00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives
00:03Ben took money from a loan shark
00:05If you're not good for it, I understand that pretty girlfriend of yours is loaded
00:09Julie had more than one surprise for Susan
00:12I'm giving it up for adoption
00:13What?
00:14You slammed your doors in my face
00:16Bree rejected her friends
00:18Let go of me
00:19But it was Orson who came to her rescue
00:21Your friends called me
00:23Orson Hodge had always known one thing
00:30Bree Vandekamp was the perfect woman for him
00:35When he was sick, she nursed him back to health
00:41When he was arrested, she promised to wait for him
00:48And when he suffered a terrible injury
00:53She did everything he couldn't
00:56So now that Bree was suffering
01:00Orson intended to care for her
01:03I found that whatever the problem
01:07A cup of tea always makes things a little better
01:10Thank you
01:11To think if you hadn't been there
01:14What that terrible man might have done
01:16Don't think about that
01:17You're safe now
01:19I'm here
01:20You really are a good friend
01:23Perhaps my only one
01:25What a thing to say
01:27You're still close with Gabrielle, Lynette and Susan, aren't you?
01:32Is something wrong?
01:35We're estranged
01:38Really?
01:40I thought the four of you were inseparable
01:43I know, but something happened a few months ago
01:45Bree?
01:46I can't talk about it
01:49After everything we've been through
01:51I promise you can trust me
01:53I don't want you to know
01:55You're the only one who still believes in me
01:58And I always will
02:00Please, I can see this is tearing you up for your own good, tell me
02:04About six months ago
02:05About six months ago
02:09We threw a dinner party
02:14But before the guests arrived at Gabby's
02:17Something terrible happened
02:19Something terrible happened
02:28Orson, I understand you're shocked, but please talk to me
02:31I am shocked
02:33You agree to help cover up Carlos' crime and then they just abandon you?
02:37How can your friends do that?
02:38You're angry at them?
02:40You're angry at them?
02:41Yes, they took advantage of you and then hung you out to dry
02:45It's appalling
02:46So even after hearing what I've done, you still believe in me?
02:50Yes, Orson Hodge knew that Bree was the perfect woman for him
02:54And now that he had her back
02:57I believe in you more than ever
02:59He had no intention of letting her go
03:15Lynette Scavo had discovered the silver lining of separation
03:21Shared custody
03:24For three glorious days a week
03:27She had no child demanding her attention
03:33No one to set an example for
03:38And plenty of time to exercise
03:43But Lynette forgot that when it comes to being a mother
03:47You can run
03:48Hey mom
03:50But you can never hide
03:52Hey guys, what's going on?
03:54Nothing
03:55Geez, we need a reason to bring flowers to the woman who gave us life
03:59Aww
04:01Suitcases, why are there suitcases?
04:05Okay, we had a little disagreement with our landlord and we were kind of evicted
04:09No, no, no, no, no, go away! You are not moving back here!
04:18Mom, come on!
04:19I spent 18 years getting you out of here, there's no damn way I'm letting you back in on!
04:24Come on!
04:26Okay, mom
04:28We understand
04:29Yeah, we have to learn to live on our own
04:31No!
04:41No!
04:42Come on, just for a week!
04:43I know you guys, a week would turn into a year, a year into 20 and pretty soon you're taking me off the respirator saying it's what mom would have wanted!
04:50Please let us in, we're children of divorce
04:55Exactly, go to your dad's
04:57But we like you so much more
04:59Don't give me that!
05:00No, seriously, dad has a stupid girlfriend
05:02And he's been so unfair to you
05:08You had me in stupid girlfriend
05:13Oh!
05:14Hey, sweetie, what you doing?
05:16Oh, the adoption agency sent me a few more couples to check out
05:20Okay, that guy's got serial killer eyes
05:22Oh, he does not, that's from the Flash
05:24Fine, you want your baby to be on the run
05:26Any other choices?
05:28I like them
05:29Oh, gay couple
05:31Uh, that's not a man
05:33Oh, too bad, they're great with kids
05:35Okay, that's it, nobody's ever gonna be good enough for you
05:38So you've totally ruled out keeping it?
