00:00:00James, hey, wake up.
00:00:23Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:30Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:01:00There's somebody in the house.
00:01:06James, James, wake up.
00:01:08James, wake up.
00:01:10Wake up, James.
00:01:11There's somebody down here.
00:01:13Here's help.
00:01:15Somebody in the house, James.
00:01:16Look at me.
00:01:17Look at me.
00:01:30Good morning, husband.
00:01:46Good morning, wife.
00:01:49I didn't know you were up.
00:01:51Why?
00:01:53I didn't think I was the, hey, we're in Vegas, let's get hitched kind of girl.
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:58Well, here we are.
00:02:00Damn right.
00:02:01I got you something.
00:02:08You did?
00:02:11It's just a little post-wedding gift.
00:02:14A small token of my love.
00:02:17Babe, I didn't get you anything.
00:02:21You gave me everything.
00:02:22Go ahead.
00:02:27Open it.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:39Wow.
00:02:39You said you had a watch like it in your 20s that you lost, so.
00:02:46Yeah, I just, I can't believe that you remembered that story.
00:02:56You're welcome.
00:02:57Wow.
00:03:03Uh, so, is Mara cool with this, with us, you know, getting married now?
00:03:11I, I think so.
00:03:13I mean, we're going to have to do something more formal with her sometime soon, but.
00:03:17Absolutely.
00:03:18You know, and my mom is going to move in a minute, so, you know, we can all celebrate our
00:03:22love together.
00:03:23I don't like the sound of that.
00:03:26Hmm.
00:03:27What time's our flight?
00:03:29Uh, it's at noon, so I'll go pick her up and, look, I really, I can't thank you guys
00:03:33enough for letting her stay with us.
00:03:36It means a lot.
00:03:37I just moved in.
00:03:39Now, you've got two of us to deal with.
00:03:41We're family.
00:03:44I mean, I guess it was a little bit weird, but you and I tied the knot.
00:03:47I haven't even met your mom, but.
00:03:49Yeah.
00:03:51Yeah, and she's just, uh, Maggie's been too sick to travel lately.
00:03:55I'm telling you, Kristen.
00:03:56Listen, diabetes can be a real bitch.
00:04:01I should warn you.
00:04:03I can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:05Well, I'm sure I can handle her.
00:04:07I mean, I know I can handle you.
00:04:12Your form is so good.
00:04:27Look, I don't, I don't mean to ruin your workout.
00:04:34I just want to check in on you.
00:04:35Oh, no, it's no worries.
00:04:36It was just about done.
00:04:39I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:41Where is he?
00:04:41Are you speaking his mother up at the airport, remember?
00:04:44Oh, yeah.
00:04:44That's today.
00:04:46You two have been a couple for, like, what, six months now?
00:04:49I cannot believe you haven't even met his mom.
00:04:53Well, I think that this way, isn't it awesome we get to meet her together?
00:04:58Yeah, sure.
00:04:59Why not?
00:05:01Honey, look, I know I've asked you this a bunch of times, but you're...
00:05:03You're not upset, right?
00:05:07I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:09No.
00:05:11No, I just...
00:05:12I think that maybe it feels a little...
00:05:16Soon.
00:05:18I usually reserve that term for bad jokes about tragedy, but...
00:05:23Yeah, maybe a little...
00:05:26But you like him, though, right?
00:05:28James?
00:05:29No, yeah.
00:05:30I really do.
00:05:32I see the way that he treats you.
00:05:33It's very sweet, and I think that you deserve it, but...
00:05:39Like you said, it just...
00:05:41It happened so fast, and I feel like you're still pretty vulnerable after everything that happened last year.
00:05:49Maybe.
00:05:52Honey, I'm an adult, and I know what's right for me.
00:05:57I'm so much better than a year ago.
00:05:59You know, you and James are a big part of why.
00:06:07Heck, you know, between my loving daughter and my new husband and my shrink, I'm pretty much as good as new.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:16I know how terrible it all was, but...
00:06:17Honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:23I have no idea that if there's one, that's one too many.
00:06:30Mom, I would like for you to meet my gorgeous and generous wife, Kristen, and her awesome and equally generous daughter, Mara.
00:06:57This is my mom, Maggie.
00:07:00It's so nice to finally meet you, Maggie.
00:07:03Welcome to our home.
00:07:05Yeah, our casa is your casa.
00:07:09Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:14Mom, come on.
00:07:16Be nice.
00:07:17Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23You're welcome.
00:07:25We're happy to have you.
00:07:26Yeah, we are happy to have you, Mom.
00:07:29Let's sit down.
00:07:29Isn't that nice?
00:07:36I'll try not to be too much trouble.
00:07:40Oh, I'm sure there'll be no trouble at all.
00:07:43Say cheese.
00:07:44What are you doing?
00:07:45I'm just taking your picture.
00:07:48Why?
00:07:49Posterity.
00:07:50I hate having my photo taken.
00:07:52Put that thing away now.
00:07:54It's okay.
00:07:55It's okay, Mom.
00:07:56It's okay.
00:07:57Why don't I go get some refreshments?
00:07:59Hey, Mara, would you help me?
00:08:00Oh, yeah, sure.
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:01Great.
00:08:02Let's leave these two to get a little better acquainted.
00:08:04Mm, all right.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:10So it's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:13Okay.
00:08:15Well, you got a good-sized house here, Kristen.
00:08:20Oh, thanks.
00:08:22A bit tacky for my taste, but that's neither here nor there.
00:08:27Good for you, living high on that hog.
00:08:29You get the money from your first husband or something?
00:08:32Um, no, actually, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:42For the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:44Oh, no, is that right?
00:08:47What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:51I'm a divorce attorney.
00:08:53Ah, got it.
00:08:56So while all those miserable, desperate people are suffering right there in front of you,
00:09:01you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:05I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:09Oh, no, of course not.
00:09:11I'm just kidding.
00:09:13So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:15Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was, you know, the one who suggested that we do it on the spot.
00:09:24Was the wedding nice, or what?
00:09:28Because this mother of the groom never saw a damn photo.
00:09:33There you go.
00:09:35Now we're family.
00:09:37All of us.
00:09:40Isn't that wonderful?
00:09:42Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:09:44See?
00:09:45Look at you two.
00:09:46I knew it.
00:09:47A couple peas in a pod.
00:09:53Mom, is everything okay?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55Yeah, I'm, uh, great.
00:09:57This is going to be so much fun.
00:10:02Uh, you wanted to see me?
00:10:08What's up?
00:10:09Come here.
00:10:10Yeah?
00:10:10Look, I just...
00:10:12What's going on?
00:10:13Kristen, just say it.
00:10:18Did your mother say anything to you about me?
