Call it in to dispatch.
Okay.
Mom, it's Tommy.
I... I've been in an accident.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry. Mom?
Mom?
- Yes. Yes. - A... are you okay?
You're staring at that tomato paste like it's gonna attack you.
No, I'm j... I'm just getting the paper plates and napkins.
- That's all. - Are you sure you're ready for this?
Look, we can just pretend it's a welcome home dinner and then...
no, no, no, Tommy. Now's the time.
Nora?
Where are you?
- Hey, Saul. - Tommy.
Hey, long time no see. Mwah. Hey. Wow. Good to see you.
You, too. So tell me, what is this all about?
- I have no idea, but it should be interesting. - Hey.
Surprise. Look who's here.
Yeah, I'm the, uh, mystery guest.
- Oh, God. It's good to see you. - Yeah, you, too. I love the hair.
Well, thanks. Thanks. It's my own.
- Oh, my... Tommy! - Hey.
- How are ya? - Hey. Oh, my God. You look so good.
Okay, what does everyone want to eat?
Uh, Thai? Chinese? Indian?
- Wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. - What?
You're ordering takeout?
- Tommy? - Oh, hey, bro. How are ya?
- Guys. I'm good. How are you? - Good, you know?
Oh, look at you. You look great.
So, um, what's... what's going on?
Well, uh, Tommy's here, mom's ordering takeout,
uh, so welcome to Bizarro world.
We just got in. I haven't had time to cook anything.
See? I knew she went somewhere.
- Shut up. - Look, Tommy had a few days off.
- I... I just flew up to see him. - And don't you worry.
I told her, next time she goes away, you have to tell someone.
Yeah, the only reason why we didn't think you were abducted
was because the thermostat was turned down.
Okay, Tommy, what's the occasion?
Are you engaged?
- Oh, let me guess... you've been arrested again? - You met someone?
You did? You did? You met someone?
- Kidding, kidding. - No, no, no, no. What's with the 20 questions?
Just stop, okay? He's here for a visit.
Let's not harass him.
Well, maybe if you told us why he was here, mom,
- instead of calling the mysterious emergency meeting... - Oh,
I swear this family has more meetings than the mob.
I'm gonna tell you everything,
-but let's decide what we wanna order first. -Uh, Thai.
-Thai, yeah. Thai, Thai, Thai, Thai, -Thai. So talk.
Okay. Okay. Um...
So as I think you all know, a company called Obstfeld
tried to buy Holly's shares of Ojai Foods.
But Holly refused to sell them, right?
That... that's right. She didn't sell.
Now they've come to us with an incredible offer
- to buy our shares... - What?
- And I was thinking... - It's... oh, whoa.
I'm sorry. You're seriously considering this?
Sarah, I know what Ojai means to you,
what it really means to this whole family.
But it's also been an albatross around our necks...
the financial difficulties, the family disputes.
Well, we've worked through those.
I'm just thinking that maybe we don't need this baggage anymore.
You all have your own lives. Maybe it's time.
- Cash in, move on. - I can't believe I'm hearing this.
A month ago, you were telling me
that Ojai was practically our family religion.
Sarah. They're offering us a lot of money.
So that's why you came down here,
to help mom lobby us to sell our shares?
- And you, too, Saul? - Sarah, honey, listen to me.
Think about it. You've always had to be the breadwinner.
But this... this would take the pressure off of you.
You could enjoy your kids and Luc.
And do what, mom, become a '50s housewife?
- This is my career. - You wouldn't have to juggle so much.
- I like to juggle. - Wait a second. Is this about Narrow Lake?
What's Narrow Lake?
- Nothing. - That's not what Holly says.
Holly says this is a piece of property
that's worth a lot of money, that apparently, Ojai owns.
- What? - Okay, how do I not know about this?
- Because it's nothing. - Well, obviously,
- it's not nothing, mom, if even Justin knows about it. - Whoa.
- Holly has been looking into this for a month... - What?
And there's nothing there. Nothing.
But this offer is real. I'm telling you, it's real.
Justin, you're in med school.
It's gonna be years before you can earn a living.
- Mm, thanks, mom. - Kevin, you want to be a father.
You've already spent a fortune,
you don't even have the baby yet.
Do you have any idea how much it costs to raise a child in L.A.?
- Guys, this is a great offer. - Oh, my God.
Mom, please stop spinning.
I mean, I'm a pundit. I can smell spin a mile away.
- I'm not spinning. I mean this. - But?
But nothing.
Nora. Nora, you're not telling them everything.
Okay, the only thing I haven't told you
is that Obstfeld, the company, is owned by a guy named Dennis York. That's all.
Dennis York?
- Who's that? - He used to work for dad.
Yeah. Wow. That's like calling a whore a date.
Oh, this guy was paid under the table to do God knows what.
Sarah, you're making him sound like he was a hit man.
Dennis York was a problem solver, okay?
If there were any union problems,
for example, your father would call him,
and... and they would be resolved.
So does this guy have anything on dad?
- Wait a minute, mom. Is he trying to blackmail you? - No!
Guys, I think you should just talk to Holly about Narrow Lake.
Is this another way of covering something dad did?
Well, what did dad do?
I have put the last five years of my life into Ojai...
yeah, but, Sarah, if there are bodies buried somewhere,
- I think it's t... - It's not about your campaign, Kitty.
Oh, I never said it was about my campaign,
Stop! There is no body buried!
No. Th-this is just an incredible opportunity for you guys,
and that's why I brought it to you,
so you could all have everything you want out of your lives.
Look, this is the kind of opportunity
that makes owning a family business worthwhile.
I'm... I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I... if I... if I shocked you.
That's why I thought we should order some food first.
Mom, I don't think food
would have made this go down any easier.
Well, then don't eat anything. Just don't eat anything.
You were absolutely right.
Bizarro.
I don't understand how your mom
could completely dismiss the possibility of Narrow Lake.
Because I was the one who said it.
I... I mean, when it comes to Ojai, I don't count.
And it started with my dad.
He never wanted me around that place.
- I'm just not a part of it. - Well, I am.
It's where I work, and it's my mom's company,
and I just gave her all of that money to invest in it.
Rebecca, she was just throwing it out there, all right?
It doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.
Yeah, you say that now, but you know your mom.
She's gonna pressure you into it.
- We're gonna be caught in the middle again. - No, we won't.
Rebecca, you come first.
You're what's important to me, not Ojai.
So whatever you want me to do, I'll do.
I don't want you to sell.
Then I won't.
And all this family stuff...
I mean, we've been through too much to let it matter.
I choose you.
I choose you, too.
Come here.
Wow. I feel like we just won the lottery.
Well, we don't know what the offer is yet.
- And I'm not even sure we should take it. - What?
Do the words "gift horse" mean anything to you?
Look, Scotty, Ojai's our family business, okay?
It's always been there. It's a like safety net,
- and I want that for our kids. - What kids?
Kevin, right now we have two frozen blasts and a lot of debt.
We're supposed to be positive, remember?
Okay, I'm so positive. I'm reading "the secret,"
and I'm putting good vibes into the universe.
But this is our last chance.
You know, if Monday's transfer doesn't work, that's it.
W... we're done. $100,000 down the tubes.
That's your version of staying positive?
I just want us to have kids so badly.
