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.
00:15:34How'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.
00:15:52Oh, my God.
00:15:54Where is Kristen anyway?
00:15:55Uh, she is at a therapy session.
00:15:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:15:59You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03Sucking it up and walking it off
00:16:06Therapy
00:16:08It's like a weak sauce on a feeble sandwich
00:16:12It's a little harsh
00:16:14I don't think it's weird for her to get help after everything she's been through
00:16:18Oh?
00:16:19And what happened?
00:16:23Do you know what?
00:16:24I'm starving
00:16:25Should we go?
00:16:25Let's do this
00:16:26Hey Michael
00:16:27Come here
00:16:29I've got something to tell you
00:16:31Yeah, what's up?
00:16:38I've got to lean in if I'm going to tell you
00:16:40You're a strange one, Maggie
00:16:47Yeah, always have been
00:16:49Always will be
00:16:50Hey, come on, Michael
00:16:52Let's go
00:16:53You two have fun
00:16:59Bring me back some cheesecake
00:17:01So, Maggie
00:17:06She's a real kick in the ass, huh?
00:17:09Yeah, she is
00:17:10She's going to need to stop kicking at my mom
00:17:13Or we're going to have a pump
00:17:14How's your mom
00:17:16How's your mom been holding up with the new house guests anyways?
00:17:18She's struggling
00:17:19And I can tell, too
00:17:21And she was doing so well after everything that happened
00:17:23The last thing she needs is this lady picking at her
00:17:26Making her crazy
00:17:26Yeah
00:17:28Yeah
00:17:28Whoa, what's that race?
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
00:18:03They really need to get out of the game
00:18:05And have security around here
00:18:06I mean, that is unacceptable
00:18:07Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:18:09Yeah
00:18:09I mean, I definitely saw someone following me
00:18:13You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:18Well, yeah
00:18:20Well, how close did the guy get to you?
00:18:23Was he like a car lift?
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
00:18:36You're, uh
00:18:36You're making valid points
00:18:39Well, do you still want me to make that call?

00:29:38you could show a little bit more kindness around here
00:29:41okay
00:29:43and
00:29:44as far as the bathroom upgrade goes
00:29:46you can thank your son for that
00:29:49yeah but i'm talking to you
00:29:51and it seems like you have something to say
00:29:54is it about your mother
00:29:57maggie my mom has done nothing but show kindness to you including giving you a room
00:30:04and a board
00:30:05and
00:30:07you know
00:30:08i see her trying to make it work
00:30:10she's not tough like you
00:30:13and you see that so i'm just
00:30:15honestly i'm really not sure why you have to make it so hard on her
00:30:19well you call it hard
00:30:21i call it helpful
00:30:23yeah the worst thing you can do is indulge someone's fantasies when
00:30:29they're not thinking straight
00:30:31fantasies
00:30:34you think she's enjoying this
00:30:36oh there you go using the dirty definition
00:30:39but when you actually break the word down
00:30:43what it really means
00:30:44is that someone has seen something that's not there
00:30:47due to a psychological need
00:30:49so what are you saying
00:30:51well i'm saying that's a good thing she's seen
00:30:53ahead doctor
00:30:54just saying
00:30:56look
00:30:59i'm sorry okay
00:31:01i know how i can come off sometimes
00:31:05but maybe if you just try to see the situation through my eyes
00:31:12the way you're being protective of your mother
00:31:14is
00:31:15is
00:31:16kind of how i feel about my son
00:31:19and i might not be around
00:31:22very much longer
00:31:24in fact it could be sooner so i guess i'm just trying to make sure that she can do
00:31:35what needs to be done before i'm gone
00:31:38i get it
00:31:39i get it
00:31:39i do it's just
00:31:41it's a lot
00:31:43yeah so is a mother's love

00:32:05To be continued...
00:32:35To be continued...
00:33:05I'm so sorry.
00:33:08I'm so sorry.
00:33:35I'm so sorry.
00:33:36I'm so sorry.
