00:05Every neighborhood has a woman like Alberta Fromm, and every woman like Mrs. Fromm has a cat.
00:12When she traveled, Mrs. Fromm would arrange for friends to look after her beloved cat.
00:18This time, however, she was forced to ask her neighbor, Susan Meyer.
00:23Mrs. Fromm liked Susan, but it was common knowledge on Wisteria Lane where Susan Meyer went, bad luck was sure
00:30to follow.
00:32Her misfortunes ranged from the commonplace, to the unusual, to the truly bizarre.
00:46As she waved goodbye, she worried that Susan's streak of bad luck would continue.
00:51For that matter, so did her cat.
00:59Mr. Whiskers!
01:00Kitty!
01:01Dinner time!
01:03Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!
01:06That's weird.
01:08Cats can't open drawers, can they?
01:11Are you sure you didn't leave them open this morning?
01:13No way.
01:15Wow.
01:16Do you think somebody broke in?
01:21Mr. Whiskers!
01:23Mr. Whiskers!
01:25Mr. Whiskers!
01:28Mr. Whiskers!
01:30Mr. Whiskers!
01:36Though she didn't know it at the time, Susan's luck...
01:40had finally started to change.
01:44News that an intruder had breached the security of Wisteria Lane
01:48spread like wildfire.
01:50At a neighborhood watch meeting the next night,
01:52residents voiced their concerns over the increasing dangers
01:55their community faced.
01:58Mrs. Ida Greenberg announced someone was looking through
02:01her bathroom window whenever she took a shower.
02:03Bob Fisk warned those present that an unnamed government agency
02:07was listening in on their phone conversations.
02:10Helen Vail spoke of a ruthless local teenage gang
02:13that had egged her minivan.
02:16There are three factors that contribute to the...
02:18The evening concluded with Officer Thompson
02:20offering safety tips and a plan of action.
02:23An opportunity you have some control over.
02:26So you can sign up for either daily or nightly patrols.
02:29I know that might seem like overkill,
02:31but I guarantee regular surveillance will deter
02:33even the most determined criminal.
02:35So are there any other questions?
02:37All right then.
02:38Let's be careful out there.
02:43Actually, I do have a question.
02:44Do you have a second?
02:45Sure.
02:45How can I help?
02:46Um, I'm one who discovered the break-in
02:48and I think I found some evidence.
02:50Evidence?
02:51I think this is a screwdriver left behind by the burglar.
02:55And I didn't touch it.
02:56Well, why didn't you give this to the investigating officers?
02:58I tried and they sort of laughed at me
03:00because apparently nothing was taken from Mrs. Fromm's house.
03:03Well, I apologize for that.
03:04That was totally unprofessional.
03:07So you think it should be dusted for prints?
03:09Yes.
03:10And I'll make sure it gets done.
03:12Great.
03:15Bye.
03:21Boys, stop it.
03:23Go to bed.
03:24But we're not tired.
03:26Well, at least go upstairs.
03:27We want to play.
03:30Give me.
03:30Oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:32Give me.
03:33Go.
03:34Go, go.
03:34Bye-bye.
03:36Go.
03:37I want him.
03:37Give me up.
03:38Give me up.
03:39I want him.
03:39I want him.
03:40So why weren't you sitting with Mark tonight?
03:42I thought you two were becoming an item.
03:43I sort of thought so, too.
03:45Giving a lot of mixed signals.
03:46I'll tell you who wasn't giving mixed signals
03:48was that sexy Officer Thompson.
03:50He was staring at you all night.
03:51You notice that?
03:52Honey, trust me.
03:53When they're not staring at me, I notice.
03:55I really do appreciate you guys staying and helping.
03:58Oh, please.
03:59I would have hosted it myself,
04:00but the kids are going to the mountains tomorrow
04:02and there's camping equipment everywhere.
04:03It's nice of you.
04:04And since we're talking,
04:06there's something else nice that I'd like you to do.
04:08Your kids both went to Barcliff Academy, didn't they?
04:10Yes.
04:11We need you to recommend Porter and Preston.
04:13We can't even get an interview.
04:14Oh, you, um, want me to recommend the twins?
04:17Yes.
04:17You can tell them how beautifully behaved the boys are.
04:20So you want me to lie?
04:22Yeah.
04:22I thought that was understood.
