No, they won't. For your troubles. Tell Happy I'll send his mom some tomatoes. Family meeting inside! Luther, Vandross! Come on, killer. I said now! That one there, she makes Gemma look like Donna Reed. I'm suddenly I'm feeling a little less dysfunctional. Hi. Sorry to barge in. In the middle of something? No. Just finished surgery. Just paperwork. I came by earlier. Yeah, Margaret mentioned that. Yeah, I'm sure she did. This fell out of one of Abel's coloring books. You have any idea where he might've found it? What is it? A note... talks about some letters. Letters to whom? You hiding something from me? Why would I do that? Same reason you keep answering my questions with questions. Sounds like you already know the answers. No... I don't.
What I do know is that letters from John Teller would be a very painful for my son to read. Why? John was in love with Maureen Ashby. When we were in Belfast, found out she had a kid with him. Stirred up all that old shit. I had already fallen in love with Clay. When Thomas died... I didn't care anymore. I didn't even try to hide it. That was a mistake. Put Clay at risk... it was humiliating for JT. Jax doesn't know any of that. Him finding out could set things off with Clay again. John ripped me apart. Spent months at a time in Belfast with her. Left me here. Alone. With his sons. Sorry. I loved him. Like you and Jax. I was 19. He was my goddamn world. This ain't good for anybody. You understand me? Wherever this leads, this is bad for our family. Alright, here you go. So what's going on? Hey, I just wanna have a conversation, that's all.
You can do that with my lawyer. Oh, you don't need your lawyer. I don't give a shit about the weed, man. Please, sit down. So why'd you pick me up? This is me and my father, fishing at Rockaway Beach. Huh? Now, you grew up in Queens, right? Nobody fished at Rockaway. Not unless you wanted to fry up beer bottles and syringes. That ain't Queens. What's the game here, man? You ever see your father? No. I can arrange that. Michael Howard Cole. It's your daddy, Juan Carlos. By your silence, I'm assuming that you already knew. I knew who he was. I never met him. Now, I don't know if you can tell by this picture, but, um... he's black. Like, African black. Yeah. I picked that up. Yeah. I don't know, you tell me. What would the club do if they found out that you were black? Hm? You don't know? Let me break it down for you.
Well, first they'll pull your patch, then they make you scrape the ink, then, if you're lucky enough, you'll walk out alive. As far as SAMCRO is concerned, you never even existed. So much for Affirmative Action. You don't know dick about my club. Yeah, you're right. About Dick, nothing. But Leroy? Everything. Enjoy your day. So what happens now? We go back home to our families. I'll stay in touch, brother. Mexican for lunch? Yeah, something like that. What's going on? I was hoping you could tell me. He listens to you. Who? Clay? You know, he is getting us involved in some very deep shit. What are you talking about? Your old man wants us running drugs for the cartel. And all those other drones at the table, they're gonna follow him right down to that last little crumb. Talk some sense into him, Gemma. You guys are running coke for the Mexicans? What? Who told you that? Not you. You don't need to know. Drugs are not what we do...
You don't tell me what we do. Everything okay? Yeah. Let's just get this done. Hey. You really think that we can handle the drug end of this? I know we can. Getting as cocky as Clay, too. That's not a bad thing, man. You came out harder. Looking like a guy who can lead a club. That bullshit today, you handled it, man. Thanks. You got my vote and Miles. But when we're done with the cartel and Clay is gone, it's you and me sitting at the head of that table. Get this back to the way it should be. You good with that? You've all had time to think on this. Yea or nay: We get in business with the Galindo Cartel. Yea. Yea. I don't trust 'em. No. Yea. I'm a yea. Nay. Nay. No. I'm sorry.
I'm a no. Backing my Prez and VP. Yea. Yea. Six-five. It passes. You ever try to end run me through my old lady again, I'll slit your throat. Will you look at us here by the river?

Come on! Come on, Sam. Wakey-wakey, hands off snakey. Bloody Wilson will be here in a sec and he'll go through you like a dose of salts, mate. All that bird poo out there just waiting for us. Not today. What are you talking about? Special work this, cob - shovelling shit for the war effort. Where's your sense of king and country? Not today. You crook, or something? Shifty shadow. Shift me what? I can feel it, a shifty shadow. Lady luck, mate. The hairy hand of God. Not this stuff again. Mate, I can feel it on you. Best just... lie in here till it blows over, see what happens. Tell you what'll happen, you silly prick, you'll get sacked. What about the missus and kids, then, huh? Sam? You're in enough strife already, mate. Can't be helped. Come on, now, bugger. You can't fight the shifty shadow. Nob, you can't beat bad luck. Well, I'm off for brekkie, then. Pickles!
Yep. Get your lazy arse out of bed or get another job! You mad bastard. Give 'em shit, ladies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you dingo. That fuckin' Wilson, eh? Never off your back, is he? Pickles this, Pickles that. Bet I'm gonna wake up one day and find you've murdered the bastard in his sleep, not that anyone would blame you, eh? Aarggh! Fuckin' what did I tell you? Get off! Man, he's gonna wish he was never born. Poor luckless bastard. VVhoo-hoo! Its freezing! Get off me. Go, go, go now! Go get the ladder. And hurry up. Hurry up. We've got him. Down. Clear the bar. Got the rope down, boys. Just clear the heads. Lucky they sewed them back. My arithmetic's not too good. Your working hand. Well, Rose, now your old man's a mollydooker.
Dad. We'll be right, darling. Our luck will change. Yeah. Go get your mum. Go on. You're back early. - Yep. Re-routed five minutes up - medical evac. How long have I got you for? 40 minutes. The guy was a real mess. Poor luckless bastard. Quit yakking and make yourself useful. Honey, your old man don't know what he's missing. Shut up about him, eh? Goddamn, but you're loyal - staying for the kid's sake, working the bar despite everything. I guess I admire that. That's what keeps you coming back, eh? Admiration of a woman's loyalty? Bloody Yanks with all your fine talking. It's like you said, Doll, at least we say something, huh? Mum! Mum? What, love? I'm getting dressed. You better come quick, it's Dad. He's back already? In the hospital- his hand. Oh, Jesus, him?

There's nothing there. Nothing here. Nothing at all. It's just a cruel joke, all of it. Come on, Orry, we...we'll... No. You know, we'll... No more. The water. Then we lost, Orry? Cast out? Yes. it's how it is. Gone, all of it. Limestone dust flies into the trees. For each of them, some old nightmare is lurking. Some memory of flames or water or dark wind. It touches something sudden. No-one says a damn thing. No-one believes anymore.
G'day there, 'Leftie'. G-'day, Doll. Round on the house. My shout. Bloody beauty! He wouldn't shout if a shark bit him. G'day, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, kids, grab a squash and scoot. I'll come up in a minute with some chips. Yeah, g'day, mate. You'll be right. Your luck will change. Yeah. Every time I look at you, you arsy bugger, I remember. All it takes is one good moment. One good horse, you mean. Well, a good horse in a good moment. Good old Eurhythmic, eh? Ran like a thief. Yeah. Well, you're going to have to work somehow. Can't sit on your date and make Dolly work. Show me. What? What's left. It's not pretty. Jesus wept on a Sunday. One bad moment. Let's get out of here.