00:33:37I'm so sorry.
00:33:38Good morning, boss.
00:33:39Good morning.
00:33:40There you go.
00:33:42You 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?
00:33:51She should be here in a few minutes.
00:33:53Great.
00:33:54Just enough time to get caffeinated.
00:33:55Let me know when she arrives late.
00:33:57Sure thing.
00:33:58Oh, hey.
00:33:59I just spoke with the building manager.
00:34:01Oh, what do you say?
00:34:02Basically, he said he follows all the protocols in the book.
00:34:05But if you'd still like to make a formal complaint, you're more than welcome.
00:34:09No, that's okay.
00:34:11I feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.
00:34:13So let's just put it behind us.
00:34:15Sounds good to me.
00:34:16Hey, Steve.
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:38Did my husband drop by here?
00:34:40Um, not that I know of.
00:34:43Why?
00:34:46Yes?
00:35:03Rebecca Palmer's here.
00:35:05Uh, thanks.
00:35:08You okay?
00:35:10Yeah, yeah.
00:35:11Can you show her in, please?
00:35:13All right.
00:35:15It's great to see you.
00:35:16Mm-hmm.
00:35:16How are you today?
00:35:18I, uh, am getting a big fat divorce.
00:35:20How good can I really be?
00:35:22All right.
00:35:23Well, let me see if I can make that a little easier for you.
00:35:26Well, uh, let me start with...
00:35:28Sorry, I should have this on silent.
00:35:33Yes, you should.
00:35:36It's been a bit hectic.
00:35:37My mother-in-law's been staying with us.
00:35:39Mm-hmm.
00:35:41Looks like someone really wants to talk to you.
00:35:44Mm-hmm.
00:35:44Mm-hmm.
00:35:45Apparently.
00:35:50Uh, okay, so, um, were you able to get the property list together?
00:35:55Yes, I did.
00:35:57I-I emailed that to you three days ago.
00:36:00Right.
00:36:00Yes, of course you did.
00:36:05And maybe this is a bad time.
00:36:07No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:36:09I'm...
00:36:09Oh, my God.
00:36:15What?
00:36:16What is wrong?
00:36:17I'm-I'm sorry.
00:36:18Rebecca, will you excuse me for a minute, please?
00:36:20And by the time I came back into my office, the client was already gone.
00:36:40Oh, God, what am I saying?
00:36:41She's probably an ex-client by now.
00:36:42Well, I'm sorry that-that happened, Kristen, but, uh, this-the second stalker, don't you
00:36:49think that's unlikely, based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice?
00:36:55Lucky me, you know, two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women.
00:36:59Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:37:01Now, start from the beginning.
00:37:03Now, you received some calls from an unknown number, and no one was talking back to you.
00:37:07Right, and-and-and then there was somebody who was following me in the parking lot at
00:37:11work, and-and then outside of my house.
00:37:15And now you've received a rose, you said, that was left on your office desk this morning?
00:37:20And a text asking me if I liked it.
00:37:23Well, can I see that?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:27Oh, damn it.
00:37:28What?
00:37:29I forgot.
00:37:30I was just freaked out when I saw the message.
00:37:31I deleted it.
00:37:32That's okay.
00:37:33Oh, God, I feel like I'm losing it again.
00:37:36Easy, easy.
00:37:37Now, last time we sat down, you said you were under extra pressure at home from your
00:37:42mother-in-law moving in.
00:37:45Maggie.
00:37:46I take it, well, that's not going well.
00:37:48I mean, I get that she's sick, you know, and so I'm trying to just roll with it, but
00:37:54she 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, and B, no, but I think you're pushed
00:38:16pretty 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, and those phone calls, those could be legitimate
00:38:28wrong numbers.
00:38:30Yeah, and the text that I can show you.
00:38:34And the roles, that could be James trying to surprise you, or, you know what, you could
00:38:38have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach out.
00:38:41But, um, nothing wrong with being extra cautious.
00:38:44These things keep happening.
00:38:46They call me, or call the police.
