00:01:30.
00:01:31.
00:01:40.
00:01:40.
00:01:40All in your attitude. You believe in your case, you make the judge believe in your case.
00:01:46Don't be intimidated by the fact that you're not a lawyer, because...
00:01:51The other guy's not a lawyer either.
00:01:53Exactly. Neil, come on up here and tell him how it's done.
00:02:01I had a problem with my landlord. He says I didn't give him 30 days' notice to move.
00:02:07I say I did. He didn't want to give me my deposit money back.
00:02:11Guess what? I got it.
00:02:14Next time, Neil will tell you how he got it.
00:02:22I got your message.
00:02:24Yeah, thank you for coming by.
00:02:28I got a little project for you, but it's going to have to wait.
00:02:32I've got classes all afternoon.
00:02:33I'll talk tomorrow, Neil. I gotta go.
00:02:35Buddy, do me a favor. Clean this stuff up.
00:02:37The, uh, blackboard for me, a French for travelers class comes in here next.
00:02:42Bye, Billy.
00:02:44See you later.
00:02:46Bye.
00:02:55Oh, cold hands.
00:02:58I have a cold heart, too.
00:02:59No way.
00:03:01You get to know me better, you'll see.
00:03:03Maybe this afternoon. What time's your last class?
00:03:05Actually, I'm done. I have to go meet my mom. We're, uh, taking pictures.
00:03:09Is she a model?
00:03:11No.
00:03:11She's a judge. The bar association is honoring her, and they need a picture of her for the tribute book,
00:03:16so...
00:03:17Since I am kind of a photographer...
00:03:19I know. I'm waiting for you to do a session with me.
00:03:25I have to go.
00:03:27Okay.
00:03:28I'll see you later.
00:03:30Okay. Thanks.
00:03:32Bye.
00:03:32Bye.
00:03:32Bye.
00:03:34That's right, baby.
00:03:36Walk away.
00:03:38He's not for you.
00:03:44I know, Your Honor.
00:03:45I know I messed up in the past.
00:03:47These are my kids.
00:03:49And I promise you I'd never mess up when my kids are involved.
00:03:55Okay, Miss Lewis.
00:03:57Because I hate to see any child grow up without its mother,
00:04:00I'm going to trust that you'll do it right this time.
00:04:02I will, Your Honor.
00:04:03I promise on my life.
00:04:05It's their lives I'm concerned about.
00:04:07You do this right now, you hear me?
00:04:09I am going to deny the petition of placement in foster care.
00:04:13With all due respect, Your Honor,
00:04:15we feel Janelle Lewis has already proven she is an unfit mother.
00:04:19I know your position, Counselor.
00:04:20It's also the position of social services.
00:04:23I know that, and I haven't taken your input lightly.
00:04:26I feel that Miss Lewis deserves an...
00:04:28Now, I want all interested parties back here, and Miss Lewis...
00:04:32Yes, Your Honor.
00:04:33At that time, I want concrete evidence that you have held a steady job
00:04:37and that you've enrolled in parenting classes.
00:04:39Your Honor, if I may...
00:04:40You have had your say, Counselor.
00:04:43Do we have a deal?
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:45Yes.
00:04:46Janelle, your children need you.
00:04:47Don't disappoint them again.
00:04:51We're dismissed.
00:04:58I think you'll be fine.
00:05:01So...
00:05:01Okay, what do you want me to do?
00:05:03Mmm, let's see a big smile.
00:05:06Now, give me one of those serious stretch faces.
00:05:12There you are.
00:05:13Hi, Paula.
00:05:15Oh, great.
00:05:15Aunt Paula, get in there.
00:05:16A perfect symmetry, a mentor and a reprise student.
00:05:20I'm here to tell you who's presenting your award at the dinner.
00:05:24Who?
00:05:25Shake hands.
00:05:27Me.
00:05:28Oh, really?
00:05:30Okay, come on down here.
00:05:31Come on down here.
00:05:34I want to hear all about this.
00:05:40Now, you know, Paula, it's harder for good friends to lie,
00:05:43but I expect lies, good ones.
00:05:51How about taking a picture of me and Beth?
00:05:52Oh, sure.