00:10:22Just that she was thankful that you opened up your home to her.
00:10:27Really?
00:10:27She said that?
00:10:28I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much, and I have no idea what I did wrong.
00:10:33Okay, I don't...
00:10:35What happened?
00:10:35I mean, was it something in her tone, maybe?
00:10:37More like something in her words.
00:10:40Ah, Chris, I don't know.
00:10:41Is she just from a different era?
00:10:43And yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:46Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart, and it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you and see what you're made of.
00:10:57Great.
00:10:57I got an F on the first day.
00:10:59Look at me.
00:11:01Relax, okay?
00:11:02I love you and Mara.
00:11:06And yeah, this happened really fast.
00:11:09But we have the rest of our lives to take it easy.
00:11:12All of us.
00:11:13So let's just, you know, let Maggie get used to her new surroundings.
00:11:17I promise.
00:11:19This is all going to work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:32What are you doing here?
00:11:41Well, maybe I just want to see that pretty face of yours.
00:11:44What do you want, Ross?
00:11:47Your request for child support is killing me, baby.
00:11:51Excuse me, baby?
00:11:53You know I don't have that much money.
00:11:55Shrinks make way more money than private investigators.
00:11:58Well, it's not my fault.
00:11:59You know I hate the word shrink.
00:12:00You know, I don't even know why we're getting divorced.
00:12:03Because you slept with your secretary, remember?
00:12:06Right.
00:12:08Hi.
00:12:10Good morning.
00:12:11Sorry, did I make a mistake?
00:12:12Is this not my hour?
00:12:13No, no, I'm sorry.
00:12:14Kristen, of course it is.
00:12:16I'll call you later.
00:12:17I know you will.
00:12:21Please, come in.
00:12:23Thanks.
00:12:27Apologies again, Kristen.
00:12:28That's my soon-to-be ex, and he, oh, never mind.
00:12:33I'm sure you hear about this divorce stuff all day long,
00:12:35and that is not at all the reason you're here.
00:12:39How are you doing?
00:12:41I'm, uh, I'm okay.
00:12:44You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:50James' mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so, you have someone new living in your house.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59She, um, she has diabetes, and she has to use a walker to get around.
00:13:03That poor woman, that's awful.
00:13:05What's she like?
00:13:07She doesn't like me, I can tell you that much.
00:13:09How do you know?
00:13:09I don't know, I'm just, the way that she looks at me, you know, I'm just cold, dismissive.
00:13:18The first time we met, she said something to me about my quickie wedding with her boy.
00:13:22Oh, sounds to me like she's just a little hurt that she didn't get to see you two get married.
00:13:26It sounded more to me like she was upset she didn't get to stop it.
00:13:29Well, mothers-in-laws, the new brides, butting heads, that's not exactly an uncommon thing.
00:13:36But, um, how's your mind doing otherwise?
00:13:41I'm, uh, I'm good.
00:13:44You know, I mean, I haven't had any nightmares the past few months.
00:13:47Mm-hmm.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business without looking in every direction for some guy creeping up behind me.
00:13:56And, I don't know, I can just breathe, I guess.
00:14:02You know, it's, little things.
00:14:05Not so little newsflash.
00:14:08I mean, your stalker actually made it into your house.
00:14:12That's terrifying.
00:14:16I know, I know.
00:14:18I just, um, I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:24I know, lots of people out there would have experienced some kind of breakdown from that.
00:14:29If you ask me, you're doing great.
00:14:34Thanks, Dr. Lewis.
00:14:37Thanks to you, you know.
00:14:40And, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:42Hey, girlie.
00:14:59Hey, what's up, kid?
00:15:01I'm just waiting for Michael to come pick me up.
00:15:03We're gonna go grab a bite to eat.
00:15:04Oh?
00:15:04And who is this Michael person?
00:15:07He's my boo.
00:15:07Your boo?
00:15:09Is he a damn ghost or something?
00:15:12Mom, she's talking about her boyfriend.
00:15:15And I happen to like the kid.
00:15:18That must be him.
00:15:21Michael, you can come in.
00:15:22We're in the living room.
00:15:26There he is.
00:15:27Hey, what's up, James?
00:15:29Well, my spirits.
00:15:30Now I got my lovely mother here in one piece.
00:15:33Or two.
00:15:34How's it hanging, kid?
00:15:36I'm Maggie.
00:15:37Michael, and it's hanging just fine, I guess.
00:15:41Your mama actually allows you to have boys over when she's not home?
00:15:46I'm 19.
00:15:47Exactly my point.
00:15:48Like little rabbits at your age.
00:15:50Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Where is Kristen anyway?
00:15:55Uh, she is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:15:59You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off
00:16:06Therapy
00:16:08It's like a weak sauce on a feeble sandwich
00:16:12It's a little harsh
00:16:14I don't think it's weird for her to get help after everything she's been through
00:16:18Oh?
00:16:19And what happened?
00:16:23Do you know what?
00:16:24I'm starving
00:16:25Should we go?
00:16:25Let's do this
00:16:26Hey Michael
00:16:27Come here
00:16:29I've got something to tell you
00:16:31Yeah, what's up?
00:16:38I've got to lean in if I'm going to tell you
00:16:40You're a strange one, Maggie
00:16:47Yeah, always have been
00:16:49Always will be
00:16:50Hey, come on, Michael
00:16:52Let's go
00:16:53You two have fun
00:16:59Bring me back some cheesecake
00:17:01So, Maggie
00:17:06She's a real kick in the ass, huh?
00:17:09Yeah, she is
00:17:10She's going to need to stop kicking at my mom
00:17:13Or we're going to have a pump
00:17:14How's your mom
00:17:16How's your mom been holding up with the new house guests anyways?
00:17:18She's struggling
00:17:19And I can tell, too
00:17:21And she was doing so well after everything that happened
00:17:23The last thing she needs is this lady picking at her
00:17:26Making her crazy
00:17:26Yeah
00:17:28Yeah
00:17:28Yeah
00:17:28Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.
00:17:59Oh, my God. Are you serious?
00:18:01Steve, do me a favor. You call building management.
00:18:04They really need to get out of the game and have security around here.
00:18:06I mean, that is unacceptable.
00:18:07Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:18:10I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:13You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:18Well, yeah.
00:18:21Well, how close did the guy get to you? Was he, like, a car land?
00:18:25No, no, not that close.
00:18:27I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:30But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:35Yeah, you're making valid points.
00:18:41Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:45This is Kristen.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:06Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:15This is Kristen.
00:19:27Hello?
00:19:31Who is this?
00:19:42Stop calling me!
00:19:44Wow. Well, hello to you, too.
00:19:47Hi, James.
00:19:48Is everything okay?
