I'll carve.

Mm.

We need more wine.

Jojo, breast?

-Breast or thigh?
-Hmm?

-Oh, um...

Jim, no phone at the table.

Both.

Well, someone's hungry.

This is the good stuff.

Costco had a sale.

Saving it for a special
occasion.

Tonight is a special occasion?

Every Sunday dinner,

with my two precious babies,

is a special occasion,
isn't it?

Say "yes," dear.

-Yes, dear.
-Thank you.

[ominous music]

[food splats]

Oh, no thanks,
I'm doing a cleanse.

A heavy cream
and cheddar cleanse?

Fatty-fatty-boom-boof?

Jim-jamin,
leave your sister alone.

She looks happy.

Healthy.

Robust.

Mom! I'm just taking a break
from booze.

Your blood is proof.

Well, addiction runs
on your father's side.

-Good for you, sweetheart.
-Great-grandfather.

[cell phone buzzes]

Are there bacon bits?

[scoffs] Are there bacon bits?

Of course, I mean,
is the Pope Catholic?

[Jerry] I'll get the bacon bits.
Of course, they're right here.

[Joy] Why would I not make
bacon bits?

There's always room
for bacon.

Here you go, Jojo.

Jim-jamin, red or white?

-Those crispy enough?
-Yeah.

-Beer?
-Uh, no, I'm good--

-We've got plenty in the fridge.
-I know you like them crisp.

Fine, I'll have white.

It's plenty crisp.

[wine glugs]

[Jerry] All right.

That's uh, that's good,
thank you.

[Jerry] Okay.
Don't make me get my belt.

All I ask for
is one evening a week

of your undivided attention.

Whether we like it or not.

A toast.

To a perfect night,
with my precious little babies.

It's bad luck to "cheers"
with water.

[silverware clinks]

-Okay.

This.

This is why Sunday family
dinners are so special.

[Joy] And I don't why her dog
loves that back Mugo Pine

so much, but it's the third
time this month.

So I call her on the phone,
and I say,

"Ronda, if I find another
mutilated rabbit back there,

I'm just gonna--" [laughs]

Well, okay.
The point of the story is,

it reminded of this time
when the two of you were little.

And, well,

You know if I had my way,

I would just shrink
you both down,

and stuff you back inside,
and do it all over again.

-[Jim] Gross. Gross!

I gotta pee.

Oh, forgive me
for loving my babies.

Just 'cause they cut

Oh, Jojo, use the one upstairs.

The doorknob down here
is broken,

it locks you in from the inside.

Don't ask.
Oh, this house!

Oh!

Jerry, we've gotta fix that.

[discordant string music]

[pills rattle]

Okay, what if I was pooping?

You're being weird
tonight, right?

I can't, okay? I can't.

I can't just take another
Sunday dinner,

where we just pretend
we're this cozy family,

where we talk, and we talk,

while Mom talks, and nothing
real is actually said.

Yeah, just put your head down,
and it'll be over soon.

Of course you would say that.

What is that supposed to mean?

Because at the first whiff
of conflict,

you always turtle
back into your shell.

What, I'm supposed
to be up here,

-pounding anxiety pills instead?
-I wasn't!

And, yes, of all of us,
you absolutely should have--

Okay, I'm sorry, I just don't
understand what your problem is.

The problem is Mom
can't get over the fact

that we're not babies anymore.

And I swear to God, if she says
"babies" one more time,

I'm gonna murder somebody.

Pregnant.

What? No.

Did you not hear anything--

I have never seen you
turn down wine.

You have baby on the brain.

And mosquito bites,
your boobs look huge.

They do, don't they?

I'm not pregnant.

-Mm...
-Where's Pete?

Wow. Okay?

Maybe you're avoiding
the subject a little bit?

-I would say?
-I am not avoiding the sub--

Mm!

[retching, gagging]

I'm gonna be a guncle.

[groans]

[lively fiddle music]

We have to tell them, Joy.

