00:06:58Okay. I hope you like black and white.

00:07:07Hey, Jera. How's it going?
00:07:08Oh, hey, Steve.
00:07:14Wow. Great composition.
00:07:18I love the way you use light.
00:07:20What is this guy? A plant or something?
00:07:22No, no, no, no. I'm just very impressed.
00:07:25Tell him this. Have we ever met? What's her name?
00:07:27Beth.
00:07:28Beth. Have we ever met before?
00:07:30Nope.
00:07:36Steven Primes.
00:07:38Beth Milton.
00:07:39Hi, Beth.
00:07:43What do you think?
00:07:45I think...
00:07:51You have talent.
00:07:52Hang on. I'm gonna go see what we got open.
00:07:57I can't believe it.
00:07:59You should believe it.
00:08:00Your stuff is great.
00:08:03Make that too.
00:08:04One for the proverbial starving artist here.
00:08:09You know, Beth, I need some pictures for business.
00:08:12Typically 8 by 10 stuff, but I'm trying to avoid that whole, you know, indoor studio, suit and tie routine.
00:08:20Right, yeah.
00:08:22What do you say?
00:08:23What, me?
00:08:24Yes.
00:08:27You mean it?
00:08:28Absolutely.
00:08:29With that kind of work, we could meet here Saturday around 1.
00:08:32Um, maybe get some lunch. Just take the whole afternoon.
00:08:36Great.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:40Okay.
00:08:41Cheers.
00:08:44Lights okay?
00:08:45Oh yeah, the lights really nice.
00:08:47Okay.
00:08:47A little bit later we'll get some of the gold now.
00:08:54It's good.
00:09:19Okay.
00:09:20I'm gonna go change film.
00:09:21Okay.
00:09:23I'm gonna go change film.
00:09:37Okay.
00:09:37Okay.
00:09:39I'm gonna go change film.
00:09:39This is a nice surprise.
00:09:40Good.
00:09:41Good.
00:09:41Yeah, I'm almost finished.
00:09:42Great.
00:09:44Feel like a movie?
00:09:45Uh, yeah.
00:09:47Yeah.
00:09:48Steven Primes.
00:09:49Kyle Kennedy.
00:09:50I took your small claims class a few years back.
00:09:52Oh.
00:09:52Great.
00:09:53You ready, Beth?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:09:58Call you later.
00:09:59See you around.
00:10:11Good.
00:10:11This one, my friend.
00:10:14A one-fuck.
00:10:17Two long, two-fuck.
00:10:17These are great.
00:10:19You have an amazing eye.
00:10:21These are just what I wanted, Beth.
00:10:23Are you sure?
00:10:24If they're not, I can look like it.
00:10:26I hope you don't already have one.
00:10:33No, no, I...
00:10:35You stamp it on the back of your prints.
00:10:40And that way, you'll always get credit when you're public.
00:10:43I like your confidence in me.
00:10:45It's more than confidence.
00:10:47I'm convinced.
00:10:56Can I ask you something?
00:10:59Who gave you this?
00:11:01It was my dad's.
00:11:03He died two years ago.
00:11:05Oh, sorry.
00:11:08I thought maybe it was that kid, what's his name, Kevin?
00:11:10Kyle.
00:11:11Kyle.
00:11:12So, uh, you two aren't quite at the, uh, jewelry stage yet, huh?
00:11:17Uh, I have to run.
00:11:22Aren't you gonna open your check?
00:11:30This is way too much.
00:11:32From where I'm sitting, it's a bargain.
00:11:40Bye.
00:11:44So, I got my first photography job.
00:11:48A commission?
00:11:50Oh, that's wonderful.
00:11:52Tell me about it.
00:11:53Well, I met this guy at the Eclectic Cafe.
00:11:57And he saw my stuff and liked it and wanted me to do some publicity shots for the Lodge Journal.
00:12:01A lawyer?
00:12:02Do I know him?
00:12:03No, no.
00:12:04Stephen Primes.
00:12:04He's not a lawyer.
00:12:05He teaches at school.
00:12:06I think it's wonderful, Beth.
00:12:09Guess this makes you a professional photographer, huh?
00:12:11Yeah, I guess.
00:12:12Well, don't be so modest.
00:12:13I mean, this is big.
00:12:14This is really big.
00:12:16I don't know, but...
00:12:19But what?
00:12:21Well, he paid me too much.
00:12:23I mean, I know I shouldn't complain, but...
00:12:26Maybe you recognize his talent.
00:12:28You're right.
00:12:42You see the clarity that I'm talking about?
00:12:44Oh, yeah.
00:12:46Oh, I like this one.
00:12:49Is it autofocus?
00:12:52How you doing?
00:12:53Um, I was looking for Beth Knowlton.
00:12:54Uh, she got off at 2 o'clock today.
00:12:56Oh, I bet you were from noon to 6.
00:12:59Different days, different times.
00:13:01Can I ask you another question?
00:13:02Okay.
00:13:03What do you think?
00:13:05You said this has autofocus.
00:13:06What do you think?
00:13:36No, I mean, you let me go.
00:13:45I can't ask you, sir.
00:13:51This is our first question.
00:13:52What is it?
00:13:53What is it?
00:14:05This is my first question.
00:14:06What is it?
00:14:14Beth! I've been waiting for you.
00:14:17Hi, Mr. Prime.
00:14:18Steve. And I am.
00:14:21I've got you a surprise.
00:14:22Another stuffed toy.
00:14:24Cute, wasn't he?
00:14:26I thought you'd like this.
00:14:28It's a Martin Neumeier original print.
00:14:31It's great.
00:14:32But I can't accept that.
00:14:33I'm sure you can.
00:14:34I'll have a frame for you.
00:14:35No, really.
00:14:36Will you stop?
00:14:37It's just a little something for our anniversary.
00:14:41Our anniversary?
00:14:42Two weeks since we met.
00:14:45I thought we might go out to dinner tonight to celebrate.
00:14:49Oh, I can't.
00:14:50I have work and I have finals.
00:14:53Finals?
00:14:53American literature and 20th century Mexican art?
00:14:56With your grades, you'll knock those out in no time.
00:14:59Are you checking on me?
00:15:02Some girls would be flattered.
00:15:05Excuse me, I have to go.
00:15:19Don't go too far.
00:15:24Do I look like I don't eat?
00:15:26Honey, I've seen what you consider a male.
00:15:28Mom, I live two blocks from a market.
00:15:30Yeah, a convenience store that sells taco shells and tea bags.
00:15:34Enough, okay?
00:15:35I'm fine.
00:15:36You always say that.
00:15:37And you refuse to believe it.
00:15:39Mom, I don't need every little detail of my life managed.
00:15:42I...
00:15:43I'm not one of your court cases.
00:15:45No, you're not one of my cases, Beth.
00:15:47You're my child.
00:15:48And it's just you and me now.
00:15:51You know, Dad used to let me fend for myself.
00:15:53Well, we both know your dad was a soft touch.
00:16:00I miss him.
