Transcript
00:12Previously on Desperate Housewives...
00:14Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm in love with you.
00:15Victor caught Gabby by surprise.
00:18Why would a four-star chef want a slum at a pizza joint?
00:21Lynette took a gamble.
00:22He has a history of using cocaine.
00:24I know, no way.
00:24Well, he's been clean for almost a year.
00:26Mike bet on love.
00:28Why, when you leave me and Susan alone?
00:30And lost.
00:31Don't panic.
00:32But still came to Susan's rescue.
00:34You okay?
00:36Yeah.
00:37And Mrs. McCluskey revealed her secret for a lasting relationship.
00:44It was late on a Tuesday night when the power went out all over Fairview.
00:50For most of the residents, it was a minor inconvenience.
00:54But for those with secrets, the darkness proved quite useful indeed.
01:02Millie Russell was able to indulge in another night of midnight binging.
01:07Timmy Cooper was able to sneak another peek at his father's adult magazines.
01:13Marilyn Quinn was able to steal a few more puffs of her forbidden tobacco.
01:21But these secrets paled compared to the one a certain old woman was hiding in her basement.
01:27You sit tight, Ida.
01:28I got batteries here.
01:31I keep them in the freezer for just such an emergency.
01:33I'll run them over to you.
01:36By the way, you wouldn't happen to have any extra ice laying around, would you?
01:41No, I've just got some stuff in my freezer I don't want thawing out any time soon.
01:47Yes.
01:48As a rule, darkness helps us keep our secrets safely hidden.
01:53Oh, crap!
02:02But every rule...
02:03Karen, what happened? Are you okay?
02:06...has its exceptions.
02:18THE END
02:51When the lights went out on Wisteria Lane, Karen McCluskey wasn't the only resident left
02:57in the dark. Everyone else felt the pain of going without power as well.
03:05Ow, damn thumbtack. Susan, please let me help. No, I got it. Ah, wait. Here we go.
03:16Well, it's hardly a long-term solution. Well, at least it'll keep me from stabbing myself
03:21while I look. Well, this is silly. Why don't we just borrow a flashlight from Mike?
03:27Mike? He's a plumber. He's bound to have a spare.
03:30Sure, but we can't keep leaning on him for everything. Mike, we're drowning. Save us.
03:35Mike, it's dark. Give us a flashlight. Let's go ask Gabby.
03:38Actually, I just wanted to talk to him anyway. I thought we might ask him over for dinner.
03:41Dinner? Ow!
03:44You know, as a thank you gesture.
03:46Well, Ian, you've tasted my cooking. It's not a thank you. It's revenge.
03:50Well, then I'll cook. You know, you told me I should put my jealousy behind me. I think
03:54breaking bread together would be a great start.
03:56Well, let's not bother him tonight. You know, I don't really even need a flashlight.
04:00My eyes have totally adjusted to the dark.
04:04What was that?
04:06Don't walk in the kitchen.
04:09Anyway, where is your sense of romance?
04:12You have a blackout. You have a defenseless lady.
04:16Getting any ideas?
04:17Well, I'm starting to, yes.
04:20It's funny.
04:22All that time I wasted worrying Mike would come between us.
04:26Seems like laughable now, doesn't it?
04:31Kiss me.
04:36Hey, Carlos. We had a blackout.
04:38Need a flashlight?
04:42Carlos, you okay?
04:46Oh, uh, sorry, man. I thought I heard a thud.
04:50I just, uh, bumped into a chair.
04:55I didn't think that you were coming home till tomorrow.
04:58No, the fish weren't biting.
05:00So, uh, I got a girl in here.
05:04No, why?
05:05Oh, because when I came home, I thought I heard sex noises.
05:10No, that was just me.
05:14Okay.
05:16Night.
05:19God, that was close.
05:20All that's sneaking around is ridiculous.
05:25Mike and I dated for five minutes.
05:28He's not gonna care.
