[dark music]
Yeah, it's just me tonight.
That's exactly what
I said to Gary.
[thunder cracks]
Whoa.
Yeah, all the lights
just went out.
No, no, I'm good.
Are you still good to hang out
when I get home?
[bell on door jingles]
[scoffs]
Why not?
Sorry, I've got a customer.
One sec.
You can take a seat.
I'll be right with you.
No, I'm okay.
So, wait, what?
What does,
"Zordok is rising" mean?
So, it's a video game thing.
Yeah, Brendan, stop saying
Zordok is rising.
I don't care that
Zordok is rising.
[scoffs]
I just want you to want
to spend time with me.
Not that stupid game.
[huffs]
Okay, you know what?
Screw you and screw your game
and screw Zordok.
Actually, you know what? No.
I hope you and Zordok
are very happy together,
and I hope you're happy
in your new relationship.
Congrats to you and Zordok.
[call beeps off]
[sighs]
[tense music]
Hey, sorry about that.
Can I grab you anything
to eat or...
What are you watching?
[ominous beat]
[coffee burbles]
Please.
[screams]
[glass shatters]
[rain pattering]
[gentle music]
[indistinct echoing voices]
[sighs]
[football game
plays in background]
[birds chirping]
Caf.
Une tasse de caf. Je voud...
Je voudrais une tasse
de caf, s'il vous plait.
Je voudrais...
Voulez-vous coucher
avec moi, c'est a?
Do you know what that means?
Something about
Lady Marmalade?
We should go to France.
You know? See the Eiffel Tower,
Mona Lisa,
those other art things.
Eat snails or whatever.
What do you say, Liz?
Wanna be Lord and Lady
Marmalade?
I wanted to go to France
for our honeymoon, remember?
Yeah, but Mexico
was way better.
I mean, come on, that resort?
We had to.
You loved that resort.
The spa, the swim up bar,
you know those drink guys
on the beach.
The buffet with the shrimp.
You loved the shrimp.
You're right, Jay,
I loved the shrimp.
- Why are you getting mad?
- I'm not mad.
Then why are you
acting like that?
- Like what?
- Like I'm being a d*ck.
- Well...
- How am I being a d*ck?
I'm trying to talk to you.
You're not talking to me, Jay,
you just want someone
to agree with you.
- So I can't have opinions?
- No, I didn't say that.
So, what do you want me
to do? Come in here and be like,
hey, look at the weather.
Isn't that... nice?
Some boring crap like that?
You know, god forbid
I make a joke,
or say something fun,
or say something
that isn't perfect.
I mean, seriously, Liz,
no matter what I do,
I can't win.
[dryer buzzes]
Jay, when I said
I needed space,
I meant more than just
you sleeping downstairs.
Okay, okay. I...
I hear you
and I respect your,
you know, boundary.
[coffee burbles]
Thank you.
By the way,
the dryer is still broken.
I got a...
I'm waiting on a,
a part for that.
[unsettling music]
[gentle birdsong]
[music turns threatening]
[rustling]
[running footsteps approach]
[muffled scream]
Don't scream, it's me.
[pleasant music]
- Hey, you're Liz, right?
- Yeah.
Drew.
Nice to meet you.
- I'm gonna let go now, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God. Drew,
what are you doing here?
I escaped.
You can't be here.
Oh, my God, you can't be here.
- Keep your voice down.
You can't be here.
Drew, you need to go.
Shh, someone's
gonna hear, okay?
Exactly. You need
to leave right now.
- I need you to hide me.
- No. No, no, no, no.
- Just until tonight.
- No, absolutely not.
Lizzy, I've got,
I've got nowhere else to go.
- No, Drew.
- Please, Lizzy.
Please, Lizzy.
Okay.
I'm gonna get you some clothes,
but then you have to leave.
And some food?
Lizzy, I'm starving.
Drew!
[exhales]
[footsteps approaching]
Liz?
[ominous beat]
You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm just, I'm not feeling great.
I, I think I'm
gonna call in sick.
Okay, well I'll finish
hanging the laundry.
Don't worry about it.
It's totally fine. I will do it.
I just was gonna come in
and call Blair
and let her know that she has
to get somebody else to come in.
All right.
Sorry for getting
heated earlier.
That's okay.
Oh uh, I'm gonna be
late tonight.
Two cons escaped from Northeast,
so they're calling every man,
woman, and dog in
to help with the search.
- Oh, God. Ugh.
Well, stay safe.
[chuckles softly]
Always do.
Bye!
[door opens and closes]
[breathes nervously]
[mutters indistinctly]
You should call them.
[engine turns over]
[car rumbles away]
[vehicle honks]
[tense music]
[call rings]
- Hello?
- B, I need a sick day.
- Oh well, you're fired.
- Haha...
No, I can't have unreliable
nurse on my team.
You're a liability.
- Are you done?
Florence Nightingale
is turning over in her grave.
Blair.
[chuckles]
Okay, sorry. I didn't
realize your fun allergy
had flared up.
- Ugh, sorry.
It's just been a weird morning.
Oh.
Jay still mad about
the distance thing?
No. I mean, yes.
I don't know.
He's... he's trying.
And you're actually sick?
Hoping cold, fearing flu.
Yikes. But I mean,
you would tell me, right,
if, if something had happened?
Like, if things got worse?
Yeah, of course.
Mom!
Hey! There she is.
Signs of life.
Okay, well just rest up
and let me know
if you're gonna
come in tomorrow.
Be bored stiff
until you get back.
I will.
And I will miss you, too.
- Love you. Bye.
- Bye.
[call beeps off]
[gentle music]
[birds chirping]
[laughing]
- Okay.
Okay, then.
Yeah, this is nice.
Thank you.
I mean, almost as nice
as our basement suite
on bedlam and squalor.
I really like what you've done
with the lack of iron bars.
Okay, can we not
do this, please?
- What?
- Well, for one,
pretend like you didn't
just make me guilty
of aiding and abetting.
Sure.
