00:00:41Here, Henry.
00:00:42Here, Henry.
00:00:42Keep your eye on the ball.
00:00:43That's OK.
00:00:44It just started.
00:00:45That's it.
00:00:46All right, get back, get back, get back, get back, get back.
00:00:47Get back, get back.
00:00:49Come on.
00:00:50You should be Johnny.
00:00:51OK, Johnny, OK, Johnny.
00:00:54Well, take it.
00:00:54Get in there.
00:00:57Let him get inside.
00:00:58That's it.
00:00:59Come on.
00:00:59Come on, heads up!
00:01:00Come on, try again.
00:01:02Go!
00:01:05All right.
00:01:07Mom, get your phone.
00:01:10Our strawberry can't send these!
00:01:12All right, all right.
00:01:14Hey, Will.
00:01:15Yes!
00:01:17I want work?
00:01:19Are you serious?
00:01:21No, I don't believe it.
00:01:22They never give it to anybody in retail.
00:01:25The keynote, too?
00:01:28Cool.
00:01:29Brody, this is great for us.
00:01:31Johnny's got the ball. I gotta go. I'll see you in the morning.
00:01:33Bye!
00:01:33Yes!
00:01:35Yes!
00:01:45I'm riding with Mom.
00:01:47I'm riding with Mom. You were over there last time.
00:01:49You can both ride with Mom.
00:01:51Dad doesn't mind, okay?
00:01:53You got anything to eat at home? Chili.
00:01:54Yes!
00:01:56All right.
00:01:57Well, I'll see you there.
00:01:58All right.
00:01:58Hey, wait a minute.
00:02:00I have something I want to tell you.
00:02:02Um, Brody called while the game was on.
00:02:04Hey, I noticed that.
00:02:05Can't you keep that thing on for a half hour?
00:02:07Oh, sorry.
00:02:08I thought I did.
00:02:09But, uh, the Better Business Bureau named me Woman of the Year.
00:02:13Really?
00:02:14Yeah.
00:02:15Well, that's good.
00:02:16That's great.
00:02:17You deserve that.
00:02:18You worked really hard.
00:02:22Thanks.
00:02:26You gave away your lunch again today?
00:02:28What'd I do wrong?
00:02:29It's too much mayo.
00:02:31The bread's soggy.
00:02:31Yuck.
00:02:33I traded for Adam's cold pizza.
00:02:35Yuck.
00:02:37Oh, really?
00:02:38The both of you.
00:02:39Cold pizza's the best.
00:02:40Oh, stop it.
00:02:41It is.
00:02:42Warm things are way better, Johnny.
00:02:44No.
00:02:44Cold pizza's better.
00:02:46Are we having company tonight?
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:50There they are.
00:02:52Howdy, neighbors!
00:02:54Hey, Adam.
00:02:55What's up?
00:02:56Hey, Alice.
00:02:58Oh, damn ass.
00:02:59Oh, damn ass.
00:03:01Hey, Steve.
00:03:02How are you?
00:03:02How are you doing, Danny?
00:03:02Good to see you.
00:03:03How are you doing?
00:03:07So, is your mother getting any better?
00:03:09Well, Rona says she's holding her own.
00:03:12If we were closer, I'd be able to read her better, but...
00:03:15You know my sister, Rona.
00:03:18Mother and Martyr of the Year.
00:03:21Well, it doesn't matter, because I get to go to Seattle tomorrow to open up the new store,
00:03:25so I'll get to see her for myself.
00:03:27Well, that's good.
00:03:30Cancer's hell.
00:03:31What we went through with my mother...
00:03:33Listen, if you ever need anyone to talk to...
00:03:39Thanks, Alice.
00:03:40You're the best.
00:03:41Oh.
00:03:41Let's go, guys.
00:03:42Hey, Alice.
00:03:43Bye, Claire.
00:03:45Thanks.
00:03:46You call me.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:46Bye, Dennis.
00:03:47Bye.
00:03:49You gotta love Alice.
00:03:51She really speaks her mind.
00:03:55What's wrong?
00:03:57I thought we said we weren't gonna have people over on school nights anymore.
00:04:01Well, they're redoing their kitchen.
00:04:03Bye.
00:04:03They didn't have a place to eat.
00:04:05All the restaurants are closed.
00:04:09You know, we make these agreements, and then you just do whatever you want.
00:04:19Bye.
00:04:27Good night.
00:04:28Good night, stars.
00:04:30Good night, lightning bugs and jars.
00:04:33I'm sorry I have to go back to Seattle tomorrow.
00:04:36I'll be back on Thursday.
00:04:38And maybe we could go to the circus on Saturday.
00:04:42Yay!
00:04:42The circus!
00:04:43I'll ask Dad to try to get tickets.
00:04:45Can I go with you to Seattle?
00:04:47I haven't seen Nana for almost a whole year.
00:04:50I know, honey, but I don't think so.
00:04:52I mean, you have school and practice and...
00:04:54Forget it.
00:04:55Kids never get what they want.
00:04:57Excuse me?
00:04:59You get everything that you want.
00:05:02I didn't get the red bike I really wanted for Christmas.
00:05:04I got the blue one.
00:05:06Oh, write a letter to Santa.
00:05:11It's 9.30.
00:05:12Young man, you're going to bed.
00:05:16Good night.
00:05:17Come on.
00:05:18Good night, Mom.
00:05:19Talk down.
00:05:19Good night.
00:05:20Love you.
00:05:21Thank you, Dad.
00:05:22Good night, sweetie.
00:05:25Okay.
00:05:26Good night, baby.
00:05:27That was a good game today, buddy.
00:05:29It was.
00:05:30Thanks, Dad.
00:05:31It really was.
00:05:35We need to talk.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:37I just have to call Brody and ask him what time he's going to come pick me up tomorrow morning.
00:05:47Hey, Brody.
00:05:49Okay.
00:05:50I want to know everything that he said.
00:05:51Good night, Johnny.
00:05:52Hello, Dad.
00:05:53No.
00:05:53He said that?
00:05:56You've got to be kidding me.
00:05:58Really?
00:05:58How did he know he did that kind of business last year?
00:06:02Wow.
00:06:04Oh, my goodness.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07What else?
00:06:09No.
00:06:11Really?
00:06:12Oh, cool.
00:06:14And tomorrow?
00:06:14Is everything okay?
00:06:16Are you sure I can't change your mind?
00:06:17Oh, I'm really flattered.
00:06:21Oh, come on now.
00:06:22You've got to eat, right?
00:06:25Well, it's just a little faster.
00:06:27I already have plans.
00:06:29Well, what about the next night?
00:06:32Sorry.
00:06:32Another early morning pickup.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:39All right.
00:06:40Well, look.
00:06:40How about I call you and we'll...
00:06:50Claire.
00:06:54I'm not doing very well with all of this.
00:07:00Look, I know you're upset that I'm leaving again.
00:07:03So am I.
00:07:04I don't want to go.
