- Uh, okay, this...
Um...
So...
Hmm? Nah, I'm just...
- You're just? - Yeah, I'm just...
I'm just--
Okay, this-- this Dickinson line.
"For each ecstatic instant, we must an anguish pay
in keen and quivering ratio to the ecstasy."
Oh, she's brilliant.
But you're-- you're-- you're spin on this
I love where...
Okay. The piano wire tight tension of the...
...currency takes us years.
It's so good.
- You think? - Yes. Yeah.
Emily Dickinson's got nothing.
Okay. No, no.
You need to read more Dickinson.
What is it? Something is the thing with feathers.
Something?
Eric, you're missing the most important word.
- Anna? - Partial credit.
Alright, so one small moment of joy brings the pain.
One ecstatic instinct we must an anguish to pay?
I guess both.
Anna?
I have to go.
Hey, I'll call you later.
Don't-- don't--
Why does Dickinson write the word dwell in "Possibility?"
Her dwell bothers me.
- Hi. - Hi.
Um, I always viewed dwell a little negatively.
Possibility is there,
but she doesn't leave her house, you know?
It's not a coffee cup quote.
That makes total sense.
- Tea? - No, I'm okay.
Are you sure you don't want some jasmine mint tea?
Holy shit, Mom!
Holy shit! No, I knew it.
I knew it when you told me he was taking you
to that ridiculous restaurant.
Yeah, he did it. And, well, I went with yes.
I love this ring.
It was his grandmother's.
Oh, Mom, I'm so happy for you.
I'm so happy for both you and Tim.
Me, too.
Wow. - Yeah, wow!
Did I overhear you talking to a boy?
I was in the hallway.
Yeah.
College boy?
Anna? - No, it's nothing.
He lives 900 miles away. It's nothing.
Doesn't sound like nothing.
Tim, get down on one knee and all that?
Nice try. And yes, he did.
It's nothing.
It's just this guy that I talked to online.
I think those are literally famous last words.
Wow, so salty now that she's engaged.
I'm going to get a coffee. Do you want one?
Brit?
I railed Mr. Golding in the chem lab.
He told his wife, and now we're in a polyamorous threesome.
It's great.
Brit? - Hi, sorry. What?
Do you want a coffee?
Uh, yeah, please. Thank you.
You don't have to yell at me.
Who's Eric? - Don't answer that.
Hi, Eric. Who are you?
Oh, um... hi.
Hi. Who are you?
Hey, I'll call you later, okay?
You can't do that.
- Who's Eric? - Not okay, Brit.
You'll call him later? That sounded like a man.
What does that mean?
Who is that?
He's a little older.
Okay. How much older?
I don't know. College?
We just talk.
You're a naughty little girl, aren't you?
- Stop! - Honey?
Coming.
"An old soul, having lived through love and loss
and past iterations, sees the whole picture
and is often described as wise beyond their years."
See that-- that's definitely you.
FaceTime?
No, it's...
I feel like...
You don't want to see me?
Like, sometimes I like to just focus on your voice
and your words without that distracting face of yours.
Yeah, right.
I love this instead.
We-- we actually see each other.
Yeah, sure. Just swing on by, why don't you?
I mean, don't just think we should meet someday?
No.
it's part of the charm of this relationship, Eric.
The vast distance that separates us.
I don't know. It just doesn't feel right.
I'd love to meet and be in the same room with you.
I have to go to sleep.
- Anna. - This is me
blowing you a kiss.
So, I have two open houses tomorrow,
and then Tim and I are going to meet with the caterers
for the engagement party.
But-- hi. - Cool, cool.
Um, I wanted to get back in time to maybe do, like,
a little birthday thingy with you before you
and the girls head out, okay?
Thank you.
Uh, also, we have to sit down
and formalize those college tour dates, babe.
Honey?
Definitely.
Girl.
Let's go.
- Hey. - Hey.
I was starting to think you were ghosting me.
No, no, I got-- got a little lost.
What do you mean?
I don't know where I am.
I mean, I'll turn the camera around, I'll show you.
Pretty sure I can't help you, but okay?
No?
What do you think?
I'm sorry.
Do you realize how inappropriate
and aggressive this is?
Yeah. Um, I'm sorry.
I-I-I...
I guess I thought it was a big
gesture, but....
