Brothers & Sisters (2006–2011): Season 4, Episode 17 - Freeluc.com - full transcript

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

Wow.

It's amazing, isn't it...

how two little words can make our
lovemaking even more passionate?

Oh, God.

When I say, "don't stop,
" you really don't stop.

Not those two words.

Je t'aime.

I love you, too.

I can't believe that
in three weeks, two days

and... what time is it?



Oh! Eight hours, if you don't have a visa,

you'll be on a plane to France.

Stop calculating.

We promised to live in the present.

Ugh. I am, I am.

And right now in the present,

I'm upset that my government,

to whom I pay taxes, by the way,

is lurking in my bedroom
waiting to ruin my life.

I love how you think.

The entire government
is out there to get you.

Well, this is a very big problem.

You know what I think?

What?



I think the problems of two little people

don't amount to hill of
beans in this crazy world.

As adorable as you are,

imitating Humphrey Bogart
with your little French accent,

I don't think we should quote
from "Casablanca" anymore,

because I know how it ends...

Two people in tears

in an airport...

On a foggy night.

Don't say anything.

Good morning, leisure man.

Good morning, hunky breadwinner.

And just so you know,

I'm not gonna be leisure man forever.

There are many exciting careers

just waiting for someone like me.

- Such as?
- Well, I don't know yet.

I have to finish my
careers assessment test..

"Of the following, which
activities most appeal to you?

Working on mathematical problems." No.

"Recording customer complaints." No.

Ooh. "Teaching needy children overseas."

Yes.

Uh, "giving orders to others." Yes.

Mm... yes.

"Tapping maple trees for sugar." Why not?

Ooh. "Giving legal advice.
" No. Did that. Hated it.

Not a chance.

"Designing lamps." Absolutely.

Wow. "Planning a political campaign."

Bite your tongue, you stupid test.

Wait. Scotty, look at this.

I'm not suited for anything.

Well, what about lamps and maple syrup?

The only things I am suited
for are law and politics,

and I don't want to go back to that.

- I'm a complete failure.
- Stop it, Kevin,

you are not a failure.

name one thing I'm good at.

Well, you were pretty
good in bed last night.

Yes, I was, wasn't...
hey, let's do that again.

Oh, I... I... I can't.

I have a breakfast meeting
at San Estephe with my boss,

- so I... I...
- Oh, come on.

Daytime sex is one of the
few perks of unemployment.

- Come on. Come on.
- Okay, but we have to be quick.

Leisure man can be so
speedy when necessary.

Ah! Don't answer that.

The only people who call the landline

are telemarketers and wrong number.

What if it's my boss calling to cancel?

Then maybe you should answer it.

- Hello.
- Hi, Scotty. It's Sarah. Listen, um...

Oh, yeah. Hi. Just a sec.

It's Sarah.

Why did...

What kind of sneaky person
blocks their caller I.D.?

Well, look, I'm in an emergency,

and I didn't have time to play
your little voice mail game

- so that you'd call me back.
- What emergency?

Okay, listen, Kevin, you have got
to help Luc get his visa renewed.

Come on. You're a lawyer.

There's gotta be
something that you can do.

Sarah, I'm not an
immigration lawyer, okay?

I put a call in to the immigration
attorney at my old firm.

That is all I can do.

No, Kevin.

There's got to be
something else you can do.

Hello.

Scotty, it's Kitty.

- Hi, Kitty.
- She says it's an emergency.

Hang on a
second. Kevin-1-1.

What's your emergency?

Very funny, Kevin. Look,

I need you to go to a couple of campaign

events with me today. Okay? Please.

I am desperate.

Kit, I do not work for you.

Remember? You have staff.

I know I have staff, but I hate my staff.

So I promise you won't
have to do anything.

I just need somebody with a sense

of humor to hang out with me.

Okay, what about Sarah? She
makes you laugh. Hang on.

- Sarah, make Kitty laugh.
- Kitty?

- Sarah?
- Kitty, I'm talking to Kevin.

- Well, so was I.
- Well, I called him first.

- I'm sorry sweetie, I have to go.
- Please, don't go.

- I'm sorry. I love you.
- I love you, too.

No, no, Kevin! Kevin. Kevin.

Kev, Kev, Kevin! Kevin! Kevin?

One demanding, needy,
high-maintenance sister

- at a time, please.
- I heard about this other kind of visa...

No, don't you call me
" high maintenance"...

All right, come on, Nora.

