Original subtitles

Come on out, ana.

Don't make this worse for yourself.

Now, that isn't very nice.

Why don't we go see if ms. Rosie is up for a visit?

I know how much you like her.

[esther] just the lady I was looking for.

Are you still having trouble finding regular shifts here?

Here and everywhere, esther.

I just saw this on a job board.

Yeah, that's right, I'm always looking. I got bills to pay.

"full-time, live-in caregiver, $6000 a month."

-Look at this house! -[whistles]

For all that kind of money, you wonder what's the catch.

-Where is it? -Ah.

It's a small town called stone river.

They're having in-person interview tomorrow

At a hotel out of town.

Are you gonna go?

If things with roger weren't so serious, I might have.

You on the other hand, um...

Because I'm coming off of a bad breakup, I should jump at this?

Not jump. Just check it out.

Maybe the time is right for something different.

You know, reset your vibe. Hm?

[instrumental music]

-I take it you're ms. Garcia? -Yes, I'm ana.

-And you're late. -I'm so sorry.

We had a bit of an incident at the end of my shift.

A client was racing his electric wheelchair down the hallway.

I had to play highway patrol and get him to pull over.

Never a dull moment.

You sound like a real pro.

I'm jason and this is my sister, carla.

You have a strong resume, ms. Garcia.

M-my concern is you don't appear to have extended stints

In any one place. Why is that?

It's tough to find fulltime work, budgets are tight

And nobody wants to guarantee hours and benefits.

Not when psws are a dime a dozen in the city.

But it's a rewarding field.

So you're attracted to our posting because of the money?

To be honest, yes, that's part of it.

I'm saving to go back to nursing school.

And it isn't cheap.

But it would be nice to get to know the person I'm assisting

Beyond just a face I see from time to time.

How's your cooking?

I make a great spinach lasagna.

-With ricotta? -Always.

[both chuckling]

I ask because you'll be tasked with preparing meals,

And the client can be very picky.

The client is our mother, joan.

Uh, she's still quite sharp, but she is starting to develop

Signs of early onset dementia.

Uh, you're familiar with the phenomenon of sundowning?

Yes. She becomes less lucid in the evenings.

It's not at the point where she needs to be put in a home yet,

But it might not be far off.

[carla] our family estate is off the beaten path.

Jason and I both have homes closer to town,

So mum's alone most of the time.

Oh, we check in regularly, but it's just getting to be

Too much for us to handle.

[carla] our family business has our plates full.

We come down to the city occasionally for meetings.

Glad it's given us a chance to meet in person.

Some people find living in remote locations unnerving.

[carla] it would be a far cry from city life

Or any relationship that you may have.

I'll admit I haven't been out of the city much

Apart from a day trip to an amish farmer's market.

Um, as far as relationships are concerned,

I'm unattached.

Could you start next Tuesday?

Uh...

Uh, yes, I think so.

[chuckles] short notice, I know, but, uh, we really need

To get someone straightaway. I think you'd be a great fit.

-Tuesday sounds good. -Glad to have you aboard.

I'll email you the contract and the waiver.

Waiver?

It's a standard liability waiver

We have all of our employees sign.

Is that a problem?

Um, no. I-I guess not.

-Thanks. -See you soon.

[dramatic music]

You offer her the job without consulting me first?

Oh, come on. She's the best candidate we've seen.

She's more than qualified and she's got a-a personality.

And I suppose the fact that she's pretty and flirty

Didn't factor in to your decision at all?

-Where are you going? -To get a drink.

♪ I wanna be the one that's setting you free ♪

♪ you have no idea how good this could be ♪

♪ come with me ♪

♪ pretty boy let me take you down ♪

♪ follow me don't make a sound ♪

♪ to a place where we can't be found ♪

♪ I am ready to take over ♪

♪ uh-oh uh-oh ♪

♪ uh-oh uh-oh ♪

♪ uh-oh uh-oh I am ready to take over ♪

♪ it must mean a lot to follow you with just... ♪

-Quiet day? -Mondays.

-We were busy all weekend, no? -Lucky me.

In the city a gorgeous bouquet like this

Would have been snapped up already.

Yeah. What brings you to stone river?

New job.

I'm working for the regans. Do you know them?

-Everyone knows the regans. -[ana] oh.

They got a pretty bad reputation around here.

Oh. Why's that?

They've ruined a lot of people's lives.

-[coins clinking] -[dramatic music]

But I'm sure if you're working in the office, you'll be fine.

The old witch is retired now.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[jason] hey!

-[chuckles] -you found us.

Yeah, finally. But it was a beautiful drive.

Oh, well, I'm glad you made it safely.

Oh, um, terry. Terry will get your bags.

-I can manage. -I insist.

[dramatic music]

Come meet mom.

Did you get any traffic or anything?

Ah, it was all right.

[jason] it's a lot nicer in the summer usually.

