Original subtitles

Hello?

Hey girl.

Oh, hey, gretch. How are you?

You sick or something?

No, no, I just.

I didn't look at the caller I.D.

I thought you might be the husband.

You know what? Actually, I'm glad you called.

I need some help with something.

All right.

Which shirt should I wear?

I mean, you'll rock them both.

But how long are you really gonna wear it?

10 minutes? 15, tops?

I mean, that that's a good point.

I mean, the purple one's a little easier to take off, but

The pink one makes him want to take it off that much quicker.

Girl, you got it bad.

I know.

I know.

And I haven't felt this way since, like...

Sophomore year?

Yeah.

Bobby aaronson.

Mm hmm. I gave him full roaming privileges.

Huh. Okay.

I think...

I think I'm going to go with the pink one.

I mean, what's losing a shirt

When you've already lost your heart, right?

(sighs) I...

I think tonight's the night that I'm going to ask him.

I know...

It's only been a couple of weeks, but I mean,

I'm ready.

I already wrote a letter to phil and everything

You're telling your husband?

Maybe.

I don't know.

I just hate sneaking around on him like this, you know?

By the way, he thinks I'm with you tonight, in case he asks.

Just...

You know, if nate says he wants me, I'm

Ready to chuck it all.

Wait. Leave philip? And then what? Get a divorce?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, it's just the way he looks at me.

You know, I. I've never felt this way before.

Never felt so...

Loved.

He's like this hurt little boy,

And I'm the only one that can make it better.

Just ione... Be careful, okay?

Why? You don't think nate means what he says?

I love to hear the fire back in your voice.

I just don't want you to get burned.

This is a lot of stuff at once.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

You know what?

How about this?

Let's see how it goes tonight.

And if it's a no,

Then I'll call you and cry about it until brunch.

And if it's a yes, then I will call you

From whatever island we run off to.

But it might be a few days.

Yeah, sounds good.

I'll let you know. Bye.

- Oh, hi. - Hey, baby.

-Mm hmm. -You know I scare easy.

- I didn't mean to scare you. - You didn't scare me.

You know I can't keep my hands off you.

I like your outfit.

Oh, yeah?

Better to take off.

Upstairs?

Absolutely.

Oh, my friend dropped that off earlier today.

Is this it?

Finally!

Does this have everything I asked for in it?

I don't know. My friend did me a favor.

I didn't really double check her at work.

Uh. Nate...

Sorry, baby.

I get lost sometimes you know.

I have a great pair of eyes you could get lost in.

Hmm. I like that.

You didn't tell her that I asked for it, right?

No, of course not.

I don't want things getting back to my husband.

Good.

Good.

Look.

Nate, I didn't bring it up before, cause, you know...

But I feel like since it's already out there,

We really need to talk about it.

About what?

My husband. Phil.

And, you know...

What's next for us?

- Us? - I mean.

I know this started out just as fun.

I can't see my life without you in it.

I agree.

You do?

Yeah, baby.

Of course.

I want you...

To be right here with me

For the rest of your life.

Really?

Really.

You don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say that.

I want to be with you forever.

You know I love that, baby.

Nate!

The rest of your life.

And really, baby...

Your eyes aren't all that special.

How does this place not creep you out?

You know, it is customary to knock.

Yeah, it's also customary

To pray in churches and not live in them.

Babe, we're here to help.

All right.

Yeah, no. I'm not used to all that yet.

Harriet, I think you should go back

To just being my best friend.

Easier that way.

And besides, I know I'm more fun than my brother.

You know, you're my favorite.

I'm right here.

- I'm still right here. - Yep. Always.

Yeah.

Is that the last of david's junk?

Yeah, I'm trying to decide whether to store it or ship it to him.

Well, how is that a decision?

You ship it.

There's no way I'm letting him back in here.

One: It's a separation, not a divorce.

- And two... Let? - Mags, you are a very smart woman.

But if you let that cheating sob back in your life...

I am suing for control of the company

Because you have clearly lost it.

Oh, well.

He can be a little overconfident.

That's one way of saying incredibly egotistical.

He's just worried about you.

We both are, you know.

How are you?

Oh, good. I guess.

I'm crying a lot less.

And have you talked to him?

No. Both our shrinks and our couple's counselor

Think it's best if we take some space.

And how does that make you feel?

Oh no, are you going to start charging me now too?

Let's talk about something good.

You should see the plans

Michael drew up for your kitchen.

So good.

I can't wait to see!

And don't tell him I said this.

Seriously, don't.

Michael's a better architect

Than dad ever was.

He knows.

Yeah, you're right.

He knows.

Come on. Let's go see.

I mean, this is amazing, but it's elaborate.

Yeah, mags. That's the point.

When you and david approached me

About drawing up these plans.

You wanted a full reno, and he wanted something smaller.

