[music]
- [grunts]
[both laughing]
- [grunts]
- [laughs]
[gasps]
[laughs]
Brad,
[laughs]
- Well? - [laughs]
Yes, [laughs]
- Yes?
- [laughs]
[giggles]
[music]
- [laughs]
[music]
- That ring looks good on you,
[music]
[car engine approaching]
- [gasps]
[sighs]
- You hear that?
It's a voice,
Tiny voice coming from under the hood saying,
"Save me, Taylor, Get me out of the showroom,
"Get me a real home,"
- I don't know,
- Here, Billy, go play with your Toca Life form,
What is not to like?
It's a convertible, fully loaded,
with a rearview camera,
I know how much you hate parallel parking,
Come on, It's practically,,,
- Don't say it, - ,,,Taylor-made,
- Worst pun ever,
- Or the best,
- Look, I told you,
I don't need a car,
I'm fine Uber-ing, - You are not Uber-ing
when you go back to school in the fall,
And if you don't go back to school--
- How am I ever gonna finish my teaching degree
and pay off my student loans?
- Oh, Do I really sound like Mom used too?
Yet, don't answer that, - [laughs]
Look, I appreciate you wanting to help out,
- It is not help,
Think of it like Mark and I getting you a Christmas gift
for the next 50,000 miles,
- It's way too much,
- Is it too much for me to want my little sister
out of our guestroom and back on her feet?
Taylor, I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way,
It's--
Mark and I can afford to help,
We want to help,
It's been six months since Brad--
Brad's accident,
We just want you to get back on track,
- Yeah, well, maybe I'm, I'm not ready,
- Look, you know you can stay with us as long as you want,
but at some point, you have got to face this,
It was a drunk driver, not you,
- I know,
Uh, and I know it's been six months,
So I'm moving out,
- Wait, you are?
- Yes, And don't laugh,
I have an interview with an au pair agency,
- Wait,
You're gonna be a, a live-in nanny?
- Look, I know it's not following
in your exact footsteps
and I know I'm putting my teaching career on hold,
- Yeah, - But I have the experience
and can earn great money,
Besides, you'll get a break
and it'll give me a chance to clear my head,
start over,
Okay, Cue the lecture,
how I'm an idiot and I'm wasting my life,
- You know what I think?
I think you're running away,
- Yeah, Maybe I am,
Or maybe this is how I move forward,
I have to try something,
[car horn blares]
- To be continued,
Billy, do not move,
- Hmm,
Uh-hmm,
Honey, how old are you, 28?
- Twenty-two,
- Close enough,
Taylor,
do you know how many girls sit in that chair and think
that just because they babysat
for their neighbor in high school,
they can be an au pair?
- Well, I nannied in college
for a year and half,
The Deckerds wrote a great letter of recommendation,
- I read it,
- Oh,
Do you need more? I can call the Matcotts,
I only watched Krista for five months--
- It's not about letters,
It's about you,
Do you really think you're ready to move
into an entirely new place with complete strangers?
The job is 24/7,
You don't punch in at 9:00 and out at 5:00,
There's no social life here,
You cook, you clean,
you give yourself over to another family completely,
- I know I can do this,
- I've heard that before,
- I really need this job,
- I've heard that too,
- Just stop writing for a second,
Look, this town
has too many bad memories,
Please,,,
I have to get as far away from this place as possible,
And this is the only way I know how,
- You know what? I like you,
You make eye contact,
you don't wear a lot of makeup,
and you talk in complete sentences,
So here's what I'm gonna do,
I just got a call from a family in Mill Valley,
They're desperate, it's a good gig,
the pay is above rate with room to grow,
And today's your lucky day,
All of my other girls are booked,
- Does that mean,,,
- I got a good feeling about you,
I'm gonna let you meet the Calebs,
- [laughs] - Don't get ahead
of yourself, missy,
I just can't give you the job,
you still need to meet the family,
I don't know a lot about the Calebs
except you would be their first au pair,
What I do know
is Dr, and Mrs, Caleb
are very private people,
- Oh, I can be discreet, - You'd better be,
It's a prerequisite,
Just remember,
as much as you've taken a chance on this family,
this family is taking a chance on you,
Don't screw it up,
[music]
[doorbell rings]
- Hey, you must be Taylor,
- Hi, yeah, That's me,
- Come on in, We've been expecting you,
Thanks for coming on such short notice,
- Oh, no problem, Great to be here,
- Right this way,
I'll go find my wife and we can have a little chat,
Please, have a seat,
[music]
[footsteps approaching]
- Taylor?
- Mrs, Caleb?
- Sit,
This won't take long,
It's my understanding from your resume
that you've never been an au pair before,
- Well, that's true,
- That's what I thought,
Don't take this the wrong way, dear,
But I have no idea why the agency
sent you,
I was very specific in my request,
It's disappointing,
They came so highly recommended
and my time is far too valuable
for this nonsense,
So I'm so sorry that you came all this way
for nothing but-- - Oh, you ladies have met,
Wonderful,
Allesandra, I was just looking for you,
This is Taylor,
- We've met,
- Taylor, truly,
we are both so glad you're here really,
We're in a pinch, We need some help,
Ain't that right, sweetheart? - Hmm,
- Mill Valley's a small community,
I'm a pediatrician,
With the retirement
of the only other doctor in town,
uh, I'm barely keeping up,
Now, Allesandra normally cares for our daughter,
but my wife is working on a really great project
due at the end of August,
Since it's summer,
Emily's already finished homeschooling,
um, she needs to be taken care of,
So, here you are,
- [laughs] Here I am,
If you don't mind me asking,
what's your big project, Allesandra?
