Programa de TV: Brothers & Sisters - 5x1
I never thought we'd get back to this table.
I can't tell you how good it felt to have dinner together again.
We hadn't done that since the night of the accident.
Kitty!
To be honest...
Sometimes I felt like we'd never get over it.
But somehow we did.
It took a while, though.
Sarah just tried to move on.
Kevin was busy trying to save every family in the world except ours.
Mom...
It was like she became somebody else.
But someone came home and turned out to be a hero...
In more ways than one.
And as for me...
I had to make a choice that no one should ever have to make.
Okay.
I do not see you.
I'm at the corner of 3rd and Figueroa, babe.
Well, so am I.
Luc, I am running late.
This is the biggest business meeting of my career.
I don't have any time to waste.
Just...
just look up.
Hmm?
Oh, my God.
So...
how does it look?
Huge.
I can't believe they already hung it.
Oh, it's hung.
It's gonna be a real nice icebreaker at p.T.A.
Meetings.
I'm afraid to leave the house now.
Do me a favor?
Don't.
All right, Mateo.
Listen up.
When the judge addresses you, you speak clearly and politely.
So much as blink rudely, he will ship your butt to juvenile hall.
Gum.
* Puppeteer for kings * * And you've had enough * * But the search ends * * Here * * Where the night * * Is totally clear * This is Kitty.
Leave a message.
Kitty, hi.
I just...
I wanted to make sure that you were...
you were coming to the dinner tonight.
Uh, Scotty and Saul are- are planning such a nice meal.
And so...
call me.
I'll talk to you later.
See you tonight.
Hi.
Hi.
Was that a personal conversation you were having?
Yes, Zoe.
That was a personal call.
And I have to leave early like I told you, so I-I hope you don't get upset.
Well, you're here now...
And there are customers waiting.
Okay.
Your honor, to ship my client off to juvenile hall is to say that our criminal justice system places more value on the punishment of a boy than it does on the redemptive value of a real home.
Mateo's father is here today, and he is prepared to take him home.
I urge your honor, when you rule on this case, to let your understanding of the insignificance of Mateo's crime be outweighed by your belief in the monumental importance of family.
Thank you.
Okay, then.
I am ruling that the defendant shall return to the custody of his father, where he will behave himself.
Is that clear?
* Oh, and now you...
* Next case.
* You can steer * I would've been fine in juvie.
Trust me.
You wouldn't have.
Do you have any kids?
Uh, no.
No, I don't.
Um, I think your father's waiting.
You should go.
Cafe 4-2-9.
Yeah.
Uh, let me check that.
Schiffman, s-c...
s-c-h-i-f-f-m-a-n, Thursday for 8:00.
Yes, we've got you right here.
Yes, that'll be great.
Have you got a vase I can put this in?
Hang on a second, please.
Any vase will do.
If...
except that one.
It's horrible.
Any other vase...
could you hang on a second, please, Mrs.
Schiffman?
-Come on.
It's not much better.
-I will, uh, tell Scotty you like the polenta.
Very good.
Okay.
Thanks.
See you Thursday at 8:00.
Yeah, bye.
Let's get this...
Lovely flowers.
Thank you.
Okay, where should we put these?
Where are we gonna sit?
We can put the tables together in the middle.
Why don't I take this?
Okay, let's put the tables together, then.
Nora, why are we having this dinner here, by the way?
Because I was working all day, and I couldn't put it together.
Really?
That's why.
I see.
I think it's because you're hoping that everybody is in public, that it won't turn into d-day with entrees.
You're also forgetting that the restaurant is closed on Monday.
Oh, damn it.
What is that?
This is a two top.
Ugh!
Nora, Nora, Nora, please, just relax.
Come on.
He's coming home safe and sound.
It's a really good start.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's a really good start.
He's coming back safe and sound, I hope.
Last time he came home, he was injured.
The time before that, he came home with a drug problem.
I just hope he is safe and sound.
Nora, it was his decision to go back, and there was nothing you could do about it.
Mom, there's nothing you can do.
I'm fine.
But you're not fine, Justin.
Look at you.
You're a mess.
So what?
I'm a mess, all right?
Like, what...
what the hell difference does that make?
It makes a difference.
It makes a difference.
Justin, this is life.
You have a family.
You have a wife.
The accident was four weeks ago.
You have to get up off this couch and just...
and wh...
and what, mom, move on?
Like, move on.
Do...
do you think I like who I am right now?
I left Robert on the side of the road.
No one is blaming you.
It doesn't matter, mom.
I blame me.
Holly is alive because of you.
Well, I'm not helping her now, mom.
Rebecca and I can barely look at each other, and the only thing I want to do, the only thing that makes sense to me, nobody can understand.
Rebecca said she's gonna leave me if I even consider going off to war...
because it makes no sense!
It's crazy.
You can't go off to war because...
this is war!
This is war!
Where I am right now, mom!
And I'm not winning!
I'm dying.
I'm dying!
And over there, that feels like my chance to make things right again.
Mom...
then go!
Sign up.
Go back to the army.
Sail off to Iraq or Afghanistan, wherever people are blowing each other up.
If that's the only thing you think will make you better, then go.
Justin.
Oh!
Justin.
Justin.
Hey, mom.
Oh, God, Justin.
Come here.
Oh!
Oh, God.
I can't believe you're safe.
It's so good to see you.
Mwah.
Oh, look at you.
Look at you.
You look great.
Stop.
You...
you...
you look different.
Different?
What have I grown?
Oh, don't make fun of me.
Oh, God.
Oh!
Oh, I missed you.
Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
Is this the whole welcoming committee?
Yes.
You're gonna see everyone at dinner tonight.
Oh.
They're so excited to see you.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
Get your stuff.
Oh, let me get my bag.
No, ma.
Come on.
I got this.
I got this.
Oh...
whew.
God.
Oh, you're home.
Yeah.
So where do you want me to take you, to your apartment?
Uh, no, no.
I'm gonna, uh, try and reach Rebecca first before I show up.
Oh, good how's Kitty?
Fine.
Is everything the same with Robert?
Yes.
Have you spoken to Kitty about it?
All the doctors say, with...
with Robert's kind of coma, he could snap out of it at any...
No, no, no, mom, it's been a year, okay?
It's been more than a year, and maybe a doctor said that at first, but now he's in a permanent vegetative state.
This is Kitty's life.
I-I don't think it's our place to tell her what to do.
Not our place, mom?
Then whose is it?
So I promise I'm gonna talk to them about cleaning the windows, because...
We need to get as much sunshine in here as we can.
Oh, and I have a surprise for you.
Justin is back.
And I know he's gonna want to come see you as soon as he can.
All right.
You are finished.
Okay.
Well, I have to go.
I have an appointment.
But I will see you later.
You have a good day.
Mwah.
I love you.
Okay.
You better get down here, or I am gonna drink this whole bottle pour moi, or however the hell you say "by myself" in French.
Are we gonna celebrate now?
Isn't it a little too early for that?
Well, I'm not just celebrating.
I'm also girding my loins.
Oh?
Or at least my liver.
We haven't had a walkerfest for so long.
At least get me drunk.
All right.
I will celebrate.
Here's to your $50-million deal.
Actually, it's 55.
Oh, sorry.
But, you know, you never stopped believing in that land, never, and for that, your entire family is gonna be financially secure, so bravo.
Thank you.
That's enough about me.
Let's talk about my boyfriend.
