Brothers & Sisters s04e19 Episode Script
Time After Time (2)
After all the things we found out about Dad, the one thing that I always knew I could count on was Mom.
Now I'm not so sure.
Are you okay? No.
No, actually I'm not.
I have to go in for my first look on Monday.
Oh, God, do you? Yeah, I do.
Your cancer's not coming back, Kitty, I promise.
Oh, you know what, Sarah? Please don't say that.
I mean, you can't promise me anything.
You don't know anything, and nobody can promise me anything, and I just I hate it when people say that.
You're right.
And I'm sorry, I'm I don't know, I'm just I'm I'm I'm scared.
Kitty, you're right, I can't promise you anything, except this one thing, that I will always be there for you.
Good.
Good, because you need to finish the dishes.
Nora, we need to talk.
Call me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where is your mom, and what the hell is going on with her? You're asking the wrong guy.
I'm literally the last person to know anything in my family.
- Justin's not gonna sell.
- Good, that's great.
But what about your mom and Kevin and everybody else? Can you talk some sense into them? No.
No, I can't.
With all due respect, I'm not them.
They make their own decisions, so just see me as me.
Just like I see you: The mother of the woman I love.
I didn't pay him to say that.
- You're right, Justin, I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's fine.
Has this painting always been here? Actually, it used to be in your father's office.
- Oh, that's why it looks so familiar.
- Yeah, my mom painted it.
It's this place that William used to take me.
Up the five, a little cabin by the lake.
Cabin by the lake? Mom, the lake.
Oh, my God.
So? Anything? Well, the land in question was owned by a William.
- Walker? - Hearst.
William Randolph Hearst.
They donated it to the state of California a few years ago.
So basically it's Dead end.
It's just a beautiful lake, that's all.
- Mom, I'm so sorry.
- That's okay.
- Don't give up.
- I won't.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I mean, what if she's doing all of this for nothing? What if it doesn't lead anywhere? Where will she be then? - What? - What? What were you just thinking? Maybe we should do it.
Get married.
Right here, right now.
Justin, don't joke about that.
You know I would.
I'm not joking, I promise.
Rebecca, you asked me to marry you in Mexico, "Right here, right now, just us," and I said no, because my family wasn't there.
You are my family.
It's not about them, it's about us.
So let's walk in there and say, "I do.
" - Okay.
Yeah.
- Okay? Come on.
Let's go.
Justin, repeat after me: I, Justin, take you, Rebecca, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
I, Justin, take you, Rebecca, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
I, Rebecca, take you, Justin, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
Do you promise to love one another, in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversity? I do.
I do.
Then by virtue of the authority vested in me, I pronounce you married under the laws of the state of California.
Why are you telling me about something that happened 20 years ago? Because, Scotty, there was a fight.
Apparently, Kevin hit Aaron.
Okay, will someone please just tell me what's going on? Scotty, Aaron fell.
He was paralyzed.
Kevin found out today.
Oh, my God, that's why he wasn't there.
We had our second implantation today.
I waited with Michelle for two hours.
I kept telling the doctor, "He'll be here, just give him ten more minutes.
" I mean, he didn't even call.
Do you know where he is now? No, we have no idea.
That's why we came here.
I wanna sell Ojai.
What are you talking about? The secret is out, Sarah.
York has no leverage.
It's not about York, Saul.
It's about Kevin, it's about this family.
We're just We're paying too high a price.
I don't want anything else to do with Dad, his secrets - That's ridiculous.
You're just - Saul, she's right.
Enough with protecting this legacy.
Let's just be free of it.
Oh, my God, are you okay? What? What the hell is this? Why are you even here? We couldn't find you.
Scotty didn't know about Aaron, so we filled him in.
Oh, really? Did you tell him how Dad covered it all up by paying the family for years, and when he died, Mom took over? Did you tell him that? Come on, Kevin, she was in a terrible position.
What would you have her do? Please, please do not do that, Saul, because she is as bad as my father.
Actually, she's worse, she pretended to be above it.
- What have I done? - Kevin, it is not your fault.
I ruined his life, Scotty.
He was a kid.
Oh, my God, the implantation.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- It's not okay, l - Yes, it is.
- I went through with it.
- You did? We had to.
We would have lost the embryos.
- Kevin.
- Kevin, wait.
- Kevin.
Kev - Look.
Look, I'm really sorry.
I thought coming home would help, but I can't breathe.
I just need some air.
I just need some air.
I will call you, I'm fine.
Don't you get it? That lake, whatever it is, is the key to getting your family back.
Holly, you know what? You are one of the most insensitive people I have ever met.
I'm not being insensitive.
I know what happened to Kevin, and if you want your children back Oh, well, thank you so much for stopping by.
- I don't even have to tell you - Then don't let them sell Ojai Foods.
I know better than anyone that Ojai is a family business.
And once their anger fades, they are going to regret letting it go.
Sarah and Tommy, they grew up there.
And you've seen how much they have thrown themselves into that place.
Holly, I really can't tell them what to do right now.
I've made enough mistakes as it is.
So, what if you've made mistakes? Every single mother in the history of mankind have made mistakes.
Well, you ought to know.
Look, I did what I thought was best for Rebecca.
That's what you did with Kevin.
We were just protecting our kids, so don't stop protecting them now.
Yes.
It's the lake.
We have to find the lake.
I've got a plan.
Repeating the same thing slower and softer is just condescending.
Well, if you don't have the authority to change the reservation, put your manager on and I'll hold.
Okay.
Hey, Mrs.
Walker.
- Oh, I like the sound of that.
- I know.
Can you hold on one second? Thank you.
Babe, do you see the "Press Your Own Penny" there thing? Can you get me one? You want a flattened penny? - I like tchotchkes.
- Or you're just trying to get rid of me because you don't want me to hear what you're planning.
Well, can't a man surprise his wife for God's sakes? Hey.
Okay, look, I'm sorry.
I know the house was rented, but I just got married and we eloped and I wasn't able to plan a honeymoon.
I mean, I really wanna make this special.
My name is Justin Walker and Yeah.
Yeah, Nora and William's youngest.
Everybody's good.
So is there anything you can do? Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'll call you back.
I'll call you back.
Thank you.
Honeymoon is all set.
- It is? Here's your souvenir.
- Yes.
Thank you.
Know what else they have here? What? They have the best date shakes in all of California.
Milkshakes for breakfast? I knew I married you for a reason.
- Mr.
Burdette, right this way.
- Oh, thank you.
Hey.
How did it go? Did Kevin call? No.
No, not yet.
You okay? I'm fine.
Let's just get out of here.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
This is your first look to find out, you know, what's going on with the cancer.
I wanna know what's going on.
Oh, God, it's fine.
I had a CT, I had my blood drawn.
I don't know, it's just being back here is Well, you remember that girl? - The girl with all the piercings? - Yeah.
