Brothers & Sisters s02e15 Episode Script
Moral Hazard
Previously on "brothers & sisters" the, uh, golden plum deal is all signed.
I gave you instructions to tell graham that the deal was off.
Maybe it's time for you to have some faith in my judgment.
Did you know this whole time? Did I know what? That you're my father.
Why don't we file for domestic partnership? That entitles you to the insurance from my firm.
I said I was gonna take care of it, and I will.
David's not my father.
So you're--you're still a walker.
For a second, I couldn't tell if you were happy or--or disappointed.
Why wouldn't I be happy? It's wonderful.
The doctor called me to tell me that none of our embryos are viable, not one.
I'm gonna take the red-eye out tonight.
You're leaving? Golden plum just filed for bankruptcy.
The bank's gonna call in the loan.
$20 million.
Would you stop staring at me? Believe me, I wish I didn't have to.
I-I would like to think that there is still some hope left here.
- Well, we could sell the building.
- Yeah Not that that would save us.
Look, sarah, it's hard enough without you-- without what, saul? Without me being realistic? We have burned through every contact we have trying to find a replacement for golden plum.
It doesn't exist.
We're stuck with all these export contracts, and our loan is about to be called in.
You don't know that.
He's been on the phone for 15 minutes with the bank.
They're probably negotiating right now.
Or he could be on hold.
Saul, how could you? How could you go behind my back and sign off on thideal when I explicitly told you not to? they're not budging.
God.
I can't believe this.
There's nothing they can do.
They c grant an extension on the loan.
Come on.
No, they can't afford to.
The bank is losing $10 million in write-downs every week.
They won't risk it.
So what's the bottom lin uh, we cover the loan in the next Look, look, there-- there has to be another bank.
Who'll give us $20 million in a credit crunch? It's not gonna happen, saul.
all right, can I say something? This is not the end.
The bank can't take your knowledge, your experience.
Is this what you do? You-- you decimate companies and--and then, what, give them a pep talk? Okay, sarah, I--I'm just trying to help.
Then why don't you give us back the money we paid you to get us into this mess? Because I'm a consultant.
I'm not a fortune-teller.
Nobody could've predicted the hedge fund going under.
And just for the record, that money you gave me was to generate ideas, not make decisions.
That's your joB.
I mean, if there's some sort of familial dysfunction when it comes to communicating, that's not my problem.
Actually, graham, none of this is your problem.
Would you please excuse me? I'd like to talk to saul alone.
Fine.
Fine by me.
I gotta tell mom.
No.
No, no.
No.
I'll--I'll do that.
No, I'll do it.
Losing ojai will be hard enough for mom.
She doesn't have to know what you did.
Nobody ever does.
No, saul.
No.
I'm sorry.
I'm still not clear.
- What exactly went wrong with herCycle or-- - oh, honey, honey.
our--our embryos weren't viable.
Once we did the genetic testing, we found they were chromosomally abnormal.
Senator, I know this process can be frustrating.
But next time, we're gonna get kitty to produce fewer eggs, - hopefully get a better quality.
- Okay.
We just need you to take this cycle off, kitty.
Let your body recover.
Oh, so we won't be trying this month? What about the old-fashioned way? Are we allowed to, or is that still out of the question? Honey, I.
V.
F.
Didn't even worK.
But we've been pregnant before.
Well, yeah, but we had a miscarriage.
Uh, first of all, yes, you are allowed to have sex.
As for getting pregnant, I'll be honest, the statistics aren't great.
But as we've discussed, you are ovulating, kitty.
It is your fertile window.
fertile window.
Honey, honey, what about the-- what about the kids? - They just landed.
We have plenty of time.
- Okay.
Wait a minute.
I need to be horizontal.
- Honey, the coffee table? - Yeah.
Remember the time we-- I have to lie there for 30 minutes with my legs in the air.
Okay, what if your kids walk in? Is that the image you want them to see? Bed.
Done.
Oh, my god.
Have I missed that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me, too.
oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
It's the kids.
Robert, I thought you said we had time.
We did, technically.
just a minute! Well, what am i supposed to do? I'm gonna tell 'em you're in the bathroom.
For 30 minutes? You're taking a nap.
- In the bathroom? - Just stay there and, uh, marinate.
so you realize there are 7 year olds that can do this, right? Wait, so I didn't lose my music? You know, I'm no genius bar, but I think that you're all set.
It's resyncing and resyncing.
Cool.
- Hey, at least I can use my camera, though, right? - Yeah.
Actually, you should see my new shots.
Yeah, that--that'd be cool.
Come on.
There's some hanging in my room.
Uh, you know what? I should, uh, I should get going.
- What, you're gonna sync and run? - yeah.
I thought we'd go do something.
Yeah, you know, I-I just had some odds and ends, stuff to do.
That's all.
Justin, you know, we haven't really hung out since we went surfing, and, you know, I just-- I want things to be normal again.
Y-you don't think things are normal? Things are normal.
No, j--no, just, well-- well, what about tomorrow? Do you want to maybe go grab a double-double, see something at the vista? Dinner and a movie? Isn't that what we always do? Justin, is something wrong? No, no, no, no.
Um, I have a date.
Yeah.
Finally.
- Oh, that's awesome.
Great.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
No, great.
Who is she? It's no one.
I-I mean, you know, someone, obviously.
A chick.
A hot chick.
- But she--she's smart, too, and she--she's coolAnd we talk a lot.
- good.
Like, there's a lot of, uh, conversation.
- No, great.
No, no, yeah.
sounds like the compte package.
- Yeah, 'cause that's, like, an important-- She totally is like a complete package.
when do I get to meet her? - Um, you know- - hey, becca.
- Hi, justin.
- Oh, holly, hey.
I'm, uh, I'm gonna go.
Uh, uh, good to see you.
bye.
Have fun.
he sure left in a hurry.
Yeah, guys seem to do that a lot around here.
If you're talking about david, I'm sorry.
It's not exactly what I wanted either.
Uh, there's-- there's no need to explain.
Well, I wish I could.
I haven't spoken to him since he left, not that I should be surprised.
I don't know.
I thought it was gonna be different this time.
I know you liked him.
No, it's no big deal.
Listen, if you-- if you want to talk, there's no reason why we can't be open about this.
No, I think I know enough already.
receivership? You told me ojai was doing well.
We were doing okay.
We thought that if we expanded our operations into china-- china?We're not a multinational conglomerate.
We're a small, family-run fruit business.
Mom, the only people making money right now are exporters.
It's a really tough business climate.
I don't live in a news blackout, sarah.
I can read.
Then you should know that doing nothing was not an option.
China is the biggest market in the world.
- Unfortunately- - unfortunately? Unfortunately? No, no.
Unfortunately is, "oops, I dented the car fender.
I spilled red wine on the sofa.
" Unfortunately is not "I ruined ojai," sarah.
How much do we owe? $20 million.
no, no, no, no.
This is not gonna happen.
You're gonna get on the phone now.
You're gonna call the lawyers, call the banks, call china.
I don't care what time it is.
Tell 'em you want out of the deal, you want your money back.
It doesn't work like that, mother.
We have gone over every possible scenario, every solution.
What does tommy say? I wanted you to be the first to know.
You just said you'd exhausted every possible option.
Well, tommy can't help us.
You haven't even asked.
Asked him what, mother? To put up the vineyard as collateral, to take on all of ojai's debt? Walker landing is a young company.
It would be financial suicide.
What, are you too proud to ask, sarah? Are you too jealous? I'm telling you, mom, he won't do it.
