Original subtitles

Carlos, it's so good to hear from you.

You know, Mary has been so out of touch lately. We've called and called, but we

haven't heard from her.

Oh, gosh. How's Charlie?

I hate that you guys live so far away. Children grow up so fast.

Any chance that you could bring him by one weekend?

Oh, I know.

I know. I just wish you and Mary lived closer.

Well, it must be hard for you with most of your family living in Puerto Rico.

Well, just know that we're here for you.

Okay?

Any news?

Anything going on with you two?

Oh, things seem to be fine, yeah. Even with Mary traveling so much.

Well, maybe she'll get tired of traveling.

I know, I know. She loves it.

But who knows? Maybe that will change.

I don't know. Maybe you two will, you know, think about having some more

children.

We're in trouble. Big trouble.

Mom's talking to Carlos. It's like the Spanish Inquisition by phone.

Well, he's not coming here, is he?

It doesn't sound like it.

Well, obviously he's not going to mention that she's having another baby

she's not. I think we better call Simon.

Because? Because Simon got us into this lie. He should get us out of it. Well, I

don't know how he's going to get us out of it.

Only the truth is going to get us out of it, and it's not our truth to tell.

Maybe it's best if Carlos does tell Mom that Mary's not having another baby, and

then maybe all of this will just go away. Go away for how long?

Once they find out the truth, they'll find out we were all lying. And worse,

they'll find out why we were lying.

Yes, but they'll know we were trying not to hurt them.

So it's okay to lie to them to protect them from getting hurt?

No, but... But what?

Wait a minute.

Suppose Carlos is calling to tell them that Mary moved out.

Shouldn't he let Mary tell them that?

He should, but since Mary hasn't... But maybe...

Maybe he's calling to tell them that everything's okay again. Maybe Mary

back in. Maybe Mary was just going through a crisis and they found a way to

it all out.

Okay, suppose we tell them that.

Then we just tell them that we misunderstood something Mary said and we

she said she was having a baby.

What would we have misunderstood that led us to think that?

I don't know, but maybe Simon does?

Seven heavens, when I see their happy faces falling back at me.

Seven heavens, I know there's no greater feeling than the love of family.

Where can you go when the world don't treat

you right? The answer is home.

one place that you'll find seven seven

Breakfast. Take that.

I'm not answering that. Only family calls before noon.

What if it's an emergency?

We're going to tell Mom and Dad, because Mom's been talking to Carlos, and this

whole lie is going to unravel unless we come up with more better and different

lies. Call me.

Nothing.

Evidently, my sister Mary has decided that she doesn't want to be married and

have a baby, although she is married and has a baby. So she's taking a little

break, and we're trying to cover for her. I'm sure it'll all work out.

Sometimes it's tough telling someone something that's so... I mean, it's just

that people aren't perfect. We all know that. But when it comes to telling

someone something about ourselves that isn't so great, we just have a difficult

time.

Yeah. So I'm just saying Mary's not a bad person just because she doesn't want

to be married or be a mother. Well, no.

But it does make her an irresponsible person.

Yeah, I guess.

But people can't help who they are.

All people can help being irresponsible.

Maybe she can't.

I mean, sometimes people are irresponsible. It just happens.

Oh, see, I'm not sure if I agree with you. Well, I don't want to argue with

I care about you. I care about you, too. Yes.

But you might not care about me if I told you something about me that I

have told you about last night, which is kind of why I sympathize with your

sister.

What are you trying to tell me?

Okay.

Promise you won't be angry with me.

What could you say to me that would make me angry?

Promise.

Look, if this is about our relationship not being exclusive, I thought that that

was understood when we got together last night.

It's kind of about that.

Well, surely you know when you're with a woman, you're with every man she's ever

been with.

I'm sorry, could you... Could you say that to me in another way?

Well, you know I've been with other men, you've been with other women.

So, I mean, now I've been with every girl you've been with.

I think that I know where this is going. So if you could just say what you want

to say.

Hey,

you talking?

Oh, she looks so sweet in that.

