00:05You
00:06Miss Thomas, allow me
00:08Sir, you don't just cut away someone's masterpiece without asking. I could be Kennedy Ryan or something herself
00:16And you just picking up what I dropped like it's trash. What's wrong with you?
00:20I'm sorry. I didn't realize you're a writer. Oh, well, I am today more fair. My whole social standing depends
00:27on it
00:28You know Teddy Bear was right that big old check that I wrote this place wasn't enough for these Fairmont
00:35Crest
00:36biatches
00:37But my clinic and this speech is gonna change all that
00:43Only it has to be perfect
00:47witty
00:48but not too
00:50jokey
00:51smart, but not
00:53pretentious
00:54so good that
00:56it'll elevate me beyond
00:59social heights
01:01Mmm, so um if you are not moonlighting for one of these fancy DC speechwriters
01:08I need you to scoop the bay. It won't happen again. Oh, I know
01:16There's no shame in taking a step back. I have some words prepared. You can just snip snip that ribbon.
01:22Oh
01:22I won't be reduced to a snip snip when I'm a main event
01:28Money talks, Nessa. I'm the money
01:31Don't you mean half the money? Joey's the other half. Remember?
01:35That would be a really great wonderful thing to retain if he would just show his pretty face around more
01:44Yeah, and I know he wants you to be the representative for his interest, but um
01:50You would never represent me
01:54I thought I wouldn't mind, you know taking him for a spin
01:59I'm assuming your text was about a certain blonde you wanted me to keep my eyes on
02:02It is
02:04And you failed spectacularly she get a cramp on the way home from pilates
02:09A heart-attached clients husband put his hands on her. Is she all right?
02:14randy was there
02:15He stepped up
02:17Sorry for your girl's scare
02:19You know, maybe it's time for us to put some permanent muscle on vanessa. You want me to vet some
02:25guys?
02:26I have another assignment in mind for you
02:29What do you need?
02:31Don't make a face like it's a chore when it's just the opposite
02:35I need you to put a little more energy into satisfying your crazy girlfriend because I'm tired of her flirting
02:41with me
03:17I'm tired of her flirting with me
03:19I'm tired of her flirting with her
03:30I can see how exhausted you both are.
03:32We look that bad.
03:33Never bad.
03:35Just wiped from hanging out with the devil himself all week.
03:39Unfortunately, the nickname for my new chemo regimen
03:43is apropos.
03:45That's your grandstanding up to that red devil
03:48as only she can.
03:50Just mentioning the rest of the Dupree fans here for you.
03:57I can still pour my own tea, you know,
04:00and do other things as well.
04:02I am very well aware of how capable you are,
04:07which is why I'm here.
04:11I was wondering if you could do something for me.
04:15Anything to take the spotlight off of me.
04:18Does anything include letting me move in
04:21with my favorite grandparents?
04:26You changed your phone number or something?
04:29You've been leaving a brother on red.
04:31Still expecting a girl to snap to after all this time.
04:35A girl can be busy.
04:37What, sipping room service over at the Bowman
04:39off the Hamilton's Dine?
04:40Getting the charges against me gone.
04:43Our girl Haley finally came through.
04:46Babe, one night in paradise is still one night in paradise.
04:51Yeah, but every time we get away,
04:52something pulls us back here.
04:54You know what?
04:56I'm gonna give Judge Collier a piece of my mind,
04:58bringing us back from St. Bart's for a preliminary hearing
05:01that I could have Zoomed.
05:03You being Bill Hamilton, Esquire,
05:05is exactly why we can afford a piece of paradise.
05:09You know, at least we got to wet our appetites
05:12for a lifetime of island getaways.
05:15So my pretty wife isn't gonna pout about this?
05:18I would have enjoyed spending more time away with my hubby,
05:23but, you know, at least we got a break from everything that's been going down lately.
05:28The mugging, my attacker being released.
05:31Just all of it.
05:33And now we can be in our home without any bad juju.
05:39In fact, it feels completely cleansed.
05:46Wait.
05:47What is that?
05:50What's what?