He shouldn't do it.
And even if he wanted to do it, holly would never let him.
Going to them would just-- it would be an exercise in humiliation.
I'm sorry, sarah.
You no longer have a say in it.
proudly presents sync:ßÇÈâÈâ Season02 Episode15 mom, just send a messenger.
Okay, fine.
Send justin.
Yep, he's cheaper.
Okay, just tell him 1:00.
B-- hey, I thought we were having lunch today.
Yes, we--yes, we were, ex--okay, look, sarah's made a really bad deal.
Mom is freaking out.
I really need to get into it, okay? I'm so sorry.
I know we had a plan.
Kevin, it's--it's lunch, not my bar mitzvah.
Yeah, no.
I-I just don't want you to think that I don't respect your time, because I do, and I-- I will--I will totally make this up to you.
Good.
How about changing our lightbulbs for those eco ones I got? As soon as I get home, I'm--I'm--I'm on it.
And you know what? Not just that.
But from now on, no more plastic bottles, no more blasting the A.
C.
, And what else? Uh, using the canvas bags when you go grocery shopping? The canvas bag.
I love that bag.
Okay, kevin, there is no way you care this much about the carbon footprint of this loft.
I wish you did, but you don'T.
I know why you've been acting guilty lately, and I've been letting you go on in this "overapologizing, please scotty" mode, but it's too much.
What do you mean? Kevin, just because I didn't like the incredibly lame way you pseudo proposed to me over a hospital bill doesn't mean I'm not happy with our relationship exactly as it is now.
- You are? - Of course.
We don't need to rush anything.
I love how things have been going.
So stop acting so guilty and go to work.
Okay, look, I'll get home early.
We'll get ougreen on.
Anything you want.
- You're doing it again.
- Sorry.
What exactly do you want us to do? There's thing we can do.
Do you realize how reckless this was, sarah? Nobody could've predicted this hedge fund was gonna go down.
It was the top-- you just didn't do your homework.
Tommy, this isn't helpful.
She was sleeping with graham, okay? She lost all objectivity.
Those are the facts.
I'm sorry.
You're not above sleeping with an employee yourself, tommy.
She was an office manager, okay? I wasn't making multimillion-dollar deals with her.
- Plse let us just stick to the point.
- All right.
So what exactly did you commit to? That's a big investment.
So you must have taken on a lot of contracts to meet that kind of demand.
That's right.
We, um, leased dock space, shipping containers, upped our processing and packaging-- just tell us how much the loan was for.
$20 million.
$20 million? Can I just say, I wasn't the only one behind this deal? Yeah, but you made the call.
- You're the boss, right? - Yes, tommy.
I made the call.
And I'm trying to fix it.
Sorry.
We don't have 20 million bucks just laying around.
- I told you this was a waste of time, mother.
- Sarah, please.
Sit down.
Tommy, listen to me.
I know how hard you've worked to build your business.
I watched your father do the same thing.
But the truth is, there would be no walker landing without ojai foods.
Nora, I empathize with your predicament and ojai's, but this is a huge undertaking.
Do you have some kind of formal proposal that we can look at? We're working one up at the moment.
Well, get it to us as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Anything you can do to help, please.
This is the proposal sarah's asked for, okay? I've marked where she has to sign right here.
This one's for her.
This one's for m-- are you even listening? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, this one, uh, this one goes to sarah, and this one, uh, goes to mom.
No, other way.
You all right? I don't know.
No, I'm not.
There's something wrong with me, bro.
Yeah, that's obvious.
Look, you remember when we went surfing the other day, you and tommy accused me of hiding something about rebecca? Yeah, vaguely.
There was a minute there where--where she wasn't sure if she was our sister.
- She's not? - No, she is.
She--she took a test, bu.
when I--when I found that out, I-I was--I was kinda I was kinda into that idea that she wasn'T.
Why would you not want her to be a part of the family? No, I-I do.
I just I-I wasn't unhappy with the fact that-- that she wasn'T.
- What are you talking about? - God, kevin.
How are you not getting this? Look, I-I know you're gay, but you have eyes, you know.
She--she's not, like, un-unattractive, you know? You're attracted to our sister? - Because I thought she wasn'T.
That's what I'm saying.
- shut up.
my god, you are sick.
What - have you t- - no!No! Of course not.
Look, I swear, I only thought of this when-- when this whole paternity thing came up, and it was, like, just a-- like a moment, and--and now I'm freaked out because what if it happens again? You have to stay away from her.
I know.
I'm trying to-- to avoid her, but she keeps wanting to hang out.
Like, kev, I'm making up, like, hot chicks that I'm supposedly dating so I can avoid her.
- Stop talking.
- I told you.
I'm the most disgusting person in the world.
Okay, okay.
Let's--let's just-- let's just talk about this rationally.
It's-- it's not entirely abnormal that you could possibly have these feelings, okay? You weren't raised together.
You--your--you know, you met as adults, and you clearly have boundary issues.
No, I know, I know.
So you just need a lile time-out to stop thinking about inbreeding.
- Ke-kevin! - What? I'm trying to be sup-- why did you even tell me this? Because you asked me, kevin! You know what? I'm j-- I'm just gonna tell her.
I mean, I'm gonna get it out there and make sure everything's okay- - Absolutely not.
-what? Do not talk to her about-- don't talk to anyone about this.
Seriously, I love you, and I get that because she's not a sister, you might have thought things might have worked out a-a little more complicated, but she is, okay? So you just have to put that in a box or behind you or somewhere and forget about it, and never, ever speak of this again.
Look, kev-- Kevin, I just-- - Mom and saraH.
- Yeah, mom and sarah.
Can I poke my head in, or are you gonna chop it off? No, I don't have the energy.
So how'd it go at walker landing? Awful.
I'm glad my father's dead.
It'd kill him to see what a mistake it wa leaving me in charge.
Oh, come on.
If there's someone to blame, it's your uncle.
Why are you taking the fall? It's not that simple.
Well-- it's family.
Yeah, ties, you know, but blind allegiance-- look, uh, graham, I don't expect you to understand.
- Now don't do that.
- What? Don't try to shut me out.
Shut you out of what, graham? Look around you.
There's no money left.
- There's nothing left to consult on.
- Oh, come on.
You know what? Just stop.
Cut it out.
You know I'm not talking about my next paycheck.
I care about you.
Graham, I don't know what I'm feeling right now.
Don't put pressure on me.
I didn't mean to.
It's just, uh you don't have to do this to yourself.
Hello? Nora? Rebecca.
Uh, what are you doing here? Uh, I was just returning your mom's mini chop.
I love using it, but I hate cleaning it.
wait, what are you doing? Uh, just making a sandwich? Don't you have a date? Oh, yeah.
Um, she, uh, she had to cancel, so well, why didn't you call me? Oh, I'm--I'm really okay with it.
Thanks.
No, about doing something.
I mean, we talked about plans.
Oh, rit.
Are you sure nothing's bothering you? No, I'm good.
I'm good.
Let's go to the movies.
So I've gone over your proposal.
Come on, kevin.
Just yell at me, please.
Far too easy.
I'd rather yell at that idiot consultant of yours.
Oh, come oN.
He was just doing what he's paid to do.
Yeah, catastrophically.
Please tell me you fired him.
I think he knows he's out of a job.
You haven't? He still has loose ends to tie up.
What, and--and if he didn't, you'd--you'd somehow create them, because, incredibly, you still have feelings for this guy.
I didn't say that.
