Six Feet Under (2001–2005): Season 4, Episode 11 - Bomb Shelter - full transcript

Brenda feels the clock is ticking and wants to have a baby sooner rather than later. Nate wants to think about it for a while. A lunch with her mother Margaret doesn't go particularly well ...

Why is it always
up to me, Cindy?

I end up
doing everything.

I'll bring the food, but I think Ann
should bring the drinks.

- What's their address again?
- On Orange, just off Crescent.

She brought one lousy pizza
for the whole team to the last game.

- I need the exact address.
- I know how to get there.

- I want to use the GPS.
- You're dead!

- What game are you playing?
- Mortal Kombat.

- Is that violent?
- It's not violent.

Where did you get
that game?

- I need a new DVD!
- Just use that one again.



- I need the exact address.
- It's Bobby's.

Cindy says no way is Bobby
allowed to play that game.

- She wants to know where he got it.
- We just passed Crescent.

- I want a new DVD.
- Turn left on Crescent.

- Which way? I need the address.
- I'm waiting.

- Just a second, honey.
- Just give her one.

- Go left!
- Here?

You have quite an extensive
personal collection as well.

There's something
weird about twins.

About these twins, anyway.

They're cute.

They always smell
like bananas.

You just don't think
any kid's as good as Maya.

Well, they're not.



'Cause you're perfect,
aren't you?

Why yes.

We could have
a pretty great kid.

What time are
they coming down?

Tomorrow afternoon
sometime.

Are we supposed
to cook for them?

Because I really
don't feel like

making dinner
for someone who hates me.

Barb doesn't hate you.
She was just surprised to see you.

Okay, maybe you're not
her favorite person,

but this is a chance
for her to get to know you.

Sure you don't want me
to hide in the garage?

- I can curl up real small.
- Bren.

So about that
thing I just said,

that thing that you
completely ignored?

I heard you.

We could have
a great kid.

- So...
- So, it's something to think about.

To think about.

Yeah, I already had a kid
without thinking about it,

and I don't want
to do that again.

So when were you thinking
about thinking about it?

Because I'm thinking
sooner rather than later.

What's the rush?

Well, um...

I'm kind of at an age

where I can't commit
to a relationship

that doesn't have
the possibility

of having a child.

So look, if you're
saying no...

I'm not saying no,
I just...

It's overwhelming just
dealing with one child...

and all this,
kind of new.

You know, it takes
a couple our age

on average like a year
to get pregnant.

So even if we
started trying now

we might not have
a baby for two years.

I'm not saying no.
I promise.

Okay.

- You got groceries?
- Mm-hmm.

Chandler walnuts
from the farmers' market.

- All of that is walnuts?
- Mm-hmm.

What are you going
to do with them?

We're going
to eat them.

Some of them we can
process into walnut butter,

but mostly
we'll eat them.

They're full of protein
and omega-3s.

Oh.

I got the brochure from
the Loving Couples Center.

- What's that?
- The retreat Kyle and Becky went on.

It's quite a list of weekend
workshops that they offer.

They sent
a videotape as well.

"Intimacy and Healing,"

"Finding the New
in Your Partner,"

and "Tantric Love,"

which you seem
to have circled.

Hoping to add some
spice to our sex life?

It's becoming
very popular.

Woody Harrelson,
Jill Eikenberry

and Sting are
all practitioners.

I mean, not with each other,
but you know...

Ruth, if this is
something you'd like to do,

I'd be more
than happy to go.

Really?
I'm so pleased.

I'll fill out
the application.

Oh, I was wondering.

Where do you keep
your extra water?

There's a pitcher
in the refrigerator.

No, I mean for earthquakes
and other emergencies.

You should always have
some extra water on hand,

flashlights, batteries,
some canned food.

Do you know something?
Is there going to be an earthquake?

Is that why you got
the walnuts?

No, I got the walnuts
because I like walnuts.

And yes, there most certainly
is going to be an earthquake.

We can't pinpoint
exactly when,

but could be tomorrow,
could be 100 years from now.

