00:00:00I'm just...
00:00:31Look at the currency.
00:00:34I haven't seen this in a bunch of years.
00:00:37It's so good, huh?
00:00:39You think?
00:00:40Yes, yeah!
00:00:43Emily Dickinson's got nothing.
00:00:45Okay, no, no, you need to read more Dickinson.
00:00:48Well, is it something?
00:00:50Is it a thing or a feather?
00:00:52Something?
00:00:53Eric, you're missing the most important word!
00:00:56What are you thinking?
00:00:58I don't know.
00:01:00Watch the credit.
00:01:05All right, so...
00:01:08One small purple joy
00:01:10brings decay.
00:01:12One ecstatic instant
00:01:14they must have had to shudder.
00:01:17That's not...
00:01:21I have to go.
00:01:23Oh, yeah?
00:01:25I'll call you later.
00:01:30Don't call me now!
00:01:34Hey, I'll call you later.
00:01:42Why does Dickinson write the word dwell in possibility?
00:01:46The word dwell bothers me.
00:01:49Hi.
00:01:50Hi.
00:01:53Um, I always view dwell a little negatively.
00:01:57Possibility is there.
00:01:59But she doesn't leave her house, you know?
00:02:03It's not a coffee cup quote.
00:02:05That makes total sense.
00:02:08Tea?
00:02:09No, I'm okay.
00:02:11Are you sure you don't want some jasmine mint tea?
00:02:17Holy shit, Mom! Holy shit!
00:02:21No, I knew it!
00:02:23I knew it when you told me he was taking you to that ridiculous restaurant.
00:02:26Yep, he did it.
00:02:28And, well, I went with yes.
00:02:30I love this ring.
00:02:32It was his grandmother's.
00:02:35Mom, I'm so happy for you.
00:02:37I'm so happy for both you and Tim.
00:02:40Me too.
00:02:43Wow.
00:02:44Wow, yeah, wow!
00:02:47Oh, God.
00:02:50Did I overhear you talking to a boy?
00:02:53I was in the hallway.
00:02:55Yeah.
00:02:57College boy?
00:03:01Anna?
00:03:02No, it's nothing.
00:03:04He lives 900 miles away. It's nothing.
00:03:06Doesn't sound like nothing.
00:03:08Tim get down on one knee and all that?
00:03:11Nice try.
00:03:12And yes, he did.
00:03:13It's nothing.
00:03:15It's just this guy that I talked to online.
00:03:17I think those are literally famous last words.
00:03:21Wow, so salty now that she's engaged.
00:03:35I'm gonna get a coffee. Do you want one?
00:03:40Brett.
00:03:43I railed Mr. Golding in the chem lab.
00:03:46He told his wife, and now we're in a polyamorous threesome.
00:03:49It's great.
00:03:51Brett.
00:03:53Hi, sorry, what?
00:03:54Do you want a coffee?
00:03:55Uh, yeah, please, thank you.
00:03:57You don't have to yell at me.
00:04:03Who's Eric?
00:04:04Don't answer that.
00:04:06Hi, Eric, who are you?
00:04:08Oh, um, hi.
00:04:11Hi.
00:04:13Hi, who are you?
00:04:14Hey, uh, I'll call you later, okay?
00:04:17You can't do that.
00:04:18Who's Eric?
00:04:19Not okay, Brett.
00:04:21You'll call him later? That sounds like a man.
00:04:23What does that mean?
00:04:25Who is that?
00:04:27He's a little older.
00:04:28Okay, how much older?
00:04:31I don't know, college.
00:04:34We just talk.
00:04:37You're a naughty little girl, aren't you?
00:04:39Stop!
00:04:40Honey?
00:04:41Coming.
00:04:45An old soul, having lived through love and loss in past iterations,
00:04:50sees the whole picture and is often described as wise beyond their years.
00:04:58See, that's definitely you.
00:05:01Face time?
00:05:05Yes.
00:05:07I don't feel like it.
00:05:11You don't want to see me?
00:05:15Sometimes I like to just focus on your voice and your words,
00:05:20without that distracting face viewer.
00:05:24Yeah, right.
00:05:32How about this instead?
00:05:34We actually see each other.
00:05:37Yeah, sure, just swing on by, why don't you?
00:05:43Don't you think we should meet someday?
00:05:49No.
00:05:51No?
00:05:54It's part of the charm of this relationship, Eric.
00:05:57The vast distance that separates us.
00:06:05I don't know if you'll feel right
00:06:09to not meet and
00:06:13be in the same room with you.
00:06:25I have to go to sleep.
00:06:28This is me blowing you a kiss.
00:06:45So, I have two open houses tomorrow,
00:06:47and then Tim and I are going to meet with the caterers for the engagement party.
00:06:52But, hi.
00:06:54Cool.
00:06:55I wanted to get back in time to maybe do like a little birthday thingy with you
00:07:00before you and the girls head out, okay?
00:07:02Thank you.
00:07:10Also, we have to sit down and formalize those college tour dates, babe.
00:07:15Also, we have to sit down and formalize those college tour dates, babe.
00:07:23Honey?
00:07:25Definitely.
00:07:27Girl?
00:07:31Let's go.
00:07:40Hey.
00:07:42Hey.
00:07:43I was starting to think you were ghosting me.
00:07:46No. No, I got a little lost.
00:07:49What do you mean?
00:07:52I don't know where I am.
00:07:54Let me turn the camera off real quick.
00:07:57Pretty sure I can't help you, but okay.
00:08:00No?
00:08:02What do you think?
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:34Okay.
00:08:58I'm sorry.
00:09:01Do you realize how inappropriate and aggressive this is?
