Resident Alien (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Love Language - full transcript

Previously, on
"Resident Alien"...

Jay at the clinic.

That's Asta's daughter.

That's a really big secret,
and it's gonna hurt

a lot of people
when it comes out.

Let go!

I thought she'd be better off
without me,

but what if that's not true?

Stop! He's not worth it.

What if she's supposed
to be with me?

- I hear they found a body.
- No, just a foot.



There's a dead body
out there somewhere,

and we're not gonna rest
until we find it.

My son Max told me
you're an alien.

Frankly,
he is driving me crazy.

I believe you.
I've got a plan.

Hello?

- Check this out.
- No!

How did you get in here?

I have a key.

I am still your wife.

Harry used the tissue samples
to track back the infection

to the coating on the patient's
artificial aortic valve.

- It was amazing work, Harry.
- Thank you.

I'm great with the heart
as long as it's not my own.



Uh, excuse me.

Yes, of course.

Hi, can you help me?
I'm sorry.

Yes.

What do you think
this painting is saying?

Um...

I'm rather trying not
to think about it, actually.

But I'd say...

makes me feel
a bit upside down.

Upside down.

What's it make you feel?

I don't know.

- But I love the mystery.
- Mm.

Right.

That's very interesting.

You really ought to share that
interpretation with the artist.

Ah.

Oh. That's me.

Hi, I'm Isabelle.

- You're the artist?
- I'm the artist.

But I thought
you were the waitress.

I'm undercover.

I'll be
the waitress‐‐who will you be?

Uh, I am
the divorced doctor...

- Oh.
- Who is also undercover.

I'm an art afficionado.

Ah.

As an art afficionado,
what do you say about this?

I love this painting.

Thank you.

I'm Harry Vanderspeigle.

You're Harry Vander‐‐
What's it?

- Speigle, yes. Yes.
- Speigle.

Mm. Unfortunately,
some bastard has outbid you.

A bastard outbid me?

- Indeed.
- Bastard.

Got to fix that.

Hold on.

$10,000.

I mean, it's for a good cause.

Right.

Indeed.

I'm not letting this
get away.

I want to solve this mystery.

♪ There was a boy ♪

♪ A very strange,
enchanted boy ♪

♪ They say
he wandered very far ♪

♪ Very far ♪

♪ Over land and sea ♪

Humans
have a strange practice

they call
"the art of bullshitting,"

and that little bastard Max
is Michelangelo.

I hate that kid.

You want to pretend
to be my friend

to steal my keys
and break into my cabin?

Fine with me.

Nice knowing you, friend.

What?

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hello? H‐‐

Max!

Oh, thank God,
you were in here.

You didn't check the closet?

For our sleeping son?

No, I didn't check the closet
or the sock drawers.

He camps out
in here sometimes.

Oh, you must have
fallen asleep.

- Come here.
- Yeah.

I must have fallen asleep.

No!

All right, now, I'm gonna
need to know

the boy's blood type,

and I'm gonna need
a hair sample.

We gonna hope for the best
but be prepared for the worst.

Now, Deputy, you go up, and you
dust his room for prints.

Now, tell me,
when was the last time

you saw the boy alive?

Well, so, funny story
about Max.

Um...

He was in the closet.

Are you kidding me?

Shit, I scraped ice
off the truck for this?

Actually, I scraped the ice.

Yeah, we're really sorry
to drag you out here.

Then I warmed up the car
while he finished his coffee.

Look, you might want
to tie a rope

around your boy
so you don't lose him.

You know I caught him
riding his bike

way out on Route 16 today?

What? Max, is that true?

You know you're not allowed

to ride your bike
that far from home.

You are grounded for a year.

- Honey.
- A day?

You can't ground me!
I had a good reason!

This should be something.

Hey, if my son says
he has a good reason,

he had a good reason.
Go ahead, Max.

Thank you, Mother.

I had to break in
to Dr. Vanderspeigle's house

- while he was at work.
- Wait, what?

Apology accepted.

What type
of criminal mastermind

are y'all raising
in this house, huh?

I found proof
that he's an alien!

Oh, really?
What kind of proof?

Like, uh, flying orbs
or a loss of, uh...

uh, time.

He has alien technology
in his basement!

Max, you have to stop lying.

I'm not lying!
Sahar was there!

She saw everything!

I don't remember
seeing anything.

What?

I remember
riding bikes, but...

I don't remember going
to the doctor's cabin.

