00:03¡Gracias por ver!
00:30Joey has already figured us out. Bill won't be too far behind.
00:33Okay, chill out.
00:34We need to kill Bill already and get the hell out before he can ruin us.
00:42Man, I've never been so happy to get a text from an unknown number.
00:48It's not proof of life until you hug your big brother.
00:51Tell mom I'm okay.
00:53I shouldn't leave you in your face right now.
00:55I thought I was being a good son, but I was fumbling.
00:58Asking Naomi to set up a call for you and Ma was not the move.
01:01You meant well. Naomi'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.
01:12I was out of step.
01:13Pretty usual.
01:14That's not true, bro.
01:16Ma, you know I'm the reason we're one blue blood shy of our own CBS cop show.
01:20Okay, now that's true.
01:21But seriously, Isaiah, we're good.
01:24Any idea how much longer?
01:27I'm closer.
01:28No one wants this wrapped up more than I do.
01:30Yeah, I know you're missing Naomi.
01:31Especially today.
01:40Happy anniversary, Naomi.
01:42Happy anniversary, Jacob.
01:54Hey.
01:55Hi.
01:56How are you holding up?
01:58For better.
01:59After last night.
02:01Oh, Jacob came home?
02:02I went to him.
02:04The no-tell motel.
02:05So hot it's like out of a movie.
02:07Yeah, cheap, tacky movie maybe.
02:10But all that washes away when I see him.
02:14Well, please tell me it won't be so long until the next time.
02:17It's day by day.
02:19And right now, he's on standby.
02:22They, God, whoever they are, want him at the ready.
02:27What?
02:28Jacob can't tell me.
02:30I mean, we've kept cases from each other before, but this is different.
02:34Please, no pity today.
02:37Hey.
02:39How's your presence?
02:41What?
02:48Ashley, you did not keep our wedding favors from all these years.
02:53No, no.
02:54I gobbled up those troubles even before you threw the bouquet.
02:56But I went to the same confectioner with a picture and...
03:01Ashley.
03:03Ugh.
03:03I thought I could make it through this day without crying.
03:07Happy anniversary, Naomi.
03:08Mommy.
03:41¡Gracias!
04:37¡Gracias!
04:38You would have found a way
04:40Or we might never have happened if it weren't for you, bestie
04:44I'm done
04:45I'm way too cute and way too accomplished to be waiting around for Hottie Cop
04:49You are so not done
04:51And besides, Hottie Cop made the first move
04:55Yeah, and ever since I did not give him my number at the coffee shop, he got gun shy
05:00He'll flirt with me all he wants to at the courthouse, but he won't pull the trigger
05:05And today, I literally said I'd give him my number if he promised to use it, and he bolted
05:11But get this, you know that cute bailiff
05:14Hmm, JT, oh, he is gorgeous
05:18He overheard, and he offered himself up
05:20Said he'd worship those digits and the goddess who gave them
05:24Okay, mega points for JT
05:28Yeah, he wants to take me to a monster truck rally
05:33You snob
05:34You know what, next time you see JT, you give him my number because I'm gonna go places
05:38Yeah, to Paris, not the Manassas truck pole
05:43Yeah
05:44And there's something about Hottie Cop
05:47Hmm, the fact that he's hot
05:50And he hasn't once asked me what my sign is
05:53He's funny, and I just have to let it go
05:57Or you can make Hottie Cop's day
06:00You could ask him out
06:02Yeah, and when he turns me down, I'll have to look at him on the daily
06:05And when I'm right, and you two fall madly in love, I'll buy you a coffee
06:11I hope you win the love of your life, and all I get is a latte
06:14Yeah, that's nowhere near enough
06:17Thank you
06:18I'm getting you a cookie too
06:19Okay
06:25So how come you had time to see me, and not your wife?
06:29I'm kind of on call today
06:30I don't want to bring Naomi here, I have to bail
06:33If you're hitting the home stretch, you want her nowhere near
06:37Can I jump in with a little brotherly support?
