Brothers & Sisters (2006–2011): Season 4, Episode 23 - Lights Out - full transcript

Mwah. Okay, baby.

Oh, please, please, Evan. Don't...

It's your mom.

You've got to be kidding me.

Okay. No, no, no, no. No, no, no.

This is mommy's phone.
Hi, mom. What's wrong?

Why are you calling me
so early in the morning?

Look, when you're in
your 60s, you don't sleep,

ever. Remember that.

No, it's your sister. I'm worried...

do you think there's
any chance that you could



stop by over there and check on her today?

I'm so sorry, mom,

but I can't. I'm campaigning all weekend.

I'm not gonna have any time.
And... and, Robert, are you not...

are you not packed? We
have to catch the bus in,

- like, an hour.
- I have to take a rain check.

Something came up with
the appropriations bill.

And you're just telling me about this now?

I woke up to a stream
of panicked e-mails.

I was really looking forward
to spending some time with you.

- Oh, maybe I should go with you.
- Where?

Campaigning. I've never been.

Mom, do you think I really need to bring

my rabidly Democratic mother
on the campaign trail with me?



I'm ahead in the polls right now, okay?

I would like to keep it that way.

You should take her. You have 16 stops.

- You need somebody to play cards with.
- I play cards.

- Where are we going?
- No, I'm.

I'm going to a fund-raiser in Sacramento,

and then I'm going to an
elementary school in Oxnard,

and then I'm going to a firehouse in...

- I have no idea where it is.
- I love you.

Firemen? Kitty, I love firemen.

Ah! I love you. Here.

- How's this tie, good?
- It's... it's great.

Um, honey, don't forget
about tomorrow night.

Saul and Scotty are doing their

- restaurant menu up in Ojai.
- Yeah, I'll be there.

- Knock 'em dead.
- All right.

- So... are we on?
- On? On what?

- Why are you so nervous?
- I just... I just...

Wow.

I mean, mom said you were depressed,

but eating pizza in the morning?

- What, are you in college?
- Tastes good cold.

- Tastes good cold!
- Oh! Get off me.

Hey, Justin. What are you doing here?

Uh, well, I heard dorm
girl was down in the dumps,

so I came by to cheer her up.

Well, I'm sorry I'm not more upbeat.

Unemployment doesn't really suit me.

Uh, well, you're talking to the king
of unemployment, and don't wallow.

So clean the closet, write a have you
even started looking for a job yet?

No one's hiring, and
even if they were hiring,

they're certainly not
hiring anybody that drove

their family business into the ground.

Justin, she's been on the
couch for three days now.

She wants to be alone.

But I'm sorry. I'm not
gonna leave you alone.

I will never leave you alone.

All right? So please stop
eating this leftover pizza.

It's making me crazy.

You want to eat something?
I'll make you an omelet.

- Just one more piece.
- Sarah.

I lost everything, Justin.

Not everything.

I mean, you still have Narrow Lake.

That worthless piece of property?

How tragic is it that mom, Holly and I

end up joint owners of that damn place?

Yeah, that's pretty tragic.
It's like the booby prize.

All right. No more pizza.

- You're done.
- Oh, God.

- It's grossing me out.
- At least Rebecca got a job offer.

Yeah, she did. So, so
much for going to Haiti.

- Haiti?
- Uh, well, my college is offering a program...

Where we go down to Haiti
and help out for a year.

- And I'd actually get full credit.
- Wow. A year?

Hello. That's kind of a long
time to be apart, don't you think?

Yeah. But she didn't take the job yet,

so I was actually trying to
convince her to come with me.

It's not like I'm gonna be
in a library the whole time.

I mean, I'm down there
helping out people, you know?

Hey, more good news. Ahem.
Your mom is coming over.

Oh, Saul... Saul, these peaches...

you can't get anything like that in L.A.

Wow. Are you sure we're
gonna be ready in a month?

Well, we may not be
firing on all four burners,

- but we'll be serving food.
- Oh! I found

a really great day care
center in the neighborhood.

Why can't we have the baby
with us in the restaurant?

Well, sometimes, but not always.

- A baby!
- A baby!

Oh, did we wake you?

What, with all the banging, the clanging,

the Olivia Newton-John
playing? No, absolutely not.

I'm so glad we rented the old Ojai house

for some peace and quiet this weekend.

Well, we're not here for peace and quiet.

Your whole family's coming tomorrow.

- You made a menu.
- Yep, it's a test menu.

We want everyone's opinion
on how everything tastes.

