Desperate Housewives Season 1 Episode 8
Transcript
00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives...
00:03I just want to move this place fast.
00:05I'll call you tomorrow.
00:06Edie, wait!
00:07It's so incomprehensible to me that Edie Britt would try to destroy us.
00:10For five grand, she's hurt. Ten grand, she's gone.
00:13Some neighbors hired help.
00:14How am I supposed to pull off a formal dinner with no warning?
00:17I don't know.
00:18And some helped themselves.
00:20I hate that she's always watching us.
00:21Some just couldn't stop.
00:23Smile.
00:25And one...
00:28...didn't stop in time.
00:30Oh, Andrew.
00:31I need your help, honey.
00:33Mama?
00:38There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner.
00:42Of course, not everyone who reads this book feels guilt over the bad things they do.
00:47But Brie Vandekamp did.
00:49In fact, Brie had spent most of her life feeling guilty.
00:54As a child, she felt guilty about not getting straight A's.
00:59As a teenager, she felt guilty about letting her boyfriend go to second base.
01:06As a newlywed, she felt guilty about taking three weeks to get out her thank you cards.
01:12But she knew the transgressions of her past were nothing compared with the sin she was about to commit.
01:18Can't we just go to the police and tell them it was an accident?
01:21This wasn't some simple DUI.
01:23Not only was your brother drinking, Andrew left the scene of the crime.
01:27That makes it a hit and run.
01:29Well, maybe I could go to Canada.
01:30You know, until the statute of limitations is up.
01:33You really think mom and dad are gonna foot the bell while you go moose hunting for seven years?
01:36If Carlos' mother dies, there is no statute of limitations.
01:40Right, because then it's murder.
01:41Shut up!
01:42You shut up!
01:43How could it be murder? It was an accident!
01:48We have to get rid of the car.
01:57But we can't sell it.
01:58The police might find it and there could be DNA.
02:01We'll take the car to a bad part of town.
02:03We'll leave the keys in the ignition and the door's unlocked.
02:06If the police don't find it, we'll get the insurance money.
02:08And if they do, it wasn't in our possession.
02:13Anyone could have hit Mrs. Solis.
02:16That sounds good.
02:20Brie, are you sure?
02:21Our son could spend the rest of his life in jail. I won't allow that.
02:25Brie knew what she was about to do was wrong.
02:28But like most sinners, she would worry about her guilt tomorrow.
02:33Well, everybody should go wash up.
02:36We're having pancakes for breakfast.

03:12Drлять
03:23Not since my own suicide had violence intruded upon the serenity of life on Wisteria Lane in such a conspicuous
03:30fashion.
03:31Needless to say, my friends attacked the problem head on.
03:35Lynette brought the broom, Susan brought the trash bags, and Brie brought the industrial strength solvent.
03:43Woo! That stuff is strong.
03:45It has to be. I don't want Gabrielle and Carlos coming home to this ugly reminder in front of their
03:50house.
03:52So, has anyone been over there?
03:54Julie and I went over this morning.
03:56How's Anita doing?
03:58She's been in a coma ever since she came out of ER.
04:00Nobody knows when or even if she'll wake up.
04:03This is awful. Carlos must be just devastated.
04:06I hope she wakes up soon. Maybe she can tell us who was driving that car.
04:09We can only hope.
04:12Slow down, you jerk! This is a residential neighborhood!
04:18Wow, that's quite a pitching arm you've got there.
04:21It pisses me off. I've got four kids, you know.
04:23I was up all night reading statistics online.
04:25One out of every four traffic accidents happens on residential streets.
04:28I hope whoever hit Juanita gets put away for life.
04:33Don't you think that's a little bit extreme?
04:36An innocent woman gets hit by a car and the driver just takes off? I don't think it's extreme.
04:47You should go home and get some rest, eat something.
04:50You have a ton of messages from work to knock a call that said it was urgent.
04:54Carlos, I can stay here with your mother.
04:55I need to be here if she wakes up.
04:57You can't go on like this. You have to take care of yourself.
05:00What if she dies?
05:01Yes. People slip into comas all the time and never come out.
05:04Don't say that. We need to stay positive.
05:08Mr. and Mrs. Solis?
