00:02When it came to throwing a bridal shower, Brie Vandekamp believed that everything should
00:07be done with taste and dignity.
00:12There should be personalized party favors, delicate pastel flowers, elegant refreshments,
00:24and she insisted on traditional gifts, even if they received an untraditional response.
00:31What the hell? Mixing bowls?
00:33Nesting mixing bowls.
00:35Come on, this is a shower. Isn't there one gift over there that's, uh, you know, buzzing?
00:42Ah, I know, just the one.
00:44Ah, here we go.
00:46I use mine all the time. I used to do it by hand, but this gets the job done so
00:50much faster.
00:51Ah, now we're talking. It's a brand new immersion blender.
00:59Now you can puree soups right in the pot.
01:02So, is every gift gonna be kitchen-related?
01:05Well, that's the theme that I had letter-pressed on the invitations.
01:09Okay, I might have to send someone out on a beer run.
01:11Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but if you're looking for that kind of shower, you're in the wrong
01:15place.
01:16Oh, Brie, can I talk to you for a second?
01:23Okay, so I had a feeling your shower might be kind of a dud.
01:26So I may have sort of hired a male stripper.
01:29Gabby, you didn't!
01:31There he is, so...
01:32Yay!
01:33No! Male strippers are beyond degrading, and I don't choose to be humiliated in my own home.
01:37No, no, please, get rid of them.
01:45Brie Vanitykamp, we have a warrant for your arrest.
01:47Yeah, yeah, yeah. She also has the right to remain horny.
01:49Listen, change of plans.
01:50Ma'am, I'm gonna need you to stand aside.
01:52Just take the money and go.
01:53And tell the agency three dumpy strippers does not equal one hot one.
02:00You're under arrest for the murder of Ramon Sanchez.
02:03What?
02:03Oh my God!
02:05Brie, what's going on?
02:06Oh, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.
02:09Is there anything we can do?
02:10Yes, I just put the mini quiches in the oven.
02:12Would you be a dear and take them out before they burn?
02:18Yes, Brie Vanitykamp believed in doing everything with dignity.
02:25Even in the most undignified of circumstances.
02:33Sometimes, no matter how much we plan,
02:38things don't turn out the way we expect.
02:43A sterling reputation may become tarnished.
02:49A clear explanation might get messy.
02:55An ideal arrangement could fall apart in a flash.
03:02And one person may end up paying the price
03:05for a crime that everyone thought was shared.
03:13Honey, are you okay?
03:15Yeah, thanks to Bob.
03:16They failed me out.
03:17What happened?
03:18What do they have on you?
03:19Very little.
03:20Orson's ridiculous letter, which is inadmissible in court since he's gone.
03:24And a very cryptic phone conversation, which can easily be explained away.
03:29Oh, thank God.
03:29Well, they also have Brie's fingerprint.
03:32On what?
03:33A button on the victim's shirt.
03:36When we were wrapping him up in the tablecloth, I noticed that his shirt was unbuttoned.
03:40You tidied up the dead guy?
03:41I felt it was respectful at the time.
03:44Obviously, I see things differently now.
03:48Well, we're not gonna let her take the blame for this.
03:50Yeah, we're all in this together.
03:52Whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:53If we confess, they'll find out about Carlos.
03:55And they could put him away forever.
03:56So what?
03:57We let Brie take the fall for us?
03:59Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
04:00I'm just saying we should think this through.
04:02Ladies, stop!
04:04Nothing is gonna happen to me.
04:05The police have no case.
04:07And of all of us, I am in the best position to take this on right now.
04:11I have no job, no small children to look after.
04:14But you do have a halo over your head.
04:16Yeah, Brie.
04:17It's incredibly generous.
04:20Bob, you swear you're gonna get her off, right?
04:23Actually, she needs a criminal defense attorney.
04:25I know the perfect guy.
04:26He's a real shark.
04:27He's not cheap, but he's worth it.