- Oh, so it's an oral exam?
- Wait till you see the amazing recipes

- we're gonna make.
- I feel bloated already.

Okay, Kevin, if you're not
gonna help, out of the kitchen.

- Inside voice, please.
- I never

knew that my nephew was
such a grump in the morning.

I never knew my uncle wore
a muumuu, so we're even.

It's not a muumuu. It's a nightshirt.

- Where... do you know where my...
- Yeah.

Hey, Kit. Saul's wearing a muumuu.

- Says the man in the sleeping mask.
- How's my senator-to-be?

Oh, cautiously optimistic.

- What, about the primary?
- No, about me and mom on a bus.

I... I somehow got suckered into letting her

campaign with me all weekend.
I mean, i... it could be fun,

- right?
- I'm sor... mom,

the most vocal bleeding-heart
liberal in southern California?

No. That's not fun.
That's campaign suicide.

Oh, I was so hoping you
weren't gonna say that.

Whoo-hoo! Kitty!

- She brought Sarah.
- Sarah's not exactly the person

I'd want cheering for me right now.

No, she looks like
somebody killed her cat.

Oh, I... I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

- Surprise. You've got the both of us.
- Yeah. Hey. Hi, Sarah.

- Hi. Does this thing have a TV?
- Uh... yeah.

What the hell are you thinking?

She was doing nothing but eating pizza

and watching soap operas.

Mom, this is not a bus to Vegas, okay?

Well, I... I have some
serious campaigning to do.

- Where's the remote?
- Um, ch...

Oh, never mind. Got it.

You see? She's better
already. It's gonna be fine.

Come on, honey.

Look at this. I just got
another friend request.

Saul just discovered Facebook.

Ooh. Hot. Old flame?

Well, we had a little moment,
but that was years ago.

Oh, look. He's a big A.I.D.S. activist.

It says he's been living with
A.I.D.S. For the last 22 years.

Oh, he does those
bike-a-thons and everything.

- That's pretty remarkable.
- I did a bike-a-thon.

I raised 1,500 bucks, and
then I had to spend 1,500 bucks

- on my own chiropractor.
- Oh, that reminds me.

You have your physical next week.

- Oh, yeah.
- Do you two still get tested?

For h.I.V.? Yeah, of course.
It's sort of like habit now.

- You know, it's sex spring cleaning.
- Yeah,

and you never know where this
one's been tramping around.

- Exactly.
- What do you mean, "exactly"?

What about you, Saul?

What, me, tested?

Oh, what... what for? I'm 100 years old.

Anyway, I haven't had sex
since the "Hindenburg" exploded.

No, the only thing about me
that gets tested is my patience.

Now come on.

We have recipes to cook.
We have meals to make.

Listen, we have enough to hang this guy.

Stanton's been buying votes to win
highly inflated defense contracts.

He is getting rich on
the backs of our soldiers.

You think that I don't know that?

Then why hang on to the tapes?

- You have him offering you money, a job...
- He threatened Kitty.

The one thing I told you was,

I wouldn't let this
compromise her campaign.

He hasn't anything on Kitty.

Then he'll make something up.
I'm already hearing this crap

about Kitty using my plane
to campaign around the state.

I mean, who do you think
that is? It's Stanton.

Look, it is just noise.

It's the kind of noise that
drowns everything else out.

And it starts with the little lies and...

then it's the big lies,
and the next thing you know,

- she's destroyed.
- If you don't go public,

he's getting away with murder...

literally. He is out there on his own

operating without any accountability,

and American soldiers are dying

because all he cares
about is making money.

Okay, look, I told you
I'd go after this guy,

and I've done my part.

But I also told you, if it got
anywhere near her, I was out.

He knows that we're on to him now.

He's gonna be in church every
Sunday singing in the choir.

Those tapes are our only shot.

Now please... give them to me.

I can't.

I have to do this in a
way that protects my wife.

I hope you have a safe place to hide them.

Tapes will be safe.

Honey, you know, I think
you're doing a wonderful job.

- Thank you, thank you.
- But you know this stop,

maybe you should start
out with immigration reform

instead of tax cuts.

Last three stops, it's just been
tax cuts, ,tax cuts, tax cuts.

That's because tax cuts work.
They stimulate the economy...

Oh my God. They found another Farrel child in Wisconsin.

- Oh wait, never mind.
- This was a really bad idea.

She's gonna be fine, honestly. And
when you consider all of the options,

I think watching soap operas
and reading trashy magazines

is a pretty harmless
way of s self medicating.

I'm not self-medicating,
mom I am grieving.

There are stages.

