FunTranscript
00:00You
00:07Easy now, I'm not here for you
00:11Although watching you hop around like a rabbit on Red Bull is pretty entertaining. You're the executioner. You expect me to believe that you don't have a damn choice
00:21If you think I was here to put you in the ground you think I'd stroll in like Sunday service
00:26now
00:28If you're looking for the boss, he's not here know that I
00:31left Joey back at station
00:33Just here to wet my whistle
00:35the police station
00:37It's handling business
00:39Putting out fires pulling out some slick magic tricks. What type of tricks?
00:45If I'm in trouble, I have a sister in Tallahassee
00:48Say the word I'm gone. You calm your twitchy ass down. Damn
00:52Joey arranged for a different disappearing act
00:56Turns out I was never here the night Doc McBride went missing
01:00Joey can make up whatever alibi for you he wants
01:05Not anymore
01:13Why do we have to keep watching this it's not gonna change anything Doug is gonna walk out that door get into his car and
01:20My bad
01:25We can stop now
01:31I just thought there was you know for a split second
01:34I don't know I
01:36Don't know I
01:40Was hoping there was a moment where dad had one moment of clarity or that he understood what he was about to do
01:46That is what alcohol does
01:48What drinking too much does it impairs your judgment
01:51Yeah, but that scene
01:53I
01:55Mean he saw
01:57Bodies wrecked by drunk driving
01:59He drilled into me and Deanna about innocent victims. He couldn't save
02:04Who died because of somebody else's stupidity no look at him?
02:08No hesitation
02:10Not even a pause
02:12The same way he kept ordering drinks like glasses of water
02:17After he pawned off his anniversary watch
02:23Decades of marriage traded in
02:26For chips that lasted less than an hour and after that last chip was gone
02:30It was like
02:34Doug had nothing left to live for
03:00Samantha, Tyrell, anybody home?
03:21Thank God.
03:22Smitty, look, I think we should...
03:24Sit down.
03:30Martin, you want to turn yourself in?
03:36Have you lost your damn mind?
03:37I was going to do it before, at the press conference?
03:40When you were backed into a corner.
03:43Nothing's forcing you to go public now except for your own misguided hero complex.
03:47Don't psychoanalyze me, Smitty.
03:49This is not about heroics.
03:52It's about you.
03:56You think this is what I want?
03:58Really? To throw yourself to the wolves?
04:01So that every news anchor and gossip blog and regular Joe with a YouTube channel can dig into our personal business?
04:08No. I know you don't want to hurt me.
04:11Then explain it to me then.
04:13Because right now it's not making sense.
04:17Keeping that secret is what blew us up.
04:20I told myself that I was protecting you, my kids, my grandfather's legacy.
04:27Hell, I even sold myself on some BS that I was doing to progress the country.
04:32So what's the point if it costs me everything that actually matters?
04:38Having my husband's regard, his high opinion, his love.
04:43I want to be worthy of all of that again.
04:47So this is what I have to do to earn his trust back, then so be it.
04:52Absolutely not.
04:57And this is why.
04:58They're still navigating turbulent waters, but the way Smitty looks at Martin and vice versa,
05:06there is still a mighty love there.
05:09It gives me hope.
05:11Seems like everyone in your family is having relationship problems these days.
05:16Martin and Smitty making their way back.
05:19Kat getting tangled up with Tomas after he played her.
05:22And then there's you.
05:24Me?
05:25Please.
05:25I have made my peace with how everything turned out.
05:29I will find my contentment in my children's happiness.
05:32That is reward enough.
05:33Mm-hmm.
05:35Say, what's a girl gotta do to get a real drink around here?
05:38Sorry, ran out.
05:41With that ostentatious display,
05:43you expect me to believe Nicole Dupree Richardson,
05:46who has assistance for her assistance,
05:48that you just ran out of alcohol?
05:50It has been busy.
05:51I haven't had a chance to restock on your favorite brands of tequila and vodka.
05:54Nicole, what do you think?
