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.

00:09:55I'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, 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!

00:16:46You'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.

00:16:54Let's go.

00:16:55You 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.

00:17:56Whoa, what's that face?

00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.

00:17:59Oh, my God. Are you serious?

00:18:02Steve, 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?

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.

00:18:46Yes.

00:18:58This is Kristen.

00:19:03Hello?

00:19:06Hello?

00:19:08Hello?

00:19:29Who 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.

00:19:52I kept getting this unknown number, and then when I answered, no one was there.

00:19:56And you know what?

00:19:59Never mind.

00:20:00Everything's fine.

00:20:02Good.

00:20:03Well, 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.

00:20:15Um, soon.

00:20:16Good.

00:20:17See you soon.

00:20:18Bye.

00:20:19Okay, bye.

00:20:38You can't be serious.

00:20:39It's not going to 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.

00:21:11She 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, following her everywhere she went, okay?

00:21:27He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was going to be.

00:21:31I literally watched her fall apart.

00:21:33Jesus, you never talked about it much.

00:21:36I had no idea it was that frightening.

00:21:42The dude broke into our house and 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.

00:22:19Yeah.

00:22:20Don't remind me.

00:22:22Look, it's just going to 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 some real damage had already been committed.

00:22:38And was she, like, committed?

00:22:42Yeah, briefly.

00:22:44Just a couple of days, but since 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.

00:22:58Huh.

00:22:58Yeah, I like James.

00:23:00Me, too.

00:23:01I don't know.

00:23:02There was 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.

00:23:16Hey, Maggie.

00:23:18Kristen.

00:23:22You demolish any marriages today?

00:23:27No.

00:23:27Three or four.

00:23:28Unusual amount.

00:23:30What 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?

00:23:41Playing solitaire.

00:23:42Solitaire, I...

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...

00:23:59Just one.

00:24:01James said you were smart.

00:24:05Where is James?

00:24:08I'm not really sure.

00:24:09Uh, he's...

00:24:11Doing some errands or something.

00:24:17What's wrong?

00:24:18You're looking a little frantic.

00:24:20No, I'm fine.

00:24:22It's just...

00:24:31What's the matter?

00:24:32You're not gonna answer it?

00:24:37Hello?

00:24:42Hello?

00:24:47Hello?

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!

00:25:16Hey, 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, and there's nothing wrong with that.

00:25:27No.

00:25:28No, of course not.

00:25:30Are you getting any more of those calls that 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, I mean, it could be.

00:25:55Except, you know, a major part of telemarketing is 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, why did your lovely new bride race out into the backyard afterwards like her pants were

00:26:09on flipping fire?

00:26:11Mom, you did?

00:26:13You did that, babe? Why?

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.

00:26:29Does all this have something to do with your breakdown last year?

00:26:36James told me that you came close to losing your marbles.

00:26:41I, I did not, I did not say that.

00:26:44Mom, would you please be interested in my daughter-in-law's life?

00:26:48I thought that's the reason why I came, was 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, and believe me, there aren't many,

00:27:06is being able to say that and know for sure that it's 100% true.

00:27:14Look, I'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, no, Maggie, I, I, I wouldn't have that.

00:27:33Hey, we're, uh, we're family now, right?

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, 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, no.

00:27:52You, you 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 she's sick mara we should be pitting her not judging her well we're not the one

00:29:12cool words too

00:29:25oh hey listen i wanted to thank you for making the john handicap friendly

00:29:33maybe you could uh take a hint come again look you could show a little bit more kindness around here

00:29:43okay and as far as the bathroom upgrade goes you can thank your son for that

00:29:49yeah but i'm talking to you and 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 including giving you a room and a board

00:30:07and you know i see her trying to make it work she's not tough like you and you see that

00:30:14so 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 i call it helpful

00:30:25yeah the worst thing you can do is indulge someone's fantasies when they're not thinking straight

00:30:34fantasies you 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 what it really means is that someone has seen something

00:30:46that's not there due to a psychological need

00:30:49so what are you saying

00:30:51well i'm saying that's a good thing she's seeing a head doctor

00:30:55just saying

00:30:58look

00:31:00i'm sorry okay

00:31:02i know how i can come off sometimes

00:31:06but

00:31:07maybe if you just

00:31:09try to see the situation through my eyes

00:31:12the way you're being protective of your mother

00:31:16is

00:31:16kinda how i feel about my son

00:31:20and i might not be around

00:31:22very much longer

00:31:25in fact it could be sooner than later

00:31:28so i

00:31:30i guess i'm

00:31:32i'm just

00:31:33trying to make sure that she can do

00:31:36what needs to be done before i'm gone

00:31:38i get it

00:31:39i do it's just

00:31:42it's a lot

00:31:44yeah so is a mother's love

00:31:53well

00:31:55it's time for me to get to bed

00:32:00okay

00:32:01okay

00:32:02night

00:32:11I don't know.

