[g*nshots, glass breaking]

Previously on "Too Close to Home"...

[g*nshots]

I saw them men with my mirrors in the Secret Service!

When your brother gets back here, we are moving.

Moving?! He's in the army!

It ain't like he's making millions.

You all right?

I'm your wife.

Worry about me.

Okay.

As soon as she go to sleep, I'll be right over, okay?

Mm!

Oh! I can't do this, Annie.

You love her.

Ma'am...

You have a phone call.

Ma'am.

Why are you here?

You know why I'm here.

You need to leave.

You know that won't make him very happy.

Who is this?

[Sighs] No one.

Ma'am...

You should take this call.

Oh, don't tell me what I should do.

What's going on? Who is this?

Okay, I need to go, Brody.

Wait, not until you tell me what's going on.

I need to go.

Ma'am.

Wait. Unhand her now!

You can get the hell off my land.

Stop it!

Ma'am.

Tell me what's going on.

Brody, I need you to go.

Annie, who is this?

Okay, go inside the house.

Who is it?!

Just go inside the house, please!

Go!

Ma'am.

God, I'm not taking the phone call!

I'm not taking the damn phone call.

Ma'am.

I said I'm not taking the damn phone call, not leave me alone.

You should take this.

You know what? You can go to hell!

Okay? He can go to hell!

Ruined my life.

Yes, sir.

[Engine starts]

Thomas: Anna. Anna?

Anna?

I know you can hear me.

♪ Too close to home ♪

Is she listening?

Yes, sir, she is.

So am I to understand that you're ignoring me?

You know how that makes me crazy, and you know what happens when I'm upset.

Is that what you want... For me to be upset?

Answer me.

No.

There you are.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

[Chuckles]

Aren't you going to ask how I am?

I assume you're fine.

Well, I am.

So you know what that means.

I hear you thinking.

I need you on the next plane to D.C.

I'm not going to D.C.

Anna...

We need to end this, okay?

The whole world knows.

You let me worry about the world.

Your wife!

I will handle her.

I'm not coming back to D.C.

Are you sure about that?

Annie? Are you sure?

Yes, this is over.

[Sighs]

This is done, okay?

Goodbye!

I'm not done talking to you.

[Engine sputters]

Move, or I will run you over.

Ma'am, you don't have to do that.

Anna?

[Engine starts]

Anna?!

How would you like me to proceed, sir?

Yes.

Yes, sir.

[Beep]

[Cellphone rings]

[Sighs]

[Beep]

Hello?

Hey.

Are you all right?

Yeah What's going on?

Nelson: I was trying to find Regina.

Well, did you call her?

She's not answering the phone.

Well, you just talked to her.

No, I didn't.

No, yeah, you did, like an hour ago.

Tavia, no.

Well, she said it was you.

She did?

Yeah.

Can you go get her, please?

Yeah. Hold on.

Oh.

[Sighs]

She ain't here.

What?

She... she ain't here.

Well, where is she?

I don't know.

Can you see if the car is outside?

Yeah, it... Yeah, it's there.

Well, she's got to be close.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, big brother, she ain't here.

Okay, when she comes back, tell her to call me, okay?

Look, I got to get up early. I got to work in the morning.

Please, sis, please.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, I'll do it.

Thank you. Bye.

[Beep]

Where the hell your ass at?

[Cellphone vibrates]

Look who it is.

Don't answer it.

Damn.

No.

You love me, don't you?

You know what, um...

I love you.

Don't.

What?

Don't say that.

I do.

I got to go.

Regina?

Elm, I don't want to hear that.

Why not?

Look at the situation.

Will you stop it?

Damn it.

Why do you have to always make things so complicated, huh?

Why?

What are you talking about?

You have a wife.

And I have a husband.

We already talked about that, okay?

They're not here.

She loves you, okay?

And Nelson...

Loves me, too.

You know, when I'm with you, I feel so free.

So good.

This is all wrong, Elm.

You know it.

I know.

I'm so...

Sick of this.

This life.

I was homecoming queen.

I was voted most likely to succeed in high school.

Me and Shelby...

We were supposed to go to New York City.

Become actresses.

Look at me.

I'm still suck here in this damn trailer.

Still unhappy.

I can make you happy, Regina.

How?

You ain't got a damn thing, either.

We could pack up and get jobs up there.

Doing what?

We ain't got no degrees.

And I ain't about to work in no hotel.

That's the problem with a damn dream...

Trying to get it to come true.

I got to go.

Why?