05:30What if Travers finds out?
05:32Look, I don't want him to be confused, and until we figure out where this is going, I just think
05:37we should keep things on the down low.
05:40Hey, I didn't say we had to stop. I just said we had to be quiet.
05:43What? I suppose we should tiptoe around like schoolchildren so our parents don't catch us doing it?
05:47I feel like I'm 12 again.
05:49I'm just saying, I don't think that the whole world needs to know our...
05:5212?
05:53Okay, look.
05:55I will find us another place to rendezvous.
05:59But I'm not gonna skulk around forever.
06:02And no one's asking you to.
06:04I respect you too much for that.
06:09Um.
06:12If you don't mind.
06:13Oh, for God's sake.
06:15Oh.
06:28I'm gonna be right there.
06:30There you go.
06:31Ah.
06:32So, can you still cook with a power round?
06:33Oh, of course.
06:36Absolutely.
06:37Please, please tell me we can still make pizza.
06:39Little Dice.
06:40Some genius installed pizza ovens with electric starters.
06:43Oh, this is awful.
06:44And a good night, we barely break even.
06:47Tonight is gonna kill the whole week.
06:50Not necessarily.
06:52The stovetop's gas.
06:53I bought pasta for the staff dinner.
06:55You give me 10 minutes, I whip up a spaghetti carbonata that'll knock their socks off.
07:02Oh, my God.
07:04You are a lifesaver.
07:06And, uh, since it's not on the menu, you can charge whatever you want.
07:10Say, 20 bucks.
07:12For pasta?
07:12Are you crazy?
07:14Won't hurt to ask.
07:14Oh, I don't want to scare them away.
07:16Okay.
07:17Okay.
07:20So, good news.
07:22Our chef is preparing his special spaghetti carbonara.
07:26Ooh, yummy.
07:26And we're offering that for $12.
07:28Great.
07:30For the appetizer portion.
07:31The entree is 20.
07:33Fine.
07:34Two.
07:34Twenty-two.
07:36Okay.
07:42Shouldn't there be an emergency light?
07:45Sometimes in these elevators, there's a...
07:47Ta-da!
07:48Well, aren't you clever?
07:50I'll just call hotel security and let them know we're in.
07:52No, wait.
07:53This is the first time I've had you to myself all night.
07:56I'm sorry.
07:57It's those fundraisers.
07:58Everybody wants a piece of the candidate.
08:00What are you doing?
08:02Taking my piece.
08:04Are you insane?
08:05We're in an elevator.
08:06Exactly.
08:07Going down.
08:08No, cut it.
08:10Come on, cut it out.
08:10The power could come on at any moment.
08:13I know.
08:14That's what makes it so exciting.
08:16The risk.
08:17But, uh, I'm kind of running for mayor here.
08:20Remember.
08:20It's an elevator, silly.
08:21It has an emergency stop button.
08:25I don't.
08:27What?
08:35Oh, my God.
08:36It's amazing.
08:37What are you doing?
08:37That's my phone.
08:38It's not vibrating.
08:41Oh, man.
08:43I was just starting to get into it.
08:44Less talking, more dressing.
08:51You two okay?
08:53Yeah, fine.
08:54Thanks.
08:58Must have gotten pretty hot in there.
09:01You have no idea.
09:12Karen, don't worry about a thing.
09:14I'll collect your mail till you get back.
09:16Well, how long is this blackout supposed to last?
09:18Well, they say it may last for days.
09:20Days?
09:21Uh, hey, Blondie, come here.
09:23Come here.
09:24Hey, listen, I don't really need to go to the hospital.
09:27I'm fine.
09:27You fractured a ribbon.
09:28You might have a concussion.
09:29You need looking after.
09:30Now, some of the stuff in my freezer might melt.
09:32How about I just run out and get some ice and then meet you at the hospital?
09:35Ma'am, you can replace groceries.
09:37You don't understand.
