(Music)
So
You've been awfully quiet
lately, and it's getting me worried.
Don't worry, Mom.
I can't help it.
That's what mothers do.
I know.
I was at the grocery store the other day
and I ran into your old
high school boyfriend.
What was his name again?
Darren.
Yeah, him.
Yeah, well. I actually thought the two
of you were going to end up together
and I want you to know he was more
handsome than he was 15 years ago,
And, he has his own law firm.
Mom, I didn't come
here to talk about Darren.
Well, then why are you here?
I need some money.
What do you mean you need money?
I'll pay you back.
Ella, it's not like you
to ask me for money.
The truth is I don't want to
keep going to him for money.
What is going on with you two?
I didn't see him over the holidays.
And come to think of it
I don't even know the last
time I saw your husband.
This is exactly why I
didn't want to come here.
Well, you did.
Every time I want to talk
to you about something,
I always get the opposite
of what I need to hear.
And asking for help.
Oh my gosh, it just gives
you license to judge me.
There's nothing wrong with asking for help.
And seriously,
if you need some advice,
you should go to your sister.
I'm not going to go to her for advice.
Oh my.
I told you it was a nice view, right?
Yeah, wow.
What?
What is this?
What is what?
Us.
What are we?
Steve No, Jenna.
We already talked about this.
I know I
I just this is fun. Having fun.
Me too.
So let's let's just let's have more fun.
Yeah, we can definitely do that.
I just don't know why we have to like
put a label on it, and make it serious.
I'm not saying put a label on it.
I'm just
feel like it's less fun with a label.
How?
Because and we it just gets complicated.
Well, we have we have this fun, right?
And then three months go by
and you don't answer my texts and I
don't hear from you and then
we have fun again. And it's great.
I told you when we started hooking
up that I didn't want a relationship.
I know.
I was super upfront about it.
Yeah, I'm not necessarily
saying a relationship.
I'm just
I'm I'm just saying we could have more fun.
Ok
Well, why don't we have more fun?
So, um, has he gotten all of his stuff out?
Yes.
He's completely moved out.
And how are you doing?
You're doing your
therapist thing to me again.
I am not.
Yes, you are.
Fine
Is it working?
Yes.
I'm good.
I'm good. I'm great.
It was the right decision, so
I feel great.
Don't I seem like it?
Yes.
Well, you certainly seem like you need
to start a new chapter with a new dress.
Oh my gosh, I haven't
shopped for a new dress. I can't.
I don't even know where to
begin or what I like or what to do or
That's why we have
people, theoretically, to help.
Is there anyone here?
Listen, do you ever try to
breathe more quietly going
up a hill so that strangers don't
hear you fighting for your life?
No, oh, me either.
I just, me either.
I just, funny question.
Am I free?
Tomorrow?
No, I am expensive.
I know, I just I'm hilarious.
Luanne, I will call you back.
Hello ladies.
My name is Kathryn with a K.
How may I help you?
Um, Kathryn with a K.
Kathryn with a K, yes.
This is Ella with an E.
Ella with an E.
Lovely.
She's here for a new dress.
A new dress.
Yes.
What is the occasion?
Oh, I um
well, I'm going to start performing again,
so something to sing in, looking for
Performing?
Singing?
Yeah.
Well, I will have you know
that I have also dabbled in song.
Oh wow.
Goodness.
Dabbled.
And, do you have a a a
good song dabbling dress?
Well, yes, I usually do. I just

We will find exactly what you need.
Thank you.
Yes, it's very pretty.
Very pretty indeed,
Very nice.

But doesn't really scream um new chapter.
No, it doesn't.
What we need is something
a little bit more feisty.
Yeah, yeah.
Feistier.
Ladies, we have exactly what you need.
Let's see, um
sophisticated
No, no, no no.
Feast your eyes on this fierce foxy number.
Oh
I like that actually.
What do you think?
I think it's perfect.
I love it.
Oh, ha ha
Yeah, I actually really like it.
It's really. It's like fun
and sexy or something.
I think I'll take it, right?
What do you think?
I think that it is all of
the things that you need.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to take it.
Oh
No, no, no.
Okay, because I think I'll take it.
I might steal it.
Oh
It's yours.
Perfect.
All right.
Can you wrap it for us?
Oh, well, yes I can.
Thank you.
All right.
All right.
Janet.
Looks like someone's
doing some therapy shopping.
You tricked me into being in
one of your sessions or something.
I did no such thing.
I'm in a session.
I'm shopping, therapy shopping.
But, it's working and I'm much happier.
So, thank you.
And you deserve to be much happier.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
I have tea coffee and pastries
Of course you did.
Thank you. Looks great.
How was everything?
Oh, we had a great time.
I'm sorry you couldn't be there.
You would have died.
And we just talked.
Gosh, you seem so busy.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I put it down.
Yeah, yeah, really busy.
The the app that we just released,
nobody noticed that the
graphic looked like a p*nis.
That's very unfortunate.
So now I'm just scrambling
because it's a PR nightmare and
nobody knows what to do about it.
And I'm doing everybody's job now.
And not getting any sleep.
No, not getting any sleep.
How's John?
Who?
John, the guy you've been seeing?
Oh, no, no.
No, no, no.
He was uh. He was a one and done.
