Short filmTranscript
00:24I'll see you next time.
00:30Sliding into your best friend's ex-wife's bed before the ink is dry on the divorce.
00:35How dare you?
00:36Don't spare me the outrage, Nicole.
00:38We all have our skeletons.
00:39I just don't dress them up in my Sunday best and parade them around like saints.
00:45Your father built an empire by greasing palms and making deals.
00:51And you sit there and look down on me?
00:55You're just another Dupree, baptized in the same self-righteous water.
01:01Are you finished?
01:02Yes, he is.
01:03Good.
01:03Because I appreciate the candor.
01:06You do?
01:07Of course.
01:08It's always so much easier when people show you who they are up front.
01:13Vanessa, I love you, but I won't do this.
01:23Tab's on you.
01:32Oh, look who finally decided to show his face.
01:36Hey there.
01:38How was Baltimore?
01:40I hope the client appreciated you making the drive.
01:45I didn't go.
01:47No, really?
01:49Chelsea already clocked you here in town.
01:52Truth is, Baltimore was a cover.
01:55I had a job interview.
01:57Oh.
01:59Wow.
02:01I mean, I knew things between you and Bill were tense, but I didn't realize we'd escalated to update the
02:08LinkedIn profile.
02:09Well, keeping my options open is smart business.
02:13Yeah.
02:14But lying to your girlfriend isn't.
02:16You care to explain?
02:18Bye.
02:21Bye.
02:29Bye.
02:39Bye.
02:39Bye.
02:49Danny.
02:51Your voicemail was peak Hamilton.
02:53Oh, stately and commanding.
02:55Cryptic and full of yourself.
02:56And I quote, we need to talk about the future.
02:59So I figured if you'd finally come to your senses
03:02and decided to dump that leech you married,
03:04I wanted to hear it in person.
03:06Yeah, so you can be my shoulder to cry on?
03:08Forget that. I'm ready to laugh and point.
03:11I must deflate that fantasy.
03:13No, Haley and I are still going strong.
03:16In fact, I find myself even more protective of her.
03:18Hmm, darn.
03:20Considering you're the one who needs protection from that succubus,
03:23she would swindle the cufflinks off your wrists
03:25and convince you it was just for polish.
03:27Look, I'm trying to take care of the women in my life, Danny.
03:33That's why I called.
03:35And what's that?
03:36My will.
03:40He's worked for a party of four.
03:42Must have just left.
03:45Wait, wait, wait. Not so fast.
03:48These already pay for?
03:50On that side.
03:51Oh, set them down.
03:53Go ahead.
03:55Oh, I love a complimentary happy hour.
04:01Based on that 9-1-1 text, I was expecting tears,
04:04not table service.
04:08You, uh, you all right?
04:10Just drinking my pain away.
04:13Doctor's orders.
04:14Who's the doctor? Macy?
04:16Your boss.
04:18He summoned me to his casino and advised that the walls were closing in on me.
04:22Say what?
04:23Bill asked Joey to dig into Lynette.
04:28Okay, we can handle that.
04:29Then Joey looked me dead in my face and said he know the mug never happened.
04:32That you, me and her have been working together.
04:36Knows or thinks he knows?
04:38Friend, he called it.
04:39Okay?
04:40And if Joey has already figured us out, Bill won't be too far behind.
04:45Okay, chill out.
04:46Panikin will not find us a way out of this.
04:48No, but a lethal dose of poison will.
04:52We need to kill Bill already, cash in his life insurance, and get the hell out before he can ruin
04:57us.
05:04This is what I dragged myself here for?
05:07This is important, Dani. What's the problem?
05:10After the scare we had with Mother, I don't want to think about anyone dying.
05:13Not you, not today, not ever.
05:17This concerns the girls.
05:21Wills are not about death.
05:23They're about protecting the living.
05:26That's why I'm making some additions to their inheritances.
05:30And does this have anything to do with you waking up and realizing a baby with Haley is a bad
05:35investment?
05:36This is about legacy, Dani.
05:38Yours?