I know. She looks sweet in everything.

And in nothing.

I love this little girl, I do.

And I love all my girls.

You and Ruthie and Mary.

I know, Mom.

I love you. I love you, too.

And I love Ruthie.

And she loves you. And I love Mary.

As much as I love you and I love Ruthie.

And I'm sure Mary loves you just as much as Ruthie and I do. So why didn't she

just tell me that she's having another baby?

And why don't you and Ruthie tell her that you've already told me that she's

having another baby?

I mean, I want to be part of her life.

I want to be part of her having another child. I can talk to her about that.

I've had lots of experience. I'm her mother. She should share this with me.

frankly, I think she should have shared this little secret with me before she

shared it with you and Ruthie. I know, but the thing is, she didn't. And now

we're in this really awkward position of knowing something that we really didn't

want to know before you know it. It's my fault.

I don't talk to her enough.

I don't call her enough.

I don't even go visit her and Carlos and the baby.

You know what?

That's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to go and visit her and Carlos and the baby.

Oh, but... Oh, but you need me, Luz. Listen.

You don't need me. You're doing fine. Just fine.

This will be a great...

opportunity for you to learn that you don't need me as much as you think you

You and Kevin are going to do just fine on your own. But that's not the point. I

mean, the point is... The point is, I'm going to New York.

Hi, this is Simon. Leave a message. I'll call you back.

into New York to see Mary so she can get Mary to tell her about the baby and we

all know that there is no baby all of us but mom and dad who we have to live

with and you don't you got us into this you get us out of this you call me as

soon as you get in from class wait no

Hey, Matt.

It's me.

It's Simon.

Simon Camden.

Call me, please.

Whenever you get this message, just call me.

I'm in trouble.

Possibly. I don't know.

Doesn't that sound great?

I can take off after church tomorrow and then come back, like, Wednesday.

You mean you got to officially find out before I do?

Well, you got to unofficially find out before I did.

All right, well, I guess that's fair.

No, that's more than fair. You're her mother.

Of course, I'm her father.

We can leave Sam and David with Kevin and Lucy.

Oh, I don't think so.

Oh, Ruthie and Martin will help watch them. Yeah, and who will watch Ruthie

Martin? No, you go. I'll watch the boys.

Oh, great.

Thanks.

Hello?

Hey, Dad, glad I caught you. I've been looking for my phone for a week. Then I

realized maybe I left it there.

Yes, I found it. I was going to mail it to you, but I haven't gotten around to

it. I'm sorry.

No, I'm just glad you found it. I've been waiting for a call from that doctor

did the seminar with.

I got a call from him at the hospital, but I missed him. I tried picking up my

messages from our phone, but for some reason, it's not working.

Yeah, you have a couple of messages.

Do you need a code to retrieve them?

All you have to do is press one and hold it down.

Hey, you know, your mom's decided to come to New York. She could bring the

to you.

Mom's coming to New York? Yeah, she wants to see Mary. She's hoping Mary

tell her all about the new baby.

Are you there?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm still here.

Um, you know, maybe I'll just pick up the messages myself.

Oh, I'm already listening.

There's one from Sarah.

Just call her.

But that was last week. Yeah, I'll just check them when I pick up the phone.

It's okay.

Dad?

Okay.

Before you said that, I was already listening to the next messages from

Oh.

Simon.

What's the message?

He wants you to call.

All right. I'll call him.

Did he say anything else, why he wants me to call him?

Um, I'm not sure I heard anything more than that. Just call him. All right,

call him. And I'll, uh, I'll send the phone with your mother.

Does Mary know she's coming? You know, she might not even be there. She might

flying. I think she's working this week.

That's okay.

I'm sure your mom will want to go anyway, even if it's just to see Carlos

Charlie and, you know, have Carlos give her the good news.

Yeah, all right.

Thanks. I've got to run.

and asked Dad to check my messages.

He said you called, but that's all he said.

Did you say anything else? You know, about Mary or anything?

Call me at the house. Although I'm not at the house, I'm on rotation, and you

probably won't be able to get me at the hospital, but just try to reach me, will

you?