05:56I'm gonna get tipsy and make wedding plans with my rideshare driver?
05:59You said it, not me.
06:01I am saying you have nothing to worry about.
06:04Good.
06:05Unless you're hiding another fine nephew.
06:07Tequila, tequila, tequila.
06:16You are impossible.
06:18Let me go get you that drink before you start another family scandal.
06:22No, no, don't bother.
06:23I'll be a big girl.
06:25I'll get by without it.
06:26Probably for the wives.
06:29Listen, I know you're still prickly about Andre and me.
06:32Ah, what gave you that impression?
06:33Just remember, at first you had to get over us seeing each other.
06:38Marriage is just the next logical step.
06:40You're kidding, right?
06:41So we might have skipped a few chapters.
06:43Sorry, still not buying it.
06:46This feels like it has more to do with Bill than any love connection.
06:51Andre and I aren't traditional.
06:53That is for sure.
06:55But we care about each other.
06:57That part is real.
06:58Just don't hurt him, okay?
07:05I love Andre like he is one of my own.
07:07And I know he walks around here like he has it all figured out.
07:12But losing your parents like that?
07:15Hurting that man is not on the menu.
07:18I may be reckless with my own heart, but I'm not playing games with his.
07:22Speaking of hearts, your speech at Doug's memorial was beautiful.
07:30We do the dead no favors by making them saints.
07:34Doug was complicated.
07:37No different than the rest of us.
07:42I just never thought I'd see the day when a man who repairs hearts for a living would get behind the wheel drunk.
07:48Did you know Doug was spiraling like that?
07:50Let's just say, I knew that he had demons.
07:57I just didn't think that they'd win.
07:59I feel for Vanessa.
08:01Losing your husband like that?
08:04You think she'll get through it?
08:07Get through?
08:09Maybe.
08:11Be okay?
08:14That's another story.
08:17Is there any more footage?
08:18What about parking lot cameras?
08:21You know, something, anything that shows me him actually getting into his car?
08:25Unfortunately, the camera back there has been busted for over a month.
08:29I keep writing the manager to replace the part, but it's back ordered.
08:33Why doesn't this video have any sound?
08:37I mean, what am I supposed to do?
08:38Read my...
08:39Damn it, Darnell!
08:40Look at him!
08:41Well, I know he was drunk, Mom!
08:45What I don't know is why he got into that car.
08:48You know, maybe if I understood that, this whole thing would start making more sense to me.
08:51We've seen enough.
08:56That is Doug.
08:58At least what he became.
09:01I'm sorry, baby, that this is hard for you, but I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
09:05Hang on, we're missing something.
09:09Take a look at that table.
09:11Wait, what do we miss?
09:13It's the dealer.
09:14He was the last person your father interacted with, so he's the first person we should talk to.
09:18That's a certified creep.
09:20Well, last time I saw him, he was wearing my father's watch.
09:22Uh, but Detective Hawthorne makes a good point.
09:25Maybe Drake could shed some light on Dr. McBride's state of mind.
09:29Would that help you find the closure you're looking for?
09:33Yeah.
09:35I think so.
09:36Well, he's not on the payroll anymore, but I can reach out and get him down here.
09:42Excuse me.
09:44What's wrong, Mom?
09:46Don't you think this is a good idea?
09:49No, I don't know.
09:50They don't.
09:53That's some favor Joey did for you.
09:55Editing you right out of the security footage like you were never here.
09:58That selfish bastard didn't do it for me.
10:01That's the thing you better remember about Joey.
10:03The day he does a selfless act is the day I eat my service weapon.
10:10Yeah, where does he clip your wings?
10:13Retirement papers signed and everything?
10:16Guess the Caribbean will have to wait.
10:18Don't remind me.
10:20First, Joey tells me to be here in case he needs me.
10:32Now he wants me to go to the station.
10:35He has some things he wants me to say about the doctor.
10:37What's he setting me up for?
10:38My advice, follow instructions.
10:41And if I don't?
10:42Better keep your head on the swivel and pray that Joey doesn't cancel your Christmas.