00:32:45I don't know.

00:33:05I'm so sorry.

00:33:08I'm so sorry.

00:33:10I don't know.

00:33:42You look exhausted.

00:33:44Thanks, Steve.

00:33:45That was the look I was going for.

00:33:48Did Rebecca Palmer confirm for this morning?

00:33:51She should be here in a few minutes.

00:33:53Great.

00:33:54Just 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.

00:34:05But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint, you're more than welcome.

00:34:09No, that's okay.

00:34:11I 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.

00:34:36Yeah?

00:34:38Did my husband drop by here?

00:34:40Um, not that I know of.

00:34:43Why?

00:35:01Yes?

00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's here.

00:35:05Uh, thanks.

00:35:08You okay?

00:35:10Yeah.

00:35:11Yeah.

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.

00:35:23Well, let me see if I can make it a little easier for you.

00:35:26Well, 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.

00:35:45Hmm.

00:35:45Apparently.

00:35:50Uh, okay, so, um, were you able to get the property list together?

00:35:55Yes, I did.

00:35:57I 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?

00:36:26Please.

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?

00:36:41She'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.

00:37:01Now, start from the beginning.

00:37:02Now, you received some calls from an unknown number, and 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, and, and

00:37:13then 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.

00:37:27Oh, damn 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.

00:37:36Easy, 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, I get that she's sick, you know, and so I'm, I'm trying to just roll with

00:37:53it,

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, and those phone calls, those

00:38:27could be legitimate wrong numbers.

00:38:30Yeah, and the text, like, that I can't show you.

00:38:33And the roles, that could be James trying to surprise you, or, you know what, you could

00:38:38have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach out, but, um, nothing

00:38:42wrong with being extra cautious.

00:38:44You see, these things keep happening, and you call me, or you call the police.

00:38:49So, Dr. Liz, you, you think I could have a stalker again?

00:39:27Wow, look at you out here.

00:39:31What's next?

00:39:32You going to clean out the gutters?

00:39:33Put a fresh coat of paint on the house?

00:39:35Yeah, I mean, that's me, Mr. Suburbia.

00:39:39Actually, I'm glad that you're here.

00:39:40I wanted to talk to you.

00:39:43I'm concerned, uh, about your mother.

00:39:47Yeah, me too.

00:39:49That's actually why I wanted to talk to you.

00:39:51Oh, good.

00:39:52I mean, to me, it seems like she's kind of losing it a little, you know, mentally.

00:39:59Yeah, I see it too.

00:40:01Is this how she acted the last time with her breakdown?

00:40:06Yeah, I guess.

00:40:09To be honest, I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time, you know,

00:40:14because I wasn't expecting it, but, uh, I am now.

00:40:17What about this stalker?

00:40:19I mean, do you, do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy?

00:40:23I think that she believes it.

00:40:26And, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot.

00:40:29Yeah.

00:40:29Mentally.

00:40:31You have to talk to Maggie, James.

00:40:32She's making it worse.

00:40:34Yeah.

00:40:35My mom, she, she really knows how to push people's butt.

00:40:39So she declares.

00:40:42If you can't control Maggie, I'm going to have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house.

00:40:47Ugh.

00:40:57Yeah, good.

00:40:59Great.

00:41:00Yeah.

00:41:00I'm, I'm glad we're on the same page with that.

00:41:03100%.

00:41:03Oh, man.

00:41:05Oh, man.

00:41:06We love you, James.

00:41:08I don't know if I ever really thanked you for making my mom so happy.

00:41:13Okay.

00:41:14Well, uh, I'll let you get back to it.

00:41:17Yeah.

00:41:20Oh, you missed a spot.

00:41:22Okay.

00:41:25Good night.

00:41:32Do we have a problem?

00:41:40It's time we go for a ride.

00:41:43I had a feeling.

