MADELINE:
I do care about you, David.
I care about all of my patients.
You made me feel special.
You are special.
Each and every one
of my patients is special
in their own unique way.
No.
You tricked me.
I thought you loved me!
Okay, David,
I need you to calm down.
Please will you sit,
so that we can discuss this?
Okay?
You lied to me.
(CHOKING)
I loved you.

(SIGHS)
(KELLY LAUGHS)
Oh my God,
I almost just k*lled you.
You scared me to death.
Well, I didn't know it was you.
(SIGHS)
I'm a bit dizzy.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Come on, we'll get you sat down.
You'll be okay.
I thought you were breaking in.
You weren't supposed
to come until next week.
Well, that was the plan,
but had my last session,
locked up the office,
and drove straight here.
Daddy wanted you here
two weeks ago as soon
as he heard that it happened.
(CHUCKLES)
How is your neck anyway?
You know, it's okay.
I mean, it's still a little sore
when I turn it,
- but yeah.
- Hmm.
Trust me,
I wanted to get out of there.
I mean, I just felt really bad
abandoning my patients.
I had to have one last session
with them.
Why? They're all crazy anyway.
Kelly, you know
I don't like that word.
Just open your eyes, Maddy.
You've devoted your life
to helping these people.
And then one of them
tries to k*ll you.
You don't let him squat.
David was an exception.
They're not all like that.
Okay, just be careful.
That's all I'm saying, please.
Okay, can we please
change the subject?
I am here to relax
and to write my book.
What were you doing here anyway?
I was fixing up
the place for you.
Daddy wanted to make sure
that the toilet's flushed
and that the heating worked.
I've become very handy.
I am Daddy's handy lady.
And you write
a best-selling novel.
(CHUCKLES)
I think that we can both
see who's going, Maddy.
What about the bakery?
Voted number one in Gooseberry?
That was like three years ago.
Doesn't matter.
It's still a big deal.
Thanks, Maddy.
But baking scones
does not compare
to being a best-selling author.
We're all super proud of you.
Thank you, Kat.
Okay, I gotta go.
Oh, let me take that.
(CHUCKLES)
()
Okay.
(CAMERA WHIRRING)
Day one.
I'm Doctor Madeline Faye.
This video
and all videos hereafter
are for reference purposes only.
The patient's name and
likeness will remain anonymous
and all videos will be destroyed
at publication of the book.
The patient has agreed
to these terms
and can terminate the contract
at any time.
She suffers
from bipolar disorder.
The reason I chose her
is because she's open,
and raw, and honest.
She uh, is willign to share
her struggles with the world
and she's so courageous
I admire her very much
and I'm determined to help her.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Hey there, Heather.
(HEATHER SIGHS)
HEATHER: (ON VIDEO CALL)
I'm a mess, Dr. Faye.
The crashes happen
more frequently now.
I have no motivation,
no desire, no energy, no will.
I stare out the window,
hour after hour.
I see kids playing outside,
people talking and laughing,
enjoying life
while I rot away in my bed,
wishing I could die.
And then that weird,
creepy sensation takes over.
It's called, "disassociation".
HEATHER:
Yes, it's t*rture.
It's like being in a coma,
only I'm wide awake,
paralyzed with fear,
and dread, and hopelessness.
MADELINE: How long did
it last this time, Heather?
HEATHER: (ON VIDEO CALL)
Four days.
That's a really long time.
That must have
been awful for you.
I'm scared, Dr. Fay.
I don't want to die.
I want to live,
but not like this.
I understand, Heather.
I'm here for you.
HEATHER: (ON VIDEO CALL)
But you're not here.
I hate talking to you
on a computer screen.
It's not the same as
seeing you in person.
I know that changing the
routine for you, Heather,
is really difficult
and it's going to take a
little while to adjust,
but nothing else has changed.
Okay?
And if you have any emergencies,
you have my contact number.
And if for some reason
you can't get a hold of me,
you have the number
of Dr. Leibowitz, right?
I'd rather stab myself
in the eyeball with an ice
pick than talk to Dr. Leibowitz.
I know you're not a fan of his.
He's a tool.
Yes, he is a tool.
But in a crisis,
it is better than nothing.
Heather, this book
is going to be amazing.
People suffering from
mental illness are gonna
admire you so much.
This is gonna to decrease
the stigma in society,
and we're gonna educate the
people that don't understand.
You are part of the solution,
and I am proud of you.
I want you to trust me, Heather.
I want you to believe me
when I tell you that your
life is going to get better.
Okay.
MADELINE: (ON VIDEO CALL)
I'll talk to you later.

(GASPS)
Thank you!
I have missed these so much.
Kelly makes the
best blueberry scones.
She sure does.
And perfect blueberry
to scone ratio.
Mm-hmm.
Jackie, you look fantastic.
Well, you're gorgeous,
and you never age.
Little Miss New York Times
best-selling author.
Yeah. I don't know whether
it's a blessing or a curse.
How's that going, by the way?
I didn't want to bring it up,
but we were all
really worried about you.
I'm coping.
Yeah, it's been really
hard shutting the practice.
You know, I feel like I
was abandoning all my patients.
I'm sure they understand.
They know what happened, right?
I mean, yeah.
It was all over the internet.
Well, at least he's
locked up in jail.
No, in a psychiatric ward.
I mean, he can't get out,
thankfully, but...
Tell me about this new
book you're writing.
Well, it's about a woman
with bipolar disorder.
She's letting me do
a story on her life.
So, currently, she's my
one and only patient.
Wow, so she's going to come
this far for therapy sessions?
No, definitely not.
It's all remote.
Video sessions only.
Perfect.
Well, I can't wait to read it.
Thank you! Okay,
enough about my book.
Catch me up on the dirt.
What's been
happening around here?
I've not been home in years.
Well, you know who got divorced?
Who?
Tony.
Oh, he's such a sweet guy.
That's so sad.
No, it's a blessing.
His ex was having an
affair for like a year
before he found out.
- No.
- Yeah.
She started sleeping
with the plumber.
He was married, too.
She got suspicious
and hired a PI,
and then she mailed
a stack of photos to Tony,
and that's how he found out.
That is horrible.
Can you imagine?
No.
He kicked her out and
filed for divorce the next day.
MADELINE:
Well, good for him.
Yeah.
He was asking about you.
What was he asking?
Just, he was asking, okay?
Interesting.
Well, I am focusing on being
single and writing my book.
How noble.
(CHUCKLES)
Just think about it.
He'll be at
Kelly's party on Friday.
Oh.
I did not know that.
Well, I've got to run.
I have Pilates class.
Oh.
It's so good to have you, Paula.
We're going to do this
all the time now, girl.
- Love to.
- Yes.
And don't judge me.
I'm going to take
this scone to go.
(BOTH CHUCKLES)
Bye, honey.
Thanks for coming in.
Thank you!
(CROW CAWING)
I am ecstatic,
to have my brilliant,
sweet Maddy back home.
