["It Was Love At First Sight"
by Wesley Bright plays]

2
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:32,650
[Sera] The one on the left
is Endless Sun.

3
00:00:32,650 --> 00:00:34,734
- [John] Mm-hmm.
- It contains grains of sand
from the beaches of Mauritius.

4
00:00:34,734 --> 00:00:36,903
That's what gives it
that, like, nice texture.

5
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:38,438
- Okay.
- Then the one on the right,

6
00:00:38,438 --> 00:00:40,540
that one's Parisian Gold.

7
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:42,575
The pigment comes
from a gilding house in France

8
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:44,244
that supplied
the Palace of Versailles

9
00:00:44,244 --> 00:00:45,645
with cornicing
for the Hall of Mirrors.

10
00:00:45,645 --> 00:00:47,800
- Really?
- I know. I know, yes.

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,682
- Okay.
- Yeah.

12
00:00:48,682 --> 00:00:50,617
[John] Hmm.

13
00:00:50,617 --> 00:00:52,919
Is that a hard "no"
on Tahitian Vanilla?

14
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:54,921
- Yes, because that's
an ice cream flavor.
- Okay.

15
00:00:54,921 --> 00:00:57,490
- No. Baby, this is
our baby's room.
- Okay.

16
00:00:57,490 --> 00:00:59,159
I want it to be perfect.

17
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:00,860
I know you do.

18
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:02,429
I'm just gonna say
it'd be easier

19
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:04,364
if we knew if it was gonna be
a boy or a girl.

20
00:01:04,364 --> 00:01:06,132
And we'll know in a few months.

21
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:08,501
- Besides, I'm not refusing
to find out.
- Yeah?

22
00:01:08,501 --> 00:01:10,570
- Just that I can live
with not knowing.
- Hmm.

23
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:12,672
The fact that you can't is...

24
00:01:13,139 --> 00:01:14,708
- Ah, it's so much fun.
- [chuckles]

25
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:17,510
- Yeah, I'm getting
that whole vibe over here.
- Mm-hmm.

26
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:19,779
[chuckles] What do you think?

27
00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:21,470
Um...

28
00:01:21,470 --> 00:01:22,549
[whispers] Parisian Gold.

29
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:25,352
- Oh, I think I like
the Parisian Gold.
- Oh, good.

30
00:01:25,352 --> 00:01:27,354
- Me too.
- Settled.

31
00:01:27,354 --> 00:01:28,988
[John chuckles]

32
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:35,862
You're next.

33
00:01:38,465 --> 00:01:41,368
You've been pretty incredible
through this whole thing.

34
00:01:42,902 --> 00:01:45,572
With all the doctors
and all the injections

35
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:47,807
and all that craziness,
you've been amazing.

36
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:52,312
Well, I didn't do it alone.

37
00:01:52,312 --> 00:01:55,115
No, I did it alone. A couple.

38
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,884
- [chuckles]
- Yep, all by myself.

39
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:01,688
You ready?

40
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:06,559
Yeah, I am. I'm ready.

41
00:02:06,559 --> 00:02:09,362
I mean, I'm terrified,
but I'm ready.

42
00:02:10,997 --> 00:02:12,665
You love me.

43
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:15,368
You love me too.

44
00:02:21,941 --> 00:02:25,779
[Sera] Logic and statistical
reasoning appear to live

45
00:02:25,779 --> 00:02:30,483
somewhere between exact science
and the infinite unknown.

46
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:32,719
But nothing could be further
from the truth.

47
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:37,570
It's really no different
from any other mathematical
field of study.

48
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:38,224
- And in this way...
- Yep.

49
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:41,261
[Sera] There's only one answer.

50
00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:43,997
- Okay.
- Guys, check it out.

51
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:46,599
[light piano music playing]

52
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:50,360
You know, she and John
used to be a thing.

53
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,771
- [John] Dude.
- Seriously?

54
00:02:51,771 --> 00:02:53,973
- It was a long time ago.
I'm happily married now.
- [Steven] Mm.

55
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:55,342
Everybody believes you.

56
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:57,744
- Would you shut up, man?
- [Sera] There's no gray area.

57
00:02:57,744 --> 00:03:00,213
You can't agree to disagree.

58
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:04,484
It's as binary as one and zero.

59
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:07,530
Hey.

60
00:03:07,821 --> 00:03:08,922
Hey. [sighs]

61
00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:10,824
You're showing
the Scarsdale house today, right?

62
00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:12,625
Yeah.

63
00:03:12,625 --> 00:03:14,794
You mind if I tag along?

64
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:19,532
Come on. It's the last project
we worked on together.

65
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:21,835
Oh.

66
00:03:21,835 --> 00:03:24,370
I-I don't think
that's a good idea.

67
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:28,410

Oh, ****. John, John,
please pick up, please.

73
00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:09,649
[John] All right, guys.
Appreciate it. Nice to see you.

74
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:10,717
[on voicemail]
Hi, you've reached John Winter.

75
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:11,985
Please leave me a message.

76
00:04:15,488 --> 00:04:17,791
Oh! [pants]

77
00:04:19,793 --> 00:04:21,828
Hi, you've reached John Winter.

78
00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:25,310
Oh, ****, please.
Come on, John. [sniffles]

- Mm.

83
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:50,123
Come here.

84
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:52,158

00:05:31,464 --> 00:05:32,699
[John] You love me.

88
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:40,640
You love me too.

89

[John sighs]

91
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,905
I can't stay here.

92
00:06:15,442 --> 00:06:16,676
I know.

93
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:29,856

[music ends]

98
00:08:27,741 --> 00:08:29,509
[John] Listen, the right thing's
gonna come along,

99
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:30,877
and when it does, we'll know it.

100
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:33,790
It's been over a month.

101
00:08:33,790 --> 00:08:35,515
A-and everything's
either completely
out of our price range

102
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:36,783
or it's a teardown.

103
00:08:36,783 --> 00:08:39,285
I promise we're gonna find
the perfect house,

104
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:41,821
- and we're gonna live
the life of our dreams.
- Yeah?

105
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:45,225
[Jeannie]
Perhaps you'd be willing
to expand your search area?

106
00:08:45,225 --> 00:08:47,594
Or I could pull a few listings
from the next town over.

107
00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:51,464
No, no. This-this feels right.
This-this feels like home.

108
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:54,167
Guys, to be honest,
I've sort of run out of options.

109
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,404
But you seem like you really,
really need to live here,

110
00:08:57,404 --> 00:09:00,607
so I'm gonna recommend
you speak to a friend of mine.

111
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:03,343
Been in this town
for a long time.

112
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:04,811
He knows everybody,

113
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:07,947
and he knows
every single piece of property.

114
00:09:09,416 --> 00:09:11,840
If there's anybody
who can help you find

115
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,753
the home you're looking for,
it's him.

116
00:09:15,155 --> 00:09:16,956
[John] Look at this.
It's like the beginning

117
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:18,224
- of a horror movie.
- [Sera] Tsk.

118
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,860
Hey, honey, I got a great idea.

119
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,629
Let's go visit the dude
we don't know

120
00:09:22,629 --> 00:09:24,898
with the big, scary house
out in the middle of nowhere.

121
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:26,833
What could possibly go wrong?

122
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:28,702
You know what? At this point,
we're so desperate,

123
00:09:28,702 --> 00:09:29,803
I'll take all the help
we can get.

124
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:31,304
- Yeah, I guess so.
- Mm-hmm.

125
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,174
- Holy shit.
- [Sera laughs]

126
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:35,675
Wow.

127
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:38,878
[light instrumental music
playing]

128
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,930
Welcome.

129
00:09:53,930 --> 00:09:55,428
I'm so glad you decided to come.

130
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:56,996
I'm Emmett. Emmett Claymore.

131
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:58,465
- Yeah, John.
- John.

132
00:09:58,465 --> 00:09:59,866
This is my wife, Sera.

133
00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:01,167
- Sera, lovely to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

134
00:10:01,167 --> 00:10:02,635
- Thank you for having us.
- Oh, of course.

135
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:04,537
Please, let's get you inside.

136
00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:05,839
[John chuckles]

137
00:10:12,712 --> 00:10:14,800
[Emmett] All right, here we are.

138
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,160
You don't really see
Jacobethan Revival like this

139
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,183
too much anymore.

140
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:18,752
[Emmett] Well, well, well.

141
00:10:18,752 --> 00:10:20,387
A man who knows
his architecture.

142
00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:22,220
[John laughs] Yeah.

143
00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:24,391
So when was it built?
Early '20s?

144
00:10:24,391 --> 00:10:25,525
1918.

145
00:10:26,393 --> 00:10:29,929
When I first took possession,
she was in sore need of repair.

146
00:10:29,929 --> 00:10:32,465
I spent the better part
of a decade renovating her,

147
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:35,869
but finally managed
to get her restored.

148
00:10:36,803 --> 00:10:39,205
Oh, it's perfect.

149
00:10:41,410 --> 00:10:43,510
- It is kind of cool, isn't it?
- [John] It is.

150
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:44,978
[all chuckle]

151
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:47,447
[Emmett]
So, Jeannie tells me you guys

152
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:49,282
are looking to buy in
our neck of the woods?

153
00:10:49,282 --> 00:10:52,452
Uh, yes. "Looking-looking" being
the operative word there, yes.

154
00:10:52,452 --> 00:10:55,522
We really, really love it here,
but we keep striking out.

155
00:10:55,522 --> 00:10:57,857
Doesn't surprise me.