00:19:51Yeah, yeah. I just kept getting this unknown number,
00:19:54and then when I answered, no one was there, and...
00:19:57You know what? Never mind. Everything's fine.
00:20:01Good. Well, Mara is out to dinner with Michael.
00:20:05I am done returning my client calls for the day,
00:20:08and it's just Mom and I here.
00:20:10We were wondering when you'd be coming home.
00:20:11I think she misses you already.
00:20:13Um, uh, soon.
00:20:16Good. See you soon. Bye.
00:20:18Okay, bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:20You can't be serious.
00:20:26You can't be serious.
00:20:39It's not gonna be for long, okay? Just a few months max.
00:20:43A few months? Mara, I'm talking to two realtors who are looking for apartments for us right now in L.A.
00:20:48Well, Michael, I don't know what you want me to say, okay?
00:20:51I can't just leave her alone right now.
00:20:53But she's a grown woman who can-
00:20:55Got the daylight scared out of her by some maniac at her spin class?
00:20:59Yeah, like a year ago.
00:21:03Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:08I have no idea. Okay? She was getting constant phone calls every single day.
00:21:13This psychopath was leaving these very disturbing messages talking about how they were soulmates,
00:21:17and how they were meant to be together, and she should just give in to fate.
00:21:21Oh.
00:21:22Calling her all the time, following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:25He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was gonna be.
00:21:30I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:34Jesus, you never talked about it much. I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:39Frightening?
00:21:42The dude broke into our house.
00:21:45And that's the night that she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:51Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most, I was at some stupid house party playing beer pong.
00:21:58You know, if I would have been there, who knows? Maybe I could have helped her keep it together.
00:22:04Mara, you can't blame yourself for that.
00:22:07Can't I? Just a little?
00:22:11I mean, I do feel responsible. That's why I've been sleeping at home again.
00:22:19Yeah. Don't remind me.
00:22:21Look, it's just gonna be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:27So, whatever happened to that spin-class stalker anyways?
00:22:31The police came, they carted him away, but, you know, unfortunately by then, some real damage had already been committed.
00:22:37And was she, like, committed?
00:22:42Yeah. Briefly. Just a couple of days, but since then she's just been getting by with support from friends and family.
00:22:50Well, it's a good thing she has a daughter like you, then.
00:22:55James was a really big help, too.
00:22:57Huh. Yeah, I like James.
00:23:00Me too. I don't know. There's always something different about him.
00:23:04You know, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but at least he's been a positive force in my mom's life.
00:23:09I don't know.
00:23:16Hey, Maggie.
00:23:19Kristen.
00:23:19You demolish any marriages today?
00:23:27No. Three or four. Usual amount.
00:23:31What are you doing?
00:23:33Solving the conflicts in the Middle East. It's a lot harder than I thought.
00:23:38What does it look like I'm doing?
00:23:41Playing solitaire, right?
00:23:45I guess I just met. How's it going?
00:23:49What did you say the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:54And how many people usually play it at one time?
00:23:59Just, just one.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08Uh, I'm not really sure. Uh, he's doing some errands or something.
00:24:18What's wrong? You're looking a little frantic.
00:24:21No, I'm fine. It's just...
00:24:31What's the matter? You're not gonna answer it?
00:24:33Hello?
00:24:38Hello?
00:24:43Hello?
00:24:48Hello?
00:24:48No one there?
00:24:52No, there's not.
00:24:59No. No, you don't.
00:25:01No!
00:25:01Where are you rushing off to?
00:25:06I saw you!
00:25:07Hey, Mom, what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even touched your food.
00:25:19Oh, yeah, don't mind me. I'm just a little stressed out for some reason tonight.
00:25:25And there's nothing wrong with that.
00:25:27No. No, of course not.
00:25:29What's wrong with that?
00:25:30Are you getting any more of those calls that we were talking about today?
00:25:37Are you?
00:25:37You know I did.
00:25:41What calls are they talking about?
00:25:43I get unknown callers all the time. I mean, it could be anybody. For all we know, it could be just a super dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:53Yeah. I mean, it could be. Except, you know, a major part of telemarketing is actually talking to the person you're trying to reach.
00:25:59I don't know. I'm sure it's nothing. Well, if it's nothing, why did your lovely new bride race out into the backyard afterwards like her pants were on flipping fire?
00:26:10Mom, you did?
00:26:13You did that, babe? Why?
00:26:16I thought I saw somebody out there.
00:26:21And?
00:26:23And I was wrong.
00:26:26It's okay. It's really okay, Mom.
00:26:29Does all this have something to do with your breakdown last year?
00:26:36James told me that you came close to losing your marbles.
00:26:42I did not. I did not say that. Mom, would you please be interested in my daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:48I thought that's the reason why I came, was for all of us to get to know each other.
00:26:53Well, you could be a little nicer.
00:26:55And I could be from Kalamazoo, but I'm not.
00:26:57I am who I am.
00:27:01One of the great benefits of getting to know each other, and believe me, there aren't many,
00:27:06is being able to say that and know for sure that it's 100% true.
00:27:10Look, I'm sorry.
00:27:16I didn't come here to be anyone's thorn.
00:27:21So if you want me to leave, I will.
00:27:23No, no, Maggie, I, I wouldn't have that.
00:27:33Hey, we're, uh, we're family now, right?
00:27:36Do I have the greatest wife, or what?
00:27:45Oh, you know, will you guys excuse me?
00:27:47Mom?
00:27:48No, Mara, I'm, I'm fine. I just need to get some fresh air.
00:27:51Do you want me to go?
00:27:52No, no, you, you guys, uh, just relax.
00:27:54I don't really blame her.
00:28:00It's a nice night out there.
00:28:10Hey, hey.
00:28:21Maggie, she's, uh, she's sick.
00:28:25Mara, we should be pitying her, not judging her.
00:28:28Well, we're not the one licking down our noses.
00:28:33Look, Mom, I know that I keep asking you this, but are you okay?
00:28:36Yeah, don't worry about me.
00:28:40That's not an answer.
00:28:42Okay, well, you know, for you it is.
00:28:46Look, I know I'm the reason that you put off your move with Michael.
00:28:49Mom.
00:28:49No, Mara, I don't want you putting your life on hold for me.
00:28:52Well, you know, I don't want you back in that place.
00:29:00When you say we, uh, go inside and show us a meal in the middle of the sun,
00:29:03I don't want you to, you know, it's still cool to say chill out.
00:29:07No.
00:29:09But I can show you how to do that.
00:29:10Good.
00:29:11Show me some cool words, too.
00:29:25Oh, hey.
00:29:27Listen, I wanted to thank you for making the John handicap friendly.
00:29:33Maybe you could, uh, take a hint?