I'm sorry, Max.

You're still here.

You can't wear that.

That is a man's shirt!

I flew across the country
to talk to you,

and you left and drove away.

Where did you go?

To get milk.

So where's the milk?

I drank it.

She's scanning me.

It's a good thing
I didn't murder those kids.

There'd be blood
all over my pants.

And then I'd have
to murder her.

Yes. I made the right choice.

I'm very good at this.

What's different about you?

I shaved my mustache.

You didn't have a mustache.

I grew it,
and then I shaved it...

before I drank the milk.

Are you high?

Yes.

I am high
on the skunk's... weed.

I'm very cross with you.

You sound like James Bond.

Very cross with you.

I'm very cross with you.

I was ready to sign
the divorce papers,

and then you stonewalled
the lawyers for months.

Phone calls, emails, texts,
all unanswered.

I don't know if you saw
any of them.

This has been absolute
emotional torture.

If you're ready
to have a divorce,

just sign the papers!

Thank you.

Um...

wow, that was so easy for you.

There's a motel at Exit 42.

And there's an asshole
in the living room.

I thought we could at least
talk about this like humans.

That's where I sleep.

Ah. Hmm.

What's happening here?

She agreed
to end the relationship;

I've got it in writing.

Don't move.
Don't make a sound.

Just play dead,
and maybe she'll let go.

Actually, this isn't bad.

She's warm,
like a giant ham.

Maybe I can sleep after all.

Shit.

Morning, love.

What time is it?
The alarm...

Oh, I turned it off.

I thought
we could use the rest.

- I have to go.
- What? When are we gonna talk?

We just did.

Now I have to go to my job.

Since when have you
got a job in Patience?

The town doctor was murdered.

Now I am the town doctor
because I am alive.

You've abandoned
your practice back home,

and now you're in Colorado
playing Dr. Fix‐It?

They just call me
Dr. Vanderspeigle.

Goodbye.

Before you go home,
take out the trash.

I recycle.

I am angry.

I was supposed to be up early
and already on the mountain

to search for my device.

That woman is a distraction.

Why do these creatures
choose to spend their lives

with someone else?

It's bad enough
they're already tethered

to each other through family.

My people do family
the right way.

We don't care
if they live or die.

Take one white one
and one red one with your eggs.

Is that what they call
these yellow things?

Looks like Big Bird exploded
on this plate.

Wasn't for you, we'd be eating

those half‐smoke sausages
at Bee‐Bee's.

Yeah, I know,
it's not exactly D. C., but...

the mountain air out here
is good for you.

Oh, is that what
we're going with?

Is that why we're here?

Yeah, blame moving out here
on me,

just like you blame me
for everything else.

Probably my fault
Sam got killed, too.

You crack that one yet,
Mikey?

Didn't think so.

Looks like Sam chose
the wrong town to die in.

You just‐‐

Shit!

What's wrong with you?

And these people trust you
with a gun.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Can you just take
your pills, please?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Harry!
- Huh?

What's going on?
Chasing a raccoon in there?

I'm fine.

There is no racoon.

I'm just putting on my pants.

Oh, shit.

Are you living in your truck?

Hey, it's nothing
to be ashamed of.

I‐I sleep at the 59, like,

three nights a week,
so I get it.

I'm not living in my truck.

Oh, I...

I do sleep at the 59.

Is that coffee for me?

Oh, this coffee that I have
not offered to you in any way?

- Mm‐hmm.
- No.

Oh.

Anyway, glad I ran into you
because, um...

you know, we had fun,
and we kissed,

which was... interesting.

But I‐I kind of think
we shouldn't drag this whole

"will they, won't they" thing
out more than we need to.

I don't want
to date you anymore.

Can I just have a sip?

- It will help me move my bowels.
- Okay.

No, I can see
that you're hurting,

and I get it.

We can be friends,
I just‐‐it's just‐‐

You're just not my type.

So your type
is not the smartest

and the best person
in the world.

See, there it is.

Uh, I think
it's just your ego.

It's...

I don't even know
how to describe it.

So you're not very smart?

Um...

what the ‐‐‐did you
just say to me?

Oh, no. Human men must not
say mean things to women.

If I don't apologize,
she'll know I'm an alien.

That was mean.

I should not have said that.

Yeah.

I am a man, a human man,
and you are smart,

relative to...

our species.

Goodbye.

Asshole!

Hmm.

You lying, cheating bastard.

