Self-Deportation
00:00:11[Ron Howard] Michael had decided to leave town,
00:00:14and needed to get out of his obligation to make a movie
00:00:17-about his family. -Michael! You had one job.
00:00:19You had to get your son to sign the releases!
00:00:22Ron Howard wants to make a heartfelt father-son drama that has a good clean message for his illegitimate daughter to star in.
00:00:28Don't pull this on me! We've already reserved the soundstages and he's already started paying off
00:00:32-the Hollywood Foreign Press. -[Ron] No, they're great.
00:00:34-She's funny. -I understand all of that.
00:00:36Okay, but Rebel is part of the reason why I can't do this.
00:00:39My son is dating her, and I don't want to get in the way. If I could talk to Ron,
00:00:43-No. No. I am in charge -I'm sure he and I... of this movie right now. My ass is on the line while Ron makes a real movie in Mexico.
00:00:49-Mexico, okay. -You don't understand how hard it is in Hollywood right now.
00:00:52You have to crank out family dramas before they let you make your dream superhero movie.
00:00:57Do you have a dream superhero movie?
00:00:59I want to remake Spider-Man 2, the first one.
00:01:02Or something that at least has a hook.
00:01:04-...little girl! [screams] -Oh, God! Damn it.
00:01:07My brother Buster has something better than a hook.
00:01:10A robot hand. Okay? And there's a cop looking for him.
00:01:13-Hmm. -And they can't find Lucille 2.
00:01:16And I found Buster in the attic in scuba gear.
00:01:18It's intriguing. I think that's your movie.
00:01:20-That's your guy. -No.
00:01:21Okay, I've got his release right here.
00:01:23[Ron] In fact, it was the only family member's release...
00:01:26You're out of the movie. You're out of the movie.
00:01:28-...he hadn't destroyed. -You're out of the movie.
00:01:30You're out of the movie! Know what?
00:01:32-You're out of the movie. -Fine.
00:01:33Hey, Dad, how ya doing?
00:01:35-You're out of the movie! -[Michael] With Buster, it is not father-son, it's more mother-son.
00:01:40But if you could get Rebel to play Lucille, you know...
00:01:43If she could go that unlikable.
00:01:45So that's his release right here.
00:01:47These are the other releases. You need tape, but they're pretty clean.
00:01:51You're off the picture, Michael. I'll give you your 500 bucks.
00:01:55-I get paid? -They're Imagine dollars.
00:01:57They're redeemable in the gift shop.
00:01:59-That's Ron Howard. -Brian's on the 50.
00:02:01It's a severance thing they're doing because of Ron's need to be loved and Brian's conflict avoidance issues.
00:02:06[Ron] Michael had gotten into something he wanted no part of.
00:02:09I'm sure they've got a very old relationship.
00:02:11I could tell you stories.
00:02:12[Ron] But she wouldn't dare. And after a quick stop downstairs...
00:02:15I think I'm gonna take one Gung Ho kimono, okay?
00:02:19Oh, and maybe a Brian wig. That's fun.
00:02:21-Oh, we only sell these as a set. -[line ringing]
00:02:23They were getting very competitive.
00:02:25-Were they? -[whispers] Brian was.
00:02:27...and another call to his son...
00:02:28[George Michael] You've reached George Maharis.
00:02:30[in normal voice] Did you want that Rebel Alley hair?
00:02:32Oh. Uh, no no.
00:02:34That's... that is mine.
00:02:35-I came with that. Uh, okay. -...Michael headed home
00:02:38to tell Buster his plan for making the family come back.
00:02:41I've sent away the fumigator, and all you got to do, so we can declare you missing, is stay out of sight for about 72 hours.
00:02:48-Milford style. -Hmm?
00:02:50-I'm a Milford man, Michael. -Yeah?
00:02:52Winner of 1982's Least Seen on Campus.
00:02:57I wish I could've seen their faces
00:02:58-at the ceremony. -We just, you know, we gotta play this right and, uh, you gotta make sure you don't...
00:03:04-well, show your hand. -This is one of only two things the Army warns us about when they issue these.
00:03:10Boy, Kitty does not know what she's sitting on.
00:03:13Pal, I'm gonna call you from, uh, wherever I end up, and you're gonna be great.
