McCarthy Quad
serves as the hub of USC life.

You know they say if it
rains on your college tour,

it's bad luck to go there?

Nobody says that.

And I probably won't
even get the scholarship.

Mom, can you just keep an open
mind?

I have an open mind.

You can move 3,000 miles away
from me.

Or you can go to a local New
York college

and live at home.

- Everybody wins.
- On your right-

- Except for me.

USC's student union building,

a hallmark of Romanesque
revival architecture.

Seems a bit outdated to me.

Dad loved it here.

Your dad was a great man.

A great taste, no, not so much.

On your left, Leavey Library.

Open 24/7.

It's not uncommon to see
students

leaving at four in the morning.

Ooh, that doesn't seem safe.

Mom!

Does anyone have any questions
for me?

Yes.

Please tell me a little bit
about campus crime statistics.

Mom, can you pretend to be
normal?

Yeah.

How can I be normal?

What's the normal thing to say?

Tell me something normal, I'll
say it.

She's not a very good tour
guide.

Chlamydia.

You're vertical.

I am horizontal.

Oh, this way, yeah,
okay.

Also, chlamydia has eight
letters.

Nine. The H is silent.

It's probably one of the two
questions

you got wrong on your SATs.

Why would chlamydia be on the
SAT?

Well, to subconsciously
dissuade students

from having sex, obviously.

Here are
your meals.

Here.

Thank you. Great.

Thank you.

I'm just gonna

- quickly do that.
- Hey!

I'll have more cake, thank you
very much.

- I know you want this.
- And I definitely

don't want this.

Ah, why did I push
you to get straight As?

If I only knew I was pushing
you straight out the door.

It's just college, Mom.

What am I gonna do when you're
gone?

I'm not dying.

You should have just
encouraged me to flunk.

100%.

Kermit.

Stick to vertical.

It's weird 'cause it fits.

Leave a big tip. He knows where
we live.

Hey, Mom.

Good night.

The septums.

And I.

And I was hoping to
create a controlled crack-

- Oh, she's gonna look like a
platypus

when he's done with her.

And won't light them
up.

So we want to bring in a
little butcher's carve-

What's he doing to her nose?

It's a lateral osteotomy.

He's narrowing the nasal bridge.

She's gonna look like this.

Uh huh.

Yeah, she doesn't look like she
likes it.

Well, she's anesthetized.

So she doesn't really know.

We go right through
the septum.

You don't even need to
put a suture in there.

Here, you can feel it.

Oh, the new neighbors
are blocking the driveway.

Well, they're not

very considerate people.

Oh! They just hit the tree!

They just... I'm going out
there.

Here we ask Hume here

to attach the soft tissue.

And we're now between the septum

and the right nasal bone.

We are perpendicular to
the bone on the left side.

Well, you
guess he's afraid of me?

What?

No way!

What happened?

He told me to fuck off.

What?

What a jerk.

Oh my god.

Look what that psycho did to
Dad's tree!

It's not that bad.

And he's staring at us.

I see you too!

Oh god, why do we have this
neighbor?

Don't go.

I have a quiz.

You do not have to go to
USC just because Dad did.

You can do pre-med anywhere.

Bye, Mom.

Love you.

I'm just saying, all we
have left is each other.

Love you, Mom.

There's a mistake waiting to
happen.

I thought you already slept
with him.

No, that was his brother.

Well, how was it?

So good, that's why
I wanna get with him.

Another mistake waiting to
happen.

Mr. Franklin?

- Yeah.
- Ew!

Sharp right.

Hi.

Seriously?

I gotta make time.

Buzz kill!

Hey, aren't you valedictorian?

Salutatorian.

Ooh, not as good.

Hey, those pants do not
do your body justice.

Excuse me?

Are those Nine's?

Those are the worst Nike
knockoffs I've ever seen.

You know you're not gonna
make good time in those.

You're really bothering me.

I don't think I am.

I think we're having a
great conversation here.

Hey, Mr. Franklin, what place
did she get?

Daniel, back to class.

Is that vodka?

Why don't you say it
a little bit louder?

Is that vodka?

Back to class!

Well, have you
ever tried acupuncture?

'Cause I know an acupuncturist.

I don't think he's
licensed, but he is Korean.

Wait, excuse me, who are you
talking to?

Linda.

What? I told you I'm
not taking her case.

Oh, come on Bill, she
is in so much back pain.

She has no money, her son
is going off to college-

- Hang up.

I mean just take it.

Do you have to make money
on every single case?

I don't believe this.

I think I can get him to take
it.

Thank you.

Hey.

Mom?

Mom?

What are you doing?

Shh shh shh shh.

The neighbor threw a rock at
me.

- What?
- Yeah.

I was doing laundry, I heard a
bang.

Thank god he missed the window.

Wait, can I see?

I can't...

What are you doing? Would you
get down?

What? Are you trying to get hit?

Well...

I'm gonna confront him.

Oh, oh, are you out of your
mind?

He could hurt you.

This is like that
movie.

What movie?

The one with what's her name.

Oh yeah, yeah. I love that
movie.

Melanie, Melanie, he's trying to
break in!

Who?

The neighbor! Who do you
think?

He walked by my window.

And then he jingles the door
handle on the back door.

Okay.

I think we're supposed
to hide under a triangle.

What?

That's in an earthquake.

What's wrong with you?

I don't know, I'm half asleep.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

He might have a weapon.

Oh, could he?

Okay, this is perfect.

Okay.

Oh, that's dirty.

What? Who cares?

Okay.

The bastard got away.

He has been trying to intimidate
us

ever since I confronted him
about ramming into our tree.

I'm sure you noticed the
damage when you came in.

Officer Jones is speaking
with Mr. Brody now,

but his wife confirms that he
was sleeping

beside her the whole night.

Well, of course she said that.

She's the wife of a criminal!

Brody is an electrical
engineer.

He has no criminal
history, no prior arrests.

So arrest him now
for trying to break in.

And for rock throwing.

And tree ramming!

Unless you have proof-

- Okay, okay.

I just want...

This is what it sounded like.

You know, it sounded like this

but it had more of a jingle...

You know what, would you mind
getting on the other side?