00:07:07But I've got obligations and it's a chance for me to see my mom.
00:07:15Come on, we've been through this in therapy.
00:07:18I take a business trip, you get upset, we fight.
00:07:21It's a pattern.
00:07:22We're supposed to be working on breaking that pattern.
00:07:24How can we work on it when you keep missing the sessions?
00:07:28And I've told you how sorry I am.
00:07:32Yeah, that's true, you have.
00:07:38Look, we're not going to be able to solve anything tonight.
00:07:42And it's late.
00:07:45And I really need to get some sleep, so...
00:07:48Can we talk about it when I get back?
00:07:53Sure, fine.
00:08:02Good night.
00:08:04Best for the show of your genius, you know.
00:08:06Hey, Rudy.
00:08:08Dennis Raphael on Willow.
00:08:12Got another leak under the sink.
00:08:13Hey, big sis.
00:08:14Our plane arrives at 1215, so Brody and I will just meet you at the store, okay?
00:08:19Bye.
00:08:19Love you.
00:08:20Kiss mom.
00:08:21I don't know.
00:08:21It could be either the water pure fire, the disposal, or the sink.
00:08:24You take your pick.
00:08:26Apple, orange, banana?
00:08:27Apple.
00:08:28No brown spots.
00:08:29I want an orange, mommy.
00:08:30Cut up, please.
00:08:31Peel it yourself.
00:08:32No, three o'clock's no good.
00:08:33I've got to pick up my kids at school.
00:08:34I can wait till tomorrow if you want.
00:08:36That's great.
00:08:37I'll see you then.
00:08:37Bye.
00:08:38Okay, so you have your lunch?
00:08:40I got it.
00:08:40You have your homework?
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42Kiki, don't forget these cupcakes, okay?
00:08:44We made them for the bake sale.
00:08:46Oh, my God, I gotta go.
00:08:47Brody will be here.
00:08:49Griddle's too hot.
00:08:52No, it's not.
00:08:53Morning.
00:08:54Hi, Brody.
00:08:55Hey.
00:08:56Kiki, Kiki.
00:08:57You get bigger and bigger.
00:08:58What are you now?
00:08:58You're like 27 years, 50.
00:09:00What is that?
00:09:00No, silly.
00:09:01I'm still nine.
00:09:02Nine years old.
00:09:02Can you come to one of my games, Brody?
00:09:04Sure.
00:09:04You just let me know, and I will be there.
00:09:07Hi, Dennis.
00:09:07Yo.
00:09:08You see the celts last night?
00:09:10Yeah.
00:09:10Finally in the zone for a change.
00:09:12Your griddle's too hot.
00:09:14My griddle is not too hot.
00:09:17Here.
00:09:18Make yourself useful.
00:09:20Here you go, kids.
00:09:21Here.
00:09:21Our pancakes are going like hotcakes.
00:09:23Who wants them?
00:09:24Here.
00:09:24Good morning.
00:09:25Oh, if it isn't the woman of the year.
00:09:27Oh, yeah.
00:09:28Oh, yeah.
00:09:29Oh, yeah.
00:09:30Oh, let me get your bags, ma'am.
00:09:32Here.
00:09:32Hey, kids.
00:09:33I love you.
00:09:34Mwah.
00:09:35Love you.
00:09:35I'll call you tonight, okay?
00:09:37Okay.
00:09:38Can Brody go with us to the circus?
00:09:40Uh, sure.
00:09:41If you want to.
00:09:42Brody wants to.
00:09:42Maybe I'll bring Stephanie.
00:09:43If the lovely ex-Mrs. Brody will let me have her on an off weekend.
00:09:46Yeah, that'd be great.
00:09:46What's this about a circus?
00:09:49I promised the kids that when I got back we'd go.
00:09:53Can we?
00:09:53I meant to ask you about getting tickets last night, but we got way off track.
00:09:59So, could you?
00:10:00We gotta go.
00:10:01Come on.
00:10:02Bye, honey.
00:10:05Say hi to your mom for me.
00:10:07I will.
00:10:08Love you.
00:10:08Love you.
00:10:09Bye, honey.
00:10:10Love you.
00:10:11Bye, guys.
00:10:12Bye, everybody.
00:10:13Bye.
00:10:17I love the location.
00:10:19I really think it's great.
00:10:24Tom, I don't know, but do you think we should lose this plant stand?
00:10:27No.
00:10:28It's good.
00:10:29I love those flowers.
00:10:31Great lighting.
00:10:32Bella, thank you.
00:10:33You remembered.
00:10:34You guys did such an amazing job.
00:10:37I love it.
00:10:38Claire, do you remember me?
00:10:39Bernice Matheson.
00:10:41I was your mother's bridge partner, of course.
00:10:44Well, you know my sister, Rona.
00:10:45Yes, of course.
00:10:46Hello, dear.
00:10:47Hello, Mrs. Matheson.
00:10:48It's so nice for your mother that one of you stayed home with her.
00:10:52Good to see you.
00:10:57What, did she come here just to make me feel bad?
00:11:00Oh, this isn't it.
00:11:02I mean, she could have at least mentioned the store.
00:11:05Careers don't impress women of that generation.
00:11:09Loyalty does.
00:11:11What's that supposed to mean, Rona?
00:11:13Well, you know, mothers stayed home to take care of their children
00:11:16and grown children stayed home to take care of their mothers.
00:11:21Hello, hello, everyone.
00:11:23Folks, I'd like to introduce you now to the president, the founder,
00:11:27and the creative head of Claire Raphael Designs.
00:11:30She's my partner.
00:11:31She's my friend.
00:11:31She also signs the checks.
00:11:33Claire Raphael.
00:11:35Where are you, Claire?
00:11:37Come on.
00:11:39Come on.
00:11:40Come on.
00:11:41Oh, I'm very happy to be here.
00:11:44I must admit, a little nervous.
00:11:47Openings are like that.
00:11:48But it does give me great pleasure to welcome you to our new store,
00:11:52which just happens to be here in Seattle.
00:11:55My mom and sister Rona's adopted hometown.
00:12:01And also to introduce to you what we feel is a line of innovative furniture
00:12:06that will add grace, comfort, and style to your home for years to come.
00:12:14I don't know how you do it.
00:12:16I look like I'm 150 years old.
00:12:18No, you don't.
00:12:19You look great.
00:12:20You're just tired from taking care of a husband, three kids, and mom all by yourself.
00:12:26I wish I was here to help you more.
00:12:30I wanted to talk to you about that, actually.
00:12:32Barney and I have volunteered to shop her on the kids' church camping trip,
00:12:36and I need your help.
00:12:38What do you need?
00:12:39I need you to stay with mom for two weeks.
00:12:41End of next month.
00:12:42Two weeks?
00:12:43Brody could take care of the business.
00:12:45Dennis could take care of the kids.
00:12:47I can't be away from my family for two more weeks, Rona.
00:12:51I, um, I could hire mom a private duty nurse,
00:12:55and it'll give you some time off.
