00:33I got your text message. I'm sorry. I didn't write back.
00:37Danny, what is it?
00:40I was at Uptown with Haley.
00:43I thought you said you were going to stay away from her.
00:45I was. She found me. And you have to believe me. I didn't want it to happen. There was so
00:51much blood.
00:53Hey, what happened? What are you talking about? Was there an accident?
00:56I think I made Haley lose her baby.
01:00Oh, yeah. Danny caught me before I got on the plane. She told me what happened.
01:03I went to the hospital, but you had already left, so just tell me, baby. Are you okay?
01:09No, Bill. I'm not okay. I lost the baby.
01:19Oh, God. Love.

05:23come on ashley make a decision
05:32here have a sip
05:38more
05:43okay
05:46here now talk to me what happened
05:50i was so sure andre and i was so wrong wrong about what hayley
05:57we were going back and forth like we always do she called me old and manless i accused her of
06:02faking her pregnancy and then she doubled over and at first i thought she was faking it we've been
06:07through this song and dance a couple weeks ago she cried miscarriage and she was absolutely fine
06:12right and this time was different she came back from the
06:18she came back from the bathroom with blood all over her
06:22she wasn't lying
06:24danny did someone at least call 9-1-1
06:26she ran out of uptown and went to the hospital with some man she didn't even know all because
06:32she couldn't stand to be in the same car as me
06:35so she left with a stranger
06:37with some guy named sammy
06:39i mean hayley preferred a total stranger to me and i can't say i blame her
06:45andre andre what have i done
06:48do you hear what i said oh yeah i heard you i just don't know if you've lost your damn
06:53mind for
06:54suggesting it or i lost my mind for not getting up from this table yet i know i know joey's
06:59the
06:59big bad wolf except he's not he's only human then he is more human than the rest of us
07:05look a lot's happened between vanessa and i since i got you out of here
07:11i'm guessing nothing good seeing as how you're proposing this hail mary
07:15but this place just isn't sustainable for us anymore
07:19joey's never gonna back down he's never gonna play nice
07:22then how is that a reason for me to go up against him
07:26because you're my friend
07:28and you owe me one
07:31listen to me doug
07:33you will be the first person to attempt to get rid of joey
07:37and those guys they are not here to tell that tale but the difference is i have him dead
07:42rights to money laundering follow the money like a poem
07:47but if he gets pulled in for that then there's no way he doesn't know it was you
07:51that set him up
07:52yeah true
07:55but i mean if i go to the police that'll lead him straight to my wife and i can't sentence
07:59vanessa to 20 years in an orange jumpsuit so what's your play we pivot
08:07forget about the hustle that joey has with my wife's company we have to think big
08:14something like murder
08:20oh vanessa that face that body that brain
08:28you could launch a thousand ships you could make men do crazy things
08:32even perhaps men their ways but you've been dougs for a long time
08:37now how do i know he's not immune to your influence
08:41because he's also been mine for a long time
08:44based on the call i overheard he's forgotten who he is
08:48and who i am
08:51doug's given into his vices yes but i have to own my part in his spiral
08:56he senses what's going on between us and
08:59he's processing what it all means to him
09:03a real man manages his business even when a woman rips his heart out
09:09let me ask you
09:11do you still plan to share your percentage of our operation with him because he can't have his cake and
09:17eat it too
09:17we haven't discussed what will happen to my cut
09:19then let me help you
09:21your commission isn't worth his wounded pride
09:25he doesn't get to judge and threaten our venture while profiting from it
09:30you don't know him like i do he gave me his word joey
09:35it's over
09:36you don't have to give doug another thought
09:40why are we talking about murder doug
09:44it's not like i haven't thought about
09:46getting rid of the man who's been christening casino tables with my wife
09:52so they are involved
09:55vanessa also she's always preferred the thrill of danger
09:59the dark side
10:00and you're sure
10:02i almost walked in on him a couple times
10:05a man knows these things
10:08brother i am sorry
10:11i saw her sidled up to joey
10:12thanking him for doing her favors
10:16some business
10:16some personal
10:19but
10:20joey doesn't typically make a habit of
10:22mixing business with pleasure
10:24huh
10:26knowing my wife's special to the devil doesn't really
10:28ease the blow
10:30look vanessa and i don't have the perfect marriage by far
10:33but just knowing that what's happening right under my nose
10:36and that's why you got that itchy trigger finger
10:40there's a few things i can do on my scalpel if given a chance
10:42but no i don't want you to murder him
10:45i just want him to suffer