You now like. He's a one night thing.
He's just a man child and I just don't
have time for someone like that in my life.
You know what I mean?
So
Um no, we're not serious.
Okay.
Cool.
I'm I have to make a call
about. Just give me one second.
I mean she if she was too busy
She knows you're going through a
lot and she wants to be here for you.
You know.
I'm sorry.
She's coming back.
I told them
that they have to take care of
it, figure it out for the next hour.
Okay, if you're too busy
to hang out right now.
Not too busy for you.
Ok ok ok
There's an open mic tonight.
You're doing it for sure, right?
We'll see.
You're gonna to go.
Okay, I'm gonna go.
I don't know, we'll see.
She is.
And to celebrate Friday night?
Yeah.
Girl's night?
Yeah, Friday.
I can do Friday.
I'm definitely bringing booze. No boys.
No boys.
Just us us.
To just us.
(slow jazz music)
What are you thinking?
I don't I don't know.
A lot of things just came to an
end in my life recently, so I'm just.
Oh yeah, what kind of things?
Marriage for one.
Been with the same guy for a
thousand years and now we're not.
And sometimes it feels
great and sometimes it sucks.
It's just a crazy f*cked up
thing. Divorce is a sh*t show
Yeah, breakups are weird.
Been there myself a couple times.
Yeah I guess we all have, huh.
Most of us.
So what do I do to feel okay?
I don't know.
Whatever you want to do.
You've earned the right.
Have I really?
Of course you have.
Whatever I want wow
that's an inspiring thought.
Go out and fly my f*cking wings.
Yeah, go out and do that.
Huh.
Well, what time are you get off?
Whenever you spread your wings.
Okay.
I walked walked right into that.
You set me up but thank you.
Oh my god I deserve that.
But seriously, I get off at two.
All right.
Okay.
Good to know.
You want another one of those?
Uh-huh.
I'm I need one if I'm waiting till two.
Thanks.
So
How do you feel?
Um. Free.
Last night was the first
time I initiated sex in ages.
Well, I for one am glad you did.
You were the closest guy around.
Thanks for that discerning pat on the back.
You bet.
Look, I'm happy you're here.
That's enough of an ego stroke, right?
Listen
I got some work you
could help me with later.
If you're free.
Looking for a little excitement?
And a quick buck.
Um
What sort of work?
Safe enough, but you know under the radar.
Okay, that sounds ill*gal or dangerous.
If I say yes,
when do I start?
You can start tonight if you're free.
I feel like I'm making some like
big unpredictable life decision here.
Maybe you are.
I don't know. I don't know
I don't know why I'm not worried about just
jumping into something blindly with a guy
I barely know.
Because you trust me.
Because this feels right.
And I think you owe it to
yourself to start living again.
Yeah, that's definitely, yeah,
that's definitely got to be it.
(singing) And I'm dreaming of a
boy, you've got me dreaming of a boy.
Hi, Mom.
Hi. Am I catching you at a bad time?
So I've been thinking a lot lately.
I think you should let me talk to him.
No, it's a done deal.
I'm getting divorced.
What do you mean you're getting divorced?
The actual divorce is in process.
Maybe you should just give yourself
some time to think about this.
Do you even know what
you're getting yourself into?
Yeah, it's a long pain in the a*s process.
Well, this explains a lot.
I mean, what now?
What are you going to do?
Do you have any friends?
Yes, I go out, try to have fun
with Jenna, Janet sometimes.
Oh, I didn't realize you
have such a vibrant social life.
Okay, yeah, I hang out alone a lot too.
Well, I'm just saying maybe you
haven't thought this through enough.
I mean, this is all happening way too fast.
I'm a free person.
I've been married since I was 20.
I'm in my thirties now. I
Well, this wasn't the conversation I
was expecting to have with you today.
Are you sure this is what you really want?
Yes, Mom, I'm sure this is what I want.
It's not like I have much of a choice.
Are you a l*sbian?
Uh Mom, you know what I got to go.
I, I got to go.
I love you.
I love you too.
Yeah, I love you too.
Bye.
I just feel like breaking out and
doing something stupid or reckless.
Okay.
Like what?
I really don't know.
Well, hanging out with me
right now is not stupid or reckless.
It's not
No, I I missed out on so much fun.
I feel like I have to like
a lot of catching up to do.
Now that I'm single.
Yeah.
You were married forever.
In a horrible relationship that
you were basically trapped in.
So
I feel like we should buy some coke.
Okay.
We won't tell Janet
because she'll hate that idea.
Don't tell Janet
But let's do that.
That's exactly what I need.
Yeah.
Oh, by the way
I finally got the guts to tell my Mom and
about the divorce and she was
like, oh, everybody has problems.
Are you sure this is what you want?
And I was like, Mom.
Yeah
This is definitely what I want.
I know.
She has no idea.
Play the field as much as possible
and see what you really like.
Okay, but I want to find somebody.
You will.
But I feel like you need this time
to just like get it out of your system.
Okay, we'll see.
You're going to take this time
to get it out of your system.
And, I want a man.
Yeah, you'll get a man.
I'm looking for a man.
You'll get a man.
Okay.
Explore everything.
(Music)
Get in here.
What do you have?
It's good, right?
What did you just do?
Let's check it out.