05:39Yours, ours, mine.
05:40What does it matter?
05:44I want what I've built to mean something beyond accolades and dollar signs on a ledger.
05:51So I'm bequeathing Naomi my equity stake on the firm.
05:54You can do that?
05:56Provided the beneficiary is an attorney.
05:59But Naomi's been adamant that she doesn't want to practice law the way you do.
06:03Yeah, I know.
06:03And I'll honor her bleeding heart.
06:05God knows the world needs more idealists.
06:08She's wasting her talent.
06:10And I'm hoping that this, you know, forces her hands so she can see what she could accomplish if she
06:15just played in the major leagues where she belongs.
06:18If Neil is already running his mouth to other people, then the last thing we need is to prove him
06:25right by catching a case.
06:26That man drops the air from mysterious anything.
06:29You are suspect number one.
06:32So wait, I'm supposed to just sit pretty and smile while they sharpen knives behind my back?
06:37Naomi already came at me trying to blackmail me with that whole fake sonogram mess.
06:43And what'd you do?
06:44I got her off my back like I always do, but her fangs are starting to show.
06:50And I'm just ready to be done with this.
06:52I feel you, but we have to start thinking smart, not emotional.
06:57But if we can't take Bill off the board, then what?
07:00I'm not waiting around for him and Joey to connect the dots, Randy.
07:03Then we don't wait.
07:04We work.
07:05I'll undermine Bill's claim and make sure Joey understands Lynette operated alone.
07:11I don't know, man.
07:13Subtle these will never be your strong suit.
07:16Don't try to play me.
07:17I know how to handle my boss.
07:20Oh, how I wish you'd been the one at dinner tonight.
07:24Come again?
07:25You certainly couldn't have been worse company.
07:28Well, I hope it improves from here.
07:37Go ahead.
07:39Say I told you so.
07:41Oh, I've had better nights.
07:43But hey, the martinis were perfect.
07:46You really want to reduce this to a cocktail review after what just happened?
07:51What do you want me to say, Vanessa?
07:53I don't want you to give a damn.
07:56You are treating this relationship just like everybody else, like it is some temporary insanity.
08:03Like I will wake up one day and realize it was a mistake.
08:05Well, I am sick and tired of everyone in my life trying to shame me out of the one thing
08:12that makes me feel alive.
08:14I have to apologize for dragging you to that circus.
08:19Please.
08:20Being called a lowlife by a reputed criminal?
08:23Well, that's one for the memoir.
08:24I braced for awkward.
08:26But I didn't think that Joey was going to go full-blown nuclear on us before the appetizers even hit
08:34the table.
08:34That man declared war the second we sat down.
08:38Now, you saved us both by ending it.
08:40Another five minutes, you'd have found out how skilled a surgeon's hands can be.
08:45And Vanessa, God, she just sat there.
08:48Not a word in defense for us.
08:51Just there with Joey by her side like a trophy.
08:55Like he's the prize that she has been waiting for her whole life.
08:58Sometimes you're friends with people that you hate.
09:01Sometimes they're with people that you love.
09:03There's nothing much you can do about that.
09:06How can he be just so blase about this?
09:10Joey is not just rude.
09:12He is dangerous.
09:13I realize this, especially after I caught something tonight that rattled me way more than his dicks.
09:20The way that he looked at you when he said something about buried bodies.
09:35Joey wasn't just picking a fight with you, he was attempting to bait me.
09:39I have heard jokes about political families knowing where the bodies are buried my whole life.
09:43He was definitely on the defensive tonight.
09:46Like a cornered animal lashing out at anything to move.
09:49That is what terrifies me.
09:51Vanessa is walking into something dark and twisted and she has no idea.
09:55She thinks she's in love.
09:57Meanwhile, she is knee deep in quicksand.
10:00I have half a mind to just stage an upscale intervention.
10:04Uh, Nicole, do not.
10:07She is a grown woman capable of her own self-destructive decisions.
10:11You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.
10:14I have told myself that for months.
10:17That if she is happy, I should just respect it.
