There's no need for any of this.

You can just get to the point where

you ask me about last night.

Last night?

You and that woman you work with.

I don't know what

you think you saw.

I do.

I know exactly what I saw.

I'd be very careful, David.

That's a serious accusation

you're about to make.

If you think I'm gonna

tell Jade, I'm not.

If that's the reason why

you brought me out here.

But I'll tell you this.

If she found out,

it would kill her.

There's nothing to tell.

But if you continue down this

road, you will regret it.

You understand?

You've been quiet all day.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm all right.

I'm just tired.

Our dad's finally getting

to you, isn't he?

Does he compare you to

Chris, or is it just me?

It's all right. Your dad's

just having a hard time.

No, he's been having a

hard time for a while now.

He's an a**hole.

He just can't hide it anymore.

"And Chris wouldn't even

know what a frat party was!

"Communications? Isn't

that for yoga instructors?

"Arizona State?

Why not major in alcoholism?

"I mean, Jesus Christ, Keith!

"Could you just be better?

"Could you just do something?"

It's fine. I don't...

I don't really care.

It doesn't matter.

I'll never be anything like him.

Hey. The kids went into town.

You up for a movie?

- I'm returning a bunch of calls.

- Okay.

This is Dr. Butterfield

for Detective Sutton.

He's a patient.

Hey. What's up?

I missed all this.

Let's be young and dumb,

just for tonight.

Done.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Ah! Hey! What are you doing here?

Oh, you'd know if

you ever called me.

Listen, we all went

in on a houseboat.

We've been partying for the

last five days straight.

- I miss you, man.

- I miss you, too.

And what about me? Hey.

It's good to see you, too.

Yeah, this party's done.

We're gonna take off.

You two should join.

- Where to?

- We're gonna go to the zoo.

We're gonna sneak in after it closes,

we're gonna get a little high,

and then we're gonna hang out

with the wildlife. Huh? Huh?

All right, we're gonna

get a lot high.

Trust me, there's nothing like it.

I think we're just

gonna stay here, man.

No, I wanna go. Can we go?

No. We're gonna stay here.

What? Let's go. Come on.

She wants to go.

Dear Helen,

this letter may come off

slightly unconventional,

but that seems to fit David.

It's difficult to put into words,

but his presence has affected

not only my daughter,

but our entire family.

You know, we don't have to do this.

I'm fine. I want to.

Charlie!

- What up?

- What up, dawg?

Hey, this is my boy, Charlie.

Turns his head every

time, all right?

Hey.

Ladies and gentlemen,

ooh, welcome to my zoo.

He is filled with so much

light and so much love

that I can't believe this won't

translate into a very bright future.

Fifty!

Quite simply...

Ready or not, here I come.

He's sparked

something in all of us.

A laughter in my son.

Run, run!

An awakening in my daughter.

No!

Hey-ya! Okay-ya!

A desire in me.

A desire for what?

To be in love again.

Jade's about to leave.

We could go anywhere, start over.

I remember who you are.

Oh.

Who we were.

Are you in love with him, too?

Of course I'm not.

I love the way that he

loves our daughter.

I'm still in love with you.

It's a good letter.

I can mail it tomorrow

after my swim.

Nice!

Let's go, come on.

This is amazing.

Wow.

Wow.

I want this one.

- This is crazy.

- This is amazing.

- Gwen. Get over here.

- This is awesome.

Whoo!

I'm coming to get you.

911. What is your emergency?

Hey. Um...

I just saw some kids break

into the zoo down on Lakeview.

Mmm-hmm.

Yes!

Love is in the air, Davey.

What's that smile for?

I'm thinking of asking

Sabine to marry me.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

Does Jade know?

No one does.

I didn't even really

know until an hour ago.

Congratulations.

My dad, he'll, uh, most likely

try and talk me out of it,

and he'll probably

win, but for now...

For now, you're proposing.

For now, I'm proposing.

And hopefully eloping.

You know, man,

I'm really glad you came.

Thank you.

And I'm glad you're with my sister.

I haven't seen her this happy

since Chris was alive.

Hey, Mace! What is that?

Oh, shoot, it's the cops.

Come on, we gotta go.

Come on, go, go, go!

We gotta get out of here.

- Hurry.

- Move, move, move!

- Jade! Sabine, let's go.

- Mace.

- What?

- Mace, take them.

- What?

- She can't get caught. Take them!

- No!

- Jade. Jade, come on!

- Come with us, David!

- Go! Go!

Go, go, go!

Like, today! Come on!

There he is!

Hey! Over here!

Come on, Sabine.

You, stop!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Hurry up!

Get over here!

Stop!

Put your hands up in the air!

Mom. Mom, wake up.

Jade.

Jade. What's wrong?

- Shh.

- What's happened?

There was a reason I didn't

invite David on this trip.

I know, but it's because of David

that I'm not in jail, too.

No, it's because of David

that you've changed.

And not for the better.

Hugh, are you not

gonna go and get him?

I've learned a few

things about David.

It's not gonna be his

first night in jail.

We never really knew him

or what he's capable of.

You've been digging into his past?

Oh, rightfully so. He didn't think

to share this with you, did he?

I'm sure there's a perfectly

good explanation.

Well, yeah, he's a criminal.

And that's why he's

behind bars as we speak.

This could cost him his

college, his future.

He doesn't have a future, Jade.

And he's gonna make sure that

you don't have one either.

This is the kind of guy you

really want to fight for?

Yes! I don't care about his past.

There's nothing you can say that will

change the way I feel about him.

- Mom, please!

- Look, this is ridiculous!

I'm calling the station. Stop it.

Anne.

Please, Dad.

Get him out.

I love him.

On one condition.

Anything.

As happy as I am to see you, I was

hoping it wasn't gonna be you.

Ah.

I'm sorry. Uh...

I'll pay you back. I promise.

I'm not concerned about the money.

Where's Jade?

She's at home.

She just knew it would make

things harder if she came.

I'm taking you to your car, David.

You're not coming back to

the lake house with us.

Hey, hang on. What do you mean?

Your relationship with

my daughter is over.

It's time to let her go. Let her

have the success she deserves.

Is that what she wants or

is that what you want?

She is not here to

pick you up, is she?

I'll ask her myself.

She's taking the internship.

Yeah, she decided this morning.

This is just a summer fling.

It's not real love.

You're in no position to lecture

me on what real love is.

You have no idea what

goes on in my marriage.

No.

No, I don't.

But I know you have

this incredible family.

I see how you treat them. I would

never treat Jade that way.

Oh. Oh.

Tell me, how would you

treat her, David?

Go ahead, tell me.

Like that kid in the police report?

I did a little research.

Is that the kind of person you

think I want for my daughter?

That was a long time ago.