Come with me. I think there
are some clothes downstairs
that Jay will not miss.
- Uh first...
[handcuffs rattle]
Got any power tools?
Yes.
Hey, I wasn't even supposed
to be a part of it,
but when freedom knocks,
you know?
Just happened to be
in the medical van yesterday.
Lucky my periodontist
had an opening.
Chipped my... tooth.
So, it's just me
and this guy, Frost.
Real piece of work.
Said he had two life sentences.
m*rder rap and cancer.
They said he got dangerous
when he got diagnosed terminal.
I didn't believe him at first,
but then he, you know,
goes for the guard,
the van's in the ditch and...
I heard g*nshots.
He k*lled him.
The guard, I mean.
Frost shot him with his own g*n.
Guy's name was Zivicky.
He was a real pissant,
but he didn't deserve that.
Got 'em.
- I tried to help him.
- Who?
Zivicky.
He was dead when
I got outside. So, I took off.
Ready?
Yeah.
[grunts]
Ooh, ah.
- Did I hurt you?
- No, no, it's good. I'm good.
Hey, Liz, wait.
I'm gonna finish hanging
the laundry
so you can help yourself
to whatever you find
in the kitchen.
- Okay. Hey, uh, Liz?
[exhales happily]
It's really good to see you.
[gentle music]
[indie rock music]
Creatures in the night
I know your names
As clear as dark
You gotta hear this.
My break's not
for another hour.
[music turns faint]
- Come on.
It's totally dead in here.
Live dangerously.
[exhales]
[music volume increases]
It's pretty good, right?
- Yeah. Who is this?
- It's Windmills.
I downloaded the MP3
off Stereogum this morning
and went out and bought
the record right away.
I think they're opening
for Real Estate's next tour.
God, the Brooklyn indie
scene is so cool.
Totally.
I'd give anything
to be a part of that.
Give me the choice of any place
in the world
and I'm picking Williamsburg
every time.
Of course you would.
- What about you?
- What?
- Where you do wanna live?
- Oh, I don't know.
Come on. Sure you do.
Uh, it, it's stupid.
Well, now you gotta tell me.
[sighs]
- Okay well,
my whole life,
I've wanted to live in Paris.
- That's not stupid.
- Yes, it is.
Five-year-old girls
wanna live in Paris.
Yeah well, who said
five-year-old girls are stupid?
Me. I was one once.
I wanted to have a pet giraffe
and grow up
to marry my deadbeat dad.
- And go to Paris?
Yes.
[sighs]
- Well,
you grew outta the other stuff.
No, Drew, I still pine
for my giraffe
and father husband.
[chuckles]
- I'm serious.
You grew outta the other stuff,
but you still dream about
going to Paris.
So, there's gotta be a reason.
Okay, I've gotta
get back to work.
No. Tell me why.
Because I just do.
Because, because every time
I see a picture
of the Notre Dame,
it catches my eye.
And every time I see
the Arc de Triomphe in a movie,
or the Seine on a postcard,
I feel homesick for a place
I've never even been.
And everything I love,
Breathless, Francoise Hardy,
Collette, Henry Miller,
it all just screams to me,
"This place is for you
and you are for it."
- Then we're doing it.
- What?
I'm serious. Screw Brooklyn.
I'll be a dangerous outlaw
rocker like the Stones,
recording Exile on Main Street.
And you can be some
sort of chic expat author
like Hemingway
or F. Scott Fitzgerald.
What do you say?
Make it Patricia Highsmith
and you've got a deal.
Done.
Okay, now really,
I've gotta get back to work.
I'm serious, Lizzy.
We're doing this.
Sure. Just as soon
as we win the lottery.
Hey, I'm gonna make
your dreams happen.
[echoes] Promise.
[sheets rustling]
[birds chirping]
If you surrendered now,
maybe they wouldn't charge you.
Even if they didn't, do you
know how long I've got left?
Ten years?
- Twelve.
- God.
That's not much
of a plea deal, is it?
Twenty-five is a deal
when life's on the table.
So, why are you
making it worse?
You know how long you get
for a meal in prison?
Five minutes, tops.
This is the first meal
I've gotten to enjoy
in more than a decade.
I don't even care
that it's all soggy.
I am never gonna forget this
bowl of multigram Bandit-Os.
Drew, be serious.
If you think
I'm not being serious,
then I'm not being clear.
This moment right now, with you,
it's the very best one I've had
since the robbery.
Do you understand?
[tender music]
Yeah.
I still don't think you do.
Think of all the years
we've been apart.
You've hundreds,
probably thousands
of moments that beat this one.
I don't have a single one.
I can't wait another 12 years
for a moment like this, Lizzy.
Okay.
Thank you.
[Drew exhales]
[sighs]
- Geez, what a mess.
And you're sure
what's-his-name won't notice?
Jay will not notice
as long as you don't take
anything with a sports logo.
Hmm.
Or anything orange.
- Hmm. Big Tennessee fan?
- The biggest.
You never know
what he's gonna consider lucky.
I could leave this for him.
[scoffs]
Anything over there?
- Um...
Yeah. Try this.
Ooh.
Hmm, I don't know.
It's kinda big.
Loose fits are back.
Are baggy clothes
really back in?
Yeah. Skinny jeans
means you're old now.
Seriously? What else is back,
new metal and chokers?
Yeah, actually.
[chuckles]
Unreal. So uh,
what does your husband do
when he's not watching football?
Pharmaceutical sales.
Yeah, we met at the hospital.
I'm a nurse.
Well, lucky for me,
I think you have a type,
'cause I dunno,
I think this fits pretty well.
Yeah, that fits.
You look good. You look normal.
You can be seen in public now.
What are you gonna do with that?
Take it with me, I guess.
Yeah it'll make
a great souvenir.
Handcuffs, too.
And everything's back
to normal for you.
It'll be like
I was never even here.
Drew, I don't know
what you were expecting me...
[doorbell chimes]
[tense music]
Hide. Hide. Hide.
[doorbell chimes]
Coming!
