The Family

Previously on "the family"...

- Adam! - Adam! Adam? Oh, god, Adam.

What if it's not him?

There's just been something off about him.

You're a drunk, and you are confused.

Who's that?

A friend.

Reporter: Hank Asher,

behind bars for more than 10 years,

is back at home.

I need to use Adam as bait.

He's here. He sees him.

He's not okay. He's not okay. I know my son.

I don't feel right. I...

Doctor: The blockage was here, right below his appendix.

My son had his appendix out when he was 5.

Adam?

Adam?

Ben?

Who is he?

Is his name Ben?

I'm so sorry, mom.

What did you do?

Oh, my god.

Mom.

Mom?

Don't you have any idea what you have done?

Do you even understand...

We were falling apart, all of us! Do you understand?

Do you understand what you've done?

I don't know. How could you possibly think...

I thought i could make it better.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god. I thought if I could just...

If I could just bring him back...

- God... - And I did.

And I did... I brought my brother back!

No, it's not him! It is not your brother!

I thought I could fix it!

Seeing you lose him was the worst moment of my life.

Oh, well, now you get to see it all over again.

Mom, wha... Mom...

Mom, please.

You shouldn't drive. You're too upset.

What if someone sees you like this?!

Oh, my god.

That's why you did it.

- What? - To win the election.

- That's not true. - Oh, my god.

- That's not true. - What?

That's not true.

You were worried about name recognition.

And now you're not!

No, I just wanted... I wanted things

to go back to the way they were. Oh, my god.

I just... I never thought about the race.

I don't believe that. I don't believe it!

I love you, mom.

I don't believe that, either!

Mom...

He was with him!

For 10 years, he was there!

Do you think that matters?

He helped him. He knew him! He... he... he...

Everything about him, more than we ever did!

But he's not my son!

He made Adam's life bearable!

Doesn't he deserve something for that?

He is not my son!

Your son is dead!

And...

And Ben is here.

And he may not be Adam,

but he's the closest thing we have.

Ben: French toast with bacon or scrambled eggs with hash browns?

I'm really good at cooking.

I'll probably be a chef someday.

I had a mouse down here.

Her name was Lola.

What's your favorite book?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

What's your name?

You got to eat.

Okay, more for me.

I hate eggs.

French toast it is.

You burnt the bacon.

What happens down here?

We eat.

We play.

We have school.

Sometimes our friend comes.

What does he do?

He brings toys.

Banana pancakes or blueberry?

Chocolate chip with whipped cream

and hot dogs and French fries...

- And root-beer floats. - And cake.

And sundaes.

Tell me something new.

They killed Saddam Hussein.

I, Claire Warren, do solemnly swear that I will support

the constitution of the United States

and the constitution of the state of Maine,

and that I am not disqualified... Mayor?

From holding the office of mayor. She's gonna be president, daddy.

Reporter: Claire Warren got a major victory today

when the city council voted to adopt

a zero-tolerance policy on unregistered sex offenders.

Warren became a public figure after the tragic murder

of her young son, Adam, nine years ago.

Waffle or cinnamon roll?

Tell me something new, Adam.

They killed Saddam Hussein.

There's a steel wall.

It's blocking the whole tunnel.

Prime rib for dinner?

No.

What about some pizza?

This... That's not pizza.

It's old bread.

If we're good, maybe our friend will bring ice cream.

Stop calling him that.

What?

He's not our friend.

You know what he comes here to do,

and it's not bring ice cream.

Adam...

He's not our friend!

Our friend will be here soon.

He'll take you to the hospital.

Tell me something new.

Bracelet.

Where is he?

Bracelet.

Key.

Where is he?

Key.

He was in a bad way.

I did everything I could.

Well, you haven't been eating.

Huh?

You need to eat.

Hey, don't worry.

I'll get you a new friend.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You look pale.

Worry about yourself.

I don't think they're feeding you.

You look thin.

Oh. Am I clean?

'Cause normally I hollow it out and put a shank in there.

Mom.

Hmm?

If something happens to me in here,

I want you to know that it's not your fault.

What's not my fault?

It's not your fault i am the way I am.

You're a good boy.

You always have been, and you always will be.

Don't believe anyone who says different.

Okay.

Now let's do a puzzle.

Oh, hey, I didn't know you were home.

Yeah, I got a job.

Oh, that's great, honey.

But the dude changed his mind and gave it to his nephew.

Nepotism, right?

I'm always happy to abuse my power on your behalf.

Uh, no, no, no.

Some... Something will come up.

Actually, um...

I do have an idea for an app.

Yeah?

Yeah, and I know it's, like,

what everybody's doing right now,

but if you get the right people together for the coding...

How much?

Oh, no, mom, I wasn't asking...

How much do you need?

Uh, like... a thousand would probably be good.

It'd be good for startup, and I've crunched these numbers,

and that's a very specific number...

For a startup.

What does the app do?

- Going to stay for dinner? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just got to run and do something real quick.

And then I'll be back at dinnertime.

Love you.

Bracelet.

Hey, we talked about this.

You have to eat.

You're not eating.

You... you're gonna be skin and bones.

You can't mope around forever.

I know you're sad. I'm sad, too.

Where's all the bricks?

Right here!
