Short filmTranscript
00:04Leave it to you to cut to the heart of it.
00:06I think that's what I love about you the most.
00:08You're always real and honest with me.
00:12Hold up.
00:14You love me?
00:19No, I mean, I just, I want you to know
00:22how incredible I think you are.
00:26I shouldn't have put you on the spot like that.
00:27It's...
00:28Well, I could have phrased it better.
00:30No, it's okay.
00:31Really, no need to explain.
00:33I know what we are.
00:37What does that mean?
00:41I'm sure you have questions.
00:42Just one.
00:45When exactly did Joey start making you feel alive?
00:51Was that before or after Dad died?
00:54Can you show us this?
00:56You're the one who co-signed on this whole ambush
00:58and helped her pin me in the boot.
00:59You wouldn't talk to me otherwise.
01:01Well, I'm stuck here now, so let's talk.
01:03But this time, be straight with us.
01:05I have been.
01:06I was devastated after your father passed
01:09when I said those words, clumsy as they were.
01:12What I meant was that Joey helped me find my way back
01:16after that very troubling time.
01:19We get it, Mom.
01:21We get it, Mom.
01:21Your creepy-ass lover was the answer to all your prayers.
01:24You just couldn't wait for Dad to go.
01:27My whole life was wrapped up in Doug.
01:30Yeah, then why throw the affair in his face?
01:32I did no such thing, Deanna.
01:34I was grieving.
01:35All those galas and cocktail parties,
01:38playing the perfect white for the camera,
01:40all while you were sneaking around with that bottom-feeding hustle.
01:42Enough!
01:44You think you have all the answers because you're angry.
01:50You don't understand.
01:51I get it all too well.
01:53It's just, I don't...
01:55No.
01:56I'm tired of her gaslighting us.
01:58The second I saw you with him,
01:59I knew exactly what it was.
02:01And don't tell me Dad didn't too.
02:02I'm tired of her gaslighting us.
02:37I'm tired of her gaslighting us.
02:38Don't tell me the spa double booked your appointment again.
02:42No, I figured I'd get back into kickboxing.
02:45Best way to sweat out my aggressions
02:47without traumatizing some poor Chelsea Kat production manager.
02:51Hmm.
02:51Who's the true target?
02:53The walking red flag that married into our family.
02:57Well, what's Hayley done now?
02:58Suddenly decided Tomas is public enemy number one,
03:01and I can't figure out if it's jealousy or boredom
03:04or just her hobby of collecting ops like Birkin bags.
03:08But she's circling and I can't figure out how to shut her down.
03:14Yet.
03:15You don't think I have the answer.
03:17Well, you did used to be her bestie.
03:19Okay, correction.
03:20I thought we were.
03:21But she was just biding her time,
03:24looking for a crack in my parents' mirror
03:26so she could blow them up.
03:29Well, hypothetically,
03:30if you had seen it coming,
03:32how would you have handled it?
03:35I'm gonna have to plead the fifth on that one.
03:48Hey, Lee Hamilton.
03:50Those bills better half.
03:53Joey, this is unexpected.
03:57Well, life is full of surprises.
03:59You know, I came across some intel
04:01I think you might find useful.
04:03Any chance you can stop by the casino?
04:06We have a major case coming up.
04:09And?
04:10As an indispensable member of our legal team,
04:13I am needed at the office.
04:14Why can't you just tell me over the phone?
04:16Where's the fun in that?
04:18I'm sure you can come up with some excuse to step away.
04:22You always do.
04:24You're making assumptions.
04:26And do yourself a favor.
04:28Don't mention this to Bill.
04:29I'll see you when you get here.
04:39You here for a game?
04:41Not today.
04:42Though I did walk away with some nice pocket change
04:45the last time I was here.
04:47But I came by to talk.
04:50But if you're too busy.
04:52No, your luck is holding.
04:53I happen to be free.
04:55Unless you're here on a mission from your mother.
04:58In which case, it's not just no.
05:00It's hell no.
05:02No, mama nonsense involved.
05:03This is about Isaiah.
05:06He told me your secret.
05:14I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
05:20There's no dodging the fact that the last time
05:23you said those three little words to anybody,
05:26it was to the love of your life.
05:29It's not the end of my life, Shanice.
05:32Right.
05:33Plenty of fun adventure ahead.
05:37Of course,
05:39it would be tough to top what happened
05:41with you and Nicole.
05:43And your love meet in Maui
05:45and that instant love connection.
05:47I don't need to catch lightning in a bottle twice.
05:49I am trying to make this easy for you.
05:53There is a part of you that will always love Nicole,
05:56and I understand that.