Oh my God.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
You're crazy, you're f*cking crazy.
What are you, what are you going to do?
Are you selling the jewelry or
Yeah, I got a guy.
You got a guy?
Yeah, actually you'd like
him if you get to meet him.
You got a guy
Yeah
Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?
Maybe a little bit of excitement.
So, do I get to keep a necklace?
That's expensive.
How are you going to pay for it?
With sex.
Well then come and get it
Oh, that was so easy.
Look at that.
You know, I'm kind of worried about Ella.
Yeah, why, is there something
we should be worried about?
I don't know. I just have this feeling.
It's nothing. It's nothing.
You know how I get
We should make you a match.
No, absolutely not.
No.
Yes.
I know you are not sexually
satisfied from that book.
Oh, come on, low blow.
We need a real man.
Or a woman, whatever you're into.
I'll help you write the bio and
choose your profile picture.
Ella is picking out my profile picture.
I'm calling her right now.
Okay.
She hasn't been answering me a lot lately.
No, I told you.
Hey, Ella, it's us.
Hi b*tch.
I need your help
because Jenna has decided to set up a
dating profile for me because she is insane.
I need you to pick up the profile
picture so that it at least, you know,
looks like me.
Okay, call me back.
I promise you. Give it 24 hours.
You're going to have so many DMs.
You won't even know what to do with them.
John, I don't even know if
I'm ready to meet the right guy.
Yeah, you are.
Ella just texted.
What she say?
She's out to eat with her new guy
Oh
She says to come meet
for drinks afterwards.
I don't know.
Yes, let's do it

I'm so excited for you to meet him.
New guy.
Yes.
We're definitely anxious to meet him.
You're going to love him.
He's a bartender and he does other stuff.
I've been sort of
helping him out a little bit.
It's really exciting. Stuff
What other stuff?
I can't really be specific about it.
No, no, no.
I took your advice.
So I'm growing and
learning to take chances.
That's that's really great, that she's,
you know, growing and
and taking chances and
Super good.
About time that you were happier.
Yes.
Yes.
I'm tired of the whole
world happier than me.
Oh God, it only feels like
that when when you're stuck.
You're just like a girlfriend already like
I it is weird.
It's a weird feeling to already
be like in a relationship, but
Especially since you were
just married for like a long time
and you didn't really like
take a break from that.
Yeah, I feel like alive
and Sean likes me happy.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh my God
Oh Sean. He's here.
Hey baby, these are my friends.

that they were coming by.
You guys, this is Sean
who I was telling you about.
Hey Sean.
Hey ladies.
Janet and Jenna.
This is my friends.
Nice to meet you.
And um yeah, I'm happy
you guys are all meeting.
Because I've been like really distracted
and not texting them back and stuff.
It's been awesome.
Yeah, no, it's totally fine.
It seems like you're
making her really happy.
Yes
Yeah, I'm glad too.
Been having a lot of fun.
Making a few bucks.
How's that?
(laughing)
It's our little secret for now.
Okay.
But we've been having a good time.
That's right, you're damn right.
Well, cheers to making
Ella smile.
Glad I'm the reason why.
Cheers to that
Can't see what we did
that was any different.
Well, you guys are friends, not lovers.
It's only so much you can do.
Wow, get vivid hot guy.
You can use your imagination.
You know, we've known Ella for like ever.
Oh, I know.
As friends.
Yeah.
What do you do for work, Sean?
You know a little
of this, a little of that.
What does that mean?
I work as a bartender.
You bartender and what?
Some work in the retail space.
All right.
Buzzkill everybody.
A little bit late in life to
be you know finding yourself.
Maybe.
But it's never too late
to rediscover yourself.
We're Bonnie and Clyde.
We rob banks.
Exactly.
We're having a great time doing it.
(laughter)
What's happening right now.
Oh, that definitely sounds profitable.
Yeah, I mean alimony, your
retail job, now robbing banks.
Ella, I guess you're
paying the bill tonight.
Hey, my luck has changed
for the better. Yours will too.
Yeah.
We're so happy for you guys.
Yes.
Definitely happy.
Thank you.
I I mean I feel like maybe we
we crashed your date a little bit.
No, no, no, no.
You guys hang out.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't you go anywhere.
Are you kidding me?
No.
I'm gonna go get another drink.
Okay.
Golly!
That's something my mom would say.
Golly!
(laughter)
Yeah.
So
How did you guys meet?
Oh, he was bar tending.
And I was being a sad sack at the bar
in my new dress.
Oh, good.
In the new dress.
Yeah
The foxy one.
The foxy dress.
Oh, you help her pick it out?
Yes she did.
Good job.
Yeah, we've um, we've been
trying to help Ella get out there.
So, glad to see it's working.
Yeah, so I was wearing my
foxy dress and I was at the bar.
And Sean was bar tending and I
asked him out and that's the way goes.
Yeah, well, that sounds amazing.
You know what?
I think Jenna's calling me over.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
We'll be here.
Yeah, okay.
(soft music)
Is it going to be another three months?
No
What?
I have to go to work.
Ok
I'll text you tonight.
You will?
Yes.
Michael?
Yeah, hi.
What, what do you need?
Yeah, I'm actually kind of busy right now.
You know, when we got divorced,
you made it very clear that uh
you didn't want to know what
was going on in my personal life.
