Original subtitles

My mom always taught us to stay on guard.

Stay one step ahead.

The tables can turn faster than you can blink,

so if you've got anything worth keeping, you hold on to it,

because believe you me, they'll try and take it from you.

Mom!

Shit, what time is it? I fell asleep.

Shit, shit, shit. I'm late for work.

Joe's gonna do that thing he does where he acts all stern and disappointed.

We hanging out later?

I can't. I have an English paper to write.

Okay.

-Love you. Love you.

-Hi, is everything good? -Hello.

Wedding wellness check.

We are mere days away.

Ooh, yikes.

-You getting cold feet? -Let me check.

Ooh, no! Hot! Red-hot, like hot coals.

-Oh.

Life is always either a tightrope or a featherbed.

What?

It's Edith Wharton. Since we're getting married in her house.

Six days.

Six days. Whoo!

Dad, do you have any brothers or sisters?

Yes, your Aunt Tracy. She's a nightmare.

-Does she have any kids? -Hmm.

Sweet Jesus, no.

What about my grandparents?

Buddy, you know they passed away before you were born.

-You're not lying about that, are you? -Who would lie about something like that?

By all means, make yourself at home.

There's that smile.

-What you making? -Family tree project.

Oh.

-What's that buried under the tree? -Kenny.

Okay. It's gonna be a great presentation.

So Austin and I are gonna order pizza for lunch.

Okay, have fun.

Uh, so that'll be $20 a pie, right?

Plus snacks, right? We gotta have snacks.

You asking me to dance?

I'm fresh out of prison.

I'm sure you remember why and who's responsible for that.

Hmm. You, for being a criminal?

Is that what you think?

Gil, don't push it. I'm letting you see Austin, okay?

In your house, under the watchful eye of Daddy--

Gil.

See, this… this is the trouble.

I just can't stay mad at you. Too pretty.

You know, there's nothing more dangerous than a beautiful girl.

Sure there is.

A violent man.

-Hey, bud. Morning.

Oh, you're here.

Hey, Paul. Good to see you, brother.

-Everything okay? -Yeah, everything's great.

I'm just heading out to do some wedding shopping.

-You want me to come with you? -No, that's okay.

But don't forget you're taking Austin to Zach's.

-I'll pick you up before dinner, okay? -Mm-hmm.

Mommy, what are you doing?

Ever heard of a place called Oklahoma?

-No. -It's great.

There's a city called Tulsa right on the river.

When the sun sets, it turns the whole river orange.

You know what else?

Oklahoma even has a whole movie named after it.

It's a musical. Isn't that cool?

I like living in Austin.

I know.

And it's gonna be hard,

but we can do it, just the two of us.

We've done it before, yeah? All right.

Hey there. You're home early. How was your day?

Long.

Hey, Ginny. What you drawing there?

Airplane.

It looks great.

Hey, guess what?

Yeah. What's for dinner?

Uh, there's leftover chicken.

Leftovers?

See, this is why you're lucky to have me,

because you are a terrible cook, and nobody else would put up with you.

I have to put up with so much, don't I, Ginny?

I just give and give and give.

-Your mom is a lot of work.

She looks nice though, doesn't she?

Yeah.

So pretty.

You are getting stale as day-old bread.

I wanna talk to you.

I was wedding shopping.

What exactly do you think you're gonna find?

"Oh, Georgia wants to use painted seashells for her place settings."

"Nab her, boys."

Cute. Cute.

I know all about you, Georgia Miller.

Or Mary Atkins, or whatever else you go by.

I know you've been married twice.

One of your husbands' body was dug up, the other's a missing person.

Then there's the Blood Eyes,

the biker gang you're linked to.

They've got a colorful history of criminal activity, don't they?

And I know you lost custody of Ginny when you were running the gambling ring.

So you can prance around here, with your table settings,

but I… I wouldn't put anything past you.

Oh my God.

You have nothing.

Excuse me?

You wouldn't be telling me all this, like some evil villain in a bad Bond movie

if you actually had anything you could pin on me.

You have nothing.

You can't get me on anything.

It's over.

I won.

But have a great day.

I feel bad for Paul.

You think if he knew who you really were, he'd ever wanna marry you, huh?