Just please run through
this one more time.

Would you stop doing that? Come on.

Just relax.

Close your eyes and... here you go.

Let's go out tonight for our own sake

and visit a place that I call Narrow Lake

where Saul can't pester me
to sing this stupid song...

Oh, for... that's not
funny. I'm trying help you,

- and you're... you're not taking it seriously.
- I'm sorry, I don't remember it.

Honestly, when it gets to a point

where our only hope of
finding this piece of property

is if I can remember some stupid lyrics,

well, I think we should just give up.

we don't know it'll be worth anything.

And we don't know that this is
actually what Dennis York is after.

What are you talking about?
He filed to do business

as Narrow Lake Development Group.

There's nothing ambiguous about that.

And furthermore,

York was willing to pay
Holly more than Ojai is worth.

There's no other conclusion to make.

Well, then what's her waiting for, huh?

Why doesn't he call me and make an
offer for our half of the company?

I don't know. Maybe he
plans to make an end run

and approach the kids first.

No. No, I don't want
him to talk to the kids.

Well, then I'll contact him.
I'll just set up a meeting

and force his hand.

No, I don't want you to
talk to him either, Saul.

I don't trust him.

And neither is Holly.

Well, sweetheart, until we find out

where and what Narrow Lake is,

that man is holding all the cards.

Okay, mom. What is going on? Seriously.

God. You scared me.

It's beautiful outside,

it's Saturday, dad was
gone for, like, three weeks,

and you're stuck in your
office with the shades drawn.

When I open them, there's a
glare on my computer screen.

Well, you shouldn't be on your computer.

Mom, seriously, what is so important?

I mean, like, what is...
what is all this stuff?

Why are you look at files from 1975?

That's from another project.

They're all going back to storage today.

Mom, what project involves
files from 35 years ago?

You know, sweetie, you
really... you don't want to know.

Trust me. It's just business.

No, it's not just business

when you're here on beautiful Saturdays.

This is your life.

Okay, mom...

We have come way too far for this.

You gotta tell me what's going on.

Has David told you anything?

Just that Ojai is in
more financial trouble.

Yeah, that's true. The company is broke.

And so am I.

What?

I made this terrible investment...

Oh, God. Who am I kidding?

I lost it all in a Ponzi scheme.

Wh... when?

A few months ago.

A few mo... w... why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry. I should've told you.

But I was afraid you would
worry. Oh, please don't worry.

I have this idea of how
to make Ojai solvent again,

and maybe if I am really lucky,

I will make up some of
the personal money I lost.

Mom, I am your daughter and I love you.

Let me help you.

Okay.

Excuse me.

What could I get for you?

Nora.

- I'm glad to see you.
- Hello, Dennis.

I was so happy to get your call.

Actually, I was just about to call you.

I figured as much.

When I turn the key,
there's a whirring noise,

and it's a brand-new
battery, so it can't be that.

Is it, like, a clicking sound?

No, it's not a clicking
sound. It's more of a groan.

Could you just tell me when you could get

- here, please?
- ABout three hours.

No! God, no. No, no. I
have a million things to do.

I can't wait that long.

I fixed it.

Uh, just a sec. What's that?

Yeah, it was the alternator.
It's all fine now.

Just hang up the phone.

Actually, my boyfriend fixed it.

It was the alternator. Everything's fine.

So thank you and au revoir.

Sarah.

I cannot get by without you.

If you go back to France,
my life's gonna fall apart.

The mailman just delivered it.

It's from the state department.

Kiss me. I'm legal.

You're what?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Really?

Yeah.

Mm. Really?

How's your mother?

Ida's fine, thanks.

Uh-huh. And the kids?

Everybody's fine, Dennis.

Is Tommy still up in Seattle?

That's none of your business.

And I find it kind of disturbing

you know that.

You seem tougher than you used to be...

Colder.

But I guess you've been through
a lot the last few years.

Oh, really? You think?

Maybe cleaning up William's
mess might have changed me?

I don't know.

You seem to have adjusted well.

You've made peace with Holly Harper.

Let's just cut the small talk, all right?

Dennis, I don't know

why you want to buy the company so badly,

but it's not gonna happen.

Even if I wanted to sell it,

I couldn't

it belongs to you and your family.

And they all have shares.

Do you expect me to
convince them all to sell?

Yes, I do.

And you will.

Or I'll tell them all what happened.

I don't get it. My mom lives alone,

and she always has a ton of leftovers.

