1
00:00:00,008 --> 00:00:01,695
Previously on This Is Us...

2
00:00:01,703 --> 00:00:03,684
You've always said that
you wanted to finish school.

3
00:00:03,708 --> 00:00:05,523
I think the time is now.

4
00:00:06,765 --> 00:00:08,768
Oh, my God, it's a boy.

5
00:00:09,477 --> 00:00:11,414
I went to a database
for the war memorial.

6
00:00:11,528 --> 00:00:12,687
Nicholas Pearson.

7
00:00:12,712 --> 00:00:15,039
He might be dead, but he didn't
die here in Vietnam.

8
00:00:15,064 --> 00:00:17,085
She will break you, Kevin.

9
00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:19,398
Her background is complicated.

10
00:00:19,423 --> 00:00:20,626
You're not gonna win this one, Randall.

11
00:00:20,650 --> 00:00:21,734
The numbers aren't there.

12
00:00:21,759 --> 00:00:23,142
You told me that

13
00:00:23,167 --> 00:00:25,242
if at any point, I wasn't on board

14
00:00:25,267 --> 00:00:26,773
with you running, you would stop.

15
00:00:26,798 --> 00:00:29,179
I am no longer on board
with you running.

16
00:00:34,381 --> 00:00:36,633
We have an update in
perhaps the most surprising race

17
00:00:36,657 --> 00:00:39,085
in the local Philadelphia
elections tonight.

18
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:42,484
District 12 remains too close
to call with long-time incumbent

19
00:00:42,509 --> 00:00:45,250
Solomon Brown ahead
only four percentage points

20
00:00:45,275 --> 00:00:48,179
- of challenger Randall Pearson.
- How you doing, cuz?

21
00:00:48,706 --> 00:00:50,789
"Keep the Chardonnay coming"
is how I'm doing.

22
00:00:50,814 --> 00:00:52,731
Councilman Brown is leading 52%...

23
00:00:52,756 --> 00:00:55,617
Well, one way or another,
it'll all be over soon.

24
00:00:56,875 --> 00:00:59,523
Yeah, it'll all be over soon.

25
00:01:00,057 --> 00:01:02,172
Councilman Solomon
Brown, a 14-year incumbent,

26
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:03,492
- first made a name for himself...
- Here you go.

27
00:01:03,516 --> 00:01:05,800
Oh, I was not built for politics.

28
00:01:05,802 --> 00:01:07,552
This is way too tense for me.

29
00:01:07,554 --> 00:01:10,107
- Yeah, my undershirt is fully soaked.
- Stop.

30
00:01:10,132 --> 00:01:12,326
Brown voted yes to Proposition 27...

31
00:01:12,351 --> 00:01:14,308
...which brought better housing
programs to his district.

32
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:16,132
Big life moment for you, little brother.

33
00:01:16,671 --> 00:01:17,911
What's going through your mind?

34
00:01:18,703 --> 00:01:20,023
- Honestly?
- Yeah.

35
00:01:20,976 --> 00:01:23,835
You remember when Dad and I went
to D.C. to visit Howard?

36
00:01:23,914 --> 00:01:26,537
- Of course.
- Been thinking about that a lot.

37
00:01:27,131 --> 00:01:29,248
You? What's on your mind?

38
00:01:29,273 --> 00:01:33,218
What's on my mind? Uh, John
Stamos, mostly. Ex-excuse me.

39
00:01:33,601 --> 00:01:34,914
John Stamos.

40
00:01:38,437 --> 00:01:39,443
Hi.

41
00:01:40,039 --> 00:01:43,337
Hi. Oh, uh...

42
00:01:46,226 --> 00:01:47,694
'Cause I'm not,
I'm not sure if I'm supposed

43
00:01:47,718 --> 00:01:48,843
to be talking to you,
or giving you space,

44
00:01:48,845 --> 00:01:51,719
so I'm just gonna talk to you
from multiple feet away

45
00:01:51,744 --> 00:01:53,757
and sort of split the difference.

46
00:01:59,703 --> 00:02:01,882
- Zoe, I'm sorry if I pushed you...
- Kevin...

47
00:02:03,336 --> 00:02:04,726
...I can't do this.

48
00:02:18,203 --> 00:02:19,340
Tobe, hey, what's up?

49
00:02:19,342 --> 00:02:21,271
Hey. Look, uh, Kate has been crying

50
00:02:21,296 --> 00:02:22,543
for, like, five minutes straight.

51
00:02:22,545 --> 00:02:24,323
Is there, like, a twin cure
for something like this?

52
00:02:24,347 --> 00:02:26,664
Um, is it-is it good crying
or bad crying?

53
00:02:27,726 --> 00:02:29,028
Unclear.

54
00:02:29,054 --> 00:02:31,210
- How's it going over there?
- Unclear.

55
00:02:31,734 --> 00:02:34,639
Hey, look, Toby, I got to go.
I'll call you back.

56
00:02:36,085 --> 00:02:37,906
- How are we looking?
- Well, we're behind,

57
00:02:37,931 --> 00:02:40,562
but, uh, whatever happens, dude,

58
00:02:41,015 --> 00:02:44,531
what you did in these last
seven weeks, it's unheard of.

59
00:02:46,859 --> 00:02:47,992
Yeah.

60
00:02:49,062 --> 00:02:50,955
It's been the longest
seven weeks of my life.

62
00:03:03,914 --> 00:03:06,587
- Hey, Randall. Randall.
- Yeah.

63
00:03:06,589 --> 00:03:09,590
Get up, come on. Annie's up.

64
00:03:09,889 --> 00:03:12,031
She doesn't need to see you
sleeping on the couch.

65
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:19,817
Ah, crap. I wanted to be back
in Philly by 9:00.

66
00:03:20,421 --> 00:03:21,902
You're still running?

67
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:24,107
After last night?

68
00:03:24,132 --> 00:03:26,406
After-after Jae-won said
you couldn't win?

69
00:03:26,431 --> 00:03:28,911
He didn't say I couldn't win. He
said the numbers aren't there.

70
00:03:29,328 --> 00:03:30,828
Well, they're somewhere, Beth.

71
00:03:30,853 --> 00:03:33,614
I can't just give up on
my district, not after all this.

72
00:03:33,616 --> 00:03:36,443
Oh, your district.
What about your family?

73
00:03:36,468 --> 00:03:38,619
Will always be my priority, okay?

74
00:03:39,078 --> 00:03:41,172
Look, I even thought
about Tess last night.

75
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:43,601
I, uh, I ordered Love, Ellen.

76
00:03:43,992 --> 00:03:45,896
It's the book
Ellen DeGeneres's mom Betty

77
00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:47,170
wrote about Ellen coming out.

78
00:03:47,195 --> 00:03:48,796
I'm gonna listen to it
on my way to Philly.

79
00:03:48,798 --> 00:03:52,062
You cannot audiobook your way
through our daughter's life.

80
00:03:52,445 --> 00:03:54,969
Look, the next seven
weeks are gonna be tough.

81
00:03:55,625 --> 00:03:56,687
I know.

82
00:03:57,179 --> 00:03:58,522
But the people we've met
in that district

83
00:03:58,524 --> 00:04:01,046
over the past few months,
they deserve my best...

84
00:04:01,071 --> 00:04:04,367
There is no "we" in this
anymore, Randall.

85
00:04:04,593 --> 00:04:08,171
I will stay out of your way,
but you're on your own, babe.

86
00:04:24,882 --> 00:04:27,521
You know, I'll bet Abraham
Lincoln woke up every morning,

87
00:04:27,546 --> 00:04:29,670
stood on the steps of the
White House, and he took in

88
00:04:29,672 --> 00:04:33,174
the same 555 feet that
we're looking at right now.

89
00:04:33,609 --> 00:04:36,143
Hmm, they finished it
20 years after he died, so...

90
00:04:38,322 --> 00:04:39,960
You're ruining the romance, kid.

91
00:04:40,515 --> 00:04:41,849
Facts are facts, Dad.

92
00:04:41,851 --> 00:04:43,017
Hmm.

93
00:04:46,164 --> 00:04:48,445
I'm thinking about majoring
in political science.

94
00:04:48,858 --> 00:04:50,054
No kidding.

95
00:04:50,593 --> 00:04:51,734
Look at you.

96
00:04:53,138 --> 00:04:54,953
What a great life you're gonna have.