156
00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:00,600
Real estate around here
is tricky business.

157
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,495
Most of the homes,
they get passed down
generationally.

158
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:06,232
So, you're-you're what?
You're sort of an inside man?
Is that it?

159
00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:07,634
- Something like that.
- Got it.

160
00:11:07,634 --> 00:11:09,202
- Okay.
- No, I have a talent

161
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:11,237
for pairing the right property
with the right people.

162
00:11:11,938 --> 00:11:16,242
And to do that,
I try to get to know
the people that I'm helping.

163
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:17,410
Right.

164
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:19,612
I just recently got my hands
on a '98 Margaux,

165
00:11:19,612 --> 00:11:21,781
and I'd hate to drink it alone.

166
00:11:21,781 --> 00:11:25,785
Okay, might I convince you
to stay for an early dinner?

167
00:11:26,453 --> 00:11:29,189
I thought maybe we could mix
a little business with pleasure.

168
00:11:31,624 --> 00:11:33,593
Yes, yes, we'd love to.

169
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,829
- Terrific.
- [John] Yes.

170
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:37,597
The dining room's right in here.

171
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,707
[Emmett] So, an architect
and a mathematician.

172
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,143
- A seeker...
- Yes.

173
00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:52,112
- ...and a solver.
- [Sera] Mm-hmm.

174
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:54,180
Infinite possibilities
on one hand.

175
00:11:55,248 --> 00:11:57,150
A single solution on the other.

176
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:59,619
What I'd like to know
is how you two work that out.

177
00:11:59,619 --> 00:12:02,689
- [all chuckle]
- Well, I'll put it to you
this way.

178
00:12:02,689 --> 00:12:04,591
- [Emmett] Mm-hmm.
- I'm an impossible
know-it-all...

179
00:12:04,591 --> 00:12:06,493
- [Emmett] Ah.
- ...and this one here
is always right.

180
00:12:06,493 --> 00:12:08,862
- [Emmett chuckles]
- You know,
between the two of us,

181
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:11,364
- we work it out.
- Got it.

182
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:14,601
So, why move
all the way out here?

183
00:12:15,502 --> 00:12:16,569
I mean, you're young.

184
00:12:17,437 --> 00:12:20,400
I would assume the city
would have more appeal for you.

185
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:25,345
Well, we're leaving
one story behind.

186
00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:27,113
We're here to write a new one.

187
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:31,151
Hmm.

188
00:12:31,151 --> 00:12:32,752
Well, then... [inhales deeply]

189
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,422
...here's to this next chapter
in all our lives.

190
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:38,858
- [John] Cheers. Cheers.
- [Sera] Cheers.

191
00:12:38,858 --> 00:12:40,930
Cheers.

192
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:48,902
What's, uh, what's all this?

193
00:12:49,703 --> 00:12:53,340
When they originally laid
the foundation for the house,

194
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:56,776
- the workers unearthed
numerous old artifacts.
- [John] Huh.

195
00:12:56,776 --> 00:13:01,581
[Emmett] Mining tools,
old military weapons,
what have you.

196
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:06,186
It was all stored in a shed
behind the house
until I moved in.

197
00:13:06,986 --> 00:13:09,456
Once the renovations began,

198
00:13:10,156 --> 00:13:12,580
I myself discovered

199
00:13:12,859 --> 00:13:15,362
numerous other remnants
that had been hidden away

200
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:17,897
in the chimneys and the walls.

201
00:13:17,897 --> 00:13:19,999
What are we talking about here?
A suitcase full of money?

202
00:13:19,999 --> 00:13:21,301
[Emmett and John chuckle]

203
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:23,470
- Nothing that exciting.
- No? That's too bad.

204
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:26,506
But I just couldn't bring myself
to throw any of it away,

205
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:30,143
so I turned it
into this showcase.

206
00:13:31,578 --> 00:13:35,810
I like to think of it
as a living record of the house

207
00:13:35,810 --> 00:13:37,217
and its rich history.

208
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:39,786
- It's really cool.
- [Emmett] Yeah.

209
00:13:39,786 --> 00:13:43,656
That's what we're looking for,
you know,
a house with character.

210
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:46,526
Ah, you know what they say
about old houses.

211
00:13:47,270 --> 00:13:48,194
They're like people.

212
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:52,799
They all have
their deep, dark secrets.

213
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,000
[Sera] Mm.

214
00:13:55,902 --> 00:13:58,405
So can I please have
a standing playdate
with this house?

215
00:13:58,405 --> 00:14:01,808
- [John chuckles]
- Well, I don't know.
It depends. I mean...

216
00:14:01,808 --> 00:14:03,510
Well, what if the house
were yours?

217
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:05,979
Should we make an offer?

218
00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:08,140
Yeah, I got, like,
27 bucks on me.

219
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:09,516
Well, he'd be crazy
not to take it.

220
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:11,484
- He would be crazy--
- I would, but let's forget

221
00:14:11,484 --> 00:14:15,422
the financial facts for a moment
and just for the sake
of argument...

222
00:14:15,422 --> 00:14:17,123
[John] Yeah?

223
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:19,125
...what if this house
were yours?

224
00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:22,228
I-I'm sorry, I don't follow.

225
00:14:22,228 --> 00:14:25,932
You just said you were looking
to start a new chapter.

226
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:27,330
- Yeah.
- Okay.

227
00:14:27,330 --> 00:14:30,236
So, my question is,

228
00:14:31,838 --> 00:14:34,207
can a house make you happy?

229
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:38,478
Can this house make you happy?

230
00:14:43,850 --> 00:14:44,951
No, no.

231
00:14:46,152 --> 00:14:50,557
It's not the house
that makes you happy.
It's the-- it's the home.

232
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:51,791
[Emmett] Hmm.

233
00:14:59,299 --> 00:15:02,602
[Sera] How about you?
Has this house made you happy?

234
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:06,639
It did. Once.

235
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:10,377
[John] "It did once"?
What-what happened?
What changed?

236
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,753
I guess my home
has become just a house.

237
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:24,324
Just a house.

238
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,427
[Emmett sighs]

239
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,730
Maybe it'll be different
for the two of you.

240
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:37,504
You've been incredibly generous,
but we should really get going.

241
00:15:37,504 --> 00:15:39,239
- Yeah.
- What kind of a host would I be

242
00:15:39,239 --> 00:15:41,808
if I didn't let my guests
stay here

243
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:43,276
after a night of revelry, hm?

244
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:46,146
- [chuckles] Well--
- Oh, please, listen.

245
00:15:46,146 --> 00:15:50,350
You must stay. The guest rooms
are already made upstairs.
I insist.

246
00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:52,520
You really shouldn't drive.

247
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:55,288
- I mean, I probably
shouldn't drive at this point.
- No, you shouldn't.

248
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:57,323
It's settled. [clears throat]

249
00:15:57,323 --> 00:15:59,325
[clicks tongue]
I'm gonna close up down here.

250
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:01,428
You two have a restful sleep,

251
00:16:01,428 --> 00:16:03,863
and we continue talking
in the morning

252
00:16:03,863 --> 00:16:08,201
because I think I may know
the perfect house for you guys.

253
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:16,242
[both laughing]

254
00:16:16,242 --> 00:16:19,120
Think about it.
Think about it, okay? Like...

255
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:23,350
- Oh, having breakfast
in the gazebo.
- Mm-hmm.

256
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:26,720
- Throwing amazing parties.
- Mm-hmm.

257
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,255
Watching our kids play
in the yard.

258
00:16:29,255 --> 00:16:32,920
- Eh, I mean, maybe a little.
- Shut up.

259
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,495
[chuckles] Do you think
he can really help?

260
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:39,733
Yeah, maybe he can.

261
00:16:42,736 --> 00:16:43,837
What?

262
00:16:45,271 --> 00:16:46,473
I missed you.

263
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:51,678
[romantic music plays]

264
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,716
[car engine starts]

265
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,256
[John] Do you hear that?

266
00:17:07,927 --> 00:17:09,896
Yeah, I don't know.
I think he might have left.

267
00:17:12,232 --> 00:17:13,566
[Sera sighs]

268
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:15,680
[whispers] I don't know.

269
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,690
Emmett?

270
00:17:23,476 --> 00:17:26,112
Emmett, we're taking off.
We just want to say goodbye.

271
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:32,919
- Where is he?
- I don't know.

272
00:17:32,919 --> 00:17:35,622
[John breathes heavily]

273
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:38,725
[John chuckles lightly]

274
00:17:40,794 --> 00:17:42,262
[John] "Dear John and Sera..."

275
00:17:42,262 --> 00:17:45,665
[Emmett] It has been a pleasure
meeting you both,

276
00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:47,901
and in the short time
we spent together,

277
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:50,303
we've shared
a meaningful connection.

278
00:17:50,303 --> 00:17:54,441
You're a lovely couple
with long, happy lives
ahead of you.

279
00:17:54,441 --> 00:17:58,110
In getting to know you,
it's clear you seek change,

280
00:17:58,110 --> 00:18:00,880
a new beginning,
and I'd like to help.

281
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,451
This house represents a past
I wish to leave behind.

282
00:18:04,451 --> 00:18:08,822
My wife used to sit
on that patio every evening,

283
00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:12,258
just to watch the sun go down.

284
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,950
Since I no longer want it,

285
00:18:15,950 --> 00:18:18,898
I'd like to give the house
and everything in it to you.