10:47Take a good look.
10:49These are your kids.
10:49I know who they are, Smitty.
10:55Do you?
10:56Because I'm just wondering how you think they fit into this plan.
10:59They deserve to know the full story.
11:02So that's your big plan, just to drop a bomb on their lives.
11:06You're just going to go to them and say, hey, Samantha and Tyrell.
11:09Yeah, remember when we told you that everything was fine?
11:11We actually lied.
11:13Your pops killed someone.
11:14And now the whole family is going to be put on trial for it.
11:16You were the one in this very room who said, this family doesn't do any secrets anymore.
11:22They probably already sense there's more to the story anyway.
11:25Of course they do.
11:27They're teenagers with built-in lie detectors, but sensing and knowing are two very different things.
11:33They're almost grown and out in the world without our protection.
11:38We can't shield them forever.
11:40This isn't about protection, Martin.
11:43This is about them living their lives.
11:46Those two beautiful souls have suffered more than most people do in their entire lives.
11:51Don't you think I know that?
11:53Damn it.
11:55What am I supposed to do?
11:57Martin, stop and think about how selfish this is.
12:01What's going to happen to Vernon, who orchestrated the entire cover-up?
12:05Anita will be charged as an accessory.
12:08Your father reconstructed that bigot's face.
12:11Bill is a pain, but do you really want your cousin's father to go to prison?
12:16And don't even get me started on Joey Armstrong.
12:19Do you think I lose sleep at night wondering what would happen to Joey Armstrong?
12:24Martin, think about what a man like that does when he's backed into a corner.
12:29And how that affects your family.
12:32What good is this grand sacrifice if everyone you love pays the price for it?
12:42Unless...
12:43Unless what?
12:45Unless the offer was the entire point.
12:48Maybe you had no intention of following through with this.
12:51Maybe you just needed me to believe that you would.
12:54How could I be so stupid?
13:01You think that I would have wised up by now?
13:03Smitty.
13:04Do not smitty me with your politician's tone.
13:07I can't even look at you right now.
13:08Smitty.
13:09Do you really believe that I would manipulate you right after just saying that I would do anything to earn your trust?
13:16At this point, I don't know what to believe.
13:20Wow.
13:22You must really think the worst of me.
13:24You've lied to me before.
13:26To protect you, yes.
13:29To shield myself, absolutely.
13:32But...
13:34Not a strategy to play you.
13:37Maybe we're more broken than we thought.
13:40What are you showing me?
13:42Receipts.
13:43This is the text message I sent to Jacob saying that we need to talk.
13:52Here's his response.
13:54Telling us when to meet.
13:56I'm not doing this for show, Smitty.
13:58I was actually going to tell the whole story.
14:02Okay.
14:03Maybe I overreacted.
14:06You think?
14:07And I...
14:12Yes, I heard you in regards to the fallout.
14:17Yeah.
14:17How were you planning on handling that?
14:20I kept telling myself the truth.
14:23That I was protecting Granddad's life and my own.
14:29That somehow I could get through it.
14:31Because I can handle a scandal.
14:34But my husband thinking I'm a fraud?
14:39That's a hit I don't think I can take.
14:40I'm sorry, Martin.
14:49Yeah.
14:51Me too.
14:54Did you see how Vanessa was today?
14:57Like a shell of herself?
14:59Walking, talking, hugging everyone with that polite smile plastered on her face.
15:04But her eyes?
15:06Empty as ever.
15:06That woman needed someone she could lean on today.
15:10Someone who wasn't dealing with her own grief.
15:14Vanessa has someone she could lean on.
15:17But he stayed away.
15:19Who?
15:20Don't hold out on me.
15:22I don't know if I should.
15:23Girl, spill.
15:24I will sit here all night if I have to.
15:27Vanessa seems to be getting uncomfortably close.
15:31With Joey Armstrong.
15:33What?
15:35Are you sure?
15:36I thought marrying Andre was scandalous.
15:40I shouldn't have said anything.
