00:00My name is Mary Alice Young, and before I died, my life was filled with love, laughter, friendship, and sadly,
00:09secrets.
00:13The secrets had begun 15 years earlier when my name was Angela Forrest, and I was living a life of
00:20quiet desperation.
00:23I'd feel it every morning as I made breakfast for my husband.
00:27If you could stop by the market today, that would be great. I'm out of shaving cream.
00:30And during the errands I ran in the afternoons.
00:33It's Friday's double coupon day. You'll save a bunch of come on Fridays.
00:36Even at my work every evening.
00:38What a lovely calendar. Was this taken around here?
00:41Oh, no, that's way out in Fairview. I have family there. Isn't it idyllic?
00:47Here, Angela, you can file this.
00:51To me, each day was gray and meaningless.
00:57And then one night, suddenly...
01:00Hey, Angela.
01:01...there was color.
01:03Deirdre!
01:05What are you doing here?
01:07I need some money.
01:13Deirdre?
01:14Here.
01:21You're using it again, aren't you?
01:22No.
01:23I just, um...
01:24I just gotta get some food for my baby.
01:26Some other stuff.
01:27If the baby's hungry, we can go to the market and I'll buy food.
01:30I can shop for my own baby.
01:32Okay.
01:34Quiet.
01:34I can't think.
01:36Look, see this watch?
01:38It's worth a lot.
01:39I'll give it to you for 50 bucks.
01:40She's not giving me money.
01:41Do you mind?
01:44Angela, you're the only one at rehab who treated me like a person.
01:48Please, please don't stop now.
01:52I'm sorry.
01:57I'll sell you my baby.
02:02What?
02:03I heard you talking and I know you can't have your own.
02:06It's been killing you.
02:08It's time that you left.
02:09No, I'm thinking about Dana.
02:10You'll give him a good home.
02:11Okay?
02:12He'll be better off.
02:14Okay?
02:14Shh.
02:15Quiet, quiet.
02:19Honey.
02:25How much money do you keep in the house?
02:40She has a 10-month-old baby.
02:42Where the hell is it?
02:43I don't know.
02:44If we'd seen the kid, we certainly wouldn't have left it sitting in the middle of a crack house.
02:47If anything happens to that child, I will have your bed.
02:49Just let me do my job, huh?
02:51We'll post an officer at the junkie's bedside.
02:53She wakes up and let her tell us where she left her kid.
03:23I really do hope you folks
03:25will be happy here in Fairview.
03:28And we were...
03:29Breathe bye, Zach.
03:30Breathe bye-bye.
03:32We were as happy as any family could be.
03:39Until one night,
03:42three years later,
03:45when there was a knock at our door.
03:52And I was desperate once again.
03:56It was five o'clock in the morning on Wisteria Lane when the phone calls started.
04:01Of course, each of them knew something was wrong from that first ring.
04:05Hello?
04:08After all, it's one of the unwritten rules of suburbia.
04:12Hello?
04:14Don't call the neighbors in the middle of the night.
04:17Unless the news is bad.
04:20Huh?
04:21And so they came.
04:23With their uncombed hair and their unmade faces.
04:27They came because...
04:29After all these years...
04:31Three.
04:32They were no longer just neighbors.
04:37What are you doing here?
04:39We heard Rex had a heart attack.
04:41How is he?
04:42Um, he's stable.
04:45But, um, they have to put in a pacemaker,
04:48so they're gonna need to operate.
04:50How did you guys...
04:51Daniel called.
04:53So how are you doing?
04:55We were having a fight when he got the heart attack,
04:59and I'm just feeling really guilty
05:01because I should have gotten him here sooner, and...
05:03Honey, the doctors here are great.
05:05Yeah, and he's so young, he's gonna bounce right back.
05:07I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
05:09You know what?
05:10I am so happy that you guys came here.
05:13I really am, but I am trying really hard to be strong,
05:15so if you keep comforting me, you're gonna lose it.
05:18Mm-hmm.
05:19Okay.
05:19Then we won't comfort you.
05:21We're just gonna talk about non-crisis things.
05:29Oh, I know.
