1
00:00:10,553 --> 00:00:12,263
[woman] Oh, my God.

2
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:14,807
People are losing their minds
over your pots.

3
00:00:14,891 --> 00:00:18,853
Half your pieces have already sold.
That took all of 25 minutes. [laughing]

4
00:00:18,936 --> 00:00:21,522
Oh, my God.
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

5
00:00:21,606 --> 00:00:22,440
[woman] Mmm.

6
00:00:23,024 --> 00:00:23,858
Where's Dean?

7
00:00:23,941 --> 00:00:27,528
Oh, he's home with the kids.
They had homework and…

8
00:00:27,612 --> 00:00:30,823
Yeah, we still don't feel great
about leaving them alone.

9
00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:35,495
But, uh… He and you are…

10
00:00:35,578 --> 00:00:36,996
Are you guys okay?

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,873
Uh… Probably.

12
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:42,418
Ask me again in five minutes.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,422
Well, maybe this will do the trick.

14
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:52,303
I heard back
from Miami Basel and Geneva Basel.

15
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:56,099
Remember? I wasn't sure which one
you were going to get invited to?

16
00:00:56,182 --> 00:00:58,309
Well, both, it turns out.

17
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,562
-[chuckles]
-[sighs in relief]

18
00:01:01,646 --> 00:01:03,606
Really? Oh, my God.

19
00:01:03,689 --> 00:01:06,609
You did it.
You have burst onto the scene, Nora.

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,403
This is what it looks like
to finally arrive.

21
00:01:09,987 --> 00:01:11,989
I feel like this is some kind of prank.

22
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:13,908
-[woman laughing]
-[chuckling] Oh, my God.

23
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:15,409
-[glasses clink]
-Wow.

24
00:01:15,493 --> 00:01:16,452
Wow.

25
00:01:16,536 --> 00:01:17,995
This is, um…

26
00:01:21,249 --> 00:01:24,460
I'm speechless.

27
00:01:25,044 --> 00:01:27,338
Nora, where'd you just go?

28
00:01:27,421 --> 00:01:31,467
Oh, I'm sorry. It's… It's Dean.

29
00:01:33,678 --> 00:01:37,140
Bailing on the house
has him convinced that he's a failure.

30
00:01:38,057 --> 00:01:41,561
And here I am doing all this.

31
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:44,397
It's hard.

32
00:01:45,231 --> 00:01:46,399
[inhales deeply]

33
00:01:47,817 --> 00:01:48,693
[siren wailing]

34
00:01:48,776 --> 00:01:50,528
Yeah. Bruce, it's Nora.

35
00:01:51,237 --> 00:01:53,364
Sorry it's so late. I just, uh…

36
00:01:54,490 --> 00:01:55,449
Did you have…

37
00:01:56,742 --> 00:01:59,203
Okay, not a single offer?

38
00:02:01,747 --> 00:02:04,458
What? Yeah. I mean, it's been two weeks.

39
00:02:06,711 --> 00:02:08,254
[sighs] Okay, so…

40
00:02:10,173 --> 00:02:11,674
Just drop the price.

41
00:02:12,717 --> 00:02:14,051
Yeah, we have to get rid of it.

42
00:02:22,226 --> 00:02:23,227
[whispering] There we go…

43
00:02:24,187 --> 00:02:26,939
[speaking normally] Hey.
This isn't what it looks like. Okay?

44
00:02:27,023 --> 00:02:30,151
I just… I couldn't sleep.
My mind was kind of racing.

45
00:02:30,234 --> 00:02:32,862
I started thinking about John Graff
and I had an idea.

46
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:35,323
-No, no, no.
-Just listen to me for a second.

47
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:39,035
-No, I'm not gonna listen. No.
-There's one thing that we overlooked.

48
00:02:41,204 --> 00:02:42,121
[sighs]

49
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:45,625
Okay.

50
00:02:45,708 --> 00:02:48,502
Okay. It's actually
something that you said.

51
00:02:48,586 --> 00:02:49,462
What was that?

52
00:02:50,004 --> 00:02:51,714
Theodora was right, okay?

53
00:02:51,797 --> 00:02:54,425
I meet this guy. Right?
He tells me his name is John.

54
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:57,678
And then later when
Theodora tells me the John Graff story,

55
00:02:57,762 --> 00:03:00,681
I just picture this guy, right?
I mean it makes sense.

56
00:03:00,765 --> 00:03:03,517
I probably will always picture him
from now on,

57
00:03:05,019 --> 00:03:07,271
but what if he's John Johnson?

58
00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:09,023
That's a stupid name.

59
00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:11,609
-But you know what I'm saying, right?
-This has to stop.

60
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:14,111
What if you're right?
He's just a guy, right?

61
00:03:14,195 --> 00:03:15,780
Just a guy, just an imposter,

62
00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:18,407
just somebody who was put up to it, right?

63
00:03:18,491 --> 00:03:22,620
He's not gonna go into hiding
because he's not John Graff, right? So…

64
00:03:24,664 --> 00:03:27,917
What if we hired
a composite sketch artist to draw him?

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,252
-No. Dean.
-[Dean] Listen to me.

66
00:03:29,335 --> 00:03:31,879
And then we could put it
on flyers all over town

67
00:03:31,963 --> 00:03:34,173
and we can see if neighbors recognize him.

68
00:03:34,257 --> 00:03:36,884
Dean, this has to stop! Okay?

69
00:03:36,968 --> 00:03:38,970
Just admit that we lost. We lost.

70
00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:40,554
-Yeah, I know.
-No, you don't.

71
00:03:40,638 --> 00:03:45,601
You somehow think that this is not over
and I'm telling you right now, it is over.

72
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,692
-Did you happen to ride the subway today?
-What?

73
00:03:52,775 --> 00:03:57,446
It was so fucked up.
There were 2-hour delays. Do you know why?

74
00:03:58,447 --> 00:04:02,076
Canal Street station, morning rush,
8 train is pulling in

75
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:07,790
and some psycho pushes two strangers
onto the track. Dead, just like that.

76
00:04:11,836 --> 00:04:13,004
This fucking city.

77
00:04:15,047 --> 00:04:17,258
Something's going on.

78
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:21,971
It's like a sickness
and I tried to get us someplace safe,

79
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:24,223
and here we are
back in our old place again,

80
00:04:24,307 --> 00:04:25,599
and I can't accept it, Nora.

81
00:04:25,683 --> 00:04:27,018
-We had it.
-No, we didn't.

82
00:04:27,101 --> 00:04:28,644
-We had the house…
-We never did.

83
00:04:28,728 --> 00:04:31,439
…we had the life
and somebody ripped it away from us,

84
00:04:31,522 --> 00:04:33,482
and I… I am gonna get it back for us.

85
00:04:33,566 --> 00:04:35,443
-We can't.
-The house isn't selling.

86
00:04:35,526 --> 00:04:38,195
-Let's just take it off the market.
-No. No, Dean!

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,823
We were this close to figuring it out.
We had it!

88
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:43,868
No, we weren't!
We never had the first fucking clue!

89
00:04:45,745 --> 00:04:46,996
We're never gonna know.

90
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,874
We're never going to know.

91
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:57,131
It's like, some rando shoving strangers
in front of the train, that was us.

92
00:04:57,923 --> 00:05:00,801
It's just some random act of violence.

93
00:05:00,885 --> 00:05:01,719
That's all.

94
00:05:04,597 --> 00:05:06,640
We have to face it now, okay?

