(Gina mumbling)

Get me to the Baltimore Airport.

God, no, no.

No, don't call the police.

No, no, don't, don't.

Don't call the police.

I'm l-late.

I'm late.

I gotta get on the plane.

(siren wailing)

So about what time did
you find her on the ground?

It was right after I
got from work, about 5:30.

- 5:30?
- Yeah.

And, and what time did
you leave that morning?

[Billy] About seven o'clock.

7:00. Oh, wow.

So about 10 hours?

- Yeah.
- And we don't know

how long she was there, perhaps.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

And... (Gina mumbling)

What's h-what's happening? (whimpering)

Gina? Are you awake?

(Gina whimpers)

Yeah, I'm awake.

We just got back your CT scans.

Your vitals are in order,

your heart rate's in the low 90s.

For a 63-year-old woman,

you're mostly doing okay.

(Gina whimpering)

Ho-how did I get here?

Ms. Cochran, I'm afraid you've reached

stage five Parkinson's.

Your nerves have been degenerating

for the last five years.

I know what stage five is.

Uh, Billy, are you still in school?

Uh, no.

I dropped out a couple years ago.

Hmm.

Well, you did a good thing calling 911

when you found your mom like that.

- Thanks.
- Hmm.

Uh, what does your home care look like?

They come every night
between 7:00 and 12:00.

You don't have any other caregivers?

I don't need any others!

I can walk just fine.

I only have a problem in the evening.

Ms. Cochran, you can't be alone all day.

That's how you got stuck on the floor.

You need 24/7 care.

My insurance won't cover 24/7 care.

You don't understand.

At this stage, you have
a high risk of dying

from Parkinson's complications.

You could easily slip and fall again.

If your muscles freeze
when your face is down,

you could suffocate.

Parkinson's, it's not a curable condition,

but you can prolong

(tense music)

the inevitable and avoid unnecessary pain

by having around-the-clock
assisted living.

(suspenseful music)

Oh, I did an interview in
that building. (chuckles)

I spoke to Tom Rosen.

He was the fashion
columnist for the "Tribune."

(suspenseful music continues)

Hmm.

(suspenseful music continues)

Why did you call 911?

I just got stuck!

[Myra] I didn't call 911.

[Gina] It's those pills you gave me.

[Myra] I didn't give you any pills.

[Gina] Your pills are fucking horrible.

[Myra] All I have is Ativan.

[Gina] I don't need Ativan.

I don't need fucking benzo substitutes.

Where the fuck's my Valium?

(pills rattling)

(traffic droning)

She was a blonde.

I'm talking 10 out of 10,

implants up the wazoo.

(Jeff laughs)

Man.

Oh, you don't believe me?

Hell no.

Let me tell you something.

You go to Hollywood,

it's like they got superpowers.

Shit.

Mr. Wolfson, can - I
talk to you for a sec?

So, Billy, what do you
wanna talk to me about?

(check rustling)

I tried cashing my paycheck at the ATM,

but my transactions kept getting denied.

Well, the signature looks okay.

Did you try talking to the bank?

Yeah. They said there's
a problem with my account.

I was wondering if you could
give me the $600 in cash

instead of a check.

Me and my mom could really use the money.

Billy, look out that door.

What do you see?

I, I see a hallway.

No. What do you see in the whole place?

I, I don't know.

You know what I see?

I see an empire.

I see a warehouse full
of beautiful machinery.

I see the most humane,

torture-free meat processing equipment

in the history of Chicago.

You see this guy?

This is my great-grandpa, Gustav Wolfson.

Came here from Kalmar, Sweden, 1899.

Farm boy, came here with just
eight bucks in his pocket.

Think he was a quitter?

Quitters don't build empires.

Now, I want you to take
this, go back to the ATM,

and deposit it right.

[Announcer] Live from
Burbank, California,

it's "The Ron Larkin Show."

Thank you. Thank you.

Myra, where's my levodopa?

[Myra] You took it an hour ago.

I took it at 2:18, that's three hours.

[Myra] You were asleep then.

[Gina] Oh, Billy, B-Billy.

- In Saudi Arabia-
- He's he's about to do

- his monologue.
- A new law was passed today

that allows women and clean

those shower curtains!

- They're filthy!
- To leave their homes

without a male guardian.

(audience laughing)

They're making great strides

to bring their human rights record

right into the 19th century.

(audience laughing)
(Gina laughing)

Oh, and listen to this one.

A few hours ago,

a doctor in Las Vegas
had his license revoked

and is now in police custody

because he surgically
removed a woman's kidney

thinking it was a tumor
lodged in her side.

