00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:07Jennifer Holliday
00:08Anita Williams
00:09Get over here girl
00:10Bring it in
00:12Joey was arrogant
00:14He even insulted my family
00:16You're just another Dupree
00:17Baptized in the same self-righteous water
00:20And that's why you came over last night
00:22Just give me the damn bag
00:23So we can go
00:24Every action has a consequence
00:27That someone must pay
00:29And if Joey has already figured us out
00:31Bill won't be too far behind
00:33Okay, chill out
00:34We need to kill Bill already
00:36And get the hell out before he can ruin us
00:42Man
00:43I've never been so happy to get a text from an unknown number
00:48It's not proof of life
00:49Until you hug your big brother
00:51Tell mom I'm okay
00:53I shouldn't even be in your face right now
00:55I thought it was being a good son
00:56But I was fumbling
00:58Asking Naomi to set up a call for you and Ma was not the move
01:01You meant well
01:02Naomi'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
01:11I was out of step
01:13Pretty usual
01:14That's not true, bro
01:15Ma, 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
01:41Happy anniversary, Naomi
01:42Happy anniversary, Jacob
01:54Hey
01:55How are you holding up?
01:58For better
01:59After last night
02:00Oh, Jacob came home?
02:02I went to him
02:03The no-tell motel
02:05So hot it's like out of a movie
02:07Yeah, cheap, tacky movie maybe
02:09But 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
02:21They
02:23God, whoever they are
02:25Want him at the ready
02:26What?
02:28Jacob can't tell me
02:29I mean, we've kept cases from each other before
02:32But this is different
02:34Please
02:35No pity today
02:37Okay
02:39How's your presence?
02:41What?
02:47Ashley
02:49You did not keep our wedding favors from all these years
02:53No, no
02:53I gobbled up those troubles even before you threw the bouquet
02:56But I went to the same confectioner with a picture and
03:01Ashley
03:03I thought I could make it through this day without crying
03:07Happy anniversary, Naomi
03:37me
03:42It's just too pretty.
03:44I want to wait to share it with Jacob.
03:46Yeah.
03:50Which is why I've got two.
03:52Okay, now I'm going to have to hurt you.
03:54You're welcome.
03:55Ashley, you want me to come by after work?
03:59Maybe.
04:00I'm heading to Mom's now.
04:02She's pretending she just happens to need some company.
04:04You're doubting.
04:06I'll be lucky if there isn't a recreated wedding cake when I get there.
04:10She and Dad pressed at brunch about Jacob being gone for so long.
04:15I couldn't keep my game face.
04:17And now their minds are heading straight to divorce court.
04:20Well, better that than knowing what he's really doing.
04:22We should have come up with a better cover story than training sessions.
04:26Nope, it wouldn't have mattered.
04:28It's a step too far for anyone to believe that you or Jacob would miss your anniversary.
04:34There wouldn't be an anniversary if you hadn't nudged so hard.
04:38I don't know.
04:39You 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.
04:48Oh, you are so not done.
04:52And 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.
05:01He'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.
05:21Said 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.
05:42I can't.
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 could 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?
06:08I'll buy you a coffee.
06:11I hope you win the love of your life, and all I get is a latte.
06:15Yeah, that's nowhere near enough.
06:18I'm getting you a cookie, too.
06:20Okay.
06:26So 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 after Belle.
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.
06:41College man's about to start philosophizing.
06:43Did you boys ever say anything about lovers separated by crime solving?
06:46You know what?
06:47I actually go with bell hooks.
06:48When we choose love, we choose to move against fear.
06:52Damn, man.
06:54Let 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 rewrite in history?
07:12Ma 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.
07:23Try 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.
07:34If we were in the same room, I would have noticed.
07:39You 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...
07:58Hmm.
07:59I 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.
08:10I asked you.
08:11Well, you're the one who curbed me at that bougie coffee shop over on Marshall.
08:15Wait, that is not fair.
08:16We had never said a word to each other.
08:18I wasn't going to give my number to some stranger just because he was a cop.
