00:00The End
00:05Chelsea just told me the news.
00:08You came over to watch me fall apart?
00:11Of course not.
00:13She told me you were totally supportive of her.
00:17Yay me.
00:20I can't believe she's quitting modeling.
00:22Me either.
00:24I'm nothing if not a good faker.
00:26You're a good mom.
00:30It must be hard letting her go.
00:32Yeah.
00:34Very.
00:36I remember this magazine cover.
00:40How'd the frame get cracked?
00:42I didn't smash it in a rage if that's what you're worried about.
00:47Someone else broke it and I haven't had a chance to fix it yet.
00:51There must be a reason you're holding it crying.
00:56Reminds me of my life.
00:58Broken and jagged.
01:01Well maybe I can help you put it back together.
01:07What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10Paying my tab.
01:11Then going home to soak in a tub.
01:13Not until you hear me out.
01:17My father told you about the lawsuit?
01:19Of course he did.
01:20I'm his wife.
01:21Ugh, aren't you tired of bragging about that?
01:24The suit impacts the both of us.
01:26After all, I am an employee at the firm too.
01:28You know, you got a promotion that was promised to one of my clients.
01:32And given that you were sleeping with the head of the firm at the time, it's more evidence that it's
01:37an inappropriate harassment-filled work environment.
01:41I earned my promotion.
01:43On your back? Between the sheets with my dad?
01:46Okay, look, I'm going to ignore that.
01:48Okay.
01:49Lots of people work at the firm.
01:51You thought about how picking a fight with Bill affects them?
01:54Or is hurting your father your only goal and anyone else is just collateral damage?
02:01My husband is always watching out for me, but sometimes we get our wires crossed.
02:06A reporting job at the Washington Record, my schedule has suddenly opened up.
02:10That's terrific news.
02:12Of course, I'm going to have to discuss it with Martin first because we always make family decisions together.
02:17Oh, absolutely. I totally understand.
02:19All I ask is that you get back with me ASAP.
02:22I want you, but this is a choice gig, so there are a lot of candidates and I really need
02:26to get an offer out there quickly.
02:27Absolutely. Thank you.
02:29Ah, no. Thank you.
02:30Thanks, fella.
02:33I can't explain.
02:35I hope so.
02:36Because I can't think of one reason why you would turn down an incredible job offer on my behalf and
02:41not even bother to tell me.
02:58I can't believe in a great deal.
02:59No, no.
03:10It's a hard place for me.
03:11I'm not a guy.
03:14But I'm not a guy, when I'm not a guy.
03:16I'm not a guy.
03:17I can't explain it.
03:17I'm not a guy.
03:17I'm not a guy.
03:17But you can't explain what it is.
03:17I'm not.
03:18I'm not a guy.
03:18What's the guy?
03:29Hey, sweetheart.
03:30Hey, Dad.
03:31Are you and Mom free for dinner tonight?
03:33I am.
03:34And I'm pretty sure Nicole is, too.
03:36Great.
03:37Meet me at Uptown.
03:38My treat.
03:40It's been forever since I've had one-on-one time with you, and I want to catch up.
03:43What did I do to deserve you?
03:45What do you mean?
03:47I don't know very many hip young women who still want to dine with their hopelessly unhip parents.
03:52Stop that, Daddy.
03:53You and Mom are the coolest.
03:55Normcore are cool.
03:57Whatever that means, I'll take it.
04:00Great.
04:01See you there, round eight.
04:39This reminds me of when you were a nitty-itty-bitty, and we would split a pint.
04:44Yep, eat right out of the container.
04:47The whole pint in one sitting.
04:50To me, that was the most extravagant thing in the world.
04:53I felt like a little princess in some royal court.
04:57Well, you've seen King Ted and Queen Nicole's way of life, and you've also been cheated out
05:04of what the other kids have, and that's the life that you deserved this whole time.
05:12I never should have let him talk me into leaving town and keeping his dirty little secret.
05:22Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
05:25I'm sorry.
05:26That sounded terrible.
05:27It's okay.
05:28I know what you meant.
05:34You made me feel so low, so cheap.
05:40And I'm finally going to crawl out of my sunken place and expose Mr. Family Man Ted for the
05:49lying hypocrite he is.