15:41And I don't want to start any gossip.
15:43Are they?
15:44I don't know for a fact if they're sleeping together yet.
15:47But if they haven't, it is definitely headed in that direction.
15:52I guess I better get down there.
15:54Tell them what Joey wants.
15:56Stick to the script.
15:57Doug was drunk, gambled heavy, lost everything, and stumbled out.
16:01Nothing more.
16:02Especially my role in the matter.
16:04Right.
16:05Simple enough.
16:07Hold up.
16:10What now?
16:11I'm coming to.
16:12That wasn't part of the plan.
16:14Don't get your boxes in a bunch.
16:17We'll go separately.
16:18So no one can connect this little performance, obviously.
16:22Then why don't you just stay the hell away?
16:25Because the boss texts me too.
16:28Looks like his highness doesn't trust you to go solo.
16:32You can't imagine why.
16:33I won't mess this up.
16:34Damn straight you won't.
16:35Because if that skittish little brain of yours even flirts with going rogue, you just remember the good doctor's mistake.
16:42And who made sure he paid the price.
16:44I don't understand.
16:46I mean, that shady dealer was the last person to talk to dad.
16:48That is exactly why I don't want to see him.
16:54Talk to me.
16:54I'm sorry, Donnell, but this day has been hard enough.
17:00Standing in front of everyone at that service, pretending to be strong.
17:05Listening to them talk about the Doug they thought they knew.
17:08And how shocked they were that he could have done this, but I was not shocked.
17:14Not one bit.
17:17I'm confused.
17:19What are you saying?
17:21Did you know dad was going to the casino that night?
17:25Did you two fight about it?
17:27Listen, Doug, you've been drinking and we both know how you get when alcohol starts making decisions for you.
17:33And what exactly have you been doing, Vanessa?
17:36Vanessa, while I'm out here with my soul laid bare like some idiot, you're, what, baring your body to a man that only sees you for a play thing?
17:45I didn't know it would lead to this.
17:50My God, don't you think I would have stopped him if I could have?
17:53Look at you, diagnosing Vanessa like she's a case study in one of your psychiatric journals.
18:07Don't be ridiculous.
18:08I'm expressing legitimate concern.
18:10You've heard the rumors about Joey.
18:11Maybe.
18:13But you know what they say about matters of the heart?
18:15It wants what it wants.
18:16Sometimes you can't dictate who someone can be with.
18:20And trying to tends to backfire spectacularly.
18:25Point taken.
18:28Guess that goes for Kat's situation as well.
18:31Part of me feels like I should be intervening.
18:35But she is an adult.
18:36And like Chelsea so astutely pointed out, telling Kat not to do something is like hanging a giant neon go-for-it sign.
18:43It's a pre-women and our taste in men.
18:46I hope that is not your way of transitioning into a conversation about Ted.
18:51Because I cannot handle the emotional excavation right now.
18:54Fair.
18:55Let's talk about Carlton instead.
18:57There is nothing to talk about.
18:59But, despite the FBI-level interrogation you and Chelsea handed him earlier, Carlton and I are just friends.
19:07Oh yeah, not a hint of attraction.
19:10Not after the way he was looking at you at the memorial and in this very room with those bedroom eyes.
19:15And I always give my friend a peck on the lips when I'm saying goodbye.
19:20He is still Ted's partner.
19:22That's why you're counting him out?
19:24Ted doesn't get a vote.
19:26Especially when it's a man you've known since med school.
19:29And when that man is hot buttered toast with cinnamon on top.
19:32Plus you tell everyone who can listen how done you are with Ted.
19:36Yes, but it's not just Ted.
19:39I'm done with love altogether.
19:44I shouldn't have said that.
19:46Accusing you of manipulating me, that was out of line.
19:52But it's how you felt.
19:53That you honestly believe that I would weaponize something as serious as turning myself in.
20:02That's how far we've fallen, Smitty.
20:05And that's why I have to do something drastic.
20:08No.