09:38Some of my groceries, they have sentimental value.
09:42Sorry.
09:43Yeah, well, I don't need to ask your permission.
09:44Ma'am, no.
09:45Get your hands off me, you big ape.
09:47Oh, oh.
09:49Get the restraints.
09:50I'm going to sue your ass.
10:02Well, what are we waiting for?
10:03Get me to the hospital.
10:04I'm not a well woman.
10:09What was that all about?
10:11Your friend's afraid the stuff in her freezer is going to spoil.
10:13Oh, thank God the power's back on.
10:16Now she won't have to worry.
10:36I made you waffles.
10:39Eat them while they're hot.
10:47What?
10:50Will you marry me?
10:53They're just toaster waffles.
10:55Ah, that was just the pre-proposal, actually.
10:58The real one will be much more romantic with a big diamond the size of a doorknob.
11:01But just so you're prepared, I do want to marry you.
11:04Well, just so you're prepared, consider this my pre-refusal.
11:07Come on, what's wrong?
11:08You're wearing my shirts, you burn my breakfast, you're here every night.
11:10It's like we're married already.
11:12We're having a good time.
11:13Why risk ruining it?
11:15See, what happened to the thrill seeker that seduced me in the elevator?
11:18She wouldn't be afraid of taking a little risk.
11:20Oh, you don't want to marry her.
11:21She's a tramp.
11:22Hold up for a good girl.
11:23No, no, no.
11:24I found what I'm looking for.
11:26Come on.
11:27What gives?
11:30Look, Victor.
11:32Getting divorced really kicked my ass.
11:36I'm sorry, just next time I get married, I've got to be sure.
11:42Okay, I get it.
11:44Just wish there was a way I could prove how much I love and adore you.
11:47Well, if you can choke down that lousy waffle I made you, that'd be a start.
12:09Oh, there's Mike.
12:12Should we see if he's free Friday night?
12:14Yeah.
12:15Yeah, why not?
12:16Sure.
12:17You know what?
12:18Do you want to run this ice cream inside before it melts?
12:30Look, Ian is going to come invite you to dinner Friday, and you are not, I repeat, not going to
12:34accept.
12:36Why is Ian inviting me to dinner?
12:38He wants to thank you for saving us, and he wants to show that he's not jealous of you.
12:42How's that for irony?
12:43I didn't plan to kiss you, but you didn't exactly resist.
12:47I was in shock.
12:49Why were you so upset when you mentioned Ian?
12:52Because we just had a fight.
12:54About you.
12:56Really?
12:57You talk about me a lot.
12:59Mike, I am marrying Ian.
13:01We have hired a caterer.
13:02We are going with the salmon, so just back off.
13:05Hey, Ian.
13:06Hi, Ian.
13:08I just asked Mike.
13:09He can't make it.
13:10Yeah, I'm sorry.
13:11I've got plans for tonight.
13:12Oh, but didn't we say Friday?
13:15Friday?
13:16Oh, Friday.
13:16I'm wide open.
13:18Splendid.
13:19Shall we say 7.30?
13:21It's a date.
13:34Edie.
13:34Mrs. Epstein.
13:35Listen, I'm late for my Hadassah meeting.
13:38Here's the key.
13:38Take your time.
13:40Oh, and don't be shy.
13:41Check out those closets.
13:42They're very spacious.
13:44Oh.
13:46Edie, what are we doing here?
13:48Checking out a house.
13:50I told you I'm not looking to buy right now.
13:52Who's talking about buying anything?
13:54I am giving it away.
13:58Edie, we cannot have sex in here.
14:00It's someone else's bed.
14:01This is wrong.
14:02Look, we can't use my place.
14:03We can't use yours.
14:05And I'll be damned if I am going to pay for a hotel room when there are all these empty
14:09houses all over town that I have the keys to.
14:13Though reluctant at first, Carlo soon saw the wisdom in Edie's plan.