You know what? I am gonna yell at you, actually, because after what he did, he shouldn't be within a mile of this place.
Are you still sleeping with him? No, nothing's happened since th-- wow, how restrained of you.
What's wrong with you people? Look, kevin, I had a fling-- one fling-- after my incredibly excruciating divorce.
And yes, for a minute, I was I was having fun.
I was actually having a good time.
Come on, kevin.
Isn't there anything that you can do to get us out of these contracts? Some loophole, anything? Not that I can see.
you needed me? Oh, saul.
Thank god you're here.
Maybe you can find something in this mess.
Look at this.
These are william's old files.
Yes, I dragged them out of storage.
I thought maybe there was an asset or an account that we overlooked-- anything that could help undo this disaster that sarah's created.
I never thought she was capable of doing something like this.
She didn't do it.
Oh, saul please don'T.
You always stick up for her.
I appreciate it, but not now.
She didn't do it.
This is my fau.
I did this.
What are you talking about? She didn't want to tell you.
she wanted to go slower, she wanted to be more cautious.
Sarah told me to kill the deal.
Instead, I signed off on it myself.
You signed off on it, after she said no? I-I thought I saw an opportunity, you know, one that was gonna benefit the company and also maybe change my life.
Where are you going? What--what are you doing? I've gotta talk to sarah.
My god, saul, what have you done? Um, so we should probably just get the combo to share, right? Uh, actually, I like to get my own.
But it's cheaper the other way.
Yeah, like $1.
Besides, I got, like, this-- this throat tickle thing.
You know, your--your hand's in, it's in your mouth, and it's like a bucket of germs, you know? So let'S okay, popcorn nazi.
You two together? - Yeah.
- No.
I mean, ac-actually, we're-- we're paying separately.
Right, yeah, of course.
Go ahead.
I have to hand it to your sister.
This proposal is thorough.
Far-fetched, but thorough.
$20 million.
- It's not your mistake, tommy.
- I know.
But how would my dad have felt if I just stood by and watched ojai go under? Your family will be fine.
What about the people that work there? But people depend on us here, too.
If we go in and ve ojai and something would happen to walker landing, we can't even go to a bank.
We would be completely overextended.
I don't know how to tell them.
So put it on me.
where's your popcorn? I finished it.
You know what? Why don't you just go ahead and take it? I'm done with it.
It's all yours.
- What, does my breath smell or something? - What? No.
I'm just-- I'm watching the movie.
Will you just not touch me? - justin- - sorry.
be quiet.
- What is going on with you? - Nothing.
- Sorry.
- Will you just talk? where are you going? The bathroom.
I don't know.
Stop following me.
Following you? You're my ride.
I need some space, okay? Justin, you've been acting like I repulse you.
- I mean, what did I do? - Nothing.
Nothing.
Is it--is it that girl? Because I get it.
- If you don't have enough time for me, I-I totally get it.
- There's no girl.
What about the hot chick? I made her up because I didn't want to go to the movies with you.
So what, you just decided you didn't want to hang out with me? Like all of a sudden, I'm this annoying, tagalong little sister? You don't feel like my sister.
- Justin, I told you- - I know.
But when you were talking about david maybe being your father, something-- I-I don't know what--happened, where I was hoping that we weren'T that we're not related.
And I had this weird moment ere I thought I had feelings for you, okay? And I know it's sick and it's wrong, but it was just a moment.
And I need to make sure that doesn't happen again, but it doesn't help when you're just-- are around me all the time.
Do you-- do you understand? - Oh, god.
Look, I'm sorry.
- I gotta go.
Rebecca, no-- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
This Mom, what are you doing here? Oh, sarah.
Saul told me everything.
He, uh, wasn't supposed to do that.
Well, why didn't you tell me? You let me say such horrible things to you.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Well, that's not true, mom.
I asked saul to pass on a message, like some 16-year-old girl with a crush.
- Well, you trusted him to handle it.
- It doesn't matter.
And you've got every right to be furious with me.
I'm furious with me.
I wouldn't be surprised if none of you talked to me ever again.
Oh, sarah.
You know what? We're all grown-ups.
We can take care of ourselves.
Maybe we won't be as well-off, but we'll survive.
This is dad's legacy, mom.
He put me in charge.
He left it up to me.
Well, maybe he shouldn't have, sarah.
Ojai was his company, not yours.
You should never have been pressured to walk in his footsteps.
He never gave you that choice.
He picked you.
From the time you were a little girl, he saw something in you.
And I I let him have you.
Sarah, listen to me.
If ojai goes down maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's time to let it go.
And then finally, you could be your own person.
I am, mom.
Dad didn't force this on me.
I wanted it.
I always did.
Where you been? I didn't feel like coming home.
Oh, rebecca.
What is going on? You keep making these digs at me every chance you can get.
What are you so angry about? - Really, you don't know? - No.
David splits for no reason, I've been avoiding you since he left, and--and you still can't figure it out? I took a paternity test.
Yeah, that's right.
I-I took some gross stubble from david's razor and--and walked into some lab, and guess what? I never knew.
I-I thought william-- yeah, but you knew there was a possibility he wasn'T.
I mean, mom, you were clearly whoring it up with both of them.
I asked you, i begged you to tell me if there was even a chance that david was my father.
- And you--and you lied to my face! - But you already thought that william was your father.
- I was trying to protect you- - no, you weren'T.
You were protecting your-- your business and your money.
Our money.
That's right.
I didn't want that threatened.
I still don'T.
I want you to have all the things that I didn't have.
Oh, that's why you let william walker die thinking that I was his kid? How could you do that? He put us up in this house.
He put you in his will.
You--you let his family believe.
You let me believe.
You wanted to believe.
How could you do that to someone that you love? Then again, you know what? Maybe you're incapable of loving anybody.
I mean, look how everybody leaves you.
You sent him away, didn't you--david? That's why he left.
- You know, at least he cared.
- What? He knew what that family meant to me.
I walked into that house and--and looked at those photographs-- some--some lost girl looking for roots-- and--and they accepted me and they loved me.
You know, you are right.
I-I cannot compete with the walkers.
No, you can't compete.
You're not a mother, not like nora.
Nora had a husband and a family and money.
I scraped together everything for us.
I took care of you every single day of your life.
Do you know I wasn't much older than you when I got pregnant? Can you imagine that, being here by yourself and trying to support a child? But I did it.
And if I had to give up some of my dreams, so be it, because from then on, I put you first.
And now you have the audacity to treat me like a second-class citizen? And I allowed it because I knew that it was not easy for you.
but I am done with that.
From now on, if you want to hurt me, you hurt me from somewhere else.
I want you out of this house.
Fine.
I'm gone.
well, did you at least get to eat something organic? No, I just had some pretzels.
Yes, I know.
Hey, c-can you hang on.
Hold on one second.
hello? Yeah, I'll accept the charges.
Hello, saul? Oh, kevin, thank god.
What--what's going on? Are you okay? I'm at the police station.
I need you to come down here and get me.
so what happened? I don't know.
I I was almost home, kevin.
I was just, like, two blocks from my house.
I make that turn every day.
I don't know how I missed it.
Your blood alcohol is above the legal limit.
That's how.
I'm sorry.
I seem to be nothing but a disappointment these days.
Oh, stop it.
At least no one got hurt.
That's not the tru, kevin.
Everyone was hurt.
I hurt everyone.
- I hurt nora, sarah- - everybody screws up, saul.
But it's no excuse to treat yourself with absolutely no respect.
Kevin, I was fingerprinted and locked in a drunk tank.