We good?

Yeah.

-I hate the Sunday brunch crowd. -Ugh, I know.

All my friends are hanging out without me and I'm stuck here.

-Hey, Ginny. -Hey, Bryon.

You excited for Wellington?

Um, kind of nervous. I should have just done football.

Why didn't you?

Hey, um, do you know if Bracia's, like…

Is she into anyone?

Oh my God. Do you like Bracia?

No, Ginny, you can't tell her, okay? Seriously. Please.

Oh, well, I have to tell her everything immediately.

No, no, don't. I'm kind of planning on asking her out.

-After Wellington's over.

Don't say anything, okay?

-Okay. Okay.

This is very yay.

Not my Tom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Tom.

Zach, can you get that? Maybe Austin left something.

-Hi, Zach. -Hi.

Hi, Cynthia.

-Aw! -Hi.

Hey.

I--

I-- Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I don't know where that came from.

-No, it's okay.

-What are you doing here? -I'm picking up Austin.

Oh, um…

But Gil grabbed him already.

I'm gonna kill Gil.

But he said that you said it was okay.

No, yeah, it is. Thanks.

Sure.

Yeah, I definitely failed yesterday's test.

Sorry, man.

I think I'm gonna join you in red.

-Are you? -Yeah.

-Delinquent. I like it.

Hey.

-Hey, guys. -Hey.

Oh my God.

Are you excited to have a class with me?

Yeah, I guess.

Okay.

I don't like that you had to drop down two levels.

You shouldn't be the one who's punished.

You're being kind of weird.

-Are you ready for English? -Come on, Gin Gin.

Ready to see where they put the Curriculum 2 kids?

Yeah, where the lighting's bad and the standards are low.

Dude.

This is excellent.

I can finally copy off someone who's smarter than Abby.

Hey!

Yeah, yeah.

No, no.

Good work.

You can do better.

And, Marcus, I haven't gotten anything from you.

I'll get it in later.

Mm-hmm.

I thought that's why we couldn't hang out Sunday.

All right, everybody,

we are going to still be working on Romeo and Juliet.

You know what?

I don't like Romeo. I think he's dumb.

You know what? Me too.

I mean, the guy never even checked for a pulse. Impulse control, my guy.

Oh, Jordan, valuable insight, but we're still on Act Two.

If I died, would you die too?

No, but I'd be like, really, really sad about it.

-This is my life.

-What's the problem? -Come on, open your books.

-Ginny, you wanna borrow mine? -I've got my own copy.

I read it in eighth grade at my old school and in ninth grade at the school after.

-Who wants to read first? -Of course you did.

Brodie, I feel like you're sending me looks that it is you.

-Um, you are mistaken. I, um--

Up you get.

You made me.

-I don't wanna…

Well, I have to now.

I can't talk in class.

"Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!"

-Holy Saint Francis!

"Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear…"

Oh brother!

"…so soon forsaken?"

"Young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts,

but in their eyes."

Ah. That's how you talk to women.

"Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine

hath washed thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline!"

Mm! Brother, cheeks.

"To season love that it doth not taste

the sun not yet thy sighs from heaven's clears."

"Thy old groans ring yet in mine ancient ears."

Bring it home, baby! Let's go!

That's good!

-Yes! -Thank you, miss.

-No-- -Thank you!

I love Shakespeare!

Do not put Mom--

Hi, Mom. Yeah. Hi.

Hi. Um…

Yes, come in.

Mom, I love you. I gotta go.

Hey. You're just in time for judgment day.

Oh, that doesn't sound good.

Nope.

But this budget is what's best for Wellsbury. Can't make everyone happy.

So unless there's some other alternative revenue stream,

the schools aren't getting more money, not without someone else taking a hit.

Everyone's taking a hit.

The economy is garbage, and the world is on fire.

Small businesses are struggling. There's not enough money to go around.

That's very helpful, Nick. Thank you.

-Hmm.

-Ah.

Who were you on the phone with?

Oh. Uh, my parents. We were talking about the wedding.

-Oh. -They're getting very excited.

-They're excited? -Yeah.

They're not excited.

It's okay.

I'm gonna be working late on this tonight, so I'm gonna have to meet you at the club.

