Transcript
00:02Previously on Desperate Housewives
00:04Your spleen has wandered close to your heart
00:06We gotta take it out
00:07Get your insurance figured out by the
00:08There was the bad news
00:10There's a cop I want you to talk to
00:11His name is Sullivan
00:12The file on Mella's daughter
00:14The discomforting news
00:16Thanks
00:16Are you hiding someone in your house?
00:19Tell me your secrets, I'll understand
00:22Okay
00:22And the news no one should know
00:25She told me you was first
00:30Once a month, the creme de la creme of Fairview Society
00:33Would attend a semi-formal luncheon
00:36At the home of Maxine Bennett
00:39Everyone loved these elegant get-togethers
00:41Everyone, that is
00:43But a certain red-headed housewife
00:45Who was convinced Maxine was a liar
00:49You see, Maxine liked to brag
00:52That she did all her own cooking
00:53And because each course was served promptly
00:58Presented with flair
01:02And was positively mouth-watering
01:05Brie knew Maxine had had some health
01:09And sadly for Maxine
01:13Brie intended to prove it
01:16Maxine, once again, this entire lunch
01:18Was just out of this world
01:19I just have to get the number of your caterer
01:22What a nice compliment
01:23No, I'm afraid this is all my doing
01:26It was a triumph
01:27An absolute triumph
01:28Oh, come on
01:29Do you honestly expect us to believe
01:31That you had the time
01:32To prepare a six-course meal
01:34For ten women
01:34Even I couldn't make this
01:36And have time to get ready for a party
01:38Well, perhaps you're just not as organized
01:40As I am
01:43If you'll excuse me
01:47Brie, what's gotten into you?
01:49I have the same recipe
01:50For English plum pudding
01:51It takes six hours to prepare
01:53How would she have time to make all of this
01:56And everything else that we ate today
01:57This is not the pudding of an honest woman
02:01FBI, open up
02:02What on earth?
02:12Looking for Maxine Bennett
02:13I'm Maxine
02:15We have a warrant to search the premises, ma'am
02:16A warrant?
02:17I'm in the middle of a luncheon
02:19Over here
02:23Found her
02:25What?
02:27Maxine Bennett
02:28You're under arrest
02:29Or involuntary servitude
02:31Is this the woman who locked you up?
02:33Yeah
02:34She's the woman who locked you up
02:36Beat you away
02:37Beat you away
02:39Beat you away
02:40See you
02:41You're
02:46Brie, what's going on?
02:48Well, I'm not sure
02:50But I think Maxine had a slave
02:51I can't believe it
02:54I just can't believe it
02:57But Brie could
02:58You see, for her
03:01The proof
03:02Was in the pudding
03:09Check me
03:10The world is filled
03:13With unlikely friendships
03:16Odd pairings
03:17That to the casual observer
03:19Make absolutely no sense at all
03:23But if we look closer
03:25We can see why these alliances form
03:28After all
03:30A shared purpose
03:32Can give even mortal enemies
03:34Common ground
03:36Brie
03:37We have a question for you
03:39Oh, what is it?
03:41Well, we were just wondering
03:41Actually, we were curious
03:43About, um, uh
03:44What the hell's going on
03:45With you and Betty Applewhite?
03:46Yeah, that
03:48Excuse me?
03:49Well, from the day
03:50That dead body showed up
03:51Nobody was yelling
03:52Oh, the Applewhites are involved
03:54Louder than you
03:55And the next thing we know
03:56You're having Betty over for poker?
03:58Well, what gives?
03:59She makes it sound like we're angry
04:00And we're not angry
04:01I'm a little angry
04:01Can we talk about this later?
04:03I have ice cream in here
04:05Brie, could this flip-flop
04:06Have something to do
04:07With the fact that Danielle's dating Matthew?
04:10Yeah, that would get her
04:13Oh, don't do that
04:15Mrs. McCloskey
04:15She saw them making out in the park
04:17Edie
04:17What?
04:18Can't you sugarcoat it a little?