Oh, you had me
concerned.

Well, you should
be concerned.

We should all be
concerned and prepared,

if not for an earthquake
then a terrorist attack,

or a catastrophic drought,
or who knows what else?

George, lately it seems

if it's not one thing
with you, it's another.

Exactly.

Wow.

Wow, these are amazing.

Really.

Amazing, Claire.

Yeah,
they're so cool.

They remind me of that guy...
what's his name?

The guy who does people
in swimming pools.

- David Hockney.
- Yeah.

And he did this
one thing of photographs

- like of the desert...
- "Pearblossom Highway."

Yeah, that.

But it's like you took it
10 steps further.

You made it
personal.

You know,
Jean Baudrillard once said

every possible art form
has already been explored

and all that's left is

to deconstruct
and play with the pieces.

That's literally
what you did.

Explain the process.

Well, I'd take a whole
bunch of closeups of someone,

like every inch
of their face,

and then print those
actual size,

and photocopy them,

and then
papier-mâché pieces

over the person's face
and make an actual mask.

Hmm.

Then when that dried
I had them put the mask back on

and then I would take
a portrait

in a setting that
hopefully reveals

something new
about the person.

Yeah, there's so
much depth to them.

Exactly,
they're like sculpture.

Is that what you
were thinking?

I don't know.

I guess I was thinking
more emotionally,

like how many layers
there are to a person,

and how we
all wear masks,

even if that mask
is our own skin.

But I think it was
my background in sculpture

that really allowed
us to make that leap.

You know, when I first
put the pictures

of Claire's open eyes
over her closed eyes,

I was thinking
of her as sculpture.

So you helped
her with these?

In terms of creating
the original concept, yeah.

We worked together.

I mean, she's a photographer.
I'm a sculptor,

and somehow we combined
those two elements

and created
something new.

I think they
turned out great.

You look just
like your mother.

Yeah, that's what
everyone says...

or said.

I'm so sorry.

Such a tragedy.

I still can't
even quite...

It's just too much.

Does your family
have a burial plot?

I don't know,
I doubt it.

Cremation is
a popular option.

Yeah, do that,

but then buried.
I want them somewhere all together,

- where I can go see them.
- We can arrange that.

Have you thought about
what kind of service you want?

I don't even know what
kind of services there are.

- Just a regular one.
- Okay.

Did your family have
a lot of friends?

They had friends,

but I don't know
who all of them are.

Okay, well, we can post
a notice in the paper.

We're also happy
to make any calls.

Do you have
any other family?

I don't think you should
be dealing with this alone.

One grandmother left,

but she's in a home.

And an aunt and an uncle
in Florida,

but I don't really know them.
So it's just me.

My whole family...

Basically, what we're
looking at here is battery, assault,

and intentional infliction
of emotional distress.

Mr. Pasquese suffered a torn earlobe,
inflicting acute pain

and requiring meticulous
surgical resculpturing.

The pain's rendered
him unable to work and he's had

to drop out as producer
of a major motion picture.

- What?!
- Additionally,

his irreplaceable earring was lost
during the course of the attack.

It was just
a little hoop!

Who wears earrings
now anyway?

Mr. Pasquese has also
suffered recurrent nightmares

and has been unable to enter
a sushi establishment,

greatly lessening
his enjoyment of life.

For these reasons we are asking
for restitution of $500,000.

Are you out of your
fucking mind?!

We'll leave you
to consider the details.

If they're not to your liking,
we'll institute a civil case

and consider pressing
criminal charges.

Oh my God!

This is ridiculous.
She can't possibly be serious, can she?

How strong
is his case?

- Did you bite his ear, Mr. Fisher?
- Well, yes!

Well, then his
case is quite good.

But what am I
supposed to do?

I don't have that
kind of money.

Can't we do a temporary
insanity plea or whatever?

I mean, his therapist
thinks he's suffering

from post-traumatic
stress disorder.

In the event that this case
goes to trial,

that's a possibility.

