Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,899 --> 00:00:03,899
What's the emergency?
2
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:07,520
He won't say that he wants to tell both
of us and Kimberly, but he just shows up
3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,780
unannounced something's up.
4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,640
Well, Lydia, what a surprise.
5
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:18,820
Okay, he's here. Tell him.
6
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:22,940
Don't make me rush into it, okay? This
could be a tough conversation, honey.
7
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:25,020
Are you dying?
8
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:28,780
Could you at least look a little less
hopeful when asking me something like
9
00:00:28,780 --> 00:00:30,000
that? Lydia.
10
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:31,479
Are you okay?
11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,480
I'm fine.
12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,420
My health is fine.
13
00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:36,820
With one exception.
14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,140
I can't get pregnant.
15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,400
Do you want to get pregnant?
16
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:45,640
I've been trying for three years.
17
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:50,640
And after a zillion fertility experts, I
won't bore you with medical diagnoses,
18
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,060
but basically I have this thing called
chromosomal deletion.
19
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:56,360
What are we talking about?
20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,840
I am talking about the only way I can
get pregnant is to find a man with a
21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,360
unique gene segment to make up for my
deficiency.
22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,560
I can only conceive with one in a
hundred thousand men.
23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,480
And how many have you tried so far?
24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,020
Lydia, go on.
25
00:01:13,820 --> 00:01:14,820
Anyway.
26
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:21,380
Obviously, Jimmy, by some stroke of
fate, you are one in a hundred thousand.
27
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:25,900
You've got to be kidding. I know it's a
completely outrageous request.
28
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,660
Me? You want Jimmy to father your child?
29
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:33,680
Yes. And it would be my child. I would,
of course, assume all responsibility,
30
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:35,220
financial and otherwise.
31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,360
Basically, I just want, you know, want
your sperm.
32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,980
Well, then, by all means. Jimmy, go on.
Give her a court.
33
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:47,740
Jill.
34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,800
You come into my house and you ask my
husband to impregnate you? I know the
35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,600
absurdity of this. I know the potential
it has to disrupt this family.
36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,860
Then why do it?
37
00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:02,260
Because I'm desperate.
38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Jimmy.
39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,000
It's not as if you have to do anything.
40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,580
What, you think that's funny?
41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,960
No.
42
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:16,740
Really? I mean, really. You wouldn't
have to do anything. I've already got
43
00:02:16,740 --> 00:02:21,080
sperm. Excuse me? When we first got
married, there was a mumps scare. You
44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,980
remember? And you had never got them.
And since they can make adult men
45
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:27,880
we made a little deposit in a sperm
bank, just in case.
46
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:31,300
So really, you don't have to do
anything.
47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,380
Except say it's okay.
48
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:37,860
You have to think about it?
49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Jill, I want you both.
50
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:43,730
To think about it. And if the answer's
no, then the answer's no. But at least
51
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:45,530
show me the courtesy of considering it.
52
00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:49,170
It wasn't easy for me to come in and ask
this.
53
00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:52,789
Wait a minute.
54
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:53,790
Where are you going?
55
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:55,390
Upstairs.
56
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:57,150
I want you to discuss it.
57
00:04:03,149 --> 00:04:07,490
Well, there's nothing really to discuss
here. I mean, obviously, we wouldn't
58
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:11,170
consider this for a second. Not for a
second. I can't believe that she would
59
00:04:11,170 --> 00:04:15,790
have the nerve to walk in here and ask
to borrow sperm like a cup of sugar. Can
60
00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:17,790
you? No, I can't. Can you, Kimberly?
61
00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:20,670
Well, I guess not.
62
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:27,010
Kimberly, you can't possibly be
entertaining the notion you couldn't be.
63
00:04:27,610 --> 00:04:31,320
I know, there's a... a thousand reasons
not to do it, I guess I just can't shake
64
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,300
the one reason to do it. To bring Lydia
joy.
65
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,000
Honey, I am too old to be a father
again.
66
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Well, from what she said, she'd assume
all the parenting, you wouldn't have to
67
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,279
be the father.
68
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,440
I'm having a lot of trouble with you
supporting this. I really am.
69
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,680
I'm not supporting it, really. I'm not.
70
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,220
It's just I'm saying I can see it from
her side, too.
71
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,200
It's not going to happen. No way.
72
00:04:54,980 --> 00:04:56,840
Fine. It's your decision.
73
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:27,530
I think they're ready for you.
74
00:05:28,850 --> 00:05:30,290
And I think I know the answer.
75
00:05:31,910 --> 00:05:32,990
Are you surprised?
76
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:34,290
No.
77
00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:36,250
I guess I hoped I would be.
78
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:41,070
So, unanimous decision?
79
00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:44,990
Actually, two to nothing and one
abstention.
80
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:53,110
Well, it's sensible. I guess it would
have upset Matthew and Zach anyway,
81
00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:56,530
I expected it.
82
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:03,950
Matthew, in fact, and me, I think we
could have handled it.
83
00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:08,170
But Mom and Dad, that's just something
different.
84
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:14,850
Look, it's not that we are not
sympathetic. It's just that it's... This
85
00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:16,530
wreak havoc on our family, Lydia.
86
00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:22,930
Jill, you would never hear from me. I
promise you, we would not disrupt
87
00:06:22,930 --> 00:06:24,410
You are my husband's ex -wife.
88
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:31,910
I'm not going to lie to you. This...
This would be a little tough for me to
89
00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:32,910
take.
90
00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:34,070
I know that.
91
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:37,030
Like I said, I knew all of this before
coming to ask.
92
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,110
I just... I don't know... I'm sorry. The
answer is no.
93
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:45,830
What?
94
00:06:46,450 --> 00:06:47,670
Why are you looking like that?
95
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:54,530
Uh... I'm sorry, but... Uh...