06:00Look, yes, what we had was beautiful,
06:03but beautiful things come to an end.
06:06It doesn't make what happens next less real.
06:11I know you are ready to move past the hurt,
06:14and I am willing to meet you where you're at.
06:17But it's normal for the person on the rebound
06:19to not want to be...
06:20Rebound?
06:22We're back to that.
06:51We still on for tonight?
06:52Not as much at the clinic opening.
06:54I'll have another consult,
06:55but I'll be done in time to pick you up at the house
06:57because I brought a change of clothes.
06:59So did I.
07:00So we could just leave from here.
07:02Perfect.
07:03Let me know if that cancellation call comes.
07:05Fingers crossed.
07:10So just what did the black sheep
07:12of the Hawthorne family tell you?
07:15Cut the act, Joey.
07:16I've known for a while now
07:18that there was someone who kept Isaiah
07:19from falling off a cliff.
07:21He finally told me it was you.
07:23I was aware that was his intention.
07:25It's still not information I make public.
07:28If I wanted to snitch, I would have done so already.
07:31I'm not here to cause problems.
07:33It just hit me that Isaiah was the only one
07:35who ever thanked you.
07:37I just tossed him a rope.
07:39Whether or not he climbed up is on him.
07:41It matters more than you know.
07:43Young black men like Isaiah,
07:45the world loves to write them off.
07:48Folks stop believing in them,
07:50so they stop believing in themselves.
07:52But you gave him something.
07:54Faith when nobody else had it,
07:56not even his own fam.
07:58That support changed his whole trajectory.
08:01And not just for Isaiah,
08:03but for every Banneker kid
08:04he's pulling up behind him.
08:06You give me too much credit.
08:09Somebody else might have come along
08:10and made a difference for Isaiah,
08:12but I'm just glad you did when you did.
08:18Deanna.
08:21Please, your father's gambling started
08:24long before Joey came into the picture.
08:27We talked about this.
08:29Dad didn't let mom see how bad things really were.
08:32Not until it was too late to pull him back from the edge.
08:35I loved your father.
08:39I loved your father.
08:40I still love him.
08:41And if I could move heaven and earth to bring him back,
08:45I would.
08:47But you couldn't get him help.
08:49No therapist, rehab, intervention, nothing.
08:53He said he was recovering.
08:56That he could do it on his own.
08:58That he had it handled.
08:59He was an addict!
09:00Mom, of course that's what he said!
09:02You're acting like mom is some kind of expert on this
09:05when she's not!
09:07And neither are you.
09:10Nobody could have stopped dad if he wasn't ready.
09:13But it didn't help that she was sneaking around with that thug.
09:16That is not true.
09:19Nothing, look at me!
09:20Nothing happened between Joey and me,
09:22not before your father died.
09:24And I stand on that.
09:25I don't believe you.
09:31After all this time,
09:32I still lose my mind
09:34thinking about how Hayley played me.
09:36And now she's on the same game
09:37with different players.
09:39Right now, she's gunning for Tomas.
09:41She already put him on notice
09:42that he could lose his job.
09:44What is her problem with him?
09:46Tomas was working a criminal case.
09:48The charges eventually got dropped,
09:50but Hayley got real cozy
09:52with his client.
09:54A man?
09:55A woman.
09:56The same one Hayley was with
09:58when she got mugged.
09:59Oh yeah, I know who you're talking about.
10:01Um, I met her after the attack.
10:03Lynette, right?
10:05Ding, ding, ding.
10:06I met her myself.
10:07She and Hayley are two peas
10:08in a sketchy-ass pod.
10:10Yeah, I talked to her at the hospital
10:12and she seemed fine at first,
10:14but I don't know.
10:16Something fell off.
10:17You got good instincts.
10:19With con artists,
10:20the first impression is usually so polished
10:22they slip right past your radar.
10:24Lawyer instincts.
10:26So, what's their beef with Tomas?
10:29Lynette and Hayley are pushing this narrative
10:31that Tomas was hitting on Lynette.
10:34Well, that's a smart way
10:36to get my dad on their side.
10:37He'd be hypersensitive about that
10:39since the lawsuit I filed against the firm.
10:41Exactly, and Hayley knew it.
10:45What was Lynette originally charged with?
10:47Embezzlement.
10:48And Tomas was sure she was guilty of sin.
10:51Okay, so, let me get this straight.
10:54Hayley's new bestie is a con artist
10:57with embezzlement charges,
10:58and together they're trying to take Tomas down?
11:02Well, that is definitely troubling.
11:07You surprise me.
11:10I get that a lot.
11:12The whole town knows my business thanks to Mama.
