THESE ARE ALL GETTING
SHIPPED OUT TOMORROW, RIGHT?

8:00 A.M. SHARP,
PICKUP IN CHICAGO.

GOOD, GOTTA MAKE
ROOM FOR ANDERSON.

GOT A ROW OF
20-FOOT HIGH CUBES.

- YOU OKAY, BEN?
- YEAH.

LEG CRAMP.

JUST GOTTA WARM IT UP.

AAH.

HEY.

COME ON, WE'RE
DONE FOR THE NIGHT.

- DON'T MIND IF I DO.
- THAT A BOY.

WHO THE HELL'S THAT?

- DON'T WORRY, I GOT THIS.
- NO, I GOT IT.

NO, IT'S OKAY.

GO HOME.

YOU DID GOOD
WORK TODAY, KID.

YEAH.

GO ON.

COME INSIDE, OVER HERE.

I'M SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU.

I WAS JUST GONNA MAKE
THE DELIVERY AS USUAL.

WE HAVE OTHER
BUSINESS TO DISCUSS.

AFTER.

SO...SHOW ME.
- OH, HERE.

100% COPPER.

THE INSURANCE WILL CITE IT
AS CARGO LOST IN TRANSIT.

THE WHOLE LOT
IS UNTRACEABLE.

YOU CAN MOVE
THIS STUFF

FOR 200 TIMES
WHAT YOU'RE PAYING.

GOOD.
GOOD.

WE HAVE ANOTHER JOB
FOR YOU, BEN.

FEEL LIKE STEPPING UP
IN THE WORLD?

- UH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- A SITE IN LOUISIANA.

INTERNATIONAL CARGO.

CARS, BOATS.

YOU'LL BE OUR MAN
ON THE GROUND.

WELL, UH, THANK YOU.

UH, YOU THINKING OF ME
THAT WAY, MR. SAKEN,

I APPRECIATE IT.

BUT MY FAMILY,
I DON'T THINK I COULD ASK THEM--

HEY, YOU!

GET YOUR GODDAMN
HANDS OFF ME!

WHAT THE HELL?

JESUS CHRIST, PAULIE.

WHO IS THIS?

THIS IS JUST A KID.

HE WORKS HERE.
- GO HOME, BEN.

THINK OVER OUR OFFER.
TALK TO YOUR FAMILY.

THE BAYOU IS LOVELY
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

YOU LAUNDERED MONEY.

FOR THE LITHUANIAN MOB.

I MADE SOME MISTAKES,
CECILE, I KNOW.

I NEEDED THE MONEY.

BUT IF I'D KNOWN
IT WAS GONNA GO LIKE THIS,

THAT THEY'D GO
AND KILL PAULIE...

- OH, WELL, PAULIE--
- TOM, NOT NOW.

NO, I MEAN, LOOK, I GET IT.
PAULIE'S LIKE A SON TO YOU.

NO, THEY DO A THING
LIKE THAT--TO A KID LIKE THAT,

YOU BET YOUR ASS
I TESTIFY AGAINST THEM.

YOU BET
YOUR ASS I DO.

I'M NOT SURE YOU APPRECIATE
WHAT A BIG DEAL THIS IS.

YOUR FATHER'S GONNA
PUT MYKOLOS SAKEN AWAY

FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

BUT THE THING IS,
SAKEN'S NOT THE TYPE

TO GO QUIETLY.

HE'S A HEAVY HITTER
FOR THE LITHUANIAN MOB.

HE'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO
KEEP YOUR FATHER OFF THE STAND.

- MEANING?
- MEANING YOU'RE IN DANGER.

ALL OF YOU.

LOOK, JUST COME WITH ME.

THESE PEOPLE,
THEY CAN HELP US.

THEY CAN
KEEP US SAFE.

WE WERE SAFE.

WE WERE, DAD.

NOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
LEAVE OUR LIVES IN THE WIND?

START OVER LIKE, WHAT,
WE'RE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY?

YOU BARELY EVEN KNOW
YOUR OWN GRANDSON.

HE'S FIVE.

AND FORGET ABOUT STEVE,

GOD FORBID YOU
EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE HIM.

I DON'T WANNA
TALK ABOUT THAT.

GREAT, OUR WITNESS
IS ARCHIE BUNKER.

EXCEPT, YOU KNOW, NOT FUNNY.
- OH, LOOK, WE'RE STUCK IN 1985.

DADDY CAN'T DEAL
WITH HIS GAY SON.

ALL I NEED NOW ARE MY
ACID-WASH JEANS AND A SCRUNCHIE.

HEY.

NOBODY CARES WHOM YOU DATED
WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.

AND SAKEN WILL NOT HESITATE
TO PUT YOU IN THE GROUND.

COME INTO THE PROGRAM
AND WE CAN PROTECT YOU.

AND YOUR PARTNER.

AND YOUR SON.

LOOK, DAD,
I'M SORRY ABOUT PAULIE.

I KNOW HOW TOUGH
THIS MUST BE ON YOU.

BUT STEVE AND I,
WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

WE, UH--WE'LL LEAVE TOWN.
WE HAVE FRIENDS IN MIAMI.

IT'LL BE HARD,
BUT--I DON'T KNOW.

DYLAN LOVES THE OCEAN.
WE'LL CHANGE OUR NAMES.

VANISH.

HMM, YOUR OWN
LITTLE MAKESHIFT WITSEC,

SOUNDS ALMOST ROMANTIC.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

STUBBORN IN
THE GENE POOL?

I DON'T WANT
TO LOSE EITHER OF YOU.

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE.

C.C.

GO WITH TOMMY.

YOU NEED EACH OTHER
WAY MORE THAN YOU NEED ME.

WELL, SOMEBODY
DO A HEAD COUNT,

WE'RE WHEELS-UP IN 40.

A WEEK
BEFORE MY FATHER LEFT,

WE WERE IN THE KITCHEN
AS THE SUN CAME UP.

JUST THE TWO OF US.
I WAS SIX.

MOM WAS PASSED OUT
IN THE BEDROOM

IN A TANGLE
OF SWEATY SHEETS

WHILE I SCAVENGED CUPBOARDS
IN A NEARLY-EMPTY FRIDGE

FOR ANYTHING TO EAT.

DAD CALLED ME OVER
TO THE TABLE,

TOLD ME TO BRING
THE MILK.

WE SAT THERE,
THE LAST MEAL WE EVER SHARED,

EATING OREOS
THAT HE'D LEFT OUT OVERNIGHT.

OH, GOD.

OKAY.

HEY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY
PICTURES OF DAD?

I DON'T KNOW, I COULD DIG UP
A COPY OF HIS WANTED POSTER.

