05:06¿Estás diciendo que tu equipo está tomando un vacío en mi dime por un inicio?
05:16Es la ley, y el brazo.
05:21Oh, ¿y piensas?
05:25Yo era capaz de llamar a favor de la construcción, por ahora, al menos.
05:29Es todo gracias a esa una pequeña oversight.
05:32¡Hallelujah!
05:34You know, you've got to love the irony that a woman who takes a mile when given an inch is
05:41thwarted by that very same inch.
05:43Yeah, and based on the plans that I saw, check this out, Leslie is actually planning to reconstruct Michelangelo's David
05:51in the form of Idris Elba.
05:55You don't know the half of it, but we are grateful for your legal prowess.
06:01And that noise was driving my wife out of her mind.
06:06Now maybe Anita can have just a little bit of peace in her own home.
06:10Yeah, well, I can see how exhausted you are. I'm sure she is too, so I should be on my
06:17way.
06:17Wait. I'm glad to see you, Bill.
06:25I have never seen her behave like that.
06:27Neither have I.
06:29Sure, when we were under the same roof and the twins were teens, she and I could go for a
06:35few rounds, but...
06:37Lord, I remember those days with Kat.
06:40But I have never seen her go ballistic in public.
06:46The outburst, the venom in her words, they cut right through me.
06:52My heart broke for the both of you.
06:55My baby is in such pain and I can't do a damn thing to help her. She won't let me.
07:00I know, honey. I know. But sometimes space is the best thing you can do here.
07:06That's why I let Donnell go after her. After. I knew she couldn't talk reasonably with me.
07:13That was probably the right thing to do.
07:16But how much more distance does she need? It's been six months and she has already missed her father's funeral.
07:23The holidays in Fairmont Crest and... and now she's threatening to never come home again.
07:30I will help any way I can.
07:33I am very much a silent partner in the clinic.
07:37I try to spend as little time with Leslie Thomas as possible.
07:44Though, I do like Eva. I mean, that girl must have the constitution of Muhammad Ali to put up with
07:49a mother like that.
07:50Oh, yeah. Leslie gives whole new meaning to the word extra.
07:54I had to put her in check about my upcoming wedding since there's no engagement.
07:58I do find her mess amusing, though. Probably because it's new to me.
08:01But Eva's been dealing with it her whole life.
08:04And you know what it's like to have an overbearing parent.
08:08Yeah, I'm real familiar with all control all the time. That's a family dynamic.
08:13So, my guess is, you're hoping to clean up some of this mess for yourself by sharing my secrets with
08:21your girlfriend.
08:26Most of my old friends are locked up or dead. But I'm neither one, thanks to you.
08:32Look, I owe you, Joey. And I'll always be loyal.
08:37Feelings mutual.
08:38Eva is just as loyal to the important people in her life. And I'd like to think that I'm one
08:42of them.
08:43You know, I don't think I've ever seen you like this before. It's like a weight's been lifted.
08:50Probably because I stopped living in the shadows.
08:52So, Eva's brightened up your life. Lucky you.
08:57Thanks to you.
08:59But she and I don't keep secrets.
09:01So, I'd like to tell her about our complicated friendship.
09:05But I would never tell anybody about your business without your say-so.
09:12Go ahead.
09:14With my blessing.
09:16But know this.
09:18Once the name Joey Armstrong is wrong,
09:22you can't un-ring it.
09:27This is the first time Deanna came home after Doug's death.
09:32Which should have brought on a slew of memories for her.
09:35And that dedication ceremony was, in part, a memorial to him.
09:41I think patience mixed with love is all you can do here.
09:47You said something similar after Deanna acted out at Uptown.
09:51And I've been keeping my distance, but it is so hard.
09:56I don't doubt that at all.
09:58Donnell said there are days where she stays holed up in her room and refuses to get out of bed.
10:03And then will go out partying all night till the sun comes up.
10:07Like a lot of college kids.
10:11Deanna's always had big emotions.
10:14But there was always a rhythm to the pendulum.
10:19Donnell and I have noticed that the tempo has been off.
10:24Do you think this is how she's grieving her father?
10:28Quite possibly.
10:31We don't know how Deanna's grief is going to manifest yet.
10:34It can come in unexpected waves.
10:38She did tell me that she's still meeting with her therapist.
10:41And I think that's true, but maybe you could use your connections at Vanneker.
10:48Reach out and just make sure she's actually showing up for her therapy sessions.