11:15So, I'm pretty sure you heard
11:16that I grew up without my real dad.
11:18Word does travel.
11:21You know, I used to sit up some nights
11:23and just feel sorry for myself.
11:26But now, I think maybe it's worse
11:29having a father who's there
11:31and who still treats you like you're not good enough.
11:34Who stays looking at you sideways
11:36the way Elon does with Isaiah.
11:38Yeah, it's tough.
11:39No doubt about it.
11:43When you met Isaiah,
11:44did you know he was different right away?
11:47No, not at first.
11:50My instinct was to recruit him into my business,
11:53but it didn't take long
11:55before I saw that he really deserved better.
11:59He's sharp.
12:00Quick study.
12:03He's always watching.
12:05Always learning.
12:08You sound proud of him.
12:10I can hear it in your voice.
12:11Yeah, I am.
12:13And I'm glad that he's back.
12:15I can keep an eye on him,
12:16make sure he stays on track.
12:19From a distance, of course.
12:22Sounds like you've been a silent partner with him.
12:24Same way you move with the clinic.
12:27Always lurking in the shadows,
12:29making sure things don't fall apart.
12:32Yeah, you're not wrong.
12:35Mom, move.
12:35I can't stand to be trapped here with you another second.
12:38Look, you're taking your grief out on Mom,
12:39and it's not fair.
12:43If you want to sit here
12:44and listen to this foolishness,
12:46then that's on you.
12:47But it makes me sick
12:48to be in the same space
12:49as someone who betrayed Dad like that.
12:51Cross-examining Mom
12:52isn't going to bring him back.
12:54You're just looking for someone to blame
12:56because it hurts too much
12:57to sit with right now.
12:58You sound just like her.
13:01I can't...
13:03Mom, move before I climb over the stable.
13:08Fine.
13:21You warned me.
13:24I guess you were right.
13:27She shouldn't come after you like that.
13:30Dad wouldn't have wanted it,
13:32no matter what happened.
13:34Try to save him, Darnell.
13:37God knows I tried it.
13:38It wasn't enough on that.
13:39And that, she's right,
13:40but not the rest.
13:51Can we talk about this later, Ted?
13:52I have work, and, um...
13:54Weren't you supposed to be meeting Eva?
13:56No, not yet.
13:58Court reservations aren't for a while yet.
14:02And I don't want to let this go.
14:03I want to know,
14:04is this still your issue?
14:06That I'm using you
14:07to get over a broken heart.
14:10I just don't want to fool myself.
14:13I don't want to read more into this
14:15than what it really is.
14:17Because what if I'm just repeating
14:19my history with Leslie?
14:20Is that what you think?
14:23I thought you understood
14:25I'm not the man
14:26I used to be.
14:29And you, of all people,
14:30could see past the mistakes.
14:32Past the mess I made.
14:35I'm sorry, Dad.
14:36I just...
14:36I really can't do this right now.
14:52Well, look who found time
14:55in her busy schedule.
14:56The case got continued
14:59and, lucky you,
15:00I can't resist a good mystery.
15:02Mm-hmm.
15:03Well, I won't keep you in suspense.
15:06Bill has concerns
15:08about this Lynette woman
15:10and asked me to dig.
15:12So dig.
15:13Why should I care?
15:15You mean aside from the fact
15:16that you and she are tighter
15:18than you led Bill to believe?
15:20What is this?
15:21An interrogation?
15:23No, not at all.
15:24I'd never expect you
15:26to confess something to me
15:27that you'd never admit
15:28to your own husband.
15:30And you're mistaken
15:32yet again, Joey.
15:34There's no daylight
15:36between what Bill and I
15:37know about each other.
15:38You know, that might be true
15:39on planet Pluto,
15:40but here on Earth,
15:43this Lynette woman
15:44is claiming
15:45to have witnessed a crime.
15:48A crime that never happened.
15:50I had bruises to prove
15:51that there was...
15:51A crime that doesn't happen
15:52makes her less a witness
15:54and more of an accomplice
15:55to whatever scheme
15:57you and Randy are running.
16:00I don't know any Randys
16:01any more than I know you.
16:04Really?
16:05You have to call him Sammy?
16:07Oh, well, Sammy
16:08is a casual acquaintance
16:10just like Lynette.
16:12Whoever told you
16:13that bedtime story
16:15has a wild imagination.
16:18Call it a hunch.
16:21So, if you're not sharing
16:23and you don't expect me to,
16:25then why am I here?
16:27You know, running a casino
16:29can be so boring.
16:32Most people play it safe.