05:53Boy, I'm going to get a lot of bang for my buck, baby.
05:58And everybody will know, because I'm going to tell them at Ted and Nicole's anniversary party.
06:11Eat up.
06:15Mmm.
06:18Here you are.
06:23Two creams, one sugar.
06:28How'd you know?
06:30I'm a big shot detective, remember?
06:32I pay attention.
06:34I get the intel.
06:36Thanks.
06:37You're very welcome.
06:39Why are you being like this, man?
06:42Like what?
06:43Nice.
06:44I mean, you're my partner.
06:46I was in the break room, having some coffee, and I figured you might want some, too.
06:51Why else?
06:53Because you want something.
06:54And it's going to be something I won't like.
06:58Suspicious much.
07:04I didn't tell you about the job because I didn't think it was the right opportunity for you.
07:08Why not?
07:09Because journalism jobs pay little and I'd be insulted.
07:12Any money I make would be more than I make right now is a stay-at-home debt.
07:16I handled it the wrong way.
07:18I admit.
07:19I was afraid of losing you to the work.
07:21The same way you hate losing me to politics.
07:24That is a crock.
07:28You don't think what I do is as important as being a congressman?
07:31That's not true.
07:32I do.
07:33I know how important the press is.
07:35It's one of the reasons that the First Amendment exists.
07:38Thank you for your stump speech, but I'm not your constituent.
07:41I'm your husband.
07:43Be real with me.
07:46This isn't the first secret you've kept.
07:48What are you talking about?
07:49Earlier tonight, I find out that you want to run for president.
07:54I feel like me being the last to know is becoming a pattern.
07:59I'm sorry.
08:01A sorry is not what I'm looking for.
08:05I want to understand why you did it.
08:10I was selfish both times.
08:13I was afraid you and I wouldn't want the same thing, so I didn't tell you.
08:18But I promise, I won't keep anything from you again.
08:24That covers the future, but what about right now?
08:28Are there any other secrets you're keeping from me?
08:33Suspicious much?
08:34You keep giving me reasons to be.
08:37You keep giving me reasons to be.
08:37Okay.
08:38We had a bit of a rough start.
08:40I was hazing you.
08:42I'm not pledging a frat.
08:43I know, but you knew the robbery homicide.
08:47Had to put you through the paces.
08:49See what you made of.
08:50Then I passed your test?
08:52Yeah.
08:53You managed to put up with me and still do your job.
08:58You proved you were cool.
09:00Now you get to see a kinder, more gentler Marcel.
09:05Really?
09:06You're going to be shocked at what a sweetheart I actually am.
09:12You know what, Marcel?
09:14Everything I'm hearing sounds like bull.
09:16So how about you keep it real and let me know what's really going on?
09:20Well, I didn't want to get into it this early in our partnership.
09:23Well, we into it now.
09:24Okay, okay.
09:27If you really want to know, once upon a time, I used to be just like you.
09:35You've been the most devoted mom anyone could ever ask for.
09:39It's you and me against the world, baby.
09:43Always has been, always will be.
09:45Well, I guess there was Alan.
09:48What a poor excuse for a stepfather he was.
09:51He tried.
09:53My patience.
09:56But I guess I shouldn't speak ill of the dead.
10:03The point is, even when Alan was alive, you were my top priority.
10:10Thanks.
10:11You're my top priority, too.
10:13Yeah.
10:14And that's why I've been rethinking our plan.
10:17Oh?
10:18Hmm.
10:19Something that might make this really...
10:23In the long run, I wonder if it isn't better that we tell Ted I'm his daughter in private.
10:29And why would I do that?
10:32Because embarrassing him in public might make you feel good short-term, but does that really serve our long-term
10:37goals?
10:38Of course it does.
10:40He's stumped on my heart.
10:43I got pregnant with Ted's baby, you.
10:47Out of love.
10:48And he abandoned us.
10:51Left to go be with his high-society wife and her over-privileged family.
10:57Yeah, but if we expose him publicly, don't you think that would make him less inclined to make things right?
11:04Financially speaking.
11:05Shaming him in public will force him to give you your birthright.
11:09He won't be able to wiggle his way out of his obligations this time.