05:39Yes, totally
05:40And I get no say in the matter
05:42Now you're talking
05:45You need to stop hassling her
05:48I just wish there was something I could do to keep her from giving this baby away
05:53Hey, what if I talk to the father?
05:56Susan
05:57Oh, does he even know that she's doing this?
05:59Maybe if I find him, I tell him and then he'll stop her
06:03That's a very bad idea
06:05Says you
06:07What do your friends think?
06:09I don't know, not allowed to tell them
06:11Julie wants to keep this a big secret
06:12So you are the only one I am allowed to talk to
06:15And I would really appreciate it if you would agree with me
06:18Look, this is killing me too
06:20But it's her decision
06:22You keep pushing her
06:23That's not just a grandkid you're gonna lose
06:25Girls, let's go home, now
06:34Alright, I'm gonna count to three
06:36One
06:38Two
06:40Two and a half
06:42Two and three quarters
06:44Three quarters
06:45You don't know any more fractions, do you?
06:48Alright, that is it, smartass
06:49I am calling your father
06:51You better watch out, cause this phone has a whoop-ass app
06:53Happy now
06:56Hi sweetie, I am just getting ready to meditate
07:02Can I call you back?
07:03No, no, no, no, enough nurturing your inner child
07:05I need you to come home and whack a couple of your outer ones
07:08I can't come home until my treatment is complete
07:12That's another 16 days
07:14In 16 days, I can't guarantee you're gonna have children to come home too
07:17You wouldn't believe that things are going through my mind
07:19Gabby
07:20I'm just saying, I've got rocks, they've got backpacks and there's a lake on the way to school
07:24Look, I know that it has been tough on you with me being in rehab
07:28You have no idea, I am losing my mind
07:32I'm looking after your business, I'm running the house, I'm trying to keep the girls in line
07:37Let me talk to Juanita
07:39Juanita, talk to your father
07:42Hey daddy
07:53Anything biting?
07:55Karen kicked me out
07:56Oh my god, what happened?
07:58I don't know
08:00Seems like everything I do lately gets her mad
08:03Lately? She's a grouchy old lady
08:05That's why we love and fear her
08:08Nah, this is different
08:09I think it's gonna take a while for her to cool down
08:12And in the meantime, I got no place to go
08:17Yeah, well, you know it's fun to stay at the YMCA
08:21Not for me, I slept there once
08:23Woke up at 2 in the morning with a guy massaging my feet
08:26Well, at least she gave me my fishing pole so I won't starve to death
08:31The church has a koi pond, right?
08:35There's that frontier spirit
08:36Okay, Gabby, it's obvious you're not picking up my hints
08:39No, I am, I'm just ignoring them
08:42Look, I'd offer you a room at my place, but my kids are young and loud
08:46And I'm old and deaf, it's perfect
08:49Thanks, Gabby
08:50I'd ask Bree if I could crash with her, but she's got Orson over there
08:53You need to be helping your mother out more, helping her around the house
09:00Thanks, honey, you've been a big help, I gotta call the girls, bye
09:02Gabby
09:04Ladies, I saw you through the window and just had to come out to say hello
09:13Orson, you're back
09:16I am back, keenly observed Susan
09:19She just meant it's unexpected seeing you after all this time
09:23Building a ramp, you and Bree
09:25Going to be spending more time together?
09:27Yes, as you know she's been going through a rough patch of late
09:31The other night she was at a bar and there was an incident
09:35An incident?
09:36Something unpleasant with an aggressive stranger
09:39She's fine
09:41Thank God I happen to be driving by
09:43Thank God is right
09:44But as you can imagine, she's still a little shaken up
09:46So I'm going to be spending some time here until the dust settles
09:49Can we see her?
09:51You know, I don't think she's up for that yet
09:55I'm not surprised
09:57Yeah, last time we saw her, it didn't go so well
10:00Will you at least tell her we love her and we're here for her?
10:04I'll be sure to relay the message
10:06Thanks, bye
10:15Who are you talking to?
