00:00:00James, hey, wake up.
00:00:23Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:00:30Honey, honey, I think there's someone in the house.
00:01:00There's somebody in the house.
00:01:06James, James, wake up.
00:01:08James, wake up.
00:01:10Wake up, James.
00:01:11There's somebody down here.
00:01:13Here's help.
00:01:15Somebody in the house, James.
00:01:16Look at me.
00:01:17Look at me.
00:01:30Good morning, husband.
00:01:46Good morning, wife.
00:01:49I didn't know you were up.
00:01:51Why?
00:01:53I didn't think I was the, hey, we're in Vegas, let's get hitched kind of girl.
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:58Well, here we are.
00:02:00Damn right.
00:02:01I got you something.
00:02:08You did?
00:02:11It's just a little post-wedding gift.
00:02:14A small token of my love.
00:02:17Babe, I didn't get you anything.
00:02:21You gave me everything.
00:02:22Go ahead.
00:02:27Open it.
00:02:29Okay.
00:02:39Wow.
00:02:39You said you had a watch like it in your 20s that you lost, so.
00:02:46Yeah, I just, I can't believe that you remembered that story.
00:02:56You're welcome.
00:02:57Wow.
00:03:03Uh, so, is Mara cool with this, with us, you know, getting married now?
00:03:11I, I think so.
00:03:13I mean, we're going to have to do something more formal with her sometime soon, but.
00:03:17Absolutely.
00:03:18You know, and my mom is going to move in a minute, so, you know, we can all celebrate our
00:03:22love together.
00:03:23I don't like the sound of that.
00:03:26Hmm.
00:03:27What time's our flight?
00:03:29Uh, it's at noon, so I'll go pick her up and, look, I really, I can't thank you guys
00:03:33enough for letting her stay with us.
00:03:36It means a lot.
00:03:37I just moved in.
00:03:39Now, you've got two of us to deal with.
00:03:41We're family.
00:03:44I mean, I guess it was a little bit weird, but you and I tied the knot.
00:03:47I haven't even met your mom, but.
00:03:49Yeah.
00:03:51Yeah, and she's just, uh, Maggie's been too sick to travel lately.
00:03:55I'm telling you, Kristen.
00:03:56Listen, diabetes can be a real bitch.
00:04:01I should warn you.
00:04:03I can kind of make her one, too.
00:04:05Well, I'm sure I can handle her.
00:04:07I mean, I know I can handle you.
00:04:12Your form is so good.
00:04:27Look, I don't, I don't mean to ruin your workout.
00:04:34I just want to check in on you.
00:04:35Oh, no, it's no worries.
00:04:36It was just about done.
00:04:39I didn't see James this morning.
00:04:41Where is he?
00:04:41Are you speaking his mother up at the airport, remember?
00:04:44Oh, yeah.
00:04:44That's today.
00:04:46You two have been a couple for, like, what, six months now?
00:04:49I cannot believe you haven't even met his mom.
00:04:53Well, I think that this way, isn't it awesome we get to meet her together?
00:04:58Yeah, sure.
00:04:59Why not?
00:05:01Honey, look, I know I've asked you this a bunch of times, but you're...
00:05:03You're not upset, right?
00:05:07I mean, about us running off to get married.
00:05:09No.
00:05:11No, I just...
00:05:12I think that maybe it feels a little...
00:05:16Soon.
00:05:18I usually reserve that term for bad jokes about tragedy, but...
00:05:23Yeah, maybe a little...
00:05:26But you like him, though, right?
00:05:28James?
00:05:29No, yeah.
00:05:30I really do.
00:05:32I see the way that he treats you.
00:05:33It's very sweet, and I think that you deserve it, but...
00:05:39Like you said, it just...
00:05:41It happened so fast, and I feel like you're still pretty vulnerable after everything that happened last year.
00:05:49Maybe.
00:05:52Honey, I'm an adult, and I know what's right for me.
00:05:57I'm so much better than a year ago.
00:05:59You know, you and James are a big part of why.
00:06:07Heck, you know, between my loving daughter and my new husband and my shrink, I'm pretty much as good as new.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:16I know how terrible it all was, but...
00:06:17Honestly, Mom, think about it like this.
00:06:20How many people really get stalked twice in their lifetime?
00:06:23I have no idea that if there's one, that's one too many.
00:06:30Mom, I would like for you to meet my gorgeous and generous wife, Kristen, and her awesome and equally generous daughter, Mara.
00:06:57This is my mom, Maggie.
00:07:00It's so nice to finally meet you, Maggie.
00:07:03Welcome to our home.
00:07:05Yeah, our casa is your casa.
00:07:09Mom, would you like to say something to your host?
00:07:13Where's my room?
00:07:14Mom, come on.
00:07:16Be nice.
00:07:17Thank you for allowing me to stay with my boy.
00:07:23You're welcome.
00:07:25We're happy to have you.
00:07:26Yeah, we are happy to have you, Mom.
00:07:29Let's sit down.
00:07:29Isn't that nice?
00:07:36I'll try not to be too much trouble.
