Yeah, you better keep walking.
Okay, tool.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(PHONE VIBRATING)
(SIGH)
Hello?
Look, I don't have any money to pay you.
I'm sor...
Look, I know what I said last week,
but things are really tight here right now.
Can I just pay you next week?
MAGGIE: Mom?
Please?
Hey, hey, listen, I have to go.
I'm sorry.
Next week.
Hey, mom.
We need some cash for the pool.
Hey, get out of there and zip me up, please.
Okay, but I still need cash for the pool.
Hey, guys.
I gave you five yesterday.
Yeah, which is enough to get in,
but it's not enough if we want food
or drinks.
We could go to the lake,
because that's free.
No, it's dangerous and unsupervised.
I want some food, mom, please.
I'm sorry, I'm out of cash.
Eat before you go.
Sorry.
(DOORBELL DINGING)
That's Richard.
I'll get it.
So...
Where's he sweeping you away to this time?
An afternoon concert at the Philharmonic
and then dinner tonight.
He won't tell me where.
And then next week he's taking us
all to a ball game.
Oh.
Great.
Look, Maggie, he's really nervous
about hanging out with you and your sister,
so he just picked something that he thought
you would like.
Baseball's not the problem.
I'm sorry, I know that I haven't
been very available for you guys.
But
I need this.
I haven't dated in, like,
10 years.
What about Justin?
Hardly dating.
I mean, he was remodeling the house.
Yeah, but you went out with him.
Well, just so he would stop overcharging me.
Can I take the car to the pool?
Yes.
No kids in the car.
Of course.
Now this is a limited edition 1984 Roger Clemens
rookie card.
Wow.
Yeah.
I picked it up at a show yesterday.
Now that's easily worth $500 and if you
hold onto it, for say, I don't know,
like, 10 years, it'll be worth triple that.
Maybe even five times as much.
That's for both of you.
Who's Roger Clemens?
Who's Roger Clemens.
Hey, beautiful.
Hi.
I can't believe your girls don't know
who Roger Clemens is.
Well, we're more of a football family.
Oh, mom, you need to sign my permission slip,
otherwise they won't let me into the pool.
All right, hold on a second.
So, you guys are going to the pool, huh?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, 'cause
I saw a few of your friends heading
towards the lake.
Yeah.
It's okay, I got your back.
I won't tell if you won't.
PEG: Okay.
(LAUGHING)
Hey.
PEG: See you later.
See ya.
Five bucks is not gonna be enough.
No, really?
We could sell this.
I like that idea.
(JOVIAL MUSIC)
What a liar.
It's totally worth 500, maybe even double that.
Well, how much is it?
A lousy 50 bucks.
Split it.
♪ Through all I have seen so much ♪
♪ And now the memories fade ♪
If mom ever finds out that we're not
at the pool, we're DEA
All my friends go to the pool.
Yeah, but none of mine do and I'm
kinda sick of hanging out with little kids.
I'm not a little kid.
Besides, you're only here for Tony.
Am not.
Mm-hmm.
You think I'll pop out as fast as you?
Hey. Hi.
I wish you...
No, I can't.
Lizzie's here.
I'm serious.
You know I'm not supposed to be dating.
Who says that we're dating?
Cool it.
ERICA: Hey, Maggie.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
What's her problem?
She's mad at my mom.
This is the first summer we've stayed home.
Usually we're camping or traveling
or something, but my mom's been
all wrapped up in Richard.
Richard, who's he?
I don't know, he's this guy that owns
a pawn shop.
But anyways, my mom's been going out with him
and leaving us home alone all the time.
And you're not using that to get it on
with Tony?
You're nuts, he's hot.
Shut up, he's right there.
(GIGGLING)
Hey, guys.
Hey. Hey.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
So Peg, will you please marry me?
Richard, I...
Is that a yes?
No.
I mean, I'm sorry, nobody's ever
proposed to me before.
What about the girls' father?
Well, he always promised he would marry me
but he died two weeks after Lizzie was born.
I'm sorry, I just don't talk about him.
I promise to take care of you,
and your girls.
Come on, don't leave me hanging down here.
Yes.
Yes?
Yes.
All right.
Here we go.
Oh, baby, it's beautiful.
Oh, what am I gonna tell the girls?
Well, that they have a new daddy.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah, that'll sink faster than the Titanic.
I'm actually more worried about you than them.
How can I not like any child of yours?
Well, you've never been a father.
Oh, and teenagers.
Maggie's starting her senior year
and she's already a handful.
I coached girls softball, so I know
all about boy crushes and hormones.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Well, Maggie plays softball.
See?
We already have something in common.
And, you won't have to raise the kids alone.
I've always wanted a partner in my life.
Thank you.
I love you.
Come on, let me in.
I can't, no, my mom's not home.
TONY: It's even better.
Okay, okay, you really have to go.
But...
Bye.
(SIGH)
(SCOFFS)
(HEAVY EXHALE)
Hey, Maggie, can I borrow your iPad?
Can you believe mom's not home yet?
Yes, she likes him.
No, she's being weird.
