(school bell rings)
[SINGING]
Numb me down to the core.
Cause love don't live
here anymore.
And, we fought hard,
but we lost the war.
Without you what
am I living for?
Hey.
Whoa yea.
And, I know I can't take
back all the things I did
But if I had one wish
I would wish for
one more chance
Somewhere, fear
took all control
That's when I turned cold.
Won't you give me
one more chance?
Cause I'm a lost river
that never reached the sea.
When you're not here with me.
When you're gone.
- [Shane] Oh, it looks
so great! It's perfect.
- Maybe some of your
father's musical talent
will rub off on him too.
(laughs)
- Oh, well we'll see about that.
Oh, he's gonna be
something special though,
I can feel it.
- I'm ready, I'm ready for
us to officially be a family.
- We are a family.
We'll just get married
when we're ready.
- I'm ready.
- I know, I...
- What is it?
- Oh my god!
- The baby?
(groans)
- It's happening.
- What do you think
about the name Molly?
Honestly, I don't really
give a rat's ass about it.
- You're gonna be a father
in less than a month
and you act like
a freaking child.
- I never asked
for this, you did.
This was your decision.
- No, you begged me
not to use a condom!
You begged me.
You have to deal with
the consequences.
You, it's too late.
I can't do this all alone.
- You're literally delusional.
You take like 500 pills a day,
aren't those supposed
to do something
to make you less insane?
(phone vibrates)
(yells)
(car door slams)
- You are a nightmare.
I feel bad for the baby
because she's gonna have
a nut job for a mother.
- Come back here!
(sobs)
[SINGING]
I'm sick to my bones
Chase?
I don't feel natural
Without you I'm not whole
(panting)
When you're
- Excuse me, excuse me.
gone
So, I'll leave
the light on
- Chase, chase?
In hopes that you will
find your way
Where did my boyfriend,
Chase go?
And make it, save me whole
Chase?
(screams)
Cause I'm a lost river
(screams)
that'll never reach
(screams)
the sea
When you're not here with me
(baby cries)
When you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
(baby cries)
gone, gone, gone
(baby cries)
gone.
- Hey.
(baby fussing)
- Here sweetheart, I
brought you some water.
Oh.
Hey, don't think
about him right now.
Today is about you, and Molly.
(laughs)
- Momma, don't go.
- I know, I know.
I'm so sorry sweetheart,
but we have another
mouth to feed don't we?
I'll be back as
soon as I can, okay?
I love you,
more than the sun, and
the moon, and the stars.
- I know.
(laughs)
- [Nurse] Hi guys, is he quiet?
- Yeah.
- [Nurse] Now might
be the right time
for his full examination.
Hey Dylan.
- [Shane] Aw, poor guy.
(baby cries)
- I'm not goin',
I'm stayin' here.
I quit.
- Oh, listen handsome,
we wanna have food
for that baby when
he gets home?
You have to keep
your job.
Okay, now get
outta here.
- Love you.
- I love you, I'll
see you later.
- Miss Thomas,
I have some difficult news.
Because you haven't yet
expelled your placenta
you have to make a decision.
You can either let the
doctor try and prompt it out.
Or, rather than
risk hemorrhaging,
he can simply remove the uterus.
- I don't know.
I guess, I guess--
- Think it over,
but it is urgent.
I'll be back in
a minute.
- Hey, sorry to eavesdrop,
but I went through
something really similar
five years ago with my daughter.
You don't have to
lose your uterus.
And honestly, I
wouldn't trust a doctor
who doesn't have the
balls to come in here
and tell you that himself.
- What am I supposed to do then?
- Just tell them
you want a surgeon,
their best surgeon
to come in here.
A surgeon.
Don't let them take
away your choice
of having more kids.
(Call bell)
- Where did you come from?
- Heaven.
(laughs)
- Seriously.
- Just kidding, I've
live over in Northeast.
I'm Shane.
- I'm Heather.
Thank you.
- It's no problem.
- Miss Thomas.
- Hi, regarding the placenta,
I would like to speak
with a surgeon, please.
- I'll call Dr. McIntyre.
- Nicely done.
(laughs)
- So, where did your husband go?
He seemed nice.
- Oh, Alex.
Yeah, he's my boyfriend.
He had to be at work at 8:30.
You ever been to Troy's?
He's one of the managers there.
- Oh wow, that's so cool.
Yeah, my boyfriend
didn't show up,
but I think he was
just really nervous.
Yeah, my first born's father,
he was a total loser, too.
You know, musician, (scoffs)
the whole thing.
(laughs)
- So, I was supposed
to move in with him.
You know, and live with him
now that Molly's born, but...
but I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know anymore.
- Honestly, my ex being
out of the picture
was the best thing that
could've ever happened to me.
No influence is better
than a bad influence.
- Yeah, I live with my mom.
We just got 30 days notice
that the landlord was
gonna sell the house
and so, if I don't--
- Wait, seriously?
The apartment across from
us is opening up next month.
It's a two bedroom
and it's only $800.
It would be perfect
for you guys.
This has to happen.
- Who are you?
This is crazy.
Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- Cool, we're moving in.
(laughs)
- Miss Thomas?
You have a visitor.
- Hey.
- S'up?
- You wanna say hi?
(cell phone vibrates)
Seriously Chase, now?
- It's nothing.
- Oh, nothing?
- [Chase] No it-
- Just get outta here.
- What?
I didn't do anything.
- Just get the hell
out of here, Chase.
- What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything.
- Nurse!
What are you doing?
I need a nurse in here please.
- What is it?
- [Heather] I don't
want him here.
- She's insane, I
swear on my life,
I didn't do anything.
- Please, get him
out of here, now.
- [Shane] What are you
talking about?
I just wanted to
see my daughter.
- Nurse, nurse, I
saw everything, okay?