16:35But you,
16:37you are that rare,
16:39thrilling exception
16:40of someone
16:41who is willing
16:42to go all in.
16:44Haley,
16:46I admire your winning streak.
16:49But like all gamblers know,
16:52eventually,
16:53everyone's luck runs out.
16:57And when mine does,
16:59what?
17:00You're offering me a lifeline?
17:02No.
17:05I'm just curious
17:06how you're going
17:07to play your hand.
17:11So, Leslie
17:12really went ahead
17:13and booked the chapel
17:15for the wedding
17:15you're not having.
17:17Lined up designers,
17:18a band,
17:19probably doves too.
17:21You know,
17:22I had a talk with her.
17:23Hopefully,
17:24it will do some good.
17:25But that woman
17:26has more nerve
17:27than a toothache.
17:28It got me so upset.
17:30I was two seconds away
17:31from flipping a table.
17:33But Isaiah convinced me
17:34to just let her ride,
17:36said that if mama
17:36wanted to blow her money
17:38throwing us a party,
17:39let her.
17:40I mean,
17:40at least she's not
17:41breathing down Derek's neck
17:43or dragging the Dupree's
17:44or stirring the pot
17:46with you and Shanice.
17:49Knock on all the wood.
17:52Speaking of your girlfriend.
17:55I don't know
17:55if Shanice would
17:56want to be called that yet.
17:58We haven't exactly
17:59defined things.
18:02Okay,
18:02labels or not,
18:03I've seen the way
18:04she looks at you.
18:05And it doesn't give casual.
18:07It gives
18:08she's in deep.
18:10Man,
18:10maybe we're misreading
18:11the situation.
18:13Shanice and I
18:13had a talk earlier
18:14and it made me realize
18:17we're not as connected
18:18as I thought.
18:19You know?
18:22Well,
18:22damn.
18:23Somebody's dressed
18:24to impress.
18:25Well,
18:25I have a date
18:26with Nicole tonight.
18:27Though you may not
18:28want to share that part
18:29with your boy,
18:29Dr. Kyle Rollins.
18:31Don't do that
18:32because you are
18:32both my people.
18:34And for the record,
18:35Dr. Dupree's love life
18:36is none of my business.
18:37I wish you had come
18:38to that conclusion
18:39before you started
18:39playing matchmaker.
18:41In my defense,
18:42I didn't think
18:43the thing between
18:43Nicole and Kyle
18:44would go anywhere
18:45past the harmless
18:46flirting stage.
18:47Well, it did.
18:48I mean,
18:49not that I'm
18:49worried or anything.
18:51Oh,
18:52clearly.
19:10I'm not worried.
19:12Hmm.
19:13You keep telling yourself
19:14that until you believe it.
19:15Look,
19:16I'm serious.
19:17Okay?
19:18Things will work out
19:19exactly how they're meant to.
19:21Meaning you trust
19:22Nicole's gonna choose
19:23you over Kyle.
19:25Figures.
19:27Surgeons gotta have
19:28all the confidence
19:28in the world.
19:30See,
19:31nurses like me,
19:32we've seen
19:32too many things
19:33go wrong,
19:34which makes us
19:35hard-end cynics.
19:36Hmm.
19:37What you call cynicism,
19:38I call doubt.
19:41So you're telling me
19:42you have no doubt
19:43where Nicole's concerned?
19:45Not even that
19:46she might pick Kyle?
19:47Damn right I don't.
19:48You see,
19:49I know Nicole
19:50better than he ever will.
19:51She's steady,
19:52honest,
19:53she owns her choices,
19:54even the hard ones,
19:55and that
19:56is why I trust her.
19:57And if you can't
19:58trust the person
19:59you're building with,
20:00well,
20:00then hell,
20:01what are you really
20:02building anyway?
20:04Well,
20:04you put it like that.
20:06There you are.
20:08I'm sorry
20:09for hogging your date.
20:11Wow,
20:11Nicole,
20:12you look
20:12stunning.
20:14Like,
20:14traffic stopping stunning.
20:16I second that.
20:17thank you
20:19both.
20:21Shanice,
20:21a favor?
20:23Can you
20:23take a pic
20:24before I spill
20:25something on this shirt?
20:26Oh,
20:26glad to.
20:31You two look
20:34solid.
20:36Shanice and I
20:38aren't in a place
20:38where we're saying
20:39I love you,
20:40but I originally
20:41thought we were
20:42on that road.
20:44Men.
20:46What?
20:47Y'all things
20:48happen until
20:49your emotions
20:49make sure I look
20:50weak or whatever.
20:51It's not that.
20:52I can handle
20:53my emotions.
