- Adam! - Adam! Adam? Oh, God, Adam.
What if it's not him?
There's just been something off about him.
You're a drunk, and you are confused.
Who's that?
A friend.
Hank Asher,
behind bars for more than 10 years,
is back at home.
I need to use Adam as bait.
He's here. He sees him.
He's not okay. He's not okay. I know my son.
I don't feel right. I...
The blockage was here, right below his appendix.
My son had his appendix out when he was 5.
Adam?
Ben?
Who is he?
Is his name Ben?
I'm so sorry, mom.
What did you do?
Oh, my God.
Mom.
Mom?
Don't you have any idea what you have done?
Do you even understand...
- We were falling apart, all of us! - Do you understand?
Do you understand what you've done?
I don't know. How could you possibly think...
I thought I could make it better.
- Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God. - I thought if I could just...
if I could just bring him back...
- God... - And I did.
And I did... I brought my brother back!
No, it's not him! It is not your brother!
I thought I could fix it!
Seeing you lose him was the worst moment of my life.
Oh, well, now you get to see it all over again.
Mom, wha... Mom...
Mom, please.
You shouldn't drive. You're too upset.
What if someone sees you like this?!
Oh, my God.
That's why you did it.
- What? - To win the election.
- That's not true. - Oh, my God.
- That's not true. - What?
That's not true.
You were worried about name recognition.
And now you're not!
No, I just wanted... I wanted things
- to go back to the way they were. - Oh, my God.
- I just... - I never thought about the race.
I don't believe that. I don't believe it!
I love you, mom.
I don't believe that, either!
Mom...
He was with him!
For 10 years, he was there!
Do you think that matters?
He helped him. He knew him! He... he... he...
Everything about him, more than we ever did!
But he's not my son!
He made Adam's life bearable!
Doesn't he deserve something for that?
He is not my son!
Your son is dead!
And...
And Ben is here.
And he may not be Adam,
but he's the closest thing we have.

French toast with bacon or scrambled eggs with hash browns?

I'll probably be a chef someday.
I had a mouse down here.
Her name was Lola.
What's your favorite book?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

You got to eat.
Okay, more for me.
I hate eggs.
French toast it is.
You burnt the bacon.
What happens down here?
We eat.
We play.
We have school.
Sometimes our Friend comes.
What does he do?
He brings toys.
Banana pancakes or blueberry?
Chocolate chip with whipped cream
and hot dogs and french fries...
- And root-beer floats. - And cake.
And sundaes.
Tell me something new.
They killed Saddam Hussein.
I, Claire Warren, do solemnly swear that I will support
the Constitution of the United States
and the Constitution of the State of Maine,
- and that I am not disqualified... - Mayor?
- ...from holding the office of Mayor. - She's gonna be president, Daddy.
Claire Warren got a major victory today
when the City Council voted to adopt
a zero-tolerance policy on unregistered sex offenders.
Warren became a public figure after the tragic murder

Waffle or cinnamon roll?
Tell me something new, Adam.

There's a steel wall.
It's blocking the whole tunnel.
Prime rib for dinner?
No.
What about some pizza?
This... that's not pizza.
It's old bread.
If we're good, maybe our Friend will bring ice cream.
Stop calling him that.

You know what he comes here to do,
and it's not bring ice cream.
Adam...
He's not our friend!

Tell me something new.