06:40Uh-oh, college man's about to start philosophizing
06:43Did you boys ever say anything about lovers separated by crime solving?
06:46You know, it actually goes with bell hooks
06:48When we choose love, we choose to move against fear
06:52Damn, man
06:53Let me get your new girlfriend inspired with that
06:56Maybe
06:57Did Pop say anything?
06:58Just that Ma and Eva had their own very special meet the parent moment
07:02You know Darlene Hawthorne don't play
07:04She probably thought I was showing up with a debutante like you did
07:06But Eva is so not that
07:08And so right for me
07:10You rewriting history?
07:11Ma didn't like Naomi either
07:14But none of that mattered to me
07:17From what I remember, you said you showed up with your Issa Rae with a law degree
07:20How could anyone in our fam have a problem with that?
07:23Yeah, right, man, try me
07:24Her last name alone was almost a red flag
07:28I can't believe you know Orphie Jeans
07:30How many times have we been in the same room without knowing it?
07:33Trust me, if we were in the same room, I would have noticed
07:40You know, we just found out that you were at the same Issa concert as me last month
07:45You know, now that I think about it, I did feel very handsome that night
07:48Was that you?
07:51Like a buddy of mine, Moonlight's had a dive bar over on the wharf
07:54And she likes to drop in sometimes, so maybe we could...
07:57Hmm, I wonder if JT likes her too
08:02The bailiff?
08:04Okay, fine
08:05I deserve that
08:07I should have asked you out
08:08And you still didn't
08:09I asked you
08:11Well, you're the one who curbed me at that bougie coffee shop over on Marshall
08:14Wait, that is not fair
08:16We had never said a word to each other
08:18I wasn't gonna give my number to some stranger just because he was a cop
08:22This was different
08:23Fine
08:25But look, you know you're fine
08:27And you're brilliant
08:29And my ego can handle both, but you're also a Dupree
08:33But you can't handle that?
08:35It's not about what I can handle
08:36It's about what your family name means
08:40Black American royalty
08:41Being a Dupree isn't what you think it is
08:44Oh, let me guess, it's better?
08:47Different
08:48We're about blazing our own path
08:50And that path doesn't have to be fancy
08:53Just has to be something good
08:56Something additive
09:00Sounds more like a mission
09:02I don't need the fancy
09:04I've attended balls and I've worn designer clothes
09:07And I'm not knocking it or returning it
09:09But what I want out of life is something good
09:15Inside the courtroom and out
09:18I'm sure you have one hell of a closing argument
09:21You sure this isn't some way station on the way to the White House?
09:24I don't know
09:26I could have taken a place at my dad's firm
09:28Or used my gran's fame to launch a singing career
09:33Wait, you can sing?
09:35Oh, uh-uh
09:36You're not getting to that base yet
09:40I'm a public defender
09:42Not some nepo baby
09:44That's how I do Pree
09:46You know, I want to do the same
09:47To do good
09:49And cop families have a legacy of their own
09:53I'm sorry
09:54Here I am riding you because you're a Dupree
09:57But I'm following in my father's shiny service shoes
10:01Would I still be a cop if it wasn't for pops?
10:04Maybe
10:04Do I think he's my personal superhero?
10:07Absolutely
10:07My family has been friends of the station forever
10:11And they speak highly of the chief
10:13You must be really proud
10:19Oh, shoot
10:20Judge Henson is not a fan of tardiness
10:23Please
10:24Henson's a pussycat
10:25In what universe?
10:27Since he was my scoutmaster
10:29Look, I'll tell him I held you up
10:33You're an actual boy scout?
10:36Let's get you to court, shall we?
10:38Come on
10:39Did he ever show you those married badges?
10:42I helped him earn a few new ones, too
10:44I'm pretty good at earning badges and bad behavior
10:47Well, no wonder Darlene gave you this side eye
10:51I don't think it would have mattered how I behaved
10:53No one was good enough for her boys
10:55When it came to Jacob and his ma
10:58My last name was a strike against me
11:01You know, it's funny
11:02We haven't properly met before
11:04Oh, we met?
