00:00Previously on Desperate Housewives
00:03We are going to do everything we can to get you a kidney.
00:05In the meantime, live your life.
00:07If there's things you're thinking about doing, do them now.
00:10Susan's condition got worse.
00:12You're dying, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
00:16Beth was rejected by her husband.
00:18I kicked you out of this house. That was the end.
00:21And abandoned by her mother.
00:23I have no more use for you. Goodbye.
00:26But Brie brought hope.
00:31Has the transplant office reached you? Am I a match?
00:34Yes.
00:35I'm here to donate a kidney. It's the most important thing I've ever done.
00:38And Beth made the ultimate sacrifice.
00:42We need some help over here.
00:52We can never know the moment our lives are about to change.
00:56Forever.
00:59We might be preparing dinner.
01:03Coming home after a long day.
01:07Enjoying a glass of wine.
01:11Tending to our aches and pains.
01:15And then, when we least expect it,
01:18the moment comes.
01:21The moment comes.
01:26Hello?
01:27Susan?
01:28This is Craig Linwood from Fairview Memorial.
01:30Hello, Mr. Young.
01:32This is Dr. Jenkins from Fairview Memorial.
01:34We have a kidney for you.
01:36What?
01:37I'm sorry to tell you there's been a terrible accident.
01:40What kind of accident?
01:42Your wife shot herself.
01:44Oh, my God.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:46Mike, we have a kidney.
01:49Is she dead?
01:50We're keeping her on life support,
01:51but I'm afraid there's no brain activity.
01:54So, how soon can we do this?
01:56How soon can you get here?
01:58I don't understand.
01:59If there's no brain function,
02:01why is she on life support?
02:02Your wife is an organ donor,
02:04and we need to...
02:05Stop.
02:07You are not to touch her until I get there.
02:11Yes, there are moments
02:13that change our lives forever.
02:16But not always in the way
02:18we might expect.
02:20The women of Wisteria Lane
02:37look for any excuse
02:38to celebrate.
02:40A bottle of champagne
02:42when you're not expecting.
02:46A new dress
02:47for turning 39
02:48again.
02:50A triple fudge cake
02:53to reward
02:54a personal best.
02:56So, when my friends
02:57heard about Susan's good fortune,
03:00they just couldn't resist.
03:02Surprise!
03:05What?
03:06What are you supposed to say
03:07when someone gets an organ?
03:09Kidney!
03:11How about congratulations?
03:13We are so thrilled for you.
03:15When is this happening?
03:16I guess tonight.
03:18So, will you still be
03:19at my party Saturday
03:20because you did RSVP?
03:22Well, it depends.
03:23Can you move the party
03:24into the intensive care unit?
03:26So, that's a no.
03:27Gabby's in charge
03:28of the guest list
03:29in case anybody else
03:30decides to flake
03:31at the last minute.
03:32Hello, Susan.
03:34I didn't know you'd be
03:34bringing an entourage.
03:36Well, it's a happy day
03:36on our street.
03:37I would imagine
03:38a bit of a sad one, too.
03:40No, I can just call the caterer
03:41say this one less person.
03:42No big deal.
03:44Isn't that a little harsh?
03:46I mean, she was a neighbor.
03:47Who are you talking about?
03:49Your donor, Beth Young.
03:52Beth is her donor?
03:54Wait, you don't know
03:57any of this?
04:00Beth came to the ER
04:01with the transplant papers
04:02and then she shot herself.
04:09Is she dead?
04:11She's on life support,
04:13but she's not going to make it.
04:14Oh, my God.
04:15I'm so sorry.
04:16I thought you knew.
04:18Her husband is with her now.
04:19We want to give him
04:20some more time with her,
04:21so we're anticipating
04:23a bit of a delay.
04:26Oh, poor Beth.
04:28I just saw her yesterday.
04:33She seemed off,
04:34but she always seemed
04:35a little off,
04:36so I left.
04:37How could I not have realized
04:38she was in so much pain?
04:41Oh, you couldn't have known
04:43this would happen.
04:46Are you okay?
04:49I don't know.
04:53It sounds like
04:54nothing's going to happen
04:55tonight.
04:56Why don't you just
04:57all go home and
04:58get some sleep?
05:08Hello?
05:09It's Karen.
05:10Get your ass over here.
05:11I've got something
05:11that belongs to you.
05:13Little hint.
05:14It reeks of my ties
05:15and you gave birth to it.
05:21I come downstairs
05:22to make breakfast
05:22and there he is,
05:23passed out,
05:24stewed to the gills.
05:25Again, Karen,
05:26we are so sorry
05:27if I wanted a drunk
05:28homo on my couch,
05:29I would have married
05:30my college boyfriend.