05:52You don't feel it?
05:55Feel what?
05:56Our house has got its sexy back.
06:00Has it now?
06:02Yeah, and I'm going to make sure you fill it too.
06:08Mm-hmm.
06:13Chelsea and I thought the three of us would be fine living together at our place,
06:17but she and Madison deserve their engage time.
06:20Well, that was very big of you to volunteer to move out.
06:23Well, I'm excellent maid of honor material.
06:27Are you also thinking about being marriage material?
06:32That is your granddad's unsettled way of asking if you reconsidered your young man's offer to move in together.
06:39I did, but he turned me down.
06:44No one turns down our cat.
06:47Tomas was right.
06:48When we take that step, it should be because we're ready,
06:51not because I'm without a place to lay my silk bonnet.
06:55That is very wise.
06:57But also, you're capable of buying your own place.
07:00Yeah, but I want a home that's just right, and why settle when I can come here?
07:06Why indeed?
07:08If you could just give me one of the guest's wings temporarily, I can keep my independence without stepping on
07:16yours.
07:17It is a very big house.
07:19And it's a very big time.
07:22Look, I know that you can handle the Red Devil on your own.
07:26But you also taught me that our Dupree power lies in being there for each other.
07:32And having your type A organizer energizer bunny granddaughter around couldn't be the worst thing.
07:41Well, my calendar of doctor's appointments and infusions and medications is more hectic than any call sheet or concert itinerary.
07:51That's for sure.
07:53And it would be nice to give your granddad a little backup.
07:57Having that smile around here be like letting the light in.
08:03Is that a yes?
08:08Welcome home.
08:12We are all good with the health department permit and proof of fire inspection.
08:16That's huge.
08:18Seriously, Derek, you aren't sleeping on anything.
08:20Following protocol was everything in my last job.
08:23As you probably have figured out, Mama doesn't have it like that.
08:26Without you, she would have tried to bribe some inspector because her favorite character on her stories did it.
08:32Well, back here in the real world, we are keeping everything legit.
08:36I'm counting on that.
08:37I'm doing this for the people who really need it.
08:40Once the publicity dies down, I don't know if Leslie would care if the place burns to the ground or
08:43not.
08:44I get why you would feel that, but me and Mama understand these people.
08:50We were these people.
08:51She knows what it's like to skip a doctor's appointment for herself just so she can afford one for me.
08:57I didn't know that. I'm sorry.
08:59Mama likes being front and center because she spent too long feeling invisible.
09:05So you're saying she's not going to just be like a tourist, here for the thrill, gone after it fades?
09:10No promises, but it's not like you want her hanging around.
09:13Hell no.
09:14What's important is that she keeps the funding coming.
09:17Patients who will reach out to us, they deserve more than a false start.
09:21So do you.
09:23Changing career lanes can be humbling.
09:26You're afraid that you put your whole heart in it.
09:29It'll all go away, right?
09:30This isn't about me.
09:32Noted, hero.
09:35Joey Armstrong's strictly off the market.
09:38You used those exact same words about my shouts.
09:41And it just took the right offer for me to get what I wanted.
09:45I'm warning you because I care about this clinic.
09:49Joey has a line.
09:50You can push him and push him and you'll get no reaction,
09:53but cross that line from amusing him to annoying him and you...
09:57And oh, I'll enjoy every second of the pushback.
10:01Even I don't want to see you humiliated like that.
10:04I wanted to offer up the advice woman to woman, but you do you.
10:09I'd listen to her if I were you.
10:12Hi, Mom.
10:18Since when do you need my help beating beautiful women off with a stick?
10:22Oh, I could take care of it myself,
10:24but since the clinic is throwing our lady friends together,
10:28I don't want my charitable venture devolving into a cat fight,
10:32especially since Leslie's shown some homicidal tendencies.
10:38So the dangerous part of this whole scenario is,
10:41Leslie, I get it that you had to have the woman,
10:46but sponsoring the clinic feels like a twist too far.
10:51It's a fitting tribute.
10:54It's Frosty, even for you.