00:07:40Oh, I'm sure there'll be no trouble at all.
00:07:43Say cheese.
00:07:44What are you doing?
00:07:45I'm just taking your picture.
00:07:48Why?
00:07:49Posterity.
00:07:50I hate having my photo taken.
00:07:52Put that thing away now.
00:07:54It's okay.
00:07:55It's okay, Mom.
00:07:56It's okay.
00:07:57Why don't I go get some refreshments?
00:07:59Hey, Mara, would you help me?
00:08:00Oh, yeah, sure.
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:01Great.
00:08:02Let's leave these two to get a little better acquainted.
00:08:04Mm, all right.
00:08:05All right.
00:08:10So it's Kristen, right?
00:08:12That's me.
00:08:13Okay.
00:08:15Well, you got a good-sized house here, Kristen.
00:08:20Oh, thanks.
00:08:22A bit tacky for my taste, but that's neither here nor there.
00:08:27Good for you, living high on that hog.
00:08:29You get the money from your first husband or something?
00:08:32Um, no, actually, Mara's father passed away when she was little.
00:08:42For the record, I'm the breadwinner of the family.
00:08:44Oh, no, is that right?
00:08:47What exactly does the breadwinner do to make all that dough rise?
00:08:51I'm a divorce attorney.
00:08:53Ah, got it.
00:08:56So while all those miserable, desperate people are suffering right there in front of you,
00:09:01you're just sitting there, billing the hours and raking in that cash.
00:09:05I mean, I'm not just sitting there.
00:09:09Oh, no, of course not.
00:09:11I'm just kidding.
00:09:13So, how'd you get my boy to marry you anyway?
00:09:15Oh, well, actually, it was, um, James was, you know, the one who suggested that we do it on the spot.
00:09:24Was the wedding nice, or what?
00:09:28Because this mother of the groom never saw a damn photo.
00:09:33There you go.
00:09:35Now we're family.
00:09:37All of us.
00:09:40Isn't that wonderful?
00:09:42Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:09:44See?
00:09:45Look at you two.
00:09:46I knew it.
00:09:47A couple peas in a pod.
00:09:53Mom, is everything okay?
00:09:55Yeah.
00:09:55Yeah, I'm, uh, great.
00:09:57This is going to be so much fun.
00:10:02Uh, you wanted to see me?
00:10:08What's up?
00:10:09Come here.
00:10:10Yeah?
00:10:10Look, I just...
00:10:12What's going on?
00:10:13Kristen, just say it.
00:10:18Did your mother say anything to you about me?
00:10:22Just that she was thankful that you opened up your home to her.
00:10:27Really?
00:10:27She said that?
00:10:28I mean, I get the feeling that she doesn't like me all that much, and I have no idea what I did wrong.
00:10:33Okay, I don't...
00:10:35What happened?
00:10:35I mean, was it something in her tone, maybe?
00:10:37More like something in her words.
00:10:40Ah, Chris, I don't know.
00:10:41Is she just from a different era?
00:10:43And yeah, I mean, she can be a little rough around the edges.
00:10:46You think?
00:10:46Yeah, but trust me, she has a big heart, and it's usually in the right place.
00:10:53She's probably just testing you and see what you're made of.
00:10:57Great.
00:10:57I got an F on the first day.
00:10:59Look at me.
00:11:01Relax, okay?
00:11:02I love you and Mara.
00:11:06And yeah, this happened really fast.
00:11:09But we have the rest of our lives to take it easy.
00:11:12All of us.
00:11:13So let's just, you know, let Maggie get used to her new surroundings.
00:11:17I promise.
00:11:19This is all going to work out.
00:11:21Come here.
00:11:32What are you doing here?
00:11:41Well, maybe I just want to see that pretty face of yours.
00:11:44What do you want, Ross?
00:11:47Your request for child support is killing me, baby.
00:11:51Excuse me, baby?
00:11:53You know I don't have that much money.
00:11:55Shrinks make way more money than private investigators.
00:11:58Well, it's not my fault.
00:11:59You know I hate the word shrink.
00:12:00You know, I don't even know why we're getting divorced.
00:12:03Because you slept with your secretary, remember?
00:12:06Right.
00:12:08Hi.
00:12:10Good morning.
00:12:11Sorry, did I make a mistake?
00:12:12Is this not my hour?
00:12:13No, no, I'm sorry.
00:12:14Kristen, of course it is.
00:12:16I'll call you later.
00:12:17I know you will.
00:12:21Please, come in.
00:12:23Thanks.
00:12:27Apologies again, Kristen.
00:12:28That's my soon-to-be ex, and he, oh, never mind.
00:12:33I'm sure you hear about this divorce stuff all day long,
00:12:35and that is not at all the reason you're here.
00:12:39How are you doing?
00:12:41I'm, uh, I'm okay.
00:12:44You sure?
00:12:44You seem a little more undone today than usual.
00:12:47Did something happen?
00:12:49Maggie happened.
00:12:50Maggie?
00:12:50James' mother moved in with us a couple days ago.