Oh. I've never worked anywhere like this.

Mom.

I'd like you to meet, uh, ana garcia.

So, you're my new babysitter.

No, I'm just a helper. I don't do child care.

Garcia.

What's that? Spanish?

I'm filipino.

[sighs]

Well, don't just stand there staring at the side of my head.

Go show her around.

All right.

[instrumental music]

This is beautiful.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, there's not a lot of houses like this in stone river,

That's for sure.

Oh, we, uh, had the security system installed

After a couple of break-ins.

We haven't had one in a while, but, um, we mostly just use it

To keep tabs on mom. Come on.

We've got satellite tv, got a library. Uh...

Cell phone service is spotty, kinda depends on the weather.

There's a landline, though, if you need to reach carla

Or myself. Uh, no wi-fi, though.

Mom doesn't use it, so she won't pay for it.

I was hoping to catch up on my reading, anyway.

Hm, well, if it's anything particularly raunchy,

You might wanna hide it under your pillow.

Just mom's kind of a puritan about that stuff, so...

It's great gatsby, thank you.

Mm...

Oh, uh, sorry, I never actually introduced you.

Ana, this is terry. He's the, uh, property manager here.

So you need anything fixed, you just let him know.

Sure. Thanks, terry.

He's a man of few words.

I'll, uh, I'll show you your room.

Make yourself at home, have a rest

And, um, we'll see you at supper.

-Can I do anything to help? -[chuckles] no.

You're not officially on the clock until tomorrow.

[instrumental music]

This looks lovely!

Can I help with anything?

Sit.

These are for you.

Lilies. They're so pungent.

Go get a vase and put these in the corner.

Hey, ana! Perfect timing.

Oh, well, now that everybody's here, let's eat.

[carla] did you get those updated invoices to stan?

[jason] yeah, I did, and he threatened

To take his business elsewhere.

[carla] hm. [joan] oh, great.

So you've blown another deal?

Not my fault, mom, the price of steel has gone up everywhere.

-Do you remember? -Of course I remember.

This house is incredible.

It must have been really nice growing up here.

It's nice if you're not the one having to maintain it.

Uh, our dad died when carla and I were teenagers.

Mom was busy with the business, so a lot

Of the chores fell on us.

We didn't have, uh, terry back then.

And you didn't need one.

The work sweated the laziness out of you

And kept you out of mischief.

And, uh, baseball and hockey and fishing.

Useless pursuits.

You don't get ahead playing children's games.

It's through hard and meaningful work.

Do either of you have families?

[joan snorts]

I'm divorced, no kids.

This one almost married his high-school sweetheart,

Then he got cold feet.

We were young. It was the right decision.

True, she went on to marry a professional hockey player.

That's an upgrade.

[joan] and your ex ended up in jail.

What are we to make of that?

Who knows if I'll ever see a grandchild

Between the two of you.

Oh, this salad is delicious.

[chuckles] I'd say that to impress my new boss, too.

Well, I mean it.

The apples are amazing.

[chuckles] I picked them myself.

There's an old orchard at the west end of the property.

Wait until you try them in pie.

I'm looking forward to it.

[sighs]

Garbage bins are beside the garage.

[dramatic music]

Uh...

-[terry] no! -[gasps]

The raccoons will get into it.

And I'll be the one cleaning up the mess.

Sorry, I didn't know you were still here.

I leave when the work's done.

You could have joined us

For supper.

Doesn't take you long to make yourself at home, does it?

No, I-I just meant that I'm sure the regans wouldn't mind.

Wasn't invited.

Have yourself a good evening with the family.

And remember, you're not one of them

And you never will be.

Well, enough of this chit-chat. I'm going to bed.

I'll get everything ready.

-I'll be fine. -Let her help.

It's why we hired her.

I don't need anyone tucking me in.

-Goodnight, mom. -[joan] you can go ahead.

And talk about me now.

Like I said, sharp as a tack.

Sometimes.

Why don't we go over the parameters of the job?

Uh, mom likes to still do her own grocery-shopping,

So you'll need to take her into town to do that.

Um, you'll have to use your own car.

Mom ran hers off the road a couple months ago.

Under no circumstances is she to drive.

Understood.

You'll take her to her hairdresser's

On tuesdays, church on sundays.

Jason and I will handle all of the medical appointments.

Oh, that's not a problem. I can take care of those, too.

No. At least not until we know we can trust you.

-Don't forget-- -I was just getting to that.

Mum has a severe allergy to peanuts.

No peanuts. Got it.

But she's discovered soy butter,

So she really enjoys making herself sandwiches.

I think she's trying to make up for all the ones

She missed out on as a kid.

I'll try and pop in every day

Just till you're familiar with the routine.

Ana, I suggest you make extra food at supper

Because that's when he's most likely

To pop in looking for a meal.

Hey, I do most of the barbequing,

So it kinda works out.