Bracelet.
Where is he?
Bracelet.
Key.
Where is he?
Key.
He was in a bad way.
I did everything I could.
Well, you haven't been eating.
Huh?
You need to eat.
Hey, don't worry.
I'll get you a new friend.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
You look pale.
Worry about yourself.
I don't think they're feeding you.
You look thin.
Oh. Am I clean?
'Cause normally I hollow it out and put a shank in there.
Mom.
Hmm?
If something happens to me in here,
I want you to know that it's not your fault.
What's not my fault?
It's not your fault I am the way I am.
You're a good boy.
You always have been, and you always will be.
Don't believe anyone who says different.
Okay.
Now let's do a puzzle.
Oh, hey, I didn't know you were home.
Yeah, I got a job.
Oh, that's great, honey.
But the dude changed his mind and gave it to his nephew.
Nepotism, right?
I'm always happy to abuse my power on your behalf.
Uh, no, no, no.
Some... something will come up.
Actually, um...
I do have an idea for an app.
Yeah?
Yeah, and I know it's, like,
what everybody's doing right now,
but if you get the right people together for the coding...
How much?
Oh, no, mom, I wasn't asking...
How much do you need?
Uh, like... a thousand would probably be good.
It'd be good for startup, and I've crunched these numbers,
and that's a very specific number...
for a startup.
What does the app do?
- Going to stay for dinner? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just got to run and do something real quick.
And then I'll be back at dinnertime.
Love you.
Bracelet.
Hey, we talked about this.
You have to eat.
You're not eating.
You... you're gonna be skin and bones.
You can't mope around forever.
I know you're sad. I'm sad, too.
Where's all the bricks?
Right here!
Can I help you?
Are you Willa?
Who are you?
Ben.
Can I help you, Ben?
It's about your brother.
What did Danny do?
Not Danny.
Adam.
Adam's...
Adam died 10 years ago.
He died last week.
I need you to leave.
No, please. I tried to help him!
- I'm calling the cops. - Wait!
_
I don't understand.
He talked about you.
Why did you come here?
I don't have anywhere else to go.
What about your family?
I don't have one.
I don't believe it.
You don't believe what?
All of it.
Okay.
Okay, tell me something about Adam.
He played Little League.
Anybody would know that.
His team name was the Hornets.
That... that picture was all over the news.
Your mother's name is Claire, and your father's name is John,
your brother is Danny... - News, news, news!
His favorite color is blue.
His favorite Transformer is Megatron.
His favorite subject is gym, which isn't a subject.
He thought that it was.
We fought about that.
He always woke up way too early,
and he cut the tags out of all of his shirts.
And he was real sorry when he wet the bed
at that summer camp one time.
But he was the most sorry
when he walked away from you that day.
You didn't walk away from him.
He walked away from you.
He always wished that he could tell you
that it wasn't your fault.
Because he knew that, for the rest of your life,
you would think that it was.
Oh.
I didn't expect you till Sunday.
How was Philly?
I want a divorce.
Do you want to throw on your tux?
Um, I just had it cleaned.
Did you hear me?
It's another fundraiser, but this one's really important.
I'll explain on the way.
I'm tired of living like this.
- Just... - I know you are, too.
- We'll go to counseling. - We've done that.
No, but this time, we'll try harder.
We'll fix it.
There's nothing left here to fix.
You flew home to drop this on me?
Tonight?
I have to give a speech in less than an hour.
It's gonna determine everything.
I have worked so hard for this,
and I know that you don't care about that,
but I do think that you still care about me.
So can we please... just...
Can we please just do this tomorrow?
You'll be great.
You always are.
How was your shower?
It was too hot.
So, there wasn't the best selection.
Thank you.
Let me see that hand.
Oh.
So, what are we gonna do?
Go to the police.
Okay.
Tomorrow.
Um, my mom has a... has a big speech tonight, and...
when she hears that Adam was alive just a week ago...
I understand.
How's the new pool, Jimmy?
Glad we could work out that easement issue for you.
- Joanne. - Hi.
Hi.
She's a star.
A rising one.
She'll make one heck of a governor.
She'll definitely on our list for the next cycle.
Why wait? It's up to you guys.
Do you want the Governor's mansion now
or wait four more years?
You let me know.
Mom?
Mom? It's almost time.
Is everything all right?
What is it? What's wrong?
Okay, okay.
I...
I don't...
Here.
Come over here.
Undo this.
Okay.
I can't.
- I can't. - It's all right.
- Oh, my God. - Everything is going to be fine.
Everything is gonna be fine.
Take some deep breaths.
Thank you.
The Republican Party hasn't governed
the state of Maine in over a decade.
We can only take back our great state
by pushing one thing... the sanctity of family.
They say you can't choose your family.
But you know what?
I would have chosen exactly who I was given.
Well, what... what do you mean, he's gone?
The two of you were supposed to be watching him!
He was fine. He was with Willa, and...
But you're the oldest! You're in charge!
Except when he's getting to third base with some slut.
Like you'd ever know what that is, you freak of nature.
It's okay. Here he is.
Oh!
Oh, thank God.
Oh, my God. Thank God.
Don't you run off like that ever again.
- Where was he? - At an arcade downtown.
He had gotten real into NBA Jam.
Oh, my God. Thank you, thank you.
You folks have a good night.
My family has had some very trying times.
But we love each other, and we are strong,
and every family in Maine deserves a strong foundation!
What else builds the foundation of our values,
teaches us respect, compassion, patience?
We can rebuild this great state one brick at a time!
Thank you.
How much do you know about my brother?
Everything.