Where we going? Sit around here like a stale bottle of piss. Let's go fishing Oi, oi. Alright, here we go. Here we go. Oh! First bloody line you cast, you arsy bastard. Oh, yeah! Come on. Come on. Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo! Yeah! You alright? Joel? “The Eurhythmic Hotel is to be sold “with the proceeds going to the Geraldton Turf Club, “except for ã200 which I leave to my brother, Samuel Manifold Pickles. “Further, the property at Number 1 Cloud Street, Perth “is left to the same Samuel Pickles "on the proviso that it cannot be sold for 10 years.” And that concludes the reading of the will. Didn't even know he had it. Part of a deceased estate. The home of a very respectable woman, I believe. She used to take in native girls and try and make ladies of them so they could set a standard for the rest of their race. She tried to teach them how to make their beds and serve at the table, play the piano. Unfortunately, you just can't help some people. Didn't work out, then? Well, let's just say it ended badly, Mr Pickles. Now it's vacant, eh? Vacant possession.
Been boarded up for years. Lucky me, eh? It's bloody huge. Bloody strange, if you ask me. Where are we going to sleep? Must be a dozen rooms or more. Take your pick, I suppose. I want this one! This one's mine. Come look at this, Chub. Show us your room. Crabs, missus. You want fresh crabs? Shoo. Shoo. Just swept this path. No! Get here! Don't you never go near that house. Never. What happened? Got a story for this place? I got a big mob of stories for this place. I'll tell you one day. Now, go on. I'm here, house. I'm watching and waiting. I see you. One day I'll come back and finish that story proper way. One day.
- I have an intruder in my house. - You sure it's not a member of your family? - No. Nobody is home. - What's the address? - 35 Drumlin Road. - We're sending a patrol car. - Please hurry. Please. [ Scraping Sound ] [ Squeaking ] [ Hinge Squeaking ] [ Man Grunting ] [ Man ] Oh, my God. Oh, Viv, no. No. No... Viv. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No. No... Ah! [ Gasps ] [ Girl ] You're gonna regret it. You're gonna regret it. You're gonna regret it. You're gonna regret it. - The light is different out here. It's softer. - It's called smog.
You should be excited, Vi. You can stop sneaking cigarettes and just start taking deep breaths. - I need to go to the bathroom. - We're almost there. - I need to go. - Vi, it's a freeway. [ Chuckling ] Really. Where do you want me to pull over? Maybe the Honda next to us has a bathroom or something. Bet if baby substitute had to shit, you'd find somewhere. Really, Violet? I hate that word unless I'm saying it. You know, I'm really glad we named you Violet instead of our second choice. - Which was? - Sunshine. [ Laughing ] [ Mock Laughing ] It's funny. Come on. You gotta admit it's funny. [ Doorbell Rings ] I love it. Don't you love it, hon? I mean, it looks even better than it did online. [ Vivien ] Yeah, it's... It's interesting. Great. So we're the Addams Family now. Hey! Crabby pants! - Come here. - What are you doing?
Isn't this place amazing? Hmm. [ Hinges Creak ] Welcome. [ Woman ] It's a classic I.A. Victorian, built around 1920 by the doctor to the stars at the time. It's just fabulous. These are real Tiffany fixtures. As you can see, the previous owners really loved this place like a child. They restored everything. Gay? What do you think? Tiffany. Wow. - Do you cook? - Viv is a great cook. I got her cooking lessons a few years ago, and she ended up teaching the teacher a few things. Cooking lessons. Romantic. Aren't you a psychologist? Psychiatrist. You said something on the phone about there being a study that I could use as a home office? I'm planning on seeing patients here... so I can spend more time with the family. How refreshing. [ Dog Barking ] Violet, honey, would you go see where Hallie went? Thank you. What are you yapping at? [ Creaking ] [ Ben ] When I saw the pictures of this room online, I thought maybe you could use it as your music room.
Are you a musician? I was. Cellist. Very good one, in fact. Why did you quit? This wallpaper is peeling over here. Looks like maybe there's a mural underneath it. The last owners probably covered it up. They were modernists. Speaking of the last owners, full disclosure requires that I tell you about what happened to them. Oh, God. They didn't die in here or anything, did they? Yes, actually. Both of them. Murder-suicide. I sold them the house too. They were just the sweetest couple. You never know, I guess. That explains why it's half the price of every other house in the neighborhood, I guess. I do have a very nice mid-century ranch, but it's in the Valley, and you're going to get a third of the house for twice the price. Great. Where'd it happen? The basement. We'll take it. [ Sighs ] Come on, baby. Let's go to bed. Leave that for the morning. I'm a little bit worried about Violet. You know?
These kids here are very different. I don't know if she can handle another year not fitting in. You mean... you can't? I can't believe this place doesn't freak you out a little because of what happened here. My repulsion is tempered by the fact that this house is worth four times what we paid for it. So, let's not think about it. This is your professional advice, Doctor? Just denial? Come on. Let me give you a little love. Moving here, buying this house, was the exact right thing to do... for us... and our family. It's a good thing. And we deserve some good after all the shit we've been through. I-I've got some stuff I want to... unpack down in the kitchen. I appreciate that you're trying. I'm trying too. Okay. It's just gonna take some time. - [ Girl ] So I let him. - Do coke off your nipples? They were numb for, like, two days. Hey! Student council passed a rule against smoking in public spaces. - Secondhand smoke kills. - I'm new. I didn't know. What the hell is wrong with you? People sit here. They eat here. You don't know me.
Why are you doing this? Leah's grandmother died of lung cancer. She takes this stuff pretty seriously. Eat it. Eat it or I'm gonna kick the shit out of you. - No. - Come on, Leah. That's enough. No, no, no. I want to see her eat it. - Yes! Eat it! - Leah, seriously, she's, like, 12. - [ Spits ] - [ Screams ] [ Screaming ] You are dead! You are dead! [ Scraping ] Whoo! - You're gonna die in here. - [ Screams ] Who are you? What are you doing? What are you doing here? [ Woman ] Adelaide. Adelaide. Adelaide. Adelaide. I put on Dora the Explorer for you, so you would sit and watch it. It was Go, Diego, Go. I don't like it. Oh, brown cartoon characters.
You can't tell the difference. - Excuse me. - Hi. Hi. I'm Constance, your neighbor from next door, and this is my girl, Adelaide. [ Constance Chuckles ] Hello. Go home, Addy. Now. That girl is a monster. I love her, and I'm a good Christian, but Jesus H. Christ, if they'd invented some of those tests a few years ago, I would have... How did you get into my house? You left your back door open. Although I have to tell you, Addy will always find a way in. She has a bug up her ass about this house. Always has. - You have the loveliest things. - Thank you. - Have you got a dog? - I-I do have a dog, yes. I run a little kennel out of my house. - Doggy day care kind of a thing and... - How nice. Well, I prefer purebreds. I adore the beauty of a long line, but there's always room in my home for mongrels. [ Chuckles ] Oh. Oh, my. Look at those earrings. Are those real diamonds? Not that home-shopping shit?
No. I used to have diamonds like that. Different pair for every day of the week. Did your husband give them to you? He did. Mm-hmm. They always do when you're young and pretty. Are you Southern? Proud Virginian. The Old Dominion, born and bred. Thank you for noticing. I came out here to be a movie star. Did the screen tests and everything. But nudity was the big deal then. The morals were just beginning to collapse, and I wasn't about to have my green pasture flashed 70 feet high... for every man, woman and child to see. So I took that little butterfly of a dream... and put it in a jar on the shelf. And, uh, soon after came the mongoloid... and, of course, I couldn't work after that. It has been so great to meet you. I just, you know... I wasn't prepared for guests at all. I'm gone. Oh, I brought you this. You know, a little, um, housewarming. - Thank you. - [ Chuckles ] Addy wanted to bake you a pie, but she tends to spit in the cooking, so I thought this would be better. Help get rid of some of that bad juju. I don't remember your name. Right, no. I never got a chance to tell you my name.
