[Helen] Sarah. Large Oat Latte?

[Sarah] Yes. Excuse me.

-Hey, Helen. -For you.

-Have a good day. -[Kevin] 30 minutes? Yeah.

Excuse me. [gasps]

-Oh, sorry. -Oh, oh, uh...

-I'm so-- -It's okay. Kevin?

-Oh, wow. Hi. -Hi.

When did you move back?

Um, just recently.

I'm actually up here waiting for somebody.

So, you still ordered a Oat Latte.

Yeah. I guess some things do survive breakups.

Sorry.

You look amazing.

Thank you. You look good too.

-Thanks. -Yeah.

-You got time to talk? -Actually, no.

I have a meeting that I have to get to,

but it was really good seeing you, Kevin.

[singer] ♪ I just wanna love you all the way ♪

♪ All the way ♪

[Sarah] Okay. So what does today look like, Maya?

Well, your 10:30 is here early.

And the VP asked if you're attending

the networking mixer tonight.

Yeah, no mixer.

Also, there's a delivery for you.

Mm-hmm. Cute. Secret admirer?

Put it in the break room.

It's addressed to you.

Okay. And the break room can acknowledge it

on my behalf. Take it.

Girl.

At least somebody likes you.

And somebody needs a hobby.

Girl. Just take the compliment.

You're not 25 anymore.

I'm just saying, you're working

like you're running from something.

Maya, I'm working like I'm running towards my life,

okay?

Okay.

[jazz music]

[indistinct chattering]

[blows raspberries]

[blows kisses]

-Hey. You okay? -[Sarah] Hey.

Yes. I am okay. Oh, hold on.

You are beautiful. I'm so happy for you.

-Thank you, friend. Well... -Yeah. What?

You know your time is coming, right?

Yeah, I know.

I just thought it wouldn't happen for me sooner.

It will. And when it does, it'll be worth the wait.

I know. You know it's hard for me though.

I know. Ms. "Love 'em and Leave 'em."

That's not fair.

No. What's not fair is that

every time somebody gets close enough to you,

you leave 'em.

It's like you want love,

but when you get it,

you throw it away.

Okay. Well, you know I have high standards.

I don't want the boring, typical romance.

I want the stuff that you see in the movies.

The fairytale romance and...

-Aw. Baby, that doesn't exist. -Aw. Yes, it does.

It does not. Look at me and Eric.

He works so much.

We barely get to spend time with each other.

But when we do, we just make the best of that situation.

Yeah, well, I don't want sacrifice on my marriage.

Plus you know what I've been through on my past.

I already know. I already know. You have trust issues.

-Uh-hmm. -But you're gonna stop

looking at what's behind you, okay?

So you can see what's ahead of you.

That may have been the realest line

-you have ever said to me. -[Carmen] Uh-huh?

Carmen.

-I'm sorry, girl. -[Sarah] Oh, I'm good.

-Hey. -Let's go have some fun.

Go, go, go, go. Don't worry about me.

-Go, have fun. -Love you.

[jazz music]

[keys jingling]

[lock clicks]

[glass shatters]

[ominous music]

[phone rings]

Hey.

Mm. Hey, girl.

I'm just checking on you.

I'm good.

Friend, it was so good to see you

in your element tonight.

Girl, I'm so happy.

-Eric is such a good man. -[Sarah] Yeah.

And he's marrying an amazing woman.

[Carmen] Oh, girl, please. Stop with the cap.

You know I'm crazy.

Just saying that 'cause I'm your bestie.

[Sarah laughs]

So, I, um...I wasn't gonna tell you this tonight,

but guess who I ran into at the coffee shop earlier.

Girl, we are too old for the guessing game.

Spill the tea.

Kevin.

-Kevin, Kevin? -Kevin, Kevin. Yes.

No way.

Well, girl, maybe that's a sign.

Nope. Just a coincidence.

[Carmen] Maybe. We'll see.

Yeah. Well, get some rest, friend.

You have a really, really big day tomorrow.

We'll unpack this then.

I'm so excited. My final fitting.

I cannot wait to see you in your dress.

I know, right? I love you, girl.

-I love you too. -Good night.

Good night.

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]

[Sarah] Okay. Yeah, can we pull in the sides here just a bit?

-[Erica] Yeah. Yeah, sure. -[Sarah] It seems kind of...

-[Sarah] Yeah. -Uh, excuse me.

Could you stop judging my joy like a spreadsheet?

I'm not judging. I'm assessing.

Okay. Well, less assessing and more drinking, okay?

The champagne comes with the dress and the people.

[Sarah] Okay. Well, that size two dress

is gonna turn into a size four

if you don't stop drinking.

-[laughs] -Girl.

Well, actually, I plan on not eating

for the next six days after today.

Carm, you know that that fasting stuff for you does not work

'cause you always end up eating, you greedy goblin.

Yes, you're right.

[Sarah laughs]

But sis, I have a confession.

What now?

I knew Kevin was back in town.

-Carm! -I know.

I just didn't wanna see you back in that space, you know?

And I know you leaving him wasn't that easy.

Wait, I did not leave him, okay? I left Seattle.

He just didn't come with me.

So you left him?

Okay, I guess, but that's not the point.

I cannot believe you're just telling me this now.

I know. And there's more. He's coming to the wedding.

Okay. I can't catch a damn break.

I know, Sarah. It's been five years.

You know him and Eric are good friends.

He's the reason why me and you are besties.

So, I couldn't say no.

Okay. I mean, I understand all that.

I'm understanding, but I'm not gonna lie.

It's awkward.

So honestly, do you think you guys

-might ever be able to-- -No. Never.