I promise you, you'll never show up to an empty plate.

I think you're gonna fit in nicely.

[dramatic music]

-[instrumental music on tv] -[knocking on door]

[man on tv] the lioness prepares to fend off

The prowling jackals, looking to steal her zebra kill.

-[gasps] -are you the one?

I'm just here to turn off the tv.

When the old lioness grows weak,

The scavengers circle looking to strike her down.

I'm no fool!

It's okay, joan.

I'm here to keep you safe.

[vocalization]

[joan] nobody's safe.

Good morning. Did you sleep okay?

Any sleep you wake up from is a good one.

Did you manage to get some rest after that nightmare?

What are you talking about?

I...

You don't remember me coming into your room?

It's not a big deal.

I think your nature show leaked into your dreams.

Don't patronize me. Who remembers their dreams anyway?

We need to get more of these.

Let's go to the store after breakfast.

Okay.

[dramatic music]

Does spinach lasagna sound good for dinner?

[hank] hey. See who came in?

Joan regan.

Tell her to shop somewhere else.

[hank] why? I don't mind taking her money.

Besides, looks like she's going downhill fast.

[chuckles] bad karma.

One witch down, one to go.

[hank] ah, carla doesn't seem as bad.

Give her time. Remember what she did to jenny conroy?

-That was years ago. -Tell that to jenny.

She still gets migraines from where carla cracked her skull.

Been anybody else, they'd have done jail time.

Not when you're a regan.

That family would try to pay off the devil himself.

-[jar shatters] -[ana] joan, are you okay?

They shouldn't make these jars so slippery!

-It's just stupid. -It's okay. I'll take these.

But now I have to pay for that one!

You break it, you buy it.

It's a bloody scam!

Why don't we pay for these and head home?

[music continues]

That man used to work for me, you know?

Oh, really?

Had to let him go, can't remember why now.

Probably incompetent.

Get out of here before I do something I regret!

-Sorry. -See, he's still mad about it.

That's why he's trying to rip me off. Dirty scoundrel!

[hank] you'll get what's coming to you!

[music continues]

No, jams on the left,

The mint jelly on the right.

I don't wanna accidently put that in my sandwich.

What did you buy those for?

Um, I didn't.

-You must have. -No, I didn't.

My dog is dead. Someone poisoned him last year.

Why would I go and buy food for a dead dog?

You know what, you're right.

I'm sorry. I picked those up.

I thought jason had mentioned a dog.

Why don't we go for a walk?

Fine.

[dramatic music]

Best not get too close to that edge. Drops off quickly.

It's so gorgeous here.

I almost sold it after my husband died.

But the offers were too lowball.

Cliff and I worked too hard to let the vultures have it.

Wasn't easy, running a steel mill

And raising teenagers all by myself.

My dad died when I was young,

So it was just my mom and I.

She had to work three different jobs just to keep us afloat

After we moved to the states.

I didn't see much of her either.

Is she still with you?

I'd just enrolled into college when I found out mom had cancer.

She fought for a year before she passed.

Supporting her through that inspired me toward nursing.

-Life is hard, isn't it? -Yeah.

Very hard.

But we soldier on.

-[door opens] -not bad for a nurse.

-[door shuts] -[jason] hello!

-You're late for supper, mooch. -The lasagna's still warm.

-If you want a slice. -Oh, won't say no to that.

You've never said no to a free meal in your life.

Nice to see you, too, mom.

[jason sighs]

I'm gonna go do a bit of reading before bed.

Could I get a cup of tea?

-When you have a moment? -Sure thing.

Mom, you're not still reading those books

By that kooky preacher, are you?

Kooky? To a backslider like you.

Maybe you'd benefit from reading his books.

Maybe you'd get your life in order.

How was the day with, uh, her majesty?

We did some shopping.

Did your mom have a dog?

Um, yeah. Yeah. Buster.

We had to put the old boy down last year. Why?

So he wasn't poisoned?

Poisoned?

No. No, he was, um, 16 and a, and a half.

Is, is that what mom said happened?

She just had a memory blip about it.

Um, any other blips I should know about?

Not really.

She had a nightmare last night, though.

Yeah, okay. Yeah, she's been having more of those lately.

You know, I have to say my biggest concern was

Whether or not she'd accept you.

But so far, so good.

I had a hunch you two would get along.

You know, there's something, um, special about you.

Oh, um...

I might be a mooch, but I do my own dishes.

[knocking on door]

Would you like anything else?

If I did, I'd ask you for it, wouldn't I?

I won't disturb you further, then.

A little late for that.

[door shuts]

[water trickling]

Pipes are acting up.

I'll ask terry about it tomorrow.

Hey. Go find your own sink.

-Oh. Okay. -[laughs]

All right, that's how it is.

That's fine.

[jason laughing]

Don't. Don... You...

