00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives, Renee had good news.
00:04We're getting married.
00:06Oh, how wonderful.
00:08Gabby's talent for shopping became an opportunity.
00:11A personal shopper job?
00:12For you, my dear, it is a calling.
00:14Things heated up between Tom and Lynette.
00:16Oh, my God, I'm on fire!
00:20MJ and Susan began their recovery after Mike's death.
00:24Oh, sweetie.
00:26The police questioned Bree and advanced their case.
00:29Judge Kemp just signed off on that warrant.
00:31That was fast.
00:32Sooner I can prove she's guilty, sooner I can watch her pay for it.
00:41When it came to throwing a bridal shower,
00:44Bree Vandekamp believed that everything should be done with taste and dignity.
00:50There should be personalized party favors,
00:54delicate pastel flowers,
00:59elegant refreshments.
01:03And she insisted on traditional gifts,
01:06even if they received an untraditional response.
01:10What the hell?
01:12Mixing bowls?
01:13Nesting mixing bowls.
01:14Come on, this is a shower.
01:16Isn't there one gift over there that's, uh, you know, buzzing?
01:21Oh, I know, just the one.
01:23Uh, here we go.
01:25I use mine all the time.
01:26I used to do it by hand.
01:28But this gets the job done so much faster.
01:30Ah, now we're talking.
01:33It's a brand new immersion blender.
01:38Now you can puree soups right in the pot.
01:42So, is every gift gonna be kitchen-related?
01:45Well, that's the theme,
01:46that I had letter-pressed on the invitations.
01:48Okay, I might have to send someone out on a beer run.
01:51Well, I am sorry to disappoint you,
01:52but if you're looking for that kind of shower,
01:54you're in the wrong place.
01:55Oh, Bree, can I talk to you for a second?
01:57Okay.
01:57Okay, so I had a feeling your shower might be kind of a dud,
02:05so I may have sort of hired a male stripper.
02:08Gabby, you didn't.
02:10There he is, so yay!
02:12No!
02:13Male strippers are beyond degrading,
02:14and I don't choose to be humiliated in my own home.
02:17No, please, get rid of them.
02:18Oh.
02:24Bree Vandecamp, you have a warrant for your arrest.
02:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:27She also has the right to remain horny.
02:29Listen, change of plans.
02:30Ma'am, I'm gonna need you to stand aside.
02:32Just take the money and go.
02:33And tell the agency three dumpy strippers
02:35does not equal one hot one.
02:39You're under arrest for the murder of Ramon Sanchez.
02:42What?
02:43Oh, my God!
02:44Bree, what's going on?
02:46Oh, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.
02:48Is there anything we can do?
02:50Yes, I just put the mini quiches in the oven.
02:52Would you be a dear and take them out before they burn?
02:57Yes, Bree Vandecamp believed in doing everything with dignity.
03:04Even in the most undignified of circumstances.
03:08Sometimes, no matter how much we plan,
03:25things don't turn out the way we expect.
03:30A sterling reputation
03:32may become tarnished.
03:35A clear explanation
03:38might get messy.
03:43An ideal arrangement
03:44could fall apart in a flash.
03:49And one person may end up paying the price
03:53for a crime that everyone thought was shared.
04:00Honey, are you okay?
04:02Yeah, thanks to Bob.
04:04They bailed me out.
04:05What happened?
04:06What do they have on you?
04:07Very little.
04:07Orson's ridiculous letter,
04:09which is inadmissible in court since he's gone.
04:12And a very cryptic phone conversation,
04:15which can easily be explained away.
04:16Oh, thank God.
04:17Well, they also have Bree's fingerprint.
04:20On what?
04:21A button on the victim's shirt.
04:23When we were wrapping him up in the tablecloth,
04:26I noticed that his shirt was unbuttoned.
04:28You tidied up the dead guy?
04:29I felt it was respectful at the time.
04:31Obviously, I see things differently now.
04:33Well, we're not going to let her take the blame for this.
04:38Yeah, we're all in this together.
04:40Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:41If we confess, they'll find out about Carlos.
04:42And they could put him away forever.
04:44So what?
04:44We let Bree take the fall for us?
04:47Yeah, that's not going to happen.
04:48I'm just saying we should think this through.
04:50Ladies, stop.
04:52Nothing is going to happen to me.
04:53The police have no case.
04:55And of all of us,
04:56I am in the best position to take this on right now.
04:59I have no job, no small children to look after.