So now that the small man is out of the picture,

How about we do this right?

Is there anybody local

That can even handle something like this?

Yeah.

Local to an old church in the middle of nowhere

That an insane person lives in?

This is not the middle of nowhere.

It's 20 minutes from the office.

Yeah.

I'll check my rolodex.

Rolodex?

No, thank you.

Businessman from the 1970s.

I'll just find someone on plan it.

Mgas, you're not going to find an artist on an app.

No, I love that app.

That's where I found the guy who did my foyer.

He was such an artist too.

He was an artist, too.

Are you sure you're okay?

You know, you can always do dinner at our place.

I'm making pizza tonight.

Well, I'm ordering pizza.

Hold on a second.

You just said our place.

- That official now... Or? - Um.

You didn't tell her?

I told her... I.

I told... I...

Mags, I have some excellent news.

Michael, it's fine.

Seriously... Seriously...

I'm so happy for you guys.

Well, michael, I'm happy for you.

Harriet, you don't know what you've just gotten yourself into.

You're going to be fine, magpie.

Thank you.

Come on. Let's head out.

Hey, mags.

David, what are you doing here?

There's something I've got to tell you.

I am never, ever,

Coming back to you.

Yeah.

The boxes out front addressed to david starling.

No, it's coming from me.

Maggie starl... Maggie anderson.

No, you don't need to check in with me.

Just pick it up and take it away.

Thank you.

Really?

Just following the program.

When it says yoga, I yoga.

Mags, there's more to life than some app.

Not for me. And not right now.

Well, I finished the grady plans.

So when you're done putting them in the pitch deck,

Can you take them down to the safe?

Oh, fantastic.

You're upset that I finished?

Yes, I'm upset.

You do remember that I'm o for lifetime

Getting grady to hire us, right?

Maybe there's an app you can find that'll pitch it for you.

Oh, speaking of,

I'm going to have such a great kitchen!

Bye. Love you.

I love you, too, maggie.

Okay,

Let's see what we've got here.

The first question I like to ask myself is..

What even is a kitchen?

Is it a place we store our food...

Or is it a place we store our memories?

Oh, well, I like to think of a kitchen as a...

Do we like our food hot on one side?

Cold on the other? And where does it meet?

And when we feed ourselves in our kitchen, what are we feeding?

Our stomachs or our souls?

That's actually a really interesting question... I...

To me, the kitchen is the heart of the home.

But as the greeks said, what even is the heart?

How do we locate it?

Is it a platonic ideal of a heart?

Is it a platonic ideal of a kitchen?

Yeah.

We can be done by the 22nd.

I'll have the contracts over to you in the morning.

Okay, that's great.

But do you think there's

Any chance you could be ready any earlier or even the 21st?

Any wiggle room?

I knew you were going to ask that. Um...

- No. - Um.

Alright, so I gave you a quote.

How have you already sent a quote?

You haven't even seen the kitchen yet!

What kitchens? I've seen kitchens.

I've seen kitchens in brooklyn.

Two drawers. Done.

Okay, this is a big kitchen. There's an island.

Oh, yeah. We got two. Long and staten. Ohhhh.

I'd like to... I mean I m in a program right now, I've got to be honest.

So that's... That's not going to happen.

But what I can do...

Is I can give you a discount.

Uh... Okay. M-maybe.

Here's what I tell my pretty clients.

And you are definitely the upper third of that.

That is extremely inappropriate.

And when you've got the answer

To that question, I've got one more question.

What is you?

What is you?

Is you.

Me?

Yep. Mhmm.

What?

No no no. I don't think you understand.

I've been making kitchens for almost 40 years now.

It's not my first rodeo.

You drive a hard bargain. I get it.

15 perc... Quiet!

It's my kid,

My wife.

I don't like to approach contracting

As building things.

I like to approach contracting as experiencing things.

I want you to experience your kitchen.

I will give you a

12 perc... 15... 20... 22.

Just doing the numbers.

There's seven types of kitchens.

You've got island,

Parallel, straight, l-shaped, u-shaped, open and galley.

I can even make you a soup kitchen.

Not with wood and nails,

Not with faucets and sinks,

But with love.

But more importantly, with empathy.

Does that make sense?

Of course it does.

20% plus...

Plus...

I'll pay for dinner when we go out.

You weren't going to buy din...

You know what? Doesn't matter.

Good luck with your wife.

I'll do it for free!

So what? Tell me.

It's all just been a complete bust?

Well, my last good lead was supposed to arrive

30 minutes ago.

Don't tell my brother.

I don't want him gloating about this.

- My lips are sealed, you know that. - No, no, no! Harriet!

What?

- Rufus! - I left the door open. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! Rufus!

- Rufus! - Rufus!

- Rufus! - Rufus!

I take it this is rufus?

