‫?How you holding up

‫The things ‫...they're accusing me of

‫I don't even know ‫.who that person is

‫.Look at that girl

‫She has no idea ‫.what's ahead of her

‫.I wish I could warn her

‫They're going to see ‫the real you today

‫and this whole thing ‫.will be over

‫...And if they don't

‫.You can't think like that

‫,If they don't

I could go away ‫.for 10 years, Scott

‫I wouldn't be there for Miles ‫.or for you

‫I don't know ‫.how I'm supposed to handle this

‫!Miles] I'm ready]

‫.Scott] Hey, that's great]

‫,Miles, hey

‫I'm going to take you ‫?to school today, okay

‫.I want Mommy to take me

‫,mom] Oh, Moo] ‫.I wish I could

‫But I have a very important ‫.appointment today

‫I want you to go have fun ‫?with your friends, okay

‫.I'll see you there

‫[♪♪♪]

‫.Hi

‫?Can I pick my room

‫.Scott] Slow down, buddy]

‫We don't know ‫.if this is our house yet

‫.I wish I had that much energy

‫Yeah, he's turned house hunting ‫.into a competitive sport

‫I like the cul -de -sac ‫.on this one

‫.Seems safe for playing outside

‫!realtor] Yeah]

‫.You're right

‫It's a great ‫.family neighborhood

‫.Lots of kids

‫And there's a great ‫elementary school

‫,just two miles away

‫It's one of the top -rated ‫.in Seattle

‫?All right, shall we

‫.I like this siding here ‫.It's a nice touch

‫.Okay, here we are

‫.Just watch your step there

‫.Come on in

‫[Miles] ‫?Can I explore upstairs

‫,mom] Go ahead, Moo] ‫.just don't make a mess

‫Oh, looks like ‫.we're the first ones in

‫...Yeah

‫ --They

‫They haven't staged ‫,the house yet

‫but I promise ‫I'll make it a blank slate

‫ --before you move in

‫.if you're interested

‫.That's okay

‫I think we're capable of using ‫.a little imagination

‫Scott] Yeah, this one's] ‫.a master decorator

‫She's probably already ‫.picking out new curtains

‫,The good news is

‫the owners ‫ --are very motivated to sell

‫and you wanted to move in ‫?before the school year, right

‫,Yeah. Well ‫,I'm already working in town

‫so the sooner we can get ‫,Karen and Miles settled down

‫.the better for everyone

‫ --Uh, okay, I am

‫.I am so sorry about this

‫,Okay, as you can see ‫.this is a real chef's kitchen

‫,It's got the granite countertop

‫.and the six -burner stove there

‫.Perfect for big family meals

‫?Is there a chef in the family

‫,Oh, yeah, well

‫Karen's never met a soufflé ‫or a roasted whatever

‫that she didn't have to make ‫.on her own

‫,I do like the stovetop

‫...but these windows

‫...Wow

‫.these windows are stunning

‫Why would anyone block out ‫?all this lovely light

‫.Migraines

‫I think some people ‫.are photo -sensitive

‫.Oh, not me

‫.Oh, Scott

‫Miles could play outside

‫while I'm making dinner ‫.at the same time

‫.I love the sound of that

‫...You know

‫,A couch could go right here

‫a little play area ‫,for Miles over there

‫maybe a cozy reading chair ‫,over here

‫.your flat screen right there

‫.A little love, a little work

‫?You want to do this

‫I don't know why anyone

‫would leave ‫,such a perfect house behind

‫,but they want out

‫.we want in

‫.Maybe it was meant to be

‫.Maybe

‫.So many pillows

‫?Which one's your favorite

‫!Hi

‫[rings doorbell]

‫.I'm Susie ‫.Your neighbor across the street

‫I just saw you drive in

‫and wanted to come say hi

‫and make sure ‫.to give you these

‫.Karen] Go ahead, guys]

‫.Miles] Cool] ‫.Let's go upstairs

‫.Come on in

‫.Oh, wow, that's so great

‫Oh, Miles has been starving

‫for someone his own age ‫.to play with since the move

‫It's so nice ‫.you guys live so close

‫.Oh, wow

‫.You've been busy

‫Everything looks ‫.so fresh and new

‫?Hey, how's it going

‫?Did he go down all right

‫.He missed you at bedtime

‫.Yeah

‫,With these new work hours

‫bedtime's going to be ‫.a little tough

‫.We knew that would be the case

‫,Lucky for you

‫you have ‫.such an amazing wife at home

‫.Scott] That's for sure]

‫.Scott, wait

‫I think someone's watching us ‫.from that balcony

‫.Maybe it's just a shadow

‫,But, honey, come on ‫.let's take this upstairs

‫.Away from the window

‫.Hi - ‫.Hi -

‫woman] You must be] ‫.the new neighbors

‫It's practically ‫.his backyard, too

‫Okay. I'll just text ‫.my daughter, Allie

‫She's at home with him ‫.right now

‫.Okay

‫...Okay

‫...Wow

‫.Oh, my gosh

‫You've gotta give me ‫.your decorator's number

‫.This is gorgeous

‫.Thank you

‫,Actually ‫.I don't have a decorator

‫.It's all me

‫.It's kind of a hobby

‫[text alert chimes] - ‫.Wow -

‫.Oh, that's Allie

‫.He's coming over

‫.Oh, good ‫.He'll be so happy

‫[boys laughing]

‫?They're getting along, huh

‫,I swear, you give a boy a ball ‫.and he's occupied for hours

‫,Allie, who's 12 going on 40

‫has always had a taste ‫.for the finer things

‫,Speaking of which ‫.that is a stunning necklace

‫.Oh, thank you

‫,My husband, Scott ‫.got it for me

‫?Anniversary

‫ --Dan --that's my husband

‫always goes overboard ‫.for our anniversary

‫No, it wasn't ‫.a wedding anniversary

‫.More like a keepsake

‫,Before Miles ‫,we had another baby

‫.a little girl who died

‫.Oh, I'm sorry

‫?Do you want to talk about it

‫.SIDS

‫,Our little girl, Rose

‫was eight weeks old ‫.when she died

‫I remember being so grateful ‫,that I got four hours of sleep

‫but when I went into her room ‫,in the morning

‫.she wasn't breathing

‫...I know I didn't cause it

‫but I can't help thinking...