Well, she's back.
She's having another round of chemo.
I mean, that's the thing, right? I mean, it's a crapshoot.
You either get lucky or you don't.
Well, whatever happens, we're gonna go through it together.
It's Kevin.
Hey, Kev, hi.
Kit, you have to do me a favor.
Call Scotty, tell him I'm okay.
I'm just not ready to talk yet.
Sure, but Kevin, what's going on? Kevin, it's me.
I'm outside Aaron's house.
I have to face him, Kit.
We have to talk about what I did.
Kevin, I don't understand.
What are you talking about, 'what you did"? I'm gonna go, all right? But I love you.
What happened to you? You disappeared.
Kitty, can I tell you something? And you have to promise you won't say anything to anybody.
Of course.
I'm so drunk I probably won't remember anything anyway.
All right, you know that kid that I was with tonight? Aaron? Yeah.
He thought I liked him.
So? I mean, "liked him" liked him.
- Do you? - No.
No.
No.
L I don't know.
Maybe.
I mean, I hadn't seen him in, like, a year and I've been thinking about him a lot.
And tonight when we were alone, before Dad came, l I did the stupidest thing.
What? Oh, God.
I'm gay, aren't I? I am.
I am, I'm totally gay.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not.
Kitty.
I mean, Mom would have a breakdown.
And Dad? Dad would kill me.
I wouldn't care.
You wouldn't? I mean, aren't you a Republican? But I'm your sister first.
I'll always love you no matter what.
Hey.
Can I help you? Aaron? Yeah.
I'm Kevin Walker.
Thank you for seeing me.
I've been in my car the past few hours trying to find the courage to come in here.
I'm not sure what you think this is gonna accomplish.
You sure waited a long time to stop by.
Aaron, I am so sorry.
I didn't know what had happened to you until last night.
I'm This might sound crazy, my parents told me that you were fine.
Obviously, if I had known Listen.
I'm sure you must be feeling a lot of things right now, but that night? I don't dwell on it.
I worked long and hard to make sure that it didn't define me, and quite frankly, I'd like to keep it that way.
Of course.
Absolutely.
And I'm not trying to make this about me.
Then why are you here? I'm gay, and I needed you to know that.
I knew you were gay.
Why do you think I tried to kiss you? And I wanted to.
Believe me, so badly.
But I was so scared of the way I was feeling.
- Instead - You hit me.
Look, I had a lot of rage about what happened.
And I'm not gonna pretend it wasn't directed at you.
But not anymore.
I moved on.
I have a partner now, we have a life.
What happened, happened.
That two boys couldn't share a kiss and feel all the normal things you're supposed to feel at that age? That wasn't your fault.
You were just acting the way the world wanted you to.
I made peace with that.
And you need to do the same.
But not here.
Not with me.
Oh, my God, this is beautiful.
Look, I know it's not the Four Seasons, but what do you think? I love it.
Where did you find this place? Well, remember the Ojai house my family used to own? This is the Ojai house? Oh, my God, I can't believe it.
I've heard so many stories.
Well, look, the people who bought it, they rent it out now, so I was able to talk the landlord into giving it to us.
Anyway, more than any place else, this is the place I remember being the happiest.
I love that you brought me here.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- What? We're in.
We're in.
Okay, target on the move.
Holly, I just really don't know that I can do this.
What? Of course you can.
- Just keep him talking.
- Well, what if I can't? Don't chicken out on me now.
You're Louise, remember? I thought you wanted to be Louise.
You said she had street smarts.
Fine, fine, then be Thelma.
Just keep him in his chair until you get a text from me.
- All right, just be quick about it.
- I will.
Excuse me, are you gonna be much longer? I just need to change.
- I'm just leaving.
- Oh, great.
- Would you like turndown service later? - Absolutely.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
Thanks for seeing me.
I wish this wasn't such a contentious deal.
It never felt like a deal, it felt like an ambush.
- If you came down here to vent - No, I didn't.
I didn't.
I'm sorry.
I came down for this.
This is an agreement guaranteeing that if the sale of Ojai goes through, you won't let any of the employees go for at least a year.
And I thought that you and I should go through this together.
- Won't be necessary.
- There Look, l Honestly, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding.
Look, I have no intention of firing anyone.
As a matter of fact, I hope to be hiring soon.
Hiring? Oh, come on, Dennis.
You won.
Give me a hint.
What makes Ojai Foods so valuable? Nice try.
I really should get back to my room and make a few calls.
Dennis.
Dennis.
What happened to you? You used to be so sweet.
Yeah.
That was before William ended up with pretty much everything I ever wanted.
The business, you.
I think it made me crazy.
Have you ever wondered if you made the right decision staying with William? You know? It could have been you and me, Nora.
I don't know.
Sure, I've wondered.
Sorry.
I have to go.
Wish I could stay.
Kind of an emergency.
Listen, could you at least answer my question? Right.
Dennis, the thing about William, he never wanted to openly hurt anyone.
That's why he hid everything.
You, on the other hand, take pleasure in it.
Did I ever wish I had left William for you? No.
Not for a second.
Right this way, sir.
- I completely struck out.
- You didn't find anything? No, all I found is a bunch of receipts.
- Wait a minute, what's this? - It's a valet ticket.
Bingo.
- Bingo? - Can we have our car right away? We're trying to get to the movies, we don't want to be late.
- What are you doing? - Isn't it obvious? You didn't find anything in his room, he doesn't have an office.
- He must keep everything in his car.
- So you're gonna take his car? We're gonna look in his car.
You started this, Holly.
Here he is, come on.
I've created a monster.
Nora, think before you act.
Just look in the car, Holly.
- Thank you so much.
- My pleasure.
Look.
He has one of those navigational GPS systems.
That means if he's been to Narrow Lake, maybe it'll be logged in.
- That's true.
Okay.
- Let's go.
Let's go.
Just look on that side of the car, Holly.
- Look under the seat.
- God, that's him.
- Get out of the car.
- Get in the car! - Get out of the car! - Get in the car! Get in! - No! - Get in the car.
Good God, he stopped at every hot-dog stand, greasy spoon, and hamburger joint in Ojai Valley.
And we're not closer to finding Narrow Lake.
The only destinations that he flagged are the ones where he could get food.
Would you please stop singing? You're driving me crazy.
I'm trying to remember the rest of the song.
It's William's song about Narrow Lake.
I can't remember it.
Well, at least you didn't exaggerate about the shakes.
- They're very good.
- I know, aren't they great? We always used to stop here on our way to the old Ojai house.
All the kids had to have a date shake.
We gotta go.
There's a lot more in the GPS.
Come on, Nora, let's go.
Put some pep in your step.
What? - What did you say? - Put some pep in your step.
Pep in your step.
The pepper in your stepper.
- That's it! That's it.