10:21But after tonight?
10:23After sitting across from that man feeling the chill in my bones?
10:28I can't pretend anymore.
10:31Vanessa is speeding towards a cliff and if I just let her drive over it, what kind of a friend
10:37does that make me?
10:39I'm sorry.
10:42I'm sorry for being insensitive and for your friends walking out.
10:47Tonight mattered to you.
10:48And that's the only reason I agreed to do it.
10:52It might have gone better if for once your opinions stayed holstered.
10:56Carlton didn't ask for your op-ed on cosmetic surgery.
11:00And Nicole certainly didn't need your dissertation on the Dupree's.
11:06I'm not built for biting my tongue.
11:09Vanessa, I don't do performance dinners.
11:12And I'm not looking for anyone's approval.
11:15Well, I am.
11:17You may like prowling through life like a lone wolf, but my friendships matter.
11:24More than that, I won't let what we have torch my relationship with my children.
11:29It's only natural that they need more time.
11:32For them to see you with somebody other than their father was never going to go great.
11:36Yeah, we both know it's bigger than that.
11:39They don't just see you as not Doug.
11:43They see your reputation.
11:45It's all they see, all anybody sees.
11:48You know.
11:50I really believed that if Nicole sat across from you, she'd see what I see.
11:55Maybe even understand.
11:56But if the so-called grown-ups can't get through one dinner without detonating,
12:04how can I expect my children to?
12:08You hand Naomi the key and she will burn down your castle by turning it into a legal aid clinic.
12:13You know that, right?
12:14Then so be it.
12:15At least the Hamilton name will still hang over the door.
12:18She is a Hamilton Hawthorne.
12:20In name, but in soul and spirit.
12:24She's a Dupree.
12:25Mm-hmm.
12:26I didn't know birthright meant this much to you.
12:28Well, it didn't.
12:30Not until recently.
12:31You know, over the years I've asked myself, you know,
12:34who has the killer instinct and the intellect and the audacity to step inside this office and make it their
12:39own?
12:39Whatever happened to Pauline?
12:41You used to hype her up like she was the second coming.
12:44Yeah.
12:44I mean, she's a brilliant attorney.
12:46You know, and Hungry and Tomas, he's promising too.
12:49That's why I've invested so much time and energy in shaping his career.
12:53But now I'm starting to have serious concerns about his judgment.
12:56Which forces me to realize something that I should have known from the start.
12:59That blowing up your life for a bimbo in a bikini wasn't the smartest strategic move?
13:05That strangers don't carry legacy.
13:08Only family does.
13:11I didn't tell you about the interview because I didn't want you forced to keep a secret from your uncle.
13:16Former uncle.
13:18Still, it's my mess to manage, not yours.
13:21That's where you're wrong.
13:23While you were busy chasing New Horizons, I was reading Bill for absolute filth.
13:29About what?
13:30The lousy way he's been treating you, obviously.
13:33I told him straight up you did not harass that sketchy Lynette woman and he's an idiot for believing Haley's
13:39lies.
13:39And since I had the floor, I also told him how tacky he was leaving Aunt Danny for that gold
13:46digger in stilettos.
13:48Yes, it's old news, but now that she's coming for you, I wasn't gonna let that slide.
13:53Kat, mi amor.
13:54I appreciate you standing up for me.
13:58But what you actually did was make it worse.
14:06I don't understand why you're mad.
14:11Seriously, Kat?
14:12I defended you.
14:13That's what people do when they love someone.
14:16Especially to cretins like Bill, Mr. Lies and Alibis Hamilton.
14:21No, that's what people do when they don't trust the other person to stand on their own.
14:26You think I need you to swing at Bill for me?
14:28I was setting him straight.
14:30Big difference.
14:31To you, maybe.
14:32But to others, it makes me look like I can't handle my own fights.
14:36Like I need my girlfriend to step in and rescue me from my big bad boss.
14:42That wasn't my intention.
14:45I know.
14:47Look, let's just focus on the bright side.
14:51My interview went way better than I expected.