00:29:36Come again?
00:29:38Look, you could show a little bit more kindness around here.
00:29:42Okay?
00:29:44And as far as the bathroom upgrade goes, you can thank your son for that.
00:29:50Yeah, but I'm talking to you.
00:29:51And it seems like you have something to say.
00:29:56Is it about your mother?
00:30:00Maggie, my mom has done nothing but show kindness to you.
00:30:03Including giving you a room and a board.
00:30:07And, you know, I see her trying to make it work.
00:30:10She's not tough like you.
00:30:12And you see that, so I'm just...
00:30:16Honestly, I'm really not sure why you have to make it so hard on her.
00:30:20Well, you call it hard.
00:30:21I call it helpful.
00:30:25The worst thing you can do is indulge someone's fantasies when they're not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:35You think she's enjoying this?
00:30:37Oh, there you go.
00:30:38Using the dirty definition.
00:30:40But when you actually break the word down, what it really means is that someone has seen something
00:30:46that's not there due to a psychological need.
00:30:49So what are you saying?
00:30:50Well, I'm saying that's a good thing she's seeing a head doctor.
00:30:54Just saying.
00:30:58Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:31:02I know how I can come off sometimes.
00:31:06But maybe if you just try to see the situation through my eyes,
00:31:12the way you're being protective of your mother,
00:31:16is kind of how I feel about my son.
00:31:19And I might not be around very much longer.
00:31:25In fact, it could be sooner than later.
00:31:28So I...
00:31:29I guess I'm...
00:31:32I'm just trying to make sure that she can do what needs to be done before I'm gone.
00:31:39I get it.
00:31:40I do, it's just...
00:31:42It's a lot.
00:31:44Yeah, so is a mother's love.
00:31:45Well, it's time for me to get to bed.
00:31:59You have a nice night now.
00:32:01Okay?
00:32:01Night.
00:32:15Night.
00:32:17Night.
00:32:18I don't know.
00:32:48It's me. It's me. You should have had a bad dream.
00:32:58Okay.
00:33:00A bad dream.
00:33:02Come here. Come here.
00:33:04Oh, God.
00:33:05I'm so sorry.
00:33:08I'm so sorry.
00:33:18Good morning, boss.
00:33:39Good morning.
00:33:40There you go.
00:33:41You look exhausted.
00:33:44Thanks, Steve. That was the look I was going for.
00:33:48Did Rebecca Palmer confirm for this morning?
00:33:51She should be here in a few minutes.
00:33:53Great. Just enough time to get caffeinated.
00:33:55Let me know when she arrives late.
00:33:57Sure thing.
00:33:58Oh, hey. I just spoke with the building manager.
00:34:01Oh, what do you say?
00:34:02Basically, he said he follows all the protocols in the book.
00:34:05But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint, you're more than welcome.
00:34:09No, that's okay.
00:34:11I feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.
00:34:13So let's just put it behind us.
00:34:15Sounds good to me.
00:34:16Hey, Steve.
00:34:36Yeah?
00:34:38Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:40Um, not that I know of.
00:34:43Why?
00:34:46Yes?
00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's here.
00:35:05Uh, thanks.
00:35:08You okay?
00:35:10Yeah, yeah.
00:35:11Can you, uh, show her in, please?
00:35:13All right.
00:35:15It's great to see you.
00:35:16Mm-hmm.
00:35:16How are you today?
00:35:18I, uh, am getting a big fat divorce.
00:35:20How good can I really be?
00:35:22All right.
00:35:23Well, let me see if I can make that a little easier for you.
00:35:26Well, uh, let me start with...
00:35:28Sorry.
00:35:32I should have this on silent.
00:35:33Yes, you should.
00:35:36It's been a bit hectic.
00:35:37My mother-in-law's been staying with us.
00:35:39Mm-hmm.
00:35:39It looks like someone really wants to talk to you.
00:35:45Hmm.
00:35:45Apparently.
00:35:50Uh, okay, so, um, were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:55Yes, I did.
00:35:57I-I emailed that to you three days ago.
00:36:00Right.
00:36:00Yes, of course you did.
00:36:05And maybe this is a bad time.
00:36:07No.
00:36:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:36:08I'm...
00:36:10Oh, my God.
00:36:15What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm-I'm sorry.
00:36:18Rebecca, will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:20And by the time I came back into my office, the client was already gone.
00:36:40Oh, God, what am I saying?
00:36:41She's probably an ex-client by now.
00:36:43I'm sorry that-that happened, Kristen, but, um, this-this second stalker,
00:36:48don't you think that's unlikely based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice?
00:36:55Lucky me, you know, two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women.
00:36:59Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:37:01Now, start from the beginning.
00:37:03Now, you received some calls from an unknown number, and no one was talking back to you.
00:37:07Right, and-and-and then there was somebody who was following me in the parking lot at work,
00:37:12and-and then outside of my house.
00:37:15And now you've received a rose, you said, that was left on your office desk this morning?
00:37:21And a text asking me if I liked it.
00:37:23Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:27Damn it.
00:37:28What?
00:37:29I forgot. I was just freaked out when I saw the message. I deleted it.
00:37:32That's okay.
00:37:33Oh, God. I feel like I'm losing it again.
00:37:36Easy. Easy.
00:37:37Now, last time we sat down, you said you were under extra pressure at home from your mother-in-law moving in.
00:37:43Maggie.
00:37:46You take it? Well, that's not going well.
00:37:48I mean, I get that she's sick, you know, and so I'm trying to just roll with it,
00:37:54but she is relentless in her passive, not-so-passive aggression towards me.
00:38:00And the timing on it all, it couldn't be more worse with this new situation.
00:38:04Do you think I'm going crazy again?
00:38:09A, you didn't last time, and I don't like that word.
00:38:13And B, no.
00:38:14But I think you're pushed pretty close to your limit right now.
00:38:18Now, how have you been sleeping?
00:38:21Not great.
00:38:22So you're tired, your brain is playing little tricks on you,
00:38:25and those phone calls, those could be legitimate wrong numbers.
00:38:30Yeah, and the text that I can show you.
00:38:33And the roles, that could be James trying to surprise you, or...
00:38:37You know what? You could have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach out.
00:38:41But, um, nothing wrong with being extra cautious.
00:38:44These things keep happening.
00:38:46They call me, or...
00:38:48Call the police.
00:38:49So, Dr. Liz, you...
00:38:52You think I could have a stalker again?
00:39:11Wow, look at you out here.
00:39:31What's next? You going to clean out the gutters?
00:39:33Put a fresh coat of paint on the house?
00:39:35Yeah, I mean, that's me, Mr. Suburbia.
00:39:37I'm actually, I'm glad that you're here, and I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:43I'm concerned about your mother.