What is there left to respect? How about me? How about the people who love you? Whatever it is you did to ojai, it's no excuse to drive your car into a tree.
I didn't risk ojai foods to make money, kevin.
I did it to try and save my life.
I want out.
I want to be free.
Just say it.
I love you, and it's okay.
I'm a gay man, kevin.
Tell me how I can be a gay man at my age? I don't know how to be a gay man at my age.
But I do understand, you're afraid.
I want my time back.
That's the one trick none of us can pull off.
Saul, if you think this family is gonna sit back and watch you waste the time that you do have punishing yourself, then you're mistaken.
- Come on.
Let's get you home.
- Okay.
- thank you, kevin.
I, uh- - I know.
I know, uncle saul.
Didn't get much sleep last night, huh? No not really.
I reread the proposal last night, and maybe we've been looking at this the wrong way.
Really? What, uh, what changed your mind? I think we need to ask ourselves what's the right thing to do? We've, uh, given it a lot of thought, and, um, we want to help.
Thank you, tommy.
I knew you wouldn't turn your back on ojai.
Well, you should thank holly as well.
She found a way to make this work for all of us.
I think this is what william would've wanted.
Oh, god.
I-I can't believe it.
I honestly did not think Thank you.
And I promise, we will do everything we can to get you out from under this loan as soon as possible.
Well, we were envisioning a dierent type of relationship, - something more permanent than a loan.
- Okay.
Considering all the risk is on us, we, uh, we thought it'd be best if ojai foods and walker landing merged.
A merger was never on the table.
We reviewed your proposal, and we need more incentive to step in.
Of course you do.
Playing the role of good samaritan-- that's not really you, is it? I don't think now is a good time for you to be insulting me.
Of course not.
How exactly would this work? Who would run the company? Well, sarah and i would be copresidents.
Well, that sounds doable, doesn't it? What about you, holly? Holly will assume the role of chairman and C.
E.
O.
in the event that you and i don't agree on something, she'll have the casting vote.
- You make the final decisions? - This is an ambush.
Tommy, if you want me out, just say it.
I'll do it to save ojai.
- This is not an ambush.
- Then what is it? It's business.
You owe a substantial amount of money, and you need us.
Now I have no intention of micromanaging ojai foods.
We see this merger as an opportunity to grow walker landing.
Now if we can do that and save your father's company, we're in.
Tommy, do you believe this is the right thing to do? Mom we're about to put up walker landing as collateral to satisfy the bank.
Okay, I wish I could say this was all about family, but it's not.
I mean, we have to make this advantageous for both companies.
Otherwise, we're taking on all the risk with none of the payoff.
I can understand that.
Can you, sarah? Let me make this clear.
This is not a negotiation.
A merger is our only offer.
Well, if it means keeping ojai in the family, then I would like to see this arrangement work.
Sarah? Please.
Okay.
Okay.
Rebecca.
C-come in.
Sorry.
I-I should've called.
no, it's okay.
I was-- I was gonna ll you to a--to apologize, but I-I didn't know if you wanted to hear from me.
Are you okay? No.
No, I'm not.
There's a lot that's been going on, and I was hoping that maybe we could talk.
Look, I'm so sorry that I dumped this garbage on you, okay? I don't--I don't want you to--to--to worry - or--or not want to be around me - no.
Because what-whatever I felt, it is gone.
You know, it's--it's me, and--and I feel like whenever I get myself, like, going again, I end up doing something stupid and hurting the people I love.
- Justin, please-- - okay, no, it's not that I love you like that oh, god.
You know what? Look my point is, I-i just want you to forget it.
It was stupid, and I let myself think that for a second, and it's like whatever sick part of me felt that is over.
I've--I've fixed it.
I mean, you know, I--you're my sister.
No, I'm not.
We're not related.
Your dad's not my dad.
But the test-- you--you took-- you took a test.
- You said that david was- - I know.
I-I-I was-- I was afraid to tell you.
So you lied to me? No, I'm sorry.
It's just, I-I--you've all become like family to me, and--and I really didn't want to lose that, and I know that you said that everything would stay the same, but-- - I thought you were different.
- What? Than your mom, but you're not.
You're exactly the same.
You both lie.
- Justin, no.
- How could--how could you do this to me, rebecca? You promised me that you were gonna tell me the truth, and I bel--I believed you.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean- - just go! I think you should go.
Go.
******* 'Cause you know we only have a half an hour left in the fertile window.
Yeah, I know, but I think we tried enough.
I think--I think we're-- we're good.
yeah, 'cause, you know, it really does start to feel like a job, doesn't it? I'm sorry.
I just-- you know what? I don't think I really wanted to try this month.
Really? Well, I mean, I I did, but I just really didn't, I guess.
It's just that the next part is so miserable, you know, all--all-- all the obsessing.
I hope and I pray and then I just get all disappointed and crushed again.
Well, we gave it a really good try.
We have to hope.
Honey, I I don't know how much longer I can do it.
Hey, this is gonna happen.
I don't know how, I don't know when, but this is gonna happen.
- did you hear the news? - A merger.
It'S it's not a bad idea.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see, huh? So why do I get the feeling that's not what you've come to talk to me about? - I can't do this, graham.
- This? Us.
Yeah.
Uh, I guess it was crazy to think that after everything-- - I mean, you, me, the deal- - it's not about the deal.
It's not? It was a good deal.
I guess I just sense that if things got complicated, we'd have to face up to who we are.
You mean who I am.
Well, uh, I am a consultant, and, uh, you make the decisions.
So what do you advise we do? Walk away from the table.
Justin? Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
Ojai's gonna be okay.
They're merging with walker landing.
And holly made it happen.
Can you believe it? - I never thought I'd actually be grateful to her.
- She was lying, mom.
No, no, no.
They signed the papers.
I was there.
- Sarah even-- - not about the business.
About rebecca being our sister.
What? It was all a lie.
She took a test.
Dad wasn't her father.
She's not a walker.
She never was.
- scotty? - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Allow me.
you changed the lightbulbs.
- Don't sound so disappointed.
- No, I'm not.
It's just, you know, I was supposed to do that.
Well, you seemed a little stressed.
- So I'm giving you a break.
- Really? - I can't think why.
- That bad? Oh, well, let me see first I was dealing with the family business being obliterated when justin announced he has, on occasion, been attracted to rebecca, our sister.
- What? - Believe me, it goes on.
Then sarah calls me over because she's agonizing over dating the guy whose deal obliterated the family business.
But--thank you-- the Pi¨¨ce de r¨¦sistance-- saul, who signed off on the deal that got the business obliterated, after being arrested for D.
U.
I.
For plowing his car into a tree 'cause apparently he's lost the will to live, finally came out to me.
Oh, my god.
Is he okay? He will be, I think.
But, you know, it's like all these crazy people in my mily are in this insane free fall and completely incapable of being happy.
And then I look at saul, who who's missed his life entirely and I realize how lucky I am because I get to come home to someone who is kind and caring and who changes the lightbulbs.
And marry me.
what? I mean it.
I-I don't want to wait.
I don't want--I want to make this official.
- Because I changed the lightbulbs? - No.
no.
Well, yeah, kinda.
Because scotty, that's who you are.
I am completely, completely in love with you.
I even love the things about you that I hate because you make me feel like I don't have to be anyone other than who I am.
And to me, that feels like family, and that's what I want us to be.
I want us to be a family because that never ends.
I'm doing this all wrong.
