[bunniefuu]

911, what is your emergency?

Andy, don't talk to them.

Who?

The police.

That was something,

what your mom did.

- He doesn't want your money.
- Paula Kunde...

Give me his phone.

His car will be around here.
You're gonna drive to Carrollton.

There's a storage place, Get-Em-Go.

I have a car there. Take it
and head north, all the way to Maine.

Find a motel in Camden
and just stay there.

I'm cold.

Is it snowing?

Oh, he's coming back. He's coming back.

Holy sh*t!

I only need one of these.

Oh, right.

- Miss, your change.
- Oh.

f*ck.

Excuse me? Uh, you know
how to get to Get-Em-Go?

"Get-Em" what?

Never mind.

Shepard needs
a progressive democrat

that cares about issues
like climate change

without alienating centrist voters

who may be skeptical
about a female candidate

Mm. Are we
still having that conversation?

Shepard doesn't carry
the same baggage Hillary Clinton did.

But her... choice could tip the scales
one way or the other.

And speaking of baggage,

doesn't Jasper Queller
have more than his share?

Maybe, but he does well
with female voters.

- Paula was right about you.
- Paula Koontz...

Thanks for
talking with us, Ms. Oliver.

Oh, no, of course.

We were hoping to speak
with your daughter as well.

Uh, Andy's gone up
to see friends in Atlanta.

- She's a bit, um... overwhelmed by all this.
- Mm.

You had a bit
of a scare yourself last night.

I understand the police
were called to the house?

Yeah, I feel terrible about this.
Um...

I'm pretty keyed up. And, uh,
I woke up in the middle of the night.

Thought I saw someone outside.

By the time the police got here,
no one was there.

- They were very nice about it.
- Your text said that the man was armed.

If you didn't see anyone, how did you...

No, I know. I guess
I'm just seeing g*ns everywhere.

It's understandable
after what you went through.

Could you walk us through
what happened yesterday?

Sure, it's a little blurry, but, um...

Andrea and I went for lunch.

We were talking

and, um... Betsy and her daughter came over.

And, uh... all of a sudden,
there were, there were g*nshots.

And I remember... seeing a lot of blood.

And, uh... that young man.

It's Jonah Helsinger.

He was so focused on Andy.

I remember thinking,

"God, he's gonna k*ll her."

And I, I just reacted.

I would call it an unusual reaction.
There was a knife lodged in your hand.

Yeah, well, I...

I do have an old injury, which, um...

Which means
there's not much feeling there, but, yeah.

Most of the other people
in the diner

were hiding under tables, but not you.

Do you have children, Detective Wilson?

No, I don't.

If someone threatens your child,

you do anything to protect them.

Something just

kicks in.

I think that's all we need.

You are a very brave woman.

I guess we never really know
what we're capable of.

I guess not.

- Are those your keys?
- Sorry?

Your car is still at the diner, right?

Yeah.

Happy to have
a couple of officers drop it off.

You shouldn't be driving right now.

- That'd be wonderful, thank you.
- All right.

You know, um, I hate to bother
my neighbors with all this commotion.

Do you think you could ask the reporters
to move farther down the block?

No problem.

Hey. Is Andy with you?

- She's fine.
- She never showed up.

Figured she crashed out.

She's, uh... some place safe.

"Some place safe"?

Can you please come over?

- What's going on?
- As soon as you can. Please?

I'm on my way.

Hi. I, uh, sent something to the printer?

That'll be $2, dear.

"The way life should be."

What?

Maine. That's the State slogan.

I've heard it's beautiful
this time of year.

Sure beats this humidity, I'll tell ya.

What the...

Oh, my God.

Is this okay? The water okay?

Mm, it's fine.

Okay.

How'd you get this one, again?

I was bike-riding with my mother.

And... I went downhill too fast,
and the thing went out from under me.

At least I come by it honestly.

What?

My complete lack of physical coordination.

That's not true. You've got volleyball.

Mr. Chapman said
I look like a drunk meerkat.

Don't make me laugh, it hurts.

Thanks for coming.

What's going on?

Where's Andy?

She's, uh... She's on her way to Maine.

Why?

Okay, listen.

Last night a man broke into the house...

- What?
- ...and tried to hurt me.

- Laura, what the hell?
- Yeah, I know.

- Andy stopped him. She...
- Wait. Slow down. What happened?

And is she okay?

Yeah, but it's just not safe
for her to be here.

They know where I am now.

- He's here.
- Who?

Laura, who's here?

- I'm calling 911.
- We don't have time.

What do you mean?

He's supposed to meet someone outside
Macon at three o'clock to get paid.

- So, if we take him there...
- No.

We can see who shows up
and get a photo and a license plate,

- then drop him at a hospital...
- I'm not gonna do this.

Gordon. Gordon, wait. Wait.

What? What?

You knew someone
might come looking for me.

This was always part of the deal.

Okay, listen, Laura. We can call the feds.

- You'll be given immunity!
- No.

By that time,
whoever he's meeting will be long gone.

Do you know how this looks?
Think about it. Me driving him.

f*ck.

It's just, they won't stop.

I mean, they'll go after Andy.

I tried. Oh, my God.

I f*cking tried so hard
to keep both of you out of this.

I can't just sit here
and do nothing, you know?

I don't want Andy having to look
over her shoulder the rest of her life.

We're not married anymore.