00:05:53No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:54The whole point I got into photography
00:05:56was I did not have to be on that side of the camera.
00:05:58Come on, what do I do?
00:05:59Push that button.
00:06:03All right.
00:06:03Say cheese.
00:06:04Cheese.
00:06:07Okay, great.
00:06:10Uh, thank you.
00:06:11Honey, you want to join Paula and I for dinner tonight?
00:06:13Uh, no, I can't.
00:06:14I have to go to the Eclectic Cafe by 5.30.
00:06:16Other place over on Main?
00:06:17Mm-hmm.
00:06:18Yeah, I'm meeting the manager.
00:06:19He's going to look at my portfolio.
00:06:20He displays student art from time to time, so...
00:06:23Ooh, cross your fingers.
00:06:24We will, we will.
00:06:25Good luck.
00:06:26So when did you hear about this?
00:06:27Justin?
00:06:28I don't know.
00:06:29I don't know.
00:06:42Hi, is Jerry here?
00:06:45Yeah, he's getting the mail.
00:06:50Hi.
00:06:51Hi, Jerry.
00:06:52Beth Nolton.
00:06:53Sorry to take in so long, it's been crazy.
00:06:54No, no problem.
00:06:55Glad to meet you.
00:06:55Great, well, let's see what you brought.
00:06:58Okay.
00:06:59I hope you like black and white.
00:07:00All right.
00:07:00I have non-fat iced latte.
00:07:07Hey, Jerry, how's it going?
00:07:08Oh, hey, Steve.
00:07:12Mm-hmm.
00:07:14Wow.
00:07:16Great 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.
00:07:36Stephen Primes.
00:07:38Beth Milton.
00:07:38I bet.
00:07:42What 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 two.
00:08:04One for the proverbial starving artist here.
00:08:09You know, Beth, I need some pictures for business, typically 8 by 10 stuff, but I'm trying
00:08:15to avoid that whole, you know, indoor studio, suit and tie routine.
00:08:20Right, yeah.
00:08:22What do you say?
00:08:24What, me?
00:08:25Yes.
00:08:27You mean it?
00:08:28Absolutely.
00:08:28With that kind of work, we could meet here Saturday around 1, maybe get some lunch, just
00:08:34take the whole afternoon.
00:08:36Great.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:40Okay.
00:08:41Cheers.
00:08:44Lights okay?
00:08:45Oh yeah, the lights really nice.
00:08:47A little bit later we'll get some of the gold now.
00:08:54It's good.
00:08:58It's good.
00:08:59It's good.
00:09:05It's good.
00:09:05It's good.
00:09:06It's good.
00:09:07It's good.
00:09:08It's good.
00:09:09It's good.
00:09:09It's good.
00:09:09It's good.
00:09:09It's good.
00:09:10It's good.
00:09:10It's good.
00:09:10It's good.
00:09:11It's good.
00:09:12It's good.
00:09:13It's good.
00:09:14It's good.
00:09:14It's good.
00:09:16It's good.
00:09:19Okay, I'm going to go change film.
00:09:21Okay.
00:09:38This is a nice surprise.
00:09:41Good.
00:09:41Yeah, I'm almost finished.
00:09:42Great.
00:09:44Feel like a movie?
00:09:45Uh, yeah.
00:09:47Hi.
00:09:48Steven Primes.
00:09:49Kyle Kennedy.
00:09:50I took your small claims class a few years back.
00:09:52Oh, great.
00:09:53You ready, Bev?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:09:58I'll call you later.
00:09:59See you around.
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 decide.
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.
00:11:06Sorry.
00:11:08I thought maybe it was that kid.
00:11:09What's his name?
00:11:09Kevin?
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?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:30This is way too much.
00:11:32From where I'm sitting, it's a bargain.
00:11:40Hi.
00:11:44So I got my first photography job.
00:11:48A commission?
00:11:50Yes.
00:11:50Oh, that's wonderful.
00:11:51Tell 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 law journal.
00:12:01A lawyer.
00:12:02Do I know him?
00:12:03No, no.
00:12:04Steven Primes.
00:12:04He's not a lawyer.
00:12:05He teaches at school.