00:12:58She doesn't want a nurse.
00:12:59She wants us.
00:13:01No, I know.
00:13:04Jeez.
00:13:05Claire.
00:13:06I'm sorry.
00:13:07I've never asked anything of you before.
00:13:09It's not that I don't want to, Ro.
00:13:11I do.
00:13:12I just can't be away for two more weeks.
00:13:14Dennis is all over me as it is.
00:13:17The timing is impossible.
00:13:19Look, I'll, um, I'll stay with her all day tomorrow.
00:13:22I'll even sleep over if she wants to.
00:13:25Do it.
00:13:26I just really hoped you could help me on this one.
00:13:32Mom, you're still so beautiful.
00:13:34Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
00:13:38My friend Elaine says that your new store is the best thing in Seattle.
00:13:44I can't wait for you to see it.
00:13:46See what your encouragement and your loan help build.
00:13:49Oh.
00:13:50I'm gonna leave you two alone.
00:13:52God knows Mom sees enough of me.
00:13:54Bye, dear.
00:13:55Bye.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:56All right.
00:13:57I'll take a cab back to the hotel.
00:13:59I'll call you tonight.
00:14:00Okay.
00:14:00Bye.
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:04So good to see you, honey.
00:14:06How you doing, Mom?
00:14:08Well, it's hard.
00:14:11I'm not able to do much but lie, hear, and think.
00:14:16Like you, I was always so busy.
00:14:21It's frustrating.
00:14:24All the things I wanted to do in life didn't.
00:14:28You did tons, starting way back when Daddy died.
00:14:32You were the one who kept us afloat.
00:14:34Oh.
00:14:35I chased my tail is what I did.
00:14:40Never could seem to get ahead.
00:14:43Oh, but you.
00:14:47Tell me everything.
00:14:49And Kiki is just amazing.
00:14:52She got a full scholarship into an art camp.
00:14:55Hmm.
00:14:57Sunshine.
00:14:59So, Dennis hasn't been very happy lately.
00:15:04I just feel that he hasn't really tried hard to get a new job.
00:15:08I was always so fond of Dennis.
00:15:12You're lucky you're such a good father.
00:15:16You seem sad, dear.
00:15:19No.
00:15:21I'm not sad at all.
00:15:22I love my work and the kids are just terrific.
00:15:26And it's a godsend that Dennis could, you know, be able to stay home all the time.
00:15:32It's just that I...
00:15:35Well, I just wish we could have supported the family together.
00:15:39In my day, if a man didn't support his family, he felt a complete failure.
00:15:46Oh, Claire.
00:15:47Ignore her.
00:15:48Ah.
00:15:49There you are.
00:15:51Time for your radiation.
00:15:53Oh, Claire.
00:15:54You run on, dear.
00:15:54I know you're tired after your trip.
00:15:56I usually just go to sleep after supper.
00:15:58You sure, Mom?
00:16:00Mm-mm.
00:16:01Mm-mm.
00:16:02I'll call you in the morning.
00:16:04Fly safe, sweetheart.
00:16:06Okay.
00:16:13Earth to Claire.
00:16:15Where'd you go?
00:16:17You remember when you and Dennis started at Paine Webber and I was pregnant with Johnny?
00:16:22Oh, yeah.
00:16:23I was still married to the lovely ex-Mrs. Brody.
00:16:26Stop.
00:16:27We didn't have a pot to pee in.
00:16:31Didn't it seem that life was a lot easier then?
00:16:35Yeah.
00:16:36Because we didn't know nothing.
00:16:39Oh, we knew we were in love?
00:16:41Knew our parents were healthy?
00:16:44We knew we were building a future.
00:16:50Don't worry about you, Mom.
00:16:52If she's anything like her daughter, she'll be just fine.
00:16:55I need to get home.
00:16:57Back to basics.
00:16:58Wait.
00:16:59Touch my kids.
00:17:00Smell the laundry.
00:17:02You know, the farther I get away, the more I realize home is my anchor.
00:17:07Come on!
00:17:08All right, all right.
00:17:08Let's go!
00:17:10Hey!
00:17:12I'm home!
00:17:14Kiki!
00:17:15Johnny!
00:17:19Hello?
00:17:23Hi there.
00:17:24Where's the kids?
00:17:26They're at my mom's.
00:17:28How come?
00:17:29I didn't want them here tonight.
00:17:34Okay.
00:17:35Okay.
00:17:37Is this some kind of romantic surprise?
00:17:41It's a really great idea.
00:17:44I'm gonna go take a shower.
00:17:47I'll answer the door.
00:17:49I'll meet you upstairs.
00:17:55Hello.
00:17:57Claire Raphael?
00:17:58Yes.
00:18:00What's this?
00:18:08Probate Family Court, Suffolk Division, Boston, Massachusetts.
00:18:20You are ordered as file pending the hearing, or until further notice of the court, it is ordered that Dennis
00:18:27Raphael is to have temporary custody of John and Clara Kate Raphael. The wife Claire Raphael is to vacate the
00:18:35marital premises? What the hell is this?
00:18:39Is this some kind of joke to drive home the fact that you don't like my working?
00:18:43It's no joke. I'm suing you for divorce.
00:18:46The judge has given me temporary custody of the children and ordered you to move out tonight.
00:18:53Right.
00:18:53Right.
00:18:55Come on, Dennis.
00:18:57What is this?
00:18:58For God's sakes, Claire.
00:18:59It's right there.
00:19:00I'm suing you for divorce.
00:19:02Why won't that register?
00:19:04Because it isn't the way two rational people who have been married for 15 years behave.
00:19:10Dennis, people talk to each other.
00:19:12I've tried talking.
00:19:13You can't be serious.
00:19:15I am.
00:19:17I'm very serious.
00:19:25Remember in couples therapy, we promised each other we agreed that we wouldn't make any radical moves.
00:19:33This is not radical. I've thought this through.
00:19:35Since you've been unwilling to hear me, I had to resort to this.
00:19:45Look.
00:19:47You want a trial separation? That's one thing.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:51But what's this about custody of the children and an order to vacate?
00:19:59Dennis.
00:20:01This is my home.
00:20:02I live here.
00:20:05A divorce?
00:20:07You never said that you wanted to talk about a divorce.
00:20:12You're not a responsible mother.
00:20:14Are you crazy?
00:20:16What could you have possibly said to a judge to convince him that I'm not a responsible mother?
00:20:21Between your mother and your work, you are in a state of personal crisis.
00:20:24The children are suffering.
00:20:26Suffering?
00:20:29Suffering? How?
00:20:31How is that?
00:20:31You're never here.
00:20:33For one thing.
00:20:34And when you are here, you're so preoccupied with your work that you forget the kids.
00:20:38Forget the kids? Forget the kids?
00:20:41What? Kiki's ballet lesson?
00:20:43I lost track of time.
00:20:45What about the little accident where the children were nearly killed?
00:20:47I was hit by a man having a heart attack, for God's sake!