20:54The problem is
20:54Shanice has just
20:55decided that
20:57nothing I say
20:58about my feelings
20:59is real.
21:00Like,
21:00everything that
21:00comes out of my
21:01mouth is just
21:02game.
21:04Maybe that's
21:06because...
21:06Because?
21:09Sorry,
21:09it just hit me
21:10that I'm giving
21:11romantic advice
21:12to my dad
21:13and it feels
21:14weird.
21:15Okay,
21:16well,
21:16I need you
21:17to get over that
21:18because I need
21:18all the insight
21:19I can get.
21:21Okay,
21:22remember when
21:22Isaiah and I
21:23got into that
21:24blow-up?
21:25Yeah,
21:25you wanted more
21:26and thought he
21:27didn't.
21:27More like
21:28I was scared
21:29he wanted me
21:29for the wrong
21:30reasons.
21:31I mean,
21:31homeboy just
21:32got his heart
21:33stumped.
21:34Bad.
21:35And so I
21:35panicked,
21:36thinking that
21:37I was just
21:37a way for him
21:38to get his
21:38groove back.
21:39So slowing
21:40things down
21:41with him
21:41wasn't because
21:41you weren't
21:42into him?
21:44More like
21:45I was just
21:46trying to
21:46protect my
21:47heart.
21:49What did
21:49he do to
21:50convince you
21:50to open it?
21:52It wasn't
21:52one big
21:53grand gesture,
21:55but hella
21:55little ones.
21:56Like the way
21:57he checked
21:57on me without
21:58being all
21:58in my business,
22:00how he never
22:01pressured me
22:01to move faster
22:02than what I
22:02was ready for.
22:04Isaiah didn't
22:05take it personal
22:05that trust
22:06was hard for me.
22:08He understood
22:09that I'd been
22:10hurt and he
22:11made space
22:12for me to
22:12heal while
22:13showing me
22:14through his
22:14actions what
22:15his feelings
22:16were.
22:17I'm so rusty
22:18I've forgotten
22:19how to pursue
22:20a woman who
22:21doesn't already
22:22trust me.
22:25You know,
22:25I know we had
22:26this tennis court
22:27reserve,
22:28but would you
22:28mind?
22:29Go handle
22:30your business,
22:31dad.
22:31And tell
22:32Shanice I said
22:33hey.
22:34All right.
22:34Here you go.
22:36All right.
22:52Well, look at
22:53you.
22:54Single-handedly
22:56raising the
22:56property value
22:57of this place.
22:58Flattery when
22:59you barely ride.
23:00Careful.
23:01You'll run
23:02out of material.
23:03Not possible.
23:05Though it
23:06looks like I'm
23:06not the only
23:07one who needs
23:08to pace
23:08themselves.
23:09This one's
23:10yours.
23:12Relax.
23:13I already
23:14broke bread
23:14with Nicole
23:15at the clinic
23:15opening.
23:16Smoothed out
23:17all the
23:17awkward.
23:18We'll be
23:18fine.
23:19It's not
23:20Nicole.
23:21It's Deanna.
23:22I thought if
23:22Donnell forced
23:23her to sit
23:24down with me
23:24maybe I
23:25could reach
23:25her.
23:26Didn't take
23:27it well.
23:28She went
23:29off.
23:30Accused me
23:31of being with
23:31you before
23:32Doug died.
23:32said I flaunted
23:33it in his
23:34face.
23:35I swore
23:36she was
23:37wrong but
23:38she saw
23:38right through
23:38me and
23:41Donnell?
23:43I doubt
23:44he believed
23:44me either.
23:46You're
23:47Vanessa's
23:47son right?
23:49Donnell.
23:50Eva?
23:51Right.
23:52She was
23:53your sister.
23:54Last time
23:55I saw her
23:55she wasn't
23:55in the best
23:56headspace.
23:57Not much
23:58has changed.
23:59I'm really
24:00sorry that
24:00happened to
24:01your family.
24:01From what
24:02I heard
24:03it seemed
24:03like Deanna
24:04was really
24:04close to
24:05your dad.
24:05We both
24:06were.
24:07I miss
24:08him.
24:09Especially
24:10while watching
24:11my mom and
24:11sis go at
24:12it.
24:12I'm the
24:13man of
24:13the house
24:14now but
24:14I have
24:15no clue
24:16what to
24:16do with
24:16them.
24:17If I'm
24:17overstepping
24:18tell me
24:19but my
24:20boyfriend
24:20works at
24:21Paniker.
24:21He's an
24:22advisor and
24:23he's really
24:24easy to
24:24talk to.
24:26Thanks.