10:57His wife, his bed, his clinic.
11:02Anyone else would be seeing the ghost of dead husband past.
11:07How are you sleeping?
11:09Well, since Vanessa's sharing my bed,
11:12deep and dreamless,
11:13and no,
11:15I don't talk in my sleep.
11:17We put distance between us and the things we do,
11:21but staying this close,
11:23this personal,
11:24the truth has a way of coming out.
11:28Oh, baby, you came.
11:30You sold me on it like one of your houses.
11:34Leslie Thomas,
11:35you must be Vanessa's daughter.
11:37Oh, you are such a pretty little thing.
11:39Well, you're pretty too.
11:41Okay.
11:42I like her.
11:44Well, we'll be seeing each other,
11:46a lot of each other,
11:48at tomorrow's opening.
11:49Leslie finances the clinic.
11:51Just half of it.
11:52The other half belongs to...
11:54Deanna doesn't need all the details.
11:56Let's let Leslie finish writing her speech.
11:59She's nervous.
12:04Say his name, don't say his name.
12:07Make up your damn mind.
12:10You are forbidden to like that woman.
12:13Where's your other half?
12:14Donnell had a late class.
12:15I took the metro.
12:17I would have come for you.
12:18I didn't make up my mind till last second.
12:21Donnell tipped the scales.
12:22No, my FOMO outweighed any potential Romo.
12:26Romo?
12:27It's relief of missing out.
12:36I thought it would look different without Dad.
12:38I mean, we spent so much time with him here.
12:40We were so disgustingly perfect and happy.
12:44Matching track suits,
12:46family pickleball games,
12:49Dad teaching Donnell and I tennis and golf,
12:52weekly brunches with the fam.
12:54I just had no idea that Dad was sad
12:56underneath all that perfect.
12:58Oh, baby.
13:00Don't think of it like that.
13:02The happy was real.
13:06I know this is hard.
13:08Is this the part where you tell me it gets easier?
13:11Instead, I will tell you I am proud of you
13:13for getting on that train.
13:19He did this all without stepping foot in the corner.
13:23That man is powerful.
13:25Okay, so now that you are free at last,
13:28where do you go if you just escape embezzlement charges?
13:32Disney World?
13:33I'm not going anywhere.
13:35I thought you would want to keep rolling on.
13:38I mean, as scary as all this was,
13:41it made me realize what I was missing.
13:44Me?
13:46Hayley.
13:47I mean, we used to share everything together.
13:51I want to get back to that.
13:53I mean, I wouldn't even mind
13:55getting to know her husband a little better.
13:59Share my gratitude.
14:01You don't want to do that?
14:02Why?
14:03Because I would mess up any long con
14:06you and Hayley were playing.
14:08And just because we left St. Bart's
14:12doesn't mean St. Bart's can't be up in here.
14:18When you commit, you commit.
14:22Look, my wife went all full Jimmy Buffett.
14:25Oh, wait, is that the guy
14:28who shows up in your old school mix in the car?
14:31I'm just going to shut up
14:33and enjoy the view.
14:39Come sip your cocktail.
14:41It completes the effect, babe.
14:43Especially if the effect is me
14:45not being locked in for this hearing.
14:48I'll have to find a non-alcoholic way
14:52to get you to feel as relaxed as you did on that beach.
15:03Well, if you wanted me incapable of speaking
15:05when I got to court,
15:06we could have just stayed in St. Bart's.
15:09All you have to do is
15:12pull.
15:14You could do that hearing
15:15with your hands tied behind your back
15:17with my little bikini.
15:19You just have to show up
15:21and, you know, show out with your bad self.
15:25Oh.
15:26So why'd you pick this moment to seduce me?
15:33Because everything in me
15:35is telling me that this is the time and place
15:38we can make our baby.
15:48The name protects Haley from her past.
15:51Bill is Haley's future.
15:52Uh-huh.
15:54If it's true love,
15:55why shouldn't it be Teflon?
15:58They started out as an affair.
