00:00:01Oh
00:00:14Sorry
00:00:20Hi, hi
00:00:22I like who you are. What do you mean? You're just so American
00:00:52You two are too young to get married. Stop with this stupid idea.
00:00:57One day I'll have the courage to tell you how much you've made me feel.
00:01:02Is Jose Spanish for Joseph?
00:01:07Yes, it is.
00:01:10Joseph is a nice name.
00:01:18I want to see him! I love him!
00:01:20It was a pleasure to meet you.
00:01:22Come on, let's go.
00:01:26It's okay. It's okay.
00:01:32We don't need her. All we need is each other.
00:01:35I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:01:38It's like a dream. I'm kidding, Menendez.
00:01:43It is a dream. It's the American dream.
00:01:46I'm going to give you everything, more than you thought was possible.
00:02:06I hate my kids.
00:02:09May as well come out and say it.
00:02:12You're going to get it out of me at some point.
00:02:15They're parasites, actually.
00:02:19Not just my kids, kids in general.
00:02:23They strip the calcium from your bones as they grow inside you.
00:02:28They wreck your body as they eat you alive.
00:02:34My kids? I don't know, Lyle.
00:02:38You can't just quit. You only work there for one month.
00:02:40Mom, mom, mom! I can find more fucking money than that in my goddamn laundry hamper!
00:02:46Do you realize that?
00:02:51Lyle scares me.
00:02:54Eric's just...
00:03:00Fuck!
00:03:07Eric's pathetic.
00:03:11Still, I do care about them in my own way. So much.
00:03:17When they're fast asleep, I can still feel connected to them.
00:03:23The umbilical cord still holding us together.
00:03:28In the deep of the night, I can remember them as little boys.
00:03:33And then I can feel love for them again.
00:03:40But most days, I hardly recognize them.
00:03:48It's like I'm looking through my life through fogged up glass.
00:03:54There's distance between us.
00:03:57And my husband?
00:04:01Excluded.
00:04:03I never get enough from Jose, is all.
00:04:06I had Lyle and Eric, and they took Jose away from me.
00:04:10Those boys are always trying to steal the love of my life.
00:04:16Those boys and that one woman he's been fucking.
00:04:19Louise, I think her name is. They've been on and off again for years.
00:04:23And I get it. I really do.
00:04:26He's just trying to escape the chaos at home.
00:04:31The chaos that is Lyle and Eric.
00:04:34And the only thing I have going for me is renovating the house.
00:04:37It's gonna be beautiful.
00:04:38Jose is letting me do whatever I want.
00:04:42And I have a facelift scheduled for next week, which I'm oddly optimistic about.
00:04:48I hope it settles before the holidays.
00:04:51I think Jose will like it.
00:04:55A little tune-up before Christmas.
00:04:58What about this one?
00:05:00It's nice.
00:05:02No, the green is too traditional, huh?
00:05:09You know, I got a fucking facelift for you and you don't even say anything?
00:05:13I have to go.
00:05:15I'm sorry.
00:05:17I'm sorry.
00:05:19I'm sorry.
00:05:21I'm sorry.
00:05:23I'm sorry.
00:05:24I got a fucking facelift for you and you don't even say anything?
00:05:27I said it when I paid for the plastic surgery.
00:05:30And you look great. You look refreshed.
00:05:33You look beautiful.
00:05:35But you have to take care of your body, please.
00:05:38I don't want you to lose nine pounds.
00:05:44Where are the boys? I told them. I told them. I said don't be late.
00:05:47Well, we still have time to switch up the trees then, okay?
00:05:50We need one in every room. Sorry, I'm gonna need your help.
00:05:52The green one is nice. Let's just stick with that one. Come on.
00:05:55No, it's Christmas Eve.
00:05:57It has to be perfect. Not just nice, but perfect.
00:06:02Shit. They're here.
00:06:06Don't let them in yet!
00:06:08Don't let them in yet!
00:06:10Where have you been? I told you.
00:06:12What are you talking about? We're at a Christmas party.
00:06:15I told you we were gonna do presents tonight because Lyle's got a tournament tomorrow.
00:06:18Yeah, it's Christmas Eve. Come on.
00:06:19Hold on. It's Christmas Eve, I know.
00:06:22But they've got tennis in the morning. It's their holiday tournament.
00:06:26Which is why we're doing presents tonight and why I told you to be on time.
00:06:31Okay?
00:06:34Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho! Merry Christmas!
00:06:38Oh, here he is. Looking so handsome, Santa.
00:06:44Merry Christmas. This is for you, my darling.
00:06:47Oh, darling.
00:06:49Are you married?
00:06:51Yeah, Mom. How could you do that to Mrs. Claus?
00:06:53That's for you.
00:06:55That's for you.
00:06:57Wow. A book.
00:06:59Great.
00:07:03Did you get something for your mom?
00:07:06No. No one told us that we were doing presents this year.
00:07:09Yes, I did. I told you it's fucking Christmas. We give gifts on Christmas.
00:07:13Ho, ho, ho!
00:07:16Open it. Open it. Open it.
00:07:20Oh, it's so beautiful, honey.
00:07:24But is that all that's in there?
00:07:26What?
00:07:28I'm asking if it's that all that's in there.
00:07:33Oh, my God! A car! A Mercedes-Benz!
00:07:38Santa!
00:07:41What? Santa?
00:07:43Oh, I have to see.
00:07:45Look at her.
00:07:50Oh!
00:07:52A convertible!
00:07:54Oh, my God! I have to go show Alicia. I'll be right back, okay?
00:07:58That's love right there. That's love.
00:08:00Okay, open yours.
00:08:03It's really nice that Mom gets a Mercedes and that we get books.
00:08:07That's very thoughtful of you, Dad.
00:08:09Yep. It's a book.
00:08:12When your mother and I first moved to New York, the only job I could get was a dishwasher.
