Hurry, please! Hurry! No!
I swear to God, if you don't start telling me the truth,
you're gonna be-- - All right, all right,
I will tell you the truth. The truth is... that...
the truth is that I just feel like you haven't been paying
enough attention to me. - No, you're lying.
- And I missed you, and I just-- - Lies! You're just lying,
you're saying this. You're twisting it!
Just to placate me like I'm some kind of idiot.
Do you understand? I'm not going back to jail!
- You need to be taught a lesson. - No.
- Yeah, oh yeah. - No, Larry, please don't!
[screams]
Guys, I am so far in front of you, like--
Dan, she's right in front!
- Ah-ha! Oh! - Okay, okay.
I am so passed you guys.
Okay, Claud, stop trying so hard.
Well, why don't you try to keep up?
Like, she's gonna try hard.
I can't believe you chose that sword, Dan. It's the lamest one.
I can't believe you're still wearing that hoodie, Claudia.
What is this, day ten?
You are correct.
Um, are we not going to class today, guys?
[video game blooping] Yeah! Yeah!
Let me guess, you guys had chips for breakfast.
Yeah, I mean, it was either that or ramen.
Yeah, or the last teaspoon of peanut butter.
Talk about failure to launch.
I mean, whose turn is it to go into town to do groceries?
- I don't know, I'm really busy. - Right, right.
Isabella, can you please tell Talia that we're really busy
doing our homework. I mean, theoretical physics and math?
- What were we thinking? - Kinda love our classes.
And by the way, Claud, my dad can teach you how to do laundry.
Your dad. Your dad's getting out today.
Uh, correction, he's out and he's on his way.
- He'll be here like, any minute. - What? Tal, that's amazing.
I know!
[car rumbles]
[gentle music plays]
Honey boy! [exhales happily]
Honey girl, come here! Come here! Oh!
Aw, yeah. That's... you're... geez.
You're enormous. You're enormous.
Oh, God. [laughs happily]
- Hello. - He's here.
How ya doin'? Hello.
- Hey. - Hi.
- Isabella, how are ya? - Larry!
Good to see you. Hey.
You met on Skype that one time.
Thank you for looking after Tal while I was--
She's told me so much about you.
- Yeah, she did? - And this is Dan and Santos.
- Hi, how ya goin'? - Hey.
- Hey, good to see you. - Oh, hey. Yeah.
- How ya doin'? How's it goin'? - Oh.
Hey. Wait a minute, hold on now, which one is which here?
Same hairdresser. Hi, I'm Claudia.
Hey. Okay, we'll do that. Hi. Claudia.
Well, we gotta work on that shake, don't we?
[laughs] Dad, I hope you don't mind
but I've been raving about you to everyone.
Oh, yeah?
She's been telling us all about how you singlehandedly
nailed Bernie Kerik?
Oh yeah, that was fun.
The grand exalted Commissioner of Police
for the great City of New York.
No one knew what a corrupt loser he was
until I clued in the FBI. Had him thrown in jail.
He was so close to becoming Secretary of Homeland Security.
Our national security would have been in that liar's hands
if it weren't for Dad.
I mean, it says here that Bernie Kerik stepped down
from Secretary of Homeland Security
because he once hired an undocumented nanny.
I mean, that's not exactly corruption.
Claudia, are you questioning my dad?
Shh, no, no listen, she has every right to question
anything and anyone she wants.
Fact of the matter is I was a victim of conspiracy against me.
I was unjustly accused of defying a custody order.
- I defied nothing. - Nope.
Tal's mother, my ex-wife, genius of light that she is,
wanted to keep her away from me.
It's called parental alienation. She's a monster.
Yeah. So, she teams up with none other than Bernie Kerik.
And then they had me put in prison.
- Mm-hmm. - Sorry, I was just asking.
Listen, you ask. Ask anything you want.
I'm an open book here. And you kids,
if you've got anything you wanna talk about,
you can come to me. Tal's friends are my friends.
[chuckles]
So, guess what? I'm gonna cook you a steak dinner
like you've never seen it. I'm talking like three inches thick.
There's a butcher in Bronxville.
[laughs] Go ahead.
Get anything you want, all right?
And you probably don't have a car.
I didn't let go of my driver. You can take the limo and...
- Limo? - There's a limo?
That, they're excited about. [laughs]
Thanks again for having me. It's been an absolute pleasure.
And um, what's next for you, sir?
A shower. [all laugh]
- I'll show you where it is. - Thanks.
And what I should've been doing for the last two years
and that's taking care of my baby girl. Thanks a lot.
- Thanks for dinner. - No, thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
And that's what I do.
So, I was part of developing Quest for Potential
with a philosopher buddy of mine.
I'm gonna demonstrate it for you.
But first we're gonna maybe check it out, right, Claudia?
Make sure it's the real thing? [all chuckle]
So uh, Santos, you and I were talking privately.
- May I share with everyone? - Yeah, no... go for it.
Okay. So, we were talking about your father.
What's his name?
Uh... Santos. Senior.
- [all laugh] - Seriously?
Yes.
Santos, how are you supposed to self-define
and self-realize if, if you don't even have your own name?
Geez.
Okay, little Santos, what do you feel about big Santos?
Uh, I don't know. He's tried his best, I suppose.
Oh, my God what a bullshit answer that is. Okay.
Feel. How do you feel about him?
So, was he uh, ugly?
- No. - Was he stinky?
- No. - Was he short? Was he fat?
- Was he bald like me? - No. No, it's--
- Oh, what, what is it? - No, it's me.
- Okay. - Me.
Um, I'm the one who stinks.
Uh, in high school I was kind of a mess emotionally
and I...
I blame my parents for it. For my mental health stuff.
Yeah. That was bad, and this is good.
But it's not good enough. But I think there's more here, right?
There's more he's not telling us, that he's not,
you're not connecting. - Uh--
- Entirely with-- - No, I think I just said it.
I don't know. I don't think so.
I think you're holding back because like, you said it,
right, which is a very rational reaction and mind thought it
and your mouth spoke it but you didn't...
may I? - Yeah.
There's more you're hiding in here. You're blocked here.
What do you got from here? What are you holding back right here?
What are you holding back, Santos?
My parents sacrificed everything.
They lived through stuff you can't imagine
coming to this country and...
When things got a little tough for me. What did I do?
I tried to kill myself.
I didn't fight the way my dad did. His whole life.
I just ran away.
And... I'm afraid...
and I'm afraid this is how I'm always gonna be.
A coward, pathetic and...
[sobs]
It's all right. That's a good boy.
That's a good boy right there.
Right, that's Q4P working. [sobbing continues]
I can help all you kids with this.
You're all thrust into this world
with all this baggage and there's no guidance to help you
learn how to become adults. That's... it's...
Well, take advantage of me while I'm here.
I'll be happy to help any way I can.
Are you staying much longer?
Uh...
I'll be moving into the city pretty soon.
All right, reveille, 0600, that's 6 a.m. to you civilians.
Oh, come here. Oh.
- Good night, Dad. - Good night, baby.
Hey, uh Larry, I uh, I wanted to take you up on the offer,
you know, to talk.
- Yeah, sure, anytime Dan. - Yeah, okay, yeah.
- All right, have a seat. - Yeah, sounds good.
Um, I'm just gonna tidy my room up a bit.
- All right. You got it. - Thank you.
Perfect.
[tender music plays]
[Isabella sobbing]
Izzy?
Hey. Can I come in?
You all right?
[exhales]
You are making a pretty big assumption right now.
No, I just...
Spit it out. You wanna say something, say it.