96
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,220
The answer is not no.
97
00:06:57,460 --> 00:07:02,140
What? This is just too important, and I
do not mean to disrupt you. You can't do
98
00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:04,640
this, Lydia. You can't do it without
Jimmy's consent.
99
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:06,140
Actually, I can.
100
00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:11,600
The sperm is mine. It was property of
the marriage, and it goes to me, so... I
101
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,600
can't.
102
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Are you crazy?
103
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,100
Maybe.
104
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,860
Look, you guys, when I came here, I
fully expected to go along with whatever
105
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:23,320
decided, but I just can't.
106
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,140
And Kimberly told me that she and the
boys could handle it, so why can't the
107
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:29,180
of you handle it? Because we can't,
Lydia.
108
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,460
Well, that's unfortunate, but... I am
going to have a baby.
109
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,640
I'm going to have a baby.
110
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
I'm the district attorney. I can't help
you.
111
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,200
There's got to be a law.
112
00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:55,070
She can just kidnap my sperm?
113
00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:57,670
It's considered property. She's not
committing a crime.
114
00:07:57,910 --> 00:08:00,690
But you could still represent us. John,
you've done civil cases before.
115
00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:02,850
You were involved with the cow
pregnancies.
116
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:07,190
And as a matter of public policy, the
same principle is at stake here.
117
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:11,830
This woman is using technology to force
Jimmy into fatherhood.
118
00:08:12,190 --> 00:08:15,750
No, I'm not saying you don't have a
case. I'm saying hire a civil lawyer.
119
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:16,990
I want you.
120
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:18,270
Why?
121
00:08:18,530 --> 00:08:22,030
Because this case is important to me,
and there's no lawyer Henry Bone
122
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,480
More than you.
123
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:25,900
This does affect public policy.
124
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,660
You've gone in this ring before. Why
won't you go in with me?
125
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,140
What are you looking for?
126
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,799
Simply a restraining order.
127
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,120
In joining Lydia Brock from using the
sperm to impregnate herself.
128
00:08:37,460 --> 00:08:39,780
Well, I'm not sure I have any
jurisdiction over the sperm.
129
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:42,799
It's in a Milwaukee facility, subject to
your state order.
130
00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:47,100
Certainly keeping with public policy.
Don't tell me you started without me. My
131
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:48,280
feelings are very hurt.
132
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:50,140
What do you want?
133
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:53,910
Douglas Wambo representing the ultimate
ex -wife, Your Honor.
134
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:59,350
The frozen vials were part of the estate
that went to Mrs. Brock. The law
135
00:08:59,350 --> 00:09:04,390
protects an individual's right not to
procreate. The law is not absolute.
136
00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:05,990
It's very muddy.
137
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:11,490
Maybe you can make another of your
horrible rulings, Henry, to help send
138
00:09:11,490 --> 00:09:12,890
and me back to the Supreme Court.
139
00:09:13,170 --> 00:09:13,949
Shut up.
140
00:09:13,950 --> 00:09:16,190
There we go. It's official.
141
00:09:16,950 --> 00:09:19,090
I happen to know the law on this judge.
142
00:09:19,530 --> 00:09:21,750
I looked it up while trying to save the
pregnant cows.
143
00:09:22,050 --> 00:09:25,510
Now you're supposed to balance the
competing interests of the parents.
144
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:27,230
I know what I'm supposed to do, thank
you.
145
00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:28,950
Just trying to help.
146
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:32,890
In grammar school, my nickname then was
the little helper.
147
00:09:33,170 --> 00:09:36,410
Would you please shut up? If it will
help.
148
00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:37,670
All right.
149
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:40,090
Mr. Wombau is correct on the legal
standard.
150
00:09:40,670 --> 00:09:44,890
In the absence of a written agreement, I
must balance the interests of each
151
00:09:44,890 --> 00:09:47,550
potential parent in determining what to
do with the sperm.
152
00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:52,470
That means, joy of all joys, we get to
have a hearing.
153
00:09:53,130 --> 00:09:55,530
Jimmy, you'll take the stand first.
154
00:09:56,710 --> 00:10:00,250
And then, Mr. Wombau, we'll put your
client in the chair.
155
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,230
Three o 'clock this afternoon.
156
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:05,230
Until then, everybody get out.
157
00:10:06,410 --> 00:10:08,650
The little helper strikes again.
158
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:14,450
I do not believe this.
159
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,260
I have to testify in a court of law to
stop my firm from having a life of its
160
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:22,100
own? Yes, and do not talk about
financial hardship.
161
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:24,660
I actually stripped you of that by
assuming responsibility.
162
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Your whole argument lies in emotion.
163
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:28,980
How can this be happening?
164
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:31,020
Can we talk?
165
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Lydia went to Wamba on her own.
166
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:40,060
I was just there as his assistant.
167
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,860
Then disqualify yourself.
168
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,640
You want me to do that?
169
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,800
Yeah.
170
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,840
Okay.
171
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,860
You know, she's my biological mother,
and I do happen to love her.
172
00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:58,780
Let's not forget that.
173
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:10,020
Wait just a
174
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:11,020
second.
175
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:13,140
Lydia wants... Dad's Mr.
176
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:17,120
Seed to put in her Mrs. Egg so she can
make a baby?
177
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,000
Yes, and it's probably going to be in
the paper, so I wanted you to hear about
178
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
it from me first.
179
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:24,000
And you've got to go to court to prevent
it?
180
00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:24,719
Mm -hmm.
181
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,360
Daddy's with Mr. Littleton right now,
preparing his testimony.
182
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,280
What if you lose?
183
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:31,600
How does he give her Mr.
184
00:11:31,860 --> 00:11:32,860
Seed?
185
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,180
Well, um, she already has Mr. Seed.