00:12:54Okay, so, you have someone new living in your house.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:59She, um, she has diabetes, and she has to use a walker to get around.
00:13:03That poor woman, that's awful.
00:13:05What's she like?
00:13:07She doesn't like me, I can tell you that much.
00:13:09How do you know?
00:13:09I don't know, I'm just, the way that she looks at me, you know, I'm just cold, dismissive.
00:13:18The first time we met, she said something to me about my quickie wedding with her boy.
00:13:22Oh, sounds to me like she's just a little hurt that she didn't get to see you two get married.
00:13:26It sounded more to me like she was upset she didn't get to stop it.
00:13:29Well, mothers-in-laws, the new brides, butting heads, that's not exactly an uncommon thing.
00:13:36But, um, how's your mind doing otherwise?
00:13:41I'm, uh, I'm good.
00:13:44You know, I mean, I haven't had any nightmares the past few months.
00:13:47Mm-hmm.
00:13:49I feel like I can, I don't know, go about my business without looking in every direction for some guy creeping up behind me.
00:13:56And, I don't know, I can just breathe, I guess.
00:14:02You know, it's, little things.
00:14:05Not so little newsflash.
00:14:08I mean, your stalker actually made it into your house.
00:14:12That's terrifying.
00:14:16I know, I know.
00:14:18I just, um, I mean, sometimes I feel like maybe I, uh, overreacted.
00:14:22Your reaction was perfectly natural.
00:14:24I know, lots of people out there would have experienced some kind of breakdown from that.
00:14:29If you ask me, you're doing great.
00:14:34Thanks, Dr. Lewis.
00:14:37Thanks to you, you know.
00:14:40And, uh, and my family, of course.
00:14:42Hey, girlie.
00:14:59Hey, what's up, kid?
00:15:01I'm just waiting for Michael to come pick me up.
00:15:03We're gonna go grab a bite to eat.
00:15:04Oh?
00:15:04And who is this Michael person?
00:15:07He's my boo.
00:15:07Your boo?
00:15:09Is he a damn ghost or something?
00:15:12Mom, she's talking about her boyfriend.
00:15:15And I happen to like the kid.
00:15:18That must be him.
00:15:21Michael, you can come in.
00:15:22We're in the living room.
00:15:26There he is.
00:15:27Hey, what's up, James?
00:15:29Well, my spirits.
00:15:30Now I got my lovely mother here in one piece.
00:15:33Or two.
00:15:34How's it hanging, kid?
00:15:35I'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.
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.
00:16:01You know what we call therapy at my age?
00:16:03sucking it up and walking it off uh therapy it's like a weak sauce on a feeble sandwich
00:16:12it's a little harsh i don't think it's weird for her to get help after everything she's been
00:16:18through oh and what happened do you know what i'm starving should we go let's do this yeah
00:16:26hey michael come here i've got something to tell you

00:17:26yeah
00:17:35Whoa, what's that face?
00:17:57I just barely avoided getting attacks in the parking lot.
00:17:59Oh my god, are you serious?
00:18:01Steve, do me a favor.
00:18:02You call building management.
00:18:04They really need to get out of their game.
00:18:05Enough security around here.
00:18:06I mean, that is unacceptable.
00:18:07Wow, you were really almost just attacked?
00:18:10I mean, I definitely saw someone following me.
00:18:13You mean towards the entrance to the building?
00:18:18Well, yeah.
00:18:21Well, how close did the guy get to you?
00:18:23Was he like a car in?
00:18:25No, no, not that close.
00:18:27I mean, as soon as I turned around, he took off.
00:18:30But that could have been for any number of reasons, right?
00:18:35Yeah, you're making valid points.
00:18:41Well, do you still want me to make that call?
00:18:44Yes.
00:18:45This is Kristen.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:06Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Hello?
00:19:07Who is this?
00:19:32Stop calling me.
00:19:44Wow.
00:19:45Well, hello to you, too.
00:19:46Hi, James.
00:19:48Is everything okay?
00:19:51Yeah, yeah.
00:19:52I just kept getting this unknown number, and then when I answered, no one was there.
00:19:56And you know what?
00:19:59Never mind.
00:20:00Everything's fine.
00:20:02Good.
00:20:02Well, uh, Mara is out to dinner with Michael.
00:20:06I am done returning my client calls for the day, and it's just Mom and I here.
00:20:10We were wondering when you'd be coming home.
00:20:12I think she misses you already.
00:20:14Um, uh, soon.
00:20:16Good.
00:20:18See you soon.
00:20:18Bye.
00:20:19Okay, bye.
00:20:20You 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 who are looking for apartments for us right now in L.A.
00:20:48Well, Michael, I don't know what you want me to say, okay?
00:20:51I can't just leave her alone right now.
00:20:54She's a grown woman who can-
00:20:55Got the daylight scared out of her by some maniac at her spin class?
00:21:00Yeah, like a year ago.
00:21:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sorry.
00:21:07I'm sure it was a bad time.
00:21:09You have no idea.
00:21:10Okay, she 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.
