Held Hostage in My House (2024) Movie Script
[gentle pensive music]
[Matt] Spoiler alert,
you're never getting rid of me.
[Professor Mead] What I would do
for talent like this.
[Dr. Walters] I don't bite.
[Ramona] Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
[Matt] I just wanted to remind
you why this is happening to you.
[Gabriel] Mark my words,
if you say anything to anyone...
[Dr. Walters] I don't bite.
[Gabriel] I'll end you.
[Dr. Walters] Not unless
directly requested, of course.
[Yousef] You make me
wanna do things to you.
Things that I
can't say out loud.
[Matt] I mean, don't you know,
you can't have it all?
[gentle pensive music continues]
[door creaks]
[gentle pensive music continues]
[Charlie] Wow, Mom.
This is the most
we've ever picked.
I know. That fertilizer
this fall really did the trick.
Will you grab that one?
Thank you.
What? Whoa.
[gentle pensive music continues]
[Charlie] I'll go get my bag.
Okay, you go get your bag.
[Dawn sighs]
[Charlie] Mom, you coming?
Yeah, coming.
[ominous music]
[Charlie] Mom!
I'll be right there, buddy.
Look at these peaches.
Okay, here we go.
No shells.
Wow.
[Charlie] It smells yummy.
We got cinnamon.
You like it 'cause it has sugar.
Yes.
Mr. Sugar Man.
All right.
There we are.
[Charlie] I can't wait.
Yeah!
[ominous music]
All right, time for to bed.
Can I just stay
with you this week?
No, Charlie,
you cannot stay with me.
You have to go to your dad's.
I hate camping.
Charlie Reynolds, you
do not hate camping.
You love camping.
He's only taking me
because of her, isn't he?
No.
[birds chirping]
Okay.
Hey, Charlie, time to get up.
We're gonna be late.
[phone ringing]
[Pete] Hey, it's Pete, your local
handyman. Leave a message.
Pete, it's Dawn. Hi!
Listen, I have a favor.
I just found these
crazy red fire ants
outside by the
pathway in the back,
and I really need your help.
Can I pay you extra?
Maybe you can come over
by the end of the week.
I would appreciate it.
I love you, Pete. Bye.
You love Pete, Mom?
Yes.
I mean, not in that way,
but yes, of course.
He's my friend.
Well, I thought I was
the man of the house.
You are the man of the house.
And when you get bigger,
you will really be helpful here.
Okay, can you finish up?
We gotta go.
Thank you.
[computer chimes]
[door creaks]
[Charlie] Why are
they called fire ants?
Um, I'm actually not sure
what kind of ants those are,
but they're called fire ants
because when they bite you,
the sting feels like
fire on your skin.
Don't wanna go near those then.
[soft tense music]
[Dawn] He's excited.
Good. Me too.
Hey, listen, bud, why don't
you run inside real quick
so I can talk to Mom, right?
I got a surprise
for you on my desk.
See you later, Mom.
Love you.
[Dawn] I love you, buddy.
[Charlie] I'll call you.
Okay.
[Matt sighs]
Here you go.
Down to three hours this week.
Oh, wow. That's great.
New record.
[Dawn] Yeah.
Hey, listen, Dawn, um,
I figure I should let you know.
Kate and I, we're gonna
get engaged this week.
Wow.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- Hopefully. Hopefully.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- That's huge.
Charlie might be just
a little adverse to it,
but I'll work with him on it.
He'll be totally fine.
As long as she's
great to Charlie,
that's all I care about.
Okay, all right, well have fun.
I'm gonna get going.
I have to go get my
vacation rental ready
and I ran out toilet paper.
All right.
Well, listen, one other thing.
- How's the portfolio coming?
- [sighs]
You're almost done
with that, right?
I mean, it's been three
years in the making.
Four.
But who's counting?
As long as you're
crossing the finish line,
that's all that matters.
But you need to get a job.
I'm not a maid, Matt.
I'm just cleaning for
the vacation rental
so I can make extra money.
I'm an artist.
Well, listen, I'm just gonna
put it out there right now,
but I think Charlie should
live with me full time.
[tense music]
Oh, really?
So you think now
that you're sober,
that you're a family man?
I think he needs to get
back into normal society
instead of living in
some sort of fantasy land
with his mommy, right?
What?
Okay, first of all,
if he comes to you,
he's just gonna
be glued to media
while you work endless hours.
It's for his own good.
It is not for
his own good, okay?
I will get my portfolio done
and then I can afford
to move into the city
and we'll be fine, okay?
This is the predicament
you put me in,
you put Charlie and I in,
is your fuck ups, okay?
Okay, well then I have no choice
but to get full custody.
The judge is gonna
side with me too, Dawn,
because your house isn't safe,
especially with that
incident on record already
from one of your other guests.
Oh, God.
[engine rumbling]
[phone ringing]
Well, that didn't go well.
Plan B it is.
[ominous music]
Hey, just this.
[phone ringing]
Victoria.
Just had the worst
run in with Matt ever.
Babe, drop everything
and come to Saint-Tropez
with me like old times.
- Champagne time?
- Yes.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
I'm so upset I can't
even see straight.
[Victoria] Deep breaths, babe.
Deep breaths.
He's going for full custody.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
I need a lawyer.
I need to finish my portfolio.
Listen, do not let that
ex-fucker get inside your head.
[selfie camera clicking] - You dumped
him because he was a deadbeat dad
and he cheated on you.
Yeah, no, and
apparently, you know,
he's a great catch now.
[chuckles]
Why didn't I get that version?
Listen to me.
You are brilliant.
You're a wonderful mom.
You are a talented artist.
And he's just totally fucked.
Of course
he's gonna give you hell.
And he's getting
engaged this weekend.
Honestly, I feel bad for her.
I know. Me too.
- You know what you need?
- What?
- To get laid.
- Oh!
When was the last time you
logged into that kick ass dating profile
that I made for you?
I don't have time.
When are you back?
A week.
I'm going with Dmitri.
To be childless and free again.
Babe, come on.
Just come with me.
Oh, yeah. I wish.
I can't.
- My phone's about to die.
- [phone chimes]
Yeah, I'm at the airport.
Wine time when I get back?
Call me when you get
there, okay? Safe travels.
[Victoria] Love you.
[Dawn] Love you. Bye.
[Victoria] Hi.
[tense music]
Hello?
I'm sorry,
the home isn't ready yet.
Can you please come back?
I would really appreciate it.
[Dawn gasps]
[soft tense music]
[Dawn inhales deeply]
[Dawn exhales deeply]
[Dawn winces]
This is a bad dream.
[Dawn groans]
[bed creaking]
[Dawn groaning]
[dramatic string music]
I'm being punished.
[dramatic string
music continues]
Fuck.
[soft tense music]
What time is it?
[clock ticking]
When does a guest arrive?
[computer chimes]
You can do this.
[ominous music]
[gentle music]
[Charlie] See you later, Mom.
Love you.
You have time.
[airplane whooshing]
[announcer speaking
foreign language]
[clock ticking]
Oh, please get here.
Please.
[phone chimes]
Pete, it's Dawn. Hi.
Can I pay you extra?
Maybe you can come over
by the end of the week.
I love you, Pete. Bye.
All right, looks good.
Let's move on to the
next section, yeah?
[clock ticking]
- [tense music]
- [door creaks]
[thuds]
Oh, thank God.
Hello! Back here.
Please, can you help?
Please, please?
Back here.
Oh, thank God.
Hello?
Hello?
[Dawn gasping]
- Shh!
- Get off me.
- [hand slaps]
- [Dawn groans]
- [Dawn gasping]
- [gravel crunching]
Mrs. Bower!
Mrs. Bower! Help!
[knocking on door]
Dawn, package for you.
You can't leave me here
like this.
Mrs. Bower, help!
[Dawn groans]
Get me outta here!
[gentle music]
[soft tense music]
[clock ticking]
[Dawn crying]
[Dawn screaming]
[ominous music]
Professor Mead.
[soft tense music]
Wow.
Yeah.
I would say you are
more than ready.
That's it.
- I'm booking a gallery space.
- [Dawn gasps]
- Four weeks from now.
- What?
Four weeks?
Mm-hmm.
It's time.
Finish this.
Let's move forward
on getting you graduated.
Okay! [Laughs]
All right.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm gonna take off.
[Dawn] Okay.
Man.
What I would do
for talent like this.
I'm gone.
[Dawn squeals]
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Hey, how about
this, Charlie, huh?
An old fashioned Girl
Scout we got here.
Wow. Good job, Kate.
We've got some
hobo dinners going.
Charlie, you ever
had a hobo dinner?
Yeah, my mom makes
them all the time.
Not all the time.
Come on, Charlie.
How would you know?
The only reason you're taking
us camping is because of her.
In fact, we've never
done anything like this.
[Charlie groans]
It's my fault.
I was a different man back then.
Paying for it now.
You gotta stop beating
yourself up about it.
It's in the past, okay?
You are a different man now.
Besides, he shouldn't talk
to you like that anyway.
Honestly, he needs
to learn more respect.
All the more reason
to go for full custody.
I love you.
[phone ringing]
Come on, Mom.
Why won't you answer me?
Hi, this is Dawn.
Leave a message.
[phone beeps]
[phone ringing]
[Dawn gasps]
Charlie.
Hi, this is Dawn.
[Charlie] And Charlie.
[Charlie And Dawn] Please
leave a message. Bye!
[answer machine beeps]
[Charlie] Mom,
why aren't you answering?
Charlie, I'm right here, buddy.
I'm gonna find a way to get up.
[phone ringing]
[Charlie groans]
How long?
[Matt] Pimping your
house to make ends meet
while you experiment in the loft
doing whatever it is
you do calling it art
just doesn't look good,
especially with that incident
on record already
from one of your other guests.
[soft tense music]
Oh, hi.
You must be...
Ramona.
Ramona. Hi.
Welcome to the Chateau
in the Country.
And you are here because?
[Dawn] I'm the host, Dawn.
Yeah, I know that.
I've never had a host
greet me in person before.
I'm sorry.
I'm pretty new at this.
No kidding.
You have nothing to worry about.
I stay in vacation rentals
like yours all the time.
This one is beautiful.
Private.
Priced right.
[Dawn chuckle]
Well, I do have
guests arriving soon
and I need to freshen up.
Everything I need to know
is in the app or in this book?
In that book.
Yeah, right there.
Sure, all right,
well, I will be going,
so if you have any questions
- I'll be sure to message you.
- Great.
Okay.
Oh, you can blow the candle out.
I just thought it smelled good.
Oh, and there's also some
really good ice cream
in the fridge, freezer.
You can have it.
Eat it all.
I just thought maybe
you'd want some.
Okay. Bye.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
[Ramona sighs]
[soft curious music]
Hey, Mrs. Bower,
your garden's looking beautiful.
[soft curious music continues]
[gravel crunching]
[car door closes]
Hi, baby.
Hi, darling.
Follow me.
Huh.
[soft tense music]
[Dawn sighs]
[computer chimes]
[guest messages chattering]
Doctor Walter.
[soft tense music]
Oh, he's here early.
[swanky music]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Dr. Walter. I'm Dawn.
Hi, Dawn.
My ETA on my GPS
is totally wack.
Complete liar.
I'm so sorry I'm really...
- No, you just come on in.
- I can wait in the car
- if you're not ready.
- The house is ready.
- We are good.
- So beautiful.
Are you kidding me?
- Look at this.
- Thank you.
You're the owner?
Yeah, my grandmother
left it to me
right after I got married.
And then about a year ago,
I spruced it up and just
decided to rent it out.
God, it...
I met so many great people
from around the world.
Who wouldn't want
to rent this place?
It's just stunning.
Thank you.
So you and your
husband live on property?
Are you guys in town or?
Oh, well, I'm divorced,
but no, I live in town.
And you're here,
you're celebrating
your anniversary?
