00:05The remarkable thing about Danny Farrell was that he had only been a paperboy for six months.
00:10And in that time, he had become the enemy of every woman on Wisteria Lane.
00:16If there was a puddle on someone's property, he found it.
00:22If a new rosebush had just been planted, he destroyed it.
00:28If a cat was enjoying a moment in the sun, he ended it.
00:37People wondered if Danny would ever change.
00:42They should have talked to Susan Meyer.
00:45She could have told them.
00:48Obnoxious boys tend to become obnoxious men.
00:53Just like the one she had been married to.
01:01Hey!
01:02Carl, I see you!
01:04Just stop right there!
01:06Hey, Susie Q.
01:07What are you doing?
01:09Just getting the paper.
01:10That's Edie's paper.
01:11And this is Edie's house.
01:13Do we have to do this now?
01:14I haven't had my coffee yet.
01:15Did you spend the night with Edie?
01:20Oh, my God.
01:22Susie, just calm down.
01:23You are forbidden from ever seeing her again.
01:25Do you hear me?
01:26Forbidden.
01:27We're divorced.
01:29You can't tell me who I can date.
01:30I live on this street.
01:32Your daughter lives on this street.
01:34I will not have you flaunting your sexcapades in front of us.
01:37Sexcapades?
01:38Forbidden.
01:39I would love to continue this, but it's time for breakfast.
01:42And Edie is making me a frittata.
01:46Well, I just bet she is.
01:54Mrs. Meyer, I gotta talk to you.
01:56Now's not a good time, Danny.
01:58You're a month behind, and you're famous.
01:59I'll take care of it.
02:00I promise.
02:01My dad says if you read something and you don't pay for it, that's the same as stealing.
02:05Hi, Ida.
02:05Can we talk about this later?
02:07I just found out my ex is dating my neighbor, and I'm really ticked off.
02:10Save it.
02:11I provide you with service, and I deserve to be paid for that service.
02:15Yes, the women of Wisteria Lane believed Danny Farrell to be the enemy.
02:20Deadbeat!
02:26They also believed the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
02:34Beautiful lawns, spacious homes, happy families.
02:39These are the hallmarks of suburbia.
02:43But if you look beneath the veneer of gracious living, you will see a battle raging.
02:49A battle for control.
02:52You see the combatants everywhere, engaged in their routine skirmishes.
02:57Fighting fiercely to have dominion over the world around them.
03:01All the while knowing, it's a battle they will lose.
03:06Oh, hey honey, just stick that anywhere, I'll take care of it.
03:09Wow.
03:10It's really piling up.
03:13Oh, don't worry.
03:14I have a system.
03:16Really?
03:17Yeah, every two days I clean.
03:20Two days?
03:22Yeah, I let the mess accumulate for two days, and then I clean until it's sparkling, and then the cycle
03:27starts all over again.
03:28And why have I never seen the sparkling part?
03:33Because by the time you get home from work, the boys have messed everything up again.
03:37See, that's what I would call a flaw in the system.
03:40What are you doing?
03:41I think I'm asking you to clean the house.
03:43Really? Because it sounds to me like you're criticizing me.
03:45No!
03:47No, no, no, no.
03:53I'm not saying it has to be sparkling.
03:55How many times did I come home to a mess and I never said a word?
03:58Please, don't take this the wrong way. I think you are doing a terrific job.
04:02But let's be clear, when you came home, it was to clutter.
04:06I mean, come on, this is more than that.
04:18Look at him, just chatting away. So inconsiderate.
04:22Millis, we've only been waiting here for two minutes.
04:25I told you, when we left the house that we needed to eat, I have low blood sugar.
04:30Do you want to see me keel over?
04:31No, in theory.
04:38By the way, Mrs. van der Kamp, I heard about your husband's passing.
04:43I'm so sorry.
04:44Dr. van der Kamp was one of my favorite customers, truly.
04:47That's very sweet of you, thank you.
04:48I'm not just being polite, Mrs. van der Kamp.
04:51How are you feeling?
04:53Well, Mr. Presby, we are holding up as best we can under the circumstances.