00:09:06Yeah. I'm sorry.
00:09:12I guess I thought it was some big gesture.
00:09:19Yes, a big dumb gesture.
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:28I'm sorry.
00:09:36Look, I have a gift for you.
00:09:39I'll just leave it on the porch, okay?
00:09:47I'm sorry.
00:09:50No. Hold on.
00:09:52Just wait.
00:09:55Okay.
00:10:05Hi.
00:10:13I have no interest in coming in.
00:10:15I just wanted to give you that.
00:10:17Okay.
00:10:24Happy birthday.
00:10:29Okay.
00:10:32No, you know what? Actually, I have one more thing, and then I'll go.
00:10:38You are even prettier in person.
00:10:43Oh, man.
00:10:45I'm going to go now.
00:10:49I'm sorry if I freaked you out.
00:10:51Idiot.
00:10:53That's really dumb.
00:10:57Call me later if you like it.
00:11:12Okay.
00:11:42My life had stood a loaded gun in corners till the day the owner passed, identified, and carried me away.
00:12:13How old were you actually?
00:12:16Four hundred.
00:12:18Jesus.
00:12:21I'm not in college.
00:12:24I was, but I dropped out a while ago.
00:12:31I have a lot of questions.
00:12:34I just want to be straight with you.
00:12:37I have a lot of questions.
00:12:39And I just want to be straight with you about everything.
00:12:43That's thoughtful of you.
00:12:44But when we first met...
00:12:49Met? Eric, I met you like half an hour ago.
00:12:52Okay, fine. When we...
00:12:57When we first, you know, got to know each other...
00:13:00I knew how special you were, and I panicked.
00:13:08You mean you lied?
00:13:11Yeah.
00:13:14Why did you panic?
00:13:19I mean, you're so incredibly smart, and you're funny, and you're kind, and...
00:13:30You're caring, you're like a million and one other things, and I just...
00:13:35I knew I didn't want to lose something with so much potential.
00:13:42Hey, could you be there at 4.30 today? I need help with the rivers.
00:13:48Rivers?
00:13:49Yeah, it's a thing we do. It's ironic.
00:13:52Is it now?
00:13:54Yeah, 75%.
00:13:57Ironic?
00:14:00Well, congrats on your big, dumb gesture.
00:14:06Well, you know, big and dumb will go home, right?
00:14:16Thank you for the book.
00:14:19It was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone's ever given me.
00:14:26Go ahead.
00:14:31No!
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:42No! No, there's no way I'm not getting a hug.
00:14:55Why?
00:14:56Why?
00:14:58Your hair smells so good.
00:15:07Jesus, I... I have to go.
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12Yeah.
00:15:21Babe?
00:15:23It's an ironic hat, and you have to wear it. It's a rule.
00:15:28Where's the birthday girl at?
00:15:29I don't know, and the girl should be here any minute to pick her up. Anna!
00:15:39Hey.
00:15:40Shit.
00:15:41What?
00:15:42Uh, my mom's home. We fell asleep.
00:15:45Wait, what?
00:15:46Uh, you have to get dressed.
00:15:48Oh, shit.
00:15:49Fast.
00:15:50Oh, shit.
00:15:52Shirt?
00:15:53Where's my shirt? Where's my shirt? Where's my shirt?
00:15:56Anna?
00:15:57Hold on!
00:15:59No, you have to hide. Hide.
00:16:02Anna?
00:16:04Huh?
00:16:05Hold on!
00:16:06Honey?
00:16:07Don't you knock?
00:16:08Sorry.
00:16:10Sorry, I thought you said come in.
00:16:13Um, I have something for you downstairs, and the girls are almost here, so...
00:16:17Yeah, no, I'm sorry I snapped.
00:16:19I'm sorry I barged in.
00:16:22No, I fell asleep. I'm just grumpy.
00:16:26No big deal.
00:16:27I'll be out soon.
00:16:28Okay.
00:16:34What is this?
00:16:36I don't know how I'm going to get you out of here.
00:16:39Wait, wait.
00:16:40My mom and Tim are home.
00:16:44Uh, the window.
00:16:46It isn't open wide enough for a body, I've tried.
00:16:48No, Anna.
00:16:50I can't stay here.
00:16:51You have to.
00:16:52No, I can't.
00:16:54Okay, then let's go out there and have Tim arrest you.
00:17:01Tim's a cop.
00:17:02Assistant Chief of Police.
00:17:09Is my head still intact?
00:17:13Yeah, I think so.
00:17:15Because she nearly bit it off.
00:17:18Anna?
00:17:24First day, girl!
00:17:28I won't be out late.
00:17:29No, I can't.
00:17:31I can't stay in your house.
00:17:32I'll make it as quick as I can, I promise.
00:17:35Anna!
00:17:36Coming!
00:17:37Please, just stay here.
00:17:39I'll be back soon, okay?
00:17:41I want to see you later.
00:17:49You promise?
00:17:50Yeah.
00:18:02Happy birthday, Anna!
00:18:08Happy birthday to you!
00:18:14Thank you!
00:18:19Happy birthday.
00:18:20Thank you, Mom.
00:18:22Happy birthday.
00:18:23Wow, you too.
00:18:24Yeah, well, apparently it's tradition.
00:18:28Okay, well, we should...
00:18:29Yeah, we have to go.
00:18:30Uh, wait.
00:18:31Uh, no, no, no.
00:18:32Okay, I baked this vegan cake from scratch.
00:18:35I know you don't like sweets, but you have to at least try it.
00:18:38Okay, one bite and then we'll go.
00:18:41It's good!
00:18:43Do you like it?