Yes, yes.
Five years.
- Wow, okay.
- Five years
and three years in November.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
So what is that secret
to keeping this spark alive?
Oh.
Polyamory.
Huh?
Yeah, that and role play,
just to keep it interesting.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
My wife and our girlfriend
are on their way here right now.
My wife is gonna be
dressed as dominatrix
and our girlfriend
will be a lifeguard.
- No way.
- Way.
Because tonight I'm going,
I'm a drowning man
who needs to be
punished in need of CPR,
before CPR.
- Oh, my God.
- Or after,
depending on if I want
the CO2 cut off.
Ooh.
- Wow.
- I know.
- It's a lot.
- Okay, well I'm gonna
get going and let you two,
I mean you three, have at it.
[Dr. Walters]
You said that, didn't you?
Router's in here
just in case you need
to reset the Wi-Fi.
- That's the Wi-Fi.
- Need a hand with it?
Let me help you.
- Yeah, can you get that in.
- Elbow grease.
- Okay, sorry.
- There's that.
Right there.
Yeah.
Did you just smell me?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
Oh.
And you smell lovely.
If you're not busy later
and you are interested,
I'd love for you to meet them.
[laughs] Really?
- Yeah.
Oh, you're so sweet.
Well, listen, the
manual's in the front room
and if you need anything,
just message me.
We have lots of costumes.
I have costumes.
I don't bite, you know?
Not unless directly
requested, of course.
Okay. All right.
Talk to you later.
[swanky music continues]
Love your taste.
[computer chiming]
[soft curious music]
[clock ticking]
[man] Is someone there?
Hello?
Hello?
Is someone there?
I swear, if someone's
there, come on out.
- Now!
- Gabriel.
Hi, Gabriel.
It's Dawn, the host.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
No.
Just go away. You're
not supposed to be here.
Why are you here?
Gabrielle, I'm sorry.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my.
Come here, come here.
Oh.
I'll bring you inside and we
can make some tea and talk.
I have to go back
to my wife now.
[tense music]
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
[water dripping]
[soft tense music]
[Ramona chattering]
[Dawn] Huh.
What?
- Let me see.
- Okay.
[Victoria] Oh, yeah.
Yep, she's a pimp.
No way.
That bitch is a baller.
Oh, hell no.
[Dawn chuckles]
[Victoria and Dawn laugh]
- Whoa.
- [phone chimes]
What was that?
[Victoria] Something I should
have done a long time ago.
What did you...
No, Victoria.
I said no dating apps.
Oh, my God, that guy is so hot.
Swipe right.
Oh, look,
he's messaging you right now.
What?
Come on, Dawn.
You have got to get out
and live a little,
like invite him to tea
or whatever you do.
Hi, this is Dawn.
I am looking for a detective
that could help me.
There's some illegal activity
happening around my house.
It's actually inside my house.
Okay.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
Ugh.
[tense music]
[Dawn groaning]
[Dawn gasps]
Mrs. Bower.
Mrs. Bower!
Please, listen to me!
I grabbed your mail
again for you, Dawn.
Mrs. Bower!
[engine rumbles]
Charlie, I love you buddy.
Hey, what do you think
you're doing, buddy?
I'm worried about Mom.
She isn't calling me back
or answering any of my calls.
'Cause she's probably sleeping.
But she'd always text me back.
Leave it be, okay?
She's taking a break, bud.
Besides, I need you, huh?
You remember what
we talked about?
I'll do everything
you need me to do
if you let me call Mom later.
All right, deal.
You two are awfully quiet.
What's this about?
Well, I was just
telling Charlie here
how beautiful it is and
how we need to make a deal
to come up here more often.
[sighs]
All right, come on, gang.
Let's go.
[soft tense music]
[guest]
Dawn, thank you so much for...
[guests chattering]
[Ramona] Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
Ramona.
This is ridiculous.
A group of women can't have
a fucking slumber party?
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
You have the right
to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one,
one will be appointed for you.
Do you understand these rights?
You might as well be bots,
free enterprise with
a fucking clone.
Ma'am, do you understand?
Fuck, yes, of course.
Now get on with it.
[Ramona grunts]
Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
[Ramona spits]
They said this was safe!
Safe and illegal
are two different things, sir.
Matt.
[tense music]
[Matt] The judge is gonna
side with me too, Dawn,
'cause your house isn't safe.
Especially with that
incident on record already
from one of your other guests.
Happy birthday
Dear Charlie
Happy birthday to you
[all applauding]
[all cheering]
All right!
- Can you do the cake?
- Yes.
- I'll get the game.
- Okay.
All right.
Big piece, little piece?
Little piece.
Okay, here we go.
Whoo!
Run, run, run, run, run.
You got it, you got it.
Hey, bud.
What's goin' on?
Why does he have to bring her?
Maybe he needed a friend.
Look at it this way.
You have a new helper.
So, while they're
cutting the cake,
I can play ball with you.
Well, I guess.
We want your dad
to be happy, don't we?
Yeah.
But why can't he be with you?
Bud, it's okay.
I think we should give
her a chance, okay?
- Okay.
- She's pretty nice.
And as long as
she's good to you,
that's all that matters, right?
I want you to go enjoy your
birthday and play ball, okay?
- Okay.
- All right.
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
If you wanna go play ball,
I can help do the cake.
The least we can do
is help clean up.
Yeah.
[Dawn] Okay.
Looks like he's having
a good time, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
- He killed it.
- Yeah.
Hey, listen, do
you have a moment?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've got this.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
So what is this about renting
the house to vacationers?
Oh, I'm just doing it as
like a side thing, you know,
to make some extra money.
Yeah, okay, Dawn. But don't
you think that's a little below you?
Below us, I mean?
[Dawn scoffs]
I mean, first of all,
there's not an us anymore.
And second of all, this is my house
and my business and my life now.
So this is what I have to do
to survive, Matt, okay?
I'm not receiving
anything from you.
Right, all right.
Here we go again.
Whatever.
[soft tense music]
What was that?
Remind me when
this will be over.
You've got one more hour.
[laughs] Yeah, no, not that.
[Dawn] Let's go, Charlie.
[Dawn scoffs]
You know, sometimes I wish it was
just you, me and Charlie, you know?
Yeah, me too.
Whoo-hoo!
[Dawn applauding]
Let's see.
Oh, Charlie, you got it.
You got it. You got it.
[soft tense music]
Whoo!
[Dawn cheering]
[ominous music]
Remember I'm counting
on you, all right?
Kate?
Oh, my God.
There's no one else
I wanna do life with.
I mean, you make me
the happiest man.
[soft music]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Will you marry me?
Oh, my God.
Yes, yes, Matt, yes, yes!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Babe, it's beautiful.
Oh, my God.
Charlie, did you get it?
Charlie, did you know
about this the whole time?
Okay, come here, come here.
Let's all take a
picture together, okay?
[camera shutter clicks]
I just love this new
little family of mine.
Don't forget our deal, Dad.
Yes, at the bottom of the hill.
Someone's in a hurry.
Yeah, don't mind him.
He's in a bit of a mood.
[both giggling]
[dramatic string music]
[Dawn groaning]
Come on.
[clock ticking]
Charlie.
- I'll end you.
- I don't bite.
- Beneath you.
- Link.
- Beneath us.
- Bite.
[Gabriel]
Mark my words, mark my words.
I don't bite
unless directly
requested to, of course.
You say anything to anyone,
I'll end you.
Bitch, I'll get
you back for this!
Dawn, don't you think
that's a little beneath you?
Beneath us?
What I would do
for talent like this.
No, there's no way it's him.
You make me wanna
do things to you.
Things I can't say out loud.
Yousef?
- Dawn!
- Hi.
So, so, so nice to meet you.
- So nice to meet.
- Nice to meet you.
Please take a seat.
Wow. You're even prettier
in real life
than in your photos.
Oh, you're so nice.
You know, you're not
bad looking yourself.
- [Yousef] Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much
for meeting me here.
This is one of my
favorite spots.
Oh, yeah, no, I see why.
It's very pink.
It's pink.
Mm-hmm.
So tell me,
how long have you
been on the app?
Oh, not long at all.
You?
[Yousef] You're my first date.
Really?
Yeah, no, honestly.
Wait, couldn't you tell by my
most awkward greeting of you?
No, it's my first date.
I swear on my father's grave.
Well, same.
But not on your father's.
My mother's grave.
- Right.
- That's weird.
[both laughing]
[Yousef] Let's keep our
dead parents out of this.
That's a good idea.
Yeah, that app.
Yeah, apps are weird.
[Yousef] Yeah.
I actually didn't swipe on you.
My friend did.
But she has good taste, so.
She has impeccable
taste clearly.
I know.
She does have great taste.
So thank her from me.
This app thing is so weird.
Oh, my God. It's so weird.
I know.
[Yousef] So you have a son?
Yes.
Charlie. Do you
wanna see a picture?
Yeah. Do I?
Okay.
Here is a picture of him.
Oh, my God.
What a cutie.
[Dawn laughs]
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
- That's amazing.
- Thank you.
Do you have kids?
No.
I would love to have kids.
Life hasn't really worked
out for me in that way.
I was with someone who didn't really
know whether she wanted kids or not
and finally I realized
that I did.
And now this is awkward.
And I dunno else to say.
I'd love to be a dad one day.
[gentle music]
[Dawn] I mean...
[both laughing]
Depends on what side
of the roof you're on.
Okay.
I don't what that even means.
Well, thank you.
This was way more
fun than I expected.
No, thank you.
We should do it again sometime.
Okay.
- Good.
- Okay.
Bye.
Aw.
It was really nice to meet you.
[Dawn] Same with you.
- All right.
- All right.
Oh, you know, I'm having
this little dinner party
at my house Saturday,
If you wanna come.
If you feel like stopping by,
you can.
[Yousef] I'd love to.
Okay.
I'll send you the info.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
[Yousef] All right.
[Dawn laughs]
- Bye.
- Bye.
[gentle music]
[people chattering]
[Dawn] Here we go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
To our brilliant,
gorgeous friend
on this incredible evening
with the most amazing spread.
Thank you for spoiling us.
Aw, thank you.
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
- [gentle music continues]
- [all chattering]
[Dawn] Yeah.
Dawn, these are amazing.
- [gentle music]
- [Dawn chuckles]
Victoria's right.
I mean, how long have you
been working on these?
Oh, years.
I mean, I started these
before grad school
and then I figured
I'd get my MFA.
That would be my best shot
at breaking through,
finding my voice, all that.
Finishing this collection.
[Yousef] What about this one?
Oh, that one, not finished yet,
but I think might be
my favorite so far.
Yeah?
What makes it your favorite?
'Cause it translates
what I'm trying to say the most.
[Yousef] And what's that?
Well, that's for you,
the audience,
to decide, isn't it?
[both chuckle]
You make me wanna
do things to you
I can't say out loud.
[gentle music continues]
[Dawn giggles]
- Ow!
- Oh, shit.
Sorry, did I...
[Dawn] No, no, no.
Oh, I just stepped on something.
[Dawn winces]
[Yousef]
Right, let me have a look.
[Dawn] What was that?
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
[Dawn laughs]
Better?
[Dawn] Yes.
How about this?
[Dawn giggling]
It's true. [Laughs]
[Dmitri] How was your walk?
It was good.
The view was breathtaking.
I will help.
You get outta the kitchen.
I got this. Thank you.
Hi.
[Dawn giggling]
Yeah.
On a scale of one to ten?
I would say easily a nine.
Stop it.
Mm-hmm.
I like him.
Do you think he's a good guy?
I do.
I mean, we talked for like
three hours when we met.
That's not normal, is it?
It's not.
And I trust your
instincts, believe me.
But you are
a little new at this.
Just be careful 'cause it's
very hard to spot the crazies.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll be careful.
Is that new around your neck?
I haven't...
Oh, I've had this for a few months
I think. Have I not showed you?