Oh, hello, Dr. Vanderspeigle.

I'm surprised
you're still here.

Mayor Hawthorne
hasn't found my replacement yet

because he's bad at his job.

Well, these are
Sam's private medical files.

I thought you might want them.

No.

But okay.

You know, since I'm here,

can I ask if you've finished
Sam's autopsy report?

I can't until I get
the toxicology results

back from the lab in Denver.

So sad to find out
he committed suicide.

Because if he was murdered,
it would not be so sad.

Well, if he
committed suicide,

his insurance claim
would be null and void.

So I'm counting on you, Doctor,
to do the right thing.

You know, you could
use a haircut.

Why don't you come down
to the salon?

I'll cut it for you.

I cut my own hair.

I see that.

What was that about?

She's pro‐murder.

And she wanted you
to take this box

to where the other
dead people boxes go.

Okay, then.

Mrs. Hodges brought this.
I don't know where to put it.

Also, my mom wanted
to thank you

for helping me out
the other night.

She wants
to make you dinner.

Oh. Wow.

That's nice.
She doesn't have to do that.

Um, we can talk about that.

So I'm gonna take this box.

I have a problem.

So do I.
That box keeps following me.

I messed up.

I never should've
brought Jay here.

She's just so innocent.

Walking around,
not knowing the truth.

Tell her you're her mother.

I gave her up.

I can't just drag her back
now that it suits me.

She has a life and a family.

You know, knowing the truth
should be on her terms

when she's ready.

Jay should not be here.

This is interesting.

She's willing to send Jay away
because she loves her,

not because she hates her.

Fire her.

No.

I can't do that.

Can I?

Although...

her class is almost over.

I could make sure
she gets a good grade.

Harry.

Harry.

Whose scarf is this?

Girl up front?
This woman?

Excuse me.
"This woman"?

Harry, why don't you
tell your girlfriend

that this is a doctor's office

and she cannot barge
into an exam room?

I'm not his girlfriend.

I'm his wife.

His wife?

Harry here told me
you were dead.

Oh!

Ha ha ha...

Do I look dead to you,
Harry?

Would a dead person do this?

Or that?

Ooh, I'm so sorry.
All right, then.

Ooh, and this must be a ghost.

You're dead, too.
I guess we're all dead.

Dead!

Wow, sorry. Um, right.

You're a monster.

I‐I‐I'm going back
to New York.

I‐I can't.

"Monster" is a cheese, right?

Can I have a glass
of your driest white, please?

Eeh...

Well, we've been using
the same box of wine

as a stepladder
since Halloween, so...

Uh, whiskey‐‐
that's your best bet.

Oh, dear.

And you're in luck.

Still in time
for the breakfast special,

if you want me
to crack an egg into it.

I am going through a divorce,

but I'm not quite at
"egg in my whiskey" phase yet.

Divorce. That's rough.
I hear ya.

You're divorced?

Oh, no. Not yet, anyway.

You know, someday.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Still kind of working
on that pre‐divorce part.

Don't bother.

Ah, God. How do people...

Ooh. Wow.

Really sneaks up on you.

Yeah. It's like a stroke.

I just don't understand
how people can change so much.

He used to be
so alive and present,

and now he's, like, blunt.

- I know blunt guys.
- Mm.

Yeah, the guy I'm dating,
it's like,

he's so direct, you know,
which is refreshing.

- It's kind of hot, but...
- Mm.

Sometimes it's...
it's really brutal.

Exactly.
God, they're all the same.

- Probably dating the same guy.
- Maybe there's two of them.

Can you imagine?

I'm sorry.
I thought you were my wife.

Max has something
he would like to tell you.

Go ahead, Max.

I stole your keys
and made a copy of them

to sneak into your cabin.

What?

I am horrified
at this accusation!

Oh, no, he didn't accuse you
of anyth‐‐

I don't accept your apology!

Well, he hasn't
apologized yet.

I'm getting ahead of myself.

Max. Go on.

I'm sorry.

Good.

Now I... do not accept
your apology!

Well, you‐‐
you have to accept it.

Why?

Those are the rules.

Well, he's not really sorry,
so I'm not accepting it.

Dr. Vanderspeigle is right.

Max...

say it like you mean it.

But I don't mean it!

Your act
doesn't fool me, alien.

I know you found us
in your basement

and somehow snuck us home.

I'm feeling attacked.
I am snowflaking.

Max, that's‐‐that's enough.