And every year you look
more and more like your mother.
Well, you both do.
I just wish she could
be with us right now.
I know.
Me too.
You look great, Dad.
Oh, I love what you did to
the walls in our bedroom
from when we were kids.
Well, they were
masterpieces of memory.
You don't throw those
in the dumpster.
We had them carefully
removed, and framed, and
brought into this room.
I just always thought it
was so cool the way you
let us write all over the wall.
Well, I couldn't stop you.
(ALL LAUGHS)
No, but you were
expressing your creativity
and look how it
all worked out, huh?
I have my famous writer
and my uh, culinary artist.
(MAKES POPPING SOUND)
(CHUCKLING)
What am I doing?
- So, Dad.
- MR. FAYE: Yeah.
Kelly tells me you've been busy.
Oh, yeah.
For better or worse.
Always on the move.
Did you tell her about
the property on Block Island?
No. What's that?
Well, actually,
it's a beautiful inn with a
spectacular view of the ocean.
It's on this lovely cliff.
Sounds gorgeous.
It is.
And it did very,
very well last summer.
MADELINE: Who
have you got running it?
Who do you think?
I've had no life
at all last summer.
All I did was go
from island to the inn,
island to the inn.
Just imagine riding
that ferry 10 times a week.
And I never hear any
complaints on Thursday
when the paychecks are cashed.
(CHUCKLES)
(PHONE BUZZES)
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm going to take this.
Of course.
(PHONE BEEPS)
Hi, Heather.
Is everything okay?
(SIGHS)
I'm overwhelmed.
I can't function.
Even brushing my teeth
takes so much effort.
I can't take it anymore.
I need to see you, Dr. Faye.
We have discussed this before,
and you agreed to
doing the video sessions.
HEATHER: (OVER PHONE)
Yeah, but I don't think it's working.
I'm getting worse.
I know it's difficult,
but you must trust
this process, okay?
You have so much to live for.
Uh. Like what?
You are kind
and you are beautiful...
HEATHER: (OVER PHONE)
Oh God, please.
- You're just saying that.
- And intelligent.
HEATHER: (OVER PHONE) I'm a
loser who hasn't showered in six days.
(HEATHER SOBBING)
What about the book?
And how many people
that's going to make happy?
Oh, you mean your book?
You're just using
me for another spot
on the bestseller list.
I'm not stupid.
Heather,
I know you are struggling,
but you're just
having a bad week.
I'm sorry I said that.
I didn't mean that.
I'm so ashamed.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me, Dr. Faye.
Okay.
You're going to get through
this because you are strong.
I'm sorry I bothered you.
I'm going to let you go.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
(PHONE BEEPS)
()
Sorry about that.
MADELINE:
Thank you, Dad.
I'm going to leave
you at home later.
Well, it's part of the
perks of being at home.
(KISSES)
I'm so lucky you're here.
- Kelly.
- Yeah, Dad.
Make sure that
tomorrow morning you
pick up all the rent checks
before you open the bakery,
- okay?
- Sure, Dad.
Bye.
I'll uh, call you later?
- Yeah.
- Right.
The next time I see
you, it is party time!

Oh.

I scared you again.
- (MADELINE SIGHS)
- I almost stabbed you.
We need to call the police.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN
BACKGROUND)
And you're sure you
locked the slider door?
I mean, I think so.
You think so?
Well, I made some calls.
And I can confirm David
Sanders has not been released.
And he didn't escape either.
He's still in
the maximum security
division of the hospital.
(EXHALES)
That's a relief.
Yeah, but someone
had to have opened the door.
We checked every
square inch of this place.
Every room in the house,
the basement, the attic,
the beach, the yard.
Whoever it was, they're gone.
A lot of times,
it's just townie kids looking
for an empty house to party in.
And this place has been vacant
for a while, so that's my bet.
Oh, I forgot to give you this.
Found it under the deck.
Kept ringing and ringing.
Thank you.
Ah, before we go,
can you sign this for me?
My wife's a huge fan.
She's got it for you.
Off course.
- There you go.
- Thank you so much.
- All right, thanks, guys.
- Thank you, have a nice night.
21 missed calls from the same
number.
Well, that's excessive.
Who called you 21 times?
It doesn't matter.
Okay,
let's go inside, it's freezing.
Hi, Heather, I'm so sorry.
We got disconnected.
My phone fell on the deck.
Listen,
I'm just calling you back
to make sure you're okay.
So, if you could
leave me a text message,
if you don't wanna to call,
just let me know
you're all right.
Okay, bye.
What was that about.
Oh, it was just a patient.
They got disconnected earlier.
I was just seeing
if she was okay.
Is this another nutcase, Maddy?
I mean, should we be concerned.
No, no, no, no, look,
there she is right now.
Everything is okay.
Well, I hope you're right,
Maddy.
(SIGHS)
It's fine.
I am absolutely exhausted.
I have a video
session in five hours.
Okay, well, get some rest,
and I will call you later.
Thank you.
(BIRDS AND INSECTS CHIRPING)
HEATHER: (ON VIDEO CALL)
It was a long night.
I was manic.
I rearranged all the
furniture in my living room.
Then I had this obsession
with my Tupperware drawer.
Tried to organize it,
but half the lids were missing,
and I didn't
want to throw any out.
You wouldn't believe how many
hours I spent in the kitchen.
Are you okay?
Huh?
You seem out of it today.
I do?
(CLEARS THROAT) I'm sorry, I'm a
little distracted.
Um, where were you when
you called me last night?
The park.
And what were you
doing at the park?
HEATHER: (ON VIDEO CALL)
I had to get out of my apartment.
My OCD was really bad.
I'm still wired even right now.
At least I'm getting
things done though, right?
But you know what
happens after the mania.
The crash.
I hate it.
Depression's brutal.
I'd rather stay manic.
No, Heather, you do not
want to stay in the mania.
It makes you make
really bad decisions.
Yeah, I know,
I know, and it's stressful.
I feel like... I feel like
I'm on a roller coaster
and I can't get off.
My life is hell, Dr. Faye.
I just want to be normal.
You have a chemical imbalance in
your brain, Heather.
This is not your fault.
But we can improve the
quality of your life.
I know.
You want me to go back
on medication again.
Yeah, I tried that already.
None of them worked.
I felt like a zombie.
MADELINE: (ON VIDEO CALL)
I know.
It takes time, Heather,
and it can be
really frustrating.
I understand,
but we have to keep trying.
What works for one patient
doesn't always work for another.
There is a... a new bipolar
medicine on the market
that you haven't tried.
Maybe that's the one for you.
I'll think about it.
MADELINE: (ON VIDEO CALL)
Really?
Yes.
That makes me happy.
Are you sure you're okay,
Dr. Faye?
You look tired.
These sessions are for you,
Heather, not me.
Come on, don't be like that.
You can tell me anything.
I'm like family to you.
I'm your favorite patient.
Besides, no offense,
you don't look so good.
I mean, in all
the years I've known you,
I've never seen
you look this rough.