- I'm writing a book,
- Oh, she's being humble,
It's more than just a book,
It's her life's work,
- [laughs] What's it about?
- That's confidential,
- Don't take it personally, Taylor,
She won't tell me either,
Not until it's finished at least,
But the good news is,
I've got a friend in publishing
who is very interested in reading the finished product,
which it will finally be,
thanks to you,
- John, it's not going to work out with Taylor,
- What do you mean?
- She doesn't have any around the clock experience,
I think the agency was confused
about how much care our little Emily needs,
- Is this true? Um, you're not gonna stay?
- Well, I've nannied before,
but yes, this would be my first time as an au pair,
- [sighs] Too bad,
We really need someone,
Honey, maybe this could be like one those of, uh,
on-the-job learning opportunities,
I--you do need to learn something, right?
- Normally I would agree,
but we need a professional,
Maybe you can come back in a year or two,
- Yes, of course,
I understand,
But since I did come all this way,
could I at least meet Emily?
- She doesn't take well to strangers,
- That's why we homeschool her,
But hey, at least let me pay for your Uber,
You did come out all this way,
- Thank you, I appreciate it,
- We'll walk you out,
- Hello,
- Emily, Honey, what are you doing
out of your room?
- I wanted to meet you,
- I'm Taylor, What's your name?
- I'm Emily,
- It's very nice to meet you, Emily,
- It's nice to meet you too,
- [laughs]
- Can Taylor stay and play?
- Oh, I'm afraid I can't, sweetie,
I have to go,
- You'll be back, right?
You're gonna live with us?
- Oh, I wish I could,
- Can she stay?
Please?
- You know what?
Yes,
- John? - Yes, she can,
I'm gonna go with my gut on this, honey,
We're all gonna give Taylor a chance,
So yes, she can stay,
That is, if you'd still like too?
- Yes, very much,
- Good, Good,
Then you can start right away,
- Welcome aboard,
[music]
- All right,
Go ahead, let me have it,
She seems like a nice girl,
If anybody should give her a chance,
it's us,
Oh, come on, we need this,
You need this,
That girl was your best chance of finishing your book
and you know it,
Besides, Emily adores her,
- I don't know,
There's something I don't like about her,
She seems perfect, too perfect,
and that's what scares me,
You put us at risk, it's on you,
[music]
- Do you know why I'm up here?
- Because I was supposed to stay in my room,
- And when Mommy tells you to do something?
- You always do as she says,
- And why is that?
- Because the boogeyman will come and take me away,
- Come here,
We've been through this, there's no such thing
as the boogeyman,
That's make-believe,
- But you said there was a bad man,
- Yes, I did,
He is real,
But we do everything we can to protect you from him,
everything,
you know that, don't you?
- I do, Mommy,
- And if Taylor does or says anything to scare you,
you will tell me right away, promise?
- I promise, Mommy,
- Good,
[music]
[crickets chirping]
- Look at this face, I mean,
are you really gonna choose some random girl
over your favorite nephew?
- Can't you stay here?
- Okay, how long did you two rehearse this?
- I have no idea what you're talking about,
- You can be so evil sometimes,
You're my favorite and I promise
I'll be back before you know it,
- How'd you do?
- She didn't buy it, - Dang,
Well, I am sure
that she will be back again to visit us soon,
She's good about stuff like that,
- Maybe you could give us a minute for some girl talk,
- Ooh,
Well, sorry throw to the wolves,
but I am powerless against this woman,
- [laughs]
- Hey, let's go watch some SpongeBob, okay, buddy?
Good luck, - Good luck,
- So,,,
who is Brad Hardwick dating this week?
Let--
I can't believe you still read that crap,
- Believe it, and don't worry,
I already forwarded my subscription to the Calebs,
- So you're really doing this?
- Kind of already signed the contract,
- I still think it's a mistake but,
you are my sister,
and I love you,
You know, ever since Mom died, it's just been you and me,
This will be the farthest we have ever been apart,
So no matter how much I don't want you to go,
I will support you,
And all your stuff will be in the garage
for whenever you wanna come home,
- Thanks, sis,
- All of this on one condition,
- [chuckles] What's that?
- I'm driving you tomorrow,
I wanna meet these people you're trading us in for,
- [chuckles]
Deal,
- Good,
Come watch SpongeBob when you're done,
- [chuckles]
[music]
- Wow,
Nice house,
No wonder you're ditching us,
- I think I can handle it from here,
- No way, I still need to check out the competition,
- Taylor? You're here,
Hi, I'm Dr, Caleb,
but if you're not a patient, you can call me John,
- Nice to meet you, I'm Kara,
Taylor's older and very protective sister,
- And she's just here to help with the bags
and then she's leaving, - Are you sure?