00:21:22Oh.
00:21:23Calling her all the time, following her everywhere she went, okay?
00:21:27He was popping up at places that she didn't even know she was gonna be.
00:21:31I literally watched her fall apart.
00:21:34Jesus, you never talked about it much.
00:21:37I had no idea it was that frightening.
00:21:39Frightening?
00:21:40The dude broke into our house.
00:21:45And that's the night that she finally had her mental breakdown.
00:21:51Were you there at the time?
00:21:53When my mom needed me the most,
00:21:55I was at some stupid house party playing beer pong.
00:21:58You 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?
00:22:07Just a little?
00:22:11I mean,
00:22:12I 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,
00:22:23it's just gonna be until things calm down, okay?
00:22:27So,
00:22:28whatever happened to that spin class stalker anyways?
00:22:31The police came, they carted him away, but
00:22:33you know, unfortunately by then,
00:22:35some real damage had already been committed.
00:22:37And was she,
00:22:40like,
00:22:41committed?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Briefly.
00:22:44Just a couple of days, but
00:22:46since then,
00:22:48she's just been getting by with support from friends and family.
00:22:52Well,
00:22:52it's a good thing she has a daughter like you then.
00:22:55James was a really big help too.
00:22:58Huh.
00:22:58Yeah,
00:22:58I like James.
00:23:00Me too.
00:23:01I don't know,
00:23:02there was always something
00:23:02different about him.
00:23:04You know,
00:23:05I 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.
00:23:16Hey,
00:23:16Maggie.
00:23:19Kristen.
00:23:19You demolish any
00:23:23marriages today?
00:23:27No.
00:23:27Three or four.
00:23:28Unusual amount.
00:23:31What are you doing?
00:23:33Solving the conflicts in the Middle East.
00:23:35It's a lot harder than I thought.
00:23:38What does it look like I'm doing?
00:23:41Playing solitaire.
00:23:42I guess I just met.
00:23:46How's it going?
00:23:49What did you say the name of this game was again?
00:23:53Solitaire.
00:23:54And how many people usually play it at one time?
00:23:59Just one.
00:24:01James said you were smart.
00:24:05Where is James?
00:24:06I'm not really sure.
00:24:10He's
00:24:10doing some errands
00:24:12or something.
00:24:17What's wrong?
00:24:19You're looking a little frantic.
00:24:21No,
00:24:21I'm fine.
00:24:22It's just...
00:24:23What's the matter?
00:24:32You're not going to answer it?
00:24:33What's the matter?
00:24:36Hello?
00:24:42Hello?
00:24:47Hello?
00:24:50No one there?
00:24:52No,
00:24:53there's not.
00:24:58No.
00:24:59No,
00:25:00you don't.
00:25:01No.
00:25:02Where are you rushing off to?
00:25:06I saw you!
00:25:16Hey,
00:25:17Mom,
00:25:17what's wrong?
00:25:18You hardly even touched your food.
00:25:21Oh,
00:25:21yeah,
00:25:22don't mind me.
00:25:22I'm still
00:25:23a little stressed out
00:25:24for some reason tonight
00:25:25and
00:25:25there's nothing wrong with that.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28No,
00:25:29of course not.
00:25:30Are you...
00:25:31are you getting any more
00:25:33of those calls
00:25:34that we were talking about today?
00:25:35Are you?
00:25:40You know I did.
00:25:42What calls are they talking about?
00:25:45I get unknown callers all the time.
00:25:47I mean,
00:25:47it could be anybody.
00:25:49For all we know,
00:25:49it could be just a
00:25:50super dedicated telemarketer.
00:25:53Yeah,
00:25:53I mean,
00:25:54it could be.
00:25:55Except,
00:25:55you 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,
00:26:03if it's nothing,
00:26:04why did your lovely new bride
00:26:05race out into the backyard
00:26:06afterwards
00:26:07like
00:26:07her pants were on
00:26:09flipping fire?
00:26:10Mom,
00:26:11you did?
00:26:13You did that,
00:26:14babe?
00:26:15Why?
00:26:17I...
00:26:17I thought I
00:26:18saw somebody out there.
00:26:21And?
00:26:22And I...
00:26:24I was wrong.
00:26:26It's okay.
00:26:27It's really okay, Mom.
00:26:29Does all this have something
00:26:31to do with your breakdown
00:26:32last year?
00:26:36My James told me
00:26:38that you came close
00:26:39to losing your marbles.
00:26:41I...
00:26:42I did not.
00:26:43I did not say that.
00:26:44Mom,
00:26:45would you please be...
00:26:46Interested in my daughter-in-law's life?
00:26:48I thought that's the reason
00:26:49why I came,
00:26:50was for all of us
00:26:51to get to know each other.
00:26:53Well,
00:26:53you 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.
00:27:01One of the great benefits
00:27:02of getting to know each other,
00:27:04and believe me,
00:27:04there 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.
00:27:18I 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,
00:27:29no,
00:27:29Maggie,
00:27:30I...
00:27:31I wouldn't have that.
