00:21I'm sorry you have to go through this pain, I love you.
00:31That's my prayer, I promise, my identity.
00:41I love you, Anita.
00:48Did you get the all clear text yet?
00:51By the time we're done with our frittata, she'll have her face on for us.
00:55I never imagined daddy playing bouncer at our childhood home.
00:58At least we have your little lady on the inside.
01:01Which has been good for them and for Kat.
01:04How's she doing with the roomy withdrawal?
01:07Change is not Princess Kat's first language.
01:11But faced with what grands are going through, she's snapped too.
01:17They're her entire focus.
01:19Everyone's stepping up.
01:21When Bill Hamilton showed up on mother and daddy's doorstep yesterday.
01:25And he got past daddy?
01:27He came bearing a sweetener.
01:28He had the construction stopped at Leslie's house.
01:31Ah, so he came by to preen.
01:33Daddy asked him to do it, so he did it.
01:34For now.
01:37What else did Bill do?
01:40He stopped by my place after.
01:43Hoping to get rewarded for his good deed with some of your sweetness?
01:47No.
01:49He was actually shook by how mother looked.
01:53We joked, but he's had some real distance and he was struck by the difference between the last time he
01:59saw her and now.
02:01Had him reaching back to his OG trauma.
02:04His mother's depression?
02:06Yeah.
02:07He knows it's not the same, but watching her sink to the depths, no matter how hard he tried to
02:13love her.
02:15You are not going to make me feel bad for Bill.
02:18Wouldn't dream of it.
02:20And of course he's hit.
02:22He's got an extra layer of guilt.
02:24Our parents took him in like their own son, and he repaid them by breaking your heart.
02:29Mother and daddy got the two bad son-in-law special.
02:33Mm-mm.
02:34We are not taking this to the Ted place.
02:37I am in very happy single woman mode.
02:40Now that's where I want to go.
02:42Tell me something good.
02:43Oh, do we have to?
02:45We must.
02:46I am in very happy.
03:08Max Rodriguez.
03:09He's a courier.
03:10room six. There are guys waiting for him outside the main entrance and they're not packing balloons
03:15and candy. He best avoided. Hurry up.
03:57Hey ladies. Hey yourself. Was the guy in six already taken down for tests? No one's home.
04:06Rajiga's stab wound? Yeah that's the one. Patel wants me to rerun his blood. I just processed
04:13Rajiga's discharge papers. Now root on me this Romeo. What's Dr. Patel thinking ordering new
04:18tests when the patient's already out the door? Good morning again. I'm sorry I dozed off on you.
04:31You needed the rest. Don't get up. We have a date with our daughters. And they can wait. No there's
04:40so
04:40much to do. Not when you're in more pain today than yesterday. I can see it now. I could see
04:47it when
04:48you were asleep. Well then I'm just gonna have to give back those shiny statues with my name on them.
04:53Best actress. My. Oh. That's it. We're going. No. No. If I go in the hospital I might not come
05:04out.
05:11How's the drop? To be determined. What do you mean? Were you clocked? Not me. Rodriguez.
05:18They put another hit on Max? Look all I know for sure is there were made men outside of Garland.
05:22I
05:22recognize one from the truck driver. He's not picking up. Well I need to go over there. I think
05:28I got a message to him. You think? Rand already got his pound of flesh. We can't have him or
05:33one of
05:33his thugs from the red market ring circle back to finish. We have to get him out now. Wait wait
05:38hang
05:38on. I asked Grayson to tell Max so he can find a quarter exit. You told Grayson about Max? Yeah
05:44man I
05:45didn't have a choice. The Rashad facade works out here but on the third floor of Garland they see
05:49right through it. Hell of a way to figure out who Grayson Perez really is. When Max's life depends
05:54on the answer. Patel says job by job. Tyler's just changing. I would check again. Will do.
06:06I bet the lab's receptionist and Patel's nurse just got their wires crossed.
06:10Hmm. We'll see about that.
06:26Max Rodriguez. That was fast. I wouldn't normally ask for anything but this hurts like hell. I'm not here with
06:33your prescription.
06:36I'm here with a message.
06:39I read received. Okay. Relax. This is from Rashad.
06:44This isn't making any kind of sense. There's no order for blood at all.
06:48Hmm. Well Dr. Patel's nurse must have deleted it. I'll catch Grayson. Rodriguez doesn't need to spill more blood.