[Sighs]

'Cause the way you talking and...

And it's getting late, and this ain't doing nothing but making me more upset.

So you just gonna quit on me?

And leave?

That's fine.

Bye, Elm.

You are leaving me.

Regina?

Regina?

Open the damn door!

I know you hear me!

You better open this damn door!

What do you want?

For you to open the door!

You need to go home.

As soon as you open this damn door.

What?

What?

That's what I said.

Is that any way to talk to your neighbor?

Can I help you?

No. But I can help you.

I seen you looking through the blinds.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Let me make this plain to you, bitch.

I don't like you.

But if you try to run up in my business, I will mop this trailer with your skinny ass.

Don't thr*aten me.

Then mind your damn business.

Girl, move.

I'm not done talking to you.

You want to see another side of me, huh?

Yeah, I want to see another side of you.

I mean, who are you with all this fakeness?

You need to move.

Look, move, girl.

Yeah, you scared.

Look at you.

What you hiding from?

I know your kind.

Oh, you in this damn trailer, all locked up behind this door.

I promise you, if you try to blow up my...

I'm gonna blow up yours.

I'm gonna tell you one more time to move.

Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, Annie.

Hey, Regina.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm good.

I was worried about you.

Well, you shouldn't be.

I can't help it.

Shouldn't you be in bed, Mac?

I was wondering where you were.

Well, I'm here now.

Can I hug you, Annie?

Why would you want to do that?

I love you.

Mmm!

Thank you, Mac.

I love you.

[Sighs]

I know you're going through a lot.

But everything's gonna be okay.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Things are always okay around here.

They may not be perfect, but they're always okay.

God, you're so mature.

And I wish Rebel thought more like you.

She does.

She just has a horrible way of showing it.

I mean, she's going through a lot, too.

At school, you know, all the boys, they make fun of her.

What do you mean by that?

Well, we don't have a lot.

That's not a reason to make fun of her.

She'll be fine.

She'll be fine.

That just breaks my heart.

No!

Annie, it shouldn't.

Okay, I'm teaching her how to be strong.

Can you teach her how to not be so mean?

I don't know if I can do that.

Rebel: What, so you think my life's a joke?

Rebel, no.

You must 'cause you're laughing.

I'm not laughing at you.

Well, then let me laugh at you.

Rebel, stop it!

What, we're just all...

You're gonna wake up, Aunt Bonnie, Rebel!

... laughing at each other, so let's all laugh.

Quiet.

Let's laugh at you and the president.

[Laughs]

And let's laugh at this trailer park.

And let's laugh at Bonnie and Brody, and let's laugh at you almost getting all of us k*lled.

And better yet, let's laugh at me and Mac having the same daddy.

Rebel?

What?

Stop it, please. Calm down.

I heard you. I heard you.

Why don't you go to be right now, okay?

That's why you didn't want me.

Mac, you go on, okay?

You were r*ped?

Go to bed.

You're gonna have to talk to us at some point.

Mac, please.

Okay, well, if it's who Shelby said it was, then I think you guys should know he's been looking at Rebel.

Who?

When?

All the damn time.

[Door opens, closes]

He's not in jail?

Bonnie...

No, he's in Winder.

He's on the sexual predator list.

He's looking at her.

I will take care of it.

I'll... I'll call the sheriff tomorrow.

He can't look at her.

Don't you think I know that?!

Why didn't you tell me?

Don't talk to me about it!

I've been the one that's taking care of these kids.

I got it.

I'm going to bed.

You don't want me here anymore, do you?

I'll move out as soon as I can.

You do not get to say that to me.

You show up out of nowhere, and I let you into my house.

I'll be out of here as soon as I can.

No, stop that.

I know you don't want me here, Bonnie.

[Sniffles]

You don't know me at all.

Oh.

I'm going to bed.

I'm sorry for everything.

Yeah, I'm sorry, too.

[Door opens]

[Door slams]

♪♪

Dax, I'm sorry.

Don't.

Don't touch me.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, sure you are.

I am!

Yeah.

Okay.

You can't do this.

[Groans]

It's done.

But that's my mother, Dax.

I know.

And my father.

Yeah.

I trusted you.

Well, that makes two of us.

Trusted you with my secrets.

You son of a bitch.

I trusted you with my life, and you're sleeping with him?

This senator... Are you kidding me?

Him, of all people!

Dax.

You know how much he hates me, you know how much he has done to me.

You and him.

Please.

You're begging again.

Don't do this.

Don't do this, Dax. I love you.

