Previously on Weeds:

This is not what I had in mind.
Those are people's homes.

FEMA's gonna set them up
at the Marriott.

It's time to move on.
We take you off the sales floor.

- Traffic?
- You bring in lots and lots of mota.

- Holy shit.
- That house belongs to Celia.

- Celia Hodes.
- Celia Hodes.

She ran the whole thing.

They're all lying.

Please help me.

Going to Ren Mar. Gonna see Bubbie.



She's somewhere...

...far, far away.

The nurse was fired.

Family member called and said
he was taking over her care.

Hey, Dad, it's your family.

Who the hell are you
bursting in here like this?

- Why are you such a prick to me?
- I'm just not sure you're mine.

- What, are you on the run?
- Yes.

Well, that at least
I can wrap my head around.

Bingo.

Bubbie, who knew?

Nice dress, Mom.

We should've done this years ago.

- Burn the house, move to the beach?
- You can hear the ocean.



How great is that? Listen.

That's Silas watering his pot plants
in the shower.

Silas!

Okay.

The hair.
Identity crisis, new start, I get it.

More importantly,
the plants need to grow elsewhere.

Out of this house. Now.

- What are you so paranoid about?
- I'm paranoid about Len.

- He wants to be called Lenny.
- If Len sees those...

...he might flip.

Or steal them.

Or smoke them.

We just don't know. The bottom line
is, we don't shit where we eat.

Or eat where we shit.

Either way, words of wisdom.

Well, then where am I
supposed to put them?

Figure it out, young botanist.
Just get them gone.

Where are you going?

I need to buy a bed skirt.

- I wanna go shopping for a bed skirt.
- You don't know what it is.

It's like a dust ruffle.

- How do you know what that is?
- Gays know what a dust ruffle is.

- Silas.
- That's right.

I'm a big fag,
so you can suck my dick.

- Please can I come with you, Mom?
- No, honey.

I need some alone time...

...and you just told your brother
to suck your dick. Gross.

- Where are you really going?
- I just told you. Errands.

Dressed like that?

Good morning, Andy.

Len.

Lenny.

How long does it take Portnoy
up there to finish his business?

Use the downstairs bathroom.

I don't like the toilet in there.

It's got a padded seat.
It's like taking a shit on a mushroom.

I've taken a shit on mushrooms.

And on a mushroom, actually.

Of course you have.

Bonnie and Clyde, I don't know
what you two are running from.

And you know what? I don't care.

Just give me $300 in cash right now
and the subject is dead.

Okay.

Nice doing business with you.

Hey, so I'm doing something
potentially illegal today.

What sort of potentially illegal activity
are you engaging in, in that dress?

I got a page. He gave me an address.

- Who? Your John?
- Guillermo.

Psychotic gangster, burned-down
Agrestic Guillermo?

Do you wanna keep living
with your father?

It's work.

It's fine.

Keep your cell phone on.

In case of injury or imprisonment?

In case I need something
from the supermarket.

Like a rape kit?

I don't think they sell those at Ralphs.

It's work, it's fine.

Okay, have a good day at the office.

Maddy Shaheen, I'm the public
defender assigned to your case.

- Am I getting out?
- You gotta sit a little longer.

- The charges won't stick.
- Oh, thank God.

No one actually saw you drive
the Escalade into the store.

So we're totally cool.

- Escalade?
- It says Escalade.

That's what came through the window
unless it was one of the Lincoln things.

- What is it, a Navigator?
- What are you talking about?

Felicia Harken?

- Celia Hodes.
- Hodes, okay.

Right. Hodes.

Hey, any relation to Dean Hodes?

A loser who was
hitting on me in law school.

No. No relation.

Okay, here we go.

No, that is not it.

Are you retarded?

I'm just disorganized.
You don't have to be a bitch about it.

Oh, here it is.

Yeah, you're not getting out of here
anytime soon.

I pose a bigger threat to the public...

...than someone who drove a car
through a store window?

An anti-drug crusader
caught with grow house?

You're fucked like a stray dog
in Chinatown.

I shouldn't be in here.

The toilets are metal.

Anyway, your hearing date's in
three weeks. You were on city council.

So if you slept with any cops or judges
it's time to call in the favors.

I'll be in touch, Sally.

- Celia.
- Yeah, see you.

Felicia?

Hey, blanca.

You said you had a job for me.

Yeah, I do.

And good morning to you.

You need to get that fixed.

Obviously.

You gonna take a little drive
for me today, blanca.

Go down to TJ
and get that light repaired.

- In Mexico?
- Cheaper labor there.

I know a good garage.

Once you get over the border, take any
left off Revolucion and follow the river.

Paseo de los Heroes.

And look for the beer can
horse head thing hanging outside.

- Beer can horse head?
- Yeah, it's on the wall.

- And that's it?
- No.

I also want you to go to a farmacia
and get me some inhalers.

Ventolin and Aerobid.

Ten each. No, 15.

And don't get me FLOVENT,
it gives me a rash.

Ventolin and Aerobid.