No she's not.
She's trying to be happy.
What's wrong with that?
Well, it's stupid, you know?
She should be herself because that's
what she's always telling us to.
RICHARD: Hey, come here.
(GIGGLING)
Goodnight, sweetie.
Ew.
I think I'm gonna throw up.
Let's go talk to her.
Mom, we need to
talk.
Sit down.
It went really well this afternoon,
this evening.
Tonight.
Dinner.
You girls like Richard, right?
I mean, what's not to like?
I mean, he's handsome, he's well off,
he's a really good man, and he's well-mannered.
And you know he used to coach girls softball, right?
He's great, mom.
I'm so glad that you like him.
What's wrong?
He proposed to me.
Can you believe it?
And you said yes?
Yes.
He's such a nice guy and he's gonna take
such good care of me.
And you.
All of us.
Well that's great, mom.
You know, we had a really good time
at the pool.
Mom, are you happy?
Yes, Lizzie.
Very much.
Come here.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Maggie.
What?
Have you ever seen mom that happy?
She's drunk.
I guess he's not that bad.
And engaged isn't married.
Yeah, but what'll happen if they do get married?
So what?
He works in the city which is, like,
an hour away, so we'd hardly even see him.
That's what you think, huh?
Nope.
Either he's moving in with us,
or we're going to move in with him,
because that is the way that marriage works.
(DOOR SLAMMING)
(HEAVY SIGH)
Oh no.
I hope she gets over him soon.
Girls.
Oh, Lizzie, there you are.
Maggie.
What?
I've decided we're going on a camping trip.
Really?
Yes.
So get packing.
(HEAVY SIGH)
That's the last of it.
Yup.
Time to hit the road.
All right, girls.
Let's go.
LIZZIE: I call shotgun.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)
No no no, it goes there.
No it doesn't.
Maggie, I've done this before.
Yeah, and you do it wrong every time.
And you girls argue every time,
and you're both wrong.
It goes right here.
Help me out.
Hey.
I brought dinner for everyone.
(LAUGHING)
Hey, babe.
Thank you, but we're making hobo dinners.
Oh, the hobo dinners.
What's that?
Dinner cooked in tinfoil.
We always do that when we camp.
Oh, well, all right then.
Hobo dinners it is.
(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)
Okay, what can I do to help?
Well, you can hobo your heinie over to the car
and help me unload.
All right.
Nice tags.
(LAUGHING)
Ugh.
Can you believe this?
Get used to it.
(FIRE CRACKLING)
(SIGH)
Um, I gotta go to the outhouse.
Anybody wanna go with me?
BOTH: No.
I'll go.
(LAUGHING)
I'll be fine.
Hey, you want one?
Sure.
(LAUGHING)
You're a naughty girl, aren't you?
So,
you know, in a week, school starts
in the city.
Actually, school starts in two weeks.
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
Don't do that, you're gonna burn it.
You ruined it.
I like 'em burnt.
Besides, you aren't our boss.
Oh, well I'll be marrying your mother,
so soon you'll be living in my house
and under my roof, my rules.
BOTH: Your house?
Yeah, that's right.
What about our house?
Bank is gonna foreclose on your house.
Don't give your mother a hard time,
she's been through enough already.
Either she sells it or the bank
takes it away.
We've already called the real estate agent.
That's it.
Now, listen to me, there are rewards
for those who are helpful,
and for those who aren't,
don't you push me.

No way. MAGGIE: I saw it.
Okay, I'll go check.
I'm gonna go check right now.
I saw it.
Come on, come with me, come on, come on.
Come on, girls.
(CHUCKLE)
All right, girls.
Help me unload and...
Okay.
Oh, man, if we're doing more of this camping
I'll have to buy us an RV.
I can't sleep on the ground, it's killing my back,
sweetie.
Richard, I should've told them.
I just didn't want them to give you a hard time
about it.
Well, it didn't work.
Did they say something?
No, it's just when they don't
is when I worry.
Come on, it'll be okay, they can't
stay mad forever.
And I got your back, whatever you need.
Okay?
Okay.
You unload the car, I'm gonna soak
in the bath.
(PIANO MUSIC)
Oh, Maggie.
Your dad was sure handsome, huh?
He really loved holding you.
You know, he was the only one that could
get you to fall asleep.
He would sing you old Beatles songs.
I wish I could remember more.
You know, I know that this is hard,
but you're gonna have to get through it.
Maggie, when I was your age I worked two jobs.
You have it pretty good, and Richard's
got a nice, big home.
Richard is a total jerk and you don't see it.
Don't be rude.
All you care about is Richard.
That kind of disrespect is not acceptable.
Moving is unacceptable.
This engagement is unacceptable.
And Richard is a total scumbag.

She's been different since he's been around.
Have you seen Tony?
No.
I mean...
What's going on?
I told you if you didn't put out...
Maggie.
Maggie, I'm sorry, okay?
I just...
Living room is all packed up.
What's wrong?
Maggie hasn't come home yet.
Just an excuse to avoid work.
No, I slapped her.