Stop always focusing on trying to be this

whole matchmaking person.

Focus on your wedding.

Oh, I am focused.

I'm also focused on getting my bestie a ring.

You know Eric, he has a lot of friends.

They're successful, they're rich,

and maybe one of them can sweep you off your feet.

Kevin's gonna be there, so girl, you're gonna have options.

You're not gonna let me live this single life, are you?

-No. -[Sarah laughs]

Come on.

Ugh, get on my nerves.

-Oh, you're so beautiful. -Thank you, sis.

Eric is one lucky man. You know that, right?

Ooh, ain't he?

-I'll tap that. -Ooh, period.

-[Sarah] Cheers. -[Carmen] Cheers.

[glass clinks]

[scoffs]

Kevin.

No, no, no. Come on, Sarah.

Hmm.

Maybe. [sighs]

[soft music]

[guest chattering]

-Oh, my God. -Thank you.

I am so happy for you.

Carm, you are married.

I cannot believe it.

I cannot believe it.

You were so beautiful up there.

Oh, my God. I couldn't stop crying, girl.

Oh, well, you were gorgeous too.

-Thank you. -Yeah. You good?

-I'm good. -All right.

I meant to tell you. Kevin is not coming, okay?

-Okay. -So, something came up with him.

Okay.

But I think that's a good thing, because now,

all your focus can be on only one man tonight.

Carm, what are you talking about?

You'll see.

Don't trip. Just...come on.

Hey, guys.

Neiman, this is my best friend, Sarah.

Sarah, Neiman.

[Neiman] Pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

I'll let y'all get to know each other.

Carmen was right.

You are beautiful.

[scoffs] That was bold.

-That was honesty. -Hmm.

And I couldn't keep my eyes off you the whole ceremony.

Was it because I was balling my eyes out?

-[laughs] -Maybe.

I almost wanted to give you my hanky.

Yeah, well. I couldn't help it.

Carm, she deserves all the happiness in the world.

Yeah.

She does.

But what about you? What do you deserve?

Uh, at this point, I don't--I don't know.

-Let's switch it up. -Okay.

What do you feel like you deserve?

I don't know. Uh, I don't think

I've ever really thought about it.

I'm a people pleaser and I'm always concerned

about everybody else around me.

Hmm.

Well, there's nothing wrong with pleasing people.

As long as you don't lose yourself

in the process, right?

Yeah. I guess that's right.

I don't know. When I was a kid,

I, um, took care of my mom when she got sick.

And I have two younger brothers that I had to care for,

so easier said than done, right? [scoffs]

Sounds like you've been

looking after everybody your whole life.

-Basically. -[both chuckles]

So what about you?

Who's been looking after Sarah?

Uh, I don't really know who's been looking after Sarah.

I don't think I've ever really thought about it.

I just don't think I ever really cared about myself.

-Really? -Yeah.

But you know there's nothing wrong with being a good person.

But you know you could want that for yourself too, right?

Um, by that, you mean what?

I mean, marriage, kids, the picket fence,

spending summers at Martha's Vineyard.

Wow, you pulled out the big guns.

-[Neiman chuckles] -The vineyard?

How am I doing?

Not too bad. [laughs]

I'm not gonna lie, I mean, I enjoy being single.

But maybe I could change that.

[scoffs] Oh, okay.

[laughs]

Look, would I be doing too much to ask for your number?

You know, I actually don't really

give my number to strangers.

Yeah.

Well, maybe we shouldn't be strangers anymore.

You are really trying this.

And don't make me regret this.

-I won't. Promise. -Okay.

[singer] ♪ Don't take, take it away from me... ♪

No, but seriously. You could ask Eric.

I was actually going to be one of the greatest

tight ends of all time.

That's until I broke my leg of course.

You know, it happened right before the draft.

Can you believe my very first and only injury

ended my entire career?

Wow. I'm sorry.

I'm sure that must've been really difficult for you.

At first it was,

but like everything else in life,

you learn to take the good with the bad.

Hmm. So let me get this.

You're telling me that I am dating the Neiman Rhodes,

the famous football legend that never was?

-Okay, what? -[chuckles]

Oh, so I see you got jokes, huh?

-[chuckles] -Don't worry,

you're not the first person laughing at my pain

and you won't be the last.

[laughs]

You know, I never was really the girl

that was into sports.

I dated this guy, he was so into basketball,

but for some reason I just...

I don't know, I couldn't really get into it, so...

Mmm. Well, I left football as long as I can remember.

Tell me why.

I don't know.

You know, my dad, he, uh, was a football coach, so...

-Uh-hmm. -I guess naturally

it's just what I want to do.

Plus, playing on a field helped me channel my anger.

Now football had a way of, uh, being so aggressive at times

that standing on that field

allowed me to take my frustration out

on whoever crossed my path.

-Uh-hmm. -Plus, it was legal.

[both chuckles]

So is that why you became a scout?

Is it so that you could still be near the game?

That's exactly why.

It still lets me be a part of what I love.

Hmm. So tell me,

how do you release all the aggression now?

[both chuckles]

Well actually, I could probably show you better

than I can tell you.

Slow down boy, okay?

It has only been a few days.

Four to be exact, but who's counting?

And get your mind out the gutter.

I was still talking about dancing.

-Oh, dancing? Okay. -[both chuckles]

Well, speaking of dancing,

your knees were kneeing at that wedding.

-[both chuckles] -You got some moves.

I have a few more I love to show you

if I got the chance.

Well, there is no time like the present, right?

Cheers?