00:16:03So do I.
00:16:07You know, the one thing I miss about him the most?
00:16:10These corny jokes.
00:16:12No, I don't miss those.
00:16:14I miss those long rides to Sedona and Oakley Canyon.
00:16:26Come on, don't give me that look.
00:16:28Thank you for enough towels for my family of ten.
00:16:32And an outlet was having a sale.
00:16:35I gotta get out of here before you try to load the sofa into my car.
00:16:41Thank you a ton.
00:16:42You mean you're gonna leave without telling me about that new guy you're seeing?
00:16:47It's almost a clean getaway.
00:16:50But not quite.
00:16:54Beth, honey, I'm not meddling.
00:16:57I'm just curious.
00:16:58Okay, here it is.
00:16:59The whole scoop.
00:17:00Ready?
00:17:01You wanna write it down?
00:17:02Daughter, don't be smart.
00:17:04Okay, there is this one guy, Lou, that I like.
00:17:07Everything's covered.
00:17:08I'm fine.
00:17:10Everything is under control.
00:17:12Well, I just thought you might wanna bring him by, you know, whenever you're ready.
00:17:17Just a thought.
00:17:20Actually, I'm meeting him at the eclectic cafe tonight.
00:17:29Wanna come by later for coffee?
00:17:32Ah!
00:17:34Ah!
00:17:35Bye.
00:17:58Hey, Steve.
00:18:01What's going on?
00:18:03I'm gonna bring it in later.
00:18:09Oh, no.
00:18:10Oh, no.
00:18:12I don't know.
00:18:13This is a nice surprise.
00:18:16How's it going, Kevin?
00:18:18Kyle.
00:18:19Kyle, I keep doing that.
00:18:22Isn't this place great on weekends?
00:18:24It's like there's a whole different crowd.
00:18:26Different crowd, all right.
00:18:28We should get some real food, huh?
00:18:31Um, hello.
00:18:33Yes, sir.
00:18:34Can we get, like, a big antipasto, maybe two or three little pasta things?
00:18:38Guys, cocktails?
00:18:40Oh, thanks.
00:18:41I guess I should do one, sir.
00:18:44Kyle, a couple of things.
00:18:45Well, one thing that you gotta learn.
00:18:47You're with a beautiful woman here.
00:18:49You gotta learn how to treat her right.
00:18:51Mwah!
00:19:18Hi, beautiful.
00:19:20It's your Steve.
00:19:21You looked great tonight.
00:19:23Call me.
00:19:24You know the number.
00:19:27555-0107.
00:19:47Okay, come on.
00:19:48Big one.
00:19:50Come on.
00:19:51That's my girl.
00:19:57So, is this your top of the line?
00:19:59Mm-hmm.
00:20:00What about that telephoto lens?
00:20:01That'd give me better range, wouldn't it?
00:20:05I don't know, you probably wouldn't use it much.
00:20:08I mean, unless you're into, uh, nature things or something.
00:20:13We should do that some weekend.
00:20:16Take our cameras, go up to the mountains.
00:20:19Oh, this is great.
00:20:22I'll take it.
00:20:23I'll take it.
00:20:28Is there anything else you think I need?
00:20:30Oh, no.
00:20:31You have more equipment here than Ansel Adams.
00:20:35I'm going to get a nice commission on this.
00:20:38I'm going to get a nice commission on this.
00:20:40On the house.
00:20:41Oh, thanks.
00:20:43Hey, Beth, get him one of those camera bags.
00:20:45It's on the house, too.
00:20:46Have you seen this?
00:20:48Man, you'd be surprised how much use you can get out of one of these things.
00:20:50Not just weddings and holidays.
00:20:52Check it out.
00:20:53You're on the monitor.
00:20:54Looking good.
00:20:55Give me that smile.
00:20:57That's great.
00:21:00Insurance.
00:21:01Record keeping.
00:21:02All kinds of stuff, man.
00:21:03And you know what they say.
00:21:04One picture is worth a thousand words, right?
00:21:06Beth, come here.
00:21:08What's this?
00:21:25And the bride and groom.
00:21:27Across the threshold.
00:21:29What are you doing?
00:21:31Stephen, put me down.
00:21:33Put me down!
00:21:42She'll get over it.
00:21:47I'm telling you, Ron, this isn't the best referral I've had in years.
00:21:50It was criminal the way that hot water scoffed that poor girl's back.
00:21:53Steve, I know this hotel chain.
00:21:54These guys play very hard ball.
00:21:56So you force a quick sound.
00:21:57They know you put a 13-year-old girl in front of a jury.
00:21:59They've got a huge problem.
00:22:01All right.
00:22:01You got your paperwork?
00:22:02I got the paperwork.
00:22:05Would you hold on one second, Ron?
00:22:07Excuse me.
00:22:08Judge Moulton.
00:22:10I was hoping I'd run into you.
00:22:12Do I know you?
00:22:13I'm Beth's friend.
00:22:15Stephen.
00:22:16Stephen Primes.
00:22:19She did tell you about us, I mean.
00:22:22Yes, I think she did mention it.
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:24We've been spending quite a lot of time together.
00:22:26I was hoping that I would meet you.
00:22:29I could tell you what a fabulous daughter you've raised.
00:22:33And you know that.
00:22:36It's very nice meeting you.
00:22:37Stephen, is it?
00:22:38Right, Stephen.
00:22:39With a PH.
00:22:51Judge Moulton.
00:22:53I'm going to marry her daughter.
00:22:57Should be good for business.
00:23:17Beth, are you in there, honey?
00:23:21Hi.
00:23:22Hi.
00:23:23I took a chance you'd be here.
00:23:26You have a boss?
00:23:27Want no four-course meal?
00:23:28Oh, well, I would have.
00:23:31But.
00:23:37By the way, I ran into a friend of yours down at the courthouse today.
00:23:41A friend of mine?
00:23:42Yeah, said you were dating.
00:23:45Oh, Kyle.
00:23:47No.
00:23:47No.
00:23:48Stephen something.
00:23:50What?
00:23:50What's wrong?
00:23:52Stephen Primes?
00:23:53He's here today.
00:23:55Come on.
00:23:56He is so strange.
00:23:57He's that guy that I took pictures of.
00:24:00And he's always there.
00:24:02He's acting like my boyfriend.
00:24:03He leaves me these little gifts.
00:24:05He doesn't let me breathe.
00:24:07Besides, he's, he's like middle-aged.
00:24:10I noticed.
00:24:11So then he's not the one you're seeing.
00:24:13No.
00:24:14No.
00:24:15Well, Kyle is the guy that I'm seeing.
00:24:17If the Stephen guy doesn't screw it up.
00:24:20I mean, he shows up.
00:24:21He ambushes me.
00:24:21He doesn't take a hint.
00:24:23I don't know what to do.
00:24:25Maybe you have to give him more than a hint.
00:24:29Look.
00:24:30Draw the line, Beth.
00:24:31Establish parameters and empower yourself.
00:24:34Something I can't do for you.