But do you really want
this to go to trial?

Because that's when things
become very expensive.

I like this restaurant.
How'd you hear about it?

Joe.

Oh, have you been
speaking to him lately?

No, he hasn't called

and I feel too guilty
to call him.

I think he feels

like I betrayed him

and I never
took him seriously.

Well, you
certainly did...

betray him.

Well, yeah, Mom,
I know that, thank you.

Come on, darling.
I'm not judging you.

I've done far worse.

The thing is, is that
I did take him seriously.

I really believed
that I was going

to settle down
and have his baby.

I never thought that I could have
that with Nate.

That he would
forgive me

and want
to take me back.

Well, I think Nate's
been going through

some life-changing
experiences himself.

Oh, he's still
going through them.

I think I understand his relationship
with Lisa better now...

how you can settle
for someone

who's just not the person
you should be with.

You know, you and Nate
sound like me and Bern,

the way we knew
each other.

I mean,
we understood each...

we understood each other

like nobody else could.

God help you.

Oh.

The chicken
Caesar salad, please.

Mom?

I'm going to have
the Porterhouse steak, medium rare.

You're having
steak for lunch?

Yeah, I'm just feeling
a little anemic lately.

Yeah, you do
look a little pale.

No, I think I'll
go to the bathroom.

Be right back.

Hi, my name is
Albert Gross.

I was wondering if you
might have a moment

to discuss your
eternal happiness.

Yeah, sure.

Come on in.

Through a global
preaching campaign,

God is making known the good news
about His kingdom

governed by
Jesus Christ.

Those who respond are
gathering into a place

of spiritual protection
and healing.

Soon we'll experience freedom
from all injustice and suffering.

Seems to me like just
the opposite is happening.

That's because
human government is

- still under the control of Satan.
- Uh-huh.

The perfect government
is in heaven.

From there the King Jesus
Christ will rule all the earth.

So how do you think
King Jesus plans to address

the ever-widening holes
in the ozone layer, hmm?

Or the missing stockpiles
of weapons-grade plutonium?

Well, I think that
God will solve

all of mankind's problems
in His own way.

Albert, look,

this is an enormously
complex world we live in,

and its problems are
multiplying every day.

Now, we're not going
to solve those problems

by going door to door
and asking people

to get down on their
knees and pray to the sky!

Shouldn't a bright
young man like you

be doing something
constructive?

I'm going to write down

a couple of websites
for you to check out

that will hopefully
enlighten you a little bit.

- Excuse me, are you Brenda Chenowith?
- Yes.

Your mom needs you
in the ladies' room.

Oh, thank you.

Mom?

I'm in here.
Do you have any pads?

No, why do you
need a pad?

Don't tell me you had
that vagina surgery.

No, I just went in
for a consultation.

Listen, I've been
bleeding a lot lately.

Oh God, Mom!

It won't stop.

It just won't stop.

I'm calling 911.
Don't worry, Mom.

Don't worry.

# She says,
"Wake up..." #

Claire, it's me... Mom.

# I'll keep stealing,
breathing her... #

I have
your laundry.

Oh, you didn't
have to do that.

But it gives me an excuse
to come up and visit.

Well, you can come up
anytime you want.

Thank you.

There's no one
in the house anymore.

It's so quiet.

I know that smell.

# Naked as we came #

# One will spread our... #

Is this marijuana?

- # Ashes round the yard #
- Uh, yeah.

Oh.

I used to smell it on Nathaniel
every once in a while.

I always thought it was some
sort of embalming chemical.

He never gave it
to you, did he?

No. Oh, God, no.

I discovered it
on my own.

How funny that Nathaniel
would keep it a secret.

Do you smoke it a lot?

- Not too much.
- That's good.

I read somewhere
that you should treat it as a spice...

just a little pinch
here and there.

Okay.

How striking.

You used to make collages
as a little girl.

I did?

You were always tearing up my magazines
before I could read them.

Oh wow...
I mean, sorry.

