00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives
00:03The police showed me your rap sheet. You killed a man.
00:06Do you want to hear what happened or not?
00:07It doesn't matter because I will never believe anything you say ever again.
00:12Sometimes unexpected visitors
00:14Do you think she's cheating on you?
00:15I think so.
00:16I'll take care of it.
00:17Thank you, Mama.
00:18Lead to unexpected consequences.
00:21Andrew, you almost killed another human being.
00:24She's lived her life. I have my whole life ahead of me and now it might be screwed up.
00:35In the coma ward at Sacred Heart Hospital, the dreams begin just after midnight.
00:43The pitch black of night gives way to vivid images that comfort the dreamer until the morning.
00:51Gus, the custodian, dreams of someday winning the lottery and quitting his thankless job.
01:02Howard, the security guard, envisions a luxurious retirement in the tropics.
01:10Ruth Ann, the night nurse, fantasizes about leaving her husband.
01:19But the most vivid dreams of all belonged to the patient in room 312.
01:26Yes, Juanita Solis had been dreaming steadily for five months.
01:33Sometimes, sometimes, of the shocking secret she had uncovered.
01:40Other times, she dreamt of the accident that had put her in the hospital.
01:47But her most common dream was the one in which she finally told her son the truth.
01:58And then one night, Juanita Solis decided it was time to wake up.
02:12Hello?
02:15Hello?
02:16Is anybody here?
02:20Hello?
02:25I have to call my son.
02:27asshole is former uncle.
02:29Hello?
02:38Hello?
02:44Hello?
02:47Hello?
02:48Oh for this world life life life life here?
02:51Oh work.
02:52Oh!
02:53Oh my God!
02:57No!
03:04Even though she knew she was about to die, Juanita didn't care.
03:09The truth was finally going to come out.
03:17Sadly for Juanita, this was one dream that would never come true.
04:09We all honor heroes for different reasons.
04:14Sometimes for their bravery.
04:16Sometimes for their daring.
04:19Sometimes for their goodness.
04:23But mostly we honor heroes.
04:26Because at one point or another, we all dream of being rescued.
04:37Susan, I know you're in there. We have to talk.
04:41This is crazy.
04:44I know.
04:52Everything the cops said to you is true. I did kill somebody.
04:54But there's one thing they didn't tell you.
04:56I killed for you, Susan.
05:06Susan, if I can't have you, no one else can.
05:10Shut up.
05:23Susan, you all?
05:26Susan, the car's here. I know you're in there.
05:30I was hoping we could talk for a minute.
05:43Susan, maybe you should have waited until I left to do that.
05:47All right, look, I know you don't want to see me right now,
05:50but I owe you an explanation.
05:51And it's all in there. All of it.
05:53Everything you ever wanted to know about my past,
05:55about my reasons for doing what I did,
05:57it's all there.
06:19Hey!
06:21Guys, come on, what do you think?
06:24Um, you know, just bonding, discussing current events.
06:29Hey, seriously.
06:30Listen, if you guys would have just parked across the street,
06:32I could have let you go.
06:34So why don't you just pretend like we did?
06:37Get out of the car.
06:40Get this.
06:41Hey, hey, hey, stop the car!
06:43Hey, hey, hey, wait!
06:48I can't believe it.
06:49Wait, two months from graduation, he gets expelled.
06:52You know, we are just lucky that that security guard
06:55did not press charges.
06:57So what are we going to do?
06:58Well, I'm glad that you asked.
07:06What are these?
07:07They're brochures for youth detention centers.
07:12How long have you had these?
07:14They've been in the drawer for a few months.
07:15I had a feeling we might be needing them.
07:18Brie, I don't know.
07:20We have to admit that we need help.
07:22If we can't get through to Andrew,
07:24then we have to find someone who can.
07:26You really want to send our son away to some prison camp?
07:28Oh, come on, don't be so dramatic.
07:30I mean, some of these places actually look fun.
07:32Look, Camp Hennessy.
