Hey, Chelsea.

Okay.

Good morning everyone.

Okay, how we doing?

Oh, I hope everyone's had a chance

to taste Danny's delicious coffee.

This is really yummy.

Really.

Okay.

Well, today is Ally's last day with us.

So if it's okay with you all,

I'd love to give her an opportunity

to share first, if you feel comfortable.

Ally, you wanna start?

Sure.

Uh,

I've been living here for a long time now, as you all know.

And uh,

since being here, I've gotten a job,

reconnected with my mom.

Yeah, this place...

is a lifeline for me,

so thank you.

All right.

Well, we are all very proud of your progress,

and you need to remember that this is the space

where you can share with us anything you want.

We will always be here if you need.

Okay?

What are you feeling right now?

Are you still having the visions?

Uh, it's-- It's been quiet lately.

Okay.

That's good.

That's good.

I think if there's one thing we can learn from your journey,

it's that healing is possible.

Yeah?

You've come such a long way.

Just remember that progress can come in waves, right?

So if your visions do return,

I'm fully confident that you're equipped

to manage things on your own.

So good for you.

Thank you for sharing.

-Thank you. -Okay, who's next?

Nadia, what would you like to share?

I'm sorry.

I did not mean to scare you.

I just wanted to give you this.

Thank you.

Hey, the owner said you can stay

however long you like,

rent-free, for the first few months.

This is good, Ally.

You're good.

In the African Savannah,

the cheetah begins its stalk,

closing in on the gazelle.

The pursuit intensifies

as the cheetah launches into a full chase.

With both eyes open, the alert gazelle senses the danger

and makes a desperate escape.

This survival snapshot reveals the delicate ballet of nature

where instincts and awareness dictate the outcome.

Okay, so when it happened, what did you do?

I did, like, I've always done: tried to block it out.

This, this was supposed to be my fresh start, Dr. Murphy.

Like I just knew that, oh God,

this thing was behind me.

I know.

Well, it's important to understand that

in many ways this will always be with you.

Your past, as traumatic as it was,

is now a part of who you are.

Then what have I become?

Well, trauma can have a lasting impact on our lives, Ally.

So it ends up becoming a part of our history,

our experiences, even our sense of self.

So how about this,

instead of trying to deny its existence,

what if you tried to find healthy ways of,

of trying to coexist with it?

Now are you sure you don't want to reconsider--?

No, no, no, no.

Okay.

Then what if you took up new hobby?

You know, that might take your mind off things.

Maybe help introduce you to some, some new friends.

A hobby? Like what?

Oh, anything.

Whatever excites you.

Ally, this is your life.

It's time you take control of it.

Okay?

Somebody has a new spot.

What's this?

New case.

Class action lawsuit, I think.

Ugh, great.

So how is it?

It's lovely.

The owners moved out the country,

so they pretty much donated it.

-Wow. -Yeah.

I mean, part of me feels like a charity case,

but it's also nice to not be treated like damaged goods.

I get it.

Hey Ally, I heard about your move.

I just wanted to swing by

and say congrats on this next step.

I mean, it must feel like

a huge weight off your shoulders, huh?

Yeah.

Why, you, you wanna throw me a victory parade?

I didn't mean to imply--

It's fine. You wouldn't understand.

So did you hear about the new paralegal spot?

Mm-hmm.

Girl.

Well, congrats again, Ally.

Jules knows she loves to put her foot in her mouth.

Ah.

Oh, you have a scheduled meeting

with Mr. Davis in 10 minutes.

- Mm. - Mr. Davis?

Isn't that the client you hate?

When I start to fill out his divorce paperwork,

he accuses me of inflating my bill.

Then when I tell him to fill it out,

"that's what I hired you for."

Don't ever become a lawyer.

I don't plan on it.

Oh, before I forget,

I want to give you my resume.

I know I don't have paralegal experience,

but I figured it's still worth a shot.

Of course.

Randall is on vacation right now,

but as soon as he's back I will place it on his desk.

Thanks, Char.

What is that?

This?

Some flyer that I saw in the break room.

There was a whole bunch of them.

- Can I see it? - Yeah, sure.

