Pool Boy Nightmare (2020) Movie Script
1
You need to stop calling me!
I mean it!
No!
No, you need to leave me alone.
I don't know how to make
it any more clear for you.
It's over.
Hello?
Hello?
Is someone there?
Mom! Your phone!
Yeah, I hear it.
I just can't find it.
Ice cream break.
Becca, did you take
the last of the...
The last of the what?
Never mind.
We're out of ice cream.
You don't say.
Did you check out
the living room?
I saw it.
What do you think?
Looks like a living room.
Well, how's your bedroom
coming along?
It's bigger than your
old one, isn't it?
It's just a room, Mom.
I thought you liked this place.
You said you approved.
I like the pool.
Could use a cleaning.
Yeah, I haven't gotten
around to that yet.
Hey, if you wanna pitch in
and start skimming?
I'd be up for a swim.
Why don't you just hire someone?
I mean, you're rich now
from the divorce, right?
That's not fair, Becca,
and that's not even true.
Who told you that?
- Forget it.
- Your father?
Forget it.
I want to hear what
you have to say.
You're part of this family.
I don't want to take sides.
Well, you know what he did.
I know what you've done.
Worked.
That's all I ever do.
Well, according to dad,
that was the problem.
And that gives him
the right to sleep around
with women half his age?
No, I didn't...
I didn't say that.
Look, I hate being put
in the middle, mom.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just... I'm trying
to make this work.
You know?
New house, new neighborhood,
new memories.
I get it, but I kind
of liked what we had.
Well, you could have
stayed with your father.
You're 18.
I'm not gonna live with dad
in the midst of
his mid-life crisis.
God, who is he dating now?
No, don't tell me.
I don't want to know.
Rule No. 15, never talk to me
about who your father is seeing,
not until I've had
at least a gallon
of Mint Chocolate Delight
in my system first.
I can go get some, but
I'd have to borrow your car.
I would take mine, but I...
You don't have one.
I'm well aware.
But you know what?
Graduation is right
around the corner.
Maybe your fairy car mother will
just appear right on time.
Just make sure there's some in
the container when you get back.
No promises. Bye!
Bye.
Thank you.
Scoop you later.
One quart of Chocolate Mint
and make it snappy, doll.
Yeah, like you need it.
I think body shaming
is considered a crime now,
especially in
an ice cream parlor.
Oh, this is my best friend.
I'm gonna take five.
Cover me.
Thanks, Greggy!
So how's the new digs?
Weird.
Look, just think about
it this way.
By fall, you'll be off
at college
with much better things
to worry about... like boys.
- Mm-hm.
- That's what keeps me busy.
Yeah? Who are you
suddenly dating?
Well, there's Mike, Hank...
oh, and Charlie.
- No, no! You're not!
- I am!
- In my mind.
- Mm-hm.
Well, don't start
suddenly dating my dad.
Ooh, Becca.
Older guys are hot,
but ancient guys are gross.
Okay.
No offense to your mom.
Yeah. How are we friends again?
Remind me?
Easy. We both suffer
from low self-esteem.
Yeah.
Can't catch a break.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- What are you doing here?
- I'm sorry.
- I didn't know anybody.
- You know you're trespassing!
I do now.
I'll get out of your way.
Who are you?
I'm Adam Lance.
Nice to meet you.
I clean a bunch of
the pools in this area.
Oh.
I'm Gale Foley.
My daughter and I just
moved in last week.
Well, that explains it.
Explains what?
Explains why I didn't
know you were here.
The realtor hired
me to clean the pool,
forgot to tell me
that he sold the place.
Yeah, I was the old owner's
pool cleaner, Rhonda Phillips.
Oh, that's the woman who died.
It was a real tragedy.
I guess she slipped
getting into the tub,
hit her head and drowned.
Yeah. I didn't hear any
of the details.
I heard there was an
accident five months ago.
Well, you're here now.
I guess I'm out of a job.
I'm really sorry
that I scared you.
I really didn't mean to.
I'll get out of your hair, Gale.
Wait. You know, I was just
talking with Becca, my daughter,
about how we do need
somebody to clean the pool.
What are your rates?
Well, that's awesome.
First time's on the house.
And I'll come back
every week or so.
And if you like my performance,
$75, flat fee.
Well, you can't beat
that with a stick... or pole.
Oh. That's funny.
Okay, well,
let's see what you can do.
Awesome. Great.
And Gale, I don't think
you're gonna be disappointed.
I clean up nice.
Hey, I'm Adam.
Um, Rebecca.
Becca.
My friends call me Becca.
Your mom hired me
to clean the pool, Becca.
Way to go, mom.
Oh, you know,
I shouldn't be much longer.
Sorry.
Oh, don't rush on my account.
That's fine.
Your dripping.
What?
The ice cream...
it's dripping?
Oh!
It's kind of warm out here.
I should probably
take it inside. Right.
Nice to meet you, Becca.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Jackie?
It's Becca.
You've heard of
Prince Charming, right?
I just met Prince Gorgeous.
I think I'm in love.
Died in the tub, huh?
Shower.
- Hey!
- Hey.
I'm just headed out with
Jackie to get some lunch.
Well, I was hoping
that we could spend
some quality time together,
you know,
when I'm done with my campaign.
Sure.
Be back by midnight.
Come on.
It won't take me that long.
I gotta go.
Oh, fine.
Have a great Sunday.
Just leave your poor old
mother here all alone.
I'm not gonna feel
guilty for you, Mom.
You could have fun, too,
if you wanted.
- Bye!
- Bye.
Hey, Gale, how you doing
this wonderful Sunday?
I'm all right.
Just, you know
finishing up some work.
Work? Today?
You know what they say
about all work and no play.
Makes Jack Torrance go crazy.
Huh?
Never mind.
Oh, I just left some
of my buckets out back.
I thought I'd come grab them.
Be my guest.
Thank you.
Where are you from, Adam?
I'm from all over,
but I like here a lot.
Nice people, lot of pools.
Ever since my mom passed away,
I've kind of been
fending for myself.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
- It's okay.
- Where's your father?
Well, he left us
when we were young,
but you know, we're better
off without him.
I can relate to that.
You are one popular lady.
Yeah.
Hey, Gale.
What are you doing here, Tony?
Just wanted to say hi.
See how you guys
are settling in.
And was wondering why you
hadn't signed the papers yet.
We're good, the move was fine.
And my lawyer charges
by the hour,
so he's taking his sweet time
finalizing the approval.
But, you know, if you're
in a rush,
you can go ahead
and light a fire under...
No rush. Just asking.
I'm gonna take
a drive down the coast.
Alone?
Not exactly.
Hi. I'm Cindi.
New car, huh?
Yeah, I thought
it was time for an upgrade.
A new model.
Maybe I'll let you take it
for a spin sometime.
I didn't know you had company.
Good.
You found the bucket.
This is Adam, my pool boy.
Pool man.
I'm 25.
Sorry. Man.
Just an expression.
This is Tony, my ex-husband,
a man who acts like a boy.
Hi. I'm Cindi.
Well, we better get going if we
wanna beat that coastal traffic.
Take care of yourself, Gale.
You too, Tony.
Looks like you have your
hands full yet again.
I don't believe him.
You know, he just showed up
here to flaunt his new car
and his new bimbo.
Oh, look at me.
Look how great my life is.
Upgrade, my ass.
You know what? He's trying
to turn Becca against me?
Trying to make me out
to be the villain?
But I'm not the one
who cheated on him!
Gale, I know it's not
my place to say,
but I think you're way
better off without him.
Just tell me. Why is it okay
for a man to date
a woman half his age, but
somehow it's looked down upon
for a woman to be
with a younger man?
I've never understood that.
Honestly, I haven't.
I blame the double standards
from movies and television.
You're right. You know,
I wouldn't even know
because my television,
of course, isn't working.
What's wrong with it?
I don't know.
I can't figure it out.
Well, maybe I can.
I'm pretty good with technology.
Where is it?
Upstairs.
But look, I don't want
to take up your whole day.
No, no, no.
It's fine, it's fine.
I don't have another client
for a couple of hours.
Your room, right?
- Yeah, my room.
- Okay.
You did it!
So what was the problem?
The inputs were reversed.
The connection was
all messed up.
Story of my life.
Yeah.
Listen, Gale, I think you ought
to forget about that loser.
You need someone who
makes you truly happy.
Yeah, you're preaching
to the choir.
You're so stressed.
You need to relax.
Maybe I can help with that, too.
Why, Mr. Robinson,
you're trying to seduce me.
Mr. Rob... what?
You're really sweet,
but this isn't gonna happen.
Why not?
Do you want reason number one
or number 57?
May I?
One can always find a reason
to not do something, Gale.
A fear, a justification,
a use of better judgment,
but people tend to regret the
things in life they don't do.
What's the fun in that?
Not living?
Gale, aren't you entitled
to a little fun, too?
It has been a long time, but...
Don't be afraid to live.
I'm not afraid.
Good.
So you have to
tell me everything.
Start from his chest
and work your way down.
Well, he was wearing shorts,
but he wasn't wearing a shirt.
Mm.
Muscles?
And then some.
Go on, and on and on and on.
I'm afraid if I do,
you'll explode!
I don't care.
I need visuals.
What's his name?
Adam.
Please tell me you
got a last name.
I did. Adam Lance.
Ooh, short for Lancelot?
Did he have a lot of lance?
Quite possibly.
This is impossible.
What?
I can't find him anywhere.
He has like
no social media presence.
No Adam Lance?
Well, there must be a thousand.
I know.
There's nothing.
Is this him?
Not even close.
Well, if he's as hot
as you say he is,
you better make
your move fast, girl.
My moves?
Well, it's time Miss Becca
learned some moves.
Class is now in session!
Phew.
Oh, boy. What did I do?
You did everything right.
You're an amazing woman, Gale.
And you are
an impressive pool boy.