10:53As your best friend and a mother, I hear you and I'm with you.
10:57So who's against me?
10:59Never against you.
11:01But as a psychiatrist, I have certain ethical constraints.
11:05Since Deanna's an adult, I can't just find out anything about her without her consent.
11:13So I'm being shut out.
11:15Again.
11:18Am I being played, Frankie?
11:20Are you trying to jack up the prices on this Chi-town sister?
11:24Is that what's going on?
11:25Because, honey, I can do some jacking right back.
11:28I warned you, Miss Thomas, many times.
11:31Now, when the inspector gets here...
11:33Where? Where? Where? Please tell me.
11:35Where in the hell is this inspector?
11:37Just like always, if you want something done the right way,
11:40you got to do it your damn self.
11:42Now, you know, the world, sometimes it throws things at me.
11:48And the thing about me is I can catch it and throw it right on back.
11:53Oh, yes.
11:55Especially when men are concerned.
11:57Uh, about that?
12:00Mm-hmm.
12:02Over here.
12:15It's good to see you too, Anita.
12:19I know I'm not looking my best, but, um, to put it mildly, but...
12:24It makes sense because I'm not feeling my best.
12:28You know, the good old chemo double whammy.
12:33Uh, maybe right now is not the best time for a visit.
12:37I agree.
12:38Sit down, Bill.
12:40Yes, ma'am.
12:46I'm, um...
12:48I'm sorry, Anita.
12:49You're stuck here toughing this up when you and Vernon should be enjoying yourselves.
12:53We will be taking that plan your own adventure trip Nicole gave us at Christmas.
13:00It's just a question of time.
13:03Yeah, yeah.
13:04Well, you're one of the strongest women I've ever known.
13:08With the possible exception of Danny, but...
13:11Since she gets her strength from you, it's safe to assume that you're still in the lead.
13:16Complimenting both me and Danny?
13:18Well, wonders never cease.
13:20Yeah, he's just telling the truth.
13:22Everyone in this family gets their grit from you, my love.
13:26Yup.
13:28Yeah, that's right.
13:30That's why this family is virtually invincible, you know?
13:36Anita, you keep harnessing that power and that iron wheel of yours and Cancer won't know what hit it.
13:48I appreciate your faith in my fortitude, but...
13:52I have to admit...
13:55Cancer is winning this round today.
13:58So, I'll take that as my cue to let you get some rest.
14:00I'll show you what.
14:01No, no, no, no.
14:03Not until I thank you myself.
14:06I overheard you telling Vernon that you managed to put a stop to that god-awful racket across the street.
14:12That's nothing.
14:14False modesty doesn't become you.
14:18You and I, we've had our...
14:21Well, we've been at odds at times, but you really came through for me this time, so...
14:26I thank you.
14:30You're welcome.
14:34Vernon, I'm having a craving.
14:36What can I get you, love?
14:38I would love some of Orphie Jean's shrimp and grits.
14:41Since Rowena's out running errands, would you mind getting me some?
14:46Well, if you don't...
14:47I have an app here, and I could just order it and they'll deliver it a bit much faster.
14:53No, no, no, no.
14:54It's much better when it's delivered by loving hands.
14:59And...
15:00Bill will stay and keep me company.
15:03Isn't that right?
15:05Of course.
15:10I won't be long.
15:11Take your time.
15:20All right, Anita.
15:23What's this about?
15:26You once told me to lean on the people around me for help.
15:30Does that include you?
15:34I know how hard you've worked to bury your past.
15:38I only suggested not bringing it up for your sake.
15:41But your life is your own.
15:44As far as our relationship is concerned, I have nothing to hide.
15:50There are no secrets to be kept from Eva or anybody else.
15:55Thank you for understanding.
15:57You know, earlier you mentioned me being lighter.
16:00I can see that some things have changed for you, too.
16:02Eh, could be.
16:04I'm not one to show my hand, but Vanessa's a shirt bad.
16:11Hi, Isaiah.
16:12What's up, Vanessa?
16:14Joey, I'mma head out of here.
16:16Thank you.
16:17I'll see you around.
16:21I thought you two were keeping your distance from each other.
16:26That boy has got it bad for Eva Thomas.
16:30That's not news to anyone with eyes, but how does that involve you?
16:34Oh, we wanted to make sure I was okay with him sharing our less than savory past.
16:39And?
16:40Who am I to stand in the way of true love?
16:44You really are an incredibly kind man.
