Owen, park the plane.
we're leaving.
Claudia, do you need
a ride or don't you?
yes, I need you.
I'm late.
just as soon
as I'm dressed.
well, then, hurry up,
'cause Diana's
about to lose it,
and Owen's--
Owen, where are you?
kamikaze flying
down the steps
when I passed him.
hey. I didn't even
know you were here.
I came to give this back.
what?
I found a bunch
of apartment leads
in the paper.
some in the realm
of reality price-wise.
actually, it's--
it's kind of exciting.
my very own place
for the first time since...
well, anyway, um...
can I give a hug
hello/good-bye?
yeah.
hey.
I just came by
to pick up my mail,
and, uh...
drop off this.
hey, you don't
have to, uh--
Kirsten:
ok, I gotta go.
um...
will you say good-bye
to claud for me?
ok.
yeah.
bye, Griffin.
bye.
is this yours?
what?
this, uh,
the real estate section?
could I borrow this?
I could probably
swing some of these
if I sell some more! Blood.
Griffin, listen,
you don't have to
find a new place.
you can crash
in the shed.
no. Thanks. That's--
no, really.
just don't feel like
you're not wanted.
ok? 'Cause after
everything that
happened with Julia--
look, no,
that's really nice.
it is. But, uh,
I'm actually
about this close
from having
a real life, so, uh...
I gotta go.
thank you.
ok.
That kid on the steps
says you're Charlie salinger?
yeah. What,
you're gonna drop off
your key, too?
Did you know about this?
what?
it's a subpoena.
Bailey's suing me
for custody of Owen.

I'm only cleaning up
the part that's mine,
not the part that's yours.
I've got a makeup tomorrow.
8 zillion vocab words
for Italian before...
undici hours from now.
so leave it.
leave yours, too.
you can do
my share of dishes
after dinner tonight.
grazie Mille.
grazie tante.
grazie infinito.
only who says
I'm staying for dinner?
you're not?
hello.
I live at Stanford.
I go to Stanford,
and I live there.
yeah, but you've had dinner
here every night since...
what's today?
every night since Friday?
I just figured.
since Friday?
venerdi?
yeah. I just figured
you'd be staying tonight.
no, I'm not.
I can't. I mean...
wow. I didn't even
realize...
guess I've kind of been
avoiding that place, huh?
well, that's ok, jule.
no, it's not.
it's--it's my life.
I can't just slip into
living back here.
I guess whoever...
whatever's at school,
I kind of gotta deal
with being there, huh?
so I'll see you
when I see you.
grazie bene.
your lawyer--
he treated me like I was
some kind of criminal, Bailey,
and I'm on your side.
yes, I know. I know.
he grilled me, too.
but that's the drill,
Sarah.
he's gotta prepare you
for the courtroom.
yeah, I know, but I still
want to kill him.
and you, too, a little.
yeah, well,
don't be mad at me.
be mad at Charlie.
he's the one
who's making me do this.
yeah, I guess.
what's wrong with you?
I thought you were
with me on this.
Bailey, I am.
I'm with you
on Owen living here,
completely,
but suing your brother
to get him?
can you think
of a better way
to make him listen?
if you have a better way,
then tell me, Sarah,
because I don't want
to be doing this...At all.
I don't know, Bailey.
I've just--
I've been there before.
my parents--
when they got divorced,
it wasn't even messy.
I mean, they agreed
on everything,
until they
opened their mouths
in front of a judge
and some lawyers,
and it all fell apart.
I mean, they're still
not speaking.
and they were fighting
over furniture, Bailey.
you're fighting over Owen.
I don't have a choice. Ok?
and so if--
if people's feelings get hurt,
then that's what
has to happen.
even if it means
he never forgives you?
he'll get over this,
Sarah. He will.
he's an adult.
we all are.
and--and that's the point.
Owen is just a kid.
and if he doesn't get
the attention
that he needs right now,
he'll never get over that.
he won't.