Mom's going to New York to see Mary.

I'm going to the grown -up. Do you want to go hang out?

I've tried hanging out with you and Max before, and it didn't work out so hot.

Besides, I told Vincent I couldn't go out tonight. You're tired of him

No, and why do you sound so hopeful that I am?

I didn't sound hopeful, and you didn't answer my question.

There's just a lot of stuff going on around here.

Yeah, everyone seems weird at dinner. Not just tonight, for the past week or

What's going on?

There's just... It's a family thing. And I'm not family, of course, so why

should you tell me?

Believe me, you don't want to know.

Do we want to know?

No, it's nothing, really.

Then why didn't you go out?

Yeah, you like Vincent.

Well, I like you too.

And I just wanted to spend tonight with you.

So you're going to do something with us?

Yeah, you should play a game with him or something.

Yeah, we want to play a game.

Sure, why don't you go pick one out?

Thanks. You're welcome.

All right, if you must know, Mary and Carlos might be splitting up, but Mom

Dad think they're having another baby.

Why do they think that?

Because we told them that.

Simon told them.

And then Matt and Lucy and Kevin and I were just kind of going along with it.

Because? It just kind of happened.

Then can't you just kind of tell them the truth?

No, we want Mary to tell them the truth.

So you got your mom to go to New York? We didn't get her to go. She decided to

go. And I don't know if she'll find out about Mary, but she'll definitely find

out that we all lied. And then what do we tell her? You know, what if Carlos

lies and tells her that Mary's just at work or something, and then Mom tells

she knows they're having a baby?

And then Carlos tells her they're not?

Then you'll all be caught in a lie, and I guess you'll have to come up with a

new lie.

I hope not.

Got any ideas?

Uh, no.

I myself don't have enough experience in this level of lying to help you, so...

See ya.

You're playing a game. Can I play with you?

Since I'm going to be away for a few days.

It might be nice if we spend some time together.

Don't you think?

Yes, it would be nice.

What, you don't want me to play with you?

Who's he going to play a game with us?

She's tired of going out with Vincent.

I'm not tired of Vincent.

Well, didn't he ask you out for tonight?

Yeah, he asked me out.

But I was going to stay home tonight and spend time with my brothers.

Oh, well, since I'm going to be in New York, you know.

You'll have plenty of time with them.

Well, I didn't know that when I told Vincent I was staying home to be with

Well, do you want to call and tell him that? Because I can play a game with the

boys. No, that's okay.

I don't have to go with them every weekend.

It'll keep them interested.

Hmm, that's very smart of you.

All right, well, um, I'll go pack.

Bye, you guys.

Are you sure you want to spend time with us?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You don't... look that happy about it. I'm happy. All right. Are you lying?

No. Why would you say that?

Because you are.

I'm going to get packed as quickly as possible so I don't disturb you.

You're not disturbing me. I mean, I could read this just as well in my

but you're going to be gone for a few days.

Felt like being near you.

Are you okay with my going away?

You seem a little off.

Oh, I'm way off. I think we both know that.

You're sure you don't mind if I go? No, you should go. It'll be good to get

everything out in the open.

Is anything else bothering you? Something I don't know about?

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine.

Or it will be.

She didn't come?

Who? Ruthie.

No! I thought she was coming.

I said I would ask her if she wanted to hang out with us. I asked her. She

didn't want to hang out with us.

Why not?

She said it didn't work out that great last time.

Yeah, but that was before I knew that she has a crush on me. I had a crush on

you. She had a crush on you. She no longer has a crush on you. She has a

boyfriend. Had a boyfriend.

I saw him wandering around with some girl. Would have been the perfect time.

For? For her to hang out with us.

You're too old for her and you're not going out with her. And if you do go out

with her, you're not going to be my friend.

I knew you liked her.

No, I don't. She's like a sister to me and I would never let my sister go out

with you.

Look, can you hold on a minute?

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

Look, I know what this looks like.

Looks like you're cheating on Ruthie, and we don't like that.