00:38:49So, Dr. Liz, you think I could have a stalker again?
00:38:54I don't know.
00:39:24Wow, look at you out here.
00:39:31What'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.
00:39:39I'm actually, I'm glad that you're here, and I wanted to talk to you.
00:39:43I'm concerned about your mother.
00:39:47Yeah, 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?
00:40:04Yeah, I guess.
00:40:09To be honest, I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time, you know,
00:40:14because I wasn't expecting it, but I am now.
00:40:17What about this stalker?
00:40:19I mean, do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy?
00:40:22I think that she believes it, and, you know, it's putting her in a really bad spot mentally.
00:40:31You don't have to talk to Maggie, James.
00:40:32She's making it worse.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35My mom, she really knows how to push people's buttons.
00:40:39She is who she is.
00:40:41So she declares, look, if you can't control Maggie, I'm going to have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house.
00:40:50I know.
00:40:51I know it sounds harsh, but...
00:40:54I get it.
00:40:56Your mom's mental health is more important.
00:41:00Yeah, good.
00:41:02Great.
00:41:03Yeah.
00:41:03I'm glad we're on the same page with that.
00:41:06100%.
00:41:06Come here.
00:41:08Come here.
00:41:09We love you, James.
00:41:10I don't know if I ever really thanked you for making my mom so happy.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Well, uh, I'll let you get back to it.
00:41:23Oh, you missed a spot.
00:41:28Good night.
00:41:35Do we have a problem?
00:41:40It's time we go for a ride.
00:41:46I had a feeling.
00:41:47So you and the girls seem chummier than ever.
00:42:04And when I see you with the mother, I swear I can feel the love.
00:42:09So what's wrong with that?
00:42:10Look, we gotta stay focused.
00:42:12That's what I'm telling you.
00:42:18This place is empty.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21He's supposed to be meeting us here.
00:42:23Hey.
00:42:25Back here.
00:42:25So 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, Max.
00:42:37What are you still doing with that stupid walker?
00:42:42Because, you idiot.
00:42:47I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now, can I?
00:42:55Yeah, yeah.
00:42:56You told me that before.
00:42:57I still don't understand why you used that stupid thing.
00:43:00Because 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 it.
00:43:11It's a delicate act of balance.
00:43:15See, how it works is, somebody, me, puts a target on their heels as much as possible.
00:43:23While someone else, him...
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:27I hold their hand, look them in the eye, and I say,
00:43:32everything's gonna be all right, baby.
00:43:36Ooh.
00:43:36Get some spinning real good.
00:43:40Well, and then someone else comes along, me, and...
00:43:44Pushes them over the edge.
00:43:47Looks like someone's really enjoying themselves.
00:43:50That's funny, because I was about to say the same thing about you.
00:43:53Nah, guilty as charged.
00:43:57Okay, okay.
00:43:58So I get it.
00:43:59Good con, bad con.
00:44:01I get that whole thing.
00:44:03Why this lady?
00:44:03I came across this blog she wrote about her nervous breakdown last year.
00:44:11Some love-struck fool breaks into her house and drives her crazy.
00:44:16So, I hired this guy to help me double down on it.
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:23Once we have it committed, I'll be in complete control of her finances.
00:44:28Won't take long.
00:44:28We'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean.
00:44:32And what about the lady's daughter?
00:44:33No, that's why we're here.
00:44:38The little brat is getting real protective.
00:44:41She'll get rid of us soon, if we don't get this done.
00:44:45And chances are she'll be successful.
00:44:49So, we gotta do this thing tonight.
00:44:54Right, son?
00:44:56Right, Mom.
00:44:56Mom, yoga's supposed to relax you.
00:45:08Not stress you out more.
00:45:12Honey, you and Michael are supposed to be leaving for LA next week.
00:45:16The move has been pushed back a few months, that's all.
00:45:18No, you mean your life is being delayed because of me.
00:45:21No.
00:45:22Because, you know, there's been a whole lot of changes around here lately.