14:55Well, that's a praise report.
14:57It's a smaller firm, not as prestigious,
15:00but they're offering me a full partnership.
15:03Wow.
15:04Okay, next steps.
15:06HR drafting the offer letter.
15:08I don't want to jinx it, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
15:12Baby, that's amazing.
15:15No Bill, no Haley, no toxic workplace drama.
15:19This sounds perfect.
15:21The only catch is I'll be strapped for cash for a little while,
15:25so no vacations or extravagant gifts in the near future.
15:30But if you're a full partner, shouldn't you be making more?
15:34I will, in the long run.
15:36But full partners have to buy in.
15:38It's a huge chunk of cash up front in exchange for a percentage of the firm's profits.
15:43And since I've been sending money back home, savings are tight.
15:48I'll have to take a loan out to make it work.
15:50Hmm.
15:52Or you can let the private bank of Kat Richardson handle it.
15:58Did you not listen to a thing I just said?
16:02You know, I figured we'd squeeze in a few more girls' nights before you run off chasing your next mark.
16:09Oh, you trying to get rid of me now?
16:11No, I'm just calling it how I see it.
16:15Randy's sweet, sure, but he's not Bill for your Cartier taste.
16:20Sooner or later, you'll be back out there hunting your next will.
16:25Well, it's gonna be really hard to top Bill.
16:29Yeah, I mean, you have better odds winning the lottery than ever finding another man as brilliant, loving, and fun
16:39as my husband.
16:41But maybe even a rich, big Texas oil man.
16:48Texas?
16:49Girl, no.
16:50The DMV is swarming with sharks.
16:52You just happen to know where to swim.
16:58You know, I wish I had some clever magic trick to win your children over, but I don't.
17:04I can't control how people see me.
17:06And I stopped trying a long time ago.
17:09Well, there are things you could do.
17:13Smile more, perhaps?
17:15Talk less?
17:16I think you've seen Hamilton one too many times.
17:20Make yourself more approachable is what I'm getting at.
17:24Play up at the clinic donation.
17:27Or how you took a chance on Isaiah when no one else would.
17:31Show them there's more to you than the rumors.
17:35Vanessa.
17:37I would do damn near anything for you, but I will not put on a show just to make people
17:42comfortable.
17:43People can love me, or they can hate me.
17:47But I have to do what feels right in the moment.
17:54And this feels right.
17:59Confidence is what pulled me in.
18:01I love how you move through the world like it's yours.
18:06I just wish Deanna could see the other parts of you that I do.
18:12The man who listens to me ramble about my day.
18:16Who remembers how I like my coffee.
18:20Who holds me when I can't sleep.
18:25Listen.
18:27If you need us to be less public or even take a step back, I get it.
18:32Joey, no.
18:32Then we have to face facts.
18:34Some people will only see me as the villain.
18:38And there's nothing we can do about it.
18:41Vanessa has always flirted with the wild side.
18:44But now she is diving in head first.
18:47She is raw and vulnerable.
18:50And Joey, Joey is just swooping in like a vulture.
18:54Because of him, she has already lost her daughter.
18:58And I am terrified as to how much more she will lose if this goes on.
19:02You know better than most that nobody changes until they admit they have a problem.
19:07You cannot force recognition on someone who isn't ready.
19:09I have spent my career persuading persistent patients to confront things that they would like to bury.
19:17This isn't your office.
19:20And Vanessa isn't your patient.
19:22Is that your professional opinion?
19:24I am not criticizing your capabilities.
19:27You know that I think the world of you, Nicole.
19:30I just...
19:31I wonder if you're getting so worked up about Vanessa because...
19:39Maybe you're...
19:40Doing a little projecting?
19:42Pro...
19:44Explain?
19:46Think about the year that you've had.
19:48Okay?
19:50You found out that Ted's been lying to you for decades.
19:53He's got a whole grown ass daughter out there.
19:56You just went through a divorce and now your mother is battling cancer.
19:59That...
20:00That's a whole lot of trauma packed into a really short space of time.