‫that if I had just did ‫,one thing differently

‫.it would have made a difference

‫.I'm sorry

‫.No

‫I didn't mean ‫.to dump this on you

‫.It's been seven years

‫You wouldn't think ‫...I would be so

‫.this

‫...But Scott got me this because

‫we feel like ‫.she's always with us

‫You just don't know ‫.how much that means to me

‫...We also

‫.had a daughter, Annabelle

‫.Five weeks. SIDS

‫.Oh, my God

‫.Lisa, I'm so sorry

‫.It's okay

‫,It's like you said ‫.you're fine

‫But you still really wonder

‫,about, like ‫.what could have been

‫.Yeah

‫I can't believe ‫.we both went through this

‫,I've always felt so alone

‫...but

‫.here you are

‫.Right in your backyard

‫.Literally

‫.Yeah

‫I can't believe ‫.school starts on Monday

‫I don't know if I'm ready

‫for Miles to be gone ‫.all day

‫!Mom, I'm going

‫Please come over ‫.and say hi first

‫.Teenagers

‫Susie] Karen, thank you] ‫.so much for hosting

‫?Can I have some money

‫...Oh

‫.Yes

‫?And you took out the trash

‫.I will when I get back

‫Okay, but that trash ‫.better go out tonight

‫You know, if you want to earn ‫,some money after school, Allie

‫,and if it's okay with your mom

‫I could use someone ‫.to keep an eye on Miles

‫,Just a few extra hours a week

‫but it could keep ‫.some cash in your pocket

‫.Okay ‫.Thanks, Mrs. Morgan

‫.Of course

‫.Bye, honey

‫I'm sorry. I hope ‫.I wasn't interfering there

‫.Oh, not at all

‫.It will be so good for her

‫What do you say

‫to a little back -to -school ‫?shopping for moms

‫You think Allie's around ‫?to babysit this weekend

‫!Yeah - ‫.Cheers to that -

‫...Susie

‫would it kill you ‫?to show a little skin

‫.That blouse is something, Lisa

‫.Your husband better be careful - ‫?It's not bad, right -

‫[gasps]

‫something cute ‫.to make with that needle

‫I am so excited for you guys ‫.to try Dan's ribs

‫.They are a family recipe

‫.Secret" recipe"

‫about maybe I'll go back to work ‫,now that Elliot's older

‫.and he suggested real estate

‫.That's great

‫Maybe you guys ‫.can work together

‫.That would be great

‫,Karen ‫,with your eye for staging

‫you are going to be selling ‫.houses left, right and center

‫I think I like that part ‫.just as much as selling

‫,Well, thanks to you

‫I can attest to the power ‫.of the right throw pillow

‫,You know, Karen ‫you really have to come over

‫.and help me decorate

‫Or maybe you'll be ‫.too busy now

‫Let's schedule it ‫.for next week, then

‫,You know ‫.before it gets too busy

‫...And then, speaking of which

‫[Lisa, in the past] ‫.that is a stunning necklace...

‫I'm really happy

‫that you and Lisa have struck up ‫.such a friendship

‫,It's hard on Lisa sometimes ‫.connecting with other moms

‫?You mean, after Annabelle

‫?Annabelle

‫...Your baby

‫...Like Scott and I

‫?The angel wing necklace

‫...Oh

‫.I'm sorry ‫.You must have misunderstood

‫My brother and his wife ‫,lost a baby Annabelle to SIDS

‫.not me and Lisa

‫We've only ever had ‫.Allie and Elliot

‫You must have gotten the wires ‫.crossed somewhere there

‫[glass shatters]

‫Scott] Honey, how's your head] ‫?feeling now

‫,The room has stopped spinning ‫.so that's good

‫.Yeah

‫I still can't figure out ‫.where I got it wrong

‫.I know what she told me, Scott

‫.I believe you

‫It's her ‫.that I'm not sure about

‫I mean, she got ‫,the same necklace as me

‫.without even telling me

‫I mean, how did it ‫not even occur to her

‫.that that would hurt me

‫There's something wrong ‫.with this whole thing

‫I have to believe ‫that Lisa has her own reasons

‫.for doing what she did

‫The only thing I can do ‫.is find grace for her

‫Well, you're ‫,a better person than me

‫.and that's why I love you

‫Karen] "The lion roared] ‫".his biggest roar

‫Can you guys show me ‫?your biggest roar

‫!children] Roar]

‫.Scott] Let's go, Moo] ‫.Race you to the car

‫[♪♪♪]

‫.Whitney] Hey]

‫.Nice orchid

‫I know this isn't ‫.the most private space

‫.It's great

‫So when are you writing ‫?the exam

‫.Six weeks

‫.That's perfect -

‫We'll get you out in the field ‫shadowing me

‫and you can do ‫.your coursework here

‫.Whitney, thank you

‫.Don't thank me

‫.Just sell houses for me

‫.On it - ‫!Okay -

‫Karen] I mostly studied]

‫and fielded ‫,a few incoming calls

‫but, Scott, it felt so good ‫.to be back at work

‫.Congratulations, babe

‫I'm really happy ‫.that you're making this happen

‫Jeez, this rain ‫.is really coming down

‫...Oh, no

‫?Scott

‫. Oh, shoot ‫ I can't remember

‫if we brought Miles' rain jacket ‫in from the car

‫.to the school this morning

‫. Sorry about that

‫I hope he made it home okay ‫.with Allie

‫. Yeah, me too

‫?Miles

‫!Allie

‫!Karen

‫.Oh, my God ‫.It's pouring

‫.Get in here

‫?Is Miles here

‫.Yeah. He's right on the couch

‫?Why didn't anyone call me

‫.I'm sorry

‫.Allie was just worried

‫,They got soaked

‫and so I wanted to get him here ‫,and into some dry clothes

‫get him some hot chocolate ‫.so he didn't get a cold

‫?Right

‫.Yeah. He's fine

‫.I mean, he forgot his raincoat - ‫.Hi, Mom -

‫.At school ‫.This is Seattle

‫...Yeah

‫.Hey, Moo

‫.I was worried ‫?How did you get so wet

‫Allie and I ran home ‫,after the bus

‫.but I guess the rain got us

‫.I'm sorry I wasn't there, bud

‫.That's okay -

‫.It was kind of fun

‫Lisa] I mean, he borrowed] ‫,some of Elliot's clothes

‫.but it totally doesn't matter

‫.Give them back whenever

‫Do you want ‫?a hot chocolate, too

‫I can't believe ‫you're really going through

‫with the whole ‫.real estate thing

‫.That is so great

‫.I'm proud of you

‫,It's a little busy

‫but it's good to do something ‫outside of the house

‫that doesn't revolve ‫.around Miles

‫.Yeah

‫,I've got to say

‫Susie and I ‫.miss you on the block

‫Team Mom just isn't the same ‫.without you

‫Actually, maybe you could ‫clear something up for me

‫.in the spirit of Team Mom

‫Do you remember when I told you ‫?about my daughter, Rose

‫...Karen

‫,Dan told me you guys spoke

‫.and I have a confession to make

‫It's been really hard ‫,to keep this a secret

‫.especially from you

‫.I have Parkinson's

‫?Parkinson's

‫.Yeah, they caught it early

‫I was at the hospital today ‫.for more blood work

‫...This is

‫.all my upcoming appointments

‫I just made ‫a little book of them

‫so I can know ‫,where they all are

‫,and I won't forget any of them

‫.and it will be fine

‫?So your baby, Annabelle

‫Not being able ‫to keep your facts straight

‫...is one of the symptoms

‫.which is really embarrassing

‫I am so sorry ‫.if I upset you

‫.I never intended to do that

‫.Lisa, I'm so sorry

‫...Please

‫please let me know if there's ‫.anything I can do to help you

‫.Oh, my gosh

‫?Parkinson's

‫.Wow, that's horrible - ‫?I know, right -

‫.Poor family

‫[Scott scoffs]

