(dramatic music)
[Patricia Voiceover] Why did he do it?
Well, that's the million
dollar question, isn't it?
I've heard people say he must
have loved to hurt animals,
or he must have been beaten by his parents,
to do what he did.
But Marcia and Burt
weren't the kind of people
that would hit their child.
He was just another quiet kid.
I've had a lot of kids like that
in my Sunday School classes over the years.
Most of those kids grew
up to be doctors and lawyers
and have families of their own.
None of those other kids
ever m*rder*d their parents.
[Patricia Voiceover] It
was Thanksgiving of 1994,
and I was making a pie
to take over to my sister's
when I heard a scream coming from next door
at the Callaways.
Even before I stepped into that house,
I got some sort of feeling
that something wasn't right.
That scream didn't sound like Marcia
and her car wasn't in the driveway.
(door knocking)
Crispen was the first one I saw.
I asked him where his parents were
and he didn't say a thing,
just kept staring at the wall.
It was like I didn't even exist.
(dramatic music)
Once I got to the kitchen,
that's when I saw it.
(dramatic music)
It was Bert,
he'd been chopped into little pieces
and shoved into a trash bag.
And the other one wasn't Marcia.
It was, it looked like that
girl Angela something.
You know, one of one of
Bert's students students,
Marcia told me that they
were having an affair.
About that time Marcia
showed up and saw everything.
(dramatic music)
They put Crispen in
one of those funny farms.
Anyway, I'd still see
Marcia from time to time,
and until she moved away.
Must've been hard on her,
you know, living in that same house.
Can't say as I blame her.
Getting through to Crispen
became her whole life.
And she didn't have
time for any other patients.
Not that they were exactly
lined up around the block.
I mean, who wants to
hire the child psychologist
who raised the kid who hacked up two people
with a meat cleaver?
She blamed herself for everything.
Bert's affairs the way Crispen turned out.
Lord knows she wasn't the only one.
(dramatic music)
It wasn't easy for her
being known as the woman
who birthed the Trash Man.
It must have k*lled her to know
that she could get through to so many kids,
but not her own son.
She stuck with Crispen for nine years.
Eventually she gave up.
She wanted to move on,
so she suggested that they ship Crispen off
to another facility, one that
he couldn't get away from.
If she couldn't make him better,
she'd make sure that he
couldn't hurt anyone else again.
We all know it didn't
exactly work out that way.
(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic music)
Oh, the old escaped
mental patient chestnut.
Let me guess, after he escaped,
he stalked babysitters in
a William Shatner mask,
and then he lost a hand
and had to get a hook screwed into the nub,
and he terrorized sex crazed
teenagers on Lover's Lane.
Make fun of it all you want to,
doesn't make it any less true.
Is this something we're
gonna have to disclose
to potential buyers
that they're buying the
house of a m*rder*r.
The house of the mother of a m*rder*r.
It's very different.
It's not like anybody died in the house,
other than her, and that was
just a boring old heart attack.
I'm sure it wasn't a boring
old heart attack to her.
I still can't believe you've never heard
about the Trash Man.
Well, I didn't grow up here like you did.
And if you would've told me
how my marriage would've ended,
I probably wouldn't be
here in the first place.
Okay, so he escaped, then what?
You don't wanna know.
I don't?
It'll just freak you out.
I am a 40-year-old
woman, recently divorced,
and I just joined Tinder.
Nothing's gonna freak me out.
After he broke out, he
k*lled a nurse and stole her car,
and then he came back home.
But his mother never told him
that she had already moved in here,
and there was a new family
living in the house where he grew up.
He k*lled 'em all and he chopped
'em up with a meat cleaver
and he took the parts he
liked with him in a trash bag.
And after that, he went around door to door
knocking three times, goom, goom, goom.
When they'd come out, he'd size 'em up
and see if there was a part he wanted.
And if they had something,
then he'd find a way inside
and then he'd chop them up too.
I guess, since he couldn't find his family,
he decided he would make a new one,
you know, piece by piece.
The police found the bag,
deserted at the end of the night
in the backyard of one of the crime scenes.
Maybe he found his mother,
maybe his mother found him.
Either way disappeared, nobody
knows where he went off to.
But some say that every
Thanksgiving Crispen comes back out,
cleaver dripping with blood,
looking for more people to
help him complete his family,
a family that will stay
forever and never leave him.
So if you hear him knocking three times,
don't open the door.
You might have a part he
wants to add to the family.
(dramatic music)
So you hungry?
(both laughing)
There's this great Chinese
place right down the road.
Claire has Bobby for the
weekend, so I'm fending for myself.
But if you'd like to join me.
I know you, you probably
already have other plans,
- but if you don't.
- I do.
It involves a lean cuisine
and a bottle of wine.
And if I get really frisky,
I might run myself a bath
and dust off my Pure Mood CD.
It's cool, I just figured I'd ask.
Chinese food sounds better though.
Cool.
Let me go finish this up
and then we'll get there before they close.
Okay, okay.
But don't go skipping
on the inspection now.
We don't need any surprise issues.
This house has enough problems as it is.
So, I mean, what do you
think happened to Crispen?
I mean, where's he been all these years?
Is he living in a sewer?
Is he underneath a pedophiles pizza place,
reading Hillary Clinton's emails?
Where is he?
Honestly, I think his
mom found him that night
and k*lled him.