08:22This was different.
08:24Fine.
08:25But look, you know you're fine.
08:27And you're brilliant.
08:30And 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.
08:37It's about what your family name means.
08:40Black American royalty.
08:42Being a Dupree isn't what you think it is.
08:45Oh, let me guess.
08:46It's better?
08:47Different.
08:48We're about blazing our own path.
08:51And that path doesn't have to be fancy.
08:53It just 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.
09:10But 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 or 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 Dupree.
09:46You know, I want to do the same.
09:48To 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.
10:05Do I think he's my personal superhero?
10:07Absolutely.
10:08My family has been friends of the station forever.
10:11And they speak highly of the chief.
10:14You must be really proud.
10:19Oh, shoot.
10:20Judge Henson is not a fan of tardiness.
10:23Please.
10:24Henson's a pussycat.
10:26In what universe?
10:27Since he was my scoutmaster.
10:30Look, 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.
10:45I'm pretty good at earning badges and bad behavior.
10:48Well, 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.
10:56When it came to Jacob and his ma, my last name was a strike against me.
11:01You know, it's funny.
11:02You know, it's funny.
11:02We haven't properly met before.
11:04Oh, we met?
11:06You and your sister nearly ran over me at 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.
11:26My people came from South Carolina.
11:29I'm guessing you're not familiar.
11:31Oh, actually, my soar and I, we spent spring break in Mount Pleasant.
11:35I was completely Southern charmed by the people and the sunset.
11:39That 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 or been a part of some sorority, but I'm proud.
12:02Well, you should be.
12:04Being a dispatcher is one of the most valued jobs, period.
12:08It takes nerves of steel, which can't be taught.
12:11Wife's the woman you want on your side for 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 and grandmother.
12:26Gran made it from Cabrini Green all the way to the top of the charts without stepping on a campus.
12:33That's quite a rise.
12:34And my mom, she stepped off the runway to raise us and help my dad start his firm.
12:40You know, scouting clients and designing the offices.
12:43Behind every good man, there'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 tint of this.
13:10Listen, man.
13:10If you want Eva to stick, she's going to 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.
13:32Dr. Ahn suggested I keep my alcohol count low for Baraka reasons, which I have been doing consistently every sixth
13:38Tuesday of the month.
13:39But since you didn't inherit the demon DNA, you want real bubbles?
13:45No, I like these bubbles, too.
13:47That's fine.
13:48Okay.
13:49To my perfect baby and her perfect mate, happy anniversary.
13:55Thanks, Mom.
13:58You know, I knew you were always in our corner from day one.
14:02Well, almost.
14:04But once in, you were all in.
14:06I was just protective because I had never seen you crushing so hard.
14:09Oh, except when you fell for what's-his-name?
14:13Um, you encouraged me to run away with what's-his-name.
14:17Because I thought you were going to use that voice that you inherited from your gran to pick up the
14:21mic and change the world in that band of his.
14:24But you decided to use your voice for other reasons.
14:27Yeah.
14:27To help those who don't have one.
14:29Proud 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 and with exactly whom you belong.
14:44Yeah.
14:44I just needed you to make the case.
14:48Okay.
14:49Be brutal.
14:50It's flawless.
14:52Why 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, not dad's.
15:12And speaking of my personal protective detail at Winterfest, I 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?
15:29If the Fairmont Crest ladies need something to goss about, they should be kiki-ing over Jacob and me, cohabitating.
15:39Well, he's at my place or I'm at his every night.
15:43Don't act like this decision is being made from up here when we both know it is coming from a
15:48place that's much lower.
15:50Mom.
15:50Your heart, dirty girl.
15:54You said that you wouldn't take this step unless you were sure.
15:59Well, Mom, I love him.
16:03And he loves me.
16:05No!
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.
16:19Mm-hmm.
16:19Whatever Elon and Darlene did, their boys show up for their women.
16:23Mm-hmm.
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.
16:46Did it work?
16:47Not even a little.
16:49Why did this pizza hit different in a new apartment?
