00:04¡Gracias!
00:30A regular menu today.
00:31Oh, if you're sure.
00:33Oh, we're very sure.
00:34As you wish.
00:35But before you go, would you mind bringing us two ginger ales?
00:38I'm feeling a little parched.
00:41Of course.
00:42Vernon, you don't have to deprive yourself
00:45just because my stomach can't handle Creole cuisine today.
00:49I know how much you love your etouffee.
00:51I love you more.
00:53And there's no way I'm gonna shovel spicy food
00:57en mi cara, en frente de ti,
01:00cuando el cámaro está wreando havoc con tu apetite.
01:03Creo que es lo que les meantan cuando dicen
01:06en la salud y en la salud.
01:08Voy a tomar cualquier cosa que pueda hacer.
01:11Hey, vamos a celebrar el Mardi Gras en Nueva Orleans.
01:17¿Qué piensas?
01:18No, vamos a hacer lo que está en el Big Easy.
01:23Vamos a celebrar la celebración de ti.
01:25No, vamos a celebrar la realidad que quiero.
01:32Como mi madre siempre dice,
01:34si quieres, lo que quieres, lo que te quiero.
01:37Y si lo creemos fuerte,
01:40tal vez que podemos manifestar nuestra desejar.
01:45Anita, es una gran coincidencia.
01:49Estaba pensando en lo que te decía.
01:52Sí, sí, sí.
02:23But I understand them.
02:24I probably would react the same way
02:26if something like that happened to your mother.
02:28And I'd be right behind you
02:29nailing that son of a bitch to the wall.
02:32Yeah.
02:32So tell me you got some good news about your case, Elise.
02:36Are we any close to bringing this plasma ring down?
02:39As a matter of fact,
02:41we are.
03:14I heard about what happened with Hayley.
03:17It was crazy.
03:19I mean, one minute I'm walking to my car
03:20and the next minute Hayley's screaming.
03:25Like, I knew I wouldn't be able to pull the guy off of her,
03:27so I did, like, the best thing I knew how.
03:29I just, I yelled to the top of my lungs
03:32and I tried to draw as much attention to myself as possible, you know?
03:36Well, fortunately it worked.
03:38And I guess it might have just scared the mugger
03:40because he just ran off.
03:43I guess the saying is true.
03:46Criminals are cowards.
03:49That all sounds so unreal.
03:52You probably saved Hayley's life.
03:54I just did what anybody would have done.
03:57Definitely not.
03:59Most people wouldn't have done anything at all.
04:02Hayley was damn lucky that you were there when she needed you.
04:06Do you need me to come back to the hotel?
04:08Bill, don't be ridiculous, okay?
04:10Caroline just left.
04:12Well, I should have had her stay with you
04:13until I wrap things up here.
04:15Babe, that wasn't necessary.
04:17You needed her back at the office
04:18and I'm perfectly fine here at the hotel,
04:21especially with a guard at the door.
04:24Okay, baby, I have to go, all right?
04:26I will see you when you get back.
04:29Okay.
04:33Yes?
04:34Ma'am, you have a visitor?
04:36Who is it?
04:38Me.
04:45If you're looking for your father,
04:47he isn't here.
04:48I actually came to see you
04:50and check on how you're doing.
04:52Hmm.
04:53Thank me, son.
04:55Ouch.
04:57I keep telling myself it's not as obvious as I think.
05:00No, no, it looks better.
05:02If I hadn't just seen you after it happened,
05:04I probably wouldn't have even noticed.
05:06How are you feeling?
05:09Almost back to normal.
05:11Well, as normal as possible,
05:13being guarded 24-7 in this ivory tower.
05:17Yeah.
05:17When you dream of being a princess as a child,
05:20you never think about how lonely it can be.
05:23Well, you can't blame my dad
05:25for being overprotective
05:27given the circumstance.
05:29Attacked while walking to your car?
05:32That could have happened to any one of us.
05:36You crazy bitch!
05:38Well, that isn't a moment I am keen on reliving.
05:42Oh, no, of course not.