04:28Well, obviously, we're gonna pay for it.
04:31Yes.
04:32You don't have to do that.
04:34No arguing.
04:34You are doing something huge for us.
04:36Well, thank you, but I promise you it's not going to be huge,
04:39because nothing is going to happen.
04:43I swear to God, this woman is guilty.
04:45If she walks, I am gonna lose it.
04:47You don't have to convince me, but the jury's a whole other story.
04:49There's no motive, no connection to the victim.
04:51Well, then we have to find one, all right? Fast.
04:54Are you sure you're not overreacting because she dumped your partner?
04:57I don't think she just dumped him.
04:59I think she might be the reason Chuck's dead.
05:02Come on, we need to keep digging.
05:10No. No way.
05:13Carlos!
05:13I am not gonna let Bree take the fall for a crime I committed.
05:16Okay, wait, wait, wait.
05:17Before you do anything stupid and macho and noble,
05:19just sit your ass down and listen to me.
05:22Or stand your ass there and listen to me.
05:23You can't turn yourself in.
05:25Why not? I'm the one who did it.
05:27You've already been to jail twice.
05:28You get a third strike, they're gonna put you away for life.
05:30So what? I'm supposed to send Bree in my place.
05:32Bree's not going anywhere.
05:34The evidence against her is very flimsy, and we're getting her some hotshot defense attorney.
05:38We. Who is we?
05:40The girls and I.
05:41We decided since Bree's in the hot seat, the least we could do is pay our legal fees.
05:46And I'm all in favor of that, but...
05:49How are we supposed to afford this?
05:51I just quit my job, and I have a lead on a non-profit, but it is hardly gonna pay
05:56anything!
05:57Okay, relax. Relax. Sit down.
06:01Look.
06:03I'm working now.
06:05No offense, but I don't think personal shoppers make hotshot defense attorney money.
06:09Okay, seriously, you need to keep your mouth shut and lie low until this breathing plays out.
06:12I just wish that there was something I could do.
06:15Carlos.
06:17Look.
06:19This is one of those times when the best thing you can do is do nothing.
06:29What about his suits?
06:32I'm giving it all away.
06:35It's what Mike would have wanted.
06:40I think I'll keep these.
06:43MJ always says he's gotta fill daddy's shoes.
06:46So if I save a pair someday, he will know that he did.
06:54Are you crying?
06:55No, no.
07:00Can you grab that stuff on the shelf?
07:02Yeah.
07:06What's this?
07:08I don't know.
07:09Never seen it before.
07:12I'll grab Mike's keys.
07:16Um...
07:16Maybe you opening it is not a good idea.
07:18Why not?
07:19Because it's in your house, in your bedroom, but it's locked.
07:22So maybe Mike didn't want you to know what was in it.
07:25That's ridiculous.
07:26I have a box like this in my house that I would not want Bob to see.
07:29Why?
07:30What's in it?
07:31No.
07:31Don't answer that.
07:36It's probably just papers and stuff.
07:39You're probably right, but...
07:40If it's something else, you may not want to know.
07:46Well, what do you suggest I do?
07:49Throw it away?
07:51Keep it on the shelf?
07:54Okay, how about this?
07:55You go make yourself a nice cup of tea.
07:57I will open it, and if it's just papers, I'll tell you.
07:59And if it's something else?
08:01I will decide if you should see it.
08:03I'm just trying to protect you, Susan.
08:05Men have secrets.
08:07Mike didn't.
08:09He kinda did.
08:16Hey, thanks for bringing that over.
08:17You can keep it.
08:18Who thinks a cake stand's a good gift for a bridal shower?
08:21Me. I gave it to you.
08:22Oh.
08:23Well, you owe me a less sucky present.
08:25And by the way, I think you guys owe me a whole new shower.
08:28I mean, when the host gets arrested for murder,
08:30kinda puts a damper on things.
