Original subtitles

Thank you guys for letting me crash on your hang time.

Are you kidding?

Anytime, Warren.

I know people say that kind of thing, but I mean it. Thank you, Adam.

It's really nice of you.

I was starting to get kind of lonely sitting at home.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for you to be alone. I was going to meet you at the recording

studio. I thought you'd be there for longer.

We cut it short. We just did the one song.

Then I had to go outside and deal with all these reporters.

They were so mean. They were like a pack of Adrianas.

How did the song go?

You know, at first, I was kind of starting to think that it was a bad idea

to go to the recording studio today.

I was feeling all this pressure from Kelly, and my voice didn't sound that

great. That's what autotune is for.

Kidding. Jokes.

So what happened?

Eddie.

I felt like his... Presence was there. You know, I felt like he was just right

next to me, whispering in my ear, just guiding me.

Well, I mean, Eddie is your muse now.

He is.

He really was there with me today.

I'm so glad.

Are you almost done there, IT guy, with that conversion?

Yep.

Okay. I have a surprise for you.

What kind of surprise?

Hello?

We brought you some food. I thought you should try to eat.

I can't right now.

I still feel like this is only a dream.

I promise you, it's not a dream.

So the whole world really thinks I'm dead?

Yeah, it's been on the news 24-7.

I don't understand.

Then why does everybody think I tried to kill Chloe? It makes no sense.

We don't believe that. It's just what the media keeps repeating over and over,

so it starts to sound true.

I mean, I remember fighting.

It got heated, but I also...

I remember that when I left that apartment, she was definitely alive.

I think they have an eyewitness.

No.

I think I know who's telling the police that I did it.

Chloe? She's in a coma.

No, it's Tyler.

He was there.

That's why you need to stay hidden.

We're scared for you, Eddie.

We don't want to see you out there. Maybe it's just better if we tell the

police and I'll face the charges that they have.

No, I won't do that. You've got to stay hidden. It's for your own good.

It would be my word versus his.

It would be fine.

It's too risky. Leah's right. You have to stay out of sight for a while.

Look, I have to at least call my father and Lauren and let them know that I'm

okay. Who's Lauren?

My girlfriend.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

I mean, your father and her are going to want to come and get you, and the police

could follow them, and then you're done.

It won't be long, Eddie.

How long?

What's wrong? Don't you trust us?

I do.

Okay, and I appreciate everything that you've done, but I have to talk to them.

I have to let them know that I'm okay.

What if they leave the police right to you?

Then it's not just you in trouble, but us too.

Okay, I don't have to tell them where I'm at.

Okay, just try to drink some water, and then we'll discuss this.

Hey, Grace?

I need you to do me a big favor. Of course, boss. What do you need? Just

keep an eye out for that Dylan Boyd guy or his friend of a friend. If he shows

up, please let me know. I need to talk to him. Did you try calling him?

I did, and they haven't answered back.

Did you try his agent?

That too, yeah. She's giving me the runaround.

Probably thinks I'm a crazed fan or something.

And you think he knows what happened with Chloe? Well, you know, he was here

and looking for her, right? He must have seen her.

I'll do anything for you, Max. I told you I'm here for you.

I know. I know. Thank you, and I really appreciate that. You would do the same

for me. If I was in trouble or needed serious help, who would be the first to

offer a hand?

Yeah.

I really hope that you're never in a situation like that, but if you were,

I'd definitely do the same for you.

Eddie would never do that.

I know it's hard to believe, but it's the truth. Eddie pushed you off the

balcony. No, he doesn't have it in him.

Babe, it was like he was possessed by a darkness. Like, I looked into his eyes,

and there was just blackness there. And then he flew into a rage, and then look

what he did to me.

What? Look, I'm scarred, Chloe. I'm scarred. But why would he do that?

Because he knew you were responsible for Katie's death.

That's not how it happened.

I know my Eddie. He's not capable of that kind of violence.

But it wasn't your Eddie. It was like there was a devil inside him. I mean,

how else did you expect him to react after he found out that you ran his mom

off the road?

That's not what happened. Why won't you tell me what happened? Chloe, that is

the truth.

Were you there?

