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 love 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 enough
00:03:34for 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.
00:04:01And I should warn you, I can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:05Well, I'm sure I can handle her.
00:04:07I 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.
00:04:39Here, I 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.
00:06:15I know how terrible it all was, but honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:23I 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.
00:07:10Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:14Mom, come on.
00:07:16Be nice.
00:07:17Thank 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?
00:07:46Just 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.
00:08:06So, 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.
00:08:29You get the money from your first husband or something?
00:08:32Um, uh, no, actually, um, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:42Yeah, for the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:45Oh, is that right?
00:08:47What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:51Well, I'm a divorce attorney.
00:08:53Ah, got it.
00:08:56So, while all those miserable, desperate people are suffering right there in front of you,
00:09:01you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:06I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:08Oh, no, of course not.
00:09:11I'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.
00:09:38Isn'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 great.
00:09:57This is going to be so much fun.
00:10:07You 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?
00:10:16Kristen, 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?
00:10:28Kristen, I 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...
00:10:35What happened?
00:10:35I mean, was it something in her tone, maybe?
00:10:37Yeah, more like something in her words.
00:10:40Oh, Chris, I don't know.
00:10:41She's just from a different era, and yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:47Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart, and it's usually in the right place.
00:10:51She'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?
00:11:03I 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 let Maggie get used to her new surroundings.
00:11:16And I promise, this is all going to work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:27What 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?
00:11:45Your 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.
00:12:01You 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.
00:12:11Sorry, 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.
00:12:29That's my soon-to-be ex, and he...
00:12:31Oh, never mind.
00:12:33I'm sure you hear about this divorce stuff all day long,
00:12:35and that is not at all the reason you're here.
00:12:39How are you doing?
00:12:41I'm, uh...
00:12:42I'm okay.
00:12:44You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:52James' mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so...
00:12:55You have someone new living in your house.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59She, um...
00:12:59She has diabetes, and she has to use a walker to get around.
00:13:02That poor woman, that's awful.
00:13:05What's she like?
00:13:06She doesn't like me, I can tell you that much.
00:13:09How do you know?
00:13:10I don't know.
00:13:10I'm just...
00:13:11I mean, she looks at me, you know, I'm just 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.
00:13:26It 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.
00:14:17I know.
00:14:18I just, um, I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:24You 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.
00:15:33How's it hanging, kid?
00:15:35I'm Maggie.
00:15:37Michael, and it's hanging just fine, I guess.
00:15:41Your mama actually allows you to have boys over when she's not home?
00:15:46I'm 19.
00:15:47Exactly my point.
00:15:48Like little rabbits at your age.
00:15:50Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Where's Kristen anyway?
00:15:55Uh, she is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:16:01You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off.
00:16:06Uh.
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?
00:16:19And what happened?
00:16:23Do you know what?
00:16:24I'm starving.
00:16:25Should we go?
00:16:25Let's do this.
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:27Hey, Michael.
00:16:28Come here.
00:16:29I've got something to tell you.
00:16:32Uh.
00:16:33Yeah.
00:16:37What's up?
00:16:38I gotta lean in if I'm gonna tell you.
00:16:42Boo!
00:16:43Mom.
00:16:46You're a strange one, Maggie.
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:48Always have been.
00:16:50Always will be.
00:16:51Hey, come on, Michael.
00:16:52Let's go.
00:16:54Cheers.
00:16:55You two have fun.
00:16:56Bring me back some cheesecake.
00:17:05So, Maggie.
00:17:07She'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, or we're gonna have a pump.
00:17:14How's your mom been holding up with the new house guests anyways?
00:17:18She's struggling.
00:17:20And I can tell, too.
00:17:21And she was doing so well after everything that happened.
00:17:23Like, the last thing she needs is this lady picking at her, making her crazy.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28Oh, what's that face?
00:17:43Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.
00:17:59Oh, my God.
00:18:00Are you serious?
00:18:01Steve, do me a favor.
00:18:02You 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?
00:18:09Yeah, well...
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?
00:18:23Was he, like, like a car in?
00:18:25No, no, not that close.
00:18:27I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:29But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:35Yeah, you're, uh...
00:18:37You'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?
00:19:24This is Kristen.
00:19:24Who is this?
00:19:43Stop calling me!
00:19:44Wow.
00:19:45Well, hello to you, too.
00:19:47Hi, James.
00:19:49Is, uh, is everything okay?
00:19:50Yeah, yeah, I just...
00:19:52I kept getting this unknown number,
00:19:55and then when I answered, no one was there, and...
00:19:58You know what?
00:19:59Uh, never mind.
00:20:00Everything's fine.
00:20:02Good.
00:20:03Well, uh, Mara is out to dinner with Michael.
00:20:06I 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.
00:20:12I think she misses you already.
00:20:14Um, uh, soon.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:17See you soon.
00:20:18Bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:38You can't be serious.