10:49you're exactly the man that can make that happen
10:52this is all me
10:55everybody knows that i don't like hayley
10:57but i would never
10:59wish this on another woman
11:01and now she's probably in that hospital all alone
11:05hey okay okay fine
11:06yes some of this is on you
11:11you upset her so much that it sent her to the hospital
11:13but the truth is you don't know all the facts danny
11:16the doctors could have stopped the bleeding by now
11:18hayley could be looking at an ultrasound of a healthy baby right this second
11:23did they say it had anything to do with that fall in the office
11:26no
11:26what
11:27how the hell could they release you so quickly like that
11:31what's the name of the er doctor you saw
11:33i'm gonna they're gonna hear from me
11:34bill stop
11:36they treated me there was nothing left to say or do
11:40the baby was
11:43gone and
11:44all i wanted to do was just come home and be with you
11:48there's plenty left to say
11:51naomi i
11:53did you come here to see me
11:55no i came over to
11:56talk to hayley about something
11:58but i didn't know about the baby
12:01okay
12:02it's a good thing you beat me here so hayley wasn't here
12:05another moment alone baby i'm sorry
12:07it's okay
12:09okay i'll be okay
12:10no it's not okay
12:12it's not okay none of this will ever be
12:14okay
12:16ha
12:19naomi would you mind staying with her while i go make her some tea please
12:23of course
12:32i don't want to sound indelicate
12:34but why the hell didn't you tell me what happened when i walked through the door
12:38well maybe i wanted to tell your father first
12:40this is sensitive
12:42it's between us
12:43and maybe i didn't and still don't want to talk about this with you
12:47i wasn't going to say anything in front of him
12:49especially with how broken up he is about all this
12:52but you need to clarify some things
12:55why did you pretend to have an ultrasound
12:57and is my dad mourning a baby that never existed in the first place
13:08okay
13:09so tell me the real
13:14you want to make joey suffer
13:16but you can't get him a money laundering without implicating vanessa
13:22so what's going on in your mind
13:25joey tried to get you to carry out a hit for him right
13:27and it did not go as planned
13:30so what you think just because you couldn't finish the line
13:33he just gave up
13:36you don't think he hired somebody else to finish the task
13:39i don't know
13:40and brother
13:41i don't want to know
13:43brandy
13:45if the police know that joey coerced you into murder
13:48they will follow the breadcrumbs
13:51and i bet all my chips
13:53on them landing on a dead man
13:56premeditated
13:57willful
13:58deliberate
14:00joey can go down for murder
14:02one
14:03so instead of following the money
14:06they following the body
14:10you want me to snitch
14:12the way i see it
14:13you either get ahead of him
14:14or you wait around for him to remember that you are a loose end
14:19you've never quit anything in your life derrick
14:21you can't quit my daughter
14:23yeah
14:23you love her she loves you
14:25i left it all out on the field jan
14:27i got down on my knee
14:29wringing my hand
14:30and she turned me down
14:32at some point you
14:33you gotta take the hand
14:35there's another way to read that moment
14:37she got scared
14:40it's my fault really
14:42since her dad wasn't in the picture
14:44i raised that girl to be so independent
14:47that she feels cornered instead of loved
14:49you raised a perfect woman
14:51but unfortunately she wants someone else
14:55we could have weathered her being scared
14:57for sure
14:57but
14:59we just can't get past her interest in another man
15:02andre richardson is no competition for you
15:05he is a player
15:06yeah well
15:07he's ashley's mistake to make
15:08maybe andre did me a favor
15:11he showed us both that
15:13what i have to offer just
15:15isn't enough for her
15:16i just told her what i'm telling you
15:19don't throw away the best thing to ever happen to either of you
15:22because she's curious if his grass is greener
15:25it's not
15:26yeah i've tried
15:27multiple times
15:28and what you're just
15:29done
15:31time to lick your wounds and drink protein shakes
15:34i reminded her of who you are
15:37but apparently you've forgotten too
15:40and who am i jim
15:42you're the guy that's loved her through everything
15:46who helped navigate the start of her nursing career
15:49you run into burning buildings for a living
15:52andre is a fleeting moment
15:55you are a lifetime promise
15:58you can be plucked right out of a hallmark movie
16:01this is real life
16:02this isn't tv
16:03exactly
16:04exactly
16:04real life
16:06you're a real hero
16:07act like it
16:09and go get your girls
16:13so you see how you could be torturing yourself over nothing
16:16why don't you call and find out
16:17the hospital is not going to give me an update over the phone
16:21right
16:21so why don't you check with naomi or chelsea
16:23let's see if they know anything
16:24bill
16:26i have to call bill
16:28danny
16:29look
16:29i spoke to him when he was at the airport