WHY?
- OH, VERY FUNNY.

UH, IT'S FOR
A VIDEO MONTAGE.

PETER'S IDEA.

IT'S TO GREET THE GUESTS AS
THEY WALK INTO THE RECEPTION.

YEAH, LOOK, I HATE TO BREAK
THIS TO YOU, BUT WE DIDN'T

EXACTLY LIVE
A VIDEO MONTAGE KIND OF LIFE.

I'M SERIOUS, MARY.

I THINK THAT DAD
SHOULD BE REPRESENTED.

IN ONE AT LEAST.
- WHY?

WELL, PETER AND I WERE
IN BED THE OTHER NIGHT AND--

OKAY.
NO, THANK YOU.

GOING THROUGH
SHOE BOX AFTER SHOE BOX

OF ALL THESE AMAZING
FAMILY PHOTOS.

MOM AND DAD AT A DRIVE-IN,
HIS SISTER PLAYING SOCCER.

THEY WERE ALL
SO PERFECT.

YEAH, PERFECT IS OVERRATED.

PUT THAT IN LATIN,
IT'S A SHANNON FAMILY MOTTO.

I MEAN, NO MATTER WHAT,
DAD'S PART OF OUR STORY.

MM.
OH, BOY.

LISTEN, UM, I'M LATE FOR WORK.
LET'S TALK LATER, OKAY?

OKAY.

OVER SOFT, STALE OREOS,

MY FATHER TOLD ME
WE WERE SPECIAL

BECAUSE WE KNEW A SECRET
THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T.

LIKE MANY THINGS,
AN OREO, OVER TIME,

BECOMES THE VERY BEST
VERSION OF ITSELF.

THAT WAS HIS LAST
BIT OF WISDOM.

THE FINAL GOSPEL
OF JAMES WILEY SHANNON.

FIVE DAYS LATER,
HE WAS GONE.

I PEED ON A STICK,
THAT'S IT.

FOR ALL I KNOW,
I'M NOT PREGNANT.

THOSE TESTS
ARE REALLY ACCURATE.

YOU NEVER HEARD
OF A FALSE POSITIVE?

THERE'S A MILLION WAYS
THOSE TESTS CAN GO WRONG.

- A MILLION.
- THERE ARE WAYS, MARSHALL.

YOU LED THE SHARPSHOOTING
SEMINAR IN WITSEC TRAINING,

I'M PRETTY SURE YOU
DIDN'T MISS THE STICK.

OKAY, IT MIGHT BE
A FALSE PREGNANCY.

THEY EXIST,
I READ ABOUT THEM ONLINE.

HOW MANY MORE SYMPTOMS
DO YOU WANT?

I COULD HOLD A RABBIT
A BLOCK AWAY FROM YOU,

IT WOULD STILL DIE.

THE RABBIT TEST?
REALLY, GRANDPA?

I KNOW YOU'RE PREGNANT,
I KNOW YOU KNOW YOU'RE PREGNANT,

AND I KNOW YOU DON'T
WANNA BE PREGNANT,

SO YOU'RE GONNA PUT OFF DEALING
WITH IT FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN.

MY GOD, PLEASE
DON'T BE THAT GUY.

- WHAT GUY?
- THAT GUY.

THE GUY WHO THINKS HE KNOWS
WHAT'S BEST FOR THE GIRL.

I HATE THAT GUY.
THAT GUY'S A DICK.

ERRATIC HORMONAL SURGES
DULY NOTED.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
IF I AM PREGNANT,

AND THAT'S A HUGE IF,
THEN I AM PREGNANT.

I'M NOT SOME
GROTESQUE STEREOTYPE

OF HORMONAL
MOOD SWINGS, COPY?

MARY, MARSHALL, STAN
WANTS TO SEE YOU IN HIS OFFICE.

THANKS, DELIA.

YOU LOOK REALLY NICE TODAY.

YOU BOUGHT THAT?
HORMONAL MOOD SWINGS MY ASS.

SUCKER.

- OKAY.
- WHAT'S UP?

JUST GOT A CALL
FROM FRED ZEITLIN.

ZEITLIN?

OH, MAN, CAN'T
GET RID OF THAT GUY,

HE'S LIKE HERPES
OR A CELL PHONE CONTRACT.

LOOKS LIKE SAKEN'S
BEEN KEEPING TABS

ON BEN KULPAK'S FAMILY.

- WHAT?
- FBI GOT A HIT.

NOTHING ACTIONABLE,
BUT THE MIAMI FIELD OFFICE

HAS GOT AN EYE OUT
FOR SAKEN'S MEN.

I'LL CALL BEN,
OUGHT TO BE FUN.

EIGHT WEEKS UNTIL TRIAL
AND HE TRACKS THEM DOWN.

TALK ABOUT LUCKY.

MORE LIKE DETERMINED,
GUY'S GOT A LOT TO LOSE.

ZEITLIN'S PRETTY SURE
IF HE CAN

GET SAKEN ON THE
MURDER CHARGE, HE'LL FLIP.

THE GUY'S NOT
GONNA WALK, THOUGH.

NAH, ZEITLIN FIGURES HE'LL
COP TO LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE.

GUESS IT BEATS
THE ALTERNATIVE.

GOT HIS VOICE MAIL.

BETTER AS
A FACE-TO-FACE ANYWAY.

TAKE A RIDE,
IF HE STILL WANTS

HIS FAMILY TO COME IN,
THEN WE'RE GONNA NEED

TO GET THEM
HERE BEFORE, WELL...

THE LITHUANIANS MURDER THEM.

YES, DELIA...THAT.

- A DOCTOR.
- NO.

- AN OB/GYN.
- STILL A DOCTOR, STILL A NO.

IT'S A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST.

IT TAKES FIVE MINUTES.
FIVE MINUTES.

"FIVE MINUTES TO BLOOD TEST,
FIVE MINUTES TO BLOOD TEST."

EASE UP, RAIN MAN.

MAYBE COUNT SOME CARDS
OR TOOTHPICKS OR SOMETHING.

- WE'RE HAVING A BABY, MARY.
- OH, WE ARE?

I'M WITH YOU EVERY DAY--
IF YOU'RE HAVING A BABY,

TRUST ME,
WE'RE HAVING A BABY.

FINE, WHATEVER.

JUST GET BACK TO ME
WHEN YOU NEED

THREE JOG-BRAS
TO RUN TO THE PHONE.

RAY'S PLUMBING AND HARDWARE.

HI, THIS IS BEN KARNEY'S
COUSIN, MARY. IS HE AROUND?

HE DIDN'T SHOW TODAY.