Well...

back to my quiet house,
I suppose.

Well, you got
George in there.

He's not much
of a noise-maker.

Hey, are things okay?

Oh yes,
definitely better.

I can see he's trying,
and so am I.

He's a good man, he just
needs to let me in a little.

I still want
to grow old with him.

I mean, I'm almost
there already.

Oh, please, you have
a long way to go.

He agreed to go to a Loving Couples
workshop with me.

Really?
That's cool.

On tantric love.

Mom!

I know!

Don't tell the boys.

Hey, guys!
How was the movie?

Augusto was scared.

- You took them to see a scary movie?
- No, it was a cartoon.

- They're too young to see scary movies.
- It wasn't scary.

You guys go brush your teeth.
Get ready for bed.

So, Julio tells me that...

what's her name?

Kenny's sister, Julie,
has been watching them.

Isn't she some
kind of druggie?

Oh, please, she smoked a little pot
in high school. We all did.

- I didn't.
- I know, Rico, 'cause you were boring.

It's just weird that Kenny's
whole family is moving in here.

You're so ridiculous.

I'm a single parent.
I need help.

Julie's a good babysitter
and she's coming over tomorrow.

You're not a single parent.
I can watch the kids.

I don't want you here
all the time.

So I have to keep paying
for a babysitter?

I work as much as you do.
You're not paying for anything.

Don't we have any rice?

How am I supposed to make
risotto without any rice?

That's what risotto is,
it's rice.

- So, we'll have pasta.
- I don't want fucking pasta!

David, calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.
We're going to lose everything.

This lawsuit is
going to bankrupt us.

- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is!

My liability insurance
won't cover any of this.

He's going to sue us

and take everything we have,
that stupid motherfucker!

David,
take a deep breath.

Now, hold it in.

Now, slowly let it out.

Do it again.

Feel yourself relax.

Instead of focusing on the negative,
think positive thoughts.

Does that include beating the shit out
of Roger fucking Pasquese?

Look, even if he does
sue us, we'll be okay.

He can't take anything of mine
'cause I had nothing to do with this,

and legally
he has no right.

Maybe this is the upside
to us not being able to get married.

He's going to take my part
of the funeral home

and garnish my wages
for the rest of my life.

- No, he won't.
- Of course he will. He wants revenge.

You notice he didn't say
a word the whole meeting.

I think his lawyer is
putting him up to this.

He's probably
a reasonable guy.

I don't think so.

Maybe we should try talking
to him away from his lawyer,

see if we can
settle this ourselves.

He'll never
agree to it.

Well, I'm going to call him tomorrow.
We got nothing to lose.

The Loving Couples Center
offers many different workshops.

Whatever your needs, we're sure
you'll find one suited to you.

- Maybe even more than one.
- Let's not be pushy, Bob.

I hope those people
aren't going to be there.

I think they're just
celebrity spokespeople.

They're
celebrities?

- Who are they?
- I don't know.

Mom, can you come
downstairs, please?

- Now?
- Now would be good.

That's a lot of water.

Yes, it's a lot of water.
What is it doing in there?

What happened
to my cremains urns?

- I put them in the smaller closet.
- You did this?

I told you I was going
to order some extra water.

This is a good deal
more than I anticipated.

Well, I thought
you understood, Ruth.

This is only the bare minimum
of what you would need

- in case of an emergency.
- Sorry, but we can't keep it in here.

Well, I can't just put
it out in the driveway.

Maybe one
of the spare bedrooms.

Fine, just get it
out of here.

Or maybe that old bomb
shelter would be better.

Whatever.

You have
a bomb shelter?

Oh, Brenda!
Bren, stop!

I'm just trying to make you
more comfortable.

- Well, then get me some more Vicodin!
- You just had some.

I tell you what I need,
and you say no.

Mom, could you try
to just be a little bit more reasonable?

No, don't be reasonable.
Be as mean as you want.

- Let it all out.
- Thank you.

That's exactly
what I'm going to be...

a nasty old crone,

now that I'm
no longer a woman.