Shut your... Filthy mouth.

Don't you dare say that to me. Don't you dare!

Sorry.

You're not sorry.

And you won't be until you're back on the plane to the D.R.

Are you really doing this?

You think you're dreaming? This is done.

Dax, you love him.

You know nothing about this, Valerie.

I know that you love him.

Valerie, you don't know me at all.

I thought I did.

Well, if you did, you'd know that I have a...

Bitch switch that can turn on a mother... like nothing, and he just hit it.

Why are you being this way?

What way?

Like such a bitch?

Okay.

Shall we talk about you and your bitchness?

What?

I know you were sleeping with him, too.

What?

Do I really need to say his name?

What are you talking about? I...

Val, is that why you're so mad at her?

When she started here, he pushed you right aside and left you out in the cold, so...

You're pissed.

I never slept with him.

Yeah.

Tell that to someone who knows better.

Leave me alone.

[Door slams]

Where were you?

What you talking about?

I came looking for you earlier.

I went for a drive.

The car was outside.

A walk.

Girl, how many lies you gonna tell me?

Okay, okay, I... I just went for a walk.

I just needed to clear my head.

So why the hell did you tell me you were talking to Nelson?

'Cause who I'm talking to ain't your business, Tavia.

You do know this is my damn house, right?

And you do know that your brother pays half the rent, right?

You let me find out you stepping out on him.

[Scoffs]

Girl, girl, hush, okay.

I would never do that to Nelson.

I love him.

Really?

Yeah, well, something ain't adding up.

You go on, let your imagination run off with you.

Oh, I will. I will.

Cheating on your brother.

Girl, bye with all that foolishness.

Like I said, you let me find out.

Whatever.

Ah.

Look at that moon, huh?

Yeah.

[Chuckles]

You know, you're going to have to let her go, don't you?

Who, Daddy?

She's moved on.

Who are you talking about?

Don't try to make me think I'm crazy.

Who am I?

You don't know your own damn name?

No, I know my name.

Well, good. You should.

What's my name?

Why are you doing this to me?

I just want to know you know my name.

How could I not know your name?

What's my name.

I come out here to have a conversation with you, and you just ask me these idiotic questions.

I'm sorry.

No!

No, you're not, Brody.

You're doing it on purpose.

And I'm not crazy.

No, you're not.

No, I'm not. I'm not crazy.

I just come out...

Move!

What the hell is your problem?

I need to get out of here.

Who the hell is he?

Somebody who needs an attitude adjustment.

Can you move this piece of crap so I can get out?

You need to show some respect to my father, friend.

Just do something about this.

Is that your way of being nice?

I'm not in the mood.

Yeah. Well, I wasn't in the mood to take care of your friends and let you all stay here.

Okay, I don't care.

Move this.

Oh. You know what?

Move it yourself.

You don't think I will?

Knock yourself out.

I'm not playing around with you.

Do I look scared to you?

Oh, if you knew what I was capable of, you would be.

Like I said...

Move it yourself.

He has no idea what he's doing, does he?

No.

Pissing me off is not the right thing to do around here.

I agree.

Move it! I mean it!

Come on, Daddy. It's getting late.

Brody.

Oh, he knows your name.

You need to move this tractor so I can leave!

Hey. You need to watch your tone.

All right, I don't know if you noticed, but I have a lot of heavy equipment.

And if you take a quick look around, you'll notice it's real easy to hide a body with this many acres.

What the hell is his problem?

All of this.

Yeah, well, he's got the wrong one if he thinks he can talk to me like that.

I'm sorry.

No respect at all.

He's just been through a lot.

Sheba.

Daddy?

Excuse me?

That's Valerie.

No, no, it's... It's Sheba.

I loved her brown skin.

It was like mahogany.

And the things she could do with her hips.

Oh.

It made me wish I was a younger man.

And her fragrance...

Like jasmine.

Oh, and she was so sensuous.

The things she would do to make me feel alive.

Daddy?

It was like fire.

Who is Sheba?

She was beautiful. Just beautiful.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Just beautiful.

Okay, Daddy. Did Mama know?

I think I should go to sleep now.

[Chuckles]

Okay.

I love a brown body.

Daddy!

What?

Daddy, come on.

Let's go to bed.

All right.

Hm.

Sorry.

[Chuckles]

Don't mention it.

[Engine stops]

[Sighs]

You still mad at me?

Damn right.

That's why you been so quiet?

I'm sorry, Rick.

I'm sorry.

I'm...