And in the end, it'll make her stronger,
you'll see, now give me some plates.
Mom, it's Maggie.
Something's wrong.
Where is she?
She's outside.
Oh man.
It's Maggie.
She's been hurt.
Maggie.
Hi, mom.
Oh my god, you smell like booze.
All right, let's get her up.
Come on, come on, sweetie, let's get
you up now.
Come on up.
She beat up Tony and his new girlfriend
hit her on the head with a bottle.
She beat up Tony?
Maggie, who's Tony.
He's a jerk, mom.
He had it coming.
Oh god.

Don't worry about it.

(VIOLENT COUGHING)
How long?
How long have you guys been skipping the pool?
Lizzie.
All summer.
MAGGIE: Shut up, Lizzie.
No one her age is at the pool.
Has she been drinking all summer long?
There's always people drinking.
I can't believe you two.
And who's Tony?
He's no one.
(VIOLENT COUGHING)
All right, stay with her until she's done.
I'm gonna go check on Richard.
(PANTING)
Lizzie said that they've been going
to the creek all summer long.
Wow, so no supervision all summer.
Oh, sorry.
This probably isn't the first time that
she's been drinking either.
Well, first time she got caught.
Probably
sex and drugs too.
You know, she brought this Tony
to my house.
Huh, she's gonna be a real handful next year.
I'm just glad the high school she's going to
is proper.
Hope she fits in.
Yeah.
Me too.
(MELLOW, OMINOUS MUSIC)
Holy hell.
Lizzie, language.

Hey hey hey.
My family.
My beautiful bride.
Hey, baby.
Hello.
I was just having a little dip
in the pool.
There's a pool?
There is.
It's a cool place, Richard.
Thank you.
Oh, I do have some ground rules.
I have some expensive artwork and collectibles,
so please don't touch them.
Also, that's my office in there.
That's off-limits, that's my space.
Can I go check out the pool?
You can, go ahead.
I have something cool to show you.
Wait right here.
Now your mother said that
you play softball.
Huh, Babe Ruth.
Yeah, Babe Ruth.
It's been authenticated.
That's his real signature.
Worth a lot?
Oh oh oh, some treasures you can't
put a price on.
You wanna see your room upstairs?
Guess I should.
(LAUGHING)
You're doing so good.
Well, I'm a little nervous.
Don't be nervous.
Am I sweating?
You're sweating a little bit, yeah.
Okay.
I think she's gonna like her room.
Would you like to see your room?
Mm-hmm.
Let's go on up.
It's pink.
Yeah it is.
Well, yeah.
This was the previous owner's daughter's room.
I just haven't had a chance to repaint or anything.
I'm sorry.
Well,
maybe you'll let Maggie repaint it.
You know, she's an artist.
Oh yeah, sure, whatever you want.
Maybe.
This is your room.
You paint it whatever color you want.
Thank you.
RICHARD: You're welcome.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
Maggie, I know that change is hard,
but sometimes it's for the best.

Have a nice day.
Here's your class schedule.
Wood shop?
No, I didn't ask for any of these classes.
They're all we had left.
Hello.
I'm Chip.
I've been forced to be a peer mediator
because I was deemed a recluse by
Principal Donnermeyer.
Hello, Chip.
You keep that up, and you will be suspended.
Right, well, Chip, thanks but no thanks.
It's a big school.
You'll get lost.
Hey, watch it, you ass.
What?
I wouldn't cuss too loud.
Donnermeyer hates that.

I'm Maggie.

It was boring.
I don't suppose you know anything
cool to do around here.
Sometimes.
I work a lot.
Yeah, where do you work?
At my dad's pool company.
Neat.
So there's this thing on Fridays
where a bunch of us, you know,
like, listen to music and hack.
Maybe you wanna stop in sometime.
It's cool if you don't.
(LAUGHING)
You hack?
Like computers or like
back accounts?
No, it's like we practice hacking,
like, each other.
Of course.

really wanna do school on Saturdays.
Okay.
Richard is golfing so you be good.
Okay.
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
Yep.
No no, five G's, don't insult me.
Are you crazy?
It's not worth my time.
It's gotta be 50 G's or nothing.
Oh, that's crazy.
Now look,
five G's, that's an insult.
(DOOR SLAMMING)

(HEAVY SIGH)
All right, let's see what our little
girl's been up to.
She...
What the hell?
We all have secrets, Maggie.
You keep mine,
and I'll keep yours.
Now that I've seen you,
you can stop coming onto me in front
of your mother.
That's not polite.
Oh,
and don't you ever steal from me again.
You understand me?
Hi, sweet pea.
PEG: Hey.
RICHARD: Did your afternoon go better?
PEG: Oh, much.
Thank you.
Maggie give you any trouble?
RICHARD: Nope, not even a little bit.
PEG: That's nice.
(DOOR KNOCKING)
Who is it?
Hey, babe.
Popcorn?
I'm okay.
What's going on?
Well, mom,
I guess I gotta tell you something.
What?
I don't really know.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hey.
Hey.
I'm gonna run down to the convenience store
'cause we're low on beer.