00:27:34Hey,

00:27:35we're family now.
00:27:36Right?

00:27:47Mom?
00:27:48No,
00:27:48Mara,

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,
00:27:53just relax.
00:27:56I don't really blame her.
00:28:00It's a nice night out there.
00:28:01Hey,
00:28:14hey.
00:28:18Hey.
00:28:20Oof.

00:28:23uh,
00:28:24she's sick,
00:28:25Mara.
00:28:25We should be pitying her,
00:28:26not judging her.
00:28:27Well,
00:28:29we're not the one
00:28:30licking down our noses.
00:28:33Look,
00:28:33Mom,
00:28:33I know that I keep asking you this,
00:28:35but
00:28:35are you okay?
00:28:38Yeah,
00:28:38don't worry about me.
00:28:40That's not an answer.
00:28:42Okay,
00:28:43well,
00:28:43you know,
00:28:43for you it is.
00:28:46Look,
00:28:46I know I'm the reason
00:28:47that you put off
00:28:47your move with Michael.
00:28:49Mom.
00:28:49No,
00:28:50Mara,
00:28:50I don't want you
00:28:50putting your life
00:28:51on hold for me.
00:28:52Well,
00:28:53you know,
00:28:54I don't want you
00:28:55back in that place.
00:29:00What do you say
00:29:01we,
00:29:01uh,
00:29:01go inside
00:29:02and show me some yellow
00:29:02little song?
00:29:03You want me to,
00:29:04you know,
00:29:05still cool as they
00:29:06chill out?
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 words,
00:29:12too.
00:29:22Oh,
00:29:26hey.
00:29:28Listen,
00:29:28I wanted to thank you
00:29:29for making the
00:29:30John handicap friendly.
00:29:33Maybe you could,
00:29:34uh,
00:29:35take a hint?
00:29:36Come again?
00:29:37Look,
00:29:39you could show
00:29:39a little bit more
00:29:40kindness around here.
00:29:42Okay?
00:29:44And,
00:29:44as far as the
00:29:45bathroom upgrade goes,
00:29:47you can thank
00:29:48your son for that.
00:29:50Yeah,
00:29:50but I'm talking to you.
00:29:52And it seems like
00:29:53you have something
00:29:54to say.
00:29:56Is it about
00:29:56your mother?
00:30:00Maggie,
00:30:00my mom has done
00:30:01nothing but show
00:30:02kindness to you,
00:30:03including giving you
00:30:04a room,
00:30:05a board.
00:30:07And,
00:30:07you know,
00:30:08I see her trying
00:30:09to make it work.
00:30:11She's not tough
00:30:12like you,
00:30:13and you see that,
00:30:14so I'm just,
00:30:16honestly,
00:30:16I'm really not sure
00:30:17why you have to make
00:30:18it so hard on her.
00:30:20Well,
00:30:20you call it hard.
00:30:22I call it helpful.
00:30:25The worst thing
00:30:26you can do
00:30:27is indulge
00:30:27someone's fantasies
00:30:29when they're
00:30:30not thinking straight.
00:30:33Fantasies?
00:30:34You think
00:30:35she's enjoying this?
00:30:37Oh,
00:30:37there you go,
00:30:38using the dirty
00:30:39definition.
00:30:40But when you
00:30:41actually break
00:30:42the 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
00:30:49need.
00:30:50So what are you saying?
00:30:51Well,
00:30:51I'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,
00:31:01okay?
00:31:02I know how
00:31:03I can come off
00:31:04sometimes.
00:31:06But,
00:31:07maybe if you just
00:31:09try to see
00:31:10the situation
00:31:11through my eyes,
00:31:12the way you're
00:31:13being protective
00:31:14of your mother,
00:31:16is
00:31:16kind of how
00:31:18I feel
00:31:18about my son.
00:31:19and I
00:31:21might not be
00:31:22around
00:31:22very much
00:31:23longer.
00:31:25In fact,
00:31:25it could be
00:31:26sooner than
00:31:26later.
00:31:28So I,
00:31:29I guess
00:31:31I'm,
00:31:32I'm just
00:31:33trying to make
00:31:34sure that
00:31:34she can do
00:31:35what needs
00:31:37to be done
00:31:37before I'm
00:31:38gone.
00:31:39I get it.
00:31:40I do,
00:31:41it's just,
00:31:42it's a lot.