20:08No, I'm not going to let you fall on some sword, Martin.
20:15Even if you tell the truth, there's no guarantee that a jury will believe you.
20:19Martin, the risk is too big.
20:22Then how do I fix my life?
20:25Are things getting better for you?
20:28Because I feel like I'm left stranded in purgatory, praying that one day I'm worth trusting again.
20:34I'm not keeping you in limbo just to watch you squirm.
20:38Then where's the finish line?
20:41And when?
20:43I don't know.
20:45Then how are you...
20:46Martin, I don't know!
20:48Look, Smitty, I'm a man of action.
20:55Vernon Dupree, if he saw a problem, saw something that was broken,
21:00he would roll up his sleeves, get his hands dirty, and fix it.
21:05I'm not some busted radiator you can tinker with, Martin.
21:09And you didn't just break us.
21:11You betrayed me.
21:12You looked me in the eyes for years, holding a secret that would destroy everything!
21:22Everything that I love!
21:27And there's no quick fix for that.
21:30There's no part that you can order.
21:32There's no switch that you can flip.
21:34Then why won't you at least let me try?
21:38Anything is better than this.
21:40But you're tying both of my hands.
21:43And it's absolutely killing me.
21:47Mom, I'm not trying to make you cry any more than you already are, okay?
21:51He has choices where he's on.
21:53Whatever was going through his head that made him get behind the wheel wasn't for you to fix.
21:59I can't talk to him, though.
22:00All I have to get answers is that video and that guy, Drake.
22:06I understand.
22:09I'm sorry, baby.
22:11I just can't be here anymore.
22:19Thank you, detective.
22:20I'll walk you out.
22:22No, I can do that.
22:24My ex-employee should be here any minute,
22:27so if there's nothing else you need from me, I'll be on my way.
22:29After everything that's happened, please let me walk you to your car.
22:47Your mom's going through it right now.
22:49And it seems like she's not the only one.
22:52You holding up okay?
22:56Define okay.
22:59I thought you left.
23:13After you say something like, I'm done with love?
23:16No way!
23:17What I said...
23:18Is the most unhinged thing I've heard since a stylist tried to convince me gene whiskers were making a comeback.
23:24Is it that ridiculous that I'm not interested in putting myself through the emotional ringer again?
23:30Besides, I am too old to start over.
23:32Don't you dare use that O-word.
23:33We're too close in age.
23:34Unless it's the other O-word, then we can talk.
23:36I'm being serious, Danny.
23:39My career demands everything from me, not to mention my philanthropy work.
23:45Excuse me if I don't want to devote to what little time I have left to some fleeting romance that's bound to go nowhere.
23:51You are trying so hard to make this sound logical.
23:53And what is wrong with being logical?
23:55Love isn't that.
23:57Never has been, never will be.
23:58Plus, making some sweeping declaration like, I'm done with love, is less logical and more, well, me.
24:06Would you like to try that again?
24:09I'm the one who gets jilted, then spins out of control.
24:11I'm the one who obsesses over my ex and lets everything about him drive my whole existence.
24:17I'm the one who...
24:17Runs off and marries a much, much, much younger man in an impromptu Vegas wedding?
24:22If it proves the point, sure.
24:23Remember, Nicole Dupree Richardson, there is only room for one emotional hurricane in this family.
24:29So get out of my lane and get back into your own.
24:33You need to take out your phone and text Jacob and cancel the meeting before he starts wondering and he opens up that whole can of worms again.
24:40We should talk about this more.
24:41No.
24:42We are done talking.
24:44Text him right now or I will take that phone from your fingers and do it myself.
24:48You know I will.
24:53Done.
24:59But that still doesn't answer what's next for us.
25:03I came back.
25:05I slept on the couch.
25:07Moved out when I thought it was the right thing to do.
25:10Yeah, I know.
25:12I hate all the back and forth too.
25:15Now you talk me out of doing the one thing I thought would move the needle for us.
25:19Maybe there's something else.
25:24Y'all still at it?
25:28I thought that was open and shut.