No, I mean, your endorsements
I think are really finally paying off.
You've been doing a lot of
the hard work and good for you.
Thank you.
But whatever about me,
I am so happy for you.
Oh, my God,
I needed it so badly.
See? I was right.
You were, you were.
Okay, that's enough now.
I need her back.
Hello.
I'll return her in one piece.
- I see how it is.
- Where are you taking me?
We're having a little dance.
Let me see your twirls.
[gentle music continues]
[phone beeps]
[Charlie] Mom, are you there?
I know something isn't right.
I need you
to call me back, please.
I love you.
[answering machine beeps]
I'm here, Charlie.
[soft tense music]
I should finish getting ready.
Yeah.
Thank you.
[cell phone vibrating]
Ooh, cant' wait. I'm starving.
This is Victoria.
Leave a message.
[phone beeps]
V, my mom is not answering
and I'm really worried about her.
And my dad is too busy
with his face stuck
to his fiancee to give a crap.
Please call me back.
All right, bud. Time's up.
[Charlie] But Dad...
You tried calling her?
Well, if she didn't answer, she didn't
answer. I don't know what to tell you.
[Charlie] You're wrong.
Come on, let's go.
Lemme see you.
[soft tense music]
[phone beeps]
What?
[Kate] What's going on?
You wouldn't understand.
[Matt] Charlie.
Dad, you're not listening to me.
Charlie.
Enough.
Enough, okay?
Now go down the path
and play with those kids
we saw at the camp, all right?
This stays here.
[Charlie] Fine.
[Matt] Fine.
[Kate sighs]
[Charlie sighs]
[Camp Counselor] What's
up, guys? Welcome to camp.
Happy to have you back.
Welcome, welcome.
Good to see you.
[soft tense music continues]
[dramatic string music]
[Dmitri] What is it?
It's Charlie.
He thinks there's something
wrong with his mom.
I mean, everything okay?
I'm not sure.
All right, well.
Take care of it.
I'm going down there, okay?
Mm-hmm.
[soft tense music]
[phone ringing]
Yep.
If anyone wants
to come rescue me,
now would be
a really great time.
[Dawn giggles]
Seriously?
[phone ringing]
- Hi, this is Dawn.
- Come on.
[Dawn] Leave a message.
Dawn, you have to call me, babe.
Where are you?
I need to know that you're okay.
[Dawn] Yousef.
[dramatic string music]
I'll be dead before I finish.
[Yousef]
You think this is funny?
You think this is funny?
I'll be dead before I finish.
- You think this is funny?
- [Dawn groaning]
[both giggling]
[both panting]
[Yousef] You.
[Dawn laughs]
This is what you get
for being so clever.
High thread count for the win.
[Dawn giggles]
Fuck me.
[soft music]
Shh.
- Be quiet.
- Okay, okay.
[Matt giggles]
[Kate] Okay, so I've always
wanted to do a pretty big wedding.
What do you think?
[Dawn]
If you ever are in trouble
or you need a ride
somewhere or anything,
you just go on this app
and you click on it and
it orders you a ride.
It charges to my credit card.
Just so you know, the drivers
on this app are safe for kids.
Does this mean we can go
downtown using this app now?
- It does, Bud.
- Yes!
[Dawn chuckles]
[Dmitri] Look, we could
be overreacting a little.
She has nobody else but me.
What if this is a
big miscommunication?
Are you coming? Yes or no?
You have to go back
to work anyway.
I'm telling you, she would
never ignore Charlie.
There is something wrong.
Hey.
Oh, no, no.
[eerie music]
[clock ticking]
No, oh no.
[Dawn winces]
Unbelievable.
It's quite believable
if you ask me.
Who's there?
Untie me.
Untie you?
And why would I do that?
[tense music]
Okay, have a great time.
You wanna tell me
what's going on here?
Oh, hi.
What?
You live here, yes?
No, I do not live here.
I'm looking for this man.
My husband.
I need to know if he's
in your home right now.
You know what?
This is a private property.
I can't disclose that.
Is that so?
Look, I don't know
my guest personally.
If you wanna knock on the door and see
if somebody answers, you're welcome to.
But I can't let you in.
[pounding on door]
Gabriel!
Gabriel, I know you're in there!
If you don't come out here
and face me like a man,
- I'm gonna...
- Naomi!
What the hell has got into you,
woman? What are you doing here?
This nice lady over here
said I could knock on the door.
And being that
you didn't answer,
I figured it was high
time you knew I was here.
Now show me this bitch!
Hey, it's no one, baby.
Don't call me baby!
Who is it, Gabriel?
You tell me now or I swear
to God I'm gonna...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hang on!
Look, the truth is,
she ain't here.
You're lying.
Come on in.
Have a look around.
[soft tense music]
[Dawn] Are you okay?
- Dawn.
- Are you okay?
- It's okay, it's okay.
- Thank you.
All right, go that way.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hand it to me.
[soft tense music continues]
- Gabriel.
- Where are they?
They went that way.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[gentle music]
What do you say?
We make it easy for her,
just end it now?
I was thinking the same thing.
Then I realized.
What has she done for me?
Let her suffer.
[Dawn] No, listen, listen.
[gun clicks]
Do you remember what I told you?
Do you?
I needed you to protect us.
[Dawn] I did the best I could.
I tried.
Well, try harder!
[suspenseful music]
[Dawn] I did the best I could.
I did. I tried.
[airplane whooshing]
- You April?
- [April] Yes.
Can you drive fast?
I think my mom is in trouble.
Hey Charlie,
if you think this is
some kind of joke,
it's not funny.
Where are you?
I swear this kid.
He's not in there.
Found this.
"Don't worry, Dad.
I got a ride from this app.
I needed to check in on Mom.
Charlie."
That's great.
Okay, let's pack up everything.
He's gonna be fine.
-All right, he's-
-How does a ten-year-old kid
know how to get a ride off,
off an app?
[Dawn gasping]
[eerie music]
Get off me.
[grunts] Get off!
[Dawn blowing]
How could you
forget about me, Dawn?
How could you forget about me?
[soft swanky music]
How could you forget me, Dawn?
Never.
I know.
Never.
[eerie music]
[swanky music]
Hmm.
You know what I
love most about you?
Your warmth, your brilliance.
The fact that you're a mother.
Keep talking.
Where did I find you?
Device.
[soft tense music]
Excuse me,
but who is this in our bed?
Dawn?
Get out.
Spoiler alert.
You're never getting rid of me.
In fact, I just
wanted to remind you
why this is happening to you
is because you put your artistic
endeavors and career first
over me, over your son.
You're the reason
why our marriage failed.
Get out, Matt!
You just had to have
your goals and dreams, huh?
I mean, don't you know,
you can't have it all?
You should be
ashamed of yourself.
And no, I'm not gonna leave.
Not until you understand
what you did to me.
You made me doubt everything
I knew about myself.
I got lost in you.
Lost in some sort of ideal
that I could never live up to.
I mean, you set me up to fail.
So you need to understand
that I survived you.
I pulled myself out of
the ashes you put me in
and I survived
and I found myself again.
The real me.
You know, when I look back
on our times together,
no matter how much it kills me,
no matter how much I wish
I could take it all back,
I know I had to be the one
to move on from you,
for my sake,
for Charlie's sake,
but mostly for yours.
I'm sorry, Matt.
I see it so clearly now.
Dawn, listen to me.
Hey, hey.
Listen to me.
You are in control
of your happiness.
Don't let regret come in here.
[Matt] Says this idealistic fool
with no talent or merit.
You do understand
he's using you, right?
Right? He's trying to get
you all hopped up on him
so he can come in here
and steal your most
prized possession.
You're a hack.
You're an utter hack.
Get the fuck outta my bed.
[glass shatters]
- [Dawn gasps]
- [tense music]
Open your eyes, you coward.
Those eyes.
[guest] Dawn, thanks
for letting us stay
at the chateau in the country.
[guests chattering]
[soft tense music]
[soft tense music continues]
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
[Ramona] You seriously don't
have a goddamn light in here?
[Dawn] Ramona.
If you have time to look for a
light, you have time to untie me.
Not for your ass, I don't.
After what you put me
through, fuck that.
You can rot here and die.
What?
I told you, I don't bite.
From the moment I met you,
this is what I always wanted.
That's what you get
for rejecting me, Dawn.
I mean, us.
- [thud]
- [Dawn gasps]
Touch her again
and I will fuck you up.
Don't you move, bitch.
- Dawn!
- Oh, please.
How long you been
here like this?
Two days.
What is it?
What? What is it?
- What am I doing?
- What?
What?
I think I gotta do
what's best for me, Dawn.
And what's best for me might
not be what's best for you.
No, don't, don't
say that, please.
[upbeat harpsichord music]
They'll never believe
it's your work.
But they will if I wait years
to release.
Nobody will ever know.
And I can be Charlie's mother,
someone who isn't
consumed with her work.
Someone who wants
to build a family.
Someone who can love
Matt unconditionally.
Charlie's my family.
I loved Matt.
I gave him everything I had.
[Kate]
How should we do it first?
The ropes seem to be working.
You should have
made them tighter.
Oh.
If you care truly about Charlie,
you would love his mother.
You would love me.
She would have been so fun.
I know.
[Ramona] What, like the world
will miss another artist?
She's gonna be
a part of the family.
This wasn't the plan.
I wasn't gonna fall in love.
I'll get rid of her.
[Dr. Walters]
Don't you want to invite her?
- It depends.
- Fuck, no.
- You know what?
- Leave her here alone to die.
This is not her fault.
This is my fault.
We can't do this.
She's a single mom.
I say she lives.
- She dies.
- She can't even paint.
Have you seen it?
Have you taken a look?
- [guests chattering]
- [Dawn groaning]
If I steal the art,
it's about when I put it out.
But how long do I wait?
Is it hot in here?
I'm schvitzing.
- Basically, it's mine.
- I can't wait until she's gone.
- Leave her here to die.
- Me too.
She's a single mom.
- I say she lives.
- This is my fault.
We can't do this.
[guests chattering]
- I say she lives.
- She dies.
- I don't want this!
- I want her to be dead.
[Matt] I can't wait
until she's gone.
We need to make her
fucking pay for everything.
[Professor Mead] She wouldn't
be who she is without me!
- She knows she wants it.
- She would have been so fun.
Who are these people?
[guests chattering]
[Gabriel] This is not her
fault. This is my fault.
[guests chattering]
[Ramona] No one will miss her.
[Dawn screams]
Mom!
[knocking on door]
[Dawn panting]
[knocking on door]
[Dawn] Who's there?
[soft tense music]
[Pete] Dawn?
Dawn, you all right?
[Dawn] Pete!
- Dawn?
- [Pete groans]
[Dawn] Oh, no.
[intruder 2] God, where
the hell did he come from?
[intruder 1]
How the fuck do I know?
[door creaks]
[intruder 2] Is he dead?
[intruder 1]
No, he's not dead.
Just shut up, idiot.
[intruder 2] I'm not an idiot.
You're an idiot
for not having shoe game.
[intruder 1] At least
I don't blow my money
on internet gambling.
[soft tense music continues]
You know what?
Let's find the loot
and get outta here, all right?
[intruder 2] I told
you I looked everywhere
and I didn't find anything.
Help.
Please, help.
[intruder 2]
Did you hear that?
Holy fuck.
What the hell is this woman
doing tied up in here?
[knocking on door]
[intruder 1]
Who the fuck is that?
[gun clicks]
[intruder 2] Wait a second.
[intruder 1]
What do you want, kid?
- I'm sorry to interrupt your stay, sir.
- Charlie.
I wanted to see if you heard
from the host.
Other than check in, no,
I haven't heard anything.
Well, I was supposed to pick
up the trash a couple days ago.
Mind if I come in
and do it right now?
The place will start to smell
really bad if I don't.
[intruder 1]
I have a lot of... to do.