So.
Yes, I have been dating, not that
that's any of your g*dd*mn business.
You know what, I got a call
coming in, so I've got to let you go.
Yeah.
Yeah, bye.
Sam?
Um, no.
Hi.
I love gin.
Okay.
Okay.
See you soon.
Hi Janet.
Oh wow.
Um
You look great.
That's generally something the guy says.
Clearly, I am really
bad at this kind of thing.
No, not at all.
Is outside okay?
It's a beautiful evening.
Yeah, it's it's really nice.
You look lovely.
Thank you.
Oh would you like another um
Gin and tonic.
Don't mess with perfection.
Exactly.
TV or books?
I'm sorry, what?
Given the choice would you rather
watch television or read books?
Oh
Books, but I like both.
I have a bit of an obsession with reading.
Anything good you can recommend?
That depends on what it is
that you like to read, I guess.
Honestly, I read a lot of how-to books,
but I love poetry like Poe.
Um
I like The Hobbit a lot.
You've got to be kidding me.
I love The Hobbit.
It was one of the first books that I
fell in love with as a kid
and I read it half a dozen times
when I was escaping my mother.
Thank you.
Why would you be escaping your mother?
Oh my God.
I promised that I would not turn
a date into a therapy session so
let's just say that my mom
and I didn't get along and that's
probably because the life she wanted for me
was not at all the life that I wanted for me.
So.
What's the kind of like you want?
I don't know.
Do you?
Yes.
He says without missing a beat.
It's all the how-to books.
Now you're just showing off.
(laughter)
What kind of books do you read?
Oh my god, don't tease me.
I read anything that's fiction,
historical, fantasies, sci-fi.
I have been accused of
constantly avoiding my life.
Sometimes we need that
A friendly distraction.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think me officially moved
past the drink's phase of our date.
Should we order some dinner?
Yeah, that sounds nice.
Two menus please.
So you always wanted to dance
and your mother wouldn't let you?
Oh my god among the many
things that I was not allowed to do.
Um but yeah, sometimes I feel like I'm
missed out on the life that I
was actually supposed to have.
I get that.
You do?
Yeah.
You have two choices.
We could stay here and
have a very nice desert
and continue to get to know each
other and then head our separate ways.
And the second option?
Well, uh I actually have never done this
before so I hope it doesn't come off weird.
But, I happen to be skilled at
making a very delicious crme brle
and I would love to make it for you.
No pressure, just um
thought it'd be fun next chapter.
Did you learn how to make crme
brle from one of your how to books?
Well, see now I take the offer off
the table because you know me too well.
Crme brle actually
sounds really good right now.
Yeah?
Yeah.
(edgy music)
We are doing pretty well here.
I'm floored with how busy you are.
Some weeks are better than others but I
couldn't have done it without you though.
My life has changed so much.
Good changes.
Careful now. You're inflating
an already big ego over here.
You know what?
Let's go out to dinner.
I mean look how well we're
doing. Let's go someplace nice.
Okay.
Yeah, pick a restaurant and surprise me.
Surprise you. I can do that.
Let's get out of here.
(slow Spanish guitar music)
This crme brle was
absolutely spectacular.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It was all the how-to books.
Don't let it go to your head.
Will you dance with me?
Oh, that is smooth.
Really smooth.
Uh
Yes, I will dance with you.
I'm glad you're so comfortable with me.
Yeah.
Me too.
Love is a weird thing, isn't it?
Love?
Well, this is a first date,
but dates evolve into love.
And who even knows how that happened?
I haven't found a single
book that explains it.
It's a mystery.
Yeah, it's a mystery to everybody.
I don't think
anybody really gets it.
Explains the blind first date.
Yeah, it explains why
everyone goes in the same awkward dates.
Speaking for myself, I
think it's a pretty good
way to spend my evening.
You have gorgeous eyes.
Definitely a good way to spend our time.
Doing okay over here?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Can I have another drink?
Yeah, vodka and cranberry, right?
Yeah.
Do you want me to make you a real c*ck?
It's really good. On the house.
Okay.
Coming right up.
All right.
Thank you.
So I
didn't catch your name.
I didn't give it to you.
It's true.
Well, I'm Harry and I'll
be your bartender tonight.
Hi Harry, the bartender.
How are you?
I'm good.
Are you okay?
I am great.
How's your night going?
It's good.
Alright.
Well, girl at the bar.
Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
This is really good.
Yeah?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Glad you like it.
It's my own creation.
It's it's awesome.
Sorry I'm so rude.
I'm not normally like this.
You're not?
Believe it or not.
I hate to see you on a bad day.
My name's Jenna.
Alright Jenna.
Girl at the bar. Nice to meet you.
Did you just start working here?
No, I've been here for six months.
Did you come here a lot?
Yeah, I mean this is my spot.
I guess I've been working a lot.
I've never seen you here.
I try to not come here because
I get drunk every time I come.
You know.
That's part of the allure I guess.
(laughter) Exactly.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Harry.
It's nice to meet you,
Jenna, girl at the bar.
(laughter)
Do you live in the neighborhood?
Yeah.
What about you?
Me too.
What was wrong earlier?
My friend was supposed to
be here like two hours ago.
Friend stood you up?