00:24:36I'm not asking you to do anything for me, Mom.
00:24:42Just that, I mean, he's nice to me.
00:24:43I don't want to be mean to him.
00:24:45Well, a little rejection is not going to crush this guy's ego.
00:24:48Believe me.
00:24:49Not Stephen with a PH.
00:24:51Primes.
00:24:52I said that?
00:24:53Stephen with a PH?
00:25:19Put me down.
00:25:21Put me down!
00:25:40Beth, are you there, honey?
00:25:43I'm just calling to say sweet dreams.
00:25:46I've got so much to tell you, so call me, okay?
00:25:48I miss you.
00:25:51I miss you.
00:25:52I don't know.
00:26:29I don't know.
00:26:52I don't know.
00:27:23Beth.
00:27:25I'm going to do something about it.
00:27:27When, Beth?
00:27:29Soon.
00:27:30Look, I don't like being the guy in the way.
00:27:32You're not.
00:27:33Dad, it's just, he seems to always be two steps ahead of me, you know?
00:27:37Then run faster.
00:27:39That is if you want to.
00:27:40Don't hassle me, Kyle.
00:27:42I get enough of it from him, okay?
00:27:44But that's it.
00:27:44That's all you have to say.
00:27:45Well, what more do you want me to say?
00:27:47What can I do?
00:27:48Tell me.
00:27:49What can I do?
00:27:59Come on.
00:28:01Come on.
00:28:0330 seconds.
00:28:11Wow, that's so good.
00:28:15Yeah, I'm jealous.
00:28:21Three minutes.
00:28:24Three minutes.
00:28:25Three minutes.
00:28:28Two minutes.
00:28:30Three minutes.
00:28:34Three minutes.
00:29:08Come on, get out of here!
00:29:43Come on, get out of here!
00:29:47Yeah, well, I made plans, okay? I can't find my keys.
00:29:54What?
00:29:54I said I can't find my keys.
00:29:57Oh, well, let's retrace your steps. Where have you been today? American Lit, lunch at the patio, the pool. Where
00:30:06else?
00:30:06I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
00:30:10I'm just trying to help, Beth. I mean, I'd be happy to call you a locksmith or give you a
00:30:18ride home, whatever you need.
00:30:19I'm fine. I'll manage. It's just everything, all right? It's today.
00:30:25Wait a second.
00:30:26Megan. Hello.
00:30:31I must have dropped them.
00:30:35I'm sorry. Thank you.
00:30:42It's okay.
00:30:45You're going to take a look?
00:30:46Yeah.
00:30:47Okay, yeah.
00:30:47Thanks.
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:50Bye.
00:31:08This is my way of saying I'm sorry.
00:31:13Ah, the old pizza piece offering, eh?
00:31:18Yeah, let me hear you say that five times.
00:31:20Pizza piece offering, pizza piece offering, pizza piece offering.
00:31:23Okay, okay.
00:32:09Okay, okay.
00:32:37Okay, okay.
00:32:53Okay, okay.
00:33:03Marine biology.
00:33:07I was thinking law school.
00:33:08Oh, that's good.
00:33:09Not the regular stuff, but the environment.
00:33:13American Indian.
00:33:14Yeah, you should talk to my mom.
00:33:15She worked on the Sudet River Reservation.
00:33:17That's how she got started in the best of court.
00:33:18She sounds cool.
00:33:20Yes, she is.
00:33:25Would you ever, like, consider fixing my parking ticket?
00:33:29Joke.
00:33:30Only a joke.
00:33:31I never get tickets.
00:33:33I'm totally law-abiding.
00:33:35Totally.
00:33:48Do you mind as beautiful as you are?
00:33:50Well, she's beautiful, but I look like my dad.
00:33:54So, you mind coming up?
00:34:00For a while.
00:34:08Yeah, it's still a place I remember.
00:34:12Nope.
00:34:13It hasn't changed much since last week.
00:34:15I'm life-thirsty.
00:34:16Well, you know where the refrigerator is.
00:34:18It's just diet soda, though.
00:34:20No beer or anything.
00:34:22I'll meet you in there.
00:34:36What's wrong with this?
00:34:40Dear Beth, let's share this on our anniversary Saturday night?
00:34:44Love, S?
00:34:46I have no idea where that came from.
00:34:49Well, I hate to ruin your celebration, but...
00:34:52This is the old guy, right, Beth?
00:34:54Old guys are into champagne, not a pedestrian bottle of beer like us kids.
00:35:01Guess you didn't want to back off that badly, did you?
00:35:03Kyle, you're being ridiculous.
00:35:05Sorry, I guess I'm just being juvenile.
00:35:07Ghost, young and stupid, right?
00:35:09No, I swear, I do not know how it got there.
00:35:12Maybe he left it with my neighbor.
00:35:13She has a key.
00:35:14But there is no anniversary.
00:35:15There is no date.
00:35:17There is nothing.
00:35:19Well, this is just a little too bogus for me.
00:35:21I don't know what to say.
00:35:23Believe me, I've heard enough.
00:35:26Kyle, listen to me.
00:35:29Kyle, he's crazy, all right?
00:35:31You know, I kept thinking maybe the attraction had something to do with missing your dad, you know?
00:35:35What?
00:35:36I'd understand that, I guess.
00:35:37But this...
00:35:38I can't handle this.
00:35:40You're punishing me for something that I didn't do that never happened, Kyle.
00:35:44I don't like a crowd, Beth.
00:35:47If he's out of your life, give me a call.
00:35:48I don't like a crowd.
00:35:55I don't like a crowd.
00:35:58I don't like a crowd.
00:36:01I don't like a crowd.
00:36:03Good 아름'd or like a crowd for someone.
00:36:15Absolutely.
00:36:15See you later.
00:36:18Waita!
00:36:29I'm doing it for you.
00:36:30I love that you do.
00:36:32Thanks.
00:36:33Cheers.
00:36:34I'm glad you're here.
00:36:34Oh, so nice.
00:36:35Nice to be here.
00:36:36Martha, the garden looks wonderful.
00:36:38Oh, thank you.
00:36:39You're a great spot for a wedding.
00:36:40Mm-hmm.
00:36:41What?
00:36:41What are you talking about, Wayne?
00:36:42Martha's not getting married.
00:36:43No, no, not Martha.
00:36:45Beth.
00:36:46What?
00:36:48I'm not getting married.
00:36:49Oh, no.
00:36:50Board house gossip.
00:36:52You know you can't keep a secret around there.
00:36:54What gossip is that?
00:36:55Beth's engaged.
00:36:57To a consultant named Stephen Primes.
00:37:01Excuse me.
00:37:07Did I say something wrong?
00:37:20Well, we were there during the bronze stage.
00:37:23Martha.
00:37:25How is she?
00:37:27Well, she's really upset.
00:37:29You know, I didn't realize how strange this situation had gotten with this guy, this Stephen
00:37:34Primes.
00:37:35I've seen him around.
00:37:36He's a guy who works all the legal margins.