00:12:06I think it's wonderful, Beth.
00:12:08Guess 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?
00:12:50Yes.
00:12:52How you doing?
00:12:53Um, I was looking for Beth Knowlton.
00:12:54Uh, she got off at two o'clock today.
00:12:56Oh.
00:12:57I bet you were from noon to six.
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 a lot of water...
00:13:08You said this has all...
00:13:08Oh.
00:13:11What?
00:13:22Oh, no!
00:13:24Oh!
00:13:25Oh, no!
00:13:26Oh, no.
00:13:27Oh, no, no, no!
00:13:29Oh, no!
00:13:30Oh, no, no.
00:13:30Oh, no.
00:13:30Oh, no.
00:13:34Oh, no.
00:13:34Oh, no.
00:13:42I don't know.
00:14:14I don't know.
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 you're dead with 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.
00:23:22Oh.
00:23:23Took a chance you'd be here.
00:23:26You have a boss?
00:23:27What, 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.
00:23:43Said you were dating.
00:23:45Oh, Kyle.
00:23:46No, no, no, Stephen 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 P-H Primes.
00:24:51I said that?
00:24:53Stephen with a P-H?
00:24:57What's this?
00:25:00Come on.
00:25:19Steven, put me down.
00:25:21Put me down!
00:25:43I'm just calling to say sweet dreams.
00:25:46I've got so much to tell you, so call me, okay?
00:25:49I miss you.
00:25:54I miss you.
00:26:22I miss you.
00:26:52I miss you.
00:27:06Now, maybe I'm overreacting here, but it seems like whenever you and I go somewhere together, this guy shows up.
00:27:11I know, I know.
00:27:13Now, either he's got incredible psychic powers, or someone tells him exactly where we're gonna be.
00:27:23Beth.
00:27:25I'm gonna do something about it.
00:27:27When?
00:27:28When, Beth?
00:27:29Soon.
00:27:30Look, I don't like being the guy in the way.
00:27:32You're not.
00:27:34It'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?
00:27:43But 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?
00:28:13What can I do?
00:28:16Well, I'm jealous.
00:28:19Yeah, I'm jealous.
00:28:20Yeah.
00:28:20Yeah, I'm jealous.
00:28:21It's just a freaking fuss on you.
00:28:23Three minutes.
00:28:24Three minutes.
00:28:25You're right.
00:28:26You're right.
00:28:26And the water on the last night.
00:28:28Eight minutes.
00:28:29That's a bunch of water!
00:28:31Get out!
00:28:32Get out!
00:28:33Get out!
00:28:35Go the page!
00:28:36Be safe.
00:28:37A train smell of that is holding.
00:28:40What's going on, why are you holding me?
00:28:42Wait, sir.
00:28:44Come here and back.
00:28:46Right?
00:28:46Oh, my God.
00:29:24Beth!
00:29:25Hey, you didn't call me back.
00:29:28That's all right. I'll let it go this time.
00:29:31Hey, you want to grab some lunch?
00:29:33Since you dressed for it, how about seafood?
00:29:37Hey, Beth, these are the jokes. It doesn't get any better than this.
00:29:40Look, I have some place to be, okay? I'm late.
00:29:44You get Thursdays off.
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?
00:30:00American Lit, lunch at the patio, the pool.
00:30:05Where else?
00:30:07I don't know. Why don't you tell me?
00:30:10I'm just trying to help, Beth.
00:30:14I mean, I'd be happy to call you a locksmith or give you a ride home, whatever you need.
00:30:19I'm fine. I'll manage.
00:30:22It's just everything, all right? It's today.
00:30:25Wait a second.
00:30:29Hello.
00:30:30I must have dropped them.
00:30:36I'm sorry. Thank you.
00:30:42It's okay.
00:30:49Bye.
00:31:09This 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 fast.
00:31:20Pizza piece offering, pizza piece offering, pizza piece offering.
00:32:07Pizza offering, pizza offering, pizza offering, pizza offering.
00:32:41Pizza offering, pizza offering, pizza offering.
00:33:03Marine biology.
00:33:07I was thinking law school.
00:33:08Oh, that's good.
