I mean, it was
all so last minute,

but she had nowhere to go,
so of course, I offered.

What happened?

Her and her boyfriend
got into this big fight.

You know, Rex. And he
kicked her out.

Men. So I guess she'll
be here for a while, hey?

Well, until the baby
comes, at least,

and she gets back on
her feet again.

You have always been such
a good friend to her.

Well, she was good
to me in high school,

and besides, we have the room.
And she's been so helpful

- with Tanner.
- Oh, good.

Oh, hi. Speak of the
devil.

How you feeling, Joslyn?

- Oh, not bad, Dolly.
- Oh.

Just taking it
one day at a time.

I brought these
out for the kids.

Thank you.

Well, you look like you're
just about ready to pop.

Yeah. Yeah. It's
getting close.

Is it a boy or a girl?

- I'll be right back.
- I'm keeping that a surprise.

Yeah, the property is huge,

and we've got some serious
interest from Asia.

Just putting the pieces
of the deal together now.

Hey, honey! Sorry
to interrupt.

Um, table's all set.
Are the burgers almost done?

There's my baby.

Mm. We are firing on
all cylinders.

I just need some cheese.

You read my mind.

Just only put it
on half of it, alright?

- I'll go get Tanner.
- Yes, ma'am.

Sounds like I should
get into real estate, Mike.

- Make some better coin.
- Ah, I don't know, Bill.

You got to work it 24/7.

I've been doing it
for five years,

and it's just starting
to heat up now.

Tanner! Food's ready.

Hey! Hey, hey,
what's wrong, buddy?

Asher won't let me play
with them. He's mean.

Oh. What does Teddy
have to say about it?

Don't worry. I'll
be your best friend.

And remember, always
be a brave bear.

See? You always have Teddy
to play with, don't you?

Alright. Let's go
get some food,

and then maybe we can
play Hide and Seek after?

Yeah? Okay. Great.

- Daddy!
- Ah, hey! There's my boy!

Come
here. Oh, son,

you get better looking every
day, don't you?

Hey, Tanner,

why don't you show these boys
our birthmark, huh?

Isn't
that wild? We all got it.

Look at this. Got that
from my dad, my granddad.

You can always tell a Johnson
boy, because we all got it.

- Ain't that right?
- Okay, men,

enough showing off.

Come on. The food's
getting cold.

That's right. Let's
eat. You want a hot dog?

You look so happy, Paige.

It's wonderful to see.

I really am.

Thanks for letting me stay.

I wouldn't have
you anywhere else.

Lovely party, darling.

Great food.

- It's the salads.
- Oh.

They are always a hit.

I love you. I'll
see you next week.

See you next week, darling.

Boys! Mwah! Mwah!

You're the best, Grandma!

Oh, stop it, you old charmer.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Hi. Thanks.
- Hey, come on.

You guys don't want
to take us Johnson on?

Nah, everyone's beat.

Some other time.

Come on, kids.

Thanks for coming.

- You see, Tanner?
- Thank you.

Most people lack stamina.

They're not willing to go the
extra mile to succeed,

but not us. You're going
to grow up to be a winner,

just like your
dad. Right, buddy?

Yeah!

Hey. There's a little more
to do out here,

but I'll finish
up washing up inside.

Thank you, Joslyn.

Well, I think that
was a success.

You did great, babe.

Oh.

Whoa. Whoa. Slow down.

Slow down? Me?

I got to hit the can.

Help Mom with the
dishes, okay, buddy?

No. You...

It's okay, sweetie.
I'll do it.

Why don't you go
get ready for bed, okay?

Will you and Daddy
read me a story?

Of course. Go.

Jos, do you know where the
garbage bags are?

Jos?

Look. I don't know
what the heck you think

you're doing here, but I
want you out of here.

You are not going
to mess this up for me.

You can't be here.

Tomorrow, I want you
out of here!

Guys, what's going on?

Nothing.

Doesn't look like
nothing. She's upset.

I don't know why you
brought her here.

Because she's my best friend
and has nowhere to go,

especially with the baby coming.

How is that our problem?

What's the issue?

She helps out around
the house. I mean,

you're never
home anymore with work.

I... I like
having her here.

Seriously? She had to have done
something to get kicked out.

I don't trust her.

Okay? I don't trust
her with Tanner.

You should have
talked to me first.

Well... she's like
a sister to me.

I... I didn't think
you would mind.

Whatever.

W-Wait. Where are
you going?

I'm going to Lucy's.

A bar, Michael?
Really?

- I have a meeting.
- Now?

These meetings pay
for this house, your car,

put food on the table.

You're... you're never home
anymore, and I just...

It's Sunday. You've
been drinking.

Excuse me?

My clients love me, Paige.

They call, I go. That's the gig.

You don't like it, why
don't you get a job?

Then we can talk.

Daddy, Daddy!

Oh, hey, look
at this handsome fella, huh?

Tanner, why don't you go get
ready for school, okay?

Be at the door in five minutes.

Must have been some meeting.

Paige, I'm sorry.

Yeah?

For what? For what
you said to me last night?

Or for coming
home reeking of booze?

I said I'm sorry.

What's going on, Mike?

This is... this
is starting to feel

like more than just business.

It... feels like you
don't want to be here.

Not now, babe.

Well, what were you
doing all night?

Don't question me, Paige, okay?
I said I was sorry.

- Excuse me?
- I told you not to question me!