He's probably buried underneath the house.
10 minutes.
(insects chirping)
You've heard the rhyme, right,
"He knocks three times,
you'd best say your prayers."
"Yes, those are his
footprints climbing your stairs."
"He'll chop you once,
he'll chop you twice."
"Answer the door and pay the price."
Creepy, huh?
(tablet ringing)
Oh sh*t.
(tablet ringing)
You said you were
going to call an hour ago.
You just missed your father,
he's passed out in his chair.
I'm sorry, I've been
with the home inspector
trying to check out this house and.
Is this the one with the cute but
you were telling me about?
Ma.
(dramatic music)
Okie doke.
It's not a date,
it's two people eating
Chinese food on Thanksgiving.
You know, that's how your aunt Becky
met her third husband.
Seriously.
(dramatic music)
I told him last month
that he shouldn't be driving.
(dramatic music)
Well he decided he just had to have
some Blue Bell chocolate ice cream.
(dramatic music)
At about 3:45 I get
this call from the police
and they tell me that your father.
Mom, can I call you back?
I get it, you wanna get
ready for your big date.
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
Is that him?
Oh, he must be done.
Let me call you when I get home.
I'll be asleep.
Call me tomorrow.
Okay.
Love you.
Love you too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Tim, you through?
Sorry, forgot I had to call my mom back.
Does this place have any booze?
I could really use a big
gulp of wine right now.
So my mom thinks, thinks
we're going on a date.
Can you believe that?
I mean, this isn't a date.
I mean, unless you wanted it to be a date.
Just wanna get all the
cards out on the table
so that there's no confusion later.
(dramatic music)
Tim.
(dog barking)
(insects chirping)
Tim.
(Avery screaming)
(dramatic music)
[Meredith] Oh, I'm so tired,
making more room in the
fridge for all the leftovers.
Although there's not
much of that crab dip left.
Do they like it, you made it?
Yeah, that crab dip was a big hit.
Mike's mom even liked it.
You know how picky she can be?
[Meredith] Oh no.
Yeah, I can't wait for
her to go home tomorrow.
I can't keep sneaking cigarettes like this.
It's making my anxiety flare up.
[Meredith] Ciggies again?
Yeah.
[Meredith] I told you to quit.
Hey Meredith, let me call you back.
(birds chirping)
Some idiot left their trash
in my driveway again.
- Oh, Lord.
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(Susanna screaming)
(dramatic music)
(Caroline gasping)
[Voice] Caroline,
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline.
(dramatic music)
(Caroline screaming)
(birds chirping)
Oh, Caroline, you
sure her one crazy b*tch.
(Caroline laughing)
I would like to send this back.
It was too fishy.
The fish was too fishy?
Ma'am, we can't send something
back that you already ate.
I'm not paying for this fish.
Ma'am, that's the policy.
If you had a problem with the meal,
you should have come to someone earlier
while you still had food on your plate.
Well, that's ridiculous.
Where's your manager?
Do you know who my husband is?
I will call him right
now and he will say this.
(Justin ears humming)
Hello, are you listening to me?
Ma'am, I am so sorry.
If you'd like something else to eat,
I'd be more than happy
to get you another order,
but you will have to pay for it.
I can take it from here, Justin.
What seems to be the trouble, ma'am?
[Customer] That you hire idiots like him?
[Mother Voiceover] I
am so proud of you, baby.
I'm gonna tell everyone my daughter
got straight A's all semester.
That she's the smartest
girl in that school.
(gentle music)
What are you planning on
using that for Caroline, hmm?
You're planning on going
out there and getting yourself
another married man to
take you away from me.
Well that'll sure make
our family look great.
But you don't care about that, do you?
You don't care about what happens to me.
(door knocking)
Caroline.
(Caroline gasping)
Oh.
It's me, Marita.
Hi.
How are you holding up?
Um, well.
Well just know that you and Justin
are still in our prayers at church.
(dramatic music)
I've got just the thing to cheer you up.
I've got all of these samples.
I'll just come on in.
(dramatic music)
Hey.
Is there any toilet paper down here?
The ladies room upstairs is out.
What you got there?
Having a little party without me.
Oh, this?
No, this, I just, I just
found this actually,
I don't know what's been going on,
someone must be having
a big party down here
when no one's watching.
My money's on Renata. You
should have seen her last night
at the Thanksgiving
party, she got hammered.
But can do a surprisingly solid
Stevie Nicks impersonation.
Who knew?
I'm, I'm sorry I couldn't be there.
I was gonna call, but, you know,
things got kind of complicated.
My mom sort of, she needed me so.
Well, I can't say I
wasn't a little bummed,
but you can always make it up to me.
Okay, we can't, we can't do that here.
What if someone were to walk in?
Come in and watch, yeah.
- Oh my God.
- Well, what about tonight?
My roommate's out of town, Colorado.
We can be as loud as we want.
Which we could do all the time,
if you would just move in with me.
I don't know.
My mom is really going
through a lot right now,
and she needs me to be there tonight,
so I should probably just stay with her.
You know, I'm just gonna
quit asking one day, Justin.
(gentle music)
Okay, fine.
But just be a little more subtle.
I mean, I think people are starting
to get kind of suspicious.
I will start being subtle
when you stop looking so damn delicious.
My God, you gotta stop.
Justin.
Oh m*therf*cker, yeah hi.
