Original subtitles

Holy crap, Anita!

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I was trying to be quiet.

I didn't want to wake them.

It's okay.

I appreciate you staying late.

Yeah, of course.

Well, see you tomorrow!

Good night.

We could have been something special.

We could have been something beautiful.

We could have been a family.

We could have been a family.

Mrs. Brown?

Mrs. Brown?

I forgot my phone...

Mrs. Brown?

I was up first! I get to choose!

Nu-uh, I have to watch Nova for my report!

Oh no. They're up!

They're awake! They're awake!

Who'se awake?

The boys!

Quick, quick, quick.

What time --?

It's late. Just...

Okay, hurry!

Okay, okay.

Where's my shirt?

Wrong door, just... go!

Mom! Mom!

Love you.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Shhh...

Why does it always have to start so early?

Good morning.

Alright, now let's see if we can work this out without me

getting a headache before breakfast.

Who was up first?

I was up first.

Me, me! I was up first.

I get to choose what's on TV!

Coffee. Let's go get some coffee, we'll figure it out.

Hot, hot, hot!

Thanks Mom!

You're welcome.

Remember, guys when you get home from school today,

you're gonna have to be very well behaved because

I'm interviewing the nannies. Remember what we talked about?

Like Mary Poppins?

Yes, something like that.

She can fly?

I don't know, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

Hi! Good morning.

What're you doing here?

I was just uh...

driving by and I thought I'd come by and say hello!

Hello!

Good morning!

Yuck.

So guys, what's up for today?

School. What else?

School.

Mom's meeting Mary Poppins today.

The nanny search.

Right. Mary Poppins.

Your shirt is inside out.

It is!

Uhh...

Yeah, it's the new style guys.

I'm surprised you haven't started doing it in school yet.

You guys should do that later, not now

because we have ten minutes.

Go, go, upstairs.

Right now.

Thank you.

Listen.

I know you've got a lot going on and your parents are away.

Do you want some help with the boys today?

Uh... no. No, it's okay.

I just want to spend some good quality time with Max and Rex.

I feel like I'm abandoning them.

Honey, you're not abandoning them.

You're doing what's best for your children.

Right.

No, wait. I have something for you.

What?

To celebrate your third year.

A watch.

It's beautiful.

Three years of sobriety, babe.

That is...

That's huge!

You should be so proud of yourself.

Wear it.

Thank you.

Alright, I gotta go.

Have a good day.

You're the best.

Um... your shirt's still inside out honey.

Kids! Two minutes!

Gillian, these are mostly men.

Yeah.

You and Greg have getting serious now.

The last thing you need is some hot, young thing

prancing in and out of here.

Trust me.

Remember my first nanny became Roger's second wife.

What about Cori though? She's prettyl and she's a girl.

Yeah, well I don't have a man in my life anymore.

Wouldn't it be weird to have some strange guy walking around?

The nanny services do all the necessary background checks.

You'll adjust.

So um... a man nanny?

Is that what you... a man nanny?

Manny.

That's the scientifical term.

Man plus nanny.

Manny!

Alright uh...

Fine! Let's do it.

And here we go!

Let the interviews begin!

You're gonna love it!

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I think that kids prosper best when they teach us.

Ooh, let's see who's next.

I guess the last one wasn't so bad, I mean...

No. I will call for more names.

Maybe it's a sign.

Maybe I shouldn't go back to work.

No, don't be ridiculous.

This is a big decision.

We have to make sure it feels right.

Speaking of which, I have a shiatsu appointment.

I gotta go.

We'll find someone, I promise.

Don't worry.

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

No, that's okay.

It's more than okay.

You must be Mrs. Clark?

Well...

Hi, I'm Karen Clark.

And you are...

I'm Alex.

And I'm late, I gotta go.

Come in.

Thanks.

Wow. This is a lovely house.

So sorry, it's a mess.

No, don't apologize.

You're a working single mom with two boys.

It's completely understandable.

Oh, resume.

There you go.

Thank you.

Alex Smith?

Alex Smith, yeah.

Wow.

This is impressive.

Thanks.

So tell me Alex Smith,

what made you want to be a man... nanny?

Man... manny.

Manny, right.

Well, a number of reasons.

Family, to me, has always been really important.

I'm sure you feel the same way.

A lot of times we don't realize it until it's too late,

It's true.

Oh, and I'm saving up to start teacher training in the summer.

I just thought if you can use me where it allows you to have

more time with your boys, then use away, right?

That's right.

I'm yours.

Great, okay.

So two children...

Is that... is that Wonder World in that photo over there?

It is. That picture makes me so happy.

That was actually our last family

vacation before my husband passed.

My parents would take me there every year.

It was a family tradition.