(Russian accent)
now you have seen
the kitchen.
it's not perfect,
but you can cook there.
and the--the bathroom's
not perfect,
but everything work.
ah, well, the rent's
a little steep,
but I like it.
you like it now?
then you should walk
up and down the block.
the people, they say,
"good morning, Mrs. kranther,"
if it's morning,
or, "good afternoon,
Mrs. kranther,"
if it's afternoon.
yeah, that's nice.
if, uh, you know,
if it just wasn't
for the rent.
you know, my husband and I,
we have been here 25 years.
he was apartment manager,
and then we saved up
and we bought it.
oh. So maybe
I talk to him
about the rent?
me. You talk to me.
my husband and money
is not a match made in heaven.
Mr. kranther:
go ahead, flush it.
you don't know a thing
until you flush.
there he is.
he's showing the place
to somebody else, Mr. Griffin.
ooh. Ooh.
views from the bedroom--
that's nice.
never mind the views.
look at these walls.
well, you gotta have
an apartment with walls.
no, I mean walls walls.
like they used to make.
(pats wall)
it's good apartment
for you, no?
you think so?
yes, I do.
and you think
the price is fair?
yeah, I do.
shall i--shall I talk
to Mrs. kranther about--
no, no, no.
forget my wife.
when it
comes to business,
she's in a world
of her own.
you will fill out
the application
and give it to me.
we've been studying so much,
I feel like we're
living in Italy.
yeah,
except for the food.
ok, I have been in Italy--
just when I think
I'm over you.
um, hey, I'll see ya.
ned, I really
don't think--
something happened
with Richie.
what about Richie?
wait, don't tell me.
I don't want to
hear about Richie.
I don't want to hear
about anything.
ned, stop, please.
too late. You asked.
my brother...Asked for you.
I mean, you gotta realize
how unusual that is.
it's a breakthrough,
you know.
I don't care.
about Richie?
I don't believe that.
remember when you said
you were making
a connection with him,
and I said, "no,
that's not possible,
he's a true autistic"?
I was wrong.
and you were right. So--
ned, stop.
do you hear me?
stop acting like
things are normal here.
Julia, listen--we...
we've had problems
since the beginning.
and this is just
a turning point for us.
there is no "us."
do you understand?
do you understand
those words?
and how dare you use
your brother like that
to try
and manipulate me.
time will pass.
what?
ok.
see ya.
You are really gone,
you know that?
really gone.
take it easy. We're
in a public place here.
no. You're the one
who made this public.
you're the one
who put this
in front of a judge.
and what the hell is this
supposed to accomplish?
hire a lawyer.
he'll explain.
I can't afford a lawyer,
and you know that!
or is that the point?
Charlie, I don't
feel sorry for you,
because when all of us
came to talk to you,
for whatever stupid reason,
you wouldn't listen to us.
I listened,
and then I said no.
I'm allowed to do that.
there are 5 of us
in this family.
but I'm the guardian,
no matter how many votes
you line up against me.
ok, fine. We'll see.
fine. You want to lose--
you want to lose
and cost this family
thousands of dollars,
go ahead. I'm not gonna
let your money bully me.
you seem pretty sure
that you'd win.
I am.
so then what's your problem
letting somebody else decide?
an impartial judge.
at $500 an hour? Plenty.
ok. Then what if we could
do it cheaper, out of court?
what? You want me
to flip a coin for Owen?
no. My lawyer says
we could hire someone--
a family law judge
or whoever.
they make a decision,
and we both agree
to live by it.
no courts, no lawyers,
nothing like that.
just you and me in a room
with someone to make
a decision.
you know what?
forget it.
I don't have to do
any of this.
yes, you do, because...
you can't ignore a subpoena.
ok? So...
in court or out of court.
those are your options.
I'm thinking out.
what happened
to you, Bailey?
what made beating me
more important
than anything?
I'll take that as a yes.
You've chosen
to make this informal,
so that means no lawyers
and no rules of evidence,
but that doesn't mean
no rules at all.
my rules are simple.
let the other guy finish
before you start to speak,
try not to raise your voice,
and watch your language.
this isn't a courtroom,
but I'm a judge,
so let's try
and treat this process
with respect, all right?
ok.
fine.
now, I have Bailey's
written statement here,
but I haven't gotten
anything from you.
have you had a chance--
no.
so I should assume--
just ask me whatever you want,
and I'll answer.
fine. Let's get started.
um, according to
Bailey's statement here,
he first felt that Owen
would be better off
in his custody
when he was
diagnosed with--
it's called
a processing disorder.
he has trouble integrating
sensory input--
pictures and sounds
and symbols.
