00:10and this is a recurring dream that you're having yes and in it the two of you are riding in
00:20that
00:20convertible in the motorcade in Dallas only you're the one that's injured
00:27what are you wearing I'm wearing the same thing as mother wore that pink tweed suit in the pillbox hat
00:34she hates wearing hats I do okay well obviously that's what tracks what we're talking about in
00:41our sessions the idea that you are paying the price for John's fame for John's ambitions it
00:49also speaks to an outsized fear of exposure of the real world let's just try not to editorialize
00:56it's okay well maybe if I was at home sleeping with her on our bed she wouldn't be having these
01:00nightmares you were the one you decided to leave and now you're saying your absence is the problem
01:04yeah so we wouldn't say anything we could never take back yeah so you go on a walk John you
01:08don't
01:09move out I didn't move out you left and then you you yeah you didn't come back so how would
01:13you
01:14characterize that oh my god and if that is your instinct to bolt when things get hard how can
01:18I trust you just won't keep doing it I was the one that made it very clear that divorce was
01:22off
01:22the table so I should just feel comforted that you have unilaterally issued that decree it means
01:27that the only option in my mind is to make this marriage work John there is a difference between
01:31not wanting us to fail and wanting us to succeed John views our marriage through the lens of the
01:37media he's more concerned with the optics of our issues than our actual issues we cannot just ignore
01:43the fact that we live under a microscope because it's inconvenient I cannot be the third person in my
01:47marriage spending the rest of my life competing with everyone else in the world or his family's
01:53legacy or his magazine I know that this is going to sound counterintuitive but just based on
02:02everything that I'm hearing I would advise a child separation I'm sorry what your advice for our marriage is
02:15divorce no but I think part of the reason that you two aren't finding any clarity is that you're
02:24you're stuck in this sort of little space and maybe if you severed contact for a little while
02:34you would gain a clearer idea of what you're missing or what your life would actually look like
02:43without the other like for how long yeah like one two weeks a month maybe two
02:53um do you have like too many clients or no no I mean you obviously would see me you just
03:00wouldn't
03:00see each other I can't not talk to my wife for a month yeah I don't want to do that
03:05either
03:05I mean I don't think I could even if you asked me to well I mean you won't come together
03:13you won't let
03:14go and instead you were just white knuggling this marriage into a downward spiral
03:47what happened to one cigarette a day
03:49I'm drinking in a diet bar in the middle of a work day after marriage counseling
03:53let's say my discipline is shot for the day
04:12you know
04:12you know something funny when we're at the stand-up reminiscing about our life together remember we play the bad
04:19moments in my head all I think about is us at our best laughing always reaching out
04:27for each other
04:29never enough for us to just be in the same room we always have to feel each other to know
04:33that we're really there
04:35and then when we get together it's all we can do not to rehash every fight we've ever had
04:39I don't think we're totally to blame
04:43a marriage counselor hates us
04:49I think she's gonna become a divorce mediator because of us
04:54you know what I was thinking about the other day
04:56yeah
04:57that trip we took to Honduras
05:00when you got poison ivy everywhere and I had to wrap your hands in socks to keep you from aging
05:05he's killing my lotion everywhere
05:07yeah one big pink
05:10man very messy
05:12what about that time we had socks on the rooftop in Paris
05:15you almost gonna let you get in
05:17worth it
05:27don't let me get in
05:29right
05:34don't let me get in
05:34don't let me get in
05:38what
05:46I gotta be at it
05:47One more drink in this place and we really want to be a slabs for you.
05:53Hey.
05:54Sorry.
05:55It's okay.
05:58Do you mind if I drop by and get that lemon blazer?
06:07Over the sun to get over the sun to get over the sun to get over the sun to get
06:14over the sun to get over the sun to get over the sun to get over the sun.
06:20It's okay.
06:54It's okay.
06:54Most kiss you've ever had?
06:57It has to be our first.
06:58That's not your body.
07:00No, no, that doesn't count.
07:03I mean, it's a couple.