04:23Well, it's just that I'm very well-respected at Barcliff
04:25and, um, my word won't be good there anymore.
04:28Yes, but by the time they realize their mistake,
04:30we'll be in.
04:31You're not having any more kids.
04:33What do you care?
04:34Well, I had hoped someday
04:35to get my grandchildren into Barcliff,
04:37but I suppose that doesn't matter to you, does it?
04:40It really doesn't.
04:41I don't care if I'm alone.
04:42You've got to be finished with this.
04:44How bother you?
04:44I don't think I said I'll leave it alone.
04:46Go!
04:47Go!
04:47Team comments!
04:48Paul and Zach are fighting again.
04:50It's the second time this week.
04:51They never used to fight like that
04:53when Mary Alice was alive.
04:54It's a shame.
04:54They used to be such a happy family.
04:56Just because you didn't hear them fighting
04:58doesn't mean they were happy.
04:59I didn't think they were here.
05:00None of them have been missed.
05:02They are.
05:07The next day,
05:09as residents began to patrol Wisteria Lane
05:11in the hopes of foiling potential burglars,
05:15Gabrielle was about to experience
05:16a home invasion of her own.
05:23Mama Solis!
05:24What are you doing here?
05:26I came to visit my son and daughter-in-law.
05:29What does it look like?
05:30Does Carlos know you're coming?
05:32No.
05:33He likes to be surprised.
05:36Now come.
05:38Gabrielle.
05:39Come.
05:43Families should always hug
05:46regardless of how they feel about each other.
06:11Wow.
06:12She's a beauty.
06:1330-footer?
06:1532.
06:16Sweet.
06:17I sail.
06:18I've got a flying scot.
06:20Well, we have several yachting enthusiasts
06:21here at Barcliffe Academy.
06:23I'd be happy to introduce them to you.
06:24Oh, that sounds great.
06:26If we decide to enroll your children.
06:30To be honest,
06:32Mr. and Mrs. Scavo,
06:33your children's educational background
06:35is a bit more common
06:36than we would prefer.
06:38But Mrs. Vandekamp mentioned
06:40that they were identical twins.
06:42Yes.
06:42Completely identical.
06:43You can't tell them apart.
06:44They're like bookends.
06:45We do strive for diversity here at Barcliffe.
06:48Identical twins could make
06:49for an interesting addition.
06:50The boys are fascinating.
06:52They even have their own twin secret language,
06:54don't they, Tom?
06:54Yeah.
06:55Yeah, it's pretty scary.
06:56Well, it's not really so much scary
06:57as highly developed.
06:58Yeah, they bark and growl at each other.
07:01Sorry, Tom.
07:01Mr. Lentz was trying to say something.
07:03Sorry.
07:03Go ahead, Mr. Lentz.
07:05I'd love to meet these twins of yours.
07:07But I tell you what,
07:08I'm going to put them on our must-meet list.
07:10Terrific.
07:11Thank you so much.
07:13What is a must-meet list?
07:15We bring them in for observation.
07:18Observation?
07:19To see how they play with the other children,
07:21how they respond to authority,
07:23that sort of thing.
07:25Great.
07:26That sounds wonderful.
07:33Hey.
07:34Hi.
07:35Kids ready?
07:36Almost.
07:37Thanks again for driving them to the bus.
07:38Happy to do it.
07:46Did you hear there was a break-in
07:47at Mrs. Frome's the other night?
07:48Yeah.
07:49I heard they didn't take anything.
07:51Well, that doesn't make it any less frightening.
07:52I mean, he could have been a sexual predator.
07:55Oh, and he ended up at Mrs. Frome's?
07:57Boy, that would have been a lose-lose situation.
08:00Rex, that's not the point.
08:02The point is, I don't feel safe,
08:03and I was wondering if you could spend the night.
08:06You're in the NRA.
08:07You own, like, four guns.
08:09If somebody broke in,
08:09I'd expect you to protect me.
08:13Rex, the truth is, with the kids gone,
08:16I'll be all by myself in this house
08:17for the first time in 17 years.
08:20Honey, I know it's hard to hear,
08:21but the marriage counseling might not work out.
08:23You need to get used to being alone.
08:27You're right.
08:28That was hard to hear.
08:34What are you doing?
08:35That is for the kids' trip.
08:37Oh, come on.
08:38I'm staying at a motel.
