[waves splashing]

[Ominous piano melody playing]

[♪]

[percussive instrumental playing]

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[Elizabeth] Yeah, it's, uh, quaint.

Oh, it's really hot, yeah.

[laughs]

Just some lady talking my ear off the whole time.

How's your day?

- [curtain rattling] - [birds chirping]

Yeah. Uh-huh.

I'm listening.

You just don't know.

I told you what happened when I met Judge Judy.

That's true.

Oh, these Hollywood types.

- Rhonda. - Hey, Joe.

That's two.

Honey, can you take the plates and the cups out?

- Mm-hmm. - They're over here.

It's all of this, take those, and--

And these, too, if you can get them all.

[Joe] Mm-hmm.

[sighs] All I ask is that she's polite.

You know, not just sitting there

with her big movie star sunglasses on.

Like, too good for everything.

If she's here, I want her to participate.

I'm sure she will.

I mean, look at this beautiful day.

[Gracie] Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?

Uh, the roof.

Okay, I'm not calling anybody's mother today

to say someone broke their neck and died.

We'll be so safe.

- Come on. Come on. - [Gracie] Charlie! Charlie!

Keep an eye on things for me, okay?

Honestly... [sighs]

[dramatic piano instrumental playing]

I don't think we have enough hot dogs.

[indistinct announcement over radio]

[male] I saw a movie she was in.

A pretty weird one, where she gets naked,

and does, like, a blood ritual.

I couldn't really follow it.

Where'd you see it?

Just on TV.

All right, I looked up Elizabeth Barry naked.

[screaming]

I think that's you.

[contemplative piano instrumental playing]

[♪]

[doorbell rings]

[♪]

[lively chatter]

[sliding door grinds open]

- [Elizabeth] Hi. - Just one little second.

It's such a pleasure to meet you.

You are so sweet. We're so happy to have you.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

I thought you were taller, you look taller on television,

but we're basically, the same size.

[Elizabeth] We're basically the same.

I-- I can't thank you enough for doing this,

- it's so generous. - [Gracie] Oh, my gosh,

well, I want you to tell the story right, don't I?

That's-- that's-- that's all I want.

I want you to feel seen and known.

Oh, those are my dogs, that's-- that's Zeus.

- And that's Dutch. And, uh... - [Elizabeth] Oh! They're...

Ignore that pool.

- It's a work in progress. - Always.

Oh, this was on your front steps.

Joe.

You're not gonna believe this.

- Hi. Nice to meet you. - [Elizabeth] Hi.

I'll get a garbage bag.

I have a sixth sense about these things.

Oh, God, I knew it.

- What is it? - Uh, it's a box of S-H-l-T.

We haven't had one in a while,

but it's just par for the course.

- Don't look so shocked. - Uh, do you know who sent it?

[Gracie] Uh, some sicko, probably wasn't invited

to any barbecues.

- You want? - [Elizabeth] Sure.

Oh, Cecile. Let me help you with that.

Um, okay, so make yourself at home.

Look around, talk to people, do what you have to do,

and, um, get yourself a hot dog.

- Okay. - [man whistles]

[man 1 ] Here we go. Here you go, boy!

[overlapping shouting]

- [man 2] Right here. Right here. - [man 1 ] Okay.

- [man 3] Go, let's go! - [man 2] Okay.

- [man 3] Go, let's go! - [man 2] Okay.

[Gracie] Charlie!

[Mary] Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[bell chimes]

[girls whispering excitedly]

- [Mary clears throat] - [girls giggling]

- [Mary] Hi. - Oh, hi.

You're Mary, aren't you?

Yeah.

- You're one of the twins? - Yeah.

My brother's around here somewhere.

Uh, our older sister is at college.

- Hi. - [Molly and Sofia giggling]

[Mary] I've never met anyone who was on TV before.

Well, your parents.

Yeah, but, like, for real.

Do you live in Calabasas?

No. [laughs]

[Rhonda] They're sweet, aren't they?

Very.

They're a very beloved part of this community.

[Elizabeth] I can see that.

[talking inaudibly]

[Elizabeth] So...

what is it you love most about Gracie?

[Rhonda sighs] She always knows what she wants.

She's unapologetic.

My son's been out of the house for a while now,

and it's quiet, but...

I can always call up Gracie and say,

"What are we doing today?" And...

there's always an answer.

It really feels like things just settled down and...

now, y'all are makin' a movie.

It's-- it's a very...

complex and-- and human story.

Just...

be kind.

[suspenseful orchestral music playing]

[Elizabeth] Eyes round, pointy.

Closed when they're open.

Pink lip color.

[♪]

Slight pout, forward leg.

Mechanical, just removed.

[Elizabeth on TV] Seriously, you guys,

I wanna thank everyone who voted for me.

It means more coming from you, the fans.

Thank you.

Clean, fresh, you.

Clean, fresh, you.

Clean, fresh, you.

[Gracie sighs]

You smell like charcoal.

Smoke.

Excuse me?

We have a gas grill,

so you just must be smelling smoke.

Yeah, well, it's stinking up the sheets.

Do you want me to shower?

What I want is for you to have showered

before you get in.

It's still smoky.

[whispers] I'm sorry.

- Okay? - [Gracie crying] Okay.

Okay.

[whispers] Everything's fine.

Okay.

[Gracie sobbing]

[dramatic piano instrumental playing]

[♪]

[camera shutter clicks]

[♪]

[Lydia] So [indistinct].

Those of you that have been in flower school, you--

You start with your greens in the base,

and then you choose your focus flower.

- How's that? - Do you like that?

- Yes. - Yeah?

I don't like this part.

So, my brother Scott,

is a rear admiral in the Navy.

And he says that order is its own reward.

Oh, that is so pretty.

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

You set a date?

No. We've-- we've been so busy.

We'll figure it out down the line,

when it feels right.

Mm-hmm.

I see.

- Beautiful, ladies. - Oh, thank you.

Lydia, this is Elizabeth.

She's playing me in a movie,

so I'm trying to show her a good time. [laughs]

That, I don't doubt.

Why do you wanna play me?

When they sent me the script, I just thought...

now here is a woman with a lot more to her

than I remember from the tabloids

and our, uh, cultural memory.