‫?What

‫Well, don't get mad at me ‫,for saying this

‫but, you know, isn't it ‫?a little convenient

‫?Why would she lie about that

‫Well, she didn't bring it up

‫until you busted her ‫?on lying about the baby, right

‫...Right

‫but she had a bandage ‫,on her arm

‫and she seemed so busy

‫with all these treatments ‫.coming up

‫,Well, if it is Parkinson's

‫then I feel terrible ‫.for the whole family

‫It does make me feel better

‫about the whole ‫.baby mix -up thing

‫ --Poor thing

‫she must be so confused ‫.all of the time

‫Makes me appreciate ‫.how lucky we are

‫.Yeah

‫!Mommy

‫?Karen] Miles, are you okay]

‫?Scott] What is it]

‫!Karen] Scott]

‫.Scott] Oh, my God]

‫What the hell ‫?was someone doing

‫Karen] I can't believe] ‫.someone would do this

‫.Scott] It's only our yard]

‫.This feels personal

‫?Susie] So, what happened]

‫.I wish I knew

‫Police think it could have been ‫.teenagers having fun

‫They said crimes like this ‫in suburbs

‫.are usually random

‫Gosh, I hope they find ‫.who did it

‫.Me too -

‫The whole thing ‫.makes my stomach turn

‫,Speaking of -

‫did you hear about ‫?Lisa's illness

‫.Parkinson's

‫.I was so shocked

‫Maybe we should start ‫ --a meal train

‫?Wait. Parkinson's

‫.Lisa told me that it was Lupus

‫.Okay, now I'm confused

‫I thought we could use ‫.the living room more

‫?What's wrong

‫.It's Lisa

‫?Why am I not surprised

‫.She told Susie she has Lupus

‫I thought you said ‫?she has Parkinson's

‫Because that's ‫.what she told me

‫I don't know ‫.what to believe anymore

‫.I thought it sounded suspect

‫I was willing to give her ‫.the benefit of the doubt

‫I don't even want to be ‫.in our kitchen anymore

‫I feel like she watches us ‫.through those windows

‫Did I ever tell you ‫?about Seth Spellman

‫He was my roommate ‫.freshman year in college

‫.He was a nice guy

‫.We got along ‫.He was funny, charismatic

‫.Had a story for everything

‫,It took me a while

‫,but, eventually

‫I realized he was ‫.a compulsive liar

‫.He couldn't help it

‫,I would say one thing

‫ --he would have to top it ‫.every time

‫?What did you do

‫Well, I tried confronting him ‫,about it once

‫,but he just blew up at me

‫.and then the lying didn't stop

‫So I realized ‫.he wasn't going to change

‫I just gave him a lot of space

‫and didn't take anything ‫.he said as truth

‫But it's more than that ‫.with Lisa

‫There's something ‫.I'm not getting

‫Hey, I'm going to go ‫,watch TV in our family room

‫because one neighbor ‫.is not going to ruin our night

‫.Join me

‫.You're right

‫.I'm going to give her space

‫.Two -minute warning, Miles

‫Miles, this is ‫.your lunch from yesterday

‫?Why didn't you eat it

‫.I don't know -

‫?Weren't you hungry

‫,All right, well, today

‫I'm giving you ‫turkey and avocado pinwheels

‫.and carrots and dip

‫I want you to eat it

‫,so you don't feel hungry later ‫?all right

‫.Okay, Mommy - ‫.Karen] Okay] -

‫,I finished my lunch ‫.just so you know

‫Oh, well, aren't you ‫?a good boy

‫.Karen] Bye, buddy] ‫.Have a good day

‫.Miles] Bye, Mommy]

‫Okay, I hope you're ready ‫.to get busy

‫Here's a few inquiries ‫.you can follow up on

‫.I'm excited to dive in

‫.After lunch

‫,I'm starving

‫and I cannot have ‫.another sad desk salad

‫.Grab your coat

‫.After you

‫.All right

‫?Wait, the same dress

‫?Who does that

‫.I know

‫And I thought it was ‫.just a coincidence

‫,Oh, no, no ‫.that's not a coincidence

‫This one is ‫.a verified piece of work

‫Did the people ‫selling the house

‫?ever mention anything

‫?The Raffertys

‫I wish could say ‫,they had given us warning

‫but they did everything ‫.through a broker

‫[cell phone rings]

‫Tell me about

‫some great date night spots ‫.in Seattle

‫Scott and I have hardly ‫.seen the city together

‫Well, that depends ‫.what you consider a date night

‫[cell phone rings]

‫I would say ‫...sushi on the waterfront

‫[ [line rings

‫!children] Trick or treat]

‫,Miles, come on

‫you've got to put on ‫.your jacket

‫.It covers my costume

‫,Karen] I know]

‫but I don't want you ‫.getting sick

‫.Come on

‫.Thank you

‫!Hey

‫?Is Lisa not coming

‫.She asked me to watch Elliot

‫I think Allie needed help

‫getting ready ‫.for a party or something

‫Well, Scott's ‫,in his happy place

‫,handing out candy

‫so should we hit up ‫?the first house, boys

‫.Let's go - ‫.Let's do it. This way -

‫.Across the street ‫.Go, go, go, go, go

‫[ [creepy laughter

‫ --Happy Halloween

‫.Lisa

‫?Are the boys here

‫.Uh, no. No

‫.They're with Karen and Susie

‫Do you mind if I come in ‫?and use your washroom

‫.No, sure, yeah ‫.Come on in

‫.Thanks

‫[door opens]

‫.Thank you

‫Oh, what kind of candy ‫?do you guys have

‫.Full -size candy bars

‫Why is there always one house ‫with the full -size candy bars

‫that makes ‫everybody else's candy

‫?look small, huh

‫You know, I bet Karen and Susie ‫aren't that far along

‫if you wanted ‫.to catch up to them

‫ [creepy laughter ‫[ doorbell sounds

‫!Happy Halloween

‫!Oh, my gosh, how cute

‫Look, a little gumball machine ‫ --and a little

‫.Okay, here you go

‫.Trick or treat

‫I've always wondered ‫what it is about Dracula's kiss

‫.that makes everybody so crazy

‫,Historically

‫Dracula's kiss is equated ‫,with the kiss of death

‫so maybe you don't want ‫.to find out

‫.I should go find Elliot

‫.That's a good idea

‫.All right, here we go

‫I mean, that is the school zone ‫?that you want to be in, right

‫.It's perfect for the kids

‫.Come on in

‫,Have a seat

‫and Karen here

‫is going to help you ‫.get your offer in order

‫.All right - ‫?Okay -

‫.Karen] Please, take a seat]

‫...Okay

‫.I'll walk you through this

‫.It's fairly simple

‫Congratulations ‫.on your new home

‫.No, thank you

‫!Lisa

‫Scott should have ‫.been home by now

‫,I'm sorry, Allie ‫.to keep you so late

‫?Is everything okay

‫.Lisa] Oh, totally]

