00:09y aquÃ, yo pensé que Smitty era el escritor de esta familia
00:15¿Qué es este nuevo proyecto, ¿eh?
00:18¿Scafing tell-all de tu vida y de los años
00:21como la música icono-tornada de la familia matriarca?
00:26Sweetheart, if I ever write a book, it will most certainly be a romance novel
00:32Inspired by our epic love affair
00:38Congressional race neck and neck
00:41Yeah, I don't think so
00:46Hey, Samantha, where are you?
00:49Just got to Orphe jeans. I had Cotillion dance rehearsal today, remember? It just let out
00:54Oh, right, right
00:56Donnell and I are going to have lunch, hope that's okay
00:59That's fine, just make sure you eat something healthy
01:01You know it, my dress fits perfectly now, so I'm not risking it
01:06No, that's not what I...
01:08Tyrell and Jessica, are they going to meet you?
01:11They stayed behind at the club to get in more practice time
01:13You know your son's a klutz
01:16Have fun, give Donnell my best
01:18I will, thanks, Pop
01:20Kids done with their dance lessons?
01:21They are, and according to Samantha, Tyrell is still struggling with his two left feet
01:27Ah, so he takes after you
01:30I beg your pardon? I have the rhythm and moves when and where it counts
01:34That you do. You'll get no complaint from me in the bedroom
01:38Hmm
01:42Do you have time for lunch?
01:44That depends. Are you going to make your famous shrimp quesadillas with that sweet sauce?
01:48You know it
01:49Then, yeah, I do
01:59Or, change of plans
02:17I know it
02:34¡Gracias!
03:02Yeah, they've been hanging out for a year or so
03:05But get this, she didn't even want to do Cotillion at first
03:09Now she's a little bit more into it
03:11My grandma had a long talk with her about its importance to our community
03:17Well, hey, you two
03:18Hey, June, you remember Donnell, my escort for the Cotillion?
03:23We just got out of practice
03:24Yes, I do, it's good to see you again
03:28Now, what are you guys up to?
03:31We're just clowning on Tyrell
03:34You can do it, nobody else can
03:37Oh, you don't have to worry about your son holding his own
03:39Tyrell serves it right back, reminding me I'm old and rusty
03:43You're not that old
03:46Shall we start with some lemonades?
03:48Works for me
03:50Lemonade's good, and I know it's lunchtime, but I'm still in the mood for breakfast
03:53Yeah, we did start rehearsals pretty early
03:56Well, good thing for you, we serve breakfast all day
03:59Uh, is the oatmeal still cut?
04:02Now how do I know that?
04:03Oatmeal is oatmeal
04:04This ain't the Fairmont Crest Country Club
04:06I'll just take bacon and eggs over medium with toast, please
04:10There you go
04:11Now what about you, Samantha?
04:13What I really want is a pecan waffle, scrambled eggs with cheese, and a side of home fries
04:20But I'm trying to keep it light, so maybe just a veggie omelet?
04:25Mm-hmm, got you covered
04:28Coming right up
04:39Do I need to get you a fidget spinner?
04:42Maybe
04:44Why are you so nervous?
04:45I can't help it
04:47It's just lunch with my ma
04:48What's the big deal?
04:50After last time, you cannot seriously be asking me that
04:53I didn't exactly make the best first impression
04:55I don't think she was judging you
04:58You want to bet?
04:59What if she already made it up in her mind that she doesn't like me?
05:02Baby, relax
05:04Okay, she's gonna be just as crazy about you as I am
05:07Trust me
05:17You used to never be able to resist a little afternoon delight
05:21You know I can hardly resist you, Smitty
05:23Morning, noon, evening
05:25You know that, but
05:27We can't right now
05:28Don't you have a story you're working on?
05:30Who knows when we are gonna be alone again?
05:34No kids
05:35No pressing campaign engagements
05:38No deadlines
05:41Why don't we
05:43Make the most of it?
05:47What's all this?
05:49Oh, catching up on the latest proposals for the Dupree Heritage Foundation
05:53Oh, no
05:54If it can help take your mind off of illness, it gets two thumbs up from me
06:00You know what I find extraordinarily attractive?