(audience laughing)
(Gina laughing)

I hope this doctor

- wins a Nobel Prize...
- Need anything washed?

[Ron] for most original
form of malpractice.

(audience laughing)

Thank you. Thank you.

We'll be right back.

We have a great show for you tonight.

- Please stick around.
- Gina?

- [Ron] We'll be right back.
- (Gina laughing)

Are you Billy?

Uh, yeah.

I'm Myra Valenti.

I'm your mom's new caregiver.

Hey, Myra.

(TV announcer faintly speaking)

See what I told?

Oh yeah. (chuckles)

He's really cute.

(TV announcer faintly speaking)

I gotta go to the bathroom.

Turn the air down!

(tense music)

(Gina screaming)

[Myra] Hold still.

[Gina] I am trying. You
aren't doing it hard enough.

[Myra] Move your right leg.

Move it like you're pedaling.

[Gina] You move it. I can't.

Ow!

[Myra] You have to do these exercises.

[Gina] You fucking bitch.

I am in agony.

Billy, where's my levodopa?

(unsettling music)

(suspenseful music)

[Mr. Wolfson] Uh-huh.
Yeah, I got the packages.

There was no damage.

No, I didn't check the last one.

You want me to check for scratches?

Okay.

All right, I'll do so after lunch.

All right.

Nice talking to you, Mack.

I'll check the packages after.

(suspenseful music)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(door slams)

(footsteps thumping)

(Billy deeply breathes)

Sam, is that you?

It's me.

Oh.

Oh.

I thought we were coming out with Sam.

No, I was at work.

Did you get the dishwasher emptied?

I don't know.

Why do you make her vacuum
in here every goddamn day.

(vacuum cleaner whirring)

[Myra] Oh, sorry.

What are you doing?

Uh, Gina wanted me to clean.

She says you're breathing
in too much dust.

I'm okay with a little dust.

You don't have to look at that.

Who's this?

That's my dad.

He died when I was six.

[Myra] Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's fine.

I don't remember much from back then.

Sam.

You want me to throw these papers out?

[Billy] No.

[Myra] What are these?

[Billy] Just some drawings.

(Myra chuckles)

This is amazing.

Thanks. I like to draw in my free time.

It's so surreal.

You have these creatures

that are almost human, but they're not.

[Billy] They're Graixians.

What?

Planet Graix. They're Graixians.

What's a Graixian?

Uh, this is a million
years in the future.

Earth's uninhabitable
'cause of all the pollution.

There's plagues and extinction everywhere.

After half the people die,
the head of the UN says,

"Okay, we already fucked this planet.

Let's send two of every animal into space

so we can start over."

Like Noah's ark?

No.

They send people, too,

but they gotta pass a big test

called the Evolution Exam
to get picked. (chuckles)

Anyway, they send the people
and animals into space

and an asteroid hits the ship.

Their whole satellite system goes down.

Everyone on earth thinks the ship crashed

'cause there's no communication, right?

But they're wrong.

The Starship Hope is fine.

10 million more years go by,

life on earth gets better

and they build a new spaceship
that goes at light speed.

They're out there for 20 light years

when they stumble across a planet

that looks a lot like Earth
before it got trashed.

It's the same planet that
Starship Hope went to,

it's called Graix.

And the creatures who live
there are a hybrid of aliens

and the people from the ship.

That's what Graixians are.

You came up with this all by yourself?

Yeah. There are eight different
subspecies of Graixians.

They also have a mix of
animal genes from the ship,

so that's where the species
differences come in.

Everything bred together over time

and evolved in ways you wouldn't expect.

This is really cool.

Graixians get over 25 feet tall,

and each subspecies has
its own special powers.

They can all do what's called Fire Mode,

which is when their whole
body turns into this oven

that can shoot rays of fire
out of their mouths and hands.

I wrote this thing about
how Graixians evolved

to have Fire Mode without
burning their organs.

I wrote a 90-page manual on
Graixian history and culture.

That's pretty much it.

[Gina] Billy?

Billy?

I think your mom wants to talk to you.

[Gina] Billy?

What is it?

I have been calling your
name for five minutes.

I didn't hear you.

[Gina] Why don't you answer
me when I call your name?

I, I was in my room.

Would you change the channels?

I can't get the remote to work.

I did everything for
you when you were a kid.

You can do one thing for me.

We need new batteries.

Just point it really close!

Just go to Channel 5!

There.

You're gonna regret this.

What? What am I going to regret?