Mom, this doesn't make you
any less of a woman.

Oh really?

Then give me
your uterus.

Hey-hey.

Maybe I should
come back?

Of course not,
have a seat.

Yeah, stay.

Mom, I brought you
your favorite flowers,

as did Brenda.

Flowers are
for pretty girls,

not someone like me.

She's not
a woman anymore.

Come on, you're still
young and beautiful.

Of course they're going to say nice
things to you. They're your kids.

But me, I'm a miserable prick who cares
nothing about anyone but myself,

and I look at you
in your hospital bed,

tired and worn out
from surgery,

and I selfishly wonder
how long must I wait

before I can fuck you.

Wow, finally somebody
said something right.

It would have been weird
if I'd have said it.

Not in this family.

Darlings, would you please
give us a little privacy?

Oh God!
Mom, you're not going to...

I just want
to be with Olivier for a minute.

Now go.

Go on, go.
Get something to eat.

Look at all the flowers.
Ooh, a plastic monkey.

Look it, it's like
a parade float

without the parade.

These flowers
are amazing.

If they used
an actual tiger

that would occasionally maim
an innocent passerby,

then maybe I'd like it.

Isn't it
sad though?

Nothing we can
ever create

will be as beautiful
as this flower.

I don't know.

Those Lego dinosaurs you made
were pretty fucking amazing.

Why are you so
above everything?

Excuse me, but you
can't do that.

It's okay, Dick Cheney
is my uncle.

Hey, what's your problem?

What's my problem?

I can't fucking
believe

you would try to take
credit for my work.

I wasn't taking
credit for your work.

I was taking my share
of credit for our idea!

Oh, please.

Jesus Christ, are you
really that insecure

you have to take
credit for everything?

I don't want to have
this conversation.

Yeah.
Because you know you're wrong.

You know I tore
that photograph

and put the pieces
on your face.

That was the idea.
That was the fucking idea!

I can't believe you would try
and take credit for that.

You tore up a picture.
Big fucking deal!

I'm the one who told you
to photograph it!

- I'm the one who saw the potential!
- Great.

So if Picasso painted a picture,
it would be all right

if you took photos of it
and then tell everyone it was yours.

I can't believe you would
compare yourself to Picasso.

I wasn't.

Look, one of the coolest
things about this was

that we did it together.

I like that,

just working with you.

Excuse me, young lady!
I need to speak with you.

- Run!
- Fuck.

Did you want soup?

No, I always have
such ridiculously high expectations

of hospital soup,
and I'm always so very disappointed.

Thanks.

You know,
I should probably...

You don't have
to say anything.

- I will though.
- I know,

but you don't have to.

You think
I should tell Mom

I slept with Olivier
once in college?

I kind of wish you
hadn't told me.

Thank you.

It would be fun
to see Mom's reaction.

We are the most
sexually inappropriate

people in the world,
aren't we?

Yeah, well, look
who our mother is.

I don't think
we had a choice.

Yeah, but it's a little bit
too easy for me to blame her

- for all my horrible behavior.
- Oh no.

If you stop blaming her,
I'll have to do the same.

Maybe it's time.

What about Dad,
can we blame him?

I'm thinking
about having kids.

With Nate?

Yeah.

You think I'm crazy.

No no, not at all.

I think it's great.

I think you are going
to be a great mother.

It's good to see you.

Nathaniel's father
had it built

during the Cuban
missile crisis.

His mother
used to keep

her canned goods
in here,

but I haven't been
down here in ages.

This door is lined
with lead.

- See, it's just an old...
- Not a drop of moisture.

Somebody knew
what they were doing.

The boys used to
play down here.

And David,
when I'd scold him...

this was his little hideaway
place to sit and pout.

It's so dusty.

- It smells like...
- Life.

It smells like life.

Yes, sir,

this'll do just fine.

I always put black
actors in my films.

Even if the part doesn't
say it's a black guy,

I always think,
"Why not a black guy?"

Hmm.