00:45:24Oh, sweetheart, I'm gonna be fine.
00:45:26I mean, I know Maggie can be tough, but I've got James to help me handle her.
00:45:31You know, he really does love me.
00:45:33I know.
00:45:34He would never do anything to hurt me.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:38Come on, let's take a break.
00:45:40I'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.
00:45:50Looks a little light.
00:45:57I told you the deal when I hired you.
00:46:00You get the rest when we all get ours.
00:46:13Fine.
00:46:13I don't want to be there tonight.
00:46:15When it all goes down.
00:46:17Because otherwise this whole thing has felt like a tease.
00:46:19Nah.
00:46:20That's a bad idea.
00:46:22See, first, you don't know the layout of the house.
00:46:25And second, you are a little too stimulated by this whole thing.
00:46:29And I haven't been pushing that flippin' walker for my health, either.
00:46:35I need to push this snowflake over the edge tonight.
00:46:39And she cannot know that I am physically capable of it.
00:46:46So, you can't be anywhere near the house.
00:46:50In fact, I don't even want you in the same state.
00:46:54Okay.
00:46:58And I'm gonna need some more money.
00:47:01Up front.
00:47:02Not this when and if.
00:47:04The thing.
00:47:05I'm talking about right now.
00:47:07Oh.
00:47:08You 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?
00:47:23What do you say?
00:47:25Should we go to an ATM?
00:47:27What?
00:47:27Because you don't want to go back to prison.
00:47:29I know that.
00:47:30And you do not want me telling people what I know.
00:47:34Okay, Max.
00:47:40You win.
00:47:43Finish your drink.
00:47:45And we'll go get you your money.
00:47:51Dynamite.
00:47:56Dynamite.
00:48:00So, you two.
00:48:02You two ain't angry at me, right?
00:48:04Of course not, Max.
00:48:06Good, because you do the same, you and me, right?
00:48:09Of course I would.
00:48:10Good.
00:48:11Because we're all just terrible people, right?
00:48:13Well, we have to be.
00:48:14I don't know.
00:48:34I don't know.
00:48:40I don't know.
00:48:40I don't know.
00:48:42I don't know.
00:48:43So,
00:48:45what do you do?
00:49:46Thank you for turning in.
00:49:48Okay, Mom.
00:49:50Good night.
00:49:52Sleep tight.
00:49:54Hey, honey.
00:49:56Thank you for everything.
00:49:58I mean it.
00:50:00Thank you, Maggie.
00:50:02That means a lot to me.
00:50:04I'm going to bed.
00:50:16I'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.
00:50:26Night, Maggie.
00:50:28I don't know.
00:50:30I'm going to bed.
00:50:32Oh, man.
00:50:34I can't.
00:50:36Oh.
00:50:38Oh, my God.
00:50:40Oh, my God.
00:50:42Oh, my God.
00:50:44I don't know.
00:51:14I don't know.
00:51:44I don't know.
00:52:14I don't know.
00:52:44I can't believe your mom was actually nice to me the night.
00:52:51I told you.
00:52:53She really likes you.
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.
00:53:05Mom, I swear, I'm going to make her love me, even if it kills me.
00:53:17Good night, baby.
00:53:20Sweet dreams.
00:53:22Yeah.
00:53:39Sweet dreams.
00:53:40Let's go.
00:54:10Let's go.
00:54:40Let's go.
00:55:10Let's go.
00:55:12James.
00:55:15James.
00:55:17Hey, wake up.
00:55:21Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:55:26Hey.
00:55:27Hey.
00:55:28Hey.
00:55:29Hey.
00:55:31Hey.
00:55:33Hey.
00:55:35Hey.
00:55:36Hey.
00:55:38Hey.
00:55:40Hey.
00:55:42Hey, hey.
00:55:44Hey.
00:55:45Hey.
00:55:47Hey.
00:55:49Hey.
00:55:51Oh, my God.
00:56:21Oh, my God, please. Please, 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, let me go!
00:57:11Jason, please, please, I'm telling you!