I need to see you for a minute.
- I'll take that for you.
- Oh no, I've got it.
No I'm going this way.
I'll throw it away, there's
a can, right over here.
Okay, yeah.
I'll see you later.
Thanks.
Oh, now this one is my favorite, I think.
It smells like Christmas.
So that way if you wanna
get a fake Christmas tree,
you can just spray this everywhere
and it'll seem like the real thing.
(Marita speaking indistinctly)
Caroline.
Oh.
Huh?
I'm no good at this, am I?
I mean, first the Mary Kay and now this.
I've only made $57 in the last four months,
and that was from three
ladies at the book club at church.
No, no, no, no, I've been
cleaning out mama's room
like you said I should do.
And I, I don't know,
I'm just in a weird place.
Just makes it more real.
It's like she's really gone.
There were so many
things I wanted to say to her,
but now I know that's never gonna happen.
Have you thought
about writing her a letter?
Well, that'd be some pricey postage.
(both laughing)
No, you don't have to send it.
You can just write down all the things
that you never got to tell her.
I mean, that's what I
did when my daddy died.
Do you want me to pick up that stuff
and take it to Goodwill on
Monday when I get back?
You still hadn't told Hope?
No.
Oh, she would k*ll me.
She still thinks I'm too weak
in order to get out of
bed and enjoy my life.
Are you gonna be a good girl while I'm gone
and get those steps in?
I'm just so scared, I won't
even recognize it out there.
It's been so long.
Maybe mama was right and I just
don't fit in out there
anymore, if I ever did.
All you have to think about is making it
to the end of your driveway.
I mean, think of all this
stuff you're missing out on,
just being in here.
Oh, sure, like w*r crimes
and famine and t*rrorists
and people who don't
use their turn signals.
Come on, there has
to be something out there
that you miss.
I do miss the Christmas lights.
Justin takes pictures of them every year
and makes them into a little slides how
and we watch 'em on
TV, but it's not the same.
Yeah, yeah, I guess I do miss that.
I would like to see the
Christmas lights again.
Well, if there's one thing I learned
is that you cannot assume
that you're gonna have more time
to do all those things that you loved.
I mean, it took cancer for me to realize
that I could be a blonde.
It gave me the courage.
I mean, I think I pull
it off well, don't you?
(Marita laughing)
Life is too short to not go
and enjoy the Christmas lights.
You don't think I've noticed, do you?
I've been watching you.
I've been watching you the last few months.
First one to get here every morning,
last one to leave every night.
I don't know if you know this or not,
but we have another
restaurant in Hattiesburg
and there was this whole lot of drama.
(Justin ears whistling)
Anyway, they called me to see
if I had anyone I could
suggest for that position.
And I want to know if you're interested.
Me?
Yeah, I mean, the pay is good.
It's a good location.
Full benefits after six months.
But I'd have to move?
Well, yeah, would that be a problem?
No, no.
Oh, that's great.
Okay, I'm gonna call Anna and I'll get it.
(gentle music)
Just because you have the hots
for that Peter Brady looking m*therf*cker
does not mean that
he's any less of a weirdo.
His mom too.
When you don't leave
the house for 20 years,
that usually indicates
that there's something
pretty serious going on.
I mean, should have seen it coming,
considering her mom
was pretty f*cking nuts too.
I remember when I was in the second grade,
she tried to have the
Harry Potter books band
'cause she said they would unleash demons
and turn us into witches.
And then she crashed
your car into a building
going like 80 miles per
hour, for Christ's sake.
[Leo] Now you're just making sh*t up.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's the truth.
My mom told me she figured
if she paralyzed herself,
her daughter could never leave her.
You know, like a little insurance policy.
Yeah, didn't you also tell me
your mom dabbled in
Scientology back in the '90s.
Maybe you should take her
opinion with a grain of salt.
(toilet flushing)
He didn't wash his hands.
See, crazy.
You're such a d*ck.
Just remember one step at a time, okay.
And you have fun.
Don't tell Hope though.
Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(car engine revving)
(heartbeat thumping)
[Mother Voiceover] Just pray, Caroline.
(dogs barking)
(Caroline moaning)
If you prayed on it, you'll
be able to go out there.
A true believer would be
able to get past that porch.
(dramatic music)
(police sirens blaring)
(dramatic music)
[Officer Hansen Voiceover] Ms. Caldwell.
Ms. Caldwell, this is Officer Hansen.
Your son called us Ms. Caldwell.
Ms. Caldwell, I need you to come out now.
It's safe to come out Ms. Caldwell.
Come with me, you're gonna be fine,
you're gonna be safe I promise.
(police sirens blaring)
No one's gonna hurt you.
(police sirens blaring)
(dramatic music)
(police sirens blaring)
(dramatic music)
- Mom.
- Oh, oh.
Oh my God, you scared me.
Why are you always creeping like that?
Did you just make it past the porch?
(both laughing)
Oh my God.
(gentle music)
So have they started putting
out the Christmas lights yet?
Just a few.
I think they'll probably put
out some more by next week.
Well, we should go see 'em.
Okay, I'll take some pictures
and make a slides how in a few weeks.
I thought maybe we
could go see 'em in person.
[Reporter] In some way, odd or strange.
But this is different.
Are you serious?
[Reporter] Have problems over own?
Okay, yeah, sure.