I just bought you a six pack.
Oh yeah, well, Lawrence stopped by.
We had a few.
You just missed him, sweetie.
PEG: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
So Maggie, family movie night, 15 minutes,
everyone downstairs, sound good?
Be back in 10.
Okay, babe.
Maggie, what's going on?
Do you mind if I just skip the movie night?
No.
No, baby.
Just feel better, okay?
(OMINOUS, SOMBER MUSIC)
Hey, come on.
Hey, come on, give it back.
Get off of him.
Hey.
Enough.
You two, come with me.
Mrs. Taylor, we have procedures here.
If someone did touch Maggie, she should
have come directly to me.
We have a zero tolerance policy
towards violent behavior.
I'm afraid she will have to be suspended
for three days.
Three days?
Yes, and I would suggest that she review
the dress code guidelines.
We like to give our students the freedom
to dress how they want, but some outfits,
they're just overly suggestive.
And while Maggie's suspended, she is not
to be seen on the campus for any reason.
I just don't believe this.
I do.
This place is full of idiots.
Maggie.
I'm sorry.
DONNERMEYER: Chip, get in here.
Maggie.
Hey, hey, wow, what's going on?
Suspended.
Three days.
Whew, wow, she must have really
hit that guy hard.
You know, I've never seen her this angry.
I don't know.
Maybe she needs counseling for all the drinking
and I wasn't paying any attention.
I didn't know what she was wearing.
She's always just been my little Mags.
You know, counseling never works
unless the person who needs it wants it.
Now that's just my two cents.
Yeah, you're right.
Look, a lot of people are giving up
their prep time to cover my classes.
Go, get out.
I'm home, she's fine.
Thank you.
Yep.
(OMINOUS TONES)
Now I don't care what Vice says they found,
I don't handle the sales ticket.
You pin it on Gary.
That's who's being paid to take the fall,
you hear me?
Now get the pawn shop open again.
I got a lot of money to run through there, dammit.
(HEAVY SIGH)
(HIP-HOP MUSIC)
Well well well, will you look at this day.
Just a little vodka.
I figure we would finish off the bottle
you were sneaking from last night.
I wasn't.
(LAUGHING)
Come on, now, don't lie to me.
Liars are unattractive.
Don't make me call Peg.
(CACKLING)
Let's get rid of the evidence.
(SATISFIED EXHALES)
It's always better to have a drinking buddy.
Buddy.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah.
Hits the spot, doesn't it?
(LAUGHING)
Did you know my father's favorite drink's
a Mai Tai?
Huh, no clue.
(LAUGHING)
Woo.
(GIGGLING)
We are having scotch.
Oh.
You
are bad.
And you
have no idea.
(GIGGLING)
Oh my god.
Can you imagine if mom walked in right now.
You let me worry about your mother.
You just enjoy that drink.
Oh.
Thank you.
Mm.
(OMINOUS TONES)
Stop that.
Stop it, I'll tell my mom.
She won't believe you.
Uh huh.
She won't believe you, because you're a drunk
and a liar, and you've been asking for this.
No.
Yes, and that's why you didn't say
anything yesterday.
And now there's no going back.
You'll do what I say, when I say it
and you won't ever say a word, ever.
(HORRIFIC TONES)
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(HEAVY BREATHING)
Man, do you have mom Peg?
Hey.
She kept telling me how she can't trust you anymore
and that she doesn't know if a boy
really grabbed your butt or if you
just let him, 'cause you're kind of a tease.
Did he?
Yeah, he did.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm fine.
Well, Richard talked mom into letting me
babysit the people down the street tonight,
even though it's on a school night.
And I met a cute boy at school.
His name's Adam Roth.
He's into modeling, you know?
Wow, good for you.
You know, I never thought I'd be glad
to say that they got married, but Richard
is actually a cool guy.
Stay away from him.
Maggie, why would you say that?
Just be careful.
Okay?
Okay.
I'm gonna go do my homework.
Okay.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
Hey, hey hey, where are you going?
It's getting late.
Lizzie isn't back yet.
I'm getting worried so I thought
I would go down there and grade some papers
until she came home.
Come on, you've worked enough today.
She's fine.
Besides, she's got a key.
Right?
Maggie, what are you doing?
Why are you so late?
They locked their keys in their car.
What are you doing up?
It's a school night.
Not for me.
Remember?
Oh, right.
200 for Mexico.
Mexico?
Yeah, it's a summer school trip
with Spanish Club.
We moved here too late to sign up,
but someone canceled.
Wow.
Mom's letting you go?
Well, I figured I'd save the majority
of the money up before I asked her,
that way I have a better chance.
Did you know that mom ran away
when she was 16?
No, seriously?
Yeah.
Why?
I don't know.
But she said that she had the time of her life
and that's where she met dad.
Really?
I thought she met him at a movie theater.
No, she made it up.
He worked in a restaurant.
(GIGGLING)
Tell me again what he was like.
(HEAVY SIGH)
He'd come home from construction,
and he'd be wearing this dirty blue shirt
and it had Jason written in cursive.