This man is provoking her
when she needs to be resting.
- [Nurse] Okay.
- We need to have
him out immediately.
- I didn't, no, I was just--
- No! Get away from her.
(baby cries)
- You, get the hell out of here.
- [Nurse] Calm down.
- Or, I swear to God,
I will rip that stupid
hair right off your scalp.
Go ahead, you wanna fight me?
I dare you.
(sobs)
- Sweetie, it's ok.
It's okay, he's gone,
okay? It's all over.
Just breathe, breathe.
We're gonna be okay.
We're gonna be okay.
- [Heather] Is that
good, is that yummy?
(baby coos)
- Heath, after everything
that he's put you through,
I mean the least he could do
is throw you a bone
by being flexible.
- Oh, he's given
me a bone alright.
Me and everyone
else in Greendale.
(laughs)
- I mean, you can
let him see Molly,
but it has to be on
your terms, you know.
- I know.
- Oh, I gotta go you guys.
I gotta go to work.
Be good for Aunt Heather, okay?
- I will.
- I'll be back later.
Good luck, Heath.
I know you'll do good.
- [Chase] You know,
I really appreciate
you letting me
hang out with her.
I've been loving it.
It's okay.
- Well, it's time to go.
- Think I'm getting to
be a pretty kick ass dad.
Well, keep doing what I say,
and we can keep doing this.
- Yo, Heath, since
I've kinda proved
that I'm not a
screw up with this.
You think I could
take her this weekend
for a little sleepover?
- No, I mean,
I don't know.
- No, I get it.
I get it.
It's just that my folks are
in town, and so are Melanie's.
And, they really want to
see their granddaughter.
Hi cutie.
- Just let me think
about it, okay?
- [Chase] Hi cutie.
Hi.
- On my god, I love Arthur Park.
- Your folks have
a place out there?
- Oh no, actually I worked
at Zelda's one summer.
It was after my
freshman year at SJU,
I needed some money.
- My son Billy went there to.
When did you graduate?
- Oh, I didn't actually.
Life kinda got in
the way I guess.
- Oh, I sure hope
you make it back.
- Yeah.
(keys rattle)
- [Man You've the upstairs
room and the downstairs room
we need to get both places.
I can't, we can't do this--
- Simon?
- Hey Madeleine, let
me call you right back.
Shane.
My god, Shane.
(laughs)
- Hi
- Oh, my dear, I haven't
seen you since...
- Yeah, it must have
been my dad's last tour.
A couple years before he passed.
- Of course, of course,
you were just getting ready
to go to college.
I mean, writin' your own music.
I remember you had
so many great ideas.
- Yeah.
- You were gonna be a big star.
(laughs)
- Yeah.
- So, what's the
big star doing now?
- Oh, I just locked up my store.
- Your own store, oh.
- It's not actually mine.
- A powerful business woman,
I like it.
- It's not mine.
- So, no more music?
Your dad would be sad.
- I guess yeah.
But no, no more music.
Not in a while, at least.
I think about it a lot though.
I think about him a lot.
Yeah, your dad was
the real thing.
Say, me and Agatha, we're
openin' up a little music club
down on Division.
We're calling it Godot.
I think it would be real cool
it you were a part of it.
- Wait, what?
Why would you need me?
- Your taste.
You've got chic.
I'm telling, you run
your own business.
You make a small investment,
$15,000 or whatever.
And then, after
we open the club,
after about three
or four months,
you make your own money back.
- Wow, running a
music club with you?
I mean--
- Yes.
- that would be like
my dream come true.
- Fine, well we can hash out
the details a little later.
Here's my card.
- Wow, thank you, Simon.
This is amazing.
I will definitely be in touch.
- I'll be waitin'
to hear from ya.
- Okay, bye.
- [Simon] Have a good night.
- Oh my god, this is amazing.
- Hey.
- Hey, I thought you
were supposed to be
hanging with Heather?
- You will never believe
what just happened.
- What?
- I am tripping
out right now.
- Well okay,
tell me.
- Yo, Alex, display case
is out of pint glasses.
You mind grabbing some?
Hey Shane.
Holy moly, great dress.
- Thank you.
We are about to be partners
in a freaking music club.
I ran into this guy who managed
my dad's band in the 90s.
He's the one who got, "Call
Yourself" on the radio.
He's like launched
their entire career.
He's so successful.
He's been everywhere.
And, he flat out
offered me partnership
in the club he's opening.
I mean could we ask
for a better fit?
- Wow, that sounds great.
So, he just like offered
it to you on the spot?
- [Shane] Yeah, well I mean,
he's known me my
entire life, Alex.
He gets me.
And, all we need
to invest is 15k,
which is nothing compared to
what this place'll rake in.
- 15K?
That's not exactly
nothing, honey.
- [Shane] Seriously babe?
I mean for business people
that practically is nothing.
In order to secure
the rest of our lives
I'm pretty sure we can
come up with 15,000.
And, you're gettin' a
raise next week, so.
- Look, I'm into it.
I'm into it, I just gotta
get back downstairs.
We'll talk about it tonight.
- Alright, I'm not gonna
leave you alone about this.
- [Shane] Yes!
Come with me.
Hi, just two more of these.
Oh, and two beers.
(laughs)
[SINGING]
It's only laughter
And this guy, he
worked with my dad
for so many years.
And, when he passed, and
all the pain I went through,
and like, just everything.
It all means
something, you know?
Does that make any sense?
- No, honestly Shane,
it trips me out how
similar we are sometimes.
I was just talking
to my therapist
about just how happy
I've been recently.
- You've been so good, Heath.
You've been so good.
- But, you didn't know
me in high school.
I mean, for once I finally
don't just feel like
the crazy girl.