I'll take off some time from work,
I'll look at my schedule and,
Mom where are the knives.
[Reporter] Slip and it was almost like
she forgot she was in public.
Okay, so we have got
a knife from the garage,
from the living room, from the bathroom,
and now from under the bed.
Any more you wanna tell me about?
Nope.
I just get nervous when you're not here.
Mom, what would you do if I wasn't here?
Why are you going somewhere?
No, no, no, it was a hypothetical thing,
like if I was to be hit by a
car or a truck, you know,
what would you do?
My God, Justin, I don't
even want to think about that.
And I just don't want to think about you
being stuck here all by yourself.
I wanna make sure that
there's gonna be someone here
that can take care of you.
That's why I'm glad I got you.
(Caroline laughing)
Oh and I've got some
trash for you to take down
before you leave.
Just a second.
(gentle music)
[Reporter] Channel four News.
Breaking news in Jackson
with the dismembered
bodies of realtor Avery Price
and Home Inspector Tim Hamilton
were found by neighbor Susanna Morrison,
early this morning.
Sources close to the victim tell us
that Price and Hamilton were both
well liked in the community.
Price, a former resident of Louisiana
volunteered for Stewpot on the weekends,
and Hamilton was a beloved
coach of his son's T-Ball league.
And she was just in there,
in the bag, in the driveway,
all chopped up.
[Reporter] But it said the victims
were inspecting the home of Marcia Nichols,
widow, sheriff Robert Nichols and other.
So do you think you might want to
put up the Christmas tree this week too?
Did you hear that?
They found her in a trash bag, Justin.
That can't be a coincidence.
While I will admit it's
in the realm of possibility.
You have to remember, Mom, he disappeared.
Okay, they've never found him.
It's been two decades.
Just please don't call the police
every time you hear a weird noise.
Don't barricade the
doors or hoard the cutlery.
(Justin laughing)
That was a bad joke, I'm sorry.
Okay.
Do you think you need to see a therapist?
Oh no, no, Justin.
You know, good and well how Grammy felt
about those kinds of people.
Yeah, well, Grammy was
wrong about a lot of things.
I just, I just want you to be happy.
And I know dad would want that too,
Ryan too, I think he would also want that.
Well, I better get going,
I'm gonna be late, so.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Why don't you call him sick
and we can watch old movies
and make popcorn and.
Mom, it's Black Friday, they need me.
I just, I just want you to be safe.
We have security.
Well, what about the trash?
Well, you made it past the porch.
You can make it to the end of the driveway.
You know what, lemme take it.
No, no, you, you, you
are right, I should do it.
I can do it.
I'm so proud of you, Mom.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
go, I'll be back tonight.
Okay.
- I love you.
- I love you.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
(car horns honking)
(Justin ear whistling)
(car horn honking)
Yeah, hey, can you spend
the night over here tonight?
No, honey, I told you Beau's
gonna pick me up at seven.
What's, what's wrong?
Did you hear the news?
They found two people who were.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I hate to do this, but
this is Hope calling me
and I really need to get this.
Bye.
Hi baby.
Just wanted to check to
make sure you took all your meds.
[Marita] I did.
Hey, have you seen that blue top
you got me for Christmas last year?
The blue top?
No, I haven't.
I can check when I get
back home to see if I have it.
Why?
[Marita] No reason.
I thought I'll let you borrow it.
Anyway, I'll see you soon.
Bye.
Bye.
You know you are turning
into a helicopter daughter.
Maybe this weekend
isn't such a good idea.
I mean, what if I leave my mom and she.
What if your mom does this?
What if your mom does that?
Look, I love the outta your mom Hope,
but he gotta let her live her life.
Plus I already rented the
Airbnb for this weekend
and Dave just called and he just told me
that he got time off work just to meet you.
You mean time off
from his wife and two kids?
How thoughtful.
Stop being so Pentecostal.
I just, I don't get what you see in him.
Maturity.
Plus he pays,
plus he's got a massive, huge.
Oh, gross.
Oh, I guess I'm taking
the rest of my food to go.
Men aren't scary, Hope.
You know, if you ever
took your vag out of park
and took it for a drive around the block,
you'd know that.
You can be lonely in your 80s.
You have to live your
life while you're young.
(birds chirping)
If I end up regretting
this, I'm gonna k*ll you.
That will be fine.
That will be fine.
Now, I have some errands
to run before the gig tonight,
but I'll be back to pick
you up at 6:30, okay.
Okay.
All right.
And you better be passed when I get there.
[Hope] I will.
All right, 6:30, all right, bye.
And my vag is perfectly
fine in park, thank you.
(car engines revving)
Hello.
(cellphone vibrating)
Hello.
Hey, do you have that
blue top I let you borrow?
Probably, why?
[Paige] Why are you whispering?
There's some guy here, I
have no idea who the f*ck he is.
You think it'd be rude to kick him out?
I don't even remember his
name, which is kind of skanky.
(door knocking)
[Paige] Girl, you better
hope that's not your parents.
(birds chirping)
All right, no package.
Maybe it was just a really impatient
Jehovah's Witness or something.
[Paige] Maybe it was the Trash Man.
Okay, you know, I
hate it when you do that.
It's weird enough living in
the house where he grew up in.
I don't need any of that, okay.
[Paige] You do have
the top though, right?
What top?
Girl, did you just bake?
The blue top.