95
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:09,769
We face it and just get on with our lives.

96
00:05:12,355 --> 00:05:13,230
Okay?

97
00:05:14,523 --> 00:05:15,900
[phone vibrating]

98
00:05:20,196 --> 00:05:21,072
[knock on door]

99
00:05:22,365 --> 00:05:24,075
-What are you doing here?
-[Nora] Um…

100
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:27,119
-Oh, they're beautiful. Thank you.
-[Nora] Yeah.

101
00:05:27,203 --> 00:05:28,037
Hey.

102
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,747
Um… I hope you don't mind us coming.

103
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:33,459
Your daughter called to say things had
taken a turn for the worst, so…

104
00:05:34,251 --> 00:05:35,586
Yes, they, um…

105
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:38,422
They removed me from the trial.

106
00:05:39,006 --> 00:05:41,634
Some tests came back
and it's everywhere now.

107
00:05:41,717 --> 00:05:44,345
Jesus Christ. I'm sorry.

108
00:05:47,973 --> 00:05:53,229
Look, if there's anything…
anything you need, anything at all.

109
00:05:53,312 --> 00:05:54,355
Yeah.

110
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:58,359
Actually, yes.

111
00:05:58,442 --> 00:06:01,237
Yes, if you don't mind,

112
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,989
there's a bodega
right by the side door of this place.

113
00:06:04,073 --> 00:06:05,116
Yeah?

114
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:10,121
I would like an ice-cold Coca-Cola
and a pack of Parliament lights.

115
00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:13,207
Uh… I don't think you can smoke in here.

116
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:16,168
-I don't give the tiniest fuck.
-[Nora laughs]

117
00:06:16,252 --> 00:06:18,295
-You got it. Coming up.
-[Theodora] Yeah.

118
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:20,214
[sighs]

119
00:06:20,756 --> 00:06:22,049
-Come here.
-[pats bed]

120
00:06:23,259 --> 00:06:24,552
-May I?
-Yes.

121
00:06:25,678 --> 00:06:26,637
[Nora sniffles]

122
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:31,684
I can tell something's eating at you.

123
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:33,352
Oh, uh…

124
00:06:34,812 --> 00:06:38,274
Yeah. The house. It's not selling.

125
00:06:38,357 --> 00:06:40,609
What does that mean, another bankruptcy?

126
00:06:40,693 --> 00:06:44,947
No. I think, financially,
we're actually going to be okay.

127
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:47,450
My art's finally taken off.

128
00:06:48,159 --> 00:06:50,744
I have a sold-out show,
I have two more coming up.

129
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:53,622
Look at you, Ms. Nora Brannock.

130
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:57,251
It's…

131
00:06:58,210 --> 00:06:59,503
It's Dean.

132
00:06:59,587 --> 00:07:02,339
He's really… [inhales]
…really losing it.

133
00:07:02,423 --> 00:07:03,257
[sighs]

134
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:06,677
He's got the whole wall of suspects
back up again in the apartment.

135
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:10,806
I have seen that happen.

136
00:07:10,890 --> 00:07:14,268
A mystery you can't seem to solve,
it will drive you crazy.

137
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:17,062
It's the human condition.

138
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:21,192
That need to know.
Not knowing, that's the killer.

139
00:07:23,027 --> 00:07:24,153
[Dean exhales, laughs]

140
00:07:24,236 --> 00:07:25,529
[Theodora] My hero.

141
00:07:26,405 --> 00:07:28,115
-[Dean] Unpacked it for you.
-Oh, yeah?

142
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:29,033
[Dean] Yeah.

143
00:07:29,617 --> 00:07:31,035
Light me up, handsome.

144
00:07:31,619 --> 00:07:32,912
[lighter flicks]

145
00:07:36,165 --> 00:07:37,500
This was worth it, though.

146
00:07:37,583 --> 00:07:39,627
-[Nora laughs]
-[Theodora laughs]

147
00:07:47,718 --> 00:07:51,096
Dean! Hey, have you seen this? Page Six?

148
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,724
"New Twist in Murder House Mystery."

149
00:07:54,475 --> 00:07:55,351
Great.

150
00:07:55,935 --> 00:07:58,521
"Sources tell us that
a new round of threatening letters

151
00:07:58,604 --> 00:08:03,400
have thrown the veracity of the owners'
claims of harassment into serious doubt."

152
00:08:03,484 --> 00:08:07,196
"At least three letters from a so-called
'Watcher' were sent to neighbors,

153
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,616
each of whom was
once considered a suspect themselves."

154
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:12,243
"What else is suspicious?"

155
00:08:12,326 --> 00:08:16,956
"These new letters were mailed from
the lower Manhattan processing facility,

156
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:21,669
very near to where the current owners
of 657 have recently moved."

157
00:08:22,253 --> 00:08:26,257
"Signs that once pointed to harassment
now point to hoax."

158
00:08:26,924 --> 00:08:27,758
[scoffs]

159
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:31,720
Dean, did you send them those letters?

160
00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:35,724
-Maybe I did.
-[dramatic music playing]

161
00:08:35,808 --> 00:08:38,394
You're just making
everything so much worse.

162
00:08:38,477 --> 00:08:40,938
They don't deserve it?
A taste of their own medicine?

163
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,649
Okay, I'm not doing this.

164
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:45,859
I'm not doing that and I'm not doing this.

165
00:08:45,943 --> 00:08:47,570
Have I made myself totally clear?

166
00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:50,114
I'm going to figure out
who did this to us, okay?

167
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:52,449
I accept that, now.
You should do the same.

168
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:55,244
I am going to figure out
who ruined this family!

169
00:08:55,327 --> 00:08:59,123
It's you. You're the one who's
ruining this family by not letting go,

170
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:02,668
by losing any grip
on what's actually important!

171
00:09:05,212 --> 00:09:07,047
If you value being married to me,

172
00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:08,507
you will drive to Westfield

173
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:11,969
and you will apologize to
every single person you wrote a letter to.

174
00:09:12,469 --> 00:09:13,345
Do you hear me?

175
00:09:14,638 --> 00:09:15,723
I can't do that.

176
00:09:17,016 --> 00:09:21,228
I didn't ask whether or not you could.
I asked if you heard me.

177
00:09:21,854 --> 00:09:22,938
[piano music playing]

178
00:09:36,869 --> 00:09:38,454
-[Dean] Hey.
-Hey.

179
00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:40,831
You look nice.

180
00:09:42,124 --> 00:09:43,208
I'm going out.

181
00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:47,254
-Not gonna have dinner with the kids?
-No, you are.

182
00:09:47,338 --> 00:09:52,926
I'm going to be a normal person
and have drinks and dinner with Marjorie.

183
00:09:58,349 --> 00:09:59,725
Have you done what I asked?

184
00:10:00,726 --> 00:10:03,228
No, when was I supposed to do that?

185
00:10:04,021 --> 00:10:07,941
Okay. Well, I'd get on that if I were you.

186
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:13,864
[Carter] Mom, are you going out?

187
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,158
[Nora] Yeah, I'll come in
and kiss you good night.

188
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:17,159
[Ellie] Bye, Mom.

189
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:21,914
[door opens, closes]

190
00:10:21,997 --> 00:10:23,540
[phone vibrating]

191
00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:28,462
Hey.

192
00:10:30,631 --> 00:10:35,636
You can feel
however you like about this person,

193
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:39,473
but promise me you will not retaliate
against those around him?