16:01And as much as Haley tries to shore up that love,
16:05she is worried that she will lose them
16:07the same way she got them.
16:09And damn, woman,
16:10it wouldn't take much for you
16:12to get her man too stray.
16:14Well, I gave you the come on
16:16and you didn't come on.
16:18You ran like a little...
16:20Easy.
16:22Now, you know there's nothing
16:24little about me.
16:26Why else would I have been
16:27blowing your phone up?
16:29To keep an eye on me
16:31for our mutual friend.
16:33Your case is closed.
16:34Nobody has to keep an eye on anyone.
16:37You know, time's been good to us.
16:38Somehow, you got finer
16:40and I've been in the lab
16:42working on my game.
16:44Big talk.
16:59Mona, why did you hit me?
17:01Because y'all are nasty.
17:03Look, Mama likes to talk,
17:06but she's not quick to burn someone she needs.
17:08Million dollar listing Barbie
17:10doesn't even know her place.
17:13The clinic is being dedicated
17:15to Vanessa's husband.
17:17Do you know that Heifer implied
17:19that it'd be better
17:20if I just skip my speech
17:22and she do all the talking?
17:24I thought you were just gonna help
17:25cut the ribbon, look flawless,
17:27and do your beauty pageant wave.
17:29Oh, so now it's better
17:30if I'm just seen and not heard.
17:33Mama, there's an art to speeches, okay?
17:35I helped Nicole with hers once.
17:37Are you Nicole-ing me right now?
17:39I could help.
17:41And I'm just gonna get up there
17:42and I shall inspire.
17:45Inspire what exactly?
17:47Eva's right.
17:48People respond to specifics
17:50rather than platitudes.
17:53Mr. Stop, Drop, and Roll,
17:54do you have notes?
17:56See, because there's a pecking order
17:58and I'm the one who does the pecking.
18:01Now, if you don't understand,
18:03you can just cock-a-doodle
18:05your ass on up out of here.
18:07Fine.
18:08I don't have to live
18:09under your constant threats.
18:10I quit.
18:13Now that we've agreed upon the rules,
18:15I think we're all set.
18:16Yes to weekly dinners
18:18and grandmother-granddaughter
18:20mystery book club
18:21and I keep the pity
18:23and the sighs
18:25and the old grands
18:27to a minimum.
18:30Anything to add?
18:32When do you move in?
18:34Tomorrow?
18:35Okay.
18:37Rowena will make sure
18:38your wing is ready.
18:40Ooh, I love the sound of that.
18:42My wing.
18:46What is that?
18:48Construction
18:49on Leslie's shouse
18:51must have resumed.
18:52We had a bit of a respite
18:54because of the cold snaps
18:55over the past few weeks,
18:57but now...
18:58It's worse than ever?
19:00Well, I can loan you
19:01one of my many
19:02noise cancellation headphones.
19:04Why would you have to wear those
19:06when she's the one
19:07who should be canceled?
19:10Where are you going?
19:11To lie down in front
19:13of a bulldozer.
19:18Mona,
19:20what Lynette and I do
19:22is none of your business.
19:23Oh, this is Lynette.
19:25Is Lynette so finger-licking good
19:27you forgot you were
19:28in a public place?
19:29This is Orphy Jeans,
19:31not one of those clubs
19:32where you eat sushi
19:33off a stripper.
19:34I know.
19:36You didn't just call me
19:37no fast food.
19:38Sushi stripper.
19:39Respect is a two-way street.
19:41Want it.
19:42Give it.
19:44I can't believe
19:45I let you share my pew.
19:47Okay, Mona,
19:47you were right about me.
19:49And the last thing
19:49that I ever want to do
19:50is hurt or offend you.
19:52You were making
19:53all the right noises before.
19:55But I guess
19:56this is the real you.
19:58Borderline indecent.
20:00You know,
20:00we both still have
20:01our clothes on.
20:03But if you can't handle
20:05a little public affection,
20:07then maybe you should
20:08take your trad wife-sounding
20:09self back home.
20:10Or maybe
20:14you both need Jesus.