You talk to your mother
like that when she's in pain.

Do you know how it feels to,
(Billy groans)

to have knives jabbing into your legs,

big fucking knives?
(unsettling music)

I, I know what you saw the other day.

You were on the floor.

I mean, I can walk just fine.

I just, I just get a little
too ambitious and I, I, I,

I go too long without
taking my medicine, so-

- You said you were at
the Baltimore Airport.

You were hallucinating.

What do you mean?

When you were down there.

Well, I was at the Baltimore Airport.

I had an interview at
the "Baltimore Star."

You were by your bad, Mom.

Oh, hallucinations are a side effect,

but this was real.

Well, you were there, too.

You got stuck in security.

(suspenseful music)

(Billy sighs)

(suspenseful music continues)

(suspenseful music intensifies)

(object clatters)

(Gina mumbling)

It's so surreal.

You have these creatures
that are almost human,

but they're not.

[Billy] They're Graixians.

What?

(door creaks)

(suspenseful music)

(rat squeaks)

(Billy panting)
(suspenseful music continues)

(rat squeaks)
(suspenseful music continues)

(plunger clangs)

(rat squeaking)

(Myra gaps)
(rat squeaking)

What's going?

- It's a rat!
- Oh my God!

What is is happening?

Ah!

G- get the spray.

- Kill it! Kill it!
- No, no, no, no.

Don't kill it! Don't kill it!

(Gina shrieking)

Watch out!

(Billy crying)

Oh God! It bit me.

Call 911.

Uh, I can't find my phone.

(Billy crying)

Call and get a fucking ambulance!

(siren wailing)

(Billy groaning)

This is a rat bite.

Fangs broke the skin.

Could be rabies, Hep C.

Let's get him cleaned
up and get him a Tdap.

- No!
- Hold him down.

- No, no needles.
- Uh, Billy, no,

- this is a mixed tetanus shot.
- No needles!

We have a lot of viruses going around.

This will cover most of them, okay?

No, no shot!

- Count backs from 10.
- I don't want any shots.

- No!
- 10, 9,

eight, seven, six.

(unsettling music)

Hey, hey.

You blacked out.

They gave you a new vaccine.

A lot of people have this side effect.

Oh yeah? (chuckles)

Yeah.

Come on, let's go.

(car engine droning)

How are you feeling?

A little hot.

I think I might have a fever.

(car engine droning)

I don't wanna go back there.

Billy.

It's not the rat.

She's not my mom anymore. (crying)

Look, look, look, look.

Everything happens for a reason.

I know that it feels like
your suffering is meaningless,

but it's all part of a greater plan.

There's a book I think
that you should read

called "Change Your
Thoughts, Change Your Life"

by Robert Dentz.

He was my psychology
professor at Northwestern.

(Billy sniffles)

I don't get much sleep.

She cries out every night.

It wakes me up.

Have you tried meditating?

No. I took some of my mom's Valium.

She doesn't know I took it.

I can give you Oxycontin.

Is that opioids?

Yeah.

It's like a mild version of heroin.

I think it'll help you sleep.

Yeah.

(Billy sniffles)

(suspenseful music)

[Ron] In other news,

our favorite Grammy winner Eliza Caldwell

has been caught shoplifting again.

[Audience] Oh. (laughs)

Given the cost of her
recent plastic surgeries,

she may have to pawn one of her awards

just to pay for bail.

(audience laughing)

I called Eliza's lawyer this morning

to give him some legal advice:

- "Get a surgeon down there..."
- Mom?

"To chop more of your
client's nose off."

(audience laughing)

They can't convict her if
they can't recognize her.

(audience laughing)

Thank you. Thank you.

We have a terri-

- You were gone a while.

[Billy] I was at the hospital.

Oh.

I never told you that I had Parkinson's.

I know you have it.

(Gina crying)

You saw me walk when we,

- when we had that rat.
- Mm-hmm.

Do you remember,

you remember when we used to go swimming

at the lake and, and we would
build sand sand castles?

I remember.

You remember when we,

when would play catch

and you never wanted to play with me?

I remember.

(suspenseful music)

Mom?

W...

You, you see, you, you,

you see over there?

Is th-is that a person?

It's just shadows, Mom.

There's a person over there.

You can't see him?

Oh.

(Gina whimpers)
(ominous music)

He looks like Sam. (whimpering)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music intensifies)

(eerie music)

(Billy deeply breathes)

(unsettling music)

(suspenseful music)

(Billy deeply breathing)

(pills rattle)

(unsettling music)

(Billy whimpering)
(intense music)

(Billy heavily breathing)

(suspenseful music)

Yeah, I talked to Duke.