05:33You can let me go,
05:35all right?
05:35I'm okay.
05:37Okay?
05:37You broke into
05:39a neighbor's house
05:39and passed out.
05:40I didn't break in.
05:42I got a little confused
05:45and went in the wrong house.
05:49You got to admit,
05:50all these places
05:50kind of look the same.
05:52When you're drunk?
05:53Andrew,
05:54this is not good.
05:55Calm down,
05:57all right?
05:57I just,
05:58I just had a little
05:59too much fun last night.
06:01You need to be
06:02very careful.
06:03Thanks to me,
06:03you have a genetic
06:04predisposition to alcoholism.
06:06Oh, what?
06:06Just because you're one,
06:08you want everyone
06:08in your little club?
06:10I'm not an alcoholic,
06:12okay?
06:13I got everything
06:14under control.
06:21How bad is it?
06:23It's really bad.
06:24When did it start?
06:27A while ago.
06:28First it was just
06:29on the weekends
06:29and sometimes during the week
06:31and now it's every night.
06:32I wish you had told me.
06:35You know what
06:35I've started to do?
06:37I pretend I have to work late
06:39so I don't have to come home
06:40and deal with him.
06:40Well, you need to talk to him.
06:42I have.
06:43And he promises
06:44it'll get better,
06:44but it only gets worse.
06:48I love him,
06:49but I can't take it anymore.
06:51I know.
06:52It's very difficult.
06:53No, Brie,
06:54I'm thinking of leaving him.
06:56Please don't.
06:57Not yet.
06:58Let me try to get him some help.
07:00I'll talk to him.
07:00No offense,
07:01but I don't think
07:02you're going to get through to him.
07:04Don't be so sure.
07:05I once smuggled vodka
07:06into church
07:06in a Jesus saves sports bottle.
07:08I can be pretty resourceful.
07:10Tables and chairs
07:15go out back,
07:16chafing dishes and flatware
07:17in the kitchen
07:18and eyes off the boobs,
07:19but thanks for noticing.
07:21Hey,
07:22I saw the party rental truck.
07:23What's going on?
07:24What do you think?
07:25It's for our party
07:25tomorrow night.
07:27What?
07:27Our spring fling?
07:29We're still flinging?
07:31Why wouldn't we be?
07:32Oh, I don't know.
07:32Unless the theme
07:33is neighbors
07:34who blow their brains out,
07:35I kind of thought
07:35the Beth Young thing
07:36might put a damper
07:37on the festivities.
07:38Why?
07:38She wasn't even invited.
07:40Well,
07:41we can't ignore the fact
07:42that one of our neighbors
07:42is dead.
07:43Brain dead.
07:44Big difference.
07:45Besides,
07:46she seems like a clinger.
07:47Bet she'll stick around
07:48for months.
07:50So you think it's okay
07:50that we still throw this party?
07:51Gabby,
07:52it's not a party.
07:53It's an event.
07:54Would you cancel the Oscars?
07:56Christmas?
07:56No.
07:57The invitations have been sent.
07:59The caterer's been hired.
08:00Life is for the living,
08:02so let's live.
08:04Well,
08:05the living did buy a new dress.
08:07Versace.
08:08And I'm sure Beth
08:09would have loved
08:10to have seen you
08:10in that Versace.
08:12She would have,
08:13wouldn't she?
08:14In a way,
08:15it could be a tribute to her.
08:18And I did see
08:18the perfect tribute
08:19shoes at the mall.
08:21Now that is the spirit.
08:23Now make sure the guests
08:24know the party is still on
08:25and I will take care
08:25of the arrangements here.
08:28Oh,
08:28and maybe we could have
08:29a moment of silence
08:30and then a champagne toast
08:31and Beth's honor.
08:32Oh,
08:32fabulous idea,
08:33except instead of champagne,
08:35let's do mojitos,
08:36and instead of Beth,
08:37let's toast to us.
08:39And the moment of silence?
08:40Would sound great with music.
08:47Oh,
08:48sorry.
08:55Paula,
09:01I want you to know
09:02how sorry I am.
09:05Can't imagine
09:06what you're going through
09:06right now.
09:17I want you to know
09:19how grateful I am
09:20for this gift
09:21that Beth is giving me.
09:23Obviously,
09:24it doesn't bring her back,
09:25but I hope
09:26it will be
09:28a small comfort
09:28to you
09:29knowing
09:30that in some way
09:31she'll live on.
09:35Why would that
09:36give me comfort?
09:38You trying to tell me
09:39that my wife is dead
09:40and that you're
09:41the consolation prize?
09:43No,
09:44that's not what I'm saying.
09:44I hate to disappoint you,
09:45Susan,
09:46but my wife's not dead.