-You're not coming home for dinner? -No.

Okay. Well, I guess Ginny's working tonight too. That's all right.

Maybe I'll surprise Austin with some McDonald's.

Ooh, gourmet.

You know, it's super annoying

how far I have to drive around here to get to a McDonald's.

Why? It's one of my favorite things about Wellsbury.

No chain restaurants in town zones. It's…

It keeps it homey.

-It's nice. -Yeah, I love it too.

-All right, well, I'll see you tonight.

Yep.

Hey, Georgia, um, will you sit somewhere where I can see you?

I have a feeling I'm gonna need to be able to find a friendly face tonight.

Of course.

Team Paul always.

Mmm… Not everyone is.

Okay, what's with you?

Nothing.

Well, it's just… Jesse is acting weird.

Weird how?

Well…

I don't know, it feels like we've hit a wall or something.

Like I'm feeling him pull away kind of.

It's like he's got one foot out the door or something.

If he's pulling away, let him.

You have never liked Jesse, and that's true. No, it's true.

What is not to like about him?

I don't get it. He is a third-grade teacher.

He's Chris Pine-level hot. What is it, Georgia, please?

I just want you to be happy.

Okay, well, please let me be happy with the hot teacher.

Of course I'm mad.

You let our kids get hurt and tried to hide it from me.

I'm sorry.

Speaking of my wedding…

Is that how you open conversations now? "Speaking of my wedding?"

'Cause we weren't speaking of your wedding.

But I was thinking about my wedding. 'Cause I'm always thinking about it.

Okay, speaking of your wedding.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor

of giving a speech, giving me away.

You mean walking you down the aisle and giving you away?

With my dress? You wouldn't fit.

No one gave you away when you married Kenny.

-Would you have given me to Kenny? -Good point.

Mmm.

But you know, Mom, the whole prospect and idea of someone giving you away

is inherently patriarchal.

Oh, the patriarchy has way too firm a hold on me.

I grew up on low-rise jeans and America's Next Top Model.

It's too late for me. Leave me, but save yourself.

-What do you say? Will you?

Give you away to Paul?

Give a speech.

-Of course. I'd love to. I'd be honored.

What?

Um…

Well…

I want you to…

…to hear this from me and not anybody else.

Oh God, who'd you kill?

Mom, it was a joke!

-It was an accident. -Mom!

I swear to God it was an accident.

I just wanted to make him pass out for a few hours,

but I obviously messed up the dose, and it was a long time ago.

I swear to you, it was an accident.

I, um-- I-- How--

How… How am I supposed to take in this information?

-Seriously? -I know.

I know, okay?

Look, believe me, it's not easy to live with.

Um, okay, what was his name?

-Anthony Green.

Technically-- Well, he was my first husband.

-Your first husband? -You were a baby.

Oh.

Officially, he's a missing person.

Well, that's… that's good. That's good.

Yeah, now you have it. That's everything.

That's the last skeleton out of my closet.

And it was an accident?

Hand to God.

And… And that's it?

Right? That's all?

No one else you purposely or accidentally unalived?

That's it. You know all my secrets.

Okay.

Just since therapy, you know, we've been doing so good,

and I just--

I wanted to be honest with you.

I don't think that's what Dr. Lily meant, but, um…

Yeah, no, thank you for being honest I guess.

Hey, I'll take it.

-Yeah, that feels good.

Whew! Yeah, I feel lighter.

I feel kind of sick, but I'm happy you're happy.

Good. Me too.

Couch?

I am heading across the street before work.

Want me to walk you over there? Give you away?

Thank you, but I… I got it covered.

Okay, well, don't forget that you're babysitting tonight.

Paul and I are going to that board meeting.

Yeah. Uh, right, I'll… I'll be home after work.

-Good talk. -Hmm.

So, what? You start dating Ginny, and you're just a little love expert now?

Hardly.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know if love is always a good thing.

Shit.

I don't know if I wanna be with anyone.

Sometimes it…

doesn't feel like a good idea.

Shit.

It's not Ginny. I love Ginny.

Uh…

Hey. So how are you and Marcus?

What?

-Why? -You know, he's such an idiot.

If he ever broke up with you, he'd be the world's dumbest person.