That won't be necessary.

You know what he said to me
yesterday?

All I did, I pushed
his boxes off the lawn-

- Wait, wait, what?

He told me to fuck off.

I mean, is that any way
to talk to a neighbor?

Well, what am I supposed to
do if this happens again?

Get proof.

There's not much we can
do without any evidence.

That's what I told my
daughter.

See, Melanie, we need to catch
him.

All right then.

Have a nice night.

Yeah, it's a little late for
that!

Aren't you scared

that he's gonna murder you in
his sleep

and bury you in his yard?

Oh my god.

Well, I wasn't until now.

I watch a lot of late
night shows with my mom.

Friggin' creepy.

What I'll do is
just practice my karate moves.

Oh yeah,
he should be really scared.

Really scared.

I know I'll scare him away.

Oh my god!

Does he not take a hint?

Are those from Daniel?

Yes, he's such a player.

I bet he does this with every
girl.

I wouldn't mind if he did it
to me.

Among other things.

Hey, aren't you with Jared?

"With"?

What does that even mean?

Hey!

You broke into my locker?

Figured you're a size eight.

I'm a five.

You're a five?

And don't
break into my locker again.

That's a tiny foot.

I should have shopped in kids.

I would've been a hell of a lot
cheaper.

Not as cheap as the Nine's.

Hey, hold up, hold up, hold up,
hold up.

I've got a great idea.

How 'bout we go get you

those freakishly small fives
Friday night?

I'm busy.

I doubt that.
Saturday?

No, I have plans.

Sunday?

My family's visiting.

Who?

Who?

Yeah who? Who's
visiting?

I'm not...

I don't need to tell you that.

You can't even think of a
name.

My Aunt Delilah is coming,
okay?

There's no such thing
as an Aunt Delilah.

Maybe like a Grandma Delilah or-

- I'm sorry you feel that way.

To be continued.

Nope. This is the end.

Well then hey, give my
best to Auntie Delilah.

Hello!

How have I never seen this
before?

It's my prom dress.

I've been saving it for you.

If you like it?

Oh. I love it.

I'll just take off the beads,

and shorten it, and make it
orange.

- I love it.
- I love you. I love you.

Okay.

Another rock.

That was probably just a pine
cone.

Why, why would he throw a pine
cone?

Well, it fell off our tree.

Come on, don't be
ridiculous.

I know what a rock sounds like.

It's the exact sound I heard
before.

Well, did you see him
throw the first rock?

How could I see him? I
had my back to the window.

By the time I'd turned
around he'd ran away!

But you did see him outside
the window last night, right?

That's what you told the police.

Think with your head.

Who else would it be?

Of course it's the afternoon,

that's when he does it.

He does it in the afternoons,
when he knows I'm home.

He has a pattern.

This day has been just
magical.

The chemistry with Greg has been
just-

- Study break.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- You look amazing.
- Okay.

So do you.

You've been in the
before?

Thanks.

Okay, you're in for a
treat.

I honestly didn't think I
would fall so fast for Greg.

Both Gregs and Jason.

Is there a guy she hasn't
kissed?

I really need that
time to decide if Greg-

- Honestly, if she doesn't pick
Jason,

I'm never watching this show
again.

Shh.

You hear him walking?

Where?

The roof.

Mom. This is ridiculous.

Why would he be on the roof?

I don't know how the
mind of a psychopath works.

How do you
even get on the roof?

I'll show you.

What, you're going on the
roof?

Melanie, remember what
the police officer said?

We need to catch him.

Watch the perimeters, okay?

Okay.

I got it.

Yep.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Goddammit! You were supposed
to monitor

the sides of the house!

We had a plan!

Mom, how am I supposed
to watch all four sides?

- I can't do it!
- Why did you start calling me

like a fucking idiot!

Mom, why are you so mad?

Because he got away!

Shh.

I hear him.

He's back, he's back on the
roof.

Wait a minute.

He's back.

See, he's trying to torture me

because I called the police on
him.

It's a power struggle, Melanie,
you see?

It's a power struggle.

I'm gonna get you, you bastard.

Leave us alone!

Leave us alone!

Leave us alone!

Hi, my name is Melanie.

I'm your neighbor's daughter.

Is there any way I could
speak to your husband?

Stop harassing him.

He's not well.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I don't know why my mom thinks
your husband's targeting her.

I think it's just anxiety.

But if he could just go over

and talk to her, that would be-

- Go over and talk to her?

He can't come within 10 feet of
her.

She got a restraining order
against him.

I didn't know that.

Your mother is deeply
disturbed.

You better deal with that before
things get out of control.

I'm sorry if I scared
you with the broom.

I'm not as strong as Dad.

He would have known how to
handle this.

Well, do you wanna talk to
someone?

What do you mean?

Well, this whole thing

is causing you a lot of stress,

and maybe it can help

to talk to a therapist or
just...

I do not need a therapist!

Your generation,
someone looks at you

the wrong way, you go
crying to a therapist.

Yeah, but Mom...

What if you're misinterpreting
some of the noises.

If that's what you think,
then you need a shrink!

Howdy.

So now you're following me.

I'm just here for my appointment
if that's okay with you.

And what are you seeing him
for?

Wouldn't you like to know.

Mm. No, not really.

Well if you must know,

you see I have a crush on this
girl

and she keeps on rejecting me,

which is really adding
to my severe depression

and very, very low self esteem.

Very funny. You can go now.

Okay, so I was kicked
out of three schools

and after I got out of rehab,

they said that I could
come here on the condition

that I see a counselor once a
week.

And is it helping?

Yeah.

I'd say he's come a long way

since we started talking.

So why rehab?

Well, if you wanna know,
you'll have to go out with me.

Pass.

I'll think about it.

Think about it over
dinner Saturday night.

Why do I have you both down
for 12?

Poor planning?

Melanie, come on in.

Daniel, I'll talk to you after,
okay?

Don't worry, we'll
get through everything.

Good for you for coming
here on your own volition.

Usually I have to force
kids to come see me.

So high five?

Uh, where to begin?

Uh, okay.

I'm Mr. Wessler.

This is a safe place.

Everything you say to me is
confidential,

unless you wanna like

or.

