Don't try and stop me this time.

Who's trying to stop you? I'm just here to wish you a safe journey and a good time

on your travels.

I'm gonna go to LA, and I'm gonna find people who love me.

And those people will find me a job that will make me a lot of money.

Please, Ellie, don't go!

Say good-bye to Ellie, Lena. She's going to LA.

Oh, wow. Bye, Ellie.

Oh, I'll get the phone.

Have a pleasant trip.

I'm leaving!

Were you really gonna run away?

I always mean to run away.

But then as soon as I walk out that door, I think of Dad.

Can you imagine what he'd do if I left?

No, I can't.

Inger! He would freak out.

He would no longer have a reason to live.

- Geez. Really? - Yes.

I mean, if I left, it would mean he'd be totally alone with Mom.

- And me! - Right. And you.

- Hey, dude... - Both of them.

God, I hate school.

- Hey, sasquatch! - Leave her alone.

- Oh, yeah? - Just ignore them, okay?

And what are you gonna do about it, dinger?

Yeah, dinger.

You know, Leon, I'm having a really shitty day today, so why don't you get lost, okay?

You know, Sasquatch, it's not till I get this close

that I realize what a big, ugly bitch that you really are.

Ow!

- Whoa! Okay. - Back off all of you, or I'll pull his hair out.

- Do it! Ow. Okay. - Farther, you fuckers.

Ugh. Oh! Shit.

You're not unhappy here, are you, honey?

Of course not.

We moved here because we love you and Inger very much.

No, I love it here.

And I love you, Dad.

Aww.

What's the problem?

The problem... Uh,

the problem is that you don't give me the benefit of the fucking doubt.

- Karen, please. - If I say there's a problem

that she's acting up again, I expect you to believe me

and help me deal with it.

You know, Mom, we love you, too.

And what about this attempted murder charge at the bus stop?

Not guilty.

Well, I'm starving. I'm gonna see what's for dinner.

Shit.

Hi. Oh!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Oh, what's the matter?

Nothing.

Oh, you can tell me.

Hey. Wait up.

Whatchu doing?

Cover me. I'm going in.

Hi, Bobby. Ellie's inside the truck.

Oh. Hi, Ellie.

Oh. Hi, Bobby.

- You guys are moving? - Yeah, today.

Mom and I are leaving 'cause Dad can't pay his bills.

- So your dad's not coming with you? - No.

Want to get out of my truck?

Come on, come on, get outta here. Get outta here!-ELLIE: Bobby said I could.

- Did not! - Did, too.

Brat.

Lena, can you go upstairs? I need you to run some errands.

I'll be right there.

- Hey. - The keys.

You'll miss me, pookie.

Pookie this, you asshole.

- Enjoy the show? - Mmm-hmm.

Lawson, wait. Wait.

Let's do it in his house. No. No.

I'm getting out of this place, immediately.

That's fantastic. That's the best news.

I'm ready to go right now. Let's get out of here.

Look.

It's... It's just gonna be me and the girls.

What are you talking about? We had plans.

- I... I... I know. I know it's difficult. - No, no, no.

You can't leave now.

- You gotta control yourself, Lawson. - You fucking bitch.

Baby.

Baby, I'm so horny.

What was that?

There's nothing there.

Jesus, I'm gonna miss this.

Oh, yeah.

Lena, could you stop what you're doing? There's something I want to speak to you about.

- Is something wrong? - I have to let you go.

I don't understand.

Look, you've been really great,

But we just won't be needing you here.

Why? Why won't you need me?

Here's two weeks wages, and you'll also find a very nice recommendation.

Excuse me. What's going on here?

You're being fired.

Ellie! Inger! I'm home!

Hi, Dad.

- There you go. - Thanks.

And what did you get me?

It's a makeup kit. I don't know what's in there exactly,

but the lady at the store said it was kind of a starter set for girls.

Oh, thanks, Dad.

You're welcome, honey.

Lena didn't say what kind of personal emergency?

No, she didn't.

Hmm. Not a word?

I'm not as interested in her personal life as you are.

Now, what the hell is that supposed to mean?

So you just fired her because you felt like it.

No, I fired her because I know you want to fuck her again,

if you haven't already.

Oh, that's rich, Karen, that's really rich.

...or the meeting with the school principal for Ellie's you know, the Ellie situation.

It's only a 40-minute drive to and from work.

