Glass House: The Good Mother Page #2

---

Yeah.

Thank you.

Hungry?

Come on.

Yes, I'm checking now.

It's okay, Abby. Go back to bed.

There's someone outside.

Look, I called it in, Abby.

They're gonna make a drive-by.

I just saw someone outside!

I heard you, and it's

gonna be okay. All right?

Abby, look, don't worry about it.

Abby.

Listen to me.

- Abby!

- Ethan. Are you okay?

He's scared.

This is why we stay

close to the house, okay?

Abby said she saw

someone outside.

It's the middle of the night.

Where were you?

Do you want to sleep

with Mommy tonight?

It's fine. I'll stay with him.

I want Abby.

Okay. You're both safe now.

Here, baby.

There she is. Have a seat.

How many pancakes do you want?

- Two's fine.

- Okay.

- Raymond, breakfast.

- I'll be right down.

He is in his office

at 6 every morning.

- I hope he doesn't wake you.

- Oh, no. I didn't hear him, it's fine.

I need some help around

the house today. Can I get...

...two volunteers?

Ethan, you...

You'll help Eve with the laundry, okay?

And I'll show you both how.

All right. Look, Ethan.

At the laundry. Okay.

What you wanna

make sure is...

Excuse me, Abby.

That's my father's gun.

His keepsake from the war.

Eve thinks I got rid of it, so:

All right, Ethan. You open it up, right?

Okay? See this?

And then what you wanna do

is you set the dials.

- Press?

- Okay. Yes.

Well, no, actually this one.

See, that one.

That's what you're gonna have to

ask your sister. Abby?

I'd like to say this only once.

Great. Okay. So then you have to

get detergent, which is up here.

All right. Down the stairs

all the way to the top...

...through that door is the attic.

A lot of work to do.

After you.

So, what do you think,

is it hot in here?

No.

- Not really.

- Well, this should be...

...the hottest room in the house.

Especially in summer.

That means all the hot air

is escaping.

- Isn't that a good thing?

- Well, no. Not in the winter.

I boarded this with new insulation

and you can help me with the rest.

Okay? Lose this window,

we'll make it airtight.

What do you think?

We'll do a little each day.

Be a nice way for us to

get to know each other.

- Okay.

- Good. Tell you what.

You... You can wear my tooI belt.

Leave it. It's okay.

I got plenty of those.

- Okay.

- Can you handle it?

Good.

David.

Why are you here?

You are never to come in here.

You promised, Abby.

Sorry.

Can you keep a secret?

- Yes.

- You sure?

Yeah.

Don't tell Eve.

Really, don't.

- Okay.

- Good.

Come on, now get out of here

before Eve finds you.

Abby, where are you going?

Walk.

It's lunchtime.

Oh, no, it's fine. I'll have

mine when I get back.

I don't want you wandering outside.