Here is to his seminaked self up there for the world to gawk at.
You sorry I did it?
Sorry?
Why?
Um...
you can tell me.
Honey, there is nothing to be sorry about.
I can assure you.
Tell me more about Paris.
Well, there is this apartment I know.
It's in le marais.
Le marais.
And the windows, they give you a view into the place des vosges.
Oh, God.
I've been there.
Just lovely.
Mmm.
And below, there's the best bakery in the world.
We could live on croissants and table wine.
Oh, God.
Let's go tonight.
Uh, don't you want to see your brother?
Of course I do.
God.
You know, it's always a little...
It's always a little tense when he comes back from over there.
I don't know.
I feel like...
The whole family's in limbo, you know?
Like we're on hold, just waiting...
Don't let that be me.
Who?
Robert, just...
lying there like that.
Mnh-mnh.
Promise me that you would end it.
N-no.
No, I am serious.
Promise me.
Sarah, I'm sorry.
I love you.
I-I can't promise that.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
It's Uncle Justin.
Is that Evan?
You know Uncle Justin.
I can't believe this.
Hey.
Hey, Evan.
Can you say hi?
How are you?
Oh, sweetie, it's okay.
You can say hi.
Could I get a hug?
Wanna hug him?
Yeah.
Evan, oh, my God.
You're so big.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you feed 'em.
You're so big.
What have you been eatin'?
You gonna go play?
Wow.
Uh, he's huge.
Oh, my God.
Justin.
Oh, come here.
Come here.
Hey, come here.
Come here.
Oh, my God.
I missed you so much.
No, I'm...
I'm, um, I am.
I'm...
I'm fine.
I just had to drop off, um, Evan, and I have a meeting at the...
At the R.N.C., actually.
But...
but how are you?
I-I want to talk about you, and I-I...
how...
h was it over there?
I mean, well, not that you could really say.
Uh, no, I can.
Um, I'm good.
I'm good.
It felt different this time.
Oh, good.
Good.
Kitty, you know, I-I think about the accident a lot...
I'm so happy you're back.
Do you have any idea how proud I am of you?
I mean, look at you.
Well, you haven't possibly convinced my wife of that, have you?
Oh.
Have you...
have you guys been talking at least?
Uh, some, some.
You know, she sent me a birthday present and stuff.
You know, things were a little strained when I left.
Who am I kidding?
They were- they were practically broken.
You know, she begged me not to go, and I did, so she may not forgive me.
And I have to prepare myself for that.
You kn, as hard as it is, sometimes you...
you just have to let someone go.
Why are you saying that, Justin?
As hard as it is, sometimes you just have to let people go.
Are you talking about Rebecca, or are you talking about Robert?
I was talking about Rebecca, but if you'd like to talk about Robert...
no, I-I don't want to.
You know what I want?
I want to know why everybody in this family thinks that it's just so easy to play God.
No, no, Kitty, I'm not playing God.
You know, there is...
no, no.
There is a chance.
There's a chance of recovery.
Many, many cases, people have just emerged spont...
okay, not after a year and not with his kind of catastrophic brain injury.
It's not gonna happen.
Oh, really?
How do you know, Justin?
You're not a doctor.
There was a woman in 1968, okay?
She was in a coma for 12 years- he's never coming out of this.
Then why is he fighting?
He's not.
You are.
Wow.
You know what?
You just got off of an airplane.
You haven't been here in a year.
You have no idea what is going on here.
You know what I thought?
I actually thought that you were gonna want to see him.
So excuse me, please.
I'm sorry.
Kitty, I'm s...
no.
You're kidding, right?
I know.
You can take it to the living room if you want.
Well, how?
I don't think I could lift it.
I thought you were working out twice a day.
Uh, no, that would be Luc.
I don't have time to perfect my abs anymore.
Anymore?
Kevin, u never had abs.
Uh, summer of '98.
Remember tae bo?
Oh, sadly, I do.
Can I at least show you the pertinent parts?
Luc's or the contracts?
Kevin.
When I was driving to court today, I saw him three times.
I mean, how can you possibly concentrate on anything else when you live with an underwear model?
He's an artist, actually...
I agree.
Who got badly affected by the global financial meltdown.
He needed money.
He has a friend who's a photographer.
This whole thing is a complete fluke.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Clears throat "land herein referred to as narrow lake..."
Here we go. "
Purchased for a sum of $55 million."
Whoa.
That's a lot of money.
One thing's for certain, tonight I can tell everybody that the deal's gonna be signed and, you know, maybe when people find out how much money they're gonna get...
Sarah, you don't have to give us money.
I've told you that.
No, I know.
I know, but I want to.
Kitty's gonna need it for Robert's care.
You can keep practicing for the law firm of Walker, pro, and Bono.
And I can go to France.
France?
Luc and I have been talking about the idea that we might all move to Paris.
When you think about it, what's really keeping me here?
No, you're absolutely right.
Kevin, that came out wrong.
I'm gonna go.
No, no, I understand.
You should go to Paris.
I wish Kitty'd go to Paris.
I think we should all go to Paris.
Does Justin know?
No.
Some homecoming, huh?
Here.
What is this for?
The prosciutto.
Yeah?
This is for a softball game.
Come on.
Find a ripe one.
Oh, for goodness sakes.
I can't concentrate.
While we were still in the airport, Justin was asking about Robert.
For one year, for one solid year...
Yeah.
Kitty hasn't been wanting or willing to talk about it.
And I-I can't tell her what to do.
Well, I've noticed yeah, well, I lost my voice.
Here.
Oh, it's ripe.
Who's that?
It's nobody.
Who was that?
It's that guy, okay?
You mean the guy you were playing backgammon with...
mm-hmm.
Why didn't you answer it?
That's a no-brainer.
I don't know.
A-and we have so much in common also.
Is he positive, too?
Why would you ask that?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I meant we have a lot in common.
We have music in common, we have backgammon in common.
I-I-I-I don't define myself by being positive.
It's not something that I look for or I'm not looking for in a partner.
I-I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I said that.
No, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to jump on you.
Saul, life is short and fragile.
If I've learned nothing else this year, I've learned that.
I thought you lost your voice.
Not with you, I haven't.
Hey.
Hey.
How are things here?
Oh, wow.
Nice flowers.
Yeah, Nora and Saul must have set the table, kind of a stealth operation.
What, you don't approve?
No, no, it-it's beautiful.
I just think it's weird that your mother hasn't called today, you know, about the menu or about anything.
There's a lot of things that are weird recently.
It's nothing new.
So my client got to go home to his father today instead of juvie.
Oh, that's...
that's good, right?
Mm.
I guess so.
Kid didn't seem too pleased.
It's funny.
He asked m.
What'd you say?
Ah.
I said no.
Anyway, I got a lot of work to do before dinner tonight.
Do...
do you want to...
Talk about it?
About what?
You know, you do this.
You bring it up, and then you just...
what, the surrogacy?
Kevin, why else did you tell me that story?
Because it was something that happened at work today.
I don't believe you.
I think you're in a lot of pain about losing the baby, and you want to talk about it...
we had two, Scotty.
We had two miscarriages.
Exactly.
And the only way we're gonna get through this is if we talk about it.
You have to let me do this my way, okay?
I am trying to move on.
Why do you think I'm doing this kind of work?
I totally respect that you're practicing law out of a restaurant, that you're helping people that need your help the most...
yeah, because right now, it's the only thing that makes sense to me.