16:47Well, don't let that get around.
16:49Could ruin my street cred.
16:51You'll never be in danger of losing your edge.
16:55I just wish people could see the man in front of me.
17:00Especially this paternal streak.
17:02It's not what I would call it.
17:03Well, if everyone could just see.
17:05No, no. You know what?
17:06What you see is for a very select few.
17:10And you're the only one that has an all-access pass.
17:15Besides, you wouldn't want to share me with anyone, would you?
17:29Come in.
17:34I didn't expect to see you return to the scene of the crime so soon.
17:38Well, our thing is to be direct.
17:42Today is no different.
17:43If this is some sort of justification for the way you behaved...
17:47I wouldn't waste my breath.
17:50I think we both know that I...
17:54was coming from a place of jealousy, so I'm here to apologize.
17:59Go ahead.
18:01Clearly that wasn't enough to smooth things over.
18:04Not by a long shot.
18:08You were right to call me out on my behavior.
18:12It didn't seem like you.
18:15Granted, I don't know you all that well.
18:17Not when you do, intimately.
18:20But you're right.
18:22It was unlike me.
18:24Truth is, I've never really been in this situation.
18:27And what situation is that?
18:30I've never had to fight for a woman's attention.
18:34Now, Miss Inspector...
18:36Between us gals...
18:38I'm...
18:39I'm sure that we can work things out.
18:42Ma'am, my mother just wants to cooperate.
18:45Here's what we can do to comply.
18:47Okay, look, let's just cut straight to the chase, alright?
18:50I have oodles of moolah to smooth out any little problems.
18:55And you look like you need...
18:57I mean, would love some money.
19:01What my mother means that everyone likes money.
19:04I got my checkbook, honey. Let's just...
19:06All construction stops until after new plans have been approved.
19:12You've granted waivers for worse things than that.
19:15Can't we just trim the renovation? It's one inch. I mean...
19:20None of this will work.
19:21Are you seriously telling me that I don't get my checkbook?
19:25I'm sure you're busy.
19:25Are you serious?
19:26We can't thank you enough for coming.
19:29Thank you so much.
19:30That is rude!
19:32Mama!
19:33What?
19:34Don't you mama me, right?
19:36Is this one of those movies?
19:38Mama, just let the people just walk all over your time.
19:41Is that the time right now?
19:43Anything I say to you would be pointless.
19:46I have had it.
19:48You know what? Don't call me.
19:49I'll call you.
19:52Maybe.
19:54Ava?
19:58Ava!
20:22Rough day.
20:24Do you have something to do with this?
20:27I'm just here for the tea.
20:29I will find a way.
20:32Knock yourself out.
20:34It's nice to see you getting back some of what you've dished out.
20:39That little stunt you pulled with the wedding venue, an all-time low.
20:43Even for you.
20:44Don't you ever come for me and mine again.
20:49Or what, kitty cat?
20:51Are you gonna use your little itty bitty kitty claws?
20:54On this lioness?
20:57Karma's an even bigger bitch than you.
21:00So, take the call from on high and move the hell on.
21:10I thought you would just call.
21:11You text 9-1-1.
21:13Like I'm running.
21:15You okay?
21:17Just the usual insanity.
21:20Did your mom book us on a romantic trip on the next shuttle to space?
21:24You know what? That'd be actually kind of dope.
21:27Yeah, we could have our own planet.
21:28No parents allowed.
21:30How do you always see the silver lining in everything?
21:33It's a gift.
21:34You have so many, I mean, it's hard to keep track.
21:37Mm-hmm.
21:38So what'd she do this time?
21:40Well, thankfully it's got nothing to do with us.
21:42And you know what?
21:43I'm officially clocking out of parenting my parent for the day.
21:47Sometimes I feel like all I do with you is vent about my mama drama.
21:51I like a little drama.
21:53Besides, I was just telling a close friend that one of my favorite things about you
21:56is how loyal you are to the people you love, despite their shortcomings.
22:01Of which there are many.
22:03Yeah.
22:04We all got plenty.
22:13Hey, how about a game of blackjack?
22:17Some other time.
22:20Deanna?
22:23Well, Donnell says she's okay.
22:25I talked to Nicole.
22:27She says I should respect her boundaries, but stay connected.
22:35Leave her a voicemail.
22:37She'll listen to it when she's ready, but she'll know that you're always there for her.
22:54Deanna, baby. It's your mom.