Um...

I don't really think about all that.

You don't ever dwell on the past?

I-- I-- [laughs]

- I have my plate pretty full. - Mm.

I mean, I know that for me, personally...

the past weighs on me.

You know, decisions I've made or relationships.

So, you just sit there, and you-- you think

about your history and your-- and your behavior.

Sometimes.

[both laugh]

Thank you so much...

for having me here for dinner in your home.

It really-- it means a lot.

[Charlie whispers] I don't want this.

[Gracie] Of course.

It's a shame that Mary couldn't join us tonight,

but she's at her friend's.

I don't want this.

- There you are. - Mom. Mom.

[Gracie] Charlie, sit.

[dog barking]

[Gracie clears throat]

He's got a severe calcium deficiency, don't you?

Mm. This is delicious.

- It's an Atherton-Yoo specialty. - Mm.

- Is this squab? - No, quail.

I brought them home myself.

You shot and, um, fried the quail yourself?

- Mm-hmm. - Gracie hunts all the time.

My daddy taught me.

I started going with him and my brothers

when I was really young, like four or five.

- Amazing. This was in Virginia? - No, um, Tennessee.

Tennessee, and then Illinois, and then Montana,

and then Virginia.

Charlie, eat.

I'm really not hungry. I had a late lunch.

[Gracie] What, your little gushy treats?

How old do you think I am?

[Gracie] I want you to look strong when you go to college.

You need your nutrients,

they're gonna think that you skipped a grade or something.

Can I be excused?

Boys are hard. [chuckles]

So what was it like moving all the time,

having to uproot your life and--

It was just my life. I was used to it.

I made friends wherever I went,

and I was very close to my brothers.

I think my childhood was exceptional.

[door slams loudly]

I have a lot of questions for both of you.

But please, please, tell me if this is not the best time.

It's as good a time as any.

Great.

Thank you.

I wanted to ask you about the box, the package.

What about it?

I mean, is that a routine occurrence?

I mean, it's a lot less than it used to be.

Did you ever consider leaving town?

Why should we be the ones to leave?

[loud music playing from another room]

Yeah, our whole family's here, my dad and Gracie's kids.

Mm.

Do you remember when you first met?

We don't really--

No, let me see, mm, I met Joe,

um, well, I remember knowing of his family.

They were the only Korean family in the neighborhood--

- Half. - [Gracie] Yes.

And my son, Georgie, was in the same year

as Joe at school, so technically,

I would've met him there,

but I don't have any memory of that.

- [Elizabeth] Right. - [Gracie] Um, the--

Everyone's pretty close knit here on the island,

and you kind of recognize everyone.

I know there was a point when he was friendlier

with Georgie, but I didn't really meet him

until he came to the pet store looking for a job.

[Elizabeth] The summer of-- After sixth grade?

[both] Seventh.

And then he started working there after school

and on the weekends.

[Elizabeth] And... what's it like

with Georgie, your-- your friendship?

I haven't really talked to Georgie much since then.

Georgie's very sensitive.

He always was, very, very sensitive.

What's your relationship like with him and your other kids?

How is that relevant?

[scoffs] It's my understanding that the movie takes place

between 1992 and 1994, am I wrong?

So, why would you need to know anything

that happened after that?

Well, um...

there are things that exist... inside people

that don't... necessarily come to head until later.

And, uh, I try and look for the seeds of those things.

- Um-- - Mm-hmm.

Of course, I talk to Georgie,

and to Billy and Cassidy, I'm their mom.

[Joe] Cassidy was just here last, what was it?

You'll see everyone at graduation.

The twins are in the same grade as Cassidy's son,

Peter, my grandson.

So, we'll all be at graduation together,

which you're welcome to come to if you're still here.

Thank you.

I hope that you are saving some room for dessert,

because I did make something very special, right?

- [crickets chirping] - [dog barking]

- [Elizabeth] Good night. - Yep, see ya.

Actually, I wanted to ask, um...

how would you feel about me coming to visit at--

You at work one of these days?

- [Joe] Fine, yeah. - Great.

- That's great. Thank you. - It's no problem.

I just realized, we're basically the same age.

- Yeah? - Yeah. I'm 36.

- [laughs] Yeah. - Funny, I-- I'm just

now starting to think about having kids,

and you're almost sending yours off to college.

- Yeah. - I can't imagine.

I-- I think it was almost, uh, I-- I think I--

I didn't know what a big deal it was,

in a way, because, you know...

Um, but anyway--

Yeah, I-- I'll text you, and we can schedule a time

for me to drop by.

Maybe, uh, write Gracie about it,

she's better at that stuff.

All right, well, yeah, get home safe.

- Yeah, you, too. - Mm-hmm.

[laughs] I-- I mean--

[car unlocks]

It's strange, even after everything she did,

and how public it was, she doesn't seem to carry around

any shame or guilt.

[man on phone] Yeah, that's probably a personality disorder.

All right, forget it.

I'm not trying to be glib.

I saw the TV movie you showed me.

But isn't it kind of radical?

I mean, clean slate every day.

No doubts, no regrets.

Meaning what?

Now, you have all these doubts?

No.

Oh, God, someone's calling me from the network.

I should probably take this.

- Love you. - Oh, I love--

[upbeat orchestral music playing]

[tour guide] Most of the other [indistinct]

Who was seeking wealth, political power or fame,

or to conquer land, maybe all four.

But Oglethorpe just wanted to do something good

for his fellow man.

In England, in those days,

if someone owed money, could not pay bills or...

[♪]

Hey. [laughs]

- Hi. Tom Atherton. - Hi. Elizabeth.

Thank you so much for-- for doing this.

My-- my pleasure. I-- I got you a-- a coffee.

It's regular drip. I hope that's okay.

Oh, thank you. I appreciate it so much.

I'm sure this isn't your favorite topic of conversation.

[Tom] You know, actually, I don't mind.

I think sometimes, talking can feel good.

That's great.

So I guess we will just dive in.

[Tom] You want something to eat?

Uh, no. I'm fine with just coffee.

- Hey, Carla! - Hi, Tom!

Yeah, that's my, uh, dental hygienist.