05:00I'm sorry, this is Rex's mother, Phyllis.
05:03I'm so sorry about your son.
05:05You know, the hardest thing is to lose a child.
05:08I can't even imagine.
05:10Come on, Phyllis, let's get you something to eat.
05:12We had no warning.
05:13I was doing dishes when I got the call.
05:17Really?
05:18Phyllis, there are people waiting, so...
05:22Excuse me, I'm so sorry, but my son just passed away.
05:27Oh, I'm so sorry.
05:29I mean, I was telling Mr. Pashmuti here.
05:32My life is...
05:34It's over.
05:37My life is over!
05:42This is ridiculous, you know that?
05:44Pen.
05:45Do you think I have better things to do than to bring you checks every day?
05:48Checks that I could be signing at home?
05:50This one's dry.
05:52You know, taking away my access to our account, it's just vindictive.
05:57Do you know how long it takes me to schlep out here to this hellhole?
06:02That's ridiculous.
06:03You're my husband, I love you.
06:05Obviously, I would come visit.
06:06I thought it was obvious that when you loved someone, you wouldn't have an affair.
06:09I was wrong, wasn't I?
06:11I'm getting really tired of this song, Carlos.
06:14Isn't it about time you forgave me?
06:16You want my forgiveness, you got it.
06:18My trust, that you're gonna have to earn.
06:21Be careful, Carlos.
06:22Up until now, I've been really lonely in that big bed of ours.
06:25When you're rude to me, it makes me want to be not so lonely.
06:28Comments like that are exactly why you'll never again have access to my money.
06:31Why are all rich men jerks?
06:33Same reason all beautiful women are bitches.
06:39So, same time tomorrow?
06:41Sure, baby.
06:47What do you mean you know?
06:48I mean I know.
06:51What are you saying, that your father actually told you he was gonna be having a one night stand with
06:55Edie Britt?
06:56Mom, this wasn't a one night stand.
06:57He's been going out with Mrs. Britt for a few months now.
06:59What?
07:01How could you not tell me that?
07:02We share everything.
07:04That's what we're known for.
07:05That's our thing.
07:06Because I knew you'd wig out.
07:08Besides, haven't you always told me to respect people's privacy?
07:10Oh, I've never applied that concept to your father's sex life and you know it.
07:14Are you done?
07:15No.
07:15I have not even begun ripping into Edie Britt yet.
07:19Oh, that peroxide vulture.
07:21I just know as sure as I am standing here that she went after your father just to tick me
07:26off.
07:27Wrong again.
07:28What?
07:29And he asked her out.
07:30You lie.
07:31It's true.
07:32He called her for a date six months ago, the day after my birthday party.
07:36The one at the piano bar?
07:38Yeah.
07:40What is it?
07:43Oh, your father just came over that day and told me some stuff.
07:48You know, some stuff that I haven't and can't tell you.
07:52Wait.
07:53Whatever happened to you, we share everything.
07:55Isn't that our thing?
07:56What we're known for?
07:58Um, actually I think what we're known for is sharing clothes.
08:01Yeah.
08:02I think that's our thing.
08:07Yeah.
08:21I think that's our thing.
08:32Oh, my God.
08:38Oh, my God.
08:38No.
08:38Oh, my God.
08:39Oh.
08:41Oh.
08:44Oh, my God.
08:55Oh, my God.
09:00Hour after hour, and listen to that.
09:04Well, that's part of mine.
09:20Carlos, what is this big emergency?
09:22I had to cancel my hair appointment with Eduardo today.
09:27Hey, what is it?
09:29I'm completely freaked out.
09:31Why?
09:34There's this guy.
09:36His name's Richie, and he's been saying some stuff to me,
09:39and I'm getting worried.
09:41Honey, you and your macho bride.
09:44Just tell him you're flattered, but you don't swing that way.
09:47He's not hitting on me, you idiot.
09:48He's threatening me.
09:50Really?
09:51How?
09:52He said he's going to beat me up unless I come up with some money.
09:56Well, how much money?
09:57$7,000.
09:58$7,000?
10:00He took his voice down.
10:01Why would he think you have that kind of money?