20:06And what does any of that have to do with Vanessa and Joey?
20:12Because like Vanessa, you've been through the ringer.
20:18Then like Vanessa, you started to act a little out of character.
20:29You know what?
20:30I actually like the idea of Naomi inheriting the firm.
20:33Yeah, yeah.
20:34See, now you're starting to see it my way.
20:35I mean, she's got the chops, right?
20:37And it fits.
20:38I suppose I could bequeath Chelsea my share of the agency.
20:42Although I'd never force it on her.
20:44She's really carving her own way.
20:46She's making something completely hers, huh?
20:48Actually, our baby girl is already covered.
20:52I earmarked the size of a fund for Chelsea.
20:54Strictly for her entrepreneurial endeavors.
20:56No fine print, no strings.
20:58Just capital she can use to grow.
21:00That's a vote of confidence, if there ever was one.
21:03Well, they've earned it.
21:05Our girls came away with the best of us.
21:08Brains, instinct, grit.
21:10And just enough recklessness to keep life interesting.
21:13And with that mix, of course, they're destined to rule the world.
21:16Well, it's nice to hear you admit that I had a little something to do with the raising of our
21:20phenomenal daughters.
21:22Well, more than just a little.
21:25Come on, you carry the load.
21:27And that's why I put you back in my will, too.
21:32Sure, DC's cute and all.
21:34It has that whole power and posturing thing going for it.
21:37Yeah?
21:38And that's where decisions get made.
21:39By people who ain't us.
21:41So I should just dip?
21:44Fresh city, fresh ID, fresh everything.
21:49You know, I could see you as a Monique.
21:53Maybe a Tyra.
21:55Girl, you could be whoever the hell you want to be.
21:58So what's wrong with Lynette?
22:00Just a straight shooter who cuts through the crap.
22:02And I think it's time you did the same.
22:04I've been nothing but straight with you.
22:05Girl, please.
22:07You and I have been in the trenches too many times for me to believe that.
22:13And you saying that you're giving up the hustle?
22:16I see you.
22:17You running your biggest con yet.
22:22As much as I want my kids and everybody else to accept us, I won't let their disapproval run my
22:31life.
22:33Donnell and Deanna are grown.
22:36They can disagree all they want.
22:38That's their right.
22:39But they don't get to make decisions for me.
22:43Glad to see my influence is finally rubbing off.
22:47I refuse to hide us.
22:50That would mean I'm embarrassed to be with you and nothing could be further from the truth.
22:57Then you better brace yourself.
23:00Sticking by me means taking on my reputation.
23:04And the people in this town have long memories.
23:08And even longer tongues.
23:12Then I'll grow a thicker skin.
23:16You were there when Doug died.
23:19When I was drowning in casseroles and sympathy cards.
23:24You...
23:26You made me feel alive again.
23:29Reminded me I was still alive and...
23:34I...
23:35I...
23:36You make me feel beautiful.
23:39Desired.
23:40Loved.
23:40If...
23:41If Deanna ever finds a man who gives her that...
23:46Maybe then she'll understand why I can't let you go.
23:57I'm busy.
23:59Hey, Deanna.
24:00Well boss, I just wanted to run something by you.
24:02Unless you need me to...
24:04Circle back later.
24:06Forget it.
24:07Moments ruined.
24:09I'll let you two talk.
24:11Evening Randy.
24:12Vanessa.
24:21This better be important.
24:23So what exactly are you saying?
24:25I'm an imposter now?
24:27What?
24:28No, no.
24:30Never.
24:31Nicole, I have never met anyone more real or vital than you.
24:41Then clarify.
24:46Ever since the divorce.
24:49It seems like...
24:51You've been working overtime.
24:54To reinvent yourself.
24:56The hair.
24:57The clothes.
24:58The whole vibe.
25:00So what I'm hearing is that you don't like the woman I'm becoming.
25:04That is not what I'm saying.
25:06That you liked me better when I was boring and predictable.
25:10When I fit neatly into the little box you created for me.