05:02But you do have a halo over your head.
05:04Yeah, Bree.
05:05It's incredibly generous.
05:08Bob, you swear you're going to get her off, right?
05:11Actually, she needs a criminal defense attorney.
05:13I know the perfect guy.
05:14He's a real shark.
05:15He's not cheap, but he's worth it.
05:17Well, obviously, we're going to pay for it.
05:19Yes.
05:20You don't have to do that.
05:22No arguing.
05:23You are doing something huge for us.
05:24Well, thank you, but I promise you,
05:26it's not going to be huge
05:27because nothing is going to happen.
05:31I swear to God, this woman is guilty.
05:33If she walks, I'm going to lose it.
05:35You don't have to convince me,
05:36but the jury's a whole other story.
05:37There's no motive, no connection to the victim.
05:39Well, then we have to find one, all right?
05:40Fast.
05:42Are you sure you're not overreacting
05:44because she dumped your partner?
05:45I don't think she just dumped him.
05:48I think she might be the reason Chuck's dead.
05:50Come on, we need to keep digging.
05:56No, no way.
06:01Carlos!
06:02I am not going to let Bree take the fall
06:03for a crime I committed.
06:05Okay, wait, wait, wait.
06:05Before you do anything stupid and macho and noble,
06:08just sit your ass down and listen to me.
06:10Or stand your ass there and listen to me.
06:12You can't turn yourself in.
06:13Why not?
06:14I'm the one who did it.
06:15You've already been to jail twice.
06:17You get a third strike,
06:17they're going to put you away for life.
06:18So what?
06:19I'm supposed to send Bree in my place.
06:21Bree's not going anywhere.
06:22The evidence against her is very flimsy,
06:24and we're getting her some hot shot defense attorney.
06:26We.
06:27Who is we?
06:29The girls and I.
06:30We decided since Bree's in the hot seat,
06:32the least we could do was pay her legal fees.
06:34And I'm all in favor of that,
06:36but how are we supposed to afford this?
06:40I just quit my job,
06:41and I have a lead on a non-profit,
06:43but it is hardly going to pay anything.
06:45Okay, relax.
06:46Relax, sit down.
06:49Look, I'm working now.
06:53No offense,
06:54but I don't think personal shoppers
06:56make hot shot defense attorney money.
06:57Okay, seriously,
06:58you need to keep your mouth shut
06:59and lie low until this breathing plays out.
07:01I just wish that there was something I could do.
07:04Carlos, look.
07:07This is one of those times
07:09when the best thing you can do
07:10is do nothing.
07:17What about his suits?
07:19I'm giving it all away.
07:24It's what Mike would have wanted.
07:29I think I'll keep these.
07:32MJ always says he's got to fill daddy's shoes.
07:35So if I save a pair someday,
07:38he will know that he did.
07:39Are you crying?
07:44No, no.
07:49Can you grab that stuff on the shelf?
07:51Yeah.
07:55What's this?
07:57I don't know.
07:59Never seen it before.
08:01I'll grab Mike's keys.
08:04Um,
08:04maybe you opening it is not a good idea.
08:07Why not?
08:08Because it's in your house,
08:09in your bedroom,
08:10but it's locked.
08:11So maybe Mike didn't want you to know
08:13what was in it.
08:14That's ridiculous.
08:15I have a box like this in my house
08:17that I would not want Bob to see.
08:18Why?
08:19What's in it?
08:20No, don't answer that.
08:25It's probably just papers and stuff.
08:28You're probably right,
08:29but if it's something else,
08:31you may not want to know.
08:35Well, what do you suggest I do?
08:38Throw it away?
08:40Keep it on the shelf?
08:43Okay, how about this?
08:44You go make yourself a nice cup of tea.
08:46I will open it,
08:47and if it's just papers,
08:48I'll tell you.
08:49And if it's something else?
08:50I will decide if you should see it.
08:53I'm just trying to protect you, Susan.
08:54Men have secrets.
08:56Mike didn't.
08:58He kind of did.
08:59Hey, thanks for bringing that over.
09:06You can keep it.
09:07Who thinks a cake stand's a good gift
09:09for a bridal shower?
09:10Me.
09:11I gave it to you.
09:12Oh.
09:13Well, you owe me a less sucky present.
09:15And by the way,
09:16I think you guys owe me a whole new shower.
09:18I mean, when the host gets arrested for murder,
09:20it kind of puts a damper on things.
09:21Yeah, weird.
