00:09Get over here girl
00:10Bring it in
00:12Joey was arrogant
00:14He even insulted my family
00:16You're just another Dupree
00:17Baptized in the same self-righteous water
00:20And that's why you came over last night
00:22Just give me the damn bag
00:23So we can go
00:24Every action has a consequence
00:27That someone must pay
00:29And if Joey has already figured us out
00:31Bill won't be too far behind
00:33Okay, chill out
00:34We need to kill Bill already
00:36And get the hell out before he can ruin us
00:41Man
00:43I've never been so happy to get a text from an unknown number
00:48It's not proof of life
00:49Until you hug your big brother
00:51Tell mom I'm okay
00:53I shouldn't even be in your face right now
00:55I thought it was being a good son
00:56But I was fumbling
00:58Asking Naomi to set up a call for you and Ma was not the move
01:01You meant well
01:02Naomi's just holding on right now
01:03She was so upset
01:05Yeah, I realized real quick that I messed up
01:07And then Ma laid into me double
01:09The do not disturb the family mandate
01:11I was out of step
01:13Per usual
01:14That's not true, bro
01:15Come on, you know I'm the reason we're one blue blood shy
01:17Of our own CBS cop show

04:08cake when i get there she and dad pressed at brunch without jacob being gone for so long
04:15i couldn't keep my game face and now their minds are heading straight to divorce court
04:20who better at that than knowing what he's really doing
04:22we should have come up with a better cover story than training sessions
04:26nope it wouldn't have mattered
04:28it's a step too far for anyone to believe that you or jacob
04:31would miss your anniversary there wouldn't be an anniversary if you had nudged so hard
04:37i don't know you would have found a way
04:40or we might never have happened if it weren't for you bestie
04:43i'm done i'm way too cute and way too accomplished to be waiting around for haricot

05:01flirt with

06:43did you boys ever say anything about lovers separated by crime solving you know it actually
06:47go with bell hooks when we choose love we choose to move against fear damn man let me get your
06:54new
06:54girlfriend inspired that maybe did pop say anything just that ma and eva had their own very special
07:00meet the parent moment you know darlene hawthorne don't play she probably thought i was showing up
07:05with a debutante like you did but eva is so not that and so right for me you were right
07:10in history
07:11ma didn't like naomi either but none of that mattered to me i mean from what i remember you said
07:18you
07:18showed up with your isa ray with a law degree how could anyone in our fam have a problem with
07:22that
07:22yeah right man try me her last name alone was almost a red flag
07:28i can't believe you know orphie jeans how many times have we been in the same room without knowing
07:32it trust me if we were in the same room i would have noticed
07:39you know we just found out that you were at the same scissor concert as me last month
07:45you know now that i think about it i did feel very handsome that night was that you
07:51like a buddy of mine moonlight's had a dive bar over on the wharf and she likes to drop in
07:55sometimes
07:56so maybe we could i wonder if jt likes her too the bailiff okay fine i deserve that i should
08:07have
08:07asked you out and you still didn't i asked you well you're the one who curved me at that bougie
08:13coffee shop over on marshall wait that is not fair we had never said a word to each other i
08:18wasn't
08:18going to give my number to some stranger just because he was a cop this was different fine
08:25but look you know you're fine and you're brilliant and my ego can handle both but you're also a dupree
08:33but you can't handle that it's not about what i can handle it's about what your family name means
08:40black american royalty being a dupree isn't what you think it is oh let me guess it's better
08:48different we're about blazing our own path and that path doesn't have to be fancy
08:53just has to be something good something additive
09:00sounds more like a mission i don't need the fancy i've attended balls and i've worn designer clothes and
09:07i'm not knocking it or returning it but what i want out of life is something good inside the
09:16courtroom man out i'm sure you have one hell of a closing argument you sure this isn't some
09:22way station on the way to the white house i don't know i could have taken a place at my

22:12of an asshat judge faraday was this morning come on let go listen part of being a bestie is the
22:20freedom