You could come in, relax, - I appreciate it,
but I've got a bit of a drive back,
Besides, Taylor told me this is curbside drop-off only,
- Well, thanks for bringing her out,
She's a lifesaver,
We feel very fortunate
to have your sister help us out,
Oh, Kara,
I'd like you to meet my wife, Allesandra,
Honey, say hello to Taylor's sister,
- It's a pleasure,
- Nice to meet you too,
- So my husband and I
both worked Pattison College,
if you need anything, anything, hmm,
we're only an hour away,
- Oh, then we'll be sure to call,
Taylor, I'll get your things, take them to your room,
give you two a minute,
- Thanks, - Thanks,
- I guess this is it,
- Guess so,
Man, is it just me or are they good-looking people,
like, intimidatingly
good-looking?
- Really? That's the worst you can come up with,
they're too good-looking?
- You're right, I should probably go in,
make sure it's up to my standards and,,,
- Uh-uh-uh, - Fine, fine,
Are you sure you're gonna be okay?
Last chance to back out, I can toss you in the trunk,
Barbie and Ken will never see you again,
- This is where I need to be,
This is where Brad would've wanted me,
have a fresh start,
- Okay,
Okay, Call or text me so I don't worry too much, okay?
And try and stay out of trouble,
- [chuckles] Come on,
what's the worst that could happen?
Hello?
[gasps]
- You're back,
- I am,
- Come see my room,
- Okay,
[music]
- Wow, it's really,,,
neat,
- Mommy says everything has to be in its right place
at all times,
I have to listen to what mommy says,
- She's right,
But, as long as we clean it up,
making a little mess can be fun,
[crickets chirping]
- Hey, Brad,
- Knock, knock,
Sorry to startle you,
This whole someone-new- in-the-house thing
is gonna take a little getting used to,
- No, it's okay,
I guess I have to get used to all this too,
- Allesandra's already started her writing sessions so,
why don't I give you the grand tour,
After all, this is your home now too,
- That would be great,
[music]
- Now, down there at the end of the hall,
that's the master bedroom,
My practice opens early with all the moms
bringing their kids in before school,
so I'm usually out of there first thing,
And that door there, that's Allesandra's office,
She's pretty insistent,
no visitors, no knocking,
She doesn't want anyone in there, even me,
I'd stay clear if I were you,
You don't wanna rock the boat with her too soon,
if you know what I mean?
- Got it,
- Good,
Then, on with the tour,
We try to limit Emily's television intake,
even then, we keep it to movies,
I mean, we prefer her reading,
because her intelligence,
oh, it's off the charts,
Now you already know where your room is,
And this is important, every night,
we lock Emily's door from the outside,
so she stays put, I know,
Weird, right, locking her in?
But it's not what you think,
it's for her own good, she sleepwalks,
So we make sure to lock it when we tuck her in,
Little troublemaker, she learned to climb out of her crib
before she was six months old,
With these stairs here,
we don't want anything happen to our little baby doll,
- No, we don't,
- Good,
You know, I think this is gonna work out, Taylor,
I really do,
Let's head downstairs,
Now that door,
that's my little escape,
My home away from home,
Emily knows it's off limits so,
I doubt you'll find yourself in there,
Now the kitchen, you should get to know,
- Bad news, Dr, Caleb,
Those cookies that you wife wasn't supposed to know about,
she knows about them,
Oh, hi,
- Luke, this is Taylor,
Emily's new au pair,
Luke works at the Automoon Market,
There's only two grocery stores in town so,
he stays pretty busy,
He delivers food here twice a week
and that's a huge timesaver for Allesandra,
and now for you,
- Oh, it's nice to meet you, Luke,
- Yeah, Nice meeting you too,
- Taylor's gonna be handling the cooking now,
so she'll put together the menu's with Allesandra
and she'll get you the orders,
And you're still planning on coming tomorrow, right,
to bring Taylor anything she wants?
- Yes, sir,
- Try sneaking a couple boxes of Mallomars,
I'll, uh, I'll handle the wrath of the missus,
- You got it,
Just text me,
I'll see you in the morning,
- Yeah, See you in the morning,
[thunder rumbles]
[music]
- You're not doing it right,
- Oh? How should I do it?
- With your little finger like this,
I'm surprised you don't know that since you're so old,
- So old?
How old do you think I am?
- Twenty-two, But I already knew that,
Mommy told me,
- Twenty-two is not old,
Hey, Emily?
- Yeah? - Did you go in my room?
- No, - You sure?
If you wanted to borrow my magazine cover,
you just need to ask,
- What magazine cover?
- You know what? Forget about it,
It was probably my nephew,
He's always causing trouble,
- You have a nephew? What's his name?
- Billy, He's a little younger than you,
You'll like him,
- So why didn't you go to college?
- Did your mom ask you to ask me that?
- No, I'm just naturally curious,
- Oh, Well, I did go, to be a teacher,
In fact, I only have a year left,
- Why did you stop?