05:10John!
05:13Is it okay if I come in?
05:14Of course.
05:23Mr. Solis, I'm so sorry this happened.
05:28It means a lot that you came.
05:41Look, I think I'm going to go down to the chapel and pray.
05:45You want to come?
05:48Um, no.
05:49I think I will stay here with Mama.
05:55Is it all right if I come?
05:56Of course.
05:58We need all the prayers we can get.
06:11Mrs. Solis, it's time for a sponge bath.
06:15Come again?
06:16Sometimes family members prefer to administer sponge baths themselves.
06:22I think I'll pass.
06:30Martha.
06:33Where's your purse?
06:35Over there. Why?
06:42What are you doing?
06:44I am taking back the $40 that you stole out of my purse.
06:47E.D.
06:48We both know you did it. Now hand it over.
06:50I have taken nothing from your purse.
06:53And if you're missing money, I'd ask one of those strange men you parade through here at all hours.
06:58I am not going to apologize for having a healthy sex life.
07:02Healthy? I'm going to have to burn every sheet you've touched.
07:04I want my money.
07:06And I want those nonfat peach yogurts.
07:08Yes. They didn't just walk out of that fridge by themselves.
07:11Well, you can deduct it from the $40 that you're going to give me now.
07:15You're my best friend. Why would I steal from you?
07:18It's no secret that you've been having financial problems.
07:21I hear you bitching on the phone to your bank.
07:23That's it.
07:24I can put up with your debauchery and your food theft, but I will not tolerate spying.
07:29I want you out.
07:31You don't mean that.
07:32Oh, yes, I do.
07:33I'm leaving tomorrow to visit my sister for a few days.
07:35I want you gone by the time I get back.
07:37I'll do you one better.
07:41I will leave today.
07:54I hope this works.
07:56My sleep cycle's totally out of whack.
07:58I'm up all night and then dozing off during the day.
08:02Trust me, this will do the trick.
08:04In fact, you should be feeling more relaxed already.
08:09I know you're right.
08:12Boys, I can hear you out there now.
08:14Be quiet.
08:15Just sit there and color.
08:17Now is not a good time to be moving.
08:20Right, sorry.
08:20Just block everything out and let it go.
08:26Imagine that you're in a forest.
08:28There's a babbling brook nearby and the wind is just coming through the trees.
08:36Mommy?
08:36Parker!
08:38I don't know, ow, what you think you're doing, but put that back where it belongs.
08:45Sorry.
08:46You're saying something about wind?
08:50I was just creating a soothing image.
08:55Oh, for the love of God.
08:58Knock it off, you little monsters.
09:04Mrs. Scaval, please lie down.
09:05We need to finish this.
09:07Look, I'm on my last nerve, so I'm going to level with you here.
09:11I've screwed up my entire system by taking my kids' ADD medication.
09:16Yeah, that's right, you heard me.
09:18I plan to stop, but right now I need to sleep, and I need more than a few crappy needles,
09:23so what do you got?
09:25I'm not licensed to write prescriptions.
09:27I know you're not.
09:38This will put you right to sleep.
09:40It's a very powerful herbal remedy.
09:42Now promise me you're going to use it judiciously?
09:44Sure.
09:45Whatever.
09:49Knock, knock!
09:51Hey, come on in.
09:53You're a mess.
09:55Uh, yeah, I'm tearing out these leaky pipes in the upstairs bathroom.
09:59Wall to wall, rotten wood.
10:00Mm, sounds like a job.
10:03So, Julie said that you came by before?
10:06Um, yeah, uh, yeah, I was thinking about driving up to the Jumaane Vineyard tomorrow for this wine tasting, and,
10:13uh...
10:13What time do you want me to be ready?
10:15About six.
10:16Six is good.
10:19All right.
10:21You know, I thought maybe afterwards we could have a little dinner, maybe some dancing.
10:25Sounds great.
10:27Um, you do know that it's, like, a two-hour drive up there.
10:31And isn't that kind of late to be coming back?
10:35Well, I thought if, you know, worse came to worse, we could grab a room.
10:39Oh?
10:40Like a hotel room?
10:41Yeah.
10:42As a last resort.
10:43Of course.
10:44Of course, yes.