Then, I'm gonna have to
tell someone about that.

I'm here because of my mom.

Me too.

Well, she thinks our
neighbor is stalking her and-

- Oh, harming someone else,

that's another reason I
would have to snitch on you.

I'm sorry, what were you just
saying?

Well, my mom is
convinced that our neighbor

is trying to break into our
house,

like, climbing on our roof.

Every little noise she
believes is an attack.

Is this a recent problem?

There's never been
problems with neighbors.

There were some fights with
co-workers.

Like once she accused someone

of blowing cigarette smoke
into her office vent.

Stupid stuff.

When was that?

I think... two years ago?

After my dad died.

She's always been quirky,

maybe a little neurotic.

But nothing like this.

Well, neurosis can sometimes
develop into psychosis.

Well, she's not psychotic.

It's okay to be angry.

I'm not angry.

Oh, I'm looking
at eating disorders.

Uh...

Here it is, okay.

Right.

Look, I can't diagnose
someone I haven't met,

but based on what you're saying,

it sounds like your mother

has delusional disorder,
persecutory type.

It's what's commonly known as
paranoia.

It's like those people who think

that the government is
trying to kill them.

What is that Mel Gibson movie?

Wait, how do I convince my
mom that it's all in her head?

Um, that's gonna be hard.

Because people with delusional
disorder

are often the hardest to treat.

Challenging their reality,

because they don't believe
they have a problem,

it almost always results
in hostility and rage.

Okay so how do I help her?

Please just tell me what to do.

There might not be much you
can do.

I'm not gonna sit back and do
nothing.

Okay well, if loss and
loneliness

are something that's
attributing to her anxiety,

I guess, I guess you can
see what you could do

about social life.

The key is to just reduce
anxiety in her life.

This is so stressful.

Are you good?

Ha!

This is evidence.

The asshole
planted bees in the house.

It's proof he broke in.

And how did he get past your
bolts?

He's watching us.

He's watching us.

Yeah.

I didn't even think of this.

Okay.

Let's get out of here.

You're really scared, aren't
you?

Yes.

I like this place.

It's so happy.

Not for the people who work
here.

Mom, can I show you something?

A dating site?

Why did you do this without

Please don't be mad.

Look how many messages you
already got.

I know exactly what you're
doing.

You think I'm stupid?

You're doing this so you won't
feel so bad

when you go off to USC.

Well too bad.

There is no replacement for you
or Dad.

Have it your way.

An amazing man could have
written you

but you'll never know,
because you're being you.

Well, if me being me is the
problem,

then it's not meant
to be.

What?

Whatever.

I read your messages but
I guess you'll never know.

Well, you shouldn't

Fine.

I'll delete your profile.

Okay look, if they've

So Howard is my favorite.

He loves cooking, dancing,
hiking.

Oh, hiking?

Okay, he wants someone athletic.

- I'm not athletic.
- No no no.

It's not gonna work.

Everybody says they love
hiking.

Nobody actually goes hiking.

He's a systems analyst.

He's probably intelligent.

Yeah, with
those glasses, for sure.

Like I said...

Are you going to let me finish?

Look, my client wasn't even...

May I finish?

My client is not...

Christ, Jerry, I'll call you
back.

Oh, you didn't have to hang up
for me.

So, I'm living next to a lunatic
stalker.

Is this a personal problem?

Because this doesn't sound
work-related.

Oh no, no. No, it is
work-related.

I have a new client for you.

Well, I'll be the judge of
that.

Um, where's the file?

It's me.

My neighbor, I am talking
harassment, home invasion-

- Contact the police, all right?

But after work hours.

No no, I already did that.

This guy, he is so
sneaky, he is so clever.

He knows exactly what to
do to avoid getting caught.

I have prepared a list
of everything he's done.

Did you also prepare the
Dodson brief I asked for?

On Monday?

Yesterday he broke into our
house.

I have proof because I captured
the bees

that he placed there.

Yes, I know. He's a maniac.

Look, look what I found in his
mailbox.

You opened his mail?

Don't get sidetracked.

Brody is taking psychiatric meds

which tells you that
he has mental problems.

This is Metoprolol, this
is for high blood pressure.

You realize that postal theft
is a federal offense, right?

Well, good thing I have a
lawyer.

Dawn...

I...

I am not taking on new cases.

You have half the case
load you had last year.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Dawn, I can't help
you.

You can't help me.

Well...

I can't help you either.

Are you gonna get that?

I'll get it when I'm good and
ready.

Leave the door

open.

Open.

He was intimidated.

Bill's always been a bit of a
coward.

But you could just tell
by the look on his face

that he was just stunned
by what's going on.

Mom, maybe don't
bring this up to Howard?

I tell it like it is.

Right. So can you
not tell it like it is?

Melanie, I don't tell you what
to do.

You look pale. Put some rouge
on.

Oh they're here.

- Wait.
- Oh god.

Okay, wait.

Okay, let's take a look. Come
on.

Oh! Howard has money.

No no no, that's Daniel's car.

Oh, well that doesn't look
safe.

Oh, Daniel's so cute.

Mom, Howard looks
like such a nice person.

Mom, please don't ask
a million questions.

Oh come on now, give me some
credit.

- Hey, I'm Howard.
- Hi.

- Hi, Howard. Hi.
- Hi.

Hi, I'm Melanie.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Does anyone call you Danny?

Not really ma'am, no.

Where are your parents from?

You don't have to answer that.

Around here, actually.

Dawn, you didn't tell
me you had a sister.

I mean because you look young.

Not that you look old.

Here you go.

Lovely.

Oh, they're her favorite.

- Oh, great.
- Yeah.

The orange one.

Daniel, what do your parents
do?

- My dad is a-
- Howard, what do

your parents do?

Oh, um...

Well, they're in an old age
home,

uh so, I don't know...

Triathlons?

Melanie does not like that
I ask so many questions.

But I can't help it. I'm
inquisitive.

Hey, I think that's great.

- Yeah.
- Well thank you, Howard.

- Yeah.
- See Howard gets it.

Well, Howard's cool.

So are we all going out
together?

No.

Love you.

Bye, Howard.

She loves dancing.