- Life had other plans for me,
[phone rings]
- Nap time,
Oh, come on, We have the entire summer to play,
Besides, I need to start dinner,
- Don't forget to lock or Mom will get mad,
- Oh, I won't,
[door lock clicks]
[music]
- Where's Emily?
[glass breaks]
- [yells]
- Taylor,
- I'm sorry to disturb you,
I, um,
just wanted to make sure you're okay
with the chicken piccata for dinner and then I heard,,,
- You were explicitly told to stay away from my office,
correct?
And Dr, Caleb already okayed tonight's menu, correct?
That's what I thought,
It would be wise for you to remember
that I didn't want you for this job
and I still don't,
If you wish to keep working here, remember,,,
my office is off-limits,
[door slams]
[music]
- Don't worry about it,
She's fine,
- But her food's getting cold,
- It's okay,
It happens sometimes,
- Allesandra, she, she can go on her writing benders
for hours on end,
She skips meals,
Well, she skips a lot, actually,
We both gotten used to it,
But that's why you're here,
Right, Em? - Yup, And you cook well, too,
Better than Daddy,
- [laughs] - Hold on, now,
I'm a good cook,
- You're good at microwaving stuff,
But that's not really cooking,
- [laughs]
- Trust me,
Allesandra will be in a great mood
once she finishes writing,
She's just gotta get it out on the page,
You'll see,
[crickets chirping]
- You brushed your teeth, right?
- And flossed,
- Oh, look at you,
So responsible, it's like you don't even need me anymore,
- Yeah, I do,
- Oh, Sweetie, it's okay,
I'm here,
- But I heard mommy yelling at you,
- Oh, honey, no,
I made a mistake,
That's all,
It's gonna be fine,
- If you don't listen to what she says,
the boogeyman's gonna come and take you away,
- The boogeyman?
My mom used to check the closet for monsters for me, too,
- She doesn't anymore?
- Well, not since I got big,
- Where is she now?
- She got really sick,
Then she's not with us anymore,
- She's better now, right?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey,
It's okay,
When my mom passed away, my big sister
took good care of me,
And I learned from the best,
That's why I'm gonna take good care of you,
Because we're friends,
- You don't understand,
The boogeyman's gonna come and take you away
and I don't want you to go,
- I'm not going anywhere, Okay?
- Promise?
- Promise,
Now get some sleep and dream up some fun stuff
for us to do in the morning,
- Don't forget to lock the door,
- Uh, right,
No sleepwalking for you tonight,
- I don't sleepwalk,
- Uh, of course you don't,
I was just making a joke,
Good night,
[door lock clicks]
- Taylor,
Dr, Caleb and I would like you to join us downstairs,
- Okay, Sure,
- Follow me,
[piano playing]
- John?
- Ah, round three, my dear?
- Yes,
- You got some catching up to do,
What can I get you?
- Uh, champagne's great,
- Oh, - Thank you,
- Whoa, Hey, there we go,
We got more in the wine cellar,
- So what are we celebrating?
- To your arrival, coinciding with a breakthrough
day on the book, Two whole chapters,
[glass clinks]
Hmm,
- I'm so happy to hear you finally made some progress,
- Yes,
I've had a wave of inspiration,
- I'll say, Couple more weeks like that
and we'll have that book done by the end of August for sure,
- Hmm, I love this song,

It's fine,
- I, I'm sorry, I,,,
- No, I'm the one who's sorry,
She hates that song, Bad memories,
There's no way you could've known,
Well, I guess this is good night,
[crickets chirping]
[music]
- Taylor, - [gasps]
- I wanna talk to you about last night,
- Oh, I'm so sorry about the song,
- No, I'm the one who's sorry,
John calmed me down,
He's right,
There's no way that you could have known that,
that,,,
song reminds me of someone,
Someone who is very special to me,
that it did a lot of heartbreak,
Do you know what I mean?
- Oh, I do,,,
more than you know,
- Taylor, besides a much needed apology,
I wanted to talk to you about something,
Girl to girl,
Dr, Caleb, [clears throat]
John, he's very fond of you,
A wife can tell and when two people of the opposite sex
are in very close intimate quarters,,,
- Oh, Allesandra, I would never,,,
- Never say never,
My husband is a very charming man,
Sometimes too charming, But I want you to know
that we have a very unorthodox agreement,
Should something happen between the two of you,
I want you to know I'm fine with it,
- You're fine with it?
- Uh-hmm,
We are very secure in our marriage,
What's most important to us is Emily,
that she is safe and protected,
So, if you can do that for us,
if something happens, it happens,
Okay, then,
I want Emily bathed and clothed before 9:00
so that she can work on her math worksheets,
I'll be in my office,
- Need a hand?
- Sure,
How are you settling in?
- I think okay so far,
- Must be pretty strange living with people you never met?
- It's takes getting used to,
But I'm sure you know the Calebs well, right?
- Not as well as you think,
- What do you mean?