And if this doesn't take, we're gonna have to pay for a whole other round...
look, I would love the cash, okay,
but I'm not gonna sign anything until I know the facts.
And, you know, there's something wrong here.
Why would your mother try to cover it up?
I mean, you guys all know he wasn't exactly
the most upstanding businessman,
and, you know, besides, he's dead.
What if this is about Tommy?
I'm serious. What if he convinced mom
to sell the company so he could pay off his debts?
Not everything's Tommy's fault.
Well, I kn... you know what? I'm just not gonna be comfortable
- until we know the truth. - All right.
To a good transfer.
And an easy thaw.
Ooh, I'm gonna get your little feet.
Do you wanna play peekaboo?
Evan. Where is Evan?
Hey. Peekaboo.
Hey.
- How was dinner? - Oh, you have no idea.
I was so deluded growing up.
I thought my father was the best father in the whole entire world.
Now I have no idea what he did,
but I know that it was really bad,
because when I tell you that my mother is spinning like a top...
did you tell 'em about your appointment?
Honey, you were gonna tell them
about your first-look appointment with Dr. Avadon.
Yes, I just... I didn't get a chance. Tommy was there.
And then my mother drops this bombshell,
and she wants everybody to sell their Ojai shares.
Okay, look, I am not interested in Ojai right now.
I'm just thinking about you and this appointment
- and that you're gonna be great. - Yeah.
- And Evan thinks so, too. - Yeah. Poor little guy.
He is so high on, uh, children's ibuprofen and teething gel,
that... that he doesn't know what's going on. Do you, baby?
Mm. No. He just knows he loves you.
I don't know, you know, I just keep thinking that...
This is what cancer survivors do.
You know, you go through your rounds of chemo,
you get a clean bill of health, and then you go back for a checkup.
You know, it's like... it's like going to the dentist.
- It doesn't mean that you have a cavity. - Exactly.
And I'm, uh,
I'm gonna sell my shares.
My... my mother wants that,
and I, you know, I think she's in some kind of trouble, so...
Hey, look, whatever's right.
Yeah.
Why should we just sit around?
Sarah.
Justin, what are you doing up?
Why is mama yelling?
Oh, mommy isn't yelling.
Mama's just talkin' really loudly.
Come on. Let's go upstairs and get you back in bed.
Oh, hey. It's me. Are you doing anything?
I couldn't hear what they were saying,
but mom was in the yard with Dennis and dad.
And... and then she was yelling. She was angry.
I've never seen her so angry.
I wish I knew what it was, but I don't.
Okay, but how is mom involved in this?
I don't know. I swear to God, I don't know.
But whatever it is, it freaked out mom so much,
she hopped a plane to Seattle.
Sarah, I don't know about you,
but I don't want to start digging up old bones.
So what, we just sell Ojai?
Look, I know that you think saving the company is saving the family,
but the family will be fine without it, probably better off.
You need to focus on your life, Sarah.
If mom is right, and there is an opportunity...
Hello, Nora.
They're not biting.
So what's the game plan?
I brought Tommy down. I just need more time.
- You have until next week. - Next week?
I'm losing patience.
I've already wasted enough time trying to buy Holly's shares.
Oh, Dennis, you know what?
I never trusted you.
I used to say to William,
"there's something off with that guy. He's dead in the eyes."
You know, I'm getting a little sick of this.
You insist on making me into this monster,
and we both know I was just following orders...
William's and yours.
Here.
Proof... copies of canceled checks.
Your signature's on every one.
There's nothing illegal about what we did.
I know.
But it's hardly what your children expect from you.
Get your kids to sign on the dotted line,
or I swear to God, Nora, I'm gonna destroy your family.
I have no choice.
Thanks.
So you're actually considering selling your shares?
I don't know, Holly.
I mean, if my family can make a lot of money on this now,
and I don't have to deal with the crap my father left me...
it's not your father's business any longer. It's ours.
Well, maybe I'm just not up for the challenge anymore.
If it's not the economy, it's some scandal
or... or secret that gets dredged up from the past,
like this Narrow Lake.
What's with that? Why didn't you come to me?
Because your mother asked me not to.
Why would she do that?
- She's convinced there's nothing there. - Nothing there?
I found a geological survey that your father did in '73
on this piece of property called Narrow Lake.
A month ago, Dennis York filed a "doing business as"
under the same name.
He did?
Yes. Obviously, this is complicated for you.
You've got a lot of family issues to consider.
But bottom line... this is business.
And you and I have been working our asses off
to save this place.
And God knows I need the money more than anyone.
My... my personal assets have been wiped out.
But God, Sarah, look around. Look at this place.
It's incredible.
And we could make this a great business again.
I mean, we have come this far.
What are you gonna do, huh, just give up?
Well, I wouldn't be giving it up.
I'd... I'd... I'd be moving on.
As long as you can live with that.
Hey.
Hi, honey.
Thank you for stopping by.
I... I wanted to talk to you after last night.
Uh, me, too.
Sarah, I... I want you to know
that this is... this is completely your decision.
Oh, good. I'm glad that you think so.
And I'm sorry how I acted last night.
This isn't easy for anyone.
I know how hard it would be for you to walk away.
Good. Because I thought about it, mom. I... I really did,
- and I talked to Tommy. - I know. He told me.
What he said made a lot of sense,
but then I just talked to Holly.
To Holly?
Well, she is my business partner, mom.
Well, I know she is, sweetheart, but Holly has her own agenda,
and I think maybe she would manipulate you in such a way
to service that agenda... that stupid Narrow Lake thing.
Yeah, but it's not... it's not really stupid, is it, mom?
There's some pretty compelling evidence
that there's something...
- Hey. - Hello.
Hey.
- Oh, are we talking about Ojai? - Yeah.
Evidently, our friend Holly is trying
- to convince your sister not to sell. - No mom.
I actually thought it through myself, very carefully.
I've just realized that I can't sell Ojai
until it's back to what it was.
Otherwise it's gonna feel like an enormous failure.
Is this about your pride now?
What am I supposed to say in a job interview, mom?
That I took my father's company, that I drove it into the ground
and then I walked away because somebody made me a nice offer
and it was the easiest thing to do?
You can't ask me to do that.
But this is a family business, honey.
It's a family business. Everybody has a vote.
What about you, Kitty?
You're being uncharacteristically quiet here.
Yeah, come on, Kitty. My career is on the line.
No, Sarah. That's not fair.
Please just let Kitty make her own decisions.
Okay, I... I think, you know,
coming from somebody who is less emotionally entangled in...
I'm not emotionally entangled, Kitty.
I'm co-president.
Okay. Okay, Sarah, all I am saying is that...
that you're on mom's side.
No, I'm not taking anybody's side, Sarah.
- It's not about sides. - Well,
I'm not selling, and I'm gonna make damn sure
that nobody else can either.
Kitty, you're not selling.
Stop it! God, Sarah, stop it.
Don't bully your sister.
God, when is the last time I ever asked you for anything?
Never. And I'm always there for you, whatever you want.
If you need me to babysit or carpool your kids
of make you a dinner or be a shoulder for you to cry on,
- I'm there. - Oh, so that's it? The bill's due now?
Instead of 13 bucks an hour, you want my career?
This isn't a career. It's a job. It's a job.
And I don't care what you say. You're smart. You're talented.
You could get a job anywhere.