22:58You once told me that the stroke taught you not to shut out the people who want to help you.
23:04And you recommended that I follow that example.
23:08Can you include me in that group?
23:11I'm touched.
23:13Well, you're certainly not at the top of the list.
23:16But I know I can count on you for some things.
23:23This should be good.
23:26You are one of the few people who will tell me the unvarnished truth.
23:32Who will trust that I can take it.
23:36Truth about what?
23:39When you look at me, what do you see?
23:43Do you still see Anita Dupree?
23:47Or is it just cancer?
23:55If you really want the truth, I see my mother.
24:08The truth is, a few months ago, I probably wouldn't have thought about our current situation too much.
24:18Because I didn't come here looking for anything serious.
24:22And now, since we are being direct?
24:26Oh, the connection that we share, I never took into account that this same chain reaction could be happening over
24:36in column B.
24:39You being column A, I suppose?
24:42That would imply that one column favors the other.
24:46I'm not going to apologize for how the alphabet works.
24:51After ending your decades-long marriage, you deserve to explore all your options.
24:57But I was hoping that you'd still like to consider me as an option after, you know, my, uh...
25:08Off day.
25:13So, do I still have a column?
25:17You do.
25:19And that column has a lot of check marks on it.
25:24Especially considering I happen to really like when a man can admit that he's made mistakes.
25:32But your body-melting neck massage might rank a little bit higher than that.
25:41Somewhere between being direct and those incredibly beautiful eyes.
25:50I'm about to be really direct.
25:52Oh.
25:54I want to give you the key to everything.
26:01But seriously, you're pure bliss after the train wreck my life has been till now.
26:07Have you missed my own mess?
26:11Hello?
26:12My own family?
26:14From what you said, your only problem is your dad.
26:17Jacob, Luke, your mom, they're squarely Team Isaiah.
26:21I think the only problem with Elon is he just doesn't know you like I do.
26:25Well, no one has ever known me like you.
26:28Well, I can name one thing I don't know.
26:31Who's this friend you were talking me up about?
26:34Do I know her?
26:37It's...
26:38Joey Armstrong.
26:41Oh.
26:41I didn't know you two knew each other.
26:43Yeah.
26:45Yeah, Joey's the only other person that has always seen the good in me.
26:48Even at my lowest.
26:52You seldom talk about your family.
26:55I know your father was...
26:56Never the man he needed to be.
27:00Not for me.
27:02Not for my mother either.
27:04He tried to dim her light every chance he got.
27:08And somehow I remind you of that dynamic?
27:14Well, not in the way you might think.
27:17Vernon has always stoked your flame.
27:21Encouraged you to burn brighter, but this...
27:23This damn cancer is snuffing out your spark.
27:26Well, the crab has a way of doing that.
27:29You know, when I first saw you today, when I came in...
27:33I thought I saw my mother.
27:36Yeah.
27:36I mean, just for a second, but...
27:39I gotta be honest, it threw me.
27:43It hit me hard.
27:45I knew you were feeling something, but I never thought that.
27:48I...
27:50I'm sorry for oversharing.
27:51Oh, please.
27:52Don't you dare apologize.
27:55See, that is nothing like my mother.
28:00And you two look nothing alike.
28:02But yet, something about me now reminds you of her.
28:13By the end, my mother was so beat down, she stopped believing she would get better.
28:21Danny once told me that her depression was soul crushing.
28:26Yeah.
28:27Yeah.
28:27Crushed her soul and everybody's soul who cared about her.
28:31Listen to me.
28:32No.
28:36You do not let cancer bully you into submission, you understand?
28:39Don't do that.
28:40You use every tool at your disposal.
28:43I have.
28:45Anita.
28:47I can see that you're in pain right now.
28:49Have you talked to your doctor about it?
28:51He knows.
28:52Because you assume that or did you tell him that?
28:55Well, I...
28:55Did he hear you?
28:59Did he hear you?
29:01Make him hear you.
29:03Don't just sit and suffer in silence or brace yourself against the storm.
29:06Don't do that.
29:07Please don't do that.
29:09You reach out for the help that's reaching out to you.
29:12And if the worst happens...
29:15No, come on.
29:16We're speaking truth, so don't stop now.
29:18You'll know that you faced cancer with the same determination that took the articulates to fame.
29:22The same determination that made you an ego.
29:25When the path is blocked, Anita Dupree does not wait for miracles.
29:28She makes one.
29:31You think a lot of me.