14:20Secret affairs are a lot like real estate.
14:23The three keys to success are location, location, location.
14:34Get careful.
14:36I can't sit down that fast.
14:37Sorry, I'm sorry.
14:37But it's going to be worth it.
14:39Okay, so tell Tom the secret of your risotto.
14:42Well, I saute spinach and onions and white wine.
14:45No, no, the profit margin.
14:48Basically, it costs a dollar to make.
14:50And we charge 20.
14:51So four people who would have shared a $15 pizza are now spending 80 bucks.
14:59Okay, kids, dig in.
15:01There's just one little problem with that, Lynette.
15:03Yeah.
15:03Those families you're talking about have kids.
15:06And there's no kids going to eat anything with spinach in it.
15:09Um, Tom?
15:16It's delicious, huh?
15:18Mm-hmm.
15:18Oh, yeah.
15:20Yeah, Rick learned how to make this in Italy.
15:23Go ahead, try it.
15:24I want to see what you think.
15:33Hmm.
15:36It's good.
15:37It's awesome.
15:39It's good.
15:42But?
15:44But it's just not us.
15:46Us?
15:47What is us?
15:48Look, we're a neighborhood pizza place.
15:51We serve pizza.
15:52I like this better.
15:53I'm getting bored of pizza.
15:54Porter.
15:55The adults are talking.
15:57Look, we serve good food at good prices.
15:59We're not looking to be the next, you know, trendy, flash in the pan.
16:02That's not what I'm looking for, either.
16:04See, my food, it's not trendy.
16:06It's classic.
16:06Rick.
16:09Obviously, you're a great cook.
16:10And when you have your own place, I will definitely eat there.
16:13But I see no reason to change my menu.
16:20More, please.
16:21More, please.
16:36Hi. Can I help you?
16:39Uh, yeah. I'm here to see Mr. Lang.
16:42He's not here. Is that for him?
16:46Yeah. But it's very personal.
16:48Okay.
16:49I don't think I should leave it with the maid.
16:52Do I look like the maid? Give me that.
17:17You! Blackmailer!
17:18Oh, man. You weren't supposed to look.
17:32$50,000. Are you insane?
17:34I want all the negatives of those photos, all right?
17:37Start breaking fingers.
17:38No, you can't break my fingers. Come on.
17:42Give me the picture!
17:43Hey, hey, hey. I'm breaking up. Breaking up. Come on. Come on.
17:46She's crazy.
17:47Hey, hey. She's crazy.
17:48That's for calling me a maid.
17:51Oh.
17:55If he works at hotel security monitors, that's how we got the photos.
17:59That miserable cockroach.
18:01If you want to smack him around a little, I can go inside and turn up the radio.
18:04Again, no thank you, but I will need those photos.
18:08Oh, no, no. I'm going to hang on to these. They're a little revealing.
18:11Ma'am, we can't charge him without evidence. And if he walks, he can do what he wants with the
18:15originals.
18:17Okay, yeah. Guard them with your life.
18:24Yeah, especially that one.
18:28We've been open for three months now, and we've barely turned a profit.
18:32We are building a customer base. That takes time.
18:35Go on, ask her.
18:37No, you ask her.
18:39Why are you being so stubborn?
18:41You would rather see the restaurant fail than succeed with Rick's idea.
18:45And I can't believe that you two are ready to toss out my concept.
18:48You know, why don't you just rename the restaurant Lynette and Rick's?
18:51Can we have futzicles?
18:53No!
18:55Sorry, Lynette, but the menu is not changing.
18:58End of discussion.
18:59I don't think so.
19:01Giving it a try.
19:03That's not your decision to make.
19:06Yeah?
19:07Well, then why don't you come down to the restaurant and stop me?
19:09Oh, that's right. You can.
19:14I told you she'd say no.
19:19Miss McCuskey always has some futzicles.
19:22Yeah, but she's in the hospital.
19:24Well...
19:26Well...