06:55There's a surface elevator at the end of the hall. You're gonna take that down to the loading dock. From
06:59there you get on the main road and you disappear.
07:02Knock knock. Mr. Rodriguez. I, uh, am here to rescue you from this guy.
07:07Hey, Dr. Patel, uh, deleted that additional order for blood work.
07:10Oh, yeah. Thank you for catching that.
07:12Yeah. Um, I'll just get a chair in here and we can wheel you out.
07:15No. No.
07:16No?
07:17Uh, Mr. Rodriguez is waiting for his prescription.
07:20Oh, gosh. Of course. You know what? Um, just, just give me a few minutes.
07:29Thanks, I, uh, you can thank me by keeping your mouth shut.
07:34If anyone finds out that I tipped you off.
07:36You and I both will end up back here.
07:39No. No, you're not gonna have to worry about the guys out there.
07:41I'll finish the job myself. Now go.
07:53I let my fears get the better of me yesterday. Don't follow that example.
07:57I'm being realistic. You're refusing to see the state I'm in.
08:00Do you agree that you're in pain?
08:02I don't want to go.
08:04Have you been able to keep any of your medications down?
08:06Vernon, listen to me.
08:08I am listening to you and what I hear is the chemo talking.
08:11The hospital is...
08:12The hospital is where you can get the help you need.
08:15Where they will manage these side effects and give you some relief.
08:18Mm.
08:19Please, Anita.
08:22I...
08:23It's not what I want.
08:26Well, you can tell me how wrong I am when we're on the way.
08:30But we're going.
08:32All right.
08:35I'll go.
08:36Not because I'm agreeing with you, but...
08:38I just don't have the energy to fight you.
08:42I'll have Titus bring the car around.
09:02One sec, I just, um, I need to wrap up with Rodriguez.
09:05Uh, he said his ride was here.
09:07I would have pulled him to wait, but he was getting anxious.
09:11Poor thing.
09:12Well, I know he can get that prescription at any pharmacy, but I would have wheeled him past ours on
09:16the way out.
09:17Well, however he got stabbed must have been traumatizing.
09:20He was so shaken.
09:21I'm just glad he didn't bolt out of here in his gown.
09:24Yeah, poor guy.
09:27I thought you had the night shift.
09:30Yeah, I just want to finish some charts.
09:33The chief gave me a little nudge.
09:36Leah's giving you trouble?
09:37Yeah, she just wanted to light my fire.
09:39If I want to move up, I have to be perfect.
09:42You already are perfect.
09:44But I get keeping our boss happy.
09:48I should get back to the lab.
09:49You can make me happy?
09:51Lunch?
09:53You just pulled an all-nighter.
09:54I can rally.
09:58Brain check.
09:59I got a lot more going on today than I expected.
10:07Max got out clean.
10:08I'm gonna take him someplace safe.
10:10Alright, yeah, I'll come with.
10:11No, Rashad.
10:12You've already taken enough risk for one day.
10:14Look, I'm still the cop here, remember?
10:16And besides, I don't need you taking any more chances.
10:18I'll watch my back.
10:21Max is my source.
10:22And he helped us.
10:23I'm not gonna let anything happen to him.
10:26I have to go.
10:27He's waiting.
10:29Just take care of yourself out there, man.
10:37Chelsea cast a little more Chelsea and a little less cat right now.
10:41You guys okay?
10:43Chelsea's on board.
10:45And living in my own wing at the Grands.
10:48If Naomi, Chelsea, and Martin weren't married or engaged, all the third gen would fight to move in.
10:54I'd pay to see that Dupree Fight Club.
10:56I'm small but I'm scrappy.
10:58Yeah, you are.
10:59But you don't have to put on your brave face for me.
11:03She just has to get through this rough patch.
11:07But when you said it would be hard seeing her struggle up close.
11:10I wish I'd been wrong.
11:12I wouldn't trade it.
11:14Grand's go-to is to close ranks and not let anyone see her like this except for Grandad.
11:22But she's starting to get used to me being there and letting down her guard.
11:28Is it okay for me to say I'm proud of you?
11:30I honestly feel so honored to be there.
11:36I feel honored being able to talk to you like this.
11:39Let me be where you relax and let loose.
11:41We'll do whatever you need.
11:42We can go out or stay in.
11:45Salsa or slow dance.
