Hey, why do you and Jules fight so much?

I think it's really because
I'm always there to save her.

- Herself.

Getting her out of Mexico illegally?

That was like two days ago.

She didn't resent you before that?

Come on.

She cannot know I am telling
you this terrible story, yes?

Uh-huh.

[gentle music]

When Jules was at RISD, she had this

psycho Goth-type roommate.

We were super tight,
and then we'd fight,

and then we'd be friends again,
and it went around and around.

Intense and unhealthy, I guess.

She was diagnosed bipolar
right before our senior year,

and they seemed to have it
under control for awhile, but...

She was a genius.

Her work was always so surprising.

I could tell Jules was jealous,

which I told her not to be,

because clearly her
roommate was troubled.

And as the troubled are wont to do,

one day she just jumped off the roof.

Or out a window.

Something horrible.

For weeks,
I was in a kind of dream-state,

a nightmare.

And I was behind in my schoolwork.

Graduation was looming,

I completely dropped the ball
on my senior thesis project.

So Jules took her dead
roommate's project,

and presented it as her own.

I stole part of her project,
and I told myself that

it was inspired by
our conversations and our friendship,

so in a way, I had a right to it.

Obviously, a shitty thing to do, but

doesn't really matter considering

the aforementioned jumping
out the window thing,

except she got caught.

I was humiliated, terrified,

and my family swooped in to fix it.

Jules desperately needed
my help getting her life back together.

I was willing to take
the punishment, all of it.

And then my... my sister,

she just worked on me.

And she just wore me down.

Which is what she does,
she wears you down.

She was selfish and stubborn,

but I persisted.

And I... [clears throat]...

know I shouldn't blame my family
for how they helped, but I do.

And I can't forgive
myself for allowing it.

[soft scoff]

It's not so bad.

You were young and stupid
and k*lled your roommate, took her art.

- Okay.
- What?

No... I didn't k*ll her.

You didn't k*ll her?

You didn't push her off the roof
literally or metaphorically?

Umm, no.

Then, what is your problem?

I have to live my life knowing that

I owe my career...
if you can even call it that...

to my family getting me
off the f*cking hook.

If you insist on looking
through a moral point of view,

what you did wrong was you stole, right?

Whether you got help or not... [scoffs]

is neither here nor there.

But I should have been punished

by the school, by my peers.

You seem to be doing a very
good job of that on your own.

I know a lot about punishment.

the one who says,

"That's enough. Off you go."

Yes?

That's enough. Off you go.

So that's what's in Jules' envelope?

What envelope?

God, it must have been awful for her.

Yeah, well,
Jules got to play the martyr.

But the truth is I basically rode in
on a white f*cking horse.

I took off three weeks of work for that.

wanted to take responsibility.

me and told me you love me,

'cause that felt pretty
freaking real to me.

I was doing my job, Maddie.

Why ask if it was real, then?

Just making sure you're safe.
I wanted to hear your voice.

I'm great. Where are you calling from?

I may be getting closer and closer.

- What the hell are you doing?
- Uh...

I'm just making a quick call.

There was no service inside,
so, you know,

- I had to...
- [clears throat]

All right, look,
don't misunderstand this.

Exactly what have I not understood?

That you're leading this
mission with your d*ck?

Or that you just blew our cover?

- No, that is all calculated.
- Bullshit.

She will never lead us to the Doctor.

Listen, Agent Cook,
I understand your perspective,

I really do, but maybe
your methods are just a little outdated?

I'm working something here.
I'm flushing her out.

I'd closed cases while
your mother was still wiping your ass,

and I outrank you.

Okay.

Now, all due respect,
you don't outrank anybody.

All right? You're retired, remember?

That's right. I am.

And I prefer piña coladas,
bingo, and my Jerry

over this bullshit any day.

I'm going home tomorrow.
Good night, agent.

Thank you all for being here.

It means a great deal to us,
and to our family.

Unlike my dad, I'm not great with words.

But, uh,

other people in the family
have inherited that trait,

luckily, so.

[paper crinkles]

I knew this day would come.

But life has a way of surprising you

even with the things you've
always known would happen.

And here we are,

surprised and shocked
by this deep, unfair loss.

This dreaded day.

As I write this, I expect
to hear his booming voice.

He argued big.

He laughed big. He loved big.

He told big stories.

He told us, as kids,

that the reason we dip hard-boiled eggs
in salt water at Passover

is that when the Red Sea parted,

the water was just high enough

to graze the balls of the slaves
as they escaped.

Ask the Rabbi about that one.

And we did.

And then Dad got a call.

[very soft laughter]

He taught us so much,
about being a father,

a husband,

a man,

about making mistakes,

and learning,

and continuing to move forward.

Even on this day,

this impossible day,

he wouldn't want us to dwell,

but to push on.

Let the past be the past.

Let it not be a headwind
that holds us back,

but a tailwind that pushes us forward.

♪ ♪

Look at that, Dad.

You get to be pushy to the end.

Poor Arthur.

Why'd he have to go and do
something stupid like that?

Ah!

He was protecting the people he loved.

Most people do that, Maxie.

You know, we always thought
people like that were chumps?

But when you betrayed me and

left me at the Doctor's mercy,
I realized the joke's on us.

I was dead to the world.

Nobody cared, except maybe Maddie.

- We gotta move her...
- Shh, shh, shh.

Hello, Ezra. This is the Doctor.

Ezra, I want to express my condolences
on the loss of your father.

Max and Sally described to me
how he violently att*cked them.

Ill advised.

And such an awful
unintended consequence.

If he'd only done as he was told.

Well, not his strong suit I guess.

Now, you and Julia and Richard,

until further notice,

you work for me.

Max and Sally will drop you
at Langmore Cabin,

and I will send a welcome
package soon after.

Follow the instructions, do not deviate,

and these unintended consequences
can hopefully be avoided.

Talk to you soon.

- Or not.

Thank God for people like you.

You... you really
don't have to say that...

But I have to.

Thank the wonderful lady, Culley.