00:20:39It's not gonna be for long, okay?
00:20:41Just a few months, max.
00:20:43A few months?
00:20:44Mara, I'm talking to two realtors
00:20:46who are looking for apartments for us right now in L.A.
00:20:49Well, Michael, I don't know what you want me to say, okay?
00:20:51I can't just leave her alone right now.
00:20:54She's a grown woman who can...
00:20:55Got the daylight scared out of her
00:20:57by some maniac at her spin class?
00:21:00Yeah, like a year ago.
00:21:04Oh.
00:21:04I'm sorry.
00:21:06I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea.
00:21:10Okay?
00:21:11She was getting constant phone calls every single day.
00:21:14This psychopath was leaving these very disturbing messages
00:21:17talking about how they were soulmates
00:21:19and how they were meant to be together
00:21:20and she should just give in to fate.
00:21:23Oh.
00:21:23Calling her all the time.
00:21:25Following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:27He was popping up at places that she didn't even know
00:21:29she was gonna be.
00:21:29I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:33Jesus, you never talked about it much.
00:21:37I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:39Frightening?
00:21:42The dude broke into our house
00:21:44and that's the night that
00:21:48she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:51Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most,
00:21:55I was at some stupid house party playing beer pong.
00:21:57And, you know, if I would have been there,
00:22:00who knows?
00:22:01Maybe I could have helped her keep it together.
00:22:04Mara, you can't blame yourself for that.
00:22:07Can't I?
00:22:08Just a little?
00:22:11I mean, I do feel responsible.
00:22:15That's why I've been sleeping at home again.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20Don't remind me.
00:22:22Look, it's just gonna be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:25Okay.
00:22:27So, whatever happened to that spin-class stalker anyways?
00:22:31The police came.
00:22:32They carted him away.
00:22:33But, you know, unfortunately by then,
00:22:35some real damage had already been committed.
00:22:38And was she, like, committed?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Briefly.
00:22:45Just a couple of days.
00:22:46But since then,
00:22:48she's just been getting by
00:22:49with support from friends and family.
00:22:50Well, it's a good thing
00:22:52she has a daughter like you, then.
00:22:55James was a really big help, too.
00:22:57Huh.
00:22:58Yeah, I like James.
00:23:00Me, too.
00:23:01I don't know.
00:23:02There was always something
00:23:02different about him.
00:23:05You know, I couldn't quite put my finger on it,
00:23:06but
00:23:06at least he's been a positive force
00:23:08in my mom's life.
00:23:09Hey, Maggie.
00:23:19Kristen.
00:23:22You demolish any
00:23:23marriages today?
00:23:25You know, three or four.
00:23:28Unusual amount.
00:23:31What are you doing?
00:23:33Solving the conflicts
00:23:34in the Middle East.
00:23:35It's a lot harder than I thought.
00:23:37What does it look like I'm doing?
00:23:41Playing solitaire, right?
00:23:45I guess I just met.
00:23:46How's it going?
00:23:49What did you say
00:23:50the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:53And how many people
00:23:56usually play it at one time?
00:23:58Just, just one.
00:24:01Huh.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:04Hmm.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:08I'm not really sure.
00:24:09Uh, he's
00:24:10doing some errands or something.
00:24:17What's wrong?
00:24:18You're looking a little frantic.
00:24:21No, I'm fine.
00:24:22It's just...
00:24:23What's the matter?
00:24:32You're not going to answer it?
00:24:37Hello?
00:24:43Hello?
00:24:43Hello?
00:24:43No one there?
00:24:52No, there's not.
00:24:59No.
00:24:59No, you don't.
00:25:01No.
00:25:02Where are you rushing off to?
00:25:03I saw you!
00:25:07Hey, Mom, what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even touched your food.
00:25:21Oh, yeah, don't mind me.
00:25:22I'm just a little stressed out
00:25:24for some reason tonight,
00:25:25and there's nothing wrong with that.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28No, of course not.
00:25:29Are you getting any more of those calls
00:25:34that we were talking about today?
00:25:37Are you?
00:25:40You know I did.
00:25:42What calls are they talking about?
00:25:43I get unknown callers all the time.
00:25:47I mean, it could be anybody.
00:25:49For all we know,
00:25:49it could be just a super dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:53Yeah.
00:25:53I mean, it could be.
00:25:55Except, you know,
00:25:56a major part of telemarketing
00:25:57is actually talking to the person
00:25:58you're trying to reach.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:00I'm sure it's nothing.
00:26:02Well, if it's nothing,
00:26:03why did your lovely new bride
00:26:05race out into the backyard afterwards
00:26:07like her pants were on flipping fire?
00:26:10Mom, you did?
00:26:13You did that, babe?
00:26:15Why?
00:26:17I thought I saw somebody out there.
00:26:21And?
00:26:23And I was wrong.
00:26:26It's okay.
00:26:27It's really okay, Mom.
