Hey, Mom.
I know, I know. I'm sorry.

I got so busy with the move.

Yup, yup.
I'm still unpacking.

[click]

What are you so worried about?

I'm coaching high school soccer.

I think you're
more nervous than me.

Right, okay, well,
I will tell you all about it.

Amber?

[sighs]

If you're riding with me to
school, we need to get going.

I'm leaving in 15 minutes.

You want me to text you
the reply or...

I'm sensing a little hostility
this morning.

I just don't understand
why we had to leave New York.

You really want to talk
about this right now?

We don't talk about it at all.

Not when you took me in,
not when we moved here.

You're treating me
like I'm a child.

I know everything that
you've been through, okay?

I won't lose it if you want
to talk about mom or dad.

I don't need to talk about it.

Dad was your brother.

I think the best thing for us to
do is just keep going forward.

Okay, we moved here
so we could start fresh, right?

Yeah.

Besides, you have other things
you need to be worrying about.

Who's worried?

You don't think
I'll make the cut?

Of course you'll make the cut.

How 'bout I come to school
this afternoon?

What, like pick me up
after tryouts?

To show you moral support.

You're not gonna yell from
the stands or anything, are you?

Yeah, I was thinking about
bringing a big megaphone

and wearing one of those
big foam hats.

- Aunt Kelly.
- [Kelly laughs]

I promise I won't embarrass you.

I just want to come see
my niece in action, that's all.

- [phone chimes]
- Damn.

You have 10 minutes to get
ready, then we have to split.

One condition.

That phone
can't come to tryouts.

Fine.
It'll keep me hands-free

to do the wave
when you make a goal.

- Whoo, Amber!
- Stop!

- Whoo-hoo!
- Stop it!

[laughs]
Come on.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You're the new coach, right?
The soccer player?

Yup, that's right.
It's me. Coach Dominic.

Dominic Antal.
I know.

I used to watch you all the time
when you played for the Dragons.

You're one of the reasons
I got into soccer.

Wow. Really?

You were great.

Thank you.

You had to quit because
of some kind of injury, right?

Uh, yeah,
something like that.

I'm Madeline Sawyer.
My friends call me Maddie.

I like that. It's very regal.
Lady Madeline.

Well, now I really want
to make the team.

You're trying out today
for the girls' team?

That's the plan.
I'm a little rusty though.

Looks like you're not giving
yourself enough credit.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'll tell you what.
If you do make the team,

you should come out to my clinic
in the park on Saturdays.

I thought that was
just for the boys' team.

I can always
make an exception...

for Dragon's fan.

I would love that.

Great.

[horn blows]

Uh, that is the late bell,
so I've gotta get to class.

- All right.
- Um...

Um, I will see you at tryouts.

Yes.

- Wish me luck.
- Good luck.

- Thank you.
- You'll be great.

Bye!

KELLY: So the investor meeting
went well, huh?

GIBSON: You gave him
the hard sell too soon.

Also, don't ever ask the crowd,
"Do I look like a moron?"

- They're gonna say yes.
- I don't have time for finesse.

- We're bleeding cash.
- Wait.

I thought that Saturn Bank
Investments was a sure thing.

Well, hopefully.

- What?
- Maybe.

If we get them on board,
it'll be a $5 million runway.

If we don't, I may have
to go out on the streets

and start dancing for quarters
and stock options.

Great. I think what you need
to do is to define what we do

a little bit better.

Is Digital Art Haven
a social media site?

Is it a user content-driven
art site?

It's both. It's a social
media site for artists

to connect
and display their work,

plus they get a piece of
the ad revenue for site traffic.

Why am I explaining this to you?
We're partners.

Exactly, but when we formed
this little partnership,

you said that you would be
in charge of finances,

I would be in charge
of programming the site.

Isn't that the reason why you
moved all the way out here,

so that you can talk
to the investors in person,

help me run things hands-on?

Can we switch places?

[laughs]
No.

So should I start
printing out my resume?

We'll get investors.

I've seen companies
a lot worse off

get financed
right at the last second.

What am I gonna do about Amber?

Way to change the subject,
partner.

She hates me
for moving her out here.

She even brought it up
this morning.

She does not hate you.

She's just angry,

and she's still dealing
with losing her parents.

I know. Me too.

I wanna do right
by my brother and her.

Amber is 17.

This is the last year she'll get
to hang around her family

before she has to grow up
and go off to college.

You're just gonna have
to be patient.

Believe me, I'm trying.

Are you hanging out with her?

I'm going to watch her try out
for the girls' soccer team.

I think she wants
to get into college

on an athletic scholarship.

Plus it's something she used
to do with her parents.

Means a lot to her.

I wanna help.

Okay.

But what the hell
do you know about soccer?

Not a damn thing.

- Good luck with that.
- I'm gonna need it.

Whoo! Amber!

You go, girl!

- Good shot!
- Thanks.

You're new here?

Yeah, I just moved here
a couple weeks ago.

I'm Madeline Sawyer.
Call me Maddie.

Amber Halligan.
Nice to meet you.

Did anyone come
to watch you play?

Yeah, my aunt.
She's right over there.

You guys should definitely
come to my apartment

for some coffee sometime.

- Your apartment?
- Mm-hmm.

- How old are you?
- I just turned 18.

Lucky you.

I've been emancipated
for a little while now.

I reiterate: Lucky you.

That wasn't really my choice.

My parents died
a couple years ago,

and I didn't have any close
relatives to live with,

so here I am.

My parents died too.

It was a car crash
a few months ago.

That's why I'm with my aunt now.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, unfortunately, it looks
like we have a lot in common.

Yeah.

So you live by yourself?
What's that like?

It's the only way to fly.

I bet.
You need a roommate?

- No.
- No? Okay.

[laughing]

But we should definitely
hang out sometime.

I'll show you the town,
introduce you to a few people,

maybe we could party
a little bit.