Do you think I would ask you to do something like this
if I didn't need to?
My God, Sarah, I'm always there for you.
I come through for you every time, no questions asked.
And just this once, this one time,
why can't you do the same for me?
We got it. Let's go.
Is he stable?
Dennis?
Mom.
Get in the car, Tommy.
I said get in the car.
They, uh, they both just left.
They seem pretty upset.
Tommy, Sarah's not gonna do it.
Sarah's not gonna do it.
Mom... what is going on?
If this were just about dad,
you wouldn't be doing all this stuff.
Look, you brought me down here, mom. What?
What is it?
I met with York again last night.
He gave me these.
I know your father told you everything was all right.
Oh, my God.
But it wasn't all right.
Have you been paying off the family?
Yes.
No.
Mom, what, a-and you lied to me?
For 25 years, you lied?!
He... he's hurt?
How bad?
Mom?
How bad?!
He was paralyzed.
- He was paralyzed. - Oh, God.
Oh, God. It was an accident, Tommy.
- Mom... - Your father made a deal with the family.
He sent them money every month,
and then when he died... I continued to do it.
- No. - It was a very long time ago.
You were all just kids.
And at the time...
I thought we were doing the right thing.
What do you mean, she flipped out?
Okay, there are two kinds of flip outs, right?
There's the "oh, my God. You all aren't coming over
on Thanksgiving dinner?" Flip out,
and then there's the "oh, my God.
"My husband has been cheating on me
for the entire duration of my marriage" flip out.
And it was definitely the latter.
And all I said was that I didn't want to sell the company.
Yeah, and it's not even like I agreed with you.
Yeah, you made your feelings about that pretty clear, Kitty.
I don't think we should do anything
- until we know exactly what's going on. -Thank you.
What happens if dad actually did something really bad?
What if it's Tommy?
He's already broken the law once... that we know of.
Look, this is probably nothing, but I keep...
I keep going back to this memory I had.
Mom's yelling at York in the backyard.
Oh, my God. I remember that.
- It was the night that you got me drunk. - I got you drunk?
Yes, you did. You got me drunk.
Oh, my God. Sarah, don't you remember?
Sarah?!
What, Kitty? I'm right here.
Oh, hi.
Who is mom yelling at now?
It's, uh, dad and this guy Dennis.
Did he throw up on mom's sofa, too?
Oh. Here.
This will help settle your stomach.
Okay. Thanks.
Sarah.
Oh, Justin. What are you doing up?
Why is mama yelling?
Oh, mommy's not yelling.
That was the night that I vowed I would never drink again.
- Whew. - That lasted.
- Yeah. - Well, at least I don't drink wine coolers anymore.
What was mom yelling about?
I don't know.
I couldn't hear through the window.
Wait a minute.
That was the night that you had that big party at Ojai.
Oh, my God. I did.
- Yeah. - Was that when I was dating Patrick Shuman?
No. No, you definitely weren't dating him.
But he... he was there.
- I never got invited to anything. - Oh, no, you were there.
You turned up with Tommy and crashed my party.
We do, Patrick.
We lose Nicaragua, there goes central America.
Next thing you know, we got the soviets
positioning missiles in our backyard.
Okay, Kitty. He gets enough poli-sci lectures in school.
No, it's rad. I rarely meet other Republicans.
You're a Republican?
See? I told you I wasn't the only one.
* We were so in phase *
Here, Kitty.
Oh, I don't really drink.
Oh, stop being such a geek.
Oh, look what just walked in.
Hey, Sarah. Kit.
What are you doing here?
Oh, he's showing off his new car.
Ah, you're just jealous. Where's the keg?
Tommy, this is a college party.
Kitty's not in college.
Yeah, but she's a girl. At any party with college guys, high school girls are invited.
And all of my classes are A.P, which is basically college.
Well, this is basically where I work.
So as a responsible employee, I might have to call dad,
tell him his oldest daughter
is throwing a kegger at his office.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you bring Kevin?
Oh, hi, Sarah.
I love this song.
What are you doing here?
- I brought him. - Oh, cool. Thanks a lot.
I thought high school girls were always allowed.
Yeah, his I.Q. is very low.
It's hard for him to distinguish genders.
Oh, guys. This is, uh, this is Aaron.
- He's from Sharon. - Hey.
Oh, my God. That rhymes.
I'm just down here for the weekend.
- There's a state swim meet. - Yeah,
yeah. He's one of the best divers in Cali.
Oh, my God. What did Kitty do to her hair?
I love it!
Oh, my God, Kevin. Remember that boy that you brought?
Who, Aaron?
Yeah. Yeah, well, I used to see him at swim meets.
He lived up north.
Yeah, you were totally into him, weren't you?
Wouldn't have mattered. I wasn't out then.
Oh, you never fooled around? Not even a little bit?
Actually, we had a fight that night.
What about?
I don't remember. That was 25 years ago.
We were drinking wine coolers.
Well, I thought he was very cute.
- You thought everyone was cute that night, didn't you? - Oh, I did not.
I'm just gonna ask you this one time, Kitty.
Did you sleep with Patrick Shuman?
- No, I didn't... - 'Cause you know he was my boyfriend.
No, Sarah,
I was a virgin, and you never told me he was your boyfriend.
I bet the only reason you didn't was because the party busted up.
- Wait. What... what happened? Did the police come? - No.
It was Tommy.
Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! No body parts on the copier.
Yo, Sarah. Your brother's on the phone.
Patrick!
Uh, hello. You what?
Are you okay?
Why did you do that?
Okay. Okay, okay.
- What happened? - Uh, Tommy's been in an accident.
He's on his way to the hospital.
Oh, was he hurt badly?
I don't know. He's with the paramedics.
But he told dad that we're hanging out here.
We have to clean up this party right now. Dad's on the way.
That's right. He totaled his brand-new car
and he ruined the party. It's so Tommy.
- Oh, my God. - What?
I remember this now.
- Okay, don't freak out. - What?
He wasn't the only one in the car.
Where you going?
To get more beer.
- Tommy, you're drunk. - I had two drinks.
And the liquor store is, like, three blocks away.
That's what the kids in the film at school always say
just before they drive into a semi.
You are such a pain.
You're like an ad for M.A.D.D.
See? Tommy, you're drunk.
You're rhyming and you don't even realize it.
Look, you need to stop worrying about me, Kevin,
and start worrying about yourself.
Okay? I mean, look at you. You have no friends.
And the only reason Aaron's hanging out with you
is because he's from a different high school.
He's from a different city.
Look...
Kev... I'm sorry.
I'll pick you up some grape Hubba Bubba and...
Hey, I told you I'd take you to see "Platoon" this weekend,
and I will.
Hey.
Um, I'd... I'd rather see "Top Gun" again.
Okay. "Top Gun" it is.
Hey.
And Tommy was drunk? You're sure?
Yeah, I'm absolutely sure.
Well, who was the other kid in the car?
I don't know. Tommy had tons of friends.
Okay, l... listen,
let's just step back from the edge here for a second.
Are we honestly thinking that Tommy...
- Oh, God. It's him. - What do we do?
Uh, we just act casual.
Hey, Kev. Scotty said you'd be here.
Uh, yeah. Actually, we were just talking about you.
Yeah. Just, you know, old times.
Reminiscing.
Actually, Tommy, you know, um...