[indistinct chatter]

[grunting]

-[Sarah] Wow. -[Carmen] [indistinct]

Whoo. What happened there, Mr. Football Star?

First of all, you know I hurt myself.

Secondly...

both of you are some cheaters.

[Carmen] Oh. I did not cheat.

I just gave my girl a little head start.

You know, boss chicks hate losing.

See? No. Both y'all are not gonna do that.

I won that fair and square. Okay, don't be haters.

Baby, nobody's trying to hate on you, all right?

-Uh-hmm. -Ugh. Y'all are just so cute.

It's annoying. It's making me miss my husband.

Did you just say, "My husband"?

-She maybe now. -I did.

My husband, my husband, my husband.

-You a fool. -Okay. So after we do

one last lap, let's go get some coffee.

-[both] Yeah. -Hey, buddy, wait up.

Hey, why you run off like that, man?

Hey man, what's your problem?

Hey nigga, don't tell me what to do with my son.

Come on.

Baby, are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you speaking from experience?

Carm.

-Ain't no got no filter. -Sorry.

No, that's fine.

Everything's okay. I just...

I used to have a father just like that.

He used to use his hands to show his love.

I'm so sorry.

What about your mom? Did she try to protect you?

My mom left when I was three.

I guess she couldn't take the beatings.

So whatever happened to your dad?

He drunk himself to death.

Damn. Did your mom ever resurface after that?

She reached out with a postcard once,

asking me to meet her in Colorado.

Well, did you go?

No. I didn't see the point.

She could never be a real mother anyway.

Well, we are your family now.

-Yes, so we are your family now. -Yes.

But you're still buying coffee after I win.

-Oh. Why y'all do me like that? -That is the truth [indistinct]

[indistinct] come here. [grunts]

[Sarah chuckling] Wait up!

Earlier I saw how triggered you were

when that man hit his son.

And I just...I wanna tell you

thank you for sharing your childhood with me.

I know that it wasn't easy.

It was with you.

And I feel really, really honored that you trust me

and that you feel comfortable with me and Carm.

Like you said, we're family now.

Can I ask you something?

Anything.

You know, you can say no.

-I'm hoping that you don't. -[chuckling]

-The way I'm feeling right now? -[Sarah chuckles]

I'll do anything for you.

I figured you'd say that.

Come away with me this weekend.

Me and Carm, we do a yearly trip,

college friends, old stories, drink lots and lots of wine.

Um, this is the first time

that I've ever wanted to bring somebody with me.

Then I'll come.

So that's a yes?

It's a definite yes.

Good.

Thank you.

Okay, guys, grab a drink, loosen up,

and pretend this isn't the most awkward

first 10 minutes of a weekend.

-[wine pouring] -[chuckles]

So, Sarah finally brought someone.

I did. I wanted him to experience

the Airbnb that we come to.

And you are?

Neiman.

And how did you two meet?

At Carmen's wedding.

Well, that's a bold move bringing a new guy

to a sacred weekend.

Okay, girl. Growth is allowed.

Thank you.

I'm aware that I'm the variable here.

So what do you Neiman?

I'm a scout.

Like little league?

There's nothing little about managing pros.

Okay, guys. Before we spiral into LinkedIn,

what are we doing tonight?

I thought we were just doing dinner and drinks.

[Neiman] Actually, I made a change.

A change?

I bought us all tickets.

Tickets to?

To see Jill Scott. Tonight.

-[Tanya] Oh, I know you lying. -At the arena?

Yeah. I'm friends with her security team.

Baby, I've been trying to get tickets for us for months.

Okay, Neiman, you just turned up the whole trip.

I guess I did.

Uh-uh. Don't look at me like that.

I did not know he was doing this.

Uh-hmm. Okay.

Neiman, I take back everything I didn't say to your face.

It's okay. But we should get ready.

It starts in a few hours.

-Okay. -Yeah.

[pan sizzling]

I promise you, she healed something in me.

That wasn't a concert.

-That was life in music form. -Hmm.

-Jill Scott owes me nothing. -[Carmen] Hmm.

Oh, my God, that made me miss my husband so much.

I would like to formally apologize to my liver.

You wouldn't. You'd do it again.

-Correct. -Right, exactly.

Why do mornings feel so aggressive?

Lisa, really? Because we're not 22 anymore.

Good morning, everybody.

-Ugh. -Good morning.

If you're not hung over, you're not allowed to speak.

I keep thinking about how we used to survive

entire weekends like this,

and then go to class on Monday.

Class? Girl, I went to work.

You know, when I think about it, college felt like

the longest thing that I've been through.

But in hindsight, it was just a blink.

I mean, now all I could think about is having a legacy.

Future fraternity brother.

-Uh-hmm. -I think about it every day.

Same. I didn't think I wanted kids

until everybody else started having them.

I just want to sleep in again.

[laughter]

I don't have kids.

But I do think about legacy.

What we leave behind and who we choose to build with.

I just wanna take the time to say thanks,

allowing me to join you all this weekend.

I know that legacy means a lot

and I don't take it lightly.

And the fact that you guys allowed me

to change things up a bit,

it really means a lot to me.

Man, you came through with those concert tickets.

You're basically family now.

-[Tanya] Aww. -[Carmen] Yes.

To old friends...and new ones

brave enough to walk into the chaos.

Welcome no new.

[laughter]

[birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

Babe, what you talking about? Your body looks good.

Oh, thank you...oh, my goodness. Oh, that hurts.

-I'm so sorry. -Get off of her!

Hey, I didn't even see her. I didn't even see her, man.

-I'm trying to help. -Hey...

-[thuds] -[grunts]

-Man, get the hell out of here. -Man, you crazy.