00:03:18I-I just don't understand why I can't go with you, Michael.
00:03:21It's about teaching them a lesson.
00:03:23-Mm-hmm. -So... And I just,
00:03:24I got in a big fight with my son, you know.
00:03:26It was my fault. For so many years,
00:03:28I was his mom and dad, so...
00:03:30Maybe that's a role I can play in your life.
00:03:33[stammers] Don't say--
00:03:34Mom. Mmm.
00:03:38I thought you were gonna say Dad.
00:03:39-Mm-mm. -But, you know, it's a bummer that you can't come with me, Buster, but you need to stay and talk to the cops.
00:03:45[Buster] Cops? What cops?
00:03:46-Why would you bring the cops into this? -They're already looking for you.
00:03:50What? The cops are looking for me?
00:03:52-A cop, actually. -I can't be talking to the cops.
00:03:54-Listen. -I don't do good with the cops.
00:03:56I didn't do anything. I don't know what's going on.
00:03:58-Relax. -I ain't got no truck with no blue.
00:04:00Nothing to worry about.
00:04:01They're looking for Lucille Austero. They want to question you.
00:04:04Why would I know anything about Lucille 2? I hope you didn't say we were dating.
00:04:07Uh, well, I mean, you... you did live with her.
00:04:11Well, I lived with Mother. Did you think we were dating? [chuckles]
00:04:15-Question's been asked. -[whimpers]
00:04:17-Do you actually know where Lucille 2 is? -No!
00:04:20No! A thousand times, no!
00:04:23Is that what they'll ask?
00:04:24'Cause it's not like I'm gonna remember details about where I saw her and what we fought about.
00:04:28Oh, you fought?
00:04:29You kept me from Mother?
00:04:31You sent her to prison?
00:04:33[growls]
00:04:36Should I not say that?
00:04:38-I'm not good with the cops. -Right.
00:04:41What if Lucille 2 doesn't come back?
00:04:43Don't worry about that. She-- I just spoke to her today.
00:04:47-What? In person? -Yeah. Uh, no.
00:04:50On the phone. She's fine.
00:04:51Well, you could've told me that from the beginning.
00:04:53This is not about Lucille 2. This is about teaching Mom
00:04:55-a lesson, you know. -Oh.
00:04:57I mean, she just splits town and assumes I'm gonna take care of everything?
00:05:01You know, this is just a way to, uh...
00:05:02-Give Mom a little scare. -Yeah.
00:05:04Yeah. Let them race back into town and save everyone for a change.
00:05:08There's nothing to worry about.
00:05:09Just Mama's worst nightmare. Buster's missing.
00:05:12Oh, and his bath has gone cold. [laughs]
00:05:15[Ron] Buster was on board.
00:05:17Maybe have a full psych panel while you're in there, too.
00:05:20Oh, those things are so easy to beat.
00:05:23{\an8}[Ron] Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything,
00:05:26{\an8}and the one son who had no choice
00:05:28{\an8}but to keep them all together.
00:05:36{\an8}It's...
00:05:42{\an8}Having traveled south of the border,
00:05:44{\an8}George Sr. and his son G.O.B. found themselves
00:05:47{\an8}at a Mexican singles bar.
00:05:48{\an8}-It's dead. -Yeah. Second place in a row.
00:05:51{\an8}[Ron] Each looking for an excuse for their lack of heterosexual vigor.
00:05:54{\an8}Where are all the blondes? It's just...
00:05:56{\an8}[Ron] But it wasn't a blonde G.O.B. was thinking about.
00:05:59{\an8}His recent rivalry with magician Tony Wonder
00:06:02had blossomed into a kind of friendship...
00:06:06before contracting into a rivalry again.
00:06:09[both] Same.
00:06:10[Ron] Which suddenly became a...
00:06:12oh, let's say, boarding school romance.
00:06:15{\an8}Uh, this place is full of... [sighs]
00:06:18{\an8}cincos and mayos.
00:06:21{\an8}We need to find out whatever the word for ten is.
00:06:23{\an8}-Find that. -It's ten.
00:06:25{\an8}-Every culture uses ten. -Ten.
00:06:27{\an8}[Ron] It wouldn't matter if it was an 11,
00:06:29because George Sr., too, had changed recently...