05:43I'm sorry.
05:44Um, is there anything I can do for you?
05:49Actually, Naomi, there is.
05:53Tell me why you're really here.
05:56I couldn't have just walked away
05:58or stood there
06:00and watched Haley be assaulted.
06:04I mean, I'm the reason why she was there
06:06in the first place.
06:08But why was that?
06:10Haley shouldn't have been meeting with you
06:12about your case without my knowledge.
06:15I'm your attorney, Libet,
06:17and you should have come to me
06:18with any questions or requests.
06:20Haley's just a paralegal.
06:23Just a paralegal?
06:26Well, I'm surprised that you're
06:28talking down on her responsibilities and ability.
06:32I mean, especially since she's your boss's wife, Tomas.
06:35Don't get me wrong.
06:37Haley is great at her job.
06:39But my job is to represent you
06:42and attend to your legal needs.
06:44If you needed something for your case,
06:47you should have reached out to me.
06:51So this Wren,
06:52he's a mid-level guy in the organization?
06:54Yep.
06:54And I want his trust.
06:56I'm this close to him making me one of the couriers.
06:59And when he does, and hopefully soon,
07:01then I'll be the one making the drops.
07:02And we'll be that much closer
07:04to shutting down this red market ring for good.
07:06This close?
07:07Once that happens,
07:08that's all you got?
07:10Pops, my assignment was to
07:11infiltrate the plasma ring,
07:12learn who's behind it,
07:14and get evidence to bring him down.
07:15I know what your assignment is.
07:17I remember the way you pleaded for it.
07:19I've only been on this case a short amount of time,
07:21and I'm already on the inside
07:22and finding out a lot of the answers that we need.
07:25Would it kill you to admit I'm doing a good job?
07:29Leslie, my husband and I were hoping
07:31to have a nice, quiet lunch alone.
07:35Oh, I won't take up too much of your time,
07:37but I always believe in going straight to the top.
07:41The top of what?
07:43I need to schedule my lunch
07:45with you and the other articulates.
07:48So just go on and whip out that phone of yours, girl,
07:50so we can pick a date right now.
07:53Excuse me?
07:53Leslie, surely we can discuss this at some other time.
07:58But I can't wait to sit down with the three women
08:01who knew my mama best.
08:03I have so many questions to ask.
08:06And we will be happy to answer them some other time.
08:10When?
08:11How soon can we articulates,
08:14articulate adjacent sit down and break bread together?
08:19Because, honey, my schedule is wide open.
08:33I'm sorry if you weren't given the necessary information
08:37at the time of the auction.
08:39Someone from the Winterfest organizing committee
08:42should have told you there are procedures you need to do
08:45in order to claim an auction item.
08:48I paid $10,000, and the check cleared.
08:52So what procedures do you need?
08:56When it comes to items such as personal lunches,
09:00there are proper channels you have to go through
09:03to set a date that works for everyone involved.
09:06But I'm here now.
09:08We don't need any silly channels.
09:10The point is,
09:11you're not going to be able to set the lunch date for some time.
09:15Why not?
09:16Because Sharon and Tracy are on tour.
09:19Oh, okay.
09:20Then when are my articulates aunties coming back?
09:25Okay, I am dying to spill the tea
09:28and also take a lot of photos
09:31and just blast those suckers all over social media.
09:35Leslie, Thomas, and the articulates.
09:38Not until the end of spring,
09:39or probably even longer.
09:42The tour is going so well,
09:44I wouldn't be the least bit surprised
09:46if it was extended.
09:48Exactly.
09:49So you should probably be looking at
09:51the fall, if then.
09:57I see what's going on, you two.
10:00And you're not going to get away with it.
10:03I beg your pardon?
10:05Beg all you want.
10:07I know how you and Sharon and Tracy
10:10disrespected my mother all those years ago.
10:13And I'm not about to allow a remake.
10:17Christmas has been over, Anita Dupree,
10:20so you can stop with these reindeer games.
10:23This is not a game.
10:26I won the lunch
10:28with the articulates fair and square.
