This is awful. How can you watch this stuff?
Conrad put it on for me.
Where is he?
Get out of the car!
Out of the car! There better not be a mark...
The sealant isn't even dry.
Oh, my God.
What do you have to say for yourself?
I... I didn't know. I'm sorry. - If you're so sorry, clean the car!
- It looks fine to me. - Clean the goddamn car, Conrad.
What's going on? Is this your idea of babysitting?
Look, I didn't come here to cause any trouble for Conrad.
What did you come here for?
Okay, you know what? I think I should leave. It's just-
Darryl, can you take Sarah back to the house? Now. Please.
Let's go.
Nice job, Conrad. This is exactly what I needed from you.
Why is it always my job to take care of everyone else?
You could at least recognize the delicacy of the situation.
- I have tried with him! - Then try again!
This isn't about Uncle Darryl, okay?
I'm not the one who put us into exile.
Okay. Maybe I've relied on other people too much.
I loved your father, and we had a good life together.
But I want more for you. Don't throw it away on some girl you met in a bar.
What do the two of you have in common? Your art?
Shit.
Hello?
Who is that? Hey, um, Conrad, is that you?
Darryl? Can I use your phone?
It's not funny. I can't see.
Please, just stop that.
Help. Help.
Mom?
Mom.
Hi.
Uh, I'm looking for Helen Coltrane.
You must be her daughter Lenore.
I'm, uh- I am Franklin Goodell,
uh, trustee for Sarah Parsons and her mother's estate.
Is your mother here?
Yeah. She's inside. This way. Great.
Oh. Mrs. Coltrane, sorry I'm early. Hi.
Will you like some coffee? No, no. I'm fine. Please.
You're here about Sarah. Yes.
As I mentioned on the phone, I wanted to see if you've made any decisions.
I brought all the paperwork for you to sign.
She's a really sweet little girl.
So brave. Really terrific.
But I just don't think I can give her what she needs.
Oh. Oh, so you will not be applying for guardianship?
You see, I've raised my children to be self-reliant,
but I realize that...
I don't know how to take care of myself.
And maybe I never did when Robert was alive.
And I have to learn how. I'm really sorry.
No, no, no. I understand. I see.
It's- It's fine.
You know, I might be able to arrange for Sarah to attend boarding school.
Could you keep her until the end of the month?
Great.
I'll go talk to her. Give me a call if you have any - any questions.
I'm so sorry, Sarah.
It's not about you.
It never is.
I understand.
No, you don't.
Honey, I lived in five homes before I found the right one.
You know nothing about my life.
I'm so sorry.
But you see how it is.
We're barely hanging on ourselves.
When do I have to go? In about a week.
Good.
Because I'm not done yet.
Packing so soon?
I wanna be ready.
What's this for?
My teeth were knocked out of my jaw in a car accident.
The car accident with your mother?
It must've hurt.
I didn't feel anything.
My dad died in a car accident too.
So?
Just saying. I know how you must feel.
Here. It's your favorite, isn't it?
You can have it. I don't want it.

I've been calling Elise, but she's not answering.
You think our lunatic family scared her off?
Maybe you just weren't that good.
Ow.
Okay, think about it. What do we really know about Sarah?
Come on, Len, she's a little girl. It was probably him.
Why would Darryl rip up my Jack London?
Because Dad gave it to you. See, I thought so too.
But then I found the exact same book in her room with her old address in it.
Okay, so what do you wanna do?
I don't know. I guess I could call Kate.
I have her address. I could swing by.
If it makes you feel better.
You sure you're not taking this too far?
No. I think I could use a little support.
Okay. Okay. I'll stay here and watch Mom.
Okay, we need to stop watching after Mom.
She's supposed to watch after us.
Oh. Well, why don't you figure out what the hell's going on,
and I'll stay here and cover for you. Okay, bye.
Bye.
Hey.
Uh, I noticed you haven't used the workshop yet.
- What workshop? - Uh, the workshop that I built for you.
I didn't put it there to gather dust.
- Hey, are you okay? - I think my blood sugar dropped.
- Well, do you want me to get you something? - No. No, no, no.
Sorry.
Okay, I got to meet Shane in, like, 10 minutes.
Well, that's cool. Just go. I'll meet up with you later.
You sure? Yeah. I'm fine.
Okay. Bye. Thanks.
Oh! I'm actually just closing up.
Um, do you know if the Parsons family lived here?
Till about four months ago.
Is this their furniture?
We're selling the house furnished. Oh.
It's too bad about the woman dying in a car crash.
It's worse than that. The wife and husband died.
Wait. Both parents? Didn't you know?
She ran into him with her car. Like really rammed him.
As far as I'm concerned, she did it on purpose.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so.
And that poor little girl in the backseat.
It's tragic really.
Oh. Excuse me. Yes, Jason.
Uh-huh. The condo is still on the market.
No. Lower. Lower.
What do we really know about Sarah?
He said the mother was unstable. She was abusing the girl.
The wife and husband died.
My dad died in a car accident too.
She ran into him with her car.
He wanted to get her out of there and thought our family could help.
I didn't feel anything.
Mommy?