Let's go, buddy.

Don't worry about Daddy.

You're going to have a great
day today, sweetie, okay?

Alright. I'll pick
you up after school.

Love you!

WoAlright. Have fun.

Hello?

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, darling.

Is something wrong?

Yeah. I... I don't know
what to do.

Hey.

What's going on, Jos?

Paige, I don't want to cause
problems in your home.

What problems, Jos?

- I can just go.
- No! Just tell me

what you were talking about.

I feel like I'm the
only person who doesn't know

what's going on in my home!

No, you're not leaving!

Tell me what that was
all about, please!

- Paige, I don't...
- What was he saying to you?

Ah!

Jos?

Okay. Okay. No,
no, no. It's okay.

I think the baby
might be coming, okay?

No, no. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.

- Ah!
- Okay. Okay. Can you walk?

Yeah. Okay. Okay. We're
going to go to the hospital.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Hey, Mom. Can you pick up
Tanner from school

and give him dinner at home?

Yeah. No. I have no
idea where Michael is.

He's not answering his phone.

I just don't want her to go
through this alone.

Mrs. Johnson?

Oh. Mom, I'll call
you back, okay?

Hey. Is everything alright?

Yeah. Joslyn's still
in labor.

Uh, is the father here?

No. No. Um, uh, for
all intents and purposes...

- I am the father.
- Okay.

Has, uh... has Joslyn been
under a lot of stress lately?

Yeah. You could...
You could say that. Yeah.

The baby's a little premature,

but we are monitoring them
both carefully.

There is no need to worry.

She did ask if you could wait.

Yes. Yes.

Okay. I guess...

Hey, Mom.
You with Tanner?

I just got him into bed.

I got to call you back.

- How is she?
- Joslyn did great.

She had a beautiful baby boy.

Ah.

A boy, huh?

Yeah. It was long,

but she did pretty
well, thank goodness.

They're both sleeping now.

You coming home, then?

They need to keep her

for observation for a few days,

so I'm going to stay here,

just in case she needs anything.

That's fine, Paige.

I'll take care of things
around the house,

and I'll get Tanner to school.

You just stay as long you need.

Thanks, Dolly, but I
think I can handle it.

Where were you today
when I called?

Mom had to go pick up Tanner.

- I was working.
- So you turn your phone off?

Um, it's alright, Paige.
We've handled it.

So, they're coming back
with you, are they?

Where would you like them
to go, Michael?

Back to her ex's
would be a good start.

Well, that's not happening.

Now, you two, that's enough.

Uh, Paige,

I'll bring by your clothes and
things tomorrow, okay?

Thanks, Mom.

Look at the little baby.

- Momma, Momma!
- Hi, buddy!

Oh! Oh, I missed
you so much.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I want to see the baby.

Yeah. Okay. You
have to be quiet, though,

Tanner, okay? He's sleeping.

Okay. Just give them
some space, okay?

Auntie Joslyn is
tired. She needs rest.

Tanner, let's go
throw the ball out back.

Yay!

Oh. I'll take this.

Go get settled in.

I'll get the rest of
the stuff from the car.

Oh. He's perfect.

He's the most
beautiful thing I've ever seen

and by far the best
thing I've ever done.

I want to give him
the life I never had.

You're going to be
a wonderful mom, Jos.

I'm scared.

I don't have anything, Paige!

When Rex kicked me out, I
took a suitcase, and I left.

I maxed all my
cards out on motels.

I have nothing.

I need to get a job,
find us a home.

No, no. Don't worry about
that right now, okay?

We always thought we
would have another kid,

so we kept all of
Tanner's baby stuff.

So you're fine for
a little while, okay?

For now, just focus
on this moment

and enjoying this
beautiful baby boy.

Have you decided

what you want to name him yet?

Sean.

- After my dad.
- Oh, Sean.

Hi, Sean.

Okay. You need rest.

I'll be right upstairs.
If you need anything,

just call, okay?

Oh, he's got me tackled! Oh!

You got me good, buddy.

I want her out of the house.

What?

I want her gone.

We can't just kick her
out on the street.

Well, I've had enough, Paige.

We can't afford this.

I let you two play
house around here for a while,

but now that the baby's
here, we're done.

- No.
- Excuse me?

She has a newborn, Mike.

No family. I'm
all that she has.

I... I can't just kick her out.

You know, ever since
that leech moved in here,

you been talking back to me.

Now, I'm starting to feel
like all this hard work I do

for this family
is going unnoticed

while you two ladies
are chowing down on my food

- while I pay the bills.
- Okay. Okay. Okay. Just...

I'm sorry.

Let's just give her some notice.

Can she have until
the end of the week?

Don't test my patience, Paige.

Hey, come here, buddy!

Hey, hon.

Oh, are... are you alright?

Oh, baby! Oh.

Come on. Let's
get you some tea.

Ugh. I don't know.

Something is wrong, Mom.

I mean, Michael is not himself.

He's always at work. I
mean, he's distant.

He's totally disconnected.

Have you talked to him about it?

Yes, and every time I
do, he just lashes out!

I've never seen
him get so angry.

Paige, he hasn't gotten
physical, has he?

No, no.

No, but I'm scared, Mom.

Our home just doesn't feel
the same anymore.

You think he's having an affair?

I mean... he goes
out a lot at night,

but I don't think so.

I think I'd be able to tell.

I think he might just
be stressed out about work.