10:31And I will be damned
10:32if I'm going to let you weasel your way up out of it.
10:39While I can understand
10:40why you'd question my sincerity,
10:43I am not a monster, Hayley.
10:45I can hate what you did to my family
10:47and to our friendship, for that matter,
10:49and still feel for you being violently attacked.
10:53You could have been killed.
10:55Some people might think that
10:57that would be karmic retribution
10:59for all the things I've done.
11:01Yeah, well, some people are idiots.
11:03Well, I'm pretty sure your mother
11:04is one of those people.
11:06I bet Danny thinks my beating
11:08is no more than I deserve.
11:11Well, I'm sorry that my reaction disappointed you.
11:14I must have confused this station
11:16for some place where you get a cookie
11:18for basic competence
11:19or doing the bare minimum of decent police work.
11:22I'm not asking for that.
11:23Well, then stop acting like it.
11:24Look, I give credit when it's due.
11:26This isn't like the Cove Scouts
11:28when you got all in your feelings
11:29because they didn't give you your merit badge
11:31as fast as you thought you were entitled to it.
11:33Look, I'm not asking to be praised
11:34or commended or any of that.
11:35Dude, what do you want?
11:36I want some damn respect.
11:46I guess it must have slipped your mind
11:48that not only am I your father, boy,
11:50I am your superior officer.
11:52No, sir.
11:52Good.
11:53That's more like it.
11:55Jacob, I get that you're eager
11:58and you want to make your mark
11:59and you see this case
12:00as your big opportunity.
12:02Of course I want to be
12:03the best detective out here.
12:04But this wasn't some career move.
12:06I didn't take this undercover gig
12:07just so I can climb the ladder.
12:08Good.
12:09Because this is bigger than that.
12:10These people that you're messing with, son,
12:12that you're dealing with,
12:13they don't mess around.
12:15Lives are on the line.
12:16I get that.
12:17And they're attacking the weakest among us,
12:20getting them to sell their plasma for dirt cheap
12:22just so they can move it on the global red market.
12:23But don't let that take your eye off the big picture.
12:26I'm not, pops, okay?
12:27I hear that clock ticking.
12:29Every day that goes by,
12:31there's another chance
12:32of some unvetted plasma
12:33getting into the city's blood supply.
12:35Even people here in our own neighborhood
12:36could die as a result.
12:37Yeah.
12:38You take these scumbags down,
12:41but you have to be smart about it
12:43so you come home safe.
12:45A cop's life is constantly in danger.
12:46It's the nature of the job.
12:47Who are you telling?
12:48I knew the nature of the job
12:50back when you were stinking up your diaper.
12:52Now, of course,
12:53our lives are at risk
12:55every time we put the shield on some,
12:56but this undercover work
12:57is a specific kind of danger.
13:00This red market ring that you're in for trade,
13:02if you do your job right
13:04and you gain their trust,
13:07they'll be coming to look at you
13:08as one of their own.
13:09Good.
13:09Then you'll be like family to them.
13:12And if they learn
13:13that one of their own members of their family
13:15betrayed them
13:15before we managed to bring them in,
13:18then God help you, son.
13:21Are you seriously standing there
13:23complaining about somebody
13:25trying to weasel their way out of something
13:27when you consistently
13:28try to weasel your way
13:30into my family's lives?
13:31I'm demanding my rights.
13:33The right to tick me off
13:34because you're doing that so very well.
13:36Leslie, will you please
13:38go through the proper channels
13:40as Anita suggested?
13:42Huh?
13:43We don't need all of this.
13:44Besides, you're upsetting my wife.
13:47She's upset?
13:48What about me?
13:49I paid good money for this lunch
13:52and I am not about to wait around
13:54a whole year
13:55just to cash in on it.
13:59What do you think you're doing?
14:02Having lunch.
14:04With the articulates.
14:06Well, at least one of them.
14:09We've been working on a motion to dismiss
14:11and are just about ready to file it
14:13once we've nailed down a few points.
14:16So when will my case be dismissed?