-[groans] okay. -[laughs]

All right. This is happening. Come here.

-Oh. -Get!

[laughs] oh.

Stop. Come on, come on!

-What do you got? -[laughing] another one.

-No! -[laughs]

[carla] excuse me.

Just a good old-fashioned towel fight

Like when we used to do the dishes.

Yeah, when we were kids.

I didn't know you were dropping by tonight.

I picked up mum's mail. Is she up?

Yeah, she's in her room reading.

I hope in all the fun, you haven't forgotten

That I'm picking her up early tomorrow

For her doctor's appointment.

No, of course not. I'll make sure she's ready.

[chuckling]

She's in a mood. I better go.

Oh, and, uh, I want a rematch.

[laughs] you're on.

[instrumental music]

[wind howling]

[rattling]

-[joan screaming] -[dramatic music]

[joan] leave me alone!

[gasps]

-Get out of my house! -Stop, joan! It's ana!

-Stay away from me! -Okay.

No one's trying to hurt you! Ah.

[grunting]

Easy, joan.

It's okay.

It's me. You're safe now.

I heard somebody trying to get in.

Yeah, I think it's just the wind rattling the windows.

No, someone is there.

[sobbing] please don't leave me alone. Please!

[sobbing]

It's okay. It's okay.

-I'll stay right here with you. -[sobbing]

I know they hate me.

-Who hates you? -All of them.

I hear them in the salon,

In the church, at the store.

They think I don't, but I do.

All their nasty gossip.

After everything I've done for this town,

They'll just be glad when I'm dead and buried.

Why don't you lie down?

[vocalization]

I'll keep an eye on things for you.

[vocalization]

[carla] hello?

Mom, are you ready?

What is this?

Carla.

I'm sorry. Let me explain.

Y-your mum had a bit of a fright last night

And asked me stay with her.

I meant to set my alarm, but I must have dozed off

And overslept.

This is completely unprofessional.

No. What she told you is true.

I wasn't... Myself last night.

Ana was just doing what I asked. I appreciate her being here.

Well, can you please get ready?

Or we'll be late for your appointment.

Late. Huh.

I'll end up waiting 45 minutes anyway.

I'll go put some coffee on.

Coffee is ready and I made a light breakfast.

[scoffs] I don't want those crumbs in my car.

Well, I'm hungry.

We have to get her blood work done, too.

So we'll have lunch in town.

You can spend the time cleaning the bathrooms.

They need a good scrubbing.

Going forward,

I'd rather you don't get so familiar with my mother.

Understood.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[humming]

[footsteps approaching]

[humming]

[gasps] you scared me!

I knocked. You shouldn't wear those things.

Better to be aware of your surroundings.

Jason told me to check the sink.

In the kitchen.

[sighs]

Ah.

Would you like some coffee?

Prefer a beer.

Water's fine.

The old lady's taken quite a shine to you.

Uh, I suppose so.

So you've worked for the regans quite a while, have you?

Oh, yeah.

I know where the bodies are buried.

It's just an expression.

Not that the regans don't have their secrets.

Oh, then, don't we all?

You good at keeping secrets, ana?

Look, I'm just here to do a job.

I'm not looking to get involved in anyone's personal affairs.

Even jason's?

Being rich doesn't mean you don't get lonely at night.

Like I said, that's their business, not mine.

To gold-digging.

Look, I don't know what your problem is, but that is not...

[tap water running]

[tap turns off]

Water's back.

[door opens]

-[sighs] -[door shuts]

[door opens]

Oh, you're back. Where's carla?

She had to see terry about something.

-How did everything go? -Fine.

I could use a sandwich.

I thought you had lunch in town.

Oh, carla only let me eat a salad.

Oh. I forgot my purse in the car.

I'll get it.

-[dramatic music] -[indistinct chatter]

[thuds]

-[intense music] -joan?

Joan!

[groaning]

-Call 911! -What's wrong with her?

Anaphylactic shock. We need epinephrine or we'll lose her.

What? Do something!

Just calm down. Just hold her like this.

Joan, focus on your breathing, okay?

Slow and steady.

That's it. Slow and steady.

That's it. You're going to be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

No, she's doing fine now.

But what if I did screw up?

The er said that if we got there any later, she would have died.

You're sure you didn't make a mistake with those jars?

Uh, I don't know. I think I'm sure.

-They're gonna fire me. -Don't assume that.

That woman's alive thanks to you.

-That's what matters now. -I better go.

-Thanks for listening. -Anytime.

And if they're dumb enough to let you go,

You're always welcome on my couch, you know that.

Thanks.

[carla] how did peanut butter get into this house?

-That's on ana. -[jason] okay, so...

She messed up on the groceries, but it was an accident.

If it wasn't for ana, mom wouldn't have made it.

The only reason why you're defending her is

Because you wanna get into her pants.

[jason] oh! O-okay, yeah.