Nothing. I'm half asleep over here.
[pills rattle]
You're not a very good liar.
Hmm. Why, are you an expert?
[door clicks open]
- Oh, morning honey boy. - Morning, honey girl.
Mr. Gilman, it's bizarre and disturbing.
Mm-hmm. And you're saying he's one of the students' dads?
Yes, he's the father of Talia Ray. And he's an ex-con.
Did I forget to mention that?
So, not only is he sleeping on the couch in my daughter's dorm,
he's also spending nights in one of the girls' bedrooms.
- What's her name again? - Isabella.
And Isabella's really sensitive,
so I just really worry about her.
Yeah. Claudia, have you seen
or heard anything that makes you think your dorm mate
is being abused?
Have you?
I'm not a hundred percent.
Well, I will certainly send this up the email chain
with a big red flag.
But you will block him from campus, right?
Uh... I do appreciate your very natural concern
but parents are allowed to visit their kids on campus
and the students are legally the age of consent.
So, unless there's a criminal complaint, my hands are tied.
Well, I hope you're locking your door at night
so he doesn't try anything funny with you.
Yeah, but it's not me I'm worried about, Mom.
Ah, okay. Well, let's go have some lunch.
You wanna go to the pub, the cafeteria, Bronxville?
- Show me your haunts. - Mom, I told you on the phone,
I've got a class. And I can't miss it.
I thought you could play hooky with your mom.
I know, but the prof is giving us a test, so.
All right, well let me walk you to class anyway.
Hey. What's going on with you?
Is there something else you wanna tell me about, love?
It's just this weirdness with Larry.
I mean, it's like he's the life of the party.
Everybody loves him. And I don't know how I can avoid him
without losing all my friends.
I felt like I was finally finding my people.
You are an amazing young woman
at one of the best colleges in the United States, okay?
So, stay positive and go ace that test.
Okay.
[chill music plays]
[girls giggling in background]
[Larry]: Right now, from this position.
I can take 'em to the left. [Dan]: Yeah.
[Larry]: I can take 'em to the right,
I can take 'em to the movies. [Talia]: Yeah!
[all chattering]
- Or I can take him down. - Take him down!
Take him down!
- Claudia, come! - Larry's teaching us
how to take down a bigger man than us.
There is no bigger man than you, Santos.
Show her the one that you showed me and Tal.
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Okay, yeah, okay.
We used this in the Marines. It's based on hapkido.
So, uh, if a man puts his hands on you,
what you do is you grab him with that hand,
and grab around the thumb. And now,
when you twist there's nothing he can do.
She can take me down.
[all cheer]
One down! Finish him!
You call me fat?
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
- Claud! - What?
That was good though. That was really good. Good job, good job.
- Keep practicing. - Okay, okay, now.
[chattering]
All right, you win. Claudia, why do you hate me?
Oh, I don't hate you.
I've extracted intel out of terrorists, kid, okay?
I know when I'm being lied to.
It's just, it's strange and disturbing
for a 50-year-old man to be spending all night
in his daughter's best friend's room. It's... I...
It's what, perverted? It's gross? Is that it?
Okay, first of all, I sleep on Izzy's floor.
And second she...
Izzy shared with me some pretty devastating details
about sexual abuse she suffered in early childhood.
So, I figured she needed the attachment parenting
that she never got growing up.
- Oh, that's terrible. I-- - Right?
- I didn't know. - Yeah.
So, let's not let anyone know, okay?
Let's just keep this between you and me. Please?
- Of course. - Yeah.
So, could we just bury the hatchet, you and me? We good?
Yeah.
[Larry]: Look at that. Like butta.
Look at that heartstopper. [Claudia chuckles awkwardly]
What is it?
Yeah, you're like, anxious all the time.
Even now. What's goin' on?
It's like you're carrying this heavy secret around with ya.
I guess I just worry a lot.
You know, I don't feel very confident,
you know, as an adult.
No, I think... I think it's something else.
I think... you wanna know how I know?
'Cause you, you've been blocking me. Mentally.
And you're not eatin'.
Yeah, you know, I think I changed my mind.
I can get it to go, I'll take it home,
I'll share it with everybody. It could feed us for a week.
Come on. Thank you for treating me.
What are you talking? Do me a favor,
pick up your knife and fork.
I really don't know.
Well, just one bite. Just grab your fork,
grab your knife. Do what normal people do.
Put that thing in your mouth.
Do it. Just do it. Just do it. Just chew.
And there it is, and the shoulders drop. Am I wrong?
I wanna get back to what we were talking about,
these crappy feelings you were having.
Stems from early childhood trauma. I can guarantee it.
I mean, I don't remember anything too traumatic.
Yeah, all right that is uh,
that is classic suppressed memory syndrome. CSMS.
In order to confront it you gotta really dig down.
Tell me what comes up.
- Just come on. Tell me. - I've... I don't know.
- You do know, just dig deep. - No.
Trust me on this. This is, come on,
this is the meat right here we're goin' for, all right?
Chew, chew, chew, and now spit it out.
My dead sister.
Okay, okay. But first thing, my condolences.
I'm sorry to hear about that, but what about her?
- Um... - Spit it out.
- Spit out the rest. Come on. - My parents had a baby.
- Okay. - And she died.
She was a stillborn. And when I came along years later,
I... I was never her. You know? I...
It's like they transferred their heartbreak on to me.
Like, they'd never see me. They'd just see her.
But they never gave you the attention you deserved. Right?
See? I think you just had a breakthrough.
[teary inhale]
I'm proud of ya.
- You know what we should do? - Hmm.
You should come and stay with Tal and me in the city.
We've got an apartment in the Upper East Side for the summer.
Your friends are coming. They're coming up there.
They're staying there rent free.
We're gonna keep workin' on all the great work that we're doing.
You could work on this. I mean, we just, you know,
tip of the iceberg here, but we're not done.
But I'm tellin' you.
I can't. Larry, thank you, but...
I think I need to go home and work this out with my parents.
I mean, I owe them that.
Well, I think that they will gaslight you.
I think you will tell them the truth
and they will say you are overreacting.
As you said, they live nearby, right? Close.
I'm just sayin'.
- [Claudia laughs] - So, are you dating someone?
- Oh. - Why would you ask that?
I don't know, you've just been, you know, MIA
and we haven't seen you in a while.
- Yeah, well-- - I thought maybe...
I've been really busy with exams. And um, you know,
actually I've been in therapy.
Therapy? Wow.
Well, you haven't been asking for any extra allowance
or anything. - I haven't been paying for it.
- Oh. - How does that work?
Is some psych student messing with your head?
[chuckles]
Uh, actually, Larry's been helping me.
Larry?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah. - Larry Ray?
Is he still living with you kids at the dorm?
Yeah, he um... you know, he cooks us healthy dinners.
- He teaches us to be responsible. - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What's going on with Isabella?
Oh, well it turns out with Isabella
that we'd actually completely misread it, Mom.
And he was actually helping her through a really tough time.
And he's been helping me, you know.
I've been remembering a lot of traumatic things
from my childhood and things that are really hard for me
to talk to you about.
Okay, sweetie, this man's a criminal.
He's my best friend, Dad.
If you feel that your childhood
was anything close to traumatic,
I would say that's a bit of an overreaction.
Wouldn't you?
[tense music plays]
You know what? I'll just um...
You were right about my parents. I tried--
Come on. Come on, forget about them.
We're here for you. We love ya. Trauma and all.
All right, who owes me five bucks?
It's 0600. I wanna see some crunches!
Come on, good mornin'! Top o' the mornin' to ya!