Oh yeah, the blue top.
Um, I know, oh, I know
exactly where it is, yep.
Yeah, no, it's fine,
I've got it right here.
[Paige] You didn't stain it, did you?
No, nope, of course not.
Come on, gimme some credit.
I can, I can bring it to
you tonight at the show.
[Paige] Actually, I sort of
need it before I pick up Hope.
I'll come over right now
- and pick it up.
- No, you don't, no,
I've still got stuff to pack
and you wanted me to pick up snacks
and got random guys to kick outta my bed,
so maybe I could.
[Paige] You stained
the blouse, didn't you?
Yeah, okay, maybe
a little, but it's fine.
I'm watching it right now, I promise.
[Paige] Whatever.
I'll just come by before I pick Hope up.
Surprised she's still talking to you
after telling her about Jake?
[Paige] That's because I didn't tell her.
I think it's better if it's a surprise.
Oh, okay, so you're dragging
her to the middle of nowhere
and trapping her in a
cabin with some random guy
for a whole weekend.
Yeah, I don't see anything
going wrong with that at all.
[Paige] I'm bringing her some premium,
grade A frat boy meat, okay.
And I'll make sure I have an escape plan
in case things get crazy.
- She'll thank me later.
- Listen, I'm gonna
put a key under the mat
in case I've gone to the
store when you get here, okay.
[Paige] Okay, love ya.
Love you.
Bye.
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(shower water pattering)
(dramatic music)
Oh, good morning.
Yeah, it's like 3:00 p.m.
Oh sh*t, for real?
[Nicki] Yeah.
Must've really had
a lot to drink last night.
Yeah, that makes two of us.
Listen, champ, I've got
kind of a big night tonight
and I really hate to do
this, but could you like,
you know, could you?
Leave?
Yes.
No problem, I got you.
Thanks buddy.
Hey, think you wanna
do this again sometime?
Sure.
Might be nice to remember it this time.
No offense, I'm sure you were great.
None taken.
But hey, if you need a refresher,
I'm sure the shower's big
enough for the two of us.
No, no thank you.
But hey, leave me your
number and I'll give you a call.
(shower water pattering)
sh*t, what was her name again?
(upbeat music)
The night for, night for
(upbeat music)
Nicolette.

Don't let my heart grow cold

Oh, come on.
Don't tell me you're asleep again.
Come on, get up.
(birds chirping)
Dude, seriously.
Okay, I'm gonna go get dressed
and when I get back you better be gone.
(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)
(gentle music)
[Mother Voiceover] Why would you
want to go out there, Caroline?
They think you are crazy.
You should hear the things
like that say about you.
Why would you want to see people like that?
(dramatic music)
They never found him, Caroline.
Don't you think he might
be acting waiting for you?
(dramatic music)
Stay here with me.
I'm not gonna let him hurt you.
Mama's not gonna let him get her baby.
(dramatic music)
You couldn't even make
it to my funeral, Caroline.
What makes you think
you could make it out there?
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(dramatic music)
Whoa.
Man, you okay?
Fine, yeah.
Are there more chairs in the basement?
We need three more for
that big football party upstairs.
Yeah, I'll go get 'em.
No, no, I got it.
No, I can get it.
Just relax, I got it.
Jesus f*cking Christ,
Leo, let me get the chairs.
Please.
Is this about what Zach
said in the bathroom?
I'm sorry you heard that.
You know how he is.
No, I've just had a
really, really weird day.
Well, we can talk about it tonight.
I don't, I don't think
that's a really good idea.
I should probably get back home after work.
I'm not really feeling that
good, I've got a headache.
Oh, oh, this is, cold and flu season,
can never be too careful.
(Justin giggling) - All
right, so you're sure
you don't need help with the chairs?
I'm fine, I got it.
I'll see you later.
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
Hey, you decent?
I hope not.
(door closing)
Hello.
I know you're here.
Saw your car, b*tch.
Thanks a lot, Nicki.
(cellphone vibrating)
Hey, sexy.
[Dave] How's my girl?
Well, I'll be better once I see you.
[Dave] Look, I can't come
to the cabin this weekend.
Huh?
What do you mean?
I thought everything
was a go for this weekend.
[Dave] My kids have this thing
and I need to be there for them.
No, I get it.
You should probably be spending
Thanksgiving weekend with them.
[Dave] Are you mad?
No.
No, I'm not mad.
[Dave] How about next Thursday?
Okay, well, I'll see you
Thursday, next Thursday.
Love you.
[Dave] Bye.
Bye.
Hey.
Hey b*tch get up, call's at seven,
get your freshly f*cked a*s out of bed.
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
(neighbor screaming)
[Wife] What happened?
[Neighbor] I stumped my f*cking toe.
(wife laughing)
Don't you f*cking laugh at me.
(wife laughing)
Shut up.
[Wife] Don't you tell me to shut up.
Don't you f*cking dare tell me to shut up.
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
(car engine revving)
[Radio Host] For our
annual Deck the Hall sale,
we've got everything you
need for a merry Christmas.
We have free delivery,
but we can't guarantee
we can fit all this stuff on the trailer.
Stylish, traditional or rustic.
(car engines revving)
(gentle music)
(insects chirping)
You took your pills for tonight, right?
No, when you weren't
looking I spit them out.
Then I'm gonna get a spoon
and tunnel my way out of here
as soon as you leave.
