Terror Starts At Home
Allright, Let's go!
Hi, no one's here right now, please leave a message and we'll get back to you.
Hey hon! Oh my gosh! I've been circuling out LA Ex for like an hour and half!
I'm so sorry I asked you to stay up
so I'll be home, I don't know, probably about 45 minutes or so.
Ok, see you soon, bye
What are you doing?
I can't go to work like this, the bereaved will freak out
David you can take a little more time off!
Four days of daytime tv is my personnal limit ok,
If I see another triumph over weight loss I think I'll kill myself!
- We can go out to the beach. - I can't, Rico is totally overwhelmed.
He had to deal with a whole Thorton family nightmare!
The what?
The family of the body I lost!
You didn't loose it.
Well horribly misplaced then,
for several days, in the wasteland of Echo park!
I just talked to Mitchell,
he said the prints that got off the van didn't bring up a match.
What does that mean? He doesn't have a record?
I guess not.
But I thought there might have been a camera at the ATM so there're looking into that.
Keith! I think I'd like not to talk about this anymore.
OK
Look, I appreciate that you wanna help
I really do, but it's enough that you came home for a few days,
you don't have to solve the case!
Maybe we should call off your birthday party for tomorrow night?
My mother has been planning for weeks!
So your family has to understand.
No! I don't wanna make a big deal out of it!
Pretend that it was a robery is just bullshit!
I just don't wanna upset everyone.
You should tell your family.
Would you tell yours?
Look, I just want eveything to go on as planned.
Ok, Here we go.
So I got Cassidy for tomorrow night.
What's tomorrow night?
David's birthday dinner right? Or did they cancel it?
Oh, shit.
I completly forgot!
Fuck, whatever...
It's ok, I've got Cassidy, Julio is not in love with her but at least she doesn't smoke!
Unless you think it doesn't matter if I go.
You don't have to go if you don't really want to.
Not if you want me to go.
Maybe for David you know.
Yeah, ok.
Come here baby.
And it will be nice for us to do things together.
Oh yeah, it's a real romantic evening, dinner at the Fishers!
Come on Julio, let's go!
What's happening here with you?
Look at Garbo!
She usually hates men.
So, food co-op, funeral home,
Nothing with animals at all?
Yeah, uh no.
well you know but they're... all related in a way you know.
No.
Well, people in grief, you know, they're a lot like
dogs in the sense that you just have to be with them in a totally instinctive way.
I never hired anyone with no dog experience.
How many you had at home?
We had one when I was a kid, it was a terrier but he died suddenly,
and my mum got so upset that she never let us get another one.
Yeah look I learn fast,
Why don't you just give me a trial run? What do you say?
Thing is hon', this job doesn't pay much.
Well I don't need much.
Look, I just can't stand to be around people in pain anymore.
Everytime I walk by this place, it's just.. It just
always look like life.
Ho Here's Maile.
Hey Nesel, Nesel..
speak, good boy, good boy!
What?
It's the slow murder of the middle class.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Are you sure you don't want some tuna salad dear?
Mum I just woke up.
The japanese eat fish for breakfast everyday.
Great
So what's the dress code for this evening?
Well you know, academic cocktail attire.
I don't know dear that's why I'm asking.
Well I'm going straight from the office and I'm wearing this.
With which jacket?
My brown blazer.
But no tie?
That's right, this, with a blazer.
- Morning. - Morning.
Oh, good, there's coffee, is this fresh?
Yeah I just made it.
- How are you? - I'm fine.
- How are you? - I'm ok.
Are you feeling tired dear?
I'm fine mum.
- Would you like some lunch? - No, thank you, I had a late breakfast.
Your bruises look much better.
Yes, because I'm fine.
Have they found the car jacker?
Since yesterday no, mum, I'll let you know if they do ok?
David I was just wondering,
if this person had a gun, you didn't try to argue with him did you?
No mum I didn't try to argue.
Well if all he wanted was the van and you just let him have it, why would he hurt you?
I don't know, it all happened very fast, I told you.