16:52Babe, you have a little sauce on your...
16:55Hmm?
16:55Where?
16:56No, no, no, I'm not there.
16:57Here?
17:01Mm-hmm.
17:08Here, 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.
17:17Sure.
17:20Sure, I think we're that boy.
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, christen.
17:36No, please stay.
17:37You can be our first dinner guest.
17:40Oh, I am.
17:41Mm-hmm.
17:41It's one of those soft top mattresses.
17:43Nice.
17:44Well, duh.
17:45Miss private school here hasn't even ever slept on an air mattress.
17:47Oh, wait.
17:48That is not true.
17:49I was the queen of sleepovers.
17:52I felt like I was Raven-Symone and Princess Diaries, too.
17:55Mm.
17:55The princess sleepover when she and Julie Andrews sing,
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.
18:07Because 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.
18:25Okay.
18:26Not so fast.
18:28Hmm.
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.
19:00Fothering.
19:01He thought it was barbaric.
19:03Oh, that is so funny.
19:06Because 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.
19:21Mom?
19:21Mm-hmm.
19:23What does that mean?
19:24What?
19:25Mom, did Jacob circle back and ask Dad for a secret blessing?
19:32No.
19:33He asked for mine.
19:35You want a scotch?
19:37Well, at least sit down.
19:42Is Naomi okay?
19:44I just wanted to let you know what an incredible woman you've raised.
19:49Didn't do it myself.
19:50I know she loves her dad, but I'm here to talk to you.
19:55Naomi and Chelsea, they're a testament to you.
19:59Their ambition, their generosity, their kindness.
20:03And I want to let you know that I'll only be additive to that equation.
20:10Whatever dreams Naomi has and wants to pursue, I'll champion.
20:17I'll never stand in her way.
20:19I wouldn't imagine anything different.
20:22Okay.
20:24So 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?
20:33Well, I want to make Naomi's come true.
20:35And mine.
20:39Wait.
20:40Sorry, sorry.
20:44Okay.
20:46I'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 how 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 that he was offering me a future where he never, ever took anything away from
21:16me.
21:16Like, like your dad took from me.
21:21Your man kept his word.
21:24You knew before anyone else that I was getting married and you actually kept the secret all this time.
21:29And I helped plan the proposal.
21:31Even though you did everything in your power to blow it up.
21:38Babe.
21:42Look, I know it's just Ashley, but you got to throw on a dress.
21:45Ugh.
21:46I already begged off.
21:47I had an awful day in court.
21:48Well, maybe talking it through with your best friend will help.
21:51I just want to curl up with my man and the second season of our show.
21:56And what about Ashley?
21:58Well, she's already seen season two.
22:01Okay, baby, listen.
22:04Listen, you said you didn't want to be one of those women who gets into a relationship and avoids her
22:08friends, right?
22:09Besides, Ashley doesn't want you to start telling her things like how much of an asshat Judge Faraday was this
22:14morning.
22:15No.
22:15Come on.
22:16Let go.
22:18Listen, part of being a bestie is the freedom to say you're too tie-tie.
22:22And part of being a girlfriend is knowing when her boyfriend is being totally sus.
22:27Okay, well, did it ever occur to you that I just might have plans myself?
22:31No, 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, if you have someplace to be, don't let me stop you.
22:41Jeez.
22:41You know what?
22:44Fine.
22:55Jacob.
22:57Shh.
22:58Just 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, lighting you up as you're walking on a path, strewn with yellow roses.
23:30Your favorite.
23:33And there I am, standing there, waiting for you.
23:36All while this song is playing.
23:38But I guess now we'll have to improvise.
23:41Jacob?
23:43Naomi Hamilton, I've never met anyone more infuriating, more stubborn, and more beautiful than you.
23:53And I know this isn't what I planned, but 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, you 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, I realized you were more than I could ever have imagined for myself.
24:23More than anything I could dream of.
24:25More than the poets and the writers and the singers could ever say.
24:29Hey, you were prettier, kinder, brighter, smarter.