04:20I did
04:21He had his hand down her shirt
04:24Brie
04:25We know that you have a good reason
04:26For wanting Betty to hang out with us
04:28We just wondered if you could
04:30Clue us in a little
04:32When it comes to Betty Applewhite
04:33I know what I'm doing
04:34And you two are just gonna have to trust me
04:36And if you can't do that
04:38Then perhaps I've overestimated
04:40The depth of our friendship
04:41Now, if you'll excuse me
04:44What a bitch
04:46Edie, can you
04:47I was sugarcoating it
05:01Oh, none of that in here
05:03Come on
05:04Maybe if we remind Ed
05:05That I'm shacking up with a senior VP
05:07He'll stop killing all my pitches
05:08You've only been here a week
05:09Why don't you give yourself a break?
05:11You know, the ad game
05:12I've only got a certain amount of time
05:13To make my mark
05:13Before he kicks me to the curb
05:15Look, I'm just asking you
05:17Jump in every once in a while
05:19Throw me some rope
05:19You know when Ed's on the warpath
05:20I can't protect you
05:22You're gonna have to find a way
05:23To click with Ed yourself
05:26Then the pig
05:27He rubs his stomach
05:28And he goes
05:30Farm fresh bacon
05:31I'll make a piggy out of you, too
05:39So
05:41The pig actually eats the bacon?
05:43Uh-huh, yeah
05:44I don't see the client doing a happy dance
05:46Over the whole cannibalism theme
05:51Well, Tom
05:52Why don't you pitch him the other idea
05:54You came up with last night
05:55You know, the one where
05:55People love bacon so much
05:57They want to keep it a secret?
05:58What, like a secret underground society
06:01Of bacon eaters?
06:02More like my college fraternity
06:03Where, you know, everybody wanted in
06:04But we only took the coolest guys
06:08You were Greek?
06:10Alpha, Tau, Omega
06:11I was Phi Cap
06:13You?
06:14And I don't remember you having to be that cool
06:15To pledge ATO
06:17Look, if I had a nickel
06:18For every Phi Cap
06:19That I tied naked to a freeway sign
06:21Scabo, if you were my pledge
06:22I'd have made you my bitch
06:23Oh, you think so?
06:24You know what?
06:26I'm liking this whole fraternity angle
06:30Yeah?
06:31You know, let's talk about it over lunch
06:33You're buying
06:37Stop
06:50Hello
06:52What's going on?
06:53Gabrielle, I want you to meet someone
06:55This is Xiaomei
06:56She's the young lady
06:57Who was forced to work for Maxine Bennett
06:59Oh, the slave
07:02Wow
07:04Looks well fed
07:05The church is making arrangements
07:06For her to return to China
07:07But until then
07:08She needs a place to stay
07:10So I offered a bar guest room
07:13Really?
07:16Baby
07:16Can I talk to you for a second?
07:21Are you nuts?
07:22It's only for a couple of days
07:24Oh, this time
07:24You are quickly becoming
07:26Father Crowley's go-to guy
07:27For charity cases
07:28And that's a bad thing
07:29When he turns our house
07:30Into a Catholic underground railroad
07:32Yes
07:33You know who you are, Gabby?
07:35You're the kind of person
07:36Who would have turned away
07:36Mary and Joseph from the inn
07:38Well
07:38They should have called ahead
07:49Don't brush your hair
07:51At the table
07:52Oh, you're talking to me?
07:54Does this mean you've finally forgiven me?
07:55Why should I?
07:56You betrayed this family
07:57And you're not even sorry
07:59Don't be such a drama queen
08:01If the Applewhites
08:02Go to the police
08:03And tell them
08:04That your brother
08:04Ran over Mrs. Solis
08:05He could go to prison
08:09How can you not understand that?
08:11They won't talk about Andrew
08:12As long as you don't go to the police
08:13About Caleb
08:14What did this Caleb do, exactly?
08:16And why on earth
08:17Are they hiding him?
08:19Why don't you go to Mrs. Applewhite
08:20And tell her
08:21You really need to know
08:21What's going on?
