I just want you to have a--

last looks in there.

Dude, the weed?

We gotta get rid

of this coke, bud.

- Come on.

- What are we doing?

Ari:

Sit the f*** down

and just be...

Eric:

Can I just ask

why are we freaking out?

Ari:
Sit the f*** down, Eric!

Why are we freaking out

like we're in trouble?

It's just parents!

Please!

- Hey, guys.

- Hi.

- Hey, joshy.

- Hi.

- Long time.

- Yeah.

- It's been a while.

- We knew you were here, so...

- We spoke to your mother

and, you know,

- yes.

She mentioned

that you were here

and we thought...

- That you were here

vacationing.

- Thought maybe it's time to...

- Clear the air.

- Clear the air, exactly.

- Um, yeah.

- I have pictures for you.

- Come in and, uh, sure.

- Woman:
Oh.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, just some

friends are here.

- Oh, yeah, this is, uh...

- Should we just say hi

and then we can...?

- Hey, guys.

- Hey.

So this is, uh,

these are Rachel's

parents.

- How are you, Ari?

- Steve and Claudia.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

I hope we're not intruding.

We're gonna go

for a-- a hike.

- Um...

- Josh:
Yeah.

- Okay.

- We were just talking

about a book we read.

Have a seat.

Sorry about this.

It's okay.

- - What's that pink thing?

Oh, this?

Uh, this is, uh--

it's Ari's.

- He's trying to quit smoking.

- Oh, it's a filter thing?

- Yeah.

- My mother had

one of those.

- It was fancy.

- It's supposed to help.

Steve:

First of all,

we want

to apologize to you.

I-- I think

we were both

so, uh, shaken,

and I think

we took it out on you.

Not letting you

go to the funeral,

that wasn't--

- wasn't really right, so...

- And I hope you forgive us.

Well, wow,

i mean, uh,

honestly,

this means a lot.

I mean, yes, sure,

yeah, I forgive you.

I mean,

that was really--

that was hard.

It would help so much

if we all just talked about

what happened that day.

- It would really be helpful.

- Understanding like, you know,

- the sequence of events.

- You spoke to her

right before.

She called me on the phone.

She called me on the phone

to ask me one of my recipes,

you know, which I love,

of course

because I'm very proud

of my recipes.

So help us-- help us,

Josh, please.

Did you guys have

a fight or something

when you got home?

- Was there an emotional...

- So, yeah, I got home

and, uh, we didn't--

we talked about

what I wanted to do

for my birthday.

You came home

and you talked--

you talked to her?

So she was alive

when you got back?

- Yeah.

- This is what I'm saying.

This is different

from what you told

the police.

No, I'm talking about

when I got home from work.

I came home from work

and we started discussing

what I wanted to do

for my birthday

and then

i went to the gym.

This is the part of the story

that keeps changing

and this is

why I wanna know

what actually happened.

- We just need

to know what happened.

- Just tell us.

I-- she was depressed.

- Claudia:
Depressed?

- She was.

She was distant and...

No, not Rachel.

Our Rachel was not depressed.

- Never heard that.

- Look, I tried to--

I tried to get kind of

to the bottom of it

and every time,

she'd mis--

she-- she'd deflect

and she wouldn't answer me.

She was on, um...

- Drugs? Was she?

- No.

- You guys were taking drugs?

- No, we don't take drugs.

It was medication,

you know, like,

antidepressants.

Okay, you don't do drugs.

She doesn't do drugs.

She's taking some--

some medication

from a doctor?

- Please tell me

from a doctor?

- Josh:
Yes, yes.

You know,

here's the thing.

It's just a little

convoluted for us, right?

And so

we actually paid

for a second autopsy

to be done.

The coroner said

that it was actually

inconclusive

- for it to be suicide.

- Inconclusive.

- They couldn't say...

- They couldn't say for sure

- that it was a suicide.

- Could not say for sure.

So, okay,

if she's not...

Hi. Thank you.

I really had a nice time.

I'm kind of freaking out,

so I'm gonna probably

take off.

Thank you, though.

I love your home.

So nice--

it's very pretty.

- - Who is this?

I don't know who that is.

I don't know who that is!

- I'm sure you

don't know who that is.

- You don't know who she is?

- No, I don't.

- 'Cause you don't party.

- You don't party.

- You don't do drugs.

- Let me show you something.

- Let me get this out.

- You don't party.

- You don't party.

- Steve:
What's that?

- You don't do drugs.

What is this?

You taking photos of me?

Claudia:

How about guns?

That's so much fun.

- This is a bb gun.

- Claudia:
Who is she?

- Steve:
Who is she?

Any idea?

- So much fun

when women strip

and gyrate all over you

when you're mourning.

- When you're mourning.

- Steve:
Look at that.

Look at that.

Those marks were

made by her?

- She did not

do that to herself!

- She strangled herself?

- Just tell the truth!

- I am telling the truth.

- You killed our daughter!

- Say the truth, Josh!

I'm telling the truth.

- I didn't f***ing kill her!

- Oh, really?

I knew you were

that monster.

Do you

f***ing see this?

- What the f*** is this?

- Claudia:
That's so we could

get all your lies on tape!

- I haven't been lying!

- Claudia:
You're a liar.

- You're a f***ing liar!

- Josh:
Get out!

- What are you doing?

- Get out, you psychopaths.

Get out!

- Get out.

Take your photos.

- Steve:
We're gonna find out.

You can keep that!

That's a little souvenir.

- - Should we go up there?

- Steve:
We're on to you!

- Great, yeah, yeah.

- Is everything okay?

I don't know.

I'm just--

I guess

I'm just, um--

I'm tired of her.

I'm tired of, like--

I'm tired of her

making me feel this way.

You know, because--

I don't know.

She just-- she--

this is...

It's about her.

And, uh,

it's been

about her and...

I-- I guess

i don't know.

You know what?

I'm a little--

I'm a little tired of it.

She checks out,

and I have to f***ing

deal with it!

And I have to deal

with missing her

and f***ing feeling

real f***in' sad!

And having her

f***ing parents...

In case

anyone's wondering,

I didn't, and I hope

you f***ing believe me

because I didn't

murder someone.

I didn't murder her.

I loved her very much.

And then, uh,

i guess she thought

that the best way

to return that

would be to kill herself

on my f***ing birthday!

So, I don't know.

That's what I'm left with

and-- and, uh--

and I'm

even sorry now.

Like, you know, 'cause now

I'm dragging you guys in.

I'm pulling you guys

into this sh*t,

and you have

your own lives.

And everybody has

their own problems.

And now

you have to sit here

and look at me do this.

It's so f***ing weird.

It's so weird.

It's so stupid.

I'm so f***ing mad

at her.

I'm so mad at her.

Well-- well,

thanks, you know,

for coming.

I don't know

if you guys maybe just...

Adam, do you wanna

play your game?

Yeah, if you do.

I think that

would be pretty fun.

Greg makes great

grilled cheeses.

I do.

- F*** it,

let's play the game.