I know. It's mystifying. Here.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Nora, I'm so sorry to barge in like this.

I told Justin, it's... it's a little...

Although I explained it to her,

if you didn't want me to use my key,

you woulda changed the
locks a long time ago.

Um... wait. Um, before you go upstairs,

um, Rebecca wants to talk
to you about something.

Nothing. What is it, Rebecca?

- O... okay.
- Well, Nora, you know how I felt

when my mom gave me that
money from William's estate.

You know, I was... I was angry
and ashamed and I... I kinda knew

that everybody thought
I didn't deserve it.

No one thought that.

Nora, it was $2 million.

Full disclosure... I thought
it was a little excessive.

Exactly, which is why I
gave it to you to hold on to.

But I think I know what I want

well, my mom and I have
come a long way since then,

and... I think I want to
give it to her and Ojai.

How... how much of it do
you want to give to her?

All of it.

What?

Ma, look, you know I... I stay
out of the whole Ojai thing,

but we know the... the
company's in bad shape.

Yeah, and we just found
out about Narrow Lake.

Yeah, which kind of blows my mind.

I mean, how come you
didn't tell us about that?

Well, we don't know where Narrow Lake...

it... it may not even exist.

Well, exactly.

And see, this is why I want
to give her the money...

so it'll give her the
time to figure it out.

Help yourself.

You know, I mean, she has
a strong hunch about this.

And I... and I really want to support her.

Has... has your mother
ag... agreed to this?

I haven't told her yet.

I kind of wanted to take
care of this part first.

Rebecca, what you want
to do is... is admirable.

Honey, it's really admirable.

But I have to tell you,

the company is in a very
precarious situation,

and anything could happen... anything.

I... I really don't want you
to gamble away your future.

Mom, this is Rebecca's money. All right?

She wants to help out Holly.

I'd do the same thing
for you in a heartbeat.

I thought you'd be all over this.

Well, I... I... I just
wasn't expecting this.

It's out of the blue is all.

Mom, what what's the matter with you?

Nothing is the matter. Nothing.

I'm... I'm crabby. I'm... I'm fine. Sorry.

Sorry. I, um... of course.

I will... I will, um...

I'll take care of it. Whatever you want.

So we've got about 50 members
of the Burbank Boosters Club.

Okay. They're very receptive to

oh, if you're gonna
talk about job creation,

I might actually listen.

I'm just so proud to be working with you.

Mrs. Walker-McCallister.

Well, thanks.

Please let it be good news.

And... and you, too, Mr. Walker.

Oh, I'm not... I'm not working today.

I'm just carrying Kitty's water.

Oh, okay.

- Uh, that's a figure of speech, Brad.
- Oh, okay.

- But I actually am a little thirsty.
- I only brought one.

That's okay. You know
what? He's my brother.

- So it's... it's okay.
- Yeah, great.

So why don't you go
ahead and introduce Kitty?

Sure. Got it.

I don't know why you
think your staff's not fun.

Welcome to the Burbank Boosters Club.

Now I'm very pleased to introduce

our speaker for today...

the next United States Senator
from the state of California,

Kitty McCallister.

Yes!

- What the hell is that?
- I don't know.

- What do I do?
- Say something.

- No, what do I...
- Just take control. Calm them.

- Uh, good morning.
- America for Americans!

America for Americans!

America for Americans!

America for Americans!

America for Americans!

America for Americans!

Sarah, you need to call me

the minute you get this message.

Somehow Robert and I got all tangled up

in Luc's immigration problems,

and it's turned intoa huge mess.

So put on your clothes
and call me, please. Meow.

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess
I get a little touchy

when I'm accused of corruption.

Have we figured out where
this is coming from yet?

Half the right-wing
web sites have posted it

without sourcing it. Wow. Look at this.

"Mac & Cat pull strings
for sister's boy-toy!!"

They called me Cat?

Yeah.

Oh, now I really hate them.

Now you're sure that Sarah never asked you

to reach out on Luc's behalf?

No, and I never offered.

What about you?

What? No, no. The only thing

I did was, I called Mario to
see if he could look into it.

He's an immigration
attorney at my old firm.

Okay, you know what? Get him on the phone.

I want to talk to him.

I already left a message.
He hasn't called me back.

Look at this. This one
posted Luc's passport photo.

Why the hell do you think
they put him in a beard?

Well, b... because...

because he's fidel
Castro's illegitimate son.

What?

Unbelievable. They really have no shame.