Why don't you come back
another time?
[door creaks]
Um, well, it's gonna be bad
if I don't pick it up, so.
[intruder 1] That way.
[soft tense music continues]
Hurry up.
[Charlie] I usually change
out the trash in there too.
No can do, kid.
Sorry, private stuff.
[intruder 2] Who was it?
[intruder 1] Some damn kid.
Waiting for him to scram.
[intruder 2] What the hell
are we gonna do with her?
[intruder 1]
Beat the... out of her
until she tell us
where the loot is.
Yes.
We're here now.
[tense music]
[intruder 2]
I'm not finding...
Hello?
[intruder 1] Give me a minute!
[intruder 2]
Boss says there are places
he wants us to check out.
[intruder 1] Okay, let's go.
Yes, we are here now.
[intruder 2] I didn't sign
up for this, you bastard.
[intruder 1]
Calm the fuck down.
[intruder 2] Oh, my God,
what did you do?
[intruder 1] Nothing.
You're just a little bitch,
you know that?
Back off.
I said back off!
[tense music continues]
Move.
Or what?
You're gonna fucking shoot me?
- [gun fires]
- [intruder 2 screams]
My foot!
My shoe!
What the hell
did you do that for?
[intruder 2 screams]
Untie me.
I'll show you where the loot is.
- [Dawn panting]
- [tense music continues]
[tense music continues]
[intruder 1] Hurry up.
Don't you dare play me.
This way.
I'll show you.
[heartbeat pounding]
[tense music intensifies]
[Dawn grunts]
Don't you dare!
Charlie, come here!
Come here, come here.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Thank you. Thank you.
[gentle music]
I knew something wasn't right.
I know, I know, Charlie.
I love you.
[Charlie] I love you too, Mom.
Are you two okay?
I got here as soon as I could.
Oh, my God.
Hey, I know it's still hard
for you to process right now,
but do you have any idea
who might have done this to you?
Um, a few.
Well, we'll get
to the bottom of this.
[tense music]
Hey, wait.
You know him?
Mm-mm.
All right.
Take him away.
Are you all right?
I... I can't believe
this happened.
This guy saved my life.
[soft tense music]
Does that mean
I'm the man of the house now?
[laughs] Yes, you are.
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.
Dawn, since your home
is now an active crime scene,
we will need to relocate you.
She can stay with us.
Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Yeah, she'll be
in good hands with us.
[Dawn sighs]
I don't bite.
Unless directly
requested to, of course.
Mark my words.
If you say anything...
Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
Back for this.
[tense music]
You make me wanna
do things to you.
Things I can't say out loud.
What I would do
for talent like this.
Dawn, don't you think this
is a little beneath you?
Beneath us, I mean.
[Kate] You're not
worried that, I don't know,
someone's just gonna
come up here and find you?
Come up here and find you?
[knocking on door]
Come in.
I don't mean to intrude.
I just, I forgot
to put out fresh towels.
[soft music]
There you go.
- Dawn?
- Mm-hmm?
I need to come
clean about something.
Okay.
Ever since I met you,
I wanted to prove to Matt
that I could be the partner
he never knew he needed,
the one he never had.
Never did I think that I would
deal with someone like you.
Someone that I would
genuinely be jealous of.
Jealous of your passion,
your freedom to do
whatever you want,
be who whoever you want.
I never had that
or allowed myself to have that,
which is why I decided to
[Dawn gasps] - Make you
this custom brush holder.
- Okay.
- For your brushes.
Oh, wow. That's cool.
Sorry.
I need to apologize
for being an absolute pain.
Can you ever forgive me?
You don't need
to apologize, honestly.
And that is a really
beautiful brush holder.
Thank you.
I'm really happy that Charlie
has you as his other mother.
Matt was lucky to find you.
Oh, God, you have no idea how much
that means for me to hear you say that.
Who knows?
Maybe we could be like sisters.
[Dawn chuckles]
Yeah.
Okay, I will just
leave this for you.
[sighs] Thank God you survived.
It would've really
sucked if you died.
Okay.
[soft tense music]
[sighs]
Come on, babe.
We have to go.
You don't wanna be late.
Okay.
[upbeat music]
We'll go
Just as we take off
Take off into the sky
- Lovers
- Hey, guys.
Nice to meet you.
Take off into the sky
Into the sky
[people chattering]
Ladies and gentlemen, if I
may have your attention, please.
We are here to celebrate
an incredible artist.
Dawn, we have been
doing this art thing
for a good five years now.
[Dawn] Yeah.
Five treacherous,
tumultuous years.
[audience laughs]
In that time,
I have watched you bloom
into an amazing artist
with a distinct
and unique voice.
I wanna personally
thank you for allowing me
to be a part of this journey,
allowing me to be
your gracious mentor.
And I think I speak for
everybody in the room when I say
we are looking forward to seeing
incredible things from
you in the future.
Now to my highly intelligent
art people in the room,
if you are halfway as smart
as you would like us
all to believe you are,
you'll purchase a piece tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you Dawn.
[audience cheering]
Thank you.
You've been guiding me this
past five years with your expertise.
And I know sometimes
you were wondering,
yeah, you wondered.
But I appreciate it a lot.
And thank you, my family
and friends for supporting me.
I know it's been
a roller coaster
and I really appreciate
all that you've given me
as I've tried to create my art.
This last piece is the last
piece of my collection.
It's called "Thirst."
I really struggled to figure
out what to call it until recently.
So, that is it.
If you have any questions, please
feel free to come up and talk to me.
Thank you for being here.
[audience cheering]
Ladies and gentlemen, there
is bar at the back of the room.
Enjoy yourselves.
Thank you.
- [audience cheering]
- Thank you.
[gentle music]
This is Gus,
one of those art community
people I was just telling you about.
- He's a liar.
- Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Exquisite work, Dawn.
- Thank you.
I'd like to make
an offer on "Thirst."
We'd like to mass produce
it on a larger scale.
What?
I hope you consider.
Yes.
- Is this real?
- The answer is yes.
No, yes.
Okay.
That's great.
I'll be in touch with you
this week to work out a deal.
Again, congratulations.
Babe!
Oh, my God.
This is absolutely amazing.
You killed it.
I just can't wait
to go celebrate with you.
Yes, I know.
Me too.
I do need to run back to the
house though, real quick.
I think I forgot
something there, so.
Oh.
Can I meet you at the bar?
- Yeah, yeah. Hurry.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Okay.
- I love you.
- Okay, I love you too.
- I am so proud of you.
Thank you.
Hi.
Congratulations.
This is fantastic.
Thank you.
And really, you do have
a job and this, this is it.
Thank you, Matt.
I do appreciate that.
Thank you both for being here.
My God, of course.
Wouldn't miss it.
It's amazing, really.
What the?
I know.
Didn't Matt do amazing?
[Dawn] Wow.
[Kate] I honestly, I
can't stop looking at it.
[Dawn] This is beautiful.
Thanks to Victoria, really.
[Dawn] What do you mean?
Oh, you know that little
side hustle she has going on.
- No?
- No.
Yeah.
[soft tense music]
[Kate] I know, right?
It's amazing.
[Dawn] What?
[Matt] I just wrote a
check and she delivered.
A hundred percent authentic.
[Kate] We are so proud of you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to say how
much I admire you and your work
and that you're a huge
inspiration to me.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
Hey, superstar.
You are incredible.
[soft tense music continues]
What's wrong?
[Victoria] Are you okay? I got
here as soon as I could.
You should really
demand a cut though.
I actually do need to
stop back at the house.
I think I forgot something.
- Love you.
- Okay.
I'll be right back.
Can you meet me at my house
right now? I think I found something.
Yeah.
Hey, Vicky.
Dawn.
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
Did you find what
you're looking for?
[Victoria] Oh, I'm just looking
for some earrings I lost.
Oh, was it your
diamond earrings?
[Victoria scoffs]
God, I really
thought I knew you.
What are you talking about?
It took me a minute,
but it all started
clicking into place
when I realized
what I stepped on.
You remember the first time
I took Yousef to my loft?
I stepped on a rock
or piece of glass.
It hurt like a bitch.
[soft tense music]
It was a rock, all right.
Well, what does that
have to do with me?
Remember we went to Cape Town
and you handed me your luggage
'cause you said
you were on some list?
- Hey, babe.
- Yeah?
Do you mind holding this for me?
I'm just not in the mood
to be hassled today.
Okay.
[soft tense music continues]
We used to travel
all the time together.
I thought it was because you loved
being with me and the friendship we shared.
I realize now it was merely
to use me as your mule.
[tires screech]
God, I had to pee so bad.
Oh. Thank you for
doing that, by the way.
I guess because I travel
so much, they're onto me.
Hmm.
- Champagne time.
- Yes.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
I feel so naive.
How did I not see the signs?
How did I not?
I have a friend
waiting for me, you know.
This is just rude.
[checker speaking
foreign language]
[Dawn] I should have known.
- Thank you for doing that.
- Sure.
I was on a list.
I'm telling you though,
there is a place
for this in the economy
and your home just
so happens to be a hotspot.
I have to hand it to you.
Pretty good hiding spot.
Because it led me to the truth.
[soft tense music continues]
Dawn, you've been through a lot.
And maybe your mind
is playing tricks on you.
Dmitri?
[Dmitri] We did good.
How good?
[Dmitri] Mm-hmm, you'll see.
[Victoria] Okay.
And just when I
thought I was gonna die,
those fuckers came back.
[intruder 1] We're here now.
[intruder 2] I didn't sign
up for this, you bastard.
[Dawn] So what, you were just
siphoning diamonds off Dmitri?
[Dmitri] Look, we could
be overreacting a little.
She has nobody else but me.
You just lie and lie.
Is this new? I haven't seen it.
Oh.
[camera shutter clicks]
I've had this for a few months.
Did I never show you?
- You have? It's so pretty.
- Thank you.
Dawn...
I would never do anything
to intentionally
hurt you or Charlie.
None of this was supposed to
happen. You have to believe me.
You almost killed me.
[soft tense music continues]
Charlie almost
didn't have a mom.
I almost died 'cause of this.
I had a plan
and it was gonna be good.
Believe me.
This was not supposed to happen.
And I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
Get the fuck outta my house!
-Dawn-
-Or better yet,
you'll be escorted.
Dawn, I...
What the hell?
Get your hands off me.
Dawn!
Be well, Victoria.
[Victoria] Dawn!
[police radio chattering]
[soft tense music continues]
Great work.
Is it enough?
More than enough.
This coupled with the
evidence and testimony,
she'll have no choice but to take
a plea deal and cooperate with us.
And what will happen to her?
Well, she does what she's
asked in catching him.
She'll be okay.
Okay.
[dramatic string music]
[tense music]
[diamonds clattering]
[dramatic string music]
This all of them?
I'll be.
[upbeat harpsichord music]
We did background checks
on your people.
Your girl is with
a really bad guy.
And as painful
as this is gonna be tonight,
it's the right thing to do.
[dramatic string music]
Okay.
Police!
[Dmitri speaking
foreign language]
Oh, God.
[Yousef]
Same nightmare with the ants?
Yeah.
- Come here, babe.
- Ah.
[Dawn moans]
Get up. Get up!
It's time to make pancakes!
Oh!
- Come on!
- Hey, Charlie.
[Yousef laughs]
Oh, my God, is it
pancake time already?
Yeah.
Come on.
Okay. All right.
All right, let's do it, okay.
No, no, no.
I got this.
Really?
Yeah, you sit there
and be beautiful.
[Dawn laughs]
What flavor do you want?
[Charlie]
Chocolate chip, please.
[Dawn sighs]
[upbeat pop music]
Invisible
Living without choice
Is a life without a voice
When you can't even say
My name
I can't play this game
So I ask again
Will you say
My name
Has the memory gone
Are you feeling numb
Have we all become
Invisible
[upbeat harpsichord music]
[gentle tense music]
[gentle tense music continues]
[Matt] Spoiler alert,
you're never getting rid of me.