We figured out, that... that memory I told you about, with mom yelling?
Turns out that that was the same night
that I threw the party at Ojai.
What party?
You, um, you had just gotten your first car.
So? That was 25 years ago.
Who cares?
Well, if I remember, you actually totaled that car that night.
I can't believe this.
Tommy, we're just trying to figure out this whole York thing.
Yeah, right. You think I did something, don't you?
There was another kid in the car with you that night, right?
Kevin... do not blame me for this.
Oh, Tommy. Nobody's trying to blame you.
We're really... we're just trying
- to figure it out. - You guys, I'm warning you.
- Just drop it. Okay? - Tommy...
What? I'm outta here.
Tommy. I'm not talking about this, Kevin.
Who was in the car? Did you hurt him?
Oh, unbelievable.
Is mom covering for you? Is that what this is all about?
York's found out, now mom's covering for you?
Why is it the first thing you want to do is blame me?
I'm trying to help you, but I can't do that
- unless I know the truth. - Oh,
you think you have the whole thing figured out,
- don't you, Kevin? - Tommy,
I was th... I... I begged you not to get in that car.
Please, just please, let me help you.
You know what? ! You're on your own.
You always do that.
You always run away from your problems.
You know what? You can't do it forever.
One day, you're gonna have to face yourself
and you'll be alone when you do.
- Hey. - Hey.
Are you looking for the kappa house
or are you just gonna go ahead and roll on into first period?
How's Evan?
He's good. He's with Mary at the park.
What... what happened last night?
Oh, my God, Robert. It's so bad.
Tommy apparently was in a car accident
when he was, like, 16 years old,
and we think that he hurt somebody or worse, and...
we're starting to think that that's what York has on mom.
And... and now Saul has called us back to the house
for this... this big... Kitty,
Kitty, listen, I know about the accident.
What?
Well, yeah. I know about the accident
like I know that Kevin was late on his '02 taxes
and that Sarah had a housekeeper for a summer that wasn't a citizen.
Oh, my God. Of course. You ran for president, so...
yeah, I mean, they vetted my seventh grade math teacher.
Okay.
So tell me what you know.
I'm sorry to have you all come over here again.
Well, it's not like we've been thinking about much else.
Um, I have to meet Scotty soon,
so can you say what you want to say?
I know it's hard, what your mother's asking us to do.
I've been at Ojai longer than any of you.
So you want to sell?
Sarah, please let him finish.
Well, it doesn't make sense, mom.
- It makes all the sense in the world, Kevin. - Why?
All I need to know is that she wants to do it.
I don't give a damn why.
Your father was involved in a lot of things.
And if she wants to clear his name,
whatever is left of it,
why won't you let her?
I don't think it's his name she's trying to save.
Mom, I love you more than anything in the world,
- but you gotta tell us what the hell is going on. - Yeah.
Mom, Sarah's right.
It's over, mom. I can't keep doing this.
You... you... you have to tell him the truth.
I'm... I'm sorry. "Him"?
Who do you have to tell the truth to?
It's Kitty. Yeah.
Robert knows all about Tommy's accident.
It was nothing. Nobody was seriously hurt.
What are you talking about?
Well, our whole family was investigated
when Robert ran for president,
and the kid who was in the car with Tommy,
he's a teacher up in Santa Cruz now.
He's fine. Tommy wasn't the one who did anything.
Hello?
Kevin?
It wasn't Tommy that hurt a boy that night, was it?
No.
Uh... where did everybody go?
I don't know,
but it looks like they left in a hurry.
Yeah, it must have happened fast,
'cause we weren't in the warehouse that long.
Yeah, we kinda were.
Oh, God. Look, I'm so sorry.
I mean, I probably didn't have to show you
how they package every kind of produce.
No, it was cool.
Yeah, uh, but... you know,
what... what... what about a ride home?
How... how are we gonna get there?
I don't know, but I'm not in any rush.
And hey, we even got refreshments.
Yeah.
It's nice out here.
Yeah.
Did I hear something?
I think everybody left.
It's okay.
I didn't hear a thing.
What the hell was that?
Kevin! Get in the car.
Dad... I, uh...
Get in the car now!
I didn't... didn't mean to.
I didn't mean to.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Kev.
I thought you might be here.
Why?
I asked you a question. How'd you know I was here?
Just go talk to mom.
This is about Aaron, isn't it?
Look, let me just take you home, you can talk to mom...
no, because you're here and you know something.
There was a fight, right?
Yeah, and dad told me he was fine.
So why don't you tell me what happened?
Look, all I know is, after my accident, I called mom.
- Yeah. - Dad picked up the phone.
I told him we were at Ojai hanging out.
I guess he must have come down here
to see what was going on.
And then when I was leaving the hospital...
I saw Aaron.
He was on a... a gurney.
They were rushing him in.
And Dennis York was there, too.
Tommy, if you know what happened to Aaron,
you have to tell me now.
He was paralyzed.
- Oh, my God. - I'm sorry.
You... you knew all this time?
No, no, no, no, no. Mom just told me.
I mean, that night, they... they said he was fine.
I swear. I thought that was the truth.
Kevin...
Kevin, this is not your fault.
It's okay.
No, Tommy, this is not okay.
This is not okay.
I can't just stand here and do nothing.
I don't know what to say, mom.
I wanted to protect him.
I thought of him differently than I thought of you.
Hello.
Yeah.
I... I told him, mom.
I had to.
Okay.
What have I done?
It was an accident.
He was a swimmer.
Did you know that?
You didn't mean to hurt him.
What did dad tell you he saw that night?
A fight. Just... just a fight.
Two... teenage kids stupidly swinging at each other,
and then Aaron stumbled off the platform.
That's all he saw, us fighting?
Yes. When he got home, he told me your friend had been hurt.
He'd fallen off the platform.
He... he didn't know how badly at first.
He told me he called York,
and it was York that went with Aaron to the hospital.
Why did you tell me he was fine when he wasn't?
I... I wanted to protect you.
You were a sweet, insecure 14-year-old boy.
I w... I was afraid that it would destroy you. And I...
I'm a 38-year-old man.
I know.
There was never a right time.
You were struggling to come out,
- and then law school... - Law school?
When was the right time for me to tell you?
And the longer I waited, the harder it got.
Did dad pay them off?
Yes.
But the family agreed.
No one... was pressured...
I didn't know, mom!
I didn't know.
I know.
I wanted to protect you.
I thought that's what parents were supposed to do.
I don't need protecting.
Everything you've said, it's all about you...
what you wanted to do, how you felt,
how you were gonna protect me.
You were only protecting yourself.
Kevin.
Do not follow me!
Okay.
Come on, Tommy. Let me sign your cast.
Don't let her do it, man.
She's gonna write "Reagan rocks."
I don't care what it says. Nobody's gonna see it anyway.
I'm grounded forever.
Well, it serves you right.
I guess that means no "Top Gun," right?
You, too.
Hey. You guys both totally ruined that party.
Why do you always hit me?
Mom.
Is... is everything okay?
I remember when they all got home that night.
Kevin asked me if everything was gonna be okay.
God, I wish it had been.
Oh, William... damn you.
If you hadn't bought that lake,
none of them would've found out about any of this.
Now I don't know if he'll ever forgive me...
If any of them will.