Oh. The deal.

The deal.

You know what? He says
everything will be

finalized soon and the
money's going to be amazing

and we'll finally
get out of debt

and everything can go
back to normal.

Careful, honey, because
once things change,

they very rarely go back
to the way they were.

Hey. Is the baby asleep?

Aw, thank you, Paige.

Ugh. I feel like
such a burden.

No, no. I'm
happy to help.

Look. I, um, I actually need to
talk to you about something.

What's up?

I... I don't know
what's going on with Michael,

but he's... he's just been
really stressed out about work,

and... and money's
been tight for a while now.

So, um...
I feel like

you might need to move out soon.

I'll try to hold off as
long as possible,

but he can just be
so bullheaded, you know?

I just...

Do you have anywhere
else you could go?

I'll figure something out.

Maybe we can ask my mom. I
mean, she doesn't have

a ton of space, but you could
always sleep on the couch.

How did I get into this mess?

I'm going to have to go
back to bartending

and... and leaving my
baby with strangers at night!

I don't want that!

Joslyn, it's going
to be okay, alright?

I'm not abandoning you.

We'll figure this out together.

Sean.

I know. I know.

What are you doing?

The baby was crying.

You didn't hear him?

Give him back.

I'll put him to bed.

Maybe Sean should stay with us.

What are you talking about?

You know.

He's mine.

Goodnight.

Hey.

Are you... are you okay?

You don't look too good.

I'll be fine.

I just didn't
much sleep last night.

Yeah. No. I didn't sleep
very well, either.

I was thinking
about what you said.

And I think you're right.

It's best I get out of here
sooner rather than later.

I found a women's shelter
in Gilford with a bed available,

and I'll stay there until I
can get my feet on the ground.

Whoa, whoa, Jos. No.

A... a shelter? With a baby?

Yeah. It won't
be so bad.

We just need to do a
little bit of research, okay?

And we're going to find you
somewhere close to here.

Oh, God. You're
exhausted.

How about I take the
little guy upstairs, okay?

And then you can get some sleep.

Really?

- Yes.
- You don't have to.

Don't worry about it, okay?

I got you.

Come on, Sean. Okay.

Oh, I know.

Oh, that's what's wrong.

Oh, no. I know.
I know, Sean.

That's okay.
That's okay. I...

Ow!

How could you?

After everything I did for you?

What? What are you
talking about?

I saw the birthmark, Jos.

Did you think that I
wouldn't see it?

Oh, my gosh. Paige, wait.

No! No. I want you out
of this house.

How could you even stay here?

You... you betrayed me!

You made look like
a fool in my own home!

Oh, my God.

Did you sleep with him here?

Of course not, Paige.
Please listen!

No! No! You have been like my
sister since we were kids,

and now, you have ruined
everything that I care about!

How could you do this to me?

It's not like that, Paige!

I was really drunk, okay?

I didn't know what
was happening!

What?

All I remember is someone
helping me to lie down.

I thought it was Rex,

but... but then he got
kind of aggressive.

I... I promise I didn't know
it was Mike until Sean was born.

No. Mike wouldn't
do something like that.

I tried to confront him,
but he threatened me,

said he wouldn't let
me tear his family apart.

You're lying.

Rex and I hadn't been
having much sex,

so he did the math,
and he figured it out.

That's why he kicked me out!

No. This isn't happening.

I was too afraid
to tell you, Paige.

- You're my best friend.
- No!

I don't believe you.

Mike isn't the man
you think he is.

Hi. I need to speak to
Michael Johnson.

- It's urgent.
- Man: Paige.

What are you doing here?

I need to speak to Michael.

What? What...
What is it, Jeff?

Where's Mike?

He doesn't work here anymore.

What? No.
No.

He's working on a big deal.

He has all these meetings.

He said it's
his biggest one yet.

He left months ago.

Said he had a better gig.

I'm not sure what
he's doing now.

He didn't tell you?

Paige.

What can I get you?

Um, I'll just have
a water, please.

One water coming up.

Can I ask you a question?

Shoot.

Um, my husband comes here
a lot. Do you know him?

Mike? Yeah. He's
in here all the time.

Alone?

He kind of comes and goes
with different people.

What kind of people?

Can't really say.

Do you have a...
A name? Anything?

Look, lady. It's
none of my business.

Please.

Meet me outside.

Tell you, he don't seem like no
real estate broker to me.

Why would you say that?

Mike's been coming in with
some pretty heavy guys lately.

Guys?

Thought you were going to
catch him cheating, didn't you?

I'm afraid what Mike's into...
might be worse than that.

These guys make
some serious deals.

Well, Mike's been working on
this big real estate deal.

Maybe he just went
out on his own.

Those aren't the kind
of deals I'm talking about,

if you catch my drift.

D-Drugs? No.

You don't know your husband
very well, do you, lady?

I hate to give you bad news,

but, uh, he's in pretty deep.

People are even
scared of him now.

The kind of guys
he's associated with

are not the kind of guys
you want to mess with.

Look. I can't say
much more than that...

except... be careful.

Well, just give me a name!

Don't go sniffing around.

You're going to get yourself
in a whole lot of trouble.

Please.

Got a pen?

Yeah. Uh...

Don't be stupid.

Oh, hey, Paige. Uh, Tanner
already left with Mr. Johnson.

He showed up early and
pulled him out of class.

Said it was a surprise.

Oh.

Is everything okay?