Anyway. Sorry.

So, maybe we can start with you telling me a little bit

about what Gracie was like when you first met.

Uh, she was beautiful.

You know, she was-- And we met at a party.

And I was drunk. [laughs]

Like, blotto drunk.

And she took care of me,

and we started dating after that.

She was in high school. I was in college.

She graduated. I graduated.

I proposed, and that was it.

A, B, C, D.

- You were happy? - Yeah.

I-- I-- I felt very happy.

Uh, I know later, she said that things weren't working,

but I gotta tell you, at the time,

I-- I felt like everything was normal.

Um, I mean, look, couples fight sometimes,

but our-- our lives felt good.

Yeah, we had a-- we had a great family, I thought.

You know, so it was, uh...

I was shocked.

Shocked.

And then, when I found out with who--

That must have been really hard.

[Tom laughs]

It was just so, uh, weird.

It was like-- like I didn't even know Gracie.

Like, what would make a 36-year-old woman

have an affair with a seventh grader?

Beats me.

How'd you find out?

I found out the way everybody found out,

when they got busted in that stupid stockroom

at the pet store, and she got arrested.

And then, here comes the cops, the house,

to tell me what's goin' on, and I'm like, "What?"

Aw, I'm so, so sorry.

Yeah, it's, like-- You know what?

It's okay. And I'm happy now.

You know, I don't see them very much,

but her and the boy, you know, they seem happy, so...

what do I know?

[indistinct announcement over TV]

[curtain rattles]

Oh, isn't that perfect?

Oh, that's really pretty.

[sighs] I feel like a bride.

You look youthful, like the first day of spring.

I just feel like everyone else is gonna be wearing more,

like, summery dresses.

Well, who cares about everyone else?

Me, I am saying I don't like it.

Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

- Just-- Then, try on the others. - Okay.

- Will they not be wearing robes? - Yes, they'll be wearing robes.

- This is for under the robe. - Ah.

- I heard you saw Tom. - Yes, for coffee.

How was he?

- He's handsome. - Oh, yes, he's very handsome.

I could see how being in a relationship with him,

in a marriage, would be isolating.

Precisely.

Why'd you marry a man like Tom?

I was young, and he was--

Seemed perfect on paper.

It was a different time.

My father used to say, you're ei-- [laughs]

You're either leaving this house in a veil or in a box.

- [laughs] - No. [laughs]

- Isn't that funny? - That's wild.

- Oh! - So cute!

Oh, it's lovely.

- I love the fabric. - I love it.

I love how it flows.

Oh, Mary, I wanna commend you for being so brave,

and showing your arms like that.

That's something I always wished I could when I was your age,

just not care about these unrealistic beauty standards.

You're different than me. You're a modern woman.

I'm gonna go try on some of the other dresses.

I-- I really like this one.

Um, I just think it's too similar

to the one Molly has.

Okay, whatever you want.

[whispers] Okay.

[announcement over TV continues]

So, it's not my business who you talk to.

I mean, you can go through the phonebook for all I care.

But I just, um...

Just let me know ahead of time,

so I don't have to lie to my neighbors.

Understood.

I, um... [clears throat]

...brought you something, um...

it's-- if it's helpful.

It's just a loan.

[Elizabeth] Oh! Wow, these are great.

- Thank you. - [Gracie] A wedding picture.

- That's Honor when she was born. - [Elizabeth] Oh, so little.

- [Gracie] How sweet is that? - Really sweet.

- You like it? - Oh, I love it.

[Elizabeth] It's very in.

[camera shutter clicks]

How long have you owned this place?

[Mr. Henderson] Oh, it-- it-- it was my mother's.

- She opened it in 1972. - [parrots chirping]

[Mr. Henderson] We had a good run.

[Elizabeth] You have beautiful store.

So, was she the one that hired Gracie?

Oh, well, my mother's health was in decline.

And, well, Gracie had been a really loyal customer

after they opened that K-Mart around the corner.

This was what year?

Uh, it was after my mother's fall.

Mm, 1990. October.

At first, she was just, you know, watching the store,

and then, she took on more and more responsibilities.

Balancing the books, orders.

Was very organized. I'll give her that much.

Were you the one who hired Joe?

Oh, no. No, no, no.

Gracie asked if she could hire a part-time helper

at minimum wage.

That was summer, '92,

and Mother said yes.

We were really surprised, to say the least,

to be a part of w-- what all happened.

This pretty much sums it up.

[Elizabeth] Oh, wow.

Anyway, um, I-- I should probably get back to work.

One more thing.

I'd love to see the stockroom.

[Mr. Henderson] Uh, just don't touch any of the bait.

Will do.

[ominous instrumental building]

[dramatic piano instrumental playing]

[heavy breathing]

[laughs]

[on TV] Hi. I'm Bob Vila. Welcome to This Old House.

As you can see, work is underway.

In this program, we're gonna be looking at some

of the exterior repairs that have to be made,

as well as listening to an energy audit,

looking at some interior demolition,

and discussing our kitchen plans,

which we haven't really made yet.

First, let's go up and talk with Norm Abram,

our head carpenter up here, who's already tackling

some of the problems we, uh, looked at earlier, rot.

- Hi, Norm. - Hi, Bob.

[Bob] Wonder if you can talk with us for just a minute?

Wanna get a closer look at the eaves up here.

[Norm] Sure.

[Bob] And see how bad things really are.

What have you found so far?

[Norm] Well, basically, we found a lot of rot.

[Norm] And that's caused the majority of the problems.

[Bob] You've taken the gutter off,

and you've taken the fascia board off.

[Norm] Right, and the fascia board and all these blocks,

and, uh, we found that the way the gutter was installed,

- that it's, uh... - [Gracie] Joe?

-...caused a lot of problems... - [Gracie] Where's the stepstool?

One sec.

Thank you.

Did you ask your father how he's getting to graduation?

[Joe] I was gonna drop some groceries off this week.

I'll ask.

What are you gonna do with your bugs?

Oh, I'll figure it out.

Okay, just not in the bedroom again, okay?

[dramatic piano instrumental playing]

[coughing]

[breathing machine whirring]

Hi, everyone. I'm Tyler KO.