11:47We can work out or eat breakfast.
11:49Tell me what you need.
11:51And I'll make it happen.
11:53If Carlton and Kyle were cars, who would you drive for 100,000 miles?
11:56It is not a competition.
12:00It is more of an exploration.
12:03Okay.
12:04If Andre weren't the best thing I had ever tasted,
12:07I would be pulling up a chair next to you at the sexy man buffet.
12:09Dani!
12:10Where is the lie?
12:11We both spent way too long on our starter husbands.
12:14No, no.
12:15We have to be honest now in this post-Bill and Ted's not-so-excellent adventure.
12:20So I am checking in.
12:22Where's your heart?
12:26Intellectually, physically, Carlton and I line up.
12:30We love to see movies, plays.
12:33He's funny and sweet.
12:35And after I see him, I want to see more, you know?
12:39And with Kyle?
12:41It's like no other man exists.
12:45Oh.
12:46Conceivably, you could keep both.
12:48But I don't think Carlton would keep his cool that long.
12:51He is the one who wants to be Mr. Nicole.
12:55Actually, Kyle made a couple of surprising moves himself.
12:58In the bedroom?
13:00Yes.
13:01He just signed a lease at Barrington Towers.
13:04That new building that is oh so close to Fairmont Crest.
13:09And he gave me a key to his place.
13:12So someone ended up catching feelings after all.
13:15He said it didn't have to mean anything.
13:17And he just wanted me to have full access.
13:20No strings, no expectations.
13:23Just whenever I wanted.
13:24Just full access.
13:27Sounds like there is a front runner in the Nicole bracket.
13:31I don't want to do Carlton like that.
13:33He has been good for me.
13:35But?
13:38Kyle is giving me something that I've been looking for.
13:42An open door, complete with your own key.
13:48Mrs. Dupree.
13:50Senator, what happened?
13:52Yesterday, she hit her wall.
13:54It's been worse by the hour.
13:56Need medication?
13:57Can't keep it down.
13:59All right, well, we'll get you admitted and contact Dr. Bauer
14:02with your permission.
14:05Thanks.
14:06Tell me what you're experiencing.
14:09The fatigue and nausea have intensified.
14:12So has the pain.
14:14Where does the rank of the pain happen?
14:17From one to ten?
14:18Ten.
14:18Ten.
14:19Make that a 15.
14:22We'll get you comfortable, okay?
14:24Dr. Bauer?
14:25I'm with his office.
14:27Would you please stay in case he has any questions?
14:30Of course.
14:31Right behind you, my love.
14:40Did Max make it out okay?
14:42Yeah.
14:43Good.
14:45But that wasn't cool dropping that on me on the elevator.
14:47Listen, man, I owe Max.
14:49And I couldn't make it to him without raising suspicion.
14:51But you?
14:52You could.
14:53So no harm, no foul.
14:55That's not entirely true.
14:56One of those guys made it inside?
14:58No, Ashley walked in on me right after I warned him.
15:01And Shanice's spidey senses were going up.
15:03But you handled it.
15:05But this is where this ends.
15:06I don't owe anyone anything.
15:08Look, relax, man.
15:09Everything's going to shake out the way it's supposed to.
15:11Are you messing with me?
15:13They didn't just nick Max, okay?
15:14They marked him out good to teach him a lesson.
15:17Same thing could happen to me, or worse.
15:20So don't stand there talking like you could stop something that's already happening.
15:27Daddy, just tell mother to throw in some lip gloss.
15:30We're at the hospital.
15:31Can you tell your sister?
15:33She's with me.
15:34What happened?
15:36She had a bad night.
15:38And a worse morning.
15:40We're on our way.
15:40Don't try to stop us from coming, because...
15:42Come.
15:43But there's no rush.
15:44They're admitting her.
15:45The doctor's here.
15:46Bye, baby.
15:48As you know, Anita asked me to consult.
15:50Dr. Bauer?
15:52Is unavailable at the moment, but he'll be here as soon as he can.
15:55I'm so grateful to have someone of your expertise on Anita's team.
15:59What can you tell me?
16:00Well, until we get the blood work and run scans, you know more than I do.
16:04Fill me in.
16:04I need to see Anita.
16:07We can talk while you take me to her.
16:09Yes.
16:15Hi.
16:16We'll get you hooked up to some pain meds as soon as possible.
16:21It comes in waves, right?