00:57:13Help! Somebody help me!
00:57:18Please!
00:57:18Please help me!
00:57:20Please, there's somebody to help you!
00:57:22move, help!
00:57:23Help!
00:57:25Somebody help me!
00:57:26Please, help!
00:57:27Help!
00:57:27Help me!
00:57:29Please!
00:57:30Please!
00:57:30Kristen!
00:57:32Kristen!
00:57:33There's somebody's house!
00:57:35There's somebody's house!
00:57:35It's me! It's me!
00:57:36No!
00:57:36No!
00:57:36No!
00:57:37Come on, don't speak!
00:57:39Come on, do that.
00:57:39Step up.
00:57:39There's only in-house.
00:57:41There's no way. It's just me. It's just me. Look at me. Look at me.
00:57:44It's just me. It's just me. It's okay.
00:57:47It's okay.
00:57:49What do you want us?
00:57:50Shh.
00:57:52No, 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.
00:58:18Thanks 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, but 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.
00:58:38Actually, from your mouth, you're the one that talks him through these things. I just give him a place to stay.
00:58:44And bless you for that.
00:58:47Oh, um, Cheryl, I gotta go. I'll check with you later.
00:58:51Hi.
00:58:54Damn it!
00:58:55Will you calm down?
00:58:57Calm down? Where did this halfway house for crazies come from?
00:59:01They were supposed to commit her.
00:59:04Yeah, and you are the one that said they would do that.
00:59:06Oh, damn it.
00:59:07All 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?
00:59:23That 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, 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, 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?
01:01:11Yes?
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't 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?
01:01:28Well, a real dog doesn't forget the old stuff.
01:01:30What do you got?
01:01:31If I text you, um, some pictures,
01:01:33you think you can find out what you can about a couple of people?
01:01:36I mean, I'll-I'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, a combination of medications can work better.
01:02:14Anyone with this disease will need lifelong insulin therapy.
01:02:20All right, let's go.
01:03:20You need something?
01:03:46No.
01:03:47No, sorry.
01:03:47My toilet's clogged, so I just figured I would use the one in here.
01:03:51Do you mind?
01:03:52Mind?
01:03:53It's your house, girly.
01:03:55You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:58Tinkle.
01:03:59That's funny.
01:04:00I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:12You sure you don't want me to come?
01:04:14I know how hard this must be on you.
01:04:16It's a keg walk compared to what she's going through.
01:04:20Thank you for driving me.
01:04:21I'm just a little shaky.
01:04:24Anybody would be.
01:04:26James 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.
01:04:34I know that you like James.
01:04:36Hey, Mar, I barely know the guy.
01:04:38And quite honestly, nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:45Speaking of mothers.
01:04:46Good luck in there.
01:04:47You must be Mara.
01:04:48Cheryl.
01:04:49Come on in.
01:04:50How's she doing?
01:04:51She's a little out of it because of the medication, but better overall than you're probably thinking.
01:04:52Okay.
01:04:53Has she talked about what happened?
01:04:54No, but she hasn't said much of anything since she got here.
01:04:55Something tells me she'll be really happy to see you.
01:04:56Kristen, you have a visitor.
01:04:57Mom.
01:04:58Hi, sweetheart.
01:04:59Hi, Mom.
01:05:00I'll let you two catch up.
01:05:01I'll be in the kitchen if you need me for anything.
01:05:02Thanks, Cheryl.
01:05:03Mm-hmm.
01:05:04Honey, I'm okay.
01:05:05I'm okay.
01:05:06Okay.
01:05:07I'm fine.
01:05:08I'm fine.
01:05:09I'm fine.
01:05:10I'm fine.
01:05:11Really?
01:05:12I'm fine.
01:05:13I'm fine.
01:05:14I'm fine.
01:05:15I'm fine.
01:05:16I'm fine.
01:05:17I'm fine.
01:05:18I'm fine.
01:05:19I'm fine.
01:05:20You must be Mara.
01:05:21Cheryl.