14:19That will depend on the judge's calendar
14:21and the ruling, of course.
14:23There is one way
14:24that we could resolve this issue
14:26relatively quickly.
14:28Wonderful.
14:30One of the advantages
14:31of working with our firm
14:32is, in addition to our legal expertise,
14:34we have good working relationships
14:36with the assistant U.S. attorneys
14:37and the U.S.A. itself.
14:39There's actually a pretty good offer
14:41on the table for you to plead
14:43to a much lesser charge
14:45with no jail time whatsoever,
14:46just probation.
14:48No.
14:50I'm innocent.
14:52I understand that, Renee.
14:53But I wouldn't be doing my job
14:55if I didn't convey this offer to you.
14:57And as I said,
14:58it's a good one.
14:59I think I can make it even better.
15:02Better than being found innocent?
15:05Well...
15:05You are not hearing me.
15:08I don't want to plead to anything.
15:12I want my charges completely dropped.
15:15And if you're working towards that...
15:17Then work faster.
15:20Or should I get your boss involved
15:22to see some real results?
15:25My mother may despise you
15:27and for good reason,
15:29but she doesn't wish you dead.
15:31And I really hope you don't say
15:33things like that around my dad.
15:34I suppose you're right.
15:36Danny did try to come to my rescue
15:39back when I lost my baby.
15:42Just another example
15:44of karmic payback, I suppose.
15:46Okay, Haley,
15:47you have got to stop with that.
15:49God and or the universe
15:51didn't make you miscarry your baby
15:53because of what you did
15:54to my parents' marriage.
15:55Any more than you being the victim
15:57of a violent attack
15:58was the result of some cosmic forces.
16:01Okay?
16:02That is just your guilt talking.
16:04And while I suppose it's a good thing
16:06you're still capable of feeling it,
16:08this one time
16:10you have nothing to feel guilty about.
16:13It's not like you somehow
16:15made yourself get mugged.
16:18Thank you, Naomi.
16:20Look, I don't deserve your kindness.
16:23And when I had your friendship,
16:26I didn't value it the way I should have.
16:28Well, you'll get no argument from me there.
16:30But you're still in my life.
16:33Although, in another way,
16:36you are still comforting me,
16:38even as my stepdaughter.
16:42Do you think that
16:44we could ever be
16:45close again?
16:56There's no need to involve Bill.
16:58I am more than capable
16:59of representing you.
17:00I've got your case
17:01completely under control.
17:02See, that's the thing, Thomas.
17:04I'm not so sure about that.
17:06I think our problem here
17:08is communication.
17:09You're right.
17:10That is the problem.
17:12You have a problem
17:13with hearing and comprehending my needs.
17:16And now that I've heard them,
17:18my marching orders are clear.
17:21Glad we're on the same page.
17:23But I need you to understand
17:24where I'm coming from as well.
17:26I am your point person at the firm.
17:29And when you need something,
17:30you need to come to me.
17:31Not Haley, or Bill even,
17:33for that matter.
17:34For example,
17:35not only did I prepare
17:37the documents Haley delivered,
17:39our office would have
17:40delivered them to you
17:41by messenger.
17:42And Haley never would have
17:44been in danger.
17:47Excuse me.
17:48I have to take this.
17:52Hey, I'm in the middle of something.
17:54Then get out of here
17:55and get your ass down
17:56to Uptown ASAP.
17:58I'll let you take your call.
17:59I just wanted to say
18:00that in the future,
18:01there would be no need
18:01for you to reach out to Haley
18:03and ask her to bring her anything.
18:05I never gave Haley those papers.
18:06She was the one who brought them
18:07to me in the first place.
18:09What?
18:10Lynnette, did you hear me?
18:11Yeah, girl, I heard you.
18:13You got a situation.
18:15I'll be right there.
18:16Okay, so see you soon.
18:19We good?
18:21Yeah.
18:24What did I just walk in on?
18:26Nothing.
18:28Don't say that, Bill.
18:30I just told Naomi that
18:31I think what happened to me
18:33was a result of my karma
18:35for all the hurtful things
18:36that I've done,
18:36and she talked me down
18:39from my guilt.
