00:00:00James, hey, wake up.
00:00:07Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:26I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:53There's somebody in the house.
00:01:06James, James, wake up.
00:01:08James, wake up.
00:01:09Wake up, James.
00:01:10There's somebody down here.
00:01:12Can you hear me, help?
00:01:13Help.
00:01:15Somebody help me, please, please.
00:01:42Morning, husband.
00:01:47Morning, wife.
00:01:50I didn't know you were up.
00:01:52Wife.
00:01:53I didn't think I was the hey, we're in Vegas, let's get hitched kind of girl.
00:01:57Yeah, well, here we are.
00:02:00Damn right.
00:02:06I got you something.
00:02:09You did?
00:02:11It's just a little post-wedding gift, a little small token of my love.
00:02:18Babe, I didn't get you anything.
00:02:21You got me everything.
00:02:27Go ahead, open it.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:39Wow.
00:02:42You said you had a watch like it in your 20s that you lost.
00:02:46Yeah.
00:02:49I can't believe that you remembered that story.
00:02:55Thank you.
00:02:56You're welcome.
00:03:01Wow.
00:03:05So, is Mara cool with this, with us, you know, getting married now?
00:03:12I think so.
00:03:13I mean, we're going to have to do something more formal with her sometime soon, but.
00:03:17Absolutely.
00:03:18My mom is going to move in with us, so, you know, we can all celebrate our love together.
00:03:24I like the sound of that.
00:03:28What time is our flight?
00:03:29It's at noon, so I'll go pick her up.
00:03:32Really, I can't thank you guys enough for letting her stay with us.
00:03:36It means a lot.
00:03:38I just moved in.
00:03:39Now, you got two of us to deal with.
00:03:42We're family.
00:03:44I mean, I guess it's a little bit weird, but you and I tied the knot.
00:03:47I haven't even met your mom, but.
00:03:50Yeah.
00:03:51She's just, Maggie's been too sick to travel lately.
00:03:55I'm telling you, Kristen, diabetes can be a real bitch.
00:04:01And I should warn you, you can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:06No, I'm sure I can handle her.
00:04:10And I know I can handle you.
00:04:17Hmm.
00:04:25Your form is so good.
00:04:32Look, I don't, I don't mean to ruin your workout, I just want to check in on you.
00:04:35Oh, no, it's no worries.
00:04:36I was just about done.
00:04:39I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:41Where is he?
00:04:42He's picking his mother up at the airport, remember?
00:04:44Oh, yeah.
00:04:45That's today.
00:04:47You two have been a couple for like, what, six months now?
00:04:50I cannot believe you haven't even met his mom.
00:04:53Wow.
00:04:55I think that this way, isn't it awesome we get to meet her together?
00:04:59Yeah, sure.
00:05:00Why not?
00:05:01Honey, look, I know I've asked you this a bunch of times, but you're, you're not upset, right?
00:05:08I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:10No.
00:05:11No, I just.
00:05:13I think that maybe it feels a little soon.
00:05:19I usually reserve that term for bad jokes about tragedy, but yeah, maybe a little.
00:05:26But you like him, though, right?
00:05:29James?
00:05:30Oh, yeah.
00:05:31I really do.
00:05:32I see the way that he treats you.
00:05:34It's very sweet, and I think that you deserve it.
00:05:38But, like you said, it just, it 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 am so much better than a year ago.
00:06:02You know, you and James are a big part of why.
00:06:09Heck, you know, for my loving daughter and my new husband.
00:06:13My strength, I'm pretty much as good as new.
00:06:16I know how terrible it all was, but honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:21How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:26I have no idea, but if there's one, that's one too many.
00:06:32Oh.
00:06:48Mom, 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. Welcome to our home.
00:07:05Yeah, our casa is your casa.
00:07:10Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:14Where's my room?
00:07:15Mom, come on. Be nice.
00:07:18Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23You're welcome. We're happy to have you.
00:07:27Yeah, we are happy to have you, Mom. Let's sit down.
00:07:30Isn't that nice?
00:07:37I'll try not to be too much trouble.
00:07:40Oh, I'm sure I'll be no trouble at all.
00:07:43Say cheese.
00:07:45What are you doing?
00:07:47Just taking your picture.
00:07:49Why?
00:07:50Posterity.
00:07:51I hate having my photo taken. Put that thing away now.
00:07:55It's okay, Mom. It's okay. Why don't I go get some refreshments? Hey, Mara, would you help me?
00:08:00Oh, yeah, sure.
00:08:01Great. Let's leave these two to get a little better acquainted.
00:08:04All right.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:10So, it's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:17Well, you got a good-sized house here, Kristen.
00:08:20Oh, thanks.
00:08:22A bit tacky for my taste, but that's neither here nor there.
00:08:27Good for you, living high on that hog.
00:08:30You get the money from your first husband or something?
00:08:36No, actually, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:43For the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:46Is that right?
00:08:48What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:52I'm a divorce attorney.
00:08:54Ah, got it.
00:08:56So, while all those miserable, desperate people are suffering right there in front of you, you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:06I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:09Oh, no, of course not. I'm just kidding.
00:09:13So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:17Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was the only one who suggested that we do it on the spot.
00:09:25Was the wedding nice, or what?
00:09:28Because this mother of the groom never saw a damn photo.
00:09:33Here you go.
00:09:35Now we're family. All of us.
00:09:40Isn't that wonderful?
00:09:42Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:09:45See? Look at you two. I knew it. A couple peas in a pod.