08:24I bet if you were really nice
08:25She'd tell you the truth
08:28Is that what you really think, Danielle?
08:30I should go to Mrs. Applewhite
08:31Be nice
08:32And then she'll
08:33Hand over all her secrets?
08:36Yeah
08:38When I was young
08:39My stepmother told me
08:40That I was very lucky
08:42I possessed beauty
08:44Wit
08:45Cunning
08:46And insight
08:47These were weapons
08:48All women needed
08:50To survive in the world
08:53So?
08:54So take good care
08:55Of your looks, Danielle
08:57You don't have any other weapons
08:58At your disposal
09:07Hi
09:08I need an operation on my spleen
09:10And I just found out
09:10I don't have medical insurance
09:11Is there anyone I can sue?
09:15After the embezzlement
09:16Lonnie let the policy lapse
09:18Now he's in jail
09:19And I'm gonna die
09:20Susie, you're not gonna die
09:22I'll get into it
09:23With the insurance company
09:24No, there isn't time
09:25For you to deal
09:26With the red tape
09:26My spleen
09:27Is going careening
09:29Into my heart
09:30I need that operation
09:31Help
09:31You know, I'd loan you
09:32The money myself
09:33But Edie and I
09:35Just plopped down
09:35Our savings
09:36In a ski condo
09:37And
09:37I don't need a loan
09:39I need coverage
09:41I mean, what if
09:42There are complications?
09:43I don't have a safety net
09:48What in the hell
09:49Are you doing?
09:50I'm saying a little prayer
09:51Oh, for puke's sake
09:53Well, what?
09:54I'm desperate here
09:55Do you have any other ideas?
09:56As a matter of fact, I do
09:59What you need is a husband
10:01What?
10:02The only way to get
10:03A good health plan
10:04Is to marry into one
10:06Edie, come on
10:08No, no
10:09I think she's on to something
10:11Yeah
10:11If we find a guy
10:12With the right plan
10:14You could have a sham wedding
10:15On a Monday night
10:16And be fully covered
10:17Tuesday morning
10:18I can't believe
10:19You're actually considering
10:20This
10:20The surgeon is slicing me open
10:22A week from tomorrow
10:23What other choice do I have?
10:25All we have to do
10:26Is find a guy
10:26Who's willing to marry you
10:34You know, come to think of it
10:35A little prayer
10:36Might not be such a bad idea
10:38After all
10:46Pat, we're all here
10:47So send the call in
10:48As soon as you get it
10:53Two hundred bucks
10:54Says you can't do that
10:55Three times in a row
10:57Huh?
10:59You catch three of those
11:01Two hundred bucks
11:03What do you say there, Scavel?
11:05You're on
11:07Here we go
11:07Ah, ah, ah, ah
11:09Throw them by me
11:10I'm sorry
11:12I'm sorry
11:12I thought we were here
11:13To talk about the farm
11:14Fresh rollout
11:15They gotta be catchable
11:16Big guy
11:16Well, just let me
11:17Worry about the shooting
11:18Come on
11:25That's one
11:26Guys
11:29Nice moves
11:31One more, big guy
11:32Guys, please
11:33That's
11:34All right
11:37Ow
11:39Ow
11:41That wasn't even catchable
11:43You know what, maybe not
11:44It was totally worth the two hundred bucks
11:47Woo
11:48All right, well
11:49You got me
11:50You're a little monkey man
11:52I love this guy
12:02Oh, hi
12:03Do you have to sit around all day?
12:07I mean, shouldn't you be out experiencing
12:09Western civilization
12:10While you have the chance?
12:14What are you doing?
12:16I fix
12:17No, this is couture
12:19This rip has to be fixed
12:20By an experienced tailor
12:21You can't just
12:22Holy crap
12:24The stitching is perfect
12:26Hungry?
12:33Did you make all of this?
12:38Oh
12:39For me?
12:41Okay
12:46Oh my god
12:49You like?