I don't appreciate the sarcasm.
Will you stop it?
You need to go, have fun.
Have some drinks, meet
a stranger, do some meth.
Catch an STD, be a normal kid.
That's Paige.
The emergency contact list.
- Is on the fridge, yeah.
Mom, please be safe, okay.
And if you start feeling sick.
I'm gonna start feeling
sick if you don't leave.
I'm gonna be okay, baby, I promise.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
You actually packed.
How long did it take you to convince her?
About 45 minutes.
Hope, is that my blue
blouse I've been looking for?
Oh, is this the blouse you wanted?
I'm sorry, it's a little wet.
I didn't have time to.
Here you go.
At least it's not ripped.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Stop apologizing.
I'm just glad you did something rebellious.
I'll call you when I get there.
Throw caution to the wind and don't.
Bye Ms. Ellington.
Bye.
[Mother Voiceover] Can't
think of anything to say
about the woman who gave
birth to you and housed you
and kept you fed.
Not even a simple thank you.
What will you bring to the world, Caroline?
You're selfish.
(dramatic music)
I already told you, okay.
I checked the cheeseburgers
and two of them had everything on it,
but they were supposed
to just have pickles.
Sir, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, we will fix that right now.
If you could just have a seat right there.
We will have new ones
out in 10 to 15 minutes.
You people already had me
wait 30 minutes when I got here.
Now you want me to wait another 15.
Sir, I am, I'm so sorry.
We are understaffed
right now in the kitchen,
but I apologize for any inconvenience.
This is bullshit.
Where's the manager?
Sir, we don't need to
bring my manager into this.
If you can just have a seat right there.
I said, where is your manager?
(dramatic music)
(Justin ears whistling)
(dramatic music)
Are you crazy?
Leave me the f*ck alone.
(people speaking indistinctly)
Sir, if you would please
have a seat over there.
We'll get your
cheeseburgers out in no time.
Wanna tell me what happened?
I snapped.
I'm sorry.
(Justin laughing)
Yeah, someone said you
had alcohol on your breath.
Who would say that?
It doesn't matter who said it.
It was Zach, wasn't it?
Well, you should know that I
heard from one of the cooks
that they saw him at a club last weekend.
You know, I don't care
if Zach was getting fisted
by 12 tap dancing raccoons okay.
As long as he wasn't doing
it wearing the company logo.
Well, I wasn't intoxicated.
Oh, okay, um, wanna
take a breathalyzer test?
(people speaking indistinctly)
I am worried about you, Justin.
Have I been pushing you too hard?
I know you have a bunch
of sick days saved up,
so maybe you should just
take a break or a little vacation.
This job is my vacation.
(people speaking indistinctly)
I don't think I'm gonna
be able to recommend you
for the Hattiesburg position.
I'm sorry.
Maybe in a few months or in a year
you'll be in a better place
and something else will come along
that I could recommend you for.
No, I'm in a great place.
I'm in a fantastic place.
I feel great, I feel so good.
I want to do this, I know I can do this.
I can't take that risk.
I'm sorry.
But do you need someone to talk to?
Because I have a therapist
that I can recommend,
and she was fabulous
working with me and my divorce.
I don't need a f*cking therapist, Renata.
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry.
I shouldn't have said.
- I think you need to leave.
Now.
Leave now.
(people speaking indistinctly)
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
(Caroline panting)
(dramatic music)
[Mother Voiceover] ] There's
nothing out there Caroline.
Why don't you stay inside?
You'll never make it Caroline.
You don't wanna leave me
here all by myself, do you?
What sort of daughter would do that?

(door knocking)
I'll be right there.
Marita, this past year
has been better than,
better than anything I would expect
at this stage in our lives.
(dramatic music)
I wanna start over.
(dramatic music)
Marita, I want you to
know that if you marry me,
I'll make sure that you're safe and.
Hi there, Marita.
Hey you hungry?
I thought we could have a little food
before we get on the road.
Is that what I think it is?
I've been craving their
chicken parm all week.
Yay.
Come in.
(Beau exhaling)
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
(cellphone vibrating)
(dramatic music)
Relax.
The toddler at Table 9 just
got a little ketchup at me.
If it's any consolation,
that guy totally had it coming.
Hey, what's going on?
I want to help, but you've gotta let me in.
You gotta tell me what's going on.
You wouldn't understand.
Oh, yeah.
You wanna bet.
(dramatic music)
Let's see, what did I forget?
(insects chirping)
(door knocking)
Beau, can you get that?
Sure.
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
There's nobody out here.
(dramatic music)
(cellphone vibrating)
Haven't got time for the pain.
(cellphone vibrating)
Pick up.
Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up.
(insects chirping)

(insects chirping)
(cellphone vibrating)
Marita, this last year, has
been the greatest year of my.
(dramatic music)
[Marita Voiceover] Hi,
you've reached Marita.
Oh sh*t.
Marita,
you're the greatest woman I've ever met.
And the thought of living
the rest of my life without you
makes me want to jump off a bridge
or stick my head in the oven.
Oh geez.
(cellphone vibrating)
(dramatic music)
Marita, I like to ask you a question.
And what would that be?
One garlic, one garlic knot or two?
One.
I'm gonna go grab another suitcase.
What are you packing
for, a trip to Europe?
We're only gonna be there for two days.