Ah, we will,
when the time is right.

The deal was dinner.

Good memories in this house.

-Can we just promise--
-Kids!

-No dessert!
-[Joy] Dishes!

No, they can't handle it, Joy,

otherwise, they'll show up
next Sunday, and--

And then it's Chickenfoot!

I mean, forget the spin cycle,
do I do color?

Do I do stainless steel?

Okay, just buy a new one,
you know?

It's been broken for--

Well, a dishwasher
is an investment piece,

more research is required.

It's just not the right time.

And when will the right time be?

Well, if we bought it already,

we wouldn't be sharing
this bonding moment

with our two babies.

[Jim] Whoa, what's with
all of the--

Costco had a sale.

-Honey, it's still dirty.
-Oh, I got it. I got it!

-Let me do it.
-Kids, your mother and I have--

Give it to me.

Nothing is going

Nothing.

Ooh, tricky fours.

I love Pete, he's a second son,

but tonight it feels
like old times,

just the four of us.

Yeah, it's too bad
that Pete's missing out.

Tricky threes.

[domino clicks]

[footsteps crunch]

-Still feeling nauseous?

you have the tummy rumbles?

I'm just waitin'

Yeah, well, you just stay fine,

It's freezing outside.

Well, it's a good thing
your father spent all afternoon

chopping wood to keep us toasty.

We have to tell them, Joy.

Tell us what?

That this is a Sunday dinner
to remember, that's all!

Oh, we have to rip off
the bandage!

So, one of the bus drivers,
a lady driver--

Total smoke show.

She looks at my ID and says,
uh, "Sanchez?"

I say, "Fuck yeah, Sanchez."

She gives me this deadly look.

Dear old Daddy-o,
he'd have pissed his panties.

[laughs]

Been a quivering pussy

But I got to admit,
for a moment there I thought,

fuckin' balls, I'm cooked.

And I paid a little Mexican

But it turns out,
she just wanted a taste

of Frank's old... hot sauce.

So-- [dishes rattle]

We spent three glorious nights
kapow-ing in El Paso.

Ah, I'm still off the grid.

Life is grand.

But I says to myself,

"Frank, you gotta get home

there might be a little
slice of pie in it for you."

Well, before we closed it
and retired,

um, you know, I mean,
it had been hemorrhaging money

for a decade, I mean,
the apps, and the taps,

and it was just--
it was just terminal.

But-- but a-- a friend
of Pop-Pop's,

an-- an old Navy buddy,
he needed a hip replacement,

and he started
a-- a-- a grow-op.

And you know I have a zero
tolerance policy for--

for-- for drugs,
and although we didn't handle,

personally, the merchandise,
he, um, he-- he--

he-- he needed
somewhere to hide--

-Yeah, not hide, uh, store.
-Store.

-Shift.
-Shift. Shift the extra money.

And, uh, using the, uh,
the travel agency's books,

-[Joy] Yeah, well,

-we moved a decimal.
-Or three.

Your father's so good
with numbers.

And I'm very good
with that, so we just--

You know, so we thought of
creative ways

to bring in income, and then,
you know, spend said income.

...that technically speaking,
weren't within the realm

-of legality, but--

of this story is--

Well, the point of the story is
your Uncle Frank caught wind...

you were laundering money,

a federal crime.

A crime!

-No. [scoffs]

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm taking the nest egg, too.

What nest egg?

Five million dollars?

-Five million.

-Turns out, moving money--
-Laundering.

-No, shifting.

a very lucrative business.

What we did was banded together.

We banded together.
Pardon me.

Banded together.

And now, now, we get
to keep our home.

Hmm?

Our home.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

-No, I'm not toasting.
-[Jerry] Come on.

One toast isn't gonna kill ya.

[chuckles] Kill ya.

-Kill ya.
-We are murderers, okay?

-We are murderers!
-No, no, no, no.

I-- I was acting
in self-defense.

[scoffs] For fuck's sake, Jim.