- Oh. - My name is Vivien Harmon. Anyway, relax and enjoy. Let me know if you need any help with that pup. Will do. I'm glad you're getting rid of that wallpaper. I thought those people were supposed to be stylish. [ Chuckles ] It's sage... for cleansing... the... spirits in the house. Too many bad memories in here. [ Wind Whistling ] [ Wind Whistling ] [ Screams ] What happened? Are you okay? Oh. I guess these guys were into the kinky stuff, huh? Should I try it on? That's not funny. I think I'd look good in that. What happened? - Holy shit. - Let's get rid of it. Come on. Let's go downstairs. Come on. [ Vivien ] Watch the stairs. So, Tate, these fantasies started two years ago? Three years ago? When?
Two years ago. It's always the same. It starts the same way. How? Tell me. I prepare for the noble war. [ Man Whistling ] [ Tate ] I'm calm. I know the secret. I know what's coming, and I know no one can stop me, including myself. Do you target people who have been mean to you or unkind? I kill people I like. ♪ Can I help you? Some of them beg for their life. I don't feel sad. I don't feel anything. It's a filthy world we live in. It's a filthy, goddamn, helpless world. And, honestly, I feel like I'm helping to take them away... from the shit and the piss and the vomit that run in the streets. I'm helping to take them somewhere clean and kind. There's something about all that blood, man. I drown in it. The Indians believed that blood holds all the bad spirits. Once a month in ceremonies, they would cut themselves to let the spirits go free. There's something smart about that. Very smart. I like that. You think I'm crazy? No.
I think you're creative, and I think you have a lot of pain you're not dealing with. - My mother's probably worried about me, right? - I'm sure she is. She's a cocksucker. I mean, literally a cocksucker. She used to suck the guy off next door all the time. My dad found out, and he left. He left me alone with a cocksucker. Can you imagine? How sick is that? - I've heard a lot worse. - Cool. Can you tell me some? I like stories. No. I can't. The world is a filthy place. It's a filthy, goddamn, horror show. There's so much pain, you know? [ Tate ] There's so much. You're doing it wrong. If you're trying to kill yourself, cut vertically. They can't stitch that up. How'd you get in here? If you're trying to kill yourself, you might also try locking the door. [ Voice Whispering, Garbled ] [ Ben's Voice ] Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Viv, no. No!
No... [ Gas Hissing ] [ Footsteps ] Ben, what are you doing? Am I in a dream? May I help you? I'm Moira O'Hara. I'm the housekeeper. Oh. I didn't know the place came with a housekeeper. Why are you hanging your sheets? Perfectly good electric dryer inside. I don't like all those chemicals in the fabric softener, so I just like to do it naturally. I work Monday through Thursday. Thanksgiving on, Christmas off. Um... That was the deal with the last fellows. I'm sorry. I'm just not sure that we're gonna need a housekeeper. What have you been using to clean the floorboards? - Murphy's Oil Soap. - Oh, no. White vinegar. Oil soap kills the wood. I like that better. It's more natural. - Have you ever owned a house this old before? - No. It has a personality, feelings. Mistreat it and you'll regret it.
May I come in? My cab's left, and I'd like to call another. So you worked for the previous owners? I've been the housekeeper here for years. They come, they go. I stay. They were both nice boys, the ones before you. I found the bodies. What happened? I mean, I hate to gossip. They fought a lot. Money, I think. But who can know when something so horrible happens? Sometimes people just go mad. I cleaned the mess. You'd never know. Can I ask you a personal question? Do you ever get tired of cleaning up other people's messes? We're women. It's what we do. I just get paid for it. Yes. [ Footsteps ] Oh, hey, this is my husband, Ben. Ben, this is Moira O'Hara. She was the housekeeper for the previous owner. Nice to meet you. [ Horn Honking ] That's my cab. - I'll use the lavatory first if you don't mind.
- Sure. What do you think? Wait, you-you... you want to hire her? Yeah. I mean, she's a little kooky, but she seems trustworthy. She knows the house really well, and I feel like I could just use the help. [ Footsteps ] So, can you start tomorrow? - Thursday's better, but I'll make it work. - Okay. And you know, Moira, you don't have to wear the housekeeper's uniform. You can just wear your own clothes. I don't like cleaning people's houses in my own clothes. [ Exhales ] What? Nothing. Just... You just always surprise me. I like that. You're gonna have to forgive me one day. You mind if I tape this? No. You taking your medications? Yes. Any side effects? I was taking them at night, but they kept me up. - What'd you do? - Started taking them in the morning. Light sensitivity is pretty common. Maybe.
Yeah, I think so. When I was in medical school, they brought in this C.I.A. interrogator... to help us better identify who was lying. This guy was like 6'50", crew cut. He must have been one hell of an interrogator because I'll tell you somethin'... I'd be terrified to lie to him. You think I'm lying to you? - Light sensitivity isn't a side effect of Lexapro, Tate. - So you lied to me. What is important, if you're telling the truth about doing these things to your classmates, if you are actually a danger to society, the law says that I have to report you to the police. Did you call them? Not yet. I've treated psychotics before... and people with the right combination of chemical imbalance... and psychological damage that can't be reached. You think that's me? You think I can't get better? You? [ Scoffs ] Are you kidding me? You're hopeless. - [ Chuckling ] - [ Laughing ] Everybody can get better, Tate. Everybody. I just think you're scared. Of what, I'm not sure yet. Maybe rejection, certainly because of what your father did to you. I was afraid my big dick wouldn't work. [ Chuckles ] What? Yeah, that's why I didn't take the meds. I was afraid my dick wouldn't work. Because I met someone. This one I did after my dad left. I was 10, I think.
Last week, first day at my new school. Sucks. Westfield, right? The worst. I got thrown out of there. I hate it here. I hate everyone. All their bougie designer bullshit. East coast was much cooler. I mean, at least we had weather. I love it when the leaves change. Yeah, me too. ? [ Woman Singing Pop Ballad ] - Why'd you move here? - My dad had an affair. My mom literally caught him in the act. That's horrible. If you love someone, you should never hurt them. Never. Right? I know. - [ Chalk Clicking ] - And the worst part is that six months earlier, my mom had, like, this brutal miscarriage. The baby was seven months old, and we had to have this macabre funeral. Have you ever seen a baby coffin? ♪With faithful arrows you♪ ♪Might get back in the saddle♪ ♪But it's a special death♪ ♪you've saved♪ I'm sorry.
♪For me,♪ ♪the brown-eyed daughte? ♪ Why are you seeing my dad? Don't ask questions you already know the answer to. You're smarter than that. Wanna listen to Morrisey? He's cool, and he's pissy, and he hates everyone and everything. Got any Kurt Cobain on that thing? - What are you doing in here? - Just listening to music, Dad. You need to leave, Tate. You shouldn't be in here. I think you know that. Please. What's that thing you think I'm afraid of? Fear of rejection? Stay away from him. - Dad, nothing... - You heard me! [ Grunts ] Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! [ Hallie Barking ] Hey, babe, you seen my razor blades? [ Moira Moans ] [ Moaning ] [ Moaning ] [ Whimpering ] [ Man ] Your family is in danger. - [ Noisemaker Pops ] - [ Gasps ]
[ Addy Laughing ] - What are you doing? - [ Laughing ] Why are you in my house? [ Laughing ] - [ Yaps ] - I want you to stay out of my house. Do you understand? - Can I smoke in here? - No. Adelaide, answer me please. Can I pet your dog? No. Adelaide, I want you to stay out of the house. I want you to stop coming in and opening things up and telling me I'm gonna die. - She said that? - [ Laughing ] She says that to everybody. [ Chuckles ] Say you're sorry, Addy. - No. They did it. - Who did it? - The twins. - Shh. Can I pet your dog? No. Adelaide, listen to me. I want you to stop coming in here without permission. - Am I clear? - Vivien.