-What is wrong with you? -Baby, you all right?

Baby, I know his type.

He was trying to be sneaky and touch you.

I can't have nobody touch you like that.

Hey, hey, it was an accident.

Why would you behave that way?

Baby, I know it was an accident,

but I just tried to protect you.

All right? I'm sorry I let my anger get in the way.

I can't be around someone

who I don't feel comfortable with or safe with,

and that can't control their anger.

Baby, I can control my anger.

It's just the way I show my love, I'm sorry.

[chuckles] That...that's the way you show your love?

By punching a man that bumped into me

and was merely helping me up?

That's how you show your love?

What you talking about?

Uh-uh. I don't even know what to say to that, okay?

I need--I need time to process all of this.

-I just have-- -Oh, no, no.

-We're not doing that. -What do you mean no?

Baby, this can be fixed. I can be fixed.

I just need some time.

Yeah, no. I didn't sign up for this, okay?

What are you talking about? Where are you going?

Uh, goodbye, Neiman.

Baby, I love you.

Are you serious?

[dramatic music]

[sighs] Okay.

[Sarah] "I'm sorry. I love you."

[tense music]

Neiman?

-You dropped something. -What are you doing here?

You haven't returned my phone calls or texts.

Hey, well, I'm sorry.

I've been busy.

You can't just show up to my office like this

whenever you want.

I need to talk to you.

Neiman, this isn't gonna work.

What are you talking about? You don't believe that.

I do. I don't know how to get past what you did.

-Past what I did? -[Sarah] Yes.

Sarah, are you still on that?

I told you I was trying to protect you.

And I'm sorry that you're not used to the way that I love.

You just wanna give it all up just for one incident?

-No, don't do that. -Really?

-Don't do that. Do not-- -Do what?

-That's not fair. -What's not fair?

-Don't blame me. You are. -I'm not blaming you.

I'm telling you, we can fix it.

Why you're acting like I hurt you?

Yeah, you didn't hurt me,

but you hurt that innocent man.

You need to leave.

[suspenseful music]

[Sarah sighs] I just--

I just keep replaying things in my head.

Uh-hmm.

It's just so hard for me to see that, you know.

Like, Eric and Neiman,

they've known each other for years.

And he's always so charismatic and kind.

And, you know, even they worked together.

Eric was like, all of the women in the office,

they had a crush on him.

I'm like, here I am thinking he's a nice guy.

And I'm gonna hook my friend up with a freaking psycho.

If I had known that,

I would've never hooked you up with him.

I know.

I think Neiman is a good guy.

I think it's just the flip side of him

that makes me nervous, you know?

It's just it freaks me out a little bit,

especially after everything that I went through with Jason.

Oh, that guy.

Girl, now he was just a down right crazy.

Crazy.

He's the reason for your rule.

Exactly.

No man can know where I live until he is my husband

and then we can move in together.

Okay.

But he's also the reason, girl,

that I don't trust these alarm systems.

Girl, what are the odds of that?

I'm working for the same alarm company

that installed your alarm.

Girl, I know.

He was watching me.

-[Carmen] Oof. -I don't trust alarms.

I trust my instincts and that bat

that I keep in that closet.

I feel you on that.

I have horrible experiences with men.

I'm just... I'm given up on love, okay?

I'm leaving that up to you.

Oh, girl.

But whatever happened with Jason?

I heard he got locked up

because was stalking some other woman.

And then he ended up moving back to Chicago,

but that was the last that I heard of him since.

And girl, I heard he was physical with that woman.

-Oh, my. -[Sarah] I know.

-Yup. -I really thought Neiman

was gonna be the one.

Me too.

Friend, is it me?

Am I the problem? 'Cause I feel like I just...

I keep attracting these men who are crazy and aggressive.

Girl, that has absolutely nothing to do with you

and everything to do with Mr. Psycho.

So I told Eric about what happened

and he wants to kill this guy.

I mean, I'm just happy he's not in town right now.

I don't know what to do.

That's okay. I'm here.

Eric is gonna be out of town for the next few days,

so if you need some company, I'll be here.

[phone vibrating]

Are you gonna answer that?

I don't wanna talk to Neiman.

He just keeps calling me nonstop.

At this point, girl, it's starting to freak me out.

Oh, God. Is he giving Jason number two?

No. It's not that bad.

He just...girl, he just won't stop calling.

[sighs] Well girl,

it's a good thing you got that rule in place.

'Cause if he knew this address,

he will be outside of your house right now

throwing rocks at the window.

For real, 'cause the way that he showed up

to that parking lot, that was a bit sketchy.

I'm not gonna lie.

Girl, he had me in my car looking crazy.

I was literally like this the whole time

looking in my rearview just making sure

he wasn't following me.

No. That's not okay.

But you're gonna be all right, friend,

we just gotta find you a good man.

But in the meantime, I'm here.

Right man.

This is always the fixer.

[Carmen] Always the fixer.

Hey, so Eric is gonna have to share.

He knows that, right?

Gosh. Well, he workin' out so.

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Hello?

[keys jingling]

[car alarm beeps]

[car engine starts]

Okay. So what are the projections on...

-[phone vibrates] -I have them.

-Oh, you have them? Okay. -Yeah.

[phone vibrates]

[indistinct chatter]

[keys jingling]

[suspenseful music]

No callbacks, no text messages.

What's a guy gotta do to get a hold of you?

Neiman, you scared the hell out of me.

-What are you doing here? -I need to talk to you.

Okay. Well I don't wanna talk to you, so you need to leave.

Sarah, why haven't you returning my phone calls?

I miss you.