12:50I like a lot
13:05You like that?
13:07Yeah, that's nice
13:09So you know what they do to people in China
13:12Who speak out against the government?
13:13They put them in forced labor camps
13:16Isn't that awful?
13:18Mm-hmm
13:18I mean, it's such a repressive regime
13:23We forget how good we have it
13:25Yes, we do
13:26Don't you think
13:28Xiaomé
13:28Would like it better
13:30Here in America?
13:31I mean, where she could
13:32Learn about freedom
13:34And democracy
13:35And stuff?
13:37Does this have anything to do
13:38With you making Xiaomé do housework?
13:40What?
13:41I just came from downstairs
13:42And found her waxing the floor
13:43She told me you asked her
13:44To put on two coats
13:46Well, first of all
13:47That was her idea
13:48Second of all
13:49I can't have this conversation
13:50Until you've tasted her crab pops
13:58She just got done
13:59Being a slave
14:00And she wants to go back to China
14:03We can't force her to stay here
14:04And be our maid
14:05Well, who's forcing her?
14:07We'll pay her whatever she wants
14:08And the best part is
14:09With her resume
14:10Any wage will look good
14:13No way, baby
14:14Mm-mm
14:17What?
14:22What?
14:23What?
14:24So you don't get what you want?
14:25You just walk off and pout?
14:26Oh, this isn't about me
14:27This is about our great nation
14:29And I have no intention
14:30Of sexually satisfying a man
14:31Who isn't willing to stand up for
14:33And helps spread the ideals
14:34And values of the United States of America
14:41Sometimes she is a little hard to stomach
14:43But she means well
14:45That's...
14:45Oh, there she is
14:46I came as soon as I got your message
14:48Is this...
14:49This is Gary Grantham
14:51Your future ex-husband
14:52Wow
14:52Nice to meet you
14:54Listen
14:55I've got to meet a client
14:56I've got to go
14:56So just talk amongst yourselves
14:58And you two make a very handsome couple
15:02Yeah
15:03Yeah
15:05Uh, hi
15:06Hi
15:08So do you want to get married on Wednesday?
15:09Because Thursday and Friday
15:10I'm out of town
15:12Oh
15:12Oh, yeah
15:13Sure, that's...
15:14Wednesday's great
15:15I'm...
15:16Well, I'm just curious
15:17How did Edie convince you
15:18To do this so quickly?
15:20Oh, she explained your situation to me
15:22I'm sort of in need of a fake bride myself
15:24So I figured
15:24What the heck?
15:26Why would you need a fake bride?
15:28Uh, I'm gay
15:29And I've never come out to my mother
15:32Really?
15:32No
15:32At first I just didn't want to upset her
15:34Then she got older
15:36She got emphysema
15:36And diverticulitis
15:37And I started thinking
15:38If I just kept my mouth shut
15:39Then one day nature would take its course
15:42And we could avoid
15:43What is sure to be a very ugly scene
15:46So what changed?
15:48She told me at her 81st birthday party last month
15:50The only reason she's hanging on
15:52Is to see me get married
15:54Oh
15:54Oh, so by marrying me
15:57Yeah, I'll get my inheritance that much sooner
16:00No, but mostly I want to make sure she's happy
16:03Oh
16:05Well, you seem very nice, Susan
16:08It will be a pleasure being married to you
16:12Likewise
16:13Here, you finish the rest of the fries
16:23Here's your mail
16:24And your pills
16:25Oh
16:26More pills
16:38Stillman
16:40Where did this come from?
16:43I don't know
16:43I was in with your other mail
16:49Get me the phone
17:02Sullivan, it's me
17:03I just got some news
17:04And I need to get you involved
17:06Looks like Delfino's been holding out on me
17:16The next morning
17:18Bree came up with the plan
17:20To get to the truth
17:21She so desperately needed
17:22As she watched the Applewhites leave their house
17:26She thought of how much she had trusted
17:28The previous owners
17:29And how much they
17:32Had trusted her
17:55Caleb, is that you?