Yes. No. Uh,
everything is fine.

Um, did... did he say
where they were going?

Sorry. I was really busy,
and I was finishing up class.

- I didn't think to do...
- Yeah. No, no, no. Of course.

Of course. Um,
thanks, Miss Bailey.

Mike, you didn't tell me

you were getting Tanner today.

Um, can you just pick up?

I want to know
where you guys are.

Call me back.

Mike, why aren't you calling
me back? Where are you?

WoHey, Paige!

Oh!

Oh, thank goodness!

There you are!
Where have you been?

Dad took me to the
movies and the arcade.

- Look at what we won, Mom.
- Oh, wow! Wow!

What a day you must have had!

Oh, you are
so sticky. Okay.

Um, go upstairs and get ready
for bed, okay? It's late.

But wait, Mom.

Listen to your mom, buddy.

Well, that was one
hell of a stunt.

- Stunt?
- Michael, I have been calling

and texting you for hours!

You cannot just take Tanner out
of school and then disappear

and not notify me and
then turn off your phone!

I didn't turn off my phone.

Oh, so you were just ignoring
me. That's even worse!

Come on. We were just
trying to have some fun.

I wanted to celebrate.

- Celebrate?
- Yes, babe.

The deal is moving forward.

I wanted to show Tanner a good
time and give you a break.

I know you need to relax.

To relax? I have
been worried sick!

Okay, okay. I should have
called you. I'm sorry.

Michael, you cannot do this.

It is irresponsible.

What if you had gotten
into an accident

and I didn't know
where you were?

He's my son! I can spend a
day with him if I want!

No! No, you cannot!
Not like that!

Not without notifying me!

Do not stand here in my house

and tell me what I can
do with my own son!

You are not listening to me!

I am a good father!

There is nothing in this world
that I wouldn't do for that boy!

If you ever try to
come between us,

I will...

Paige?

You okay?

My life is ruined.

What?

I just wish that none
of this had ever happened.

I just want things to go back to
the way they were, but...

they can't.

I just...

I just want be happy.

I'm so sorry, Paige.

Don't!

Everything is just
such a... mess.

Mrs. Johnson?

My name is Detective Anderson.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

- No.
- How can I help you today?

Um...

I... I... I have no idea
where to, um, start.

It says here this has something
to do with your husband,

a Michael Johnson.
What seems to be the problem?

Um... my husband isn't
who he says he is.

How do you mean?

He's, um, been lying,

and, uh... I think
he might be involved

in some criminal activity.

I'm just... I'm worried
for our safety.

- You have children?
- Yes. Uh, sorry.

Uh, I have a son, Tanner.
He's, uh, he's seven.

And you don't feel safe
in your home?

Has he ever been violent
with you in the past?

No, no, not... not me, but...

well, I think he might
have been with my friend.

Anderson:
Your friend. Who is that?

Uh, Joslyn Martin.

Uh, she's staying with us
until she can find a place.

And you think that he
may have assaulted her?

She said she doesn't remember.

Um, she was drunk and... and
maybe... something else,

but... I know
she didn't ask for it.

Did she file any charges?

Have any evidence,
something we can go on?

Oh, I mean, the baby
does have the birthmark.

I'm sorry.
I don't follow.

Uh, uh, my... my husband has a
birthmark on his stomach.

He's very proud of it.

Um, all the men
in his family have it.

It's genetic, I guess.

Um, well, the... the baby...

The baby has the...
The birthmark.

So, I guess
that's proof that, um...

that my husband...
is the father.

I see.

I'm sorry. I,
uh... I just...

I really love my husband.

He is a good father.

I just...

I don't recognize him anymore.

What is it you'd
like us to do here?

He's just been acting weird ever
since Joslyn moved in,

and I thought that I would go
and confront him myself.

But when I got to
his office, they told me

that he hadn't been
working there in months.

He had been worried about some
deal, and I... I just assumed

it was real estate, but
now, I'm think that it...

it might be drugs.

And what makes you think that?

Well, he's been doing
business, um, with this man.

Roman D'Mante.

Yeah. What? Do
you know of him?

Have you ever seen
your husband with this man?

Seen any sign of drugs or
suspicious activity

- around your house?
- No. No.

He... he usually goes out
at night, uh, for his meetings.

I'm going to have
to make some inquiries.

If I could get you to wait here,
just for a little while...

Oh, no. I can't. I have to
go pick up my son at school.

You say that you don't feel
like you're in any danger

at home right now?

- No.
- Okay. Go get your boy,

and I will call
you later tonight.

Will you be free
to take a phone call?

Yeah. Yeah.
I think I will.

Alright. Here's my card.

If you feel like you're
in any danger whatsoever,

I want you to call me right
away. Do you understand?

Alright. Take care,
Mrs. Johnson.

Who was that?

Oh, no one.
Just unknown number.

Probably a scam.

When's dinner? I
am starving.

Uh, it's coming up.

No meetings tonight?

No. Staying home to watch
the game with Tanner.

Oh.

Hey, Jos.

Oh, sorry. I didn't want
to disturb you.

No. Wait.

Come here.

Can I hold him?

There he is.

What a handsome boy.

Maybe we should watch
him for the night.

Give you a break, huh?

It's fine. I was
just getting a snack.

No, no. It's okay.

Grab something to eat. Go
downstairs. Relax.

He can watch the game with us.

You look so tired.

Mike, I... I think she's fine.