18:40Oh.
18:40Well, that was very kind
18:41of you, sweetheart.
18:42Thank you for easing
18:43my wife's concerns.
18:46Unjustified as they might be.
18:47That's not a problem.
18:49I'm just happy to know
18:50that Haley's physically okay.
18:52Oh, thank goodness for that,
18:53but she won't really feel safe
18:54again until her attacker
18:55is behind bars.
18:56Oh, well, that's not
18:57likely to happen,
18:58and we'll just have
18:59to accept it.
19:01Good luck with that.
19:02Yeah, right.
19:03You know your dad well.
19:04When it comes to protecting
19:04my family, acceptance
19:05is never an option.
19:07Have you been harassing
19:09the chief of police?
19:11Yeah, hourly.
19:12And there still hasn't been
19:13any forward movement at all?
19:15They haven't even identified
19:16Haley's attacker?
19:17Nope, nothing, not yet.
19:18And I can barely get anything
19:20out of Elon about how
19:21the investigation is going.
19:23Did Jacob mention anything
19:24to you about it?
19:25Uh, no, but he hasn't
19:27been home much,
19:28so we haven't had a chance
19:29to discuss it.
19:32Uh, I don't like the sound
19:34of that.
19:35Are you two having problems
19:36again?
19:37Oh, Naomi, and you just
19:39let me go on and on
19:40about my feelings?
19:41Okay, everything between
19:42Jacob and me is fine.
19:44You don't have to worry
19:44about it, Dad.
19:45He's just been really
19:46busy at work.
19:47No, apparently not busy
19:49enough since Haley's
19:50attacker is still on the
19:51loose.
19:52Well, if I hear anything,
19:53I promise I will let you
19:54know.
19:55And I meant it when I
19:56offered you help, Haley,
19:57if there's anything.
20:00Just you being here for me
20:01is enough.
20:04Glad I could help.
20:06Feel better.
20:07Thanks, Naomi, for
20:10everything.
20:11No problem.
20:13Bye, Dad.
20:14Bye, baby.
20:18Pops, I'll be fine.
20:19I passed a specialized
20:21training course the
20:22department offers to
20:22prepare us to go
20:23undercover.
20:23Okay, so you passed
20:24some tests.
20:25It's not the same as
20:26real preparation.
20:27It gave us practical
20:28knowledge, like how I
20:31had to maneuver to make
20:31sure I wasn't being
20:32tailed coming into the
20:33station this morning.
20:34From the rear, okay?
20:36The instructor gave us
20:37practical exercises on
20:39surveillance and
20:40counter-surveillance and
20:41informant management, and
20:42the psychosocial aspects of
20:44going under, Pops, I aced
20:45them all.
20:46I'm trained and prepared.
20:48Thinking you're prepared
20:49isn't the same as being
20:50good to go.
20:51Hell, you got doctors that
20:52ace mad school and then
20:53turn around and lose their
20:54lunch in the ER the second
20:55they see real blood.
20:56Well, thanks for the vote
20:57of confidence.
20:57T, this back and forth that
20:59you're doing?
20:59You don't even have to go
21:00there.
21:01If I didn't think that you
21:02could handle this, your
21:03behind would be back
21:04behind that desk.
21:05and not out in the streets
21:06trying to infiltrate these
21:07bloodsuckers, son, of course
21:09I want you to excel in your
21:11assignment the same way you
21:12did in that class, but I
21:13need you to understand that
21:14there's a big difference
21:15between doing well in the
21:16course and successfully
21:18bringing down a criminal
21:19enterprise from the inside.
21:20And I need you to treat that
21:21distinction with the
21:22respect that it deserves.
21:24I will, okay?
21:25I'll do a good job.
21:26I just need you to trust me.
21:29I just hope that I can trust
21:30you to have the good sense to
21:32take care of yourself, too,
21:33son.
21:34Of course.
21:34Good, because I don't know
21:35what I would do if something
21:36that happens to you.