Look, you know what? It really doesn't matter, Ben, because I've had it.

I'm taking my children, and I'm getting out of here.

What do you mean, your children? They're m... my children.

And how about "our children?"

And you think I'm just gonna let you take them away from me?

There's nothing you can do about it, and you know it.

We'll see what a lawyer has to say about that. Yes, we will.

Oh, that's just great, Karen. Great. Good night!

Dad, is that you?

Who's there?

What are you doing down here?

Ah, I just thought it would be better.

Hey, you look great.

Thanks.

Couldn't sleep?

No.

You're wearing that ring i got you last month.

Yeah, I never take it off. I even sleep in it.

Hadn't you noticed?

Yeah.

Dad, you love me, don't you?

- Yeah, sure. - No, I'm serious.

- Don't be silly. - You really mean it?

Ellie, come on.

Look, I'm gonna tell you a story,

and I'm only gonna tell you this 'cause you seem a little down.

You promise you won't get a big head about it?

One time, when I was talking to Lawson, he asked me which one of you I loved more.

And I said that I loved both you and Inger equally.

And he said, "bullshit."

You always feel differently about each of them.

I didn't want to tell him how I felt.

I didn't tell him how you were my favorite.

Dad. Really?

What is that you have on?

Dad's makeup.

Well, you're not going to school like that, young lady.

Oh, yes, I am.-No, you're gonna go upstairs and take it off right now.

- You're just jealous. - Oh, God, Ellie, you are just...

- Stop! - Don't you push me!

You're ruining it! Ow! I'll just put it right back on.

- No, you won't! - I'm going upstairs, and I'm putting it right back on.

Over my dead body!-Let go of me!

Hi, Karen.

I was wondering if you would be able...

Karen, what's wrong?

Um, it... it's just been one of those mornings.-Oh.

Ellie, come on downstairs. It's time to go to school.

Sweetie pie, what's wrong? Are you okay?

I just wanted to ask a quick favor.

Um, there's a lovely young couple coming by this afternoon to see the Caravela house

And I can't be here and I thought maybe if I left you the keys.

- Sure, no problem. Not at all. - You sure? I really appreciate it.

- Oh, hi, Ellie! - Goodbye Mrs. Potter.

She's a moody one.

Hi. You've reached the home of the Christiansons.

No one's home right now.

Just leave a message.

Ow!

Hello?

Hello?

What's going on? I heard someone got snuffed.

Ellie's gonna be home soon.

What's going on?

Ellie...

Would you come up here?

There's something important I have to tell you

Your mother's dead.

I loved her, Ellie.

I don't know if I can ever love anyone like I loved her.

I can never marry again.

I'll never marry again.

- Hey. - Hi, sir.

What are you doing, kid? Shooting overalls, sir.

Boland, what are you doing here?

Well, Ritchie, a white woman got knocked dead in her own home...

Inside a gated community.

Don't you think they'd call me?

- I see. - What do you got?

Come on.

Burglar broke in the back door...

Obviously not counting on the presence of Karen Christianson.

Surprise, struggle, there she is.

- Burglar? Anything taken? - Her diamond wedding ring.

Do we have anybody who saw the burglar climb over the wall?

And did you check the video camera?

Her husband said the ring was worth ten grand.

- Really? - Look, it's not a sex crime, if that's what you're thinking.

I mean look at her. Her clothes are still intact.

Mr. Christianson?

Yes?

I need to talk to you, whenever you're ready.

Notice anything missing? Besides the ring?

No. Not yet, anyway.

Well, when I was down in your dining room,

I noticed there was a Greek drama mask.

Now, they usually come in pairs, you know, tragedy, comedy.

I only saw comedy.

Well, I have no idea where the other one is.

- We had two. - Ah.

Anything unusual or strange going on between you two?

Arguments? Fistfights?

- No. - Really?

No! Nothing important, that is.

- Our marriage was great. - Oh.

- Do you have any idea who could have done this? - No.

- No suspicions? - No.

Well, that'll be all for now, but I'll be in touch.

How well do you know the deceased?

Oh, I knew her pretty well. I mean,

she would always help with all the things

that I'd organize for Casa del Norte.

- Did you like her? - Oh, yes. Very much.

Well, somebody didn't.

What's your name?

Amaryllis Potter.

- Amaryllis? - Uh-huh.

Like the flower?

Yeah, like the flower.