- Am I clear? - Yes. Thank you. Time to go, Addy. - [ Snarling ] - [ Ben ] Hallie! Are you okay? She shouldn't have done that. Sorry about all this. [ Chuckles ] You touch my kid one more time, and I will break your goddamn arm. No, I have no evidence of any past violence. No, I don't have his Social. Listen, do not transfer me again. I'm trying to report a patient of high school age that I believe could be dangerous. Yes. Yes, I'll hold. Unbelievable. [ Sliding Door Opens ] May I clean in here? It's not a good time, Moira. It's Thursday. I get off in 20 minutes. If I don't do it now, it's not getting done until Monday. Am I distracting you? Why don't you touch me a little? - Get out. - What are you afraid of? Your wife's not home. She's probably at Pilates. I won't tell.
- [ Snaps ] - Oh, God. I didn't tell when you saw me playing with myself the other day. Please just go. Did you touch yourself after? - Please just go. - You did. Do it again. - Show me. - [ Hinge Creaks ] Shit! Violet. Violet! Damn it! - I'm not scared of you! - You should be! - [ Students Chanting ] Fight! Fight! Fight! - [ Violet Shouting, Grunting ] Get off. Get off! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! - [ Sizzling ] - [ Screams ] Oh! She freaking burned me! [ Footsteps Approaching ] [ Ben Sighs ]
My professional opinion? Whoever painted this wall had some deep psychological issues. I thought you had a patient. Ah, they bailed. - Do you want some help cleaning up? - Yeah. Thanks. This thing doesn't tweak you out? There's something about it that I find weirdly comforting. One of my psych professors told me that people tell stories that cope with their fears. All art and myths are just creations... to give us some sense of control over the things we're scared of. Afraid of dying? Create reincarnation. Afraid of evil? Create a benevolent God who sends evildoers to hell. I think I just like that I don't have to think while I do it. [ Chuckles ] Okay. I always thought you were prettiest like this. No makeup, messy hair, a little sweaty. I'm old. Stop. You're beautiful. You are. You know that? [ Murmurs ] Violet won't be home for an hour. No. Okay? Ben. Ben. Come on, babe.
No. Sorry. I'm just not... How long, Viv? How long are you gonna punish me for? I'm not punishing you, you narcissistic asshole. I'm trying to figure out how to forgive you... for having sex with one of your students. You want me to have sex with you? I can't even look at your face, Ben, without seeing the expression on it... while you were pile-driving her in our bed! I screwed up! How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I was hurting too! Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did... Did the life that was growing inside you die, and did you have to carry that around in your belly? The dead corpse of our baby son? Did you have to go into labor and deliver our child, dead? My son died too! My baby died too! And you buried your sorrow in some 21-year-old's pussy. You know, I could show you statistics on how many men cheat after a miscarriage. I was there for you, Viv. I was patient and understanding and caring, and I put your feelings first. My hero. I don't even know how to say this without coming off like an asshole. You know what? Just go ahead. Really.
Never stopped you before. You're so angry. Why don't you really tell it like it is? Six months of therapy... with you apologizing and crying was bullshit. So, please, tell me how you really feel. You got a dog. [ Laughs ] I needed you, and you got a dog. [ Gasps ] It was me you should've been curling up with at night. Not a dog! Oh, so... I needed you. You needed me? So she was revenge because you needed me? Because I wasn't there for you in your time of need? Now I get it. We haven't had sex in almost a year. Yeah. You think I don't know that? October 20th. We had great sex, Viv. It was loving and sexy and personal and even a little... even a little weird. I love you. I moved across country for you... because in all my life the only thing I've been truly scared of is losing you, losing this family. Something horrible happened to us, and we handled it even more horribly. But this... this place... is our second chance, Viv. It's our second chance. But I just... I just need... to know that you want it too. Tell me I...
What are you doing? [ Grunting ] Viv. Viv, stop it. What are you doing? No. [ Both Grunting ] [ Moans ] [ Panting ] [ Ben ] We're gonna be happy here. Here you go, Hallie. [ Softly ] Good girl. Good girl. Hey. Whoa. Come here. - What happened to your face? - Fell down. [ Sighs ] Come here. Sit, sit, sit. - Boy or girl? - Girls. Three of them. Hope they look worse than you do. Do you know their names? I'm not narcing. You know, we can easily move you to a different school. There are a lot of really good private schools right in this neighborhood. I'm not running away. I'm not scared of them. Not afraid of anything.
It's like that time in kindergarten... when you insisted that I bring you home from the slumber party... 'cause all the other girls were sleeping with the night light on. I know you've gotten the short end of the stick lately. This move and... your dad and I haven't exactly been great to be around. Why don't you guys get divorced if you're so miserable? We still love each other. You could have fooled me. I thought you hated each other. Well, at least you hated him. I don't blame you. He was a shithead. Sorry. It's okay. He was a shithead. You know, we've got a lot of history. Your dad's been through a lot. I've been through a lot. Guess we need each other. What are you scared of? You said I'm not scared of anything. So what scares you? Lately? Everything. Life will do that to you. [ Violet ] I hate her. - I just want to kill her. - Then do it. One less high school bitch making the lives of the less fortunate more tolerable is, in my opinion, a public service. You want her to leave you alone? Stop making your life a living hell? Short of killing her, there's only one solution...
Scare her. Make her afraid of you. That's the only thing bullies react to. - How? - It's simple. You simply walk up to her and say... Here's the deal. I need you to stop harassing me. I got what you want... drugs. Come to my house tomorrow for your free sample. I'm a dealer and a good one. I got the best shit in town. She's a cokehead. I don't have coke. You won't need any. It's just an excuse to get her here. After that, she'll leave empty-handed and terrified, and I promise you, you'll never be bothered by her again. - How am I gonna terrify her? - Helter skelter. That's where I come in. [ Thump ] [ Scoffs ] Hot. I thought I told you to throw that thing away. Oh, you're not talking? Well, I'll give you points for creativity. We were pretty hot this afternoon. You really want to go for round two, huh? Come on. I can be kinky.
[ Gas Hissing ] [ Moaning ] [ Moaning ] [ Voice Whispering, Garbled ] Now is not your time. Enjoy the house. Go back to bed. I love you. I love you too. [ Leah ] What's down there? My stash. Parents toss my room every week. If you're screwing with me... It's just the basement. I found the best hiding place. This is great shit too. A lot of the coke coming into the U.S. from Central America... is smuggled in on lobster boats from Gloucester. Used to show my boobs to the lobstermen in return for a key or two before they cut it. So where is it? Right around the corner. - To the right. - This place is a dump. Oh, shut up. I want my goddamn drugs. Then keep going. So this is the coke whore. Who the hell are you? Get the lights. [ Buzzing ] [ Laughing Crazily ]
[ Leah Screaming ] What is going on? What is going on? - [ Snarling ] - [ Tate ] Come on, whore! Come on! - Coke whore! - [ Leah Screams ] [ Grunting ] Get off of me. Get off! - [ Screaming ] Get it off! - [ Violet Screaming ] Get it off me! Get it off! - [ Screaming ] - Stop! [ Leah Gasping, Screaming ] - [ Snarling ] - [ Screaming ] [ Screaming Continues ] Mommy? - [ Slashing ] - [ Leah Screaming ] [ Screaming Continues ] Leah, wait! [ Running Footsteps ] - I don't think she'll be bothering you anymore. - What was that? What? She kneed me in the balls and got away. She must have run into a wall or something. - No, I saw something! - Violet, you're talking crazy. This is cool.