07:34Camp Hennessy teaches kids respect for authority and boundaries
07:37in a summer camp-like atmosphere.
07:40The perimeter is surrounded by an electrified fence.
07:43Well, you have to admit that's an efficient way
07:45to teach respect for boundaries.
07:48Okay, how about this one?
07:49It's perfect for Andrew.
07:51It's a ranch in Montana.
07:52It has lots of fresh air and plenty of open spaces
07:55and daily classes on anger management.
07:57I'm not comfortable with this.
07:59All right.
08:00How about this one?
08:01It's in the desert, and it's very reasonable.
08:03Barracks are a little bit bleak,
08:05but that recidivism rate is to die for.
08:08Brie, I'm not doing it.
08:10I'm not sending my son away.
08:12It's easy for you, isn't it?
08:14You're not the one he's openly rude to.
08:16You're not the one he challenges every day.
08:19You're not the one he hates.
08:20I'll talk to him, all right?
08:23I'll sit him down for a little old-fashioned heart-to-heart.
08:28You talk to him all you want.
08:30I'm going to check out the place with the electrified fence.
08:36Listen, my children, and you shall hear
08:39of the Midnight Bride of Paul Revere.
08:42King of lantern aloft
08:43in the belfry arch
08:45of the North Church Tower.
08:48One if by land,
08:49two if by sea,
08:50and I on the opposite shore will be.
08:58Um, hi.
08:59I wanted to introduce myself to your mom.
09:01I'm Lynette Scavo.
09:03Hi, Lynette.
09:04I'm Alyssa Stevens.
09:05Oh, I'm sorry.
09:06I thought about...
09:07No, no, no. I've heard of it.
09:08Oh.
09:10But a lot of the time,
09:12signing is just easier.
09:13I don't like to misunderstand
09:15or to be misunderstood.
09:17And I'm Lily.
09:18Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.
09:20Hi, Mom.
09:21That's what my son, Matt.
09:22My twins talk about Matt all the time.
09:24We should set up a play date.
09:26Without Squire.
09:27Without dinner, too.
09:29I'd love to.
09:29The British shark on me.
09:30Get him! Get him!
09:31Get him!
09:34Even better, let's just keep it adults.
09:37Babe, they blinked.
09:40We got them by the short hairs.
09:41Who? Who blinked?
09:42The DA.
09:44I just spoke with the lawyers.
09:45They offered a plea bargain.
09:47And that's good?
09:48It means they know they got a weak case.
09:50They don't think they can win.
09:52It's over.
09:53Oh, my God!
09:55Honey, that means we can keep the house!
09:57No, we still have to sell the house.
09:59I gotta pay the lawyers.
10:01But I thought you said they offered a plea bargain.
10:03Yeah, but we're not gonna take that.
10:06Put me down.
10:08Honey,
10:09it would mean me going to jail for eight months.
10:11I think that's pretty reasonable,
10:13considering you're guilty as sin.
10:14You said that you were fine with selling the house.
10:16That was before I knew we could trade a couple of months in prison to keep it!
10:21What?
10:23No, this is her daughter-in-law.
10:25Is it the hospital?
10:27Is it my mom?
10:27Oh, my mom!
10:33Uh, thank you.
10:36Yes.
10:39Gabby?
10:40I'm sorry, Carlos.
10:57Some believe people are judged by the way they live life,
11:01and others by the way they leave it.
11:04I like the Lexington mahogany with gold leaf.
11:08It comes with a pink velvet interior and drapes.
11:11Plus, it's hand engraved,
11:12so in case of a flood or earthquake,
11:15I'll at least be able to know which one is hers.
11:17Don't you think that's a little over the top?
11:19Only the best for my mom.
11:21No, honey, these funeral homes make a fortune
11:23trying to convince people to overspend.
11:25What are you saying?
11:26Well, I'm saying your mother was a sensible woman.
11:28She wouldn't be comfortable with all these bells and whistles.
11:32Maybe this one.
11:33Wood veneer.