I enjoy her company, so what?

We hired her to keep mom company, not you!

[dramatic music]

Carla!

I'm sorry.

I swear, it was soy butter we picked up.

Uh, the jars, they look--

For your sake, there better

Not be any more negligence,

Or there will be serious repercussions. Understood?

[door shuts]

[instrumental music]

-What are you doing? -[sniffles]

Carla's right. What happened today is on me.

That's the bottom line. I should resign.

Resign? Ana, it was an accident.

It's my job to protect your mom.

And today I failed. It's all my fault.

No, no, no. Ana, ana.

You saved the day. You can't leave.

I, I love how you've connected with mom.

She'd be so disappointed if you left.

And I would, too.

[instrumental music]

That was really inappropriate.

Um, I'm your employer

And I don't want you to feel coerced you or--

I don't.

[music continues]

Is this gonna make things weird?

I don't think so. Ah...

We just have to keep it discreet.

Carla would flip if she found out.

Not to mention the old warhorse.

Don't be calling your mother that. She's not that bad.

Look, um,

You've only known her for a couple of days.

You're seeing her in her old age.

You're seeing her mellowed out.

You didn't have to live with her when she was tearing

Strips off me for coming home late,

Calling all my buddies losers

And calling all my girlfriends sluts.

You know, I had to sneak out to my own grad party.

Not like carla. No, carla was the chosen one.

And I was this wild child that had to be kept on a short leash.

And you see how she talks to me, right?

-Like I'm still 12 years old! -I know, but--

[joan] jason. Are you still here?

[jason clears throat]

Mom! You're up.

Uh, uh, how are you feeling?

What are you doing in here?

Uh, ana's window wouldn't open.

You know how the frames stick when it gets damp.

You should be resting, mom.

If I need a walker, I'll get one.

Why don't we go see if your show's on?

I'll make you a cup of tea.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

Wow! That was close.

I think she suspects something, but...

Look.

This is the receipt from when we went shopping.

See, it's soy butter that we bought.

That's weird. Then it must have been coded wrong.

I mean, it was definitely peanut butter that she ate,

And that's what was on the shelf.

Oh, shoot. I didn't realize what time it was.

Um, I've got an early morning.

I am going to leave things

In your capable hands.

Call me if you need me.

[dramatic music]

I can't tell you how relieved I am

That you're back to your full strength.

I'm so sorry about--

It wasn't your fault.

[instrumental music]

Someone is trying to kill me.

Why would anyone wanna hurt you?

I've made plenty of enemies over the years,

And I'm not the easiest to work for.

Some wounds never heal, I suppose.

I can't do anything about that.

You need to be careful.

They might be after you now, too.

Who's after you, joan?

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[terry] she won't... [carla] and if she does?

[terry] let me take care of her.

[clatters]

Oh, hey!

-What are you doing? -I-I was just gonna rake.

If there's any landscaping that needs be done,

Terry can handle it.

Shouldn't you be watching my mother?

She's taking a nap, but I'll, I'll go check on her.

If I have any regrets,

It's that I didn't spend more time with my kids,

Especially carla.

There's more to life than work.

Speaking of carla,

I assume that she stepped in your shoes with the company?

And then some.

When I go, carla inherits majority.

Jason's tried to talk me out of it. No chance of that.

But he will get his fair share to go play with.

Why don't you want him to run the company?

He's too immature.

He has these cock-eyed ideas that will wreck the company.

Carla has good business sense

And she plays the long game.

But she holds her cards tight,

So who knows what she's thinking?

Oh, there's a chill in the air now.

Why don't we go inside? I'll make you another tea.

Well... Oh.

Don't forget to bring in buster or he'll bark all night.

Sure. I'll do that.

-[intense music] -[screaming]

Ugh.

Just a garter snake.

Yeah. They get in the house sometimes chasing field mice.

We put poison baits out for the mice,

And I think he ate the wrong mouse.

And it happened to die in my bed.

I stumbled across carla and terry in the work shed earlier.

I couldn't make out what they were saying,

But they were not happy to have me within earshot.

I think it was a warning for me to keep my mouth shut.

[chuckles] about what? You just said you didn't hear anything.

Hm, but they don't know that.

L-look, I'll admit that terry can be a little weird sometimes.

-I-I'll mention it to carla. -No, no! Don't, don't.

I don't wanna stir up any trouble.

Do you, um, need me to come tuck you in?

Thanks for the offer, but I'm exhausted.

-Hm. -I think I should go to sleep.

[thunder rumbling]

[thuds]

[joan] I know you're out there!

-[thuds] -[dramatic music]

What's he doing out there in this storm?

Who? Buster? I'm sure he's fine.

-Not buster! The man. -What man?

-The man in the rain. -You saw someone?

I couldn't sleep and I came out to get a glass of milk,

And I saw him through the door.

He's coming for me.