00:18:44Bye!
00:18:45Let's go.
00:18:46Bye, thank you!
00:18:47It's good!
00:18:48She liked it.
00:18:49One bite, she liked it.
00:18:53Denny!
00:18:54What's up?
00:18:57Hey.
00:18:59Oh my God!
00:19:03Denny!
00:19:04Yeah, so...
00:19:07Happy birthday, I guess.
00:19:10Britt, who apparently is a liar, told me you wouldn't be here, so...
00:19:18Thank you, Denny.
00:19:19Yeah, um, okay.
00:19:22Alright, uh, bye.
00:19:24I'll see you later.
00:19:28Bye, Denny!
00:19:29Stop, stop.
00:19:30That was so sweet.
00:19:48Can I come in?
00:19:51Yeah.
00:19:53No, I want to.
00:19:54Well, you have the pool.
00:19:56You have Haley's room, which could be for Anna, which is criminally large.
00:20:00You got the gym in the basement.
00:20:05You know it's funny, right?
00:20:07You sold it to me and now I'm trying to sell it back.
00:20:10Yeah, well, I know where all the asbestos is hidden.
00:20:18I just hesitate to leave this place.
00:20:22You know, after Gary left, we floated around to some shitty situations,
00:20:28and this is the first place that's felt like home.
00:20:35I get it.
00:20:37I do.
00:20:48Hey.
00:21:00Hey, birthday girl.
00:21:01Want to get on my phone?
00:21:03Hi.
00:21:16Haley, do you want to join your birthday party?
00:21:18Sorry, um, it's just, it's just my mom checking in on us.
00:21:21Oh.
00:21:22Yeah, it's him and her, like, my relationship goals.
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:26Love you.
00:21:27You too.
00:21:28You too.
00:21:29What kind of shit is that?
00:21:30What do you mean?
00:21:31You too?
00:21:32I love you.
00:21:33That's what I thought.
00:21:47You going to call him dad?
00:21:50No, I think that ship sailed a long time ago.
00:21:53Did your dad ever call you on your birthday?
00:21:55Uh, nope. I haven't spoken to him since I was four, but I'm not interested.
00:21:59It's pretty much the only time my dad calls me.
00:22:29Hey.
00:22:30Hey.
00:22:32Hey.
00:22:59Hey.
00:23:25Eric.
00:23:29Eric.
00:23:59Eric.
00:24:14Mom?
00:24:17Mom?
00:24:22Mom?
00:24:29Ah!
00:24:33Oh my gosh.
00:24:34Sorry.
00:24:36What are you even doing up at this perfectly reasonable hour?
00:24:39I couldn't sleep.
00:24:40Oh, sorry.
00:24:42There's that zucchini muffin you like.
00:24:51So, are you going to be in trouble with me for something?
00:24:55What do you mean?
00:24:56I mean, I'm thinking maybe you got up to something yesterday?
00:25:01What does that mean?
00:25:03Did you guys smoke pot or something?
00:25:05Did we?
00:25:06No.
00:25:07Why?
00:25:08Well, because you hate cake and there's that.
00:25:10That wasn't me.
00:25:12No?
00:25:15That was Britt.
00:25:17She was begging me for more cake. I hope you don't mind.
00:25:20Of course not. Did she like it?
00:25:22You got Britt to eat vegan.
00:25:24Yeah, I did.
00:25:25Yeah, you did.
00:25:27Um, I'm just doing laundry. Do you need anything?
00:25:30Uh, no. I'll do mine later.
00:25:32Okay, and you girls are going to go out later?
00:25:34Mm-hmm.
00:25:35Okay. Have fun. Be careful.
00:25:37Of?
00:25:38I don't know. Bad stuff and people and drugs and any and all bad things that you may encounter.
00:25:44Right.
00:25:45Okay.
00:25:46Bye, baby.
00:25:47Bye.
00:25:54Bye.
00:26:18Oh, my God.
00:26:20Dude, I can't blame you for expanding your horizon. These boys are still boys, you know?
00:26:25Like, they're the same ones when you were in fifth grade. They're just tall.
00:26:27Stop.
00:26:28Okay, what are you guys not telling me?
00:26:30What's up, Bernardo?
00:26:31I'm more messy.
00:26:32Ah, I see it.
00:26:34Hey, you want to do something?
00:26:35Like what?
00:26:37I don't know. 7-Eleven?
00:26:42Come on.
00:26:44Screw it. Let's do something.
00:26:46Okay.
00:26:49Dude. I mean, he's Neil deGrasse Tyson.
00:26:52Yeah, I know.
00:26:53He's a nice guy, don't you think?
00:26:56Eric showed up.
00:26:57What?
00:26:58Stella?
00:26:59No, he didn't. Have you seen this?
00:27:00On my birthday.
00:27:01What did you guys do?
00:27:02I don't know. We hung out.
00:27:04You hung out?
00:27:06You can't stop smiling.
00:27:08I never met anyone like him.
00:27:11Anna, he just gets me.
00:27:13Okay, you should be careful. You don't really know this guy.
00:27:16I think I do.
00:27:18Plus, he's kind of old.
00:27:19He's not that old.
00:27:22So, is this going to be like a whole thing?
00:27:24No.
00:27:26Me?
00:27:27Hey, you guys coming or what?
00:27:29Yeah!
00:27:30Uh, I'll catch up.
00:27:35Send no nudes, dude.
00:27:36It's extortion. It's real.
00:27:38My mom made me watch a whole show.
00:27:40Send no nudes, dude.
00:27:41It's extortion. It's real.
00:27:42My mom made me watch a whole TED talk about it. It's crazy.