06:04Please, inform me
06:06You
06:08Oh
06:10Do elaborate
06:11You encouraging me to reclaim my life
06:16Let's explore that
06:19All right, all right
06:21Enough of that, you two
06:23Your youngest daughter is in crisis and desperately needs your help
06:31For real, there's nothing to be freaked out about
06:33Okay, my mom is cool
06:34You've said that so many times, but last time
06:37Look, once the two of you guys really get to know each other
06:40I promise you you'll be like best friends
06:46Looks like we're about to see if your theory holds up
06:54Just in case you changed your mind
06:57And don't you worry, the waffle's on the house
06:59That's impressive you were able to carry all that by yourself
07:02Well, I guess it's true what they say
07:03Practice makes perfect
07:05Not in Tyrell's case
07:06We've been rehearsing dances and walks for months now
07:09Grant even helps
07:11And he is utterly hopeless on the ballroom floor
07:14I'm saying like
07:19Samantha, now why do you keep giving your brother a hard time?
07:23I'm just teasing
07:24It's what we do
07:25Deanna and I used to do this all the time when we were kids
07:27It's all in sibling fun
07:29Hmm, funny thing is
07:31I didn't have much rhythm either growing up
07:33Regina was the one blessed in that department
07:35But you know what made up for it?
07:37My confidence
07:38And the fact that I'd smack anyone who dared to laugh in my face
07:43It's a good thing I'm a mature adult now
07:45Oh shoot, I forgot your serve
07:47I'll be right back, okay?
07:53See, I don't know what that was
07:54Oh, she's just taken up for Tyrell
07:56I actually think it's really cool
07:58How you guys were able to reconnect after all that time apart
08:01You know the story?
08:03Mom told me and Deanna about it
08:05I hope that's okay
08:06Yeah, it's fine
08:07Seeing you two up close, it's inspiring
08:11Thanks, Donnell
08:12I'd be lying if I said it was easy at first
08:15June's a little rough around the edges
08:17But she's also kind and brilliant about life stuff
08:21So it's cool having a mom around
08:23You don't even know
08:25I mean, I'm not dissing my dad or pop or anything
08:28But sometimes our house is so testosterone heavy
08:32There's things that I can only talk about with a woman
08:35I bet
08:36I feel really, really, really lucky
08:39I get to have
08:42June's
08:42My dad's
08:44And the Dupree's
08:45As family
08:46How does that phrase go?
08:48An embarrassment of fridges
08:51Danielle, what's wrong?
08:54Tatum sent over the proofs from the photo shoot
08:57And?
08:58I'm terrified to look at them
09:02Sweetheart, you know how much we're in your corner
09:04But this is your big emergency?
09:07Well, yes
09:08What if they're dreadful?
09:10When have you ever taken a bad photo?
09:13Will you go through them with me?
09:14Well, this is my cue to skedaddle
09:17You're gonna leave me to deal with this crisis alone?
09:20I'm overdue at our grandsons to talk about the campaign
09:24Well, tell Martin and Smitty I said hi
09:26And say as long as you like, Daddy
09:29Stop right there, Vernon Dupree
09:33Something no matter, my love?
09:35You two must think I am Boo Boo the Fool
09:42You're right, Smitty
09:43Maybe we do need to spend a little more alone time together
09:47Maybe we should start building it into our days
09:49Like Shonda does my campaign stops
09:52But it can't be right now
09:53Granddad is gonna be here in a minute
09:56To discuss my re-election
09:58Uh, why did you not say that before?
10:01Because you were so adorable
10:03And when you were trying to get some
10:04It was hard for me to say no
10:06I did get a little carried away
10:08But the truth is, I'm glad you're busy
10:10You saved me from myself
10:12How so?
10:14Well, Martin, one of the biggest stories I've been on in a long time
10:17And I don't want to mess it up
10:18I should get out there and get my head back in the game
10:20So in this afternoon delight situation
10:24You're the tease
10:25I will take the hit
10:35Is everything alright?
10:37Uh, yeah, no, it's just a reminder for an appointment
10:42Well, the shrimp quesadillas are off the table
10:45But you still need to eat
10:49Okay, isn't this ironic?
10:51You telling me to eat for the longest
10:53It was the other way around
10:54You missed that?