07:05And there have been lots of you.
07:09John's Beach?
07:10It's time.
07:14I'm going to go by the fire that lies in Montana.
07:20No, I remember what it was.
07:22Fuck!
07:23I'm sorry.
07:24I'm sorry.
07:29Oh, wait.
07:29Give me a kiss.
07:34Hi.
07:35We'll see you later, yeah?
07:38I'm sorry.
09:36I can cancel it.
09:38Yeah, no, it's fine.
09:39I just, um, I thought maybe we might want to talk about last night.
09:44Yeah?
09:45Yeah.
09:49I mean, do you feel good?
09:53Uh, no.
09:55I mean, I don't know.
09:57Do you feel good about what's happening right now?
10:03What are we going to find?
10:06You know what?
10:07It's probably less we just talk about it than counseling anyway.
10:12Do you think we tell Colleen?
10:13I mean, you kind of get exactly the opposite of what she asks us to.
10:21John, I'm confused.
10:22Are we angling for a gold star here or trying to save a marriage?
10:27I mean, I just don't want her to think that we're any more self-destructive than she already does.
10:35Am I seeing you at the George Gower?
10:37No, John, I just can't.
10:39Right now.
10:42So then I assume Rory's wedding is off the table?
10:48I love you, but you still don't get it.
10:52It's not as easy for me as it is for you.
10:55Why is it?
10:57Pretending like anything's okay?
11:00I can assure you that this is anything but easy for me.
11:05Talk to you later.
11:07Yeah.
11:23I'm going to put up my back here so she died.
11:28She's terrible.
11:29Wow.
11:30I'm nervous for that person.
11:31She's crying.
11:32Yeah, well, stress will do that to you.
11:34Mm-hmm.
11:42Sit down.
11:46It's a lot.
11:51And you have to ask yourself what's actually within your control.
11:55And what can you save?
11:58She won't forgive me.
11:59For what?
12:00Ruining her life.
12:02Destroying her anonymity.
12:04Failing to protect her.
12:06I remember sitting here with Mom and her telling me that any woman I ended up with would be under
12:11the illusion that we were entering a partnership.
12:13When in reality, they just have to orbit me like everybody else.
12:20She was married to the president of the United States.
12:24All she knew was how to orbit a great man.
12:27But you aren't dad and Carolyn isn't the first lady.
12:32John, you dated countless women who were more than willing to let you be the center of the universe and
12:38none of them stuck.
12:39And then you met someone who wasn't willing to contort themselves into whatever they thought you needed.
12:44And you fell in love.
12:47And now those qualities, that fire, that self-possession, aren't serving you anymore and you're crying foul.
12:53I have tried everything in my power to make her happy.
12:58What she's asking of you feels unreasonable because no one has ever asked it of you before.
13:03Your whole life, people have been willing to take whatever pieces of yourself you're willing to give them, but she
13:08isn't.
13:11And she was never going to be someone who would be.
13:19I know you've been made to feel like your life is predestined, but that doesn't mean you are powerless to
13:24change it.
13:28The question is, do you love her enough to do that?
14:00I spoke to John earlier.
14:04He called to ask how you were doing.
14:08Well, what'd you tell him?
14:09I said pick up the phone and call her yourself.
14:16He did offer to drop me off in the vineyard on the side of Rory's wedding.
14:20I don't butter you up.
14:23Did you say yes?
14:25Well, I'm not going to turn down a ride on a summer Friday.
14:31You should have seen him when I came downstairs this morning.
14:34He was heading off to work like it was any normal day.
14:37Well, did you say, hey, can you cancel your meeting?
14:40You really have to talk.
14:41I shouldn't have to.
14:42It's not my job to add a rhyme.
14:44Well, then you clearly weren't that desperate to communicate either.
14:48No.
14:50You think because of our shit with dad that him leaving is the ultimate betrayal?
14:54But this is also you projecting shit onto John that has nothing to do with him.