00:08:18New York royalty in Cuba and a fucking servant in America, right?
00:08:23Cleaning the saliva and the filth off other people's plates.
00:08:26But that was the only place that could hire me.
00:08:29And the manager had a copy of that book.
00:08:32And I would read it on breaks, non-stop.
00:08:35And this became my Bible on how to become someone in this country.
00:08:40Why are there so many passages that are blacked out?
00:08:43Well, I blacked out all the bullshit because there's a lot of bullshit in there.
00:08:45But what I left, those words, all you have to do, listen to me.
00:08:51All you have to do is learn them. Commit them to heart.
00:08:55Today I'll be master of my emotions.
00:08:58Today I will be master of my emotions.
00:09:00From this moment, I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me.
00:09:06I will control my moods through positive action.
00:09:10And when I control my moods, I control my destiny.
00:09:15Okay, boys.
00:09:23Hello.
00:09:24Is this Jose Menendez?
00:09:25Yes, it's Jose Menendez.
00:09:26Mr. Menendez, this is Detective Mills. I'm with the L.A. County Sheriff.
00:09:29Hi. Hello, sir. How can I help you?
00:09:32Well, sir, your boys are here.
00:09:35My boys? What do you mean, my boys? My sons?
00:09:38Yes. Sir, we arrested them this morning.
00:09:41We have reason to believe they're involved in a series of burglaries here in the area.
00:09:45Okay.
00:10:09Bad Widow?
00:10:10Bad.
00:10:11What do you mean, bad?
00:10:12We didn't rob those houses, okay? We didn't.
00:10:16Okay.
00:10:29Dad, Eric and I just...
00:10:30We know you had to leave work. We're sorry.
00:10:33We want to tell you how much we appreciate it.
00:10:38God, fuck!
00:10:41Fuck.
00:10:45Fuck.
00:10:58They ain't the fucking gone!
00:11:05Stay...
00:11:06Stay away from me, please.
00:11:10Hey.
00:11:16Hey.
00:11:22See how the pond is here?
00:11:24I want it here.
00:11:27You want me to move the koi pond two feet?
00:11:29Okay.
00:11:30Well, uh...
00:11:31Well, just this and a new shower room, we're doubling our budget.
00:11:34What shower room?
00:11:35We're not doing a shower room.
00:11:38The one your husband wants. Big shower room with all the shower heads?
00:11:41Like a Roman bath, he said.
00:11:46Fuck.
00:11:55We're moving. We're moving.
00:11:57I found the house in Beverly Hills.
00:11:59We are out of here in one week.
00:12:00What? Because of the mold?
00:12:02Jose, that's insane. It was just a little bit of mold.
00:12:04Not because of the mold. Because of our sons, Kitty.
00:12:06Because they're felons. They're criminals.
00:12:08They are running a felonious gang here in Calabasas.
00:12:11I mean, the Menendez name is ruined. Ruined.
00:12:14Ruined in this town.
00:12:17We need a fresh start where no one knows us
00:12:19and I can supervise this rehabilitation of us as a family.
00:12:24I'm fucking mortified, Kitty.
00:12:26This is my dream home.
00:12:28Keep it. You keep doing the renovations.
00:12:31We go to Beverly Hills until Eric goes off to college
00:12:34and then we come back here in a couple of years.
00:12:35I mean, by that time, I hope the shame those boys have brought on my name
00:12:39will be a distant memory and I can walk down my own fucking street
00:12:43without worrying about these guys.
00:12:44Hi, Michael. Nice to see you. How you doing?
00:12:46Okay. I know. I know, honey.
00:12:50But start packing. Start packing.
00:13:14Hold this.
00:13:15Wait. Not there. Not there. In the den, please.
00:13:34Hello?
00:13:35Hello. It's Jose Menendez.
00:13:38When my sons tell you they are not to be trusted,
00:13:41they are not to be trusted.
00:13:42They are liars, they are fabulists, they are sociopaths,
00:13:45and I need you to know that, okay?
00:13:47I'm bringing them to you because the court says I have to,
00:13:50and I hope you can fix them.
00:13:52I'm not sure anyone can at this moment,
00:13:55but good luck. See you tomorrow. Bye.
00:13:57See you tomorrow. Bye.
00:14:07Those burglaries were, I think in many ways, a cry for help.
00:14:16We've just been through a lot.
00:14:18Yeah. And, uh...
00:14:21I mean, home isn't always the easiest, so...
00:14:24And what about home isn't easy?
00:14:26Yes, what about home isn't easy? What?
00:14:29The clothes? What is it?
00:14:31Is it hard to buy thousands of dollars in clothes and shoes?
00:14:37No, Mr. Menendez...
00:14:38Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.
00:14:40I'm paying you. You know that, doctor.
00:14:42Is it hard that your mother and I have given you every fucking opportunity?
00:14:48Is it even harder for you guys to have everything you want,
00:14:53everything you need?
00:14:54I don't get the fucking thing.
00:14:57Okay.
00:14:59Doctor...
00:15:01God, you both are a joke.
00:15:05You're a joke. You're a fucking joke.
00:15:07Come on. Stand up.
00:15:10You, stand up. We're going to Mr. Chow's.
00:15:17Okay.
00:15:18Have fun with them, doctor.
00:15:20They are bright and jolly, those kids.
00:15:25You want to go over it again?
00:15:28Yeah, yeah. Why not?
00:15:31The members of Menudo are kids.
00:15:33What happens when they grow up, or worse, ask for more money?
00:15:37When a member of Menudo's voice changes,
00:15:40he gets replaced by a younger performer.
00:15:44When a member of Menudo asks for more money,
00:15:47he gets replaced by another performer.
00:15:49Did I do this to them?
00:15:52My kids, did I make them this way, you think?
00:15:58What way?