Oh, good morning, officer.
- Ma'am.
Sorry, you just caught me.
Uh, I'm not feeling great today.
I was taking a nap.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
What can I do for ya?
Well, did you hear about
the break out
we had at Northeast last night?
Yeah, I did hear about that.
Okay. Well, they've got us
out canvassing door-to-door.
Oh. You think they could
have gotten this far?
It's hard to say.
But actually, I've been tasked
with getting in touch with known
associates of the escapees,
no matter how far they've gone.
And what does that
have to do with me?
Well, according to a note
on our file,
you were involved with
a Drew Alexander in the past.
Drew.
Drew escaped.
- Yes. Yes, he did, ma'am.
Oh.
And you think that
he would come here?
Ah, again, that's hard to say.
I mean, I hope not.
I haven't Drew in, in years.
You know, since his arrest.
Of course not. Even so,
I'm still gonna
have to come inside.
Oh, is that necessary?
I'm really not feeling well.
I would hate for you to get it.
Ah, I'll take that chance,
ma'am, thank you.
My husband is a cop.
- Is he here?
- No, he's working.
Well um, you know,
if, uh, it's gonna make you
feel more comfortable,
I can, I can call him down.
Oh, no. No, don't,
don't bother him.
[chuckles]
It's fine. You can come on in.
Thank you.
We'll make it quick.
- Okay, thanks.
- Yeah.
And I can get back to my nap.
[chuckles nervously]
Would you, uh, like some coffee?
No thanks. I've had enough
to last me 'til Thursday.
Any more and I'll be
climbing the walls.
I also have tea,
or, or water, or... milk.
Not while I'm on duty, thanks.
So, you uh, heard much
about the break out?
Just whatever my husband
told me on his way out the door.
- He on the search now?
- As of this morning.
Hmm. Got escaped convicts
running around the neighborhood
and he leaves you here alone.
What is he, a statie?
No, he's with the county.
Oh. What's his name?
Jay Hamer.
Nah, don't think I've met him.
I mean, I wouldn't have
if he hasn't run
the transfer vans, right?
- Right.
All right. Well uh,
what have you got down here?
Uh, the laundry room.
We've got the garage.
Anything else?
Just this part of the house.
All clear in there.
After you.
And this is?
Uh, this is my room.
Oh. Gotcha.
Well, you know, no one ever said
being married to a cop was easy.
I can attest to that myself.
I mean, some can be
downright pricks.
Not, not that Jay's
in that category, I'm sure.
- Well...
- You got a light in here?
No, actually, the bulb is out.
Oh. Uh...
Left my flashlight in the car.
Can I use your phone?
[scoffs]
- Officer,
is this really necessary?
I mean there are no monsters
in there. I promise.
I look every night.
[laughs]
Well, why don't we cut
the BS, Mrs. Hamer?
Why am I here?
Um... I'm in a file
of Drew's known associates.
No. I'm here because we have
very strong reason to believe
that Drew is already here.
That being the case,
am I here alone?
- No?
- Exactly.
I got 12 SWAT guys
out on the street
just aching to come in here
and turn this place upside down.
So, either you and I
can clear it, or they can.
- All right.
- May I use your phone, please?
Yes, of course.
Officer... Zivicky.
[ominous beat]
Hey!
[screams]
[thudding blow]
[grunting]
[g*nshots crack]
[high-pitched ringing]
[breathes heavily]
Drew?
[tense music]
[ominous beat]
[gasps]
Liz? You get hit?
I'm calling the police.
I'll take that as a no.
I'm on the phone
with them right now!
I have your phone, Liz.
Yeah, I'm on the landline.
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, I'm talking to him
right now.
He still has the g*n.
Please hurry.
Liz, there's something
you gotta see.
Yeah, keep talkin', buddy.
You've got five minutes
of freedom left!
Liz, I'm gonna back
away from the door.
Yes, ma'am, okay.
Yeah, he's still got the g*n
and he's right outside.
All right.
Now I need you to look
through the hole in the door.
Look through the hole.
- Screw you!
- I'm runnin' out of patience!
Look through the hole
if you value Drew's life!
[breathes nervously]
Thank you.
Okay, so Drew is currently
handcuffed to the refrigerator.
Now, I found this in a knife
block on your counter.
You seem to have
a thing about knives.
You've got a whole lot of them.
All right, you've got one
minute to come outta there
or I go back to Drew and start
cuttin' pieces off of him!
Your minute already started!
Thirty seconds!
Okay, I'm comin' out!
Okay.
Stop.
Turn your pockets out.
Lift your shirt.
Gotta see if you're hiding
anything in there.
Turn around.
[breathes shakily]
Okay.
I wanna see Drew.
No.
- I wanna see him now.
- First
you got a little job to do.
Come on.
[eerie music]
[hawk caws]
[man]: There's an old red sedan
parked down the block.
You're gonna go out and pull it
into your driveway.
[exhales]
Same game as before.
You do it, or Drew dies.
Slowly.
You've got five minutes.
[alarm beeps off]
[exhales]
[engine turns over]
[brakes squeal]
[brakes squeal]
[exhales deeply]
[engine stops]
Full minute to spare.
Your efficiency is noted.
Please.
Yeah, I already tried it.
The only drawers close enough
are full of potholders
and reusable shopping bags.
[huffs]
Did you check the fridge?
Ow!
No.
- Sorry.
- I'm good.
- Don't pass out.
I'll be really bored
without you.
Oh, is he allergic to anything?
Like broccoli?
[Drew clears throat]
[sighs]
Hey, why did you lie to me?
- About what?
- About Jay.
Why didn't you
tell me he was a cop?
I just thought
it would be weird.
You don't think I'd wanna
know that I was walking
into a cop's house?
Well, I didn't think
you'd be staying so long.
- Same.
Ugh, be honest.
How screwed are we?
Drew, we're very screwed.
- That's what I thought.
- Although, not entirely.
- Well, that's not nothing.
- Right?
[footsteps approaching]
- Can't see.