I'd love that.

- Ah, cool.
- [whistle blows]

Okay, ladies!

For those of you
that don't know me,

I'm Coach Hendricks.

For those of you
that do know me,

you know I expect you
to follow my instructions,

so line up
for your evaluations.

KELLY: Amber, hi.

Hey!

- Didn't you hear me?
- Yes, I heard you.

What's wrong?
You were great out there.

You're embarrassing me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't do great. I missed
three goals out of five.

Well, it looked great to me.

What do you know about soccer?

I know enough to know
that you were great.

A lot better than
some of those girls out there.

Look, I don't think
I made the cut.

Let me track down one of
the coaches. I'll find out.

No, no, no, Aunt Kelly.
Aunt Kelly, no.

[knocking]

[clears throat]

You're not supposed
to be in here.

Yeah, I tried to get your
attention out on the field.

I take it your daughter just
tried out for the girls' team.

Niece, actually. That's what
I wanted to talk to you about.

You're the school's gym coach?

I'm the soccer coach.

Coach Hendricks
is the regular gym coach.

How can I help you?

Look, my niece is
Amber Halligan.

I was hoping you could tell me
whether or not she made it.

Well, we probably won't have
postings up for another week.

A week? Really?

[sighs]

I'm gonna level with you.

We just moved here
from New York.

She's been through a lot.

She's having trouble
making friends.

She loves soccer.

She needs this.

- Believe me, ma'am...
- No.

At least "Ms. Halligan."
My name's Kelly.

I'm not that formal.

Believe me, Ms. Halligan,

if I can tell you
who made the team, I would.

You like coffee?

I'll buy you one
in exchange for an answer.

Wow. A whole coffee, huh?

Venti. I'll even add
an extra shot of espresso.

[laughs]

Seriously though,
if I could I would, all right?

The best I can do
is I can tell you

whether it looks like she might
make the team, all right?

And I shouldn't even
be doing that,

so it's our little secret, okay?

My lips are sealed.

Good.

- Amber Halligan, right?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, here we go.

And?

Looks good.

She scored pretty high
in everything but goals.

Is that gonna be a problem?

It looks like
she'll make the team,

but she definitely needs
to work on her accuracy.

Poor thing. She practices
every day for hours.

Coach, I'm so sorry
about this.

You must be Amber.

I apologize in advance
for anything my aunt said.

Really, it's fine, really.

I was telling her about your
prospects in making the team,

which look pretty good.

You have natural talent,
especially with blocking.

You just need a little extra
practice on your accuracy.

- We can do that.
- Aunt Kelly...

Well, I'll tell you what.

I run a soccer clinic
in the park on Saturdays.

Right now it's just
for my boys' team,

but I just took on a player
from the girls' team.

Rate's reasonable.

We'll make it work.

It's up to you.
What do you think?

Do you really think
it'll help?

If your game doesn't improve
in six weeks,

and I mean improve dramatically,

give you a full refund.

Or you'll owe me a coffee.

I believe you already
owe me coffee, Ms. Halligan.

I'm better off not knowing.

I got those ice cream cones
you like.

I can't believe
you acted like that today.

What do you mean?

"Oh, Dominic, we should go out
for coffee sometime."

I'm an actual teenager.

You acted more like a teenager
than I do around cute boys.

It was embarrassing.

So...

That's his name? Dominic?

You're paying him to coach me
and don't even know his name?

I thought I'd bring it up
in a casual way,

like when I write him
a check or something.

You're hopeless.

Yes, his name is Dominic.
Dominic Antal.

But everyone calls him
Coach Dominic.

He's new here, right?

Yeah. What's with
all the bizarre qu...

No. No way.

You're gonna ask him out?
Really?

Come on, Amber.

I can't deal with this
right now.

You keep reminding me
you're almost an adult,

and how I'm supposed
to treat you like a grownup,

and here you are
acting like a child.

You want me to sit here
and hear about

how you have a thing
for Coach Dominic?

I don't have a thing
for anybody.

Where is this coming from?

- Like you care.
- I do care.

I'm your aunt.

Soccer's something
I do for me.

I used to do it
with mom and dad.

I'm trying.

I came to support you today.

Stop trying.
I didn't even want you to come.

[sighs]

You're still here?

Hey.

Yeah. Just taking advantage
of the free weights.

One of the perks
of the job, right?

Surprised you're still here.

Well, I was on my way
out the door

when I saw the light on
in the gym.

Look, I'm glad I caught you.

We should talk about
a few things,

a few important things.

Okay, sure, I just really
need a shower right now,

so maybe first thing
Monday morning?

No, actually,
I'd prefer to...

[clears throat]

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I just had an incident with
a peanut in some salad today.

[coughs]
Allergic reaction.

It just took the wind
out of my sails.

- You want me to call somebody?
- I said I'm fine.

Look, just go ahead
and have your shower,

and we'll still
have that talk.

Okay, first thing
Monday morning.

Promise.

[shower running]

- Hey, Coach Dominic.
- Hello again, Madeline.

Hi. Been waiting out here
for hours.

I take it you're pretty excited
to start your training.

It's gonna be weird though,
being the only girl here.

Actually, you won't be.

Amber Halligan
also joined the clinic.

Hm. Great.

Hey, I was wondering,
could I get your phone number?

I just wanna make sure
that I can contact you

if I'm gonna be late
or something.

Yeah, sure.

Great.

I'd just appreciate it
if this stayed between us.

Yeah, oh, yeah.

Believe me,
I'm great at keeping secrets.

Here.

- Thanks.
- See you out there.

Yeah.

Hi, Coach.

Oh, hey there, Amber.
Glad you can make it.

Aunt Kelly sends her regards.

Ah, right, thanks, thanks.

Great, well,
why don't you go out there,

get stretched out
before we start.

Gonna be a pretty crazy day.