08:32Yeah, weird.
08:33And what's up with the cops in this town?
08:35Last week, they hauled Ben in about some body they've found.
08:38Now, Bree?
08:38I'm sure they'll straighten it out.
08:39Thanks again for this.
08:41Who's the cake for?
08:42Tom.
08:43It's his birthday tomorrow, and I am implementing Phase 2 of Operation Get Tom Back.
08:47I'm guessing Phase 1 was a success.
08:50It was great.
08:51Right up until he caught on fire and then realized the entire evening had been a web of lies.
08:56But, right before that, there was this moment, this look between us.
09:00Like we were Tom and Lynette again.
09:03Really?
09:04I could see it in his eyes.
09:06Tom still loves me.
09:10So, birthday boy, what do you want to do for your big day?
09:14Just go out for dinner or something.
09:16That's it?
09:17I could have a party.
09:19Invite your friends over.
09:20Open up some champagne.
09:21You don't have to worry about that.
09:22The kids are throwing me a little party Thursday.
09:24Oh.
09:25Well, then I guess we'll have to come up with some other way to celebrate.
09:29Sounds good.
09:32Hey, aren't you forgetting something?
09:34Oh.
09:37Thank you, but I met your divorce papers.
09:40Oh.
09:41As much as I have enjoyed sleeping next to them for the past three weeks, maybe they could
09:45make their way over to Lynette sometime soon?
09:47It's just been so hectic at work.
09:49I haven't had a second to call the process server.
09:51No, but anybody can deliver them, right?
09:52I mean, what about your assistant?
09:54I don't think that that's appropriate.
09:56Well, I could have the messenger.
09:59Jane, honey, it'll get done.
10:01I'm just really busy right now.
10:04Okay.
10:06I love you and I look forward to spending many more birthdays together.
10:11You are the best.
10:12And now I really am late.
10:14I will see you tonight.
10:24Bob just called. I gotta run.
10:26Whoa, whoa. Hang on.
10:27What about the box?
10:28Huh? The what?
10:29The box.
10:31That's in your hands.
10:32Oh, the box!
10:34I actually couldn't open it.
10:36You were up there for 20 minutes.
10:38I fell asleep. Man, you have a comfortable bed.
10:41Talk to you later.
10:43Oh, my God.
10:44Is it that bad?
10:47Listen to me.
10:49This box is not defined by what is or isn't inside this box.
10:53Okay. I have a right to know I'm his wife.
10:55I know. I'm just trying to protect both of you guys.
10:58Lee...
10:59Susan, please, trust me on this.
11:28Hi. Welcome to Cumberly's Personal Shopping Service. Can I help you with something?
11:32I see we have very similar tastes.
11:35I always work with Margaret.
11:37Is she here?
11:38Oh, you don't want Margaret.
11:39Her idea of fashion is wearing one normal shoe and one clunky shoe.
11:43She has a prosthetic leg.
11:45And that's why she's my hero.
11:50Lazaro! What gives?
11:52You said I'd be kicking ass at this job.
11:53It takes time to build a client base, Gabby.
11:56Stick with it, okay? Five, six months from now, you'll be our top seller.
11:59Six months? I don't have that kind of time. I need money. Quick!
12:02I'm sorry. Most of the ladies who come in here already have a personal shopper.
12:07You know, you could try the men's department. You would be very persuasive over there.
12:13Huh.
12:14Well, I've always been able to get men to buy things for me. How hard could it be to get
12:17them to buy things from me?
12:19Just wear something sexy, show a little cleavage, and maybe lose the wedding ring.
12:23Seriously?
12:23Oh, yes. Guys tend to spend more when they think they have a shot with a hot sales girl.
12:28Lazaro!
12:28I know. It's demeaning and degrading. I shouldn't have even...
12:30No, no, no. I just need to know, should I lose the jacket?
12:33Because these things are a lot more persuasive when they're out.