00:37:38Well, he's everywhere, Paula.
00:37:40He's encroached on her life.
00:37:41He's even managed to sabotage a nice little romance she had going on.
00:37:45I mean, it's not as though he's crossed the letter of the law, but his behavior is just so...
00:37:51Inappropriate.
00:37:51Yeah, exactly.
00:37:53Now he thinks he's even gotten into her apartment somehow, and that scares the hell out of me.
00:37:58Worse, if she's imagined all this...
00:38:00There's somebody I want you to call.
00:38:01His name is Danny Zerbo.
00:38:03He's a P.I.
00:38:05Probably didn't seem like any big deal at the time.
00:38:07It never does.
00:38:10A few phone calls, chance encounters, little notes, special cards.
00:38:18I mean, these may seem pretty innocuous to you, but they're really strange.
00:38:23Yeah.
00:38:26Suddenly, this guy seems to know an awful lot about your life, your time, and your friends.
00:38:31Exactly.
00:38:31I mean, he knows that I'm a judge, a lawyer.
00:38:34What does he think I'm going to do, sanction this behavior?
00:38:37Ma'am, you being a judge is not going to protect your daughter against this guy.
00:38:41Especially if he's got an obsessive personality.
00:38:44It could even be a turn-on.
00:38:46He figures if he can get to the daughter, he can get to the mother.
00:38:48A mother who's a lot more successful than he's ever going to be.
00:38:52Control is a big issue to these guys.
00:38:59Beth, I've got to ask you a question.
00:39:01And you've got to tell me the truth.
00:39:04Have you ever had any physical contact with this guy?
00:39:06No.
00:39:07I mean, even kissing, anything?
00:39:10Absolutely not.
00:39:12You're sure?
00:39:13Yeah, I can't stand it when he touches me.
00:39:16What do you mean when he touches you?
00:39:18Well, I don't know.
00:39:20He just kind of sneaks it in, you know?
00:39:21He puts an arm around my shoulder or around my waist.
00:39:25And one time when I was working, he came in and he tried to pick me up and carry me.
00:39:31It was awful.
00:39:32It's gradual escalation.
00:39:34He's made physical contact.
00:39:35This guy is crossing some psychological barriers.
00:39:38All right, I have heard enough.
00:39:41You are coming home to live with me.
00:39:44End of story.
00:39:45No, but then he controls my whole life.
00:39:48Hold on a minute here.
00:39:50Why don't y'all let me have a little talk with him?
00:39:53Maybe I can reason with him.
00:39:55Intimidate him.
00:39:56It'll be his choice.
00:39:58Your legal options here are pretty limited.
00:40:00Well, you know that.
00:40:02Good news is, sooner or later, most of these guys find somebody else and they just go away.
00:40:10Yeah, and then some other woman has to deal with it, right?
00:40:15Nice to meet you, Mr. Serbo.
00:40:17Just these guys, not formal guys.
00:40:24I'll be in touch.
00:40:32You know, I don't know what to think of Mr. Serbo.
00:40:36I mean, I can't believe that I am dealing professionally with a character like that.
00:40:40I don't know, he seems pretty nice to me.
00:40:42That may be part of your problem.
00:40:47Beth, I'm sorry, honey.
00:40:48I only meant that sometimes you're too nice for your own good.
00:41:06Keep you in mind.
00:41:07All right, I got an investigator that handles most of my stuff exclusively, but...
00:41:13Never know when I'll have an overflow.
00:41:15You don't seem to get it.
00:41:17I got a case.
00:41:18And you're the object of it.
00:41:25Nice boots.
00:41:26I got mine down in Nogales.
00:41:28I could give you the guy's name.
00:41:29He doesn't say...
00:41:31I'm here to talk to you about Beth Nolan.
00:41:34Now, I want to say this real clear, so you understand.
00:41:38Back off, Slick.
00:41:40Way off.
00:41:41Beth can make her own decisions about who she wants to be with.
00:41:44She already has.
00:41:45Leave her alone.
00:41:49This is about the mother, isn't it?
00:41:51She's the one that hired you.
00:41:54Mr. Zerbo.
00:41:56This is one confused and very lonely lady.
00:42:01She didn't tell you she was interested in me way before I even met Beth, did she?
00:42:05No.
00:42:06You see...
00:42:08The judge simply couldn't handle my being with Beth, instead it was her.
00:42:12It's typical overreaction.
00:42:13You know women.
00:42:14So before you say another thing, I suggest you look there.
00:42:17Before you find yourself in a really sticky situation, legally sticky, if you know what I mean.
00:42:26You're a very confused fellow in a lot of ways, Mr. Price.
00:42:30So I'm just gonna say this once.
00:42:33Then consider yourself warned.
00:42:36This is not about what the mother wants.
00:42:37It's about what the girl wants.
00:42:40Beth.
00:42:41She's a nice kid.
00:42:42Too nice to tell you to your face that she thinks you're weird and scary.
00:42:47I don't believe that.
00:42:57Weird, scary, and way too old, man.
00:43:06Nice earring.
00:43:19What can I do for you?
00:43:20Beth.
00:43:21Beth no longer works here.
00:43:22How come?
00:43:23She had a reason.
00:43:25Okay?
00:43:26Sorry about that, man.
00:43:28Yeah, that's a great job.
00:43:34Hey, Louis.
00:43:35Hey, Beth.
00:43:36I've got an hour scheduled, all right?
00:43:38Yeah, just don't use up all the toner, okay?
00:43:40I'm gonna go get a sandwich.
00:43:42You want something?
00:43:43Um, no.
00:43:44No, thanks.
00:43:45Hey, guys.
00:43:46Let's go.
00:44:06Louis, shut the door.
00:44:08I'm working.
00:44:08Get in.
00:44:10Let's go.
00:44:19Oh.
00:44:21Oh.
00:44:42Hey!
00:44:44What?
00:44:46Look!
00:44:48Look!
00:44:52Ah!
00:44:53No!
00:44:55No, he can't stop me!
00:44:57Help me!
00:44:59No!
00:45:08So, you didn't see his face at all?
00:45:11No, but I know that it was him.
00:45:14I need more to go on.
00:45:15Are you sure that it wasn't this... this guy, Lewis?
00:45:19I'm positive. It was Steven Primes.
00:45:23This isn't a stunt of someone who knows the law.
00:45:25It's more like something a kid would do.
00:45:27Officer Weldon, let's get something straight right now.
00:45:29This was not a stunt. This was an assault.
00:45:32This man has been following my daughter around for weeks.
00:45:36And age is obviously no guarantee of stability or maturity.
00:45:40Don't get me wrong, Judge. We're going to look into this.
00:45:43So this means that he'll probably get away with it, right?
00:45:45I'm saying we're going to do everything we can, but we've got no grounds for arrest.
00:45:52Excuse me.
00:45:57Beth, we're going to decide right now if I'm going to stay with you or you're going to come back
00:46:01to live with me for a while.
00:46:15I'm your colleague, Martha. It might be considered a conflict.