97
00:04:57,101 --> 00:04:58,783
What a great man you're gonna be.

98
00:04:59,038 --> 00:05:00,203
Hmm.

99
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:28,325
- Hey, Tobe?
- Did somebody call

100
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:30,757
a future Dad Bod award winner? Huh?

101
00:05:31,406 --> 00:05:34,034
So, I was thinking,
we're just using this room

102
00:05:34,036 --> 00:05:36,100
- to store all of our junk, you know?
- Um, junk...

103
00:05:36,125 --> 00:05:40,374
I think it's time that we turn
this room into a nursery.

104
00:05:42,148 --> 00:05:44,044
I am so on board.

105
00:05:44,046 --> 00:05:45,246
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, I was just waiting

106
00:05:45,248 --> 00:05:46,482
'cause you were hesitant.

107
00:05:46,507 --> 00:05:49,059
Yeah. So, you need to sell
all your toys.

108
00:05:49,937 --> 00:05:51,078
Ugh...

109
00:05:54,028 --> 00:05:55,528
Longest travel day of my life.

110
00:05:55,553 --> 00:05:57,489
Ah. Well, we took off
Wednesday afternoon,

111
00:05:57,514 --> 00:05:59,925
landed Wednesday morning,
so technically,

112
00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:01,199
it's the shortest travel day
of your life.

113
00:06:01,223 --> 00:06:03,886
Yeah, time zones are crazy, huh?
You know what else is crazy?

114
00:06:03,911 --> 00:06:06,378
That your uncle didn't die in Vietnam?

115
00:06:06,403 --> 00:06:08,319
That my uncle didn't die in
Vietnam. That's exactly right.

116
00:06:08,321 --> 00:06:10,271
And now I have a million more
questions about it, you know?

117
00:06:10,273 --> 00:06:12,721
Like, uh, I don't know,
did he come back to the States?

118
00:06:12,746 --> 00:06:14,823
All right, did my dad know
that he was alive?

119
00:06:14,848 --> 00:06:17,661
Uh, or-or maybe
it's like Mad Men, right?

120
00:06:17,663 --> 00:06:19,663
Where he died,
but somebody took his dog tags.

121
00:06:19,665 --> 00:06:23,117
Hey, slow your roll, Pearson.
We'll contact Veterans Affairs,

122
00:06:23,119 --> 00:06:24,952
find out what happened
and go from there.

123
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:26,801
What are you gonna tell your family?

124
00:06:26,825 --> 00:06:28,864
Are you... I'm not gonna tell
my family a thing.

125
00:06:29,137 --> 00:06:31,008
I mean, the-the text chain was ungodly

126
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:32,676
when Kate debated going blonde.

127
00:06:32,678 --> 00:06:34,438
I can't even imagine
what this would be like.

128
00:06:34,465 --> 00:06:36,098
- Good point.
- You know?

129
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:39,683
It feels so good to be home.

130
00:06:42,616 --> 00:06:43,762
Hmm.

131
00:06:45,707 --> 00:06:46,807
What?

132
00:06:47,661 --> 00:06:49,371
Oh, you calling my place "home."

133
00:06:50,489 --> 00:06:52,780
No, I didn't. I called America home,

134
00:06:52,782 --> 00:06:54,815
- not your loft.
- Well, it could be.

135
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:58,442
My loft. Your home.

136
00:07:13,036 --> 00:07:14,134
Is that...

137
00:07:14,136 --> 00:07:15,645
It's John Stamos, yeah.

138
00:07:15,838 --> 00:07:18,055
Tess and Annie got it for me.
There was a whole phase

139
00:07:18,057 --> 00:07:19,770
they were calling me Uncle Jesse.

140
00:07:25,067 --> 00:07:26,207
What do you say?

141
00:07:30,106 --> 00:07:32,186
Ah, you took the Stamos.

142
00:07:32,188 --> 00:07:34,104
I got a roommate!
This is gonna be great.

143
00:07:34,106 --> 00:07:36,941
- Oh, my God. Let's go straight to bed.
- Oh, my God.

144
00:07:39,630 --> 00:07:40,830
Randall Pearson...

145
00:07:41,302 --> 00:07:43,770
Randall Pearson
will turn the lights back on.

146
00:07:43,795 --> 00:07:45,849
All right, J-dog. Hit
me with them new stats, man.

147
00:07:45,873 --> 00:07:49,108
- I know we picked up some real heat.
- Eh, more like lukewarm heat.

148
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,746
You're still ten points behind.

149
00:07:51,228 --> 00:07:54,909
How? Dude, we've done
so much walking door-to-door,

150
00:07:54,934 --> 00:07:56,198
I had to Google what corns are

151
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,151
to see if that's what I got
growing on my feet. It is.

152
00:07:59,153 --> 00:08:01,153
- What else can we do?
- Get some more comfortable shoes.

153
00:08:01,155 --> 00:08:03,038
We've got a full day of pounding
the pavement ahead of us.

154
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,797
- Mm.
- Oh, uh, also, don't forget

155
00:08:04,822 --> 00:08:07,012
that we've got the Business
Association breakfast

156
00:08:07,037 --> 00:08:08,832
- at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
- Right.

157
00:08:09,442 --> 00:08:11,371
Guess I'll be staying here again.

158
00:08:12,465 --> 00:08:13,943
You want to call Beth
and tell her for me?

159
00:08:13,967 --> 00:08:16,418
I'm sorry, dude. I warned you
this would be rough.

160
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:17,481
Yeah.

161
00:08:29,645 --> 00:08:30,849
It scares me.

162
00:08:31,293 --> 00:08:32,911
The idea of, you know...

163
00:08:33,521 --> 00:08:35,145
doing something big with my life.

164
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:39,184
You know what I get like
when I get focused.

165
00:08:39,996 --> 00:08:41,317
Oh, it's like...

166
00:08:42,887 --> 00:08:44,840
it's like I can't see anything else.

167
00:08:47,668 --> 00:08:50,348
And I look at you and Mom
and, you know, and our family.

168
00:08:52,241 --> 00:08:53,895
And I-I want that, too.

169
00:08:55,778 --> 00:08:57,209
You know, Randall, you...

170
00:08:57,211 --> 00:09:00,012
you might be the only
17-year-old on the planet

171
00:09:00,014 --> 00:09:02,881
who's actually worrying

172
00:09:02,883 --> 00:09:04,883
about balancing their future career

173
00:09:05,364 --> 00:09:07,186
with their future wife and kids.

174
00:09:08,487 --> 00:09:10,121
I-I like to plan ahead.

175
00:09:19,043 --> 00:09:21,426
- Well, are we rich?
- These kids

176
00:09:21,451 --> 00:09:23,417
at my college,
they went crazy for our stuff.

177
00:09:23,442 --> 00:09:24,809
Yeah, well, we're so old to them,

178
00:09:24,834 --> 00:09:26,801
our stuff is considered vintage.

179
00:09:26,978 --> 00:09:28,911
Uh, uh...

180
00:09:29,076 --> 00:09:31,293
Uh, where, uh, where's the, uh...

181
00:09:31,295 --> 00:09:33,278
where's the box
that I tucked under the counter?

182
00:09:33,303 --> 00:09:34,680
I-I don't know. I think I sold it.

183
00:09:34,826 --> 00:09:38,903
No. No, it was marked, uh...
it was marked "DNS."

184
00:09:39,003 --> 00:09:41,220
Yeah, it was donations.
Yeah, I-I sold it.

185
00:09:41,222 --> 00:09:42,770
One less trip to the Goodwill.

186
00:09:44,012 --> 00:09:45,140
No, the...

187
00:09:45,142 --> 00:09:47,092
"DNS" does not stand for "donations."

188
00:09:47,094 --> 00:09:48,477
It stands for "do not sell."

189
00:09:48,996 --> 00:09:51,430
That box was home
to my original complete set

190
00:09:51,432 --> 00:09:54,161
of 1977 Star Wars action figures.

191
00:09:54,942 --> 00:09:56,215
I'm sorry.

192
00:09:56,676 --> 00:09:58,437
- It was an accident, babe.
- You should've asked.

193
00:09:58,439 --> 00:10:00,973
- You should've asked.
- Wait, but, babe,

194
00:10:01,201 --> 00:10:03,957
- come on, they're just toys.
- Whoa.