Yes, I know, honey. There are five stages.

- Uh, excuse me. Can I have this for a minute?
- No!

My favorite show's about to come on.

Kitty, the governor's gonna be on.

This is all I'm living for..

- Don't let them take it away from me, Kitty.
- Sarah.

Rah.

Is she gonna be like this the whole time?

No, no, no you have to...
you have to fix this.

- Girls. Okay, girls. Stop. Just...
- Fine.

Sarah, Sarah, listen to me.

Honey, come on now. Come on now.

We're... we're just gonna have some fun.

Fun? I am stuck on a bus
in the middle of nowhere

listening to my sister's
cheering, adoring fans.

Not that I... I'm not happy for you.

I mean, I want her to win. Honestly, I do.

But I tanked my family's business.

I bet the house on Narrow
Lake. I came up dry.

Let's face it. My instincts suck.

Sweetheart, your instincts don't suck.

Well, they do, a little.

Sarah, honey, listen to me.

You cannot bear the weight of Ojai
going out of business all by yourself.

I'm just as responsible as you are.

Does anyone know if I get carsick?

Well, we're gonna find out I think.

Here. She can have this back.

Accounts for 12% of the entire U.S...

Um... what?

- It's Saul.
- Oh, he can't hear us.

The walls are, like, oak.
No, it's not... it's not that.

- He should get tested, Kevin.
- Oh, that.

Look, he hasn't had sex since
the stone age, that poor man.

He said so himself.

- I heard that!
- Saul?

Yes. Are you holding a glass to the wall?

No, but I have my new hearing aids in.

Okay, it is very sweet
for you both to care,

and I really appreciate it,
but this is not a possibility.

When was the last time you were tested?

Would you please stop worrying about me?

Let's worry about the
restaurant this weekend,

- okay?
- You know, what if we all went together?

- I'm sure there's a place in town we could go.
- Come on.

Yeah, we could go tomorrow
out of Saul-idarity.

Okay, how about this?

I'll go next month when I
have my cholesterol checked.

Great. Great. I'll go
with you if you want.

It's okay. I'll be fine. Thank you.

Oh... don't start fooling around.

The walls are paper thin.

Hey, thanks for coming.

Uh, sure. Sure.

I guess the, uh, obvious question is,

what am I doing here at 11:30 at night?

Hey, you didn't finish
at the hospital till now.

Okay, let me rephrase.

What are we doing here at 11:30 at night?

I just wanted to talk to you.

Um, well, I... I didn't do
anything wrong, did I?

No, no, to the contrary.

You're the only person
that I can trust right now.

Look, we've been through
a lot. You're a soldier.

That's what I need right now.

- I want you to hold on to that.
- What is this?

It's a key to a safe deposit box.

This is the address to the bank.

Now this is in both of our names,

and you and I are the only
ones who know about it.

- Y... you're kidding me, right?
- There's an envelope inside.

And when I figure out
what I want to do with it,

I'll let you know,

but if something happens to me,
I want you to give it to Kitty,

and she'll make the
decision on what to do.

What do you mean, if
something happens to you?

- Is this about your health or...
- Justin, do this for me, please.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

There. That's a little more festive.

Now I'm gonna turn
this light right here...

Mom, mom, what... what are you doing?

- I can't see anything now.
- Well, that's the point.

It ain't exactly the Ritz around here.

They better have cable.

No, no, no. No more TV for you, Missy.

You're cut off. We're doing facials.

Oh, my God. We're out of wine.

- Where's the mini bar?
- At the Four Seasons. Th...

- Just get up. Get up.
- What? What?

They never wash those
bedspreads. Get up off of there.

You're liable to get some
horrible skin disease.

I'd like a skin disease.
Anything just to feel again.

All right, everybody, listen up.

- We're gonna do facials.
- Got it.

Wait a minute. Have you guys ever heard of

"Citizens for a Corrupt-Free America"?

No, it sounds like some horrible,

right-wing, militant, gun-tot...

Yeah, well, they're saying

that I'm flying around
California in a private jet.

Well, you... you do fly around
California in a private jet.

I don't campaign in it, mother.

That's what they're saying.

They're saying that I campaign in it.

- And I certainly don't use taxpayers' dollars to gas it up.
- Oh, no, no, no.

I mean, this is outrageous.

Well, Kitty, what are
you gonna do about it?

Well, I'm not gonna do
anything about it, mom.

- You can't fight these wackos.
- Kitty, they're lying about you.

No, mom, let it go. I mean it. Please.

- It's no big deal. I'm sorry I brought it up.
- Well, I... I, you know...