[exhales]
Okay.
Where's the rest of the g*ns?
- What g*ns?
Huh.
I count one empty g*n case
downstairs. Where's the rest?
Jay only keeps his service
weapon in the house.
[chuckles]
- You think I'm a moron?
You married a cop.
You think I believe
he's only got one g*n?
No, he keeps his range g*ns
in a locker at his g*n club.
I asked him to.
[huffs]
Well, we're gonna
see about that.
'Cause right here, right now,
we're all gonna have to be
real smart.
Now, you're probably feeling
pretty sore about this situation
right about now,
and I don't blame ya.
But if we're all real smart,
sore is all you're gonna be.
Got me?
Okay. So, first off,
you and me,
we're gonna turn
this whole place upside down
looking for anything
that can be of any use
on this little journey of ours.
g*ns, money, stuff we can pawn.
Anything. Clear?
Got it.
Okay. Then me and him,
we're gonna climb in the back
of that big SUV of yours
and we're gonna pull all that
anything right in on top of us
because you're gonna drive us
right through the perimeter
the County set up.
How's she gonna
do that, genius?
Because Jay
will wave me through.
Bingo.
You
keep your mouth shut while
the adults are talkin', huh?
Okay.
Once we're through
we're all on our own.
Understand?
Got you.
I believe you do.
Okay, unhook yourself.
Let's get started.
[tense music]
Let's go.
I'm a nurse, you know.
So, he told ya.
I just wanted to say
I'm sure that you feel hopeless,
but the treatments for cancer
have come a really long way.
Really.
You really think so?
You think they got something
for asymptomatic
pancreatic cancer stage IV?
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Oh is just about right.
At least I don't have to tell
you how bad the prognosis is.
- No.
- That's good.
Rest of these clowns
don't have a clue.
Every minute I'm out here
is a victory.
Worst they can do is k*ll me,
and I'm already dead.
You been rehearsing that line?
Saw it in a James Bond film.
You're ballsy. I like that.
- How 'bout this?
- Is it real?
No idea.
All that.
Hmm. After you.
That uniform.
And the cap.
You want help with that?
I got it.
Okay, wait here. Cover me.
[call dials]
[phone rings]
- That's Jay's ringtone.
- So?
I should answer that.
You think I'm gonna let you
talk to your cop husband?
Look, he thinks
that I'm home sick.
I don't answer,
maybe he gets worried.
He gets worried,
maybe he comes home early.
He might already be
on his way home.
You said we were gonna be smart.
Let's be smart.
Okay. On speaker.
And none of that "Say hello
to your dead mom for me" crap.
[call beeps on]
Hi.
Hey. Uh, how ya feelin'?
Uh, not great.
I was just sleeping it off.
I didn't wake you, did I?
Don't worry about it.
Damn. Sorry, Liz.
- I said don't worry about it.
- Yeah, still.
Uh, so have you heard anything
about the prison break?
Nope. Why?
Oh, um...
Nothing.
Uh, don't worry about it.
Just rest up and I'll see you
when I get home.
You still gonna be late?
Unless we catch these guys.
- Okay.
- Okay. Uh, feel better.
Thanks. Bye.
[call beeps off]
See? Smart.
Smart.
Grab all the shiny stuff
and that coin.
[sniffs]
Hmm.
[exhales]
[gentle birdsong]
Get out here.
Look at this.
Okay, this is good.
That is real good.
- Yeah, I guess.
- You guess?
You don't know what you got.
Been so long since I've been
out I
it doesn't even look real to me.
Hey
you ever been up Chimney Tops
down in the park?
No.
No, me either but, um,
saw a picture from
the top one time.
One of the most beautiful things
I've ever seen.
That's why I broke out.
To climb a mountain?
There's this movie I've seen
one time.
About the afterlife.
Everybody that died got to take
one memory with them.
That one memory
into the afterlife.
And then, and then they lived
in that memory forever.
I was diagnosed.
Got to thinking that maybe
I don't have that one memory.
So I'm gonna make one.
It's gonna be Chimney Top.
You might wanna think
about that, Liz.
- Think about what?
- You got one memory?
You wanna know if this stuff
has any sentimental value?
- Not particularly.
- Good, 'cause it doesn't.
You know, I meant
what I said back there.
I like you.
You're cool under pressure.
- Nurses are good in a foxhole.
- Yeah, well,
could've used you when Drew
and I were cookin' up this plot.
- Oh yeah?
- Huh.
- Whose idea was this anyway?
- Mine. Mostly.
Thing about Drew,
he knows what he wants
and he's not afraid
to bleed to get it.
- What does that mean?
- Means he took a rock
to his own tooth to get
in that van with me.
- God.
- Yeah.
He may not be
the brightest, but
when he makes a plan,
he sticks to it.
[ominous beat]
I know it's dumb,
but point is, we're doing it.
- What?
- Paris.
You, me, baguettes, Truffaut.
The whole thing.
Yeah, you, me, and what money?
I got a plan. Trust me.
- Oh, God. I'm sorry.
- It's all right.
You want this to take forever?
[scoffs]
[coughs]
[screams]
[energetic tense music]
Freeze, Frost.
Put your hands up. Stop.
Back up out of the room.
[grunts]
Woo!
That's not gonna happen.
- I mean it.
- Then do it.
- Back up!
- Liz?!
- Do it.
- Frost.
Do it!
[g*n clicking]
There were only two left
after Zivicky.
And Drew took care of that.
So, uh...
Ow! Ah!
What's going on?!
Hey!
[grunting]
Liz?!
[grunts]
Liz!
Get off of her!
[groaning]
[choking]
[panting]
[grunts]
Come on!
[grunts]
[knife block thuds]
[panting]
Liz. Liz.
Come here.
[coughing]
[panting]
[gentle birdsong]
[footsteps approaching]
How's your throat?
- Hurts.
Makes sense.
How are you?
All right, I guess.
I'm not the one who got put in
a headlock back there, though.
It was a rear naked choke,
actually.
- A what?