195
00:10:04,004 --> 00:10:06,328
Whoa. They are not just toys.

196
00:10:06,330 --> 00:10:09,081
They are action figures, first of all.

197
00:10:09,083 --> 00:10:11,004
Action figures
that have traveled with me

198
00:10:11,029 --> 00:10:13,075
from house to house
after my parents got divorced,

199
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:15,887
into my college dorm room,
through six L.A. apartments

200
00:10:15,912 --> 00:10:19,091
so that someday I could
hand them down to my kid.

201
00:10:19,093 --> 00:10:20,371
But now...

202
00:10:20,557 --> 00:10:22,590
- Don't.
- Aah!

203
00:10:25,992 --> 00:10:27,659
I'm sorry that we were late.

204
00:10:27,684 --> 00:10:28,950
Ah, man. It's my fault.

205
00:10:28,975 --> 00:10:31,015
I was slow getting out
of my apartment this morning.

206
00:10:31,291 --> 00:10:32,809
Well, actually, it's our apartment.

207
00:10:33,465 --> 00:10:35,637
We, uh... we're living together in sin.

208
00:10:36,526 --> 00:10:37,606
Yeah.

209
00:10:38,356 --> 00:10:40,646
I do show a record
for a Nicholas Pearson.

210
00:10:40,648 --> 00:10:41,692
That's great.

211
00:10:41,717 --> 00:10:43,942
But before
I can give you any information,

212
00:10:43,967 --> 00:10:46,254
I need proof
that you're his next of kin.

213
00:10:46,387 --> 00:10:49,286
How about nephew?
Nephew's a big deal now, right?

214
00:10:49,311 --> 00:10:50,811
Think of Game of Thrones.

215
00:10:51,012 --> 00:10:52,658
Right, Joffrey was next of kin

216
00:10:52,660 --> 00:10:55,575
to the super-handsome, fit,
blonde, uncle guy.

217
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,234
Jamie was never in line for the throne.

218
00:10:58,543 --> 00:10:59,715
Joffrey ascended

219
00:10:59,717 --> 00:11:02,707
after his adoptive father
Robert Baratheon died.

220
00:11:05,012 --> 00:11:06,672
Without documentation,

221
00:11:06,674 --> 00:11:09,067
you're gonna need someone
official to write a letter,

222
00:11:09,092 --> 00:11:11,012
authorizing release of the records.

223
00:11:11,184 --> 00:11:13,312
Could be military personnel,

224
00:11:13,314 --> 00:11:15,230
a historian, a member of Congress.

225
00:11:15,232 --> 00:11:18,496
How about a celebrity that was once
dunk-tanked on The Today Show?

226
00:11:21,106 --> 00:11:22,106
No. Okay.

227
00:11:22,131 --> 00:11:24,668
I might be able to get a letter
from a congressman.

228
00:11:24,786 --> 00:11:25,864
You might?

229
00:11:26,465 --> 00:11:28,575
Yeah, I might have
dated one for a while.

230
00:11:28,810 --> 00:11:29,895
You might have?

231
00:11:30,772 --> 00:11:31,996
Wow.

232
00:11:38,263 --> 00:11:40,381
And we're back
with Councilman Sol Brown.

233
00:11:40,383 --> 00:11:41,833
Now I've been seeing
some Randall Pearson signs

234
00:11:41,835 --> 00:11:43,167
all around the neighborhood.

235
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:44,176
Hell, yeah, you have.

236
00:11:44,201 --> 00:11:45,887
I can't say I've noticed that.

237
00:11:45,912 --> 00:11:48,026
I'm just saying,
I haven't seen his family

238
00:11:48,051 --> 00:11:49,824
in church with him
at Reverend Hawley's services.

239
00:11:49,848 --> 00:11:52,510
I'm so lucky to have
my supportive wife Nancy

240
00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:55,062
at my side, helping me stay focused.

241
00:11:55,064 --> 00:11:57,121
Not sure my opponent is as lucky.

242
00:12:05,575 --> 00:12:08,223
- Hey.
- Hey.

243
00:12:11,332 --> 00:12:12,676
Look, I know this is the last thing

244
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,253
you want to hear right now,
but maybe it's time

245
00:12:15,278 --> 00:12:17,535
you and the girls start
showing up to events again.

246
00:12:19,051 --> 00:12:20,057
Really?

247
00:12:20,082 --> 00:12:23,184
Just saying, I'm coming off as
a family man without a family.

248
00:12:24,067 --> 00:12:26,677
Do you know what the girls got
for Christmas, Family Man?

249
00:12:26,825 --> 00:12:28,511
I do, 'cause I went out

250
00:12:28,536 --> 00:12:31,432
and bought all their presents
without you.

251
00:12:31,871 --> 00:12:34,268
- I'm really sorry. I...
- And Tess is moody all the time,

252
00:12:34,270 --> 00:12:36,029
I don't even know why.
I don't know if it's 'cause

253
00:12:36,053 --> 00:12:37,529
she's trying
to figure out her sexuality,

254
00:12:37,553 --> 00:12:40,018
or-or because she just
discovered Nirvana on Spotify.

255
00:12:40,043 --> 00:12:42,846
Either way, I'd love
to discuss it with my husband,

256
00:12:42,871 --> 00:12:45,396
but he's off in Philly, glad-handing

257
00:12:45,398 --> 00:12:47,950
for no good reason,
because last I checked,

258
00:12:48,793 --> 00:12:51,819
the polls said you weren't even
close to winning.

259
00:12:52,465 --> 00:12:54,205
Now, are you really mad at me, Beth?

260
00:12:55,121 --> 00:12:56,290
Or are you mad that I got something

261
00:12:56,292 --> 00:12:58,292
that I care about right now
and you don't?

262
00:12:58,684 --> 00:12:59,809
'Cause if memory serves,

263
00:12:59,834 --> 00:13:01,913
I played Stay-At-Home Superdad
all last year,

264
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:03,848
and you did not hear me complaining.

265
00:13:06,325 --> 00:13:07,965
You know what?
I'm gonna walk out of this room

266
00:13:07,989 --> 00:13:09,466
before you say something else
you're gonna regret.

267
00:13:09,490 --> 00:13:11,067
You do what you got to do.

268
00:13:17,317 --> 00:13:19,598
Congressman, thank you
so much for meeting with us.

269
00:13:19,623 --> 00:13:20,905
I appreciate it. You know, my brother,

270
00:13:20,907 --> 00:13:22,637
uh, currently running for city council.

271
00:13:22,662 --> 00:13:24,709
He's going absolutely insane
with the schedule. I can only

272
00:13:24,711 --> 00:13:26,928
- imagine what yours is like.
- Yes, thank you so much

273
00:13:26,930 --> 00:13:28,184
for coming, Andy.

274
00:13:28,676 --> 00:13:30,645
I didn't know
you were living in New York now.

275
00:13:30,884 --> 00:13:32,717
Well, it's... it's, uh,
pretty recent, really.

276
00:13:32,719 --> 00:13:34,269
Yeah, pretty recent. Your Bo...
Her boxes just came in

277
00:13:34,271 --> 00:13:36,137
- from Chicago, like, last week.
- Yeah.

278
00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:38,918
So, haven't really had a chance
to even unpack them yet.

279
00:13:41,043 --> 00:13:42,200
Well, that's great.

280
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:46,090
So, you said you needed help
with getting some military

281
00:13:46,115 --> 00:13:47,489
- records or something?
- Yes.

282
00:13:47,614 --> 00:13:49,262
Well, we've been on this journey,

283
00:13:49,287 --> 00:13:52,088
literally to Vietnam and back,
looking for Kevin's uncle.

284
00:13:52,622 --> 00:13:55,290
And we heard that with a little push

285
00:13:55,292 --> 00:13:57,832
from a member of Congress, we, um...

286
00:14:00,423 --> 00:14:01,723
Oh.

287
00:14:02,606 --> 00:14:04,666
I thought when you said
you desperately needed help,

288
00:14:04,668 --> 00:14:06,512
it was something a little more serious.

289
00:14:07,418 --> 00:14:08,970
- Oh.
- Oh.

290
00:14:08,972 --> 00:14:10,310
Oh, I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to...

291
00:14:10,334 --> 00:14:13,715
No. Sorry. It's fine. I can try
to get the records from the VA.