- That's the song William used to sing? - With a pepper in your - That's awful.
With a pepper in your stepper.
With a pepper With a pepper in your stepper? What the hell does that mean? It means he had too much to drink.
Oh, Holly, tell me again, when was it that William bought Narrow Lake? - Summer of '73.
- 1973.
The summer of 1973, I had four kids all under the age of 6.
William worked all the time.
Did he ever take a business trip and you didn't know where he was going? Come on, Holly.
William took an excessive amount of business trips.
I just chose to ignore them.
But did he say he was going to buy land? No, I don't know.
I don't remember.
No, he Wait a minute, wait a minute.
There was this one time.
And I remember it only because, the night before, he took me to this party somewhere in Malibu, and he spent the entire time flirting with this leggy blonde and I had to stand in the corner and chat with his associates about produce.
But did he say he was going to buy land? Because it might have been Narrow Lake.
Come on.
He's hanging all over this blonde, next morning he says he has to go look for land? No.
No.
He spent the entire weekend in bed with the blonde.
Now, you don't know that.
If I've learned anything, I've learned that.
Unless you have proof to the contrary.
Well, Nora, I think we should talk.
- It's Robert.
- No, no, no, don't answer it.
But it might be about Kevin.
I have to answer this.
- Hello? - I just got off the phone with Kitty.
She spoke to Kevin.
He's fine.
Oh, thank God.
What was that? Nothing, it was the TV.
Nora, where are you? - Don't say anything.
- I'm taking a little road trip.
Right now? While your family's in the middle of a crisis? - Well, I'm upset.
- Stop it.
- I gotta go.
- Nora, something is going on, you are a horrible liar.
All right, fine.
I'm looking for Narrow Lake with Holly.
- We just stole Dennis York's car.
- No.
It was unintentional and I'll get it back to him.
I don't want it to hurt Kitty's campaign.
Should have thought of that before you stole a car.
- Hindsight is 20/20.
- Give me the phone.
Look, I'm sure that this is Holly's fault.
- I had nothing to do with this.
- Hang up the phone.
Holly.
Where are you? - Just pulled off the 150.
- Don't tell him.
You're driving around on freeways? Well, we can't take the surface streets to Ojai.
Look, I know that Nora is nutty enough to do something like this, but you? Hi, Robert.
This is nutty Nora.
Okay, can I just have one conversation at a time? - Did York see you take the car? - No.
Well, maybe.
Okay.
Yeah, I think he did.
You cannot be driving around in a stolen car.
We're not gonna be driving around in a stolen car, all right? We're gonna pull over someplace and we're gonna figure all of this out.
We're And I know the perfect place.
Oh, God, I'm so lucky.
Oh, yes, you are.
- Oh, I love you so much.
- I love you too.
- Hello? - Hello? What? - What the hell? - Why? - The door was unlocked.
- We're so sorry.
- What is going on? - We were in the area.
We were looking for Narrow Lake, we needed Had to stop for a while.
I called the real-estate office, they said you were here.
- What? - Is that all they said? - Should there have been something else? - No.
No, no.
We're sorry to interrupt your romantic - We'll just go - We're gonna go in the kitchen.
- Take your time.
- Take your time.
Thank you for that, Ma.
That's really sweet.
I hate them so much.
I hate them.
You know, I think it's really amazing that you talked to Aaron today.
But he's right.
This is something I have to deal with alone.
I just don't know how.
You know, Kev, I had to go to the hospital this morning.
They gave me a test to see if my cancer came back.
Are you having any symptoms? No, no, it's just a standard procedure.
I'm still waiting for the results.
But the point is, is I don't know whether they're gonna be good or bad.
And if they're good, I suppose that means that somebody else is gonna get a call saying that their cancer's back.
It's not the same.
You didn't cause that.
Well, that's true.
But what happened to Aaron was an accident too.
Why he fell the way he did and why you didn't Kev, there's no answer to it.
Is Kevin okay? Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
He's with Kitty, he won't talk to me.
Well, Mom, I did a lot worse than lying when I was using and you all forgave me.
He's gonna forgive you, it's just gonna take time.
Are you expecting someone? Hello? - What are you doing here? - I rented this place.
What are you doing? Looking for her.
Mom, have you lost your mind? - I know this looks bad.
- Bad? Robert just called me to say that you've stolen a car.
- You stole that car? - I was gonna tell you about that.
- Mom, whatever you're doing, stop.
- Oh, my God.
There are more of you.
I told you not to tell Robert anything.
What else did you tell her not to say? - Is she responsible for this? - No.
It was my idea to steal the car.
Look, Sarah, we're trying to find Narrow Lake.
That makes perfect sense.
You're driving around in a stolen car looking for a lake you don't think exists.
- Why don't you let her explain? - Because she's not making any sense.
- I know it sounds crazy.
- Yeah, it does, Mom.
I don't want to hear it.
I promised Robert that I would tell you to return the car, so return the damn car.
- Tommy, are you coming? - Sarah, please.
Please don't just leave.
After what just happened, it's a little hard to get excited about a lake, Mom.
I'm so sorry.
I made a lot of mistakes, I'm not a perfect person.
- I'm sorry.
- Well, it's a little late for apologies.
Look, sell Ojai or don't sell Ojai, I don't care.
But Holly and I need more time.
- I have to find Narrow Lake.
- Okay, guys, stop it.
Has it even occurred to you why Rebecca and I are here? - Did something else happen? - Yeah.
We got married.
- What? - Oh, my goodness.
- When? - At the courthouse.
We eloped.
This is our honeymoon.
I stupidly thought this would be the perfect place to come celebrate our marriage, okay? So figure it out.
Who the hell is that? I'm looking for Nora Walker.
- And Holly - Harper? You're both under arrest.
I can't really blame them eloping.
I suppose so, but I missed my only daughter's wedding.
Well, when we get out of here, we'll throw them a great big party.
Yeah, we'll have to celebrate.
Holly.
Thanks.
Thanks? We were just booked for grand theft auto.
Yes, I know.
Well, that's my fault.
But I don't know, maybe they're right what they say, sometimes it's about the journey.
And the journey today Well, if I didn't know better, I would think we were almost friends.
- What? - Well, I should have told you about this this morning, but our history is so complicated and I didn't wanna rock the boat.
Oh, God, should I brace myself? You know that leggy blonde that you saw William flirting with at that party in '73? - That was me.
- You? Yeah, that was the first night I met him.
Holly, forget about it.
Forget about it.
I don't care.
I am so over this, I can't begin to tell you.
Honestly.
I knew he was a womanizer, I just wanted to keep what we had.
Our family and Who cares? I know you think that he slept with that leggy blonde.
- You.
- Me, that weekend.
And you wanted proof to the contrary? Well, I've got it.
It was more than a month before we had sex.
I really wouldn't push it if I were you.