11:06You and your sister nearly ran over me
11:08At the police charity ice skating fundraiser
11:10You were dressed like princesses
11:12You were adorable
11:14But it's never too early for home training
11:18My gran would agree
11:20Sounds like good southern manners
11:22Where's she from?
11:24Chicago, originally
11:25My people came from South Carolina
11:28I'm guessing you're not familiar?
11:31Oh, actually, my soar and I
11:33We spent spring break in Mount Pleasant
11:35I was completely southern charmed
11:37By the people and the sunsets
11:39But zip code is nothing but luxury
11:44I'm sure your hometown's lovely
11:47Where are you from?
11:48Where the real people live
11:52Mrs. Hawthorne, I didn't mean to
11:54Oh, I may not have gone to a fancy school
11:57Or been a part of some sorority
11:59But I'm proud
12:02Well, you should be
12:04Being a dispatcher is one of the most
12:06Valued jobs, period
12:08It takes nerves of steel
12:10Which can't be taught
12:11My wife's the woman you want on your side
12:13For any crisis
12:15And not everyone needs college
12:18Indulge me
12:19Who in your circle didn't go to college?
12:22Ma, really?
12:23My mom
12:24And grandmother
12:26Gran made it from
12:28Cabrini Green all the way to the top of the charts
12:30Without stepping on a campus
12:33That's quite a rise
12:34And my mom
12:35She stepped off the runway
12:37To raise us
12:38And help my dad start his firm
12:39You know
12:40Scouting clients
12:41And designing the offices
12:43Behind every good man
12:44There's a woman pulling the strings
12:46Is that what you're planning for our son?
12:50I like Jacob
12:52Just as he is
12:53Thank you, baby
12:55Ma, seriously?
12:57Come on
13:04Hang on, man
13:05I got a tin of this
13:10Listen, man
13:10If you want Eva to stick
13:11She's gonna have to rise above Ma's shade
13:14Noted
13:16All right, man
13:17I'm out of here
13:18Hey, don't be a hero
13:20Or do
13:21Just come home
13:24Hey, man
13:24Can you do me a favor?
13:30Sparkling cider for me
13:31Dr. Ahn suggested
13:33I keep my alcohol count low
13:35For Baraka reasons
13:36Which I have been doing consistently
13:38Every sixth Tuesday of the month
13:39But
13:40Since you didn't inherit the demon DNA
13:42You want real bubbles?
13:45No, I like these bubbles, too
13:47That's fine
13:48Okay
13:49To my perfect baby
13:51And her perfect mate
13:52Happy anniversary
13:55Thanks, Mom
13:58You know, I knew you were always in our corner
14:00From day one
14:02Well, almost
14:03But once in, you were all in
14:06I was just protective
14:07Because I had never seen you crushing so hard
14:09Oh, except when you fell for
14:11What's-his-name?
14:13Um, you encouraged me to run away with what's-his-name
14:16Because I thought you were going to use that voice
14:19That you inherited from your gran to pick up the mic and change the world in that band of his
14:24But you decided to use your voice for other reasons
14:26Yeah
14:27To help those who don't have one
14:30Proud of you
14:31Thanks, Mom
14:32Whatever happened to what's-his-name?
14:35He's still backing big bands and on the road
14:38And you are exactly where
14:40And with exactly whom you belong
14:43Yeah
14:44I just needed you to make the case
14:47Okay
14:48Be brutal
14:50It's flawless
14:51Why are you doubting?
14:53After Winterfest dress gate last year?
14:55Your father waited until we got home to imply that my outfit was a hot mess
15:00Well, Amy, you were just too hot, period
15:02That was rude
15:03Okay, my lawyer daughter
15:05Just tell me if I need to be protected from this dress
15:08Trust your sartorial gut
15:10Not Dad's
15:12And speaking of my personal protective detail at Winterfest
15:16I need an extra ticket
15:19For Jacob
15:21Someone is leveling up
15:23Does he know that showing up on your arm means something to the family?
15:27To society?