292
00:14:15,168 --> 00:14:16,957
Maybe I'll just shoot them
a quick e-mail.

293
00:14:16,982 --> 00:14:18,411
That should do the trick, right?

294
00:14:26,512 --> 00:14:27,793
Sorry. I...

295
00:14:28,276 --> 00:14:29,976
I really thought enough time had passed.

296
00:14:31,489 --> 00:14:32,793
Andy...

297
00:14:33,903 --> 00:14:36,781
My office will formulate a
formal request for the records.

298
00:14:36,989 --> 00:14:39,020
Thank you. Appreciate that.

299
00:14:40,016 --> 00:14:41,528
Thank you for your time.

300
00:14:47,302 --> 00:14:49,636
- Well, that worked.
- Yeah. Look...

301
00:14:50,715 --> 00:14:52,847
That guy's carrying around
some serious baggage,

302
00:14:53,168 --> 00:14:55,633
Zoe, what...
what's the story with you two?

303
00:14:55,635 --> 00:14:57,135
Were you two serious?

304
00:14:57,496 --> 00:14:58,911
I mean, we were.

305
00:14:59,105 --> 00:15:02,129
Uh, we dated for a couple of years.

306
00:15:03,075 --> 00:15:05,137
Uh, we talked about moving to New York.

307
00:15:09,733 --> 00:15:12,254
I... I'm on the edge
of my seat here, Zoe.

308
00:15:13,442 --> 00:15:15,787
Well, he kept on sending
apartment listings,

309
00:15:15,789 --> 00:15:17,629
and, well, none of them felt right.

310
00:15:17,654 --> 00:15:19,059
- Hmm.
- And, uh,

311
00:15:19,462 --> 00:15:21,829
well, I realized the apartments
weren't the problem,

312
00:15:22,379 --> 00:15:23,762
so I e-mailed him saying

313
00:15:23,787 --> 00:15:25,587
I thought the relationship
had run its course.

314
00:15:27,215 --> 00:15:28,621
You dated a guy for two years,

315
00:15:28,646 --> 00:15:31,332
and you broke up with him...
with an e-mail?

316
00:15:31,357 --> 00:15:33,607
I mean, I didn't deal with it perfectly.

317
00:15:34,093 --> 00:15:35,668
It was a long time ago.

318
00:15:36,903 --> 00:15:37,976
I got to run.

319
00:15:38,293 --> 00:15:40,839
If I'm late for meeting Beth
for cookie baking...

320
00:15:40,864 --> 00:15:41,896
- Going now?
- ...she'll flip.

321
00:15:41,898 --> 00:15:43,431
Apparently, your brother's been AWOL.

322
00:15:43,754 --> 00:15:45,810
I don't want to be on
the receiving end of that mood.

323
00:15:45,834 --> 00:15:47,442
Yeah. All right.

324
00:15:49,681 --> 00:15:50,903
Bye.

325
00:16:06,130 --> 00:16:07,777
Hey, uh, before you leave...

326
00:16:07,802 --> 00:16:09,702
Mm-mmm. Nope, not tonight.

327
00:16:09,704 --> 00:16:12,346
It is New Year's Eve, my friend,
and I'm on my way

328
00:16:12,371 --> 00:16:14,354
to get a boo-berry pie
to eat with my girls

329
00:16:14,379 --> 00:16:16,636
- when the clock strikes 12:00.
- Boo-berry pie?

330
00:16:16,661 --> 00:16:18,477
It's technically blueberry,
but when Beth was three,

331
00:16:18,479 --> 00:16:20,723
- she called it "boo-berry."
- Huh.

332
00:16:21,067 --> 00:16:22,842
Come on, man. Nothing for "boo-berry"?

333
00:16:23,294 --> 00:16:25,394
Anyway, Beth's family used
to have one every New Year's.

334
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:26,519
She said the new year don't start

335
00:16:26,521 --> 00:16:28,786
- till she get her boo-berry on.
- I found it.

336
00:16:29,465 --> 00:16:30,745
What we've been looking for.

337
00:16:31,043 --> 00:16:33,581
Six years ago, Sol Brown was
arrested for drunk driving,

338
00:16:33,606 --> 00:16:35,461
but he was never charged.

339
00:16:36,114 --> 00:16:38,410
Randall, he paid off the police
to have the charges dropped.

340
00:16:38,434 --> 00:16:40,528
And then he paid the paper
to have the story buried.

341
00:16:41,933 --> 00:16:43,106
That's major.

342
00:16:43,903 --> 00:16:45,863
We should release this
first thing in the morning.

343
00:16:46,126 --> 00:16:48,614
How do you like them boo-berries?

344
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:59,776
Hello. Uh, one blueberry pie, please.

345
00:16:59,801 --> 00:17:01,487
Ooh, I'm sorry.

346
00:17:01,512 --> 00:17:03,192
We just sold the last one.

347
00:17:04,762 --> 00:17:05,911
Okay, then.

348
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,971
Um... could you make me one?

349
00:17:09,293 --> 00:17:11,120
My wife requires one
every New Year's Eve.

350
00:17:11,145 --> 00:17:12,496
I'll wait, however long it takes.

351
00:17:12,521 --> 00:17:15,224
I wish I could, sir, but we bake
everything in the morning.

352
00:17:15,249 --> 00:17:17,667
- Next in line.
- It's just, just one blueberry.

353
00:17:17,692 --> 00:17:18,958
- I can't. I'm sorry.
- It's for my wife..

354
00:17:18,982 --> 00:17:21,200
I wish I could help you, sweetie.
I can't.

355
00:17:23,848 --> 00:17:25,540
Everything okay, Mr. Pearson?

356
00:17:25,823 --> 00:17:27,200
Reverend Hawley.

357
00:17:29,097 --> 00:17:30,340
Hi.

358
00:17:31,903 --> 00:17:34,442
Um, no, I'm fine. I just, uh...

359
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:38,512
standing here in the middle of a diner

360
00:17:38,539 --> 00:17:41,273
at 7:00 on New Year's Eve,

361
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:44,643
wondering if I'm gonna go down
in history

362
00:17:44,668 --> 00:17:47,378
as the worst husband and father
of all time,

363
00:17:47,403 --> 00:17:50,496
who also lost an election
by a landslide.

364
00:17:51,387 --> 00:17:53,001
Well, you could drop out.

365
00:17:53,575 --> 00:17:56,411
I'm sure my good friend Sol
would, uh, throw you a party.

366
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,036
I asked Sol to fix the lights
at the rec center,

367
00:18:02,129 --> 00:18:03,434
and he didn't do it.

368
00:18:04,817 --> 00:18:07,766
Then a little girl who reminds
me of my little girls got hurt.

369
00:18:10,575 --> 00:18:12,921
I just wanted to give the people
something better.

370
00:18:13,235 --> 00:18:14,809
I thought they deserved that.

371
00:18:17,192 --> 00:18:20,262
You know, my father once told me
that I was gonna be a great man.

372
00:18:22,043 --> 00:18:24,223
And my whole life,
in the back of my mind,

373
00:18:25,551 --> 00:18:27,352
I always wanted to be one.

374
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,892
I'm starting to think it might be harder

375
00:18:32,917 --> 00:18:35,036
to be a good man than a great one.

376
00:18:40,332 --> 00:18:41,366
I'm sitting on something

377
00:18:41,391 --> 00:18:43,700
that could change the whole game, and...

378
00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:49,332
It's just not the way
I want to do it, man.

379
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:57,981
I'm sorry, man.

380
00:18:58,006 --> 00:19:00,270
You just wanted to say "hi"
on New Year's Eve.

381
00:19:00,295 --> 00:19:01,701
I didn't mean to take all your time.

382
00:19:01,725 --> 00:19:05,426
Hey, you know, I give a...
a lot of death-bed advice.

383
00:19:06,124 --> 00:19:07,855
Comes with the job, I guess.

384
00:19:09,425 --> 00:19:10,895
Death-bed advice.

385
00:19:12,137 --> 00:19:13,317
That's the gig.

386
00:19:15,012 --> 00:19:17,989
Act in a way that'll make you
smile when you're old and gray

387
00:19:18,014 --> 00:19:20,559
and lying under a pale pink
nursing-home blanket,

388
00:19:21,311 --> 00:19:23,614
thinking about... the life you lived.