I'm five foot, six. I'm 13 years old.

I was born on April 20, 2002.

- And I'm with Coast to Coast. - [Elizabeth] 2002? Jesus Christ.

Do you need any help?

[woman] That'd be great, Joe, thank you.

What should I do?

[woman] if you wanna get the box of pinkies in the back.

- And feed 'em to the snakes. - Live mice?

[woman] They've been in the freezer,

so I don't think they'll feel anything.

Benny Kim, five foot, 13 years old.

And I'm with Coast to Coast.

[Elizabeth] How'd he do it?

[Joe] Skateboarding off the roof.

- [Elizabeth scoffs] - Birthday party.

[Elizabeth] Do you have any pictures?

[Joe] Mm-hmm.

[Elizabeth] Oh.

Only 13.

So small.

- Yeah. - Hmm.

Ah, it's peaceful in here.

Hmm, a lot different than a movie set, I would think.

[Elizabeth] True.

Backstage during a play, it's kind of like this.

- [Joe] You act in plays? - [Elizabeth] Sometimes.

I should do it more often. I got my start in the theater.

[Joe] I've seen your TV show.

- Oh, God. - [Joe] It's very intense.

I've been very lucky to have it,

but I kind of wish no one ever watched it. [laughs]

[Joe] Yeah, I, um, saw one

where you had to operate on an elephant.

[Elizabeth] Oh, God. Now I'm really embarrassed.

Now I'm going to have to jump off the roof with those boys.

[laughs]

Thank you for having me.

[Joe] Yeah, you think it'll help?

Yeah, I-- I already

have an idea of what it must've felt like.

- [Joe] What? What felt like? - Uh, sneaking around with you.

I probably shouldn't have said that.

You won't tell anyone, will you?

No worries.

Well, it's, um, kind of lunchtime now,

so... yeah.

[nurse over PA] Dr. Guerrero, Dr. Guerrero, please.

[♪]

♪ Shadows grow so long Before my eyes ♪

♪ And they're moving ♪

Oh, my God.

♪ Across the page ♪

♪ Suddenly the day Turns into night ♪

I must say, you, uh, evoke her.

- You really do. - Oh, thanks.

What, specifically?

Uh, you-- you just have a-- a loveliness, uh, a brightness.

Like there isn't an angry bone in your body.

[both chuckling]

That's very sweet.

All right, so...

when did you meet Gracie?

Well, uh, my wife and kids and I

had just moved down from New York.

I'd been doing a lot of, uh, very high-profile cases,

defending some pretty despicable men, as it were.

And, um, Sharon finally had had it.

She said, "I'm moving down to Savannah.

Feel free to come with." [laughs]

So, uh-- and, uh, it's funny really,

because, uh, for all the rapists, murderers,

frauds, hitmen, never did I end up

on the front page of the New York Times.

But for Gracie, I ended up

on the front page of the New York Times,

down in Slow-vannah.

Anyway, I get a call one night after dinner

to go down to the station.

And, uh, sitting there in her floral blouse is Gracie.

And, uh, what I said was, "I think I know you."

And she said, "I'm Gracie Atherton.

I'm your neighbor, I brought you a blueberry poundcake."

And, of course, it was.

So, I said, uh, "What can I help you with?"

And that's when she told me.

What did she say exactly?

[Morris laughs] She said,

"I got caught having an affair."

And I said, "Gracie, forgive me,

but, uh, that's not illegal in this country,

and if it were, there'd be a lot of people in serious trouble."

And, um...

then she started to cry.

She said, uh, "We're in love.

I didn't mean for it to happen, but we fell in love."

So, she was in denial, you would say?

[Morris] Oh, absolutely.

She-- uh,

I mean, she didn't think she did anything wrong.

She was, uh, head over heels. He was a good-looking kid.

But, uh, she had no conception.

I mean, prison? [laughs]

She thought she could just, uh, explain it all

to the judge and that'll be that.

It was a little-- uh, a little Romeo and Juliet.

A little bit starry eyed.

And when did it sink in?

Has it sunk in yet?

[Georgie] Can we play this any slower? I mean, honestly, guys.

I just wanna apologize for this being the slowest version

of this song you ever heard. It's the drummer's fault.

- [drummer] Fuck you, Georgie. - [Georgie] Yeah? Fuck you, bro.

Have you met Georgie yet?

- That's-- that's Georgie? - Yeah.

Yeah, I'd hoped things would work out better for him.

Holy shit.

[Morris] He was a very sweet boy.

Very sensitive.

Well! Hey! Look what the cat dragged in.

- How you doing, Georgie? - [Georgie] Hey.

This is, uh, Elizabeth Berry.

Oh, hell, I know who this is.

I know perfectly well.

- Um, the actress. - The son.

How much are they paying you for this? Is it a lot?

Are they paying her? You know?

[Elizabeth] It's an independent movie.

We don't mean to interrupt your show.

Georgie, you, uh--

Why don't you, um...

look me in the eye

and tell me how selfish I am.

And I'll tell you if it's a match.

All right, let's get the check.

You know, I'm glad this happened.

I really wanted to meet you.

- [Georgie] Oh, really? - Yeah.

[Georgie] What have you heard?

I've heard you're really creative

and sensitive and sweet.

Well, they would say that. [chuckles]

[Elizabeth] Well, what are you, then?

I'm a phoenix, rising from the ashes.

- I'm just a ghost. - Because of what happened?

Well, uh, it ruined my life, of course.

[Elizabeth] And, um,

do you remember the first time you found out?

Yes. Yeah.

Billy sat me down in my room and told me.

And, um, well, I just thought he was trying to make me upset,

so I went and found my dad and he said it was true.

And he had slammed his fist down so hard on his desk

that he had split his hand open, was bleeding everywhere.

And all this happened like, right before my birthday.

So, everyone forgot to cancel my party.

But only one guy showed up anyway.

And we just, um, hung out in my room

and I ate so many Warheads that I threw up.

And, um, we just watched TV until the sun was almost up

and I gave him a hand job

and then he never spoke to me again. [laughs]

[band starts playing]

Joanie, you can't fuckin' sing this!

Oh, my God. I gotta go.