- Sunday brunch. - Pancakes... John makes them.
Dad makes them.
How does it hold all the pictures inside?
How did Danny get the scar on his eye?
He ran into a wall.
Is that Aunt Connie?
Yeah, she lives in Seattle.
And Uncle Kit?
Ugh, he's gross. He'll never visit.
Adam really liked his naked-lady tattoo.
Um... favorite food.
Spaghetti.
Favorite movie?
Uh, "Nacho Libre."
Pet?
The goldfish. I can't remember her name.
Petunia. What happened to her?
I flushed her down the toilet
so she could swim free in the ocean.
Favorite sport.
Uh, baseball.
Favorite team?
The Red Sox.
What are you doing?
Brushing my teeth.
It feels so good.
Adam is right-handed.
You have to remember that.
You can't use your left hand for anything again.
This isn't gonna work.
It will, it will. We just...
We have to practice and cover everything.
Well, w-what if they don't believe me?
They will.
They will believe you.
What are you doing?
I've never seen this before.
Seen what?
Morning.
You should, um...
You should go to the police tonight, before your hand heals.
We got to get back to work.
Why are you doing this?
Because Adam was wrong.
It wasn't his fault.
But now I can fix...
everything.
Hey, where've you been?
At a... cheap motel with a dirty stranger.
You're leaving again?
They, uh... yeah, they booked some readings in San Francisco.
Do you want to come?
Or, here's a crazy idea... you, uh, stay home.
Your mom and I...
You're getting a divorce.
That's... that's a mistake.
- No, honey... - Y-you should stick it out
a few more days.
- No, it won't matter. - It will.
It... trust me. It will.
No, it's been over for a long time.
It was just Adam.
- If that hadn't happened, you wo... - No, we'd have broken anyway.
- What? - Mom and I are different people.
All Adam did was show us how true that was.
Did you know that your little brother hardly ever cried?
I mean, he did, of course, but...
He... the kid was a little ray of sunshine.
So?
So he'd hate what we're doing to ourselves now.
We're wallowing.
It's time to move on.
He'd want us to.
I made it start bleeding again so it looks fresh.
Ben...
Where are we?
Bus station.
Why?
It won't work.
- Yes, it will. - It won't.
- You said it yourself. - No... but I can do it now.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
Thank you f-for taking care of him, but, uh...
But I need you to leave... and... and not come back.
I, um...
I packed some clothes, and...
and...
here's $10,000.
Where am I gonna go?
You can go anywhere.
You can be anyone.
You just can't... you just can't be my brother.
_
Coffee or tea?
Which one can I put directly in a vein?
Anything exciting happening today?
Pretty routine.
Uh, crime stats with the Council,
brunch with the Junior League, press conference.
Oh, they're gonna pound me on Keller.
You did fire a Deputy Mayor.
For buying his mistress La Perla on the city's dime.
Spin it with family values.
You don't tolerate lying, just ask your kids.
I don't tolerate lying, Frank.
I don't. You can ask my kids.
- Mayor Warren! - Holy crap.
Mayor Warren, have you spoken to police
- about the reappearance of Adam? - Mother?
What?
Life isn't a straight shot, my friends.
It's full of hills and valleys.
Confront your grief, y-your fear of it.
Excuse me, folks.
- Can I help you? - Oh, my God.
- They found that boy. - What boy?
The one that was murdered years ago, the Mayor's kid.
Though a body was never found,
after an extensive investigation,
the Warren's neighbor was eventually
convicted for Adam's murder.
But sources say the young man
showed up earlier today to a downtown police precinct
and clearly identified himself as the youngest Warren child.
- How is this happening? - I don't know.
Oh, my God. I don't understand.
Me neither.
He confessed! Hank Asher said that he just...
- I-I know. - Just...
It's not real. It can't be real.
Mom?
What if it is?
He's got scars, signs of abuse.
- He was kept in shackles. - How do we know it's him?
It's been 10 years.
He was supposed to be dead.
We ran a DNA test. It's him.
Is he okay? Hi, Adam.
Hi, mom.
Welcome home, Ad.
Just so you know, it's kind of a mob scene
back at the house with the press.
Might be a little overwhelming.
Can you just have them arrested? It's private property.
As soon as you all get inside, we'll set up a perimeter.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
I took them all down... photos of you.
It's just, I... I couldn't...
This was so high before.
Do you want to go and see your room?
It's this way.
What are you doing?!
I missed this place.
Where's the rest of my stuff?
I-it's not your stuff.
- Why are you upset? - You know why...
This is what you wanted.
Everything's okay now.
You got your brother back.
You're not my brother, Ben!
You need to stop calling me that.
My name is Adam.
_
Mayor Warren?
No.
See? Told you she wasn't dead.
Honey, please don't run.
Hi.
Where's mom?
I'm glad you didn't listen to me at the bus station that night.
What?
It's been...
really nice these past few weeks...
having Adam back.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't it be?
Where's mom?
I'll get the nurse to discharge you.
Hungry, bud?
You must be sick of hospital food.
Where is he?
Kitchen.
Blueberry pancakes or banana?
- Either's good. - Banana.
Hi, mom.
Welcome home.