My wife left me.

Well, it sure looks that way.

So...

What can you tell me about the Christiansons?

Not much. Not much.

You weren't very friendly with them?

No, I wasn't particularly close with them.

Well, they're only about 100 feet from you.

- Well, so what? - Well, I'd call that close, wouldn't you?

- Lay off. - Why are you upset?

Well, of course I'm upset. Christ, Karen's dead.

Karen? You mean Mrs. Christianson?

Yes, Mrs. Christianson.

Did you have an affair with Mrs. Christianson?

Now, listen.

You can screw around and still not have killed her.

A lot of people screw around. I used to screw around.

Does the husband know?

No murder weapon, no ring.

So he's not a total moron. He could have stashed it somewhere else.

It doesn't mean a thing.

You really think it's him?

Him... Or somebody else.

...an entrance into the land of light and joy...

In the fellowship of thy saints...

Through Jesus Christ, our lord.

Amen.

Hey, Ben, I'm really sorry.

Mommy loves you.

You're my number one girl.

You're the special one.

I love you, baby.

Wait for me in the car, okay?

Lena.

Oh, hi, Ben. Hi.

Mmm, baby.

I was worried.

- Where have you been? - We've been staying at a hotel.

The police want to go through the place.

We didn't want to go back right away

- Uh-huh. - Sorry I didn't call.

- No, no, no. I'm sorry. I understand. - I just need some time, Lena.

Let's just wait a couple of weeks before we see each other.

We'll talk later.

- Yeah. I'll call you. - I'll call you.

Okay. Or maybe I could just visit, you know,

just to see how the girls are doing?

- That'd be great. - Dad.

- Oh, let me just say hi to the girls. - Of course.

- Hi, Ellie. Hi. - Hi.

How are you?

Mr. Christianson. Mr. Christianson, are you okay?

Mr. Christianson!

What's for dinner?

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

- We could order something. - Yeah, pizza.

Dad, can we move away from here?

Of course. But not right away.

Why not?

Well, we have to sell the house first.

- Besides, it's the middle of the school year and... - Dad, I'm scared.

Oh, honey.

Mrs. Potter installed an alarm system.

We're okay.

Hey, I have an idea. What if we all slept in here tonight?

Can we, Dad?

Good morning, Lawson.

Hi, Ben. How's everything?

- Oh, I'm hanging in there. How about yourself? - No complaints.

Except for this maintenance increase that Mrs. Potter handed me.

Oh, that, right.

Well, we discussed that at last Tuesday's meeting.

But you weren't there, were you?

No. Thinkin' of moving out.

Besides, I never go to those fucking meetings.

Right, those fucking meetings.

- They're boring. - Yeah, those fucking meetings.

Anyway, I just saw the police leave.

- That's right. - Right.

- So they questioned you? - Yes. Yes, they did.

- And now you're questioning me. - You seem a little on edge.

- Well I'm sleeping fine at night, Ben. - Let's just calm down here.

No, I'm calm. I'm real calm. Are you calm?

I think we're both calm.

Good.

Why don't we just let the police do their jobs?

And if you got a problem with that, why don't you just take it up with them, huh?

You know, what did you just say to...

Shit.

And where do you think you're going?

You still have to vacuum the living room, you know?

But I just did the upstairs. And it's not even dirty!

Yes, it is. It's filthy. And I will not have Dad see the house this way.

Do it!

Geez, who died and made you boss?

Okay.

Shit.

Why don't you take a picture, Lawson? It'll last longer.

Inger, I thought I told you to vacuum in here.

What are you doing? Put that mask down!

- But I'm just looking at it. - Give it to me!

Now, who could that be?

You pest! Give it to me, Inger!

Na, na, na, na, na, na. Hello?

Give me that mask, you little brat!

I'll kill you!

Give me that mask!

- Give it to me! - Girls! Girls, it's me! I've got some food!

Let go!

Oh, my god! Girls, what are you doing? Ellie, stop it!

Ellie, stop it! Ellie!

Listen, kids fight.

Oh, I... I know. I mean, I have a sister, and we fought.

I mean, believe me, we fought like hell.

But, I mean, you know, we pulled hair or pinched or kicked.

I mean, we didn't strangle.

Look, don't you think you're making a little too much

- out of this? - Ben. Ben.

Strangling. Serial killers strangle.

Not siblings.

I mean, they're girls, all alone, unattended here.