08:39I haven't had a decent meal in weeks.
08:41Honey, the marriage counseling might not work out.
08:44You need to get used to bad cooking.
08:50Hey.
08:52Screwdriver girl.
08:56I just came by to tell you
08:57that I took your evidence into the lab for fingerprints.
09:00Oh, really?
09:00That's great.
09:01So I'll call you if I hear something.
09:02Okay.
09:03Oh!
09:04Sorry.
09:05Thanks.
09:06Um, actually,
09:07I'd like to call you anyway,
09:09if that's okay.
09:10Oh!
09:12You seem like a really sweet guy
09:14and an interesting line of work,
09:16but I am not really available.
09:19Oh.
09:19Oh.
09:20You have a boyfriend?
09:21Yeah.
09:22Sort of.
09:23Sort of.
09:24It's hard to explain.
09:26Even to myself.
09:3010-4, I'm on my way.
09:32I gotta go.
09:32Apparently there's a hostage situation.
09:34Oh, wow.
09:36So you're really turning me down.
09:37Boy, my self-esteem can't take this.
09:40I'm sorry.
09:41No, it's just now my ability to help those hostages
09:44has been compromised.
09:46Still, don't blame yourself for what might happen.
09:49Blame myself?
09:50Well, it's just hard to rescue folks
09:52when you don't feel good about yourself.
09:54Ah.
09:55Probably I'll die anyway.
09:57Okay, fine.
09:58I'll go out with you.
10:00Great.
10:00I'll call you.
10:01Now that you've gotten your date,
10:02you can tell me what that really means,
10:04that 907A.
10:05Someone's TV was playing too loud.
10:07Well, thank God for the thin blue line.
10:10I'll call you.
10:13Oh!
10:14Oh!
10:19How's my aunt, Tanchita?
10:20What's up?
10:21I'll be outside doing my yoga.
10:23Look, Mom, sit.
10:25I'll be right back.
10:30Do you have to do that now?
10:31My mother's here.
10:32Hey, I'm not going to stop my life
10:33just because she decides to show up unannounced,
10:35I might add.
10:35She's family.
10:36She doesn't need an invitation.
10:38Yeah, well, whatever.
10:38It's rude.
10:40Shh.
10:43It's real pretty, Mama.
10:46You were always good with your hands.
10:47So, mijo,
10:48I assume you didn't insist
10:50that I traveled 2,000 miles for a small town.
10:52So why am I here?
10:58She...
11:01isn't happy.
11:03Uh-huh.
11:05I've given her everything she ever wanted,
11:06but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
11:08I feel her drifting further and further away.
11:13And lately,
11:14I've started thinking that maybe...
11:16So you think she's cheating on you?
11:22I think so.
11:32We can talk about your problems,
11:33but I'm not going to have any of that.
11:35Olliste.
11:36Si.
11:39Do you have any proof?
11:42No, it's...
11:42it's just a feeling.
11:44I had that feeling with your father
11:45and that whore waitress.
11:47And I was right.
11:49Always trust your feelings.
11:50So what do I do?
11:51You don't do anything.
11:53I'll take care of it.
11:55Thank you, Mama.
11:56I'm sorry I had to hit you.
11:57But we're strong people,
11:59and we don't cry about our problems.
12:06We find ways to fix something.
12:14While the residents of Wisteria Lane
12:16kept up their patrols
12:17in an effort to prevent future break-ins,
12:20Lynette hatched a plan
12:21to break her children
12:22into Barcliff Academy.
12:24Boys?
12:26Wake up!
12:28Come on.
12:29We're going to have some fun today.
12:32Come on.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Hey.
12:35Hi.
12:38Come on.
12:39I'm not leaving.
12:41Come on.
12:44Go, go, go.
12:46Come on.
12:46Yes, yes.
12:47Let's do it.
12:48Let's do it.
12:49Let's do it.
12:50Let's do it.
12:50Let's do it.
12:50Let's do it.
12:51Let's do it.
12:51Let's do it.
12:54Hey, I can still see your head.
12:57The pool's not deep enough.
13:00Are your boys usually so docile?
13:05They're always a little shy at first.
13:10Look at that concentration.
13:12Porter loves his puzzles.
13:14Hmm.
13:26Mama, I'll be right back.
13:27I'm going to the store.
13:33Come on.
13:36I'm coming with you.