00:26:29Does all this have something to do
00:26:31with your breakdown last year?
00:26:32All right, James told me
00:26:38that you came close
00:26:39to losing your marbles.
00:26:41I did not.
00:26:43I did not say that.
00:26:44Mom, would you please be...
00:26:46Interested in my daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:48I thought that's the reason why I came,
00:26:50was for all of us
00:26:51to get to know each other.
00:26:53Well, you could be a little nicer.
00:26:55And I could be from Kalamazoo,
00:26:57but I'm not.
00:26:58I am who I am.
00:27:00One of the great benefits
00:27:02of getting to know each other,
00:27:04and believe me, there aren't many,
00:27:05is being able to say that
00:27:08and know for sure
00:27:08that it's 100% true.
00:27:13Look,
00:27:14I'm sorry.
00:27:17I didn't come here
00:27:19to be anyone's thorn.
00:27:21So if you want me to leave,
00:27:23I will.
00:27:28No, no, Maggie.
00:27:30I...
00:27:30I wouldn't have that.
00:27:33Hey, we're a...
00:27:35We're family now.
00:27:36Right?
00:27:39Do I have the greatest wife,
00:27:41or what?
00:27:45Oh, you know,
00:27:46will you guys excuse me?
00:27:47Mom?
00:27:48No, Mara, I'm fine.
00:27:49I just need to get some fresh air.
00:27:51Do you want me to go...
00:27:52No, no.
00:27:52You guys, uh, just relax.
00:27:56I don't really blame her.
00:28:00It's a nice night out there.
00:28:18Hey.
00:28:19Hey.
00:28:19Oof.
00:28:21Maggie.
00:28:22She's, uh...
00:28:24She's sick, Mara.
00:28:25We should be pitting her
00:28:26and not judging her.
00:28:28Well, we're not the one
00:28:30licking down our noses.
00:28:33Look, Mom,
00:28:33I know that I keep asking you this,
00:28:35but are you okay?
00:28:38Yeah, don't worry about me.
00:28:40That's not an answer.
00:28:42Okay, well, you know,
00:28:43for you it is.
00:28:44Look, I know I'm the reason
00:28:47that you put off your move
00:28:48with Michael.
00:28:49Mom.
00:28:49No, Mara,
00:28:50I don't want you putting
00:28:51your life on hold for me.
00:28:52Well, you know,
00:28:54I don't want you back
00:28:55in that place.
00:29:00When you say we, uh,
00:29:01go inside and show me
00:29:02some yellow little sun,
00:29:03you know,
00:29:05still cool as they chill out?
00:29:07No.
00:29:07No.
00:29:09But I can show you
00:29:09how to do that.
00:29:10Good.
00:29:11Show me some cool water
00:29:12and I'm pretty soon.
00:29:25Oh, hey.
00:29:28Listen, I wanted to thank you
00:29:29for making the
00:29:30John Handicap Friendly.
00:29:33Maybe you could, uh,
00:29:35take a hint?
00:29:36Come again?
00:29:37Look, you could show
00:29:39a little bit more kindness
00:29:40around here.
00:29:41Okay?
00:29:44And as far as
00:29:45the bathroom upgrade goes,
00:29:47you can thank
00:29:48your son for that.
00:29:50Yeah, but I'm talking
00:29:51to you.
00:29:52And it seems like
00:29:53you have something
00:29:54to say.
00:29:56Is it about your mother?
00:30:00Maggie, my mom
00:30:01has done nothing
00:30:02but show kindness to you,
00:30:03including giving you
00:30:04a room and a board.
00:30:07And, you know,
00:30:08I see her trying
00:30:09to make it work.
00:30:11She's not tough like you.
00:30:13And you see that,
00:30:14so I'm just...
00:30:16Honestly, I'm really not sure
00:30:17why you have to make it
00:30:18so hard on her.
00:30:20Well, you call it hard.
00:30:22I call it helpful.
00:30:25The worst thing you can do
00:30:27is indulge someone's fantasies
00:30:29when they're not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:34You think she's enjoying this?
00:30:37Well, there you go,
00:30:38using the dirty definition.
00:30:40But when you actually
00:30:41break the word down,
00:30:43what it really means
00:30:44is that someone
00:30:46has seen something
00:30:46that's not there
00:30:47due to a psychological need.
00:30:50So what are you saying?
00:30:51Well, I'm saying
00:30:52that's a good thing
00:30:53she's seeing a head doctor.
00:30:55Just saying.
00:30:58Look,
00:30:59I'm sorry, okay?
00:31:02I know how I can come off
00:31:04sometimes.
00:31:06But maybe if you just
00:31:09try to see the situation
00:31:11through my eyes,
00:31:12the way you're being
00:31:13protective of your mother,
00:31:16is kind of how I feel
00:31:18about my son.
00:31:21And I might not be around
00:31:22very much longer.
00:31:25In fact,
00:31:25it could be sooner than later.