12:43I don't care what the DA says.
12:46There's no case. My guy's innocent.
12:50Please stop calling it a body. It's a foot, an ear, and a flap of skin.
12:54Do these have raisins? Because that grosses me out.
12:56No.
12:57No, okay. Look, I gotta go. My eleven o'clock's here.
13:00Yeah. Okay.
13:02Sorry I'm late.
13:03Not a problem, Mr. Weston.
13:05Hold me a trip.
13:08This is amazing.
13:09I don't like to brag, but I am famous for my orange glazed muffins.
13:12Yeah, Bob's...
13:18The whole thing is quite ridiculous.
13:20The police found a dead man at a construction site, and they think that I killed him.
13:25Well, everyone's guilty until proven innocent. They must have something on you.
13:30Well, they did receive a letter from my ex-husband saying I did it.
13:32Well, that's nothing. The guy's got a vendetta against you, right?
13:36Yes, he does.
13:37Oh, and then there's a slightly more damning phone conversation in which I expressed remorse for, um, putting a body
13:44in the ground.
13:46Big deal. You were talking about burying a dead pet.
13:50I suppose I was.
13:52And then, the police claimed to have found one of my fingerprints on the dead man's shirt.
13:57Hmm.
13:59That's bad, right?
14:03Actually, I think that it's noble.
14:06Noble that you donate so much of your clothing to goodwill, and a shame that that poor sap ended up
14:11with your shirt.
14:13Oh! Bob was wrong. You're not good. You're amazing.
14:18So you'll take my case?
14:20Nope.
14:22Nope?
14:23No offense, but, um, he's kind of a snooze.
14:26Excuse me, but I have been accused of murder. My life is on the line here.
14:30Oh, please. What jury is gonna convict you with your, your pearls and your perfect hair and your subtle scent
14:36of lavender?
14:38Well, I would think that a lawyer would enjoy defending an innocent client.
14:41You would think so, wouldn't you?
14:42But I love the challenge.
14:44Last year, I defended a guy who was found standing over his dead father with a bloody knife in his
14:50hand.
14:50Not only did I exonerate his guilty ass, I got him 50% of the estate.
14:56That is reprehensible.
15:01I'm sorry, Ms. Vandekamp, but this is just, it's too easy.
15:05I mean, people who are famous for their muffins are not generally killers.
15:35Good morning. My name's Gabrielle. I'm a personal shopper here. Can I help you?
15:40No, no, no. I'm just trying to find the men's department. I need some socks.
15:44Oh, I can help you with that. May I?
15:51Oh, you're right. These ankles deserve so much better.
15:55You think? I've always thought they were just average ankles.
15:58Average? They're exquisite.
16:02Ooh, do you work out?
16:05I do a little mall walking, yes.
16:10Well, I don't say this to every man, but you've got the perfect ankles for cashmere.
16:16Let me show you a few pairs.
16:22Forty bucks for socks?
16:24I know. There's just something irresistible about cashmere.
16:28Promise me you won't buy one of these cashmere sweaters. I wouldn't be able to get my hands off you.
16:32Well...
16:35I really just need the tie.
16:37How can you take the tie without the blazer? With your shoulders?
16:40And this color up against that beautiful silver hair.
16:44I'm sorry, I lost myself there for a moment.
16:48Ooh! Hello, George Clooney!
16:51It's just so expensive. I don't know.
16:53You know what? Maybe I should measure that inseam one more time.
16:59What if it was drugs?
17:02Seriously? I just fell asleep.
17:05Oh, this baby's been working on her black belt.
17:08I'm just saying. It might get a drug problem. Those things never go away.
17:12I'm sure it was nothing like that.
17:15You're right.
17:18It's probably porn.
17:21And you know what? I'm cool with that.
17:23As long as it was nothing weird.
17:26Oh, God.
17:27You think it was something weird.
17:29Stop.
17:30Just trust Lee.