00:09:53Mom, is everything okay?
00:09:55Yeah, yeah. I'm, uh, I'm great.
00:09:57This is gonna be so much fun.
00:10:07Uh, you wanted to see me? What's up?
00:10:09Come here.
00:10:11I just...
00:10:13What? What's going on?
00:10:16Kristen, just say it.
00:10:19Did 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? She said that?
00:10:30I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much, and I have no idea what I did wrong.
00:10:34Okay, I don't... What happened? I mean, was it something in her tone, maybe?
00:10:38More like something in her words.
00:10:40Uh, Chris, I don't know. She's just from a different era.
00:10:43And yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:47Trust me, she has a big heart. And it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you.
00:10:55See what you're made of.
00:10:57Great. I got an F on the first day.
00:10:59Look at me. Relax, okay?
00:11:03I 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. All of us.
00:11:13So let's just, you know, let Maggie get used to her new surroundings.
00:11:17And I promise, this is all gonna work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:26Thank you.
00:11:40What are you doing here?
00:11:42Well, maybe I just wanted to see that pretty face of yours.
00:11:44What do you want, Ross?
00:11:48Your 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. And you know I hate the word shrink.
00:12:01You 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.
00:12:12Sorry, did I make a mistake? Is this not my hour?
00:12:14No, no. I'm sorry. Kristen, of course it is.
00:12:17I'll call you later.
00:12:19I know you will.
00:12:22Please, come in.
00:12:24Thanks.
00:12:28Apologies again, Kristen. That's my soon-to-be ex, and he...
00:12:32Oh, never mind.
00:12:34I'm sure you hear about this divorce stuff all day long.
00:12:36That 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? You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:51Maggie?
00:12:53James' mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:55Okay, so you have someone new living in your house.
00:12:59She has diabetes, and she has to use a walker to get around.
00:13:03That poor woman, that's awful.
00:13:05What's she like?
00:13:07She doesn't like me, I can tell you that much.
00:13:09How do you know?
00:13:11I don't know, just the way that she looks at me, you know?
00:13:14Just cold, dismissive.
00:13:17The 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.
00:13:26Sounded more to me like she was upset she didn't get to stop it.
00:13:30Well, mothers-in-laws and 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.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business without looking in every direction for some guy creeping up behind me.
00:13:57I don't know, I can just breathe, I guess.
00:14:02You know, it's... little things.
00:14:06Not so little, newsflash.
00:14:09I mean, your stalker actually made it into your house.
00:14:12That's terrifying.
00:14:16I know, I know, I just, um...
00:14:19I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:25Lots of people out there would have experienced some kind of breakdown from that.
00:14:30If you ask me, you're doing great.
00:14:35Thanks, Dr. Lewis.
00:14:38Thanks to you, you know.
00:14:40And, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:51I actually got up and spit it out.
00:14:53Okay.
00:14:54Gotta be careful, they might be watching.
00:14:58Hey, girly.
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? And who is this Michael person?
00:15:07He's my boo.
00:15:08Your boo? Is he a damn ghost or something?
00:15:12Mom, she's talking about her boyfriend.
00:15:15And I happen to like the kid.
00:15:19That must be him.
00:15:21Michael, you can come in. We'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.
00:15:35How's it hanging, kid? I'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. Like little rabbits at your age.
00:15:50Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:15:52Oh my God.
00:15:54Where is Kristen anyway?
00:15:56She is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:16:01You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off.
00:16:08Therapy.
00:16:09It's like a weak sauce on a feeble sandwich.
00:16:13It's a little harsh.
00:16:15I don't think it's weird for her to get help after everything she's been through.
00:16:18Oh?
00:16:20And what happened?
00:16:23Do you know what? I'm starving. Should we go?
00:16:26Let's do this.
00:16:27Hey, Michael. Come here. I got something to tell you.
00:16:36Yeah, what's up?
00:16:38Well, you gotta lean in if I'm gonna tell you.
00:16:42Boo!
00:16:46You're a strange one, Maggie.
00:16:48Yeah, always have been. Always will be.
00:16:51Hey, come on, Michael. Let's go.
00:16:56You two have fun.
00:17:00Bring me back some cheesecake.
00:17:05So, Maggie. She's a real kick in the ass, huh?
00:17:09Yeah, she is.
00:17:11She's gonna need to stop kicking at my mom, but we're gonna have a prom.
00:17:15How's your mom been holding up with the new houseguests, anyways?
00:17:18She's struggling. And 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, making her crazy.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:46Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:47I just barely avoided getting attacked in the parking lot.
00:17:49Oh, my God. Are you serious?
00:17:51Steve, do me a favor. You call building management.
00:17:53They really need to get on their game about the security around here.
00:17:55I mean, that is unacceptable.
00:17:56Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:17:58Yeah, well, I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:03You mean, towards the door?
00:18:05Yeah.
00:18:06Okay.
00:18:07Okay.
00:18:08Okay.
00:18:09Okay.
00:18:10Okay.
00:18:11Okay.
00:18:12Okay.
00:18:13They were following me.
00:18:14You mean, towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:18Well... yeah.
00:18:22Well, how close did the guy get to you? Was he, like, a car length?
00:18:25No, no, not that close. I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:31But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:36Yeah, yeah.
00:18:38They're making valid points.
00:18:40Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:59This is Kristen.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:06Hello?
00:19:10Um...
00:19:24This is Kristen.
00:19:29Hello?
00:19:32Who is this?