Scotty I am asking you will you please marry me? yes.
yes, kevin, I'll marry you.
proudly presents sync:ßÇÈâÈâ
I gave you instructions to tell graham that the deal was off.
Maybe it's time for you to have some faith in my judgment.
Did you know this whole time? Did I know what? That you're my father.
Why don't we file for domestic partnership? That entitles you to the insurance from my firm.
I said I was gonna take care of it, and I will.
David's not my father.
So you're--you're still a walker.
For a second, I couldn't tell if you were happy or--or disappointed.
Why wouldn't I be happy? It's wonderful.
The doctor called me to tell me that none of our embryos are viable, not one.
I'm gonna take the red-eye out tonight.
You're leaving? Golden plum just filed for bankruptcy.
The bank's gonna call in the loan.
$20 million.
Would you stop staring at me? Believe me, I wish I didn't have to.
I-I would like to think that there is still some hope left here.
- Well, we could sell the building.
- Yeah Not that that would save us.
Look, sarah, it's hard enough without you-- without what, saul? Without me being realistic? We have burned through every contact we have trying to find a replacement for golden plum.
It doesn't exist.
We're stuck with all these export contracts, and our loan is about to be called in.
You don't know that.
He's been on the phone for 15 minutes with the bank.
They're probably negotiating right now.
Or he could be on hold.
Saul, how could you? How could you go behind my back and sign off on thideal when I explicitly told you not to? they're not budging.
God.
I can't believe this.
There's nothing they can do.
They c grant an extension on the loan.
Come on.
No, they can't afford to.
The bank is losing $10 million in write-downs every week.
They won't risk it.
So what's the bottom lin uh, we cover the loan in the next Look, look, there-- there has to be another bank.
Who'll give us $20 million in a credit crunch? It's not gonna happen, saul.
all right, can I say something? This is not the end.
The bank can't take your knowledge, your experience.
Is this what you do? You-- you decimate companies and--and then, what, give them a pep talk? Okay, sarah, I--I'm just trying to help.
Then why don't you give us back the money we paid you to get us into this mess? Because I'm a consultant.
I'm not a fortune-teller.
Nobody could've predicted the hedge fund going under.
And just for the record, that money you gave me was to generate ideas, not make decisions.
That's your joB.
I mean, if there's some sort of familial dysfunction when it comes to communicating, that's not my problem.
Actually, graham, none of this is your problem.
Would you please excuse me? I'd like to talk to saul alone.
Fine.
Fine by me.
I gotta tell mom.
No.
No, no.
No.
I'll--I'll do that.
No, I'll do it.
Losing ojai will be hard enough for mom.
She doesn't have to know what you did.
Nobody ever does.
No, saul.
No.
I'm sorry.
I'm still not clear.
- What exactly went wrong with herCycle or-- - oh, honey, honey.
our--our embryos weren't viable.
Once we did the genetic testing, we found they were chromosomally abnormal.
Senator, I know this process can be frustrating.
But next time, we're gonna get kitty to produce fewer eggs, - hopefully get a better quality.
- Okay.
We just need you to take this cycle off, kitty.
Let your body recover.
Oh, so we won't be trying this month? What about the old-fashioned way? Are we allowed to, or is that still out of the question? Honey, I.
V.
F.
Didn't even worK.
But we've been pregnant before.
Well, yeah, but we had a miscarriage.
Uh, first of all, yes, you are allowed to have sex.
As for getting pregnant, I'll be honest, the statistics aren't great.
But as we've discussed, you are ovulating, kitty.
It is your fertile window.
fertile window.
Honey, honey, what about the-- what about the kids? - They just landed.
We have plenty of time.
- Okay.
Wait a minute.
I need to be horizontal.
- Honey, the coffee table? - Yeah.
Remember the time we-- I have to lie there for 30 minutes with my legs in the air.
Okay, what if your kids walk in? Is that the image you want them to see? Bed.
Done.
Oh, my god.
Have I missed that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Me, too.
oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
It's the kids.
Robert, I thought you said we had time.
We did, technically.
just a minute! Well, what am i supposed to do? I'm gonna tell 'em you're in the bathroom.
For 30 minutes? You're taking a nap.
- In the bathroom? - Just stay there and, uh, marinate.
so you realize there are 7 year olds that can do this, right? Wait, so I didn't lose my music? You know, I'm no genius bar, but I think that you're all set.
It's resyncing and resyncing.
Cool.
- Hey, at least I can use my camera, though, right? - Yeah.
Actually, you should see my new shots.
Yeah, that--that'd be cool.
Come on.
There's some hanging in my room.
Uh, you know what? I should, uh, I should get going.
- What, you're gonna sync and run? - yeah.
I thought we'd go do something.
Yeah, you know, I-I just had some odds and ends, stuff to do.
That's all.
Justin, you know, we haven't really hung out since we went surfing, and, you know, I just-- I want things to be normal again.
Y-you don't think things are normal? Things are normal.
No, j--no, just, well-- well, what about tomorrow? Do you want to maybe go grab a double-double, see something at the vista? Dinner and a movie? Isn't that what we always do? Justin, is something wrong? No, no, no, no.
Um, I have a date.
Yeah.
Finally.
- Oh, that's awesome.
Great.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
No, great.
Who is she? It's no one.
I-I mean, you know, someone, obviously.
A chick.
A hot chick.
- But she--she's smart, too, and she--she's coolAnd we talk a lot.
- good.
Like, there's a lot of, uh, conversation.
- No, great.
No, no, yeah.
sounds like the compte package.
- Yeah, 'cause that's, like, an important-- She totally is like a complete package.
when do I get to meet her? - Um, you know- - hey, becca.
- Hi, justin.
- Oh, holly, hey.
I'm, uh, I'm gonna go.
Uh, uh, good to see you.
bye.
Have fun.
he sure left in a hurry.
Yeah, guys seem to do that a lot around here.
If you're talking about david, I'm sorry.
It's not exactly what I wanted either.
Uh, there's-- there's no need to explain.
Well, I wish I could.
I haven't spoken to him since he left, not that I should be surprised.
I don't know.
I thought it was gonna be different this time.
I know you liked him.
No, it's no big deal.
Listen, if you-- if you want to talk, there's no reason why we can't be open about this.
No, I think I know enough already.
receivership? You told me ojai was doing well.
We were doing okay.
We thought that if we expanded our operations into china-- china?We're not a multinational conglomerate.
We're a small, family-run fruit business.
Mom, the only people making money right now are exporters.
It's a really tough business climate.
I don't live in a news blackout, sarah.
I can read.
Then you should know that doing nothing was not an option.
China is the biggest market in the world.
- Unfortunately- - unfortunately? Unfortunately? No, no.
Unfortunately is, "oops, I dented the car fender.
I spilled red wine on the sofa.
" Unfortunately is not "I ruined ojai," sarah.
How much do we owe? $20 million.
no, no, no, no.
This is not gonna happen.
You're gonna get on the phone now.
You're gonna call the lawyers, call the banks, call china.
I don't care what time it is.
Tell 'em you want out of the deal, you want your money back.
It doesn't work like that, mother.
We have gone over every possible scenario, every solution.
What does tommy say? I wanted you to be the first to know.
You just said you'd exhausted every possible option.
Well, tommy can't help us.
You haven't even asked.
Asked him what, mother? To put up the vineyard as collateral, to take on all of ojai's debt? Walker landing is a young company.
It would be financial suicide.
What, are you too proud to ask, sarah? Are you too jealous? I'm telling you, mom, he won't do it.
He shouldn't do it.