21:39Not that I would have a whole
21:40lot of time to think about it
21:41because your mother would kill
21:43me.
21:46Me and the articulists go
21:47way back.
21:49I mean, I was a itty-bitty
21:51when I could barely clap in
21:55time to the music.
21:57Is that so?
21:58Yeah, yeah.
22:00You know, you're, well, I mean,
22:03my mother's group really played
22:04a big role in my life.
22:07Maybe that should have been a
22:09sign that we were all connected.
22:12I mean, it's like our bond is
22:14just unbreakable.
22:16Isn't that right, Anita?
22:19How's it go?
22:22That's her together.
22:25Come on, Anita.
22:26Don't let me hang in.
22:27You know the words.
22:28Nope.
22:29I'm not doing it.
22:30No fun.
22:32I know.
22:33And isn't that a shame?
22:35Maybe you don't want that
22:36lunch after all.
22:39Nice try.
22:41Now, this might be a little
22:43bit TMI.
22:45You know, frankly, Leslie,
22:46everything that comes out of
22:47your mouth is too much.
22:49Oh, Anita.
22:51Now, if I was a little bit
22:52more sensitive, that might
22:55hurt my feelings.
22:56But I forgive you this time.
23:00Okay.
23:02So this is going to knock your
23:04socks off.
23:07I lost my virginity to the
23:11Arteculex, baby.
23:16What you mean, Fern?
23:17I need them to cancel the rest of
23:19our order.
23:21Oh, Fernan, I know you didn't just
23:23lose your appetite over a little
23:24sex talk.
23:25You are a man of the world.
23:29And as I was saying, Anita, there you were.
23:34You and Sharon and Tracy all up in my room
23:38singing, let's get closer.
23:41Oh.
23:41And there I was with my man, my boyfriend.
23:47And I let him get just as close as he wanted to get.
23:54Why in the world would I need to know that?
23:58I just want to emphasize how much it means to me since I paid a fortune for that lunch.
24:07Senator Dupree, what can I do for you?
24:09Could you please?
24:10Oh, listen, I need a refill, baby, okay?
24:13All right, now listen, not too much ice this time, would you, Q-sip?
24:16Yes, ma'am.
24:17In the meantime, could I offer you guys some
24:19hot crab dip or hudan balls?
24:22Yes and yes, Anita, Fernan, my treat.
24:26No, I like my crab dip cold.
24:30I don't know, girl, you don't know what you're missing.
24:32I mean, listen, it's always better, hotter and spicier, okay?
24:38Because, see, that's when you know it's good.
24:40Because it just goes down, it just burns all through your esophagus.
24:44I'll take our check and cancel the rest of our order.
24:49What?
24:50Hold up, you're leaving going?
24:52Yeah.
24:52That's closer.
24:53I have a previously scheduled appointment.
24:57That you just remembered.
24:59Hey, Banneker is hoping to convince my wife to perform a jazz set at their summer concert series.
25:07That's right, is that today?
25:09I completely forgot.
25:10Leslie, we have to go.
25:12But do stay and enjoy the rest of lunch.
25:15Vernon?
25:16Mm-hmm.
25:17Okay.
25:19Oh!
25:22Anita!
25:28Here's some water, sweetheart.
25:30Thank you.
25:31You're probably a little dehydrated.
25:33Should we call a doctor, Anita?
25:35You don't look so good.
25:37I'm fine.
25:38Just got a little lightheaded.
25:40No wonder.
25:41The way that Vernon rushed you up off your feet and didn't even give you a chance to eat anything.
25:46Let the Banneker shirts wait.
25:48I'm gonna call for some of that hot crab dip for you and have it at the table, okay?
25:53It'll help get your blood sugar up.
25:55No.
25:55No.
25:56No.
25:56No thank you.
25:57No, I insist.
25:58I mean, you are probably collapsing from hunger.
26:01Sweetheart, do you feel like you can stand?
26:04Let the woman eat something damn, Vern.
26:07The name is Vernon.
26:09Senator Dupree would be even better.
26:13Okay, sheesh.
