Why are they talking
to you about Savannah?

G, there's something
I have to tell you.

I slept with Savannah.

Should I make us
all some coffee?

No, no.
Thank you.

What's going on?

Dad took out
one of my rental boats

the night
that Mom went missing.

- Did he tell you?
- No.

I found out
from the security logs.

Do you not remember
what he did to me?


- Troy.
- Oh, come on.


Oh, no, you just
conveniently forgot

our entire childhood.
- Stop it.

No, to you,
he's just some nice guy

who's passionate
about f*cking tennis.

Hey, how are you holding up?

Uh, same.

when you took state--

unbelievable.

Must have been
some match, hm?

Hey, why did you stop playing?

Oh, right, yeah, your ankle.

Yeah, I think you told me

something about that
the other night.

Mm.
[groans]

Anyone else need a refill?

Um, I could use some more
of those spicy nuts.

Thanks, hon.

[TV drones]

You want a beer?

Nah, I'm good.

- Oof.
- [sighs]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[flutters tongue]

[TV drones]

Hey.

I brought the money.

It's time to go.

Mm.
I'm having second thoughts.

You--[scoffs]

You're having second thoughts
about $40,000?

What is that,
a day's work for you?

That's not the point.
A deal--

a deal is a deal.

[chuckles]

Hey, have you tried these?
They're really good.

So you think Jukich can
climb out of this set?

Hope so.

Mom, you know we know
about Savannah.

Everybody knows.

No one thinks
she's a bad person.

We just think it's time.

A friend of Gina's owns
this little spot in Sarasota.

They're looking for waitstaff.

Okay,
you're all overreacting.

Joy, you need to listen
to your children

and realize
you're being irrational.

I'm Harry Haddad.

If I have to listen
to this f*cking commercial

one more time--
- Dad.

Why did he fire you, Stan?

You don't talk about it.

I mean, no one
in this family talks about.

It's like some big, dark secret
looming over everything.

Savannah,

I hate to be
the bearer of bad news,

but, uh, we have decided

that it is time that you--
- Stan, dr-drop it.

Is it?
Is it some big, dark secret

why Harry fired you?
- Savannah.

- Why do you care?
- Why are even here?

I don't know.
Simple curiosity maybe.

Every time his name comes up,
you all just freeze

like scared little cats
in the woods.

It's--it's funny.

Were you bad at your job, Stan?

Did he know you couldn't
take him all the way?

Did you do something?

No, I was not bad at my job.

I could have made him
the best player in the world.

Jesus Christ, here we go.
Strap in.

Then this kid got in the way,

and here we are.

Yeah, well, got in the way
of your backhand.

Guys, really?

You know what?
Honestly, I'm just tired

of cleaning up messes
for this family, truly.

So, um, good luck.
I'm out.

Oh, Troy, come on, come on.

- It's fine, it's fine.
- "Clean up our messes."

What mess
did you clean up exactly

that you didn't
start yourself, huh?

- Stan.
- Are you kidding me?

Do you want a list, Dad?

The second mortgage
on this house,

the maintenance bills
at the academy--

and this house...
- All right, all right.

We know you're rich, Troy.
- The last two years

of Brooke's school...
- Troy.

- Your retirement party...
- Troy, stop!

- The trip to Wimbledon...
- We know you're rich, Troy.

- Mom's car.
- We know you're rich.

- You want me to keep going?
- But it doesn't mean

what you think it means.
- No?

- Stan.
- It doesn't make you a man.

Okay, all right.
You know what?

Uh, if I hadn't gone to Garces
and suggested he buy you out,

you'd be swimming
in so much debt

that you'd have
lost the house by now, Dad.

[chuckling] Oh, so you told
Garces to buy us out?

Yes.
Yeah, 'cause that thing's

a f*cking money pit.

And then you go to poor Logan

and try to get him to buy it.

Don't bring me into this.

You're in it, man.

That thing was our legacy,

and you destroyed it.

And as everyone
in this family knows,

if you hadn't lost your sh*t
over the fact

that Harry was
a better player than you,

I would have been
in his coaching box

at every major championship,

and I would have never needed
a cent from you ever.

He was not better than me.
He was not better than me.

Those serves were in,
and I won that match.

He's a cheater, Dad.

He is a cheater.

Cheater?
That's good coming from you.

What about your marriage?
Does that count?

- Oh, hey.
- Troy!

- Stop, stop.
- Troy! Troy!

Troy! Troy! Troy!
[overlapping shouting]

Stan, I did it.
Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stan, stop it!
I did it, okay?

I did it!

I made Harry leave you!

Stan, look at me!

For f*ck's sake!

I did it!

It wasn't Troy!

Mom,
what are you talking about?

I called Harry's dad.

I told him Harry needed
a better coach

if he ever was gonna make it
to a Grand Slam.

You had me fired?

- Yes!
- You?

Yes, I did!

God, it was our dream, Joy.

It was our dream...

- No.
- To raise a champion.

No, it was you!

You were obsessed.

Harry mattered more to you
than anything.

No.

Stan, you hit my son!

Ah, Jesus.

I had to do something.

Why didn't any of you
tell us this before?

Uh, I don't know.
I don't know.

It was a while ago, and, um,

my mom was desperate
for us to forget it.

You know, protecting our dad is
in our f*cked-up DNA, you know?

Logan likes to call us
Team Delaney,

but, uh, I think
we're more of a cult.

So Stan, your father,

he never really forgave
your mom, did he?

Stan Delaney
does not forgive.

He files things away,
and he stews.

[ardent piano music]

- Thank you.
- Sure.

We'll, uh, be in touch.

Okay.

♪ ♪

Well, now we know
Stan Delaney's motive.

Yeah, but is it enough
for the DA, you think,

without a body?

[sighs]

♪ ♪

Hey.

Hey, Troy.

What's up?

Those cops came
to my house today, and, uh--

and I told them everything.

I told them why you've been
angry with Mom for months.

And I told them why you've been
angry with me for years.

And I told them
what I think you're capable of.

[spluttering]
And I told them

that I wish I'd been able
to save her from you

like she saved, uh, me.

So I-I just thought
I should come here

and tell you in person.

I thought I should come here
and tell you in person

like a man.

Like a man.