10:03Because yesterday, in a visiting room filled with criminals, my wife referred to me as a rich man.
10:08Oh, right.
10:10Sorry.
10:11That's why I needed you to bring the checkbook.
10:13He's actually willing to take a check.
10:16No.
10:18You're going to take the money to his girlfriend, and if she doesn't get it by tomorrow, I'm screwed.
10:22Honey, I think this is a mistake.
10:24If we give in to extortion, the guy's just going to keep coming back for more money.
10:28What choice do I have?
10:29You're a strong guy.
10:31You went to college on an athletic scholarship, for God's sakes.
10:34Yeah, it was for golf.
10:44You have all my pants.
10:47Yeah, I know.
10:48Come on in.
10:51I thought when I took my stuff back to my house, I got everything, but...
10:55It's fine.
10:55They're in the garage.
11:01So, how have you been doing?
11:02Good.
11:05Good.
11:08I got a question for you.
11:10Sure, what is it?
11:11Where are we now?
11:12Where are we?
11:13Yeah, we're not moving in together, and we're not broken up.
11:17So, where are we?
11:22I don't know.
11:26Since the guy who held me hostage turned out to be your son,
11:30and logic dictates that I should move on,
11:33the problem is, I'm crazy about you.
11:39So...
11:39So I'm thinking we should keep it casual.
11:43Casual.
11:45What the hell does that mean, exactly?
11:48Casual.
11:52Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with us seeing a movie once in a while.
11:57Movie.
11:58Okay.
11:59Is that it?
12:03Jogging.
12:05There's no law against jogging.
12:08Anything else?
12:11Shopping.
12:12That's casual.
12:12That's fun.
12:14Anything else we can do?
12:16Anything at all?
12:21Brunch.
12:22Brunch would be nice.
12:29Sounds good to me.
12:39All I can do is take it one day at a time.
12:43Yes.
12:46Oh, okay.
12:47Well, thanks so much for calling.
12:53Who's that?
12:55Who's that?
12:55Oh, someone named Alan Hanley.
12:59My electrician?
13:01Why were you on the phone sobbing to my electrician?
13:03Oh, he called to offer you his condolences.
13:06Then why didn't you put me on?
13:08Oh, well, we got to talking and then he had to go.
13:12He had some very beautiful things to say about Rex.
13:18For God's sake, Phyllis, don't you ever worry about dehydration?
13:21Are you saying that I am too emotional?
13:24I am saying that even Italians take a break now and again.
13:27My son is dead.
13:30I'm grieving.
13:31So am I.
13:33But no one would ever know it with your incessant caterwauling.
13:36Brie!
13:37People want to know how I'm doing, but the minute they ask you,
13:40you jump into the spotlight and they forget all about me.
13:44I need consoling too, Phyllis.
13:46Have you ever thought of that?
13:48I'm sorry.
13:51It won't happen again.
13:54Of course, if you didn't constantly suppress your emotions,
13:57people wouldn't forget to console you.
14:00Excuse me?
14:02What's true?
14:02You're stoic to the point of being cold.
14:05I am not cold.
14:06I just, well, I don't like public displays of emotion.
14:09Well, that's fine.
14:10But people wonder why they haven't seen you cry.
14:15I mean, some people actually wonder if you truly mourn Rex.
14:21People have said that?
14:23A few, yes.
14:36Excuse me, I'm looking for Rita Rivera.
14:44Hi, are you Rita?
14:46Yeah, who are you?
14:48I'm Gabrielle Solis.
14:51Our husbands are our roommates at the prison.
14:54Richie and I aren't married.
14:56Oh, I see.
14:58Well, your boyfriend asked my husband to give this to you.
15:02It's a sort of favor.
15:06It's all there.
15:07$7,000.
15:09Son of a bitch!
15:16Oh, don't even think about it.
15:21Um, hello?
15:22Is there a problem?
15:27Lady, let me ask you a question.
15:28Okay.
15:30This might seem kind of weird.
15:31What do you think of my breasts?
15:33Excuse me?
15:34I mean, how do they look to you?
15:37They're nice.
15:41I like them too.
15:44You're right, that was weird.