I know, I know, but what I'm saying is, he wasn't with me, so maybe he was really looking for land, like he said.
Oh, my God.
You mean, maybe he was telling me the truth for once? - Maybe he was out looking for land? - It's possible.
Check-out time, ladies.
- Oh, Robert.
- Hi.
You know what? Hang on just one second.
This is too good.
- Oh, no.
No.
- No.
- It's Mom.
- I'm not here.
Hi, Mom.
Yeah, yeah, he's here.
He's doing okay.
What? You're kidding me.
Well, yeah.
Of course.
Well, yeah.
Yes, Mom, I said that I would tell him.
But you need to let me get off the phone.
- What? - Well, you're never gonna believe this.
Our baby brother got married.
You're right, I don't believe it.
It's true, and they're all up at the old house in Ojai and they're having a dinner.
- Oh, no.
- Kev.
Kev, you gotta go.
- No.
- Oh, yes, Kevin, we have to go.
Your brother got married.
Kevin.
Hey.
- You all right? - No, but I'm here, so Look, I'm really sorry about what happened.
You don't need to apologize, all right? I should have pushed Dad for more answers.
Well, we were kids, we just did what we were told.
But I don't want you guys to sell the company because of me.
- We'll talk about it later.
- Okay.
- Is that Scotty? - Yeah.
I'm glad you're here.
Well, I'm here because of Justin and Rebecca.
Rebecca, I always wanted the perfect wedding for you.
The flowers, the music and the dress.
And you'd think that I would be a little upset about not being invited to my only child's wedding.
But sweetie, I have never seen you happier.
And Justin, I want to thank you for taking such good care of my little girl.
Every time I see you looking at her as if she is the center of your world, I am so happy that you can be part of our family.
Thank you.
Oh, and Rebecca, I talked to your father and he told me to tell you that you're gonna have to do this all over again, because he is determined to walk you down the aisle.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Okay, Justin, you really are an amazing little brother.
We can always count on you for compassion and kindness and you're also a handful.
Come on, let's face it, you've made more than your fair share of mistakes, but you always come back to what matters.
Love, and family.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
A special cheers to the senator for bailing out our mothers out of jail.
Hear, hear.
I have photos.
Yes, I'll delete them for the campaign, but how about that? Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Can you text it to me before you delete it? That is awful.
I hate you.
Oh, my God.
Hello? Oh, hi, Dr.
Avadon.
Who is ready for some cake? - Me.
- Me.
Actually, I'd like to say something first.
I guess if there's one thing I've learnt recently is, nothing makes sense in this world.
It's a mystery to me how anything happens, but it's what we do about it that counts.
How you both met, that was fate.
But that doesn't mean it was easy and a lot of things came between you and your love.
But you showed faith in each other and in the future.
And that's what I'd like to toast.
To trusting that the end is worth it and never letting go of its promise.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Thank you, Kevin.
- Cheers.
Kitty, what's wrong? Nothing.
Nothing.
It was That was That was really beautiful, Kev.
Kitty, what's going on? Well, I I just I just got my results from my first-Iook cancer checkup.
And I'm cancer-free.
I'm in remission.
Oh, Kitty, didn't I say? Oh, sib hug, sib hug.
Mom, I swear you could make cake stranded on a deserted island.
You're the MacGyver of food.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
Honey, I know I didn't make a speech tonight, but I wanted you to know how happy I am for the two of you.
- And I'm so proud of you.
- Oh, thanks, Mom.
I love you.
And just think, one more dinner in the old Ojai house.
You know those summers we used to spend up here as kids? Running around, trying not to kill each other.
You know what my favorite part was, Ma? When you'd call us in from the backyard.
Oh, yes, you would all come racing in, tripping all over each other, trying to be the first one at the dinner table.
Yeah.
And Dad would be sitting at the head of the table giving us his stupid quizzes and word puzzles.
But you? You would want to know everything about our day.
Whatever crazy idea we had or whatever, you'd listen to it all.
You made us feel like the most important people in the world, Mom.
Well, at least I did something right.
You did.
- Am I interrupting? - No.
After you two barging in on my honeymoon today - Oh, my God.
- Sorry.
I can't believe we interrupted your honeymoon.
Well, speaking of honeymoon, Mom, I figured you might want something for your scrapbook.
You know the "Press a Penny" place with the date shakes? Yeah, we each had one.
- Oh, my God.
- What? - I know it's lame, but - No.
- Holly, that weekend - What weekend? Well, your mom remembers this weekend in the summer of '73 when your dad said he was looking for land.
I remember now.
He brought me back one of these.
So he was looking for land.
Somewhere around here.
I'm gonna get the map.
So beautiful out here.
Yeah, I know.
So quiet.
Yeah, I feel like a storm's passed.
Tommy, what if we're making a mistake selling Ojai? Would you ever think about coming back? I don't know.
Well, I'll say one thing.
Whatever Dad's expectations of us were or whatever his vision for the company was, I don't really care about them anymore.
Hey, listen, if you could do anything, absolutely anything, with Ojai, what would it be? - Hypothetically? - Yeah.
I would I'd take that parcel of land up by Victorville.
Plant wild strawberries.
- Strawberries.
- Yeah.
I like that idea.
Okay.
So these are all the destinations in York's GPS? Yes, here's the list right here.
Yeah, we kept going in a circle, which is what I said.
We kept passing the same hill with the same mesquite tree.
You know that tree, Saul? That great big tree right there at the turnoff at 150.
Yeah, I know it, except it's a pepper tree.
- A pepper tree? - Wait, you don't - Pepper in your stepper.
- Kevin, come here.
We're trying to solve one of Dad's puzzles.
Can't.
Scotty's already in the car.
Come on, you're the best at trying to figure this stuff out.
We need help.
What is it? Riddle, anagram, what? Just a little ditty.
All right, what's? What's the circle for? The trail that York left with his food obsession.
Or else he was driving back and forth to Narrow Lake.
- That's it.
Look, that's it.
- What? If York was driving back and forth, if you triangulate all the stops, here's the center, right here.
Well, wait, but what's that road? - "Calle De Los Sue? Os.
" - "Street of Dreams.
" "Follow the dream, you and I.
" The pepper in your stepper.
Dreams.
Yeah, this has got to be it.
It has to.
We have gotta go back to route 150 and see what's at the end of that road.
Yeah, but that looks like a dead end.
Wait a minute.
"Narrow Lake" is an anagram for "Nora Walker.
" Good luck finding it.
- You're leaving? - Yeah.
All right.
Thank you.
- Congratulations, sister-in-law.
- Thank you.
Bye.
Kevin? Kevin, please talk to me.
I don't want to, Mom.
Not yet.
I love you.
I know.
This can't be it.
Well, it has to be.
Everything points here.
There's nothing here.
There's not even a lake.
I know, it does look like an empty piece of land.