Can you give me the address
of this place and I'll put it in my GPS.

Just, you know,
follow Paseo de los Heroes...

...and look for the horse.

And use your eyes.

Spoon-fed Americana.

There's 10,000 in it for you
if you don't fuck it up.

Ten thousand dollars.

No, cash on delivery.

Hey. That's for the inhalers.

Oh, I almost forgot.

We got you a present.

Wait, what is that?

Be gracious
when somebody gives you a gift.

- I don't really do this kind of thing.
- That's good luck.

Don't fuck with good luck.
Just say thank you.

Well.

How thoughtful.

And really...

...stuck on there.

Thank you.

You'll be fine.
Just smile and just act like you do.

And, you know, you're gonna
come back...

...and this money's gonna
jump into your purse.

It will be a good day for blanca.

Yeah.

What am I really doing?

Oh, no, no, no.

The money doesn't like it
when you ask questions.

- It gets very sad, wants to crawl away.
- All right, all right.

Off to Mexico.

Viva Zapata!

I'm gonna be at the track until 4...

...so you boys are basically
on your own.

Just check the monitors.

Keep an eye on her feeding tube
and check her diaper for deposits.

And roll her in the afternoon.
That's so she doesn't get bedsores.

Few minutes on each side.

It's a shame you boys
never got a chance to know her.

But you can blame your mother
for that.

- Now, you, Alan Ladd.
- Shane.

- And Klaus.
- Silas.

If either of you boys
have any big ideas...

...about going through my things
while I'm gone, you can forget it.

It's all rigged to blow your fingers off.

So stay out of my stuff...

...if you ever wanna handle
your little shmeckies again, okay?

Now, I don't believe
in wireless phones...

...so if something goes wrong,
you can page me at the track.

And if she dies on your watch,
it's your fault.

Got it?

She does that sometimes.

It's not necessarily bad.

- Okay.
- It sounds bad, Grandpa Lenny.

It's not.

And when your Uncle Andrew...

...crawls out of that
rattletrap van out there...

...tell him I expect to be reimbursed
for everything he eats.

And tell him he's a thief...

...and that he still owes me $20,000.

I gotta go, bye.

You're on first watch.

Guess who finished the Monster
Po Boy at The Gumbo Junction?

Five feet of fried fish goodness.

It was free because
he ate the thing in under an hour.

People sang and threw beads.
It was awesome.

Why are you here?
Where is Dean?

He's down in the lobby hitting on
some chick who dug him in law school.

And he wanted me to let you know
he's sorry there's no money for bail.

You fuckers ratted me out.

Might be another reason
why he's in the lobby.

Where's Nancy?

- Who? That nice widow?
- She should be in here.

Not me. Nancy.

My cellmate, Chita, says that
she's gonna make me her special girl.

I have to get out of here now.

It's good to make friends, Ceil.

Breach the divide.

Why can't we all just get along?

I like your hair.

I couldn't decide but I just did.
It's nice off her face, isn't it?

- It's youthful.
- My life is in danger.

Oh, come on, you're probably safer
in here than you are in town.

People are outraged.
Your house burned to the ground...

...but people spray-painted
"hypocrite" in the remains.

You have to get me out of here.

This is a nightmare.

And it should be Nancy's nightmare,
not mine.

- She does look scared, Doug.
- I am, baby.

Mommy's terrified.

Then maybe it's time for us to go.
I don't want you getting all upset.

- This must be really hard for you.
- No.

Please, please, please. I don't
want to be anybody's special girl.

Visitation is over, come on.

Help me. Help Mommy.

Hi.

Yo quiero una brake light para...

...this car?

Guillermo?

Una brake light especial?

I need to get my brake light fixed.

Guillermo sent me.

A hybrid, eh?

Yeah, hybrid car.

Gotta save those fossil fuels.

Dead Iraqi children.

- What's wrong with that car?
- Broken taillight.

You know, I'm still under warranty.

I really don't wanna blow that.
So when you're fixing my light...

...make sure everything's
back where you found it.

Oh, and while you're in there...

...can you override the thing that
stops me from doing GPS?

- I heard you can do that.
- That's illegal.

Una hora, you come back, eh?

An hour, great.

Well, I need a bag.

Small planet, doing my part.

End of street, red sign.

End of street, red sign.

Ten minutes, my limit.
After 10 minutes in the same room...

...I wanna kill or be killed.

Shane's in there...

...just staring at Bubbie's machines...

...scared to death
she'll kick on his watch.

Lenny's a master at giving kids
age-inappropriate tasks.

I'm surprised he didn't have Shane
drive him to the track.

He says you're a thief.

Who did?

Lenny. He said you...

...stole 20 grand from him
and he wants it back.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. You know what?

You're better off without a dad.
Fucks you up.

You're better off. At least
you can be your own person now.

I didn't mean that. I don't mean that.

I like your hair.

I did that too.

Tried to give myself a Mohawk
using my mom's lady shaver.

You're damaged.

I was born into it.

Terrific. So it's done?

Thirty.

- Thirty what?
- Dollars. For the light.