HUH, THAT'S NOT LIKE HIM.
IS HE OKAY?

I HAVE NO IDEA.
THE PRICK DIDN'T EVEN CALL.

OKAY, THEN.
I'LL TRY HIS HOME.

ALREADY ON IT.

- I'LL GO AROUND THE SIDE.
- ALL RIGHT.

MARSHALL! HE'S DOWN!
BLOOD AROUND THE HEAD!

KICK IT!

U.S. MARSHALS!

HEY.

CLEAR!

I GOT A MAN UNCONSCIOUS,
TRAUMA TO THE HEAD.

I NEED AN AMBULANCE
AT SAN PATRICIO AND REYNOLDS.

BEN...BEN!

SINCE 1970, THE FEDERAL
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM

HAS RELOCATED
THOUSANDS OF WITNESSES,

SOME CRIMINAL, SOME NOT,

TO NEIGHBORHOODS
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

EVERY ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS
SHARES A UNIQUE ATTRIBUTE,

DISTINGUISHING THEM FROM THE
REST OF THE GENERAL POPULATION.

AND THAT IS,
SOMEBODY WANTS THEM DEAD.

SO NO WAY
THIS WAS A HIT.

NO BREAK-IN,
NO SIGNS OF STRUGGLE.

AND SAKEN'S NOT EXACTLY
KNOWN FOR FINESSE.

OR SURVIVORS.

SO WE'VE GOT SECURITY
POSTED AT EVERY ENTRANCE

AND WOLK
IS STILL EXAMINING BEN.

IN OTHER WORDS,
YOU'VE GOT TIME.

FOR WHAT?

A BLOOD TEST. I'M PRETTY SURE
THEY DO THEM HERE.

OH, MY GOD.
HONESTLY, MARSHALL.

LOOK, THIS IS
WHAT IT'S COME TO.

I'M ACTUALLY HAPPY
TO HEAR FROM MY SISTER.

HEY, BRANDI.
WHAT'S THE LATEST?

- OH, YOU'RE WORKING, I KNOW.
- WORK-SCHMORK.

YOU'RE MY SISTER.
YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED.

I WOULDN'T CALL IF IT
WASN'T REALLY IMPORTANT.

LIKE MOM'S-IN-JAIL-ON-A-DUI
"REALLY IMPORTANT?"

OR BON-JOVI-JUST-STOPPED-TOURING
"REALLY IMPORTANT?"

IT'S ABOUT THE WEDDING.
UH, WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

OH, UM, I DON'T KNOW.

MARSHALL, STAN.

TWO PEOPLE?

YOU'RE INVITING
TWO PEOPLE?

THAT'S NOT
A GUEST LIST.

THAT'S NOT EVEN
A GAME NIGHT.

CAN I COUNT MOM?

PETER'S GUEST LIST
IS AT 200 AND COUNTING.

EVEN IF I INCLUDE
EVERY LAST JERSEY FRIEND,

I'M AT 13, AND THAT'S
IF WE ASK LAUREN AND SCOTT.

WHICH WE SHOULD, BY THE WAY.
THEY'RE FAMILY.

HALF-FAMILY.

MARY, I'M A BRIDE WITH NO
GUESTS ON MY SIDE OF THE AISLE.

WE HAVE NO FRIENDS.
WE PUSH EVERYBODY AWAY.

SOME MIGHT CALL THAT
SELECTIVE WELCOMING.

THIS IS, LIKE,
A TOTAL DISASTER.

LET ME PITCH ELOPING
TO MEXICO ONE LAST TIME.

HELLO?

TELL ME YOU'RE
GOOGLING HOTELS IN CABO.

HEY, SORRY, I'VE GOT
AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY ON MY END.

WE'LL FIX THIS LATER,
SQUISH, OKAY?

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.

OKAY.

THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE.

I HAVEN'T WON ANYTHING, HAVE I?
- WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

LIVER FAILURE?

WHICH IS WHY
YOU PASSED OUT.

PULLED THAT GREG LOUGANIS
INTO THE COFFEE TABLE.

WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING,
BEN, IS ACUTE CIRRHOSIS.

HAVE YOU BEEN FEELING ILL
FOR A WHILE?

NOT REALLY.

LEGS ACHE MORE OFTEN
THAN I'D LIKE,

BUT NOTHING I NEEDED
TO SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT.

ANY NAUSEA?

- SOME.
- HOW ABOUT DIZZINESS?

A BIT.
I THOUGHT I HAD THE FLU.

THIS MORNING THOUGH,
I JUST BLACKED OUT.

YOU BEEN DRINKING?

NO.

I QUIT A YEAR AGO.

COLD TURKEY.

TURNED MY LIFE AROUND.

SO...

WHAT KIND OF TIME
WE LOOKING AT?

WELL, IN MY EXPERIENCE,
WITHOUT A TRANSPLANT,

SIX WEEKS, MAYBE SEVEN.

SIX WEEKS?

GOD.

HEARING THAT, YOU'D THINK
IT WOULD HURT MORE.

YOUR MEDICAL SITUATION
MAY BE DIRE, BEN,

BUT IT'S NOT
WITHOUT OPTIONS.

TSK, I DON'T
DESERVE OPTIONS.

YOU DO BAD THINGS,
YOU HURT YOUR FAMILY--

HEY DOC,
YOU GOT A SEC?

GETTING CAUGHT--
THAT I DESERVE.

GIVING UP MY LIFE,
MY KIDS.

SIX WEEKS, THAT'S PRETTY GRIM.
TALK TO ME ABOUT TRANSPLANTS.

WELL, I'LL LOOK
AT THE UNOS LIST.

MM-HM.

MEANTIME, IT WOULDN'T HURT
TO STEER HIM TOWARDS

A MORE POSITIVE
FRAME OF MIND.

POSITIVE, RIGHT.
MARSHALL'S GOT THAT COVERED.

CONGRATULATIONS, BY THE WAY.

HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?

WHAT--HOW DID YOU...

AM I SERIOUSLY THAT FAT?

MARY, I SEE YOU REGULARLY.

AND ALSO...

KINDA HARD TO MISS.
- OH, ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, I TOOK
A PREGNANCY TEST.

KIND OF BANKING ON
A FALSE POSITIVE.

- DOUBTFUL.
- MM.

'CAUSE THEN YOU'D
BE MISSING AN ENZYME

AND THAT WOULD
MAKE YOU SERIOUSLY ILL.

SO YOU'RE SAYING
THERE'S HOPE.

STOP BY MY OFFICE
BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

WE'LL DO A BLOOD TEST
TO MAKE SURE, OKAY?