10:45So, maybe we should make a reservation, you know, just in case.
10:49Yeah, I found some hotels online.
10:50Let me get the print out.
10:54Hey, Bongo, come here.
10:57You want a treat?
10:58Hey, Mike, where do you keep the dog biscuits?
11:00I'm sorry, what?
11:01Oh, never mind.
11:03We just find them ourselves, huh?
11:04We go find them ourselves.
11:15Uh, I'm sorry, Susan.
11:16I couldn't hear you.
11:17What'd you say?
11:19Uh, nothing.
11:21It's not important.
11:25It's, uh, my Tyler guy.
11:26Here, see what looks good.
11:28Hey, Phil.
11:30Um, no, no.
11:32Tomorrow morning, I'm making a lumber run.
11:33It's no good.
11:35Uh, no.
11:35I'm gone tomorrow night, too.
11:37I could let him in.
11:39Uh, no.
11:40That's okay.
11:41Thanks.
11:41No, it's fine.
11:43Just give me the key.
11:44I'll be around all day.
11:46All right.
11:46Um, thanks.
11:48Phil, I'll give a key to my, uh, neighbor.
11:51She'll be here to let you in.
12:00Like every city, Fairview had a neighborhood that was less than desirable.
12:05It was an accepted fact.
12:07Anyone who lingered there after midnight was usually up to no good.
12:15Rex and Brie Vandekamp were no exception.
12:30I don't really think this is going to work.
12:32This is the most impoverished neighborhood in the city.
12:35Trust me, somebody will steal the car.
12:37How can you be so sure?
12:39Because I have faith in the poor.
12:44She's so beautiful.
12:46I shot this last year on her birthday.
12:52How are you going to do it?
12:54I made contact with her at a bar.
12:56She thinks I'm a real estate developer.
12:59Is she going to suffer?
13:01No.
13:02Your Brit will disappear and you'll go back to your life.
13:06Before you do it, do you think you should ask her why she sent this note to my wife?
13:11You can't think like that, Mr. Young.
13:13You can't give in to your curiosity.
13:15Curiosity leads to guilt.
13:17Guilt leads to talking.
13:20You still have questions?
13:23I want to be clear about something.
13:25I'll walk away with this cash.
13:26It's done.
13:27No refunds, no buyer's remorse.
13:30I get it.
13:32We won't talk again, so I'll ask one more time.
13:35Are you sure you want this?
13:38My wife is dead because I'm eating Brit.
13:40I absolutely want this.
13:44I want this.
13:50You've been awfully quiet.
13:55I've just been thinking about the kids.
14:03They sure grew up quickly, didn't they?
14:06They sure did.
14:10I remember telling them when they were babies that they weren't allowed to get any bigger because they were so
14:14adorable.
14:16And we were so happy.
14:20Yeah, well...
14:21They sure didn't turn out like we expected them to.
14:25No.
14:26They didn't.
14:28We could have been better parents.
14:31We weren't that bad.
14:32We still have so much to teach them.
14:35For starters, we need to get across to Andrew the enormity of what he's done.
14:38I suppose we could punish him.
14:41All right, well, what's the appropriate punishment for a child who drives over a woman?
14:45I don't know.
14:49You know, no matter how the kids turn out, I still love them.
14:52Of course you do.
14:54But I'll never forgive them for growing up so quickly.
15:02Hey, look.
15:18And then I opened the cabinet, and there was all this money in it.
15:22I mean, there was wads of it.
15:23That's why you're freaking out?
15:24A few stacks of cash?
15:25Come on.
15:26Well, what?
15:27Realistically, I've known this guy a few weeks.
15:29I mean, he could be a hitman for the mob.
15:31If you really think that, why are you going on a trip with him?
15:34I never get out of the house.
15:35Mom, if you really need something to freak out about,
15:37just remember that you're going to spend the night with Mike in a hotel.
15:40No man has seen you naked in years.
15:42Except your doctor.
15:43Yeah, and he retired.
15:44I try not to take that personally.
15:46You look old in that.
15:47Oh, maybe I am being silly.
15:50But going to a hotel with a man is a big deal to me.
15:54What if Mike is hiding something?
15:57Like what?
15:59I don't know.