Can't wait.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Looks like
we both made the team.

No thanks to my aunt.

She practically tackled
Coach Dominic in his office

and forced him to tell her
whether or not I made the team.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

Pretty sure she has a crush
on him or something.

- Afternoon, ladies.
- Oh, my God.

You just moved here, right?

I've seen you around school.

Beat it, Riley.
Whatever you're selling,

we're not buying it.

I just wanted to introduce
myself to your new friend here.

Hi, I'm Riley Jones,
team manager.

Amber.

Hold on, what?
Team manager?

Who the hell gave you
that kind of responsibility?

What can I say?

I guess Coach Dominic knows
real talent when he sees it.

He asked me to help with the
soccer clinic on the weekends.

Next week, I start helping out
with the team during practice.

There goes our winning streak.

[Maddie laughs]

That's cold, Maddie.

Oh, you're still here?

See you around, Amber.

Nice meeting you.

He's pretty cute.

He asked me out once.

You went out with him?

No! I am into men,
not boys.

[blows whistle]
All right.

Looks like everyone's here.
Let's line up.

Arm's length apart.
Start some drills.

That's more my type.

Isn't he a little old?

I'm 18.
You know what that means, right?

It's all legal.

Besides, when you're in love,

age doesn't really
make a difference.

Okay.

Hey, Coach,
where's freshman orientation?

- It's just right down the hall.
- Okay, thank you.

[clearing throat]

Hey, there, Coach.

Just heading out to lunch.
Gonna run some errands.

You said first thing
Monday morning, and here we are.

Right. Here we are.

You know,
I told the school board

it was a bad idea hiring some
hotshot soccer coach, right?

I had everything covered
just fine on my own.

What are you talking about?

You can't use your position here
to make money on the side.

How am I using
my position here?

You think you can just
stroll in here

with your FIFA trophy
and take over this place?

Think again.

I know you're running
some soccer clinic or whatever

on the weekends.

It's a clear
conflict of interest,

you being a faculty member.

It's not like I'm using school
equipment or school property,

and the school
even knows about it.

I have a permit from the city
to use the park.

You are conning these kids
and their parents.

I'm not conning anyone.
I'm improving their game.

It's no different
than any other tutor.

Oh, right, tutor.

I hear you're tutoring
two of my female players now.

So?

I'm putting in a recommendation

that they kill your contract
after this year.

Yeah, I bet you like all these
little girls and their mothers

chasing after you
like some fan club.

Do you think
that's appropriate behavior

for a high school teacher?

Yeah, word gets around.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You got some kind
of personal problem with me?

Well, you know what?

You might fool some of these
local school board jag-offs

with that
"Aw, shucks" routine,

but you do not fool me.

We done?

Yeah.

We're done.

Watch yourself.

Knock, knock, knock.

Gibson, unless you're here to
tell me the building's on fire,

I'm gonna pretend like
you're in your office,

helping me fix
this header code.

How'd the soccer thing go?

About as great
as this morning.

We got into a fight, and she
hasn't spoken to me since.

I gave her this big chunk
of money for this soccer clinic,

and when I drop her off
for practice,

she acts like I'm sending her
off to military school.

I give up.

This soccer clinic,

it wouldn't happen to be run
by a handsome-sounding gentleman

by the name of Coach Dominic?

How did you know that?

He's on line one.

Something about
you writing him a check

on a closed bank account
from New York.

Oh, damn it.

I must've used my old checkbook.

You could have led
with him being on the phone.

See if he runs a dating clinic.

We're not dating.
I talked to the guy one time.

This is Kelly Halligan.

I'll let you have
your privacy. Go.

- Hey, Coach.
- Hey.

- Hello again, Ms. Halligan.
- Kelly, please.

I'm so sorry about
the mix-up with the checks.

I thought I threw out my old
checkbook a long time ago.

No, it's no problem at all.

I was depositing checks
on my way to work,

and the bank flagged that one.

Well, this is from
the right account, I promise.

Thank you,
but like I said on the phone,

you could have
just mailed me a new one.

This is faster.

It's the least I could do
after the trouble I caused.

It's no trouble.

I was just
on my way out to lunch,

and I've been wanting
to try this new spot,

if you wanna join me.

I might be able
to sneak away.

I promise I won't
keep you too long.

I'm the boss. It's fine.

All right.

Hi, Coach Hendricks.

Do you mind
if I talk to you real quick?

I'm eating.

It'll only take a minute,
I promise.

Okay, have a seat.

How can I help you,
Ms. Sawyer?

Well, it's more about how
you can help Coach Dominic.

Oh, okay.

I think you should stop
threatening him.

Excuse me?

Back the hell off.

[laughs]

First of all, you need to change
your tone, young lady.

And second of all, 18 or no,
you're a student here.

I think it's
kind of improper for you

to be mixed up in this,
don't you?

How... How is it improper?

He is a great coach.
Everybody likes him.

Great coach, my ass.

It's bad enough that
the school is letting him

run his soccer clinic
on the weekends here.

I don't care if he used to be
a professional player or not.

Now, you get back to class
and stop causing trouble,

or I will suspend you.

Fine.

Close the door
on the way out.

I hate children.

[clears throat]

[coughing]

[continues coughing]

Looking for something, bitch?

[gasping]

Hmm.

Hey.

You scared the hell out of me.

- I'm sorry about that.
- It's okay.

We really didn't get a chance
to talk last weekend.

I guess we didn't.

I kinda wanted to pick things up
where we left off.

Your timing's really lousy,
you know that?

Come on.

Okay, you have 30 seconds.

Okay, well, like I said,
I just, I wanted to talk.

You play soccer,
I play soccer.

Is that really
the best you got?

Can I start over?

I'm not so bad
once you get to know me.

Okay.

Why not? I'm a sucker
for a hard-luck case.

Actually, I wanted to talk to
you about something important.

Maddie.

Maddie?