Yeah.
And she like isn't even responding to me.
And most people I just think like a
of course, like they're flaky, but
but she doesn't do this kind of stuff.
So I'm kind of worried.
She doesn't do that or
nobody ever does that to you.
Okay, Harry the bartender.
I'm not that kind of girl.
I mean, maybe I am.
Maybe just everybody's like this.
Maybe just everybody does exactly
what I think they're going to do.
What do you mean?
Let you down.
Have a lot of people let you down?
Isn't it obvious?
Look, I'm bartender. I hear
these kind of stories all the time.
Yours isn't the worst one I've heard yet.
You don't know my story.
You have no idea.
I don't.
You want to tell me about it?
You
How
(laughter)
You don't have enough time and
you don't need to hear my story.
I have plenty of time.
I'm supposed to close
at 2. Might close early.
If you want, open invitation. Stick around,
play some tunes, you control
it, and we'll have some drinks.
You don't have to tell me a thing.
(laughter)
Oh wow.
I feel so special.
Okay.
Let's do it, pretty boy.
(laughter)
You wanna do a shot?
(laughter)
Let's go.
Clear liquor or dark liquor?
Dark liquor.
Whiskey and start the night off right.
Starting strong.
Let's go.
I don't do this often.
It's the perfect medicine.
Cheers.
To Jenna, the girl at the bar.
To Harry, the bartender.
There you go.
Whoo hoo.
(laughter)
That was that real sh*t.
Okay.
Umm.
I love that.
I really felt that in my throat.
(laughter)
Okay.
Hi.
Hi.
Um
This was was fun for me. Um, I mean.
You were fun for me.
Looking like hell
Yeah that's exactly what I meant.
Where do we go from here?
Well, um, I go to work
in a couple of hours.
I'll walk with you.
Okay.
Where are we going?
As a couple?
Too soon to tell.
Of course it is.
Would you like a cup
of coffee before you go?
Yeah, that sounds nice. Thanks
Excellent. Please make yourself at home.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
You like your coffee black, right?
Um,
yeah, that's perfect.
Thanks.
Hi
Hi.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Brazil medium roast.
Perfect. Thanks
So I have a work email I
need to sh**t out real quick.
It'll take a minute.
Just got to go upstairs to my workroom.
You can sit down, relax,
make yourself at home.
Yeah. Uh that's perfect.
I misplaced my
my phone so I got look for that.
Been there.
I'm sure it's around here somewhere.
Just take a look, sit down,
relax and I'll be down in a minute.
Take your time.
Thanks.
How long have been awake?
Not that long.
I'm glad your friend never showed up.
I'm worried, but glad
in a selfish kind of way.
You're not worried like I am.
You really don't care, but
you're a nice distraction.
(laughter)
I do care.
About you at least.
Could you, my phone is
over there by your pants.
Would you hand it to me
and then do me a solid?
What do you need?
Can you make us coffee?
Yeah
Everything's in the kitchen.
I just I need to try her again.
Thank you.
Coffee's on, you need anything else?
f*ck.
Where are you?
Janet doesn't do things like this.
I disappear from time
to time, but but not her.
Can you make it black and
sweet? No milk, lots of sugar.
Thanks.
Can you make me a drink too,
like vodka and bring with the coffee?
Just take whatever you want.
I think I might have to call into work.
I'm going to file a police report.
Here you go Jenna.
Thank you.
You're scared aren't you?
Yeah
I am.
Hi, I um I have an emergency.
My friend is she's been missing
for over a day and I what do I do?
Yeah, yeah.
I can find you.
Okay.
I'll be there in a few hours.
What they say?
They said I have to go
in and file a police report.
You want company?
Thank you.
I appreciate that a lot.
(heavy breathing)
(banging door)
Hello.
Can somebody hear me?
(rapid breathing)
Let me out!
(banging door)
(fatigued breathing)
(hyperventilation)
Janet.
Sam?
Please remain calm.
Where are we?
I need to go home.
I understand you want to go home
right now, but that's not possible.
You'll be comfortable here.
I'll take great care of you.
I promise.
You'll take great care of me.
I don't.
Janet,
I'm a collector.
A collector?
Yes.
What do you collect?
Things that I care about.
Am I a thing?
Yes.
A very special beautiful thing.
Sam, that is not collecting.
This is kidnapping.
You'll learn to love it here, so
relax, make yourself at home.
I've done what I can to make
it feel comfortable for you.
Sam, you have to let me go.
This is insane.
You have everything you need here.
We can plan food later, whatever you like.
As if I would ever eat or
drink anything from you ever.
That is how I ended up here, isn't it?
Are you going to k*ll me?
No, of course not, Janet.
I love you.
Okay.
I don't know if that is a good thing.
Just try and accept the situation.
How exactly am I supposed to accept being
the victim of some
psychopathic crazy person?
Really that's what you think of me?
After everything we shared together?
(Laughter)
As if you actually care what I think.
I'm far from crazy.
Every serial k*ller says that
they all think that they're normal.
You don't have to be scared of me.
You've locked me in a room where thankfully
I have some of my things, but still a
locked door so forgive me for not
feeling the least bit f*cking relieved.
I'll be back later with food for you.
If you let me out, I won't fight you.
I swear.
Yes, you would.