00:41:58And when I see you with the mother, I swear I can feel the love.

00:42:02So what's wrong with that?

00:42:12This place is empty.

00:42:13Yeah.

00:42:15He's supposed to be meeting us here.

00:42:17Hey.

00:42:18Back here.

00:42:22So I had to start drinking.

00:42:24You know, trailing soccer moms all day.

00:42:27It's thirsty business.

00:42:29We didn't come here to drink with you, Max.

00:42:33What are you still doing with that stupid walk-in?

00:42:37Because, you idiot.

00:42:41I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now, can I?

00:42:48Yeah, yeah.

00:42:50You told me that before.

00:42:51I still don't understand why you used that stupid thing.

00:42:54Because it makes me a sympathetic character, even when I'm acting like a raging bitch.

00:43:00Well, why don't you just kill her with kindness?

00:43:02Because we're supposed to be gaslighting her.

00:43:05It's a delicate act of balance.

00:43:08See, how it works is, somebody, me, puts a target on their heels as much as possible.

00:43:17While someone else, him...

00:43:20Yeah.

00:43:21I hold their hand, look them in the eye, and I say,

00:43:27everything's gonna be all right, baby.

00:43:30Ooh.

00:43:31Get some spinning real good.

00:43:34Well, and then someone else comes along, me, and...

00:43:40...pushes them over the edge.

00:43:41Looks like someone's really enjoying themselves.

00:43:44That's funny, because I was about to say the same thing about you.

00:43:47Ah, guilty as charged.

00:43:50Okay, okay.

00:43:51So I get it.

00:43:53Good con, bad con.

00:43:55I get that whole thing.

00:43:56Why this lady?

00:43:58I came across this blog she wrote about her nervous breakdown last year.

00:44:04Some love-struck fool breaks into her house and drives her crazy.

00:44:10So, I hired this guy to help me double down on it.

00:44:15Yeah.

00:44:16Once we have it committed, I'll be in complete control of her finances.

00:44:21Won't take long.

00:44:22We'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean.

00:44:26And what about the lady's daughter?

00:44:28Yeah, that's why we're here.

00:44:31The little brat is getting real protective.

00:44:34She'll get rid of us soon, if we don't get this done.

00:44:39And chances are she'll be successful.

00:44:43So, we gotta do this thing tonight.

00:44:48Right, son?

00:44:50Right, mom.

00:45:00Mom, yoga's supposed to relax you.

00:45:02Not stress you out more.

00:45:06Honey, you and Michael are supposed to be leaving for L.A. next week.

00:45:10The move has been pushed back a few months, that's all.

00:45:12No, you mean your life is being delayed because of me.

00:45:15No, because, you know, there's been a whole lot of changes around here lately.

00:45:18Oh, sweetheart, I'm gonna be fine.

00:45:20I mean, I know Maggie can be tough, but I've got James to help me handle her.

00:45:25You know, he really does love me.

00:45:27I know.

00:45:28He would never do anything to hurt me.

00:45:30Yeah.

00:45:32Come on, let's take a break.

00:45:34I'm dying.

00:45:34Okay.

00:45:37Your job's done here, Max.

00:45:39It's time for you to get out of Dodge.

00:45:49Looks a little light.

00:45:51I told you the deal when I hired you.

00:45:54You get the rest when we all get ours.

00:46:07Fine.

00:46:07I don't want to be there tonight.

00:46:09When it all goes down.

00:46:11Because otherwise this whole thing is felt like a tease.

00:46:13Nah.

00:46:14That's a bad idea.

00:46:16See, first, you don't know how to lay out of the house.

00:46:19And second, you are a little too stimulated by this whole thing.

00:46:23And I haven't been pushing that flippin' walker for my health, either.

00:46:28I need to push this snowflake over the edge tonight.

00:46:34And she cannot know that I am physically capable of it.

00:46:40So, you can't be anywhere near the house.

00:46:44In fact, I don't even want you in the same state.

00:46:50Okay.

00:46:52Then I'm gonna need some more money.

00:46:55Up front.

00:46:56Not this when and if.

00:46:57The thing.

00:46:59I'm talking about right now.

00:47:04You gotta be flippin' kidding me.

00:47:07It's like my drunk daddy used to say.

00:47:09A little leverage is better than any beverage.

00:47:17Huh?

00:47:18What do you say?

00:47:19Should we go to an ATM?