Yeah.

How well do you know her?

I met both of you
at the same time.

You guys seem like
you were pretty chummy.

It's called making friends,

which is what I thought
you were trying to do here.

Did she mention that she
lost both of her parents

in a house fire
a couple years ago?

Yeah, she did.

That's messed up, right?

Last year I went on
a couple dates with her.

Total head case.

I heard differently.

I heard you asked her out once,
and she said no.

What?

She said that?

No, we actually went out.

What, she dumped you?

Kind of.

I don't know. It was weird.

I think both her parents dying
really did a number on her.

Both my parents died, too.

You think it
did a number on me?

God, I'm... I'm sorry.

- I didn't mean to...
- No, it's fine.

What do you mean,
it was weird?

Well, I can't say for sure,

but I think she's got a crush
on Coach Dominic.

- So?
- So?

She starts going
to his soccer clinic,

and she's the only girl there,
except for you.

Are you serious?

Believe me, I have zero interest
in Coach Dominic.

If she wants him,
she can have him.

Are you just being nice to me
to get back at Maddie?

No. No.

It took me a week to work up
the nerve just to talk to you.

So then why are you wasting it
by talking about her?

You don't believe me?
Nobody else believes me either.

Look, I know I can get on
people's nerves sometimes...

okay, a lot of the time...

but I'm telling you

there's something
seriously wrong with her.

RILEY:
Just watch yourself, okay?

Thanks for the advice.

[sighs]

And now I'm officially late
for English.

If I got proof,
would you believe me then?

What do you mean, proof?

RILEY: Never mind.

Look, next time,
if you want to ask me out,

just ask me out.

Wait.

You wanna go out?

I said next time.

This is a cute little place.

I've seen it a few times.
I've always wanted to try it.

Can't remember the last time
somebody bought me lunch.

- I find that hard to believe.
- It's true.

I'm more or less the legal
guardian of a teenage girl,

divorced,
own my own business.

It scares guys off.

You haven't scared me off yet.

Not yet.
[laughs]

Amber's a great kid.

Unfortunately, we're not really
getting along that great lately.

She got strapped with me
when her parents died.

I uprooted her and moved her
all the way out here.

You know,
I moved around a lot

when I was younger
with my family.

It can be tough.

That's the first thing
you've said about yourself.

There's not a lot to tell,
you know?

I got recruited and
played soccer out of college,

helped win a few trophies.

- Couple is a few.
- [chuckles]

After my injury, I decided
to give coaching a shot.

Here I am.

Is that always
what you wanted to do?

Yeah.

Soccer's been my whole life.

How 'bout you?

I'm doing what I always
wanted to do.

Be my own boss,
run my own company.

Very noble pursuit.

When I took Amber in,
I decided to move cross country

and run my business hands-on
with my partner, so here I am.

It sounds like you're handling
everything very well.

I make a much better aunt
than I do a mom.

I'm worried that I'm just
making things worse for her.

She's smart, and she's probably
more mature than you realize.

These teenagers, they have
coping skills on par with us,

maybe even better.

For what it's worth,

I think Amber seems
extremely well adjusted.

I hope so
'cause at this rate,

I may end up locking her in room
till she's 30.

This was good.

This was fun.

We should do it again
sometime.

Well, we've done lunch,

so next time maybe
some sort of a dinner?

What about tomorrow night?

Maybe eight-ish?

I think I know a place
with a great view.

Sounds great.

- [phone chimes]
- Yeah. Oh.

Is everything okay?

The principal just texted me.

Coach Hendricks has been
sent to the hospital.

Seems pretty serious.
I should probably get back.

I'm so sorry.

Uh, so tomorrow night then.

- It's a date.
- All right.

I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah.

I think.

Hey, did you get my text?

I was thinking about
hitting up the mall later.

Yeah, sorry about that.

I just have a lot of homework
right now.

I'm taking all AP classes.

Is that a yes
to the mall thing?

I'd love to,
but I'm just swamped right now.

Maybe another time?

You bet.

We'll do that.

[whistle blows]

Ladies, I have an announcement
to make before we start.

As I'm sure
some of you probably heard,

Coach Hendricks
is in the hospital.

She had an allergic reaction.
She's in a coma.

We're not sure
if she's gonna come out of it.

So until she does recover,
or they hire somebody else,

I'm gonna be running practice.

Okay, so for today,
let's, uh...

try to have a good one
for Coach.

- All right?
- Yeah!

Line up. Get some
individual drills going.

GIRL: I'm open! I got it!

[Maddie groans]

- You all right?
- Maddie?

- Oh, God.
- You all right?

- Hey, where does it hurt?
- My ankle.

You think you can put
any pressure on it at all?

Let me try.

- Uh, mm-mm, no.
- All right.

I'm gonna take a look at it.
Let's get to the locker room.

Yeah.

Amber, why don't you
have the girls pair up

and do passing drills, okay?

Come on.

Any pressure at all?

Just like a little.

[Maddie groans]

- This hurts.
- Yeah. Thank you.

- Let's get you down here, okay?
- Okay.

There you go.

- [groans]
- Sorry about that.

It's all right.

How does that feel?

It's a little tender.

Well, I think you might have
sprained it a little.

It doesn't feel too swollen.

I don't know.
It just hurts.

Your hands feel nice, though.
You should keep doing that.

I shouldn't be in here.

Everyone will understand,
under these circumstances.

Still, I should probably go.

Anything I can get for you
before I leave?

Uh, maybe a cold pack
or some ice.

A cold pack.

For the swelling.

Right.

- Right.
- Yeah.

You know, I remember
my first soccer injury.

Actually, I broke my arm
trying to block a goal.

To this day, I still don't know
how I did it.

Must of just fell on it wrong.
Hurt like hell.

I heard they could hear me
screaming from the next town.

How long were you out?

Six weeks.

It was a clean break.