194
00:10:40,599 --> 00:10:43,268
Yeah. Oh… Sure.

195
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:47,147
Dean, this is going to
be hard for you to hear.

196
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:50,401
Did you find out who did this?

197
00:10:51,652 --> 00:10:53,987
The previous owner of the house…

198
00:10:56,198 --> 00:10:57,408
was me.

199
00:10:58,283 --> 00:10:59,159
[scoffs]

200
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:02,037
What the fuck are you talking about?

201
00:11:02,121 --> 00:11:03,747
[Theodora] I sold you the house.

202
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,627
Why didn't you tell me that?

203
00:11:09,586 --> 00:11:11,004
Why do you think?

204
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:17,803
Because you're The Watcher? [gasps]

205
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:21,056
Let me tell you one last story.

206
00:11:22,141 --> 00:11:25,310
The day we met, I told you
about my husband, how he cheated,

207
00:11:25,394 --> 00:11:27,396
but once I found out who the woman was,

208
00:11:27,479 --> 00:11:31,233
once I knew,
he and I lived happily ever after.

209
00:11:32,735 --> 00:11:35,487
Well, that was true for several years,

210
00:11:35,571 --> 00:11:38,657
but we got divorced.

211
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:41,034
We just grew apart.

212
00:11:41,118 --> 00:11:47,332
And because I was the primary earner
and he was the parasite,

213
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:50,669
I had to pay alimony to him.

214
00:11:50,753 --> 00:11:53,297
So, I started gigging again.

215
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:57,384
I toured occasionally.
I still had my detective side hustle.

216
00:11:57,468 --> 00:12:00,429
And even though I gave him half my money,

217
00:12:00,512 --> 00:12:04,516
I was able to suck away a little nest egg.

218
00:12:11,815 --> 00:12:12,983
[Theodora grunts]

219
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,276
[lighter flicks]

220
00:12:18,614 --> 00:12:20,240
[inhales deeply]

221
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:25,454
Eight years ago, he had a stroke and died.

222
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:30,042
Suddenly, I wasn't
getting drained every month,

223
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:32,628
but I couldn't find a house.

224
00:12:32,711 --> 00:12:37,007
For five years I looked.
Nothing I really loved, you know?

225
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:42,346
I knew it the second I laid eyes on it.

226
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:46,391
Put an offer in on the spot.
Thirty days later, it was mine.

227
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,395
I even joined the Country Club.

228
00:12:52,523 --> 00:12:54,274
And that's when I got diagnosed.

229
00:12:55,943 --> 00:12:56,944
It had already spread.

230
00:12:57,027 --> 00:12:59,446
The doctors here said
there wasn't much they could do,

231
00:12:59,530 --> 00:13:04,743
but there was an oncologist in Mexico
who thought otherwise.

232
00:13:05,911 --> 00:13:09,748
But he was expensive, so I had no choice.

233
00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:11,458
I had to sell the house.

234
00:13:17,256 --> 00:13:21,760
I felt like it had all been
some kind of prank, you know?

235
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:28,100
Like I'd been given this taste
of paradise and it was all ripped away.

236
00:13:31,103 --> 00:13:32,479
[chuckles softly]

237
00:13:33,063 --> 00:13:37,025
And then, I shit you not,

238
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:42,614
I got a phone call from
a probate court in Sarasota, Florida.

239
00:13:43,699 --> 00:13:46,451
Turns out that my parasite,

240
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:50,789
from the early days of our relationship,

241
00:13:50,873 --> 00:13:52,040
had hidden away

242
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:56,545
$1.4 million in royalties.

243
00:13:57,296 --> 00:14:00,549
I hadn't needed to sell after all.

244
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:04,011
[car brakes]

245
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:06,597
[car door closes]

246
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,056
I could tell you loved it.

247
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:10,684
Almost as much as I did.

248
00:14:11,602 --> 00:14:16,023
I just had to do one thing
and I could get it back.

249
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:19,234
Convince us to sell.

250
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:23,947
[Theodora] See. I had gotten one of those
"Ode to a House" letters

251
00:14:24,031 --> 00:14:25,574
the first month I lived there.

252
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:33,832
[female student voice] Dear 657 Boulevard,

253
00:14:33,916 --> 00:14:38,795
can I just say I think you're just about
the most stately house I have ever seen.

254
00:14:39,713 --> 00:14:43,967
[Theodora] I was so charmed by it,
but I didn't know what it was.

255
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:47,012
So, I looked it up.

256
00:14:48,847 --> 00:14:52,643
I saw who Roger Kaplan was and all
the students who'd done the assignment.

257
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:55,228
And how much they loved him.

258
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:58,941
And I also saw The Watcher letter

259
00:14:59,024 --> 00:15:02,736
that Carol Flanagan posted,
accusing Roger of sending it.

260
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:06,073
I didn't think much of it.
Forgot about it, really.

261
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,492
But then I remembered.

262
00:15:09,076 --> 00:15:10,452
It was a perfect plan.

263
00:15:11,203 --> 00:15:16,792
I found a manual typewriter on eBay
with the same typeface as the letters.

264
00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:18,502
It wasn't hard at all.

265
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:22,798
Dearest new neighbor at 657 Boulevard.

266
00:15:24,132 --> 00:15:25,759
[typewriter clacking]

267
00:15:25,842 --> 00:15:29,513
Allow me to welcome you
to the neighborhood.

268
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:32,182
If you're telling the truth…

269
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:35,102
You…

270
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:38,689
You got away with it.
Why would you confess it to me now?

271
00:15:38,772 --> 00:15:40,691
They covered my tracks, Dean.

272
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:46,029
There was no way
you were ever gonna find out the truth

273
00:15:46,113 --> 00:15:48,323
and I knew that would drive you mad.

274
00:15:49,408 --> 00:15:50,784
And you don't deserve that.

275
00:15:51,994 --> 00:15:53,912
What about John Graff?

276
00:15:58,709 --> 00:16:00,377
Well, it was no coincidence that

277
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:04,381
I was the only person
to find evidence John Graff existed.

278
00:16:05,841 --> 00:16:08,635
Because he didn't. I made him up.

279
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:11,138
The hard evidence.

280
00:16:13,765 --> 00:16:17,811
I wrote those letters
he supposedly got from The Watcher.

281
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:19,813
The crime scene photos,

282
00:16:20,856 --> 00:16:23,775
they were from a murder in Colorado.

283
00:16:23,859 --> 00:16:27,904
And the guy you talked to
pretending to be John Graff,

284
00:16:29,156 --> 00:16:30,574
I hired him.

285
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:35,120
And pigtails?

286
00:16:37,164 --> 00:16:39,916
She was a performance artist,
if you can believe it.

287
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,255
I noticed when I was there in the daytime,
you never turned the alarm on.

288
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:49,926
So I had her dress up as a landscaper
and climb through the one window

289
00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:53,013
that Dakota's cameras
didn't cover so well.

290
00:16:53,722 --> 00:16:56,516
She hid in the basement
until you went to bed.

291
00:16:59,936 --> 00:17:02,773
I never knew about
the tunnels in the basement.

292
00:17:03,482 --> 00:17:06,485
When you mentioned finding them,
that was news to me.

293
00:17:06,568 --> 00:17:11,198
Maybe that was how Jasper got in
and took rides in the dumbwaiter,

294
00:17:11,281 --> 00:17:15,786
which I had nothing to do with,
by the way. That was all on him.