286
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,638
I do, however,
have one simple condition.

287
00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:28,375
You must never open
the cellar door.

288
00:18:33,113 --> 00:18:36,816
If you observe that condition,
the house is yours to keep.

289
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:40,887
If you break the contract,
however,

290
00:18:40,887 --> 00:18:43,723
the house returns to me
immediately.

291
00:18:45,658 --> 00:18:47,627
I'm sure this is
but a small price to pay

292
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,429
for the chapter
you wish to write.

293
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,332
The decision is yours.

294
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,136
[John] "Sincerely, Emmett."

295
00:18:57,570 --> 00:19:00,730
[birds chirping]

296
00:19:07,781 --> 00:19:10,500
- [thudding]
- [John exhales sharply]

297
00:19:11,170 --> 00:19:12,552
I just, I-I don't understand.

298
00:19:12,552 --> 00:19:15,321
What could be so unimportant,
you just would leave it behind,

299
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:17,791
but so important,
you wouldn't want us to see it?

300
00:19:17,791 --> 00:19:18,925
Who cares?

301
00:19:18,925 --> 00:19:21,940
- Who cares?
- Yeah, who cares?

302
00:19:21,940 --> 00:19:25,665
This-- Look at this place.
This-this could be ours
for nothing.

303
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:27,300
Sera, it's not nothing.

304
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,200
- I don't see the big deal.
- [Jeannie] Yoo-hoo!

305
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,270
Morning, neighbors.

306
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:32,472
Oh, you guys hit the jackpot
or what?

307
00:19:32,472 --> 00:19:35,141
Jeannie, wha-wha--
what is this? Is this a joke?
What's going on?

308
00:19:35,141 --> 00:19:36,910
No, no, no,
it's not a joke at all.

309
00:19:36,910 --> 00:19:39,779
I handle all of Mr. Claymore's
real estate affairs.

310
00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:41,748
I'm here
to collect the paperwork.

311
00:19:41,748 --> 00:19:43,450
- Did you sign?
- No, not yet.

312
00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:44,818
We're discussing it.

313
00:19:44,818 --> 00:19:47,120
- We're discussing this,
actually.
- Oh, well...

314
00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:51,458
- We can handle that.
- Good, because that
is a nonstarter.

315
00:19:52,192 --> 00:19:54,494
- Got it. Can I talk to you
for a second, please?
- Yes.

316
00:19:56,963 --> 00:19:58,465
[Sera] Oh, come on,
you-you were the one that said

317
00:19:58,465 --> 00:20:00,767
that when the perfect thing
came along, that we would know.

318
00:20:00,767 --> 00:20:02,769
Oh, this is not
what I was talking about.

319
00:20:02,769 --> 00:20:04,204
Sera, come on.

320
00:20:04,204 --> 00:20:07,140
Aren't you just
even a little bit creeped out?

321
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:09,709
I mean, ask yourself, why?
Why would he give it away?

322
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:12,545
[Sera] Let's think about this
logically for a-a second, okay?

323
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:15,281
If we buy a cheap house
just so we can get out
of our apartment,

324
00:20:15,281 --> 00:20:16,916
we're gonna have to renovate
that house.

325
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:18,685
That's gonna take, what,
like a year, 18 months?

326
00:20:18,685 --> 00:20:21,388
And then there's
the-the-- the permits
and the construction.

327
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:22,889
And then where are we?

328
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:25,725
And then there's this.

329
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:31,297
We're just in.
[chuckles] We're done.
There's-there's no stress.

330
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:37,671
Baby, we-we sank
all of our savings into IVF.

331
00:20:37,671 --> 00:20:40,373
If we have any hope
of trying again.

332
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:46,846
I slept for the first time
in weeks. So did you.

333
00:20:46,846 --> 00:20:48,348
Yeah, I did, but...

334
00:20:49,816 --> 00:20:52,585
it is just--
It doesn't make any sense.

335
00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:57,290
It's always gonna be you and me,
whatever we decide. Together.

336
00:20:59,993 --> 00:21:02,280
But, baby, we can heal here.

337
00:21:04,564 --> 00:21:07,000
[light piano music plays]

338
00:21:09,736 --> 00:21:12,238
- All right, thank you so much.
- You are gonna be
so very happy here.

339
00:21:12,238 --> 00:21:14,507
- [Sera laughs]
- You are gonna be
happy here. Yes.

340
00:21:14,507 --> 00:21:16,109
And if there's anything
at all you need, call me.

341
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:17,210
[Sera] Yes,
I have your number.

342
00:21:19,790 --> 00:21:20,447
Thank you. [light chuckle]

343
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:22,482
- [Sera] Emailed, yes.
- [Jeannie] All right.

344
00:21:22,482 --> 00:21:24,317
- Thank you. Oh, good luck
with everything.
- Oh, okay, Jeannie, bye.

345
00:21:24,317 --> 00:21:27,153
- Oh, golly. Good luck. Bye.
- Thank you. Bye.

346
00:21:28,688 --> 00:21:30,230
- This place is ours.
- [laughing]

347
00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:31,791
This is ours!

348

[both laughing]

349
00:21:33,426 --> 00:21:36,262

- Oh, my God.

Hmm...

357
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:20,600
[Sera exhales deeply] Hey.

358
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,776
Oh, those don't go in here.

359
00:22:22,776 --> 00:22:24,177
- These don't go in here?
- Uh-uh.

360
00:22:24,177 --> 00:22:26,312
They go in the office.

361
00:22:26,312 --> 00:22:27,881
Oh, is that why
they say "office" on them?

362
00:22:27,881 --> 00:22:29,549
- Yeah.
- Okay.

00:24:10,850 --> 00:24:12,886
- [Sera] So happy
you guys are here.
- The house is great.

372
00:24:12,886 --> 00:24:14,254
- [John] Oh, thank you. Yeah.
- [Sera] Thank you.

373
00:24:14,254 --> 00:24:15,655
Well, if you need a refill,
um, booze is over there.

374
00:24:15,655 --> 00:24:17,223
- [woman] Oh, perfect. Awesome.
- Yes.

375
00:24:17,223 --> 00:24:18,758
- [woman] All right,
see you in a bit.
- [John] See ya.

376
00:24:18,758 --> 00:24:19,759
- [Sera] Yeah, yeah.
- Are you kidding me?

377
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:20,927
This place is incredible.

378
00:24:20,927 --> 00:24:22,562
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, it's pretty great.

379
00:24:22,562 --> 00:24:24,640
- Uh, you remember
my wife, Sera?
- [Sera] Hi.

380
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,799
- Yeah, of course.
- Hi. Good to see you.

381
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:28,702
Hey, I'm sorry we're late. Uh...

382
00:24:28,702 --> 00:24:29,936
- [Alyssa] Hi.
- Hi.

383
00:24:31,571 --> 00:24:33,106
Hi, I'm Alyssa.
I work with John.

384
00:24:33,106 --> 00:24:37,444
Yes. Sera. Yes, I think
we met at a company party.

385
00:24:37,444 --> 00:24:39,245
I got you a housewarming gift.

386
00:24:39,245 --> 00:24:40,847
It's jasmine. It's my favorite.

387
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:43,917
Oh, that's very sweet of you.
Thank you.

388
00:24:45,952 --> 00:24:48,121
You guys,
please go grab some drinks.

389
00:24:48,121 --> 00:24:50,900
- After you.
- Mm.

390
00:24:52,926 --> 00:24:54,127
Here, hold it.

391
00:24:56,262 --> 00:24:58,131
- Hey.
- [Alyssa] Hi.

392
00:24:58,131 --> 00:24:59,566
What are you doing here?

393
00:24:59,566 --> 00:25:00,767
Well, Zac invited me.

394
00:25:00,767 --> 00:25:02,836
What was I supposed to do,
turn him down?

395
00:25:02,836 --> 00:25:04,938
[exhales] Uh, yeah, well...

396
00:25:04,938 --> 00:25:07,707
Well, you told me
I should move on, so...

397
00:25:09,676 --> 00:25:12,545
- Besides, I wanted to see you.
- [sighs]

398
00:25:12,545 --> 00:25:15,148
I heard about what happened
and I was worried.

399
00:25:16,316 --> 00:25:18,510
I'm okay. I'm okay.

400
00:25:19,152 --> 00:25:20,120
Okay.

401
00:25:21,621 --> 00:25:23,560
Well, you know I'm here for you.

402
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:25,458
For whatever you might need.

403
00:25:26,393 --> 00:25:30,960
You just have to understand,
the last time,
it was the last time.

404
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,633
And what I need is for you
to leave me alone, okay?

405
00:25:35,235 --> 00:25:36,703
[John sighs]

406
00:25:36,703 --> 00:25:37,937
[Steven] John?

407
00:25:38,772 --> 00:25:39,906
- John?
- Yeah?

408
00:25:39,906 --> 00:25:41,574
You need to come outside
right now.

Who is this?

414
00:25:58,358 --> 00:25:59,759
I-I think
we should call the police.

415
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:01,194
No, no, no, I got it.

416
00:26:05,398 --> 00:26:06,633
Can I help you, man?

417
00:26:07,867 --> 00:26:10,236
Hey, buddy.
What's going on? You lost?

418
00:26:12,305 --> 00:26:13,773
What's going on?

[soft chuckle]

420
00:26:19,579 --> 00:26:20,780
I'm sorry.

421
00:26:22,315 --> 00:26:24,170
It's okay, it's okay.