00:31:28So I...
00:31:30I guess I'm...
00:31:32I'm just trying to make sure
00:31:34that she can do
00:31:35what needs to be done
00:31:37before I'm gone.
00:31:39I get it.
00:31:40I do.
00:31:41It's just...
00:31:42It's a lot.
00:31:44Yeah, so is a mother's love.
00:31:48It's time for me
00:31:56to get to bed.
00:31:58You have a nice night now.
00:32:01Okay?
00:32:02Night.
00:32:18You have a nice day.
00:32:39No...
00:32:40It's me, it's me
00:32:55You should have a bad dream
00:32:56Okay
00:32:59I'm a bad dream
00:33:00Come here, come here
00:33:03Oh God
00:33:05I'm so sorry
00:33:07So sorry
00:33:37Morning, boss
00:33:39Morning
00:33:40There you go
00:33:41You look exhausted
00:33:43Thanks, Steve
00:33:45That was the look I was going for
00:33:46Did 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, leave
00:33:56Sure thing
00:33:57Oh, hey
00:33:58I just spoke with the building manager
00:34:00Oh, what do you say?
00:34:02Basically, he said he follows all the protocols in the book
00:34:04But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint
00:34:06You're more than welcome
00:34:07No, that's okay
00:34:10I feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill
00:34:13So let's just put it behind us
00:34:15Sounds good to me
00:34:34Hey, Steve
00:34:35Yeah
00:34:36Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:41Um, not that I know of
00:34:42Why?
00:35:02Yes?
00:35:02Rebecca Palmer's here
00:35:04Uh, thanks
00:35:06You okay?
00:35:10Yeah, yeah
00:35:11Can you, uh, show her in, please?
00:35:14All right
00:35:14It'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, well, let me see if I can make that a little easier for you
00:35:25Well, uh, let me start with
00:35:27Sorry, I should have this on silent
00:35:33Yes, you should
00:35:34It's been a bit hectic
00:35:37My mother-in-law's been staying with us
00:35:39Looks like someone really wants to talk to you
00:35:44Hmm, apparently
00:35:46Uh, okay, so, um, were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:55Yes, I did
00:35:56I, I emailed that to you three days ago
00:35:59Right, yes, of course you did
00:36:01And maybe this is a bad time
00:36:07No, no, no, no, no
00:36:08Um
00:36:09Oh, my God
00:36:13What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm, I'm sorry, Rebecca
00:36:18Will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:20By the time I came back into my office, the client was already gone
00:36:39Oh, God, what am I saying? She's probably an ex-client by now
00:36:42I'm sorry that, that happened, Kristen, but, um, this, this second stalker, don't you think that's
00:36:49Unlikely
00:36:51Based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice
00:36:54Lucky me, you know, two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women
00:36:58Let's not get ahead of ourselves
00:37:00Now, start from the beginning
00:37:02Now, you received some calls from an unknown number
00:37:05And 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
00:37:17That was left on your office desk this morning
00:37:20And a text asking me if I liked it
00:37:23Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah
00:37:25Damn 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
00:37:35Easy, 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
00:37:45I take it, well, that's not going well
00:37:48I mean, I get that she's sick, you know
00:37:52And so I'm, 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
00:38:12And 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
00:38:22So you're tired
00:38:23Your brain is playing little tricks on you
00:38:25And those phone calls, those could be legitimate wrong numbers
00:38:28Yeah, and then the text
00:38:31That I, that I can't show you
00:38:33And the roles
00:38:34That could be James trying to surprise you
00:38:36Or, you know what, you could have a secret admirer out there
00:38:39Somewhere trying to find a way to reach out
00:38:41But, um, nothing wrong with being extra cautious
00:38:43These things keep happening
00:38:45You call me, or
00:38:47Call the police
00:38:49So, Dr. Leslie
00:38:51You, you think I could have a stalker again?
00:39:21Wow
00:39:28Look at you out here
00:39:30What's next?
00:39:32You going to clean out the gutters?
00:39:33Put a fresh coat of paint on the house?
00:39:35Yeah, I mean, that's me, Mr. Suburbia
00:39:37I'm actually, I'm glad that you're here
00:39:40I mean, I wanted to talk to you
00:39:42I'm concerned, uh, about your mother
00:39:45Yeah, me too
00:39:48That's actually why I wanted to talk to you
00:39:51Oh, good
00:39:51I mean, to me, it seems like she's kind of losing it a little, you know, mentally
00:39:57Yeah
00:39:58I see it too
00:40:00Is this how she acted the last time with her breakdown?
00:40:04Yeah
00:40:07I guess
00:40:08To be honest
00:40:09I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time
00:40:13You know, because I wasn't expecting it
00:40:15But, uh, I am now
00:40:17What about this stalker?
00:40:19I mean, do you
00:40:19Do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy?