Yeah.

He thinks he's an outdoor cat, but he wouldn't survive five minutes out here.

Would you, buddy?

Most men overestimate their abilities.

I guess that goes for cats too.

Wait. Are you patrick?

No.

I'm kind of wishing I was.

No, no, no, no, no, I.

I have an appointment with a contractor.

I saw your truck and I figured...

Right.

At least now I know the name of the guy I kidnapped so I could take his place.

I'm nate.

To be honest, that would probably be the best excuse I've heard for a while

Of any of these guys who missed their appointment.

- Maggie. - Hey.

Yeah, really, I had a gig in new castle,

I just saw the little guy walking around the streets.

I had to stop.

But I am available.

Oh, you are?

I am at the end of my rope with these contractors.

I totally get it.

We can be super unreliable.

How about I go get my stuff and we can talk?

Okay, great.

Okay, cool.

Why don't I take him and get him fed, and you go

Upstairs and, you know, touch up your make-up...

Oh, harriet, it's not like that.

It is.

I mean, maybe he doesn't have a sense of smell.

Quit your whining, patrick, you sound pathetic.

You know, this is a dog eat dog business.

I'll introduce you to the dogs later on.

Hey. Your friend let me in.

She said she had to go, but to call with all the details

When you can.

That sounds like harriet.

She's my best friend and the least subtle person I know.

Hey. Sometimes unsubtle can be good, right?

Wow. I got to say, whoever drew these up is something else.

Yeah, it's my brother, michael.

He's an architect. We actually work together.

I run the business side of things, but he's the real heart of it.

Oh, you're in architecture?

Yeah, all my life.

My dad actually founded the firm.

My brother and I run it now.

Well, it makes me a little worried.

I mean. It can be difficult working for experts.

Oh, please.

We put on hard hats twice.

The day we break ground, and the day we cut the ribbon.

You guys do the real work.

Well, now I got to come work for you.

Why don't you take a look at some other projects?

See if you see anything you like.

Okay.

Do you mind? While you're looking?

Uh, no, of course not.

Wow. These are really beautiful.

Yeah?

You know, the real question, though, is going to be.

Will your husband be cool with all the work?

It's going to get pretty involved.

Uh, we're separated.

What?

Nothing. I just.

You know, usually when someone says something like that,

I would say I'm sorry,

But I'm not.

I guess I should get going.

I got to feed my dogs.

Listen, I know this is going to cost me,

But if it turns out looking like any of these,

It'll be worth it, right?

I would like to think so.

You only live once.

Can you start tomorrow?

Absolutely.

I'll be here bright and early.

With bells on.

Well... Maybe you don't need bells

Or anything at all.

I like the way you think.

I'm grabbing lunch with michael,

But I decided to come early so you could tell me all about him.

I can't believe you did that.

Yes, you can.

Come on, spill the beans.

Oh! Yoga?

He had those hands, you know, that are like,

Rough yet soft at the same time.

I would love to get back to that dream.

Mm hmm.

I'd like to get back there, too.

So how long has it been for you?

Oh, let's see.

Last few months before I found out about david.

And then we've been separated.

What? Four months.

Wow. We're coming up on three quarters of a year.

That hurts more than this stretch.

Oof, you poor thing.

We ought to have a fundraiser for you.

To be honest, I hadn't even really thought about it.

And now I can't stop thinking about it.

So?

So. Still married.

Separated.

Separated, but still married.

You sound like michael.

I just.

I think that there's a lot of nuance

To the word separated.

It seems like you feel the same.

So we're switching from architecture to yoga now?

If so, I'm gonna have to buy some new pants.

We were just talking about maggie's new contractor.

- Mm hmm. - You found someone?

Mm hmm.

What's his name? I'll ask around about him.

It's nate.

Nate what?

Nate... I'll find out this afternoon?

That's a pretty long name.

It'd be hell to put on a jersey.

Yeah, I get it. I should've asked.

Is he hot?

- Oh. Super hot. - Shhhh.

I mean, if you're into that kind of thing.

Which I'm not.

Well,

I'm glad you found someone.

But when you get his last name, can you let me know?

I just don't want him to turn out to be

Some kind of psycho that butchers my plans.

I will. I will.

Speaking of plans,

Shouldn't those be in the safe?

Yeah.

I was trying to use them as inspiration for the grady pitch.

How's that going?

Uh, you know, my warrior two pose is really coming along.

Well, if they're not inspiring you.

Yeah, I know.

I'll put them in the safe on my way out.

Thank you.

Mm hmm.

Setbacks.

Setbacks.

(screams)

Great.

- Hey. - Hey.

You're back home earlier than I figured.

You worried about the quality of my work on day one?

No. I mean, I bought lunch, and I had too much,

So I figured you might want some?

Cool. Yeah.