15 grand.

That's right. 15 grand's my cut.

Is he there?

Put him on speaker.

Yeah.

Uh, listen, I got a meeting right now.

Let me call you later.

All right?

Okay.

What's with him?

Billy, you like birds?

Uh, yeah, I like birds.

I mean, do you ever
see yourself as a bird?

Oh, what do you mean?

I think people are a lot like birds.

I went to this toucan
exhibit at the San Diego Zoo

and I thought to myself,

"I like this."

I'm a lot like a toucan.

I don't know. I, I guess
I'm more like a pigeon.

This is my daughter Caroline.

In six months she'll be at Princeton

after doing some volunteer
work in South Africa.

Now, do you think she cheated?

You think she's there for
any reason other than merit?

Birds have wings, Billy,

and it's my job to restrain 'em.

I made her work so hard,

studying, playing sports, volunteering,

and now she's ready to
spread her wings and fly.

Do you think I ever let her
take a day off of school?

Do you think I let her take a sick day

unless she was on death's door?

No.

Then don't skip work ever again!

(door slams)

Dude, her nipples were huge.

I mean, they were like two inches long.

Two pink fucking goddamn cork screws.

Corks, right?

Corks. Whatever.

(Jeff sighs)

Hey, kid. You drinkin' age?

I, I'm 23.

Great. Uh, you wanna
go to Bernice's Tavern?

I can go on Friday.

Good. We'll see you tomorrow then.

See ya.

As I was saying, they
were two pink corks,

fucking majestic water
balloons on her chest.

You a fucking savage, man. Jesus.

Hey, she was nice to talk to.

She was great at talking. (laughs)

(suspenseful music)

Hey, Billy, can you help me with these?

Sure.

Thanks.

There's a guy where I work

who makes really sexist
comments about women.

I just wanted to let you know

that I don't support that stuff.

Okay.

I read some of that
book you told me about,

"Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life."

Oh yeah?

I got the online version.

You get to the part
where he talks about, like,

mindfulness and positive energy?

Yeah. It's good to be
more mindful of things.

You know, I was thinking
about your drawings,

the Graxians.

- Graixians.
- Right.

I was looking at some
more of your sketches

while you were at,

and I was wondering

if you ever wanted to get them published.

What do you mean?

I know a guy who runs a small press

that publishes graphic novels,

and I just think it'd be really great

for you to get your stuff out there.

I don't wanna do that.

They'd really like it.

I don't want anyone else ruining it.

The Graixians are my thing.

I'm sorry.

Where's your mom?

I don't know.

(Gina crying)

[Gina] Help me!

[Myra] Gina?

Help me!

Help me.

Okay, one.

- Okay.
- Help me, I'm stuck.

- Just pull. You have to-
- I'm stuck.

[Myra] You have to help
me a little bit, Gina.

You're not doing it right!

Come on, Gina.

You have to help me a little bit.

Get me off the fucking floor!

(Gina bawling)
(unsettling music)

I gotta go to the bathroom.

(Billy heavily breathing)

(suspenseful music)
(water trickling)

(water splashing)

(unsettling music)

(eerie music)

(Billy whimpering)

[Gina] You left me down there.

[Myra] I was at the store.

Why were you at the store?

You, you told me to get groceries.

Groceries? You want me to die?

You want me to die on the,

on the fucking floor
like a goddamn animal?

That's what I'm paying for, 24/7 care,

and you leave me to die?

That 24/7 care?

Sorry is not good enough!

You are the worst fucking caregiver!

You're a worthless, filthy, cunthead,

piece of shit.

You take my money and rob me

and you don't do jack fucking shit.

(suspenseful music)

[Mr. Wolfson] Hey,
let's go. Let's go, fellas

Speed it up.

Never gonna make it to
Grand Rapids at this speed.

Let's move it. (clapping)

Come on, pick it up.

Come on.

Let's go.

(pensive music)

(floor creaking)

Hey, Myra.

Shh. She's asleep.

Okay.

I'm sorry my mom called you a cunt.

Thanks.

She wasn't always like this.

I know.

She's not the worst.

I've had guys with dementia hit on me.

First they think I'm their daughter

and then they think that they
can grab my tits. (chuckles)

I don't want anyone to hurt you.

They're sick.

They don't know that they hurt you.

No matter what pain we are in,

their pain is so much worse.

We have to stay strong for them.

That makes sense.

