00:00Can I see what you're writing about me?
00:14That's against patient therapist protocol.
00:30Is this against protocol too?
00:42I won't tell if you won't tell.
01:00I won't tell if you're writing about me.
01:14I won't tell if you're writing about me.
01:19I won't tell if you're writing about me.
01:23There you are, honey.
01:40Starting to think I'm married to the invisible man.
01:43Late nights at the office and now you're gone in the morning too.
01:46I know, but an early morning gym equals an empty gym.
01:49I prefer it that way.
01:50Gotta stay fit for election season.
01:52Well, I just miss you, Mr. Mayor.
01:56I'm sorry.
01:58And I will make it up to you once I'm re-elected, Mrs. Mayor.
02:02Or should I say Mrs. New York Times best-selling author?
02:05Wish I could be there today.
02:08Yeah, me too.
02:10Honey, I am all sweaty.
02:19I don't mind.
02:20I'm running late and I have to shower.
02:22Sorry, honey.
02:24Excuse me, mister.
02:25Good morning to you too.
02:26Sorry, Mom.
02:27Morning.
02:28What about breakfast?
02:29I promised the robotics team I'd get there early to help with the lunch.
02:30Bye.
02:31Damn it.
02:32Damn it.
02:33Damn it.
02:34Damn it.
02:35Sorry, Mom. Morning.
02:37What about breakfast?
02:39I promised the robotics team I'd get there early to help with the lunch. Bye.
02:55Damn it.
03:05Madison, you're an accomplished therapist, a mom, the wife of the mayor who's in the midst of election season.
03:18What made you want to write this book? And when do you sleep?
03:22Yes, life can get pretty hectic.
03:25But that's exactly why I created this methodology of actionable steps to clear chaos.
03:30I just want to help people be their best.
03:32Fascinating. Well, I'll be honest. Chapter four changed everything for me.
03:38Let's take some audience questions.
03:53Yes. Great question.
03:55Madison, what about artists? Don't they thrive in chaos?
03:59The only thing that thrives in chaos is a mess.
04:04Okay. There you have it.
04:09Next question.
04:13Thank you so much.
04:15Hi.
04:39Madison, is everything all right?
04:41Charles.
04:42Charles.
04:45Sorry, forgive me. I didn't get much sleep last night. I had some... intense dreams.
04:51Well, you've got a lot going on. Congratulations. This is unreal.
04:55I learned everything I know from you.
04:57Well, you were exceptional all on your own. That's the reason I'm here.
05:01I'm working on a case that I'd like you to take a crack at.
05:05Jake Thorpe?
05:06Yes. Do you know him?
05:07No. I mean, everyone knows the Thorpes. They practically built this city.
05:12Yes, that's why this case has to be handled very delicately. The Thorpes don't want any more unnecessary embarrassment.
05:19Any more?
05:20Let's just say Jake Thorpe has made headlines with his wild behavior.
05:25One-year court-ordered treatment for sex addiction.
05:29Charles, you know I don't focus on addiction anymore.
05:31Yes, but the Thorpes want the best for their son, and you're the best. Come on, Madison.
05:36I'm flattered, but...
05:37How would you like to be president of the ethics board? I know that's a dream of yours.
05:41You're not serious.
05:42I'm announcing my retirement. Successfully rehabilitate Jake Thorpe, and you're a shoo-in for my replacement.
05:52I won't let you down, Charles.
06:12You seem tense, Mrs. Marks. Am I making you uncomfortable?
06:37I saw you at my book signing.
06:39Yes.
06:42I enjoyed watching you.
06:51Per the court order, we'll meet weekly for a year.
06:54But first, I need to form a clearer picture of your addiction.
06:58Ask away.
07:00How does your compulsion typically manifest?
07:02I don't know what you mean.
07:04What form does it take?
07:06For example, obsessively watching pornography, reckless behavior with multiple sexual partners...
07:13All of the above.
07:18It must be very painful for you.
07:20You think pleasure is painful?
07:23No, I mean...
07:25Can I ask you a question?
07:27Of course.
07:28Do you really think it'll take a whole year to cure me?
07:40Well, a cure really isn't the goal of therapy.
07:44Mrs. Marks, I'm feeling better already.
07:51I'm feeling better already.
07:57You sign off on my recovery, and I'll make sure your husband gets four more years as mayor.
08:12You're bribing me?
08:14Technically, it's your husband's name on the check.
08:18This isn't a joke, Mr. Thorpe.
08:20Jake.
08:22Please.