Oh, my god. Are you okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

You should see the other guy.

Who did you let wrap that? A kangaroo?

Oh, it's not that bad.

Come on.

Get inside.

Come on.

Yes, ma'am.

Jeez.

What happened?

I have no idea.

Dangers of the job. I guess.

What's all these little pieces of glass in here?

How did you do this?

Hey, mags, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Kangaroo?

(laughs) I couldn't think of a better metaphor on the spot.

- Really? - In my defense,

Kangaroos probably would be terrible at dressing wounds.

I mean, they have those tiny hands.

Tiny kangaroo hands?

I mean, how many kangaroo nurses have you seen?

- Not a ton. - Mhmm. My point exactly.

This is really good.

Well, the girl scouts don't mess around.

Got to earn that first aid merit badge.

- Oh. - What?

Nothing. I'm just...

I'm just imagining you in a girl scout uniform.

Uh, so do you want some lunch?

Oh, yeah.

(laughs) and a lot of people.

Well, mostly my brother, thought we were crazy

For buying the church, but what can I say?

I work in architecture for a living.

How could I pass up such an interesting space?

I have not stopped talking, have I?

Well...

I mean, there was some breathing.

There's not a whole lot of chewing.

Sorry.

I talk when I'm nervous.

Which is weird because I'm totally not nervous right now.

Please say something.

I'm just. I'm just thinking about this.

Oh, yeah?

I realized when you

Asked about it yesterday that I should

Probably not be wearing it if I'm not sure about it.

I take it that it was a little messy?

When is it not?

Fair.

You know, this was our dream home.

Interesting space. Room for all our crazy ideas.

But we spent so much time trying to make our dream come true,

We forgot how to act while we were awake, you know?

So you drifted apart?

No, I stayed in the same place.

He shot off like a bottle rocket into the bed of a junior associate at his firm.

Yeah, a junior associate.

So you kicked him out?

No. We tried to work it out at home,

But our therapist thought it was best if

We took some space. So...

Here we are.

I'm glad.

Because I never would have made him leave.

Can't remember the last time

I've had the chance to be in my own space.

I mean, literally.

Yeah, the symbolism is a bit on the nose.

Hey, maggie.

I wanna tell you something.

I think what you're doing is brave.

Is it?

Yeah.

You know, most women would've just

Shut down,

But not you.

You're out here living your life,

Making new friends.

I think it's beautiful.

Well, maybe I'm not doing everything I want to be doing.

Hey, mags, did you know your dumb fitness app

Shares your location data?

And as it turns out, you're very much not at the office.

All right, it's settled.

I'm going to start knocking.

Hey, man.

I'm nate.

You must be michael.

Must I?

Who else has such perfect timing?

Listen, man, I got to tell you something.

I've seen a lot of plans.

I've made a lot of plans.

And what you put together for this space,

It's special.

Well, I appreciate the kindness.

Especially since maggie here is such a fan of your...

Work.

Well, hey, I mean, she hasn't even seen what I can do yet.

All right, well, on that, I'm

Going to go back to the office and gouge out my eyes.

I'll leave you two to do whatever it is that this is.

No, no, no. Wait, wait.

I was hoping

Maybe we could talk about how you managed to eliminate

Both of the support columns in here.

You know what? I think we both.

Should get back to the office.

Okay. Thank you for having lunch with me.

Thank you for re-attaching my arm.

Michael.

Now, one more thing before we go.

- Nate, right? - Yeah.

Maggie never got your last name.

Really?

I'm sure we, uh,

We exchanged information in the beginning, right?

No. Just nate.

Oh, like, cher, but for drywall?

Yeah.

Brothers.

It's brothers.

Satisfied? Happy?

Can we go?

- Yeah. - Thank you.

All right. Bye.

Maybe you should start calling first.

I didn't know I was going to walk into the

Second act of a soap opera.

All you were missing was a mink stole and some pearls.

What soap operas have you been watching?

Never mind.

What were you even doing here?

You forget about game night?

It's tomorrow. I was dropping everything off.

Oh, no. I said I'd host.

No, no, I said that harriet and I would host.

And you said, no, it's too weird!

I'm not ready!

Okay, fine. You're forgiven.

Any chance you could fake a heart attack tomorrow?

Absolutely not.

I got sloppy, bro.

I got angry again.

You know? But it wasn't my fault.

I mean, this thing was hung up. It was just laughing in our faces.

Setbacks.

Your death was a setback.

You know, bro? I mean, she was really nice, though.

If you think about it.

She bandaged your boy up real good.

But her eyes, man.

She had these sad eyes.

Usually I see a spark,

And I want to steal it away.

But not with her.

I wanted to give her

Something.

Don't worry, bro. I'm not getting soft on ya.

I'll stick to the plan.

These people are going to pay. Just like mom said.