10:17Just the men installing my ramp
10:19Now, how about I make us some lunch?
10:28No, you've got to deliver that cement tomorrow
10:31But I don't know why Ben didn't pay you
10:33But I drove back to the site
10:34And I'm going to find your check
10:36And I'll get it to you tonight
10:42Hey!
10:43Hey, this is private property!
10:44What the hell?
10:45Damn it, Mike!
10:46Why'd you have to come back?
10:47What the hell?
10:48What the hell?
10:49Damn it, Mike!
10:50Why'd you have to come back?
10:51What the hell?
10:53What the hell?
10:54Damn it, Mike!
10:55Why'd you have to come back?
10:56Why'd you have to come back?
10:57Are you out of your mind?
10:58This doesn't concern you
11:00You almost killed me, so I say it does
11:01You almost killed me, so I say it does
11:02What the hell?
11:03What the hell?
11:05What the hell?
11:06What the hell?
11:07Damn it, Mike!
11:08Why'd you have to come back?
11:09What the hell?
11:10What the hell?
11:11What the hell?
11:12Damn it, Mike!
11:13Why'd you have to come back?
11:24Are you out of your mind?
11:25This doesn't concern you
11:26you. You almost killed me so I say it does. I'm in over my head with this loan shark and his late
11:34fee comes with a crowbar. So some of this equipment blows up, the insurance company writes me a big
11:40check and I'm able to keep my knees a little longer. That's fraud Ben. I know what it's called.
11:45I just didn't know what else to do. Well not this. Then what? Because I've been trying to fix this
11:51for weeks Mike but it just keeps getting worse. I've lost every cent I have. I've lost Renee.
11:56I've screwed everything up.
12:01Are you okay? It just feels tight. That's not good is it? No it's not.
12:09Oh let's get you to the hospital.
12:14Thanks. I see the twins are home. Really? What gave it away? Guys? Get your boxers off the table.
12:23They're not mine. Me neither. I'm wearing. Oh wait. Be right down.
12:28I swear they're like termites just when I think I've gotten rid of them. At least they come back to you
12:34when they're in trouble. And that's a good thing? Yes. Because they listen to you. They let you help
12:40them. They don't keep their problems secret for six months and then completely shut you out
12:45ignoring all your advice. What's wrong? I'm not supposed to tell you that Julie's pregnant
12:53and she's giving the baby up for adoption. Wow. Where's the dad in all this? Who's the dad
12:59is more like it. She won't tell me anything. I'm sorry. You're right. When Julie was born
13:06they took her away to give her a vitamin shot and that was the longest hour of my life. And now she's
13:14talking about giving the baby away for good. I mean she just has no idea how hard that's going to be.
13:20Do you want me to talk to her? She might react differently to someone who's not her mom.
13:24No. In fact you can't even tell her I told you. Julie doesn't want anyone knowing she's pregnant.
13:30Oh morning. How'd you sleep? Terribly. I'd ask you but I already know. How can someone use a bathroom
13:42five times in one night? Heart of a lion. Bladder of a fruit fly. Oh. Well you do know they make bath
13:50robes with belts on them. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to let the old Komodo dragon peek out of the cage.
13:56Don't mention it. Ever. Again. Girls. School starts in 20 minutes. Why aren't you dressed?
14:05Because then we'd be ready. Then we'd have to go. And we'd hate school. Here. I made breakfast.
14:10Ooh. Toast. Let me know when your cookbook comes out.
14:16Okay. Let's talk about how we're getting you off my couch and back with the lady you love. What's our plan?
14:21Doesn't look good. I've been calling all morning. She doesn't even pick up the phone.
14:25Rory, you gotta put some effort into it. Woo her. March over there and sweep her off her feet.
14:29I don't think it's gonna work. No, no. Here's what doesn't work. Me being awakened at 2am by that pep talk
14:34you give your dragon when you're trying to pee. Oh. You want me out. I'm sorry. It's just my life's
14:41really stressful right now. No apologies. It was very kind of you to take me in. I'm sure I can find
14:48another place to stay. Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I told you to get dressed.