Well, I asked Ruthie out, and she said no.

So I asked out somebody else.

Oh, that's really understanding. You know, considering the personal crisis

going through with her family right now. What personal crisis?

She told me she wanted to hang out with Sam and David. I thought that was a

pretty lame way of telling me she didn't want to go out.

But why are you upset about this?

I know why he's upset, but why are you upset?

She's like a sister to me, too.

Well, personally, I don't think either of you think of her as a sister, but

whatever.

What personal crisis?

She's not sick or anything?

No. You're lying. She's sick, isn't she? Is it serious?

She's not sick.

She and her brothers and sister lied about something her sister Mary did.

what? She cheated on Carlos or something?

No, not like cheating on Carlos.

She left him, and they're all covering it up by saying she's pregnant.

It doesn't make sense to me either.

Shouldn't you be getting back to your date?

Yeah, I guess so.

Good night.

I'm sorry about that. It was just some guys from school.

But they said that the movie sold out, so maybe we can make it some other time?

Well, we could do something else.

All right, I'm lying.

I asked you out because I like you, but also because Ruthie Camden and I have

been dating and suddenly she didn't want to go out.

All right.

I've done stuff like that myself.

So thanks for being honest.

And if you ever really want to go out, I'll probably have to turn you down. I

mean, considering this happened.

Should I drive you home?

I'm not taking the bus.

There they are, my girls.

Hey, don't kiss her.

She's too young to get drunk.

I'm not drunk.

I didn't even have a beer. I went to the pool hall with the guys, just like I

told you I was going to do, and I drank coffee.

Well, I thought you were going to be home hours ago. I wanted to wait until

everyone divided up and went to their rooms. I couldn't take another family

dinner. I can't believe we're lying to your parents about Mary.

We didn't... Lie?

I think we did. You did anyway. You went right along with what Simon told them,

and I sat there and did nothing, which is just as bad as lying.

I can't believe it. You're a minister.

Yeah, and I'm also a sister and a daughter, and sometimes people have to

Like, you didn't just drink coffee.

Yes, I did. I wanted to be awake so I could stay up with Savannah and take

of her, since you've had her all day alone.

You're calling someone when we're in the middle of an argument?

I forgot. Simon called me earlier and left a message. She sounded kind of

depressed or something.

Simon. Kevin.

Call me back.

Simon's probably depressed or something because Mom is going to New York to

visit Mary, Carlos, and the baby. She thinks that if she shows up in person

Mary will tell her about the new blessed event.

There is no blessed event.

There is no Mary.

So someone should call Carlos and tell him that we lied so he's prepared.

Prepared for what? To lie with us? I'm not making that call.

I'm not suggesting that you make that call. I'm suggesting that you tell Simon

to make that call.

It's me, Vincent.

I heard about your family crisis.

Why didn't you just tell me about it so I didn't have to hear about it from

Martin and Mac?

I didn't tell you about it because I didn't want you to know.

Yeah, but you should have thought of something better than you wanted to hang

out with your little brothers.

You've been acting really weird at school all week.

Well, sometimes I like hanging out with Sam and David.

Not tonight.

No, not tonight.

Tonight, there was the aforementioned family crisis that I didn't want you to

know about.

So I used Sam and David as an excuse.

But I did hang out with them.

We played checkers.

Wait.

What did Martin tell you?

And he told you and Mac?

Wait, Mac knows too?

Yeah.

What, is he telling everyone?

I don't know.

Well, then why are you here if you know that I didn't want you around while we

had a family crisis going on?

Because I wanted to tell you that I was out on a date when Martin and Mac saw

me.

I thought you were making excuses because you didn't want to go out with

anymore. You thought I was lying to you?

Yeah, I did.

And you were, kind of.

So I asked out someone else.

You can do that, you know.

Ask someone out.

Then I can go out with someone else if I want to.

Yeah, you can, but I hope you don't.

Not until we're not seeing each other anymore, at least.

Really?

Really. I'll think about it.

Of course, take all the time you like.

