[MARGARET] I keep looking at
the photo the police found,
and it doesn't make sense, Hilary.
Why would Christopher have
a photo of Gus on his phone?
Doesn't that seem strange to you?
Your dead neighbor
having a photo of my son?
- [HILARY] Margaret
- I wasn't with that man
when he took the photograph,
and Essie swears to me that
she wasn't with him, either.
That doesn't necessarily mean
that Christopher had any
It's a possibility.
That's all I'm saying.
It's a possibility. It
needs to be investigated.
I know how hard it is to
not have answers, Margaret,
but you can't keep doing this.
Can't keep doing what?
Searching? Searching for my son?
Seeing everyone as a suspect.
There are consequences.
It's a clue. Why won't
you take it seriously?
Every detail is important.
That is what Detective
Chang has always said.
And now this isn't important?
That man was secretly
photographing my son.
How does that mean nothing?
[HILARY] He took one photo.
They didn't find anything else.
[MARGARET] Why do you
keep defending him?
How well did you really know him?
[HILARY] I watered his plants
and walked his dog all the time.
- Okay, so you didn't know him at all.
- I can't do this right now.
I'm sorry, Margaret. I have to go.
[SIGHS]
- Puri, what are you doing?
- Nothing, ma'am.
Just dusting. So much dust everywhere.

I'm gonna put this volcano over there

What about the lava?
We've got no corn syrup.
[CLARKE] I told Mom. She'll
get it on the way home.
I'll bet you a hundred
dollars she's gonna forget.
- Hong Kong dollars or U.S.?
- U.S.
You don't even have a
hundred U.S. dollars.
- Yes, I do.
- Do not.
Hey, let's go help Essie set

You've reached David Starr.
Please leave a message,
and I'll call you back.

Hey, David.
I know you're upset.
Can we just talk?
I I don't know where
you are, what you're doing.
That's not why I'm calling, though.
I just wanted to know if you were, uh
if you were gonna make
it to the dinner tonight.
I would really like it if you came.
You know, I can't handle,
uh, Richard on my own.
Anyway, um
Just if you could
just call and let me know.

It's been, what, like three weeks?
How do you do your laundry?
Can we not talk about it, please?

Where does your wife think
you are, Mr. President?

Woman, leave me alone, please.
- Mm, was she mean to you?
- Ow. Stop it. Stop.
Did she hurt your feelings
and make you leave?
Why are you so sensitive, Mr. President?
Geez, I said stop! Fuck!

If you're being
questioned by the police,
if they want to know where you were
the night a little boy goes missing
and they ask your wife,
you'd hope that she wouldn't
need a second to defend you.
To even consider the
possibility of your involvement.
And now, every time I look at
her, it's all I see: her waver.
Evidence of how she sees me, as
someone capable of taking a child.
And it's fucking ridiculous, isn't it?
I mean, how can anyone think
I had anything to do with Gus?
What do you think I did
with him? Did-did I hide him?
Where? In my jacket?
In-in my car? Maybe
I-I hid him in my office
so Hilary wouldn't find him.
"Where were you, David?
What did you do?"
May-may maybe he's in my suitcase.
Gus, are you in here?
Oh, no, not in here, huh?
I know. Maybe he's in the cupboard.
Gus? Come out wherever you are.
Gussy! Ooh.
Oh, I know. Maybe he's
in the toilet. Gus?
Oh, no, silly Gus. I can't find him.
I don't know where he's gone.
Gussy, you out here?
Damn it, Gus, where are you?
I can't find you anywhere.
Bunny, I don't I don't
know what I've done with him.
I can't find Gus.
I can't find him
anywhere. I can't find
I think he's under the bed.
Oh. No, he's not there.
I don't see him under the sheets.