‫Allie just said ‫,that Miles was ravenous

‫so I brought over ‫.some extra mac and cheese

‫Oh, that's so nice ‫.and thoughtful of you

‫Miles, did you eat ‫?your lunch today, hon

‫,Well, Allie ‫,it's getting late

‫and I'm sure ‫.you have homework to do

‫.Thank you

‫And, Lisa, thank you again ‫.for bringing food for the boys

‫I'll pick up a couple ‫of extra boxes of mac and cheese

‫for you when I'm at the store ‫.this week

‫.Lisa] No problem]

‫.Thanks, Mrs. Morgan

‫.See you next week

‫.Bye

‫...Um

‫?can we talk

‫.Yeah. Yeah

‫.I'm sorry

‫ --If this is about Allie

‫.Scott should have been here - ‫.It's not about Allie -

‫.It's about Dan

‫He lost his job ‫.and I don't know what to do

‫...Oh

‫.I'm so sorry

‫I'm sure ‫.he'll find something soon

‫It's been over a month ‫.and he hasn't

‫And my medical bills

‫are starting ‫,to eat into our savings

‫and I was wondering

‫if there's any way

‫that Dan and I ‫?could borrow $5000.00

‫And we'll pay you back

‫as soon as we get back ‫,on our feet

‫.and you know we're good for it

‫ --Lisa, I am

‫,I'm so sorry about Dan's job

‫,and your medical bills

‫...but

‫I was taught never to mix ‫.money and friendships

‫.I know you have it ‫.I've seen how you spend money

‫,Frankly, Lisa

‫how I spend my money ‫.is none of your business

‫,And beyond that

‫how do I know ‫,that Dan really lost his job

‫or what medical bills ‫?you're paying for exactly

‫Do you have any idea ‫how hard it was

‫for me to come here ‫?and ask you that

‫?Little Miss Perfect Everything

‫I was going to talk to Scott ‫,about it on Halloween

‫but it was pretty clear ‫.his mind was elsewhere

‫And what's that ‫?supposed to mean

‫,What it means is

‫I'm used to men ‫,and their wandering eyes

‫but I thought at least ‫.a woman would hear me out

‫.Okay, I think we're done here

‫.Agreed

‫.Elliot, come on, we're going

‫Karen] Still good for me] ‫?to read to them tomorrow

‫,Mrs. Morgan

‫I'm afraid there's been

‫a few calls about you ‫.in our office

‫A concerned parent is saying

‫that Miles ‫.is being neglected at home

‫?What

‫?Who called ‫.That's ridiculous

‫,As ridiculous as it may seem

‫you understand we have to take ‫.every call seriously

‫,I understand that ‫?but neglected

‫Who would actually call ‫?and say that

‫.I'm not at liberty to say

‫But what I can tell you

‫is that they say

‫that he doesn't have ‫,warm enough clothes

‫.and that he always goes hungry

‫How would this person ‫?even know this

‫.I feed my son

‫.You've seen his lunch bag

‫...I'm sorry

‫but until this issue ‫,is resolved

‫I can't have you volunteer ‫.in the classroom

‫?And how do we resolve this

‫Well, we have a meeting

‫with Principal Franklin ‫.tomorrow at 9:00

‫,And from there

‫we'll decide

‫if Social Services ‫.needs to be called

‫?Social Services

‫You're going ‫to drop this on me

‫and then make me wait ‫?24 hours

‫.This is absolutely insane

‫.Sorry

‫?Karen? What's wrong

‫Someone made a call ‫.about Miles

‫They think we're actually ‫.neglecting our son

‫?What

‫?Who called

‫.They won't tell me who ‫.Someone called the school

‫Now they won't even ‫.let me volunteer

‫They're taking this ‫.seriously, Scott

‫They think we're actually ‫.neglecting our son

‫.Okay, okay

‫?We'll figure this out, okay

‫.Miles's file is flagged

‫,Whatever happens now

‫everything that happens ‫,at that school

‫,every stomach ache ‫,every skinned knee

‫everything will be ‫.scrutinized differently

‫I can't believe someone thinks ‫.we actually don't feed our son

‫.Hey, that's just ridiculous

‫.Okay, they know you, Karen ‫.They know our family

‫.We're new to town, Scott ‫.They don't really know us

‫We have to meet ‫,with the principal tomorrow

‫,and from there

‫she'll decide whether or not ‫.to call Social Services

‫.Okay, well, that's something

‫Okay? We'll show them ‫a unified front

‫and that ‫.we're not neglecting Miles

‫Okay, we can resolve ‫this whole thing

‫.in one simple meeting

‫.We got this, honey

‫[♪♪♪]

‫.Susie, hi ‫.I'm glad I caught you

‫?What's up

‫.The strangest thing happened

‫Someone called Miles's school

‫and said that ‫.we're neglecting him

‫.You? That's crazy

‫?I know, right

‫.You know us pretty well

‫ --You don't think we could

‫,Karen, my goodness

‫you're the most thoughtful ‫.human being I've ever met

‫I can't imagine ‫.anyone saying that about you

‫?Anyone

‫?Not even Lisa

‫.Not even Lisa

‫?Susie

‫I know you don't want ‫,to talk badly about anyone

‫but the school might call ‫Social Services

‫.because of this person now

‫.They could take my son

‫.I need to know what she said

‫I don't know ‫?that Lisa made that call, okay

‫I can't imagine her ‫.doing such a thing

‫But she did say

‫that Miles was eating ‫,Elliot's lunch at school

‫and that ‫,you've been working so much

‫.she was worried about Miles

‫.That's all I know

‫.Thank you, Susie ‫.I appreciate it

‫.Of course

‫.Okay

‫.Bye

‫,Mrs. Morgan

‫your care for your child

‫is quite evident ‫.to us at Dorothy Peacock

‫But you have to understand

‫we have to take any and all ‫concerning accusations

‫like the call about Miles ‫.seriously

‫?It was Lisa Beasley, wasn't it

‫Can we at least ‫?be honest about that

‫ --Mrs. Morgan, we can't reveal

‫Regardless of the call

‫and who may ‫,or may not have made it

‫?what do we do next

‫.We love our son ‫.That's the bottom line here

‫[teacher] ‫.And I can see that in class

‫We love having Mrs. Morgan ‫,read to the kids

‫.and they really love it, too

‫,Well, at this point

‫I don't see enough evidence

‫to warrant us ‫,calling Social Services

‫but that doesn't mean

‫that the person ‫.who called us won't

‫?She can do that

‫Anyone can do it

‫if they deem it necessary

‫and in the child's ‫.best interest

‫...Oh

‫So you're saying that

‫Social Services could show up ‫?at our house at any time

‫What if they don't like ‫?what they see

‫,If they don't approve

‫.then they could take Miles away

‫,Now, usually

‫in cases between ‫,disagreements with parents

‫I would encourage you

‫to contact the person

‫who you think ‫.is behind these calls

‫And if these calls ‫,are just threats

‫maybe you can figure out ‫.why she's doing this

‫That's what ‫.I've been trying to do

‫Scott] I think] ‫.we can take it from here

‫.Thank you, Principal Franklin

‫?And the reading

‫.It's not a good idea right now

‫.Maybe in the new year

‫I don't understand

‫how one person can do ‫.so much damage

‫I have to get ‫.to my 10:00 meeting

‫?You'll be okay today

‫I think I'm going ‫.to work from home today

‫Well, hey, they're not calling ‫.Social Services

‫.That's good news

‫But I'll always wonder ‫.if she will

‫?She won't, okay

‫Lisa Beasley's ‫.just looking for attention

‫Scott, you have not seen her ‫.like I have

‫,Okay, look ‫,I have to get going

‫.but I'll try to be home early

‫.Okay - ‫.Okay -

‫[car engine starts]