Well, I better go back inside.

Thanks for coming over.

Well, hey, maybe I can go in with you. I mean, maybe there's something I can do

to help.

I don't think so.

Well, now that I know what's really going on, you can talk to me, you know.

mean, you can call me if you need to talk.

I will.

Good night.

Good night.

Vincent just stopped by.

Oh.

Is everything okay?

I just feel like taking a ride.

It's kind of late.

I know.

Well, do you want me to go with you?

No, I feel like being by myself.

Is there something wrong?

You could probably answer that question better than I can.

and thank you for calling me back.

It looks like things are getting complicated like they do when people

Yeah? Lucy thinks someone should call Carlos and warn him that we told your

parents they're having a baby since they're not having a baby.

Okay. Are you going to call him?

Me? Why not?

I kind of got my own problems to deal with.

What kind of problems?

Maybe we should just go home.

All right.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

No, I meant to your home.

What are we going to do at my home?

She doesn't want to hang out with us.

Get a girl your own age, all right? She's going to be devastated when she

out Vincent was out with somebody else.

You obviously don't know Ruthie that well. I'm sure she'll be fine.

Maybe, but, you know, maybe she needs somebody to talk to. The whole thing

Mary, it's... Wow.

It's terrible.

Have you ever even met Mary? No, but still, I feel for all the Camdens.

I mean, I went through a divorce with my parents, and it's not pretty.

Maybe since I have some experience with that, I can help in some way. If only to

be sympathetic.

Mr. and Mrs. Camden don't even know there's a problem.

Well, I don't think it'll take them too long to find out. You told me.

Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

Yeah, maybe.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Kevin's talking to Simon.

You know, maybe we should just tell Mom and Dad.

Then Mom wouldn't fly all the way to New York just to find out we're all lying.

Go ahead.

By myself?

Well, you're the one who thinks we should tell them.

What do you think?

I think we should just let Mom go. I mean, maybe Carlos wants to talk to Mom.

Maybe that's what he wanted to do when he called her today.

She called him.

You know, none of this would have happened if Mary had just told them. I

but no one ever tells anyone anything that's this bad, especially not from us,

especially not to them. I just can't believe that Mary actually thinks that

can take time off from her marriage, from her child. And I can't believe that

just because I tried to talk her out of it, she won't even call me.

Can I come in? Sure.

He knows.

I told him.

I told him about Mary, and I told him how we all lied.

And apparently, he told Vincent and Mac.

I apologize.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I wasn't thinking.

It's okay. I just hope that they don't say anything to anyone who will say

something to Mom and Dad before they know.

You heard anything from Vincent?

Yeah, I heard he was out on a date. But I heard it from him, which doesn't make

it so bad.

And it's not a big deal.

I know he still likes me.

Hi.

Savannah needs you.

Have you talked to Simon?

Good night.

Go away.

It's me, Simon.

I better be going.

Well, great seeing you, Daddy.

Great surprise.

Yeah.

Had to be up here for that family.

You're really dedicated driving this far that late at night.

A minister's got to do what a minister's got to do.

A student's got to do what a student's got to do, too.

Study. Yeah, I'm so happy that...

You were in on a Saturday night and studying, no less. I'm impressed. I

you might be out on a date, or in on a date.

In on a date?

Yeah. That's why you drove up here, to see if I was in on a date?

No. There was that family that needed me.

How did you say you knew that family again?

Just people.

People I know.

Well, speaking of people you know, have you talked to Matt?

I have, actually.

He left his cell phone at the house, and he called today, and he wanted me to

retrieve his messages for him. He's expecting some important call, some

You know that I had called, Matt.

I had a problem with calculus.

Just wanted to see if you could help me out.

So you're taking calculus?

Yeah, I was. I did.

I'm going to have to drop the class anyway. It's no big deal.

But what did you say was wrong with that family again?

Wedding.

A sudden wedding.

Well, like the kind that you could have had yourself.

The bride was about to deliver and she wanted to get married first.

Quite a coincidence, you know?