20:22I thought you needed
20:24a minute before
20:24we try it again.
20:25I was the one
20:26raring to go.
20:28You got the all clear
20:29from the doctor.
20:30And, I don't know,
20:32just us being home
20:34where it's just
20:35you and me.
20:37No distractions.
20:38Mm-hmm.
20:40I don't know.
20:40Maybe it's just
20:41residual high
20:43from the ocean's air.
20:44But
20:44I feel like
20:47my fertility,
20:49well,
20:50it's peaking.
20:52I could have told you
20:53that just by
20:54looking at you.
20:55You're glowing.
20:56But
20:58just because
20:59I'm feeling this moment
21:00doesn't mean
21:01it has to happen today.
21:04Maybe my body
21:05will be in
21:06baby-making mode
21:07tomorrow.
21:08Yeah, well,
21:10we don't know
21:10the mysteries
21:11of the body of mine,
21:12but I'm dedicating
21:13my life to the mystery
21:14of yours.
21:15And if you feel like
21:17you're ready to make
21:18the next generation
21:19of our family,
21:20then everything else
21:23can wait.
21:25Mm-hmm.
21:28You know,
21:30the Joey I know
21:31has never been up
21:31in his feelings,
21:32building clinics
21:34with Mary Blonde widows.
21:36Well, that's how confident
21:37I am in your cleanup
21:39and mine.
21:40There's no truth to find.
21:42There's no footage
21:44of a cop
21:45ushering a hapless gambler
21:46out of the casino
21:47that night.
21:48It's as if
21:49it never happened.
21:53Like a tree
21:54that falls in the forest
21:55when no one's around
21:57to hear it, huh?
21:58You and I
21:59have felled
21:59many a tree.
22:01Not one of them
22:02has ever made a sound.
22:04But we know.
22:06Not every man
22:07is cut out
22:07for forestry,
22:09but we are.
22:11Because?
22:12Selective memory.
22:15We take what suits us
22:17and bury the rest.
22:18Now,
22:18all I need you to do
22:21is make sure
22:22that you make Leslie
22:24as happy as Vanessa
22:26makes me.
22:28I really hope
22:29when you see the clinic,
22:30you'll feel some peace, too.
22:33So ribbon cuttings
22:35a bonus stage of grief?
22:39Sorry, Mom.
22:41I just,
22:41sometimes I blurt
22:42whatever comes to my head.
22:43You never have to apologize
22:44for telling me
22:45how you feel.
22:47How are you feeling?
22:49Working on this
22:50free clinic project
22:51has helped.
22:52It's more than a building.
22:55Knowing that your dad's
22:56legacy is living on
22:57in this way,
22:57and I hope that
22:58for you and Donnell,
22:59it's somehow comforting.
23:02Healing, even.
23:04I hope so, too.
23:05I'll say a few words
23:06at the opening.
23:07A little dedication
23:08to your dad.
23:09I'll talk about
23:10how much he loved
23:10helping people,
23:12especially the most vulnerable,
23:13and what a great
23:14man and dad he was.
23:17Well, I didn't know
23:18there'd be speeches.
23:18Why didn't you tell me?
23:20You being there
23:21is enough,
23:22but if you want to say
23:23a few words from the heart...
23:24I don't want to.
23:26And that's okay.
23:28All I want,
23:29all your dad
23:31would have wanted
23:32is for you
23:32to live your life.
23:35For you to get out
23:36of that room
23:36at the sorority
23:37and do things
23:38with your girls.
23:39Go to class.
23:41Catch a movie.
23:42Hit a party or two.
23:44Spend time with your brother
23:45and with me.
23:47Your dad wouldn't want us
23:49trapped in grief, baby.
23:50I know.
23:51I'm trying.
23:53I'm here.
23:55Mom, have you
23:56taken your own advice?
23:58Have you moved on?
24:00I'm trying, Deanna.
24:03And I want you
24:04to try, too.
24:07Evicting Leslie
24:08is not going to be
24:09my grandbaby's
24:10first act
24:11of civil disobedience.