‫.Oh, hell, no

‫.Get out of the car, Lisa

‫.Karen, you seem upset

‫.I am not upset ‫.I am livid

‫.I know you made that call

‫I thought you didn't have ‫,any money, Lisa

‫but you went out ‫.and you got my car

‫!Tell the truth

‫?What is your problem with me

‫.You're scaring the kids

‫!Leave my family alone - ‫.Karen, let's go -

‫.Let's talk

‫That's not ‫.a great look on you, hon

‫Let's take ‫?a little time -out, huh

‫I shouldn't have ‫,yelled like that

‫.but she threatened my family

‫?That was pretty bad, huh

‫.Well, it wasn't great

‫,But, bitch stole your look ‫.I'd get mad, too

‫I've just never had anything ‫.like this happen before

‫?Karen] Alan Levine, Attorney]

‫.Michelle] Alan's my guy]

‫I have his office

‫run background checks ‫,on all my employees

‫.anyone babysitting the kids

‫.Can't be too careful these days

‫If I could just find out ‫,why Lisa is so set against me

‫I'm sure ‫.we could just talk it out

‫.Michelle] You could do that]

‫.Then call Alan

‫[children singing] ‫♪ Jingle belles, jingle bells♪

‫♪ Jingle all the way♪

‫♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride ‫in a one -horse, open sleigh♪

‫!♪ Hey♪

‫♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells♪

‫♪ Jingle all the way♪

‫♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride ‫in a one -horse, open sleigh♪

‫!♪ Hey♪

‫♪ In a one -horse, open sleigh♪

‫♪ Jingle all the way♪

‫I thought you wanted ‫.to talk to a few people

‫.I just want to go home

‫!I wanna stay

‫?Please, get in the car, okay

‫Hey, we'll get you ‫something yummy

‫,when we get home ‫?okay, buddy

‫.Hop in there

‫?And buckle up, okay

‫.Okay

‫?Hey, what's going on

‫.I messed up today

‫,Lisa got the same car as us

‫and I yelled at her ‫.in the parking lot

‫.Oh, God

‫.That's the last thing we need

‫.I know

‫,I said I messed up ‫?all right

‫.She gets under your skin

‫.You can't let that happen

‫She said you were ogling her ‫.on Halloween

‫?Is that true

‫?Ogling? What

‫.Come on, Karen ‫.Have a little faith

‫.Of course not

‫,She was being flirty

‫,and, honestly ‫.it was sad

‫.You're right ‫.I'm sorry

‫I just feel like

‫this woman has something new ‫.planned for us every day

‫.It's exhausting

‫And that's why we have to be ‫,a good team

‫.and not turn on each other

‫,And, you know

‫maybe don't yell at her ‫.in public

‫?Scott] What now]

‫[Karen] ‫.You've got to be kidding me

‫?Are you Mr. and Mrs. Morgan

‫.Yeah ‫?How can we help you

‫We have a restraining order ‫.filed against Karen Morgan

‫If you step within 100 feet

‫of Mrs. Lisa Beasley ‫,or her property

‫a warrant for your arrest ‫.will be issued

‫That means ‫.I can't go in my backyard

‫If Mrs. Beasley ‫,is within a hundred feet

‫.then, no, you can't

‫.five -minute warning

‫Come on down ‫.and have some breakfast

‫.Lisa] I'll take him today]

‫Lisa? I didn't hear you ‫.come in

‫?Lisa] You ready to go, Moo]

‫.Karen] Lisa, this isn't funny]

‫.I'm taking my son to school

‫.Don't worry, Team Mom

‫.I got him

‫Karen] Miles, come back here] ‫.right now

‫?Can you hear me

‫!Moo

‫?Miles! Can you hear me

‫!Miles

‫...Hey

‫.everything's okay

‫...Is Miles

‫I've already ‫.taken him to school

‫.He's fine

‫.I thought you should sleep

‫.Here, you're gonna need that

‫We have to see ‫.that attorney today

‫[Karen] ‫.Thank you for seeing us

‫?What can I do for you

‫I don't know ‫.what we need, exactly

‫I'm having trouble ‫.with a neighbor

‫.So it seems

‫This all stems from you ‫?attacking her in her car

‫?Is this true

‫,I yelled at her, yes

‫.but I never put a hand on her

‫This woman has systematically ‫,been copying me

‫,and, frankly ‫.it's making me crazy

‫I never would yell ‫.at someone like that

‫It's like she's trying ‫.to push me over the edge

‫This contains ‫a no trespass order

‫.for the entire Morgan family

‫?You have one son

‫.Yes, Miles

‫The Beasley daughter ‫.sometimes babysits him

‫.Oh, no, I'd cut that out today

‫Yeah, no one in your family

‫is supposed to set foot ‫.on the Beasley property

‫,Karen, you specifically

‫can't be within a hundred feet ‫,of Mrs. Beasley

‫.no matter where you are

‫?Scott] Well, what can we do]

‫Can we file ‫?our own restraining order

‫I mean, this woman ‫.has been harassing my wife

‫She threatened to call ‫.Social Services about our son

‫Is there a reason ‫?to call Social Services

‫.Of course not

‫,Okay, well

‫it appears that you have won ‫.the annoying neighbor lottery

‫So, yes, you could file ‫.a restraining order against her

‫It creates a paper trail ‫,of mutual disagreement

‫...but

‫.look, I want to be honest

‫.It's not going to change much

‫Even after ‫ --everything she's done

‫?the harassment

‫I mean, Lisa got ‫.the same car as us

‫,She even has the same clothes ‫.the same jewelry as me

‫,Yeah, it's creepy, for sure ‫.but it's not illegal

‫?So there's nothing we can do

‫What I suggest ‫,is you abide by the order

‫.and you just go about your life

‫,Now, in the background ‫,I'll look into this

‫and I'll get a sense ‫.of what we're up against

‫You could start a log

‫with any other off -color ‫.activities on her part

‫.I can do that - ‫.Good -

‫And if this woman ‫,wants to escalate things

‫.we'll be ready

‫.Hey, Mrs. Morgan

‫Did you still want me ‫?to babysit today

‫That won't be ‫.necessary, thanks

‫I think it's best

‫if I stay home with Miles ‫.for now

‫?So next week

‫.I'm sorry, hon

‫I think we're just gonna put ‫babysitting on pause

‫.for a little while

‫[bus approaching]

‫.Hey

‫,Come on, Moo ‫.let's get you out of the cold

‫?Can I go on my scooter

‫.I'm sorry, hon ‫.We can't today

‫?Why not

‫I want to play ‫.with Elliot and Finn

‫.I'm sorry, I said we can't

‫?Miles] But why]