29:34I've seen what you can do.
29:41Well, I...
29:43I take it my work here is done?
29:52You can see yourself out, yeah?
29:56Yeah.
29:58You can see yourself out, yeah?
30:01Yeah.
30:02You can see yourself out, yeah?
30:06You're away.
30:07You can see yourself out, yeah.
30:07When do you have any plans to make your life out?
30:08Don't worry about this.
30:13I'll see you.
30:17I'll see you again soon.
30:20I'll see you next time.
30:21Bye!
30:22Bye!
30:23Bye!
30:24Bye!
30:24Bye!
30:26Bye!
30:42¡Gracias!
30:59¡Gracias!
31:07Dr. McCormick, this is Anita Dupree.
31:11All right, Monica.
31:14I want to take you up on your offer to consult on my case.
31:19I need all the help I can get.
31:22The twins would always need a cool-down phase after a blow-up.
31:27Donnell would come around pretty quickly after he had a chance to think, but...
31:33Deanna...
31:34She was needed a little more time to sift through her feelings.
31:40And waiting isn't exactly your strong suit.
31:43Like it's yours.
31:46I'll let you in on a secret.
31:49I got where I am mostly by grit and trusting my gut.
31:54I would love to do that, but...
31:57I'm just feeling off kilter right now.
32:00Well, that's my point.
32:01Sometimes even the mighty need a little divine guidance.
32:05Is this the gambling Buddha talking?
32:08Emphasis on the gambling.
32:09What I'm suggesting is that you play the odds.
32:13The odds are Deanna will come back.
32:16She always has before, right?
32:20Good.
32:22Then let me take care of you.
32:25Come with me.
32:28I have something for you.
32:30Joey was there for me, Viva.
32:32When nobody else was.
32:35Thank God for that.
32:37I'm glad you can share all of this with me.
32:40And you're okay with it?
32:42I mean, I know you were a bad boy turned Banneker man.
32:46But now I know how you got there.
32:49Yeah.
32:50I owe Joey so much.
32:53Even my relationship with you.
32:56How do you figure that?
32:59Well, if I'd kept on that other path, I might not be here with you right now.
33:04Matter of fact, that may not be anywhere.
33:08But I really do believe that no matter what, the universe would have brought us together.
33:15So, now you almost know everything.
33:19Except, I really do.
33:22Words can wait.
33:24I have something else in mind.
33:35Is that the key to your heart?
33:38Not quite.
33:39It's the key to my new place.
33:41You can come and go as you please, on your terms.
33:44No strings, or conditions.
33:47And what is the protocol for just stopping by, just in case?
33:52Well, I'm not interested in seeing anyone, nor do I intend to.
33:56I am not ready to reciprocate.
34:00And I wasn't expecting you to.
34:01And what if I don't choose your column in the end?
34:06I've learned the hard way that life is too short.
34:10I'm not interested in playing games, and I'm also not about having any regrets.
34:17I have one condition.
34:19Name it.
34:21Don't make me guess.
34:23What do you want for your housewarming?
34:27That property line looks a little off.
34:31Apparently, it is.
34:34I'd say, by about an inch.
34:38It was you.
34:41You doused my shell, spit me work.
34:46I've told you before.
34:48It's Senator Dupree to you.
34:51Well, thanks to you, I've had one hell of a day, Senator.
34:56Whatever do you mean?
35:01You know, I've played nice with you Dupree's.
35:05Since when?
35:07I took to the sidelines on Winterfest, and I did not make one scene.
35:12And then when you and Anita tried to stiff me with the lunch for the articulates that I paid good
35:19money for, I just let it slide.
35:22But thanks, Vernon.
35:24I can only be pushed so far.
35:28You're wrong about that.
35:32I have only begun to push.
35:37Game on.
35:43Next, on Beyond the Gates.
35:45Sometimes I wonder if this is a dream that you wake up from right when it feels good.
35:52Let's find out.
35:52If Carlton and Kyle were cars, who would you drive for 100,000 miles?
35:56It is not a competition.
35:58Conceivably, you could keep both.
36:00I want to sign a do not resuscitate order.
36:03I haven't been able to stop Anita from doing what she wants a day in our lives.
36:08Smitty, listen.
36:09No, you listen.
36:11We said if this got out of hand, if this got dangerous, we would pull the plug.
36:15Well, Jacob, it's dangerous.
36:44You can tell us about some of these.
36:47Gracias.