Uh.
Okay, well,
I came home last night
and uh, the side door was open.
Someone had broken in.
Oh my God.
MADELINE: (ON VIDEO CALL)
Yeah, when I walked out onto the deck,
I swear I saw
someone running away.
HEATHER:
What did you do?
I... I called the police
and they came,
and they checked everything out,
but they didn't find anything.
(EXHALES)
You must be totally freaked out.
Where is this place again?
Gooseberry Beach, Rhode Island.
I mean, I grew up here.
It's the safest place ever.
Especially in winter,
it's like a ghost town.
HEATHER: (ON VIDEO CALL)
I don't know, Dr. Faye.
Maybe you should get a roommate.
What about your sister?
Maybe she could move in
with you till you get settled.
Did I tell you I had a sister?
Yeah. Why?
Is that a big deal or something?
I mean,
a lot of people have sisters.
No, no, I just... I don't
remember mentioning it to you,
that's all.
I'm fine, Heather,
and I don't need a roommate.
Okay, let's redirect the
conversation back to you.
So where did you
go after the park?
(SIGHS)
Well, after I rearranged the
furniture in the living room,
then I moved on to the bedroom.
I was stacking my sweaters.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN
BACKGROUND)
Madeline Faye.
Tommy, hi.
(CHUCKLES)
I heard you were back in town.
Yeah, I had a coffee
with Jackie yesterday.
Oh yeah, yeah, she...
she called me last night
and told me all about it.
(CHUCKLES)
Are we expecting
a home invasion?
Well, um, I just had a little
scare at the house last night.
I'm... I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to
joke about that.
- What happened?
- No, it's fine.
Well, someone broke in.
Did they take anything?
- Are you okay?
- No, which is good.
I mean, the police came,
but they didn't find anything,
so I'm just
being extra cautious.
Yeah you can't be too careful.
Cameras are a good idea.
Yeah, not that I have any
clue how to install this,
but...
Well, you know, I might
know a guy that can help.
You know?
He's tall, dark, handsome.
I think he's off
today, actually, too.
Let's see if he
can help you out.
Oh, that would be great.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, he's got a
truck full of tools.
A ladder.
Actually, hold on.
Hey, Tony.
Can you help out this
beautiful girl today?
Yeah? Okay.
He said he's good to go.
And a ladder.
I didn't even think about that.
Um, thank you.
Well, I'm parked out front,
so I'll meet you there?
Sure. Okay.
I'll see you soon.
(DRILLING)
TONY:
Nothing?
Still nothing.
TONY:
Uh, really?
Thought you said you
were good at this.
Who, me? No.
I was just kidding.
I've never done this before.
I'm just glad
I haven't electrocuted myself.
Hold on one second. Uh.
All right.
Let me try something.
All right.
How about now?
It's up!
How's the picture?
Can you move it
to the left a little?
Little more.
Stop there.
This is great.
I feel safer already.
TONY:
Well, good.
You should feel
safe in Gooseberry.
Everyone feels
safe in Gooseberry.
Yes.
Been a rough couple weeks.
I'm sorry about
everything that's going on.
That's okay.
I'm a tough cookie.
Oh, you don't have to tell me.
Well, I'm really glad
you're back in the neighborhood.
Feels like the 90s again.
Yes, it does.
Will you be at Kelly's party?
Can't wait.
See you soon.
Thank you.
(WATER RIPPLING)
I love these little
impromptu hangouts we have now.
Me too.
How'd you know I
would want ice cream?
Because you always
want ice cream.
This is true.
Oh, look what I got.
- What?
- Security system.
Oh.
Oh, wow.
Maddy, I feel so much better
about you being alone right now.
- This is great.
- Me too.
Guess who I ran into
at the hardware store?
Who?
Tony Miller.
Really?
He actually offered
to install it.
So I mean, I let him, because I
had no idea how to do it, so.
That is so nice.
I mean, Tony is always doing
the nicest things for people.
(SIGHS)
So did you guys hang out?
Well, he was...
he was busy installing it.
I mean, I...
we caught up a little bit.
Yeah.
Good.
Everything okay?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't it be okay?
I don't know, 'cause you look a
little annoyed.
You used to have a
crush on Tony, didn't you?
No, of course not.
I mean, that was
like 20 years ago.
- Come on.
- Yeah, no, you're right.
Of course.
I... I figured as much. I just...
Besides, everybody had
a crush on Tony Miller,
Gooseberry's star quarterback.
(LAUGHS)
I can't argue with that.
We had so much fun back then.
We were such a good g*ng.
Yeah, well, tomorrow
we're getting the van back
together again.
- Right?
- Mhmm.
Only one problem.
What?
I have no idea what to wear.
()
MR. FAYE:
Attention, please.
Attention, everyone,
friends, extended family.
Oh, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Look at all this
wonderful color.
It's like a flash of
summer in the dead of winter.
I love it. I love it.
Now, of course,
I want to thank you all
for coming to my
daughter Kelly's birthday.
Hats off to Kelly!
(CHEERING, CLAPPING)
- Where's the birthday girl?
- Daddy, daddy.
Oh, come here.
Come right over here.
This is a big one.
Come over and stand
with your old man.
Now, everyone, huh,
this is a special day.
It's not every day that
your little girl turns 40.
(CHUCKLES)
Let's all welcome her to the
wonderful world of middle age.
Raise your glasses.
A toast to Kelly!
CROWD:
To Kelly!
Oh, oh,
while I have your attention,
I also want to officially
welcome home my beautiful,
talented daughter, Madeline,
who is fresh off her
best-selling book tour. Huh?
And now she's home with
her father for the winter
here in Gooseberry.
Everybody, to Madeline!
CROWD:
To Madeline!
MR. FAYE:
Come, come. Congratulate her.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(LAUGHS)
From Gooseberry.
Now I don't have to miss her.
()
I still haven't paid you
for helping me the other day.
You know, I was
just thinking that.
I was thinking maybe
you owe me a date or something.
- Is that right?
- Mhmm.
Maybe like a
traditional home-cooked meal.
Oh, really?
What'd you have in mind?
TONY: You know, at first I
was thinking something really
difficult,
like instant mac and cheese.
But you know, I said,
let's keep it simple.
You know, like salmon,
wild rice, grilled asparagus.
Unless you're a
mashed potato kind of grilled.
That is very specific.
I like seafood.
Well, you know, we have
some juicy Atlantic salmon
coming in off the coast and
we're supposed to have a
hell of a catch tomorrow.
I actually have a
delicious salmon recipe
that my mom used to make.
Well then, it's meant to be.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
My kitchen would be open.
(CHUCKLES)
Wow, Tony and Madeline really
seem to be hitting it off, huh?
Yeah, they're getting
pretty cozy by the fire.
I'm sorry, does that bother you?
You're kidding me, right?
See, I knew you didn't care.
Yeah, guys, I already told
you I'm seeing someone else.
You did? Who?
When did you tell me?
Like, last summer.