Yes, a big, dumb gesture.
Yeah.
Shit. I'm sorry.
What?
Look, um, I have gifts for you.
I'll just-- I'll leave it on the porch, okay?
Sh-- Sorry.
No, hold on.
Uh, just-- just wait.
Hi.
Um...
I have no interest in-- in coming in.
I just-- I wanted to give you that.
Happy birthday.
Okay.
Um, no, you know what? Actually, I, um...
One more thing, and then-- and then I'll go.
You are even prettier in person.
Um, and um, I'm going to go now.
Um, I'm sorry if I freaked you out.
I'm an idiot.
It's really dumb.
Um...
Call me later if you--
if you like it.
"Her life had stood a loaded gun.
In corners till a day the owner passed
identified and carried me away."
How old are you, actually?
28.
Jesus.
I'm not in college.
I was, but I dropped out a while ago.
I have a lot of questions.
And I just want to be straight
with you about everything.
- That's thoughtful of you. - Look.
When we first met-- - Met?
Eric, I met you, like, half an hour ago.
Okay, fine. When we...
When we first, you know, got to know each other...
I knew how special you were, and-- and I--
I panicked.
You mean you lied?
Yeah.
Why did you panic?
I mean, you're so incredibly smart
and you're funny and you're kind and caring.
You're like 1,000,001 other things,
and I just--
I knew I didn't want to lose something
with so much potential.
Hey. Could you be there at 4:30 today?
I need help with the ribbons.
Ribbons?
Yeah, it's a thing we do. It's ironic.
Is it now?
Yeah, 75% ironic.
Well, congrats on your big, dumb gesture.
Well, you know, big and dumb or go home, right?
Thank you for the book.
It was one of the most thoughtful gifts
anyone's ever given me.
I'm glad.
Um, okay.
No.
No, there's no way I'm not getting a hug.
Oh, man.
Why?
Why does your hair smell so good?
Jesus.
I...
I have to go.
- Yeah, you do. - Yeah.
Babe.
It's an ironic hat and you have to wear it.
It's a rule.
- Where's the birthday girl at? - I don't know.
And the girl should be here any minute to pick her up.
Anna!
Hey.
- Oh, shit. - What?
Uh, my mom's home. We fell asleep.
Wait, what? What?
Uh, you have to get dressed.
- Oh, shit. - Fast.
Oh, shit.
Uh... - Shirt?
Where's my shirt? Where's my-- my shirt?
- Anna? - Hold on.
Um, no, you have to hide.
- What? - Hide.
Anna?
Huh? Honey? - Hold on.
Don't. Don't you knock?
Sorry. I thought you said come in.
Um, I have something for you downstairs.
And the girls are almost here, so...
Yeah. No, I'm sorry I snapped.
I'm sorry I barged in.
No, I fell asleep. I'm just grumpy.
No big deal.
I'll be out soon. - Okay.
Oh.
That's what?
I don't know how I'm going to get you out of here.
- What do you mean? - My mom and Tim are home.
Uh, the window?
Doesn't open wide enough for a body.
I've tried.
I...
I can't stay here. - You have to.
No, I can't.
Okay, then let's go out there and have Tim arrest you.
Tim's a cop?
Assistant chief of police.
What?
Is my head still intact?
Yeah, I think so.
'Cause she nearly bit it off.
Birthday girl!
- I won't be out late. - No, I can't.
I can't stay in your house.
I'll make it as quick as I can. I promise.
- Anna?! - Coming!
Please, just stay here.
I'll be back soon, okay?
I want to see you later.
You promise?
Yeah.
♪ Happy birthday, dear Anna
♪ Happy birthday to you
Thank you.
Uh...
- Happy birthday. - Thank you, Mom.
- Happy birthday. - Wow, you too?
Yeah, well, apparently it's tradition?
- Okay, well, we should...
- Yeah, we have to go. - Oh, wait.
No, no, no, okay?
I baked this vegan cake from scratch.
I know you don't like sweets, but you have to at least try it.
Okay, one bite and then we'll go--
- That's good. - You like it?
- Mm-hmm. - Bye.
- Let's go. - Bye, thank you.
- It was good. - She liked it.
In one bite, she liked it.
Denny, what's up?
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Look.
Denny. - Yeah.
So happy birthday, I guess.
Um...