422
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:30,223
You gotta burn it down
before it's too late.

423
00:26:31,624 --> 00:26:32,826
What?

424
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,863
You gotta burn it down
before it's too late.

425
00:26:36,863 --> 00:26:39,666
It's not worth the price.

426
00:26:39,666 --> 00:26:41,301
It will destroy you.

427

Did anyone call the police?

430
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:22,308
Oh, hey.

- Hi.
- Hi.

432
00:27:23,543 --> 00:27:25,311
Good morning.

433
00:27:25,311 --> 00:27:26,613
You must be the new neighbor.

434
00:27:26,613 --> 00:27:27,881
- Yes.
- Kathryn Conrad.

435
00:27:27,881 --> 00:27:29,616
- Hi, Sera Winter.
- Nice to meet you.

436
00:27:29,616 --> 00:27:30,684
We're right over there.

437
00:27:30,684 --> 00:27:32,520
- Oh, great.
- Yeah.

438
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,687
I've been meaning to come by
and say hi in person,

439
00:27:33,687 --> 00:27:36,389
but my husband said
I should let you guys
settle in first.

440
00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:39,250
- [both laugh]
- You both have to come over
for drinks.

441
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:41,194
- Yeah, yeah, we'd love to.
- Yeah? Okay, great.

442
00:27:41,194 --> 00:27:43,329
- I'm gonna reach out
with some times.
- Okay.

443
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:44,898
Oh, God, you seem so nice.

444
00:27:44,898 --> 00:27:46,566
I hope you guys stick around.

Yeah.

446
00:27:50,337 --> 00:27:51,538

Yeah?

452
00:28:11,424 --> 00:28:13,793
HR's waiting for you
in the other conference room.

453
00:28:13,793 --> 00:28:15,729
Great, thank you.

454
00:28:16,229 --> 00:28:18,598
[John] ***ual harassment?
Are you serious?

455
00:28:18,598 --> 00:28:20,233
Goddamn it.

456
00:28:21,201 --> 00:28:23,690
I cannot believe
I'm gonna lose my job over this.

457
00:28:23,690 --> 00:28:25,839
Look, hey, it's just
a temporary suspension, okay?

458
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:26,906
Just until they complete
their little investigation.

459
00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:28,800
Are you kidding me?

460
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,476
We both know how this goes.

461
00:28:29,476 --> 00:28:31,544
- It's her word against mine.
- I know, I know. I--

462
00:28:31,544 --> 00:28:34,748
I mean, if I'm such a threat,
why is she coming to my house?

463
00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:37,250
- Why?
- [thuds]

464
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:40,186
[Steven]
That's all well and true,
but you got a bigger problem.

465
00:28:41,488 --> 00:28:42,989
What are you gonna tell Sera?

00:29:18,458 --> 00:29:20,126
I'm going back to work.

You're going back to work?

Wow, that's amazing.

Yeah, it is,

I might kill one of us.

For all this?

487

I wouldn't even question it.

what might be down there?

No, no clue,

It's gotta be something.

I just know,
if I could talk to her,

Maybe paint the nursery.

That's what this is about?

There's got to be something
down there, Sera.
Think about it.

How would he even know
if we looked?

You only want to look because
you're being asked not to.

No, I wanna know
why we're being asked not to.

553
00:34:16,122 --> 00:34:20,794
Because it's the one condition
on which we get to keep
this house.

00:34:20,794 --> 00:34:22,529
- And we agreed to it.

It's called

It's a small,

and seemingly unpredictable
systems

577
00:35:26,926 --> 00:35:30,864
have behaviors that can,
in principle, be predicted.

578

Emmett Claymore lived there.

589

I haven't heard that name
in a long time. Not since...

590
00:36:16,676 --> 00:36:19,913
- What?
- Must be 25 years ago now.

591
00:36:19,913 --> 00:36:22,982
Had a happy marriage
as far as anyone could tell.

592
00:36:22,982 --> 00:36:24,117
But then his wife...

593
00:36:25,218 --> 00:36:28,855
up and left him. Took their
five-year-old daughter
with her too.

594
00:36:28,855 --> 00:36:30,357
Do you know what happened?

00:36:30,357 --> 00:36:33,760
No idea. Ran off
in the middle of the night.

00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,562
Never saw them again.

[John] Hmm.

00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:46,720
Okay. Thank you so much
for your help. I appreciate it.

600

I know
that this seems theoretical.

Maybe even impenetrable.

602
00:36:51,811 --> 00:36:53,613
I mean,
it's definitely overwhelming.

00:37:03,256 --> 00:37:04,758

So let me-let me break it down

605
00:37:04,758 --> 00:37:09,262

a little more relatable,
digestible.

where only the start
or the ending is given.

[John] Yeah, in here.

- Hey.
- You're home early.

637
00:39:48,955 --> 00:39:52,250
Yeah. Uh, I had
an inspection finish early,

638
00:39:52,250 --> 00:39:54,361
so I got out of there.

639
00:39:55,128 --> 00:39:56,996
- Nice surprise.
- Yeah.

640

[John chuckles] Hi.

641
00:39:58,531 --> 00:40:00,233
Hey, can you help me
with the rest of the stuff
that's in the car?

642
00:40:00,233 --> 00:40:01,701
Yeah, of course. Yeah.

[whispering] Hey.

647
00:40:25,291 --> 00:40:26,693
[Alyssa] What do you want?

648
00:40:27,293 --> 00:40:29,620
[exhales sharply]
We need to talk.

649
00:40:29,620 --> 00:40:30,630
So, talk.

650
00:40:30,630 --> 00:40:32,365
No, no, no, not like this.
In person.

651
00:40:32,365 --> 00:40:34,267
I don't think
that's a good idea.

652
00:40:34,267 --> 00:40:36,636
You're a threat to me, remember?

653
00:40:36,636 --> 00:40:39,720
Alyssa, give me
a chance here, okay?

654
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:40,640
Please? Let me talk to you.

655
00:40:42,208 --> 00:40:43,476
Fine.

656
00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:46,746
Tomorrow, two o'clock.

00:40:46,746 --> 00:40:47,881
Where?

658
00:40:47,881 --> 00:40:49,215
You know where.

659
00:40:49,215 --> 00:40:51,351
Our favorite place to park.

What are we doing here?

665
00:41:29,322 --> 00:41:30,890
You tell me. You wanted to meet.

666
00:41:30,890 --> 00:41:33,927
No, no, no,
you know what I mean.

667
00:41:33,927 --> 00:41:36,129
I mean, what are we doing here?
Wha-what?

668
00:41:36,129 --> 00:41:39,966
Well, I-- I just--
I don't understand. Why?

669
00:41:39,966 --> 00:41:42,769
- Why?
- Yeah, why are you doing this
to me?

670
00:41:44,370 --> 00:41:45,705
Because you're a ****ing liar,
John.

671
00:41:45,705 --> 00:41:48,808
I know that I hurt you.
I know that I did. I know it.

672
00:41:48,808 --> 00:41:50,610
And I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

673
00:41:50,610 --> 00:41:52,812
But you can't go around
making up stuff about me

674
00:41:52,812 --> 00:41:54,681
that we both know isn't true.

675
00:41:54,681 --> 00:41:56,383
You just can't do that.

676
00:41:56,383 --> 00:41:58,284
We wanted the same thing.

677
00:41:58,284 --> 00:41:59,519
[John sighs]

678
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:00,620
A life together.

679
00:42:00,620 --> 00:42:02,188
- The house, the kids.
- Yeah.

680
00:42:02,188 --> 00:42:03,523
Like we talked about.

681
00:42:03,523 --> 00:42:05,158
Why can't you just admit
that you're unhappy,

682
00:42:05,158 --> 00:42:08,928
and that is why
you make your way back to me
every single time?

683
00:42:08,928 --> 00:42:09,929
Alyssa.

684
00:42:13,330 --> 00:42:15,268
No one makes me feel
the way you do. No one.

685
00:42:15,268 --> 00:42:18,204
What we have is undeniable.
There's no question.

686
00:42:19,372 --> 00:42:20,740
But I love my wife.

687
00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:24,344
I love her.
And that's never gonna change.

688
00:42:24,344 --> 00:42:25,712
You gotta understand that.

689
00:42:25,712 --> 00:42:27,470
You love me too.

690
00:42:27,814 --> 00:42:29,449
You told me you did.

691
00:42:29,449 --> 00:42:32,352
And we fit together, John.
You know we do.

692
00:42:32,352 --> 00:42:34,540
We know each other's secrets.

693
00:42:34,540 --> 00:42:36,890
You're gonna regret it
for the rest of your life
if you don't chance.

694
00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:39,592
I need you to hear me.
I need you to hear me
right now, okay?

695
00:42:39,592 --> 00:42:42,529
I'm never gonna leave Sera
for you. Ever.

696
00:42:42,529 --> 00:42:43,930
It's not gonna happen.

697
00:42:43,930 --> 00:42:46,660
Get it through your head.
It ain't gonna happen.

698
00:42:46,660 --> 00:42:47,901
Was I supposed to get it
through my head

699
00:42:47,901 --> 00:42:51,271
when you were ****ing me
behind her back over and over?

700
00:42:51,271 --> 00:42:54,207
Goddamn it.
Will you shut the **** up?
This is my life here.

701
00:42:54,207 --> 00:42:56,900
This is my ****ing life too.

702
00:42:58,411 --> 00:42:59,679
And it's Sera's life.