But I'm telling you, Holly, I see our future here.
Now I'm not so sure.
Are you okay? No.
No, actually I'm not.
I have to go in for my first look on Monday.
Oh, God, do you? Yeah, I do.
Your cancer's not coming back, Kitty, I promise.
Oh, you know what, Sarah? Please don't say that.
I mean, you can't promise me anything.
You don't know anything, and nobody can promise me anything, and I just I hate it when people say that.
You're right.
And I'm sorry, I'm I don't know, I'm just I'm I'm I'm scared.
Kitty, you're right, I can't promise you anything, except this one thing, that I will always be there for you.
Good.
Good, because you need to finish the dishes.
Nora, we need to talk.
Call me.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where is your mom, and what the hell is going on with her? You're asking the wrong guy.
I'm literally the last person to know anything in my family.
- Justin's not gonna sell.
- Good, that's great.
But what about your mom and Kevin and everybody else? Can you talk some sense into them? No.
No, I can't.
With all due respect, I'm not them.
They make their own decisions, so just see me as me.
Just like I see you: The mother of the woman I love.
I didn't pay him to say that.
- You're right, Justin, I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's fine.
Has this painting always been here? Actually, it used to be in your father's office.
- Oh, that's why it looks so familiar.
- Yeah, my mom painted it.
It's this place that William used to take me.
Up the five, a little cabin by the lake.
Cabin by the lake? Mom, the lake.
Oh, my God.
So? Anything? Well, the land in question was owned by a William.
- Walker? - Hearst.
William Randolph Hearst.
They donated it to the state of California a few years ago.
So basically it's Dead end.
It's just a beautiful lake, that's all.
- Mom, I'm so sorry.
- That's okay.
- Don't give up.
- I won't.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I mean, what if she's doing all of this for nothing? What if it doesn't lead anywhere? Where will she be then? - What? - What? What were you just thinking? Maybe we should do it.
Get married.
Right here, right now.
Justin, don't joke about that.
You know I would.
I'm not joking, I promise.
Rebecca, you asked me to marry you in Mexico, "Right here, right now, just us," and I said no, because my family wasn't there.
You are my family.
It's not about them, it's about us.
So let's walk in there and say, "I do.
" - Okay.
Yeah.
- Okay? Come on.
Let's go.
Justin, repeat after me: I, Justin, take you, Rebecca, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
I, Justin, take you, Rebecca, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
I, Rebecca, take you, Justin, to be my lawfully wedded spouse.
Do you promise to love one another, in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversity? I do.
I do.
Then by virtue of the authority vested in me, I pronounce you married under the laws of the state of California.
Why are you telling me about something that happened 20 years ago? Because, Scotty, there was a fight.
Apparently, Kevin hit Aaron.
Okay, will someone please just tell me what's going on? Scotty, Aaron fell.
He was paralyzed.
Kevin found out today.
Oh, my God, that's why he wasn't there.
We had our second implantation today.
I waited with Michelle for two hours.
I kept telling the doctor, "He'll be here, just give him ten more minutes.
" I mean, he didn't even call.
Do you know where he is now? No, we have no idea.
That's why we came here.
I wanna sell Ojai.
What are you talking about? The secret is out, Sarah.
York has no leverage.
It's not about York, Saul.
It's about Kevin, it's about this family.
We're just We're paying too high a price.
I don't want anything else to do with Dad, his secrets - That's ridiculous.
You're just - Saul, she's right.
Enough with protecting this legacy.
Let's just be free of it.
Oh, my God, are you okay? What? What the hell is this? Why are you even here? We couldn't find you.
Scotty didn't know about Aaron, so we filled him in.
Oh, really? Did you tell him how Dad covered it all up by paying the family for years, and when he died, Mom took over? Did you tell him that? Come on, Kevin, she was in a terrible position.
What would you have her do? Please, please do not do that, Saul, because she is as bad as my father.
Actually, she's worse, she pretended to be above it.
- What have I done? - Kevin, it is not your fault.
I ruined his life, Scotty.
He was a kid.
Oh, my God, the implantation.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- It's not okay, l - Yes, it is.
- I went through with it.
- You did? We had to.
We would have lost the embryos.
- Kevin.
- Kevin, wait.
- Kevin.
Kev - Look.
Look, I'm really sorry.
I thought coming home would help, but I can't breathe.
I just need some air.
I just need some air.
I will call you, I'm fine.
Don't you get it? That lake, whatever it is, is the key to getting your family back.
Holly, you know what? You are one of the most insensitive people I have ever met.
I'm not being insensitive.
I know what happened to Kevin, and if you want your children back Oh, well, thank you so much for stopping by.
- I don't even have to tell you - Then don't let them sell Ojai Foods.
I know better than anyone that Ojai is a family business.
And once their anger fades, they are going to regret letting it go.
Sarah and Tommy, they grew up there.
And you've seen how much they have thrown themselves into that place.
Holly, I really can't tell them what to do right now.
I've made enough mistakes as it is.
So, what if you've made mistakes? Every single mother in the history of mankind have made mistakes.
Well, you ought to know.
Look, I did what I thought was best for Rebecca.
That's what you did with Kevin.
We were just protecting our kids, so don't stop protecting them now.
Yes.
It's the lake.
We have to find the lake.
I've got a plan.
Repeating the same thing slower and softer is just condescending.
Well, if you don't have the authority to change the reservation, put your manager on and I'll hold.
Okay.
Hey, Mrs.
Walker.
- Oh, I like the sound of that.
- I know.
Can you hold on one second? Thank you.
Babe, do you see the "Press Your Own Penny" there thing? Can you get me one? You want a flattened penny? - I like tchotchkes.
- Or you're just trying to get rid of me because you don't want me to hear what you're planning.
Well, can't a man surprise his wife for God's sakes? Hey.
Okay, look, I'm sorry.
I know the house was rented, but I just got married and we eloped and I wasn't able to plan a honeymoon.
I mean, I really wanna make this special.
My name is Justin Walker and Yeah.
Yeah, Nora and William's youngest.
Everybody's good.
So is there anything you can do? Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'll call you back.
I'll call you back.
Thank you.
Honeymoon is all set.
- It is? Here's your souvenir.
- Yes.
Thank you.
Know what else they have here? What? They have the best date shakes in all of California.
Milkshakes for breakfast? I knew I married you for a reason.
- Mr.
Burdette, right this way.
- Oh, thank you.
Hey.
How did it go? Did Kevin call? No.
No, not yet.
You okay? I'm fine.
Let's just get out of here.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
This is your first look to find out, you know, what's going on with the cancer.
I wanna know what's going on.
Oh, God, it's fine.
I had a CT, I had my blood drawn.
I don't know, it's just being back here is Well, you remember that girl? - The girl with all the piercings? - Yeah.
Well, she's back.