and the recommended
therapy for this...
well, it's a lot.
it's special programs
at school
and at home.
it's 3 or more hours
of one-on-one work
with a parent or tutor,
per day.
and it has to start soon,
or else he won't start
reading with his peers.
and is it true
that Charlie balked
when you told him
about your conclusions
about Owen's condition?
initially, yes.
he didn't want
to accept that--
I wanted to get
a second opinion,
that's all.
tell the judge why.
tell her why you didn't like
the school's diagnosis.
because I wasn't
about to put Owen
into some huge
treatment thing
if he didn't
actually need it.
it's more like you knew
you didn't have the time
to give to it if he did.
that's not true.
admit it, Charlie.
it's simple math.
you were hiding from
the truth because--
I wasn't hiding
from anything.
all right, this is what
I'm talking about.
we're not gonna
get anywhere
if you two can't curb
the testosterone.
do you hear me?
ok. Now, um, according to
Bailey's statement,
Charlie's current
responsibilities
are such that...
he usually gets home
around 5:00,
after picking up Owen.
sometimes
I pick him up
if he's busy
with school.
then it's baby stuff.
you know,
changing Diana, feeding her,
giving her a bath.
and we split up dinners.
sometimes I cook,
but mostly he does.
ever since the cancer,
he's been kinda kooky
for that
macrobiotic stuff.
that's right.
Charlie's recovering
from hodgkin's disease?
recovered.
I'm in full remission.
you actually
put that in there.
Bailey, god, what's
the matter with you?
the follow-up
treatments he needs
take up a lot of time.
so, um, after he gets
finished with his chores
with you and the kids,
how much time does he have free
before Owen goes to bed?
I don't know.
it's different
every night.
well, would you say he has
3 hours a night on average?
well...no.
I can make the time
if I need it.
how? Daphne's gone,
you can't ignore Diana,
and you can't afford
to hire help.
I'll ask
the questions, please.
you think that's right,
in your opinion?
would Charlie
have the time
if he moved things around
and got some help from you?
every day?
no way.
I mean, I'm...
I'm sorry, Charlie,
I've seen you try,
and...there's no way.
Oh, hey, kirst.
you, too?
god, I guess they got us
all trotting out,
one by one.
I guess so.
I don't know
what to tell them.
truth is,
they both love Owen.
they both want
what's best for him.
but Charlie
raised him.
for as long as
he could, anyway.
you've seen how crazy
it is over there.
you know what?
let's not us start.
right. You're right.
ahem. So...
I heard you're not
in the shed anymore.
uh, no. I think I might've
found a place, actually.
great.
big, old, high ceilings.
great neighborhood.
of course, it's a little bit
too expensive.
you're looking, too, right?
I am. I might've
found something.
price is great,
but the neighborhood...
it's not too safe,
and it's kinda far
from everything,
but I gotta
take something,
you know, and move on.
away from your marriage,
you mean?
I know the feeling.
well, actually,
I meant...
from everything.
Kirsten.
why are you making me
talk about this?
well, they all say
you're his best friend.
so why should I testify
against him, then?
I mean, I don't
have to, right?
this isn't a trial
or anything.
it's ok, Kirsten.
you can answer
the question.
I don't mind.
well, for the record,
if there is one,
I mind, Bailey.
did Charlie talk to you
about what would happen
if the baby's mother left?
did he have a plan
for how he'd raise
all 3 kids on his own?
did he seem to have
thought that through?
Kirsten?
I mean, he was kind of
short-tempered, I guess.
but I can't say
that I really blame him,
considering everything
he had to deal with.
he had more than
he could handle?
yeah. More than
anybody could.
well, since Charlie's
had custody,
4 unsatisfactory visitations,
including one requiring
temporary placement
of the minors elsewhere.
when I was
in the hospital.
and Bailey was supposed
to be covering.
which we noted as inadequate
alternative care provision
by the guardian.
did you get a call
after Owen broke his arm?
no, we did not.
um, which is--
we're supposed to be notified
of any serious injuries.
when was this?
nice work, bay.
I can't believe
you're doing this.
why'd you have to
bring him into this?
that's why we're here,
Julia. The broken arm,
everything that's been
falling through the cracks.
don't start blaming me now
if you don't like
the way it sounds.
did you know
he was gonna do this--
rake Charlie
over the coals,
dredge up every mistake
he's ever made?
