00:07¡Gracias por ver!
00:32Do you think she'd do that?
00:35Sometimes people in pain say things that they don't truly mean.
00:38With mother and treatment and on medication now, I expect her state of mind has improved considerably.
00:45You've made a decision.
00:48What is it?
00:50I spoke with Dr. McCormick, who gave me an inspiring pep talk about one of her patients.
01:00Glad it made an impression.
01:02And the meds are also kicking in, so the pain is starting to subside.
01:09Even better.
01:11But it's not enough, Vernon.
01:15One person's success is another person's definition of failure.
01:21The relief that I'm feeling right now will wear off.
01:24And the effects of the chemo will only intensify with each new round.
01:31And before you know it, I'll be right back where I was when you wheeled me in here.
01:36Sweetheart, there are ways to get ahead of this.
01:40Now, I know the side effects were more debilitating than we anticipated.
01:47No.
01:47No, you don't.
01:50Nor do I ever want you to.
01:52Vernon, I asked the hospital to prepare a DNR.
01:57I'm stopping the chemo.
02:00Vernon, I'm going to let the cancer take its course.
02:03Our keep ruling.
02:30Well, I'm listening to my question.
02:33Fourth, two.
02:37¡Gracias!
03:05¡Gracias!
03:54¡Gracias!
04:03¡Gracias!
04:05¡Gracias!
04:06¿¿Argastú cuánt escuchas tú?
04:07¡Gracias a signing.
04:10¡Gracias a signing.
04:11¡IN toque tú!
04:13¡Gracias a signing.
04:29¡Adi
04:33I know that.
04:35But that doesn't mean you stop treatment.
04:37It doesn't mean you give up.
04:39I'm making a choice.
04:43I won't keep battling cancer if it's going to be like this.
04:47Sweetheart, you can't predict it.
04:49That this torture will get even more agonizing, given the past, it's a safe guess.
04:57Anita.
04:58I have had an amazing life.
05:00One that has surpassed my wildest dreams.
05:04I've seen the world.
05:06Sang to sold-out audiences.
05:08Married the love of my life and raised a beautiful family.
05:11Why are you speaking in the past, Jens?
05:15Because chemo has taught me something.
05:18That I care more about the quality of my life than its length.
05:24These treatments are destroying my body and my spirit.
05:30I will have painkillers on hand.
05:35But I will live the remaining days as I see fit.
05:42Remaining?
05:43That way, I will go out on my own terms.
05:48Rather than suffer, for God knows how long, until the inevitable happens.
05:56It is not fair to me or you.
06:00Now, I want you to ask Danny and Nicole to come in here.
06:05I want them to witness me signing with the DNR.
06:14You and Randy?
06:15Makes me think he has some type of ulterior motives.
06:20Unless you put him up to something.
06:23Wait, you think I suggest that he spin the block?
06:25What do I get out of that?
06:27I don't know.
06:28It's strange.
06:29I mean, his sudden interest?
06:31Especially since he's all up into church now.
06:37Randy?
06:38That's...
06:38Uh-uh.
06:39Unless there's some high-stakes bingo games in the basement.
06:43That can't be true.
06:44No, I swear.
06:45He told me that he's going to services and everything.
06:50It's like that man is at war with who he is versus who he wants to be.
06:53How else would you explain that behavior?
06:57He's either going through a midlife crisis or he's working to angle.
07:01What do you think?
07:04Oh, here we go.
07:05Look, I got to get back at it.
07:09If Kat needs me, you tell her she can call me.
07:11And if you need more time with her tonight, take it.
07:14Thanks, boss.
07:15Yeah.
07:20Hey.
07:22Want to talk about it?
07:23Nothing new to report.
07:25Mom told me to stay put and she'll film me when she can.
07:29She still doesn't want me to alert the family.
07:31That's good advice.
07:32This way no one worries unnecessarily.
07:35Right.
07:37I saw you talking to Bill.