Well, it's also a convenient way for you to forget about what happened.
I haven't forgotten what's happened.
I just have no desire to dwell on it.
That's all.
Kevin, what happened was a mistake of biology.
I know you think you can control everything...
we couldn't even control our surrogate.
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't blame Michelle for what happened, but she certainly...
no, I-I think you do, and until you realize that, we're never gonna be able to try again.
Do you have any idea what I've lost this year?
Not just a baby.
Don't you understand?
My best friend is on life support.
I don't want to try again.
Kitty, I'm glad you could come in today.
We have been putting together names of possible people to take over the r.N.C.
And, uh, you are on the short list.
Oh, my God.
No.
No, no, no.
No, no, see, that is simply out of the question.
See, that would require me to spend a lot of time on the road, and I can't afford to be away from Robert for that long.
Oh, look...
Kitty, I-I...
I'm...
I'm sorry for the mis-misunderstanding.
I...
it's okay.
Um...
we understand what you're going through this year.
Mm.
We were just hoping.
What?
The republican national committee needs someone with- with your intelligence, your...
your clear-headed thinking...
And frankly, your compassion.
Well, we just think you're- you're too good to waste.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Th-thank you.
I'm, um...
Why don't we do this?
Why don't we call it a...
Possibility?
So...
you'll think about it?
Yes.
I'll, uh, I'll...
I'll think about it.
Oh, good.
Ye.
Great.
Great.
Good.
Justin?
Justin?
Uh, Kitty told me you were here.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
Mom, where's Rebecca?
Mom.
She moved out a few weeks ago.
What are you talking about?
You...
you...
you...
you picked me up at the airport, d you didn't tell me?
No, I didn't tell you.
So...
so this is better, for me to walk into my house and...
and find my wife's stuff gone, mom?
I didn't want to get into the middle of it.
What are...
what else did she say?
Why do I have to be the one to tell you?
Why can't you...
mom, please.
You know, Justin.
You know.
She said it was the accident...
You going off to war again.
It was more than she could handle.
That's what she said.
I knew it.
Yeah, I mean, uh...
I knew it was gonna be rough.
I thought I was gonna be sleeping on the couch or maybe at your house.
I never...
Justin, I'm sorry.
I...
I'm so sorry.
I feel like this is all my fault.
If I hadn't yelled at you...
And you hadn't gone back...
Look, I've got...
I've got a lot of things I have to do, so, um, I'll see you tonight.
We're...
we're all meeting at the restaurant...
Scotty's and...
and...
and Saul's...
about 8:00, un-unless you think that's too late.
I don't care, mom.
Or we could do it at my house.
We don't have to go to the restaurant.
Oh, mom, mom, it doesn't matter.
I don't care where we eat.
I need you to leave.
I need to be alone.
I'm serious.
Go.
Go, mom.
Okay.
I know it's boring, but I made lasagna again.
Holly loves it.
Oh, so do I.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So how is she?
You look tired.
Um, well, it's been a rough week.
Uh, I thought things were getting better.
Uh, yeah, so did I.
You know, then, uh, she forgets, and it's like we're back to right after the accident.
David, I-I-I really think you should know that Justin is back.
Great.
That's all we need.
Look, I-I don't- I don't want to get involved, but if you could...
If you could get Rebecca to call him...
no, Nora, she doesn't want to talk to him.
I don't want to be in the middle of it.
Honestly, I don't.
I...
David?
What are you doing here?
Um, I brought you some more lasagna, and David and I were talking.
Why?
What do you want with him?
We're friends, holly.
We're all friends now.
Does William know that you're here?
Oh, holly, William's dead.
William...
William died a number of years ago.
Nora just brought us dinner tonight.
I don't understand what is going on here.
You and Nora are good friends now, holly.
It...
Justin, her son, is married to Rebecca.
Get that woman out of my house.
Oh, David.
Honestly, she's...
she's going to remember everything eventually.
No, Nora, she won't.
All she'll do is memorize the things she forgot.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Go on.
I mean, tell me.
Did he seem distant or distracted?
Was he going to see Rebecca?
That's what he said.
But you guys think they'll work it out, right?
Yeah.
Um, mom's not upstairs either.
Hey.
Um, well, you know we have half an hour on the chicken.
Maybe she went to get some wine.
I was fine doing it at the restaurant, you know?
Mom caught me a little upset, and I think she freaked out.
I'd offer you some wine, but I can't find any.
Really?
And, uh, you don't drink wine, obviously.
Sorry.
Is it weird, you know...
Being back?
All right, guys, don't be weird.
All right?
I made it home with all my fingers and all my toes, so just be normal, okay?
Yeah.
Be normal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Got it.
Sure.
So I, uh, I heard you had a meeying at the R.N.C.
- I did.
And did they offer you a job?
Yes, they did.
Are you gonna take it?
What?
No, I'm not.
But I would take some wine if anybody can find any.
I'm looking.
This is very weird.
Yeah.
So, uh, how's the restaurant?
Oh.
Oh, we've been open for six- six months now?
How's the food?
It's amazing.
Absolutely incredible.
She hasn't been since they opened.
That is not true.
I've been.
Really?
No.
Oh.
Uh, well, you kn, I don't think Kitty's been either.
No, I was there.
Mom and I went for lunch over the summer.
Right, Scotty?
You came in for coffee once.
Look, you know what?
Everybody's been busy.
So what?
I just want to know, where is the wine?
Oh.
Sorry.
I was just out getting some...
Anyway, they were out of it.
So I'll do the salad.
Oh.
Where's the wine?
We don't know.
Nowhere to be found.
Nora, the table is set.
And here's the wine.
Eureka!
Great.
I thought for a horrible moment that this house had run dry.
God, no.
I have set the table twice, and if this party moves anyplace else, you are on your own.
Where's that Luc?
Probably taking his clothes off.
Kevin, that is not funny.
He will be here soon.
Something came up.
Yeah, I bet it did.
Kevin.
You'll miss my jokes in France.
France?
Yeah.
I told you not to say anything.
No, you didn't, actually.
Well, I meant to.
Wait a minute.
You're moving to France?
France.
Wow.
That's great.
There's a lot to do in France.
Great?
Great?
What, are you kidding, mom?
Great?
Kitty, would you just slice some of these olives for me?
Sure.
I'll slice olives.
There you go.
Okay, let's make a toast to our Justin, the hero.
Cheers.
Welcome back, little brother.
Thank you, Uncle Saul.
How are you?
I'm go.
I'm good.
Ask him where his boyfriend is.
What?
You have a boyfriend?
No, I don't have a boyfriend.
Exactly.
You know what, Nora?
We are not in junior high school.
So would you please can it?
Um, I was gonna wait until after dinner, but what the heck?
We're gonna be closing the narrow lake deal with tevia beverages in a few days.
Yep, she's not kidding.
I've seen the contracts.
It's a great deal.
It's a great deal.
Wait a second.
So...
so that's what you're gonna do with narrow lake is sell it?
I thought you were gonna save the family.
Well, uh, Justin, you've been gone.
It's been a long year.
And the money will be really helpful to everyone.
Okay.
Um...
So, uh, what are you gonna do with the money?
Are you guys gonna try and get pregnant again?
Who, us?
No.
That ship has sailed.
Ship?
I'm sorry.
I thought that was...
that was your dream.
Yeah, I'm confused, too, Kevin.
Oh...
not now.
Please.
Okay.
Uh, Kitty, what are you gonna do with it?