Ben, I really know what it's like to be a single parent.

I remember when I was a kid, I hit my brother over the head with a hammer.

If I'd have killed him, my life would have been very different.

Ben, it's a very big house, and... and you need somebody here.

We're doing fine.

I'm right around the corner. Just call me if you need me.

I will. I promise you. We'll see you next time. Okay. Good night.

Okay. Good night.-

Ellie. My God.

- What happened? - Just Sit down. I'll be out in a minute.

Ellie!

- You look... - Like Mom.

And that's Mom's dress.

Is it? Well, I'm surprised how good it looks on you.

Would you like some wine with your dinner?

Wine? Oh, yeah.

I want wine.

I don't know, you look a little underage to me.

Very funny. Ha-ha.

Mmm, Karen.

Mmm, Karen.

Dad?

Wait! You forgot your lunch.

- Thanks. - So what do you want for dinner tonight?

Oh, uh, I don't know.

Um, Mrs. Potter's going to the supermarket.

- She could get us some steaks or something. - Will you please go back inside!

Come on, right now! Ellie, come on. Jesus!

Is your name Ben Christianson?

Yes.

Do you live in Europe?

No.

Are you employed by Matrix Systems?

Yes.

Did you kill your wife?

No.

Are you a college graduate?

Yes.

Are you employed by Matrix Systems?

Yes.

Is your name Ben Christianson?

Yes.

Did you bludgeon your wife to death?

No.

I gotta tell you, I was nervous, very nervous.

Yeah. Well, the machine supposedly takes that into account.

But there's something else. I didn't kill my wife.

I may have wanted to do it. I may have wanted her dead. But I didn't do it.

I didn't kill her.

We're not accusing you.

Why don't you take your stuff and wait in the hallway. I'll be out in a minute.

Relax.

He's tellin' the truth.

According to poly here.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean he didn't hire somebody to kill her.

The results certainly don't discount that possibility.

Hi.-What?

Oh, yeah. Well, um...

I guess you're still getting over what happened to your mom, huh?

- What do you want? - Well, frankly, I'm a little concerned

about what I see going on around here.

I mean, it's not right for Ben to leave you girls here alone.

Well, thank you for your concern, but it's really none of your business.

I just want you to know that I live right over there,

if you need anything at all, okay?

What could I possibly want from you?

Ellie, who's there?

Oh, no one. Just loser... I mean, Lawson Smith.

- And he was just saying good night. - Good night.

Why did you tell me you would marry me?

When did I say that?

You said if it wasn't for Karen, you'd marry me!

I know, and I will. But not right now.

When?

We gotta wait for this whole thing to blow over.

And when does it blow over, Ben? When?

If I don't get my green card soon, I have to leave the country.

Can't you see how it would look?

Fine.

Fuck you.

Lena, Lena. Lena!

Can I get another, please?

Where were you? I was worried sick.

I was out. Out and about.

Well, you didn't call.

I didn't know if I should call Mrs. Potter or the police or something.

Well, I'm okay, okay?

I smell liquor on your breath. Have you been drinking?

Yeah. What of it?

I'll ask you one more time! where were you?

I'm tired. I want to go to bed.

- You know, I waited up all night for you. - You get off my ass.

Yeah?

Having a hard time sleeping?

Yeah.

Were you trying to get away from me?

You know, you were really mean to me tonight.

Well, you were really mean to me, too.

What about this morning?

- You were running around in that skimpy thing! - I mean, fuck you!

What do you want from me?

Do I have to do everything around here?

Do we have to argue like this?

I don't know.

I was talking to Mrs. Potter today about the new armed response system.

Dad!-What?

I just don't know what goes on inside your head sometimes.

I don't know what to think sometimes.

It's just been a tough period.

Same here.

I was really worried about you tonight.

Yeah, well, maybe I should have called.

But it's only because I care about you.

I care about you, too.

Remember when I was little and you used to kiss me like I was a movie star?

Geez. That was a while ago.

- I remember it. - You must have been about four or five.

I would lean back, and you would kiss me like Rudolph Valentino.

Kiss me.

I'll make the coffee.

Sure.

Hey, wait up! Your lunch.

Wow. Thanks.

I missed you last night.

- I should have called. - You'll be home tonight, right?

Of course.

And tell Ellie I'm bringing somebody home for dinner.

- Who? - Let's make it a surprise, okay?