Brit, who apparently is a liar,
told me you wouldn't be here, so...
Thank you, Denny.
Yeah. Um, okay.
Alright, uh, bye.
I'll see you-- I'll see you later.
Bye.
- Bye, Denny. - Stop.
- Stop, that was so sweet. - He is so cute.
Oh.
Yeah.
You know I want to.
Well, you have the pool.
You have Hailey's room, which could be for Anna,
which is criminally large.
We got the gym in the basement.
You know, it's funny, right?
You sold it to me, and now I'm trying to sell it back.
Yeah, well, I know where all that asbestos is hidden.
I just hesitate to leave this place, you know?
After Gary left, we floated around
to some shitty situations,
and this is the first place that's felt like home.
I get it.
I do.
Hey, birthday girl, what you doing on your phone?
Hey, lady, you want to join your birthday party?
Sorry. It's just-- it's just my mom checking in on us.
Oh, God.
Tim and her are like my relationship goals.
- Yeah. - Love you.
- You, too. - You, too?
What kind of shit is that.
- What do you mean? - You, too?
- I love you. - That's what I thought.
Are you going to call Tim Dad?
No. I think that ship sailed a long time ago.
Your dad ever call you on your birthday?
No, I haven't spoken to him since I was four,
but I'm not interested.
It's pretty much the only time my dad calls me.
Eric?
Eric.
I'm sorry, but the person you're calling...
Mom!
Mom?
Oh, my gosh. - Sorry.
What are you even doing up
at this perfectly reasonable hour?
- I couldn't sleep. - Sorry.
There's that zucchini muffin you like.
Ooh.
So, are you going to be in trouble with me for something?
What do you mean?
I mean, I'm thinking maybe you got up
to something yesterday.
What does that mean?
Did you guys smoke pot or something?
Did we? No. Why?
Well, because you hate cake, and there's that.
- That wasn't me. - No?
That was Brit. She was begging me for more cake.
I hope you don't mind. Of course not.
Did she like it? - You got Brit to eat vegan?
- Yeah, I did. - Yeah, you did.
Um, I'm just doing laundry.
Do you need anything? - No. I'll do mine later.
Okay. And you girls are going to go out later?
- Mm-hmm. - Okay. Have fun. Be careful.
- Of?. - I don't know.
Bad stuff and people and drugs
and any and all bad things that you may encounter.
- Right. Okay. - Bye, baby.
Bye.
Oh, my God.
Dude, I can't blame you for expanding your horizon.
These boys are still boys, you know?
Like, they're the same ones we knew in fifth grade.
They're just taller. - Stop.
Okay, what are you guys not telling me?
- What's up, Ronaldo? - I'm more Messi.
Ah, I see it.
Hey, you want to do something?
Like what?
I don't know. 7-Eleven.
Uh...
Come on.
Screw it. Let's do something.
Okay.
Dude. I mean, he's no Neil deGrasse Tyson.
- Yeah, no. - He's a nice guy.
Don't you think?
- Eric showed up. - What?
- Stop. - No, he didn't.
Are you serious? - Oh my birthday.
- What did you guys do? - I don't know.
We hung out.
- You hung out?
You can't stop smiling.
I never met anyone like him.
- Anna. - He just gets me.
Okay, you should be careful. You don't really know this guy.
I think I do.
Plus, he's kind of old.
He's not that old.
So is this going to be, like, a whole thing?
I don't know. Maybe.
Hey, you guys coming or what?!
Yeah!
Uh, I'll catch up.
Send no nudes, dude. Sextortion, it's real.
My mom made me watch a whole Ted talk about it. It's crazy.
- Okay. - Okay?
Jesus Christ, where are you?
Um, I don't know.
Sad truck stop somewhere.
I've been calling you since last night.
Phone was dead. Sorry.
You're going home.
Yeah.
I came home, and you weren't there.
Yeah. And it was weird as shit.
Being there with your mom.
No, I know, but Anna, it was too weird.
Like...
I heard her get in the shower, and I-- I got out of there.
You ate a piece of cake.
Oh, man. What a fucking birthday.
You left the plate out,
and my mom found it.
Oh, shit.
I'm so sorry.
It's not funny.
I mean, it's funny, but it's not. I'm sorry.
Yeah. You know, you should be sorry, you psycho.
You, Anna, are the very best thing that
happened to me in a long time.