07:39What's he up to?
07:40You want to talk about my boring work with everything you got going on?
07:44Please.
07:45I could use the distraction.
07:47So?
07:48What's the latest at the law offices of Bill Hamilton Esquire?
07:53Hey, I heard you were here.
07:56I hope I'm not intruding.
07:58Come on in, Ted.
08:04So, how am I doing, Doc?
08:07Vitals are good.
08:09Let's hear it from your perspective.
08:11Better now.
08:13But this treatment is taking its toll.
08:16I'm sorry to hear that, Anita.
08:19Look, I know my days as a Dupree adjacent are no longer.
08:24But I will always consider your family.
08:27You're my grandchildren's father.
08:30You're forever family.
08:32You and Nicole did well with Kat.
08:35We're really enjoying having her at the house with us.
08:41Having her at the house?
08:43You didn't know she moved in?
08:46I didn't.
08:48No.
08:49I'm sure she was going to tell you it only happened a few days ago.
08:54But may I offer you some advice?
08:58Please.
09:00Be more proactive with your children.
09:04Don't wait for them to share what's going on with them.
09:10Ask.
09:11Yes, ma'am.
09:13I want to commend you for making up for your absence in Eva's life.
09:20But don't shortchange the children you raised in the process.
09:24It's not fair.
09:25I've always struggled with communication.
09:31All the things left unsaid, they just build up over time.
09:36In retrospect, that's what ruined my marriage.
09:40Do better while you can.
09:43Anything that's weighing on you, that you're putting off till later,
09:48handle it now because your health is not promised.
09:50Trust me.
09:52You're going to beat this, Anita.
09:55Yeah.
09:57Uh, did you need anything?
10:00Yes.
10:02I need you to be more intentional about the life you want to have
10:08and the man you want to be.
10:11Your children will need him after I'm gone.
10:19Daddy!
10:21I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long.
10:23After I left your mother, I needed to check in with her doctor.
10:27Can we see her now?
10:28Uh, in a bit.
10:30What's happening?
10:30Uh, the meds and fluids have brought her pain down, so she's doing better in body.
10:43But in her mind...
10:46Daddy?
10:47In her mind...
10:47In her mind...
10:48In her mind...
10:48Daddy?
10:51It seems your mother has lost her will to live.
10:56Well, that's common in cancer patients to go into a full depression.
11:00Mother will get past that.
11:01She wants to quit her chemotherapy.
11:04What?
11:05If she does that, the cancer's going...
11:07She intends to sign a do-not-resuscitate order.
11:11Oh, come on.
11:13She wants to die on her own terms.
11:16She wants to give up?
11:18You can't let her do that.
11:21I haven't been able to stop Anita from doing what she wants a day in our lives.
11:29She wants you both there when she signs.
11:33Well, we will change her mind.
11:35Yes, we will.
11:36No, this will not be the end.
11:41At this point, I'll take all the help I can get.
11:44Dr. White, dial 16.
11:51Look, the only agenda Randy has is satisfying his own horniness.
11:56If he's got some maniacal plan that involves getting you in his bed, I don't know about it.
12:01Look, I got your damn charges dropped.
12:02Don't I deserve some credit?
12:04You came through?
12:04I can't deny it.
12:06Yeah, I've always had your back.
12:09Like that time in New York.
12:11Oh.
12:12When you distracted that rent-a-cop so that I could boost those designer bags.
12:16Oh, I still remember his breasts.
12:19We had fun.
12:20Didn't we?
12:21The best time.
12:23Oh, and you looked out for me, too.
12:26For sure.
12:26Remember Barry?
12:29How could you leave those credit cards laying around that man's house when you had them in his name, girl?
12:34But, you know what?
12:35You came through.
12:37Mm-hmm.
12:37And that's when I knew you and my ride would die.
12:40We'd take those fools for as much as possible, as long as we could.
12:48And then I met Bill.