14:55I don't wanna. Damn it, girls. Listen to your mother.
14:58You can't talk to me like that. You're not my dad.
15:00Exactly. So I don't give a crap if you live or die. Here. You see the Nazis on this belt? Those are
15:08all the men I killed in Korea. First time it was a little rough. But after that, you develop a taste
15:16for blood. So listen up, soldiers. You are gonna march up those stairs, put on your school gear,
15:23and be backed down by eight sharp. Is that clear? All right. Now move.
15:32Well, I guess I better go start packing. No. No, no, no, no. I can't send a war veteran
15:37out on the street. As long as America is free, you have a place here.
15:45Let me finish. See, this is why I didn't tell you. I knew you were gonna freak.
15:51Because it's not your decision. I don't care if you're the father.
15:55Okay, you know what? I'm not doing this on the phone. Just meet me at the coffee cup in
15:58a half an hour.
15:59Hey.
16:25Using this chair?
16:29Uh, no. Go ahead.
16:36Mrs. Delfino?
16:38Porter, shh. I don't want Julie to know I'm here.
16:41Why not?
16:42She's meeting a guy. I need to find out who it is.
16:45Oh, hey, Porter. Over here.
16:50Mom?
16:50Mom?
16:55Oh, my God. You're the guy.
17:02Porter Scavo is the father of my grandchild.
17:07I can't believe you spied on me.
17:11And I can't believe you shacked up with a kid who used to babysit.
17:14Can I just say something?
17:16Are you two in a relationship?
17:17Oh, God, no. Never in a million years.
17:19I can hear you.
17:20We ran into each other at a bar, okay?
17:22And I had just broken up with Will, and I was feeling really depressed,
17:25and Porter bought me a few drinks.
17:26And then we went back to my place and...
17:28Apparently I forgot everything I taught you about condoms.
17:30No.
17:31It broke.
17:32Oh, God, what'd you expect?
17:34It's Porter Scavo.
17:35He probably found it on the floor of a movie theater.
17:38Great.
17:47You better get used to it.
17:50This snot-nosed kid, the boy who got his head stuck in our fence,
17:54is the father of your baby.
17:55No, the father will be an adoptive parent
17:57who has gone through extensive interviews and a background check.
17:59Both of you, stop.
18:00No more fighting.
18:01All this stress is bad for my baby.
18:04Your baby?
18:05Yeah.
18:06I want to keep it.
18:07You do?
18:09Yeah.
18:10Oh, I was just doing some research online.
18:11You might want to eat something called folic acid,
18:13or the baby could have a weird head.
18:14You can't be serious.
18:15There is no way we're raising a baby together.
18:18Then I'll do it myself.
18:19Oh, please.
18:19You can't do that.
18:20Well, uh, legally, he can.
18:24I mean, fathers do have rights.
18:26Mom, what are you doing?
18:27Nothing.
18:28I'm just reminding Porter that he does have a say in this,
18:31and letting him know that if he wants to raise the baby,
18:34he'll have my support.
18:35And unlimited babysitting.
18:37No, no, no, no.
18:38This is none of your business.
18:39Stay out of it.
18:42Porter, if you're serious about this, I will help you.
18:45Just tell me what you need.
18:49Could you tell my mom?
18:50Oh, hey, I brought those contracts.
18:55Your secretary says to sign them so I can bring them back tomorrow.
18:58Thanks, babe.
18:59Listen, I want you to understand.
19:01I get how much you've had to do with me in here.
19:04But I talked to my counselor, and he said that I don't have to do the full 16 days.
19:08I can get out a few days early, help out with the girls.
19:12Oh, honey, you don't worry about that.
19:14Really?
19:15Because yesterday on the phone, you had that whole drowning fantasy.
19:18I know, but I got help at home.
19:20What, a nanny?
19:21Better.
19:22A sergeant.
19:23I got Roy.
19:25McCluskey kicked him out, so I took him in.
19:27You wouldn't believe I was getting the girls in line.
19:29McCluskey kicked him out?
19:29Why?
19:30Who knows?