[Professor Mead] What I would do
for talent like this.
[Dr. Walters] I don't bite.
[Ramona] Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
[Matt] I just wanted to remind
you why this is happening to you.
[Gabriel] Mark my words,
if you say anything to anyone...
[Dr. Walters] I don't bite.
[Gabriel] I'll end you.
[Dr. Walters] Not unless
directly requested, of course.
[Yousef] You make me
wanna do things to you.
Things that I
can't say out loud.
[Matt] I mean, don't you know,
you can't have it all?
[gentle pensive music continues]
[door creaks]
[gentle pensive music continues]
[Charlie] Wow, Mom.
This is the most
we've ever picked.
I know. That fertilizer
this fall really did the trick.
Will you grab that one?
Thank you.
What? Whoa.
[gentle pensive music continues]
[Charlie] I'll go get my bag.
Okay, you go get your bag.
[Dawn sighs]
[Charlie] Mom, you coming?
Yeah, coming.
[ominous music]
[Charlie] Mom!
I'll be right there, buddy.
Look at these peaches.
Okay, here we go.
No shells.
Wow.
[Charlie] It smells yummy.
We got cinnamon.
You like it 'cause it has sugar.
Yes.
Mr. Sugar Man.
All right.
There we are.
[Charlie] I can't wait.
Yeah!
[ominous music]
All right, time for to bed.
Can I just stay
with you this week?
No, Charlie,
you cannot stay with me.
You have to go to your dad's.
I hate camping.
Charlie Reynolds, you
do not hate camping.
You love camping.
He's only taking me
because of her, isn't he?
No.
[birds chirping]
Okay.
Hey, Charlie, time to get up.
We're gonna be late.
[phone ringing]
[Pete] Hey, it's Pete, your local
handyman. Leave a message.
Pete, it's Dawn. Hi!
Listen, I have a favor.
I just found these
crazy red fire ants
outside by the
pathway in the back,
and I really need your help.
Can I pay you extra?
Maybe you can come over
by the end of the week.
I would appreciate it.
I love you, Pete. Bye.
You love Pete, Mom?
Yes.
I mean, not in that way,
but yes, of course.
He's my friend.
Well, I thought I was
the man of the house.
You are the man of the house.
And when you get bigger,
you will really be helpful here.
Okay, can you finish up?
We gotta go.
Thank you.
[computer chimes]
[door creaks]
[Charlie] Why are
they called fire ants?
Um, I'm actually not sure
what kind of ants those are,
but they're called fire ants
because when they bite you,
the sting feels like
fire on your skin.
Don't wanna go near those then.
[soft tense music]
[Dawn] He's excited.
Good. Me too.
Hey, listen, bud, why don't
you run inside real quick
so I can talk to Mom, right?
I got a surprise
for you on my desk.
See you later, Mom.
Love you.
[Dawn] I love you, buddy.
[Charlie] I'll call you.
Okay.
[Matt sighs]
Here you go.
Down to three hours this week.
Oh, wow. That's great.
New record.
[Dawn] Yeah.
Hey, listen, Dawn, um,
I figure I should let you know.
Kate and I, we're gonna
get engaged this week.
Wow.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- Hopefully. Hopefully.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- That's huge.
Charlie might be just
a little adverse to it,
but I'll work with him on it.
He'll be totally fine.
As long as she's
great to Charlie,
that's all I care about.
Okay, all right, well have fun.
I'm gonna get going.
I have to go get my
vacation rental ready
and I ran out toilet paper.
All right.
Well, listen, one other thing.
- How's the portfolio coming?
- [sighs]
You're almost done
with that, right?
I mean, it's been three
years in the making.
Four.
But who's counting?
As long as you're
crossing the finish line,
that's all that matters.
But you need to get a job.
I'm not a maid, Matt.
I'm just cleaning for
the vacation rental
so I can make extra money.
I'm an artist.
Well, listen, I'm just gonna
put it out there right now,
but I think Charlie should
live with me full time.
[tense music]
Oh, really?
So you think now
that you're sober,
that you're a family man?
I think he needs to get
back into normal society
instead of living in
some sort of fantasy land
with his mommy, right?
What?
Okay, first of all,
if he comes to you,
he's just gonna
be glued to media
while you work endless hours.
It's for his own good.
It is not for
his own good, okay?
I will get my portfolio done
and then I can afford
to move into the city
and we'll be fine, okay?
This is the predicament
you put me in,
you put Charlie and I in,
is your fuck ups, okay?
Okay, well then I have no choice
but to get full custody.
The judge is gonna
side with me too, Dawn,
because your house isn't safe,
especially with that
incident on record already
from one of your other guests.
Oh, God.
[engine rumbling]
[phone ringing]
Well, that didn't go well.
Plan B it is.
[ominous music]
Hey, just this.
[phone ringing]
Victoria.
Just had the worst
run in with Matt ever.
Babe, drop everything
and come to Saint-Tropez
with me like old times.
- Champagne time?
- Yes.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
I'm so upset I can't
even see straight.
[Victoria] Deep breaths, babe.
Deep breaths.
He's going for full custody.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
I need a lawyer.
I need to finish my portfolio.
Listen, do not let that
ex-fucker get inside your head.
[selfie camera clicking] - You dumped
him because he was a deadbeat dad
and he cheated on you.
Yeah, no, and
apparently, you know,
he's a great catch now.
[chuckles]
Why didn't I get that version?
Listen to me.
You are brilliant.
You're a wonderful mom.
You are a talented artist.
And he's just totally fucked.
Of course
he's gonna give you hell.
And he's getting
engaged this weekend.
Honestly, I feel bad for her.
I know. Me too.
- You know what you need?
- What?
- To get laid.
- Oh!
When was the last time you
logged into that kick ass dating profile
that I made for you?
I don't have time.
When are you back?
A week.
I'm going with Dmitri.
To be childless and free again.
Babe, come on.
Just come with me.
Oh, yeah. I wish.
I can't.
- My phone's about to die.
- [phone chimes]
Yeah, I'm at the airport.
Wine time when I get back?
Call me when you get
there, okay? Safe travels.
[Victoria] Love you.
[Dawn] Love you. Bye.
[Victoria] Hi.
[tense music]
Hello?
I'm sorry,
the home isn't ready yet.
Can you please come back?
I would really appreciate it.
[Dawn gasps]
[soft tense music]
[Dawn inhales deeply]
[Dawn exhales deeply]
[Dawn winces]
This is a bad dream.
[Dawn groans]
[bed creaking]
[Dawn groaning]
[dramatic string music]
I'm being punished.
[dramatic string
music continues]
Fuck.
[soft tense music]
What time is it?
[clock ticking]
When does a guest arrive?
[computer chimes]
You can do this.
[ominous music]
[gentle music]
[Charlie] See you later, Mom.
Love you.
You have time.
[airplane whooshing]
[announcer speaking
foreign language]
[clock ticking]
Oh, please get here.
Please.
[phone chimes]
Pete, it's Dawn. Hi.
Can I pay you extra?
Maybe you can come over
by the end of the week.
I love you, Pete. Bye.
All right, looks good.
Let's move on to the
next section, yeah?
[clock ticking]
- [tense music]
- [door creaks]
[thuds]
Oh, thank God.
Hello! Back here.
Please, can you help?
Please, please?
Back here.
Oh, thank God.
Hello?
Hello?
[Dawn gasping]
- Shh!
- Get off me.
- [hand slaps]
- [Dawn groans]
- [Dawn gasping]
- [gravel crunching]
Mrs. Bower!
Mrs. Bower! Help!
[knocking on door]
Dawn, package for you.
You can't leave me here
like this.
Mrs. Bower, help!
[Dawn groans]
Get me outta here!
[gentle music]
[soft tense music]
[clock ticking]
[Dawn crying]
[Dawn screaming]
[ominous music]
Professor Mead.
[soft tense music]
Wow.
Yeah.
I would say you are
more than ready.
That's it.
- I'm booking a gallery space.
- [Dawn gasps]
- Four weeks from now.
- What?
Four weeks?
Mm-hmm.
It's time.
Finish this.
Let's move forward
on getting you graduated.
Okay! [Laughs]
All right.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm gonna take off.
[Dawn] Okay.
Man.
What I would do
for talent like this.
I'm gone.
[Dawn squeals]
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Hey, how about
this, Charlie, huh?
An old fashioned Girl
Scout we got here.
Wow. Good job, Kate.
We've got some
hobo dinners going.
Charlie, you ever
had a hobo dinner?
Yeah, my mom makes
them all the time.
Not all the time.
Come on, Charlie.
How would you know?
The only reason you're taking
us camping is because of her.
In fact, we've never
done anything like this.
[Charlie groans]
It's my fault.
I was a different man back then.
Paying for it now.
You gotta stop beating
yourself up about it.
It's in the past, okay?
You are a different man now.
Besides, he shouldn't talk
to you like that anyway.
Honestly, he needs
to learn more respect.
All the more reason
to go for full custody.
I love you.
[phone ringing]
Come on, Mom.
Why won't you answer me?
Hi, this is Dawn.
Leave a message.
[phone beeps]
[phone ringing]
[Dawn gasps]
Charlie.
Hi, this is Dawn.
[Charlie] And Charlie.
[Charlie And Dawn] Please
leave a message. Bye!
[answer machine beeps]
[Charlie] Mom,
why aren't you answering?
Charlie, I'm right here, buddy.
I'm gonna find a way to get up.
[phone ringing]
[Charlie groans]
How long?
[Matt] Pimping your
house to make ends meet
while you experiment in the loft
doing whatever it is
you do calling it art
just doesn't look good,
especially with that incident
on record already
from one of your other guests.
[soft tense music]
Oh, hi.
You must be...
Ramona.
Ramona. Hi.
Welcome to the Chateau
in the Country.
And you are here because?
[Dawn] I'm the host, Dawn.
Yeah, I know that.
I've never had a host
greet me in person before.
I'm sorry.
I'm pretty new at this.
No kidding.
You have nothing to worry about.
I stay in vacation rentals
like yours all the time.
This one is beautiful.
Private.
Priced right.
[Dawn chuckle]
Well, I do have
guests arriving soon
and I need to freshen up.
Everything I need to know
is in the app or in this book?
In that book.
Yeah, right there.
Sure, all right,
well, I will be going,
so if you have any questions
- I'll be sure to message you.
- Great.
Okay.
Oh, you can blow the candle out.
I just thought it smelled good.
Oh, and there's also some
really good ice cream
in the fridge, freezer.
You can have it.
Eat it all.
I just thought maybe
you'd want some.
Okay. Bye.
Okay, thank you. Bye.
[Ramona sighs]
[soft curious music]
Hey, Mrs. Bower,
your garden's looking beautiful.
[soft curious music continues]
[gravel crunching]
[car door closes]
Hi, baby.
Hi, darling.
Follow me.
Huh.
[soft tense music]
[Dawn sighs]
[computer chimes]
[guest messages chattering]
Doctor Walter.
[soft tense music]
Oh, he's here early.
[swanky music]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Dr. Walter. I'm Dawn.
Hi, Dawn.
My ETA on my GPS
is totally wack.
Complete liar.
I'm so sorry I'm really...
- No, you just come on in.
- I can wait in the car
- if you're not ready.
- The house is ready.
- We are good.
- So beautiful.
Are you kidding me?
- Look at this.
- Thank you.
You're the owner?
Yeah, my grandmother
left it to me
right after I got married.
And then about a year ago,
I spruced it up and just
decided to rent it out.
God, it...
I met so many great people
from around the world.
Who wouldn't want
to rent this place?
It's just stunning.
Thank you.
So you and your
husband live on property?
Are you guys in town or?
Oh, well, I'm divorced,
but no, I live in town.
And you're here,
you're celebrating
your anniversary?
Yes, yes.