00:19:41Stop calling me!
00:19:43Wow, well, hello to you too.
00:19:46Hi, James.
00:19:48Is, uh, is everything okay?
00:19:50Yeah, yeah, I just, I kept getting this unknown number and then when I answered, no one was there and...
00:19:57You know what, uh, never mind. Everything's fine.
00:20:01Good. Well, uh, Mara is out to dinner with Michael.
00:20:05I am done returning my client calls for the day and it's just Mom and I here.
00:20:10We were wondering when you'd be coming home.
00:20:13I think she misses you already.
00:20:15Um, uh, soon.
00:20:17Good. See you soon. Bye.
00:20:20Okay, bye.
00:20:21Bye.
00:20:39You can't be serious.
00:20:41It's not gonna be for long, okay? Just a few months, Max.
00:20:44A few months? Mara, I'm talking to two realtors who are looking for apartments for us right now in L.A.
00:20:49Well, Michael, I don't know what you want me to say, okay? I can't just leave her alone right now.
00:20:54She's a grown woman who can...
00:20:56Got the daylight scared out of her by some maniac at her spin class?
00:21:00Yeah, like a year ago.
00:21:04Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea, okay? She was getting constant phone calls every single day.
00:21:13Every single day.
00:21:15This psychopath was leaving these very disturbing messages talking about how they were soulmates,
00:21:20and how they were meant to be together, and she should just give in to fate.
00:21:23Oh.
00:21:24Calling her all the time, following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:28He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was gonna be.
00:21:31I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:34Jesus, you never talked about it much. I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:40Frightening?
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?
00:21:54When 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.
00:22:15That's why I've been sleeping at home again.
00:22:19Yeah, don't remind me.
00:22:22Look, it's just gonna be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:27So, whatever happened to that spin class stalker anyways?
00:22:32The 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.
00:22:51Well, it's a good thing she has a daughter like you then.
00:22:54James was a really big help too.
00:22:57Huh, yeah, I like James.
00:23:00Me too. I don't know, there was 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.
00:23:16Hey, Maggie.
00:23:18Kristen.
00:23:22You demolish any marriages today?
00:23:27Yeah, 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?
00:23:50What did you say the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:55And how many people usually play it at one time?
00:23:59Just one.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08I'm not really sure. 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 going to answer it?
00:24:37Hello?
00:24:43Hello?
00:24:48Hello?
00:24:51No one there?
00:24:53No, there's not.
00:24:54What?
00:25:00No, no, you don't. No!
00:25:03Where are you rushing off to?
00:25:07I saw you!
00:25:17Hey, Mom, what's wrong? You hardly even touched your food.
00:25:21Oh, yeah, don't mind me. I'm just a little stressed out for some reason tonight.
00:25:26There's nothing wrong with that?
00:25:28No. No, of course not.
00:25:31Are you getting any more of those calls that we were talking about today?
00:25:37Are you?
00:25:41You know I did.
00:25:43What calls are they talking about?
00:25:45I get unknown callers all the time. I mean, it could be anybody.
00:25:48For all we know, it could be just a super dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:52Yeah, I mean, it could be.
00:25:54Except, 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.
00:26:02Well, if it's nothing, why did your lovely new bride race out into the backyard afterwards like her pants were on flippin' fire?
00:26:10Mom, you did?
00:26:13You did that, babe? Why?
00:26:15I thought I saw somebody out there.
00:26:19And?
00:26:21And I was wrong.
00:26:24It's okay. It's really okay, Mom.
00:26:27Does all this have something to do with your breakdown last year?
00:26:34James told me that you came close to losing your marbles.
00:26:39I did not. I did not say that.
00:26:42I did not. I did not say that. Mom, would you please be—
00:26:46Interested in my daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:49I thought that's the reason why I came, was for all of us to get to know each other.
00:26:54Well, you could be a little nicer.
00:26:56And I could be from Kalamazoo, but I'm not.
00:26:59I 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.
00:27:13Look.
00:27:15I'm sorry.
00:27:18I didn't come here to be anyone's thorn.
00:27:21So if you want me to leave, I will.
00:27:28No. No, Maggie, I—
00:27:31I wouldn't have that.
00:27:34We're a family now, right?
00:27:39Do I have the greatest wife or what?
00:27:43No.
00:27:46You know, will you guys excuse me?
00:27:48Mom—
00:27:49No, Mara, I'm fine. I just need to get some fresh air.
00:27:52Do you want me to go—
00:27:53No, no. You guys just relax.
00:27:57I don't really blame her.
00:28:01It's a nice night out there.
00:28:13Hey.
00:28:14Hey.
00:28:17Maggie, she's, uh—
00:28:20She's sick, Mara. We should be pitying her, not judging her.
00:28:24Well, we're not the one licking down our noses.
00:28:29Look, Mom, I know that I keep asking you this, but are you okay?
00:28:34Yeah. Don't worry about me.
00:28:37That's not an answer.
00:28:38Okay, well, you know, for you, it is.
00:28:41Look, I know I'm the reason that you put off your move with Michael.
00:28:44Mom—
00:28:45No, Mara, I don't want you putting your life on hold for me.
00:28:48Well, you know, I don't want you back in that place.
00:28:55What do you say we go inside and show them some yoga moves, huh?
00:28:59Maybe they'll—
00:29:00I don't know.
00:29:01Still feel safe to chill out?
00:29:02No.
00:29:03No.
00:29:04No?
00:29:05No.