12:52And, you know, that's when I realized there was more to life than the con.
12:59Copy of your will as requested?
13:01Oh.
13:02Feeling okay?
13:03Yeah.
13:03Yeah.
13:04I feel fine physically, but I've just been reminded that even the most formidable of us aren't immortal.
13:09And I want to make sure it's up to date.
13:11I understand.
13:12You always advise clients to revise their wills with any life changes.
13:17Let me know if you need anything else.
13:18All right.
13:19Yeah.
13:19Thank you.
13:43Hey, son.
13:45I know you're busy with the campaign, but it's been too long.
13:49Let's, uh, catch up when you get a break.
13:52Maybe we can go dessert hopping like we did when you were a kid, huh?
13:58Love you, Martin.
14:05Hey.
14:09I spoke with Anita.
14:12I didn't overstep.
14:13She called me in.
14:15Okay.
14:16Is she more optimistic about treatment?
14:18You know, we didn't even talk about the chemo.
14:22She was more interested in giving me words of wisdom.
14:26Yeah.
14:26Almost felt like she was saying goodbye.
14:30Yeah, I see that in patients.
14:31When they fear they won't be around much longer.
14:33They try to put out as many gems as possible before it's too late.
14:37I hope she's wrong.
14:38She did say some things that resonated, though.
14:42You know, it's not too late to course correct, and it's, uh...
14:46Yeah?
14:46In what way?
14:47Being more involved with my kids and my grandkids, for one.
14:51We lost our connection since the split, and it's up to me to rectify it.
14:55I could also spend more quality time with you.
14:59Hmm.
15:01Like dinner this weekend?
15:03Bigger.
15:05Look, I know we're new and people have their opinions, but I don't care.
15:11Let's take a vacation together.
15:14Please tell us, Daddy misunderstood.
15:17You do not want to die, right?
15:21Everyone's days on this earth are finite, baby.
15:25But you are actively trying to shorten yours.
15:28I am making the most of what I have left.
15:31The good ones.
15:33Not days like today.
15:36I spoke with Bill.
15:38And with Ted.
15:40It's the first of many conversations I plan to have with the people in my life.
15:45I do not intend to leave here with unfinished business.
15:50So what?
15:51You're embarking on a farewell life tour?
15:53Like you're hitting stadiums with the articulettes?
15:56Saying your last goodbyes?
15:58Nicole, don't be upset.
15:59I know that cancer is unbearable.
16:02But, Mother, you will get past this.
16:04You know that.
16:05No.
16:06I don't.
16:08And you cannot speak to this misery unless you have lived it.
16:12So then why don't we connect you with some cancer survivors?
16:15Maybe hearing their stories will help.
16:17A handful of stories is not going to change my mind.
16:21I won't continue subjecting myself to this brutal treatment,
16:25especially when there are no guarantees I'll live.
16:28Mother, you cannot.
16:29Vernon?
16:30I did not ask you to bring them in here for them to try to change my mind.
16:36I love you far too much to just let you make such a colossal mistake.
16:44I know this is a shock.
16:46And I know it seems unfair.
16:50But you have to trust me.
16:53Nicole, you remember that binder I gave you with instructions for after I'm gone?
16:59How long have you been planning this?
17:01It was supposed to be a last resort.
17:05If treatment failed, you insisting on giving up and not fighting for your life was not part of the deal.
17:13So no.
17:14I am not upholding a thing if this is the decision you're making.
17:25You are the sexiest man I've ever met.
17:31You know that?
17:35What's wrong?
17:37Well, I'm just in a mood.
17:40Oh, okay.
17:41Well, how about I change it?
17:50Or not.
17:54What if I listen?
17:57Bottling up whatever you're feeling won't help.
18:01Anita's battle with cancer isn't going well.
18:06I just don't understand.
18:07She seemed so strong in her interview.
18:10You know, I was thinking, if Anita actually dies...
18:16Yes.