(cellphone vibrating)
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
(dramatic music)
(Marita screaming)
(cellphone vibrating)
I knew she would f*ck this up for us.
She's a Sagittarius.
They are so irresponsible.
(people speaking indistinctly)
My mom's not picking up.
I'm sure she's fine,
Hope, you know, try to focus.
I don't know, maybe
try calling Nicki again.
You said she was asleep
when you went over there?
Yeah, with some random guy.
Probably got too high and passed out.
Well, you don't think he kidnapped her
or something, do you?
I don't know.
Either way, we go on in 15 minutes.
It's gonna be kind of
hard without a lead singer.
(people speaking indistinctly)
(dramatic music)
(cellphone vibrating)
(dramatic music)
(glass tapping)
My brother and I, we
used to drive by here
with our parents, and we would look out,
we would see all the
people going in and their furs
and all that stuff.
And we just thought they
looked so sophisticated.
We thought this place was so classy.
And, and we made a pact
that when we were old enough,
we would go in, we would get a drink.
So dumb.
I mean, that was our big dream.
I mean, aim a little higher kids, right.
(Leo laughing)
You never told me you have a brother.
Had, past tense.
(people speaking indistinctly)
Is that the reason that your
mom doesn't leave the house?
I'm sorry, that was rude.
I just hear people talk
and I'm curious, you know.
You mean, no one's ever
told you about the Trash Man.
Is that like a Mafia boss or something?
I'd finish that drink if I were you.
(dramatic music)
(glass tapping)
Yes, I'd like to report someone
lurking around my property.
I'm at 5135 Kensington Avenue.
[Police Officer] Ms.
Caldwell, is that you?
Yes, yes.
I saw a man.
He was peeking in my neighbor's window.
He saw me and he.
[Police Officer] Ms. Caldwell,
this isn't one of your pranks again, is it?
No.
No, I'm telling you, I saw a man.
I know it was him.
It was the Trash Man, Crispen,
Crispen Callaway, he's back.
[Police Officer] Oh my
God, she's talking about
the trash guy again.
(police officers laughing)
We'll send a car out when
we have one available.
Try to stay inside and stay safe, ma'am.
(Caroline screaming)
[Mother Voiceover] I told
you, no one's gonna believe you,
not about anything.
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
Marita.
(gentle upbeat music)
You okay?
(gentle upbeat music)
(insects chirping)
Food's getting cold.
(dramatic music)
(washer whirring)
(dramatic music)
(Beau screaming)
(dramatic music)
(Beau screaming)
Word's gonna travel, you know.
My mom's still not picking up.
Hope, your mom is fine.
Right now our band is
flushing down the toilet.
Maybe we should just forget
about everything this weekend.
I have a really bad feeling about all this.
Excuse me, I paid
good money for that cabin.
And we are going, even
if it's just the three of us.
The three of us?
(insects chirping)
I wanted it to be a surprise.
You remember Jake from the show last week?
Oh God, what'd you do?
Nothing.
I just thought it would be fun
if we invited him for the weekend.
You two really hit it off.
Yeah, enough to have a
seven minute conversation
after a show.
Not enough to be
trapped in a cabin with him
for an entire weekend.
Well, it's the thought that counts.
Next time, get me a gift card.
Come on, let's go back.
Go back?
I don't wanna go to the cabin anymore.
Not until I check on my mom.
You are so ungrateful.
There was this, this one time,
it was the summer before fourth grade,
and I was at Vacation Bible School.
And there was this kid there,
this real as*h*le, Brady Green.
He would call me every name in the book,
you know, sissy, q*eer, f*g,
all the fun ones, you know,
all the greatest hits for
four easy payments of 19.99.
And one day he just pushed
me really hard and I fell,
I skinned my knee.
And I got back home and Ryan looked at that
and he said, "What happened?"
And I said, well, this kid,
Brady Green, he pushed me.
So the next day he goes
with my mom to drop me off.
And he says, "Which one is Brady?"
And I point him out and he walks over
and he just, he grabs him
by the collar and he says,
"If you've ever touched my brother again,"
"I will take your ba*ls
and I will just rip 'em off"
"and shove 'em down your throat."
A little extreme, but I mean,
he did kinda learned the lesson.
He sounds great.
It was Thanksgiving
2003 when he, you know.
And one of Ryan's friends called and said,
"Do you wanna go to the movies?"
And he told my parents he was gonna go see,
"The Cat In The Hat."
But that was a lie.
'Cause he told me he was
gonna go see, "Gothika."
And I was so jealous.
I said, you need to take
me with you. And he said, no.
I was too young.
So I had to just make do
watching TV in my room
while my parents passed out.
And I must have passed out too,
because it was about 10 o'clock at night
when I woke up to the sound of this,
these three loud knocks on the door.
(door knocking)
And I heard this crashing sound.
And so I opened the door
and I walked into the hallway
and I saw that the front
door was wide open,
just letting all the cool air in.
And there were these, these drops of blood.
And I saw that the blood
kept going down the hall
towards the kitchen.
And I thought, well, Ryan probably came in
and he broke something and he cut his foot.
And so I went towards the kitchen
totally expecting to see him,
you know, bandaging up his foot,
and we'd have a big laugh about it, right.
And I opened the door
and Ryan was in there,
he was, he was in there,
he was, he was on the floor,
and he was just covered in blood.