186
00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:38,880
She's kept it in a freezer.
187
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,940
How did she get it?
188
00:11:43,010 --> 00:11:47,990
Well, he, um... No, she...
189
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:53,990
I
190
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:57,950
have a family.
191
00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:02,710
I have a daughter and I have two sons.
How could this not have an enormous
192
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:03,710
emotional impact?
193
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:06,050
Even if she assumes full parental
responsibility?
194
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:11,490
If it is my child, it is my child.
Nothing to do with laws or contracts.
195
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,160
She's talking about my flesh and blood
here. I must have a choice.
196
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:18,140
Is choice important?
197
00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:21,280
A lot of people are having kids they
didn't plan on having.
198
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,900
She's forcing me into fatherhood.
199
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,360
It's an emotional thing, I know.
200
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,700
But suppose that we're okay with Zach,
Matthew, and Kimberly.
201
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,240
Would that make a difference?
202
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:37,760
Maybe I should subpoena them and see
what they think. No, I don't care what
203
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,780
think. I have rights.
204
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,570
I choose not... To father her child.
205
00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:44,230
I choose not to.
206
00:12:44,810 --> 00:12:46,730
It should be as simple as that.
207
00:12:49,330 --> 00:12:51,670
I do not wish to be a father.
208
00:12:52,490 --> 00:12:54,190
He will not be the father.
209
00:12:54,630 --> 00:12:58,810
The father is the person who raises the
child, and it will not be him.
210
00:12:59,070 --> 00:13:01,250
But it will be his heritage, Ms. Brock.
211
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:05,310
Yes, I know that, and I am sympathetic
to the fact that this may trouble him.
212
00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:07,550
You're talking about an imposition.
213
00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:09,630
An emotional imposition.
214
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:15,800
Period. And I am talking about my right
to bear a child. And that is far, far
215
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,020
more fundamental.
216
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:29,900
Part of me agrees with her.
217
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:31,260
What?
218
00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:36,560
Jimmy, fertility, it goes right to the
core of a woman. You have no idea.
219
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,020
That doesn't mean that I... Look, women
have the right to get abortions. They
220
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:47,620
don't have to have children if they
don't want.
221
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,680
Why shouldn't men get the same rights?
222
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:50,980
They should.
223
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:58,180
I'm not arguing with you on principle.
I'm just saying, right or wrong, if
224
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:03,380
I couldn't have a baby, I'd feel... I
don't know, like I wasn't complete.
225
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,640
Why?
226
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:10,180
I know it's not the feminist thing to
say, but that's how I'd feel inside.
227
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,080
You actually think I should let her do
it?
228
00:14:14,660 --> 00:14:15,660
I don't know.
229
00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:20,100
But let me ask you something on
principle.
230
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,800
Okay.
231
00:14:22,340 --> 00:14:26,660
You would never donate sperm to help an
infertile couple?
232
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,220
You'd never consider that?
233
00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:30,820
That's different.
234
00:14:31,260 --> 00:14:32,260
Why?
235
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:36,120
You just don't want Lydia to get it.
236
00:14:36,950 --> 00:14:41,010
That's the real issue. Even if that was
true, Max, so what? That's my right. If
237
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:44,570
I don't want a particular woman
inseminated by me, I don't have to have
238
00:14:44,570 --> 00:14:45,570
to say no.
239
00:14:47,570 --> 00:14:50,870
I'm just asking, do you really need to
say no?
240
00:14:54,770 --> 00:15:01,710
I don't appreciate your representing
Lydia.
241
00:15:01,990 --> 00:15:03,810
I wasn't going to, Jill.
242
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:05,150
But then...
243
00:15:05,740 --> 00:15:06,760
I had no choice.
244
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,580
She gave me a retainer.
245
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,980
I consider you my friend.
246
00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:12,960
Your helping her is a betrayal.
247
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:14,580
She wants a baby.
248
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,960
I know it makes you insecure.
249
00:15:17,860 --> 00:15:19,160
I understand that.
250
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,000
It's her only chance, Jill, to have a
baby. Her only chance.
251
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,080
Hi, Mom.
252
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,840
Oh, hi. What are you guys doing here?
253
00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:33,740
We came to see if we're going to get a
new half -brother. Oh, please, go home.
254
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:35,020
This affects us.
255
00:15:35,470 --> 00:15:39,070
Mr. Wambaugh says it could screw up
probate. The new kid can inherit part of
256
00:15:39,070 --> 00:15:40,070
your estate.
257
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:41,830
He asked.
258
00:15:42,070 --> 00:15:43,550
I was stuck for an answer.
259
00:15:43,970 --> 00:15:45,930
And you know how much I hate dead air.
260
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:53,750
Though there is no precedent on semen,
the courts have carved out the rules for
261
00:15:53,750 --> 00:15:54,750
frozen embryos.
262
00:15:55,450 --> 00:15:59,950
Basically, if one party chooses not to
procreate, that's the end of it.
263
00:16:00,770 --> 00:16:03,910
But the veto power is not absolute.
264
00:16:05,070 --> 00:16:11,370
If no other reasonable alternative
exists for the woman to get pregnant,
265
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:18,010
the presumption goes to her. The medical
evidence here is uncontroverted.
266
00:16:18,650 --> 00:16:25,350
She's basically infertile, with
exception of a rare genetic match,
267
00:16:25,570 --> 00:16:27,770
which Jimmy Brock happens to be.
268
00:16:28,970 --> 00:16:32,490
In balancing the competing interests...
269
00:16:33,070 --> 00:16:39,030
of both potential parents, the law sides
with Lydia Brock
270
00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:42,430
getting custody of Jimmy Brock's
heritage.
271
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:46,230
But you know, I don't always follow the
law.
272
00:16:47,450 --> 00:16:49,670
Sometimes my rulings go the other way.
