Brothers & Sisters (2006–2011): Season 4, Episode 22 - Love All - full transcript
The Walkers seem to all being going through an adjustment period, as Cooper acts out against Sarah while Luc becomes a member of the family, Justin has trouble finding the same passion for medicine that he had while serving in Ira...
We're here!
- The immigrants have arrived!
- Darn it!
I wanted to have everything put away
by the time you got here.
Come on. We're only here for three days.
We're not waiting out the apocalypse.
But I've got Cooper's cereal...
Orange juice for Paige.
You brought your own food?
What's the matter with mine?
The painter said with all the sanding,
there's gonna be too much dust.
- I didn't want to waste it.
- It's such a good idea.
Luc is moving in, so you're
giving the whole place
a brand-new coat of paint
for a fresh new start.
I hope it's not too fresh.
It's a big adjustment for everyone.
Cooper's going a little...
Crazy. Mom,
Can I play my video game?!
Yes, I have become that mom that uses
video games as a babysitting device.
Trust me, it's better for all of us.
Can I set this up
in the living room?
After you give me my hug.
Where's my hug?
Hug! Hug! Come on.
Hugs.
Thank you. Where's Paige?
She's doing a girl scout
camping weekend.
No internet, no cell phones.
Luc's convinced she's gonna
come home a whole new person.
Luc, congratulations.
You've got your own set of keys
and everything.
I am a pasadenian now.
A pasadenian?
You are a pasadenian, that's for sure.
Narrow lake... What's going on?
Mom, look!
I'm drilling for buried treasure.
Cooper's become obsessed
with the drilling we're doing up there.
Maybe he'll become a geologist.
Have they found anything yet?
They haven't, but
I hope they find something soon
because the hole they're digging
isn't just in the ground.
- We are hemorrhaging cash.
- We just need to have a little faith.
I'm certain there's
something of value there.
I'm just certain of it.
I hope you're right,
cause we're betting the company on it.
Your mom and your grandma are trying
to have a conversation. Stop it.
What? I can't understand
your accent.
Excuse me.
That is very rude.
I'm just gonna unpack your stuff
just over here out of the way.
That's it?
I told him it was rude.
He's 8 years old. What else
do you want me to say to him?
Talk to him.
Okay, Cooper, time-out.
- Because he said so?
- No, because I said so.
That chair, five minutes.
Right now.
- I am too old for time-outs.
- I don't care.
You know, Sarah, he really is right.
After about 5 or 6,
there needs to be some consequences.
Okay, everybody take time-out.
It's the drilling company.
Excuse me.
- Hello? Yes. Thanks...
- Grandma, when's lunch?
Cooper, time-out.
Okay. Yep, do it. Thank you.
What did they say?
What they always say, mom.
They need more money to dig deeper.
They'll call me
if they find anything.
Oja?'s gonna have to sell
some more land to pay for this.
- I'm hungry
- What do you want...
Peanut butter and jelly,
string cheese and grapes?
What happened to the time-out?
I thought nobody liked
time-out anymore.
Is there any mac and cheese?
He's hungry. That's probably
why he's going so crazy.
Honestly, what do you want me to do,
starve him?
But at least five minutes of time-out.
That's what it's all about.
I can take him upstairs.
He's been like that for a week now.
- A week?
- We had an incident, small thing
Jamie Barton, her ponytail
and a stapler.
Let me take him upstairs.
If he's hungry, honestly,
there's no point.
- Okay, let me take the bags upstairs.
- Thank you.
Does this mean my time-out's over?
Yes. Go.
Get out of here. Scram.
- Stay out of trouble.
- Okay.
Is everything okay
with the two of you?
He's an 8-year-old boy, mom.
You've been there.
No. Luc.
Between you and Luc.
We're fine.
I'm gonna make this work, mom.
I just wish people
could be more... Patient.
Transitions are hard.
We could maybe start with crepes.
Have you ever been
to one of those crepe places?
Never been,
but I have thought about it.
I want people to do more than just
consider eating at our restaurant.
- How serious are you guys about this?
- Ask him. He's the one with the money.
I've often thought about opening a
restaurant this would be a perfect time.
What about a wine bar?
You know, with the big taps.
We talked about that. It requires
a liquor license. It takes forever.
Fine. Don't sell booze.
Don't expect our family to show up.
The point of this is not to feed our
family. The point is to make some money.
When you need a lawyer to draw up
your contracts, give me a call.
Sure. Maybe.
Maybe? I was a corporate litigator
for ten years.
- I can draw up a property contract.
- Of course you can.
I meant that hopefully you'll be busy
doing something else by then.
I'm busy doing something else today.
Sarah, who actually wants my help,
has asked me to look over
the Oja? drilling contracts.
Good luck with your restaurant.
I have work to do.
- Don't be upset.
- I'm not upset. I'm just busy.
The contract to train
the Somali police...
Bill Stanton wants it
awarded to his company.
Of course he does. It's a massive,
open-ended commitment.
And obviously, he needs your committee
to appropriate the funds.
And I wanna catch him cheating.
National security
shouldn't make you rich.
I understand.
So I should wait for his call?
Actually, there's a benefit
at his club tomorrow...
A tennis tournament.
Excuse me. It's my wife.
All right, what'd you forget?
I'm meeting with Jim Hix.
You said something about education cuts.
Was that a "don't forget
to bring it up" or "steer clear"?
That depends on whether
he's with Carolyn or not.
Right, his wife!
Superintendent of
Humboldt county schools Carolyn.
Right. Thank you. I'm so glad
I called you. Was Evan awake?
No, he's still asleep.
All right, make sure you send me
a lot of pictures, okay?
Listen, you concentrate
on getting those endorsements
cause they could really turn
this campaign around, right?
From your lips...
I love you.
Love you. Sorry.
She after an endorsement from Hix?
She's gunning for McCarty, too.
She's on her way to Sacramento now.
She's worked really hard
for this, and...
That's the issue for me, is if I get
on the wrong side of Stanton,
her campaign will be
the first casualty.
They will come after her hard.
My hat is off to Kitty.
It's a damn fine virgin run. But...
she's not getting
those endorsements.
The far right is going to
determine the primary,
and they don't like her.
All due respect,
don't worry about harming
your wife's campaign.
It'll be over this time next month.
Joe, I've known you a long time,
but let me tell you something.
Never bet against my wife.
Why do you look like Kitty
at one of her fund-raisers?
- Is it that bad?
- Pearls?
The bungalow that I love
is having an open house.
Apparently, the selling agent
takes you more seriously
- if you look professional, so...
- I heard they also take you seriously
if you actually have the money
to pay for the house.
Very funny. I'm just going
to check it out. You want to come?
No, because I am actually
trying to make lasagna.
Wait. You're cooking?
Jake's wife Jessica is a vegetarian.
I figured I'd make something
bring it on over.
Is this them?
She asked me if I had
any pictures to bring over.
Maybe you could grab something
at that organic place on main street.
They have really good food.
Her husband
was just killed by an IED.
I think I should probably
cook something.
You're right. Maybe soup?
Soup's a lot easier,
and it's comforting.
Yeah, maybe soup.
- Justin, are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Cause ever since the funeral...
- No, I really am.
I just you know, want to do
something nice and help her out.
That's nice.
You want some company?
You go check out your house.
- It would be our house.
- Right. Our house.
Bye.
Season 04 Episode 22
Love All
- What are you doing here?
- This is what unemployed losers do.
They hang out in their mother's
kitchens making sandwiches.
You want a turkey and swiss?
There's, like, 4 pounds of meat in here.
I know, don't ask.
Make two or three.
Okay.
So how's the big move in going?
You know...
It's going.
Did you get a chance to
look over those contracts?