No, but it's pretty easy to put the pieces together.

I remember I went up into Max's apartment and then... And then he

confronted you, and then you told him the truth about the accident, and then

he flew into a rage, and then he came downstairs and tried to kill me. Tyler,

stop it, okay?

There is a piece missing, but I don't know why I can't remember.

Oh, this is unbelievable.

I mean, he tried to kill you and you're still taking his side? Stop it. He

didn't try to kill me, okay?

He didn't try to kill me. What are you doing? You're upsetting her. She's in a

fragile state. You need to leave.

Go.

Hey, Tyler.

Max Duran. I don't know if you're getting my messages. I need to talk to

you urgently.

Call me back when you get this message.

I can do it. I can do it. I can keep working there.

But it is so miserable.

I mean...

a one-eyed monkey could do this job you know it's just been one day i know and

it was the longest day of my life i mean i was so boring i swear i thought the

clock stopped working wait maybe the clock was broken you know did you think

about that the issue is not the clock okay the issue is this soulless life

-sucking job that's the issue you know it'll get better no it won't this is why

i became a juvenile delinquent in the first place so i can make fast cash and

save myself the mind-numbing tedium of punching the clock every day.

Yeah, but, you know, your dad's done really good at his job, right? Yeah,

he's making bank because he's the boss.

Believe me, I've heard the story ten million times about how he worked his

way up from the bottom and how he couldn't afford a pair of sneakers when

he was growing up and how I take everything for granted and blah, blah.

Yeah, my dad likes to tell those cheesy stories, too.

Yeah? Well, my dad's stories are literally about government cheese.

And this whole lesson is that I need to work my way from the bottom and learn a

trade. Okay, so, I mean, what are you saying? You're just going to quit after

the first day?

I don't know if I can keep working there.

Okay, Phil, what are you going to do?

What, just go back to being a full-time thief?

It's Don Masters.

About the problem we discussed.

We can take care of it tomorrow.

Yes, I'm sure. Also, I'm procuring the evidence we need to take care of my

other situation.

I'll be in touch.

Are you serious, Phil?

I have to leave this house, okay? I need to be independent.

I don't want to go to Miami with my dad.

I'll figure something out.

Okay, when? You have to hurry up because I'm not going to wait around much

longer. What does that mean?

Are you going to dump me if I'm not the CEO of a...

A corporation with stock options and an escalade by the end of the summer? I'm

just saying that I am not going to live like a poverty person.

I know. I'm not going to let that happen.

Okay, and I'm not raising a child like that.

So you made up your mind then?

I don't, I guess.

I am not going to give my baby away to some stranger.

It's ours.

So guess who I heard from today?

Who?

Beth. She sent me a letter.

Postmarked, New Orleans.

She's the only person I know who still writes letters.

I miss letters.

I miss mail that isn't this.

What do you want?

I don't know.

Forgiveness?

It was one long, rambling letter of apology for all the things she put me

through. How did she remember it? I thought she burned through all those

brain cells.

I don't know. The way she wrote it, it seemed like these memories have been

haunting her forever.

Maybe she wrote the letter to exercise some of those things.

Do you want to read it?

Nope. That is between you and her. There was another letter enclosed for Melissa.

I haven't read it.

Why would you read a letter that was intended for Melissa?

Habit. I actually had to stop myself.

Did you give it to her? I don't want to give her the letter and have it reopen

all these old wounds or reignite the tension.

I hear you, honey, but you've got to remember it is her letter.

And keeping secrets is what got us here in the first place.

Hopefully it's an apology for disappearing so abruptly.

Well, whatever it is, I'm sure that Melissa can handle it.

Yeah, I just don't think that I should give it to her now, though. Not while

she's helping Lauren through this tragedy.

God, how do you help?

I'm sure Melissa has her own unique plan for how to do that.

Go on, hit play.

Are you okay?

I grappled over whether to show it to you or not.

Lisa thought it was too soon, but I overruled her, partially because she's,

you know, wrong a lot, and partially because I thought it would help.

I thought it might be cathartic. Adam, tell me that word.

Low?

I think it was the work of a true auteur.

It's beautiful, Mel.