703
00:43:01,281 --> 00:43:03,817
And I'm gonna make sure
she knows who you really are.

704
00:43:03,817 --> 00:43:06,553
If you go anywhere near my wife,
I will ****ing kill you.

705
00:43:06,553 --> 00:43:08,755
Do you understand me?
I will ****ing kill you.

706
00:43:10,890 --> 00:43:12,859
Get your hands off me.

Hey, I'm gonna go hit the trails
over in Millbrook.

715
00:44:06,946 --> 00:44:09,315
Why don't you tell me
the real reason you're going?

716
00:44:10,417 --> 00:44:11,384
What's that?

717
00:44:14,954 --> 00:44:16,890
You're trying to skip out
on taping duty.

00:54:45,385 --> 00:54:47,354
[Sera] Okay. So, on the left,

790
00:54:47,354 --> 00:54:50,724
there's more of like a deeper,
sagey green.

791
00:54:50,724 --> 00:54:53,793
And then on the right,
it's-it's like minty.
It's lighter.

792
00:54:54,928 --> 00:54:55,929
Which one do you prefer?

793
00:54:56,896 --> 00:55:00,100
Oh. Uh... [chuckles]

794
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:01,768
Uh, no, I like them both. Um...

795
00:55:01,768 --> 00:55:04,204
- Okay.
- Probably the one on the right.

796
00:55:04,204 --> 00:55:05,505
Yes! Okay, good.

797
00:55:05,505 --> 00:55:08,141
- Um, so, crib over here.
- Yeah.

798
00:55:08,141 --> 00:55:10,276
- Yeah.
- And then changing table,

799
00:55:10,276 --> 00:55:12,245
rocking chair right there.

800
00:55:12,245 --> 00:55:13,713
- [John] Mm-hmm.
- What?

801
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:16,182
What?

802
00:55:16,182 --> 00:55:18,918
[inhales deeply]
Uh, I don't know.

803
00:55:18,918 --> 00:55:22,122
This-this feels a bit early.

804
00:55:22,122 --> 00:55:23,656
- Is it too early for all this?
- No.

805
00:55:23,656 --> 00:55:26,760
- You sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.

806
00:55:27,827 --> 00:55:30,563
I love you for worrying,
but it's all good.

807
00:55:30,563 --> 00:55:32,320
I'm stronger than I look.

808
00:55:34,167 --> 00:55:35,402
We're gonna be good.

809
00:55:36,136 --> 00:55:37,170
[cell phone vibrating]

810
00:55:37,170 --> 00:55:38,505
Okay.

811
00:55:40,874 --> 00:55:41,841
Work.

812
00:55:45,879 --> 00:55:46,980
Yeah? This is John.

813
00:55:46,980 --> 00:55:48,381
[over phone]
Yes, it's Mrs. Taylor from HR.

814
00:55:48,381 --> 00:55:50,216
- Yeah?
- I wanted to inform you,

815
00:55:50,216 --> 00:55:52,552
- you've been cleared
in the investigation.
- [relieved sigh]

816
00:55:52,552 --> 00:55:54,154
- Are you serious?
- Yes.

817
00:55:54,154 --> 00:55:55,655
- Are you able
to start on Monday?
- [chuckles] Okay.

818
00:55:55,655 --> 00:55:57,657
- Yes, absolutely, yes.
- Okay.

819
00:55:57,657 --> 00:55:59,659
Of course. Thank you. Um...

820
00:56:00,393 --> 00:56:01,661
I'll see you Monday.

821
00:56:03,163 --> 00:56:04,330
Okay.

822
00:56:06,199 --> 00:56:07,100
[sighs]

823
00:56:09,536 --> 00:56:10,704
Sorry about that.

824
00:56:11,271 --> 00:56:12,639
- All okay?
- Yeah, all good.

825
00:56:12,639 --> 00:56:15,408
Just some drama at work,
but all good now.

826
00:56:15,408 --> 00:56:16,743
Oh, okay.

827
00:56:16,743 --> 00:56:19,646
- Um, will you hold this
on that side?
- Sure.

828
00:56:20,313 --> 00:56:21,614
Thank you.

829
00:56:22,716 --> 00:56:25,185
[loud drilling in distance]

830
00:56:25,185 --> 00:56:28,755
- Hey, hey. Welcome back,
my man. [chuckles]
- [John] Thank you.

831
00:56:28,755 --> 00:56:29,789
There he is.

832
00:56:29,789 --> 00:56:31,124
- Good to see you.
- Yeah.

833
00:56:31,124 --> 00:56:33,426
Listen, what'd I tell you?
Trust the process.

834
00:56:33,426 --> 00:56:35,462
I don't know.
I still don't really believe it.

835
00:56:35,462 --> 00:56:37,630
Yeah, well, apparently,

836
00:56:37,630 --> 00:56:40,567
Alyssa's infatuation with you
was an open secret.

837
00:56:40,567 --> 00:56:42,836
- No one bought her sob story.
- [sneers]

838
00:56:43,870 --> 00:56:45,505
Have you-have you seen her yet?

839
00:56:45,505 --> 00:56:46,706
- No.
- No?

840
00:56:46,706 --> 00:56:49,209
- No, she was out all last week.
- Right.

841
00:56:49,209 --> 00:56:51,678
- "Self-care," they say.
- Right.

842
00:56:51,678 --> 00:56:53,580
I know HR tried to reach her
over the weekend,

843
00:56:53,580 --> 00:56:55,882
but she's-she's ducking
their calls.

844
00:56:55,882 --> 00:56:58,451
I'm guessing she caught wind
of their decision.

845
00:56:58,451 --> 00:57:00,286
But you know who is back?

846
00:57:00,286 --> 00:57:02,880
- You, rock star.
- Me.

847
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:03,623
- Lunch is on me.
- Okay.

848
00:57:03,623 --> 00:57:05,258
Okay? And we can pretend
all this bullshit
never happened.

849
00:57:05,258 --> 00:57:08,328
- Please.
- All right. Until then,
get back to work.

850
00:57:08,328 --> 00:57:09,629
- Okay.
- All right.

851
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,870
[John] You think
Emmett's gonna care
if we toss his painting?

852
00:57:16,870 --> 00:57:19,390
[Sera]
Uh, remove the painting, please.

853
00:57:19,572 --> 00:57:20,740
[John] Okay.

854
00:57:25,145 --> 00:57:26,112
[Sera] What?

855
00:57:26,780 --> 00:57:28,810
What the hell is that?

856
00:57:29,315 --> 00:57:30,817
[John] Mmm.

857
00:57:43,290 --> 00:57:44,640
[Sera] What is it?

858
00:57:53,473 --> 00:57:54,641
Jesus.

859
00:57:57,177 --> 00:57:59,312
- You're overreacting.
- I'm overreacting?

860
00:57:59,312 --> 00:58:02,282
- Yes.
- We just found a bullet hole
in our wall.

861
00:58:02,282 --> 00:58:04,500
Why would we not call
the police?

862
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:06,586
Because there's probably
a rational explanation

863
00:58:06,586 --> 00:58:09,422
that doesn't require
you going nuclear, John.

864
00:58:09,422 --> 00:58:10,857
Seriously.

865
00:58:12,359 --> 00:58:14,394
Hear me out, okay?
Just hear me out.

866
00:58:14,394 --> 00:58:17,197
I have heard
that Emmett's wife and daughter,

867
00:58:17,197 --> 00:58:18,531
they left him 25 years ago.

868
00:58:18,531 --> 00:58:20,867
No one has seen them since.
No one.

869
00:58:20,867 --> 00:58:22,402
That doesn't strike you as odd?

870
00:58:22,402 --> 00:58:24,771
So you think
that he murdered them

871
00:58:24,771 --> 00:58:26,773
and they're buried
in our basement?

872
00:58:28,241 --> 00:58:29,676
Yes, I think it's possible.

873
00:58:29,676 --> 00:58:32,879
Well, don't you think the police
would have investigated?

874
00:58:32,879 --> 00:58:35,749
- I don't know.
- You-you've gotta drop this.

875
00:58:35,749 --> 00:58:37,830
You know, I'm not doing this.

876
00:58:37,830 --> 00:58:38,518
I'm not going down
the rabbit hole with you.

877
00:58:38,518 --> 00:58:39,853
This is what you do.

878
00:58:39,853 --> 00:58:41,121
- This is what I do?
What do I do?
- Yes.

879
00:58:41,121 --> 00:58:43,189
Instead of seeking
rational explanations,

880
00:58:43,189 --> 00:58:44,724
you-you leap to conclusions.

881
00:58:44,724 --> 00:58:47,861
And-and most of the time,
it's fine because I love you.

882
00:58:48,561 --> 00:58:50,263
But I can't do this.

883
00:58:50,263 --> 00:58:52,599
The next eight months
are gonna be stressful enough,
so please...

884
00:58:55,602 --> 00:58:57,504
Please just drop it.

885
00:59:07,781 --> 00:59:10,116
Okay. It's dropped.

886
00:59:11,518 --> 00:59:12,719
It's dropped.

887
00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:18,525
[sighs]

888
00:59:21,728 --> 00:59:25,231
[soft music plays]

889
00:59:51,758 --> 00:59:54,260
Two steps forward,
one step back.
You know how it is.

890
00:59:54,260 --> 00:59:55,729
Yeah, that's how that goes.

891
00:59:56,529 --> 00:59:58,665
- [Steven] Uh, hey, Kiah.
- [Kiah] Yeah.