This is anonymous character assassination,

plus guilt by association.

It's just the conservative purity police

trying to purge the party of lily...

livered republican moderates.

Yeah, well, they're gonna have to decide,

because I can't be
lily-livered and Hitler

all at the same time.

No, I'm lily-livered. You are Hitler.

Every web site is linked
to every other website.

But blog, it just spreads exponentially.

Oh, my God.

Trudy's truths.

Trudy. Trudy
what? T-r-u-d-y?

Yeah, she was an assistant
at my old law firm.

She used to pray every
night that I wouldn't be gay.

Spends her weekends in the desert

securing the Mexican
border from alien invaders.

She must have started it on her blog.

She must have found out that
I called Mario for advice

and made the rest up.

I think these elites who don't
believe in our constitution

and don't love this country

should follow the laws our
soldiers fought and died for

and stop taking jobs away from Americans.

Wow. She's good.

She had "elites," the constitution,
love of country, dead soldiers,

immigration and jobs all in one sentence.

I am so getting her fired.

Don't, don't, 'cause then we're, you know,

accused of silencing
Trudy the truth teller.

We need to prepare a statement,

because this is gonna
spread to mainstream media.

You say "we." You're looking at me.

Well, yeah. I'm late
for the motorcycle club.

And I have a flight to
Sacramento in 20 minutes.

W... wait. W... I... I
don't even work here anymore.

You know, this is Sarah's prob...

- I shouldn't even be here, Kit.
- Kevin, I need your help.

When Sarah needed a favor,
you sure hopped to it.

Yeah, look how that turned out.

Just write the statement please,
oki? And I'll call you later.

Yes, mein fuhrer.

Not funny.

Holly.

Oh, hey, Nora.

Rebecca told me you
were working here today.

I tried to call you. Why didn't you

- answer your phone?
- Yeah, she told me...

thank you so much for
facilitating all of this.

Why did you tell her?

I lost my money months ago.
It's time that she knew...

No, I mean about the damn lake.

Oh, no, I didn't say one
word about Dennis York.

I told you I wanted to keep
the kids out of it, all of it.

Well, I'm sorry. I didn't
think it would be any harm

to tell her about Narrow
Lake. I mean, that's good news.

Plus guilt by association.

What possible harm could come from that?

Oh, Holly. You met Dennis.

Do I really have to answer that question?

I didn't realize that
you had an objection.

I apologize.

Well, obviously, you're...

you're not going to accept
Rebecca's money, are you?

Well, yes, I am.

But I'm not gonna spend a penny of it

until I'm sure she'll get it all back.

I can't believe you'd take
your own child's money.

Nora, Rebecca and I have
never had an easy relationship.

And how the hell does this
help your relationship?

I gave her the money.

The only reason that you have it is,

she was so mad at me at the time,

that she refused to accept it.

This is not about $2 million.

This is about her accepting me again.

The only thing I don't understand

is why you're so upset about it.

I... is that because you're trying

- to protect Justin's interest, then you should know...
- Oh, this isn't about Justin.

- This has nothing to do with Justin.
- Then what is it?

It's nothing. All right? It's nothing.

I'm sorry. It's...

whenever money's involved,

things just... get more complicated.

That's all.

I'll talk to you later.

Maybe we could take a
little trip to New York

- in July.
- Oh, I'll take you to new York.

I know all the best
restaurants and art galleries.

You will love it.

- You know, that it sounds so good.
- Why are there so many people...

Oh, God.

I hope some celebutant
hasn't moved onto my block

- Excuse me.
- Hey.

What's going on here?

You're Sarah Walker, right?

And you're Luc Laurent?

What's going on, man?

Luc, did you know Sarah was related
to a senator when you started dating?

Wait. Uh, this is about Kitty?

Did you ask your sister to help you?

Help me with what?

Hey, Sarah, how long have you known Luc?

Forget it. Let's go.

Did Kitty McCallister tell you she
could pull strings to get you a visa?

Sarah is Kitty's sister.

Luc, don't answer that.

Why don't you want him to answer that?

Okay, I don't know where you
people got your information,

but my sister did not use
any influence to help Luc.

Turn the camera off.

- Sarah, how much older are you than him?
- Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Do you always date younger men?

Okay, you guys are really
starting to piss me off.

- Forget it.
- Is it true he wouldn't marry you,

so you had to go to your
sister to keep him around?

Oh, that's nice!

Is this what you douche
bags do for a living

or is harassing private
citizens your idea of fun?