00:06:32It blew off at the CVS parking lot.
00:06:34...having lost all sexual feeling of late
00:06:37-despite some very progressive therapy. -Hopi Indians believe that this spot...
00:06:41-Okay. -...when manipulated, can create sexual feeling.
00:06:44-That's my penis. -You don't have to tell me.
00:06:46[Ron] Which sent him into his crisis...
00:06:47[doctor] I can get hard, so let's focus on you.
00:06:50...of masculinity.
00:06:51Hey, these are from the ladies across the bar.
00:06:53-They're primas. -[George Sr.] Primos, huh?
00:06:57I've gotta be honest, I've seen better.
00:06:59Huh? Eh.
00:07:01{\an8}No, it means cousins.
00:07:02{\an8}One hates her father, and the other hates her grandfather.
00:07:06{\an8}[Ron] It seemed the cervezas
00:07:08{\an8}weren't the only thing being handed to the guys on a platter.
00:07:12{\an8}I don't know about you, but I'd prefer the thrill of the hunt,
00:07:15{\an8}-as opposed to... -[George Sr.] If we wait,
00:07:17{\an8}something a little better will come along.
00:07:19{\an8}Thank you.
00:07:20{\an8}Not trying to fall head over heels here.
00:07:22{\an8}Yeah. Yeah.
00:07:24{\an8}Not super eager to be, uh, missing somebody.
00:07:26{\an8}-Yeah. -[chuckles] I mean, who you love.
00:07:33{\an8}-Place gives me the creeps. Let's get out. -Yeah. It's dead.
00:07:36{\an8}[Ron] But back in America, Michael was working on a way
00:07:39{\an8}to make his runaway family return.
00:07:42So, we gotta wait about 48 hours before we declare you missing,
00:07:45-and then they put out an APB. -APB.
00:07:47"Aw, poor Buster."
00:07:48-That's nice. -Well...
00:07:49You gotta lay low long enough for Mom and Dad to hear about it.
00:07:52And, pal, I would take you with me, but truth is, I just,
00:07:54I don't know if I'm gonna come back.
00:08:02Oh. [chuckling]
00:08:05What's so funny?
00:08:06You always come back to save the family. We joke about that all the time.
00:08:11Well, I don't know what the joke is. I've been trying to do the right thing.
00:08:15[laughs] "Hi, I'm Michael, and I save everyone so I feel special, even though you don't deserve it.
00:08:21I'm leaving. I won't be coming back."
00:08:22-Buster... -"Oh!
00:08:24Look who's back.
00:08:25I thought we were supposed to go [bleeps] with a [bleeps]."
00:08:28"Mmm, you would know, Mother. You practically invented
00:08:31[bleeps] [bleeps] when you get sauced!" [gasps]
00:08:34"How dare you point that limp [bleeps] hook at me when I saved you from one!
00:08:39I can't believe I pushed you out of my [bleeps], you useless [bleeps] freak!"
00:08:46-[inhales deeply] -Covered a lot of ground there.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:49Although I'm glad I won't be leaving you alone.
00:08:52Oh, I'm going with you?
00:08:53No, I'm going to Mexico or something, and you gotta go to the police station.
00:08:57-Oh, right. Why do they arrest me? -They don't.
00:08:59You go to the police station 'cause you say,
00:09:01"Heard you were looking for me. Here I am."
00:09:03Oh, but you said a cop had questions for me.
00:09:05Mm-hmm. About Lucille 2.
00:09:06And I'm not gonna answer any questions, right?
00:09:08-No. Answer the questions. -When Barry says it's okay.
00:09:11Barry's not there. No attorneys. Just tell the truth.
00:09:13Okay, like, bad example,
00:09:15I saw Lucille 2's lifeless body sprawled across the stair car?
00:09:24Perfect. If that's what happened, tell them.
00:09:26Nothing to be nervous about, okay?
00:09:28Lucille 2 is probably gonna be back from whatever bender she's on.
00:09:31She's gonna be as dry as, uh... well, Lucille 1.
00:09:35I can hear Mother winking now.
00:09:36So, I got some groceries. These are gonna have to last.
00:09:39You already got into the candy bears, huh?
00:09:42[Buster] This is literally one of only two things the Army warns about when they issue these.