10:56Being a stay-at-home dad?
10:57Yeah
10:58Uh, I was happy when I was doing it
11:00And now I'm happy being an investigative journalist again
11:02But I should get going
11:05R.I.P. afternoon delight
11:07Not dead, just rescheduled
11:15Hurry up, Smitty
11:18Come on, come on
11:27What are you talking about, Anita?
11:29You are not as slick as you think you are, Vernon Dupree
11:32I'm on to you
11:34I beg your pardon?
11:36You asked Danny to come over here
11:38And babysit me
11:40What?
11:40Didn't you?
11:41No, no, no
11:42I didn't talk to Daddy
11:43I honestly came by because I wanted your opinion on these pictures
11:46Mm-hmm, baby girl
11:47You can fool some of the people some of the time
11:49But you will never be able to pull the wool over your mother's eyes
11:52Do you hear me?
11:55Okay
11:56Daddy may have suggested, through text
11:58That I come by with an excuse so that he could go to Martin's
12:03Snitch
12:03I'm sorry
12:04You know I always crumble under Mother's death-seeking stare
12:08Don't we all
12:10Listen
12:12I am not a child, you two
12:14And I may have cancer
12:16But I am certainly capable of spending time in this house unsupervised
12:21I know, I know
12:23But I can't help it
12:25I still worry
12:27And after this last episode
12:29It was an infection
12:31I took the antibiotics and now it's over
12:35I'm moving on, why can't the two of you?
12:37Because we all love you to the moon and back
12:40And there's no moving on from that
12:42And I honestly do want your opinion on these pictures
12:45That part of the ruse was true
12:48All right, fine
12:51Go enjoy your time with Martin
12:53Feel free to linger
12:56But we are going to have this discussion later
13:00I can't wait
13:01Mm-hmm
13:04Bye, Daddy
13:05Bye, Snitch
13:12What's your stance on corsages?
13:14My stance?
13:15Love them, hate them, indifferent?
13:18Um, hey Chin, um, I have a question
13:22Uh, for the cotillion, should I wear a corsage?
13:25Do you think that it would look awkward over my gloves?
13:28Or should I pin it on somehow?
13:30Oh, baby, you know I don't know a pansy from a petunia
13:33But I am sure you're going to look beautiful
13:36With or without those fancy flowers
13:38Don't worry
13:40I gotta go check on another table
13:43I'll be back, okay?
13:47Well, you've been an escort plenty of times
13:49What do most girls do?
13:50Uh, nope
13:51I'm not answering that
13:52Why?
13:53Because this is your big night
13:55It's all about what you want
13:56And how you want to present yourself
13:57You get to make the decision
14:00Well, in that case
14:01My stance is that
14:05I feel good about a corsage
14:06And flowers you shall have
14:14Sorry, I couldn't get here sooner
14:16I meant to be parked close by
14:18Smitty, I'm juggling a lot of people, places, and cover stories
14:21Yeah, I had a hard time getting out of the house
14:23It's hard juggling work and family
14:25Cry me a river, alright?
14:26It's been way too long since I woke up next to my wife
14:28So don't even go there
14:32Now, about this woman at the hospital
14:34Yeah
14:35Any luck finding out who she is?
14:37Who Grayson's reporting to?
14:38Nah
14:39But you know what?
14:40That's what I'm expanding my focus on
14:42Is there any chance that she's the number two in this whole operation?
14:46She's still on my radar
14:47And I'm still working, Grayson
14:49But my instincts say she's mid-level at best
14:52I'm casting a wide net with this investigation, Smitty
14:54I need to catch a whale
14:57Or an impaler
15:00Yeah
15:01How was your salmon salad, Mom?
15:03Not as good as the one I fixed at home for your dad and me
15:07The chef here at the club was brought in from a Michelin-starred bistro in France
15:12I wanted our meal to be nice
15:14I tell you what must have been nice
15:17Having all that money I needed to pre-gave your mama at your disposal
15:22I beg your pardon?
15:24You two moved on up
15:25Like George and Wheezy
15:27I mean, after blowing up Nicole and Ted Richardson's marriage without a second thought
15:32Ma
15:33What?