01:05:22Come on in.
01:05:23How's she doing?
01:05:24She's a little out of it because of the medication.
01:05:25Really?
01:05:26I just...
01:05:27I had a bad night.
01:05:28I'm so sorry.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30I can't believe I slept through it again.
01:05:31I let you down again.
01:05:32No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:34You didn't.
01:05:35And I am not sorry.
01:05:37You can't.
01:05:38I don't want you to see me like that.
01:05:40Yeah.
01:05:41Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:43Yeah.
01:05:48I woke up because I thought I heard something.
01:05:51But then I...
01:05:52I listened and...
01:05:53And there was nothing there.
01:05:55So I...
01:05:56I tried to go back to sleep, but I...
01:05:59I couldn't.
01:06:00And...
01:06:01So I figured I would just go online.
01:06:03And I...
01:06:04I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:07So I went downstairs.
01:06:09And I...
01:06:10And I saw that the door was open.
01:06:12So I...
01:06:13I...
01:06:14I called 911.
01:06:15And then I...
01:06:16I went into the entryway and he darted past me.
01:06:20So you actually saw someone?
01:06:22I...
01:06:23I think so.
01:06:24I...
01:06:25I mean, it was this shadow.
01:06:27At least, Mara.
01:06:28I swear to you, trust me, there was somebody in there with me.
01:06:31I believe you, but...
01:06:33You know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:37Um...
01:06:38No.
01:06:39James was asleep.
01:06:40And...
01:06:41I...
01:06:42Maggie can't even get around.
01:06:43She...
01:06:44She couldn't have done that.
01:06:45So either I...
01:06:46I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:52Or, you know, I'm, um...
01:06:55I'm losing my mind.
01:06:58No.
01:06:59Mom, you're not.
01:07:00Okay.
01:07:01We're gonna figure this out.
01:07:02Together.
01:07:03I promise you.
01:07:04We will figure this out.
01:07:05Mara, I'm sorry.
01:07:06I'm so sorry.
01:07:07I'm so sorry.
01:07:08I'm so sorry.
01:07:09Mom, don't be sorry.
01:07:11Please.
01:07:12We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:13I promise.
01:07:14I love you.
01:07:15I love you.
01:07:16I love you.
01:07:17Hey, you okay, Mara?
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:28It's just really hard to see her like that.
01:07:31Come on.
01:07:32Let's get out of here.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:34Come on.
01:07:35Come on.
01:07:36A little faster, please.
01:07:37I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:07:54Come on, a little faster, please.
01:08:04I'm going to be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:10Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:13Yeah, all right by me.
01:08:24So what happened?
01:08:39Well, I mean, she had a breakdown, you know, a mental one.
01:08:46While you were?
01:08:47I was sleeping.
01:08:49I mean, I was sleeping at first, until she started screaming.
01:08:52She was screaming so loud.
01:08:53I rushed down as fast as I could, but she'd already called the police by that point,
01:08:58and she was totally hysterical.
01:09:00There was nothing I could do.
01:09:02And you?
01:09:03You just, you slept through the whole thing?
01:09:07Oh, well, same as you, dear.
01:09:10I always sleep like a log.
01:09:12I don't.
01:09:13Ever.
01:09:14But I guess the insulin helps you sleep.
01:09:17Because you take it every day, right?
01:09:19That's right.
01:09:21I've just never seen you take it.
01:09:23Oh, well, 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, um, Cheryl, is her name.
01:09:49Yeah, she seemed very kind.
01:09:51Yeah, she is.
01:09:51I thought today might be too soon to go see her, 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.
01:10:01Oh, you're such a sweet boy.
01:10:04A sweet boy who lets his mother run all over his newlywed wife.
01:10:08Mara, 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.
01:10:29Look, Mara, I understand that you're upset.
01:10:33We all are upset.
01:10:35Oh, really?
01:10:36Because you guys don't seem upset at all.
01:10:38Flipping kids these days, I swear.
01:10:42Hey, what happened to having some respect for your elders?