09:47She's very much alive.
09:50They told me
09:50there was no chance.
09:51I don't care
09:52what they told you.
09:53Beth is alive
09:54and I intend to keep her
09:55that way as long as possible.
09:56I'm not going to allow you
09:57to strip her for parts
09:58like some abandoned car.
10:01That's not what's
10:02happening here.
10:03This was Beth's idea.
10:04Beth was not in her right mind
10:06when she signed those forms.
10:07As far as I'm concerned,
10:08they mean nothing.
10:09And what makes you think
10:10you deserve her kidney?
10:12Was it those meals
10:13you shared with her?
10:13All the girls' nights
10:15you included her in?
10:16The little gestures
10:17of kindness you offered
10:18to make her feel
10:19less alone?
10:21Right.
10:23You gave her
10:23nothing in life.
10:25And that's exactly
10:26what you're going to get
10:27in death.
10:38I don't get this.
10:39Beth signed
10:40the donation forms.
10:41And a living will.
10:42Those are legal documents.
10:43Aren't they binding?
10:45Yes and no.
10:46You're going to have to do
10:47a little better
10:47than yes and no.
10:49Yes, they'll stand up
10:50in court,
10:50but this hospital
10:51is not inclined
10:52to wage a legal battle
10:53against a grieving husband.
10:55It's too delicate.
10:56He's not a grieving husband.
10:58Paul Young
10:58has a vendetta
10:59against my family.
11:00He's only doing this
11:01to make us suffer.
11:04Look,
11:05we can't publicly support you,
11:07but if you decide
11:08to take this on,
11:08we won't stand in your way.
11:09You're damn right
11:11we're going to take
11:12this on.
11:14No, we're not.
11:16Susan.
11:16We're not fighting Paul.
11:17This is your life
11:18we're talking about here.
11:19We can't let him win.
11:21Win?
11:22His wife shot herself.
11:24And you want to,
11:25what,
11:25hire lawyers,
11:26drag him to court?
11:28I know that you're
11:29only thinking of me,
11:31but this is Paul's
11:32decision to make.
11:34It's not ours.
11:35I just want to go home.
11:50Thanks for helping me
11:51drop these off.
11:53No problem.
11:53It's nice to be out
11:54of the house.
11:55When did you start
11:56catering again?
11:57Oh, it's nothing official,
11:58just when I'm needed.
11:59And who's the client?
12:01Um,
12:02they prefer to remain
12:03anonymous.
12:05Coffee,
12:12walnuts,
12:12the old drunk guy
12:13from outside the supermarket.
12:15This is an AA meeting.
12:17It's a wonderful program.
12:18Lying to your son,
12:19which step is that?
12:21I'm sorry,
12:22but now that you're here,
12:23why don't you give it a try?
12:24Just listen to people's shares
12:26and see if you relate.
12:27And what am I supposed to say
12:28when I get up there and talk?
12:29Hello, my name is Andrew,
12:30and my mommy brought me.
12:31No one has to know
12:32we're related.
12:32Andrew, please.
12:34Just one meeting.
12:35It could save your life.
12:37Hey,
12:38I see you've met Brie.
12:39My name's Tommy.
12:39Welcome.
12:41First time?
12:42Yes, first time.
12:43My name is Elvis.
12:46Elvis?
12:47Really?
12:49That's your name?
12:50Yes, it's Elvis.
12:52Yet another reason
12:53for me to be mad
12:53and my mother.
13:00Hey, how'd it go?
13:02We would have played better
13:03if there was a windmill.
13:04But this is Glenn Morse,
13:06CEO of Morse Technologies,
13:07a man who can throw a six-iron
13:08farther than he can hit with one.
13:10Nice to meet you.
13:11Nice to meet you.
13:12So you guys want to come over
13:12for a beer?
13:13You know what?
13:14I should go next time.
13:16Bye.
13:16See ya.
13:17Well, nice to meet you.
13:17Hey, do you mind
13:18if I use the facilities
13:19before I hit the road?
13:20No, come on in.
13:24The bathroom's down there.
13:25We have five kids.
13:26You might want to squint.
13:27Actually,
13:28I don't need a bathroom.
13:29I need a CFO.
13:31What?
13:32My chief financial officer
13:34took a job in London
13:34and there's one name
13:35on my list for his replacement.
13:38Tom Scavo.
13:39Tom Scavo?
13:41I know that guy.
13:43Glenn,
13:43where'd this come from?
13:45Well, Carlos is always
13:45bragging about you
13:46so I started asking around.
13:48Come to find out,
13:49everybody loves you.
13:50What's not to love
13:51about Tom Scavo?
13:53Look, I'm prepared
13:53to give you a very
13:54generous salary,
13:55stock options,
13:56access to the company jet.