It's really beautiful.

Hey, man, what are you doing?

You're going to hurt yourself.

Where's the phone?

I need to tell people that I'm alive.

We don't have a phone.

What do you mean you don't have a phone?

The phone got cut off two weeks ago.

The phone company shut us down because we couldn't pay our bill.

Cell phones, too. We just, we can't afford them anymore.

We're lucky we still have electricity.

It's been a rough time.

Well, you know, parents, who are you people?

We're brother and sister.

Our parents died about a year ago.

I'm sorry.

I know what that's like.

So it's just you two?

Yeah. The farm still belongs to us.

If we can manage to hold on to it.

Where's the closest town?

It's about five miles north.

It's not really a town. It's just a gas station and a couple of stores.

Can you please take me there and let me use the payphone? I need to talk to my

father and my girlfriend and let them know that I'm alive.

You're in no condition to move right now. I can't put you in a car.

He's right. You need to heal.

Then go for me.

Please.

There's people I love, and they have to know that I'm okay.

Okay, give me your dad's number.

I'll go into town and call him.

Thank you.

I thought you might be thirsty.

Oh, thank you.

It's very considerate.

You know what?

I really don't understand you.

What don't you understand?

Well, sometimes you act like a sly, calculating alley cat, and other times

you got the good manners of a choir boy at Sunday Mass.

I can't be both? An alley cat and a choir boy?

How is she?

Pretty much the same.

One moment, a coma kind of looks like the next.

Tyler. But I'm just trying to be light.

It's the only way we're all going to get through this.

Look, I know she's not in a coma. My spies in the hospital told me she

regained consciousness.

So why are you asking me that?

Just to be polite.

I want to see her.

Over my dead body.

She just came out of a coma.

The last thing she needs to do right now is talk to the gutter press. I'm

reporting on the story regardless.

I'd like to hear her side.

All you need to know is that she's out of the coma now and on her way to

recovery. I want to talk to her about Eddie.

What do you need to know? Eddie pushed her off a balcony.

Yeah, and what does Chloe say about it?

Exactly what I just said. And you can read it in the police report. I need a

story before the police report.

I just told you what happened. But that Eddie tried to kill Chloe?

Yeah, and then he felt guilty and he crashed his car.

So why don't you do your job and print that? Look, I can't go on your word,

Tyler. We both know that you're not a trustworthy source.

If you don't want to believe the truth, then why don't you just make something

up? Because that's what you usually do. You know what?

Forget it. All right? You're impossible.

She has the most disgraceful job, digging through other people's garbage.

It's despicable.

So what'd you get together at Chloe's?

I packed up everything I could find into two suitcases.

Why?

Because I knew she'd come back to us.

I come from a place of optimism.

The glass is always half full.

Everything happens for a reason.

Hmm. So you really believe that. You believe Chloe got pushed off a balcony

for a reason.

I know you're mocking me, but maybe there was.

Maybe that was just the push she needed to get her out of this cesspool called

Hollywood.

You weren't totally optimistic, Jackie.

Tell the truth.

All right, true.

I was prepared to get her out of here and take her back home, even if she was

in a coma. But now that she's come to, I can wait until she's well enough.

For what?

I'm going to take her home to Fresno, and you better not stop me.

I'm not going to try to stop you.

I'm coming with you.

Hello?

Mr. Durant?

Yeah. Look, you don't know me, but I have a message for you.

You're... Son is alive.

He's dropped out of sight for a while because he's afraid of getting arrested.

So don't tell anyone until he's proven innocent.

Who are you? Where is he? I can't tell you. Just please know that Eddie's safe.

Hello?

How are you feeling?

Like the guy that stole my car.

He may have ran over me with it first.

I don't think so.

I'm joking.

But that's good that I'm joking, right?

You seem better. Your spirits are higher.

I'm on the road to recovery.

Well, not yet. You still can't move very well.

You'll be amazed at my powers of recovery.

That's not much of a challenge because I'm easily amazed.

Um, I thought I was going to give you a bath.

I am starting to get a little gamey.

I'd love to get cleaned up.

Thanks.

I'll just help you with your shirt.

You okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

You don't understand, Cam. Phil's dad gave him this job that a total bum would

turn down, so now he's totally miserable, and now we can't even afford

to live somewhere remotely nice, so I'm still mooching off of my dad.

Yeah, and on top of that, this alien inside me is growing bigger and bigger

every day.

Wait, seriously.

You're really complaining to me about a pop quiz right now?

You know, I wish that was my biggest problem.

You know, just, Kim, really enjoy high school while it lasts, because nothing's

better than that.

Yeah, um, let's go.

Adriana. What do you want, Dr. Masters?

Where's Phil?

He left.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

Everything.

Hey, champ.

How was the first day?

It was good.

Everyone's really cool.

But it's not in its work, though, you know? I was kind of hoping that I could

do something that required a little more brain power.

Well, you just got to be patient, you know?

I did that job when I first started, and I did well at it, and now I'm the boss.

Yeah, I know, I know.

It's just, you know, any halfway can load boxes on and off a truck. Don't you

think I'd have a better time impressing you if I was doing something I was

really good at?

Well, why don't you tell me what you're good at, Phil, besides grand larceny?

I'm sorry.

I did not mean that, son. You are trying, and I really appreciate that.

I mean, I know that's how you wouldn't see me, just as a thief.

But it's good that the cards are on the table. That's not true.

I'm gonna say this, though. It makes sense why you don't want me to prove

myself.

Because you've already formed your opinion.

That doesn't mean you can't change. I think you can.

Can I?

Look, even if my opinion is that you're incorrigible, why would you not want to

prove me wrong? So you do think that I'm just a no-good crook? I didn't say that.

All you're trying to do is teach me a lesson for getting into trouble.

This isn't a job.

It's a punishment.

You don't think you deserve a little punishment?

So you admit it.

I want you to be successful.

Successful at moving boxes? It's a start. It's a sentence.

But it's good to know where I really stand. Thank you for your candor.

Phil, get back here.

What's going on here?

Why is he so upset?

I made a tactical error.

Hey, how is she?

I'm cautiously optimistic about her progress.

Physically, she's still pretty banged up from the fall. But mentally, she appears

to be alert and have her full faculties.

I am concerned about her memory loss around the time of the accident.

Well, can that mean brain damage?

I doubt it. The MRIs have shown no structural damage.

My guess is automated post-traumatic response.

Do you think she'll be able to remember what happened?

Eventually. But it may take some time and some psychiatric work.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Oh, are you trained in psychiatry?

No, but I'm an actor, and I could... Uh, when can I take her home?

I wouldn't recommend moving her anytime soon.

We still like to run some tests, and I like to keep her under observation for a

while.

Oh, baby.

Look at you. How are you feeling?

Like I fell off a balcony? What are you doing here?

I'm here as a friend. I was worried about you. You know, you could have

died. Lily, you're the last person I want to see right now.

Don't say that. You'll hurt my feelings.

Do you have feelings?

Look, I know that we've had our differences recently, but friendship

trumps everything when tragedy strikes, and you've been dealt a terrible hand

here. I have, haven't I? I mean, this is my second time in the hospital this

year. Yeah, but wasn't your first time because you overdosed?

Lily, please.

I'm sorry. Faked an overdose?

Look, I'm not feeling that well. You may need to leave. I just have one question

for you, Chloe. I can't do this right now.

Where's the nurse? I need the nurse.

Look, just tell me the truth. Get out of here, Lily. Eddie did this to you,

didn't he?

Operator, please.

Hello? Oh, good. A real-life person.

Yeah, I need to have an address for the last incoming number.

Can you help me with that?

I remember stopping at his remote, out-of-the-way gas station.

Got out, started filling up my gas.

Some guy came up to me and asked for my autograph, so I signed it for him.

Then what?

And then I asked him where the bathroom was.

He told me it was around back.

So I walked back there and...

Next thing I know, somebody hit me in the back with a pipe or something.

Oh, no.

Then he hit me in the side and in the throat.

Who was it?

I have no idea.

I never saw his face.

I was barely conscious, I think.

I remember him.

dragging me into this deep ravine.

I thought he was going to kill me.