-Oh, language, sweetheart.
-[Jolene] Really, Mom?

If anyone killed him,
it was you.

-Um, you poisoned him.
-You stabbed him.

No! No!

I'm a conflict-avoider.
It was the pie.

-The pie killed him.
-Mom's banana breeze is deadly.

[cackles]

I'm on fire!

Well, if it was anyone,
it was your father.

Oh, he got him good.

Oh, do not sell yourself short,
love of my life.

Oh, you did such a number
on him with that lamp.

Oh, and that push.

It doesn't matter, okay?
It doesn't matter!

We are all guilty.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

No, that's not
what I'm saying, Dad.

We're all guilty.

We're gonna be spending
Jennings' family dinners

in jail, if we don't
take care of this.

No one knows he's here... right?

No.

No one's gonna miss him, right?

Your Uncle Frank
was widely disliked

by basically everyone
who met him.

We're the only family he's got.

So?

So, we gotta get rid
of the body.

We get rid of the body,
and all of this is over.

[dramatic string music]

I have some extra large
garbage bags in the basement.

That's a start.
Thank you.

Finally, we're dealing
with the reality.

They're on the top shelf.

After you, milady.

No champagne until I get back.

I am just so proud of you two.

Okay. Okay.

-We need a plan.
-Jail.

You said jail.
I can't go to jail.

No one is going to jail.

I mean, I've watched a lot
of prison porn,

but it's not the same thing.

Just listen to me, okay?

I'm not gonna give birth
in prison,

because if I'm there,
then Grandma's there,

and Pop-Pop's there,
and Guncle Jim.

We're all there.
So, who gets the baby?

This is not happening.
This is not haaaa--

Hey! I'm not gonna let
baby Judson

grow up with a mom in prison.
We just need a plan.

-Did you say Judson?
-Oh, my God!

There's more important things
to worry about right now!

No, I'm just saying,
I'm surprised you're sticking

with the "J" tradition,
that's all.

[Jolene sighs heavily]

Oh, here they are, these
are them, right, sweetheart?

[door rattles]

Uh, what's up?

Darling, it's freaking me out
a little bit, there.

I don't give a hoot
and a holler about the bags.

-It was all a ruse.
-[Jerry] Oh.

Oh! Ah! Oh.

-Oh. Oh.
-[muffled giggles]

[Jerry] Oh, my.

Oh! Oh!

Oh. Oh! Oh!

Oh!

Ah...

[Joy] I feel so alive.

[moans]

Oh, uh...

Yeah, if I'd known murder
was such an aphrodisiac,

I might have taken a little--

a little blue pill.

Oh! I might not need one.

-[bottles clinking]
-I don't need one!

Oh... Oh!

Oh! [glass shatters] Oh!

I haven't even decided
if I'm keeping it yet.

Well, if you do, and we all
go to prison...

-We won't!
-...then the baby's

just gonna go to the next
closest family member.

His dad.

Oh, my God.

Okay, I'm gonna go see
what's taking them so long.

You don't know who it is.

-You don't know who it is!
-Arghhh!

[door slams]

Mom? Dad?

What's taking so long?

[rhythmic creaking]

[gasps]

-Jerry.
-Yeah, that's my name.

-That's my name.
-No, Jerry.

Jerry!

Oh? Oh.

-[retches]
-Holy hell's bells.

Sweetheart!

Well, you think you'd be happy
that, you know,

there's still a spark
after 30 years.

-I mean--
-Sorry you had to see that.

Whoa! Ow!

[Jolene] No, get away!

[Joy] Honestly, I think
you're being a little dramatic.

-What happened?
-Oh, I think I twisted my wrist.

How could you,
at a time like this?

You know, it took me
by surprise, too.

Oh, honey, at our age, it's--

I could pour bleach in my eyes,
and never unsee that.

-Oh, God.
-Sweetheart.

-Please.
-No, stop, I can't--

I can't talk to you right now!