It's all standard. The longer they keep
drilling, the more you have to pay.
According to the local well records
for the surrounding area,
- there's gotta be at lea water there.
- So all you can do now is wait.
- Which I'm really bad at.
- Where is Luc?
- He usually manages to distract me.
- Actually, we're fighting.
Stop.
He's too beautiful for that.
Nobody's too beautiful for that.
You really do need help.
You know what goes well with waiting?
- Turkey?
- Wine!
- Are you guys always here?
- I know. It's sad.
Hey, Evan.
Come give me a kiss, buddy.
Careful. He might eat you. He's got
the appetite of a football player.
Do you want a glass?
No. I'm gonna wait
till the sun goes down.
And besides, I gotta play tennis.
Tennis?
I got roped into playing
this doubles tournament.
So I figured I'd go
hit with the pro.
Why don't you ask this pro
standing right here?
You mean drinking right there.
- I was awesome back in the day.
- We were awesome.
Kevrah. Kevrah.
Got him.
Then what happened?
There was so much smoke and sand,
I couldn't see,
but I felt this guy grab my leg,
so I reached down and picked him up
- guess what. It was my buddy brian.
- That's unbelievable.
- It was pretty cool. Look out!
- Go left, go left, go left!
- Get him right there.
- What are you doing?!
- We're just playing.
- You have been playing for hours.
It's a beautiful day outside.
- Why don't you go outside and play?
- Let me kill a couple more invaders.
Get him. He's right there.
Darling, I love you.
But why are you here?
I need to make soup for a friend,
I was wondering if you could help me.
Chicken soup? You know doctors from med
school. Have 'em write a prescription.
- I've my hands full today.
- She's not sick.
It's Jake's widow...
The guy who died in Afghanistan.
- Got him. Got him.
- You got him. Head shot.
Time's up. Here.
You can take this.
Go outside. Shoot some hoops.
Look at all the stuff
I drug out of the garage.
And stay in the yard
and don't go near the pool.
Miss you, buddy.
Come on. Let's go make some soup.
Let me kill this one more bad guy.
I'll be there in two minutes. Love you.
I can't bring stragglers.
It's a private club.
- What club?
- Altadena tennis club.
Card-carrying members.
Since 1982.
What, are you two drinking?
It's not even noon.
- We're being European.
- You're being something.
Don't worry, we're leaving.
We've to practice for tennis tournament
- Wait a minute. Hold on.
- Tell him how great we were as doubles.
They're good, very good. Of course,
they almost got thrown out of the club.
- She only slapped him.
- It was a bad call, you know it.
- I can't.
- Why not?
I've got Cooper for the weekend.
When is the tournament?
- It's tomorrow. Today's practice.
- That's perfect.
I can take care of Cooper today,
tomorrow, he's got a play date.
No, but, I was gonna take him
to the play date and stay with him.
He's 8 years old.
I think one mom is enough.
- I don't know about that.
- Think about this it'd be fabulous.
It would be Robert and Kevin
against you and Luc.
The whole point is that Kevrah
was great together.
We don't even know if Luc can play.
- Probably not.
- Now's your chance to find out.
It would be wonderful for the two of you
to have some adult time, honey.
- So it's done. Take them away.
- Can I make a deal with you?
- You watch him till the nanny arrives?
- Absolutely.
Good! And then I get
to play with Kevrah.
And Luc.
And Luc.
- It's perfect, isn't it?
- It looks amazing.
- I think you should do it.
- What?
You mean, like, put an offer in?
You have the money.
Pull it from Oja? and transfer it
into your personal account
and make an offer.
The agent already got two offers.
They always say that.
That's a sales technique.
I saw a couple
take out their checkbook.
Then transfer the money
and take out yours.
It's just an offer. You're not
obligated to spend a dime.
So what, pick up the phone
and make a couple of calls?
That's all you have to do.
If you really love this house...
Then make it happen.
She's looking at a house?
That's very exciting.
She's just looking,
so it's not really a big deal.
It's a really big deal.
It would be your first house.
We're not buying anything, so
maybe we should just make the soup.
You've chopped that enough.
Put a big handful
in the cheesecloth,
and then tie it up with this string.
Put it in the soup.
It's an herb bouquet.
And we can take it out before
we give it to her.
Right.
Why do you have your dog tags on?
Because I found 'em by my uniform when
I was getting dressed for the funeral.
Jake.
Why did he go back, Justin?
It breaks my heart
that he was there.
Somebody has to be.
Are you all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
I know this hit you hard. Have you been
going to your meetings?
I've been going to my NA meetings.
I'm fine, really.
Then maybe you could take
your dog tags off.
Okay. This is all done.
So I'll just drop it in the soup?
Cooper, you know the rules.
No swimming without a grown-up.
I know how to swim.
I just wanted to do a cannonball.
If you had hit your head and no one
was there, you would've drowned.
And don't even get me started
about the whole clothes thing.
- Were you with him?
- I went to get him a towel.
You said that you would keep an eye
on him while I got changed.
I was, but he wanted to go swimming,
so I went to pick up his bathing suit
- and told him to wait by the pool.
- You took too long.
What? Cooper, seriously?
You told me you would wait.
How am I supposed to trust you
if you do things like that?
What were you doing outside anyway?
You said that you would stay here,
play video games
and stay out of trouble.
Cooper, my goodness. You're soaking wet.
What, did you fall in the pool?
He decided to go for a swim,
alone, with his clothes on.
You're the one who told me
to go outside.
I told you to go out
and shoot some baskets
rather than sitting here
and shooting monsters all day.
- They're aliens.
- That is enough from you.
Go get changed.
I will deal with you later.
Off you go.
- Look, mom, I told you...
- I know, Sarah. I know.
You told me you like to use these games
as some kind of babysitter,
but, honey, the one he's playing is
the most violent game I have ever seen.
That is ridiculous.
He's shooting blue blobs.
You never minded when Tommy
was playing with "duck hunt."
"Duck hunt"?
Besides it's a lot safer than
swimming in that pool alone.
I didn't expect him to jump
in the pool fully clothed.
Yeah, no one did.
I have to tell you,
I think this game is a problem.
All of these games are a problem.
You told me yourself,
he stapled some girl's ponytail?
He's a boy, a little aggressive.
He needs an outlet.
Boys will be boys, is that it?
- Could you back me up here?
- I'm sorry. I think your mom is right.
Stop making excuses.
Video games or not,
Cooper has been acting out.
Cooper is going through a bit
of a rough patch right now.
I am doing the very best I can, and
I think the last thing that Cooper needs
- is more cooks in the kitchen.
- You asked for my opinion. I told you.
Yeah, you did.
If you two are finished ganging up
on me, I'm gonna go talk to my boy.
Look at us...
A couple of men of leisure
hitting some tennis balls
on a Saturday afternoon.
- That's us.
- Feels weird to me...
Scheduling my day around
court times and martini lunches,
nowhere to report?
Does it feel weird to you?
No, but that's probably
cause I still have my job
as a united states senator.
Go on. Get up there. I'm serving.
All right, these go.
- That was on my side.
- I didn't think you had it.
I know how to play tennis.
It's gonna be a long day.
Let's go. Buck up. Here we go.
I know technically,
you're still working. But what's next?
- You don't have anything lined up?
- Don't worry. I'll think of something.
You're the most ambitious
person I'll ever know.
That's why I can't figure out
why you're so cool playing tennis
- on a Saturday afternoon.
- We all have to enjoy our lives.
- Love-15.
- Bring it on.
- Nice try, babe.
- Don't patronize me.
You know what? Maybe you're right.
Why am I so high strung?
If you can handle the easy life,
I'm sure I could.
- I need to learn how to chill. Right?
- You need to learn how to play it net.
15 all.
- That's my partner!