17:32If he thinks you shouldn't see in the box,
17:35we don't want to find something that would tarnish your memories at Mike.
17:41You're absolutely right.
17:44I should just leave this alone.
17:49Susan, it's-
17:502 in the morning. I know.
17:51But I can't sleep and I am never going to sleep until I know what's inside that box.
17:54So you can either let me in now or we can do this again at 3 and then at 4
17:57and then at-
18:02So there's his passport, letters from his mom, a really cute picture of you and MJ.
18:06Just get to it.
18:08And a checkbook.
18:10Apparently he set up an account 8 years ago.
18:14That's when we were divorced.
18:16And every month since, he's written a check to some woman named Jenny Hernandez.
18:23I've never heard of her.
18:25This is her address.
18:27Somewhere in Mount Pleasant.
18:38Oh my god.
18:40Any chance those are MJ's?
18:42No.
18:44Well, maybe it's-
18:45We both know what it is.
18:48There's a child out there.
18:52Mike's child.
19:17Mike's child.
19:19But I am like Rain Man.
19:2098, 99, 100.
19:23Sorry to bother you.
19:24Penny and Parker left this step over at our place so I thought I'd drop it by.
19:27Thanks.
19:28I see they're making lab coats a lot tighter than they used to.
19:32I see they're making sweatpants just as baggy as always.
19:37Besides, I'm not going to work.
19:38I'm taking Tom to his favorite restaurant because, you know, it's his birthday.
19:43Yeah, I know.
19:45That's why I'm making him his favorite cake.
19:47Looks appetizing.
19:49Don't forget to add the eye of Newt.
19:51Oh, because it's green.
19:53It's a funny story.
19:54When Tom and I were first dating, he wanted a red velvet cake for his birthday.
19:57But I only had green food coloring and he liked it anyway.
20:01So it's become a tradition.
20:02One we have shared for 25 years.
20:07I think we're going to keep sharing it.
20:09Lynette, stop embarrassing yourself.
20:11Tom is through with you.
20:12We have a family together.
20:14We don't just throw that away.
20:18Until you do.
20:20Mm-hmm. What is that?
20:22Your divorce papers.
20:25Tom already signed them.
20:27Now it's your turn.
20:33What the hell?!
20:36Oh, my God!
20:48You look beautiful.
20:49Oh, you're just saying that because it's obvious.
20:52Mwah! I'll be home for dinner.
20:56Oh, by the way, I think you could mix things up.
20:59I'm getting a little tired of chicken.
21:00You forgot something.
21:06It's better for business if I don't wear it.
21:08Really?
21:09I have a lot of rich men as clients.
21:11If I flirt with them, they buy more stuff, which means I make more money and you can cook something
21:15other than chicken for dinner.
21:18You know what? I'm not comfortable with you dressing like that and flirting with those guys.
21:21Oh, honey, you have nothing to worry about.
21:24You're just a bunch of nerds with money.
21:26This just helps.
21:27I can't dress for church if you want to move the merch.
21:29Gabby.
21:30Gotta shake your ear to get them to buy the gear.
21:32Gabby.
21:33You wanna sell some knits? You better flash.
21:35Gabby! I got it.
21:37Too bad. I have like 15 more.
21:40See you tonight.
21:54Lynette?
21:55What are you doing here?
21:57Jane's meeting me for my birthday.
21:59Jane's running late. She had a little trouble with your cake.
22:04You signed this?
22:06How did you get these?
22:08They were handed to me personally by your new roommate.
22:12Answer the question.
22:13I did not ask Jane to bring these to you, I swear.
22:16It doesn't matter if Jane brought them.
22:18He's gonna need a few more minutes.
22:21Look, I'm taking a little off guard here.
22:24Can we talk about this later?
22:25This is your signature, isn't it?
22:27Yes.
22:28When did you sign it?
22:31I don't know. A while ago, I guess.
22:33You guessed?