- Yeah, headlock's not a choke.
- Oh.
- Jay watches wrestling.
[chuckles]
Well, whatever it was.
God, you're an amazing
woman, Liz.
What are you doing?
- I just thought I'd...
- Kiss me?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- You're crazy.
After everything you just did?
- What did I do?
[somber music]
Well, you broke out of prison
and you made me a criminal,
for one.
I didn't mean to.
Yes, you did.
You planned this.
Frost told me everything.
- Well, he was lying.
- No, Drew. You're lying.
You've been in on this
from the start.
No, I wasn't.
Really.
So, how did you know
where I live. Hmm?
If you just happened to be
in the van last night,
how did you know where to go?
How did he know?
Okay.
I was lying before,
but I'm not now.
[Liz scoffs]
I helped plan this.
But this was never
part of the plan.
Him coming here
was never part of the plan.
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't wanna hear another
word from you.
You lied to me.
You used me.
And you almost got me k*lled.
- You lied to me, too.
- About what? Jay?
- Yeah, you put me in danger.
- I didn't wanna hurt you.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- It doesn't matter.
The point is that
you coming here
is the most selfish thing
you've ever done,
and that's saying something.
Everything I've ever done
has been for you.
No, Drew. It's for you.
And now there's a m*rder*r
chained to my fridge.
And a guard lying
dead somewhere.
What, what happened
to Zivicky is not my fault.
Oh, I'm sure that's
a real help to Zivicky's wife.
I didn't know
he was gonna k*ll him!
But you knew
he was gonna hurt him.
I didn't know he was gonna
hurt him that bad.
Oh, my God.
Do you want credit for that?
No, I don't want
credit for it. I just...
Yes, you do.
Of course you do.
Because this is what you do.
You make these grand plans
and then you never mean
for anybody to get hurt
but somehow they always do
and you pretend like
you had nothing to do with it!
That's not fair.
This is nothing like last time.
Then how did it happen again?
[somber music]
[items clatter loudly]
Dammit, Drew.
Dammit, Drew. How are
we supposed to pay rent?
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
That's what I'm asking
you to do right now.
I don't know right now.
I mean, did you even
consider before you quit?
They're exploiting
their workers.
Of course they are.
They're in food service.
It's like the entire industry!
So, I'm just supposed
to take it?
Yes, in exchange for money!
That's what the whole
Occupy Wall Street thing
was all about.
- Oh... my God!
- What?
You're such a hypocrite.
I'm literally standing up
for my beliefs.
Exactly, your beliefs,
your morals, your
you, you love to think
that you care about others
when really it's all about you.
I think about others
all the time.
Then how come you never
think about me?
Now look who's being selfish.
It is not selfish to look
at a relationship
and ask who's a giver
and who's a taker.
So, I'm a taker.
Of course you are.
You live in my apartment,
where I cook and clean,
and now apparently
pay the entirety of the rent.
The dishes.
We are so beyond dishes, Drew!
So, what then?
When I first met you,
my favorite thing about you
was that you filled my head
with all of these dreams.
But now I think that that's
the cruelest thing
you could have done to me.
So, what I want is for you
to prove me wrong.
Show me the guy who said he was
gonna make my dreams come true.
Prove he wasn't all talk.
[ominous music]
- Liz.
- I found almost $300.
- What?
- This is the stash I keep
in my dresser.
One, two, 20, 40...
- What is this?
- 60, 75 dollars.
- Liz, come on.
- You get this.
I didn't come here
for you money, Liz.
You get his car.
And I never see you again.
Liz, I'm sorry I lied.
I'll get you more
of Jay's clothes, too.
Help yourself to whatever
you can find in the kitchen.
Liz, come on. Wait!
Argh!
[ominous music]
[knife clatters]
[ominous music]
- Ready?
- Yeah.
[bag zips]
- Good.
I put all your knives
in the sink.
Thank you.
Go. Left.
[music stops]
- Liz.
- What?
I want to tell you something
before we go, okay?
- No.
- Gimme two minutes.
I have been giving
you two minutes.
[shrieks]
- Whoa! Whoa!
Hey, is she...
Hey. Mallory?
- I got hit.
- Yeah, I can see that.
[scoffs]
Hold these.
This isn't good.
Hey, my name's Liz.
I'm gonna examine you, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay, does your neck hurt?
- Mm, no.
- Good.
You know how you hurt your head?
I spilled coffee on my shoe.
Yeah, and do you remember
how you hurt your head?
He was... he was on the TV.
Okay, open your eyes
for me, honey.
- No, I'm tired.
- Open your eyes for me.
I know you are, honey.
That's good.
You gotta stay awake, okay?
- Okay.
Okay, I don't think she has
any cervical spine injuries
but she's definitely concussed.
- Yeah.
- Who?
You, honey.
Let's get her into my car.
Yeah.
Here, gentle. Gentle.
Come here.
- Good. Gentle.
- Come on, honey.
[grunts softly]
Why your car?
Because I'm not gonna take
a bleeding girl
and a fugitive in a stolen car
to the hospital.
Come on.
Okay. Good.
[energetic tense music]
Mallory, honey,
you gotta stay awake for me.
Drew, keep talking to her.
Hey, you gotta stay awake,
Mallory, okay? Okay?
Yeah, um, hey,
so you're a waitress?
- Yeah.
- Do you like your job?
Uh, well...
Mallory, you have somebody
on your keychain, hey?
Yeah.
Who's in the,
who's in the picture with you?
It's, it's, it's Brendan.
Oh. Who's Brendan?
He's my boyfriend
who hates me.
Hey, I'm sure he
doesn't hate you.
Yes, he does.
I was so mean about Zordok.
What's Zordok?
Zordok is rising.
Is that bad?
I don't know. I don't play.
Oh, it's like a video game.
I just wanted him to spend
the night with me, that's all.
I'm sure he wants to spend
the night with you, too. Okay?
You don't understand.
I was, I was so mean
and, and I messed everything up,
and now I'm gonna die
and the last thing
I said to him was,
"Congrats to you and Zordok."