295
00:17:16,328 --> 00:17:17,746
[sirens wailing]

296
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:24,377
Andrew Pierce did live in the house,

297
00:17:25,128 --> 00:17:30,008
but he was a lunatic
and an addict and very suggestible.

298
00:17:30,092 --> 00:17:31,843
And here she is sucking on his finger.

299
00:17:31,927 --> 00:17:34,429
Does this mean that
he's gonna become a fucking vampire?

300
00:17:34,513 --> 00:17:40,310
Andrew, I want to talk about
the letters you and your wife received

301
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,437
from somebody named The Watcher.

302
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:44,898
What letters?

303
00:17:46,024 --> 00:17:49,111
What are you talking about?
I've never seen these before.

304
00:17:50,821 --> 00:17:51,655
[scoffs]

305
00:17:52,197 --> 00:17:56,076
The police found them at the scene
when your wife committed suicide.

306
00:17:56,159 --> 00:17:58,328
They were in her purse.
They never told you?

307
00:17:58,411 --> 00:17:59,329
No.

308
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:03,416
But it doesn't surprise me.

309
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:07,170
All of these cops… Westfield, NYPD,

310
00:18:07,254 --> 00:18:08,880
they all protect each other.

311
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:11,424
But, wait. Hold on. Um…

312
00:18:12,551 --> 00:18:14,302
So your wife never mentioned them, either?

313
00:18:14,386 --> 00:18:16,721
No, no, no. I… [inhales]

314
00:18:17,556 --> 00:18:19,975
[sighs] I mean, I don't think so.

315
00:18:20,058 --> 00:18:21,893
Wait, I do remember getting letters.

316
00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:26,731
But they weren't threatening letters.
They were…

317
00:18:27,649 --> 00:18:30,610
They were flattering.
They were flattering, I think.

318
00:18:30,694 --> 00:18:34,239
Did they begin with the phrase,
"Ode to a House"?

319
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:36,825
Yes. I remember now. Yes.

320
00:18:36,908 --> 00:18:38,368
-"Ode to a House."
-[slams table]

321
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:39,661
We got a bunch of those.

322
00:18:40,245 --> 00:18:42,080
[tense music playing]

323
00:18:46,751 --> 00:18:50,672
As for Mitch and Mo… Who knows?

324
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:54,676
Chamberland wasn't in on it.
Neither was Karen.

325
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,095
Neither of them knew
that I lived in the house,

326
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:58,930
or in Westfield, for that matter.

327
00:18:59,014 --> 00:18:59,848
[line rings]

328
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:01,725
Detective Chamberland.

329
00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:04,853
[Theodora] I called him up
the day I mailed the first letter,

330
00:19:04,936 --> 00:19:07,355
so that I would be fresh in his mind

331
00:19:07,439 --> 00:19:10,275
when the idea of
a private investigator came up.

332
00:19:10,358 --> 00:19:14,779
Theodora? Of course I remember you.
How the hell are you?

333
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:20,535
This was never about you, Dean.

334
00:19:22,704 --> 00:19:23,580
You're a…

335
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:27,042
You're a good man with a wonderful family.

336
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:31,087
It was about the house.

337
00:19:32,881 --> 00:19:35,926
It was such a good house.

338
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:41,598
[melancholy music playing]

339
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:54,736
[breath trembling]

340
00:19:55,487 --> 00:19:59,032
I don't understand.
I feel like I'm gonna puke.

341
00:19:59,616 --> 00:20:00,533
I know.

342
00:20:01,243 --> 00:20:05,080
We… We trusted her.
She was in our house.

343
00:20:05,163 --> 00:20:06,957
We shared everything with her.

344
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,209
[spluttering] And she was…

345
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,294
She was our friend.

346
00:20:11,378 --> 00:20:13,546
Hey, I know. [sighs]

347
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:15,382
Come here. I know, come here.

348
00:20:15,465 --> 00:20:18,218
-[Nora crying]
-I know.

349
00:20:19,177 --> 00:20:20,053
[knock at door]

350
00:20:21,596 --> 00:20:23,890
Hi. Come on in.

351
00:20:23,974 --> 00:20:25,350
[laughs] Okay.

352
00:20:29,938 --> 00:20:30,897
[Dean groans]

353
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:38,989
Look, I just want to say that
I'm sorry I sent you that letter

354
00:20:39,072 --> 00:20:40,782
and I'm pretty ashamed of myself.

355
00:20:42,325 --> 00:20:43,618
[scoffs] Who cares?

356
00:20:43,702 --> 00:20:46,037
No, no. It was a stupid thing to do. Okay?

357
00:20:46,121 --> 00:20:47,539
I can admit when I'm stupid.

358
00:20:48,081 --> 00:20:52,335
You know, the thing is that
I was really angry at everybody, really,

359
00:20:52,419 --> 00:20:54,170
but I had no idea about Mitch.

360
00:20:54,254 --> 00:20:57,173
Had I known, I swear to you,
I never would have sent that letter.

361
00:20:58,091 --> 00:20:58,925
Yeah.

362
00:21:01,845 --> 00:21:03,471
When your husband dies of an embolism

363
00:21:03,555 --> 00:21:06,725
and your son is in the loony bin
because he killed two people,

364
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:09,769
it kind of puts
everything into perspective.

365
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:12,897
So, why the change of heart?

366
00:21:13,481 --> 00:21:15,108
Well, because we know who did it now.

367
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:16,568
-What, the letters?
-Yeah.

368
00:21:16,651 --> 00:21:19,029
The letters, all the weird stuff. Uh…

369
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:24,409
It was that private investigator we hired,
Theodora Birch, your old neighbor.

370
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:25,952
Old neighbor where?

371
00:21:27,454 --> 00:21:30,123
Old neighbor here, at our house.

372
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:32,834
Theodora Birch. Gorgeous Black woman,

373
00:21:32,917 --> 00:21:36,087
wore gloves all the time,
was a member down at the Country Club.

374
00:21:36,171 --> 00:21:39,132
Had to sell the house
'cause she needed money for cancer--

375
00:21:39,215 --> 00:21:40,342
Hold on, hold on.

376
00:21:40,425 --> 00:21:44,095
Samantha and Ted Forrest,
that's who sold you your house.

377
00:21:45,221 --> 00:21:50,727
Older couple, extremely private.
We run into them down in St. Augustine.

378
00:21:51,686 --> 00:21:54,481
There was never
a black woman living there.

379
00:21:54,564 --> 00:21:57,233
Not in the 25 years
I've lived here, at least.

380
00:21:57,317 --> 00:21:59,819
And she was never a member
down at the Country Club.

381
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:04,491
I know all the people of color
who have memberships there

382
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:07,577
and, you know,
nobody should be proud of this…

383
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,037
There aren't too many.

384
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,748
So, a Theodora Birch?

385
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:14,626
No, I would have remembered that.

386
00:22:14,709 --> 00:22:16,252
[suspenseful music playing]

387
00:22:23,718 --> 00:22:26,721
[Nora] Hello, Nina. I'm so sorry.

388
00:22:26,805 --> 00:22:29,099
We're Dean and Nora Brannock.

389
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,142
-Hi.
-[Dean] Hi.

390
00:22:31,226 --> 00:22:32,727
Thank you so much for coming today.

391
00:22:32,811 --> 00:22:34,938
It's nice to meet you in person.

392
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:37,273
This must be Suvi. Hi, Suvi.

393
00:22:38,483 --> 00:22:40,860
Can you say hi? [chuckles]

394
00:22:41,444 --> 00:22:43,780
Your grandmother
spoke about you all the time.