And this was
a nice one-time thing.
What do you mean?
You're really nice
and really handsome.
And, also, you're
really, really young.
But didn't you just give
this whole speech about how
it's okay for older women
to date younger men?
What happened to that?
I don't want to stoop
to Tony's level.
I'm better than him.
In every way.
Which is why
I can't do this again.
Come on.
Just, please, try
to understand this.
I have a daughter and you're
young enough to be my son.
- But I'm not your son.
- Thank goodness for that.
You want me to go.
I think that would be best...
Look, this was great.
It really was,
and you fixed my TV.
You are quite the handyman.
Handyman?
I thought I was a pool boy.
Come on.
I'll show myself out.
She used me.
She used me.
I can play those games, too.
Yeah, I can play those game.
Playing games, Gale.
I know plenty of fun games.
Thanks for the ride!
Bye! Call me tonight.
I will. Bye!
Hey, I told you
to call me tonight.
The sun is still shining.
Look out the window.
I am.
He's here!
Who is there?
Mr. Tall, Dark and Chiseled?
Yep.
He's outside.
Doing what?
Skinny-dipping.
I'm kidding.
He's cleaning the pool.
What else?
That was... That was cruel.
All right.
This is perfect for you then.
Just do what we talked about.
Be cool about it
and make sure you look hot.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
I didn't know you were here.
Yeah, just getting
your pool ready for action.
And is it?
It's open for business anytime
you feel like getting wet.
Your mother around?
Um, no, she's still at work.
Probably not gonna
be around for hours.
Hours? Hmm.
Cool.
Why? Is she supposed
to pay you today?
No, that's cool.
She'll pay eventually.
You need some help with that?
Your back?
Uh, sure. That'd be great.
Thank you.
You in high school, Becca?
I'm a senior.
I just turned 18.
Wow.
Happy belated birthday.
Thanks.
How about you?
College boy?
Nah.
College is too theoretical.
I'm into more hands-on stuff.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
All right, you're done.
You're not!
I am so sorry!
It was Jackie's idea!
Who's Jackie?
She's my best friend.
Well, I guess it's a good idea
for a pool man to check out the
pool before anybody else, huh?
Yeah.
How is it?
See for yourself if you dare.
Ow!
Well, hello, Mrs. Foley.
Mom, you're home early.
Yeah. I just had work to do
and thought I could
accomplish more here.
What are you doing here, Adam?
Oh, I'm just showing
some special attention
to my two favorite clients.
Why?
Can I talk to you
for a moment inside?
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
What's up?
I thought that I made
it clear yesterday
that what happened between us...
Was a one-time thing?
Yeah, I got it.
You know, it was really special.
But I think this should just
stay between the two of us.
I'm not gonna
tell your daughter,
if that's what you think.
Good.
So what are you doing here?
I told you.
I take care of your pool.
Yeah. You're supposed to
come once every week
or once every other week.
Some pools need
a little extra attention.
Not my pool.
Well, it looks like
it's Becca's pool, too.
I think she's gonna be using
it a little more than you.
Adam, don't make me say
this more than once.
You stay away from my daughter.
Why? I mean, things are
obviously over between us.
And I'm free to see
whoever I want.
Okay. She's only 18 years old.
That's the legal age.
Not in this household!
It just doesn't seem fair.
I'm too young for you,
I'm too old for her.
I mean, where do I lie here?
You're starting to sound like
my mom, you know that?
That's actually
kind of starting to turn me on.
I think you should go.
You're the boss.
I gotta go.
- Okay.
- I got some stuff to do.
Okay.
What are you doing Saturday?
I could make myself available.
What'd you have in mind?
I don't know. Lunch? Dinner?
Up to you.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, what?
Lunch.
Lunch it is.
Sounds like a date.
Okay.
Wow. You're looking nice today.
Where you off to?
Um, just getting
together with Jackie.
We're gonna do some studying.
Studying?
You? On a Saturday?
Yeah.
Final exams next week.
In what?
Fashion design?
We're gonna study
in the library.
People are gonna see
us there, then we'll look good.
Look good for who?
You know, there's no
harm in taking pride
in one's appearance, mother.
Maybe you should
try it sometime.
And maybe you should start
telling the truth for a change.
I am telling you the truth.
Maybe if you would have
cared more how you look,
Dad wouldn't have left.
Do you really think that?
It's Jackie.
She's outside.
We'll finish this
conversation later.
You're supposed to pick me up
at the end of the block
so my mom doesn't see us!
I'm not afraid to
be seen with you.
And beauty should
never be hidden.
Anyways, your chariot
awaits, my lady.
Thank you.
Let's go get some dessert.
Yes. I know the perfect
place to get it.
It was dripping, I didn't
want it to spill.
Good thinking.
How's the ice cream?
Excuse me? What?
Adam, this is Jackie.
Jackie? Adam.
Pool boy.
You're the one who
recommended her
to push me in the pool, yeah?
Right. Every boy looks
good in a wet t-shirt.
Uh, Jackie, I could use some
extra napkins over here.
You know where they are.
- Be right back.
- I can go grab them.
No, that's all right.
I'm gonna wash my hands.
Be nice.
Me?
- No. Her.
- Mm-hmm.
So, Adam...
How do you spell your last name?
L-a-n-c-e.
Why are you asking?
Oh, I was just online
and was trying
to send you a friend request.
But I couldn't
find you anywhere.
I tried Adam Lance,
Adam Lancelot, King Adam.
I'm not on social media.
What are you? Like Amish?
No. I'm just taking a break
from the worldwide web.
But what if you need to remember
like special occasions
and people's birthdays...
I never forget.
So what did we learn?
Apparently, your boyfriend
has the mind of an elephant.
Huh?
She means when people talk,
I listen.
A guy who listens.
Can't beat that, right?
Right.
Well, it looks like Greg
needs me back over there.
So I'm going to go back to work.
It was nice meeting you, Adam.
Same.
Don't do everything I would do.
Call you later.
Hey.
How was the library?
Uh, fine.
Quiet.
Stop lying to me, Rebecca.
I saw you!
I saw you getting in his truck!
Okay.
So I went on a date.
Big deal.
I'm 18 now, Mom.
I'm old enough.
He's older than you.
Your stupid rules!
What's seven years, hmm?
At your age, a lot.
Dad's seven years
older than you.
And you see how that worked out.
I'm going to bed.
Becca!
Becca!
I'm trying to hold
this family together!
All while juggling
this big account at work.
You know, if I can pull it off,
it can mean a promotion,
maybe even a
partnership with the firm,
which could be good
for everybody!
But I can't focus on work
when I'm constantly
worried about you every day...
Then don't!
Ever since you and dad split up,
you've been treating me
like this porcelain doll
that's just about to break
at any second!
It's suffocating me!
I can take care of myself.
Oh, how I wish that were true.
Okay, I'm gonna make
this simple for you.
I don't want you seeing him!
Why? Jealous?
Don't be absurd.
What did he tell you?
What did you two do?
Everything.
I just had the best
night of my life.
I'm not gonna let you
ruin it for me.
You're grounded!
Do you hear me?
Whoa, wait, she grounded you?
Like used those words?
Mm-hmm.
What does she think you are? 12?
Well, that's how
she's been treating me.
Is she home now?
Nope.
Had a meeting
at her boss's house.
Left an hour ago.
On a Sunday?
Guess so.
She's been messing up everything
recently, like here and at work.
Somehow it's all Adam's fault.
But she hired him.
I know. I don't know
what her problem is.
I mean, Adam's a cool guy,
right?
Right?
To be honest,
he's a little weird, okay?
Weird?
Don't you mean awesome?
Amazing? Perfect?
Becca, you're not a guy
like him and not online.
That's like a huge red flag.
My grandmother is even online.
I'm not talking
conspiracy theory,
but you don't go off
the grid without a reason.
You're either
running from something
or hiding from someone.
Something is off about Adam.
I don't know.
Exactly.
You don't know.
It's like you've been
talking to my mother.
Becca, look...
Just be careful, okay?
Yes, mother.
Well, sorry you have
to go so soon.
Thanks for coming by.
That was Adam?
Yeah. He's coming over now.
Becca, don't rush into anything.
Think.
We don't know jack
about this guy.
I know his name's not Jack.
Do you?
I mean, do you really?
All we really know about him
is that he can clean a pool
and look good with
or without a shirt.
Get out of here, Jackie.
Two's company,
three's for losers.
Way to treat your best friend.
Way to be supportive!
Whatever.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Is your mom around?
No, she's out, probably
for a couple hours.
- Want to go for a swim?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God, do you...
- Oh!
Let's go!
Hey, Scott.
Yeah, I just got home.
Tell Victoria I'm picking up
the right thumb drive
and I'll be there in a sec.
Just stall her, okay?
Just say whatever
you have to say,
I know you can
come up with something.
Yes, I'm in a hurry.
It's me!
I grabbed the wrong drive!
Becca?
You here?
Becca?
What the hell's
going on out here?
Nothing.
I was just getting some sun
and Adam came by
to clean the pool.
Yeah, just doing my job.
Becca, go up to your room.
Why? I wasn't...
Room, now!
I hate you.
So, what's up?
What do you think you're
doing with my daughter?
Showing her a good time.
Time we could be having,
should be having.
Are you trying to date her to
make me jealous or something?
Well, is it working?
It's over, Adam!
- What's over?
- All of it!
You stay away from Becca.
You stay away from me and
you stay away from this house.
You're fired!
You got that?
Loud and clear.
Good.
I want you out of our lives
and never come back.
You take care of yourself, Gale.
What's that supposed to mean?
Just don't let your emotions
get the better of you.
That's when accidents
can happen.
Victoria, hi.
I was just heading out the door.
Don't bother. We won't be
needing you here today.
But what about the presentation?
I was up all night preparing.
Just give everything to Scott.
This meeting doesn't
concern you.
Victoria, I meant to
come back yesterday.