16:01That's Dad.
16:02I gotta go.
16:03Now, listen to me.
16:05No more freaking out.
16:06I need this weekend to go well.
16:07Why do you care so much?
16:09Because I'm going to have a husband of my own someday,
16:11and I really don't want you living with us.
16:19Are the ladyfingers okay?
16:21Oh, they're terrific.
16:22We just appreciate you all stopping by.
16:24Oh, we just wanted you to know how much we care.
16:27So have the police come up with any leads?
16:31Not really.
16:32They'll be able to determine the make and model of the car,
16:35but without any eyewitnesses, no one seems very optimistic.
16:38Well, more importantly, is there any good news about Juanita?
16:41No change.
16:42All we can do is wait and hope for the best.
16:45We put her on our prayer list at church.
16:47Oh, that's very sweet, Danielle.
16:50Must really help during times like these.
16:53Having kids.
16:55Yeah.
16:55They're a blessing.
16:58Children make everything worthwhile.
17:02You guys are the future.
17:04Legacy.
17:06Thanks.
17:07After we're all dead, you'll be the only ones left to carry on.
17:12Gabrielle and I are about to start a family.
17:15Oh, hey.
17:17That's great.
17:17When did you decide this?
17:19It's a fairly recent development.
17:24I see.
17:26We'll talk about this later.
17:27Face it.
17:28We're shallow people.
17:30I mean, can our lives have any meaning if all we ever do is buy stuff?
17:33That depends on what we buy.
17:35I want a child.
17:36In case you'd forgotten, before we got married, we made a deal.
17:39No kids.
17:40Yeah, well, deals were meant to be renegotiated.
17:41Well, we're not negotiating my uterus.
17:43We should probably be going.
17:46Yeah.
17:47Thank you so much.
17:50That was weird.
17:52I feel awful for Carlos.
17:54That talk about children is obviously coming from his grief.
17:57Whatever.
17:58I'm off the hook.
18:07A weary Lynette drank her potent tea in hopes of finally finding the sleep that had eluded her.
18:15Unfortunately for Lynette, there would be no rest for the weary.
18:21Go to hell.
18:24Go to hell.
18:25Go to hell.
18:25Go to hell.
18:25Go to hell.
18:26Go to hell.
18:26Go to hell.
18:42Go to hell.
18:43Mommy.
18:43Go to hell.
18:45Go to hell.
18:48Mommy.
18:49What?
18:49Oh, right.
18:50Okay, boys.
18:52This knot is called the bowline.
18:54It is a remarkably useful knot.
18:56Now, pick up your ropes.
18:58Okay. First, we cross this end over here, and then we make a loop, and then another loop,
19:05and then you sort of pull it through, I'm guessing, and then you just ready, yank it top.
19:14Mommy, that doesn't look like the picture.
19:17You're never going to be a sailor. What do you care?
19:21Okay, everybody, let's just take a break.
19:25Thanks.
19:41Okay, it's all up there. Can I get a signature?
19:44Oh, of course.
19:45Thank you very much.
19:49Here you go. Have a nice weekend.
19:51You too, lady.
19:55Here you go.
20:38Hey, ma'am, are you still here?
20:41I've got to give you a receipt.
20:44Ma'am?
20:57Ma'am, are you still here?
21:21I'm trapped in the floor.
21:23Hello?
21:25If you came in here to judge me, you can just leave.
21:30Wait.
21:31Wait.
21:31No.
21:31Wait.
21:32Don't go.
21:33Wait.
21:33I have an idea.
21:34Here.
21:34Here.
21:35Here.
21:36Here.
21:37Grab the towel, Bongo.
21:39Come on, grab the other end.
21:40Good boy.
21:41That's it.
21:41Get the other end.
21:43Come on, Bongo.
21:44Pull the other end.
21:45Come on, Bongo.
21:46What are you doing?
21:47Bongo, over here.
21:49Bongo.
21:50Oh, oh, don't do that, oh, Bongo.
21:55While Susan remained hopelessly stuck, Gabrielle was moving to confront the issue of her young
22:01lover's restless conscience.
22:02Nobody's home.
22:04I know.
22:04I've been watching.
22:05Came to talk to you.
22:06Although she would need to be discreet.