‫.Because I said so

‫?Hello

‫.Daddy's home

‫I'm glad you came home ‫.so early

‫I said that my wife ‫was cooking up something special

‫.and I needed to be home

‫Any chance you're cooking up ‫?something special

‫?How does pasta sound

‫.Special

‫?How you doing

‫...You look

‫.tired

‫.I'm hanging in there

‫?Miles, what are you doing ‫.Come on over

‫.Coming

‫[door closes]

‫?Miles

‫!Miles

‫!Miles ‫!Miles, stop

‫.Sorry, Mommy - ‫.It's okay -

‫We can't live ‫.like this anymore

‫Let me see

‫if I can't handle this ‫.once and for all

‫.Come on, let's go inside

‫.Hey, Dan ‫.Thanks for coming

‫?What are you drinking

‫.Nothing ‫.I can't stay long

‫...Oh, well

‫I was thinking ‫we could talk about our wives

‫.and this whole mess

‫,Your wife came at mine ‫.with my kids in the car

‫.Not much else to say

‫,You're right

‫there isn't ‫anything else to say

‫except that we both ‫.want this to stop

‫?Don't you

‫.Look, I know my Lisa

‫Her problem is

‫she just wants to be ‫,friends with everyone

‫.but some women can't handle her

‫,She can be intimidating ‫.looking like that

‫?Looking like what

‫,I'm proud to say it ‫.my wife is hot

‫.Other women are jealous of her

‫So you think that ‫Karen is jealous of Lisa

‫?and that's why they're arguing

‫.Wouldn't be the first time

‫How many times has this ‫?happened to Lisa, exactly

‫,You know ‫.maybe I will have a beer

‫?Hey, bud, can I get a beer

‫?How many times, Dan

‫It's been happening ‫,her whole life practically

‫since she was a cheerleader ‫.in high school

‫Well, Karen was literally ‫,the Homecoming Queen

‫so if you think this is ‫,about a beauty contest

‫.I think Karen can hold her own

‫?So what are you saying

‫You're saying that ‫?Lisa brought this on herself

‫That Lisa made Karen yell at her ‫?in front of our kids

‫No, I'm saying ‫,that she's lying

‫and she's been lying ‫.since we moved in

‫.Look, we're both married men

‫We know what our wives tell us ‫.and what's true

‫.This isn't about looks

‫Karen and I have been together ‫.for 17 years

‫She's a level -headed ‫.and honest woman

‫Can you really say ‫?the same about Lisa

‫[footsteps approaching]

‫[door opens]

‫.You're home late

‫.It's 9:30

‫?Well

‫He says ‫.Karen didn't do anything

‫.Well, that's a big surprise

‫.He says you're lying

‫Well, I hope ‫.you stuck up for your wife

‫He also asked me

‫how many times ‫.this has happened before

‫Dan, I hope you know ‫that anything you say

‫they're going to try ‫.to use against me

‫I hope you didn't say ‫.anything stupid

‫...Of course, I didn't

‫...but

‫?Dan

‫,Well, honey ‫,it got me thinking

‫this kind of thing ‫.does happen to you a lot

‫I mean, the people ‫that lived in the house

‫.before Karen and Scott

‫...And before that

‫?So you believe her over me

‫?What

‫...Yeah

‫You believe some psychotic bitch ‫?over your own wife

‫.I'm sorry, I'm sorry

‫.I'm sorry

‫...No. No

‫.You want her more than me

‫...No - ‫.Yes -

‫You're going ‫.to leave me for her

‫.I didn't say that

‫!Dan, don't leave me

‫.Don't leave me ‫.Dan, don't leave me

‫...Please

‫.Look at me ‫.Look at me

‫.I can't

‫.Look at me

‫.I love you

‫.I believe you - ‫.Okay -

‫.I always believe you

‫.I'm sorry

‫,Sweetheart ‫.let's just get you to bed

‫?Okay - ‫.Mm -hmm -

‫.I love you - ‫.I know, I love you, too -

‫.I'm sorry

‫[knocking on door]

‫[knocking louder on door]

‫!Good morning

‫?What am I looking at

‫.Lisa's garage

‫?You think I did that

‫I was in bed ‫sleeping with my husband

‫.last night

‫Right, she said that ‫.you would probably say that

‫Look, I don't want to get ‫,in the middle of this

‫but maybe it's time ‫.to let it go, Karen

‫I have never spraypainted ‫.anything in my life

‫.You have to believe me

‫Lisa probably did this ‫.to herself

‫I have a hard time ‫.believing that

‫.Maybe you should apologize

‫!I didn't do anything

‫Karen] And you'll do]

‫the whole ‫?back of the house, too

‫We do ‫.the whole perimeter, Ma'am

‫?Would you like a cup of coffee

‫.That'd be great, thanks

‫.You got it

‫?Going all right out there

‫.Karen] Yep]

‫I just feel better knowing ‫.what's going on around us

‫.Here you go

‫.Thanks, that definitely helps

‫.Morning

‫?Is everything okay

‫?I thought we were all done

‫Oh no, I just wanted ‫.to thank you for your referral

‫?Excuse me

‫.Your neighbor behind you

‫She said ‫you were telling everyone

‫,how much you loved the service

‫.and she wanted the same package

‫.Of course she did

‫.Thanks

‫.Nice job this week

‫A little commission check ‫.for you

‫.Nice job on that Craftsman

‫.Charm always sells

‫I hope you treat yourself

‫to something nice ‫.with that check

‫.You deserve it

‫,Right now

‫the only thing I can think of ‫.is a cheeseburger

‫.I forgot lunch

‫Maybe I'll pick up dinner ‫.for my boys

‫.Thank you

‫.Careful with that

‫[brakes screech]

‫.Oh, my God

‫!Lisa] Oh, God]

‫!Lisa! Oh, my God ‫Are you okay

‫!Karen, please don't hurt me

‫!Please

‫.Karen] Let me see your foot] ‫.It looks okay

‫You want to try ‫?and stand up

‫!Lisa] I'm not okay]

‫You tried to run me over ‫!with your car

‫!Allie, please call 911

‫.No, no, no ‫.Don't call the police

‫.Nothing happened

‫[Lisa] ‫!Allie! Give me the phone

‫The police are going to find out ‫.what you just tried to do to me

‫.Hello? Hi

‫.Oh, my God - ‫.I need to report an assault -

‫.Please help me

‫.Oh, my God

‫.I'm glad you're here

‫.We want to get this sorted out

‫?May we come in

‫.Yeah. Please

‫Ma'am, you are ‫?Mrs. Karen Morgan

‫.Yes

‫And were you driving ‫a silver Mercedes sedan

‫?this evening on Crockett Court

‫.Yes

‫?Have you been drinking

‫Have you been doing ‫?any illegal substances

‫?Karen] What]

‫.No

‫I have a warrant ‫.for your arrest

‫I need you to turn around

‫and put your hands ‫.behind your back

‫?What

‫.Karen] I didn't do anything]

‫You have the right ‫.to remain silent

‫.Scott] This is ridiculous]

‫Anything you say can ‫.and will be used against you

‫!Karen] Scott]

‫.She did this to me

‫.Scott] She didn't do anything]