All right. Really nice to meet you.

- Yeah, you-- you, too. - [Georgie] See ya later.

[Elizabeth exhales]

[laughs] As you can see,

the situation is not without its casualties.

From what I've seen, she seems to be

pretty well-liked in the neighborhood

and she's busy with her baking and--

You might want to check the names on those orders.

It's a handful that keep repeating over and over.

My wife's one of them.

So, people are just ordering things to keep her busy?

It's a kindness, you know.

But, uh, how many pineapple upside-down cakes

can a family eat?

♪ Well maybe you're just Too blind to see ♪

♪ I'm up on the tight... ♪

[classical music playing]

[Joe] Hello?

[Joe Senior coughing]

Hey, Dad.

[Joe Senior] Hi.

[Joe] Gracie wanted to know

how you plan on getting to the graduation.

I'll drive myself. It's close.

I can't believe the kids are gonna

be at college in the fall.

An empty nest.

You will have more time to focus on other things.

[Joe] Yeah.

[clears throat]

[pensive instrumental plays]

[student chatter]

[Ms. Labriola] We're glad you're here.

Okay, settle.

Cameron?

This is the first time in my experience,

I've worked here 20 years,

that a Juilliard educated actor has sat in this theater.

- [Cameron gasps] Oh, my God. - Cameron, quit it.

It's an incredible opportunity,

so let's ask some great questions, shall we?

Yes.

- Have you acted in sex scenes? - [all laughing]

- You are staying late. - Yes, I have.

- You don't have to answer that. - No, it's fine. I have.

And it's a strange part of acting.

Like what?

[Elizabeth] Hmm, well,

sometimes it's really mechanical,

like a choreographed dance.

You know, where the only thing you can focus on

is where you're supposed to be and when.

And then...

sometimes, there's this real chemistry between two people.

And-- and you start...

feeling like it's real.

In this strange way.

You-- you never admit it to one another. But...

you-- you're wearing practically nothing

and you're rubbing up against each other and sweating.

And it's for hours.

And you start losing the line of-- of, like,

"Am I pretending that I'm experiencing pleasure,

or am I--

Am I pretending that I'm not experiencing pleasure?"

And the whole crew, they're almost always all men.

They're-- You feel them watching.

And you feel them, like, holding their breath.

And they try and hide it when they swallow.

You give into the rhythm, you know, every time.

Tension never breaks.

Kimmie, yeah.

Um... [clears throat]

Uh, how-- how do you choose your roles?

[Elizabeth] Hmm.

Well, when I'm lucky enough to choose my roles, I...

I wanna find...

a character that's--

That's difficult to-- to,

on the surface, understand.

I w-- I want-- um, I wanna take the person.

I wanna figure out, why are they like this?

Were they born or were they made?

And, um, that can run the gamut, from-- from the more notorious

to the-- just anyone.

Why would you want to play someone

who you think is a bad person?

Are you kidding? I mean, pick any great role.

Medea, or Hedda Gabler, or, uh--

Tony Soprano?

Precisely, Cameron.

It's-- it's the complexity.

It's the-- it's the moral gray areas

that are interesting, right?

Hmm.

[♪]

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well.

Now, this is silly.

This is actually very serious business.

[scoffs] if you say so.

Um, okay.

Um, so this is-- um,

this is the foundation that I use.

Um, I have-- I have some on now,

so I'm not gonna-- I'm not gonna put on any more, but--

Can I, uh-- thank you.

Um, and...

this is the blush that I like.

And I use a, um-- I use this sponge to put it on.

And here's my favorite lip color.

It looks like that.

Um, and I'll just...

put a little of this on.

You know, I think

that it would be better if I just did this to you.

All right. [laughs]

I bet you're used to this.

So, did you always wanna be an actress?

[chuckles] Always.

I wanted to be on Broadway.

And when I told my parents, I was nine or ten...

they were so disappointed.

They said, "Honey, you're so much smarter than that."

[laughs]

What did you say?

Are you smarter than that?

[Elizabeth laughs]

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

What do your parents do?

They're academics.

My mother wrote a pretty respected book on, uh...

epistemic relativism.

My mother...

wrote a great recipe for blueberry cobbler.

What was your mother like?

She was beautiful.

[♪]

[Tommy Silva] It's this way, and that way.

And I want you to move,

all the time you're squeezing that trigger,

I want you to move.

-[Tommy Silva] So, don't squeeze it too hard,

- don't move it too slow. - [woman] Okay.

[Tommy Silva] Don't move it too fast.

[woman] How's that look?

[Tommy Silva] Looks pretty good.

[Gracie] Knock, knock.

Sweetie, I was hoping you could clear your bugs

out of the living room, I wanna get the house ready

before Honor gets home.

And, um, could you pick up some takeout

for dinner tonight? I'm swamped.

[Joe] Sure.

I can help.

- Okay. - [Elizabeth] Okay.

[Elizabeth] Ooh, I love them.

[Joe] Mm. They're hungry this year.

How long have you been doing this?

A few years.

I read this article

about how the monarch population is dwindling

and they mentioned that people help raise them.

I'm not the only one who does this.

Gracie makes it seem that way, but...

[Elizabeth] How do you do it?

You just keep your eyes open

and look for the eggs, take them inside,

protect them, so they have a chance to grow.

We've had a-- an actual impact.

Uh, the numbers are way up

and I'm-- I'm part of this,

uh, Facebook group.

Anyway, I know it sounds really dorky.

Not at all.

M-- my friend, Michaela,

who's in the group, she lives in Durham.

People put milkweed in the cages for them to attach to,

but she also puts these sticks in for them to climb,

'cause some of them attach to the top part of the mesh

when they form the chrysalis and hang upside down.

That's fascinating.

So, um...

we have to grab these from the bottom.

Mm-hmm.

And be very careful because of the chrysalises.

- All right. - Yeah.

There you go.

[groans]

[Elizabeth] This is a beautiful place to live.

[Joe] Yeah, it's been really nice.

- You okay? - [Elizabeth grunts]

[Elizabeth] Yes, thank you.

[Elizabeth breathing heavily]

So, it's hard to tell what you actually think

about all this.

Well...