09:22And what's up with the cops in this town?
09:24Last week, they hauled Ben in
09:26about some body they've found.
09:27Now, Brie?
09:28I'm sure they'll straighten it out.
09:29Thanks again for this.
09:30Who's the cake for?
09:31Tom.
09:32It's his birthday tomorrow,
09:33and I am implementing Phase 2
09:34of Operation Get Tom Back.
09:36I'm guessing Phase 1 was a success.
09:39It was great.
09:40Right up until he caught on fire
09:42and then realized the entire evening
09:43had been a web of lies.
09:45But right before that,
09:46there was this moment,
09:48this look between us,
09:50like we were Tom and Lynette again.
09:52Really?
09:53I could see it in his eyes.
09:56Tom still loves me.
10:00So, birthday boy,
10:01what do you want to do for your big day?
10:03Just go out for dinner or something.
10:05That's it?
10:06I could have a party.
10:08Invite your friends over.
10:10Open up some champagne.
10:11You don't have to worry about that.
10:12The kids are throwing me
10:13a little party Thursday.
10:14Oh, well.
10:16Then I guess we'll have to
10:17come up with some other way to celebrate.
10:19Sounds good.
10:20Hey, are you forgetting something?
10:24Oh.
10:27Thank you,
10:28but I met your divorce papers.
10:30Oh.
10:31As much as I have enjoyed
10:32sleeping next to them
10:33for the past three weeks,
10:34maybe they could make their way
10:35over to Lynette sometime soon.
10:37It's just been so hectic at work.
10:39I haven't had a second
10:39to call the process server.
10:41No, but anybody can deliver them, right?
10:42I mean, what about your assistant?
10:43I don't think that that's appropriate.
10:46Well, I could have the messenger.
10:49Jane, honey, it'll get done.
10:51I'm just really busy right now.
10:54Okay.
10:56I love you.
10:57I look forward to spending
10:59many more birthdays together.
11:01You are the best.
11:02And now I really am late.
11:04I will see you tonight.
11:05Bob just called.
11:15I got to run.
11:16Whoa, whoa.
11:16Hang on.
11:17What about the box?
11:18Huh?
11:19The what?
11:19The box
11:20that's in your hands.
11:22Oh, the box.
11:24I
11:24actually couldn't open it.
11:27You were up there
11:27for 20 minutes.
11:28I fell asleep.
11:29Man, you have a comfortable bed.
11:31Talk to you later.
11:31Oh, my God.
11:35Is it that bad?
11:37Listen to me.
11:39Mike is not defined
11:40by what is
11:41or isn't
11:42inside this box.
11:43Okay.
11:43I have a right to know
11:45I'm his wife.
11:46I know.
11:46I'm just trying to protect
11:47both of you guys.
11:48Lee.
11:49Susan, please
11:50trust me on this.
12:01Hi.
12:17Welcome to Cumberley's
12:18personal shopping service.
12:20Can I help you
12:20with something?
12:21I see.
12:21We have very
12:22similar taste.
12:24I always work
12:25with Margaret.
12:26Is she here?
12:27Oh, you don't want Margaret.
12:28Her idea of fashion
12:29is wearing one normal shoe
12:30and one clunky shoe.
12:31She has a prosthetic leg.
12:34And that's why
12:34she's my hero.
12:39Lazaro, what gives?
12:40You said I'd be
12:41kicking ass at this job.
12:42It takes time
12:43to build a client base, Gabby.
12:44Stick with it, okay?
12:46Five, six months from now
12:47you'll be our top seller.
12:48Six months?
12:49I don't have that kind of time.
12:50I need money.
12:50Quick.
12:51I'm sorry.
12:52Most of the ladies
12:53who come in here
12:53already have a personal shopper.
12:55Oh.
12:56You know,
12:57you could try
12:58the men's department.
12:59You would be very
13:00persuasive over there.
13:01Huh.
13:03Well,
13:03I've always been able
13:04to get men
13:04to buy things for me.
13:05How hard could it be
13:06to get them
13:06to buy things from me?
13:08Just wear something sexy,
13:09show a little cleavage,
13:10and maybe lose
13:11the wedding ring.
13:12Seriously?
13:12Oh, yes.
13:13Guys tend to spend more
13:15when they think
13:15they have a shot
13:16with a hot sales girl.
13:17Lazaro.
13:17I know.
13:18It's demeaning and degrading.
13:19I shouldn't have even...
13:19No, no, no.