You don't build your core strength,
you are not gonna be battle ready.
All right, I wanna see 200. Who's gonna give me 200?
- We will! - Come on, you wusses,
- I can't hear ya. Who's gonna? - We will!
- Who's gonna give me more? - We will!
- Who wants to grow the hell up? - We do!
Have I called you wusses already this morning?
[laughing]: Yes.
All right, hold, hold on a minute. Break it down.
Dan, what's wrong?
[crying] Um...
Nothing. No, I'm sorry.
Well, looks like Dan
is having a bit of a personal issue, huh?
[music turns off]
Tal, Iz, and uh, Claud, give Dan a hug.
Oh, come here. It's okay. [sobs]
Does it feel disgusting hugging Dan?
- No. - No.
No? You sure? 'Cause he's kinda sweaty there.
I'm just wondering. [girls giggling]
Nice. Dan, how's it feel having all those ladies
pressing up against your body like that?
Um, it feels nice, I guess. [girls giggle]
Yeah? You gettin'... you gettin' aroused there, big guy?
It's a possibility. [girls giggle]
Well, there ya go.
And you said you were having trouble with uh...
your sexual orientation.
Never use tears to get outta my exercise regimen, son.
Claudia, I think you should have sex with Dan.
- Are you serious? - Yeah, I'm serious.
What did you said? You said you thought you were unattractive?
Right? What was that, what was that...
you said you were feeling insecure,
but there was a word you used to get out, to... be called...
Oompa Loompa. [chuckles]
Remember?
Well, how else do you think
you're gonna get over your insecurities?
You know, loosen up?
Sex is liberating. It's freeing.
[tense music plays]
What? Get outta your heads, get into your bodies.
[lips smacking]
[crunches food]
[pills rattle]
[inhales]
Hi, I'm Claudia.
Hey, I'm uh, Santos' sister, Felicia.
Larry invited me to come stay for a while.
Does Santos know you're here?
Yeah. He introduced Larry to me a while ago
and we've been dating.
Oh, wow.
Online and on the phone, but yeah.
Buenas dias, hermanita.
I used to be his go-to when he was feeling upset.
Remember that, bonito? Hmm? I'd have to talk you off the ledge.
Well, I take full credit for my superstar hermanita
for her PhD in psychiatry.
[speaks Spanish] [laughs]
You guys are so cute.
Anyway, I'm so grateful he's getting help from Larry now.
Are you gonna be staying here for long or?
Yeah. Uh, I don't feel safe in L.A.
I'm putting my career on hold for a while.
Oh, really?
I started getting followed recently in L.A.
Spied on.
When I was...
I mean, anyone in Larry's orbit is at risk of being targeted.
I started receiving death threats.
Wow. Oh, are you serious? You gotta be kidding.
No. Paranoia's through the roof.
Can't focus at work, I can't... I can't sleep.
Well, who would it be? Do you think it would be Bernie Kerik
or Larry's ex-wife who would be targeting?
I don't know.
But Larry is the only person who can protect us.
My ears are burning. You met my future wife, Felicia.
- Hi, bunny. - Oh, I missed that curly hair.
Look at that. I gotta borrow some of that. Oh, my God.
So, I guess we better make room for Izzy out here, huh?
Nah, Izzy's fine where she is.
But there's only one bed in there.
We'll all share the bed.
Until Isabella's feeling ready to detach from Lar,
I'm not going to get in the way of her healing.
I told ya, she has a dirty mind.
No, I don't.
I'm working on it.
[knock on door]
Zhang, the man! You're here for the rent, I assume?
Pink.
Yep, and all on my dime. You'll love it when I'm done.
You're two months behind, Larry.
Why are you putting money into this?
All right, don't get your knickers in a knot. Geez.
You're gonna get your money.
All right, now there's $1,000 of it. And the rest--
Morning. Just getting started, Lar.
Morning, that's...
- You're short. - You're short, okay?
Now, listen, I got some stuff I gotta move around.
I'm gonna switch some accounts
and you'll get it as soon as we can.
- You got something on your back. - Tomorrow, Larry.
I'll be here at seven p.m. sharp. Got it?
Yeah, I got it. Your words were spoken. Heard 'em.
- Morning. - Morning.
What the hell is this?
- Uh-- - What is that?
- I, I, I'm sorry. - Get down here.
- That was just an accident. - Get down.
There is no such thing as accidents.
- How many times I gotta tell ya? - I know.
What I gotta do to get that into your head?
Felicia, see what's happening with your brother here?
He's doing it again. I don't even know where to start!
- Okay, explain? - He sabotages everything!
My belongings and my apartment. How? Tell her how.
[stammers] I'll tell her how.
By spilling paint in my hallway! Right there.
Can you... [stammers]
Do I have permission to deal with him in a Q4P kinda way?
- Of course, Larry, I trust you. - Okay, fine.
Instead of jumping out the window and killin' himself,
robbin' us all of his precious life.
Santos is just gonna sabotage stuff, okay?
You all in agreement with that? He's gonna sabotage your things.
That's what you're gonna do, isn't it? Isn't it?
[stammers] Right, that's right.
I, I'm sorry. I'm, I'm--
You're flinchin'. Right?
But you still haven't learned how not to flinch.
Okay, so we're gonna do this, right?
- Okay. - We're gonna do this.
- Yeah. - Okay, look me in the eye.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Why did you spill... [screams]
He's flinchin'. Why'd you spill that expensive paint?
Uh, I think this time it was truly just an accident, Larry.
No such things... [screams]
...as accidents! Come on, man!
Listen, it's just unresolved trauma, kid.
- Yeah. - You understand?
- Mm-hmm. - Which manifests itself into...
into certain behaviors. So, my question to you is,
what is your behavior, Santos?
Uh, I have destructive behavior
because I blame everyone else for me being a coward.
My parents and my upbringing, most of all.
And I don't have the guts to take accountability for--
- Here it is. - ...for my own actions.
- Yes, my man! All right! - Yeah.
God damn, that's right! You gettin' this?
- This is gold. - Yes.
Is that not right there, Felicia? Is that right?
- Is that accurate? - Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
This is my home, which is your home.
- Thank you. - Why? 'Cause you are surrounded
with people who love you. - I know.
I proud of ya. Relax. All right.
So, what Santos is gonna do right now
is he's gonna make a list. He's gonna email me a list
of all the things that he's broken, that he's ruined,
so I have a record to know exactly
what his repairs need to be.
Got it, yeah, you're addressing the intentional
manifestation of childhood trauma.
Oh, my God, she's good. We got a doctor in the house,
I tell ya. Who wants waffles?
I do! And thank you so much
for pushing me even further, Larry.
No, listen, I got you, kid. I got ya.
- That's it. - Look at that,
that's a professional operation right there.
Anytime, Larry.
Well, thank you, Joe.
[clears throat]
And thank you for uh, for the deal you gave me
on the sander there.
You can pay my boss with a credit card. Good?
Credit card? Yeah, I've heard of 'em.
Bet they heard of you.
[annoyed exhale]
C'mere.
- Go after him. - What?
Go after him. You should catch up to him.
- And say what? - And do, listen to me.
This is a teachable moment here, Claud.
- What would I even say? - Say...
- Hey. - How's it goin', buddy?
Nah, you just give the guy a BJ.
- Out on the street? - No, dummy, in his truck.
- But-- - Just proposition the guy.
Look, call me. I'll talk you through it.
- Okay? - Mm-hmm.
And you're still standing here. Go, go, go, go.
[phone rings] Hi, Larry.