- Nice shot.
- Thanks.
- That's what I'm talking about.
You know what? That did feel good.
I should play more tennis.
Here we go. All right, kev.
Let's do it.
All right.
- I had it.
- It was my ball.
Why don't you play singles?
- A point.
- Don't get cocky.
Nice shot.
- Just out.
- What?
- There is no way that was out.
- It was too close for me to call.
- I think it was out.
- Of course you do.
What's that supposed to mean?
You question my tennis game
my parenting.
You and my mother should play together
cause it feels
like you're in agreement
about a lot of things lately.
- I think it was out. That's all.
- Let me play forehand.
I have an idea.
You guys have such a great history on
the court. Why don't you play together?
- Luc, you come over here.
- Fine by me.
- Works for me.
- A thousand thank yous.
You kidding me? Been there.
And there's my move,
so it's your turn.
Which move will it be?
There. You see? You really
have to think about this game.
You have to strategize.
You have to suss out your opponent.
- There! I took you.
- I like "galactic showdown" better.
You fly space ships
and shoot bad guys,
just like uncle Justin did
in the war.
It was so cool.
He saved his friend
by dragging him through the desert.
And then there were
real-life helicopters.
He got to jump out of one once.
It was so cool.
Yes, I know.
He was very brave.
Okay. There, it's your move.
King me, grammy!
I'm not going to king you.
You have to earn that.
Don't you think?
These biscotti are amazing. I feel like
I'm sitting on a piazza in Florence.
God, I'm good.
Hello, boys. Working on our menu?
You have to taste these biscotti.
- They're fantastic.
- I can't. I'm in training.
I thought you're working on contracts.
Where have you been, Wimbledon?
Maybe next year.
I whizzed through my contracts,
and then I tripped the light fantastic
at the Altadena country club.
You're kidding. They let you back in
after the incident?
That was one stupid harassment suit
from a disgruntled tennis pro.
- And guess what.
- What?
Kevrah lives.
- Kevrah?
- Don't ask.
You should've seen us
on the court today
Like riding a bicycle.
I was Venus and Sarah's Serena.
Were Venus and Serena drinking? Cause
you seem very relaxed all of a sudden.
Actually, I did have
a glass of wine with lunch.
You know what I've realized?
I've worked since I was 15.
That's 23 years without a break.
And for what?
- Money.
- And I'll work again,
but right now, no one's exactly
beating down the door to hire me.
So this might be
a blessing in disguise.
No one actually needs my help,
not even you guys.
Stop it. If you want to get involved
in the restaurant, you can.
- I just assumed that you...
- No. That's your passion.
- Now I have my own passion.
- Really? And what might that be?
Tennis. So if you'd excuse me,
I'm gonna go and soak
cause I need to be nice and loose
and limber for my big game tomorrow.
Kevrah for match point.
Walker serves. Aces.
Crowd goes wild.
Who knew unemployment
could be so much fun?
- How did it go?
- Okay.
Okay. Good call on the soup.
- She really liked it.
- Good. I'm glad.
So...
The house was amazing.
Absolutely amazing. A huge backyard,
a swing on the front porch,
built-ins in every room...
It was perfect.
Cool.
I'd really like for you
to come see it with me tonight.
I was kinda hoping we could just chill
and watch a movie.
The thing is...
I know I was supposed to be
window-shopping,
My mom says that the money
should be back in my account by Monday,
and there were other buyers
that were interested, so...
- I put an offer in.
- Wait. You made an offer?
- We don't have to pay them anything.
- Time-out. Time...
You made an offer on a house
that I haven't even set foot in yet?
I know. Obviously, if you don't like it,
we're not gonna buy it.
I want you to come
and see it with me.
- It's perfect.
- This is crazy to me.
What is so crazy about us
wanting to buy a house together?
- I don't know where it's coming from.
- Fine. You don't get it.
Then explain it to me, cause,
this morning you said that you're fine
you seemed to be dealing with this.
This is hitting you a lot harder
- than you're willing to admit.
- What do you want from me?
My friends are dying. I'm having trouble
thinking about houses and blenders.
And the degree
I'm gonna get in seven years.
- Calm down.
- I'm sorry.
I know that Jake was your friend,
but think about it.
The last thing he would want you to do
is stop living your life,
if you're trying to shame me into not
wanting a comfortable future with you,
Then you're right,
I don't understand.
Fine. I have nothing else
to tell you.
All right, let's stretch it out.
I got you. Really feel it.
There you go.
When I say "we are",
you say "champions".
- We are...
- Champions.
- You in this, sis?
- Yep.
- You have to say it.
- Yeah, sorry. To win it, bro.
All right. What's up?
Cooper's play date canceled.
Mom's bringing him to watch the game.
There's no way
he's gonna sit still that long.
Sarah, she raised five of us.
We didn't have to deal with a
strange Frenchman moving into our house.
There was that one exchange student.
She's, like, the child whisperer?
Let her focus on Cooper.
You focus on the match.
We'll be fine.
Go, team Kevrah.
Where're those guys?
I don't know.
We scared them off yesterday?
Robert? Doubtful.
Senator.
- Bill Stanton.
- Good to meet you.
It's a beautiful day for a good
cause, wouldn't you say?
I'm, just happy
to be here to help out.
I was sorry to hear
you're not running for reelection.
You got a line on what's next?
- That's sort of the $1-million question
- Don't tell me it's golf.
That'd be a prime waste
of national resources.
Now. You'd wait until you see
my game before you say that.
Maybe we should play sometime.
Maybe we should.
It's a nice club you have here.
- You're not a member, are you?
- I'm surprised they let me in at all.
I think I've passed bills
with less paperwork.
Sorry about that.
- Bureaucracy, right?
- Indeed.
Next time, call me up.
I'll walk you straight in.
Or I could join.
I'd be glad to sponsor you.
Here.
- Try my cell if you're interested.
- Thank you.
Pleasure, senator.
I don't want to watch tennis.
Why couldn't I have stayed home
with Evan and his nanny?
It's gonna be fun. Hold on.
I want to put more block
on your nose. Here.
- You lathered him up in the car.
- It's hot out.
I missed his nose.
All right, never mind.
Just wear this.
How's that?
I wore a hat every day in Iraq.
You did?
- Everybody did.
- That's awesome.
Did you also tell him you ended up
in a hospital in Germany?
- All right. Call it.
- No need. You can serve.
So they have a great bar here.
What do you want me to do?
I ran into him.
When it comes to Bill Stanton?
Be rude and ignore him.
- He's the host. It's his charity event.
- Right. So write a check.
Don't schmooze with the prince
of darkness. What did he want?
- Help on votes for a contract?
- We were talking about golf.
I hope no one got a picture,
bad publicity.
You didn't work for me.
For Kitty, I mean.
But you're right.
I don't work at all.
So let's play tennis.
McCallister and Laurent
to serve, first set.
- 15-love.
- Nice serve.
- Where the hell did that come from?
- Lucky shot.
That wasn't a lucky shot.
That was an ace.
Sorry Rebecca couldn't come today.
- Is she busy?
- Yeah, she was.
While you're in there, you want
to grab me a granola bar?
Out. 15 all.
Why do you have an umbrella?
It's not for the rain.
It's for the sun.
It's like your hat,
only bigger, way bigger.
- Cooper, stop it.
- I'm just shooting Luc.
15-30.
Would you grab that from him?
- You're the one who started it.
- What did I do?
You think he got the idea to turn that
into a gun all by himself?
Yes, mom. He's a boy.
You take away the umbrella,
he'll use a stick.
You take away stick, he'll use
his hand. I had nothing to do with it.
- I get a soda. Would you like anything?
- No, thank you.
You should really knock that off.
Stop it.
- 30 all.