13:20No, I just need to know,
13:21should I lose the jacket?
13:22Because these things
13:23are a lot more persuasive
13:24when they're out.
13:25I don't care
13:33what the DA says.
13:35There's no case.
13:36My guy's innocent.
13:39Please stop calling it a body.
13:40It's a foot,
13:41an ear,
13:42and a flap of skin.
13:44Do these have raisins?
13:45Because that grosses me out.
13:46No.
13:46No, okay.
13:47Look, I gotta go.
13:48My 11 o'clock's here.
13:49Yeah.
13:49Okay.
13:51Sorry I'm late.
13:52Not a problem,
13:53Mr. Weston.
13:55Hold me, Tripp.
13:57This is amazing.
13:58I don't like to brag,
13:59but I am famous
14:00for my orange-clazed muffins.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Bob said that you were
14:03one hell of a baker,
14:05but he didn't tell me
14:06much about your case.
14:07Well,
14:08the whole thing
14:09is quite ridiculous.
14:10The police found a dead man
14:11at a construction site,
14:12and they think
14:13that I killed him.
14:14Well,
14:15everyone's guilty
14:15until proven innocent.
14:17They must have
14:18something on you.
14:19Well,
14:19they did receive a letter
14:20from my ex-husband
14:21saying I did it.
14:22Well,
14:22that's nothing.
14:23The guy's got
14:24a vendetta against you,
14:25right?
14:26Yes,
14:26he does.
14:27Oh,
14:27and then there's
14:28a slightly more
14:29damning phone conversation
14:30in which I
14:30expressed remorse
14:32for, um,
14:33putting a body
14:34in the ground.
14:35Big deal.
14:36You were talking
14:37about burying
14:38a dead pet.
14:40I suppose I was.
14:42And then,
14:42the police claimed
14:44to have found
14:44one of my fingerprints
14:45on the dead man's shirt.
14:47Oh.
14:47That's bad,
14:50right?
14:52Actually,
14:52I think
14:54that it's noble,
14:55noble that you
14:57donate so much
14:57of your clothing
14:58to goodwill,
14:59and a shame
14:59that that poor sap
15:00ended up with your shirt.
15:03Oh!
15:04Bob was wrong.
15:05You're not good.
15:06You're amazing.
15:08So you'll take my case?
15:10Nope.
15:12Nope?
15:13No offense,
15:13but, um,
15:14he's kind of a snooze.
15:16Excuse me,
15:17but I had been
15:17accused of murder.
15:18My life is on the line here.
15:20Please,
15:20what jury
15:21is going to convict you
15:22with your pearls
15:23and your perfect hair
15:25and your subtle scent
15:26of lavender?
15:27Well,
15:28I would think
15:28that a lawyer
15:29would enjoy
15:29defending an innocent client.
15:31You would think so,
15:31wouldn't you?
15:32But I love
15:33a challenge.
15:34Last year,
15:35I defended a guy
15:36who was found
15:37standing over his dead father
15:38with a bloody knife
15:39in his hand.
15:40Not only did I
15:41exonerate his guilt,
15:42he asked,
15:43I got him 50%
15:45of the estate.
15:46That is reprehensible.
15:51I'm sorry,
15:52Ms. Vandekamp,
15:53but this is just,
15:53it's too easy.
15:55I mean,
15:56people who are famous
15:57for their muffins,
15:59not generally killers.
15:59good morning.
16:26My name's Gabrielle.
16:27I'm a personal shopper here.
16:29Can I help you?
16:30No, no, no.
16:31I'm just trying to find
16:32the men's department.
16:33I need some socks.
16:34Oh, I can help you with that.
16:36May I?
16:37Oh, you're right.
16:43These ankles deserve
16:44so much better.
16:45You think?
16:46I've always thought
16:47they were just
16:48average ankles.
16:49Average?
16:50They're exquisite.
16:52Ooh,
16:53do you work out?
16:56I do a little
16:57mall walking,
16:58yes.
16:58Well,
17:01I don't say this
17:02to every man.
17:03You've got the perfect
17:04ankles for cashmere.
17:07Let me show you
17:08a few pairs.
17:13Forty bucks
17:13for socks?
17:14I know.
17:15There's just something
17:16irresistible about cashmere.
17:18Promise me you won't buy
17:19one of these cashmere sweaters.
17:20I wouldn't be able
17:21to get my hands off you.
17:22Well,
17:22I really just need the tie.
17:27How can you take the tie
17:28without the blazer
17:29or with your shoulders?