273
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:54,650
Sometimes I refuse to make any ruling.
274
00:16:55,750 --> 00:16:56,750
Period.
275
00:16:58,730 --> 00:17:01,170
And that's what I'm going to do here.
276
00:17:01,630 --> 00:17:03,050
What are you talking about, Judge?
277
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:05,150
You want to know what I'm talking about?
278
00:17:06,349 --> 00:17:11,010
Last week, a 13 -year -old was in here
trying to divorce his father.
279
00:17:11,890 --> 00:17:16,310
Before that, we got couples having
babies with cows.
280
00:17:17,430 --> 00:17:19,730
Today, a fight over sperm.
281
00:17:21,210 --> 00:17:22,609
That's what I'm talking about.
282
00:17:23,569 --> 00:17:26,150
I don't know what the hell has happened
to the American family.
283
00:17:27,869 --> 00:17:29,730
But I know one thing for sure.
284
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:36,380
Everybody's running to the courts too
damn fast to settle domestic situations
285
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:38,960
which should be resolved in the home.
286
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,420
Did you people even try to work on this?
287
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,200
This is a confidential matter, for God's
sake.
288
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:52,340
You're talking about your fertility,
your sperm.
289
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,460
This is sacred stuff, damn it.
290
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,840
And this dispute isn't even a day old
before you go running to a court for
291
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,840
resolution.
292
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,660
Well, I'm sick of it.
293
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:10,080
I'm sick of courts legislating family
life.
294
00:18:11,180 --> 00:18:18,160
I'm sick of being forced to do it
because parents and children and spouses
295
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720
too damn lazy to put in the time.
296
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,420
Well, guess what?
297
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Sheriff Brock,
298
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:34,200
Dr. Brock, Lydia Brock, you are going to
put in the time.
299
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,140
I hereby sentence the three of you to
house arrest.
300
00:18:39,940 --> 00:18:41,580
We'll use your house, Sheriff.
301
00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:44,960
Your Honor, I'm not sure you can do
this.
302
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:46,380
Oh, but I can.
303
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,400
I'm going to continue this matter
without a finding for 24 hours.
304
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,940
In the meantime, I'm ordering you people
housebound.
305
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,240
And I'm ordering you to act like a
family and work on this.
306
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:10,200
And trust me, regardless of what the law
mandates, you can safely assume
307
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,000
you don't know what the hell I'll do.
308
00:19:14,140 --> 00:19:19,320
What you can assume is that it would be
better for you to work this out without
309
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,320
me.
310
00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:26,460
Deputy Stewart, take the prisoners to
their jail.
311
00:19:30,020 --> 00:19:32,700
Everybody else, get up.
312
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:44,380
Can he really do this?
313
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,320
He's the judge.
314
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Yeah.
315
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,260
This is humiliating. If he thinks
anything's going to come of this, he's
316
00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:56,360
senile to be a judge.
317
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,220
Well, at least you have an open mind.
318
00:19:58,750 --> 00:19:59,750
That's a good sign.
319
00:19:59,850 --> 00:20:04,010
Oh, I have no intention of being mature
about this one, Lydia. A woman comes
320
00:20:04,010 --> 00:20:06,150
into my house wanting my husband's
sperm?
321
00:20:06,810 --> 00:20:08,730
I'm not after the congeniality award.
322
00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:10,890
What's for supper? Supper's canceled.
323
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:13,230
Oh, sorry.
324
00:20:13,570 --> 00:20:16,910
Just a test. This is a two -way. If any
of you leave the house, this box will
325
00:20:16,910 --> 00:20:17,910
ring and I'll have to come back.
326
00:20:18,410 --> 00:20:20,410
Jill, could we go in and talk, please?
327
00:20:21,770 --> 00:20:24,990
Kimberly and Lydia, would you figure
something out for dinner? Thank you.
328
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:27,950
Now, honey...
329
00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:33,770
Maybe we should just let her do what she
wants. What? Well, the law is evidently
330
00:20:33,770 --> 00:20:34,509
on her side.
331
00:20:34,510 --> 00:20:36,830
Why put the kids through this? Jimmy,
Jimmy.
332
00:20:38,370 --> 00:20:40,910
Try to appreciate my resolve in this
matter.
333
00:20:42,270 --> 00:20:46,090
Your sperm is going nowhere near that
woman.
334
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:48,050
Am I being too subtle?
335
00:20:49,370 --> 00:20:50,710
No. Good.
336
00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:54,450
I'm going to go in the kitchen and see
if I can wrestle up something for her to
337
00:20:54,450 --> 00:20:55,450
choke on.
338
00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:19,330
started. We got a lot of ground to
cover. If you're finished, you can cover
339
00:21:19,330 --> 00:21:20,770
ground in your room. You too, Matthew.
340
00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:24,510
We want to be part of the discussion.
I'm sorry, but you can't be. Kimberly,
341
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:25,750
would you please take them upstairs?
342
00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:27,630
Wait a second.
343
00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:29,270
We're all part of this family.
344
00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:31,170
And a family is not a democracy.
345
00:21:31,450 --> 00:21:33,490
When you're 18, you can have a vote. Go.
346
00:21:33,770 --> 00:21:35,910
All right, come on, up to bed. Let's go.
Move it.
347
00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:37,990
It's got to be a grown -up discussion
here.
348
00:21:39,170 --> 00:21:41,750
Kimberly, you can come on back down and
get them settled.
349
00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:43,110
I'll never settle.
350
00:21:43,810 --> 00:21:44,810
Go.
351
00:21:44,860 --> 00:21:45,860
Go.
352
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,140
Well, Lydia, would you like to join us
in the living room for coffee?
353
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,280
I'd love to. Good. Let's go.
354
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,200
We're out of coffee.