389
00:19:25,668 --> 00:19:26,871
You do that,

390
00:19:28,509 --> 00:19:30,512
you'll be the man your father wanted.

391
00:19:38,995 --> 00:19:40,489
And give this to your wife.

392
00:19:41,532 --> 00:19:43,559
I got the last blueberry pie.

393
00:19:46,775 --> 00:19:48,434
Happy New Year, Mr. Pearson.

394
00:19:52,331 --> 00:19:54,223
Happy New Year's to you,
Reverend Hawley.

395
00:19:57,499 --> 00:19:59,067
God bless you, sir.

396
00:20:14,934 --> 00:20:16,814
I know he's like fifty but...

397
00:20:17,434 --> 00:20:19,387
Anderson Cooper is so fine.

398
00:20:20,114 --> 00:20:23,278
Really? That's your type, Dej?

399
00:20:23,379 --> 00:20:24,661
Okay.

400
00:20:26,895 --> 00:20:28,626
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.

401
00:20:29,231 --> 00:20:31,231
- How did everything go there?
- It's late.

402
00:20:32,489 --> 00:20:33,621
I'm sorry.

403
00:20:35,286 --> 00:20:37,686
Guess I should just be glad
you made it before the ball-drop.

404
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:39,537
No, I'm sorry about everything.

405
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:44,661
I, um...

406
00:20:45,278 --> 00:20:47,051
Hey, can we just, uh...

407
00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:52,200
I owe all four of you an apology

408
00:20:52,403 --> 00:20:53,779
for everything that I've been missing

409
00:20:53,803 --> 00:20:55,402
over the past couple of months.

410
00:20:55,739 --> 00:20:59,551
For the way in which I let this
campaign take over my entire life.

411
00:21:03,856 --> 00:21:05,918
You know, one day
I'm gonna be an old man...

412
00:21:07,223 --> 00:21:11,554
laying in bed, all pale, with
a pink blanket pulled over me.

413
00:21:12,465 --> 00:21:13,986
Or maybe the pink blanket's pale.

414
00:21:14,011 --> 00:21:15,332
I can't remember.

415
00:21:16,879 --> 00:21:18,294
Anyway...

416
00:21:18,551 --> 00:21:21,067
do you know what
I'm gonna be thinking about?

417
00:21:23,114 --> 00:21:24,661
It's not about this election.

418
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:29,305
I'm gonna be thinking
about blueberry pie.

419
00:21:29,950 --> 00:21:32,008
I'm gonna be thinking about, uh,

420
00:21:32,010 --> 00:21:35,244
making gingerbread trains
with my favorite four girls.

421
00:21:37,629 --> 00:21:39,048
This family...

422
00:21:39,847 --> 00:21:41,684
is what makes me special.

423
00:21:43,825 --> 00:21:45,082
You four...

424
00:21:46,579 --> 00:21:48,137
you're what make me great.

425
00:21:50,957 --> 00:21:53,551
And I'm sorry if I haven't done
a good job of...

426
00:21:53,881 --> 00:21:56,176
showing you that enough lately.

427
00:22:00,708 --> 00:22:01,739
Anyway...

428
00:22:02,809 --> 00:22:04,660
Now, who's ready for some pie?

429
00:22:04,662 --> 00:22:05,879
Oh, y'all know the new year

430
00:22:05,904 --> 00:22:08,322
doesn't start
till we get our boo-berry on.

431
00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:19,291
We don't even know
if this is the right place.

432
00:22:19,293 --> 00:22:21,393
Toby, I have spent two solid
weeks online friend-requesting

433
00:22:21,395 --> 00:22:23,062
every single person in my college

434
00:22:23,064 --> 00:22:24,430
to track down this weirdo.

435
00:22:24,950 --> 00:22:26,310
That's him.

436
00:22:26,786 --> 00:22:27,895
Gabe?

437
00:22:28,283 --> 00:22:29,512
- Hey.
- Hey.

438
00:22:30,114 --> 00:22:31,489
You can't have them back.

439
00:22:32,270 --> 00:22:33,270
Ha!

440
00:22:34,254 --> 00:22:35,346
Here's the thing, Gabe.

441
00:22:35,371 --> 00:22:37,355
I made a really big mistake
when I sold those to you.

442
00:22:37,379 --> 00:22:39,895
- Want to give them back to us?
- Sorry, no can do.

443
00:22:39,897 --> 00:22:41,881
- We'll pay for them. I'll pay for them.
- Yeah.

444
00:22:41,968 --> 00:22:43,734
And what'd you pay, ten bucks?

445
00:22:44,168 --> 00:22:45,528
Waah.

446
00:22:46,731 --> 00:22:47,918
I'll give you $50.

447
00:22:48,746 --> 00:22:50,761
- Hundred?
- I hate to be a dick,

448
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:53,270
but that stuff's priceless. Sorry.

449
00:22:54,614 --> 00:22:56,835
Now, see, I told you.
So let's just, let's go.

450
00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:58,223
No, no, no. I'm pregnant.

451
00:23:01,004 --> 00:23:02,168
And...

452
00:23:03,004 --> 00:23:06,057
for 40 years, my husband was planning

453
00:23:06,082 --> 00:23:08,356
on giving those to his child
when he had one.

454
00:23:08,889 --> 00:23:10,543
And I am with said child.

455
00:23:12,575 --> 00:23:15,573
I literally have nothing
to give... my baby,

456
00:23:15,598 --> 00:23:18,332
because my entire house
burned down in a fire.

457
00:23:18,939 --> 00:23:20,239
Whoa.

458
00:23:21,007 --> 00:23:22,489
And my dad died.

459
00:23:26,617 --> 00:23:28,151
And... I literally,

460
00:23:28,176 --> 00:23:30,195
I mean, I don't have anything.

461
00:23:31,496 --> 00:23:34,145
Not... My Little Ponys,
not my Cabbage Patch dolls

462
00:23:34,170 --> 00:23:37,496
and not my Three Rivers Stadium
that my dad built for me.

463
00:23:39,012 --> 00:23:42,011
I'm not gonna have anything
to give to my baby

464
00:23:42,036 --> 00:23:44,840
from my childhood, but... but he can...

465
00:23:45,153 --> 00:23:47,317
he can have something from his father.

466
00:23:47,481 --> 00:23:48,713
So, Gabe,

467
00:23:49,208 --> 00:23:50,661
Just ask yourself:

468
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:54,745
do you really want to spend
your New Year's Eve

469
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:57,181
disappointing a pregnant lady
whose father died

470
00:23:57,183 --> 00:23:59,528
because of a devastating house fire?

471
00:24:04,621 --> 00:24:06,090
Yeah, sorry.

472
00:24:06,726 --> 00:24:08,286
Okay, happy New Year.

473
00:24:08,311 --> 00:24:09,426
"Yeah, sorry"?

474
00:24:16,395 --> 00:24:18,700
Sorry that took forever.

475
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,534
The salon was packed.

476
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,473
Everyone getting gussied up
for New Year's Eve.

477
00:24:22,873 --> 00:24:24,106
I know.

478
00:24:25,957 --> 00:24:27,504
- I got your tux.
- Thank you.

479
00:24:27,989 --> 00:24:30,214
What are you ogling at instead of me?

480
00:24:30,216 --> 00:24:32,216
It's, uh, Nicky's file.

481
00:24:32,715 --> 00:24:34,762
- Wait, they came? Why didn't you call?
- Uh-huh.

482
00:24:35,817 --> 00:24:38,003
Uh, there's no real answers here.

483
00:24:38,028 --> 00:24:40,479
Just that he got medevacked
out of Vietnam in '71

484
00:24:40,504 --> 00:24:43,307
and sent to, uh,
Walter Reed for a psych eval.

485
00:24:43,332 --> 00:24:44,461
And then what?

486
00:24:45,606 --> 00:24:47,948
He, uh, got discharged
a few months later.

487
00:24:47,973 --> 00:24:49,989
He signed his papers "Clark Kent"?

488
00:24:51,707 --> 00:24:54,589
Yeah, here, just... look, you
can just read the whole thing.

489
00:24:54,614 --> 00:24:55,888
You don't need to hover
over me like that.

490
00:24:55,912 --> 00:24:57,356
Just, you know, have at it.

491
00:24:59,434 --> 00:25:01,364
- What's your problem?
- Don't worry about it.