24:27Maybe I'll
24:27hit him
24:27up.
24:28I'll
24:28airdrop
24:28his info.
24:29His name's
24:30Isaiah.
24:31There you
24:32are
24:33Donnell.
24:34Cavorting with
24:35the enemy
24:35are we?
24:36I'm not
24:37really up for
24:37the tit for
24:38cat today.
24:38I was just
24:39being friendly.
24:40You guys
24:41got beef?
24:42Too complicated
24:43to get into.
24:45You know what?
24:46I'll see you
24:46around Donnell.
24:48Oh Eva.
24:49Tell your
24:50fiance I
24:51said hey.
24:52Oh you're
24:52engaged?
24:53No.
24:54Oh that's
24:56wild.
24:56I thought
24:57I heard
24:57different.
24:58Must have
24:59been filter
25:00queen Eva
25:01still editing
25:02the truth.
25:15Naomi?
25:17Everything
25:18okay?
25:18Of course.
25:20I'm just
25:20startled.
25:22That mugging
25:22rattled me more
25:23than I
25:23realized.
25:25Yeah.
25:25I'm sure it
25:26must be
25:26unnerving for
25:27you.
25:28But I'm
25:28actually glad
25:29we ran into
25:30each other.
25:30There's
25:30something I've
25:31been wondering.
25:34Why are you
25:35going after
25:35Tomas?
25:37I'm just
25:38following your
25:39lead.
25:39Taking a
25:40strong stand
25:41against harassment
25:42in the workplace.
25:43When I filed
25:44my lawsuit I
25:45talked to
25:45multiple women
25:46at the firm
25:46and not one
25:47had anything
25:48negative to say
25:49about Tomas.
25:49They described
25:50him as
25:50respectful and
25:52considerate.
25:53The complete
25:53opposite picture
25:54you're trying
25:55to paint.
25:56And because
25:57he wasn't
25:57guilty of
25:58anything then
25:59he's what
25:59forever blameless?
26:01Come on you
26:02know that's
26:02not how
26:02predators work.
26:04When someone
26:05works hard to
26:06build a stellar
26:07reputation that
26:08should count for
26:09something.
26:09I know
26:10what I
26:11heard.
26:11Tomas hit
26:13on Lynette
26:14plain and
26:15simple and
26:15I went
26:16straight to
26:16my husband
26:17to protect
26:18her,
26:19Bill and
26:19the firm.
26:21You know
26:22there would
26:23have been a
26:23time when I
26:24found you
26:24really convincing
26:25but now
26:27I know
26:28better.
26:30Janice.
26:31Hi.
26:32You got a
26:33second?
26:34Sure.
26:35Um
26:36I'm gonna
26:46what's
26:46on your
26:46mind?
26:48Yeah.
26:53Well I
26:53was thinking
26:54about something
26:54you said and
26:55I probably
26:57overreacted and
26:57this is new
26:59for both of
26:59us and all
27:01you've gotten
27:01from me so
27:02far is talk
27:03and talk
27:04doesn't earn
27:05trust.
27:06Ted I
27:07didn't mean
27:07to accuse
27:08you of
27:08playing me.
27:10I know
27:10what kind
27:11of man
27:11you are.
27:13I've just
27:14been hurt
27:15before by
27:16men who
27:19let's just
27:19say I tend
27:20to second
27:20guess every
27:21sweet word.
27:23I would
27:24never mislead
27:24you like
27:25that but
27:27you can't
27:28possibly know
27:28that unless
27:29I put in
27:29the work
27:30to show
27:30you.
27:30No you
27:31don't have
27:31anything to
27:31prove to
27:32me.
27:32No no see
27:33that's why
27:33you're wrong
27:34and I
27:35don't mind
27:35and it
27:36might even
27:37be fun
27:40but there's
27:40one thing I
27:41need you to
27:41hear me out
27:42on.
27:44I'm
27:44listening.
27:48Me
27:48moving slow
27:49and not
27:50jumping at
27:51big commitments
27:52is not because
27:53I'm doubting
27:54what we
27:55have.
27:57It's
27:57me
28:00trying not
28:01to screw
28:02it up.
28:05Thanks for
28:06pulling up
28:07when I
28:07texted.
28:08I know
28:09it was
28:09last minute.
28:10What's
28:10wrong?
28:11You look
28:12almost as
28:13bad as
28:13when your
28:13first high
28:14school
28:14girlfriend
28:14dumped
28:15you.
28:15Her loss
28:16by the
28:17way.
28:17You were
28:18great to
28:18talk to
28:19back then
28:20and I'm
28:21hoping I
28:21can talk
28:21to you
28:22now
28:23especially
28:23since I
28:23think you'd
28:24actually get
28:24it.