Yeah, it's a fun place.

How um... how did he die? Your husband.

He had a heart attack.

Sorry to hear that.

Yes.

Reminds you how precious life is.

Sure does.

Hey! How was school?

Who is he?

He might be our Cori.

He's not a girl.

Duh.

I'm Alex.

This is Max and Rex.

These are my kids.

Nice to meet you both.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Here you go.

Good as new. Looks good!

So what do you guys like to do for fun?

Cartoons!

Videogames.

They are both great choices.

Maybe we'll get to play together sometime.

Can you fly?

Idiot.

Stop that!

I hate when you do that!

I'll be there as soon as I can. Thanks. Bye.

Alex, I'm sorry.

We're going to have to finish this another time.

I have to go to work, so um...

I've gotta find somebody to watch the kids.

Oh. Well, I could do it, if you need some one right now.

I mean I'm here.

No, I...

No, it's fine!

The boys have met me.

They didn't seem to hate me, right?

Um...

Seriously, it's fine, I've got nothing going on today and

we could just consider it a "trial run."

No expectations.

If things go well, we could talk further?

Um... okay Alex Smith.

Deal.

Okay!

I told you, you were going to feel better.

I do, I do.

Thank you so much.

Bye!

Good morning.

I'm home.

Oh my God!

Sorry, I didn't hear you come in.

Wow Alex, I don't even know what to say.

This is like a different house.

It hasn't been this clean in years!

I don't know what to say.

Oh, well it's fine.

I just thought you'd like to relax after work.

I just want to say, even if you decide not to go with me,

thank you very much for letting me watch your boys tonight.

Yeah, um... you're hired.

You have a job.

You don't have to do that.

Trust me, I do.

7:45 tomorrow morning, please.

Alright.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

Of course. Thank you.

See you tomorrow!

Bye.

Hey!

Hi, who are you?

I'm Greg. You must be Alex.

Right, Karen hired me to help with the boys.

Yeah, she told me.

Please, come on in Alex.

Perfect. Thanks.

Karen, Alex is here.

Hey Alex!

Hey, what's up, my man?

You guys ready to go?

I'd hate to get you to school late on my first day of duty.

Good morning!

You guys, go get your bags, you're going to be late.

Okay.

I see you two have met.

Yeah!

Good. Their pick up is 2:30.

Got it.

Oh, Karen, leave that.

I'll come back after drop off and take care of it.

That's why you hired me, right?

Right. Thank you.

Alright, boys, your chariot awaits!

Bye guys.

Real pleasure to meet you, Greg.

I'm sure I'll see you around.

You will.

Okay, alright.

Go, go, go.

See you guys, have a good day!

Bye!

Have a good day!

Thanks.

Bye hun.

Hey there, Maxi-pad!

Hey.

You avoiding me?

No, I'm just busy.

You sure?

Cause I really think you're avoiding me.

And that hurts my feelings.

You wouldn't want to hurt my feelings,

would you?

No.

Hey.

This looks cool.

Can I have it?

My Nana gave that to me.

And now you're giving it to me, right?

Sure.

Sweet.

Thanks.

[Bell You must be Ale.

I'm Cori, Gillian's nanny.

Gillian is Karen's best friend, so...

I guess we're gonna be seeing a lot of each other.

Oh.

Lucky me.

You're even cuter than Gillian said.

Excuse me?

We should set up a playdate.

How's later?

Oh... I don't...

The boys have homework.

I meant for us.

I'm sorry, what I meant to say was I can't.

I have a girlfriend so...

So?

Bring her along.

I'm game.

I'm kidding!

So is it serious?

Very.

She's the one.

Wow.

Good for you.

Personally, I think we're a little young to settle down.

How do you know what your favorite flavor is

if you haven't tried them all, right?

She cute?

She's beautiful.

She's perfect.

Aww. That's sweet.

What's her name?

Come on let's go! It's Cori!

Nice to meet you, Cori.

See you around, Alex.

Hi Cori!

Hi! How was school?

We learned about dinosaurs.

Hey guys!

Hey!

How was your day?

Good, I got a high score on Gate Jumper!

Ah, really?

Yup!

That's cool man!

Hop on in.

You gotta tell me about it.

See you tomorrow, Max.

Who's your friend?

Uh...

Just a kid from school.

Can we go now?

Please?

As you wish.

Hey, so why don't you tell me about this Greg guy?

Is he and your mom serious or what?

Hey buddy.

Wanna tell me what's going on?

Who was that kid after school?

Brett Blainesfeld.

Shut up!

Hey, don't yell at your brother!

He's trying to help you.

He's worried about you.

Tell me about this Brett.

What's the story, is he giving you trouble?

Sometimes.

