What?

Why didn't you wake me up?

I did right now. You're up.

- Are we in trouble?

- No, I-I'm in trouble.

That guy's gonna throw

my sorry ass in jail.

Well, maybe we can

ask him not to.

What?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

My boyfriend ran that way

when he saw your lights

'cause he thinks you're gonna

throw his sorry ass in jail.

All right, ma'am.

I need you to step

out of the vehicle.

Um, actually,

I think I'd rather stay inside.

Ma'am?

Um, there's no water

in the toilet,

so we can't flush.

Ugh.

Lord, have mercy.

What's your boyfriend's name?

His name?

Yeah, his name.

Beaver.

Did you say beaver?

Beaver.

Beaver was my daddy's name.

Really?

Get back in the vehicle.

Hey. He went out in

the woods to go look for you.

I'll be right back.

- What did you do?

- I threw his keys away.

Why?

'Cause if you go to jail,

we can't be together.

You are hardcore.

- I am?

- Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

I'm so hungry.

Yeah, me too.

And I have to go big potty.

You're not getting cold,

are you?

- Hi.

- Hey, there.

- How are you?

- Come on over.

- I'm Dave Walachowski.

- I'm Jay.

- M-my girlfriend, Daisy.

- Daisy.

Our bathroom is broken.

You want to use ours?

Yeah, go ahead.

Then come on

and join us by the fire.

So, where you headed, Jay?

- Uh, Los Angeles.

- So are we!

We're going to Hollywood

to see Howie Mandel.

Mm.

Deal or no deal?

Uh...

Deal... Or no deal?

Uh, deal?

God, I love that show.

And plus we're gonna get

to see her mom.

She has dementia.

Oh.

Time to put this one to bed.

She's such an angel.

When she's asleep, yeah.

The moment she wakes up,

she's the devil.

You'll have one someday

and you'll see.

All right, lovie.

We should probably hit the sack.

It's, uh... it's getting late.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Appreciate it.

Hey.

You've been thinking

about having sex with me,

haven't you?

Uh

Um...

It's okay.

I'm a virgin.

Yeah, I... I thought so.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure.

Did you really have sex

with somebody's wife?

Who, uh...

who told you about that?

Some people at the wedding.

He said something

about your balls, too.

Okay.

Did you have sex

with somebody's wife?

Yeah, I did.

Is that why your dad

is so mad at you?

Well, he's got so many reasons.

But, yeah.

Who was she?

She was the wife of a man

who could have made my family

a lot of money.

She also happened to be

very beautiful and very lonely.

Did you love her?

You know, you're the only

one that's ever asked me that.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Basic human emotions

are not my strong suit.

Good night.

Well, maybe I am a crook

for stealing your heart away

yeah, maybe I am a crook

for not caring for it

yeah, maybe I'm a bad,

bad, bad

bad person

well, baby, I know

and these fingertips

will never run through

your skin

and those bright blue eyes

can only meet mine

across the room

filled with people

that are less important

than you

all 'cause you love,

love, love

when you know I can't love

you love, love, love

when you know I can't love

you love, love, love

when you know

I can't love you

So I think it's best

we both forget

before we dwell on it

This is...

The best day of my life.

The way you held me so tight

all through the night

till it was near morning

'cause you love, love, love

when you know I can't love

you love, love, love

when you know

I can't love you

Do we have to go back?

Can't we just go somewhere else?

I'm in a lot of trouble, Daisy.

That's why we shouldn't go back.

Yeah. I, uh...

I owe some people

a lot of money.

If I had any money,

I'd give it to you.

'Cause you love, love, love

when you know I can't love

you love, love, love

when you know

I can't love you

I'm gonna teach you

how to drive.

Oh, no.

Yes.

Let's recap.

To start, brake, jiggle gas, go.

That's easy, right?

No, that's hard.

You'll be fine.

Now drive us

to the other end of the lot.

No.

Daisy, it's okay.

I'm right here.

Start, brake, jiggle gas, go.

You can do this.

Oh! No!

No, no, no, no, no.

I c... I can't.

I can't do things

like other people.

What do you think you've

been doing the last few days?

Things.

It's only because

I've been with you.

No, it's not.

You followed me

out of the hospital.

You flew in a plane.

You danced at a wedding.

You even outsmarted

a state trooper.

He wasn't very smart.

No, he wasn't very smart,

but still.

Daisy, you can do anything

in the world... anything.

You just have to want to.

Where is she?

It's okay.

I'm bringing her back.

Son, do you

realize what you've done?

I haven't done anything.

She followed me out of

the hospital like a lost puppy.

What was I supposed to do

with her?

Contact

a mental health professional.

Didn't occur to me.

Honestly, at this point

I'm almost more concerned

about you.

You're facing

serious charges now.

You know they can find you.

Doc, don't worry

about that, okay?

I'm gonna bring her back to you,

okay?

I promise I'm gonna

bring her back.

Y-you said no more phone calls.

Daisy.

Daisy!

Wheeler,

what's happening? Wheeler?

Hey!

Daisy!

Daisy! Daisy!

Daisy! Brake for slow!

Daisy! Hit the one on the left

and stop and talk to me!

Daisy!

You got to brake for slow,

remember?

Brake for slow!

You never wanted to be

my boyfriend!

It was all just pretend!

Yes, I did! Yes, I did!

Of course I did!

Daisy, please!

You're driving in circles!

Like, literally in circles!

Daisy, stop!

You're driving like

a crazy person!

I'm not a crazy person!

Stop! Daisy!

Aah!

Daisy!

Daisy!

It's all right.

It's all right.

You okay?

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

We got to get out of here, okay?

We don't have the money

to pay for this.

Can I ask you something?

Did you kill your mother?

Yes.

Were there voices?

Did voices tell you to do it?

No.

No, the voices...

they didn't tell me things.

They told my mother things.

So, you don't hear voices.

Your mother did.

Yeah.

Yeah, they used to tell her

things all the time.

And sometimes

it was just silly stuff, but...

Mostly it was scary.

That's why she yelled

all the time.

But, um...

One night, she...

She just screamed

and screamed and...

I didn't go to her.

And then when I woke up

in the morning, she was dead.

Daisy, that is not you

killing your mother.

That is her dying.

You need to stop saying

you killed your mother

because you didn't.

You didn't kill her.

Why do I have to go back

to the hospital then?

I never wanted to take you back.

That's not real though, is it?

That's just pretend.

Yeah.

It is.

I did want to take you back.

I did.

But now I don't.

I really don't.

Am I gonna have to live

at the hospital?

I don't know.

No one's gonna know where I am.

I'll know.

- You're not gonna forget?

- I'm not gonna forget.

Daisy?

Hey, Daisy?

Hey, Daisy? What happened?

Daisy.

Daisy, it's me, Mary Beth.

Mary Beth Nealberry, honey.

He's in

the Los Angeles county jail.