[MARGARET] Clarke, you're
not listening to me.
He lived downstairs, and
he never said a word to us?
Not one word.
Don't you think that's odd?
I mean, the detective
said from the start
that it was always going
to be someone that we knew
or someone that Gus knew.
I mean, they thought
it was important enough
to show us the photo, but they
didn't think it was important enough
to investigate this guy? Why? Why?
Uh, oh, hold on. Excuse me.
Excu [SIGHS]
I mean [SCOFFS] Anyway,
look at the photograph.
Would you look at it closely, pl Oh.
Can you help me find corn syrup, please?
Sorry, no English.
No, corn syrup.
Corn syrup. Sweetener.
[SPEAKING CANTONESE]
H-Help me find corn syrup.
Corn syrup.
What do you mean, where
am I? I'm at the store,
and I'm looking for corn syrup
for Philip's volcano experiment.
Nobody here in Hong Kong seems
to know what corn syrup is.
I've already looked here.
I've looked here. It's not here.
[SCOFFS] These store
clerks are so unhelpful.
Gus had a scar on his arm, remember?
He fell on the beach in Thailand,
and when the police asked
us for identifying marks,
we-we didn't tell them.
Why? Because we forgot. We forgot.
And what about our other kids?
Will we forget about their
identifying marks, too?
I mean, this is how, this
is how they get away with it.
This is [SIGHS]
Yes. Corn syrup. Thank you.
Thank you.
I got it. I found it.
Philip will be happy.
Anyway, what I'm saying is it's
probably right in front of us,
and we have to pay
attention to the details
[CONVERSATION IN CANTONESE]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[ALAN] Almighty and ever-living God
mercifully grant that we may walk
in the way of His suffering
and also share in His resurrection.
Amen.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
How are the kids?
[LAUGHS]
Beautiful.
God bless.
- Shall we?
- Sure.
I've always been a
"silver linings" person.
Uh you know, no
matter how bad things got,
I could always find a way
to see the cup half full.
But, uh, this is different.
I can't find a shred of light,
but I have to, huh?
I'm really trying to.
For my family.
For my kids.
Do you pray, Clarke?
Outside of any religious
institution, I mean.
No.
But I don't really believe in
God or Jesus, anything like that.
Certainly not now.
I mean, there is no meaning.
There can't be with
what we're going through.
Whenever I feel like I can't feel God
like I can't quite grasp him,
I tell myself that if
if God is everywhere
then God is in this rock.
And when I hold it,
it makes him feel just
a little more tangible.
Now, you can give this rock
whatever meaning you want.
Or don't.
In which case it's just a silly rock.
Either way
now it's yours.

How come you speak Korean?
Korean dramas.
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS]
How come you don't?
Um, I do, a little.
I grew up in the States,
so my parents speak it,
and I respond to them in
English, mostly to annoy them.
It's mostly 'cause all I get
from my mom is [SPEAKS KOREAN]
What does it mean?
Means "no good fortune."
My mom and the other aunties
love to tell me how unlucky I am.
It's 'cause of my face.
What's wrong with your face?
My cheekbones are too sharp,
and my chin is too pointy.
Cuts away all the good.
- No way.
- [LAUGHS]
When I was a teenager, my mom went
to see a fortune teller in New York,
without telling me, of course.
I found this little red
booklet in her underwear drawer.
It was written in Korean and
Chinese, so I couldn't really read it.
I had to ask this random Korean
grandpa on the street what it meant.
He said, "You are riding a
blind horse towards a cliff."
So, yeah, I'm cursed.
You are too pretty to be cursed.
[CHUCKLES]
I've always wanted to
go to New York City.
Have you ever been to Central Perk?
Yeah, everyone's been to Central Park.
No, Central Perk.
The café from a show, Friends.
[CHUCKLES] I think that was
filmed in Burbank on a sound stage.
So it's not real?
Most things in Hollywood aren't.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Well, it's a nice fantasy,
to live in such a big apartment
in a big city with your friends.
We could never afford that here.
So where do you live?
With my family. Most of us do.
I love them, but I would also like
to be able to afford my own place,
to have freedom and independence.
So, my friend is in a band,
and she's going to perform tonight.
It takes only five minute walk.
It's just five minutes. [CHUCKLING]
What's the band? Are they good?
- So, so, so good.