26:15Such formality for an old friend of the family.
26:18Not my family.
26:19Leslie, Winterfest will refund you the money from the auction because this lunch is definitely over.
26:27No, no, but that was for charity.
26:30Um, rest assured, the charity will be protected.
26:34We will make up the difference.
26:35No, no, let's not be hasty, all right?
26:37You guys keep the money.
26:38I have plenty.
26:40And let's do that little procedure thingy and reschedule when all the articulates are available.
26:46I mean, those proper channels you were talking about.
26:50Yeah, it is the fall, you say.
26:53Or the turn of the next century, Vernon.
26:56Let's go.
27:00Why am I here?
27:02Bill wants the guy who attacked his wife, found, and put behind bars.
27:07Well, I'm not a guy.
27:10And I don't intend on being caught.
27:12So he's flat out of luck.
27:15You got me here like this is some type of emergency, Randy.
27:19Oh, because it is.
27:21Joey Armstrong wants Bill to owe him a favor.
27:23And now he is on my ass to find the mugger.
27:26And if I don't deliver, let's just say Joey will be a little less than enthused.
27:31Well, that sounds like a you problem, not a us problem.
27:37How was your shower?
27:39Refreshing.
27:39You're right.
27:41You're right.
27:41It's what I needed.
27:43Good.
27:44That's good.
27:46What's wrong?
27:48Are you still stressing about my attack?
27:50Well, yeah, of course I am.
27:52But, you know, I was just thinking about what Naomi said earlier.
27:55About her and Jacob?
27:57Yeah, yeah.
27:58You picked up on that too?
27:59Yeah, but we might be making something out of nothing.
28:03I don't know.
28:05I mean, I know she and Jacob have been really busy, but Naomi sounded like whatever's going
28:10on is something new.
28:13I wonder what Jacob could be doing that's taking him away from his wife so much.
28:20Smitty, I took the loyalty test.
28:23Yeah, I don't know if I passed yet.
28:25I just have to wait and see.
28:27You've seen how these guys operate.
28:29It can go either way.
28:31Yeah.
28:32The next time I see Ren, either I'm getting my first assignment or a bullet between the
28:36eyes.
28:41I gotta go.
28:42More later.
28:47Jacob!
28:48You scared the life out of me!
28:50I'm sorry.
28:52You look different.
28:54Yeah, it kind of goes with the assignment.
28:58Well, are you okay?
28:59Why are you sitting here in the dark?
29:01I didn't want to risk anyone knowing I was here.
29:04You're getting deeper into that investigation, aren't you?
29:07I figured as much as I haven't seen you for days.
29:10I am.
29:12And you might not hear from me for a while.
29:15Okay.
29:17Define a while.
29:18A week?
29:21Longer?
29:23I can't say.
29:25You can't or you won't?
29:28A little bit of both.
29:30And there's more.
29:34Tell me.
29:36I'm moving out.
29:43It's my fault that you're feeling so bad.
29:46I should have taken command of the situation sooner and demanded that Leslie leave.
29:52Please don't blame yourself for a thing.
29:55Leslie will always be Leslie.
29:58And as far as me not feeling well, well, we can't even blame her for that.
30:02Hmm.
30:04Unfortunately, in my condition, I have my good moments and I have my bad moments.
30:09And you helped me have a good moment today by not treating me like I'm too frail to handle Leslie
30:14Thomas.
30:15Even after I almost fell over.
30:17But you were right there to catch me.
30:19Any excuse to have you in my arms?
30:22No.
30:22Leslie was lucky that you weren't feeling 100%.
30:26Or I would have snatched her behind up out of that chair like we did in Chicago back in the
30:31day.
30:31Oh, that would have been a sight to see.
30:34Well, I think I would need to save that pleasure for when Anastasia is present.
30:40Wouldn't want to rob her of the opportunity to spread a tasty bit of Dupree gossip throughout Barrington County.
30:47Extra, extra. Read all about it.
30:49Anita Dupree snatches Leslie Thomas up out of Fairmont Grand Country Club by her silk press.
