00:00Here. Now!
00:06Are you okay?
00:07I didn't ask for your help, I had it covered.
00:09That's not what I saw.
00:11You're on probation.
00:13One more mistake and you're done, don't you get that?
00:18You're right. I'm sorry.
00:20I just, I felt like I needed to protect you.
00:23What do you mean, protect me?
00:35I can't stand the thought of anyone hurting you.
00:42It's been a long time since I felt cared for.
00:49I care for you, Madison.
00:53I should, um, clean up my mess.
01:05I should, um, clean up my mess.
01:10On my own.
01:16Again.
01:18I care for you, Madison.
01:22I care for you, Madison.
01:23All right, what do we got here?
01:36There's nothing juicy.
01:38There's no heat in these photos of the mayor's wife.
01:40You slipping, Romeo?
01:42I want you to call off the paparazzi.
01:44Come on, Jake.
01:45Don't tell me you're going soft on me.
01:46I said shut it down, Carmine.
01:47We're done here.
01:48But what about everything we've invested in?
01:49I don't want to hear another word about it.
01:50Do you understand?
01:51I'm gonna go through this treatment the right way.
01:52And I don't need any more of your help.
01:53Now get out.
01:54Before I throw you out.
01:55Oh, you're doing the shit.
01:56You're slipping, Romeo?
01:57I want you to call off the paparazzi.
01:58Come on, Jake.
01:59Don't tell me you're going soft on me.
02:01I said shut it down, Carmine.
02:03We're done here.
02:05But what about everything we've invested in?
02:06I don't want to hear another word about it.
02:09Do you understand?
02:10I'm gonna go through this treatment the right way.
02:12And I don't need any more of your help.
02:16Now get out.
02:17Before I throw you out.
02:18Right on time.
02:48You've been a bad boy, and I want to hear all about it.
03:04Can I touch you like this?
03:09Like this?
03:18How did that feel?
03:35It felt...
03:40...meaningless.
03:47I'm on to you.
03:50You are?
03:52Yes.
03:53I know what happened last night.
03:56You've been a bad boy.
03:59Madison!
04:00You do?
04:02But how?
04:04I've seen this type of behavior before.
04:06It's very common.
04:07You're not mad?
04:09I mean, it was highly inappropriate.
04:13But I'd be lying if I didn't find it kind of...
04:17...sweet.
04:19To be honest, I feel pretty ashamed of it.
04:22We do need to address your anger and impulsivity issues.
04:26Physical violence is never okay.
04:28Oh, you meant what happened at the restaurant?
04:31Of course.
04:32What did you think I meant?
04:34Did something else happen last night?
04:40Jake, did you have sex last night?
04:43You've been having sex this whole time and lying to me about it?
04:47I can't stop my thoughts.
04:48Thoughts don't matter, Jake.
04:49Only actions.
04:50I'm sorry.
04:51You broke our agreement.
04:53Please.
04:54Don't give up on me.
04:56I need your help.
04:58I have a problem.
05:00I can finally admit that.
05:03But I can't fix it without you, Madison.
05:07I'm sorry.
05:17Sit down.
05:24Lay down and close your eyes.
05:27We're going to try hypnosis.
05:32Three, two, one.
05:35I don't understand.
05:37Why didn't we try this on day one?
05:39Because hypnosis only works on addictions you actually want to quit.
05:43I don't think you were ready back then.
05:49Jake, you are now in a state of deep relaxation.
05:53Listen to my voice and repeat after me.
05:57I no longer desire meaningless sex.
06:00I no longer desire meaningless sex.
06:05That's it?
06:09That's it.
06:10That's it.
06:13How will I know if it worked?
06:15We'll have to test it.
06:16What's the fact is?
06:17Is this a turn in you one?
06:32Yes.
06:34But I no longer want anyone but you.
06:39Madison, I've never met anyone as incredible as you.
06:45Jake, I think I love you.
06:56When I snap my fingers, you will return to consciousness, fully integrated and refreshed.
07:04Did it work?
07:09Only time will tell.
07:24Is there something wrong?
07:27I'm not sure.
07:34The finance committee is down my throat again about property taxes.
07:51I don't know how we're supposed to fill hundreds of potholes without any revenue.
07:53how about we treat ourselves as some ice cream really right now yes let's go what about the
08:10dishes oh a little chaos is okay we'll do with it later I can't believe how free I feel

12:16there is no we jake
12:18I'm happy to refer you to another therapist
12:20I only want you

12:53I mean it
12:55I've completed my treatment mother
13:07I'm ready to come back to work
13:09a piece of paper is not enough to convince me Jake
13:14I know all of your dirty tricks
13:17and what will make you happy mother
13:18I want to speak to your therapist
13:21Madison Marks directly
13:22I don't want to drag her into this
13:24I hear from her or you don't get your job back
13:26and don't embarrass me again Jacob
13:30what are you doing here
13:43I know you don't want to see me
13:46but I need a favor
13:48I already signed the paperwork
13:49yes
13:49but the company won't let me back
13:52unless you speak to them first
13:55why
13:56because my mother's difficult
13:58okay
13:59she doesn't trust me
14:01in her eyes
14:02I've always been a screw up
14:03and she doesn't believe anything I say
14:05since I was a kid
14:08so you can help me or not
14:13okay
14:15I'll talk to her
14:18but only once
14:20and only the truth
14:22in my clinical opinion
14:26Jake has demonstrated
14:29sustained
14:30behavioral change
14:32and significant
14:33emotional growth
14:34I believe his risk for relapse is low
14:37Jake won't be cured
14:41until he finds an upstanding woman
14:43and settles down with her
14:44addicts in recovery
14:47should wait a year
14:48or more
14:49before getting into serious relationships
14:51I'm ready to settle down
14:57wonderful
15:01I'll send a selection
15:03of suitable candidates
15:05I'm a therapist
15:06not a matchmaker
15:07hogwash

15:10avoiding any embarrassing
15:11public missteps
15:12don't you agree