Do you see what we're dealing
with, Dr. Vanderspeigle?

He just won't let up.

I have an idea.

They obviously love this kid.

I'm not sure why.

He's a menace.

I learned a lesson from Asta
about love.

It can be used as a weapon.

Okay, Max.

I'm going to give you
a simple test.

Which one of these people...
is me?

You know I can't tell
by this.

If there was a picture
of a gross alien

or a dumb slug,
I'd point to it.

- Hurtful.
- Max.

Please stop fooling around.

This is serious.

Fine.

- This one!
- No!

Enough games, buddy.
That's Russell Crowe.

No, that's Sam Neill.

No, the Australian guy

from the genius movie
with the math.

No, I promise you, it's not‐‐
Hey!

Snap out of it!

Max got it wrong.

Sweetie, who is this?

- Don't you recognize him?
- No!

I've never seen that man before
in my entire life.

Hmm, I forgive you

for breaking
into my house, Max.

I forgive you

because you are
a sick little boy.

And she's right.
It's Sam Neill!

From the Jurassic‐era
dinosaur documentary!

I‐‐
He's lying!

He's setting me up!
He's tricking you!

Hey‐‐
He's not even a real doctor!

- Max.
- Well, this has been fun.

I'm just gonna go
jump out a window real quick.

Max.

It's worse than I thought.

He obviously suffers

from a severe case
of teraphobia.

Teraphobia?

Seeing monsters
and other scary things.

If you worry about one thing,
it should be that.

Also...

he might suffer
from face blindness

and anxiety...

and looking at your skull...

he's probably gonna have
a receding hairline.

This is horrible.

If teraphobia
is untreated,

Max can have severe issues,

and going through life
without hair is no fun.

But...

there is a special school

for kids like Max...

in Georgia.

- Georgia?
- Mm.

We just need a smoking gun.

We ain't got no smoke.
Hell, we ain't even got a gun.

I interviewed
every possible witness,

and I examined
all the evidence. I‐‐

Are you shitting me
right now?

Are you playing with a yo‐yo?

Sorry, sir.
It, uh‐‐it calms me.

Well, I need to be calm.
Give me this.

Ow.

Got no viable suspects.

We got no motive.
We got nothing!

Hell, we don't even know
for sure yet

if he was even murdered!

Great, you broke it.

Sir, Sam doesn't seem
the suicide type.

I think he was murdered,
and I really do think

it's somehow related
to the foot in the lake.

You know what?
Screw that foot.

For all we know,
that thing floated downriver

from up north.

There's probably
some one‐footed sumbitch

up in Gunnison, hopping around,

laughing at our asses
right now.

Mm.
I don't think he laughs much.

I was so happy when I thought
we had a serial killer.

It felt good.

I mean,
look at these streets!

They're not mean!
They're beautiful!

You know how many
violent crimes

Colorado Springs
had last year, hmm?

Over 500.

500!

Lucky bastards.

Cheer up, sir.
Tomorrow is bingo night.

Maybe Mrs. Labelle will
sucker‐punch the priest again.

Yeah, she is crazier
than zucchini cake.

Yeah.

Actually, s‐she is my aunt.

Okay. Still shouldn't
put vegetables in cake.

It's wrong.

- We're smart, attractive...
- Yes. Mm!

Independent women.

We don't need some guy
to determine our future.

We are strong!

We're strong.
And we're fearless!

You are fearless!

Damn right.

Except about this guy.

I think you broke up with him

because you were afraid
of getting hurt.

Mm. You think so?

'Cause I thought it was
'cause he kissed like a horse

eating an ice cream cone.

I'm so sorry.

Any real man
would be in love with you.

- Yeah.
- Take it from an artist.

Without risk, there's nothing.

Yeah.

Real women don't run away.

- That's right.
- Mm!

- We don't run away.
- Mm!

Because we're strong
because we support each other.

Right.

Have you seen Danny?

Day Drunk Danny that fixes
the karaoke machine?

Jesus, Judy.

You're just jealous
I got a guy

who can work in tight spaces.

Like you have any.

Oh, wouldn't you
like to know?

The whole town knows, Judy!

I know.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Pretty.

Hmm.

- You guys!
- To women supporting women.

Yes.

Hey, Jay.

Thanks for picking up
the files.

I know you like it here,

and it's really been great
having you.

Um, we're just...

we're not as busy as we were
a couple months ago.

Are you listening to me?