I mean, when I was
diagnosed as bipolar
in some ways it was
good to know but,
I don't know, I kinda
think it made everyone
a little scared of me.
But, you and Alex are
so amazing, so amazing!
And, I don't know,
I just feel like
the three of us are
just meant to be.
- Oh my god, we are, right?
We are, (laughs)
until the day we die.
- Until the day we die.
- It's okay, okay hold her up.
(laughs)
- I can walk on my own.
- Can you?
Are you sure?
- Entrepreneurs only.
(laughs)
- Are you sure you
don't need help?
- [Shane] I'm fine,
just give me a second.
- Come on, I'll take you home.
- Okay.
Woo, it's hot.
- Whoa, what is that?
What?
- Huh?
- Turn around, let me see this.
(giggles)
Oh my god, that is crazy.
Look, check it out, look.
- You have one, too?
- Right?
How come I've never
noticed yours?
- You weren't looking?
- Black Sheep, blessing
and curse, right?
- Mostly curse, as
far as I can tell.
- Yeah.
Well, Shane is really happy
that you came into out lives and
I am too.
- Yeah, well good night.
(door squeaks)
- [Melanie] I mean,
I guess I can't say
I'm a fashion designer
because, technically,
I've never really
designed anything.
But, I feel like I have
like a really good eye
for that kind of stuff.
Anyway, it was so good to
see you, it really was.
- You too.
- Thanks again for letting
us take her, Heath.
- Don't forget her Dora doll,
and to tuck her in with it.
- I'll take good
care of her, okay?
- Tuck her in with it
before she falls asleep.
- See you Monday.
- Yeah, right before my
job interview, right?
- Let's not.
- Call me if literally
anything happens.
- We'll see you.
(car starts)
(slow piano music)
- Hey babe.
Tell me something good,
you get that raise baby?
You're kidding, what?
- They said they couldn't
afford it right now.
- What?
Oh please, I've seen how
much money that place
pulls in a night.
That is absurd.
- Four years, I've been
here four freaking years.
- What are we supposed
to do about the Godot?
- I don't know babe.
I'm just as
disappointed as you are.
(sighs)
- What if we call your dad?
We have to do something.
I'm tired of watching
everyone else pass us by.
We are smarter than that.
- Hey Chase, it's me.
I just was calling to check in,
wanted to see how, you
know, things were going.
I guess, just give me a
call when you get this.
Otherwise, I'll
just see you soon.
Okay, bye.
Love to Molly.
- Hey.
- Hey baby.
- [Melanie] Honestly,
she was such an angel.
My mom nearly had
a heart attack.
Not really, I
shouldn't say that.
- We seriously had a great
time though, Heather.
Honestly, we'd love to make this
a more regular thing, you know?
- Babe, I'm gonna go
wait in the car, okay?
- Sure.
- Bye.
- So, I actually got off
the phone with my buddy Leo,
who's a lawyer.
Just to talk about
what's the most fair
with all this custody stuff.
- Wait, wait what?
A lawyer?
- Yeah, just to get some info.
- Chase, what are you
even talking about?
- Well, I thought it
might be nice to get Molly
off your hands sometimes.
It's okay, you know for
your health, I mean.
What if we came over
this Thursday night
to discuss all this?
Give you a little
more time to process.
- Yeah.
Definitely talk about it.
- [Chase] Take it easy,
I'll see you Thursday.
(baby cries)
- [Shane] Hi there.
- [Loan officer] Hi.
- [Shane] I'm Shane Reilly.
I'm looking to take out a loan.
- [Loan officer] Well, you
came to the right place, Shane.
What can I do for you?
- Well, I'm actually
going to be a partner
in a new music venue called
Godot, over on Division street.
And, I'll need $15,000.
- Well, we would need to start
with this year's tax returns.
- Oh, okay, I have that.
- Great.
- Here you go.
(Baby cries)
(knock at door)
- What are you, what
are you cryin' for?
- Thanks again, so
much, for watching her.
- Oh, come here.
- I'm sorry, she's
been kinda fussy today.
- Of course, it's okay baby.
We'll just dance.
We'll just dance, huh?
Look at your moves.
Take a little dancin' lesson?
- You're so good with her.
You really have
the magic touch.
- Yeah, I guess I got
a way with the ladies.
- Well, I should go.
Thank you.
- Alright, no problem, see ya.
- No, I admit he's gorgeous,
and he's so cute with Molly.
But, I know, he would never,
never, go for a girl like me.
And, I wouldn't
even want him too.
I love Shane, and
she is stunning,
and they're perfect together.
And, I almost feel
like we're just this
one big, happy family
together, you know?
- Listen Heather, you're
very excitable right now.
I have to say, I'm concerned.
And remember, the nature
of bipolar disorder
are peaks and valleys.
I'd hate to see you fall
into another depression.
Do you ever have
fantasies
of Shane being out
of the picture?
- No, never.
Shane is my best friend.
Nothing could get
in the way of that.
- Let's try tweaking
that medication again.
(murmuring)
(doorbell chimes)
- You expecting somebody?
- Coming.
Chase,
what are you?
What are you doing here?
We said we were gonna
come over Thursday night.
Remember, to discuss
all the custody stuff?
Do you mind if we come in?
- Sure.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
- So, here's the deal.
Melanie got a really good job
at a dentist office
in Gurnsville.
So, we're moving out there.
Which means, if we can't
solve this between us,
we're gonna have to
have the court decide
what's most fair, you
know, custody-wise.
- Court?
What?
Absolutely not Chase.
Are you insane?
You didn't even want
this beautiful baby girl.
I gave birth alone.
I have been raising her alone.
And now, you just want
to come and swoop her up
whenever the hell
you feel like it?
Because, oh what, you're
starting to have fun?
It is not all fun and
games, let me tell you that.
You have absolutely no
idea what goes into this.
