The Family

Previously on "The Family"...

I am announcing my candidacy for governor.

We need to influence public perception with this.

We'll need the whole family.

I think we go traditional.

Life isn't a straight shot, my friends.

It's full of hills and valleys.

Confront your grief, and you'll take away its power.

Tell me about the man in the woods.

He has holes in his face.

What about the place he kept you in?

- What could you see? - A red dragon.

He was breathing fire right at me.

An emergency hearing was held this morning

which declared Asher a free man.

Where's my mom?

- She passed, Hank. - Oh.

I didn't take that little boy's ship.

I don't even know how it got there.

My brother used to be a patient here,

and we thought it might be nice to have his dental records.

Your sister already picked them up.

Oh.

M-My name is Adam.

_

Have you ever done something you can't undo...

... you can't forgive, you can't forget?

So you tear yourself apart.

_

Why were you so sure that I was dead?

I don't know.

I was waiting.

Adam...

Why'd you stop looking for me?

I don't know.

Have you ever done something that wrong?

I have.

Daddy?

Did you do it?

What's that smell?

Contempt.

We'll see these on camera...

"Bless this happy home." "Coolest mom ever."

Uh, "home," so it looks like Claire crocheted it herself.

The American people want to know we're in a good place.

We're not.

This interview could get Mom the endorsement,

so I need you to stay relatively sober till it's over.

I can go two days without a drink,

- so you don't really have to worry. - Just don't overreach.

Just drink to maintain.

Okay, you're gonna put him on national TV,

and you're worried about me?

What does that say about you?

- Bye, Ad. - Bye.

Hey, hey, um, is he going to the dentist anytime soon?

How should I know?

Those bunkers are actually part of the oil refinery.

So basically anyone who has ever worked at this refinery

could've known how to get into that tunnel.

Uh, if you can get us contact info for current

and former employees, that would be more than helpful.

That I can do.

How far along?

Oh, technically, six months.

When I try and get off the couch, 20.

- Mm. - You have kids?

No.

We're not the most modern around here.

Uh, we're computerized from 2002.

Before that, our records are paper... so much paper.

Paper, paper, paper.

Just send it all over.

Detective Meyer?

Gabe Clements.

I should've introduced myself before.

I was taken with your board over there.

Very, uh, "Beautiful Mind."

Anything else you need from me?

Why? You going somewhere?

Aren't I?

Oh, 'cause I'm the Fed, I'm supposed to say,

"This is my case and we play by my rules,

so you're on desk duty"?

You live here. You know the players.

We'll worry about you testifying in court and all that

when we catch our pock-marked man.

'Cause I'll probably only catch him if you help me.

You drive.

We'll stop for better coffee on the way.

I like the coffee here.

This is my case, and we play by my rules.

He set the fire to destroy any potential forensic evidence,

and so far it's worked.

We're not getting prints or DNA.

And you're sure it's the place?

Oh, my God.

So you came here to tell us that,

or is there something you want?

We'd like Adam to revisit the scene.

The scene of his imprisonment and torture?

- I know it's a lot to ask for. - You have no idea.

Just hear her out, Claire.

Our hope is that the visceral experience

of being back there might trigger some memory.

Or a complete breakdown.

I-I get you want to protect him, but look at him.

Look what he already survived.

- He's strong. - You don't hear him at night.

He has nightmares.

No, he's not ready. Let's wait a week.

- I want to go. - Till your interview's over?

- This isn't about that. - I want to go.

- The hell it's not. - I want to go!

I'm not a little kid that you need to protect.

Not anymore.

- So, when did it start? - What?

You sleeping with the dad.

I'm FBI. We're perceptive.

Few months after.

I'm not judging.

Just wondering if it ever clouded your vision.

Hmm, my vision was cloudy before that.

You were looking at the neighborhood sex offender.

Who wouldn't? But statistically, most child murders

are someone in the family.

_

So, the kids went to get ice cream.

Mm-hmm. Haven't we been through this?

There are just a few gaps in our time line.

What gaps?

Was John with you at the rally the entire time?

Yes, why?

Didn't leave your side, not even for a second?

I don't think so.

But you're not sure?

I-I was shaking so many hands that night, I don't...

Maybe he went to the bathroom...

Stoplight camera caught him driving across town.

Didn't clock him coming back for over an hour.

What are you trying to say?

I want to know where you went, John.

I went to get more fliers. I told you that already.

Well, they said that you were gone for an hour.

Why would it take an hour to get fliers? I...

I-I-I turned on the game, okay?

It was the last quarter.

The kids were off. You were fine by yourself.

So I drank a beer, and I turned on the damn game, okay?

Okay?

- It sounds lame, John. - What?

It sounds like a made-up story. I'm sorry. It just...

Would... Would you like to ask me something?

No, don't. But, ye...

'Cause it sounds like you really, really want to.

No, really. Stop it.

- Stop, stop. - If you honestly believe

- that I am capable of hurting someone... - Okay, all right.

- All right. Do you want me to ask you? - ...let alone my own son!

- Where were you, John?! - I told you!

You are lying!

I'm exhausted. I'm confused.

I just... just want him back.

You think I don't?

Every day I want him back.

But the hell if I'd ever turn on you.

Honey...

You don't need to do this.

Ad?

I want to.

Careful... there's plastic on the steps.

We're still processing evidence down there.

You coming?

I just... I-I just need a minute.

Mom?

You don't have to do this, either.

Hi. Can I help you?

I want to buy a puppy.

Bows on the girls and bandanas on the boys.

Otherwise, it's all one big ball of cute.

Okay, Mr. Hank, climb on in.

Why?

To pick your puppy.

Or if you really want a friend for life,

let the puppy pick you.

Ooh! Oh, my!

You're gonna be a great daddy, Hank.

Anything coming back, Adam?

Yeah.

I remember everything.

That's where I slept.

Over there was the bathroom.

- Did you have a... a... - Bucket.

This was my kitchen.

But that right there...

was the dining room.

I saved it for when he brought good food.

What was good?

Hamburgers and fries.

Anything have a logo? The bag or the boxes?