20:08Where's the ice cream?
20:11She didn't have any.
20:12Oh, man.
20:15Wasn't anything good in there?
20:17No.
20:42What the hell were you thinking?
20:43How was I supposed to know the cops were going to release the photos to the press?
20:46Everybody in town knows the police chief is the mayor's brother-in-law.
20:49Everyone!
20:49Enough, Jerome.
20:50I want you to organize a press conference, and then I want you to help me prep for it.
20:53Well, this is going to be a bloodbath.
20:54I don't know how you're going to prep.
20:55Just get me a bucket of piranhas, and I'll stick my head in it.
21:05You know, you're a single guy.
21:06Maybe people won't care.
21:08I'm running a family values campaign, and I had sex in an elevator.
21:12I think they will care.
21:17Look, I know this is my fault, so if you want to bite my head off, go ahead.
21:21You know, Gabby, there are only two things that matter to me these days.
21:23My campaign and you.
21:26And if I had to lose one of them, I'd rather it was the campaign.
21:35Is there anything I can do?
21:38Uh, yeah, you can stick around on election night.
21:41I have a feeling I'm going to need some serious consoling.
21:48Mmm.
21:50God, they're so good.
21:51I know.
21:52It's hard to decide, huh?
21:54No.
21:54No, I'm going to go with the crab cakes and the little quesadillas.
21:57Well, all we need is a wedding cake, and we're done.
22:01You were the most decisive bride I've ever met.
22:03I just guess I'm in a rush.
22:05Oh?
22:06Oh.
22:07Gotcha.
22:08Well, don't worry.
22:09You are not showing at all.
22:11Oh, no, no, no.
22:12No, I'm not pregnant.
22:13No, I just know what I want, which is Ian.
22:17So I'm just eager to, you know, not get it over with, per se,
22:20but just to get to the good part, which is the marriage to Ian.
22:26He seems like a great guy.
22:28I don't suppose he has a brother.
22:33Oh, so you're not seeing anyone?
22:36No.
22:36I'm between disappointment.
22:38Well, are you free for dinner tomorrow?
22:40Is this some lame setup?
22:42Please say yes.
22:43Well, there's this guy coming to dinner,
22:46and he's single and handsome and charming and...
22:50You had me at Guy.
22:53So how do you know him?
22:54Oh, uh, he's just a neighbor.
23:05Hi, Betty.
23:06What you doing?
23:07Nothing.
23:11You seem a little hopey lately.
23:12Is everything okay?
23:13Yeah.
23:15Can we go see Mrs. McCluskey?
23:19You guys didn't have to come down here.
23:21No matter what that cat scan says, I'm breaking out tomorrow.
23:24Well, Parker really wanted to come visit you.
23:26I'm going to put a little water in these.
23:30Don't tell your brothers.
23:31You were always my favorite.
23:33I sold them manna in your freezer.
23:38Lynette?
23:39Yeah?
23:39Could you run down to the snack bar and get me some green jello?
23:42Oh, sure.
23:48Okay.
23:49Time for a little grown-up talk.
24:00So can you understand now why I had to do what I did?
24:03Mm-hmm.
24:04And how you can never tell anyone, not even your mom?
24:06Hey.
24:07They didn't have jello, so I hope pudding is okay.
24:12Yeah, let's give it to Parker.
24:14A good boy like him deserves a treat.
24:17Mm.
24:26What are you thinking about?
24:30Just...
24:31This room doesn't really work.
24:34It's just too sterile.
24:35Can we go back to that Spanish colonial in third?
24:39Sure.
24:40Fine.
24:42You know what I was thinking?
24:44Hmm.
24:46I'm really happy.
24:48And I haven't felt this happy in a long time.
24:53How about you?
24:55Are you happy?
24:58Oh, my God.
24:59Oh!
25:00Oops.
25:00Sorry.
25:01Bed's not made.
25:03Whistle!