This paper says
you had a baby.

And your baby was born
on my exact birthday.

It's fine.

It's not like I didn't know
I was adopted.

I...

It's...

it's complicated.

You know...

it seems simple.

You gave me away
and then lied to me.

Wait.

If you're "Mommy,"
who's "Daddy"?

It's not that dick Jimmy,
is it?

Wow.

I really won the lottery
with that one, didn't I?

No wonder you gave me away.

I'm so sorry‐‐
Don't.

I was going to fire her.

Are you waiting for a bus?

I like the cold.
It helps me think.

Buddhist monks
believe that suffering

comes from the thinking mind.

They can also train their minds
not to feel pain.

One of them
lit himself on fire.

I think that one felt pain.

Trying to make me feel better

after tearing the heart
out of a 17‐year‐old girl?

You didn't tear
her heart out.

You just lied to her
and pretended to be her friend.

You want to talk about lying?

What kind of person lies
about their wife being dead?

Humans lie.

It's what they do.

Why?

Maybe they don't want
people to know

who they really are.

Hmm.

I told you I'd meet you
at the diner.

Nice to see you, too.

Harry Vanderspeigle.
I think we met briefly.

Are you ‐‐‐‐‐‐with me, man?

No, of course not.

Chicken‐ass bitch.

Okay. Let's go.

Let's go!

Don't.

That is not why I texted you.

You always say that.

I need you to listen.

This is hard.
It's about the baby.

She found out who we are.

Whoa.

How did she find you?

It's Jay.

The girl with the attitude
that answers the phone?

Yeah. She's our daughter.

And, yes, I knew that
when I hired her.

Jesus, Asta.

That is messed up.

What the hell is he doing here?

What, is he your new boyfriend
or something?

- No.
- No.

I'm just here eating cake.

- You her bodyguard now?
- Harry.

- I prefer ninja.
- Harry.

You don't have to do this.
Just ignore him.

You shouldn't ignore ninjas.

Just don't pay
any attention to him.

He's reading books
about monks and ninjas.

How long have you known?

Always.

Since you talked me
into giving up my own baby.

Damn it, Asta!

You weren't ready either!

Are you serious?

I'm only telling you so that
you will hear it from me first.

If Jay comes to find you,

I don't want you
flipping out on her.

You're the last person
she needs in her life.

Oh, right.

You always make me out
to be the psycho.

You know what?

Doing what you did,
that shit ain't normal.

You really wanted
to protect her,

you should've stayed the hell
out of her life.

It's better that she knows.

This isn't your problem.

You shouldn't have
to deal with it.

You're too young
to remember...

but that night, when I realized
your mother wasn't coming back,

I tucked you in extra tight,
and I made a promise to you

that I'd never leave you
to do this life alone.

How could I leave her?

Well, you didn't know
any better.

But I promise you,
she has a family

that loves her
as if she was their own.

Where did Harry go?

Ninja.

Why is she still here?

How am I supposed to get
into my underwear

and watch Jerry Orbach
with that hot ham in my house?

You said you were
going away forever.

I'm afraid I didn't handle
things very well today.

I'd really love
to make it up to you.

Hope you're hungry.

Where did you
get these steaks?

They were in the freezer
downstairs.

That's impossible,
because the door is...

Open!

You freak, I don't know why

you locked everything
like that.

I don't think we have
to do that out here.

I had to break the lock
of the icebox

just to get the... steaks.

Got to get some frozen peas.

I'll get them.

You're lovely.

Mmm.

You're so quiet.
What are you thinking?

If I could fit your body
in the freezer

next to the other guy.

So many things.

You're so different.

You haven't been yourself
since I got here.

I am myself.

I've always been myself.

A man...

and nothing else.

See, that's what
I'm talking about.

I know what's going on
with you.

You're afraid.

I'll go with that.

I'm scared, too.

Men showed up at the apartment

and said they needed
to talk to you.

Look, I don't care
what trouble you're in.

I really don't.

Whatever's going on with you,

I'll be there with you,
no matter what.

All right, D'arce.

You want to put yourself
out there?

Let's do this.

Come on, you beast.
Let's have a dance.

♪ If you're going home
one evening ♪

♪ And you... ♪

Shit.

That was a waste of deodorant.

Well, dinner's over.

Mm.

What next?

I can only think
of one thing.

Hmm?

Scrub the pans
before you leave.

Well...

Mm.

You want to send him
to Georgia?