And I looked up and there was this man,
and this guy just turns,
and he stares at me.
And it was like, I was in a nightmare.
It was, and that's what I thought at first,
I thought, this has to be a nightmare.
And I couldn't move.
It was like my legs wouldn't
work, my arms wouldn't work.
And I looked down and Ryan was there,
he was looking at me and he was pleading.
But I could feel my legs going backwards.
And before I knew it, I had,
I had run out of the house
and I went down the street
and banged on a neighbor's,
a neighbor's door.
I didn't,
I didn't do anything.
You were 13, what
were you supposed to do?
Something, you know, I could have,
I could have broken a vase
and smashed it into his neck.
I could have,
I could have threatened
to cut off his ba*ls
the way that Ryan did to Brady.
You know, I could have,
I could've done the thing
that he would've done for me
if the roles had been reversed.
Justin, you can't
blame yourself for that.
You never know how you're gonna react
in a situation like that.
I didn't even warn my parents.
I didn't warn my own parents.
I just ran out.
And the police got there and
they found my dad, he was dead.
And my mom was barricaded
in a closet, losing her mind.
And the guy that did it, well, he was,
he was long gone by that point.
And you think it was the Trash Man?
Oh, I know it was.
(dramatic music)
[Mother Voiceover] What are you
writing about me, Caroline, hmm?
You making up lies,
just like the ones you
told that husband of yours?
You just couldn't wait to get away from me.
But look how soon you came
crawling back after he died.
Stop it, mama.
[Mother Voiceover] It's
because you are weak, Caroline.
Your body was weak and
your faith is even weaker.
No wonder God tests you.
Please mama, just let me finish this.
[Mother Voiceover] I always
had to help you, Caroline.
Who was there for you and no one else
would take you in, hmm?
I put a roof over you in
that child's head, didn't I?
After everything I've done
for you and that little boy,
you wanna make your mother out to be
some sort of monster, don't you?
People already think that,
mama, you don't need my help.
And you wanna know why?
Because you were a f*cking b*tch.
That's what drove me
away in the first place.
Why do you think I
escaped with Steven, hmm?
'Cause the thought I'd spent
in the rest of my life with you
made me sick.
In fact it was the worst
mistake I ever made in my life.
I should have taken Justin
and found a slum, a gutter,
anywhere but back here with you.
[Mother Voiceover]
You probably couldn't have
even found the gutter if
it was right in front of you.
You were always a little
on the slow side, Caroline.
You were lucky to have me.
(dramatic music)
Lucky?
What part of that was lucky, huh?
The part where you said
no job would have me
because of my panic attacks?
That I was fat and ugly and getting
more and more ancient every day?
That no man would have a
crazy woman and her weird child
that couldn't even make it
to the garbage cans outside?
(Caroline laughing)
Oh yeah, mama, I'm sure
people were lining up outside
to have you as their mother.
[Mother Voiceover]
You ungrateful little b*tch.
You're nothing without me, Caroline.
No mama, I was nothing with you.
Just the way you wanted it.
Well, not anymore.
(dramatic music)
And so we had to move
back in with my grammy,
which didn't help her at all.
I'm really all she's had.
Well, who are you gonna
have when she's gone?
It's my fault.
It's my fault that she's this way.
If I left, I don't know
what would happen to her.
You know? I don't know
if she could pay the bills,
if she could figure out how to get food.
I don't think I could live with myself.
Justin, you're not really living now.
Well, I guess you can start running.
- What?
- I mean, I wouldn't blame you
if you didn't wanna be
associated with me anymore.
I mean, I'm kind of a piece of sh*t, so.
Is that what you're worried
about, scaring me off?
I think it's a pretty
rational fear, don't you?
I do not scare that easy.
(dramatic music)
Look, it's been a hell of a day.
Why don't you come stay with me tonight?
(dramatic music)
I should probably get home.
Why don't you let me drive you?
You've had a good bit to drink.
Yeah, so have you.
I'll be fine.
Forgot your wallet.
(insects chirping)
(dogs barking)
Mom, are you awake.
Well, she's now.
Mom.
Ooh.
Ooh, okay.
Aw, poor Jake.
Mom, are you okay?
Hey, Jake, it's Paige.
Yeah look, I gotta tell
you about this weekend.
There's been a change of plans.
(dogs barking)
Well, I'm glad you understand it.
It is just like this dog was
a member of the family
and she just needs some time to grieve.
(dogs barking)
Okay.
Hey, can I, can I call you back?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll tell
her that you're praying for her.
Okay, bye.

(insects chirping)
I hope that wherever
you are, you have the peace
you so desperately craved in this lifetime.
As much as you hurt me,
I think you deserve that.
[Mother Voiceover] He's
come back for you, Caroline.
Just like I told you he would.

You're gonna be fine.
Oh please.
You're not ready to
go, please stay with me.

Please, please stay with me.
We haven't seen the Christmas lights.
We gotta see the Christmas lights, please.
Oh, please stay with me.

Oh no.
No baby, please no.
(Caroline crying)
(dramatic music)
(Caroline crying)
Justin.
Justin.
You forgot your wallet.
No, no, I didn't mean to.
I thought it was, I thought it was him.
No, no.
No, no, no wait, it's not
safe, he's still out there.
I won't tell anybody.
[Mother Voiceover] Gonna
take you away now, Caroline.

Oh.
Oh.