‫.You can't do this

‫You're arresting ‫.the wrong person

‫!Hey

‫.Karen! I'll call the lawyer

‫We'll get you out ‫.as soon as we can

‫.I'll see you at the station

‫.Honey, it's going to be okay

‫[door unlock buzzing]

‫Did you really ‫?have to bring him

‫I didn't have time ‫.to find a babysitter

‫?How bad is it

‫Well, she's claiming ‫.you tried to run her down

‫Prosecutor's going for ‫.attempted murder

‫.This whole thing is so insane

‫...I didn't

‫?What does that mean for me

‫,Worst case ‫.possibly 10 years in prison

‫.There were witnesses

‫Susie, I saw her watching ‫.from across the street

‫.I saw her

‫.She will testify

‫...I spoke with her

‫.She won't testify

‫[cell phone rings]

‫.Sorry

‫.This is Alan

‫!Susie

‫.I need to talk to you

‫.She's not home, Karen

‫Drea, her car ‫.is in the driveway

‫.She doesn't want to talk

‫.I'm sorry

‫?What are you sorry for

‫Sorry Susie won't talk to me

‫or sorry she won't testify ‫.that Lisa is a crazy bitch

‫.Come on, Drea, we all know it

‫.I could go to jail for years

‫.I know Susie saw what happened

‫.She can help me

‫.I see you in there, Susie

‫The least you can do ‫.is talk to me

‫.I'm sorry, Karen ‫.I can't get involved

‫.Ten years, Susie

‫That's how long

‫Lisa's manipulation ‫.could send me to jail for

‫I would miss ‫.Miles's entire childhood

‫I just need you ‫.to tell the truth

‫I see ‫.what this has done to you

‫.What she's done to you

‫.I don't want to be next

‫.I have to protect my family

‫Who says ‫?you're not next anyways

‫.Scott] He wet the bed]

‫I'm just letting him watch ‫some TV in our room

‫.while I change the sheets

‫He hasn't done that ‫.in over two years

‫.The poor thing ‫.He must be so confused

‫.Let me help you

‫?Hey, how was Susie's ‫?Can she help us

‫.I think I was wrong about her

‫?She didn't see anything

‫.About being my friend

‫.I'll check on Miles

‫.These make a lot more sense now

‫.Hi, Miles Moo

‫Can Mommy come snuggle ‫?with you for a bit

‫I know it's a lot ‫.that's been going on

‫Is there anything ‫?you want to ask me

‫?Why is Mrs. Beasley mad at you

‫Because she thinks ‫,Mommy tried to hurt her

‫but you know I would never do ‫?anything to hurt anyone, right

‫?Is she going to be okay

‫Mrs. Beasley's body ‫.is going to be just fine

‫.It's her mind that needs help

‫But that's nothing ‫?you need to worry about, okay

‫.Let's try your bed

‫I'm sure Daddy ‫.fixed it up really nice

‫.Goodnight, baby

‫[♪♪♪]

‫[♪♪♪]

‫.Oh, my God

‫It's a psychological condition ‫."called "False Victim Syndrome

‫.Listen to this

‫,When presented with the facts"

‫the False Victim Syndrome ‫stalker

‫will rationalize and manipulate ‫everything he can

‫and ignore ‫even a direct question

‫in order to preserve his fantasy ‫.of being a victim

‫He will initiate conflicts

‫and proceed to twist them ‫in his favor

‫in an attempt to gain ‫".positive attention for himself

‫!"This is Lisa to a "T

‫Wow, there's actually ‫.a name for this

‫And she's definitely ‫,done it before

‫.Dan said so himself

‫Okay, well, if there's ‫,a history to this behavior

‫.I'll look into it

‫ --The Raffertys

‫the people who lived ‫.in the house before us

‫She must have ‫.gotten to them, too

‫.Okay

‫This False Victim Syndrome

‫is very difficult ‫,to prove in court

‫but if we can establish ‫,a pattern of her history

‫then we can get out of

‫this she said/she said ‫.stagnation

‫?We can beat this, right

‫.Well, I never give guarantees

‫But this woman ‫.is clearly insane

‫Then I'll make sure ‫.the jury sees that

‫Was it me

‫or did he not seem ‫?that confident

‫I just think lawyers ‫.are hesitant to make promises

‫.That's not good enough

‫.I'm going to go to the office

‫I'm going to go see

‫if I can find ‫.where the Raffertys ended up

‫.Maybe they'll testify

‫I can't find ‫.the Rafferty family anywhere

‫There's no listing for them ‫.after our address

‫[Whitney] ‫.Let me call their broker

‫She might know ‫.how to contact them

‫But if you're not finding ‫,their names listed anywhere

‫maybe they didn't want ‫.to be found

‫.I'm starting to understand why

‫I'm not sure ‫how I'm going to get

‫these ghosts ‫.to testify in court

‫.There's one other thing

‫I got another notice ‫.while I was out

‫.Your reviews are in

‫.Somebody doesn't like you

‫.Oh, my gosh

‫?And it's more than one

‫.One star

‫.Two stars

‫I only gave her two stars" ‫".because she's pretty

‫?What the hell

‫It's got your neighbor

‫written all over ‫.each one of those

‫She uses the same words ‫.in multiple reviews

‫.I'm so sorry, Whitney

‫Lisa is trying ‫to dismantle my life

‫.step by step

‫.Hey, don't apologize to me

‫,I've seen you with clients ‫.I know you're good at this

‫,But, given everything at home

‫,and with the trial ‫...and now this

‫I think you need ‫to take a back seat here

‫.until this all dies down

‫I wish it didn't ‫,have to be this way

‫.but I understand

‫Right before

‫we were going to have ‫.a really strong spring

‫.Yeah. I know

‫,Listen, go home

‫,be with your family

‫.show this woman who's boss

‫[♪♪♪]

‫,All right, Mr. Man ‫.time for bed

‫.Scott] I'll take him]

‫.You put your feet up

‫?Mommy, are you not happy

‫I'm always happy ‫.when I'm with you

‫[♪♪♪]

‫.I love you - ‫.Thank you -

‫.Thank you

‫Ladies and gentlemen ‫,of the jury

‫.welcome

‫You are here to determine ‫,whether my client, Karen Morgan

‫,tried to kill the prosecution ‫.Lisa Beasley

‫,Karen says she did not

‫,Lisa says she did

‫so we find ourselves

‫in a she said/she said ‫.situation

‫,Now, during this trial

‫I will not only present evidence

‫,that proves that, in fact

‫,my client did not plan to

‫or even accidentally hurt ‫,Mrs. Beasley

‫I will also show ‫.my client's credibility

‫.Thank you

‫,Well, you heard it

‫my colleague ‫would have you believe

‫that this is a simple case ‫.of she said/she said

‫,I wish it were that easy ‫.I really do

‫,Unfortunately ‫what we have here today

‫is the systematic breaking down

‫and betrayal ‫...of an innocent person

‫...my client, Lisa Beasley...