Only every day, he's the biggest kid in class.

So he's a bully, huh?

You know, I've dealt with a few bullies in my time.

You wanna learn something that'll make him stop?

Now, in reality, most are cowards.

That's why they pick on kids they know won't fight back.

But you fight back, just once, they never bother you again.

Can I make him punch his own face?

As cool as that would be, it is not very effective.

But, what we do have going for us is the element of surprise.

This Brett kid, he doesn't expect you to fight back.

So time he comes at you, I want you

to make yourself a small target.

Like this.

See what I'm doing?

Okay? Nice and small.

Now, come at me like you're Brett.

I'll show you.

You see what I did?

Slip the back leg behind his thigh, and push.

You push his shoulder.

His momentum and gravity will take care of the rest.

Okay.

Now try it on me.

Whoa!

Ha ha ha!

Shut up, Rex!

We'll try it again.

Hey, and you, that's your brother here.

Don't laugh at him for making a mistake.

Now, try it again okay?

You're doing great.

But this time, commit. Really commit.

Instead of you thinking that you have to defend yourself,

think that you have to defend your mom from an abusive man.

I'm not saying that's Greg, I mean he doesn't, right?

Greg, hurt my mom?

No, never.

Okay, okay.

Then it's just a man, who's attacking her.

Now, when I approach, picture me falling down in your head.

Make it real.

Here we go.

Whoa!

Yeah!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!

Don't apologize. That was great.

How'd that feel?

Good.

Wanna do it again?

Yeah!

My turn! My turn!

I want to try!

Wow!

Alex, you scared me.

Sorry.

This is amazing!

I thought if it gives you a chance to have

a quick meal with the boys, it's worth it.

I hope you like it.

If I had known it was going to be this easy,

I would've hired someone many months ago.

Thanks, but it wouldn't have been me.

That's true.

Oh!

I have something for you.

You don't have to do that.

It's just a small thank you.

Your other one is kinda old and

raggedy and was getting a hole in the...

Wow. I love this.

You do?

Yeah!

I'm...

I'm sorry I just um...

I don't get many gifts.

No?

Your family's not big on Christmas, birthdays?

No, I lost them when I was young.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's just...

That's why family is so important to me.

You know, why it's so precious.

Of course.

You know, after a tragedy like that...

Um...

Oh.

Sorry...

Hi.

Hi, babe!

Oh, sorry, that's my cue.

Alex, thank you so much for everything today.

No, thank you so much for the thoughtful gift.

It really means a lot to me.

Of course.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night, Greg.

Good night, Alex.

Good night, Alex.

You bought him a backpack?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Don't you think it's a little early to be buying him gifts?

It's not gifts, he needed one.

Oh, okay.

What's going on here?

Nothing! I'm just... you bought him a backpack.

I'm sensing a little bit of jealousy.

No, no, no.

There's no jealousy here.

I just was making an observation, is all.

You are the only man in this house.

Thank you.

Come tell me about your day.

Okay.

Hey Max!

Now I'm really feeling like you're trying not to see me.

Leave me alone.

Hey, hey, hey!

What's the hurry?

You gonna be late for home ec?

Gonna go bake some cookies?

Just leave me alone!

Oh, so you think you can fight now?

I will if you don't stop.

Okay, Maxi-pad.

Let's do this.

Do it, Max!

Fight, fight, fight!

How do you like this?

Ow! Stop!

Teacher!

Teacher, teacher, teacher!

What?

There's no teacher.

I know. I just said that so he wouldn't kill you.

Hey guys, how was your day?

He got beat up, again.

What, that Brett kid?

Can we just go?

Wait a second.

Did you use the moves that I taught you?

No, he didn't do anything.

He just let Brett...

Shut up, Rex!

I got scared, okay?

Hey, it's okay.

Everybody gets scared.

I get scared all the time myself.

Really?

Yes! And that's okay.

It's what you do with that fear that matters.

You just have to channel it into something constructive.

Never let that fear control you, you understand?

Come on Mom! Let's just go.

Sometimes these things have a way of working themselves out.

Hey, thanks so much.

I'm sure my great aunt's doing fine.

The nurses are probably just exaggerating.

It's just not a proper place for the boys, you know?

I have no problem scratching your back,

just as long as you scratch mine later.

Jasper!

Jasper, come here boy!

Come here, let's go.

Jasper, come back!

Go get it!

Jasper, Jasper!

Come here boy!

Jasper?

Oh, you found my dog.

Is this your dog?

He seems like a good pup.

Yeah, he's pretty good.

Can I have my dog back now?

You see, that depends really.

Let me ask you, have you um...

ever had something taken from you?

Something you hold dear.

Kinda like Jasper here.

