Maybe.

Okay, great chatting

with you as always.

I'm pretty sure

it's gonna snow.

So it might be a good excuse

for you to go inside now.

[man]

What are you measuring?

Uh, it's to optimize

your installation.

[man] Yeah, but how?

[worker]

So I can put the router here.

[man] What if we want it

in the kitchen?

[worker]

Sure, yeah, cool.

Could've just told me where you

wanted it off the top,

but it's all good.

How was your night

last night, Zoe?

Uh, okay so just right here

by the, uh, phone?

- [man] It's fine, Greg-

- Yes, thank you.

My night was fine.

Good.

What'd you two talk about?

Is there a problem?

Have you guys talked

about this already?

[Eleanor] She has to live

across the street from him.

[Zoe] I know, but I don't

really understand

why you guys don't

feel bad for him.

If there's nothing

to talk about,

there's no need

to get defensive.

There is, though,

'cause all of a sudden,

I feel like

I'm betraying my family.

What are you worried about?

I don't understand.

I'm only worried

if there's reason to worry.

But if you're telling us not,

that's the end of it.

So, going to the parade still?

Yep.

[bright music playing]

[woman singing operatically

in foreign language]

[singing continues softly

on stereo]

[gas hissing softly]

Can I get you anything, Mom?

- Want some coffee?

- No, I'm fine.

Can I take your coat?

No.

Okay.

Uh, that was Eleanor

who dropped you off?

Yes.

- How's she doing?

- She's well.

- Oh, good.

- Mm-hmm.

I guess I should come out

with it and...

and tell you I'm sorry

I didn't visit you in there.

No need.

Okay.

So you, uh...

you have a grandson.

I saw the picture.

I didn't know.

- Yeah.

- Ah.

Dylan.

Dill, I call him.

Ah.

Dill.

So that's Kathleen's kid?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'd like to

meet him some time.

Mmm.

So you're doing crafts.

You work in a craft, like...

Craft store.

- Oh, do you like working there?

- I do, yeah.

And you never thought about

going back to bookkeeping then?

No. No.

When did you quit

at the plant?

Uh, not long after.

A few weeks.

That was fast.

Yeah.

Did anybody ever ask any

questions, like why you quit?

Well... in the normal

process of leaving, sure.

I just said

"personal reasons."

I didn't mean in the company.

Uh, Wendy,

you don't have to do that.

No, it's okay.

Mom doesn't mind.

What do you mean,

you didn't mean the company?

The police?

I didn't talk to the police.

What about Mark Loekner?

No, I have not spoken

to Mark Loekner.

I guess...

I can only guess at

what you saw that day

when you walked

into that room

and the kind of hatred

that would cause.

But I'd rather be 99% sure

than the full 100.