19:31By the way, the big oil stain in the garage, he had the girls in there all afternoon.
19:35It's gone.
19:36Wow.
19:36Those two seem so perfect for each other.
19:39And it's perfect for me.
19:41Roy's a genius.
19:42Simply by yelling at the girls and threatening them with violence, he has made our home a happy place.
19:46But aren't you the least bit interested in what drove them apart?
19:50I know what's going to drive us apart.
19:51If you keep asking those kinds of questions.
19:53Hey, I, uh, I need to talk to you about Ben.
20:01After what he did to me, I don't care.
20:05He's in the hospital.
20:08He is?
20:10What happened?
20:11He was at the site last night and he started having chest pains.
20:15I'd say it's not a heart attack, but they want to monitor him for a couple of days.
20:19But Ben's a young guy.
20:21He's healthy.
20:21Why is he having chest pains?
20:24He's been under a lot of stress.
20:26Oh, is that the money thing?
20:28Yeah, it's worse than you think.
20:30He's in pretty deep to this guy.
20:32Guy?
20:33What kind of guy?
20:34Let's just say he's not exactly a licensed banker, which is what I wanted to talk to you about.
20:40Ben's in trouble.
20:41This is nice.
20:47It's like we've never left.
20:49Like all of those terrible things I told you about never happened.
20:52And we've been here in this kitchen.
20:54Safe.
20:56It does feel very comfortable.
20:58Or like a pair of old jeans.
20:59Well, we can only assume since neither one of us has ever owned a pair of old jeans.
21:05I want to run something by you.
21:07Of course.
21:09Given everything you've been through lately, how would you feel about a change of scenery?
21:12How big of a change?
21:14Maine.
21:15Maine.
21:17My aunt recently passed.
21:18Oh.
21:19Ah, no need for sympathy.
21:20She was a wretched woman.
21:22And she left her coastal cabin to me.
21:24Well, it might be nice to get away for a couple weeks.
21:26Yes.
21:27And if you like it, maybe we could make it more permanent.
21:30You know, move there.
21:34Are you talking about us getting back together?
21:36Because I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
21:38All I'm talking about is a fresh start.
21:42A new chapter in your life.
21:43I don't know, Orson.
21:45It's such a massive change.
21:47I'd be saying goodbye to all my friends.
21:50You mean the women who involved you in a murder cover-up and then abandoned you?
21:53Well, in all fairness, they did attempt that intervention I told you about.
21:57Mm-hmm.
21:57And yet, they haven't come by since, have they?
22:01Come on.
22:02Come to the cabin.
22:04Just for a few weeks.
22:05See if you like it.
22:09You know what?
22:11Let's do it.
22:12Wonderful.
22:13I'll book the flight.
22:16How's the sauce?
22:19Mmm.
22:20It's all coming together perfectly.
22:25What was that for?
22:34For giving me the day off?
22:35I was able to hit the entire left side of the mall.
22:38And if you're willing to keep torturing my kids, tomorrow I'll hit the right side.
22:42Hey, Mom.
22:44What's all this?
22:45The girls and I tackled that dead tree out back.
22:48I taught them some basic forestry procedure.
22:51The older one is pretty good with an axe.
22:55You might want to keep an eye on that.
22:57Well, I can't thank you enough.
23:00You are absolutely welcome to stay here for the next 16 days.
23:04Yeah, well, I don't know if I'm going to make it that long.
23:07I'm thinking about begging Karen to take me back.
23:10What?
23:11I really miss her.
23:13No, you don't.
23:15I mean, what's there to miss?
23:18You know, the foul moods and the nagging and the...
23:21Yeah, she can be a little gruff.
23:25And God knows I got my own baggage.
23:27But today, when I was telling the girls we could have a cozy fire tonight,
23:33all I could think about was having one with Karen.
23:41Well...
23:41Uh, I think you just need to get your mind off her.
23:45You know what would help?
23:47A nice long bath.
23:48Yeah, come on.
23:49Come on.
23:50You can use my lavender bath salt.
23:52Oh, I do like lavender.
23:54That reminds me of a funny story.