And even if he wanted to do it, holly would never let him.
Going to them would just-- it would be an exercise in humiliation.
I'm sorry, sarah.
You no longer have a say in it.
proudly presents sync:ßÇÈâÈâ Season02 Episode15 mom, just send a messenger.
Okay, fine.
Send justin.
Yep, he's cheaper.
Okay, just tell him 1:00.
B-- hey, I thought we were having lunch today.
Yes, we--yes, we were, ex--okay, look, sarah's made a really bad deal.
Mom is freaking out.
I really need to get into it, okay? I'm so sorry.
I know we had a plan.
Kevin, it's--it's lunch, not my bar mitzvah.
Yeah, no.
I-I just don't want you to think that I don't respect your time, because I do, and I-- I will--I will totally make this up to you.
Good.
How about changing our lightbulbs for those eco ones I got? As soon as I get home, I'm--I'm--I'm on it.
And you know what? Not just that.
But from now on, no more plastic bottles, no more blasting the A.
C.
, And what else? Uh, using the canvas bags when you go grocery shopping? The canvas bag.
I love that bag.
Okay, kevin, there is no way you care this much about the carbon footprint of this loft.
I wish you did, but you don'T.
I know why you've been acting guilty lately, and I've been letting you go on in this "overapologizing, please scotty" mode, but it's too much.
What do you mean? Kevin, just because I didn't like the incredibly lame way you pseudo proposed to me over a hospital bill doesn't mean I'm not happy with our relationship exactly as it is now.
- You are? - Of course.
We don't need to rush anything.
I love how things have been going.
So stop acting so guilty and go to work.
Okay, look, I'll get home early.
We'll get ougreen on.
Anything you want.
- You're doing it again.
- Sorry.
What exactly do you want us to do? There's thing we can do.
Do you realize how reckless this was, sarah? Nobody could've predicted this hedge fund was gonna go down.
It was the top-- you just didn't do your homework.
Tommy, this isn't helpful.
She was sleeping with graham, okay? She lost all objectivity.
Those are the facts.
I'm sorry.
You're not above sleeping with an employee yourself, tommy.
She was an office manager, okay? I wasn't making multimillion-dollar deals with her.
- Plse let us just stick to the point.
- All right.
So what exactly did you commit to? That's a big investment.
So you must have taken on a lot of contracts to meet that kind of demand.
That's right.
We, um, leased dock space, shipping containers, upped our processing and packaging-- just tell us how much the loan was for.
$20 million.
$20 million? Can I just say, I wasn't the only one behind this deal? Yeah, but you made the call.
- You're the boss, right? - Yes, tommy.
I made the call.
And I'm trying to fix it.
Sorry.
We don't have 20 million bucks just laying around.
- I told you this was a waste of time, mother.
- Sarah, please.
Sit down.
Tommy, listen to me.
I know how hard you've worked to build your business.
I watched your father do the same thing.
But the truth is, there would be no walker landing without ojai foods.
Nora, I empathize with your predicament and ojai's, but this is a huge undertaking.
Do you have some kind of formal proposal that we can look at? We're working one up at the moment.
Well, get it to us as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Anything you can do to help, please.
This is the proposal sarah's asked for, okay? I've marked where she has to sign right here.
This one's for her.
This one's for m-- are you even listening? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, this one, uh, this one goes to sarah, and this one, uh, goes to mom.
No, other way.
You all right? I don't know.
No, I'm not.
There's something wrong with me, bro.
Yeah, that's obvious.
Look, you remember when we went surfing the other day, you and tommy accused me of hiding something about rebecca? Yeah, vaguely.
There was a minute there where--where she wasn't sure if she was our sister.
- She's not? - No, she is.
She--she took a test, bu.
when I--when I found that out, I-I was--I was kinda I was kinda into that idea that she wasn'T.
Why would you not want her to be a part of the family? No, I-I do.
I just I-I wasn't unhappy with the fact that-- that she wasn'T.
- What are you talking about? - God, kevin.
How are you not getting this? Look, I-I know you're gay, but you have eyes, you know.
She--she's not, like, un-unattractive, you know? You're attracted to our sister? - Because I thought she wasn'T.
That's what I'm saying.
- shut up.
my god, you are sick.
What - have you t- - no!No! Of course not.
Look, I swear, I only thought of this when-- when this whole paternity thing came up, and it was, like, just a-- like a moment, and--and now I'm freaked out because what if it happens again? You have to stay away from her.
I know.
I'm trying to-- to avoid her, but she keeps wanting to hang out.
Like, kev, I'm making up, like, hot chicks that I'm supposedly dating so I can avoid her.
- Stop talking.
- I told you.
I'm the most disgusting person in the world.
Okay, okay.
Let's--let's just-- let's just talk about this rationally.
It's-- it's not entirely abnormal that you could possibly have these feelings, okay? You weren't raised together.
You--your--you know, you met as adults, and you clearly have boundary issues.
No, I know, I know.
So you just need a lile time-out to stop thinking about inbreeding.
- Ke-kevin! - What? I'm trying to be sup-- why did you even tell me this? Because you asked me, kevin! You know what? I'm j-- I'm just gonna tell her.
I mean, I'm gonna get it out there and make sure everything's okay- - Absolutely not.
-what? Do not talk to her about-- don't talk to anyone about this.
Seriously, I love you, and I get that because she's not a sister, you might have thought things might have worked out a-a little more complicated, but she is, okay? So you just have to put that in a box or behind you or somewhere and forget about it, and never, ever speak of this again.
Look, kev-- Kevin, I just-- - Mom and saraH.
- Yeah, mom and sarah.
Can I poke my head in, or are you gonna chop it off? No, I don't have the energy.
So how'd it go at walker landing? Awful.
I'm glad my father's dead.
It'd kill him to see what a mistake it wa leaving me in charge.
Oh, come on.
If there's someone to blame, it's your uncle.
Why are you taking the fall? It's not that simple.
Well-- it's family.
Yeah, ties, you know, but blind allegiance-- look, uh, graham, I don't expect you to understand.
- Now don't do that.
- What? Don't try to shut me out.
Shut you out of what, graham? Look around you.
There's no money left.
- There's nothing left to consult on.
- Oh, come on.
You know what? Just stop.
Cut it out.
You know I'm not talking about my next paycheck.
I care about you.
Graham, I don't know what I'm feeling right now.
Don't put pressure on me.
I didn't mean to.
It's just, uh you don't have to do this to yourself.
Hello? Nora? Rebecca.
Uh, what are you doing here? Uh, I was just returning your mom's mini chop.
I love using it, but I hate cleaning it.
wait, what are you doing? Uh, just making a sandwich? Don't you have a date? Oh, yeah.
Um, she, uh, she had to cancel, so well, why didn't you call me? Oh, I'm--I'm really okay with it.
Thanks.
No, about doing something.
I mean, we talked about plans.
Oh, rit.
Are you sure nothing's bothering you? No, I'm good.
I'm good.
Let's go to the movies.
So I've gone over your proposal.
Come on, kevin.
Just yell at me, please.
Far too easy.
I'd rather yell at that idiot consultant of yours.
Oh, come oN.
He was just doing what he's paid to do.
Yeah, catastrophically.
Please tell me you fired him.
I think he knows he's out of a job.
You haven't? He still has loose ends to tie up.
What, and--and if he didn't, you'd--you'd somehow create them, because, incredibly, you still have feelings for this guy.
I didn't say that.
You know what? I am gonna yell at you, actually, because after what he did, he shouldn't be within a mile of this place.