492
00:25:02,927 --> 00:25:04,528
Uh, Kevin, if there's a problem...

493
00:25:04,553 --> 00:25:07,012
Yeah, okay, look, why haven't
you unpacked any of your stuff?

494
00:25:07,746 --> 00:25:09,755
I mean, should I...
should I be expecting an e-mail,

495
00:25:09,779 --> 00:25:11,739
like the one you sent
the congressman? Is that...?

496
00:25:12,797 --> 00:25:14,317
- Kevin...
- What's the plan?

497
00:25:14,406 --> 00:25:15,895
Huh? I mean, are...

498
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,270
are we supposed to just,
uh, step over these things

499
00:25:18,295 --> 00:25:20,328
like-like land mines
for the rest of our lives?

500
00:25:20,629 --> 00:25:22,192
- The rest of our lives?
- Yeah.

501
00:25:23,199 --> 00:25:25,707
Zoe, come on,
you said you wanted to move in, right?

502
00:25:26,553 --> 00:25:29,161
No. No. I didn't, actually.

503
00:25:30,064 --> 00:25:33,278
I told you I'd move in
to make you happy.

504
00:25:33,724 --> 00:25:35,778
Keep me happy? Okay, great,

505
00:25:35,803 --> 00:25:38,137
so I'm the bad guy because
I asked you to move in with me?

506
00:25:38,388 --> 00:25:40,121
Yeah, because that's what you do.

507
00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:43,090
Every step of this relationship
has been you...

508
00:25:43,628 --> 00:25:44,661
pushing me.

509
00:25:44,686 --> 00:25:45,832
- Pushing you?
- Yeah.

510
00:25:45,857 --> 00:25:47,114
- I'm pushing you?
- Yeah.

511
00:25:47,139 --> 00:25:49,019
That's how you think
this whole thing went down?

512
00:25:49,921 --> 00:25:51,161
You know what? I...

513
00:25:51,582 --> 00:25:52,810
I don't want to talk
about this right now.

514
00:25:52,834 --> 00:25:54,629
No, of course, no, you don't
want to talk about it right now.

515
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:55,740
You don't want to talk about it ever.

516
00:25:55,764 --> 00:25:56,896
You just want to use my living room

517
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,786
as an obstacle course
for all of your crap.

518
00:26:01,318 --> 00:26:02,723
I need some space.

519
00:26:16,065 --> 00:26:18,266
...your entire family
watch us eat dinner.

520
00:26:20,705 --> 00:26:22,232
Yeah.

521
00:26:24,807 --> 00:26:26,546
Hold on. We're not ready.

522
00:26:32,432 --> 00:26:34,721
All that stuff that you worry about,

523
00:26:35,322 --> 00:26:36,682
having balance...

524
00:26:38,260 --> 00:26:39,532
In my experience,

525
00:26:39,557 --> 00:26:42,899
there's one key piece to that puzzle.

526
00:26:43,604 --> 00:26:47,684
I just hope the universe puts
the right person in your path.

527
00:26:48,631 --> 00:26:50,377
Like your mom was for me.

528
00:26:52,588 --> 00:26:54,002
You know, someone who...

529
00:26:54,096 --> 00:26:56,266
brings out all the...
the good stuff in you,

530
00:26:56,291 --> 00:26:57,501
all your best stuff.

531
00:26:57,526 --> 00:26:59,315
Because, my God, son,

532
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:01,330
what a force you will be.

533
00:27:08,393 --> 00:27:09,463
You slept in.

534
00:27:09,488 --> 00:27:10,533
Mm.

535
00:27:12,752 --> 00:27:14,392
I was up late with the girls

536
00:27:14,417 --> 00:27:16,166
brushing up on all the holiday movies

537
00:27:16,191 --> 00:27:18,135
I missed watching with them this year.

538
00:27:19,108 --> 00:27:21,776
"A Chipmunk Christmas"
still makes me cry.

539
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:26,877
Uh, thought you were going
to church today in Philly.

540
00:27:27,619 --> 00:27:29,096
Making your final push.

541
00:27:29,655 --> 00:27:30,994
Nah.

542
00:27:35,608 --> 00:27:37,838
When you and I started dating,

543
00:27:38,065 --> 00:27:41,440
a few weeks in I asked you to
go, uh, shoe shopping with me.

544
00:27:41,465 --> 00:27:43,776
- You remember that?
- Do I remember?

545
00:27:43,912 --> 00:27:46,708
You had a full-on Terms of
Endearment-level meltdown

546
00:27:46,733 --> 00:27:48,299
in the middle of the Payless.

547
00:27:48,557 --> 00:27:51,080
And you tried to calm me down,
but you couldn't.

548
00:27:51,105 --> 00:27:54,632
So you just ended up
closing down the aisle

549
00:27:54,657 --> 00:27:56,065
while I sobbed.

550
00:27:56,581 --> 00:27:58,697
Like some kind
of shoe store traffic cop.

551
00:27:59,010 --> 00:28:00,494
Even though you didn't understand

552
00:28:00,496 --> 00:28:04,081
why a woman handing me
some rhinestone slingbacks

553
00:28:04,083 --> 00:28:06,143
could make me lose my mind.

554
00:28:08,801 --> 00:28:10,393
And it was that day

555
00:28:11,224 --> 00:28:13,799
I suspected I might marry this dude.

556
00:28:16,373 --> 00:28:19,290
Well, damn, baby, you could have
saved a broke-ass college boy

557
00:28:19,315 --> 00:28:22,588
a lot of money on cheesy dates
if you'd have told me that then.

558
00:28:23,655 --> 00:28:25,385
- Husband.
- Hmm?

559
00:28:27,156 --> 00:28:28,690
You are a man...

560
00:28:29,353 --> 00:28:32,963
who cares too much and tries too hard.

561
00:28:33,743 --> 00:28:35,588
It's who you've always been.

562
00:28:36,249 --> 00:28:37,736
It's who I married.

563
00:28:38,336 --> 00:28:39,721
A great man.

564
00:28:43,644 --> 00:28:46,354
I will not let you forget

565
00:28:46,931 --> 00:28:48,807
who you are.

566
00:28:52,598 --> 00:28:54,322
I should've had your back.

567
00:28:58,015 --> 00:29:00,260
You need to finish this campaign.

568
00:29:07,745 --> 00:29:09,916
Why did the slingbacks make you cry?

569
00:29:15,777 --> 00:29:17,557
It was the woman who brought them to me.

570
00:29:19,826 --> 00:29:22,783
She smelled like eucalyptus oil,
and my dad used to...

571
00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:25,807
...use it on his hands.

572
00:29:28,639 --> 00:29:29,932
I get it.

573
00:29:32,410 --> 00:29:33,643
I know you do.

574
00:29:36,926 --> 00:29:39,143
Now, get up. Okay?

575
00:29:39,461 --> 00:29:40,580
Get dressed.

576
00:29:42,971 --> 00:29:45,135
I'll tell the girls
to put their church clothes on.

577
00:29:46,302 --> 00:29:47,518
Yes, ma'am.

578
00:29:48,026 --> 00:29:49,377
Somebody say "amen."

579
00:29:49,402 --> 00:29:50,588
Amen!

580
00:29:50,613 --> 00:29:53,440
Jesus knew, if he wanted
to be a great leader,

581
00:29:53,465 --> 00:29:56,994
he had to be a servant
to the people he served.

582
00:29:57,210 --> 00:29:58,378
- Yes, sir!
- Now, we all know

583
00:29:58,402 --> 00:30:00,552
we have to make
a big decision next Tuesday.

584
00:30:00,947 --> 00:30:03,104
- Mm-hmm.
- We got to decide

585
00:30:03,129 --> 00:30:04,545
who will serve us.

586
00:30:04,834 --> 00:30:06,627
- All right, now.
- That's right.

587
00:30:06,873 --> 00:30:09,838
Now, I've known Councilman
Sol Brown for 20 years.

588
00:30:09,863 --> 00:30:12,588
- Yes!
- He's a staple of this community.

589
00:30:12,971 --> 00:30:15,018
- Yes, he is.
- He has served us proudly

590
00:30:15,043 --> 00:30:17,299
- for the last 15 years.
- Yes!

591
00:30:17,502 --> 00:30:21,504
Now, Randall Pearson I've
only known for a few months.