You make the plan.

I execute.

You don't wanna know long it took for you to realize I was here.

I'm halfway through the book.

You carry that with you?

Well, yeah.

I never know when my boyfriend's going to be too busy to notice my charms.

I have so many charms.

Can I show you something?

Oh, yes.

I think I'm making it pretty obvious that you can.

Maggie's contractor.

Oh. This took a turn. Um

Are we doing role play?

I'm pretty sure I have a tool belt in my car.

Nate brothers.

There's nothing about him online.

No website. No reviews.

Nothing.

Okay, and that's a big deal, cause?

You don't find it a little bit suspicious?

It is so cute how overprotective you are.

I'm not being overprotective. I'm being regular protective.

How does a contractor make it this far

Into the 21st century without a single review?

I can think of a lot of reasons.

Alright, name one.

He's only done work for older people,

And they don't know how to use their phones, let alone leave a review.

- And no website? - It's a word of mouth business.

One person recommends

Another and another, and then before you know it,

You don't need a website.

You're making a lot of sense.

Aren't I?

Now take the rest of it off.

Oh. Oh.

I can't even get lucky in my dreams.

All right,

Let's channel some of this frustration.

- Hey. - Hey.

What're you doing here?

I'm here to work. Unless you are going to fire me.

Right. No. Sorry. I...

I fell asleep on the couch.

All. Phew! Come in.

So, uh, did you fall asleep working? Or what?

Yeah.

I'm working on this pitch for this firm.

I'm o for five with them.

I'm not making any progress on the attempt six.

Michael's going to kill me.

Well, that's your pitch!

What? Tell them if they don't hire us, michael's going to kill me?

I don't know if that'll work, but it's funny.

What I mean is, I've been in a lot of homes, right?

I've been with a lot of women.

Not like that.

Not like that.

Homeowners.

And you shine.

I shine?

Yeah.

When you walk in the room, it's like the final reveal of

A home renovation. It's...

It's beautiful.

So with grady don't overthink the pitch.

You know, just write it like you were writing to anyone.

Write it like you're writing to me.

Come on.

You're not anyone...

Yeah. But what I mean is, like, show grady you.

Just the real you.

They're not going to look anywhere else.

I promise.

Okay, I.

I shouldn't have done that.

I didn't mind.

No, I. I'm. I'm still. Mar...

I'm. I'm late for work.

Hey, hey, hey.

We can talk about that later.

When you're ready, okay?

Okay.

Thanks.

Hey, how did you know it was for grady?

Huh?

The pitch I mentioned. How did you know that was for grady?

Oh, you mentioned it.

Did I?

- Yeah. - Huh.

I guess you have a better memory than I do.

Oh, yeah.

It's too good.

There are some things that I can't forget.

Okay.

It's all clear now.

I just need an escape plan.

That's it.

Michael has, like, 18 million dollars of modern art in that safe.

It's the final piece of the puzzle.

I didn't say I wasn't going to do it.

I'm still going to do it.

You know, I'm going to need a vacation after this.

After all the questions.

Questions!

Enough!

I'm sorry, bro.

Here's the thing, man.

Maybe they don't all have to die.

Now, listen to me, norm.

Maggie has nothing to do with this.

When I look into her eyes, all I see is sadness.

She's not sad about her ex-husband.

She feels bad for you,

And for me.

And I gotta be with her.

I would have had her tonight.

But they're playing game night.

These are grown adults playing game night.

These people are so desperate for fun.

You know?

I'll show them some fun.

I'll take michael over here, and put him on a belt sander.

Nah, man, I.

I have to be with her.

That's the only way I'll really know.

Oh, this is the best thing I've heard all month.

It was so awkward. What was I thinking? I'm still married!

Are you going to move that?

No.

I can still feel the heat of the kiss.

Harriet! Oh my gosh. Ew.

I'm just so confused about everything.

Help me.

No, you're not.

You know exactly what you want.

It's not that easy.

I mean, for one thing, I'm his boss.

Of a kitchen reno!

What do you have h.R. In your powder room?

And... There's david.

There's no david.

But there is.

I mean, he's still a part of my life.

When was the last time that you talked to david?

David, what are you doing here?

Game night.

Therapist said we should take some space.

Right. Right. But.

Well, you won't have a partner tonight.

At least...

I mean, do...

Do you have a partner tonight?

Well, so I thought perhaps we can make an exception.

You know, for tonight.

For game night.

Oh, and I.

I brought some wine.

You know, that sweet stuff that nobody else likes but you.

You better hurry up.

The time's running out.

Honey, move it along.

Almost done.

Don't get the impression that he takes this long

With everything he does.

Really?

You're going to make me throw up in my own house?

Come on, babe. 5 seconds left.

Oh, ice cream.

- Yes. - Yes.

That's a point for team harriet.