16:23More like squalls.
16:26When it hits, just inhale.
16:28And exhale through the squall.
16:35Yeah, that's it.
16:38Thanks.
16:40Your heart rate's slightly elevated.
16:43BP's a little low.
16:44You have a low-grade fever.
16:46Your vitals aren't cause for alarm, though.
16:49No.
16:49Just my entire body.
16:55Okay, Probyrus ordered blood panel and a urinalysis,
16:58plus an IV drip for fluids, fever, and pain.
17:01I'll pull your IV and get you started.
17:03If you don't want any water, how about some juice?
17:07No, but I do need something.
17:09Is Vernon out there?
17:10Yeah, he's in the hallway talking to Dr. McCormick.
17:12I can grab him.
17:13No, no.
17:14No.
17:15I have the right to update my file without anyone being informed, correct?
17:24Yes.
17:25You control what information is disseminated.
17:28Good.
17:29Because I want a sign and do not resuscitate order.
17:37Max is safe, man.
17:38You don't got to pop off.
17:40I thought I could get my mom into a good place without this thing changing me.
17:44What happened?
17:45I warned him.
17:47I warned Max not to tell our friends outside about me.
17:50Come on, man.
17:50Max doesn't even know your name.
17:51He knows my face, and he knows I work at Garland.
17:54Max wouldn't rat.
17:56Yeah, the look on his face after I threatened said as much made me sick.
18:02Grayson, man.
18:04You know, I justified doing this thing by telling myself that I would never get my hands bloody for real.
18:13But this is who I am now.
18:16I may not have laid a hand on Max, but I might as well have.
18:19but it gets rooted in the water believing inside the water and putting my breath together for her to live.
18:49Which I believe that's always been Noel?
18:51we've taken blood and that drip's starting to make her comfortable
18:54she's miles from comfortable the medicine takes time but you can go hold her hand and work your
19:00own magic can i talk to you yes
19:14i know you hate being hooked up to all these
19:19i hope you can see now that it was best to come here
19:26hiding out was no answer

19:35i haven't seen that look since my sister told you no spring flame
19:40what i wouldn't give to have those kid problems again
19:42i was updating the forms we have patient sign insurance medical history medical directives
19:50you don't have to mind your hipaa with me chanise mrs dupree asked me to consult
19:55she wants to change her advance directive she wants to stop treatment and sign at bnr
20:00and that is her right patients can make that choice at any time so long as they have the
20:06capacity to understand the risks benefits and alternatives
20:10our impersonal beliefs should not be a factor it is in my professional opinion that she was under
20:15extreme duress and that temporary pain shouldn't determine if she stays in the world please just
20:22just make sure this is what she really wants i'll do what i can thanks but i want the forms

24:38back yeah i've gotten used to alone this year you've been in this for a year yeah well i'm still
24:47new
24:47and i'm still trying to figure out how deep this goes how many people are garland are involved in
24:52this ring the ring's designed just so you know what you do nothing else well you've got to have a
25:00contact there right i'm only contacted through text because that's how the guy at the top likes it and
25:06that's the way i like it
25:10i don't even like knowing you i gotta get back to the lab
25:20granddad was so sure she'd be okay if i would have known i hey hey what could you have done
25:26that
25:26your grandfather didn't do since you don't know anything for sure stop what ifing and focus on
25:33helping when your grand gets home yeah if she comes home cancer's a thief
25:44stealing every which way that she can manage she can't read because her fingers hurt
25:53she has to lean on me to take even a few steps because she won't use the walker
26:00and this morning
26:05this morning she could barely sit up at all we're glad you got her here daddy
26:10what is dr bauer saying he's not here yet monica's with her monica
26:16dr monica mccormick she's seanice's aunt she's head of one of the oncology departments at md anderson
26:24oh that's one of the largest cancer centers in the world and this dr mccormick she's given her
26:29something for the pain then she'll feel better and can accept that the rest of her extraordinary life
26:38is just on the other side of this dark chapter i'm not so sure about that
26:48this is not the time to underestimate yourself
26:52i keep waiting to hit bottom
26:56that worst day before this turning point you mythologized
27:03but it does not come i had a patient who compared it to being in a holding pattern on a
27:09plane
27:10you don't jump out of a plane because it's circling especially when there are still many moves to make
27:17there are medications used with your current treatment that can mitigate the side effects
27:25but first i want to pinpoint the cause of your pain pain isn't usually associated with your current