28:25this is
28:26about your
28:26mother and
28:27her romantic
28:29adventures.
28:32Things got
28:33heated today.
28:35Deanna
28:35accused my
28:36mom of
28:37messing around
28:38with Joey
28:39when my dad
28:39was still
28:39alive.
28:42She's
28:43straight for
28:44the jugular.
28:45What was
28:46her rebuttal?
28:48Got all
28:49emotional
28:50talking about
28:51how she
28:52would never
28:52disrespect my
28:53dad like
28:53that?
28:54About how
28:55she loved
28:56him until
28:56the day
28:56he died?
28:59And do
29:00you believe
29:00her?
29:02I want
29:02to.
29:05You remember
29:06Carlton from
29:06New Year's
29:07Eve?
29:07How can I
29:08forget?
29:09Ted's medical
29:10partner,
29:10Joey.
29:11Vanessa.
29:13Sorry if we
29:14kept you
29:14waiting.
29:14Not at all.
29:15We know you
29:16both came
29:16straight from
29:17work.
29:17Busy day?
29:19Very.
29:19I spent most
29:21of the morning
29:22in surgery.
29:23Everyone
29:24survive?
29:29Surgery is a
29:30sensitive subject.
29:32Yes, I am
29:33aware of what
29:34happened to
29:34your mother,
29:35Joey.
29:35It's a story
29:37that gets
29:37passed around
29:38in medical
29:38circles.
29:39Well, I hope
29:40it makes for
29:41good cocktail
29:41chatter.
29:42Quite the
29:43opposite.
29:44I just want
29:45you to know
29:46how sorry I
29:46am for your
29:47loss.
29:48Heartbreaking.
29:49I can't
29:49imagine the
29:50pain you
29:50felt.
29:52She entered
29:53her life
29:53as a
29:53cautionary
29:54tale.
29:55Collateral
29:56damage to
29:56a predatory
29:57industry that
29:58thrives on
29:59obsession.
30:01And the
30:02parasites who
30:02profit from it.
30:06Present company
30:07excluded, of
30:07course.
30:16did I mess this
30:17up?
30:18Not even close.
30:22I realize I
30:23can't put this
30:23all on you.
30:25I have to earn
30:26your trust too,
30:27and that means
30:27not spinning out
30:28every time you
30:28don't say what
30:30I want to hear.
30:30you know one of
30:33my favorite
30:33things about
30:34us?
30:36Other than
30:37these curves
30:38and my
30:38infectious smile?
30:40Other than
30:41those.
30:42It's that this
30:43came out of
30:44nowhere.
30:45Right?
30:46It's like one
30:47day I am doing
30:48my job, and
30:49then the next
30:50I am catching
30:51feelings for a
30:53doctor who
30:54tells terrible
30:55jokes and
30:57gets way too
30:58excited about
30:59birdwatching.
31:01Hey,
31:02ornithology is
31:03a very
31:04respectable
31:05hobby.
31:06See?
31:08Terrible
31:09jokes, which
31:10is probably
31:12why it feels
31:13too good to
31:13be true.
31:14So let's not
31:15screw it up.
31:17Let's just
31:17let this thing
31:18go wild and
31:20see where it
31:21takes us.
31:23No pressure,
31:25no expectations.
31:27Except when
31:28we're being
31:28honest, and
31:28honestly, I
31:31can't begin to
31:31tell you where
31:32this ride is
31:33going to end
31:33up, but I
31:36am more than
31:36excited to
31:37find out.
31:45Naomi, please.
31:47Look, I don't
31:47even know why
31:48you're defending
31:49him.
31:49What Tomas did
31:50was out of
31:51pocket, and
31:51you know it.
31:52Even if he
31:53was, which I'm
31:55not really
31:55buying, people
31:57make mistakes.
31:58They say the
31:58wrong things.
31:59They misread a
31:59situation.
32:00That's not the
32:01victim's fault.
32:02That also doesn't
32:02make him a
32:03predator.
32:04I'm suggesting
32:05you let this go,
32:07Haley.
32:08And why should I?
32:11Do you remember
32:12how you lied to my
32:14dad about that
32:14sonogram?
32:15Okay, I wouldn't
32:16exactly phrase it
32:17like that.
32:18You claimed you
32:19went and got
32:20checked out, but
32:21we both know that
32:22didn't happen.
32:23I could have
32:24blown your
32:24whole cover, but
32:25I didn't say a
32:26word.
32:28Digging up
32:29ancient history,
32:30wow.
32:31That's a reach,
32:33even for you.