13:38I want to make some tamales for Carters.
13:40I want to make some tamales for Carters.
13:40No, no, Juanita, I'm not going to the supermarket.
13:42I'm going to the lingerie store.
13:44Good.
13:44I need some Ross.
13:45I'm going to be a while.
13:46And I might get a facial.
13:48I have a face.
13:54Hey, Mike.
13:54Hey, how's it going?
13:55How's it going?
13:55Good, good.
13:56Just came by to say hello.
13:58Hello.
14:00So you remember the cop from the neighborhood watch meeting?
14:03He agreed to run a fingerprint check on the screwdriver I found at Mrs. Brom's house.
14:08You did?
14:09Nothing was taken?
14:10Still somebody broke in.
14:12It is a crime.
14:13So the weird thing is, the cop asked me out on a date.
14:18Oh?
14:19And I sort of said, yes.
14:22I was just curious what you thought about that.
14:26You're asking my permission to go home in it?
14:29No.
14:30No, I just was wondering your opinion.
14:35I don't really have one.
14:39Okay.
14:41Great.
14:42Fine.
14:46Susan, wait.
14:47Wait, I'm sorry.
14:51My life is just really complicated right now.
14:56You don't have to explain.
14:58Susan.
14:59It's complicated.
15:00I get it.
15:09Paul?
15:11Paul?
15:14Oh.
15:15Hi, Zachary.
15:16I'm sorry.
15:16The door was open and...
15:17It's okay.
15:18You can come in.
15:20Is your father here?
15:22We were scheduled to do a patrol today.
15:24We had to go out of town.
15:25Again.
15:27Oh.
15:28Oh.
15:29Well, I guess I can do it by myself.
15:34Wow.
15:35This place is just immaculate.
15:38What?
15:38My mom liked things clean.
15:40Zach, she would be very proud of you.
15:43What happened to your varnish?
15:46That's where my mother died.
15:47I messed up the floor trying to get out the blood.
15:51Oh.
15:53I'll let my dad know that you stopped by.
15:56Okay.
16:01Zach, do you have plans for dinner?
16:11So you shop a lot, huh?
16:13Yeah.
16:14So?
16:15Most women that shop a lot is because they don't have anything better to do.
16:19What's your point?
16:20Well, if you had children...
16:22Here we go.
16:23I'm just saying that children give your life a purpose.
16:26You get so busy taking care of them that you don't have any time to wonder if you're happy.
16:30You know, Juanita, this is so like you.
16:32I invite you on a nice shopping trip and you find ways to upset me.
16:35Oh, you didn't invite me.
16:36I invited myself.
16:39You keep looking at your watch.
16:41Is there some place you have to be?
16:43No!
16:44You know, for the record, I am not one of those women who has a hole in her heart that
16:47can only be filled by a baby.
16:48I like my life a lot.
16:50It's very fulfilling.
16:52Excuse my daughter-in-law.
16:53She's very fulfilled.
16:56So he just blew you off?
16:58I told him another man asked me out.
17:00It was the perfect opportunity for Mike to be jealous of nothing.
17:03Did you bat your eyes?
17:05You know, it doesn't work if you don't bat your eyes.
17:07Honey, I batted everything that wasn't nailed down.
17:08I'm telling you, nothing.
17:10Oh, thanks.
17:11So what's going on there?
17:16Boofers.
17:17Wow.
17:18Listen, I'm sorry about Mike.
17:20I know how much you like him.
17:21Oh, maybe it's my fault.
17:22Maybe I just imagined an entire relationship with this man that didn't exist.
17:26There has been flirting.
17:27I have seen it.
17:27Yeah, and the flirting made me think that he was kind and trustworthy and honest and hygienic.
17:35That's how it is with me.
17:36A guy just smiles at me three times and I'm picking out wedding china.
17:39I'm a mess.
17:40But to be fair, that's part of your charm.
17:42That's what happened with Carl.
17:43I only dated him a couple of months.
17:45I filled in the blanks.
17:46I married him.
17:46It was a disaster.
17:48You think Mike is a Carl in disguise?
17:50I don't know.
17:51What does that mean anyway?
17:52My life is complicated.
18:01I wanted to sit around and wait for nothing.
18:03I could do it on the can.
18:04You're late.
18:06What's with the face?
18:07I screwed up.