24:13We have made
24:14every fair
24:14and legal attempt
24:15to stop her
24:16from defacing
24:17this neighborhood
24:17with that monument
24:18to bad taste.
24:20And the racket
24:21that goes with it.
24:22All to no avail.
24:25Granddad,
24:26when you faced
24:28unexpected obstacles,
24:29when you were a senator,
24:31what did you do?
24:32It isn't the same.
24:34No.
24:34You were shaping policy
24:36for an entire country,
24:37not one loony Leslie.
24:40Even in the Senate,
24:42there were setbacks.
24:44And, Gran,
24:45you shut up
24:46every doubter
24:47when your first
24:47solo record
24:48hit number one
24:49after those
24:50foolish record
24:51execs
24:52told you
24:53that Jazz
24:54was dead.
24:55Kat, honey,
24:56we're not retreating.
24:57We're just
24:57dealing with reality.
24:59We're saving
24:59every bit
25:00of your grandmother's
25:01strength
25:02and mine
25:02to face off
25:04with a far more
25:05formidable foe.
25:06all the more reason
25:07to shut Leslie
25:08down now.
25:09She can't keep
25:10zapping your energy
25:11and disturbing
25:12your peace.
25:13How does
25:14that loud,
25:15messy woman
25:16keep running
25:17circles around us?
25:22Mona is a
25:23bona fide
25:24church lady.
25:26Okay?
25:27Claws in.
25:29We met
25:30a while back
25:31and
25:32when she asked me
25:33if I wanted to go,
25:34I dragged my feet
25:35for a while.
25:36But I've always
25:37had a thing
25:38for gospel music.
25:39So we pretending
25:40to be God-faring now?
25:42It's converting
25:43good women
25:44into bad girls
25:44on your sexual
25:45bingo cards.
25:46And that is not
25:47a scam.
25:48And I didn't
25:48just go for the music.
25:49Oh.
25:50So you went
25:51for the church lady?
25:52I knew you
25:53was a freak.
25:57I went for me.
25:59You can't work
26:00for the devil
26:01for as long
26:01as I have
26:02and not start
26:03to believe
26:04in the other guy.
26:07I've done things
26:07that I need
26:08forgiveness for.
26:11You actually mean it.
26:14Yeah.
26:14I kind of do.
26:16Well, are you
26:17going to go back?
26:19If Mona
26:20ever talks
26:21to me again.
26:23How can a girl
26:24compete with that?
26:28You know,
26:30before you go
26:31dipping back
26:32into holy waters,
26:34why don't you
26:35let me give you
26:36something else
26:36you'll need
26:36forgiveness for?
26:39Like?
26:42I bet you have
26:43a big
26:46bottle of ketchup
26:47back at your place.
26:56Come on, Derek.
26:58You didn't mean
26:59what you said
26:59about quitting
27:00any more than
27:00Mama meant
27:01what she said,
27:02okay?
27:02Because if you did,
27:03the clinic
27:03wouldn't open.
27:05And if you don't
27:06take back
27:06what you said,
27:07Derek is going
27:07to walk
27:08and leave you
27:08holding the bedpan.
27:10So I propose
27:11a truce.
27:12Alright?
27:14Derek is not
27:15the help.
27:16And Mama
27:16is not going
27:17to be a bitch
27:17boss lady.
27:19Now,
27:20what do you say?
27:25It's about
27:25saving lives.
27:27Fine.
27:28Fine.
27:30No.
27:31Was that so hard?
27:32I got to get
27:33this permit
27:34posted up
27:34at the clinic.
27:35Thanks, Derek.
27:37Thanks,
27:38Mr. Fireman.
27:43Well,
27:44you know,
27:44we really didn't
27:45need smoke
27:45at a bear
27:46if you just
27:46go ahead
27:47and take that job.
27:48I'm not leaving
27:49Dad's practice.
27:50Boo.
27:51Don't boo,
27:52Mama.
27:52Change.
27:53Okay?
27:53You're doing
27:53something good.
27:54You can't treat
27:55someone who's
27:56helping you
27:56like he's
27:57the dirt
27:57on your shoe.