17:31And this color
17:31up against that
17:32beautiful silver hair.
17:35I'm sorry,
17:36I lost myself there
17:36for a moment.
17:39Ooh,
17:40hello,
17:40George Clooney.
17:42It's just so expensive.
17:43I don't know.
17:44You know what?
17:44Maybe I should measure
17:45that inseam one more time.
17:50What if it was drugs?
17:52Seriously,
17:53I just fell asleep.
17:56This baby's been working
17:58on her black belt.
17:59I'm just saying,
18:00my cat had a drug problem.
18:01Those things never go away.
18:03I'm sure it was
18:04nothing like that.
18:06You're right.
18:09It's probably porn.
18:11And you know what?
18:12I'm cool with that.
18:14As long as it was
18:15nothing weird.
18:17Oh God,
18:18you think it was
18:19something weird?
18:19Stop.
18:20Just trust Lee.
18:23If he thinks
18:24you shouldn't see
18:24in the box,
18:26well,
18:26you don't want to find
18:27something that would
18:27tarnish your memories
18:28of Mike.
18:31You're absolutely right.
18:35I should just
18:35leave this alone.
18:40Susan,
18:40it's...
18:41Two in the morning,
18:41I know,
18:42but I can't sleep
18:43and I am never gonna sleep
18:44until I know
18:44what's inside that box.
18:45So you can either
18:46let me in now
18:46or we can do this again
18:47at three and then at four
18:48and then at...
18:53So there's his passport,
18:54letters from his mom,
18:55a really cute picture
18:56of you and MJ.
18:57Just get to it.
18:59And a checkbook.
19:01Apparently he set up
19:02an account eight years ago.
19:05That's when we were divorced.
19:07And every month since,
19:08he's written a check
19:09to some woman
19:09named Jenny Hernandez.
19:10I've never heard of her.
19:17This is her address.
19:19Somewhere in Mount Pleasant.
19:29Oh my God.
19:31Any chance those are MJ's?
19:33No.
19:35Well, maybe it's...
19:36We both know what it is.
19:37There's a child out there.
19:44Mike's child.
19:5077, 78, 79, 80.
19:54Hi, Lynette.
19:5681, 82, 83, 84, 84, 85.
19:59Making time of cake.
19:5986, 87.
20:01Gosh, how old is he gonna be?
20:0346, 47, 48.
20:05Any dinner reservations
20:06at 715?
20:07Or was it 716?
20:08717?
20:08Nice try, but I am like Rain Man.
20:1098, 99, 100.
20:12Sorry to bother you.
20:14Penny and Parker
20:14left this step over
20:15at our place,
20:16so I thought I'd drop it by.
20:17Thanks.
20:18I see they're making lab coats
20:19a lot tighter
20:20than they used to.
20:21Oh, I see they're making
20:22sweatpants
20:23just as baggy as always.
20:26Besides, I'm not going to work.
20:28I'm taking Tom
20:28to his favorite restaurant
20:29because, you know,
20:31it's his birthday.
20:32Yeah, I know.
20:35That's why I'm making him
20:36his favorite cake.
20:37Looks appetizing.
20:39Don't forget to add
20:40the eye of Newt.
20:41Oh, because it's green.
20:42It's a funny story.
20:44When Tom and I were first dating,
20:45he wanted a red velvet cake
20:46for his birthday,
20:47but I only had green food coloring,
20:49and he liked it anyway.
20:51So it's become a tradition,
20:52one we have shared
20:53for 25 years.
20:57I think we're going
20:57to keep sharing it.
20:59Lynette, stop embarrassing yourself.
21:01Tom is through with you.
21:02We have a family together.
21:04You don't just throw that away.
21:08Until you do.
21:10Mm-hmm.
21:10What is that?
21:12Your divorce papers.
21:15Tom already signed them.
21:17Now it's your turn.
21:23What the hell?
21:26Oh, my God!
21:27You look beautiful.
21:39Oh, you're just saying that
21:41because it's obvious.
21:43I'll be home for dinner.
21:46Oh, by the way,
21:48I think I could mix things up.
21:49Getting a little tired of chicken.
21:50You forgot something.
21:53Oh, that.
21:55Here's the thing.
21:56It's better for business
21:57if I don't wear it.
21:59Really?
22:00I have a lot of rich men
22:01as clients.
22:01If I flirt with them,
22:02they buy more stuff,
22:03which means I make more money,
22:04and you can cook something
22:06other than chicken for dinner.
