[GIRLS CONTINUE ARGUING IN CANTONESE]
[NEWSCASTER] Tensions remain high
outside Central Government
Complex this Sunday morning
where student-led protests have
brought traffic to a standstill
as they occupy Harcourt Road
and Connaught Road Central.
Angered by the Mainland's plan to
limit Hong Kong electoral candidates
to those approved by a
government-controlled nominating committee,
the protesters are demanding
that the upcoming election
for Hong Kong's leader
be truly independent,
free from Beijing's interference.
Encouraged by recent
support from leaders
of the broader Occupy Central
civil disobedience movement,
- the number of protesters is currently swelling
- Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry.

And it came time to draft young
men to fight on the front lines,
and of course the farmer's
son couldn't fight in the w*r
because of his broken leg.
I tell you this old story
because we attach value
to life's ups and downs,
when we don't know God's greater plan.
So no matter how good
or bad things may seem,
we must have faith and trust that
God has a purpose for everything.

Ah. Don't do that. Puri,

No, no, no, anything

- Stop it.
I need to speak to you alone.
Why? So you can make more excuses?
[DAVID] I'm not... It's not

[HILARY] Then what is it, David?
Haven't returned any of my calls.
You haven't been home for weeks.
Guess this is the Hong Kong
curse I keep hearing about.
[DAVID] What the f*ck
is the Hong Kong curse?
[HILARY] It's exactly what happens
to men like you when you leave
an egalitarian American society
where the responsibilities are shared,
where both people take turns to
do the dishes, take out the trash,
and all of a sudden
you come to Hong Kong
and you don't have
to do any of it anymore
because you've got women everywhere
to cater to his every desire.
I mean, he's got a secretary who knows
what he wants before you even want it,
and a servant who-who bring you
your espressos in the morning
- just the way you like it.
- [DAVID] Just me, obviously.
- Nothing to do with you. Yeah.
- [HILARY] She irons your boxers
and matches your socks.
No, no, no, Puri. You stay.
Soon, the wife starts to
feel like a nag in comparison,
because, you know, she's just
sitting there complaining, right?
Complaining about your
schedule, your travel,
- your not having enough time for the f*cking kids.
- [DAVID STAMMERS]
- And then the f*cked-up attitude...
- [DAVID] We don't even have kids.
[HILARY] When do I get
to have my midlife crisis?
- When do I get to go off the rails?
- [DAVID] Jesus Christ, Hilary.
[HILARY] I mean, what is the
point of even doing it now anyway?
There's no one left to suffer
while I ride around
town in my red Porsche
- and my hot secretary...
- [DAVID] Hilary!
She's pregnant.
That's what I came to tell you.
- It was an accident, of course.
- [HILARY] Could you excuse us, Puri?
- Ah.
- [DAVID] I didn't even think I could.
- [DAVID SIGHS]
- [HILARY] Who is she?
[DAVID] That's not the point.
Well, it's not not the point, David.
You get to have what you want
and punish me at the same time.
Why would I want to punish you?
- You think I wanted any of this?
- I don't know, David.
Maybe not consciously, but yeah,
on some level, I think you knew
- exactly what you were doing.
- Well, h-hang on. You...
You didn't even want a
baby, or me, for that matter.
You-you filed for divorce
in the blink of an eye.
That's not what people are gonna say.
They're gonna say I
couldn't give you a baby
so no wonder you ran off to
have one with somebody else.
They'll say that I spent
too much time at work,
that I wasn't a good enough wife,
that I couldn't hold onto you,
so I deserve to have you
run off with some tramp.
You know that's not
true, so f*ck those people
- and what they think.
- No, David, f*ck you.

Anyway, I'm only telling you all of this
because, yes, beauty comes from within,
but how we present
ourselves to the world
really affects how people treat us,
which, in turn, affects how we feel.
I've learned that, even on
my not-so-confident days,
if I just put myself together,
put on a k*ller outfit,
flawless makeup,
it really helps.

[ALAN] The choice
wasn't exactly obvious.
I mean, I didn't hear a
calling like some say they do.
I had got into law school, actually,
but, um... [CHUCKLES]
I guess you could say I
followed a girl instead.
Typical.
We got married and joined
the seminary the same year.
Is your wife also a pastor?
She is, but, um, we're
not together anymore.
We're divorced.
I didn't know you were
allowed to do that.
I'm not a priest.
We're a lot more lenient
than, say, the Catholics.
Alice and I both remarried since, but...
... it was tough at the time.
Not everyone was
supportive of the divorce.
We lost a lot of members
of the congregation
who felt I was setting a poor example.
And I felt I had failed them.
So why didn't you quit?
[ALAN] I almost did.
When we split,
I... I left the church and
moved in with my friend Ian.
He had just returned from Afghanistan
where he flew a medevac helicopter.
He was getting treatment for PTSD
while I was trying to
get back on my feet.
And then, after a year of therapy,
he decided to return to Afghanistan
to continue flying the medevac.
So I asked him why he'd return
after all the horrendous things he saw,
after-after... after all the trauma.
He told me that they've
seen, repeatedly,
that even when soldiers are
severely wounded and unconscious...
... the sound of an
approaching medevac helicopter
lifts their vital signs.
Just the sound of help coming...
... brings them back to life.
And that's why he needed to go back,
to be that sound.
And I realized I...
I didn't join the ministry to be
an example of moral perfection.
No, I...
I joined because I hoped to be
the sound of that helicopter.
Do you know where Gus is?
I don't, Philip.
I wish I did, but I don't.

Gus is not with Jesus.

What do they want him for?
Why wouldn't God know where Gus
is? Doesn't God know everything?
- [CLARKE] Daisy...

if he can't tell us where Gus is?

No.

When I came here last
year, I... I was so lonely,
and I met this family on a boat.
I really liked them,
especially the kids.
The mother invited me out one night
to help her watch them,
and I couldn't tell
if it was like I was officially hired
or, you know, if she was
just being friendly, but...
We went to the night market.
Margaret was with the girl, Daisy,
and I was with the boys.
Philip and Gus.
I was holding Gus's hand.
I thought I was, anyway, but...
I sent a text to my friend,
so maybe I dropped it. I can't remember.
It all happened so fast.
One second, we were looking
at these toys at a stall,
these red balls,
and the next second, he was gone.
And I looked everywhere.
I looked everywhere,
but Margaret, she came
and-and she made this sound...
You can't blame yourself.
How can I not?
It was an accident.
It could've happened to anyone.
I told you.
I told you, I'm cursed.
I tried... I tried to warn you.
You don't want anything to do with me.

[OLIVIA] So, tell me about
yourself, do you like kids?
I love children, ma'am.
I have three of my
own at home in Manila.
I have two girls and one boy.
I'm also a very good cook.
[OLIVIA] That's good. What do you cook?
Oh, everything, ma'am.
I can do Chinese, Italian,
Filipino, of course,
and Thai. I make a very nice Thai curry.
Aside from curry, can you
do any other Thai dishes?
Yes, ma'am. I can do tom yum,
phat kaphrao and pad thai.
- Okay, but not too spicy.
- Yes, ma'am.
[HARRY SIMEONE CHOIR: "A SIMPLE PRAYER"]
How about Chinese food? Because my kids
really like sweet and sour pork.
Can you do that?
Mmm, I know a few, ma'am,
but if there's anything
that I don't know,
I'm a very fast learner.
Okay, that's good.
Now, we like to use organic products.