15:48You have no idea what this money is for, do you?
15:51Uh, no.
15:52No.
15:52You seem to have everything you need.
15:56Richie wants me to get a boob job.
15:57He wants them bigger.
15:59He's obsessed with huge breasts.
16:07So are you going to do it?
16:09I told him if he came up with the cash, I would.
16:10I just never thought the moron would actually come up with it.
16:12Okay.
16:17Not that it's any of my business, but it's your body.
16:20I wouldn't change anything unless I really wanted to.
16:23But if I don't do it, he'll leave me.
16:24Honey, he's in jail.
16:25How far is he going to go?
16:28Maybe it's time you stood up for yourself.
16:30Tell him you don't need the surgery.
16:33It's worth a shot.
16:34There you go.
16:36I'm so proud of you.
16:46When Lynette went back to work, she was aware her new job would be demanding.
16:52What she hadn't anticipated...
16:56was the night shift.
17:06Hey, I heard you come in about an hour ago.
17:10I did.
17:11I had to load the dishwasher.
17:13You didn't have to do that.
17:16Yeah, I sort of did.
17:18I'm sorry.
17:19I've just fallen behind at my house where I could just...
17:21I just had so many errands to run today.
17:24I'll make up for it tomorrow, okay?
17:26I promise.
17:27That's the beauty of my system.
17:29It's flexible.
17:31You know, for the sake of our marriage, please don't mention the system again.
17:35I sound sorry.
17:36What in the world?
17:37No, no, no.
17:38Don't touch that.
17:38Don't touch that.
17:39Penny had a little spitty up here on the sheets.
17:42You didn't change them?
17:42The towel is very clean.
17:44Oh, that's disgusting.
17:45It's just a little spittable, a little milky spittable on the sheets, please.
17:48I made a judgment call.
17:49Please respect that.
17:50No, I can't respect that.
17:51And do you know why?
17:52It's stupid.
17:53I'm going to get new sheets.
17:55We are not changing the sheets.
17:58Why are you yelling at me?
18:00I am not yelling at you, and this is not about spit up.
18:02Of course it is.
18:03No, it isn't.
18:03It's about control.
18:04And as you and I both know, you have some issues in this area.
18:07Why are you fighting so hard to sleep on baby vomit?
18:10I'm fighting for a principle.
18:12Being too lazy to change the sheets is not a principle.
18:15You know what?
18:16You're not going to win this one.
18:17So you better just crawl back into bed, or let's go to sleep.
18:31No, Tom.
18:32No.
18:33Tom, come.
18:35Come.
18:36Come.
18:36Come on.
18:37No, you come on.
18:38Get out.
18:39Get out.
18:39Get out.
18:39Get out.
18:40Fine.
18:41Fine.
18:42Fine.
19:00Normally, Lynette would have spent a sleepless night telling herself she didn't have control
19:05issues. But she couldn't. She was too busy figuring out how to bend Tom to her
19:16will. Hello? Hi. Welcome to the promised land. Go on. There. Good job.
19:49Betty? Betty? Oh, Betty, can I ask you a question? Of course. It's Susan, right? Yes, hi. I was just
19:59wondering, are you having some remodeling done on your house or something? No. Why? Well, I work at home, so
20:08I'm home a lot, working, and I just keep hearing these noises lately. It's hard to concentrate.
20:15I haven't noticed anything. Really? Well, it sounds like it's coming from your house. You know, it's like a clanging,
20:22clanging. There, there, that was it. Did you hear it? Yes. Matthew's very handy. He's always doing projects around the
20:32house. I guess I just don't notice the noise anymore. Even at two o'clock in the morning? Because that's
20:37kind of hard to miss.
20:47Good afternoon, Mrs. Mark. Hi, Matthew.
20:54Well, it was nice chatting with you, Susan.
21:01This is my third phone call, Mr. Flannery, and if someone doesn't call me back soon, I'm going to be
21:06irritated.
21:08Is everything all right?
21:10That darn insurance company is dragging its heels on paying Rex's policy, and I don't understand why.
21:15Well, he died unexpectedly, and that brings up a lot of questions.
21:20It's probably easier when people are just diseased.