- Good to know, good to know.
- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- All right.

Nice to meet you.

Oh... nice kids.

So, is this
tomato shirt orchestrated?

No, I didn't know

I was gonna be eating tomatoes.

I didn't even know I was
gonna be coming here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Would you like any?

Oh, um. I don't really drink.

In Europe they have a bottle
of wine

with like every meal.

Is that why you were in rehab?

I mean, last year I
went kinda crazy, yeah,

but now I know how to handle
myself.

Well, what do your parents
say?

Beer before wine, you'll be
fine.

Um... my mom, she uh,

she drinks like a fish,

so she doesn't really get a say.

And my dad, he's abroad most of
the year.

But he did have his assistant

call me when I was in rehab,

so he obviously like,
really cares, you know.

How's the food?

Amazing.

No good.

You see, I ordered it medium
rare and it came medium.

You guys did this last time.

I apologize, we can certainly
get that redone for you.

Well, then instead of eating

with my beautiful girlfriend

I'll have to wait 20
minutes for a new steak.

So no thank you.

I'm sorry, we'll take it off
the tab.

How about a free dessert too?

I love the chocolate
mousse you guys have here.

It's fantastic.

Did you see how I slipped in
the word girlfriend into that?

A bit presumptuous.

Not a presumption.

A prediction.

The fettuccine alfredo looks
good.

Do you have high cholesterol?

Um...

I'm borderline.

Yeah, fettuccine alfredo,

it's loaded with saturated fats

that clog your arteries.

Oh, okay.

Interesting.

I'll have the Cobb salad.

Oh, bacon, it's worse than the
alfredo.

- Jeez.
- Yeah.

Have you always
been this health conscious?

No, no, not particularly.

It's just...

I don't know, when Charles,

you know, a perfectly healthy
56-year-old

suddenly passes away, it makes
you wonder

what's gonna happen to the rest
of us.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Hey, I have to say, I just
love your profile picture.

You look so happy in it.

Yeah, it was a long time ago.

Well, I'm really
happy

to be here with you tonight.

My daughter pushed me into it.

Why aren't you married?

Oh you mean what's wrong with

No! I don't mean

what's wrong with you.

Why? Is there something wrong
with you?

Well, I was married for 21
years.

And I lost her.

Oh. You're a widower too.

No. I lost her to our
financial advisor.

Yeah.

Sheila had been having
an affair for three years

before I figured it out.

- Uh.
- Yeah.

And then she screwed me

out of every penny I ever had.

Yeah.

Well, she had a good financial
advisor.

Yes, she did.

Too good. Too good.

- And maybe.

I am a good driver.

Yep.

Absolutely.

Wait.

I'll trade you.

Oh.

Thank you.

Thank you for the shoes and for
dinner.

And for always making fun of me.

My pleasure.

Are you sure you're okay to

You know actually I

Okay.

I can set up the couch for you.

I think I just sobered up.

Okay.

Hey, good night.

Good night.

Ooh, originally $87.

No, don't fall for that.

They put that number there on
purpose

to make you feel like
you're getting a deal.

Did you know Howard's
brother works in advertising?

And did you know they
put clear shoe polish

on the food to make it
shiny in commercials?

Isn't Howard great?

So full of facts.

He took me to Jory's.

Oh, that's nice.

What about you, where'd you

Copa?

Yeah, I know.

I know, it really wasn't
that great though.

The steaks were overcooked.

Oh, food snob.

Well, aren't you glad
you gave Howard a chance?

You know, I's kind of
accepted I'd be alone

for the rest of my life but
now...

Mm.

Who knows?

You're welcome!

So come on now, gimme
some juice on Danny.

Hm, all's good.

Oh, come on now, I need
more than that to work with.

What's his relationship
like with his mother?

I don't know, I
haven't cross-examined him.

You should wear this
tonight.

Come on.

Ah, it's too short.

No it's not.

It's too sexy.

Mm-mm.

It's three bucks.

- You're getting it.
- Okay.

Come on!

Can I sleep at your house
tonight?

Yes.

Oh, I'm gonna fix that.

Don't stare at anything
too long.

Okay.

Oh, oh, that looks like a sturdy
gate.

Oh, thanks. Home Depot.

Looks like it'd be
hard

for someone to climb over that.

You know what? One sec.

That way no one can hear us.

Ah. I like that.

Oh wait, do you have an alarm
system?

Uh, yeah.

Well, I hope it's not EAP

'cause they're not reliable.

Uh, hey, maybe we'd be more
comfortable in the bedroom.

I have coasters.

Howard.

Yeah.

Wait, are you trying to sleep
with me?

Well, you did ask to sleep
over. Yeah.

Uh.

Okay, here's the thing...

Oh.

The thing is...

What?

This thing is...

my head started to hurt
really bad at the bar.

I have some Advil.

No, it's, it's it's...

No, I realized Brody,

he's my neighbor,

he's causing me pain through
electromagnetic devices,

wavelengths, whatever-

What?

He is a sick man, but
he's an electrical engineer,

a devious one, and he built

an electrical device

to trigger pain in my body.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know,
I know what you're thinking.

Who can truly understand
the mysteries of the mind,

especially the mind of a
sociopath?

Not me.

But what I do know is he's
expecting me to come home tonight

so if I sleep here, it will foil
his plan.

Uh...

This is a lot to wrap my
head around.

- Um...
- Ooh.

Look, I've gotta
finish some work tonight.

Why don't um...

Why don't I drive you home,

and we'll continue this at
another time?

Okay?

Okay, I know what's going on.

Now that I'm not gonna sleep
with you,

you're no longer interested.

No, no no no.

Dawn, at least let me drive you
home.

Fuck you, Howard.

You're not a quality man.

Dawn.

Dawn.

Dawn! Come on, hey!

Oh okay.

Um...

Oh, you have no messages.

And I pushed your 1:00 to
go after your lunch meeting-

- Dawn.

Do you have that same shirt in
charcoal?

I like the other one better
because it covers your stomach.

Did you sleep here last
night?

Uh, what?

Oh no.

My neighbor, my lunatic
neighbor,

he's terrorizing me at home.

Where was I supposed to
go?