11:37What?
11:37You never liked my mom.
11:39Well, it's awfully hard to like someone
11:41who actively hates your guts.
11:43She always thought you married beneath you,
11:45and she let me know it.
11:46She loved you.
11:47She treated me like trash.
11:48God rest her soul.
11:50I'm putting my mother in the grave.
11:52Now is not the time to pinch pennies.
11:54Carlos, we're not exactly flush with cash right now.
11:57Let her be true to her roots.
11:59She was born humble and barefoot.
12:02She was a queen.
12:27She was a queen.
12:31I mean, God forbid you should give them time and a pen.
12:37Hey, Edie, you mind stopping by the site later?
12:39I have blueprints of the master bath.
12:41Oh, I'll see you in a few, Bill.
12:49It's my new contractor.
12:51We're sort of dating.
12:52Didn't you once say you never mix business with pleasure?
12:56No.
12:56I said never mix pleasure with commitment.
12:59Right.
13:00So, Susan, what are you going to do with the letter?
13:02And for Pete's sake, would you open it up already?
13:07No.
13:08No, I won't.
13:10I don't trust Mike anymore, and without trust...
13:13No.
13:14No.
13:14I'm just going to go in and rip it up and throw it in the trash.
13:17Why, wait.
13:17Why don't we just rip it up now?
13:18No, no, no, no.
13:19That's okay.
13:20I don't want to, you know, litter.
13:27She is so opening, that letter.
13:32While Carlos was making arrangements to bury his mother,
13:36Gabrielle was making sure she'd be taking her secret to the grave.
13:40Hi, I'm Gabrielle Solis, your nurse.
13:43Heisel?
13:44Yes.
13:45Hi.
13:46Um, yes, when you called and said you were coming down,
13:49I, uh, collected all the personal things that your husband brought in
13:52during Juanita's, uh, stay with us.
13:55Well, I assume that that's why you're stopping by.
13:58Oh, that's so thoughtful of you, but actually, no.
14:02No?
14:04No, you see, my husband and I still don't have a clear account
14:07as to how Juanita passed.
14:11How?
14:12Yes, did she die quietly, in her sleep?
14:16Um, yeah, that's usually how it happens.
14:20I mean, I'm pretty sure that that's how it happened.
14:23Pretty sure?
14:24I mean, I don't know exactly, because I wasn't with her at that time.
14:29Uh-huh.
14:31Was anyone with her?
14:34An orderly, candy striper, anyone?
14:41No.
14:42She was alone.
14:47Thank you so much.
14:49That's all I needed to hear.
14:53Oh, Mrs. Solis!
14:56Oh, you can just toss that.
15:10Great.
15:11Just great.
15:19I think this is yours.
15:23Yeah.
15:25Yeah, I've been looking for this one.
15:27Thanks.
15:28I don't suppose you have any idea where I found it.
15:31Well, those little suckers are drawn to bear-feeding car tires,
15:35and since they're not limping or bleeding,
15:40this is only temporary.
15:41You're going to need to take this tire in to get it fixed.
15:43Thanks, I will.
15:44Seriously, it's not safe.
15:45You're probably only going to get 20, 30 miles out of it.
15:48All right, I promise.
15:49Hey, listen.
15:51I'm about to break for lunch.
15:52How would you like to join me?
15:54Lunch?
15:54Yeah, lunch.
15:58Are you asking me out on a date?
16:00That sounds kind of formal for a burrito and a can of soda,
16:03but, yeah, I guess I am.
16:06Aren't you dating Edie?
16:08We went out on a date.
16:09We're not dating.
16:11Oh.
16:11So how about it?
16:12I'm buying.
16:14Yeah, I just got out of this relationship with this guy, Mike,
16:16and it was kind of complicated.
16:19Anyway, I'm just not even sure where I am right now.
16:22Emotionally, I'm just all jumbled up,
16:23and I don't think I can leap right into something new,
16:26relationship-wise, you know, at the moment.
16:28Again, just a burrito.