We showed that bitch. Get out. I never want to see you again. [ Running Footsteps ] I thought you weren't afraid of anything! [ Door Slams ] - [ Gasps ] - Who are you? And why are you following me? Your family is in danger. [ Gasping, Panting ] What happened to you? Pretty, aren't I? It's over 70% of my body. I'm Larry Harvey. And you have to get out of that house. I could have you arrested. Peeking in people's windows is still a crime. Even in I.A. They're not gonna put me back into jail. I have brain cancer. It's terminal, inoperable. I'm sorry. Don't be. That's the only reason they let me out. Homicide. Triple homicide. I was in that house for six months before I started hearing voices. My wife thought I was working too hard. My daughter Angie was six.
The older one, Margaret, was 10. She looked like her mother. It's funny how it skips a generation like that. I killed them... all. [ Larry ] Lorraine was ill that night. She took a pill. She went to bed early, my wife. And then I, uh... I put the girls down. And then the voices started. [ Voice Whispering, Garbled ] They told me what to do. I was like... an obedient child. [ Sobbing, Whimpering ] I... [ Exhales ] I don't know how I put myself out. [ Fingers Click ] I remember that night, but... it's like a dream. Have... Have you been sleepwalking? Yeah. Look up my case. Read the transcript. Listen to me. I'm a doctor. They may not put you back in jail, but I can certainly have you committed to a state mental institution. And trust me, those places make prison look like Club Med. Leave my family alone. Do you hear me?
Please. Please. Please. You have to get out of there! That place is evil. Get off of me! Leave us alone! Leave us alone! Hmm. Put those earrings back. [ Earring Lands On Floor ] Jesus H. Christ. You almost gave me a heart attack. Those belong to madam. This is her house, not yours. Why is it that it is always the old whore... who acts the part of a moralistic prude? I'd be nervous if I were you too. When things go missing, they always blame the new maid. I'd move if I were you. Don't make me kill you again. Hey. Hey. [ Clears Throat ] What do you want for dinner? Whatever you want. I think I want Indian food. You only like Indian food when you're pregnant. [ Chuckles ] Really? Mmm.

In C.I, we're up against the most sophisticated enemy in the world. I'll tell you one good thing about bank robbers... they speak English. They got me in beginning Russian four days a week. Ugh. You got an ear for languages? Ah, you know, I had a very attractive French teacher one year in high school. I got a B-plus. Oh, coffee. Ah, just what I need. We getting started soon, there, boss? Timoshev isn't here. He's 20 minutes late. Maybe he had a little too much vodka last night. I have been working with him since he defected. He hasn't been 20 seconds late for anything. Where's he coming in from? I don't know. He only deals with the director and the A.G. I don't even know where he stayed last night. Mormon. Since Reagan got elected, he starts these meetings at 7:00 A.M. Reagan's not a mormon. Fundamentalist, whatever. The goal is the same... to wear down the enemy by waking up earlier than they do. Who's Timoshev? He's this ex-KGB colonel. Blew the whistle on these Directorate "S" undercover agents supposedly hiding all over the U.S. Super-secret identities... no one has any idea who they are. What, you don't buy it? There's not a single piece of evidence.
Look. You get these guys like Timoshev, right? They come over. They get these huge resettlement packages. We're talking millions of dollars. So, they say things to us to justify it. They make up stories to make us happy. Super-secret spies living next door. They look like us, they speak better English than we do. According to Timoshev, they're not allowed to say a single word in Russian once they get here. I mean, come on. Someone's been reading too many spy novels. We're talking figment of the imagination. You understand you make any noise, I will kill you immediately. FBI paid me $3 million when I came over and more since as a consultant. You can get twice that! $3 million as the most valued of defectors, a Directorate "S" officer. Another $3 million for returning me. Just go to the FBI and tell them... Car won't start! We're gonna have to take the bus to the Metro. - Oh, dad. - Yeah? Maruk got two goals and an assist last night versus L.A. Did they win? Uh, no. It was a tie. I'm not going in today, so you're gonna have to handle Portland rotary and call Swissair. Do you know how much they paid that asshole?
$3 million. Henry was looking for his skateboard. It's not in the garage, is it? No. - Let's go, Henry. - Huh? - Bye. - Bye. Bye, guys. What, no coffee for you? Uh, no, thanks. We have to get rid of him tonight. I just coded the message, I'll drop it on the way to work. You don't have to stay here. He's secure in there. There were witnesses. If they figure it out, I mean, they could be looking for him in a couple of hours. - I'm gonna stay. - Yeah, told you... we should have built that secret underground chamber in the basement. You mean the wine cellar you wanted to put in under the laundry room? I did say it could have other uses. Anyway, $3 million? He can buy himself a diamond-plated coffin. 1-7. Show me on this location. Show me canvassing. Multiple callers, unknown direction of flight. What do you got? I got a female witness.
She saw a guy knock the victim down, grab the purse, and run this way. Give me that, uh... description one more time, please. We didn't get a full description. Male Caucasian, black hair, unknown complexion, unknown age. All right, if you do have a victim, have them respond to this location... north end of Dupont Circle. All right, did you notify Parks? Again. Harder. Focus. Yeah. Okay. Again. So, what we have? Captain... I did not know you are back. You two are working late. She has great promise. We are putting in extra work. Leave us. I will teach her how we do it in the field. Go. Now, my dear... again. I am sorry, Captain. I'm sorry. Use the contraction. I'm sorry. Now... faster. Ugh! Watch! Don't overcommit.
Nyet! Remember me, Captain? How's the game? Uh, Jughead is in serious trouble. Okay, well, do some reading and some stirring for me, okay? - Paige, what are you working on? - Social studies... a paper on how the Russians cheat on arms control. Hmm. That's, uh, Henrickson, right? - Yep. - Yeah. I don't know how you can look at him all day with that... that harelip. Mom, that's his handicap. So, what's the trouble with these guys? Well, Betty and Veronica were hosting a charity drive, - and... - Yeah? - So Jughead... - I'm home! - Oh, dad! - Yeah? We launched our rocket today in science. - Wow! Was it manned or unmanned? - Unmanned. But tomorrow, we're gonna give Commander Stafford a plaque to commemorate the mission. Well, I'm sure he'll be very honored. Go look out the window. I made the drop in the park. No response.
Maybe he can move in with us permanently. I can fix up the spare bedroom for him. I have a meeting later. We'll know more then. Holy shit! That's the coolest car ever! Henry! Language! Don't fall in love with it. It's only a rental until the Oldsmobile gets fixed. I said that word once, and you guys grounded me for a week. Whenever you're ready. Here we go. Dad's gonna start this up right here, right now. Ice-cream Olympics. Take your time. - Eyes on the cone. - Be the cone. Eyes... eyes on the cone. Don't feint too early. Don't feint too early. Know your distance. Know your distance. Oh, no! All right, Henry, you're up. War... paint. Here we go. War paint. Let me see your war face. Spike it.
