- hey, um, don't be a stranger. - don't be a douche bag.

Sweet talker.

- one of the saddest things I ever saw

Was a shoebox of photos At a swap meet,

50 cents for the box.

Someone's entire life In tattered yellow pictures

That you just know were moved From attic to basement

To attic again, Only to wind up

On a crappy card table In gallup.

I don't get it.

This compulsion we have To hold on to things.

Ticket stubs, Betting slips.

Going through his stuff? It's like a...

Sad little treasure hunt.

You're keeping His racing form?

- yeah, being at The track with him,

That's my earliest memory.

Picking busted tickets Off the floor at monmouth park.

- your father Lived for the track.

He lived at the track.

Might as well Have been his home.

- hey.

Hi.

- mom, why are you Not surprised?

Really?

Unbelievable. Two knocked-up unwed mothers,

Multiple rehabs, Daddy issues all the over place.

This family Is so jerry springer.

Please, at least tell me You know who the father is.

- I cannot tell you that.

- and you went awol From rehab.

- I didn't go awol. - she did not go awol.

- I did my days, And jill said that

She thought It was okay for me to go.

- oh, jill did. - she's my sponsor, mary.

And also mom needs my help With the party--

- brandi!

What party?

- it's just A small gathering--tiny.

Why do we have to gather?

- for perspective, mary. For closure.

For your father And scott, yes.

We'll just invite A few friends.

- dad didn't have Friends here!

Dad didn't have friends! - well, I do!

Since I got sober, I've made a lot of 'em.

- mom-- - come on, mary, come on!

It's half-soiree, Half-wake.

- we're not having a wake, That's ridiculous,

And we're not having it here. That's a promise.

Come here, buddy. Come on. I know, but it's time.

We're going to bed. - mary, listen.

We're all going to Deal with this in our own way.

Instead of diving Into a bottle,

I'm going to surround myself With friends.

But don't Kid yourself, kiddo.

We're all addicted to something, Including you.

You are addicted To this identity,

This little girl Abandoned by her father.

But until you let that go, You will never let anyone in,

Not really.

- since 1970, the federal Witness protection program

Has relocated Thousands of witnesses--

Some criminal, some not--

To neighborhoods All across the country.

Every one of those individuals Shares a unique attribute,

Distinguishing them From the rest

Of the general population.

And that is... Somebody wants them dead.

- so it was just the two of you At the funeral home?

Wow, intimate.

- it's her father, ab. She's my partner--

- marshall, I need you to remove the phrase

"She's my partner" From your arsenal.

I know she's your partner.

- I don't want to be That girl, okay?

Don't make me that girl, That insecure--

Yes, she's your partner, And she is your friend,

Your best friend, but-- - ab, you've gotta understand--

I mean, marshall, Skipping an appointment

To meet with our minister? - I wasn't skipping.

- cancelling, last-minute, Because mary needs you again.

- look, mary and I--

- I get it.

You know what? I don't get it.

I don't. I don't even think you do,

Not really.

And until you do, until--

Until you figure this out,

I think we need to put any Appointments with ministers--

Any anything With ministers--on hold.

- abigail--

- marshall, I love you. This isn't jealousy.

This is important to me. It's important for you.

Just talk to her.

I have to go to work, So do you.

Don't forget To fill his water bowl.

- mary! What are you--

Your father died. You don't have to be here.

Yeah, know me less.

So as if my life's not enough Of a walking pain in the ass,

I've been chasing my father up, Down, and into the ground--

- not literally. - not literally, no, not yet,

'cause apparently When someone's life ends,

The list of crap you have to Deal with has only just begun.

I've got three days to decide What to do with him.

I mean, do I bury him Here or new jersey?

Do I get him One of those...

You know, And what do I write on it?

Oh, and guess who's back And guess who's knocked up,

And if you guessed brandi, You'd be right--both times.

- yeah, seriously.