00:46:20I understand your need to recuse yourself, Wayne, but I'm just trying to buy her a little time.
00:46:25I mean, I know it's a simple restraining order, but if I go through the court system, it's going to
00:46:29take a few days.
00:46:30With this lunatic, every day makes a difference.
00:46:34Well, ma'am.
00:46:35I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to Beth.
00:46:38My clerk will have it ready by noon.
00:46:40Thank you. I really appreciate it.
00:46:42Okay.
00:46:49Can I help you?
00:46:50Steven Pratt?
00:46:51That's right. Have a nice day.
00:47:02No law and no person will come between us.
00:47:24You belong to me, and I belong to you.
00:47:40You.
00:47:45You will be my goddess, and I will be your god.
00:48:07Our union.
00:48:10Our union will take place in a non-religious setting.
00:48:14There will be no religious music or symbols permitted.
00:48:17There will be no family members present.
00:48:20They won't be there to stop us again.
00:48:23Don't try to protect yourself from my eternal love.
00:48:29It looks as deranged as it sounds.
00:48:32This guy is a loony town.
00:48:34He faxed this to your house.
00:48:35In the middle of the night.
00:48:37I'm not even so sure she's safe with me.
00:48:39Why don't you let me get a couple of bikers I know, and we'll go over there.
00:48:42Don't even think about it.
00:48:44I mean, he may not be a lawyer, but he knows his way around the legal system.
00:48:47Not that I'd mind being sued if I thought it would stop him.
00:48:51Something.
00:48:51Well, we just gotta find that button.
00:48:58Yeah, that's great.
00:49:00This is, um, Beth's statement to the police and the restraining order.
00:49:05Which this letter violates.
00:49:09I mean, I want you to compare the handwriting in this letter to the earlier ones.
00:49:14If that isn't enough to scare you.
00:49:16I can see why you're upset.
00:49:17He is irrational and obsessive.
00:49:20And I don't think he should be allowed to continue teaching at this campus around vulnerable young women.
00:49:25I'm giving you enough documentation here legally to fire him.
00:49:29I'm afraid it's not that cut and dried.
00:49:31You see, he's not a real faculty member.
00:49:34He's a freelancer.
00:49:35He just rents classroom space here.
00:49:37And his lease was just renewed.
00:49:40Now, I could approach the board of trustees about breaking the lease.
00:49:44But, you know, Mr. Primes.
00:49:46Yes, I know, I know.
00:49:47He'll sue.
00:49:48I will look into this.
00:49:50I can't promise you anything, but...
00:49:52Thank you very much.
00:49:56Two months next week, Your Honor.
00:49:58I've never been clean and sober that long since...
00:50:01I can't even say how long.
00:50:03Well, that's quite an achievement, Miss Lewis.
00:50:05The court congratulate you.
00:50:07Now, what about the other terms of the probation?
00:50:09Job training and parenting classes?
00:50:11Well, um, I've enrolled in beauticians college.
00:50:15And I can give a real professional manicure now.
00:50:18Um, I can come by later and show you.
00:50:23That won't be necessary.
00:50:25What about the parenting classes?
00:50:27Um, not yet.
00:50:29That's not good enough.
00:50:31Well, I don't see how you can expect me to do this all at once.
00:50:34I mean, when am I supposed to have time for me?
00:50:36I want you back here in two weeks with proof of enrollment in a parenting class.
00:50:41Two weeks.
00:50:42Is that understood?
00:50:44All right.
00:50:46Bitch.
00:50:47Miss Lewis, I'm warning you.
00:50:49I'm sorry.
00:50:50I just...
00:50:51I have a short fuse.
00:50:53That's precisely why you need that class.
00:51:01Well, we're coming up on the hour.
00:51:03We will take a 20-minute recess.
00:51:07All right.
00:51:35Mr. Primes.
00:51:37Mr. Primes.
00:51:39I'd like a word with you.
00:51:43I want it understood that your intimidation won't work.
00:51:47You are to stay away from my daughter, my home, and my courtroom.
00:51:50Is that clear?
00:51:51My intimidation?
00:51:52This state has laws against harassment, Mr. Primes.
00:51:54I know the laws in this state as well as you do, Judge.
00:51:56I know what the legal parameters are here.
00:51:58You better understand that if you don't stop this mental terrorism against my daughter,
00:52:02I will use every legal means to...
00:52:04That is just great.
00:52:05You officers of the court and your smug justice.
00:52:08You want to talk about the court order you had served on me, signed by one of your cronies?
00:52:11You thought I wouldn't check on that?
00:52:13I'm way ahead of you, Judge.
00:52:15I've got written proof, solid evidence.
00:52:17You're going to be up on charges.
00:52:18Legal malpractice, Judge.
00:52:19Collusion.
00:52:20You raving lunatic.
00:52:21You stay away from my daughter, you hear me?
00:52:26You ought to be recalled, lady!
00:52:36I'm so glad you decided to move back in.
00:52:40Just until I get my new apartment, okay?
00:52:43I know, I know.
00:52:45I just like having you around.
00:52:47I just...
00:52:48I just have to get my life back the way that it was, you know?
00:52:52I can't believe we forgot the sunblock.
00:52:54That's half the reason I went there.
00:52:55That's all right.
00:52:56It doesn't matter.
00:52:56I'll get some later.
00:52:58I'm going to go hand this up.
00:52:59Okay.
00:52:59Oh, when you're there, you'll get some cherries because they're really great, okay?
00:53:03All right.
00:53:08Hey, buddy!
00:53:10Hey!
00:53:14Hey!
00:53:25Hey!
00:53:26What?
00:53:27Hey!
00:53:30Hey!
00:53:31Hey there!
00:53:32Hey!
00:53:39Oh, no, don't touch that, don't touch a thing, I'm sick, hey, check this out, wow, police
00:54:00What's going on? Somebody broke in, vandalized that house, you're kidding me, in this neighborhood? Judge's house too, crazy people
00:54:13out there, yeah, go ahead and book the tickets, Mary, okay, thanks,
00:54:21Liz, how fast can you pack, I booked a 6pm flight to Denver, past 10 seconds, oh, can you get
00:54:38them to reassign my caseload?
00:54:39Of course, I'll keep an eye on the situation here, great, my brother Duncan has a large range outside of
00:54:45Denver and I'll call you with the number, fine, okay, thank you, okay,
00:54:52If your people find any evidence, no matter how small it is, just... Don't worry, ma'am, we'll go over
00:54:57it with a fine-tooth comb
00:55:01You know, I've had women tell me that they don't feel safe in their own homes, now I understand it
00:55:06all too well, I'm miserable
00:55:10He knew just when we'd be gone, he was watching
00:55:23Hey, let's go, let's go
00:55:27Hurry up
00:55:48Well, you don't realize how much tension you're under until you're not under it anymore
00:55:53Yeah
00:55:55I don't remember the last time I heard Beth laugh out loud
00:55:58It sounds wonderful
00:56:00Yeah, it's great to see the kids playing together again
00:56:04It's sad, you know, for cousins to grow up so far apart
00:56:08Duncan, it's really good of you to take her in like this
00:56:10We love her
00:56:12And I don't want you to worry about a thing, Marty
00:56:16She's gonna be just fine with us
00:56:25I'd like her to take your last name if that's okay with you
00:56:29Just as an extra precaution
00:56:32Elizabeth Emerson
00:56:34Got a nice ring
00:56:38K-N-O-W
00:56:40Oh, I got another plan
00:56:41L-T-O-N-Beth
00:56:44Also try Elizabeth
00:56:47It's a new listing
00:56:48Get into the phone system, see what you can find out
00:56:51Start with the Phoenix area, then check Tucson, Neil
00:56:55Wait, the whole state?