I think you should go home.

Are you listening to
anything that I'm saying?

I can't go home.

- I can't go home!
- Well, you can't,

you can't-
You're not hearing me Bill!

You can't stay here
either.

So let's...

Oh, you think he's gonna come
after you?

Oh no, don't, he doesn't know
I'm here.

Dawn, this is not working out.

Look, I can get fresh linens,

your couch, it'll be untouched.

- They'll never know.
- I don't know

what's happening to you, but
I don't want any part of this.

Oh, you're firing me?

You're firing me? After six
years!

Six years, I've worked my ass
off for you!

Six years, and that's...

Did he... did he threaten you?

Who? What?

Brody I'm talking about!

He got to you, didn't he?

He got to you.

You're a coward.

You've always been a coward.

That's why you lost the Benville
case.

You have no empathy for me,

you have no empathy for Linda.

Get your things and go.

No, you know what? I quit.

I quit, Bill.

How's that?

Go to Robbins, he's a much
better lawyer across the hall.

Much better lawyer!

Mom, what the hell?

I'm gonna be late!

You slept at Howard's?

Mom, what were you thinking, I
gotta go!

Oh, stop, stop!

Mom, please! We need to leave!

Give me just a second, okay?

Just...

Goddammit.

Okay.

Come on, Mom, we
need to go.

I can't be late for my test.

Just forget it.

You don't have to go today.

Mom, yes I do. I have an
AP exam in half an hour!

And we still have to pick up
Lacy.

So why didn't you call and
remind me?

Remind you
to take me to school?

I am in no mood for your
attitude.

Do you have any idea
what I'm going through?

Did it even occur to you that
I just got fired from my job?

No.

What happened?

That son of a bitch. He got to
Bill!

How was your date with Howard?

He's a sleaze. He's just after
a fuck.

What are you doing?

Trying to lose him.

Who?

Brody, our neighbor, he's
following us.

Still? That's crazy!

It's a nightmare.

What are you doing? You passed
it!

Yeah I did, because I don't
want him

to know where you're going.

Mom, I'm going to miss my
test.

God, all you care about is
yourself.

I'm being persecuted here, okay?

Do you understand that?

Bye.

Welcome, you have appointment?

I need to talk to Bill.

Well, there is no
Bill here. Only William.

Bill Hoffman!

Bill is William?

Oye, I have to call all these
people back.

I'm only a temp.

William fire some crazy lady
and...

Hey!

Why did you fire my mom?

- Okay.
- I try to stop her

but she run from me.

Why you do that?

Ronit, please. Thank you.

Close the... close the...

I'm running a business here.

She can't sleep in my office.

She slept here?

Among other peculiar
behaviors.

Have you seen this?

This is what she gives me. Take
a look.

And there are stacks of these on
her desk.

Well, she really needs a job.

She already has a job.

Please.

Can you just give her another
chance?

I have given her so many
chances.

To be honest,

if it weren't for what
happened to your dad,

I would have fired her a long
time ago.

Yeah but this has only been
happening for a few days.

A few days?

Where have you been?

What do you mean?

Okay, so that means she didn't
tell you

about the water delivery
guy, is that right?

God only knows what she thought
the guy did to the water.

Now this whole deal with the
neighbor.

I mean...

She's off the edge.

I don't believe...

Hey!

I caught you!

Mom?

Melanie!

Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- I saw him!

- I saw him, up there.
- Yeah.

Can I get you some coffee?

What?

You have any almond milk?

Sure.

What's happening?

I hired a private
investigator.

You're gonna need at least six
cameras

to cover all the angles.

And we should probably go with
HD.

It's a bit pricey,

but you need the high res.

You're the expert.

I'll get your coffee.

How much are you paying him?

You're cranky.

What, do you think you
failed your test today?

No, I missed it.

We were an hour late, remember?

Mom, just tell me, is it
hundreds?

Thousands?

5,000, okay?

You know why?

Because I don't put a
price on peace of mind.

Mom, you are throwing away our
savings!

Look, we need a top
professional for this job.

I'll give it to him.

You know that there's nobody
after her.

She just lost her job.

And we don't have any money.

Got any Stevia? I forgot to
ask.

She's paying me to follow him.

I can't take the money and not
do it.

Well then don't take the
money.

I can't follow him for free.

Don't follow him!

Listen, I got an idea.

Why don't you put on
something nice, right,

go talk to your neighbor.

Say, hey, how are you?

Then you say, come over,
talk to my mom, you know,

and put out like peanuts.

Right?

And he can tell your mom, look
sweetheart,

I'm not the boogeyman.

No?

What's your name?

Gary.

Gary, okay.

He won't talk to my mom.

She got a restraining order
against him.

And you know what you're doing?

You are adding fuel to the fire.

Oh, no, honey, what I'm doing
is,

I'm just doing my job.

You're taking advantage
of a mentally ill person.

I can report you.

Okay.

When you're done with your
investigation,

you're gonna do whatever
it takes to prove to my mom

that nobody is stalking her.

Fine.

But I'm gonna need a fresh cup
of coffee.

Julie, good to see you again.

It's Melanie.

Then why does it say Julie at
2 pm?

Oh, that's tomorrow.

Okay, sorry.

My mom is outside.

Why?

Why?

Because the only person I
care about is losing her mind.

Oh right, Melanie.

What can I do for you?

I told her my grades are
dropping,

so you asked to see us both.

Would you be able to do, like,

I don't know, family therapy or
something

and just try to work on her
delusions?

Oh boy.

Are you a licensed therapist?

That's not required
of a school counselor.

Do you have a PhD?

I studied psychology at MGSU.

Mississippi Gulf State
University.

Well, I'm asking because
teenagers

have serious psychological
issues.

Melanie's had anxiety her entire
life.

I've noticed.

See, school counselors
can be just as perceptive

as licensed therapists.

Yeah, well, when her father
died,

that aggravated her anxiety.

He was a doctor, my husband.

He had a PhD.

Dawn, do you think there's
anything else

frustrating Melanie besides
her general anxiety?

Well, I'm sure it's
because of the stalker.

She must have mentioned him to
you.

Well, my conversations with
Melanie are confidential.