I just want my dog back, mister.

That's what I'm talking about.

There are some awfully mean people in this world.

People who like to push others around.

Others that are smaller or weaker than they are.

You're hurting him!

Oh, am I?

I didn't realize.

I like Jasper.

I want to go home.

Okay, well how about this.

I'll let go of Jasper.

In return you give back anything that doesn't belong to you.

I don't have anything of yours.

Not me, Brett.

Think about it.

Is this your address here?

Look, I'm going to give you Jasper back right now.

On one condition, Brett.

You return all the things that do not belong to you.

And if you ever find yourself thinking of picking

on someone, anyone at school or otherwise,

remember, Brett...

I know where you live.

And I'll be watching you.

Okay?

Good boy, Jasper.

Jasper, come here.

Come here, come here.

Remember what I said Brett!

Hi Alex!

Hi! So, where are the boys?

Somewhere.

Upstairs playing with dinosaurs.

Oh, cool.

Okay girls, go upstairs and get your stuff.

We have to go home.

Okay.

I did you a favor, now it's your turn.

Yeah, like I said, if you need to run any errands,

I can watch the girls.

I want a kiss.

Cori, I told you, I can't.

Don't worry,

I can't.

On the cheek.

I know you're taken.

Alright.

See?

That wasn't so bad.

If only I didn't have to get the girls back to

Gillian's before she gets home from pilates.

Until next time.

Time to go!

I'm... really sorry.

What the heck just happened?

Hello?

Hello?

I hear you guys!

Where is Rex and Max, I wonder?

Come on guys.

Sorry, Greg I didn't see you there.

You should have seen your face.

You were so scared.

I was not scared.

You were.

You kind of were.

Want me to show you on the playback?

No, that's okay, Alex.

You should check it out, it's pretty priceless.

Alright.

Okay, I guess you guys got me.

I used to have a remote control plane when I was a kid.

I was pretty darn good at it.

That's cool, why don't you take this one for a spin?

Really?

Yeah!

Guys?

Yeah!

Alright!

So that's up and down, left and right.

Got it, okay.

Watch this guys, wanna see a pro at work?

Here we go!

And up we go!

Here we go!

Not bad!

It's not that hard, it's like riding a bike.

It can be a little difficult...

Alright, you guys want to see a loop de loop?

Yeah!

It's not really...

Here we go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

No!

I...

That's alright, looks a little busted.

Sorry, Alex, I didn't mean to break your toy.

That's okay, it wasn't my toy, Greg.

I got it for the boys as a gift.

But that's okay.

I'll take it home and see if I can get it flying again.

Yay Alex!

It's alright, I'll fix it. Right?

No worries, Greg.

Hey, boys, I'm sorry.

It was a...

it was an accident.

Don't worry about it. I'll fix it.

I still can't believe it.

He just gave it back to me, said he was sorry,

and he didn't bother me again all day.

Nice!

Who did?

The bully who's been bothering Max after school.

Someone's been bullying you?

Not anymore.

After this morning, he barely even looked at me.

It's like he was taken over by aliens or something.

Like I said, sometimes all bullies need to

see that you'll stand up to them, right?

Alright, let me see that drone.

I'll try and fix it.

You guys get washed up for dinner, okay?

Alright.

So sorry, work ran late.

Wow.

I swear, you get more beautiful every time I see you.

Stop.

Alex, do you know where my blue dress is,

the one with the gold belt?

I can't find it, I wanted to wear it tonight.

There's actually a few things missing.

I do, I'm so sorry.

I took them to the dry cleaners.

I just wanted to get them cleaned for you.

I'll call tomorrow morning and make sure they're ready.

Thanks.

You guys are all dressed up, you got a special occasion huh?

Yeah, we do.

Greg made reservations at Paliotti's.

My favorite restaurant.

Oh, I've never heard of that one.

Really?

No.

It's so good.

You should take someone special there sometime.

I'll have to remember that.

Alright.

Call if you need anything, okay?

We'll be fine, you guys have fun.

Oh, and Alex, we'll be late alright buddy?

See ya!

See ya.

Hey guys, why don't you come on out here?

Your mom's not the only one that gets to have a special night.

I'm gonna make you a real special dessert.

Okay guys, sit up straight.

Do not spill this, okay?

What's that?

It's a tasty little smoothie that I made for you.

This tastes funny.

Yeah? It's because there's protein powder in there.

So you can get muscles like me. Right?

Yeah!

Is it good?

That's good.

Alright. Let's see how I can fix this thing.

Thank you sir, compliments to the chef.

I didn't know about the bully.

He never told me.

Feeling a little bit jealous that they told Alex instead?

Maybe?

Yeah, maybe a little bit.

A little bit? Don't be.