00:40:23I think that she believes it
00:40:25And, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot
00:40:28Yeah
00:40:29Mentally
00:40:29You don't have to talk to Maggie, James
00:40:32She's making it worse
00:40:33Yeah
00:40:34My mom, she
00:40:36She really knows how to push people's buttons
00:40:39She is who she is
00:40:41So she declares
00:40:42Look, if you can't control Maggie
00:40:46I'm gonna have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house
00:40:50I know
00:40:51I know it sounds harsh, but
00:40:53I get it
00:40:55Your mom's mental health is more important
00:40:59Yeah, good
00:41:01Great
00:41:02Yeah
00:41:03I'm glad we're on the same page with that
00:41:05100%
00:41:06Oh, man
00:41:07We love you, James
00:41:10I don't know if I ever really thanked you for making my mom so happy
00:41:14Okay
00:41:17Well, uh, I'll let you get back to it
00:41:20Oh, you missed a spot
00:41:24Good night
00:41:28Do we have a problem?
00:41:36It's time we go for a ride
00:41:44I had a feeling
00:41:47So you and the girls seem chummier than ever
00:42:04And when I see you with the mother
00:42:05I swear I can feel the love
00:42:08So 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
00:42:19Yeah
00:42:20He's supposed to be meeting us here
00:42:22Hey
00:42:24Back here
00:42:25So I had to start drinking
00:42:30You know, trailing soccer moms all day
00:42:33It's thirsty business
00:42:34We didn't come here to drink with you, Max
00:42:38What are you still doing with that stupid walker?
00:42:43Because you idiot
00:42:45I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now, can I?
00:42:52Yeah, yeah
00:42:55You told me that before
00:42:57I still don't understand why you use that stupid thing
00:42:59Because it makes me a sympathetic character
00:43:02Even when I'm acting like a raging bitch
00:43:05Well, why don't you just kill her with kindness?
00:43:08Because we're supposed to be gaslighting her
00:43:10It's a delicate act of balance
00:43:14See, how it works is
00:43:17Somebody, me
00:43:19Puts a target on their heels as much as possible
00:43:23While someone else, him
00:43:26Yeah
00:43:27I hold their hand
00:43:29Look them in the eye
00:43:31And I say
00:43:32Everything's gonna be alright, baby
00:43:35Ooh
00:43:36Get some spinning real good
00:43:40Well, and then someone else comes along
00:43:42Me
00:43:43And
00:43:44Pushes them over the edge
00:43:47Looks like someone's really enjoying themselves
00:43:50That's funny
00:43:51Because I was about to say the same thing about you
00:43:53Ah, guilty as charged
00:43:55Okay, okay
00:43:57So I get it
00:43:59Good con, bad con
00:44:01I get that whole thing
00:44:02Why this lady?
00:44:03I came across this blog she wrote
00:44:07About her nervous breakdown last year
00:44:09Some love-struck fool breaks into her house
00:44:14And drives her crazy
00:44:16So
00:44:17I hired this guy
00:44:19To help me double down on it
00:44:21Yeah
00:44:22Once we have it committed
00:44:24I'll be in complete control of her finances
00:44:27Won't take long
00:44:28And we'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean
00:44:31And what about the lady's daughter?
00:44:35Ah, that's why we're here
00:44:36The little brat is getting real protective
00:44:40She'll get rid of us soon
00:44:42If we don't get this done
00:44:44And chances are she'll be successful
00:44:48So
00:44:50We gotta do this thing
00:44:52Tonight
00:44:53Right, son?
00:44:56Right, mom
00:44:56Mom, yoga's supposed to relax you
00:45:08Not stress you out more
00:45:10Honey
00:45:13You and Michael are supposed to be leaving for LA next week
00:45:15The move has been pushed back a few months, that's all
00:45:18No, you mean your life is being delayed because of me
00:45:20No
00:45:21Because
00:45:22You know, there's been a whole lot of changes around here lately
00:45:24Sweetheart, I'm gonna be fine
00:45:26I mean, I know Maggie can be tough
00:45:28But I've got James to help me handle her
00:45:30You know, he really does love me
00:45:32I know
00:45:33He would never do anything to hurt me
00:45:36Yeah
00:45:36Come on, let's take a break
00:45:40I'm dying
00:45:40Okay
00:45:41Your job's done here, Max
00:45:45It's time for you to get out of Dodge
00:45:47Looks a little light
00:45:56I told you the deal when I hired you
00:45:59You get the rest
00:46:01When we all get ours
00:46:03Fine
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
00:46:19That's a bad idea
00:46:21See, first
00:46:23You don't know the layout of the house
00:46:25And second
00:46:25You 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
00:46:39And she cannot know that I am physically capable of it
00:46:45So
00:46:46You can't be anywhere near the house
00:46:49In fact
00:46:51I don't even want you in the same state
00:46:54Okay
00:46:57Then I'm gonna need some more money
00:47:00Up front
00:47:02Not this when and if
00:47:03The thing
00:47:04I'm talking about right now
00:47:07You gotta be flippin' kidding me
00:47:12It's like my drunk dad
00:47:14It's like my drunk dad used to say
00:47:15A little leverage
00:47:16Is better than any beverage
00:47:17Huh?