What am I gonna do with the money?
Well, I-I think it's obvious what I'm gonna do with the money.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm...
I'm really confused here.
How is this money helping everyone?
Listen, Justin, we have all gotten through this last year in our own way.
Now I'm not saying that what you did wasn't heroic, but you can't come back here and judge us...
no, no, no, no.
No one's judging anyone.
Well, that isn't true, is it, Justin?
Look, I'm just trying to help here.
I mean, I-I feel like after the accident, you guys all went to your room and shut the door and gave up.
Well, I'm sorry if you fee that me helping my brothers and sister move with...
Sarah, you're not helping anyone.
I mean, it sounds like you're trying to buy everyone off so you can go to France and forget any of this ever happened.
You just got back from hell, so I'm gonna let that go.
No!
No, don't let it go.
That's my whole point.
No one is talking to each other.
Mom, how are you letting this happen?
What...
what would you want me to do?
Be the mother you were when I left.
You know, I w...
I was right.
We should've done this at the restaurant.
Maybe then...
what...
what, we'd behave ourselves?
No, that's the last thing we need to do.
We need to be in each other's faces.
We need to be invested in each other.
We need to be walkers.
You know, k-Kevin doesn't want a baby, Sarah's moving to France, and...
and Kitty, you know, forget it, and Saul...
forget it?
Forget it?
What do you mean, "forget it"?
What?
What?
All I'm trying to do is take care of my husband, Justin, which is more than you ever did.
Kitty, Kitty, don't do this.
What?
What do you mean, "Kitty"?
Mom, this is what he does.
This is what he does.
He runs away.
He r...
no, no, Kitty.
It's okay.
You can say it.
Okay, I will say it.
You...
you left him.
He was sitting in that car, he was bleeding, he needed you.
He needed help, and you- you just...
you just left.
I left him because I needed to, because holly needed me and because your husband and I knew it was the right thing to do.
He told me that night to leave.
He said, "go, Justin.
I can wait for the ambulance."
He said that because he knew he wasn't gonna make it, and so did I.
We were two soldiers who made a choice that night.
And that's what I figured out over there, and I think that's why I went back, to remember.
Well, I'm, um...
I'm very, very happy for you.
I'm very happy that your year was so productive, Justin.
But see, things haven't been quite so clear for me.
Okay, see, you don't understand what you're asking me to do.
I mean, what if...
what if it were?
What if it were Paige?
What if it were Cooper?
What if it were Scotty?
I mean, you are basically asking me to kill him.
And you know what?
By the way, he's not a soldier.
He's just...
he's just my husband.
And, um...
This is not a-a war story, Justin.
This is just my life.
So, um, mom, I'm very sorry, but, um, I'm not gonna stay for dinner, okay?
You hungry?
No, thank you.
Sorry it didn't go well.
I was just about to leave when you called.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
He's right, you know?
Who's right?
Justin.
We were gonna take the money and run, all the way to France.
A little break from them could be a good thing.
Well, according to Justin, I already took a break.
We all did.
You know what?
Wait.
We don't have to move to France.
I grew up there.
There's nothing new to me.
It's not gonna fix what's wrong with your family.
I know.
Luc, what if this whole deal is a huge mistake?
Your deal?
That's crazy.
Is it?
I mean, think about it.
Maybe Justin's right.
If...
if we sell the land, there is nothing holding this family together.
No one walks away from $55 million.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
Okay, what...
what if I go ahead with the deal, I sell the land, I take all of the money, we put it in some kind of family trust.
I don't touch it.
Okay, so that...
that means, uh, we're not rich anymore?
Yes.
Okay.
But I promise, it'll be a better year than one we just had.
And who knows?
Maybe you can extend your 15 minutes of half-naked fame into half an hour.
Well, you know, look on the bright side.
At least Justin seems all right.
I know.
Maybe I've been in a habit of underestimating him, but I was convinced he was gonna come home with p.T.S.D.
No, seriously.
Now I'm more worried about Kitty.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Is that a kid under the blanket?
That's not just a kid.
That's...
that's my client.
That's a former client.
That's Mateo.
Oh.
What...
what's he doing here?
I don't know.
He's supposed to be at his father's.
This is not a good sign.
Well, we can't just Lee him here.
Whoa.
Wh...
yes, we can.
I can't take in every client like a stray puppy.
This place would be like a kennel.
Well, Kevin, maybe you're worried about the wrong person getting post-traumatic stress disorder, Bec...
don't start down that road with me.
I'm...
no, you keeping saying I don't know how much you've lost this year.
I do.
But I also know you're not handling it well.
He's a perfect example.
You're off the clock now, and look what you're doing.
You're willing to let some boy sleep on the street who clearly needs your help.
I mean, come on, Kevin...
hey, would you shut up?
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
I'm trying to sleep.
The damn garbage trucks make less noise than you two.
Why aren't you at your father's?
Because it sucks there.
I tried to tell you, but he was standing right next to us.
He's drunk now anyway.
It's your call, Kevin.
Come on.
Can I take a shower, too?
Bec...
One night.
And don't touch a thing.
Don't say it.
Don't say "I knew you'd be here."
It's too predictable, like me.
Well, you are anything but predictable.
Well, I'm doing what I always do...
Digging in my heels and not letting go.
It's a lot to let go of.
I can't even go in there tonight.
Do you know that every time I go in there, it always shocks me...
How much he looks like Robert?
But it isn't him, is it?
No.
No.
No.
Kitty, I'm sorry.
I know what it's like to lose a husband.
I know.
I-I just...
I just feel so backed up against the wall.
Lashing...
Out at Justin like that?
I don't want to be this person anymore.
Oh, sweetheart.
I know that he's never gonna get better.
I know that he's gone.
And I have wanted to say good-bye for so long, but I just...
Just can't do it.
Why?
Because I don't know what to do...
Without him.
It's not Robert that I'm afraid of losing anymore.
I-I think it's me.
You'll find yourself again.
I always get to this point...
And then I just can't say it.
What?
Good-bye.
Good-bye, Robert. "
It was always right around the moon. "
And then Harold made his bed. "
He got in it and Drew up the covers. "
The purple crayon dropped on the floor, and Harold Dropp off to sleep."
Oh, isn't that such a good story?
Yes!
Guess what, buddy.
I hate to tell you this, but it's time for you to go to bed.
Bedtime.
Yeah.
Come on, sweetie.
No, I don't want to go to bed.
I know you don't want to go to bed...
I don't want...
but you have to say good-night to Uncle Justin.
Thanks...
good night, Uncle Justin.
A high five.
Aw.
Yeah.
Thanks, champ.
Come on, baby.
You know what?
Grandma's gonna be meeting you upstairs, and I'm gonna be up in one minute, okay?
Oh, well, thank you, Uncle Justin.
It was a beautiful service.
Yeah, it...
it, uh...
it was.
There was a lot of great tributes to Robert.
Yeah.
Even from some democrats.
Oh, you know, Robert would've loved your eulogy...
the serenity prayer. "
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change"... "
And the courage to change the things I can"... "
And the wisdom to know the difference."
Justin, I'm...
I'm sorry.
No, you did everything you could've done that night, and I'm so sorry.
I-I ambushed you.
You know, I-I came on too strong.
No.
Obviously, I needed it.
I never would've believed it, but it's true.
My baby brother came home, and he knew that I was in trouble, and he had the courage to tell me.
So thank you.
