05:04i've seen the world sang to sold out audiences married the love of my life and raised a beautiful
05:11family why are you speaking in the past gents because chemo has taught me something
05:18that i care more about the quality of my life than its length
05:24these treatments are destroying my body and my spirit

05:35but i will live the remaining
05:38remaining days as i see fit
05:42remaining

06:23wait you think i suggest that he spin the block
06:25what do i get out of that
06:26i don't know it's strange
06:29i mean his sudden interest
06:31especially since he's all up into church now
06:37randy
06:38uh-uh
06:39unless there's some high stakes bingo games in the basement
06:43that can't be true
06:44no i swear
06:46he told me that he's going to services and everything
06:50it's like that man is at war with who he is versus who he wants to be
06:53how else would you explain that behavior
06:57he's either going through a midlife crisis
06:59or he's working the angle

10:41but
10:42in her mind
10:46in her mind
10:47daddy
10:51it seems your mother has
10:53lost her will to live
10:55well that's common in cancer patients
10:58to go into a full depression
11:00mother will get past that
11:02she wants to quit her chemotherapy
11:04what
11:04if she does that the cancer's going
11:07she intends to sign a do not resuscitate order
11:11oh come on
11:13she wants to die on her own terms
11:16she wants to give up
11:18you can't let her do that
11:21i haven't been able to stop anita from doing what she wants
11:25a day in our lives
11:29she wants you both there when she signs
11:33well we will change her mind
11:35yes
11:35we will
11:36this will not be the end
11:41at this point i'll take all the help i can get
11:51look the only agenda randy has
11:54is satisfying his own horniness
11:56if he's got some maniacal plan that involves getting you in his bed
11:59i don't know about it
12:00look i got your damn charges dropped
12:02don't i deserve some credit
12:03you came through
12:04i can't deny it
12:06i've always had your back
12:08like that time in new york
12:11oh
12:12when you distracted that renter cop so that i could boost those designer bags
12:16oh i still remember his breath
12:18we had fun
12:20didn't we
12:21the best time
12:23oh and you looked out for me too
12:25for sure
12:26remember barry
12:29how could you leave those credit cards laying around that man's house when you had them in his name girl
12:33but you know what you came through and that's when i knew you were my ride or die
12:40we'd take those fools for as much as possible as long as we could
12:48and then i met bill and you know that's when i realized there was more to life than the con
12:59copy of your will as requested
13:01oh
13:01feeling okay
13:02yeah
13:03yeah
13:04i feel fine physically but i've just been reminded that even the most formidable of us aren't immortal
13:09and i want to make sure it's up to date
13:11i understand
13:12you always advise clients to revise their wills with any life changes
13:17let me know if you need anything else
13:18all right
13:19yep
13:19thank you
13:43hey son um i know you're busy with the campaign but it's been too long
13:49let's uh catch up when you get a break
13:52maybe we can go dessert hopping like we did when you were a kid
13:58love you martin
14:08hey i spoke with anita
14:12i didn't overstep she called me in
14:15okay is she more optimistic about treatment
14:18you know we didn't even talk about the chemo
14:22she was more interested in giving me words of wisdom
14:25yeah
14:26almost felt like she was saying goodbye
14:30yeah i see that impatience when they fear they won't be around much longer
14:33they try to put out as many gems as possible before it's too late
14:36i hope she's wrong
14:38she did say some things that resonated though you know
14:42it's not too late to course correct and that's uh
14:45yeah in what way
14:47being more involved with my kids and my grandkids for one
14:51we lost our connection since the split and it's up to me to rectify
14:56i could also spend more quality time with you
14:59hmm like dinner this weekend
15:03bigger look i know we're new and people have their opinions but i don't care
15:11let's take a vacation together
15:14please tell us daddy misunderstood
15:17you do not want to die
15:19right
15:21everyone's days on this earth are finite
15:23baby
15:24but you are actively trying to shorten yours
15:28i am making the most
15:29of what i have left
15:31the good ones
15:33not days like today
15:36i spoke with bill
15:37and with ted
15:40it's the first of many conversations i plan to have with the people in my life
15:45i do not intend
15:46to leave here with unfinished business
15:50so what you're embarking on a farewell life tour
15:53like you're hitting stadiums with the articulets
15:56saying your last goodbyes
15:58nicole don't be upset
15:59i know that cancer is unbearable
16:02but mother you will get past this you know that