Remember?
I must be getting Alzheimer's.
When are we gonna meet this guy?
Flowers for the birthday girl.
- Thanks, Vinnie.
- Hi, honey.
- You're adorable.
- You look great.
- Oh, thanks.
- Yeah.
This place is amazing.
Wow, I... I love the beach thing.
Yeah, it's... your father
really knows how to party.
(CHUCKLES)
- Hi, guys.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- So, this is Vinnie.
Yeah.
This is my best friend, Jackie.
- And this is Larry.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just not...
I'm not used to
being in such a nice place.
Everything's so unique,
you know?
(CHUCKLES)
I recognize you now.
From the bakery.
Medium roast, oat milk.
- Uh, impressive.
- Uh-huh.
So, are you from here or what?
No, no, no, I'm...
I'm from Cleveland.
- Cleveland.
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, you know, I just...
I love the water so much,
but I was landlocked
and I just woke up one day
and I said, "screw it",
and I headed to the coast.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I mean, there's nothing
better than the ocean.
- I'll fix it up.
- Yeah.
VINNIE:
To the ocean.
(VINNIE& LARRY LAUGHS)
Hey, honey.
Hey.
I just wanted to tell you
how amazing you look tonight.
Oh, thank you.
Gorgeous flowers,
where are they from?
Yeah, Vinnie gave them to me.
The bakery.
Light roast.
Extra almond.
Nailed it.
Oh, wait, this is Vinnie.
Guilty as charged.
Oh, you guys know each other.
Well, he made me a coffee.
Oh, okay, well,
this is my sister, Made...
No, I know, I know, I know.
I follow you on Instagram.
I mean, me and like...
like a million other people,
right?
You know, but I...
Yeah, but I like
your pics all the time.
And sometimes I'll just
drop an emoji in the comments.
Very sweet, thank you.
Oh, Maddy, I forgot to tell you.
The cops told me that
they caught some high school
dropouts going
up and down the coast,
breaking inside people's houses.
Little b*stards.
That's a relief, though, right?
Well, yeah.
At least it's
not an ax m*rder*r.
Well, I mean, it was the
same stuff that we used to do.
Just kids nowadays don't
know how not to get caught.
Oh, you know what? Larry,
let me take that for you.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Excuse me,
could you take that for me?
Hey, hey, hey,
I hope everybody is having a
fantastic time.
I apologize, but
I have to borrow my two kiddos
- just for a minute or two.
- Okay.
We're having an impromptu
family meeting.
(CHUCKLES)
MR. FAYE:
Oh, what a night.
Oh, what a night.
There's nothing like
a good old-fashioned
birthday festivity.
It reminds me of all those
huge parties we used to
have at this house.
Your graduations and
our anniversaries.
Remember what your mother
used to do at Halloween
with making the whole
place into a haunted house?
Oh, it's a beautiful place, Dad.
MR. FAYE:
It sure is.
And that is why it is so
important to me that it
stay in the family always.
Or as long as you
girls still want it.
No, Dad, we're planning
on keeping it in the family
forever, right, Kel?
Yeah, we wouldn't
have it any other way.
You have no idea how important
that is for me to hear.
Well, that's why
I want you to meet me here
tomorrow morning.
You remember Ron, my lawyer.
He just wants to
talk over a couple of important
things about
future arrangements.
You know how I hate talking
about stuff like that, Dad.
Yeah, Dad, a little morbid.
It's a party. Come on.
I'm not sick.
I promise you I'm not sick.
But I'll let you
in on a little secret.
I'm not getting
any younger either.
And ever since your mother,
I have been worried about
you being legally protected if
something were to happen to me.
Dad, nothing's gonna happen to
you.
- You're living to a 100.
- A 100, yeah.
Well, I feel spry,
and supple, and ready.
And people will pay
to see these moves.
(KELLY CHUCKLES)
No, no, no, no, no.
It's not happening.
Ow! Ow!
Oh, all right, all right.
It's cake time.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
MADELINE:
Oh, do you want my help?
MR. FAYE: No, no, no.
Your friend is helping me.
- Jackie?
- No, it's Hermia, Helen or...
I don't know.
I'm terrible with names.
But she's a wonderful girl.
All right, she's even putting on
the candles right now.
I'll get the camera.
MR. FAYE:
Here we go!
MR. FAYE & CROWD:
Happy bithday to you
Happy bithday to you
Happy bithday dear Kelly
Happy bithday to you
(BLOWS)
(CHEERING, CLAPPING)
She's 40!
What made you think
it's okay to show up at a
family event of mine uninvited?
Do you know how
inappropriate this is?
Okay, look,
I know you probably think
I'm some weird stalker now,
but it's really not
as creepy as it sounds.
Driving 200 miles to
something you are not
invited to is very creepy.
I was feeling suicidal.
You know, I had to
get out of my apartment.
I figured you'd be proud
of me that I was able to
get out of bed, break the cycle.
I know this is hard on you,
Heather.
But showing up to my sister's
birthday party uninvited?
How did you even know
where to find me?
Come on, Dr. Faye.
It's the 21st century.
You mentioned Gooseberry Beach
in our session the other day, so
I googled it.
And I figured since I have
money coming in from the
book advance, I decided I
deserve a little getaway
weekend, a little vacay, right?
So I hopped on a train
and I ended up coming here.
And then once I got into town,
I mean, it wasn't
hard tracking you down.
Hello! You're famous!
Okay, okay,
all this information
is making me really
uncomfortable right now.
I mean, you'd be surprised
at the information people
offer up if you're
just nice to them.
There were some people at
the bakery talking about a
big bash at your dad's house,
and they said you
were gonna be there.
I told them we worked together.
They gave me the address.
I didn't even have to ask.
This is insane.
I mean, I didn't lie.
Technically,
we do work together.
MADELINE: Heather, I think
it is great that you want to
travel and meet new people.
But we had an agreement.
There are boundaries.
We made a deal that we
would do this remotely,
so that could isolate myself
while I write the book.
That is my process.
So I guess I'm not
included in that process?
Of course, you are.
But I need space while I write.
So you can make money off of me,
but I'm not good enough to
vacation
in your quaint
little beach community.
Now I get it.
No, that's not it at all.
You don't want to be my friend.
MADELINE:
I want you to understand.
That I care deeply
about you as a patient.
But this book is not
about our friendship.
It is about your
bipolar disorder.
And for this to be successful,
we need to strictly
keep doctor patient.
Okay?
(SIGHS)
I'm having second thoughts.
I'm not sure I want to
do the book anymore.
(MADELINE SIGHS)
MADELINE:
Okay.
If that is what you really
want, then I will respect that.
But I would really like
you to think about this.
We have put so much time
and work into it.
HEATHER: I know.
I know. I'm sorry.
I just don't think I
have it in me, Dr. Faye.
You know, I'm gonna go
say goodbye to your dad,
and then I'll take off.
He was really nice to me.
It must be nice
having a dad like that.
I'll see ya.