I remember I'd untie his laces
and I'd take off his boots.
And mom would get so mad because there'd be
sand everywhere.
(GIGGLING)
But I didn't care, because it meant
that he was home
and I was on top of the world.
Sometimes I feel like he's watching me
from heaven.
Me too.
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
Hi.
I never got to thank you earlier.
So thank you.
No problem.
Are you okay?
I mean, your suspension?
I'm sure it wasn't all that bad.
Oh it really sucked.
Hey, what's wrong?
You look miserable.
It's nothing.
Ow.
What are you doing?
I'm not looking for someone to come
and save me, Chip.
Maggie, my cousin killed herself cutting.
You know, it's always something else,
that's what they taught us in peer mediation.
It's something else.
So what is it?
I can't.
He will hurt me, or he will hurt my sister.
Where's your dad?
He's dead.
I'm sorry.
So you get yourself out of the situation.
Child Protective Services can help you.
That's just gonna get my mother into trouble.
Besides, I have no proof, okay?
No one's gonna believe me.
And why not?
Because he's rich.
I'm 18 in a few months.
I'll be fine until then.
In mediation, they tell us that
the abuse won't stop until you get yourself out
or until you're dead.
You have to get yourself out, and if you need
any help
I will do everything I can to help you.
Thanks, Chip.
(SAD MUSIC)
Maggie, I just made $100.
Babysitting?
Yeah, I'm close to 200.
Oh yeah, mom wants us to help put dinner on.
I'm going to run away.
Maggie, that'll only bring more problems.
He hurt me.
Again.
Last night.
I'm leaving.
There's this little town my dad grew up in
and you know my mom actually met him there
when she ran away.
So,
I thought I'd check it out.
You're not even done with high school.
And when they find out you're only 17...
So I will get a fake ID, Chip.
But you were right, you know?
I can't stay.
All right.
But I do need your help.
Running away?
No.
Insurance.
Kyle, Kyle, you are the man.
(CACKLING) Yeah, screw those Vice bastards.
They can choke on one of my baseball bats.
Make sure John Carl gives you some cash next week,
all right?
Yeah.
Business as usual, nothing changes,
but more importantly, Kyle, I don't change.
(CACKLING)
Whew.
It's a beautiful day for a baseball game.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah, only if I didn't have all these papers to grade.
You're not ready?
We gotta leave in 15 minutes.
The game starts in an hour.
I'm assuming that's not your first.
No, it's not, it's a holiday weekend.
It's a big game.
PEG: You know, I just wanted it to be
a family weekend.
Well, Lizzie's babysitting.
RICHARD: Good for her, she's a hard worker.
Good for Lizzie.
And Maggie's been invited by a friend's family
to go camping.
And she leaves tonight.
You're gonna let her spend the weekend
with her boyfriend?
I mean, what are you thinking?
He's not my boyfriend.
Look, Maggie's been working really, really hard
and her grades are up.
You know, if I think it's okay,
then I'll agree for her to go.
Okay.
Well, don't come to me when she gets pregnant,
for money or any help.
I'm serious.
Really?
(DOOR BELL RINGING)
Oh, it's Chip.
Come on in, Chip.
Hey, Chip.
What's going on with the pool?
Seems to be a lot of algae in it.
You not use enough chlorine?
Whole lot of algae in the pool, right?
Stop that.
Hi, I'm Ms. Taylor.
Hi, Mrs. Taylor.
So when do you guys leave?
In a couple hours.
Oh, okay, and where are you going?
CHIP: Cedar Falls.
Oh we love that place.
Yeah.
Okay, Maggie, I want you to answer
your cell phone no matter what time I call.
Understand?
And just have fun.
So
I can go?
I say yes.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna go get my stuff.
Hey, Chip.
So you're gonna keep your hands
to yourself, aren't you?
Right?
Yes, sir.
Good boy.
Hey, we gotta go.
We're running late.
Have a good night, guys.
(HEAVY EXHALE)
Let's do this.
(DOWNBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Whoa, is that...
Yeah, that's his prized possession.
Babe Ruth signed it.
Come on, I think it's over here.
CHIP: Give me the camera.
Okay.
It's empty.
No no.
No, it can't be.
He used this one.
What about that?
That has a password.
Give me a minute.
Okay, I've just gotta grab some stuff.
(EXCITING MUSIC)
I'm sorry, sis.
How much longer is it gonna be?
They're almost home.
I almost have it.
The first five letters are o, i, y, m, p.
Olympus Pond.
Wow, we're in.
All right, let's get the pictures
and let's go.
Look at this.
He's been spying on your family.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
(PHONE SHUTTER CLICKING)
And there's a log here.
Okay.
(PHONE SHUTTER CLICKING)
Okay.
That's it, Chip.
Let's go.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
Keep your cell phone off.
They can use it to track you.
I can't.
Please.
Thank you for all of your help.
And make sure he gets the message tomorrow night.
Yeah, he'll get it.
(SORROWFUL MUSIC)
I'm Charles.
Most call me Charlie.
Friends call me Chuck.