18:03Hi
18:05I'm Bree
18:06I live down the street
18:09I'm a friend of your mother's
18:11She not home
18:13I know
18:15I came to see you
18:18Me?
18:19Yes
18:19Your mother told me all about you
18:21And I thought it might be nice
18:23If, um, we had a little visit
18:27I brought you some homemade cobbler
18:40Here we go
18:44What's going on?
18:45Well, um, Ed bet Tom that he wouldn't eat a donut out of the toilet
18:51Isn't it disgusting?
18:56Uh, it's got to be fully dunked
18:58I don't want the glaze to repel the water
19:00Whoa, slight delay, people
19:02I'm requesting a scrub down
19:03Does anybody know where they keep the toilet brush?
19:08Okay, just for one second
19:09Hey, I never thought I'd have to ask you this
19:11But are you about to eat a donut out of the toilet?
19:13Yeah
19:14For the Galveston jewelers account
19:16I don't care
19:17You're not going to do this
19:18Lynette, you're the one who told me to find a way to click with Ed
19:20Well, now we've got our thing
19:22And it's paying off for me
19:25That's because Ed gets off on humiliating you
19:27Please, don't do this
19:30We're waiting, Scavo
19:35This is my moment
19:43So, Caleb, besides your mother and brother
19:46Does anybody else know that you're here?
19:50No
19:53You're pretty
19:56Thank you, that's very sweet
19:59So, where have you been living this whole time? Upstairs?
20:03No
20:05I just moved upstairs
20:07My room's downstairs
20:09Downstairs?
20:10In the basement
20:14You want to see it?
20:41Caleb, have you been down here all these months?
20:44Yeah
20:47Did your mother make you wear those?
20:50Most of the time
20:51Oh my God
20:55Sweetheart
20:57I don't understand
20:59Why in the world would your mother treat you that way?
21:03I hurt a girl
21:06I hurt a girl
21:07A girl?
21:10Yeah
21:15And then she died
21:18Oh
21:21Her name was Melanie
21:27She was pretty
21:31Just like you
21:41Hi
21:46I thought you should know I'm getting married
21:51To the doctor?
21:52To the doctor?
21:52No, no
21:53No
21:55To a gay guy
21:57How did you know about the doctor?
21:59People talk
22:00So you
22:02You're marrying a gay guy
22:03I need health insurance
22:04Because I've got this wandering spleen
22:06And
22:07That sounds funny
22:08Spleen
22:09Wandering
22:10But actually it's not funny
22:11Because it can
22:13Bang into things
22:13So I need health insurance
22:15So I'm getting married tomorrow
22:16And
22:17You probably think I'm crazy, right?
22:20Well
22:20Can I wait?
22:21I mean
22:22The surgery
22:24No
22:25Can't wait
22:28Because it's really not that crazy
22:32How you doing, man?
22:35Susie, could you
22:35Give me a minute?
22:36Oh, yeah
22:37No, I'm sorry
22:38I
22:38That was really
22:42What do you want?
22:44It's not what I want, Delphino
22:45It's what Noah Taylor wants
22:47Where's his grandkid?
22:51Let's skip the part where you don't know anything about anything
22:54Mr. Taylor wants to chat
22:56What if I say no?
22:58Then I've got to find the kid myself
23:01My guess is he or she is somewhere around here close
23:05Your old girlfriend
23:08She's got a daughter, right?
23:10Maybe I should start by paying her a visit
23:14Her daughter's not the one
23:15Yeah, well, given your track record
23:17I might want to check that out for myself
23:23Tell him I'll be there in the morning
23:31Oh
23:32Oh, so pretty
23:37You like nice things?
23:41That's why I think you're stupid
23:42For not wanting to stay here
23:44You could be around my nice things all the time
23:47Taking care of them
23:50How fun would that be?
23:53Well, sure it's a lot more fun
23:55Than you'd have in that tiny, godforsaken village of yours
24:03You know, we're probably more alike than people would guess
24:07I'm from a small town, too
24:09My folks had nothing
24:11That's why I love America
24:13Anything is possible
24:24You like that?