But I had a family
emergency with my daughter.
I sent you all the items
and I got confirmation
that they were received.
They were, Gale, and
I understand priorities.
I tried calling
you several times,
but it went to voicemail.
I like to see the people
I'm talking with, Gale.
Just relax today and
we'll discuss your position
with this firm tomorrow.
You just take care of you.
You say you found a rat
in the filter pump?
Yeah, I did.
Was the cover off?
No.
Odd.
I don't know how a rat
could have crawled up in there
unless it was a contortionist.
Yeah.
I was thinking the same thing.
When's the last time
you had this pool cleaned?
Just recently, actually.
Well, whoever did it
didn't do a great job.
You know, I used
to clean this one
when it was owned
by Mrs. Phillips,
obviously, before
she had that accident.
I heard she died in the bathtub.
Yeah. It does seem odd, too.
She never hit me as
the clumsy type.
Of course, I was
long gone by then.
She had hired another guy,
a kid, to clean this pool.
Although some have speculated
that he did more for her
than just clean,
if you get my drift.
Really?
If the rumors are true,
I guess she liked
the company of younger men.
Hey, now!
What, what is it?
Anyone you know lose a tooth?
Detective?
Detective Davidson?
Yes. You're in my spot.
Sorry.
I didn't want to miss you.
Inside the station,
they said you were the one
in charge of the
Rhonda Phillips case?
I'm Gale Foley.
I was just waiting
for you to return.
It was a little hectic
inside of there.
Oh, right, yeah, the Phillips
woman hit her head, drowned.
Coroner's report deemed it was
an accidental death, that one?
Yeah. Well, I moved into
her house just recently.
And I was wondering when
you were examining her body,
was she missing a tooth?
I'd have to check the report.
Why?
Because I found this stuck
in the drain
at the bottom of
the swimming pool today.
In the pool?
Yeah. So if they
found her in a tub,
how could her tooth
end up in the pool?
Okay, Mrs. Foley,
I'll look into it.
Thank you.
Oh, will you also check
an Adam Lance for me?
He was the pool cleaner at the
time of Miss Phillips's death.
Mr. Lance, yeah.
We interviewed him,
but we didn't find anything
connecting him to her death.
Look harder, please.
The guy scares me
and he's been hanging around
my house and my daughter.
Okay.
Well, if he doesn't
leave you alone,
you can take out a
restraining order, okay?
I just might do that.
Thank you.
Come on, Becca.
Rebecca hasn't come
home from school yet.
And I've been trying
to call her,
but she's not picking up
her cell phone.
Do you know where she might be?
I don't know.
We're not really speaking
to each other right now.
Really? Why?
What happened?
We had a difference
of opinion on something.
Did it have to do with Adam?
That guy she's seeing?
You should really talk
to Becca about that.
I don't really feel
comfortable talking...
I think he might be
dangerous, obsessive.
You know, he gave me
the creeps, too.
Why'd you hire him?
He just showed up at the house.
He used to work for the woman
who lived there before us.
But didn't she die?
Yeah. That's part of why
I'm worried about Becca.
Please, just try to talk to her.
Just convince her
to stay away from Adam.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
I'll do my best.
Thank you, I'd really
appreciate it.
Come on, Becca, pick up.
Come on, come on.
Thank God!
Becca, I just got done
talking to your mom.
And she's really worried
and so am I.
I know you don't want
to hear this right now,
but we think Adam
is really unhinged.
You know that woman
that died in your house?
We think he had something
to do with it.
Don't trust him, Becca,
please, whatever you do, okay?
Becca? Becca?
Okay.
- Hi.
- Hey.
You know, I love this place,
but the only annoying thing
is that the restroom's all
the way back at the entrance.
Oh, that's so annoying.
This is one
of my favorite spots.
Yeah, mine too and
being here with you.
Oh, my God, if your mother
could see us now.
She'd kill me!
Gosh, I can't imagine
what she'd do to you.
I can.
Mothers can be very controlling.
Tell me about it.
But it all comes from love.
Love is everything,
even if it's meant to
misdirect or to manipulate.
Did someone do that to you?
I don't know...
even if she did.
Doesn't make her a bad person.
They're just trying to protect
the ones they love.
No matter what the consequences,
it's instinctual.
Sounds like she hurt you,
whoever she was.
I can handle it.
I can hurt them right back
if they get in my way.
Because love
conquers all, right?
I could stay with you
like this forever.
Forever's a long time.
Becca?
Are you home?
Becca?
Becca, we need to talk.
It's really important.
Come on.
I know you're not sleeping.
This is childish.
Okay, fine.
We're gonna talk later.
"Come around the back.
Don't wake mom."
Hmm.
- Oh, my God!
- Jackie!
Jackie?
I think my leg is broken!
You fell in?
Stay there.
I'm gonna go call 911!
- He pushed me!
- Who?
I didn't see who it was!
She didn't say she fell.
She said she was pushed
and I suspect Adam Lance.
No, I don't have any proof,
but just see what you
can do, please.
I have to go.
- Good morning, Gale.
- Morning.
Mind if I walk with you
to your office?
- Of course not.
- Good.
I just wanted to see if
you enjoyed your day off.
It was a bit hectic,
to be honest.
But, like I said,
I'm not gonna let anything
interfere with work again.
That's good to hear.
After all, work is work
and personal matters
should stay personal
and at home.
Yeah, I completely agree.
Great.
So maybe you can explain this?
Oh, my God!
And someone named Adam
has called
about a dozen times
this morning.
Scott left the
messages on your desk,
if you can still locate your
desk under all this clutter.
We have a strict rule here.
Keep your personal life personal
and out of this office.
I'm so sorry.
This guy, he's insane.
He's unstable.
I've already contacted
the police.
I'll call them again.
I'll file a restraining order.
I don't need this kind
of trouble, Mrs. Foley.
I have enough of my own.
Fix this situation immediately
or don't bother
coming back to work.
Yes, Victoria.
Back to work!
Oh, man, I can't believe
you slept with him.
Yeah, well, I can't believe
some of the women
you slept with either, honey.
So what do you want me to do?
Talk to him.
I tried. I even contacted
the police several times.
But Detective Davidson says
that declarations of love
don't constitute
a criminal offense.
And since he hasn't come
within 500 feet of me,
a restraining order
is out of the question.
I thought maybe he would listen
to you, you know, man-to-man?
But he's just a kid.
Yeah, who's dating our daughter.
He's what?
I think he's seeing her
to get back at me,
trying to make me jealous
or something.
He texts me all day long.
He won't leave me alone.
He's obsessed.
He even says things like
I remind him of his mother,
his dead mother.
Does Becca know about this?
No. She won't talk to me.
And if I tell her this, she's
never gonna talk to me again.
She's convinced that
she's in love with this guy.
I seriously think
he's dangerously disturbed.
He even had something to do
with Becca's friend, Jackie,
getting hurt last
night, possibly others.
Has he done anything to Becca?
No.
No, she's safe at school.
I checked before I came here.
But I can't keep
her away from him.
And if I keep rejecting him,
he might take it out on her.
Where do I find him?
Well, I called the flower shop
where he bought most
of the gifts this morning.
I convinced them that
I was gonna return the favor,
so they gave me his address.
I'll pay this Adam Lance a visit
and make sure he never gets
near you or Becca again.
Hello, Adam. Remember me?
Mr. Foley?
Gale's ex.
Can I help you with something?
Can we talk inside for a minute?
Actually, I'd prefer
we talk out here.
Are you hiding
something in there?
Just my clutter.
Just my clutter, huh?
So...
Is it true
you're dating my daughter
and sleeping with my wife?
Oh, how do I answer?
What can I say?
You have great taste in women.
Come on, man.
You stay away from
Becca and Gale, got it?
No!
No?
You got a death wish, boy?
Gale loves me!
You had your chance
and you blew it.
Uh-uh.
Gale hates you, Adam.
And she sent me over here
to make that absolutely clear.
I don't believe you. I don't.
You're just so mad because
I have what you once had.
You can't stand the fact
that she loves me.
You're just like
the rest of them, man.
You're a bad father
and an even worse husband.
And without you in the picture,
Gale, Becca and I,
we're gonna be happy.
We're gonna be really happy.
You need some serious help, son.
I am not your son!
And you can hit me
as much as you want
'cause you can't break me.
So hit me, man! Hit me!
Dude, hit me, dude! Hit me!
Hit me, please!
Hit me, dude!
Hit me!
You're all kinds of crazy
and I'm gonna see to it
that you're locked up
so you never get near my wife
and daughter again.
That's a promise.
We'll see, Tony.
We will see.
How could you?
Honey, what's wrong?
You know what's wrong!
You practically beat my
boyfriend to death.
What? No, I didn't.
Come inside.
No!
I saw what you did to him!
He sent me pictures!
Yeah, he was too ashamed
to see me in person.
I only hit him once.
Look! Look at him!
He's covered in bruises!
You nearly broke his arm!
And he told me
you trashed his place, too.
I never went in his place.
I didn't do any of this.
So he did it to himself, hmm?
Becca, this guy,
he is a sick man.
He is not right in the head.
I think his parents
did something to him
when he was young,
abused him or...
Oh, he was abused, all right.
And here's the proof.
Becca, this...
He's gonna get a
restraining order against you
and I don't even blame him!
Becca, this is all a lie.
Stay out of my life!
I never want to see you again!
Becca, wait...
Stay out of my life!
- Becca!
- Stay out!
Becca, wait!
Becca, come on!
What was that all about, Tony?
Let's go back inside.
I just told you to
talk to him, Tony.
Threaten him, maybe,
not beat him to a pulp!
He sent all the pictures
to my cell phone
along with more love notes.
I swear I only hit him once,
Gale, not even that hard.
Well, that's gonna be
impossible to prove.
Do you know where Becca is?
Did she say where she was going?
Was she heading home?
I don't know.
I hope so.