Five years.
- Wow, okay.
- Five years
and three years in November.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
So what is that secret
to keeping this spark alive?
Oh.
Polyamory.
Huh?
Yeah, that and role play,
just to keep it interesting.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
My wife and our girlfriend
are on their way here right now.
My wife is gonna be
dressed as dominatrix
and our girlfriend
will be a lifeguard.
- No way.
- Way.
Because tonight I'm going,
I'm a drowning man
who needs to be
punished in need of CPR,
before CPR.
- Oh, my God.
- Or after,
depending on if I want
the CO2 cut off.
Ooh.
- Wow.
- I know.
- It's a lot.
- Okay, well I'm gonna
get going and let you two,
I mean you three, have at it.
[Dr. Walters]
You said that, didn't you?
Router's in here
just in case you need
to reset the Wi-Fi.
- That's the Wi-Fi.
- Need a hand with it?
Let me help you.
- Yeah, can you get that in.
- Elbow grease.
- Okay, sorry.
- There's that.
Right there.
Yeah.
Did you just smell me?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
Oh.
And you smell lovely.
If you're not busy later
and you are interested,
I'd love for you to meet them.
[laughs] Really?
- Yeah.
Oh, you're so sweet.
Well, listen, the
manual's in the front room
and if you need anything,
just message me.
We have lots of costumes.
I have costumes.
I don't bite, you know?
Not unless directly
requested, of course.
Okay. All right.
Talk to you later.
[swanky music continues]
Love your taste.
[computer chiming]
[soft curious music]
[clock ticking]
[man] Is someone there?
Hello?
Hello?
Is someone there?
I swear, if someone's
there, come on out.
- Now!
- Gabriel.
Hi, Gabriel.
It's Dawn, the host.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
No.
Just go away. You're
not supposed to be here.
Why are you here?
Gabrielle, I'm sorry.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my.
Come here, come here.
Oh.
I'll bring you inside and we
can make some tea and talk.
I have to go back
to my wife now.
[tense music]
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
[water dripping]
[soft tense music]
[Ramona chattering]
[Dawn] Huh.
What?
- Let me see.
- Okay.
[Victoria] Oh, yeah.
Yep, she's a pimp.
No way.
That bitch is a baller.
Oh, hell no.
[Dawn chuckles]
[Victoria and Dawn laugh]
- Whoa.
- [phone chimes]
What was that?
[Victoria] Something I should
have done a long time ago.
What did you...
No, Victoria.
I said no dating apps.
Oh, my God, that guy is so hot.
Swipe right.
Oh, look,
he's messaging you right now.
What?
Come on, Dawn.
You have got to get out
and live a little,
like invite him to tea
or whatever you do.
Hi, this is Dawn.
I am looking for a detective
that could help me.
There's some illegal activity
happening around my house.
It's actually inside my house.
Okay.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
Ugh.
[tense music]
[Dawn groaning]
[Dawn gasps]
Mrs. Bower.
Mrs. Bower!
Please, listen to me!
I grabbed your mail
again for you, Dawn.
Mrs. Bower!
[engine rumbles]
Charlie, I love you buddy.
Hey, what do you think
you're doing, buddy?
I'm worried about Mom.
She isn't calling me back
or answering any of my calls.
'Cause she's probably sleeping.
But she'd always text me back.
Leave it be, okay?
She's taking a break, bud.
Besides, I need you, huh?
You remember what
we talked about?
I'll do everything
you need me to do
if you let me call Mom later.
All right, deal.
You two are awfully quiet.
What's this about?
Well, I was just
telling Charlie here
how beautiful it is and
how we need to make a deal
to come up here more often.
[sighs]
All right, come on, gang.
Let's go.
[soft tense music]
[guest]
Dawn, thank you so much for...
[guests chattering]
[Ramona] Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
Ramona.
This is ridiculous.
A group of women can't have
a fucking slumber party?
You have the right
to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
You have the right
to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one,
one will be appointed for you.
Do you understand these rights?
You might as well be bots,
free enterprise with
a fucking clone.
Ma'am, do you understand?
Fuck, yes, of course.
Now get on with it.
[Ramona grunts]
Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
[Ramona spits]
They said this was safe!
Safe and illegal
are two different things, sir.
Matt.
[tense music]
[Matt] The judge is gonna
side with me too, Dawn,
'cause your house isn't safe.
Especially with that
incident on record already
from one of your other guests.
Happy birthday
Dear Charlie
Happy birthday to you
[all applauding]
[all cheering]
All right!
- Can you do the cake?
- Yes.
- I'll get the game.
- Okay.
All right.
Big piece, little piece?
Little piece.
Okay, here we go.
Whoo!
Run, run, run, run, run.
You got it, you got it.
Hey, bud.
What's goin' on?
Why does he have to bring her?
Maybe he needed a friend.
Look at it this way.
You have a new helper.
So, while they're
cutting the cake,
I can play ball with you.
Well, I guess.
We want your dad
to be happy, don't we?
Yeah.
But why can't he be with you?
Bud, it's okay.
I think we should give
her a chance, okay?
- Okay.
- She's pretty nice.
And as long as
she's good to you,
that's all that matters, right?
I want you to go enjoy your
birthday and play ball, okay?
- Okay.
- All right.
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
If you wanna go play ball,
I can help do the cake.
The least we can do
is help clean up.
Yeah.
[Dawn] Okay.
Looks like he's having
a good time, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
- He killed it.
- Yeah.
Hey, listen, do
you have a moment?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've got this.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
So what is this about renting
the house to vacationers?
Oh, I'm just doing it as
like a side thing, you know,
to make some extra money.
Yeah, okay, Dawn. But don't
you think that's a little below you?
Below us, I mean?
[Dawn scoffs]
I mean, first of all,
there's not an us anymore.
And second of all, this is my house
and my business and my life now.
So this is what I have to do
to survive, Matt, okay?
I'm not receiving
anything from you.
Right, all right.
Here we go again.
Whatever.
[soft tense music]
What was that?
Remind me when
this will be over.
You've got one more hour.
[laughs] Yeah, no, not that.
[Dawn] Let's go, Charlie.
[Dawn scoffs]
You know, sometimes I wish it was
just you, me and Charlie, you know?
Yeah, me too.
Whoo-hoo!
[Dawn applauding]
Let's see.
Oh, Charlie, you got it.
You got it. You got it.
[soft tense music]
Whoo!
[Dawn cheering]
[ominous music]
Remember I'm counting
on you, all right?
Kate?
Oh, my God.
There's no one else
I wanna do life with.
I mean, you make me
the happiest man.
[soft music]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Will you marry me?
Oh, my God.
Yes, yes, Matt, yes, yes!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Babe, it's beautiful.
Oh, my God.
Charlie, did you get it?
Charlie, did you know
about this the whole time?
Okay, come here, come here.
Let's all take a
picture together, okay?
[camera shutter clicks]
I just love this new
little family of mine.
Don't forget our deal, Dad.
Yes, at the bottom of the hill.
Someone's in a hurry.
Yeah, don't mind him.
He's in a bit of a mood.
[both giggling]
[dramatic string music]
[Dawn groaning]
Come on.
[clock ticking]
Charlie.
- I'll end you.
- I don't bite.
- Beneath you.
- Link.
- Beneath us.
- Bite.
[Gabriel]
Mark my words, mark my words.
I don't bite
unless directly
requested to, of course.
You say anything to anyone,
I'll end you.
Bitch, I'll get
you back for this!
Dawn, don't you think
that's a little beneath you?
Beneath us?
What I would do
for talent like this.
No, there's no way it's him.
You make me wanna
do things to you.
Things I can't say out loud.
Yousef?
- Dawn!
- Hi.
So, so, so nice to meet you.
- So nice to meet.
- Nice to meet you.
Please take a seat.
Wow. You're even prettier
in real life
than in your photos.
Oh, you're so nice.
You know, you're not
bad looking yourself.
- [Yousef] Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much
for meeting me here.
This is one of my
favorite spots.
Oh, yeah, no, I see why.
It's very pink.
It's pink.
Mm-hmm.
So tell me,
how long have you
been on the app?
Oh, not long at all.
You?
[Yousef] You're my first date.
Really?
Yeah, no, honestly.
Wait, couldn't you tell by my
most awkward greeting of you?
No, it's my first date.
I swear on my father's grave.
Well, same.
But not on your father's.
My mother's grave.
- Right.
- That's weird.
[both laughing]
[Yousef] Let's keep our
dead parents out of this.
That's a good idea.
Yeah, that app.
Yeah, apps are weird.
[Yousef] Yeah.
I actually didn't swipe on you.
My friend did.
But she has good taste, so.
She has impeccable
taste clearly.
I know.
She does have great taste.
So thank her from me.
This app thing is so weird.
Oh, my God. It's so weird.
I know.
[Yousef] So you have a son?
Yes.
Charlie. Do you
wanna see a picture?
Yeah. Do I?
Okay.
Here is a picture of him.
Oh, my God.
What a cutie.
[Dawn laughs]
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
- That's amazing.
- Thank you.
Do you have kids?
No.
I would love to have kids.
Life hasn't really worked
out for me in that way.
I was with someone who didn't really
know whether she wanted kids or not
and finally I realized
that I did.
And now this is awkward.
And I dunno else to say.
I'd love to be a dad one day.
[gentle music]
[Dawn] I mean...
[both laughing]
Depends on what side
of the roof you're on.
Okay.
I don't what that even means.
Well, thank you.
This was way more
fun than I expected.
No, thank you.
We should do it again sometime.
Okay.
- Good.
- Okay.
Bye.
Aw.
It was really nice to meet you.
[Dawn] Same with you.
- All right.
- All right.
Oh, you know, I'm having
this little dinner party
at my house Saturday,
If you wanna come.
If you feel like stopping by,
you can.
[Yousef] I'd love to.
Okay.
I'll send you the info.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
[Yousef] All right.
[Dawn laughs]
- Bye.
- Bye.
[gentle music]
[people chattering]
[Dawn] Here we go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
To our brilliant,
gorgeous friend
on this incredible evening
with the most amazing spread.
Thank you for spoiling us.
Aw, thank you.
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
- [gentle music continues]
- [all chattering]
[Dawn] Yeah.
Dawn, these are amazing.
- [gentle music]
- [Dawn chuckles]
Victoria's right.
I mean, how long have you
been working on these?
Oh, years.
I mean, I started these
before grad school
and then I figured
I'd get my MFA.
That would be my best shot
at breaking through,
finding my voice, all that.
Finishing this collection.
[Yousef] What about this one?
Oh, that one, not finished yet,
but I think might be
my favorite so far.
Yeah?
What makes it your favorite?
'Cause it translates
what I'm trying to say the most.
[Yousef] And what's that?
Well, that's for you,
the audience,
to decide, isn't it?
[both chuckle]
You make me wanna
do things to you
I can't say out loud.
[gentle music continues]
[Dawn giggles]
- Ow!
- Oh, shit.
Sorry, did I...
[Dawn] No, no, no.
Oh, I just stepped on something.
[Dawn winces]
[Yousef]
Right, let me have a look.
[Dawn] What was that?
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
[Dawn laughs]
Better?
[Dawn] Yes.
How about this?
[Dawn giggling]
It's true. [Laughs]
[Dmitri] How was your walk?
It was good.
The view was breathtaking.
I will help.
You get outta the kitchen.
I got this. Thank you.
Hi.
[Dawn giggling]
Yeah.
On a scale of one to ten?
I would say easily a nine.
Stop it.
Mm-hmm.
I like him.
Do you think he's a good guy?
I do.
I mean, we talked for like
three hours when we met.
That's not normal, is it?
It's not.
And I trust your
instincts, believe me.
But you are
a little new at this.
Just be careful 'cause it's
very hard to spot the crazies.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll be careful.
Is that new around your neck?
I haven't...
Oh, I've had this for a few months
I think. Have I not showed you?