24:27Old, fat stockbroker gave this to me
24:30It's not worth anything
24:31You can have it
24:39You're so good
24:40You're so good
24:41Thank you
24:42Thank you
24:44Yes, ma'am
24:44Okay, glad you like it
24:48You can brush my hair
24:49You can brush my hair
24:50Oh
24:51Oh
24:52Oh
24:53Oh
24:53Oh
24:53Oh
24:54Oh
24:55Oh
24:55Oh
24:57Oh
25:19Susan, this is my best man, Steven
25:24He's also my life partner
25:25Oh
25:26Oh
25:27Hi
25:27It's nice to meet you
25:30Baby, be nice
25:31Come on
25:32Yes
25:34I'm sorry you have cancer
25:37Cancer?
25:38Isn't that the point of this whole charade?
25:42Gary said you needed insurance
25:43Oh, yes
25:44No, no, I do need insurance
25:46I just don't have cancer
25:47I have a wandering spleen
25:52I said it was like cancer
25:55Is there a problem?
25:57No
25:57No
25:58No, everything's fine
25:58Let's just go to the chapel
26:00The chapel
26:03I made a wedding cake
26:05I hope you enjoy it
26:07Oh
26:07Oh
26:08Oh
26:13So
26:14Are we ready to get started?
26:16Oh, do you have a thing to play music?
26:17I had Steven burn a little wedding mix for us
26:20For ambiance
26:21Sure
26:22Just give me a sec
26:29Do you have a problem?
26:31You said she was sick
26:33She is
26:34She has a wandering spleen
26:35It sounds nothing like cancer
26:37It doesn't even sound real
26:39Well it is
26:40I could die
26:41You look fine to me, honey
26:42Don't
26:43Do this
26:44I have asked you
26:45Six times
26:46To fly with me to Holland
26:47And get married
26:48And you always have some lame excuse
26:50But the second some chick
26:51With a silly disease comes along
26:53Well
26:53You drop everything and head for a chapel
26:56Oh no, it's a serious illness
26:57See, it just sounds silly
26:59Because of the word spleen
27:01What do you want from me?
27:02I want you to worry about my feelings
27:04Half as much as you worry about your mother's
27:06What is it going to take to make you happy?
27:08Not go through with the wedding?
27:09Is that what you're asking?
27:10Oh, no, no, no
27:11Stop right there
27:12Okay, I would love to see you two crazy kids get hitched in Holland
27:16More than anyone
27:17With the tulips and the clogs in front of a windmill
27:19The whole shebang
27:20But unless I get this surgery
27:22My spleen is going to slam straight into my heart and explode
27:26So, you know, seeing as I'm just a nice person
27:29And I always support gay rights
27:31Let's just do this
27:32And then I'll have a husband and insurance
27:34And nobody gets hurt
27:40Come on
27:42Stephen, what?
27:43Oh my God
27:44Stephen
27:46She's just
27:47Yeah
27:50I'm so sorry
27:51My hands are tied
27:52I'm really sorry
27:58Stephen, wait
27:59Stephen
28:00Where are you going?
28:01Let me go
28:08Finally got the sound system working
28:12Where's the groom?
28:26Hey Susie Q
28:30What's wrong for newlywed?
28:31You don't have much spring in your step
28:34I didn't get married
28:36Really?
28:38I got to the altar
28:39But the whole fake wedding thing sort of imploded
28:44Wow
28:46I'm sorry
28:48I still don't have insurance
28:50I need to get that operation
28:52I'm...
28:55I'm really screwed
29:01Well...
29:05Why don't I just marry you?
29:07What?
29:08I've got a fantastic health plan
29:10You'd be covered instantly
29:11We were actually married
29:16Look Susie, I've always felt awful
29:19About walking out on you the way I did
29:21And I figure if we do this
29:24I'd basically be saving your life
29:29I figure I owe you one
29:33Carl
29:37So what do you say?
29:38Will you marry me, Susan Meyer?