25:13Nicole, I think that you are amazing.
25:16I always have.
25:17All I'm saying is I didn't see anything wrong with the woman that you were before.
25:21Well, thank you for your unsolicited character assessment.
25:26But I think I am ready to call it a night.
25:29Nicole.
25:29Nicole.
25:30This has been a very long and trying evening.
25:34Let's not prolong it.
25:40When you replay the clumsy and well-intended words that I said tonight, and no doubt get angrier, please circle
25:54back to this moment.
25:58I love spending time with every iteration of you.
26:18Good night.
26:26I can't believe this.
26:28You giving me so much as a dime after you swore I was bleeding you dry through the divorce.
26:33I'm not talking about money.
26:35Okay?
26:36You already took me to the cleaners.
26:39What you wanted and what you earned is my respect.
26:42You know?
26:43My acknowledgement of what you sacrificed for me.
26:46Well, as lovely as this sounds, I can't do diddly squat with acknowledgement and it doesn't fit in your will.
26:52I'm referring to the Amy Sherald portrait.
26:55The piece you had commissioned of the girls?
26:57The very one.
26:58I was livid when that mediator ruled that it was yours.
27:01Especially since you stuck it in your study where nobody can see it.
27:04Come on.
27:05It's personal.
27:06It belongs in a private space.
27:08Translation, Haley couldn't stomach having her morning coffee with a daily reminder that she's a homewrecker.
27:13Ooh, but I bet she already had it appraised and she's going to have quite the tantrum when she realizes
27:17that it's not hers.
27:20It's not about her.
27:23It's not about the price tag.
27:25That portrait has sentimental value to you.
27:28That's what matters.
27:30You call Haley a gold digger.
27:33But then you want me to play that role in your family's eyes?
27:37What happens when Bill finds out his protege couldn't even secure his own buy-in without your family's money?
27:43This isn't the same thing.
27:46Partners invest in each other.
27:47I'm not trying to buy you.
27:49I'm trying to support you.
27:51If I take your money, it changes us.
27:56And that's the last thing I want.
27:59I have this picture of how I want our lives to be.
28:04After a few years of full partner, I'll finally have the financial security I've been chasing my whole life.
28:10Then we buy that house with the wraparound porch, travel wherever we want, and build something solid as equals.
28:20That's the future I see for us.
28:22And I can't let anything cheapen it.
28:25Not even your generosity.
28:29I love that vision.
28:31But baby, you already are my equal.
28:35Money doesn't change that.
28:38Good.
28:39Because Bill pushing me in this direction might be the best thing that ever happened.
28:45Well, there's one more bonus to that for us.
28:50I am not going to second guess myself because some man thinks he knows me better than me.
29:15So, I've been working some new angles.
29:17Found this liquor supplier who can hook us up.
29:20That's why you interrupted me?
29:22He's offering a way better deal than what we're getting right now, Joey.
29:25You could have put that in an email.
29:27I just figured you would appreciate me being all proactive.
29:31Or you want to impress me.
29:33Oh, well, that's very different.
29:35Here.
29:36Have a seat.
29:38Couple of things I'd like to discuss.
29:41Alright, boss.
29:42Whatever you need.
29:44So, Bill Hamilton asked me to look into Haley's new friend.
29:49This woman.
29:52Who just happened to witness her mugging.
29:55Alright.
29:56Say less.
29:57What do you need me to find out?
30:00As if you don't already know everything.
30:04I don't know what you mean by that, Joey.
30:06Yeah, sure, I know Haley, but this random chick, she don't mean nothing to me.
30:10Huh.
30:11She meant enough for you to suck her fingers in the middle of Orphe jeans.
30:31If this is a dream, my subconscious has great taste.
30:38Oh, baby, I am very, very real.
30:50Just think of this as a fairy tale.
30:53Only tonight, the prince gets awakened by the kiss.
30:58From the princess he entrusted with the magical keys to his castle.
31:02Oh.
31:07A part of me thought you put that key in a drawer just to torture me.
31:13No more words.
