- Hey.

Sorry, I was just checking

another incoming call.

I'm on my way.

I'll be there in half an hour.

Okay. I'll see you soon.

Was it Dad?

Alice. Sorry, honey.

- No, you're not.

- Oh, cut the attitude, Jacob.

Sit down.

I wanna talk to you about something.

I don't have to talk to you.

- Okay, that's it. I'm pulling the Wi-Fi.

- You can't do that!

You can get it back

when you start showing a little respect.

- Screw you!

- Don't...!

Don't you talk to me like that, okay?

I don't deserve that.

I am doing the best that I can here.

JACOB:
Dad wouldn't do this!

How do you know what your dad

would do? He's never here, is he?

Maybe if you left he'd come back!

He knows you only married him for money.

[III]

I hate you.

CHLOE:
Jacob?

Jacob?

[DOOR SLAMS]

I'm sorry.

Jacob.

Hey.

- Jacob, please come out.

- Go away.

I am so, so sorry

about what happened up there.

[CHLOE SIGHS]

Look, Jacob, I...

I don't have all the answers,

but I promise you I'm trying.

Just leave me alone.

Look, your dad is gonna be home soon.

But right now it's just you and me,

so let's not fight, okay?

Jacob?

I love you, buddy.

Don't call me buddy.

[III]

Hi. Can I help you?

Stand up.

- I don't want no problem.

- Then turn around.

Look, please.

Don't hurt me, mister, all right?

I got kids at home and a cat.

Don't worry.

Cats can take care of themselves.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Fell asleep playing a video game.

Oh, I thought you took the router away.

Well, there's a will there's a way.

I should be happy

he's not hacking into NORAD.

True.

I shouldn't be so hard on him.

He hates it here.

If only his birth mother didn't have

so many issues...

maybe she could help.

Can you imagine referring to your

own child as "the biggest mistake"?

Oh, and you know,

just not seeing him for eight years?

- Ugh.

- Thanks for coming over.

Especially on a night like this.

You had me at wine.

[LAUGHS]

So, uh, was 1961 a good year?

- Oh, please tell me you didn't.

- Ha-ha. I did.

OVER SPEAKERS]

ALICE:
She seemed so friendly...

CHLOE:
She's so sweet.

ALICE:
And it's really all about her.

CHLOE:
Wow. Oh.

Now tell me the truth,

is that a $6000 bottle of wine?

- That's what he said.

- Oh, God.

More money than sense, Chloe.

- Seriously. Ugh.

- I know. I know.

Is that on?

- Twenty-four/seven.

- It's always on? Wow.

Don't you think that's creepy?

Like Big Brother?

CHLOE:

David said he wanted us to feel safe.