Okay, Heather, just...
just wait a second.
All right?
You don't have to go right now.
Really?
Why don't you stay
and have some cake?
It did looked really good.
How about you stay at my
house tonight, and I will
take you to the
train station tomorrow.
- Deal?
- Yes, okay,
thank you so much, Dr. Faye.
This is the nicest thing
anyone's ever done for me.
Thank you, thank you.
Let's go.
Hey, good night, guys.
- Thanks for coming.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
Ronnie, you all set
for tomorrow mroning?
Yeah, I'll be there
bright and early.
Look, I want you
to know ahead of time,
these things can get a little
emotional,
so just be prepared
No, no, we'll keep it light.
It's a family meeting,
not a funeral.
Yeah, they're in for one
hell of a surprise, aren't they?
- See you in the morning.
- RON: See ya.
Thanks for the party, Dad.
Oh, happy birthday, Kal.
Thanks, dad.
- Good night, sweetheart.
- Goodnight.
Remember, tomorrow morning.
We will.
So, who's your friend?
Oh, uh, Heather.
Um, we went to grad
school together.
She used to live down
the hall, remember?
Maybe.
I mean, we partied a
lot back then, right?
(LAUGHS)
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
I'm so glad that you
could make it tonight.
I know.
This was special.
TONY:
All right, bring it in.
Nice birthday hug.
- Oh, happy birthday.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- Nice meeting you, Vinnie.
- You too bro.
Um, so we're all going to head
up an after hours after.
- You wanna come?
- No, I am going to bed.
TONY:
I'm tactile. (LAUGHS)
- Sorry.
- Later, lame squad.
(MADELINE LAUGHS)
Bye.
Looking forward to
dinner tomorrow night.
Me too.
(KISSES)
- Good night.
- TONY: Good night.
(SIGHS)

(WHIRRING)
This place is amazing, Maddy.
I'm sorry.
I mean, Dr. Fang.
It's okay.
We're not in
session right now, so.
We're just two women
having a cup of coffee.
You can call me, "Maddy".
Really?
Gee, thanks, okay.
I feel so good
right now, Dr. Fang.
I mean, Maddy.
I'm sorry I came unannounced,
but I haven't
felt this good in ages.
I'm glad you're feeling
better, Heather.
And tomorrow, we're back
to video sessions, right?
You and Tony
look great together.
Oh. Thank you, but I'm not
looking to get involved
with anyone right now, so.
Oh, come on.
You can be honest with me.
You like him.
(CHUCKLES)
Just a little bit, yes.
Aha, yes!
See, I knew it!
Ah, yes.
I'm a little different
than your other patients.
I'm like a sister to you.
And my sister deserves
a good man in her life.
I really appreciate you
saying that, Heather.
But uh, it is really important
that you respect
my personal life.
It's very inappropriate.
Because I'm your therapist.
I thought you said we're
just two women having a
cup of coffee together.
Oh, no, we are. We are.
But we still just have to
have boundaries, okay?
Understood.
Okay.
Here it is.
This room is bigger
than my whole apartment.
(CHUCKLES)
She's a brand new.
Bed should be comfy.
Bathroom's right there.
This is so nice.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
You'll be good too.
- Goodnight!
- Goodnight.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)
- What are you doing?
- What are you doing?
(SIGHS)
I heard a noise in the hallway.
I was in the kitchen
getting a glass of water.
You look like you saw a ghost.
No, I'm fine.
I'm just a little bit spooked.
(SIGHS)
I heard my door slam.
Are your windows open?
No.
The windows in the hall are.
Well, the wind probably
slammed the door shut.
Mystery solved.
Okay.
Fine then.
Back to bed.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
(WAVES CRASHING)
(STEPS REACHING)
Good morning!
- Oh.
- Made you coffee.
Thank you.
You didn't sleep much
last night, did you?
No. I uh, have a test
and turned all night.
I'm absolutely exhausted.
Look, I checked the train
schedule and it looks like
there's one leaving
in 45 minutes
and then a few that leave later.
So, can you give me
a ride to the station.
I'll just catch the early one.
Okay. Sure.
You okay?
MADELINE: Yeah. I just
think I partied too hard.
A little brain fog.
Start sipping, sister.
Oh, your phone's been ringing
off the hook all morning.
It has?
Where is it?
Oh. What time is it?
HEATHER:
A little after 10:00.
What?
- What's the matter?
- sh**t!
I had an appointment
with my sister this morning.
I'm going to be so late.
Uh, uh. Oh, God.
She's called me a hundred times.
Hang on.
So sorry.
On my way. Okay, sh**t.
Is the train station
in walking distance?
No. Do you mind if I take this
meeting and I'll uh, take you
on my way back?
HEATHER:
Yeah, no... no problem.
Take your time.
(SIGHS)
(CROW CAWING)
(TYRES SCREECHES)
MADELINE:
I am so sorry.
MR. FAYE: It's all right.
It's all right, sweetheart.
Just have a seat.
Let's do this.
We've been making
Ron wait long enough.
Oh, it's okay, Bob.
I... I guess superstars
run in their own time.
Uh, do you want to
kick things off?
Yeah.
Well, when your
mother and I moved here,
it was just a sandbar.
You know, a little town
full of surf bums.
And we always knew that
the three things we loved
were each other,
you kids, and the beach.
So, you know,
we saved our money.
And I taught surfing,
and I taught swimming,
and scuba,
and your mother
got into real estate.
And so we saved up and we bought
a little piece of the beach.
And then we bought another,
and another, and another.
And over 40 years,
we got a lot of beach property.
Nobody else wanted
it on this side of the cove.
That's where
my best friend comes in.
I trust this man,
like a brother,
to divvy it all up,
fair and square,
before I ride that
big wave into the sky.
Take it over, Ron.
You got it, Bob.
Oh, okay, here it goes.
I guess we should start
with the stock portfolio,
and then we'll make our
way to the property breakdown.
Perfect.
So, between the liquid
cash, the stock portfolio,
and all of the properties,
we're looking at a
grand total of $33.5 million.
Plus, my gold Lincoln.
$33.5-ish million.
All right, guys.
Thank you, Ron.
See ya.
Ah, 33.5.
Not bad for a beach bum, huh?
(LAUGHS)
I'm gonna head
down to the water.
Don't forget your
towel this time, Dad.
Check. This time,
I may forget the trunks.
(LAUGHS)
Bye, Dad.
I'll let you know
how the water is.
()
$33.5 million?
Yeah, I had no idea.
It's like we won
the lottery, Maddy.
Well...
Well, what?
We did.
It's our money.
The only way it's our
money is if Dad's not here.
It's not like I want
him to die, but it's inevitable.
Yeah. He will.
It's a little dark.
Well, it's different
for me, Maddy.
I didn't write a book that
sold a million copies last year.
Why does my book always
have to come up when we're
having discussions about money?
I'm very sorry.
(SIGHS)
I'm just a little
emotional right now.
That was really,
really heavy for me.
It's fine.