- Mom.
- What?

She said let it go. I am letting it go.

All right, guys, guys,
guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

I need you to be quiet. I'm sorry.

But I really have to
start working on my speech.

Okay, give me the keys to the bus.

I'm gonna get more liquor.

No. No, you're not driving the bus.

Okay, I will get a cab.

You're not gonna drive anything.

For goodness sakes. You know what?

I'm gonna go get one of those
nice, little intern people

- and have them go to the store.
- Oh, good idea.

- Make sure he gets a screw top
because we don't have an opener.
- For God sakes.

Don't you dare.

Wait.

My face feels funny.

It looks funny.

Oh. Did I forget to wash my mask off?

Oh, my God, Sarah.

You're gonna have such
tiny little pores on...

on that side anyway.

Oh, good.

Where's mom?

Don't know.

Uh, my sciatica's kicking in.

I don't feel good.

Mom, why did you sleep on the floor?

I have no idea.

Oh, oh, my...

right side of my body is numb.

- Hey, what's up?
- Oh, God.

- This place looks like a frat room.
- Mom...

- What, you're kidding?
- You've got potato chips in your hair.

- I'll call you back.
- Ew! Get it out! Ew.

Oh, I didn't sleep one wink last night.

Which one of you two girls
has a tiny little bladder?

That would be the mother of two.

Excuse me.

Hey, mom, did you happen
to sign on the web site

that was trashing me last night?

Maybe just for one little minute.

Oh, my God, mom.

Kitty, I couldn't let
them get away with it.

They... they were lying about you.

- You had too much wine.
- Kitty, listen...

It wasn't just the jet plane.

The... they... they
started in about your wig.

They said you spent thousands
and thousands of dollars

and single-handedly
plucked strands of hair

out of poor little orphan
girls' heads to make the wig.

I had to respond.

Oh, my God. You told
them how much my wig cost.

I don't know how much your wig cost.

Really? Because it
says right here. $4,300.

- Oh, that is absurd.
- No, Sarah, it's not absurd.

That's what it cost... exactly what it cost.

I mean, I know it's hard to believe,

but they're incredibly expensive.

Well, sweetheart, you had cancer.

They can't begrudge you one little wig.

No, mom, you're wrong.

It's either rich Kitty McCallister...

out of touch, spending all this money,

or it's poor Kitty McCallister...
cancer survivor, fragile.

How will she ever withstand a primary
let alone a term in the Senate?

No, this is coming from someone who
knows exactly what they're doing,

someone who found out
precisely how much my wig cost.

Well, who?

That's a very good question.

Okay, so you're saying if
someone is taking amiodarone,

they could be suffering
from ventricular tachycardia?

Wow, that's pretty serious.

Um, no, no. I don't know
how long he's been taking it.

Okay. Uh, well, thanks a lot, professor.

And, uh, I will, uh, get back to you.

All right. Thank you.

What was that about?

Uh, nothing. Just a... a school question.

So, Justin, I've been thinking a
lot about the whole Haiti thing.

And... wh... what if we
both do what we want to do?

What do you mean?

You go to Haiti, and... I take this job.

- How would that work?
- I mean, I... I know it would be...

- it would be difficult, but...
- I mean... time-out.

Rebecca, like, w... we just got married.

The whole point is to stay together.

I took the job, Justin.

- You what?
- You knew the deadline was today.

Yeah, Rebecca, I didn't
think you were just gonna

- take the job...
- Justin, I want this opportunity.

- This is a huge step forward for me.
- So what,

I'm supposed to just
go to Haiti without you?

I'm trying to compromise.

No, no, you're not trying to compromise.

- You just made the decision for us.
- No, I did not...

You know what? Fine. I'm not going.

Rebecca, you know what?
You got what you wanted.

At least be honest about it.

So you're here for an H.I.V. test?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, why? Are you surprised?

- You probably don't get many
people my age coming in here to...
- I wish we did.

The over-50 set is our
fastest growing risk group.

It's those performance-enhancing pills.

Ah. Ah, yes.

Well, the truth is, I really haven't done
anything to put myself at risk for years.

So, uh...

I see.

I'm probably wasting
your time as well as mine.

I mean, I'm in perfect health.

My hearing isn't as good as it used to be,

but I have these amazing
hearing aids now, and I...

Let me ask you something.

Is it possible for someone
to be H.I.V.-Positive

for I... I don't know, let's say decades,

and not know?

If you're asking if you could be positive

and completely asymptomatic... right.

- The answer is yes.
- I see.