- Hi, honey.
- How did you miss that?
- Sorry, I got distracted.
Kevrah was undefeated in 17 years.
I'd like to keep it that way.
- Nice shot.
- 40-30.
Cooper, stop it.
What are you doing?
- I'll handle this.
- He's throwing balls. This isn't cool.
You talking to him now
is only make things worse.
- They not get better if you butting in.
- He's my son.
Yes, he is. And where do I fit in?
I don't know, but he has a father,
who, by the way,
is not thrilled about you,
and obviously, neither is Cooper.
I'm stuck.
I'm trying to figure it out.
You let me know when you do. Till then,
we're not be able to play as a team.
Sorry. It was an accident.
Listen to me, that was no accident.
The corkscrew,
the swimming pool, this...
None of it was an accident,
was it, Cooper?
Okay, you're coming home with me.
Mom, this is my job, not yours.
- Sorry, Kevin. We gotta forfeit.
- What?
Get outta here.
- Come on. We're leaving.
- What, already? Who won the match?
No one. It was a forfeit. Come on.
- Where is Cooper?
- He's with Sarah, so let's go.
You know what? Time-out.
What's the deal?
- Are you mad at me or something?
- No, I'm not mad at you.
I'm onto you, Justin.
- You're on...
- The funeral, the dog tags,
all these war stories to Cooper...
I know where this is headed.
- Don't put words in my mouth.
- You want to go back to this war.
- I don't want to go back. I want to...
- Don't lie to me.
I've been through this before.
You went there twice.
The last time almost killed you.
Why would you go back?
Your life is great.
You're in med school.
- You have a wife who loves you.
- And I love her, too, and there's...
You made a commitment
to stay with her.
You can't walk away from your life.
You can't.
That feels good.
Andy Roddick passed out on my couch.
Roger Federer's a better player.
Yeah, but Roddick is cuter.
I'm flattered.
But we both lost the big game.
I bet you played hard
and gave it your all.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Maybe I feel guilty.
I haven't exactly
been paying attention to you lately.
That's all right. I'm not a child.
Although I have been
behaving like one recently.
We're having a baby in seven months.
I need to get a job, any job.
It's not about the job.
Okay, I need to make money.
It's not really about the money either.
You need a purpose.
And it's not tennis.
Can we just leave
all the purpose to you,
just for a moment?
I really want you
to open this restaurant.
Maybe that's my purpose,
encouraging you.
Do you know what I miss?
What?
The old Kevin Walker...
who ran towards his purpose.
- So why am I running away from it now?
- Because you don't know what it is
and you hate uncertainty.
At least I'm certain of you.
Now I know we talked about
Luc moving in,
and you were excited
about the idea of it. But now,
there's a whole new
member of the family, and
we think you might be
finding it a bit challenging.
It's different than what I expected.
I get that.
You know, for me, too.
But he's here now, so
it's time that we all learn...
How we're gonna get along.
Now I love Luc.
So when you hurt his feelings, you hurt
my feelings, the same way
that I'd be hurt if somebody hurt you.
You know what I'm talking about?
Good.
So do you have something
you might want to say to Luc?
I'm sorry, Luc.
Thank you, Cooper.
Okay, now you go brush your teeth,
start a chapter,
and I'll be in to tuck you in, okay?
I love you.
Nicely done.
Thank you.
I wonder if he's upset that he's not
the man of the house anymore.
You know, he used to...
come and cuddle
and fall asleep and...
he always had me all to himself.
Speaking of cuddling...
You know, I don't think Cooper
is the only problem here.
I think you need to deal
with your own issues.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
Okay, here's the deal...
What if the only reason
we've been deliriously happy
is because we've been living
in a fantasy?
- And now it's...
- Real.
Real is good, right?
Real is real. It's paint colors
and temper tantrums and...
And the emotional lives
of 8 year olds.
I don't want to mess this up, Luc.
For me, this is...
- This is a huge deal.
- And it's a huge deal for me, too.
I want to be a family with you.
But you think Cooper's tough?
Try living with a 13-year-old girl
who hates you.
You're so relaxed about it.
I don't think you
really have thought
through the stress
that children put on a relationship.
What if it's just too hard?
Now I can deal with you
breaking my heart.
But I can't deal
with you breaking theirs.
I'm not gonna break anyone's heart.
But we don't know that, do we?
I love you, Sarah. And I'm not trying
to be their father or anything.
No, I know. But do you know
who you do want to be?
Your partner,
a very positive role model
for the kids. And for that,
I'm gonna need to have
my own relationship with them.
Then we are very, very, very lucky.
- What have you got there?
- I wanted to thank you
- for taking care of Evan for so long.
- Don't be silly.
- I'm his grandmother. I love it.
- I know. That's why it's not cash.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
So... he's asleep
in the living room right now
in his playpen thingy.
The nanny left right
after we got back from the game.
I'm just packing up
all of his stuff right now.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
Did Justin talk to you about
wanting to go back to Afghanistan?
God. He did.
Please tell me you didn't
say anything to encourage him.
No, I just listened.
To what?
Nora, the first time you enlist,
it can be about a bunch of things.
But if you reenlist, it's personal.
It's about wanting to get back
to people who you love
and who understand you in a way
that nobody else possibly can.
That's easy for you to say.
You're not going back to war.
We all go to war in different ways.
But I don't want my son to go back
to this war ever again.
I understand.
But that pull is awfully strong.
And that's your son.
Maybe you want to go
take care of him.
My gosh.
You would not believe
the traffic out there. The 101 is
bumper-to-bumper ridiculous.
- Where's the little guy?
- He's...
- just got him down.
- Shoot.
- So...
- No, no, no.
First of all, just tell me,
who won the match?
Luc and I won.
You're kidding me? You beat Kevrah?
- In a forfeit.
- Wait a minute...
Cooper had a meltdown,
so Sarah had to leave.
So?
So...
Here's to my endorsements.
I got 'em both.
That is fantastic.
It was a long shot,
but I worked my magic,
and as soon as Hix caved,
I called McCarty and...
- It's like I always say.
- What? What do you always say?
Never bet against my wife.
So how was the rest of your weekend?
- Anything important?
- Nothing to tell.
Hello?
I've been calling you.
Yeah, I just needed to get out
of the house so I took a run.
At night? That's a little unsafe.
Good thing I have
reflectors on my shoes.
You want to talk?
You know what?
I think you should do the talking.
I don't know how to help you.
Okay.
Rebecca, ever since the funeral,
I've been thinking about
how much Jake
and the other guys mean to me.
And it's so much more
than anything that's going on
in my life right now.
See, I...
I don't think I want to be
a doctor anymore.
It doesn't feel right.
It's all about being the best
not a team.
There's one place where I felt like
I belonged to a team...
Where guys had my back.
- Don't. Don't you dare.
- No, let me talk, all right?
Just because I'm feeling it doesn't mean
I'm gonna act upon it, okay?
So talk.
I'm not happy.
What? Is it me or...
Is it the house?
I'm sorry I got so excited.
That house would mean nothing to me
without you in it.
You don't have to explain all that.
Cause you
are the only thing
that works in my life.
You are the one true thing.
I just want to feel...
like I belong somewhere else, too.
And you will.
I'm leaving.
Are you trapped
under something heavy?
What are you doing in here?
Nothing.
You're alone in the pantry.
What is it?
If you're upset about me and Luc,
don't be.
We had a really good chat last night.
We're gonna be fine.
It's not that, is it?
I was just thinking.
I want to tell you something.
Motherhood never gets easier,
even when they're grown.
No one ever told me that, and I...
I just wanted to make sure
I told you.
Thanks, mom.
- What the hell is that?
- You gotta see this.
It might even cheer you up. Come.