00:47:20Or what?

00:47:21Because you don't want to go back to prison.

00:47:23I know that.

00:47:24And you do not want me telling people what I know.

00:47:33Okay, Max.

00:47:34You win.

00:47:37Finish your drink.

00:47:39And we'll go get you your money.

00:47:45Dynamite.

00:47:49Dynamite.

00:47:54So, you two.

00:47:56You two ain't angry at me, right?

00:47:58Of course not, Max.

00:48:00Good, because you do the same, you and me, right?

00:48:02Of course I would.

00:48:04Good.

00:48:05Because we're all just terrible people, right?

00:48:07Well, we have to be.

00:48:17Mac.

00:48:29You two.

00:48:31I don't know.

00:49:15I don't know.

00:49:36I don't know.

00:49:36Hey, you love birds.

00:49:39I'm turning in.

00:49:41Okay, Mom.

00:49:44Good night.

00:49:45Yeah, sleep tight.

00:49:47Hey, honey.

00:49:50Thank you for everything.

00:49:52I mean it.

00:49:54Oh, thank you, Maggie.

00:49:56That means a lot to me.

00:50:09I'm going to bed.

00:50:10I'm exhausted.

00:50:12Ah, me too.

00:50:14Yeah.

00:50:15Well, see you in the morning, okay?

00:50:18I'll be out before my head hits the pillow.

00:50:20Night, Maggie.

00:50:21Okay.

00:50:25Okay.

00:50:26No.

00:50:48I'm sorry.

00:50:52I don't know.

00:51:32I don't know.

00:51:49I don't know.

00:52:19I don't know.

00:52:39I don't know.

00:52:42I don't know if your mom was actually nice to me tonight.

00:52:45I told you.

00:52:47She really likes you.

00:52:50Hmm.

00:52:52Yeah, you know, I'm gonna make more of an effort with her.

00:52:54I mean, that's incredible, considering that she hasn't even met you halfway.

00:52:59Mom, I swear I'm gonna make her love me even if it kills me.

00:53:10Good night, baby.

00:53:14Sweet dreams.

00:53:15Yeah.

00:53:18Yeah.

00:53:30Yeah.

00:53:33Sweet dreams.

00:53:33Yeah.

00:53:38Yeah.

00:53:41Yeah.

00:53:53Yeah.

00:53:55Yeah.

00:54:09Yeah.

00:54:11Yeah.

00:54:13Yeah.

00:54:15Yeah.

00:54:22Yeah.

00:54:29Yeah.

00:54:35Yeah.

00:55:08James.

00:55:13James.

00:55:14Hey, wake up.

00:55:17Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.

00:55:20Hey.

00:55:37Hey.

00:55:49Hey.

00:55:52Hey.

00:55:54Hey.

00:55:55Hey.

00:55:57Hey.

00:55:59Hey.

00:56:00Hey.

00:56:01Hey.

00:56:02Hey.

00:56:03Hey.

00:56:05Hey.

00:56:05I don't know.

00:56:38Oh my God, please. Please answer, please.

00:56:41911, what's your emergency?

00:56:43My name is Justin Walker. I 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. My daughter's here. And my husband and my mother-in-law.

00:56:52Get everyone together. I'm sending a car right away.

00:56:55Okay, okay. Oh my God. Oh my God.

00:57:03Jason! Jason, let me go!

00:57:08Help! Somebody help me!

00:57:11Please! Please help me!

00:57:14Please, somebody help you!

00:57:16Help! Somebody help me!

00:57:20Help! Help!

00:57:23Please! Please!

00:57:24Kristen!

00:57:25No!

00:57:27There's somebody in the house!

00:57:29It's me! It's me!

00:57:31No, no, no, no, no!

00:57:34There's somebody in the house. There's no way! It's just me.

00:57:36It's just me. Look at me. Look at me.

00:57:37Look at me. It's just me.

00:57:39It's just me.

00:57:40It's okay.

00:57:41It's okay.

00:57:43What are you looking for?

00:57:45Shh!

00:57:46Help me out.

00:57:47No, no, no, no.

00:58:02Hi, Denise. I 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. I 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,

00:58:17even 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,

00:58:28but I'm feeling pretty confident we 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 them through these things.

00:58:35I just give them 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 second stalker, you 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.

00:59:31So all 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 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?

01:01:07I 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?

01:01:19Well, 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.