00:56:56Just do it, Neil
00:56:57The quicker you do it, the sooner you get paid
00:57:03Look, buddy
00:57:05This is the third message I've left
00:57:07And you're beginning to piss me off
00:57:08Now I know you know where she is
00:57:10And I want that information
00:57:11Now!
00:57:13Five minutes
00:57:14Or you're gonna regret it
00:57:16You better hear me
00:57:17Or you're dead
00:57:19Dead!
00:57:22Came back from a camping trip Sunday
00:57:23And this was waiting
00:57:25Ten messages from this guy
00:57:26This is crap
00:57:27Do you recognize the voice?
00:57:29Of course I do
00:57:30He sounds like he's getting worse
00:57:32This guy isn't gonna stop until he gets what he wants
00:57:35Wait, can't you go after him with this?
00:57:37Isn't it threatening somebody?
00:57:38Well, if you made the calls to me or Beth
00:57:41Then the restraining order would apply
00:57:43But it doesn't extend to you
00:57:45How about tapping his phones?
00:57:46No, it's illegal
00:57:47I mean, I would have to rule it inadmissible
00:57:49If somebody brought it into my courtroom
00:57:50No, but you can get a court order for his phone records
00:57:53We could start to build a case against him that way
00:57:56We didn't get that started
00:57:57Do it
00:58:00You don't want to keep this
00:58:02I guess
00:58:02Thanks
00:58:05Nice meeting you
00:58:05Yeah
00:58:06Sorry it had to be this way
00:58:09How's she doing?
00:58:11She's doing fine
00:58:13I gave her a really hard time about this guy
00:58:15I was jealous, you know
00:58:16I know, I know
00:58:17But she understands
00:58:19Please
00:58:21Tell her I'm sorry
00:58:23I'll do that
00:58:24All right
00:58:26See you later
00:58:27Okay
00:58:31I don't believe it
00:58:32The court system
00:58:33And experienced P.I.
00:58:34The police department
00:58:35There's not a damn thing
00:58:37That any one of us can do
00:58:38To protect my daughter
00:58:39And that guy is out there
00:58:41Like a scorpion
00:58:41Just waiting to strike
00:58:43You have to use your patience here
00:58:45Hey
00:58:47That is the one thing
00:58:48He does not have
00:58:53Hang in there, lady
00:59:04Hey, you don't seem to understand
00:59:06Who you're dealing with here
00:59:06I'm really the last guy
00:59:08You want to make that
00:59:09Pay attention to me
00:59:10Pay attention
00:59:19I'm really sorry, Mr. Primes
00:59:20But her records have been transferred
00:59:21And that's all the information
00:59:22I can give out
00:59:23I understand the rules
00:59:24It's just that she asked me
00:59:26To send her her midterm grade
00:59:27Would you excuse me
00:59:28For just one sec?
00:59:30Hello, Red, sorry
00:59:32Yeah, what you need to do
00:59:33Is send a check for
00:59:34$25
00:59:35And a self-addressed
00:59:36Okay
00:59:43Okay
00:59:43Sure
00:59:45So, Mr. Primes
00:59:46If you wanted
00:59:47I think I got it
00:59:52There's an E-period
00:59:54There's an E-period
00:59:54Knowlton
00:59:54North Arroyo
00:59:55In Denver
00:59:55It's a new listing
00:59:56There's two numbers
00:59:57My guess is one's a fact
00:59:59You got an address?
01:00:01Boy
01:00:02Well, not so fast
01:00:03It's E-period
01:00:04It could be Edward
01:00:05Or Ezekiel
01:00:06No, no, no
01:00:07That's a girl trick
01:00:09It makes the name
01:00:09Sound more mysterious
01:00:12A lot of guys out there
01:00:13Like to make weird phone calls
01:00:14I guess
01:00:15There's gonna be
01:00:15A nice fat check
01:00:16For you in the mail
01:00:25Are you ready to win one?
01:00:26Yeah!
01:00:27Are you ready
01:00:28To get what you want
01:00:29Out of life?
01:00:30Yeah!
01:00:31Then let's go for it
01:00:44Are you Elizabeth Nolton?
01:00:46Yeah, Liz
01:00:47Yeah, I'm the new owner
01:00:48Welcome
01:00:48Thanks
01:00:50Anything exciting in here?
01:00:51Looks like mostly junk mail
01:00:52Take it easy
01:00:53You too
01:01:07I know where you are
01:01:09Steven
01:01:19Ah, there's great classes, Mom
01:01:20Yeah, I'm taking a sculpting
01:01:22With Studio Light
01:01:23Taking a commercial photography class
01:01:24Oh, and there's even
01:01:25A photojournalism seminar
01:01:26Given by Pauline Adros
01:01:28She's this famous
01:01:29Photographer
01:01:30Yes, I do know her
01:01:31She and I spoke
01:01:32At the same seminar
01:01:33A few years ago
01:01:33You're kidding
01:01:34Well, finally
01:01:36You're impressed with me
01:01:37But more importantly, honey
01:01:38It sounds like things
01:01:39Are going pretty good for you
01:01:40Yeah, things are fine
01:01:41Listen, I gotta go
01:01:42I have all these classes
01:01:43Um, I love you
01:01:45All right, sweetheart
01:01:46I'll talk to you soon
01:01:46Yeah, bye
01:01:48Hey
01:01:50I'm sorry
01:01:52Anything new?
01:01:53Well, he's been pretty quiet
01:01:55No trips
01:01:57No more calls to Beth's friends
01:01:58I have noticed
01:01:59An awful lot of mail
01:02:00Going out, though
01:02:01As long as he's not
01:02:02Sending it to Beth
01:02:03Anything funny around here?
01:02:05No, not really
01:02:06Maybe he's forgotten about us
01:02:07That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
01:02:09Yeah, it would
01:02:09But I doubt it
01:02:10A guy that's this obsessed
01:02:12He doesn't back off that fast
01:02:16Whatever you say, Z
01:02:22Did you really think
01:02:23I wouldn't find you?
01:02:25Did you really think
01:02:26I'd let you get away?
01:02:28I am coming for you, Elizabeth
01:02:31Who is this?
01:02:33Hello?
01:02:35Hello?