Call me as soon as she gets in?
Let me know she's safe?
Okay, I will.
Bye, Tony.
Come on, Tony.
You've got to
calm down and relax.
I need to find my daughter.
No, you don't.
You need to give her some space.
When I was 18 and my parents
got on my case,
if I didn't get some alone time,
it just made everything worse.
And y'all need to cool down.
Let's get in the jacuzzi.
I don't think that's gonna help.
It always works for me.
All right.
I need my cell phone
in case Gale calls back.
I'll go get it.
I'll be right back.
Hey, what's up with this water?
What is it?
I don't know.
It's just...
It's like it's too hot!
Like burning me!
Tony, are you okay?
It's burning my skin!
Tony! Honey!
It's burning!
Help!
Thank you, Miss Sullivan.
I'll let you know if we have
any more further questions.
Okay. Thank you.
How is he?
He's sleeping now.
They gave him a sedative.
And the doctor said he'll
be okay in a couple of days.
But his skin and eyes
were badly burned
by some calcium chemical
in the jacuzzi.
In the jacuzzi?
Some bleach or something.
I don't know how
it got in there.
Oh, look at you, cutting class.
I must be a bad influence.
Whose place is this?
Yours?
I wish.
Are we allowed in here?
Sure. It's one of
my client's pools.
I'm house sitting
while they're away.
Are we at the Playboy Mansion?
Why? Do you feel like
getting naked?
No. I feel like we're
getting into trouble.
What did I tell you?
We got the whole place
to ourselves for the weekend.
Let's go for a dip.
I didn't bring my suit.
Neither did I.
Umm...
I mean, how many times do you
get to do this, right?
It's a beautiful pool.
I'm not sure if
I'm ready for this.
Becca?
I don't know.
Do you just need
some convincing?
No. Not here.
Come on, come on.
- Not in broad daylight.
- Come on, come on, come on.
I want to see what
your mother created.
What?
Why did you say it like that?
Why... your mother gave
birth to something...
why are you ashamed
of your body?
I'm not ashamed of my body!
I just think it's weird
that you're talking about my mom
while we're making out,
especially since she hates you.
Don't say that.
Don't say...
Gale's just confused.
Excuse me?
She'll come around once
she realizes what she's missing.
What are you saying, Adam?
Becca, you won't understand.
No! Do you have a thing
for my mom?
We have something special,
Becca...
Gale and I.
I told you once.
You won't under...
I don't want to understand!
Becca. Becca!
Becca!
Becca, what are you doing?
This is why I can't
date younger girls!
Don't you get it?
Don't you get it?
You don't understand intimacy!
And you can't handle
a real relationship.
God, but your mother could.
Your mother could.
In fact, she loved it.
She did, she loved it.
No!
It's not funny!
- My God.
- You're sick.
My dad was right!
You're dad's a loser and
he got what he deserved.
Woo!
It's Jackie.
Jackie too, man.
She should stop wandering
around in the dark
and messing around with
other peoples' affairs.
It can get dangerous.
It can.
What is it?
Becca, what is it?
Jackie!
What are you doing back
at work so soon?
I told her not to come back
until she was ready.
I don't like sitting
around the house.
Besides, Greggy here has been
giving me free ice cream
and I'm getting great pity
tips from all the regulars.
It's pretty sweet.
I'm sorry... for everything.
You were right.
Adam's weird.
He's delusional!
I was just looking out
for my best friend.
I know that now.
When did you send
this text message?
Right after I called you and
told you I spoke to your mom
about that woman
that died in your house.
Did you leave a voicemail?
Becca, you picked up and
then sent that text message.
I never picked up that call
and I never sent
this text message.
Becca, please tell me
it's over between you two.
It is.
Does he know that?
I sure hope so. Why?
Because he's staring
at us right now.
I'm calling the police.
Cup of Chocolate Mint?
We'd be better off with a gun!
Hello? I'd like to speak
to Detective Davidson!
Yes, I'll hold!
Who was that?
My ex-boyfriend.
Where do you think he's headed?
I've got to get home
to check on my mom!
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Be careful!
I will.
Well, it's all ready
for the new water.
You sure you don't
want me to start the hoses?
It'd take maybe
a day or two to fill.
Oh, let's do it tomorrow,
it's getting late.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Great.
Oh, could you lock up
the back gate when you leave?
I think I can manage that.
Thanks.
You're the best.
Why hire the rest when you can
get the best, I always say.
Hello?
Mrs. Foley?
Detective Davidson here.
Looks like we got a lucky break.
We found a print at
Mr. Foley's place.
It was on the side
of the jacuzzi.
It belongs to Adam Lance.
Okay, wait a second.
So you had his
fingerprints on file?
That means that he must
have a record.
I did some digging.
His old file was sealed,
but I pulled a few strings.
Why was it sealed?
Because he was 14,
still a minor,
when his father
was found murdered.
Are you saying that
he killed his own father?
They couldn't prove it.
His mother provided
an alibi for Adam.
But there was speculation that
they planned the crime together.
Adam and his mother were close.
I mean, disturbingly so.
Oh, my God.
- Mom!
- Rebecca.
Oh, Mom!
Are you okay?
Yes! I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry for everything!
It's okay!
For how I treated
you and dad and everything.
Sweetheart, all that matters
is you're safe, okay?
All right, come here.
I love you.
You're far from
the best, Carlton.
This is my house.
We only need one
pool boy, right?
Come on, come on.
Mrs. Foley?
Hello? Mrs. Foley?
Mrs. Foley!
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm right here and
my daughter just got home.
Good. Ask her if she knows
where Adam Lance currently is.
Where's Adam?
I never want to see him again!
You were right.
I think he's
dangerous, disturbed.
When did you last see him?
He was in a car and
he was staring at Jackie and me
like he wanted to kill us.
I was afraid he was
heading here to see you.
Did you hear that, Davidson?
Yes.
Maybe it'd be best if you
guys go away for a little while.
Check into a hotel tonight
until we've located him.
Yeah. I think that's
a great idea.
Please call me as soon
as you have him in custody.
You got it.
Mom, Adam...
he was like
a different person today.
He didn't want me anymore.
He wanted you.
It was like he was
in love with you.
He's not well.
Honey, he needs help,
help that neither one
of us can give him.
But he made it sound like you
guys were sleeping together.
That's not true, Mom, is it?
Is it?
We'll discuss this later.
Just go pack a bag.
We're staying
somewhere else tonight.
Answer me, Mom!
Did you have sex with Adam?
It was just once, okay?
It was a mistake.
And it happened a long time
before you started
going out with him.
Why didn't you tell me?
I wasn't proud of it.
Your dad came by with Cindi.
I was feeling vulnerable.
It had been a long time.
I ended it immediately, okay?
I knew it was wrong.
So all this time,
he was just using me.
Baby, you fell for his charms.
We both did, okay?
But he's still out there and
he knows where we live, okay?
So I need you
to be strong for me.
Can you do that?
Okay, okay.
I'll go pack my things.
All right.
I'll be right up, okay?
Oh, God.
You almost ready?
Almost!
Mom! He's...
Honey? You okay?
Becca?
- Becca!
- Let her rest.
She's had a rough day.
You both have, but, uh...
Don't worry.
I'm gonna make
everything better.
Becca?
Becca!
Becca?
Oh, my God, perfect timing.
Dinner's almost ready, my love.
What is this?
This is the first date,
a proper first date.
No distractions.
Want to dance?
All right.
This is nice.
Adam?
I used to dance with
my mother like this.
Where's my daughter?
Oh, she's retired for the night.
She, uh... She won't
be bothering us anymore.
What do you mean by that?
What do you think
I mean by that?
You gotta forget about her.
It's just me and you now.
Don't you get it?
It's the way it's meant to be.
Like with Rhonda Phillips?
Rhonda was a disappointment.
Rhonda couldn't...
handle what we had.
Rhonda wanted out
of the relationship!
So I let her out. Permanently.
Just like with your father?
Don't bring him up!
You don't know the first thing
about my father.
He was a bad man.
He was a bad man.
And my mother felt
the same way about him.
She wanted me all to herself.
He didn't understand
what we had.
Nobody understood what we had!
So I had to get rid of everybody
who stood in our way.
And that's exactly what's going
on with me and you, Gale.
That's exactly what's going
on with me and you, Gale!
- What are you doing?
- Where's Becca?
Where's Becca?
That's exactly what's going
on between me and you, Gale!
I've gotten rid of everybody
who stood in our way
so we could be happy!
Becca is in your past now.
Gale, look at me.
Becca's in your past
and I'm your future.
I'm your future.
It's a past that doesn't exist
anymore and I'm your future.
Look at me.
I am your future.
What is that?
What is that?
It's water, Gale.
What do you mean?
Becca!
Let her go! Let her go.
She's just dead weight now.
Without her and your ex-husband,
it's just us.
We can have a better life,
a new life!
- Gale, please!
- Get off me!
Mom!
It's okay, baby!
I'm coming!
Let's get you out of here.
Okay, okay, okay.
You're gonna be okay!
Very disappointing, Gale,
very disappointing.
Back in the house!
Where's your cell phone?
I don't know.
He must have taken them.
Open it!
The door! Now! Quick!
Ladies?
Playing hard to get?
I thought we were past that
point in our relationship.
Upstairs! Quick!
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
This isn't gonna hold him.
Gale, I'm done playing games!
Bathroom, come on.
Come on!
Come on, please.
It's us.
End of the line, ladies.
We need some kind of weapon.
Uh... Um...
Oh, Gale.
Gale?
Gale!
Turn on the bathtub
and plug the drain!
- Why?
- Just do it!
Okay.
I'm so disappointed.
Oh, ho, ho.
Oh...
Turns out, Gale,
you weren't worthy of my love.
That's a damn shame.
Turns out none of you were.
None of you.
Don't move a muscle!
Get next door,
and call the police.
You're not talking yourself
out of this one, son.