Do you know who you remind me of these last couple
I can't tell you how good it felt to have dinner together again.
We hadn't done that since the night of the accident.
Kitty!
To be honest...
Sometimes I felt like we'd never get over it.
But somehow we did.
It took a while, though.
Sarah just tried to move on.
Kevin was busy trying to save every family in the world except ours.
Mom...
It was like she became somebody else.
But someone came home and turned out to be a hero...
In more ways than one.
And as for me...
I had to make a choice that no one should ever have to make.
Okay.
I do not see you.
I'm at the corner of 3rd and Figueroa, babe.
Well, so am I.
Luc, I am running late.
This is the biggest business meeting of my career.
I don't have any time to waste.
Just...
just look up.
Hmm?
Oh, my God.
So...
how does it look?
Huge.
I can't believe they already hung it.
Oh, it's hung.
It's gonna be a real nice icebreaker at p.T.A.
Meetings.
I'm afraid to leave the house now.
Do me a favor?
Don't.
All right, Mateo.
Listen up.
When the judge addresses you, you speak clearly and politely.
So much as blink rudely, he will ship your butt to juvenile hall.
Gum.
* Puppeteer for kings * * And you've had enough * * But the search ends * * Here * * Where the night * * Is totally clear * This is Kitty.
Leave a message.
Kitty, hi.
I just...
I wanted to make sure that you were...
you were coming to the dinner tonight.
Uh, Scotty and Saul are- are planning such a nice meal.
And so...
call me.
I'll talk to you later.
See you tonight.
Hi.
Hi.
Was that a personal conversation you were having?
Yes, Zoe.
That was a personal call.
And I have to leave early like I told you, so I-I hope you don't get upset.
Well, you're here now...
And there are customers waiting.
Okay.
Your honor, to ship my client off to juvenile hall is to say that our criminal justice system places more value on the punishment of a boy than it does on the redemptive value of a real home.
Mateo's father is here today, and he is prepared to take him home.
I urge your honor, when you rule on this case, to let your understanding of the insignificance of Mateo's crime be outweighed by your belief in the monumental importance of family.
Thank you.
Okay, then.
I am ruling that the defendant shall return to the custody of his father, where he will behave himself.
Is that clear?
* Oh, and now you...
* Next case.
* You can steer * I would've been fine in juvie.
Trust me.
You wouldn't have.
Do you have any kids?
Uh, no.
No, I don't.
Um, I think your father's waiting.
You should go.
Cafe 4-2-9.
Yeah.
Uh, let me check that.
Schiffman, s-c...
s-c-h-i-f-f-m-a-n, Thursday for 8:00.
Yes, we've got you right here.
Yes, that'll be great.
Have you got a vase I can put this in?
Hang on a second, please.
Any vase will do.
If...
except that one.
It's horrible.
Any other vase...
could you hang on a second, please, Mrs.
Schiffman?
-Come on.
It's not much better.
-I will, uh, tell Scotty you like the polenta.
Very good.
Okay.
Thanks.
See you Thursday at 8:00.
Yeah, bye.
Let's get this...
Lovely flowers.
Thank you.
Okay, where should we put these?
Where are we gonna sit?
We can put the tables together in the middle.
Why don't I take this?
Okay, let's put the tables together, then.
Nora, why are we having this dinner here, by the way?
Because I was working all day, and I couldn't put it together.
Really?
That's why.
I see.
I think it's because you're hoping that everybody is in public, that it won't turn into d-day with entrees.
You're also forgetting that the restaurant is closed on Monday.
Oh, damn it.
What is that?
This is a two top.
Ugh!
Nora, Nora, Nora, please, just relax.
Come on.
He's coming home safe and sound.
It's a really good start.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's a really good start.
He's coming back safe and sound, I hope.
Last time he came home, he was injured.
The time before that, he came home with a drug problem.
I just hope he is safe and sound.
Nora, it was his decision to go back, and there was nothing you could do about it.
Mom, there's nothing you can do.
I'm fine.
But you're not fine, Justin.
Look at you.
You're a mess.
So what?
I'm a mess, all right?
Like, what...
what the hell difference does that make?
It makes a difference.
It makes a difference.
Justin, this is life.
You have a family.
You have a wife.
The accident was four weeks ago.
You have to get up off this couch and just...
and wh...
and what, mom, move on?
Like, move on.
Do...
do you think I like who I am right now?
I left Robert on the side of the road.
No one is blaming you.
It doesn't matter, mom.
I blame me.
Holly is alive because of you.
Well, I'm not helping her now, mom.
Rebecca and I can barely look at each other, and the only thing I want to do, the only thing that makes sense to me, nobody can understand.
Rebecca said she's gonna leave me if I even consider going off to war...
because it makes no sense!
It's crazy.
You can't go off to war because...
this is war!
This is war!
Where I am right now, mom!
And I'm not winning!
I'm dying.
I'm dying!
And over there, that feels like my chance to make things right again.
Mom...
then go!
Sign up.
Go back to the army.
Sail off to Iraq or Afghanistan, wherever people are blowing each other up.
If that's the only thing you think will make you better, then go.
Justin.
Oh!
Justin.
Justin.
Hey, mom.
Oh, God, Justin.
Come here.
Oh!
Oh, God.
I can't believe you're safe.
It's so good to see you.
Mwah.
Oh, look at you.
Look at you.
You look great.
Stop.
You...
you...
you look different.
Different?
What have I grown?
Oh, don't make fun of me.
Oh, God.
Oh!
Oh, I missed you.
Oh, I'm so glad to see you.
Is this the whole welcoming committee?
Yes.
You're gonna see everyone at dinner tonight.
Oh.
They're so excited to see you.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
Get your stuff.
Oh, let me get my bag.
No, ma.
Come on.
I got this.
I got this.
Oh...
whew.
God.
Oh, you're home.
Yeah.
So where do you want me to take you, to your apartment?
Uh, no, no.
I'm gonna, uh, try and reach Rebecca first before I show up.
Oh, good how's Kitty?
Fine.
Is everything the same with Robert?
Yes.
Have you spoken to Kitty about it?
All the doctors say, with...
with Robert's kind of coma, he could snap out of it at any...
No, no, no, mom, it's been a year, okay?
It's been more than a year, and maybe a doctor said that at first, but now he's in a permanent vegetative state.
This is Kitty's life.
I-I don't think it's our place to tell her what to do.
Not our place, mom?
Then whose is it?
So I promise I'm gonna talk to them about cleaning the windows, because...
We need to get as much sunshine in here as we can.
Oh, and I have a surprise for you.
Justin is back.
And I know he's gonna want to come see you as soon as he can.
All right.
You are finished.
Okay.
Well, I have to go.
I have an appointment.
But I will see you later.
You have a good day.
Mwah.
I love you.
Okay.
You better get down here, or I am gonna drink this whole bottle pour moi, or however the hell you say "by myself" in French.
Are we gonna celebrate now?
Isn't it a little too early for that?
Well, I'm not just celebrating.
I'm also girding my loins.
Oh?
Or at least my liver.
We haven't had a walkerfest for so long.
At least get me drunk.
All right.
I will celebrate.
Here's to your $50-million deal.
Actually, it's 55.
Oh, sorry.
But, you know, you never stopped believing in that land, never, and for that, your entire family is gonna be financially secure, so bravo.
Thank you.
That's enough about me.
Let's talk about my boyfriend.
Here is to his seminaked self up there for the world to gawk at.