01:02:47I know it's not your fault
01:02:48But you have to call me
01:02:50Now
01:02:54Call me now
01:02:56Don't ignore me
01:02:59She's got to understand
01:03:01She can't stand in her way
01:03:02I am coming to get you
01:03:03We're getting married
01:03:05And she can't do
01:03:06A damn thing about it
01:03:10You sure made some impression
01:03:12On this guy
01:03:12I don't know any
01:03:13Steven in Phoenix
01:03:14That's what's so bizarre
01:03:16I have no idea
01:03:17Who this guy is
01:03:18What he looks like
01:03:19Why he fixated on me
01:03:20No last name
01:03:21No return address
01:03:23It's gonna be hard
01:03:24To protect you
01:03:24From a nameless
01:03:25Faceless guy
01:03:26In another state
01:03:26I finally buy
01:03:28The perfect house
01:03:29I organize things
01:03:30So I can work out of here
01:03:31My life was so good
01:03:34This guy is not going to
01:03:35Chase me out of my house
01:03:36Well we'll
01:03:37We'll keep a watch
01:03:38On the area
01:03:40And you alert us
01:03:41If you see anything strange
01:03:42People, cars, anything
01:03:44Ask for me
01:03:46And who knows
01:03:47Maybe we'll get lucky
01:03:48Maybe this guy
01:03:48Will stay in Phoenix
01:03:49I know
01:03:50I've seen too much TV
01:03:51They really want you
01:03:52They find a way to get you
01:03:53The spooky thing is
01:03:54That I have no idea
01:03:55What he looks like
01:03:57He could be standing next to me
01:03:59In line at the supermarket
01:03:59Or sitting by me in the movie
01:04:01How would I know
01:04:04Yeah, well
01:04:05You're right
01:04:33Looking good
01:04:35Give me that smile
01:04:36Give me that smile
01:04:38That's great
01:04:40Come on
01:04:41Beth, come here
01:04:42Watch this
01:04:46I'm going to get you
01:04:55Put me down
01:05:13Melo, I think you know who this is
01:05:17I think you do
01:05:20I've been making plans
01:05:23Elizabeth
01:05:24Big plans
01:05:26So I hope you're ready
01:05:29Ready for the big day
01:05:38Didn't like that, did you?
01:05:40Shirk
01:06:06Oh God
01:06:22What is it?
01:06:24It's bad news
01:06:25I lost him
01:06:27Damn it
01:06:27Damn it
01:06:28Damn it
01:06:29Sometime between 9 o'clock last night
01:06:31And 8 o'clock this morning
01:06:32His car's not there
01:06:34He's nowhere to be found
01:06:35He called in school
01:06:36Sick
01:06:37He's not at his house either
01:06:38Alright, alright
01:06:39Take it easy
01:06:39So
01:06:40He's not at work
01:06:41And he's not at home
01:06:42Or maybe we went to look
01:06:43At the Grand Canyon
01:06:44Well, that's doubtful
01:06:47Well, he didn't fly
01:06:49His car's not at the airport
01:06:50I got sources
01:06:51At the airport security
01:06:52Nobody can miss that car of his
01:06:54Yeah, at the trot, right?
01:06:56You want me to get on a plane
01:06:57To Denver right now?
01:07:00Give it till the end of the day
01:07:01See if he turns up
01:07:02And if not, yes, go
01:07:03I mean, my God
01:07:04How do you predict
01:07:05What a crazy man's gonna do next?
01:07:20What's the rush?
01:07:21Ah, I have class
01:07:22Actually, a photojournalism seminar
01:07:24Right

01:07:40Famous woman judge
01:07:42Who wants to work again?
01:07:44Hello
01:07:46What kind of new development?

01:08:08I have to go, okay?
01:08:09I'll call you later
01:08:11Bye
01:08:12Bye
01:08:13Bye
01:08:15What's the problem?
01:08:26Beth, it's me!
01:08:28Steven, open up!
01:08:33Beth, open the door!
01:08:37Someone is breaking down my door
01:08:38Can you get here quickly, please?
01:08:41Please
01:08:42536 Royal Lane
01:08:43Yes, Elizabeth Knowlton
01:08:45Please hurry
01:08:53Harry, call the cops!
01:08:57And they're on their way right now
01:08:59They better back off!
01:09:00No chance
01:09:01Now that I've found you again
01:09:05Open the door, Beth
01:09:06I've got a gun
01:09:07And I'll use it!
01:09:19Maybe the siren scared him away
01:09:21And you're sure that's the same guy in the video?
01:09:24Absolutely
01:09:24Oh, God
01:09:25Those crazed eyes
01:09:27And you never saw him before tonight
01:09:29Other than on tape?
01:09:30No, never
01:09:31You know the girl?
01:09:33No, I've never seen her
01:09:34I'm going to get you
01:09:36There's something on the glass
01:09:37Right there
01:09:39See the backwards letters?
01:09:41D, O, B, E
01:09:42It's obviously a camera store
01:09:44And there's all this video equipment
01:09:50Here's the envelope
01:09:53Couple of the year
01:09:56It's postmark Phoenix
01:09:57Just like everything else
01:10:00Well
01:10:01At least now we have somewhere to start
01:10:04What if he comes back?
01:10:06What if he's out there somewhere?
01:10:08Just waiting
01:10:11Eric?
01:10:13Hey
01:10:14I got your message on the machine
01:10:15You said it upset
01:10:16What's going on?
01:10:17I got this strange phone call
01:10:19From this cop in Colorado, right?
01:10:21And it turns out that there is another
01:10:22Elizabeth Knowlton
01:10:23Living outside of Denver
01:10:25Who was sent to videotape
01:10:26From Stephen Primes
01:10:28Another Elizabeth Knowlton?
01:10:29Yeah, and I asked them
01:10:30If they could just give her my phone number
01:10:32Well, did she call you?
01:10:33Fifteen minutes later
01:10:35Unbelievable
01:10:36Unbelievable
01:10:37So Primes has known all along
01:10:38That Beth is in Denver
01:10:40Only he's harassing the wrong woman
01:10:42Well, it's kind of gone beyond harassment
01:10:44Now, according to what this Liz tells me
01:10:46This guy showed up at her house the other night
01:10:48And he tried to break down the front door
01:10:49Oh, my God
01:10:51So he's in Denver
01:10:54This Liz gave me her phone number, man
01:10:56In case you want to give her a call
01:11:01Judge Knowlton
01:11:01Are you all right now?
01:11:07Yeah
01:11:09I just thought it was over
01:11:10That's all
01:11:10I thought you'd beaten him
01:11:15He's so close to her
01:11:15And I'm so far away
01:11:22Thanks
01:11:23Okay
01:11:35Beth
01:11:36Liz
01:11:37I recognize you from the video
01:11:38No
01:11:39He did not follow me
01:11:41Okay
01:11:42I'm sorry
01:11:43This is weird, huh?
01:11:44Yeah
01:11:45Just tell me what happened
01:11:46He, uh
01:11:47He didn't get in, did he?
01:11:49No
01:11:50It was close
01:11:51It was too close
01:11:54Did he see you?