Mommy, wake up. Mommy! Mommy, I need you, please.
Mommy, please wake-
Now that you're back, you like it here?
Did you miss it?
You know what, Darryl?
I appreciate all your help. I really do.
But we're gonna move back to the city after the summer.
Oh. Well, we don't have to stay here.
I've got money saved.
You know? It'll buy us a house in the city.
I mean, nothing fancy. But if that's what you want.
You know what I want?
I want Robert back.
Well-
That's not what I was hoping you'd say.
He's my husband.
And he got everything he wanted.
The only thing I asked him not to take from me-
He took it anyway.
What are you saying?
I used to, uh, wake up early...
just so I could pass you in that little hallway.
You always smelled like strawberries.
And I-
I had to hear you and Robert every time you...
two were together.
And don't tell me- You need to stop.
that you didn't know, Helen.
You need to stop.
But that was a long time ago.
But now- now- No. No.
There is no now.
After all these years, coming back here was crazy.
I trusted you. What are you talking about? Wha-
You're fucking watching me, Darryl.
You're- You're fucking watching me.
Helen, I would - I would never do that to you.
Just stop. I would never-
Helen, please- Don't touch me.
Helen, I would- Go away.
Mom? Sarah and I heated up dinner.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.
All right. Well, Lenore went out for the night with Kate.
Okay.
Have you seen Darryl?
No. His truck's gone.
He didn't show up for breakfast.
He's been gone all night.
I'm sure he'll turn up.
Hey.
Where'd you get that? Come here!
Hey!
Where did you get this? Huh? Elise gave it to me.
When? Yesterday.
So you've seen her? You've talked to her.
She-
She gave you her I.D.?
Right before she left.
No. She forgot it. I found it. That's all.
You're so full of shit.
What are you doing?
Where's Elise? I found her car. Where is she?
Huh? What did you do?
Nothing.
Your stupid girlfriend did it all to herself.
What did you do?
Huh?
How does it feel?
How does it feel to have something you care about simply disappear?
Just like that.
- Wait.
What?
Could you please explain this to me?
It was your father's idea to bring her into your family.
What, you knew this, and you still helped him?
You don't understand. Chris was manic-depressive.
As her condition worsened, she refused to take her medication,
and she started to abuse Sarah.
Your father was - He didn't know what to do.
He could have told us. He planned to.
And then he was killed. Yeah, by Sarah's demented mother.
Don't blame the girl. She's your half sister.
Did Sarah know?
About us, I mean, before my dad died. Possibly.
She's a confused and lonely girl.
She's trying to understand. Losing - You don't understand.
Before my dad died, he sent an armed missile into our family, and you helped him.
Kate, it's me. Call me back when you get this. I need a ride back to Mom's.
Whatever. I'm just gonna go to the bus stop right now.
Come on, Mom. Answer the phone.
- What did you do today, Sarah? - I played.
With what?
Some junk out there.
Be careful.
Always wash your hands afterwards. - I did.
Tell Conrad I need him. Okay.
I need something. I feel weak.
Why isn't there any food?
Darryl, I'm looking for-
- You have to leave. - What?
I want you out. Please get out of here by tomorrow.
Is that why there isn't any food?
I don't want you around me anymore.
- I understand. But why? - I want it to be over.
Just- I want it to be over.
Sarah, get Conrad. Tell him I need my glucagon shot now. Please.
Sarah.
I'm gonna tell you a story...
about a girl who lived with her mother and father in a beautiful house.
They had everything they ever wanted,
except one thing.
The father would go away on many long trips,
disappearing for days at a time.
This made the mother very unhappy.
She did terrible things to her daughter when her father was away.
The girl would wait by the window for her father to come home.
And then one day the mother found...
that his many trips were made to another family.
He had a whole other family to replace us with.
Then the mother got angrier.
Until one day the father came home...
and wanted to take his girl away...
to a new home- to his other family.
"No," said the mother. "You'll never, ever take my girl away from me. "
She refused to give her up.
And when he went to leave, she smashed into him with her car.
They both died a horrible death.
After, the girl vowed that whoever did this to her family would pay.
Do you like the story?
Son of a bitch.
Do you wanna hear the ending?
It's happy...
and sad.
They're all gone.
Your family's all gone!
How does that feel?
Connie?
Connie!
Shit! Connie!
Connie! Connie?
Connie! Connie!
Conrad?
Connie! Conrad!
Connie!
Oh! Oh!
Conrad, are you okay?
Just wait, okay? I'm gonna go get Mom.
I'm gonna go get...
Mom? Mom?
Oh, my God. Mom?
Mom! Mom!
Okay, okay, okay.
Mom? Mom?
Mom. Mom?
Okay, okay.
Come on.
Okay. Good.
Please stop her.

You can't hurt me.
You don't know how.
No!
Mom. Mom. Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Lenore?
Mom! Mom! Mom!
I can't hold you.
Hang on. I'm gonna get some rope.
Hurry. I'll be right back.
I'm so sorry.
- I can't. - Yes, you can.
Don't be scared. I'm right here.
Mom! Mom!
- Let her go. - Please let me bring her up.
Drop her!
Mom. Mom.
I'm gonna get the keys.