Tell you what, though,
when it happens to you,

it doesn't matter.

Found it.

Maddie?

What are you doing?

Changing.

Why?

Maddie, come on. You need to
put your clothes back on.

Have you never been in a room
with a naked woman before?

Not my students, no.

Is there something wrong
with me?

No.

Then I fail to see
the problem.

It's highly inappropriate, okay?

Put it on.

Dominic, I told you.

I'm good at keeping secrets.
How 'bout you?

Maddie, I'm seeing someone.

Who?

None of your business.

I'm... I'm sorry. Um...

Coach Hendricks getting sick
must've really messed me up.

I think my ankle's
feeling better.

Good. Okay, well, I should
get back on the field then.

Dominic, I am so sorry.
I messed everything up.

Go see a school nurse, okay?

DOMINIC: Told you it was
a great view.

Nice dinner, too.

Sushi and coffee.
Can't beat that combo.

It is so quiet out here
when there's nobody around.

I'm still getting used
to living out here.

Why'd you move here,
if you don't mind me asking?

Honestly, I just wanted
to get as far away as possible.

From what?

I don't know.

Dealing with everything.

Everywhere I'd look,

I'd see a memory of
my brother Frank or his wife.

I just wanna focus on work.

I just thought me and Amber
could move out here,

we could just put everything
behind us, you know?

DOMINIC: So do you guys
get along?

She's probably at home now,
thinking up new ways to hate me.

I think she's mad at me
for talking to you.

No, I get it. I could see how
that could be weird for her.

Is this weird,
me and you?

No.

I think this could be
something wonderful.

Say that again.

I think...

that this could be
something wonderful.

Good. Just wanna make sure
it wasn't just me.

It's not just you.

[door opens, closes]

[beeping]

[beeping]

I gotta tell Coach Dominic
about this.

Amber.

Close.

Maddie, what the frick?

I somehow thought you were
gonna be happier to see me.

What are you doing here?

Oh.

I was the one that wrote
the text message.

- You sent that message?
- Mm-hmm.

Why would you pretend to be
Amber just to get me out here?

I wanna know what you
and Little Miss Buttercup

were talking about
at school today.

Are you serious?

You set this whole thing up
just to ask me that?

I didn't even see Amber today.

I happened to be walking by

while you two were having
quite the conversation,

and since we both know that
she is way out of your league,

I'm pretty sure you two weren't
setting up your first date.

You know what?
You're right.

I asked her out,
and she shot me down.

No. Try again.

That's it.
I swear to God, Maddie.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Don't bother yelling.

I've been circling this park
for an hour. Now we're alone.

Now I want to hear you say
the correct answer, okay?

And that is?

Maddie, please stop.

No, that's not
the correct answer.

Here's the correct answer.
You say, "I was..."

I was.

"warning..."

Warning.

- "Amber..."
- Amber.

- "about you."
- Please! Maddie...

Say "about you."

About you!

See? That wasn't so hard.

[laughs]

So you're not gonna kill me?

No. What?

For talking to Amber? No!

But I did know you were
in my apartment today,

and I just can't
have you doing that.

[groaning]

Good morning.
I'm Andrade. This is Mauro.

We got called in
from Robbery-Homicide.

Looks like we're in charge.

You won't be here long.
CSI finished sweeping the park.

Once the coroner gets here for
the body, we'll be packing up.

Mind if we take a look
at the vic?

Yeah, be my guest.

Who reported this?

A jogger. He found it
around six this morning.

He flipped out and called 911.
All we know right now.

He have any ID on him?

A driver's license.
Riley Jones, 17 years old.

His address is about
three blocks from here,

so he probably
walked to this spot.

No cash or credit cards
in the wallet.

Could've been
a mugging gone bad,

except we found this
in his hand.

We'll have to have one of
our computer guys look at this.

I don't think
the phone's locked.

We tested it
before we bagged it.

Looks like the vic was texting
somebody before he died.

- You guys photograph the scene?
- Yeah.

Mind if I take a look
at the body?

Knock yourself out.

Oh, okay.

We got a single stab wound
at the sternum.

Probably bled out internally.

- That's a hell of a way to go.
- Consistent with the mugging?

I don't know. He's got no marks
on his hands or arms,

no defensive wounds.

Kid looks like
an athlete, right?

Why didn't he try
to defend himself?

- He got jumped?
- Nah.

This happened
right in front of him.

A mugger comes directly
at you with a knife,

you throw your hands out
to protect yourself.

Your hands get cut up.

No.

This guy knew his attacker.

CSI grabbed a bunch of
hair samples off of him, too.

They were in his hand like he
pulled them out on his way down.

It's gonna take a while
to test them out, though.

Hey, Andrade,
you might wanna see this.

He was waiting for somebody.

We gotta get a search warrant
for phone records, pronto.

Yeah.

Boom.

What's that?

Terms...

- from Saturn Bank Investment.
- No!

They had them delivered
about 15 minutes ago.

We officially have financing.
We're still business.

Where is everybody?
I called a staff meeting.

It's lunchtime.
Everybody's out at lunch.

The only reason why I'm here

is because I'm the one
who does real work,

therefore unable to enjoy
my delicious chicken parmesan

from last night.

This is a joke, right?

Nope.
$4 million cash infusion,

plus we retain
controlling stock.

I have to look it over
with our lawyer, but...

The company's saved?

- Indeed it is.
- Yes!

I just want you to know
that I never lost faith in you,

even when I was doing research

for my unemployment benefits
online.

Thanks.

Wow. Too bad everybody's gone.
We need to celebrate.

- Yes.
- Hold on.

Oh, let me guess.

Calling Mr. Soccer Coach?

- [laughs]
- [line ringing]

- Tell him Gibson said hey.
- Shh.

Hi. You've reached
Dominic's phone.

Leave a message.

No answer, hmm?

He's probably out on the field.
No big deal.