Hey, Claudia.
Um... hi, Joe. Uh, I have Larry on the phone.
- Joe, you there? - Uh, yeah, I'm here.
Uh, so Claudia's probably acting uh...
kinda shy and bizarre right now, right?
Yeah, pretty much.
Uh, Claudia,
so, this ain't brain surgery. You, you uh...
you just climb in the truck and unzip Joe's pants.
This was all Claudia's idea, by the way, Joe.
- Um, may I? - Uh yeah, you can.
Okay, now once the prince is ready,
the king will tell you what to do with him.
Am I right, Joe?
Uh, yeah.
[Joe breathing heavily]
[breathing nervously]
Thank you.
Um, yeah, yeah. Bye.
[engine starts]
How ya doin', Claudia?
Um, I'm not sure I did a good job.
Did he finish?
Yeah.
You did a good job.
So, why do I feel so gross?
'Cause you're pushing past your comfort zone.
And I'm proud of you.
Come on now.
I wanna see an improvement in your lean body mass.
I'm looking at 90 % here. Listen...
[students laugh] You guys...
have been sitting on the train too long.
School and back. You're getting fat.
[knock on door]
Hold on, don't unclench.
[knocking continues] Hold that position.
Course it's you knocking that loud. Zhang I can't, all right,
I'm gonna get to you tomorrow, okay?
Pay the rent.
What if I can't pay the rent?
Then get an attorney.
That is some latent aggression you're showing.
I can help you with that. If I wanted to.
What are you doin'? Get outta there.
No, no, come on. That's enough of that.
All right, gather round. Sit down.
Got new lesson for ya. [exhales]
It's a life lesson you gotta carry with you.
It's gonna be the most important thing you're gonna ever learn.
It's about personal responsibility, okay?
I'm gonna need you to make an itemized list, okay,
of all the things that you have broken in this apartment.
Like the email that Santos made.
Exactly. Exactly. Thank you. So on point.
You feelin' it? You understand what's happenin'?
So, just like the list that Santos and Felicia...
- ow, that was, she's-- - She got you.
Seriously? This girl packs a punch.
Um, just like the list that they made, um,
but Claudia, I'm gonna start with you, okay?
- Uh, the oven door. - Mm-hmm.
...is worth about like, 800 bucks in parts.
- Oh, okay. - Okay?
No, Larry, that door was like
that way before Claudia even cooked that dinner.
No, thank you, Dan. Okay?
You worry about your own willful damage to my valuable things.
Uh, but right now I got it.
If your student loans can't pay for it, or your jobs, right,
I'm gonna need you to go to your parents.
I will pay for the oven door, Larry. Of course.
Claudia, thank you. I knew I could rely on you
to do the right thing.
I just want you to know, you are all 100 % worth it.
I could kick you outta here any time
and have much more peace and quiet.
God, you're noisy, you're stinky.
[students laugh] Gosh.
I don't know, that doesn't smell bad to me.
I didn't wanna look at him when I said it but, stinky.
Santos. [all laugh]
All right? Let's put it all in.
Come on, all in. All in, huh?
Danimal, put your paws in there. Come on.
- Come on, Dan. - Paws in there.
- Yeah, yeah. - Q4...
[all]: P!
- You got everything? - Yeah, I think so.
- Oh, don't be a stranger, okay? - Yeah.
We wanna see you more often. Come to just, you know,
wash your clothes or, I don't know, just to say hi.
Yeah, I know. But you'll be happy to know
that I'm feeling much stronger.
Larry's got us doing all these exercises.
And I've even been journaling.
- Wow. Proud of you. - That's... that's great.
- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you know, and Larry just pays for everything
so I really wanted to contribute.
Of course. So, we'll see you soon, yeah?
- Mm-hmm. - Okay?
- Okay. - Bye, guys.
- Love you. - Love you. Bye!
I don't know.
They're giving me $5,000, which is more than I owe you!
Yeah, that's great, kid. I really uh, yeah,
I appreciate uh, all the hard work you're puttin' in.
Well, it's gonna be in my account tomorrow
and it feels so good to pay you back
after everything you've done for me.
Yeah, Santos, you've really stepped up.
This, I mean, you did good. Very impressive.
Thank you. Huh? Look at that. Ain't that somethin'?
Well, Felicia helped me convince our parents
that we needed it.
Of course you had something to do with this
'cause you are such an angel. Thank you. Thank you both so...
[intercom buzzes]
...much. Really, it's amazing.
Yeah?
Uh, there's a man called Gordon Ray here to see ya?
Uh, send him up.
Uh, my uh... my stepdad's comin' up.
Don't tell me you didn't wish this day would come, Lawrence.
I've always wanted what's best for you.
And knowing my mother
and I know you didn't marry the best woman in the world.
So, I have your support then?
Of course. Yeah.
But you gotta know she... she's not gonna divorce you.
She is gonna take you for everything you got, sir.
Well, I'm homeless.
What?
And she said if I tried to divorce her,
she'll fight tooth and nail to keep
the North Carolina property.
Uh, okay...
No. No, not that.
That is the only...
only place that I consider home.
You made that place a safe space for me, okay?
And I'm not gonna let her do that.
You were kind and that's why I took his last name.
And I'm proud of it.
All right, so we gotta figure out how to make sure this woman
does not get her hands on anything of value.
- Value? - Yeah.
That whole property's gone to pot.
Especially since I've had my heart attacks.
What? What are you talking about?
Doctors told me if I have one more heart attack,
it'd be my last.
Okay.
[exhales]
[phone buzzes] What's this now?
- Oh, my God. - What?
- Answer it. - No, I'm not gonna answer it.
Is that her? Is that her?!
- Answer it. - Why is she calling me here?
- Answer it. - What, I'm not answering it!
Answer it!
Yes, sir. Dad.
Tell your father to get down here, now!
Get away from here! You gotta leave me alone!
How the hell did she call me? Why, what did you do?
What did you do? How does she know that I'm here?
- Dad, it's okay, she can-- - I'm sorry, Lawrence.
She must have snooped on my phone.
She can't get up here. It's okay.
She can't get up here today. Did any...
I haven't spoken to her in 23 years. What's she doing here?!
Dad, it's okay.
It's not okay. What are you talking about okay?
She's here and she's here! Which means soon she'll be...
ah, for the love of God!
[intercom buzzes]
Listen, you psycho bitch, get the hell off my property!
There's a woman here that claims to be your mother.
She wants to come up.
Yeah, well, you tell her she can't come up, all right?
Tell her to get the hell away from me!
[woman]: You've always been a disappointment.
[breathing nervously] All right, you...
[exhales then sobs]
[slapping face, grunts]
- Dad. - You okay?
Stop it. Leave me alone.
All right, I got it. We're good, we're good.
You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna fix, ugh,
we're gonna fix it. C'mere. C'mere, guys. C'mere.
Kids, here. You're gonna help us out, all right?
We're gonna help you, you and me, we're gonna show...
we're gonna show the courts that you and your stepson
fixed this place up.
That it's something that she can't get her hands on.
You understand what I'm saying? And these kids,
these amazing kids, they're gonna help us, right?
You're gonna... you're gonna look after my dad.
- Promise me you're gonna look... - Yeah.
Okay. The rest of us we're gonna go down to North Carolina.
You ever been? And what we're gonna do is we're gonna...
we're gonna bust our asses 'cause we're good at it.
You see these tools? We're builders.
And we're gonna build the crap outta this house.
I'm tellin' ya. Whew. So... we're gonna...
[sobbing]
[gravel crunching]
Claudia. Claudia, what are you doin'?