I just don't understand why with so many fancy cars in the city,
someone would wanna take that stinky old van!
Are you trying to find a way to make this my fault?
Oh no, I'm so sorry it's just... None of it makes any sense.
I'm sorry sometimes bad things just happen and it doesn't make sense.
But at least you know, I'm ok.
And it's over now, alright?
How was the scoring session?
Brutal, that medieval fantasy episodes, they..
blast out this inane heroic theme music every time the..
The good prince walked in. Five billion times.
Here.
Thank you.
I found us a house.
A house?
I walked by this place on my way back from lunch,
I was gonne call you but the guy had to go so
I made an appointement for us to look at it tomorrow afternoon.
Ok.
It's extremely perfect, I think.
And big, and it's affordable.
Kind of...Well... you know, I think.
This would be for like now?
Yeah, first of the month.
Look, we're gonna need a place to put the kid, right?
If there is one.
I'm not gonna wanna walk accross the courtyard everytime I have to change a diaper.
Are you ready for all this?
Yeah, are you?
Yeah.
You don't think we're just talking out of our eggs, do you?
I'm not talking out of my eggs.
I'm talking out of my basket.
Did you want us to include the cause of death in the orbituary?
No, thank you, just say he passed away suddenly, please.
And did you want to contact a clergy person for the service?
We already went over this.
- We did? - We're atheist.
I'm sorry.
And if I wasn't before I sure as hell will be now.
Of course.
I polished his shoes.
Thanks. Hey, what happened to this guy?
She didn't wanna say so it must have been a suicide.
Do you have his certificate? I can't find it.
I'm sure it's in the office.
Man he must have been pretty desperate.
What an awful thing to do to your wife.
Hey, I gotta make a quick phone call, could you, sew him up for me?
I'm gonna just go out here, There's a better reception.
Hey, hey it's me,
listen, I can't do dinner tomorrow night I have to work.
But I'll call you later and we'll figure something out ok?
Ok, bye bye.
D'you need some hangers? My mum has got like six thousand under her bed.
No that's ok,
I don't have anything nice enough to hang,
and it should only be for a few days hopefully.
Hot dress, I'm so glad we're the same size.
I can't believe that cunt, changed the locks on me.
I guess she really didn't want you playing with her turtles.
This is the last one.
Thanks.
These are great.
Totally appocalyptic.
Yeah, and better that my stupid self portraits,
but I still feel like they're, I don't know,
pointless.
All these real horrible things happen in the world
everyday that have so much more impact than art does,
like my brother getting beaten up by some random asshole.
I know it's horrible.
But even like some old lady spits at you, and it seriously affects your outlook on things.
Did an old lady spit at you?
No, I mean yes, actually, but it doesn't matter,
but that's what's so great about what you do or like Alexander Myers' work,
it's that it happens to people,
it's not just some image hanging on a wall doing nothing.
I think these images are doing something.
Is this all because Caroline reamed you out for being vacant?
No, it's because I wanna make work that does something.
We should make something together.
Like what?
Like somekind of mixed-media thing,
in some place that people kinda have to be in.
Like an elevator?
Bigger, like a mall or something,
and we'd invite artist who make totally different kind of work,
we'd all be doing our thing while people wondered around.
To make it like unavoidable.
Yeah...I totally love that.
Hey Richard.
Oh good.
George! Hello!
Ruth, this the famous Dean Kekalos,
Howard this is my wife.
The famous Ruth Sibley, hello.
- It's a pleasure to meet you. - No the pleasure is mine,
we're all very greatful for the calming influence you had on George.
Oh no, he's been the calming influence on me.
Well, good for you, good for you.
- Hey, Seamus - Hey Sibley, how are you?
Thank you so much for the geode nut dishes, we just love them.
Terrific, terrific.
I didn't tell you this? We'd been dating for six months,
and he calls me from his car and starts saying something like,
maybe we should be seing other peo.... and he looses cell reception.
Oh my god!
And that was the last time I ever spoke to him.
Did you call him?
Of course, and I sent him several e-mails, nothing, "maybe we should see other peo...",
the parting words of George Sibley!