I thought we decided on team michael.

No, you were outvoted.

Man, that is a hell of a drawing.

Oh, c'mon maggie. You're up next.

- You take that. - Thank you.

Don't expect anything nearly as good as that.

Hey, I'd be impressed if you just get

Some basic shapes up there.

Okay.

Oh, come on.

Michelangelo gets ice cream and I'm stuck with this.

Quit complaining.

Yeah, quit complaining.

You ready?

And... Go!

Mags, are you having a stroke?

20 seconds left.

I know. It's... Uh.

Jealousy.

Holy. Yes.

Oh, my god. It's like you guys cheated.

It's not funny.

It is.

How did you get that?

Because this is terrible.

Well...

Yeah, but...

Okay, so.

Okay, so these are eyes, right?

And then this

Sports car. Right? Right.

And so the eyes are staring at the sports car.

Jealousy.

That's good.

It makes sense that david would understand jealousy.

After all, he's the one.

Hey, guess what?

Guess what?

We need a new marker.

Okay? Why don't you go to the office and get a new marker?

Right now?

Like, right now before I stab you with the empty one.

He's just been a little cranky

Since 2004.

You're being a real jerk, you know?

What used to hang there?

What?

I mean, clearly there's something missing.

So, obviously something used to hang there.

Did you take anything down?

No, I didn't take anything down.

Well, then what was there?

Is this really the most important thing

We should be talking about right now?

I haven't forgiven him.

Neither have I.

He's still my husband, michael.

- That's a legal technicality. - Maybe it is.

Maybe it isn't. Either way, you don't get to decide that.

Fair. Fine. Sorry.

Thank you.

But if you think of that, can you tell me

What used to be there?

Because it's driving me nuts.

You're a very weird person, michael.

I like to think the rest of the world

Just hasn't caught up with me yet.

Yeah, maybe.

We should probably get back downstairs.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, they're probably ready.

Wait. Ready?

Surprise!

But my birthday's not for another couple of weeks.

That's how we surprised you!

Come on. Blow out your candles.

All right, come on. Before the house burns down.

Yay!

Well, not all my wishes came true.

Happy birthday.

- He's still here. - Stop it!

Okay, happy birthday.

Thanks, mags.

It's like mine.

Now we can track each other's heart rates.

It's a wonderful gift!

No, I mean it!

I've been wanting to work out more,

And then this will give me motivation to do that.

So it's a good present.

Listen, I know you hate it.

So please, just for me.

I'm going to make you try it on tonight.

I'm going to make harriet show you how to use it.

Okay.

Oh, don't worry.

I'll get his heart rate up tonight.

We have a dishwasher, you know.

I know, but this gets the dishes cleaner.

And it...

Well, it gives me an excuse to be here a little longer.

Wow. You always were as subtle as an 18 wheeler.

Nothing's going to happen tonight, david.

Oh, and, hey, I don't want anything to happen, but...

Well, I mean, technically, that's not exactly true, but...

It's not why I'm here.

What, then?

Why are you here?

Oh, so now you're up at the board drawing,

And I have to figure it out.

I know, it's just, um.

I don't have the words.

You had the words for her. I read the texts.

Oh, no defense?

No, I deserve that.

I messed up.

Look, I don't want anything from you.

I just want to be near you again.

I want to be near us again.

I don't want to give all this up yet!

We did dominate pretty hard at pictionary.

Yeah.

Chords and melody.

We're better together.

Okay, let's not overstate.

It was nice.

Okay?

I miss nice.

Yeah, I miss nice too.

I see you're not wearing your ring.

I mean, I get it. I'm not upset. I'm just...

I need a minute.

- Sure. - Sorry.

I'll be right back.

I've got nowhere else to be.

What were you doing in there, david?

How do you know my name?

Shhh. Stay down! Stay down!

Hey, hey, hey.

You want to know what you're doing?

You're messing up my plans.

What plan?

Oh. Oh, you want to know the plan?

- Yeah. - Okay.

That's good.

That's good for me.

Shut up! Shut up!

David?

David?

Maggie.

Hey. Hey.

I saw some guy split outta here in an [...]

I saw the door open and I wanted to make sure you...

Hey. Hey.

I left this out here earlier.

Wanted to get it before it rained.

Hey.

Maggie. It's okay.

It's okay.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You're like...

Serendipity.

Like every time I need you, you're somehow there.

The universe can be like that.

It can be so cold and indifferent.

It can take from you.

But it can be generous too.

Is that why you're here?

A generous universe?

Just thinking maybe that's why you're here with me.

Maybe you're not the only one who needs some arms around them.

Wanna talk about it?

Yeah.

Some other time.

I haven't felt so warm in a long time.

Let's not talk about the cold again, okay?

Okay.

I'm so happy

I let you turn my home into an unsafe working environment.