25:29You remember my old partner that you met earlier today.
25:33Sorry again for your loss, kid.
25:38But if you don't mind me saying so, watching your pops at his darkest hour on repeat, it ain't gonna bring you much peace.
25:45With all due respect, detective, I didn't ask for a psychological assessment.
25:50I'm just trying to figure out what my dad's state of mind was before he died.
25:56It's the only piece of the puzzle I'm missing and it's driving me crazy.
25:58I wish I could help, but never met the guy.
26:13I'm Drake.
26:16Guess I shouldn't be surprised you wanted to see me, both things considered.
26:20No, don't sweat it.
26:21It's not about the watch you stole from my father's wrist.
26:24I already apologized for that.
26:27Actually, it's a good thing Joey hit me up when he did.
26:30I was boxing up my apartment with plans to be on the road by sundown.
26:34You leaving town?
26:35That's convenient timing.
26:37There's nothing left for me here.
26:39Joey cut me loose after the watch incident, remember?
26:43For every baller that walks out of that casino stacking paper,
26:47there's five or six more who go home having lost everything.
26:50After a while, that energy begins to weigh you down, you know?
26:54No, save us a sob story.
26:56My father's dead and you were the last one to see him.
27:00So start talking.
27:05How did you get here so fast?
27:08Oh, I know all the shortcuts.
27:09It's practically my business model.
27:12McAllen 18, neat, please.
27:13And for the lady.
27:15Just a water.
27:17Make it a gin martini, please.
27:19I can't blame Donnell for wanting to know more about his father's mindset the night he died.
27:26Same.
27:27This had him like a freight train he never saw coming.
27:30You too.
27:32My God, Joey, my hands were shaking.
27:35I couldn't very well tell my son that his parents got into a vicious fight the night his father died.
27:41Especially when the fight was about you.
27:52Tell us what you remember.
27:55Doc comes in for this high-stakes game.
27:58Loses big.
27:59Instead of bouncing, he sticks around for some blackjack.
28:03Man was on a mission.
28:04To either win it back or go down trying.
28:06No, that doesn't track.
28:08My dad was methodical about everything.
28:10Even down to the way he organized his socks.
28:12But you're saying he kept going after nearly losing it all?
28:14Look, when people get desperate, they don't act like themselves.
28:17No, especially when someone's gassing them up.
28:20When the drinks keep flowing and someone's in their ear telling them that their luck's gonna change.
28:24Who's conducting this interview, detective?
28:26You or Junior here?
28:29Relax.
28:31Is there anything else you want to tell us?
28:33I'd like how you didn't stop my dad from driving.
28:35Not now.
28:35Maryland law doesn't stay.
28:36I know what the law says about server liability and I don't care.
28:41On that video, my dad was weaving back and forth like he'd gone 15 rounds.
28:44But you kept serving him because a drunk loses more.
28:47Is that it?
28:49It's my job to deal cards.
28:51Not babysit grown men.
28:52Look, I feel bad about what happened.
28:57I even stepped away to call Doc an Uber.
28:59When I came back, he was gone.
29:01What was I supposed to do?
29:03Chase the man into the parking lot?
29:05One more thing before we wrap.
29:08At any point, did Dr. McBride mention needing to meet anyone that night?
29:12As far as I know, his only destination was his bed.
29:15Man was in no shape for socializing.
29:19One last thing.
29:20I thought that was the last thing.
29:23Did my dad say anything that might give us insight onto what his state of mind was?
29:28About what he was feeling?
29:30Or thinking?
29:34About my sister?
29:36About my mom?
29:38Or me?
29:39I just need to know something or anything that might help me understand why he would leave us.
29:51Just that he didn't like losing.
29:52But who does?
29:58Alright.
29:59That should do it.
30:00But I'd put the travel plans on hold.
30:02I might have to ask more questions and I'd hate to have to track you down.
30:05Fine.
30:07I'll stay put.
30:17Not what you were hoping for?
30:20No, not even close.