[gasps]

-[all] Oh!
-[Jolene groans]

[Ronda] Britney!

Britney!

Britney!

-Oh!
-Are you okay, Jojo?

-[Jolene] Shit, shit, shit.
-[Joy] Oh! Oh!

-Steady, steady, honey. Steady.
-[Jerry] Oh my, here, let me--

[Joy] Oh, be careful with that.

-Here, get on your knees.
There we go.

-Are you all right? Oh, honey.
-There we go.

[Joy] Honey, watch your step.

Yeah, just sit--
Oh, wait two ticks.

-Okay.
-Wait two ticks.

-[Jolene sobs]
-[Joy] Yeah. Yeah.

It's okay. It's all right.

Yeah, I just don't think
blood...

and upholstery mix.

Oh, that's such a good idea.
Yeah, okay, all right.

-Okay, honey. Okay, okay.
-Okay, here we go, honey.

-Watch your step.
-Three, two, one, plop-o.

Oh! You went down so hard.

Where does it hurt,
your tailbone?

-Do you need some ice, honey?
-Give her some space.

[Joy] Oh, ice is a good idea.

-Coors chaser, and an Advil--
-Oh, we can put you--

I'm not hurt, okay?

I'm pregnant!

And I'm just crying,
because I'm worried about...

[sighs]

The baby.

Of course, your boobs.

[groans]

Oh, my goodness. [laughs]

Oh, my goodness!

Our baby's having a baby!

-[laughing]
-I'm gonna be a Papa!

[Joy] Yes!

Could this night get any better?

Oh, God!

Oh! Come in here, Uncle Jim!

-Oh! [laughs]
-Get in, group hug!

-Ohhhh!
-Get-- get off!

Get off, okay? Stop!

Stop! I haven't decided
if I'm gonna keep it or not yet.

Oh, of course
you're gonna keep it.

No, not of course.

I was a Fertile Myrtle
at your age,

but that doesn't mean--

You're talking about an A-B-O--

Abortion?
Yeah, an abortion, Dad.

Ugh! Okay, this is exactly
why I didn't say anything,

because I knew this is how
you were gonna react.

So I'm not gonna be a Pop-Pop?

Well, how else are we gonna
react to the glorious news

that our beautiful daughter
is with child?

Ew! Don't say "with child."

[knocking on door]

Hey, y'all!

-[knocking]
-Hello?

-[banging on door]
-I know you're in there.

[knocking]

It's me. Ronda.

You left the lights on,
and it's just--

It's Sunday, so that means
Sunday dinner.

Go!

Oh, okay, well,

I'm just gonna sneak out back,
and check your yard.

See if my Britney's back there,
burying bunnies again.

Um, hey, there, Ronda!

Oh, howdy, Joy,
sorry to bother you.

If you'll just wait two ticks,
we're tidying up in here.

Oh, uh, no rush, but...

I know, I know.

[Ronda] It's kind of
an emergency.

-And I don't want to alarm you.
-Where?

The basement. The basement.

[Ronda] I've been walking
the neighborhood...

[Ronda's words muffled,
indistinct]

Because I've been so upset,
and I haven't really been...

Oh! Ow!

Hey, Jer, is that you?

Oh, hey there, Ronda.

Yeah, my hands are a little
tied at the moment.

Oh, I feel ya.

Well, as I was saying,
by golly, Britney ran away.

-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah?
-[Ronda] She's gone! She's gone!

-Lift him. Lift him!
-[Ronda talking, words unclear]

-What?
-[Jerry] Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Lift him! Lift him!

Lift him!

God knows which one is mine.
It's like, uh...

Oh, it's like three, and...

[Ronda continues talking,
words muffled]

-Come on, lift.
-[Jerry] Uh-huh, uh-huh.

What?

Come on, baby.

[Jerry] Oh, I didn't know.
I didn't know.

[Ronda] I told you
about the diabetes!

Go, go!

You know, she's--
She's got the diabetes.