Unsafe?

Are you talking about the jigsaw? It's electric.

We can work all afternoon you're not gonna do any damage with that little thing.

Sounds to me like someone's just trying to get out of trouble.

Okay.

We're gonna do a lesson.

What kind of lesson?

Not that kind of lesson.

Are you tired?

I don't think I'm going to be tired for a week.

Hmm. Maybe another month if you stick around.

Okay.

Come on.

- No. - Let's do it.

You don't have a choice. Let's go.

Let's go.

Yes!

Oh, my god. I did it. I knew it.

I was sure I was going to cut off one of your fingers!

But you still went through with it. Great job.

I guess I had faith in you as a teacher.

Hey.

So I showed you some of my job,

Why don't you show me some of yours?

What do you mean?

Take me to the office.

I want to see what you do.

It's the middle of the night.

Yeah, but it's been an adventure, right?

Let's keep it going.

I mean you got a key. Right, mags?

Of course I have a key.

All right, fine.

We can go. Keep the adventure going, right?

- You want to drive? - No, no, you got to drive.

My van is a mess.

It's choked full of stuff.

Choked, you mean chocked. Chocked full of stuff.

Right.

So this is my office.

That's my desk and my couch and my yoga mat.

Okay, this is feeling a lot less like an adventure

And more like a powerpoint presentation.

I'm sorry.

No, no,

It is exactly what I wanted.

I want to know everything about you.

You won't get bored?

No, I like you.

I haven't liked someone in a long time.

So I thought there would be like, plans everywhere.

Or is it all digital?

Uh, no. Michael is a luddite.

The only technology he believes in is a drafting pencil,

And it's not even mechanical.

There is one thing I could show you that's not boring.

Wow. Is this legit?

Yeah.

Michael knew her as an undergrad.

Bought a whole bunch of her paintings.

Who knew she'd become such a big deal, right?

It's amazing to see all this stuff in one place.

Yeah.

It's over 20 years. First, my dad.

Now, michael.

And you.

You sell it.

Please. That's the easy part.

Hey, don't do that,

Okay?

What you do takes a lot of talent.

None of this would be here without you.

Is there any stuff about hillsborough in here?

Um, the art center?

- Uh, why? - It was a huge story all over the news.

Yeah.

Michael didn't want it in here.

So whatever michael says goes.

You know what?

I don't think michael would want us in here either.

- We should probably go. - Hey. Hey.

I didn't mean that.

Okay?

I read all about it.

I was obsessed with it.

I'm just curious about it.

You had nothing to do with it.

You know why I didn't do it in the safe.

I told you, it's not her.

It's michael.

So first I get michael, right?

Then I get the paintings.

Then I go.

But the girl comes with me.

I did everything we said we would do.

Now it's my turn.

Something for me.

Something for me.

Oh, look at this.

He's on a jog.

We'll have this thing settled by sunrise.

Okay, bro.

No more fighting.

Michael.

Paintings.

And then maggie.

Hey, michael.

Sorry to call you so early.

I saw you were on a run on the app.

I figured I might catch you.

Could you just give me a call back?

I have a question about the

Hillsborough art center project.

Just call me back when you can.

Okay?

Thanks.

Magpie,

I love that.

I love it.

You know, she's starting to get suspicious, mike.

That's bad for me.

It's way worse for you

Exes. Am I right?

We're running out of time, you and I.

You know it. I know it. But I gotta tell you the truth.

I really like her.

I think I love her.

I was not expecting that.

It should've ended when it could've ended. In the safe. You know?

But it wouldn't been right.

It wasn't her fault, you know? And.

And the idea of a world

Where a girl like that is found face down

In some unmarked swamp ditch with you two idiots.

It makes me sad, you know?

I think it makes me sad.

Gonna have to go over that one with my therapist.

But you?

I'm not going to be sad about you, mike.

You designed this.

This was your fault, you arrogant little vole!

So after I get the money that's owed to me

From the settlement that you never paid.

You're going into the ditch with dum dum over here.

Alive.

Because that's how my brother went out.

But first.

I'm gonna need your thumb.

What used to hang there?

What?

I mean, obviously something used to hang there.

Geez.

- What happened? - I have no idea.

What's all these little pieces of glass in here?

How did you do this?

Is there any stuff about hillsborough in here?

The art center?

Uh, why?

I read all about it.

I was obsessed with it.

I'm standing here with the brother of the victim, nathan hawking.

Mr. Hawking, what do you think about today's verdict?

I would call it a travesty of justice,

But people like my brother and I,

We don't get justice, good or bad.

Do you agree with the court that the builder is to blame?

The builder, the architect, the city.

They all cut corners and the result is my brother.

Is my brother dying under...

Under 18 tons of concrete.

- What do you have to say? - About the settlement?