15:28If the Fairmount Crest ladies need something to gossip about
15:32They should be kiki-ing over Jacob and me
15:36Cohabitating
15:39Well, he's at my place where I'm at his every night
15:43Don't act like this decision is being made from up here
15:46When we both know it is
15:47Coming from a place that's much lower
15:49Mom
15:50Your heart
15:52Dirty girl
15:54You said that you wouldn't take this step unless you were sure
15:59Well, Mom
16:00I love him
16:03And he loves me
16:08Parents always want the next generation to have it better
16:11And I gotta say, my girls are killing it
16:14Jacob is such a good man
16:16He's never disrespectful
16:17Boy was raised right
16:18Mm-hmm
16:19Whatever Elon and Darlene did
16:21Their boys show up for their women
16:24You got a different set of skills from your father
16:27Such as?
16:28How to make a deal
16:29Do you remember when you moved in with Jacob?
16:32You had those plans more laid than some people's edges
16:35You even mapped out proper plate placement in the dishwasher
16:39Okay, first of all, I learned a lot from my supermodel mom
16:42And I thought prepping would keep the nerves at bay
16:45Did it work?
16:47Not even a little
16:49Why did this pizza hit different in a new apartment?
16:53Babe, you have another sauce on your...
16:55Hmm?
16:55Where?
16:56No, no, no, I'm not there
16:57Here?
17:03Mm-hmm
17:03Mm-hmm
17:07Here, let me take that
17:10The air mattress
17:11Okay, we'll bring this back to your mom as soon as our furniture arrives tomorrow, okay?
17:15Yeah, make sure you thank her for us
17:16Sure
17:21I'm trying to make me that full light
17:22I know
17:24Can I stay and help you unpack?
17:26Mm-hmm
17:29Oh, he's not wasting any time
17:31You know what?
17:32I'm gonna leave you two to, uh...
17:35Christen?
17:36No, please stay
17:37You can be our first dinner guest
17:40Oh, I am
17:40Mm-hmm
17:41It's one of those soft top mattresses
17:43Nice
17:43Well, duh
17:44Miss private school here hasn't even ever slept on an air mattress
17:47Oh, wait, that is not true
17:49I was the queen of sleepovers
17:52I felt like I was Raven-Symona and Princess Diaries, too
17:54Mm-hmm
17:55The princess sleepover when she and Julie Andrews sing
17:58Yeah
17:58And then they slide down that massive ramp into a pile of mattresses and pillows
18:03You don't know what we're talking about
18:04I don't, but I'm sure this is gonna be even better
18:06Because you're here now
18:09Yep
18:11Well, my work here is done
18:13Bye
18:14Bye
18:18You want another slice?
18:20Uh, I think I want to test out that air mattress
18:24Mm-hmm, okay
18:26Not so fast
18:49Do you remember when the reverend was supposed to say
18:51Who gives this woman to this man and he left it out?
18:54Yeah, I thought he just got nervous and forgot
18:58It was your dad fathering
19:01He thought it was barbaric
19:03Oh, that is so funny
19:05Because I told Jacob he couldn't ask dad for my hand
19:08Because it would be an affront to my agency
19:11Oh, poor Jacob
19:13Caught between two very stubborn Hamiltons
19:16Not the way your detective handled it
19:17Or would have handled it
19:20Mom?
19:21Mm-hmm
19:22What does that mean?
19:24What?
19:25Mom
19:27Did Jacob circle back and ask dad for his secret blessing?
19:32No
19:33He asked for mine
19:34You want a scotch?
19:37Well, at least sit down
19:42Is Naomi okay?
19:43I just wanted to let you know
19:45What an incredible woman you've raised
19:48Didn't do it myself
19:50I know she loves her dad
19:52But I'm here to talk to you
19:55Naomi and Chelsea, they're
19:57They're a testament to you
19:58Their ambition
20:00Their generosity
20:01Their kindness
20:04And I want to let you know
20:06That I'll only be additive to that equation
20:11Whatever dreams Naomi has
20:12And wants to pursue
20:14I'll champion
20:17I'll never stand in her way
20:20I wouldn't imagine anything different
20:22Okay
20:23So did you two have a fight?