- I mean, they're pretty quiet folks,
They keep to themselves,
Dr, John's got his practice and he's pretty well-liked,
He does sponsor the high school football team every year,
but no one ever really sees Allesandra,
- Really? - Yeah,
And Mill Valley is a small town,
I mean, everybody knows everybody,
except for the Calebs,
You know what, my parents said they don't even remember
seeing her pregnant with Emily,
Anyway, you should come into town sometime,
Visit me at the store,
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah,
And you can bring Emily along,
I feel like I know her from what she eats,
but I've never actually met her in person,
It's almost like they keep her locked in a basement
or something,
Oh, hey, maybe this will convince you,
We got some really great homemade ice cream,
It's all local ingredients,
- I didn't know that,
- Well, now you do,
- [chuckles] Well, if you have rocky road,
then you might just convince me,
- Oh, we got it,
Let me see if I can get you a discount,
- Then, we'll stop by,
- Yeah,
[music]
- A Tale of Two Cities?
- It's on my reading list,
- I think I read that in high school,
What kind of list is this?
- My mom made it,
- [scoffs] Why am I not surprised?
You know, reading time was finished 20 minutes ago,
How about a game?
- But I just started a new chapter,
- I thought you were gonna dream of something fun for us to do?
- Wanna watch a movie?
- Now that's an idea,
What kind of movies do you like?
- What kind do you like? - Me?
I like a good romance,
Anything that tugs on the heartstrings, I'm in,
Have you ever seen Overnight Sensation?
- No, What's that one?
- Oh, It's my absolute favorite,
And it stars the dreamiest actor ever, Brad Hardwick,
- Who's he?
- [chuckles] Oh, Emily,
I know what we're watching,
[laughs]
- I don't know how you did it,
but thank you,
- Just kept my eyes in the road,
- Well, I couldn't have done it without you,
- This is a good movie,
- I hope your parents don't kill me
for showing it to you, - They won't,
I could watch movies, even PG-13 ones,
Just not TV,
Daddy said, "It's the opium of the masses,"
- Do you even know what that means?
- No, But Daddy thinks I do,
- Well, there's a lot more Brad Hardwick
where this came from,
I used to watch this with my sister,
Overnight Sensation 2, Overnight Sensation 3,
Overnight Sensation 4,
I own all of them,
I have so much to teach you,
- What is this?
- It's just a movie, I hope that's okay,
Dr, Caleb said it was,
- Where did it come from?
- It's mine, I brought it, - You?
You brought this filth into my home?
- Mommy, stop,
- And look, now you've upset my daughter,
We do not allow his movies in this house,
We do not speak his name,
He does not exist,
I need to go write,
Get rid of this movie immediately,
- Just because he's on your Top Five Men I'd Sleep With list
doesn't mean everyone likes Brad Hardwick, sis,
- Isn't he on your list too? - Of course,
Honey, can I have sex with Brad Hardwick?
- It depends, Can I have sex with Margot Robbie?
- We'll talk about it, I think you're right,
if you don't wanna have sex with Brad Hardwick,
you got a screw loose,
- And what about her basically telling me
I can sleep with her husband?
- That's weird,
But at least he's hot, right?
- I'm still here, - I love you, babe,
Hey, stop with your nails,
I told you to stop doing that years ago,
- I'm sorry, It's just a lot,
Them locking Emily in at night,
Allesandra's weird girl talk,
snapping at the movie, my music,
maybe I'm getting [indistinct] fever,
- What was the name of that song again?
- Love Kill, Why?
- Isn't that the song from the Brad Hardwick movie
Bad Affair? - What's it?
- Yeah, It is,
It's not like I like watching his movies,
- Of course not, - Holy crap, you're right,
- That is coincidence, - Yeah,
This may sound strange, but did you see Billy
with my magazine cover?
- Just the cover?
No, Why?
- Wait, wasn't that the one with Brad Hardwick on it?
- Yeah,
And someone tore it off,
- Okay, My weird-o-meter is officially kicking in,
Do you want us to come get you?
- You know what?
No, I need to stick this out,
Like you said, I can't keep running away from things,
Besides, with Dr, Caleb gone all day
and Allesandra acting so weird,
the little girl needs me,
I'm gonna stay,
[music]
- Hey, are you ready? - Almost,
- Oh, here, let me help,
It looks perfect on you,
So, I was thinking,
instead of sitting around and reading War and Peace
or whatever is next on your reading list,
let's have a little adventure,
I hear the Autumn Moon Market has really good ice cream,
- I love ice cream,
- Let's have a field trip then,
You can have ice cream, right?
- Uh, yeah,
- [chuckles] Good,
[music]
- Wow! Look at all that ice cream,
- You've never been here before?
- Hey, you made it,
And you must be Emily? I'm Luke,
- Luke, I know you,
Mom says you're the one that always bruises the apples,
- Hey, that only happened once,
But it's nice to finally meet you in person,
- It's nice to meet you too,
- Um, I believe I was promised rocky road?
- And rocky road you shall have,
And Emily, what can I get you?
- Hmm, Cookie dough,
- Cookie dough it is, Two scoops coming up,
Rocky road and cookie dough,
- Hmm,
[music]
- Hey, are you okay?
- Uh, yeah, Yeah, I'm good,
- I was beginning to think you didn't like it,
- Oh, no, it's delicious, What do you think, Emily?