08:26Mr. Thorpe was my father.
08:28Trust me, I'm way more fun.
08:32You have quite a long history with fun, I see.
08:37Solicitation of prostitution?
08:40Transporting a minor across state lines?
08:43She was 17 and I was 18.
08:46It was prom night.
08:47We wanted to go to Vegas instead, so what?
08:50And your latest fun?
08:52Indecent exposure and lewd conduct at a school?
08:55That's not what happened.
08:58Okay, yes, I was exposed.
09:01And yeah, it was out of school, but it was like 2am, closed.
09:05No one around.
09:07And I wasn't alone.
09:10I took the fall to protect someone else.
09:17Then what really happened that night, Jake?
09:22I don't think someone like you could handle it.
09:25You seem a little too buttoned up.
09:28I'm a professional.
09:29In order to treat you, I need you to be honest with me.
09:35Don't say I didn't warn you.
09:39I was with my ex, Demi.
09:41Demi liked having sex in public places.
09:44And I will.
09:46I like the rush.
09:50We snuck into our old elementary school
09:52during a walk home from the club.
09:55Oops, I am so sorry about that.
09:57Let me clean that up.
10:05Should I be the naughty school girl?
10:06Or the naughty teacher?
10:07Or the naughty teacher.
10:20Demi was loud.
10:24A janitor heard us and called the cops.
10:26Jakey, I can't go to jail.
10:32Go.
10:34I'll handle this.
10:44Anyway, I put on a solo show,
10:47so Demi wouldn't be hassled by the cops.
10:50Madison?
11:00Anyway, I put on a solo show,
11:03so Demi wouldn't be hassled by the cops.
11:05What are you writing about me?
11:15Let's stay focused.
11:17You took a plea deal.
11:20A year of therapy instead of jail?
11:23You know what they say.
11:25No good deed goes unpunished.
11:27Demi dumped me.
11:29And news of my arrest.
11:31Tanked the company stock
11:32and got me kicked out of my family's empire.
11:35And now, here we are.
11:38Hm.
11:39What?
11:43Losing everything doesn't sound like fun.
11:47Sounds like pain.
11:51Is it possible that all this reckless behavior,
11:55all the meaningless sex,
11:57is making your life worse?
11:58When did the urge to escape start?
12:10Tell me about your childhood.
12:13How was your relationship to your mother?
12:16You will never be good enough, Jake.
12:20You are a dirty, disgusting little boy!
12:24Let's just say there wasn't a lot of love.
12:26So you tried to fill that void with pleasure.
12:30How's that working?
12:34Sometimes it's great.
12:37And other times...
12:39It gets...
12:43I don't know.
12:45Lonely?
12:47Yeah.
12:56I've been lonely too.
13:01I'm an expert at telling others how to feel better, but...
13:06Sometimes I don't know how to help myself.
13:08No one's ever understood me like this before.
13:20I recommend a comprehensive treatment plan.
13:35Daily journaling to track your moods and impulses.
13:38Weekly cognitive behavior...
13:39Are you fucking with me?
13:40Actually, there's no fucking during treatment.
13:46Trust me.
13:50I know what I'm doing.
13:52I graduated from Yale and Harvard.
13:55I've treated over a thousand patients in my career.
13:57And I wrote a New York Times bestseller.
14:03I thought you understood me.
14:09Guess not.
14:11We're done here.
14:12We're done here.
14:29Hi, honey.
14:31Hey, honey.
14:32Frank insisted that I call and check that you have booked the venue.
14:35For the cancer benefit?
14:37I did.
14:39It's gonna be a fun casino night.
14:41Well, of course you did.
14:42And that's exactly what I told him.
14:43I knew you wouldn't forget.
14:45Alright, I'll see you for dinner tonight.
14:46The usual spot.
14:49I was thinking...
14:51What's that?
14:52Look at this.
14:54I may have something more intimate in mind for dessert.
14:57Honey, I'm sorry.
14:58I just missed that.
14:59Frank was in my ear with the latest poll numbers.
15:01I'll see you tonight.
15:03You told that campaign manager you're my husband, not his.
15:05Is...
15:08Hello?
15:09My husband.
15:10Max was in the background.
15:11My husband.
15:14Oh, my goodness.
15:15That was messy.
15:17Sorry.
15:18I'll be in the afternoon.
15:20I'm sorry.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:24Go, go, go.
15:26She's ready.
15:28That's great.
15:30Wait.
15:31Who ordered the champagne?
15:32And the ticket.