00:20:50It wasn't my fault!
00:21:12Yes, this is Dennis Raphael and Willow.
00:21:14We spoke earlier.
00:21:15Yep.
00:21:16Yes, right away.
00:21:19Then there's you and Brody working all hours of the night!
00:21:23This is insane.
00:21:25The only reason why I started the business was because you stopped working!
00:21:31Yes, with Brody!
00:21:32We wouldn't have eaten if he didn't help.
00:21:37My God.
00:21:39What have you become?
00:21:41Why are you doing this?
00:21:43I didn't do it.
00:21:44You did it.
00:21:46The court says...
00:21:47I don't care what the court says.
00:21:49I only care about my kids.
00:21:51I need them and they need me.
00:22:03Come on in.
00:22:05She won't leave.
00:22:07She's becoming violent.
00:22:09Breaking things.
00:22:19You planned this.
00:22:21You set me up, you son of a bitch.
00:22:24Can you see that court order, ma'am?
00:22:26Yes.
00:22:30You're gonna have to leave the house right now.
00:22:32You don't have a choice.
00:22:33If you refuse, I'm gonna have to arrest you.
00:22:37Arrest me?
00:22:40I haven't done anything wrong.
00:23:06You have to go.
00:23:08Now, ma'am.
00:23:46Hey!
00:23:47Claire, I thought you were safely anchored at home.
00:23:51What's up?
00:23:53I got home, there was a man with a court order
00:23:56saying Dennis wanted a divorce and I had to leave the house.
00:23:59Wait a minute.
00:23:59Wait a minute.
00:24:00What are you talking about?
00:24:01You're not making any sense.
00:24:03Why does he want a divorce?
00:24:04Why do you want to do that?
00:24:06I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
00:24:08No.
00:24:08I was driving around.
00:24:09I didn't know where to go.
00:24:10No, no, no.
00:24:11It's all right.
00:24:12Listen.
00:24:12Why don't I just go get the keys to the car and I'll take you back over there.
00:24:14We'll clear this all up.
00:24:16I'm not allowed to go back.
00:24:23I didn't know who he was.
00:24:26He was so cold and shut down.
00:24:35He's keeping kids for me.
00:24:38He said that.
00:24:39All right, all right.
00:24:39Just come in.
00:24:40Come on.
00:24:45Did you know that he was thinking about this?
00:24:48I knew he wasn't unhappy.
00:24:53But I never thought, can he really do this to me?
00:24:58Can he throw me out of my house?
00:25:03Look, I gotta call the kids.
00:25:05Wait, wait, wait.
00:25:07I'd rather that you talk to my lawyer first.
00:25:09I don't really want to talk to your lawyer first.
00:25:11You don't have to use him, of course, but he's very fair.
00:25:15And I'm sure he'll be able to tell you what the deal is with the kids.
00:25:17And I would feel better, that's all.
00:25:20I don't want to jeopardize anything.
00:25:22Carter, hi.
00:25:23This is Nick Brody.
00:25:24Listen, I'm so sorry to call you at home.
00:25:26But I'm here with my partner, Claire Raphael.
00:25:29And she's just been served with an order to vacate.
00:25:33And we just felt she needed to talk to somebody.
00:25:36Sure, Nick.
00:25:37But I'm cooking supper.
00:25:39Oh, I'm sorry, but we won't take that much of your time.
00:25:41It's really been a great shock to her.
00:25:43She came home.
00:25:44So she had no idea?
00:25:45Yeah, it came right out of the blue.
00:25:48Her husband's name is Dennis.
00:25:51And you know what?
00:25:52I think it would be better if you just talked to her yourself.
00:25:54All right.
00:25:54Okay, just a minute.
00:25:55Okay, this is Carter Petrie.
00:26:00Um, hello, Carter.
00:26:03Hi, Claire.
00:26:04I'm sorry to hear about all this.
00:26:06It's always a shock, even when you know it's coming.
00:26:09Yeah, it is.
00:26:10There really isn't much we can do tonight.
00:26:13But if you'll drop by my office tomorrow morning, we'll talk a little and we'll see where to start.
00:26:19Well, actually, um, maybe you could give me some advice tonight.
00:26:26Dennis took our children to his mother's.
00:26:29Can I, uh, just go there and tell them that I'm home?
00:26:34Actually, no.
00:26:35No, you can't see them.
00:26:37You can certainly call them.
00:26:39But it might be easier if you told them you were still out of town.
00:26:42That way you wouldn't have to explain anything tonight.
00:26:44What's the lawyer's name on the court order?
00:26:51Plaintiff's lawyer, Phoebe Harris.
00:26:53Uh-huh.
00:26:55You try and get some rest, and I will see you tomorrow, all right?
00:26:59Yeah.
00:27:01Bye.
00:27:01Bye.
00:27:03What did he say?
00:27:06He said that I can't see the kids, I can't go to the house.
00:27:09But I could call them.
00:27:11Good.
00:27:18Emma?
00:27:22Could I talk to the kids?
00:27:27Kiki, it's your mom.
00:27:29See, Grandma told you she'd call.
00:27:32Hi, Mom.
00:27:33Can you come get us?
00:27:34Grandma says we have to go to bed at 8 o'clock.
00:27:36Well, uh, why don't you get into bed when she says,
00:27:42and then ask her to tell you a story, okay, baby?
00:27:45Is Johnny there?
00:27:47Johnny, it's Mom!
00:27:53Hi, Mom.
00:27:54Where are you?
00:27:55Hi, honey.
00:27:56I'm in Seattle.
00:27:58How was practice today?
00:28:00It was okay.
00:28:01When are you coming home?
00:28:02Johnny, look.
00:28:03Nana really needs me for a little bit here, so, um...
00:28:09So I'm gonna stay.
00:28:11But I'll call you tomorrow.
00:28:13Okay?
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:17What?
00:28:19Sweet dreams.
00:28:21Good night, Mom.
00:28:22I love you.
00:28:23I love you, too.
00:28:32So this is how it's gonna be.
00:28:35I'm gonna have to lie to my kids.
00:28:45Claire.
00:28:46Carter Petrie.
00:28:47Please, come in.
00:28:59I know that Dennis and I can work this out.
00:29:02He doesn't really want a divorce.
00:29:04It's just an ill-conceived emotional move.
00:29:08Um, our counselor says that, uh...
00:29:11His papers don't look ill-conceived.
00:29:14Oh.
00:29:15He wants sole custody of the children,
00:29:18child support until they're 18,
00:29:19and maintenance.
00:29:21That's what we used to call alimony.
00:29:23And he wants half your business.
00:29:26He claims that with your business booming
00:29:28and your mother ill,
00:29:29you're too busy for your family.
00:29:32You've been gone 34 days of the last 90.
00:29:36You've canceled appointments at school.
00:29:37You're seeing a therapist.
00:29:39You've endangered the children.
00:29:41Oh, he's talking about that car crash
00:29:43that wasn't my fault.