I'll call you later.
Definitely.
Okay, cool.
Alright, bye.
Bye.
I mean, I think it's enough room.
- Well, yeah. I mean... - Hey.
- Hey, come check this out.
- Is this the place? - Yeah, it's one of them.
Okay, so the ceremony would be here,
and then they have the pole barn as a weather backup.
You can have the fire pit outside and the band out there.
- Awesome. - Yeah.
We think this is the one. - Cool.
- Yeah. - Do you want to see
the other one?
Okay. - I think it's fair to say
this is only interesting to us.
Look at you, Mama.
- It's cute, right? - It's very cute.
- You know what? - Hmm?
Tim is lucky to have you.
What brings on that random act of kindness?
You know, I'm just--
I'm just glad to see you happy.
Thanks, baby. I am glad to be happy.
I just always thought there was a part of you
that didn't want to let yourself be happy is all.
Maybe.
But if something makes you happy, you should honor that.
Right?
I think so, yes.
Agh.
Hey. Sorry, I had a hair issues.
- No worries. - Does it look okay?
- Yeah. - Okay.
I have a boyfriend.
Oh, wow. Okay.
Yeah. Big news, I know.
- That's cool. - Yeah.
You didn't say anything.
I am now.
- Denny? - Nope.
Do I know him?
He doesn't go to my school.
How do you know him?
Oh, this is going to sound worse than it is,
but we met online.
You met on the Internet?
Yeah.
How old is this guy?
He's older.
How old?
Um...
20s, mid 20s.
Mid 20s?
I think so, yeah.
You can't do that, Anna.
You can't do that.
Too late.
- I know, I know.
I need a better attack.
I knew I shouldn't have told you.
No.
I'm glad you did. I am.
I-I just...
What?
I'm worried about you, Anna.
I'm worried you might be in over your head.
I'm not in over my head.
How do you know?
I'm in love.
Anna.
What?
I don't want to keep anything from you anymore.
Good. I don't want you to.
This has been really stressing me out.
Oh, I'm sure.
And we can figure this out.
There's nothing to figure out.
Uh, where-- where does he live?
Really far away.
Like 900 miles.
So, you guys have never seen each other?
No, we have.
Did you--
Are you having sex?
He comes here?
He drives 900 miles to see you?
Yeah.
Where is he?
Where is he now?
He's here, actually.
He's outside.
He's here?
Yeah.
He wants to meet you,
and I want you to meet him.
Are you sure about that?
Okay.
Nobody's dead yet.
It's still early.
- Come on.
- Hey. - Hey.
Hey. Tim.
Eric. - Nice to meet you.
And that's my mom, Beth.
Hey, Beth.
Yeah, yeah.
We're taking all this in right now.
- Sure, I understand. - It's a lot of new info.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Um...
Yeah. Uh, look, let me-- let me start out by saying
I never intended for any of this to happen.
We met online.
- On a poetry forum. - Yeah.
We was-- We were talking poetry.
I mean, that's it. I didn't know
anything about Anna.
I don't know. Really, the truth is we--
we fell in love before we even knew it.
Mom.
- Give her a second. - Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - No, you don't have
anything to be sorry about.
Hey.
We can handle this.
It's a crush.
Hailey did something similar.
I want him out.
What?
He needs to be out of my house.
I think if you make it off limits to Anna,
she's just gonna--
- Get the hell out of my house. - No, Mom.
- Get out now. - Okay.
- Out. - No, it's not okay.
No, if he goes, I go.
- No. - Yes, I go with him.
Eric, can I talk to you alone for a minute?
- No. - Yeah.
- It is Eric, right? - No, no.
- Hey, it's okay. - No, it's not okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
You look beautiful.
What?
I mean...
Hey, come on. Give them a second.
What am I doing here?
Well, that's an interesting question.
I don't know. What am I-- What am I doing here?
What's going on?
Nothing. I-I just have to go.
- What did she say to you? - She didn't--
I just have to go. - What did you say?
Nothing. Hey, she didn't say anything, okay?
There's just nothing to be done right now.
We're just stuck. That's it. - I don't want you to go.
Everybody needs a little break.
I'll come with you. - No, Anna.
You're mom's right. This isn't the way to do this.
Where are you going?
I'll be back.
Okay? I promise.