15:34I'm just making conversation
15:37Mama and I didn't even know there was an inheritance
15:41The money was from a trust Anita set up for the heirs of her late groupmate Barbara
15:46No one even knew Mama was Barbara's daughter
15:48Certainly not my mom herself
15:50Whatever you say, sweetheart
15:53It rightfully belonged to my mother
15:55When we came to town, we didn't know anything about it
15:57I swear
15:59Mama told me Ted had been a deadbeat dad
16:01And she just wanted what I was owed
16:04And what was your part in it?
16:06I believed her
16:08Until I met Ted and Nicole for myself
16:10I'm well aware of this sordid story
16:13Heard all about it from Jacob and Naomi
16:16That mama of yours is something else
16:19She sure is
16:23And she doesn't play about her baby girl either
16:30You don't need to see her
16:31Thank you
16:32You invited your mom?
16:34Of course not
16:35Mama, hey
16:36What are you doing here?
16:38Oh, well, I have a deep tissue massage schedule for later
16:41Decided to get a bite to eat
16:44I guess great minds think alike, huh?
16:47Now I can lunch with my two favorite young lovebirds
16:51Um, I invited Mrs. Hawthorne to have lunch with Isaiah and I
16:56Alone
16:57Oh, well, I'm sure Darlene doesn't mind if I crash the party, do you, Darlene?
17:03Of course not
17:03It'll give us a chance to get to know each other better
17:07Sure that's what you want
17:08Because I most certainly can bring that
17:12Mama, how are things going over at the free clinic?
17:15Oh, terrible
17:16Oh, no, why?
17:18I know how eager you are for the clinic to make an impact on the community
17:23Yeah, well, the only thing being impacted right now are my nerves
17:26Whenever that no without Derek gets within two feet of me
17:32Derek is a really good manager
17:33He does his job and so much more
17:36Blah, blah, blah
17:37I just want you to quit yours and come work for me at my clinic, baby
17:41Mama, we already discussed that
17:43Oh, feel free
17:44Don't mind us
17:46I'd love to hear why you're reluctant to work alongside your mother
17:50I'm not reluctant, I just
17:52Ma knows how much time you spend doing volunteer work for the clinic
17:55I already filled her in, remember?
17:58Now that you mentioned it
18:00But Eva's so good at what she does and I want her on my staff
18:05Mama and I go back and forth on this all the time
18:08But I keep reminding her that I am very happy working at my dad's practice
18:13Yeah
18:13Plastic surgery is such a bore and it hardly ever turns out right
18:18I mean, some lips just end up looking like a duck stuck with a sneer
18:26Yeah, no matter how much surgery they get
18:29Okay, so what will it take to get you to come and work for your mama and quit on my
18:36teddy bear?
18:38Your teddy bear?
18:41You call Dr. Ted Richardson
18:43Teddy bear
18:53How's Grand?
18:54Oh, she's just fine
18:56Until she found out that I arranged for your Aunt Danny to come by and sit with her while you
19:03and I work on the campaign
19:05If there was one thing Anita Dupree hates, it's being coddled
19:09Facts, as you young people say
19:13Listen, Granddad, before we get into all this campaign stuff
19:17Can I ask you for some advice?
19:20Sure, you know how I love our talks
19:24When you and Grand first got married
19:27And you had your senatorial career
19:31How were you
19:36You were always at Capitol Hill
19:39And she was on the road so much
19:41So, how were you able to
19:44How did we keep our spark alive?
19:47Well, not exactly
19:49Smitty and I definitely have the spark
19:52But it's the time to light it that we're struggling with
19:57Lately, he's working on an important story
19:59And I'm in a campaign full swing
20:04Well, events like your upcoming fundraiser take a lot of work
20:08Especially before the fact
20:10Tell me about it
20:11And Smitty and I were like
20:14Ships passing in the night
20:17How did you and Grand navigate it?
20:20Well, we were determined not to let what we had drift away
20:25Now, we knew we were the only ones for each other
20:28That's how Smitty and I feel
20:30Especially now that the past is behind us
20:34We're closer than ever
20:35That's where it has to start
20:37With your grandmother and me
20:39Even if it meant hopping on a red eye
20:42Just to see her for the day
20:44I didn't hesitate
20:46Because our relationship was a priority
20:49And the?