27:31regimen so what i have some other kind of cancer or something else entirely i mean i don't want to
27:37know
27:37even if it could end this pain i have never been more certain
27:46that the body and spirit are separate things i have loved this body it has served me well
27:58this is the body i've enjoyed and employed
28:02the one that wined and dined and traveled and ran and swam
28:07and the one that danced all over those stages and belted out all that music
28:15the one that vernon worshiped and gave me my children
28:22but right now this is a house
28:26of pain and it's smoking me out
28:31and heaven helped me my spirit wants to be free of it
28:36and what about that man out there and your big fabulous family

28:47grave isn't it up to him how much he can handle up to all of them i can't keep watching
28:54my family hurt
28:55because i'm hurting
29:00this morning
29:04this morning
29:08i
29:11felt myself losing that last piece that ties me to this body
29:19what piece is that
29:21my
29:25i tried to sing
29:30but the chemo has left my throat raw
29:36and scorched
29:39there was only this dry burning whisper
29:44that used to be where my music lived
29:51every breath scraped across my throat
29:54like glass
29:59my voice
30:01is me
30:03and it's gone
30:06i'm already gone
30:09my family just doesn't know it yet
30:13now
30:15why don't you let me see what's in that file
30:18are you going to continue to stand there and act like i don't know my own mind
30:31i got back
30:32settled now he can start mending up
30:35thank goodness
30:37thank grayson
30:38how's he
30:40well i'm tight
30:41but i made some headway
30:43i pressed him for some info in the hierarchy but he told me he's completely in the dark that he
30:47only
30:47gets his messages through text
30:49and you don't believe him
30:51nah he's been at this for a year
30:53so i'm assuming he's met or seen his contact at garland at least once
30:58well keep working him
31:00something's got to give and hopefully that's grayson
31:03this could just be a setback not the setback
31:08you're right
31:10and you're late
31:12you shouldn't have to sit here and watch me worry
31:16there's no place i'd rather be
31:18nothing's more important than you
31:26you called me the anita whisperer once
31:32yesterday i tried to shout down your mother's fears
31:36you had a fight
31:38i was trying to lift her up
31:41but i had the opposite effect
31:44if mother didn't have bad days through all of this i would be worried
31:49this is different
31:52then maybe it's time we send this red devil packing and get a new medicine
31:57it's more than that
32:00i know that woman's will
32:05i'm afraid she's giving up her fight
32:12here's the dnr but i want to make sure that you understand what no extraordinary measures mean
32:17if your heart stops there is no cpr or any resuscitation attempts
32:24and then there is the question of nutrition
32:26chanice filled me in on all the inglorious details
32:31i had a patient charlotte who had the same initial diagnosis her cancer metastasized
32:37name a cancer she had it and we treated it and she fought
32:42she was cured her tumor shrunk enough for her to go home but 18 months later they roared back
33:03oh that's your idea of an uplifting story
33:09every patient wants a cure
33:12she was cured her but my goal is time charlotte wanted to meet her granddaughter she made it to
33:18her first birthday aren't there to pre-events milestones that you want to be there for
33:27so many but how does that work me having a coughing fit or passing out while my great
33:37granddaughter is dancing at her cotillion i will not pull focus so then you don't want to be there at
33:42all it's quality of time that matters with any grace i can laugh rather than grit my teeth in pain
33:58or i can hug instead of nearly breaking at my husband's touch or maybe
34:06just maybe i'd be able to sing at my granddaughter's wedding what if i were to tell you
34:17that this too shall pass with certainty would that be worth today's pain
34:28charlotte had a year and a half you could have so much more time the operative word there is could
34:41you're anita dupree you have built your life on defying every rule and that is a double-edged sword
34:50because you have broken down every barrier and then everything fell into place
34:54and on the other side you've been used to being the exception to the rule cancer does not care
35:02what your name is we are trying to give you more time but you need to give us the opportunity
35:08to
35:09find the right medicine to find the right treatment time for you not to give up
35:16but no guarantees right you'd have a chance and you are anita dupree and lady i'd take those odds any
35:28day
35:32ladies are you uh all caught up here all set i'll check on you thank you
35:50are you coming down from the pain a little good
35:58nicole then danny wanna hug their mother i want to hug them right back but first i need to talk