Well, I will leave you to it.

Mm-hmm.

Yoga.

Well, you're here early.

Oh uh, yeah, I am.

I thought there would be a class before mine

so I could sit in and watch.

First time?

I can't even say I am an athletic person.

I tried to work out, uh--

It is been a while.

Well, luckily this is the beginner's class,

so you're in good hands.

I'm Cara, by the way.

I'm your instructor.

Ally.

Nice to meet you, Ally.

I'm happy you're here.

It's fun, right?

Yeah. There's usually a good mix of regulars

and newcomers, so you'll be fine.

Now, if you're talking about yoga, yoga is a lot of fun.

Whew.

Okay, I'm not anxious anymore.

That's a gift.

Oh, here my regular early birds.

Why don't you grab a mat,

and get a spot and get comfortable, okay?

You don't have to be anxious.

You're exactly where you're supposed to be.

Hi ladies.

- Hi. - Good to see you.

Let's get to it.

So you thought you could run away, Ally?

Oh, Ally.

Uh, silly girl.

You know, I'll always find you.

Is this a law office or a telethon?

Sorry.

Sterling and Hawthorne.

Hello?

Hello?

What--? Okay, what's going on?

I think someone is trying to scare me.

Before you say it, it's a Rhode Island area code.

There's no way he moved.

He barely leaves the city.

It's been three years.

He could have changed.

That son of a bitch threatened to douse me with acid.

He's incapable of change.

So you looked up the number?

No name came up?

No.

I'm gonna just block it.

You think he could have been someone from work?

Jules?

As much as I can't stand, Jules,

the only person who has anything to gain

from texting you that is--

Hey, if it is Owen, maybe it's a good thing.

He may not live here anymore and you can just--

It's not Owen!

Owen doesn't get to come back.

It's not him.

Okay, then it's not him.

Intentional Living is a phrase

we've all heard before,

but it isn't until we're actively doing it

that we learn what it really is.

I found its true meaning

when I uncover the power of mindfulness,

a tool you--

The hallucinations. They, uh,

they won't stop.

And I received a message about a week ago.

I don't wanna think it's him, but,

I can't shake the feeling.

Wait, what do--

What do you mean you received a message?

A text.

It was cryptic. Like...

someone was watching me or something.

"You can't escape your past."

That's what it said.

Okay, maybe your receiving this text

intensified your visions.

What if it is him?

In the moments that you see him,

do you think that hallucinating?

Sometimes, but sometimes I'm not sure.

Okay, well, I can understand your fear,

but as we discussed,

relapses can and often do happen.

What are you doing?

No, no more meds, please.

Okay, well, have you taken up any hobbies

like I suggested?

Yes, actually. Yoga.

And I met someone like you told me to.

Her name is Cara.

Okay, "Cara".

Well, tell me about the yoga class first.

How is it?

I love it.

It, it completely takes my mind off of everything.

I can finally escape the intrusive thoughts

and just focus on the present moment.

There's something about the discipline of yoga

that's incredibly therapeutic.

As if I'm rebuilding my strength

both physically and mentally

one contained movement at a time.

It gives me a sense of control

that I haven't felt in a long time.

Thank you for coming, ladies.

I'll see you next week.

Okay.

Well, how are you?

Great.

Class was great as usual.

I'm happy to hear that.

Oh, I can go if you have stuff to do.

No, no, it's fine.

I just wanted to say, uh--

I'm really happy I started this class.

It's a bit pricey, but it's been worth it.

What has it helped you with?

To be honest, this is the only place I feel sane.

Is that crazy?

Oh, the irony of that question?

Um, no, no, that's not crazy at all.

Okay, good.

'Cause I needed this.

Hmm.

Do you wanna grab coffee?

Thank you.

Ah.

I love this place.

The coffee's probably some of the best I've ever had.

What you think?

It kind of reminds me of coffee Danny makes.

I'm sorry?

It's this Ethiopian girl I--

Never mind.

Doesn't matter.

Oh, well this is Ethiopian coffee,

so that might explain it.

You know, you keep mentioning things

and then changing your mind.

I mean, I know we just met,

but whatever it is, I won't judge you.