- I think we're coming back tomorrow,
- [laughs]
- Maybe you guys can back a little earlier,
have some lunch,
There's a really great pizza place around the corner,
- Pizza?
We're definitely coming back,
- [laughs] We'll have to check our calendar,
[music]
- Brad,
- It's Taylor, I can't [indistinct]
- I think you're being too hard,
- Look, I can't [indistinct] hard enough,
- Keep your voice down, You're gonna wake up Emily,
- I don't care,
- [sighs] That's it, I'm done,
I'm going to bed, You're acting crazy,
- Why do you keep taking her side?
- I'm not taking her side,
- Then you're ignoring everything,
Her late night phone calls, her trip to town,
- But I'm sure there's a simple explanation,
She's probably talking to her sister,
Remember her sister?
- How do you even know that was her sister
and not some strange girl?
It could have been anybody,
And if that's not enough, I overheard her, John,
I overheard her talking to the grocery boy,
She was asking about us, She was asking about Emily,
- She was asking about Emily?
- Yes,
She's everything that we have been afraid of, John,
We let this girl in our house
and she is taunting us,
The movie, the magazine, the song,
she's rubbing it in our face, John,
She knows,
And you know what that means?
That means Brad knows,
He knows where we are and he's coming for our Emily,
Is that what you want?
- Taylor?
- Emily, what are you doing out of your room?
I forgot to lock, Come on,
You got to get some sleep, okay?
Emily, she, she had a nightmare,
- What?
Come on, Kara, Pick up, Pick up,
Very funny, Billy, Put your mom on,
- How did you know it was me? - 'Cause you're with braces,
Get your mom,
- When are you coming to visit?
- Soon, I hope, - Mom,
- Go get ready, Go get ready,
Pants, pants, Hey, sorry,
I'm late for work, Can I call you later?
- No, It can't wait,
- Is everything okay?
- Can Mark just look at those DNA test
to the lab at school, like,
when you guys did his family tree?
- Honey, I'm, I'm in a rush,
Can we talk to you in an hour or two later?
- No, It's not for me, It's for Emily,
- Wait, the daughter?
- There's something weird going on here,
Something they don't want anyone to know about,
I think they're hiding Emily from someone,
- Why would they do that?
- It sounds crazy, but,,,
I think they abducted Emily from her real parents,
Now, I, I can't prove it yet,
But it has something to do with Brad Hardwick,
- You're right, that does sound crazy,
- That's why I need the DNA test,
It's the only way to know if she's really their daughter,
- Are you serious about this? - I think she's in trouble,
Please, I wouldn't ask if I didn't believe this is real,
- I have the instructions on my desk on campus,
I'll text them,
But Taylor, if this is true,
you need to be careful, okay?
Or else it's not just that little girl
who's gonna be in trouble,
- Okay,
Wanna play a game?
- Sure, Which one?
- Ain't you good at hide and seek?
Ninety, ninety-one, ninety-two,
ninety-three, ninety-four,
ninety-five, ninety-six,
ninety-seven, ninety-eight,
ninety-nine, a hundred,
Ready or not, here I come,
[music]
- Bingo,
- What are you doing in my bedroom?
- Alessandra,
I, I didn't mean to disturb you,
Um, we were just playing hide and seek,
- Emily knows better than to play in there,
- Boo!
I win, You couldn't find me,
- I guess you did, honey,
- I think it's time to play a different game,,,
downstairs,
- Come on, Let's do as your mom says,
[music]
- Hey, Emily, I'll be right back,
Hey, - Hey,
- Thanks for coming, - Yeah, of course,
I mean--but do you really think that the people
who live in a house like this would abduct a child?
- I don't know,
Hopefully you can find out, - Yeah,
I'll rush this through as fast as I can, okay?
- Thanks,
[music]
- How's the water?
- Perfect,
- Good,
We don't use it enough,
Cost of fortune,
usually just sits here with cover on,
- [chuckles]
- I'm glad someone's finally enjoying it,
Alessandra, she's burning the midnight oil again,
- [laughs]
- And I hate drinking alone,
Since Emily's in bed,
I feel like you'd like to join me,
- And what are we celebrating this time?
- Well, the longer you stay here,
the more you will realize we don't really need
a reason to celebrate to drink around here,
- [chuckles]
- Cheers,
[music]
- Speaking of staying,
I want you to know I like having you around,
When I saw you last night, I,,,
- Again, I'm so sorry about that,
- Oh, no, No, don't be,
I wasn't mad,
Actually, it was quite the opposite,
I couldn't stop thinking about you,
- But Dr, Caleb,,,
- No, please call me John,
Taylor, look,
I know about the conversation you had with Alessandra
about if anything's happened,
- You do?
- Yeah,
We have an agreement,
We both had our own indiscretions,
Hey,,,
I know how hard it is
by yourself out here
cut off from the world,
You can get pretty lonely,
Taylor, you don't have to be lonely,
I can help with that,
- I can't,
- Is there someone else?
- Yes, kind of,
- Is it Brad?
- How do you know about Brad?