You ever do any acting?

Me? No.

You should.

You got a face
like a movie star.

Don't you think
he should be in movies?

Uh, sure.

I'm pretty happy
doing what I'm doing.

Mm, ex-cop who becomes
a security specialist,

that's a movie
right there.

I love cops.

Sorry...

this'll just
take a second.

- Yeah?
- Check.

Okay, not only
is he suing me,

now he's hitting
on my husband.

I've met so many
guys like him

with their big black
sex cop fantasies.

He hasn't the faintest
idea that I'm a real person.

I'm not sure
he cares.

Thank you
very much.

I'll pay this
up front.

No, let us
get that.

What, you think you can
buy me off with a dinner?

- No, I was just...
- It's not personal, you know, David,

but you really
fucked up,

and, well,
someone's gonna pay.

Did he just make us
an offer?

I think he'll drop
the lawsuit

if I let him
blow me.

I think
you're right.

Hey, I hate
to play the cop,

but I'm thinking
you've been drinking,

and I should
drive you home.

Play cop
all you want.

It's a Porsche.

Follow us.

You working
on a new one of these?

Yeah.

I really like
making them.

What's the deal
between you and Russell?

Anita said he was talking
about it like it was his idea.

I am so sick
of him.

He thinks it was his idea
because he was there when we...

when l... you know what?
I don't give a shit.

Did he help with any
of those photos you gave me?

No!

He was just the one
who tore up the first photo.

So he needs
to lay off, then.

Let him do his own thing
with them, Jesus.

Everything's derivative
of everything.

I just wish he wasn't
connected to it in any way.

I showed them
to my gallery manager.

Really?

He went all
crazy over them.

You're kidding.

He said he wanted
to meet with you.

Holy fuck!
I can't believe you did this for me.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Who is it?

It's me, Rico.

Hey, Julie.

Wow, I haven't seen you
since high school.

Yeah.

- Where are the kids?
- Asleep.

Oh, okay.

Well, you can go now.

What?

I'm here.
You can go now.

Yeah, but Vanessa didn't say
you were coming by.

They're my kids too.

Araucanas, you really
should get some.

They're beautiful,
beautiful chickens.

We got four right now.

There's Petey, Pepe,
Polly and...

- Pogo.
- Pogo.

Well, we don't have
room for chickens.

Lisa loved animals.

Did anyone
want coffee?

- Sure, I'll have some.
- Yeah.

Nate, we should probably tell you
why we wanted to see you.

- It's about Lisa.
- Mm-hmm.

Her ashes,

how come they weren't,
you know, processed?

Uh, what do
you mean?

They were all... chunky.

They weren't pulverized.

The funeral director in Cœur d'Alene
said it was very old-fashioned.

Huh, I'm not
aware of that.

That's not something
you oversee.

No, no, we have a regular
crematorium that we use

and I don't know,
I mean, sometimes...

I guess they just
rushed the last step.

Then I want their number
so I can look into this.

Oh, Barb, please,
I'll take care of it.

I'd really like
to see it through.

It was suggested

that they may not
even be Lisa's ashes.

Yeah.

Okay, look, I need to tell you guys
something, l...

I gave Lisa
what she wanted.

What do you mean?

I mean, you know,

she didn't want
to be cremated, so I...

I buried her
in the desert.

What?

I know,
I should have told you,

but I thought it would be
less complicated this way.

So...

those aren't even
Lisa's ashes?

- No.
- Whose are they?

Somebody's ashes that were
never claimed from the '70s.

Sometimes people
don't pick them up.

So, in Lisa's vault,
with her name on it,

where my parents go
to visit her and pray,

are some complete
stranger's ashes?

- Look, I wanted to honor her...
- And where is Lisa?

The desert,
what desert?

The Mojave.

You dumped her by the side
of the road somewhere?!

No, of course not.
I buried her.

It's really beautiful
where I buried her. There's a tree and...

Was it off the 62
towards Joshua Tree?

No, I drove out
toward Palm Springs...