It's nothing.

Oh, come on, we all have a past.

Okay, then tell me something from your past.

Okay, this might be surprising,

but I went to school to be in the circus.

What?

Sorry.

It's okay, you can laugh.

I get it.

It's odd, right?

It's just my home life was so,

so anyways, when I moved out,

I just wanted to do something totally out of the ordinary,

you know, push myself out of my comfort zone.

I don't know, whatever it was, it worked.

I even went on tour for a while.

Mm-hmm, it was my escape.

Do you miss it?

Oh, of course.

All the time.

But I can never go back.

Why not?

What the circus did for me, I see yoga does for others.

Yeah.

I was in a,

a really tough situation.

It's complicated, but--

I think I'm finally moving on.

Good.

It's just, it's hard to trust people, you know?

Oh, I get it.

Yeah, you've been hurt before.

Huh, "hurt"?

"Hurt" seems a bit trivial, but sure,

we'll go with "hurt", I guess.

No wonder you don't trust anyone.

No, there's, there's some people I trust like,

like my best friend Charlotte.

Oh.

Oh, oh, um, and there's my therapist

who I've known for years.

Hmm, what about your parents? Your mom?

Uh, I--

I'm not so close to my mom anymore.

Um, so.

Hey, don't worry, I won't pry.

It's in our nature to pry.

How can you feel good about your own life

if you don't know how horrible mine is?

Well, I choose to feel good about my life.

I don't need a frame of reference.

Ah, you're one of those people.

You believe in the law of attraction.

Well, I did tell the universe

I wanted to make new friends.

And here you are.

You think we're friends already?

I mean, what do you think?

I think Danny would really like this coffee.

Is she your friend?

Mm, no.

I gotta get to work.

But we should come here again after class.

I really wanna try the beignets.

Oh yeah you have to.

It don't go so well with your latte.

And this calmness you fee feel with her?

Do you trust it?

Yeah.

Thank you so much for watching Jayden tonight.

Of course.

And please say a prayer that this meeting

goes well.

Their divorce has been so messy,

and I'm just hoping my client don't make no scene.

Is there anything I need to do?

No, he can pretty much handle himself.

Plus Damien should be home in a few hours so.

Damien lives here now?

Hell naw.

Maybe sometimes.

He's so great.

Yeah, he is.

Also, I think I might have a new friend.

Hmm?

A friend?

Like a friend -friend or just a friend?

No, just like a friend.

Let me find out about this.

Jayden, turn it down.

By the way, did you give Randall my resume?

I saw him at the office yesterday.

Yeah, girl, you know I got you.

But look, I gotta go. Um.

Jayden, I love you.

Be good.

I love you, girl.

So Jayden, what do you wanna do?

Okay.

I don't even think Ethiopian people eat beignets,

but this place makes a killer deep fried pastry.

I know.

What is there--?

No, no, no, no.

It's just, it's the first time you ever dashed off to work.

I got time today.

All right, um, well, I'll see you later.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

We are friends.

Have a great day, Ally.

Who are you?

Why are you--?

I'm sorry.

You have reached a number that has been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

This was sent right after I hung out with Cara.

My friend I told you about.

You think it's related?

Yeah.

I think someone was watching us.

Ally, this is getting serious.

Can I tell Damien?

No, no.

Look, okay, I'll admit there is a strong possibility

that it is him.

But if that's the case,

going to the police means once again, he has control.

I just need to seem unfazed and he'll go away.

Is this what unfazed looks like to you?

Because you're doing a terrible job.

Look, Owen is batshit, and as your lawyer,

I suggest that you start documenting this stuff.

Don't tell any-- Don't tell anyone

your personal information.

And the moment he threatens you,

we're going to the police.

-But we can-- -I don't care.

Ally, he could be stalking you.

Matter of fact, change your locks while you're at it.

- You don't think-- - Ally!

Change your locks.

And you're going to tell Damien anyway, aren't you?

What's going on?

I'm fine.

Hey, you wanna do something fun?

Yeah, come on.

This is where I go when I'm sad.

Yeah, that's it.

That's good.

Hey.

Hey, hey!

Hey, Ally, Ally.