Okay. Um, why are you saying that? Did he say something?

No, nothing.

Sorry.

Hey, uh, can you give this milkshake to Jordan on your way out?

-Ginny. Hey, what's up? -Hi, Jordan.

I know what this is. This is the anniversary dinner, right?

You know, I'm very romantic.

Yeah, you brought her to Blue Farm.

Okay, when you and Marcus hit three years, then you can come and judge me, okay?

-Yeah.

What'd you get her? There's been talk about this.

-You better have pulled through. -Oh, are you ready for this?

Boom. I've been saving up for months, right?

It's got a real emerald in it, 'cause that's her birthstone, obviously.

And I know that because we did this whole astrology compatibility thing,

and as it turns out, we are very compatible.

Very romantic.

Okay, be careful she doesn't choke.

-Come on, she's not gonna choke.

-Hey, Ginny. -Hey.

You guys are cute.

Thanks.

Um, my shift just ended, but happy anniversary.

-What's going on with her?

I don't know.

-I got you a milkshake.

Bottoms up, you know?

I think I'm gonna go introduce myself.

Oh yeah, that'll show him.

Listen, I'm sorry that Ginny dropped AP English.

She's very bright, always hands in thoughtful essays,

but there's nothing I can do.

She dropped your class?

It's a shame.

It was her decision.

I did not know that. Did you know that?

-I did not, but good riddance.

Cynthia, I got my application in for that apartment that you found me.

Seriously, I can't thank you enough for helping me stay closer to my son.

-You're welcome.

-Well, hey there, G. -How did the board meeting go?

I couldn't make it, because, well, I didn't wanna go.

Shall we?

What did you say to the PI?

Nothing.

Gil, what did you say?

So paranoid. Truly…

…I'd forgotten how paranoid you are.

Gil.

I said nothing.

But I do know a few fun things.

I know that you're still running scams.

Your little friend Cynthia over there, she told me

that she thinks you've been stealing money out of a work account.

She's making it up, okay? She has it out for me.

-Gil. -Sorry.

You do remember who you're talking to?

I bet Paul would be super interested to know your history with that.

What do you want?

What do I want? Hmm, what do I want?

Well, I'd like the last few years of my life back.

I would like a relationship with my only son.

You want money.

Hmm.

I'm not 19 anymore.

You are forever 19. You are forever 9.

You are stuck in a trailer with your perv stepdad

and your strung-out Mom till the day that you die.

And I think that people see that.

I think that's why you wanna marry big mayor man, right?

Protection, respect.

I am marrying Paul, and you are not gonna stop me.

Stop you?

No, no, no, I am thrilled. I'm getting you a crock pot.

Because I've done my research on pretty boy.

He comes from that old New England money, honey.

His daddy has a boat in Nantucket.

And that's why I don't want any PI ruining a good thing here.

-You're gonna blackmail me. -You owe me, G.

But don't worry--

-Bye. -See ya.

Don't worry.

I won't tell Paul that under this Wellsbury facade

is a lying, deceitful thief.

And in exchange,

you're gonna start getting me my life back.

Mm-hmm.

You know, it's a good thing that Paul doesn't really know who he's marrying.

He has no idea that you're about to ruin his life.

All he sees

is this…

pretty little face.

See, we are on the same team.

We have Austin to think about.

You can't keep picking him up from school, picking him up from playdates.

You just don't get it, do you?

I can do whatever I want.

I control this situation. I have the upper hand here.

You can see that, right?

No matter what you do,

you're stuck with me.

So it's "you can run, but you can't hide?" Seriously?

No.

No, you can't run either.

Are you hungry? Because the club here is really good.

Hi.

Hi.

I had a bad day.

Me too.

Hi.

Where did you run off to after commandeering the meeting tonight?

Right.

Okay.

-He seems kind of pissed.

Marcus, have you got your essay?

No.

Mm-hmm.

-One of these days. -Yeah, yeah.

Turn around, please. Face front.

Hey, there's Brodie.

Hey, nice that you could show up on time. Have you got your essays?

-Yeah, we handed it in, uh, online. -Yeah.

Hey, G.

Gil, what did I tell you about just showing up?

And what did I tell you?

He's my son, and I'll be with him whenever I want.