00:33:09Not the regular stuff, but maybe 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 list of court.
00:33:18She sounds cool.
00:33:20And 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 remind me as beautiful as you are?
00:33:51Well, 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 come 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.
00:35:18Well, 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, but 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.
00:36:30I love that you do.
00:36:32Thanks.
00:36:33Cheers.
00:36:34I'm glad you're here.
00:36:34Oh, so nice to be here.
00:36:36Martha, the garden looks wonderful.
00:36:38Oh, thank you.
00:36:39You'll be 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?
00:36:55That's engaged.
00:36:57To a consultant named Stephen Primes.
00:37:01Excuse me.
00:37:07Did I say something wrong?
00:37:23Martha.
00:37:26How is she?
00:37:28Well, she's really upset, you know.
00:37:29I didn't realize how strange this situation had gotten with this guy, this Stephen Primes.
00:37:34I'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
00:37:50so...
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.
00:37:57Worse, 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.
00:38:08It never does.
00:38:10A few phone calls.
00:38:12Chance encounters.
00:38:14Little notes.
00:38:16Special 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.
00:38:32I mean, he knows that I'm a judge, a lawyer.
00:38:34What does he think I'm going to do?
00:38:35Sanction 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.
00:38:45He 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.
00:38:58Beth, 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?
00:39:19Well, 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.
00:39:33He'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.
00:40:11And then some other woman has to deal with it, right?
00:40:15Nice to meet you, Mr. Serbo.
00:40:17Just these guys.
00:40:19Not formal guys.
00:40:24I'll be in touch.
00:40:25Thanks.
00:40:27Thanks.
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.
00:40:40He 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, all right, I got an investigator that handles most of my stuff exclusively, but
00:41:13you never 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 a lot.
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, the judge simply couldn't handle my being with Beth instead of with 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 going to say this once, and then 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 going to 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.
00:44:26Oh, dear.
00:44:28Oh, it's just a little gonna go.
00:44:43Hey!
00:44:44What?
00:44:44Ah!
00:44:46Ah!
00:44:46Look!
00:44:49Ah!
00:44:52Ah!
00:44:53Ah!
00:44:54Ah!
00:44:55No!
00:44:56I can't!
00:44:56Somebody!
00:44:57Help me!
00:44:59No!
00:45:05Excuse me, what's going on?
00:45:08So, you didn't see his face at all?
00:45:11No, but I know that it was him.
00:45:13I need more to go on.
00:45:15Are you sure that it wasn't this guy, Lewis?
00:45:19I'm positive.
00:45:20It 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 Welner, let's get something straight right now.
00:45:29This was not a stunt.
00:45:31This 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.
00:45:41We'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.
00:46:17It 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.
00:46:41I really appreciate it.
00:46:42Okay.
00:46:49Can I help you?
00:46:50Steven Pratt?
00:46:51That's right.
00:46:52Have a nice day.
00:47:02No.
00:47:04Law.
00:47:06And...
00:47:07No.
00:47:10Person...
00:47:12Will...
00:47:15Come...
00:47:20Between...
00:47:21Us...
00:47:25You...
00:47:27Belong...
00:47:28To me...
00:47:34I...
00:47:37Belong...
00:47:38I...
00:47:39Know...
00:47:40You...
00:47:45You...
00:47:47Will...
00:47:48Be...
00:47:50My...
00:47:52Goddess...
00:47:55And I...
00:47:58Will...
00:47:59Be...
00:48:01Your...
00:48:03God...
00:48:07You...
00:48:07Our...
00:48:08Our union...
00:48:10Our union...
00:48:11Will take place in a non-religious setting.
00:48:14There will be no religious music or symbols permitted.
00:48:18There 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.

00:55:05Now I understand it all too well
00:55:08That miserable
00:55:10He knew just when we'd be gone
00:55:13He was watching
00:55:23Hey, let's go
00:55:25Hey, let's go!
00:55:26Hurry up!
00:55:44Hey, there you go!
00:55:45Come on!
00:55:46Come on!
00:55:47Come on!
00:55:47Come on!