24:34And somehow, you liked me too.
24:38More than liked me.
24:40I couldn't fathom how somebody like you could choose me.
24:43But you did.
24:45And you continue to choose me each and every day.
24:48Naomi, you came along and blew my heart wide open.
24:50And I 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, will you marry me?
25:12Yes, I will marry you.
25:14Okay.
25:15Oh, I did that backwards, didn't I?
25:16That's okay.
25:17It still counts.
25:18It still counts.
25:21Oh, I love it.
25:23Yeah, my mom gave me my grandmother's necklace and I melted it down and added that stone.
25:28I've never seen anything like it.
25:31Wait, your mom knows, which means my mom has to know, which means...
25:36And Ashley and Chelsea...
25:37Baby, relax.
25:38Everybody's in your mom and dad's living room right now waiting with champagne.
25:42And Ashley too?
25:44Oh no, she's actually at the park with her phone waiting to capture the moment.
25:47I was just about to text her.
25:48All right, I'm calling her.
25:50All right, well do it while you get dressed.
25:54No, no, no, Jacob Hawthorne.
25:57You did not propose to me with my bonnet on.
26:00Baby, you've never been more beautiful.
26:03Well, if you didn't love him already, that proposal would have clinched it.
26:07Oh, the heart and timing on that boy.
26:10I swear he could have been a poet or a lead in a rom-com.
26:13No.
26:14My man was born to be a detective, cracking cases.
26:18Like he cracked you?
26:19I couldn't ever imagine someone getting past these walls, let alone setting up permanent residence.
26:30This mystery training means 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.
27:13Why 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, but it can wait until...
27:21It's how we remember, where we've been.
27:24And 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.
27:39You 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.
27:58Naomi.
27:59But there you were, just receiving, making me feel protected, and seen, and heard.
28:11Lord, we made this place.
28:15A place where the love goes both ways.
28:19Jacob 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 making sure you feel just as safe and happy as we
28:36search for new joys each and every day.
28:40Naomi, a partner is steadfast.
28:44He communicates his needs and anticipates yours.
28:48He has integrity.
28:51If it gets tough, or if things go haywire, he always has your back.
28:56I 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, tomorrow, and forever.
29:17And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
29:21Jacob, you may kiss your bride.
29:30Take care of my girl now.
29:32Baby, it was so beautiful.
29:34I will, sir.
29:35I'm so happy, Mom.
29:36I can see that.
29:39Looking sharp, Pops.
29:41Yeah.
29:42Nice sneaks.
29:44I'm here, Nina.
29:45Less formal than the cater waiters.
29:48The groom's not noticing my footwear.
29:50Maybe.
29:51But 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 it is a point.
30:22You're up to snake fits.
30:23All you had to do was be a man for once more.
30:26What 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?
30:54I'm not exactly feeling the love.
30:57I'm out.
30:58Oh, stay.
30:59Hey, think of your brother.
31:02I am.
31:03I am.
31:05Okay, 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, I don't...
31:43Where was this father-in-law concern when 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 move 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, I know something confessed her between a couple.
32:20Okay?
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, but...
32:39Jacob 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.
33:08That'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, but 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.
33:49I've said my piece.
33:51You tell Jacob that his favorite father-in-law sends his regards.
33:55Okay?
33:56I will.
33:57All right.
33:59Bye, Dad.
33:59Bye.
34:00Bye.
34:09I think I'm broken in two.
34:17Too many bullets I lost.
34:21Jacob.
34:22Somewhere on this lonely road.
34:25So it goes.
34:40I hope you're reading this wearing my t-shirt and you're upon it.
34:44You know how much that gets me going.
34:47Everything came at us this year and kept coming.
34:51When we said I do, we were so sure we could love our way through whatever.
34:56But now we've lived it and 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, we'll make it all up.
35:12Maybe we finally use our trip to Mexico.
35:15You know what?
35:16But no, no more Mamie's.
35:18We will soon.
35:21And now I 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 and 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.
35:59We'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.
36:41I need you, I need you, I need you.
