The Family

Previously on "the family"...

Eyes on the prize, champ.

Ah!

How did you know this is the one I wanted?

I know you, Cruz.

Say hi to your boyfriend for me.

So what are we looking at?

Every night he gets on a bus

And goes somewhere in this neighborhood.

Who the hell is he seeing at 2:00 A.M.?

I think you may be in danger.

You think Doug took that boy?

We'll talk in the car. Let me get my purse.

Aah!

Man: After a series of decade-old graphic texts

Emerged earlier today, romantically linking... What?

Warren's husband to Nina Meyer...

Claire: What did you do?

Is his name Ben?

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

Mom, please. I am not your mom.

Monkey survived his spin in the dryer.

Thanks for coming by.

I know it's been a while.

I stand by my work.

Gabe: Well, kid, here we are...

In the suck.

I was pretty pumped to solve that case with you,

But where I am now, I won't be much help.

Good news is, you know more than you think.

You know they'll get rid of the evidence first.

You know they're probably hiding in plain sight.

Oh!

Bad news is, you don't know the most important thing.

Gabe on voice mail: It's Clements. Call you back.

Get out of bed and come to work, would you?

Gabe: I'm already gone.

Catherine: This is Dr. Catherine Santoro.

Adam warren, session eight, code number 6433.

Catherine: Morning, Adam.

Anything you want to talk about today?

No.

I think it would help.

Tell me what you did down there when you woke up each day.

I ate breakfast.

Okay.

Good.

Then what?

We had school.

"we"?

I mean me.

You said "we."

I had school. I read books.

Adam, you were alone for 10 years.

It's perfectly normal

That you'd create a companion in your mind.

Is that what you did?

Yeah.

Can you tell me more about your friend?

Does he have a name?

Ben.

Where did Ben come from?

Nowhere.

Does he have a family like you?

He has nothing.

What do you mean?

They just moved him around all the time.

Like a foster kid?

It makes sense that you would create someone

Who's had a very different life than you.

Is Ben still with you now?

No.

Do you miss talking to him?

No.

He got you through a very traumatic experience,

So it makes sense if you...

I never want to see him again.

Do you ever sleep?

I'll sleep when I'm in the governor's mansion.

Coffee?

In the pot.

You need the wi-fi?

I assume you're pretty fly for a wi-fi.

Otherwise, your neighbor

Is using your phone number as his password,

And you should move.

You are way too together to be in my bed.

I'm not always together.

Like when?

Now.

Because I'm a girl?

Because you're a human.

Ugh.

What?

Are you...

That meeting wasn't on my calendar.

I didn't see it.

Uh, no, I-I can't right now.

Of course I'm at home.

Uh, yeah.

Mom, I'll be right there!

Just calm down!

Listen, I'm telling you this

'cause I trust you not to say anything,

But she's been in rough shape since dad's affair came out.

Yeah, we're... we're running out of Kleenex here,

So I'm trying to get her head in the game for the debate.

You'll just have to handle this one without me.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you... Ryan, grow a pair.

What?

That was a really good lie.

I'm a really good liar.

John: What's all that?

I'm getting rid of it.

Even monkey?

I'm not a little kid anymore.

Copy that.

Oh. Late night?

Willa: Early morning.

Oh? Did you go to church?

No. Oh, maybe you should.

I bet god has a lot to say to you.

What's your problem?

I'm just enjoying the irony.

Why don't you focus on yourself instead?

You've got to step all this business up a notch tonight.

All of it. No surprises.

A buzzed Danny is still a drunk Danny.

And wear a proper suit.

Not your jean tuxedo.

Touchy.

Let's talk about dad's affair.

Wow.

We can't ignore it.

It's all over the news.

Thanks to you.

The overnight polls show women voters are loving it,

As I predicted.

Their husbands all cheat, so they're with you.

But it's still important we show a united front tonight.

When the debate ends, you'll be at mom's side,

Contrite but adoring.

Bill and Hillary, john and Jackie.

We're not reinventing the wheel here.

You'll hold hands onstage. You'll have your moment.

And then the rest of us will join, Adam in the middle.

This is our chance to remind voters

That Claire warren represents strong family values.

Represent.

Well, here's the bad news.

The pipe under the sink's been leaking.

It, uh, rotted out the wood under the drawer tracks.

Okay.

And then the hinges rusted over on the kitchen cabinet,

So we'll have to replace those, too.

What's the good news?

I can probably get it done today.

Wow.

That's great.

I like to work fast.

I'll uh,... I'll write it up.

Hi.

You came.

Hi.

Look. I got the mast up.

We can't be friends anymore, Adam.

Why?

I'm a lot older than you.

So?

So you should...

Play with kids your own age.

But you said we could build a model airplane next.

You promised.

Friends should want what's best for each other, right?

What I want...

Isn't the best for you.

Here.

Go get yourself some ice cream.

Go on.

Hey, what is that?

Come on. What's that?

Hey.

Hey, question about the warren case.

Yeah?

Did he wrap it before he tapped it?

Bite me.

So, that's your type... Mr. Sad dad?

My type's pretty much anyone but you.

I'm easy like that.

Parker. Parker: Yeah?

I need you to run the addresses on 100 north 45th street

Between Austin and pine.

What are you looking for in that area? Foster home.

Sure. Thank you.

I'm an idiot.

Could be.

But we got our best circulation numbers to date

For that affair trash.

I had the biggest story of my career,