16:05no
16:06i don't
16:07and you cannot speak to this misery
16:10unless you have lived it
16:12so then why don't we connect you with some cancer survivors
16:15maybe hearing their stories will help
16:17a handful of stories is not going to change my mind
16:21i won't continue subjecting myself to this brutal treatment
16:25especially when there are no guarantees i'll live
16:28mother you cannot
16:29vernon
16:30i did not ask you to bring them in here
16:33for them to try to change my mind
16:36i love you far too much to just
16:39let you make such a colossal mistake
16:44i know this is a shock
16:46and i know it seems unfair
16:50but you have to trust me
16:53nicole you remember that binder i gave you
16:55with instructions for after i'm gone
16:59how long have you been planning this
17:01it was supposed to be
17:02a last resort
17:05if treatment failed
17:08you insisting on giving up
17:10and not fighting for your life
17:11was not part of the deal
17:12so no
17:13i am not upholding a thing
17:16if this is the decision you're making
17:22hey babe
17:25you are the sexiest man i've ever met
17:30you know that
17:35what's wrong
17:36oh i'm just in a mood
17:39oh okay well
17:41how about i change it
17:50or not
17:54what if i i listen
17:56bottling up whatever you're feeling won't help
18:01anita's battle with cancer isn't going well
18:05i just don't understand
18:07she seemed so strong in her interview
18:10you know i was thinking if anita actually dies
18:16yes
18:18i don't know how chelsea and naomi will be able to handle it
18:20i'd probably fall apart myself
18:23that's understandable
18:24i mean anita has always been like a mother to you
18:30if that happens
18:32i'll be here to put you back together
18:35danny tested positive for that broca gene
18:37i had a stroke which puts me at risk for all sorts of issues
18:40and not to mention that weird blood test that's reminding me that
18:42things can change at any time
18:47as much as i hate to admit it
18:50i'm already vulnerable
18:52you know i may not be here for the kids i already have
18:56not to mention a brand new human you and i could bring into the world
19:00what are you saying
19:02with all this to consider
19:05i'm not sure i want to have another child anymore
19:11is this the female client you mentioned before
19:14the one whose case hayley got billed to do pro bono
19:17same one
19:18and he got the charges dropped
19:21but i just can't
19:23shake the suspicion that there's more to her story than she's letting on
19:27what's bothering you about it
19:28whenever you're prepping a defense
19:30the first step is a background check
19:32usually that report would show
19:34former addresses
19:36jobs
19:36schools
19:37outstanding debt
19:38things like that
19:39and hers
19:39her client report came back showing hardly anything
19:43a birth certificate
19:44a single job
19:45in her entire employment history
19:47is it possible she's only ever worked and lived in one place
19:51maybe but
19:52we also run checks on a client's digital footprint
19:55usually that'll turn up
19:56website subscriptions
19:58several social media accounts
20:00but this woman
20:00one account
20:01with a couple of posts
20:03that is weird
20:04i don't know anybody who's that far off the grid
20:07you don't think i'm overreacting
20:09not at all
20:11i've heard enough crime podcasts to know
20:14nobody's spotless unless they're hiding something
20:16she probably had a completely different identity before coming to you
20:22i had fun the other night
20:24is that all i am
20:25just
20:27fun
20:29what do you want me to say
20:31i had the thrill of my life
20:33that you rocked my world
20:37that my body remembers
20:39still how you made it feel
20:41you're hot
20:42you're hot
20:42we fit
20:46me too
20:51but then on the other hand
20:52wasn't it you who just said
20:54what was it
20:54that you were immune to me
20:56and then out of the blue
20:57you want to start showing public displays of affection
21:00so what happened lover
21:03what can i say
21:04people get urges
21:05right
21:05so it was just a simple what
21:07biological reaction
21:09nothing more
21:10nothing less
21:11come on randy
21:12i know when you're working an angle
21:14either you tell me now
21:16or i find out
21:18i'll make you pay for it
21:20do you really expect me to believe my logical type a firstborn daughter will let things fall apart if i
21:28don't die the way she wants
21:30i need her
21:31not for one second will i entertain the thought that you will let this family down because you're not getting
21:36your way
21:37not getting our way
21:38you're the one being selfish
21:40danny
21:40no no you would deprive us of what could be decades more time with you because you're having a rough
21:45week
21:46and what happens if the cancer comes back
21:49or if this chemo doesn't even work
21:52or that the next round breaks me down even more