00:27:44Yeah, okay.
00:27:45Okay?
00:27:47Jesus Christ, where are you?
00:27:50Um, I don't know.
00:27:54Sad truck stop.
00:27:55Somewhere.
00:27:57I've been calling you since last night.
00:28:01Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:28:05You're going home?
00:28:08Yeah.
00:28:10I came home and you weren't there.
00:28:13Yeah, and it was weird as shit being there with your mom.
00:28:19No, I know. But, Ann, it was too weird.
00:28:21Like...
00:28:24I heard her get in the shower and I got out of there.
00:28:28You ate a piece of cake.
00:28:31Oh, yeah.
00:28:33On your birthday.
00:28:35You left the plate out and my mom found it?
00:28:38Oh, shit.
00:28:39I'm so sorry.
00:28:42It's not funny. I mean, it's funny, but it's not. I'm sorry.
00:28:46Yeah, you know you should be sorry, you psycho.
00:28:55You, Anna, are the very best thing that happened to me in a long time.
00:29:09I'll call you later?
00:29:12Probably.
00:29:14Okay, cool.
00:29:18Alright, bye.
00:29:20Bye.
00:29:22Bye.
00:29:40Hey.
00:29:41Hey, come check this out.
00:29:45Is this the place?
00:29:46Yeah, it's one of them.
00:29:47Okay, so the ceremony would be here and then they have the pole barn as a weather backup.
00:29:51And you can have the fire pit outside and the band out there.
00:29:55Awesome.
00:29:56Yeah, I think this is the one.
00:29:58Cool.
00:29:59Yeah.
00:30:00Do you want to see the other one?
00:30:04I think it's fair to say this is only interesting to us.
00:30:17Oh, shit.
00:30:47Look at you, mama.
00:30:50It's cute, right?
00:30:51It's very cute.
00:30:57You know what?
00:31:00Tim is lucky to have you.
00:31:03What brings on that random act of kindness?
00:31:07I don't know. I'm just...
00:31:10I'm just glad to see you happy.
00:31:13Thanks, baby. I am glad to be happy.
00:31:19I just always thought there was a part of you that didn't want to let yourself be happy, so...
00:31:25Maybe.
00:31:28But if something makes you happy, you should honor that, right?
00:31:35I think so, yes.
00:31:42Okay.
00:31:57Sorry, I had hair issues.
00:31:58No worries.
00:32:00Does it look okay?
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:12Okay.
00:32:36I have a boyfriend.
00:32:39Oh, wow. Okay.
00:32:41Yeah, big news. I know.
00:32:44That's cool.
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:47You didn't say anything.
00:32:48I am now.
00:32:51Denny?
00:32:52Nope.
00:32:55Do I know him?
00:32:57He doesn't go to my school.
00:32:59How do you know him?
00:33:04Oh, this is going to sound worse than it is, but we met online.
00:33:09You met on the internet?
00:33:10Yeah.
00:33:13How old is this guy?
00:33:16He's older.
00:33:18How old?
00:33:25Twenties? Mid-twenties?
00:33:28Mid-twenties?
00:33:30I think so, yeah.
00:33:32You can't do that, Anna. You can't do that.
00:33:35I'm too late.
00:33:44I know, I know. I need a better tag.
00:33:57I know I shouldn't have told you.
00:33:59No.
00:34:01I'm sorry.
00:34:02No.
00:34:04I'm glad you did. I am. I just...
00:34:10What?
00:34:15I'm worried about you, Anna.
00:34:18I'm worried you might be in over your head.
00:34:21I'm not in over my head.
00:34:24How do you know?
00:34:27I'm in love.
00:34:29Anna.
00:34:31What?
00:34:33I don't want to keep anything from you anymore.
00:34:36Good. I don't want you to.
00:34:39This has been really stressing me out.
00:34:43I'm sure.
00:34:46And we can figure this out.
00:34:48There's nothing to figure out.
00:34:49There's nothing to figure out.
00:34:59Where... where does he live?
00:35:02Really far away. Like 900 miles.
00:35:07So you guys have never seen each other?
00:35:10No, we have.
00:35:13Did you... are you having sex?
00:35:19No.
00:35:23He comes here?
00:35:25He drives 900 miles to see you?
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:33Where is he... where is he now?
00:35:38He's here, actually.
00:35:41He's outside.
00:35:43He's here?
00:35:45Yeah. He wants to meet you.
00:35:48And I want you to meet him.
00:35:52Are you sure about that?
00:35:55Okay.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:11Nobody's dead yet.
00:36:13It's still early.
00:36:15Come on.
00:36:17Let's go.
00:36:23Hey.
00:36:27Hey.
00:36:29Tim. Eric. Nice to meet you.
00:36:32And that's my mom, Beth.
00:36:36Hey, Beth.
00:36:38Hey.
00:36:44Yeah, this is... yeah.
00:36:46We're taking all this in right now.
00:36:48Sure. I understand.
00:36:50It's a lot of new info.
00:36:52Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry.
00:36:59Yeah.
00:37:01Look, let me... let me start out by saying
00:37:03I never intended for any of this to happen.
00:37:10We met online.
00:37:12On a poetry board.
00:37:14Yeah. We... we... it was... we were talking poetry.
00:37:17I mean, that's it. I didn't know anything about Anna.
00:37:24Look, really, the truth is we... we fell in love before we even knew it.
00:37:30Mom.
00:37:34Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry.
00:37:37I'm sorry.
00:37:39No. You don't need to be sorry about...
00:37:48Hey.
00:37:54We can handle this.
00:37:56It's a crush.
00:37:57Haley did something similar.
00:37:59I want him out.