15:33Oh, tell me what?
15:35I'll be in the car,
15:37I'm way more fun.
16:07I like the rush.
16:12Don't say I didn't warn you.
16:22I'm fixating.
16:23I need to stop.
16:37I'm still sexy, right?
16:42I need to stop thinking about you.
16:58We need our Jake.
17:00We can't.
17:05I need to stop thinking about you.
17:33Oh, sorry to wake you, honey.
17:40How was dinner?
17:46Dinner was fine.
17:48Just, I've got a new client.
17:52He's intense.
17:54I don't know.
17:56He's getting under my skin.
17:58Yeah, I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle.
18:01Yeah, I'm sure.
18:03I'm sorry.
18:04I'm exhausted.
18:06Can we talk in the morning?
18:09Sure.
18:10No.
18:11No.
18:12No.
18:13No.
18:14No.
18:15No.
18:16No.
18:17No.
18:18No.
18:19No.
18:20No.
18:21No.
18:22No.
18:23No.
18:24No.
18:25No.
18:26No.
18:27No.
18:28No.
18:29No.
18:30No.
18:31No.
18:32No.
18:33No.
18:34No.
18:35No.
18:36No.
18:37No.
18:38No.
18:39No.
18:40No.
18:41No.
18:42No.
18:43No.
18:44No.
18:45No.
18:46I care about my billion-dollar inheritance.
18:51So try harder.
18:54She turned down a million-dollar check
18:56for her husband's mayoral campaign.
18:58What else can I do?
19:01There's more than one way to persuade someone.
19:09Thank you all for coming to this emergency ethics board
19:11meeting.
19:13We need to decide the unfortunate matter
19:15of Richard Thompson, who's accused
19:17of sleeping with his client.
19:19That is disgusting.
19:20He does not deserve his career.
19:23And I hope he loses everything.
19:27We haven't heard from Madison yet.
19:29What do you think?
19:35What Mr. Thompson did was vile and offensive.
19:39He wantonly broke the sacred trust given to therapists.
19:44He deserves the maximum punishment.
19:46Well said.
19:47I couldn't agree more.
19:50Well, that settles the matter of Richard Thompson.
19:57You nailed this.
19:58Finish strong with Jake Thorpe, and you'll
20:00be president in no time.
20:05Am I in over my head?
20:13I'm glad you came back.
20:15My lawyer told me I didn't have a choice.
20:17I either talked to you or his cellmate.
20:22At least you're attractive.
20:24You know, I couldn't help but notice your husband was a no-show at dinner last night.
20:33Does he stand you up a lot?
20:35You followed me?
20:37I'm glad you enjoyed the champagne.
20:41You shouldn't have done that.
20:43You crossed an important boundary.
20:45I think you should leave.
20:47There's still time on the clock.
20:48Session's over!
20:49I'm ending this.
20:51I can't be your therapist.
20:53Well in that case, since you don't want to be my therapist anymore, maybe we can spend the time together another way.
21:00This is highly inappropriate.
21:02I'll have to report your behavior to your probation officer.
21:05Good.
21:06I hope he sentences me to more time with you.
21:08If you want me to stop, I will.
21:31Just say so.
21:34I want to see you with your hair down.
21:51I think you need to cool down.
21:55And here I thought I was getting you wet.
22:22Leave.
22:24Now!
22:25Charles, I need to withdraw from the Thorpe case.
22:38Effective immediately.
22:39I need to withdraw from the Thorpe case.
22:42Effective immediately.
22:43He's disrespectful of my time.
22:45Highly volatile.
22:46Oh, when he offered me a million dollar bribe.
22:49That sounds like a Thorpe.
22:51So you agree?
22:52I can't treat him.
22:53I'm afraid word is spread that Jake Thorpe is a client of yours.
22:57To quit now would not only jeopardize your chance to be president, it would be career suicide.
23:02No.
23:03Yes, Madison.
23:04You know how powerful the Thorpes are.
23:07You know, I'm honestly surprised.
23:09It's not like you to give up so easily.
23:12Is there something else going on that I don't know about?
23:15If I admit my attraction to Jake, my career and my marriage will be over.
23:22No.
23:23I'm just having imposter syndrome.
23:25Huh.
23:26Is that all?
23:27Well, trust me.
23:28If anyone can handle Jake Thorpe, it's you.
23:31What's for dinner?
23:32What's for dinner?
23:33Hmm?
23:34Yeah, what's for dinner?
23:35Hmm?
23:36Yeah, what's for dinner?