Julia, why are you
suddenly--
you were just as mad as Bailey
when Charlie wouldn't listen.
what did you
expect this to--
I'll tell him to go.
yeah, you just stay here--
no, no.
what do I have to do now?
do I have to actually
call the police?
I'll say this quick,
and then I'll go.
I'm seeing
Dr. kessel again.
you know how I feel
about talking to him,
so you know I wouldn't
go there unless...
I really
wanted to change.
ned--
Julia.
I'll do anything,
I mean, anything
in the world
to get us
through this part.
this part?
I'll make it
all my fault,
everything
that happened.
I just--
I want you back.
you're seeing kessel?
had 2 appointments
already.
I'm seeing him again
on Thursday.
good...for you.
not for me.
Julia--
get away from me, ned.
I mean it.
that's it. I'm getting
Charlie and Bailey.
I've been rereading
Bailey's statement,
and I've decided to call
Ms. Walsh.
hold on. My--my boss?
you're bringing in
my boss?
all right, don't start.
I am getting
so sick of this, Charlie.
that's enough.
because if you stopped
feeling wronged and abused
for 10 seconds,
you would realize
that I'm just trying
to give you what you want.
I'll tell you what.
we're all a little tired.
why don't we
pick this up tomorrow?
anything else
is off the record.
what is that
supposed to mean?
how is this--
how is this supposed
to be a big favor?
you never wanted us,
Charlie, ever,
since day one.
what?
Bailey, stop it.
no, it's true.
from the minute you got
back into the house,
all you did was complain
about how you had to
take care of us.
about how you had to
give up your whole
future for us.
that is--Bailey, even--
even if I thought that
once--
that was years ago, Bailey.
was it, Julia?
was it years ago?
what about this past year?
how glad he was
for us to be taking
things off his hands--
the restaurant, the kids.
Bailey...
what do you think?
Owen--Owen has been
like a son for me
for the last 5 years.
you think that
I don't love him?
you think I don't--
I don't want him?
then why don't you do
what's best for him?
I am what's best
for him!
the only dad
that he's had
for the past 5 years!
then why does he
want me?
you want to answer that
for me?
that's enough, Bailey.
Charlie...
Julia, don't,
you know?
just--you guys...
you've all said enough.
I mean, yeah.
I hated to give up
all of that stuff.
the...designing,
Seattle.
a million
different things.
but I did it.
I gave it up,
and I stayed
in that house,
and I did the best
that I could.
and now...
the first
really good thing
that comes along,
the first thing
for me,
that I actually take...
my little girl...
and you want to
punish me for it.
why, because I actually
wanted a life for myself?
Charlie, no one is saying--
and you don't realize
that you guys are all
I've got now.
everything else
I let go.
so this, all of you--
all of you turning
on me like this...
it's not just Owen
you're taking away.
I called 11 times
last night,
and he never picked up.
he hasn't said
a single word to me
since yesterday.
he just took Diana
and Owen in his room
and just stayed there.
look, guys, we knew
that he would be upset.
we knew that.
ok?
oh, good,
you're all here.
what's this?
I made
some notes.
6 of the last 15 weeks,
more or less,
if you add
all the days together.
including Christmas,
it says here.
so Owen fits into your lives
pretty nicely.
yeah.
sure.
i--i mean, between us,
we're there
every minute he is.
and Bailey's got loads
of time now, you know,
now that he hired
a manager at work.
and what about space?
you live in
a one-room loft?
um...2 now.
Bailey walled in
a bedroom for Owen,
with a bed and a desk
and a computer.
there's a--
there's a floor plan.
I don't know
if that's in your notes.
yes, I have it
right here.
thank you.
um...ok.
Sarah, you're
a sophomore in college.
is that correct?
uh-huh.
which makes you
how old?
um...19.
almost 20.
do you have any
younger siblings
in your family
or cousins?
do you have any
previous experience
taking care of kids?
uh...
well...
no. No, not really.
but, um, all the time
that I've spent with Owen--
thanks. That's all
I need to know.
I need to take a pause
right now,
because there are
a few other people
I have to hear from. Ok?
what did you tell her?
what's going on?