13:58Wow, this is amazing.
14:01But no.
14:03Well, we just found
14:04something not to love
14:05about Tom Scavo.
14:06What?
14:07Carlos is a close friend
14:08and we're just starting
14:08our busy season.
14:09I can't leave him
14:10in the lurch.
14:10Look, Tom,
14:11I don't want to buy
14:11a man out of his loyalty.
14:12You could try.
14:13It never hurts
14:13to put in an offer.
14:14Limit.
14:15Glenn,
14:16you have made my day,
14:18but I gotta pass.
14:19This conversation isn't over.
14:21I hope you're gonna
14:22talk some sense
14:23into this husband of yours.
14:24Talk, beat,
14:25whatever gets the job done.
14:29Okay,
14:30now is when you wink,
14:31rub your hands together
14:32and tell me
14:32you were playing that man
14:33like a fiddle.
14:34because this blank stare
14:36that's not fading
14:39is scaring the hell
14:40out of me.
14:40I'm not gonna
14:41screw over Carlos.
14:43What's the matter with you?
14:44Whatever happened
14:44to integrity?
14:45Nothing.
14:46It got a better offer
14:47from Glenn
14:48and turned into prosperity.
14:50Lynette,
14:51as much as I appreciate
14:51you trying to run my life,
14:52this is my decision.
14:53And I'm saying no.
14:55Okay,
14:55it looks like we have
15:02a little time left.
15:03Anyone else want to share?
15:05Elvis?
15:08It's not mandatory,
15:09but we'd love to hear from you.
15:11Elvis?
15:13Oh,
15:14no thanks,
15:15I pass.
15:16This is a safe place.
15:17No one here
15:18is going to judge you.
15:19Okay.
15:25You know,
15:25when I hear you guys
15:26talk about
15:27how other people
15:27try to control your lives,
15:29like Ed here
15:30with his boss
15:31or Mary Ann
15:33with her cat,
15:36I can relate.
15:37I have the same kind of problem
15:39with my mother.
15:40You know,
15:43I think her greatest regret
15:44in life
15:45is the fact
15:45that she gave birth
15:46to a son
15:47and not a puppet.
15:50She's such a control freak
15:51that my sister and I
15:52used to call her
15:53Attila the mom.
15:55Could we not laugh?
15:58I mean,
15:59we're trying to heal here.
16:02Nothing I ever did
16:03was good enough for her.
16:04Like in the 10th grade,
16:06I wanted to run
16:07for class president.
16:08And the night before
16:09I was going to announce,
16:10she said,
16:11are you sure about this?
16:13You're not exactly
16:14a born leader.
16:16Ouch.
16:16She sounds awful.
16:18Or does she sound
16:19like a loving mother
16:19trying to protect her son
16:20from disappointment?
16:21I don't think so
16:23because she wouldn't
16:23even listen to my speech.
16:24Well,
16:25maybe she was busy
16:25preparing dinner
16:26for a family of four
16:27with no help
16:28from her son.
16:29Yeah,
16:29it is hard work
16:31making dinner
16:31while maintaining
16:32an atmosphere
16:33of emotional repression.
16:34Well,
16:35if you ask me,
16:35some emotions
16:36could stand to be repressed.
16:37Uh, Brie?
16:38I'm sorry,
16:38but we're here
16:39to stop drinking,
16:40not criticize the women
16:40who gave us life.
16:42He's just trying to share.
16:43Well,
16:44there is a difference
16:44between sharing
16:45and whining.
16:48Okay,
16:49uh,
16:49we are definitely
16:50out of time.
16:51Thank you,
16:51everybody.
16:52Now,
16:52let's just join hands
16:53and recite
16:54the serenity prayer.
16:57God,
16:59grant me the serenity
17:00to accept the things
17:01I cannot change.
17:03The courage
17:04to change the things
17:05I am.
17:06So I just wanted
17:14to remind you
17:15about the party
17:15Renee and I
17:16are throwing tomorrow night.
17:17You're still having
17:18that thing?
17:19A woman's on life support.
17:20Exactly.
17:21She's not dead.
17:22It's like you're making
17:22my argument for me.
17:24Put Roy and me
17:25down for a no.
17:26But please,
17:27call us when you have
17:28your Hurricane Katrina
17:29poll party.
17:32So,
17:33Renee and I
17:34are still having
17:35our party?
17:35Are you nuts?
17:37In case you haven't heard,
17:38our friend across the street,
17:39Betty Young,
17:39just blew her brains out.
17:41Beth Young.
17:42Oh,
17:42I got her name wrong.
17:43How disrespectful.
17:45Oh,
17:45I hope you don't tell
17:46that story tomorrow
17:47at your party.