You need to stop calling me!
I mean it!
No!
No, you need to leave me alone.
I don't know how to make
it any more clear for you.
It's over.
Hello?
Hello?
Is someone there?
Mom! Your phone!
Yeah, I hear it.
I just can't find it.
Ice cream break.
Becca, did you take
the last of the...
The last of the what?
Never mind.
We're out of ice cream.
You don't say.
Did you check out
the living room?
I saw it.
What do you think?
Looks like a living room.
Well, how's your bedroom
coming along?
It's bigger than your
old one, isn't it?
It's just a room, Mom.
I thought you liked this place.
You said you approved.
I like the pool.
Could use a cleaning.
Yeah, I haven't gotten
around to that yet.
Hey, if you wanna pitch in
and start skimming?
I'd be up for a swim.
Why don't you just hire someone?
I mean, you're rich now
from the divorce, right?
That's not fair, Becca,
and that's not even true.
Who told you that?
- Forget it.
- Your father?
Forget it.
I want to hear what
you have to say.
You're part of this family.
I don't want to take sides.
Well, you know what he did.
I know what you've done.
Worked.
That's all I ever do.
Well, according to dad,
that was the problem.
And that gives him
the right to sleep around
with women half his age?
No, I didn't...
I didn't say that.
Look, I hate being put
in the middle, mom.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just... I'm trying
to make this work.
You know?
New house, new neighborhood,
new memories.
I get it, but I kind
of liked what we had.
Well, you could have
stayed with your father.
You're 18.
I'm not gonna live with dad
in the midst of
his mid-life crisis.
God, who is he dating now?
No, don't tell me.
I don't want to know.
Rule No. 15, never talk to me
about who your father is seeing,
not until I've had
at least a gallon
of Mint Chocolate Delight
in my system first.
I can go get some, but
I'd have to borrow your car.
I would take mine, but I...
You don't have one.
I'm well aware.
But you know what?
Graduation is right
around the corner.
Maybe your fairy car mother will
just appear right on time.
Just make sure there's some in
the container when you get back.
No promises. Bye!
Bye.
Thank you.
Scoop you later.
One quart of Chocolate Mint
and make it snappy, doll.
Yeah, like you need it.
I think body shaming
is considered a crime now,
especially in
an ice cream parlor.
Oh, this is my best friend.
I'm gonna take five.
Cover me.
Thanks, Greggy!
So how's the new digs?
Weird.
Look, just think about
it this way.
By fall, you'll be off
at college
with much better things
to worry about... like boys.
- Mm-hm.
- That's what keeps me busy.
Yeah? Who are you
suddenly dating?
Well, there's Mike, Hank...
oh, and Charlie.
- No, no! You're not!
- I am!
- In my mind.
- Mm-hm.
Well, don't start
suddenly dating my dad.
Ooh, Becca.
Older guys are hot,
but ancient guys are gross.
Okay.
No offense to your mom.
Yeah. How are we friends again?
Remind me?
Easy. We both suffer
from low self-esteem.
Yeah.
Can't catch a break.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- What are you doing here?
- I'm sorry.
- I didn't know anybody.
- You know you're trespassing!
I do now.
I'll get out of your way.
Who are you?
I'm Adam Lance.
Nice to meet you.
I clean a bunch of
the pools in this area.
Oh.
I'm Gale Foley.
My daughter and I just
moved in last week.
Well, that explains it.
Explains what?
Explains why I didn't
know you were here.
The realtor hired
me to clean the pool,
forgot to tell me
that he sold the place.
Yeah, I was the old owner's
pool cleaner, Rhonda Phillips.
Oh, that's the woman who died.
It was a real tragedy.
I guess she slipped
getting into the tub,
hit her head and drowned.
Yeah. I didn't hear any
of the details.
I heard there was an
accident five months ago.
Well, you're here now.
I guess I'm out of a job.
I'm really sorry
that I scared you.
I really didn't mean to.
I'll get out of your hair, Gale.
Wait. You know, I was just
talking with Becca, my daughter,
about how we do need
somebody to clean the pool.
What are your rates?
Well, that's awesome.
First time's on the house.
And I'll come back
every week or so.
And if you like my performance,
$75, flat fee.
Well, you can't beat
that with a stick... or pole.
Oh. That's funny.
Okay, well,
let's see what you can do.
Awesome. Great.
And Gale, I don't think
you're gonna be disappointed.
I clean up nice.
Hey, I'm Adam.
Um, Rebecca.
Becca.
My friends call me Becca.
Your mom hired me
to clean the pool, Becca.
Way to go, mom.
Oh, you know,
I shouldn't be much longer.
Sorry.
Oh, don't rush on my account.
That's fine.
Your dripping.
What?
The ice cream...
it's dripping?
Oh!
It's kind of warm out here.
I should probably
take it inside. Right.
Nice to meet you, Becca.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Jackie?
It's Becca.
You've heard of
Prince Charming, right?
I just met Prince Gorgeous.
I think I'm in love.
Died in the tub, huh?
Shower.
- Hey!
- Hey.
I'm just headed out with
Jackie to get some lunch.
Well, I was hoping
that we could spend
some quality time together,
you know,
when I'm done with my campaign.
Sure.
Be back by midnight.
Come on.
It won't take me that long.
I gotta go.
Oh, fine.
Have a great Sunday.
Just leave your poor old
mother here all alone.
I'm not gonna feel
guilty for you, Mom.
You could have fun, too,
if you wanted.
- Bye!
- Bye.
Hey, Gale, how you doing
this wonderful Sunday?
I'm all right.
Just, you know
finishing up some work.
Work? Today?
You know what they say
about all work and no play.
Makes Jack Torrance go crazy.
Huh?
Never mind.
Oh, I just left some
of my buckets out back.
I thought I'd come grab them.
Be my guest.
Thank you.
Where are you from, Adam?
I'm from all over,
but I like here a lot.
Nice people, lot of pools.
Ever since my mom passed away,
I've kind of been
fending for myself.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
- It's okay.
- Where's your father?
Well, he left us
when we were young,
but you know, we're better
off without him.
I can relate to that.
You are one popular lady.
Yeah.
Hey, Gale.
What are you doing here, Tony?
Just wanted to say hi.
See how you guys
are settling in.
And was wondering why you
hadn't signed the papers yet.
We're good, the move was fine.
And my lawyer charges
by the hour,
so he's taking his sweet time
finalizing the approval.
But, you know, if you're
in a rush,
you can go ahead
and light a fire under...
No rush. Just asking.
I'm gonna take
a drive down the coast.
Alone?
Not exactly.
Hi. I'm Cindi.
New car, huh?
Yeah, I thought
it was time for an upgrade.
A new model.
Maybe I'll let you take it
for a spin sometime.
I didn't know you had company.
Good.
You found the bucket.
This is Adam, my pool boy.
Pool man.
I'm 25.
Sorry. Man.
Just an expression.
This is Tony, my ex-husband,
a man who acts like a boy.
Hi. I'm Cindi.
Well, we better get going if we
wanna beat that coastal traffic.
Take care of yourself, Gale.
You too, Tony.
Looks like you have your
hands full yet again.
I don't believe him.
You know, he just showed up
here to flaunt his new car
and his new bimbo.
Oh, look at me.
Look how great my life is.
Upgrade, my ass.
You know what? He's trying
to turn Becca against me?
Trying to make me out
to be the villain?
But I'm not the one
who cheated on him!
Gale, I know it's not
my place to say,
but I think you're way
better off without him.
Just tell me. Why is it okay
for a man to date
a woman half his age, but
somehow it's looked down upon
for a woman to be
with a younger man?
I've never understood that.
Honestly, I haven't.
I blame the double standards
from movies and television.
You're right. You know,
I wouldn't even know
because my television,
of course, isn't working.
What's wrong with it?
I don't know.
I can't figure it out.
Well, maybe I can.
I'm pretty good with technology.
Where is it?
Upstairs.
But look, I don't want
to take up your whole day.
No, no, no.
It's fine, it's fine.
I don't have another client
for a couple of hours.
Your room, right?
- Yeah, my room.
- Okay.
You did it!
So what was the problem?
The inputs were reversed.
The connection was
all messed up.
Story of my life.
Yeah.
Listen, Gale, I think you ought
to forget about that loser.
You need someone who
makes you truly happy.
Yeah, you're preaching
to the choir.
You're so stressed.
You need to relax.
Maybe I can help with that, too.
Why, Mr. Robinson,
you're trying to seduce me.
Mr. Rob... what?
You're really sweet,
but this isn't gonna happen.
Why not?
Do you want reason number one
or number 57?
May I?
One can always find a reason
to not do something, Gale.
A fear, a justification,
a use of better judgment,
but people tend to regret the
things in life they don't do.
What's the fun in that?
Not living?
Gale, aren't you entitled
to a little fun, too?
It has been a long time, but...
Don't be afraid to live.
I'm not afraid.
Good.
So you have to
tell me everything.
Start from his chest
and work your way down.
Well, he was wearing shorts,
but he wasn't wearing a shirt.
Mm.
Muscles?
And then some.
Go on, and on and on and on.
I'm afraid if I do,
you'll explode!
I don't care.
I need visuals.
What's his name?
Adam.
Please tell me you
got a last name.
I did. Adam Lance.
Ooh, short for Lancelot?
Did he have a lot of lance?
Quite possibly.
This is impossible.
What?
I can't find him anywhere.
He has like
no social media presence.
No Adam Lance?
Well, there must be a thousand.
I know.
There's nothing.
Is this him?
Not even close.
Well, if he's as hot
as you say he is,
you better make
your move fast, girl.
My moves?
Well, it's time Miss Becca
learned some moves.
Class is now in session!
Phew.
Oh, boy. What did I do?
You did everything right.
You're an amazing woman, Gale.
And you are
an impressive pool boy.
And this was
a nice one-time thing.
What do you mean?