23:26lighting you up as you're walking on a path strewn with yellow roses your favorite
23:33and there i am standing there waiting for you all while this song is playing but i guess now we'll
23:39have to improvise jacob naomi hamilton i've never met anyone more infuriating more stubborn and more
23:50beautiful than you and i know this isn't what i planned but i couldn't wait another minute without
23:56asking you this question naomi you caught me by surprise i had this whole plan laid out for my life
24:06i was good but the second i laid my eyes on you you blew all that up i had to
24:14talk to you i had to hear
24:15your voice and as soon as i met you i realized you were more than i could ever have imagined
24:21for myself
24:22more than anything i could dream of more than the poets and the writers and the singers could ever
24:28say you were prettier kinder brighter smarter and somehow you liked me too more than liked me
24:40i couldn't fathom how somebody like you could choose me but you did and you continue to choose me
24:46each and every day naomi you came along and blew my heart wide open i love you more than anything
24:53in
24:53this world baby i love you too do you choose me now do you choose me forever
25:03naomi hamilton will you marry me
25:12yes i will marry you okay oh i did that backwards didn't i that's okay it still counts it still
25:18counts
25:21oh i love it yeah my mom gave me my grandmother's necklace and i melted it down and added that
25:27stone
25:28i've never seen anything like it
25:31wait your mom knows which means my mom has to know which me and ashley and chelsea baby relax
25:38everybody's in your mom and dad's living room right now waiting with champagne and ashley too
25:44oh no she's actually at the park with her phone waiting to capture the moment i was just about
25:47to text her okay i'm calling her all right well do it while you get dressed
25:54no no no jacob hawthorne you did not propose to me with my bonnet on baby you've never been more
26:01beautiful well if you didn't love him already that proposal would have clinched it oh the heart and
26:08timing on that boy i swear he could have been a poet or a lead in a rom-com no
26:13my man was born
26:15to be a detective cracking cases like he cracked you i couldn't ever imagine someone getting past
26:23these walls let alone setting up permanent residence
26:30this mystery training means your husband stepping it up as a detective doesn't it
26:37jacob pledged he'd never hold me back from my dreams so how can i hold him back from his
26:43doesn't mean it's easy being the one sitting by the phone naomi but isn't that what love is
26:49you know supporting your person as they become who they're meant to be my wise girl
26:59i didn't know that my first go-round but i know it this time with andre maybe i learned it
27:06from the
27:06two of you
27:13why don't you just stay over you're trying to keep me from my wedding albums i know you stole the
27:19tradition from the grams but it can wait until how we remember where we've been and to think about where
27:25we're going there's another reason you should look at those pictures and what's that so you can
27:30remember who was at your wedding because that day you two only had eyes for each other
27:37guilty as charged
27:38you said i opened your heart but i was the one stumbling around closed off emotions aren't my first
27:47language but with you the words just came tumbling and part of me wondered if i said too much
27:58naomi but there you were just receiving making me feel protected and seen and heard
28:12we made this place a place where the love goes both ways jacob hawthorne you are my safe place
28:23you are my happy place you're my whole heart i vow to spend the rest of my life making sure
28:33you feel
28:33just as safe and happy as we search for new joys each and every day naomi a partner is steadfast
28:44he communicates his needs and anticipates yours he has integrity if it gets tough or if things go
28:53haywire he always has your back i promise to give you my heart jaco i didn't know life could be
29:03this
29:03full i didn't know this level of happiness existed it's always you naomi hamilton
29:11i pledge myself to you today tomorrow and forever and i now pronounce you husband and wife
29:21jacob you may kiss your bride
29:30take care of my girl now baby it was so beautiful i will sir i'm so happy mom i can
29:37see that
29:37oh looking sharp pops yeah nice sneaks i'm here you know less formal than the cater waiters
29:48the groom's not noticing my footwear maybe but he couldn't miss that you opted out of standing by
29:54him today because you wouldn't wear a monkey suit why would you deprive your mother seeing her sons
30:01line up together almost like a real family huh but one of these things is not like the other so
30:07this
30:08is payback for calling you out on things that you should be embarrassed about you think i didn't want
30:14to stand up for jacob no i just couldn't stand you you're a heat-seeking missile targeting every which
30:21way it is a point you have the snake fits all you had to do was be a man for
30:25what the hell with that
30:27and with you turn your back on your back this is not how hawthorns behave jacob deserved one day one
30:41i'm so sorry that my son bought his insolence son this is not that kind of party this is a
30:48family matter well we're all family now you want to talk to me isaiah i'm not exactly feeling the love
30:57i'm out stay think of your brother i know i am okay he he doesn't need to see this
31:08isaiah isaiah no no let his ass go
31:13he doesn't belong
31:22i'm late bro but happy to suit up now
31:32i just wanted to see how you're doing listen
31:38i've kept my mouth shut but this so-called training that jacob is doing i don't where
31:43was this father-in-law concern when you convinced jacob to arrest mom
31:49naomi you know what you asked of him sent jacob and me spinning while you move forward with your
31:56honeymoon plans no you knew better than anyone how i feel about my father and what he did to my
32:01mother
32:01and then you did my job you executed his sneak attack that's what you did how do you expect me
32:07to trust you after that because right now i don't recognize the man that i married i should have made
32:14a different call naomi i know something confessed her between a couple okay and if mistakes were made
32:22jacob and i aren't you and mom pro tip sleeping with your daughter's best friends it's not great for
32:29marital health i just want you and jacob to do as i say and not as i did
32:37i could have stuck my head in the sand but jacob was the one to force the issue until it
32:43wasn't an
32:43issue anymore he is lovingly relentless when we got married i meant every word of my vows
32:51i did too for better or for worse right along with all those other things we're supposed to be there
32:58for each other through the good and the bad the hard and the easy the day i put this ring
33:04on your
33:04finger i signed up for the full ride that's all i know
33:13that's all i know me too
33:18jacob's not making an excuse to stay away okay we are missing each other like crazy right now

34:45Man, everything came at us this year and kept coming.
34:51When we said, I do, we were so sure we could love our way through whatever.
34:56But now we've lived it and proved it.
34:59And we should be honoring it right now.
35:01We should be looking at our wedding album, curled up on the couch with that bottle of
35:05wine we've been saving.
35:07But I promise, baby, we'll make it all up.

35:26I need you to imagine I'm there with you.
35:30Holding you.
35:32And I'll be imagining the same thing.
35:35My arms are around you.
35:38My breath's on your neck.
35:40I kiss that spot you love and you can imagine all that comes next.
35:45Well, not that part.
35:47The part where I tell you I love you.