Oh, but he was the first person
you decided to call.

- It's no big deal.
- Of course not.

You guys have been out on,
what, two dates?

Any sleepovers?

- None of your business.
- [laughs]

Call him again!

It's definitely Riley Jones.

It says it right here
on my news feed.

What was he doing in the park
that late?

I have no idea.

Probably buying drugs.

Excuse me.

Damn it, Riley,
I told you to leave me alone.

Are you Amber Halligan?

Yeah, that's me.

I'm Detective Andrade
from Robbery-Homicide.

I need you to come down
to the precinct with us.

Why? What's wrong?

It's better if we discuss this
somewhere else.

I'm not going anywhere
without my aunt.

Sure. Why don't we call her,
have her meet us there?

ANDRADE: Thank you
for coming down today.

AMBER: What is this about?

We just have a few questions
we'd like to ask you,

a few things
we need to clear up

for an ongoing
criminal investigation.

Since you're a minor,

we have to have a parent
or your guardian present.

Also, I'd like to inform you
that we are gonna record this.

It's really just routine stuff.

KELLY: Doesn't sound like
routine stuff.

Sounds like you're about
to arrest her for something.

I want to call my lawyer
before you go any further.

Do you think she needs a lawyer?

Depends what's going on here.

Amber, do you know a young man
named Riley Jones?

Yes.

I mean, we go
to the same school,

and we have Saturday afternoon
soccer practice together.

It's not like
we're friends or anything.

His body was discovered
this morning

at the park downtown.

He's dead.

KELLY: What does that
have to do with Amber?

ANDRADE: We believe that
Mr. Jones was on his way

to meet with Amber
when he was killed.

Killed?

Amber, you sent him
a text message.

You asked him to meet you at
the park at midnight last night.

I don't even have his number.

How do you know it was her?

We believe somebody
resembling your niece

purchased a disposable phone
for cash

at around 5:30 yesterday.

We have...

pictures.

That's not me!

Really?

Same body type,
same hair color.

Anyway, we assume that
the person in this picture

sent Mr. Jones a text,

and I'd like
to read you the text.

"We need to talk about earlier.

Meet me in the park at midnight.

Amber."

So at this point,
we do believe

that Mr. Jones met you
in the park where he was killed,

stabbed and left to die.

I-I don't know
what's going on.

I didn't send that message.

She was at home in bed
last night.

Are you sure?

I didn't check on her,
but I'm relatively sure

that she would not
sneak out of the house.

ANDRADE: Amber, we spoke
to a few of your classmates.

They said they saw you talking
to Mr. Jones a few days ago

in the same spot
where we approached you,

right outside the school.

They said you were having
a heated conversation.

I liked him.
I would never have hurt him.

Well, apparently,
something was so important

for Mr. Jones to meet you
late at night in the park.

I didn't send that text message.
I didn't kill Riley.

KELLY: She's not answering
questions without a lawyer.

Ms. Halligan, I don't think you
understand the seriousness of...

- What's up?
- We need to talk.

Excuse me for one minute.

What is it?

Cut her loose.

Are you serious?

The only thing we don't have
is a murder weapon.

We're probably just one
search warrant away from that.

The analysis of those
hair fibers we found

in the kid's hand,
they're synthetic.

- So the murderer wore a wig.
- That's not all.

We showed Halligan's picture
to the convenience store clerk.

He says it wasn't her.

Let's do a lineup.

It wasn't her, Andrade.

All we have is one blurred
security camera image

and her name
in a text message.

What about all the witnesses
in school that we spoke to,

said they saw the both of them
arguing yesterday?

They also said they saw him talk
to four or five other girls

around Amber's age yesterday.

The vic was a horny little
teenage bastard.

We got nothing.

Well, we got our work
cut out for us then.

- How so?
- If it's not this kid,

it's probably somebody
that's got it out for her.

Are you gonna talk to me
about this?

I think I deserve
an explanation

after I had to go down
to the police station

and damn near watch you
get arrested for murder.

They said I was free to go.
That means I didn't do it.

I think you're
missing the point here.

What is the point?

That I might've embarrassed you
or ruined your precious business

'cause that's all
you really care about.

You know that's not true.

I wanna live with
a foster family or emancipate.

No.

I'm 17.
I'm old enough.

Your father was my brother.

I loved him.

He was my family.

I loved your mother, too.

I know what you're
going through.

I know you didn't
wanna move here,

but I didn't have a choice.

I'm doing the best I can
for us.

I don't have any experience
being a mom to you.

I'm at the end of my rope.

Then let me go back
to New York.

I'm so tired.
I'm tired of fighting with you.

I'm tired of you always being
angry with me and hating me

because I'm the only person
you have left to hate.

You and I,
we don't have anybody else.

This is it.

You really wanna go live alone?

You want to spend the last year
of your childhood

in some foster family,

instead of with the person
who actually loves you

and wants to take care of you?

Don't throw me away.

I would never do that to you.

I haven't seen you get upset
since the funeral.

I thought I could put your mom
and dad's stuff behind me,

but I can't.

Not yet.

And you shouldn't either.

I was wrong about that.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's gonna be okay.

Hey, I heard what happened.
You guys okay?

We will be.

Are you sure you're okay
to be here at school?

I can drop you off at home
or something.

Yeah, I think
your aunt's right, Amber.

I think you should maybe
take a little time off.

No, I'd rather just
keep my mind busy right now.

Call me if you wanna
leave early, okay?

Okay.

- I love you.
- Love you, too.

How about you?

How are you holding up?

I just lost a student.

He was a good kid.

I know. I'm sorry.

[glass shatters]

I don't know who would do this.
I didn't see anybody.

- Why are the police here?
- Excuse me for a minute.

It's nothing.
Why don't you go back to bed?

As soon as you tell me
what's going on.

Somebody threw a rock
through the window.

Are you serious?