Hello.
hello, I said.
who's there?
I thought I recognized
that voice.
Griffin?
what--
no.
yes?
yes.
no.
I thought you said
you were getting
an apartment
in some funky
neighborhood.
I thought you were getting
some really expensive
apartment.
I was.
ohh...
the difference
in crime rates
between pacific heights
and Bailey's neighborhood?
well, one has flowerpots
in the windows.
the other has iron bars.
come on,
it's not like that.
let me be more
specific, detective.
tell me about
Bailey's building.
wait a second.
I know where this
is going, ok?
you'll get your turn,
Bailey. Detective?
here's 2 things
I wouldn't do.
buy a gun I didn't need,
then have an ex-con over
so he could steal it
to shoot the neighbors.
Julia: Well, I tried to
talk him out of dropping out.
Bailey was only
a sophomore.
would you describe
that decision as rational,
mature?
well, I guess no.
did you ever attend
any al-anon meetings?
what?
well, I ask because
that's an alcoholic
trait, isn't it,
the...compulsive tendency
to take on big projects
and not be able
to follow through?
that's what
an intervention is.
when we--we asked him
to quit.
that doesn't--
doesn't make him
some sort of--
well, what did he say
when you asked him?
did he say yes?
did he promise
to quit?
not right away,
but...
eventually, yeah.
the answer is no, then.
right?
bruises.
and some stitches
where I hit the windshield,
and I guess
I had a concussion.
but after the accident,
he got help?
he went to aa,
and he's been going
ever since.
did he have any slip-ups...
or was that the end
for Bailey and drinking?
Sarah?
why...
why are you even...Asking?
I mean, you have
Charlie's notes there.
you have all the dirt
on Bailey now,
so why make me say it?
the burden of proof
is on your boyfriend,
Sarah.
we're not just looking
at Charlie's record here.
not until we absolutely
have to.
that's the policy,
basically.
and when is that?
extreme neglect...
repeated abuse.
but why wait till then?
because studies show
that taking a kid
from the people
and places they know
does damage.
sometimes more damage
than a parent who hurts them.
wait. Hold on a second.
I'm not some foster home
here, ok?
I'm his brother.
who's been away from home
for 2 whole years.
who lives someplace
that Owen doesn't even know.
except for the 2 months
that he stayed there
because you
couldn't hack it.
ok. You know what?
we got through one whole day
without a fight.
let's keep it at that.
I'll see you here tomorrow,
after lunch.
well, one thing we know
about this neighborhood--
there's some great
Mexican takeout.
napkin?
mmm.
Griffin, can we talk
about this?
Kirsten,
we talked about it.
the place is yours.
but I feel bad.
I mean, you love
the neighborhood, and--
I can't afford it.
I told you.
(sighs)
ok, but, you sure?
you don't mind?
I'll be fine.
except for, um,
maybe--maybe just
for tonight?
I mean,
the floor would be--
no. No way.
I mean...
not just for tonight.
you crash here
until you find
a new place.
well, all right.
cool.
man, was that intense
yesterday?
I mean, all that stuff
between Charlie and Bailey.
it was.
and Bailey is--
actually...
Griffin...
mm-mmm.
remember?
remember the whole idea?
when it's time
to move on...
right. Good.
movin' on. Yeah.
how about those giants, huh?
heck of a team, I hear.
so she is letting you
do your Italian paper
on a movie?
duh. An Italian movie.
a great Italian movie.
cinema paradiso.
I know, I know, I know.
I saw it.
I just--
I don't like movies
about movies.
it's not about movies.
it's about growing up.
and memory and...
You ok?
yeah, sure.
so what's your paper on?
Dante and Beatrice.
so, what, you've
changed your mind?
you think that Owen
belongs with Charlie now?
no, Claudia,
of course not.
if you don't let Owen
tell her what he wants,
that's exactly
what's gonna happen.
I don't want
to do that to him.
to bring him in there
and make him choose,
with both of us
sitting there watching.
so you just put us all
through this for nothing.
I know that that judge
can see that I'm right.
I know if she just
looks at the facts--
look, she's a judge, ok?
she looks at the law,
and...
it's not on your side.
it never was.
(sighs)
but, you see...
if bringing him
in there...
if that's
the only way to win...
you convinced us
that this was right.
you said that even if
Owen gets scared
or Charlie gets angry
that Owen needs you, Bailey.