Look, I've been trying my best to apologize to you.

I sent you flowers, cards,

voicemails, text messages.

Like, what's going on?

Please tell me you're not seeing somebody else.

That is none of your business.

-You are my business. -I will call the cops.

[Neiman] And what do you think they're gonna do?

Come and arrest me for coming to check on my girl?

-I am not your girl, Neiman. -Why would you say that?

You just told me you love me.

You told me I was your family.

I've shared some of my deepest secrets with you,

and now you're just gonna turn around

and lead me away like I'm some freaking douchebag?

-That's now how this works! -Oh, my God.

Get your damn hands off of me!

You know what, Sarah?

One day you're gonna get what's coming to you.

[scoffs] Is that a threat?

It's a promise.

[police siren wailing]

[dispatch] 3017 and 817, come in.

[officer] Uh, officer, is there a westbound patrol unit...

[Detective Harris] So you're here to ask

for a restraining order?

-[Sarah] Yes. -Against who?

Neiman Rhodes.

That's, uh, R-H-O-D-E-S.

Okay. Thanks.

-[Sarah] Uh-huh. -And what has he done?

Everything.

-Wanna walk me through that? -[Sarah] Sure.

Um, I have a hundred missed calls and text messages.

He showed up to the coffee shop that I go to every morning.

And he came by my job, and he assaulted me.

Physically?

No, but he got in my face and he threatened me.

Did he hurt you in any way?

No, he just grabbed me and he told me

that I was gonna get what was coming to me.

[Detective Harris] And what happened after that?

He left.

But he has a history of being violent

and I'm afraid that he is gonna hurt me one day.

-Has he been to your home? -[Sarah] No.

And thank God, he doesn't know where I live.

You know, I gotta be honest with you...

guy's smart.

He's doing just enough to scare you...

but not enough to cross the line.

-[Sarah] Uh-hmm. -And since he hasn't

physically harmed you or damaged any of your properties,

he hasn't broken the law yet.

What I need you to do is document everything.

We need all the proof we can possibly get

if we're gonna catch this guy.

Okay.

Well, what if I feel like he's watching me?

Well, feelings matter, but courts need patterns.

Well, uh, thank you guys for listening to me.

Always trust your instincts.

[Sarah] Yeah, I will.

-Okay? -[Sarah] Okay.

[pounding on door]

[suspenseful music]

[Sarah] What the hell?

Hello?

What the hell?

Hello?

[suspenseful music]

Is someone here?

Hello?

[doorbell dings]

Hello?

Hello?

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

[Carmen] It's me, girl. Open the door.

Carm?

Are you sure it was him?

It has to be.

Who else would send me a note saying

"I know where you live"?

I mean, Neiman has been the closest person to me

this past year outside of our inner circle, Carm.

But how, though?

I don't know. I-I-I don't know.

-Maybe he followed me? -[Carmen] I don't know, Sarah.

You told me you've been really careful.

I have been. Overly careful.

But you never know.

Maybe it's Jason. Maybe he came back

from Chicago to stalk you again.

Carm. Jason?

That was years ago.

Jason isn't even savvy like this.

He wouldn't even know the first thing to look for.

And as far as I know,

Jason still thinks I live in Seattle.

What do you think we should do?

I mean, I've already gone to the police

about a restraining order.

I just...I don't know.

Maybe this might help me get it?

Get dressed. We're going to the police.

What are you talking about, proof?

Like, this is proof enough.

The phone calls.

-From a blocked number. -The text messages?

Also not from Mr. Rhodes' phone.

Detective, you told me to get you documents.

This is as documenting as it gets.

"I know where you live."

Yeah. Well, I know.

I know this is very creepy and it could be a little scary.

This is still not enough evidence

for us to arrest Mr. Rhodes

or grant you a restraining order.

There's no threat on the note, there's no nothing.

What? This is ridiculous.

What is she supposed to do?

[Detective Harris] Like I explained to Ms. Jones,

we need either a verbal

or physical threat from Mr. Rhodes

in order for us to process a restraining order.

In the meantime, until that happens,

I mean, my hands are tied.

[scoffs] Of course they are.

No protection.

Wait, Carm, wait.

This is ridiculous.

[phone vibrates]

[heavy breathing]

[phone pings]

[suspenseful music]

[phone rings and vibrates]

Stop calling me, goddamn it!

Why are you doing this to me?

[Kevin] Uh, hey, Sarah. It's me.

-Kevin? -[Kevin] Yeah. You all right?

Carmen gave me your number, said it was okay to call you.

I hope you don't mind.

Yeah. Uh, I'm okay.

Um, and, you know,

I'm actually glad that you called.

[Kevin] Yeah, me too.

It was really nice seeing you the other day.

I thought maybe we could catch up.

How's dinner?

Um, yeah. Dinner sounds good.

[Kevin] All right. Well, dinner it is.

Uh, see you later.

Okay. Bye.

[upbeat music]

[car approaching]

[car engine revving]

[phone jingles]

[car engine revving]

-Hey. -Hey.

A man stopped by earlier looking for you.

-Uh, a man? -[Maya] Yeah.

He was really nice.

Well-dressed.

He didn't leave a name.

He said you were expecting him.

Is that your new man?

Maya, did this man say anything else?

No. Just said he'll be back.

He was so cute, too. [chuckles]

Okay. Well, if he comes back, you call security immediately.

Okay? Don't tell him anything, do not call me, just security.

-All right? -Oh. Okay.

Of course.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Everything's great.

Thank you.

[slow jazz music]

[Kevin] Well, I really thought New York would be forever.