- Something Emily said I think,
- I didn't tell Emily about him,
- Well,
you never know what you'll figure out,
She's smart like that,
- Yeah, She is,
Um, I'll actually go to bed,
I thank you for the drink,
- Yeah,
[music]
- You saw the whole thing?
- Of course,
- You're right,
She's hiding something about Brad,
- I told you,
- Sorry, I didn't listen sooner,
- None of that matters now,
The question is
what are we going to do about it?
- [humming]
[grunts]
- Don't move,
Or I'll break your arm in three places,
I don't want money,
I don't wanna rob the store,
But we're gonna walk to that car over there,
And you're not gonna fight me, not if you understand,
- [trembles] [grunts]
- Hello, Luke,
You'll be coming with us,
We've got lots to talk about,
- I hope you brought more ice cream,
Oh, hi,
I thought you were Luke, - Yeah,
Well, the Calebs requested someone else,
But don't worry I can carry bags just like him though,
Where do you want them?
- You reached Luke, leave a message,
- Hey, it's Taylor,
We missed you today,
Call me when you get this,
- Good,
The groceries are on time,
Nothing missing?
- I don't think so,
What happened to Luke?
The new guy said you requested someone else,
- Yes, I did,
- Can I ask why?
- Because I can,
I know you took Emily to the market
to visit Luke without our permission,
- I didn't know I needed permission,
- From now on, you will not take Emily off the property,
Do I need to remind you that we are paying you
to take care of our daughter at home,
- No, Allesandra,
I understand,
- Good,
And take care of the groceries,
Oh, and Taylor, Dr, Caleb and I are going out tonight,
He's getting an award from the town,
- Oh,
That's wonderful,
- It is,
I hope we can trust you to stay at home
without making any mistakes,
[music]
- Daddy!
- Hey, princess,
Oh,
[laughs] Ah,
It's like you're all having fun,
- We are,
I beat Taylor three times,
- Good,
Because we Calebs hate to lose,
You're about ready to go?
- Yes,
As soon as we tuck Emily in,
[music]
- Mommy and daddy have an important night outs,
We need you to stay in your room no matter what, okay?
- Okay,
- That's my girl,
[music]
- Oh, my God,
- Excuse me?
- Oh, nothing,
I just hope you guys have a good night,
[crickets chirping]
[music]
- Oh, my God,
- Hey, it's Kara, eave a message,
- Kara, my weirdometer officially just went off,
Come, get me now,
The evidence is solid and irrefutable,
We know she's working with Brad,
They thought they had us fooled
but we're smarter than they think,
We know what they're trying to take from us
and that's why we set a trap,
A trap to catch Taylor in the act,
and the stupid girl took the bait
went inside my office,
- And broke the rules,
I knew it,
I knew it all along,
- [pants]
[screams]
[groans]
- I always knew he would try to find me,
Its resources are endless,
It was inevitable,
We were always so careful
and then we let you into our lives,
- Allesandra wanted an au pair with experience,
whose history could easily be verified,
She seemed so nice,
I never thought he'd send someone into our own home,
- But he did,
- I'm just gonna ungag you,
- [groans]
- We have questions,
like how long have you been working for him?
- Work for him,
I don't even know a Brad Hardwick,
- Liar,
- We saw your phone,
We found a contact card,
You even told us last night that you had a relationship with him,
remember? - What?
No, I, I was talking about my fiance,
- Fiance?
- Yeah,
- You, you're engaged?
- I was,
But he died,
[groans]
- More lies,
She is trying to manipulate us
like Brad manipulated me,
- I'm not, I swear,
- You can't fool me,
I know him,
I fell for him too,
When he smiles that charming smile,
you'll do anything for him,
And when he touches you,
your whole body melts
and then you realize what he did to you,
and how much it hurt,
- Eight years ago,
I was deep into my residency,
I was selfish, never around,
Allesandra, she was alone almost always,
And Brad Hardwick,
yeah, he was in town shooting a movie,
- Over time,
John has forgiven me,
But I am reminded of my infidelity
every single day,
- You mean, Emily,
- Have you told Brad about her yet?
- I told you,
I've never even met Brad Hardwick,
I don't know him,
- I was afraid you'd say that,
- Oh, God,
- I need you to be honest with us, Taylor,
So, I don't wanna use these,
but I will,
It'll hurt
- [gasps]
- You should know
I'll do anything to protect my family,
- [gasps]
[doorbell rings]
- Who the hell is that?
- Stay here and be quiet,
- May we help you?
- Hi,
I'm Kara,
Remember me, I'm Taylor's sister,
I just had to drop something off,
Is she here?
- No, I'm sorry, she's not,
She's out,
- Really? You're sure?
Because she left me a voicemail,
It sounded pretty urgent,
[music]
- Taylor, are you okay? - Emily, thank God,
Listen, I need you to cut this ties, okay?
Use that, It's like a knife,
- Is mommy mad?
Is the boogeyman coming for you?
- No, sweetie, Mommy and daddy
is just really confused, okay?
They think I did something wrong,
but I didn't,
Do you believe me?
- I don't like it when mommy's mad,
- I don't either,
That's why we're gonna fix this, okay?