16:31I'm sorry.
16:33Okay, I understand.
16:34It sounds like you need a little time to reflect and heal.
16:36I do. I really do.
16:38Okay.
16:39I'll check back with you again tomorrow.
16:44This is so delicious.
16:46I don't know how you find the time with four kids.
16:50Only for first-time guests.
16:51Normally, you'd be having chicken fingers
16:54and cartoon-shaped macaroni.
16:56If that.
16:58Tom, you're an advertising, right?
17:02Mm-hmm.
17:02I worked five years at Simon & Scott.
17:06Well, I started at Simon & Scott.
17:10I hated those guys.
17:14But we have to talk.
17:15Yes.
17:16Who do you know that...
17:18Do you know who you're right there now?
17:19It's all over now.
17:20They'll be talking shop for the rest of the night.
17:23Alyssa loves talking about Alyssa.
17:25Well, Lynette loves talking about Lynette, too.
17:28Oh, I don't believe that for a second.
17:30You and your husband seem pretty solid.
17:34We're going through some tough stuff.
17:36We're in counseling.
17:37Yeah, they're nice people.
17:39Oh, really?
17:40More steak?
17:41It's her idea.
17:43It's not the most pleasant way to spend an hour.
17:45Basically, I look at the clock,
17:47and she blames me for everything.
17:49I don't think she'd be talking about Alyssa with her.
17:53So?
17:55It's okay.
17:55It's not like she can hear.
18:00Maybe we'll have some on that potato stuff.
18:04He actually said those things
18:06with her just sitting right there.
18:07It was really nasty,
18:09and he wouldn't shut up either.
18:11I can't believe you said
18:12we'd play tennis with them.
18:13Honey, that was before I knew that he was a jerk.
18:16She was great.
18:17Look what she taught me.
18:20It means I love you.
18:22Yeah, that's great.
18:23What am I going to do?
18:27What do you mean?
18:28Well, obviously, she needs to be told.
18:30No, no, no, no, she doesn't.
18:31This is between Dennis and Alyssa.
18:33How can I ignore this?
18:34And I quote,
18:35it's not like she can hear.
18:38Lynette, you're starting to ramp up
18:39into that whole meddling thing that you do.
18:42Excuse me?
18:42Let me just handle it.
18:43Let's avoid a big thing.
18:46Are you saying I can't be tactful?
18:47No, if he says something when we play tennis,
18:49I will take him aside,
18:50man to man,
18:51and say that's not cool.
18:52Are you saying I'm not tactful?
19:03Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
19:15Andrew, I need you to take out the trash.
19:18Sure.
19:19Now, not five hours from now.
19:23Going, going, god.
19:27I'm meeting Justin at the mall tonight,
19:30so I'm going to need 40 bucks.
19:32No.
19:34What?
19:35You no longer get an allowance.
19:38Fine.
19:39I'm not taking out the trash.
19:42Andrew?
19:42What are you going to do?
19:44Torture me?
19:45Go ahead.
19:45I can take it.
19:47What I want,
19:48what I have always wanted,
19:50is for you to be happy.
19:51And you're not.
19:52And I have no idea how to help you.
19:55Well, you can start by getting out of the way.
19:58I will not.
19:59We're going to talk about this now.
20:01I said get out of the way.
20:07The next time you touch your mother like that,
20:09I'm going to throw you through this wall.
20:11You understand me?
20:36Oh, Edie, wait up.
20:38I want to ask you something.
20:39I can't stop.
20:40I've got to keep my heart rate up.
20:42I was just wondering how you'd feel
20:43if I went out with Bill.
20:46What?
20:47Bill asked me out.
20:50Bill?
20:50My Bill?
20:51Well, see, that's the thing.
20:52He doesn't think of himself as your Bill
20:54because he said that date was just a one-time thing.
20:57Which I know because when he asked me out,
21:00I told him I thought you guys were involved.
21:02So you haven't agreed to go out with him?
21:05No.
21:05No, I wanted to check with you first.