20:51The sex?
20:52Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed
20:54Well, let me put it this way
20:59The emotional connection
21:01That's the source
21:03Everything else flows from that
21:07Communication, intimacy, respect
21:10Forgiveness
21:11All part and parcel
21:13I'll keep that in mind
21:15But one more thing, Martin
21:19I found that
21:21If you do have to postpone the good part
21:24When you do revisit it
21:26The spark is even hotter
21:29And the flame is even brighter
21:34Don't stay mad at Daddy too long
21:36He's just worried about you
21:39Oh, you know I can't stay angry at that man
21:42But, sweetheart, do me a favor
21:47Don't encourage your father's need to micromanage my life
21:50Was I doing that?
21:52Not intentionally
21:53But you know how overprotective he can be
21:56And I can decide when and if I need additional support
22:02I am still here
22:04And I still have autonomy
22:06Of course you do
22:07All right
22:09Now, let's see these proofs
22:11That I know are going to return you to the heights of high fashion
22:19I gotta be subtle, man
22:21But it's been hard trying to get Grayson to change the drop location from the hospital
22:24Did he say what the issue was?
22:27You should have seen how jumpy he was when I asked him to reach out to his connect
22:29I'd be jumpy too
22:31Considering what happens to anyone who crosses the people behind this racket
22:41There's, uh, something else isn't there
22:44I just feel guilty not being able to tell Ashley what her new boyfriend is up to
22:48How could you possibly do that?
22:51And it's not like he's involved her, so...
22:56Yeah, yeah, you're right
22:58But she's Naomi's best friend
23:02I get that
23:03But the best way to protect Ashley
23:05And everyone else that this ring is exploiting
23:08Is to find out who's behind it and expose them
23:12Yeah
23:13Huh
23:16Grayson works at Garland
23:19The woman he reports to also works at Garland
23:23Yeah, but I can't exactly hang around the hospital for a few hours snooping around
23:27Even in this get-up, I'm still recognizable at Garland
23:30You can't investigate the goings-on at the hospital
23:34But I can
23:41Thanks for helping me with all the cotillion stuff
23:44My fam is all about it
23:47I've been trying to keep up, it's just a lot
23:49You sound like my sister when she debuted
23:51I'm just focused on doing my best and not messing up
23:55And not embarrassing anyone
23:57I mean, it's not like I actually have a chance at being platinum, Deb, anyways
24:01No, no, you're doing a great job
24:03And by the way, I don't think you should assume what you have a chance at or not
24:07But I heard that platinum is based on votes
24:10Most of the people in my cotillion class
24:13Grew up going to the same fancy private academies
24:17I go to Fortin High, a regular public school
24:21Well, the organizers would tell you it's not about the votes
24:25And they're right
24:26The experience of a cotillion is what matters
24:28Being thrown into a situation that's completely out of your comfort zone
24:33Things you don't usually wear
24:35Dances you don't usually do
24:36Learning alongside other young women from different backgrounds than you
24:40And excelling
24:42I'm the only one from my background
24:44Then work that
24:45How?
24:46Use your social media to show all the great work you've been doing for the free clinic
24:51I heard it was low-key your idea
24:53That's a crazy flex
24:54Then you can share all your other stercurriculars too
24:57And while you're at it, ask the other girls about theirs
25:00They're nervous too
25:01Be there for each other
25:04Be a friend
25:06I do have a bunch of videos and photos that I never posted from my work as a Chelsea Cat
25:13team brand ambassador
25:15I could help the other devs with their socials
25:18See? Chelsea Cat's major
25:20You're popping, girl
25:21You gotta let these people know
25:25You wanna hear a secret?
25:28What?
25:30I used to have a huge crush on Chelsea when I was a teenager
25:35I basically used to live on her feed
25:38I watched every post like two or three times
25:42I was such a stan
25:49I have class, so I should get back to campus
25:51But before I do, why don't I help you get started with your new social media strategy?
25:56How are you gonna do that?
25:57How else?
25:58With a selfie
26:04I'll send it to you
26:06See you later
26:10Thanks for the food
26:24I know that look
26:26What look?