What are you doin'? Use a wheelbarrow.
Ah, sorry, I'm not an idiot, I'm just a city girl.
Well, listen, city girl,
your job ain't done 'til the trench is filled.
- Okay. - All the way up.
I just want you to know that I might not be able
to get the trench filled by dinner time.
Did you not volunteer to come here?
- Yeah. - Did you not offer
to help my stepfather and me to fix this place up?
- Yes. - Okay then, if we do not...
do this job properly. - Hey.
Then the only parent that cared about me
is gonna have a fatal heart attack!
Mm-hmm, yes, I do. I am sorry.
- I did not mean to complain. - I know. Come here.
- Listen, you got this. - Mm-hmm.
All right? And the key is you... look at Felicia.
She's... she understands that the pride that you take
in achieving this gives you such a sense of accomplishment,
and that's what we're trying to get here.
That is the whole point that is Q4P!
[pills rattling]
[pills clatter to ground]
Felicia, you done?
Yes.
All right, you can go back to your porch.
Where's she going?
- She's sleeping on the porch. - Why?
Because that's what she thinks is best for her right now.
Are you done?
All right, then get inside.
Now, look, careful, all right? Look at this. You--
- Oh, my God, Larry. - Look at that.
You should go to the doctor.
The stress of making sure this place is perfect
is wreaking havoc on my immune system.
Well, I'll try harder tomorrow. I will.
Good, 'cause I need you to understand how important it is
that we make this place perfect.
If we don't fix this, Gordon's gonna lose it all
in the divorce, and then my sick, selfish mother,
she's gonna win and we can't let that happen.
And I need to know you understand that.
- I do! - No, you don't understand.
That woman was a monster! She used to put poison in my food
and she used to stay up all night
and laugh at me while I was vomiting.
- All right? You understand that? - I, I understand.
We will not let her win, Larry! I promise!
- You got that right! - Yeah!
[sniffling inhale]
They want me to set up a meeting with Giuliani.
So, I do. He's late for the meeting.
Why? Wants to go to Radio City Music Hall
and meet the Rockettes. Hmm.
So, why does she wanna stay outside?
Dad! Dad, Dad, Dad, in the garage.
What? What, yeah?
In the garage the... I was parking the car
and I got out and there was a massive spider.
Look. Look! Look!
That's... that's a Sydney Weaver spider.
That's the worst of the worst kid. That's...
Dad. The rash on your arms. Could be spider bites.
I mean, how poisonous are these things?
Oh, just... Isabella!
C'mere! Wake up Felicia!
There is a giant spider in the garage.
I need you to go get it and I need you to kill it.
You need to crush that thing. Find it. Show 'em.
[footsteps thud away quickly]
We've looked under everything.
Yeah, maybe it made its home somewhere else, hey?
Maybe it escaped, Lar?
How'd it get in here in the first place
is what I need to know.
[mysterious music plays]
Claudia, my rash didn't erupt until you arrived.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Claudia, is there something you wanna confess to me?
Larry, are you thinking that I brought it here from New York?
That I could bring a deadly spider--
Did my mother come to see you, Claudia?
No. I stayed at my parents' place.
Claudia, did you stay at our place ever
while Grandpa Ray was there?
Um... yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the last night. I stayed with...
Santos because he wasn't feeling well.
I mean, so you were there with Gordon
and you were with Santos. And who else?
- No one. - No, who else was there?
No one. It was just the three of us.
I can't imagine the kind of person you've become
if you are lying to me right now.
Make sure the dirt to rock ratio is right.
You got more rock than you got dirt! Use more dirt!
You got too much dirt, you need...
I mean, too much rock! You need more--
You have got to be kidding me. [engine sputtering out]
- I am so sorry, Larry. - Are you kidding me?
I'm so sorry, I was just shovel--
Now, don't... this arm was going like this. Why?
'Cause it's picking up dirt!
What are you doin' with the wheelbarrow?
No, I was just shoveling the dirt!
I don't need you to shovel! No one needs you to shovel!
- That's a giant shovel! - I'm so sorry!
It was an accident!
What did... what did you just say?
- It was just an accident. - What did you just say?
You said the word? [groans]
Accident? That was an accident!
Ah, listen. Just relax, would ya?
First she brings my mother's hate down here and then she...
she destroys the most expensive piece of equipment!
- Would you go after her? - Yes!
- What are you doin'? - Got it!
Standin' there. Go! Go! I'll get my car.
I'll cut her off in a minute.
[Felicia sobs] All right.
[grunts]
[panting]
[Larry]: Claudia! [gasps]
Claudia, quit runnin'!
[Isabella]: Claudia, stop!
Hi, Claud.
He's up there. If we go now we can outrun him.
Claud, we're not going to run.
It's like he's lost his mind, Izzy.
I mean, he's paranoid, he's abusive.
He's not abusive.
He pushed me
and said horrible, vicious things to me.
Well, you destroyed a very, very expensive
piece of heavy machinery. Okay?
He overreacted, yeah, but he's not abusive.
I just, I can't believe you're defending him.
The way he's treating Felicia like she's a dog.
You're feeling sorry for Felicia?
She's been impossible to deal with down here.
I just can't. I can't. I wanna go home.
[footsteps approaching]
Then go! You're all free. Everyone is free to go!
What... what is home? Claud, what is it? Where is it?
Who is home? You think it's your parents?
You think... that is who you are running from.
The Claudia they knew, she doesn't exist anymore.
This Claudia, this one right here, she is loved.
She's adored. And she is treasured by a real family.
I was cruel today.
I admit it. I'm only human.
Always had your back. Question is, who's got my back?
Thing about loyalty. If loyalty is not shared equally,
you know, then you should go.
And frankly, I want you to go because I love you too much.
And it hurts too much.
[crying]: I don't wanna go.
[sobs]
Hello. Anybody home? We're back!
- We're here. - Surprise!
- Oh, geez. Oh. - Welcome home.
- Aw, thanks. - I made some canapes.
It has some... a little mint on top. I know you like mint.
So, what did Gordon think of the work you did on the place?
Ah, he was real grateful.
- Yeah? - Yeah, I mean, geez, we...
we pulled off a miracle, didn't we?
Yeah, place looks amazing.
All right, where's Dan?
Um... uh, sorry, Larry.
Dan decided to go a couple weeks ago.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Go where?
I think he went back to his parents.
Oh.
Why would he do that?
I think he had a change of heart
about being part of your... our family.
Will you sit down there with the kids for a minute?
Thanks a lot.
So, yeah, um... c'mere. Sorry.
Did Dan talk to Claudia while she was down there?
They... may have kept in touch.
- Yeah? - I don't know.
Hey, Tal, can I talk to you in the bedroom for a minute?
- Yeah. - Thanks.
- What? What is it? - I think Claudia got to Dan.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Tainted his opinion of me. - No way.
Yeah way.
And I thought that you two worked things out
after she ran away? - Listen to me.
You keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
She is only pretending to be loyal.
She owes me a lot of money for the Bobcat that she broke.
Right? She takes me down, she doesn't have to pay.
This is what I want you to do. I want you to take her out.
I want you to take her for a drink.
I want you to get her talkin', okay?
And then if she's hidin' somethin', which I know she is.
You will find it. You will hear it.
Yeah.
And you will let me know. Okay?
- For sure. - Canapes.
Let's do it.
[snoring]
Larry! Larry! Talia's sick!
Tal, no. Where's Tal?
I don't know, I just brought her home and we were at the bar
and she ordered a lot of wine and she got very drunk.
Where's my baby girl?