So you must visualize the attack
and use the move to defend yourself.
- Good job.
- What are they doing?
- Keep practicing.
- Having their own relationship.
Again.
The Walker Team
Pour
- The immigrants have arrived!
- Darn it!
I wanted to have everything put away
by the time you got here.
Come on. We're only here for three days.
We're not waiting out the apocalypse.
But I've got Cooper's cereal...
Orange juice for Paige.
You brought your own food?
What's the matter with mine?
The painter said with all the sanding,
there's gonna be too much dust.
- I didn't want to waste it.
- It's such a good idea.
Luc is moving in, so you're
giving the whole place
a brand-new coat of paint
for a fresh new start.
I hope it's not too fresh.
It's a big adjustment for everyone.
Cooper's going a little...
Crazy. Mom,
Can I play my video game?!
Yes, I have become that mom that uses
video games as a babysitting device.
Trust me, it's better for all of us.
Can I set this up
in the living room?
After you give me my hug.
Where's my hug?
Hug! Hug! Come on.
Hugs.
Thank you. Where's Paige?
She's doing a girl scout
camping weekend.
No internet, no cell phones.
Luc's convinced she's gonna
come home a whole new person.
Luc, congratulations.
You've got your own set of keys
and everything.
I am a pasadenian now.
A pasadenian?
You are a pasadenian, that's for sure.
Narrow lake... What's going on?
Mom, look!
I'm drilling for buried treasure.
Cooper's become obsessed
with the drilling we're doing up there.
Maybe he'll become a geologist.
Have they found anything yet?
They haven't, but
I hope they find something soon
because the hole they're digging
isn't just in the ground.
- We are hemorrhaging cash.
- We just need to have a little faith.
I'm certain there's
something of value there.
I'm just certain of it.
I hope you're right,
cause we're betting the company on it.
Your mom and your grandma are trying
to have a conversation. Stop it.
What? I can't understand
your accent.
Excuse me.
That is very rude.
I'm just gonna unpack your stuff
just over here out of the way.
That's it?
I told him it was rude.
He's 8 years old. What else
do you want me to say to him?
Talk to him.
Okay, Cooper, time-out.
- Because he said so?
- No, because I said so.
That chair, five minutes.
Right now.
- I am too old for time-outs.
- I don't care.
You know, Sarah, he really is right.
After about 5 or 6,
there needs to be some consequences.
Okay, everybody take time-out.
It's the drilling company.
Excuse me.
- Hello? Yes. Thanks...
- Grandma, when's lunch?
Cooper, time-out.
Okay. Yep, do it. Thank you.
What did they say?
What they always say, mom.
They need more money to dig deeper.
They'll call me
if they find anything.
Oja?'s gonna have to sell
some more land to pay for this.
- I'm hungry
- What do you want...
Peanut butter and jelly,
string cheese and grapes?
What happened to the time-out?
I thought nobody liked
time-out anymore.
Is there any mac and cheese?
He's hungry. That's probably
why he's going so crazy.
Honestly, what do you want me to do,
starve him?
But at least five minutes of time-out.
That's what it's all about.
I can take him upstairs.
He's been like that for a week now.
- A week?
- We had an incident, small thing
Jamie Barton, her ponytail
and a stapler.
Let me take him upstairs.
If he's hungry, honestly,
there's no point.
- Okay, let me take the bags upstairs.
- Thank you.
Does this mean my time-out's over?
Yes. Go.
Get out of here. Scram.
- Stay out of trouble.
- Okay.
Is everything okay
with the two of you?
He's an 8-year-old boy, mom.
You've been there.
No. Luc.
Between you and Luc.
We're fine.
I'm gonna make this work, mom.
I just wish people
could be more... Patient.
Transitions are hard.
We could maybe start with crepes.
Have you ever been
to one of those crepe places?
Never been,
but I have thought about it.
I want people to do more than just
consider eating at our restaurant.
- How serious are you guys about this?
- Ask him. He's the one with the money.
I've often thought about opening a
restaurant this would be a perfect time.
What about a wine bar?
You know, with the big taps.
We talked about that. It requires
a liquor license. It takes forever.
Fine. Don't sell booze.
Don't expect our family to show up.
The point of this is not to feed our
family. The point is to make some money.
When you need a lawyer to draw up
your contracts, give me a call.
Sure. Maybe.
Maybe? I was a corporate litigator
for ten years.
- I can draw up a property contract.
- Of course you can.
I meant that hopefully you'll be busy
doing something else by then.
I'm busy doing something else today.
Sarah, who actually wants my help,
has asked me to look over
the Oja? drilling contracts.
Good luck with your restaurant.
I have work to do.
- Don't be upset.
- I'm not upset. I'm just busy.
The contract to train
the Somali police...
Bill Stanton wants it
awarded to his company.
Of course he does. It's a massive,
open-ended commitment.
And obviously, he needs your committee
to appropriate the funds.
And I wanna catch him cheating.
National security
shouldn't make you rich.
I understand.
So I should wait for his call?
Actually, there's a benefit
at his club tomorrow...
A tennis tournament.
Excuse me. It's my wife.
All right, what'd you forget?
I'm meeting with Jim Hix.
You said something about education cuts.
Was that a "don't forget
to bring it up" or "steer clear"?
That depends on whether
he's with Carolyn or not.
Right, his wife!
Superintendent of
Humboldt county schools Carolyn.
Right. Thank you. I'm so glad
I called you. Was Evan awake?
No, he's still asleep.
All right, make sure you send me
a lot of pictures, okay?
Listen, you concentrate
on getting those endorsements
cause they could really turn
this campaign around, right?
From your lips...
I love you.
Love you. Sorry.
She after an endorsement from Hix?
She's gunning for McCarty, too.
She's on her way to Sacramento now.
She's worked really hard
for this, and...
That's the issue for me, is if I get
on the wrong side of Stanton,
her campaign will be
the first casualty.
They will come after her hard.
My hat is off to Kitty.
It's a damn fine virgin run. But...
she's not getting
those endorsements.
The far right is going to
determine the primary,
and they don't like her.
All due respect,
don't worry about harming
your wife's campaign.
It'll be over this time next month.
Joe, I've known you a long time,
but let me tell you something.
Never bet against my wife.
Why do you look like Kitty
at one of her fund-raisers?
- Is it that bad?
- Pearls?
The bungalow that I love
is having an open house.
Apparently, the selling agent
takes you more seriously
- if you look professional, so...
- I heard they also take you seriously
if you actually have the money
to pay for the house.
Very funny. I'm just going
to check it out. You want to come?
No, because I am actually
trying to make lasagna.
Wait. You're cooking?
Jake's wife Jessica is a vegetarian.
I figured I'd make something
bring it on over.
Is this them?
She asked me if I had
any pictures to bring over.
Maybe you could grab something
at that organic place on main street.
They have really good food.
Her husband
was just killed by an IED.
I think I should probably
cook something.
You're right. Maybe soup?
Soup's a lot easier,
and it's comforting.
Yeah, maybe soup.
- Justin, are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Cause ever since the funeral...
- No, I really am.
I just you know, want to do
something nice and help her out.
That's nice.
You want some company?
You go check out your house.
- It would be our house.
- Right. Our house.
Bye.
Season 04 Episode 22
Love All
- What are you doing here?
- This is what unemployed losers do.
They hang out in their mother's
kitchens making sandwiches.
You want a turkey and swiss?
There's, like, 4 pounds of meat in here.
I know, don't ask.
Make two or three.
Okay.
So how's the big move in going?
You know...
It's going.
Did you get a chance to
look over those contracts?
It's all standard. The longer they keep
drilling, the more you have to pay.
According to the local well records
for the surrounding area,
- there's gotta be at lea water there.
- So all you can do now is wait.