18:08I broke into the Fromm house and almost got caught.
18:11What's almost?
18:12I accidentally left something behind with my prints on it.
18:15Did you have hair of gloves?
18:16It's the suburbs.
18:17I didn't think it'd matter.
18:19Anyway, the police are running a check and I'm in the system.
18:22I gotta pull up stakes before they come looking for me.
18:27That's a sweet sound.
18:29Laughter like that, huh?
18:31Pisses me off.
18:34If and when your cover is blown, you disappear.
18:37Until then, you keep fixing the neighbor's pipes.
18:41The more time I spend in this town, the more I think we're making a mistake.
18:44These are nice people.
18:45My money says one of them isn't.
18:47Ho!
18:50Thanks.
18:57No more screw-ups.
19:15Getting something to drink.
19:16Do you want something?
19:35Look, don't be mad.
19:36I waited at that motel for three hours for you.
19:39I had these a month's worth of lunch money to pay for that room.
19:42It's not my fault.
19:44Juanita hasn't let me out of her sight since she's gotten here.
19:46Really?
19:46Well, I don't see her now.
19:47She's watching her Mexican soap opera.
19:50The rebel's virgin daughter is about to be seduced by the escaped desperado.
19:54So until she puts out, Juanita won't even know that I'm gone.
20:01Come on, I said I was sorry.
20:03You know, just so you know, I've turned down half the pep squad for you.
20:07You can't be serious.
20:08Well, you know, I'm starting to think that maybe I should be with someone my own age.
20:13Well, I thought teenage girls bored you, John.
20:16I thought what we had was beyond that.
20:18So did I.
20:20So then why do you want to go back to something you don't want?
20:22I don't know.
20:24Maybe you're tired of me.
20:25No.
20:26I want to be with you.
20:27Then why are we arguing?
20:31Damn it.
20:32The virgin gave it up already?
20:34I want you so bad.
20:35When can I see you again?
20:37Tomorrow.
20:38Meet me at the front entrance of the mall after school.
20:39What about your mother-in-law?
20:40Don't worry.
20:41I'll think of something.
20:43Tommy!
20:44Tommy!
20:46Tommy!
20:48A donation?
20:49Now Barcliffe wants a donation?
20:51Apparently, we're in competition with one other family.
20:54A generous donation will ensure our kids beat them out.
20:57How generous?
20:59$15,000.
21:00We don't have that.
21:01And that's what I told him.
21:02So what do we do?
21:04Look, public school is out unless we move to a new district.
21:08We're not moving.
21:12Maybe it's time that we look into homeschooling.
21:16I know you did not just say that.
21:18Honey, it's got its advantages.
21:20You know, kids in homeschool do better in their later years.
21:22They won't make it to their later years if I have to spend all day with them.
21:25Honey, sometimes you just, you know, got to make the sacrifice.
21:28It's probably the best thing for the kids.
21:31Why don't we just put them back in me and cook them until they're civilized?
21:34You'd be cool with that?
21:39I've never had plum pudding before.
21:41I'm serving it this year for Christmas.
21:43I like to try out new recipes before the actual holiday.
21:46That way, if the cookbook's gotten it wrong, I can fix it.
21:50You must really like Christmas.
21:52You and Mr. Vandycamp always have the best decorations on your lawn.
21:55I adore the holidays.
21:57I never get depressed if there's a beautifully decorated tree to look at.
22:00My mom and I would always decorate our tree together.
22:03Because Christmas is going to be weird.
22:06Oh, Zach.
22:08You know, my mother died when I was young.
22:11She was hit by a car.
22:13Oh.
22:14It was, um, right before Christmas, as a matter of fact.
22:18We were all singing carols and the dog was howling because everybody in my family sings off key.
22:24Except for me.
22:25Anyway, it was just a terrible ruckus.
22:28So, well, no one noticed when my mother went across the street to give the neighbors a gift.
22:33And the next thing we heard were brakes screeching.
22:39Wow.
22:40Most of my family went to the hospital, but I stayed home because I was so young.
22:46When I looked out the window, I saw all of my mother's blood on the street.
22:50And nobody was doing anything about it.
22:52So I got a hose.
22:54And I washed it off.
22:57And once it was clean, I felt so much better.
23:03Never told anyone that story before.
23:06Those are the most interesting ones.
23:08The stories that we never tell anyone.