00:09:46-Let me help. -I think they spent
00:09:48$27 million on the wrong guy.
00:09:50Don't you say that about you. Well...
00:09:52Maybe you do say that. Maybe that's important to say.
00:09:55[Ron] And certain his mother would have to return
00:09:58to take responsibility for this particular son,
00:10:01Michael went to say goodbye to his own.
00:10:05[knocking on door]
00:10:10-[phone vibrates] -Ooh.
00:10:12Hey, I am outside your door.
00:10:13I was this close to telling you. You inside?
00:10:15[Lucille 2] Hi, it's Lucille Austero.
00:10:17-No! -I've been looking for you.
00:10:20-Note, I mean. -[Lucille 2 chattering]
00:10:21I know, I'd left you a note,
00:10:23-and, can you hear me? -[Lucille 2 continues chattering]
00:10:26Hello? Hello? Here we go again.
00:10:29Getting disconnected.
00:10:30This is why you always... leave a note.
00:10:34Always leave a note.
00:10:36Where's that from?
00:10:38[Ron] Michael discovered a note he'd already written.
00:10:41[Michael] "Are you avoiding me? Ha ha.
00:10:43Leaving town for a while. Love you.
00:10:45-Michael Bluth." -[Ron] It worked well.
00:10:52But perhaps if Michael had taken a few seconds
00:10:55to write an original note before leaving town,
00:10:58he would've run into George Michael, who was coming to see him...
00:11:04only to come across a cousin he didn't recognize.
00:11:07-Hey. Know if anyone's home? -[Steve] Uh, yeah, Buster's in there.
00:11:09But if you're looking for Michael, you just missed him.
00:11:14-[sighs] -Oh, so much for apologizing.
00:11:16I'm telling you, he's moved on.
00:11:18-Okay? You should, too. -[Steve] I just found out my dad went to Mexico without telling me.
00:11:22[chuckles] Welcome to the shitty parents club.
00:11:24-No, no, we don't have kids. -No.
00:11:26[Ron] Although there was a kid
00:11:28that Maeby was eager to get away from.
00:11:30You know, Mexico sounds far from Perfecto.
00:11:33So that's perfect. What do you say? Screw it!
00:11:35No rules. Anything goes.
00:11:37[Ron] A rebounding George Michael found the offer intriguing.
00:11:41-Just the cousins. -Mm-hmm.
00:11:43[Ron] Which turned out to be...
00:11:44-Primos! [laughs] -...this crew.
00:11:48-Why do you keep yelling that? -[laughing] Stop it.
00:11:51Ah.
00:11:55[Ron] Not far away, Michael was also heading to Mexico.
00:11:58And after taking care of one last bit of business...
00:12:01[Michael] It's Buster Bluth, that's right.
00:12:03Uh, yeah, I'm completely sure he's been gone 72 hours.
00:12:06As a matter of fact, his bath has grown cold.
00:12:08So that's, uh, an alarm bell right there.
00:12:11[Ron] ...Michael was ready to hit bottom
00:12:12-and go off the map. -[Michael] Thanks so much.
00:12:14[Ron] But that's hard to do
00:12:16when you're driving a car that makes maps.
00:12:19[Michael] No pictures, thank you!
00:12:20Put your phones down. We take the pictures.
00:12:22[Ron] When the fleet of recovery vans arrived
00:12:25from the search engine Michael had been working for,
00:12:28he discovered that the car that takes the pictures
00:12:31-was no longer under his control. -No! Window up.
00:12:33-Window... -Hi, I'm Dave from Mapping.
00:12:35She's Lisa from Traditional Search.
00:12:38-And that's Jeff. -I'm Jeff from Earth.
00:12:41-Hi. Hi, guys. -[Dave] We heard we had a runaway ostrich, and, uh, we need you to return the car.
00:12:46Oh, yeah. Sorry. Am I under arrest?
00:12:48Oh, no. They never arrest the drivers.
00:12:50They do come down pretty hard on the cars, but it's cheaper to just retrain the people instead.
00:12:55It sounds super futuristic and dystopian, but it's really not.
00:12:58[Ron] Earth was right.