- Which I'm really bad at.
- Where is Luc?
- He usually manages to distract me.
- Actually, we're fighting.
Stop.
He's too beautiful for that.
Nobody's too beautiful for that.
You really do need help.
You know what goes well with waiting?
- Turkey?
- Wine!
- Are you guys always here?
- I know. It's sad.
Hey, Evan.
Come give me a kiss, buddy.
Careful. He might eat you. He's got
the appetite of a football player.
Do you want a glass?
No. I'm gonna wait
till the sun goes down.
And besides, I gotta play tennis.
Tennis?
I got roped into playing
this doubles tournament.
So I figured I'd go
hit with the pro.
Why don't you ask this pro
standing right here?
You mean drinking right there.
- I was awesome back in the day.
- We were awesome.
Kevrah. Kevrah.
Got him.
Then what happened?
There was so much smoke and sand,
I couldn't see,
but I felt this guy grab my leg,
so I reached down and picked him up
- guess what. It was my buddy brian.
- That's unbelievable.
- It was pretty cool. Look out!
- Go left, go left, go left!
- Get him right there.
- What are you doing?!
- We're just playing.
- You have been playing for hours.
It's a beautiful day outside.
- Why don't you go outside and play?
- Let me kill a couple more invaders.
Get him. He's right there.
Darling, I love you.
But why are you here?
I need to make soup for a friend,
I was wondering if you could help me.
Chicken soup? You know doctors from med
school. Have 'em write a prescription.
- I've my hands full today.
- She's not sick.
It's Jake's widow...
The guy who died in Afghanistan.
- Got him. Got him.
- You got him. Head shot.
Time's up. Here.
You can take this.
Go outside. Shoot some hoops.
Look at all the stuff
I drug out of the garage.
And stay in the yard
and don't go near the pool.
Miss you, buddy.
Come on. Let's go make some soup.
Let me kill this one more bad guy.
I'll be there in two minutes. Love you.
I can't bring stragglers.
It's a private club.
- What club?
- Altadena tennis club.
Card-carrying members.
Since 1982.
What, are you two drinking?
It's not even noon.
- We're being European.
- You're being something.
Don't worry, we're leaving.
We've to practice for tennis tournament
- Wait a minute. Hold on.
- Tell him how great we were as doubles.
They're good, very good. Of course,
they almost got thrown out of the club.
- She only slapped him.
- It was a bad call, you know it.
- I can't.
- Why not?
I've got Cooper for the weekend.
When is the tournament?
- It's tomorrow. Today's practice.
- That's perfect.
I can take care of Cooper today,
tomorrow, he's got a play date.
No, but, I was gonna take him
to the play date and stay with him.
He's 8 years old.
I think one mom is enough.
- I don't know about that.
- Think about this it'd be fabulous.
It would be Robert and Kevin
against you and Luc.
The whole point is that Kevrah
was great together.
We don't even know if Luc can play.
- Probably not.
- Now's your chance to find out.
It would be wonderful for the two of you
to have some adult time, honey.
- So it's done. Take them away.
- Can I make a deal with you?
- You watch him till the nanny arrives?
- Absolutely.
Good! And then I get
to play with Kevrah.
And Luc.
And Luc.
- It's perfect, isn't it?
- It looks amazing.
- I think you should do it.
- What?
You mean, like, put an offer in?
You have the money.
Pull it from Oja? and transfer it
into your personal account
and make an offer.
The agent already got two offers.
They always say that.
That's a sales technique.
I saw a couple
take out their checkbook.
Then transfer the money
and take out yours.
It's just an offer. You're not
obligated to spend a dime.
So what, pick up the phone
and make a couple of calls?
That's all you have to do.
If you really love this house...
Then make it happen.
She's looking at a house?
That's very exciting.
She's just looking,
so it's not really a big deal.
It's a really big deal.
It would be your first house.
We're not buying anything, so
maybe we should just make the soup.
You've chopped that enough.
Put a big handful
in the cheesecloth,
and then tie it up with this string.
Put it in the soup.
It's an herb bouquet.
And we can take it out before
we give it to her.
Right.
Why do you have your dog tags on?
Because I found 'em by my uniform when
I was getting dressed for the funeral.
Jake.
Why did he go back, Justin?
It breaks my heart
that he was there.
Somebody has to be.
Are you all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
I know this hit you hard. Have you been
going to your meetings?
I've been going to my NA meetings.
I'm fine, really.
Then maybe you could take
your dog tags off.
Okay. This is all done.
So I'll just drop it in the soup?
Cooper, you know the rules.
No swimming without a grown-up.
I know how to swim.
I just wanted to do a cannonball.
If you had hit your head and no one
was there, you would've drowned.
And don't even get me started
about the whole clothes thing.
- Were you with him?
- I went to get him a towel.
You said that you would keep an eye
on him while I got changed.
I was, but he wanted to go swimming,
so I went to pick up his bathing suit
- and told him to wait by the pool.
- You took too long.
What? Cooper, seriously?
You told me you would wait.
How am I supposed to trust you
if you do things like that?
What were you doing outside anyway?
You said that you would stay here,
play video games
and stay out of trouble.
Cooper, my goodness. You're soaking wet.
What, did you fall in the pool?
He decided to go for a swim,
alone, with his clothes on.
You're the one who told me
to go outside.
I told you to go out
and shoot some baskets
rather than sitting here
and shooting monsters all day.
- They're aliens.
- That is enough from you.
Go get changed.
I will deal with you later.
Off you go.
- Look, mom, I told you...
- I know, Sarah. I know.
You told me you like to use these games
as some kind of babysitter,
but, honey, the one he's playing is
the most violent game I have ever seen.
That is ridiculous.
He's shooting blue blobs.
You never minded when Tommy
was playing with "duck hunt."
"Duck hunt"?
Besides it's a lot safer than
swimming in that pool alone.
I didn't expect him to jump
in the pool fully clothed.
Yeah, no one did.
I have to tell you,
I think this game is a problem.
All of these games are a problem.
You told me yourself,
he stapled some girl's ponytail?
He's a boy, a little aggressive.
He needs an outlet.
Boys will be boys, is that it?
- Could you back me up here?
- I'm sorry. I think your mom is right.
Stop making excuses.
Video games or not,
Cooper has been acting out.
Cooper is going through a bit
of a rough patch right now.
I am doing the very best I can, and
I think the last thing that Cooper needs
- is more cooks in the kitchen.
- You asked for my opinion. I told you.
Yeah, you did.
If you two are finished ganging up
on me, I'm gonna go talk to my boy.
Look at us...
A couple of men of leisure
hitting some tennis balls
on a Saturday afternoon.
- That's us.
- Feels weird to me...
Scheduling my day around
court times and martini lunches,
nowhere to report?
Does it feel weird to you?
No, but that's probably
cause I still have my job
as a united states senator.
Go on. Get up there. I'm serving.
All right, these go.
- That was on my side.
- I didn't think you had it.
I know how to play tennis.
It's gonna be a long day.
Let's go. Buck up. Here we go.
I know technically,
you're still working. But what's next?
- You don't have anything lined up?
- Don't worry. I'll think of something.
You're the most ambitious
person I'll ever know.
That's why I can't figure out
why you're so cool playing tennis
- on a Saturday afternoon.
- We all have to enjoy our lives.
- Love-15.
- Bring it on.
- Nice try, babe.
- Don't patronize me.
You know what? Maybe you're right.
Why am I so high strung?
If you can handle the easy life,
I'm sure I could.
- I need to learn how to chill. Right?
- You need to learn how to play it net.
15 all.
- That's my partner!
- Nice shot.
- Thanks.
- That's what I'm talking about.
You know what? That did feel good.
I should play more tennis.