20:26Don't tell me you stepped out on my daughter
20:27No, no, no, no, no
20:28Of course not
20:29Then what's with all the hopes and dreams, Jacob?
20:32Well
20:33I want to make Naomi's come true
20:35And mine
20:39Wait
20:40Sorry, sorry
20:43Okay
20:45I'd like to ask for your daughter's hand
20:50Of course
20:52Yes, Jacob
20:56Welcome to the family, baby
20:59Why tell me now?
21:01I thought you needed to hear
21:02How wonderful Jacob is today
21:05Unless you don't think it's wonderful
21:06No, it was
21:08And he is
21:10Jacob wanted you to know
21:12That he was offering me a future
21:13Where he never, ever
21:15Took anything away from me
21:16Like
21:17Like your dad took from me
21:21Your man kept his word
21:24You knew before anyone else
21:25That I was getting married
21:26And you actually kept the secret
21:28All this time
21:29And I helped plan the proposal
21:31Even though you did everything in your power
21:33To blow it up
21:38Babe
21:42Look, I know it's just Ashley
21:43But you gotta throw in a dress
21:45Ugh
21:45I already begged off
21:47I had an awful day in court
21:48Well, maybe talking it through with your best friend
21:50Will help
21:51I just want to curl up with my man
21:54And the second season of our show
21:56And what about Ashley?
21:58Well, she's already seen season two
22:01Okay, baby, listen
22:04You said you didn't want to be one of those women
22:06Who gets into a relationship and avoids her friends, right?
22:09Besides, Ashley doesn't want you to start telling her things
22:12Like how much of an asshat Judge Faraday was this morning
22:15No
22:15Come on
22:16Let go
22:18Listen, part of being a bestie
22:20Is the freedom to say you're too tie-tie
22:22And part of being a girlfriend
22:24Is knowing when her boyfriend is being totally sus
22:27Okay, well, did it ever occur to you
22:29That I just might have plans myself?
22:32No, because we share that adorable eye cow
22:34Well, I didn't put it in the adorable eye cow
22:37Well, then, by all means
22:38If you have someplace to be
22:40Don't let me stop you
22:41Jeez
22:41You know what?
22:44Fine
22:55Jacob
22:56Just relax
23:01Have you lost your damn mind?
23:05Yeah
23:13You want to know what my plan was?
23:20I'm supposed to be wearing a tux right now at Brookside Gardens
23:24The sun coming down behind me
23:26Lighting you up as you're walking on a path
23:28Strewn with yellow roses
23:30Your favorite
23:33And there I am
23:34Standing there
23:35Waiting for you
23:36All while this song is playing
23:38But I guess now we'll have to improvise
23:41Jacob
23:43Naomi Hamilton
23:44I've never met anyone more infuriating
23:47More stubborn
23:50And more beautiful than you
23:53And I know this isn't what I planned
23:55But I couldn't wait another minute without asking you this question
24:01Naomi, you caught me by surprise
24:04I had this whole plan laid out for my life
24:07I was good
24:09But the second I laid my eyes on you
24:11You blew all that up
24:13I had to talk to you
24:15I had to hear your voice
24:17And as soon as I met you
24:18I realized you were more than I could ever have imagined for myself
24:22More than anything I could dream of
24:25More than the poets and the writers and the singers could ever say
24:29You were prettier
24:31Kinder
24:31Brighter
24:32Smarter
24:34And somehow
24:35You liked me too
24:38More than liked me
24:40I couldn't fathom how somebody like you could choose me
24:44But you did
24:45And you continued to choose me
24:46Each and every day
24:47Naomi, you came along and blew my heart wide open
24:51I love you more than anything in this world, baby
24:55I love you too
24:57Do you choose me now?
25:00Do you choose me forever?
25:03Naomi Hamilton
25:05Will you marry me?
25:12Yes, I will marry you
25:14Okay
25:14Oh, I did that backwards, didn't I?