I think you have a very nice family.

And you're both interesting people.

Okay.

I don't know, what do you think?

I think it's hard to trust that, you know?

That you're gonna represent things as they were, or--

[Elizabeth] I'm gonna try.

I don't know, it's hard to feel.

People, they, like, see me

as, like, a victim or something.

I mean, we've been married for almost 24 years now.

Like, why would we do that if we weren't happy?

Right.

I was different than the other kids,

the people around me.

And girls were never...

But she was so...

She saw me.

Yeah.

I wanted it.

I don't know.

What did you parents say?

We never really talked about it.

My dad was always so focused on his work

and m-- my mom passed away when I was 20.

So, we never got to really, look back on it.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - No, it's...

it's hard to imagine what that conversation

would've been, honestly.

Well, you were so young.

There were so many eyes on you.

[under his breath] Fuck.

[Gracie sobbing]

[Joe] Gracie?

What happened?

[Gracie sniffles]

Joyce Mercer called and cancelled her order

and all future orders.

[sighs] I'm sorry.

[Gracie] And I told her that I'd already made it,

and she said that she would pay for it,

but that she didn't need it.

- They were leaving town. - [Joe] Where are they going?

Her sister is sick or something, it doesn't matter.

I wasted hours that I could've used!

[Joe] You couldn't have known, Gracie.

[crying] I just-- I hate things like that.

And now, I have this cake that's gonna go

right in the garbage.

You won't have to throw it in the garbage.

[sobbing intensely]

Where were you?

I took a walk,

showing Elizabeth the neighborhood.

Oh, Elizabeth.

[sniffling]

She's getting on my last nerve.

[Joe] Why?

[sniffs] She's just everywhere I look.

- For what? - For the movie.

So people can see it, and understand more.

And maybe, it's more easier for you.

For me?

For us.

The both of us.

Hmm? Okay?

[Gracie sobbing]

I don't know.

She'll be gone soon.

[Joe moans]

So good.

[laughs]

[Elizabeth] I'm telling you,

it's going great, it's really, really helpful.

[Roberto on phone] I'm very happy to hear this.

I think it's very good.

But I have Carla on my ass, because you're over

the number of days that we budgeted for.

Well, I guess, that means that the crew wrap sweatshirts

have just become crew wrap mugs.

[Roberto laughs]

- Look, I know you trust me. - Of course, I do.

And I feel like I'm getting really close

to something true.

Something honest.

Okay, okay. So, Friday?

Thank you.

But that's it, I'm serious.

- Uh-oh. He's serious. - I am.

How's your wife?

- [sighs] Elizabeth. - What?

You're reckless.

- Is she home? - No, 'cause she had no idea.

She got hired on a television series back in Rome,

so, she won't be on set.

- Good. - [Roberto laughs]

[Roberto speaking Italian]

- Did you watch the tape? - I did.

Look, I know, I'm sure they've seen lots of people,

but... [sighs]

...has it just been LA?

Because the kids, they're cute, but not, like, sexy enough.

You've seen him.

I mean, he's got this, like, quiet confidence.

Even as a kid, I'm sure.

I think...

you need to come home.

Oh, my God! It's so good to see you!

[both] Oh, my God.

You're, like, as tall as me now!

- What the heck? - [Mary] You look great!

Let me grab-- Let me grab [indistinct].

[overlapping chatter]

- [Honor] Aw. - [Joe] I missed you.

How's the roommate?

[Honor] Uh, it's all good. We got over it.

- [Mary] Good. - [Joe] I knew you would.

- How's Mom? - Great. Busy.

How's the actress?

[both laugh]

What's so funny?

[dramatic orchestral music playing]

[actress playing Gracie on TV] Joey?

[notification chimes]

[notification chimes]

Are you in there?

Who's here?

[notification chimes]

[music continues]

[notification chimes]

[actress] Joe.

You know what scares me?

[music fades]

[clattering]

- Hi. - [Joe] Hey.

It's okay. You can come out.

- How's it going? - Fine.

Are you excited about tomorrow?

- Sure. - Yeah.

Yeah, I can't believe you and your sister are leaving.

You try to picture what it will be like, but you can't.

Yeah.

Are you nervous?

- About what? - College.

Leaving home.

I can't wait to leave home.

- That's good. - Yeah, I think.

I think that's good.

Hey, so, uh, you gonna be out here a while, or...

Should I not be?

Uh...

I was just gonna--

Oh, you-- you should--

Yeah, you should go ahead.

- Mm-hmm. - You sure?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

[under his breath] Okay.

[lighter clicking]

- You want? - No. Thanks.

I've never-- I've never done that.

What?

No? Dad-- Dad, that's crazy.

[both laughing]

[Joe] Um...

- You definitely don't have to. - Yeah.

All right.

[lighter clicking]

You don't, uh--

[Joe inhales]

[coughing heavily]

- [Charlie laughs] - I'm fine.

[both laughing]

I'm fine. It's all good. [laughing]

[Joe grunts]

- This is nice. - Yeah.

[footsteps approaching]

- Well, don't you look nice. - [Elizabeth] Thank you.

Hey.

- You're early. - Am I?

You ready to bake?

This is my brother, Bill's favorite cake.

- Oh, is this for him? - No, he's in Minneapolis.

- He works for the Twins. - Which twins?

It's a professional baseball team.

- Oh. Of course. Of course. - Um-hum.

And he was captain of baseball team in high school.

And then he played college ball.

And now he's a professional pitching coach.

You just wanna spread it around the bottom like this.

He was always so protective of me growing up,

even though he was younger.

Whenever boys would get near me,

he'd throw them up against the locker, and say,

"What are your intentions?"

What were their intentions? [laughs]

Okay, now, you are going to put the cherries

at the bottom of the pan...

like this.

And do it nicely,

'cause it really does matter how it looks.

[woman talking indistinctly on TV]

- That's very nice. - Thank you.

[Gracie] You know, Joe's been with more women than I have men.

- Is that right? - Nobody seems to remember that.

I'd only been with Tom,

but Joe had been with two girls before me.

When he was in the seventh grade?

He led a very different life than me.

His father was always working, so, he was the man of the house,

and he took care of his little sisters

pretty much on his own.