You sorry I did it?
Sorry?
Why?
Um...
you can tell me.
Honey, there is nothing to be sorry about.
I can assure you.
Tell me more about Paris.
Well, there is this apartment I know.
It's in le marais.
Le marais.
And the windows, they give you a view into the place des vosges.
Oh, God.
I've been there.
Just lovely.
Mmm.
And below, there's the best bakery in the world.
We could live on croissants and table wine.
Oh, God.
Let's go tonight.
Uh, don't you want to see your brother?
Of course I do.
God.
You know, it's always a little...
It's always a little tense when he comes back from over there.
I don't know.
I feel like...
The whole family's in limbo, you know?
Like we're on hold, just waiting...
Don't let that be me.
Who?
Robert, just...
lying there like that.
Mnh-mnh.
Promise me that you would end it.
N-no.
No, I am serious.
Promise me.
Sarah, I'm sorry.
I love you.
I-I can't promise that.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
It's Uncle Justin.
Is that Evan?
You know Uncle Justin.
I can't believe this.
Hey.
Hey, Evan.
Can you say hi?
How are you?
Oh, sweetie, it's okay.
You can say hi.
Could I get a hug?
Wanna hug him?
Yeah.
Evan, oh, my God.
You're so big.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, well, that's what happens when you feed 'em.
You're so big.
What have you been eatin'?
You gonna go play?
Wow.
Uh, he's huge.
Oh, my God.
Justin.
Oh, come here.
Come here.
Hey, come here.
Come here.
Oh, my God.
I missed you so much.
No, I'm...
I'm, um, I am.
I'm...
I'm fine.
I just had to drop off, um, Evan, and I have a meeting at the...
At the R.N.C., actually.
But...
but how are you?
I-I want to talk about you, and I-I...
how...
h was it over there?
I mean, well, not that you could really say.
Uh, no, I can.
Um, I'm good.
I'm good.
It felt different this time.
Oh, good.
Good.
Kitty, you know, I-I think about the accident a lot...
I'm so happy you're back.
Do you have any idea how proud I am of you?
I mean, look at you.
Well, you haven't possibly convinced my wife of that, have you?
Oh.
Have you...
have you guys been talking at least?
Uh, some, some.
You know, she sent me a birthday present and stuff.
You know, things were a little strained when I left.
Who am I kidding?
They were- they were practically broken.
You know, she begged me not to go, and I did, so she may not forgive me.
And I have to prepare myself for that.
You kn, as hard as it is, sometimes you...
you just have to let someone go.
Why are you saying that, Justin?
As hard as it is, sometimes you just have to let people go.
Are you talking about Rebecca, or are you talking about Robert?
I was talking about Rebecca, but if you'd like to talk about Robert...
no, I-I don't want to.
You know what I want?
I want to know why everybody in this family thinks that it's just so easy to play God.
No, no, Kitty, I'm not playing God.
You know, there is...
no, no.
There is a chance.
There's a chance of recovery.
Many, many cases, people have just emerged spont...
okay, not after a year and not with his kind of catastrophic brain injury.
It's not gonna happen.
Oh, really?
How do you know, Justin?
You're not a doctor.
There was a woman in 1968, okay?
She was in a coma for 12 years- he's never coming out of this.
Then why is he fighting?
He's not.
You are.
Wow.
You know what?
You just got off of an airplane.
You haven't been here in a year.
You have no idea what is going on here.
You know what I thought?
I actually thought that you were gonna want to see him.
So excuse me, please.
I'm sorry.
Kitty, I'm s...
no.
You're kidding, right?
I know.
You can take it to the living room if you want.
Well, how?
I don't think I could lift it.
I thought you were working out twice a day.
Uh, no, that would be Luc.
I don't have time to perfect my abs anymore.
Anymore?
Kevin, u never had abs.
Uh, summer of '98.
Remember tae bo?
Oh, sadly, I do.
Can I at least show you the pertinent parts?
Luc's or the contracts?
Kevin.
When I was driving to court today, I saw him three times.
I mean, how can you possibly concentrate on anything else when you live with an underwear model?
He's an artist, actually...
I agree.
Who got badly affected by the global financial meltdown.
He needed money.
He has a friend who's a photographer.
This whole thing is a complete fluke.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Clears throat "land herein referred to as narrow lake..."
Here we go. "
Purchased for a sum of $55 million."
Whoa.
That's a lot of money.
One thing's for certain, tonight I can tell everybody that the deal's gonna be signed and, you know, maybe when people find out how much money they're gonna get...
Sarah, you don't have to give us money.
I've told you that.
No, I know.
I know, but I want to.
Kitty's gonna need it for Robert's care.
You can keep practicing for the law firm of Walker, pro, and Bono.
And I can go to France.
France?
Luc and I have been talking about the idea that we might all move to Paris.
When you think about it, what's really keeping me here?
No, you're absolutely right.
Kevin, that came out wrong.
I'm gonna go.
No, no, I understand.
You should go to Paris.
I wish Kitty'd go to Paris.
I think we should all go to Paris.
Does Justin know?
No.
Some homecoming, huh?
Here.
What is this for?
The prosciutto.
Yeah?
This is for a softball game.
Come on.
Find a ripe one.
Oh, for goodness sakes.
I can't concentrate.
While we were still in the airport, Justin was asking about Robert.
For one year, for one solid year...
Yeah.
Kitty hasn't been wanting or willing to talk about it.
And I-I can't tell her what to do.
Well, I've noticed yeah, well, I lost my voice.
Here.
Oh, it's ripe.
Who's that?
It's nobody.
Who was that?
It's that guy, okay?
You mean the guy you were playing backgammon with...
mm-hmm.
Why didn't you answer it?
That's a no-brainer.
I don't know.
A-and we have so much in common also.
Is he positive, too?
Why would you ask that?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I meant we have a lot in common.
We have music in common, we have backgammon in common.
I-I-I-I don't define myself by being positive.
It's not something that I look for or I'm not looking for in a partner.
I-I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I said that.
No, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to jump on you.
Saul, life is short and fragile.
If I've learned nothing else this year, I've learned that.
I thought you lost your voice.
Not with you, I haven't.
Hey.
Hey.
How are things here?
Oh, wow.
Nice flowers.
Yeah, Nora and Saul must have set the table, kind of a stealth operation.
What, you don't approve?
No, no, it-it's beautiful.
I just think it's weird that your mother hasn't called today, you know, about the menu or about anything.
There's a lot of things that are weird recently.
It's nothing new.
So my client got to go home to his father today instead of juvie.
Oh, that's...
that's good, right?
Mm.
I guess so.
Kid didn't seem too pleased.
It's funny.
He asked m.
What'd you say?
Ah.
I said no.
Anyway, I got a lot of work to do before dinner tonight.
Do...
do you want to...
Talk about it?
About what?
You know, you do this.
You bring it up, and then you just...
what, the surrogacy?
Kevin, why else did you tell me that story?
Because it was something that happened at work today.
I don't believe you.
I think you're in a lot of pain about losing the baby, and you want to talk about it...
we had two, Scotty.
We had two miscarriages.
Exactly.
And the only way we're gonna get through this is if we talk about it.
You have to let me do this my way, okay?
I am trying to move on.
Why do you think I'm doing this kind of work?
I totally respect that you're practicing law out of a restaurant, that you're helping people that need your help the most...
yeah, because right now, it's the only thing that makes sense to me.
Well, it's also a convenient way for you to forget about what happened.