He's just a racoon, he pulled the same kind of move on Delia in the classics department.
He was the sweetest man while we were dating.
He probably met someone else.
Yeah well, when I heard he got married I stopped waiting for him to come out of the canyon!
How many?
Five! And I had to do "Are you my mother" twice!
How much sugar did you give him?
Oh, they pumped him up with popsicles over at Sandy's.
Now you have to work tomorrow night after I killed myself to get Cassidy
I had to cancel her.
What?
Didn't you say you have to work tomorrow night now?
On the machine?
Oh no that was wrong,
I made a mistake,
David told me that
and then changed it again.
What happened, someone came back to life?
Man, they just kept changing the viewing time,
they kept changing their minds back and forth these people
you know the mother wanted one thing, the wife another,
calling all day changing the casket...
So I shouldn't have cancelled Cassidy?
Can you get her back?
I hope so.
Did you hear him going on about global warming?
No.
He was trying to make the point,
that we don't have enough oil left in the earth to generate the emissions
to create a green house effect.
Was one of your ex-girlfriends at the party?
I don't think so.
A very thin woman, with a mysteriously international accent.
Oh, I did date a lady from the archeology department some time ago.
And how did it end?
What can I say ? I don't really remember.
Did you loose cell phone reception and never call her back?
- Did somebody tell you that? - Did you?
I have no idea! It was a long time ago.
Couldn't have been that long.
As I recall, we just drifted apart.
It's not how she recalls it.
Did you talk to her?
I happened to overhear a conversation.
Well that's not the best way to get information now, is it?
In any case, the green house effect will definetly come to pass if we start to burn coal
as oil supplies dwindle over the next twenty years,
but I don't think even we could be that stupid!
How are you doing?
Fine. How are you?
Ok,
this helps the bruises,
it's homeopathic, but it works.
Thanks.
I used it when I got the shit kicked out of me.
Stay, stay.
Stay, stay,
ok go find him, go find him! Go on, go on!
- Good job, doggy! - Did you time it?
The winner is Shatky at 6 seconds.
So do you wanna be a trainer?
Ah no, not really, do you?
I used to,
I really wanna be a vet, I'm waiting to hear from UC Davis for next year.
I'm sure you'll get in.
It's pretty competitive.
You know you should think about being a trainer,
you're really good with them.
Thanks but, I kinda just enjoy doing this right now.
So, Terry said you used to work at a funeral home?
Yeah.
Kinda depressing?
Kinda.
Hey, do you think Terry would mind if I brought my little girl in here?
- You have a little girl? - Yeah.
she's two and a half.
I didn't know you were married, I mean you're not wearing a ring.
Oh I'm not...married,
anymore.
Hey Bouh, good dog!
Claire would take pictures of whoever was there,
and I'd interact with whoever showed up,
maybe have random instruments around,
and Jimmy you could make those big whale installations around people.
And videotape it.
What would I do? String beads in the corner?
Well people could do that with you.
Yeah but what's the point? What are we saying with this?
I wanna do something really confrontational you know!
I mean the world is ending out there
and people are just getting cosmetic surgery
and watching debutants get screwed up the ass.
That's what my work is totally about.
What screwing debutants up the ass?
American bloat,
our national compulsion to consume food, energy and the rest of the world
until we're so fat we literally explode!
Oh, that's what your work is about!
That works with your idea of doing it in a mall.
Well good luck getting a permit!
You know it's really hard to be creative with that kind of negative commentary fuckhead!
I brought some AMT.
Oh thank you jesus!
- What's AMT? - Alpha-methyltrypatmine.
it's like ex but groovier! Let's do it!
Now? It's two in the afternoon!
Yeah we have to do hard drugs during the day that way you can sleep off the harsh landing!
It seems kind of early...
Oh my god! A dinning area!
This is not an area, no, this is a room.
We could entertain!
Oh we're gonna entertain.
I've always wanted to be one of those people who throws fabulous dinner parties,
where everyone sits around discussing the nature of reality!