00:15:59Just a complete, useless, lazy fuck-ups.
00:16:03Is that my fault?
00:16:05How is it your fault?
00:16:06Come on. You know what I'm talking about.
00:16:08When I came to this country, I was 16 years old.
00:16:1116 years old.
00:16:13I mean, my family put me on a plane.
00:16:16I had nothing.
00:16:17I knew one person here.
00:16:21I mean, and sorry.
00:16:25You've heard this story a million times, right?
00:16:28Actually, I haven't.
00:16:30When you love your wife, when you love your children,
00:16:32when you are working from the bottom,
00:16:34like, I couldn't speak English,
00:16:35and I bust tables, I clean floors, whatever,
00:16:38and you meet the woman you love,
00:16:40and she's going to give you two beautiful children,
00:16:43she's going to give you two beautiful children,
00:16:46two sons.
00:16:48And then you feel so grateful to her, to this country,
00:16:52and you want to give them everything you are,
00:16:54everything you have, you own.
00:16:56But then, from them, all I get,
00:17:00all I see is this entitlement,
00:17:03and you fought, and you fought,
00:17:06you fucking fought for all of it,
00:17:08but they just wanted,
00:17:10simply handed to them on a silver platter
00:17:12with silver spoons to put in their fucking greedy mouths
00:17:14with no struggle, no effort, no sacrifice.
00:17:16I mean, I am ashamed of them.
00:17:18I'm ashamed of myself, of the way I raised them.
00:17:23I mean, they got to reach that.
00:17:25Sorry. Sorry.
00:17:28But what they got is a life completely fucking backwards.
00:17:31That's what they got.
00:17:32You're not a bad dad, Jose.
00:17:35If you don't mind me saying,
00:17:36you're tough with them sometimes, sure, but...
00:17:38But what other choice do I have at this point, in this moment?
00:17:41Tell me.
00:17:42You think I like being like that?
00:17:45You think I like screaming at them?
00:17:47You think, I mean, no, I don't.
00:17:49I don't, but if I don't shout, if I don't threaten them,
00:17:52those motherfuckers don't listen,
00:17:54and they break into people's houses,
00:17:56and they sell people's family heirlooms.
00:17:58I mean, what the fuck is that?
00:18:00You didn't do that.
00:18:02Didn't I do that?
00:18:05I don't know. I think I did.
00:18:08I don't think I did. I don't, yeah.
00:18:11Fuck.
00:18:14Fuck.
00:18:30Where do I go from here, Marcin?
00:18:34With everything?
00:18:38With all of it.
00:18:40Justice isn't working. It's not working.
00:18:45It's not working.
00:18:47Where the fuck do we go with that?
00:18:57What are you doing?
00:18:59I'm just having some coffee.
00:19:01Sweetheart, it was 5.30 in the morning.
00:19:05I don't love you, Kitty.
00:19:08I don't love our sons.
00:19:11I don't love this family.
00:19:13I think this family is a fucking failure.
00:19:17I am a failure, but darling,
00:19:20my God, you, you're a failure.
00:19:23You're a drunk. You're a pill popper.
00:19:25Stop it.
00:19:26You know, I was never in love with you.
00:19:29I just wanted to have a family, that's all.
00:19:32That was my dream.
00:19:34You know what?
00:19:36The dream has failed.
00:19:38Fuck.
00:19:40Why are you doing this?
00:19:42I'm about to get on a plane to go to New York.
00:19:46But I make more money for this family
00:19:48because that's what this family needs.
00:19:50More money, money, money.
00:19:51And you know what? I can't lie anymore.
00:19:53I can't lie and tell you that I love you when I don't.
00:19:55I can't lie and tell you that I love this family when I don't.
00:19:57I can't.
00:19:58You must be drunk if you're saying all this.
00:20:00I'm not drunk. I'm not drunk.
00:20:03I'm sorry.
00:20:04I mean every word of it.
00:20:06Kitty.
00:20:08I mean it.
00:20:10Well, thanks a lot, Jose.
00:20:13Say hi to that girlfriend of yours.
00:20:14You say you're tired of lying.
00:20:15Well, why keep that lie up, huh?
00:20:17And you're standing there with a straight face
00:20:19telling me you never loved me?
00:20:20Shame on you. That is a lie.
00:20:22Shh.
00:20:23You loved me the moment you laid eyes on me,
00:20:25Jose Menendez.
00:20:28You loved me with every fiber of your being.
00:20:30You adored me.
00:20:32Everything about me you loved.
00:20:35Just don't stand there and say you didn't,
00:20:37because you did.
00:20:41And I do not look good.
00:20:43I am a wreck.
00:20:46I can't handle our boys.
00:20:49Lyle scares the shit out of me.
00:20:54And I tried to kill myself, you know?
00:20:57And it didn't work, right?
00:20:59I failed.
00:21:00That, I failed at.
00:21:03I took all those pills and then I just woke right up.
00:21:05Feeling great, by the way.
00:21:07Like I had some fantastic fucking nap.
00:21:11And now, every day, I just try and make it through
00:21:15without thinking about killing myself.
00:21:16I can't remember the last time it was.
00:21:18A couple years ago, maybe on Christmas.
00:21:19I don't even fucking know.
00:21:21Because every day since you dragged me
00:21:23to goddamn Beverly Hills,
00:21:26away from any friends I ever had in the world,
00:21:29you handed me a credit card to make it all better.
00:21:34Every day, I have wanted to be dead.
00:21:39Kitty.
00:21:44Come on, go back to sleep.
00:21:52Hmm.
00:21:53You're the new guy.
00:21:55You don't know anything about music.
00:21:57Where did you work before RCA?
00:22:00Hertz.
00:22:03You're the guy who rents cars.
00:22:05Why did they send a guy who rents cars to negotiate with me?