I'm sorry, but the door
is necessary the way it is.
How about you read for a
little while and I'll be back later?
(Light music)
That place was really good.
Ooh, yeah.
See all the people in that
place? It's a f*cking gold mine.
Yeah.
What are you doing today?
I got a couple things I got to do
tonight, but will do something after?
Oh yeah.
That works out because um yeah
I have work tonight anyway so.
Perfect we'll connect after.
Yeah.
You gonna call me?
Yeah.
What?
I love you.
I love you too.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, come on, have a great night tonight.
Okay.
Great night date.
It'll be good.
Come on.
Does your friend usually go missing like
this or is that typical behavior for her?
No, we're the wild cards, not Janet.
And the police are useless.
They say the first 72 hours of a missing
person's case is the most important.
Or they say that on Law and Order. So,
I'm not going to stand here and do nothing.
But seriously, what else
can we do to find her?
I don't mind getting
my hands a little dirty.
I think she went on a first
date with the guy she met online.
So, I say we break into our apartment and
see if we can find something, a name, a
phone number and address, literally anything.
Good.
Well, how do we get in cause
I can get us in.
No need.
I have her keys.
I stayed there when this place
was being renovated, but thank you.
Okay.
So you guys are breaking in.
You needed company?
You are so sweet.
No, thank you.
But I'll call you when we're done, okay?
Alright
Be careful.
Where's your laptop?
God, her place looks great.
It always looks great.
Where's her stupid laptop?
Hey, I like that Harry guy.
Yeah, he's cool.
Found it.
Amazing.
Can you get into that?
She's a treky her password's Jim Kirk.
Oh, that totally makes sense.
Here we go. Sam
five five five one eight seven six.
Maybe she's with that guy.
He's cute, right?
She might be like maybe
she got lucky with this guy and
she's just with him and ran off
with him got all dickmatized and.
You know she doesn't do stuff like that.
She would have told us.
I guess that's true.
Hello?
Hi um
My name is Jenna McKean. Uh
you went out with my friend last
and she's missing now.
So, uh I was hoping you could give me
some info that might help us find her.
Her name's Janet, she was
supposed to go on a date with you and
then meet up with me afterwards
and she never showed up.
I was hoping if you had some
info cause we got nothing.
Well, we had a couple of drinks had
what I thought was a really good time.
We left things open for a second date,
but that's the last I've heard from her.
I hope everything's okay.
Just low key for a date?
Yes, yes it was.
Did you did you see anyone or anything that
might seem like a red flag?
No, nothing at all.
I actually had a really good time.
Okay.
I, I need you to think really
hard right now because my friend
is missing and you were the last person
that saw her now I'm not blaming you.
I'm just saying that you were her last contact
with the world that we know of right now and
I just
I just need you to think
really hard about anything
you might be forgetting
or anything that could help.
Of course.
I'll call you if I remember anything.
I promise.
I really hope she's okay.
I really like Janet.
I was hoping we'd get together again soon.
If you remember anything,
please call me back.
Of course.
Jenna McKean.
Hum
What did he, he doesn't remember?
He doesn't know anything
She just left the date?
No, they finished the
date and she went home.
Which, she was
going to meet me afterwards so
there's no way she just went home.
Someone must have taken
her or something like that.
Like what if what if her her ex-husband?
I was just going to say kidnapped
her or something like that.
Well, we shouldn't we should
call him or we should do something.
I don't even know.
And the police are f*cking useless.
I should definitely talk
to Sean about about this.
What is Sean going to do?
Well, he knows people and
might know something about this.
About miss, about about missing
about missing people or things.
I don't I can't call her a missing person.
I guess let's ask him.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, let's get out of here.
Oh my God.
Wait up.
(ominous music)
Would you like my company?
Ah, that depends.
Are you going to handcuff me or something?
I wasn't planning on it.
Do I have to?
I don't know.
Depends on what you're going to do to me.
I'm not gonna hurt you if
that's what you're worried about.
What do you want?
I already told you.
I want you to have everything you want.
Except freedom.
By your definition, yes, except that.
Well,
We're at an impasse and I
think this is going to be short visit.
You play chess?
Yes.
Let's see what you got.
You'll get used to this.
Have you done this with other women?
That's not important.
I'd really like to know, so it is.
I'm like you, like most people.
I want the things I can't have.
That's your excuse for keeping me here?
It's just a fact of life.
Not every one is kidnapped
and stuck in a cage.
Janet, this isn't a cage.
What would you call it?
Our home.
(chess pieces crashing)
I should leave before you hurt me.
You could hurt me because you're
angry and you don't understand.
I get that, but for now I should go
before something bad happens to us.
Please tell me what you want to eat later.
I don't want to eat until I leave here.
Or until you accept the situation.
That's not going to happen.
Call me when you're ready.
She hasn't posted it
anything on social media.
Maybe we'll get lucky with the Sam guy.
You said he sounded normal.
Yeah, but how can you tell
from a three minute conversation?
Sean will be there when I get home.
You guys are practically living together.
Yeah, he's around me a lot.
I like it.
I like him.
That's good.
You deserve this.
I'm shuffling men around like cards.
Janet went on a date and was
seemingly abducted by aliens.
Where the f*ck is she?
I almost started online dating before Sean.