Is there a marker?

- How do I go see her?
- You see any Joshua trees around you?

- They're these short...
- I know what a Joshua tree is.

No, there's no marker,
per se.

Lisa didn't want
to have a... I'm sorry.

As you can imagine,
I was a little out of it.

It sounds like you were
completely out of it.

What you did is
probably illegal, Nate,

and it really pisses me off
that you lied to us.

Look, I gave her
what she wanted, okay?!

I thought that's
what you wanted too!

No, what I want is
for Lisa to still be alive,

and not have her daughter
be raised by a woman that she hated!

- Barb!
- This is fucked up!

You completely erased her
off the face of the earth,

like she never
even existed.

This raises a lot
of questions, Nate.

- What questions?!
- This is crazy!

I can't talk
about this anymore.

Come on, Hoyt,
we're leaving.

It raises a lot
of questions, Nate.

So, you gonna drop
the charges?

Yeah, forget it.

I'll call the lawyer
in the morning.

But get your boyfriend some Prozac
or a muzzle or something.

He just went through
a really awful experience

and is having problems
dealing with it is all.

Yeah?
How about you?

Me?

I'm trying to be there
for him, you know? Be strong.

Doesn't that get
a little old?

No.

Well, sometimes
it's kind of...

Tell me.

I understand, he went
through something really traumatic.

I'm completely
empathetic,

but sometimes I do get tired
of hearing about it.

- You're not his mother.
- I wish he would figure out

a way to deal with it rather than have
these episodes.

Well, at least I finally
got him into therapy.

That's a lot
for you to handle.

You must be real tense,
a little angry.

Exhausted.
It's like living with an invalid.

Yeah.

You know, if you ever
need anyone to unload on...

Thanks, I'll deal with it
my own way.

Really, though,

anytime you need to let off
a little steam...

I'm thinking this is the last time
we see each other.

Yeah, I figured.

You better go find
your boyfriend...

before he bites my cat
or something.

How was it?

I need to get home
and shower.

Hello?

Yeah, Julie called and
she said you sent her home.

I'm tired of my kids being left
with some babysitter

every single night of the week while you
go out with Kenny fucking Sims.

It's none of your goddamned
business what I do.

And I have a right to see
my kids whenever I want.

Oh, you got the right?

You can stay with them
all night, 'cause I'm not coming home.

It's called
a subscription.

Look, it's what she wanted,
all right?

I understand, it was obviously a highly
meaningful thing for you.

I'm just...

I'm disappointed
that you didn't feel

that you could share something
that meaningful with me.

- Okay, one, I'm not your patient...
- Oh, nice.

- So stop talking to me like I am...
- That's very constructive.

...and two, what I did
was between Lisa and me.

Look, I'm sorry.
I'm just upset.

Yeah, well, it really sucks
that you keep things from me.

Uh-huh, okay.

Why don't you
just tell me, okay?

Tell me when you're
ready to let me in

and make me part
of your fucking life.

Oh God.

- You guys have your lunches?
- Yes.

I made your peanut butter and jelly.
I know you like it.

I made it really good, too,
with extra peanut butter.

- Hi, Mommy!
- Hi! Hi!

Are you guys all
ready for school?

Okay, Julio,

go put your brother
in the car, okay?

And buckle him up
in his baby seat.

- Bye!
- Bye.

So, did you have
a good night?

Very nice.

It's nice to be with a man
who knows how to treat a lady.

Really?

- So what did you guys do?
- You know...

charity work.

I've had
enough of this.

I'm coming home.
I am coming home.

If you ever step foot in this house
again without my permission

- I'm calling the cops.
- The cops won't do anything.

This is still my house,
and you have no right to keep me out.

I don't care.
I'm still calling them,

and I'll let you
explain that to them.

Nate.

- Barb.
- Hoyt and I have been talking.

We're really upset about this. I don't
want Maya growing up in this house.

- What?
- We don't want her in a place

where Lisa isn't honored.

Look, Barb, I know this is
really weird for you...