00:13:00Because once he had been escorted back
00:13:02to the impressive campus of company headquarters,
00:13:05Michael found himself settling into a new
00:13:08and generally carefree life,
00:13:10one that couldn't have been farther
00:13:12from the bottom he'd forgotten about hitting.
00:13:14-[Michael grunts] -[Ron] Ironically, Michael's son
00:13:16had also experienced car troubles in Mexico,
00:13:19and he wandered across his grandfather's deserted land
00:13:22hoping to find a spare tire...
00:13:24Can't believe you didn't know who I was.
00:13:25-...and lose a third wheel. -Well, there's nothing we can say.
00:13:29I wouldn't blame you if you took off and you don't come back.
00:13:32Nah.
00:13:33Primos stick together.
00:13:36Oh. "Cousin." It means "cousins."
00:13:38-That makes sense. -[gunfire]
00:13:39[horse neighs]
00:13:40[Ron] But the land proved not to be deserted, after all.
00:13:43[men shouting]
00:13:48[Ron] And as the menacing horsemen descended on the travelers,
00:13:52George Michael found himself tempted
00:13:53to bring up his dust allergies...
00:13:55-We got a lot of dust. -...but hinted at them instead.
00:13:59And they would soon discover...
00:14:00-You are not welcome here. -[horse neighs]
00:14:03Oh, so sorry, we j-- Our car broke down.
00:14:06We thought we might find somebody we know.
00:14:07My grandfather owns this land.
00:14:09That is not what the sign says.
00:14:12♪ Mr. Efe ♪
00:14:15I am the elder here. This is our land.
00:14:18And you would be wise to never be seen here again. Strum!
00:14:22[strums guitar]
00:14:25Now, if you'll excuse us, we must say buenos días.
00:14:28-Vamos, vamos. -Play the guitar, old man!
00:14:31-Strum! Strum! -[playing guitar]
00:14:33[Ron] And George Michael asked the question anyone might.
00:14:36Who were those scary, handsome Mexicans on those magical horses?
00:14:41They just looked like old white men to me.
00:14:43Oh.
00:14:44We should probably get out of here.
00:14:46Yeah, I mean, I've got a big job on Monday, anyway.
00:14:49I was gonna have to leave early, and I didn't know how to tell you.
00:14:52But now we can just all go together.
00:14:55[Ron] And that's when he saw his opening.
00:14:57Never.
00:14:59Never. Are you...?
00:15:01No. I mean, we're Bluths.
00:15:03We're gonna stay. Maeby, too. We're...
00:15:04The two of us are gonna stay.
00:15:06[Ron] And soon, being with his cousin was no longer
00:15:08-an obstacle... -[George Michael] Crazy asshole.
00:15:10...to George Michael's hope of being with his cousin.
00:15:13I was wondering how you were gonna get rid of him.
00:15:15-Was I that obvious? -I just know that you don't like standing up to people on horses with guns.
00:15:19No, I never really was that guy.
00:15:21-Let's find a bar. -Okay. Yeah, I'd love that.
00:15:23[Ron] And so, after getting out of their dusty clothes,
00:15:25the two did just that.
00:15:27And George Michael
00:15:28was soon getting a real feel for the people.
00:15:31Hey. You're not gonna believe this.
00:15:33I met these guys that are actually from Orange County.
00:15:35And two of them also go to UCI.
00:15:37Two of them are named Noah, but not the two that you'd think.
00:15:40-Cool? -Really cool.
00:15:41They're staying here, renting a place while they do this language course.
00:15:44We could stay with them.
00:15:46I'm thinking about heading back.
00:15:47N... Wait, look.
00:15:48If this is about me firing you from Fakeblock, there's something you should know.
00:15:53Fakeblock doesn't actually exist.
00:15:56Are you telling me that the software that's supposed to keep people's computers unhackable and keep any kind of information private doesn't exist?
00:16:08How did you find out?
00:16:09It was easy. I just looked in your computer under "Secrets."
00:16:12Oh, you looked in my "Please Don't Read" folder?
00:16:14No, that one was empty. I found it in "Just Odds and Ends."
00:16:17Great, you got past my double bluff.
00:16:18It's okay, George Michael. You worry too much.
00:16:22Yeah, that keeps me up at night, actually.
00:16:24I just feel like I gotta move on with my life, you know?
00:16:28Find some meaning.