Stop it.

Hey! Come here.

You still gonna act like a big baby?

Damn right.

Look, I said I was sorry.

Should have told me how much money you got.

Well, you shouldn't have used it all!

That ain't right.

I know.

I give you everything.

Everything.

Not all the time.

Yes, I do.

You know why that is?

Why?

'Cause I love you, Shelby.

I love you, too.

Why don't you come on back to my place?

Baby, come on. You know I can't do that.

Your mama don't like me.

She comes in and wakes me up every time I got to work.

So you gonna call me tomorrow after you get paid?

You know it.

And we gonna go to the inn?

Yes.

Me and you.

I love it!

Okay.

Okay.

So call me tomorrow.

Okay.

After you get paid.

Bye, babe.

[Engine starts]

Jolene: Shelby!

Come here!

What do you want?

Come here!

Who was you with?

Rick.

Ugh... Rick.

He's a loser.

Yeah, well...

That makes a lot of us around here.

When are you gonna get yourself together, girl?

Oh, mama, don't you talk to me about getting myself together.

Ooh! I can smell the dr*gs from here.

All you can smell is food!

Oh, now, don't you go and get sassy on me, girl!

What you want?

Well...

Well, I'm hungry, and...

Bonnie's not even answering her phone.

Well, I guess you're... Out of luck, then.

Well, come on, now. You need to go and warm me something to eat!

Mama, you know what time it is?

Just do it!

I ain't Bonnie.

Well, now, Shelby...

Come on, I'm hungry. And, you know, look!

My sugar's dropping. I got to get something to eat.

Yeah, well, I'll think about it.

Shelby, please! Come on, now!

I will. Bye.

Shelby!

You know I'm sick, now!

[Door opens]

You're in my bed.

This is Bonnie's couch, Shelby.

Well, that's my place to sleep.

So you need to move.

Well, the chair and the floor look mighty comfortable.

Okay, well, get to it, then.

I'm not arguing with you, Shelby.

Well, we all got to do a whole lot of...

We don't want to, now, don't we?

Come on, Annie, let's go!

Go away.

No, that's my place to sleep!

Don't touch me. Don't touch me!

Leave her alone.

Oh, hey, Mac.

You grew up so handsome.

Don't touch me.

You're my son.

I said don't touch me!

All right!

All right, fine.

You still grew up handsome, though.

What are you doing?

Your grandma wants something to eat.

She doesn't eat this late.

Why?

Bonnie doesn't feed her after midnight.

[Laughs]

What, she gonna turn into a garden pumpkin or something?

Yeah, you should get out of here, Shelby.

Well, I'm sorry, Mac. I ain't gonna be able to do that.

What are you even doing here?

Look, I'm just tired, and I need someplace to sleep.

No, you need to leave. Okay? Get out.

Bonnie: Mac. Will you go to bed, please?

Go to bed, Mac.

Shelby, what in the hell are you doing here?

I told you to go.

Bonnie, I was trying to lay down, but she's in my bed.

[Sighs]

Are you high?

No!

Are you high?

No, Bonnie. I was...

I just want to go to sleep, but she's in my bed!

It's not your bed, Shelby.

Yes, it is! That's where I sleep!

All right!

It's my bed!

You can sleep with me tonight, all right?

You gonna let me sleep with you?

Yeah, that's what I said.

What? You ain't never let me near your m...

You must be mad at her.

Go.

If she wasn't so mad, she'd make me sleep there.

But now I get the bed.

Well, tonight's your lucky night, now, isn't it?

Okay, okay, just don't push me.

You're mad at her, ain't you?

Lay down, Shelby.

Oh, yeah, you mad.

Go to sleep.

No, but I got to pee.

All right, go pee, but shut up.

Okay. I'll be back.

Hey.

Go to sleep.

I want to show you something.

Turn off your light and go to sleep.

Bonnie...

Shelby!

You need to see this.

[Sighs]

What?

Look what I found.

You got something you want to say?

Where the hell did you find this?

Found it at the bottom of the sink.

And somebody was trying to hide it.

It's not mine.

Well, it ain't mine.

Well, who the hell's is it?

It's not Rebel's.

Bonnie, it's got to be.

Well, let's go get her up now.

Let's go talk to her.

Shh. Just go to bed.

I will talk to her.

Tomorrow.

I think we should talk to her now.

Just go to sleep. Turn off your light.

Who is it?

Anna?

Dax, what are you doing here?

I need a ride.

To where?

The airport.

In Montgomery?