25:16No, it's okay
25:17It still counts
25:17It still counts
25:21I love it
25:23Yeah, my mom gave me my grandmother's necklace
25:25And I melted it down and added that stone
25:28I've never seen anything like it
25:31Wait
25:32Your mom knows
25:33Which means
25:34My mom has to know
25:35Which means
25:35And Ashley and Chelsea
25:37Baby, relax
25:38Everybody's in your mom and dad's living room
25:40Right now waiting with champagne
25:42And Ashley too
25:44Oh no, she's actually at the park with her phone
25:46Waiting to capture the moment
25:47I was just about to text her
25:48All right, I'm calling her
25:49All right, well do it while you get dressed
25:54No
25:55No, no, no
25:56Jacob Hawthorne
25:57You did not propose to me with my bonnet on
25:59Baby, you've never been more beautiful
26:03Well, if you didn't love him already
26:05That proposal would have clinched it
26:07Oh, the heart and timing on that boy
26:09I swear he could have been a poet
26:11Or a lead in a rom-com
26:13No
26:14My man was born to be a detective
26:16Cracked in cases
26:17Like he cracked you
26:19I couldn't ever imagine someone getting past these walls
26:24Let alone setting up permanent residence
26:30This mystery training
26:32Means your husband stepping it up as a detective, doesn't it?
26:37Jacob pledged he'd never hold me back from my dreams
26:41So how can I hold him back from his?
26:43Doesn't mean it's easy being the one sitting by the phone, Naomi
26:47But isn't that what love is?
26:49You know, supporting your person as they become who they're meant to be?
26:55My wise girl
26:59I didn't know that my first go-round
27:02But I know it this time with Andre
27:05Maybe I learned it from the two of you
27:12Why don't you just stay over?
27:15You're trying to keep me from my wedding albums
27:18I know you stole the tradition from the Grams
27:20But it can wait until-
27:22It's how we remember where we've been
27:23And to think about where we're going
27:26There's another reason you should look at those pictures
27:28And what's that?
27:30So you can remember who was at your wedding
27:32Because that day, you two only had eyes for each other
27:37Guilty as charged
27:38You said I opened your heart
27:41But I was the one stumbling around, closed off
27:46Emotions aren't my first language
27:49But with you, the words just came, tumbling
27:54And part of me wondered if I said too much
27:57Naomi
28:00But there you were, just receiving
28:03Making me feel protected
28:07And seen
28:09And heard
28:12We made this place
28:14A place where the love goes both ways
28:18Jacob Hawthorne, you are my safe place
28:23You are my happy place
28:26You're my whole heart
28:28I vow to spend the rest of my life
28:31Making sure you feel just as safe and happy
28:35As we search for new joys each and every day
28:39Naomi
28:41A partner is steadfast
28:43He communicates his needs
28:46And anticipates yours
28:48He has integrity
28:51If it gets tough
28:52Or if things go haywire
28:54He always has your back
28:57I promise to give you my heart
29:00Jacob
29:01I didn't know life could be this full
29:04I didn't know this level of happiness existed
29:08It's always you, Naomi Hamilton
29:11I pledge myself to you today
29:14Tomorrow
29:15And forever
29:17And I now pronounce you husband and wife
29:20Jacob
29:21You may kiss your bride
29:30Take care of my girl now
29:31Baby
29:32It was so beautiful
29:34I will, sir
29:34I'm so happy, mom
29:36I can see that
29:37Aw
29:39Looking sharp
29:40Pops
29:40Yeah
29:42Nice sneaks
29:44I'm here, you know
29:45Less formal than the cater waiters
29:48The groom's not noticing my footwear
29:51Maybe
29:52But he couldn't miss that you opted out of standing by him today
29:55Because you wouldn't wear a monkey suit
29:58Why would you deprive your mother of seeing her sons line up together in the pictures
30:02You're almost like a real family
30:03Huh
30:04But one of these things is not like the other
30:07So this is payback
30:09For calling you out on things that you should be embarrassed about
30:13You think I didn't want to stand up for Jacob
30:16No, I just couldn't stand you
30:19You're a heat-seeking missile targeting every which way at its point
30:22You're up to snake fits
30:23All you had to do was be a man for once
30:25What the hell with that
30:27And with you
30:29Turn your back on your back
30:30Get off me
30:32This is not how Hawthorne's behave
30:36Jacob deserved one day
30:39One
30:41I'm so sorry that my son bought his insolence
30:45Son, this is not that kind of party
30:48This is a family matter
30:50Well, we're all family now
30:52You want to talk to me, Isaiah?