You know, it's not
typical, but it can happen.

Wow.

I take it you've never been tested before.

No. No, no. I... I just
never thought that I...

Is there a reason for concern now?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, this friend of mine...

we were together years ago...

I just found out that he...
he's, uh, living with A.I.D.S.

and, uh...

Listen, if someone tests positive,

there are all sorts of
drugs they can take now.

- A person can live a long, healthy life these days.
- Good.

- We could get you tested right now.
- Now?

You'd know tomorrow
morning, anytime after 8:00.

Good. Okay. Let's go for it.

- Okay, so you dry the and I'll
start putting these eggs in.
- Yeah.

Oh, Saul, did you put,
um, vinegar in that water?

Yes, I put vinegar in the water.

- I do know how to poach an egg.
- Okay, relax.

Scotty, I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to jump on you.

I just... didn't sleep
very well last night.

Were you thinking about what
we talked about last night?

No. Because I didn't mean to pressure you.

If you don't want to get tested...

Could we just concentrate
on the frisée salad, please?

Hey. Anything I can do to hel...

- Whoa! Oh.
- Is everything okay?

Listen, Rebecca, do me a favor.

There are too many cooks in this kitchen.

Uh, Rebecca,

would you mind taking out
these empanadas for me?

Definitely.

How was the drive?

- Oh, it wasn't bad.
- Whatever you do, don't go in the kitchen.

Everybody's freaking out.
I'm gonna grab a sweater.

You want one, Justin?

- Justin.
- No, I would've asked. Thank you, Rebecca.

Are you guys okay?

We've been better. What about you?

- How you feeling?
- I feel fine.

What do they have you
taking these days? Taking?

- For your heart, Robert.
- Atorva,

which is why I'm gonna
have some more of this.

Hi, guys.

- How were the crowds?
- The crowds were large, friendly.

Well... loud, excruciatingly loud.

- Robert, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Sure.

- Oh, don't go in the kitchen. Saul might kill you.
- What?

That's nice. Oh, look
how cute. They have menus.

So let's see, they have
"lamb burgers with yogurt,

chipotle meatloaf."

- Ooh, yum.
- Anyone want some olive tapenade?

Wine, please. Wine, please.

Here. Oh, Rebecca, when
do you start your new job?

- It's a sensitive subject.
- Yeah, so maybe we should just drop it.

All I am saying, Robert,
is that it's weird.

Okay, I've tried to track Citizens
for a Corrupt-Free America,

and they are not a
registered lobbying group.

They don't exist anywhere.

I'm sure it's just some
wing nut with a computer.

No, they put it up in
exactly the right places.

Cable news picked up the private jet story

- just as we were coming off the bus.
- Okay, well, look, it's not...

- It's ironic.
- It's not true, so...

It doesn't matter if
it's not true, Robert.

There is somebody out there
who has a lot of information

and a lot of experience,
and for whatever reason,

they've decided to come after me.

Okay, look, you're up in the polls,

- so it makes perfect sense.
- Okay, it makes sense,

but I'm still trying
to find out who it is.

And I've called a couple
of my friends, you know,

on the other side, and
they flatly deny it.

Hey, look, I don't want
you to worry about this.

Robert, they brought up the wig...

And how much it cost.

I mean, they brought up the cancer.

I didn't think they were gonna
do that, and they... they did.

Oh. Too much cilantro in that.

I'm sure it's fine.

How's everyone doing in here?

Oh, great. She's a little jittery.

Kevin, drop it. He didn't
sleep well last night.

- It's our fault.
- Oh, come on, Scotty, for God sake.

Why is it our fault?
Why, because were talking

about getting tested?
Why are you even worried?

It's not like you've
been around the block.

- You've barely set foot outside your own house.
- Would you please stop

being so patronizing
and cavalier about this?

Okay, I'm sorry I ever mentioned it.

- Are you?
- Yeah.

Do you have any idea what
you're asking of me? Do you?

This world the two of you live in,

where everything is so easy
and so much is possible...

You have a surrogate carrying your child.

- You're... you're married.
- Technically, we're not married.

Oh, Kevin, excuse me. I'm so sorry.

You're domestic partners.
Whatever. When I was your age,

I just hoped that I wouldn't get arrested

- when I walked into a gay bar.
- Saul,

if you don't want to
get tested, I'll tot...

- It's too late. I already did.
- What?

I took the test this morning.

- Well, that's a good thing, right?
- It's great for people like you,

because it's spring cleaning for you.

Isn't that what you
said, you go every year?

But you see, I never opened that closet.