18:17I don't know how Chelsea and Naomi will be able to handle it.
18:20I'd probably fall apart myself.
18:23That's understandable.
18:24I mean, Anita has always been like a mother to you.
18:28Yeah.
18:29If that happens, I'll be here to put you back together.
18:35Danny tested positive for that BRCA gene.
18:37I had a stroke, which puts me at risk for all sorts of issues.
18:40And not to mention that weird blood test that's reminding me that things can change at any time.
18:46Just...
18:48As much as I hate to admit it, I'm already vulnerable.
18:52You know, I may not be here for the kids I already have.
18:56Not to mention a brand new human you and I could bring into the world.
19:00What are you saying?
19:02With all this to consider, I'm not sure I want to have another child anymore.
19:11Is this the female client you mentioned before?
19:14The one whose case Haley got billed to do pro bono?
19:17Same one.
19:18And he got the charges dropped?
19:21But I just can't shake the suspicion that there's more to her story than she's letting on.
19:27What's bothering you about it?
19:29Whenever you're prepping a defense, the first step is a background check.
19:32Usually that report would show former addresses, jobs, schools, outstanding debt, things like that.
19:39And hers?
19:40Her client report came back showing hardly anything.
19:43A birth certificate, a single job in her entire employment history.
19:47Is it possible she's only ever worked and lived in one place?
19:51Maybe, but we also run checks on a client's digital footprint.
19:55Usually that'll turn up website subscriptions, several social media accounts.
20:00But this woman, one account with a couple of posts.
20:03That is weird.
20:04I don't know anybody who's that far off the grid.
20:08You don't think I'm overreacting?
20:10Not at all.
20:11I've heard enough crime podcasts to know.
20:14Nobody's spotless unless they're hiding something.
20:17She probably had a completely different identity before coming to you.
20:22I had fun the other night.
20:24Is that an all I am?
20:26Just fun?
20:28Um, what do you want me to say?
20:31I had the thrill of my life.
20:33That you rocked my world.
20:37That my body remembers still how you made it feel.
20:41You're hot.
20:42We fit.
20:46Me too.
20:51But then on the other hand, wasn't it you who just said, what was it?
20:54That you were immune to me?
20:56And then out of the blue you want to start showing public this place of affection?
21:00So what happened, lover?
21:03What can I say?
21:04People get urges.
21:05Right.
21:06So it was just a simple what?
21:08Biological reaction?
21:09Nothing more.
21:10Nothing less.
21:11Come on, Randy.
21:12I know when you're working an angle.
21:14Either you tell me now, or I find out.
21:18I'll make you pay for it.
21:20Do you really expect me to believe my logical, type A, firstborn daughter will let things
21:27fall apart if I don't die the way she wants?
21:30Anita.
21:31Not for one second will I entertain the thought that you will let this family down because
21:36you're not getting your way.
21:37Not getting our way?
21:38You're the one being selfish.
21:40Danny.
21:40No, no.
21:41You would deprive us of what could be decades more time with you because you're having a
21:45rough week?
21:46And what happens if the cancer comes back?
21:49Or if this chemo doesn't even work?
21:53Or that the next round breaks me down even more?
21:57You want to see your mother wither away to the place where you're feeding me and clothing
22:02me and bathing me?
22:03And is that what you want for your mother?
22:06I said in sickness and in health, and I meant every word.
22:10Vernon, this isn't...
22:12If she stopped, could she resume chemo again?
22:16Yes.
22:17But this is an aggressive cancer which requires an aggressive treatment.
22:23With every session you miss, mother, it becomes more likely that the cancer will spread.
22:32I know you all don't agree with me, and that's fine.
22:38But I hope one day you'll understand why I can't keep letting them pump that dreadful chemical
22:47into my body.
22:56What do you think about Joshua Tree?
23:00Nothing but open sky and beautiful desert for miles.
23:04Imagine us cozying up in a sleeping bag looking up at the night stars.