00:22:09Well, because Latin music is going to grow 400% by the year 1990
00:22:14because I'm Cuban and my name is José Menéndez
00:22:16and I'm going to make you an offer of 30 million dollars
00:22:18to sign a contract with RCA Records.
00:22:20What do you think?
00:22:22Ah, asshole.
00:22:24You're talking nonsense.
00:22:26You almost got me.
00:22:27You had me.
00:22:28But look here.
00:22:29What's the offer?
00:22:30Now I'm serious.
00:22:32I'm serious.
00:22:33The offer is 30 million dollars.
00:22:35What do you think?
00:22:37You know who Iran's Shah is?
00:22:39Well, I'll give you his plane if you want.
00:22:42I want him everywhere.
00:22:44I want him in the Coca-Cola machine,
00:22:47in the fire station, in the toys.
00:22:50I want him to be the biggest group in the world.
00:22:5330 million. What do you say?
00:23:00Well, let's see.
00:23:02That's it.
00:23:06Absolutely. Yes, I close the fucking deal.
00:23:10I know.
00:23:11Yo, you're welcome.
00:23:13Sure. Bye.
00:23:23Do you use soap?
00:23:26What do you mean, did I use soap?
00:23:28You told me to take a shower.
00:23:30And? Do you use soap?
00:23:33Yes.
00:23:34Okay.
00:23:42So, you're a businessman, yeah?
00:23:45Sounds like you just closed a big deal.
00:23:47Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop talking.
00:23:49Stop talking.
00:23:52I'm different from most of your clients.
00:23:56I don't do this much.
00:23:59You'd be surprised.
00:24:02Okay, what do you know about ancient Rome?
00:24:05The Greeks? The Spartans?
00:24:07They created this...
00:24:10man in different ways than we do now.
00:24:13By fucking each other.
00:24:14Oh, my God.
00:24:16How cheap is that?
00:24:17Someone like you don't get it.
00:24:20I mean, you're labeling something.
00:24:22That's not what the Romans did.
00:24:23Okay, what did they do?
00:24:25They bonded with each other.
00:24:27Learned what pain was.
00:24:30What it took to put up with real fucking pain.
00:24:33They spent the whole time together.
00:24:35They did everything together.
00:24:36They loved each other.
00:24:37They couldn't stand to lose a fellow soldier in battle.
00:24:40Because losing a fellow soldier was like losing themselves.
00:24:43And out of this, they built this amazing fucking fighting force
00:24:47that the world has ever seen again, you know?
00:24:51And all of this happened very naturally.
00:24:54With soldiers teaching each other how to be a real man.
00:25:01Okay, if that's what you want to call it.
00:25:03No, no, no, no, no. Sit down. Sit down.
00:25:05Come on, none of that faggot shit.
00:25:09I don't like those words. I don't like those words.
00:25:14Do those words make you want to hit me?
00:25:22Yeah, they do.
00:25:30Give me your tourniquet.
00:25:33I want you to get on all fours.
00:25:37And crawl over here.
00:25:42And...
00:25:46Take my tunic off with your mouth.
00:25:51Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:55Okay, let's fucking go. Go, go.
00:25:58Okay, let's fucking go. Go, go.
00:26:04Come on.
00:26:11Fuck.
00:26:14Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on!
00:26:17Yeah! Yeah!
00:26:19Good evening, mother. Good evening, father.
00:26:22His voice is of attempted compassion,
00:26:24but the hatred completely overwhelms it.
00:26:27All light is extinguished,
00:26:28and the camera glides down the stairs as scrams are heard.
00:26:31Wait, wait, wait. Scrams? It's supposed to be screams.
00:26:33Oh, yeah.
00:26:37Mom, you wrote scrams and not screams.
00:26:40What the fuck?
00:26:41Now we have to retype this whole fucking page!
00:26:44Calm down.
00:26:45What do you mean we have to retype it?
00:26:47I'm the one doing the transcribing and typing.
00:26:49Look, you wrote scrams. I just type what you wrote.
00:26:52Damn, bro. Mom just burned your ass.
00:26:54Mom, you have to be proofing this before we read it,
00:26:58because now we have to type it again!
00:27:00That's true, Mom. I mean, you're constantly fucking things up.
00:27:02I mean, Jesus Christ.
00:27:03You boys can't talk to me like this.
00:27:05You always gang up on me when your father's out of town on business.
00:27:08I can't take it anymore.
00:27:10You two are burglars.
00:27:11Both of you are psychopaths.
00:27:13I should poison us all and put myself out of my misery.
00:27:16Mom, chill.
00:27:17Shut up!
00:27:18You are an asshole and a ruiner of lives.
00:27:21You can type your own script from now on.
00:27:23And Craig, you can't stay for supper.
00:27:25Sorry, I am not a restaurant.
00:27:39What the fuck is in this?
00:27:40What do you mean? It's ragu.
00:27:42No, it's got like...
00:27:43Eric, don't eat that.
00:27:45It's like cinnamon.
00:27:46Mom, did you put some fucking shit in this, Eric?
00:27:48What are you talking about?
00:27:51Did you poison us?
00:27:53I just made everyone dinner.
00:27:55No, fuck that.
00:27:56You said that you were going to fucking poison us and you fucking did it.
00:27:58I was joking.
00:28:00Eric, come on, now.
00:28:01It's just...
00:28:02We're going to Hamburger Hamlet.
00:28:03Maybe I should poison you.
00:28:08Finally, you're looking at me with some fear and respect.
00:28:11Maybe I should poison you.
00:28:13Maybe I should poison you.
00:28:44Shh.
00:28:46Shh.
00:28:56Ham.
00:29:03Ham.
00:29:08Ham.
00:29:09So, Hamburger?
00:29:10Yeah.
00:29:13Ah.
00:29:26Hello, hello.
00:29:29Hey.
00:29:36Hi.
00:29:38It is over with her.