592
00:30:21,670 --> 00:30:23,283
He's got a lot of passion,

593
00:30:23,695 --> 00:30:25,486
but will he serve us?

594
00:30:26,595 --> 00:30:30,213
All I know is that he
is fundamentally decent,

595
00:30:30,615 --> 00:30:32,768
which isn't necessarily
in vogue these days.

596
00:30:32,793 --> 00:30:34,826
- Uh-huh!
- I know he drives

597
00:30:34,851 --> 00:30:38,026
two hours each way every day
to get here.

598
00:30:38,229 --> 00:30:40,988
He has knocked on so many of our doors,

599
00:30:40,990 --> 00:30:43,291
when we sang "Somebody's
Knocking at Your Door"

600
00:30:43,316 --> 00:30:45,643
last Sunday, a little girl
called out, she said,

601
00:30:45,668 --> 00:30:47,385
"It's Randall Pearson."

602
00:30:48,107 --> 00:30:51,549
It's not 15 years of history here,

603
00:30:51,627 --> 00:30:54,174
but he has sure done a lot
with the time he's had.

604
00:30:55,849 --> 00:30:57,229
Now, the truth is,

605
00:30:57,537 --> 00:30:58,682
I think...

606
00:31:00,368 --> 00:31:02,533
we are in capable hands...

607
00:31:04,541 --> 00:31:06,701
- with either one of these men.
- Mm-hmm.

608
00:31:06,913 --> 00:31:09,166
- Somebody say, "Amen".
- Amen!

609
00:31:09,191 --> 00:31:10,830
- Amen!
- Amen!

610
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:14,119
Well, that was unexpected.

611
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:20,518
Hey, Tobe?

612
00:31:21,050 --> 00:31:22,213
Yeah?

613
00:31:27,252 --> 00:31:29,580
Wait. You can tell these
aren't yours from over there?

614
00:31:29,605 --> 00:31:30,971
Yeah.

615
00:31:30,996 --> 00:31:33,079
A man knows his Chewbacca.

616
00:31:33,104 --> 00:31:34,361
Where'd you get them?

617
00:31:35,865 --> 00:31:36,931
eBay.

618
00:31:38,438 --> 00:31:40,271
I tried to get yours back
from Gabe, but...

619
00:31:40,963 --> 00:31:42,596
God knows I tried. I mean...

620
00:31:43,024 --> 00:31:45,463
I tried things you would be
incredibly uncomfortable with.

621
00:31:45,488 --> 00:31:47,877
Those are pretty cool.
They must've cost you a fortune.

622
00:31:48,729 --> 00:31:49,799
Eh.

623
00:31:50,233 --> 00:31:51,385
Yeah, I know.

624
00:31:52,152 --> 00:31:53,205
Babe,

625
00:31:53,891 --> 00:31:55,651
we're starting a new family.

626
00:31:56,019 --> 00:31:57,213
Our family.

627
00:31:57,989 --> 00:31:59,438
And, no, we don't have

628
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,526
all of your action figures to pass down.

629
00:32:01,551 --> 00:32:04,479
And, no, we don't have
my handmade football stadium.

630
00:32:04,909 --> 00:32:07,885
But, babe, we come with us.

631
00:32:08,588 --> 00:32:10,948
You don't need to pass down
your favorite thing to your son,

632
00:32:11,284 --> 00:32:14,658
because I know
with every part of me that you

633
00:32:15,555 --> 00:32:17,783
are gonna be our son's favorite thing.

634
00:32:18,087 --> 00:32:19,471
- You.
- Mm.

635
00:32:20,370 --> 00:32:21,653
You hear me?

636
00:32:22,361 --> 00:32:24,361
Okay. I got to go back

637
00:32:24,386 --> 00:32:26,089
to my laptop. They're selling
an original Boba Fett

638
00:32:26,113 --> 00:32:27,213
in, like, the next five.

639
00:32:27,238 --> 00:32:29,205
- Go. Go.
- Going!

640
00:32:33,401 --> 00:32:35,757
We have an update in perhaps
the most surprising race

641
00:32:35,782 --> 00:32:37,582
in the local Philadelphia
elections tonight...

642
00:32:37,606 --> 00:32:39,447
- Tobe.
- Okay. Come on in!

643
00:32:42,997 --> 00:32:44,471
Babe.

644
00:32:45,105 --> 00:32:46,471
- Oh.
- Huh?

645
00:32:48,151 --> 00:32:50,065
And... ta-da.

646
00:33:01,788 --> 00:33:03,212
What...

647
00:33:09,681 --> 00:33:11,330
Well, I called Kevin,

648
00:33:11,332 --> 00:33:13,516
and he looked through
a bunch of photos and found one

649
00:33:13,518 --> 00:33:15,766
of the stadium your dad built for you.

650
00:33:24,696 --> 00:33:26,412
I took that photo to a...

651
00:33:26,414 --> 00:33:28,102
weird little man named Edwin

652
00:33:28,127 --> 00:33:29,760
who builds dollhouses,

653
00:33:29,785 --> 00:33:31,251
and then he built this replica.

654
00:33:31,904 --> 00:33:32,937
And, for the record,

655
00:33:32,962 --> 00:33:35,384
I'm going to be
our kid's second favorite thing.

656
00:33:36,304 --> 00:33:37,618
You're the first.

657
00:33:39,845 --> 00:33:41,410
Anyhow, I...

658
00:33:41,837 --> 00:33:43,329
I hope you like it.

659
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,132
But it's okay if you don't.

660
00:33:47,315 --> 00:33:49,337
Oh, no, is this going sideways on me?

661
00:33:50,095 --> 00:33:51,173
Kevin,

662
00:33:51,383 --> 00:33:52,673
I can't do this.

663
00:34:06,118 --> 00:34:07,243
Tobe, hey, what's up?

664
00:34:07,268 --> 00:34:09,454
Hey. Look, uh,
Kate has been crying for, like,

665
00:34:09,479 --> 00:34:10,595
five minutes straight.

666
00:34:10,857 --> 00:34:12,744
Is there, like, a twin cure
for something like this?

667
00:34:12,768 --> 00:34:14,033
Is it good crying or bad crying?

668
00:34:14,057 --> 00:34:15,141
Unclear.

669
00:34:17,752 --> 00:34:18,901
How's it going there?

670
00:34:19,035 --> 00:34:20,204
Unclear.

671
00:34:20,564 --> 00:34:22,331
Hey, Tobe, listen,
I got to go, all right?

672
00:34:22,356 --> 00:34:24,876
- I'll c... I'll call you back.
- All right.

673
00:34:27,723 --> 00:34:29,845
Is this a-a good cry?

674
00:34:30,901 --> 00:34:32,063
Yeah.

675
00:34:33,788 --> 00:34:35,141
It's a good cry.

676
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:42,930
Hey, um, whatever happens, dude,

677
00:34:43,382 --> 00:34:45,243
what you did
in these last seven weeks...

678
00:34:45,845 --> 00:34:47,048
it's unheard of.

679
00:34:49,178 --> 00:34:50,274
Yeah.

680
00:34:51,410 --> 00:34:53,305
It's been the longest
seven weeks of my life.

681
00:34:56,221 --> 00:34:57,384
Excuse me.

682
00:34:57,541 --> 00:34:58,665
Yeah.

683
00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:06,040
Any word yet?

684
00:35:06,638 --> 00:35:09,772
Sounds like we're not gonna find
out who won till after midnight.

685
00:35:10,524 --> 00:35:12,485
- Okay.
- Yeah.

686
00:35:15,819 --> 00:35:16,993
Hey, guys.

687
00:35:18,024 --> 00:35:21,509
Could we all gather around, please?

688
00:35:22,715 --> 00:35:24,376
Listen, I just wanted to take a moment

689
00:35:24,401 --> 00:35:26,435
to thank you all for being here.

690
00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:29,907
I know these last few weeks, um...

691
00:35:31,227 --> 00:35:32,438
I pushed you.

692
00:35:32,855 --> 00:35:34,588
But I pushed myself, too.

693
00:35:35,266 --> 00:35:38,292
Doors got slammed in our faces,
and we knocked again.

694
00:35:38,649 --> 00:35:41,262
Flyers got torn down and thrown out,

695
00:35:41,264 --> 00:35:43,163
and we put up new ones.