You poor thing.

And then he kicked me over this rocky edge.

That must have been when I hurt my leg and my arm.

Who would do such a horrible thing?

I don't know.

But he must have wanted my car because he took it.

And then he crashed it.

That's what you told me.

It's karma.

That's what he deserved.

I cannot believe that the world thinks I'm dead. It's just... It's crazy.

I know.

All I can think about is Lauren.

Who?

Lauren. The girl I'm seeing.

The girl I'm in love with.

You changed my life.

I see.

She's all I can think about. It's the only thing that seems to matter right

now.

Do you remember her? There's that dancer that hurt her foot.

Yeah, I always wondered if Chloe was involved with that. I know, me too.

Well, thank you again so much. I'm really so touched.

You're so welcome.

You've got some mad editing skills, too. You should put this online. People

should see it. Or at least send it to some production companies. No, no, no.

This is just for Lauren.

It's a gift.

It's like a video friendship bracelet, you know? It's not for public

consumption.

No, Mel, I actually agree with Adam.

Finally, someone agrees with me.

Yeah, I want people to see it. I mean, I'm...

I'm proud of what Eddie and I had together, and I wouldn't mind sharing it

with the world.

You should post it, dude. People will eat this up. I'm sorry.

Since when am I dude?

Who calls their girlfriend dude?

Me. Okay.

No. I think you should do it.

You know, and if it helps you get some professional context, then that's even

better.

Yeah, sure.

Let's do it. I'm all for that.

Honestly, though, when I first showed you the video, I was a little bit

worried that you were having a breakdown.

I was worried I would have one, too. Okay.

You know, recording the song today really gave me strength.

Eddie was right.

Music can save us.

I cannot wait until I'm driving along and I hear Mars on the radio and be

like, yeah, that's my girl, yeah.

We can always play the demo in your car.

So not the same experience, Adam.

Guys, hold on. I just got a really good idea. What?

Hold on. I have to call back from Kelly.

Okay.

Hey, Kelly.

It's Lauren. I have a really good idea about a concert. My first solo concert.

I think you'll like it. So, um, call me back when you get this.

Okay.

I'm feeling a lot better.

I should let you get some rest.

Why are you doing this?

Doing what?

Helping me.

You don't have to please find me here. You could be implicated.

You should know that.

I guess we feel for you.

Me and Jeremy are musicians, too. We've been playing since we were little kids.

Fans of mine?

No, not really.

I mean, I... I wasn't.

Before, I'm not really a fan of pop music in general, but I'm a fan now.

What changed?

The new songs.

They were just so unexpected.

Just introspective and moody and just beautiful, really.

What new songs?

The ones they released after you died. I mean, after they thought you died.

And they were online, and my friend just, she's a really big fan of yours.

But I didn't start recording yet.

Wait, I have it.

I cannot believe they

released that.

That song's not even finished.

I don't care what anyone says, this is your best work yet.

Yeah, but the fans trashed it, right?

Not everyone.

Most people did.

I want to know what they were saying.

You don't want to know people are mean.

Really?

It's that bad, huh?

Like I said, I love your song.

Oh, I missed you.

Yeah, me too.

What's going on?

Well, um, something very strange happened.

Um, I got a phone call from a young man saying that Eddie's still alive and that

he knows where he is.

What, it was a prank?

I don't know.

Something sounded really sincere in his voice.

Well, did you call the police?

Here's the thing. I don't think I should because the police are going to want to

track him down and then arrest him.

So you think Eddie is really still alive?

Until the DNA test comes back, this is the only thing I have.

Of course, of course. So what do you want to do? How can I help?

Well, I'm going to drive to Ojai.

That's where the call originated.

How do you know that?

Because a number came up on my phone, and I was able to do one of those

reverse listings. So I have an address. It's a pay phone at a gas station.

Even if the call is real, aren't you going to arouse some suspicion if you

drive up there?

If this was happening to Lauren, what would you do?

I would do anything, no matter how big the long shot.

Oh, Eddie is my life.

Let me go with you.

Who told you that Eddie did this to me? Tyler, you should know better.

It isn't just Tyler that's saying it.