26:28The look that says my nose is wide open for a boy
26:33You like Darnell
26:34No, I don't
26:37Okay, maybe a little
26:39But just as a friend
26:41Good
26:42He's too old for you
26:43Trust me, Samantha
26:45You do not want to get mixed up with an older man
26:48Been there, done that
26:49Got the emotional scars to prove it
26:51Okay, it's not like I'm actually falling for Darnell
26:53And even if I was, he just sees me as a kid
26:57If he didn't, he wouldn't have just told me about the crush that he had on my cousin
27:04Anyways, our convo was all about Cotillia
27:07You know about it already
27:09I'm wearing a pretty gown
27:11Darnell's escorting me
27:13It's happening this spring
27:16Okay
27:18And I would love it if he would attend
27:24Oh, Danny, these are stunning
27:28That's what Tatum said
27:29Well, believe Tatum, she is right
27:33You are gonna set the fashion world on fire for a second time
27:39Sweetheart, what's wrong?
27:41I don't know, Mom
27:45You, Andre, Pamela, Tatum
27:48Everyone seems so certain I can do this
27:51But a lot has changed since I was a top model
27:54Are supermodels even a thing anymore?
27:57Of course they are
27:58Well, Rihanna has everyday people in her Savage Fenty ads
28:02And civil rights activists
28:04And reality TV starlets are walking in New York Fashion Week
28:09How am I supposed to stand out?
28:12How can I possibly compete?
28:16With all of them?
28:20You can't do that
28:21Sure I can
28:22Tell Grayson at the hospital?
28:24Why not?
28:26A million reasons
28:27What if Grayson or his boss finds out what you're doing?
28:29They won't
28:30You can't be certain of that
28:32It's too risky
28:34Maybe I'm not a cop
28:35But you seem to forget that I'm a trained investigative journalist
28:39Won some awards for it, too
28:40Yeah, but now you're a husband and a father
28:43Have you thought about what it would do to Martin and the kids
28:45If something were to happen to you?
28:46Just like you've thought about what it would do to Naomi
28:49And your brothers and your parents
28:51Come on, man, that's different
28:53How?
28:54You and I have both chosen careers
28:56They come with a certain amount of risk
28:57Except mine comes with a gun and a badge
28:59Not a digital tape recorder and a laptop
29:01Your gun and your badge don't guarantee you're going to be safe
29:06Come on, Jacob
29:07I need this
29:09I'm not going to be reckless
29:10I'm just going to go to Garland
29:11And snoop around and see what I find
29:14What's the harm in that?
29:18Mama, we've been through this
29:19I'm not leaving Dad in a lurch
29:21He needs me at his practice
29:22So you and Derek are going to have to figure out how to work together
29:26It's gracious of Ted to allow Eva to call him Dad
29:31Why wouldn't she call him Dad?
29:34That's who he is
29:35Oh, I'm well aware
29:36The entire DMV heard all about the spectacle you made
29:40Revealing Ted had fathered a child outside of his marriage to Nicole
29:44Ma, please
29:45No, Isaiah, obviously your mother has something she needs to get on up off her chest
29:51So let her speak her piece
29:53Go on, Lane
29:55Tell it like it T-I-E-S
29:57All right, fine
29:59You want me to go there?
30:00Oh, yeah, please
30:01Oh, I will
30:01Okay, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves
30:04You destroyed Nicole's life
30:06Then gripped your way into money
30:08That poor Anita set aside out of grief
30:12You mean out of guilt
30:15Especially how she treated my mother Barbara
30:17And why the hell is this any of your damn business anyway?
30:21The Duprees are good people
30:23They don't deserve the chaos and carnage you brought into their lives
30:29I'm sorry, son
30:30I tried
30:31But I refuse to sit here a second longer
30:38Go after her
30:43Forget that uppity trick
30:45Looking down her nose
30:46You and me
30:47You know what?
30:48She better be glad that my biking days are over
30:51Look, here
30:53I am going to go get me a real cocktail
30:55Before my spa appointment
30:57Bye-bye, baby
31:04I don't know what to say
31:07It's pretty easy
31:08You could just say that you'll come
31:10It would mean a lot for me to have you there
31:14I am touched, Samantha
31:19But I don't think it's a great idea
31:21Why?