It is people like you that
give this country a bad name.

Thank you, Sarah. Have a great day.

- Be sure to stretch.
- Go, cougar.

Tommy.

Mom.

- Hi.
- Hey. Uh, you all right?

- Yeah.
- What's with the, uh, sudden trip?

- Oh. I'm glad to see you. I'll tell you all about it.
- Okay.

Thanks.

So how are you?

How am I? Let's see.

Well, I'm pretty much
treading water right now.

I, uh, got a job at a grocery
wholesaler a few weeks ago.

Well, Tommy, that's wonderful.

Really?

Back to the, uh,
rose-colored glasses already?

What about Julia and
Elizabeth? How's that?

Yeah, that's pretty much
gone from bad to worse.

Julia will barely speak to me,

and I'm getting less and
less time with Elizabeth.

Yeah, I thought getting
a job would help...

You know, show Julia that I've changed.

But... no, it's not.

Tommy, maybe it's time
for you to come home.

Is that what this is about,
getting me to come home?

What, mom? What...
what... what's going on?

I... I know you talk
to Sarah all the time.

Did she tell you someone
tried to buy Ojai foods?

Yeah, Obstfeld something or other?

Obstfeld group.

Yeah, Obstfeld something or other?

Yeah, but that didn't happen.

No, but the Obstfeld group was a front.

It's Dennis York.

- W... why?
- I don't know.

Why would he want to buy Ojai?

It's never been in worse shape.

Tommy, have you ever heard
of a place called Narrow Lake?

No.

Well, I've managed to talk
Sarah down off the ledge,

because in addition to everything else,

she wasn't aware he was a porn star.

He was a porn star?

No, of course he wasn't a porn star.

- That's what they're saying.
- Oh, my God. Thank God.

Thank God he's not a porn star.

You know, I'm just... I'm
still actually very surprised

that... that Miss Sarah La-di-da
has not called me to apologize.

Well, keep in mind,
you know, it hasn't been

a walk on the beach for her today either.

Okay, here she comes. Just
please... just be nice.

- Kitty's on the phone.
- Oh, about time. Hey.

- Hey. How are you holding up?
- Uh, okay.

The kids called from Joe's.
Cooper thinks it's awesome.

But Paige wants to
expire from embarrassment.

- Well, business as usual.
- No, Kitty. I wouldn't say that.

Yeah, well, you should just be happy

- they're not drawing moustaches on your face.
- I would prefer that

than being called " the
famous Pasadena cougar."

And for the record, I'm not
that much older than Luc.

Maybe you should've
thought of that, Sarah,

when you decided to call
the cameraman a douche bag.

I mean, what the hell were you thinking?

You know what? Had I known that I was
about to be swarmed by paparazzi, Kitty,

I might have been able to prepare

- a more appropriate response.
- Right, right.

Because I have complete control
over what the paparazzi does.

And besides, you know what
I did? I did try to call you.

But you didn't answer your phone.

Well, that is not my fault, is it?

No, Kitty, apparently
nothing is your fault

okay, you know what?

There are so many people to hate in this.

Let's not waste time and energy
hating each other, please.

Okay, okay. You know what?
Look, I... I totally agree.

Here's the thing, Sarah...
the entire blogosphere

is screaming for Luc's visa to be revoked

until there's an investigation,
and sooner or later,

the state department is gonna
have to give in to the pressure.

Well, then fight them. Don't
let them get away with it.

The best way to fight them
is to hand it in voluntarily

and prove to them that we

- have nothing to hide.
- Okay, I'm hanging up now.

- No, no, no, s...
- Look, just don't waste your breath, Kevin.

We're not gonna do it.

Just tell her that I
will drive down there,

we will sit down... Luc, Sarah
and I... and we will discuss it.

Okay, she's gonna come

no, she can't come over here.

Luc is much nicer than I am, and I

- don't want him to cave.
- You have to go somewhere else.

Okay, fine. Mom's house, two hours.

But I'm calling the nanny,
so Sarah better be there.

- Mom's, two hours?
- Okay.

Yeah, okay. But I'm not coming with.

- Oh, damn straight you are.
- Yes, you are.

- Wh... haven't I suffered enough?
- No.

No.

So, uh, where'd you see him?

At his hotel.

He wants Ojai, Tommy.

He demanded that we sell it to him.

York is not the type to make idle threats.

I mean, I... I'd hate
to think what kind of...

what kind of dirt he has on dad.