21:07Wow.
21:08That's nice of you.
21:10So can I?
21:11No.
21:13Edie?
21:14Edie, why can't I go out with him?
21:16Because I saw him first.
21:20Come on.
21:20That's a really third grade thing to say.
21:22Look, you asked my permission.
21:23I said no.
21:24That should be the end of it.
21:25Well, you know, technically, I don't need your permission.
21:31You know, I so much want to like you,
21:34but you just won't let me.
21:36Edie.
21:37Susan, you know, I try.
21:38I try to look past your flaws,
21:41your klutziness,
21:42that, that faux vulnerability,
21:45your hair.
21:46But you look for ways to push my buttons.
21:50He just wants to buy me a burrito.
21:53Susan, please, let me like you.
21:58Okay, I won't go out with him.
22:00I mean, obviously, you have feelings for him.
22:04No, I don't.
22:05I really don't.
22:07So what then?
22:08If you can't have him, nobody can?
22:11See?
22:13Now you're thinking like a friend.
22:28What a voice.
22:29You have to hand it to the Catholics.
22:31They do grief better than anyone.
22:38So how much did that horse and buggy set us back?
22:40Do you mind?
22:41Being poor?
22:42A little.
22:45Eyes front, Padre.
22:54I can't believe Edie.
22:56She doesn't have dibs on every man on the planet.
22:59If I want to go out with Bill,
23:00I should be able to.
23:02I thought you weren't even into him.
23:03Well, neither is she.
23:05And if she's not into him,
23:06why can't I not be into him?
23:10I'm going to mourn now.
23:16What's going on?
23:17Why are we slowing down?
23:18Because we're almost there.
23:24What is that?
23:26The family who owned it couldn't afford the maintenance payment.
23:28I got an amazing deal.
23:30A crypt?
23:31You bought your mother a crypt?
23:32Keep quiet.
23:33You're making a scene.
23:34Oh, that's it.
23:35I cannot be a part of this.
23:37I can't do it.
23:39Gabrielle!
23:41Stop acting like a titan.
23:48Are we supposed to be following them?
23:51I don't know.
23:52I mean, maybe it's part of the ritual.
23:53Go to hell, Carlos.
23:58All right, people.
23:59We're going to follow the body.
24:01This way, please.
24:01Come along.
24:04This is too much.
24:05The only reason I agreed to give up the house
24:07was because I thought I was going to get a gorgeous little apartment.
24:10Now I'm not even going to get that.
24:12What do you want me to do?
24:13Take the plea.
24:15What?
24:15Yeah.
24:16You did the crime.
24:17Why should I have to pay the price?
24:18Just suck it up, be a man, and do the time.
24:21Gabby, you're being ridiculous.
24:22Am I?
24:23All I want is the same respect that you gave your dead mother.
24:26Gabby, please.
24:27At least she's going to have a roof over her head.
24:3915 o'clock.
24:45Oh, was that in?
24:49Nice try.
24:50God, Alyssa, you're deaf, not blind.
24:54It was a close call.
24:57That's telling.
24:59I'm waiting for my moment.
25:01You think her tennis stinks?
25:02You should try her cooking.
25:07Repeat 30.
25:15Sorry.
25:17I should have mentioned that my tennis is much better than my cooking.
25:26Hey.
25:27Hey.
25:27That was fun.
25:28You played really well.
25:31Give me a break.
25:31She serves underhand, for God's sake.
25:40What's your problem?
25:41Excuse me?
25:42Hey, do you have any bottled water over there?
25:44Because my electrolytes get all wacky when I sweat.
25:49She's your wife.
25:50How can you talk about her like that?
25:52Let me tell you what St. Alyssa is saying with that phony smile plastered on her face.
25:57Move your ass, Dennis.
25:59Nice love handles, Dennis.
26:01Try switching your deodorant, Dennis.
26:03All right, enough.
26:03If you've got issues with your wife, tell her.
26:06We're in counseling.
