
01:20:49I know it's a shame.
01:20:51There's something about your spirit I kind of like.
01:20:56Even if you were a pain in my ass at every flip and turn.
01:21:00Laura!
01:21:01Laura, get away from my door!
01:21:04Oh, finally something goes right on this job.
01:21:09You fucking fool!
01:21:10Why didn't you do that?
01:21:13Screw this family!
01:21:21Mom!
01:21:22What are you doing here?
01:21:23I heard you were in trouble.
01:21:25Are you okay?
01:21:26I'm okay.
01:21:28What the hell happened here?
01:21:30It was Maggie.
01:21:34It's not her name.
01:21:35It's Jackie.
01:21:37Where's Jackie now?
01:21:39She left the house.
01:21:52I'm so glad you two are here.
01:21:54We are, too.
01:21:55Believe me.
01:21:56Yeah, we kind of need to get out of the house these days anyways.
01:21:59Mm-hmm.
01:22:01Mara's putting her plans on hold a little while longer, but this time I'm not complaining.
01:22:06Neither is my boyfriend.
01:22:07He's being a saint about all of this.
01:22:10Oh, I hear that.
01:22:13Didn't you say I'm so sorry about your ex's passing?
01:22:15You mean his murder.
01:22:17Oh, imagine how sorry you'd feel if you were the reason that he's dead.
01:22:22Come on, don't say that.
01:22:24I'm not.
01:22:25It's true whether I say it out loud or not.
01:22:28Have the police been able to tell you anything else?
01:22:31Well, um, James' real name is Paul Northcutt.
01:22:37I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?
01:22:43Okay.
01:22:44Yes, Mara, he was, but he also saved my life.
01:22:47Mm-hmm.
01:22:49Then he couldn't have been all that bad.
01:22:51And, um, Maggie?
01:22:53You mean Jackie Turner?
01:22:55Yes.
01:22:56According to Rosa's guide, she's been arrested a few times, mostly for short-term cons with James and some with
01:23:03others,
01:23:03but she's a lot more dangerous than her rap she'd hinted at.
01:23:07And we have no idea where she is now.
01:23:09I'm sure she's still out there, just running the same game on another unsuspecting family.
01:23:14Well, she can't hide forever.
01:23:20Would you look at this place?
01:23:22It's enormous.
01:23:26You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:28Are you all right?
01:23:29Maybe I am.
01:23:30A little.
01:23:33I need this to go right.
01:23:35Now, don't worry, honey.
01:23:37Mama's here.
01:23:39I'm going to make sure that man in there is yours.
01:23:43All yours.
01:23:44And soon.
01:23:45Okay.
01:24:01Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:03I'm Bridget.
01:24:03Yes, Landon's mentioned you.
01:24:05Well, he's mentioned you as well.
01:24:07This is my mother, Christine.
01:24:09Hi.
01:24:10Hello.
01:24:10Well, please, come on in.
01:24:14And I'm going to go get Landon for you.
01:24:18Make yourselves at home.
01:24:20You don't have to tell us twice.
01:24:22Wow.
01:24:28I feel like we –