00:55:49You 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
00:55:59Sounds 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
00:56:28Just as an extra precaution
00:56:31Elizabeth Emerson
00:56:34Got a nice ring
00:56:38K-N-O-W-L-T-O-N Beth
00:56:44Also try Elizabeth
00:56:47It's a new listing
00:56:49Get into the phone system, see what you can find out
00:56:52Start with the Phoenix area, then check Tucson, Neal
00:56:55Wait a minute, the whole state?
00:56:56Just do it, Neal
00:56:57The quicker you do it, the sooner you get paid
00:57:04Look, buddy
00:57:05This is the third message I've left, and you're beginning to piss me off
00:57:08Now I know you know where she is, and I want that information
00:57:11Now!
00:57:13Five minutes, or you're gonna regret it
00:57:16You better hear me, or you're dead
00:57:19Dead!
00:57:22Came back from a camping trip Sunday, and this was waiting
00:57:24Ten messages from this guy, this 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 he threatening somebody?
00:57:38Well, if you made the calls to me or Beth
00:57:41Then the restraining order would apply, but 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 if 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
00:57:55We can get that started
00:57:57Do it
00:58:00You don't want to keep this
00:58:02I guess, thanks
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
00:58:25All right
00:58:26See you later
00:58:27Okay
00:58:31I don't believe it
00:58:32The court system, an experienced PI, the police department
00:58:35There's not a damn thing that any one of us can do to protect my daughter
00:58:39And that guy is out there like a scorpion just 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
00:58:59Hey, you don't seem to understand who you're dealing with here
00:59:06I'm really the last guy
00:59:08You want to make mad?
00:59:09Pay attention to me!
00:59:11Pay attention!
00:59:19I'm really sorry, Mr. Primes
00:59:20But her records have been transferred and that's all the information I can give out
00:59:23I understand the rules
00:59:24It's just that she asked me to send her her midterm break
00:59:27Would you excuse me for just one sec?
00:59:29Sure
00:59:30Hello, restaurant
00:59:32Yeah, what you need to do is send a check for $25 and a self-address to her condo
00:59:43Okay, sure
00:59:45So, Mr. Primes, if you wanted to...
00:59:51I think I got it
00:59:52There's an E.Nolton, North Arroyo in Denver
00:59:55It's a new listing
00:59:56There's two numbers
00:59:57My guess is one is a fact
00:59:59You got an address?
01:00:01A boy
01:00:02Well, not so fast
01:00:03It's E.
01:00:04It could be Edward
01:00:05Or Ezekiel
01:00:06No, no, no, that's a girl trick
01:00:09It makes the name sound more mysterious
01:00:12A lot of guys out there like to make weird phone calls, I guess
01:00:15There's gonna be a nice fat check for you in the mail
01:00:17Hey
01:00:18Hey
01:00:23Okay, folks
01:00:25Are you ready to win one?
01:00:26Yeah!
01:00:27Are you ready to get what you want out of life?
01:00:30Yeah!
01:00:31Then let's go for it
01:00:32Nice!
01:00:44Are you Elizabeth Nolton?
01:00:46Yeah, Liz
01:00:47I'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, Steven
01:01:19Ah, there's great classes, Mom
01:01:20Yeah, I'm taking a sculpting with Studio Light
01:01:23Taking a commercial photography class
01:01:24Oh, and there's even a photojournalism seminar
01:01:26Given by Pauline Adros
01:01:28She's this famous photographer
01:01:29Yes, I do know her
01:01:31She and I spoke at the same seminar a few years ago
01:01:33You're kidding
01:01:34Well, finally you're impressed with me
01:01:37More importantly, honey
01:01:38It sounds like things are 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 best friends
01:01:58I have noticed an awful lot of mail going out though
01:02:01As long as he's not sending 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 just obsessed
01:02:12He doesn't back off that fast
01:02:16Whatever you say, Z
01:02:22Did you really think I wouldn't find you?
01:02:25Did you really think I'd let you get away?
01:02:28I am coming for you, Elizabeth
01:02:31Who is this?
01:02:33Hello?
01:02:45Hello?