Mallory, here,
do you want a hand to squeeze?
- Yeah.
- You're not gonna die.
Doesn't matter.
I ruined my whole life.
You didn't.
[scoffs]
- How do you know?
Because I ruined mine,
and you've got a long way to go
before you get there.
- Really?
- Oh, yeah.
When I was your age...
When I was your age I loved
a girl like you love Brendan.
Yeah, I really,
really love him.
She was so smart, and funny,
and cool, and well read.
She was a waitress,
just like you.
But I knew that
she was meant for more.
- She's so talented, it sounds.
- You have no idea.
I wanted to give her
all the happiness in the world.
I wanted to take her to Paris.
- Wow.
But I was impulsive
and impatient,
and I did something
really, really stupid.
I robbed a bank.
[gasps]
It was supposed to be so easy.
I met these guys
and they told me the tellers
are just trained
to hand over the money. But
there was a cop inside
and they shot him.
Oh no.
I didn't even pull
the trigger.
But that didn't matter.
I was facing second-degree
manslaughter charges.
A de facto life sentence.
Everything was ruined.
Oh, that's terrible.
Yeah.
But that's not
the end of the story.
Because I got a deal.
Because I was just a kid
and I didn't really mean
to hurt anyone, I got off easy.
No prison time.
Wow, you're really,
really, really lucky.
Really am.
And I went back to my girlfriend
and I told her
that I was sorry
and I was wrong,
and I took responsibility
for my actions,
and for almost
abandoning her. And...
- Aw.
- I told her that I loved her
more than anything else
in the world.
Aw, what did she say?
She told me that
she loved me, too.
What happened next?
Well, we moved
to Paris together.
She writes
for the Paris Review
and I've got
my own music studio.
Wow.
Hey, we even learned
how to speak French.
[speaking French]
I don't even know
what that means.
Every day, we walk along
the Seine and we stop at cafs.
And we never fight, or worry,
or make the same mistakes
we used to.
We're happier
than we've ever been.
I wanna be that happy.
That's what I'm trying
to tell you, Mallory.
You will be.
Because that's what happens
when you love someone.
The problems don't matter.
And no one ever gets hurt.
Not really.
When you love someone like that,
everything works out in the end.
Wind up together and happy.
No matter what.
Is that really true?
Of course it is.
[unsettling music]
[groans]
Ah!
[energetic tense music]
Hey, any luck?
Yeah, I found an empty room
close by.
If we put her in there
and press the call button
I think someone will find her.
All right, Mal.
Come on, Mal, let's go.
Okay.
I'm so tired.
- Gentle.
No, no, no. Can't sleep yet.
Yeah.
- There you go.
- Put this on.
Yeah. Tell me again,
your picture of happiness.
- I'm a vet!
- A vet, that's great.
- Yeah.
- And Brendan?
He's gonna be the head
of my team.
- Oh, very good.
- Help me with the curb.
Yeah. Keep going. What else?
We, we have cats.
- Oh, what kind?
- Scottish fold ones
with the little baby ears.
- Cute.
It's like the one
Taylor Swift has, named...
- Yeah?
- Its name is Olivia Benson,
which is a terrible name
for a cat.
What would you name
your cat, Mallory?
Zordok, 'cause
Brendan and I love him.
That's a good one.
[tense music]
[labored breathing]
[doorbell chimes]
Oh, dammit.
You don't know me.
Go, go, keep walking. Go.
- Yeah.
[chuckles]
Hi, Misty.
I thought you were sick.
Between you and me,
I just needed a bit
of a mental health day,
if you know what I mean.
Uh, we all do, sweetie.
Uh, please don't tell anybody
I was here.
I just had to get
my debit card from my locker
because no mental health day
is complete without
buying something you don't need.
- Oh, amen.
But you should have just
been honest with Blair
and saved her the trip.
- What do you mean?
Well, she just left
to take you some soup.
[giggles]
Soup?
Oh God.
[call beeps on]
[call dials]
You big fibber!
Oh, you got me.
Be honest with me.
Am I not cool anymore?
[chuckles]
- I guess not.
Look. I'm sorry that I made you
go all that way
to find nobody home.
- Oh no, no, it's fine.
Your brother-in-law let me in.
What's that?
Wesley. He even tried
to cover for you.
You and Jay are so kind
to let him stay here.
I can't imagine dealing
with a fire like that.
Blair. Blair, listen to me.
You need to get outta
the house right now.
- What?
- I could only find two percent.
You need to run.
He's dangerous.
- Liz, what are you saying?
- He's not my brother-in-law!
Ah!
Liz. Liz!
[screaming]
Blair. Blair!
[Frost]: Come home now.
Bring Drew.
Get in.
[energetic tense music]
Call her again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is it ringing?
Nothing.
Frost probably has the phone.
Oh, God.
- You know her from work?
- Yeah, she's my best friend.
I mean, she's more than that.
She's like my sister.
Watch that curve.
If he hurts her,
I'll k*ll him, Drew.
[tires screech]
Frost!
Blair! Blair!
You go downstairs.
I'll check up here.
- Got it.
- Blair!
[tense music]
Anything?
- No.
I'm gonna call her.
[call dials]
[phone ringing]
Oh, geez.
Liz. Liz.
What the...
What the hell is that?
- Hey, it's gonna be okay. Hey.
- Oh, my God!
She's gonna be all right.
We'll find her.
If he hurt her, Drew...
Nothing's gonna happen
to her. I promise!
[car alarm beeps]
Shh, shh, shh. That's him.
Get a knife or something.
- Liz?
- Wait.
- Hey.
- Hi.
What are you doing home early?
I thought you were
gonna be late?
Yeah, I just came back to grab
a quick shower and change.
What's up with your park job?
I was um, unloading
some groceries.
You went and got groceries?
I thought you were sick?
- I am sick.
We were just outta milk.
All right.
Anyway, you look better.
- I feel better.
Have you caught the news
at all about the uh, escape?