YEAH.

- MARY.
- YEAH.

MARSHAL, MARSHALL MANN,
ZEITLIN'S HERE.

THIS LATEST DEVELOPMENT,
HAD TO CALL HIM.

ZEITLIN.

EXPLAINS THE NAUSEA.

THE LITHUANIAN
OPERATION IS MORE

THAN JUST
MONEY LAUNDERING.

THEY'RE TERRORISTS.

WE'RE TALKING MURDER,
DRUG SMUGGLING, PROSTITUTION.

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT
THEY DO TO UNWIND.

NOW I'VE BEEN TRACKING
THIS GROUP FOR 17 MONTHS

AND I'M TELLING YOU,
THEY ARE A SCOURGE.

THE GROUP, NOT
LITHUANIANS AS A WHOLE.

UH...

MY MOTHER'S SIDE
IS HALF-LITHUANIAN,

I'M NOT
BEING A RACIST.

HUH.

NEXT MOTHER'S DAY MAYBE
EMBROIDER THAT ON A PILLOW.

BOTTOM LINE, ZEITLIN,
UNLESS HE GETS A TRANSPLANT,

BEN'S NOT
MAKING IT TO TRIAL.

GREAT. WOULDN'T WANT
ANYTHING TO BE EASY, EVER.

THAT'S RIGHT.
HE GAVE HIMSELF LIVER FAILURE.

YOU KNOW, TO SPITE YOU.

YOU CAN'T JUST VIDEOTAPE HIS
TESTIMONY, GET IT ON THE RECORD?

NAH, IT'S IFFY TERRITORY.

THE COURT WILL LIKELY
BOUNCE THAT AS HEARSAY.

MEANWHILE, ANY DEFENSE COUNSEL
WORTH HIS SALT'S GONNA

RUN THE CLOCK,
WAIT FOR BEN TO CHECK OUT.

AND MY RICO CASE
ALONG WITH HIM.

TSK.

THESE SITUATIONS,

FAMILY MEMBERS ARE
THE BEST BET FOR A MATCH.

YOU ASK BEN
ABOUT HIS KIDS?

NOT YET.

MAYBE CAPTAIN PEOPLE SKILLS
WANTS TO TAKE A SHOT.

NO?

COME ON, I BET YOU GOT
A HELL OF A BEDSIDE MANNER.

HOW YOU DOING, BEN?

EH, BEEN BETTER,
MR. ZEITLIN.

THAT WAS FUNNY.

ALL THE PROGRAMS
I TRIED OVER THE YEARS,

THE ONE THAT GOT ME
TO QUIT DRINKING WAS WITSEC.

I GUESS THE DAMAGE
WAS ALREADY DONE.

UH-OH.

HE'S GIVING YOU THE NOD.
THAT CAN'T BE GOOD.

LISTEN, BEN, THERE'S
NO EASY WAY TO SAY THIS.

WELL, NO EASY WAY TO SAY
I GOT LIVER FAILURE, EITHER.

BUT THEY MANAGED.

THE FBI BELIEVES THAT SAKEN'S
MEN HAVE LOCATED YOUR CHILDREN.

WHAT?

ARE THEY OKAY?

THEY'RE FINE
RIGHT NOW, BEN.

FOR NOW.
- WELL, CAN YOU--OH, GOD.

WELL, CAN YOU HELP THEM?

WE CAN GO BACK
TO THE WELL, AGAIN.

TRY TO GET THEM TO
COME INTO THE PROGRAM.

PER THE M.O.U., YOU NEED TO
RECONFIRM THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

YEAH, OF COURSE.

YES, OF COURSE
I WANT THAT.

I DON'T KNOW
IF THEY DO.

WELL, THEY'VE HAD
TIME TO COOL DOWN.

YEAH.

YEAH, YEAH.
IT WOULD MEAN A LOT, YOU KNOW?

TO HAVE THEM--
TO HAVE MY FAMILY HERE.

YOU KNOW,
EVEN JUST FOR...

WELL, I GOT A LOT
OF STUFF TO SAY.

WE'RE ON THE FIRST PLANE
TO MIAMI.

LOOK, THE LAST THING WE'D WANT
IS YOUR FAMILY IN JEOPARDY.

BUT THE UPSIDE IS THE SOONER
THEY'RE IN ALBUQUERQUE,

THE SOONER
THEY CAN COME IN

TO SEE IF THEY'RE A MATCH.

A MATCH?

WHAT? NO.

TESTING TOMMY AND CECILE
IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

I FORBID IT!

BEN, YOU'RE A WITNESS.

YOU'RE NOT IN
THE FORBIDDING BUSINESS.

FORBIDDING'S ALL MINE.

YEAH, WELL,
THIS BODY'S ALL MINE.

LOOK, I'M GRATEFUL TO YOU.

I AM.

THIS LAST YEAR OF MY LIFE
IN THE PROGRAM, IT'S CHANGED ME.

BUT ASKING MY CHILDREN

TO UNDERGO
A SURGERY LIKE THIS,

AND FOR WHAT?

A LITTLE MORE TIME WITH
A GUY THEY CAN'T STAND?

NO.

SO YOU'D RATHER DIE THAN
ASK YOUR CHILDREN FOR HELP.

I WILL HONOR
MY AGREEMENT.

I WILL TESTIFY EARLY.

DO WHATEVER YOU
NEED ME TO DO.

BUT YES, I WOULD RATHER DIE
THAN HAVE YOU TEST MY CHILDREN.

OH, MY GOD, MIAMI.
EVEN THE HUMIDITY'S HUMID.

I DON'T MIND.

IT'S GOOD FOR THE PORES.

WHAT? A MAN CAN'T
CARE ABOUT HIS COMPLEXION?

JUST STEP ON IT, LADY.

I GOTTA PEE LIKE
A RUSSIAN RACEHORSE.

- TEAMSTER.
- TINKER BELL.

YOU SURE IT WAS A GOOD IDEA
FLYING DOWN HERE, CONSIDERING--

MARSHALL, FINE.
I TOOK A BLOOD TEST.

IT WAS POSITIVE.
YOU HAPPY?

- ARE YOU?
- THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

THE POINT IS, DR. WOLK SAID
IT'S FINE FOR ME TO FLY

IN MY FIRST TRIMESTER.

SO HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE CARE
OF YOUR UTERUS,

I'LL TAKE CARE OF MINE.

ALL RIGHT, BUDDY,
HERE WE GO.

LET'S PUT YOU DOWN
FOR A LITTLE NAP ACTION.

WE SHOULD BE GOOD FOR
HALF AN HOUR AT LEAST.