I mean, her being in the same little town that I go to school in. Yeah, it

You know, Dad, I just... I can't help but thinking that you're lying to me for

some reason.

Oh, come on.

Me? Lying?

A minister?

Why would I lie? Why would I drive all the way up here to lie to you?

Oh, wait.

Because you're lying to me and your mother, and I think you've got all your

brothers and sisters involved in it, and I can't take it anymore. What kind of

trouble have you got yourself into?

Simon, what is it this time?

Did you make up that whole thing about Mary last week just to get yourself off

the hook? Because I know Mary. I don't think she'd hide a pregnancy from us.

Actually, Dad, Um, I did make up that whole thing last week.

But to get Mary off the hook, I realized that we can't really protect her

anymore.

I called Matt, and I told him that I was in trouble because I heard Mom was

flying to New York.

Yeah.

I know we shouldn't have lied, but we didn't know what to tell Mom, so...

I'm sorry for leaving this on your machine, but hey, you didn't pick up,

wanted you to know what we told them and how sorry we are about everything. So

if you get a chance tomorrow, call me before Mom gets there so we can talk.

So when is Simon going to find out if his girlfriend passed along a little

problem to him?

They had safe sex, so he should be fine. But Monday he'll find out for sure.

We have to tell Dad.

No, I don't think we have to tell Dad that Simon could have a sexually

transmitted disease.

I think that's personal business that Simon should take care of on his own.

He only called me because he couldn't get Matt and he was in a panic.

Believe me, he's fine.

And you would know because?

Because I would know.

Everyone should know the facts, Luce, especially if they're having sex.

And what are the facts?

The condom was involved.

Well, if this doesn't scare him into not having sex again, I'd... It will for a

while, but then he'll go out and do it again.

Guys his age and women his age think they're invincible.

He makes me so crazy.

Well, Simon's not like guys his age. He's a lot smarter than that. No, he's

Luz. I wish you were smarter, but he's not.

Well, what are we going to do?

I imagine you'll pray for him, and even if that works, next time I see him, I'll

sit him down and really talk to him man to man.

It's like I keep telling you, your parents need backup.

Which reminds me, you better let me talk to Ruthie again.

Do you have any eights?

Go fish.

Don't you know how to play poker?

Yeah, but I don't want to take all your money.

This is much safer.

You don't know how to play poker. Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

I think I heard something.

Maybe it's your dad.

Yeah, but he knows his way around the backyard.

I thought you'd be in here.

I went up to the garage apartment, but nobody was there, and I saw the lights

on. Come on in. I was just getting ready to go to bed, but you and Martin can

play cards as long as you like.

Oh, I heard about what happened with Mary, and I just want to say if you ever

need anybody to talk to, you know, I come from divorce.

I think they're a long way from getting a divorce.

At least I hope so.

I think Mary's just taking one of her little hiatuses from reality.

Look, I don't think that either of these guys think of you as a sister, and I

think they both like you.

I know that, Vincent.

Were you just hanging out in the backyard to see what time Martin went

No, I saw him going down the street as I was driving up the street, and, yeah, I

came back and hung around outside.

It's after 11 o 'clock. Who'd be calling?

Who's on the phone?

Is it Carlos?

Simon? So no one picked up the phone?

The lights are out in Mom's room. She's already asleep. Maybe someone called and

hung up.

I'm so happy that you're all here together.

Who called? Is everything okay?

Yeah, that was your dad. And he took a little trip up to see Simon, and they

talked, and everything's fine.

And he said if I'd make waffles, he'd love it if we'd all have waffles

It's something we used to do when the kids were younger, and Matt and Mary and

Lucy would come home late from dating.

Anyone want a waffle?

Sure.

It's late.

It's never too late for waffles.

Well, surely you don't want to make waffles. I mean, you have to get on a

tomorrow and go to New York.

Not until 3 in the afternoon.

Yeah, but we've got to get up and go to church tomorrow.

Maybe we should just go to bed.

No, I don't think so.

Your father wants everyone to be right here when he gets home.

I just have to call my mom.