00:31:44Yeah,

00:36:42i'm sorry that that happened kristen but uh
00:36:46this the second stalker don't you think that's unlikely
00:36:51based on the odds of that kind of thing happening to someone twice
00:36:54lucky me you know two-time loser with guys who hide in bushes and terrorize women
00:36:58let's not get ahead of ourselves now start from the beginning
00:37:02now you received some calls from an unknown number and no one was talking back to you
00:37:07right and and then there was somebody who's following me in the parking lot at work
00:37:12and and then outside of my house
00:37:15and now you've received a rose you said that was left on your office desk this morning
00:37:20and a text asking me if i liked it
00:37:23well can i see that
00:37:24yeah
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
00:37:41from 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 and so i'm trying to just roll with it but she is
00:37:54relentless 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 but i think you're pushed pretty close to your limit right now
00:38:18now how have you been sleeping
00:38:19not great
00:38:22so you're tired your brain is playing little tricks on you and those phone calls
00:38:26those could be legitimate wrong numbers
00:38:28yeah
00:38:30and then the text
00:38:31that i can't show you
00:38:33and the rose that could be james trying to surprise you or
00:38:37you know what you could have a secret admirer out there somewhere trying to find a way to reach out
00:38:41but um nothing wrong with being extra cautious these things keep happening
00:38:45they call me or call the police
00:38:49so dr les you
00:38:51you think i could have a stalker again
00:38:54but i don't know just about where you go

00:40:09honest I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have at the time you
00:40:14know because I wasn't expecting it but uh I am now what about this stalker I
00:40:19mean do you do you believe that she's actually being stalked by some guy I

00:40:35she she really doesn't push people's buttons she is who she is so she declares look if you can't
00:40:46control Maggie I'm gonna have to convince my mom to kick yours out of the house I know I know it sounds
00:40:52harsh but I get it your mom's mental health is more important yeah good great yeah I'm glad we're on the
00:41:04same page with that 100% oh man we love you James I don't know if I ever really thanked you for
00:41:13making my mom so happy okay well uh I'll let you get back to it oh you missed a spot
00:41:24good night good night do we have a problem
00:41:36it's time we go for a ride I had a feeling
00:41:47so you and the girls seem chummier than ever and when I see you with the mother I swear I can feel
00:42:07the love so what's wrong with that look we gotta stay focused that's what I'm telling you
00:42:14this place is empty yeah he's supposed to be meeting us here hey back here
00:42:25so I had to start drinking you know trailing soccer moms all day thirsty business we didn't come here to
00:42:36drink with you max what are you still doing with that stupid walker because you idiot
00:42:45I can't risk anyone seeing me standing on my pins now can I
00:42:52yeah yeah you told me that before I still don't understand why use that stupid thing
00:42:59because it makes me a sympathetic character even when I'm acting like a raging bitch well why don't
00:43:06you just kill her with kindness because we're supposed to be gaslighting it it's a delicate act of
00:43:13balance see how it works is somebody me puts a target on their heels as much as possible
00:43:23while someone else him yeah I hold their hand look them in the eye and I say everything's gonna be
00:43:34all right baby get some spinning real good well and then someone else comes along me and
00:43:44pushes them over the edge looks like someone's really enjoying themselves that's funny because I
00:43:51was about to say the same thing about you yeah guilty as charged okay okay so I get it the good con
00:44:00bad con I get that whole thing why this lady yeah I came across this blog she wrote about her nervous
00:44:08breakdown last year some love-struck fool breaks into her house and drives her crazy so I hired this
00:44:18guy to help me double down on it yeah once we have it committed I'll be in complete control of her
00:44:26finances won't take long we'll have it transferred to an offshore account in the Caribbean and what about
00:44:33the lady's daughter yeah that's why we're here the little brat is getting real protective
00:44:40she'll get rid of us soon if we don't get this done and chances are she'll be successful
00:44:48so we gotta do this thing tonight right son right mom
00:45:03mom yoga's supposed to relax you not stress you out more

00:57:52No, no, no.
00:57:54No, no.
00:58:06hi Denise I was gonna call you how's Kristen Walker doing I'm looking at her
00:58:12right now she's actually very calm I really like her thanks for squeezing her
00:58:19in I'd hate for her to have to spend another stay in a mental hospital even
00:58:24for a few days it was a close call I know she needs a lot of help Denise I
00:58:29know well she's gonna be evaluated again next week by the state but I'm feeling
00:58:34pretty confident we should get her home by the end of the month from your mouth
00:58:37the God's ears actually from your mouth you're the one that talks him through
00:58:41these things I just give him a place to stay and bless you for that oh um so I
00:58:49gotta go yeah I'll check with you later hi damn it will you calm down calm down
00:58:58where did this halfway house for crazies come from and they were supposed to to
00:59:03commit her yeah and you are the one that said they would do that oh damn it all
00:59:08right I said we find a way to take her out while she's there you're the husband
00:59:12you should get the money we are crooks we're not murderers and sometimes we do
00:59:18both or did I just dream about what happened at that bar mr. stabby that was
00:59:23necessary this is not I'm sorry I have to ask but this the second stalker you think
00:59:30this is like a real thing I don't know but they can't find any evidence of
00:59:35someone breaking in or leaving the house so all I know is that my mom was
00:59:39doing a lot better before Maggie got here the timing of all this it could be
00:59:43coincidental but well do you have any pictures of James and his mother actually
00:59:49yeah I do oh text her to me will you yeah
01:00:07you know you got me confused again one more time did you come into this woman's
01:00:13life to love her or to rob her don't worry about me I'm a pro okay but we do not need
01:00:22to hurt these people let's say that I agree with you there are too many other
01:00:27people in that support house we don't know the floor plan all right fine if I see you
01:00:33siding with them instead of us all bets are off all right big shot so what in the hell do we do now
01:00:42we wait till she comes back here and we turn up the gas damn it you gotta be kidding me
01:00:49and what do we do with Mara in the meantime I don't know maybe it's time that we try Max's
01:00:56kill him with kindness routine fine as long as she's not on to us question is what are you prepared
01:01:05to do if she is yes it's me come in you see what I did I called first so I guess you can't teach an
01:01:19old dog new tricks I'll keep that in mind but um what if I need you for some of your old tricks
01:01:27oh real dog doesn't forget the old stuff what do you got if I text you um some pictures you think

01:01:45don't start all right text me the pics I'll get right on maybe dangerous or even life-threatening
01:02:08family history may increase likelihood in some cases a combination of medications can work better

01:03:53Mind? It's your house, girly. You can tinkle anywhere you like.
