How dare you?

It's a felony to open

- Is that why the name?

He never told me.
- Dirty? Filthy?

Yeah, I guess.
- Dirty John.

- Yeah. Hello, hi.

Second time asking for coffee.

Whenever you get a chance.

Um, but it was also about

the other kinds of stuff
he was up to.

You know, the credit cards,
the yard work thing.

♪

- Um, what are you
talking about?

- He had, uh...
[chuckles] God.

He had business cards made up.

Like for roofing, yard work.

Uh, and he'd give them out
to older people

and say he'd throw them
a break on--thank you--

shingling or a chimney rebuild.

Just, uh--
that's enough, thanks.

Give them an advance
for materials.

And then he'd take the money
and not go back.

♪

- And what about
the credit cards?

- Uh, they'd come in the mail
to the house.

All different names.

At first we thought it was
a delivery mistake, but...

It wasn't.

♪

Also, some of the guys saw him

run into the street
at stop signs

and throw himself onto the hood
of a car slowing down.

And tell the driver,
"Give me 300 bucks

and your premium won't go up."

And they did.

- Um...

uh, how was he keeping
all these scams straight

and going to classes too?

- Last semester, second year,
he was definitely gone.

But he might have bailed
before that.

We weren't in the same classes.

Sorry.

♪

- For what?
- I lived with him that year.

And we had good times
or whatever.

But he never talked about
things and I never asked.

I don't know why.

So...

I don't know... why.

There's just...

a blank space
where the story should be.

- Are you okay?

- If I ask you a question,

will you answer me honestly?

- John, I am the most
honest person you know.

- Okay.

Who called
the state Nursing Board?

- I'm not telling you.

Why would I?

- If you won't tell me
who it was,

it means it was you.

- Oh, my God.

This is what you care about.

Not the patients
whose meds you stole?

People relying on you
who you could have killed?

Either because
you're so out of it,

you miss something,

or because their hearts
could have stopped

from the shock.

Do you know we could have lost
the girls over this?

- I have it
on excellent authority

that you're the one who called.

- Well, I didn't.

You really sound like
you're going

off the deep end,
you know that?

- How would you know
what I sound like?

You don't even know who I am.

[sighs]

- Well, if you were me,
what would you do?

Would you leave?

- I'm not you.

- Well... [giggles]
Supposing that you were.

- I can't make
this decision for you.

Only you can.

Because only you will know

if you're really ready
for what might happen

when you do.

- Wait, what, what do you mean,

"what might happen?"

- His plan is ruined.

Whatever it was,
you got the jump on him.

Took him by surprise.

- He's not gonna like that.

- Probably not.

And I don't know if
your daughter told you, but...

two of the restraining orders
against him

were taken out by...

cops.

Irvine PD. Women.

A detective and a uni, I think?

But still.

Active duty cops.

- So it's not dumb
to be scared.

- No.

Or to want to leave.

And if you do leave,

it's good to have a plan.

- What kind of a plan?

- Stay in hotels

or places you've never
stayed before

but not the same place
for too long.

- Oh, we should get
a new car. Right?

- And different clothes.

Ones that blend in more.

- Uh, her clothes do blend in
in Orange County.

It's yours that stand out.

- Snap.

Dye your hair, probably.

- Or wigs.

There are great wigs today.

- When you come
into a crowded place,

really study the room.

Try to notice if someone's
following you.

Make yourself
a difficult target.

in your intestines,
I worry about infection.

Which, we're okay, but we need
to move quickly.

- You'll be going into surgery

hopefully tonight, Mr. Meehan.

- I don't understand.

He was fine and then
he just collapsed.

- Is the surgery now?

Like right goddamn now,
because if it isn't--

- We're giving you 2 milligrams
of Dilaudid.

- I need Dilaudid-HP.
Four milligrams.

- How long have you been
on opioids, Mr. Meehan?

- Deb, this is insane.
Come on.

- Can you tell me, Mrs. Meehan?

- Tell you--
- How long has your husband

been taking opioids,
or which ones?

- Because that's something

to do with
his intestines, or...

- He has a paralytic ileus.

His blood work...

could you help me understand

his history with narcotics?

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

I don't know.

- I'm on a pain management
program.

I injured--fractured
my right ankle.

I also have
a spinal compression.

So ever since,
I've been dealing with

a cervical radiculopathy.

- How did you injure yourself?

- Iraq.

- Well, I'm not sure, uh,
who was helping you here,

but they shouldn't have let
this blockage develop.

- Pretty bad, huh?

But right now my tolerance
is so high.

- I'm giving you 4 milligrams
of Dilaudid-HP

every two hours.

- I, um...

I don't think I'm gonna stay
here for the consult.

- Oh, it's not a problem.

- I don't want them
to have to dumb it down

for John,
and I'm not very good at

thinking about blood, and...

I'm gonna go to the chapel.

And pray.

- Okay.

- I love you.

You'll be just fine.