00:39:46Yeah, me too.
00:39:48That's actually why I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:51Oh, good.
00:39:52I mean, to me, it seems like she's kind of losing it a little, you know, mentally.
00:39:58Yeah, I see it too.
00:40:01Is this how she acted the last time with her breakdown?
00:40:04Yeah, I guess.
00:40:09To be honest, I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time, you know?
00:40:14Because I wasn't expecting it, but I am now.
00:40:17What about this stalker?
00:40:19I mean, do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy?
00:40:22I think that she believes it, and, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot mentally.
00:40:31You don't have to talk to Maggie, James.
00:40:32She's making it worse.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35My mom, she really knows how to push people's buttons.
00:40:39She is who she is.
00:40:40So she declares, look, if you can't control Maggie, I'm going to have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house.
00:40:50I know.
00:40:51I know it sounds harsh, but...
00:40:54I get it.
00:40:57Your mom's mental health is more important.
00:41:00Yeah, good.
00:41:02Great.
00:41:03Yeah.
00:41:03I'm glad we're on the same page with that.
00:41:06100%.
00:41:06Come here.
00:41:08Come here.
00:41:09We love you, James.
00:41:11I don't know if I ever really thanked you for making my mom so happy.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Well, uh, I'll let you get back to it.
00:41:23Oh, you missed a spot.
00:41:28Good eye.
00:41:35Do we have a problem?
00:41:40It's time we go for a ride.
00:41:45Oh, I had a feeling.
00:41:47So you and the girls seem chummier than ever.
00:42:04And when I see you with the mother, I swear I can feel the love.
00:42:09So what's wrong with that?
00:42:10Look, we gotta stay focused.
00:42:12That's what I'm telling you.
00:42:14This place is empty.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21He's supposed to be meeting us here.
00:42:23Hey.
00:42:25Back here.
00:42:28So I had to start drinking.
00:42:31You know, trailing soccer moms all day.
00:42:33It's thirsty business.
00:42:34We didn't come here to drink with you, Max.
00:42:40What are you still doing with that stupid walker?
00:42:42Because, you idiot.
00:42:47I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now, can I?
00:42:55Yeah, yeah.
00:42:56You told me that before.
00:42:57I still don't understand why you used that stupid thing.
00:42:59Because it makes me a sympathetic character, even when I'm acting like a raging bitch.
00:43:06Well, why don't you just kill her with kindness?
00:43:08Because we're supposed to be gaslighting her.
00:43:11It's a delicate act of balance.
00:43:15See, how it works is, somebody, me, puts a target on their heels as much as possible.
00:43:23Well, someone else, him.
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:28I hold their hand, look them in the eye, and I say,
00:43:32everything's going to be all right, baby.
00:43:36Ooh.
00:43:37Get some spinning real good.
00:43:40Well, and then someone else comes along, me, and...
00:43:45pushes them over the edge.
00:43:47Looks like someone's really enjoying themselves.
00:43:50That's funny, because I was about to say the same thing about you.
00:43:53Nah, guilty as charged.
00:43:57Okay, okay.
00:43:58So I get it.
00:43:59Good con, bad con.
00:44:01I get that whole thing.
00:44:03Why this lady?
00:44:04I came across this blog she wrote about her nervous breakdown last year.
00:44:11Some love-struck fool breaks into her house and drives her crazy.
00:44:16So, I hired this guy to help me double down on it.
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:22Once we have it committed, I'll be in complete control of her finances.
00:44:27Won't take long.
00:44:28We'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean.
00:44:32And what about the lady's daughter?
00:44:35Yeah, that's why we're here.
00:44:36The little brat is getting real protective.
00:44:41She'll get rid of us soon, if we don't get this done.
00:44:45And chances are she'll be successful.
00:44:49So, we gotta do this thing tonight.
00:44:54Right, son?
00:44:56Right, Mom.
00:44:56Mom, yoga's supposed to relax you.
00:45:08Not stress you out more.
00:45:12Honey, you and Michael are supposed to be leaving for LA next week.
00:45:16The move has been pushed back a few months, that's all.
00:45:18No, you mean your life is being delayed because of me.
00:45:21No.
00:45:22Because, you know, there's been a whole lot of changes around here lately.
00:45:24Oh, sweetheart, I'm gonna be fine.
00:45:26I mean, I know Maggie can be tough, but I've got James to help me handle her.
00:45:31You know, he really does love me.
00:45:33I know.
00:45:34He would never do anything to hurt me.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:38Come on, let's take a break. I'm dying.
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:43Your job's done here, Max.
00:45:45It's time for you to get out of Dodge.
00:45:54Looks a little light.
00:45:57I told you the deal when I hired you.
00:46:00You get the rest when we all get ours.
00:46:13Fine.
00:46:13I don't want to be there tonight.
00:46:15When it all goes down.
00:46:17Because otherwise this whole thing has felt like a tease.
00:46:18Nah, that's a bad idea.
00:46:22See, first, you don't know the layout of the house.
00:46:25And second, you are a little too stimulated by this whole thing.
00:46:29And I haven't been pushing that flippin' walker for my health either.
00:46:33I need to push this snowflake over the edge tonight.
00:46:40And she cannot know that I am physically capable of it.
00:46:46So, you can't be anywhere near the house.
00:46:50In fact, I don't even want you in the same state.
00:46:54Okay.
00:46:58And I'm gonna need some more money.
00:47:01Up front.
00:47:02Not this when and if.
00:47:04The thing.
00:47:05I'm talking about right now.
00:47:10You gotta be flippin' kidding me.
00:47:13It's like my drunk daddy used to say.
00:47:15A little leverage is better than any beverage.
00:47:23Huh?
00:47:24What do you say?
00:47:25Should we go to an ATM?
00:47:27What?
00:47:27Because you don't want to go back to prison.
00:47:29I know that.
00:47:30And you do not want me telling people what I know.
00:47:39Okay, Max.
00:47:40You win.
00:47:43Finish your drink.
00:47:45And we'll go get you your money.
00:47:51Dynamite.
00:47:54Dynamite.
00:48:00So, we two.
00:48:02You two ain't angry at me, right?
00:48:04Of course not, Max.
00:48:06Good, because you do the same you and me, right?
00:48:09Of course I would.
00:48:10Good.
00:48:11Because we're all just terrible people, right?
00:48:13Well, we have to be.
00:48:14You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:15You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:15You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:15You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:16You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:16You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:17You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:17You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:18You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:18You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:19You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:19You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:20You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:20You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:21You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:21You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:22You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:23You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:23You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:24You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:25You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:25You two ain't angry at me.