I'm Maggie.
Come on, let's go.
Cool notebook.
I used to do that back in school
with the eraser.
Yeah, it's my mom's from when
she was my age.
That's nice.
I never knew my mom.
She took off when I was five.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm not.
Ever been to Anita Rosa?
You?
Yeah, I got a place downtown.
It's nothing special.
I'm a mechanic by day.
MAGGIE: And by night?
Other stuff.
Oh.
That's cool.
(SOOTHING, ADVENTUROUS MUSIC)
Oh, are you military?
No, I just wanna appear that way.
Oh.
It was good talking to you.
You too.
Hey.
Hey, sorry.
I've got allergies.
Yeah, okay.
Look, I was on the street once
and it sucks.
I got a room.
Not with me, a spare room.
It's not the Hilton but it's better
than a bench.
Yeah.
Maybe just for the night.
Sure.
Come on.
It's my latest project.
Come on.
What the hell, who's this?
She needs a place to stay for a few days.
You're letting her stay here?
I let you stay here.
How do I know she's not a cop?
I said she's staying.
All right.
Whose room is this?
Nobody's.
Stay as long as you need to.
You aren't a narc, are you?
No.
I got two rules.
Rule one, don't screw me over.
And don't go in the basement.
Cool.
I'm just gonna be here until I can find a job.
Got ID says you're 18?
I am 18.
(LAUGHING)
No.
Do you know where I could find one?
Yeah.
I'll hook you up.
Goodnight.
(HEAVY SIGH)
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
(TELEVISION BLARING)
(SIGH)
Maggie.
I'm Crystal.
Dammit.
Ugh.
They shut my service off.
You have a phone, do you?
No.
Oh.
All right, look, I gotta go.
So,
watch him.
Okay, I guess.
What's his name?
For how long?
Okay.
What's your name?
Hi, hon.
Hey, mom.
Did Mr. Peterson walk you home?
He just watched from their house.
And he could see you?
Yeah, well he didn't go in until I waved to him.
Hey, I just made 50 bucks.
Oh, good job, honey.
I know.
Hey.
Do you want the spoon?
You are spooky, kid.
Come on.
One more bite and then I'm gonna
give you a bath.
What?
Mom, my money's gone.
What?
$320 is gone.
Maggie asked me for money and I gave her 20.
I'm calling her.
You know Maggie hates me.
Oh stop it, she doesn't hate you.
She does.
I've been wanting to tell you something.
What?
I feel like she's trying to set me up.
She's been very suggestive with me.
Whenever you're not looking, and it started
when you guys first got here.
Why wouldn't you tell me something like that?
Because I'm afraid she might tell lies,
the way she told lies about the boys at school
and accuse me.
Accuse you of what?
Now she hasn't done it yet, but she's
threatened to.
So I'm afraid to make her mad, I just
hide in my office until she leaves.
I can't believe this.
I thought things were going so well.
And I'm also missing a bottle
of tequila.
Oh great.
Lizzie, we're going to the campground.
Sorry.
I'll be back. Yeah.
(SOBBING)
Where's Crystal?
She went out.
She hasn't come back.
You didn't let anyone in, did you?
No, no one came by.
Let's go.
Hey, I'm CJ.
Hey.
CHUCK: Let's go.
All right, man, chill.
It's nice to meet you.
(WHINING)
That's crazy.
So Maggie's disappeared with Lizzie's money.
(CACKLING)
I totally planted the seed.
Yup, I totally set the whole thing up.
Yeah, even Peg.
So Peg thinks Maggie's coming onto me.
(VILLAINOUS LAUGHTER)
Oh shoot, I got a text.
Hold on.
What?
Let me call you right back.
Dammit!
Kyle,
I need you to get a tap on Maggie's phone.
I don't care what it costs, get it done.
We're in a lot of trouble.
She got in my home computer.
Any answer?
No, nothing.
It's straight to voicemail.
Maggie?
RICHARD: Hey, is your mom there?
Okay, you're on speaker.
Hey, Peg.
Hey something crazy has come up at work,
so I'm not gonna be able to make it.
I don't know when I'll be back.
That's okay, babe.
Most likely we'll find her drunk
at the campground.
All right, well make sure you call me
if you do, 'cause I'm worried.
PEG: All right, thank you.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
(GRUNTING)
Just drove it in yesterday.
It's the best stuff on the market.
Yeah, it better be for the price.
Okay, okay.
See you around, okay?
Yeah, sure.
Do it.
What are you thinking going out like that?
I have business.
BS.
I'll see you around, bud.
Thanks, man.
Thank you.
Wow.
Look at you.
Mom of the year.
I just washed him.
I am so tired of sitting here
while you hook up with other chicks.
Slut.
Hey.
(CLASSY MUSIC)
(BUSTLE AND CHATTER)
What are you doing here?
I'm applying for a job.
Look, I buy a little weed from Charlie
every once in awhile, okay?
But I gotta tell you, that place is not safe.
I know.
I'm only gonna be there for a little bit
until I can get a job.
CJ?
We have customers.
I know, Joe.