21:27Probably.
21:29Hi.
21:30Hi.
21:30Hi.
21:31Oh, hi, Lynette.
21:32I'm sorry, am I interrupting?
21:33No, no, not at all.
21:34I saw you walk in, and I've been meaning to call since the service, but work's been so crazy, so...
21:39How are you doing?
21:41Um, I'm all right.
21:48Well, you look amazing.
21:50Do I?
21:51Absolutely.
21:52Oh.
21:56Well, I can't imagine what you're going through.
22:04Phyllis, you're going to have to stop that.
22:07I can't help it.
22:09When people talk about Rex, I just get emotional.
22:15Well, I'm very sorry for your loss, too, Phyllis.
22:18He was my firstborn.
22:20I don't know what I will do without him.
22:24Oh, I'm so sorry.
22:26Oh.
22:28Oh.
22:29Is she going to be okay?
22:32Um, yeah, sure.
22:34Hold on a second.
22:36Oh.
22:45There we go.
22:46Feel better?
22:49Lynette, you were saying?
22:51I forgot.
22:52That's all right.
22:53It was really sweet of you to stop by.
22:56Okay.
23:02So, uh, are we ready to order, or do you need a little more time?
23:09Well, I've been in the insurance industry for 15 years.
23:11I've never received a phone call like this.
23:14I'm having second thoughts about Rex's death.
23:17I've known Rex and Bree for nearly 20 years, and I've never had any reason to suspect they were anything
23:24but a happy, loving couple.
23:26Which is why this seems so strange.
23:32I found it in Rex's room after he coded.
23:35I forgive you.
23:37I cannot wait to hear.
23:45I don't know if he doesn't see anyone here.
23:46Well, actually.
23:46I need something here.
23:47I don't know if he had anyone at eye 15.
23:51I'm going to relax course about this endeavor.
23:53I hope you do.
23:55Right I love you.
23:57I love you.
23:59I love you.
24:01I'm like me.
24:01I love you.
24:03I love you.
24:05I'm option she's doing this barriers.
24:06You're not too loyal to you.
24:08George, what are you doing here?
24:11I'm here to kidnap you.
24:13What?
24:14Get your purse.
24:15I'm going to take you bowling.
24:18I, I, I don't know how to bowl.
24:21Order the movies or for a frozen yogurt, whatever you want.
24:25Um, thank you, but I just couldn't.
24:28Now, Brie, I'm sure you haven't gone anywhere in weeks.
24:30You've got to get out and do things.
24:31It'll help, trust me.
24:33I do.
24:33I'm just, I'm just not ready.
24:36I admit that it was very sweet of you to think of me.
24:39Well, you know, I tried.
24:42And I appreciate that.
24:48It's all right.
24:50Let it out.
25:06You want me to die in here, don't you?
25:08Carlos, what happened?
25:10What do you mean, what happened?
25:11You talked Rita out of taking the money.
25:13Is that what Richie said?
25:14Yeah.
25:15The subject came up in between kidney punches.
25:17Well, it's not my fault.
25:18She didn't want the money.
25:19Why wouldn't she want $7,000?
25:21Because it's for a boob job.
25:23So?
25:24So her boobs are fine.
25:26And honestly, what he's doing to her self-esteem is just cruel.
25:29I feel sorry for her.
25:30Please, you don't care about her self-esteem any more than I do.
25:33You just didn't want to give up all that money.
25:35Well, I do think it's silly to give someone $7,000 if they don't want it.
25:39Listen to me.
25:40You're going to go back there.
25:42You're going to put that money in Rita's hands.
25:44And you're going to convince her that life is not worth living unless she has jugs the size of Texas.
25:49Do I make myself clear?
25:53I just realized Rita and I have a lot in common.
25:57Please don't tell me you have low self-esteem.
25:59Because if I laugh now, I'm going to crack the one good rib that I have left.
26:03We're both controlled by our husbands, which is idiotic because they're both behind bars.
26:07We should have all the power.
26:08I am not trying to control you.
26:10I just don't want to end up in the morgue.
26:11This isn't about that.
26:12Gabrielle, the morphine's wearing off.