16:31he's got to be at the hospital by now
16:33i know how it seems andre
16:35but this is the only way
16:38i can ease my mind
16:39yeah
16:40do it
16:46danny
16:47how is she
16:50well she's at home now

17:25spill your tea before my dad comes back with the one he's making for you
17:28okay but it isn't what you think
17:30what i think is that you've been manipulating my dad from day one
17:34but this is a new and confusing low
17:38i lied
17:41there isn't any ode for sale
17:44and the printout my dad's been carrying around like some proud papa
17:48i pulled that from the internet but naomi it sounds way worse than it
17:53actually is
17:54so what you were losing a grip on my dad so you fake a pregnancy and then fake a miscarriage
17:59is that it no naomi no
18:02i was pregnant
18:08i swear there was a baby
18:11one i wanted so desperately
18:15i really did lose him
18:18why would i believe that
18:20that makes absolutely no sense
18:23make it make sense hayley
18:31well this is new territory for me
18:34a woman working toward my best interest
18:38to protect me
18:42i'm grateful
18:45don't need coughs sniffing around another investigation
18:48another
18:49is there one i'm not aware of
18:51any
18:52is what i mean
18:54you're welcome
18:56but i'm not just protecting you
18:58i'm protecting us
19:00and Doug
19:03you really do care about him
19:05don't you
19:07i've known a lot of Dougs
19:10everything's great while the cards are going their way
19:12but as soon as they lose enough
19:15things get nasty
19:17petty
19:18i can't tell you how many Dougs have offered their wives and girlfriends to me
19:23right in this very room
19:25what about you
19:27if the cards weren't on your side would there be a different joey
19:32yeah there might be another version of me
19:34living on a beach somewhere
19:37writing novels
19:40spending forever with a woman like you
19:44i'll tell you this
19:45if that was my life
19:48i wouldn't gamble it
19:50in the minute that i've known Doug
19:53i've seen him go from a respected cardiac surgeon
19:56to a deadbeat drunk who lives off his wife
19:59you've only known him a short time
20:00we had plenty of good years before the mundane ones
20:04maybe he can't control his impulses
20:07or
20:08maybe it's because his wife can't control hers
20:10but he's a good man
20:14which is why i need you to understand something
20:21i told Doug you bugged his car
20:29i didn't hear a joke
20:32buddy
20:34when it comes to crime you are still a newborn
20:38you missed a crucial detail in this grand plan of yours
20:41which is
20:43joey owns the cops
20:47have you forgotten how he sent detective malone to stop me from leaving town
20:51and i handled that
20:54you said cops plural
20:57who else does joey have in his pocket
21:00a man like that doesn't divulge everything
21:02but i'm sure he's got a few spares
21:06then we go to the da
21:08no way he has to hold force on his payroll
21:14you know back at home
21:16they used to say i pulled the greatest magic trick of all
21:20trading in a hood
21:22for a white coat to never looking back
21:25i can make miracles again
21:26and i can take you with me
21:28i just need you on my side
21:31yes or no
21:33that must be naomi
21:39hi ash
21:40hi
21:42i'm sorry i
21:43i should have called first
21:46uh no
21:47come in please
21:52um
21:53can i get you anything
21:54oh you know i still have um
21:56those protein drinks you like
21:58no thanks i'm fine
22:01um
22:03i just saw jan
22:04at uptown
22:06oof god
22:07i hope it wasn't too awkward bumping into my mom
22:11actually
22:13she came looking for me
22:16okay
22:17um
22:17that won't happen again
22:18you know i i think she's just
22:20taking our breakup really hard
22:22yeah
22:24she said something to me though
22:26that i i just can't shake
22:29what was that
22:32sometimes we
22:33run away from
22:35what's right in front of us
22:37because
22:38we're afraid that we're
22:40missing out on something else
22:43so i'm here
22:45probably making an idiot of myself
22:47for the last time
22:51but here goes
22:54i want to be your hero ash
22:57and i don't think i should be penalized
22:59because i haven't
23:00been exposed to the things andre has
23:03i can learn
23:05i mean just like i learned about wine
23:08i can learn about you
23:11and we can grow together
23:15is there
23:15any chance
23:18that we can still make this work
23:24you remember when your mom took me to garland when i was cramping
23:29i thought i was losing the baby
23:33the doctor wanted to do an ultrasound but i just couldn't let her
23:38because your womb is as empty as your words
23:40if the doctor didn't see it or say it
23:44no one could tell me that i was going to lose my baby
23:47i was terrified
23:50and then
23:51the pain subsided
23:53and
23:54i just convinced myself that
23:57i was alright
23:59and when i went back for the follow-up
24:01i knew bill
24:02would ask about the sonogram
24:04so i
24:05i just printed one out
24:08like it was stupid i know
24:11but
24:13it stopped bill's questions
24:15and allowed me to keep pretending
24:22until today and