She's having another round of chemo.
I mean, that's the thing, right? I mean, it's a crapshoot.
You either get lucky or you don't.
Well, whatever happens, we're gonna go through it together.
It's Kevin.
Hey, Kev, hi.
Kit, you have to do me a favor.
Call Scotty, tell him I'm okay.
I'm just not ready to talk yet.
Sure, but Kevin, what's going on? Kevin, it's me.
I'm outside Aaron's house.
I have to face him, Kit.
We have to talk about what I did.
Kevin, I don't understand.
What are you talking about, 'what you did"? I'm gonna go, all right? But I love you.
What happened to you? You disappeared.
Kitty, can I tell you something? And you have to promise you won't say anything to anybody.
Of course.
I'm so drunk I probably won't remember anything anyway.
All right, you know that kid that I was with tonight? Aaron? Yeah.
He thought I liked him.
So? I mean, "liked him" liked him.
- Do you? - No.
No.
No.
L I don't know.
Maybe.
I mean, I hadn't seen him in, like, a year and I've been thinking about him a lot.
And tonight when we were alone, before Dad came, l I did the stupidest thing.
What? Oh, God.
I'm gay, aren't I? I am.
I am, I'm totally gay.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not.
Kitty.
I mean, Mom would have a breakdown.
And Dad? Dad would kill me.
I wouldn't care.
You wouldn't? I mean, aren't you a Republican? But I'm your sister first.
I'll always love you no matter what.
Hey.
Can I help you? Aaron? Yeah.
I'm Kevin Walker.
Thank you for seeing me.
I've been in my car the past few hours trying to find the courage to come in here.
I'm not sure what you think this is gonna accomplish.
You sure waited a long time to stop by.
Aaron, I am so sorry.
I didn't know what had happened to you until last night.
I'm This might sound crazy, my parents told me that you were fine.
Obviously, if I had known Listen.
I'm sure you must be feeling a lot of things right now, but that night? I don't dwell on it.
I worked long and hard to make sure that it didn't define me, and quite frankly, I'd like to keep it that way.
Of course.
Absolutely.
And I'm not trying to make this about me.
Then why are you here? I'm gay, and I needed you to know that.
I knew you were gay.
Why do you think I tried to kiss you? And I wanted to.
Believe me, so badly.
But I was so scared of the way I was feeling.
- Instead - You hit me.
Look, I had a lot of rage about what happened.
And I'm not gonna pretend it wasn't directed at you.
But not anymore.
I moved on.
I have a partner now, we have a life.
What happened, happened.
That two boys couldn't share a kiss and feel all the normal things you're supposed to feel at that age? That wasn't your fault.
You were just acting the way the world wanted you to.
I made peace with that.
And you need to do the same.
But not here.
Not with me.
Oh, my God, this is beautiful.
Look, I know it's not the Four Seasons, but what do you think? I love it.
Where did you find this place? Well, remember the Ojai house my family used to own? This is the Ojai house? Oh, my God, I can't believe it.
I've heard so many stories.
Well, look, the people who bought it, they rent it out now, so I was able to talk the landlord into giving it to us.
Anyway, more than any place else, this is the place I remember being the happiest.
I love that you brought me here.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- What? We're in.
We're in.
Okay, target on the move.
Holly, I just really don't know that I can do this.
What? Of course you can.
- Just keep him talking.
- Well, what if I can't? Don't chicken out on me now.
You're Louise, remember? I thought you wanted to be Louise.
You said she had street smarts.
Fine, fine, then be Thelma.
Just keep him in his chair until you get a text from me.
- All right, just be quick about it.
- I will.
Excuse me, are you gonna be much longer? I just need to change.
- I'm just leaving.
- Oh, great.
- Would you like turndown service later? - Absolutely.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
Thanks for seeing me.
I wish this wasn't such a contentious deal.
It never felt like a deal, it felt like an ambush.
- If you came down here to vent - No, I didn't.
I didn't.
I'm sorry.
I came down for this.
This is an agreement guaranteeing that if the sale of Ojai goes through, you won't let any of the employees go for at least a year.
And I thought that you and I should go through this together.
- Won't be necessary.
- There Look, l Honestly, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding.
Look, I have no intention of firing anyone.
As a matter of fact, I hope to be hiring soon.
Hiring? Oh, come on, Dennis.
You won.
Give me a hint.
What makes Ojai Foods so valuable? Nice try.
I really should get back to my room and make a few calls.
Dennis.
Dennis.
What happened to you? You used to be so sweet.
Yeah.
That was before William ended up with pretty much everything I ever wanted.
The business, you.
I think it made me crazy.
Have you ever wondered if you made the right decision staying with William? You know? It could have been you and me, Nora.
I don't know.
Sure, I've wondered.
Sorry.
I have to go.
Wish I could stay.
Kind of an emergency.
Listen, could you at least answer my question? Right.
Dennis, the thing about William, he never wanted to openly hurt anyone.
That's why he hid everything.
You, on the other hand, take pleasure in it.
Did I ever wish I had left William for you? No.
Not for a second.
Right this way, sir.
- I completely struck out.
- You didn't find anything? No, all I found is a bunch of receipts.
- Wait a minute, what's this? - It's a valet ticket.
Bingo.
- Bingo? - Can we have our car right away? We're trying to get to the movies, we don't want to be late.
- What are you doing? - Isn't it obvious? You didn't find anything in his room, he doesn't have an office.
- He must keep everything in his car.
- So you're gonna take his car? We're gonna look in his car.
You started this, Holly.
Here he is, come on.
I've created a monster.
Nora, think before you act.
Just look in the car, Holly.
- Thank you so much.
- My pleasure.
Look.
He has one of those navigational GPS systems.
That means if he's been to Narrow Lake, maybe it'll be logged in.
- That's true.
Okay.
- Let's go.
Let's go.
Just look on that side of the car, Holly.
- Look under the seat.
- God, that's him.
- Get out of the car.
- Get in the car! - Get out of the car! - Get in the car! Get in! - No! - Get in the car.
Good God, he stopped at every hot-dog stand, greasy spoon, and hamburger joint in Ojai Valley.
And we're not closer to finding Narrow Lake.
The only destinations that he flagged are the ones where he could get food.
Would you please stop singing? You're driving me crazy.
I'm trying to remember the rest of the song.
It's William's song about Narrow Lake.
I can't remember it.
Well, at least you didn't exaggerate about the shakes.
- They're very good.
- I know, aren't they great? We always used to stop here on our way to the old Ojai house.
All the kids had to have a date shake.
We gotta go.
There's a lot more in the GPS.
Come on, Nora, let's go.
Put some pep in your step.
What? - What did you say? - Put some pep in your step.
Pep in your step.
The pepper in your stepper.
- That's it! That's it.
- That's the song William used to sing? - With a pepper in your - That's awful.