But yes, she did, mm-hm.

You know, let me tell you
something.

The other night I was at a bar,

and I got this severe pain in my
head.

He's an electrical engineer.

He built an electrical
device to cause me pain.

Is is possible that the pain
was caused

by something else?

Perhaps drinking at a bar?

Oh come on, give me a
break, Mississippi Gulf.

Dawn, I just wanna read you
something,

and I'm curious to get your
thoughts,

if that's okay.

Sure.

"Delusions are false beliefs

that are based on a
misinterpretation

of perceptions or experiences.

The unshakable belief
that one is followed,

spied on or conspired against,

is a characteristic

of persecutory delusional
disorder."

I think I got it, I think you
nailed it.

Really?

Yes. Brody, he has delusional
disorder.

Hm.

Much better.

Let's get outta here.

Hey, Maria.

Maria, this is Melanie.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

They think they're so clever.

Maybe they just don't want you
to drink?

No, no.

They don't want me drinking
any of their good shit.

The cheap drinks are under the
bar.

Might I interest you in a Bloody
Mary?

Mm...

Can you do a virgin?

I would love to do a virgin.

But let's drink first.

Wanna jump in?

I don't have my swim
suit.

Well that's not enforced here.

It's too cold.

It's heated.

You don't wanna jump in?

I'm not a good swimmer.

I know CPR.

I know what you're doing.

What am I doing?

I'm just, I'm just trying to
swim.

Can you stop coming on to me?

It is freezing!

You said it was heated.

I lied.

Ah!

You know, I haven't gone
in a pool in two years.

My dad died in our pool.

He had a heart attack.

I'm sorry.

You know...

The funny thing is is that he
always said

that swimming is good for your
heart.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what-

- No.

I think it's just the drinks.

You're okay.

I thought I was over it.

The first year was so
hard after I lost him.

And now I'm afraid I'm losing my
mom.

Is she sick?

I'm sorry.

I, I'm okay.

What? No.

Yeah, no, I'm okay.

I think, can we talk about
something else?

Let's talk about something else.

Okay.

Okay.

Would you go to prom with me?

Hello ladies.

I hope you didn't come

in that big conspicuous van of
yours.

Uh...

So this is a full account of his
activity

for the past week, okay?

Leaves for work around 7:10.

- Yep.
- Returns between 5:40 to six.

On Saturday he went to
St. Percy's Hospital.

Oh.

You see? He's getting
psychiatric treatment.

And on Sunday-

- Yep.
- he went out to lunch

with the wife and daughter.

Here they are at Olive Garden.

What did he order?

Does it matter?

Yeah, it looks like he's
holding

some kind of probe here.

It's a spoon.

Oh, now you're an expert.

Where's the audio?

It's a photograph.

You didn't get any audio?

Did you want me to?

Yes! It looks
like they're conspiring.

No, I don't think so.

She's probably saying something
like,

pass the breadsticks.

And he's like, I thought we
talked

about you watching your
weight or something like that.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Well, so where's the footage
of him inside the house?

'Cause that's where the
criminal activity is happening.

It's illegal to film
him inside his house.

Gary, you can't make an omelet

without breaking a few eggs.

Look, I've been in the
business for 25 years

so if there was any suspicious
activity,

I assure you I would catch it.

You understand what this
means?

Yeah...

Do you?

We're dealing with a seasoned
criminal

who can outmaneuver a private
investigator

with 25 years experience.

Do you understand the mastermind
behind this operation?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, have you seen my laptop?

Shh! He can hear you.

You know why Gary couldn't find
anything?

Because Brody's been tracking
us through your laptop.

Where is it?

I threw it away.

What?

Which garbage?

The garbage they took this
morning.

What the fuck, Mom?

All of my notes, my projects, my
pictures,

everything is on my computer!

Well, you shouldn't have
everything on your laptop

when it can be so easily hacked

- by a predator.
- Oh! You're impossible!

See, he's turning us against
each other!

I taught you well.

Well, I'm a good student.

With any luck you'll graduate

with a 4.0 blood alcohol level.

- Who is that?
- Oh!

- Hi!
- Hi, oh!

- Eh eh eh!
- Edible?

Oh, incredible.

Yes.

You will not believe who
I had to do to get this.

Who?

- Hey guys.
- Hey, what's up, man.

Good to see you, dude.

Not him.

Oh, my...

Oh hey, is this your first
time?

So?

I mean, you might wanna start

with, like, a quarter of that,

'cause a whole square is if
you really wanna check out.

I really wanna check out.

Mm.

Woo!

What was that?

What was what?

I'm gonna be sick.

Leave me alone!

For the millionth time,

I didn't kiss her.

Well, I saw you.

You were high as a kite.

You don't know what you saw.

You're paranoid.

Look, it's not your fault.

It's just what weed sometimes
does.

Okay.

Sorry.

Oh.

I can't live here.

I'm gonna go stay in my car from
now on.

But you can't live in your
car.

Let's just go to a hotel.

I don't have money to
throw around on hotels.

Anyways, he can access
the roof of a hotel.

Yeah but Mom, you're going to
sleep

in your car every night?

No, that's crazy, Mom.

We should just move.

You think he won't follow us?

Mom, please, please don't go,
Mom.

If I go, at least you'll be
okay.

- Okay.
- No, Mom please.

- Mom, I need-
- Melanie, Melanie,

I know, Melanie, I can't,
I just can't, Melanie.

Please, Mom.

Melanie, I can't.

I'm sorry.

Melanie, I can't do it. I can't
do it.

I'm sorry.

Did you not pay the bills?

Hi.

You look amazing.

Like, so gorgeous.

Thank you.

You look good.

Thanks.

I haven't had anything to drink
today.

So, I'm like 100% here with you.

Okay.

This is for you.

And that's the fun-sized
version.

This is also for you.

Thank you.

And the limo?

Will be here in like an hour.

So what do you wanna do for an
hour?

It's a very pointy
dress.

I know, well, it was my mom's

and apparently handmade in Peru

and the rhinestones were
attached with this...

You're beautiful.

You're the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Me too.

I mean you to me.

No. God.

- She called the police again.
- What the hell?

Fuck! Fuck!