26:15I really don't have time for these games.
26:16Me either, Carlos.
26:17And if you expect me to go back and sweet talk her into getting the operation, I can't show up
26:22empty-handed.
26:23Fine.
26:24Bring me the checkbook.
26:25I'll make out a check for some cash.
26:28See, I was thinking I'd be writing the checks.
26:35Gabrielle.
26:35Careful, Carlos.
26:36You're not in a position to argue.
26:45Woo-hoo!
26:46Susan!
26:47Hey, Edie.
26:49So, uh, whee!
26:52How much do you hate me?
26:53What?
26:54Oh, Carl said that you know all about our dirty little secret.
26:57Yeah.
26:57Yes, I do.
26:58Well, I feel awful.
26:59I should have told you that I was doing your ex.
27:02Well, it would have been the classy thing to do.
27:04Well, etiquette is a lost art for a lot of people.
27:07Oh, you've got to believe me.
27:08I never, ever thought anything would happen with us.
27:11But on our first date, Carl took me to a Mexican restaurant.
27:15You know what I get like when I drink tequila.
27:16A couple of shooters and my bra unhooks itself.
27:20Circumstances beyond your control.
27:21I get it.
27:21So, if you'll excuse me.
27:24Hey.
27:25Hey, hey.
27:26I am offering you an opportunity here.
27:28And go ahead.
27:30Vent.
27:31Let me have it.
27:32Come on, tell me what a bitch I am.
27:33Yeah, for snacking on your leftovers.
27:35I deserve it.
27:35Come on, bring it on.
27:36Honestly, Edie, I don't mind.
27:38You can skate off into the sunset with Carl.
27:40Be my guest.
27:43Well, that's good to know.
27:45Yeah, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but...
27:48Well, we were in my jacuzzi last night.
27:53Carl said it was the best sex he's ever had, bar none.
28:00Actually, I'm glad that you shared that, because here's a tidbit for you.
28:04Carl said he's still in love with me.
28:27Carl said he's still in love with me.
28:37Edie, what are you doing?
28:38You are a lying liar.
28:40We're in the middle of the street.
28:41Would you get out of here?
28:42Carl never said that.
28:43Carl asked me to get back together the day after Julie's birthday.
28:47I said no, which I'm guessing is the reason for the now legendary tequila bra-popping incident.
28:51Please let go.
28:52Oh, no.
28:53We're not finished here.
28:54Well, yes, we are.
28:55I'm going to go.
28:55You don't have the guts.
28:57In five seconds, I'm going to punch him.
28:59Yeah?
29:00I'll key your car.
29:01Not if you're sucking my exhaust, you won't.
29:03Take back what you said.
29:04No, I won't.
29:04Admit it, you'd do anything to destroy my happiness.
29:07Edie, for God's sake, why would I care if you end up with a man I despise?
29:11Because you and Mike are finished.
29:12Yeah, words out.
29:14And now that you can't be happy, you don't want anyone else to be.
29:17Period.
29:22Edie, come back here.
29:24We're not finished yet.
29:36It was an accident.
29:38Carl, Edie knows it was an accident, right?
29:40She knows you could have killed her.
29:42As it is, she's got a shattered tibia.
29:44God, I'm so sorry.
29:47I sent roses.
29:48Did she get the roses?
29:49Yep.
29:49She cut herself on the thorns.
29:51Oh, my God.
29:55Why'd you tell Edie about our little conversation?
29:58She was gloating about sleeping with you, and I just wanted to shut her up.
30:02Oh.
30:04So you were jealous?
30:06No.
30:07No.
30:09We were married, and she's trying to make this tawdry little affair you guys have going
30:14on par with that, and it's just, I got mad.
30:19Susan, do you remember the morning you saw me with Edie's paper?
30:23Well, the night before, I had asked her if she'd like to live together, and she said yes.
30:33Susan.
30:35Just give me a moment.
30:37I'm asking God to kill me.
30:41Oh, look.
30:42She's fine.
30:43She goes with the flow.
30:45You know, at this time in my life, I need that.
30:49Are you in love with her?
30:53Would you care if I were?