You're charging me?

Guillermo?

So, what do I do now?

You go home. Have a nice day.

No.

Diet Coke?

Diet Jarritos?

No.

Oh, iced latte?

Okay, I'll get for you, miss. It's $3.

Three dollars.

Do you have a change for a 50?

No. Nobody have.

- How much?
- It's two for 30, but for you, 25.

- The....
- Guitar? Yeah, guitar.

Do you have a red one?

Mellow out, Jesus.

God, no. No mas.

Is there a ba?o around?

- Toilet?
- No ba?o.

There is a Jack in the Box
on the other side.

San Ysidro.

Turn around.

Fine, enjoy the show.

God.

Not you.

Hi, sweetie.

Where are you?
I've tried you like 50 times.

I was in a parking garage.

- What is it, honey?
- Isabelle texted me.

Did you know Mrs. Hodes is in jail?

- What?
- She got busted for a pot house.

Your pot house, Mom.
She's ratting you out.

Fuck.

Yes, Mom. Fuck.

Okay, I'm kind of busy right now.
Don't say fuck.

- Are we safe?
- Of course we're safe.

I think we should
change our identities.

Have your passport ready.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

No passport?

I didn't know.

- So, what were you doing in Mexico?
- There's this skin cream.

Fade cream, actually.

Probably poison,
but definitely effective.

You came all the way here
for skin cream?

Yes, my skin is very important to me.

It's the first thing people see.

Is that alcohol, ma'am?

No, sir. That's my urine.

I see.

You mind unlocking your trunk?

Okay.

Thank you very much.

I'm gonna need you to pull over
to the second inspection area.

Doug says everyone fingered Celia.

Then he started giggling
because he said "fingered"...

...leading me to believe he's high.

But he's almost always high...

...so I believe the information
is reliable.

There's Mom.

How did it go at the track today, Dad?
Catch a few winners?

No? Not one?

Shocking.
How many races were there? Nine?

Anything?
Did you blow the whole 300?

I bet your grandpa
doesn't have $5 left in his wallet.

Can't pick a winner to save his life.

August 1 4th, 1 983.

- And away we go.
- Kentucky Mistress.

Lady's A Charm, Please Pass the Salt.

Winners.

Not one, three.

That trifecta
was the overlay of the century.

I clocked their workouts
for four months.

You clocked your shits
for four months.

I asked that prick over there
to pedal his little bicycle...

...which I bought him...

...up to Del Mar and throw down
a hundred dollars on a sure thing.

Father of the year.

What the fuck does he do?

He pockets it.

Goes out and buys himself
some Star Trek piece of shit.

It was Boba Fett.

I don't even know what that means.

Ganef.

I trusted you, and you lied to me.

"Oh, Dad, the horse lost."

They did lose every other time.

You never won.

That trifecta was a fluke.

That's the beauty of gambling.

You lose, you lose, and then
you win big to make up for it.

You stole my win big.

You destroyed the beauty.

What were you doing?

Sending two kids to the track
to place your bets, anyway?

Judah would have never --

The whole thing was Judah's idea!

Lower your voice.

- You'll agitate your Bubbie.
- Bubbie was in on it too.

She told us to take your money. Go
to the boardwalk and have some fun.

"He'll never win," she said.
"He's a schlimazel."

- She never said such a thing.
- She did. Tell him, Bubbie.

Leave her alone. She's a bag of
broccoli. If Judah were alive today --

- She's trying to talk.
- If Judah were alive, what?

She's trying to talk!

- What did she say?
- Something about Target.

Idiot.

It's Yiddish. She speaks Yiddish.

What does it mean?

It means, "Kill me."

You see what you've done?

- Oh, could I just --
- Get back behind the line.

Oh, you think there's a tiny
little immigrant stuffed in my lipstick?

Joke.

You didn't laugh
because I was redundant.

Tiny, little.

Bingo.

This one is mine, boys.

Would you like to explain why you
have drugs hidden in your vehicle?

Welcome back, blanca.

It took you a while.

I see you got some souvenirs.

They tore the car apart,
couldn't find anything.

You guys are good.

Good at what?

They're in the engine.

Am I right?

What's in the engine?

The drugs.

Who said anything about drugs, man?

- Where are my inhalers?
- Right, the inhalers.

They were confiscated.

Apparently, I needed a prescription.

You buy a prescription for 10 bucks
from the guy in the farmacia.

I ask you for one thing.

You know how much
a Ventolin costs here?

Shit.

What?

It's a camera.

Like Taxicab Confessions.

This was to see
how you did with the border cops.

We're gonna do post-game later.

You were recording me?

No, wait. You were recording me,
and there's no drugs?

The car was clean?

It kind of smells like pee.

So, what,
are you just fucking with me?

This is bullshit.

You think those guys
who flew into the towers...

...that was their first time
on an airplane?

It's practice.

Go home and think about
what you did wrong.

Tomorrow we review the tape.

Do I get paid for that too?

You're lucky you're getting half.

You lost my inhalers.

I think I'm starting to believe you.