Okay.

Bye, sweetie.

So, who do you think is coming over for this dinner?

- I don't know. He just said it was a surprise? - Mmm-hmm

Well, it's probably someone very important, like a coworker or something.

- He didn't want to freak me out. - What kind of coworker?

Somebody very important.

You know, Dad might be up for a promotion.

And if he doesn't get the promotion, it won't be because of this meal.

Inger, Ellie, I'm home.

Let me take your coat.

It's not a coworker. It's Lena!

Lena?

- Lena! - Hi!

Ellie! Do I smell smoke?

Isn't this just delicious?

It's wonderful. You cooked this yourself, Ellie?

Yes, I did.

Mmm. And you look so lovely tonight.

- You look more like your mother every day. - I don't look like my mother.

Everybody says I look like my father. In fact, I look nothing like my mother.

She's wearing Mama's dress.

Oh. I thought I recognized that dress.

That's so cute.

You know, when I was a little girl, i used to play dress-up too.

It's not dress-up. It fits.

Oh, I know, dear.

Wait. Hold on. You applied a little too much blush there.

Wait.

There. That's much better.

Mmm.

- What's going on here? - Can't I have Lena over for dinner?

Yes, but not as a guest. What are you thinking?

Is this a problem?

If it isn't a problem, why did you make it a surprise

springing her on me like that?

I am so tired. I'm gonna call a cab.

- I'll drive you home. - I think I have a cab company's phone number right here.

- I'll drive you. - It's okay. I'll call a cab.

That won't be necessary.

I'll be back in a little bit.

Aren't you coming to bed?

Yeah, sure. I'm just waiting for Dad to come home.

Okay. Good night.

Good night.-

- Dad? - Ellie? Are you still up?

Where are you? -Uh, I'm over at Lena's.

Look, honey, I had some car trouble, so I'm gonna have to stay over here tonight.

Honey? Ellie?

The Audi was driving fine this morning.

I know. Funny, isn't it?

Yeah, a real fucking riot.

Please, Ellie, don't use language like that.

- Lena? - Hi. I just picked up the other extension

to say how happy I was to see you tonight.

I didn't hear you pick up the other extension.

And the meal was scrumptious.

- So lock up and go to bed. - Dad!

- Be back tomorrow. Good night. - But...

Oh!

I haven't gotten to the good part yet.

Sammy Lee was from Tennessee. That's a famous poem.

Tell me that story when you were... When you were in school.

So tell us the story. Tell us the story.

- The one in the kitchen. - Okay, once,

we were in a restaurant...

That dessert was great, honey.

Expecting more car trouble tonight?

- What's that supposed to mean? - Just cut the crap, okay?

Inger, could you come in here for a second, please?

Lena and I are gonna stay up for a while.

I was thinking that it would probably be best

if you two slept in your own beds tonight.

- Is that okay with you? - Sure.

He didn't ask me if it was okay.

You're old enough to sleep in your own bed.

Hi, Lena.

Hi.

- Thirsty? - Yeah, that's right. I came down for a glass of water.

Want mine?

No, thanks.

Why not? You're thirsty.

You want it. So take it.

Thanks.

Drink it.

Well, if you insist.

I mean, it's not as if i poisoned it or anything.

But you're looking at me, expecting me to drop dead, aren't you?

Relax, Ellie,

I'm just joking.

Let's turn a light on the situation here.

Look, Ellie, I know how you feel about your father.

I understand, because I felt the same way about my father.

I even dreamed about marrying him.

But of course, that's not possible.

Look, Ellie.

One day you'll find someone you'll be attracted to...

And then you'll have sex with him, and maybe even fall in love.

Oh, really?

Yes, just like your father and I.

- Lena? - In here, sweetheart!

- What are you two doing up? - Just quenching our thirst.

And enjoying a little girl talk.

Well, after you're done, you should get to bed.

You've got school tomorrow.

Good night, Ellie.

Lookin' good today, sasquatch.

Thanks.

We told the police Ellie was in school the day her mother died.

And how do you know that? - Homeroom attendance records.

What about the rest of the day?

She was seen around school.

I guess I could check with each teacher individually.

Would you do that for me, hon? I'd appreciate it.

Here's the number. Just give me a call. Thank you.

I will.

Now that we've had Lena over a couple of times, I was wondering, and also

Lena was wondering, too, what do you guys think about it?