KID CAN SLEEP THROUGH
A JACKHAMMER.

HMM.

HOW IS HE WITH
SMALL ARMS FIRE?

DIVING RIGHT IN.

THE MEN WHO WANT
YOUR FATHER DEAD ARE IN MIAMI,

AND IT'S NOT
FOR THE STONE CRABS.

- OH, MY GOD.
- THEY'RE HERE FOR US?

YES.
LOOK, GUYS,

THE SAFEST THING
FOR ALL OF YOU NOW

IS WITNESS PROTECTION.

THE GOOD NEWS IS EVERYTHING
WE TALKED ABOUT IN DETROIT

IS STILL ON THE TABLE.

YOU COULD JOIN
YOUR FATHER.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY
A SELLING POINT.

TOM.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,
I THINK YOU'LL FIND HIM

A CHANGED GUY.

HEH, A YEAR IN WITSEC

AND A HOMOPHOBIC
CONSTRUCTION WORKER

LEARNS TO LOVE
HIS OPENLY GAY SON?

NEXT ON A VERY
SPECIAL EPISODE OF
GLEE.

FINE, SCREW YOUR DAD,
WHAT ABOUT YOUR SON?

I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S
HARDLY GROUNDBREAKING.

WHO DOESN'T HAVE
A MESSED-UP DAD?

DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A KUMBAYA MOMENT WITH HIM

WHEN YOU GET THERE, BUT
IF YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY SAFE,

COMING INTO WITSEC
IS THE ONLY WAY.

TOM, COME ON.

HOW IS THIS
EVEN A DECISION?

C.C., IT'S--
STEVE'S AT WORK.

I GOTTA TALK
TO HIM NOW.

I'M NOT GONNA HAVE HIM
GIVE UP HIS LIFE,

YOU KNOW,
OVER THE PHONE.

I'LL GET DYLAN.
- FINE, LET'S MOVE.

WHATEVER THEY DECIDE,
WE'RE COMING WITH YOU.

I'LL SEE TO IT.

GOOD.

YOUR DAD WILL BE RELIEVED.
- YEAH.

THIS WHOLE THING IS JUST--
THEY USED TO BE REALLY CLOSE,

YOU KNOW,
TOM AND MY FATHER.

THEN TOM DROPPED
THE GAY-BOMB?

IT WAS THE HARDEST THING
HE EVER HAD TO DO.

EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S SO
EASY THESE DAYS, COMING OUT.

EXCEPT WHEN IT'S YOU
AND YOU THINK

YOU'RE GONNA
LOSE YOUR FAMILY

AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S EASIER
DOESN'T MAKE IT EASY, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

I WATCHED HIM STRUGGLING,
NOT DEALING WITH IT

FOR AS LONG
AS HE COULD.

TILL HE COULDN'T?

AT FIRST, HE DIDN'T
EVEN BELIEVE TOM.

THEY'RE EXPERTS AT DENIAL.

BOTH OF THEM,
THEY SHOULD TEACH A CLASS.

MM-HMM.

AND THEN WHEN
TOM MET STEVE

AND ADOPTED DYLAN,
MY DAD JUST...

I MEAN,
FOR SOME PEOPLE--

CHANGE HAPPENS TOO FAST.

AND HE'S NOT
A BAD MAN, YOU KNOW?

HE LOVED US, DID THE BEST
HE COULD, ALL OF THAT.

AND I TRIED TO
BRIDGE THE GAP, YOU KNOW.

BUT, UH, DO YOU KNOW
HOW EXHAUSTING IT IS,

TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR
ENTIRE FAMILY LIKE THAT?

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.

HEY, PICKLE!

- CECILE!
- AUNT C.C.!

CECILE, GET BACK!

GET OUT OF THE STREET!

DYLAN!
- DYLAN, NO! OH, MY GOD.

YOU'RE OKAY, YOU'RE OKAY.
ARE YOU OKAY?

IS HE OKAY? ARE YOU OKAY?
- DYLAN.

COME WITH US NOW
OR GO HOME AND PACK.

EITHER WAY,
SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE PALM TREES.

- YOU ALL RIGHT?
- FINE.

JUST CAUGHT THE KID'S
ELBOW IN MY EYE.

WHAT, MARSHALL,
I'M FINE.

OKAY, I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT.

YOU TOOK A FALL,
A BAD ONE.

- GEE, YOU THINK?
- YOU SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR.

AND NOT TOMORROW.

SERIOUSLY, MARY,
A PERSON IN YOUR CONDITION--

MARSHALL, I'M PREGNANT.
I'M NOT DISABLED, OKAY?

OKAY.

SO, UM, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

I DON'T KNOW. THE PLAN IS
I'D RATHER NOT BE PREGNANT.

BUT I'LL DO WHAT I DO,
PROTECT AND RELOCATE.

THERE MUST BE HUNDREDS OF
COUPLES IN A TEN-MILE RADIUS

WHO'D KILL FOR THE SHOT
AT 3:00 A.M. FEEDINGS,

AND I'M JUST THE GIRL
TO GIVE IT TO THEM.

JUST LIKE THAT?
YOU SURE?

NO, I'M NOT SURE OF ANYTHING,
EXCEPT I WANNA KEEP DOING MY JOB

AND I DON'T WANT
ANYONE ELSE TO KNOW.

AND IF YOU KEEP TREATING ME
LIKE SOME SORT OF WOUNDED KOALA,

SOMEONE'S GONNA
FIGURE IT OUT.

- HERE, I'LL GET THAT.
- NO, NO, NO.

I MUST.

AM I...IS IT...

CAN I...

OH, THANK GOD I'M STILL
ABLE TO OPEN A DOOR.

I THINK I SHOULD
GO LIE DOWN.

- OKAY.
- JEEZ.

HOPE YOU GOT THE NUMBER
OF THE TRUCK THAT HIT YOU.

YOU OUGHT TO PUT SOME
CONCEALER ON THAT.

- WHAT'S THE POINT?
- TO CONCEAL IT--IT'S CONCEALER.

DAMN IT,
I GOTTA PEE...AGAIN!

SO, LIKE THAT,
EVERYTHING IS GONE?

OUR FRIENDS, OUR JOBS?

WHERE'S DYLAN
GONNA GO TO SCHOOL?

TRUST ME, THERE WILL BE
PLENTY OF TIME

TO IRON OUT THE DETAILS.

FOR NOW, LET'S JUST
GET YOU SETTLED.

AND HE'S HERE, MY DAD?

YES, BUT TO BE CLEAR,
A PLACEMENT IN ALBUQUERQUE

DOES NOT MANDATE
HAVING TO SEE YOUR FATHER.