What's the big deal?

Just babysit him for a while.

You don't mind, do you?

Tanner, it's game
time! Let's go!

Coming, Dad!

It's okay. It's okay, alright?

I'll watch him.

Paige, the
game's starting! Come on!

Hello, Ms. Johnson.
This is Detective Anderson.

I talked to my colleague
about your situation,

and I'm afraid there isn't
a whole lot we can do

without any evidence.

I shouldn't say this,
but maybe if you call me back,

there might be a way we can
help each other out here.

I got to head out.

Again? It's 8:30.

Oh, it's just work, honey.

I'll be back in a few hours.

Joslyn, I need you
watch Tanner for a bit!

Okay!

Jeez!

Um, sorry. No, I don't
have any change.

Sorry. No.

Ugh!

Babe?

Baby?

You awake?

Babe?

Hey, babe, wake up.

Oh, I'm sorry I've been
so hard on you lately.

But I think we can fix things.

Huh? I really want things to be
the way they used to be.

We were happy. Me, you, Tanner.

All of us.

No, no, Michael.
I don't want to.

Come on, baby.

No. Michael,
you can't just fix things.

Sex is not going to make this
go away!

You're my wife, Paige.

Get off of me!

Good morning, sleeping beauty.

Want some pancakes?

Um...

Tanner already ate.
He's getting school stuff.

Uh, you're going to take him
to school?

Yeah.

I took the morning off.

I, um,

figured you could use a
little time for some self-love.

So, why don't you make a bath
and just relax this morning?

Okay?

Okay. You got everything?

- Yep.
- All right. Let's go.

See you later, sweetheart.

Bye, Mom.

I'm sorry.

I should've believed you.

You okay?

My stomach is in knots.
I don't recognize him anymore.

I can't trust him.

I have no idea
what he's going to do next.

Jos, I think we need to go.

We?

I can't do this alone.

Yeah.

Okay.

Where are we going to go?
What about your mom's?

No, no.

I can't do that to her
after everything with my dad.

Besides, it's the first place
he'll look.

No. We need to get far away
from Mike.

Far away
from everything he knows.

Paige,

- I have no money.
- That's okay.

That's okay. I have the car.
I have a few dollars for gas.

A few dollars

isn't going to get us
very far with two kids to feed.

I know. I know. You're right.

If you can take Sean
in the evenings,

I can go back to the bar.
We can save it up.

No, no. We don't have time.

I mean, who knows what trouble
he's gotten himself into?

Us into.
We need to protect the boys.

I just...
I couldn't live with myself

if anything happened to Tanner
or Sean.

Paige, you're scaring me.

But if it means our sons
will be safe,

I'll go.

How much do you think
we'll need?

Oh, I don't know.

Between getting out of state,

lodging, food, and...

Four grand?

We can't exactly sell the car.

I could sell some of my jewelry.

My wedding rings.

How much do you think
they're worth?

I don't know.

It's a start.

Can I help you?

Yes. I would like to sell
some things.

Well, you came to
the right place for that.

Are you kidding? That's it?

What can I say?

The resale is just not great
on this stuff.

It was my mother's.

I can give you 500 bucks for it.

It's worth three times that
at least.

Come on.

I just...
I really need this money.

Can you just

cut me a break?

Throw in those earrings,
and I'll make it an even thou.

You enjoy taking advantage
of women?

Well, you know, you can't always
get what you want.

A thousand bucks

for almost all my jewelry.

I'm worthless, clearly.

- You did good, Paige.
- No. It's not enough.

We'll leave here
and be starving within weeks.

I can try calling Rex.
Ask for money.

No, no. We're not taking
anything from that dirtbag.

I don't trust him
as far as I can throw him.

You know what?

I can ask my old boss
from the bar.

He's a good guy
and kind of a friend.

He might lend us something.

Hey, honey.
What you up to out there?

- Just something for my clients.
- Ah.

Where's Joslyn?

Oh, she's just running errands.

That's a first.

Oh, don't... Don't bug him.

I'm just going to get him
to sleep.

Well, he's a good-looking kid.

I'll give him that.

Are you going out?

Later.

I'm finalizing everything.

And tomorrow is the big day,
babe.

It's going to change everything.

I'm so excited for you.
You're going to do great.

Mm-hmm. I can't lose.

You know, I was thinking...

maybe we could adopt Sean.

What?

I mean, we've always talked
about having another child.

Joslyn can't get on her feet
and is obviously overwhelmed.

I could look at new houses.
More space for the kids.

The kids?

Yeah! Tanner and Sean
can be brothers.

What is it?

No. I'm just, um, so excited
for this deal to be done, honey.

Good.

Why don't we go away
next weekend?

- Take Tanner somewhere fun.
- I would love that.

Where's your ring?

I got... I, uh...

I was just cleaning the bathroom

and I think I just left them
upstairs.

Well,

I wouldn't want anyone thinking
you're a free woman.

Oh, no. Don't you worry.

I'm going to take a nap.
I got a big night.

Okay.

Paige?

There you are.

Always lurking
in the shadows, huh, Jos?

Why are you so happy?

Oh.

You finally going to pay me
some rent?

You live under my roof, you pay.

Michael!

She's supposed to be gone.
Remember?

You don't want to be as useless
as that deadbeat ex, do you?

You just bought yourself
another day.

Maybe we should tell her about
our little proposition.

Jos, I'm sorry, okay?