23:10Yeah, you're probably right.
23:13I have one.
23:15It's more of a secret, really.
23:19I know why my mom killed herself.
23:22You do?
23:24It was something I did.
23:26Something bad.
23:32What did you do, Zach?
23:35Zach!
23:36Sweetheart!
23:36No!
23:37I should...
23:37I...
23:37I better not.
23:38I shouldn't have said anything.
23:39I shouldn't...
23:40I...
23:40I shouldn't have done this.
23:41I'm sorry.
23:41If my dad found out...
23:42I won't tell your father.
23:43No, please.
23:43I just...
23:43I can't get you...
23:44Zachary!
23:45It's all right!
23:52I can't believe Zach said that.
23:54What else did he tell you?
23:55That was it.
23:55It was that Mary Alice killed herself because of something that he had done.
23:59You couldn't get any more out of him?
24:00Oh, I tried.
24:00But he was so nervous, he actually started shaking, and then he just left.
24:04Okay, this is getting really weird.
24:05I think we should go to the police.
24:07And tell them what?
24:07We don't even have the note anymore.
24:09We gave it to Paul.
24:10Then you're gonna have to get Zach to tell you something so we have more to go on.
24:13Girls, you don't understand.
24:14This poor kid is scared out of his mind.
24:16Oh, for God's sakes, Brie, you're a woman.
24:18Manipulate him.
24:19That's what we do.
24:20But how?
24:21I don't know.
24:21How did you usually manipulate Rex?
24:27Hello, Zachary.
24:29Are you free for dinner tonight?
24:31Sure.
24:32Oh, good, because last night you put me in such a holiday mood.
24:36So I'm gonna make roast turkey and candied yams and eggnog.
24:40Have you ever had real old-fashioned eggnog?
24:43No, I don't think so.
24:45Oh, you are gonna love it.
24:46It has quite a kick.
24:49Oh, he scores!
24:51All right, Preston!
24:53Boys, could you just not...
24:54Ah!
24:56What the hell?
24:58Hey, I'm good.
25:00Lynette was desperate to avoid homeschooling,
25:03but she saw no options on the horizon.
25:05Until a solution sailed into view.
25:10Gabriel, please.
25:12You bought me enough things.
25:14You're the one that's supposed to be shopping.
25:15Oh, Mama, you're in a rut.
25:17We need to spice up your wardrobe.
25:19Oh, here.
25:20Try this one on.
25:21Go on, try it on.
25:26Mama Solis, how you doing in there?
25:28Is it supposed to be so tight?
25:30Yes, it's form-fitting.
25:32You're gonna look great.
25:33Gabriel, I don't think this dress is right for me.
25:35I can't breathe.
25:38Well, maybe I made a mistake.
25:41While you change,
25:42I'm gonna make a quick run to the bookstore.
25:45Gabriel, wait!
25:45Wait, I'm coming with you!
25:47No, no, no.
25:47Just be a minute.
25:48Wait, Gabriel, I'm coming with you!
25:56Wait!
25:57Gabriel, wait!
26:02Ma'am?
26:04Ma'am?
26:05Sorry.
26:06I'm gonna need to look in your bags, please.
26:08Fine, just hurry up.
26:14Right on top.
26:17I'm telling you,
26:18I don't know where that blouse came from.
26:20Security!
26:21All right, keep your stupid blouse.
26:23I'm gonna have to find my daughter and I'll...
26:24Don't touch me!
26:25Don't you dare touch me!
26:27Ma'am, you're gonna have to come with us!
26:28Get your hands at me!
26:29Gabriel!
26:39Hello?
26:41Hey, it's me.
26:42Oh, hi, Rex.
26:43How are you?
26:44Is something wrong?
26:45Well, I was just about to grab dinner
26:47from the motel vending machine
26:48and it occurred to me,
26:49what the heck, I'll go out.
26:51Would you like to have dinner with me?
26:58Mrs. Vandy Camp.
27:00Guess what?
27:01I found all my mom's old Christmas stuff.
27:03Oh.
27:04Sweetie, I was just coming over to talk to you.
27:06I am so sorry,
27:08but something really important came up
27:09and I have to cancel.
27:10Really?
27:12We will do it again.
27:13We'll have our impromptu holiday dinner.
27:15I promise.
27:18Bye.
27:26I got one, Kelly Hallstatter.