Look, I know that this is hard for you.
And I'm sorry.
But we felt like this was the right thing to do.
Getting it out in the open.
It'll be okay.
I'll talk to you soon, okay?
Okay.
It's going to be okay.
What did you say to him?
- Anna, take it easy. - Stay out of it.
This will pass.
She has a crush.
They had sex.
- When? - I don't know.
Her birthday or just after he waited until she was 17.
He knew what he was doing.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
It's a hell of a lot of calculation.
Yes, it is.
What if that's not the case?
- It is the case. - How do you know?
Because I know, Tim.
Okay.
I never want to see that man again.
Hey.
We got this, okay?
We got this together.
I know it seems like a big deal right now,
but we got this.
Okay?
Are you okay?
I made you one of your protein smoothies.
Extra mango.
Anna, please.
I don't want you to get hurt.
You understand that, right?
Then why are you hurting me?
Anna.
Jesus Christ.
Did you really think that your mom and her cop fiancé
were just going to grab your man boyfriend in for a big group hug
when they met or what? - No, but I
didn't think she'd go as crazy as she did.
Surprised the shit out of me.
What are you going to do?
I don't know. Eric won't call me back.
Yeah, maybe his future father-in-law cop
freaked him out a little bit.
No, trust me, my mom was way more terrifying.
Look, maybe it's for the best, you know?
Let's not, Brit. Don't say that.
- Okay. - She's not going
to win this one.
Okay.
- I think we look good in it. - Mm-hmm.
I mean, it's-- it's stunning.
- Thank you. - And if you decide you want
to make an offer, just give me a call or...
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you so much.
- Bye-bye. - Bye, guys.
Jesus. - Sorry.
I, uh...
thought you were at the door.
You can't be here.
Well, I mean, sign out front says open house.
It's weird to see you do something other than teaching.
Jesse.
I'll see you in a little bit.
- What? - Those were the last words
that you ever said to me.
I don't remember.
I do.
I guess I just didn't realize that a little bit
could mean 12 years. - We couldn't talk.
- Why? - What was stopping us?
Well, your parents, my husband, attorneys, everyone.
Yeah, but what they said didn't matter.
What you said did.
And then I'll see you in a little bit,
and-- and [chuckles], what?
Nothing.
For 12 years until I seek you out.
Via my daughter.
Well, I mean, that just happened.
You just happened to seek me out on the Internet
and run into her and somehow just end up,
whoops, falling in love with my child?
She's an amazing person,
but I'm sure you already know that.
Whatever you think you have with Anna, it's over.
You're going to ruin that, too.
- She's 16. - She's 17.
And that's your argument?
That she's too young? - That is different.
Why?
Because she's a girl?
No.
The difference is and this is a huge difference,
is nothing ever happened between you and me.
What do...
What do you mean?
- This isn't good, Jesse? - What do you mean
nothing happened? - Something happened,
just not what you think, not what you told the school.
- How can you even say that? - Because it's the truth.
I know this might be hard for you to hear,
but it's important that you hear it.
We were close, too close. That's on me.
I was the adult, and I should have known better, but--
But what?
This thing happens, happens sometimes, Jesse.
People want things to be a certain way,
and so they begin to believe that it's true.
Hold on.
Particularly when you're young,
and there's nothing wrong with that.
You know, I think that goes both ways, too.
What do you mean?
That some people don't want to remember something
so they block it out?
I hear about that, too.
It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
- Jesse. - Beth.
I had always hoped that you found some help.
And I'm sorry that no one ever stepped in to help you.
You need to go home.
- I don't have a home. - Well, I do.
And I don't ever want to see you near it again.
Move away from the door.
Sorry.
I should probably move that, right?
Please, Jesse.
There you go. It's perfect.
You want to tell him everything or should I?
I mean this in the most caring way possible.
You need to speak with someone. - Yeah.
You.
Everything okay?
Can you please just move your car?
Yeah. Hey, Beth.
When you see Anna,
tell her that nothing happened, okay?
That there is no love between us.
That it's just her overly active imagination, that it's just
some sort of psychotic wish fulfillment at work.
Can you tell her that for me? Please, get some help.
You want to help me?
Tell the truth? - What truth?
That you were in love with me
as much as I was in love with you.
I want to hear you say it out loud.
Say it! - Okay.