Ally, Ally, it's okay, it's okay.

Hey, it's okay.

Okay, it's okay, you're all right.

You feel that?

Just breathe.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

You're okay.

I'm sorry. I'm just--

I'm, I'm sorry.

It's beautiful.

You should hang it.

You don't-- You don't think it's too dark?

So?

It's not me.

That's not me.

It's fortifying.

Own it.

I got it.

We could do a small gathering at my place.

Ally, I could have been on a call with a client.

We could do it this weekend.

Bring Damien.

If it really is Owen.

So you are still stuck on this if, huh?

I'm sure he'll look Damien up and see a cop.

He's a detective.

Maybe it'll scare him off knowing

I have a police officer on speed dial.

You definitely don't have my boyfriend on speed dial.

You know what I mean?

So you do think Owen knows where you live?

And what makes you think

I don't already have plans this weekend?

Because I have access to your calendar

and you barely even have weekends.

All right, fine.

I will ask Damien when I get home.

I think he might be off on Saturday.

Who else are you inviting?

Hey!

Everybody's in here.

Oh wait, I bought you a gift.

Oh wow.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's a journal for whenever you're not painting.

How do you know my last name?

What kind of person

doesn't know their friend's last name?

Right. I just, I only use it at work.

People can be nosy and--

Look you up.

You take my class.

Remember your last name's on a sign in sheet.

I don't sign in with my full name.

Look, I'm sure you know my last name, right?

I think it's okay that I know yours.

You're right, you're right, you're right.

Um, I'm being ridiculous.

Thank you, Cara.

Really.

What are friends for?

We've all been drinking so you better join us

before we're too far ahead.

Thank you.

You're Charlotte, Ally's best friend?

-Yeah. -Cara.

Well, duh.

Ally hasn't stopped talking about you.

Ah, that is not true.

That is not true.

And this is Damien, Charlotte's boyfriend.

-Cara, is it? -Yeah.

Yes.

Um, I'm sorry.

I don't wanna be rude,

but I thought this was just girls tonight.

Oh, oh, okay, sorry.

It's really not that strange though.

Damien's like one of the girls, right, Damien?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, if he's cool with it, I guess.

I-- I'm here now, so I say let's just have a good time.

Yes, yes, let's.

Come sit.

Okay.

Okay.

So Cara, how long have you been living in the city?

Um, not long.

Thank you.

How long is "not long"?

A year, maybe two.

Um, so do you like it?

It's okay.

You know, your place is so lovely, by the way, Ally.

I agree.

It does have a lot of charm.

And you did not tell me

that it was a mid-century modern home.

I can't take credit for any of it.

Uh, I owe it more to luck

and generosity more than anything else.

What do you mean?

Oh, right.

You don't know.

She's just being modest.

You know, I think it's your turn.

It's okay, Char.

I got it.

I--

I lived in a domestic violence shelter for 3 years.

My ex, he, uh--

He abused me.

I got this place from one of the shelter's donors.

I mean, none of this stuff is mine.

Why didn't you go home to be with your family?

Because...

he made me choose between my mom and him,

and I chose him.

That tore us apart.

Well, I guess it's a good thing you got out when you did.

Most people would say, I'm sorry that happened to you.

I don't need pity, Char.

Cara's already helped me enough.

Even if she doesn't know it.

Well, to Charlotte's point,

I am so sorry that that happened to you.

Well, I think that you should consider

getting a security system,

you know, just to be safe.

Yeah, Damien's friend is an IT specialist

for a security company.

Yeah, I could probably have him come

and install one for you.

And he's my boy so he'll do it for a good price.

Well, why didn't I think of that?

Something's wrong with the lock anyway.

You didn't tell me that.

Well, he could probably fix that too.

That would be great, Damien.

Thank you.

Well, you know, sometimes these security systems

create more problems than they solve.

I've been hearing all these stories about hackers

getting access to all your data.

It happened to a friend of mine.

It stole all of his information.

Sometimes the simplest solution is the safest.

Mm.

So what do you propose?

Maybe just fix the lock?

Oops.

I still think you should get a security monitor,

Ally.

even if you don't activate it.