I haven't forgotten what's happened.
I just have no desire to dwell on it.
That's all.
Kevin, what happened was a mistake of biology.
I know you think you can control everything...
we couldn't even control our surrogate.
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't blame Michelle for what happened, but she certainly...
no, I-I think you do, and until you realize that, we're never gonna be able to try again.
Do you have any idea what I've lost this year?
Not just a baby.
Don't you understand?
My best friend is on life support.
I don't want to try again.
Kitty, I'm glad you could come in today.
We have been putting together names of possible people to take over the r.N.C.
And, uh, you are on the short list.
Oh, my God.
No.
No, no, no.
No, no, see, that is simply out of the question.
See, that would require me to spend a lot of time on the road, and I can't afford to be away from Robert for that long.
Oh, look...
Kitty, I-I...
I'm...
I'm sorry for the mis-misunderstanding.
I...
it's okay.
Um...
we understand what you're going through this year.
Mm.
We were just hoping.
What?
The republican national committee needs someone with- with your intelligence, your...
your clear-headed thinking...
And frankly, your compassion.
Well, we just think you're- you're too good to waste.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Th-thank you.
I'm, um...
Why don't we do this?
Why don't we call it a...
Possibility?
So...
you'll think about it?
Yes.
I'll, uh, I'll...
I'll think about it.
Oh, good.
Ye.
Great.
Great.
Good.
Justin?
Justin?
Uh, Kitty told me you were here.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
Mom, where's Rebecca?
Mom.
She moved out a few weeks ago.
What are you talking about?
You...
you...
you...
you picked me up at the airport, d you didn't tell me?
No, I didn't tell you.
So...
so this is better, for me to walk into my house and...
and find my wife's stuff gone, mom?
I didn't want to get into the middle of it.
What are...
what else did she say?
Why do I have to be the one to tell you?
Why can't you...
mom, please.
You know, Justin.
You know.
She said it was the accident...
You going off to war again.
It was more than she could handle.
That's what she said.
I knew it.
Yeah, I mean, uh...
I knew it was gonna be rough.
I thought I was gonna be sleeping on the couch or maybe at your house.
I never...
Justin, I'm sorry.
I...
I'm so sorry.
I feel like this is all my fault.
If I hadn't yelled at you...
And you hadn't gone back...
Look, I've got...
I've got a lot of things I have to do, so, um, I'll see you tonight.
We're...
we're all meeting at the restaurant...
Scotty's and...
and...
and Saul's...
about 8:00, un-unless you think that's too late.
I don't care, mom.
Or we could do it at my house.
We don't have to go to the restaurant.
Oh, mom, mom, it doesn't matter.
I don't care where we eat.
I need you to leave.
I need to be alone.
I'm serious.
Go.
Go, mom.
Okay.
I know it's boring, but I made lasagna again.
Holly loves it.
Oh, so do I.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So how is she?
You look tired.
Um, well, it's been a rough week.
Uh, I thought things were getting better.
Uh, yeah, so did I.
You know, then, uh, she forgets, and it's like we're back to right after the accident.
David, I-I-I really think you should know that Justin is back.
Great.
That's all we need.
Look, I-I don't- I don't want to get involved, but if you could...
If you could get Rebecca to call him...
no, Nora, she doesn't want to talk to him.
I don't want to be in the middle of it.
Honestly, I don't.
I...
David?
What are you doing here?
Um, I brought you some more lasagna, and David and I were talking.
Why?
What do you want with him?
We're friends, holly.
We're all friends now.
Does William know that you're here?
Oh, holly, William's dead.
William...
William died a number of years ago.
Nora just brought us dinner tonight.
I don't understand what is going on here.
You and Nora are good friends now, holly.
It...
Justin, her son, is married to Rebecca.
Get that woman out of my house.
Oh, David.
Honestly, she's...
she's going to remember everything eventually.
No, Nora, she won't.
All she'll do is memorize the things she forgot.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Go on.
I mean, tell me.
Did he seem distant or distracted?
Was he going to see Rebecca?
That's what he said.
But you guys think they'll work it out, right?
Yeah.
Um, mom's not upstairs either.
Hey.
Um, well, you know we have half an hour on the chicken.
Maybe she went to get some wine.
I was fine doing it at the restaurant, you know?
Mom caught me a little upset, and I think she freaked out.
I'd offer you some wine, but I can't find any.
Really?
And, uh, you don't drink wine, obviously.
Sorry.
Is it weird, you know...
Being back?
All right, guys, don't be weird.
All right?
I made it home with all my fingers and all my toes, so just be normal, okay?
Yeah.
Be normal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Got it.
Sure.
So I, uh, I heard you had a meeying at the R.N.C.
- I did.
And did they offer you a job?
Yes, they did.
Are you gonna take it?
What?
No, I'm not.
But I would take some wine if anybody can find any.
I'm looking.
This is very weird.
Yeah.
So, uh, how's the restaurant?
Oh.
Oh, we've been open for six- six months now?
How's the food?
It's amazing.
Absolutely incredible.
She hasn't been since they opened.
That is not true.
I've been.
Really?
No.
Oh.
Uh, well, you kn, I don't think Kitty's been either.
No, I was there.
Mom and I went for lunch over the summer.
Right, Scotty?
You came in for coffee once.
Look, you know what?
Everybody's been busy.
So what?
I just want to know, where is the wine?
Oh.
Sorry.
I was just out getting some...
Anyway, they were out of it.
So I'll do the salad.
Oh.
Where's the wine?
We don't know.
Nowhere to be found.
Nora, the table is set.
And here's the wine.
Eureka!
Great.
I thought for a horrible moment that this house had run dry.
God, no.
I have set the table twice, and if this party moves anyplace else, you are on your own.
Where's that Luc?
Probably taking his clothes off.
Kevin, that is not funny.
He will be here soon.
Something came up.
Yeah, I bet it did.
Kevin.
You'll miss my jokes in France.
France?
Yeah.
I told you not to say anything.
No, you didn't, actually.
Well, I meant to.
Wait a minute.
You're moving to France?
France.
Wow.
That's great.
There's a lot to do in France.
Great?
Great?
What, are you kidding, mom?
Great?
Kitty, would you just slice some of these olives for me?
Sure.
I'll slice olives.
There you go.
Okay, let's make a toast to our Justin, the hero.
Cheers.
Welcome back, little brother.
Thank you, Uncle Saul.
How are you?
I'm go.
I'm good.
Ask him where his boyfriend is.
What?
You have a boyfriend?
No, I don't have a boyfriend.
Exactly.
You know what, Nora?
We are not in junior high school.
So would you please can it?
Um, I was gonna wait until after dinner, but what the heck?
We're gonna be closing the narrow lake deal with tevia beverages in a few days.
Yep, she's not kidding.
I've seen the contracts.
It's a great deal.
It's a great deal.
Wait a second.
So...
so that's what you're gonna do with narrow lake is sell it?
I thought you were gonna save the family.
Well, uh, Justin, you've been gone.
It's been a long year.
And the money will be really helpful to everyone.
Okay.
Um...
So, uh, what are you gonna do with the money?
Are you guys gonna try and get pregnant again?
Who, us?
No.
That ship has sailed.
Ship?
I'm sorry.
I thought that was...
that was your dream.
Yeah, I'm confused, too, Kevin.
Oh...
not now.
Please.
Okay.
Uh, Kitty, what are you gonna do with it?