No!

My daughter's in the house.

I was coming home to take a
shower.

Melanie, Melanie!

Okay, Melanie, Melanie was in
the house.

Melanie, tell the officer what
you saw.

You saw him climbing on the
roof.

I was inside.

I didn't see.

Okay, fine, you didn't see
this time

but tell the officer how
many times you've seen Brody

- on the roof.
- What did you see?

Tell us what you saw.

Tell, tell!

I didn't see anything.

Melanie, what are you saying?

- Melanie, Melanie.
- Mom...

- Tell the officer the truth!
- Listen to me, Mom.

It's in your head.

- It has always-
- It's not in my head,

- Melanie.
- It has always been

- in your head, Mom.
- What are you saying,

- Melanie?
- You are paranoid, Mom.

- Please listen to me.
- Melanie, what are you

saying to me?

- Melanie-
- Listen, listen to me.

- You need help.
- Melanie, I don't understand

- what you're saying to me.
- It's okay, it's okay, Mom.

- We saw him together Melanie!
- You are paranoid, Mom.

What are you saying to me now.

What are you talking about?

- We saw him together.
- You need help, Mom!

- Let her go, let her go.
- He did!

- What's going on?
- Mom!

- What's going on?
- Just nothing!

Mom, please see a psychiatrist
with me.

Please just come see

- a psychiatrist with me Mom.
- Melanie, I don't even know

what you're saying.

Mom, just to see

- if medication will work, Mom.
- No, no, you, you,

- you are a traitor!
- Let me help you!

- No, Mom!
- You are a traitor!

- Get away from me!
- Listen to me.

- Melanie, forget about her.
- I cannot believe

- she's doing this to me.
- She's sick.

Don't listen to anything

- she's saying.
- Shut up!

- It's all right.
- You told me she was sick.

No!

Don't call her sick!

What's your problem?

Just leave!

Why are you still here?

You already got what you wanted!

- Just go!
- I'm trying to help you!

Leave me alone!

Melanie, what
are you saying to me now?

Listen to me,
everything was in your head-

- I don't know you.

- You do not deserve my dress.
- Please, Mom.

- Take my dress off.
- Mom!

- Take my dress off!
- Mom!

Because you are a traitor!

Listen to me, Mom!

- Get back in the car.
- It's not in my head!

- Get back in the car!
- It's not in my head.

Melanie...

I don't even know you right
know.

- Melanie, come over here.
- Back away from me!

It's okay-

Mom, it's okay!

Get her away from me!

- Come over here.
- She's telling me

- that I'm not seeing things.
- Mom, please, Mom!

She saw him too!

Do you believe that
your mother is a threat

- to herself or to others?
- That man has been stalking

- me for how many months now?
- If she is,

you can get her
hospitalized involuntarily,

but they will not keep
her against her will

more than 72 hours, okay?

You don't see
anybody because you gotta go

around the house.
Focus on me,

It's gonna be...

Focus on me.

- Mom!
- Was is she saying right now?

Listen to me.

- You better say-
- Please listen to me.

that I know what the hell's
going on!

Melanie.

- Listen to me, listen to me.
- Please mom, I'm sorry Mom.

Don't say you're sorry to me.

- Back the fuck away!
- Just let me talk to her.

- Let me talk to her.
- I promise I will.

- Let me talk to her.
- Just relax, relax.

I can't even think straight
right now.

Why are you in my face right
now?

You back off!

Let me talk to her, please!

Mom, please!

- Mom!
- Relax.

- Let her go.
- Everybody's looking,

- and this is-
- Let her go.

- just fucking crazy!
- Let her go.

Please, why can't
you

- let me talk to her?
- Let her go.

- Let her go.
- Please, please.

- One last thing.
- Mom!

- One last thing.
- Listen!

Let her hear this.

Dad would be disgusted in you.

Mom.

Mom!

You're not my daughter.

Don't leave, Mom.

Not my daughter.

Mom!

Just let me go!

I needed one person to rely on.

I know.

You need help.

I can't fix you.

I can't fix anyone.

Hi,
this is Officer Morales.

Hi, this is Melanie.

Dawn Leedy's daughter.

How can I
help you?

I haven't heard from my mom in
two weeks

and her phone is disconnected.

Are you a
minor?

You can't be staying on your
own.

I'm with my dad.

Tell him to
come,

and file a missing persons
report.

I also recommend he call
hospitals,

and if he can't find her...

the morgue.

Thank you.

I didn't have anyone else to
ask.

That's okay.

How did you track her down?

The GPS of her car.

It looks like she's right up
here.

Well, we can walk around the
neighborhood,

go door to door, ask if anyone's
seen her.

Mom.

Here you go, Charles.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

What?

Mom, what happened
to you?

You're going the wrong
way.

What are you...

Oh, now you're paying
him to spy on me, huh?

You're living on the street?

You think I wanna be here?

I'm here because you stabbed me

in the back with the
police, that's why I'm here.

Please come home, Mom.

I can't. I can't.

Because of you I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for everything.

I just...

You can't stay here.

I can't even stay in my car
anymore.

He's tracking it.

This is the first place
I found that's safe.

I am not leaving it.

I brought you some food.

It's in the car, I can get it
for you.

I don't need your favors.

I can get my meals at the
shelter.

Well, I got you some sweaters.

And a dress.

What am I gonna do with a
dress?

It's my graduation Friday.

Give me a break.

You don't want me there.

You just don't wanna be
embarrassed

when your friends wondered
why your mom didn't show up.

I don't even care about
graduation.

I promise you.

I'll stay here with
you.

Listen to me, don't you get
it that he's following you?

The longer you stay here the
more dangerous it is for me.

I can't leave you here alone.

Melanie, you're hurting me,
okay?

Go.

Go!

My dad was an alcoholic.

I spent half my childhood
trying to save him,

the other half hiding from him.

Sometimes you can't save a
drowning man.

You either sink with them or
swim.

When I was 18, I cut him loose.

Congratulations.

Well done, little lady.

Congratulations.

My salutatorian.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Your mom must be so proud.

Congrats.

Thanks.

You can't hate me as
much as I hate myself.

You'd be surprised.