22:08Keep working.
22:11What were you thinking, showing up at the hospital?
22:14I had to see if she was okay.
22:16Need to keep a low profile right now.
22:19Look.
22:20You and I are finished.
22:23From now on, I'm sticking with Danielle.
22:25Why would you say that?
22:26I hate myself for what we did.
22:28Okay?
22:29I can't sleep at night.
22:31We've got to make a clean break.
22:32We weren't driving the car.
22:33We didn't chase Juanita into the street.
22:35Well, she wouldn't have been there if we weren't having an affair.
22:37Oh, for God's sakes.
22:38Between you and Carlos.
22:40Listen to me carefully.
22:41You didn't do anything wrong.
22:44So what Father Crowley thinks.
22:46What?
22:48I want a confession.
22:52Have you lost your mind?
22:54What did you tell him?
22:56Everything.
22:59Including in the alley, behind the truck stop?
23:02Everything.
23:04Oh, dearie.
23:14What is wrong with you?
23:16Last you would have had a fire truck here by now.
23:19You stupid dog.
23:22Good boy, Bongo.
23:24Run, Bongo.
23:25Run.
23:25Go get help.
23:39Andrew, um.
23:42I know the last few days have been stressful and, uh.
23:46You know, if you ever need to talk to anybody.
23:49I know.
23:49I know.
23:50You and Dad are here for me.
23:52Actually, I was thinking we could arrange for you to talk to a professional.
23:56A shrink?
23:59You think I'm crazy?
24:01Of course not.
24:02It's just that the accident probably stirred up a lot of emotions.
24:05And it would be normal for you to be feeling confused or depressed or shamed.
24:12I'm cool.
24:13I'm really.
24:14Honey, you put a woman into a coma.
24:17Surely that arouses some kind of emotion.
24:19Yeah, well, it doesn't.
24:25Now, if you'll excuse me.
24:26No, I won't.
24:27Not until you tell me.
24:28Why do you care?
24:29Because I need to know that you're not a monster.
24:33You want to know how I feel?
24:35Yeah.
24:35Okay, here it goes.
24:37I feel bad that she got hurt.
24:39But I also feel bad that my car got dinged because somebody didn't have enough sense to look both ways
24:43before she crossed the street.
24:45And I also feel bad that now I'm going to have to ride my bike to school.
24:52Andrew, you almost killed another human being.
24:55She's an old lady, okay?
24:57She's lived her life.
24:59I have my whole life ahead of me, and now it might be screwed up.
25:02That's what you should be worried about.
25:04What I'm worried about, Andrew, is that you don't seem to have a soul.
25:09Give me one good reason why I shouldn't call the police.
25:12Because I'm your son.
25:15That would make you the monster.
25:40Susan, is that you?
25:42Mike?
25:42Come upstairs.
25:44Sort of.
25:46Hang on.
25:47I'll be right up.
25:56What happened?
25:58Well, see, this bird blew in your bathroom window, and I tried to save it, but it died.
26:08I don't think that's what happened.
26:10I don't think so, either.
26:13Come on.
26:16Oh, God.
26:24You have nothing to hear what that was like.
26:29I went through my cabinets.
26:31What?
26:34Oh, I can explain that.
26:36Get out of my house.
26:37Mike.
26:38Get out.
26:49Let's go.
27:11Hello there.
27:12Good afternoon.
27:14Oh, well, isn't this just as pretty as a picture book?
27:20Well, the plan is to put in a small condo.
27:24You want to make some money or you want to pussyfoot around?
27:27What do you suggest?
27:28I'm thinking strip mall.
27:31I've run some numbers.
27:38Nice stationery.
27:40Oh, it's stolen.
27:43What do you mean?
27:45After my house burned down, I was staying with this neighbor, Martha Huber.
27:49That is, until the old troll threw me out.
27:52Anyway, I'd steal her stuff, she'd steal mine.
27:54It's a circle of life.
27:56So this paper is hers?
27:59Oh, God, yes.
28:12No, Todd, you can't do this to me.
28:15It's because I need you home.
28:17Boys, stop it.
28:18I am on the phone.
28:20Well, yeah, I realize it's not your fault that the meeting got postponed, but you promised you'd be back tonight.