00:38:01What?
00:38:03He needs to be out of my house.
00:38:07I think if you make it off limits to Anna, she's just gonna...
00:38:14Get the hell out of my house.
00:38:16No. Mom, no.
00:38:17Get out. Now.
00:38:18Okay.
00:38:19No, it's not okay.
00:38:21No, if he goes, I go.
00:38:23No.
00:38:24Yes, I go with him.
00:38:25Yes, I go with him.
00:38:31Eric, can I talk to you alone for a minute?
00:38:34No.
00:38:35It is Eric, right?
00:38:36No. No.
00:38:37Hey, it's okay.
00:38:38No, it's not okay.
00:38:39It's okay.
00:38:56You look beautiful.
00:39:01What?
00:39:18Hey, come on.
00:39:19Give me a second.
00:39:26That's an interesting question.
00:39:28I don't know. What am I doing?
00:39:31What am I doing?
00:39:35What's going on?
00:39:39Nothing. I just have to go.
00:39:40What did she say to you?
00:39:41She didn't say... I just have to go.
00:39:42What did you say to her?
00:39:43Nothing. Hey, she didn't say anything, okay?
00:39:45There's just nothing to be done right now.
00:39:46We're just stuck. That's it.
00:39:47I don't want you to go.
00:39:48Everybody needs a little break.
00:39:50I'll come with you.
00:39:51No, Anna.
00:39:52No, that's right. This isn't the way to do this.
00:39:55Okay.
00:39:56I'll be back.
00:39:59Okay?
00:40:00I promise.
00:40:07Look, I know that this is hard for you.
00:40:12I'm sorry.
00:40:16But we felt like this was the right thing to do.
00:40:22Getting it out in the open.
00:40:25It'll be okay.
00:40:32I'll talk to you soon, okay?
00:40:33Go.
00:40:37It's gonna be okay.
00:40:47What did you say to him?
00:40:48Anna, take it easy.
00:40:49Just stay out of it!
00:40:54Okay.
00:41:25This will pass.
00:41:27She has a crush.
00:41:28They had sex.
00:41:31When?
00:41:33I don't know.
00:41:34Her birthday or just after.
00:41:36He waited until she was 17.
00:41:38He knew what he was doing.
00:41:41He knew exactly what he was doing.
00:41:46I don't know.
00:41:48I don't know.
00:41:49I don't know.
00:41:50I don't know.
00:41:51I don't know.
00:41:52I don't know.
00:41:54That's a hell of a lot of calculation.
00:41:56Yes, it is.
00:41:58What if that's not the case?
00:42:00It is the case.
00:42:01How do you know?
00:42:03Because I know, Tim.
00:42:06Okay.
00:42:08I never want to see that man again.
00:42:21Hey.
00:42:24We got this, okay?
00:42:27We got this together.
00:42:29I know it seems like a big deal right now, but...
00:42:32We got this.
00:42:34Okay?
00:42:41Are you okay?
00:42:54We made you one of your protein smoothies.
00:42:57Extra mango.
00:43:00Anna, please.
00:43:05I don't want you to get hurt.
00:43:06You understand that, right?
00:43:10Then why are you hurting me?
00:43:12Anna.
00:43:14Jesus Christ.
00:43:17Did you really think that your mom and her cop fiancé
00:43:19were just going to grab your man boyfriend in for a big group hug when they met, or what?
00:43:23No, but I didn't think she'd go as crazy as she did.
00:43:25It surprised the shit out of me.
00:43:29So, what are you going to do?
00:43:31Um...
00:43:32Eric won't call me back.
00:43:34Yeah, maybe his future father-in-law cop freaked him out a little bit.
00:43:38No, trust me.
00:43:39My mom was way more terrifying.
00:43:42Look, maybe it's for the best, you know?
00:43:44No, it's not, Britt.
00:43:45Don't say that.
00:43:47Okay?
00:43:49She's not going to win this one.
00:43:53Okay.
00:43:57I think we look good in it.
00:43:59I mean, it's stunning.
00:44:02Thank you.
00:44:03And if you decide you want to make an offer, just give me a call, or...
00:44:06Okay.
00:44:07Thank you so much.
00:44:08Thank you. Bye-bye.
00:44:09Bye, guys.
00:44:19Jesus.
00:44:21Sorry.
00:44:25I thought you heard the door.
00:44:30You can't be here.
00:44:32Well, I mean...
00:44:34Sign off.
00:44:35Francis' open house.
00:44:38I'm sorry.
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I'm sorry.
00:44:44I'm sorry.
00:44:45I'm sorry.
00:44:46I'm sorry.
00:44:49I'm sorry.
00:44:55It's weird to see you do something other than teaching.
00:45:00Jesse.
00:45:06I'll see you in a little bit.
00:45:09What?
00:45:10Those are the last words that you ever said to me.
00:45:15I don't remember.
00:45:19I do.
00:45:21I guess I just didn't realize that a little bit can mean 12 years.
00:45:24We couldn't talk.
00:45:26Why?
00:45:27What was stopping us?
00:45:29Well, your parents, my husband, attorneys, everyone.
00:45:35Yeah, but what they said didn't matter.
00:45:39What you said did.
00:45:44And then I'll see you in a little bit, and...
00:45:47What? Nothing.
00:45:49For 12 years, until I seek you out.
00:45:52Via my daughter.
00:45:57Well, I mean, that just happened.
00:45:59Oh, you just happened to seek me out on the internet, run into her, and somehow just end up, whoops, falling in love with my child?
00:46:11She's an amazing person.
00:46:12But I'm sure you already know that.
00:46:18Whatever you think you have with Anna, it's over.