What are we even supposed
to do with these things?

Hang yourself.

I don't know what's wrong with
me.

I mean you, you were my
only friend for 11 years.

I'm so sorry.

I'm trash.

I know I am.

I hate you.

Yeah, I know.

And I'll keep hating you.

For the rest of high school.

I was so drunk I
tripped on my prom dress

and it slipped off.

If it's any consolation, the
whole class saw me naked.

I bet you loved it.

I'll see you out there.

I'm so happy you came.

How are you?

Hm.

You wanna have lunch after?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

This class by far has been
the most successful class

in the history of our school.

I say that to every class.

But in all seriousness,

I'm honored to say that
I've learned so much

from each and every one of you.

I've learned about patience,
motivation,

determination, and at prom,

I learned about twerking.

Thank you, Vanessa.

But most of all,

I learned that in order

- for our students to excel.
- Hey!

Everybody sees you, Brody!

Brody, I have witnesses now!

- Brody!
- Please be seated.

- Brody, I see you!
- Mom!

- What are you doing?
- Okay, I see you!

- I see you!
- Stop it.

- You are humiliating me.
- What?

Oh now you know what it's
like, huh?

Why are you ruining
everything?

Why did you even ask me to
come here?

Mom-
Why?

- Because he followed me here!
- Mom, just relax!

- No!
- Sit down.

- Sit down!
- No!

- Just leave then!
- No, no.

- No, I won't!
- Leave!

I don't need you in my life
anymore.

- Oh really?
- Yes.

Well fuck you and your
ceremony!

I don't wanna see you again,
Mom.

All right, fine.

Then you never will!

How's that?

It should have been you
instead of Dad.

What did you just say?

It should have been
you.

Ma'am, not here.

Follow us.
come on.

- Calm down please.
- Yes.

Everybody sees this.

Melanie Leedy.

Any chance you're
related to Charles Leedy?

Yeah, my dad.

We were classmates.

We took this class together

some 30 years ago.

How the heck is he?

Here's a classic for you.

So first year students are
about to dissect cadavers

in the morgue.

And your dad was in his last
year,

so nobody knew who he was.

He gets there early, undresses,

and he pretends to be a corpse.

I swear he lied still for 20
minutes.

A determined son of a...

At some point I'm worrying
he's actually dead.

Well, Professor Flynn takes out
a scalpel,

ready to cut into his flesh,

and suddenly your dad jumps
up and starts screaming,

"It's a miracle! It's a
miracle!"

Professor Flynn passes out.

Three students run out
screaming.

And I don't think we ever saw
them again.

Oh my god.

Do you have any more stories?

Hundreds.

How much time you got?

Hi, it's me.

I wanted to let you know
I'm selling the house.

Neither of us live there
anymore, so...

I'm putting things in storage.

If you're coming back for a
break,

you can sort through your things

and decide what to do with them.

Okay...

Bye.

Hi.

I left empty boxes in
your room.

You can take what you want

or throw it all away, I don't
care.

Come on, come on.

Oh come on.

I'm sorry for what I said at
graduation.

Oh, give me a break.

You, you never once believed me.

You never once took my side.

Mom, I was always on your
side.

Are you kidding me?

You have no idea how much
pain he's causing me.

Do you know last night I burned
up so bad

I wanted to die?

Mom, I don't know

what to say.

I do.

You abandoned me.

That's what it is.

You abandoned me.

I'm sorry.

No you're not.

No you're not.

Look what he did to us!

My own daughter he turned
against me!

Where's your dad?

Where's your dad, huh?

Come on, come on.

- Get inside.
- Where's your husband?

He's taken everything from me!

Where is he?

He has never done

- anything to you.
- Yes he has!

I've had enough!

That's it.

That's the machine he's
been using against me.

That's it, right there.

Brody!

Brody!

He passed away.

What are you talking about,
bullshit!

We lost him a month ago.

No you didn't.

No, because last night I was
burning up,

I was burning from that
machine right there!

That's his chemotherapy
machine.

He had pancreatic cancer.

What?

Doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense.

Mom, it's okay.

It doesn't make sense.

- It's okay.
- I'm not doing well here.

I'm not doing well.

- I can't, I can't breathe.
- Mom, just...

- I'm not doing...
- Mom, look at me.

I can't do it.

It's okay, it's okay.

I don't know what's happening.

- Mom, look at me.
- I don't know...

You're okay, it's okay.

- I don't feel good.
- I'm here.

- I know.
- I can't breathe.

Come on, just put your arm
over.

- I think I gotta go.
- Come on, come on.

I gotta go to the hospital.

I gotta go.

Thanks.

How is she?

Sleeping.

You can see her during visiting
hours.

Well, how long will she need
to stay?

Probably a few weeks.

We'll need to see how she
progresses.

But she'll get better?

Pills and therapy help,

and she'll need to stick
with both of those.

But there's no cure for
delusional disorder.

There's only treatment.

We see the best results in
patients

who have a strong system of
support.

Hm.

Well, I'm the only one she has.

And I'm not that strong.

I talked with your mom
for almost two hours.

Sounds like you've been through
a lot.

I gave up on her.

It's easy to blame people who
are ill

for the way they are.

But she didn't choose mental
illness

any more than a person
chooses cancer or diabetes.

The way she described
you, you're pretty strong.

You'll need to be strong
enough for both of you.

Thanks.

Appetizers.

You know why there are no knives
in here?

I can take a wild guess.

Bonnie over there
tried to

with a colored pencil.

I mean, if you want it that
bad...

Hi Bonnie.

Mom, you're so obvious.

My hair's thinning.

A side effect of the medication.

Oh, Mom.

It's nothing terrible,
it's just thinning.

Worst case scenario I'll cut it
short.

I'll look like Grandpa.

Well, I'll cut my hair too.

We can do it together.

I'm going back to USC on Friday.

Yeah, yeah, I understand.

I'm sorry you had to miss so
much school.

I'm coming back home next
week.

Why would you do that?

I'm moving back home.

I can't let you do that.

I'll transfer to a local
college.

Don't give up on USC because
of me.

I'm not doing it for you.

I'm doing it for me.

of USC life especially

for first year students.