00:29:06No?
00:29:07No.
00:29:09But I can show you how to do that.
00:29:11Good. Show me some cool words, too.
00:29:26Oh, hey.
00:29:28Listen, 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.
00:29:52And it seems like you have something to say.
00:29:56Is it about your mother?
00:30:00Maggie, my mom has done nothing but show kindness to you, including giving you a room at Ford.
00:30:07And, you know, I see her trying to make it work.
00:30:12She's not tough like you.
00:30:14And you see that, so I'm just—
00:30:16Honestly, I'm really not sure why you have to make it so hard on her.
00:30:20Well, you call it hard.
00:30:22I call it helpful.
00:30:26The worst thing you can do is indulge someone's fantasies when they're not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:34You think she's enjoying this?
00:30:36Well, there you go, using the dirty definition.
00:30:39But when you actually break the word down, what it really means is that someone is seeing something that's not there due to a psychological need.
00:30:49So what are you saying?
00:30:51Well, I'm saying that's a good thing she's seeing a head doctor.
00:30:54Just saying.
00:30:57Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:31:00I'm sorry, okay?
00:31:02I know how I can come off sometimes.
00:31:06But maybe if you just tried to see the situation through my eyes, the way you're being protective of your mother is kind of how I feel about my son.
00:31:20And I might not be around very much longer.
00:31:24In fact, it could be sooner than later.
00:31:26So I...
00:31:28I guess I'm...
00:31:30I'm just trying to make sure that she can do what needs to be done before I'm gone.
00:31:37I get it.
00:31:39I do, it's just...
00:31:41It's a lot.
00:31:43Yeah, so is a mother's love.
00:31:45Well, it's time for me to get to bed.
00:31:50You have a nice night now, okay?
00:31:54Night.
00:32:14Night.
00:32:44It's okay.
00:32:54It's me, it's me.
00:32:56You had a bad dream.
00:33:00You had a bad dream.
00:33:02Come here, come here.
00:33:06I'm so sorry.
00:33:09I'm so sorry.
00:33:14I'm so sorry.
00:33:39Morning, boss.
00:33:40Morning.
00:33:41There you go.
00:33:43You look exhausted.
00:33:44Thanks, Steve.
00:33:45That was the look I was going for.
00:33:48Did Rebecca Palmer confirm for this morning?
00:33:52She should be here in a few minutes.
00:33:53Great, just enough time to get caffeinated.
00:33:55Let me know when she arrives, will you?
00:33:57Sure thing.
00:33:58Oh, hey.
00:33:59I just spoke with the building manager.
00:34:01Oh, what'd he 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, so...
00:34:14Let's just put it behind us.
00:34:16Sounds good to me.
00:34:35Hey, Steve.
00:34:36Yeah?
00:34:38Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:40Um, not that I'd know of.
00:34:42Why?
00:35:01Yes?
00:35:02Rebecca Palmer's here.
00:35:04Ah, thanks.
00:35:08You okay?
00:35:09Yeah, yeah.
00:35:10Can you show her in, please?
00:35:12All right.
00:35:14It's great to see you.
00:35:15Mm-hmm.
00:35:16How are you today?
00:35:17I am getting a big fat divorce.
00:35:19How good can I really be?
00:35:21All right, well, let me see if I can make that a little easier for you.
00:35:25Well, let me start with...
00:35:30Sorry, I should have this on silent.
00:35:32Yes, you should.
00:35:35It's been a bit hectic.
00:35:36My mother-in-law's been staying with us.
00:35:39Looks like someone really wants to talk to you.
00:35:44Apparently.
00:35:49Uh, okay, so, um...
00:35:51Were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:53Yes, I did.
00:35:55I emailed that to you three days ago.
00:35:58Right, yes, of course you did.
00:36:03Maybe this is a bad time.
00:36:05Maybe this is a bad time.
00:36:07No, no, no, no, no, I'm...
00:36:12Oh, my God.
00:36:15What? What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm sorry, Rebecca, will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:36By the time I came back into my office, the client was already gone.
00:36:40Oh, God, what am I saying? She's probably an ex-client by now.
00:36:43I'm sorry that that happened, Kristen, but...
00:36:46This second stalker, don't you think that's unlikely?
00:36:51Based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice.
00:36:54Well, lucky me, you know, two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women.
00:36:59Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:37:01Now, start from the beginning.
00:37:03Now, you received some calls from an unknown number, and no one was talking back to you.
00:37:08Right, and then there was somebody who was following me in the parking lot at work.
00:37:13And then outside of my house.
00:37:16And now you 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.
00:37:24Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:27Oh, damn it.
00:37:29What?
00:37:30Oh, God, I was just freaked out when I saw the message. I deleted it.
00:37:33That's okay.
00:37:34Oh, God, I feel like I'm losing it again.
00:37:36Easy, easy.
00:37:38Now, last time we sat down, you said you were under extra pressure at home from your mother-in-law moving in.
00:37:45Maggie.
00:37:46I take it, well, that's not going well.
00:37:49I 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.
00:38:07Do you think I'm going crazy again?
00:38:09A, you didn't last time, and I don't like that word.
00:38:12And B, no.
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.
00:38:22Not great?
00:38:23So you're tired.
00:38:24Your brain is playing little tricks on you, and those phone calls, those could be legitimate wrong numbers.
00:38:31And the texts that I can't show you.
00:38:34And the roles.
00:38:35That could be James trying to surprise you.
00:38:37Or, you know what, you could have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach out.