You wanna come back to my
house and watch a movie?
Yeah.
MADELINE:
Oh, wait. Scrap that.
I can't.
I have a therapy session.
Well, why?
I won't listen, I swear.
No, it's fine.
It's... it's gonna be a long one.
Well, I don't have
anything to do today.
(SIGHS)
Okay, you know what?
You know my friend that
was at your party last night
from grad school?
Oh, yeah.
Heather from down the hall.
You know, I really don't
remember her from before
last night.
Yeah. That's because
you never met her.
Huh?
Okay, what I am about to tell
you is strictly confidential.
And the only reason I'm telling
you is because I trust you.
But promise me you're
not gonna say anything.
- Okay, what?
- Okay, okay.
Heather is my patient.
- What?
- I know.
Why was she at my party?
That's a thing.
She kinda just showed up.
I didn't invite her.
KELLY:
She's stalking you.
This is happening
all over again.
No, she's not a stalker.
I mean, she's...
(MADELINE SIGHS)
KELLY: One of your patients
shows up at your house
uninvited at a family function.
And you don't see
that as a red flag?
Why didn't you just
tell her to leave?
Or call the police?
I didn't want to make
a scene at your party.
MADELINE:
It's fine anyway.
She's going home later.
As soon as
I get back to the house,
I'm dropping her
at the train station.
KELLY: Are you telling me
that she's at your house alone?
She's probably going
through your underwear.
MADELINE: Okay, I've
known her seven years.
She's a good person.
KELLY:
She's a crazy person.
MADELINE:
Kelly!
Is she the one you're
writing the book about?
This is strictly
confidential, Kelly,
and I cannot
tell you anything else.
- It's ill*gal.
- So she is?
I didn't say that.
You didn't have to.
Well, now I'm definitely coming.
In case she tries to kidnap you.
Okay, you know what, Kelly?
I really need to trust
that you're not gonna
say anything, okay?
Of course not.
All right, let's go.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(DOOR OPENS, CREAKS)
Hi.
Hi.
You're Jackie, right?
- Right.
- I'm Heather.
We met at the party last night.
Yeah.
Maddy stepped out,
but come on in.
She'll be back soon.
- Okay.
- (DOOR CREAKS)
Can I get you anything?
Water? Soda?
A glass of wine?
No, I'm good.
I'm doing some remodeling.
I got these swatches from
the hardware store,
and I wanted to get
Maddy's take on them.
Mind if I look?
Uh, sure.
HEATHER:
I'm sorry.
I just don't think
any of these are right.
Really?
And when it comes to color
schemes, I never lie.
Uh. You're right.
These are all trash.
Why does it have to be so damn
hard to find the right color?
Yeah, finding the
right color is highly personal.
First thing you have
to consider is the mood
you're going for.
And lighting is important, too.
You know what?
I'm going to take you up
on that glass of wine.
Thought you'd never ask.
()
I'm thinking about a lot of
mahogany for the dining room.
Classy.

Hi, uh, is Maddy home?
You're Tony, right?
Yeah, uh, and you are?
Heather, from Kelly's birthday.
Right, um, well,
I have some fish
for Madeline, so is she here?
No, she stepped out,
but she'll be back.
Come on in.
Hey, Tony!
(TONY CHUCKLES)
- Oh, Jackie's here!
- It's a party!
- Hey!
- Hey.
- You want a drink?
- Yeah, I'll take a beer.
Check out these
beautiful beasts of the sea.
- Wow, they're huge.
- Cool.
Yeah, look, and I know,
like these big ones,
they've been known to jolt
back to life after they've
been out of the
water for an hour.
- Get out!
- No, no, no, seriously, look,
you can even
hear their heartbeat.
You can just get a little
closer, just a little closer.
Ah!
(LAUGHING)
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jackie,
that scared you, didn't it?
Heather, what is that
you're pushing ahead with?"
MADELINE:
Hi, guys.
TONY:
Madeline.
I brought the goods.
I brought the swatches.
I brought the booze.
KELLY: Well, well, looks
like there's a party going on,
and we're not invited.
Well, it looks like you
guys are having some fun.
I'm sorry, Madeline,
I probably should
have called first.
No, it's fine.
So, Maddy tells me that you were
friends in grad school, right?
Yeah.
Hmm, you know,
I don't remember you.
Well, that's because
she had to leave a couple
months earlier, right?
Right, I wanted to stay,
but I had some things going on.
Is that my wine you're drinking?
Uh. Oh my God, how many
glasses have you had?
I'm sorry,
I didn't know it was yours.
I'll buy you another bottle.
Are you even
supposed to be drinking?
What?
It's fine, Kelly,
we have plenty of wine.
What do you mean,
am I supposed to be drinking?
Well, um, doesn't it
interfere with your met?
What?
Okay, you know what,
Kelly, you are mistaking
her for my old roommate,
who was having a nervous
breakdown before her
finals, remember?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, you don't
even look like her.
I mean, she was a knockout.
Tall, blonde.
What was her name again?
I forget.
Her name was Gayle.
Oh, right, Gayle.
You must think
that I'm such a snob.
I'm sorry, mistaken identity.
No, no problem.
Don't worry about it.
You know what, I... I didn't
realize how late it was.
I better get going,
I have a train to catch.
Um, I probably
should get going, too.
I smell like a fish factory.
Um, Maddy, I'll see you tonight?
Yeah.
I'm gonna get going, too.
(DOOR OPENS, CREAKS)
Hey, do you want to come with?
Um, I'm going back
to the hardware store
to get some paint
and some other things.
I'd love your input.
KELLY:
Oh, no, she can't.
She has a train to catch.
Yeah, she's right.
I already missed the first one,
but thank you for inviting me.
Just take the next one.
We'll shop first and then I'll
drop you off at the station.
Come on, it'll be fun.
Okay, well, I guess that's
one less thing for Maddy to do.
I really don't mind.
I need her.
This girl is a
walking talking HGTV show.
It'll be a disaster without her.
If you say so.
(CHUCKLES)
Thanks for the hospitality.
Later.
I can't believe
that you just did that to me.
(DOOR OPENS, SHUTS)
Relax.
Did what?
Are you kidding me?
You just put me in a
very dangerous situation.
KELLY:
Calm down, Madeline.
You're getting all
worked up for nothing.
Oh, you think that was nothing?
Kelly, you betrayed me.
Do you know that it is
ill*gal for a psychiatrist
to share her
patient's information?
I could lose my license.
I could get sued.
Not to mention she is
completely unstable right now.
She could hurt herself.
Okay, first of all,
sued for what?
I covered your a*s.
You have nothing to worry about.
Heather's not dumb.
You think
she bought my lame story?
Trust me, she didn't.
No, you trust me.
We do not need
another psycho in your life.
Haven't you learned your lesson?
She is unstable.
You said so yourself.
You should be thanking me
for getting her out of here.
You're way too nice.
Wow, I...
Okay, I can't believe
I'm in this position.
This is horrible.