No idea!
- Heather.
- Okay, guys, can we find a
better time to talk about this?
Heather's had a big week.
- No, I haven't mom.
He's trying to take Molly.
I want to talk about this now.
(baby cries)
- This is exactly the problem.
I don't think it's healthy
for her to be around you
when you're like this.
- Get out.
Get out of here Chase.
Just get the hell out.
She is my baby.
My baby.
- Okay, okay, can
you just calm down?
Listen to me.
Okay, I'm going to
walk over there,
I'm going to take
Molly right now,
because I don't think you're
in a healthy head space.
- Over my dead body.
- Chase, please you
are upsetting her.
- Now, get the hell out of here.
I'm not gonna ask you again.
- Just calm down, okay.
We're gonna take
Molly off your hands
until you're feeling
a little better--
- Don't you dare touch me.
(baby screaming)
Do not push me, Chase.
I told you to get out,
so get out.
- Or else what, Heather?
Or else, what?
- Oh, what, you
don't believe me?
You don't believe me?
You wanna push me, Chase?
Go ahead, push me.
- Or else what?
- I want everybody to calm down.
(baby screaming)
- I warned you not to push me.
Now get the hell outta here.
I hate you.
- I'm sorry, Heather.
- I hate you.
- Just calm down.
- I won't calm down.
You calm down.
- Put the knife down,
please Heather, okay?
Don't...
- It's okay, it's okay.
(baby screaming)
- It's gonna be okay.
It's okay.
(sobs)
It's okay.
(sobs)
- Breathe, breath,
(hyperventilating)
you're gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
- Okay, you have crossed
a major line, okay?
This is not okay.
Open the door, Mel.
Look at yourself.
You think this is what a
responsible mother looks like?
See you in court.
- Baby,
Oh sweetheart.
It's okay.
- No!
No!
No, no, no, no, no.
(screams)
- It's ok.
(sobbing)
- Heather, Heather.
What a coward.
I would have kicked
him down the stairs
if he wasn't holding Molly.
It's okay, sweetheart.
- He took my baby, and I'm
never gonna see her again.
(sirens)
- [Lawyer] Look, with
your medical condition
and the police report from
the incident last week,
well this doesn't exactly make
this just a walk in the park.
Molly is going to have
to stay with the ex,
until the trial,
that's for sure.
But, at the end of the
day 60% of custody cases
go to the mother.
So, what I need
you to start doing
is thinking of people that
we can put on the stand
to testify what an outstanding
individual that you are.
- Wait, you mean like
a character witness?
I can do that.
What do you need me to say?
Heather is like the most
responsible woman I know.
She watches my kids
like three times a week.
- She watches your children?
Well, that's perfect,
that's perfect.
Listen, I can't
make any promises,
but you stay out of trouble
and I think we can get you
at least partial custody.
We can win this thing.
You just stay positive.
(knock at door)
(knock at door)
(running down steps)
- Hey, I was just popping by
to see how you were feeling.
I know you've had a
rough coupla weeks.
I was gonna run some errands
if you wanted to join.
Get outta the house.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, actually I
could use a distracion.
Let me just change really quick.
- Of course being a partner
in a club would be sick,
but, you know, it's
kind of a lot of money.
- What does Shane think?
- I wanna do this for her.
I wanna do it for
the family, you know?
It's like kind of what I'm
supposed to do, you know?
It's just, it drives me
crazy that every time
I come close to making
people in my life proud,
I find a way to screw it up.
- Honestly, Alex, you
haven't screwed anything up.
You're basically the
greatest man I've ever met.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
- [Eric] He's apologizing
and apologizing,
and begs me to keep him on.
- Tell them how it ends.
You are a terrible
at telling stories.
- What do you mean?
He was embezzling, I
fired his sorry ass.
- That's what a man
has to do in business.
Can't be sentimental,
leave that for Christmas time.
- Eric, I want you to try this.
This is a 25 year bottle.
- [Eric] Thanks, Ken.
- Alex, how's that
sobriety coming these days?
Are you on the wagon
or off right now?
- On the wagon, Dad.
18 months, actually.
- Hey Alex, how's Troy's going?
Eric and I keep meaning
to visit you there.
- It' fine.
You guys should
come down sometime.
We have some of the finest
bottled and tap beer
in the western state, dad.
- You know, I love golf,
but I didn't make
it my life's work.
- Nah, you've spent
your 10,000 hours
becoming the most charming
person at a dinner table.
- Why don't you
just stop this crap
and come to work
for your old man.
- Come on, dad.
- What?
The boy is a wealth
of potential,
and if he can just past this
Rebel Without a Cause schtick,
he could actually make
something out of himself.
- Actually, Alex and I are
about to become partners
in a new music venue
down on Division.
- No way, Alex,
that sounds amazing.
- Yeah, we're taking out a loan,
and the chief investor is
actually this pretty legendary
band manager from New York.
It's going to be beautiful,
specialty cocktails,
a huge dance floor.
- You know, that's a great
idea, I've been hearing people
talk about Division.
- You know, my firm built
one of those a few years ago,
and it actually did pretty well.
- Well, I'll be damned son.
I'll be damned.
- Right here, one of the bars,
three chandeliers, very chic.
And, over in this
corner, I'm thinking a
sort of a lounge,
chill out vibe area.
- Have you ever been over
to Selma's in Cold Spring?
They have the best
deals on vintage
that isn't all picked over.
- This is why I love this girl.
- [Alex] So, two bars, one
here, maybe one over there?
- [Simon] Just
drinking and dancing.
(phone vibrates)
- Oh, sorry guys, I'm
gonna have to take this.
- Surely.
- Hello?
- [Susan] Hello,
this is Susan Paxton
from Greendale
Credit and Savings.
Can I speak with
Shane Reilly, please?