05:31Uh, I found Mrs. Hooper's journal in some of Mike's stuff,
05:34and I think she knew Mary Alice's secret
05:36and was blackmailing her.
05:40Yep, that'll do it.
05:44Zachary, come back here, please.
05:55Your father told you he would be gone for a while.
05:57He said you should let me look after you.
05:58I will be fine by myself.
06:00I am not a child.
06:06I know you're not a child, but I think we should discuss this.
06:09I'm fine, Ruby.
06:11Why should you fend for yourself when you can just come home with me?
06:15Let me shoulder the burden.
06:17It would really be my pleasure.
06:18Shut up!
06:18What kind of freak are you?
06:19Just leave me alone, all right?
06:20You are not my mother.
06:22I told you that I'm fine.
06:23Now stop acting like my mother and go home.
06:26I wish it were that easy, Zachary, for your sake.
06:29But it's not.
06:31Your father's not coming back.
06:33He said that he was.
06:35He lied.
06:36I wanted to spare you this, but your father and I discussed it,
06:41and he decided that he shouldn't come back.
06:47Now, get your bag, and let's go home.
06:54I'm going to make you some pudding.
07:07What did you do to my dad?
07:10Tell me!
07:13Mrs. Applewhite?
07:15Yes?
07:16Hi, I'm Yadie Britt.
07:19The realtor that helped you buy this house?
07:21Oh, of course.
07:22Hi.
07:23Hi.
07:24I've been so curious to meet you.
07:26Really?
07:27Why?
07:29It's just that I've never sold a house over the phone before.
07:33You're awfully brave buying a place sight unseen.
07:37Not really.
07:37We could tell from the advertisement it was just what we were looking for.
07:41This is my son, Matthew.
07:43It's nice to meet you, ma'am.
07:44Please.
07:45Call me Edie.
07:46Ma'am's for middle-aged women.
07:50Like her.
07:53You can call her ma'am anytime you want.
07:56So, are you two finding everything okay?
07:59Because we didn't do our realtor's walkthrough.
08:01Everything is fine.
08:03Oh, honey, escrow's closed.
08:05Now I can show you where to put the buckets when the rain comes.
08:09Edie, the house is fine.
08:12But how lovely of you to stop by.
08:15Oh, okay.
08:18Here is my card.
08:20Call.
08:21Anytime you want.
08:25Bye.
08:34People are very friendly in this neighborhood.
08:37Yes.
08:38Yes, they are.
08:42Mike, hi, sweetie.
08:43I hope the job's going well.
08:44Um, so, I hope you're not mad, but I found Mrs. Hooper's journal in your truck.
08:51And, well, I couldn't exactly not read it, so I did.
08:53And, um, I know all about the blackmail, so call me.
08:57We'll talk.
08:58Love you.
08:58Bye.
09:00I haven't heard back, and I was getting a little concerned.
09:03Uh, the girls and I were talking, and we think that maybe Paul Young killed Mrs. Hooper.
09:07And if he did, then maybe he killed your old girlfriend, too.
09:10So, we should really talk about this, so call me.
09:12I love you.
09:13Bye.
09:13I thought the whole point of having a cell phone was so someone could reach you when they needed to
09:17talk.
09:18How can we move forward as a couple if you won't communicate with me?
09:21Mike, I need you to call me back.
09:23I mean it.
09:24Love you.
09:25Bye.
09:27I'm so sorry for that last phone call.
09:30Um, let's just say it was the worry talking.
09:33I just really need to talk to you, and, uh, can you hang on?
09:37I got another call.
09:39Hello?
09:40Hey, it's me.
09:41Oh, my God.
09:42Where have you been?
09:44Uh, the reception's pretty lousy up here, but I got your messages.
09:46Well, I'm really sorry for that last message.
09:49I was just, uh...
09:50Stressed out?
09:51Yes, let's call it stressed out.
09:54Uh...
09:55So how did you get Martha Hoover's journal?
09:58Oh, um, her sister, Mrs. Tillman, gave it to me.
10:01She was helping me with my search.
10:04I just really think we need to give it to the police.
10:08Uh, yeah.
10:10Yeah, absolutely.
10:12Really?
10:13Sure.