00:16:30Get going with my own goop.
00:16:31Goop? What is goop?
00:16:33If you have to ask, you probably don't know what it is.
00:16:36I don't know what it is.
00:16:37I feel like maybe you don't know what it is.
00:16:39Maybe it's "go-op"?
00:16:41To me, that would make less sense.
00:16:43Maybe that's what "go-op" is.
00:16:45Not everything always making sense.
00:16:49[Ron] It isn't.
00:16:50Meanwhile, George Sr. and G.O.B. continued trying
00:16:53to out-goop each other.
00:16:55I won't tell Mom about all the ladies you're [bleeps] if you don't tell Mom about all the ladies I'm [bleeps].
00:17:01Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look at that one coming up.
00:17:04Where, where? Oh, my God.
00:17:05Oh, she's hot. She's so hot. Dibs!
00:17:08No, no, no, Daddy saw her first.
00:17:10-Daddy dibs. -She got a friend or...?
00:17:12She's got a friend! That's a friend?
00:17:15[G.O.B.] Bush. Trash bag and bush.
00:17:18-Thought it was a woman. -Yeah.
00:17:20-Like, hunched over, right? -Yeah.
00:17:22Like, with the... I wanted to do her so bad.
00:17:25Wow. I mean, I... And I really liked her friend.
00:17:27Me, I liked her, too.
00:17:33-That was a ten-gallon Hefty sack? -Oh, yeah.
00:17:36-Yeah, a ten. Definitely a ten. -Yeah. Yeah. Nice.
00:17:40I like.
00:17:41I like... a ten.
00:17:45[Ron] And Lucille, at the behest of her court-mandated therapist,
00:17:49-was struggling to make sense of things. -Am I horrible for saying these things?
00:17:53No. But I was doing the math, and I still think you're gonna have a problem with this final "raped murderer."
00:18:00But who cares about him?
00:18:02Oh, this is pointless.
00:18:04How many more sessions do I have to endure until I'm done with...
00:18:08-no offense... you? -[chuckles]
00:18:10Legally, two. But I am in the family.
00:18:15I mean... this is my family.
00:18:20My daughter is divorcing you. This is it.
00:18:23I'm confused by the word "it."
00:18:25Are you implying that you don't want to see me anymore?
00:18:28I'm confused by the word "anymore."
00:18:32There are many things I can do for this family.
00:18:34You've lost touch with your daughter. Put me in, for God sakes.
00:18:37-I thought this was my time. -It is your time. Yes, yes.
00:18:41But as your therapist, I'm pointing out that I know that you build these walls to keep out, for instance, your surviving children-in-law.
00:18:47Oh, don't talk to me about walls.
00:18:50That's why we're in this mess.
00:18:52My husband buys land so we can get a contract to build a little something on the border.
00:18:56A-a wall.
00:18:58And we did everything right.
00:19:00[Ron] Well, not everything.
00:19:02They did buy land on the border...
00:19:04-You live here? -...to sell back to the government.
00:19:06-The check. -[Ron] And they paid off
00:19:08-a politician... -I am gonna put this on my wall.
00:19:10...to stir up xenophobia.
00:19:11We have got to build a wall between us and Mexico.
00:19:15-Yeah, yeah. -[Ron] Of course, they made
00:19:17-a few rookie mistakes. -I bribed Love to get the wall, and I don't have the land to build it on!
00:19:23[Ron] Well, they had it.
00:19:24It was just on the wrong side of the border.
00:19:26Which they might have known had George's brother Oscar
00:19:29-not burned the signs. -It's okay to burn these?
00:19:31Well, this is America. They don't want us to burn signs, they shouldn't write 'em in Spanish.
00:19:36[Ron] And so, Lucille did what her own government might do.
00:19:38Who better than the Chinese to help us build a wall, right?
00:19:41-[Ron] She borrowed from the Chinese. -That's good enough.
00:19:44-[crying] -[Ron] Of course, none of this
00:19:46-was okay with the woman... -How dare you?!
00:19:48-...who owned a majority stake... -Lucille...
00:19:50-...in the company. -...Two
00:19:51I can't be running a company that's building a wall
00:19:54I campaigned against!
00:19:55[Ron] And with their politician out of the race,
00:19:57their future looked bleak.
