This Is Us

Previously on This Is Us...

Jack!

- No, Mom, Mom, no! - Jack!

You know, when you had your first breakdown,

you thought that was gonna be

- the only one. - I appreciate your concern.

But I'm fine.

Okay, I am worried that we're just

one big emotional thing from this happening...

Beth, I'm fine.

It appears you have mild cognitive impairment.

Things could begin to deteriorate.

I'm sorry to keep asking you

- to keep this to yourself. - I get it.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm hanging in there.

I'm gonna grab some water, and then I'm coming to bed.

Okay, maybe we shouldn't have read them Hop on Pop.

Come on, Dr. Seuss always puts them to sleep.

All right, Katie girl, come on.

Let's go, up and at 'em, up and at 'em!

- No, no! - Yes, yes.

Come on, bug, come on, come on, come on.

- You're going with Mom today. - Oh, let's go to bed.

All right, gentlemen, the last one

under the sheets is a dirty, stinkin', rotten egg.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Oh, first night in your big-boy beds.

Yep, okay, love you, too.

Good night.

Sleep like kings.

And time. Babe, I tell you, you shave a few minutes off that,

you're gonna join me on the leader board.

Are you kidding me? You know, she made me sing Wham!,

and then Queen as an encore.

Uh-huh.

You know, why don't you call it a night?

- What? - Yeah, take some cough medicine,

and just pass out.

- What? - I'm sorry.

You actually think these three are gonna stay asleep?

With brand-new beds

and Big Three separation anxiety?

Whatever happens, I can handle it, all right?

- Okay. - I'm gonna make a pot of coffee.

I rented The Shining. I'm good.

No, I'm good, too. I'm fine.

I'm not even tired. I swear.

Bud, you're not supposed to be up.

Dad, I'm scared.

There's nothing to be scared about, pal.

Yes, there is.

I don't want any trouble.

Okay?

What do you want?

Money?

Uh, okay, I-I-I-I...

I have money, all right?

You can have my...

I'm a city councilman.

You should know that.

And you're in my home.

There are security cameras everywhere.

You already triggered the silent alarm.

Leave now, maybe you avoid the cops.

Hey.

If you stay,

you will not get past me.

Hey, Mom, Mom.

Mom?

Hey! Hey, hey, Mom!

Come on, get out of the lightning.

Please, please! Come in, Mom! Please come into the house, Mom.

Please, Mom!

Mom!

Mom, please! Can you, please?!

Can you not hear me, Mom?!

Mom, Mom!

Mom!

Mom, please!

- We need to go now! - Randall?

Calm down, it's just a drill.

- Let's go, please. - Hey...

Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop, stop for a second.

Hey, look at me, look at me. It's just a drill.

Okay, th-there's, there's no fire.

It's-it's...

it's just a drill.

Uh, come here.

We're okay.

Councilman?

Councilman Pearson?

Sorry, Lieutenant.

What was that?

Just saying we've checked out the house.

Nothing seems to be missing.

We've dusted the downstairs.

- And we can dust upstairs. - No need.

- I caught him coming in. - Okay.

And I notice you don't have a security system.

I highly recommend installing one.

I will. Uh, I've been meaning to, actually.

We just got so busy with...

- I'll get it done. - Okay.

Uh, if you'll excuse me, my wife is upstairs

calming down our girls... I need to go check on them.

Of course. We're almost finished here.

Uh, Councilman.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but home invaders

often come back the same night or the next night

because many families are too rattled to stay in the home.

We'll have a squad car posted out front, but...

just an FYI.

- That's good to know. - Okay.

- Thanks. - You bet.

What did he want?

Probably just looking for money.

You know, he wasn't gonna hurt us.

That's why he ran away when he saw Dad.

What if he comes back?

Honey, that's...

that's not gonna happen.

How do you know?

Uh, 'cause we're in a big city now.

Cops are like

Avengers out here and...

Yeah. And Dad probably scared him away for good

with his awful jokes.

Ha-ha-ha.

They're an acquired taste.

Beth, can we talk in the hallway?

Yeah.

You okay?

You okay?

Yeah. You?

As good as can be expected, I guess.

All right.

Uh, 7:00 in the morning.

No one's going back to bed.

You should take the girls and check into a hotel tonight.

Try to get some rest.

Hotel? Why?

Uh, it's just to be safe.

The-the officer mentioned that sometimes

these guys come back two nights in a row.

- Oh, my God. No. - Just...

Uh, you have to come with us.

I'm not leaving you here alone.

- Beth. - I'm not, Randall.

Beth, I'm staying.

I got to fix the window, make sure

the security system gets installed.

I don't want the girls exposed to that.

And I want to make sure the house is back to normal

before you come home, okay?

Hey.

Listen to me.

They're leaving a squad car outside.

If this guy is dumb enough to come back,

he'll have to deal with me and Tess's T-ball bat.

I don't know how you can

joke around at a time like this.

What? All I'm saying is that he'll have to deal with my bat

and these guns.

Mm.

- Know what I'm saying? - Mom?

Yeah, baby.

Almond liqueur crème pat?

It's okay. It's okay.

It's very nice and strong. I love that.

Marzipan's good.

Chocolate's good.

The jellies are nice.

- The pastry not so. - Mm-hmm.

- Thank you, Kim-Joy. - Thank you very much.

Let me help you.

It's okay.

You're up?

Why are your texts so formal?

Whatever.

Did I catch you on set?

No, uh, I finished my reshoot last night.

I'm actually not in L.A.

Oh. Where are you?

Home. Or, well, what used to be home anyway.

I'm in Pittsburgh doing something

totally stupid.

Right, or maybe not. Maybe it's so...

crazy that it's actually sane.

I'm going to a funeral.

Whose?

Sophie's mom died.

Oh, damn.

You good?

Who knows? What about you?

Someone broke into our house last night.

What? Is everyone okay?