00:29:45And...
00:29:45And the therapist is seeing the both of us.
00:29:48I...
00:29:48I don't believe this.
00:29:49This isn't Dennis.
00:29:53Has divorce ever been discussed?
00:29:58He's talked of separation,
00:30:01but only when he's discouraged about himself.
00:30:04It's...
00:30:04He's hired a very tough lawyer.
00:30:05That may explain it.
00:30:07Although I'm seeing more and more of this attitude
00:30:10from men who...
00:30:13whose spouses are the breadwinners.
00:30:15I don't know what you mean.
00:30:17Men are asking for custody?
00:30:19It could be some of the old,
00:30:20what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
00:30:24I see.
00:30:24You mean men are trying to get even
00:30:27for the way they've been...
00:30:28Yes.
00:30:29For the way they, traditionally, were...
00:30:32Taken to the cleaners.
00:30:35The...
00:30:35practice of the law,
00:30:37as gender neutral as it tries to be,
00:30:39still reflects the biases in our society.
00:30:42This judge, in your case, for example,
00:30:44the one Dennis' lawyer has maneuvered us
00:30:47into having to deal with,
00:30:49is a conservative Boston Catholic
00:30:51who is not at all sympathetic to working women.
00:30:53Oh, great.
00:30:55He thinks moms belong in the home
00:30:57and should not be working.
00:30:59I am at home as much as I can
00:31:01and still support the family.
00:31:04My husband doesn't bring in any income at all.
00:31:07Look, Dennis took on most of the domestic side
00:31:11once he lost his job.
00:31:13And I thought he was happy doing it.
00:31:17How does a judge make a decision like this
00:31:20after only hearing one side?
00:31:22They do it all the time.
00:31:24And my job is to make sure
00:31:26that he hears the other side.
00:31:29When do I get to see my children?
00:31:32We go before the judge next week.
00:31:34You'll be in violation
00:31:35if you try to see them before that.
00:31:37Phone contact, that's all.
00:31:44Hey, morning.
00:31:50You up to talking?
00:31:53No.
00:31:55Claire sent you over here?
00:31:56Oh, come on.
00:31:57I love both you guys.
00:31:58You know that.
00:31:59What's going on?
00:32:01My lawyer told me not to talk to you.
00:32:03Well, screw your lawyer.
00:32:06Come on, Dennis.
00:32:07We know each other better than we know ourselves.
00:32:09But I gotta tell you,
00:32:10you've lost me on this one, man.
00:32:14I told Claire it wasn't another woman.
00:32:17Is it?
00:32:23My lawyer told me not to talk to you
00:32:25because you are Claire's partner
00:32:26and you may end up telling her everything that I say.
00:32:29That would be good, right?
00:32:32Come on.
00:32:33You loved each other.
00:32:34I know that.
00:32:34I was there.
00:32:35I introduced you.
00:32:35I was your best man.
00:32:36Yeah, you were there.
00:32:37You were there.
00:32:37You saw it.
00:32:38Well, Claire doesn't think I...
00:32:41work for anything around here.
00:32:42She thinks all I do is sit around
00:32:43and feel sorry for myself
00:32:43while she's out busting her ass for the family.
00:32:45Yeah, she has busted her ass.
00:32:47And you've done your fair share
00:32:48of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself.
00:32:50I was fired.
00:32:51And why you haven't lined anything else up
00:32:53is a mystery to me.
00:32:54You're a bright guy.
00:32:57You're smart.
00:32:57You used to be driven.
00:32:58You don't think I tried to set something else up?
00:33:00You think I just sit around here
00:33:02and wait for the phone to ring?
00:33:03How would I know?
00:33:03You don't talk to me anymore.
00:33:04How could I?
00:33:05I don't see you anymore since you partnered with my wife.
00:33:09Wow.
00:33:11Well, I know that Claire asked you to partner with her first.
00:33:15But something about your ego comes to mind.
00:33:18I run this house.
00:33:19I run this house!
00:33:21She doesn't think it's important that somebody be here
00:33:25when the kids get home.
00:33:26What are you talking about?
00:33:27Claire was home for years.
00:33:28And I've got a ten-year-old.
00:33:30They don't need a nanny as much as they need a chauffeur.
00:33:32And this is ridiculous.
00:33:33She takes care of them.
00:33:34She feeds them.
00:33:35She washes them.
00:33:36She reads them.
00:33:36She loves them as much as you do.
00:33:38When she's here...
00:33:40Claire does what she can, Dennis.
00:33:44We had no idea the business was going to take off the way it did.
00:33:48Dennis, don't you want to try to fix things up
00:33:50before you tear apart everything you've worked for here?
00:33:53Huh?
00:33:58Hello?
00:33:59Yep.
00:34:00Yep.
00:34:01Sitting right here.
00:34:02Okay, I'll bring it right over.
00:34:05Gotta go.
00:34:06Johnny left his math book.
00:34:07Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:34:10Let's go out for a beer tonight.
00:34:11All right?
00:34:12Let Claire take care of the kids.
00:34:13It'll be like old times.
00:34:14We'll hash this out.
00:34:15I can't do that, Brody.
00:34:16It's none of your business.
00:34:18It's not your marriage.
00:34:19You stay out of it!
00:34:26You stay out of it.
00:34:26God damn it.
00:34:28Hey, there's Claire.
00:34:29All right.
00:34:30All right, Claire.
00:34:31Congratulations.
00:34:33Claire, congratulations on your award.
00:34:35We're so proud.
00:34:36Woman of the Year.
00:34:38This is going to be so good for business.
00:34:40Oh, yeah.
00:34:43Claire, there's a shipment of Italian cotton at customs.
00:34:47They say you have to sign for it personally.
00:34:50Betty, I have a personal thing I need to deal with.
00:35:05Dennis?
00:35:06Hi, it's me.
00:35:08Hi.
00:35:10Look, you made your point.
00:35:12I got it, okay?
00:35:15You, uh...
00:35:18I'm sorry I was so angry last night.
00:35:22You think, um...
00:35:25Do you think we could meet somewhere and, uh...
00:35:29And you could tell me what this is all about?
00:35:34You know what this is about, Claire?
00:35:36Could you please tell Brody to stay the hell out of it?
00:35:40Okay.
00:35:41So we'll, uh...
00:35:42We'll do it on the phone if you like.
00:35:45Why don't you start at the top of your list?
00:35:47What?
00:35:48You...
00:35:49You wanna have, like, a meeting?
00:35:50So we can go over our goals and objectives?
00:35:53No, Dennis.
00:35:54I just wanna find out what's bothering you.
00:35:57So, uh...
00:35:58We could work on finding a solution.
00:36:00Something that...
00:36:01Something that'll work for all of us.
00:36:03I'm not an employee of yours, Claire.
00:36:06Is that how you feel?
00:36:07Like a...
00:36:08Employee?
00:36:10When did that start?
00:36:12I don't...
00:36:13I don't wanna talk about it.