00:47:24What do you say?
00:47:25Should we go to an ATM?
00:47:27Or what?
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
00:47:33What I know
00:47:34Okay, Max
00:47:40You win
00:47:41Finish your drink
00:47:44And we'll go get you your money
00:47:47Dynamite
00:47:51Dynamite
00:47:56So
00:48:01We two
00:48:02You two ain't angry at me, right?
00:48:04Of course not, Max
00:48:05Good, because you do the same
00:48:07You and me, right?
00:48:09Of course I would
00:48:10Good
00:48:10Because we're all just terrible people
00:48:12Right?
00:48:13Well, we have to be
00:48:26You and me
00:48:28You and me
00:48:37Oh, my God.
00:49:07Oh, my God.
00:49:37Hey, you love birds.
00:49:45I'm turning in.
00:49:47Okay, Mom.
00:49:49Uh, good night.
00:49:51Yeah, sleep tight.
00:49:53Hey, honey.
00:49:56Thank you for everything.
00:49:58I mean it.
00:50:00Oh, thank you, Maggie.
00:50:02That means a lot to me.
00:50:15I'm going to bed.
00:50:17I'm exhausted.
00:50:18Ah, me too.
00:50:20Yeah.
00:50:21Well, see you in the morning, okay?
00:50:24I'll be out before my head hits the pillow.
00:50:27Night, Maggie.
00:50:27Okay.
00:50:27I'll be out.
00:50:28Okay.
00:50:29I don't know.
00:50:59I don't know.
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:59I don't know.
00:52:29I don't know.
00:52:39I don't know.
00:52:40I don't know.
00:52:41I don't know.
00:52:42I don't know.
00:52:43I don't know.
00:52:44I don't know.
00:52:45I don't know.
00:52:46I can't believe your mom was actually nice to me tonight.
00:52:50I told you.
00:52:52She really likes you.
00:52:55Yeah, you know, I'm gonna make more of an effort with her.
00:53:00That's incredible, considering that she hasn't even met you halfway.
00:53:05Mom, I swear I'm gonna make her love me, even if it kills me.
00:53:09Good night, baby.
00:53:16Good night, baby.
00:53:21Sweet dreams.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:23Yeah.
00:53:24Sweet dreams.
00:53:38Yeah.
00:53:39Sweet dreams.
00:53:40Sweet dreams.
00:53:41Sweet dreams.
00:53:42Sweet dreams.
00:53:43Sweet dreams.
00:53:45Sweet dreams.
00:53:46Sweet dreams.
00:53:47Oh, no, no, no.
00:53:48How old are you looking for?
00:53:49Sweet dreams.
00:53:50Sweet dreams.
00:53:51My wife.
00:53:52Hey, OK.
00:53:53Sweet dreams.
00:53:54iamo Ar splittered.
00:53:55So you've got a card?
00:53:56I do not know where she'll habitats.
00:53:57Okay?
00:54:59James.
00:55:00James.
00:55:01Hey, wake up.
00:55:04Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:08Hey.
00:55:09Hey.
00:55:10I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:19Hey.
00:55:21Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:51I've been waiting for you.
00:56:21Oh, my God, please.
00:56:46Please, answer, please.
00:56:47911, what's your emergency?
00:56:48My name is Kristen 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.
00:56:57And my husband and my mother-in-law.
00:56:59Get everyone together. I'm sending a car right away.
00:57:01Okay, okay.
00:57:02Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:57:08Jason! Jason, why don't you go?
00:57:11Jason, please, I'm telling you.
00:57:15Help!
00:57:16Somebody help me!
00:57:17Please!
00:57:18Please help me!
00:57:20Somebody help me!
00:57:22Sorry.
00:57:22Help!
00:57:24Help!
00:57:25Somebody help me!
00:57:30Kristen!
00:57:32Kristen!
00:57:34There's somebody down the door!
00:57:35It's me! It's me!
00:57:36No, no, no!
00:57:37It's me!
00:57:38No, no, no, no, no!
00:57:40There's no way in the house.
00:57:41There's no way. It's just me.
00:57:42Look at me. Look at me.
00:57:44Look at me.
00:57:44It's just me.
00:57:45It's just me.
00:57:46It's okay. It's okay.
00:57:49What is it?
00:57:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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.
00:58:13She's actually very calm. I really like her.
00:58:17Yeah, me too.
00:58:18Thanks for squeezing her in.
00:58:20I'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.
00:58:26I know.
00:58:27She needs a lot of help, Denise.
00:58:29I 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, the God's ears.
00:58:39Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks them through these things.
00:58:42I just give them a place to stay.
00:58:44And bless you for that.