Oh my goodness!

Anyway, she's doing
a lot better...

One, two...

Who's the father?

Oof! [whimpers] Oh!

She's got two knee places,

But her top-- no,
her bottom-- no.

Her bottom knee place,

sometimes she gets a little
hurt-y in there.

-[whimpering]
-[Ronda talking, words muffled]

[Ronda] So I'm just gonna go
check out the backyard.

I'm gonna take a real good look,
if you don't mind.

Oh, my God.

Britney's gone?
Oh, no!

Oh, yeah.

I took her for a pee,
and I didn't realize.

Y'all okay in there?

Oh, sure.

-Sure, sure.
-Yeah, I-- I just turned around,

and don't you know,
she was gone.

Oh, dear.
And with this cold snap.

-That's what I was thinking.
-Well, why weren't you?

Truth is,
we haven't seen her, though.

Oh. Are you sure?

I just know how she loves
that Mugo Pine out back.

-I'm gonna take a peek.
-Nope! No, no.

Um, she's not back there.

I just took a look.

Is that a Banana Breeze
I smell?

Nighty-night, Ronda.

[Ronda] Yeah.

-So I-- ah! Ah! Ah!
-[knocking]

If you see Britney, you'll...

you'll call me, right?

Will do.

[door slams]

Britney!

Britney!

Come to mama, sweetie.

Britney!

Love you, good girl.

[sighs] That was close.

Oh, my God.
Are you smiling?

No.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with you?

Do we even know
who the father is?

Focus on the task at hand!

Oh, Jesus Christ, Jolene.
He's not going anywhere.

-Who is it?
-It doesn't matter, okay?

-It's my decision.
-Well, sure, but who is it?

-Jim's getting a divorce.
-What?

Nope!

[Joy] Is that true, Jim-jamin?

-That's why Pete's been texting.
-I am stabbing you next.

Oh, my poor baby boy.
What happened?

We're not talking about this.

What happened was Pete.

[Jerry and Joy] Shifty Pete.

That's what your father
and I call him.

-I mean, not to his face.
-[Jim] What?

A little help, please.

Roll him up in the carpet.
It'll slide easier.

Oh, good thinking.

[Joy] The first night
we met Pete,

your father said, "You know,
he's a bit shifty."

[Jerry] And the name
just kind of stuck.

[Jim] Why are you
telling me this?

-You loved Pete.
-[Jim] Love.

Fine, love.
So, we loved Pete.

No heavy lifting.
Please help your sister.

Thing is, Jimmy-Jam,
just because we love Pete--

Well, it doesn't mean
we like Pete.

You don't like Pete?

No.

-No, no, no, no. We love Pete.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, we love Pete.

What?
I don't like him or love him.

Oh, my God!

-[Joy] And now a divorce.
-Are you smiling?

What, sweetheart?
No, I'm not smiling.

-Why didn't you tell us?
-Well, I don't know.

I thought maybe you'd freak out,

like you did over
Jolene's divorce.

But look at you,
you can hardly contain yourself.

Well, that was Carl, though.

[Joy] Yeah, Pete's no Carl.

Yeah. Apples to oranges.

Carl's not as great
as everyone thinks he was.

-Yeah, but wasn't he?
-No!

God forbid you listen
to the person

that was actually married
to him.

[Joy] Well, you two have been
so on and off over the years,

honestly, sweetheart.

You have a history of not
knowing what's best for you.

Carl? This was never
what was best for me.

Carl! Carl's the dad.

[gasps] You're getting back
together with Carl?

Wednesday night poker's
back on the table!

-Oh, that would be so--
-No, Carl's not the father,

and even if he was,
I wouldn't tell you.

Well, of course you wouldn't,

because, you know, it turns out
neither of my children

tell me anything.

[Jolene] Yeah, because you
think we're infants,

and you never tell us
anything, either.

Yeah, the money,
the travel agency,

the fact you hate my husband.

Lorazepam? I mean,
why are you taking Lorazepam?