26:07Yeah, well, it's not working too well if you have to unload on a perfect stranger, is it?
26:10If you're unhappy in your marriage, do something instead of just complaining, because frankly,
26:13I don't want to hear it.
26:16Hey.
26:17Let's play at Peltanon.
26:19Sure.
26:20Great.
26:22Thanks.
26:22Okay, Dennis.
26:24I'll play with you.
26:28Hey.
26:30Hey.
26:30You did not take this in.
26:33This should hold, but you've got to take it in.
26:36I know.
26:37I'm going to.
26:38It's on the top of my list.
26:40Whew.
26:42That was hard work.
26:44Would you like a glass of water and maybe an excuse to come in and talk to me?
26:49Sounds great.
26:53So, it's tomorrow.
26:55I told you I'd check back in on that date.
26:58Bill, um, I have my reasons.
27:04Am I hideous?
27:06Oh, God, no.
27:08No, you are just so incredibly not hideous.
27:14I think.
27:15See, now, maybe it's the word date that's throwing me off.
27:18Look, I just want to have some fun.
27:20You know, dinner, drinks.
27:24No strings attached.
27:32Okay, I'll go out with you.
27:34Great.
27:35I know this little place out of the way.
27:36You're going to love it.
27:43What are you doing?
27:45I'm making an emergency list for you, so you'll know who to call in case the roof leaks or power
27:51goes out.
27:52Why?
27:55I'm taking the plea bargain so you can keep the house.
28:04When I buried my mother, I did it with respect.
28:08And I don't regret a single penny.
28:10But I'm the one that got us into the position that we're in.
28:12And the moment I did, I stopped respecting you.
28:20And that's not right.
28:22You're so brave.
28:27It's not without strings.
28:33I need you to promise me that you're going to be here when I get out.
28:36Well, that's a ridiculous thing to say.
28:38I'm not going anywhere.
28:39And I need you to promise me that you'll be faithful while I'm gone.
28:44Yeah, of course.
28:46Gabrielle, I'm no fool.
28:50You're a beautiful woman, and I understand that you have needs.
28:53But I'm a very jealous and possessive man.
28:57And I need to hear you say it.
29:01I promise.
29:04Okay, then.
29:07Tomorrow morning, we'll go and see the lawyers.
29:10I love you.
29:18I love you, too.
29:25And just so you know,
29:28I'm going to hold you to that promise.
29:37What's going on?
29:40Did Grandma die?
29:41Uh, no.
29:42She's fine.
29:43Listen, Andrew...
29:45Sweetheart, it's been clear to us for some time now that you've been unhappy.
29:49All this acting out...
29:51The pot smoking, the violence...
29:53It just isn't you.
29:54And we feel that you need to spend some quality time thinking about the goals in your life and what
30:00kind of person you want to be.
30:03What the hell are you talking about?
30:07There's this place called Camp Hennessy.
30:10It's designed for teenagers like yourself who have lost their way.
30:14You've got to be kidding me.
30:15They emphasize discipline and responsibility.
30:18Two things you're sorely in need of.
30:21Hopefully you won't have to be there for more than a few weeks.
30:23You can stop this now.
30:24I'm not going to any stupid camp for juvenile delinquents.
30:31We're ready.
30:32I'm sorry, honey, but you don't have a choice.
30:44Son!
30:45Get your hands off of me!
30:47Andrew, Andrew, it's no use fighting.
30:49Now, these gentlemen are going to help you get dressed, and then they're going to drive you to the camp.
30:52We can take it from here.
30:54Wait, wait!
30:55Mom, Mom, wait!
30:56Please, I'm sorry, Mom, please!
30:58Honey, it's going to be okay, I promise.
31:01I know this was your idea.
31:02What, you little...
31:03Stop it!
31:06Honey, no matter what you say or do, I will always love you.
31:13Let's go.
31:14Come on.
31:22What's that for?
31:24For being here.
31:28For standing by me through this.
31:31You don't know what it means to me, Rex.