It's going to be okay.
We're going to be okay.

Proposition?

What the hell
was he talking about?

He wants to adopt Sean.

What?

He wants you out of the picture

so that Sean
can come and live with us.

He knows.

He must've seen the birthmark
or just assumed.

I don't know.

Mama?

Hey, buddy. Hi.

I can't fall asleep.

Oh. Okay. Do you want to
go upstairs and read a story?

Um, okay.

How about we watch a movie, huh?

Okay. Yeah, yeah.

Um, okay.

Why don't you stay
with Auntie Joslyn, all right?

And I will... I'll be right back.

What movie do you want to watch?

- Joslyn?
- Where have you been?

What is it?

We have the money.

Where did you...

It doesn't matter. Okay, go.

Get everything you need,
all right?

We're leaving now.

I don't think this a good idea,
Paige.

Do you have a better one?

This is our chance, Jos.

- But...
- No. Let's just go.

Okay? Now.

Mommy, where are we going?

We are going on a vacation.
It's going to be fun.

I don't want to go
on a vacation.

Tanner, I know that it's late.
I know you're tired.

But I need you to be brave,
okay?

Why don't you grab a toy
you can bring, okay?

Where's Daddy?

Daddy's not coming this time.

I want Daddy! I'm not going.

Tanner, Tanner!
It's going to be okay.

But we need to go, now.

Okay? Come on.

Come on, buddy. All right.

Oh, no.

What? Do you know him?

I've seen him around.

Rex used to talk about him.

If he has anything to do with
this money,

we're in deep trouble.

- He'll find us anywhere we go.
- Okay, okay.

So, out of state
isn't far enough?

I don't think so.

- Mama!
- Oh, Buddy.

Hey.

- Oh, buddy.
- I want Teddy.

Oh, buddy.

Buddy, you didn't bring him?

No.

Shh.

You have to be quiet, okay?
You have to stop crying.

You're going to wake the baby.

Okay. We'll get you
a new teddy, okay?

I want my teddy.

Where are we going?

- Uh...
- I want Daddy!

I'll go check in, okay?

Are you serious?

We only need it for one night.

We need a credit card on file
for incidentals.

Yeah, yeah. We'll take it.

I'm just going to go make
a call.

Mother:
Oh, I'm so sorry, darling.

Don't tell me where you are.
The less I know, the better.

I want you to get in touch with
my cousin Raymond.

He's a wonderful man.
Just take this number down.

And then I'll call him

and I'll tell him everything
that you told me.

And he'll arrange to get you
across the border

and into Canada.

Wait. Mom, what?

You have to be somewhere safe,
Paige, until things calm down.

- Raymond will sort it all.
- Mom, I don't know. I mean...

Honey, what are your options?

- I don't have our passports.
- What?

I don't know.
We were leaving in such a rush,

I forgot to take them.

Jesus, Paige!

I didn't know that we were
leaving the country, Mom.

Okay, okay. I will go

and I will get them,
and I will bring them to you.

No, no, no. I don't want to
get you involved. I'll just...

- I'll go back.
- No!

Paige, that's a bad idea.

Michael will be looking for you.

I know. I know.

It's okay. I'll be careful.

I just... I won't go in
if I know that he's home.

Love you, Mom.

Paige, I love you, too, darling.

But listen to me.
You be careful, okay?

Leave the country?
What's going on?

Um...

I, um...

I just need you to watch
the kids, okay?

And I'll be back
as soon as I can.

No, no. It's too dangerous.

If I'm not,

then you have the money.

So, just get a new car

and keep going as planned, okay?

Paige, this is crazy.

If Tanner wakes up,

just tell him that
I went to go get his teddy.

Paige?

Oh, you witch.

Paige?

- What's going on, Paige?
- Huh?

You break into my shed?

No, no. Let go!

I know who you are.
I know what you did to Joslyn!

She's a liar.

I know that Sean is your baby!

Where are they, Paige?
Where are my boys?

- You're a liar and a fraud.
- No, no, no.

I did this for us, Paige.
I did this for our family.

Where are they?

I hate you.

Oh, why, why, why, Paige?

Why? Why'd you make me do that?

Huh?

How could you be so ungrateful?

I've literally done everything
for you in your life.

You really thought you could
get away with this?

Now, where is my money?

Oof!

Come on. We need to go.

We need to go. Come on. Come on.

- Shh.
- Come on.

Oh, my God.

Mike, Mike. He came back.

I barely made it out. I mean,

I hit him with a poker.

Oh, my God.

If he comes to,
he's going to go ballistic.

If he doesn't,
that's even worse.

- Paige, you need to rest.
- No, no, no.

I can't sleep.

My heart is beating
out of my chest.

Jos, I can't wait. I used
my credit card to get in here.

He's going to track us.

If he's alive.

Either way, we need to go.
We need to go.

We need to get as far away
from here as possible.

Okay, okay. Yeah.

- Let's not wake up the kids.
- Okay.

Paige?

Answer your phone, Paige.
I want my boys back.

Listen to me, you stupid...

You better turn your ass around
and bring my boys home.

Oh, and that money you took?

There's some heavy dudes
behind this deal.

A lot worse than me coming
for you if you don't return it.

You understand?

It's him again.

I'll just turn it off.

- Phones have GPS.
- Well, I know,

but we can't be out here
without a phone.

I'll just... I'll turn it on
in emergencies.