21:57you want to see your mother wither away to the place where you're feeding me and clothing me and bathing
22:03me and
22:03is that what you want for your mother
22:05i said in sickness and in health and i meant every word
22:10vernon this isn't
22:11if if she stopped could she resume chemo again
22:15yes
22:17but this is an aggressive cancer which requires an aggressive treatment
22:22with every session you miss mother it becomes more likely that the cancer will spread
22:32i know you all don't agree with me
22:35and that's fine
22:38but i hope
22:40one day you'll understand
22:43why i can't keep letting them
22:46pump that dreadful chemical into my body
22:58what do you think about joshua tree
23:01nothing but open sky and beautiful desert for miles
23:03imagine us cozying up in a sleeping bag looking up at the night stars huh
23:11let me make sure i'm understanding correctly because it sounds like you're suggesting camping
23:16you want me
23:17you want me shaniece to sleep on the ground with dirt and bugs
23:22you know they do have
23:23these things called
23:24tents
23:25ted i don't even like birds
23:27now you want me to be on first name basis with crawly nature
23:31okay what would you prefer
23:35miami baby south beach we can get like an ocean view suite hit the strip
23:42soak up some sun
23:43dance till sunrise
23:46you mean like a tourist trap
23:48i'm sorry is that too low brow for your taste
23:52i will have you know i love a good old tacky touristy trip
23:57you and a bikini you know that gets my attention
24:02so you're giving up on us having a baby
24:05it's not like i don't love the idea of making a bill jr or even an adorable mini haley but
24:12you know i'd want to give them the world but if i'm not around you could end up raising our
24:16kid
24:16alone listen i've had fears and doubts about getting pregnant again you know what
24:25this isn't a decision we have to make today okay yeah thanks for being so understanding
24:34yeah when you've had time to sit with this
24:37mm-hmm we'll revisit it but only when you're ready okay
24:51women love questioning a good thing there's nothing going on here except soul-snatching sex
24:58it's been a while and the caliber of women that come into the casino are not exactly checking for
25:04to hire and help you feel me is that your roundabout way of saying that you're lonely i am
25:10and it it took a while for me to own it but there is still something about you
25:18and after all this time having you back just let me let me stop you before you put a flower
25:22in my hair
25:25you see that empty glass over there it wasn't me pre-gaming it was me and hayley catching up
25:32and you and i both know how loose lip she gets when that look at your sister
25:38so i'm gonna give you one more chance to admit what's going on
25:46seems you can't think of one good reason to keep up the good fight so i'm gonna name a few
25:53at first your granddaughter's wedding chelsea will be the picture of perfection and i know you want
26:02to be there to choose her gown and to see chelsea and madison share their first dance
26:07not to mention getting all the juicy gossip from chelsea's messy influencer friends
26:13you really want her to start that next phase of her life without the presence of her grandmother
26:18and then there's all that work you did for samantha and her debut
26:22i know for a fact you don't want to miss seeing her get crowned platinum deb in front of anastasia
26:27and
26:27her granddaughter she goes by chessie now reminds me a little rat
26:32soon after tyrell his graduation college choosing a major pledging and my anniversary
26:42andre and i are throwing the hottest party fairmont crest has ever seen we might even bring down jilly from
26:48philly you may think it's finished but there are many more chapters in the book of debris
27:01don't you want to see what happens next
27:07do you think that maybe she's been lying about who she is this entire time was the case serious
27:14serious enough that a conviction would have meant multiple years in prison yeah was it lynette wise
27:20embezzlement can't confirm privileged well let's just say i'm right since i usually am what does bill
27:30think i showed him that barely anything came up in our due diligence he just shrugged it off and said
27:37that happens occasionally after that he got the charges dropped why would he do that apparently
27:45it was a request from hayley since this client was with her when she was mugged hayley felt like she

30:11it to her she can't sign it well if there isn't a signature it's not valid danielle no mother no
30:28give it to me
30:38it's okay we just have to trust that your mother is making the right decision for herself
30:47even if it breaks all our hearts the best decision ever made was marrying me thank you for the beautiful
30:56life you gave me
31:13oh
31:28Look, I got things going on, so what does your highness need now?