27:58And you can't
27:59keep antagonizing
28:00every single
28:00person you encounter.
28:01So far,
28:02everything has
28:03fallen into place.
28:05Until it doesn't.
28:07How long
28:08until you
28:09tick off
28:10the wrong person
28:11and karma
28:12catches up?
28:29Oh, hi, love.
28:32Look at you,
28:33spoiling me
28:34already.
28:35Gran, do you
28:36get this tired
28:37this early
28:38every day?
28:39Oh,
28:41it's
28:41chemo roulette.
28:44One day,
28:45there's nausea
28:46and then the next,
28:47I can barely
28:47keep my eyes open.
28:49And then when
28:50it gets really spicy,
28:51I get nausea
28:52and drowsiness
28:53and a touch
28:54of vertigo
28:55all at the same time.
28:57But there are
28:58those windows
28:59when I feel
28:59exactly myself
29:00and I'm just
29:01gliding along
29:03until I hit
29:04the skids again.
29:06Gran.
29:08Uh, uh,
29:10house rules,
29:11roomie.
29:13That was just love.
29:15I swear.
29:17You're gonna have
29:18to take a cue
29:19from your granddad.
29:20When we're
29:21through all of this,
29:22I am gonna nominate him
29:23for a Nobel Peace Prize.
29:25Is there a war
29:26I don't know about?
29:27The war inside my body.
29:30But fortunately,
29:31I have an army
29:32of Duprees
29:33right by my side.
29:36Speaking of which,
29:37where is
29:37old Captain,
29:38my Captain?
29:38He had to head out.
29:40Something to take care of.
29:44Oh, shit.
29:47What the hell?
29:48What the hell?
29:51Oh.
29:56Okay.
29:58What fresh hell
29:59have the Duprees
30:00gotten themselves into?
30:01This is repeat business.
30:04Bill!
30:06Bill!
30:14Have you found
30:15anywhere at Banneker
30:16that it tops,
30:17caffeine fixes,
30:18mocha latte?
30:20Nothing compares.
30:22I just wish
30:23I hadn't been
30:24such a brat back then.
30:25To kids,
30:27to dad.
30:29I just
30:31wish I wasn't
30:32complaining about
30:33dad as much
30:33and we spent more time
30:34watching TV as a fan.
30:36All I did was
30:37complain about
30:37how dad was always
30:38writing me
30:39about my AP bio grades.
30:40He loved
30:41tutoring you.
30:43He would always
30:43try to make me laugh.
30:44By telling you
30:46funny stories
30:46during equations.
30:47The way he can
30:49make cellular
30:49energetics interesting
30:50is beyond me.
30:52You know,
30:52he was secretly sad
30:53when he got that A+.
30:55Because I should have
30:56gotten A's all semester?
30:57Because you didn't
30:58need him anymore.
31:00I always need him.
31:02That's what I told him.
31:03I still do.
31:06He was so proud,
31:07Deanna.
31:08Because you were
31:09able to excel
31:10on your own.
31:12You were stronger
31:13than you knew
31:14then
31:15and now.
31:17I just want it
31:18all back.
31:20I know.
31:27You know I would
31:29never hurt you
31:29because harming Doug
31:30would do just that.
31:34So you're saying
31:35you had nothing
31:37to do with his death?
31:41Adamantly
31:42and unequivocally.
31:46V-Day indicated
31:48that spontaneity
31:49isn't in your repertoire.
31:51So,
31:52why the text flares?
31:54Well,
31:55I can't make it
31:55to your opening
31:56and I wanted to
31:58wish you luck
32:00in your big moment.
32:02It is a big
32:03freaking deal,
32:04right?
32:04Yeah,
32:05yeah,
32:05it is.
32:06You made it out.
32:08And instead of
32:09forgetting where
32:09you came from,
32:10you're out here
32:10trying to lend
32:11a hand to those
32:12who won't ever
32:12get that far.
32:14Thank you for being
32:15the lone someone
32:16who has confidence
32:17in me.