Where is he? Where is Eddie? I need to talk to him. I need to see him for

myself. Oh, honey, you don't know?

Don't know what?

Eddie's dead.

No, this is impossible.

Give me the nurse. I need a nurse right now. What are you doing? Get the hell

out of here.

No, tell me it isn't true. Tell me that Eddie's not dead.

What, you told her?

Look, I thought she knew. I'm sorry. How could you do that? Get out of here.

You're unbelievable.

This is impossible. Just tell me that she's trying to upset me. It's not true,

right? I'm sorry, babe.

But it's true. Eddie's gone.

How do you do it, Lily?

What's that?

The nastiness.

The destruction of people's lives.

It's not that bad, Jackie.

No, but it is.

You have to rip apart people's families and relationships to make a story.

Chloe can handle herself.

You should know that.

I'm not just talking about Chloe.

Everyone you report on.

Most of those people are just trying to go about their business.

And they don't need you spreading gossip and rumors and lies about them. You

know, I feel the same way, Jackie. But it's what the people want.

No, they don't. I'm the people.

I'm not some fancy Hollywood movie star.

I'm just an everyday person who's got a real life and real problems.

And I can't stand it.

I really hate what you do.

Beautiful.

successful, smart woman like yourself, I think you should be ashamed.

Yeah, well, I got a mortgage to pay.

I'd like to talk to you. You know, father to daughter.

Sure, what is?

I'd like to have an honest discussion with you. It seems that every time we...

Start getting close, something pulls us apart.

It's because all you see is my faults.

It's like you're looking for them.

It seems like you always expect me to do something bad, but you never take the

time to get to know who I really am.

You might be right.

Maybe I see your mother in you.

I'm not my mother. I would never leave my child.

I know that.

I'd like to repair this.

You and me.

Can we? Well, I'd like to try.

I know what I've been doing. I haven't been there for you. I've been working

too hard. I'd like to make you a priority.

So you're willing to stay in Los Angeles?

No, I can't do that. I've got to take this job I'm in.

Why?

I mean, the clinic is doing really well. We're settled here.

We have this amazing home. Our lives are here, Dad.

Why are you in such a rush to go to Miami? Because I gotta go.

I can't stay here.

You've done something bad, haven't you? No, no, that's not true.

I just... I think it's time for a change.

I just told you I don't want to leave.

All right, then I need a change.

Are you in trouble?

Okay, are you having money problems?

What are you running away from? Okay, I thought that we were going to be honest

with each other right now.

You don't have to know everything, Adriana. Sometimes you got to accept

that I know best.

What are you up to?

Could you go to jail?

Hey.

Hey. Hi, Max.

Hey, sweetheart.

How are you?

Doing better today.

Good, good.

And the next day is going to be better, and the day after that.

Yeah.

Where are you going?

Oh, uh, Max was just going on a road trip, maybe, and I was just seeing him

out. How about you? How was the recording session?

Did everything go okay?

It was good.

Good. Good.

What's going on? Is there news about Eddie?

Why would you think that?

Because you keep answering my questions with questions.

It's classic, Nora.

We don't know anything we didn't know yesterday.

No, something's going on.

And I want to know.

Tell me.

Well...

Nothing is going on, sweetie.

Max just wants to go out of town. He wants to work through some things.

And there's all these wonderful retreats and hiking paths in Ojai. So he was

just, we were talking about heading up there.

Why are you guys acting so weird?

I had asked your mom if she wanted to come with me.

Yeah. Yeah. And I just, I felt a little conflicted about it. Because, and I

don't want to leave you.

Yeah, it was a bad idea. I didn't mean to impose like that.

No.

No, Mom, I think you should go. I think it'd be good for you to get away.

What about you?

I'm doing better today. I, um, you know, went to the recording session, and I

felt close to Eddie, so... Good.

Yeah. Well, maybe I will head up to Ojai then. I mean, I think Max could use the

company.

Yeah, I certainly could. I would love that.

And, Max, I'm actually glad you're here. I had an idea that I wanted to run by

you.

Yeah, sure.

So I was thinking of doing a concert at MK, kind of like a memorial

to Eddie.

Would you be singing?