30:58I want you to be happy.
31:00I even sort of want Edie to be happy.
31:03But what?
31:04I want to be happy first.
31:07Mike and I were supposed to move in together, you know?
31:10This was supposed to be my time.
31:14I heard you and the plumber were having problems.
31:17Is it over?
31:20I don't know.
31:25It's really complicated.
31:29So, you never answered my question.
31:31Are you in love with her?
31:35I don't know.
31:39But I can promise you this much.
31:41I've never loved another woman the way I loved you.
31:44You walked out on me.
31:47Yeah.
31:47Look how far I got.
31:49I'm just up the street.
32:07Mommy, mommy, thank God you're home.
32:09Hi, sweet pea.
32:11Why?
32:12What's wrong?
32:13Daddy found a rat.
32:15Ow.
32:17Titty now.
32:20Honey?
32:27I'm home.
32:29Hey, babe.
32:30Hey.
32:31Hi.
32:31How was your day?
32:32It was good.
32:33But more importantly, how was yours?
32:37Parker told you about the rat, huh?
32:39Yep.
32:39Oh, my God.
32:40It was so disgusting.
32:43I came down the steps, and there I was sitting on the counter, eating a leftover grilled cheese
32:47sandwich.
32:49The sandwiches from yesterday?
32:51Okay, yes.
32:52The house has been too messy.
32:53Obviously, my system has some kinks in it.
32:55But check it out.
32:56I got my act together.
32:58Wow.
32:59So, um, I take it you took the rat outside?
33:01Oh, no.
33:02I smashed it with a shovel.
33:05You killed it?
33:06Not with the first blow.
33:10It's disgusting.
33:30Hey.
33:32Hey, little guy.
33:34I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about what happened with the shovel.
33:41Neither one of us saw that coming.
33:44I know it's not much consolation, but you really helped my marriage.
33:49That's a lot for a little rat to accomplish in one lifetime.
33:54Well, it's getting late, so hats off to you.
34:05So, you'd say the abuse started a few years into your marriage?
34:10It started so slowly, I didn't realize what was happening.
34:15He slapped me over some little problem.
34:18But he'd always apologize.
34:21Then it got worse.
34:22And one day, eight years ago, my son spilled soda on our new carpet.
34:29Before I could move to protect him, Virgil had knocked him on the ground and began kicking him.
34:35I went to protect my baby, but I didn't get there in time.
34:40What happened to your son?
34:44He died.
34:46I came across one of his baby pictures last week, and that's when the nightmare started again.
34:51The last doctor I saw said that I needed to let go of my guilt, and then I would start
34:57sleeping again.
34:59Of course, that's easier said than done.
35:01And I am getting so tired.
35:07I'm going to start you on nitrazapam.
35:10That should do the trick.
35:15I certainly hope your husband was punished for what he did.
35:18Yeah.
35:19That was retribution.
35:21I made sure of that.
35:37Where are you off to?
35:39I'm going to see Rex's lawyer.
35:41We're going to go over some details involving Rex's will.
35:48Phyllis, obviously, I'm just mortified over slapping you.
35:52I've just been in a weird place since Rex's death, but that's no excuse.
36:00I'm very, very sorry.
36:03No need to apologize.
36:06Your family, all is forgiven.
36:10Really?
36:11It's been a difficult time for all of us.
36:14I totally understand.
36:17Now go.
36:17Don't want to be late for your meeting about Rex's will.
36:44Claims, this is Joe Flannery.
36:45Hello.
36:46Could I speak to someone about the death benefits for Rex Vandekamp, please?
36:52This is his mother.
36:54Yes.
36:55We've already spoken to his wife several times.
36:57We are moving as quickly as we can.
37:00Are you aware that my daughter-in-law has a boyfriend?
37:07I'm listening.
37:08I'm listening.
37:10Control.
37:12It's extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it.
37:18Some rely on deception.
37:23While others engage in outright trickery.
37:28Then there are those who resort to extortion.
37:33Why do we fight so hard for control?
37:37Because we know to lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others.
37:46And what could be more dangerous?
37:48führen to others.
37:49And it's just a date.