30:55I'm not exactly feeling the love
30:57I'm out
30:58Oh, stay
31:00Think of your brother
31:02I am
31:03I am
31:04Okay, he doesn't need to see this
31:08Isaiah
31:08No, no
31:09Let his ass go
31:13He doesn't belong
31:22I'm late, bro
31:23But happy to suit up now
31:32I just wanted to see how you're doing
31:35Listen
31:38I've kept my mouth shut
31:40But this so-called training that Jacob is doing
31:43I don't
31:43Where was this father-in-law concern
31:46When you convinced Jacob to arrest Mom?
31:49Naomi
31:50You know what you asked of him?
31:52Sent Jacob and me spinning
31:54While you moved forward with your honeymoon plans
31:57No, you knew better than anyone how I feel about my father
32:00And what he did to my mother
32:01And then you
32:02Did my job
32:03You executed his sneak attack
32:05That's what you did
32:06How do you expect me to trust you after that?
32:09Because right now, I don't recognize the man that I married
32:13I should have made a different call
32:16Naomi
32:17I know something can fester between a couple
32:19Okay?
32:20And if mistakes were made
32:22Jacob and I aren't you and Mom
32:25Pro tip
32:26Sleeping with your daughter's best friends
32:29It's not great for marital health
32:32I 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
32:38But Jacob was the one to force the issue until it wasn't an issue anymore
32:45He is lovingly relentless
32:47When we got married, I meant every word of my vows
32:51I did too
32:53For better or for worse, right?
32:55Along with all those other things
32:57We're supposed to be there for each other through the good and the bad
33:00The hard and the easy
33:03The day I put this ring on your finger
33:05I signed up for the full ride
33:09That's all I know
33:13That's all I know
33:15Me too
33:18Jacob's not making an excuse to stay away
33:20Okay?
33:22We are missing each other like crazy right now
33:29I know I came down hard on you
33:31But I'm glad you stopped by
33:33Well, I can be lovingly relentless too
33:36Sweetheart, you know your wedding is still my pinnacle
33:39Not either of your own?
33:40No
33:40Not too many nerves at the first one
33:42Too many bullets at the second
33:44All compliments of your mother
33:47No, no
33:47I shouldn't laugh
33:50I've said my piece
33:51When you tell Jacob that his favorite father-in-law sends his regards
33:54Okay?
33:56I will
33:56Bye
33:57Bye
33:59Bye, Dad
33:59Bye
34:20Jacob
34:40I hope you're reading this wearing my t-shirt and your bonnet
34:44You know how much that gets me going
34:47Everything came at us this year
34:49And kept coming
34:51When we said I do
34:52We were so sure we could love our way through whatever
34:56But now we've lived it
34:57And proved it
34:59And we should be honoring it right now
35:01We should be looking at our wedding album
35:04Curled up on the couch with that bottle of wine we've been saving
35:08But I promise, baby
35:10We'll make it all up
35:12Maybe we finally use our trip to Mexico
35:15You know what, no
35:16No more maybes
35:18We will soon
35:21And now
35:22I need you to tap into your imagination
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
35:42And you can imagine all that comes next
35:45Well, not that part
35:47The part where I tell you I love you
35:50I love you, Naomi
35:52Just keep imagining it until I can wrap my arms around you for real
35:55Because that's where we are, baby
35:58We're the realest thing in the whole world
36:03I need you, I need you now
36:09I need you, I need you to show me how
36:16I need you, I need you now
36:23I need you, I need you, I need you