What am I gonna do with the money?
Well, I-I think it's obvious what I'm gonna do with the money.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm...
I'm really confused here.
How is this money helping everyone?
Listen, Justin, we have all gotten through this last year in our own way.
Now I'm not saying that what you did wasn't heroic, but you can't come back here and judge us...
no, no, no, no.
No one's judging anyone.
Well, that isn't true, is it, Justin?
Look, I'm just trying to help here.
I mean, I-I feel like after the accident, you guys all went to your room and shut the door and gave up.
Well, I'm sorry if you fee that me helping my brothers and sister move with...
Sarah, you're not helping anyone.
I mean, it sounds like you're trying to buy everyone off so you can go to France and forget any of this ever happened.
You just got back from hell, so I'm gonna let that go.
No!
No, don't let it go.
That's my whole point.
No one is talking to each other.
Mom, how are you letting this happen?
What...
what would you want me to do?
Be the mother you were when I left.
You know, I w...
I was right.
We should've done this at the restaurant.
Maybe then...
what...
what, we'd behave ourselves?
No, that's the last thing we need to do.
We need to be in each other's faces.
We need to be invested in each other.
We need to be walkers.
You know, k-Kevin doesn't want a baby, Sarah's moving to France, and...
and Kitty, you know, forget it, and Saul...
forget it?
Forget it?
What do you mean, "forget it"?
What?
What?
All I'm trying to do is take care of my husband, Justin, which is more than you ever did.
Kitty, Kitty, don't do this.
What?
What do you mean, "Kitty"?
Mom, this is what he does.
This is what he does.
He runs away.
He r...
no, no, Kitty.
It's okay.
You can say it.
Okay, I will say it.
You...
you left him.
He was sitting in that car, he was bleeding, he needed you.
He needed help, and you- you just...
you just left.
I left him because I needed to, because holly needed me and because your husband and I knew it was the right thing to do.
He told me that night to leave.
He said, "go, Justin.
I can wait for the ambulance."
He said that because he knew he wasn't gonna make it, and so did I.
We were two soldiers who made a choice that night.
And that's what I figured out over there, and I think that's why I went back, to remember.
Well, I'm, um...
I'm very, very happy for you.
I'm very happy that your year was so productive, Justin.
But see, things haven't been quite so clear for me.
Okay, see, you don't understand what you're asking me to do.
I mean, what if...
what if it were?
What if it were Paige?
What if it were Cooper?
What if it were Scotty?
I mean, you are basically asking me to kill him.
And you know what?
By the way, he's not a soldier.
He's just...
he's just my husband.
And, um...
This is not a-a war story, Justin.
This is just my life.
So, um, mom, I'm very sorry, but, um, I'm not gonna stay for dinner, okay?
You hungry?
No, thank you.
Sorry it didn't go well.
I was just about to leave when you called.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
He's right, you know?
Who's right?
Justin.
We were gonna take the money and run, all the way to France.
A little break from them could be a good thing.
Well, according to Justin, I already took a break.
We all did.
You know what?
Wait.
We don't have to move to France.
I grew up there.
There's nothing new to me.
It's not gonna fix what's wrong with your family.
I know.
Luc, what if this whole deal is a huge mistake?
Your deal?
That's crazy.
Is it?
I mean, think about it.
Maybe Justin's right.
If...
if we sell the land, there is nothing holding this family together.
No one walks away from $55 million.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
Okay, what...
what if I go ahead with the deal, I sell the land, I take all of the money, we put it in some kind of family trust.
I don't touch it.
Okay, so that...
that means, uh, we're not rich anymore?
Yes.
Okay.
But I promise, it'll be a better year than one we just had.
And who knows?
Maybe you can extend your 15 minutes of half-naked fame into half an hour.
Well, you know, look on the bright side.
At least Justin seems all right.
I know.
Maybe I've been in a habit of underestimating him, but I was convinced he was gonna come home with p.T.S.D.
No, seriously.
Now I'm more worried about Kitty.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Is that a kid under the blanket?
That's not just a kid.
That's...
that's my client.
That's a former client.
That's Mateo.
Oh.
What...
what's he doing here?
I don't know.
He's supposed to be at his father's.
This is not a good sign.
Well, we can't just Lee him here.
Whoa.
Wh...
yes, we can.
I can't take in every client like a stray puppy.
This place would be like a kennel.
Well, Kevin, maybe you're worried about the wrong person getting post-traumatic stress disorder, Bec...
don't start down that road with me.
I'm...
no, you keeping saying I don't know how much you've lost this year.
I do.
But I also know you're not handling it well.
He's a perfect example.
You're off the clock now, and look what you're doing.
You're willing to let some boy sleep on the street who clearly needs your help.
I mean, come on, Kevin...
hey, would you shut up?
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
I'm trying to sleep.
The damn garbage trucks make less noise than you two.
Why aren't you at your father's?
Because it sucks there.
I tried to tell you, but he was standing right next to us.
He's drunk now anyway.
It's your call, Kevin.
Come on.
Can I take a shower, too?
Bec...
One night.
And don't touch a thing.
Don't say it.
Don't say "I knew you'd be here."
It's too predictable, like me.
Well, you are anything but predictable.
Well, I'm doing what I always do...
Digging in my heels and not letting go.
It's a lot to let go of.
I can't even go in there tonight.
Do you know that every time I go in there, it always shocks me...
How much he looks like Robert?
But it isn't him, is it?
No.
No.
No.
Kitty, I'm sorry.
I know what it's like to lose a husband.
I know.
I-I just...
I just feel so backed up against the wall.
Lashing...
Out at Justin like that?
I don't want to be this person anymore.
Oh, sweetheart.
I know that he's never gonna get better.
I know that he's gone.
And I have wanted to say good-bye for so long, but I just...
Just can't do it.
Why?
Because I don't know what to do...
Without him.
It's not Robert that I'm afraid of losing anymore.
I-I think it's me.
You'll find yourself again.
I always get to this point...
And then I just can't say it.
What?
Good-bye.
Good-bye, Robert. "
It was always right around the moon. "
And then Harold made his bed. "
He got in it and Drew up the covers. "
The purple crayon dropped on the floor, and Harold Dropp off to sleep."
Oh, isn't that such a good story?
Yes!
Guess what, buddy.
I hate to tell you this, but it's time for you to go to bed.
Bedtime.
Yeah.
Come on, sweetie.
No, I don't want to go to bed.
I know you don't want to go to bed...
I don't want...
but you have to say good-night to Uncle Justin.
Thanks...
good night, Uncle Justin.
A high five.
Aw.
Yeah.
Thanks, champ.
Come on, baby.
You know what?
Grandma's gonna be meeting you upstairs, and I'm gonna be up in one minute, okay?
Oh, well, thank you, Uncle Justin.
It was a beautiful service.
Yeah, it...
it, uh...
it was.
There was a lot of great tributes to Robert.
Yeah.
Even from some democrats.
Oh, you know, Robert would've loved your eulogy...
the serenity prayer. "
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change"... "
And the courage to change the things I can"... "
And the wisdom to know the difference."
Justin, I'm...
I'm sorry.
No, you did everything you could've done that night, and I'm so sorry.
I-I ambushed you.
You know, I-I came on too strong.
No.
Obviously, I needed it.
I never would've believed it, but it's true.
My baby brother came home, and he knew that I was in trouble, and he had the courage to tell me.
So thank you.
Do you know who you remind me of these last couple