And I don't know why I'm standing here talking to you.
I hate you, William.
I hate how much you hurt this family.
But I'm gonna repair this
if it's the last thing I ever do.
And then I am never coming back here again.
After all the things we found out about dad,
the one thing that I always knew I could count on was mom.
Now I'm not so sure.
Are you okay?
Uh, no. No. Actually, I'm not.
I... I have to go in for my first look on Monday.
Oh, God. Do you?
Uh, yeah, I do.
Your cancer's not coming back, Kitty. I promise.
Oh, you know what, Sarah? Please don't say that.
I mean, you can't promise me anything.
You don't know anything. Nobody can promise me anything.
And... and I just... I hate it when people say that.
You're right.
And I'm sorry. I'm...
I don't know. I'm just, um, I'm...
I'm scared.
Kitty, you're right. I can't promise you anything,
except this one thing...
that I will always be there for you.
Good. Good.
'Cause you need to, uh, finish the dishes.
Mm.
Nora, we need to talk.
Call me. Ugh.
Hey. Hey.
Where is your mom, and what the
- hell is going on with her? - You're asking the wrong guy.
I am literally the last person to know anything in my family.
- Mom, Justin's not gonna sell. - Well, good. That's great.
But what about your mom and Kevin and everybody else?
Can you talk some sense into them?
Uh, no. No, I can't.
With all due respect, I'm not them.
They... they make their own decisions.
So just see me as me, just like I see you...
the mother of the woman I love. Wow.
I didn't pay him to say that.
- Um, you're right, Justin. I'm sorry. - Oh, it's fine.
Hey, has this painting always been here?
Actually, it used to be in your father's office.
- Oh, that's why it looks so familiar. - Yeah, my mom painted it.
It's this place that William used to take me...
up the 5, a little cabin by the lake.
A cabin by the lake?
Mom, a lake.
Oh, my God.
So anything?
- Well, the land in question was owned by a William. - Walker?
Hearst. William Randolph Hearst.
Oh. They donated it to the state of California a few years ago.
So basically it's... a dead end.
It's just a beautiful lake. That's all.
Mom, I'm so sorry. Oh, it's okay, sweetheart.
- Don't give up. - I won't. Thank you. Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
I mean, what... what if she's doing all of this for nothing?
What if it doesn't lead anywhere?
Where will she be then?
What?
What were you just thinking?
Maybe we should do it.
Get married, right here, right now.
Justin, don't joke about that.
- You know... you know I would. - I'm not joking. I promise.
Rebecca, you asked me to marry you in Mexico,
right here, right now, just us,
and I said no because my family wasn't there.
You are my family.
It's not about them. It's about us.
So let's walk in there and say "I do."
- Okay. - Okay?
Yeah. You wanna? Let's go.
Justin, repeat after me.
I, Justin, take you, Rebecca,
to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
I, Justin, take you, Rebecca, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
I, Rebecca, take you, Justin, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
Do you promise to love one another
in sickness and in health,
in prosperity and adversity...
I do.
Then by the virtue of the authority vested in me,
I pronounce you married under the laws of the state of California.
Okay, why are you telling me about something that happened 20 years ago?
Because, Scotty, there was a fight.
Apparently, Kevin hit Aaron...
Okay, will someone please just tell me what's going on?
Scotty, Scotty, Aaron fell. He was paralyzed.
Kevin found out today.
Oh, my God. That's why he wasn't there.
Uh, we had our, um, second implantation today.
- Oh, God. Oh. - I... I waited with Michelle for two hours.
I kept telling the doctor, "he'll be here.
Just give him ten more minutes."
- I mean, he didn't even call. Do you know where he is now? - No.
No. We have no idea. That's why we came here.
I want to sell Ojai.
- What are you talking about? - The secret is out, Sarah.
- York has no leverage. - It's not about York, Saul.
It's about Kevin. It's about this family.
We've just... we're paying too high a price.
I don't want anything else to do with dad, his secrets...
- Sarah, that's ridiculous. You're just... - Saul, she's right.
Enough with protecting this... this legacy.
Let's just be free of it.
Oh. Oh, my God. Are you okay?
What...
What the hell is this?
- Why are you even here? - We... we couldn't find you.
And Scotty didn't know about Aaron.
So we... we filled him in.
Oh, really? Did you tell him how dad covered it all up
by paying the family for years, and when he died, mom took over?
- Did you tell him that? - Oh, come on,
Kevin. She was in a terrible position.
- What would you have her do? - Please, please, do not do that, Saul.
Because she is as bad as my father.
Actually, she's worse. She pretended to be above it.
What have I done?
Kevin, it is not your fault.
I ruined his life, Scotty. He was a kid.
Oh, my God. The implantation.
- I am so sorry. - It... it's okay.
- It's not okay. I'm... - Yes, it is. I went through with it.
You did?
We had to. We would've lost the embryos.
Kevin. Kevin, wait.
Kevin. Kev...
look, look, I'm, uh, I'm really sorry.
I thought coming home would help,
but I actually can't breathe. I just need some air.
I just need some air. I'll call you. I'm fine.
Don't you get it?
That lake, what... whatever it is,
is the key to getting your family back.
Holly, you know what? You are one of
the most insensitive people I have ever met.
I'm not being insensitive. I know what happened to Kevin,
and if you want your children back...
well, thank you so much for stopping by,
- but I have to tell you, I... - Then don't let them sell Ojai Foods!
I know better than anyone that Ojai is a family business.
And once their anger fades,
they are going to regret letting it go.
Sarah and Tommy, they grew up there.
And you've seen how much
they have thrown themselves into that place.
Holly, I really can't tell them what to do right now.
Oh.
I've made enough mistakes as it is.
So what if you've made mistakes?
Every single mother in the history of mankind
- has made mistakes. - Well, you oughta know.
Look, I did what I thought was best for Rebecca.
That's what you did with Kevin.
We were just protecting our kids.
So don't stop protecting them now.
Yes.
It's the lake.
Mm-hmm.
We have to find the lake.
I've got a plan.
Repeating the same thing slower and softer is just condescending.
Well, if you don't have the authority
to change the reservation,
put your manager on, and I'll hold.
Okay. Hey, Mrs. Walker.
- Hey. Ooh, I like the sound of that. - Oh, you do?
Mm. Can you hold on one second? Thank you.
Babe, do you see the, uh, "press your own penny" there thing?
Can you... can you get me one?
You want a flattened penny?
- I like tchotchkes. - Or are you just trying to get rid of me
because you don't want me to hear what you're planning?
Well, can't a man surprise his wife, for God sakes?
Hey. Okay, look, I'm sorry. I know the house was rented.
But I just got married, and we eloped,
and I wasn't able to plan a honeymoon.
I mean, I... I really want to make this special.
My name is Justin Walker, and...
Yeah. Yeah, Nora and William's youngest.
Uh, everybody's good.
So is there anything you can do?
Oh. Thank you. Thank you so much.
I... I'll call you back. I'll call you back. Thank you.
Honeymoon is all set.
- It is? - Yes.
- Here's your souvenir. - Thank you.
Uh, and you know what else they have here?
- What? - They have the best date shakes in all of California.
Milkshakes for breakfast?
I knew I married you for a reason.
- Mr. Burnett? Right this way. - Oh, thank you.
Hey. How'd it go?