00:48:26You
00:48:56You
00:49:26Hey, you love birds
00:49:43I'm turning in
00:49:47Okay, Mom
00:49:48Good night
00:49:51Sleep tight
00:49:52Hey, honey
00:49:54Thank you for everything
00:49:57I mean it
00:49:59Oh, thank you, Mae
00:50:02That means a lot to me
00:50:04I'm going to bed
00:50:16I'm exhausted
00:50:17Ah, me too
00:50:19Yeah, well
00:50:21See you in the morning, okay?
00:50:23I'll be out before my head hits the pillow
00:50:26Night, Maggie
00:50:27Oh, okay
00:50:28Let's go.

00:55:14James.
00:55:16James.
00:55:18James.
00:55:20Hey, wake up.
00:55:22Honey.
00:55:24Honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:26Hey.
00:55:44Hey.
00:55:46Hey.
00:55:50Hey.
00:55:56Hey, hey.
00:55:58Hey.
00:56:09Hey.
00:56:10Hey.
00:56:11I don't know.
00:56:41Oh my God, please. Please answer, please.
00:56:47911, what's your emergency?
00:56:49My name is Winston Walker. I live at 618 Northfield Avenue.
00:56:52I think somebody broke into my house.
00:56:53Ma'am, are you alone?
00:56:54No, no. My daughter's here. And my husband and my mother-in-law.
00:56:59Get everyone together. I'm sending a car right away.
00:57:01Okay, okay. Oh my God. Oh my God.
00:57:08James! James, let me go!
00:57:11Please, please! Please help me!
00:57:14Help! Somebody help me!
00:57:18Please! Please help me!
00:57:20Please, there's somebody help you!
00:57:22Somebody help! Help!
00:57:25Somebody help me!
00:57:26Help! Help! Help!
00:57:29Please! Please!
00:57:30Kristen!
00:57:32Kristen!
00:57:33No!
00:57:33There's somebody's house!
00:57:35It's me! It's me!
00:57:36No, no, no!
00:57:37It's me!
00:57:37There's no one in the house. There's no one. It's just me. It's just me. Look at me. It's just me. It's just me. It's just me. It's okay. It's okay.
00:57:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:07Hi, Denise. I was gonna call you. How's Kristen Walker doing? I'm looking at her right now. She's actually very calm. I really like her. Yeah, me too. Thanks for squeezing her in. I'd hate for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital, even for a few days. It was a close call. I know. She needs a lot of help, Denise. I know. Well, she's gonna be evaluated again next week by the state, but I'm feeling pretty confident we should get her home by the end of the month.
00:58:36From your mouth to God's ears. Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks him through these things. I just give him a place to stay. And bless you for that. Oh, um, Cheryl, I gotta go. I'll check with you later.
00:58:52Hi. Damn it! Will you calm down? Calm down? Where did this halfway house for crazies come from? They were supposed to commit her. Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:06Oh, damn it. All right. I say we find a way to take her out while she's there. You're the husband. You should get the money.
00:59:14We are crooks. We're not murderers. And sometimes we do both. Or did I just dream about what happened at that bar, Mr. Stabby?
00:59:22That was necessary. This is not. I'm sorry I have to ask, but this second stalker, you think this is like a real thing?
00:59:32I don't know, but they can't find any evidence of someone breaking in or leaving the house, so...
00:59:37All I know is that my mom was doing a lot better before Maggie got here.
00:59:42The timing of all this, it could be coincidental, but...
00:59:45Well, do you have any pictures of James and his mother?
00:59:49Actually, yeah, I do.
00:59:51Text her to me, will you?
00:59:53Yeah.
00:59:53Yeah.
00:59:53You know, you got me confused again.
01:00:10One more time.
01:00:12Did you come into this woman's life to love her or to rob her?
01:00:16Don't worry about me. I'm a pro, okay?
01:00:21But we do not need to hurt these people.
01:00:24Let's say that I agree with you.
01:00:26There are too many other people in that support house.
01:00:28We don't even know the floor plan.
01:00:30All right, fine.
01:00:32But if I see you siding with them instead of us, all bets are off.
01:00:39All right, big shot.
01:00:40So what in the hell do we do now?
01:00:42We wait till she comes back here, and we turn up the gas.
01:00:47Damn it!
01:00:48You gotta be kidding me.
01:00:50And what do we do with Mara in the meantime?
01:00:52I don't know.
01:00:54Maybe it's time that we try Max's kill-em-with-kindness routine.
01:00:59Fine.
01:01:00As long as she's not on to us.
01:01:03Question is,
01:01:04what are you prepared to do if she is?
01:01:11Yes.
01:01:12It's me.
01:01:13Come in.
01:01:15You see what I did?
01:01:17I called first,
01:01:18so I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.
01:01:20I'll keep that in mind.
01:01:22But, um,
01:01:23what if I need you for some of your old tricks?
01:01:28Oh, a real dog doesn't forget the old stuff.
01:01:30What do you got?
01:01:31If I text you, um,
01:01:32some pictures,
01:01:33you think you can find out what you can about a couple of people?
01:01:36I mean, I'll owe you one.
01:01:37And considering what you owe me.
01:01:40Well, I don't mind you owing me one.
01:01:43Those are some of my favorite nights, Denise.
01:01:45Don't start.
01:01:46All right.
01:01:48Text me to pics.
01:01:49I'll get right on it.
01:01:50It may be dangerous or even life-threatening.
01:02:08Family history may increase likelihood.
01:02:10In some cases,
01:02:12a combination of medications can work better.
01:02:14Anyone with this disease will need lifelong insulin therapy.
01:02:17I'll get right on it.
01:02:26I'll get my free.
01:02:33I don't know.
01:03:03I don't know.
01:03:33I don't know.
01:03:35I don't know.
01:03:39I don't know.
01:03:41I don't know.
01:03:43You need something?
01:03:44No.
01:03:45No, sorry.
01:03:47My toilet's clogged, so I just figured I would use the one in here.
01:03:51Do you mind?
01:03:52Mind?
01:03:53It's your house, girly.
01:03:55You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:57Tinkle.
01:03:58It's funny.
01:03:59I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:01You sure you don't want me to come?
01:04:02I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:04It's a keg walk compared to what she's going through.
01:04:06Thank you for driving me.
01:04:08I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:10Anybody would be.
01:04:11James didn't want to come?
01:04:12James didn't want to come?
01:04:13I didn't tell him I was coming.
01:04:14I just...
01:04:15I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:16I know that you like James.
01:04:17Hey, Mar.
01:04:18I barely know the guy.
01:04:19And quite honestly, nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:20Yeah.
01:04:21Speaking of mothers.
01:04:22Good luck in there.
01:04:24Thank you for driving me.
01:04:25I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:26Anybody would be.