What about one of those cheap
phones, like in the movies?

Like a burner phone?

That's a good idea.
And then, we can just

pay for everything with cash.
That way, Mike can't track us.

I'm hungry, Mama.

Sorry, sweetie. We are, too.
Don't worry.

We were just waiting
for you to wake up.

What happened to your eye, Mama?

It was just an accident, buddy.

Um, Raymond? Yeah. Hi.
It's Dolly's daughter, Paige.

Yeah.
She said that you'd be callin'.

So, do you want to come up north
for a visit, then?

Yeah, yeah. As soon as possible.

We need to disappear for a bit.

Well, I live outside
a small town

in the middle of nowhere,
so if you want to disappear,

this is the place to do it.

Stay as long as you need.

I know some people
who can get you work,

and there's plenty of odd jobs
around here that need doing.

That's amazing.

I hear you might need
some other things.

Uh, yeah.

We need to get across
the border.

- You have passports?
- Yes.

You'll need signed letters

from the father saying it's okay
to take the kids across,

but don't worry. I have a friend

who's pretty good
at that sort of thing.

But it is going to look weird
if they both have the same dad,

so I'll get him to make a letter
for each kid.

We'll overnight them to you
as soon as you get an address

and e-mail me
everyone's details.

Right. Okay.

I got you pancakes.

Thank you.

I got pancakes, too, Mama.

You did? Wow.

Lucky guy.

That was nice of Auntie Jos
to get you pancakes.

You were such a brave boy last
night. You really deserve it.

When's Daddy coming?

Um...

He's really busy with work,

so I'm not sure
when we're going to see him.

Maybe tomorrow?

Maybe.

I think he'll come tomorrow.

How's Sean doing?

Are you making sure
he's having a good time?

Yeah. I was teaching him

little piggy on his toes.

You were? Oh, wow.

He must've loved that.

Hey.

You want to watch your show?

Yeah? Okay.

So, what's up?

It's all set.
He lives in Newfoundland.

- Wow.
- Yeah, yeah.

We just need to find a place
that we can lay low

for a few days, just while
he figures some stuff out.

I think I know somewhere
we can go.

What? Really?

My family used to have a cabin.

I haven't been there in years.

It's pretty rustic, but it's in
the middle of the woods.

Sounds perfect.

What?

This is a lot.

- We're moving to Canada now?
- I know. I know.

We have enough money to survive.

We'll be far away and safe.

Wait. What about your mom?
I mean, Mike is...

No. Don't worry about Mom.

Thank you.

She's never let a man
push her around before.

She's not going to start now.

- Hey, Dolly.
- Hmm.

Well, she got you pretty good,
didn't she?

Where are they?

Not a clue.

You must've done something
pretty bad, though, did you?

Making her go over the edge
like that.

She didn't even tell me
where she was going,

but she said you'd probably
be here,

sniffing around
trying to find her.

She can't take my family away.
It's against the law.

She's his mother.

- Watch your tone, Dolly.
- Oh, yeah?

You get off my property.

And If I catch you trespassing
here again,

I'll blow a hole in you.

How's my tone now, Mikey?

Listen, Rex. I don't care
that you're at work.

Think. Where might have your ex
have gone?

I will bust your head open
if you don't give me something.

A cabin, huh?

Wow. This place is perfect.

Look at that lake.

It'll need a bit of clean.

Mama, there's two bedrooms

and a tiny toilet.

There is? Well, why don't you go
pick one out for us?

We'll have to wait
around here anyway.

I'll go into town
and get some supplies.

See if there's anywhere we can
get those documents delivered.

We'll have to be ready
for anything.

Doesn't look like
you're just passing through.

No. We're just staying
for a few days.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I need a courier service.
Is there a post office nearby?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.
You're looking at it.

Oh. Great.

Uh, I need a package
delivered here.

You just give them our address,

and then we hold on to it
until you come pick it up.

- Easy-peasy.
- Okay, great.

- What's your name, darlin'?
- Uh, Paige.

Well, Paige, I'm Maeve.

Now, if you don't mind
my saying,

you seem like you're looking

not to be found.

Now, you don't have to worry
about a thing, because if

whoever gave you that black eye
comes lurking around here,

I'll send them packing
right back to whatever hole

they crawled out of.

Now, that's going to be $75.

Thanks, Maeve.

Um, do you sell phones,

cellphones?

Oh, no. Sorry. That's much too
high-tech for me.

No. If I don't understand it,

I don't sell it.

Do you have a phone I could use?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
In the back office there.

- You help yourself.
- Okay, great. Thanks.

Raymond? I've got an address.

Paige?

- Here.
- Thank you.

Tanner passed out as soon as
his head hit the pillow.

The baby is still sound asleep.

When are you going to have
the talk?

Soon.

I can't keep lying to him.

It's going to be hard for Tanner
to understand.

I know.

It really is amazing here.

When I was a kid,
we'd come here a lot.

I've always remembered
how I felt.

At peace, free,

happy.

I think I could live like this
if I had to.

You know? If this was it.

Far from the city, Rex,

all my problems.

You could start over.
You could be anybody.

All right. So, tell me again.

I run and hide
in the special spot,

and I don't come out
until you or Auntie Joslyn

comes and gets us.

That's right.

But why, Mom?

Because, um,

there are some not-nice people

who may come looking for us,

and I just need to make sure
that you are safe.

What do you mean?

Why isn't Daddy here
to keep us safe?