This is definetly the house for that!
I will need a set of hostess pyjamas.
I'm gonna need a set of matching pots and pans.
Ok.
Am I sounding like Lucy Van Pelt
Lucy Van who?
Peanuts character,
she's always talking about how she's gonna get saucepans when she married Schroeder.
Is he the genius?
Yeah, he was a musician!
And she was an aspiring psychoanalyst, actually.
Do you know something Schroeder?
I think the way that you play the piano is nice.
what would you say if one day you and I should get married!
Yeah, that was lovely!
I think we should get all new bedding.
I have really nice sheets.
I was thinking new house, new bed.
You are such a little bride!
Ok, we'll get new sheets!
Have you got a condom?
Do we need one?
I don't know, do we?
What are we waiting for? New house, new life!
It's like how many evil diewers do you have to kill
before you become one yourself you know.
Totally.
You're smooth.
I'm insanely thirsty.
I need you so much closer,
So do you think we did it?
I don't know, we might have.
Really?
Yeah, it's definetly possible.
Why are you making all those beeping sounds?
I'm sorry, I'm programming my new cell phone.
Well, it's the one good thing about getting robbed, right?
It's a great excuse for getting a new gadget.
I hope it happens again so I can get a new palm pilot!
I've always been too, I don't know, intimidated or something,
to say this but, I seriously think you're like a total genius!
No way man, let me tell you something,
you are a genius, Ok!
I as fully humbled by your breast suckle baby sculpture.
That was amazing!
God this is so incredible!
You guys gotta come take a shower with me!
Amazing!
It's so like soothing.
Where's Claire?
I'll call her.
So Keith,
what's Celeste like man?
Oh my God that's right!
Even Julio is like "Give give some of your candy"!!
Isn't she kinda crazy in her life?
No, she's just in a crazy situation!
Well they must have you working around the clock, he?
Hours can get long,
but travelling around the country will be a lot be better than just
sitting in a security car trying to stay awake!
What cities are on the tour?
All of them, seems like!
But I'm really looking foward to Austin.
Very vibrant university town.
Boulder is supposed to be beautiful,
Miami I really wanna see!
Compared to being a cop it must be like a vacation!
Yeah, it may not be making the streets safer,
but I feel like Celeste really inspires people you know,
I mean the audiences go home just so high to be alive!
It's kinda cool to be a part of that.
Claire, Claire I don't know if you've friends over there or what
but dinner started and you should really get over here!
Oh fuck, my brother's birthday party is tonight!
My hair!
I'm sorry!
Mum, this is delicious! What is it?
It's the pumpkin mulligatawny,
I made it in honor of David love's of indian food!
You love indian food?
- He did as a child! - I did as a child.
Sorry, I'm sorry,
we were making art.
So Nate, how's the new job?
It's amazing, awesome.
Really? Working at a kennel?
it's not a kennel, it's a canine retreat.
What's so great about it?
It makes me feel like I'm 25 again,
and life is simple, nothing horrible has ever happened to me.
Yeah and the great thing about working with dogs
is that they seem to care about me as much as I care about them.
Sounds nice, maybe I should go work with dogs!
Seriously, we should all go work with dogs!
I've always prefered cats.
Mum, you should totally get a cat!
Why do you deny yourself so much?
I always had children.
We should all just let ourselves have what we want in life.
As long as we're not like greedy imperialists!
I mean it's your birthday!
You just had this awful thing happened, you so deserve to be happy!
Thank you Claire.
Claire, will you help me clear?
I'd love to mum, but I can't have it be just the women who clear.
And now it's just the women and the people with color who are clearing.
Thank you Nate.
He really gets it.
I met your friend the other day.
- Sophie? - Sophie?
I think it was Sophie, a very...
outgoing kind of a person.
Sacha maybe? Where did you meet her?
She stopped by here to say hello to Federico, I believe.
Stopped by here, a friend of mine?
That's what he said I think.
Maybe I misunderstood.
This is beautiful.
Keith, nice!
I noticed your old one got chipped when you got...
that old one was ugly!