01:04:27James didn't want to come?
01:04:28I didn't tell him I was coming.
01:04:30I just...
01:04:31I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:34I know that you like James.
01:04:36Hey, Mar.
01:04:37I barely know the guy.
01:04:39And quite honestly, nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:44Speaking of mothers.
01:04:46Good luck in there.
01:04:49You must be Mara.
01:04:50Cheryl.
01:04:51Come on in.
01:04:52How's she doing?
01:04:53She's a little out of it because of the medication, but better overall than you're probably thinking.
01:05:04Okay.
01:05:05Has she talked about what happened?
01:05:06No, but she hasn't said much of anything since she got here.
01:05:09Something tells me she'll be really happy to see you.
01:05:12Kristen?
01:05:13You have a visitor.
01:05:14Hi, sweetheart.
01:05:15Hi, Mom.
01:05:16I'll let you two catch up.
01:05:17I'll be in the kitchen if you need me for anything.
01:05:20Thanks, Cheryl.
01:05:21Mm-hmm.
01:05:22Honey, I'm okay.
01:05:24Okay, I'm fine.
01:05:25Really, I just...
01:05:26I had a bad night.
01:05:27I'm so sorry.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29I can't believe I slept through it again.
01:05:31I let you down again.
01:05:32No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:34You didn't.
01:05:35And I am not sorry.
01:05:37You can't.
01:05:38I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:39Yeah.
01:05:40Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:41Yeah.
01:05:42I woke up because I thought I heard something, but then I listened and there was nothing there.
01:05:55So I...
01:05:56I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
01:06:00And so I figured I would just go online and I...
01:06:05I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:08So I went downstairs and I saw that the door was open.
01:06:13So I...
01:06:14I...
01:06:15I called 911.
01:06:16And then I...
01:06:17I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:21So you actually saw someone?
01:06:23I...
01:06:24I think so.
01:06:25I...
01:06:26I mean, it was this shadow.
01:06:28At least, Mara.
01:06:29I swear to you, trust me, there was somebody in there with me.
01:06:32I believe you, but...
01:06:34You know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:38No.
01:06:39James was asleep.
01:06:40And...
01:06:41Maggie can't even get around.
01:06:43She...
01:06:44She couldn't have done that.
01:06:45So either I...
01:06:46I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:53Or, you know, I'm, um...
01:06:56I'm losing my mind.
01:06:59No.
01:07:00Mom, you're not.
01:07:01Okay.
01:07:02We're gonna figure this out.
01:07:03Together.
01:07:04I promise you, we will figure this out.
01:07:06Mara, I'm sorry.
01:07:07I'm so sorry.
01:07:08I'm so sorry.
01:07:09Mom, don't be sorry, please.
01:07:11We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:12I promise you.
01:07:13I love you.
01:07:14I love you.
01:07:15Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:16Yeah.
01:07:17It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:18Come on.
01:07:19Let's get out of here.
01:07:20Okay.
01:07:21Come on.
01:07:22Let's get out of here.
01:07:23Okay.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:25Okay.
01:07:26Oh, come on.
01:07:27Come on, a little faster, please.
01:07:28Come on.
01:07:29Come on.
01:07:30Come on.
01:07:31A little faster, please.
01:07:32Come on.
01:07:33Come on.
01:07:34Come on.
01:07:35Let's get out of here.
01:07:36Come on.
01:07:37Come on.
01:07:38Come on.
01:07:39Come on, a little faster, please.
01:08:04I'm going to be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:09Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:12Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right, by me.
01:08:36So what happened?
01:08:37Well, I mean, she had a breakdown. You know, a mental one.
01:08:45Mm-hmm. While you were...
01:08:47I was sleeping. I mean, I was sleeping at first, until she started screaming.
01:08:52She was screaming so loud.
01:08:53I rushed down as fast as I could, but she'd already called the police by that point,
01:08:58and she was totally hysterical. There was nothing I could do.
01:09:00And you? You just... you slept through the whole thing?
01:09:07Oh. Well, same as you, dear. I always sleep like a log.
01:09:12I don't. Ever. But I guess the insulin helps you sleep.
01:09:16Because you take it every day, right?
01:09:19That's right.
01:09:21I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:24Oh. Well, you think I poke myself in the living room between commercial breaks on the TV?
01:09:30No. I do it in my room alone.
01:09:35I went to see her today.
01:09:40I know.
01:09:41How do you know?
01:09:43Well, because I called the recovery house.
01:09:45I spoke to this very nice woman, um...
01:09:48Cheryl is her name.
01:09:49Mm-hmm.
01:09:49Yeah, she seemed very kind.
01:09:51Yeah, she is.
01:09:51I thought today might be too soon to go see her,
01:09:55so I called over there to ask Cheryl when I could spend a couple hours with my wife.
01:09:59She suggested that I come by tomorrow morning.
01:10:02Oh, you're such a sweet boy.
01:10:05A sweet boy who lets his mother run all over his newlywed wife.
01:10:09Mara, I did not do that.
01:10:12Yeah, you did.
01:10:12That's not very nice.
01:10:14And you have the nerve to call it some sort of tragic play?
01:10:18You're the one who's helping her write the damn thing.
01:10:19I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:10:22Hmm. Really?
01:10:24Pushing her a little here.
01:10:26Pushing her a little there.
01:10:28Making her uncomfortable in her own home.
01:10:30Look, Mara, I understand that you're upset.
01:10:33We all are upset.
01:10:35Oh, really?
01:10:36Because you guys don't seem upset at all.
01:10:38Flipping kids these days, I swear.
01:10:42Hey, what happened to having some respect for your elders?
01:10:46You say respect like you have one ounce of it.
01:10:51You know, this is a joke.
01:10:54I'm going to stay with Michael until we figure out what it is that we need to do.
01:10:59Don't you want anything to eat?
01:11:00Lost my flipping appetite.
01:11:01So how do you think this is going?
01:11:08I don't know.
01:11:38I don't know.
01:12:08I don't know.
01:12:38I don't know.
01:13:08Hey Ross, getting back to you on that photo.
01:13:13Names you gave me don't match the ones I found.
01:13:15And it gets worse.
01:13:17Both have been arrested in the past separately for running cons down south.
01:13:20Give me a call back.
01:13:21I'll tell you what I know.
01:13:22This is Denise Lewis.
01:13:29I can't take your call right now.
01:13:31Leave me a message and I'll get back to you just as soon as I can.
01:13:35If it's an emergency, call 911.
01:13:38Denise, here's your emergency.
01:13:40You see, my deep dive guy got back to me.
01:13:43Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:13:48They could be dangerous.
01:13:50So call me when you get this.
01:13:53Two questions.
01:13:55What are you doing in our house?