She's in the bathroom. She's vomiting.
She's vomiting? Why is she vomiting? What'd you do to her?
Did you roofie her?
You're the only one I told my mother poisoned me!
I wouldn't do it!
[foot tapping quickly]
Again.
I went into the bar and I ordered a rum and Coke.
And then Talia came in and she ordered a red wine.
And at what point did you decide to harm Tal?
What? I wouldn't harm Talia. What... ow!
Don't use that tone with me. I'll tell you why.
Because you owe me 100 grand!
I didn't know it was that much.
That is what I owe the rental company! Because of you, Claud!
And I know what your plan is. You poison Tal,
you poison me, then you don't have to pay us back!
That's what you're doin'! I'm not dumb!
[sinister music plays]
You gotta choose, Claudia.
You gotta confess to what you did.
Come clean.
Or I call my lawyer and I sue you and your parents
for the 100 grand you owe me!
[sleepy]: Can you just tell me what to say
and how to say it, Larry?
Because I keep trying and I keep getting it wrong.
Hey, wake up! Who was it who got to ya?
My ex? My mother?
Huh, who you in cahoots with?
Kerik?
Are you in bed with those vicious bastards?
You know you done something morally wrong.
Your mind has chosen to forget.
So, I'm giving you the chance to come clean. And remember...
[inhales]
Yeah, I, I do remember now.
I remember that I did wanna hurt you and Talia.
Okay. Now we are getting somewhere.
How did you hurt me and Talia?
I poisoned you. I got lots of different harmful substances
and I...
I used microdoses of mercury poisoning and I used rat poison.
And I... it's how much attention I need. It's my fault.
Uh-huh.
You're recording this, right? Don't see my hammer.
Who put you up to it?
Your mom. And... and Talia's mom.
- Uh-huh. - And Bernie Kerik.
Your mom gave me the spider. And I brought it to North Carolina
so that you could be poisoned.
More than I expected, but that's good.
We're finally gettin' the truth, huh? How's it feel?
To speak truth?
It feels good.
Right? Listen, you did good.
You did good, Claudia. C'mere. Oh, God. Right there.
[Larry chuckles]
So, we finally get to meet the Larry Ray.
To what do we owe the honor?
Well, Claudia asked me to come here today to speak for her.
Because Claudia can't speak for herself?
Well no, because Claudia owes me a lot of money.
And she's having trouble with confrontation.
Does she?
It's really serious this time, Dad.
I broke a really important piece of heavy machinery.
I doubt that's true.
So, you've come to gouge us for more money. That's it?
- Gouge? - Well, we don't have it.
I'm sure Claudia's told you that her mother and I
are getting a divorce so, all our money is...
I haven't told her that yet.
- I haven't told her that. - I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Claudia, I love you, but if I'm in the presence of this man
for another minute, I don't know what I'm gonna do. You creep.
I thought that you guys were having a separation?
That you were seeing a counselor?
Claudia, just... we've been struggling and I'm just...
I'm sorry, God dammit, get your hands off of her.
May I tell you something? Claudia suffers from harm OCD.
Okay? Which means she obsessively has to harm people.
She has been poisoning my daughter and me.
Oh, God! What? That can't be true.
- She confessed to it. - Yes, it's true.
- I don't believe you. - It's true.
He's making this up. He's... he's feeding you lies!
I know about your stillborn.
And how Claudia, your living daughter, who is right here,
could never live up--
You are a horrible, horrible man.
- ...into your dead baby. - Come on.
Claudia. Claudia, no! Don't listen to him.
Hey, hey! What's going on here?
I'm not dragging here away.
Claudia. Claudia, don't listen to him.
Am I dragging your daughter away?
- Claudia, please listen to us. - Is she coming on her own
volition? I think so. - Claudia, please don't.
Please don't go.
[ominous music plays]
Oh, God.
[sobbing]
What is happening?
[door opens]
[sobbing]
I shouldn't have done it. I ruined everything.
What's that, huh?
Did you take these?
You take all of these?
You kidding me? Are you all right? Come on!
- [Larry]: No, no. - I am so sorry.
- [sobbing] - No, no, no. Shh.
For being a huge burden on you.
- Oh no, listen to me. - And on everybody.
Listen to me. You, you... are a precious human soul.
And you've never been a burden.
Not to me, not... any... I'll be right back.
Hi, hi, we're here to see Claudia Drury.
- Claudia Drury, oh um-- - I'm sorry, nurse,
these people are not allowed into Claudia Drury's room.
What?
- Oh, your names? - Christian and Tom Drury.
Did this man tell you that we cannot see our own daughter?
No, ma'am, it was your daughter
who signed the do not admit.
What? I'd like to see that, please.
Take a look all you want.
There is no way that she signed this
without being coerced. - I'm sorry.
But it is a patient's legal right to refuse visitors.
If you would've spent a little more time
focusing on your daughter instead of your marital issues--
What?
...Claudia wouldn't be here right now.
- How dare you? - I wanna see your supervisor.
[door opens] Everything okay?
Made damn sure that it was.
I don't wanna be like this anymore, Larry.
I need to change.
I know what you need.
You need a direction.
And... you need a focus.
You need to take back the power
that the world's taken away from you.
And you need to be in the driver's seat.
[giggles] Of your own life again,
'cause we're goin' up, kid. [giggles]
We're goin' up!
[giggling]
Psst, psst, psst.
How ya feeling, champ?
Hmm, still a bit fragile but better.
Good.
Is that my journal?
- What journal? - That one.
Oh, this one here? Yeah. Um, oh you mean your senior journal.
Yeah.
Which means it's your journal time, isn't it?
- My turn? - Yeah, move over, move over.
All right, c'mere, c'mere. Okay, okay.
Oh, this was that thing you wrote when you met that guy.
- Oh. - At that place.
- The one that, who-- - With the thing.
He liked rope play?
I believe it's called a tie-up.
Is it not called a tie-up?
Well, once upon a tie-up...
"It was amazing. I felt opened up in this completely new way
like, oh wow, this is who I am. And it was even better
because he was a stranger."
I mean, you clearly felt more like,
free during this encounter than most.
Yeah, it was a wild night.
Yeah.
- [laughs] - What is this about, though?
We totally think you should get into escort.
[laughs]: What?
- [laughs]: I'm serious. - Seriously!
What like... like prostitution?
- Not prostitution. - No!
No, no, no, sex work.
Specifically BDSM sex work 'cause...
Just because I liked it once
doesn't mean that I'll like it again.
- Or for... money. - You sure about that?
- Huh, wait for it. - It gets better.
Wait for it. "I know this makes no sense
but having him completely take over,
having to surrender, made me feel more powerful.
But it was cathartic."
- I wrote that. - Yeah.
You did.
That was you. I mean, that was you.
You wrote that with... when no one was looking.
So, that means that was your truth.
[sinister beat]
Look, I know you hate yourself 'cause you harmed Tal.
I know you hate yourself 'cause you owe me a lot of money.
And I know you hate yourself
'cause your parents' marriage exploded.
But instead of being the basket case, you know,
why don't you flip that self-loathing into...
into self-empowerment?
'Cause you would crush it in the BDSM scene.
I'm tellin' ya. You scrubbed perfect, kid.
- You're the girl next door. - Mm-hmm.
Super clean cut. God. They'd pay a fortune for this.
I'm just sayin'. And you could get, you can go shopping
for outfits with Izzy, right? You can get outfits.
What else they have? They have like, props,
and they got toys. I'm just sayin', it'd be fun.
[knock on door]
- Fiona? - Greyson, right? Come on in.