Is it okay if I show you something?

[Myra] Sure.

(door slams)

I found this on my arm yesterday.

Is this a Graixian?

I took a bath and tore part of my skin.

When I peeled it off,
there was fur underneath.

Fur.

I was wondering if you knew anything

about fur growth on humans.

You sure this wasn't a dream?

It was right after we
found her on the floor.

Is the fur still there?

It just looks red now.

This is where it was.

Was the fur like regular hair?

It was gray like rat fur.

And it felt like there were
whiskers growing above my mouth.

I don't see how there
could have been any fur here.

When the mind goes
through a lot of stress,

it can produce a paranoid reaction;

you look at a bruise on
normal body hair a certain way

and it looks like rat fur.

That's the way paranoid distorts things.

I'm not paranoid. (laughs)

I mean, I am paranoid,

but not about this.

Are you familiar with
obsessive compulsive disorder?

OCD?

Read "Change Your Thoughts" chapter 12.

See if anything sounds like you.

Hold on one second.

(Billy sighs)

And we're back.

We have a very special guest with us.

You've seen her in movies
like "A Break to Remember,"

- "Head Over Heels..."
- Billy?

[Ron] And "Revenge of
the Sorority Slayer."

Could you empty

- the dishwasher before dinner?
- Please welcome

Joanna Prince!

(audience applauding)

So what's this movie
I've been hearing about?

Well, Ron,

(audience laughing)

it's called "From Alex to Oblivion."

What did she ask you to do?

[Joanna] It's about a young man

with autism-
Empty the dishwasher.

[Joanna] who becomes
addicted to painkillers

after taking care-
You don't have a dishwasher.

- Of his dying father.
- I know.

[Ron] What's his father dying from?

[Joanna] Cancer. Stage four lung cancer.

[Ron] Can you get lung cancer
from smoking other things?

(Joanna and audience laughing)

You'll be fine.

That's not what my
guidance counselor said.

(Joanna and audience laughing)

Anyway, I play the
role of his mother Beth.

And what I really love about
"From Alex to Oblivion"

is the fact that it's really
about the forgotten people.

You know what I mean?

I forgot.

(Joanna and audience laughing)

Well, you, you don't think
about the people with cancer,

you don't think about people with autism,

that's why they're forgotten.

When you look at what Alex goes through

and how he triumphs when his brain

- is basically cursed...
- Myra.

[Joanna] It's inspiring

- Could you mute the TV?
- This is real life.

This is what really happens to people.

[Ron] We'll be right back
with more Joanna Prince.

What are we having for dinner?

[Myra] Rice.

I said I wanted pasta.

[Myra] You told me rice.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(floor creaking)

See?

I can walk just fine.

That's what the another levodopa is for.

Now, how's everybody doing?

Hmm?

Are we having fun?

Yeah.

And I haven't seen much
of you around lately.

I might have to start
calling you the phantom.

I guess I've been busy.

Oh.

Oh. Are you okay, Myra?

Uh-huh.

'Cause you look a little upset.

[Myra] I'm just tired.

Oh.

(floor creaking)

(suspenseful music)

How tall are you?

Tall.

Billy, who do you think is taller,

me or Myra?

[Billy] I can't tell.

(suspenseful music continues)

Too close?

Well, go get the measurement tape.

G-Gina.

I wanna know who's taller.

(suspenseful music continues)

All right.

Measure her.

Don't include the shoes.

(suspenseful music continues)

165 centimeters.

What about feet and inches?

(suspenseful music continues)

Five feet, five inches?
(Gina shrieks)

I'm 5'8"! (shrieks)

That's three inches taller. (laughs)

I have to go get the rice.

(suspenseful music continues)

Height is just a state of mind.

And confidence makes you feel, oh,

half a foot taller.

I learned my interview at
the "Indianapolis Star."

(Gina gasps)

I spoke to Jack Gerhardt.

He was a top fashion
columnist in the state.

He was the best reporter
that I ever spoke to.

(suspenseful music continues)

He didn't ask the normal questions.

(suspenseful music continues)

He wanted to know who are.

(unsettling music)

I gotta go to the bathroom. (sniffs)

Hmm, hmm, hmm.

(Gina sighs)

Is dinner ready?

(Billy whimpering)

(unsettling music)

(Billy crying)

(unsettling music continues)

(pencil scratching)

[Gina] Sam?

Sam, have you seen Billy?

He's been acting very strange lately.

(suspenseful music)

[Jeff] You wanna go to Bernice's Tavern?

[Billy] I can go on Friday.