01:03:58Tinkle. It's funny. I'll catch you later, Maggie.
01:04:09You 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. I just... I want to talk to her about last night, alone.
01:04:35I know that you like James.
01:04:36Hey, Mar, I barely know the guy. And quite honestly, nothing's been the same ever since his mom moved in.
01:04:44Yeah. Speaking of mothers...
01:04:46Good luck in there.
01:04:57You must be Mara.
01:04:58Cheryl.
01:04:58Come on in. How'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.
01:05:12Kristen?
01:05:13You have a visitor.
01:05:13Hi, 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.
01:05:21Mm-hmm.
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.
01:05:40No.
01:05:41Can you tell me what happened?
01:05:42What happened?
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:47Uh, I 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, like, go online.
01:06:04And I...
01:06:04I realized that my phone was in the kitchen.
01:06:08So I went downstairs.
01:06:10And I saw that the door was open.
01:06:13So I called 911.
01:06:15And then I went into the entryway, and he darted past me.
01:06:21So you actually saw someone?
01:06:23I... 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...
01:06:35You know, is there any way that the person you saw could have been James or Maggie?
01:06:38Oh, I'm...
01:06:39No.
01:06:39James was asleep.
01:06:41And Maggie can't even get around.
01:06:43She couldn't have done that.
01:06:45So either I...
01:06:46I do have a new guy following me, which, like, there's no evidence of except my word.
01:06:53Or, you know, I'm, um...
01:06:56I'm losing my mind.
01:06:59No.
01:07:00Mom, you're not.
01:07:01Okay.
01:07:02We're gonna figure this out.
01:07:03Together.
01:07:04I promise you.
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?
01:07:14Mom, I said I 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.
01:07:44Come on.
01:07:56A little faster, please.
01:08:04I'm gonna be collecting my pension by the time we get there.
01:08:06Next time, I'm the invalid.
01:08:12Mm-hmm.
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:14All right by me.
01:08:15so what happened
01:08:37well
01:08:39I mean
01:08:40she had a breakdown
01:08:43you know a mental one
01:08:44while you were
01:08:47sleeping
01:08:48I mean I was sleeping at first
01:08:50until she started screaming
01:08:52she was screaming so loud
01:08:53I rushed down as fast as I could
01:08:55but she had already called the police by that point
01:08:57and she was totally hysterical
01:09:00there was nothing I could do
01:09:00and you
01:09:02you just 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
01:09:13ever
01:09:14but I guess the insulin helps you sleep
01:09:16because you take it every day right
01:09:19that's right
01:09:20I've just never seen you take it
01:09:23oh
01:09:24well
01:09:25you think I poke myself
01:09:27in the living room
01:09:28between commercial breaks on the TV
01:09:30no
01:09:32I do it in my room alone
01:09:35I went to see her today
01:09:39I know
01:09:40how do you know
01:09:42well because I called the recovery house
01:09:44I spoke to this very nice woman
01:09:47um
01:09:47Cheryl
01:09:48is her name
01:09:49yeah
01:09:49she seemed very kind
01:09:51yeah she is
01:09:52I thought today might be too soon to go see her
01:09:55so 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
01:10:01oh you're such a sweet boy
01:10:04a sweet boy who lets his mother run all over his newlywed wife
01:10:08Mara
01:10:09I did not do that

01:10:46you say respect like you have one ounce of it
01:10:50you know this is a joke
01:10:53I'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?
01:11:01lost my flipping appetite
01:11:02so how do you think this is going?
01:11:16I have to go
01:11:46I don't know.
01:12:16I don't know.
01:12:46I don't know.
01:13:16It gets worse. Both have been arrested in the past, separately for running cons down south. Give 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.
01:13:31Leave me a message and I'll get back to you just as soon as I can. If 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.
01:14:26I mean, who's he talking to?
01:14:27Kristen's shrink.
01:14:31Oh, damn it, Hulk.
01:14:35Izzy?
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.
01:14:51Okay. We pack our stuff and we 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.
01:15:35It's your thing.
01:15:41Denise, here's your emergency.
01:15:43My deep dive guy got back to me.