One of them had terrible asthma.

He grew up very quickly.

I was very sheltered.

[water splashing]

I want to show you something.

Um, Joe gave this to me back then.

I think it's lovely.

[Elizabeth] "Peace is sitting on a lake in the summertime.

Peace is a Coca Cola on a hot summer day.

Peace is being with you."

The assignment was, "What is peace?"

You're such a special person.

Dad, please, just stop. This is so weird.

No, I really mean it.

- [Gracie] Are you boys up there? - Yeah!

Garibaldi's said they could take us at seven.

- How does that sound? - That sounds great.

Thanks, Mom.

- [Gracie] Joe! - [Elizabeth] Joe!

[Joe chuckling]

- [Gracie] Are you all right? - [Joe chuckles] I'm okay.

[laughs] I was just thinking what if I had...

[Gracie] Honey, I can't hear you.

I can't hear what you're saying.

[Joe]...taken my old x-rays-- [laughs]

Yeah, everything's-- everything's fine.

We'll meet you down there in a second.

[coughs] I feel like everything's so fucked up.

[Charlie] It's not, Dad. It's all right.

[cries] I just want you to have a good life.

- [Charlie] I will. - [Joe] Okay.

[sobbing] Because ba-- bad things, they happen.

And-- and-- and we do bad things also.

But we have to think about those things.

If you try not to think about it,

there's this...

- Do you know what I mean? - Yeah, I know, Dad.

God, I can't tell if we're connecting

or if I'm creating a bad memory for you

in real time, but I can't help it.

No, no, we're connecting, Dad.

It's okay. Everything's okay.

[Joe sobbing]

Don't worry about me.

[Joe] It's all I do.

[dramatic piano tune playing]

[Gracie] I'm so glad that Honor was able to finish

her finals in time to come home to watch our beautiful Mary

and our gentle Charlie walk across that stage tomorrow.

I couldn't be prouder of both of you.

And to Joe, the man of my life,

here's to entering this next phase together.

And as our little ones fly away from the nest,

they know they can always come home.

- [glasses clinking] - [Mary] Cheers.

[Gracie] Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

[Honor] You forgot someone.

[laughs] Elizabeth,

we are so happy that you could be with us

at this very special time.

- Thank you. - [Gracie] Cheers.

Cheers.

Mm, this is delicious.

Honor, when we get home, I'll show you what your dad and I

got your sister for graduation.

- Is it a scale? - [Gracie] Excuse me?

Uh, when I graduated, you got me a scale.

That was just part of setting you up

at your new place, you know perfectly well,

that wasn't your graduation present.

It came wrapped in a bow.

We got her a necklace with her birthstone in it.

Just like we got your sister.

And I see you're not wearing yours.

So, when do you start shooting this movie?

In about three weeks.

Soon.

- Wish you weren't doing that. - Honor.

I can understand that. Of course.

I hope in the end, that you'll feel it had something to say,

and that we captured something true.

True, like how it isn't awkward at all

that you're at this graduation dinner right now?

Joe, you-- Will you do something?

- [Joe] What? Like what? - Thanks for your help.

Um, Honor, I got you that scale,

as I told you at the time, as a tradition,

because that's what my mother got me

when I graduated from high school.

You try going through life without a scale

and see how that goes.

Mom. Hi. Hi.

Cassidy, hi! [laughs]

- Hi! Oh, hello! - [Cassidy] Hey.

[Gracie] Oh, hi, sweetheart. Oh, you look so pretty.

Goodness, Peter, congratulations.

Billy, Tyler, Georgie, hi.

Everyone's celebrating, of course.

[Tom] Yeah, it's just the best. Very nice to see you again.

Yes, you, as well.

Tom.

Okay, I think we'll, uh, head over to our table.

Yeah, we're in the back with the old families.

- [Billy laughs] - Georgie.

[Gracie] See you at graduation.

Uh, I'm a really big fan of Nor-- Norah's Ark.

[Honor sputters]

Oh, thank you. That means the world.

[Honor sighs] Probably frozen by now.

My brother, Mark, he still lives in Richmond.

He always says, "Keep your expectations low

and you'll never be disappointed."

And I always forget that.

How many brothers do you have? [chuckles]

Four.

Two older, two younger.

But I think you know that.

So, what were your expectations?

Uh, that tonight would go well,

that my children would love me,

and my life would be perfect.

That was a little naive.

I am naive.

I always have been.

In a way, it's been a gift.

Is it all right if Joe drops us off first?

I think the girls need a minute.

[Elizabeth] I can just walk from here.

Mm-mm, he'll drive you.

Hey, can I bum another cigarette?

Oh, yeah, sure. All right.

- [traffic din] - [indistinct chattering]

Good evening.

[laughs] Has she broken your spirit yet?

[sighs] No, just tired.

[Elizabeth coughs]

So, did you crack the case?

Do you mind blowing your smoke in the other direction, please?

Thank you.

Do you wanna know my theory?

Sure.

Childhood trauma.

Which one?

The big one.

What do you mean?

Her older brothers...

- [Elizabeth] What? - Oh, yeah.

Started when she was 12.

On and off.

What if I just... [laughs]

What if-- what if I just--

Oh, was that--

Just don't mention it to her, obviously.

She doesn't talk about it.

I read it in her diary, but this was, like, way before.

That's...

explains a lot.

Why does she still talk to them?

Lady, she's messed up in the head.

That's what I'm trying to tell ya.

[sighs] Oh, God.

Listen, I actually-- I had an idea.

I was looking up how y'all make movies.

[Elizabeth] Mm-hmm.

And I read about this job

of, um, music supervisor.

- Yeah. - I could do this job.

Pick out songs for movies? I'd pick great songs. [chuckles]

What are you asking?

So, what if,

in exchange for my memories, my consultation,

my willingness not to go to the press when the movie comes out

and talk disparagingly about it, and you, and her,

you give me this position of music supervisor

on this movie?

Um...

I'll, uh, look into that for you.

[indistinct chatter in distance]

[♪]

I think I've outstayed my welcome here.

[Elizabeth clears throat]

[Elizabeth coughs]

My sister had really bad asthma.