Are you still sleeping with him? No, nothing's happened since th-- wow, how restrained of you.
What's wrong with you people? Look, kevin, I had a fling-- one fling-- after my incredibly excruciating divorce.
And yes, for a minute, I was I was having fun.
I was actually having a good time.
Come on, kevin.
Isn't there anything that you can do to get us out of these contracts? Some loophole, anything? Not that I can see.
you needed me? Oh, saul.
Thank god you're here.
Maybe you can find something in this mess.
Look at this.
These are william's old files.
Yes, I dragged them out of storage.
I thought maybe there was an asset or an account that we overlooked-- anything that could help undo this disaster that sarah's created.
I never thought she was capable of doing something like this.
She didn't do it.
Oh, saul please don'T.
You always stick up for her.
I appreciate it, but not now.
She didn't do it.
This is my fau.
I did this.
What are you talking about? She didn't want to tell you.
she wanted to go slower, she wanted to be more cautious.
Sarah told me to kill the deal.
Instead, I signed off on it myself.
You signed off on it, after she said no? I-I thought I saw an opportunity, you know, one that was gonna benefit the company and also maybe change my life.
Where are you going? What--what are you doing? I've gotta talk to sarah.
My god, saul, what have you done? Um, so we should probably just get the combo to share, right? Uh, actually, I like to get my own.
But it's cheaper the other way.
Yeah, like $1.
Besides, I got, like, this-- this throat tickle thing.
You know, your--your hand's in, it's in your mouth, and it's like a bucket of germs, you know? So let'S okay, popcorn nazi.
You two together? - Yeah.
- No.
I mean, ac-actually, we're-- we're paying separately.
Right, yeah, of course.
Go ahead.
I have to hand it to your sister.
This proposal is thorough.
Far-fetched, but thorough.
$20 million.
- It's not your mistake, tommy.
- I know.
But how would my dad have felt if I just stood by and watched ojai go under? Your family will be fine.
What about the people that work there? But people depend on us here, too.
If we go in and ve ojai and something would happen to walker landing, we can't even go to a bank.
We would be completely overextended.
I don't know how to tell them.
So put it on me.
where's your popcorn? I finished it.
You know what? Why don't you just go ahead and take it? I'm done with it.
It's all yours.
- What, does my breath smell or something? - What? No.
I'm just-- I'm watching the movie.
Will you just not touch me? - justin- - sorry.
be quiet.
- What is going on with you? - Nothing.
- Sorry.
- Will you just talk? where are you going? The bathroom.
I don't know.
Stop following me.
Following you? You're my ride.
I need some space, okay? Justin, you've been acting like I repulse you.
- I mean, what did I do? - Nothing.
Nothing.
Is it--is it that girl? Because I get it.
- If you don't have enough time for me, I-I totally get it.
- There's no girl.
What about the hot chick? I made her up because I didn't want to go to the movies with you.
So what, you just decided you didn't want to hang out with me? Like all of a sudden, I'm this annoying, tagalong little sister? You don't feel like my sister.
- Justin, I told you- - I know.
But when you were talking about david maybe being your father, something-- I-I don't know what--happened, where I was hoping that we weren'T that we're not related.
And I had this weird moment ere I thought I had feelings for you, okay? And I know it's sick and it's wrong, but it was just a moment.
And I need to make sure that doesn't happen again, but it doesn't help when you're just-- are around me all the time.
Do you-- do you understand? - Oh, god.
Look, I'm sorry.
- I gotta go.
Rebecca, no-- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
This Mom, what are you doing here? Oh, sarah.
Saul told me everything.
He, uh, wasn't supposed to do that.
Well, why didn't you tell me? You let me say such horrible things to you.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Well, that's not true, mom.
I asked saul to pass on a message, like some 16-year-old girl with a crush.
- Well, you trusted him to handle it.
- It doesn't matter.
And you've got every right to be furious with me.
I'm furious with me.
I wouldn't be surprised if none of you talked to me ever again.
Oh, sarah.
You know what? We're all grown-ups.
We can take care of ourselves.
Maybe we won't be as well-off, but we'll survive.
This is dad's legacy, mom.
He put me in charge.
He left it up to me.
Well, maybe he shouldn't have, sarah.
Ojai was his company, not yours.
You should never have been pressured to walk in his footsteps.
He never gave you that choice.
He picked you.
From the time you were a little girl, he saw something in you.
And I I let him have you.
Sarah, listen to me.
If ojai goes down maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's time to let it go.
And then finally, you could be your own person.
I am, mom.
Dad didn't force this on me.
I wanted it.
I always did.
Where you been? I didn't feel like coming home.
Oh, rebecca.
What is going on? You keep making these digs at me every chance you can get.
What are you so angry about? - Really, you don't know? - No.
David splits for no reason, I've been avoiding you since he left, and--and you still can't figure it out? I took a paternity test.
Yeah, that's right.
I-I took some gross stubble from david's razor and--and walked into some lab, and guess what? I never knew.
I-I thought william-- yeah, but you knew there was a possibility he wasn'T.
I mean, mom, you were clearly whoring it up with both of them.
I asked you, i begged you to tell me if there was even a chance that david was my father.
- And you--and you lied to my face! - But you already thought that william was your father.
- I was trying to protect you- - no, you weren'T.
You were protecting your-- your business and your money.
Our money.
That's right.
I didn't want that threatened.
I still don'T.
I want you to have all the things that I didn't have.
Oh, that's why you let william walker die thinking that I was his kid? How could you do that? He put us up in this house.
He put you in his will.
You--you let his family believe.
You let me believe.
You wanted to believe.
How could you do that to someone that you love? Then again, you know what? Maybe you're incapable of loving anybody.
I mean, look how everybody leaves you.
You sent him away, didn't you--david? That's why he left.
- You know, at least he cared.
- What? He knew what that family meant to me.
I walked into that house and--and looked at those photographs-- some--some lost girl looking for roots-- and--and they accepted me and they loved me.
You know, you are right.
I-I cannot compete with the walkers.
No, you can't compete.
You're not a mother, not like nora.
Nora had a husband and a family and money.
I scraped together everything for us.
I took care of you every single day of your life.
Do you know I wasn't much older than you when I got pregnant? Can you imagine that, being here by yourself and trying to support a child? But I did it.
And if I had to give up some of my dreams, so be it, because from then on, I put you first.
And now you have the audacity to treat me like a second-class citizen? And I allowed it because I knew that it was not easy for you.
but I am done with that.
From now on, if you want to hurt me, you hurt me from somewhere else.
I want you out of this house.
Fine.
I'm gone.
well, did you at least get to eat something organic? No, I just had some pretzels.
Yes, I know.
Hey, c-can you hang on.
Hold on one second.
hello? Yeah, I'll accept the charges.
Hello, saul? Oh, kevin, thank god.
What--what's going on? Are you okay? I'm at the police station.
I need you to come down here and get me.
so what happened? I don't know.
I I was almost home, kevin.
I was just, like, two blocks from my house.
I make that turn every day.
I don't know how I missed it.
Your blood alcohol is above the legal limit.
That's how.
I'm sorry.
I seem to be nothing but a disappointment these days.
Oh, stop it.
At least no one got hurt.
That's not the tru, kevin.
Everyone was hurt.
I hurt everyone.
- I hurt nora, sarah- - everybody screws up, saul.
But it's no excuse to treat yourself with absolutely no respect.
Kevin, I was fingerprinted and locked in a drunk tank.