[thunder rumbling]

I think you just saw your reflection in the glass

When the lightning flashed.

Hm. There's no one outside?

Well, keep your eyes open in case he comes back.

It looks like it's finally clearing up.

I wanna go for a good, long walk.

[chuckles] I'll go get my jacket.

Are you sure you wanna wear those?

-They'll get mucky. -It's not that wet.

Uh, you be careful on that wet ground, mrs. Regan.

Wouldn't want you to fall and break something.

I know how to walk.

[joan] it's so drab this time of year.

You should see it in June when everything's blooming.

[chuckles] it must be beautiful.

[joan] mm. Ah...

Oh, looks like you caught a chill.

Let me run you a bath and I'll make us some dinner.

Yeah.

To top off dessert, you have to try

This homemade cider that terry's dad made.

Too bland. You can tell he used supermarket apples.

It does go really well with the custard, though.

Oh, before I forget,

I want carla to send flowers to doris and eddie.

It's their 50th wedding anniversary Saturday.

Yeah, well, I can take care of that for you, mom.

No. I want carla to do it.

You don't know a rose from a petunia.

[chuckles] I mean, it's just flowers, mom.

I'm sure that I can...

I don't need you embarrassing me

By sending a garish arrangement.

Fine. I'll get carla to handle it.

[sighs] I don't know why I am so tired

When I just sat around the house the whole day.

I'm gonna go watch my program and turn in early.

-Goodnight, mom. -Goodnight.

Sat around the house all day?

Didn't you go for a walk with her earlier?

She didn't get a full night's sleep either.

Yeah. Another nightmare?

That explains why she's so cranky.

[yawns] I'm sorry.

I'm a little beat myself.

Long night.

I guess, uh, no fun tonight either?

[chuckles]

[man on tv] the mother sea otter breaks the clam open

For her hungry pups.

Do you need anything, joan?

I can't find my shoes.

They got all muddy from our walk, remember?

Oh, actually, while I was tidying up, I found...

These clogs.

[joan] those ugly things?

Carla bought those for me in the summer.

I wore them once. Looked like a clown.

[laughs]

I don't think you could ever look like a clown.

That's kind of you to say.

You know, it's been nice having you around,

Putting up with me.

Oh, but you're not that bad.

I've enjoyed getting to know you.

Goodnight, joan.

[exhales sharply]

First thing tomorrow.

[timepiece ticking]

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music on tv]

[music continues]

[tv turns off]

Joan?

[dramatic music]

Joan?

Joan?

Joan!

Joan!

Joan!

Joan!

Come on, pick up.

Jason, it's ana.

Y-your mom got outside somehow.

I can't find her.

I don't know. I'm sure the alarm was set.

I-I'm gonna go back out and look for her.

Hurry!

Joan?

Joan?

Joan?

[dramatic music]

[intense music]

[screams]

[siren blares]

[indistinct radio chatter]

We've got everything we need for now.

My condolences to you both on your loss.

Thank you.

This never should have happened.

This is your fault.

-You and your libido. -I will handle it.

You better.

Until we've completed the investigation,

You can't leave town.

But-but I gave my statement already.

Carla regan is pressing charges of criminal negligence.

What?

[indistinct radio chatter]

We'll be in touch.

[car engine starts]

[dramatic music]

Jason, I swear to you, I-I don't know how the door was unlocked.

No, just don't. Don't.

Please, you have to believe me! I checked every night.

Oh, like, like you checked the peanut butter? Like that?

But you saw the receipt. Even you said that there's no way--

Look, all I know is that we tell you that mom has

A peanut allergy, and then two days later

She nearly dies from it.

And then we tell you that the doors need to be secured

At night and now...

[scoffs]

You know, carla was right.

I let my feelings for you blind me.

Blind you to what?

To your incompetence.

Jason, please, there's more to...

-Terry and carla, I saw... -Oh, no, no, you don't.

You don't try and pass blame on this, all right?

Now, you messed up again!

So own it! I can't believe I trusted you.

I have to go to the plant now

And I have to tell them all what's happened.

I need you out of the house today.

You'll be paid for the days you worked.

But I don't care about that!

[ana sobbing]

[engine starts]

[engine revving]

Okay.

[beeping]

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

What really happened here, joan?

-[terry] hey! -[gasps]

Not a good idea to get so close to the edge like that.

What's wrong with you?

Jason told me you have to leave.

I will when I'm ready.

[ana sniffles]

[grunting] hey!

You need to leave now!

Don't ever touch me again!

I'm going.

Make it quick.

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

Surprised to see me?

I heard a rumor

There was an accident at the regans' last night.

It's no rumor. The old witch is dead.

Oh.

Well, I'm sorry, to you and the family.

I'm not here to lay a guilt trip on you.

-I need to ask you a question. -What?

Last week when I was here with joan, mrs. Regan,

We bought a jar of soy butter from you.