10:13Yeah, uh, as soon as I get through with this job, we'll make an appointment with that detective.
10:17What's his name?
10:17Uh, Copeland.
10:18Great.
10:20That's great.
10:20All right, so I'll, um, see you in a few hours.
10:23Okay, hurry, though.
10:25I just have a feeling that Paul Young is in the middle of all of this.
10:28Well, let's not rush to judgment.
10:48What are you doing here?
10:49I'm here to testify for you, Carlos.
10:51Can you take those off?
10:53Yes, ma'am.
10:53There's no way I'm dressing him.
10:57Oh, Gabby.
10:59Thank God you're doing this.
11:02Beating up a second gay guy?
11:04It looks bad.
11:05Yes, well, Carlos, in some circles, beating people up at all is frowned upon.
11:10So why'd you change your mind?
11:12Well, I'm about to be the mother of your child, which means a lot of responsibility and little
11:17time for myself.
11:18So if I'm going to get you out of this mess, you have to reciprocate.
11:21Okay.
11:22When the baby cries in the middle of the night, you're going to get up without saying one word.
11:28Doctor's appointments?
11:29You're driving.
11:30I'm not putting a car seat in my Maserati.
11:33And you will also be on bottle duty.
11:35That means washing, sterilizing, and filling.
11:38That way I'll have some semblance of a life, and then maybe I won't hate you so much.
11:44All right.
11:44There we go.
11:46So we're good?
11:49See you in court.
11:50Hey, Gabby.
11:53Aren't we breastfeeding?
11:54No, honey.
11:55If you can swing that one, more power to you.
12:02Can I find any old pizza?
12:04You can, honey, if you can pay for it.
12:06Yeah!
12:07That is 19, 19, 19 zip.
12:11Bring it.
12:12Just stay here with Penny for a second, okay?
12:16Tom!
12:18Yes!
12:18In your face!
12:20That is 20 zip game.
12:21Out!
12:23Tom, what are you doing?
12:24I'm playing air hockey.
12:25What's it look like?
12:26Kevin, you're up.
12:27Well, it's the middle of the day, and shouldn't you be at work?
12:30No.
12:31I quit.
12:33He did not.
12:35Yes.
12:36Yesterday, I told Peterson he could stick it.
12:38Dude!
12:39You're not bringing it, Kevin.
12:40Bring it.
12:41Could you talk to me for a second?
12:42I don't understand.
12:44What?
12:45You asked Peterson's wife to make sure he wouldn't promote me.
12:48So he gives a huge promotion to Annabelle.
12:50So I quit.
12:54What don't you understand?
12:58Okay.
13:01Can we go home and talk about this, please?
13:04No, we can't.
13:05Serve it up, meat!
13:08Just gonna stay here and play games all day?
13:11No, I'm gonna go and get some ice cream, and then I'm gonna go to the lake, maybe rent a
13:16boat,
13:17do whatever it is I feel like.
13:20Tom.
13:20Go home, Lynette.
13:21Go home before I say something I regret.
13:23Go home.
13:28All right, you.
13:31You score this next point.
13:33You get your bike back.
13:44What are you thinking about?
13:46Oh, I was just, um, thinking that I need to start spring cleaning.
13:52You haven't done that yet?
13:53No, and I need to clean out our rain gutters and, uh, beneath the refrigerator, and I can't
13:57tell you how long it's been since I've replaced the shelf liner, so...
14:00And you'll finish off with our wedding silver.
14:03How did you know that?
14:04See, all those years you didn't think I was paying attention.
14:07But I was.
14:09And do you know why I save it for last?
14:11No.
14:12Because it makes me think of my Aunt Fern.
14:14And the day we got married, I told her how happy I was, and she told me that even during
14:20bad times, to always remember that the best was yet to come.
14:24And so as I polish it, I think about you, and the kids, and our life, and how right she
14:30was.
14:33They're gonna operate on me.
14:35I know.
14:36I want to say some stuff.
14:39Just in case.
14:40Rex, you don't have to say anything.
14:42I'm sorry.
14:44For everything I did.
14:46You know, moving out.
14:48The infidelity, the sex stuff.