Here we go. All right, kev.
Let's do it.
All right.
- I had it.
- It was my ball.
Why don't you play singles?
- A point.
- Don't get cocky.
Nice shot.
- Just out.
- What?
- There is no way that was out.
- It was too close for me to call.
- I think it was out.
- Of course you do.
What's that supposed to mean?
You question my tennis game
my parenting.
You and my mother should play together
cause it feels
like you're in agreement
about a lot of things lately.
- I think it was out. That's all.
- Let me play forehand.
I have an idea.
You guys have such a great history on
the court. Why don't you play together?
- Luc, you come over here.
- Fine by me.
- Works for me.
- A thousand thank yous.
You kidding me? Been there.
And there's my move,
so it's your turn.
Which move will it be?
There. You see? You really
have to think about this game.
You have to strategize.
You have to suss out your opponent.
- There! I took you.
- I like "galactic showdown" better.
You fly space ships
and shoot bad guys,
just like uncle Justin did
in the war.
It was so cool.
He saved his friend
by dragging him through the desert.
And then there were
real-life helicopters.
He got to jump out of one once.
It was so cool.
Yes, I know.
He was very brave.
Okay. There, it's your move.
King me, grammy!
I'm not going to king you.
You have to earn that.
Don't you think?
These biscotti are amazing. I feel like
I'm sitting on a piazza in Florence.
God, I'm good.
Hello, boys. Working on our menu?
You have to taste these biscotti.
- They're fantastic.
- I can't. I'm in training.
I thought you're working on contracts.
Where have you been, Wimbledon?
Maybe next year.
I whizzed through my contracts,
and then I tripped the light fantastic
at the Altadena country club.
You're kidding. They let you back in
after the incident?
That was one stupid harassment suit
from a disgruntled tennis pro.
- And guess what.
- What?
Kevrah lives.
- Kevrah?
- Don't ask.
You should've seen us
on the court today
Like riding a bicycle.
I was Venus and Sarah's Serena.
Were Venus and Serena drinking? Cause
you seem very relaxed all of a sudden.
Actually, I did have
a glass of wine with lunch.
You know what I've realized?
I've worked since I was 15.
That's 23 years without a break.
And for what?
- Money.
- And I'll work again,
but right now, no one's exactly
beating down the door to hire me.
So this might be
a blessing in disguise.
No one actually needs my help,
not even you guys.
Stop it. If you want to get involved
in the restaurant, you can.
- I just assumed that you...
- No. That's your passion.
- Now I have my own passion.
- Really? And what might that be?
Tennis. So if you'd excuse me,
I'm gonna go and soak
cause I need to be nice and loose
and limber for my big game tomorrow.
Kevrah for match point.
Walker serves. Aces.
Crowd goes wild.
Who knew unemployment
could be so much fun?
- How did it go?
- Okay.
Okay. Good call on the soup.
- She really liked it.
- Good. I'm glad.
So...
The house was amazing.
Absolutely amazing. A huge backyard,
a swing on the front porch,
built-ins in every room...
It was perfect.
Cool.
I'd really like for you
to come see it with me tonight.
I was kinda hoping we could just chill
and watch a movie.
The thing is...
I know I was supposed to be
window-shopping,
My mom says that the money
should be back in my account by Monday,
and there were other buyers
that were interested, so...
- I put an offer in.
- Wait. You made an offer?
- We don't have to pay them anything.
- Time-out. Time...
You made an offer on a house
that I haven't even set foot in yet?
I know. Obviously, if you don't like it,
we're not gonna buy it.
I want you to come
and see it with me.
- It's perfect.
- This is crazy to me.
What is so crazy about us
wanting to buy a house together?
- I don't know where it's coming from.
- Fine. You don't get it.
Then explain it to me, cause,
this morning you said that you're fine
you seemed to be dealing with this.
This is hitting you a lot harder
- than you're willing to admit.
- What do you want from me?
My friends are dying. I'm having trouble
thinking about houses and blenders.
And the degree
I'm gonna get in seven years.
- Calm down.
- I'm sorry.
I know that Jake was your friend,
but think about it.
The last thing he would want you to do
is stop living your life,
if you're trying to shame me into not
wanting a comfortable future with you,
Then you're right,
I don't understand.
Fine. I have nothing else
to tell you.
All right, let's stretch it out.
I got you. Really feel it.
There you go.
When I say "we are",
you say "champions".
- We are...
- Champions.
- You in this, sis?
- Yep.
- You have to say it.
- Yeah, sorry. To win it, bro.
All right. What's up?
Cooper's play date canceled.
Mom's bringing him to watch the game.
There's no way
he's gonna sit still that long.
Sarah, she raised five of us.
We didn't have to deal with a
strange Frenchman moving into our house.
There was that one exchange student.
She's, like, the child whisperer?
Let her focus on Cooper.
You focus on the match.
We'll be fine.
Go, team Kevrah.
Where're those guys?
I don't know.
We scared them off yesterday?
Robert? Doubtful.
Senator.
- Bill Stanton.
- Good to meet you.
It's a beautiful day for a good
cause, wouldn't you say?
I'm, just happy
to be here to help out.
I was sorry to hear
you're not running for reelection.
You got a line on what's next?
- That's sort of the $1-million question
- Don't tell me it's golf.
That'd be a prime waste
of national resources.
Now. You'd wait until you see
my game before you say that.
Maybe we should play sometime.
Maybe we should.
It's a nice club you have here.
- You're not a member, are you?
- I'm surprised they let me in at all.
I think I've passed bills
with less paperwork.
Sorry about that.
- Bureaucracy, right?
- Indeed.
Next time, call me up.
I'll walk you straight in.
Or I could join.
I'd be glad to sponsor you.
Here.
- Try my cell if you're interested.
- Thank you.
Pleasure, senator.
I don't want to watch tennis.
Why couldn't I have stayed home
with Evan and his nanny?
It's gonna be fun. Hold on.
I want to put more block
on your nose. Here.
- You lathered him up in the car.
- It's hot out.
I missed his nose.
All right, never mind.
Just wear this.
How's that?
I wore a hat every day in Iraq.
You did?
- Everybody did.
- That's awesome.
Did you also tell him you ended up
in a hospital in Germany?
- All right. Call it.
- No need. You can serve.
So they have a great bar here.
What do you want me to do?
I ran into him.
When it comes to Bill Stanton?
Be rude and ignore him.
- He's the host. It's his charity event.
- Right. So write a check.
Don't schmooze with the prince
of darkness. What did he want?
- Help on votes for a contract?
- We were talking about golf.
I hope no one got a picture,
bad publicity.
You didn't work for me.
For Kitty, I mean.
But you're right.
I don't work at all.
So let's play tennis.
McCallister and Laurent
to serve, first set.
- 15-love.
- Nice serve.
- Where the hell did that come from?
- Lucky shot.
That wasn't a lucky shot.
That was an ace.
Sorry Rebecca couldn't come today.
- Is she busy?
- Yeah, she was.
While you're in there, you want
to grab me a granola bar?
Out. 15 all.
Why do you have an umbrella?
It's not for the rain.
It's for the sun.
It's like your hat,
only bigger, way bigger.
- Cooper, stop it.
- I'm just shooting Luc.
15-30.
Would you grab that from him?
- You're the one who started it.
- What did I do?
You think he got the idea to turn that
into a gun all by himself?
Yes, mom. He's a boy.
You take away the umbrella,
he'll use a stick.
You take away stick, he'll use
his hand. I had nothing to do with it.
- I get a soda. Would you like anything?
- No, thank you.
You should really knock that off.
Stop it.
- 30 all.
- Hi, honey.
- How did you miss that?
- Sorry, I got distracted.
Kevrah was undefeated in 17 years.