892
00:59:58,665 --> 01:00:00,500
What's going on?

893
01:00:00,500 --> 01:00:02,135
- You haven't heard?
- No.

894
01:00:02,769 --> 01:00:06,506
They found Alyssa's car
abandoned somewhere upstate.

895
01:00:06,506 --> 01:00:08,675
They think
she may have committed suicide.

896
01:00:09,409 --> 01:00:11,911
[indistinct chatter]

897
01:00:17,384 --> 01:00:19,619
[Kathryn] I fell asleep
on the ferry ride home.

898
01:00:19,619 --> 01:00:21,654
- [Sera] No.
- [chuckles] I did.

899
01:00:21,654 --> 01:00:25,492
If it wasn't for some guy
who woke me up,
I'd probably end up in Canada.

900
01:00:25,492 --> 01:00:27,930
[Kathryn laughs]

901
01:00:28,828 --> 01:00:31,970
Okay, I've-I've been meaning
to ask you something.

902
01:00:31,970 --> 01:00:34,534
Um, when we first met,
you-you said something.

903
01:00:34,534 --> 01:00:36,669
Oh, boy. Me and my big mouth.

904
01:00:36,669 --> 01:00:37,971
I hope I didn't say anything
too offensive.

905
01:00:37,971 --> 01:00:39,439
No, no, no. It's the opposite.

906
01:00:39,439 --> 01:00:43,143
You-you actually said, "I-I hope
you guys stick around."

907
01:00:44,611 --> 01:00:46,112
- Oh.
- What'd you mean by that?

908
01:00:48,181 --> 01:00:51,951
Just that we didn't wanna lose
you guys, you know,
like the others. I...

909
01:00:52,619 --> 01:00:54,487
What do you mean?
What-what others?

910
01:00:54,487 --> 01:00:55,922
The other families.

911
01:00:55,922 --> 01:00:57,924
You know, there's been
a handful of 'em over the years.

912
01:00:57,924 --> 01:00:59,893
The MacManuses
were the last ones.

913
01:00:59,893 --> 01:01:01,561
Super nice couple.

914
01:01:01,561 --> 01:01:03,630
Oh, fun, fun, fun.

915
01:01:03,630 --> 01:01:06,666
And then one day,
they were just gone.

916
01:01:06,666 --> 01:01:09,436
No goodbye. No nothing.

917
01:01:09,436 --> 01:01:12,539
- Although, [whispers]
I suspected marital trouble.
- Oh.

918
01:01:12,539 --> 01:01:16,420
- I did. But you two
seem happy as clams.
- [chuckles]

919
01:01:16,420 --> 01:01:20,113
And I get such a kick
running into John
on my daily runs.

920
01:01:20,113 --> 01:01:23,883
Oh, my God, he must love
working from home. Oh!

921
01:01:23,883 --> 01:01:25,852
- Mm.
- I'm sorry?

922
01:01:25,852 --> 01:01:27,987
We cross paths
running around lunch,

923
01:01:27,987 --> 01:01:30,123
but I haven't seen him
in the last few weeks.

924
01:01:30,724 --> 01:01:31,891
Huh.

925
01:01:32,892 --> 01:01:34,928
[ominous music plays]

926
01:01:36,963 --> 01:01:38,398
[muffled]
Is everything all right?

927
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:48,975
[in normal voice]
Is something going on with John?

928
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:51,745
Uh, no.

929
01:01:51,745 --> 01:01:54,114
No, no. I, uh... I'm sorry.

930
01:01:54,114 --> 01:01:57,830
I-I-- I didn't realize
how much John was running.

931
01:01:57,830 --> 01:01:59,520
Oh. [gasps]

932
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,121
- It's my yoga instructor.
- Okay.

933
01:02:01,121 --> 01:02:03,990
- And he is so ****ing hot.
- [both laugh]

934
01:02:03,990 --> 01:02:05,580
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

935
01:02:05,580 --> 01:02:06,259
I'm gonna go namaste him.

936
01:02:06,259 --> 01:02:10,960
[Kathryn laughs]
So good to see you here.

937
01:02:14,601 --> 01:02:17,771
[ominous music continues]

938
01:02:26,279 --> 01:02:27,313
[music fades]

939
01:02:38,124 --> 01:02:39,759
I heard about
that girl you work with.

940
01:02:39,759 --> 01:02:41,795
The news said she was missing.

941
01:02:43,163 --> 01:02:44,197
Yeah.

942
01:02:44,197 --> 01:02:46,990
Yeah, we just found out
about it today.

943
01:02:47,534 --> 01:02:49,269
It's terrible. [sighs]

944
01:02:51,338 --> 01:02:53,106
Do the police know
what happened?

945
01:02:54,107 --> 01:02:55,575
No, I don't think so. I mean...

946
01:02:56,343 --> 01:03:00,113
they talked
to some people today,
and no one seems to know much.

947
01:03:00,113 --> 01:03:02,549
Yeah, we're hoping she's okay.

948
01:03:02,549 --> 01:03:05,151
Yeah. I bet.

949

[sighs]

958
01:04:33,106 --> 01:04:36,676
It's the same bullet, Sera.
It's an exact match.

959
01:04:36,676 --> 01:04:37,844
That doesn't worry you?

960
01:04:37,844 --> 01:04:39,579
Uh, okay,
so it's-it's the same brand.

961
01:04:39,579 --> 01:04:41,247
That doesn't mean
that Emmett murdered his family

962
01:04:41,247 --> 01:04:42,982
or that they're buried
in the basement.

963
01:04:43,616 --> 01:04:45,852
Yeah, but it's pretty damn
compelling, don't you think?

964
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,622
Why would he just leave it
in plain sight?
That makes no sense.

965
01:04:49,622 --> 01:04:52,225
I don't know. I don't know.

966
01:04:56,896 --> 01:04:58,398
- Let's look.
- Fine. You wanna look?

967
01:04:58,398 --> 01:05:00,400
- Yeah, why not? Let's look.
- Why?

968
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,402
Because we'd lose
the house, John.

969
01:05:02,402 --> 01:05:05,271
We would lose everything.
Do you really want that?

970
01:05:06,473 --> 01:05:07,974
[doorbell rings]

973
01:05:17,684 --> 01:05:18,885
Mrs. Winter?

974
01:05:20,153 --> 01:05:22,880
I'm Detective Stark.
This is Detective Weiland.

975
01:05:23,289 --> 01:05:26,590
We'd like to speak
with your husband. Is he home?

976
01:05:28,194 --> 01:05:30,764
Yeah. Uh, hi, I-I'm John Winter.
How can I help you?

977
01:05:30,764 --> 01:05:33,666
We'd like to ask you
a few questions,
if you don't mind.

978
01:05:33,666 --> 01:05:36,690
Yeah, of course. Come on in.

979
01:05:37,637 --> 01:05:38,638
Please.

980
01:05:41,675 --> 01:05:42,642
Uh...

981
01:05:44,811 --> 01:05:45,979
Please.

982
01:05:46,579 --> 01:05:47,547
In here.

983
01:05:59,392 --> 01:06:02,362
Can I get you anything?
A coffee? Water? Tea?

984
01:06:02,362 --> 01:06:04,264
No, ma'am, we're fine.
Thank you.

985
01:06:04,264 --> 01:06:07,670
If you don't mind,
we'd prefer to speak
with your husband alone.

986
01:06:09,235 --> 01:06:11,371
Oh. Uh, yeah, of course.

987
01:06:26,820 --> 01:06:28,154
What's this about?

988
01:06:28,154 --> 01:06:30,230
[Stark] Looking into
a missing persons report.

989
01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:31,725
Do you know Alyssa Hayes?

990
01:06:31,725 --> 01:06:33,593
[John] Of course.
We work at the same company.

991
01:06:34,394 --> 01:06:36,363
[Stark] A friend reported
her missing last week.

992
01:06:36,363 --> 01:06:39,320
- [John clears throat]
- We found her car, but we're
still trying to locate her.

993
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,301
We understand
Miss Hayes recently filed

994
01:06:41,301 --> 01:06:43,536
a ***ual harassment claim
against you.

995
01:06:43,536 --> 01:06:44,471
Yeah.

996
01:06:46,506 --> 01:06:50,677
We dated a-a while back,
and, uh, when I broke it off,

997
01:06:50,677 --> 01:06:53,246
she had trouble moving on,
especially after I met Sera.

998
01:06:53,246 --> 01:06:56,649
Last fall,
she made a pass at me,

999
01:06:56,649 --> 01:06:58,651
and I turned her down.

1000
01:06:58,651 --> 01:07:00,754
And, uh, after that, she made up
all this stuff about me.

1001
01:07:00,754 --> 01:07:04,991
The company did
an investigation,
and I was-I was cleared.

1002
01:07:05,992 --> 01:07:09,696
[Weiland] Did you have
any contact with Miss Hayes
during the investigation?

1003
01:07:09,696 --> 01:07:11,698
I did. I-I-- I did.

1004
01:07:11,698 --> 01:07:16,169
I, uh, called her, like,
a week or two ago,
and I left a voicemail.

1005
01:07:17,337 --> 01:07:19,606
[Stark] What about the call
on March 18th?

1006
01:07:19,606 --> 01:07:20,607
[John sighs]

1007
01:07:20,607 --> 01:07:22,642
I don't know. I'm sorry.
I-I don't know.

1008
01:07:22,642 --> 01:07:24,811
According to Miss Hayes's
cell phone records,

1009
01:07:24,811 --> 01:07:28,480
you spoke with her during
the morning hours of March 18th.