00:38:41But nothing wrong with being extra cautious.
00:38:44These things keep happening.
00:38:46You call me, or call the police.
00:38:50Dr. Les, you...
00:38:53You think I could have a stalker again?
00:39:21Wow, look at you out here.
00:39:25What's next, you going to clean out the gutters?
00:39:27Put a fresh coat of paint on the house?
00:39:29Yeah, I mean, that's me, Mr. Suburbia.
00:39:33Actually, I'm glad that you're here.
00:39:35I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:37I'm concerned about your mother.
00:39:41Yeah, me too.
00:39:43That's, I can't.
00:39:45About your mother.
00:39:47Yeah, me too.
00:39:49That's actually why I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:51Oh, good.
00:39:52I mean, to me it seems like she's kind of losing it a little, you know, mentally.
00:39:58Yeah, I see it too.
00:40:01Is this how she acted the last time with her breakdown?
00:40:06Yeah, I guess.
00:40:09To be honest, I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time, you know?
00:40:14Because I wasn't expecting it, but I am now.
00:40:17What about this stalker? I mean, do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy?
00:40:23I think that she believes it.
00:40:26And, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot mentally.
00:40:31You have to talk to Maggie, James. She'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.
00:40:42So she declares,
00:40:44Look, if you can't control Maggie, I'm gonna have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house.
00:40:51I know. I 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.
00:41:04I'm glad we're on the same page with that.
00:41:06100%.
00:41:07Oh, man. Oh, man.
00:41:09We love you, James.
00:41:11I don't know if I ever really thanked you for making my mom so happy.
00:41:17Okay. Well, uh, I'll let you get back to it.
00:41:23Oh, you missed a spot.
00:41:28Good eye.
00:41:29Thanks.
00:41:35Do we have a problem?
00:41:43It's time we go for a ride.
00:41:46I had a feeling.
00:42:00So you and the girls seem chummier than ever.
00:42:03And when I see you with the mother, I swear I can feel the love.
00:42:07So what's wrong with that?
00:42:09Look, we gotta stay focused.
00:42:11That's what I'm telling you.
00:42:16This place is empty.
00:42:18Yeah.
00:42:19He's supposed to be meeting us here.
00:42:22Hey.
00:42:23Back here.
00:42:24Hey.
00:42:25Back here.
00:42:29Sorry, I had to start drinking.
00:42:31You know, trailing soccer moms all day.
00:42:33It's thirsty business.
00:42:35We didn't come here to drink with you, Maps.
00:42:40What are you still doing with that stupid walker?
00:42:43Because, you idiot.
00:42:48I can't risk anyone seeing me sanding on my pins now, can I?
00:42:55Yeah, yeah.
00:42:57You told me that before. I still don't understand why you use that stupid thing.
00:43:00Because it makes me a sympathetic character.
00:43:03Even 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,
00:43:17somebody, me, puts a target on their heels as much as possible.
00:43:24While someone else, him...
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:28I hold their hand, look them in the eye,
00:43:31and I say,
00:43:34everything's gonna be alright, baby.
00:43:38Gets them spinning real good.
00:43:41Well, and then someone else comes along, me,
00:43:44and pushes them over the edge.
00:43:48Looks like someone's really enjoying themselves.
00:43:51That's funny, because I was about to say the same thing about you.
00:43:54Yeah, guilty as charged.
00:43:57Okay, okay. So I get it.
00:43:59Good con, bad con.
00:44:02I get that whole thing.
00:44:03Why this lady?
00:44:05I came across this blog she wrote
00:44:08about her nervous breakdown last year.
00:44:11Some lovestruck fool breaks into her house and drives her crazy.
00:44:17So, I hired this guy to help me double down on it.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:23Once we have it committed,
00:44:25I'll be in complete control of her finances.
00:44:28Won't take long, we'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean.
00:44:33And what about the lady's daughter?
00:44:35That's why we're here.
00:44:38The little brat is getting real protective.
00:44:41She'll get rid of us soon,
00:44:44if we don't get this done.
00:44:46And chances are she'll be successful.
00:44:49So, we gotta do this thing tonight.
00:44:54Right, son?
00:44:56Right, mom.
00:45:06Mom, yoga's supposed to relax you,
00:45:09not stress you out more.
00:45:12Honey, you and Michael are supposed to be leaving for L.A. 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, because, you know, there's been a whole lot of changes around here lately.
00:45:25Sweetheart, I'm gonna be fine.
00:45:27I mean, I know Maggie can be tough, but I've got James to help me handle her.
00:45:31He 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.
00:45:56Looks a little light.
00:45:58I told you the deal when I hired you.
00:46:00You get the rest when we all get ours.
00:46:09Fine.
00:46:10I don't want to be there tonight.
00:46:12When it all goes down.
00:46:13Because otherwise this whole thing is felt like a tease.
00:46:15Nah.
00:46:17That's a bad idea.
00:46:19See, first, you don't know the layout of the house.
00:46:22And second, you are a little too stimulated by this whole thing.
00:46:26And I haven't been pushing that flippin' Walker for my health, either.
00:46:31I need to push this snowflake over.
00:46:35I 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.
00:46:56Okay.
00:46:59Then I'm going to need some more money.
00:47:01Up front. Not this when and if.
00:47:04The thing.
00:47:06I'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?
00:47:28Because you don't want to go back to prison, I know that.
00:47:30And you do not want me telling people what I know.