Eyes on the cone. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ease up. Remember the training. Ohh! The big nose cone! - Mom, you're up. - No, thanks. Come on. Just a... just a... I don't want... no, thanks. Little one? Come on. Let's see. Ohh! - Sorry. - Stop. Maybe we can have a Checkers round-robin when we get hone? Um, I'm just dropping you guys off. I got to... got to meet a client. Why are you meeting a client so late? He's coming in on a late flight and wants to grab a drink. You know, that's what business is all about, honey. Anyone can make travel arrangements, but you keep the executives happy, you keep the accounts. How have you been, Martha? Fine, Clark. Would you like to come in? So, referencing our meeting this evening... obviously, you understand it's been classified Top Secret by the the Internal Affairs Division of the Committee to oversee United States' counterintelligence agencies.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, - et cetera, et cetera? - I do. Great. So, big day at FBI Counterintelligence? Yes, it was. Obviously, we know most of it, but I just want to hear the details from you, because a crisis can provide an opportunity to uncover the leaks that we have been looking for in your office. So just tell me what you saw. Thank you. Well... I-I know that a man was kidnapped. He was supposed to speak at a conference this morning, but he didn't show. Mm-hmm. And did there appear to be a centralized response to the kidnapping? They were in the secure vault all day. Did you get a look inside this time? They don't let me in there. And you know that. I know. I'm sorry. Please go on. Um... well, the man that they kidnapped was Russian. He was someone very important in the KGB, I think. - Right. - By early afternoon, they had tied it to a police report in northeast D.C. about a man who was kidnapped last night. And they have a vehicle description, '77 Oldsmobile, gold, with D.C. plates and bumper stickers. And descriptions of the kidnappers? Two men and a woman. One of the men...
average height with dark hair. And what specific actions did Agent Bartholomew order? Extra agents were sent to surveil the Soviet embassy, agents went out to all the ports and train stations. They thought the Russians would take the man out of the country. How would you best describe Agent Bartholomew's mood? Angry? Um... but I-I don't want to get him in trouble. No, no, no, no. Not at all. Our counterintelligence units, they safeguard the security of our nation, Martha. So, we have to safeguard their security. Tell me what you want next. Oh. I don't know. How about... this? Oh, I... oh, I don't know. I don't... oh! Oh, yes! You mean to tell me a girl never put her finger up your ass before? That's right. Yeah, yeah. Now you got it. Mm-hmm. Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh! There's something... I mean, if I... if I were gonna see you again...
I'd want you to be a little... What? I don't want to hurt your feelings. Tell me. But just maybe... Stronger, maybe? Do you know what the KGB is? Um... I've heard of them. Well... Well, this weekend, I am giving $100,000 cash to a KGB defector who's coming to town to... The Reagan administration revealed today that after a month-long review, it will honor the agreement with Iran that led to the release of the 52 American hostages. So... FBI have the car description with the D.C. plates. They haven't connected it to a stabbing victim at Arlington Methodist yet, but I don't think it will be long. They're all over our guys at the embassy, who must have made the surveillance, which is why they can't get out to pick up my message or respond. So, I think we have to assume, with the feds all over them like that, they're on full operational stand-down. We should just take care of him ourselves. What's the rush? On an operational stand-down, we're authorized to make our own decisions. Yes, but why do you want to kill him so badly? I want him out of my house! He's putting us all in danger, and they're just gonna kill him back in Moscow anyway. I think we should at least try and finish the mission the way it was assigned. Oh, now you want to complete the mission the way it was assigned? I mean, you should have thought of that before, Philip. He shouldn't even be here. Well, if you're that worried about him, maybe we could just defect ourselves. At least we'd be millionaires. Hmm?
We wouldn't have to worry about going to jail and leaving the kids all alone. A lot of our problems would just go away. Pkew! That's very funny. Let's see what we hear tomorrow. You sure you don't want to come? Haven't even seen the new mall yet. It's a mall. See you, ma. Yeah, I know, but this one has fountains and skylights. Bye, mom.

Stop. Stop. You're my wife. Is that right? Oh, hi. You came! Just for a second, to, uh, bring over brownies and welcome you to the neighborhood. Well, come in. Come in. Can I offer you guys a drink or...? - No, no, no, no, no. - No. This place is a mess. Please, please, don't do anything. We just wanted to bring over the brownies. I'm so sorry. We can come over and help. Actually, Henry can come over all day tomorrow if you want. - Oh thank you. Um, this is my son Matthew. - Hi. Do you know where your father is? Uh, he's upstairs. What, do we have visitors already? Uh, yeah. This is Stan. Hey. Phil Jennings. How you doing? Stan Beeman.

Actually, I work in Counterintelligence now. Counterintel... that's... that's against spies, right? Exactly. Oh. I'll have to make sure I don't do any spying around here. Oh, you better not, especially for those Russians. Oh, yeah. They're the... they're the worst, right? Oh, they certainly are, Philip. They certainly are. It's probably a coincidence, FBI agents have to live somewhere. Or they're onto us. And this is what? The end game. They're... they're trying to make us do something stupid. Either way, we get rid of Timoshev tonight. I almost did it myself this morning, but I thought you'd be pissed. If they are watching us, the last thing you want to do is kill Timoshev. That's life in prison. That's no deals, nothing. We take those risks every day, Philip. That's what we do. May... maybe there's another way. Look, maybe this is an... opportunity. Maybe this is the perfect time for us just to think about... living the life we've been living but just really living it.
Just... being us. What are you talking about? I'm saying we might be blown. And I'm saying if they are watching us, we can't kill Timoshev. I'm also saying we are Philip and Elizabeth Jennings. We have been for a very long time. So why don't we get ahead of this and why don't we make the first move and offer ourselves to them? We could get a lot of money... $3 million for Timoshev, $3 million for us. We just get relocated, take the good life, and be happy. Are you joking? Is this a joke? No. You want to betray our country? Well, after everything we've done, I don't think it's such a betrayal. Defecting to America? America's not so bad. We've been here a long time. What's... what's so bad about it, you know? The electricity works all the time. Food's pretty great. - The closet space... - Is that what you care about? - No, I care about everything. - Not the Motherland! I do, but our family comes first. So, Paige and Henry, uh... - What exactly is your plan? - We'd have a great life because we would have money. What would you tell them, Philip?
The truth. You swore. We swore we would never tell them! To let them grow up and live their own lives. They're not to be a part of this. They're not to be a part of this. They will be American, and you can't stand that. I see it every day. I'm not finished with them yet. They don't have to be regular Americans. - They can be socialists. - They're not gonna be socialists. - They can be trade-union activists. - This place doesn't turn out socialists. To know that it was all a lie? They would never speak to us again, Philip. And what are we even talking about? There would be no future for any of us. - They would kill us all! - They'd never find us. - They would never find us. - Have you looked in our trunk? ! He was a fool. He came back to give speeches. Left clues about where he was staying. We'd... we'd be more careful. Colonel. Come. Philip...
I'd like you to meet Elizabeth. Elizabeth... this is Philip. Pleased to meet you. Likewise. I'll leave you two to get acquainted. There is so much to talk about. Your lives up until now. Philip and Elizabeth's lives. Not the other ones... those should never be discussed. It would be easy to believe in the Elizabeth who grew up in Chicago, Illinois, Philip, if you don't know any other story. Elizabeth, you'll be less likely to make a slip one day if there is no other version of this man you're hiding away in the back of your mind. Please. Sit. Would you like some tea? Yes. Thank you. Please. Arlington Methodist. County liaison. How can I help you? Sergeant Vaugn, Fairfax Sheriff Department. I'm looking for a John Doe... would have come in Thursday night. Male Caucasian, 5'10", knife wound to the stomach. Let me look. Oh, I'm sorry, Sergeant. He expired that night. Okay, thank you. Hey, neighbor! Hey, Stan.