It was probably just
one of the neighborhood kids.

You're a terrible liar.

I need you to go back to bed
and stop worrying.

You've been through enough
stress the past couple days.

Do you know who did it?

Not yet,
but they just told me

there's a patrol car
in the neighborhood,

and they're keeping an eye
on everything.

Just go back to bed.

Please.

Come on.

Good night.

- Detective Mauro?
- That's right.

Since when does a homicide
detective investigate vandalism?

My partner and I are still
working on the Riley Jones case.

The precinct called me
as soon as your name came up.

KELLY: This has something to do
with that boy being killed?

MAURO: It's too early to say.

What do you know about
this Dominic Antal?

They're trying to reach him
right now.

Obviously, he's connected
to this in some way.

We've gone out a few times.

Do you know if he has
any ex-wives or ex-girlfriends

who might still be
in the picture?

Ex-boyfriends even?

We didn't talk about
his dating history.

Would he you know
if he owes money to anybody,

maybe somebody who's not
on the up and up?

I don't understand
this line of questioning.

I'm gonna level with you,
Ms. Halligan.

Mr. Antal is
the common denominator

between you, your niece,
and Riley Jones.

He's not the suspect here,
but whoever is

is targeting people in his life
and specifically you and Amber.

Once we have a chance
to talk to him,

we'll know more ourselves.

I've tried to call him.
He's not picking up his phone.

If you do get ahold of him,
please tell him to call us.

Maybe I should tell him
to call a lawyer, too?

He's not in any trouble here.

Is he in danger?

That I don't know.

Hey, heard the cops questioned
you about Riley the other day.

Everybody at school's
talking about it.

It was terrible.

How could somebody
do that to him,

just kill him in cold blood?

Yeah, I'm trying not
to think about it, okay?

Hey, I have something that might
take things off your mind.

- You know Camille Adams?
- Yeah.

She's having a huge pool party
this weekend.

Her parents are out of town.

There's gonna be
a deejay, hot guys,

enough booze to drop
a bull elephant.

No, thanks. I can't even imagine
partying right now.

- [whistle blows]
- DOMINIC: Everyone listen up.

So in light of
the recent tragic events

involving
our good friend Riley,

school board has asked me

to temporarily stop holding
my clinic here in the park.

What?

DOMINIC: It's okay.

They said it's only
gonna be temporary,

just till this all
gets sorted out.

I have your contact information.

I'm gonna reach out to you again
as soon as we can meet here.

In the meantime,

try to enjoy
the rest of your Saturday.

Please,

for my sake

and especially
for your own,

be careful out there.

Well, that's a bummer.

Riley's dead, Maddie.

You're acting like
you don't even care.

He's dead.
Everybody needs to get over it.

Maddie, you ready to go?

Coach Dominic!

I mean, Maddie?
What happened to Lady Madeline?

I guess I'm not
in a very good mood tonight.

Coach, you're supposed to be
my knight in shining armor.

I got your text. Looks like
you've been drinking a bit.

Yes, I have, kemosabe.
I am too drunk to drive.

- You drove here?
- Um, I did.

Wait, hold on.
I'm gonna drink this.

- Come on, you're underage.
- Who cares?

I do. Okay, you asked me
to come get you, and I did.

The least you can do
is not drink in front of me.

- All right? Let's go.
- Okay.

You all right?

Okay. I need help.

All right, come on.

[Maddie sighs]

This is your building, right?

Coach Dominic, do you
take all your students home?

No, I don't.
Let's not make a habit of this.

You look so sad.

Just lost a student.

Riley?

Are you kidding me?

I've lost lots of people.

Tons.
People that mattered.

I'd be sad if you died.

I would.

You're so sweet and...

you're sexy.

Okay, you've definitely
been drinking.

Come on.

We're two consenting adults,
Coach.

Yet only one of us is legally
old enough to drink, all right?

I want you to take it easy
on the alcohol.

Come on, Coach,
you're ruining my buzz.

I'm telling you this
as a friend, all right?

Go upstairs.
Get some sleep.

You really are
my knight in shining armor.

Or gym shorts, whatever.

Dominic, how about
helping a girl into bed?

How about I help you up
the stairs to your apartment?

No, you didn't hear me.
I said into bed.

I might need some help
with my clothes.

I heard you. Let's just pretend
you didn't say it.

I want you,

and not just tonight.

I want you every night.

I want to crawl into your skin.

Maddie.

No one's gonna love you
the way that I do.

You don't even
have to love me back.

I can do it
for the both of us.

You have no idea how big
and scary and wonderful

the love I have
inside of me is.

Let me show you.

No, I...

Go home.

Last chance.

I can't be with you.

No, no.

No, no, no, no.
I chose you.

I chose you, Dominic!
You are mine!

- You belong to me!
- Stop it, stop it, okay?

Calm down.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

Just get out.

Just go.

Just go!

Okay.

[engine starts]

- Hey.
- Hey.

I'm sorry. I know it's late.
I had to see you.

What's going on? I've been
trying to reach you all day.

I know. Things have been
really messed up.

First Coach Hendricks,
then Riley.

Come in.
We need to talk.

Somebody through a rock
through my window last night.

What? You guys okay?

We're fine, but whoever threw it
wrote a message on it.

A message?

"Leave Dominic alone."

The police came,
but they don't have any clues.

So who wants me
to leave you alone?

I don't know.

Madeline Sawyer.

Who's Madeline Sawyer?

She's a student of mine
and she's been,

I don't know,
making advances on me?

I drove her home from a party
tonight because she was drunk,

and I didn't want her to drive,

and she got pretty crazy when I
told her I couldn't be with her.

If this is the girl
who broke my window,

you're gonna have to tell
the police everything you know.

We'll go down there
first thing in the morning.

Thank you.

I'm sorry everything's
so crazy right now.

It's okay, hmm?

Okay.

[crying]

You went to her.