You're really nice
and really handsome.
And, also, you're
really, really young.
But didn't you just give
this whole speech about how
it's okay for older women
to date younger men?
What happened to that?
I don't want to stoop
to Tony's level.
I'm better than him.
In every way.
Which is why
I can't do this again.
Come on.
Just, please, try
to understand this.
I have a daughter and you're
young enough to be my son.
- But I'm not your son.
- Thank goodness for that.
You want me to go.
I think that would be best...
Look, this was great.
It really was,
and you fixed my TV.
You are quite the handyman.
Handyman?
I thought I was a pool boy.
Come on.
I'll show myself out.
She used me.
She used me.
I can play those games, too.
Yeah, I can play those game.
Playing games, Gale.
I know plenty of fun games.
Thanks for the ride!
Bye! Call me tonight.
I will. Bye!
Hey, I told you
to call me tonight.
The sun is still shining.
Look out the window.
I am.
He's here!
Who is there?
Mr. Tall, Dark and Chiseled?
Yep.
He's outside.
Doing what?
Skinny-dipping.
I'm kidding.
He's cleaning the pool.
What else?
That was... That was cruel.
All right.
This is perfect for you then.
Just do what we talked about.
Be cool about it
and make sure you look hot.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
I didn't know you were here.
Yeah, just getting
your pool ready for action.
And is it?
It's open for business anytime
you feel like getting wet.
Your mother around?
Um, no, she's still at work.
Probably not gonna
be around for hours.
Hours? Hmm.
Cool.
Why? Is she supposed
to pay you today?
No, that's cool.
She'll pay eventually.
You need some help with that?
Your back?
Uh, sure. That'd be great.
Thank you.
You in high school, Becca?
I'm a senior.
I just turned 18.
Wow.
Happy belated birthday.
Thanks.
How about you?
College boy?
Nah.
College is too theoretical.
I'm into more hands-on stuff.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
All right, you're done.
You're not!
I am so sorry!
It was Jackie's idea!
Who's Jackie?
She's my best friend.
Well, I guess it's a good idea
for a pool man to check out the
pool before anybody else, huh?
Yeah.
How is it?
See for yourself if you dare.
Ow!
Well, hello, Mrs. Foley.
Mom, you're home early.
Yeah. I just had work to do
and thought I could
accomplish more here.
What are you doing here, Adam?
Oh, I'm just showing
some special attention
to my two favorite clients.
Why?
Can I talk to you
for a moment inside?
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
What's up?
I thought that I made
it clear yesterday
that what happened between us...
Was a one-time thing?
Yeah, I got it.
You know, it was really special.
But I think this should just
stay between the two of us.
I'm not gonna
tell your daughter,
if that's what you think.
Good.
So what are you doing here?
I told you.
I take care of your pool.
Yeah. You're supposed to
come once every week
or once every other week.
Some pools need
a little extra attention.
Not my pool.
Well, it looks like
it's Becca's pool, too.
I think she's gonna be using
it a little more than you.
Adam, don't make me say
this more than once.
You stay away from my daughter.
Why? I mean, things are
obviously over between us.
And I'm free to see
whoever I want.
Okay. She's only 18 years old.
That's the legal age.
Not in this household!
It just doesn't seem fair.
I'm too young for you,
I'm too old for her.
I mean, where do I lie here?
You're starting to sound like
my mom, you know that?
That's actually
kind of starting to turn me on.
I think you should go.
You're the boss.
I gotta go.
- Okay.
- I got some stuff to do.
Okay.
What are you doing Saturday?
I could make myself available.
What'd you have in mind?
I don't know. Lunch? Dinner?
Up to you.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, what?
Lunch.
Lunch it is.
Sounds like a date.
Okay.
Wow. You're looking nice today.
Where you off to?
Um, just getting
together with Jackie.
We're gonna do some studying.
Studying?
You? On a Saturday?
Yeah.
Final exams next week.
In what?
Fashion design?
We're gonna study
in the library.
People are gonna see
us there, then we'll look good.
Look good for who?
You know, there's no
harm in taking pride
in one's appearance, mother.
Maybe you should
try it sometime.
And maybe you should start
telling the truth for a change.
I am telling you the truth.
Maybe if you would have
cared more how you look,
Dad wouldn't have left.
Do you really think that?
It's Jackie.
She's outside.
We'll finish this
conversation later.
You're supposed to pick me up
at the end of the block
so my mom doesn't see us!
I'm not afraid to
be seen with you.
And beauty should
never be hidden.
Anyways, your chariot
awaits, my lady.
Thank you.
Let's go get some dessert.
Yes. I know the perfect
place to get it.
It was dripping, I didn't
want it to spill.
Good thinking.
How's the ice cream?
Excuse me? What?
Adam, this is Jackie.
Jackie? Adam.
Pool boy.
You're the one who
recommended her
to push me in the pool, yeah?
Right. Every boy looks
good in a wet t-shirt.
Uh, Jackie, I could use some
extra napkins over here.
You know where they are.
- Be right back.
- I can go grab them.
No, that's all right.
I'm gonna wash my hands.
Be nice.
Me?
- No. Her.
- Mm-hmm.
So, Adam...
How do you spell your last name?
L-a-n-c-e.
Why are you asking?
Oh, I was just online
and was trying
to send you a friend request.
But I couldn't
find you anywhere.
I tried Adam Lance,
Adam Lancelot, King Adam.
I'm not on social media.
What are you? Like Amish?
No. I'm just taking a break
from the worldwide web.
But what if you need to remember
like special occasions
and people's birthdays...
I never forget.
So what did we learn?
Apparently, your boyfriend
has the mind of an elephant.
Huh?
She means when people talk,
I listen.
A guy who listens.
Can't beat that, right?
Right.
Well, it looks like Greg
needs me back over there.
So I'm going to go back to work.
It was nice meeting you, Adam.
Same.
Don't do everything I would do.
Call you later.
Hey.
How was the library?
Uh, fine.
Quiet.
Stop lying to me, Rebecca.
I saw you!
I saw you getting in his truck!
Okay.
So I went on a date.
Big deal.
I'm 18 now, Mom.
I'm old enough.
He's older than you.
Your stupid rules!
What's seven years, hmm?
At your age, a lot.
Dad's seven years
older than you.
And you see how that worked out.
I'm going to bed.
Becca!
Becca!
I'm trying to hold
this family together!
All while juggling
this big account at work.
You know, if I can pull it off,
it can mean a promotion,
maybe even a
partnership with the firm,
which could be good
for everybody!
But I can't focus on work
when I'm constantly
worried about you every day...
Then don't!
Ever since you and dad split up,
you've been treating me
like this porcelain doll
that's just about to break
at any second!
It's suffocating me!
I can take care of myself.
Oh, how I wish that were true.
Okay, I'm gonna make
this simple for you.
I don't want you seeing him!
Why? Jealous?
Don't be absurd.
What did he tell you?
What did you two do?
Everything.
I just had the best
night of my life.
I'm not gonna let you
ruin it for me.
You're grounded!
Do you hear me?
Whoa, wait, she grounded you?
Like used those words?
Mm-hmm.
What does she think you are? 12?
Well, that's how
she's been treating me.
Is she home now?
Nope.
Had a meeting
at her boss's house.
Left an hour ago.
On a Sunday?
Guess so.
She's been messing up everything
recently, like here and at work.
Somehow it's all Adam's fault.
But she hired him.
I know. I don't know
what her problem is.
I mean, Adam's a cool guy,
right?
Right?
To be honest,
he's a little weird, okay?
Weird?
Don't you mean awesome?
Amazing? Perfect?
Becca, you're not a guy
like him and not online.
That's like a huge red flag.
My grandmother is even online.
I'm not talking
conspiracy theory,
but you don't go off
the grid without a reason.
You're either
running from something
or hiding from someone.
Something is off about Adam.
I don't know.
Exactly.
You don't know.
It's like you've been
talking to my mother.
Becca, look...
Just be careful, okay?
Yes, mother.
Well, sorry you have
to go so soon.
Thanks for coming by.
That was Adam?
Yeah. He's coming over now.
Becca, don't rush into anything.
Think.
We don't know jack
about this guy.
I know his name's not Jack.
Do you?
I mean, do you really?
All we really know about him
is that he can clean a pool
and look good with
or without a shirt.
Get out of here, Jackie.
Two's company,
three's for losers.
Way to treat your best friend.
Way to be supportive!
Whatever.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Is your mom around?
No, she's out, probably
for a couple hours.
- Want to go for a swim?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God, do you...
- Oh!
Let's go!
Hey, Scott.
Yeah, I just got home.
Tell Victoria I'm picking up
the right thumb drive
and I'll be there in a sec.
Just stall her, okay?
Just say whatever
you have to say,
I know you can
come up with something.
Yes, I'm in a hurry.
It's me!
I grabbed the wrong drive!
Becca?
You here?
Becca?
What the hell's
going on out here?
Nothing.
I was just getting some sun
and Adam came by
to clean the pool.
Yeah, just doing my job.
Becca, go up to your room.
Why? I wasn't...
Room, now!
I hate you.
So, what's up?
What do you think you're
doing with my daughter?
Showing her a good time.
Time we could be having,
should be having.
Are you trying to date her to
make me jealous or something?
Well, is it working?
It's over, Adam!
- What's over?
- All of it!
You stay away from Becca.
You stay away from me and
you stay away from this house.
You're fired!
You got that?
Loud and clear.
Good.
I want you out of our lives
and never come back.
You take care of yourself, Gale.
What's that supposed to mean?
Just don't let your emotions
get the better of you.
That's when accidents
can happen.
Victoria, hi.
I was just heading out the door.
Don't bother. We won't be
needing you here today.
But what about the presentation?
I was up all night preparing.
Just give everything to Scott.
This meeting doesn't
concern you.
Victoria, I meant to
come back yesterday.
But I had a family
emergency with my daughter.