This, this is seriously upscale accessory!
It is upscale, thank you.
Mine isn't meaningful enough.
I'm sure it's meaningful enough.
No I'm gonna make it better. I'll give it to you later.
That one's from me.
That was very nice of you.
- What did we get him? - A tie.
A gravy boat!
No it's a neti pot.
A neti pot?
It's an ancient ayurvedic instrument for cleansing the sinus passages
May I see that?
You fill it with warm water,
and add some salt and then you pour it through the sinus like so.
That's ok I get it.
Keep you from getting sick.
I've used one everyday for thirty years.
I hardly had a cold in all that time.
Everyday?
I've never seen you do that?
I do it in the kitchen when I get back from my morning walk.
You do that in my kitchen?
Over the sink.
Where do you keep your nostril pot?
Neti pot,
on the top shelf of the cupboard.
Where I can't reach it, so I won't know about it!
Where it's out of the way.
No, you just want it to be one of your nasty little secrets!
Ruth, that's enough!
Claire!
Could you help me find something tart?
Oh, yeah,
this is my friend Jimmy,
he's a really amazing artist.
Yes I am!
Jimmy, you're not wearing any clothes!
Is David alright? He barely ate a thing.
Well it's shock,
any kind of incident that gets physical.
Those bruises, why would anyone hurt someone
who's doing what they were told to do?
I don't know Ruth,
there's a lot more insanity in the world than people realize.
Sometimes I'm surprised it's just not total mayhem out there!
30, 31
32
Hew! It totally smells like sex in here!
You missed a great show!
Somebody better be planning on washing my sheets tonight!
How was dinner?
It was kind of amazing,
I feel like I've really connected with my family.
I wish you'd been there.
I wish you'd been here!
All these guys wanna do is lick eachother all night.
I just wanna go roll in the grass.
Let's go!
We've some really amazing grass outside.
Tonight?
Isn't there anyway I can catch up with you all in Portland?
Replace me for the whole tour?
That's cold!
I just don't know if I can make it in tonight Dog!
Alright, ok,
thanks!
Dog?
We should all be working with dogs!
God, there were all in full form tonight! The neti pot?
So do you have to go back tonight?
I told them I didn't think I could make it in tonight.
Keith, I'm ok, if I needed you to stay, trust me, I'd tell you.
I don't trust that you would tell me if you'd need me.
Look the show you put on for your family tonight.
I don't want you to lose your job!
Who cares! They'll just put me on somebody in LA.
You don't know that!
So what then?
You're more important to me than a job!
I want my pool.
Come on!
Be real with me on this!
I am, I swear!
If you'd lost your job because of me it would make me feel so much worse!
It really would.
Night!
You're going to sleep?
Unless you have something you wanna talk about?
No, I just have to brush my hair.
You want me to just lie here and watch you?
No.
It's really beautiful!
That's perfect!
Just put your face in the light a little more.
Just a little bit more to the left.
Ok, try not to look sexually objectified!
You sicko!
Come here.
- Wait! - Come here! You have to feel this right now!
Wait! Ok.
Come here.
Oh my God!
This feels amazing!
Can you believe nature just makes this?
Nature doesn't really make it though, landscapers do.
But nature came up with it,
and it's just lying around all over the world for people to roll around in!
No one ever does!
It's so fucking sad!
D'you ever play rolling pin when you were a kid?
No.
Oh no!
Oh God!
Can't even see the wound!
Where was he shot?
Point blank in the head!
Oh my God!
And they had him tied up for hours apparently,
and they just shot him in the head!
Could they tell from the autopsy if he suffered?
I haven't seen the autopsy.
Oh, I thought you were in on all that.
No, we just... we just take care of the funeral.
Excuse me.
911 what is your emergency?
Hello.
What are you reporting?
I can't breathe.
Please hold for paramedics.
Are you starting a new home?
Or just making a new start?
We've got everything you'll need to make your home a heaven of tranquillity and style.
Do you have a history of heart problems?
No.
Are you clammy cold or sweaty?
Yes!