355
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,580
All right. The judge has ordered us to
talk, so let's talk.
356
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:11,340
Why don't we start by opening you up...
by opening up with...
357
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,840
By addressing why you feel compelled to
have a baby at the age of 50. 48.
358
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,520
Right. I've already given you the
reason.
359
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,020
He is one in a hundred thousand, and
since I am 48, I really don't have the
360
00:22:25,020 --> 00:22:27,680
to sample the number of men you assume I
already have.
361
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,460
Look, both of you, if we are going to
get through this, let's drop the
362
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:35,600
Why is your name still Brock?
363
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,060
I beg your pardon? Your marriage ended
16 years ago.
364
00:22:41,630 --> 00:22:45,250
That's 120 dog years, and yet you still
use the name Brock.
365
00:22:45,810 --> 00:22:50,210
Gee, Jill, my last name was Brock when
you first met Jimmy, and that didn't
366
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:52,530
to carry any relevance for you then. Why
now?
367
00:22:52,930 --> 00:22:55,950
Do you know why you still use the name
Brock? So you can be connected to Jimmy.
368
00:22:56,310 --> 00:23:00,770
That's what this baby is all about,
keeping him. I keep the name Lydia Brock
369
00:23:00,770 --> 00:23:04,190
because my daughter's last name is
Brock. If you cared anything about
370
00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:05,490
you wouldn't be doing this.
371
00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:06,690
All right.
372
00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:08,630
Don't you ever.
373
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:10,980
accuse me of not loving Kimberly.
374
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,240
If anything, it's...
375
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:25,280
I
376
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:32,160
don't
377
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,160
have your life.
378
00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:35,080
I have my life.
379
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,120
And if I want to enrich it with a child,
that does not make me a monster, damn
380
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:42,120
you.
381
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:44,920
What about adopting?
382
00:23:46,660 --> 00:23:51,880
I thought about that, but I want... I
want to be pregnant.
383
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:55,280
And I can't explain why it makes a
difference.
384
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,160
And I know it's selfish.
385
00:24:01,260 --> 00:24:05,500
The best I've ever felt in my life is
when I was carrying you.
386
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:15,000
And next to your actual birth, I've
never known such a complete joy.
387
00:24:17,580 --> 00:24:19,240
And I need to feel it again.
388
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,320
I'm sorry.
389
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:27,240
These are strange times, Henry.
390
00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:28,940
How's that?
391
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,640
The traditional family is becoming
obsolete.
392
00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:36,740
Infertility is an epidemic.
393
00:24:37,550 --> 00:24:42,390
In this country, one in every six
couples are infertile. Did you know
394
00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:43,870
I'll bet you didn't.
395
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:46,470
And here's a bigger question. Do you
care?
396
00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:49,070
Not at the moment. But keep talking.
397
00:24:49,930 --> 00:24:52,230
If you say anything that's interesting,
I'll let you know.
398
00:24:52,910 --> 00:24:56,950
Science steps in with in vitro and now
embryo transplants.
399
00:24:57,510 --> 00:25:00,790
The law has to step in to regulate
surrogacy contracts.
400
00:25:01,690 --> 00:25:04,090
In the simple days, man met woman.
401
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,700
They got married, raised families.
402
00:25:07,780 --> 00:25:10,100
Those simple days are gone, Henry.
403
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,140
We're living in very strange times.
404
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Maybe I'm just old -fashioned.
405
00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:23,340
I'm not old -fashioned. I'm all for
single parenthood. I'm all for you
406
00:25:23,340 --> 00:25:25,640
pregnant, Lydia, but just not by him.
407
00:25:26,060 --> 00:25:28,800
Him or nothing. Then it's nothing,
Lydia.
408
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,260
It's perverse for you to even want a
child by him.
409
00:25:34,490 --> 00:25:36,370
Why? Why? She's asking me why.
410
00:25:37,730 --> 00:25:38,529
Tell her.
411
00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:40,930
No, you tell her, Jimmy, please. Go on,
tell her.
412
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:47,870
Well, of course it's wrong, but that it
is my child, that doesn't make it
413
00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:51,610
perverse. You want her to have your
baby? Of course not, but I just wouldn't
414
00:25:51,610 --> 00:25:55,810
so far as to say it's perverse. First
you say, go ahead, let her do it so that
415
00:25:55,810 --> 00:25:58,330
we don't submit the family to this
ordeal, and then you say...
416
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,960
think you're intrigued by the whole
thing. Oh, that's ridiculous.
417
00:26:04,780 --> 00:26:05,780
That's ridiculous.
418
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
I'm intrigued.
419
00:26:09,940 --> 00:26:14,420
I'm sorry, but the idea of a full
sibling, that makes me curious.
420
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,360
I mean, Matthew and Zach are only half
brothers, and sometimes I wonder... Zach
421
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:19,920
and Matthew are your brothers.
422
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,200
By blood, they're not full brothers.
423
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:27,760
And sometimes I wonder what it would be
like. Kimberly, I've never heard you say
424
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,760
anything like this before.
425
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,160
You've never asked.
426
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,880
I mean, can you imagine what it must
have been like for me as a nine -year
427
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,460
sitting at the breakfast table, looking
at them with their red hair, looking at
428
00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:39,460
you?
429
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,960
Or as a five -year -old watching you
breastfeed Matthew?
430
00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:47,720
I remember when you guys came home from
the hospital with him.
431
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,000
And you would look in the crib and hold
each other and say, look, we made a
432
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
baby.
433
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Did you ever think maybe that I didn't
feel like I belonged?
434
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,620
I've never heard this before.
435
00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:05,690
You've never said anything like this
before.
436
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:08,410
Mom, I was the child. You were the
parent.
437
00:27:09,070 --> 00:27:13,750
And really, the truth is, Dad, you never
really liked to talk about anything.