I don't think online dating's the problem.
I think people are the problem and there
are really shitty people who
are on online dating apps.
I locked out with my guy.
I mean, I only know what you tell
me and like what I saw the other night
and he seems okay.
Oh my god.
He seems okay?
Yeah, he's like a little bit sketchy.
He's cute, but he's he's kind of sketchy.
No?
Oh my god.
I like that.
I like that about him.
Okay.
I support that.
Okay.
I support you and your sketchy boyfriend.
(laughter)
Oh my god.
Well, your guy, your nice,
really nice guy boyfriend.
He's not my boyfriend.
Oh whatever.
Thank you.
You like him?
Yeah.
Like nice.
Yeah, seems like a nice guy.
He's hot, right?
Uh huh, he's definitely hot.
Yeah.
I like him.
For you.
Okay.
I don't know, maybe I'll keep him around.
(laughter)
I don't know what's happening right now.
I feel really weird going
to this guy's house.
What else do you want to do?
Well, we we should, we
should get the cops to do it.
We already called the cops and
the cops aren't doing anything.
Okay?
This is our job now.
This guy did something to Janet.
I f*cking know it.
He's literally her last
connection to the world right now.
You don't think that's
a little bit suspicious?
I do, I agree with you, actually.
I actually do.
That's why we're doing
this, but I'm gonna let Sean
Jesus.
I'm gonna let Sean know.
What's with you and this f*cking guy?
I'm gonna let him know
that I'm busy right now.
What do you mean?
You have to tell him everything?
I'm letting him know that I
look, if this guy is creepy,
I wanna let him know where I
am and maybe he can help us.
I can't.
I'm sorry, I really
I cannot believe you hate Sean this much.
You don't even know him.
He's actually a great guy.
I would love if he actually
told me what he does for work.
I would love to know that he's not
getting you into trouble, because right
now I feel like he's probably
getting you into trouble.
I hate that he might put
you in a bad situation.
Well, I really appreciate that.
Thank you for looking out for me.
Harry seems really cool too, really nice.
Really, like nice.
You know?
I'm so f*cked up right now.
I guess we're coming up on his house.
I'm so f*cked up.
All right.
(loud knock on door)
(loud knock on door)
(loud knock on door)
Hi.
Can I help you?
We talked on the phone.
I'm Jenna.
This is Ella.
Hi.
Hi, Janet's friend.
Yes.
Yeah, we wanted to meet you
in-person and talk face to face.
Of course, I understand.
We just uh, we wanted to, to
hear some information from you.
Well, we already talked and unfortunately
my information hasn't changed.
Yeah.
So, I'm really skeptical about that.
So, how about you help me fix that?
I understand, uh very stressful.
I told you if there's anything I
remembered, I would let you know.
Definitely don't believe you.
So right now you're telling
me you went on a date with our
friend and now she's just missing
and you have nothing to do with it.
You know nothing about it.
Jenna, come on now, just a second.
Janet's really important to us.
I understand.
I was hoping she'd
become important to me too.
Did she give you any
indication of that happening?
It was a very low key first date.
Just wanted to take things slow.
We left things open to
possibly continue, but no.
What, did she reject you when you got mad?
No, honestly. Um we just
had a really good feeling.
It's all about that you know, feeling.
Yeah.
Definitely all about that feeling.
Okay, well I really do have
to get back to work inside.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
I mean guess not.
That would be it.
But you know how to reach me
and you know where to find me.
Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Thank you.
Yeah we'll go.
Anytime, please.
And just feel free to text me.
Let me know when you're coming, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Sounds good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Goodbye.
How are you doing?
Fine, I guess.
It's been three days Janet.
I need you to eat something.
I made you a vegetable medley.
I want to talk with you.
I'll always talk with you.
I want my questions answered.
Very well.
Plate of food for a question. Eat.
Where'd you grow up?
A bite first and then I answer.
You know what?
I don't know if I'm actually hungry.
All right.
All right.
I grew up in New York.
What kind of work do you do?
Tech support.
Network security, troubleshooting.
I usually work remotely from home.
What was it like for you growing up?
Take a bite.
I was close to my mother.
I took care of her a lot.
What was she like as a mother?
She was very loving.
Where is she now?
She passed several years ago.
That must have been hard.
It was.
What about your father?
I never knew him. Anything else?
What makes you happy?
You.
I'm all done.
Please go.
As you wish.
I love you, Janet.
I know.
So, did you figure it out? Is
that watermelon or raspberry?
It's sparkling ros.
Sparkling ros.
Where are the sparkles? Right here, right?
Uh-huh.
No, I mean we've been
having a good time right?
Yeah
Doing good together
Speaking of which, I got
another job for us next week.
Yeah, out on Long island.
Kinda like last time.
I need a wheel man.
Can't think of anyone better.
Really?
I would love to.
We'll get you another
necklace while we're out there.
Thanks.
Sean
Okay, do you remember when you met
my friends the other night Jenna and Janet?
Yeah yeah, the two Js.
Well,
Janet's been missing.
We're really worried about her.
She just hasn't been like
responding to any text messages or
phone calls and Jenna is freaking out.
She's called the cops and everything.
Are the cops looking for her?