I don't know,
Claudia.
I don't know.
Oh, I'm, like,
sick of myself.
I'm mad I'm even
discussing this.
I'm mad I'm even
thinking about this.
about getting
back together with ned?
no.
no. I'm...
I'm not going back
to him.
I'd never...
it's just these feelings
that i--
I keep having
that I can't stop.
look, I can't...
throw a switch
or give you a pill
to make those feelings
go away.
you're going to
have to have them...
and have them...
until you don't.
god, I just...
I know.
it's hard.
but don't let that
tempt you to go back
where you don't want
to go.
I know.
but...
what? There's
something else.
well, it's--it's...
stupid.
and I know
I shouldn't care, but...
could you tell me,
does he seem better
to you?
I don't follow
your question.
well, ned, is--
I mean, is he making
progress?
and I know
how it sounds,
but I guess
I can't help caring.
how would I know
if he's getting better?
well, since he's been
coming back to you
since we broke up...
Julia, I can't comment
on another patient's treatment,
even to say...
if he's seen me.
but you just said...
you asked me
how you could know that.
so, what, that means...
he hasn't seen you,
has he?
he hasn't...
he hasn't come back.
Bailey!
hey, buddy.
how you doin'?
ok? Huh?
how come I don't
see you anymore?
you're gonna
see me soon. Ok?
why is everyone
looking at me like that?
what's going on?
everybody wants
to ask you
a few questions.
that's it.
but why?
because...we all
care about you
so much,
we want to do
what's best for you.
I don't care, ok?
I want you to stop.
Owen, we can't stop
caring about you.
I hate this, Bailey.
I want you to stop, ok?
I hate this.
Owen?
hi.
my name is Joan.
I'm a judge.
do you know
what that is?
well, that's all right.
all you need to know
is that we're all
your friends,
and we'd like you
to come inside
so we can ask you--
so that we can
show you--
so that you can see
that everything's ok.
that your whole family
is here, and...
nobody's fighting.
we're just talking,
and everything's
gonna be ok,
all right, bud?
ok.
all right.
so, Owen, why don't you
come here--
he's not gonna stay.
could you please
take him back
to the house?
Sarah: Could I what?
I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
he's not gonna answer
any questions, ok?
I changed my mind.
please, take him home.
sorry?
Sarah: Are you sure?
yes, I'm sure.
owe. You go
with Sarah.
ok, buddy?
and I'll call you
later.
it's ok.
what's going on here?
oh, come on,
you didn't get that?
Bailey's little
performance there?
Charlie, come on.
caring dad who can't
stand to see his son
in pain.
all right,
let's cool it.
I mean, now that he knows
that he can't win...
you know what, Charlie?
you're not impressing
anybody here, ok?
when you are so stupid
with pride
that it takes a subpoena
to get through your skull.
is this how you plan
to bring up Owen, huh?
with lawsuits
and threats?
I'm not the one
who lost my kid
in the mall. Ok?
I'm not the one who
knocked up some stripper.
Bailey, god.
that's enough,
all of you.
I don't want to hear
another word.
I've made up my mind.
I've made a decision.
what, already?
(sighs)
I hope it puts
an end to this,
but I doubt it.
if I was
the caseworker, I'd...
give the boy a break
from the both of you.
but I can only tell you
who wins.
so here it is.
Didn't get
what you wanted, huh?
Charlie,
leave him alone.
'cause you didn't just
want Owen, did you?
you wanted her
to make it official.
Bailey's number one.
better at running
a restaurant.
better at being a dad.
let it go, Charlie.
no, it's ok.
if he wants to do this,
that's fine.
but you get this
through your head, ok?
I never said
you weren't a good parent.
yes, you did!
a thousand times.
that's what you heard,
but I never said that, ever.
all I ever said was that
you didn't have the time.
and you're the one
who took that as a slam.
you're the one
who got all offended by it.
what, we gonna
fight this out again?
no, we're not.
ok, you won.
but you're gonna hear
why I did this, ok?
I didn't do this
to beat you,
and I didn't do it
to put you down.
I did it to make you
do the math.
you know what?
forget it.
I'm done with this.
Owen needs time
that you don't have,
Charlie,
and I wanted you
to see that.
and that's all I wanted.