I just can't stand any
more of William's scandals.

I want it to go away. I
want William to stay buried.

Mom... why'd you come here?

I can convince all the
kids to sell except Sarah.

You know what Ojai means to her.

The two of you grew up in that company

working for your father.

I'm afraid to even talk
to her about it, Tommy.

I need you to convince Sarah to sell.

Mom, I'm up here getting my life together.

And you're... you're
dragging me back into this?

I don't ask you this lightly.

I swear, I don't ask you this lightly.

I have no one else to turn to.

Holly just wants the money
she thinks that's there.

It's not her family that's at risk, Tommy.

It's ours.

Look, you want me to sell my Ojai shares?

Fine. I'll do it.

But I am not going down there.

Ojai foods is ground zero

for everything that went wrong in my life.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Hey, where's mom?

Good question.

Why is it so cold in here?

Because the thermostat
was turned down to 50.

Nobody knows where mom is.

She's not answering her cell phone.

I'm a little worried.

Well, I'm sure she hasn't been kidnapped

unless the guy's really eco-conscious.

Okay, I'm telling you, I was here earlier,

and she's like, "nothing's wrong,"

but something is definitely wrong.

So I'm gonna stay here
until she gets back.

You might want to reconsider that.

There is gonna be some unpleasantness

coming through that door any minute now.

What do you mean, unpleasantness?

Where's mom?

- She's not here.
- She's not here.

- It's cold in here.
- Sarah, look, I... I just want to say, I'm...

I'm really sorry for what
you and Luc are going through.

- Thanks, Justin.
- But can I ask you a question?

What's that?

Is Luc trying to get citizenship
so he can buy the Lakers?

No.

Okay. Yeah. Is he ambidextrous?

- No, Justin.
- Okay. Well, then this last thing...

he probably never worked
in a French brothel.

This is character assassination.

Hello. Hey.

- Where's mom?
- She's not here.

It's freezing in here.

Yeah.

Look at this. There's a
free Luc Laurent web page.

You can buy, like, free Luc t-shirts,

- free Luc coffee mugs.
- Justin, are you...

Yeah, and for the record,
he's not going to jail, okay?

No, it means "free him from the claws

of the oversexed housewife."

I guess that's me.

Okay, Kitty, would you
please apologize to Sarah?

Why? That's not my web site.

I know. Just do it.

Okay. Okay, fine.

Sarah, I am very sorry
that because of my campaign,

you got sucked up into
this political firestorm,

and you have had to pay a personal price

through almost no fault of your own.

That's your apology?

Wow. You're unbelievable.

Unbelievable? Where
the hell is my apology?

I am fighting for my
political life with a bunch of

ultraconservative yahoos who want my head

because you decided to
fall in love with a guy

who has immigration
issues, and apparently,

okay, Sarah, please just apologize
to Kitty so we can move on.

No.

I don't even know why I'm here.

I'm sorry that Kitty
has political problems,

- but they're not mine to solve.
- Of course not.

She did just say she was sorry.

Did not.

Technically, I heard "sorry."

I didn't mean it either.

You know who deserves an apology here? Me.

There are two things... no,
I have said I want no part...

- Oh, Kevin, seriously, this is not about you.
- Oh, my God.

- Honest to God.
- I have made it clear I want no part of two things...

law and politics... both of
which I've been doing all day...

For the two of you. Have I

- heard a word of thanks?
- Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Luc, Luc, speaking of apologies,

he's the one taking the most hits here.

Yes, a poor innocent
caught up in this insanity.

- I'm so sorry.
- I need to talk to you.

- Hey, Luc, don't listen to all this stupid...
- Yeah.

Internet chatter and stuff.

It's stupid. Is everything okay?

Yeah, um, I'm sorry.
But about this one thing,

it's, uh, it's true.

Oh, please, God. Let him be ambidextrous.

I'm sorry, Kitty. It's true
about the Maison de Joie...

Uh, whorehouse.

Well, a... after my father lost his job,

my parents started to have problems.

So one day they say to me that it's a
good idea for a boy to experience the city.

So they sent you to a whorehouse?

Well, no. They sent me to
my uncle Tony in Marseille.

They thought Tony was an hotelier

and he owned his own hotel.

Ah.

Well, I guess they weren't that far off.

I never lived in the...

Whorehouse.

No. I... I, um, I just
ran errands for people.

I'd bring cigarettes and wine,
swept the floor and washed dishes.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

I didn't know that it
would ever matter to anyone.