[Danny] Good. We'll
see you tomorrow then.

(suspenseful music continues)

Hey, Duke, I hope you
don't think I was upset.

You're fine.

'Cause I wasn't upset.

Forget about it.

Look, I'll have the guys all lined up

and they'll be here on Monday.

Sounds good, Wolfie.

(wind blowing)

(ATM keys beeping)

(shoppers chattering)

(ATM keys beeping)

(ATM buzzes)

Motherfucker!

(lively music)
(patrons chattering)

[Jeff] What did you say?

[Danny] Grand Canyon looks like a pussy.

Fuck.

Yeah, man. You can see it from space.

It looks like a big, beautiful twat.

Space?

I'm talkin' satellite
pictures, high-tech shit.

But what about space?

So anyway, I'm at the waffle place, see?

I'm talking to this chick, this waitress.

I say, "Hey, baby, you
look great in that uniform.

Not everybody wears it so well."

(Jeff laughs)

You didn't say that.

Fuck yah.

So we're back at my place.

I'm railing her, she comes,

tells me she wants to
go to the Grand Canyon.

[Jeff] You, you went
to the Grand Canyon?

Fuck yeah, man.

We drove all the way to the South Rim.

Now there's these jag-off tourists

with their Japanese cars.

That's racist, man.

Yeah, whatever.

Hey, I am talking Honda, Toyota.

They make a lot of cool
shit in Japan, (laughs)

take our jobs.

Fuck me.

You f-you fuck.

They got this fence there

so you don't fall into the fucker.

I climbed over it so I
could get a better picture.

One more step, I woulda been dead.

She's freaking out.

She's like, "Don't do it.

Don't go over the edge."

I'm like, "Baby, relax."

Take a Valium.

I gotta get a good picture here.

"Jesus."

(unsettling music)

Billy?

What the fuck you doing?

I gotta go.

[Jeff] You okay?

Yeah.

(tense music)
(patrons chattering)

I mean, i-if there's something going on,

you can talk to Pastor Jones at my church.

He's seen everything.

I'm fine. Thanks for your offer.

(tense music continues)

(eerie music)

(Billy panting)

(tense music)

(Billy sighs)

Well, you've been gone a while.

Yeah.

I, I, I walked around after work.

Where's Myra?

She got sick.

And they forgot to send somebody else.

You didn't empty the dishwasher.

You were supposed to do that on Friday.

This is Friday.

Why'd you forget?

I- is, is it,

is it hard for you to remember?

I didn't forget, I...

We don't have a dishwasher, Mom.

This is all I ask of
you, this one thing.

I never asked you to do
anything when you were a kid.

I'm not a kid.

You used to be so sweet.

I'm not your little slave.

I gave you everything

and you give nothing.

- Shut up!
- Do you know

how much it hurts for me to talk?

Then shut up!

I am your mother!

You will treat me with respect!

Respect? (laughs)

You want me to shut up?

You ungrateful cock!

I lied to you.

(gloomy music)

I never loved you.

I faked it your whole life.

(gloomy music continues)

I knew you were a retard

the moment I gave birth to you.

Shut your fucking face!

(Gina screams)
(glass shatters)

(Gina whimpering)

(Billy grunting)

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Fucking kill you! (grunting)

Fucking kill you! (grunting)

(Billy crying)

(Billy growling)

(Billy crying)

(Billy groaning)

(Billy heavily breathing)

(floor creaking)

You awake?

Yeah.

Hmm.

(Gina deeply breathes)

Oh.

(pages rustling)

You never showed me these drawings.

They're Graixians.

Oh.

You know

what I did before I met you?

No?

I was a finalist

for Miss Indiana. (laughs)

I did my first pageant

when I was 14.

Oh, and I won Miss Clarksville Senior High

three years running.

Mm.

When I got to the finals,

this, uh, judge,

he wanted to talk to me alone.

He said if I fucked him, (laughs)

he would vote for me,

that he would rig it. (laughs)

So I got the crown.

(ominous music)

Do you think I fucked him?

[Billy] No.

(Billy gaps)

'Cause I am

a woman of integrity.

(Gina moaning)
(Billy whimpering)

Oh, Sam.

- Sam.
- Oh, no!

Get off.

Oh God, no!
(Gina moaning)

(Billy crying)

Get off.

(Gina screams)

- Oh, no, no, no, no.
- (eerie music)

No.

I'm stuck.
(eerie music continues)

S- S-Sam.

S- Sam, where's my levodopa? (crying)

Where is my levodopa.