00:36:14Well, I'm sorry.
00:36:15You have to talk about it.
00:36:17You just can't destroy our lives and not give me a reason.
00:36:22I mean, what has changed so much between us that...
00:36:24That we can't work it out?
00:36:26I don't have to answer to you, Claire.
00:36:28I don't have to prove myself to you, Claire.
00:36:31I don't have to talk to you!
00:36:32Anymore!
00:36:33Dennis, please.
00:36:34Don't go there.
00:36:54Oh, God.
00:36:58Here's our flag for Port Raphael.
00:37:01Flag for Fort Raphael.
00:37:04This is so neat, Daddy.
00:37:06We did such a good job.
00:37:08Can I sleep at it tonight?
00:37:09No.
00:37:10Because I am.
00:37:11I said it first.
00:37:12Here's what you said.
00:37:14Well, looks like there's enough room for the both of yous in there.
00:37:18So, why don't you both go get your sleeping bag?
00:37:21Yes!
00:37:23Yes!
00:37:25This is so fun.
00:37:27I can't wait to show Mom this.
00:37:28She'll love it.
00:37:29As soon as she gets home, we'll show her.
00:37:30Maybe she can sleep with us, too.
00:37:34I knew he was mad that I invited you over on a school night.
00:37:39I also knew that he was unhappy with himself.
00:37:42Come on, Claire.
00:37:44In all the years I've known you, I have never seen you play the naive card.
00:37:48What do you mean?
00:37:49I mean that there is something going on here that you don't want to look at.
00:37:53Something you've done, you've said, you've not said.
00:37:56Well, he says that we make these decisions and then I just go off and do whatever I want.
00:38:02Do you?
00:38:03Sometimes, sure.
00:38:05He's jealous of your business.
00:38:07We couldn't have lived without the business, Alice.
00:38:09I know that, but it's done so well.
00:38:11I mean, maybe it's a little more than threatening.
00:38:14I can't do anything about that.
00:38:17Oh, I'm working as hard as I can just to keep this thing going.
00:38:20What am I supposed to do? Make it not threatening, too?
00:38:22So are we just a little angry here?
00:38:26Yes, I'm angry. The bastard's tearing up my life.
00:38:30Hey, it's not just your life, Claire. It's his life, too.
00:38:34Maybe he didn't feel like he was in it.
00:38:38He wasn't in it, Alice.
00:38:41He quit on me.
00:38:43He quit work. He quit talk. He quit sex.
00:38:47So he's been mad at you, too.
00:38:50You've got to look at your part in this.
00:38:52For what, Alice? What did I do? Tell me what I did.
00:38:55You did his job better than he did.
00:38:57You wrecked man and woman's time-honored role.
00:39:01You took over the hunter and gatherer's job.
00:39:04Look, if Dennis evaporated tomorrow, you'd go on.
00:39:08Hell, I'd be mad at you, too.
00:39:14Come here.
00:39:23And it's gonna be a robber.
00:39:25Oh, really?
00:39:30All right, Claire, our main objective here is to make a good impression on the judge
00:39:36and to have a good evaluator appointed.
00:39:38It's the evaluator, in most cases, who decides who gets the kids.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:43I'll do all the talking.
00:39:45You stay calm.
00:39:49Right.
00:39:55Your Honor, as you've read, my client was stunned by the order issued against her last Thursday.
00:40:02She has led an exemplary life.
00:40:04She's strong mentally and physically.
00:40:07She's well-known in her community.
00:40:09She's respected by her children's teachers, by their pastor, their doctor, and their friends.
00:40:16Her husband has never before expressed an interest in full-time parenting.
00:40:21Nor did he ever suggest to her that she was an unfit mother.
00:40:24She had no idea that he was serious about wanting a divorce.
00:40:30Behind her back, he came to this court and presented evidence purporting to show her in a state of personal
00:40:36crisis.
00:40:37The evidence to that effect is filled with coincidence, erroneous supposition, even a few outright lies.
00:40:45To put it bluntly, he set her up.
00:40:48Objection, Your Honor.
00:40:49There's no proof of any setup.
00:40:51And no proof against it.
00:40:52Mr. Raphael deliberately manipulated the situation in order to make his wife look bad.
00:40:57We therefore request that the order to vacate be nullified and the children be returned to her care.
00:41:02We're not here to try this case, counsel.
00:41:06What the father's affidavit says, the children are doing quite well without her.
00:41:11They don't even know they're without me.
00:41:13Mrs. Raphael, this is a hearing.
00:41:16Nothing you say has any bearing since you have not been put under oath.
00:41:19In this proceeding, your counsel speaks for you.
00:41:23Do you understand?
00:41:24Yes, sir.
00:41:25Your Honor, we request that she be put under oath.
00:41:28Further, we would like to bring in witnesses to attest to her diligence as a mother.
00:41:34No time.
00:41:35Since the parties disagree on who shall have custody, I'll name an evaluator who will prepare a recommendation.
00:41:42Any requests?
00:41:43Janice Goldman.
00:41:44John Eden, Your Honor.
00:41:46John Eden it is.
00:41:47He will study the behavior and emotions of the family relationships, then make his recommendation.
00:41:52How long will that be?
00:41:54Mr. Petrie, remind your client she may not speak at this hearing.
00:41:58Your Honor, regarding temporary custody.
00:42:02The children will stay with their father.
00:42:04Can the mother live in the house until the evaluator files his report?
00:42:08Is that acceptable?
00:42:10No, Your Honor.
00:42:11Mrs. Raphael is clearly angry.
00:42:14She became violent at her home the night she was served.
00:42:16The police were called.
00:42:17There's no telling what she might do to her husband or to the children.
00:42:21I would never.
00:42:23The order stands pending the evaluator's report.
00:42:27Father stays at home with the children.
00:42:30Mother travels anyway.
00:42:31She'll find lodging when she's in town.
00:42:33Visitation rights, then.
00:42:35Wednesdays and Saturdays.
00:42:37On the matter of temporary support, father will have same access to funds as he's had all along.
00:42:42Next case.
00:42:46No time.
00:42:48This is my life, my children.
00:42:50He says he has no time.
00:42:52Carter, this is so unfair.
00:42:54Fairness has little to do with divorce proceedings, Claire.
00:42:57Carter.
00:42:58It's always good to see you.
00:43:00My client says Mrs. Raphael can see the children on Wednesdays after they get home from school.
00:43:04If she wants to pick up a few good things, she can do so one hour prior to that visitation.
00:43:10Rona?
00:43:11Claire?
00:43:12Yeah, Mom's not doing so well.
00:43:14Well, they're giving her morphine for the pain, but she's going in and out of consciousness.
00:43:19Her vitals are unstable.
00:43:22I think you should get here as soon as possible.
00:43:28Okay.
00:43:30Bye.
00:43:33Carter, I have to go.
00:43:35My sister says there's very little time.
00:43:39Your mom?
00:43:42I have to go.
00:43:44I'm sorry.