‫who welcomed... ‫her new neighbors

‫,with open arms

‫introduced them ‫,around the neighborhood

‫whose own daughter

‫has even babysat ‫,for the defendant

‫and who has done nothing

‫but offer her friendship ‫,and trust

‫only to be violated ‫.and attacked by Karen Morgan

‫.Thank you

‫,Alan] In your statement]

‫you swore that you never saw

‫Mrs. Beasley ‫?get hit by your car, correct

‫.That's correct

‫,I had drinks in my car

‫so I was purposely driving ‫,really slowly

‫so there's no way ‫I could have sped up

‫or slammed on my brakes ‫.like she said

‫No further questions ‫.at the moment

‫,Mrs. Morgan

‫there's a pattern ‫of aggressive behavior

‫coming from you ‫,towards my client, Mrs. Beasley

‫?is there not

‫?A pattern

‫ --I don't think

‫Isn't it true ‫you attacked Mrs. Beasley's car

‫in the parking lot ‫,of Dorothy Peacock Elementary

‫with her two ‫,small children inside

‫?isn't that correct

‫Karen] I got mad at Lisa]

‫because she bought ‫,the same car as me

‫.among other things

‫.It happened once

‫Let's talk about ‫.some of those other things

‫Perhaps you're referring

‫to the concerned call

‫that someone made about your son ‫?to his kindergarten

‫Now, you assumed

‫that Mrs. Beasley ‫,placed that call

‫even though that has never ‫?been substantiated

‫?Isn't that correct

‫.No, it's not

‫.The school dismissed that call

‫.Okay

‫ --So, someone ‫ --we don't know who

‫witnessed enough interactions ‫between you and your son

‫to warrant a concerned call ‫?on your behalf

‫And instead of asking ‫,your friendly neighbor for help

‫instead of looking at ‫,your own parenting

‫,you jumped to the conclusion

‫,with no evidence

‫ --that she's what ‫?out to get you

‫?Is that it

‫,Let me be clear

‫.I love my son

‫I always have ‫.his best interests at heart

‫,I did talk to a neighbor

‫ --Susie Marino

‫,Susie Marino, right

‫who isn't here today ‫.to testify on your behalf

‫.That's interesting

‫,No further questions ‫.Your Honor

‫,Alan] Mrs. Beasley]

‫could you please ‫give us a history

‫of your relationship ‫?with Mrs. Morgan

‫...Well, the truth is

‫she's been harassing me ‫.for months

‫,She dresses like me

‫she's isolated me

‫from my friends ‫...in the neighborhood

‫and she practically attacked ‫me and my children

‫.at their school

‫",By "attack

‫you mean that ‫?she banged on your car window

‫.And yelled

‫.Yes. And yelled ‫.That is correct, yes

‫To which ‫.Mrs. Morgan has testified

‫I just want to make sure ‫.that we have the facts straight

‫Maybe you can help me ‫.with one more fact

‫,Do you have Parkinson's

‫like you mentioned ‫?to Mrs. Morgan

‫...Well ‫...The testing

‫,Just a reminder

‫any statement you make

‫about your medical history ‫,in court

‫we can subpoena ‫.your medical records

‫.So let's try that again

‫?Do you have Parkinson's disease

‫.No

‫?Do you have Lupus

‫.No

‫...Gosh

‫Considering this is

‫a she said -she said ‫,type of case

‫that is a handful of lies ‫.right off the bat, Mrs. Beasley

‫.No further questions

‫...Lisa

‫do you consider yourself ‫?a nice neighbor

‫.I do

‫.Tell me why

‫I bought Karen a bottle of wine ‫.when they moved in

‫My husband and I ‫hosted a potluck

‫to commemorate ‫.the first week of school

‫And how would you describe ‫?your friendship with Karen

‫I thought Karen and I

‫were going to be ‫.life -long friends

‫But she thought I called ‫,the school on her

‫and the relationship ‫.soured from there

‫I had to take out ‫a restraining order against her

‫after she got violent with me ‫.with my children in the car

‫I mean, it was ‫.just for our own protection

‫,And that day ‫ --when she was driving

‫I mean, we hadn't been ‫speaking a lot

‫because of ‫,the restraining order

‫but I just never expected ‫...that she would

‫.I'm sorry

‫So, I saw her ‫...at the intersection

‫and she was about ‫,a block and a half away

‫,but she was driving slowly

‫so I thought we had time ‫.to cross the street

‫,So, Allie and I

‫we stepped ‫,into the intersection

‫.and Karen sped up

‫And I was so concerned ‫,with protecting Allie

‫that I didn't even know ‫that I was hit

‫.until seconds afterwards

‫I just can't believe

‫she's saying that ‫.I would do this to myself

‫,I can't exercise

‫I can't go up the stairs ‫.in my own house

‫?Why would I do that to myself

‫?Why, indeed

‫.Thank you

‫,No further questions ‫.Your Honor

‫this has been ‫,difficult for you

‫but can you please tell us

‫what happened ‫?on the 16th of May

‫I was crossing an intersection ‫,with my mom

‫and, suddenly, Mrs. Morgan ‫.hit my mom with her car

‫?Then what happened

‫,My mom's foot was broken

‫.and I was really scared

‫She was screaming at Mrs. Morgan ‫.to stop hurting her

‫.Thank you

‫.No further questions

‫,It must have been very scary ‫.seeing your mom like that

‫Did you go to the hospital ‫?with her afterwards

‫.No

‫Because you were looking after ‫?your little brother

‫Allie, did your mother ‫?go to the hospital

‫Allie, did your mother ‫go to the hospital

‫or see a doctor

‫after she was ‫?supposedly hit by a car

‫.No, she didn't

‫Well, who put that boot ‫?on her foot

‫.My dad

‫Alan] Must be nice] ‫.to have a doctor at home

‫.He's not a doctor

‫.Alan] Right]

‫Maybe you can help me ‫.understand one more thing

‫Where were you and your mother ‫coming from

‫that day you were ‫?crossing the street

‫?Home

‫Oh, so you were ‫?going somewhere

‫.No

‫?Alan] Just out for a walk]

‫Allie, how long

‫were you and your mother ‫waiting on the corner

‫before Mrs. Morgan's car ‫?came along

‫.I guess about 20 minutes

‫.20 minutes ‫.That's a really long time

‫What were you doing ‫?during that time

‫We were having ‫.a mother -daughter conversation

‫.judge] Mrs. Beasley, please]

‫?Alan] Allie]

‫Allie, what were you doing ‫on that corner with your mom

‫?for 20 minutes

‫That's a long time

‫to be standing outside ‫.doing nothing

‫?Allie

‫We were waiting ‫.for Mrs. Morgan

‫?You were waiting

‫?Why

‫We were waiting ‫for Mrs. Morgan's car

‫...so

‫Mama could hurl herself ‫.into it

‫.Thank you for your honesty

‫.No further questions

‫We the jury

‫,find the accused, Karen Morgan

‫not guilty ‫.of the charges against her

‫.judge] You're free to go]

‫.Thank God

‫.It's over

‫.Thank you

‫.Good work

‫Scott] I am so glad] ‫that this is over

‫and that we can finally ‫.put this behind us

‫.Here's to new beginnings

‫[Karen sighs]

‫.I've missed these windows

‫.It's over ‫.We're free

‫[♪♪♪]

‫She's never ‫?going to stop, is she