01:11:55I don't think so
01:11:56Is it here?
01:11:59Oh, good
01:12:00I mean, maybe he still thinks you're me, right?
01:12:03I was screaming
01:12:04Of course, it was at the top of my lungs, so
01:12:06You might not have realized
01:12:09Um, Beth
01:12:11How did you ever, um, meet this guy?
01:12:15Let me make something really clear, okay?
01:12:17This guy is not an ex-boyfriend of mine
01:12:19This is not somebody that I had sex with
01:12:21Or even had a romance with
01:12:23I mean, he came out of nowhere
01:12:25And glommed onto me
01:12:27I mean, he is like a vampire
01:12:29Yes
01:12:29He got my phone number
01:12:31Then I changed it
01:12:32I got a new phone number
01:12:33Unlisted
01:12:34And then he got that
01:12:35And then every day
01:12:37He sent this mail
01:12:38You've seen this?
01:12:39Look at this
01:12:41Oh, yeah
01:12:42It's the same awful handwriting
01:12:43Mm-hmm
01:12:45I've seen it
01:12:45He is so weird
01:12:48What's this?
01:12:50The wedding of Elizabeth Emerson Knowlton
01:12:52And Stephen David Primes
01:12:54On the 17th of
01:12:56August
01:12:57It's the 17th, again
01:12:59What is with that date?
01:13:00I don't know
01:13:01It's
01:13:02Well, we met
01:13:03On May 17th
01:13:06He has this
01:13:08Fixation on
01:13:08On anniversaries
01:13:09Two-week anniversary
01:13:10One-month anniversary
01:13:12Oh
01:13:14It's really weird
01:13:18I bet he's gonna be at your house
01:13:20On the 17th
01:13:23Unless he finds me here first
01:13:25It's so odd
01:13:28I was anti-gun
01:13:29I was anti-violence
01:13:35Now, I could actually shoot him
01:13:37I don't know what's happening to me
01:13:39He's turning me into someone
01:13:41I never wanted to be
01:13:43I don't know
01:13:45He loves control, you know
01:13:47He's not gonna give that up
01:13:51If we wanna get our lives back
01:13:52We're gonna have to
01:13:53To do something
01:13:55Catch him breaking the law
01:13:56Or, you know, set some kind of trap
01:14:00I'll be the bait
01:14:02Oh, wow
01:14:04I wanna do this
01:14:11And since he hasn't seen Liz's face
01:14:13He still thinks I'm Beth
01:14:15This is preposterous
01:14:16No, it's not
01:14:17We move some of my stuff into her house
01:14:20Things that he will recognize
01:14:21Then we let him see me
01:14:22I mean, once he breaks in
01:14:24We have grounds to arrest him
01:14:26And it will be out of our lives
01:14:28Finally
01:14:32Do you know how long it'll take the police to get out there?
01:14:35And just what do you expect to do in the meantime?
01:14:38Well, we haven't worked out every detail
01:14:42Exactly
01:14:43Beth
01:14:43This Prime's character is crazy
01:14:45And he's getting crazier by the minute
01:14:48Yes, and we worry about him every minute
01:14:51He is in my head
01:14:52He is in my sleep
01:14:53Beth
01:14:54I know how frustrating this is
01:14:56But this is not the way to solve the problem
01:14:59I've been in touch with Aunt Patty
01:15:01And I told her that you would be staying with her in Minneapolis
01:15:04Oh, no
01:15:05I am not gonna let him follow me all over the country
01:15:08All right, time out here just a second
01:15:11See your house is out in the country?
01:15:13It's very woodsy
01:15:14And it's isolated
01:15:15Woodsy enough to hide some cops
01:15:18I mean, assuming they're a little smaller than I am
01:15:21Definitely
01:15:22Why are you encouraging them?
01:15:25Look, I know this is risky
01:15:27But the young lady's got a point
01:15:28Unless we start taking some chances to this guy
01:15:31He's gonna run us all into the ground
01:15:43I don't believe I'm considering it
01:16:01I want you to know right now
01:16:03I don't like this
01:16:04But I realize I agreed to it
01:16:06So go ahead, tell me what you're thinking
01:16:09Where do you plan on putting a surveillance equipment?
01:16:15Well, the first thing we can do is get set up
01:16:16Miss abandoned van here
01:16:18We're gonna do everything we can to cooperate with you, Judge Knowlton
01:16:21But
01:16:22This is kind of a big operation for what if
01:16:26I realize that
01:16:27I realize that
01:16:27And I appreciate it
01:16:28And you understand that we're gonna have to pull our people out of here first thing in the morning
01:16:33Yes, I understand
01:16:34All right
01:16:38I'm gonna go check this barn out here
01:16:46Hey, it's worth a shot, lady
01:16:51Put the spare key in an envelope
01:16:52And I have written down the security code
01:16:55What, are you sure you want to turn on the security system?
01:16:57I mean, maybe we should
01:16:59Don't we want him to break in?
01:17:00We'll lock the doors
01:17:01And then we'll leave one window open a crack
01:17:03You sure you want to make it that difficult?
01:17:05I mean, why not leave all the doors and windows wide open?
01:17:08Perhaps a trail of breadcrumbs leading into the bedroom
01:17:10Mom, the police are going to be right outside
01:17:13This guy has sneaked by law enforcement half a dozen times
01:17:17What makes you think he won't do it again?
01:17:19I don't know
01:17:20You said that I had to learn to empower myself
01:17:23That you couldn't do it for me
01:17:24Well, fine, I agree
01:17:26It's just that every time I try
01:17:28You veto it or put me on a plane to somewhere
01:17:32I cannot let you handle everything for me anymore, Mom
01:17:37Just be careful, Beth
01:17:39I don't want to have to say I told you so
01:18:04I don't want to have to say I don't want to have to cry
01:18:06I don't want to have to say I don't want to understand
01:18:09So, I don't want to have to say I mean, where to look like I don't know
01:18:10I'm sorry, I don't want to have to pray
01:18:18But keep me that I know
01:18:20I don't want to know
01:18:21I don't want to have to say I told you so
01:18:23The only reason why I'm afraid that I'm afraid of
01:18:31I love register how does he do that dancing on the ceiling thing beats me but
01:18:38oh what time is it 1 10 10 should we kill a lot should we turn off the lights

01:22:00Get out of here, Beth.
01:22:01Shut up!
01:22:02There's been a problem all along.
01:22:05If it weren't for you, Beth and I never would have split up.
01:22:09Stephen?
01:22:09You don't tell me it's not true, Beth.
01:22:13I know you're tough, Judge.
01:22:15Nobody's good enough for your daughter, right?
01:22:17Believe me, Martha.
01:22:19I'm good enough.

01:22:45What, now I want to and you don't want to?

01:23:51You wouldn't hurt me.
01:23:52You love me.

01:24:12You're not gonna ruin my life.

01:24:25No!
01:24:27Okay?
01:24:29Don't you move!
01:24:33You just like all the rest.