-Anxiety!
-Why do you have anxiety?

[Jim and Jolene]
Why do you think?

[Jerry] You two
leave your mother alone.

-I didn't want you to worry.
-[Jim] I'm worried!

[Joy] And the money? Well,

The money was supposed
to be a surprise.

Yeah, that's right, a surprise.

We just always want
to protect you,

and-- and do what's best
for you.

[Jolene] What's best for us?

You've been lying to us
for God knows how long,

and now we're going to prison.

And not the sexy kind!

[Jerry] You two aren't too old
for my belt!

Well, isn't this just the best
Sunday dinner ever?

Turns out we live
in a house of lies.

A house of lies!

[all shouting at once,

Why am I the one
doing this, again?

[Jolene] Exactly.
Let me do it.

Oh, absolutely not.
Not in your condition.

[Jolene] Oh, don't say
"condition."

[Jerry] Your brother's
totally capable.

You've got this, Jim-jamin.

Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.

[Jerry] All right,
attaboy, attaboy.

On the count of three, now.

I don't know, Jer.

[Jerry] No, on the count
of three. On the count of three.

One, two, three.

-Gah! Oh my God.
-[Joy] Oh!

Oh, sweet baby Jesus.

I said start with an arm.

[Jim] I know, I tried, I tried.
I was aiming for the arm.

Oh, this-- this is a nightmare.

This is exactly the trouble
you had with T-Ball.

You have to keep your eyes
on the ball.

No, the problem I had
with T-Ball

is that I never wanted to be
in T-Ball.

There's nothing left
in my stomach.

Oh, it's like the sword
in a stone.

So what's Plan B?

Well, let's give him
a second chance.

-No, Jer, I don't think so.
-No, I mean, obviously,

-he's not up for it.

Dad, he can't.

He just can't hit them...
head-on.

Oh, my God.
Get behind the plastic.

your eyes open,

I am fucking ready!

That was actually,

-Oh.
-Mm-mm.

Oh, that, yeah.
Right. Yeah.

[Jolene] No, no.

What? Stop.

-Oh, Mom.

I'm-- I'm sorry, but I'm just--

I'm so proud of you.

-It is.

It's nice.

Oh, you two.
Lay off your mother.

This is what I always wanted
Sunday dinners to be like.

Us. Together.

You two are so grown up.

You're just figuring that out.

Honestly, Jolene, to me,
you've always been my baby girl.

I'm sorry your father
and I lied to you.

I did not give you
enough credit,

but I have to say,

it is kind of a relief
to have it all out in the open.

[chuckling]

And you two have
been very helpful tonight.

Group hug. Group hug.

-No, Dad!
-Come on.

No, come on, you.
Jennings group hug right now.

now that we're all
in this together, I feel like...

aforementioned reasons

that you are reluctant
to invite me into your home,

I will take your blinking twice

as a sign that
you require assistance,

and will take immediate action
to remove you

from said situation, ma'am.

Have I made myself clear, ma'am?

I, uh-- [stammering]

Is that an execution
of said signal, ma'am?

-No. Oh, no! No!
-Ma'am. Ma'am.

Officer, I'm fine.
Totally fine.

Everything's fine.

Well, then,
I look most favorably

to being invited inside
so that we might, A,

escape this cold, and B,

ensure that you
and your loved ones are safe.

Well, officer...

It's the neighborly thing
to do, ma'am.

Right. Right, of course.
Um, Officer...

-Truman.
-Truman.

-Officer Truman.
-Truman.

Well, welcome, Officer Truman.

[Joy] Officer Truman's
coming in the house.

-Evening, folks.
-Evening, officer.

And who do I have
the pleasure of addressing?

Oh, this is my husband, Jerry,
and my daughter, Jolene,

and my son, Jim, and I'm Joy.

Surname? Jennings.
Joy Jennings.

Jerry, Jen, Jolene,
and Joy Jennings?