395
00:22:44,322 --> 00:22:45,281
Aww.

396
00:22:45,365 --> 00:22:46,658
She loved grandma, huh?

397
00:22:50,495 --> 00:22:53,581
Look, um… I don't know how to say this,

398
00:22:53,665 --> 00:22:55,708
but did your mom…

399
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:57,794
Did she ever say anything about our case?

400
00:22:57,877 --> 00:22:59,629
Even just a little bit?

401
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:01,256
A little bit, yeah.

402
00:23:01,339 --> 00:23:03,508
This is gonna sound crazy, but your mom,

403
00:23:04,717 --> 00:23:07,303
she told me, very close to the end,

404
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:10,098
that it'd been her the whole time.

405
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:12,225
That she wrote the letters,

406
00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:14,436
that she owned the house before us.

407
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:18,022
Um… Yeah, that isn't true.

408
00:23:18,606 --> 00:23:19,482
What?

409
00:23:21,401 --> 00:23:24,696
The last couple of weeks before she died,
I saw her working on something.

410
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:27,240
It was almost like
she was writing a story,

411
00:23:27,323 --> 00:23:28,950
but she wouldn't let me read it.

412
00:23:29,868 --> 00:23:31,619
[whispers] One, two, three…

413
00:23:33,037 --> 00:23:35,540
[both roaring]

414
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:36,624
[Suvi giggles]

415
00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:38,251
And then finally she said…

416
00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:41,963
Fine. I'll tell you the truth.

417
00:23:42,714 --> 00:23:43,548
Okay.

418
00:23:45,842 --> 00:23:48,928
She said she wanted to
give you two some peace.

419
00:23:50,096 --> 00:23:51,681
I think she wanted peace, too.

420
00:23:52,348 --> 00:23:54,601
She didn't want
her last case to go unsolved.

421
00:23:55,685 --> 00:23:58,188
She wanted to know
the end of the story, so she…

422
00:24:00,064 --> 00:24:01,483
She wrote herself into it.

423
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:07,238
[sighs]

424
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:12,827
Yeah, okay. So, what is it?

425
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,707
Okay. Um…

426
00:24:20,001 --> 00:24:20,835
Right.

427
00:24:22,754 --> 00:24:24,005
[sighs] Yeah.

428
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:26,799
Well, I'll have to talk to him.

429
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:28,968
What, all of it? Or…

430
00:24:29,511 --> 00:24:30,345
[Dean] We're home!

431
00:24:30,428 --> 00:24:33,765
-Just easy, please. Someone has news.
-They're right here. What?

432
00:24:33,848 --> 00:24:35,850
-I made the basketball team!
-Oh, my God!

433
00:24:35,934 --> 00:24:37,018
What? How did that happen?

434
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:39,562
-One second.
-Hey. How about, "Congratulations"?

435
00:24:39,646 --> 00:24:41,773
No, I just… I mean, he's so short.

436
00:24:41,856 --> 00:24:44,359
-I'll play point guard.
-Good answer. There you go.

437
00:24:44,442 --> 00:24:46,152
[Nora] That sounds good. Call you back.

438
00:24:46,236 --> 00:24:48,446
-What are you doing?
-[Nora] Give me five minutes.

439
00:24:48,530 --> 00:24:49,489
Thank you.

440
00:24:50,114 --> 00:24:51,908
-How about Spud Webb over here?
-What!

441
00:24:51,991 --> 00:24:53,451
Oh, my God!

442
00:24:53,535 --> 00:24:55,537
-I'm so proud of you.
-[Dean] Yeah.

443
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:58,373
And I have some news.

444
00:24:58,957 --> 00:25:00,166
We have an offer.

445
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:03,336
All cash, no contingency,
they really want it.

446
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,089
-What's the number?
-275.

447
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:07,757
I know, not amazing,

448
00:25:08,591 --> 00:25:11,427
but Bruce thinks
with some of the furniture thrown in,

449
00:25:11,511 --> 00:25:13,263
we can make another 125, 150.

450
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:14,597
And who's the buyer?

451
00:25:15,473 --> 00:25:17,767
I don't know. It's an LLC.

452
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:19,352
Right. Of course.

453
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:22,313
Yeah. And get this.
The one thing they want to change,

454
00:25:22,397 --> 00:25:23,273
the kitchen.

455
00:25:23,356 --> 00:25:25,191
-What? Are you kidding me?
-Mm-hmm.

456
00:25:25,275 --> 00:25:27,652
I guess not everybody's into
butcher block countertops.

457
00:25:27,735 --> 00:25:29,988
Hey, come on. These people have no taste.

458
00:25:30,071 --> 00:25:32,156
-Touche!
-All right, Brannock family.

459
00:25:33,283 --> 00:25:34,784
What do we say, huh?

460
00:25:38,162 --> 00:25:39,289
I say yes.

461
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:40,498
I say yes.

462
00:25:43,376 --> 00:25:44,794
-Yes.
-Yes.

463
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,462
-Yes!
-[all] Yes!

464
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:50,550
[Pearl] It's my great pleasure
to call this meeting of the new,

465
00:25:50,633 --> 00:25:54,470
expanded Westfield Preservation Society.

466
00:25:57,223 --> 00:26:01,811
Yes, and now we could
all just introduce ourselves? Mo?

467
00:26:02,395 --> 00:26:03,438
Oh, me? [chuckles]

468
00:26:04,939 --> 00:26:10,236
Okay. Hi, I'm Maureen.
My friends call me Big Mo.

469
00:26:11,321 --> 00:26:15,700
I live right down the street there
and I'm recently widowed, sadly.

470
00:26:15,783 --> 00:26:19,120
So I'm very grateful to Pearl
for including me.

471
00:26:19,704 --> 00:26:21,956
You know what they say, idle hands.

472
00:26:22,540 --> 00:26:23,541
[chuckling]

473
00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:30,673
Uh, hi, there. I'm Roger Kaplan and, gosh,

474
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:35,720
I have loved old homes
since I was a little boy,

475
00:26:36,554 --> 00:26:38,139
and I'm very happy to be here.

476
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:40,850
And we're very happy to have you here.

477
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:44,312
Um… And I'm Pearl Winslow, of course.

478
00:26:44,395 --> 00:26:47,607
And this is Jasper, our secretary.

479
00:26:47,690 --> 00:26:50,568
And… William?

480
00:26:52,987 --> 00:26:59,077
Oh, uh… Hello. I'm William Webster.
I sometimes go by Bill.

481
00:26:59,786 --> 00:27:05,083
I first moved to Westfield around 1995.

482
00:27:05,166 --> 00:27:06,959
1995?

483
00:27:07,043 --> 00:27:08,503
Yes, well, I'm just, uh…

484
00:27:10,838 --> 00:27:14,967
I'm very interested in keeping
this town the way that it ought to be.

485
00:27:15,593 --> 00:27:16,427
So…

486
00:27:18,346 --> 00:27:19,514
Thank you.

487
00:27:19,597 --> 00:27:21,099
[Roger] Your name is Bill?

488
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:24,102
Ah… You look very familiar to me.

489
00:27:24,185 --> 00:27:25,395
Oh.

490
00:27:25,478 --> 00:27:30,024
Well, Bill works in the public library,
so you probably recognize him from there.

491
00:27:31,859 --> 00:27:34,529
Oh, I think I know
where I recognize you from.

