The Affair

Previously on The Affair:

Do you remember the first time you saw her?

Like it was yesterday.

I have to leave.

We've lived together for half our lives.

I'm in love with someone else.

I want you to get the fuck out of my house.

What if I moved to Montauk?

To be with you.

Look, I know I was a jerk, but I...

I just got out of three years in prison.

I don't want what I used to.

I just want a simple life.

I just want to get back into teaching.

I want to live with someone I love.

You were the best thing that ever happened to me.

No, I, uh... I want a divorce, Noah.

How's Vik?

He's good.

He just got a major job offer in L.A.

The children's hospital there.

This fella's quite a catch.

Handsome, polite, a doctor.

Anyone would be an improvement after your first husband.

Noah's not doing well, huh?

Well, he's downstairs.

I'll tell him to leave right now.

You do what you want, Helen.

Because I get how this goes.

He leaves now.

Whenever he shows up with his bullshit,

you let him right back fucking in.

Why can't you just let him go?

Thing is, for my whole life, I've had

this idea that I'm a good person,

and, uh, it's not true.

No, it's not.

Good-bye.

I killed Scott Lockhart.

It wasn't Noah.

That is why I let Noah back in.

Because I felt like I owed him

and I was trying to fix what I did.

It was not because I loved him.

I'll find you after work.

Being a parent is hard.

And I know we haven't done it perfectly,

but I learned from my parents' mistakes,

and your mother learned from hers,

just as you'll learn from our mistakes.

Until someone someday

finally has a perfect childhood.

Where we going, buddy?

It's been 72 hours.

No one's seen her.

She hasn't called to check in on Joanie.

The police have declared her a missing person.

I just think it's important

for you to get settled in first.

I am settled, Helen.

I'm in a three-bedroom house. I got a room for each of them.

I got board games, trampoline.

Are we still litigating custody here?

No, Noah, it's just that weekends

are really important to them right now.

They're making all sorts of new friends out here.

Okay, but the fact remains that I moved all the way

out here to Los Angeles just to be close to my children,

and I'm not seeing them.

Look, Noah, I really don't want

to get into this right now, okay?

We're running late, and I have to get them to school.

Okay, will you just tell Trevor I'll be at his thing tonight?

Please. Helen.

Asshole.

Hey, Victor.

Did you get any sleep last night?

The baby was up like every half hour.

Believe it or not, you'll miss it.

Yeah? You want to trade?

I don't miss it that much.

So, come on, somebody tell me, why...

why do none of the other animals

stand up to the tyrant Napoleon

or his mouthpiece, Squealer?

These pigs?

Anybody?

Come on. You're teenagers.

Don't you ever feel oppressed or misunderstood?

Yes, great. Martina.

So, like, Mr. Solloway, I've been wondering,

are you married?

'Cause, like, I don't see no ring.

Actually, I'm divorced. Twice.

Ooh!

I like a man with a past.

Okay, okay.

Who'd like to read?

Somebody?

Yes, Martina, go on.

Oh. If I read, Mr. Solloway,

Ooh!

Martina, I have much loftier aspirations

for you than that.

But yes, you can read.

Page, uh, 53.

Um, Squealer's speech,

starting, "No one believes..."

"No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon

that all animals are equal."

Come on, guys. Who is that?

Can you silence it, please?

Go on, Martina.

Um... "And then where should we be?"

Suppose you had decided to follow Snowball, with his

moonshine of windmills.

"-Snowball, who, as we know..." Hang on, Martina.

Just wait.

What...?

- Give that to me. - No, mister, please.

- Give me the phone. - It's just my brother.

He's giving me a ride to my job after school.

I-I work at KFC.

Jaime, I'm-I'm teaching an allegory on tyranny,

and you'll know the meaning of that

if you don't put that away right now.

- Okay. - Now, put it on silent.

All right.

Okay, thank you, Martina.

Anton.

The passage Martina just read,

where Squealer is basically saying,

"We'd love to let you make your own decisions,

but we can't because you might make the wrong decisions,"

you want to tell us what you make of that?

No.

Come on. We'd all love to hear.

Sorry for y'all.

Okay, I get it. It's a tough passage.

So let's, um... let's break it down.

I said I don't feel like it.

I know you don't feel like it,

but I want you to participate in the class, okay?

So I'd like you to read it.

And you might understand it better.

Come on, read the passage.

I want you to do it.

You need to participate.

I mean it. Anton...

I said no.

Principal Wilson, how can we help you?

Don't mind me.

Okay.

Okay, so, uh, we were looking at, uh, Squealer's quote.

Well, he's trying to come across as benign,

but he isn't, is he?

What is he?

No problem. It's a tough question.

When we get a tough question,

we go back to the book for the answers.

Jaime.

But Mr. Solloway said it was okay.

- No, I did not say that. - Yes, you did.

- Come on, man. - No, I didn't.

No, it was a pedagogical...

It was a... a teaching thing. It was...

Mr. Ramos, you can retrieve it at the end

- of the day from my office. - Oh, come on, Mr. Solloway.

I thought we were friends.

Jaime is trying to contact his brother

who is giving him a ride to work after school.

Jaime is an only child.

I think you and your phone can spend the rest

of the day with me. Let's go.

Mr. Gatewood, take down that hood.

Thank you.

Janelle does that to my classes, too, man.

Always sitting in.

And I've been at this charter since the beginning.

Sorry. I'm lost again.

What are you trying to do?

Trying to record the grades from this quiz.

Oh, go back to your home page.

Click on that tab.

That'll take you to your grading landing page.

Oh, thank you.

Sorry. We didn't really have any of this

last time I was teaching.

I'll bet. You're a lot older