00:29:40It's over. It's done.
00:29:42I'm going back to my wife.
00:29:43Your wife, the stalker?
00:29:45The psycho you can't bear to fuck anymore?
00:29:47Well, you know what happened?
00:29:52I signed my new book.
00:29:58And congratulations.
00:29:59Sounds like a very productive trip.
00:30:03How are you doing?
00:30:05What happened with the boys?
00:30:06Eric called me.
00:30:07Had paged me in the United Airlines lounge before the flight.
00:30:12He was very upset.
00:30:14What happened between you and the boys?
00:30:17I am making positive changes for this family.
00:30:21Okay? And I need you to do the same.
00:30:23Stop taking so many fucking pills.
00:30:25They're going to turn you into an epileptic.
00:30:27It's my anger. It overwhelms me.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:38I will help you.
00:30:41You will?
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:44Okay, how?
00:30:46What was the thing you said last year about the couples counselor?
00:30:53You still want to?
00:30:54Okay, let's do it. Let's go.
00:30:56You find a good one and we go.
00:30:59I'm going to fix this family.
00:31:02Now I'm going to take care of those two kids upstairs.
00:31:06Yes.
00:31:08Wake up!
00:31:09Wake the fuck up!
00:31:11Wake up!
00:31:12Put your clothes on.
00:31:13Come on, wake up.
00:31:27Hi.
00:31:29I know who you are.
00:31:36I don't...
00:31:37You don't even know how to say sorry?
00:31:39What would you say roughly was the dollar amount of the items that were stolen from you?
00:31:42That we stole from you?
00:31:43That we stole from you.
00:31:49Hi.
00:31:51I robbed your house.
00:31:54I'm sorry.
00:31:56I shouldn't have done that.
00:31:57I'm really sorry.
00:31:59So, the only way to do this, Eric, you have to get in the fall for all of it, okay?
00:32:04Wait, what?
00:32:05You're going to tell that therapist you're saying that these crimes were all your idea
00:32:09and then you're going to tell the police.
00:32:10You're a minor, Eric.
00:32:11I'm 21.
00:32:12This could fuck up my entire life.
00:32:13That's not fair!
00:32:14You're going to do some community service.
00:32:16I'm going to pick up trash on the highway for a few weeks.
00:32:18I mean, who fucking cares?
00:32:19It's easy.
00:32:20Stop bitching and moaning about it.
00:32:21Lyle hasn't completely destroyed his life yet.
00:32:24Yet.
00:32:25He still has a chance.
00:32:27But we need a clean record for that.
00:32:29And a degree from Princeton, by the way.
00:32:31Okay.
00:32:32And then there will be business and politics.
00:32:34And it was your idea anyway, Eric.
00:32:36I mean, it really was.
00:32:37Damn it.
00:32:47So, obviously I haven't been the father you needed.
00:32:51That is obvious.
00:32:52But, uh, that changes.
00:32:55Right now.
00:32:56I'm going to get you out of this.
00:32:58But this is the last time.
00:32:59Hey!
00:33:00Both of you.
00:33:01Do you hear me?
00:33:02No more handouts.
00:33:05You're on your own.
00:33:13Do you have a minute?
00:33:14Sure.
00:33:15Just wondering if you're planning on calling Jack back.
00:33:17He's, uh, I think it's the Minuto numbers this quarter.
00:33:20He needs you to walk him through it again.
00:33:22You like Miami?
00:33:24Yeah, sure.
00:33:25But you like it enough to move there?
00:33:28Sit down.
00:33:30One more.
00:33:31Twenty million dollar deal.
00:33:32That's all I need.
00:33:33And then, boom.
00:33:34I'm going to Florida.
00:33:36I buy a compound.
00:33:39I run for Senate.
00:33:40I take down fucking Fidel Castro.
00:33:42Like, fuck.
00:33:43Buena.
00:33:44And, uh, I could use your help.
00:33:46Would you like to come with me?
00:33:48I mean, you don't have to tell me right now.
00:33:50But just think about it.
00:33:51I give you a musical.
00:33:52I give you a musical.
00:33:53I give you a musical.
00:33:54I give you a musical.
00:33:55I give you a musical.
00:33:56I give you music in the air everywhere you go.
00:34:07I thought I was going to be like Joe Kennedy
00:34:11paving the way for my kids to go into politics.
00:34:14But, uh, no.
00:34:17No.
00:34:19Not these kids, no.
00:34:22Well, anyway, so.
00:34:25If I want the American dream,
00:34:27I'm going to do it myself.
00:34:29For myself.
00:34:30So think about it.
00:34:32And keep it between us.
00:34:33Take this away from me, please.
00:34:37And give me Jack.
00:34:38I'll call him right now.
00:34:40Because, Marcy, you want to know a secret?
00:34:43Sure.
00:34:45I don't know the first thing about the music industry.
00:34:55Here.
00:34:56What are we watching tonight?
00:34:58L.A. Law.
00:34:59Okay.
00:35:05Look at us.
00:35:08A couple of fatties.
00:35:09Quitting smoking.
00:35:10Mainlining sugar.
00:35:13It's nice we're doing something fun together.
00:35:18I can't be seen smoking in public.
00:35:20I'm running as an elected official.
00:35:22I can't.
00:35:24It's a dirty habit.
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:26I heard even Nancy Brigham smokes in private.
00:35:29Oh.
00:35:36I don't know what's going on.
00:35:42Is that Menendez?
00:35:43Hello, Mr. Menendez.
00:35:44I'm Charles Deere, Dean of Students at Princeton.
00:35:47Yeah.
00:35:48Do you have a minute?
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:51Yeah.
00:35:58Marcy, book me a flight to Newark.
00:36:00I'm taking the limo to the airport.
00:36:09We have a strict code when it comes to cheating.
00:36:13I just don't have a lot of flexibility here.