Regardless of the world
that you grew up in,

the world that I knew
was a lot less accepting.

People died.

Don't you get it?

For me, bad news is po...

so why don't you plate up this food?

And I will get some fresh air.

It's just pushing my buttons is all.

It's just making me doubt everything.

What are you doubting?

Well, it's been two
months since my last test.

And you were fine.

But I have to have
another one in six months

and another one after that.

It's always gonna be there.

You're not gonna get sick again.

What if I do?

What if I really...

Can't handle this?

Don't do this. Don't.

Don't let one person do this to you.

You are up in the polls,
and you had a bad day.

Okay, I am gonna go get us some wine.

Where the hell is he going?

You know, I don't know.
But he seemed really upset.

You know, I'm gonna go talk to him.

Mom, stop. Don't.

Don't get involved.

Keep drinking.

Yeah, you know, I'll
go to the kitchen, mom.

I will find out what's going on, okay?

I'll come with you for moral support.

Why is your mother calling me?

I don't know.

Hey, Holly.

What's up?

They're drilling again?

Well, who authorized that?

You're kidding me.

- Look, Sarah, I can explain...
- No, I will talk to her. Thank you.

Mom, what the hell are you doing?

Look, it's worth the time
and effort. I know it.

So you paid for more drilling?

- It's my money.
- There's nothing there, mom.

If there was, they
would've found it by now.

Sarah, it's just a few more days drilling.

Oh, God, mom. I love
you, but you have to stop.

You cannot solve everybody's problems...

mine, Kitty's, Saul's.

- Just leave it alone.
- No, I don't believe, as a family,

- we can't help each other.
- Then how can I move on if you don't?

I need more information, Robert.

I'm starting to feel
really weird about this.

There's nothing more I can say.

Why are you taking amiodarone?

I started to have some arrhythmia again.

Does Kitty know?

- I didn't think anyone knew.
- I'm sorry.

I saw the bottle on your desk, all right?

And now you're telling me
you're hiding it from Kitty.

- What is going on, Robert?
- What I'm

asking you to do has
nothing to do with my health.

- Then what is in the safety deposit box?
- Justin, don't do this.

- I need to. You can't expect me to just...
- No, I can expect it.

That's why I chose you.
That's the whole point.

I'm sorry. I'm worried about you, Robert.

Give me the key back.

I mean it. I clearly
chose the wrong person.

Hey, guys. Tasting menu's ready.

Excuse me.

Is he okay? 'Cause he
seems a little testy.

Yeah, you know what?
He... he's fine. He's fine.

Uncle Saul, I... I'm...

Sorry. I didn't realize...

It's okay. Come on. Let's go eat.

Menus.

Thank you. Menus.

Thank you.

Menus.

Okay, so, uh, the idea
behind our restaurant

is comfort food meets organic meets tapas.

And we are very hopeful
and very optimistic.

We better be, 'cause we open in a month.

So, um, you all have your menus.

Um, mark down what you
like in order of preference.

And I want everybody's
opinion, not just Kevin's.

- So, uh, dig in.
- You all right?

What's wrong? Robert?

- I think someone should call 911.
- What's wrong?

- Robert. Robert.
- Justin!

- Call 911.
- What's happening?

You okay? You okay? It's all right.

Look at me. Breathe.
Just breathe, all right?

Oh, hey.

- Oh, wow. What time is it?
- It's early.

How are you feeling?

I've been watching you.
What could be better?

Hmm. I need coffee.

I will call room service.

You know what, honey?

It's not funny.

You have been walking
around with an arrhythmia,

and you never bothered to tell me.

I didn't want you to...

Didn't... didn't want what?

I... to have to choose
between me and the campaign.

That's what grown-ups do.

We talk about it and we set priorities.

- But I want you to win.
- Robert, we had to call an ambulance.

Look...

I got dizzy, all right?

I shouldn't have said anything.

You are... I... I'm sorry.

- Seriously, you are unbelievable.
- I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

You know that? You are unbelievable.

You just will never accept
anything from anyone.

You are incredibly stoic, and I...

I love that about you.

I really do.

But, you know, I also love the
part of you that is vulnerable.

I love the part of you that needs me.

When you can't figure out what
tie to wear, I am in heaven.

When you can't find your glasses, I...

forget about it. I'm...

I just didn't fall in love with the hero.

I fell in love with the guy who was
afraid that, after his heart attack...

he wasn't gonna be able
to keep up with his kid.

Look...

I may have gotten myself into a situation.

Those hits that you've been taking?

They're directed at me.