22:34Geez, this isn't a gym membership.
22:35This is for the disillusion of our marriage.
22:36Look, I know.
22:39You think I don't know.
22:42This is hard for me too, okay?
22:46But you gotta believe me.
22:47There is no way I meant for Jane to bring this to you.
22:51Then just tell me, what is it you do mean?
22:58Do you want to end our marriage?
22:59No way, I don't.
23:17No way, it's just that I want.
23:24You've got to know.
23:24If you're in love with me, you're in love with her.
23:25You've got to know and dance.
23:33sorry sorry sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry
24:03Please, talk to me.
24:07You know, it's just that you've had so much going on lately.
24:10You know, I thought it would be helpful if I took the papers ever for you.
24:15On what planet is you serving my wife divorce papers a good idea?
24:22I thought I was doing you a favor.
24:24Me a favor? Really? Me?
24:28Find us!
24:30I just want us to move forward.
24:32I can't stand this one foot in, one foot out thing that you've got going with your acts.
24:36It's not what I signed up for.
24:37I told you, I would take care of it.
24:40Now is not the time.
24:42It's never the time, Tom, until you make it the time.
24:44You don't just throw papers at someone and say, here, sign this.
24:48Everything that we have known and worked for is over.
24:51It's not that easy.
24:53It is when you know what you want.
24:59Tom, I love you.
25:01But if we're going to be together, you've got to stop thinking about her needs and start thinking about mine.
25:07I am always going to care about Lynette.
25:12She's the mother of my children.
25:18So you need to decide whether you can live with that.
25:32It's going to be okay.
25:41Hi, I'm looking for Jenny.
25:43I'm Jenny.
25:44And you are?
25:45Susan Delfino.
25:47Mike's wife.
25:48Oh.
25:50Yeah.
25:51I'm so sorry for your loss.
25:54Thank you for your sympathy.
25:56But what I really need from you is an explanation.
26:00Why was Mike sending you checks every month?
26:02They weren't for me.
26:04They were for Laura.
26:05Okay.
26:08Who's Laura, Mike's daughter?
26:10No, his sister.
26:12My sister.
26:17So, this is a group home?
26:19For autistic adults.
26:21Laura's one of our more severe cases.
26:23She can't speak.
26:24Loves painting, though.
26:26Spends hours every day at that table.
26:28Did Mike ever mention having a sister?
26:31No, never.
26:32He was great with her.
26:34He came by every Monday night to visit.
26:36Told me he had softball.
26:38Excuse me a moment.
26:41This is crazy.
26:43No, this is good.
26:44There's no other woman, no kid.
26:46Why wouldn't Mike tell me he had a sister?
26:49I don't know.
26:51Did he think I'd be upset about the money?
26:52Because I wouldn't.
26:53I'm sure he knew that.
26:56But why did he think he had to hide this from me?
26:58I mean, did he think I was the kind of person that wouldn't accept her?
27:02Sorry about that.
27:03Would you like to meet, Laura?
27:06We'd love to.
27:17His name is Ramon Sanchez.
27:19He would have stayed here around six months ago.
27:23Hmm.
27:24Doesn't ring a bell.
27:25But he could be in my treasure chest.
27:28I keep all the items guests leave behind.
27:31My husband calls it hoarding.
27:33But I fancy myself more of a collector.
27:39Twenty bucks says we're barking up the wrong crazy here.
27:43If the prosecutor needs more connection to that Vandy Camp broad, trust me, I'll find it.
27:47Must be your lucky day.
27:49Room 208.
27:50Ramon Sanchez.
27:53Magazine of the maps and receipts.
27:56I don't think there's anything here.
27:59He circled Wisteria Lane.
28:01Doesn't connect him to her.
28:03Not directly.
28:13It does if he was going to her address.
28:32Bob, you should be here any minute.
28:35You really don't need your lawyer.
28:36I just wanted to show you something that we found.