29:42Again?
29:46What the hell?
29:48Carl!
29:58What are we gonna do about Edie?
29:59We can't tell her
30:00She'd kill us both
30:01It'd be our little secret
30:06We've really enjoyed having you as a guest, right Gabby?
30:09Absolutely
30:11Gemma, you are a very special girl
30:14So...
30:14So you take care, okay?
30:19Oh...
30:24Thanks for all your help, Carlos
30:26My pleasure, brother
30:32Bye bye
30:35Ladies...
30:37Please don't tell me you're crying just because you can't have the maid you want
30:41Carlos, she wouldn't have been just a maid
30:43She would have been the best damn maid ever
30:46God, you're pathetic
30:48Shut up!
30:50Hey
30:52Something's going on
30:54I'll tell you
30:55I'll tell you
30:55I'll tell you
30:56I'll tell you
30:56I'll tell you
30:56I'll tell you
30:57I'll tell you
30:58I'll tell you
30:59I'll tell you
31:02I'll tell you
31:03Is your problem?
31:04I'll tell you
31:05Xiao Mei doesn't want to go back to China
31:07She wants to stay here and work for you
31:10What? Why?
31:10Why?
31:12You're very good for me
31:14We're both like a family
31:17She says Mrs. Solis treated her with more kindness than she's ever known
31:22She now thinks of you two as family
31:26Oh, really?
31:28Oh, of course you can stay
31:36Gabby
31:38Carlos, she thinks of us as family
31:46I'm ready to hear those farm fresh concepts?
31:48Conference room in five?
31:50Toilet boy?
31:54You are so not allowed to complain to me
31:56I know
31:56You were right, okay?
31:58So now I'm known throughout the advertising world as Toilet Boy
32:01Tell him you're done with the games
32:02You don't want to play anymore
32:04No, no, no, I can't
32:05I can't
32:05If I back down now we'll see it as a sign of weakness
32:07Look, this is the way that guys do business
32:09What?
32:10So he called in
32:11He made me his bitch
32:14Come on
32:20Here you go
32:22You know, Ed, I've been thinking
32:24We've had a lot of fun and games around here lately
32:26But maybe it's time to set a slightly more professional tone in the office
32:30Oh, I get it
32:32Somebody went running to mommy, didn't he?
32:35Tom loses a few beds so he tries to get his wife to make me back off?
32:40Oh, this is so alpha-ta
32:42I am gonna make him pay
32:45No, no, you're not gonna make him pay
32:48You are gonna stop this now
32:50This is my company
32:52This is my company
32:52If people want to work here, they play by my rules
33:00Ed!
33:01What?
33:04I'm calling you out
33:05Huh?
33:06Yes, you're right
33:07This is your company, so I'll play by your rules
33:09What do I have to do to get you to stop this frat boy crap?
33:13Shave my eyebrows, come to work naked
33:15Name your steaks
33:16Not time for this
33:17Aw, what's wrong, Ed?
33:20You afraid a fi-cap's gonna get beaten by a girl?
33:22Come on, big man
33:25Just a little bet
33:32As you know, I think that making the workplace fun is good for morale
33:37But Lynette here thinks that our shenanigans have gone a little out of hand
33:42No, hold on, hold on
33:45I respect Lynette's work ethic
33:47So, we've decided to settle the matter with a little test of intestinal fortitude
33:54If she can eat one pound of our client's fine, farm-fresh pork product, raw
34:05There'll be a moratorium on wagering in the office
34:10I know you are doing this for me, you don't need to do this
34:13I don't need you fighting my fights
34:14I am not fighting your fights
34:16This is my fight
34:18It's how guys do business, right?
34:28This is so disgusting
34:32We're handing on you
34:36Well, we're young
34:37Well, we're young
34:49No shame in defeat, Lynette
34:51No shame at all
35:01Oh, we're young
35:04Oh, we're young
35:10Oh, we're young
35:19Oh, I love you
35:20Oh, we're young
35:21God, I love you
35:22I'm sorry, what's up?