23:11Let me make sure I'm understanding correctly, because it sounds like you're suggesting camping.
23:16You want me, Shanice, to sleep on the ground with dirt and bugs.
23:22You know, they do have these things called tents.
23:26Ted, I don't even like birds.
23:27Now you want me to be on first name basis with crawly nature?
23:31Okay, what would you prefer, hmm?
23:35Ooh, Miami, baby.
23:37South Beach.
23:38We can get like an ocean view suite, hit the strip, soak up some sun, dance till sunrise.
23:46You mean like a tourist trap.
23:48I'm sorry, is that too lowbrow for your taste?
23:52Oh, I will have you know I love a good old tacky, touristy trip.
23:56Hmm, you and a bikini, you know, that gets my attention.
24:02So, you're giving up on us having a baby?
24:05It's not like I don't love the idea of making a Bill Jr.
24:09Or even an adorable Minnie Haley, but, you know, I'd want to give them the world.
24:14But if I'm not around, you could end up raising our kid alone.
24:16Listen, I've had fears and doubts about getting pregnant again.
24:22And, you know what, this isn't a decision we have to make today, okay?
24:30Yeah, thanks for being so understanding.
24:33Yeah.
24:35When you've had time to sit with this, we'll revisit it.
24:42But only when you're ready, okay?
24:46Okay.
24:51Women love questioning a good thing.
24:53There's nothing going on here except soul-snatching sex.
24:58Okay, it's been a while.
25:00And the caliber of women that come into the casino are not exactly checking for the hired help, you feel
25:04me?
25:05Is that your roundabout way of saying that you're lonely?
25:08I am.
25:10And it took a while for me to own it.
25:14But there is still something about you.
25:18And after all this time, having you back to school...
25:21Look, let me stop you before you put a flower in my hair.
25:25You see that empty glass over there?
25:28It wasn't me pre-gaming.
25:30It was me and Haley catching up.
25:32And you and I both know how loose-lipped she gets when that look at your sister.
25:38So I'm going to give you one more chance to admit what's going on.
25:46Seems you can't think of one good reason to keep up the good fight.
25:51So I'm going to name a few.
25:55First, your granddaughter's wedding.
25:58Chelsea will be the picture of perfection.
26:01And I know you want to be there to choose her gown.
26:04And to see Chelsea and Madison share their first dance.
26:07Not to mention getting all the juicy gossip from Chelsea's messy influencer friends.
26:13You really want her to start that next phase of her life without the presence of her grandmother.
26:18And then there's all that work you did for Samantha in her debut.
26:22I know for a fact you don't want to miss seeing her get crowned Platinum Deb in front of Anastasia
26:27and her granddaughter.
26:28She goes by Chessie now. Reminds me a little rat.
26:32Soon after, Tyrell.
26:35His graduation.
26:37College.
26:39Choosing a major.
26:40Pledging.
26:41And my anniversary.
26:42Andre and I are throwing the hottest party Fairmont Crest has ever seen.
26:46We might even bring down Jimmy from Philly.
26:51You may think it's finished.
26:54But there are many more chapters in the Book of Dupree.
27:01Don't you want to see what happens next?
27:06Do you think that maybe she's been lying about who she is this entire time?
27:12Was the case serious?
27:14Serious enough that a conviction would have meant multiple years in prison.
27:17Yeah.
27:19Was it Lynette Wise?
27:21Embezzlement?
27:22Can't confirm.
27:23Privileged.
27:24Well, let's just say I'm right since I usually am.
27:29What does Bill think?
27:31I showed him that barely anything came up in our due diligence.
27:35He just shrugged it off and said that happens occasionally.
27:38After that...
27:40He got the charges dropped.
27:42Why would he do that?
27:45Apparently, it was a request from Haley.
27:48Since this client was with her when she was mugged, Haley felt like she owed her.
27:56Hmm.
27:57Now this is definitely shady.