With a pepper in your stepper.
With a pepper With a pepper in your stepper? What the hell does that mean? It means he had too much to drink.
Oh, Holly, tell me again, when was it that William bought Narrow Lake? - Summer of '73.
- 1973.
The summer of 1973, I had four kids all under the age of 6.
William worked all the time.
Did he ever take a business trip and you didn't know where he was going? Come on, Holly.
William took an excessive amount of business trips.
I just chose to ignore them.
But did he say he was going to buy land? No, I don't know.
I don't remember.
No, he Wait a minute, wait a minute.
There was this one time.
And I remember it only because, the night before, he took me to this party somewhere in Malibu, and he spent the entire time flirting with this leggy blonde and I had to stand in the corner and chat with his associates about produce.
But did he say he was going to buy land? Because it might have been Narrow Lake.
Come on.
He's hanging all over this blonde, next morning he says he has to go look for land? No.
No.
He spent the entire weekend in bed with the blonde.
Now, you don't know that.
If I've learned anything, I've learned that.
Unless you have proof to the contrary.
Well, Nora, I think we should talk.
- It's Robert.
- No, no, no, don't answer it.
But it might be about Kevin.
I have to answer this.
- Hello? - I just got off the phone with Kitty.
She spoke to Kevin.
He's fine.
Oh, thank God.
What was that? Nothing, it was the TV.
Nora, where are you? - Don't say anything.
- I'm taking a little road trip.
Right now? While your family's in the middle of a crisis? - Well, I'm upset.
- Stop it.
- I gotta go.
- Nora, something is going on, you are a horrible liar.
All right, fine.
I'm looking for Narrow Lake with Holly.
- We just stole Dennis York's car.
- No.
It was unintentional and I'll get it back to him.
I don't want it to hurt Kitty's campaign.
Should have thought of that before you stole a car.
- Hindsight is 20/20.
- Give me the phone.
Look, I'm sure that this is Holly's fault.
- I had nothing to do with this.
- Hang up the phone.
Holly.
Where are you? - Just pulled off the 150.
- Don't tell him.
You're driving around on freeways? Well, we can't take the surface streets to Ojai.
Look, I know that Nora is nutty enough to do something like this, but you? Hi, Robert.
This is nutty Nora.
Okay, can I just have one conversation at a time? - Did York see you take the car? - No.
Well, maybe.
Okay.
Yeah, I think he did.
You cannot be driving around in a stolen car.
We're not gonna be driving around in a stolen car, all right? We're gonna pull over someplace and we're gonna figure all of this out.
We're And I know the perfect place.
Oh, God, I'm so lucky.
Oh, yes, you are.
- Oh, I love you so much.
- I love you too.
- Hello? - Hello? What? - What the hell? - Why? - The door was unlocked.
- We're so sorry.
- What is going on? - We were in the area.
We were looking for Narrow Lake, we needed Had to stop for a while.
I called the real-estate office, they said you were here.
- What? - Is that all they said? - Should there have been something else? - No.
No, no.
We're sorry to interrupt your romantic - We'll just go - We're gonna go in the kitchen.
- Take your time.
- Take your time.
Thank you for that, Ma.
That's really sweet.
I hate them so much.
I hate them.
You know, I think it's really amazing that you talked to Aaron today.
But he's right.
This is something I have to deal with alone.
I just don't know how.
You know, Kev, I had to go to the hospital this morning.
They gave me a test to see if my cancer came back.
Are you having any symptoms? No, no, it's just a standard procedure.
I'm still waiting for the results.
But the point is, is I don't know whether they're gonna be good or bad.
And if they're good, I suppose that means that somebody else is gonna get a call saying that their cancer's back.
It's not the same.
You didn't cause that.
Well, that's true.
But what happened to Aaron was an accident too.
Why he fell the way he did and why you didn't Kev, there's no answer to it.
Is Kevin okay? Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
He's with Kitty, he won't talk to me.
Well, Mom, I did a lot worse than lying when I was using and you all forgave me.
He's gonna forgive you, it's just gonna take time.
Are you expecting someone? Hello? - What are you doing here? - I rented this place.
What are you doing? Looking for her.
Mom, have you lost your mind? - I know this looks bad.
- Bad? Robert just called me to say that you've stolen a car.
- You stole that car? - I was gonna tell you about that.
- Mom, whatever you're doing, stop.
- Oh, my God.
There are more of you.
I told you not to tell Robert anything.
What else did you tell her not to say? - Is she responsible for this? - No.
It was my idea to steal the car.
Look, Sarah, we're trying to find Narrow Lake.
That makes perfect sense.
You're driving around in a stolen car looking for a lake you don't think exists.
- Why don't you let her explain? - Because she's not making any sense.
- I know it sounds crazy.
- Yeah, it does, Mom.
I don't want to hear it.
I promised Robert that I would tell you to return the car, so return the damn car.
- Tommy, are you coming? - Sarah, please.
Please don't just leave.
After what just happened, it's a little hard to get excited about a lake, Mom.
I'm so sorry.
I made a lot of mistakes, I'm not a perfect person.
- I'm sorry.
- Well, it's a little late for apologies.
Look, sell Ojai or don't sell Ojai, I don't care.
But Holly and I need more time.
- I have to find Narrow Lake.
- Okay, guys, stop it.
Has it even occurred to you why Rebecca and I are here? - Did something else happen? - Yeah.
We got married.
- What? - Oh, my goodness.
- When? - At the courthouse.
We eloped.
This is our honeymoon.
I stupidly thought this would be the perfect place to come celebrate our marriage, okay? So figure it out.
Who the hell is that? I'm looking for Nora Walker.
- And Holly - Harper? You're both under arrest.
I can't really blame them eloping.
I suppose so, but I missed my only daughter's wedding.
Well, when we get out of here, we'll throw them a great big party.
Yeah, we'll have to celebrate.
Holly.
Thanks.
Thanks? We were just booked for grand theft auto.
Yes, I know.
Well, that's my fault.
But I don't know, maybe they're right what they say, sometimes it's about the journey.
And the journey today Well, if I didn't know better, I would think we were almost friends.
- What? - Well, I should have told you about this this morning, but our history is so complicated and I didn't wanna rock the boat.
Oh, God, should I brace myself? You know that leggy blonde that you saw William flirting with at that party in '73? - That was me.
- You? Yeah, that was the first night I met him.
Holly, forget about it.
Forget about it.
I don't care.
I am so over this, I can't begin to tell you.
Honestly.
I knew he was a womanizer, I just wanted to keep what we had.
Our family and Who cares? I know you think that he slept with that leggy blonde.
- You.
- Me, that weekend.
And you wanted proof to the contrary? Well, I've got it.
It was more than a month before we had sex.
I really wouldn't push it if I were you.
I know, I know, but what I'm saying is, he wasn't with me, so maybe he was really looking for land, like he said.