23:56Hilarious.
23:57Okay, into the bath.
23:58Chop, chop.
24:05Karen, is that for me?
24:06How thoughtful.
24:07No, it's for Roy.
24:08Kind of a peace offering.
24:09No.
24:10I mean, don't back down.
24:12I've only lived with a guy for one day,
24:14and I can tell he's a handful.
24:15Well, the truth is, I'm the handful.
24:18And I really need to talk to him.
24:19I have to clear the air about a few things.
24:22Mm.
24:23Ah, I don't think that's gonna work.
24:24Why not?
24:25Is he still angry?
24:26Livid.
24:27Yeah.
24:28He took an axe to a tree in my backyard.
24:31He just kept hacking at it and muttering,
24:34Take that, Karen.
24:35Under his breath.
24:36Really?
24:37Yeah.
24:38You should go and look.
24:39Nothing left but a stump.
24:40Oh, okay.
24:45You know what?
24:45Don't worry.
24:46You let me work on him.
24:47I bet you he'll come around in, I don't know, 16 days.
24:52Well, can you give this to him anyhow?
24:53His French apple, it's his favorite.
24:55I will make sure he gets it.
24:57Yeah.
24:59Make this disappear.
25:07If you insist.
25:15Hey.
25:17Hey.
25:19You okay?
25:20I say they want to run more tests, but I'm fine.
25:23Well, you look like crap.
25:25Thanks.
25:26So, other than boosting my spirits, what are you here for?
25:29Mike told me you borrowed money from a loan shark.
25:33Mike should learn to keep his mouth shut.
25:34Look, I don't want you reading anything into this.
25:37I just don't want to see you dead.
25:39From that guy or stress.
25:40So, how much do you need?
25:42From you?
25:44Not a cent.
25:45Ben, don't be stupid.
25:47You're in trouble.
25:48I can help you.
25:49You want to help me?
25:52Wait till I get myself out of this mess.
25:54Then let me come back to you and apologize to you for what I did.
25:58Then allow me to propose to you again.
26:02This time is the kind of man you deserve.
26:06Wow.
26:07I mean it.
26:07I'm still crazy about you.
26:09That's terrific.
26:11But if you don't pay those thugs what you owe them, they're going to disassemble you.
26:15And if we're getting back together, I want the whole package.
26:20Not just parts.
26:21Don't worry about me.
26:23I can take care of myself.
26:25Yeah.
26:26You're doing a hell of a job.
26:34Is there a better way to wake up from a nap than to the smell of fresh-baked cosmos?
26:40The question is rhetorical, but the answer is still no.
26:43Pets!
26:45I've left some for you.
26:47These are for the girls.
26:49The girls?
26:50Yes.
26:51I've been doing some thinking, and it's time for reconciliation.
26:57What a good heart you have, my dear.
27:00But you also have a good head, and maybe you should give this a second thought.
27:04No, I've given it a lot of thought, and there's blame enough for all four of us in what happened.
27:08Besides, if you think about it, they actually helped save me.
27:12How?
27:12By calling you.
27:14You told me so yourself that night outside the bar.
27:16If they hadn't, who knows what might have happened to me.
27:19Well, I suppose one could make that argument, but...
27:22But nothing.
27:23I'm going to thank them for bringing you back into my life and tell them about our trip together.
27:28Besides, it was time one of us made the first move.
27:33They already did.
27:34I'm sorry?
27:37They came by the other day when I was outside checking the ramp.
27:41I didn't tell you because it was an unkind visit.
27:46What are you talking about?
27:48At first, I thought they were here to apologize for how they treated you.
27:51But then the comments started.
27:54How you deserve what happened.
27:56And how they regret calling me because now I was stuck with you.
27:59They said those things.
28:04And more.
28:05Worse.
28:11I swore I wasn't going to tell you, Ray.
28:14But I couldn't let you humiliate yourself by extending kindness to people so undeserving of it.
28:23I'm glad you denied it from me.
28:29You're always trying to protect me, aren't you?
28:37Lynette.
28:38I'm so glad you could come over.