KELLY:
I'm sorry that I did that.
Bring it in.

You're going to love this place.

TONY:
Easy with that, Simon.
That's salmon's going to
need a psychiatrist in a minute.
(MADELINE & TONY LAUGHS)
So, did you always want
to be a psychiatrist?
I can't remember.
No, I actually
wanted to be a vet.
And then we had to
put a family dog down,
so I was like, no.
Oh yeah, that's worse.
I um... I've been through
that a couple times, actually.
Really?
Yeah, um my um...
my last dog, Sailor.
He was my best friend.
Uh, 15 years,
took him everywhere with me.
Oh my gosh, he loved the boat.
And he was a great swimmer.
And one day, we were out
there and this pod of
dolphins comes out and swims
right in front of our boat.
And Sailor just takes off
and jumps as far as he can
and dives right in there
with the dolphins.
MADELINE:
Oh, wow.
No, it was incredible.
I mean, the dolphins
were swimming under him,
diving above him.
He's just... he's just
spinning around, barking.
He was like...
(IMITATES BARKING)
And I swear he thought he
was one of the dolphins.
Like a furry little dolphin.
(CHUCKLES)
The sad part was reminding
him he was still a dog.
The look he gave me was,
it was priceless, but
- (MADELINE CHUCKLES)
- yeah, he was a great dog.
I would love to go on
the boat with you sometime.
TONY:
Yeah, we should catch a sunset.
It's the best part of my day.
Most of the time,
it's just me out there looking
out and, you know,
there's so much to look at,
but nobody to look at it with.
Well, I'd like to see
some stuff with you.
I'd like that. Mm
This fish is delicious.
Pretty good score, I'd say.
I'm so impressed
with these colors.
Thank you so much.
I would have never thought to
pick any of this stuff myself.
Anytime.
Thanks for showing
me around town.
I mean, this place is like out
of a Norman Rockwell painting.
(CHUCKLES)
They have everything.
Can you pack this stuff up
please?
I have some time
before the train.
You hungry?
Actually,
my husband will be home soon,
so I need to get back.
Oh.
So, you said you went to
school with Maddy, right?
Uh, yeah.
Cornell or Penn?
Cornell.
Maddy didn't go to Cornell.
Listen, Heather,
I know that you're
not Maddy's old pal.

You're her patient.
And I'm really confused right
now as to what your motives are.
Madeline has been
through enough already.
Are you stalking her?
No, I'm not stalking her.
Then why did you lie to us?
Okay, look.
Yes, I am Maddy's patient.
But she didn't
want anyone to know.
I swear, that's the truth.
Did Maddy invite
you to Kelly's party?
Or did you just show up?
Well, I just showed up.
Then you are stalking her!
No, I'm not.
I love Dr. Faye.
I wouldn't hurt a
hair on her head.
See, you need to know
something about us.
Maddy was always the sweet one.
Kelly, the funny one.
I was the tough one.
So I'm calling you a cab.
I want you to get in,
get on that train,
and never come back!
Understand?
You can't tell me
what to do, Jackie.
So why don't you
mind your own business?
My friends are my business.
And I will do whatever
it takes to protect them.
Why don't you just stop
being crazy and go back to
where you came from?
Did you just call me "crazy"?
I am not crazy!
Stay away from me, psychopath.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
(ENGINE STARTS, RUMBLES)
TONY: You know, I've
lived here my whole life
and I've
never gotten tired of it.
Looking out at the bay
and watching the waves crash.
You forget how beautiful this
place is till you come back.
I thought I was a city girl,
but I don't know.
I'm very peaceful this time.
Hmm.
It's a little bit
different than the city, hm?
Uh, yeah.
(CHUCKLES)
(TONY SIGHS)
You know, we've known
each other for 30 years.
This is the first time
we've ever been alone.
Well, that's because
you never asked me on a date.
Well, I mean, I've always
been obsessed with Steve Bauer.
- It's like...
- Steve Bauer?
Are you kidding me?
Absolutely not.
Where did you hear that?
Uh, Kelly.
I mean, she said that
I had no chance with you,
because you're so
in love with Steve.
(TONY CHUCKLES)
Wait, Kelly said that?
That's so weird.
Yeah, I mean, I was, you know...
I was a little
heartbroken, actually.
I've had a crush on
you since freshman year.
Yeah, I definitely wasn't
in love with Steve Bauer.
No idea why
Kelly would say that.
No.
So you would have dated me?
Yes.
I liked you a lot.
(WATER RIPPLING)
(KISSES)
Sorry, I couldn't waste
another single day of my
life without doing that.
Don't apologize.
Let's do it again.
Come on, Maddy. Pick up.
(PHONE RINGING)
(PHONE BUZZES)
Maddy, it's me.
Listen.
I know Heather is your
patient, Kelly told me.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help it.
I confronted her.
Things got heated and I left her
on the side of the road.
She looked like she
wanted to k*ll me.
Call me ASAP.
(SIGHS)
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey, Jackie, what's up?
Kelly, you were
right about Heather.
She's a total nutbag.
She just tried to attack me.
See? I told you.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Well, Maddy says that
she's bipolar and obsessed.
Oh my God.
So creepy.
I know.
But at least she's
with Tony right now.
He'll protect her.
What?
He's meeting Larry
after dinner to play cards.
And I don't want Maddy alone.
Why not? What is it?
In case Heather
tries to do something.
Yeah, but you dropped her
off at the train station, right?
No. I told you.
She tried to k*ll me.
So I got in my car
and I took off.
(LAUGHS)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Uh, yeah.
Jackie, she is very dangerous.
I'm so glad that
you got out safely.
Now we just have a loose
cannon roaming around town.
We should call the cops
and send them to Maddy's house
just to check.
Not yet.
I think that all of those
cops, the flashing lights,
all that hoopla could be
very triggering to Maddy.
I should just go right now
and check it out myself.
Okay, just call me and
please let me know she's okay.
Absolutely.
And don't worry, I will never
let that psycho hurt my sister.
(BEEPS)
(LAUGHING)
I know.
(LAUGHING)
(MADELINE CHUCKLES)
Heather?
What are you doing here?
I'm trusted you, Dr. Faye.
I really did.
You let me down.
What are you talking about?
Does he know, too?
I bet everybody in
Gooseberry knows, right?
Knows what?
That I'm your
crazy patient lady.
Wait, she's your patient?
Heather,
he didn't know anything.
I've not said a word.
HEATHER:
You're lying.
You told everyone.
They all think
I'm some whack job.
Just when I thought you
actually cared about me!
He didn't pick up.
Message.
Hi, Daddy.
It's Kelly.
So, I am heading over
to Maddy's right now.
I don't want to upset you,
but I think that she may be
in some danger.
It's one of her patients.
So, um, anyway, could you
come and meet me at the house?
I'm really scared.
Okay. Bye.
Showtime.
Please let me explain.
Let's sit down.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Let me who it is.
Hey!
Tony!
I didn't expect you to be here.
