- Yeah, alright. I got it.

- Alright. Thank you.

- Yeah, thanks.

- Yeah.

Yep.

God, that looks easier

in movies.

Okay, Kevin Rivera.

You better beware,

I will find you

where you live.

[cell phone ringing]

No. Not now, mom.

Oh, no.

Not now. Come on!

Hey, hey, sir?

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

I never dreamt

I'd get so lucky

as to play footsie with

a sexaholic veterinarian.

[chuckles] That's not

the only thing I play.

- Oh, no?

- Mm-hmm.

Nice.

[knock on door]

Mr. Evans?

Yeah, uh, come in.

Hey, uh,

can I help you, miss..

Stevens.

Stevens, Nicole. Stevens.

Uh, my phone died

I was wondering if maybe

I could charge it in here.

Oh.. I was literally about

to walk out the door.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

You know, it's king of..

It's kind of urgent.

You a cop?

- I'm a corrections officer.

- Fair enough.

It's my civic duty

to assist you,

Officer Stevens.

Nicole is fine,

thank you.

Outlet is right

over there.

Thank you so, so much.

Charge.

What,

are you here a case?

- I'm tracking a prisoner.

- Oh.

- That I lost.

- You lost a prisoner?

It's a long story,

I'd rather not talk

about it now, thanks.

Would you like

a cup of coffee?

Yeah. Yeah, I would,

thank you.

- Here you go.

- Oh, thank you.

[clears throat]

So where do you think

your prisoner is

right this moment?

God, I don't know.

Guess she's off havin'

a little party.

Oh, right,

with the old super-vet.

Yeah.

Yeah, he parties

a certain type of way.

Oh, God, please.

I don't wanna know.

Yeah.

You got a tough job

ahead of you, Nicole.

Yeah, I'm afraid

I'm not gonna have

a job after this.

No, don't say that.

You're good

at what you do.

- I can tell.

- Mm..

Fair enough. You're not

the best at what you do.

But... you look good in

that corrections uniform.

You look like a badass.

What you should do

is think like a criminal.

You need to get into

the mind of the criminal.

It will lead you

to your criminal.

Develop a perp's

perspective.

A perp-spective.

Exactly.

You think you could

do me a favor?

- Yeah, what's up?

- That office upstairs, can you unlock it?

You're thinkin' like a criminal.

Come on, let's go.

Thank you.

We'll probably

both lose our jobs.

Thank you,

thank you so much.

Let's make this one fast. I

wanna get you in here quick.

Go ahead.

Can I help?

Oh, well, try not to..

[indistinct chatter]

Alright, well,

I'm tryin' to keep my job.

- They're all empty.

- Ooh.

- Thank you.

- Sorry.

It's okay.

Bingo.

I told you she was badass,

look at this!

Yeah! Hell, yeah!

Okay. Oh, sh*t.

Yeah.

- Uh.

- Perp-spective.

[instrumental music]

[laughing]

Ahh!

[moaning]

[whining]

- Can I see you again?

- Um..

I'd like to,

I mean, I'd like you to

you know, yes. Sure.

Great, I would love to,

I mean, under

different circumstances

it would be great.

- Okay.

- Well, I know you live upstate.

I do. I live with

my... self. Upstate. So..

But I... I... I come to the

city, you know, often. So..

Look, oh,

this is my card.

- Oh, yeah.

- Got my number on there.

I'll call you now

so that...

Right! So that I have..

Yeah, we call each other.

- You can call me if you want to.

- Right.

- Okay.

- Okay.

[cell phone ringing]

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hey. Who this?

- Is, is this building, uh, manager Michael Evans?

Is this Officer Stevens?

No, this is Nicole.

You sound great

over the phone.

You do, you sound..

You got a nice voice.

You sound, you sound

really good..

Uh, well,

I, I got your number.

- I'm gonna hang up now.

- I'm gonna hang up now.

Okay. Alright, well..

We should... we should

do this some other time.

We should get together,

alright?

Yeah. Thank you

for the... electricity.

- Of course.

- I'm gonna go.

- Okay.

- But thank you.

- Alright.

- We'll talk soon.

Absolutely. Call..

You got my number.

- I.. You have mine too. So..

- Alright.

Okay.

Whoopie! Ha-ha.

- Have a nice time, miss?

- Oh, you bet, best time ever.

Anderson.

Miss Stevens!

Where have you been, huh?

I'm taking you upstate.

And you're gonna be there

for a long time

so I really hope that your little

trip to the vet was worth it.

Oh, it was worth it.

Oh, sister,

you don't know.

Yeah, good.

I hope he de-flea'd you.

Go!

Bye, Dennis.

Goodbye, Dennis.

If we hurry,

we can catch...

Oh, you are certifiable

if you think

I am getting on a train

with you right now.

I... I... I am getting on a

train, but you are going

back upstate where you belong.

You are in...

No, we gotta go out to the island.

We gotta go see my mother.

- I'm in trouble?

- Yeah.

- What about you?

- What about me?

What happened. You wanna make warden...

warden look bad

for God's sake? I know.

I'll tell you what we do, I'll

tell you what we do, alright?

Here I am,

I'm in your custody.

We go out,

say goodbye to mom

and get me back in time

for Sunday lock-up.

And now, it looks like you know

what you're doin' for once.

Won't you just, shh?

Just shut your mouth

and stop talking, okay?

I don't wanna hear

you speak!

I'm not speakin',

I'm not sayin' a word.

I hear sound's comin' out

of your mouth.

Ticket, please.

Would you mind

taking your leg off

of my belongings, please?

Thank you.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Shut up.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

This is where

you grew up?

Home sweet home.

[music continues]

Just give me a second,

alright?

You're ringin' in five, four,

three, two, one, or I do.

Haven't you had a good time today?

I've had a great time.

...three..

[doorbell dinging]

Hmm?

Well, guarantee ya

that's about to end.

You look good.

Thanks.

Get in here, Joan!

Oh, my goodness.

Let me look at you!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, God.

Let me look at you.

This is Nicole, Paula.

It's Officer Stevens,

if you don't mind, ma'am.

No, Officer Stevens.

Sorry.

Oh, it's so good

to see you.

If you'll excuse me.

- Give me the right.

- What is she doing?

She's just

doin' her job.

- Alright, down. Other one.

- Yup.

Don't, don't watch it.

Do you have to do this

in here?

If you knew what it took

to get us here, ma'am

you'd be shacklin'

her yourself, so, yep.

Yep, I do.

Alright, come on.

[instrumental music]

Mother?

Mother?

I'm here.

Figures..

You didn't really wanna

see me, did you?

But I thank you

for the lovely holiday.

Oh, my God,

you're still with us.

Hello.

It's Joan, your daughter.

Joan?

Ah! I'm glad you came.

- You are?

- Yes, I'm glad you came.

Oh, hello, mother.

I need you

to sign some papers.

Sign what papers?

To give you some money.

Well, you don't need

my signature

to put me back

in your will.

Not the will.

It's, it's an agreement.

What kind of agreement?

For you

to live your life

any way it pleases you.

Oh, mother.

Oh! What's the catch?

I want you to stay away

from my granddaughter.

You mean my daughter?

I can't do that.

I'm clean and sober now.

I get out in six months.
