They know you're a rich kid.

They know your dad's

well connected.

When do you think

they're gonna cash in on that?

Look, I know

they made you feel special.

Accepted you...

But you're a smart kid.

I can tell you're smart.

Why can't you see

you're just a tool to them?

They prey on the weak,

that's their gig!

Hey, I'm talking to you...

F***!

What did you do?

Bite your f***ing tongue?

Here. We wouldn't want it

to get infected now, would we?

Open up your god damn mouth!

How about that?

There you go!

Now they'll know that at least

they gave you

a little first aid treatment

when you got injured.

Come here.

Let me clean you up.

There you go.

Yeah. There you go.

How could I ever

let this happen?

It's not your fault, Kath.

You always told me I babied

him too much.

I was too hard on him.

Justin's always

been the sensitive one.

I shouldn't have got so upset

with him when I found out that

he got her pregnant.

I should've just told him

to use rubbers years before.

Yeah as if it would've mattered.

I saw the pain attached

to his life.

He never recovered

from the divorce.

Yeah, I should've handled

that better too.

I'm the one that drove him

straight into their arms.

Andrew, I blame you for a lot

of things.

I don't blame you for this.

You're up, Samantha.

Leave the baby, just you.

- How's he doing?

- Look, there's a system to this.

We'll get through to him.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm just nervous.

There's nothing to be nervous

about, alright?

You're gonna go up there,

you're gonna talk to him

about the things we discussed.

Don't get too close to him.

There's some blood on his shirt,

but it's nothing.

- Okay, did he say anything or...

- No, so don't expect it.

- Okay.

- Just be strong.

Stick to what we talked about,

alright.

Okay.

Hey, Justin.

I wanted to apologize

for the last time I saw you.

I told you Zoey would be

better off without you but...

I didn't mean that.

I was just upset and I'm sorry.

Your parents have been

really great to us.

Me and Zoey, I don't...

I don't know what

I would have done without them.

And I know

that they freaked out at first,

but they love her so much.

You know we're... we're living

with your mom now.

She has plenty of room

and a nice house.

We really want you

to live with us too.

Zoey has your eyes.

He's lashing out due

to feelings of guilt.

Even fear of what the cult

itself might be thinking

about him right now.

It's a normal reaction.

He's torn

between two father figures.

Come on. This is all

just a waste of time.

So helping your brother

is just a waste of time?

Oh, you're gonna

psychoanalyze me

now Mr. tough love?