00:58:47Oh, um, Cheryl, I got to go.
00:58:50I'll check with you later.
00:58:53Hi.
00:58:54Damn it!
00:58:55Will you calm down?
00:58:57Calm down?
00:58:58Where did this halfway house for crazies come from?
00:59:01They were supposed to commit her.
00:59:03Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:06Oh, 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.
00:59:12You should get the money.
00:59:14We are crooks.
00:59:15We'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?
00:59:22That was necessary.
00:59:24This is not.
00:59:25I'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,
00:59:37so all 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?
00:59:47Actually, yeah, I do.
00:59:51Oh, text her to me, will you?
00:59:53Yeah.
01:00:07You 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.
01:00:19I'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?
01:01:06Yes?
01:01:12It's me.
01:01:13Come in.
01:01:15You see what I did?
01:01:17I called first, so 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-
01:01:36I'll owe you one.
01:01:37And considering what you owe me.
01:01:41Well, I don't mind you owing me one.
01:01:43Those are some of my favorite nights, Denise.
01:01:45Don't start.
01:01:47All right, text me the 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.
01:02:11In some cases,
01:02:12a combination of medications can work better.
01:02:14Anyone with this disease will need lifelong insulin therapy.

01:02:32You areшiu.
01:02:33You are a god for the bird.
01:02:35I treat you so,
01:02:37and I don't want to take you to take her to the castle.
01:02:40I don't want to Lord.
01:02:42He is hungry.
01:02:42You are rescue me.
01:02:43You are for the people.
01:02:44I do not want to attack them before your necessaries.
01:02:46Do not repent if you are.
01:02:48So acabou.
01:03:49My toilet's clogged, so I just figured I would use the one in here. Do you mind?
01:03:53Mind? It's your house, girly. You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:58Tinkle.
01:03:59That's funny.
01:04:01I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:02You sure you don't want me to come? I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:17It's a keg walk 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.
01:04:29I just... I want to talk to her about last night alone.
01:04:35I know that you like James.
01:04:36Hey, Mara, I barely know the guy.
01:04:39And 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.
01:04:48You must be Mara.
01:04:58Cheryl.
01:04:58Come on in.
01:04:59How's she doing?
01:05:00She'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?
01:05:06No, 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.
01:05:11Kristen, 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.
01:05:22Honey, I'm okay. Okay, I'm fine. Really, I just... I had a bad night.
01:05:27I'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. You can't. I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:40Yeah.
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...
01:05:57I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't.
01:06:01And so I figured I would just go online.
01:06:04And I...
01:06:05I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:08So I went downstairs.
01:06:09And I saw that the door was open.
01:06:13So I... I... I called 911.
01:06:16And then I... I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:21So you actually saw someone?
01:06:23I... I... I think so.
01:06:25I... 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...
01:06:34You know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:38Oh, I mean, no.
01:06:39No, James was asleep.
01:06:41And...
01:06:41I...
01:06:42Maggie can't even get around.
01:06:44She... she couldn't have done that.
01:06:46So either I... I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except
01:06:50my word.
01:06:51Or, 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.
01:07:05We will figure this out.
01:07:06Mara, I'm sorry.
01:07:07I'm so sorry.
01:07:09I'm so sorry.
01:07:10Mom, don't be sorry.
01:07:12Please.
01:07:13We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:14Promise.
01:07:15I love you.
01:07:16I love you.
01:07:26Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:28Yeah.
01:07:30It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:32Come on.
01:07:33Let's get out of here.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:46Come on.
01:07:56A little faster, please.
01:08:04I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:10Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:14All right, by me.
01:08:16So, what happened?
01:08:39Well, I mean, she had a breakdown.
01:08:43You know, a mental one.
01:08:44Mm-hmm.
01:08:46While you were...
01:08:47Was sleeping.
01:08:49I mean, I was sleeping at first.
01:08:51Until 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.
01:09:00There was nothing I could do.
01:09:02And you?
01:09:03You just...
01:09:04You slept through the whole thing?
01:09:05Oh.
01:09:07Well, same as you, dear.
01:09:09I always sleep like a log.
01:09:11I don't.
01:09:12Ever.
01:09:14But I guess the insulin helps you sleep.
01:09:17Because you take it every day, right?
01:09:19That's right.
01:09:20I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:22I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:23Oh.
01:09:24Well, you think I poke myself in the living room between commercial breaks on the TV?
01:09:31No.
01:09:33I 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.
01:09:48Cheryl is her name.
01:09:49Mm-hmm.
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
01:09:56when 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.
01:10:20I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:10:22Hmm.
01:10:23Really?
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.
01:10:39Flipping kids these days, I swear.
01:10:42Hey, what happened to having some respect for your elders?
01:10:47You 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 flippin' appetite.
01:11:06So how do you think this is going?
01:11:08You're fine.
01:13:11Hey Ross, getting back to you on that photo. Names you gave me don't match the ones I found.