(eerie music continues)

(Billy gagging)

[Rat King] We need red meat.

We need red meat.

We need red meat.

We need red meat.

We need red meat.

We need red meat.

(Gina screams)

(Billy panting)

(Billy sniffling)

You took levodopa 15 minutes ago.

[Gina] It's been three hours.

I know you took it. I gave it to you.

[Gina] Oh, good morning, Phantom.

Hey.

I didn't see much of you last night.

What?

Oh, you went straight to your room.

You didn't even come out for dinner.

I'm sorry I wasn't feeling well.

It just gets to be a lot, you know?

We had a big fight.

What, last night?

- Yeah.
- Stop.

Stop making shit up.

I'm, I'm not that crazy.

(suspenseful music)

(Billy panting)

You don't remember anything?

Well, I just sat here watching TV.

Is something wrong?

Of course something's wrong.

(Billy panting)

When has everything ever been right?

Are, are you, are you
running low on money?

No. I...

I guess so. Yeah.

Oh, well, I need to know

when would be a good time for you to talk.

See, I, I called the bank yesterday and,

and I've got some new details to,

to give you about my will.

(suspenseful music)

(tense music)

[Billy] I don't know
what's happening to me.

You're under a lot of stress.

I feel more and more like a rat.

It's like I, I keep seeing this fur,

but then it goes away.

Look, I know you've
been going through a lot.

I just read an article about
how if you take too much Prozac

and Oxycontin at the same time,

that in rare cases you could
produce hallucinations.

You gave me Oxycontin.

How the fuck else am I supposed to sleep?

Breathe, breathe.

Breathe, breathe.

(patrons chattering)

I'm sorry.

(patrons chattering)

Your thoughts control how you feel.

"Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life."

I'm different.

Everybody's different.

You don't understand.

I'm different.

I do things to act like other people,

but I'm not like them.

I don't know if I'm me, I...

(patrons chattering)

Have you been diagnosed with anything?

It just, it feels like I'm okay,

I'm doing something, and
then it all goes wrong.

I crash and it's this fucking
extreme range, and I...

(suspenseful music)

It's like that every day now.

I can't live with her anymore, I can't.

(suspenseful music)

(pencil scratching)

[Gina] Myra, where's Sam?

There is something wrong with Billy.

(ominous music)

[Mr. Wolfson] Billy, I
notice your productivity

has been way down lately.

Like how?

Well, it took you over two hours

to unclog the toilet back there.

(Billy chuckles)

Yeah.

There was a lot in there, and, uh,

my hands hurt after a while.

It's hard sweeping for hours and hours.

I see.

Does the hardwood hurt your fingers?

Yeah. I guess.

Billy, why don't you take off on Monday?

I used all my vacation time.

Well, let me explain to you
what's happening on Monday.

The Cook County Board of Commissioners

mandates that we have a
health and safety inspection

twice a year.

And although you know
that we have an A minus

in product safety and a B
plus in employee safety,

that's not bad,

but I know we can do better.

I want you to take these papers.

[Billy] What for?

Just keep 'em with you till Tuesday.

I don't want you or those papers

anywhere near here on Monday,

and then you can give 'em back to me.

You wanna know what's in those papers?

Yeah.

Sometimes it's better
not to know certain things.

If you look at those papers,

there could be consequences
you can't fly away from.

Unless you wanna complicate
my life, your life,

and my daughter Caroline's life,

don't look at those papers.

Yeah, Duke.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

$500,000.

Yes.

500 grand.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, it's safe.

It's in my house.

Of course it's safe,
safer than goddamn hell.

Let me call you later, all right?

(suspenseful music)

(bell rings)

(door slams)

(Billy heavily breathing)

Hey. Can I help you?

Uh, yeah.

I- i-if I get locked out of my house

and I don't have AAA,

what do I buy so I can get back in?

You mean a lock pick?

Yeah, lock pick.

I got you, man.

This is your standard
copper-plated lock pick set.

It'll open any residential
standard grade lock.

Now, normally this'll be 24.95,

but today it's on sale for 19.95.

That's how we roll here
at Alvarez Hardware.

What about non-standard locks

For that, you want the 12-piece set.

Comes with everything you
get in the eight-piece set,

plus has these four special picks

that'll work on any top grade lock

or fence between here and Fort Knox.

I'll take the 12-piece.

All righty.

It'd be 32.95 plus sales tax,

that comes out to 35.03.

Let's say some guy breaks into my house

and I need to defend myself.

What do I buy for that?

I'm glad you asked.