32:34No, not a
32:35reach, just a
32:37reminder that it
32:39would show good
32:39judgment on your
32:40part to leave
32:41Tomas alone.
32:43Mom came right
32:44out and said she
32:46wasn't happy with
32:46that.
32:48So it's not
32:49hard to picture
32:50her turning to
32:51someone else.
32:53Deanna's convinced
32:54that's why dad
32:55started drinking so
32:56much, basically
32:57blaming mom for
32:59his death.
33:01That really
33:03sucks.
33:04Thumbs it up.
33:06I know from
33:07personal experience
33:08that having your
33:10family's history
33:11rewritten is
33:12dramatic as hell.
33:13The thing is,
33:14though, mom's been
33:16a complete wreck
33:16ever since dad
33:17passed.
33:18Of course.
33:19She loved
33:20your dad.
33:22The love might
33:23not have been
33:24perfect, but it
33:26didn't make it any
33:26less real.
33:27I just wish it
33:28made sense.
33:30How can you
33:31grieve someone
33:32you betrayed?
33:33How can you
33:34miss someone you
33:35weren't happy with?
33:36Love is messy
33:37and contradictory
33:39and full of all
33:41kinds of emotions
33:41that don't add up.
33:43I'm just torn.
33:45If I lash out
33:47at mom the way
33:48Deanna's been
33:48doing, it'll just
33:49push her further
33:50into Joey.
33:52But then I think
33:53about my dad
33:55and about how
33:56broken he was.
34:01I think he knew.
34:04Let me say this
34:06and then I'll
34:06shut up.
34:07Nothing burns
34:08me more than
34:09illegitimate,
34:10unqualified
34:10hacks parading
34:12around as
34:12plastic surgeons.
34:13I have testified
34:14against plenty
34:15of those butchers.
34:16All due respect,
34:17Doc,
34:17that legit
34:18plastic surgeon
34:19feels like an
34:20oxymoron,
34:21kind of like
34:22jumbo shrimp
34:23or passive-aggressive.
34:25Can we talk
34:25about the weather
34:26or the wizards?
34:27I mean,
34:27nobody but nobody
34:28needs liposuction
34:30or tummy tucks
34:32or any of the
34:33other procedures
34:34that your type
34:34is peddling.
34:35You're conveniently
34:36forgetting.
34:36Don't insult
34:37my intelligence
34:38by mentioning
34:38cleft palates
34:39or burn victims.
34:41That's the
34:41charity case
34:43fraction of your
34:44business.
34:45It's the feel-good
34:45stories that you
34:46trot out when you
34:47get uncomfortable
34:48questions about
34:48your Porsche
34:49payments.
34:50Now, the real
34:51fortune is made
34:53by profiting off
34:54people's addiction
34:55by feeding their
34:56insecurities until
34:57they're eligible
34:58for frequent
34:59filler miles.
35:01You are casting
35:02aspersions against
35:03the wrong practice.
35:05Ted and Carlton
35:05carefully screen
35:06all of their
35:07patients for
35:08body dysmorphic
35:08disorder,
35:09unrealistic
35:10expectations,
35:11and for
35:11psychological
35:12readiness.
35:12Nicole wrote
35:13the protocol herself.
35:14That I did.
35:15And they turn
35:16away more
35:17patience than
35:18acceptance.
35:18We care more
35:19about people
35:20than profit margins.
35:21But please,
35:21Joey, tell us
35:22more about your
35:23sudden aversion
35:24to profiting
35:25off of
35:26addictions?
35:27When should we
35:28expect you to
35:28hand over your
35:29gaming license?
35:30Nicole, that's
35:31hardly fair.
35:32No, no, that is
35:33fair.
35:33She's right.
35:34I mean, I never
35:35took a vow to
35:36do no harm.
35:37Right, right.
35:38Because that oath
35:39would require, um,
35:40I'm sorry, what was
35:41the word?
35:41Conscience.
35:42Yes.
35:43Though I imagine
35:43that is unfamiliar
35:45territory for you
35:46since your business
35:47has never been about
35:47helping anyone
35:48except yourself.
35:49Oh, how I wish
35:51I could be one
35:52of you self-righteous
35:53do-gooders.
35:55Doctors who
35:56profit off misery.
35:58Preachers who
35:59chase skirts
35:59between sermons.
36:01Politicians
36:01on all those
36:02dead bodies.
36:04Sometimes literally.
36:06Okay, can I get
36:08anyone a drink?
36:08Oh, yeah.
36:09Take another round
36:10over here to double.
36:14To these daughters
36:16and
36:47we'll be right back.