Got us hockey tickets tonight. He had so much fun last time.

No.

-G… -Not tonight, no.

Don't tell me I can't take my son to a hockey game.

-Georgia!

Hey. Cynthia.

I was wondering if Austin wanted to come over for a playdate.

Zach had so much fun with him the other day.

Hey, Joe, can I leave a little early tonight?

It's Wellington.

-I do not care. -Joe…

-Ginny… -You're the one who seems off.

Ginny, do you have a second? It's important.

I'm working.

It's about your mom's late husband.

Not Kenny again.

Not Kenny.

Her other husband, a man named Anthony Green.

I know you don't like me.

It's not that I don't like you, it's that I hate you.

Okay.

Look, I don't know what you know, or what you don't, but Anthony Green--

Is a missing person.

Right.

You aren't gonna shock me with any new information. I get it.

You're after my mom. It's all very Agatha Christie.

Is that all?

Hey, listen.

I know you wanna protect your mom.

Because she has protected you all your life, right?

But let me ask you this. Can you protect everyone else from her?

Now, I'm leaving, okay? It's over.

I'm not being paid to be here right now. I'm here because I really am worried.

Ginny, your mom…

your mom is a dangerous person.

Now, she thinks she can play God,

but these are people's lives she is playing with.

I know you think she wouldn't hurt you or your brother,

but that doesn't mean she wouldn't hurt someone else.

And if you know what she's capable of,

and you protect her, and you don't tell anyone,

others may die.

This time, it would be your fault.

Thanks for taking Austin.

For, uh… For earlier.

I don't know what you saw, but, um…

Well, uh, it's complicated.

Want a drink?

Of course.

Are you high, Josephine?

You like the duke?

Ugh! I hope for your sake you're drunk or drugged

because the only alternative is that you're painfully stupid.

Lady Blair, I did not say I like him.

As you know, I hate these mating rituals.

I am merely commenting on his elegance of countenance.

Hmm. Stupid, I see.

I hate him as much as I knew I would.

I just was not expecting so firm a jaw

on so weak a man.

My dear sweet child,

let me tell you a little something about love.

I think I'm losing my mind. Do you ever feel like that?

All the time. I can't tell if I'm the crazy one, or if everyone else is.

Oh, you're crazy.

You wanna hear something crazy?

I slept with someone.

-Yeah.

I cheated on my dying husband.

Cynthia.

With Joe.

-Joe? -From Blue Farm.

-You slept with Joe? -Couple times.

"Joe" Joe?

I'm a mess. Ugh. I've lost it.

I'm sorry, I-- J… Joe?

And I… I don't know why I'm telling you this, of all people.

I just…

At Thanksgiving, they said that Tom would be gone by Christmas,

and it's now February.

And it's… destroying me,

and it's destroying Zach, just seeing him in there suffering,

not knowing who we are.

And I feel so guilty,

because I know that he's hanging on for me, for us,

and I just wish that he knew it was okay to let go.

You know, Zach watching his dad fade away like this is…

I know.

I have tried so hard to hide who Gil really is from Austin. I--

It's important they have a good strong image of their dads.

Yeah.

This one time, Tom picked up Zach from school

and didn't even tell me he was doing it.

And they played hooky, and they went to Six Flags,

and… they came home that day,

all happy and sick from candy, and rides. And I…

I want Zach to think of that when he thinks of his dad.

Not this.

Not these last few months.

And I don't know how much longer I can go on like this.

I just wish…

I want it to be over.

Yeah.

I blocked Gil's apartment application.

You did what?

I blacklisted him.

He won't get approved anywhere in town for a unit.

Oh, he might get an apartment in Waterton or Lexington, but…

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

You're welcome.

It's so quiet. I'm gonna go look for those boys.

Okay.

Zach?

Austin?

What are you guys up to?

She's strong.

They're gonna be okay.

I'm gonna look out for them, I promise.

Okay?

It's okay. It's okay.

It's all gonna be okay.

It's all right. Okay.

Okay.

Cynthia!

Cynthia, I think it's time!

Please. Please don't do this, Marcus, please.

Please don't do this.

Follow me.

Follow me.

Follow me, please.

Hey, Zach's gonna be okay, all right?