- Hi Susan, yes this is she.
Thanks so much for
calling me back.
- It's my pleasure.
I was just calling to inform you
and I'm sorry to say that you
loan application is not...
- I'm sorry, was not approved?
Is there a problem?
Wait, wait, wait what?
Is there nothing that
I can do about this?
What?
No!
(bucket crashes and
rolls around noisily)
- [Alex] Yeah, absolutely,
the pleasure's all mine.
Hey babe, we gotta go.
I'm gonna be late for work.
- Shane, so good
finding you again.
I hope this works out.
- Me too, thank you.
- You okay?
- Yeah, just some nonsense at
the store, it's no big deal.
(phone rings)
- Hey Ken?
Hi, it's Shane.
- [Ken] Well, hi there Shane.
What can I do you for?
- Oh, do you remember
that music venue
we were talking about
the other night?
Well, it's going to help us
realize our full potential.
You know, all the stuff you're
always talkin' to Alex about.
Here's the thing though,
I just got a pretty
devastating call from the bank,
that's gonna make
everything a little tricky.
Alex would kill me if he even
knew I was making this call.
But, I know how much you care
about your grandkids and--
- [Ken] Hey, I'm sorry Shane,
I'm gonna have to cut
you off right there.
That sounds like something you
guys are really excited about
but we're just not in
a position right now
where we can offer any handouts.
- That's nice that
you're supportive,
but this isn't
exactly a handout,
it's an investment.
- [Ken] Yeah, I'm sorry Shane.
We just can't make something
like that work right now.
And, I actually have to go.
- I just felt like we were
right on the brink, you know?
Like, finally about
to do something
that didn't feel pointless.
- You have two amazing kids,
and a boyfriend that loves you.
What's pointless about that?
- I don't know.
I just,
I feel like I have so
much more potential
than that, you know?
I mean, by the
time my dad was 23
he'd already toured nationally.
- Honestly, Shane
you are the most
resourceful, brilliant
person I've ever met.
When you want something,
you make it happen.
I don't know, maybe you just
need to think outside the box.
- I think we're going
to get going in a bit.
Do you think you could
maybe babysit for me later?
It might be kinda late.
[SINGING]
oh, oh, oh
We're gonna get you out
oh, oh, oh
- You are the loves of my
life, I'll see you later.
- Bye.
(heels clicking on floor)
(ominous music)
(door slams)
(knock on door)
- What are you doin' here?
- Take me to the
safe, tough guy.
(sensual music)
[SINGING]
We felt the Earth move
(gasps)
Was it us flying to high
We told ya'
(sensual music)
Take me to the safe.
(laughs)
- What do you mean?
- It means take me to the safe.
I want to see all that money
Peter's been hoarding from us.
- I don't think I can do that.
- Don't you want to show
your family once and for all
that you're a man?
That you don't need
anything from them?
- This is crazy, babe.
- This is the end of the road.
We are out of options.
These people screwed us, babe.
The life that we want is
right there in front of us.
We can't be afraid to take it.
You know that
laptop right there?
The one that all the security
footage is downloaded on to?
Well, if that went missing
could've been anybody.
- You're out of your mind.
(tape tearing)
(metallic clink)
(loud thud)
(grunts)
(door opens)
- Hey girls!
(door slams)
- Hey.
Where have you been?
- It's happening.
It is all (cork pops) happening.
(laughs)
Godot is happening.
- What's going on?
(upbeat music)
- You believe in me.
I doubted myself,
but you knew I could do it.
- Aren't we gonna
wake Dylan and Sadie?
- It doesn't matter,
it doesn't matter.
- Okay.
(laughs)
(pills rattle in a bottle)
(muffled yelling)
(news broadcast in background)
- [Reporter] Alex,
why don't you tell us
a little bit about
what happened.
- [Alex] Well, I was
locking up for the night
and these two guys
came out of nowhere
and then they held
a gun to my head
and asked me to tell
them where the safe was.
After I did, the duct
taped my mouth shut
and tied me to a chair.
After a few hours,
after I didn't come home
my girlfriend called the police.
- And Shane, obviously
you're very shaken.
- Oh, this whole this has
really rocked our family.
- Oh my god.
- [Strange distorted female
voice] Are you okay, Heather?
It is Heather, right?
- Yes, yes it's just--
- She lives right across the
courtyard from Shane and Alex.
Have you heard about all this?
It's just insane.
- [Shane] It's like our
innocence was taken from us.
- [Reporter] Well
there you have it.
We reiterate, if anyone
has any information
which could lead to the arrest
of these violent criminals,
you're asked to contact the
authorities immediately.
- Heather, hey.
Oh my god,
it is so good to see you.
Stuff has been going down.
- Yeah, I know.
I saw it on the news.
- It's so crazy, and scary.
I think the whole thing really
freaked Alex out, you know?
- Yeah, yeah I can only imagine.
- Yeah,
so we're actually about
to go to the park.
Do you want to come with us?
- You know what?
I actually haven't
been feeling that well,
and I think I might be
coming down with something.
- Okay, I'll see you later.
- Uh-huh.
- Welcome, welcome.
Come, this way.
Gentlemen, this is
the fabulous woman
that I was telling you about.
The one who own the chic
shop on West Jermaine.
She will make Godot look
like a million bucks.
- It's a big day for us.
Here it is.
- Congratulations,
and welcome aboard.
(glass bottle clanging together)
- Hey Alex, can I talk
with you for a sec?
- Yeah, sure.
- Alex, you've been a hell
of an asset around here.
The past four years you've
really stepped it
up big time, bro.
- Thank you.
- Look, I don't know what's
going on in your personal life.
We never had that
kind of relationship,
but this whole thing
has really put a cloud
over what we're
trying to do here.
And unfortunately, I think
I'm gonna have to let you go.