Alex is closer in age.

Maybe they felt more comfortable talking to him about it.

Yeah.

Don't worry.

I can't believe, that's where it all started.

That was our first date.

At that table.

What here? Really?

Yeah!

Wow!

You're... just stop it.

I'm going to be asking my girlfriend to marry me tonight.

So when...

No, no, no, no!

Hi, you've reached Karen.

I can't take your call right now,

so please leave a message. Thanks.

Hi!

Hi.

Why are you acting strange?

What's going on?

Nothing. I'm fine.

I'm great.

You're sweating. What's going on?

What's wrong?

I do remember coming here on our first date.

Sitting at that table right over there with

the most beautiful girl in the world.

This place means as much to me as it does to you.

There's a reason why I brought you here tonight.

And it's because...

there's something that I want to ask you.

Karen...

Oh my god, I can't believe this.

Just keep going!

Excuse me sir...

Honey we have to go.

Grab your purse.

You're kidding!

Come on, it's okay.

Tonight was amazing.

Abrupt, but it was amazing.

Definetely not what I had planned, that's for sure.

Still can't believe that happened.

We're home.

Hello?

Oh hey!

You guys are back so early.

Oh my gosh, the fire alarm went off in the middle of our dinner.

It was great.

Yeah, but we lived.

Wow, that sucks.

Sorry to hear that.

Hope it didn't ruin your night too badly.

Rough day at the office there, Alex?

Oh, you're sweating!

Happens trying to keep this place shipshape.

How are the boys?

The boys are... they're good.

They went to bed a little early.

I think they might be coming down with something.

So I was thinking maybe... I don't know,

maybe I should stay, just in case.

I could obviously sleep on the couch.

No. That's very sweet, but not tonight.

Okay, um... great.

I'll be off, and I will take these,

and get them working again.

Have a good night guys.

Good night, Alex.

Oh, come on!

Where are we going?

Go ahead.

You want to do this right now?

Yes.

Alright, look.

Honestly, honey, I don't care that

my plan didn't work out at the restaurant.

The fact that I was with you is all that matters to me.

It matters to me.

I know you love me and accept me, even my flaws.

And you supported me with my recovery,

and stuck by me and I couldn't have done it without you.

Karen, I love you.

Karen Clark?

Will you make me the happiest man in the world?

And be my wife?

Oh my god!

It's beautiful!

Honey, can you please say yes before another alarm goes off?

Yes!

Yes, I will marry you!

Yes?

Really yes?

Yes.

Yes?

Yes!

Yes? Yes?

Shh! The boys.

Is it the boys?

I don't know. Stay here.

Hey, honey. The boys!

No, no, no.

What?

Uh uh.

No more sneaking out.

Really?

Uh huh.

I thought we could tell them over pancakes this morning.

I love pancakes.

I know you do!

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Good morning!

I'm just making some breakfast for the boys.

Greg, I didn't see you.

I would have made you something.

That's alright Alex, don't worry about me.

Oh, it's not a problem.

Max, Rex, Greg spent the night last night.

Yeah, I know that, Mom.

He does it a lot.

Like for a long time.

Well, we've been talking and...

we think he should spend the night a little bit more often.

What do you think?

Okay.

You guys alright with that?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Great!

You know what guys?

How about this.

How about tonight, we have a boys night here, alright?

We'll get a barbeque going, get some ribs on the barbeque.

How about some foosball later, Rex?

Okay.

Yeah?

Yeah, and can we drink beer?

Uh...

Root beer, root beer.

Not all men drink beer.

Really?

I don't.

No beer?

No, not for three years.

Can we eat with our hands?

How else do men eat? Of course!

Since it's a boys night, can Alex come as well?

You know what? I think it's just going to be the three of us.

Just your Mommy's boys.

Rex, are you in?

Yeah!

Alright. You gonna beat me at foosball?

Yeah.

Alright.

There you go.

Greg's right guys.

Family's really important.

You guys enjoy.

My special scramby eggs!

Let me know how it tastes.

Thanks, Alex.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Hey!

How you doing?

Good, just getting the "cue" ready.

Thank you for being so sweet to the boys.

I'm looking forward to it.

And next dinner I'm cooking for you.

Okay, I'll hold you to it.

Have fun.

Get out of here.

Good luck!

Do I need it?

When do you think we'll be able to fly it again?

I don't know, buddy.

Greg broke it pretty good.

I'm going to try my best though.

Listen, you guys need to be on your

best behavior tonight with Greg, okay?

Yeah, we will.

Last thing I want is you guys doing what I did.

What'd you do?

For a long time, it was just me and my mom.

And we did everything together.

It was great.

But then she met this guy, Hank,

and all that started to change.