00:46:21You're going to ruin that, too?
00:46:22She's 16.
00:46:23She's 17.
00:46:26And that's your argument?
00:46:29That she's too young?
00:46:30This is different.
00:46:31Why?
00:46:33Because she's a girl.
00:46:34No.
00:46:36The difference is, and this is a huge difference, is not that she's 16.
00:46:42Nothing ever happened between you and me.
00:46:49What do you...
00:46:53What do you mean?
00:46:54This isn't...
00:46:55What do you mean nothing happened?
00:46:56Something happened.
00:46:57Just not what you think, not what you told the school.
00:46:59How can you even say that?
00:47:00Because it's the truth.
00:47:03I know this might be hard for you to hear, but it's important that you hear it.
00:47:09We were close. Too close.
00:47:11That's on me. I was the adult, and I should have known better, but...
00:47:15But what?
00:47:19This thing happens. Happens sometimes, Jesse.
00:47:24People want things to be a certain way, and so they begin to believe that it's true.
00:47:38Hold on.
00:47:39Particularly when you're young, and there's nothing wrong with that.
00:47:43You know, I think that goes both ways, too.
00:47:46What do you mean?
00:47:49That some people don't want to remember something, so they block it out.
00:47:53I hear about that, too.
00:47:56It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
00:48:00Jesse.
00:48:01Beth.
00:48:05I had always hoped that you found some help.
00:48:10And I'm sorry that no one ever stepped in to help you.
00:48:17You need to go home.
00:48:19I don't have a home.
00:48:20Well, I do, and I don't ever want to see you near it again.
00:48:25Move away from the door.
00:48:26Come on.
00:48:39Sorry.
00:48:41I should probably move that.
00:48:43Please, Jesse.
00:48:46Hey, God's perfect.
00:48:47Do you want to tell him everything, or should I?
00:48:51I mean this in the most caring way possible.
00:48:54You need to speak with someone.
00:48:55Yeah.
00:48:56You.
00:48:59Everything okay?
00:49:01Can you please just move your car?
00:49:04Hey, Beth.
00:49:05When you see Anna, tell her that nothing happened, okay?
00:49:10That there is no love between us, that it's just her overly active imagination,
00:49:14that it's just some sort of psychotic wish fulfillment at work.
00:49:16Can you tell her that for me?
00:49:17Please.
00:49:18Get some help.
00:49:19You want to help me?
00:49:21Tell the truth.
00:49:22What truth?
00:49:23That you were in love with me as much as I was in love with you.
00:49:26I want to hear you say it out loud.
00:49:29Say it!
00:49:30Okay.
00:49:33Let's think about this for a second.
00:49:40There's two ways this could go.
00:49:42You want to know what they are?
00:49:44Sure.
00:49:45They could handcuff you, arrest you, trespassing, maybe resisting arrest,
00:49:49haul you off to jail, hand you off to my real good buddies down there.
00:49:52It's not my favorite way.
00:49:54It's inefficient for both you and me.
00:49:58You want to know the second way?
00:50:01I'm guessing you do, so here it is.
00:50:03Get in your truck.
00:50:04You go home.
00:50:06All the way home.
00:50:08And you never come back.
00:50:12How do I know this plays out?
00:50:14Because I have your plates.
00:50:16I have everything about you.
00:50:17I know you.
00:50:18I got you.
00:50:22So yeah, what do you think?
00:50:25Option two?
00:50:30Yep.
00:50:33Yeah, that's what I would do too.
00:50:35Smart.
00:50:39I get it.
00:50:45You're not the first person to have used a power over me.
00:50:49Hi Beth.
00:50:51Hey Eric.
00:50:53What do you think?
00:50:56You think this is over?
00:50:57This whole messed up thing that you're doing here?
00:51:00You think it's done?
00:51:04Yeah.
00:51:06Yeah, I do.
00:51:09Me too.
00:51:18Get in the truck.
00:51:49I was embarrassed.
00:51:58Okay.
00:52:00And?
00:52:06I was embarrassed, so I didn't say anything.
00:52:13I'm sorry.
00:52:16I'm sorry.
00:52:19Well, maybe now is a pretty good time to start talking.
00:52:31His name is Jesse, first off.
00:52:37He was a student of mine at the academy.
00:52:43Okay.
00:52:45I never wanted to have to tell you this.
00:52:48Jesus, Beth.
00:52:50Spit it out.
00:52:52There was a scandal.
00:52:56Or a near scandal.
00:53:00I was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with him.
00:53:07Yeah.
00:53:08A sexual relationship.
00:53:14I took him under my wing.
00:53:16Too much.
00:53:21He developed these feelings for me.
00:53:29Okay.
00:53:30And he ended up creating this fiction.
00:53:37But I bear some other responsibility too.
00:53:40He's right.
00:53:42It should have never been personal.
00:53:44We should have never...
00:53:48gotten close.
00:53:51Okay, okay.
00:54:14Okay.
00:54:25No prior arrests?
00:54:27Nothing.
00:54:28Looks like he lives in an apartment that his parents own.
00:54:30Not in school.
00:54:31I'm not even sure he has a job.
00:54:33Hmm.
00:54:35Alright, let's keep an eye out for those tags, understood?
00:54:37Absolutely.
00:54:44Hey.
00:54:46We need to talk.
00:54:48What is there to say?
00:54:52I owe you a huge apology.
00:54:56There's things I haven't told you.
00:54:59A lot of things.
00:55:03So he knew who I was when we started talking online?
00:55:09I can only assume that he was looking for me.
00:55:12He came across you and...
00:55:15decided to use you to get to me, I guess.