11:14Not again.
11:15Especially with his judgmental wife and family.
11:21Her family watching.
11:24No.
11:25He would do what it takes to pay just to make this embarrassment go away.
11:32I'm not sure about that.
11:51Who's that?
11:54Nicole.
11:55Hmm?
11:56She wants me to go by her house and make sure the computer is logged out of the hospital account.
12:00This is what I'm talking about.
12:03Overprivileged.
12:04There's no way in the world that woman should have you working after hours.
12:07I'm her assistant.
12:08That's the kind of job it is.
12:10What can she do it herself?
12:13She's going to be at a family dinner with Kat.
12:15Oh.
12:16At their little precious country club.
12:19No, actually.
12:21Tonight they're slumming.
12:22Going to that place uptown.
12:24And in order for your plan to work, I need to seem like the perfect assistant.
12:28So I'm going to go and do what Nicole asks.
12:32You're right.
12:33You need to go.
12:36But you need to accept that I'm right about blowing Ted and Nicole out of the water at their anniversary
12:42party.
12:49We were best friends, Naomi.
12:51I thought I knew you.
12:53That's rich.
12:55I thought I knew you.
12:56Are you so bitter that you can't see that these women are-
13:00My clients.
13:01Are disgruntled former employees looking for a payout.
13:04You know, I really don't like women who don't support other women.
13:08Don't you care that they were harassed?
13:10By Mike?
13:11I never had a problem with him.
13:13Maybe because you were busy sleeping with the boss.
13:15This isn't about your experience at work anyway.
13:18It's about theirs.
13:20Your anger at Bill is clouding your judgment.
13:23Oh, it's like that?
13:24You're going to psychoanalyze me now?
13:26I don't have to.
13:28I know you.
13:30Better than you want to admit.
13:31Look, Bill and I have a great life.
13:35But if I'm honest, my only regret is that you're not in it.
13:41You're the sister I never had.
13:43We weren't sisters.
13:45I have a sister, Chelsea.
13:47And that sister is now suffering because you broke her parents' marriage up.
13:51You can't say our friendship wasn't real.
13:53Oh, our friendship was an illusion that you created to get next to my dad.
13:57It wasn't premeditated.
13:59I fell in love.
14:00Oh, I fell in love.
14:01It's not my fault.
14:02Are you really going with that?
14:04You know what?
14:05In some ways, I'm more angry with you than my dad.
14:08He betrayed my mom.
14:10But you?
14:11You betrayed me.
14:15I always wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't met Bill.
14:18You need to move beyond Bill, Dani.
14:21If you ask me, he is the root of all of this.
14:24No kidding.
14:25If only he hadn't been so charming and handsome and charismatic.
14:31One kiss, I was addicted.
14:32That's exactly it, Dani.
14:34You're an addict.
14:35What?
14:36It's a figure of speech.
14:37There is tons of scholarship out there about love addiction.
14:40It's called codependence.
14:41It has all of the same hallmarks as any other addiction.
14:44Such as?
14:45Intense cravings like withdrawal.
14:48Check.
14:49As horrible as he's been, I can't stop thinking about him.
14:52Tolerance for abuse.
14:53Check again.
14:54Loss of control.
14:56Like shooting up a wedding?
14:58Yes.
14:59And neglecting every other part of your life that's important.
15:03When was the last time you had a dream that made you happy?
15:06And please do not say with Bill.
15:08But it was with Bill.
15:09He laid out this big plan for our lives.
15:12He was going to leave the DA's office and found his law firm.
15:16I'd stop modeling and help him.
15:18I promised to leverage all of my contacts so that he could get his firm up and running.
15:21I also promised to be the perfect wife and perfect mother.
15:24It didn't occur to you to say no?
15:26Of course not.
15:27I was all in on the whole picture until he left.
15:30I hope you hear yourself.
15:32Bill dragged you down.
15:34He used you until you weren't the person he fell in love with anymore and then he dumped you for
15:39a newer model.
15:40That is low.
15:42You know, I was sitting here remembering what it was like when I used to be able to stop a
15:47man in his tracks.
15:48I know, that's shallow.
15:50But it's real, Dani.
15:52You are still stunning.