17:51It's just a little
17:52neighborhood gathering?
17:53Gabrielle,
17:53what is wrong with you?
17:55Oh, boy.
17:56I know we didn't know
17:56Beth very well,
17:57but we did know
17:57Mary Alice,
17:58and this tragic event
17:59has brought up
18:00a lot of painful memories
18:01for all of us.
18:02How could you not
18:03realize that?
18:05Well,
18:05they can all go to hell.
18:06We're still having
18:07the party.
18:07Are you listening to me?
18:09I got four,
18:10are you out of your minds?
18:11Three,
18:11you make me want to puke,
18:12and one maybe,
18:13from Lee.
18:14The message is pretty clear.
18:16Yeah.
18:16Order less shrimp.
18:18No.
18:19Renee,
18:19we can't have this party.
18:20We should have canceled
18:21the moment we heard
18:21about Beth.
18:22Ah,
18:22nobody even liked her.
18:23It doesn't matter.
18:24It's in horrible taste.
18:25Why can't we just
18:26change a date?
18:27No!
18:28For ten years,
18:29I've had my spring fling
18:30the first Sunday of April.
18:31Not the second Sunday,
18:32not the third.
18:33And not when a bunch
18:34of wimps decide
18:35they're ready to stop moping.
18:36I'm not canceling the party.
18:38Nobody's going to be here.
18:40Oh, well,
18:40we'll see about that.
18:42My social life
18:43is not going to come
18:44to a stop just because
18:45some cuckoo bird
18:45decides to clean
18:46her ears with a handgun.
18:47Wow.
18:52For what?
18:53Making me
18:54the compassionate one.
19:03Wow.
19:04Is he asleep already?
19:05Yeah,
19:06he was exhausted.
19:07Not even Harry Potter
19:08could keep him awake tonight.
19:10Look,
19:11I'm not trying
19:12to upset you,
19:13and I'm not mad,
19:14but I need to know
19:15why you won't let me fight
19:16to get you the kidney.
19:21I don't know.
19:22It's just,
19:23uh,
19:24it just feels wrong.
19:26Well,
19:26it shouldn't.
19:27Beth wanted you to have it.
19:29Exactly.
19:29She killed herself
19:31so I could have her kidney.
19:32Why?
19:34And Paul's right.
19:35I never had so much
19:35as a pleasant exchange
19:37with the woman.
19:37I don't know
19:38that the reason matters.
19:39What matters is
19:40it was her final wish.
19:41But it doesn't make
19:42any sense.
19:44I can't take her kidney
19:49knowing that maybe
19:51I'm the reason
19:52she's lying
19:53in that hospital.
20:03Hey, hey,
20:04I'm reading.
20:05Oh,
20:06good evening, sir.
20:07Welcome aboard.
20:09Can I get you anything
20:10before we
20:11take off?
20:14You can help me
20:17put my bag
20:18under the seat.
20:20Okay,
20:20you're not good at this
20:21so let me do the talking.
20:23May I help you
20:24with your seatbelt?
20:27Oh, look,
20:28you're already
20:29in the upright
20:29and locked position.
20:30What's the name
20:34of this airline?
20:34I want to become
20:35a frequent flyer.
20:37Oh, this isn't
20:37a commercial airline, sir.
20:39Hotshot executives
20:40like you
20:41only fly
20:41on the corporate
20:42gym.
20:44Look at it,
20:45Lynette.
20:45Mm-hmm.
20:46I'm not taking
20:47that job.
20:50Well, then you'll be
20:51handling your own
20:51bags from now on.
20:52Lynette,
20:53we talked about this.
20:54I won't leave
20:55Carlos and Lurch.
20:56Okay, great.
20:59You're loyal.
21:00I love that.
21:01But your stock
21:02went way up today.
21:03If you're going
21:03to stay put,
21:04at least could you
21:04try to get something
21:05out of this?
21:06Well,
21:07I could tell Carlos
21:09about the offer.
21:10See if I'll match
21:10the number.
21:12Match the number?
21:13Oh, look.
21:16The seat just
21:17opened up.
21:18Oh.
21:30I wondered
21:30if you would come.
21:32You told me
21:32at the hospital
21:33that you're trying
21:33to have Beth
21:34declared dead
21:34and her life support
21:35turned off.
21:37Yes.
21:38Well,
21:39that's not going
21:41to happen.
21:41It has to.
21:42Why?
21:43Because she's dead.
21:44No.
21:45She's not.
21:48My daughter's dead.
21:50Your wife is dead.
21:53And we both
21:54know what killed her.
21:55If you're trying
21:56to blame me for this,
21:57if this is your last
21:58attempt to use her
21:59to hurt me...