31:35Been a long time since I felt like I had a real partner.
31:40And it really helps, especially on a horrible morning like this.
31:53Hey, Alyssa, hey, Lily, how are you guys?
31:56May I speak to you, Pete?
31:58Um, sure, boys.
32:00Here, stay right there.
32:02Yes, Mom.
32:06So, how are you?
32:07Dennis left me.
32:09What?
32:09Dennis left me.
32:12Why?
32:13You told him to.
32:15You mind?
32:16I'm sorry, what?
32:16I'm talking to my husband about my man.
32:18And none of the business.
32:19Alyssa, stop.
32:20I can't understand you.
32:21You're going to have to talk slower.
32:36Dennis said you yelled at him for saying stuff behind my back.
32:41Well, yeah.
32:43And he said you told him our counselor wasn't working.
32:48Yes, that's not exactly what I...
32:50Where the hell do you come off telling people to stop going to counseling?
32:54I didn't mean that you...
32:56Sure.
32:56We have our share of problems.
32:59Financial, emotional, sexual.
33:03But we were solving them.
33:07Alyssa, come here.
33:12Are you sure you want to be saying these things in front of your daughter?
33:18Now, you're telling me how to raise my daughter?
33:22Lily, we're coming back.
33:26Alyssa, I am so sorry if I caused a problem.
33:30I just wanted to help.
33:32Why?
33:33Why do I help?
33:34Well, because...
33:36Oh, because I was deaf?
33:37No, because your husband was being a total jerk.
33:43And you just got to come in on your white horse and come to the rescue.
33:48Well, guess what?
33:49I didn't need to be rescued.
33:51Got that?
33:52I didn't need to be rescued.
34:00Bitch!
34:03Uh, she said...
34:05Yes, thank you.
34:06I know what she just said.
34:11I mean, one minute we're making out in his truck,
34:13and the next thing I know, we're at the hospital,
34:15and the doctor's digging a bullet out of him.
34:18It's just that when I started dating Mike,
34:20he seemed like such a normal guy, you know?
34:22They always do.
34:24You want to get some nachos?
34:25I mean, obviously, I am not going to read the letter.
34:28At some point, you just got to let it go, right?
34:30Right.
34:32You mind if we leave off the jalapenos?
34:33I'm not so good with spicy things.
34:35I don't mean to be babbling.
34:36It's just really complicated,
34:37and there is so much about Mike, you don't even know.
34:41That would surprise me at this point.
34:48Edie.
34:48Your foreman said that you were out on a date with a hottie.
34:51Evidently, someone's in need of LASIK.
34:54You tracked us down?
34:55Oh, well, it wasn't hard.
34:57I just followed the stench of betrayal.
35:00We had an agreement, Susan.
35:02No, we didn't.
35:03You know, I just said what you wanted to hear
35:05because you guilted me into it.
35:07I was trying to protect our already fragile friendship.
35:10Am I in the middle of something here?
35:12Not anymore.
35:13You, I will hate forever.
35:16And you are fired.
35:19Edie!
35:20You're firing me because I'm going out with Susan?
35:22Yes.
35:23And before you start whining that dating her is punishment enough,
35:27save it.
35:36I suppose I could tell her you threw yourself at me.
35:39You were lonely, you begged to have dinner, and I took pity on you.
35:42Well, excuse me, but that kind of makes it sound like it was my fault.
35:47You can't possibly blame me.
35:50I'm not the one who fired you.
35:51Right.
35:51You just chose not to tell me that Edie would be insanely mad if I went out with you.
35:55Slow down, you're driving too fast.
35:57You know, this is between you and Edie.
35:59I just got sucked into the drama.
36:01Yeah, I bet you tell yourself that all the time.
36:03What does that mean?
36:05You didn't get sucked into the drama.
36:06You invited it in.
36:08That's not true.
36:09You spent the last hour obsessing over your ex-boyfriend,
36:12even though he's a sketchy ex-con who very possibly strangled your neighbor.