I don't want to hear a word from you!
I know all about you!

Hey, you're completely
out of line.

We want Maya
to come live with us.

Yeah, well,
no fucking way!

- Maybe just part time...
- Are you people crazy?

No, but apparently you are.
The last time I came here

you said some psychic told you
Lisa was still alive...

You know what?
I was still in shock, I think, okay?

Anyway, I was high.

Look, you know
what you did with Lisa was wrong,

- and I hate to contact our lawyer...
- My God, what are you saying?

- But if that's what it takes...
- Get the hell out of here!

- Get the fuck off my property!
- Calm down now.

We're trying to do
what's best for Maya.

You don't care about Maya.
Now, get the fuck out of here!

You're not going to get
away with this, Nate! You're not!

Hey...

Don't you worry, baby.

Don't you worry, nobody's going
to take you away.

No, of course not.

- There's no way.
- I know this is scary...

It's not like enough bad shit
hasn't happened to me already.

She has absolutely
no legal right.

I mean, who the hell
am I, Job?

There is no way
that she can take Maya.

- I'm not taking her to day care.
- Leave her with me.

I have one class this
morning, I can skip it.

Please please,
I don't want to let her go.

Hey, just come inside
for a while.

- Everything will be okay.
- Yeah, okay.

Just come in
for a minute.

Beautiful, Claire.

Complex...

alluring...

and they're
fucking creepy.

I love 'em.

How did you come up
with the concept?

It's something I've done
ever since I was a kid,

tearing things up.

A genius from birth.

Well...

I have a new show

in a couple of weeks.

Let's put 'em in.

Really?
All of them?

Oh fuck, yes,
all of them.

That's great!

Shit.

It's kind of hard
to know what to say.

My family is gone
and no one can ever replace them.

But this is
what life is, right?

Pain.

Pain followed
by more pain.

Everything you have
can be taken away,

and it will be,
you know that.

Lisa was just
the beginning.

You're crazy to even think
of having another baby,

because I promise you,
from now on

only bad things
will happen to you.

- Have you seen George?
- No.

I can't seem
to find him anywhere.

They were so much
a part of me

that I never imagined
life without them.

But as deeply sad as
I am that they're gone...

- George?
- I'm down here!

Oh my.

The extension cord is
only temporary, of course.

We're going to need
at least a 5,000-watt generator.

I just got a call that
there's been a cancelation

in the tantric
loving workshop.

They can fit us in
this weekend if we'd like.

- This weekend?
- Yes, this weekend.

Oh, I don't think so.

I've got this guy coming over
first thing Saturday morning

who's going to give me some advice
on the air filtration system.

Well, how long is that
going to take?

Oh Jeez,
I'm not sure.

It's not the sort of thing
you want to rush now, is it?

I don't know.

I was thinking hammocks
against this wall.

How does that sound?

What's with
the baby monitor?

I feel safer knowing
what's going on in there.

- I don't trust Barb.
- Oh come on, you don't think she'd...

I didn't think she'd do anything weird
or crazy, but she already has.

I think Barb is
still trying

to deal with
Lisa's death,

and it's driving her
a little wacko is all.

You can relate.

I don't care what
she's going through.

She's never seeing
Maya again.

I'm sure this will
all blow over.

Just let her
work through it.

Well, when someone
threatens my family,

they don't get to work
through anything.

Your family is
going to be fine.

I promise.

And I'm sorry,
but this is definitely

not a good time for us
to have a baby, so...

I'm just saying.

I'm sorry, but we've got to focus
on Maya right now, just Maya.

Oh man,
what a day.

Would you believe
I spent the last six hours

standing outside this Japanese
businessman's hotel room,

and then found out
he wasn't even in there.

Did you make anything for dinner?
I'm starving.

Oh, shit.

I'm going to
fucking kill him.

He promised
he'd drop the lawsuit.

It's not that.

Then what is it?

The police called.

They arrested someone whose fingerprints
match the ones taken off the van.

I have to go in
and identify him.