21:59No.
22:01We don't get
22:02to use her anymore,
22:03Paul.
22:03This sick game
22:07you and I play,
22:08this hate we hurl
22:09at each other
22:10has finally found
22:11the victim.
22:11the only innocent
22:13person in the game.
22:15I did nothing.
22:16You refused
22:17to believe she loved you.
22:20I turned her away
22:21because she did.
22:25And now she's gone.
22:29She, uh...
22:30Maybe she can recover.
22:33I believe she can.
22:35You must believe it too
22:36or you wouldn't be
22:37in here praying for her.
22:38I'm not praying for her.
22:41I'm praying for forgiveness.
22:44We did this to her, Paul.
22:47Now we have to stop.
22:52And we have to let her rest.
22:54Hi.
23:07Can I come in?
23:10Sure.
23:15I'm on my way
23:16to a meeting
23:16and I was hoping
23:17you might join me.
23:18The deal was
23:19one meeting, Mom.
23:20I went and I'm done.
23:21You want to go back
23:23and aim for me?
23:25Nope.
23:27Elvis says
23:27left the building.
23:30Look,
23:31I don't need to go,
23:32all right?
23:33I'm fine.
23:34I hope you know
23:36that I don't have a problem
23:38is one of the biggest
23:39cliches in our playbook.
23:40Don't get me wrong.
23:41I have
23:41plenty of problems.
23:44I have no job.
23:46Alex works these crazy
23:4718-hour shifts
23:47at the hospital.
23:48What's my day?
23:51Long, endless
23:53stretches of nothing.
23:55I work out.
23:56I do laundry.
23:59I dusted the other day.
24:01Actually dusted
24:02and felt proud.
24:05How pathetic is that?
24:06I don't find that pathetic.
24:07No, you don't.
24:10Look,
24:11the one thing
24:12that gets me through
24:13is knowing
24:15that when the night
24:16rolls around
24:17I can just
24:18have a few drinks
24:18and kick back.
24:20And as long as
24:21I don't hurt anyone
24:21I think I'm allowed.
24:24Mom,
24:25trust me.
24:27I'll be okay.
24:31If you say so.
24:32What?
24:52You listen to me.
24:53There's been a terrible tragedy
24:55in our neighborhood.
24:56A woman felt desperate
24:57and alone
24:58and killed herself
24:58because nobody cared
24:59enough to help her.
25:00And the thing is
25:01I was there.
25:03I saw that something
25:04was wrong
25:04and I walked away.
25:08And I am never
25:08going to let myself
25:09do that again.
25:11And certainly
25:11not with you.
25:17Alex left me.
25:20Oh my.
25:22I guess he just got
25:23sick of living
25:24with the drunk.
25:24What did I do?
25:31I wrecked my marriage.
25:34Look,
25:34it's going to get better.
25:35I promise you
25:36it's going to get better.
25:39But for that to start
25:40you need to go
25:43to a meeting.
25:44I can't get up
25:45in front of a bunch
25:46of strangers
25:46and talk about this.
25:49Then
25:49we can have a meeting
25:52right here.
25:54Just the two of us.
25:55What do you say?
26:09Wow.
26:10Well, that's Glenford.
26:11He's nothing
26:11if not aggressive.
26:12Carlos,
26:12I swear
26:13I didn't seek this out.
26:15I know you didn't.
26:16And you're a stand-up guy
26:17for telling me.
26:18But it is
26:19a very generous offer
26:20and I figured
26:20if that's my value
26:21in the marketplace
26:22that maybe
26:23I should be
26:24doing a little
26:26better here.
26:28Look,
26:29our friendship aside,
26:29you are a valuable
26:30part of this company.
26:32And if I had the cash,
26:33you know I'd step up.
26:35But?
26:36You know how rough
26:37things have been.
26:38You've seen the empty desk.
26:39We just can't offer you
26:40that kind of money.
26:41But I don't want to lose you,
26:42so here's what I can offer.
26:45Title bump
26:45to Chief Marketing Officer,
26:46Car Allowance,
26:47and Profit Participation.
26:51How's that sound?
26:52It sounds like
26:53a bunch of crap.
26:54Ugh, Lynette.
26:55Of course he pleaded poverty.
26:57Did you play hardball?
26:58Did you grind him?
26:59Yes.
27:00That's how I got
27:01Profit Participation.
27:02Tom,
27:03I worked at that company.
27:04Remember,
27:05at the end of the year,
27:05Carlos takes the excess cash
27:07as a bonus,
27:07so there is no profit
27:09to participate in.
27:10What else did he offer you?
27:10A bogus new title?
27:12Not bogus.
27:13Chief Marketing Officer.
27:15CMO.