01:02:47I know it's not your fault
01:02:49But you have to call me now
01:02:55Call me now
01:02:56Call me now
01:02:56Don't ignore me
01:03:00She'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 a damn thing about it
01:03:10You sure made some impression on this guy
01:03:12I don't know any Steven in Phoenix
01:03:14That's what's so bizarre
01:03:16I have no idea who this guy is
01:03:18What he looks like
01:03:19Why he fixated on me
01:03:20No last name, no return address
01:03:23It's gonna be hard to protect you from a nameless, faceless guy in another state
01:03:26I finally buy the perfect house
01:03:29I organize things so I can work out of here
01:03:31My life was so good
01:03:34This guy is not gonna chase me out of my house
01:03:36Well, we'll keep a watch on the area
01:03:40And you alert us if 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 will stay in Phoenix
01:03:49I know, I'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 that I have no idea what he looks like
01:03:57He could be standing next to me in line at the supermarket
01:03:59Or sitting by me in the movies
01:04:01How would I know?
01:04:04Yeah, well, you're right
01:04:34Looking good
01:04:35Give me that smile
01:04:36How?
01:04:37How?
01:04:38That's great
01:04:39Cool
01:04:40Come on
01:04:41Here, come here
01:04:42Watch this
01:04:43Duh
01:04:45Duh
01:05:05Duh
01:05:13Hello
01:05:14I 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
01:06:08Oh, God
01:06:22What is it?
01:06:24It's bad news
01:06:25I lost him
01:06:26Damn it
01:06:27When?
01:06:29Sometime between 9 o'clock last night and 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, sick
01:06:37He's not at his house either
01:06:38All right, all right, take it easy
01:06:39So, he's not at work and he's not at home
01:06:42Well, maybe we want to look at 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, I got sources of 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 to Denver right now?
01:07:00Give it till the end of the day, see if he turns up
01:07:02And if not, yes, go
01:07:03I mean, my God, how do you predict what 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, the famous lady photographer
01:07:27Photojournalist, actually
01:07:28Woman photojournalist
01:07:30Right, you keep working on me
01:07:32Now, hold on
01:07:32Your mother sure used to
01:07:35Hello
01:07:36Martha
01:07:37You okay?
01:07:39Yeah, she's standing right here
01:07:41Famous woman judge
01:07:42Wants a word with you
01:07:44Hello
01:07:46What kind of new development?
01:07:49Mm-hmm
01:07:51I will be careful
01:07:53Mom, I'm not gonna let him ruin my life here too, okay?
01:07:57No, I have a new name
01:08:00I live in a new state
01:08:03Right
01:08:04Right
01:08:05Mom, he's not gonna find me, I promise
01:08:08I have to go, okay?
01:08:09I'll call you later
01:08:11Bye
01:08:13Bye
01:08:16What's the problem?
01:08:26Beth?
01:08:27It's me!
01:08:28Steven, open up!
01:08:33Beth, open the door!
01:08:36Someone is breaking down my door
01:08:38Can you get here quickly, please?
01:08:40Please?
01:08:41Please?
01:08:42536 Royal Lane
01:08:43Yes, Elizabeth Knowlton
01:08:45Please hurry
01:08:56Harry, call the cops and they're on their way right now!
01:08:59They better back off!
01:09:00No chance, now that I've found you again
01:09:05Open the door, Beth
01:09:06I've got a gun and 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, those crazed eyes
01:09:27And you never saw him before tonight, other than on tape?
01:09:30No, never
01:09:31You know the girl?
01:09:32No, I've never seen him
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, just 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?
01:10:14I got your message on the machine
01:10:15You said it upset, what's going on?
01:10:17I got this strange phone call from this cop in Colorado, right?
01:10:21And it turns out that there is another Elizabeth Knowlton living outside of Denver
01:10:25Who was sent to videotape from Steven Primes
01:10:28Another Elizabeth Knowlton?
01:10:29Yeah, and I asked them if 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, so Primes has known all along that Beth is in Denver
01:10:39Only 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 and 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?
01:11:04You alright now?
01:11:07Yeah
01:11:09I just thought it was over, that's all
01:11:10I thought you'd beaten him
01:11:14No, he's so close to her and 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, he did not follow me
01:11:41Okay
01:11:42I'm sorry, this 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 close
01:11:51It was too close
01:11:54Did he see you?