25:03Why don't you check out the Sub-Zero in the kitchen?
25:05It's to die.
25:08Well, I see you can't close a sale without opening something else.
25:11Oh, please.
25:12I heard about your open house on Holly Drive.
25:16They're still disinfecting the jacuzzi.
25:19Slut.
25:20Bitch.
25:24You think he's going to tell anyone?
25:26He's a gay realtor.
25:27He's speed dialing as we speak.
25:29Then go stop him.
25:31Well, what's the big deal?
25:32Who cares if people find out?
25:33I do.
25:34Why?
25:35Are you embarrassed to be dating me?
25:37No.
25:39I just...
25:39You know, if Gabby finds out, she's going to hit the ceiling.
25:43Oh, why would she care?
25:44She's dating that Victor guy.
25:46Please.
25:46That's not going to last.
25:52Oh, my God.
25:54You're still in love with her.
25:57No.
25:58I just...
25:59I mean, we've been getting along, and I don't want to...
26:03I don't know who the bigger moron is.
26:05You or me.
26:08Hey, don't be like this.
26:10Look, we're having fun, right?
26:12Apparently, that's all we're having.
26:14Idiot, come on!
26:16No, fun's over.
26:25Ah, Mike.
26:27Thanks for coming.
26:29Thanks for asking me.
26:33Susan.
26:38Hi.
26:40Um, Mike, I want you to meet Maggie Gilroy.
26:49I don't believe this.
26:51You're setting me up.
26:53You need to move on, okay?
26:55I don't want to move on.
26:56I came here to see you.
26:57Well, I'm not available, so if you feel like kissing someone tonight, point those lips at Maggie.
27:04Here we go.
27:06Your beer.
27:10Did I mention that Maggie is an amazing chef?
27:13We're embarrassed to be cooking for her.
27:14Stop.
27:15Good job.
27:15So, Mike, do you have a favorite type of cuisine?
27:21No.
27:22After three months of prison food, everything tastes good to me.
27:27So, you were in prison?
27:29He was totally innocent.
27:31Yeah, a woman was bludgeoned to death, and her blood wound up on my wrench.
27:35Oh, my God.
27:37But he was cleared.
27:38All charges dropped.
27:39Here, eat this.
27:41It's just so awful to go to jail for a crime you didn't commit.
27:45That was just a few months.
27:47Now, my first stretch for manslaughter, that was brutal.
27:54My worst cellmate was this guy called Stilts.
27:57When they arrested him, they found a bowl full of ears.
28:02Ow.
28:03I think that was meant for you.
28:05Sorry.
28:07So, why don't I just go and brew some coffee?
28:10And I brought a little surprise for dessert.
28:12Wedding cakes for you to sample.
28:14Great.
28:21Thanks a lot.
28:22Now Maggie thinks you're Charles Manson.
28:24I don't care.
28:25I love you.
28:26Don't say that.
28:27It's true.
28:28I remember everything now.
28:30When I got run over, I was on my way to propose to you.
28:33I don't want to talk about it.
28:34I do.
28:36What would you have said?
28:40You know what I would have said.
28:41It doesn't matter now.
28:42The hell it doesn't, Susan.
28:44If you can look me in the eye and tell me that when we kissed, you felt nothing.
28:48Then I'll just go.
28:49But only if you can say that and really mean it.
28:52Can you?
28:55Who wants wedding cake?
29:03Maggie, these cakes are fantastic.
29:05Great.
29:06Well, all you have to do is choose one and we're done.
29:08Did you notice the themes?
29:10Themes?
29:11Yes.
29:11This one is very British.
29:13Fondant icing and toffee ganache.
29:16And this is your classic American.
29:19White cake with buttercream frosting.
29:22So which one do you like the best?
29:28Wow, it's kind of hard to decide.
29:30Well, that depends on what you're looking for.
29:33Rich and elegant.
29:36Or down-to-earth and sweet.