1010
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:29,282
Is that correct?

1011
01:07:30,750 --> 01:07:33,386
Sure, yeah. I wanted
to straighten things out.

1012
01:07:35,188 --> 01:07:36,756
It was a 30-second call.

1013
01:07:38,224 --> 01:07:40,493
I can't imagine
how much was straightened out.

1014
01:07:41,227 --> 01:07:44,431
Yeah, that's true. We, uh,
agreed to meet in person.

1015
01:07:44,431 --> 01:07:47,670
[Stark] And did you?
Meet in person?

1016
01:07:47,901 --> 01:07:52,380
I mean, you haven't been
in the office for five weeks, correct?

1017
01:07:52,380 --> 01:07:54,674
- So you had plenty of time.
- [John exhales]

1018
01:07:55,608 --> 01:07:56,409
Yeah.

1019
01:07:56,409 --> 01:07:58,211
Alyssa drove up, and we-we met

1020
01:07:58,211 --> 01:08:00,280
in a nearby
underground parking garage.

1021
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,916
[Stark] And this is Saturday,
March 18th?

1022
01:08:02,916 --> 01:08:04,584
That's what it says, yes.

1023
01:08:04,584 --> 01:08:05,585
[Weiland] What time?

1024
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:08,555
2:00 p.m.

1025
01:08:10,523 --> 01:08:12,325
Walk us through
your conversation.

1026
01:08:12,325 --> 01:08:14,940
[John] No, like I said,
I just wanted to talk to her.

1027
01:08:14,940 --> 01:08:18,598
I wanted to let her know
how this was impacting my life,
my career. Uh...

1028
01:08:19,566 --> 01:08:22,135
At one point, she agreed
to drop the allegations

1029
01:08:22,135 --> 01:08:23,636
if I went back with her.

1030
01:08:23,636 --> 01:08:28,208
I-I refused, and she got
very upset, and she drove off.

1031
01:08:28,208 --> 01:08:30,910
[Weiland] Was that the last time
you saw her?

1032
01:08:30,910 --> 01:08:32,112
Yes.

1033
01:08:34,447 --> 01:08:36,483
According to phone records,
her cell pinged a tower

1034
01:08:36,483 --> 01:08:38,585
in this neighborhood
the following day.

1035
01:08:39,552 --> 01:08:43,123
Like I said,
the last time I saw her
was when she drove off.

1036
01:08:43,890 --> 01:08:45,358
[Weiland] What about you?

1037
01:08:45,358 --> 01:08:47,394
Where were you on March 19th?

1038
01:08:49,290 --> 01:08:50,563
I'm sorry.
Am I-am I a suspect here?

1039
01:08:50,563 --> 01:08:52,932
- [Stark] It's a simple
question, Mr. Winter.
- Okay.

1040
01:08:52,932 --> 01:08:57,203
Where were you
during the afternoon hours
of March 19th?

1041
01:08:57,203 --> 01:08:59,305
Here. I was here.

1042
01:09:00,106 --> 01:09:02,242
Can anyone corroborate this?

1043
01:09:05,111 --> 01:09:07,247
[tense music intensifies]

1044
01:09:07,247 --> 01:09:09,749
Yep. Yes.

1045
01:09:09,749 --> 01:09:11,184
I was with him.

1046
01:09:11,184 --> 01:09:16,890
We recently found out
we're pregnant,
so, um, he was home.

1047
01:09:16,890 --> 01:09:18,291
We're just finishing up
some house projects.

1048
01:09:21,227 --> 01:09:22,462
Congratulations.

1049
01:09:32,172 --> 01:09:33,373
We'll be in touch.

1050
01:09:44,184 --> 01:09:45,852
[John exhales]

1051
01:09:49,220 --> 01:09:50,190
- Sera--
- Don't.

1052
01:09:51,391 --> 01:09:54,461
I didn't tell you
about the allegations
because they weren't true.

1053
01:09:54,461 --> 01:09:56,696
So you continued to lie

1054
01:09:56,696 --> 01:10:01,568
by pretending to go to work
for a month.

1055
01:10:01,568 --> 01:10:04,370
Oh, God, yeah.
That was stupid. I'm sorry.

1056
01:10:05,138 --> 01:10:08,308
Why don't you tell me
the real reason
you kept it a secret?

1057
01:10:09,309 --> 01:10:10,777
What do you mean?

1058
01:10:10,777 --> 01:10:13,580
Remember the company party
right after we got engaged?

1059
01:10:14,547 --> 01:10:16,490
I had to leave early.

1060
01:10:16,916 --> 01:10:21,621
When you came home,
you smelled like ***
and jasmine.

1061
01:10:21,621 --> 01:10:22,489
It's jasmine.

1062
01:10:22,489 --> 01:10:23,723
It's my favorite.

1063
01:10:31,998 --> 01:10:35,602
I chose to look the other way
because I-I really wanted
to believe

1064
01:10:35,602 --> 01:10:37,637
that you were the man
you said you were, but...

1065
01:10:39,272 --> 01:10:41,508
you're full of shit, John.

1066
01:10:45,879 --> 01:10:47,470
[John] Nice to see you.

1067
01:10:47,470 --> 01:10:50,684
[dramatic piano music playing]

1068
01:10:54,154 --> 01:10:55,755
[Sera]
Alyssa was telling the truth.

1069
01:10:58,858 --> 01:11:01,294
But it wasn't
***ual harassment.

1070
01:11:03,430 --> 01:11:05,598
It was very consensual.

1071
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,638
You were ****ing her
all this time, weren't you?

1072
01:11:16,910 --> 01:11:18,478
And worst of all...

1073
01:11:20,613 --> 01:11:23,249
you were ****ing her
on the day we lost our baby.

1074
01:11:29,522 --> 01:11:32,459
[dramatic piano music continues]

1075
01:11:32,459 --> 01:11:34,361
That's why you didn't pick up
the phone, isn't it?

1076
01:11:34,427 --> 01:11:35,995
Isn't it?

1077
01:11:38,331 --> 01:11:39,599
Sera, please.

1078
01:11:39,599 --> 01:11:40,900
I just lied to a ****ing cop
for you, John.

1079
01:11:40,900 --> 01:11:42,602
- I didn't ask you to do that.
- No?

1080
01:11:42,602 --> 01:11:45,710
Well, what did you want me
to say?
"Oh, I'm-I'm so sorry, officer.

1081
01:11:45,710 --> 01:11:47,107
I have no idea where
my husband was that afternoon."

1082
01:11:47,107 --> 01:11:48,775
Well, you know where I was.
I was running.

1083
01:11:48,775 --> 01:11:50,243
- I told you that.
- You were running?

1084
01:11:50,243 --> 01:11:51,845
- Yeah, I was.
- You were running.
No, of course.

1085
01:11:51,845 --> 01:11:54,140
Yes, you were running.
You think they'd buy that?

1086
01:11:54,140 --> 01:11:56,716
I'm trying to protect you.

1087
01:11:56,716 --> 01:11:58,418
I don't wanna have to spend
the next 20 years

1088
01:11:58,418 --> 01:12:01,287
explaining to this baby
why their father's in jail
for murder.

1089
01:12:01,287 --> 01:12:04,891
Wait, you don't think
I had anything
to do with it, do you?

1090
01:12:04,891 --> 01:12:06,726
Doesn't matter
what I think, John.

1091
01:12:07,627 --> 01:12:09,396
They think you did.

1092
01:12:09,396 --> 01:12:10,897
Ask me.

1093
01:12:12,132 --> 01:12:14,567
- I don't wanna ask you, John.
- Ask me.

1094
01:12:14,567 --> 01:12:17,270
I don't want to ask you.

[Emmett] One simple condition.

You must never open
the cellar door.

I think you wanna look.

- [Sera] We would lose
everything.

Do you really want that?

1103
01:12:38,958 --> 01:12:40,160
[John] There's got to be
something down there, Sera.

1104
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,280
We're gonna find
the perfect house,

1105
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:43,730
and we're gonna live
the life of our dreams.

1106
01:12:43,730 --> 01:12:45,765
- [Sera] Yeah?
- [Emmett] You know what
they say about old houses.

1107
01:12:45,765 --> 01:12:47,330
They're like people.

1108

They all have
their deep, dark secrets.

1109
01:12:49,369 --> 01:12:52,380
You gotta burn it down
before it's too late.

1110
01:12:52,380 --> 01:12:55,800
It's not worth the price.
It will destroy you.

1111
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,610
- [John] I'm telling you,
that house is cursed.
- [Sera] You only want to look

1112
01:12:57,610 --> 01:12:58,778
because you're being asked
not to.

1113

Prior owner, uh, Paul MacManus.

1114

- [John] Paul MacManus?
- [clerk] Paul MacManus.

1115
01:13:02,949 --> 01:13:05,685
Called him a bunch of times,

- I'm going through a divorce.
- It's...

1126
01:14:04,277 --> 01:14:06,446
[Paul] It's hard to concentrate
on anything else.

1127
01:14:06,446 --> 01:14:08,882
[John] I'm not gonna take up
too much of your time anyway.

1128
01:14:08,882 --> 01:14:10,283
Oh, it doesn't matter.

1129

What do you mean?

1130
01:14:16,956 --> 01:14:19,325
I can't tell you
what you wanna know anyways.

1131
01:14:20,593 --> 01:14:21,561
Why?