Um, come to find out it

just makes me feel lonelier faster.

-Well, I tried D.C. -[Kevin] Uh-hmm.

Everybody kept telling me, "Sarah,

D.C. is where it's all gonna happen."

-That's what they say. -[Sarah] Right.

Everything happened, just not for me.

[Kevin] Well...

at least you didn't date an IG influencer.

-Kevin. -Uh, don't judge me.

Uh, she was beautiful.

-Okay. -[Kevin] On the outside.

-Uh-hmm. -Successful.

I just never felt more less of a man.

It was...

Well, I, um, keep choosing men

that look safe,

responsible, calm.

And then when we're alone,

that's when I discover their anger.

So...

So, about the last guy?

Yeah. It was, uh, a nightmare.

By the end of it, I didn't even really recognize myself anymore.

Yeah. Trust me, I witnessed it and to be honest,

I totally hated watching your life from the outside.

-Uh-hmm. -[Kevin] I just kept thinking,

if I was braver...

I'd never let you walk away.

[Sarah] Uh-hmm.

Actually, I really should've just came with you, Sarah,

never let you go.

[Sarah] Uh, oh.

Uh, thank you.

You remembered?

How could I forget?

I mean, you are the only girl in the universe

that orders dessert for an appetizer.

[chuckles] I mean, you're right.

-[Kevin] Uh-hmm. -You are a sneaky.

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.

May I?

Okay, this one time.

Mm.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[exhales] Whoo.

You just wanna take me through in here.

[Sarah laughs] Oh, my God.

Hey, girl. What [indistinct] about them blocked calls?

Are they still happening?

No, they haven't stopped.

And he's calling me from real numbers.

-His number. -Neiman?

Girl, he showed up to my job

and he told Maya that I was expecting him.

Sarah, that's not okay.

[Sarah] I know. It, uh, has me pretty shook.

Um, but on a lighter note,

I went out with Kevin.

-Oh. Hold on now. -Oh.

The Kevin that you said you would never date again?

Okay. Okay?

Because look, it was good, like good good.

I don't know. Um, I just...I felt hopeful.

You know what, I'm not even really mad at that.

You only left because you wanted to pursue your dreams.

He just didn't have any at the time.

-[Sarah] That is true. -You feel me? So, it's not like

it was a bad breakup or anything.

Who knows, maybe the second time around

might be better than the first.

Let's just hope with all this Neiman drama

that hopefully this will be worth your time.

I guess we'll see.

Sarah, I'm really sorry about Neiman.

Like, I feel so responsible

because I'm the one who hooked you guys up.

-And Eric, girl, he's pissed. -[Sarah] Hey, hey.

He's blaming himself and everything.

Don't. Carm, it's not your fault.

And please, tell Eric that he is not to be blamed at all.

-Okay? -[Carmen] Okay.

Hey.

-[Carmen] So... -So what?

-What? -Eric and I are trying.

Trying to what? Like, like, like, like, trying?

-[Carmen] Trying, trying. -[Sarah] Carm.

I'm so excited for you. Come here.

Oh, my God.

My friend's gonna be a mom sooner than later?

Sooner than later. Well, keep up, slowpoke.

I got a uterus to condition.

Wait! Let me help condition it!

Eric has been really worried about you.

He has someone look into Neiman, quietly.

Well, what did they find?

[Carmen] The obvious.

Ego-driven, obsessive,

the kind of guy who hates rejection

but no criminal past,

no violence, no history of it.

Basically, more bark than bite.

Honestly, I feel like he's a coward.

The kind of guy who gets off on intimidation, control.

Making women feel smaller, so he can feel bigger.

Hey.

You do not owe him fear.

You're not handling this alone.

Not anymore.

-We got this. -[Sarah] Yeah.

Together.

-Okay? -Yeah.

And girl, you know I'll help you beat his ass if I have to.

Carm.

-Okay. -[Carmen] Okay?

Uh-hmm.

[phone pings]

[line trilling]

Come on, girl, pick up.

[Carmen] This is Carmen. Sorry, you missed me.

Leave me a message and I'll call you back.

Carm. Call me back, please.

[phone pings]

[suspenseful music]

[Carmen] This is Carmen. Sorry, you missed me.

Leave me a message and I'll call you back.

Carm. Pick up, please.

You know what? I'm on my way.

[suspenseful music]

[phone vibrates]

-[police siren wailing] -[police radio chatter]

[Officer Nole] You said she left her house

around 11:30 or so, correct?

-[Sarah] Yeah. -[Officer Nole] Okay.

I should've--I should've just--

-I should've just... -It's okay. It's okay.

-It's all right. -[Kevin] Sarah. I'm here.

Do you know where Mrs. Matthew's husband is?

Um, he went to New Orleans for a work trip.

I gave the other officer his contact information.

-I just... -[Officer Nole] Okay.

I tried calling him multiple times

and he hasn't returned my phone calls

-so I [indistinct] -[Officer Nole] It's okay.

Thank you, thank you. That's plenty.

Thank you.

-Let me take you home. -I'll call you

when I get home, Kevin. Okay?

Maybe you should not be home alone tonight.

I should be with you.

That way, I can make sure that you're safe.

I have a rule.

I understand it, and I get it.

But, obviously, the reason why you created the rule

has been compromised.

-Are you listening? -[Sarah] Yes. I'm listening.

He knows where you live.

Whether or not he's dangerous or not, doesn't matter.

I don't want you to find out the hard way.

Okay. Yeah. You're right.

Come on. I'll follow behind you.

[Sarah] Okay. Yeah, yeah. You're right.

[dramatic music]

[Sarah] I can't believe she's gone.