35:23Female, look, I'm sorry
35:35Oh, this is too much.
35:45What?
35:47She took the bet.
35:49This is fun, people.
35:53She's one more.
35:59Oh, oh.
36:17So, can this be a place of business again, Ed?
36:21No more games?
36:23Sure.
36:26Sucked all the fun out of it anyway.
36:38That was really something.
36:42Thanks.
36:44Could you scrounge me up a bucket?
36:58Caleb said a nice red-haired lady came to visit him.
37:00Come on in, Betty.
37:07Did you drink?
37:08This is not a social call, Bree.
37:10Did you or did you not break into my home and talk to my son?
37:14Caleb and I had a very lovely chat.
37:17Yes.
37:18If you ever come near him again, there will be hell to pay.
37:21Do you understand?
37:25Aren't you going to ask me what we talked about?
37:29The name, um, Melanie Foster came up.
37:36I'm going to pour you a drink now, Betty, because we're about to have a very honest discussion, and I
37:41think you're going to need a little help getting through it.
37:49I don't know.
37:50His name's Zach Young.
37:51He lives with his father.
37:52Mother committed suicide about a year ago.
37:54How did he end up with these people?
37:57How do you think?
37:59Deirdre was strung out, Noah.
38:00She gave him up.
38:02I want to see this boy.
38:04He's got a new family now.
38:05I can't just snap my fingers and get him in here.
38:07Maybe not, but I can snap my fingers and Detective Sullivan can make it happen.
38:11You don't want to do that?
38:12No.
38:12Is that really the way you want to meet him?
38:14Have that thug drag him in here so Grandpa can give him a hug?
38:19Fine.
38:19You bring him.
38:20I'll give you two days.
38:22As you know, I'm on a bit of a clock here.
38:31When Caleb was born and the doctors discovered that he was different, I didn't even cry.
38:42It was the most painful moment of my life.
38:47I didn't shed a single tear.
38:50I just thought to myself, what's the point?
38:53He is my son and I have to raise him as best I can.
39:00That's my job.
39:03In a lot of ways, I feel so blessed.
39:07Caleb is challenged, but he has such a sweet nature.
39:12I'm sure you noticed that when you came to visit.
39:16Yes, I did.
39:18I also noticed that you had him chained in the basement.
39:26That's because of Melanie Foster.
39:31Melanie was a girl that Matthew dated.
39:36She was a debutante.
39:38And like typical teenagers, their relationship was full of drama.
39:44They were always breaking up, getting back together and breaking up.
39:48One night after one of the big blow-ups, Caleb somehow convinced Melanie to meet him down at our local
39:55lumberyard.
39:57I can only imagine that she thought he was bringing some kind of apology from Matthew, but he wasn't.
40:05Caleb told Melanie he was in love with her.
40:09And that if he was her boyfriend, he would never break up with her.
40:16And she laughed in his face.
40:19He tried to show her he was serious by kissing her.
40:24And she hit him.
40:30He doesn't remember a lot of what happened after that, but he does know that he got very, very angry.
40:37And that there was an axe lying on the ground nearby.
40:45Yes.
40:47My Caleb killed Melanie.
40:51But I couldn't let him go to jail.
40:55Or worse, be put down.
40:58For what was really my crime.
41:02Your crime.
41:06It was my responsibility.
41:10I was supposed to protect him from himself.
41:13I am his mother.
41:16That was my job.
41:31The world is filled with unlikely friendships.
41:36How do they begin?
41:38With one person desperately in need.
41:42And another willing to lend a helping hand.
41:46When such kindness is offered, we're finally able to see the worth of those we had previously written off.
41:56And before we know it, a bond has formed.
42:02Regardless of whether others can understand it.
42:06Yes.
42:08Unlikely friendships start up every day.
42:11No one understands this.
42:14More than the lonely.
42:16Only.
42:18In fact.
42:21It's what they count on.
42:41It's just a day for people to do it.
42:45You can do that.
42:48You feel your hands on this road.