1132
01:14:26,933 --> 01:14:28,435
You think you're ready
to listen?

1133

Oh, I-I don't think I have

all you see is perfection.

[John moans softly] Sera.

[no audible sound]

1140
01:14:59,990 --> 01:15:02,235
And like you,
we took our Faustian bargain.

1141
01:15:05,405 --> 01:15:06,439
Yeah.

1142
01:15:07,741 --> 01:15:09,442
Perfect life.

1143
01:15:09,442 --> 01:15:14,214
All for the low, low cost
of your soul.

1144
01:15:17,384 --> 01:15:22,489
For me, living in the house
flattered my sense
of invincibility.

1145
01:15:22,489 --> 01:15:24,357
It enabled me.

1146
01:15:25,492 --> 01:15:26,960
Taunted me.

1147
01:15:27,494 --> 01:15:29,996
"Oh, you live
in this beautiful place.

1148
01:15:29,996 --> 01:15:32,650
Surely you can handle
a drink now."

1149
01:15:32,799 --> 01:15:36,102
But I was only deceiving myself,
hiding behind the alcohol.

1150
01:15:36,102 --> 01:15:39,205
Until I found myself

1151
01:15:39,205 --> 01:15:44,644
on the slippery slope
of lies and shame.

1152

Ending in a shattered marriage.

1153
01:15:56,189 --> 01:15:58,792
You came to the house
to warn us, didn't you?

1154
01:15:58,792 --> 01:16:00,894
I came there

1155
01:16:02,128 --> 01:16:04,631
to burn the ****er down.

1156
01:16:05,899 --> 01:16:08,168
So there is something
in that house.

1157
01:16:08,168 --> 01:16:09,469
It's not the house.

1158
01:16:10,403 --> 01:16:11,838
It's us.

1159
01:16:11,838 --> 01:16:13,840
The things we hide.

1160
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,208
Our secrets.

1161
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,245
We cover it up,
we pretend it doesn't exist,

1162
01:16:19,245 --> 01:16:21,247
but it's always there.

1163
01:16:23,383 --> 01:16:25,852
But he killed them, didn't he?
Emmett.

1164
01:16:26,453 --> 01:16:28,121
His wife and his daughter.
That's what's down there.

1165
01:16:28,121 --> 01:16:30,900
No, it's not about Emmett.

1166
01:16:30,900 --> 01:16:32,158
It was never about Emmett.

1167
01:16:32,158 --> 01:16:34,127
It's the worst of us.

1168
01:16:34,127 --> 01:16:35,962
Then what's down there?
What's inside? What did you see?

1169
01:16:35,962 --> 01:16:37,397
That's my biggest regret.

1170
01:16:37,397 --> 01:16:39,199
What, opening the cellar door?

1171
01:16:39,199 --> 01:16:41,668
No! Not opening it.

1172
01:16:42,569 --> 01:16:43,670
You have one choice.

1173
01:16:43,670 --> 01:16:45,105
You break the contract.

1174
01:16:45,105 --> 01:16:48,942
You open the door to see
the truth inside yourself.

1175
01:16:52,780 --> 01:16:53,980
It's the only way out.

I needed to clear my head.

[piano playing]

1264
01:22:38,580 --> 01:22:39,759
To find a path forward.

1265
01:22:43,263 --> 01:22:44,831
I weighed my options,

1266
01:22:45,565 --> 01:22:47,901
considered the causes
and effects.

1267
01:22:49,769 --> 01:22:53,740
And from the chaos, clarity.

Alyssa. She just left
my ****ing house.

1271
01:23:50,263 --> 01:23:51,765
You were driving her car.

[tense music plays]

I managed to lose you
at the turn.

1276
01:24:15,422 --> 01:24:16,990
Come on, come on, come on.

1277
01:24:18,958 --> 01:24:21,928
I abandoned it where
no one would find the body.

1278
01:24:27,167 --> 01:24:29,703
And then I took her phone,

1279
01:24:29,703 --> 01:24:32,500
and I uploaded
a few last pictures.

[water sloshes]

1281

asking for some time off.

"Self-care," they say.

1283
01:24:47,654 --> 01:24:49,723
[Sera] I got rid of my clothes.

1284
01:24:52,826 --> 01:24:55,280
It was all going perfectly.

1285
01:24:56,763 --> 01:24:59,165
Until somehow, I missed.

1286
01:24:59,933 --> 01:25:01,334
One bullet.

1287
01:25:01,334 --> 01:25:03,503
- What the hell is that?
- [Sera] Right through
the painting.

It was easy
to predict your reaction.

1289
01:25:05,438 --> 01:25:07,340
[John] There is a bullet
in our wall.

1290
01:25:07,340 --> 01:25:10,343
[Sera] Because there's probably
a rational explanation.

1291
01:25:10,343 --> 01:25:12,379
Please, drop it.

1292
01:25:12,379 --> 01:25:13,446
Or so I thought.

1293
01:25:13,446 --> 01:25:14,681
No!

1294
01:25:14,681 --> 01:25:15,915
You just couldn't
leave it alone.

[Sera grunts]

1296

You don't get it, do you?

1304
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,897
If you make that call,
you'll be going to jail
for murder, not me.

1305
01:26:04,931 --> 01:26:06,132
Sit.

1306

You're not seeing
the full picture.

1310
01:26:28,355 --> 01:26:30,824
You lured her to our house,

1311
01:26:32,158 --> 01:26:34,828
you murdered her,

1312
01:26:34,828 --> 01:26:36,796
and then you hid her body
under the stairs.

1313
01:26:36,796 --> 01:26:39,799
You even nailed it shut
so that no one would find her.

1314
01:26:46,239 --> 01:26:50,243
I had no idea until the police
started snooping around.

[ominous music continues]

And then I found
that phone of hers you kept.

1317
01:27:02,655 --> 01:27:04,691
And I put the pieces together.

1318
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,862
I realized
you killed that poor girl.

1319
01:27:11,664 --> 01:27:13,700
When I confronted you,
you attacked me,

1320
01:27:13,700 --> 01:27:15,969
and I was forced
to do the unthinkable.

1321
01:27:18,104 --> 01:27:20,507
I shot my husband
in self-defense.

[John scoffs]

1323

When the police arrive,
they find me hysterical.

1324
01:27:27,414 --> 01:27:28,615
I tell them everything I know.

1325
01:27:28,615 --> 01:27:30,717
I lead them to Alyssa's body.
"It's...

1326
01:27:32,180 --> 01:27:34,540
a terrible tragedy,"
they all say.

1327
01:27:35,388 --> 01:27:38,158
And then I raise our baby

1328
01:27:38,158 --> 01:27:42,228
in the house
we always dreamed of by myself.

1329
01:27:43,897 --> 01:27:47,600
Or you say nothing.

1330
01:27:48,802 --> 01:27:50,570
Nobody's the wiser.

1331
01:27:51,271 --> 01:27:55,842
We stay in this home,
our baby on the way,
our promise kept.

1332
01:28:04,718 --> 01:28:05,952
What about Alyssa?

1333
01:28:07,954 --> 01:28:10,290
A tragic disappearance.

1334
01:28:11,391 --> 01:28:12,992
Most likely suicide.

1335
01:28:15,829 --> 01:28:18,980
Whatever the case,
we'll weather the storm.

1336
01:28:20,330 --> 01:28:21,901
We'll survive this together.

1337
01:28:23,670 --> 01:28:25,238
Or I'll survive it alone.

1338
01:28:28,608 --> 01:28:30,710
There's only one answer, John.

1339
01:28:30,710 --> 01:28:32,779
But the choice is yours.

1340

You know, old friend,
I'm proud of you.

You had a hell of a year.

By the way, you ever, uh,

you ever find out
what was in the cellar?

Oh, yeah, that's where
all the bodies are buried.

Everybody in. Come on.

- Yeah?

1359
01:29:40,814 --> 01:29:42,582
Some guy dropped off
a gift for you.

1360

- It's on the piano. Mm.
- Oh, thank you.

Why are you being
such a sourpuss?

I'm sorry.
No, no, I'm good, I'm good.

1364
01:29:52,225 --> 01:29:53,760
- Yeah, I'm happy.
- Cheer up.

1365
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:55,662
Baby, there's something here
for us.

1366
01:29:55,662 --> 01:29:57,831
[Kathryn] And if we could have
all the attractive people
up front, please,

1367
01:29:57,831 --> 01:29:59,265
that would be great.

[Emmett]
Congratulations to you both.

1373
01:30:16,950 --> 01:30:19,886
I hope this wonderful news
helps to realize

1374
01:30:19,886 --> 01:30:21,488
the ideal life
you were seeking.

1375
01:30:22,756 --> 01:30:23,923
By starting a family,

1376
01:30:23,923 --> 01:30:25,892
you have transformed this house

1377
01:30:25,892 --> 01:30:28,161
back into a home again.

1378
01:30:28,161 --> 01:30:29,929
For this,
I am eternally grateful.

1379
01:30:30,697 --> 01:30:34,801
I understand you both faced
many challenges
to make this happen.

1380
01:30:34,801 --> 01:30:37,604
I trust it's all been worth it.

1381

My gift to you is the key
to the cellar door.

1382
01:30:41,708 --> 01:30:45,512
Whether you choose to use it
is entirely up to you.

1383
01:30:45,512 --> 01:30:48,815
But I believe you already know
what's inside.

1384

Wishing you both the best

as you continue to write
new chapters in your life.