Yeah. I'm sorry, Sarah.

I don't even-- I don't even know what to say.

I know how much she meant to you.

What am I supposed to do now?

Who am I supposed to talk to when I need it?

Who's gonna lay on my couch with me?

Who's gonna drink wine and just hear me complain

about everything, Kevin?

Carmen was my best friend.

She was my rock.

What do you mean she's just gone?

Hey. It's okay.

Hey.

Hey. This shit ends now.

I'm not letting anyone hurt you.

[sniffles]

I don't wanna do this alone.

You're not doing it alone.

I love you, Sarah.

I'm not losing you again.

I will follow you to the end of the earth

if I have to this time.

Okay.

[dramatic music]

Can you do me a favor?

-What's up? -Can you go to the closet

and grab the green box off the island?

-Sure. -Thank you.

-I got you. [grunting] -[laughs]

Oh, wedgie coming out.

Thank you.

[Kevin] Okay.

What's this pretty things inside?

Uh-hmm. Come here.

Oh, man.

Open it.

Carm helped me pick it up.

"To the love of my life."

This is beautiful.

Yeah, put it on.

-It's beautiful, babe. -Uh-hmm.

I'm never taking this off.

I miss Carm so much.

What am I supposed to do without my best friend?

It's all right, babe. Come here.

Come here.

I'm here.

I ain't going nowhere, baby.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

"Last night was incredible.

I had to leave early for work,

but I'll be back before you can miss me."

Huh.

Hmm.

[knocks on door]

You need to stay away from Sarah.

You came all way over here to tell me that.

Don't worry about that.

You worry about the wrong things, Neiman.

I know people.

And I also know you've been following her, watching her.

That stops today.

I'm impressed.

You know most men hide behind texts

or threats from other people.

I ain't most men.

Cops know exactly where you are.

And if anything happens to Sarah and I mean anything,

you're done.

You think this ends with a warning?

No, it ends with you disappearing, nigga.

That's how it end.

[Neiman] I guess we'll see.

[Kevin] I guess we will.

[intense music]

[Sarah] Hey, it's Sarah.

Leave a message.

[Kevin] Hey, Sarah. I'm on my way.

I'm just driving over there right now.

-[tires screeching] -[car crashes]

[car explodes]

[siren wailing on a distance]

[intense music]

[panting]

He posted my address on this flyer.

I-it's a picture of me in my room.

Wow. Did you notice this?

-What? -Right there. You see that?

Oh. Oh, my God.

This man is in my house.

Do you have security cameras, Ms. Jones?

No. I just have a front door camera.

I don't have cameras in my house.

I don't like being watched.

Well, it's a little late for that.

I mean, can you identify this guy?

No. I-it's too blurry.

We don't have proof, Ms. Jones.

We're back to square one.

Damn it! If you don't help me,

then I'm gonna have to help myself.

[exhales sharply]

[knocks on door]

-Ms. Jones? -Yes?

Do you know a Kevin Blanks?

Uh, yes, Officer, I do.

What's this about?

Is he in trouble or...

Not exactly.

There's been an accident.

Well, is he okay?

I'm afraid he didn't make it.

What?

What do you mean he didn't make it?

[cries] No, no, no, no, no, no.

You were the last person he called.

[crying]

[dramatic music]

[crying]

[birds chirping]

[intense music]

You sure you didn't let him in?

No. A-and you asked me for evidence and here you go.

You know, I pulled his file this morning.

He legally changed his name a few years back.

New ID, clean paper trail.

Okay, well, why?

He bounced through foster care,

like, a lot of placements,

a lot of complaints.

About what? He never mentioned that he was adopted.

Control, obsession,

emotional manipulation.

Clinical notes describe

narcissistic traits,

lack of empathy,

fixation once attachment was formed.

So he's a psychopath?

Well, you can say that he, uh,

he just sees things differently than we do.

So this is it, the note, the picture,

the bracelet, this is all Neiman?

How'd he get in here without breaking in?

-Did he ever have a key? -No.

Checked everything. Seems normal to me.

I guess he found a way you wouldn't notice. Weird.

So what do I do, Detective?

Well, we definitely have enough to bring him in for questioning.

[exhales sharply] Thank God.

[Detective Harris] Stay calm.

And don't assume anything is private anymore.

[Sarah] Okay.

You gotta call me the second

something seems off.

If I were you, I'd definitely find a new place to stay.

We'll get to the bottom of this, Ms. Jones.

Just stay safe.

And let me know as soon as you find a new place,

-okay? -Okay.

[exhales sharply]

[woman on radio] Charlie Main to Central.

[Detective Harris] Your fingerprints

are all over it.

They can't be.

Because I've never seen that before.

We found it in Sarah's living room.

Then you need to be talking to whoever put it there.

Kevin's dead.

Is this where you accuse me of murder?

Look, unless you're arresting me,

this conversation is over.

Hey!

You think you're smarter than everyone?

You must think I'm smarter than everyone.

Your words,

not mine.

So how we looking?

That fingerprint scare didn't work.

He knows. We got nothing to hold him on.

-He's a smart guy. -[Detective Harris] Uh-hmm.

[exhales sharply]

[phone rings]

What do you want?

[funeral director] Uh, is this Sarah Jones?

Uh, yes, this is her.

[funeral director] I'm calling to confirm

the headstone you ordered.

Uh, what?

What are-- what are you talking about?

[funeral director] The one designed

to match Kevin Blanks's.

[Sarah] He ordered my headstone and you still

haven't arrested him?

We brought him in for questioning.

The guy was as clean as a whistle.