And I think you should consider getting a weapon.

Just, you don't want to be in a situation

where you need one and you don't have one.

Yeah, we just want you to be safe, Al.

Okay, I wanna make sure that she's safe as well.

We weren't suggesting that you don't,

we just view the situation a little differently, that's all.

You guys are acting like she's in some sort of danger.

Okay, I, I think you both made great points,

but I do think I'm gonna go

with Damien and Charlotte on this one.

Thank you.

And if I sense something's fishy, I'll just take it out.

Well, whatever you think is best.

I just want you to feel--

Safe.

Yep, we, we get it.

-Charlotte! -Ally!

What is wrong with you?

You know, I care about you, right?

What are you even saying right now?

Something is up with Cara.

Is it 'cause she's not overbearing.

That's not fair.

Look, I know how I come off

but it's because I want what's best for you.

I've seen you at your worst, Ally.

I don't want you going back there.

I mean, what do you even know about this girl?

Coming from someone who knows nothing about her.

It's just a vibe I get.

I-- I can't explain it.

Look, all I'm saying is keep your eyes open.

Leave it alone, Char.

Let me know if you need anything.

Will do.

- Love you. - Love you.

See you guys later.

Well, that was fun, right?

Yeah.

Thank you for inviting me.

Of course.

You're welcome over whenever.

I can't believe you used to live in a shelter.

Uh, yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know.

I think Charlotte likes you.

"Likes me"?

What?

Mm-hmm.

No, we're just friends.

She has a boyfriend!

I don't know.

She seems pretty into you to me.

I think you're reaching.

She's just so overprotective of you.

You know, like the whole security thing.

What was that about?

She has her reasons.

Well, what are they?

You can tell me.

I've...

...been receiving some weird text messages.

Like someone may be following me.

Maybe they're from your ex.

Yeah, maybe.

Have you considered filing a police report?

That's not an option.

Well, I mean, you have to do something.

I'm getting a security system.

If he really is following you,

by the time the alarm goes off, I mean,

it might be too late.

My life late is complicated, okay?

I don't expect you to understand it.

You are not the only one whose life is complicated, Ally.

We're not that different!

Whatever.

You know what?

Never mind.

Forget it, I'm just gonna go.

No, no, no, no, no.

Look, I'm sorry.

I wanna know.

I have never told anyone this before.

I was good at hiding it,

you know, told all the lies

you're supposed to tell everyone.

But even when it got really bad,

most people didn't even ask.

You know, I actually thought

if I just held out long enough

then maybe he'd change.

I'm so sorry, Cara.

I loved him.

I loved him.

Leaving wasn't easy.

But it was necessary.

Look where you are now.

Yeah.

You're right.

We aren't that different.

Except my abuser was an addict.

He's dead now.

Yours isn't.

An addict?

Dead.

I wish he was.

I'm not.

As you continue to navigate

through your journey in healing,

I think that it is crucial

that you trust your instincts more than anything else.

It's great that, that Cara gives you a sense of peace.

It's, it's a positive sign.

But remember; trust is earned over time

and through consistent action and honesty.

Someone's aura is not always their spirit.

So enjoy the yoga class,

enjoy Cara,

but trust yourself.

I think you need an escape.

Let's make one.

It feels good to be away from all the craziness back home.

I always thought your life was kind of perfect.

No, far from it.

Mmm.

I do like being in the woods.

I have a uncle who owns a huge house on the creek.

Hmm.

My mom used to take me a lot when I was a little girl.

Hmm.

I still cherish those memories.

Up north, the winters were beautiful.

We'd go on these cabin trips and my mom would make me

and my brother forage for juniper berries

when we were sick.

so she could make her special herbal tea.

Mm.

It cured everything,

Even what it didn't.

I think that's why I'm so resourceful now.

Do you miss your mom?

I miss my brother.

I have to be honest,

I haven't felt this vulnerable since...

you know.

You're not supposed to be thinking about him.

No, I'm not.

What I meant was trust doesn't feel

as scary as it used to feel.

What are you thinking about?

I never thought I would meet someone who's been through

what I've been through.

And even if I did,

I couldn't have known how it would make me feel.