22:08You know what?
22:09I'm not comfortable with you
22:10dressing like that
22:11and flirting with those guys.
22:12Oh, honey,
22:13you have nothing to worry about.
22:14They're just a bunch
22:15of nerds with money.
22:16This just helps.
22:18You can't dress for church
22:19if you want to move the merch.
22:20Gabby.
22:20You've got to shake your ear
22:22to get them to buy the gear.
22:23Gabby.
22:23You want to sell some knits,
22:24you better flash.
22:25Gabby!
22:26I got it.
22:28Too bad.
22:28I have, like, 15 more.
22:30See you tonight.
22:31Lynette?
22:46What are you doing here?
22:48Jane's meeting me
22:49for my birthday.
22:50Uh, Jane's running late.
22:51She had a little trouble
22:52with your cake.
22:54You signed this?
22:57How did you get these?
22:59They were handed to me
23:00personally by your new rooming.
23:02Answer the question.
23:03I did not ask Jane
23:05to bring these to you,
23:06I swear.
23:07It doesn't matter
23:07if Jane brought them.
23:09He's going to need
23:09a few more minutes.
23:11Look, I'm taking
23:13a little off guard here.
23:14Can we talk about this later?
23:16This is your signature,
23:17isn't it?
23:18Yes.
23:19When did you sign it?
23:21I don't know.
23:22A while ago, I guess.
23:24You guessed?
23:24Jeez, this isn't a gym membership.
23:26This is for the disillusion
23:27of our marriage.
23:27Look, I know.
23:28You think I don't know.
23:33This is hard for me, too, okay?
23:36But you've got to believe me.
23:38There is no way
23:39I meant for Jane
23:40to bring this to you.
23:42Then just tell me,
23:43what is it you do mean?
23:49Do you want to end
23:50our marriage?
23:50Do you want to end
23:51our marriage?
24:20I'm sorry.
24:24I'm sorry.
24:26I'm sorry.
24:29I'm sorry.
24:31I'm sorry.
24:32I'm sorry.
24:33I'm sorry.
24:34I'm sorry.
24:36I'm sorry.
24:36I'm sorry.
24:36I'm sorry.
24:50Please talk to me.
24:55You know, it's just that you've had so much going on lately.
24:59I, you know, I thought it would be helpful if I took the papers over for you.
25:04On what planet is you serving my wife divorce papers a good idea?
25:11I thought I was doing you a favor.
25:13Me a favor? Really? Me?
25:17Fine. Us.
25:18I just want us to move forward.
25:21I can't stand this one foot in, one foot out thing that you've got going with your ex.
25:25It's not what I signed up for.
25:26I told you, I would take care of it.
25:29Now is not the time.
25:31It's never the time, Tom, until you make it the time.
25:33You don't just throw papers at someone and say, here, sign this.
25:37Everything that we have known and worked for is over.
25:40It's not that easy.
25:42It is when you know what you want.
25:44Tom, I love you, but if we're going to be together, you've got to stop thinking about her needs and start thinking about mine.
25:56I am always going to care about Lynette.
25:58She's the mother of my children.
26:08So you need to decide whether you can live with that.
26:17It's going to be okay.
26:23Hi, I'm looking for Jenny.
26:32I'm Jenny.
26:33And you are?
26:35Susan Delfino.
26:36Mike's wife.
26:38Oh.
26:39Yeah.
26:39I'm so sorry for your loss.
26:44Thank you for your sympathy.
26:45But what I really need from you is an explanation.
26:49Why was Mike sending you checks every month?
26:52They weren't for me.
26:53They're for Laura.
26:55Okay.
26:57Who's Laura, Mike's daughter?
26:59No, his sister.
27:00So, this is a group home?
27:09For autistic adults.
27:11Laura's one of our more severe cases.
27:13She can't speak.
27:14Loves painting, though.
27:16Spends hours every day at that table.
27:18Did Mike ever mention having a sister?
27:21No, never.
27:22He was great with her.
27:23He came by every Monday night to visit.
27:25Told me he had softball.
27:28Excuse me a moment.
27:31This is crazy.
27:32No, this is good.
27:34There's no other woman, no kid.
27:36Why wouldn't Mike tell me he had a sister?
27:39I don't know.
27:40Did he think I'd be upset about the money?
27:42Because I wouldn't.
27:43I'm sure he knew that.
27:46But why did he think he had to hide this from me?