28:28I, I, I gotta go.
28:30Oh, the kids are, yeah, I know, you're sorry.
28:35Just, will you try and get back as soon as you can?
28:38Okay, bye.
28:40Boys, would you please, please stop it?
28:44Really, really, mommy's got a headache, okay?
28:48Just, uh.
28:53Turn that damn thing off!
28:56What's the matter with you?
28:57Why will you live like me?
28:58You aren't doing it.
28:59What have you doing?
29:00Screw me.
29:15You aren't doing it.
29:35Slow down, you move too fast
29:38You've got to make the morning last
29:41Just kicking down the cobblestones
29:45Look at the fun and feeling groovy
30:08What?
30:10I just came over to say I'm sorry
30:13And I'll pay for all the damage
30:15Don't worry about it
30:17Well, so, in your mind, is the date off?
30:23Well, you snooped around my house and went through my stuff
30:25Yeah, in my book, that's pretty much a deal-breaker
30:28Hold on a minute
30:29Now, I started snooping around because I found all that money by accident
30:33And then I found a gun
30:36Are you a drug dealer or something?
30:38God, is that what you think?
30:39Well, I wouldn't know because you never let me in
30:41You know, there's this whole part of your life that you keep completely walled off
30:44I have a gun for protection, I keep cash for emergencies
30:47I'm a good guy, Susan, and you should know that
30:49I'm not obligated to share every little detail of my life with you
30:52Well, every little detail is one thing
30:54You know, weird, creepy secrets, that's another
30:56You know what, I don't want to be with somebody who doesn't trust me
30:57Well, maybe we shouldn't be dating
30:59Maybe we shouldn't
31:01Do you mean that?
31:02Yeah
31:04Well, I hope that your, you know, little secret keeps you warm at night
31:08Because you're throwing something really great away to protect it
31:22Oh, Susan, you've got to take my kids for a while
31:25Lynette, this just really isn't a good time
31:27No, no, I'm sorry, but I can't do this
31:28It's just, it's too much
31:30Boys, you stay with your Aunt Susan
31:32Yay!
31:34Lynette!
31:35You know what, when are you coming back?
31:38Lynette!
31:44Lynette!
31:44Lynette!
32:00There's Lynette's car, she's got to be close
32:02I hope the kids aren't too much for Danielle to handle
32:05She'll be fine
32:06What do you think's happening with Lynette?
32:08I don't know, but I'm scared
32:10Something's very, very wrong
32:26Lynette?
32:27Honey?
32:28Are you okay?
32:36Father, I'm so glad you could come and pray for Mama
32:40Please sit, sit
32:41Thank you, Gabrielle
32:51Listen, since you're here
32:52There's something I've always wondered about
32:55That whole thing about priests not being allowed to repeat what they hear in confessions
33:01Is that a hard rule or just a general guideline?
33:05Rest assured, everyone's secrets are safe
33:08It's good to hear
33:10I'll keep yours, too, if you want to talk
33:12No, me?
33:14No, no
33:16Confession's not really my thing
33:17It's a shame
33:21Okay, you can stop condemning me with your eyes
33:28Right now
33:29I know you know about the affair
33:35But you know nothing about my life
33:39Look, it's not even an issue anymore
33:41John and I are finished
33:43Gabrielle, the church is pretty clear on this
33:45If you commit a mortal sin and you die without repenting
33:49You go to hell
33:51Aren't you just a ball of fun?
33:57So, if I confess, it'll clean the slate, right?
34:01Well, not only that
34:02If you want God's forgiveness, you have to be truly sorry
34:05And you have to promise not to commit the sin again
34:08So what happens if I repent later?
34:11Like, say, when I'm 75?
34:14I wouldn't recommend waiting
34:15What if you die before then?
34:17Well, let's say I don't die
34:18I do yoga, I eat well
34:21If I wait, does my repenting still count?
34:23If you mean it, yes
34:26Thank you, Father Crowley
34:28You have been a tremendous comfort
34:32Um, I will let you do your thing
34:36Gabrielle
34:37You know, we're all responsible for the choices we make
34:42Don't you want to be a good person?