14:51Doesn't matter.
14:53From here on in, can we just say that we're even?
15:00Okay.
15:01Thanks.
15:08And for the record?
15:11You are gonna come through this operation just fine.
15:15How can you be so sure?
15:17Because I told you.
15:19The best is yet to come.
15:37So, I'll see you Sunday.
15:38Don't forget to feed Bongo.
15:39Oh, thanks.
15:40I'll go do that now.
15:40Go on in the car, sweetie.
15:42I have to talk to your mom real quick.
15:45So, you're gonna go live in sin with the plumber slash ex-con?
15:49That's funny.
15:50You should mention sin.
15:51I think adultery still falls in that category.
15:54I don't like the idea of this guy being around Julie 24-7.
15:57And he's a good person.
16:01Mike's cool, Dad.
16:02He cares about us a lot.
16:03And I like having him around.
16:04So, don't mess this up.
16:07You heard the girl.
16:11He's still a plumber.
16:29You'd be a good boy, Bongo.
16:31You're gonna go to bed hungry.
16:41Hi, Miss Maya.
16:46Can you sit down, please?
17:13I'm just gonna go get some water.
17:15I'd rather you didn't.
17:25Don't answer it.
17:34I know you're in there, Susan.
17:37I can see you.
17:41If you don't want to talk to me, fine.
17:43At least have the courtesy to hide.
17:52All right.
17:53But don't let her in.
18:00Yee, what a pleasant surprise.
18:02Right.
18:02Is Mike home?
18:04Uh, no.
18:05He's in a big plumbing job.
18:07What's up?
18:07Can I come in?
18:08Why?
18:09I'm warning all the neighbors.
18:10Felicia Tillman was attacked.
18:13She was?
18:14At the young house.
18:15They just took her way in an ambulance.
18:16I'm totally freaked out.
18:18Oh, my guys haven't shown up at the job site yet.
18:21I'm over there all alone.
18:22So, do you think maybe I could just come in and hang out for a while?
18:28Stick it up my...
18:29What?
18:31Just get the hell out of here.
18:34God, you are such a bitch.
18:41Why?
18:42I asked Mrs. Tillman to tell me the truth about my father.
18:45She did.
18:47What'd she say?
18:49Mr. Delfino took my dad away to kill him.
18:51Now I'm going to kill Mr. Delfino.
18:59Your Honor, this whole mess is just a result of my loneliness.
19:05My marriage is a bit strained.
19:07And after Carlos was convicted...
19:09No one's been convicted yet, Mrs. Solis.
19:12This is just a grand jury hearing.
19:13Oh, no, no.
19:14I'm talking about his other crime.
19:16Oh.
19:17Right.
19:19Go ahead.
19:21Anyways, he was placed under house arrest.
19:23And he, being the jealous man that he is,
19:25got a little crazy every time I left the house.
19:27Carlos, he knows how men look at me.
19:30And while I, I didn't exactly ease his mind,
19:37I falsely led him to believe I was having an affair.
19:42And, and before Carlos' house arrest,
19:44he was always working and he was never with me.
19:46And I thought that maybe if he believed I was having an affair,
19:51he would realize he loved me.
19:53And I know it sounds stupid.
19:54I do.
19:55I just...
19:56Is there a point to this?
19:58My point is that Carlos is an angry, jealous Neanderthal.
20:05But he's not a gay basher.
20:08All right.
20:09I've heard enough.
20:10Counsel, approach.
20:13I gotta be honest.
20:14I don't think we have a hate crime here.
20:28Just so you know,
20:29you beat up the wrong guy.
20:31Didn't you think it was strange
20:32that you had the only lawn on Wisteria land
20:34that needed to be mowed three times a week?
20:41I don't know.
20:48You are so dead.
20:52You are so dead.
20:54Order!
20:54Dead!
20:55What the hell?
20:56He's doing it again!
20:57Dead!
20:58He's going up to the table!
20:59Hey!
21:00For God's sake!
21:01Somebody stop him!
21:03Stop it!
21:03Stop it!
21:05We will have order!
21:06Kill you!
21:07I'm going to kill you!
21:09I'm going to kill you!
21:11Order!