00:55:21I'm so sorry, honey.
00:55:28Why didn't you say anything?
00:55:33I saw him there and I froze.
00:55:37I panicked.
00:55:39And it immediately brought me back to that time when you were four years old
00:55:42and I let this kid get too close to me.
00:55:46You should have told me.
00:55:54I was embarrassed and just sick
00:55:58that I had brought this heartache on you.
00:56:00Anna!
00:56:01Mom, just please?
00:56:03Anna!
00:56:04Mom, just please?
00:56:34Mom, just please?
00:56:55I signed a patrol card to your street.
00:56:58Keeping an eye on you and Anna.
00:57:00Good.
00:57:01How's Anna?
00:57:04Distant.
00:57:08Yeah, she'll be alright.
00:57:11Yes, eventually.
00:57:16I do have a bit of other news.
00:57:20What?
00:57:22The caterer said they could do the poppy seed ham biscuits after all.
00:57:34Okay.
00:57:48I'm in.
00:57:54Hey, want some dinner, honey?
00:57:57No.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:18Okay, you gotta get out of your head.
00:58:20And do something dumb and fun.
00:58:24Remember how you hounded me
00:58:26after Jake pulled that shit that he pulled on me?
00:58:29I'm here to hound you back.
00:58:31I just don't get it.
00:58:34Well, there's nothing to get, really.
00:58:37You just landed a psychopath.
00:58:39Or a psychopath landed me, which makes me an idiot.
00:58:42The last thing you are is an idiot.
00:58:45Let's just focus on the fact
00:58:47that you just dodged a big fat bullet.
00:59:01No!
00:59:12No!
00:59:13No!
00:59:14No!
00:59:15No!
00:59:16No!
00:59:31No!
00:59:32No!
00:59:33No!
00:59:34No!
00:59:35No!
00:59:36No!
00:59:37No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:39No!
00:59:40No!
00:59:41No!
00:59:42No!
00:59:43No!
00:59:44No!
00:59:45No!
00:59:46No!
00:59:47No!
00:59:48No!
00:59:49No!
00:59:50No!
00:59:51No!
00:59:52No!
00:59:53No!
00:59:54No!
00:59:55No!
00:59:56No!
00:59:57No!
00:59:58No!
00:59:59No!
01:00:00No!
01:00:01No!
01:00:02No!
01:00:03No!
01:00:04No!
01:00:05No!
01:00:06No!
01:00:07No!
01:00:09OK.
01:00:19I'm sorry.
01:00:30Wow, you're killing it.
01:00:38Thanks.
01:00:39You heading out?
01:00:40Uh, yeah, I'm gonna pick up Britt a little before the party.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:45Okay.
01:00:46I love you, Mom.
01:00:55I love you too, baby.
01:00:58I love you too.
01:01:08They're trying to get me to test the wine.
01:01:19Uh-oh.
01:01:20Come on, the caterers are already setting up.
01:01:25Hey, this is your last chance to bail.
01:01:30We'd only owe for the catering.
01:01:33Not a chance.
01:01:35Shit, I need you to zip me up.
01:01:37I gotta go.
01:01:38The florist is here.
01:01:39Love you.
01:01:40You too.
01:01:41Anna?
01:01:44Is that you?
01:01:45Hey, can you come zip me up?
01:01:49Sure.
01:01:52Don't call your cop fiance.
01:01:55Please, just give me a second.
01:01:56You cannot be here.
01:01:58And then I'll leave.
01:02:00They're expecting me any minute.
01:02:03Do you know why I'm here?
01:02:06You've put me through enough, Jesse.
01:02:08So no, I don't know, and I just can't care anymore.
01:02:15I think you will, though.
01:02:17I really do.
01:02:21First things first, I'm here for Anna.
01:02:24You can forget that.
01:02:26Yeah?
01:02:27She's not here, and she will never go anywhere with you.
01:02:32No?
01:02:34She knows who you are, Jesse.
01:02:36She knows everything.
01:02:41You're right about that.
01:02:46Maybe you should check her room.
01:03:16So maybe you care a little now?
01:03:45What do you want from me?
01:03:51No one believed me.
01:03:57Not even my dad.
01:04:01My mom, I think she wanted to, but mostly I think she just wanted it to go away.
01:04:10The embarrassment to go away.
01:04:14For, for the school.
01:04:18And you, the only person I ever trusted, you, you turned on me too.
01:04:25I heard what you said about me.
01:04:28Troubled, delusional, I think were your words of choice.
01:04:32Jesse, no.
01:04:35And then our phone call.
01:04:39Do you remember?
01:04:42No.
01:04:43I'll see you in a little bit.
01:04:51And I never heard another word from you again.
01:04:55Jesse, this is not something that we can settle now.
01:05:00I tried to kill myself.
01:05:09I don't know what happened.
01:05:13I mean, I failed, obviously.
01:05:19Jesse.
01:05:21But to have you call me a liar.
01:05:28We can't do this.
01:05:30Just the two of us.
01:05:32We need to talk to someone.
01:05:34Just give me my phone.
01:05:36I don't need to talk to someone, Beth.
01:05:38I need to talk to you.
01:05:41But since I've been here, I...
01:05:46What, Jesse?
01:05:50Can I show you something?
01:06:07Please?
01:06:23Your...
01:06:28This was that year.
01:06:29This was spring of that year.
01:06:33Yes.
01:06:34I mean, your hair is...
01:06:37Your hair is short.
01:06:40Yeah, I cut it over the holidays and kept it short.
01:06:49Because I could not be more perfectly sure that your hair was long that spring.
01:06:55I could not be more sure.
01:06:56I mean, I remember specific occasions.