No, why? Did you catch them?
No. Um...
There's something
I should tell you.
- Okay.
- You wanna sit down or...
No, no, you can just tell me.
One of the convicts
who escaped is Drew.
- Drew Alexander?
- Yeah.
Oh, you didn't
tell me that earlier.
Well, you were sick.
I didn't wanna bother you.
- Oh.
- Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
I mean, that was a really
long time ago with Drew.
Yeah, I figured.
Still, kinda got me thinking
about, you know, things.
- What things?
- Just stuff.
That things, stuff.
Good grief, I'm bad at this.
- You're doing fine.
All I'm trying to say
is I love you
and I appreciate you,
and I'm willing to, you know,
work on things or whatever.
'Cause I don't wanna lose you.
- Okay.
- So, if you wanna go
to the couples counselor
guy again, sure.
We just, again,
can't be Saturdays. Football.
Well, we could talk
about that later, maybe.
Okay. I'm gonna grab a coffee.
Oh, let me make you one.
- No, I can do it.
- No, no, no, it's okay.
Honey. I'll get it.
Okay.
Hey, you know,
the day you turned him in
was luckiest day
of my damn life.
[ominous beat]
Mine too.
- Love you, Liz.
- Love you too.
I can explain.
Drew!
Hey, man.
Yeah. I mean, capitalism.
Makes criminals of us all,
right?
So,
where are you getting the g*n?
Yeah, uh cool. Cool.
And your cousin's cool
with the plan?
Okay, yeah. Uh, see you there.
[call beeps off]
[door shuts]
Hey. You on break?
What's the plan?
- What?
- You keep saying
that there's a plan.
Just tell me what it is.
- Look, Lizzy.
- No look Lizzys, or trust mes,
or I'm working on its,
or anything. Just tell me.
- It's not that simple.
- Yes, it is.
There's something
between you quitting
and us having enough money
to move, so what is it?
Look, I'm not your dad, okay?
You're just gonna
have to trust me.
Did you seriously
just say that to me?
- I don't have time for this.
- No, don't leave!
Watch me.
[scoffs]
[door opens and shuts]
[traffic honking]
Don't move.
Don't move.
Put your hands in the air.
Don't move,
put your hands in the air.
Remember, we're here
for the bank's money,
not your money.
Your money's insured
by the federal government.
So, you won't lose a cent.
Think about your family.
Don't try to be a hero.
[siren wailing]
[siren passes]
[buttons beeping]
[call dials]
[voicemail]: Hey, it's Liz.
Leave a message.
[beep]
- Uh hey, it's Drew.
What's a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?
I'm getting up the nerve
to turn in my boyfriend
for armed robbery.
- Oof.
[chuckles]
Oh.
Well, I'm new on the force,
but Maury Tillman,
he's the one to talk to.
He's a good guy.
I just, I just don't
want anyone to get hurt.
Maury will take care
of all of it.
[phone buzzes]
Sorry, one sec.
You have one new
voice message.
Uh hey, it's Drew.
Look, I uh, I know
you're still probably mad.
Uh, but I just wanted to say
what I, what I said
about your dad,
that wasn't cool.
I know you don't trust
a lot of people so,
your trust means a lot to me.
I know I didn't
wanna talk earlier.
I, I'd really like to talk now.
So, um... call me back
when you get this message.
Please, Lizzy.
I can walk in with you,
if you'd like.
Yeah, I, I'd like that.
I didn't have anybody
to go to.
I didn't have anybody
without you.
I was scared for you.
I didn't want you to get hurt.
I was scared and I was angry.
And I was 18 years old.
I tried to talk to you about it.
Do you remember that?
But you shut me out.
I felt like I didn't
have any other options.
Drew.
So, that's how the cops
got there so fast.
You betrayed me.
- No, it wasn't like that.
- Yes, it was.
- You forced me to do it.
No, you forced me to do it.
Do you even remember
what it was like?
It was the recession.
There were no jobs,
no hope, no future, no nothing.
You said I was supposed
to step up
and make your dreams come true.
That's what you said.
- But not like that.
- Then how?
I don't know,
but not like that.
Twenty-five years. Liz!
That's my whole life.
My whole life.
Drew, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Drew.
So cute. So, so cute.
I really hope you two work
that stuff out,
but in the meantime,
I got something
I wanna talk to you about.
- Where's Blair?
That's exactly
what I wanna talk about.
Where is she?
- No, no, no.
That's not the smart question.
The smart question is,
what can you do for me
that will compel me
to tell you where she is?
- What do you need from me?
Quit screwing with me
and follow the plan.
- What plan?
- Same plan. With a variation.
We're all gonna drive
through the checkpoints.
- Jay's here now, you idiot.
- Exactly.
Frost... he
he will never go for that,
if that's what you're thinking.
- Never go for what?
- Try to keep up, Drew.
He's gonna drive us
all through the checkpoints
in his cruiser,
because the last place on Earth
they're gonna think to look
for us is in the back seat
of a cop car.
- You're crazy.
He will never do it.
- Hmm?
Let's just find out. Jay!
- Shh!
Shh! You want us
to go back to prison?
No, but I'm gonna try
to do something about it!
Stop. Stop. Frost. Frost.
Let me see Blair.
Once we're past the cops.
We better hurry.
You're a nurse, right, Liz?
Do you know how much blood
a body can lose
before it starts to be fatal?
I bet Blair's asking herself
that right about now.
I don't do anything
until I see Blair.
Fair enough. Let's see
how much Jay loves you.
Get outta here, Liz! Go!
[energetic music]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Ah! Ah!
[panting]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[thudding blows]
[choking]
Stop! Stop!
[grunting]
Ugh!
[thudding blows]
[glass shatters]
[grunting]
Is he dead?
[panting]
Freeze!
Jay.
Turn around with
your hands up. Slowly.
[somber music]
What the hell?
- I can explain.
- That's Drew.
- Yes, but listen.
Frost hurt Blair
and she's out there somewhere.
We have to help her.
And that's Frost.