- Did she? - Yeah.

She was always having to do that breathing machine thing.

- Yeah. Nebulizer. - Right.

I actually have one with me here. It was a new one.

And I can't figure out how to get the, um, you know,

the mouthpiece thing to snap on.

It's so stupid. I'd really like to use it.

That's irritating.

You just sort of have to get the top and--

Could you? Do-- do you have a second?

They haven't changed this machine since the '80s.

[both chuckling]

Thank you.

You saved my life. [chuckles]

Sure.

Um, I wanted to give you something.

It's-- it's the only one I could save.

Oh, my God.

Don't read it now.

Thank you. [chuckles]

[whispering] Oh, you were so young.

Believe me,

you could start over.

And do what?

[Elizabeth] Anything.

[both breathing heavily]

[both moaning]

[Joe groans]

[both grunting]

[Joe panting]

I'll get us a towel.

[Elizabeth] Thanks.

[Joe] Let's get in bed.

Wow. [laughs] That was crazy.

Yeah.

Have you ever done that before?

Right. Of course.

[laughs] What about you?

No, I mean, I've had crushes on people.

I think that's allowed.

I don't know.

Um, any of it...

it would, uh, kill her.

You know, she's very loyal with me.

[scoffs]

[Elizabeth] Listen.

Whatever happens, she's gonna be okay.

- People like Gracie-- - No, she won't.

No.

You really don't know her.

Okay.

Let me tell you something.

Your responsibility, ultimately, is to yourself.

Grace-- Elizabeth,

I think it's a little more complicated than that.

You're gonna do what you're gonna do,

but stories like these don't end--

Stories?

Stories?

[Elizabeth] Oh, you know what I mean.

Instances of severely traumatic beginnings don't--

[Joe] This isn't a story, this is my fucking life!

Jesus.

You don't need to get so worked up about it.

[Joe] Yeah, I--

I thought you actually liked me

and that we had a connection.

I like you.

[Joe] Then what was this about?

This is just what grownups do.

[Joe scoffs]

[Joe stutters]

[door closes]

[♪]

[Gracie breathing heavily]

- You're lucky I'm not jumpy. - [Joe] I'm sorry.

[Gracie] Why are you sitting there?

[Joe] I've just been thinking.

Okay.

[Joe] I think there are a lot of things

that we haven't talked about in a long time.

Maybe ever.

What kind of things?

[gulping]

Things about our relationship.

Well, I'm not gonna cross-examine you.

Say what you wanna say.

[Joe] I've just been remembering things.

What brought this on?

What does it matter?

[Gracie] Is it the actress?

[breathless] M-- maybe. I don't know.

I don't see what difference it makes.

It's how I'm feeling.

[Gracie] Come and sit by me.

Okay?

Oh, baby,

what's making you feel bad?

It's not-- I-- I don't feel bad.

Like, I'm just trying to say, I'm...

What if I wasn't ready

to be making those kinds of decisions?

Then-- then what?

'Cause the kids...

what-- what would that mean?

I don't understand what you're saying.

I'm saying, what if I was too young?

Whoa.

What--

You seduced me.

- But I was 13 years old. - [Gracie] Don't give me that.

N-- but I was.

I don't care how old you were.

Who was in charge?

- W-- what? - [Gracie] Who was the boss?

Who was in charge?

Who was in charge?

I'm just trying to talk about something.

- And you're not even listening. - No, I think this movie

is dredging up all this stuff.

Driving Elizabeth around.

It's not about the fucking movie!

- No. - I-- I'm very sympathetic,

but you're starting to upset me!

No, you have not been sympathetic.

Why can't we talk about it?

If we're really as in love as we say we are,

if we have that rare--

Sh-- shouldn't I be able to talk about this with you?

"If we're really as in love as we say we are?"

- Gracie, you know what I mean. - We-- no, no.

- I'm begging you, please. - If we're really--

If we're really as in love as we say we are?

I-- I-- I need you to help me. Please. Please.

If we're really as in love as we say?

I-- It's graduation.

[♪]

My love.

After you left tonight, I thought about the kind of life

that we could have if things were different.

If I'd been born later, you, long ago.

But who knows what we would've been like then,

or where,

what tragedies we'd have to face along the way,

what bad luck.

This is not what I ever would've wanted,

but I'm so grateful

that our paths led us to this road...

no matter what the cost.

I think about you all the time...

the feeling I get

when we look each other in the eyes.

Do you feel that, too?

I know you don't have much to compare it to,

but let me assure you...

it is rare.

I've gone my whole life without it.

And now that I've found it,

I can't imagine going back and pretending.

Sometimes I wish we'd never met,

or that you didn't get the job in the pet shop, at least,

because I know that our lives

will be forever changed because of this,

no matter how it all turns out.

I know that my husband and my children...

[cries] I...

I know that...

this will affect them too.

[sniffs]

My hope is that we can...

keep our secrets long enough

until at least we're in no danger from the law.

Maybe by then, I'll have enough time

to end things cleanly

and to make sure that my children

know that I love them.

And maybe by then,

we'll have figured out what to say.

When this first started...

I didn't know what to think.

I knew that we had crossed a-- a line

and I felt in my heart that we would cross it again.

But now, I think...

I've lost track of where the line is.

Who even draws these lines?

All I know...

is that I love you, and you love me.

And you gave me so much pleasure tonight.

I hope I did the same for you.

I'll see you Saturday.

And please burn this,

you know what could happen to me if anyone ever found it.

Your Gracie.

[breathes heavily]

[news reporter] This is River Street,

downtown, Savannah.

The rain is moving in from the west and states over.

And as Lee was talking about it, you know,

we want the rain to come down.

It cools off the environment, and cools off the atmosphere,

and that helps to bring in more stability.

So that these thunderstorms that have been so nasty

and so strong will actually start to get weaker.

So, let's go right to our Fast it timing radar,

because this is a huge storm system.

But the strongest part of the storm that we are tracking

this weekend happens to be right here already.

So, when I'm looking at the radar,

so right in the middle of the storm system,

right there, there is lightning, right?

Because all of that lightning--

I'll go up and get changed.

Maybe, she has a, uh, beauty parlor appointment.