About Lena and I seeing each other and her coming over?

You guys are getting married?

I told you, Ben, that's what they're thinking.

Inger, we want you to realize that nobody is marrying anybody.

- That's right. - But you are getting married.

Ben, speak to her.

We're not rushing into anything.

It's just that sometimes grownups need other grownups.

Your father loved your mother very much.

We're not even thinking about marriage right now.

Then what are we thinking about?

We're just... Spending some time together.

Do you, Ben Christianson,

take Lena Anderson to be your lawful wedded wife,

to have and to hold, to love and to cherish,

in sickness and in health,

for richer, for poorer,

for better or for worse...

I didn't tell them how you were my favorite.

I didn't tell them how you were my favorite.

You're my favorite.

My favorite.

Detective Boland.

Why don't you call me James?

- You sure sing pretty, Amaryllis. - Thank you.

Uh, so are you off-duty or on-duty?

I'm looking for Ellie Christianson. You seen her?

Hey, you all right?

Jesus.

- You all right? - Lawson. What the hell?

Usually when I come out here, it's totally quiet.

Play a few rounds,

It's soothing, you know?

Shit.

Tonight, there's nothing but noise.

Well, you should go. There's free beer.

- You're wasted. - I had one drink.

For the toast.

Stand up.

Close your eyes.

Why, do you want to kiss me?

Just close your eyes.

- What? - Are you sure she's here?

She's here. You know, I did see her drinking earlier.

Maybe she's in the ladies room.

Can you check it out for me?

- Yeah. Sure. - Thanks.

Come on.

- I'm hopping. - Okay.

Now recite the alphabet backwards.

- Uh... -"Z"

Starts with "z." Come on.

Z-Y-Y...

- You know what... - Just one drink, huh?

Right.

I think that I have to go wash up somewhere.

We can go to my place.

Can we run away?

We can leave right now.

Ellie?-Ellie?

- Ellie? - Do you wanna look in Ellie's room with me?

I'll check in the back.

Whoa.

We don't have a lot of money, right?

I mean, I don't know how much you have, but I have hardly any.

So, we just live off the land.

Use the national park system.

Sleep under the stars. And I'm pretty good with my hands,

so I can get a job as a day laborer.

I'll make just enough to get us food and gas to get us to the next place.

Mmm, I don't know.

If we do leave, I don't wanna be a gypsy. I think we should settle down.

- Where? - Well, how 'bout up north, like Portland?

I mean, we can get an old house, something that's really cheap and broken down.

You don't wanna do that. Let's travel.

We could start a bed-and-breakfast.

And I could be the hostess. And I can receive the guests

and make sure their towels are clean.

And I can do all the cooking. I'm a great cook. And you could be the handyman.

- You can do the plumbing and the carpentry. - But it costs money.

Hardly any.

- She wouldn't run away. - On our wedding night?

Oh, yes, she would. She always talked of running away.

She had the suitcase, the...

Wait a minute.

I mean, the most important thing is that we get the hell out of here tomorrow.

Okay. Just turn off the lights.

Oh, hi sweetheart.

Did you see Ellie's suitcase? Huh?

Thank God.

Her suitcase is here.

Fuck.

It's Boland.

Don't worry. I can handle this clown.

- Mr. Smith. - What's up?

We're looking for Ellie Christianson.

- What for? - Well, she's been missing since the wedding.

I'm real sorry about that, Ben.

- Have you seen her? - No.

You wouldn't mind if I come in and look around, would you?

- Yeah. Yeah, I do mind. - Why's that?

I don't know why you think that she'd wanna be with me.

What? That's not what we're suggesting, you bastard.

Now, Ben, that is exactly what you're suggesting.

- You son of a bitch! - Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- God damn it! - Easy, Ben.

You know what...

I can't fight both of you.

Listen, pally, I can get a warrant...

- In 30 minutes. - Yeah, you go get your fucking warrant!

Ellie?

Um, it's open.

Everything's okay.

Okay, I-I should go home.

- Home? - Yeah.

What's stopping us from leaving right now?

Well, I have to get my clothes, don't i?-Not really.

You gonna buy me new ones, Mr. Moneybags?

Uh.

I gotta, I gotta go.

Listen...

We'll leave at 8:00 in the morning.

Okay.

Eight o'clock.

Yeah, that's Smith, as in Smithsonian.