This is Maggie.
She's applying for a job here.
Hi.
You're 18?
Yes, sir.
I don't have my ID, but
I am.
You vouch for her?
Of course, she's a good friend
of mine from school.
If you'll vouch then it's good.
$8.50 an hour, we all split the tips.
When can you start?
Right now.
Tomorrow, you bring your ID.
Yes, sir.
Good for me.
(GIGGLING)
(WATER BUBBLING)
You little son of a bitch.
Messing around in my office.
Get over here.
Come here.
You're gonna tell me where to find Maggie.
Huh?
Where?
I, I, I?
Now you're gonna tell me where to find Maggie right now
or this pool's gonna need a whole lot more
than chlorine to clean it.
You understand me? CHIP: Please.
Huh?
Do you understand me?
(SOBBING)
Let's see what's in here.
It's okay, babe.
Mom's just looking for something.
Oh.
Miss Maggie was holding out.
(CRYING)
It's okay.
Stupid.
Thank you so much.
Ah.
You did great job, Maggie.
Aw.
Now, here are your tips.
Thank you.
(HEAVY EXHALE)
Um,
I was wondering if
maybe
you can remember a John and Peg Taylor
that worked here?
It was about 18 years ago.
I bought this place five years ago
and the owner before me passed.
So I don't know.
Well,
it was a long shot.
No, sorry.
CJ.
Yeah, Joe?
Walk Maggie home.
Okay.
Ó_ And then get back here for dinner, okay?
Sure.
11 o'clock tomorrow.
That's the start of the lunch shift, all right?
Be on time.
Yes.
Oh, and don't forget your ID.
ID.
All right, put that stuff away
and we'll head home.
Okay. All right.
Thanks for walking me back.
Hey, no problem.
Look, if you want me to stop in later,
'cause this place is kind of...
Sure.
Yeah.
CJ: See you later then.
MAGGIE: I'd like that.
CJ: All right.
MAGGIE: Okay. CJ: Bye.
MAGGIE: Bye.
(HEAVY BREATH)
Okay.
Time to go bye bye.
Chip?
Oh no you don't.
I know you're in on this.
Camping, really, Chip?
You lied to me.
Where's Maggie?
What happened to you?
I can't say.
He will kill me.
Listen, if Maggie's in trouble,
you need to tell me where she is.
Tel me where she is.
Screw him.
He's just a bully.
I gotta show you something about Maggie.
At your house.
Let's go.
It look exactly like you with shorter hair.
Shauna McLaughlin.
Okay.
This could work.
I mean, people's driver's licenses don't
usually look like them anyways.
The height and eye color match,
that's the most important part.
And I got a social security card.
Okay.
Where'd you get them?
Where's the kid?
He's asleep.
I just wanna make sure that if I use these,
I'm not gonna get arrested.
The address is in Pittsburgh,
don't use it there.
Okay.
How much?
For you?
175.
I mean, the social security card
cost that much itself.
Let her have it for 150.
Where are the guns, where are the guns,
where are the guns?
(GUN FIRING)
(SCREAMING)
Where are they?
Screw off.
(GRUNTING)
Tell me.
They're in the basement.
Shut the hell up.
You, show me.
Go.
You, on the couch.
You, on the chair.
Now!
Get the hell back here!
Sit your ass down.
Oh no.
You smashed Richard's computer?
No.
Chip, I need you to start talking to me right now.
You got it.
What?
We need to go to the police right now.
They're the only ones that can get
the data off this drive.
What?
Ms. Taylor,
your husband was abusing Maggie.
No.
I have the proof right here.
No.
No that can't be true.
That can't be true.
I'm sorry, but she ran away before he killed her.
Where?
Where did she go?
Anita Rosa.
Anita Rosa?
Oh my god.
What?
What, mom?
Wait, where are you going?
I'm going to Anita Rosa.
I know where she went.
Chip, you take Lizzie and that disc
to the police right now.
Okay.
Mom, what if Richard hurt Maggie?
He could hurt you too.
Oh, that's not gonna happen.
I'm gonna go get Maggie.
You do as you're told.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
What?
You got a hit, where?
Anita Rosa?
You gotta get somebody to go to my house
and clean up my computer.
Hey, hey hey, you did a good job.
Good job, buddy.
Guys, I'm busier than a one-arm paper hanger, please.
Look, if you knew anything about computers,
you know that the data is still in there.
I don't know, it looks pretty busted
up to me.
But, I'll send it to CSI guys and see
what they can do with it.
But you're telling me that this hard drive
with all that illegal content on there,
belongs to Richard Banister?
He was hurting my sister and now
my mom's looking for her.
But I'm just afraid that he's gonna
do something bad.
And he's the Richard Banister from Olympus Pawn Shop?
We raided his shop a couple weeks ago.
Part of a sting operation for illegal goods.
But it looks like he's gonna skirt
the charges on a technicality.
This is your dad?
Step.
And everything on that hard drive is his?
I told you.
Where's your mom?
On her way to Anita Rosa to get my sister.
What's her phone number?
310...
Sit down!