24:26now all i can wonder is would it have made a difference
24:33if i had got it done with it
24:37could i have saved my baby
24:41ma'am listen
24:44i was picking out
24:45paint swatches
24:47for the nursery
24:49your father was online picking out the safest strollers
24:53i wanted to tell him
24:55i should have told him
24:56but if i do that now
24:59all it's gonna do is hurt him all over again
25:02and i feel guilty enough
25:05look
25:05naomi
25:06i have no right to ask you this but
25:10are you gonna tell bill
25:11tell me what
25:21what's going on ladies
25:25i can't take any suspense tonight
25:30there's something you should know dad
25:32okay
25:33what's up sweetheart
25:35i'm really really sorry about your loss
25:39i know you were looking forward to having a little bundle of joy around here
25:44both of you
25:47thanks for saying that naomi
25:50i was even looking forward to
25:52meeting my little sibling
26:03i got away with so much
26:05because i was the victim
26:07and she was the villain
26:08but i have gone too far andre
26:10with everything i've ever done
26:12i i never actually hurt someone
26:16i'm a monster
26:17no no let's not start that
26:19i would have bet my life
26:20that she was faking
26:22but she wasn't
26:24that baby was real
26:26and now it's gone
26:28because of me
26:30who would ever believe
26:32that i didn't want that somewhere deep down
26:34me
26:35danny i believe you
26:38this is not your fault
26:39your words no matter how harsh they might have been
26:42did not cause a miscarriage
26:43distress
26:44hey you said hayley picked a fight with you
26:46right
26:46it's not like you went looking for trouble
26:51it's okay
26:53tana this is not your fault
26:54no i'm doing it again
26:56doing what
26:57i'm using you to make me feel better
26:59and it's not fair
27:00god i am the worst
27:02i decide what's fair to me
27:05no
27:05we're friends with benefits
27:07and i keep crossing the line between wanting you to needing you
27:12i think the key word there is friend
27:15you can confide in me
27:16you can lean on me danny
27:19well i appreciate that
27:22it cannot be all take take take every time we're together
27:25right
27:29do you want to just talk earlier
27:31i know what you want to hear
27:33and what my mom wants
27:35what do you want
27:36i'm torn
27:39i love you
27:40and a couple of months ago
27:41i was the happiest surest girl in the world
27:44then what happened
27:47i got what i wanted
27:49everything i wanted
27:51i got you
27:53i got my dream job
27:55everything i'd worked for
27:57and suddenly life was just set
28:00but it didn't feel the way that it was supposed to feel
28:03i mean derek when you proposed
28:05it should have felt like heaven on earth
28:06and instead i just felt like i wanted to run
28:11you felt trapped
28:12i felt our world getting smaller
28:15and there's still so much that we haven't done and seen
28:19and and i don't want to hurt you
28:21i really don't
28:22but i think
28:24maybe andre just sort of represents that
28:26that sense of wonder and
28:28it's because you think i'm done having adventures
28:32i may not have his money
28:34or come from some glamorous background
28:37but
28:38i can still give you experiences
28:41but we never have them derek
28:44not even in our heads
28:46and look i'm not faulting you
28:48you and i we were raised the same right
28:49you know keep our heads down
28:51and and follow the path
28:52and create a stable
28:53and and solid future
28:55and and part of me really wants to follow my mom's advice
28:59and just choose the guy that makes me feel safe
29:04but i can't ignore this other part of me
29:06that just wants to throw caution to the wind
29:09and just just really go for it
29:11you know
29:13god i feel so selfish right now
29:18if there's one thing in life
29:20you need to be selfish about
29:21it's
29:22who you choose to love
29:25you need to be sure
29:28for me
29:29it's an easy choice
29:32there's not a thing on earth
29:33i want to do without you by my side
29:37but i'll never be him
29:39but i can promise you this
29:41i will work
29:43every day
29:45to give you your dream
29:48because ashley
29:50you

29:55but i
29:56won't keep doing

31:42you can lead him down any path you want
31:45for once in his life
31:47joey armstrong won't see what's coming for him
31:51you told him about the bug
31:54you want to explain how you promised me
31:57no more lies
31:57and then you do that
31:58but i didn't lie
32:00i told you precisely what i did
32:02i handled doug like you wanted
32:05you really don't want to split hairs with me
32:07i needed him to know how serious this situation was
32:10before you took matters into your own hands
32:13telling him about the bug accomplished that
32:18i'll never see doug the same way again after being with you
32:23but i'd be heartbroken if he wasn't in this world anymore
32:27this was my way of fixing the problem
32:33can you forgive me

32:42i know a few ways i can make it up to you
32:46you know i'm an understanding man

34:00you light other people up danny
34:03the kind of woman who