31:23Well, just look at me
31:25I'm not exactly a part of the elite club
31:28I wouldn't want to do anything to embarrass you
31:32What?
31:33You sound like Tyrell
31:35He's all worried about embarrassing Jessica
31:39Well, that's just ridiculous
31:40Tyrell is a real gentleman
31:43Jessica should be proud to have him escorting her
31:46And I would be proud to have you there
31:51Just promise me that you'll think about it
31:55I'm sorry, baby
31:56But my mind is made up
32:00You'll have your dad's
32:02Your brother
32:02And the entire Dupree family
32:04They're cheering you on
32:05You wouldn't want to have me there
32:07Like catch up on crab legs
32:09But I can't wait to see
32:10I can't wait to see the pictures, though
32:15Sure
32:16I need to go and check on a customer
32:26You know, I was once exactly where you are
32:29After I left the articulets to go solo
32:33I was in totally uncharted waters
32:36Suddenly, the lead singer
32:38Of one of the biggest pop groups of all time
32:40Was attempting to reinvent herself
32:44As Anita Williams, jazz singer
32:46You more than attempted
32:48You succeeded
32:49As will you, my darling
32:51You will succeed with your second act
32:54Do you really think so?
32:56I know so
32:59Success runs in your DNA
33:10Glad to see your numbers moving in the right direction
33:13Just remember to lean in on the message
33:17Will do
33:18But there's one more thing
33:21Shonda, my campaign manager, thinks I should beef up my security
33:26That's a wise move
33:28You know, you and your family are going to have a lot more eyes on you as things progress
33:34That makes me a little more concerned
33:36It's the day and age we live in, son
33:39I know I have to prepare my family and myself for that
33:42When it comes to Smitty and the kids, I can never be too careful
33:46Absolutely
33:48It's a difficult balancing act
33:51Staying available to your constituents while spending some time with your family and keeping everyone protected
34:04I told you when this first started that things can get dangerous
34:06I'm trying to give you an out here
34:08But I don't want an out
34:11I want to be the one who breaks the story
34:14This is the kind of piece that made me want to be an investigative journalist in the first place
34:18I gave that up for the kids because they needed me home
34:22And I love them more than my work
34:24But now they're older and they're good kids and I know they're going to be fine
34:27And you feel like now is the perfect time to dive headfirst into the unpredictable?
34:31You need me and I need this
34:34Smitty
34:35You're juggling more than I am
34:36Okay, you need someone who you trust to move the needle
34:41All right, look
34:43You're not entirely wrong
34:44Part of what you're saying is true
34:46But if you get caught, this can compromise the entire investigation
34:50Everything we both worked for
34:51All the lies you told to Martin and the kids
34:53Is it worth one and everything just to prove you still got what it takes?
34:57You think this is about my ego?
35:03All right, listen
35:05Just promise me if you go snooping around the hospital
35:07You won't do it without a clear plan first
35:11You got it
35:13I won't do anything without a plan
35:15All right
35:21Don't even think about trying to convince me to go back in there
35:25And break bread with that viper of a woman
35:29You can save your breath on that, son
35:31I know Leslie can be difficult
35:32Okay, but she is Eva's mother
35:34That's what troubles me
35:36What do you mean?
35:38Baby, do you know how much it warms my heart
35:41To have you back home
35:42Where you belong
35:44After all these years?
35:46Yeah
35:46Yeah, okay
35:47I'm happy to be back
35:49Okay, and I'm glad to be close to you and Jacob again
35:52Listen, you're in a good space
35:54You have a good job at a prestigious university
35:57I don't want you to do anything to interfere with that
36:01Anything like what?
36:03Like getting mixed up with the spawn of Satan herself
36:05I'm sorry
36:06I tried to hold my tongue
36:08I truly did
36:09But the apple don't fall far from the tree, son
36:12If Eva Thomas is even the slightest bit like her mama
36:16You do best to stay clear of that girl
36:43And I'll Becca
36:45Bye
36:46Bye
36:49But the apple don't fall all the time
36:51Anec
36:51Anec
36:51Gracias por ver el video.