Maybe you should just go home.

No, I don't think so.

Not as long as you and Martin are staying.

I didn't know you left me a message, Simon.

Well, I had, and now Dad knows.

Look, from what you told me about the precautions you took, I think it's all

going to be okay.

But now you get to go in and get tested and wait for the results and go through

the miserable consequences of being involved with somebody you don't even

and having casual sex.

How many times do I have to tell you? You're really not ready for that kind of

relationship. Thank you. Thank you for the lecture. But when I said Dad knows,

didn't mean that he knows about me.

He knows about Mary. I told Dad about Mary.

What?

Why'd you do that?

And if you were going to do that, why didn't you do it last week before we all

lied? Because he picked up my message.

I had to tell him why I told you I was in trouble. I told him it was because

was flying to New York to see Mary and Carlos and the baby.

Okay.

Last week, you made up this big lie to protect Mary because you thought it was

wrong for us to let Mom and Dad in on her little secret. And now this week,

don't care about protecting Mary. You just care about protecting yourself.

So you told them the truth?

Yes, I told them the truth. But not about yourself.

That's not it. We're just leaving.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm so happy everybody waited up for me. And I made waffles.

Good.

Waffles.

Go so well with the truth.

Well, I guess there's no need to go to New York.

I'll call Carlos in the morning and tell him how sorry I am this happened and

that you all lied to us.

I left him a message. He knows about the lie. He just doesn't know you know the

truth. He could have told you himself if he even knows.

He does know, right?

Mary has told him that she's not just temporarily based in another city.

I think we'll just let Mary tell him. Even though we know otherwise?

Are you sure that she's taking a break from her marriage? You sure Mary isn't

just temporarily relocating so that she can, I don't know, get a promotion or

some new training?

We're sure.

Well, she certainly needs to tell her husband.

Well, we don't know if she did or she didn't. Surely she did. I think we need

talk to Mary.

Good luck.

She hasn't been returning our phone calls.

So, Simon?

Yeah? He just told you about Mary?

Just. I think what Lucy meant was, did he know anything else, you know, about

Carlos or anything?

Has he talked to him?

He didn't say.

Well, we better be getting to bed.

I better be getting to bed, too.

Yeah.

Mary can't do this. She has a wonderful husband and a beautiful baby.

I know.

And I know she loves him.

She'll come around.

It's probably not as serious as we think.

We had a lot of arguments, but you never left.

Well, I did, but never with the intention of leaving forever.

I did take a few vacations from you and the family. Every mom needs to do that

to have some time on her own.

I really need to talk to her to reassure her.

But you can't talk to her, and I don't think we should talk to Carlos, at least

not yet.

No, we should give them some time alone.

Unless Mary calls.

If she calls, I'm saying something to her. It's a deal.

If she calls and you're talking to her, find me. I want to talk to her.

What are you going to...

say to carlos since you already told him you're coming i'll tell him i don't

know i'll i guess i'll tell him that i i changed my mind and i'll

i'll try to come back in a couple of months and if a couple months go by and

nothing changes and we still haven't heard from mary then i think you and i

should go and talk to carlos face to face

Oh, hi, Simon.

I was just about to walk downstairs.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry about everything, and I'm sorry I didn't get

and drive down there so I could hear your sermon.

Well, maybe next Sunday.

Maybe you can come home next Sunday.

Come home Friday night and spend an entire lecture -free weekend.

I think I will, Dad.

You okay? Yeah.

Look, I know they're waiting for you, so I'm not going to keep you. I'll let you

go. But I might call you later.

When you're at the house, okay?

Look, you know how this works. If I'm not down there when they finish the

hymn, they'll just sing another one.

Tell me what's on your mind.

Okay.

I have to do this. I have to tell you what's going on with me. Because even

though I already talked to Matt, and Matt said everything's going to be fine,

have to talk to you.

Look, I'm sure your brother knows what he's talking about.

Whatever it is, it's going to be fine, because...

I love you, Simon.

I'm your father.

No matter what you do, I'll always love you.