00:43:51If I had known she was this sick, I wouldn't have left last week.
00:43:56That's not what she wants.
00:43:58She wants us to live our lives.
00:44:02It just feels like I missed the signs of so many things.
00:44:12The guilt is overwhelming.
00:44:14You didn't miss the signs.
00:44:16Knowing you, you probably saw them all, but hope they meant something else.
00:44:22I knew Dennis was unhappy, and I just kept pushing it down so far.
00:44:28I stopped feeling.
00:44:31Do you still love him?
00:44:35Hi.
00:44:43Hello, Doctor.
00:44:44How are we doing?
00:44:47About the same.
00:44:50How bad is it?
00:44:53Well, with a will as strong as hers, she could go on for weeks.
00:44:57Even months.
00:44:59It won't be for a while.
00:45:02Okay.
00:45:13Listen.
00:45:17Per.
00:45:20Listen.
00:45:22Listen to our mom.
00:45:24It takes two.
00:45:28One to talk.
00:45:31And one to listen.
00:45:35You'll find the way.
00:45:38We all do.
00:46:05We all do.
00:46:08Hey.
00:46:09How's your mom?
00:46:11She's hanging in there.
00:46:16You okay?
00:46:18I promised myself I wouldn't cry or scream.
00:46:22Listen.
00:46:22I swear to God.
00:46:24You're gonna be okay.
00:46:25Your kids are gonna be okay.
00:46:33Okay. What was that for?
00:46:35I was remembering when the lovely ex-Mrs. Brody gave me the boot and I went back to get my
00:46:40things.
00:46:41Where'd you go after?
00:46:43I went to a place full of laughter and love. A place that was very comfortable, very welcoming.
00:46:49Where'd you go?
00:46:52I went to your house, remember?
00:46:55Yours and Dennis's?
00:46:59I remember.
00:47:28I'm going to be getting to it.
00:47:28I went to a place.
00:47:28I'm out of it.
00:47:29I'm out of it.
00:47:29I'm out of it.
00:47:49I think it's time we tell the kids.
00:47:54Yeah, I suppose it is.
00:48:04This for me?
00:48:05It's got your name on it.
00:48:20I guess I'll just go and pack some of my things.
00:48:41I do just fine when you're gone.
00:48:43Then you walk back into the house and make me feel worthless all over again.
00:48:47How?
00:48:50I haven't said a thing.
00:48:52You don't have to.
00:48:59I want you to know one thing.
00:49:02I will never give you the children.
00:49:07I'll tell them after you leave.
00:49:09No, you won't.
00:49:10I'll tell them while I'm here.
00:49:16Hey!
00:49:18Mom?
00:49:19Hey!
00:49:20Where are you?
00:49:20I'm here!
00:49:21Mom!
00:49:22Yes!
00:49:23How are you?
00:49:25How are you?
00:49:26I missed you guys so much.
00:49:28How's that?
00:49:30She's good.
00:49:31She's fighting this really hard.
00:49:33And Aunt Rona says, hello.
00:49:36Hello.
00:49:37How you been?
00:49:37Make some grace?
00:49:39Sure.
00:49:40You can make them, but you can't eat them until after dinner.
00:49:42Dad.
00:49:43That's it, Kate.
00:49:44Let's go.
00:49:44Let's make them.
00:49:44Let's make them.
00:49:45Let's make them.
00:49:45Let's get them.
00:49:48Mom, I scored eight points yesterday.
00:49:50Dad said it was the best game that I ever played.
00:49:53Good for you.
00:49:54I got to take the classroom fish home for the weekend.
00:49:57Really?
00:49:57And it's still alive?
00:49:59Mom!
00:50:01Come on, cookie maker.
00:50:06Oh, perfect.
00:50:11I missed you.
00:50:13Can you get a job where you don't have to go away?
00:50:22You want to go for a bike ride after this?
00:50:25Yeah.
00:50:26What are we having for supper?
00:50:31I don't know.
00:50:36Um, I'm not allowed to stay for supper.
00:50:42Why?
00:50:48Your dad and I are, um, in a difficult place.
00:50:57We're going to, uh, get a divorce.
00:51:04And the judge says that dad is the one who's going to stay with you for a while.
00:51:09Well, it's nobody's fault.
00:51:15You're not going to lose either one of us, okay?
00:51:21And we're both here for you.
00:51:24We both love you.
00:51:27We're just caught living in different houses from now on.
00:51:36But we're both still going to be your parents.
00:51:39We're both still going to do things together.
00:51:43No!
00:51:46No!
00:51:48No!
00:51:55What are you doing?
00:51:57What was the one?
00:52:00Johnny?
00:52:01Kiki?
00:52:07Johnny?
00:52:08Listen, we're all going to be okay.
00:52:11Go away!
00:52:13Go away!
00:52:14Johnny, why are you getting a divorce?
00:52:20Because.
00:52:25Johnny.
00:52:27Johnny, open up.
00:52:33Johnny.
00:52:35Johnny, please open up.
00:52:36I want to talk to you.
00:52:38Please.
00:52:40Please.
00:52:41Please.
00:52:42Please.
00:52:43Please.
00:52:46Mommy's got to go, Johnny.
00:52:48Listen, it isn't always going to be like this.
00:52:51The court just needs time to figure out how it's going to arrange things.
00:52:56How can a court decide how to arrange things?
00:52:58It doesn't even know us.
00:53:00It's the law.
00:53:02And when two people get a divorce, they have to obey the laws.
00:53:06They hate the laws.
00:53:09I'll call you tonight.
00:53:11And tomorrow, before you go to school.
00:53:15And I'll see you Saturday.
00:53:17And I'll come to you game Friday, okay?
00:53:21We're going to work it out.
00:53:23I promise.
00:53:24We're going to work it out.
00:53:25This is all Dad's fault.
00:53:27Dad.
00:53:29Dad.
00:53:39Mommy.
00:53:40Mommy.
00:53:41Mommy.