28:39Well, you said you wanted to talk.
28:40What's going on?
28:41Come sit down.
28:42Put your feet up.
28:45Have a cookie.
28:46Okay.
28:49Look at us.
28:51Being friends.
28:54Eating cookies.
28:55Can you imagine us being even closer than we are right now?
29:03Um.
29:04I think we're pretty close already.
29:06I'm just saying.
29:07Wouldn't it be great if we were family?
29:10Okay, Susan.
29:11If you need a ride to the airport.
29:13No.
29:13Not that.
29:15I just want to share some amazing news.
29:19About our children.
29:21No.
29:22No, no, no.
29:24He can't be having a baby.
29:25Here.
29:26Breathe in the best.
29:29Okay.
29:30It's going to be okay.
29:32Julie's going to give the baby up for adoption.
29:34I don't know why people do this.
29:35Uh, actually, in a very mature move, Porter says he wants to keep the baby.
29:41What?
29:41Yeah.
29:42He wants to raise it himself.
29:44He can't raise a baby.
29:46He can't even take care of himself.
29:47All he eats are frozen waffles.
29:49Still frozen.
29:50Okay.
29:50You just need to calm down.
29:52No, what I need is a time machine to go back there so I can slap some sense into that idiot.
29:56In fact, I'm going to do the slapping part right now.
29:58No, no, no.
29:59No.
29:59You can't be mad at Porter.
30:01I mean, you should have heard the way he was talking about the baby.
30:04He's so excited.
30:05Yeah.
30:06And he'll stay excited for about a week.
30:07Just like he did with the puppy we gave him in fifth grade.
30:10Know what happened to that puppy?
30:11No.
30:12No one does.
30:13And what was Julie thinking?
30:15Julie?
30:15Yeah.
30:15She should have some sense.
30:16She's getting a PhD.
30:18My kid eats wafsicles.
30:20You're missing the point here.
30:21Remember, your son and my daughter, they made this sweet little baby together and we could
30:27help raise it.
30:28I already have a sweet little baby who's only months away from daycare.
30:35I am not going right back to the beginning.
30:37I see.
30:39You're afraid of being inconvenienced.
30:43So you want to give the baby away to strangers.
30:47No.
30:49I want to give that baby away to people who are ready to be parents.
30:52It's better for Porter.
30:53It's better for Julie.
30:54And it sure as hell better for that baby.
30:55Hey!
31:10Look at what I'm doing.
31:11Pay attention to me.
31:12Tell me I'm great.
31:12What is happening?
31:13I'm thirsty.
31:14I want a glass of water now.
31:15Water, water, water.
31:17Oh, you're a baby.
31:18I get it.
31:19No, Porter, you don't get it.
31:21When this baby comes, it's going to want food and clothes and a home to live in because
31:26babies are selfish that way.
31:28I think I can handle it.
31:30Are you serious?
31:31You've never been able to commit to anything.
31:33Maybe if Julie was giving birth to a video game or a new porn site.
31:36But there is no way in hell you are ready for this.
31:39Can I talk now?
31:39Yes, go ahead.
31:40But if I happen to roll my eyes and snort, just know I was provoked.
31:43Everything you said is true.
31:45I'm not ready for this.
31:47I have $17 in my checking account and no clue how to write a resume.
31:51Yeah, a couple of days ago, that didn't bother me.
31:53But now, it's all I can think about.
31:54Well, you're going to have to do more than think.
31:56I will.
31:57I'll get a job.
31:57I'll take classes.
31:58I'll do whatever it takes.
32:02Okay.
32:03Okay, that's great.
32:04But...
32:05When you are a parent, there is so much you are going to have to give up.
32:14Your whole life just...
32:18And it's going to change forever.
32:22It already has.
32:24She's not even born yet, and I can't believe how much I'm dying to see her.
32:30Mom, I love her.
32:34I really, really love her.
32:46I hope you're happy.
32:47Porter hired a lawyer.
32:49He wants to raise the baby.
32:50Okay, is that such a terrible thing?
32:52I mean, he's not going to be doing it on his own.