00:19:59So, unless some angel descends on a golden chariot, we're completely over-leveraged.
00:20:04And maybe you don't want to get hurt because, as I say, hurt people... hurt people.
00:20:13Oh, that's nice.
00:20:15I always say, "Make people cry, make people cry."
00:20:19But yours includes the people who don't want to give you the satisfaction.
00:20:23[Ron] Tobias decided to err on the side
00:20:25of Lucille keeping him on as a therapist.
00:20:28You know what, let's lock that in there.
00:20:30And I'd say we've made some real good progress today.
00:20:32Yes. [chuckles] I really think this is working.
00:20:37Swimming!
00:20:38Hurt people, hurt people.
00:20:41[Ron] Lindsay had also made it to Mexico,
00:20:44and was enjoying the fact that men were more respectful.
00:20:46[bartender] Puta Night is Thursday.
00:20:49-That's so nice. No, I'm not. -[Ron] That was based on her belief
00:20:53-that "puta" meant "young." -No. Puta.
00:20:55[whispers] I try to stay out of the sun.
00:20:58[Ron] And that's when she saw what appeared to be
00:21:01-a Mexican version of her father. -[Lindsay] Oh, my God.
00:21:04Lindsay. What are you doing here?
00:21:06Guess I just had to get away.
00:21:08I was just ordering lunch. Can I buy you lunch?
00:21:10Oh, yeah. I'm so hungry, I could eat.
00:21:12[Ron] Lindsay's daughter, meanwhile,
00:21:13discovered that her trip back home...
00:21:15-This is as far as we go. -...took a detour.
00:21:18[Maeby] Oh.
00:21:20-You live here? -No.
00:21:22These people have nothing.
00:21:23We are lucky. We have next to nothing.
00:21:26We are helping these people because nobody else will.
00:21:28They've been kicked out of the only country they've ever known because of the cruelty of your president...
00:21:33Barack Obama.
00:21:35Their old country is their mother, new country is their father.
00:21:38Imagine if your mother and your father did not want you.
00:21:41So, you're trying to, like, teach them a lesson or...?
00:21:43We're volunteers.
00:21:45Who did you think the water was for?
00:21:47Oh. [chuckles] I thought you were just trying to get me to give you a higher Uber rating.
00:21:54[Ron] And Maeby decided to stay and help.
00:22:00George Michael, meanwhile, settled into a different kind
00:22:03of "south of the border" lifestyle.
00:22:05[George Michael] Mexico.
00:22:07It's like being in the Spanish dorms of the UCI sister campus in Spain all over again.
00:22:13[Ron] He was noticing subtle differences in the cuisine.
00:22:16God, the salt is different here.
00:22:17It's fatter or something, right?
00:22:19-We're from Orange County. -[Ron] He reached out to locals.
00:22:21Dude, I'm from San Diego. They want everyone to think we're Mexican.
00:22:24-My name's Noah. -[Ron] He met another Noah.
00:22:26-[George Michael] Noah, get over here. -[Ron] Noah met another Noah.
00:22:29-[laughs] What up, dawg? -[Ron] And soon five,
00:22:31I want to say, indistinguishable Americans
00:22:34-had Mexico on its heels. -You didn't know this was Noah?
00:22:37-[Ron] They saw foreign films. -I'm glad someone had the guts to give the Minions their own movie.
00:22:41It's great because it's subtitled in Spanish, but we don't have to read. It's in English.
00:22:45If you don't want to see 'em, you can block 'em.
00:22:48[Ron] Started trends.
00:22:53They discovered charming native communities...
00:22:57{\an8}where local artisans peddled their wares.
00:23:02-[George Michael sighs] Mexico. -[Ron] Adopted customs
00:23:05like the midday break, or siesta.
00:23:08Yes! Who left the air conditioning on?
00:23:11-Oh, me. I never left. -[Ron] And while George Michael
00:23:13-was enjoying his status quo... -[George Michael] Why'd we go out?
00:23:15...Lucille was on the verge of an emotional breakthrough
00:23:19that could possibly change her life.
00:23:21...and our whole life is turned upside down.
00:23:23This is my time. Your session ended.
00:23:26-[Ron] That's when she heard something... -[shushing]
00:23:28...that would definitely change her life.