I sent you all the items
and I got confirmation
that they were received.
They were, Gale, and
I understand priorities.
I tried calling
you several times,
but it went to voicemail.
I like to see the people
I'm talking with, Gale.
Just relax today and
we'll discuss your position
with this firm tomorrow.
You just take care of you.
You say you found a rat
in the filter pump?
Yeah, I did.
Was the cover off?
No.
Odd.
I don't know how a rat
could have crawled up in there
unless it was a contortionist.
Yeah.
I was thinking the same thing.
When's the last time
you had this pool cleaned?
Just recently, actually.
Well, whoever did it
didn't do a great job.
You know, I used
to clean this one
when it was owned
by Mrs. Phillips,
obviously, before
she had that accident.
I heard she died in the bathtub.
Yeah. It does seem odd, too.
She never hit me as
the clumsy type.
Of course, I was
long gone by then.
She had hired another guy,
a kid, to clean this pool.
Although some have speculated
that he did more for her
than just clean,
if you get my drift.
Really?
If the rumors are true,
I guess she liked
the company of younger men.
Hey, now!
What, what is it?
Anyone you know lose a tooth?
Detective?
Detective Davidson?
Yes. You're in my spot.
Sorry.
I didn't want to miss you.
Inside the station,
they said you were the one
in charge of the
Rhonda Phillips case?
I'm Gale Foley.
I was just waiting
for you to return.
It was a little hectic
inside of there.
Oh, right, yeah, the Phillips
woman hit her head, drowned.
Coroner's report deemed it was
an accidental death, that one?
Yeah. Well, I moved into
her house just recently.
And I was wondering when
you were examining her body,
was she missing a tooth?
I'd have to check the report.
Why?
Because I found this stuck
in the drain
at the bottom of
the swimming pool today.
In the pool?
Yeah. So if they
found her in a tub,
how could her tooth
end up in the pool?
Okay, Mrs. Foley,
I'll look into it.
Thank you.
Oh, will you also check
an Adam Lance for me?
He was the pool cleaner at the
time of Miss Phillips's death.
Mr. Lance, yeah.
We interviewed him,
but we didn't find anything
connecting him to her death.
Look harder, please.
The guy scares me
and he's been hanging around
my house and my daughter.
Okay.
Well, if he doesn't
leave you alone,
you can take out a
restraining order, okay?
I just might do that.
Thank you.
Come on, Becca.
Rebecca hasn't come
home from school yet.
And I've been trying
to call her,
but she's not picking up
her cell phone.
Do you know where she might be?
I don't know.
We're not really speaking
to each other right now.
Really? Why?
What happened?
We had a difference
of opinion on something.
Did it have to do with Adam?
That guy she's seeing?
You should really talk
to Becca about that.
I don't really feel
comfortable talking...
I think he might be
dangerous, obsessive.
You know, he gave me
the creeps, too.
Why'd you hire him?
He just showed up at the house.
He used to work for the woman
who lived there before us.
But didn't she die?
Yeah. That's part of why
I'm worried about Becca.
Please, just try to talk to her.
Just convince her
to stay away from Adam.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
I'll do my best.
Thank you, I'd really
appreciate it.
Come on, Becca, pick up.
Come on, come on.
Thank God!
Becca, I just got done
talking to your mom.
And she's really worried
and so am I.
I know you don't want
to hear this right now,
but we think Adam
is really unhinged.
You know that woman
that died in your house?
We think he had something
to do with it.
Don't trust him, Becca,
please, whatever you do, okay?
Becca? Becca?
Okay.
- Hi.
- Hey.
You know, I love this place,
but the only annoying thing
is that the restroom's all
the way back at the entrance.
Oh, that's so annoying.
This is one
of my favorite spots.
Yeah, mine too and
being here with you.
Oh, my God, if your mother
could see us now.
She'd kill me!
Gosh, I can't imagine
what she'd do to you.
I can.
Mothers can be very controlling.
Tell me about it.
But it all comes from love.
Love is everything,
even if it's meant to
misdirect or to manipulate.
Did someone do that to you?
I don't know...
even if she did.
Doesn't make her a bad person.
They're just trying to protect
the ones they love.
No matter what the consequences,
it's instinctual.
Sounds like she hurt you,
whoever she was.
I can handle it.
I can hurt them right back
if they get in my way.
Because love
conquers all, right?
I could stay with you
like this forever.
Forever's a long time.
Becca?
Are you home?
Becca?
Becca, we need to talk.
It's really important.
Come on.
I know you're not sleeping.
This is childish.
Okay, fine.
We're gonna talk later.
"Come around the back.
Don't wake mom."
Hmm.
- Oh, my God!
- Jackie!
Jackie?
I think my leg is broken!
You fell in?
Stay there.
I'm gonna go call 911!
- He pushed me!
- Who?
I didn't see who it was!
She didn't say she fell.
She said she was pushed
and I suspect Adam Lance.
No, I don't have any proof,
but just see what you
can do, please.
I have to go.
- Good morning, Gale.
- Morning.
Mind if I walk with you
to your office?
- Of course not.
- Good.
I just wanted to see if
you enjoyed your day off.
It was a bit hectic,
to be honest.
But, like I said,
I'm not gonna let anything
interfere with work again.
That's good to hear.
After all, work is work
and personal matters
should stay personal
and at home.
Yeah, I completely agree.
Great.
So maybe you can explain this?
Oh, my God!
And someone named Adam
has called
about a dozen times
this morning.
Scott left the
messages on your desk,
if you can still locate your
desk under all this clutter.
We have a strict rule here.
Keep your personal life personal
and out of this office.
I'm so sorry.
This guy, he's insane.
He's unstable.
I've already contacted
the police.
I'll call them again.
I'll file a restraining order.
I don't need this kind
of trouble, Mrs. Foley.
I have enough of my own.
Fix this situation immediately
or don't bother
coming back to work.
Yes, Victoria.
Back to work!
Oh, man, I can't believe
you slept with him.
Yeah, well, I can't believe
some of the women
you slept with either, honey.
So what do you want me to do?
Talk to him.
I tried. I even contacted
the police several times.
But Detective Davidson says
that declarations of love
don't constitute
a criminal offense.
And since he hasn't come
within 500 feet of me,
a restraining order
is out of the question.
I thought maybe he would listen
to you, you know, man-to-man?
But he's just a kid.
Yeah, who's dating our daughter.
He's what?
I think he's seeing her
to get back at me,
trying to make me jealous
or something.
He texts me all day long.
He won't leave me alone.
He's obsessed.
He even says things like
I remind him of his mother,
his dead mother.
Does Becca know about this?
No. She won't talk to me.
And if I tell her this, she's
never gonna talk to me again.
She's convinced that
she's in love with this guy.
I seriously think
he's dangerously disturbed.
He even had something to do
with Becca's friend, Jackie,
getting hurt last
night, possibly others.
Has he done anything to Becca?
No.
No, she's safe at school.
I checked before I came here.
But I can't keep
her away from him.
And if I keep rejecting him,
he might take it out on her.
Where do I find him?
Well, I called the flower shop
where he bought most
of the gifts this morning.
I convinced them that
I was gonna return the favor,
so they gave me his address.
I'll pay this Adam Lance a visit
and make sure he never gets
near you or Becca again.
Hello, Adam. Remember me?
Mr. Foley?
Gale's ex.
Can I help you with something?
Can we talk inside for a minute?
Actually, I'd prefer
we talk out here.
Are you hiding
something in there?
Just my clutter.
Just my clutter, huh?
So...
Is it true
you're dating my daughter
and sleeping with my wife?
Oh, how do I answer?
What can I say?
You have great taste in women.
Come on, man.
You stay away from
Becca and Gale, got it?
No!
No?
You got a death wish, boy?
Gale loves me!
You had your chance
and you blew it.
Uh-uh.
Gale hates you, Adam.
And she sent me over here
to make that absolutely clear.
I don't believe you. I don't.
You're just so mad because
I have what you once had.
You can't stand the fact
that she loves me.
You're just like
the rest of them, man.
You're a bad father
and an even worse husband.
And without you in the picture,
Gale, Becca and I,
we're gonna be happy.
We're gonna be really happy.
You need some serious help, son.
I am not your son!
And you can hit me
as much as you want
'cause you can't break me.
So hit me, man! Hit me!
Dude, hit me, dude! Hit me!
Hit me, please!
Hit me, dude!
Hit me!
You're all kinds of crazy
and I'm gonna see to it
that you're locked up
so you never get near my wife
and daughter again.
That's a promise.
We'll see, Tony.
We will see.
How could you?
Honey, what's wrong?
You know what's wrong!
You practically beat my
boyfriend to death.
What? No, I didn't.
Come inside.
No!
I saw what you did to him!
He sent me pictures!
Yeah, he was too ashamed
to see me in person.
I only hit him once.
Look! Look at him!
He's covered in bruises!
You nearly broke his arm!
And he told me
you trashed his place, too.
I never went in his place.
I didn't do any of this.
So he did it to himself, hmm?
Becca, this guy,
he is a sick man.
He is not right in the head.
I think his parents
did something to him
when he was young,
abused him or...
Oh, he was abused, all right.
And here's the proof.
Becca, this...
He's gonna get a
restraining order against you
and I don't even blame him!
Becca, this is all a lie.
Stay out of my life!
I never want to see you again!
Becca, wait...
Stay out of my life!
- Becca!
- Stay out!
Becca, wait!
Becca, come on!
What was that all about, Tony?
Let's go back inside.
I just told you to
talk to him, Tony.
Threaten him, maybe,
not beat him to a pulp!
He sent all the pictures
to my cell phone
along with more love notes.
I swear I only hit him once,
Gale, not even that hard.
Well, that's gonna be
impossible to prove.
Do you know where Becca is?
Did she say where she was going?
Was she heading home?
I don't know.
I hope so.
Call me as soon as she gets in?
Let me know she's safe?