21:13Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated.
21:15We will have order.
21:50I'm not trying to justify anything.
21:51I don't know how you knew Martha Huber, but she ruined lives.
21:54For fun!
21:55She destroyed my family.
21:57It's not about her.
21:58I don't understand.
22:00Walk.
22:07Remember when we first tested you?
22:09Your potassium level was a bit high.
22:12Yes, you made me stop eating bananas.
22:14But as we've continued testing, it's kept climbing.
22:17We've now run an entire battery of tests,
22:19and your kidney function is fine.
22:22It has to be something you're ingesting.
22:25Let me see.
22:33These numbers can't be right.
22:36Who prepares your meals?
22:45Bree?
22:46I understand you've been having some marital problems.
22:55Wait a minute.
22:56Wasn't there also an incident at a salad bar?
22:58She gave you onions when she knew you were allergic.
23:03That was an accident.
23:05You're getting this potassium from somewhere.
23:09Get out.
23:10Rex.
23:11I mean it.
23:13Get out.
23:19Leave the chart.
23:22I want to read it.
23:24I want to read it.
23:56So did you have a fun day?
24:00As a matter of fact, I did.
24:04Probably had the most fun that I have had in a long time.
24:08You know, I didn't tell you to quit.
24:10No.
24:11No, no, no.
24:13You made damn sure that I'd go nowhere for the next 20 years.
24:20I don't know what to say.
24:22I hear police forgive me is popular.
24:24Yes.
24:25I am sorry.
24:26I am so, so sorry.
24:28I didn't want to hurt you.
24:29But I was trying to protect our family.
24:32If you got a promotion, we never would have seen you.
24:35You would have been traveling all the time.
24:37Lynette, Lynette, Lynette.
24:38You're right.
24:39You're right.
24:41That promotion would have just killed us.
24:43So this is going to all work out.
24:49What does that mean?
24:51It means that I can use the break.
24:55Oh, well, yeah.
24:56I think it would be good for you to take some time off.
24:59No, no.
24:59Not some time.
25:00Full time.
25:01I'm going to be a stay-at-home dad.
25:04Huh?
25:05What the heck?
25:06You earned a living for a while.
25:09Tom, that's...
25:11crazy.
25:12Why?
25:12Why is it crazy?
25:13You and I both know that you're better at the ad game.
25:16And you tell me all the time how hard it is to be a mom.
25:19Well, yes, yes.
25:20It is hard.
25:21But I love it, too.
25:22And I've been doing it for six years.
25:24And I haven't complained the entire time.
25:27Fair enough.
25:28Fair enough.
25:28But be honest.
25:31Secretly, you miss the ad game, don't you?
25:35I mean, you miss the pressure and the deadlines and the power lunches.
25:40Or am I wrong?
25:42Maybe, maybe you want to sort dirty socks the rest of your life.
25:48We should talk about this seriously before we make any rash decisions.
25:52I already made the decision.
25:54You're going back to work.
26:09Can I at least get you something to eat, Zach?
26:12Maybe a soda.
26:14Thanks.
26:23I gotta say, I think you're making a mistake.
26:26Mike couldn't kill anybody.
26:28I mean...
26:30This could just be a misunderstanding.
26:33This is not a misunderstanding.
26:35Listen, I know you're upset.
26:36But is this really what you think your mother would want you doing?
26:40Probably not.
26:42Exactly.
26:43Because she raised you right.
26:45Look, you have been through a lot.
26:47You've lost your mom.
26:48You're still carrying around the guilt over what happened to your baby sister.
26:52I never had a baby sister.
26:53Honey, I know about Dana.
26:55How stupid are you?
26:57I'm Dana.
26:58My mother was some junkie.
26:59They stole me and changed my name.
27:01They have been lying to me my entire life.
27:05Everyone lies to me.
27:06My mother, my father, Mrs. Tillman, even Julie.
27:09Do you understand how much that hurts?
27:11Look, Zach.
27:14I know you're upset.
27:15Let's just sit down and talk.
27:17Why?
27:18So you can lie to me also?
27:19No!
27:25No more talking.
27:49No.
27:49No.
28:18No more.