00:23:29[reporter] ...candidate descended the escalator into the lobby.
00:23:32I will build a great, great wall on our southern border.
00:23:36-[crowd cheering] -Which was my idea!
00:23:39And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.
00:23:42-[applause] -Okay.
00:23:45That is a clever twist.
00:23:50{\an8}[Ron] Michael had been at Search for a month.
00:23:52{\an8}In that time, he'd developed himself physically...
00:23:55{\an8}And then lunge. Duck, sweep the leg, lunge.
00:23:57...been given a new company car.
00:23:59Ted, I think you see your daughter coming.
00:24:01You're not expecting this, but she's coming in hot
00:24:03-with a right... -[Ron] He'd gotten to teach a class
00:24:06he'd successfully persuaded management to try out.
00:24:09Mona, I know your husband's down, he probably needs medical attention, but you got another son on your flank.
00:24:14And, everybody, we're going to duck, sweep the leg, and lunge.
00:24:17And he comes back again. And we sweep the leg and lunge.
00:24:20That's great. Everybody put down your cactus.
00:24:22Let's all huddle up. Okay, now that you're loose, we're gonna do some Mom Attacks Son, we're gonna do Dad Attacks Daughter, and then we're gonna do Dad Attacks Mom...
00:24:30[Ron] But he still felt something was missing from his life
00:24:32-when he found a way to satisfy a dream. -[Michael] Wow, satisfy an old dream.
00:24:36Boy, do you really have to spend 1,000 bucks on the gear, though?
00:24:39-Not if you have your own. -Mm.
00:24:41Yeah. Yeah, well, not here, but I could drive home and get it.
00:24:46Course, I could see my family.
00:24:47[Ron] A family Michael hadn't seen in some time.
00:24:50So he decided...
00:24:52Ah, what the heck. For 1,000 bucks, it's worth the risk, huh?
00:24:58[Ron] Michael returned to a model home he left in some disgrace.
00:25:02And he wasn't particularly proud of what he did next.
00:25:05[in Spanish accent] Hola. Window cleaner!
00:25:12[Buster] I shall be neither seen nor heard.
00:25:14-[Tobias] I blue myself. -[Lindsay] It's vodka.
00:25:16It goes bad once it's opened.
00:25:18[G.O.B.] I heard the jury's still out on science.
00:25:20-[Ron] It was an emotional moment. -[Michael] Window cleaner!
00:25:24[Ron] Until right at the end there.
00:25:27And that's when he found a letter from Lucille 2.
00:25:40[in normal voice] She forgave the debt.
00:25:43[Ron] And feeling bad that he'd been forgiven by someone
00:25:46he wanted to forget, he decided to thank her in person.
00:25:54But, tired of hiding, he decided
00:25:56-to say hello to his own family. -Hello?
00:26:01[G.O.B.] Speech! Speech!
00:26:02[Lucille] You're my third least favorite child.
00:26:04[Buster] ...like a Motherboy Ball.
00:26:06[Ron] And when they weren't home, he found himself missing them.
00:26:09[George Michael] I should ask if she wants to get pre-pre-engaged.
00:26:13-Lucille 2? -[Lucille] I want that pie covered.
00:26:16-And not with your face. -Hello?
00:26:18-[squeals] Told you he'd come! -[George Sr.] Hey!
00:26:21-It's on, it's on, it's on. -[excited chatter]
00:26:24-Look at him fighting me! -G.O.B.!
00:26:25-I haven't seen you in a year! -It's been two months. Get your hands off.
00:26:28Oh, yeah? What's the last thing you remember us doing?
00:26:31-What do you remember? -What? No.
00:26:33[thud]
00:26:36-[George Sr.] Enough! -[Ron] Michael Bluth
00:26:38-gets up. -A lot of hands down there.
00:26:40-They weren't my hands. -[chuckles] Oh. Okay.
00:26:42Harmless bathhousing amongst brothers, yes?
00:26:45-[chuckles] -[Ron] And George Michael dips his toe
00:26:47-into the Mexican nightlife. -Guys, it's 9:00.
00:26:50Gives us 30 minutes till they shut down that last machine at Pinkberry.
00:26:53-[overlapping chatter] -[George Michael] Mexico.