- What are you talking about?
- Look, the cops seem
to think that they have
some pretty strong
evidence you're their guy.
I don't trust cops
for half a second,
why would you do
something like this?
But, until this all blows over
it doesn't make any
sense to have you here.
- Pete, do you actually
believe that crap?
I mean, come on, I've run
this place for you, Peter.
This place would fall apart
without me dude, come on.
And, this is the thanks I get?
You accuse me of stealing?
You know what I think, Pete?
I think you've been skimming
off the top for years now.
You don't have enough money
to give raises this year?
You think I'm stupid?
Come on, man.
(door slams)
- (Knock on door)
- [Shane] One minute.
Careful.
What's goin' on?
- [Female officer]
Good evening ma'am,
are you Shane Reilly?
- I am, yeah, how
can I help you guys?
- Got a few questions about
the robbery your boyfriend,
Alex Lokken, was involved with.
You mind if we come in?
- That's fine, sure.
Right this way.
(somber music)
[SINGING]
And though the troubles in
the dark
I will hold
all the light's on you
We give ourselves
a shining start
All alone
All alone
And, all the roses
turn to black
And, my heart
is as cold as stone
We give ourselves
a shining start
All alone
(knock on door)
- Are you okay?
Hey, come in.
Come on.
What's up?
What's wrong?
- I'm screwed.
I'm so screwed.
I don't wanna go to jail.
I really don't wanna go to jail.
I keep lettin' her do this.
I've been following her
around like her little dog
our entire lives.
I don't know if I
can do it anymore.
- It's okay, it's alright.
I'm here.
And, we're gonna figure
this out together.
Okay, I'm here.
- I can't, I gotta go.
I gotta go,
I'm sorry.
(stumbles on stairs)
- Where have you been?
- Sit.
Sit, Shane.
Where have I been?
Where have I been?
I got fired today, babe.
You wanna know
what else, sweetie?
The cops know everything.
Everything!
Our kids,
our two babies get to
grow up parentless.
- You need to just shut
up and listen to me, Alex.
The cops have already been here.
I've been researching
this all night, okay?
We can beat this.
We just need to be
smart right now.
We neet to get married,
as soon as possible.
Federal law says that spouses
cannot testify
against each other.
Alex, they have no witnesses.
Do you understand?
If we can't testify, then
they don't have any evidence.
(laughs)
What?
What are you
laughing at?
- Is that the only reason
you want to get married?
- Oh my god, baby of course not.
Oh, come on.
You're Dylan's daddy.
You're the father
he's always wanted.
I wasn't ready
before but, you know,
this is our chance.
- Okay.
- There's just one more thing.
- [Alex] What?
- We need to talk about Heather.
She's the only one
who can screw us now.
She still needs need
us to testify for her
at her custody hearing, but
she's been acting really
weird with me, Alex.
We haven't lost her, but we
need to maintain control.
It also doesn't hurt that
she's in love with you.
Not sure if you've noticed.
I know things have been a
little weird with us recently.
I hate to even have
to bring this up, but
it looks like the cops think
Alex and I have something to do
with the robbery at
Troy's, which is crazy.
But, you are literally the
only person in the world
who can prove that we didn't.
- Hm, hm.
- Heather, I get it.
Your court date is coming up.
You're worried
about losing Molly.
I am terrified of
something happening
that can take me away
from Dylan and Sadie.
We're living parallel
lives right now.
It's like we almost have to
save each other, you know?
I'll testify for you,
if you testify for me.
(laughs)
- I don't know, Shane.
This is all just really,
really confusing.
- I know, I know.
You're the best friend
I've ever had, Heather.
Probably, the only person who
has ever really understood me.
Will you be my Maid of Honor?
- What?
- Alex proposed.
We're getting married,
next week.
- Ow, my god!
- Are you okay?
- No, it's just a splinter.
(knock at door)
- [Female officer] Miss Thomas?
We're investigating the robbery
at Troy's the other night.
Shane Reilly said
that she was with you?
So, you see Miss Reilly's alibi
for the night of the robbery
comes down to your
testimony, Heather.
I understand you have a
custody hearing coming up.
Let me remind you how
detrimental it could be
to withhold information
about this crime.
(somber music)
[SINGING]
I kneel before you
to catch your dripping tears
They fall into my palms
like oh so many years
I take the lashes
from your back
to make you smile
Carry you with broken feet
across the dusty mile.
(applause)
- So, I am so excited
that Alex found Shane.
There was a rocky
coupla years there.
But, I really think that Shane
is turning you into the man
you're meant to be.
Now, lets just all raise
a glass to Alex and Shane.
Cheers.
(cheers)
- I'll be right back.
Here, here, here,
here calm down.
God, there's so many
people in there.
I don't know how I
ever did this sober.
Alex, this is so weird for me.
To watch you guys get
married and talk about
the rest of your
lives together?
I thought you said you
were done with her.
- I know.
Look, things are complicated
between me and Shane right now.
But, I can't stop
thinking about that night.
- Alex, I've been thinking
about that night non-stop.
Alex, there's something
I need to tell you.
- What?
- I don't really
know how--
- What is it?
- [Woman] Alex,
you better get in here.
- [Shane] This is absurd,
Alex do something.
- [Alex] Hey, what's going on?
You have no right...
(noisy clamor)
- It's okay, mommy's
coming right back.
- [Man] Alex!
- Heather, take care of them.
(ominous music)
- [Lawyer] Thank you.
You must be Alex and Shane.
I'm Conor Savage,
Ken Lokken's attorney.
- It's great to meet
you, Mr. Savage.
We are very grateful.
Okay, let's cut to the chase.
When you can you get us
the hell out of here.
- Alex, you're father's
agreed to post bail.
As long as all the
paperwork goes through
we should have you out
of here in a few hours.