Let's think about this for a second.
There's two ways this could go.
You want to know what they are? - Sure.
I can handcuff you, arrest you, trespassing,
maybe resisting arrest, haul you off to jail,
hand you off to my real good buddies down there.
It's not my favorite way.
It's inefficient for both you and me.
You want to know the second way?
I'm guessing you do, so here it is.
Get in your truck.
You go home, all the way home,
and you never come back.
How do I know this plays out?
Because I have your plates.
I have everything about you. I know you.
I got you.
So yeah, what do you think?
Option two?
Yep.
Yeah, that's what I would do, too.
Smart.
I get it.
You're not the first person to abuse
their power over me.
Right, Beth?
Hey, Eric.
What do you think?
You think this is over?
This whole messed up thing that you're doing here?
You think it's done?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Me, too.
I was embarrassed.
Okay.
And?
I was embarrassed, so I didn't say anything.
Well, maybe now is a pretty good time to start talking.
His name is Jesse, first off.
He was a student of mine at the academy.
Okay.
I never wanted to have to tell you this.
Jesus, Beth. Spit it out.
There was a scandal.
Or a near scandal.
I was accused of having
an inappropriate relationship with him.
Yeah, a sexual relationship.
I took him under my wing too much.
He developed these feelings for me.
- Okay. - And he ended up
creating this fiction.
But I bear some of the responsibility, too.
He's right. It should have never been personal.
We should have never...
gotten close.
Hmm, okay, okay.
- No prior arrests? - Nothing.
Looks like he lives in an apartment that his parents own.
Not in school, I'm not even sure he has a job.
Hmm. Alright.
Let's keep an eye out for those tags.
Understood? Absolutely.
Hey.
We need to talk.
What is there to say?
I owe you a huge apology.
There's things I haven't told you.
A lot of things.
So, he knew who I was when we started talking online?
I can only assume that he was looking for me.
Came across you and decided to use you to get to me, I guess.
I'm so sorry, honey.
Why didn't you say anything?
I saw him there and I froze.
I panicked, and it immediately brought me
back to that time when you were four years old
and I let this kid get too close to me.
You should have told me.
I was embarrassed and just sick
that I had brought this heartache on you.
Anna. - Mom, just please.
I assigned a patrol car to your street,
keep an eye on you and Anna.
Good.
How's Anna?
Distant.
Yeah. She'll be all right.
Yes, eventually.
I do you have a bit of other news?
- What? - The caterer said they could do
the poppyseed ham biscuits after all.
Come in.
Hey, want some dinner, honey?
Huh?
Okay, you got to get out of your head
and do something dumb and fun.
Remember how you hounded me after Jake pulled that shit
that he pulled on me?
I'm here to hound you back.
I just don't get it.
Well, there's nothing to get, really.
You just landed a psychopath.
Or a psychopath landed on me, which makes me an idiot.
The last thing you are is an idiot.
Let's just focus on the fact
that you just dodged a big, fat bullet.
No! No!
Hey. - Hey.
You're here.
So I am.
Wow. You're killing it.
Thanks.
- You heading out? - Uh, yeah.
I'm going to pick up Brit a little before the party.
- Okay. - Okay.
I love you, Mom.
I love you too, baby.
They're trying to get me to test the wine.
- Uh-oh. - Come on.
The caterers are already setting up.
Hey, this is your last chance to bail.
We'd only owe for the catering.
Not a chance.
Shit. I need you to zip me up.
I got to go. The florist is here.
Love you. - You, too.
Anna?
Is that you?
Hey, can you come sit me up?
Sure.
Don't call your cop fiancé.
Please, just give me a second.
You cannot be here.
And then I'll leave.
They're expecting me any minute.
Do you know why I'm here?
You've put me through enough, Jesse.
So, no, I don't know and I just can't care anymore.
I think you will, though.
I really do.
First things first.
I'm here for Anna. - Well, you can forget that.
Hmm?
She's not here,
and she will never go anywhere with you.
No?
She knows who you are, Jesse.
She knows everything.
You're right about that.
Maybe you should check her room.
So maybe you care a little now.
What do you want from me?
No one believed me.
Not even my dad.
My mom, I think she wanted to,
but mostly I think she just wanted it to go away.
The embarrassment to go away.
For her, for the school.
And then you are the only person I ever trusted.