No, I mean, your endorsements
I think are really finally paying off.
You've been doing a lot of
the hard work and good for you.
Thank you.
But whatever about me,
I am so happy for you.
Oh, my God,
I needed it so badly.
See? I was right.
You were, you were.
Okay, that's enough now.
I need her back.
Hello.
I'll return her in one piece.
- I see how it is.
- Where are you taking me?
We're having a little dance.
Let me see your twirls.
[gentle music continues]
[phone beeps]
[Charlie] Mom, are you there?
I know something isn't right.
I need you
to call me back, please.
I love you.
[answering machine beeps]
I'm here, Charlie.
[soft tense music]
I should finish getting ready.
Yeah.
Thank you.
[cell phone vibrating]
Ooh, cant' wait. I'm starving.
This is Victoria.
Leave a message.
[phone beeps]
V, my mom is not answering
and I'm really worried about her.
And my dad is too busy
with his face stuck
to his fiancee to give a crap.
Please call me back.
All right, bud. Time's up.
[Charlie] But Dad...
You tried calling her?
Well, if she didn't answer, she didn't
answer. I don't know what to tell you.
[Charlie] You're wrong.
Come on, let's go.
Lemme see you.
[soft tense music]
[phone beeps]
What?
[Kate] What's going on?
You wouldn't understand.
[Matt] Charlie.
Dad, you're not listening to me.
Charlie.
Enough.
Enough, okay?
Now go down the path
and play with those kids
we saw at the camp, all right?
This stays here.
[Charlie] Fine.
[Matt] Fine.
[Kate sighs]
[Charlie sighs]
[Camp Counselor] What's
up, guys? Welcome to camp.
Happy to have you back.
Welcome, welcome.
Good to see you.
[soft tense music continues]
[dramatic string music]
[Dmitri] What is it?
It's Charlie.
He thinks there's something
wrong with his mom.
I mean, everything okay?
I'm not sure.
All right, well.
Take care of it.
I'm going down there, okay?
Mm-hmm.
[soft tense music]
[phone ringing]
Yep.
If anyone wants
to come rescue me,
now would be
a really great time.
[Dawn giggles]
Seriously?
[phone ringing]
- Hi, this is Dawn.
- Come on.
[Dawn] Leave a message.
Dawn, you have to call me, babe.
Where are you?
I need to know that you're okay.
[Dawn] Yousef.
[dramatic string music]
I'll be dead before I finish.
[Yousef]
You think this is funny?
You think this is funny?
I'll be dead before I finish.
- You think this is funny?
- [Dawn groaning]
[both giggling]
[both panting]
[Yousef] You.
[Dawn laughs]
This is what you get
for being so clever.
High thread count for the win.
[Dawn giggles]
Fuck me.
[soft music]
Shh.
- Be quiet.
- Okay, okay.
[Matt giggles]
[Kate] Okay, so I've always
wanted to do a pretty big wedding.
What do you think?
[Dawn]
If you ever are in trouble
or you need a ride
somewhere or anything,
you just go on this app
and you click on it and
it orders you a ride.
It charges to my credit card.
Just so you know, the drivers
on this app are safe for kids.
Does this mean we can go
downtown using this app now?
- It does, Bud.
- Yes!
[Dawn chuckles]
[Dmitri] Look, we could
be overreacting a little.
She has nobody else but me.
What if this is a
big miscommunication?
Are you coming? Yes or no?
You have to go back
to work anyway.
I'm telling you, she would
never ignore Charlie.
There is something wrong.
Hey.
Oh, no, no.
[eerie music]
[clock ticking]
No, oh no.
[Dawn winces]
Unbelievable.
It's quite believable
if you ask me.
Who's there?
Untie me.
Untie you?
And why would I do that?
[tense music]
Okay, have a great time.
You wanna tell me
what's going on here?
Oh, hi.
What?
You live here, yes?
No, I do not live here.
I'm looking for this man.
My husband.
I need to know if he's
in your home right now.
You know what?
This is a private property.
I can't disclose that.
Is that so?
Look, I don't know
my guest personally.
If you wanna knock on the door and see
if somebody answers, you're welcome to.
But I can't let you in.
[pounding on door]
Gabriel!
Gabriel, I know you're in there!
If you don't come out here
and face me like a man,
- I'm gonna...
- Naomi!
What the hell has got into you,
woman? What are you doing here?
This nice lady over here
said I could knock on the door.
And being that
you didn't answer,
I figured it was high
time you knew I was here.
Now show me this bitch!
Hey, it's no one, baby.
Don't call me baby!
Who is it, Gabriel?
You tell me now or I swear
to God I'm gonna...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hang on!
Look, the truth is,
she ain't here.
You're lying.
Come on in.
Have a look around.
[soft tense music]
[Dawn] Are you okay?
- Dawn.
- Are you okay?
- It's okay, it's okay.
- Thank you.
All right, go that way.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hand it to me.
[soft tense music continues]
- Gabriel.
- Where are they?
They went that way.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
[gentle music]
What do you say?
We make it easy for her,
just end it now?
I was thinking the same thing.
Then I realized.
What has she done for me?
Let her suffer.
[Dawn] No, listen, listen.
[gun clicks]
Do you remember what I told you?
Do you?
I needed you to protect us.
[Dawn] I did the best I could.
I tried.
Well, try harder!
[suspenseful music]
[Dawn] I did the best I could.
I did. I tried.
[airplane whooshing]
- You April?
- [April] Yes.
Can you drive fast?
I think my mom is in trouble.
Hey Charlie,
if you think this is
some kind of joke,
it's not funny.
Where are you?
I swear this kid.
He's not in there.
Found this.
"Don't worry, Dad.
I got a ride from this app.
I needed to check in on Mom.
Charlie."
That's great.
Okay, let's pack up everything.
He's gonna be fine.
-All right, he's-
-How does a ten-year-old kid
know how to get a ride off,
off an app?
[Dawn gasping]
[eerie music]
Get off me.
[grunts] Get off!
[Dawn blowing]
How could you
forget about me, Dawn?
How could you forget about me?
[soft swanky music]
How could you forget me, Dawn?
Never.
I know.
Never.
[eerie music]
[swanky music]
Hmm.
You know what I
love most about you?
Your warmth, your brilliance.
The fact that you're a mother.
Keep talking.
Where did I find you?
Device.
[soft tense music]
Excuse me,
but who is this in our bed?
Dawn?
Get out.
Spoiler alert.
You're never getting rid of me.
In fact, I just
wanted to remind you
why this is happening to you
is because you put your artistic
endeavors and career first
over me, over your son.
You're the reason
why our marriage failed.
Get out, Matt!
You just had to have
your goals and dreams, huh?
I mean, don't you know,
you can't have it all?
You should be
ashamed of yourself.
And no, I'm not gonna leave.
Not until you understand
what you did to me.
You made me doubt everything
I knew about myself.
I got lost in you.
Lost in some sort of ideal
that I could never live up to.
I mean, you set me up to fail.
So you need to understand
that I survived you.
I pulled myself out of
the ashes you put me in
and I survived
and I found myself again.
The real me.
You know, when I look back
on our times together,
no matter how much it kills me,
no matter how much I wish
I could take it all back,
I know I had to be the one
to move on from you,
for my sake,
for Charlie's sake,
but mostly for yours.
I'm sorry, Matt.
I see it so clearly now.
Dawn, listen to me.
Hey, hey.
Listen to me.
You are in control
of your happiness.
Don't let regret come in here.
[Matt] Says this idealistic fool
with no talent or merit.
You do understand
he's using you, right?
Right? He's trying to get
you all hopped up on him
so he can come in here
and steal your most
prized possession.
You're a hack.
You're an utter hack.
Get the fuck outta my bed.
[glass shatters]
- [Dawn gasps]
- [tense music]
Open your eyes, you coward.
Those eyes.
[guest] Dawn, thanks
for letting us stay
at the chateau in the country.
[guests chattering]
[soft tense music]
[soft tense music continues]
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
[Ramona] You seriously don't
have a goddamn light in here?
[Dawn] Ramona.
If you have time to look for a
light, you have time to untie me.
Not for your ass, I don't.
After what you put me
through, fuck that.
You can rot here and die.
What?
I told you, I don't bite.
From the moment I met you,
this is what I always wanted.
That's what you get
for rejecting me, Dawn.
I mean, us.
- [thud]
- [Dawn gasps]
Touch her again
and I will fuck you up.
Don't you move, bitch.
- Dawn!
- Oh, please.
How long you been
here like this?
Two days.
What is it?
What? What is it?
- What am I doing?
- What?
What?
I think I gotta do
what's best for me, Dawn.
And what's best for me might
not be what's best for you.
No, don't, don't
say that, please.
[upbeat harpsichord music]
They'll never believe
it's your work.
But they will if I wait years
to release.
Nobody will ever know.
And I can be Charlie's mother,
someone who isn't
consumed with her work.
Someone who wants
to build a family.
Someone who can love
Matt unconditionally.
Charlie's my family.
I loved Matt.
I gave him everything I had.
[Kate]
How should we do it first?
The ropes seem to be working.
You should have
made them tighter.
Oh.
If you care truly about Charlie,
you would love his mother.
You would love me.
She would have been so fun.
I know.
[Ramona] What, like the world
will miss another artist?
She's gonna be
a part of the family.
This wasn't the plan.
I wasn't gonna fall in love.
I'll get rid of her.
[Dr. Walters]
Don't you want to invite her?
- It depends.
- Fuck, no.
- You know what?
- Leave her here alone to die.
This is not her fault.
This is my fault.
We can't do this.
She's a single mom.
I say she lives.
- She dies.
- She can't even paint.
Have you seen it?
Have you taken a look?
- [guests chattering]
- [Dawn groaning]
If I steal the art,
it's about when I put it out.
But how long do I wait?
Is it hot in here?
I'm schvitzing.
- Basically, it's mine.
- I can't wait until she's gone.
- Leave her here to die.
- Me too.
She's a single mom.
- I say she lives.
- This is my fault.
We can't do this.
[guests chattering]
- I say she lives.
- She dies.
- I don't want this!
- I want her to be dead.
[Matt] I can't wait
until she's gone.
We need to make her
fucking pay for everything.
[Professor Mead] She wouldn't
be who she is without me!
- She knows she wants it.
- She would have been so fun.
Who are these people?
[guests chattering]
[Gabriel] This is not her
fault. This is my fault.
[guests chattering]
[Ramona] No one will miss her.
[Dawn screams]
Mom!
[knocking on door]
[Dawn panting]
[knocking on door]
[Dawn] Who's there?
[soft tense music]
[Pete] Dawn?
Dawn, you all right?
[Dawn] Pete!
- Dawn?
- [Pete groans]
[Dawn] Oh, no.
[intruder 2] God, where
the hell did he come from?
[intruder 1]
How the fuck do I know?
[door creaks]
[intruder 2] Is he dead?
[intruder 1]
No, he's not dead.
Just shut up, idiot.
[intruder 2] I'm not an idiot.
You're an idiot
for not having shoe game.
[intruder 1] At least
I don't blow my money
on internet gambling.
[soft tense music continues]
You know what?
Let's find the loot
and get outta here, all right?
[intruder 2] I told
you I looked everywhere
and I didn't find anything.
Help.
Please, help.
[intruder 2]
Did you hear that?
Holy fuck.
What the hell is this woman
doing tied up in here?
[knocking on door]
[intruder 1]
Who the fuck is that?
[gun clicks]
[intruder 2] Wait a second.
[intruder 1]
What do you want, kid?
- I'm sorry to interrupt your stay, sir.
- Charlie.
I wanted to see if you heard
from the host.
Other than check in, no,
I haven't heard anything.
Well, I was supposed to pick
up the trash a couple days ago.
Mind if I come in
and do it right now?
The place will start to smell
really bad if I don't.
[intruder 1]
I have a lot of... to do.