My cousin works over at, uh,

Lake Star Sporting Goods

right over the state line of Hammond.

He can sell you, um, pistols,
handguns, semi-automatics.

I don't wanna do any background checks.

Gotcha.

Now, uh, it's not exactly
legal for me to sell you this,

but, uh,

here I have the Cutler Titanium Supreme.

(sinister music)

This is a 10-inch stainless
steel hunting knife.

It's got a nice, smooth blade.

Cuts with unparalleled efficiency.

You could chop off a beer's antlers

with one swing of your arm.

The Cutler Titanium
Supreme is, uh, lightweight

and comes with this
patented leather holster,

top grade South Dakota Raw height.

I can give you this for 100 bucks,

but you gotta pay in cash.

This has to be off the books.

(suspenseful music)

Did you get any groceries?

No. This bag is for me.

Well, what do you want for dinner?

I gotta go to the bathroom.

I'll talk to you later.

- Hey, Myra.
- Hey. Sorry.

I thought I'd be done by
the time you got back.

It's fine.

There's...

(suspenseful music)

I have a plan.

(unsettling music)

Why is it so fucking
terrible for me to take it?

I don't care why.

I make nine bucks an hour.

Nine bucks, $9 and 0 cents.

You think I can live on nine bucks?

I make 10.50.

Fuck 10.50!

As long as I'm dependent on Mom,

I'll be stuck here.

She'll be waking me up at 3:00 AM with,

"Sam, where's my levodopa."

Sam, what's wrong with Billy?

"Help, help, him in
horrible pain!" (groans)

Half the time she thinks
I'm my dead fucking dad.

And Wolfson, he lives in a
fucking ginormous mansion.

But I'm the bad guy,

I'm the bad guy 'cause I
need the money more than him?

Uh, everybody has to work their way up.

(Myra screams)

My God, Billy. (screams)

(Billy groaning)
(eerie music)

I'm sorry I got so upset.

You need help.

I know.

I'm fucking worthless.

I'm not even human.

(Billy sniffling)

(Billy sniffling)

You're a good guy.

You have so much talent and potential.

You don't need to rob people.

I just want to be like the guys TV.

I don't want this to be all there is.

(Rat King growls)

[Mr. Wolfson] Yeah, 500,000.

It's in my house.

(Billy deeply breathes)

(bag rustling)

(pills rattling)

(Billy sighs)

(vehicle droning)

(floor creaks)

You made this for me?

Did you

make this for me?

(Gina crying)

I always wanted

a macaroni necklace.

(door creaks)

(footsteps thumping)

(Billy deeply breathes)

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

[Child] There's a strange
man playing with the door

at Caroline's house.

[Mother] I told you
not to spy on strangers.

Don't talk to them, don't spy on them.

(ominous music)

(door creaks)

(ominous music continues)

(door creaks)

You know, with our
state-of-the-art technology,

cows and the pigs,

they don't feel anything.

We like to think of it
as a retirement home

for God's great creatures.

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

(phone rings)

Excuse me.

Yeah, Duke.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I got it.

I just have to go home and get it.

All right. All right,
lemme get back to you.

(suspenseful music)

(floor creaking)

[Announcer] Live from
Burbank, California,

it's "The Ron Larkin Show."

Thank you. Thank you.

Now this is what I call a crowd,

not like those clowns over
at "The Evening Show."

(audience laughing)

Today in Somalia,

pirates captured a group
of fishing villages

north of Mogadishu with
the goal of starting

a rebel Pirate Republic.

(audience laughing)

Let me repeat that, Pirate Republic.

(audience laughing)

You know it's amazing to live in an age

where there's space travel,

where we can colonize far off planets.

But for all the stars we conquer,

for all the Graixians we kill,

there will always be a Pirate Republic.

Thank you.
(audience laugh and applaud)

We have a very special guest with us.

I'm sure you've seen him
in such shadowy locations

as the boiler room below your apartment.

Please welcome the Rat King

here with a special
message for Billy Cochran.

(Billy screams)

(siren wails)

[Billy] I told them that
the rats made me do it.

I got off on insanity and now I'm here.

It's really, really quiet.

It's nice.

I can think more clearly.

I have a lot of time to draw.

And I've been diagnosed
with schizophrenia, autism,

and severe psychosis.

I accept it.

But I don't really think
any of that matters.

I don't think that had anything
to do with what happened;

it was much more than that.

(unsettling music)

I think it was the rats.

I want to be better

(unsettling music continues)

and I want to be good.

(unsettling music continues)

I need red meat.