438
00:27:14,410 --> 00:27:18,290
And, Mom, you really never wanted to
discuss this particular subject.
439
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:23,090
You didn't even want to acknowledge the
existence of Lydia, let alone talk about
440
00:27:23,090 --> 00:27:24,090
her.
441
00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:25,710
I don't think that's true.
442
00:27:26,050 --> 00:27:27,050
It is true.
443
00:27:27,610 --> 00:27:30,810
The idea was that you were my mom, my
only mom.
444
00:27:32,189 --> 00:27:35,050
And dad's past life was erased like it
never happened.
445
00:27:37,250 --> 00:27:40,850
I mean, we've never even talked about
what it feels like to be adopted, which
446
00:27:40,850 --> 00:27:41,850
basically what I am.
447
00:27:43,630 --> 00:27:48,210
And you never wanted to talk about it
either because we couldn't face the fact
448
00:27:48,210 --> 00:27:49,210
that you gave me up.
449
00:27:51,490 --> 00:27:52,550
Which is why you did.
450
00:27:54,730 --> 00:27:57,030
I think we're getting a little off the
track here.
451
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:58,590
No, we're not.
452
00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:01,690
I never broached the subject.
453
00:28:03,950 --> 00:28:09,550
I was afraid to get into... how I could
just give you up.
454
00:28:11,170 --> 00:28:17,290
Maybe that's what's going on here. Maybe
you're seeking some kind of redemption
455
00:28:17,290 --> 00:28:18,770
for having given up Kimberly.
456
00:28:21,270 --> 00:28:22,950
I didn't even fight for you.
457
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:25,390
And I was your mother.
458
00:28:28,050 --> 00:28:29,890
Every night when I go to bed, I...
459
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:35,420
Pray that you weren't hurt You were
weren't you
460
00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:39,280
Yeah
461
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:46,500
Clocks
462
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:51,180
can't be turned back Henry biological or
otherwise I think you lost sight of
463
00:28:51,180 --> 00:28:52,920
that You know something Doug?
464
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,620
You've been sitting here for almost 90
minutes, and I haven't listened to a
465
00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:01,140
you said In fact, when I look away, I
can almost pretend you're not here.
466
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,580
That doesn't surprise me. Of course, you
do the same thing when you're on the
467
00:29:04,580 --> 00:29:08,680
bench. You like to pretend that things
are how they used to be.
468
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:10,180
And they're not.
469
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,360
Families are different, and problems are
different.
470
00:29:14,060 --> 00:29:18,380
The Brocks come to you with a problem of
the 90s that involves fertility and
471
00:29:18,380 --> 00:29:19,379
sperm banks.
472
00:29:19,380 --> 00:29:23,360
You sentence them to go home and be
Ozzie, Harriet, and Aunt Bea.
473
00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:28,000
The nuclear family isn't the same, and
you don't have a clue. And you do.
474
00:29:28,330 --> 00:29:30,190
I'm willing to admit maybe I don't.
475
00:29:30,510 --> 00:29:33,910
When was the last time we were on the
inside of a modern family conflict?
476
00:29:34,210 --> 00:29:37,190
And what do we know about how a family
should work?
477
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:45,770
Hey, hey, where are you going?
478
00:29:46,150 --> 00:29:49,770
Kevin Quinn's house. He said we could
sleep over. Oh, no, it's a school night.
479
00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:50,970
don't think... We don't want to stay
here.
480
00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:53,730
You think we can sleep listening to
this?
481
00:29:54,990 --> 00:29:56,030
You've been eavesdropping.
482
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,960
You think we could stay and not listen?
483
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,600
That's why we gotta go.
484
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,660
And when we come back, we hope you're
not here.
485
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,080
We hate you.
486
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:05,300
Zachary Brock.
487
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:07,200
Every time she comes, you fight.
488
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:08,920
I wish you'd die.
489
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:12,000
Zachary, that's my mother.
490
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Then go live with her.
491
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,180
We heard what you said, too.
492
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,100
You don't think we're your brothers.
493
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,740
I didn't say that.
494
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,040
Yes, you did. You said you wondered what
it'd be like to have a real brother.
495
00:30:24,260 --> 00:30:25,260
We heard you.
496
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,940
Loud and clear.
497
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,120
That's not what I meant.
498
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,960
Right. All right, upstairs to your room
now. Go on. We're going to kind of...
499
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,340
No, Matthew, you're going upstairs to
your room now.
500
00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:39,540
Go. When you close those doors, I don't
want you listening.
501
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Well, I hope you're happy.
502
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,520
And you, I hope you're very, very happy.
Jill, of course I'm not happy.
503
00:30:47,260 --> 00:30:51,420
Can't you get that? I've never raised a
child. I just want a family.
504
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:52,740
I don't care.
505
00:30:53,710 --> 00:30:55,330
I won't have you destroy mine.
506
00:30:56,910 --> 00:30:58,690
Jill, Kimberly, would you excuse us,
please?
507
00:31:05,510 --> 00:31:11,230
If you had that child, you think I could
just pretend it didn't belong to me?
508
00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:14,350
And I don't care about legal
responsibilities. I'm talking about
509
00:31:14,350 --> 00:31:18,230
responsibilities. How could I possibly
have a child and not participate?
510
00:31:20,170 --> 00:31:22,970
It's done all the time.
511
00:31:23,290 --> 00:31:24,290
Not by me.
512
00:31:24,370 --> 00:31:26,830
It worked for you that way, Lydia, but
not for me.
513
00:31:27,310 --> 00:31:31,330
I gave you Kimberly because I knew you
could give her the better home.
514
00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:32,650
And the next child.
515
00:31:33,390 --> 00:31:36,510
What if I felt I could provide the
better home again?