Why don't you come back
another time?
[door creaks]
Um, well, it's gonna be bad
if I don't pick it up, so.
[intruder 1] That way.
[soft tense music continues]
Hurry up.
[Charlie] I usually change
out the trash in there too.
No can do, kid.
Sorry, private stuff.
[intruder 2] Who was it?
[intruder 1] Some damn kid.
Waiting for him to scram.
[intruder 2] What the hell
are we gonna do with her?
[intruder 1]
Beat the... out of her
until she tell us
where the loot is.
Yes.
We're here now.
[tense music]
[intruder 2]
I'm not finding...
Hello?
[intruder 1] Give me a minute!
[intruder 2]
Boss says there are places
he wants us to check out.
[intruder 1] Okay, let's go.
Yes, we are here now.
[intruder 2] I didn't sign
up for this, you bastard.
[intruder 1]
Calm the fuck down.
[intruder 2] Oh, my God,
what did you do?
[intruder 1] Nothing.
You're just a little bitch,
you know that?
Back off.
I said back off!
[tense music continues]
Move.
Or what?
You're gonna fucking shoot me?
- [gun fires]
- [intruder 2 screams]
My foot!
My shoe!
What the hell
did you do that for?
[intruder 2 screams]
Untie me.
I'll show you where the loot is.
- [Dawn panting]
- [tense music continues]
[tense music continues]
[intruder 1] Hurry up.
Don't you dare play me.
This way.
I'll show you.
[heartbeat pounding]
[tense music intensifies]
[Dawn grunts]
Don't you dare!
Charlie, come here!
Come here, come here.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Thank you. Thank you.
[gentle music]
I knew something wasn't right.
I know, I know, Charlie.
I love you.
[Charlie] I love you too, Mom.
Are you two okay?
I got here as soon as I could.
Oh, my God.
Hey, I know it's still hard
for you to process right now,
but do you have any idea
who might have done this to you?
Um, a few.
Well, we'll get
to the bottom of this.
[tense music]
Hey, wait.
You know him?
Mm-mm.
All right.
Take him away.
Are you all right?
I... I can't believe
this happened.
This guy saved my life.
[soft tense music]
Does that mean
I'm the man of the house now?
[laughs] Yes, you are.
Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt.
Dawn, since your home
is now an active crime scene,
we will need to relocate you.
She can stay with us.
Are you sure?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Yeah, she'll be
in good hands with us.
[Dawn sighs]
I don't bite.
Unless directly
requested to, of course.
Mark my words.
If you say anything...
Bitch!
I'll get you back for this.
Back for this.
[tense music]
You make me wanna
do things to you.
Things I can't say out loud.
What I would do
for talent like this.
Dawn, don't you think this
is a little beneath you?
Beneath us, I mean.
[Kate] You're not
worried that, I don't know,
someone's just gonna
come up here and find you?
Come up here and find you?
[knocking on door]
Come in.
I don't mean to intrude.
I just, I forgot
to put out fresh towels.
[soft music]
There you go.
- Dawn?
- Mm-hmm?
I need to come
clean about something.
Okay.
Ever since I met you,
I wanted to prove to Matt
that I could be the partner
he never knew he needed,
the one he never had.
Never did I think that I would
deal with someone like you.
Someone that I would
genuinely be jealous of.
Jealous of your passion,
your freedom to do
whatever you want,
be who whoever you want.
I never had that
or allowed myself to have that,
which is why I decided to
[Dawn gasps] - Make you
this custom brush holder.
- Okay.
- For your brushes.
Oh, wow. That's cool.
Sorry.
I need to apologize
for being an absolute pain.
Can you ever forgive me?
You don't need
to apologize, honestly.
And that is a really
beautiful brush holder.
Thank you.
I'm really happy that Charlie
has you as his other mother.
Matt was lucky to find you.
Oh, God, you have no idea how much
that means for me to hear you say that.
Who knows?
Maybe we could be like sisters.
[Dawn chuckles]
Yeah.
Okay, I will just
leave this for you.
[sighs] Thank God you survived.
It would've really
sucked if you died.
Okay.
[soft tense music]
[sighs]
Come on, babe.
We have to go.
You don't wanna be late.
Okay.
[upbeat music]
We'll go
Just as we take off
Take off into the sky
- Lovers
- Hey, guys.
Nice to meet you.
Take off into the sky
Into the sky
[people chattering]
Ladies and gentlemen, if I
may have your attention, please.
We are here to celebrate
an incredible artist.
Dawn, we have been
doing this art thing
for a good five years now.
[Dawn] Yeah.
Five treacherous,
tumultuous years.
[audience laughs]
In that time,
I have watched you bloom
into an amazing artist
with a distinct
and unique voice.
I wanna personally
thank you for allowing me
to be a part of this journey,
allowing me to be
your gracious mentor.
And I think I speak for
everybody in the room when I say
we are looking forward to seeing
incredible things from
you in the future.
Now to my highly intelligent
art people in the room,
if you are halfway as smart
as you would like us
all to believe you are,
you'll purchase a piece tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you Dawn.
[audience cheering]
Thank you.
You've been guiding me this
past five years with your expertise.
And I know sometimes
you were wondering,
yeah, you wondered.
But I appreciate it a lot.
And thank you, my family
and friends for supporting me.
I know it's been
a roller coaster
and I really appreciate
all that you've given me
as I've tried to create my art.
This last piece is the last
piece of my collection.
It's called "Thirst."
I really struggled to figure
out what to call it until recently.
So, that is it.
If you have any questions, please
feel free to come up and talk to me.
Thank you for being here.
[audience cheering]
Ladies and gentlemen, there
is bar at the back of the room.
Enjoy yourselves.
Thank you.
- [audience cheering]
- Thank you.
[gentle music]
This is Gus,
one of those art community
people I was just telling you about.
- He's a liar.
- Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Exquisite work, Dawn.
- Thank you.
I'd like to make
an offer on "Thirst."
We'd like to mass produce
it on a larger scale.
What?
I hope you consider.
Yes.
- Is this real?
- The answer is yes.
No, yes.
Okay.
That's great.
I'll be in touch with you
this week to work out a deal.
Again, congratulations.
Babe!
Oh, my God.
This is absolutely amazing.
You killed it.
I just can't wait
to go celebrate with you.
Yes, I know.
Me too.
I do need to run back to the
house though, real quick.
I think I forgot
something there, so.
Oh.
Can I meet you at the bar?
- Yeah, yeah. Hurry.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Okay.
- I love you.
- Okay, I love you too.
- I am so proud of you.
Thank you.
Hi.
Congratulations.
This is fantastic.
Thank you.
And really, you do have
a job and this, this is it.
Thank you, Matt.
I do appreciate that.
Thank you both for being here.
My God, of course.
Wouldn't miss it.
It's amazing, really.
What the?
I know.
Didn't Matt do amazing?
[Dawn] Wow.
[Kate] I honestly, I
can't stop looking at it.
[Dawn] This is beautiful.
Thanks to Victoria, really.
[Dawn] What do you mean?
Oh, you know that little
side hustle she has going on.
- No?
- No.
Yeah.
[soft tense music]
[Kate] I know, right?
It's amazing.
[Dawn] What?
[Matt] I just wrote a
check and she delivered.
A hundred percent authentic.
[Kate] We are so proud of you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to say how
much I admire you and your work
and that you're a huge
inspiration to me.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
Hey, superstar.
You are incredible.
[soft tense music continues]
What's wrong?
[Victoria] Are you okay? I got
here as soon as I could.
You should really
demand a cut though.
I actually do need to
stop back at the house.
I think I forgot something.
- Love you.
- Okay.
I'll be right back.
Can you meet me at my house
right now? I think I found something.
Yeah.
Hey, Vicky.
Dawn.
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
Did you find what
you're looking for?
[Victoria] Oh, I'm just looking
for some earrings I lost.
Oh, was it your
diamond earrings?
[Victoria scoffs]
God, I really
thought I knew you.
What are you talking about?
It took me a minute,
but it all started
clicking into place
when I realized
what I stepped on.
You remember the first time
I took Yousef to my loft?
I stepped on a rock
or piece of glass.
It hurt like a bitch.
[soft tense music]
It was a rock, all right.
Well, what does that
have to do with me?
Remember we went to Cape Town
and you handed me your luggage
'cause you said
you were on some list?
- Hey, babe.
- Yeah?
Do you mind holding this for me?
I'm just not in the mood
to be hassled today.
Okay.
[soft tense music continues]
We used to travel
all the time together.
I thought it was because you loved
being with me and the friendship we shared.
I realize now it was merely
to use me as your mule.
[tires screech]
God, I had to pee so bad.
Oh. Thank you for
doing that, by the way.
I guess because I travel
so much, they're onto me.
Hmm.
- Champagne time.
- Yes.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
I feel so naive.
How did I not see the signs?
How did I not?
I have a friend
waiting for me, you know.
This is just rude.
[checker speaking
foreign language]
[Dawn] I should have known.
- Thank you for doing that.
- Sure.
I was on a list.
I'm telling you though,
there is a place
for this in the economy
and your home just
so happens to be a hotspot.
I have to hand it to you.
Pretty good hiding spot.
Because it led me to the truth.
[soft tense music continues]
Dawn, you've been through a lot.
And maybe your mind
is playing tricks on you.
Dmitri?
[Dmitri] We did good.
How good?
[Dmitri] Mm-hmm, you'll see.
[Victoria] Okay.
And just when I
thought I was gonna die,
those fuckers came back.
[intruder 1] We're here now.
[intruder 2] I didn't sign
up for this, you bastard.
[Dawn] So what, you were just
siphoning diamonds off Dmitri?
[Dmitri] Look, we could
be overreacting a little.
She has nobody else but me.
You just lie and lie.
Is this new? I haven't seen it.
Oh.
[camera shutter clicks]
I've had this for a few months.
Did I never show you?
- You have? It's so pretty.
- Thank you.
Dawn...
I would never do anything
to intentionally
hurt you or Charlie.
None of this was supposed to
happen. You have to believe me.
You almost killed me.
[soft tense music continues]
Charlie almost
didn't have a mom.
I almost died 'cause of this.
I had a plan
and it was gonna be good.
Believe me.
This was not supposed to happen.
And I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
Get the fuck outta my house!
-Dawn-
-Or better yet,
you'll be escorted.
Dawn, I...
What the hell?
Get your hands off me.
Dawn!
Be well, Victoria.
[Victoria] Dawn!
[police radio chattering]
[soft tense music continues]
Great work.
Is it enough?
More than enough.
This coupled with the
evidence and testimony,
she'll have no choice but to take
a plea deal and cooperate with us.
And what will happen to her?
Well, she does what she's
asked in catching him.
She'll be okay.
Okay.
[dramatic string music]
[tense music]
[diamonds clattering]
[dramatic string music]
This all of them?
I'll be.
[upbeat harpsichord music]
We did background checks
on your people.
Your girl is with
a really bad guy.
And as painful
as this is gonna be tonight,
it's the right thing to do.
[dramatic string music]
Okay.
Police!
[Dmitri speaking
foreign language]
Oh, God.
[Yousef]
Same nightmare with the ants?
Yeah.
- Come here, babe.
- Ah.
[Dawn moans]
Get up. Get up!
It's time to make pancakes!
Oh!
- Come on!
- Hey, Charlie.
[Yousef laughs]
Oh, my God, is it
pancake time already?
Yeah.
Come on.
Okay. All right.
All right, let's do it, okay.
No, no, no.
I got this.
Really?
Yeah, you sit there
and be beautiful.
[Dawn laughs]
What flavor do you want?
[Charlie]
Chocolate chip, please.
[Dawn sighs]
[upbeat pop music]
Invisible
Living without choice
Is a life without a voice
When you can't even say
My name
I can't play this game
So I ask again
Will you say
My name
Has the memory gone
Are you feeling numb
Have we all become
Invisible