Do you have a history of panic attacks?
No, could this be that?
Sure, shortness of breath without skin discolaration or heart pain, absolutly.
Have you been under any unusual stress lately?
Yes.
Ok sir just stay calm, and relaxed, and we'll have someone there shortly.
No, I'm ok, I think I might be ok.
Sir, to be safe we should probably send...
No thanks, I think I'm ok.
David?
I'm here.
You ok?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You don't look so great.
I had a panic attack.
I called 911 because I thought I was dying!
How humiliating is that!
I thought I was dying when I woke up this morning!
What were you on last night?
I don't really know,
some ex like thing.
I guess it was really strong!
Yeah.
It's fucked up to get carjacked.
It was more than that!
Yeah I can see that.
It was more than this.
What do you mean?
It went on for hours.
At first I thought he just wanted money,
no no, at first I thought he was just this cute boy in distress.
It's ok, I've fallen for like fifty cute boys in distress!
Yeah but then it was like...
I tried to do everything right but it just made him wanna torture me more.
Torture you?
He poured gasoline on me,
and he put a gun in my mouth.
Long enough for me to think my life was over and I know nothing,
I don't even know how to go,
my mind kept spinning trying to grab onto something,
but nothing was enough, not even Keith or anyone, nothing was enough!
I forgot to pray can you believe that? I totally forgot to pray.
That's ok,
God saved you anyway right?
I'm not going back!
I can't, I'll go insane if I have to come back to this!
I don't know what to say.
He doesn't even want me to tell you.
Well, ok, then it's not that bad!
It is that bad!
What, you think he can't work at all?
I think he seriously cannot deal.
Well, I don't know maybe we can hire somebody!
I'm not sure that having some stranger come in here is totally gonna be all that helpful!
Well, it would have been nice if mum hadn't fucked our only intern!
I finally got a life I can stand!
He would do it for you.
Are you available for chopping?
If you so wish?
If I so wish, what does that mean?
It means I'd appreciate if you'd just asked me directly: will you chop the cucumber?
I did ask you directly.
No you didn't.
You were making a point of my not helping you with dinner
instead of just asking me to help!
You've been very mean to me all day.
I have not been mean to you,
I've been upset with you.
What have I done to you?
You embarassed me in front of your entire family,
instead of confronting me directly with whatever it is that's bothering you.
I did confront you directly
and you made it very clear that you did not wish to be confronted directly.
That is completly untrue!
I answered every question you asked me,
as I always do.
You pretented not to remember something that happened less than a year ago!
You forget things that happened yesterday!
Look, Ruth,
the past is not important to me!
I just wanna be here,
in the present, with you.
Yes but there was a time when you wanted to be in the present
with that woman at the party,
she had no idea you were going to leave her,
she went from being in the present to being in the past
without even realizing it!
You are really starting to sound hysterical.
I just wanna know what changed for you?
With that woman or your first few wives!
- It doesn't matter! - It does matter!
What would you leave so many ....
Because they asked too many fucking questions!
That's why!
A very outgoing girl named Sophie she said.
Oh Sophia!
Yeah, she's a young mother from church that I'm helping.
A young mother from church that you're helping?
Yeah, I told father Deagan that I wanted to do some charity work
then he gave me this family to help.
You know like a big brother thing.
How come you never told me about any of this?
You know, it was just between me and the father.
This outgoing young mother, what kind of help are you giving her?
Just like cans of food, old clothes and toys and stuff, like from the Fishers!
You're giving her stuff from the Fishers, but Ruth doesn't know?
Oh no no! She knows,
she just doesn't know that Sophia is the young mother in need.
I just don't know why you would keep charity a secret?
It's the way you're supposed to do charity sweetie.
Oh come on! You tell your wife!
The truth is,
this is something I started to do when you were,
you know, not that easy to tell things to.
When your own family needed you you started helping someone else?
Sometimes it helps to make your own problems seem less bad,
when you help someone who's got it even worse than you.
Hey!
Hi!
What are you, what are you...
- what's up? - Oh I don't know...
Are you ok?