And as if all that's not, Like I said...

- as if all that's not enough,

I am saddled with The worst witness imaginable.

- the model. Why no story thingies?

Models are vapid and entitled And always forgiven

For being two hours late.

- so look, you and I, We need to have a little talk.

- "Ooh, look at me, I'm a model.

"I'm so skinny, I can barely stand.

Look, I wear my ribs On the outside!"

Honestly, the only sliver Of silver lining I can see

Between the dopey little Doe eyes and the anorexic limbs

Is that I'm pretty sure On most days,

I get to eat her lunch.

- mary, we really Need to have a talk.

- right, we better get in there. Help her sign her m.O.U.

In crayon, I assume.

Marshall, let's go. Chop-chop.

- I'm not gonna Lie to you, casey,

The first few weeks Can be tough and lonely,

But just keep bearing in mind The good you're doing.

That could really help.

- I don't know How much good I did.

- we're talking about identity Theft on a global scale.

That drive You recovered contains

The personal information For over 500,000 people.

Pensions, savings accounts.

Petrov wasn't about to donate That money to unicef.

- what ausa perillo Is trying to say, casey,

Is you saved lives.

The russian mafia Is as brutal as they come,

But you're safe now.

- I'm not worried About my safety.

If it were up to me, They'd hang petrov

And every last one of them In front of the hague.

Yes, she's heard of the hague. We're not all vacuous bimbos.

- so what Are you worried about?

- I was discovered at 14

In front of a dairy queen In dubuque.

A year later, I was paying off the mortgage,

Funding my mom's Futile chemo treatments,

And fending off my stepdad With a whip and a chair.

- wow.

That's a lot for anyone, Never mind a 14-year-old.

- all I've done since Is whatever people tell me to.

"Stand here, Wear that, pout now."

This new identity? I never even had an old one.

Outside of looking pretty And doing what I'm told,

I'm totally untrained. I'm useless!

- you're not useless,

And we're not Just about keeping you safe.

We're gonna help you, okay?

Get you set up.

- we'll find you a job, An apartment,

You could maybe enroll In college.

- yeah, change your major Five times like the rest of us,

Figure out what you want to be When you grow up.

- I have no idea. - she has no idea.

- welcome to witsec.

- no, I totally understand.

Yeah, thanks, lauren. You too, bye.

Unreal. Guy's got two families--

Two that we know of-- And who draws the short straw

On putting him In the ground?

- yeah, listen,

We need to schedule A time to talk.

- yeah, all right, look.

Last time you scheduled A time with me is 'cause

You got secretly engaged. What now?

Whoa, wait.

Are you guys Pre

Please tell me you're Pre-wedding pregnant.

Seriously, my family Could really use the cover.

- hey. My office.

- carve out some time.

- mary. I only need marshall, thanks.

- marshall has seniority. He'll be the first to transfer.

- what are you talking about "First to transfer"?

Transfer where? - denver.

They're shutting down Albuquerque witsec, mary.

We're done.

I know the owner Of this restaurant,

He's good people.

- I've gotta say, I'm kinda glad This "No sleepover" thing

Isn't a strict policy.

Well, norah had an overnight

With mark's mom, And I didn't want one with mine.

Plus, I'm gonna be With her all day

For this dumbass fake wake.

What, did somebody fake die?

- no, someone actually did. My father.

- when you said You didn't return my calls

Because some family stuff Came up.

The family stuff that came up Is that your father died?

- yep, So I've got family in town.

That's fun.

Plus, I might be out of a job In about ten seconds.

It hasn't been The best week.

- yeah, I'm fine.

- all right, I'm gonna let you Get away with that, uh--

With that "I'm fine"--for now.

As your date to the fake wake. - yeah, no.

- come on, it'll be fun. I've never been to a fake wake.

- no, it's-- You're really sweet to offer,

But, I mean, you coming to This...Whatever it is,

It's too much way too soon.