01:11:55I don't think so
01:11:56Is he 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...
01:12:07You might not have realized
01:12:09Um, Beth
01:12:11How did you ever, um...
01:12:12Meet 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!
01:12:30He 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
01:12:36And then everyday he sent this mail
01:12:38You've seen this?
01:12:40Look at this
01:12:41Oh, yeah
01:12:42It's the same awful handwriting
01:12:45I've seen it
01:12:45He is so weird
01:12:47What's this?
01:12:50The wedding of Elizabeth Emerson Knowlton
01:12:52And Stephen David Primes
01:12:54On the 17th of...
01:12:55August?
01:12:58It's the 17th again
01:12:59What is with that date?
01:13:00I don't know, it's...
01:13:02Well, we met
01:13:03On May 17th
01:13:06He has this...
01:13:08Fixation on anniversaries
01:13:09His two week anniversary
01:13:10One month anniversary
01:13:13Oh...
01:13:13It's really weird
01:13:19I bet he's gonna be at your house on the 17th
01:13:23Unless he finds me here first
01:13:26It's so odd
01:13:28I was anti-gun
01:13:29I was anti-gun
01:13:30I was anti-violence
01:13:35Now, I could actually shoot him
01:13:38I don't know what's happening to me
01:13:40He's turning me into someone I never wanted to be
01:13:43I don't know
01:13:44He just...
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...
01:13:54To do something
01:13:55Catch him breaking the law
01:13:56Or...
01:13:57You 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
01:14:25We have grounds to arrest him
01:14:26And then we'll get 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, this Prime's character is crazy
01:14:46And 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, I 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
01:15:08Alright, 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
01:15:15Would you 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, I don't like this
01:16:04But I realize I agreed to it, so...
01:16:07Go ahead, tell me what you're thinking
01:16:09Where do you plan on putting a surveillance equipment?
01:16:14Well, the first thing we can do is get set up this 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
01:16:27And I appreciate it
01:16:29And you understand that we're gonna have to pull our people out of here first thing in the morning?
01:16:33Yes, I understand
01:16:34Alright
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 and I have written down the security code
01:16:55What, are you sure you wanna turn around the security system?
01:16:57I mean, maybe we should...
01:16:59Don't we want him to break in?
01:17:01We'll lock the doors and then we'll leave one window open a crack
01:17:04Sure you wanna 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 a 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
01:17:26Just that every time I try, you 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 wanna have to say I told you so
01:18:08I'm gonna go

01:22:01Shut up!
01:22:02It's been a problem all along.
01:22:05If it weren't for you, Beth and I never would have split up.
01:22:09Steven?
01:22:09You don't tell me it's not true, Beth.
01:22:13I know your type, Judge.
01:22:15Nobody's good enough for your daughter, right?

01:22:30Yeah, I mean, he's right, Mom.
01:22:32I mean, if it wouldn't have been for you, he and I would have been together all this time.
01:22:36And you can't stop us anymore, so...
01:22:39Let's go.
01:22:45What, now I want to and you don't want to?
01:22:47Wait, you're not sure?
01:22:49I'm sure.
01:22:50Okay.

01:22:55Beth, what are you even talking-
01:22:56Shut up!
01:23:00I'm gonna go get my watch.
01:23:05Hey.
01:23:07I told you, it was my dad's.
01:23:09I'll just be a second.
01:23:11Okay.
01:23:12Okay.
01:23:38Let's do this.
01:23:39your idea of a wedding present? Drop that knife. Drop it! You wouldn't hurt me, you love me. We
01:23:53both know that, Beth. We're gonna go away now. I've arranged everything. The wedding, the honeymoon.
01:24:03Just give me the gun, Beth. I don't think you understand. I don't love you. I love you!
01:24:09You make my skin call, but I'm not gonna ruin my life. You cannot control me anymore.
01:24:23No, Beth, don't! Stop! Okay? Don't you move! You just let all the rest.
01:24:40It just didn't seem right. Thought I'd go back and check on you.
01:24:51Like I said, weird, scary, and way too old, man.
01:24:59I don't know.
01:25:00I don't know.