You went to her.

I can't believe
you went to that bitch!

There's only one way this ends.

Only one.

[wailing]

[line beeping]

KELLY: What the hell happened?

I just got here,
and I found it this way.

I couldn't reach you at home,

so I just figured
you were on your way in.

Somebody broke in,

bypassed the alarm
and destroyed everything.

Our server farm looks like

somebody took
a sledgehammer to it.

That's hundreds of thousands of
dollars just gone right there.

It's gonna take
the insurance adjusters months

to go through
all of this mess.

The website's gone, Kelly.

We have backups, though, right?

It doesn't matter.

No servers, no website.

Whoever did this wanted to
hit you where you live, Kelly.

What did the cops say?

I didn't call them yet.
I was waiting on you.

There's something else.

What does this mean?

It's her.

Her?

This girl Dominic
told me about last night.

Madeline Sawyer.
One of his students.

He thinks she threw the rock
through my window last night.

You're telling me somebody
from high school broke in

and wiped out our
multimillion-dollar business?

Why would she do that?

'Cause as long as I'm around,
she thinks I'm in the way.

In the way of what?

Dominic.

Aunt Kelly?

Aunt Kelly?

Maddie, what are you doing?

Well, that's an interesting
question, Amber.

See, a couple years ago,
I lost my parents

just like you,

but I didn't have an Aunt Kelly
to take care of me.

I was all alone.

I don't follow.

The perfect man.

I've loved him
ever since I was a little girl.

Did you know that?

I got into soccer
because of him.

My parents would always
take me to go watch him play.

He was all I had left.

I thought that, you know,
maybe if he got to know me,

he would fall in love with me.

That makes sense, right?

But then you and your aunt
came into town and...

I tried, Amber.

You know, no one knows the loss
that I felt like you.

That pain.

You would've been
my best friend,

and I would've had my man,

and it would have been
happily ever after,

but your bitch whore aunt had to
come and take him away from me.

She ruined everything!

Now there's the police.

They're gonna tell them
about me.

[sobbing]

Maddie, please.

When you lost
everything in your life,

everything you love,
what do you have left?

What is there left
to live for?

Nothing! Nothing!

Hey, hey, hey,
if you ever do that again,

I'm gonna make what I did
to Riley look like a joke.

What do you want?

Well, I spent the entire morning
ruining your aunt's career.

Let's see what else
I can take away from her.

[phone ringing]

Kelly, hey, you wouldn't believe
what just happened.

I need you to listen
very carefully.

You were right.
Madeline is out to get me.

She's out to get both of us.

How do you know that?

Let's just say it's not
too far of a leap.

She completely destroyed
my office.

She threw that rock
through my window.

She's probably to blame
for setting Amber up

for that boy's death, too.

She's on some kind of rampage.

I don't know how far
she's planning on going.

Looks like she's been busy today

because she just left me
a love note on my car.

I'm at the office right now.
I need you to go to my house.

- I need to know Amber's safe.
- Okay, I will.

I want you to call the cops.
I'm gonna do the same thing.

She's home alone. Please.

Just keep an eye on her
till I can get there.

I'll have the police
meet us there.

Okay.

I'm on my way.

Do you want me
to come with you?

Stay here.
Lock the doors.

Don't let anyone in
unless it's the police.

They're gonna
wanna talk to you.

I'm gonna get this mess
cleaned up.

I promise you.

Be careful.

Okay.

Hello?

Amber?

It's Dominic.

Amber?

DOMINIC: Can you hear me?

Why are you wearing that?

You liked Kelly in it
last night.

Hey!

Mm-mm, mm-mm.

No.

No, Maddie, please.

I'm the one you're angry at,
not them.

- Let her go.
- No.

No.

Let's go somewhere.

Okay?

Just the two of us.

Mm-mm.

MADDIE: No, no! I gave you
a second chance last night.

Remember?
You threw me away.

What do you want me to do,
just be forgotten?

Left alone again?

I can get you help, Maddie.

It's too late.

It's too late for all of us,
and when your whore gets here,

I'm gonna burn this house
to the ground.

DOMINIC: Maddie, please,
listen to me.

There's still time for you,
for all of us to fix this.

Let's go now.
Just me and you, Maddie.

MADDIE: Shut up. Shut up!

Do you have any idea
how much I love you?

I have done everything,

everything to show you
how much I love you,

and you just threw me away
like trash!

I would've done anything
for you.

I would die for you!

I would kill
and kill again for you!

DOMINIC: Maddie,
come with me now.

MADDIE: The idea
of you touching her

makes me wanna
cut your head off.

We're ending this now.

Then there'll be no more Kelly
and no more Amber

and no more you.

DOMINIC: Maddie, there's
so much more for you

if we just get you
the help that you need.

MADDIE: We're all gonna be
ashes together.

Isn't that fun?

I can't wait.

Amber!

Are you okay?
You okay?

[distant sirens]

You hear that?

You're done, Maddie.

I called the police.
They know everything.

Go ahead. Do it.
I deserve it.

You deserve to live with it.

All of it.

[sirens approaching]

Whoo!
[laughs]

You won!

- You see that?
- Oh, my God!

She should win some kind of
soccer medal or something.

Okay, you're pushing it,
Aunt Kelly.

Okay, I've been
very well-behaved today.

Not much shouting,
no throwing things.

I was proud of you.

- I'm proud of you, too.
- Me too.

Should we go out for ice cream
or pizza or something?

What's the protocol
for winning a soccer game?

I was gonna go hang out
with my friends, if that's okay.

Oh, of course.

Just be home by ten?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Bye.

Looks like she's finally
starting to heal.

Yeah. I think we all are.

And I think we have
a few hours alone.

Maybe you can teach me
some of your moves.

Sure.

I don't know a lot about soccer,

but I do know it's hands-free,

at least until
after the lesson.

Just a quick one then.