I thought you were
playing cards with Larry still.
Yeah, well,
dinner got a little delayed.
What's up?
I just need to
talk to my sister.
Sure, come on in.
Heather!
What a surprise!
I thought we got rid of you!
Okay, Kelly,
could you come back tomorrow?
We're in the middle of
something.
KELLY:
Actually, no.
We need to talk right now.
Jackie and I
called you 50 times.
You didn't pick up.
We were worried sick.
And especially with
this one roaming around.
Okay, what just happened?
It's probably a breaker.
I'll go check it out.
()
All right, okay.
()
(GRUNTING)
Heather, if you don't mind,
I need to talk to my sister.
In private.
(STEPS FALLING)
Thanks.
Maddy, you have got to get that
woman out of this house.
And out of your life.
Forget about the book.
She's a psychopath.
Okay, she is not a psychopath.
She has a mental illness
and she is my patient.
Obviously, she is in distress.
Seriously, Maddy?
Are you the crazy one?
Kelly, you need to let
me handle this, okay?
No more. That is enough.
MADELINE: She is not
dangerous and I am fine.
I think that you should go home.
Tony is here and I
feel safe with him.
(FOOTSTEPS REACHING)
(SIGHS)
You know, I heard
everything you said, Kelly.
And I wish you wouldn't
call me a "psychopath".
It's rude.
And quite honestly,
really offensive.
You are offended by me.
Well, that's too bad,
'cause I'm protecting my sister.
Do you want to make
something of it?
Hey, Kelly!
Maddy, let me finish her.
HEATHER:
Protecting her from me?
Is that what you're
telling everyone?
I am some homicidal stalker who
wants to k*ll Dr. Faye?
Yeah, the same Dr. Faye who
has been prescribing you
crazy pills for
your entire adult life.
I think you are
the crazy one, Kelly.
You are mean, and nasty,
and jealous of Dr. Faye.
How dare you talk
to me like that?
Okay, ladies, that is enough.
HEATHER:
You are a manipulative bully.
And just for the record,
you don't scare me.
She should scare you.
(GASPS)
(GRUNTS)
Heather, quick!
I am calling 911.
Don't move.
Oh my God.
Kelly, what are you doing?
I'm in charge now.
Kelly?
Kelly, I just got your message.
I'm on my way,
sweetheart, alright?
Ten minutes. I'm coming.
(PHONE BEEPS)
MR. FAYE:
Hello?
I need the police
at 23 Seaview Lane.
Yes.
My daughter is in trouble.
Yes. 23 Seaview.
Thank you.
I don't understand.
Why would you?
Perfect little Maddy
with her perfect little life.
You never had to struggle.
You have no idea how
hard I have to work.
What are you talking about?
Of course I do.
I know what you do for Dad.
I'm trying to work out where
is all this anger coming from.
I am not one of your patients,
Maddy.
So don't try to
psychoanalyze me.
I'm not trying to.
I just... I just
don't know what is going on.
What is going on is
you got to become a
best-selling author and
you got to go to the big city.
While I was stuck here
playing Mrs. Fix-It,
and making cupcakes,
and cleaning toilets for you.
Everything has always
been about you, Maddy.
And I hate you.
You hate me?
VINNIE: Your father
should be here right now.
Where is he?
Where is your father, Kel?
Why is Dad coming here?
(LAUGHS)
Oh my God, Kelly,
what are you doing?
You've always had it so easy.
I bust my a*s for 20 years
and you expect to just
swan in here and share
everything 50/-50?
Wait, this is about Dad's money?
Brainiac,
she finally figured it out.
You are not going to hurt Dad.
Of course not.
Vinnie's gonna do it.
Tony, call the police!
VINNIE:
He can't hear you.
- Why not?
- Why?
He's dead.
Wait, you k*lled Tony?
That wasn't part of the plan.
Yeah, I know it wasn't, Kel.
I'm doing my best under
the circumstances, okay?
He kept fighting back.
What did you want me to do?
What is it with
you and this guy, huh?
What, are you like...
you're like
in love with him or something?
- Is it...
- Shut up, Vinnie!
MADELINE: He's right,
you are in love with Tony.
And that's why you hate me,
because he...
he likes me and he doesn't...
KELLY:
Shut up!
()
What are you doing, Kelly?
(PANTS)
You're not going to
get away with this.
There are cameras everywhere.
That's fine.
I studied
telecommunications in prison.
I'll wipe the camera.
(SCREAMS, GRUNTS)
KELLY:
Get off me!
(GRUNTS)
()
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,
put the g*n down!
Heather, oh my... Heather.
Heather.
- Kelly, please.
- Drop your weapon now!
(g*n THUDS)
(SIGHS)
Wait till you see
what we've done.
What do you think?
- I love it.
- Wow, wow, bravo!
HEATHER:
Look at this.
Bravo.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm so proud of you.
()
TONY:
Wooh.
Ooh, thank you.
I would like
to make a toast to Heather.
For your courage
and your bravery.
And may you stay on your path to
good health and wellness.
I am so proud of you.
And to you, Maddy.
For believing in me
and never giving up on me.
You're my hero.
Well, you saved my life.
I mean,
literally took a b*llet for me.
(LAUGHS)
Didn't hit anything vital.
Terrible shot.
(CHUCKLES)
You know, it's taken me a
while to figure this out,
but um, you really
are more than a patient.
You are my best friend.
You're my best friend, too.
Well,
as Elbert Hubbard once said,
"A friend is someone that knows
everything
about the other person.
The good and the bad.
And yet they still love them...
Cheers to you both.
HEATHER & MADELINE:
Cheers.
Maddy, Maddy, Maddy,
there you are.
What you thin of this?
It's phenomenal.
(LAUGHS)
We have Heather to
thank for all of it.
Boss, thanks.
It really isn't
that big of a deal.
MR. FAYE:
Oh, no, I speak the truth.
She meticulously selected every
detail from floor to ceiling.
Not only is she
literally a lifesaver,
but she is indispensable.
Huh, she can do anything.
Oh, no, she is a walking,
talking HGTV show.
This really is a
dream job for me.
So, thanks, you guys.
You're the best.
Well, the guests should
be arriving any minute.
So, Heather, you and I
should go take a last look
to make sure everything
is ship-shape, huh.
And make sure that the
party is ready to set sail.
Aye, aye, Captain.
(MR. FAYE CHUCKLES)
Oh, Maddy.
My Maddy.
(KISSES)
I couldn't be more proud.
My heart is full.
You did a beautiful job.
As always.
- Tony.
- TONY: Okay.
All right,
we'll see you in a bit.
So, I've been
doing some thinking.
Mm-hmm.
And, uh, decided I'm
going to stay here.
Hmm.
You know, I can't leave my dad
after everything that happened.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll write another book.
That's good.
Yeah, there's a few other
factors keeping me here.
Oh, other factors, huh?
Mm-hmm.
(CHUCKLES)
Welcome home for good, Maddy.
Thank you.