[door closes]
[dark music plays]
I like what you're wearing.
Under the robe, I mean.
Take it off.
Could you show me what... show me what you'd like me to do?
Come over here, Fiona.
[exhales heavily]
There's our star player now. [clapping]
Well, you were generous with your time.
What are you... okay, what are you doing?
Put that... no, give it to me.
But I don't want your purse. Gimme the...
You don't hand money around like that.
Gotta be discreet. This is a class joint.
You ready for another one?
Right now?
Yeah, this guy's in town for one night.
He wanted something special, right? He wants--
He wants the service that costs eight grand.
[exhales]
So, after tonight I will owe you $14,000 less.
I believe that is the math, yeah.
Yes.
Right. Yeah.
I predict beautiful things, personally.
I mean I think, I think you got a hell of a season ahead of ya.
[knock on door]
No, I'm not gonna tell you where the chocolate chips are.
Because your mother will kill me, that's why.
Okay, they're in the breadbox. Oh, my gosh,
I can't believe I let that slip.
Okay, but only have ten though, okay? Okay, I gotta go.
I love you. Okay, bye. Uh, Fiona, sorry.
- It's okay. - Uh, if you're Fiona...
- I am. - Okay. I uh...
I thought I recognized you from your... from your picture.
You're early.
I am.
Um... do you wanna come on up?
Okay.
Sorry about the awkward meeting.
It's fine.
This is what you wear in your downtime?
Yeah, I can go change.
No. No, I like you dressed like this.
So, you're into punishment?
Actually I would uh, I would prefer if you took charge.
You know I'm a sub, right?
That's what your ad said, yeah.
But your photo on your website, something about your face,
I thought you might make an exception.
I have 175 employees.
I am the bossman all day, every day. It's too much power.
This is about balance.
I need...
radical surrender.
[whip snaps]
[exhales strongly]
[knock on door]
See you tomorrow, Uncle Bill.
[giggles] [whistling]
Bye.
Uh, Ms. Claudia Drury?
Yeah?
I'm here to perform a wellness check.
I'd like to come in and have a look around.
Sure, yeah.
Make sure you're not in any danger, alive and well.
Why?
I mean, how did you know I... I was here? Who sent you?
A concerned citizen came to our precinct.
Worried for your safety.
Was it my mom?
I can't tell you that but if you're missing your mom,
maybe you should call her. Or if you don't wanna call her,
then call me. Okay?
Sure.
Bye.
[heavy inhale and exhale]
It's not just this month. Look at this year versus last.
All right, she's slacked off before but what,
is she playing favorites here?
She giving discounts or something?
Okay well, okay, here's a guy. Yeah, oh my God.
He's been booking with her three times a week
for the last six months. Calls himself David.
And he's been one of her clients since the beginning.
How much is she charging David?
Three grand a pop. Everyone else is doing six to nine.
In prime time. In prime time!
Yeah, and he's booking overnights, too.
Oh. Overnight for three grand?
What, does he think he's her boyfriend or something?
When's the next appointment?
I'm in heels. I can't stand here all day.
He's ten minutes late.
Some boyfriend. Has he canceled?
She's coming down dressed to go out.
- Hi. - Hey.
Oh, now, where... where they...
what are they gonna do it in the park?
Follow her.
Oh, my God, he's hugging her.
So, he... he's hot for her.
It's not what it looks like. It looks like affection.
Ah, geez. Ah, geez.
What... what. Stay. I wanna hear what they're saying.
You stay with them!
I brought you something.
When did you have time to go shopping?
He's giving her a present in a little box.
What, is he proposing now?
Hmm, it's a crane.
It's your spirit animal.
It'll watch over you.
God knows I need it.
You know what? Actually, can we just change the subject?
- Yeah, to what? - Lunch is always a safe option.
Lar...
Oh God, that Larry sounds bad. What?
It's worse. He's taking her to lunch.
Are you... the L word? You... lunch?
[chuckles softly]
[pounding knock at door]
[ominous music plays]
All right. This David guy, is he your favorite?
What? No.
You're giving him a discounted rate, Claud.
The numbers don't lie.
What's this?
That was just... they're gifts.
They're just gifts from like a stockbroker um... Ryan.
- What's in the box? - They're just scissors.
Sci... scissors? That's a stupid gift.
Stupid scissors from stupid David?
Yeah, they're from David.
At least you're being honest.
Nothing gets by us. You understand that.
Honesty is imperative.
I am always honest with you, Larry. Always.
You're getting too close to this David guy.
And he's not paying enough!
You talk to him about me?
No, I don't tell him anything about you or my... I don't even,
he doesn't even know my real name, okay? No one does.
You are gonna dump this guy. You understand?
You are gonna dump him or I will put his name on your webpage.
I will D-O-double... I will dox him so hard.
No. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna...
I'm gonna go to the police. That's what I'm gonna do.
- No, Larry. Larry! - I'm going to the police.
I'm gonna tell 'em how you poisoned me and my daughter.
What. Listen, you know what I have?
I got a confession by you. That's what I got!
No, I will dump him! I will dump him!
- This may be on you. - He means nothing to me.
He does not mean anything to me! He means nothing to me!
[phone pings]
[sinister music plays]
- Oh, my God. Larry, please! - I swear to God.
Please!
If you do not start telling me the truth, I'm gonna...
Where the hell are the burgers?
They'll be here in a minute.
Larry, I was just with him because he loaned me money.
- [talking over each other] - Just shut up!
I have pictures of you two outside of your apartment, okay?
He wasn't on your schedule for that time,
so stop lying, Claudia! - All right! All right!
All right, I will tell you the truth. The truth is that...
the truth is, is that I just feel like you haven't been
paying enough attention to me. And I missed you.
And I just... I wanted to make you jealous or something.
And I wanted you to pay attention to me.
- I was just using-- - Lies! Lies! Lies!
You are lying to me right now! You're lying to me
and you're twisting logic. - No!
You are. That's... I know you've been feeding
your boyfriend bullshit about me!
No, I wouldn't.
Why, why? You are. You're trying to make me think
like I'm... what I'm like, some kinda criminal or something.
Let me tell you this. There's no way,
there's just no way. It's not happening. You understand?
I'm not going back to jail!
I know. I wouldn't want you to.
You gotta be taught a lesson.
That's it. You gotta be taught a lesson.
No. No, no! Larry, please, don't!
[screams]
Did you tell this man you're being held against your will?
- No! - Huh?
Did you tell him that you wanna give up sex work?
- [screams indistinctly] - And run away with him? Huh?
- No! - That what you said?
No! Larry, please, I'm so cold.
Cold? This is nothing.
It's on medium. I can turn it up if you want.
I don't wanna die.
You don't wanna die. [knocking on door]
It's the food.
Go get it.
[sobbing]
[muffled crying]
Quiet.
Should I be recording this?
Just the audio.
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Did you tell David that you were gonna run away with him
and quit sex trade?
Did ya?
[screams] Did ya?!
[Claudia]: No. No!
[screaming]
No.
[chuckling]
- Larry. - Sounds like she's snorting.
[Claudia wailing on recording]
At least she got the message. Huh?
Sure did. [grunting laugh]
[Claudia]: No. No, Larry.
Hey.
[recording beeps off]
What? Why the long face?
Um, Lar the... uh, last night when you were with Claudia
there's a um...
What? Spit it out?
Um, there, I think we all got the same email.
There's a reporter. He wants us to go on record.
- For what? - Well, it's unbelievable.
He's writing a story about Sarah Lawrence
and Slonim Woods 9 and... and you.