32:55I'll help.
32:56You think that makes it better?
32:57Now, when I come home, I'll have to see her.
33:00Do you have any idea how painful that's going to be?
33:03I just want to forget this ever happened.
33:09Julie, it's your daughter.
33:11You're never going to forget.
33:14You don't know that.
33:16Yes, I do.
33:18Because I've had a daughter.
33:21You can't possibly understand this until you have one, too.
33:24But every single day that you're not with me, I think about you.
33:29I wonder what you're doing.
33:33I worry if you're safe.
33:36And I hope you are happy.
33:42No!
33:44This was my decision to make.
33:47And you took it away.
33:48I can't forgive you for that.
34:00Oh, there you are.
34:01I can't get Celia to take a bath.
34:03Do you still have that dummy grenade?
34:04You okay?
34:10I just didn't think it was going to end like this.
34:14After all these years, I thought I'd finally found the one.
34:20Oh, it's just a rough patch.
34:22You two will come out of this stronger than ever.
34:24I don't know about that.
34:26But at my age, falling in love is not about all that drama young people go through.
34:33It's about finding the one who'll be there, holding your hand at the end.
34:40I thought Karen would be that person for me.
34:46Well, I guess I was wrong.
34:48So, we got your MRI back.
35:04And I'm afraid the results are not what we'd hoped for.
35:09The cancer's back.
35:11It's metastasized to the brain.
35:12So, the drugs have stopped working, huh?
35:19I'm afraid so.
35:21But we'll start you on an aggressive course of radiation right away.
35:25And there are new therapies we can try.
35:29Thanks for giving it to me straight.
35:33Karen, we've been through this before.
35:38And you are a fighter.
35:40But this is going to be tough.
35:41You're going to need a lot of support from Roy.
35:46Actually, Roy's out of the picture.
35:49He and I split.
35:51Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
35:53I'm not.
35:55He had to watch his first wife get sick and die.
35:58He doesn't need to go through that again.
36:02Trust me.
36:06This is for the best.
36:11If you don't mind, I'd like to just pay the entire bill today and close out this account.
36:26And I assume you'll honor our agreement to keep this just between you and me?
36:31Yeah, sure.
36:33You have a lovely home.
36:35I can tell you like the finer things.
36:38You're married to that Yankee, right?
36:41I heard he cheated on you.
36:43Man, you must have cleaned up in that divorce.
36:46Yeah.
36:47It always amazes me how much power is in this little piece of paper.
36:55I mean, with it, all your problems disappear.
36:58Without it.
37:00Your Rossi friend?
37:00He ends up begging one of my guys not to shoot him in a kneecap.
37:08Uh, you have your money.
37:11Are we done?
37:13Sure, we're done.
37:14Normally, I'd never take a check, but you seem like a classy lady.
37:19And I know where you live.
37:20I remember this.
37:31I bought it for you in Milan.
37:34Cashmere.
37:35It's one of my favorites.
37:38Much too fussy for where we're going.
37:41You want to stick with more comfortable, casual things, Green.
37:47Is everything okay?
37:48Yes.
37:49It's just that I don't think I've ever seen you this confident.
37:55Well, I'm not the same man I was two years ago.
37:58I've let go of a lot.
38:00Changed my life completely.
38:01How did you do that?
38:03Well, it started when I learned to drive again.
38:07Really?
38:08I know it sounds strange, but for me and my condition, that freedom changed everything.
38:19Driving was a way for me to move forward with my life, to let go of the past.
38:24Being on the road gave me a new perspective.
38:35I started to see the silver lining in even the worst situations.
38:39I learned to be calmer, more patient.
38:46I even began spending more time in nature.
38:51And I started reaching out to old friends.
38:58It took time.
39:06But little by little, I became a new man.
39:10What an inspiring story.
39:14Perhaps when we're in Maine, you can help me start the process of changing my life.
39:19Oh, Bree, don't you see?
39:20The process has already started for you.
39:25I suppose it has.
39:28Trust me, darling.
39:29You won't believe where it's going to end up.
39:31You won't believe where it's going to end up.