00:47:39Okay, Max. You win.
00:47:43Finish your drink.
00:47:45And we'll go get you your money.
00:47:51Dynamite.
00:47:55Dynamite.
00:48:01So, you two. You two ain't angry at me, right?
00:48:04Of course not, Max.
00:48:06Good, because you'd do the same, you and me, right?
00:48:09Of course I would.
00:48:10Good. Because we're all just terrible people, right?
00:48:13Well, we have to be.
00:49:00Let's go.
00:49:31Mmm.
00:49:42Hey, you lovebirds.
00:49:46I'm turning in.
00:49:48Okay, Mom.
00:49:49Uh, goodnight.
00:49:51Yeah, sleep tight.
00:49:54Hey, honey.
00:49:56Thank you for everything.
00:49:59I mean it.
00:50:01Oh, thank you, Maggie. That means a lot to me.
00:50:16I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted.
00:50:18Yeah, me too.
00:50:20Yeah, well, see you in the morning, okay?
00:50:24I'll be out before my head hits the pillow.
00:50:27Night, Maggie.
00:50:57Fuck.
00:51:27Fuck.
00:51:57Fuck.
00:52:27Fuck.
00:52:43Your mom's all solid.
00:52:48I can't believe your mom was actually nice to me tonight.
00:52:52I told you.
00:52:54She really likes you.
00:52:56Huh.
00:52:58Yeah, you know, I'm going to make more of an effort with her.
00:53:01That's incredible, considering that she hasn't even met you halfway.
00:53:06Mom, I swear I'm going to make her love me even if it kills me.
00:53:17Goodnight, baby.
00:53:21Sweet dreams.
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:37Yeah.
00:53:39Sweet dreams.
00:53:56Sweet dreams.
00:54:26Sweet dreams.
00:54:56Sweet dreams.
00:55:15James.
00:55:19James, hey, wake up.
00:55:23Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:26Hey.
00:55:52Fuck.
00:56:23Fuck.
00:56:45Oh, my God, please.
00:56:47Please hurry, answer, please.
00:56:49911, what's your emergency?
00:56:5118 Northfield Avenue.
00:56:52I think somebody broke into my house.
00:56:54Ma'am, are you alone?
00:56:55No, 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.
00:57:03Oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:57:09James, James, wake up.
00:57:11James, please, James, somebody help me.
00:57:16Somebody help me, please.
00:57:19Please help me.
00:57:21Is there somebody out here?
00:57:23Help, help.
00:57:25Somebody help me.
00:57:27Help, help me.
00:57:29Please, please.
00:57:31Kristen, Kristen.
00:57:33There's somebody in the house.
00:57:35It's me, it's me.
00:57:37It's me.
00:57:39No, no, no.
00:57:41There's nobody in the house.
00:57:42There's nobody, it's just me, it's just me.
00:57:43Look at me, look at me, look at me.
00:57:45It's just me, it's just me.
00:57:47It's okay, it's okay.
00:57:49What is in the house?
00:57:51Shh.
00:57:53No, no, no.
00:58:08Hi, Denise, I was going to call you.
00:58:10How's Kristen Walker doing?
00:58:12I'm looking at her right now.
00:58:14She's actually very calm, I really like her.
00:58:17Yeah, me too.
00:58:19And thanks for squeezing her in.
00:58:21I'd hate for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital, even for a few days.
00:58:25It was a close call.
00:58:27I know.
00:58:28She needs a lot of help, Denise.
00:58:30I know.
00:58:31Well, she's going to be evaluated again next week by the state,
00:58:34but I'm feeling pretty confident we should get her home by the end of the month.
00:58:37From your mouth to God's ears.
00:58:39Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks him through these things.
00:58:42I just give him a place to stay.
00:58:44And bless you for that.
00:58:48Oh, Cheryl, I got to go.
00:58:50I'll check with you later.
00:58:53Hi.
00:58:55Damn it!
00:58:56Will you calm down?
00:58:58Calm down?
00:58:59Where did this halfway house for crazies come from?
00:59:02They were supposed to commit her.
00:59:04Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:07Oh, damn it.
00:59:08All right, I say we find a way to take her out while she's there.
00:59:11You're the husband. You should get the money.
00:59:14We are cooks. We're not murderers.
00:59:17And sometimes we do both.
00:59:19Or did I just dream about what happened at that bar, Mr. Stabby?
00:59:23That was necessary. This is not.
00:59:26I'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...
00:59:38All I know is that my mom was doing a lot better before Maggie got here.
00:59:42The timing of all this 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 it to me, will you?
00:59:53Yeah.
01:00:03You know, you got me confused again.
01:00:05One more time.
01:00:07Did you come into this woman's life to love her or to rob her?
01:00:13Don't worry about me. I'm a pro, okay?
01:00:16But we do not need to hurt these people.
01:00:19Let's say that I agree with you.
01:00:21There are too many other people in that support house.
01:00:23We don't even know the floor plan.
01:00:25All right, fine.
01:00:27But if I see you siding with them instead of us, all bets are off.
01:00:33All right, big shot.
01:00:35So what in the hell do we do now?
01:00:37We wait till she comes back here, and we turn up the gas.
01:00:41Damn it!
01:00:42You gotta be kidding me.
01:00:44And what do we do with Mara in the meantime?
01:00:46I don't know.
01:00:48Maybe it's time that we tried Max's killer.
01:00:51I don't know.
01:00:53I don't know.
01:00:55Maybe it's time that we tried Max's killing with kindness routine.