It wasn't so great.

He had to come with us everywhere.

She never had time for me anymore.

I know she loved me as much,

but it just wasn't the same after that.

But I'm sure that won't happen with Greg.

He seems great.

You guys finish your homework, okay?

I have a few other things to take care of before I leave.

Okay.

And I'll see you later on, okay?

Okay.

You guys usually eat anything that's in front of you.

What's going on?

I just feel like Mom should be here.

Yeah. It feels kind of weird.

Like, different.

I get it.

It's scary right?

Mom's boyfriend is around all the time,

is she gonna have time for us?

And, are we going to get along?

But you know what guys?

We actually have more in common than you think.

In fact, we have something very special in common.

You know what that is?

We all, three of us, love your Mom very, very much.

Right?

And nothing is gonna change that.

I think you guys are super cool.

And I think maybe you guys think I'm just a little bit cool?

Just a little bit?

Come on, yeah?

Okay, so can we be friends?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Alright, let's eat boys!

Aha! I knew you were hungry.

It's good.

Okay, let's see it.

It's amazing!

Isn't it beautiful?

Yes!

Well, I'm taking your boy toy to the wedding,

cause he is handsome.

Don't. Stop it. Don't Joke.

It's starting to get uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable?

He waits on you hand and foot and you don't have

to pay the price of lying on your back for

him once a week like some deadbeat husband.

Oh gosh, stop it!

What's wrong?

I knew he'd be in our lives.

It's just... it's starting to get invasive.

He does my laundry, but like...

Oh my god, you are such a prude!

Loosen up!

Hey.

Let's go to bed.

Come on.

Brush your teeth.

Okay.

Good night, guys.

Sweet dreams.

Hey, Greg?

Yeah buddy.

Thanks for an awesome night.

You too.

Greg!

Hey, how did it go?

Greg?

Greg!

Hey!

Get up!

Greg, get up!

What the hell...

What happened?

You know what? You tell me.

What?

You got drunk.

You watch my boys and you get drunk?

What, is this too much pressure for you, Greg?

Karen, hang on.

Three years, Greg!

Hang on, I don't remem-

I didn't drink that, Karen.

You need to get out of my house.

Just wait, okay?

Go!

You're not driving.

Come in.

Hi, I made the boys a scramble.

Would you like anything?

No, not really hungry this morning.

Okay.

Is everything okay? I'm sensing something.

I had to end my relationship with Greg last night.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that.

What happened?

When I got home he was drunk and passed out on the floor.

Are you serious?

Awful.

Just awful.

If there is anything that I can do for you, I'm here.

I'll be right downstairs.

Okay, thanks.

Um.. actually Alex,

did you ever see him drinking?

Here or around the kids at all?

Well, come to think of it, there was one

night he seemed more spirited.

I don't know how I missed it.

Karen, don't beat yourself up about this.

I mean, it's not your fault.

He was working so hard, you know?

He was really...

Three years sober!

People change.

Sometimes you think you know them.

You build an entire life with them and then, they change.

I'll be down in a minute.

C'mon boys, we need to leave!

Where's Karen?

She doesn't want to see you, Greg.

Fine, then she can tell me that.

Hang on, I thought she already had.

Out of my way, Alex.

I know it was you.

Greg, don't blame me for this.

This isn't my fault.

From the moment I met you, I could tell you

weren't good for this family, but I never said

anything to Karen because it wasn't my place.

I didn't trust you with the boys.

And you proved me right, Greg.

And I feel sorry for you because

unfortunately you need help.

You're a weak man.

Karen!

Just let it go, Greg.

I think you should move on.

I mean she is.

She already has.

You son of a bitch.

Alex!

What did you do?

Nothing he didn't deserve.

My kids are here!

Karen, I just want to talk, okay?

There's nothing to talk about.

Are you okay?

I did not drink!

He must have drugged me, alright?

He's trying to make me look bad to get to you.

He wants you Karen, don't you understand?

You need to get out of my house,

or I'm going to call the police.

On it, Mom!

Just get out of my house. Please.

Oh my god, Alex.

Are you okay?

Bedtime, monkeys.

Come on, let's go.

I can't.

I need to draw a picture of our family for school.

Sweetheart, um...

I know how much we love Greg and how much we

really want him to be a part of our family,

but I don't think he's going to be around for a while, okay?

This is Alex.

Alright, bed time. Come on.

Hello.

Yes, I'm interested in an employee of yours.

Alex Smith.

Yes, I've got his resume in front of me here.

There seems to be a gap in his employment history.

I'm just wondering why, if there was a problem or anything.

Oh that's... that's tragic.

Now, was this the same time he worked in Colorado?

It was. Okay, last question.