They're not all there, man.
(LAUGHING)
Did you think I'm stupid?
Get up.
You're gonna show me where they are
or I'm gonna blow your brains all over
this friggin' floor.
Tell 'em, Chuck.
It's not worth dying over.
Yeah, Chuck, they're not worth dying over.
(GRUNTS)
The park.
I buried 'em.
Well, get a shovel.
Now!
Get up.
Cover them.
One wrong move, you're dead.
Hello?
DETECTIVE WILSON: Peg Banister, please.
No, it's Taylor.
Yeah, whatever.
Who's this?
Detective Wilson.
I have your daughter here and some very
disturbing footage on a hard drive
that I think you're gonna wanna see.
That bastard.
I'm on my way to get Maggie now.
I'll come straight to you.
No, I don't advise that, ma'am.
I think it's best that we
pick her up and protect all of you.
Richard has gone missing and he's involved
with some very bad people.
What are you saying?
We think he's working with the cartel.
Like the drug people?
Yes.
We think he's laundering money for them.
No, I'm sorry, I have to go get Maggie.
I'm sorry.
(BABY CRYING)
Hey, hey, sit down.
That's my kid.
I don't care.
Sit.
I gotta get him.
Sit.
Sit down.
(GUN FIRING)
Get up, bitch.
Get up.
(SCREAMING AND GRUNTING)
(GUN FIRES)
(GRUNTING)
(GUN FIRING)
(GUN FIRES)
No, stop, don't fight it.
(OMINOUS TONES)
Excuse me.
Hi, I'm looking for a girl.
Have you seen her?
I...
CJ, what's going on?
I'm looking for my daughter.
You know I didn't buy this whole,
she's a friend thing, right?
Yes, sir, I know.
Help her find Maggie, and then you and I
are having a long talk.
Okay.
Let's go, I know where she is.
Okay, thank you.
RICHARD: Let's go, come on.
Okay, we're out of here.
I didn't see anything.
I don't know anything.
We'll leave town right now.
RICHARD: You say anything,
I'll sell your kid.
You'll never find him again, do you understand me?
Do you?
Yes.
Go.
No.
I'm sorry.
MAGGIE: You won't find anything.
Oh yes.
That's what I want.
No.
That's it.
Oh baby, yep.
That's all I need.
Oh, what's that right there?
Oh, it looks like a daddy baby picture.
Goodness, oh.
Daddies are special, aren't they?
Oh ho ho ho, oh, you bitch.
That was a mistake.
Now
okay.
Please.
Please!
Please what?
Please don't hurt me.
Please.
You know I know how to do this, right?
You know it's all about the follow through?
About the follow through, you know that, right?
Huh?
You ready?
Huh?
One.
Two.
Please don't hurt me.
Three.
Oh shit.
I told you not to be messing with me.
Hold on.
Who is this?
They better be there.
Don't you move.
Don't you make a noise, you understand me?
You stay right here.
You wait for me.
Hey you.
(GUN FIRING)
Charlie.
Oh.
This can't be any more perfect.
Bunch of dead losers fighting over guns.
And you get killed in a hail of bullets.
No more problems for me.
No more life for you.
Huh?
You know your mom, she's probably
gonna divorce me.
But so what?
No major loss.
I was getting bored of her.
Hey!
Watch it.
Hey, Mags, you know what makes me really bad?
I always
get away with it.
Yeah.
I like that.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(GUN CLICKS)
Whoa, now that's not supposed to happen.
(CACKLING)
Let's try one more time.
Hey.
I'm so sorry.
Yes, yes, please hurry.
Yeah, he's knocked out.
(SOBBING)
Oh my god, I got you, baby.
Are you okay?
It's okay, baby.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
(LAUGHING)
Chip.
Detective Wilson, I just wanna thank you
for everything that you've done.
Only thanks I need is putting
guys like Richard away.
(PHONE VIBRATING)
Excuse me.
Gotta take this.
(HEAVY BREATH)
You finally stood up to the biggest bully
of them all.
Thanks.
So, it's all over the news.
Everyone at school is asking about you.
No they're not.
You're the only one that knows my name.
Not anymore.
They all do.
I don't think that we're gonna be
going back there.
We're moving again?
Yeah, why?
I mean, you own that house now, right?
And I mean, it is pretty sweet
and it's got its own pool.
Besides, this new job, it pays better
than your old one, right?
Well, technically yes.
Mom.
The monster is gone.
I think you said once that you have
a right to be happy.
Well I think that we all have a right
to be happy.
I vote that we stay
and we stop running.
I second that vote.
Third.
Okay.
Yes.
We'll stay.
(LAUGHING)
So can I get ice cream?
Yes, you can get ice cream.
I think it's...
This one?
What happened to your eye?
Oh, it's...
It'll heal.
Yeah, but what happened.
Punched.
Maybe ice cream on it would help.
Who punched you?
Yeah, we can get some ice cream on it,
what flavor do you want?
Chocolate.
What flavor do you want?
I'm fine with chocolate.
What flavor do you want?
PEG: Chardonnay.
Yeah.