01:13:56And what exactly do you mean by dangerous?
01:14:00I know what you and your son are doing here, lady.
01:14:03Are you sure about that?
01:14:04Maybe you should ask him.
01:14:06So what is this now?
01:14:19This?
01:14:20This is your plan going from bad to worse.
01:14:22I mean, he said we're not who we say we are, dummy.
01:14:26I mean, who's he talking to?
01:14:29Kristen Shrink.
01:14:31Oh, damn it, Hulk.
01:14:32Is he?
01:14:36Yeah.
01:14:37I had to.
01:14:38I had no choice.
01:14:39Well, what the hell are we going to do now?
01:14:41I don't know, Maggie.
01:14:43This is your plan.
01:14:44I know that.
01:14:46All right.
01:14:47What we need to do is we'll just...
01:14:48Oh, just shut up.
01:14:50Shut up.
01:14:52Okay, we pack our stuff.
01:14:53And we get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:15:02Okay?
01:15:02Agreed.
01:15:03We're just lucky that little bitch isn't around right now.
01:15:06Get home safe, Phillip.
01:15:34I'll see you next week.
01:15:35It's your thing.
01:15:41Denise, here's your emergency.
01:15:43My deep dive guy got back to me.
01:15:45Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:15:48They could be dangerous.
01:15:50Oh, my God.
01:15:56Denise, hi.
01:15:59You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:00Listen, she's got keeping mostly to her south, but peaceful enough considering the last couple
01:16:05of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me.
01:16:07I got a message from my ex.
01:16:09This patient of mine and her daughter, they're in real trouble with these people.
01:16:14What did he say?
01:16:16Well, I don't know the details, but he's a private investigator.
01:16:20He was looking into the husband and the mother, and he said they're not who they say they are.
01:16:24I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:40I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box and
01:17:10Yes, that will be fine.
01:17:15Are they both home?
01:17:16Yeah, I think so.
01:17:18All right, so let's go up there, grab our jewelry box, and get the hell out of here.
01:17:22No, I'll go grab it really quick. You just stay here, and then we'll go together.
01:17:25Okay, well, you should hurry.
01:17:27Oh, really? Because I was going to make a quick sandwich first.
01:17:29This is you hurrying.
01:17:40Go to sleep, kid. Go to sleep.
01:18:10Go to sleep.
01:18:40Where the hell are you? We've got to hit the road.
01:18:56You can walk.
01:19:01It's a miracle.
01:19:03It was you. You and James the entire time. Messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:08First of all, girly, that's not our names.
01:19:13And second, it didn't really take that much effort.
01:19:17Only problem was, we didn't go far enough.
01:19:20But those days are over.
01:19:22What do you mean?
01:19:26Why did you have to come back tonight?
01:19:29Get away from her.
01:19:31It's too late for that.
01:19:33No, it's not.
01:19:35We're going to tie her up, and we're going to get in the car, and you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach in Mexico before anybody knows about this.
01:19:42Who put you in charge?
01:19:43I have made myself clear from the stop, Jackie.
01:19:46I do not want either one of them hurt.
01:19:48And I've made myself clear I'm not going back to prison.
01:19:53Oh, now look what you did.
01:19:55I'll get her.
01:19:56You idiot.
01:19:57I'll get it.
01:20:27Come on.
01:20:30I'm trying to help you.
01:20:36Michael.
01:20:37Michael.
01:20:40Michael.
01:20:42Michael.
01:20:43Michael.
01:20:44Michael, we gotta go.
01:20:46Michael, we gotta go.
01:20:46Michael, we gotta go.
01:20:48Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:51Stand up, girly.
01:20:54Real slow.
01:20:55Now it's a shame.
01:21:01There's something about your spirit I kind of like.
01:21:04Even if you were a pain in my ass at every flip and turn.
01:21:09Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:16No!
01:21:17Stop!
01:21:18You fucking fool!
01:21:19Why didn't you do that?
01:21:21Let's screw this.
01:21:23Oh, family.
01:21:24Come on.
01:21:30Mom!
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:33Oh, God, I heard you're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:35Are you okay?
01:21:36I'm okay.
01:21:37What the hell happened here?
01:21:38It was, it was Maggie.
01:21:43It's not her name.
01:21:45It's Jackie.
01:21:46Well, where's Jackie now?
01:21:48She left the house.
01:21:53Oh, come here, come here, come here, come here.
01:21:55I'm so glad you two are here.
01:22:03We are, too.
01:22:04Believe me.
01:22:06Yeah, we kind of need to get out of the house these days anyways.
01:22:08Mm-hmm.
01:22:10Mara's putting her plans on hold a little while longer, but this time I'm not complaining.
01:22:15Neither is my boyfriend.
01:22:17He's being a saint about all of this.
01:22:19Oh, I hear that.
01:22:22Didn't you say I'm so sorry about your ex's passing?
01:22:24You mean his murder.
01:22:26Oh, imagine how sorry you'd feel if you were the reason that he's dead.
01:22:31Come on, don't say that.
01:22:33I'm not.
01:22:34It's true whether I say it out loud or not.
01:22:36Have the police been able to tell you anything else?
01:22:40Well, um, James' real name is Paul Northcutt.
01:22:46I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?
01:22:53Okay, yes, Mara, he was, but he also saved my life.
01:22:56Mm-hmm.
01:22:58I mean, he couldn't have been all that bad.
01:23:00And, um, Maggie?
01:23:02You mean Jackie Turner?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:04According to Ross's guy, she's been arrested a few times, mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others, but she's a lot more dangerous than her rap she'd hinted at.
01:23:16And we have no idea where she is now.
01:23:19I'm sure she's still out there, just running the same game on another unsuspecting family.
01:23:24Well, she can't hide forever.
01:23:25Mm-hmm.
01:23:29Would you look at this place?
01:23:32It's enormous.
01:23:33You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:38Are you all right?
01:23:39Maybe I am.
01:23:40A little.
01:23:42I need this to go right.
01:23:44Well, don't worry, honey.
01:23:46Mama's here.
01:23:48I'm gonna make sure that man in there is yours.
01:23:52All yours.
01:23:53And soon.
01:23:54Okay.
01:23:55Okay.
01:24:10Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:12I'm Bridget.
01:24:12Yes.
01:24:13Landon's mentioned you.
01:24:14Well, he's mentioned you as well.
01:24:16This is my mother, Christine.
01:24:18Hi.
01:24:19Hello.
01:24:19Well, please, come on in.
01:24:23And I'm gonna go get Landon for you.
01:24:27Make yourselves at home.
01:24:29You don't have to tell us twice.
01:24:31Ah.

01:24:39All right.
01:24:42So we're going to watch all of this.