- Did Kevin call? - No. No, not yet. You okay?
I'm fine. Let's just get outta here.
Wait. W... wait a minute. Wait a minute.
This is your first look to find out...
You know, what's going on with the cancer.
I want to know what's going on.
Oh, God. It was fine.
I had a C.T. I had my blood drawn.
It's just... I don't know. It's just being back here is...
you remember that girl, the girl with all the piercings?
Yeah.
Well, she's back.
And she's having another round of chemo.
I mean, that's the thing, right?
I mean, it's a crapshoot. You either get lucky or you don't.
Well, whatever happens, we're gonna go through it together.
Oh, it's Kevin.
Yeah.
- Hey, Kev, hi. - Kit, you have to do me a favor.
Call Scotty. Tell him I'm okay.
I'm just not ready to talk yet.
Sure, but, Kevin, what... what's going on?
Kevin, it's me.
I'm outside Aaron's house.
I have to face him, kit.
We have to talk about what I did.
Kevin, I don't understand. What...
what are you talking about, what you did?
I'm gonna go, all right? But I love you.
What happened to you?
You... disappeared.
Kitty, um...
Can I tell you something?
And you have to promise
you won't say anything to anybody.
Of course.
I'm so drunk, I probably won't remember anything anyway.
All right.
Um, you know that kid that I was with tonight, um, Aaron?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. He thought I liked him.
So?
I mean,"liked him" liked him.
Oh.
Do you?
No. No.
No.
I... I don't... I don't know.
Maybe.
I mean, I haven't seen him in, like, a year.
And I've been... I've been thinking about him a lot.
And, um... tonight, when we were alone,
before dad came...
I, uh...
I did the stupidest thing.
What?
Oh, God. I'm gay, aren't I?
I am. I am. I'm totally gay.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
Kitty, I mean, mom would have a breakdown.
And dad?
Dad would kill me.
I wouldn't care.
You wouldn't?
I mean... aren't you a Republican?
But I'm your sister first.
I'll always love you, no matter what.
Hey.
Can I help you?
Aaron?
Yeah.
I'm Kevin Walker.
Thank you for seeing me.
I've been in my car the past few hours
trying to find the courage to come in here.
I'm not sure what you think this is gonna accomplish.
You sure waited a long time to stop by.
Aaron, I am so sorry.
I... I... I didn't know what had happened to you until last night.
Um, this might sound crazy.
My parents told me that you were fine.
Obviously, if... if I'd known...
Listen... I... I'm sure you must be feeling a lot of things right now,
but, uh, that night, I don't dwell on it.
I... I have worked long and hard
to make sure that it didn't define me,
and quite frankly, I'd like to keep it that way.
Of course. Uh, absolutely.
And... and I'm not trying to make this about me.
Then why are you here?
I'm gay, and I needed you to know that.
I knew you were gay.
Why do you think I tried to kiss you?
And... and I wanted to,
believe me, so badly.
But I was... I was so scared of the way I was feeling...
instead...
You hit me.
Look...
I had a lot of rage about what happened,
and I'm not gonna pretend it wasn't directed at you.
But not anymore.
I moved on.
I have a partner now. We have a life.
What happened... happened.
That two boys couldn't share a kiss and feel all the normal things
you're supposed to feel at that age, that wasn't your fault.
You were just acting the way the world wanted you to.
I made peace with that.
And you need to do the same.
But not here...
Not with me.
Oh, my God. This is beautiful.
Well, look, I know it's not the four seasons,
- but what do you think? - I love it.
Where did you find this place?
Well, remember the Ojai house my family used to own?
This is the Ojai house? Oh, my God.
I can't believe it. I've heard so many stories.
Well, look, the people who bought it,
they rent it out now, so I was able to talk the landlord
into giving it to us.
Anyway, more than anyplace else,
this is the place I remember being the happiest.
I love that you brought me here.
Oh.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What?
We're in! We're in.
Okay, target on the move.
Holly, I... I just really don't know that I can do this.
What? Of course you can. Just keep him talking.
Well, what if I can't?
Don't chicken out on me now. You're Louise, remember?
I thought you wanted to be Louise?
You said she had street smarts.
Fine. Fine. Then be Thelma.
Just keep him in his chair until you get a text from me.
- All right. Just be quick about it. - I will.
Excuse me.
Are you gonna be much longer? I just need to change.
I'm just leaving.
Oh, great.
Would you like turndown service later?
Absolutely. Thank you.
Hi.
Thanks for seeing me.
Ah, I wish this wasn't such a contentious deal.
It never felt like a deal. It felt like an ambush.
If you came down here to vent...
No, I didn't. I... I didn't. I'm sorry.
I came down for this.
This is an agreement guaranteeing
that if the sale of Ojai goes through, you won't let
any of the employees go for at least a year.
And I thought that you and I should go through this together.
- Won't be necessary. - There... y... look, I... I...
Honestly, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding...
Look, I have no intention of firing anyone.
As a matter of fact, I hope to be hiring soon.
Hiring?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, come on, Dennis. You won.
Give me a hint.
What makes Ojai Foods so valuable?
Nice try.
If you don't mind, I really should get back to my room
- and make a few calls. - Dennis, Dennis...
What happened to you?
You used to be so sweet.
Yeah.
That was before William ended up with
pretty much everything I ever wanted...
the business, you.
I think it made me crazy.
Oh. Mm.
Have you ever wondered, um...
If you made the right decision,
staying with William?
You know...
It could've been you and me, Nora.
I don't know. Sure.
I... I... I wondered.
Sorry. I have to go.
Wish I could stay. Kind of an emergency.
Listen, could you at least answer my question?
Right.
Dennis...
The thing about William,
he never wanted to openly hurt anyone.
That's why he hid everything.
You, on the other hand, take pleasure in it.
Did I ever wish I had left William for you?
No. Not for a second.
- I completely struck out. - You didn't find anything?
No, no, all I found is a bunch of receipts.
- I don't know what they're for. - Wait a minute. What's this?
- It's a valet ticket. - Bingo.
- Bingo? - Could we have our car right away?
- We're trying to get to the movies. - Sure.
- We don't want to be late. - What are you doing?
Well, isn't it obvious?
You didn't find anything in his room.
He doesn't have an office.
He must keep everything in his car.
So, what, you're gonna take his car?
- We're gonna look in his car. You started this, Holly. - Oh, my...
- Here he is. Come on. - I've created a monster.
Nora, think before you act.
Come on. Look in the car, Holly.
- Thank you so much. - My pleasure.
Look. He has one of those navigational GPS systems.
That means if he's been to Narrow Lake, maybe it will be logged in.
- Okay, that's good, that's good. - Just look on that part of the car Holly, look under the seat.
- That's him. - Ok, get out of the car.
- Get on the car! - Get out of the car!! - Get on the car!
Get in the car, get in the car!
Get in the car.
Look, he stopped at every hot dog stand,
greasy spoon and hamburger joint in Ojai valley.
And we're not closer to finding Narrow Lake.
* Let's go, let's go.... *
The only destination that he flied are the one where there's a good food.
- * Narrow Lake...* - Would you please stop singing, you're driving me crazy.
I'm trying to remember the rest of this song,
it's William's song about Narrow Lake, I can't remember it.
Well, obvisouly you didn't exaggerate about the shakes, they're very good.