Can I help you?

I need a room.

Yeah, $39.99 for a standard
and $45.99 for a river view.

I'll take one facing the parking lot.

- Oh, God.
- What's happening?

- What's happening?
- He's having a seizure.

- Jesus. How bad is it?
- I don't know.

- Is he breathing?
- I don't know!

Hey. Hey. Hey.

We need to find a hospital.

Oh, God.

Hey. Hey, listen to me.

I need the number of the man who sent you.

He's gonna k*ll you.

Oh, no.

f*ck!

Why didn't you ever tell me
how bad it was?

I mean, it never made sense.

That you were still afraid
after all those years. But...

You think it would have made a difference?

Why do they want to hurt you?

Not they.

Just one person.

I have to find a way to reach him.

To make this stop.

We gotta get going, Laura.

I'll drive you to Pembroke.
Catch a cab from there.

You can't help me put him in the ground.

Oh, Gordon.

This never happened.

No one ever stops him.

I'm afraid of him.

He'll take her from me.
He takes everything.

- Oh, Charlie.
- Hi.

- Ms. Oliver, a few questions?
- No comment.

- It won't take long.
- Hey!

Hey. Hey. Back off.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Let's get you inside.

Oh, I need some air.
You want to sit with me?

How long were you waiting?

About an hour and a half.

I saw your car,
but nobody's answering the door.

Yeah, I had physical therapy.
Gordon drove me.

Gordon.

You two back together?

No. Nothing like that.

- You'd tell me?
- Of course.

I was down in The Keys.
I came straight back when I saw the news.

I know. It just... happened.

I didn't expect it to become this thing.

You know, I don't like
the idea of losing you.

I'm still here.

Where's Andy?

Visiting friends.

You know, you shouldn't be alone.

If you want to get away
from all of this, we can do that.

Charlie.

I'm okay.

Just tired.

Can we talk tomorrow?

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll call you.

Yeah.

sh*t.

You're not seeing things clearly.
And reality's complicated.

We simply have to decide how much...

How much a human life is worth.

No!

You guys ready for another?

- What can I get you?
- Uh, some fries please.

And a double vodka rocks.

- Fries'll be out in a minute.
- Thanks.

You're that girl, huh?

- No.
- So, what was it like?

- Hey, could I get those fries to go?
- How'd your mom even do that, anyway?

She's not my mom.

Tell me I'm crazy.

Same girl, sitting right here.

I don't know.

- Come on, plain as day.
- All right, Captain Morgan.

The girl in the photo's a lot younger,
looks nothing like her.

Yeah. Screw you.

I'll get your change.

Thanks.

For what?

Right.

It'd suck to be that girl.

To be paralyzed with fear
while your mom saves your a*s.

You'd drink yourself stupid.

You okay?

You ever have that thing
where you think you know someone,

as well as you could
possibly know anyone, and then,

one day, it's just clear as day,
you were totally f*cking wrong?

I felt that same way about Santa Claus.

Uh, sorry, could I have another,
and whatever he's drinking?

No. I'm gonna get going.

- Thank you, though.
- Oh, come on.

Here's to...

Being wrong about people.

I'm Andy.

Jack.

You're from around here?

Up the road a bit. You passing through?

Yeah, headed north.

Might be coming around
to this place, though.

The scenery's not so bad.

Sorry.

Sorry, I, um...

Sometimes, I just say things.
They just come out.

You know, this is the part
where you say, "That's okay, I get it."

"I've had shitty days too." And, I say...

Right. Sure. That's what I say?

Something like that.

Okay.

I've had a shitty day or two.

I need more.

All right.

Buddy and I had a bet going in boot camp,

which one of us would win
the marksman prize.

We used to bike out to the desert
for practice, until one morning,

I hit a rock, spin out,
f*ck the bike and my knee.

A month later,
my unit shipped out to Iraq,

and I'm pushing paper in Twentynine Palms.

Hoorah.

So, you know how to handle a g*n?

Teach me.

- What?
- I'm serious.

Are you expecting
more trouble or something?

Please?

No way.

Besides, it's not like I got one on me.

Well, I do.

I got it today.

I wanted to feel safe, you know?

Please.

Help me out.

Now you.

Walk me through one?

Square yourself off with your target.

Feet shoulder-width apart.

Just bring that right leg back slightly.

Like this?

Can I?

All right, relax your shoulders.

That's right.

Keep your elbows bent. Grip it tight.

Now, all you wanna see
over your front sights is your target.

And when you're ready,
I want you to squeeze the trigger.

But just do it slowly, okay?

I'm ready to make a statement now.

But I need you to air the whole thing,
whatever I say, no edits.

Okay.

I need it to go national.
I want everyone to see it.

How about an interview
on The Today Show tomorrow morning?

Okay.

You know it was beginner's luck, right?

Come on, I'm a natural.

Mm.

I see some promise.

That's what everyone says.
It's my follow-through that needs work.

Mm.

This is me.

I should head home.

Right. Okay.

Unless, you want a lift.

I'm, uh...

I'm just across the road. So...

Thanks for, um... you know.

No problem.

Just, uh, do me a favor?

Remember not to lock your elbows, huh?

And the knees too.

Whoa.

You okay?

Yeah.

- I'll walk you back.
- Oh, no, no, no. No, it's fine.

- You sure?
- Yeah, yeah.

Good night!