27:28In eighth grade, she used to spit in my gym shoes.
27:31Kelly Hallstatter?
27:34Kelly Hallstatter?
27:35Yeah, look.
27:36Two DUIs, one check kiting
27:38and an open bench warrant.
27:40How tragic.
27:41By which I mean, yay.
27:43Yeah, you've been a really good sport
27:44coming along on the shift with me.
27:46Well, time flies when you're on a stakeout in crack town.
27:49So when does our official date begin?
27:52Well, taxpayers say 20 minutes,
27:54but I say no.
27:58They're down.
27:59Oh, thank you.
28:01Honey, you read up on homeschooling?
28:04Yeah.
28:04Gave me some good ideas.
28:06Well, one, anyway.
28:07Great.
28:08What have you got?
28:09Well, you know how we both agree
28:10that one of us needs to stay home
28:12and parent the kids
28:13and one of us needs to go off and make a living?
28:16And then I suddenly remembered
28:17that when I was working,
28:18I made a little more than you.
28:21What are you doing?
28:22You tossed out that little sacrifice comment
28:25a while ago,
28:26and it occurred to me
28:27I've made sacrifices over the past six years.
28:29I gave up my career.
28:31If another sacrifice has to be made,
28:33I think it's your turn on the mare and go round.
28:35Lynette?
28:35So if I went back to work
28:37and you could stay home
28:38and take care of the kids?
28:39I can't be with the kids all day.
28:40I'd lose my mind.
28:42Uh-huh.
28:43Hey, okay, I get it.
28:44Hey, homeschooling is out.
28:46Out.
28:47How are we going to script together
28:4915 grand for this endowment?
28:51Uh, how, how, how?
28:57Think.
28:58Think real hard.
29:01Oh, no.
29:03Aye, aye.
29:05So, the restaurant's run by this little old guy
29:07named Dara Nello.
29:08He will propose to you.
29:09Don't say yes,
29:10because he's dead serious.
29:12But what if I like him?
29:15Hey.
29:18I thought this went to the lab.
29:22All right.
29:23You got me.
29:24And that means what?
29:25Look, Susan,
29:26no one would authorize lab time
29:28or a computer search for a case like this.
29:30It's just not a priority.
29:32So why couldn't you just tell me that?
29:34Well, I thought we were clicking.
29:36Does this need to be a big deal?
29:38Well, if you'd only lied to me about it once,
29:40it wouldn't be.
29:41All right.
29:42I get it.
29:43You want me to beg.
29:44Okay.
29:44Look at me.
29:45I'm begging.
29:48Come on.
29:48Don't be such a girl about this.
29:51I know who you are.
29:53You're a Carl in disguise.
29:57Done with you.
29:58All of you.
29:59Oh, come on, drama queen.
30:01What are you doing?
30:03Where are you going?
30:04It's not safe.
30:05I'd rather take my chances on the street.
30:07Thank you very much.
30:09Oh, I always pick the psycho.
30:27Excuse me.
30:28I'm lost.
30:29Oh, you best be lost.
30:30This here's my corner.
30:31Oh, yes.
30:32And a lovely corner it is.
30:34And I hate to bother you while you're working.
30:36I just was wondering if you could point me in the direction of a pay phone.
30:40Oh, and if you had some change for this five.
30:44Preferably quarters.
30:45Honey, if I got paid in quarters, I'd be doing something very wrong.
30:49Right.
30:50Okay.
30:55Hey.
30:56You want to use my cell?
30:58I have weekend minutes.
30:59Oh, thank you so much.
31:00You're saving my life.
31:02Oh, excuse me, honey.
31:03Oh, yes.
31:04You do what you've got to do.
31:11Oh, please answer.
31:13Come on.
31:13Pick up, Julie.
31:14Oh, thank God.
31:16Okay, don't ask any questions.
31:17Just get somebody down here to pick me up at the corner of 9th and Foster.
31:21Hey, babe.
31:23No, I'm on a break.
31:25Hurry, please.
31:28Excuse me.
31:30We got a call?
31:31Something about a break-in?
31:32One of your neighbors reported seeing someone forcing his way into your home.
31:35We sent some guys out to investigate and, uh...
31:38What is it?
31:39I got to tell you, ma'am.
31:40I thought I'd seen a lot on the job, but this is something else.
32:10All right, so let me get this straight.