How's the move-in coming? Oh, you know, it's long way to go. - You want a beer? - No, thank you. But I could actually use some jumper cables if you have them. My wife's car didn't quite make the trip from St. Louis. Sure, come on in. Oh, great. You sure no beer? Oh, I'd love to, but I got to go in to work. You don't even get a day off to move in? You know, we got this real shit storm brewing. Looks like I'm gonna be working seven-day weeks for the foreseeable future. You having car trouble? Oh, nothing major... cracked PCV hose. This is an Oldsmobile Delta, huh? Yeah. '77? Mm-hmm. I wanted the Coupe. She wanted the Sedan. So we settled on this with a V8. Beautiful styling with these stacked headlights. GM can't make these fast enough, huh? Yeah, it's a great car. You weren't, uh, tempted by one of those Japanese upstarts, huh? I don't think I'd fit in one. Oh, yeah, I hear you on that. Oh, great.
Thanks. You bet. Well, I got to get back. Of course. After you. What's it called? A piroshki. It's like a meat dumpling. They kind of like them. I kind of like them, too. They're juicy. They're doughy. Mr. Beeman. This is Agent Gaad, my former deputy. How you doing? He's detailed to a CIA Counterintelligence task force at Langley. He's going to bring them up to speed on Timoshev, and hopefully they can help us out. Hi, Chris. Frank. Agent Beeman, do you think there's any chance that Timoshev is still alive? Uh, he's been here about 10 minutes, Frank. Well, it's my understanding he has some special insight. Yeah, my bank-robbery assignment, the last three years, I was undercover. Undercover? With who? A white-supremacist group out of Southern Arkansas. 24 principals currently awaiting trial. No shit. You were living it, the whole nine yards? Yeah.
I barely saw my family. That's one thing we haven't had around here... someone with that mind-set. I thought you were here for your good looks. On Timoshev, sir... when you're betrayed by one of your own... Psst. Hey. When you're betrayed by one of your own, you're not inclined to put him out of his misery fast. I would bet the Russians would go to considerable lengths to get him back there so they can look him in the eye before they blow his brains out. If you grabbed him but you couldn't get him out of the country right away, where would you keep him? Well, I wouldn't take him to the embassy. I wouldn't want to get near any Russians, where we might be looking. Um, I wouldn't want to be on the street, as much as I could avoid it, or anywhere I didn't usually go. I would probably make a beeline to my house, to tell you the truth. It's really the safest place you can be, strange as that may sound. And I would just follow my regular routine, keep him there till the heat died down. Well, if he's at somebody's house, we're never gonna find him. No, I wouldn't think so, sir. Well, thanks. So, were you, like, burning crosses and shit with those guys or like, "Heil Hitler"? It was a little deeper than that. Like... like what? Hey, dad, can we get a racing stripe on the Oldsmobile? Uh, I don't think your mom would like that. Why not?

I was gonna drive him out, hand him off further from home, but you seem to have taken the distributor cap. - So you were leaving me. - I'm gonna make a deal where you don't have to talk to the Americans if you don't want to, if you think that'll make you a traitor, but you will come with me and the kids.

You know, the Moon isn't everything. Just getting into space is a remarkable accomplishment. It's true. You better hustle off. Hello?
I want to go to the Moon. Me too. That'd be awesome. We got a 7:30 ice time. What are you doing up so early on a Sunday? Oh, it's these crazy shifts I'm working. - I've been up since 5:00. - Ouch.

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. You know, I actually have been feeling that, too. - Excuse me. - You have? Yeah, I mean, you don't have to spend three years with the Gold Legion to have instincts.

Where is the traitor? He tried to escape. We killed him. You missed the hand off. Your comrade died. Now the traitor is dead instead of in our hands. The Centre is worried enough to send me here to see you. - General, I... - Please sit, Elizabeth. Thank you. The American people have elected a madman as their president. He is expanding their military forces on a massive scale.
He is against nuclear arms-control agreements. He makes no secret of his desire to destroy us. Our war is not so cold anymore, Elizabeth. What happens behind enemy lines will determine the outcome of this struggle. You reported several times over the years about Philip. Can we trust him? Yes. I was wrong. It was nothing... a little... a phase in a person's life. So he is not responsible for the mess this mission has become? I was the one at fault, General. I am very sorry. Don't let that happen again, Elizabeth. I may not be able to protect you if you need me. These times bring out the worst in our people. I am fighting now against comrades in our own organization who are starting to act like they did in our darkest days. I understand. If I am not here, you are to fight on. Our enemy is strong and capable. We must meet the challenge. The orders are going to change now. The risks are going to be greater. Your comrade who died was a hero. We are going to need more of those now. We won't let you down, General. You were just a child. Is there anything new in here? We got a new State Police report. - Anything on the weapon? - Not yet.
Our deceased John Doe from Arlington Methodist is proving very difficult to track down. Either he's a KGB Directorate "S" officer who got killed while kidnapping Timoshev, or he's a drifter who got stabbed in a fight in Arlington. His picture's out to every police department in the country, - but it's a needle in a... - Don't say "haystack." Mr. Deputy Attorney General. The Attorney General and I have just come from the White House. President Reagan is outraged that the KGB thinks it can kidnap someone with impunity on American soil. The President has signed Top Secret Executive Order 2579, authorizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation Counterintelligence Office to take all necessary measures to neutralize Soviet Directorate "S" sleeper-cell agents in the continental United States. Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to war. It is a war that will be fought quietly, by the men and the woman in this room. It will not be short. And it will not be easy. But we have truth and justice on our side. And we will prevail. So, why didn't you tell me about Timoshev? We aren't supposed to talk about our other lives. It wasn't really your other life. It happened in training. It was a long time ago. I put it behind me. Things are about to change, Philip. It's gonna get uglier, more dangerous. We'll be fine. Don't forget, we've been doing this a long time. I was born in Smolensk. My father died fighting the Nazis at Stalingrad when I was 2. There was a picture of him in his uniform.
He was pale, with bushy eyebrows. He was smiling, although, of course, he was going off to die. My mother was a bookkeeper for the local Party Committee. My name is... was... Nadezhda. Thank you.

Not that I'm really complaining. After all that blood. Ben hates blood. You having issues with arousal? Not when I'm by myself. Lie back. Well, I've recently had some success with women your age using bioidentical treatments and hormones. For what? Well, it's a sort of a preemptive strike. See, your body is like a house... you can fix the tiles in the bathroom and the kitchen, but if the foundation is decaying, well, you're wasting your time. What are the side effects? You can sit up. Well, the, BHRTs are great for your skin, organs. Most of the women I give these to tell me they make them feel ten years younger. I don't know. You know, I don't even let my family drink out of plastic bottles. Taking a bunch of hormones when I don't even know what the side effects are, I just... Feel and look ten years younger. I don't need hormones, Doctor. I'm just trying to get control of my body again, after what happened. And I'm offering you something to help you get that back. I'm not a house. Vivien, what are you so afraid of? 911. I have an intruder in my house. Are you sure it's not a member of your family? No. Nobody is home. What's the address? 35 Drummond Road.
We're sending a patrol car. Please hurry, please. Oh, my God. No, Viv. No, no. Viv, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No. Aah! You're going to regret it. You're going to regret it. You're going to regret it. The light is different out here. It's softer. It's called smog. You should be excited, Vi. You can stop sneaking cigarettes and just start taking deep breaths. I need to go to the bathroom. We're almost there. I need to go. Vi, it's a freeway. Really, where do you want me to pull over? Maybe the Honda next to us has a bathroom or something. Bet if baby had to shit, you'd find somewhere. Come on. Violet, I hate that word, unless I'm saying it. I'm really glad we named you Violet, instead of our second choice. Which was? Sunshine. It's funny.