You want me to make you something?

Maybe some hot chocolate?

Fine.

Joe.

Hey, what are you doing here?

-Uh, is Paul home? -No. No, he's at work.

Why? You wanna come in?

-Yeah, yeah, come on. -Yeah, okay.

Um…

I just came to give you these.

Ginny left 'em after your bachelorette,

and I just need to get them out of my possession, so…

Sorry I didn't give them back to you sooner.

Cynthia?

You were sleeping with Cynthia?

I mean, Jesus, Joe.

I thought we were friends.

Yeah, we are friends.

And I like Cynthia, God help me, I actually like her,

but I just…

You didn't tell me.

Now these?

Joe…

…do you know what these are?

Yeah, I know.

Did you?

Of course you did. 'Cause you know everything, right?

-There's nothing you don't think of.

Joe.

-These are yours, okay? -No.

-You should have them back. -No, no, just--

You take the damn sunglasses, okay? Because I don't want them.

Because you're engaged, and…

I mean, I tried.

I tried to put up boundaries and keep you at a distance.

But… But you… you won't let me.

You seek me out.

You come to me at Christmas Eve, you flirt with me.

I don't know what you're doing, Georgia, or why you're doing it.

I don't know…

I don't know why you kept those.

I don't know why you came here.

So just for the love of God, you take the sunglasses.

-But we're friends. -Yeah.

-I thought we were friends. -Yeah, we're friends.

And… if I misread all of this, Georgia, then I'm genuinely sorry.

But then why does it bother you so much that I was with Cynthia?

You're getting married,

and I don't wanna do anything to interfere with that.

But do you have feelings for me?

Because damn it, Georgia, there's something to feel here, right?

I'm getting married.

Yes, yes. I know. I know you are.

I-- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…

Honestly, I… I want you to be happy.

I really do.

But am I crazy? Am I just making it all up?

Did you ever think about it?

Joe…

I mean…

Look, you said it yourself,

there's nothing I don't think of.

-Okay.

Mom?

Mom?

What happened?

Oh, honey, what happened?

Marcus broke up with me.

-Aw.

-Ginny?

-She's okay. -I'm not okay.

No, of course not.

-I just mean you'll be okay.

I'll never be okay.

Oh, honey…

Oh…

He told me that he would love me forever.

-Men love saying that. They find it fun.

No, Mom.

It wasn't like that.

He meant it. I know he did.

I believe he did too.

You do?

He's a troubled kid, but he loves you.

He's just got his own demons.

He recognizes that you're the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Then why did he break up with me?

Because men are stupid, and I do not respect 'em.

Mom…

You're gonna be okay though, right, Peach?

I mean, I…

I don't want you hurting yourself, or…

-I'm not gonna hurt myself. -Okay.

But this hurts.

This hurts so much, Mom.

I don't understand. I love him.

I know. Believe me, I know.

Love isn't enough though.

I wish it was, but it isn't always.

Oh, that must be Paul.

I'm gonna make him go get us some ice cream.

Hi, honey. Oh…

Ginny had a tough night. She and Marcus broke up.

You think you're cute, don't ya?

Gil, the kids are upstairs.

You think you can do whatever you want? Is that what you think?

You made me lose that apartment.

Huh?

-Mom! -Dad!

Hey, buddy.

Your mom and I were just fighting. We're having an adult fight.

Don't come near us!

I have the gun now, so we're all gonna listen to me.

-Stay.

-Are you good? -Mm-hmm.

Are you good?

Great.

Are you calm?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, G.

-G… -Paul will be home any minute.

Ginny, grab the bleach and some paper towels.

Austin, run upstairs in my bedroom and get my sewing kit.

Mom, Marcus wants to know if he heard a gunshot.

Tell him no. Tell him you didn't hear anything.

You really shouldn't be texting if you guys are gonna move on.

Mom, what do I do? Do I call the police?

-No! -No!

-He was hurting you. -And what do we say?

"There's a nine-year-old who just shot a gun. Take him to juvie"?

Go get my sewing kit.

Hey, buddy, I'm sorry.

You know--

You know how much I love you, right?

I'm not mad that you shot me.

Go upstairs. Go.

-Ow!

Oh.

