---

Because you're riding the beast.

You've opened up Pandora's box

And you're facing

joy and horror head on.

Sweetie, every single artist...

They have affairs because

it fuels their creativity.

Look at woody Allen

and Bruce Springsteen.

And... Picasso.

For god sakes, Picasso...

Every time

he had a new mistress,

He started

a new freaking art movement.

I'm pregnant.

[SPITS DRINK]

Oh, sh*t.

It's okay.

It's not like you mowed down

a deaf kid while texting.

This is fixable. Um...

you know you don't have

to go through with it.

I could talk to Enzo.

I can be very discrete.

Discrete?

Annie, he's obsessed.

I have to get him

out of my life.

He sent a bassinet to the house

The day after

I found out I was pregnant.

I didn't even tell him.

I mean, how does he know?

You think he bugged

my cell phone or something?

Can you do that?

I'm sure... I'm sure

they have an app for that.

He has no boundaries.

We didn't even do

a background check on him.

Yeah, because we thought

he was amazing.

He is amazing.

I mean, he's a genius.

- And what genius isn't twisted?

- Uh-Huh.

I mean,

my brother was a f***ing nutbag.

Maybe I'm being too paranoid.

[SIGHS] I really thought that

He was going to be the one

to take us to the next level.

I thought that too.

I mean, you know,

I've always wanted

To headline

Madison square garden.

And... And score films

And make a f***ing opera

on the moon.

You know, I wanted to make

really dangerous music.

And I felt that with Enzo.

You know, I was fierce,

Teetering

on the edge of something.

Here. Oh, you're pregnant.

Right.

Okay. Okay.

This is what we're going to do.

[SIGHS]

You're going to walk this edge

for a little while longer.

We lay down enough tracks

to put together an album.

And then if you still want me

to, I cut the chord.

Just like that?

Pretty much.

I'll call the lawyer tonight

And I'll make sure

that you're protected.

And I'll spin off

the dark prince.

I'll get him his own deal.

And he will be

so busy with that,

He won't have time

to munch your box

Let alone ruin your life.

Yeah?

I will meet with him tomorrow,

give him some Annie rules,

Turn him into a well-Behaved,

willing mistress, okay?

- Okay.

- I'll be here for you.

- Okay. Thank you.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Thanks.

I'm so sorry about Enzo.

It's okay.

- Uh...

- Yeah.

I told carter that you sent

the bassinet.

Okay. Sh*t.

What?

When I rolled up earlier

And he was digging

in the garden,

He thanked me,

then he mumbled something

About being the last to know.

And that's all that happened?

That's all he said.

But then I said,

I had no idea

what he was talking about.

But it's fine.

I... I can fix that.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Bye, thank you.

- Bye.

Uh, Camila, will you help me

move this into the guest room?

Yes.

You can leave that right there.

Uh, Annie, didn't know they were

going to deliver it so quickly.

That's why

she was caught off guard

When you asked her about it.

Well,

that's one way to explain it.

- What do you mean?

- Exactly what I said.

But, hey, we're all

just standing on a big rock

Hurling through space.

Did you put the whiskey in?

A whole shot.

Just like you showed me.

Okay. I need it.

I thought you couldn't have

any more babies.

You know what, bud?

I think it would be better

If your mom explained that

to you.

Well, it's complicated, buddy.

But, um,

Sometimes the doctors think that

you can't have any more babies.

You know,

sometimes they make mistakes.

And this time they were wrong.

Um... yeah, no. Okay.

You guys have a bit more food

and you can have a cookie.

What?

Um...

Annie, she...

She drove off the side of

Mulholland on her way home.

They suspect foul play.

And she said

that she didn't make it.

Well, I'm going to go

to the hospital.

You know, I said she's dead.

And her sister's coming down

from Berkeley tomorrow.

You and Enzo can go over then.

Are you leaving?

Uh...

sorry.

Can I help you?

Um, no.

I think it's best if you leave,

And I'll call you tomorrow.

Yes, miss.

Hey, guys. Uh...

you guys go brush your teeth.

And I'm going to meet you in

the bathroom in a minute, okay?

[WIND CHIMES]

[DOOR SLAMS]

Carter?

You've been bad.

Carter?

[GASPS]

Stop.

Stop.

I need to tell you something.

You know,

I interview real interesting

characters all the time.

Sexy women in bars, hotel rooms,

trying to impress me.

And I could've f***ed

anyone of 'em.

Do you know how many times

I've cheated on you?

Huh?

Not once.

And now you're having

another man's baby!

And you brought him

into our home!

He played with our f***ing kids!

Okay. Listen. Listen. Please.

Please, listen.

I just...

I just... When the album failed,

I was just... I was...

I was torn up, you know.

And I'm, like...

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Would you be sorry

if you hadn't gotten caught?

I wanted to trust you.

But right under my nose.

What a f***... What a fool!

The big crime writer carter.

And I'm sure you guys were

laughing the entire time.

No! No, not at all.

[COUGHS]

Listen,

I f***ed up really badly.

But please just help me fix it.

Help me be better.

I'll do anything.

Anything? No,

you've already done anything.

Okay? So just move.

- Please?

- Move!

Move!

Move so I can finish this!

Why are you doing this now?

Are you burying something?

What did you do to him?

Say his name?

Did you hurt him?

You care more about him

than your own f***ing family?

- Huh?

- No! That's not what I mean.

You'd better get the f***

away from me!

Go! Get out of here! Go!

Hello?

Evie, Carl,

it's your neighbor Hayley.

I need your help.

Hello?

I'm sorry about what my kids

did to your dog.

Can I please use your phone?

[DOOR BUZZES]

Evie? Carl?

Well, well, well.

This is a surprise.

I wasn't expecting anyone.

Why are you here?

I rented this place so I could

help out with the baby.

[DOG WHINES]

Where did Evie and Carl go?

Oh, they wanted

to travel abroad.

I found the house on craigslist.

I could not believe it

when I saw the address.

Our little f*** shack.

Enzo, I have a husband,

and I have children.

Not for much longer.

The husband part that is.

What did you do?

I chopped off the lime tree

roots on this side of the fence.

Made the tree lean over.

Whoo. Carter got all

worked up about it.

Watch this.

[IMITATES STRAINING]

Ahh.

Dug his own grave.

Goochie goo.

Oh, Hayley,

don't feel too bad for him.

I might've saved your life.

I just heard him yelling at you.

Yeah, you're right.

He's an a**hole when he's drunk.

Could've just divorced him.

Then I wouldn't have to go

through with all this.

But love makes you crazy.

Right?

Oh, check this out.

A 1960s tube stereo.

Mint condition.

That's amazing.

It's about the music.

You've always wanted

to headline the garden.

Haven't you? Huh?

[CODY AND BENJY TALKING]

Oh, the place is a mess.

I was going to hang some drapes.

Here, don't...