That's what the receipt says.

Is there any way we could be wrong

And we accidentally bought peanut butter?

No. It's all done by the code on the jars.

This says you bought soy butter, so that's what you got.

One more question. You know terry?

The man who works for the regans at their home?

Yeah, I know him.

We worked at the plant together back in the day. Why?

Is that how he lost his hand?

I-I don't see that's my place to say.

Ask the regans, it's their company, their employee.

I can't. They fired me.

Please. I know you don't care about mrs. Regan, but I do.

I need to know if there's any reason

That terry had to kill her.

Please.

[sighs] yeah.

Terry lost his hand at the plant.

He should have got a big insurance payout,

But the regans like to keep accidents off the books.

Mrs. Regan didn't trust him to take a lumpsum payout

And keep his mouth shut,

So she offered him the caretaker job.

[scoffs] I bet he resented that.

Wouldn't you? He was entitled to that insurance money.

She warned him that his coworkers might say

That he was drunk at the time of the accident.

That's blackmail.

Big time.

Terry wasn't the same after that.

Hey, you can wreck yourself going up against

People like the regans.

Uh, I guess karma finally caught up with her.

Terry and carla are behind it. I'm sure.

You need to lawyer up. This is bull.

What good is a lawyer if I don't have proof

That I'm being framed?

That's what the cops are for.

I don't know if the police in stone river

Will see it that way, not when it comes to the regans.

[engine starts]

I gotta go. I'll call you later.

Just be careful.

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

"we need to talk tomorrow. She's starting to suspect something.

You have to deal with her."

Are you kidding me? Oh...

[car approaching]

[dramatic music]

[gasps]

[panting]

[door opens]

[music continues]

[bangs]

[sighs]

[door opens, shuts]

[music continues]

[intense music]

-[gasps] -[terry] you little...

[panting]

[screams, groans]

Just can't keep your nose out of it, can you?

Back off!

[ana grunts]

-[ana whimpers] -[terry groaning]

You crazy...

[music continues]

-[air hissing] -[ana grunting]

[air hissing]

[terry grunts]

[engine starts]

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

No, we don't have anything as far as arrangements yet...

Yeah, so I'm gonna have to push back delivery a few days,

Just given the circumstances.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

What are you doing here?

Was I not clear about this being over?

Then why is carla pressing charges against me?

Well, you were negligent.

That's why I'm here, because I wasn't!

Okay, I can't be talking to you, so you need to leave.

And I told you, this whole thing doesn't add up.

Your mother never left the house at night before.

Well, there's a first time for everything.

Why do you think we hired you?

Joan was afraid at night.

She was scared that something was out there.

Why would she go out there by herself?

What are you implying?

She wasn't alone.

And who was with her, then?

-Buster? -Terry.

-[scoffs] -and possibly carla.

You're seriously gonna try and pin this on them?

It makes sense!

Your mother told me that carla was next in line

To run the company.

And terry, he resented your mom

For forcing him to take that insurance money.

Carla does want to run the company

And terry is weird, but they would never kill mom.

There's, there's no proof of that.

Oh, yeah? Look at this.

I found it in a drawer in terry's work shed.

You're stealing from him now? What if he finds out?

He knows, believe me.

He did that?

He came after me back at the house.

He knows I'm on to him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he came here looking for me.

I only beat him because I slashed his tire.

You what? Are you nuts?

Just look at it!

That's the code for the security alarm.

Yeah, terry needs to access the house sometimes

While we're away. That doesn't prove anything!

Okay, well, check this note out. Hm.

"we need to talk tomorrow. She's starting to suspect something.

We have to deal with her."

Sounds like someone's planning to fix

More than just a leaky faucet.

I bet you that's carla's handwriting.

It is.

There's your link between the two.

-I don't think it's that simple. -[scoffs]

And who else could "she" refer to?

[carla] terry's wife.

His wife?

Carla and terry have been having an affair,

Nearly a year now.

Why didn't you mention this to me before?

Because it's none of your business.

Terry is married with kids.

Can you imagine the mess if their secret got out?

And that snake in your bed, that was some kind of clumsy warning.

But now he finds you snooping in his shed?

Can you blame him for being mad?

He probably thinks you're gonna try and blackmail him.

What about the insurance?

Mom paid terry three times

What he would have made from an insurance claim.

Why would he wanna kill his golden goose?

[carla] if you're done trying to exonerate yourself

With these nancy drew fantasies,

My brother and I need to meet with the funeral director

About burying my mother.

And the truth, too.

-You... -[mumbles]

[carla grunts]

You hired this lunatic.

She gets mom killed, she nearly killed terry.

He attacked me!

All right! This ends now.

You go to the funeral home...

And I'll meet you there.

Make it quick.

You... Just need to go,

And I don't care where.

What about the cider that terry gave you?