Yeah.

Are you sure you can handle that?

Yeah.

What do you think, Max?

Well, I don't know if you... Let me think about it. Let me take this trip to

ponder on the idea, yeah?

Okay. Just let me know. Yeah. You know where I'll be.

Okay. Have fun.

I just washed this.

Smells good.

Thank you.

Where have you been?

I told you.

I went into town.

It just seems like you've been gone a long time, that's all.

Why? What'd I miss?

Bath time.

I got you one of those protein shakes.

Thought it might help with your energy.

Thanks.

Did you call my dad?

Yeah. Did you get a hold of him? What did he say? How'd he sound?

He sounded irritated.

That's him.

Yes, I gave you the right number.

What did you say to him? I told him you were alive, but not to tell anyone until

you were proven innocent.

Okay, what about Lauren? Did you call her, too?

No. I was thinking your dad might tell her.

You just told me that you told him not to tell anyone.

Right.

My bad. Sorry.

What's wrong?

Well, I'm...

Never proven innocent.

What if I never get to go back?

No, this can't be true. It's not possible.

It's true.

He was killed in a car accident. His car blew up.

Where?

Up north somewhere.

What was he doing up there?

I don't know. Running away? I mean, who knows what kind of state of mind he was

in after he attacked you. He just snapped.

Eddie would never hurt me.

Maybe it was the guilt.

that made him run all i know is that he lost control of his car and then he flew

off a cliff and it exploded i just i can't hear any more of this look i know

this is hard babe but i'm here okay and i'm not gonna i'm not gonna leave you

this is all your fault it's not and i know you think you need a scapegoat but

it's not me

You just couldn't keep your mouth shut. You had to go tell Lily, and then Lily

had to tell Eddie. You forced my hand, Chloe.

You ruined everything.

It's not ruined. I can fix this.

Eddie's dead.

You did this.

Hola.

Hey.

How's your first day in the salt mines?

Salty. Hey, how's Lauren doing?

Like you really care.

I do.

It's some really, really rough stuff that she's going through right now.

Yeah, it is.

Why do you care? You tried to frame her for stealing a math test.

That was forever ago. Oh, yeah, ancient history.

Come on, Mel.

You act like I haven't changed at all.

A leopard doesn't change its spots.

I should know because I'm still waiting for that leopard print skirt I bought to

change into something wearable.

Well, I have changed.

Like it or not, I'm a different person these days.

I didn't like you then.

And really the only difference I see now is that you're walking around telling

everyone how you've changed and you're a different person, so I'm not really sure

I'm crazy about the new Phil either.

That's real big than that, Mel.

You know, I thought that maybe with all the stuff that's been piled on you

lately that you've changed too.

No, same old me.

Hi, how you doing?

That's disappointing.

I'm sure.

You know, you can fool people some of the time, Phil, but you ain't fooling

me. That's okay.

Maybe one day when you actually grow up, you'll realize how wrong you were.

You know, there is one way that I have changed lately.

I've gotten really, really protective of those two people who raised us.

So whatever you do, new Phil, just don't break their hearts.

Especially Dad's.

He's really sticking his neck out for you this time.

Honey, I'm not going to jail.

I don't want you to worry about that.

Okay, then why are you skipping town?

Come on, skipping town. Listen to you. You make me sound like a criminal on the

lam.

I'm a lamb.

Wait, what?

No, it doesn't mean that.

It means a guy on the run.

Because you are in trouble. You can at least admit that to me. Well, I admit I

got myself into a little bit of trouble, backed into a corner, yes, but I'm

taking steps to get myself out of it, kid.

Why are you being so vague?

I don't want you involved.

Well, I'm involved.

I'm your family.

You know what?

I know that you've had money problems, and I know that as much as you love to

deny it, you were trying to sell those drugs to Colorado.

Listen, some things... Leave it to me.

I know that you're going to get yourself in some really big trouble.

Just please, please don't do anything stupid.

But my head's been in the clouds, I'm acting weird,

and lost for words.

But you wouldn't see me hover in the air like I'm just a daydream. Oh, why does

it feel so far?

Close enough to touch, but you're looking through me in the same room.