15:01If you really wanted to work on this relationship, you would swallow your pride, jettison this compulsion to be right,
15:09and do what's in the best interest of your relationship.
15:13All I've done is compromise hormone.
15:16It's only compromise if it's by your own volition.
15:19But you can't cling to the past, but you can't cling to the past and work towards the future at
15:22the same time.
15:30They're so happy.
15:32They're so happy.
15:36They're so happy.
15:39They're so happy.
15:48Hey.
15:49Hey, look back there.
18:27And you said you felt like you had a sign over your head.
18:30They read the hunk of hunks and that was all people saw when they looked at you.
18:35And I remember asking you what your sign read and you wouldn't tell me and you still haven't
18:40told me.
18:41And I don't think you told anyone.
18:48Because if you knew what my sign said, please handle with care and not as tough as she looks,
18:55then Jake would have been up.
18:58There'd be no mystery for you to solve, no defense system to disarm, and you've brought no reason
19:05to stay.
19:08But then I met you and I fell in love with you and I didn't want to do that anymore.
19:23You made me realize that I'm someone who wants to be loved and nurtured.
19:33You're taking care of me.
19:43You're taking care of me.
19:44How do we know we won't hurt each other?
19:47We don't.
19:49We don't.
19:50We don't.
19:50We just know what we want to try and build a life for ourselves as partners.
19:56Karen, what does that look like though, John?
19:58Because I don't think our marriage can't withstand any more scrutiny.
20:02I know.
20:04Well, part of that means I have to re-examine my relationship with everyone and everything
20:09that isn't you.
20:11Because you will come first.
20:13I don't want you to feel like you have to choose.
20:16I know you've been burdened with unfathomable expectations and I would never fault you for
20:20trying to meet them.
20:22Karen.
20:23You're the one thing in my life that I know that I'm destined for.
20:29I love you.
20:34I love you, dear.
20:43Yeah, I was thinking I'd do that for it and then I could go on the track.
20:50Well, I know what you want.
20:53Paris.
20:54I love you.
20:58For how long?
21:00Until we decide to come home.
21:02Well, that might be for us.
21:06I'll be back on Sunday for Maury's wedding.
21:08Well, we pull out a world map and find the most familiar I don't know who's ever heard of.
21:13I forgot about that.
21:16I don't know who's ever heard of that.
21:19Caroline's not even going.
21:20No, I want to go.
21:22You don't?
21:27Yeah.
21:31I miss dancing with you.
21:35I miss dancing with you.
21:36I miss dancing with you.
21:37All right, that's right.
21:47In the king's room.
21:50In the�� Coup call.
22:03How many lives do you want to sleep?
22:04Anyway, he's been saying a lot about her but I won't stop us.
22:05In his living room with himit.
22:07grandma, you know, I can't remember it.
22:09That might have been even better than the first time.
22:17I should go.
22:21Got a funny dress.
22:29What if we're jumping the gun?
22:30What do you mean?
22:32It's just we're finally getting to a good place and...
22:35I don't know if subjecting ourselves to the prying eyes of a massive Kennedy wedding is the move for us
22:40right now.
22:41It's normal to feel anxious and apprehensive, but you two are going into this weekend with a completely different mindset
22:46than in the past.
22:48Go get your nails done. Go from there.
22:51Okay, okay.
22:52One step at a time.
22:53Love you.
22:54Thanks, Lord. See you soon.
23:03Hey, this is John Kennedy, requesting a standard weather briefing for a VFR flight from Essex County to Martha's Vineyard
23:09departing around 6pm.
23:10Huh?
23:14Huh?
23:17Huh?
23:25Huh?
23:34What did she say exactly?
23:37She was nervous.
23:40I thought we were going to pass this.
23:43You thought you were going to change overnight?
23:5912 months later, she was sweating?
24:03What did she say exactly?
24:06She was counting.
24:07I had to break you down because they're working at one point in the future and I Woolsey.
24:09Oak Tree.
24:10Theérerший.
24:10It's nothing that's frightening.
24:10Yeah.