- Oh, thank god.
Okay, so next steps.
How do we bash it in
to these idiots' skulls
that we are good,
hardworking parents
who had absolutely
nothing to do with this.
I was with my best
friend, Heather,
literally the entire night.
And, she'll tell you
the exact same thing.
- Look, we're not exactly
sure what evidence
the prosecution has against
you, until pre-trial.
Are you absolutely sure
that this friend of yours
will vouch for you?
- Absolutely.
(knock on door)
(knock on door)
- Hey Shane, what's up?
- Hi.
I was just on my way out.
My god, it's been
a crazy 24 hours.
It's not really
exactly how I imagined
my wedding night to end.
- Yeah, that was crazy.
- Yeah.
I can't really stay and chat,
I just was wondering if,
have you talked to the cops yet?
- Ah yeah, the cops came by.
- They did?
- Yeah, and they just
said I would have to
answer some more
questions later.
And, I don't know,
we didn't really go into depth
or anything like that.
- Okay, so that's,
that's it?
Got it.
Okay,
what are you doing later?
Alex is making fajitas tonight.
You should come by.
- Yeah, maybe.
- So, I can count you in?
- Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
- Okay, great.
Then, I will see you later then,
I guess.
(door slams)
(car door shuts)
- Hey Simon, it's Shane.
I haven't heard from
you in a minute.
Just calling to make sure
everything's still on track.
Give me a call when
you get a second, okay?
I'll talk to you soon.
- [Voicemail message] You've
got Simon, leave a name.
(phone dialing)
You've got Simon, leave a name.
(phone ringing)
- Alex, Godot is boarded up
and Simon won't return
any of my calls.
- [Alex] What do you mean?
- And, and Heather
talked to the cops.
- [Alex] What?
What did she say?
- I don't know.
I don't think she has
our backs anymore.
I don't think we can trust her.
- [Alex] What does that mean?
She has to.
She needs us to testify
at her custody trial.
- Yeah, I know.
That's the running theory.
(door closes)
- Hey.
- How are you?
- I'm alright, thanks.
What a way to spend my
wedding night, right?
- So, what the heck happened?
- Well, the whole thing is
just a big misunderstanding.
Honestly, I think they are
just grasping at straws
with this whole robbery thing.
Local police departments, right?
- Yeah, you guys have really
been through it lately, huh?
Did you hear about this
Heather thing, too?
The whole saga with her
baby and the ex-boyfriend?
- Oh yeah, he's a nightmare.
Alex and I are actually
testifying for her
at her hearing on the 15th.
- Oh my god, well we'll see
you there then, I guess.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Heather also
asked us to testify.
Guess it doesn't hurt
to have too many people
saying nice things
about you, right?
- Yeah, sure does feel good
to be loyal to your friends.
(door closes)
(giggles)
- Hey sweetheart,
how's it going?
What's all this stuff for?
- Well. some of it's
for Molly, obviously,
obviously.
And then, some of it
is for Sadie and Dylan.
Turns out, Shane's not as
great as we hoped, mom.
And, I think she might be
going away for a while.
- Heather, what on earth
are you talking about?
- I mean, Alex is
gonna need my help
takin' care of the kids.
Alex, is gonna need my help.
- Heather, talk to me.
What's going on?
- Mom, don't worry.
Things are finally looking up.
Will you unzip me?
- [Mom] Heather
Will you unzip me?
- Heather.
It scare me when
you get like this.
- Come on, unzip me.
(zips)
Thanks.
- Hello, Dr.
Horowitz, this is...
this is Becky Thomas.
Yeah, great.
- [Sadie] Mommy?
- Just set them down
right there, sweetie.
- [Sadie] Is Heather
coming with us
to see Aunt Marcia tomorrow?
- No, sweetie, I don't think so.
I think Aunt Marcia wants
you two little munchkins
all to herself.
(knock at door)
- [Heather] Hello!
Hi cutie pie.
- Dinner's ready.
- I wanna take Molly
there when she's younger.
Like, really young, you know?
Just imagine how
inspiring it would be
to see a real rocket
ship just blast in space.
Molly is such smarty,
I can already tell.
Maybe, I can inspire
her that young women
are capable of anything.
And, they are.
- That's great.
Heather, you know who I
ran into today, outside?
- Like, obviously I know I have
to win this thing first, but
I don't know, it's like
suddenly everything
ahead just seemed so clear,
it's like I'm looking
through a crystal.
Like, I'm a great
mother, you know?
And, I just don't
see how the judge
could possibly not see that.
I mean, that Melanie, she's
so weird and so skinny.
Like, do you even
think she eats at all?
- Heather, you know Kate
from downstairs, right?
- They're not so bad, really.
It's just that they
have no experience.
I think had they
been a part of it,
from the beginning,
like I clearly was,
- Heather?
- I think they could have
been really good, but
- [Shane] Heather?
- they weren't,
and that's gonna
work against them.
- Heather!
Will you stop talking
for one second?
There are other
people at this table.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Would you like to control
the conversation, Shane?
What would you
like to talk about?
It's a pretty bad habit,
to be honest with you,
and Alex and I, we're
gettin' a little sick of it.
- You leave my
husband out of this.
(scoffs)
- Little late for that, Shane.
You know we were just talking
about it the other day,
you have no idea how hard
he fights for this family.
And, I think, he thinks,
he needs somebody
who appreciates that.
- I know what you're
doing, Heather.
And, it's not gonna work.
If you think for one second
that you have this whole
custody hearing wrapped up,
because you have the lesbian
vote from downstairs,
think again.
You know, I just might decide
to show up at your hearing
and tell everyone what
a nutcase you are.
And, that I don't trust
you around my children.
(glass smashes)
- Oh, oh, you think
you have the power?