31:00Oh, thank you for that.
31:03I almost forgot about being sick.
31:06Mm-hmm.
31:07Well, let's build on that theme.
31:09Why don't we go home and watch one of those old screwball comedies you like so much?
31:16I would love that.
31:18Mm-hmm.
31:19My man, Godfrey?
31:21Yes.
31:22My man, Vernon.
31:24Mm-hmm.
31:29You look very content.
31:30Mm-hmm.
31:31I am.
31:32Yeah?
31:33Well, it seems that Naomi's visit did you a world of good.
31:36Mm-hmm.
31:36Not to say that I told you so.
31:37But you will.
31:39Well, I did tell you that she'd come around eventually.
31:42Okay.
31:43I'm sorry.
31:44But, you know, I am really glad Naomi came to see me.
31:49Yeah.
31:50Even more that she appeared to be concerned about what happened to me.
31:54Yeah, of course she is.
31:56I don't know.
31:58Don't read too much into it.
31:59But I doubt you and I will be going on any double dates with her and Jacob again anytime soon.
32:15I don't know who you think you talking to, but you might want to take some of that bass out
32:21your voice.
32:22I ain't one of your little marks.
32:24Then stop acting like it.
32:28Go handle your business and stop whining to me about it like a little bitch.
32:37You want me to handle my business?
32:39Mm-hmm.
32:39Bad.
32:40Then this is how we gonna play this.
32:43If I go down, you and Haley are going right along with me.
32:49Now, go run tell that.
32:56You're moving out.
32:57I'm getting a second place.
32:58Just until this case is closed.
33:00Is that really necessary?
33:02What does your father think about this?
33:04It's standard protocol anytime you go as deep undercover as I am.
33:07And besides, he reminded me today that I'm not the only one taking a risk in this investigation.
33:14I can't chance that somebody that I'm working with will follow me back here.
33:17Jacob, you know how to ditch a tale.
33:19And I will be fine.
33:21And if ever I'm not, I'm sure my father or the department would be willing to post a guard.
33:25I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I brought danger to our doorstep, Naomi.
33:29If something were to happen to you, my life wouldn't be worth living.
33:34Okay, fine.
33:35Well, what's the address of this new place?
33:37No.
33:39I'm not gonna visit you, Jacob.
33:40I just wanna know where you are.
33:41You can't.
33:42And that's final.
33:46Well, what if I need to get in touch with you?
33:48What if there's an emergency?
33:51A burner?
33:52Yes.
33:53I have my own.
33:54And I put my number in there in case you need it.
33:57But only in the case of an emergency should you call me.
33:59And when you do, use this burner to call mine.
34:02Never use your real phone.
34:03Yeah.
34:04I understand.
34:04Only in the case of an emergency, all right?
34:08We have to keep this super close to the vest.
34:10You never know who could be watching or listening.
34:12God, I hate this.
34:15I hate not knowing where you are.
34:17I hate not knowing what could be happening to you.
34:19I hate all the secrecy, too.
34:21And I can't wait until I can explain everything to you.
34:25I get it.
34:27And I know that this is your job and that danger comes with the territory, but this feels different.
34:35Because it is.
34:36The stakes are much higher.
34:38The people I'm working to take down are playing for keeps.
34:41But so am I.
34:43Okay, just promise me.
34:45Promise me you will be careful, okay?
34:48Believe me.
34:49The plan is to come back home to you safely, all right?
34:54All right, I gotta go.
34:55Wait, wait, wait.
34:55Already?
34:57Why?
34:57It's been so long since we've had a chance to be in the same room.
35:01Well, then we should make the most of it, then.
35:25What's wrong?
35:27Nothing.
35:28It's just, like you said, this feels different.
35:48I don't have a chance whatever happened.
35:51I'm just Neenahjustz.
35:53What if you can bring?
35:56However, I don't have to lie.
36:01How does that happen?
36:02We can get into those departments.
36:02What procreugation here.
36:05The powers and the metopsies are always getting been kept, don't you?
36:08Then you can do it!
36:17Now..amsabili