No, come on. I'm sorry.

Luc, none of this is your fault.

And as much as I would
like to blame Kitty...

It's not her fault either.

Now she's furious at me.

Kevin's furious at me.

This whole thing is such a disaster.

I don't know what to do.

See, none of this would've ever
happened if it weren't for me.

I cannot let this go on any longer.

I have to make it right.

No, is this what you do for a living...

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Your idea of fun?
- You should turn that off,

'cause it's gonna make you crazy.

Yeah, well, did you hear
the latest bombshell?

About the brothel?

- Oh, my God. You already know about it?
- Is it true?

Apparently.

I mean, it's not as bad as it sounds,

but... but I'm telling you,

- Sarah is completely freaking out.
- You better call her.

I know. I know I should,
but I don't know what to say.

I mean, you know we
can't control this crap

that they put on the Internet.

And if we do some big sort of denial,

it'll just cross over
into the mainstream media.

Well, it's already crossed
over to the mainstream media.

The networks are calling for an interview.

And I've just been told that
Luc's visa has been revoked.

Great. Great. Of course. Of course.

And he's only got three weeks left,

so he's right back where
he started, and I...

you know, what... what... oy.

- What do you think we should do?
- We could schedule

on-camera interviews
tomorrow for both of us.

Tell the truth, defend the family,

demand Luc's visa be reinstated

and talk about what you believe in

and hope that another scandal comes along

and makes people forget about it.

I love you.

You think they'll believe us?

I don't know.

I mean, they've done a
good job of spinning it

even though we have the truth on our side.

It's Kevin. Hi, Kevin.

No, you're kidding me.
Well, no, no. I'm on my way.

I'll... I'll... I...
I will meet you there.

I will meet you there. Wh...

- I gotta go.
- Well, where you going?

LAX. I gotta go. Okay.

Okay, hit it really hard. One, two, three.

- Whoa! Whoo!
- There it goes, right through the middle.

- Whoa! Almost.
- Oh, my goodness. Let's see where it went.

- Hey, mom, coffee.
- Where is it?

Here!

Is it there? There it is!

Oh, my goodness. You have
to hit it in that hole now.

Okay. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Move it where you want it.

Oh, God, Tommy, she's so adorable.

And she's so smart... so smart.

I know. I feel so lucky.

You know what the hardest part is?

It's feeling like she...
like she deserves more.

Oh, Tommy, stop it.
To her, you're perfect.

You are her one and only perfect daddy.

And then she'll hit adolescence
and discover all your flaws.

Yeah.

In dad's case, the flaws just
keep on coming, don't they?

Yeah.

He was a whole lot less
than we all deserved.

You know, the hardest
thing about letting go is...

Letting go of him...

the hope that...

he was the father that I wanted him to be.

You know, we've all been telling ourselves

this story, this big fairy tale,

that the wonderful
business that William built

somehow made up for
all the pain he caused,

that... that the very best part of William

was his damn company.

It's not true.

The very best part of William's you...

all of his children.

And I don't want you to suffer anymore.

I don't want the sins of the
father to haunt you anymore, Tommy.

If I... come down...

help convince the others
to sell the company,

is that...

is that the end of it?

Yes, short of burning it to the ground.

Okay.

I guess it's time for me to come home.

Thank you.

There's everything but the fog.

Why would there be fog?

In the movie, "Casablanca,"

there's fog when they said good-bye.

Looks like we're in our own movie.

Oh, my God. He's actually filming us.

Look, just ignore him.

Wonder how they'll twist this around.

They'll probably say you're dumping me.

Just don't look at him. Just look at me.

It's time, Sarah. I gotta go.

I know.

I know.

I gotta go through security.

You gonna be okay here?

As long as you don't say,
"here's looking at you, kid."

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay, go.

Thank God I caught you.

- Kit, they're in here.
- Kevin, I'm sorry. I have to go.

- Sit down. You're not going anywhere.
- Kevin...

Oh, my God! Oh, my God. I...

I can't believe I found you.

Do you know how many bars
there are in this airport?

What are you doing here, Kitty?

Oh, Sarah. I c... I could
never let you guys do this.

- Oh, Kitty.
- Oh, Sarah. I'm so sorry.

- No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.

I never should've let these
crazy people walk all over us...

I should've just kept my mouth shut.

No, you shouldn't have, and that's all...

Girls, just get on with it. Please.

Right. Right. Listen, Luc.
I... I don't want you to leave.