00:36:16Lyle here is going to have to be suspended from Princeton,
00:36:19pending a board review.
00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:26Dad.
00:36:27I didn't fucking cheat.
00:36:28Okay.
00:36:29I swear.
00:36:30I swear I did not fucking cheat.
00:36:31Do not speak to me.
00:36:32Do not speak to me, Lyle.
00:36:33Please.
00:36:41Do you know what this is?
00:36:43This is the burial plot I bought for our family here near Princeton.
00:36:47Robert Cleveland, Aaron Burr.
00:36:50You know who they were?
00:36:52Yeah.
00:36:53They were presidents.
00:36:57Do you think you deserve to be buried here in this kind of company,
00:37:03where American men brought feelings of pride to their families?
00:37:09Do you feel you are worthy of the name Menendez?
00:37:12I don't know what you want me to say.
00:37:14No, Dad.
00:37:15I do not.
00:37:18How is that?
00:37:23What are you, Lyle?
00:37:24Are you a bad seed or a bad egg or something?
00:37:27What are you?
00:37:30I just wanted things for you.
00:37:31That was the problem.
00:37:33Because you were always going to do the opposite, obviously.
00:37:36So I should have not wanted that shit for you,
00:37:39and then you would have had to prove me wrong.
00:37:41Are you actually asking me that?
00:37:43Yes.
00:37:44Why I am the way that I am, Eric, and I both?
00:37:46Are you genuinely curious about that?
00:37:52What about all the times that you hit us or called us worthless in front of other people?
00:37:56Yeah, what about it?
00:37:57You want me to say it?
00:38:00That's abuse.
00:38:02Dad.
00:38:04That's abuse.
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:07And what about it?
00:38:08What about it?
00:38:09Yeah, what about it?
00:38:10I hate you.
00:38:11I hate you.
00:38:12Whatever the fuck else.
00:38:13What about it?
00:38:14That's why you're a loser?
00:38:20Do you remember the first dog we had?
00:38:23Khan?
00:38:24He was a fucking terrible dog.
00:38:25I fucking hated that dog.
00:38:27Anyway, I went to the pet shop to buy one of those collars that have spikes on them or pins,
00:38:32but they were not poking out.
00:38:34They were poking in.
00:38:35So when it tightens, it immediately pinches the dog's neck, right?
00:38:40And you tug on the leash and the dog feels it, right?
00:38:44The slightest tug, dog feels it and knows what you want, which is to stop.
00:38:49And when you walk the dog and the dog wants to run or pull or whatever,
00:38:53you tug on the leash and it hurts.
00:38:55But it only hurts when it disobeys.
00:38:58If the dog behaves and that's what the owner wants, the collar doesn't hurt.
00:39:02So after a while, he goes back to a regular collar and that's it.
00:39:07Now, my son, a lot of people out there think that those collars are cruel.
00:39:15I think it's the other collars that are cruel.
00:39:19Because they create dogs that misbehave, pull,
00:39:23and are completely fucking lost in who they are and what they are supposed to do.
00:39:29So you know what I think when you complain that I hit you?
00:39:36I think that I didn't hit you hard enough, Lyle.
00:39:41The way my father hit me.
00:39:46He hit me so hard my head would drop for days and days.
00:39:51I mean, it was fucking painful.
00:39:55But I knew exactly what was expected of me, right?
00:40:01So as a father that loves you, Lyle, I'm really sorry I didn't hit you hard enough.
00:40:10That is my fault.
00:40:13And I'm sorry.
00:40:31Eric, get in here.
00:40:34Come, come, sit down.
00:40:40Sit.
00:40:45Okay, so here.
00:40:48This is for your athlete's foot.
00:40:50I called several doctors and told them about your problem.
00:40:53They said over-the-counter it wasn't strong enough, so I got you this prescription.
00:40:57Prescription? It's a very powerful prescription, but I don't know.
00:41:01Put it on.
00:41:04Put it on how?
00:41:06You rub it between your toes, and you rub it deep so it kills the fungus.
00:41:11Is there a spray? Can I spray it on?
00:41:13Boy, it's a medicinal cream.
00:41:16My God.
00:41:20Take off your shoes and socks.
00:41:24This is basic stuff.
00:41:26Eric, how do you not know this?
00:41:29Okay, I'll show you.
00:41:31Here.
00:41:37Well, I remember when you were a baby.
00:41:41The only thing, the only thing that would make you sleep was rubbing your feet, actually.
00:41:47They were so tiny, tiny, tiny.
00:41:50Now look at this.
00:41:52It stings a little.
00:41:54It's supposed to sting. That means it's working.
00:41:56Right.
00:41:58Okay, so just letting you know what we're going to do here because I don't trust your judgment.
00:42:05Did you think you were going to play tennis in college because you're not good enough?
00:42:09Lyle was good enough. You're not good enough.
00:42:12And so I'm going to get you into business school at UCLA, but you're not living in the dorms.
00:42:19You're living here at home where I can keep tabs on you.
00:42:21Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. I...
00:42:23What? You hold on. You hold on.
00:42:27Because if I let you talk, then you're going to tell me about how you want to be...
00:42:34What?
00:42:35A male model.
00:42:38What the fuck are these, Eric?
00:42:40I mean, what the fuck is... What the fuck is...
00:42:42What the fuck is that?
00:42:44What the fuck are those?
00:42:45They're my model photos.
00:42:46Modeling photos?
00:42:48Eric.
00:42:50Where are you going?
00:42:51God.
00:42:54Genuine question.
00:42:58Are you homosexual?
00:43:00Oh.
00:43:01I'm genuinely asking because I don't see you with a single piece of pussy ever.
00:43:04What are you... I... This is unbelievable. I don't have to listen to this.
00:43:08Sit down.
00:43:11Look at me.
00:43:13Look at me.
00:43:15Wipe the look off your face.