36:16Well, no, he didn't.
36:17And Edie told you not to go out with me.
36:20But did you listen?
36:20No, because you saw the potential for disaster,
36:23and you just couldn't resist getting in there.
36:25Okay, mister, let's just have fun,
36:27because I'm the charming casual contractor man.
36:29You chased me, so own it, my friend.
36:50You didn't get that tire fixed, did you?
36:53I was meaning to.
36:58I guess I do invite the drama in.
37:01Just a little.
37:11I don't know.
37:11Tom, am I a bad person?
37:18No.
37:19Why would you say that?
37:21I don't know.
37:22I guess I just have it in my head
37:23that only bad people break up marriages
37:26and offend the handicapped.
37:28I did try to warn you.
37:31You did.
37:32Why do I do it?
37:34This compulsion to stick my nose where it doesn't belong.
37:39I mean, you were just looking out for your friend.
37:42You're a lot of good at dinner.
37:44At least you tried.
37:46I admire you for that.
37:47Oh, please.
37:48Hey, you know, I'm the guy who let Dennis badmouth his wife
37:52because I was afraid of making a scene.
37:54But you, you knew it was wrong, and you let him have it.
37:57That's me.
37:58Never afraid to create a scene.
38:01Hey, honey, look.
38:02My point is that you have a strong sense of what is right,
38:06and you're not afraid to act on it.
38:09And I admire you for that.
38:11You know what I admire you for?
38:15You find a way to compliment me
38:17when you could say,
38:19I told you so.
38:29You just signed I told you so, didn't you?
38:32You'll never prove it.
38:39Thanks for coming in, Mrs. Solis.
38:41I believe you've met Nurse Heisel?
38:43Yes.
38:44Hello.
38:44Again.
38:47Nurse Heisel became quite attached to your mother-in-law.
38:51That's why I asked her to be here for this.
38:53First of all, I want you to understand
38:55that we consider our commitment to our patients a sacred trust.
38:59Okay.
39:04Having said that,
39:05it appears there may,
39:07and I stress may,
39:09have been a breakdown in our chain of care.
39:12I can assure you
39:13that we hold our staff
39:14to the highest standards in the industry.
39:17But we are only human, after all.
39:22Honey, are you okay?
39:25Nurse Heisel, why don't you step out?
39:28I'm so sorry.
39:30Uh-huh.
39:36We all share in your grief.
39:40Apparently.
39:42And we're hoping to alleviate any further pain your family may suffer
39:47by offering some monetary compensation.
39:54Provided you and your husband waive any future right to litigation, of course.
39:59Monetary compensation.
40:03You're trying to buy us off?
40:04Let's not get tangled up in legalese.
40:08We like to think of it as an extension of our caring.
40:13Well, in that case, care away.
40:21Mr. Hartley, I have a hypothetical legal question for you.
40:26I like to play the lottery, and I...
40:30Yes, I know what the odds are,
40:32but I just love those scratch-offs.
40:35Say I were to win...
40:37I don't know, a million, six hundred thousand dollars.
40:42Would the government be able to take it?
40:45Like they took everything else?
40:50That's what I thought.
40:52The bastards.
40:56So, what if we won the lottery after Carlos went to jail?
40:59Could the government touch the money then?
41:02Hypothetically.
41:04I see.
41:06And we could keep the house.
41:15Oh, no, I'm just at the grocery store,
41:17wondering if I should buy a ticket.
41:19Thanks a bunch, Mr. Hartley.
41:22So, what time should I bring Carlos to the DA's office tomorrow?
41:27Great.
41:34We all honor heroes for different reasons.
41:38Sometimes for their daring.
41:46Sometimes for their bravery.
41:53Sometimes for their goodness.
41:57I love you.
42:05But mostly, we honor heroes.
42:10Because at one point or another,
42:14we all dream of being rescued.
42:23Of course, if the right hero doesn't come along,
42:30sometimes we just have to rescue ourselves.
42:38Take care.
42:39And take care.
42:39.