32:19Even the woman
32:20whose husband
32:20I'm dedicating
32:21this clinic to
32:22is doubting.
32:24But once it's
32:25up and running,
32:26maybe it'll do
32:27Vanessa and his
32:28memory some good.
32:29Well,
32:30aren't you a one-man
32:31cheering section?
32:33Rawr!
32:35Here,
32:35I thought our thing
32:36had run its course
32:38and that you were
32:39ready to forget
32:40all about me.
32:42I'm all about you
32:44and I don't
32:45forget anyone.
32:47Especially
32:47someone as
32:49beautiful as you.
32:52Mona!
32:53I'm so glad
32:53I ran into you.
32:55Eva?
32:56Did you hear
32:56about the clinic
32:57opening tomorrow?
32:58I did.
32:59And it's wonderful
33:01it's being dedicated
33:02to Doug McBride.
33:03I would love it
33:04if you came.
33:06Full disclosure,
33:06though,
33:07Mama will be
33:07making a speech.
33:09I'm staying scarce.
33:11But good for you.
33:12I wish you
33:13all the best with it.
33:14And for the community,
33:15too.
33:17I know it in no way
33:18can really make up
33:19for what I did
33:19when I first came to town.
33:21the way I heard
33:22Dad and Nicole.
33:24But putting some good
33:25into the world,
33:26I hope it makes up
33:27for the good
33:27I took out of it.
33:30You're walking the walk.
33:32Not just lip service,
33:34which is more than
33:34what some people
33:35can say.
33:37Actions speak louder,
33:39you know?
33:40And right now,
33:42the whole town
33:43is watching you testify.
33:46You should be proud
33:47of yourself.
33:49Build on that,
33:50Eva.
33:53Are you sure
33:54you're sure
33:54with me being here?
33:56I never want
33:57to intrude.
33:58If you ever want
33:58your privacy,
33:59I'm gone.
34:00Sweetheart,
34:01we did not expect you,
34:02but we are so glad
34:03to have you.
34:05I love having
34:06your energy
34:06in the house.
34:08A positive attitude
34:09alone is not
34:10what's going to
34:11beat this thing,
34:12but I have to believe.
34:13No, I know.
34:14You being here,
34:16it'll help.
34:17We will pulverize it.
34:20Now, if only
34:21we could take down
34:22Leslie Thomas, too.
34:25I had no idea
34:27anyone was here.
34:28It's not my first
34:30pen noir.
34:32I'm going to go
34:33put something on.
34:40We had to cut
34:41our getaway shorts.
34:42We were just
34:42trying to...
34:43Bill, I arrived
34:44unannounced.
34:45What happens
34:45in your home
34:46is your business.
34:49Indeed it is.
34:50But I can't
34:51help but recall
34:54last time
34:55we really talked,
34:57you were lamenting
34:59losing my daughter.
35:00Well, I'd appreciate
35:02it if you didn't
35:02bring that up
35:03under the same roof
35:04as my wife.
35:04Oh, oh.
35:06I guess no wife
35:07of Bill Hamilton
35:09ever deserves
35:10to hear the truth.
35:13Vernon, look.
35:15Look, that just
35:16brings us to why
35:16I'm here.
35:24If you really want
35:25to make it up to Danny,
35:27you could start
35:28with her mother.
35:29Is it the cancer?
35:32construction has begun
35:34again on Leslie's
35:35house of horrors
35:36and I won't have
35:38my wife
35:38enduring that
35:40noisy nonsense
35:41on top of her
35:43latest treatment.
35:44I need you to make
35:46it stop.
35:47There isn't anything
35:48legally that I can do.
35:50I don't want
35:52the lazy Bill Hamilton
35:53who dials up
35:55Joey Armstrong.
35:56No.
35:57I need that man
35:59who used the law
36:01like a sword.
36:02Find a loophole.
36:04Be that man.
36:06Find a legitimate
36:08way to put a stop
36:10to that house
36:11being built
36:12and keep
36:13Leslie Thomas
36:14on the other
36:15side of the gates.