30:21Usually when I'm working through a complicated case, food helps clear my mind.
30:26Come on.
30:27Let's get something.
30:27I got you.
30:28Imagine if Donnell finds out the truth.
30:43Doug and I fought that night, but I wasn't even here.
30:48I was with you in Puerto Rico taking off my wedding ring so we could...
30:52Donnell is strong.
30:53He'll get through this.
30:55And you just need to hold on.
30:57You have nothing to feel guilty about.
31:00Nothing.
31:01But that last call, we were so bitter and angry.
31:08The truth is, Doug brought this on himself.
31:12Every card he played, every drink he swallowed.
31:15His choices, not yours.
31:21When we were at the station and you were in tears, all I wanted to do...
31:27was reach out and comfort you.
31:31Let me be your strength when you can't find any.
31:46Couples therapy.
31:49We'd have to be careful about the secret, of course, but we could air things out.
31:54Dig deep.
31:55You know, it'll be hard, but...
31:57Well, if it's going to work, it has to be.
32:01So you do it?
32:04Hell yeah.
32:07I will camp outside that therapist's doorstep if it meant end in this nightmare.
32:12But will it be enough?
32:16No.
32:19That's only half the solution.
32:24Nice pep talk, but you are way off target.
32:26Am I?
32:28You're the rational one.
32:29I'm the emotional wreck.
32:31You know what?
32:31Let's throw out all the psychobabble and call it what it is.
32:35You're a woman who is scared to death.
32:37Can you blame me after everything I've been through?
32:41So I've built a wall to protect myself.
32:43You call that fear.
32:44I call that wisdom.
32:45You're letting one man's betrayal dictate the rest of your life.
32:48But it wasn't just one man, Danny.
32:51Ted and I were everything to each other.
32:54Strangers would stop us at galas, the grocery store, church, calling our relationship the
33:00gold standard.
33:01And maybe it wasn't the perfection that some thought it was, but it was really good.
33:07Until the rug got pulled out.
33:12Publicly.
33:13Brutally.
33:14I was there.
33:15I know how hard that fall was.
33:18Truly.
33:19But I picked myself back up.
33:22And I might still be a little wobbly, but I am never, ever going to fall like that again.
33:29You call it crazy, Danny.
33:31I call it survival.
33:37I have to leave.
33:44A business matter needs my urgent attention.
33:47But before I go, I owe you an apology.
33:52For?
33:53For being your sister.
33:55You watched my marriage implode and you swore you would never end up like me.
34:00So when it happened to you, you shut down completely.
34:03Danny.
34:03Let me finish.
34:05I set a bad example.
34:07But your heart is too big to close.
34:14Carlton doesn't have to be the one.
34:17But he can be the one for right now.
34:19Therapy aside, I think we need something else that we can build on.
34:34I agree.
34:35Something that we can hold on to and gives us hope that we can push through this.
34:39What were you thinking?
34:44Date night.
34:46Once a week.
34:48Something outside of therapy that we can meet up for.
34:53Something that we can look forward to.
34:54Like we were in our 20s.
34:58Like when we fell in love.
34:59Yeah.
35:01Yeah.
35:01A place where we can reminisce and share and laugh.
35:05God, I miss laughing so much, Martin.
35:08Do you really think we can do this?
35:14Because I can't take it if you change your mind tomorrow.
35:17Okay.
35:18Okay.
35:20It's night.
35:24I want our marriage back more than anything.
35:27And I have to put in the work too.
35:32So this is how we do it.
35:34One step at a time.
35:35One date.
35:36Night at a time.
35:40Then tonight, it is.
35:44This.
35:46What?
35:47You.
35:49Your strength, feeling your arms around me.
35:52I want time to stop.
35:55Wouldn't that be nice?
35:57I don't know what to do, Joey.
35:59There is so much colliding inside of me right now.
36:02I don't know where to put it all.
36:04We'll figure it out.
36:06But that's on hold for now.
36:08Right now, the priority is your son.
36:10Mm-hmm.
36:27I don't know.