492
00:27:34,612 --> 00:27:37,990
I think you know me
from the public library.

493
00:27:39,575 --> 00:27:41,077
How's your family, Bill?

494
00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:48,126
[exclaims, chuckles]

495
00:27:48,209 --> 00:27:50,253
There's a new owner next door.

496
00:27:50,336 --> 00:27:52,588
There is a new owner next door.
Thank you, Jasper.

497
00:27:52,672 --> 00:27:55,758
Jasper, why don't you
tell us what you think you saw.

498
00:27:55,842 --> 00:27:57,844
Big slabs of…

499
00:28:00,096 --> 00:28:02,432
pink marble going in the kitchen.

500
00:28:03,015 --> 00:28:08,020
[chuckles] Pink marble.
I never even knew there was such a thing.

501
00:28:08,104 --> 00:28:12,150
Well, it's a big step up
from that butcher block, don't you think?

502
00:28:12,233 --> 00:28:13,651
-Yeah.
-[Pearl] Right?

503
00:28:13,735 --> 00:28:14,569
[Pearl chuckles]

504
00:28:14,652 --> 00:28:16,279
[Roger] Listen, sorry, if I may,

505
00:28:16,362 --> 00:28:19,866
I understand the need for preserving,

506
00:28:20,366 --> 00:28:23,536
um, the facades of historic buildings,

507
00:28:23,619 --> 00:28:28,875
but do we have jurisdiction over the way
that people design their interiors?

508
00:28:29,542 --> 00:28:33,087
Well, um… Not officially,

509
00:28:34,297 --> 00:28:38,843
but we do make
very strong recommendations.

510
00:28:38,926 --> 00:28:43,556
And what would we feel would be
the appropriate countertop material

511
00:28:43,639 --> 00:28:46,100
to be used in the kitchen like the one in…

512
00:28:46,184 --> 00:28:47,059
657.

513
00:28:47,143 --> 00:28:49,479
Yeah, 657.

514
00:28:49,562 --> 00:28:50,605
As a matter of fact,

515
00:28:51,689 --> 00:28:55,026
I've actually been in the house
many, many years ago.

516
00:28:55,109 --> 00:28:58,321
I do remember that
the countertops were original.

517
00:28:58,404 --> 00:29:01,949
They were polished black walnut,

518
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:03,618
if you can believe that,

519
00:29:03,701 --> 00:29:07,830
which would have been very common
in a Victorian built around 1920.

520
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:12,168
That is very helpful. Thank you.

521
00:29:13,503 --> 00:29:18,758
Jasper, polished black walnut.
Write that down.

522
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:26,349
[Georgia] Follow me.
Keep going, keep going, and…

523
00:29:26,432 --> 00:29:27,600
Open your eyes.

524
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:33,898
[Karen] Oh, Georgia. Oh, my God.

525
00:29:35,233 --> 00:29:37,860
I think you've really captured me.

526
00:29:40,404 --> 00:29:42,949
I think I'm going to be really happy here.

527
00:29:45,326 --> 00:29:46,661
-Thank you so much.
-Of course.

528
00:29:46,744 --> 00:29:48,329
-We'll talk tomorrow.
-[Georgia] Yes!

529
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:49,789
[Karen] All right, bye-bye.

530
00:29:51,082 --> 00:29:52,208
Oh, wow.

531
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:53,125
[sighs]

532
00:29:55,711 --> 00:29:57,004
Wow. Hey, guys.

533
00:29:57,088 --> 00:30:00,591
[exclaims] Wow, this is so curated.

534
00:30:00,675 --> 00:30:03,553
Wow, nice. Thank you.

535
00:30:03,636 --> 00:30:04,887
It's so me, you know.

536
00:30:04,971 --> 00:30:09,600
Wow. A single girl
taking care of herself. [chuckles]

537
00:30:10,476 --> 00:30:12,812
Thank you. See you tomorrow.

538
00:30:16,816 --> 00:30:19,402
[door opens, closes]

539
00:30:20,862 --> 00:30:22,572
[dramatic music playing]

540
00:30:27,869 --> 00:30:29,829
I thought this moment
might happen one day.

541
00:30:30,872 --> 00:30:32,456
Can I get you something to drink?

542
00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:35,084
How about some chilled Whispering Angel?

543
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:37,211
I've got Snapple.

544
00:30:37,295 --> 00:30:40,590
I've got a fridge just stocked full of…
Oh, my God…

545
00:30:41,841 --> 00:30:42,758
everything.

546
00:30:47,847 --> 00:30:48,723
[exhales]

547
00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:57,023
So, it was you all this time.

548
00:30:58,357 --> 00:30:59,483
[exhales sharply]

549
00:30:59,567 --> 00:31:02,028
It's kind of obvious looking back, but…

550
00:31:04,447 --> 00:31:07,867
Always pushing us to sell the house.

551
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:10,453
It was me, what?

552
00:31:11,037 --> 00:31:14,123
Are we really going to
go down that road again, Nora?

553
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:15,291
You did this.

554
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:19,754
You're the one who made the big stink
about some dumbass letters,

555
00:31:19,837 --> 00:31:21,213
that weren't even scary.

556
00:31:21,297 --> 00:31:22,924
And then your… Oh, my God.

557
00:31:23,007 --> 00:31:26,510
Someone, like, stepped on
your son's pet beaver or muskrat,

558
00:31:26,594 --> 00:31:27,803
whatever the fuck it was.

559
00:31:27,887 --> 00:31:31,390
You're the one that tanked
your own house's resale value.

560
00:31:31,474 --> 00:31:32,308
That's right, Nora.

561
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:36,604
I snatched up your fucking house!
Because it's good business!

562
00:31:38,773 --> 00:31:42,109
You and Chamberland
wanted it for yourselves, didn't you?

563
00:31:42,193 --> 00:31:44,445
He's who we saw down in the tunnels.

564
00:31:44,528 --> 00:31:45,446
[chuckles softly]

565
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:49,116
Please. We dated for a hot minute
and then we broke up.

566
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,871
I'm sorry I'm living your best life, Nora.

567
00:31:54,455 --> 00:31:57,124
But that's not my fault. It's yours.

568
00:31:59,502 --> 00:32:02,004
And now I want to
say something to your face.

569
00:32:02,755 --> 00:32:05,967
Get the fuck out of my house.

570
00:32:10,179 --> 00:32:14,350
You know, I have a feeling
that things just aren't going to go

571
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:16,018
the way you want them to.

572
00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:19,897
So I'd be careful.

573
00:32:28,364 --> 00:32:29,824
What, are you threatening me?

574
00:32:31,951 --> 00:32:33,160
No…

575
00:32:35,663 --> 00:32:37,081
but I will be watching.

576
00:32:49,927 --> 00:32:51,846
[doorbell rings]

577
00:32:52,513 --> 00:32:53,347
[Pearl] Hello!

578
00:32:53,431 --> 00:32:56,517
Hi! We're your new neighbors.

579
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,062
We just wanted to come by
and introduce ourselves.

580
00:33:00,146 --> 00:33:03,274
I'm Pearl, and I think you know Maureen.

581
00:33:03,357 --> 00:33:07,153
Hi, I'm Karen Calhoun.
So nice to meet you.

582
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:08,738
And this is little Baron.

583
00:33:08,821 --> 00:33:10,698
-Oh… [chuckles]
-Oh, a dog.

584
00:33:11,532 --> 00:33:13,701
Well, we couldn't
agree on what to make you,

585
00:33:13,784 --> 00:33:17,079
so I did my famous caramel swirl blondies.