Best in Hong Kong.

David went to the gym
before tonight's feast
to try to work out.
- Yeah.
- He managed to throw out his back.
- Oh, no.
- I know. Cocktail?
Same thing happened
to Richard last year.
Yeah, I was on the floor for a week.
Oh, that's the worst. Here.
Handy, actually. I could
hand the baby to him
and neither of them could go anywhere.

Maybe you could throw your back out.
- Be nice to have you home more.

Mom said she wanted
photos of our markings.
Your office is very roomy.
Plenty of space to add
a children's bedroom.
That's exactly what we did.
Renovated the study into a nursery.
An amazing feat of nature,
considering you don't have a dick
- between you.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Richard.
- Hilary, I shouldn't ask, but
I know what you're going to
say, and no, you shouldn't.
But I only want to know because
I'm genuinely interested.
You never can tell whether
the "no babies" thing
- is a choice or something that's been
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
[NINA] You should consider it
a choice unless told otherwise.
[BETHANY] What's wrong
with asking about kids?
It's like any extracurricular interest.
Soon, it'll be wrong to ask if
someone's ever played tennis or
- Yeah, or had an orgy.

her a serious question.
Well, if you must know
I've never played tennis or had an orgy.

Um, you-you said that you
used to water his plants,
take care of his dog sometimes?
Do you have a key to his apartment?
- Margaret
- You do, don't you?
I'm not gonna help you
break into a dead man's home
so that you can go
through his private things.
I need to know.
And if you were my
friend, you would help me.
That is not fair.
This is what you do.
You-you come up with these
theories. Y-You did it to David.
- You demonized him
- I've already apologized
for what happened to David.
I can't go back and change that.
And you have to understand, I only
told the police what they wanted
You never liked him.
It doesn't matter whether
I liked him or not.
He was sitting and
drinking at a bar, Margaret.
He wasn't kidnapping your son.
He lied about where he was.
That made him a suspect.
What do you want me to do
about that? It's not my fault
- that he's out drinking
- I can't do this with you anymore.
I'm not gonna stand here while you
carelessly ruin another man's life,
especially when he is not
here to defend himself.
Christopher was a good person.
Most people are. I believe that.
I did, too, and look what happened.
All I want is to find Gus.
I don't care about
anyone or anything else.
I really don't.
I don't have any space inside me.
We all want to find Gus.
You know, they say pain can't
be ranked, but that's not true.
My pain is so much worse
than anything you can imagine,

I don't know what I would do if I
didn't have you to raise
eyebrows at across a dinner party.
[BOTH LAUGH]
We had a plan, David.
And I don't know what
that plan is without you.
That's just it. There is no plan.
We can keep trying for a baby.
Hmm?
Oh, what I would've done to have
heard you say that about a year ago.
I just don't think either one of us
are in any position to
be a parent right now.
I'm not ready to lose you.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I'm not ready to lose you, either.
Just promise me that you
won't let me die alone
with only our dead neighbor's
plant to keep me company.
[STIFLED LAUGH]
- And Puri.
- [CHUCKLES]
- A potted plant and Puri.
- [LAUGHS]
Oh, that's sad.
I missed you, you know that?
I'm sorry, too,
for everything that's
happened this past year.
We're better than this, David.
I just feel like I haven't been
able to talk to you recently, uh
And I want to
What?
Excuse me, there's lipstick on
this glass, and it's not mine.
[SCOFFS] He just rolled his eyes at me.
Did you see that?
I might be offended if this
place wasn't such a dump.
- You're unbelievable.
- Oh, come on.
You can't expect me
to drink from a glass
with another woman's lipstick on it.
If this place is such
a dump, why'd you come?
If I'm nothing, if I'm garbage?
What are you talking
about? It was a joke, David.
Stop trying to save me, Hils.
I'm fine. I don't need saving.
I'm trying to save our marriage.
Am I the only one?
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS]
One more. Thanks. [SIGHS]