31:31Okay, newsflash.
31:33Now, this gonna sound crazy, but I am so grateful for Danny.
31:39Thanks to those airhead daughters she gave him and her crappy DNA,
31:43Bill no longer wants me to push out his big-ass baby.
31:48Okay, as if you could actually do that.
31:50You still sneaking the pill?
31:51Of course.
31:53You still hooking out with Lynette?
31:54Yeah. She told me a little notice would have been nice.
31:59What did you expect I was gonna do?
32:00I told you I would keep Lynette in check, and she's hell-bent on staying in town,
32:06so this way I get to stay in her head and her bed.
32:10So pillow talk espionage is your grand plan?
32:13But Lynette ain't dumb. She's more suspicious now than ever.
32:18And what's this about you going to church?
32:20Never mind that.
32:21Look, she tried to trick me by implying that you got tipsy and let our plans slip.
32:27The fact that she's still questioning us after getting everything she wants only means one thing.
32:33You're right.
32:35She's a threat.
32:37And now that the U.S. Attorney is no longer pursuing the case, I'm expected to just move on.
32:44Speaking from personal experience, that's difficult when you know someone isn't being held responsible for their crimes.
32:51Hmm. Feels like I've been played.
32:55So what are you gonna do?
32:58Not sure.
32:59But I know I want the full story.
33:02So you seriously rather spend the night with lions, tigers, and bears than room service and functional bathrooms?
33:09Okay, how about we meet in the middle?
33:11Have you ever heard of glamping?
33:14You would think all of the years of me rejecting his camping idea would have made an impression.
33:20Ted, not all women think that roughing it in the wilderness is fun.
33:24See? She gets it.
33:26We all have our own definitions of R&R.
33:31Mother told me that she had a chat with you.
33:34Ah, yes. She gave me the push I needed.
33:37Although I didn't love how it came about.
33:41Janice, I know you're aware of the decision my mother was facing.
33:45I'm happy to relay that she has changed her mind.
33:49She is gonna keep fighting for her life.
33:51Hopefully we have her around for many, many years to come.
33:55All right.
34:00What are you doing here?
34:01I got your text.
34:03Figured I'd come in person to tell you mom's doing better.
34:05Oh, okay. Good.
34:07Thanks for the update, but you could have just called.
34:11Today was hard.
34:13And after I talked, I figured you were the right person to come to.
34:19You know, mother's always been this pillar of strength.
34:23Even in hard times, she's maintained composure.
34:27She stood tall, leaned on her principles.
34:32But today, she wanted to give up.
34:38She wanted to quit chemo and let whatever would happen, happen.
34:44I'm trying to convince her to stay with us.
34:47I'm glad you did.
34:51I mean, this whole thing has got me in some sort of existential crisis, too.
34:57In what way?
35:00No.
35:02Hayley and I have been, you know, talking about trying for a baby.
35:06But I'm having second thoughts.
35:07It's, you know, it hit home that I might not even be around to raise him or her.
35:13So now you have an upset wife on top of everything else?
35:16No, no.
35:17Actually, she was surprisingly understanding.
35:21She sees how affected I am by Anita's condition.
35:25She knows, like everyone else, your mother's one in a million.
35:29You fight dirty, getting the girls to remind me of all the things I have to look forward to.
35:37It was a by any means necessary situation.
35:41I've always been able to find the silver lining, to see the glasses half full.
35:48You've met a new version of yourself today.
35:51This illness is changing me.
35:55And the pain will come back.
35:58And we'll do whatever it takes to make you comfortable as you fight this.
36:03Okay.
36:06Thank you for not giving up.