Hmm, yeah, they're great. We always used to stop here on our way to the old Ojai house.
All the kids have had a day shake.
- We gotta go. There's a lot more in the GPS. - * Let's go out tonight... *
Come on Nora let's go. Put some pep in your step.
What?
- What did you say? - Put some pep in your step.
Pep... the pepper... put the pepper in your stepper...
with a pepper in your stepper and a glint in your eye
we'll follow the dream into our future you and I. That's it.
- That's it. - That's the song William used to sing?
That's awful.
With the pepper.... the pepper.... with a pepper in your stepper. What the hell does that mean?
It means he had too much to drink.
Oh, Holly, tell me again, when was it that Williamn bought Narrow Lake?
Summer of '73.
'73. 1973. The summer of 1973
I had four kids, all under the age of six
- William worked all the time... - Did he ever take a business trip, and you didn't know where he was going?
Come on Holly, William took an excessive amount of business trips, I just chose to ignore them.
But did he say he was going to buy land?
No, I don't know. I don't remember.
No, he....
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
There was this one time...
and I remember Holly, because...
the night before he took me to this party, somewhere in Malibu,
and he spent the entire time, flirting with this lady blonde and I had to stay in the corner and chat with his business associates about products all night...
When did he say he was going to buy land? Cause it might have been Narrow Lake.
Come on. He's hanging all over this blonde.
Next morning, he says he has to go look for land.
No, no.
He spent the entire weekend in bed with the blonde.
You don't know that.
If I've learned anything, I've learned that.
Unless you have proof to the contrary.
Oh. Well, Nora...
I think we should talk a... a...
Oh, it's Robert.
No, no, don't answer it.
But it might be about Kevin. I have to answer this.
Oh, God.
She spoke to Kevin. He's fine.
Oh thank God.
What's that?
Um, nothing. It was the TV.
Nora, where are you?
Don't say anything.
Um, I'm... I'm taking a little road trip.
Right now, while your family's in the middle of a crisis?
- Well, I'm upset. - Stop it!
I gotta go.
Nora, something is going on. You are a horrible liar.
All right. Fine.
I'm looking for Narrow Lake with Holly.
We just stole Dennis York's car.
No! It was unintentional, and I'll get it back to him.
I just don't want it to hurt Kitty's campaign.
You should've thought of that before you stole a car!
- Hindsight is 20... - Give me the phone.
All right, look, I'm sure that this is Holly's fault...
I had nothing to do with this.
Hi, Holly. Where are you?
You're driving around on freeways?!
Well, we can't take the surface streets to Ojai.
Look, I know that Nora is nutty enough
to do something like this, but you?
Hi, Robert. This is Nutty Nora.
Okay, could I just have one conversation at a time?
Did York see you take the car?
No.
Well, maybe. Okay. Yeah, I think he did.
You cannot be driving around in a stolen car.
We're not gonna be driving around in a stolen car.
All right? We're gonna... we're gonna pull over someplace
and we're gonna figure all of this out.
We're... and I know the perfect place.
Oh, God, I'm so lucky.
Yes, you are.
Mm. Oh, I love you so much.
I love you, too.
- Hello. - Hello.
What...
What the hell? Why?
- The... the door was unlocked. - We're so sorry.
- What the hell is going on? - We were in the area.
Yeah, we were looking for Narrow Lake,
and we needed a... to stop for a while.
I called the real estate office.
- They said you were here. - Yeah.
What is that all they said?
Should there have been something else?
- No. - No, no, no.
- Gosh, we're sorry to interrupt your romantic little weekend. - We'll just go...
- we're gonna go into the kitchen. - Great idea.
Take your time..
Thank you for that, ma. That's... that's really sweet.
- I hate them... so much. - I hate them.
You know, I think it's really amazing
that you talked to Aaron today.
But he's right.
This is something I have to... deal with alone.
I just don't know how.
You know, Kev, I had to go to the hospital this morning.
They gave me a test to see if my cancer came back.
Are you having any symptoms?
No, no. It's just a standard procedure.
Uh, I'm still waiting for the results.
But the... the point is,
is I don't know whether they're gonna be good or bad.
And if they're good, I suppose that means
that somebody else is gonna get a call
saying that their cancer is back.
It's not the same.
You... you didn't cause that.
Well... that's true.
But what happened to Aaron was an accident, too.
Why he fell the way he did and why you didn't, it...
Kev...
There's no answer to it.
Is Kevin okay?
Yeah. Well, I don't know.
He's with Kitty. He won't talk to me.
Well, mom, you know,
I did a lot worse than lying when I was using,
and you all forgave me.
He's... gonna forgive you. It's just gonna take time.
Are you expecting someone?
Hello.
I rented this place. What are you doing here?
Looking for her. Mom, have you lost your mind?
I know this looks bad.
Bad? Robert just called me to say that you've stolen a car.
What, you stole that car?
I was gonna tell you about that.
Mom, whatever you're doing, stop.
Oh, my God. There are more of you.
I told you not to tell Robert anything.
What else did you tell her not to say?
- Is she responsible for this? - No.
It was my idea to steal the car.
Look, Sarah. We're trying to find Narrow Lake.
That makes perfect sense.
You're driving around in a stolen car
looking for a lake that you don't think exists.
Why don't you let her explain?
Because she's not making any sense.
Sarah, I know it sounds crazy...
yeah, it does, mom, but I don't want to hear it.
I promised Robert that I would tell you to return the car.
So return the damn car. Tommy, are you coming?
Sarah!
Please. Please don't just leave.
After what just happened, it's a little hard
to get excited about a lake, mom.
I'm so sorry. I made a lot of mistakes.
I'm not a perfect person. I'm sorry.
Well, it's a little late for apologies.
Look, sell Ojai or don't sell Ojai.
I don't care. But Holly and I need more time.
I have to find Narrow Lake.
- Okay, you know what, guys? - Stop it.
Has it even occurred to you why Rebecca and I are here?
- Did something else happen? - Yeah, we got married.
What? Oh, my goodness.
When?
At the court house. We eloped. This is our honeymoon.
I... I... I stupidly thought this would be the perfect place
to come celebrate our marriage. Okay? So figure it out.
Who the hell is that?
I'm looking for Nora Walker.
And Holly...
Harper?
You're both under arrest.
I can't really blame them, eloping.
I suppose so, but I missed my only daughter's wedding.
Well, when we get out of here,
we'll throw them a great big party.
Yeah. We'll have to celebrate.
- Holly. - Hmm?
Thanks.
"Thanks"?
We were just booked for grand theft auto.
Yes, I know. Well, that's my fault.
But I don't know. Maybe they're right what they say.
Sometimes, it's about the journey,
and the journey today...
Well, if I didn't know better,
I would think we were almost friends.
What?
Well, I should've told you about this this morning,
but our history is so complicated,
and I didn't want to rock the boat.
Oh, God. Should I brace myself?
You know that leggy blonde that you saw William
flirting with at the party in '73?
That was me.
You?
Yeah, that was the first night I met him.
Holly, forget about it.
Forget about it. I don't care.
I am so over this, I can't begin to tell you.
Honestly. I knew he was a womanizer.
I just wanted to keep what we had, our family,
and... ugh, who cares?
I know you think that he slept with that leggy blonde...
you. Me... that weekend.
And you want it proved to the contrary.