516
00:31:36,730 --> 00:31:37,930
I'd have to try, Lydia.
517
00:31:38,850 --> 00:31:42,510
The essence of being a parent is giving
a child the best life you can.
518
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:44,670
I've changed, Jimmy.
519
00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:47,910
I could be a good parent now.
520
00:31:49,650 --> 00:31:50,650
I really could.
521
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,740
We've all said things we regret. You
haven't said anything wrong. You
522
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,860
And neither have you. And believe it or
not, neither have you.
523
00:32:05,140 --> 00:32:09,020
Except maybe when you call the idea
perverse. And I'll concede it is
524
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,920
The only thing said to be regretted came
out of a ten -year -old who wished me
525
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,920
dead.
526
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Dead.
527
00:32:15,580 --> 00:32:16,740
He didn't mean that.
528
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,980
Well, partly he did. But you want to
know what's really perverse about all
529
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,140
You people here, you're my family.
530
00:32:26,250 --> 00:32:29,210
As ridiculous as that may sound, you're
all I've got.
531
00:32:30,370 --> 00:32:33,090
And I can't think of a better argument
for my desperation.
532
00:32:33,470 --> 00:32:34,470
Can either of you?
533
00:32:35,290 --> 00:32:41,510
And it's in the spirit of that
desperation of my wanting to make a
534
00:32:41,510 --> 00:32:44,550
home that I've come to yours.
535
00:32:45,810 --> 00:32:51,190
Look, Lydia, if we were to agree...
Jimmy! Things aren't always black and
536
00:32:51,310 --> 00:32:54,810
Jill. Truth is, we haven't even
considered her request.
537
00:32:55,450 --> 00:32:57,450
We're at least over that to consider it.
538
00:32:57,790 --> 00:32:59,630
Why don't you consider it?
539
00:33:04,050 --> 00:33:05,050
Excuse me?
540
00:33:20,210 --> 00:33:22,770
Why don't you just sleep with her,
Jimmy? You want to give her your sperm?
541
00:33:22,770 --> 00:33:26,710
her a fresh batch. That way we can all
be... Jill! How the hell can you
542
00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:30,830
it? How can you ask me to consider it?
You used to be married to her.
543
00:33:31,030 --> 00:33:33,210
Why does this upset you more than it
does me?
544
00:33:33,810 --> 00:33:36,730
It would be my flesh and blood. I'm the
one... Then don't do it, Jimmy.
545
00:33:37,290 --> 00:33:40,770
That would solve both of our problems.
Just say no!
546
00:33:47,230 --> 00:33:48,230
What's going on here?
547
00:33:49,450 --> 00:33:52,850
I mean, I understand all the practical
reasons against this, but there's
548
00:33:52,850 --> 00:33:54,350
something else going on here. What is
it?
549
00:33:55,510 --> 00:33:59,370
It's unnatural for an ex -wife to come
back and ask her spouse... Nobody's
550
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,670
arguing that. It's a preposterous thing
she's asking.
551
00:34:02,110 --> 00:34:03,790
There's no dispute there.
552
00:34:04,990 --> 00:34:10,090
But when you know you're right, you
don't get loud, and you certainly don't
553
00:34:10,090 --> 00:34:11,650
erratic. Right now, you are both.
554
00:34:13,710 --> 00:34:14,710
What is it?
555
00:34:20,060 --> 00:34:22,260
Jimmy, you have nothing in common with
that woman.
556
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,480
You don't have any shared interests.
557
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:27,659
There was no reason for you to marry
her. There was none whatsoever.
558
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,000
It was pure passion that brought you two
together.
559
00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:32,840
Do you think that I can't see that?
560
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:34,639
It was pure passion.
561
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,580
What are you getting at? What I'm
getting at is that I'm the sensible
562
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,100
I'm the one who would be a good mother,
who would provide a stable home.
563
00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:49,000
I don't doubt that you loved me then or
that you love me now, but I've always
564
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,880
felt that I... I'm the practical
compromise.
565
00:34:54,699 --> 00:34:57,780
But Lydia... Oh, Lydia.
566
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:02,560
Lydia's the foolish choice. The one made
out of passion.
567
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:05,300
The one made out of lust.
568
00:35:06,420 --> 00:35:08,820
The one that maybe I wish that I...
569
00:35:13,870 --> 00:35:18,110
Your sperm going into her, Jimmy, it's
brought a lot of my insecurities to the
570
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:19,110
surface, that's all.
571
00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:29,190
You think I don't have passion for you?
572
00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:38,950
I fell in love the first five minutes of
saying hello to you.
573
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,060
I risked my marriage, losing custody of
my daughter because of that passion.
574
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:48,780
You made me the most crazy I have ever
been.
575
00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:55,220
It's only in hindsight that marrying you
proved to be the most sensible thing I
576
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:57,060
have ever, ever done.
577
00:35:58,540 --> 00:36:02,780
We've been a husband and wife for 16
years.
578
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,720
When are you going to be sure it's going
to last?
579
00:36:13,580 --> 00:36:14,680
It's going to last, Jill.
580
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:24,620
I can't imagine life or love without
581
00:36:24,620 --> 00:36:25,620
you.
582
00:36:31,260 --> 00:36:35,180
What's going on? Well, he challenged me
to see the inside of a family fight. I
583
00:36:35,180 --> 00:36:36,780
thought it was a good idea.
584
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,520
Anybody been killed?
585
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,800
That's not funny.
586
00:36:40,140 --> 00:36:41,220
Where are the prisoners?
587
00:36:42,140 --> 00:36:45,440
My mother and father are in their
bedroom, and I'm not sure where Lydia
588
00:36:45,780 --> 00:36:47,160
Any progress been made?
589
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,700
Oh, yeah. Big progress.
590
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:54,920
Do you really want me dead?