No concrete evidence. If we make the wrong arrest,

he could sue the entire department.

Okay, but what about the restraining order?

Well, if we could prove that any of the stalking was him,

you'd have grounds.

No proof, no pudding. Guy stays one step ahead.

Never leaves enough proof for us to use.

Okay. I mean, what would you do if you were me?

-Come with me. -[Sarah] Okay.

-Uh-hmm. -[indistinct radio chatter]

[Detective Harris] I can't tell you what to do.

And I can't help you beyond the law.

But, um, I had a friend.

-[Sarah] Uh-hmm. -Lived alone.

Didn't believe help would always arrive in time, right?

-Yeah. -So he, uh,

he had a little something at the house.

Not because he wanted to hurt anyone,

it was about lines being crossed,

about giving people a chance

to stop before things went too far.

So you think that I should stay at home?

And that if he trespasses, I should...

shoot him?

What I'm saying, if someone

came into my house unannounced, startled me,

ended up getting shot with my legal firearm,

well then, that person shouldn't have come

into my house without an invite.

-[Sarah] Hmm. -All right?

That's all I'm saying.

Okay.

[suspenseful music]

[exhales sharply]

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

[dog barking]

It's just a house, Sarah.

[suspenseful music]

What is this?

Oh my God.

Oh, hell no.

-[key jingles] -[Sarah] What?

[suspenseful music]

[Sarah] What?

What's this?

Neiman, you are sick.

[panting]

[line ringing]

[Detective Harris] Sarah?

Detective, I'm in his place now.

You need to see this.

Hurry.

[suspenseful music]

[crickets chirping]

[phone rings and vibrates]

I'm not scared of you anymore.

-[phone rings and vibrates] -Stop calling me!

[Detective Harris] I'm proud to tell you Neiman

was legally served today.

Good job getting that evidence.

It was a bold move getting into his house like you did.

Thanks, Detective.

[Detective Harris] You got it.

[door creaks]

But somehow I feel like we're not done.

What do you mean?

Sarah? Sarah?

[Sarah] Please help me, Detective.

I think he's in my house.

[suspenseful music]

Hello, Sarah.

Kevin.

How? I thought that you were dead.

Why?

Because my car went into the river?

They didn't find a body, Sarah.

They just found that bracelet.

But Neiman, all of-- all of his things,

the pictures, the cameras, everything.

I know you did.

-I put it there. -[Sarah gasps]

[laughs] What?

What? You're good. You're good.

You're good.

See, I knew you would buy him

as the crazy psycho ex

and lead him straight to the police.

I needed him all the way out of the way

so that I could get you by yourself.

To get my revenge.

Revenge?

For what?

For leaving me.

Do you know how many restless nights I had

trying to figure out why?

Hmm? Why would you leave me?

That was about me, Kevin.

Okay. I asked you to come with me.

You didn't wanna leave.

I couldn't!

I had a life there. We had a life there.

Wasn't that good enough for you?

I wanted more for myself.

Oh, yeah, you wanted more.

You know, you just--

you just up and left.

No goodbye. No goodbye hug.

No goodbye kiss. No card. No letter. No nothing!

But that's good for you, right, I guess?

Kevin, it's been you this whole time?

-I'm so sorry, Kevin. -Yeah?

You're the sorriest woman on earth.

You know,

I didn't eat for 30 days with no food.

All I could do was think about you.

What did I do wrong? Was it me? Am I the problem?

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It got so crazy I had to see it shrink.

I actually went to go see it shrink.

Well, that...but that didn't work.

No.

She was a good lay.

She was a good lay.

You know that you're not gonna get away with this.

-[Kevin] She was a good lay. -Right?

You know that, right?

The police, they are on their way.

Oh, you're right. Yeah, yeah, they're on their way, but...

by the time they get here,

I'll be gone

and you'll be dead.

Just like your buddy Carmen.

-You're a monster. -[Kevin] Uh-uh.

Neiman's the monster.

Well, at least that's what everybody's gonna think.

Good ole Neiman boy.

Take the blame once again.

Crazy psycho ex.

Fell in love with a woman

who rejected him

and ghosted him,

turning him into a complete maniac!

So he sought to get revenge.

Wait. That sounds sort of like my story.

[Sarah] Kevin, if you kill me,

how will we be together? Huh?

You're right. You're absolutely right.

But I already got what I wanted.

Another chance.

And let me tell you something.

When they say,

the first you don't succeed, you must try again.

And the second time will be better.

Way better than the first.

-You're insane! -[Kevin] You're right!

You're crazy! No.

-[gunshot] -[Sarah shrieks]

[Kevin grunts]

[suspenseful music]

[Sarah screaming]

Get off of me!

Get off!

[thuds]

Hey.

Not to sound cliche, but, uh,

if I can't have you...

nobody can. [chuckles]

[grunting]

[gunshots]

No! Get it. [groans]

[Sarah] Kevin!

[gunshot]

[Detective Harris] When we found Neiman at his place,

all the evidence pointed at him

but it was a little too perfect.

So how did you know that it wasn't him?

The bracelet. There's no way anyone could have recovered it

from the lake because the car was too deep.

We can thank Neiman for that incredible clue.

Nice work. Stay safe.

Thanks, Detective.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

I know I came off a little aggressive, but...

I only meant to protect you.

I know.

I found out about Kevin,

what all he had planned.

I'm sorry I had to keep that from you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Does that mean I get a second chance?

Well, I mean, you did save my life,

and now you know where I live, so maybe.

Just I need some time

to process all of this, you know?

It's been a lot.

It's understandable.

-Yeah. -Well, you got my number?

Use it.