Come on, you gotta admit it's funny. I love it. Don't you love it, hon? I mean, it looks even better than it did online. Yeah, it's interesting. Great. So we're the Addams Family now. Hey, crabby pants. Come here. What are you doing? Isn't this place amazing? Welcome. It's a classic L.A. Victorian. Built around 1920 by the doctor to the stars at the time. It's just fabulous. These are real Tiffany fixtures. As you can see, the previous owners really loved this place like a child. They restored everything. Gay? What do you think? Tiffany. Wow. Do you cook? Viv is a great cook. I got her cooking lessons a few years ago, and she ended up teaching the teacher a few things. Cooking lessons... romantic. Aren't you a psychologist? Psychiatrist. You said something on the phone about there being a study that I could use as a home office? I'm planning on seeing patients here, so I can spend more time with the family.
How refreshing. Violet, honey, would you go see where Hayley went? Thank you. What are you yapping at? When I saw the pictures of this room online, I thought maybe you could use it as your music room. Are you a musician? I was. Cellist... very good one, in fact. Why did you quit? This wallpaper is peeling over here. Looks like maybe there's a mural underneath it. The last owners probably covered it up. They were modernists. Speaking of the last owners, full disclosure requires that I tell you about what happened to them. Oh, God... they didn't die in here or anything, did they? Yes, actually, both of them. Murder-suicide. I sold them the house, too. They were just the sweetest couple. - You never know, I guess. - That explains why it's half the price of every other house in the neighborhood, I guess. I do have a very nice mid-century ranch, but it's in the Valley, and you're going to get a third of the house for twice the price. Right. Where did it happen? The basement. We'll take it. Come on, babe, let's go to bed. Leave that for the morning.
I'm a little bit worried about Violet, you know, these kids here are very different. I don't know if she can handle another year of not fitting in. You mean... you can't? Can't believe this place doesn't freak you out a little bit. 'Cause of what happened here? My repulsion is tempered by the fact that this house is worth four times what we paid for it, so let's not think about it. This is your professional advice, Doctor, just denial? Come on, let me give you a little love. Moving here, buying this house was the exact right thing to do for us and our family.

I love her and I'm a good Christian, but Jesus H. Christ. You know, if they had invented some of those tests a few years ago, I would have... How'd you get into my house? You left your back door open. Although I have to tell you, Addy will always find a way in. She has a bug up her ass about this house, always has. You have the loveliest things. Thank you. Have you got a dog? I-I do have a dog, yes. I run a little kennel out of my house, doggy day care kind of a thing. How nice. Well, I prefer purebreds. I adore the beauty of a long line, but there's always room in my home for mongrels. Oh... Oh, my. Look at those earrings. Are those real diamonds? Not that Home Shopping shit. No. I used to have diamonds like that. Different pair for every day of the week. Did your husband give them to you? He did. Hmm? Mm-hmm. They always do when you're young and pretty. Are you Southern? Proud Virginian. The Old Dominion, born and bred.
Thank you for noticing. I came out here to be a movie star. Did the screen tests and everything, but... nudity was the big deal then. The morals were just beginning to collapse, and I wasn't about to have my green pasture flashed 70 feet high for every man, woman, and child to see, so I took that little butterfly of a dream and put it in a jar on the shelf, and, uh, soon after, came the Mongoloid and, of course, I couldn't work after that. It has been so great to meet you. I just... you know, I wasn't prepared for guests at all. I'm gone. Oh, I brought you this. You know, a little, um, housewarming. Thank you. Addy wanted to bake you a pie, but she tends to spit in the cooking, so I thought this would be better. Help get rid of some of that bad juju. I don't remember your name. Right, no, I never got a chance to tell you my name. Oh. My name is Vivien Harmon. Anyway... relax and enjoy. Let me know if you need any help with that pup. Will do. I'm glad you're getting rid of that wallpaper. I thought those people were supposed to be stylish. It's sage... for cleansing the spirits in the house. Too many bad memories in here. What happened? You okay? Oh, I guess these guys were into the kinky stuff, huh? Would you like to try it on? That's not funny.
I think you'd look good in it. What happened? Holy shit. Let's get rid of it. Come on, let's go downstairs. Come on. Watch the steps. So, Tate, these fantasies started two years ago, three years ago, when? Two years ago. It's always the same. It starts the same way. How? Tell me. I prepare for the noble war. I'm calm, I know the secret, I know what's coming, and I know no one can stop me, including myself. Do you target people who have been mean to you or unkind? I kill people I like. Can I help you? Some of them beg for their life. I don't feel sad. I don't feel anything. It's a filthy world we live in. It's a filthy goddamn helpless world, and honestly, I feel like I'm helping to take them away from the shit and the piss and the vomit that run in the streets. I'm helping to take them somewhere clean and kind. There's something about all that blood, man. I drown in it. The Indians believed that blood holds all the bad spirits, and once a month in ceremonies they would cut themselves to let the spirits go free. There's something smart about that. Very smart. I like that.
You think I'm crazy? No. I think you're creative. And I think you have a lot of pain you're not dealing with. My mother's probably worried about me, right? I'm sure she is. She's a cocksucker. I mean, literally, a cocksucker. She used to suck the guy off next-door, all the time. My dad found out, and he left. He left me alone with a cocksucker. Can you imagine? How sick is that? I've heard a lot worse. Cool. Can you tell me some? I like stories. No. I can't. The world is a filthy place. It's a filthy goddamn horror show. There's so much pain, you know? There's so much. You're doing it wrong. If you're trying to kill yourself, cut vertically. They can't stitch that up. How'd you get in here? If you're trying to kill yourself, you might also try locking the door. What are you doing? Am I on a trip?
Can I help you? I'm Moira O'Hara. I'm the housekeeper. Oh. I didn't know the place came with a housekeeper. Why are you hanging your sheets with a perfectly good electric dryer inside? I don't like all those chemicals in the fabric softeners, so I just like to do it naturally. I work Monday through Thursday. Thanksgiving on, Christmas off. Um... That was the deal with the last fellows. I'm sorry. I'm just not sure that we're gonna need a housekeeper. What have you been using to clean the floorboards? Murphy's Oil Soap. Oh, no. White vinegar. Oil soap kills the wood. I like that better. It's more natural. Have you ever owned a house this old before? No. It has a personality, feelings. Mistreat it, and you'll regret it. May I come in? My cab's left, and I'd like to call another. So, you worked for the previous owners? I've been the housekeeper here for years. They come, they go, I stay. They were both nice boys, the ones before you.
I found the bodies. What happened? I mean, I hate to gossip... They fought a lot. Money, I think. But who can know when something so horrible happens? Sometimes people just go mad. I cleaned the mess. You'd never know. Can I ask you a personal question? Do you ever get tired of cleaning up other peoples' messes? We're women. It's what we do. I just get paid for it. Yes. Oh, hey, this is my husband Ben. Ben, this is Moira O'Hara. She was the housekeeper for the previous owner. Nice to meet you. That's my cab. I'll use the lavatory first, if you don't mind. Sure. What do you think? What? You-You... You want to hire her? Yeah, I mean, she's a little kooky, but she seems trustworthy, she knows the house really well, and I feel like I could just use the help. So... can you start tomorrow? Thursday's better, but I'll make it work. Okay.