You're not getting
anywhere near my hearing,
and you wanna know why?
Because, I can have you
thrown in jail anytime I want.
I'm sorry about
the wine, sweetie.
- [Alex] What the hell
is your problem, Shane?
- Heather.
Heather, Heather!
Hey, hey, come here.
- Your wife's a bitch, Alex.
I'm so sick of it.
It's hell.
It is honestly hell for
me to be sitting in there
looking at you two
pretending like,
like I don't just wanna...
- I know, I know.
I know.
I just don't know what to do.
We have kids, we're married.
- I love those kids, Alex.
I honestly think of Sadie
and Dylan as my own.
I just don't know
what to do about her.
I would do anything for you.
Anything.
- Okay, Shane is
leaving out of town.
We can spend some time together.
- What do you want
to do with me?
- I want to do
everything with you.
- So, where are you taking me?
- It's a surprise.
- I've a surprise for you, too.
- Yeah?
- I'll show you mine,
if you show me yours.
- It's just a place we
used to go in high school,
away from everything.
I think you'll like it.
- I'm honored you're
taking me to it.
- This is it.
- Wow, this is so magical.
- Grab this.
(pouring wine)
- Hey, you can relax.
You're here with me now.
(kissing)
(grunts)
- Surprise, didn't mean
to ruin the moment.
(grunts)
I begged you, Heather.
I begged you.
I don't ask for much, you know.
Just for my best
friends to have my back.
- What is she doing here?
- Do you think we wanted this?
Do you think we wanted
to lure you out here?
Do you think we
wanted any of this?
- Alex, you knew about this?
What is this?
Shane, look at me.
What is this?
- Stay down, you little slut.
You don't love me.
I'm replaceable.
As soon as you found someone
else to testify for you
you dropped me like a hot brick.
- Me?
You knew how careful I
had to be about Molly
and you didn't care.
You dragged me into this
without even caring,
without even thinking about me.
Alex, you know
that's what she does.
And, she's doing it again.
Please,
please stop her.
Please--
- [Shane] Shut up!
- No, don't.
No, this isn't happening.
Isn't happening,
isn't happening.
No, no, no.
- [Alex] stay still.
- Stay still!
- What do I do?
Alex?
- No.
- Alex?
- No!
(glass shatters)
(grunts)
(yelling)
- [Alex] Get off her!
Stand up!
Get off of her.
Stop.
(loud thud)
(gun fires)
Stay still.
I said, stay still
Stay still.
- You could have done
anything you wanted.
I idolized you.
But, you screwed up and
now you want to shut me up,
well guess what.
It's too late, the cops
already know everything.
- What the hell are
you talking about?
- The laptop with
the surveillance
you thought you destroyed?
I handed it over to the police.
- You're bluffing.
I don't believe
you for one second.
- Alex, they already know.
They know everything.
They know that you were just
dragged along for the ride.
You can still save yourself.
You don't have to ruin the
rest of your life, please.
I'm begging you.
Please.
- [Shane] Alex.
Alex.
- You wanna know why
you end up hurting
the people who
love you the most?
You're so afraid
of them seeing you
for the disappointment
you actually are.
You're a failure, Shane.
Thank god your father never
got to see who you became.
- Shoot her, Alex.
Shoot her.
- No, no Alex,
please, I love you.
We can be together.
- [Shane] Alex,
put your skinny little finger
on the trigger and shoot it.
Do it, do it now!
- No, shoot her!
- [Shane] Oh my god, do
I have to do everything?
- [Heather] Alex,
(gun fires)
(loud thud)
(coughs, gurgles)
I loved you, Alex.
(gun misfires)
(somber music)
(gun hits floor)
[SINGING]
People seem to see
right through me
but I'm alive
Alex, she'll
betray you too.
When it suits her.
I'm still waiting to be saved
- What is it gonna take
to shut you up!
- Shane, stop!
Shane, that's enough.
As I lay
on my tear stained pillow
Can anyone hear me call?
As I lay on my
tear stained pillow
Can anyone hear me fall
Can anyone hear me call
Is anyone there at all
Cause I'm still breathing
Come lie with me
And together we'll
rest in peace
together we'll rest in peace
together we'll rest in peace
(phone vibrates)
- Hello?
(sobs) no.
(door clicks shut)
- Sorry 'bout that.
- That's okay.
- Let's begin again.
The morning of the murder.
- I woke up and came
out of the bedroom.
I found Alex
extremely intoxicated.
He'd been sober for 22 months,
so it was really scary
to see him like that.
- But, why Heather?
Why would he kill her?
- Heather was the only
one who what he'd done,
besides me.
- Did he tell you what he
had planned to do to her?
- Yes, he did.
But, I guess I just
didn't believe him,
or maybe I didn't want to.
I just kind of panicked.
I didn't know what to do,
so I just...
When he took her out there,
I followed them.
But, it was too late.
I had just seen her
the night before,
my best friend.
It was like a horror movie.
Alex murdered her.
I know I should have come
forward sooner about everything.
But, I wanna help now,
in any way that I can.
It's taken some time, but
now I realize,
Alex is a psychopath.
- So, you're telling me that
this was all Alex's idea?
The robbery, the murder?
You weren't involved
in any of this?
- Absolutely not.
(rock music)
- [Female officer] You
are both under arrest.
- [Sadie] Mommy, daddy,
what is happening?
- [Shane] What?
- [Alex] What's you
tell them, Shane?
What'd you tell them?
- I didn't tell them anything.
Me, I need to talk
to the detective.
I'm...
[SINGING]
Come on light the darkest
night I see him in you
Holdin' that trigger
tight, got the devil in you
I know that it is time
I paid my dues
And I'll be by the river
if you make it on time
till the dark turns to light
you can bury my love
you can bury my love
I know that it's time
I paid my dues.