What's the verdict?

I feel this deep connection to you.

I mean, you figure you would but--

Not like this.

Oh.

What?

Why, why is Owen calling?

Why is Owen calling you?

Who's Owen?

What the fuck, Cara?

Wake up!

Why is Owen calling you?

Owen? From the bar?

He's, he's just some guy that I met once.

Why do you, you know him?

You really don't know?

Know what?

Owen's my ex.

Oh my God.

No, no, no, I, I had no idea.

It doesn't surprise me the way

that son of bitch keeps calling me.

Okay, what do you want me to do?

What do you mean?

Do you want me to harass the piece of shit?

No, no, I don't want you to talk to him at all.

Ally, fuck this guy.

Three years in the shelter,

and this dickhead just gets to walk around free,

hitting on girls at the bar?

He deserves shit for what he did to you.

How was he?

Did he-- Did he did he look happy?

Why does it matter?

You're still mad about the other day, aren't you?

Excuse me?

What?

You never been turned down before?

You are the one with unresolved issues, sweetheart.

Don't patronize me.

My ex is calling you.

And I told you what we can do.

What more do you want from me?

He's poison, Ally.

Why do you wanna know how he's doing?

Did you spend all those years in a safe house for nothing?

Wait, Ally.

No, I'm sorry.

Ally.

Hello?

Is someone here?

You can stay as long as you like.

I only plan on staying the night.

What made you come in the first place?

Well, I had a long conversation

with your friend, um, Cara,

and she helped me to see,

where I was wrong.

I mean, you blame yourself enough

and I just don't need to add to that.

Cara, Cara reached out to you?

- Mm-hmm. - When?

A few days ago.

She said, "The two of you got into a fight."

Now, if I were you,

I would reach out and call her.

After all you've been through,

it's good to have good people in your life.

And I'm just...

I'm sorry that I wasn't one of them.

I'm sorry.

I'm just happy you're here.

Now will you please get that lock fixed, will you?

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, princess.

My baby.

I didn't know that there was gonna something for me.

Hey.

Damien's friend finally got back to him,

said he is free next Thursday

to set up your security system.

Tell him Thursday is fine.

I'll put it on the calendar.

So how are you and Cara?

Great.

She really cares.

We're more similar than you think.

You and that girl are nothing alike.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Look, she just creeps me out.

It's something in her eyes.

You're ridiculous.

And her timing is impeccable.

I mean, you don't think it's unusual

that right when you met her

is when you started getting all these strange messages.

Come to think about it,

do you even know where the girl is from?

Probably Rhode Island.

Because you know everybody from Rhode Island is crazy.

Let's have fun, yeah!

Give me some.

Okay, Charlotte, I get it.

You don't like her.

Damn.

Just back off.

You're right.

This is your life.

Thank you.

Tell Mr. Davis I'm in my office when he gets here.

- No, no. - Ally.

No, no.

I, I know this is outta the blue.

I'm sorry.

Go away.

Ally, look, don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?

You are not real.

You're not real. You're not real.

- What? - You are not real.

Ally, what are you talking about?

I'm right here.

-What are you talking about? -No, you're not real.

Ally, Ally, just wait, wait, wait!

Can I please just talk to you?

Ally?

Ally, just--

Ally, please, just listen to me.

Please, just open the door, please.

I just wanna talk to you.

Ally, open this door!

Go away!

Ally, open this door.

- Go. - Open this door!

I just wanna talk to you, please.

Ally, Ally, just open the door please.

Ow!

Ally, please just let me in.

Please.

Ally, open this door!

Who are you calling?

When are you going to get it through your head

that if your friends actually liked you,

that they'd come and see you.

But they never do, do they?

Nobody likes you, Ally.

And no one is coming for you.

All you are is a nightmare.

Well, guess what?

I'm wide awake now.

It is gonna be okay, Ally.

You know how many times I've heard that.

I'm--

I'm, I'm sorry for what I said that night.

I shouldn't have--

You didn't deserve that.

What exactly happened?

He showed up here.

What?

And I got another message.

This time he put it inside the ring box

he proposed to me with.

He's fucking with me.

