The Birch

911 operator. What's your emergency?

- Hello? - Beth? Hi.

My mom just wanted to let you know

she will be swinging by tomorrow to pick up some left-over cake.

Rory. You're an angel.

Go to hell.

Hello?

I told you what I'd do.

Sorry. Didn't need to make such an entrance.

Here. Come on in.

What? Why did she wants us to just dump the plants?

I don't know, dude. Just cut her a break.

She's been through a lot.

You said we'll be out of here...

- She's in danger! - Send her to a shel...

That's literally why they have homeless shelters!

Okay, maybe you're just too young and selfish

to remember this, Rus,

but we've had to be put up before.

Jean. Is not your job!

Yeah, whatever Rus, your hate is showing.

Freaking idiotic request. How is this our problem?

- Mature! - "The plants made me do it."

Please, just be quiet, okay?

Everything will be different for you right now.

Sorry. Boys are so emotional.

We're new in town and I think he's just kind of...

adjusting.

I'll just finish cleaning up and then I'll get you situated.

Thank you, Jean.

Do your hand. As in "put your hands in the air."

You still owe me your name.

Oh, um... I'm Lily, this is Laura.

- Is she okay... - Don't.

Sorry.

It's been a long day and she doesn't go easy with strangers.

You know what? I'm going to let her be.

No worries, Lily. Close by heart.

Is there some place without windows

where I can get cleaned up?

Yeah. Yeah, there's bathroom in the back.

And no offense but you, like, need it.

Come on.

And I think we might have an old stroller for you two.

I just need for things to go well for me tonight,

okay?

I'm doing what you always said, taking care of the roaches.

Sounds like you got her down without too much of a fight.

Let's get you ready for that wash.

My cousin mailed me some homemade soaps.

Hopefully, it doesn't tear your skin off.

Lavender.

Violent offenders they work with,

but also some really misunderstood guys in there.

So... you want to tell me who you're running from?

You wouldn't believe me.