28:19No more.
28:19I'm at the hospital, and I'm afraid I have some bad news.
28:23Oh?
28:24Rex passed away about ten minutes ago.
28:35But his operation, it's not until tomorrow.
28:38I know. He just didn't make it.
28:42I'm so sorry. We did everything we could.
28:50Yes, of course you did. Well, thank you very much for calling.
29:28Thank you very much.
30:09Thank you very much.
30:43you know what you're doing? You ever actually had to kill anyone for real before? Yeah.
30:50Oh. Because since you're so tired of walking, let's just do this here.
31:04I don't expect any favors from you, obviously. But could you at least do me the courtesy
31:08of telling me why we're here?
31:19You knew Deirdre? Yeah. And I know what you did to her. She was just a sad girl with a
31:28lot
31:28of problems, and she did some terrible, crazy, selfish stuff. But you tell me what she ever
31:34could have done to deserve death at the hands of somebody like you.
31:40It's complicated. It's so complicated. And just like that, my husband began sharing my secrets.
31:54You want some carrots, Zachary? Secrets I had died to protect.
32:02There you go. We have to get that fence up in the backyard before the pool's finished.
32:09I know.
32:10I'm serious. You know how kids are drawn to water.
32:27Hello, Angela.
32:37You did a good job covering your tracks. I had to spend a lot of my father's money hunting
32:42you down.
32:44Congratulations. You found us.
32:47You know, I never told the police what happened.
32:49You didn't?
32:50They would have put Dana in foster care, or worse, given them to my father.
32:55So I kept our little secret.
33:00Well, we appreciate that.
33:02Anyway, I guess you can see I've gotten myself cleaned up.
33:07Yes, you look lovely.
33:10I'm not the same person you knew back then, Angela.
33:13I'm in a good place now.
33:18You can't have him.
33:20Just because I didn't go to the police before doesn't mean I can't do it now.
33:23Zach is our son.
33:24His name is Dana.
33:25If you think I'm giving my baby to some junkie, you're crazy.
33:28He's not your baby.
33:29Look, just calm down.
33:30You were always so high and mighty back at the clinic, looking down on us, poor degenerates.
33:35Pretending you wanted to help when all you really wanted was to feel superior.
33:38What are you, self-righteous bitch?
33:41You're still using, aren't you?
33:42Go to hell.
33:43What are you doing?
33:44Let me see your arm.
33:44I said I'm clean.
33:45Let me see.
33:46Let's just take it easy.
33:47Where do you think you're going?
33:49I'm getting my son, and I'm taking him home.
33:51Paul, stop her.
33:52Please, come on.
33:54Sit down.
33:55Sit down.
33:57I'll re-raise him.
33:58We're his parents.
34:00Come on.
34:01Come on.
34:01No.
34:02Paul.
34:09Don't worry.
34:11We'll give him a good home.
34:17No.
34:38Oh, Mary Alice.
34:40What did you do?
34:42No.
34:44No.
34:45No.
34:46No.
34:47No.
35:00It's okay, Zach.
35:05Mommy needs to borrow your toy chest.
35:08You go back to sleep, okay?
35:21What are we going to do?
35:24You said they were pouring the concrete for the pool tomorrow.
35:27You can't be serious.
35:28They'll never find her.
35:30We can put her in this.
35:32She won't fit.
35:34Then we'll have to make her fit.
35:37What are you doing?
35:38Checking for track marks.
35:40Please.
36:17Deirdre had a baby?
36:24Let's get this over with.
36:59It's an odd thing to look back on the world, to watch those I left behind, each in her
37:06own way so brave, so determined, and so very desperate.
37:15Desperate to venture out, but afraid of what she'll miss when she goes.
37:22Desperate to get everything she wants, even when she's not exactly sure of what that
37:29is.
37:33Desperate for life to be perfect again, although she realizes it never really was.
37:45Desperate for a better future if she can find a way to escape her past.
37:55I not only watch, I cheer them on, these amazing women.
38:02I hope so much they'll find what they're looking for.
38:09But I know not all of them will.
38:17Sadly, that's just not the way life works.
38:22Not everyone gets a happy ending.
38:27You
