A Mother's Love

Kenzie?

Kenzie?

Kenzie?

- Hey? - Kenzie?

Kenzie, honey?

Get up.

Come on, Kenz. Good morning, beautiful.

Our princess awaits her servants.

Oh, oh.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh. Oh, I'm sorry.

- No, no, no, no, no. I shouldn't have...

Sorry, I shouldn't have snuck up on you.

No, no, no. It's okay.

I'm fine. It's okay.

- Lemme help you. - No, no, no. I- I got it.

You know what, here, actually, I'll just do this later.

I'll take her.

- You sure? - Yeah, yeah.

No, no. It's all good.

You're gonna be late and take a shower.

- All right, all right. All right, here's Mommy.

Here, go to Mommy.

- Come here, baby girl. Hi, pretty girl.

- Oh, you know what? Um, don't worry about breakfast.

I won't have any time this morning.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Mm, all right. Be a good girl.

- Okay, we've got a mess to clean up.

Oh, boy.

Ah, shit.

Oh, sorry, um...

- What's up? - The contractor.

Oh, okay.

Hi, baby, hi, hi.

Finally, permits came through.

They said we could start demo today.

Okay, those pills they gave you

helped you sleep last night, eh?

You were out like a rock when I got up

for Anna around one o'clock.

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay. All right.

How... do I look?

- Um. - Hmm? Hmm?

Is hipster dashing a look?

Huh, live to dress

and dress to live, babe.

- Mm. - Mm.

- And, this again. - Oh.

Yeah, there you go.

- Ah, thanks. - You're welcome.

- All right, you be good for mama today..

And you be a good mama- - No, no,

I know where you're going with that. No, no, no, bubs.

What? Okay, okay.

All right. Um, call me if you need anything, all right?

Okay.

Say buh-bye, Daddy.

Say buh-bye, Daddy. Goodbye.

- Love you guys. - Buh-bye.

Mwah. Mm-mm-wah.

Bye, buh-bye.

Say buh-bye.

I mean, come on. I look nothing like these people.

Ah, see that, Junior?

Yep.

- Just the two of you today. - Oh, hey.

Everything all right?

Oh, yeah, no, I just,

I wanted to come see

how the pros do it, you know?

- Oh, you wanna do it again today?

Oh, no, no.

You've already showed me drywalling last week, so.

Yes, but we do this today.

Junior, give her your goggles.

- Here. - Oh, no, no. I can't.

- Yes, you can. Just try it, feels good.

- Demo's a lot more fun than drywalling.

Just let it go.

- All right. - All right.

There you go. - Okay. Oh, whoa.

That's a lot heavier than it looks on TV.

Um, all right, so what?

I just hit anywhere? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, just put your hand right here.

- All right. - Right there.

All right, let's go.

Just let it go.

All right.

- Boom, yeah, there you go!

I can do better than that.

I'm confident, okay? - Let's go.

Okay, here I go.

Okay, woo. - Woo!

Okay.

Yeah!

Woo!

Yeah! - Yeah!

- Come on, yeah!

- I think it's stuck. - Ah, hold on, hold on.

That's okay. That's okay.

It happens.

- She looks stronger than you.

- Oh, now who she's stronger than?

- You better watch that, Junior.

Yeah. Okay, Pop.

Kenzie?

You okay? - Yeah, yeah.

- All right, baby. Okay.

Thanks.

Uh, Mr. Carter?

I'm Detective Palmer.

Eric, Eric Carter.

- Sorry to meet you under these circumstances.

I understand you all

are probably pretty shaken up right now,

but I am going to need to ask some questions,

if you don't mind.

- Yeah, no, I understand. I understand.

Mm-hmm.

Anywhere but this house.

- So you did build the house?

- Yeah, but not from the ground up.

We bought it for the lot, basically.

Hmm.

- I mean, there was a house on it,

but nothing we would ever live in.

That was a part of the original structure.

We were gonna make it into a sunroom,

- And that required a different permit,

which just came through?

Yes.

- So who did you buy the old house from?

We don't know.

It was a foreclosure sale.

You have to ask the bank.

She needs a change.

- I think I have everything I need from your statement

if you need to step out.

I can finish things up with your husband.

Yeah, okay, bye.

- Bye. I love you.

She's taking this hard.

- Are there people in our situation

that don't take it hard?

I'm sorry, I just mean-

No, it's- it's all right.

Yeah, she's just been struggling a bit with postpartum

after the baby, and,

well, she lost her parents in a car accident

during the pregnancy,

so I'm sure it's just...

I see, all right,

so you finally got moved in, what, about three weeks ago?

Crazy day, huh?

I was thinking we could grab takeout on the way home.

No.

You're not hungry?

- I am not going back to that house, Eric.

- Let's just get a hotel tonight

and we'll figure everything else out later.

It's gonna be okay.

All right, keep 'em closed.

- Eric? - Keep 'em closed.

Uh-huh.

- Okay, couple more steps.

- Okay. I'm gonna break something.

- You will not. I've got you.

I promise. There you go.

- Okay. - Eric] You're not even

gonna recognize it now.

- Okay. - Come right here.

All right.

Mm-hmm.

Now. Huh, what'd I say?

Tell me you can't get some serious reading done

in that chair, hmm?

Or napping, hmm?

- Mm. - I mean,

I could nap the shit out of that chair.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

What do you think, baby, huh?

Oh, Daddy, what a great room for a family

to make memories in.

We'll fill the room with so much happiness and love.

Because a house is just

concrete and wood.

A family makes a home

and our home will be a place full of happiness and love.

Let's make new memories here, Kenz.

Our memories, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

- Hmm, come on. I gotta show you the patio.

Oh, boy.

- And then the bear said, "If you lay down, I'll lay down,

and we'll sleep and go on a magic trip to the land

of the happiest girl's dreams.

Where everything you ever wanted awaits.