29:43I don't know.
29:44You want to taste them again?
29:45No, I know what they taste like.
29:47I'm just torn, okay?
29:49There's no need to get upset.
29:50It's just a cake.
29:51It's not just a cake.
29:53It's a major decision.
29:55Well, hey, if you like them both so much, why don't you have two cakes?
29:58How would that look?
29:59Oh, hey, everybody.
30:01Here's my wedding cake.
30:03Oh, and what's that over there?
30:04It's my other wedding cake.
30:06I have to pick and I will.
30:08So just stop pressuring me, okay?
30:18I'm sorry.
30:22I think I was just having a little sugar rush.
30:28Thanks again.
30:30I'm sorry.
30:48Excuse me, am I interrupting something?
30:51No.
30:52It's nothing.
30:54I think it's time to level with him.
30:57I just told Susan I want her back.
31:01Excuse me?
31:01Look, I know it puts a crimp in your plans.
31:04I'm sorry, but I love her.
31:06But that's too damn bad, isn't it?
31:08Because she doesn't love you, really.
31:10She didn't seem to mind when I kissed her.
31:12What?
31:13Did he just kiss you?
31:14No, it was days ago.
31:16And you let him?
31:17No, he pounced.
31:19It was hardly a pounce, you bastard.
31:21We had an agreement.
31:24Susan doesn't have to marry you because you won her in a game of cards.
31:28What, he didn't tell you how we played poker for you?
31:31You bet me in a game of poker?
31:34That's not how it sounds.
31:36I merely suggested that if I won the hand, then he would stop badgering you.
31:41And if he won?
31:43Well, I forget the exact terms.
31:45But the point is, he lost, as I knew he would.
31:47I never would have wagered you if I didn't have a very good hand.
31:53Get out.
31:54Susan, please.
31:55You heard her.
31:55You two.
31:57I've had it with both of you.
31:58You're tugging at me like I'm some kind of wishbone.
32:00You're just upset.
32:01No, I am beyond upset.
32:03You two want a decision.
32:05Well, here's what I decide.
32:06There will be no kissing.
32:07And there will be no wedding.
32:09And there will be no damn cake.
32:26What's this?
32:28Ah, pumpkin sage ravioli.
32:30It's a little thank you for taking a chance on me.
32:33Are you kidding?
32:34I should be thanking you.
32:35We took in three grand tonight.
32:38Oh, wow.
32:40Candles, too.
32:41Yeah.
32:42I think we should use them all the time.
32:43It softens up the ambiance.
32:48So, come on, eat.
32:50Oh.
32:58Oh, my God.
33:00If we serve this for tomorrow's special,
33:03we will clear four grand.
33:05Great.
33:06Um, just be sure to run it by Tom.
33:08Why?
33:09You know, just shoot it down.
33:11I mean, I get it.
33:13He's in pain.
33:14He doesn't like being sidelined.
33:15But there's no reason to...
33:19You know what?
33:19Let's talk about something else.
33:21Yeah, sure.
33:23I mean, unless you'd like to go.
33:24You're here so late all the time.
33:26No.
33:26No, I like being here.
33:28It beats going home to an empty apartment.
33:30Don't you have any friends to hang out with?
33:31My friends come in two varieties.
33:33The ones I drove away before I got clean
33:35and the ones I should avoid if I want to stay clean.
33:39Oh.
33:40Yeah.
33:40I gotcha.
33:46You ever wear your hair down?
33:48What?
33:49Yeah.
33:50Sometimes.
33:51Why?
33:52It looks really good.
33:55Should do more often.
33:58Oh, well.
34:00Thanks.
34:11This is delicious.
34:13Thanks.
34:15Do you want some more wine?
34:16Sure.
34:25Daddy.
34:27The paper has a story about your restaurant.
34:30You're kidding.
34:32Come here.
34:33What does it say?
34:35When Scavo's pizzeria opened its doors,
34:38you could almost hear the city groan.