31:16I have talked enough tonight.
31:27Damn, Joey.
31:29You really do have eyes everywhere.
31:32What else did June tell you?
31:38Now you know I can't confirm or deny where I get my intel.
31:43I just hope Lynette's fingers were worth it.
31:47You tell Bill?
31:49Haven't felt the need.
31:50Bill's a sharp guy.
31:51He'll put the pieces together soon enough.
31:53Or you can do me a solid and leave Bill down the wrong path.
32:00Come on, Joey.
32:01What do you need?
32:02You need me to lean on somebody?
32:04You know I'm good for it.
32:05Well, that's tempting.
32:08But, no.
32:09I just can't in good conscience lie to the man.
32:13When has that ever stopped you before?
32:15Sorry, Randy.
32:16I'm not gonna save your ass on this one.
32:20But...
32:22Good luck.
32:24You're gonna need it.
32:27You realize we just had one of those heavy conversations and we didn't even come close to arguing.
32:33A miracle.
32:35Or maybe it's growth.
32:37Who knew?
32:38Us.
32:39Cheetering on the brink of functionality.
32:42Past the brink, actually.
32:45I just never thought we would get to this point.
32:47I thought we would be destined to be those bitter exes who can only communicate through lawyers and passive-aggressive
32:54holiday cards.
32:55Well, I'm damn glad we did.
32:58You know, honestly, I can't imagine my life without you in it.
33:04That wasn't me.
33:06I wasn't trying to...
33:06I know what you mean.
33:08We're always connected.
33:10There's no debate in that.
33:12I don't know what to call whatever this is.
33:15We're not spouses.
33:16We're not enemies.
33:18Maybe we're just friends.
33:20Is there such thing as a friend with a beneficiary?
33:24Well, there is now.
33:28Once you walk out of Bill's firm, there's nothing tying your hands.
33:32Which means we can finally investigate Lynette.
33:36Kat, no.
33:38The whole point of this new gig is to leave all that behind.
33:43I was hoping I could forget she even existed.
33:46See, that's the problem.
33:47My gut won't let me forget, and my gut is always on point.
33:51One, Lynette flirts with you the literal second her charges vanish.
33:55Two, she's suddenly besties with Haley like they've been tight forever.
34:00Which, oops, maybe they have been.
34:02And three, she hardly has a digital footprint.
34:06Not even a dusty burner account.
34:08Maybe she's just old school.
34:10Not everybody wants their business out there.
34:13Not having any receipts online is the biggest receipt of all.
34:19Look, the way Bill played you was foul, but this isn't about him anymore.
34:25If Lynette's running some scam, it could blow back on him.
34:29Or worse, on my family.
34:31And I don't play about my people.
34:34So what? You want us to go full Sherlock and Watson?
34:38Well, with your legal smarts and my podcast trained sleuthing, we're unstoppable.
34:47Lynette Wise is cooked.
34:53Why is it so hard for you to believe that I went legit?
34:57Because, boo, this has every fingerprint of your old grifts.
35:05You bagged your mark.
35:06You locked down your ring.
35:08And then you moved into the mansion.
35:11And now you sit here acting brand new as if you were born into this life.
35:16Okay, so getting married and building a home, that's what people do when they fall in love.
35:21And speaking of my ring...
35:23Right, because if that marriage was so solid, then you wouldn't have staged that desperate housewife nonsense.
35:28I never asked you to hit me.
35:30I just needed a way to get Bill to stay with me and not run back to his ex because
35:35I love him.
35:37No.
35:37You love money.
35:39And you always have.
35:41And Bill's sitting on more paper than the printing press.
35:43Which means that I'm not bouncing until I get what's mine.
35:47Lynette, you tripping.
35:48And don't worry, because I ain't gonna wreck whatever you got going on.
35:53Unless you refuse to cut me in.
35:57You're putting me in a difficult position.
36:00Don't test me, Val.
36:04Cause I will blow your plan, Skaha.
36:33So.
36:42You.
36:48I'm a vous-même.
36:50You