[ON RADIO] Ten-four. That's a search warrant for the following location.

Ellie.

What happened?

Well, young lady,

Where have you been?

I've been lookin' all over for you.

We can handle it from here, detective.

If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to your daughter a few minutes.

- It's kinda late. - I know...

- Ben, you've gotta talk to her. - Sure. I will.

Ben, talk to her now. Remember what we discussed.

Be gentle, but firm.

Be loving, but tell her that this behavior won't be tolerated.

- You're right. Absolutely. - It's not my place.

Not yet. It's yours.

- Yep. - So, go talk to her now.

Where were you all night?

Lena and I are very disappointed in you.

We were worried sick.

That isn't important right now, I suppose.

I'm glad you're back in one piece, but I really must say this to you.

We will not tolerate this behavior in the future.

You're living underneath my roof now. When you're 18, you're on your own.

But right now, today, you're underneath my roof.

You got it?

Will you something, for Christ's sake?

Now, I want you to go downstairs right now and apologize to Lena.

Apologize for getting drunk.

And believe me, I know you got drunk because Mrs. Potter told me.

I want you to go downstairs and say you're sorry,

and tell her that you hope we have a nice honeymoon.

Go downstairs right now and say it!

I won't say that.

- You won't? - No.

I'll tell her you have a mole on your left ass cheek.

- No. - I will.

You can't.

- I'll tell her. - Please, please...

Everything.

Everything!

You're so... weak.

What do you want from me?

I don't understand.

When did you decide this? Right now?

No, not right now.

I've been thinking about it for quite a while.

Ben, we've only been married for 12 hours!

And I've been thinking about it for 12 hours. It's just not gonna work out.

You're not even willing to give us a try?

I think I've given it all I had,

and I think i made a mistake.

You made a mistake?

You made a mis... Fuck!

What happened with Lena?

Lena went to Mrs. Potter's. We'll talk about it tonight.

So Lena left? That's too bad.

I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to her.

Oh, I guess I should go to work.

No use wasting a good vacation day if there's no honeymoon.

And you two better get to school.

I won't be going to school today.

Well, then... You'd better get to school.

- Well? - I asked you first.

First Mom. Now Lena.

I guess Dad's just unlucky in love.

What have you done, Ellie?

I'm going to school.

But you don't have to leave for another half-hour.

Hello?

- Hey, Ellie. It's Lawson. - I know who it is. What do you want?

It's 7:45, and I'm ready to roll.

- I'm not going. - What are you talkin' about?

I mean, we had plans to get out of here.

We talked about it. That's all.

Ellie, listen. You've gotta listen...

Hi, honey.-Lena?

Hi, Inger.

I'll leave you two alone for a few minutes, okay?

We never got the chance to say good-bye, did we?

We could play until the bus comes.

Inger, I'm not in the mood right now.

You could put makeup on me.

Sweetheart, I don't think so.

Could we, please?

Okay, come here.

Just look at me, please.

Just go to the window and look at me.

I've thought about it, okay?

Screw my plan of traveling around. It was a dumb idea.

Let's just head up to Portland and open that bed-and-breakfast.

- The more I think about it, the better I like the idea. - But you have no money.

But I'm good with my hands.

Come on, Ellie.

It's a great idea. Come on. A bed-and-breakfast.

It's a wonderful life!

Lawson, you've gotta control yourself.

I love you.

- I don't know when we'll see each other again. - Soon, I hope.

- Yeah. - Bye.

Bye.

Oh, Inger just left, so we won't be needing three mugs.

Oh, I should have told you this a little earlier. It's not for Inger.

Uh, Lena, you say anything, and I'll arrest ya.

Lawson?

Hello?

We have an alarm system, you know. And you've probably set it off.

Ow!

Hello?

- James, it's Amtek. - Yeah.

There's been a break-in in the Christianson house.

I'm right here if you need anything.

You guys should move back...

Lawson.

Your first hunch.

Too bad he didn't have a weapon.

Internal affairs is gonna have a field day.

Probably won't affect your retirement.

How about some cocoa?

I've never touched the stuff.

Come with me.

Where's Inger?

Dad!

Yeah, go to her.

Hi, honey. Sweetie, I'm here.

I don't wanna go back.

You're not going back. You're gonna stay here.

They'll never be another like her. I loved her.

Is she really... dead?

Yes, sweetheart, she's dead.

I'm so sorry.
