Yeah, mostly.
Well, that's interesting.
So they know he was fired from his job in New York?
No, not really. I...
guess I wasn't as open about that stuff, for his sake.
Okay, so you're open with your family,
just not about the things that might make Jake look bad.
I was just trying to protect him.
Did you try to get him to talk with someone?
You said that he was, uh, stressed, acting a little off?
I thought I could handle it.
Oh, so it wasn't that bad.
Wait. He's sick. Isn't that obvious?
Why are you so convinced?
I'm sorry. I have to go.
Listen, Mia.
What? What do you want?
I know you remember more than you're letting on.
If you testify, Jake faces a steep mandatory minimum.
But if he can prove that he was temporarily insane,
didn't know the consequences of his actions,
he gets out with a couple therapy sessions,
a handful of happy pills
and is given another chance to finish what he started.
It is not like that.
You're the only person who can stop him from doing this again.
To you...
or maybe even someone else.

I'm so sorry.
I would never do that to Aurora.
Never.
We know.
I don't remember.
It felt blank.
Like an empty space.
You're not yourself right now, hmm?
Maybe someone else needs to take care of Aurora for now.
Ajay offered.
Just until you feel better.
Hi, baby.
Come, come, come, come, come.
Come here.
- Baby, come. - Mommy.
Have patience.
Let yourself heal.
Come.

Look, Mia.
This is to protect you and, more importantly, Aurora.
But he's going to get better.
Does that really matter?
How do you know he's not just gonna--
He's sick.
And he didn't get the help he needed.
And when are you gonna get the help you need?

Yeah, she has the Internet like everyone else.
No, no, it wasn't like that.
She saw a storm,

How's Aurora?
She's good.
- Do you have any pictures? - Yeah.
[softly] Yeah.
How are you doing?
Fine.
Gets really hot in here.
Makes it hard to sleep.
I see the psychiatrist every week.
They have me on some medication, and...
feeling better.
Not as, uh...
Not as paranoid.
Ajay wants me to see someone, too.
Yeah?
Yeah, I guess I'm different now.
[somber music playing]
Can you tell me what happened?
I don't know. It's hard to explain.
Please try.
This is bullshit.
- What? - It's just like before.
You write these letters saying
- that you still love me... - [Mia whispers] No.
...and then I get all these documents about a divorce?
Is that why you're here?
Is this what you wanted all along?
None of this is what I wanted.
[indistinct voices whispering]
[haunting music playing]
I just really wanted us to be a family again.
Then why are you doing this?
It's your family, isn't it?
You tell me this isn't Ajay's doing,
and I won't say another word.
- [Mia] No! - [whispering stops abruptly]
There's so much I can't remember.
I just want you to get better.
That's what we need right now.
But do we have to decide so soon?
I won't survive in here without you.
I won't be able to get better.
I want to be there for you and Aurora.
We can be better together.
I want to be there for you, too.
I have a hearing coming up.
My lawyer says that it'll help for the judge
to hear about my paranoia from someone who saw it up close,
that if it goes well,
I'll be released on bail to get treatment.
That's great.
I want you to get the treatment you need.
And then, eventually, we can all be together again.
[pensive music playing]
Don't you think it's strange that neither of us
can remember what happened?
Why is your brother so set on pulling us apart?
What is he hiding from you?
What if there's more going on?
I get it, I'm not what your family wanted for you,

We need to figure out what is going on together.

[ominous music playing]
Well?
He looked so lost.
What'd he say?
They put him on medication,
but I don't think the doctors are doing enough.
He has a mental evaluation hearing next week.
He wants me to testify.
Wait. What?
He's not always been like this.
Mia, he's always been pliable.
That's obviously why you liked him.
You make it sound so awful.
Well, he was into it, so that's on him.
Maybe I did do this. Maybe I pushed him into it.
- Mia, listen to me. Mia. Mia. - I pushed him into it.
I knew he was paranoid, and I didn't get him
- the help that he needed. - Listen to me. Listen to me.
- This is not your fault. - You don't understand.
Two days before the airport,
he texted me, saying, "I think I'm losing my grip."
And guess how I responded.
I didn't.
Mia, everybody thinks they're going crazy at times.
There's no way you could've known.
But this wasn't the first time he asked me for help.
Look, I know you feel guilty,
but this is not gonna change the past.
Crazy or not, that guy deserves to be held accountable.
Did he at least sign?
Why are you so anxious for this divorce?
What the fuck is he saying to you in there?
What no one else is willing to say.
Can you not see that he's just using you to get what he wants?
And you're not?
The guy is a pathetic coward,
and he's turned you into this sad, desperate type of woman
who's making excuses for why she deserves to be murdered.
You make it sound like I don't know what happened.
- Do you know what happened? - Yes, every time I take a step,
every time I open my mouth,
every time I look at my own daughter,

I'm going to testify at his hearing.
Do what you like.
You always have.
[mysterious music playing]
[siren wailing in distance]
[Counselor Evans] And did you observe an increase in this type
of paranoid behavior before you decided to move out here?
Yes.
Uh, he was worried about Aurora.
Your daughter?
Yes.
[Counselor Evans] What was he worried about?
[Mia] Whenever she cried, he would get really anxious
that something was wrong.
He thought she was only safe if he was holding her.
Did you see paranoia manifest
in ways unrelated to your daughter?
He thought his coworkers... [sighs]
were spying on him.
[Counselor Evans] Spying on him how?
He was convinced that certain keywords in office emails
were coded derogatory references about him.
They had a way of using coughs
to send messages to each other behind his back,
to make fun of him,
to undermine him.
What other ways did he feel like he was being monitored?
He kept talking about how someone was
monitoring our calls.
We went to Boston one weekend,
and he didn't want me to use my phone.
So, if I wanted to make a call,
I would have to hide in the bathroom from him
because he was so convinced
that his colleagues were listening
and were gonna use what I said against him.

Although I have my personal reservations,
I feel compelled by the preliminary diagnosis
of paranoid schizophrenia by the state's psychological team
and the testimony presented here today.
I will grant the defense's motion to release the defendant
on supervised bail to receive treatment

Encouragement instead of rebuke?

'Cause that is the nature of marriage.
No.

Forgiveness is not weak.
The only thing forgiveness has brought me is suffering.
Not all suffering is bad.
Stop, stop, stop making excuses. That is all you have ever done.