591
00:37:03,540 --> 00:37:04,540
Zachary?
592
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,800
If you have a baby with my father, it'll
wreck... Things.
593
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:14,060
What will it wreck, honey?
594
00:37:15,060 --> 00:37:16,060
Things.
595
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,780
Kim won't love us as much.
596
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,800
Why would you say that?
597
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,400
Because then she'd have a real brother
or sister.
598
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,440
Matthew and I are just halves.
599
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,820
She wouldn't love us as much if she had
a real one.
600
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,340
That isn't true.
601
00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:37,340
I was talking about genetic sex, that's
all.
602
00:37:38,220 --> 00:37:39,780
You two are my real brothers.
603
00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:44,090
And nothing she could do could make me
love you less.
604
00:37:45,110 --> 00:37:47,550
We're not your full brothers, genetics
-wise.
605
00:37:48,610 --> 00:37:50,370
Well, genes don't matter that much.
606
00:37:51,050 --> 00:37:54,570
See, Lydia gave birth to me, but she's
not my mother.
607
00:37:56,330 --> 00:37:58,350
At least she hasn't been since I was
two.
608
00:37:59,690 --> 00:38:03,950
And that's what she's looking for here,
the chance to be a real full mother for
609
00:38:03,950 --> 00:38:04,950
the first time.
610
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:07,910
Right?
611
00:38:16,810 --> 00:38:20,150
What I don't get, though, is why it has
to be my father's sperm.
612
00:38:22,050 --> 00:38:23,670
Why do you need to get pregnant, even?
613
00:38:25,610 --> 00:38:28,290
You want to raise a child, right? That's
fine.
614
00:38:30,930 --> 00:38:33,130
But giving birth doesn't make you a
mother.
615
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:37,410
You should know that better than anyone.
616
00:38:43,790 --> 00:38:44,810
I don't hear anything.
617
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,440
You say everybody's fighting. How come I
don't hear anything? Maybe you're not
618
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,700
listening again. Shut up.
619
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:53,560
Anybody pregnant?
620
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:55,280
What are you doing here?
621
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:59,740
Henry wanted to see how real people
live. Boy, did he pick the wrong house.
622
00:39:00,060 --> 00:39:02,860
Will you please shut up? I break up at
night.
623
00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:04,540
What's going on?
624
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:07,460
Do I keep you under house arrest or did
you work it out?
625
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,720
Well, we didn't work anything out.
626
00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:11,640
She still wants his sperm.
627
00:39:11,980 --> 00:39:13,200
No, I don't.
628
00:39:14,410 --> 00:39:15,550
I've changed my mind.
629
00:39:16,450 --> 00:39:18,090
Why? Reasons.
630
00:39:18,910 --> 00:39:24,350
Two of them are upstairs getting ready
for bed. It, uh... It would be
631
00:39:24,350 --> 00:39:25,350
to them.
632
00:39:29,130 --> 00:39:30,130
Sorry.
633
00:39:34,070 --> 00:39:36,990
So, am I free to go? The case is over.
634
00:39:37,530 --> 00:39:38,530
You're free.
635
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:39,990
What do I...
636
00:39:41,230 --> 00:39:44,530
How do I get this thing off? Just go by
the station. Maxine will take it out for
637
00:39:44,530 --> 00:39:46,010
you. I'll call, let her know you're
coming.
638
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:47,470
Okay.
639
00:39:53,410 --> 00:39:54,430
Well, I'll be going.
640
00:39:56,290 --> 00:39:57,290
Bye,
641
00:39:58,150 --> 00:39:59,150
everyone.
642
00:40:00,730 --> 00:40:01,730
I'll walk you to your car.
643
00:40:04,570 --> 00:40:05,750
Is there anything to eat?
644
00:40:15,050 --> 00:40:16,050
You okay?
645
00:40:16,210 --> 00:40:20,810
Yeah. I'm sorry if that hurt, but my
brothers really needed to hear it. I
646
00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:22,830
I did too, I guess.
647
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:27,910
Lydia, why do you need to get pregnant?
648
00:40:30,410 --> 00:40:31,410
I'm not sure.
649
00:40:33,170 --> 00:40:34,210
Keep a secret?
650
00:40:36,410 --> 00:40:37,410
Always.
651
00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:39,790
You're going to college.
652
00:40:40,410 --> 00:40:41,410
What?
653
00:40:42,310 --> 00:40:43,630
Next fall, you'll leave the house.
654
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:46,480
What are you talking about?
655
00:40:46,940 --> 00:40:47,940
You're my daughter.
656
00:40:48,380 --> 00:40:49,660
You're becoming an adult.
657
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,660
And you'll leave this house.
658
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,920
And when you go, so goes my right to
barge into your father's life.
659
00:41:01,620 --> 00:41:02,760
Can you believe it?
660
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,740
Sixteen years later and I still can't
shake him.
661
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,280
Still in love with him.
662
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,200
That's what this is about?
663
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,920
Yeah.
664
00:41:21,220 --> 00:41:22,380
On some level.
665
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:27,660
I do want a baby, and I would love to
get pregnant, but part of me still...
666
00:41:27,660 --> 00:41:28,920
Yeah.
667
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:34,620
Yeah, I think that's... That's what's
going on here.
668
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,600
I'm sorry.
669
00:41:37,140 --> 00:41:41,700
Kimmy giving you up, that was partly
because I loved you so much.
670
00:41:43,620 --> 00:41:44,620
I know.
671
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:49,820
Yeah, well, I guess this is what happens
when you skip therapy to try to get
672
00:41:49,820 --> 00:41:50,860
your Christmas shopping done.
673
00:41:56,940 --> 00:42:01,480
Lydia, do you think it would be okay
if...
674
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,800
Sometimes I call you mom.
675
00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:08,240