SAME CITY, NO CONTACT.
SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES.

HEY, YOU'RE PISSED AT HIM.
I GET IT.

BUT IF DAD HADN'T ASKED THEM
TO GET US IN MIAMI,

I MEAN,
HE SAVED OUR LIVES.

WE'RE HERE
BECAUSE OF HIM.

C.C., THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

WE'RE HERE, YES.

WE'RE HERE,
MY SON IS IN DANGER,

BECAUSE OF HIM.

FORGIVE ME FOR WANTING
TO FORGIVE HIM.

I MEAN,
I JUST WANNA SEE HIM.

YOUR FATHER'S
IN THE HOSPITAL.

- WHAT?
- WHY? IS HE ALL RIGHT?

DOCTORS
ARE RUNNING TESTS.

HE'S STABLE FOR NOW,
THOUGH.

ENOUGH FOR VISITORS.
- THAT'S IT?

THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF TESTS
ARE THEY RUNNING?

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TALK
TO YOUR DAD ABOUT THAT.

OKAY.

TOM?

WE SHOULD GO.
- UM, YOU GO.

WE NEED TO GET
DYLAN SETTLED AND, UM--

- TOM.
- NO.

NO, WE NEED TO GET
DYLAN SQUARED AWAY.

WHEN DAD WENT INTO WITSEC,
WE TOLD DYLAN POP-POP WENT AWAY

ON A LONG TRIP.
NOW WE'RE HERE, IT'S--

ALL RIGHT,
STAY WITH TOM, OKAY?

MARY CAN TAKE
CECILE OVER NOW.

JUST...

TELL HIM WE'RE HERE,
WE'RE SAFE.

YOU GOT IT.

I KNOW.
I KNOW, BABY.

TOO LONG.

HOW ARE
YOU FEELING, DADDY?

ARE YOU OKAY?

BETTER NOW.

IS TOMMY...

HE, UM...

HE'S HERE.

HE'S SAFE.

AND HE'LL
BE BY TO VISIT.

WHEN THEY GET
DYLAN SETTLED.

IT'S JUST--
- YEAH.

RELOCATING, YOU KNOW.

THERE'S JUST
A LOT OF STUFF TO DO.

WELL, YOU'RE ALL SAFE.

THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.

YOUR MOTHER
WOULD REST EASY.

DO THEY KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG?

UH...

YOU GET TO BE MY AGE,
YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE ABOUT

WHAT'S RIGHT THAN
WHAT'S WRONG.

DOCTORS, THEY STICK YOU HERE,
THEY STICK YOU THERE.

EVERY TEST
UNDER THE SUN, YOU KNOW?

OKAY.

YOU GONNA DO THIS
OR AM I?

MARY.

BEN, SHE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO HELP.

- MARY, PLEASE.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOUR FATHER NEEDS
A LIVER TRANSPLANT.

HE'LL DIE IF
HE DOESN'T GET IT.

DAMN IT, MARY--

YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE
HIS BEST SHOT AT A MATCH.

I TOLD YOU I DON'T
WANT THEM INVOLVED.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU
WANT US TO KNOW?

IF I'D WANTED YOU TO KNOW,
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU.

IF I WANTED YOU TESTED,
I WOULD HAVE ASKED.

YOU JUST LOST
A WITNESS.

GREAT.

YOU WANT OUT,
YOU'RE OUT.

YOUR FAMILY TOO, BY THE WAY,
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK

IT'LL TAKE SAKEN
TO FIND THEM THIS TIME?

LOOK, MANNING UP IS MORE
THAN JUST WORKING LATE

AND COMING HOME
EVERY NIGHT.

IT'S ABOUT LETTING
PEOPLE HELP YOU,

LETTING YOUR FAMILY CHOOSE
IF THEY WANT TO

SAVE YOUR LIFE OR NOT.

I TOLD YOU
I DIDN'T WANT THIS.

YOUR LEGAL CASE.

THAT'S FOR ZEITLIN
TO WORRY ABOUT.

I ONLY CARE ABOUT
PROTECTING MY WITNESS--YOU.

SO FORGIVE ME
IF I CAN'T KEEP A SECRET.

IT WAS
A STUPID SECRET.

DIDN'T DESERVE
TO BE KEPT.

GET OUT!

BOTH OF YOU!

PLEASE.

STUPID.

I WANNA GET TESTED.

WHETHER HE
LIKES IT OR NOT.

I'LL SET IT UP.

OW.

MM.

HMM.

HEY.

HEY, GOT YOUR PRESENT.

WOULD HAVE PREFERRED CASH.

THEY'RE FOR
THE VIDEO MONTAGE.

UM, I KNOW YOU'VE
BEEN BUSY LATELY,

SO I JUST
DROPPED IT OFF.

JESUS.

YOUR PERM WAS VIOLENT.

LOOK, YOU WORKED YOUR PARACHUTE
PANTS WITH YOUR JELLIES.

IT'S CLASSIC.

JUST TELL ME
WHICH ONES YOU LIKE

AND I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE REST.

OH, AND, UH, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE ONES OF DAD,

BECAUSE MOM SAID THAT SHE
WOULD LOOK FOR SOMETHING.

HMM.

HOLY...

WHO GOES AS GANDHI
FOR HALLOWEEN?

- IT WAS SINEAD O'CONNOR.
- OH.

MARY, UM, YOU'RE NEVER TEMPTED
TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK FOR HIM?

I MEAN, WITH YOUR JOB
AND EVERYTHING?

BRANDI, THE MAN'S
AN FBI FUGITIVE.

THE DAY I FIND HIM,
I'D CUFF HIM AT HELLO.

I KNOW, BUT
IT'S BEEN SO LONG.

PETER WAS SAYING SOMETHING

ABOUT A STATUTE
OF LIMITATIONS, OR...

LOOK, GUYS LIKE DAD
DON'T CHANGE, OKAY?

THE PICTURE YOU'RE GONNA FIND
IS OF A GUY WHO HELD UP BANKS,

DITCHED ME AND MOM
AND A BABY IN A CRIB,

AND THEN GOT A NEW FAMILY
AND BAILED ON THEM TOO.

JAMES WILEY SHANNON,
FATHER OF THE YEAR.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

PETER SAYS THAT IT
TAKES PEOPLE A LONG TIME

TO GROW INTO THEIR
AUTHENTIC SELVES.

OKAY, FIRST OF ALL,
DON'T SAY "AUTHENTIC SELVES."

SECOND--OW.

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED,
SO YOU'RE ALL OVERFLOWING

WITH PERSPECTIVE
AND FORGIVENESS,

BUT FORGIVENESS IS
FOR PEOPLE WHO DESERVE IT.