-Mm-hmm.
-[Jim chuckling]

They have
this whole J obsession.

It's tragic.

I'm Pete!

Yes, of course, Pete.
How could I forget Pete?

-They're gay-married.
-It's just married, Jerry.

Almost divorced.

But if this little
handsome devil shapes up,

then we just might
be able to tough it out.

[whispering] He's hot! Ooh.

[sniffing]

You folks having a party?

Oh, no, just our regular
Sunday family dinner.

Then might
I inquire about the...

[chuckling]

-Oh.

I just feel
comfortable with that.

[Jim] Yeah, I get to...
Yeah, yeah.

Murder?

Mur-der?

Murder!

Murder!

Wow. You guys had a murder
mystery dinner without me?

-Oh.

[door creaking]

Every Jennings family dinner
for the last three years,

I have suggested that we just
shake things up a little bit

and totally try
a murder mystery dinner theme,

and you all look at me

like I've got 12 dicks
growing out of my forehead.

I'm assuming this is the cause
of the disturbance, ma'am.

It's-- it's-- it's fine

if you don't like me,
that's fine.

It's fine that you locked me
in a bathroom.

But this?

Oh, this is too much.

Too much.

I can forgive you
for fucking a bartender,

but having a murder mystery
without me?

I mean, come on.

Sir, please expand on
being locked in the bathroom.

Oh, officer, he wasn't locked in
so much as he was stuck.

He probably blacked out.

I blacked out?

Yep.

Folks, I'm gonna need to take
a look around.

Are there any other persons
on the premises?

[all] No, no, no. No.

You folks doing some renovating?

-[all] Yes, yes, yes.
-[Jim] New walls and things.

-[Pete] You're renovating?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, thank God.

This ancient wallpaper

What color are you going with?

[all] Red.

And I assume
this is the basement?

Oh, officer!

Uh, where are our manners?

Jim, why don't you give
the kind, friendly officer

a grand tour?

Of course, of course.

The kitchen. We gotta start
the tour in the kitchen.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Ma'am?

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

One should always start
a tour upstairs.

Officer,
please join me upstairs.

Holy fuck!
Jesus!

[Jolene gasping]

[Jim] Holy Jesus!

Fuck! Um, um,
you're gonna love upstairs.

[phone buzzing]

Folks, is there
something going on here

that you're not
telling me about?

Hey, Carl!

Why would you answer my phone?

'Cause it's Carl. I love Carl.

I can't talk right now.

Oh, 'cause it's not mine?

Jojo here is preggers,
and I'm gonna be a pop-pop.

-Hi, Carl!
-Hey, Carl!

Howdy, Jennings.

Y'all having
a super Sunday dinner?

Oh, yeah, it's really great.

Hey, Carl,
say hi to Officer Truman.

Hello, officer.

Carl?

Trust me, the baby is yours.

[clears throat] This seems
like a family matter.

Why don't I lead you to it?

-Hey, Carl!
-[Carl] Howdy, Jim.

It's 100% yours.

I didn't want to do this
in front of an audience,

but okie-dokie.

You can't be sure it's mine.

I mean, come on, we're
talking about you here, Jolene.

We were both drunk, and to
be honest...

you were a mistake.

But I'm happy to do
the gentlemanly thing

and go halfers with you
to get rid of it.

And I wouldn't want you all
thinking I'm not a good guy.

Fuck you, Carl.

Mrs. Jennings?

Don't you Mrs. Jennings her.

My daughter is no one's mistake.

She and only she
knows what's best for her,

so you can fuck off!

[call ends]

Thanks, Mom.

That?

That is not a good guy.

And to think, you liked to him
more than you like Pete here.

Oh, no, puppy.
You must be frozen.

[all] Pete! Pete!

Officer, officer, see,
this happens all the time.

The neighbor's dog,
Britney, getting loose.

They got it.

The poor dog was [indistinct].

That chew toy?
Super realistic.

Ma'am, step aside.

-[barking]
-This way?