You-- you turned on me, too.
I heard what you said about me.
Troubled, delusional, I think were your words of choice.
Jesse, no.
And then our phone call.
Do you remember?
- No. - I'll see you in a little bit.
And then I never heard another word from you again.
Jesse, this is not something that we can settle now.
We-- - I tried to kill myself.
Yeah.
That happened.
I mean I failed, obviously.
Jesse.
But to have you call me a liar...
We can't do this, just the two of us.
We need to talk to someone.
- Mnh-mnh. - Just give me my phone.
I don't need to talk to someone, Beth.
I need to talk to you.
But since I've been here, I...
What, Jesse?
Can I show you something?
Please?
Here.
This was that year. This was spring of that year.
- Yes. - I mean, your hair is--
your hair is short.
Yeah, I cut it over the holidays and...
kept it short.
Because I cannot be more perfectly sure
that your hair was long that spring.
I could not be more sure.
I mean, I-I remember specific occasions.
I remember your hair, I remember your face.
But you are-- you're in--
you're in this picture, and...
It was short then.
I'm like feeling, like, messed up
about all of this right now.
I mean, what? Did I just want it so bad?
Did I want it so bad that I-- that I made it up.
You know? I mean, like...
It happens, Jesse. It's okay.
And everything that I've done since falling
for Anne and now? I mean, Jesus Christ.
Because if that's-- if that's the case, Beth, then--
then-- then-- - Then what?.
Then I'm a fucking idiot!
God! Like, delusional.
I'm like what everybody says I am.
I'm wrong. I'm a liar.
Like, all of these years. Like, what-- what is that?!
I ruined everything. I ruined everything.
I ruined your life.
I mean, I know how much you love teaching, and I ruined that.
And I hate myself for doing that!
Oh, my God.
I don't understand.
It's funny.
You're looking at this photo as proof of a truth.
All I see is a lie.
We look happy.
Gary was abusive, cheating.
This photo's bullshit.
I wasn't a capable mother.
I just wasn't.
And then that night in the car.
If I had told the truth, I would have gone to prison.
They would have taken Anna from me.
You get that, right?
What truth?
That I had fallen in love with you.
You were in love with me?
It was wrong.
Mnh-mnh.
Maybe not the feelings, but the acting on them.
What do you mean?
The sex, Jesse.
What happened in the car.
I made a mistake.
What?
Me?
I was the mistake.
I wish I could take it all back.
I wish--
I wish I could undo it all.
See, that's the messed up thing.
I don't--
I don't wish that at all.
Here, your zipper. - No, it's...
No, it's-- Here.
- Thank you. - That's it.
Beth?
Hmm?
Do you think it's possible that maybe...
What?
That maybe you still have feelings for me?
No.
Not like that.
Anna does.
And what are you doing to her?
Oh.
I know it's just a word at this point.
But I am...
so sorry.
Me, too.
I'm sorry I had to record this conversation.
Just happens to be one of those states
with a generous statute of limitations.
That isn't about ruining your life.
It's about fixing mine.
And will this fix you?
In a way I think it will.
You know what? I--
What I've always wanted is just--
just to be acknowledged.
And you deserve to be acknowledged.
Thank you.
Just...
Just what?
Please don't do this.
Take that.
Take me, take my words,
but please just don't take her.
He's not taking me anywhere.
I'm going with him. There's a difference.
You okay?
Yeah.
Thought I said pack light.
Sorry.
We got to go.
Hey.
One second, Jesse.
We got to go.
You should forgive her.
I should forgive her?
Yes.
'Cause that's what you told me this is all about.
Not vengeance, moving forward,
so we can all move forward.
Like you said.
That is what we're doing, right?
I'll go get the car.
Um...
I parked at the dead end.
Apparently the cops drove down every 20 minutes.
Okay.
Just be ready, okay?
Yeah.
Anna.
Yeah?
I'll see you a little bit.
I know what you're thinking.
You think I'm making a huge mistake,
that I'm abandoning you, but...
I don't think you are, no.
Why not?
Because I don't think he's coming back.
You're wrong.
Anna!
I'm so sorry, baby.
There's my lady.
We should go in.
I know.
Thank you.
For what?
For saving me back there.
The only thing I saved you from is prison.
Fix your hair.
It's your party.
Smile.
That is amazing.