27:48I mean, did he think I was the kind of person that wouldn't accept her?
27:52Sorry about that.
27:53Would you like to meet, Laura?
27:56We'd love to.
28:00His name is Ramon Sanchez.
28:09He would have stayed here around six months ago.
28:12Hmm, doesn't ring a bell.
28:15But he could be in my treasure chest.
28:18I keep all the items guests leave behind.
28:21My husband calls it hoarding.
28:23But I fancy myself more of a collector.
28:2720 bucks says we're parking up the wrong crazy here.
28:33If the prosecutor needs more connection to that Vandy Camp broad, trust me, I'll find it.
28:37Must be your lucky day.
28:39Room 208, Ramon Sanchez.
28:43Magazine of the maps, on the seats.
28:46I don't think there's anything here.
28:49He circled Mysteria Lane.
28:51He doesn't connect him to her.
28:53Not directly.
29:03It does if he was going to her address.
29:05Bob, she'd be here any minute.
29:23You really don't need your lawyer.
29:25I just wanted to show you something that we found.
29:28What is it?
29:29It was with some of Mr. Sanchez's things.
29:32As you can see, he wrote your address on it.
29:34Well, that doesn't make any sense.
29:37Why would he...
29:37Look, this goes too much farther.
29:39There's nothing I can do to help you.
29:40But if you come forward now, tell me everything that happened,
29:44things will go a lot easier for you.
29:48I think I should wait for my lawyer.
29:52Is there someplace I could get some water?
29:55Right outside.
29:55Right outside.
29:55Mr. Conklin's parole hearing is tomorrow at 10.
30:08Do you really want me telling the board that you couldn't find the documents that I requested a week ago?
30:12I'll check again, Mr. Weston.
30:14Don't check.
30:15Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:16Fine.
30:18Fine.
30:18Fine.
30:18Fine.
30:18Fine.
30:19Fine.
30:20Fine.
30:20Fine.
30:21Fine.
30:21Fine.
30:22Fine.
30:22Fine.
30:23Fine.
30:24Fine.
30:24Fine.
30:25Fine.
30:32Ms. Vandekamp, you okay?
30:35I think so.
30:38Just, uh, waiting for Bob.
30:42They found some other evidence and I'm just not sure what to make of it all.
30:52Look, uh, I'm trying to help you out here.
30:55But there is a clock on this deal, so I'm not sure how much longer you want to wait for your lawyer.
30:59You must hate being a detective, huh?
31:01Mr. Weston?
31:02Mr. Weston?
31:03Even a rookie cop knows that interrogating a suspect without counsel present is a violation of their rights, so this must be your way of trying to lose your gold shield.
31:13And you know what?
31:14I think it's gonna work.
31:15We're just making small talk waiting for a lawyer.
31:17Well, small talk's over.
31:19I'm her lawyer.
31:19I'm her lawyer.
31:20Let's go.
31:22You don't need his permission.
31:25You want to talk to her?
31:27You talk to me first.
31:28Is that clear?
31:29Soon to be a patrolman, Murphy?
31:30Good evening, detective.
31:40I thought my case was too boring for you.
31:42It was.
31:43But I realized something that made it interesting.
31:46You may not have done this, but you sure as hell know who did.
31:52Oh!
31:53Wineless?
31:54I'll take that.
31:55And be sure to bring me the check.
31:56Tonight's my treat.
31:57Whoa!
31:58Kind of pricey.
31:59I thought we were supposed to be saving for Bree's lawyer.
32:00We are, but I'm starting to do really well, so I think we can afford one splurge.
32:04I don't know.
32:05Oh, come on, Carlos.
32:06I want to do this for you.
32:07Can't you just enjoy it?
32:08I guess I can do that.
32:09I'll take it.
32:10I'll take it.
32:11I'll take it.
32:12I'll take it.
32:13I'll take it.
32:14I'll take it.
32:15And be sure to bring me the check.
32:16Tonight's my treat.
32:17Whoa!
32:18Kinda pricey.
32:19I thought we were supposed to be saving for Bree's lawyer.
32:20I guess I can do that.
32:21Gabby?
32:22Jason!
32:23Hey!
32:24I thought that was you.
32:25Wow!
32:26Hi!
32:28Whoa!
32:30Who are you?
32:31Oh, this is Jason, one of my clients.
32:34Jason, this is Carlos, my... brother.
32:38Oh, hey, man.
32:39Nice to meet you.
32:43Grab a chair.