The number is too low.

There is no punishment and you will pay!

Hey, you still up, huh?

I can't hear you. Give me a thumbs up if you're awake.

Oh, you still dead?

Good. I got to go make a proposal to your wife.

Rest up!

You want to explain to me what's going on?

Oh, baby.

I was just coming to tell you all about it.

Do it fast, nathan hawking.

Someone's been [...]

Stay where you are!

Maggie.

If you're half as smart as I think you are,

I know you know who I am.

You really think you could stop me?

I mean it, don't come any closer!

The amount of times I've heard that.

Plus, I think you're going to be excited about what I have to tell you.

Don't.

Don't be difficult.

Good morning, precious.

Right now you're waking up from a baby concussion.

It's so good

That it was just a small one

You hurt me, babe.

You hurt me bad. Look at it.

Look at it.

I'm not a silent movie villain, maggie.

You're not tied down.

But if you move a centimeter

In either direction, I'm going to nail you the wall.

I've fallen for you.

It felt so good to say that.

I'm so glad we could talk like this

You're crazy.

Crazy is not the word.

Don't minimize me,

Okay?

- There is a reason for all of this. - No reason for this. Please.

Okay?

This is the final piece of the puzzle.

I brought those two guys to justice.

I got my settlement out in the van,

And I want to be with you forever

And ever.

Am I out of line to think you want to do the same?

Don't be so self-righteous, maggie.

Are you kidding me?

It was your company that set up the building

That collapsed, and I had to sit there

And listen to my kid brother die under 18 tons of concrete.

I was just trying to make it right.

I was going to use you.

I was going to seduce you,

And then I was going to discard you.

But then I fell for you.

And I will never let you go.

So let's burn this place to the ground.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go off the grid, make some babies,

Live on a farm,

Buy some crops, whatever.

What do you say?

Oh, you're going to annoy me if you keep this up.

You're a murderer.

Murder is not the word.

This is justified. This is called justice.

I was put on this earth

To bring justice

To a world that is devoured by the rich and powerful.

They have sucked it dry.

But now we're rich and powerful,

So maybe we could re-evaluate.

How's that sound? Haha!

I can't believe I let you into my home.

Okay,

That's enough.

You let me into your home. Okay?

I made your kitchen beautiful.

I made you feel beautiful.

And I ripped the life out of that pathetic waste

Of a husband of yours.

The same way he took the life from you.

Yeah, he took an [...]

He took a one way [...] ticket to hell.

You get a girl a little horny, she'll believe anything you want.

And I want to give us a chance.

So what do you say, baby?

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Thank you

For letting me be here with you.

Let's go upstairs

And I'll show you how thankful I am. Okay?

Okay?

Dammit, maggie!

No wonder you never nailed the grady pitch!

You're the worst actress I've ever seen!

Any last words?

Appropriate. Goodnight, princess..

Maggie, I know you're in here.

I know you're bleeding, baby.

I know you're hurt.

Coming for you.

Come here, and I'm gonna make it all better.

Come on in, baby. Let me give ya a -

Mags!

There's no coming back from that.

I'll call the cops.

Come here.

I really wanted to kill him.

I know, I know.

That's not you.

I'm proud of you.

I'd give you a thumbs up,

But I can't.

What?

Oh, my god.

Are you okay?

I'll tell you later.

Shouldn't have listened to your brother!

Freeze!

Michael!

Michael?

Are you okay?

Hey, come on.

Say something or anything.

Come on, say something. Something.

Considering I have a nail in my shoulder,

And I'm missing a thumb, I'd say I'm doing all right.

Yeah. You're doing just fine.

- How? - Well, um.

Michael didn't come back from his run,

And then he didn't answer his phone, so...

The cops, how?

Well, when I looked at the app,

I noticed that

You both were here, so I figured, I don't know,

Maybe you had something to talk about

Because of david, you know, last night and everything.

But then I checked your heart rates,

And you both were spiking 200.

He never spikes 60.

Even when we're having...

Anyway, he never spikes 60. So...

I just figured better to be safe than sorry.

Better safe.

Thank you.

So you want to tell me how we went from pictionary

With your ex to nail gun murder house?

Oh, god.

So that's the pitch.

I could keep going on and on about why you should hire us

Or why we're the best firm for this job,

But these blueprints speak for themselves.

You know who we are.

You know who he is and what he is capable of.

The one thing I can tell you is that I just finished

Renovating my own kitchen, using my own two hands,

Using blueprints that he had drawn up for me.

I'm a novice, and his work is complex,

But it's also logical and has that easy way about it

That all brilliant things do.

The best part of my day,

Is walking into that kitchen,

And seeing my own little piece of art,

Beauty that I can feel with my own hands.

So if you want that feeling,

The number is at the bottom of the page,

Good luck with your other meetings.