32:12He chopped down one of our pine trees?
32:14I'm afraid so.
32:20Zach, why did you do this?
32:23I don't know.
32:25Take off those handcuffs, please.
32:27Ma'am, you confess to breaking in.
32:29This is not up for discussion.
32:32Go ahead.
32:33I need you to get in.
32:34I need you to get in.
32:35Sir, you can't...
32:38Zach?
32:43Zach?
32:47How's it going?
32:55You okay?
32:56Yeah.
32:57Then how much for a trip around the world?
33:00I cannot believe Julie sent you.
33:02She is soon going to be dead.
33:03Come on, get in.
33:09Wasn't that sent in for Prince?
33:11No.
33:11The cop lied to me.
33:13I don't want to talk about it.
33:15Just asking.
33:19Yes, apparently they found a blouse in her bag.
33:22Oh, I don't know, Carlos.
33:23At some point, older people started to get confused.
33:26She probably thought she paid for it.
33:29No, no charges.
33:31Everything's fine.
33:32Okay, I'll tell her.
33:34Bye.
33:37Mama Solis, Carlos is going to be late for dinner.
33:39It's just the two of us.
33:40What would you like to eat?
33:41Oh, I'm not hungry.
33:43Okay, suit yourself.
33:45Don't go yet.
33:47I need to talk to you.
33:51It's important.
33:53Please.
33:58I married Diego Solis when I was 16 years old.
34:02A few months into our marriage,
34:03he started to beat me.
34:06I was so young and stupid,
34:07I didn't know what to do.
34:09Juanita, I had no idea.
34:11It got so bad that I started praying to God
34:13to let me die.
34:15But God, in his infinite wisdom,
34:17gave me a reason to live.
34:19Carlos.
34:21Ah, he was a beautiful baby.
34:24But my husband wasn't much of a father.
34:26He never held him.
34:27He would yell and scream at him
34:29for no reason at all.
34:30One night, when Carlos was four,
34:32Diego Solis came home,
34:34drunk,
34:35and he beat my Carlos.
34:38Something inside me snapped.
34:41And at that moment,
34:42I found a way to be strong.
34:45So, I made sure
34:46that Diego Solis
34:48never hurt my son
34:50or me ever again.
34:53What'd you do?
34:54Well, if you pray hard enough,
34:57God gives you the tools
34:58to your salvation.
35:07Carlos said that his father
35:09left for a waitress in El Paso.
35:11That's what he was told.
35:14All mothers know
35:15they have to protect
35:15their children.
35:17But some of us
35:18take our job
35:19more seriously than others.
35:21I don't know
35:22why you're telling me this.
35:25I think you do.
35:44Okay, I know
35:45you're mad at me
35:46and I'm sorry
35:47I didn't stop you
35:48from going out with that guy.
35:49I'm not mad at you.
35:50I mean, I'm not just mad at you.
35:51I'm mostly mad at myself.
35:53Okay.
35:54I'm mad that I like you so much
35:56without really knowing
35:56anything about you.
35:58Oh.
36:00What do you want to know?
36:02What's your favorite food?
36:04Mexican.
36:06What's your favorite sport?
36:07Football.
36:08Favorite band?
36:09Elvis Costello.
36:10That's a guy, not a band.
36:11It's a guy with a band.
36:16What do you think of me?
36:39I'm sorry.
36:40Could you repeat that?
36:46Why?
36:47I don't want to talk about it.
36:48You realize how insane this looks?
36:49Do you even care about me
36:50at all that you even care about long?
36:52I'm not talking to you that way.
36:53I think I just did.
37:02Mrs. Vandycamp.
37:03Hi, Zach.
37:04I just wanted to see
37:05if everything was all right.
37:07Everything's fine.
37:08Are you sure?
37:09Yes.
37:12Well, okay.
37:14I'll see you tomorrow then.
37:16I'm sure that you will.
37:28People by their very nature
37:30are always on the lookout
37:32for intruders.
37:33What the?
37:34You being...
37:35Trying to prevent those
37:36on the outside
37:37from getting in.
37:40But there will always be those
37:42who force their way
37:43into our lives,
37:44just as there will be those
37:46we invite in.
38:01But the most troubling of all
38:03will be the ones
38:04who stand on the outside
38:06looking in.
38:09The ones we never truly
38:11get to know.