Are you sure it's him?

I know what I saw!

I'm not crazy.

I'm not questioning what you saw.

I'm asking how you know it's not another hallucination.

What, what's wrong now?

I never told you about my hallucinations.

Yes, yes, you did.

You said that you used

to get them all the time when you lived at the shelter.

No, no, no, Cara, I never told you that!

Well, then how would I know about it?

Oh, oh.

Oh, am I going crazy?

It's the messages.

You have to stop them.

I don't know how.

Listen to me, men like Owen

wanna make certain that as long

as they're alive, you will never know peace.

So they have to be taught a lesson.

God, he knows what this is doing to you.

And until you fight back, he will never go away

and he needs to go away.

Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

I need to get rid of him

for good.

That's right.

I gotta get rid of him for good.

Like I said,

everything is gonna be okay.

Hey, Dr. Murphy.

I know it's late.

Uh, I don't know why I expected you to answer.

Anyway, I think you were right as always.

You can write that prescription.

Yeah, I think the meeting went pretty well.

I'm, I'm happy with how everything--

I'll see you inside.

I called you last night.

You didn't pick up.

Guess you must have been with Cara.

Look, Charlotte, I don't have time for what--

I got a video last night from an unknown number.

Whoever this is, they know where we live.

I'm telling Damien I wanna file a police report.

And say what?

Look, we don't have any proof it's Owen.

I don't think it's Owen.

I think it's Cara.

What?

Remember that friend, she claimed

had her security system hacked.

I bet she was the one who did it.

And now she's trying to scare me,

but Ally, this is a threat.

I think Owen came to my house yesterday.

What do you need from me?

I can have security escort you out every day--

And he left a note,

inside.

You didn't change your locks, did you?

Why didn't you call me or Damien?

Because I called Cara.

Oh my God, Ally, what is with you and this girl?

-She's playing you. -You met her once!

I'm a, I'm a lawyer, I sense people

and you have been spiraling ever since

she's just popped up.

Really?

Because I feel more at ease

with her than I ever feel around you.

Is that my resume?

You never even asked

how I felt about not getting a promotion.

How dare you judge Cara

when you've been such a horrible friend.

Ally.

You just decided not to give it to him

and then lied to my face about it.

I didn't-- I didn't think you were ready.

Look, you're always paranoid.

I, I didn't wanna add anything more to your plate.

This is a huge responsibility.

That's exactly your problem, Charlotte,

you think everyone needs your approval.

- Hey. - Hey.

Where are we?

I told you I had a surprise for you.

Take off your shoes.

Cara, whose house is this?

Just take 'em off.

I wanna show you something.

Oh, I'm so glad that you're here.

Do you want some water or, um, whiskey?

Sure.

Yeah, whiskey's good.

It's appropriate for tonight.

Celebration.

Ice.

I should get ice.

Maybe you don't want ice, but just a little bit.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

You never let me down.

We had such a good time before just me and you.

I figured maybe we could do that again tonight.

We could celebrate.

Looks like you found my surprise.

By the way, you didn't say Owen was so rich.

Is he dead?

Just knocked out.

After yesterday I knew I had to do something

so I thought I would get him to invite me over.

So you could drug him?

Isn't this what you wanted?

Now you're finally in control.

This? This is insane!

Why does he get to be with anybody else?

Hurt anyone else?

We could end this right here.

What are you-- What are you trying to do?

We could make it look like a suicide!

He's stalking you, sending you cryptic messages,

showing up at your house.

Why are you denying yourself this closure?

You're obviously not over your own abuse

and your ex is dead.

Sounds like they haunt you from the grave too.

But unlike you, I don't see my ex in places

that he's not!

Your hallucinations, Ally, they torment you.

This? This is how you get rid of them.

He took everything from me.

I will not risk losing my life to him again.

Fuck, Ally!

I feel sick.

I need to find a bathroom.

Hey, this is Charlotte Russo.

Sorry I wasn't able to answer your call,

but if you leave your name, number,

and a message, I'll get back

to you at my earliest convenience.

Have a blessed day.

Hey, I know we're fighting right now,

but please call me back as soon as you get this.