Me?
- Yeah. - Why me?
Well, maybe he wants to dig up some negative story about you.
- And all of us. - Negative story?
On what? Huh?
Why, how I helped you all with your mental health?
Gave ya... gave ya free room and board?
Get back up there, will ya?
[grunts]
What they do? They find the... the gun I held to your head?
Huh? Did they dredge the East River?
Find the gun I threw in there? Huh.
[grunts]
Give me the phone. Let me call this guy. What is it?
Dad, are you sure that's a good idea?
No, I'm not sure. You dial it and put it next to my face.
[call dialing] This guy. Who is it?
What's his name?
What's this liar's name?
Fiona.
Fiona, can we talk? Please?
You can't be near me, David. People might be watching us.
Okay, I just, I haven't heard from you in a week
and I just can't shake this. This sickening feeling that...
that you're not doing this work of your own free will.
Are you being sex trafficked.
What? No. Of course not. I just... I owe someone
a lot of money and we're getting too close
and it's distracting me from paying off my debts.
If you owe someone money and the person is forcing you
in the sex trade, that is the definition of sex trafficking.
Come with me, right now. No packing, no hesitating,
just come with me to Hartford. I will put you up somewhere.
You can hide and be safe. I will help you get help.
David, I can't go anywhere, okay?
This man, he has things on me
and he'll either send me to jail or he'll kill me.
And he's threatened to tell your family about us,
so just go back to your family.
Go back and leave me and all of this behind you.
Okay, Fiona, hey. I will... I will deal with my crap.
Let me help you, Fiona.
My name is Claudia.
Claudia. Wow, it suits you.
Come with me. Okay? This can all be over.
Just no strings attached.
[ominous music swells]
Total shit job. [stammers]
Not to mention screaming bullshit.
[stammers] Okay, listen to this.
"Mr. Ray exerted cult-like control
over his students' lives.
He repeated stories of sexual domination.
And of his emotionally unstable charges."
Oh, fancy word for you.
"Ray himself freely admitted to accepting money from Claudia
while she was working as a... as a prostitute."
Sex worker, you...
Oh, my God.
[exhales]
Nothing sells like white kids in peril, right?
I mean, all the, all the reporters, boy,
they're gonna sink their teeth into this thing right here,
which is why we gotta stop Claudia
from adding to this shit show right now.
Lar, did you admit that Claudia gave you money?
Yeah, so what?
So what? So what? Is it a crime to...
to accept recompense from someone who owes you money?
- Please! - But Larry...
it might be a crime.
Might be a crime. She, she poisoned me.
She... I have... she confessed to it on tape.
Come on! She owes, she owes me...
why am I even telling you any of this?
Will you do me a favor
and get your coats so we can go see her right now?
Okay, well obviously Dan talked to them
and Santos didn't.
But it's really damning. I mean, that's good, right?
I mean... everybody I've ever known, like,
millions of people, are going to read this.
[somber music plays]
[knock on door]
Hi. Can I uh, can I help you?
You must be David. David Wells?
Yeah, yeah, that's me.
We're trying to track down Claudia Drury.
Who?
We have CCTV footage of the Eden Park Hotel lobby
in New York City, where you and Claudia were talking
about a week ago. I can assure you,
she's not in any trouble. Either are you.
Uh yeah, I just, I don't...
I don't know where she is, so I'm sorry.
I'm the lead investigator in the sex trafficking department
at the FBI.
I'm trying to fast-track the arrest of Larry Ray.
Yeah, um, come in.
[knock on door] Claudia?
I'm Agent Maguire.
I'm heading up an investigation into Larry Ray.
[sobbing quietly]
I have reason to believe he's guilty of over 15 felony charges
and I'm really hoping you might talk to me about his activities.
From what I'm learning, Larry coerced you, exploited you,
trafficked you, all for his own gain.
Claudia, my forensic analysts told me
that in a four-year period,
you paid him over two million dollars.
Did you know that?
[sighs]
Could you come out and talk to me, Claudia, please?
Just a chat, I promise.
No.
No! No!
Okay. Maybe you're not ready. I get that.
But Claudia, Larry is still out there.
He's living with two of your friends
and he needs to be stopped. You know that even more than I do.
I'm just... he'll kill me.
He will torture and kill me.
We won't let him do that.
You don't know him.
And the things that I've done will come out
and I just...
I just want... I just want to disappear.
So, please go!
Okay. I will.
But Claudia, you are the victim here.
And the FBI knows that. So, I will leave my card with David.
But please, if you have a change of heart,
time is of the essence. Thank you.
- Claudia? - Sorry.
Claudia, you here? Honey? You in the uh... powder room?
It's dead. Clearly she doesn't have her phone.
Wherever she is.
Tomorrow she's scheduled to check out. What a shame.
Really. That's... I didn't know about that.
May I ask, can you clear out her belongings by then?
Actually, you know what? How about immediately?
[sinister music builds]
You read the expose?
It made me physically sick.
Do you have enough to take him down now?
Not by a long shot.
That's why we called you in.
Claudia won't go on the record. Won't talk to the FBI.
That's because this filth of a man
still has control over her.
Not anymore. She's left him. She's gone into hiding.
[exhales]
She got away.
Yes.
Why hasn't she called me?
She is deeply, deeply ashamed of what she's been through.
And she's terrified of him.
But if you can help convince her that we can keep her safe
and that she has nothing to be ashamed of--
Why would she listen to me?
We've gotta try everything we can.
[knock on door]
- Yes? - Hi, um I'm Christian Drury,
Claudia Drury's mother and this is her father.
We were hoping to talk to her?
Um, yeah. Yeah.
[tender music plays]
Thank you.
[sobbing]
Oh baby, we missed you so much.
The FBI just wants to talk you into testifying.
- That's why you're here. - Oh, sweetie.
If he gets locked up, he can never hurt you or anybody else.
That's right.
Whatever happened to you, you are not a criminal. You are--
- Yes, I am! - No, you are not.
Yeah, I am!
No. No. You are the victim.
And meeting Larry Ray was just a sick twist of fate.
[sobs]
It was just an accident.
No. No, it wasn't. Larry was right.
About what, sweetie?
He's right about accidents. That... that there aren't any.
Like, he didn't put any bars on those windows.
- I was the one who did it. - No.
I did all those things. It was me. It was me.
No, Claudia, no.
Do you think that even if I did it, I could still undo it?
Yeah.
Even if he's...
if he can't hurt me, then I still have to testify.
I still have to say all those things. My journals.
They're gonna... they're gonna read my journals out.
Sweetie.
His lawyers will read them and then everyone will know
the kind of person I am.
It's okay.
I don't know if I can do it.
[sobbing]
[rock music plays]
Who is ready for crepes a la Ray?
[chuckles]
You know they're special when they're savory, right?
But you know they're extra special, extra, extra Ray
when savory means caviar.
What... the heck is that?
It's for the best for my loyal customers, that's why.
But Dan, and Santos and Claudia, well that was...
I wonder what they're having for breakfast right now?
That's, that's what I wonder.
Well, Claudia, I don't know. Maybe Talia knows?
Tal... Talia is with her grandfather in North Carolina.
And Santos is finishing school and Dan,
I... I don't know, I think he's writing something.
You know what I was thinking? I think we should get a cat.
[pounding knock at door] FBI, open the door!
- Larry? - Don't open that door.
Don't you open that door. [pounding continues]
- Larry! - Let them pound. Go ahead.
[door crashes open] You run you little chickens.
You go ahead.
[guns cock]
[lips smack]
Crepes a la Ray.