28:40What is it?
28:41It was with some of Mr. Sanchez's things.
28:43As you can see, he wrote your address on it.
28:46But that doesn't make any sense.
28:48Why would he...
28:48Look, this goes too much farther.
28:50There's nothing I can do to help you.
28:51But if you come forward now, tell me everything that happened.
28:55Things will go a lot easier for you.
28:59I think I should wait for my lawyer.
29:03Is there someplace I could get some water?
29:06Right outside.
29:15Mr. Conklin's parole hearing is tomorrow at 10.
29:19Do you really want me telling the board that you couldn't find the documents that I requested a week ago?
29:24I'll check again, Mr. Weston.
29:25Don't check.
29:26I'll check.
29:26Fine.
29:43Ms. Vandekamp.
29:46You okay?
29:48I think so.
29:49Just waiting for Bob.
29:53They found some other evidence and I'm just not sure what to make of it all.
30:03Look, uh, I'm trying to help you out here.
30:06But there is a clock on this deal, so I'm not sure how much longer you want to wait for
30:10your lawyer.
30:11You must hate being a detective, huh?
30:13Mr. Weston?
30:14Even a rookie cop knows that interrogating a suspect without counsel present is a violation of their rights, so this
30:21must be your way of trying to lose your gold shield.
30:24And you know what?
30:25I think it's going to work.
30:26We're just making small talk waiting for a lawyer.
30:28Well, small talk's over.
30:30I'm her lawyer.
30:33Let's go.
30:35You don't need his permission.
30:37You want to talk to her?
30:38You talk to me first.
30:39Is that clear?
30:40You're soon to be a patrolman, Murphy.
30:42Good evening, detective.
30:51I thought my case was too boring for you.
30:53It was.
30:54But I realized something that made it interesting.
30:57You may not have done this, but you sure as hell know who did.
31:10Oh, wineless.
31:11I'll take that.
31:12And be sure to bring me the check.
31:13Tonight's my treat.
31:16Whoa.
31:17Kind of pricey.
31:18I thought we were supposed to be saving for Bree's lawyer.
31:19We are, but I'm starting to do really well, so I think we can afford one splurge.
31:24I don't know.
31:25Oh, come on, Carlos.
31:27I want to do this for you.
31:28Can't you just enjoy it?
31:31I guess I can do that.
31:32Gabby?
31:33Jason!
31:33Hey!
31:34I thought that was you.
31:35Wow.
31:36Hi!
31:39Whoa!
31:40Who are you?
31:42Oh, this is Jason, one of my clients.
31:45Jason, this is Carlos, my brother.
31:49Oh, hey, man.
31:50Nice to meet you.
31:53Grab a chair.
31:54Join us.
31:56Thanks.
31:58So, uh, your sister here is quite the little saleswoman.
32:02You believe she talked me into a $4,000 suit today?
32:04I mean, that is so...
32:07Sis.
32:09Carlos, maybe you should go to the bar and get us some drinks.
32:12Nah, I'm not thirsty.
32:15So, uh, I'm wearing one of the shirts you picked out.
32:18What do you think?
32:19Oh, I can't tell you what I think in front of my brother.
32:24Hey, Carlos, how is it possible that someone as awesome as your sister hasn't been scooped up already?
32:30My guess is it's the herpes.
32:35Sibling humor.
32:37You're right.
32:38All those trips to the free clinic could have been for anything.
32:41Seriously, Carlos, some drinks for the table would be really good.
32:44You know what?
32:44What the hell?
32:45I'll take a scotch on the rocks.
32:47A single malt.
32:48Actually, you're going to have to get that one yourself.
32:51I am going home to my wife.
32:54I'm married.
33:02I can't believe you just did that.
33:03That guy's one of my best customers.
33:05Oh, are we talking about that nerd you sell to?
33:07Okay, maybe he's a little better looking than the others, but it's my job, Carlos.