00:56:33get this and i had to drive adam to school this morning he missed the bus again but when we
00:56:38got
00:56:39there he jumped out of the car and i rolled down the window and i yelled i love you adam
00:56:43he looked
00:56:44back at me he went good he's gone
00:56:55you know i still don't get how dennis can do this legally i'm wondering if he really wants the kids
00:57:03or he's just using them for protection from what for avoiding getting on with his own life
00:57:12he wants to win taking the kids and the money would be winning
00:57:20he wants to hurt me
00:57:21oh he doesn't know what he wants claire he's lost and this didn't just happen overnight
00:57:28you two are on totally different wavelengths yeah but we wanted it to work honey whatever you wanted
00:57:36you left way behind in the dust maybe it didn't happen consciously but
00:57:42you both chosen to move beyond old dreams
00:57:53thanks for meeting me here i can't stay inside anymore
00:57:59i just lose it fine i'm happy to be out myself
00:58:06so i've been reading about this evaluation and the only thing i want to make sure of is that
00:58:11the kids won't have to come to court
00:58:13they don't usually but the judge may want to speak to them in his chambers
00:58:19but what if he asks them to choose between dennis and me that would be terrible for them carter
00:58:26isn't there some way not to involve them
00:58:29there are three ways actually you can give the kids to dennis
00:58:33he can give them to you or you can agree on joint custody
00:58:40can the judge award joint custody yes but if it's a nasty debate and the case goes to trial
00:58:46the kids usually go to the non-working parent to the one who stays at home and takes care of
00:58:52them
00:58:52and the money usually follows the kids
00:58:56i feel like i'm being punished
00:58:59well you are in a way family law is still stuck in a criminal view of divorce
00:59:05let's find out who killed the marriage and punish them
00:59:08but we didn't kill the marriage neither dennis nor i
00:59:12the marriage just died
00:59:14claire it doesn't matter what the truth is
00:59:16if you don't fight dennis if you don't make him seem like the bad guy somehow
00:59:19he could get the children and child support and maintenance
00:59:23is that what you want i don't want any of this
00:59:28unfortunately marriage is not like other contracts in my experience
00:59:32as soon as one person wants out it's over
00:59:41okay tell me what to do carter
00:59:44you fight not to get ruined financially
00:59:48and you fight to get as much time with your kids as you can
00:59:55you know the drill leave your name and message after you hear the tone
00:59:59don't hang up
01:00:00hey alice it's claire
01:00:03listen pretty funny
01:00:05our accountant called today to tell me he had to stay neutral
01:00:08because the last time he got involved in a divorce case he got sued

01:01:20can we talk in the kitchen
01:01:22yeah sure
01:01:23okay go wait with dad
01:01:35what on earth happened
01:01:37your son called the county abuse hotline
01:01:40he's asked to be removed from the home
01:01:42he claims that your husband's abusing him
01:01:45my husband never hit johnny ever in his entire life
01:01:52can i get a drink of water
01:01:53yes of course help yourself
01:01:56okay what's this about
01:01:58i mean what did you do
01:02:00i didn't do anything
01:02:01i assumed you put him up to it
01:02:02why would i do that
01:02:04to prove that i'm a bad father
01:02:05i had nothing to do with this
01:02:12did you say something
01:02:14did you punish him for something
01:02:14i didn't do anything claire
01:02:16our son just calls the police
01:02:19i find that hard to believe
01:02:21i think it was a child abuse program at school
01:02:23that gave him the idea
01:02:24oh a child abuse program
01:02:26yeah
01:02:26claire we are both in trouble here
01:02:28they could take him away from us
01:02:29that's exactly what you were trying to do to me
01:02:32this has nothing to do with that
01:02:34the court will say we're unfit parents
01:02:36that's exactly what you told the judge about me dennis
01:02:40do you want her to take johnny away
01:02:41no
01:02:42i don't want any of this
01:02:45i wanted a husband
01:02:47i wanted a marriage
01:02:48i wanted a family
01:02:50and our son apparently feels the same way
01:02:53i'm not sure how to proceed here
01:02:54we've never had a child ask for protection
01:02:56when there's no charge of physical abuse
01:03:00does johnny want to come and live with me
01:03:02you're not taking him claire
01:03:03living with me has got to be better
01:03:05than a foster home dennis
01:03:09jeez
01:03:10i mean is that where you would take my son
01:03:14if we take him into custody
01:03:15i don't know where the judge will put him exactly
01:03:18it could be a detention center
01:03:21can i go talk to mom
01:03:25is that why you did this
01:03:26to get your mom to come over
01:03:28i already told you why i did it
01:03:30my dad is making me crazy
01:03:32he's making me want to
01:03:34break things
01:03:36you know hurt people
01:03:39like he
01:03:40hurt you
01:03:43tell me how he hurt you
01:03:45did he hit you
01:03:46did he hit you
01:03:47no
01:03:49so he didn't abuse you physically
01:03:54is that right
01:04:00i can't stay here
01:04:01i can't
01:04:02you have to
01:04:03look johnny
01:04:04i may be wrong here
01:04:06but i get the feeling
01:04:07that what you're trying to do
01:04:08is get your folks
01:04:09back together
01:04:11what is it you want here johnny
01:04:13do you want to go downtown
01:04:15because if what you want to do
01:04:16is to get the custody order changed
01:04:18the juvenile judge
01:04:19he can't do that
01:04:21the only choice he can make
01:04:22is to take you away
01:04:24from both your parents
01:04:27do you know what you want
01:04:37i don't want them to fight over me
01:04:39i don't want to be the prize
01:04:41like whoever wins
01:04:42gets to take care of me
01:04:43i don't like what dad did to mom
01:04:45to kiki and me
01:04:46throwing her out like that
01:04:47but that wasn't your dad
01:04:49that was the judge
01:04:49yeah but it was dad
01:04:50who asked him to
01:04:51wasn't it
01:04:54go on
01:04:57i don't like it
01:04:58that we're with you
01:04:58more than mom
01:05:00it should be the same
01:05:01and you should pick straws
01:05:02or something for the house
01:05:03it shouldn't just go to dad
01:05:05because he thought of it first
01:05:07it ought to be fair
01:05:08is what i'm saying
01:05:09to both of you
01:05:12i think i better call my lawyer
01:05:14if everybody wants to call lawyers
01:05:16we might as well take johnny
01:05:17into protective custody
01:05:18right now
01:05:18no wait a minute
01:05:19wait
01:05:20ah can't we find a solution

01:11:26i think i'm afraid to go back out there
01:11:32you know when you and claire started to make it big the mr mom thing got comfortable
01:11:39and i thought i did it well even though every time claire came through the door she
01:11:44redid everything her way
01:11:50this may surprise you
01:11:54but for the first time in my life i don't feel needed
01:11:59not by claire not by the kids
01:12:04and i don't like it
01:12:07and it's tearing me up
01:12:18all the animals cheered and after that hair never laughed at tortoise again

01:12:59is he gonna be mad at me for like the rest of my life
01:13:01no

01:13:10is that okay
01:13:12daddy and i are your family
01:13:14and we'll still be your family whether we're divorced or not
01:13:18and when somebody dies in your family
01:13:21you need who's ever left
01:13:26a child charging his parent with abuse
01:13:28trying to get his custody changed i've never heard of such a thing
01:13:32why didn't you call me
01:13:34we can sue the county on this i'll bet
01:13:37do you think she put him up to it
01:13:40this could cost your wife a fortune
01:13:42she didn't put him up to it
01:13:44i think all three of them are pretty upset with the way i
01:13:47we handled this
01:13:48well it's okay for her to be upset
01:13:51kids have nothing to do with divorce
01:13:54now the first thing we have to do is get a restraining order on that funeral trip
01:13:59mr raphael for all you know
01:14:00she may be planning on taking them out of the country
01:14:02and you'll never see them again
01:14:04do we know for a fact the mother's actually dead
01:14:07now that's a little out of line