00:43:18I'm giving you a future with me.
00:43:22When I'm a senator, you're going to work with me in politics.
00:43:25And for that future, you need a girlfriend.
00:43:27Janice Szymanski.
00:43:29No, Dad. No.
00:43:31I already talked to her parents. She's beautiful. She looks like Miss America. Come on.
00:43:34And she likes you. And you're going to take her to the prom.
00:43:36No, I'm not doing that.
00:43:37Yes, you are going to the prom with her because all I care about is the fucking prom photo
00:43:41and then you and your friend Craig, we'll suck each other's dicks.
00:43:44Okay?
00:43:47No. I'm not doing that.
00:43:50I'm doing modeling and acting.
00:43:52And I'm going to major in theater
00:43:55because I did Shakespeare, Dad, and I'm a good actor.
00:43:58I'm not living here. I'm going to stay in the dorm.
00:44:00That's what I want to do.
00:44:03Come here. Let's go upstairs. Let's go upstairs.
00:44:08I'm going to your room.
00:44:11Give me that.
00:44:12Dad.
00:44:13Fuck it.
00:44:14Jesus.
00:44:15Get down.
00:44:16Get out of those fucking cars.
00:44:20You're a piece of shit.
00:44:22You're a cripple and you've got all the money I'm putting into your party.
00:44:27What the fuck?
00:44:28What?
00:44:29I don't know.
00:44:31Fuck.
00:44:38Fuck.
00:44:56Okay.
00:44:58Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.
00:45:07Dad.
00:45:09Yes.
00:45:18Eric is not using any condoms.
00:45:21How do you know?
00:45:22Because I counted them. Ten.
00:45:27Well, he's not going to get any girls pregnant.
00:45:29I know he doesn't have a girlfriend.
00:45:30That's what I'm saying. He's not using any condoms.
00:45:35Or do you think he's...
00:45:38He doesn't have a girlfriend. Okay?
00:45:41And he's not wearing any fucking condoms.
00:45:44Why are you worried?
00:45:46Because I don't want Eric to have AIDS.
00:45:52So you do think that he is...
00:45:54I don't fucking know, but I know what I think he's doing.
00:46:01He can bring AIDS to this house.
00:46:06He cannot bring it into this house.
00:46:22Eric, come here.
00:46:24Yeah?
00:46:26I have to check your penis.
00:46:28What?
00:46:29For blisters.
00:46:31Just let me look, please, and herpes sores.
00:46:35Mom, why? What are you... What?
00:46:37Well, you're a teenager now, and you've proven you can't be trusted.
00:46:40Just let me look, please.
00:46:42Mom, I told you last time. I can look, and there's not any.
00:46:46I have to.
00:46:59Okay.
00:47:10See?
00:47:12It's just about, you know, hygiene.
00:47:26What are you working on?
00:47:29You know, just the exploratory committee.
00:47:33I mean, it's still early days, but they want a slogan.
00:47:37And I can't think of one. I can't...
00:47:42I mean, I might get something, but...
00:47:47What happened?
00:47:54What?
00:47:56I love you, Ozzy.
00:48:01I love you.
00:48:03Okay.
00:48:08Um, what?
00:48:11Um, there's, um...
00:48:18I just...
00:48:20What?
00:48:23I need to know what's going on with you and the boys.
00:48:28What do you mean?
00:48:31Do you have, um...
00:48:34proclivities?
00:48:36I'm interested to think, because of all the affairs that you've had,
00:48:40it's just... we don't have sex anymore.
00:48:43No, no, no, what you're asking, no. No.
00:48:47Why would you say that?
00:48:49Why would you say that?
00:48:51Well, you just... you seem very concerned about AIDS.
00:48:55Specifically in regards to Eric.
00:48:59Ask the question. Ask it.
00:49:01Kitty, ask me the question.
00:49:03What it is that you're asking me.
00:49:05Okay.
00:49:08Is something sexual going on between you and the boys?
00:49:14I won't tell anyone.
00:49:16I just... I need to know.
00:49:18I don't want there to be any more lies between us.
00:49:23No.
00:49:25No.
00:49:27No.
00:49:30No, there's not.
00:49:33Oh, my God, are you drunk?
00:49:35You must be drunk in order to ask this kind of question. Are you?
00:49:38Tonight? No, I'm not.
00:49:42No, I never did that.
00:49:45No.
00:49:47No, but...
00:49:56I don't know. Maybe it's time I told you why.
00:50:02What do you mean, time? You're scaring me.
00:50:06There is something that I haven't told you, but...
00:50:09I haven't told you because of the way you would react,
00:50:11what you would think, how it would sound.
00:50:17I know what it is to be abused.
00:50:19The pain and the confusion of it.
00:50:21Because when I was little, um...
00:50:23I don't remember how old,
00:50:26but I was still in diapers, so I was little.
00:50:29My mother would fondle me.
00:50:31My mother would fondle me and my penis until I got an erection,
00:50:34and then she would start laughing
00:50:36because she thought it was funny.
00:50:39And I don't know what to think about that,
00:50:41because it tickled me, and I loved making my mother laugh.
00:50:45But then later on, when I was older,
00:50:48I was six, seven years old,
00:50:50Marta, my sister, was arguing with her
00:50:54and saying,
00:50:57And my mother said,
00:50:59Marta, stop being silly.
00:51:02It is nothing.
00:51:04And you know what?
00:51:06When I heard that, I thought,
00:51:08it's right. It's nothing.
00:51:10I mean, it's...
00:51:12I know now that that was wrong,
00:51:14but at the time,
00:51:16to her?
00:51:18To me?
00:51:20To her?
00:51:22To me?
00:51:25To her?
00:51:27Maybe not. Maybe not.
00:51:29Because to those people, people of a certain age,
00:51:34for them, it was just something...
00:51:37something silly, something funny,
00:51:39something...