01:10:47You say respect like you have one ounce of it.
01:10:51You know, this is a joke.
01:10:54I'm gonna 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.
01:11:06So how do you think this is going?
01:11:08I don't know.
01:11:28I don't know.
01:11:28I don't know.
01:11:36I don't know.
01:11:40I don't know.
01:12:10I don't know.
01:12:40I don't know.
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?
01:14:04Maybe you and your son are doing here. Maybe 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. 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.
01:15:06Get home safe, Phillip. I'll see you next week.
01:15:22Sure thing.
01:15:36Denise, here's your emergency. My 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.
01:15:50Denise, hi. You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:01She's good. Keeping mostly to her south, but peaceful enough considering the last couple of days.
01:16:07Just 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.
01:16:15What 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.
01:16:25Wait. What?
01:16:27I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:57Yes, 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.
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:57Go to sleep, kid.
01:18:01Go to sleep.
01:18:02Go to sleep.
01:18:02Come on, come on.
01:18:32Where the hell are you? We've got to hit the road.
01:18:56You can walk.
01:19:01It's a miracle.
01:19:02It was you. You and James the entire time. Messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:09First of all, girly, that's not our names. And second, it didn't really take that much effort.
01:19:17Only problem was, we didn't go far enough. But those days are over.
01:19:24What 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. We're going to tie her up, and we're going to get in the car, and you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach in Mexico before anybody knows about this.
01:19:42Who put you in charge?
01:19:43I have made myself clear from the start, Jackie. I do not want either one of them hurt.
01:19:48And I've made myself clear I'm not going back to prison.
01:19:53Oh, now look what you did!
01:19:55I'll get her.
01:19:56You idiot!
01:19:57You idiot!
01:20:27Come on.
01:20:30I'm trying to help you.
01:20:36Michael.
01:20:37Michael.
01:20:41Michael.
01:20:42Michael.
01:20:44Michael, wake up.
01:20:45Michael, wake up.
01:20:46Michael, wake up.
01:20:46Michael, wake up.
01:20:48Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:52Stand up, girly.
01:20:54Real slow.
01:20:57I know it's a shame.
01:21:01There's something about your spirit I kind of like.
01:21:05Even if you were a pain in my ass at every flip and turn.
01:21:09Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:18You fucking fool, why didn't you do that?
01:21:21I will not screw this family.
01:21:27Mom, what are you doing here?
01:21:33Oh, God, I heard you're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:36I'm okay.
01:21:37What the hell happened here?
01:21:39It was Maggie.
01:21:43It's not her name.
01:21:45It's Jackie.
01:21:46Where's Jackie now?
01:21:47She left the house.
01:21:49She left the house.
01:21:53Okay.
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.
01:22:22Didn'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.
01:22:37Have the police been able to tell you anything else?
01:22:40Well, um, James' real name is Paul Northcutt.
01:22:44I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?
01:22:53Okay, yes, Mara, he was, but he also saved my life.
01:22:56Mm-hmm.
01:22:58I mean, he couldn't have been all that bad.
01:23:00And, um, Maggie?
01:23:02You mean Jackie Turner?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:05According to Rosa's guide, she's been arrested a few times, mostly 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, just 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.
01:23:36You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:38Are you all right?
01:23:39Maybe I am.
01:23:40A little.
01:23:40I need this to go right.
01:23:44Well, don't worry, honey.
01:23:46Mama's here.
01:23:48I'm gonna make sure that man in there is yours.
01:23:52All yours.
01:23:53And soon.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:55Okay.
01:24:10Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:12I'm Bridget.
01:24:12Yes.
01:24:13Landon's mentioned you.
01:24:14Well, he's mentioned you as well.
01:24:16This is my mother, Christine.
01:24:18Hi.
01:24:19Hello.
01:24:19Well, please, come on in.
01:24:23And I'm gonna go get Landon for you.
01:24:27Make yourselves at home.
01:24:29You don't have to tell us twice.
01:24:31This is my mother.