586
00:33:17,163 --> 00:33:19,331
They actually keep
very well in the freezer.

587
00:33:19,415 --> 00:33:23,878
And I made a classic English walnut pie,
if you can believe it.

588
00:33:23,961 --> 00:33:24,879
[chuckles]

589
00:33:24,962 --> 00:33:26,213
Okay, here, you get down.

590
00:33:26,297 --> 00:33:28,049
You go on. Go find your squiggle.

591
00:33:28,674 --> 00:33:29,717
Yeah, go find it.

592
00:33:30,301 --> 00:33:31,469
Uh…

593
00:33:31,552 --> 00:33:33,179
Uh, listen, ladies, um…

594
00:33:33,262 --> 00:33:37,975
Right now I happen to be doing keto,
so I'm not going to take those.

595
00:33:38,059 --> 00:33:40,728
-Oh!
-But I think you both should enjoy them.

596
00:33:42,021 --> 00:33:42,897
Okay.

597
00:33:45,441 --> 00:33:46,400
Gosh.

598
00:33:46,484 --> 00:33:47,401
[door slams]

599
00:33:49,904 --> 00:33:54,825
[beeping] K-A-R-E-N. Karen.

600
00:33:55,659 --> 00:33:56,577

601
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:58,412
[line ringing]

602
00:34:01,999 --> 00:34:03,334
Is that the land line?

603
00:34:05,628 --> 00:34:06,962
[ringing continues]

604
00:34:20,935 --> 00:34:21,811
Hello?

605
00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:26,190
[static on phone]

606
00:34:26,273 --> 00:34:27,108
Hello?

607
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:32,238
Hello?

608
00:34:38,786 --> 00:34:40,454
[water running]

609
00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:42,832
What the hell?

610
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:57,012
[water dripping]

611
00:35:00,808 --> 00:35:03,978
No, no, no!

612
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:08,399
Oh, my God.

613
00:35:10,693 --> 00:35:12,153
[screams]

614
00:35:12,736 --> 00:35:14,113
Oh, my God!

615
00:35:14,655 --> 00:35:16,115
Shit!

616
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:19,493
Oh, you fucking bitch!

617
00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:21,787
[phone vibrating]

618
00:35:25,207 --> 00:35:26,041
[phone beeps]

619
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:27,042
[sighs] Hello.

620
00:35:27,126 --> 00:35:28,752
Hi. How are you doing?

621
00:35:28,836 --> 00:35:30,337
Why are you calling me, Karen?

622
00:35:30,421 --> 00:35:33,340
Well, I was wondering if you could come by

623
00:35:33,424 --> 00:35:37,803
or you could send somebody to come
and, you know, check out the house.

624
00:35:37,887 --> 00:35:39,680
I think someone could be in here

625
00:35:40,389 --> 00:35:41,307
and I just…

626
00:35:41,974 --> 00:35:42,808
I…

627
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:45,728
I think maybe it's Nora.

628
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:47,354
[scoffs] What?

629
00:35:47,438 --> 00:35:49,398
Maybe you could sweep the house,

630
00:35:49,899 --> 00:35:52,234
you know,
and just see if anyone was in here.

631
00:35:52,318 --> 00:35:55,196
Oh, no, no, no.
That's not happening. [scoffs]

632
00:35:55,279 --> 00:35:58,407
No, I'm not coming over
and I'm not sending anybody over.

633
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:01,535
I don't like being made
to feel ashamed for having ED.

634
00:36:01,619 --> 00:36:04,163
-What?
-You and me, we're not friends.

635
00:36:04,246 --> 00:36:07,166
Not after how it ended.
And, you know, I got a lot of friends

636
00:36:07,249 --> 00:36:09,543
and they're not happy
with the way you acted either.

637
00:36:09,627 --> 00:36:12,254
Don't even bother calling 9-1-1. Okay?

638
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:14,840
Because you said
you wanted to be on your own

639
00:36:14,924 --> 00:36:17,259
-and that's what you're gonna get.
-[ends call]

640
00:36:17,343 --> 00:36:18,594
Wait.

641
00:36:18,677 --> 00:36:20,846
[panting] Oh, fuck.

642
00:36:20,930 --> 00:36:22,806

[barking intensifies]

644
00:36:29,063 --> 00:36:30,314
Baron, sweetie?

645
00:36:33,651 --> 00:36:35,069
What are you barking at?

646
00:36:36,362 --> 00:36:37,446
Hey. Baron.

647
00:36:40,115 --> 00:36:41,200
[barking continues]

648
00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:51,752
Okay.

649
00:36:54,838 --> 00:36:55,923
What the fuck?

650
00:36:58,092 --> 00:37:00,094
Baron, did someone come through here?

651
00:37:02,012 --> 00:37:03,639
[breathing heavily]

652
00:37:05,766 --> 00:37:06,600
Oh, shit.

653
00:37:11,855 --> 00:37:13,065
[dog whimpering]

654
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:18,362
Baron. Come. Come on.

655
00:37:18,445 --> 00:37:20,948
Baron, come. Come on, yeah.

656
00:37:21,031 --> 00:37:22,116
Come. Good boy.

657
00:37:28,289 --> 00:37:31,834
So, you guys are gonna come,
like, first thing in the morning, right?

658
00:37:31,917 --> 00:37:34,712
[man] Yeah,
we should be there 6:30-ish, 6:45.

659
00:37:34,795 --> 00:37:39,091
[Karen] Okay, great.
My main issue really is the black mold.

660
00:37:39,174 --> 00:37:41,969
[man] Yeah, we bring in
dehumidifiers. The whole thing.

661
00:37:42,052 --> 00:37:45,431
[Karen] Oh, good. Thanks. Good night!

[breathing heavily]

667
00:39:38,168 --> 00:39:42,381
[The Watcher] Dear Ms. Calhoun,
welcome to your nightmare!

668
00:39:42,464 --> 00:39:45,134
Your reputation precedes you.

669
00:39:45,217 --> 00:39:48,429
657 has been calling for some time now.

670
00:39:49,054 --> 00:39:50,806
When did you first hear it?

671
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:53,142
I heard the house first call to me.

672
00:39:53,225 --> 00:39:55,686
It asked me to bring it people like you,

673
00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:58,772
those who put greed before anything else.

674
00:39:58,856 --> 00:40:00,607
[breathing heavily]

675
00:40:00,691 --> 00:40:02,443
[suspenseful music playing]

676
00:40:05,863 --> 00:40:08,490
This won't be the last
you'll hear from me.

677
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:12,953
I wish to only congratulate you
on your magnificent new home.

678
00:40:14,121 --> 00:40:15,330

[alarm sounding]

682
00:40:30,596 --> 00:40:34,308
[The Watcher] And I know our friendship
will grow and grow with time.

683
00:40:34,391 --> 00:40:37,144
I can't wait to know everything about you.

684
00:40:37,227 --> 00:40:42,691
There are so many secrets inside 657
that you are bound to discover.

685
00:40:42,774 --> 00:40:45,027
I look forward to sharing them with you.

686
00:40:45,611 --> 00:40:47,404
I am The Watcher.

687
00:40:50,908 --> 00:40:54,661
Sorry about the past couple of weeks.
I keep getting my days screwed up.

688
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:57,748
Not a problem. How are you feeling?

689
00:40:58,957 --> 00:41:01,084
Yeah, good. Good.