You have three more
weeks on your old visa,

and I think that we
should totally fight this.

I... I'm sorry, Kitty, but I
think I've caused enough damage.

- I... I...
- Listen, Kitty, I don't think I'm up for the fight.

These... these people, they're relentless.

And then there's a
zillion crazies out there

- making up all kinds of lies.
- Kevin.

- Yeah.
- Get me the douche bag.

Okay, those are four words

I never want to hear
from my sister. Kevin.

- What?
- Just... just go. Get him.

- Okay. Fine, fine.
- Kitty, what are you doing?

Well, you know what?

They hijacked our story,
and we're gonna reclaim it,

even if it's just for us.

So what, you're gonna tell that guy?

Yeah, why not? Why not?

I might be one voice
in the cyber wilderness,

but better one than nothing.

He made me promise you
wouldn't break his camera.

I'll try to control myself.

Oh, give me a break.
This isn't fun for me.

Okay, let's roll it.

Hi, I'm Kitty Walker-McCallister.

And, uh, and... and this,
this is Sarah Walker.

Hi.

And she is a professional businesswoman,

taxpayer, soccer mom and my sister.

A... and this, this is Luc... Luc Laurent.

And, other who takes no
jobs citizen from Americans.

He loves Sarah and Sarah loves him.

Hey.

Wow. That was a big scene
at the airport today.

- You saw it?
- It's popping up everywhere.

I think you're about to go viral.

You might want to rephrase that.

Oh, right. That didn't come
out like I wanted it to.

So how are you? How's life?

I didn't want to wake you
when I came in last night,

and all hell broke loose this morning.

I feel like I haven't
seen you in two days.

Well, remember that, uh, meeting

- that I had with my boss the other day?
- Yeah.

Uh, he closed the restaurant... for good.

We're out of business. So that's how I am.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

Yeah. I mean, timing could
not suck more, but I'm okay.

Can I offer you some advice

based on the last two days?

- Don't answer the phone.
- No, I'm actually being serious.

I swore up and down

I was through with politics and lawyering,

and I've done nothing
but for the past two days.

But I'm glad I did,
because I'm good at it.

And I wasn't working for anyone else.

I was doing it for me

and for my family, for love.

It's time for you to
open your own restaurant.

Oh, Kevin, that's a lovely thought.

But collectively, we're jobless,

we spent the majority of our savings

- trying to make a baby...
- I know it'll be hard,

but we'll figure out
a way to make it work.

It's time for you to start dreaming big

and do what you want to do.

And you're ready for it.

And you know I'm right.

Kevin, look at you.

You're making moves in the background

for everybody else.

You need to start doing what you love.

I just need to figure out

- exactly what that is first.
- Well, take your time.

I can pick up some catering shifts

to tide us over.

Wait. Did you watch all of it?

Uh, no, not yet.

Oh, well, then you
haven't seen the best part.

Now see, we come from a
very close-knit family.

And we all look out for one another.

And... and over the last
few days, I have had to watch

Sarah and Luc suffer because
I happen to be running

in a very noxious political climate.

- And hey, listen.
- I'm sorry. Could I just interrupt?

- Sure.
- Kitty never, ever intervened on Luc's behalf.

No. And if... you can just
look at my platform to see

that I actually believe
in legal immigration.

I mean, in fact,

I believe in increasing
our border control.

Which I disagree with, actually.

Well, yes, of course you do,

because my sister is a flaming liberal.

Ugh, but if you heard
her views on amnesty...

- I mean, they're crazy.
- Uh, uh, Sarah.

Not crazy. But very,

- very... conservative.
- Conservative, yes.

I'm a conservative. I know who I am.

So if you are looking for a person

- who believes in all that claptrap...
- Claptrap?

- This is your woman.
- Sarah, that is not...

Uh, you know what? You know what?

Uh, let me interrupt here for a second.

You see, this right here

is what's so great about our family.

We can despise each
other's political opinions,

but we don't despise each other.

And that is the spirit that
I want to take to Washington.

You see, if I ever get to the point

where my ideology is so rigid

that I can't see another point of view

or if my loyalty lies with my
party instead of my country,

- well, then I want the voters to send me home.
- Yeah!

And a couple of more things.

She loves to be called Cat,

so please do that as often as possible,

and she's also very generous.

So, ladies and gentlemen,
please step up to the bar,

because drinks and food
are on her tab. Thanks, Cat.

You want to get a drink?