Banana Breeze is
my goddamn favorite.

-This way.
-[Britney barking]

Folks, I'm getting
the feeling that tonight...

something fishy is going on.

Fishy? Hmm...

Fishy? No.

[Jolene] Fishy?
-Fishy?

I don't know what you could
possibly mean, officer.

-[barking]
-Something ain't right.

Hey, my pie!

My shenanigans alarm is
buzzing at a code red, folks.

No shenanigans here, officer.

Just a regular old
Jennings Sunday dinner.

No, something ain't right.

And I'm not leaving here
until I get to the bottom of it.

♪

Wait, where'd the dog go?

Oh, no, she escaped
out the front door.

She must have got out
when you left the door open.

I did not move the door--

-Are you sure you didn't?
-You absolutely moved--

Now, that's it.

Somebody better start giving
me some honest answers

right now
or I'm calling for backup.

-This is Truman--
-Wait, officer.

-[dispatch] ...go ahead.
-I'm gonna need

-some backup over here.
-I confess.

-Joy?
-Mom?

Mom.

-10-12, copy.
-[Jerry] Sweetheart?

I confess.

I confess that tonight's
been fucking awful.

-Ma'am, language.
-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

But we have been lying
to our kids...

for a long, long time.

That's right.

We've been having
some financial...

-hiccups.
-Bumps.

And our finances took
a, uh, serious... tumble.

And the reality of

suddenly losing our home
really knocked us over the head.

And if we hadn't lied
to our kids,

none of this
would have happened.

See, officer,
we had this huge fight,

and-- and I--
I poisoned the night

because I was keeping
this big secret to myself.

And the final twist of
the knife is I was lying, too.

I, uh, cheated on my husband.

And not only
was I lying to him...

Giant asshole.

I was lying to all of them, too.

So if-- if you were
getting the sense, officer,

that something fishy
was going on, it--

it's just because, well,
tonight's been, um...

well...

tonight's been murder.

[exhaling]

[dispatch] Still need that
backup, Truman? Copy.

That's an affirmative on that.

Girl! Enough
with the backup, 'kay?

Like, just--
just get out of here already.

The only thing that's going on
here tonight is family.

Fa-mi-ly.

I mean, you love 'em,

but some nights
you just wanna kill them.

[all chuckling]

-[radio beeping]
-Cancel that backup.

That is a negativo
on backup. Over.

[chuckling] I can relate.

Okay? Family, right?
It's just like...

[mimicking arguing]

[all chuckling

You know, you just...
[choking]

You know? [chuckling]

You know.

[dispatch]
Well, if you're done with

the 4-25 on Pine Crescent Way,

We have a lady 'round there,
Rhonda, won't stop calling.

Afraid she's in a panic
about her dog, Britney.

Well, ain't that
a dang coincidence?

I think I got
a 10-20 on said dog.

Well, duty calls.

I'll leave you to sort out
whatever family drama

you got going on.

-Good night, Jennings.
-[Jerry] Good night.

Wait.

[tense instrumental]

That still doesn't explain why

you're all wearing
Halloween costumes.

Oh, oh, oh, oopsie-daisies.

[sighing]

You're very, very handsome.

I-- I probably
shouldn't drive home.

Do you want to be my D.D.?

Drop me off at home
after we get that dog?

I would totally blow over.

That's fine.

Good night, Jennings.
Pete, you're with me.

Officer in hot pursuit.

Good night, Jennings-es.

[relieved chuckling and sighing]

Listen up, you fuckers.

I don't know
what's going on with the dog

and the plastic
and all you nervous Nellies,

but you better never forget
that it was Pete,

Pete that got rid of
the pigs for you.

You owe me, Jennings.

So next time I say we're having
a goddamn murder mystery,

we're having
a goddamn murder mystery.

-Shifty Pete.
-Shifty Pete.

See? He's actually
a really good guy.

Oh, my God.
Can we lock the door?

Now what?

I have a plan.