AND DAD IS STILL OUT THERE
DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT,

SO HE'S NOT ONE OF
THOSE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW?

HE'S JUST...

HE'S JUST THE GUY
IN THE PICTURE.

OW.

HE'S GONNA DIE?

ACTUALLY DIE, IF HE
DOESN'T GET A TRANSPLANT?

THERE'S LISTS, RIGHT?

PEOPLE GET TRANSPLANTS
ALL THE TIME.

UNFORTUNATELY, TOM,
THE UNOS LIST IS WAY TOO LONG.

AND CONSIDERING YOUR FATHER'S
CONDITION, THE WAIT WOULD BE--

I GET IT.

TOMMY, JUST FIND OUT
IF YOU'RE A MATCH. HE NEEDS YOU.

AND YOU
AND DYLAN DON'T?

IF I WERE SINGLE,
I'D DO IT.

I DON'T WANT HIM
TO DIE, BUT--

THIS SURGERY COULD--

HEY, DOC.

WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

- WHAT'S WRONG?
- WHAT'S GOING ON?

- HEY.
- HEY.

MEET ME
AT THE HOSPITAL.

BEN TRIED TO LEAVE.
HE RIPPED OUT HIS IVs.

HE'S CRASHING.
- GO, GO, GO.

- WE NEED TO GO.
- OKAY, OKAY.

HEY.

DR. WOLK, THESE ARE BEN'S
CHILDREN, TOM AND CECILE.

- VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
- HEY, THANKS.

MY FATHER, HE'S--
- HE'S STABLE.

- OH, THANK GOD.
- BUT IF WE'RE TESTING FAMILY,

WE SHOULD REALLY
START THAT SOON.

CECILE WAS TESTED
THIS MORNING.

UNFORTUNATELY,
SHE'S NOT A MATCH.

AT THIS POINT, WE NEED TO FOCUS
TESTING ON BLOOD RELATIVES.

WAIT, WHAT?
I'M HIS DAUGHTER.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.
OF COURSE SHE IS.

WHY DON'T WE
STEP OUTSIDE?

WHAT ARE YOU
EVEN SAYING?

I WAS--WHEN MY MOM BROUGHT HER
HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL,

I WAS THERE.

OUR TEST RESULTS SHOW
YOUR BLOOD TYPE IS O.

YOUR FATHER'S IS AB.

AND...

IF YOUR
BLOOD TYPE IS O,

IT'S A GENETIC IMPOSSIBILITY

THAT YOU'RE YOUR FATHER'S
BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER.

WHICH EXPLAINS WHY
HE WAS SO ADAMANT

ABOUT YOU
NOT BEING TESTED.

OH, MY GOD.

UH...

C.C.--

I JUST--UM,
CAN WE SEE HIM?

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT BLOOD TYPES.

IT JUST--
IT DOESN'T MATTER.

IT DOESN'T MEAN
HE'S NOT MY FATHER.

BUT TOM HAS TO GET TESTED,
HE JUST HAS TO.

MARY, I HAVE A CONSULT.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND?

SURE, WHAT'S UP?

I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU ALREADY HAVE AN OB,

BUT MY FRIEND
DR. REESE IS EXCELLENT.

YEAH, I'M KIND OF IN
THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING HERE.

MARY, YOU'RE OVER 35.
THIS IS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY.

YOU'RE WHAT WE CALL HIGH-RISK.
- TAKE IT EASY.

OR ADVANCED MATERNAL AGE.

OKAY, NOW YOU'RE
JUST PILING ON.

EXCUSE ME, DOCTOR,
THEY NEED YOU IN PRE-OP.

OKAY, I'LL
BE RIGHT THERE.

I'M SERIOUS.
- GOT IT.

THANKS.

ALL RIGHT,
KEEP ME POSTED.

MARY'S WITH BEN,
HE'S COMING OUT OF SEDATION.

SO LET ME
GET THIS STRAIGHT.

BEN'S WIFE GETS PREGNANT
BY ANOTHER GUY.

THAT KIND OF NEWS, MOST MEN
ARE OUT THE DOOR SO FAST,

I'M TALKING WHIPLASH.

BUT HE STICKS AROUND,
EMBRACES THE KID AS HIS OWN.

THAT'S OUR THEORY ANYWAY.

WELL, IF IT'S TRUE,
SOUNDS LIKE BEN

IS A PRETTY
STAND-UP GUY.

WHEN HE WASN'T
A FALL-DOWN DRUNK.

OKAY, OKAY, I GET IT.

WELL, COURT DENIED OUR MOTION TO
PRESENT VIDEOTAPED TESTIMONY.

SO THERE IT IS.

WE'RE SCREWED.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
SO WE'LL JUST LET SAKEN WALK.

UNLESS TOM GETS TESTED,
WE MIGHT AS WELL.

NO LIVER, NO WITNESS.

NO TRIAL.

I SWEAR TO GOD,
DADDY ISSUES--

THEY'LL KILL YOU
EVERY TIME.

YOU SHOULD
SEE MY FAMILY.

OH, I'M SEEING THEM.

MY DAD USED TO MAKE US
DO LAPS AROUND THE TRACK

EVERY DAY BEFORE
THE SUN CAME UP.

WHEN YOU WERE 13, HE'D STRAP
FIVE POUNDS TO EACH LEG.

YEARS LATER
I ASKED HIM WHY.

HE SAID--WELL,
HE'D DONE A TOUR IN KOREA,

HE SAID, UH, "IN CASE THE ENEMY
EVER COME OVER THAT HILL,

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
YOU COULD RUN."

VERY INTERESTING GUY
MY FATHER WAS.

HEY.

OKAY, I'LL MEET YOU THERE.

TWO OF US, SOME SERIOUS DAD-TALK
LATER, I'LL BRING THE BEER.

MM.

ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.

- OH-HO-HO, CLOSE ONE.
- I'LL GET IT.

ALL RIGHT,
HERE YOU GO.

GOOD KICK.

OH, YEAH, YEAH!

IF YOU'VE COME FOR MY LIVER, I
STILL HAVEN'T MADE UP MY MIND.

WE'RE NOT HERE
TO LECTURE OR CAJOLE.

YOU'RE GONNA DO
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.

COME ON, DAD!

GO GET IT, DYLAN!

YOU KNOW THEY TAKE 70%
OF YOUR LIVER WHEN YOU DONATE?

70.

LOOKED IT UP.

MOST OF WHICH
REGENERATES OVER TIME.

STILL,
IT'S A HIGH-RISK SURGERY.