I'd like to keep it that way.
- Nice shot.
- 40-30.
Cooper, stop it.
What are you doing?
- I'll handle this.
- He's throwing balls. This isn't cool.
You talking to him now
is only make things worse.
- They not get better if you butting in.
- He's my son.
Yes, he is. And where do I fit in?
I don't know, but he has a father,
who, by the way,
is not thrilled about you,
and obviously, neither is Cooper.
I'm stuck.
I'm trying to figure it out.
You let me know when you do. Till then,
we're not be able to play as a team.
Sorry. It was an accident.
Listen to me, that was no accident.
The corkscrew,
the swimming pool, this...
None of it was an accident,
was it, Cooper?
Okay, you're coming home with me.
Mom, this is my job, not yours.
- Sorry, Kevin. We gotta forfeit.
- What?
Get outta here.
- Come on. We're leaving.
- What, already? Who won the match?
No one. It was a forfeit. Come on.
- Where is Cooper?
- He's with Sarah, so let's go.
You know what? Time-out.
What's the deal?
- Are you mad at me or something?
- No, I'm not mad at you.
I'm onto you, Justin.
- You're on...
- The funeral, the dog tags,
all these war stories to Cooper...
I know where this is headed.
- Don't put words in my mouth.
- You want to go back to this war.
- I don't want to go back. I want to...
- Don't lie to me.
I've been through this before.
You went there twice.
The last time almost killed you.
Why would you go back?
Your life is great.
You're in med school.
- You have a wife who loves you.
- And I love her, too, and there's...
You made a commitment
to stay with her.
You can't walk away from your life.
You can't.
That feels good.
Andy Roddick passed out on my couch.
Roger Federer's a better player.
Yeah, but Roddick is cuter.
I'm flattered.
But we both lost the big game.
I bet you played hard
and gave it your all.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Maybe I feel guilty.
I haven't exactly
been paying attention to you lately.
That's all right. I'm not a child.
Although I have been
behaving like one recently.
We're having a baby in seven months.
I need to get a job, any job.
It's not about the job.
Okay, I need to make money.
It's not really about the money either.
You need a purpose.
And it's not tennis.
Can we just leave
all the purpose to you,
just for a moment?
I really want you
to open this restaurant.
Maybe that's my purpose,
encouraging you.
Do you know what I miss?
What?
The old Kevin Walker...
who ran towards his purpose.
- So why am I running away from it now?
- Because you don't know what it is
and you hate uncertainty.
At least I'm certain of you.
Now I know we talked about
Luc moving in,
and you were excited
about the idea of it. But now,
there's a whole new
member of the family, and
we think you might be
finding it a bit challenging.
It's different than what I expected.
I get that.
You know, for me, too.
But he's here now, so
it's time that we all learn...
How we're gonna get along.
Now I love Luc.
So when you hurt his feelings, you hurt
my feelings, the same way
that I'd be hurt if somebody hurt you.
You know what I'm talking about?
Good.
So do you have something
you might want to say to Luc?
I'm sorry, Luc.
Thank you, Cooper.
Okay, now you go brush your teeth,
start a chapter,
and I'll be in to tuck you in, okay?
I love you.
Nicely done.
Thank you.
I wonder if he's upset that he's not
the man of the house anymore.
You know, he used to...
come and cuddle
and fall asleep and...
he always had me all to himself.
Speaking of cuddling...
You know, I don't think Cooper
is the only problem here.
I think you need to deal
with your own issues.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
Okay, here's the deal...
What if the only reason
we've been deliriously happy
is because we've been living
in a fantasy?
- And now it's...
- Real.
Real is good, right?
Real is real. It's paint colors
and temper tantrums and...
And the emotional lives
of 8 year olds.
I don't want to mess this up, Luc.
For me, this is...
- This is a huge deal.
- And it's a huge deal for me, too.
I want to be a family with you.
But you think Cooper's tough?
Try living with a 13-year-old girl
who hates you.
You're so relaxed about it.
I don't think you
really have thought
through the stress
that children put on a relationship.
What if it's just too hard?
Now I can deal with you
breaking my heart.
But I can't deal
with you breaking theirs.
I'm not gonna break anyone's heart.
But we don't know that, do we?
I love you, Sarah. And I'm not trying
to be their father or anything.
No, I know. But do you know
who you do want to be?
Your partner,
a very positive role model
for the kids. And for that,
I'm gonna need to have
my own relationship with them.
Then we are very, very, very lucky.
- What have you got there?
- I wanted to thank you
- for taking care of Evan for so long.
- Don't be silly.
- I'm his grandmother. I love it.
- I know. That's why it's not cash.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
So... he's asleep
in the living room right now
in his playpen thingy.
The nanny left right
after we got back from the game.
I'm just packing up
all of his stuff right now.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
Did Justin talk to you about
wanting to go back to Afghanistan?
God. He did.
Please tell me you didn't
say anything to encourage him.
No, I just listened.
To what?
Nora, the first time you enlist,
it can be about a bunch of things.
But if you reenlist, it's personal.
It's about wanting to get back
to people who you love
and who understand you in a way
that nobody else possibly can.
That's easy for you to say.
You're not going back to war.
We all go to war in different ways.
But I don't want my son to go back
to this war ever again.
I understand.
But that pull is awfully strong.
And that's your son.
Maybe you want to go
take care of him.
My gosh.
You would not believe
the traffic out there. The 101 is
bumper-to-bumper ridiculous.
- Where's the little guy?
- He's...
- just got him down.
- Shoot.
- So...
- No, no, no.
First of all, just tell me,
who won the match?
Luc and I won.
You're kidding me? You beat Kevrah?
- In a forfeit.
- Wait a minute...
Cooper had a meltdown,
so Sarah had to leave.
So?
So...
Here's to my endorsements.
I got 'em both.
That is fantastic.
It was a long shot,
but I worked my magic,
and as soon as Hix caved,
I called McCarty and...
- It's like I always say.
- What? What do you always say?
Never bet against my wife.
So how was the rest of your weekend?
- Anything important?
- Nothing to tell.
Hello?
I've been calling you.
Yeah, I just needed to get out
of the house so I took a run.
At night? That's a little unsafe.
Good thing I have
reflectors on my shoes.
You want to talk?
You know what?
I think you should do the talking.
I don't know how to help you.
Okay.
Rebecca, ever since the funeral,
I've been thinking about
how much Jake
and the other guys mean to me.
And it's so much more
than anything that's going on
in my life right now.
See, I...
I don't think I want to be
a doctor anymore.
It doesn't feel right.
It's all about being the best
not a team.
There's one place where I felt like
I belonged to a team...
Where guys had my back.
- Don't. Don't you dare.
- No, let me talk, all right?
Just because I'm feeling it doesn't mean
I'm gonna act upon it, okay?
So talk.
I'm not happy.
What? Is it me or...
Is it the house?
I'm sorry I got so excited.
That house would mean nothing to me
without you in it.
You don't have to explain all that.
Cause you
are the only thing
that works in my life.
You are the one true thing.
I just want to feel...
like I belong somewhere else, too.
And you will.
I'm leaving.
Are you trapped
under something heavy?
What are you doing in here?
Nothing.
You're alone in the pantry.
What is it?
If you're upset about me and Luc,
don't be.
We had a really good chat last night.
We're gonna be fine.
It's not that, is it?
I was just thinking.
I want to tell you something.
Motherhood never gets easier,
even when they're grown.
No one ever told me that, and I...
I just wanted to make sure
I told you.
Thanks, mom.
- What the hell is that?
- You gotta see this.
It might even cheer you up. Come.
So you must visualize the attack
and use the move to defend yourself.
- Good job.
- What are they doing?
- Keep practicing.
- Having their own relationship.
Again.