01:01:00Fine. As long as she's not onto us.
01:01:03Question is, what are you prepared to do if she is?
01:01:11Yes?
01:01:13It's me.
01:01:14Come in.
01:01:15You see what I did?
01:01:17I called first, so I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
01:01:21I'll keep that in mind.
01:01:23But, um, what if I need you for some of your old tricks?
01:01:28Well, a real dog doesn't forget the old stuff. What do you got?
01:01:31If I text you some pictures, you think you can find out what you can about a couple of people?
01:01:36I mean, I'll owe you one.
01:01:38And considering what you owe me...
01:01:41Well, I don't mind you owing me one.
01:01:43Those were some of my favorite nights, Denise.
01:01:46Don't start.
01:01:48Alright, text me the pics. I'll get right on it.
01:02:06It may be dangerous or even life-threatening. Family history may increase likelihood.
01:02:11In some cases, a combination of medications can work better.
01:02:14Anyone with this disease will need lifelong insulin therapy.
01:03:42You need something?
01:03:44No. No, sorry.
01:03:47Um, my toilet's clogged, so I just figured I would use the one in here.
01:03:51Do you mind?
01:03:52Mind? It's your house, girly.
01:03:55You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:57Tinkle. That's funny.
01:04:00I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:12You sure you don't want me to come? I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:17It's a cakewalk compared to what she's going through.
01:04:20Thank you for driving me. I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:24Anybody would be. James didn't want to come?
01:04:28I didn't tell him I was coming.
01:04:31I just... I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:35I know that you like James.
01:04:37Hey, Mar, I barely know the guy.
01:04:40And quite honestly, nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:44Yeah. Speaking of mothers.
01:04:47Good luck in there.
01:04:57You must be Mara.
01:04:58Cheryl.
01:04:59Come on in.
01:05:00How's she doing?
01:05:01She's a little out of it because of the medication, but better overall than you're probably thinking.
01:05:05Okay. Has she talked about what happened?
01:05:07No, 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, you have a visitor.
01:05:15Hi, sweetheart.
01:05:16Hi, Mom.
01:05:17I'll let you two catch up. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me for anything.
01:05:20Thanks, Cheryl.
01:05:23Honey, I'm okay. Okay? I'm fine, really. I just... I had a bad night.
01:05:28I'm so sorry.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30I can't believe I slept through it again. I let you down again.
01:05:33No. No, you didn't.
01:05:36And I am not sorry. Okay? I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:41Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:49I woke up because I thought I heard something, but then I listened and there was nothing there.
01:05:56So I... I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
01:06:01And so I figured I would just, like, go online.
01:06:04And I... I 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 called 911 and then I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:21So you actually saw someone?
01:06:23I... I think so. I... I mean, it was this shadow.
01:06:28At least, Mara, I swear to you, trust me, there was somebody in there with me.
01:06:32I believe you, but, you know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:38No. James was asleep. And Maggie can't even get around. She couldn't have done that.
01:06:45So either I... I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:53Or, you know, I'm... I'm losing my mind.
01:06:59No. Mom, you're not. Okay? We're gonna figure this out. Together. I promise you. We will figure this out.
01:07:06Mara, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
01:07:10Mom, don't be sorry. Please. We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:14Promise. I love you.
01:07:23Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:25Yeah. It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:29Come on. Let's get out of here.
01:07:31Okay.
01:07:53Come on. A little faster, please.
01:08:01I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:08Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:10Yeah. All right by me.
01:08:23Okay.
01:08:37So what happened?
01:08:39Well, I mean, she had a breakdown. You know, a mental one.
01:08:46While you were...
01:08:48I was sleeping. I mean, I was sleeping at first until she started screaming.
01:08:52And she was screaming so loud. I 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.
01:09:02And 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.
01:09:17Because 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?
01:09:31No. I do it in my room alone.
01:09:38I went to see her today.
01:09:40I know.
01:09:42How do you know?
01:09:43Well, because I called the recovery house.
01:09:45I spoke to this very nice woman. Cheryl was her name.
01:09:49Yeah. She seemed very kind.
01:09:51Yeah, she is.
01:09:52I thought today might be too soon to go see her, so 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.
01:10:13That's not very nice.
01:10:15And 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.
01:10:20I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:10:23Really? Pushing her a little here, pushing her a little there?
01:10:28Making her uncomfortable in her own home?
01:10:30Look, Mara, I understand that you're upset. We all are upset.
01:10:35Oh, really? Because 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.
01:10:50You know, this is a joke.
01:10:53I'm going to stay with Michael until we figure out what it is that we need to do.
01:10:58Don't you want anything to eat?
01:11:00Lost my flippin' appetite.
01:11:02So how do you think this is going?
01:11:32I don't know.
01:12:02I don't know.
01:12:32I don't know.
01:13:03Hey, Ross. Getting back to you on that photo.
01:13:06Names you gave me don't match the ones I found.
01:13:08And it gets worse.
01:13:09Both have been arrested in the past, separately, for running cons down south.
01:13:13Give me a call back. I'll tell you what I know.
01:13:21This is Denise Lewis. I can't take your call right now.
01:13:24Dammit.
01:13:25I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
01:13:28This is Denise Lewis. I can't take your call right now.
01:13:31Dammit.
01:13:32Leave me a message and I'll get back to you just as soon as I can.
01:13:35If it's an emergency, call 9-1-1.
01:13:38Denise, here's your emergency.