27:17And a car allowance.
27:19Oh, that's great.
27:21Here's your allowance, Tommy.
27:22Good luck on your paper route.
27:24You are over the line, Lynette.
27:26And you are walking away
27:27from real money
27:28and real power
27:29for pretend profits
27:30and a made-up title.
27:31Carlos might as well call you
27:33king of all important things
27:34and give you a pile
27:35of Monopoly money.
27:36Why do you keep pushing like this?
27:38Because if I don't,
27:39you go nowhere.
27:45Wow.
27:47So that's where you think I am?
27:50Nowhere.
27:50Oh, my God.
27:55You're not going to take that back.
27:57I think you are
27:58an amazing husband and father.
28:01But as a businessman,
28:03you're 46 years old
28:05and you're still trying
28:06to establish yourself.
28:07Opportunities like this
28:08don't keep falling from the sky.
28:10You got to grab them.
28:11By stabbing my friend in the back.
28:13Do you think Carlos
28:13would hesitate for a second
28:15if the roles were reversed?
28:17Not a chance.
28:17That's how he got where he is.
28:19He's ruthless.
28:19You want to see me get ruthless?
28:21Watch what happens
28:21if you don't drop this.
28:49Wow, this is some crowd.
28:58I told you.
29:00Well, I'm pretty close to capacity,
29:01so you're going to have
29:02to scoot along now.
29:03I'm just stunned
29:04so many people came.
29:05Well, it just shows you
29:06how little you know
29:07about the party circuit elite.
29:09Wait, is that the guy
29:10from Animal Control
29:11who picks up dead birds?
29:13What?
29:13No, these are mostly people
29:16I've met through the years
29:17in the Caribbean.
29:18Mrs. Solis,
29:19I was going to call you.
29:21Is it okay if I clean your pool
29:22on Thursday instead of Wednesday?
29:25Of course.
29:26I mean, if you think
29:27you'll make it back
29:27from St. Bart's by then.
29:33Don't give me that look.
29:35A good hostess knows
29:36that best parties
29:36have a mix of people.
29:38Honey, the only mix I see
29:39is the cotton-poly blend
29:41on every dress in this room.
29:43Excuse me.
29:47Renee?
29:49Renee, look.
29:51Hey, you two.
29:52Beat it.
29:53You have a cool house.
29:57I don't get it.
29:59Why have a party
30:00when the people you really want
30:01are too sad to come?
30:02Well, I'm not sad.
30:03And I'm not going to pretend to be.
30:05Renee, I know you didn't like Beth,
30:07but come on, she's dying.
30:08And whose fault is that?
30:10Everyone keeps acting
30:11like this horrible thing
30:12happened to her.
30:13It didn't just happen.
30:14She did it to herself.
30:16But think about how much pain
30:17she must have been in.
30:18Everyone has pain.
30:19But only a selfish bitch
30:21checks out
30:22and passes it on
30:23to everyone else.
30:24Beth didn't care who she hurt.
30:26Her mother,
30:26her husband,
30:27her daughter.
30:31She didn't have a daughter.
30:33Well, amen for that, at least.
30:34Honey, you told me
30:43your mom died
30:43when you were young.
30:46You never said how.
30:48Uh-huh.
30:50Did she take her own life?
30:55What do you think?
30:56Damn it.
31:01How hard is it
31:02to fill an ice bucket?
31:04You know,
31:05I lost a parent
31:05when I was a kid, too.
31:07My dad.
31:08I'm not making comparisons here
31:11and I understand
31:12if you don't want
31:12to talk about it.
31:13Good.
31:14Because I don't.
31:15But I think that
31:16if you do...
31:18And do what?
31:19I'll feel so much better
31:20if I let it all out.
31:22Well, that doesn't work for me.
31:23I'm not a hug
31:24and learn kind of gal.
31:25No, I guess you're
31:27a throw-party-and-forget
31:29kind of gal.
31:30Look, I will never forget
31:31what my mother did.
31:34I think about it every day.
31:37But I refuse to let it be
31:38what defines me.
31:41This spring fling
31:43might seem shallow
31:44and insensitive to you,
31:46but it's my way of saying
31:48I choose life over death.
31:52Now, if you'll excuse me,
31:53I've got to get back
31:54to my lame-ass party.
31:55Wait.
31:59It's not a lame-ass party anymore
32:01because I'm here now.
32:12Zero to 16 under five seconds,
32:13top speed of 160
32:15and no cup holder
32:16because you'll want
32:17both hands on the wheel.
32:19Sweet.
32:20Can I take it for a test drive?
32:22Oh, it would be
32:22our pleasure.
32:23Oh.
32:24So, it was the
32:25car for you?
32:26Your husband?