01:01:39Text 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.

01:02:38It may be dangerous or even life-threatening.

01:02:41It may be dangerous or even life-threatening.

01:03:34You need something?

01:03:36No.

01:03:37No, sorry.

01:03:38Um, my 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.

01:03:50That'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.

01:04:21I 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, nothing'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, but better overall than you're probably thinking.

01:04:56Okay.

01:04:56Has 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?

01:05:03You 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.

01:05:14Honey, 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.

01:05:40I 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 go online.

01:05:54And I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.

01:05:58So 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...

01:06:15I think so.

01:06:16I...

01:06:16I mean, it was this shadow.

01:06:19At least, Mara, I 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 mean, no, James was asleep.

01:06:32And Maggie can't even get around.

01:06:34She couldn't have done that.

01:06:36So either I 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.

01:08:09Okay.

01:08:27So, what happened?

01:08:29Well, I mean, she had a breakdown.

01:08:34You know, a mental one.

01:08:36Mm-hmm.

01:08:37While you were...

01:08:38Was sleeping.

01:08:39I mean, I was sleeping at first, until she started screaming.

01:08:43She was screaming so loud.

01:08:44I rushed down as fast as I could, but she'd already called the police by that point, and

01:08:49she 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, um, Cheryl 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, so I called over there to ask Cheryl

01:09:47when 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 gonna 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.

01:11:20All right.

01:11:30I don't know.

01:12:00I don't know.

01:12:29I 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.

01:17:50You're welcome.

01:17:52Let's go.

01:17:52Go to sleep.

01:18:42Where the hell are you?

01:18:44We've got to hit the road.

01:18:47You 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.

01:19:24No, it's not.

01:19:25We're going to tie her up, and we're going to get in the car,

01:19:28and you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach in Mexico

01:19:31before anybody knows about this.

01:19:33Who put you in charge?

01:19:34I have made myself clear from the start, 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, look what you did.

01:19:45I'll get her.

01:19:47You idiot.

01:19:47I'll get her.

01:19:48I'll get her.

01:19:51I'll get her.

01:19:54I'll get her.

01:19:54Why don't you work?

01:20:00I'll be in charge of her.

01:20:03Oh, my God.

01:20:14Mara?

01:20:17Mara!

01:20:19Come on!

01:20:21I'm trying to help you!

01:20:27Michael!

01:20:29Michael!

01:20:31Michael!

01:20:33Michael!

01:20:34Michael!

01:20:35What?

01:20:39Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.

01:20:42Stand up, girly.

01:20:45Real slow.

01:20:49I know it's a shame.

01:20:51There's something about your spirit

01:20:53I kinda like.

01:20:55Even if you were a pain in my ass

01:20:58at every flippin' turn.

01:21:00Mara! Mara!

01:21:02Get away from me!

01:21:04Oh, finally something goes right

01:21:06on this job!

01:21:07Stop!

01:21:08Stop!

01:21:09You fucking fool!

01:21:10Why didn't you do that?

01:21:13Screw this...

01:21:15Family!

01:21:21Mom!

01:21:22What are you doing?

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?

01:21:29It was...

01:21:31It was Maggie.

01:21:33It's not her name.

01:21:35It's Jackie.

01:21:37Where's Jackie now?

01:21:39She left the house.

01:21:43Oh, come here, come here.

01:21:52I'm so glad you two are here.

01:21:54We are too.

01:21:55Believe me.

01:21:56Yeah, we kinda need to get out of the house these days anyways.

01:21:59Mm-hmm.

01:22:00Mara'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.

01:22:28Mara, have 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...

01:22:41Conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?

01:22:43Okay, yes, 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,

01:22:59mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others,

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,

01:23:11just 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.

01:23:35Oh, don't worry, honey.

01:23:37Mama's here.

01:23:39I'm gonna make sure that man in there is yours.

01:23:43All yours.

01:23:44And soon.

01:23:46Okay.

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.

01:24:09Hello.

01:24:10Well, please come on in.

01:24:14And I'm gonna go get Landon for you.

01:24:18Make yourselves at home.

01:24:20You don't have to tell us twice.

01:24:22Wow.

01:24:23It's Mom.

01:24:38Wait.

01:24:41You don't have to tell us, no.

01:24:42We'll be honest, man.

01:24:42We'll be honest with you,

01:24:42But you'll be honest.

01:24:44No, no.