01:13:41My 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?
01:13:57And 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.
01:14:18So what is this now?
01:14:19This? This 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.
01:14:30Oh, dammit, Hulk.
01:14:35Is he?
01:14:36Yeah. I had to. I had no choice.
01:14:39Well, what the hell are we going to do now?
01:14:41I don't know, Maggie. This is your plan.
01:14:44I know that.
01:14:46All right. What we need to do is we'll get-
01:14:48Oh, just shut up. Shut up!
01:14:52Okay, we pack our stuff.
01:14:54And we get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:15:02Okay?
01:15:03Agreed.
01:15:04We're just lucky that little bitch isn't around right now.
01:15:23Get home safe, Phillip. I'll see you next week.
01:15:25Sure thing.
01:15:31Denise, here's your emergency.
01:15:33My deep dive guy got back to me.
01:15:35Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:15:38They could be dangerous.
01:15:39Oh, my God.
01:15:42I'm sorry.
01:15:43I'm sorry.
01:15:44I'm sorry.
01:15:45I'm sorry.
01:15:46I'm sorry.
01:15:47I'm sorry.
01:15:48I'm sorry.
01:15:49I'm sorry.
01:15:50I'm sorry.
01:15:52I'm sorry.
01:15:58Denise, hi. You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:01She's good, keeping mostly to herself.
01:16:03But peaceful enough, considering the last couple of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me. I 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.
01:16:26Wait, what?
01:16:28Oh, my God.
01:16:38I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:50Oh, my God.
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 out 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.
01:17:47Shh, go to sleep, kid. Go to sleep.
01:18:17Oh, my God.
01:18:48Where the hell are you? We've got to hit the road.
01:18:52You can walk.
01:18:57It's a miracle.
01:18:59It was you.
01:19:00You and James the entire time, messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:04First of all, girly, that's not our names.
01:19:08And second, it didn't really take that much effort.
01:19:12Only problem was, we didn't go far enough.
01:19:15But those days are over.
01:19:19What do you mean?
01:19:21Why did you have to come back tonight?
01:19:24Get away from her.
01:19:26It's too late for that.
01:19:28No, it's not.
01:19:29We're going to tie her up, and we're going to get in the car,
01:19:32and you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach in Mexico
01:19:35before anybody knows about this.
01:19:37Who put you in charge?
01:19:38I have made myself clear from the start, Jackie.
01:19:41I do not want either one of them hurt.
01:19:43And I've made myself clear I'm not going back to prison.
01:19:48Oh, now look what you did.
01:19:50I'll get her.
01:19:51You idiot.
01:20:07Come on.
01:20:24Mara?
01:20:27Mara.
01:20:29Come on.
01:20:31I'm trying to help you.
01:20:37Michael.
01:20:38Michael.
01:20:41Michael.
01:20:43Michael.
01:20:44Michael.
01:20:45Michael, wake up.
01:20:46Wake up.
01:20:47Come on.
01:20:49Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:52Stand up.
01:20:53Girly.
01:20:55Real slow.
01:20:59You know, 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.
01:21:08Mara.
01:21:09Mara, come here.
01:21:12Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:15No.
01:21:17Stop.
01:21:18You stupid fool.
01:21:19Why did you do that?
01:21:21Screw this family.
01:21:30Mom?
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:32What are you doing here?
01:21:33Oh, God, I hope you're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:36Okay.
01:21:37What the hell happened here?
01:21:39It was Maggie.
01:21:43That's not her name.
01:21:45It's Jackie.
01:21:46Where's Jackie now?
01:21:48She left the house.
01:21:53Oh, come here.
01:21:54Oh, come here.
01:22:01I'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.
01:22:10Mara'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.
01:22:20I hear that.
01:22:22Didn't you say I'm so sorry about your ex's passing?
01:22:25You mean his murder.
01:22:27Imagine how sorry you'd feel if you were the reason that he's dead.
01:22:31Come on, don't say that.
01:22:33Why not?
01:22:34It's true whether I say it out loud or not.
01:22:37Have the police been able to tell you anything else?
01:22:40Well, James' real name is Paul Northcutt.
01:22:43I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom.
01:22:49Okay, yes, Mara, he was, but he also saved my life.
01:22:53Mm-hmm.
01:22:55I mean, it couldn't have been all that bad.
01:22:57And Maggie?
01:22:59You mean Jackie Turner?
01:23:01Yes.
01:23:02According to Rosa's guy, she's been arrested a few times, mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others.
01:23:10But she's a lot more dangerous than her rap sheet hinted at.
01:23:14And we have no idea where she is now.
01:23:16I'm sure she's still out there.
01:23:18Just running the same game on another unsuspecting family.
01:23:22Well, she can't hide forever.
01:23:27Would you look at this place?
01:23:30It's enormous.
01:23:34You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:36Are you alright?
01:23:37Maybe I am.
01:23:38A little.
01:23:40I need this to go right.
01:23:43Don't worry, honey. Mama's here.
01:23:46I'm gonna make sure that man in there is yours.
01:23:50All yours. And soon.
01:23:53Okay.
01:24:09Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:11I'm Bridget.
01:24:13Yes, Landon's mentioned you.
01:24:15Landon's mentioned you as well.
01:24:17This is my mother, Christine.
01:24:19Hi.
01:24:20Hello. Well, 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.
01:24:38Oh, my God!
01:25:08Oh, my God!
01:25:38I'm gonna go get Landon for you.
01:25:40Oh, my God!