34:41Just what we need.
34:42Another pizza joint.
34:43But with an updated menu from new chef Rick Coletti,
34:47is he the man who cooked us that really, really...
34:49Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
34:51What else does it say, honey?
34:52There's more than just crayons on the table.
34:55The veal piccata is divine,
34:56and the mushroom risotto is an...
34:59E-X-Q-U...
35:02Exquisite.
35:03An exquisite treat.
35:04Scavo's has been transformed
35:06from a mundane family eatery
35:07into the area's hottest...
35:09That's enough, Kayla.
35:14Daddy's tired.
35:17Okay.
35:36Okay, okay, okay, okay.
35:38I know you guys like a good scandal,
35:40but I think the citizens of Fairview
35:41are more interested in the real issues.
35:48Mr. Lang,
35:50given your 15-point drop in the polls,
35:52what do you have to say to your constituents?
35:54Well, I would ask them
35:57to, uh, not base their view of me
35:59on a single...
35:59It's not going very well, is it?
36:01You picked up on that, did you?
36:04Who is she, Mr. Wright?
36:05Give us a name.
36:06No, I will not identify the woman.
36:08What are you hiding?
36:09Is she a prostitute?
36:10No!
36:11No, she's not a prostitute.
36:13I'll answer the questions one at a time.
36:15What about it?
36:19Thank you, goodness, family value.
36:21That does it.
36:23Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing?
36:25No, stop, please, please, stop.
36:27Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
36:29Would you please...
36:32Excuse me!
36:33I am the woman in the photos.
36:39What are you doing?
36:41What are you doing?
36:44Standing by my man.
36:46What is your name?
36:48What is your name?
36:48What is your name?
36:50My name is Gabrielle Marquez,
36:52and I want you to know
36:53right before those photos were taken,
36:56Victor asked me to marry him.
37:00What did you say?
37:02I said yes.
37:04I would be thrilled to be Mrs. Victor Lang.
37:08Mr. Lang, are you going to get married?
37:11Have you set a date?
37:12Are you really going to get married?
37:13Mr. Lang!
37:13In fact, I was so overcome
37:15that when we were trapped in the elevator,
37:17I seized the moment to express my joy.
37:22This is a love story.
37:24The only reason Victor kept it from you
37:26was to protect me.
37:28Because he's the kind of man
37:29who puts a woman's honor before his own.
37:32And that's the kind of man you marry.
37:35That's the kind of man you vote for.
37:36Is it...
37:39I'm telling you, man, you don't want to get married.
37:43What did you mean?
38:00What's that smell?
38:19Ma'am?
38:24Are you Karen McCluskey?
38:27That little bastard gave me up, didn't he?
38:31Today at the mayoral candidates press conference,
38:33a woman identified as Gabrielle Marquez,
38:37a former model, surprised reporters
38:39by announcing her engagement to Mr. Lange.
38:43The only reason he didn't tell you
38:45was because he was protecting me.
38:49Carlos, I don't know if you've heard.
38:52Yeah.
38:54I heard.
38:55In a few months, I will be Mrs. Victor Lange.
39:10I just heard on the radio
39:11the power company is still having problems
39:13and there might be another rolling blackout today.
39:16Do you want me to leave Ida's number
39:17in case something happens?
39:19I'm sure I'll be fine.
39:21Did you read our review in the paper?
39:24Yep.
39:28Okay.
39:31I'm off.
39:54Power.
39:55It's the type of thing
39:57most people don't think about
40:00until it's taken away.
40:04Whether it's the political power
40:06of the many
40:12or a lover's influence
40:14over just one.
40:18we all want some sort of power
40:21in our lives
40:22if only
40:24to give ourselves choices.
40:30Yes.
40:32To be without choices
40:33to feel utterly powerless
40:36well
40:37it's a lot
40:41like being alone
40:42in the dark.
40:55a shot.
40:57I want you to choose