It seems odd, doesn't it?

Your mom and I have a glass, and the next thing we know,

We can't keep our eyes open.

He, he had access to the pantry and the soy butter--

Would you stop? S-stop!

Do you realize that I could just as easily

Accuse you of foul play?

-What? -You were alone with her.

You had controlled the alarm.

You found her body.

You are the one stealing things from terry

And trying to frame him.

But I have no reason to harm your mother!

I know, but do you realize how easy it is

To falsely accuse somebody?

God, you're grasping at straws, and it's out of guilt.

So let it go.

What about her feet?

Her feet?

-Your mom was found barefoot. -[scoffs]

The edge of the bluff is covered with sharp stones.

You can't walk over them in bare feet. I tried it.

-She was forced over that edge. -All right, no, that's enough.

It is bad enough that I have to bury my mother,

But then to listen to you twist your negligence

Into this bizarre fever dream...

Have some respect for my loss, please.

I swear on my life, jason, I'd never hurt her.

And how do you explain the bare feet?

I don't know! I... Uh...

Her clogs, they slipped off in the dark and she couldn't

Find them, and then she wandered out too close to the ridge.

In her condition, she wouldn't even feel those stones.

That's why the door needed to be locked!

Go. Just go. You've taken enough from me and my family.

Just go.

[jason scoffs]

[dramatic music]

How did you know about the clogs?

What?

The clogs?

I never mentioned them.

Yeah. So?

She never wore those.

How'd you know she was wearing them last night?

That jar of peanut butter is still in a bag in the garbage.

I wonder what the police would find if

They dusted it off for fingerprints.

You are completely delusional.

And incompetent, right?

You planned this from the start, didn't you, jason?

[ana] you set me up!

Why me?

Why!

[intense music]

I needed somebody trusting.

Someone naive.

It didn't hurt that you were easy on the eyes.

You are never gonna get away with this!

[intense music]

[both grunting]

-[jason groans] -what's going on here?

-[jason groaning] -I came back to...

Jason, you're bleeding.

I tried to make her leave, she went psycho.

-She stabbed me with her keys. -I'm calling the police.

No! Just, just help me find her.

Well, what's that for?

What do you think? She's crazy! Lock that door!

[music continues]

-[ana gasps] -hey!

[music continues]

[panting]

[metal clanging]

Come on out, ana. Don't make this worse for yourself.

[extinguisher clangs]

[intense music]

-[music continues] -[ana gasps]

-[ana grunting] -[grunting]

[grunts] strike one.

[grunting]

Strike two.

[ana grunting]

Strike three. Game over.

[carla] jason!

What are you doing?

[panting] I'm giving her what she deserves!

He killed joan...

He threw her off the ridge.

[ana sobbing]

How could you?

I did her a favor, carla.

She was gonna waste away, it was gonna be a slow death

With no dignity.

Now, the allergy attack, that was gonna spare her the fall

If not for your heroics!

Dignity?

You dragged her to her death!

She came...

She came willingly.

After you passed out, I came back, I just told her

That we had to go and look for buster.

She didn't suffer.

It had to be done.

And all the constant criticism and the nagging

And the pitting us against each other!

She... It's over!

She can't control us anymore!

We're finally free!

-[jason groaning] -[ana panting]

No, we have to finish this.

[groaning]

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Gonna win with that? Come on.

[ana grunting]

[both grunting]

-You... [groans] -[carla] ah!

[groaning] carla, carla...

You, you'll pay for what you did to mom!

If I have to, I will kill you, too!

[jason grunting]

[jason groans]

You'll regret this.

I don't think I will.

[ana grunts]

[ana] mike, if it rains, it rains.

We can always move the reception into the clubhouse.

It's not that expensive.

Look, you got to choose the honeymoon destination.

I get to choose wedding venue. That was the deal, right?

Oh, carla's here.

I'll see you tomorrow night after my shift.

I love you.

It's so great to see you.

So, how's the convention?

Oh, you know. Steel exports. Super exciting.

But I'm glad it's given us a chance to meet.

I have some news.

Jason dropped his appeal.

He'll be doing 30 years minimum.

I never imagined my baby brother being capable of this.

Anyway, now that we have this finally behind us,

I have something for you.

[carla] it's a memento of better times.

It's perfect.

There's something else.

I've sold off a few properties and I'd like you to have this.

It's a wedding gift for you and mike.

Carla...

[chuckles] I don't know what to say.

-You didn't... -Oh, please, it's my money.

I can do whatever the heck I want with it.

Besides, it's what mom would have wanted.

You were so very good to her.

-More than I ever was. -That is not true.

You were there for her always.

She wished that she could have been there for you more.

I'll tell you a secret.

She loved you very much.

[ana] it's okay, we're fine.

[ana and carla laughing]

Two glasses of your finest champagne.

Um, make it a bottle.

[both laughing]

Oh...