-Hey, gang. -Hi.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Kids are just going to bed.

Okay.

Hey, did you clean or something? It smells like, um, bleach here.

What's this?

I drew it. Do you like it? It's the four of us.

Dude, I love it.

That's… great, man.

Well, I'm wiped. Who's tired?

-I am. -Me.

Um, hey. Hey.

Look, I'm sorry about being so curt, you know, about the meeting.

-Just-- -Oh…

We could have figured out that solution together, you know?

You didn't have to surprise me like that, you know?

We're a team, and our image matters,

especially in public, so we just gotta have each other's backs.

Yeah.

-Great. Um… -Mm-hmm.

Wedding wellness check.

Just days away from legally being your partner in crime, Georgia Miller.

How are you guys? Austin, you okay?

-Why did Dad hurt you?

Your dad is such a nice dad to you.

He really does love you so, so much.

But he's not nice to me.

That's why I shot him.

Oh boy.

Okay, well, you know, shooting's not good either.

Sting first.

Yeah, I see there's been some mixed messaging here.

Mom, why didn't you tell us?

You were so young,

and you don't remember how hard it was before Gil.

At first, he was great.

He had a good job, bought you presents and clothes and--

Okay, but what about Dad? He could've helped you. Did he know?

Zion didn't know.

He couldn't have helped. I didn't want him to help.

-Grandma and Pop would've given you money. -Yeah, they would've.

But I was afraid they were gonna try to take you away from me.

I was really young and dumb.

Didn't feel like I had options.

I don't want Gil around you again, ever.

Like ever.

I hate him.

Guys, I love how much you're worried about me, but I'm okay. All right?

We should do something. File a report, go to the police.

No.

They put you in jail when you kill someone.

Yeah, but sweetie, you didn't kill your dad. Gil's fine.

I think you should tell Paul.

-No, I'm not doing that. -Why not? He can help.

Listen, I hate that you had to see that.

That must've been really scary.

I don't want you guys to see that ugliness ever,

but that ugliness exists, and I can't always shield you from it.

But we can get through anything if we stick together, right?

Us against the world.

We've been through it,

and Paul… hasn't.

He wouldn't get it.

I'm so sorry, Mom.

I'm so sorry that I didn't know what was going on.

He just-- He always seemed so nice.

You were so young, and I did a good job keeping it from ya.

I just wanna protect you guys.

I'm always gonna protect you, Mom.

I know, honey,

but I can protect myself, okay?

I can protect all of us.

Come here.

Hmm.

Why does Ginny suddenly wanna watch Oklahoma?

Should I hit Blockbuster, or…

Doesn't matter.

Baby, I'm sorry about earlier.

You know I love you so, so much, right? I don't wanna hurt you, ever.

I'm pregnant.

-Oh my God.

I took a test.

-I'm pregnant.

I'm gonna be a dad!

I've survived this long by staying one step ahead.

I thought this time was different.

I thought I'd finally found a safe place.

Hi there.

This is Georgia Miller. Sorry for calling so late.

Yeah, the big day is fast approaching. That's actually why I'm calling. Um…

Well, uh…

I'm afraid I have to cancel.

Yeah.

Yeah, the wedding's off.

Yeah, things didn't work out.

I know.

Yeah, I'm sorry about it too.

There's a voice in your gut, and it's always worth listening to.

It might not make any sense,

but no matter what, listen to that voice, always.

That voice knows something you don't.

If that voice says, "It's time to go,"

run.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Oh. You're not happy to see me.

Now is not a good time.

Oh, uh…

Okay, well, I can… Yeah, I can-- I could head out.

Okay.

Okay.

Um, I was gonna get flowers.

Uh, Cynthia's husband died tonight.

Oh, that's too bad.

Yeah.

Georgia said he went peacefully.

Georgia?

Yeah, apparently she was with him when he died.

So sad.

I thought Georgia hated Cynthia with a fiery, violent passion, but…

Anyway.

Do you want me to put your name on the card for the flowers?

-What? -The card.

Do you want both of our names on it?

Um…

Yeah.

Yeah, put my name down.

Okay.

Okay.

Wellsbury Police Department.

I'd like to report a suspected crime.

What's the crime?

Murder.