Yeah, the cops are looking for
her but we're super impatient
and Jenna found out who she
went on the last date with this
guy Sam evidently and
we went to his house and
anyway he just seemed really off like
What do you mean off?
Just really weird and Jenna is
convinced this guy knows where Janet is.
It sounds crazy when I say it out loud,
but we're going to go back there and
I could use some backup.
So you want me to help?
Yeah.
All right.
f*ck it, yeah let's do it.
Yeah, you'll help us?
It'll be fun.
It'll be exciting.
Yeah okay good.
Good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Sean's going to be here in five minutes.
Good.
Are we doing the right thing?
Yes.
She's here.
I can feel it.
Okay.
All right.
One black and sweet.
Thank you so much.
Of course.
Smells great.
Thank you. Brazil, medium roast.
So
What are the questions today?
As I mentioned before, we had a couple
of drinks at that bar in Williamsburg.
We had a really nice time.
I did walk with her to the
subway, and on the platform
I told her I had a really, really good time
and she said she did too and I've
just been waiting for her call since.
Do you think about calling her?
Of course I did, many times.
But Janet seems to be the type of
woman to want to take things slow so.
I didn't want to come off too strong.
That's so thoughtful.
Seems like you know her really well.
If I can be frank with you, I know
I didn't know Janet that long
and we only met for that one date,
but after I left I felt like I knew her.
Interesting.
Come on, wake up.
(loud bang)
What was that?
You have a dog?
Um is there anything else I
can assist you with today?
Sounded like a really big cat.
Um has anybody ever told you
you have the most beautiful eyes.
Um yes once by
Janet, actually, on our date.
Janet said that to you.
Wow, that's what a coincidence.
Yeah. Um oh,
(door crashes down)
Jenna, that's Janet.
Don't move as*h*le.
Nice eyes.
Oh my god.
How are we doing, baby?
Sean.
Come here. Grab this g*n.
Yes.
Put your finger on the trigger
and keep it pointed at him, all right?
I got her head.
Is she ok?
Wake up, wake up.
She's ok.
I got the cops coming.
You keep the g*n trained on him.
And if he moves, you sh**t him.
Okay, okay, okay bye.
I love you.
Oh my God, I love you.
Sean, thank you Sean.
Alright
Don't you f*cking move. He can't
stay here because of the cops.
She's going to be fine.
She'll come to in about five
hours if my estimate's correct.
What are you talking about?
I gave her a slightly
larger dose of rohypnol.
What?
It's a standard roofie.
I never hurt her.
You have hurt her.
We're in love.
Nobody loves you.
You loser.
That's why you literally
had to trap someone.
You're going to jail
for a long f*cking time.
So I hope she was worth it.
Don't you f*cking move.
Don't move.
That was awesome.
I can't believe I finally did it.
I finally sang out in front of people.
You were incredible.
Thank you so much for coming.
It means a lot.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
You were amazing.
Thank you.
Of course.
And
Sean's not that bad.
I said it.
You said it.
No, he's not he's not too bad, is he?
And
He's great.
If
I might add, I think he showed
up in your life at the exact
right time for me.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes.
I was so glad he was there that night.
Oh my gosh, what a nightmare.
Yeah, let's not think about that.
My therapist has
recommended taking Krav Maga.
Oh, great.
I've been wanting to do that.
Really?
Uh huh
I start on Thursdays.
I'm coming with you.
Yeah
Awesome
Yeah, and uh my therapist may
or may not have mentioned that um
I should consider
trying to figure out my
life and what I want instead
of helping everybody
else figure out their lives.
So I will be working on that too.
That's great Janet.
Really.
You guys, I love you.
I love you guys.
Cheers.
Yes.
So there's something
that I need to say to you.
About what?
Well
You've been very sensitive lately.
Go on.
And I want you to know
that I'm here to talk to
you and be there for you,
though I know I'm not
always your first choice.
Mom, if this is about seeking
forgiveness, I forgive you.
No, no, no.
It's more than that.
I just couldn't wrap my head
around why you wanted this divorce.
And I realize now it wasn't working for you
and this is what you want.
When your father and I got divorced,
I found my way and you will too.
Ironically, I've never felt more alive.
I've,
I've met someone already
and I think I'm in love.
Oh god, Ella.
Mom, I knew you wouldn't understand.
I'm sorry, you're right.
But, can we just back up a bit?
When did you realize
things were going wrong?
Mom, we just we grew apart.
I became a stranger in my own home,
and my life was passing me by.
So, there wasn't a fight?
No
Was there an affair?
No, nothing like that happened.
He worked so much and
our relationship changed.
Yes, he took care of
me, but I felt alone and
the more successful he got,
the more alienated I became.
I didn't know who I was and he said he didn't
want to do it anymore and it was final.
All right.
I get it.
You did the best you
could in that situation.
I could have done more,
but it wouldn't have mattered.
He'd never be the
husband I needed him to be, and I'd
never be the wife that he needed me to be
I get it, you don't need that sh*t
I'm liking the new Ella.
You do?
Ever since you're a little
girl, you were very special.
And stubborn.
Ok, well yeah. Thank you.
I appreciate that.
And this could be the
best chapter in your life.
But it's up to you, honey.
Consider this a small bump in the road.
There are worse mistakes a
person could make, I should know.
I think I agree with that.
Thanks Mom.
It's ok.