00:51:41stupid, maybe.
00:51:43Right. It was something that would happen in real life,
00:51:46that would happen in a real family.
00:51:48It's not that big of a deal.
00:51:55Mm. Mm.
00:51:58Oh.
00:52:01Right. I know why you're confused.
00:52:03Because of...
00:52:05Yeah, I understand that.
00:52:07Because I take showers with them sometimes after Chinese.
00:52:10I wrestle with them. I grab them. I touch them.
00:52:13Come on. That's completely normal.
00:52:15That's something that my father did with me as well.
00:52:21And I...
00:52:24I've tried my whole life
00:52:27to make men out of those two boys.
00:52:32Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers.
00:52:35I mean, haven't I taken it too far sometimes?
00:52:38Yeah, I know.
00:52:40I've shouted a lot.
00:52:42I know that, Kitty. I hit them sometimes.
00:52:44What the fuck?
00:52:46And, I mean, I have regrets in my life,
00:52:49and I'm ashamed of a lot of things in my life,
00:52:51but not that.
00:52:53My love, I love you.
00:52:55And you know why I'm not regretted?
00:52:57Because I love you,
00:52:59and because we are a family.
00:53:02It doesn't matter.
00:53:06We are a family.
00:53:11Wow, that's a good slogan, actually.
00:53:13Fuck.
00:53:15Florida is family.
00:53:18There you go.
00:53:21Let's go upstairs and get some sleep.
00:53:35I hate my kids.
00:53:37And it's awful, but it's true.
00:53:41They have turned us into people we don't want to be.
00:53:44Pushed us apart.
00:53:47I don't want to speak for you, honey.
00:53:49No, go ahead.
00:53:53That's why I'm so grateful to have a man like this man.
00:53:56He's so strong.
00:53:58Jose, you are so strong, and I love you so much.
00:54:01I love you.
00:54:04There was a lot of abuse in my home growing up.
00:54:08My dad hit my mom.
00:54:10Every night at the kitchen table,
00:54:13we had to watch.
00:54:16And then he hit us, and
00:54:18then he left.
00:54:24I think I was drawn to that.
00:54:27What do you mean by that?
00:54:29Well, that women marry men like their fathers.
00:54:33I mean, not that Jose is that at all.
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:36It's just the way he carries himself.
00:54:38His presence is very masculine.
00:54:39Yes.
00:54:40Yes.
00:54:41But does Jose hit you?
00:54:43Oh, no, no, no, I don't.
00:54:44I hit the boys once or twice.
00:54:46And I wholeheartedly support that, by the way.
00:54:53Was there ever sexual abuse in your home growing up?
00:54:57No.
00:55:00Jose?
00:55:01What?
00:55:11Why are we talking about this?
00:55:14Was there?
00:55:15Oh, come on.
00:55:16Kidding.
00:55:43Hello?
00:56:13Eh?
00:56:44You made me feel like an idiot.
00:56:50Like an idiot.
00:56:51And then I left.
00:56:53And when mom left, I told you I wanted to know too.
00:56:56You treated me like an idiot.
00:56:58Do you remember that?
00:57:01Do you remember that, mom?
00:57:02I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:04What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about, mom?
00:57:06Fuck, what happened to you too?
00:57:08Marta told me.
00:57:10Marta told me about your uncle.
00:57:12I don't know what his name was.
00:57:13He was always drunk.
00:57:15You were so little, mom.
00:57:17Your face was like shit.
00:57:19Your sister is a liar.
00:57:21You don't know what I'm talking about.
00:57:23You don't fucking know.
00:57:26Fuck.
00:57:40Last will and testament for one Mr. Menendez.
00:57:42Let's do it.
00:57:43Rich, you're funny.
00:57:44Come on in.
00:57:45Always funny.
00:57:46So what are you looking at doing?
00:57:48We crack her open?
00:57:49No, no, no.
00:57:50Let's go over here.
00:57:51I just want to talk through some hypotheticals.
00:57:53Because I've been doing some reflecting lately,
00:57:55and there are some changes that need to be made
00:57:58regarding my life and concerning my legacy.
00:58:00Okay?
00:58:01Okay.
00:58:02Okay, great.
00:58:03Let's get to it.
00:58:13So, yes, I flew to Europe to see Jamie,
00:58:15and I love her, and yes,
00:58:17I think that mom and dad should have to pay for that.
00:58:19Oh, Jesus, you are ridiculous children.
00:58:23I have to say this is it for me.
00:58:25I'm not coming to any more of these sessions.
00:58:27Kitty.
00:58:28Nope, no way.
00:58:30And I regret having you.
00:58:31Mom, you can't say that.
00:58:33Your father crossed an ocean,
00:58:36and I left behind the life of a beauty queen,
00:58:38or I could have been a movie star like Kim Novak,
00:58:41and you're what I got?
00:58:45Eric, I'd like to go back to your shame about your vehicle.
00:58:50Can you talk about that?
00:58:51Well, I mean, it's a Ford Escort,
00:58:53so it's fucking embarrassing.
00:58:55Oh, please shut up, for Christ's sake.
00:59:00What?
00:59:04Why are you looking at us like that?
00:59:06I can't smile at you?
00:59:08Come on.
00:59:10I mean, we've had a great session with Dr. Asil here.
00:59:15Thank you very much.
00:59:17And I'm sitting with my beautiful wife.
00:59:22And what else can I say?
00:59:25Oh, yes, that I'm practicing my smile
00:59:28because we're going to end this session in five minutes
00:59:32and head down to Sears, the four of us.
00:59:42Beautiful.
00:59:43Kitty, can I scoot you in just a bit towards Lyle?
00:59:48Okay, give me another big smile.
00:59:51Boy, look at those pearly whites.
00:59:53What a family.
00:59:55And...
00:59:58That's the one, I think.