What is there left to respect? How about me? How about the people who love you? Whatever it is you did to ojai, it's no excuse to drive your car into a tree.
I didn't risk ojai foods to make money, kevin.
I did it to try and save my life.
I want out.
I want to be free.
Just say it.
I love you, and it's okay.
I'm a gay man, kevin.
Tell me how I can be a gay man at my age? I don't know how to be a gay man at my age.
But I do understand, you're afraid.
I want my time back.
That's the one trick none of us can pull off.
Saul, if you think this family is gonna sit back and watch you waste the time that you do have punishing yourself, then you're mistaken.
- Come on.
Let's get you home.
- Okay.
- thank you, kevin.
I, uh- - I know.
I know, uncle saul.
Didn't get much sleep last night, huh? No not really.
I reread the proposal last night, and maybe we've been looking at this the wrong way.
Really? What, uh, what changed your mind? I think we need to ask ourselves what's the right thing to do? We've, uh, given it a lot of thought, and, um, we want to help.
Thank you, tommy.
I knew you wouldn't turn your back on ojai.
Well, you should thank holly as well.
She found a way to make this work for all of us.
I think this is what william would've wanted.
Oh, god.
I-I can't believe it.
I honestly did not think Thank you.
And I promise, we will do everything we can to get you out from under this loan as soon as possible.
Well, we were envisioning a dierent type of relationship, - something more permanent than a loan.
- Okay.
Considering all the risk is on us, we, uh, we thought it'd be best if ojai foods and walker landing merged.
A merger was never on the table.
We reviewed your proposal, and we need more incentive to step in.
Of course you do.
Playing the role of good samaritan-- that's not really you, is it? I don't think now is a good time for you to be insulting me.
Of course not.
How exactly would this work? Who would run the company? Well, sarah and i would be copresidents.
Well, that sounds doable, doesn't it? What about you, holly? Holly will assume the role of chairman and C.
E.
O.
in the event that you and i don't agree on something, she'll have the casting vote.
- You make the final decisions? - This is an ambush.
Tommy, if you want me out, just say it.
I'll do it to save ojai.
- This is not an ambush.
- Then what is it? It's business.
You owe a substantial amount of money, and you need us.
Now I have no intention of micromanaging ojai foods.
We see this merger as an opportunity to grow walker landing.
Now if we can do that and save your father's company, we're in.
Tommy, do you believe this is the right thing to do? Mom we're about to put up walker landing as collateral to satisfy the bank.
Okay, I wish I could say this was all about family, but it's not.
I mean, we have to make this advantageous for both companies.
Otherwise, we're taking on all the risk with none of the payoff.
I can understand that.
Can you, sarah? Let me make this clear.
This is not a negotiation.
A merger is our only offer.
Well, if it means keeping ojai in the family, then I would like to see this arrangement work.
Sarah? Please.
Okay.
Okay.
Rebecca.
C-come in.
Sorry.
I-I should've called.
no, it's okay.
I was-- I was gonna ll you to a--to apologize, but I-I didn't know if you wanted to hear from me.
Are you okay? No.
No, I'm not.
There's a lot that's been going on, and I was hoping that maybe we could talk.
Look, I'm so sorry that I dumped this garbage on you, okay? I don't--I don't want you to--to--to worry - or--or not want to be around me - no.
Because what-whatever I felt, it is gone.
You know, it's--it's me, and--and I feel like whenever I get myself, like, going again, I end up doing something stupid and hurting the people I love.
- Justin, please-- - okay, no, it's not that I love you like that oh, god.
You know what? Look my point is, I-i just want you to forget it.
It was stupid, and I let myself think that for a second, and it's like whatever sick part of me felt that is over.
I've--I've fixed it.
I mean, you know, I--you're my sister.
No, I'm not.
We're not related.
Your dad's not my dad.
But the test-- you--you took-- you took a test.
- You said that david was- - I know.
I-I-I was-- I was afraid to tell you.
So you lied to me? No, I'm sorry.
It's just, I-I--you've all become like family to me, and--and I really didn't want to lose that, and I know that you said that everything would stay the same, but-- - I thought you were different.
- What? Than your mom, but you're not.
You're exactly the same.
You both lie.
- Justin, no.
- How could--how could you do this to me, rebecca? You promised me that you were gonna tell me the truth, and I bel--I believed you.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean- - just go! I think you should go.
Go.
******* 'Cause you know we only have a half an hour left in the fertile window.
Yeah, I know, but I think we tried enough.
I think--I think we're-- we're good.
yeah, 'cause, you know, it really does start to feel like a job, doesn't it? I'm sorry.
I just-- you know what? I don't think I really wanted to try this month.
Really? Well, I mean, I I did, but I just really didn't, I guess.
It's just that the next part is so miserable, you know, all--all-- all the obsessing.
I hope and I pray and then I just get all disappointed and crushed again.
Well, we gave it a really good try.
We have to hope.
Honey, I I don't know how much longer I can do it.
Hey, this is gonna happen.
I don't know how, I don't know when, but this is gonna happen.
- did you hear the news? - A merger.
It'S it's not a bad idea.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see, huh? So why do I get the feeling that's not what you've come to talk to me about? - I can't do this, graham.
- This? Us.
Yeah.
Uh, I guess it was crazy to think that after everything-- - I mean, you, me, the deal- - it's not about the deal.
It's not? It was a good deal.
I guess I just sense that if things got complicated, we'd have to face up to who we are.
You mean who I am.
Well, uh, I am a consultant, and, uh, you make the decisions.
So what do you advise we do? Walk away from the table.
Justin? Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
Ojai's gonna be okay.
They're merging with walker landing.
And holly made it happen.
Can you believe it? - I never thought I'd actually be grateful to her.
- She was lying, mom.
No, no, no.
They signed the papers.
I was there.
- Sarah even-- - not about the business.
About rebecca being our sister.
What? It was all a lie.
She took a test.
Dad wasn't her father.
She's not a walker.
She never was.
- scotty? - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Allow me.
you changed the lightbulbs.
- Don't sound so disappointed.
- No, I'm not.
It's just, you know, I was supposed to do that.
Well, you seemed a little stressed.
- So I'm giving you a break.
- Really? - I can't think why.
- That bad? Oh, well, let me see first I was dealing with the family business being obliterated when justin announced he has, on occasion, been attracted to rebecca, our sister.
- What? - Believe me, it goes on.
Then sarah calls me over because she's agonizing over dating the guy whose deal obliterated the family business.
But--thank you-- the Pi¨¨ce de r¨¦sistance-- saul, who signed off on the deal that got the business obliterated, after being arrested for D.
U.
I.
For plowing his car into a tree 'cause apparently he's lost the will to live, finally came out to me.
Oh, my god.
Is he okay? He will be, I think.
But, you know, it's like all these crazy people in my mily are in this insane free fall and completely incapable of being happy.
And then I look at saul, who who's missed his life entirely and I realize how lucky I am because I get to come home to someone who is kind and caring and who changes the lightbulbs.
And marry me.
what? I mean it.
I-I don't want to wait.
I don't want--I want to make this official.
- Because I changed the lightbulbs? - No.
no.
Well, yeah, kinda.
Because scotty, that's who you are.
I am completely, completely in love with you.
I even love the things about you that I hate because you make me feel like I don't have to be anyone other than who I am.
And to me, that feels like family, and that's what I want us to be.
I want us to be a family because that never ends.
I'm doing this all wrong.
Scotty I am asking you will you please marry me? yes.
yes, kevin, I'll marry you.