Would it be possible to get a name from you?

Great.

Hi girls.

What are you doing here?

We just thought we'd stop by for a quick visit.

Can Max and Rex come and play?

Um... well no, not today.

Not until they finish their homework.

Oh, it's fine.

Go on upstairs and say hi to the boys.

Thank you!

What do you want?

Is that any way to speak to someone

you've been intimate with?

A kiss is not intimate.

Then you're not doing it right.

Now's not a good time.

You always say that.

I'm gonna go get the girls.

You need to leave.

Let's see if this changes his mind.

Okay, time to leave.

The girls are coming down in two seconds.

I mean it.

Before I go, I just wanted to tell you

that Greg came to see me yesterday.

He was asking about you.

Seemed desperate. Jealous.

I didn't know at the time that he and Karen had broken up.

But maybe his suspicions were warranted.

I bet he'd be pretty interested

to see these pictures on the phone.

Karen too.

She didn't seem like a willing participant in many of them.

Don't bother deleting them, I already sent them to myself.

So you're a "MILF" type, huh?

That explains it.

What do you want?

What I've always wanted.

You.

Your place.

Tonight.

Or I send the pictures from my phone to Greg's and Karen's.

Girls, it's time to go!

Send me your address.

Oh, and I left you a little sneak peek

of what to expect at our playdate.

I'm glad you answered the door.

I wasn't a hundred percent sure you would.

I don't have a choice, you're blackmailing me.

That's an ugly way to put it.

Think of it as an enticement.

Do you have any wine?

Can we just get this over with, please?

Look, If this is gonna work, you're gonna have to relax.

Cori, can we...

Nope.

...do something else or...

This is so wrong.

What's wrong is if you lose your job and get

booted from the nanny agency for something

that's totally in your control to prevent.

Now, close your eyes and relax.

See? That wasn't so bad.

That's more like it.

Okay.

Well... delete them.

There. One down.

One?

No, no, no. That was not the deal.

The deal was, I wouldn't tell Karen.

Or Greg.

And I won't.

As long as you keep giving me what I want,

I'll keep giving you what you want.

Besides, that was way too much fun to do only once.

Why don't you come here, and we'll see

how many we can delete in one night?

How could you?

You tricked me.

You're a liar.

You lied to...

You're a liar!

You're right, I'm sorry.

I'll delete them.

Hello?

Yes.

Thank you so much for calling me back, Mrs. Rodriguez.

Yes.

I was wondering about a former employer of yours.

Gwen Brown.

Now, don't forget to carry the three.

Oh yeah, thanks Dad.

You're welcome.

You guys are doing great!

Rex.

You know that Alex isn't your dad, right?

Oh, I didn't see you there.

You know that right, Alex?

Yeah, no, no. We were just playing.

Well, that's inappropriate play.

You understand?

Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry.

Guys, I'm sure it's a little confusing,

with Alex being here, but he is not your dad.

And he never will be, right?

That's right.

You hear that?

I'll be right back, guys.

Karen!

I'm so sorry about that.

It's just a stupid game thing they do sometimes.

I don't care what it was, just as long as

it's corrected and it never happens again.

Do you understand me?

Absolutely.

You have my word.

You guys!

What did I say about you calling me dad?

You said that it was okay as long as Mom wasn't around.

Right.

So what was that?

Rex?

I didn't know she was there, I swear!

You didn't know she was there?

You guys gotta be careful, because

if it happens again I'm gonna have to kill you.

I'm just joking.

Seriously. Don't ever do it again.

Promise me?

Pinkie-swear.

Thank you.

Karen, please...

I said I needed space.

I need to talk to you.

If I wanted to talk to you,

I would've returned your phone calls.

This isn't about us.

It's about Alex.

You need to hear this Karen, please.

You and the boys are in danger.

Don't bring the boys into this.

You may not want to believe any of this,

but you need to hear it, alright?

I've had a bad feeling about Alex since the beginning.

So I looked into him.

What do you mean you looked into him?

He is a kid.

The last family he worked for.

A mother and two boys, just like you.

Okay.

She killed herself.

That's very sad. Very sad.

I talked to the housekeeper.

She knew Alex.

She didn't want to talk about him.

She was afraid of him.

She finally told me that every time she saw him look

at the mother, it was like he was in love with her.

Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

Do you hear yourself? Do you?

Do you hear what you're saying?

You sound crazy.

I'm not crazy.

You need to read this and listen to me.

If you want me to listen to you or to help you, you have

to start taking responsibility for your own actions.

Stop blaming other people!

Please go! Please just go.

Listen, Karen.

Just... please go.

Alex?

Hi.

I thought now that the boys were down, we could eat.

Wow, this is...

Amazing?