01:15:45Those people, Maggie and James, they're not who they say they are.
01:15:48They could be dangerous.
01:15:50Oh, my God.
01:15:56Denise, hi. You're on speaker.
01:16:00How's Kristen?
01:16:00She's gut, keeping mostly to her south, but peaceful enough considering the last couple of days.
01:16:06Just listen to me.
01:16:08I got a message from my ex.
01:16:10This 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 said he was looking into the husband and the mother and he said they're not who they say they are.
01:16:26Wait.
01:16:27What?
01:16:28Oh, my God.
01:16:37I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get out of here.
01:16:40I just want to get my mom's jewelry box and get my mom's jewelry box.
01:17:10Yes, that will be fine.
01:17:15Are they both home?
01:17:16I 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.
01:17:23You just stay here and 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.
01:17:31Oh.
01:17:31Oh.
01:17:40Go to sleep, kid.
01:18:01Go to sleep.

01:18:23Come on.
01:18:23Where the hell are you?
01:18:53We've got to hit the road.
01:18:56You can walk.
01:19:01It's a miracle.
01:19:03It was you.
01:19:04You and James the entire time.
01:19:06Messing with my mom, making her crazy.
01:19:09First of all, girly, that's not our names.
01:19:13And second, it didn't really take that much effort.
01:19:17Only problem was, we didn't go far enough.
01:19:20But those days are over.
01:19:23What do you mean?
01:19:26Why did you have to come back tonight?
01:19:29Get away from her.
01:19:31It's too late for that.
01:19:33No, it's not.
01:19:35We're going to tie her up, and we're going to get in the car,
01:19:37and you and I will be drinking margaritas on the beach in 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 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!
01:19:57I'll get her.
01:20:06Mara?
01:20:23Mara?
01:20:26Mara?
01:20:28Come on.
01:20:30I'm trying to help you.
01:20:36Michael! Michael!
01:20:40Michael!
01:20:42Michael! Michael!
01:20:44Michael, wake up!
01:20:45Michael, wake up!
01:20:46Michael, wake up!
01:20:46Michael, wake up!
01:20:46Michael, wake up!
01:20:47Michael, wake up!
01:20:48Michael, wake up!
01:20:48Looks like your boo got himself a boo-boo.
01:20:51Stand up, girly.
01:20:54Real 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.
01:21:09Mara!
01:21:10Mara!
01:21:11Get away from me!
01:21:13Oh, finally, something goes right on this job.
01:21:16No!
01:21:18You fucking fool!
01:21:20Why didn't you do that?
01:21:21Mara, screw this family.
01:21:24Mara!
01:21:25Come on.
01:21:30Mom!
01:21:31What are you doing here?
01:21:32Oh, God, I heard you're in trouble.
01:21:34Are you okay?
01:21:35I'm okay.
01:21:35Okay.
01:21:36Okay.
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.
01:21:46Well, where's Jackie now?
01:21:48She left the house.
01:21:53Okay.
01:21:54I'm so glad you two are here.
01:22:03We are, too.
01:22:04Believe me.
01:22:06Yeah, we kind of need to get out of the house these days anyways.
01:22:08Mm-hmm.
01:22:10Mara's putting her plans on hold a little while longer, but this time I'm not complaining.
01:22:15Neither is my boyfriend.
01:22:17He's being a saint about all of this.
01:22:19Oh, I hear that.
01:22:22Denise, I'm so sorry about your ex's passing.
01:22:24You mean his murder.
01:22:27Oh, 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?
01:22:39Well, um, James' real name is Paul Northcutt.
01:22:46I know this sounds crazy, but he was conning you out of every dime you had, Mom?
01:22:53Okay, yes, Mara, he was, but he also saved my life.
01:22:56Mm-hmm.
01:22:58I mean, he couldn't have been all that bad.
01:23:00And, um, Maggie?
01:23:02You mean Jackie Turner?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:04According to Ross's guy, she's been arrested a few times, mostly for short-term cons with James and some with others, but she's a lot more dangerous than her rap she'd hinted at.
01:23:16And we have no idea where she is now.
01:23:19I'm sure she's still out there, just running the same game on another unsuspecting family.
01:23:24Well, she can't hide forever.
01:23:29Would you look at this place?
01:23:32It's enormous.
01:23:33You're looking a little nervous.
01:23:38Are you all right?
01:23:39Maybe I am.
01:23:40A little.
01:23:42I need this to go right.
01:23:44Well, don't worry, honey.
01:23:46Mama's here.
01:23:48I'm gonna make sure that man in there is yours.
01:23:52All yours.
01:23:53And soon.
01:23:55Okay.
01:23:55Okay.
01:24:03Hi, I'm Stephanie.
01:24:12I'm Bridget.
01:24:12Yes.
01:24:13Landon'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.
01:24:20And I'm gonna go get Landon for you.
01:24:27Make yourselves at home.
01:24:29You don't have to tell us twice.
01:24:31Wow.
01:24:32I don't know.
01:25:02I don't know.
01:25:32I don't know.