01:07:00I remember your hair.
01:07:01I remember your face.
01:07:05But here you are.
01:07:06You're in this picture, and...
01:07:12It was short then.
01:07:15Why are you feeling, like, messed up about all of this right now?
01:07:26I mean, what, did I just want it so bad?
01:07:29Did I want it so bad that I made it up?
01:07:32You know, I mean, like...
01:07:34It happens, Jesse. It's okay.
01:07:36And everything that I've done since?
01:07:38And falling for Anna now?
01:07:39I mean, Jesus Christ!
01:07:42Because if that's the case, Beth, then...
01:07:45Then what?
01:07:46Then I'm a fucking idiot!
01:07:51Then I'm, like, delusional!
01:07:53I'm, like, what everybody says I am!
01:07:55I'm wrong!
01:07:56I'm a liar!
01:07:57Like, all of these years, like, what...
01:07:59What is that?!
01:08:03I ruined everything!
01:08:04I ruined everything!
01:08:05I ruined your life!
01:08:07I mean, I know how much you love teaching, and I ruined that!
01:08:10And I hate myself for doing that!
01:08:14Oh, my God!
01:08:17Oh!
01:08:24I got what I deserved.
01:08:46Ugh!
01:08:51Ugh!
01:09:00It's funny.
01:09:04You're looking at this photo as proof of a truth.
01:09:10All I see is a lie.
01:09:18We look happy.
01:09:23Carrie was abusive, cheating.
01:09:30This photo's bullshit.
01:09:34I wasn't a capable mother.
01:09:39I just wasn't.
01:09:48And then that night in the car,
01:09:51if I had told the truth, I would have gone to prison.
01:09:58They would have taken Anna from me.
01:10:02You get that right?
01:10:04What truth?
01:10:08That I had fallen in love with you.
01:10:12Yes.
01:10:18You were in love with me.
01:10:21It was wrong.
01:10:29Maybe not the feelings, but the acting on them.
01:10:34What do you mean?
01:10:39The sex, Jesse.
01:10:45What happened in the car.
01:10:55I made a mistake.
01:11:03Me.
01:11:06I was mistaken.
01:11:07I wish I could take it all back.
01:11:12I wish.
01:11:15I wish I could undo it all.
01:11:19See, that's the messed up thing.
01:11:21I don't...
01:11:24I don't wish that at all.
01:11:38No, it's...
01:11:42Thank you.
01:11:43It's...
01:11:57Beth.
01:12:03Do you think it's...
01:12:05Possible, maybe?
01:12:07What?
01:12:13Maybe you still have feelings, right?
01:12:17No.
01:12:20Not like that.
01:12:24Yeah, Beth.
01:12:28And what are you doing to her?
01:12:31Beth.
01:12:33We're over.
01:12:48I know it's just a word at this point.
01:12:55But I am...
01:12:59So sorry.
01:13:02Me too.
01:13:18I'm sorry I had to record this conversation.
01:13:24It happens to be one of those states with generous statute of limitations.
01:13:31This isn't about ruining your life.
01:13:36It's about fixing mine.
01:13:39And will this...
01:13:42Fix you?
01:13:48In a way, I think it will.
01:13:52You know, what I've...
01:13:54What I've always wanted is just...
01:14:00Just to be acknowledged.
01:14:06And you deserve to be acknowledged.
01:14:18Thank you.
01:14:20Just...
01:14:21Just what?
01:14:24Please don't do this.
01:14:29Take that.
01:14:31Take me.
01:14:32Take my words.
01:14:33But please just don't take her.
01:14:37He's not taking me anywhere.
01:14:40I'm going with him.
01:14:42There's a difference.
01:14:46Are you okay?
01:14:54Yeah.
01:14:59I thought I said pack light.
01:15:02Sorry.
01:15:08We gotta go.
01:15:11It's not so interesting.
01:15:34We gotta go.
01:15:44You should forgive her.
01:15:50I should forgive her?
01:15:52Yes.
01:15:54Because that's what you told me this is all about.
01:15:58Not vengeance.
01:16:00Moving forward.
01:16:04So we can all move forward.
01:16:09Like you said.
01:16:13That is what we're doing, right?
01:16:43I'll go get the car.
01:16:46Um...
01:16:50I'm parked at the dead end.
01:16:54Apparently the cops drive down every 20 minutes.
01:16:57Okay.
01:17:03Just be ready, okay?
01:17:05Anna.
01:17:07Yeah?
01:17:11I'll see you in a little bit.
01:17:34Hey.
01:17:48I know what you're thinking.
01:17:52You think I'm making a huge mistake.
01:17:56That I'm abandoning you, but...
01:17:59I don't think you are, no.
01:18:03Why not?
01:18:07Because I don't think he's coming back.
01:18:12You're wrong.
01:18:16Anna!
01:18:42Anna!
01:18:45Anna!
01:18:48Anna!
01:19:08Anna!
01:19:37I'm so sorry, baby.
01:20:07There's my lady.
01:20:26We should go in.
01:20:33I know.
01:20:42Thank you.
01:20:46For what?
01:20:52For saving me back there.
01:21:00The only thing I saved you from is prison.
01:21:07Fix your hair.
01:21:14It's your party.
01:21:16Smile.
01:21:45Yeah.
01:21:46Yeah.
01:21:47Yeah.
01:21:48Yeah.
01:21:49Yeah.
01:21:50Yeah.
01:21:52Yeah.
01:21:53Yeah.
01:21:54Yeah.

01:22:06Yeah.
01:22:07Yeah.
01:22:08Yeah.
01:22:09Yeah.
01:22:10Yeah.