No. It's wrong.

Wrong?

I think you've gotten the wrong idea.

And this isn't working out anymore.

Um... I don't understand...

Things have just gotten...

a bit uncomfortable.

I don't really like the direction that you're headed

with the boys, and I think it all just needs to stop.

I think you need to leave.

Karen...

Whatever's going on, we can work through this.

We can. Surely.

No, we can't work through this.

I'm you employer, and I am not

in need of your services anymore.

You're fired, Alex.

Don't do this Karen.

The boys just lost Greg.

And now this?

I know what's best for my children.

Can I say goodbye to the kids, please?

No.

Please?

No, I don't want you to make it harder for them.

I'll make sure that they know that you said goodbye.

Alex... I need the key.

I'm sorry.

Howdy, boys!

How come you're picking us up early?

Yeah, mom never lets us miss school.

Because I am gonna take you guys to my favorite place on earth.

And we're gonna have an amazing time.

So, who wants to go to Wonder World?

Oh my god!

Karen?

Greg, I think you're right.

I looked him up.

Alex, what are you doing here?

Karen?

At first, I couldn't find my key.

But then I remembered...

I made a copy.

Karen?

Karen, can you hear me?

Karen!

Karen!

Karen!

Karen, you open this door!

Shh. It's okay, Karen.

I know this is moving fast, I do.

But I need to tell you.

I can see the way you look at me.

And I can see it in your eyes, okay?

It's love, and I feel the same thing.

No, it's not love, Alex.

Karen, would you quit...

Quit playing these games Karen, please.

The sooner you stop and admit this,

the sooner we can be together.

The sooner we can be a family, okay?

No, it's not like that.

I thought you wouldn't mind sacrificing

a half day of school for some family time.

What?

The boys are waiting patiently down in the car.

Do not...

Do not hurt my babies!

Karen, I don't want to hurt them.

I love them like they're my own sons.

I just want to make some memories.

I want us to make some memories.

Some place out of this world.

Wonder World?

Please, this is insane.

You understand that? This is insane.

Please, just stay here.

We can talk.

Pleaseplease, please.

No!

Karen?

Karen?

Max? Rex?

I just want to make some memories.

I want us to make some memories.

Some place out of this world.

Wonder World?

Oh my god.

We're here!

Max, Rex! Wait!

I want to go on the roller coaster first!

It's not open!

Of course it is!

How are we gonna get in?

It's locked.

You say it's locked, huh?

Lucky for you guys, I have a special key.

Stand back.

Yes, his name is Alex Smith.

They're headed to Wonder World and he is armed.

Please hurry.

It's closed.

What? No it's not.

Hey guys.

Come this way.

Got some memories to capture.

Come on! Right here!

Alright guys.

Family photo time.

Big smiles!

Nope, nope, nope nope.

Okay, we'll try again.

Guys, big smiles, okay?

This is gonna be for the Christmas card.

Okay: one, two, three.

Okay, okay, um...

Max, Rex?

Why are you guys making this so difficult?

As soon we get this done, we can go on the rides, okay?

But that's not going to happen until you smile,

both of you, and we get a nice family photo.

One more chance.

I want to go home.

You want to go home?

Well, that's not gonna happen until you

smile and we get a nice family photo!

One more time, okay?

I'm gonna put this camera up, and we're all gonna smile,

and we're gonna be a nice happy family, okay?

Hey, hey hey!

No tears. Rex!

No tears!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

I want to go home too.

Let's go sweetie.

Okay, Karen, Karen, Karen?

That's not an option, Karen.

Alex, please.

All the kids rides are closed.

Let's come back tomorrow.

No, we can't.

Hey, come here!

Ow!

Leave her alone!

No Max, we're a family now.

I will never leave you alone.

Get away from her!

No Max! Please!

Run! Run!

Please.

Karen.

Alex, please.

No, no, no.

It's okay, Karen.

It's okay, I'm doing the guy a favor, okay?

He is so annoying!

I can't love anybody that's killed anybody.

Please leave him.

I choose you.

I want it to be you.

I knew it from the moment that I met you.

I want you to help me raise my boys, please.

Please, leave him.

Karen, you have no idea how happy that makes me.

I can't tell you how happy that makes me.

But I have to kill him.

No, no!

Don't ever mess with my family!

Greg, come on.

Stay with me.

Help, please!

He's got a gun!

Call it in.

Stay over here by the car, okay?

Let's get some help.

He's over there!

I've got them.

Check it out!

Got nothing.

He was right there!

You have to find him!

Hi, you've reached Karen.

And Greg.

And Max!

And Rex!

We're not home, so please

Leave a message!

Hello, my name's Charlie Highsmith.

I'm here for the caregiving position.