28:01What Haley say?
28:03What do you think she said?
28:05Lynette, don't play games with me.
28:07Did you tell her about us?
28:08Because I sure didn't.
28:10It turns out you don't kiss into her.
28:13Haley doesn't know a thing.
28:15The way I live my life is nobody's business but mine.
28:20I wouldn't tell Haley anything.
28:21She'd probably just run back and tell you.
28:23Yeah, with intel, you probably fed her.
28:25Okay, you need to relax.
28:26Have another drink.
28:28Nobody's out to get you.
28:30Look, I'm working an honest job at the casino.
28:34Haley is happily married.
28:37Now, we can keep going back and forth.
28:42Or we can go do something we both really enjoy.
28:46She'll call her, boo.
28:50Losing Anita would be a ripple effect on the entire family.
28:55If that happens, Chelsea and Naomi will need you.
28:59And look, you can't be there for them if you're busy with a newborn.
29:02I get it.
29:02I don't even know what to say.
29:05I mean, you're really okay with putting your future on hold for me?
29:09One of the reasons I love you is because you take such good care of everyone in your orbit.
29:17Whether it's me, your kids, your clients.
29:20We are all so fortunate to experience your support and your vision, babe.
29:28And this is just one of those things.
29:30You're amazing, Haley.
29:34Tonight, how about I take care of you?
29:38How does that sound?
29:41Perfect.
29:42Like you.
29:46I hear you.
29:48And even though I know it's hard to believe right now, I love you.
29:55Vernon, please give me that folder.
29:58Mother, please.
29:59I'm begging you.
30:01Don't sign it, Mom.
30:04After everything we discussed, everything you heard today, you still want to do this?
30:11If you don't give it to her, she can't sign it.
30:18Well, if there isn't a signature, it's not valid.
30:22Danielle.
30:23No, Mother.
30:24No.
30:28Give it to me.
30:38It's okay.
30:39We just have to trust that your mother is making the right decision for herself.
30:47Even if it breaks all our hearts.
30:50The best decision I ever made was marrying me.
30:54Thank you for the beautiful life you gave me.
31:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
31:21Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
31:27oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
31:27Gracias por ver el video.
32:24Gracias por ver el video.
32:27Gracias por ver el video.
33:34Ah, yes, she gave me the push I needed, although I didn't love how it came about.
33:41Shanice, I know you're aware of the decision my mother was facing.
33:45I'm happy to relay that she has changed her mind.
33:49She is going to keep fighting for her life.
33:51Hopefully we have her around for many, many years to come.
33:54All right.
34:22All right.
34:24Shanice maintained composure.
34:27She stood tall, leaned on her principles.
34:31But today, she wanted to give up.
34:38She wanted to quit chemo and let whatever would happen, happen.
34:44I'm trying to convince her to stay with us.
34:47I'm glad you did.
34:51And this whole thing has got me in some sort of existential crisis, too.
34:57In what way?
35:00No.
35:02Hayley and I have been, you know, talking about trying for a baby.
35:06But I'm having second thoughts.
35:08You know, it hit home that I might not even be around to raise him or her.
35:12So now you have an upset wife on top of everything else?
35:16No, no.
35:17No, actually, she was surprisingly understanding.
35:21She sees how affected I am by Anita's condition.
35:25She knows, like everyone else, your mother's one in a million.
35:29You fight dirty.
35:32Getting the girls to remind me of all the things I have to look forward to.
35:37It was a by any means necessary situation.
35:42I've always been able to find the silver lining, to see the glasses half full.
35:48You've met a new version of yourself today.
35:51This illness is changing me.
35:55And the pain will come back.
35:58And we'll do whatever it takes to make you comfortable as you fight this.
36:03Okay.
36:06Thank you for not giving up.
36:14Thank you.
36:16Thank you.
36:19Thank you.
36:21Thank you.
36:22Thank you.
36:32Gracias por ver el video.