Of course I don't want
to send him away.

But we have a broken child.

The only thing scarier
than being away from him

is him getting worse if we
don't do something about it.

But maybe he'll outgrow it
on his own.

You know, like the lisp
or the‐‐or the thumb sucking.

- No.
- I just‐‐I think‐‐

I just think that we should
give it more time.

This is different.

This place is equipped
to help him

in ways that we can't.

Be honest.

Does Max seem like a normal
little boy to you?

No, I‐I guess not.

Am I losing my hair?

What? No. What?

Don't you feel like
it's gone back a little bit?

No.

Max for Sahar.
Do you read me?

Sahar here, over.

I know you don't believe me
about the alien.

My parents are sending me away.

Over.

All I said was that
I didn't remember.

Of course I still believe you.

And nobody's sending you away.

I have an idea. Over.

There's
no need to be frightened.

I'll take care of you.

Tell Babette where it hurts.

I don't know who Babette is‐‐

Ooh, that feels good.

I knew you still loved me.

Didn't have the heart
to take it down.

We're gonna be
together forever.

I thought you'd be in Georgia
by now getting probed.

Humans don't probe.
Only stupid aliens do that.

My people don't.

It's the greys
that have the ass fetish.

That's adult language,
and we don't appreciate it.

What are you doing here?

You shouldn't be
that surprised to see me.

Touching your floating apple
may have knocked out my memory,

but it didn't kill me.

Maybe next time.

There won't be a next time.

Hold on, Max.
The adults are talking.

Max isn't going
to that institute.

I once held my breath
for two minutes

just to get out
of a Sufi prayer circle.

I'll teach him.

I'll bet he'll hold his breath
for an hour

to get out of Georgia.

Good.
Then he'll be dead.

I'll find his tombstone
and spit on it.

You won't be able to

because he's going
to be cremated

and have the ashes sprinkled
into the ocean.

Fine. Then I'll spit on it,
and it'll hit your dead DNA.

No, it won't.
Because I tricked you.

He didn't really have his ashes
put into the ocean.

I snuck them into your pocket.

So, when you were spitting
into the ocean,

he was in your pocket
laughing at you the whole time.

Your spit will never
get near him.

We win again.

Ha ha!
I got you.

I don't think
what I just did was...

normal human behavior.

Oh. Are we driving you crazy?

Get used to it.

We're both holding our breath
until you promise

to leave him alone.

When we pass out,
they'll think you did it.

Good. It'll be quieter.

Great. More air for me.

Thank you.
I'll have some more.

You look silly.

Look, I mean,
how long is this?

Okay.

Okay, stop!

- What do you want?
- A truce.

You tell my parents
I'm not crazy

so I can stay home,

and I'll stop telling everyone
you're an alien.

What about killing him?
Can I still kill him?

No!

That's pretty much implied
in the word "truce."

Go ahead.

Shake on it.

Fine.

Any questions, Max?

Yeah. Why can I see you?

Are you familiar with
multidimensional space travel?

Very.

Some humans
are genetically more tuned

to the frequencies
of other dimensions,

so they can see beyond
my molecular reconstruction.

Like that was blue and black

but some people saw it
as white and gold?

- It wasn't white and gold?
- It wasn't white and gold?

No!

- Whoa.
- Wow.

I have a question.

Why do humans fold pizza
when they eat it?

Basic engineering.

It's too floppy when it's flat.

Ah.

What are the Nazca lines?

Ancient alien graffiti.

Do aliens poop?

Everybody poops.

Just like the book.
I knew it.

When I first discovered that
Max knew who I really was,

I hated him for it.

Maybe I did not
actually hate him.

I just hated
how he made me feel inside.

I felt exposed, vulnerable.

In a way, I hated myself.

for just ten minutes,

I could feel my hatred
going away.

Maybe there's something
out there stronger than hate.

Hungry?

I've only got enough
for coffee.

Well, that's okay.

Family don't pay.

In that case,
I'll get two burgers‐‐

one for here and one to go‐‐

and a slice of pie.

Yeah, all right.

Sheriff?

Sam's toxicology results
are in.

Botulinum toxin A levels
are through the roof.

Sam was poisoned.

Holy shit sticks!
We got ourselves a murder!

- Deputy.
- Yeah. Sheriff.

- All right. Get on it.
- Okay.

- Get on it.
- Yeah. Enjoy your breakfast.

- All right, thank you, ma'am.
- Okay.