It's skipping steps.

- "Skipping steps." Okay.

Okay.

- yeah, go. - okay.

- hey.

I'm really sorry About your dad.

- see ya.

- thanks.

- so you're gonna be Okay with this?

- yeah, I'm not above Waiting tables.

It lacks the glamour Of runway work,

But at least it's real.

Plus, I'm only in it for The long hours and crappy pay,

So...

- it's just going from My old life in the city to this,

It's all a little whiplash-y, You know?

- I know, But that's normal.

- it's just hard. I don't know anybody here.

It's been eight years, And I still miss my mom.

Is hugging Against the rules?

Uh, well, It is, actually. Kind of.

Whoa. Whoa.

Okay. Okay.

Being a parent

And sticking around.

- hey.

- abigail's coming later.

Or not, I'm not sure. How's this?

The fake wake's ridiculous.

My father didn't have friends. This is basically a reunion

Of jinx's aa pals.

I've heard six different Sobriety stories.

I bumped into a guy earlier.

He tried to make amends On the spot.

I swear to god, these are The least anonymous alcoholics

I've ever met.

- strong. The food's strong.

Why do you think I'm not locked in my room?

- excuse me, everyone.

Everyone.

- here we go. - easy.

- I just wanted to thank All of you for coming.

- hey, what'd you mean before, Not sure about abigail?

- she just might not come.

She's kinda... Something...

Mad, I guess.

- abigail's Got a mad switch?

I thought She was always set to perky.

- and it seemed appropriate To honor those

Who are no longer with us.

And in that spirit, I've prepared a short song.

- dear god. - just breathe.

- oh!

I swear to god, mark installed Those stupid solar panels,

And now I have a blackout?

Seriously, where the hell's The flashlight?

Your father's obviously Gone to some effort

To prove This money's legitimate.

Yes, to reconcile with you, But also to leave you this

As a final gesture. - please.

The guy abandoned our family For 30-plus years.

He thinks He can make up for it

With a little Retroactive charity?

You don't have that anymore. You have me and you have you.

So you gotta learn To protect yourself,

'cause pills or whatever--

I can't protect you From that.

I mean, ultimately, That's up to you.

- I'm such a mess.

- yeah, well, Life's messy.

Look, ever since your mom died, You've been on your own,

And believe me, I know what that's like.

But you're too smart, casey. You're too strong to give up.

But at some point you Have to say "Screw the past"

And just play the hand You're dealt,

'cause otherwise--

Well, There is no otherwise.

I don't know If you're a mom or not,

But I bet you'd be A really great one.

*

Nobody likes letting go.

From our earliest moments,

From birth till We're six feet under,

Our instinct Is to grab, grip, cling.

To a finger, A bottle, a best friend.

To a faded old racing form.

Sometimes we hold on For dear life

To the very things that keep us From actually living it,

But that comes with An upside.

It's the way we feel When we finally let go.

The trick, I guess, Is to not find a way around

The curveballs life serves up, But to live with them

In halfway-happy, Uneasy alliance.

And to search For new things to cling to,

And when you finally find them, To hang on just as tight.

And around And around we go,

Holding on until the time comes To say good-bye.

- oh, no, no.

- and like it or not, Ready or not,

You have to accept One universal truth:

Life is messy, Always and for all of us.

But a wise man once said, "Maybe messy is what you need,"

And I think He might be right.

- so...

You brought a guy. - oh, my god.

- introducing him To your friends.

Interesting. - it's not a big deal.

- all right, all right.

Stupid.

Honestly.

- oh. - oh, dear, worry.

- before it's too late, I'd just like to raise a glass

To old friends, To new beginnings,

To all of us, but especially To the new deputy director.

- stan!

Yeah, stan!

- bon voyage And a fond farewell.

- yeah, stan! - to stan.

- yes, yes.

All: cheers.

- that was very nice.

- don't say "Farewell."