696
00:35:43,165 --> 00:35:45,266
Whatever happened to us
in these tough days,

697
00:35:45,268 --> 00:35:47,368
we just kept pushing.

698
00:35:47,821 --> 00:35:50,087
And we did it because we believed

699
00:35:50,089 --> 00:35:51,876
in what our future here could be.

700
00:35:52,649 --> 00:35:55,025
We were given four words...

701
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,954
"The numbers aren't there"...

702
00:35:57,204 --> 00:35:59,704
and we turned those
into four new ones...

703
00:35:59,821 --> 00:36:01,348
"Too close to call."

704
00:36:02,549 --> 00:36:05,079
So, um, go home proud.

705
00:36:06,274 --> 00:36:08,384
We're not gonna find out
what happened tonight.

706
00:36:09,485 --> 00:36:12,192
And I have a feeling
that we could all use the rest.

707
00:36:12,532 --> 00:36:13,702
So, thank you.

708
00:36:13,735 --> 00:36:14,995
Thank you, everyone!

709
00:36:20,436 --> 00:36:22,002
- Come on.
- All right.

710
00:36:22,462 --> 00:36:23,837
- Proud of you, man.
- Thank you.

711
00:36:23,839 --> 00:36:25,706
- Appreciate it, man. Okay.
- I'll call you.

712
00:36:27,369 --> 00:36:28,802
Thank you very much, sir.

713
00:36:28,827 --> 00:36:30,274
Appreciate you being here.

714
00:36:38,891 --> 00:36:40,259
I have pepper spray.

715
00:36:40,759 --> 00:36:42,141
Kevin, relax.

716
00:36:42,677 --> 00:36:43,930
It's just me.

717
00:36:46,141 --> 00:36:48,395
- Oh.
- Wait, you carry pepper spray?

718
00:36:49,962 --> 00:36:51,149
No.

719
00:36:53,024 --> 00:36:54,301
Listen, Kevin, you...

720
00:36:55,626 --> 00:36:57,563
you're one of the only people that knows

721
00:36:57,879 --> 00:36:59,079
what my dad...

722
00:37:00,146 --> 00:37:01,399
and, um...

723
00:37:04,204 --> 00:37:07,062
I had three locks
on my apartment door in Chicago,

724
00:37:07,134 --> 00:37:08,484
bars on the windows,

725
00:37:08,509 --> 00:37:10,055
not because I was actually worried

726
00:37:10,057 --> 00:37:11,930
about someone breaking in, but...

727
00:37:12,797 --> 00:37:14,501
peace of mind was...

728
00:37:15,204 --> 00:37:16,626
taken from me.

729
00:37:18,571 --> 00:37:20,766
I'm sorry. I can't even imagine that.

730
00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:24,555
It's a lot for me to...

731
00:37:25,165 --> 00:37:27,070
give up my own safe space.

732
00:37:27,095 --> 00:37:28,907
More than it is for most people.

733
00:37:30,173 --> 00:37:31,410
And, uh...

734
00:37:31,977 --> 00:37:34,279
the idea of giving that up,

735
00:37:35,298 --> 00:37:36,331
it's, uh...

736
00:37:37,352 --> 00:37:39,818
it's why I've never lived
with anyone before.

737
00:37:41,188 --> 00:37:42,790
We don't have to live together, then.

738
00:37:43,204 --> 00:37:45,632
You know? Uh, or you don't
even have to unpack, actually.

739
00:37:45,657 --> 00:37:47,626
I'll just... I'll walk over your
stuff for the rest of my life.

740
00:37:47,650 --> 00:37:49,118
It'll be good for my calves.

741
00:37:49,602 --> 00:37:51,304
I want to live with you.

742
00:37:51,329 --> 00:37:52,399
I do.

743
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:54,066
And, uh...

744
00:37:54,641 --> 00:37:56,157
Because even though you,

745
00:37:56,524 --> 00:38:00,118
you just might be the most pushy
person I have ever met,

746
00:38:00,982 --> 00:38:02,087
I...

747
00:38:03,016 --> 00:38:06,524
I think I like what you're pushing for.

748
00:38:10,368 --> 00:38:11,915
I'm in love with you.

749
00:38:14,078 --> 00:38:16,243
And I want John Stamos back.

750
00:38:26,755 --> 00:38:28,055
Let's go home.

751
00:38:40,089 --> 00:38:41,656
Oh, this one's not mine.

752
00:38:41,658 --> 00:38:43,708
No, that... uh,
that's a box of my dad's stuff.

753
00:38:43,710 --> 00:38:45,299
It's where I found the Vietnam mementos.

754
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:47,003
It must've gotten mixed up
with your stuff.

755
00:38:49,939 --> 00:38:50,915
Babe?

756
00:38:50,940 --> 00:38:52,275
Where do you want
the weird voodoo dolls?

757
00:38:52,299 --> 00:38:53,493
- They're not weird.
- Mm.

758
00:38:53,518 --> 00:38:54,766
- They're from Haiti.
- Oh.

759
00:38:54,815 --> 00:38:56,313
Don't mess with my voodoo, boy.

760
00:38:56,338 --> 00:38:57,540
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

761
00:38:57,625 --> 00:38:59,071
I'll just put those right over here.

762
00:39:03,078 --> 00:39:05,688
"Jack, Last one. C.K."

763
00:39:06,674 --> 00:39:07,954
Who's C.K.?

764
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,235
Let me see that.

765
00:39:15,315 --> 00:39:16,407
"C.K."

766
00:39:19,201 --> 00:39:20,610
Like Clark Kent.

767
00:39:22,195 --> 00:39:24,040
My dad knew Nicky was alive.

768
00:39:24,309 --> 00:39:25,735
Why would he lie to us?

769
00:39:27,377 --> 00:39:29,384
Well, there's a return address.

770
00:39:29,962 --> 00:39:31,782
Bradford, Pennsylvania.

771
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,040
You think he's still there?

772
00:39:38,634 --> 00:39:41,063
I wonder what my father
would think about this.

773
00:39:43,087 --> 00:39:44,704
About me running.

774
00:39:46,204 --> 00:39:47,813
About me having found you.

775
00:39:49,282 --> 00:39:50,726
About all of it.

776
00:39:50,751 --> 00:39:52,687
There's so much he didn't get to see.

777
00:39:52,712 --> 00:39:54,702
So, our son is officially the size

778
00:39:54,727 --> 00:39:55,786
of a tomato.

779
00:39:55,788 --> 00:39:58,238
Uh, to-mah-to, please. It's classier.

780
00:39:58,240 --> 00:39:59,673
And our son is gonna be...

781
00:39:59,675 --> 00:40:01,024
Classy as hell.

782
00:40:01,157 --> 00:40:02,793
Ooh. 'Kay.

783
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,380
So much stuff he never got to share in.

784
00:40:06,554 --> 00:40:09,194
You sure you don't want to go find
your brother's name on the wall?

785
00:40:12,024 --> 00:40:13,095
No.

786
00:40:13,712 --> 00:40:15,032
No, too sad for me.

787
00:40:16,516 --> 00:40:20,260
Sometimes I feel like
this big ol' puppet, you know?

788
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,230
He's just pulling the strings
from up there,

789
00:40:23,985 --> 00:40:26,845
just tugging me around
wherever he wants me to go.

790
00:40:30,453 --> 00:40:31,602
I don't know.

791
00:40:35,759 --> 00:40:38,600
I think back on all these moments

792
00:40:38,625 --> 00:40:40,305
and all these memories,

793
00:40:42,657 --> 00:40:46,360
and sometimes it feels like
there's been a plan for my life.

794
00:40:48,858 --> 00:40:50,470
Like, from the beginning.

00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:56,532
Maybe everyone feels that way.

796
00:40:58,376 --> 00:41:00,905
Maybe I'm not that special,

797
00:41:00,930 --> 00:41:04,555
and this is just what it is
to be a person, you know?

798
00:41:09,516 --> 00:41:11,665
You're very special, babe.

799
00:41:12,118 --> 00:41:13,213
Thank you.

800
00:41:14,860 --> 00:41:17,093
You're also very tired.

801
00:41:36,595 --> 00:41:37,837
Hello?

802
00:41:39,352 --> 00:41:40,950
Yeah, no, of course.

803
00:41:48,429 --> 00:41:50,024
Thanks for letting me know.

804
00:42:09,437 --> 00:42:10,468
I won.