Something really fucked up is going on.

Cara drugged Owen, and now she wants me to kill him.

She's crazy, Char.

I'm trying to find a weapon.

She's not going to let me leave.

I need to, I need to plan my escape.

You were right about her.

I'm sorry I didn't listen.

I gotta go.

Okay, we need to decide

what we're gonna do before he wakes up.

I can't believe I was such a fucking idiot.

What?

I actually trusted you.

- Ally! - What did he do to you?

Does he beat you too?

What is it?

Does he have some big life insurance policy

you can cash out on?

There is no addict ex.

It's...

Owen!

He made you sign a prenup, didn't he?

So you leave, you get nothing.

What is it, Cara?

Speak up!

My brother died two years ago

and I couldn't go home.

Then Owen asked me to marry him.

My brother knew not to trust men like him.

They take everything from you,

even when you have nothing.

At first, I just wanted to meet you.

Compare horror stories,

maybe see if maybe he was worth staying with.

Stupid I know.

But then I learned about your hallucinations and--

How?

You were right not to call Danny your friend.

Because she was yours.

I despised what happened to you.

And the moment she told me,

I knew I couldn't end up like that.

I didn't know what to do.

But you knew I'd be the perfect scapegoat.

No one ever believes the battered woman.

I didn't know how I would feel!

I wanted to tell you.

If it looks like a suicide, no one would know.

Then why'd you need me to shoot him?

Because I--

I couldn't.

You're a liar, Cara.

You sent me all of those messages!

You contacted my mom.

You have been fucking with me this entire time!

You. It was you!

Did you really think that Owen would still be obsessed

with you three years later?

The only reason he came to you was to keep you away from me.

He was scared that you were going

to convince me to leave him.

He'd have to care about you to wanna stalk you, Ally.

And he only cares about himself.

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay, you crazy bitch.

You made me this way!

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Baby, baby, look, look, please, please don't do this, okay?

Just look at me, don't do this.

I love you.

Please.

You're so manipulative.

Hey, stay out of this, all right?

This is between me and my wife.

We're done, Ally.

I don't even know why I'm in your head.

You know what?

Fuck him.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

No, no, no.

Hey, baby, baby, look, baby, baby, look at me, look at me.

Okay, okay, look, look, look.

Hey, baby, baby, baby.

We could work this out, okay?

We could work this out, okay?

Look, look, look, look, I, I promise

I will never hurt you again, okay?

Please, please don't do this.

He's lying.

No, no, no, no, no, baby, baby, baby.

Do not listen to her. Look at me, okay?

I love you, I love you.

I love you, all right?

You piece of shit!

You don't know what love is.

Shut the fuck up bitch!

You shut up!

Oh.

Oh, fuck.

You feel that?

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

We can't finally be free from it all.

But first, we have to get rid of the body.

Okay.

We gotta clean up the blood.

I have towels.

Go, go get them.

Cara. Cara, please.

No one can know about this.

I deserve to be free.

Please, Cara.

I'm sorry, Ally.

Request for backup.

10-4.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I am always here for you.

Mm-hmm.

It is completely natural to feel betrayed.

It wouldn't be the first time.

No, it wouldn't.

And I know that you thought Cara was your friend

when she was in fact controlling you.

Isn't that the story of my life?

Well, who's in control now?

You told me that you visited Owen's burial ground.

What was it?

Just dirt.

A bunch of dirt.

Fitting actually.

Huh?

Imagine if that were you under all that dirt,

would you feel buried?

Of course.

What if I told you that that is you

under a mountain of dirt,

Owen and now Cara,

it feels like they buried you.

But what if I also told you that they didn't bury you?

Yeah, you may be under a lot of dirt

and you may even feel like you're suffocating,

but you're not buried.

You're planted.

You can feel buried in this.

And for a while you will.

But you can also choose to grow.

Hey Mom.

Yeah, I'm all right.

Yeah, Charlotte's been good.

Hey, I was wondering if we could do Christmas together.

Yes, I still remember where Uncle Carl lives.

Hey, listen, I have to go, but I'll call you back later.

I love you too.

Bye.

All right, ladies, it's time to start class.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.