IT IS,
IT'S A BIG DECISION.

BUT BEFORE YOU MAKE IT,
YOU NEED TO TALK TO A DOCTOR.

YOU NEED TO TALK
TO YOUR DAD.

YEAH, SO WE CAN
FIGHT ABOUT THIS TOO?

OH, SPRINTY LITTLE
FELLA, AREN'T YOU?

HEY, GIMME THAT.

FETCH!

UGH!

THAT'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

WHAT?

LOOK, YOUR DAD WAS A NEANDERTHAL
ABOUT THE GAY THING, OKAY.

HE WASN'T THE FIRST,
HE WON'T BE THE LAST.

SAME WITH THE DRINKING.

BUT THE ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD,
THE TV DINNERS OR WHATEVER,

EVEN AFTER
YOUR MOM DIED.

- HE WAS THERE PHYSICALLY.
- PHYSICALLY COUNTS.

MAYBE HE HASN'T CHANGED.
WHAT DO I KNOW?

BUT YOU WON'T
KNOW EVER.

UNLESS YOU
TALK TO HIM.

HE'S DYING, TOM.

YOU HAVE A CHANCE
TO KNOW YOUR DAD AGAIN.

OR SEE IF HE'S THE
SAME OLD SON-OF-A-BITCH.

GOT IT, GOT IT!

THAT'S WHAT THIS
IS ALL ABOUT.

KIDS NEED A FATHER.

THERE'S A CHANCE THIS
SURGERY COULD KILL ME.

LOOK, I'M NOT LOOKING
TO CONVINCE YOU EITHER WAY.

IT'S NOT MY JOB.

BUT IF YOUR FATHER DIES
WITHOUT YOU GETTING TESTED...

LOOK, YOU WANNA
PROTECT YOUR CHILD.

I'M NOT GONNA
ARGUE WITH THAT.

COME ON, DAD.
QUIT TALKING.

DAD, KICK IT BACK.

LET'S GO, BUDDY.

LET'S GO PLAY
SOME SOCCER.

SORRY ABOUT THAT, SIR.

OH, C.C.

SWEETHEART, YOU GOTTA KNOW.

I NEED YOU TO.

YOUR MOTHER AND I,

WE LOVED YOU AND TOMMY
JUST THE SAME.

DADDY, COME ON.

THAT YOU DIDN'T LOVE US THE SAME
WASN'T EVEN A QUESTION.

IT'S JUST--YOU
COULDN'T HAVE TOLD ME?

I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO
THINK BADLY OF YOUR MOTHER.

SHE WAS A GOOD WOMAN.

I WASN'T ALWAYS
THERE FOR HER.

I WAS HALF IN THE BOTTLE
MOST OF THE TIME.

I KNOW.

IT'S OKAY.

I KNOW.

YOU'RE GONNA GET BETTER.

AND WE'LL HAVE PLENTY
OF TIME TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

HAVE YOU HEARD
FROM TOM?

NO, NOT TODAY.

TOMMY, WHEN HE TOLD ME ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, BEING GAY...

I WAS SCARED...

FOR HIM.

WHY CHOOSE A LIFE
WHERE SO MANY PEOPLE

ARE JUST--THEY'RE
GONNA HATE YOU?

AND FOR
NO GOOD REASON.

IT'S NOT
REALLY A CHOICE.

I WANTED TO
PROTECT HIM, YOU KNOW?

SAVE HIM FROM
ALL THE--WHATEVER CAME.

SO I WAS
TOUGH ON HIM.

I NEVER TOLD HIM
HOW PROUD...

THE--THE KIND
OF MAN HE IS.

THE KIND OF FATHER.

DAD?

TOMMY.

HEY.

UH, SORRY IT
TOOK ME SO LONG TO--

YOU GOT NOTHING
TO APOLOGIZE FOR.

NOTHING.

IT'S ME
WHO SHOULD BE SORRY.

YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT
'CAUSE YOU WANT MY LIVER.

AW, OKAY.

I DESERVED THAT.

YOU REALLY DO, YOU KNOW.

TOMMY, I JUST
WANTED YOU HAPPY.

THAT'S ALL.

YOU WERE A LOUSY FATHER.

YEAH.

WHETHER YOU MAKE
A LOUSY GRANDFATHER,

I GUESS I WOULDN'T MIND
FINDING OUT.

SO YOU'LL GET TESTED?

ALREADY DID.

DADDY!

HEY!

AHH, YEAH.

HOW YOU DOING, BUDDY?

LOOK WHO'S HERE, HUH?

ARE YOU BACK FROM
YOUR TRIP, POP-POP?

YEAH, PICKLE,
POP-POP'S BACK.

PROCREATION IS REMARKABLE
IN ITS COMPLEXITY.

- HERE WE GO.
- AND ITS RELATIVE SIMPLICITY.

- KILL ME NOW.
- BUT WHAT COMES AFTER.

THE FAMILY DYNAMICS,
THE HOPES AND DREAMS,

THE TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES.

SWEET JESUS,
SHUT YOUR HOLE.

THAT'S THE TRICKY STUFF.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'M PREGNANT.

NO, YOU CAN'T
AND YES, YOU ARE.

I'M NOT SURE
I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.

JUST LIKE YOU SAID,
TREAT IT LIKE A WITNESS.

PROTECT, RELOCATE.

YEAH.

WE'LL MAKE A LIST.

YOU LIKE LISTS.
- I DO LIKE LISTS.

I'LL DRAW UP
A TEMPLATE TOMORROW

WITH "LOCATE NEAREST RESTROOM"
ON EVERY OTHER LINE.

CAN I WALK YOU OUT?

I'LL LET YOU
GET THE DOOR.

NO, I'VE GOT
SOME STUFF TO FINISH UP.

OKAY.

WE'LL TALK MORE TOMORROW.

DON'T THREATEN ME.

GROWING UP SUCKS.

THE DAYS OF COOKIES,
DREAMS, AND THE ICE CREAM MAN

DO THEIR FLICKERING
FADE TO BLACK,

LIKE SOME WOUNDED FIREFLY,

OR A NIGHTLIGHT
ON THE FRITZ.

CHILDREN BECOME PARENTS,
PARENTS BECOME HELPLESS,

AND DREAMS YOU THOUGHT
YOU'D ALWAYS DREAM

SLIP SILENT
OUT THE DOOR.

BUT ULTIMATELY,
IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH,

FOR BETTER
OR FOR WORSE,

WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR LIFE
WITH A HARD, UNFLINCHING EYE,

THERE'S ONLY

THAT GROWING
NEVER STOPS.

THAT AND
THE "DEATH AND TAXES" THING.