32:44Join us.
32:45Thanks.
32:46So, uh, your sister here is quite the little saleswoman.
32:51You believe she talked me into a $4,000 suit today?
32:54I mean, that is so... sis.
32:59Carlos, maybe you should go to the bar and get us some drinks.
33:02Nah, I'm not thirsty.
33:05So, uh, I'm wearing one of the shirts you picked out.
33:07What do you think?
33:08Well, I can't tell you what I think in front of my brother.
33:13Hey, Carlos, how is it possible that someone as awesome as your sister hasn't been scooped up already?
33:20My guess is it's the herpes.
33:24Sibling humor.
33:27You're right.
33:28All those trips to the free clinic could have been for anything.
33:30Seriously, Carlos, some drinks for the table would be really good.
33:33You know what? What the hell?
33:34I'll take a scotch on the rocks.
33:36A single malt.
33:38Actually, you're gonna have to get that one yourself.
33:41I am going home to my wife.
33:44I'm married.
33:52I can't believe you just did that.
33:53That guy's one of my best customers.
33:54Are we talking about that nerd you sell to?
33:57Okay, maybe he's a little better looking than the others, but it's my job, Carlos.
34:01Fine. Whatever. Let's just get out of here.
34:02Look, you're such a hypocrite.
34:04How many times did you tell me to show a little cleavage when meeting your out-of-town clients?
34:08My breasts were practically a tourist stop.
34:11This is different, and I don't like it.
34:14Well, too bad. We need this job. I'm the breadwinner now.
34:17Yep. Throw that in my face again.
34:19What?
34:20Make me dinner, Carlos. Get me drinks. Bring me the check.
34:24Yeah, Carlos, I did offer to treat.
34:27And you know what I was thinking? How good it felt.
34:29How for the first time in 19 years I was able to treat you.
34:32And I can't believe that would bother you.
34:34Well, it does.
34:36It's driving me crazy that you're the one making all the money and calling all the shots.
34:41Well, get used to it. Because I did all this for you. This is what you wanted.
34:44Give it to her. She's driving down.
34:49You're up early.
35:05I'm up late.
35:08Once in college I wrote Mike a letter about how horrible you are.
35:11And good morning to me.
35:14We'd just had a fight on the phone, and I needed to put my anger somewhere.
35:18Anyway, when you said that Mike had some old letters in that box, I wanted to make sure mine wasn't in it.
35:24So I checked, and I found these.
35:29They're from Mike's mom, Adele.
35:30Turns out you weren't the only one who was in the dark about Mike's sister.
35:36He didn't even know she existed until eight years ago.
35:39What? Why?
35:42It was clear early on that Laura was going to have special needs.
35:46I guess Mike's parents weren't up for it.
35:49So, yes, Michael, I am ashamed of myself, and I live with that decision every day.
35:59But life with your father was always hard, and keeping Laura would have been an inconvenience that might have destroyed everything.
36:11This was the last letter she wrote, Mike?
36:13And so now you know the worst secret of my life.
36:17But I beg of you, let it remain a secret.
36:20Your beautiful new family is one of the only joys I have.
36:24Don't let them know the kind of person I really am.
36:29Mike wasn't keeping a secret from you.
36:32He was keeping a secret for her.
36:37Well, I know what Mike would have wanted me to do.
36:39I'm going to keep writing those checks, and I'm going to keep Laura in my life.
36:49My God.
36:51Adele had to live with that on her conscience.
36:58Yeah.
37:00How do you do something like that?
37:02How do you give away your own child just because it's inconvenient?
37:05Oh, no, no, no.
37:11No, um, I didn't mean...
37:13I mean, it's not like that with you.
37:15No, Mom, it is.
37:17All the stuff I've said about being pregnant.
37:24That I'm not ready.
37:27Or that I'm not sure I'd be a good mom.
37:30I'm not a good mom.
37:34It's all bull.
37:38What this baby really is to me is inconvenient.
37:47I've been thinking about this all night.
37:49I don't want to make a decision that I'm going to be ashamed of for the rest of my life.
38:00I can't live with that.
38:04I won't.
38:08Julie, are you saying...
38:09Yeah.
38:12I'm going to keep her.
38:17Yes.
38:19In life, we all make plans.
38:22But sometimes, they don't turn out the way we expected.
38:27By trying to help out, we may damage a relationship.
38:31By attempting to reach out, we may push someone further away.
38:40By digging into the past, we may enrich our present.