34:45What I want is to be happy
34:47That's the answer of a selfish child
34:51I know
34:58And I started taking the pills because they gave me energy
35:02But then I couldn't sleep at night
35:04And I was getting so tired in the daytime
35:06And it totally messed me up
35:14I love my kids so much
35:16I'm so sorry they have me as a mother
35:19Lynette, you're a great mother
35:21No, I'm not
35:24I can't do it
35:26I'm so tired of feeling like a failure
35:29It's so humiliating
35:30No, it's not
35:31You know, so you got addicted to your kid's ADD medication
35:36You know, that happens
35:37You got four kids
35:39That's a lot of stress
35:40Honey, you just need some help
35:41That's what's so humiliating
35:43Other moms don't need help
35:46Other moms make it look so easy
35:49All I do is complain
35:51That's just not true
35:52When Julie was a baby
35:53I was out of my mind almost every day
35:56I used to get so upset when Andrew and Danielle were little
35:59I used their nap times to cry
36:05Why didn't you ever tell me this?
36:08Oh, baby
36:10Nobody likes to admit that they can't handle the pressure
36:13I think it's just like we think, you know
36:17It's easier to keep it all in
36:19Oh, we shouldn't
36:21We should tell each other this stuff
36:27It helps us
36:28Yeah
36:29It really does
36:45So it was Martha Hoover all along
36:47Seems so
36:48Edie didn't move in with Hoover until after your wife received the blackmail note
36:52My God, we almost killed an innocent woman
36:55Like I said, I don't do refunds
36:57But if you like, I'm willing to pay Mrs. Hoover a visit
37:00No
37:02Just keep the money
37:04This whole thing's been tearing me up
37:06The nightmares, the guilt
37:09This isn't what Mary Alice would have wanted
37:12What would she have wanted?
37:17Answers
37:23Hello, Mrs. Hoover
37:25Paul
37:26Let me give you a hand
37:27That's really not necessary
37:28I insist
37:29Thank you
37:29Thank you
37:31Thank you
37:42Thank you
37:43Thank you
37:48Thank you
37:49Thank you
37:49Thank you
37:50Thank you
37:51Thank you
37:51Thank you
37:52Thank you
37:52Thank you
37:53Thank you
37:53Thank you
37:56Thank you
37:57Thank you
37:58Thank you
37:58Thank you
37:58Thank you
37:59Thank you
38:34Anse, huh?
38:35Yes. I've had a little infestation problem.
38:38I wanted to take care of it before I left on my trip.
38:41Never had a problem with Anse.
38:44Mary Alice and I had these little black flies once.
38:47Oh?
38:48She was so funny about it.
38:49She ran out and bought herself a can of poison, something to spray them down.
38:54So she's taking aim at one of the counter, and she just stops,
38:58puts the can down, couldn't do it.
39:01She told me later it felt too personal.
39:05Literally couldn't kill a fly.
39:07That's how gentle she was.
39:09Then you must have lived with quite a few flies.
39:12I'm going to have to say goodnight to you now, Paul.
39:23What are you doing here?
39:25I want to know why.
39:40I know you've got a lot of questions,
39:42and I also know I don't want to lose you.
39:44So ask me anything you want.
39:47You just told me everything I need to know.
39:57All right.
39:59My idiot husband died and left me with a worthless pension.
40:03I was desperate for money,
40:05and it's better to take it from a bad person than a good one.
40:08How was I supposed to know she'd shoot herself?
40:10She was a good person.
40:12A good person who leaves her child motherless?
40:15Read the Bible, Paul.
40:16Suicide's a big no-no.
40:17Don't you feel any remorse whatsoever?
40:20Why should I?
40:21Your wife didn't kill herself because I wrote a note.
40:23She killed herself because of what she did to that poor baby.
40:28But rest assured, I'm praying for Mary Alice.
40:32After what she did, she'll need all of our prayers.
40:55She's a big no-no-no.
41:24There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner.
41:32Of course, not everyone feels guilt over the bad things they do.
41:40In contrast, there are those who assume more than their share of the blame.
41:49There are others who soothe their consciences with small acts of kindness.
42:02Or by telling themselves their sins were justified.
42:10Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do better next time and pray for forgiveness.
42:30Sometimes their prayers are answered.