Okay, I will.
Bye, Tony.
Come on, Tony.
You've got to
calm down and relax.
I need to find my daughter.
No, you don't.
You need to give her some space.
When I was 18 and my parents
got on my case,
if I didn't get some alone time,
it just made everything worse.
And y'all need to cool down.
Let's get in the jacuzzi.
I don't think that's gonna help.
It always works for me.
All right.
I need my cell phone
in case Gale calls back.
I'll go get it.
I'll be right back.
Hey, what's up with this water?
What is it?
I don't know.
It's just...
It's like it's too hot!
Like burning me!
Tony, are you okay?
It's burning my skin!
Tony! Honey!
It's burning!
Help!
Thank you, Miss Sullivan.
I'll let you know if we have
any more further questions.
Okay. Thank you.
How is he?
He's sleeping now.
They gave him a sedative.
And the doctor said he'll
be okay in a couple of days.
But his skin and eyes
were badly burned
by some calcium chemical
in the jacuzzi.
In the jacuzzi?
Some bleach or something.
I don't know how
it got in there.
Oh, look at you, cutting class.
I must be a bad influence.
Whose place is this?
Yours?
I wish.
Are we allowed in here?
Sure. It's one of
my client's pools.
I'm house sitting
while they're away.
Are we at the Playboy Mansion?
Why? Do you feel like
getting naked?
No. I feel like we're
getting into trouble.
What did I tell you?
We got the whole place
to ourselves for the weekend.
Let's go for a dip.
I didn't bring my suit.
Neither did I.
Umm...
I mean, how many times do you
get to do this, right?
It's a beautiful pool.
I'm not sure if
I'm ready for this.
Becca?
I don't know.
Do you just need
some convincing?
No. Not here.
Come on, come on.
- Not in broad daylight.
- Come on, come on, come on.
I want to see what
your mother created.
What?
Why did you say it like that?
Why... your mother gave
birth to something...
why are you ashamed
of your body?
I'm not ashamed of my body!
I just think it's weird
that you're talking about my mom
while we're making out,
especially since she hates you.
Don't say that.
Don't say...
Gale's just confused.
Excuse me?
She'll come around once
she realizes what she's missing.
What are you saying, Adam?
Becca, you won't understand.
No! Do you have a thing
for my mom?
We have something special,
Becca...
Gale and I.
I told you once.
You won't under...
I don't want to understand!
Becca. Becca!
Becca!
Becca, what are you doing?
This is why I can't
date younger girls!
Don't you get it?
Don't you get it?
You don't understand intimacy!
And you can't handle
a real relationship.
God, but your mother could.
Your mother could.
In fact, she loved it.
She did, she loved it.
No!
It's not funny!
- My God.
- You're sick.
My dad was right!
You're dad's a loser and
he got what he deserved.
Woo!
It's Jackie.
Jackie too, man.
She should stop wandering
around in the dark
and messing around with
other peoples' affairs.
It can get dangerous.
It can.
What is it?
Becca, what is it?
Jackie!
What are you doing back
at work so soon?
I told her not to come back
until she was ready.
I don't like sitting
around the house.
Besides, Greggy here has been
giving me free ice cream
and I'm getting great pity
tips from all the regulars.
It's pretty sweet.
I'm sorry... for everything.
You were right.
Adam's weird.
He's delusional!
I was just looking out
for my best friend.
I know that now.
When did you send
this text message?
Right after I called you and
told you I spoke to your mom
about that woman
that died in your house.
Did you leave a voicemail?
Becca, you picked up and
then sent that text message.
I never picked up that call
and I never sent
this text message.
Becca, please tell me
it's over between you two.
It is.
Does he know that?
I sure hope so. Why?
Because he's staring
at us right now.
I'm calling the police.
Cup of Chocolate Mint?
We'd be better off with a gun!
Hello? I'd like to speak
to Detective Davidson!
Yes, I'll hold!
Who was that?
My ex-boyfriend.
Where do you think he's headed?
I've got to get home
to check on my mom!
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Be careful!
I will.
Well, it's all ready
for the new water.
You sure you don't
want me to start the hoses?
It'd take maybe
a day or two to fill.
Oh, let's do it tomorrow,
it's getting late.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Great.
Oh, could you lock up
the back gate when you leave?
I think I can manage that.
Thanks.
You're the best.
Why hire the rest when you can
get the best, I always say.
Hello?
Mrs. Foley?
Detective Davidson here.
Looks like we got a lucky break.
We found a print at
Mr. Foley's place.
It was on the side
of the jacuzzi.
It belongs to Adam Lance.
Okay, wait a second.
So you had his
fingerprints on file?
That means that he must
have a record.
I did some digging.
His old file was sealed,
but I pulled a few strings.
Why was it sealed?
Because he was 14,
still a minor,
when his father
was found murdered.
Are you saying that
he killed his own father?
They couldn't prove it.
His mother provided
an alibi for Adam.
But there was speculation that
they planned the crime together.
Adam and his mother were close.
I mean, disturbingly so.
Oh, my God.
- Mom!
- Rebecca.
Oh, Mom!
Are you okay?
Yes! I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry for everything!
It's okay!
For how I treated
you and dad and everything.
Sweetheart, all that matters
is you're safe, okay?
All right, come here.
I love you.
You're far from
the best, Carlton.
This is my house.
We only need one
pool boy, right?
Come on, come on.
Mrs. Foley?
Hello? Mrs. Foley?
Mrs. Foley!
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm right here and
my daughter just got home.
Good. Ask her if she knows
where Adam Lance currently is.
Where's Adam?
I never want to see him again!
You were right.
I think he's
dangerous, disturbed.
When did you last see him?
He was in a car and
he was staring at Jackie and me
like he wanted to kill us.
I was afraid he was
heading here to see you.
Did you hear that, Davidson?
Yes.
Maybe it'd be best if you
guys go away for a little while.
Check into a hotel tonight
until we've located him.
Yeah. I think that's
a great idea.
Please call me as soon
as you have him in custody.
You got it.
Mom, Adam...
he was like
a different person today.
He didn't want me anymore.
He wanted you.
It was like he was
in love with you.
He's not well.
Honey, he needs help,
help that neither one
of us can give him.
But he made it sound like you
guys were sleeping together.
That's not true, Mom, is it?
Is it?
We'll discuss this later.
Just go pack a bag.
We're staying
somewhere else tonight.
Answer me, Mom!
Did you have sex with Adam?
It was just once, okay?
It was a mistake.
And it happened a long time
before you started
going out with him.
Why didn't you tell me?
I wasn't proud of it.
Your dad came by with Cindi.
I was feeling vulnerable.
It had been a long time.
I ended it immediately, okay?
I knew it was wrong.
So all this time,
he was just using me.
Baby, you fell for his charms.
We both did, okay?
But he's still out there and
he knows where we live, okay?
So I need you
to be strong for me.
Can you do that?
Okay, okay.
I'll go pack my things.
All right.
I'll be right up, okay?
Oh, God.
You almost ready?
Almost!
Mom! He's...
Honey? You okay?
Becca?
- Becca!
- Let her rest.
She's had a rough day.
You both have, but, uh...
Don't worry.
I'm gonna make
everything better.
Becca?
Becca!
Becca?
Oh, my God, perfect timing.
Dinner's almost ready, my love.
What is this?
This is the first date,
a proper first date.
No distractions.
Want to dance?
All right.
This is nice.
Adam?
I used to dance with
my mother like this.
Where's my daughter?
Oh, she's retired for the night.
She, uh... She won't
be bothering us anymore.
What do you mean by that?
What do you think
I mean by that?
You gotta forget about her.
It's just me and you now.
Don't you get it?
It's the way it's meant to be.
Like with Rhonda Phillips?
Rhonda was a disappointment.
Rhonda couldn't...
handle what we had.
Rhonda wanted out
of the relationship!
So I let her out. Permanently.
Just like with your father?
Don't bring him up!
You don't know the first thing
about my father.
He was a bad man.
He was a bad man.
And my mother felt
the same way about him.
She wanted me all to herself.
He didn't understand
what we had.
Nobody understood what we had!
So I had to get rid of everybody
who stood in our way.
And that's exactly what's going
on with me and you, Gale.
That's exactly what's going
on with me and you, Gale!
- What are you doing?
- Where's Becca?
Where's Becca?
That's exactly what's going
on between me and you, Gale!
I've gotten rid of everybody
who stood in our way
so we could be happy!
Becca is in your past now.
Gale, look at me.
Becca's in your past
and I'm your future.
I'm your future.
It's a past that doesn't exist
anymore and I'm your future.
Look at me.
I am your future.
What is that?
What is that?
It's water, Gale.
What do you mean?
Becca!
Let her go! Let her go.
She's just dead weight now.
Without her and your ex-husband,
it's just us.
We can have a better life,
a new life!
- Gale, please!
- Get off me!
Mom!
It's okay, baby!
I'm coming!
Let's get you out of here.
Okay, okay, okay.
You're gonna be okay!
Very disappointing, Gale,
very disappointing.
Back in the house!
Where's your cell phone?
I don't know.
He must have taken them.
Open it!
The door! Now! Quick!
Ladies?
Playing hard to get?
I thought we were past that
point in our relationship.
Upstairs! Quick!
Come on! Come on!
Come on!
This isn't gonna hold him.
Gale, I'm done playing games!
Bathroom, come on.
Come on!
Come on, please.
It's us.
End of the line, ladies.
We need some kind of weapon.
Uh... Um...
Oh, Gale.
Gale?
Gale!
Turn on the bathtub
and plug the drain!
- Why?
- Just do it!
Okay.
I'm so disappointed.
Oh, ho, ho.
Oh...
Turns out, Gale,
you weren't worthy of my love.
That's a damn shame.
Turns out none of you were.
None of you.
Don't move a muscle!
Get next door,
and call the police.
You're not talking yourself
out of this one, son.