Is he dead?
Yeah.
- Damn.
- Hey, look man.
I said freeze.
They attacked you?
Frost did.
Drew was trying to help me.
Wait, is that my sweatshirt?
What...
How long have they been here?
Look, I can explain
everything.
It's a really long story
and I can explain it all.
But first we have to help Blair.
She's hurt.
Why don't you tell me
the story?
Why don't you put
the g*n down?
- Absolutely not.
- Drew's not dangerous.
Yeah, there's a dead prison
guard that begs to differ.
- It wasn't me, man.
- Shut up.
Can't you see the g*n's
freaking her out?
- Shut up!
- Stop!
How long have they
been here? Be honest.
They've been here
since this morning.
- Uh, you were hiding them?
- No. No.
- Well, you're a hostage?
- Yes. No. I mean...
- Well, what is it then?
- It's complicated, okay?
You weren't sick today,
were you?
No.
Are you in on this?
Are you part of this plan?
Jay, don't point
that thing at me.
- Answer me!
- No, I was not part of this.
I mean, I wasn't,
I was not part of this plan.
I just got him some clothes
and a meal.
How am I supposed
to believe that?
- Hey, don't threaten her, man!
- Shut... up!
Real big man
with a g*n in your hand.
- Yeah, you wanna find out?
- Stop. Both of you stop. Okay?
We... we're gonna go upstairs
and we're just gonna talk
this through, okay?
Liz, you're not
in charge anymore, okay?
You're right.
You're in charge, Jay.
You're in charge.
Let's just calm down.
Put the g*n down.
Well, maybe I don't wanna
calm down.
Or talk about my feelings.
Or hold space for you.
And talk
to Dr. frickin' Feldman.
Maybe what I wanna know is,
is my wife cheating on me
with a fugitive?
- Of course I'm not.
- Then why is he here? Do...
[scoffs]
Do you love him?
Huh.
[g*nsh*t cracks]
[high-pitched ringing]
[sound warbles]
[inaudible]
Stop.
- You shot him!
He charged at me.
Get away from him.
No, I have to put
pressure on this.
No, you don't.
You wanna prove
you're not with him?
Grab that rock.
- What?
- Do it! Grab the rock.
The story is. Uh,
they attacked you.
You fought 'em off,
I came home, shot him.
Husband and wife.
We solved this together. Okay?
You still wanna be with me?
You still love me?
And you don't wanna go
to prison,
then you have to prove it.
Pick up that rock.
Pick up that rock. You're gonna
hit him in the head.
- No.
- Pick it up!
Okay. Yeah.
Hit him!
[breathes nervously]
Do it!
Hit him.
[grunts]
[grunting]
Jay, get off me.
- Stop it!
- You're hurting me.
Maybe I don't care.
Get off me!
[g*n c*ck]
- Get off her!
Now, where did you get that?
Frost.
You ever use one
of those things before?
Try me.
Uh-oh. You're not looking
too good there, champ.
- Shut up.
- Or what?
[threatening music]
Quick draw's a little
slow there, cowboy.
Why don't you do me a favor?
Hurry up and die you piece of...
[stun g*n sizzles]
[groans]
[panting]
Come on, come on.
Come here.
[groans]
We've gotta call 911.
[siren wailing]
[police radio chatter]
And then I tazed him
and we came upstairs
and we called you all.
Are you sure
you're telling the truth?
[scoffs]
Yes, of course I am.
Detective Tillman, Maury,
you've known me for 13 years.
Have you ever questioned
my character?
Yeah, but Liz,
I have one story
from a decorated officer
and then another
from a convicted felon
and the woman
that's been hiding him.
It wasn't like that.
And he's lying.
But you can't prove that.
She's telling the truth.
[gasps]
- Blair. Oh!
[exhales happily]
Are you okay?
Your brother-in-law
is a real d*ck.
Oh, my God.
- Thank you.
- Yeah. Where were you?
Tied up and gagged
20 feet in the woods.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm glad someone finally
checked out there.
Um, it's just like she said.
Jay tried to k*ll them.
Uh, I'm gonna need you
to start from the top.
Uh, first can I, um
those aren't evidence anymore,
right?
Oh no. Have at it.
- Better?
- Oh, much better. Um,
I should have known
that something was wrong
when Liz called in sick
'cause she never calls in sick.
And then I spend an actual
fortune taking a cab here.
And you owe me for that.
[melancholy music
drowns out voice]
[handcuffs snap closed]
Wait, Maury,
can we have a minute?
Um... how you feelin'?
It's gonna be a weird
sentence but, uh,
that blood transfusion
they gave me was awesome.
[chuckles softly]
You're lucky
you're AB positive.
How do you remember that?
No idea.
Listen, I
told them you didn't have
anything to do with it.
I don't think
you'll get any charges.
Drew.
Look, between that
and break out
and what Frost did to Zivicky,
I'm going away
forever and a day.
But hey, if I get lucky
and I do get out some day,
I was just wondering...
- Drew.
I realize that I've been making
the same mistake for years.
With Jay, with you.
I've been waiting
for someone else
to give me permission
to get what I want.
I'm not gonna do that anymore.
It's like that
Purple Mountains song,
"Maybe I'm The Only One For Me".
I don't know that one.
You'd like it.
It's David Berman.
Ooh.
You were always cooler than me.
I can't wait for you.
I know.
I'm not asking that.
I asked that last time
and it wasn't fair.
None of this is fair.
I'm just asking that someday,
when we're different people,
can I come find you and meet
the person you've become?
I'd like that.
I would too.
You're Liz, right?
- Yeah.
- Drew.
Nice to meet you.
What if I told you, you were
never gonna forget this moment?
Um, I guess I'd ask if it was
a good memory or a bad one.
Okay. Guess we'll just
have to wait and see.
Okay, we'll see.
[tender music]
Au revoir, Lizzy.
Au revoir, Drew.
Though I've had
my share of pain
And I've cried enough tears
I once I believed
in a love so true
Those dreams
have disappeared