32:26Actually, no.
32:28It's for our neighbor.
32:37Hey, sweetie.
32:41Is something wrong?
32:42Guess who's got a brand-new
32:44slap in the face
32:45parked in front of his house.
32:46Carlos?
32:46What are you talking about?
32:48Carlos.
32:50The day after he cries
32:50poor to me,
32:51he goes out
32:51and buys himself
32:52a $70,000 lotus?
32:54I think the Aurora
32:55runs around 76,
32:56but what do I know?
32:57You were right, Lynette.
32:59I'm a pushover.
33:01I'm being loyal to a guy
33:02who does nothing
33:03but look out for himself.
33:05Wow.
33:05You must feel
33:06really betrayed.
33:07I got half a mind
33:08to call Glenn
33:08right now
33:09and take that offer.
33:10I say
33:11use your whole mind
33:13and do it.
33:19Glenn?
33:21Tom Scavo?
33:22I am in.
33:26Yes.
33:27Yeah, yes,
33:28I am excited, too.
33:30But you want to have lunch tomorrow?
33:31Hash out the details?
33:32I will see you then.
33:35Feels good, huh?
33:36Feels real good.
33:38You know what's
33:39going to feel even better?
33:40Telling Carlos
33:41to go screw himself.
33:43No!
33:44Wait!
33:44Wait!
33:45Don't try and stop me.
33:46I'm going to tell that guy
33:47just where he can
33:48stick his Aurora.
33:49Okay, but before you do,
33:50it's not Carlos's.
33:51I borrowed it
33:54from the dealer
33:54and I parked it there.
33:56What?
33:56I know.
33:57I'm sorry.
33:58It sounds very bad,
33:59but I did it
33:59for a very good reason.
34:01That you can manipulate me
34:02into doing whatever you want?
34:03Carlos didn't buy that car,
34:05but he could have
34:05without even feeling it
34:06because he's the kind of guy
34:08who doesn't let
34:09a good opportunity
34:09get by him.
34:10Meanwhile,
34:10you're his dutiful number,
34:12too,
34:12staring down the street
34:13at a car you wish you had.
34:15Get in.
34:16We're taking it back.
34:17Then I'm calling Glenn.
34:19Just one...
34:20Get in.
34:21This could be you
34:37driving this car,
34:39living this life,
34:41being that guy.
34:43I understand
34:45if you want to say no
34:46to all that,
34:47but I don't even think
34:48you've asked yourself,
34:49do I want it?
34:51It would be better
34:52if you didn't talk right now.
34:58Whoa.
34:59Whoa.
35:07I can't tell
35:08if we are going to drive
35:09or fly.
35:11What time does this have to be back?
35:41He said four, but they don't close till six.
35:45I'm guessing we could be a little late.
35:47Yeah.
35:48Let's be a little late.
36:01Hello, Susan.
36:04Would it be okay if I came in for a moment?
36:06Actually, I was...
36:07Sure.
36:15I've never been to your apartment.
36:18Yeah, well, it's not much.
36:21No, it's quite nice.
36:24I'm on my way to the hospital to see Beth, to say goodbye.
36:28I've alerted the transplant office that we'll be moving forward with her request.
36:32I'm sure as soon as I sign the papers, they'll be contacting you.
36:35I don't understand.
36:39You're getting your kidney.
36:42I thought you said...
36:43Susan.
36:46I would be very grateful to you if you could forget a lot of the things that I said.
36:52You were right, Paul.
36:54I was terrible to Beth.
36:56I was.
36:57I never gave her a chance.
37:00I never tried to get to know her.
37:02Why would she do this for me when I did nothing to deserve it?
37:11Beth didn't love people because they deserved it.
37:14Believe me.
37:15I know that.
37:17I'm so confused.
37:19I...
37:19I don't know if I can accept.
37:22Please, honor Beth's life by allowing her to make you well.
37:27For your son.
37:28For your family.
37:31For your friends.
37:34Yeah.
37:37Okay.
37:44Paul.
37:45Yes.
37:49I am so very, very sorry about your wife.
37:58Yes.
38:01I am too.
38:13There comes a moment when our lives change forever.
38:20The moment we admit our weaknesses.
38:25The moment we rise to a challenge.
38:31The moment we accept a sacrifice.
38:38Or let a loved one go.
38:41And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.
38:53Miss Tillman.
38:55I thought I'd find you here.
38:57So sorry for your loss.
38:59Thank you, Wharton.
39:01I'm sure this is a small consolation.
39:03But I've just heard from the parole board.
39:05They've decided to grant your request for humanitarian release.
39:10Ironic, isn't it?
39:12My daughter had to die so I could go free.
39:15Again, my condolences.
39:17Thank you very much.
