---

we're having a little girl.

I'm craving everything.

The other night I took a

chocolate bar and I just stuck

it right in the middle of

a bowl of ice cream. I didn't

cut it up or anything. It was

like planting a chocolate flag.

Sometimes I feel like

I'm losing my mind completely

during this pregnancy.

Pregnancy is nuts!

You can either let it drive

you crazy or just

relax and enjoy the ride.

Give in to the morning sickness

and the stretch marks?

JUNKIE:
Spare some change?

Uhh...

No. I'm sorry, we're all out.

So sorry.

Fine, then.

Meth heads.

Is that a problem around here?

Oh, it's like a plague!

I'm sorry, I just

don't feel comfortable with

you riding this bike.

I'll be fine, Mom.

All right.

I'm sure you are.

But there's just so many

drunk drivers and meth heads.

Am I gonna see you on Tuesday?

Yes! Please don't leave me

alone with those crazy women!

You don't wanna

get groped again?

I will see you then, Evey.

WORKER:
Buenas.

Bueno.

(CAR STARTS)

DAVID:
What were you

even doing spying on him?

People come to the

country to be left alone.

What if they're cooking crystal

meth right next door, David?

How is that safe for us,

or safe for the baby?

Evey, you don't know

what you saw, okay?

Could've been anything.

Where's my knife?

So what, we do nothing?

Yes, exactly.

It's none of our business.

On my way there I saw the

ruins of the old house.

Yeah, Emilio said he was gonna

hire some guys to bulldoze

it but we haven't had time.

Why?

No reason.

Okay.

(CAR PULLS UP)

(FOOT FALLS)

(FOOT FALLS)

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

David!

David!

(LOUD SCREAM)

Oh, God! David,

there's someone out there!

Honey, there's

someone out there.

There's a man in a

hood just down there.

There's nobody out here.

I saw someone.

Okay. If he comes back

I'll be on him, okay?

Wait. You don't believe me?

I didn't say that.

No, it's...

Look, it's a new house,

middle of nowhere,

it's creepy outside.

You're expecting...

We're expecting and you know...

you went off those meds.

That's what happens.

Come on.

There's nothing.

Come to bed.

SADIE:
You are not crazy.

Think of all the tweakers

running around this area.

It just... it felt so real.

You have to listen

to your intuition.

And who knows? Maybe it could be

your mommy sense kicking in.

Oh, mommy sense.

Is that like Spidey sense?

Kind of.

One time, when I was a baby,

my sister was giving me a bath

and left me in there with the

water running and my mom was

downstairs running the vacuum,

obviously couldn't hear

anything. But she just

got this feeling, you know?

She ran upstairs and there I

was, underwater, drowning.

She just knew.

Mommy sense.

Yeah, it's mommy sense, or

it's something more than that.

I was in a car accident

about a year ago.

They said it wasn't my fault,

but there was a mother and a

baby in the other car and...

the baby didn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

That's so awful.

Jesus Christ.

I tried to reach out to the

other family but they didn't

take my calls, and I

can't say I blame them.

Anyway, then David put me on

an antidepressant because well,

I felt like I

was losing my mind.

Obviously, that stopped once

I found out I was pregnant.

Yes. Good. I'm glad.

You shouldn't be putting those

chemicals into your body anyway.

I know.

You can't keep punishing

yourself over something that

is not your fault.

Thank you for being a friend.

How 'bout I get you a

chocolate mousse, huh?

I'd have a cookie.

David?

(CAR PULLS UP)

(LOUD BONKS ON DOOR)

Who's there?

- It's me.

- (LOUD BONKS ON DOOR)

Who is it?

Who's there?

(LOUD BONKS ON DOOR)

Oh, David...

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

(LOUD BONKS ON DOOR)

(GLASS SHTTERS)

(DOOR OPENS)

Evey?

Oh, David. David.

What happened?

What's going on?

The wine bottles just exploded!

What?

What're you talking about?

They just...

They...

And there was...

there was a gun over there.

David, there was a

goddamn gun there!

(BONKS ON DOOR)

- LEO:
Hey, David.

- Hi. Come on in.

Honey, this is Leo Cottrell.

He lives down the road.

Hello.

You know, when we talked

the other day, I realized

I was just way overdue

to stop by and say hello.

DAVID:
Yeah, Leo runs a a

artisanal olive oil business.

- Right?

- Yeah.

We were talking about it

and I just don't want any

misunderstandings. You guys

should come by and check it out.

Okay. Thanks for stopping by.

Appreciate it.

Yeah, yeah!

See you guys around.

All right.

I know what I saw.

I know.

DAVID:
This isn't just seeing things.

These are major hallucinations

we're talking about.

The hooded guy, a gun?

DR. MATHISON:
This is what we

discussed, Eveleigh. Your

pregnant body is basically a

cocktail of competing hormones.

I'm not taking any drugs.

But you were on medication for

nearly half a year after the

accident and it could help

you deal with your symptoms.

And I felt like a zombie

and I wasn't pregnant.

There are very few side effects

with this. You don't need

to worry about that. This is

a very common antidepressant.

But I'm not depressed.

And we don't know for

sure there are zero side

effects. Nobody knows.

DAVID:
Evey, we can't live like this.

I can't live like this.

I want you to promise me

that if you have one more

hallucination, you go

back on your medication.

David, we have to put

the baby first now.

DAVID:
I'm gonna give this

a minute to open up.

BEN:
I'm not sure I ever drank

anything that needed to open up.

Drunk. Whatever.

We're on more of a Two Buck

Chuck budget ourselves.

DAVID:
That's all right.

So, when are you gonna get

this winery up and running?

We're close. The problem

out here though is rain.

The vines really should have

shoots by now but I've been

bringing in two water trucks

a week since we took over.

Water trucks, that sucks.

Isn't this supposed to be like

the worst drought in decades?

SADIE:
Okay, maybe don't rub it in, Ben.

- Just sayin'.

- It's Okay.

BEN:
What about you, Eveleigh?

How do you like the place?

DAVID:
Evey.

Sorry, what?

She's been a little out

of it recently, so...

Well, imagine how out of it I'll

be when I'm medicated, David.

Sorry, I didn't mean

to ruin the vibe.

But you can't take

medication, you're pregnant!

Thank you.

Ben, why don't I

show you the winery?

I think the ladies

have had enough of us.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Don't wander off too far.

We don't want to send

a search party for you.

Yes, your majesty.

I'm sorry I just did that.

No.

Ben seems sweet.

Yeah. I think he's a keeper.

Sorry, I don't mean to pry,

but what is this about

putting you on medication?

Antidepressants.

No, you can't let

them do that to you.

Dr. Mathison says it's safe.

What do you think?

I think there is

something wrong here,

and I don't think

I'm imagining it.

That's your mommy sense.

Right now, your protective

instincts they're at an all