Wait, How did you get out of your room?
I thought your parents locked the door,
- I know how to open it from inside,
Don't tell them, okay?
- So, that's how you got out the other night?
Oh, you are a very clever girl,
I need you to be clever for me one more time, okay?
You need to find a really good hiding spot,
one where only I can find you,
Any ideas?
- Are you gonna leave me?
- No,
I promise I won't,
- She's out with the grocery boy?
Wow,
Pickings are slim in Mill Valley,
- Yeah,
Well, thanks for coming out,
We'll give her the package,
Now, if you'll excuse us,
- Kara! - Taylor?
Taylor run!
- Go! Find her,
Go! - [groans]
- [grunts]
- Taylor!
Taylor, where are you?
- Kara!
- [pants] Oh, God,
We got to get out of here,
- No, no without Emily, Kara, I was right,
Her father is Brad Hardwick,
- There is no way that Brad Hardwick
is that little girl's father,
- Oh, this is the DNA test? - Yeah,
- [gasps]
- [screams] - Kara!
[panting]
- It's over,
- Feel free to scream all you want,
We're too far from town,
No one can hear you,
- [pants]
- Not even Brad,
- Your actions have consequences,
Remember, you did this to your friends,
- Oh, God,
Luke, What did you do?
- What we had to,
I got to give him credit,
He never gave you away,
- Now, you're gonna watch them burn,
- We know Luke was your contact,
All the secret meetings,
we couldn't risk him reporting back,
I won't let Brad take Emily and Allesandra,
I told you, I'll do anything to protect my family,
- You're wrong,
Do you really care about Emily?
Open this envelope,
- What is that?
- The DNA test will prove exactly
who Emily's parents are,
- What the hell is she talking about?
- Don't listen to her, You don't need to look at that,
I carried Emily inside of me,
I am her mother,
- But is Brad Hardwick really her father?
John, you've blamed yourself for so long,
All you have to do is open that envelope,
Don't you wanna know for sure?
- More of Brad's lies,
- All this time,
All this time?
You said Brad was her father,
You said that this movie star
has been chasing us all these years,
Oh, my God,
How can I be so blind?
How could I let you manipulate me like this?
This whole time it was me,
I'm Emily's father,
- It's fake,
It has to be, - It's not,
- Shut up, - It's not a fake, I could tell,
- Shut up!
No,
This is,,,
this is exactly what Brad wanted,
He wanted to put a wedge between us
and then he would swoop in,
- Don't tell me no more lies,
Was Brad Hardwick really in town filming a movie?
Did you really sleep with him?
- Yeah,
- Did you even meet him?
Or was it all just to make me jealous?
Oh, my God,
What happened?
You told one lie and it just kept growing
and growing?
And you kept it going all these years?
You're insane,
You know what the worst thing is?
I believed you,
I believed your lies for so long
because you're my wife,
You're the one person in the world that I should be
able to trust and you broke that,
You broke it for what?
You made us move out here,
hiding from the world,,,
hiding from a man
who doesn't even know you exist,
All the sacrifices I made for you,,,
all the things you made me do,
You made me kill him to protect Emily,
I trusted you,
[music]
- Enough is enough,
We have to pay for your lies,
We have to pay for what we've done,
I am so sorry,
I didn't know, I didn't know,
I'm so sorry,
I'm sorry,
- I knew she would get to you eventually,
No one [indistinct] he gets to everybody,
You said you would protect us, John?
If you can't, I will,
I will do whatever it takes to protect Emily,
Whatever it takes,
- Oh, my God,
- Don't worry,
You're next,
- [panting]
[grunts]
- Where do you think you're going?
- Allesandra, please,
Look, I don't know what happened
between you and Brad Hardwick,,,
but I know you're in pain,
You can't keep looking back,
I did the same thing,
I ran away when I should've stayed
and faced the past,
But I'm ready to let go,
I'm ready to move on and if I can do it,
you can to,
- He would have you say that,
- Mommy, what did you do to daddy?
You lied to me,
You were the boogeyman,
- No, no,
I'm won't let--
he can't win,
He can't win,
He can't take her,
I won't let him
take her from me,
Oh, I won't let you,
- Emily, run,
- [grunts]
[music]
- [gasps]
[panting]
Close your eyes honey,
- Don't leave me,
- I won't, ever,
[birds chirping]
- Come on,
[indistinct chatter]
- I am so sorry,
I should've listened to you,
about everything,
You can't run from your past,
no one can,
You were right,
Oh, come on,
Say something,
- You should know by now,
I'm always right,
[laughter]
- But I'm putting my foot down,
Your Au Pair days are over,
You're going back to school,
- I couldn't agree with you more,
- You must be Emily,
- Emily, this is my big sister Kara,
I think you'll be seeing a lot more
of each other,
[music]
- Are you glad I made you get this car?
- You were right,
It's Taylor-made,
- [chuckles]
You got this,
Right guys?
- Totally,
- Hell, yeah,
- Billy, language,
All right,
You are gonna be fine,
- I know I will,
I'm ready,
[music]
- All right who's hungry?
- I am, - Me,
- Good,
[music]
