You Have To Go

1 ["IT'S A GOOD DAY" BY PEGGY LEE PLAYING.]
Yes, it's a good day For singin' a song And it's a good day For movin' along Yes, it's a good day How could anything be wrong? A good day from morning till night And it's a good day For shinin' your shoes And it's a good day For losin' the blues Everything to gain And nothing to lose A good day from morning till night I said to the sun Good morning, sun Rise and shine today So take a deep breath And throw away the pills 'Cause it's a good day From morning till night [FLAMES CRACKLE.]

[JEN.]
You see what happens? You live with your grandmother for three days, and your brother becomes a Christian.
[RABBI RECITES "MOURNER'S KADDISH" IN HEBREW.]
[ALL.]
Amen.
Amen.
[CHRISTOPHER.]
Where's Judy? Um Judy's not coming.
She's not gonna be in our lives anymore.
Isn't she, like, your best friend? What? No.
No, not at all.
Barely knew her.
Then why did you let her live with us? You guys wanna have this chitchat later? Henry's about to become a child of Christ.
[JUDY.]
Excuse me, rabbi.
I just wanna say it was such a nice service.
I love that prayer.
It was beautiful.
What did it mean? That despite losing someone we love, we still praise God.
Even though God took away the person we love? If we want God to forgive us, we have to forgive Him.
I like that.
It's nice to think of Abe up in Heaven with God.
That is nice to think of, but there is no Heaven.
- Really? - No Hell either.
Really? No matter how much bad someone's done or how many people you've hurt? Well, in the Jewish faith, if you've hurt someone, you've got to try to make amends.
Find a way to compensate for what you've done wrong.
Thank you.
Shalom.
Henry Theodore Harding, we now wash away your original sin.
What's original sin? Basically, we're all born guilty and sinful.
But then when we get baptized, it's like we get a do-over.
Then, all you have to do is ask for forgiveness and you get a clean slate.
Isn't that nice? [WHISPERS.]
She's totally fucking lying to you.
[WAYNE.]
Through baptism, we are all one in Jesus Christ.
- [CHRISTOPHER SQUEALS.]
- [WAYNE.]
I baptize you in the name - of the Father and the son - Sorry.
and of the Holy Spirit.
[ANA.]
Mrs.
Harding.
Hi.
Judy Hale killed my husband.
Yeah? Yeah? What do you mean, "yeah"? I mean, as of recently, I've been made aware of her possible involvement.
No, no.
No, it is not possible.
It is definite.
She confessed it to me.
Okay.
I I feel like you're being cavalier about this.
I'm not trying to be cavalier.
- Well, then go arrest her.
- It doesn't work that way.
There are much bigger factors involved.
What factors? God! The way you talk fucking annoys the shit out of me.
I'm sorry.
But I can't.
It involves another investigation.
And until that plays itself out, my hands are tied with Ms.
Hale.
And even then, if she confesses, it's not enough to warrant an arrest.
She is a murderer and she is walking around free as a fucking bird.
You have to do something.
Okay, I can get you a restraining order.
That'll take me about 24 hours.
She killed my husband and then she moved in with me.
A restraining order isn't gonna do it.
Thank you for fucking nothing again.
Mrs.
Harding, wait.
Mrs.
Harding.
For now, try and take comfort knowing that you have your answer.
Isn't that what you wanted? You want me to take comfort in the fact that we live in a world where everyone knows what the truth is and there are no consequences? There will be consequences, I assure you.
Oh, no.
I assure you.
Look at us working together again.
[CHUCKLES.]
Look at us.
You know, I have to say, having Charlie at my house has been a real godsend.
It's like having Ted back.
Well, yeah.
It's just a phase.
Charlie will come home when he's done being mad at me.
- Well, I'm glad to be able to help.
- Okay.
Be someone you can turn to.
That's what family's for.
You look tired.
Lorna, I just sold two of these units for you all cash.
What is it gonna take for you to just lay off? Well, you didn't sell anything.
What? Steve Wood pulled his deposit this morning.
I thought you knew.
- Why? - I don't know.
He's your client.
Oh, shit.
Well, don't dwell.
Circulate the trays.
And do one more Swiffer of the bathrooms.
I want that faux marble spotless.
Yup.
Of course.
Hi.
Would you like one? - No.
- Okay.
Great.
- May I offer you a pinwheel? - No.
Hi.
Would either of you like to try one of these? - No.
- Okay.
Hi.
Good afternoon.
Would you like a pinwheel? - [MAN.]
No.
- Okay.
Good.
[SIGHS.]
- Hi.
- [JEN GASPS.]
Get the fuck out of here! - Please don't make a scene.
- Then get the fuck out! I don't want you to get in trouble.
Let me help you.
No, don't fucking help me.
- Shh.
- You shh! Okay.
- You look really nice.
- Shut up.
- Okay.
- What the fuck are you doing here? How dare you fucking show up here? I'm working for Lorna to keep a roof over my kids' heads, to keep my life together.
A life that you destroyed.
I know.
That's why I'm turning myself in.
I just wanted you to know I'm gonna ask for the maximum sentence.
It might be the chair if that's something that they still do, but the worst punishment of all is losing you.
Well, I already turned you in.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's You should have.
That's right.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
That's ight thing to do.
- Good for you.
- Shut up.
- Okay.
It doesn't even fucking matter, because your confession isn't enough.
So you get to go walk free and fuck with my head as much as you want to.
I don't wanna fuck with your head.
- Then what do you fucking want, Judy? - I want to just make amends.
I want you to be okay.
You want me to be okay? Yeah.
You hit my husband and left him to die.
Then you stalk me, you move into my home, you get my children to trust you.
You are a fucking sociopath.
- I love you.
- I fucking hate you.
Okay.
Stay the fuck away from me.
If there's anything that I can do You know what you can do? You can disappear off the fucking planet.
Okay.
I have Ted's gun in in my purse.
So, if I see you again or you go anywhere near my family I will shoot you in the fucking head.
Do you understand me? Yeah I do.
Get the fuck out and don't even come near me.
Get the fuck out of here, Judy.
Go.

Sure.
I'm his godfather, after all.
He's very lucky to have you.
Yeah.
Hey, what happened with Jen? Why did you move out? She didn't tell you? No, she won't talk about it.
So I assume a violent outburst is imminent? Just be kind to her, please.
She really needs a friend right now.

It's okay.
Judy got me a bird I can keep inside.
- What? - You wanna see? It's for my baptism.

She destroyed me, Jen.
My whole life, my family, everything I worked for, it's all gonna disappear.
What happened? I can't really get into it.
What? She run someone else over? She told you? Yeah.
Shit.
Would it make any difference if I if I told you I'm sorry? Not that I was the one driving.
You were in the car? Jen, that was honestly one of the worst moments of my entire life.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
It It just killed me not to tell you, especially once I don't know, once I got to know you.
You know, in so many ways, I feel like we are we are in this together.
- You know? - Are we? Yeah.
That's why I need you to help me.
I gotta find Judy.
Can you help me do that? Why didn't you stop? What? That night.
Oh.
I mean, I wanted to.
Judy said she wanted to go back, but she couldn't.
Why not? I don't I don't know.
I don't know.
She just didn't.
And you didn't.
- Don't do that.
- Do what? Don't turn this into some "blame the man" thing.
That's bullshit.
Don't.
We both know what Judy is capable of.
Yeah.
And I know what you're capable of.
Oh, you have no fucking idea.
Hey, her hand was on the wheel.
Her foot was on the gas.
So don't fucking look at me like that.
Fuck you.
Fuck you! She was driving.
She did it.