The stalker, right?
that's what
I sort of am...
now?
well, uh...
but not anymore.
I'm here
not to do that--
to say...Sorry...
for that.
ok.
'cause you're not
coming back.
I got to hear
what you're saying,
and what you're saying
is you're not
coming back.
so if I press things...
I'll just
tick you off,
so then...
we can't even
be friends.
which is what I want,
Julia,
to at least be friends.
what do you say?
I don't know.
ok.
that's something.
so, then...
the question is...
do you want to maybe
hang together
tonight, let's say?
tonight, ned?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have--
no, actually,
you know, it...
it's all right.
how about my room,
and we'll go from there?
Owen: Yeah, I did.
I did it.
by myself.
it's ok, Bailey.
I got a lot right.
I did.
ok.
tomorrow?
at 5:00?
I will.
I'll be here.
ok. Bye.
That was just...Um...
it was Bailey.
I know. It's ok.
it is?
yeah.
I better get
some food in her.
I'll see you
a little bit later, ok?
No, that's not even it.
that's not even it.
what are you thinking,
more to the left?
it's not that
they don't care.
it's that
they care too much.
Bailey and Charlie
and all of them.
right. It's like
they're always
trying to hard
to protect each other.
instead of having
zero parents,
they have 5.
exactly.
god, Griffin,
I don't know.
is--is this wrong?
I think this is wrong.
you want to try
by the bay window again?
no, no. This.
this rule that we made
that we haven't stuck to
for more than 10 seconds.
right. The whole
moving on thing.
it's just...
I mean, you're...Here,
and I see you, and...
and it takes you
back to them.
I know.
maybe that's what
has to change.
and I should just
get out of here.
no. No, Griffin, wait.
no, you don't have to.
really, it's only
common sense, Kirsten.
you...
you can't move on
without movin'.
right?
Hey.
nice job with the bed.
I can't do those
hospital corners,
but I brushed my teeth
and got my jammies on.
Owen...
(clears throat)
You know that
I love you, right?
do you know
what that means,
to--to say that
to someone?
I...guess.
it means...That...
you love someone
so much...
that you put them first,
in front of everything,
including yourself.
uh-huh.
and you know what happens
when you love someone
like that?
you want to show them.
you want them to...
to know how you feel.
so...
someday, if there's
something that I can do
to make you happy,
even if you're scared
it's gonna make me sad,
I want you to tell me.
ok?
'cause then,
I'd know how to show you.
and, uh...
I'd thank you for that.
I'd never be mad.
you understand?
I'm trying not to say
it feels like old times,
but...
right.
come in.
oh, man.
oh, man!
ned.
you're gonna have to
hear a few things.
Julia asked me
to come here
as her doctor
because she's afraid
that you might--
no, uh...
let me.
everybody knows, ned.
I called the school,
and I called
the police...
and they know
you hit me,
and they know
you hit Maggie.
and--and so
you're gonna be watched,
and, um...
if you come near me
or call me
or contact me,
you're gonna be
charged with assault.
Julia--
and I've also
called your parents.
what?
my parents? Wh--
so they can follow up
and make sure
you get help.
'cause you're gonna
get treatment, ned,
and you're gonna stay there
with Dr. kessel or whoever--
I don't care.
wait.
Julia, wh--
why?
I thought that we were--
no. Ned, you know what?
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of your lies,
and I'm sick of your games,
and you're not my friend.
and I would just
walk away from you,
except I saw you
with this other woman.
and I can't let it
happen again.
I can't let this happen
to anyone else
what you did to me.
but...c-can i--
are you done?
can I say something now?
sure you can.
as long as your realize
no one's listening.
I packed up all of
his school stuff,
and, uh,
you can stop by
and get the rest
of his clothes
whenever you want.
he's got a doctor's
appointment on, uh...
Monday,
4:00, I think.
ok, and, uh,
don't forget
his swim league.
no, of course not.
ok.
I should
get back home.
ok. Um...
I don't know
what to say.
I know.
so I'm just gonna--
well...
what happens now?
we said a lot of stuff.
that's right.
but I didn't mean--
yeah, you did.
you meant
what you said.
and so did I.
so, um...
now's just not
the right time.
ok.
just, uh...
take good care of him.