They're shots across the
bow from a guy named Stanton.

He's in line for a big defense contract.

Go on.

You're out early.

Yeah. I went for a little walk.

- I just talked to Kitty.
- Oh?

She said Robert's gonna be all right.

They are releasing him
from the hospital today.

Oh, boy. That's great. Thank God, huh?

- You're the one I'm worried about.
- Me?

Yeah. Oh, I see. You've
been talking to the boys.

I'm so sorry I didn't know
what you were going through.

Please tell me about this friend of yours.

What can I say?

He wasn't the only one.

I... I... I...

I spent most of my life
living in shame, Nora.

There were no role models
for me when I was growing up.

But you can't be alone every night,

and there... there were
times when I let myself...

but it was always in secret,

and it was rarely with the same person,

so it could never be anything real.

I made sure of that.

Didn't you worry about
what that might cost you?

Don't forget. We knew nothing
about what was going on

in those days, and there were

- times...
- I meant cost you... your... your heart, your soul.

No. No, I c... I couldn't
let myself think that way.

Well, then it's time to start.

Your life is not over yet.

W... when do you get your results?

Now. Today. Whenever I want.

Good. Let's call, and I'll
sit right here with you.

No, I have to do that
when I'm alone. Please.

For crying out loud, what
is wrong with everyone?

What, is there a moratorium
on compassion around here?

We're family. That means you
don't have to do things alone.

That's the whole point.

You are so pushy.

Well, tough.

Here. Take that.

All right.

I have to get the number.

All right. Here it is.

I had a test the other day.
I'm calling for the results.

Saul Holden.

H-o-l-d-e-n.

My birthday is August 11, 1938.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Mom, Holly called. We gotta go.

- Where?
- Narrow Lake. Hurry!

Come on. Narrow Lake.

Can you believe this?

- What is it?
- It's an aquifer.

It's our aquifer.

It's Narrow Lake! I knew it! I knew it!

What does this mean exactly?

It means that we are
in the water business.

I mean, do you know how
much California needs water?

- We are going to be rich?
- How deep is it?

They said it's the deepest
one they've ever seen.

Well, tell 'em to stop
it. Boys, turn it off.

They're getting a well cap. Don't worry.

Oh, dear. We don't want it to run out.

Nora, it's enormous. It's
an entire ocean under there.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Oh, no!

Okay, come on, Nora. Let's go.

Yeah sure, right.

I guess I wasn't feeling so hot.

You still want me to give you the key back?

Actually, I do, but not
because I don't trust you.

I think Kitty and I should
handle this ourselves.

Oh, you told Kitty. That's good.

Yeah, I told her everything.

I probably should've a long
time ago, but I think I...

Have to keep learning
this lesson over and over.

Hey. So I heard you were part of a
very covert operation this weekend.

Uh, yeah. So covert, I had
no idea what was going on.

All right. Well, I guess I'll see you guys

- back at the bat cave.
- All right, Justin. Take care.

- Bye.
- See you later, boo-boo. Take care.

- Bye, darling.
- I love you.

Sarah, I know how much you
like the chipotle meat loaf.

Thank you.

You know, your restaurant's
gonna be a big hit.

- Thank you.
- And if not,

Sarah can support you
for the rest of your life

now that she and mom are
the water queens of Ojai.

I think there's enough
queens in the family.

- Oh, Nora.
- Yes.

- Here. This is the Mac and cheese.
- Oh, Scotty. Thank you.

- Come on.
- Okay.

- Bye. Bye.
- Mom...

- Yeah.
- Even if we hadn't found water, I wouldn't trade

- that miserable bus trip for all the pizza in the world.
- You know what?

She's going out again next

- weekend to the bay area.
- Don't push your luck.

- It's wine country.
- Get in the car.

- All right, I'm getting in the car. I'm getting in the car.
- Bye!

Okay, let's go. Hit the road.

- Bye, guys. Bye...
- Oh, you angel. Bye.

Oh, thank you. Bye, you guys.

- Bye, sweetheart.
- Good-bye!

Drive safe.

Are you sure you turned the ovens off?

Uh, yeah. Four times.

How's Robert?

Uh, he's fine. He's fine.

They just, uh, changed his medication.

Good.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Did you mean what you said
about going without you?

To Haiti? Yes, I did.

Look, I was just thinking
about Robert and Kitty

and... and... and how they're
there for each other, you know?

And that... that's what
I want for us, Rebecca.

I know you do.

Me, too.

And you think we can
survive this separation?

Would you be happy any other way?