33:10Fine, whatever.
33:12Let's just get out of here.
33:13You're such a hypocrite.
33:14How many times did you tell me to show a little cleavage when meeting your out-of-town clients?
33:18My breasts were practically a tourist stop.
33:21This is different, and I don't like it.
33:23Well, too bad.
33:24We need this job.
33:25I'm the breadwinner now.
33:26Yep, throw that in my face again.
33:28What?
33:29Make me dinner, Carlos.
33:31Get me drinks.
33:32Bring me the check.
33:33Yeah, Carlos, I did offer to treat.
33:36And you know what I was thinking?
33:38How good it felt.
33:39How, for the first time in 19 years, I was able to treat you.
33:42And I can't believe that would bother you.
33:44Well, it does.
33:46It's driving me crazy that you're the one making all the money and calling all the shots.
33:51Well, get used to it.
33:52Because I did all this for you.
33:53This is what you wanted.
33:58Give it to her.
33:58She's driving down.
34:15You're up early.
34:17I'm up late.
34:19Once in college, I wrote Mike a letter about how horrible you are.
34:23And good morning to me.
34:26We'd just had a fight on the phone, and I needed to put my anger somewhere.
34:31Anyway, when you said that Mike had some old letters in that box, I wanted to make sure
34:35mine wasn't in it.
34:36So I checked.
34:38And I found these.
34:41They're from Mike's mom, Adele.
34:45Turns out, you weren't the only one who was in the dark about Mike's sister.
34:48He didn't even know she existed until eight years ago.
34:51What?
34:52Why?
34:54It was clear early on that Laura was going to have special needs.
34:58I guess Mike's parents weren't up for it.
35:04So, yes, Michael, I am ashamed of myself.
35:08And I live with that decision every day.
35:11But life with your father was always hard.
35:13And keeping Laura would have been an inconvenience that might have destroyed everything.
35:22This was the last letter she wrote, Mike.
35:25And so now you know the worst secret of my life.
35:29But I beg of you, let it remain a secret.
35:31Your beautiful new family is one of the only joys I have.
35:36Don't let them know the kind of person I really am.
35:40Mike wasn't keeping a secret from you.
35:43He was keeping a secret for her.
35:48Well, I know what Mike would have wanted me to do.
35:53I'm going to keep writing those checks.
35:55And I'm going to keep Laura in my life.
36:01My God.
36:03Adele had to live with that on her conscience.
36:09Yeah.
36:10How do you do something like that?
36:13How do you give away your own child just because it's inconvenient?
36:21No, no, no.
36:22No, I didn't mean...
36:24It's not like that with you.
36:27No, Mom, it is.
36:32All the stuff I've said about being pregnant.
36:37That I'm not ready.
36:39Or that I'm not sure I'd be a good mom.
36:45It's all bull.
36:49What this baby really is to me is inconvenient.
36:58I've been thinking about this all night.
37:03I don't want to make a decision
37:06that I'm going to be ashamed of for the rest of my life.
37:11I can't live with that.
37:15I won't.
37:18Julie, are you saying...
37:19Yeah.
37:22I'm going to keep her.
37:28Yes.
37:29In life, we all make plans.
37:32But sometimes, they don't turn out the way we expected.
37:37By trying to help out,
37:39we may damage a relationship.
37:43By attempting to reach out,
37:46we may push someone further away.
37:50By digging into the past,
37:53we may enrich our present.
37:57But then there are those
37:59who refuse to let go of their plans,
38:01no matter how badly they are turning out.
38:05Hey.
38:07Can I buy you a beer?
38:08I figure you could use one.
38:10Why?
38:11Trip West has taken the van to camp case.
38:13The guy won't quit till he gets what he wants.
38:16Yeah, neither will I.
38:18So how about you buy me that beer
38:20when the bitch goes to jail?
38:21I'm going to be able to help you.
38:23I'm going to be able to help you.