Yeah.

Where is the rental car?

I just need to get out of here!

Okay, you know what? Why don't you just tell me what's going on.

It's Victor.

That son of a bitch was cheating.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'll bet you knew all about it, didn't you?

Dax, don't. I'm not getting involved in this.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Are you going back to D.C.?

I don't know.

[Sighs]

He just won't leave me alone.

What, is he still bothering you?

[Sighs] I can't talk about this.

Hey, hey, you can tell me.

No.

Come on. You can.

Gary's here.

The Secret Service?

Yeah.

Are you kidding me?

He wanted me to talk to him on the phone today.

I-I wish I could help.

Yeah, I... I don't know what I'm gonna do, and I don't know how to get him to leave me alone.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna ignore him.

I think that's...

So you... you can't take me to a hotel or something?

Bonnie's car has been running hot, and I... I...

She's asleep, and I don't...

No, hey. It was stupid of me to think you could help.

You know what, Dax, I'm sorry.

My boyfriend drove you all the way out here to get his ass kicked, and you can't take me to a hotel?

Dax, your boyfriend wouldn't have had to drive me if you'd actually helped.

Are you really saying I should have helped you when you were... the president?!

You did this.

Don't you dare blame it on me.

Go to hell.

I'll find a hotel myself.

... off.

I hate this place!

[Screams]

Sheba, no!

No, Sheba.

[Groans]

Daddy? Daddy, what are you doing?!

You stay back, Jesse.

What are you doing?

I love her.

Daddy, look at me.

I love her, Jesse.

I don't want to be with your mama!

Daddy, I'm Brody, Daddy.

Look at me.

I won't look at you.

Daddy, Daddy.

Where's your brother?

Stop it.

Where's your brother?

Stop it.

Is he still in the field?

Did you break him in front of you?

It's okay.

Look at me, daddy.

Go to hell.

Go to hell.

Daddy, cover up!

What?

I'm so sorry.

Damn it, this is crazy, Brody!

Look, you should have locked the door.

Are you blaming this on me?

No, I'm not. But you should have locked the door.

I forgot when I went to the bathroom.

Sorry.

I told you you need to lock the door.

Sorry. Sorry.

[Sighs]

Locking doors around here.

Look your doors.

[Door closes]

[Lock clicks]

[Laughs]

Stop laughing!

I'm sorry, but...

But I needed a good laugh.

First thing in the morning, I'm getting out of here.

[Groans]

Yeah.

This place is crazy.

Well, I'm glad that you can find a reason to laugh, despite your family's situation.

Don't.

Don't.

My mother's scared to death right now.

And he just...

I can't believe he just...

Well, I can.

What?

I thought you said he didn't have this type of power.

And all of a sudden, you have a change of heart?

Did I?

Don't you dare.

Tell me, and tell me now.

He doesn't have this kind of power, Victor, I promise.

Valerie...

We're getting out of here tomorrow.

I'm with you.

Do you hear me?

Yeah. I'm with you.

I am totally with you.

Yeah. Me too.

I hate this place!

Hey!

Hey.

Hey, man. Hey.

Hey, you're Anna's friend.

Can you give me a ride?

Where are you trying to go?

To a bus station.

Yeah, uh...

Well, there's no bus around here.

Well, uh...

How about this. I will pay you to take me to Montgomery.

[Chuckles] Yeah, I can't do that.

All right, I'll pay you to take me to a hotel or something.

Well, um...

There's only one hotel in town.

Yeah.

I can take you there.

Thank you.

Yeah, sure.

Come on, hop in.

[Sighs]

How's it going? Dax.

Yeah, J.B.

Hey, man, nice to meet you.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, so you're from D.C., huh?

Yeah.

So you know that q*eer that got his ass kicked at the bar?

Yeah. Yeah, you do.

You know what? I'm gonna walk.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, settle down, all right?

I'll... I'll take you. I got it.

No.

Yeah, I will. Stay in the truck.

Like I said, I'll walk.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, you know, it is really rude to refuse a man around here.

I'll take you.

Next on "Too Close to Home"...

Jolene, this place is a damn mess!

Mama, when's the last time you hugged me?

I never hugged you.

I'm upset because of this.

If I ever see you around here again, I'll make to put your ass back in jail.

He doesn't have to get away from me!

I'm not about to cooking for your wife.

You throw a good punch, so prepare for the counter one.

You think you somebody, huh?

I'm telling you something might happen.

What's going on?

You wouldn't understand.

Rebel!