690
00:41:01,168 --> 00:41:03,504
You know, I feel like I'm finally…

691
00:41:03,587 --> 00:41:06,298
Actually, the whole family…

692
00:41:06,381 --> 00:41:10,219
I feel like we have finally moved on.

693
00:41:10,302 --> 00:41:12,179
-That's really good to hear.
-Yeah.

694
00:41:13,222 --> 00:41:14,723
Carter is doing great.

695
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:16,099

00:41:16,183 --> 00:41:18,894
Ellie is on this kick now
about wanting to go to Brown,

697
00:41:18,977 --> 00:41:21,647
so, we're heading up there
next week for a visit.

698
00:41:21,730 --> 00:41:22,940
-Wow.
-[Dean] Yeah, right?

699
00:41:23,857 --> 00:41:25,317
I mean, if you'd have told me

700
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,528
that I'd have a kid
who might be going to an Ivy,

701
00:41:27,611 --> 00:41:32,074
I'd be like,
"No, that's some kind of clerical error."

702
00:41:32,824 --> 00:41:33,700
And Nora?

703
00:41:34,618 --> 00:41:38,288
Oh, well, she had another show
last Friday. It's unbelievable.

704
00:41:38,372 --> 00:41:41,875
She… She's like…
Look, I mean, I'm not in that world,

705
00:41:41,959 --> 00:41:45,295
but, evidently, she is the hot new thing.

706
00:41:45,379 --> 00:41:46,713
So, that's awesome.

707
00:41:47,881 --> 00:41:51,009
And how are you and Nora?
Your relationship?

708
00:41:51,802 --> 00:41:53,720
Yeah, we're good. We're good.

709
00:41:53,804 --> 00:41:55,180
We're through it, I think.

710
00:41:56,098 --> 00:41:59,351
It was definitely a hard year, right?

711
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:03,438
But we've moved on,
you know, from the house,

712
00:42:03,522 --> 00:42:07,067
from all of that stuff. That's behind us.

713
00:42:07,150 --> 00:42:10,904
Speaking of, Karen had to sell.

714
00:42:11,738 --> 00:42:14,157
I mean,
something must have gone down, right?

715
00:42:14,241 --> 00:42:17,202
Because she was
only in that house for, what, 48 hours?

716
00:42:17,744 --> 00:42:19,830
Maybe she flipped it, but, I don't know.

717
00:42:19,913 --> 00:42:20,872
If that was the plan,

718
00:42:20,956 --> 00:42:24,084
she did a terrible job of reading
the market because she sold it.

719
00:42:24,167 --> 00:42:27,129
Guess… Guess how much. Seriously, guess.

720
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:28,964
-Um…
-2.6.

721
00:42:31,008 --> 00:42:32,175
2.6!

722
00:42:32,926 --> 00:42:34,344
She fucking lost her shirt.

723
00:42:34,428 --> 00:42:36,263
I don't know who bought it,
but whoever did,

724
00:42:36,346 --> 00:42:38,765
they got the deal
of the century, man. [chuckles]

725
00:42:39,683 --> 00:42:41,560
You're talking about the house again.

726
00:42:43,645 --> 00:42:45,647
Yeah, well, you asked about it.

727
00:42:46,231 --> 00:42:48,108
No, I didn't.

728
00:42:56,533 --> 00:42:58,076
I can't let it go.

729
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:01,121
I can't just get over it.

730
00:43:04,166 --> 00:43:07,044
I feel like somebody played
a fucking practical joke on us

731
00:43:07,127 --> 00:43:09,212
and I'm never gonna know why they did it.

732
00:43:09,296 --> 00:43:12,924
At this point, I can't even
tell you how they did it, but they did.

733
00:43:16,261 --> 00:43:19,931
And I'm supposed to just… get over it?

734
00:43:20,015 --> 00:43:21,433
I don't know how to do that.

735
00:43:24,061 --> 00:43:25,687
So I gotta keep on…

736
00:43:25,771 --> 00:43:26,980
I keep on trying to…

737
00:43:28,398 --> 00:43:30,442
make this story have a happy ending,

738
00:43:31,985 --> 00:43:33,153
but it's not going to.

739
00:43:34,404 --> 00:43:37,282
Five minutes ago,
when you were talking about your family,

740
00:43:37,783 --> 00:43:40,077
that did sound like a happy ending.

741
00:43:40,661 --> 00:43:42,788
But that's not how it feels to you, is it?

742
00:43:44,456 --> 00:43:47,167

[wood chopping]

746
00:44:32,629 --> 00:44:34,131
[Pearl] Hey, Jasper!

747
00:44:34,214 --> 00:44:35,674
Jasper, come here.

748
00:44:36,925 --> 00:44:39,010
Come on. Come on, let's go.

749
00:44:39,094 --> 00:44:40,804
Come on.

750
00:44:49,563 --> 00:44:50,647
[sniffling]

751
00:45:15,505 --> 00:45:17,048
[indistinct chatter, laughter]

752
00:45:23,722 --> 00:45:25,474
Oh, good catch!

753
00:45:30,562 --> 00:45:31,646
[man] Can I help you?

754
00:45:35,108 --> 00:45:35,942
[exhales]

755
00:45:36,651 --> 00:45:37,611
No, I'm just…

756
00:45:39,070 --> 00:45:40,363
A beautiful house.

757
00:45:41,281 --> 00:45:43,909
Thanks. Just moved in.

758
00:45:43,992 --> 00:45:47,037
Is that right? Congratulations.

759
00:45:48,538 --> 00:45:49,372
Ben.

760
00:45:50,290 --> 00:45:51,124
Ben?

761
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:53,835
John.

762
00:45:53,919 --> 00:45:56,755
It's nice to meet you, John.
You live in the area, or…

763
00:45:57,380 --> 00:46:00,091
Yeah, just a few blocks that way.

764
00:46:00,175 --> 00:46:01,009
Cool.

765
00:46:03,094 --> 00:46:04,179
See you around, then?

766
00:46:08,725 --> 00:46:09,684
Definitely.

767

[phone beeps]

771
00:46:50,767 --> 00:46:51,601
Hi.

772
00:46:52,435 --> 00:46:53,562
[Nora] Hey, where are you?

773
00:46:53,645 --> 00:46:56,398
Uh… Just stuck in traffic.

774
00:46:57,774 --> 00:47:00,694
Holland Tunnel's backed up,
I'm in this long line.

775
00:47:03,947 --> 00:47:05,490
[Nora] How was the interview?

776
00:47:07,367 --> 00:47:10,370
You know, it was good. We'll see.

777
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:14,291
[Nora] Hey, babe. Um…

778
00:47:15,375 --> 00:47:17,752
I know I probably haven't
said this enough, but…

779
00:47:18,587 --> 00:47:19,462
just…

780
00:47:20,714 --> 00:47:24,050
I really, really appreciate
all the work you're doing.

781
00:47:25,051 --> 00:47:26,428
Therapy and everything. I…

782
00:47:27,929 --> 00:47:29,806
It just makes such a difference.

783
00:47:32,058 --> 00:47:34,811
I'm really happy.
I just hope you are, too.

784
00:47:38,607 --> 00:47:39,566
Yeah, thanks.

785
00:47:42,152 --> 00:47:43,194
I am happy.

786
00:47:45,238 --> 00:47:46,656
[Nora] I love you so much.

787
00:47:50,452 --> 00:47:51,494
I love you, too.

788
00:47:54,205 --> 00:47:55,206
Home soon.