I know that a year is a long time,

but compared to a lifetime,

- a year is nothing.
- To, I mean, a lifetime?

- Justin...
- Like a real lifetime?

I love you.

I love you, too.

You're listening to
conservative talk radio.

When he was elected president
of the United States...

I've been thinking about
the whole Stanton thing.

Yeah. I think you
should release the tapes.

Reputation was already characterized...

I'm serious.

- We would take a major hit.
- Mm-hmm.

- And we might even lose, but...
- Yeah,

but if we play it safe and wait until

- the election is over, he's still gonna come after me...
- Exactly.

And he's gonna come after me just as hard.

You want to know what
Stanton's big mistake was?

He never should've brought up the wig.

It really pissed me off.

Died in the Civil War.

And the focus on States' rights...

Release 'em.

Let's release 'em.

Through the first quarter
of 2010, but has...

Well, I'm glad you're okay, Saul...

You big drama queen.

That's very funny, Kevin. Th...

Listen, Holly's getting a phone call.

- We'll talk later. Okay?
- Okay. Bye.

- Hello?
- Hey, where are you guys?

We're almost at the Ventura border.

Oh, cool. We're right behind you.

Nora and I have been talking, and we think

- that maybe you should revisit the Hawaiian wedding idea.
- Oh, my gosh.

That wedding I planned was so beautiful.

Or I don't know, maybe David
and I will get married there.

No, no, no, hold on, hold on.

Our mothers want to throw
us that wedding in Hawaii

now that they can afford
it. What do you think?

Um, tell 'em thank you, but,
uh, no. Not Hawaii again.

I'll tell them we'll think about it.

Mom, we're gonna think about it. Hello?

I lost her.

Look, I just say, we
leave well enough alone.

You know, every time we think
about having a big wedding,

- something bad happens.
- I know,

plus it's redundant.
We're already married.

We should just let mom and dad do it.

I mean, I'd go that way.

Are you tired? You want me d drive?

No. No, no, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Why don't you find something on the radio?

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

Oh, God.

- Scotty!
- Oh, my God. Kevin!

Scotty, Scotty, are you okay?

- I'm fine. I'm fine.
- Justin!

I'm fine. I'm fine. Kevin,
are you okay? Are you hurt?

- Help the others. Help the others.
- Mom... what?

- Are you okay?
- I think we hit Robert's car.

Oh, my God. There was a... there was a truck...

- Where's my mom?
- This guy cut him off.

Holly's in the car. I can't
get Holly out of the car.

- Holly's hurt.
- Mom! Mom!

- Just sit down over here.
- Call emergency.

- Just sit down, all right? Just sit...
- Mom! You okay? Where's Saul?

I don't know. Where's Saul?

I don't know!

I see him.

Saul!

I'm fine. Are you okay?

Yeah. Good. I'm...

Don't touch me!

You can't.

Kitty! It's all right, Robert.

- Kitty! Kitty!
- Oh, no, no.

Justin, Justin. I think he's really hurt.

Okay, okay. I think he's really hurt.

- All right. Let me in. Let me in. Okay.
- I think he's really...

Hey, Robert. Hey, the... there's my man.

Justin, help! Mom's bad.

Justin...

I'll wait for the ambulance.

Go. All right, Kitty. Keep talking to him.

Oh! I'll be back. I'll
be back, Robert. Okay?

Oh, God.

Holly. Rebecca, clear out. Clear. Rebecca.

Holly? Holly, can you hear me?
I don't know if she's breathing.

Can you hear me, Holly? Holly.

Holly? Oh, good, good. Okay,
Holly, it's Justin, all right?

I'm just gonna put this
on to keep you warm, okay?

You're gonna be okay. She's gonna be okay.

Okay, Robert, everything's
gonna be okay, honey.

You're gonna be fine, okay? Talk to me.

- Just talk to me, darling. It's okay.
- You were right.

I was right?

When we brought Evan home from
the hospital, I was scared...

That I wouldn't be able to keep up.

But then I saw you holding him...

So strong...

and so loving.

And I knew that...

you would.

I knew it.

Robert.

Robert. Robert. Talk... talk to me.

Oh, God. Robert...

stay with me, Robert. Right here. Robert.

Oh, my...

Robert?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Somebody...

Some... oh, Robert.

Robert, please. Please. Please, Robert.

Stay with me. Robert, stay with...

Oh, God, somebody...

Somebody...

somebody help me. Help me.

Robert. Robert.

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

Just stay with me.

Stay with me, Robert.

Oh, Robert... it's gonna be all right.

Kitty!

Kitty!

Kitty!