Well, I've got it.
It was more than a month before we had sex.
I really wouldn't push it if I were you.
I know, I know, I know.
But what I'm saying is, he wasn't with me,
so maybe he was really looking for land like he said.
Oh, my God.
You mean, maybe he was telling me the truth for once?
- Maybe he was out looking for land? - It's possible.
- But that doesn't give me... - Check-out time, ladies.
- Oh. Oh, Robert. - Hi!
Y... you know what? Hang on just one second. This is too good.
Oh, no! No! No!
Oh, it's mom.
I'm not here.
Hi, mom.
Uh, yeah, yeah, he's here.
He's, uh, he's doing okay.
What?
You're kidding me.
Well, y... well, yeah, of cour...
Well, yeah. Yes, mom. I... I said that I would tell him.
But you need to let me get off the phone.
What?
Well, you're never gonna believe this.
Our baby brother got married.
You're right. I don't believe it.
It's true. And they're... they're all up at the old house in Ojai.
- And they're having a dinner. - Oh, no.
- Unh-unh. Kev, Kev, you gotta go. - No.
Oh, yes, Kevin. We have to go.
Your brother got married.
Kevin.
Hey.
You all right?
No, but, um, I'm here. So...
Look, I'm really sorry about what happened.
You don't need to apologize. All right?
I should've pushed dad for some more answers.
Well, we were kids. We just did what we were told.
But I don't want you guys to sell the company because of me.
- We'll talk about it later. - Okay.
Is that Scotty?
Yeah.
I'm... I'm glad you're here.
Well, I'm here because of Justin and Rebecca.
Rebecca, I always wanted the perfect wedding for you...
the flowers, the music and the dress.
And you'd think that I would be a little upset
about not being invited to my only child's wedding.
But, sweetie, I have never seen you happier.
And, Justin, I want to thank you
for taking such good care of my little girl.
Every time I see you looking at her
as if she is the center of your world,
I am so happy that you're gonna be part of our family.
Thank you.
Oh, and, Rebecca, I talked to you father, and he told me to tell you
that you're gonna have to do this all over again,
cheers.
Okay, Justin.
You really are an amazing little brother.
We can always count on you for compassion and kindness.
And you're also a handful. Come on. Let's face it.
You've made more than your fair share of mistakes.
But you always come back to what matters...
Love...
And family.
Cheers.
Uh, a special cheers to the senator
for bailing out our mothers out of jail.
Oh, hear, hear!
And I have photos.
Yes. I'll delete them for the campaign,
- but how about that, huh? - Oh!
Oh, stop!
That is awful. I hate you.
I... ugh!
Oh, my God.
Hello?
Oh, hi, Dr. Avadon.
Who is ready for some cake?
Me. Me.
Um, actually, I'd... I'd like to say something first.
I guess if there's one thing I've learned recently
it's, uh, nothing makes sense in this world.
It's a mystery to me how anything happens.
But it's what we do about it that counts.
How you both met... that was fate.
But that doesn't mean it was easy,
and a lot of things came between you and your love.
But you showed faith in each other and in the future,
and that's what I'd like to toast.
To trusting that the end is worth it
and never letting go of its promise.
Cheers.
- Cheers. - Thank you, Kevin. Cheers.
Kitty, what's wrong?
Nothing.
Nothing. I just... that was, um...
that was really beautiful, Kev.
Kitty, what's going on?
Well, I, uh, I just, um...
I just got my results from my first look cancer checkup.
And I'm cancer-free.
I'm in remission.
I shall be released
Mmm. Mom.
I swear, you could make cake stranded on a deserted island.
You're, like, the MacGyver of food.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
Oh, honey, I know I didn't make a speech tonight, but...
I wanted you to know how happy I am for the two of you.
- And I'm so proud of you. - Oh, thanks, mom.
I love you.
Oh, and just think,
one more dinner in the old Ojai house.
You know all those summers we used to spend up here as kids,
you know, running around trying not to kill each other?
You know what my favorite part was, mom?
When you'd call us in from the backyard.
Oh, yes.
You would all come racing in, tripping all over each other
trying to be the first one at the dinner table.
Yeah, and dad would be sitting at the head of the table
giving us his stupid quizzes and word puzzles, but you...
you would want to know everything about our day...
whatever crazy idea we had or whatever,
you'd listen to it all.
The most important people in the world, mom.
Well, at least I did something right.
You did.
- Am I interrupting? - No.
No, after you two barging in on my honeymoon today...
Oh, right. Sorry.
Oh, my God. I can't believe we interrupted your honeymoon.
Well, speaking of "honeymoon," mom,
I figured you might want something for your scrapbook.
You know, the "press a penny" place
- with the date shakes? - Yeah, we each had one.
Oh, my God. What?
- I know it's lame, but... - No.
Holly, that weekend.
What weekend?
Well, your mom remembers this weekend in the summer of '73
when your dad said he was looking for land.
I remember now.
He brought me back one of these.
So he was looking for land...
Somewhere around here.
I'm gonna get the map.
It's so beautiful out here.
Yeah, I know.
It's so quiet.
Yeah, I feel like a storm's passed.
Tommy, what if we're making a mistake selling Ojai?
Would you ever think about coming back?
I don't know.
Well, I'll say one thing,
whatever dad's expectations of us were
or whatever his vision for the company was,
I don't really care about them anymore.
Hey, listen, if you could do anything...
absolutely anything... with Ojai,
what would it be?
Hypothetically?
Yeah.
I would, um...
I'd take that parcel of land up by Victorville, plant wild strawberries.
Strawberries.
Yeah.
I like that idea.
Okay, so these are all the destinations in York's GPS?
Yes, here's the list right here.
Yeah, we kept going in a circle, which is what I said.
We kept passing the same hill with the same mesquite tree.
You know that tree, Saul, that great big tree,
right there at the turnoff at 150?
Yeah, I know it, except it's a pepper tree.
It's a pepper tree?
- Oh, wait. You don't think... - Pepper in your stepper...
Pepper... with a pepper in your stepper.
Kevin, come here. We're trying to solve one of dad's puzzles.
Can't. Scotty's already in the car.
Come on. You're the best at trying to figure this stuff out.
Just a little ditty.
All right. What's...
What's the circle for?
The trail that York left with his food obsessions.
Or else he was driving back and forth to Narrow Lake
That's it!
- What? - Look, that's it. If... if York was driving back and forth,
if you triangulate all the stops,
here is the center right here.
Wait. But what's that road?
- Calle de Los Suenos. - Street of dreams.
Follow the dream, the dreams... you... you and I.
Pepper... pepper in your stepper, dreams. This has gotta be it.
It has to. It's gotta be something.
We have gotta go back to route 150
and see what's at the end of that road.
Yeah, but that looks like a dead end.
Wait a minute.
Narrow lake is an anagram for " Nora Walker."
Good luck finding it.
- You're leaving? - Yeah.
- Oh. All right. - Thank you.
- Congratulations, sister-in-law. - Thank you.
Bye. Bye.
Kevin.
Kevin, please talk to me.
I don't want to, mom. Not yet.
I love you.
I know.
This can't be it.
Well, it has to be. Everything points here.
There's nothing here.
There's not even a lake.
I know.
It does look like an empty piece of land.
But I'm telling you, Holly,
I see our future here.