Because, um, Daddy is sick.

- Sick?
- Yeah.

He just doesn't know
what he's doing.

What kind of sick?

Um, it's like in a movie

when a good guy
does something naughty

and it turns him into a bad guy.

Daddy's the bad guy?

He's not safe for us
right now, okay?

Tanner, Tanner,
I know this is so hard.

I want to go home.

I know. I know. Me, too.

But I promise you,

I will always be here for you.

I will protect you.

Okay?

Okay.

You want to race back to
the cabin?

How'd it go?

How do you convince your son

that his biggest hero
is now a villain?

I think I just need to
leave it now

and just give him some time.

I'm sorry, Paige. That's tough.

I'm going to head into town.

See if those documents are done.

You going to be okay here
on your own?

I'll play a game or something
with Tanner.

Try and cheer him up.

Okay.

I won't be long.

Oh, hi, darling.

There's a message for you
out back.

Oh, great. Thanks.

Hey, Raymond.

Paige, the letters are ready.
Everything looks great.

I'll send them off today.

- Probably arrive tomorrow.
- That's wonderful.

And you shouldn't have
any trouble

if you cross at Houlton.
It's a sleepy border.

The guy who runs
the booth is about to retire,

and he's probably not interested
in his job anymore.

I cannot thank you enough.

No problem, honey.

Let's just get you
over that border, okay?

Thanks, Maeve.
Um, do you have bullets

for a sporting rifle?

What, you mean, like, a .22?

Yeah.

Touchdown!

So, Teddy, how was that?

Shh-shh-shh.

Where's Tanner?

He's playing somewhere.

And how's my baby boy, huh?

Aw.

Mommy Bear protecting her cub.

He'll never be yours.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

You two
were really stupid enough

to think that
you could get away with this.

Taking my money

and my boys.

My legacy.

I will find you wherever you go.

I will haunt you

like a ghost.

You've ruined my life!

And now, you're going to pay,
witch.

Daddy?

Hey, buddy.

Oh, I missed you so much.

You having fun out here?

What are you doing
to Auntie Joslyn?

We're just having a little talk.

Mommy was right.

What's that, buddy?

You're a bad guy.

No, no. That's not true.

You know
how much Daddy loves you.

Mommy is a liar.

Run, Tanner!

Run like Mommy told you. Run!

Argh!

Tanner?

Where are you, buddy?

Come talk to me. I can explain.

Where is my wife?

She went into town.

If I don't call her
every 10 minutes,

she'll know something's wrong
and call the police.

Liar!

There is no cell service
out here.

Now, where is she?

I told you, she went to town.

To get supplies.

Tanner?

Come see Daddy.

Tanner?

- Tanner!
- Mama.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Okay.
Do you know where they went?

Okay. Um, you remember
what I told you to do, right?

You stay here
and you be very, very quiet,

and only come out

if Auntie Joslyn
or I come and get you.

Mama, I'm scared.
Please don't leave me.

Shh, sweetie.
Be brave, okay, sweetie?

You need to be
a brave bear, all right?

I promise you, it'll be okay.

All right? I won't be long.
I will come back.

Here.

Teddy will keep you safe.

I love you so much.

I don't know
what I would do without you.

Tanner?

Stay here.

Please, Michael. Stop this.

Just shut up!

Please just let me go back
and get the baby.

- He can't be there alone.
- He will be fine.

As soon as I find Tanner,
I'll grab Sean and I'll go.

He's mine. You can't have him.

These are my boys and my family.

- You have no part in it!
- I won't let you take him.

Shut up. Shut up!

Shut up!

You'll never find him.

Where is Tanner?

You have some sort of
escape plan, huh?

Where is he?

Don't worry.
I'll be your best friend.

And remember, you should always
be a brave bear.

I'll be your best friend.

And remember,
always be a brave bear.

Oh, you're dead.

Tanner, Tanner!

Oh, Tanner, why?

Why, why, why,
would you do that? It's Daddy.

Mommy attacked me, okay?
You saw that, right?

Mommy? Mommy is crazy.

You're bad! Mommy, help!

Tanner, run!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait.

Tanner, Tanner, Tanner.
I love you, buddy.

Oof!

You son of a witch.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

I'm okay, Mama. I'm okay.

Okay, okay.
The baby. Go. Go get him.

Get some rope!

Was I brave, Mama?

You were so brave.
Sweetie, you did great.

I'm sorry
we couldn't have acted sooner.

Vice looked into your husband,

and it turns out
he was brokering a deal

between the Chinese and the
biker gang led by Roman D'Mante.

You're not going to
get away with this, Paige.

You kidnapped my kid.

I just came to get him back.
It's my right as a father!

I didn't do anything.

Your husband disappeared
with all the money

right before the deal went down,
and everything went sideways.

Is your friend going to be okay?
She looks a little beat-up.

Yeah. Yeah. She'll be okay.

She's as tough as they come.

We found your husband's car
down the road,

There was no money in it.

You say you have no idea
about any of this?

No.

No. After I came to you,
we decided

it was safer if we just
came here to get away from him.

Yeah.

Well, there's going to be
a lot of dangerous men

looking for that money.

Whoever does have it,

I hope they know
what they're doing.

Thanks, detective.

Is Daddy going to jail, Mama?

I don't know, buddy...

but I think so.

Tanner?
The food's ready. Come on.

Does you want a present? Okay.