Oh, my God.
You mean, maybe he was telling me the truth for once? - Maybe he was out looking for land? - It's possible.
Check-out time, ladies.
- Oh, Robert.
- Hi.
You know what? Hang on just one second.
This is too good.
- Oh, no.
No.
- No.
- It's Mom.
- I'm not here.
Hi, Mom.
Yeah, yeah, he's here.
He's doing okay.
What? You're kidding me.
Well, yeah.
Of course.
Well, yeah.
Yes, Mom, I said that I would tell him.
But you need to let me get off the phone.
- What? - Well, you're never gonna believe this.
Our baby brother got married.
You're right, I don't believe it.
It's true, and they're all up at the old house in Ojai and they're having a dinner.
- Oh, no.
- Kev.
Kev, you gotta go.
- No.
- Oh, yes, Kevin, we have to go.
Your brother got married.
Kevin.
Hey.
- You all right? - No, but I'm here, so Look, I'm really sorry about what happened.
You don't need to apologize, all right? I should have pushed Dad for more answers.
Well, we were kids, we just did what we were told.
But I don't want you guys to sell the company because of me.
- We'll talk about it later.
- Okay.
- Is that Scotty? - Yeah.
I'm glad you're here.
Well, I'm here because of Justin and Rebecca.
Rebecca, I always wanted the perfect wedding for you.
The flowers, the music and the dress.
And you'd think that I would be a little upset about not being invited to my only child's wedding.
But sweetie, I have never seen you happier.
And Justin, I want to thank you for taking such good care of my little girl.
Every time I see you looking at her as if she is the center of your world, I am so happy that you can be part of our family.
Thank you.
Oh, and Rebecca, I talked to your father and he told me to tell you that you're gonna have to do this all over again, because he is determined to walk you down the aisle.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Okay, Justin, you really are an amazing little brother.
We can always count on you for compassion and kindness and you're also a handful.
Come on, let's face it, you've made more than your fair share of mistakes, but you always come back to what matters.
Love, and family.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
A special cheers to the senator for bailing out our mothers out of jail.
Hear, hear.
I have photos.
Yes, I'll delete them for the campaign, but how about that? Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Can you text it to me before you delete it? That is awful.
I hate you.
Oh, my God.
Hello? Oh, hi, Dr.
Avadon.
Who is ready for some cake? - Me.
- Me.
Actually, I'd like to say something first.
I guess if there's one thing I've learnt recently is, nothing makes sense in this world.
It's a mystery to me how anything happens, but it's what we do about it that counts.
How you both met, that was fate.
But that doesn't mean it was easy and a lot of things came between you and your love.
But you showed faith in each other and in the future.
And that's what I'd like to toast.
To trusting that the end is worth it and never letting go of its promise.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Thank you, Kevin.
- Cheers.
Kitty, what's wrong? Nothing.
Nothing.
It was That was That was really beautiful, Kev.
Kitty, what's going on? Well, I I just I just got my results from my first-Iook cancer checkup.
And I'm cancer-free.
I'm in remission.
Oh, Kitty, didn't I say? Oh, sib hug, sib hug.
Mom, I swear you could make cake stranded on a deserted island.
You're the MacGyver of food.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
Honey, I know I didn't make a speech tonight, but I wanted you to know how happy I am for the two of you.
- And I'm so proud of you.
- Oh, thanks, Mom.
I love you.
And just think, one more dinner in the old Ojai house.
You know those summers we used to spend up here as kids? Running around, trying not to kill each other.
You know what my favorite part was, Ma? When you'd call us in from the backyard.
Oh, yes, you would all come racing in, tripping all over each other, trying to be the first one at the dinner table.
Yeah.
And Dad would be sitting at the head of the table giving us his stupid quizzes and word puzzles.
But you? You would want to know everything about our day.
Whatever crazy idea we had or whatever, you'd listen to it all.
You made us feel like the most important people in the world, Mom.
Well, at least I did something right.
You did.
- Am I interrupting? - No.
After you two barging in on my honeymoon today - Oh, my God.
- Sorry.
I can't believe we interrupted your honeymoon.
Well, speaking of honeymoon, Mom, I figured you might want something for your scrapbook.
You know the "Press a Penny" place with the date shakes? Yeah, we each had one.
- Oh, my God.
- What? - I know it's lame, but - No.
- Holly, that weekend - What weekend? Well, your mom remembers this weekend in the summer of '73 when your dad said he was looking for land.
I remember now.
He brought me back one of these.
So he was looking for land.
Somewhere around here.
I'm gonna get the map.
So beautiful out here.
Yeah, I know.
So quiet.
Yeah, I feel like a storm's passed.
Tommy, what if we're making a mistake selling Ojai? Would you ever think about coming back? I don't know.
Well, I'll say one thing.
Whatever Dad's expectations of us were or whatever his vision for the company was, I don't really care about them anymore.
Hey, listen, if you could do anything, absolutely anything, with Ojai, what would it be? - Hypothetically? - Yeah.
I would I'd take that parcel of land up by Victorville.
Plant wild strawberries.
- Strawberries.
- Yeah.
I like that idea.
Okay.
So these are all the destinations in York's GPS? Yes, here's the list right here.
Yeah, we kept going in a circle, which is what I said.
We kept passing the same hill with the same mesquite tree.
You know that tree, Saul? That great big tree right there at the turnoff at 150.
Yeah, I know it, except it's a pepper tree.
- A pepper tree? - Wait, you don't - Pepper in your stepper.
- Kevin, come here.
We're trying to solve one of Dad's puzzles.
Can't.
Scotty's already in the car.
Come on, you're the best at trying to figure this stuff out.
We need help.
What is it? Riddle, anagram, what? Just a little ditty.
All right, what's? What's the circle for? The trail that York left with his food obsession.
Or else he was driving back and forth to Narrow Lake.
- That's it.
Look, that's it.
- What? If York was driving back and forth, if you triangulate all the stops, here's the center, right here.
Well, wait, but what's that road? - "Calle De Los Sue? Os.
" - "Street of Dreams.
" "Follow the dream, you and I.
" The pepper in your stepper.
Dreams.
Yeah, this has got to be it.
It has to.
We have gotta go back to route 150 and see what's at the end of that road.
Yeah, but that looks like a dead end.
Wait a minute.
"Narrow Lake" is an anagram for "Nora Walker.
" Good luck finding it.
- You're leaving? - Yeah.
All right.
Thank you.
- Congratulations, sister-in-law.
- Thank you.
Bye.
Kevin? Kevin, please talk to me.
I don't want to, Mom.
Not yet.
I love you.
I know.
This can't be it.
Well, it has to be.
Everything points here.
There's nothing here.
There's not even a lake.
I know, it does look like an empty piece of land.
But I'm telling you, Holly, I see our future here.