01:13:15And it gets worse. Both have been arrested in the past separately for running cons down south.
01:13:20Give me a call back. I'll tell you what I know.
01:13:22This is Denise Lewis. I can't take your call right now.
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. My deep dive guy got back to me. Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are. They could be dangerous. So call me when you get this.
01:13:52Two questions. What are you doing in our house? And 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? Maybe you should ask him.
01:14:06So 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. I mean, who's he talking to?
01:14:29Kristen Shrink.
01:14:31Oh, damn it, 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 just...
01:14:48Oh, just shut up. Shut up.
01:14:52Okay. We pack our stuff and we...
01:14:55We get as much distance between us and here by dawn.
01:15:01Okay?
01:15:02Agreed.
01:15:03We're just lucky that little bitch isn't around right now.
01:15:22Get home safe, fella. I'll see you next week.
01:15:35Sure thing.
01:15:37Oh.
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.
01:15:58Denise, hi. You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:01She's good.
01:16:02Keeping mostly to her south, but peaceful enough,
01:16:04considering the last couple of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me.
01:16:07I got a message from my ex.
01:16:10This patient of mine and her daughter,
01:16:12they're in real trouble with these people.
01:16:15What did he say?
01:16:16Well, I don't know the details,
01:16:18but he's a private investigator.
01:16:20He was looking into the husband and the mother,
01:16:22and he said they're not who they say they are.
01:16:25Wait.
01:16:27What?
01:16:27Oh, my God.
01:16:28I just want to get my mom's jewelry box
01:16:39and get out of here.
01:16:40Oh, 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,
01:17:20grab our jewelry box,
01:17:21and get the hell out of here.
01:17:22No, I'll go grab it really quick.
01:17:23You just stay here,
01:17:24and then we'll go together.
01:17:25Okay, well, you should hurry.
01:17:27Oh, really?
01:17:27Because I was going to make a quick sandwich first.
01:17:29This is you hurrying.
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:40Go to sleep, kid.
01:18:01Go to sleep.
01:18:02Come on, let's go.
01:18:03Come on.
01:18:04Oh.
01:18:06You
01:18:36Where the hell are you? We gotta hit the road
01:18:54You can walk
01:18:57It's a miracle
01:19:02It was you
01:19:03You and James the entire time
01:19:06Messing with my mom, making her crazy
01:19:08First of all, girly
01:19:10That's not our names
01:19:12And second
01:19:13It didn't really take that much effort
01:19:16Only problem was
01:19:18We 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
01:19:34We're gonna tie her up
01:19:36And we're gonna get in the car
01:19:37And you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach
01:19:39In Mexico
01:19:40Before anybody knows about this
01:19:42Who put you in charge?
01:19:43I have made myself clear from the start, Jackie
01:19:46I do not want either one of them hurt
01:19:48And I've made myself clear
01:19:50I'm not going back to prison
01:19:51Oh, now look what you did
01:19:54I'll get her
01:19:56You idiot
01:19:57Lara?
01:20:09Lara?
01:20:23Lara?
01:20:24Come on
01:20:25I'm trying to help you
01:20:31Michael
01:20:37Michael
01:20:37Michael
01:20:38Michael
01:20:41Michael
01:20:42Michael
01:20:43Michael
01:20:44Michael, wake up
01:20:45Michael, wake up
01:20:45Michael, wake up
01:20:46Michael, wake up
01:20:46Michael, wake up
01:20:47Michael, wake up
01:20:47Michael, wake up
01:20:48Michael, wake up
01:20:49Michael, wake up
01:20:49Michael, wake up
01:20:50Michael, wake up
01:20:51Michael, wake up
01:20:51Michael, wake up
01:20:52Girly, real slow.
01:20:58Now 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.
01:21:09Laura!
01:21:10Laura, come here!
01:21:11Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:16No!
01:21:17You fucking fool!
01:21:20Why didn't you do that?
01:21:21Laura, I was...
01:21:22Screw this family!
01:21:30Mom!
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:33You're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:37What the hell happened here?
01:21:39It was...
01:21:40It was Maggie.
01:21:43It's not her name.
01:21:45It's Jackie.
01:21:46Where's Jackie now?
01:21:48She left the house.
01:21:49I'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.
01:22:09Mara'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.
01:22:59And, um, Maggie?
01:23:02You mean Jackie Turner?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:05According to Ross's guide, she's been arrested a few times,
01:23:08mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others,
01:23:12but 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,
01:23:20just running the same game on another unsuspecting family.
01:23:24Well, she can't hide forever.
01:23:29Would you look at this place?
01:23:32It's enormous.
01:23:35You'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.
01:23:44Don'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.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:59Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:12I'm Bridget.
01:24:12Yes, Landon's mentioned you.
01:24:14Oh, hi.
01:24:14She'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.
01:24:31No.
01:24:31No.
01:24:32No.