15:55Your beauty, your aesthetics, it's a big part of who you are.
16:00So, why don't you get props from where it feels good?
16:03How?
16:04Meet some decent men.
16:07Try dating and you might see how many other men are out there who would love to be with you.
16:16Come on, Eva.
16:18I know you took the bait.
16:32Kat Richardson.
16:34I'm sorry, have we met?
16:36My name is Hannah.
16:38I see.
16:40And you're over here because...
16:43We have a mutual acquaintance.
16:45Who?
16:45Your mother's assistant.
16:47You know Laura Peterson?
16:49No, dear.
16:50I'm talking about Eva Thomas.
17:11Now that you've seen King Ted in Queen Nicole's way of life, you know you've been cheated out of what
17:18his other kids have.
17:20It's what you've deserved this whole time.
17:27What are you doing?
17:35Anna, I'm not sure why you want to talk to me about my mom's personal assistant.
17:41That's too many degrees of separation.
17:43But is it?
17:45I was a good friend of Eva's mom.
17:47She passed away.
17:49I've known Eva since she was a little bitty thing.
17:53Still, I think it's inappropriate for me to discuss my mother's employee with a stranger.
17:59I wouldn't normally be so forward, but I feel like it's destiny that you and I cross paths.
18:05Destiny?
18:06Yes.
18:07Your mother is her boss, and I'm like a mother to her.
18:11And here we are, and here we are, destiny.
18:13See?
18:14Uh, not really.
18:16I'm a businesswoman.
18:17No nonsense.
18:18Two feet on the ground.
18:20Nothing is preordained.
18:21It's all hard work.
18:23Hard work.
18:24Hard work.
18:24Mm-hmm.
18:25This is what I mean.
18:28Eva confided in me that she is unhappy at her job.
18:32Yeah.
18:32Well, if that's true, nothing is stopping her from quitting.
18:36Technically, she's a temp.
18:37She doesn't even need to put in two weeks' notice.
18:39Mm.
18:40What I mean is, Eva enjoys the job itself.
18:46She even told me that she thinks it's interesting and fulfilling.
18:50And what's her problem?
18:51She thinks you hate her.
18:53I can't imagine why.
18:57So I thought I would be a peacemaker between the two of you.
19:03Is there anything, in your opinion, that I can do to smooth things over?
19:14Oh, hey, Ted.
19:15Sorry, Nicole asked me to sign her out of her hospital email.
19:19And I just thought because this candlestick was at the end of the mantel,
19:22and Nicole usually keeps it with the other one.
19:25Oh, the housekeeper probably moved it when she was cleaning.
19:28No worries.
19:29It always happens.
19:30But that's not your job.
19:31I don't need you around here tidying things up.
19:34Well, you and Nicole have been so kind to me,
19:36it makes me want to go above and beyond.
19:38Everyone in the family loves the amazing job that you're doing around here.
19:42Everybody but Kat, maybe?
19:45Look, I've tried to be friendly, but it's like she despises me.
19:48She's still upset about that dress, and that was Nicole's idea?
19:51And I tried to explain that, but it's like she wasn't buying it.
19:54At all.
19:55So things have gotten worse, not better.
19:57Yeah.
19:58And I've tried to bend over backwards to be friends with her.
20:01I do not know what else to do.
20:03Kat's an amazing woman.
20:05But it takes her a while to open up to outsiders.
20:08Is that what I am?
20:10An outsider?
20:11Not to Nicole.
20:13Not to me.
20:14But you have to understand that she wasn't here to witness the amazing job
20:17that you did on her mom's event.
20:20Right.
20:21She's an entrepreneur.
20:22I had a business meeting.
20:23Yeah, Kat's very busy.
20:25She has a side gig that she's doing with Chelsea
20:26and helping me to manage my practice.
20:28Let's just say that she's overworked and overprotective of our family.
20:33Must be nice to have a family to feel that way about.
20:36We've spoiled her.
20:37We've always given her everything that she wants.
20:40Kat is definitely a daddy's girl.
20:45Just like me.
20:47Right.
20:49You wound me.
20:51I'm protecting you.
20:53I was a wide-eyed rookie once, aching to be top cop.
20:57I'm new to this department.
20:59Not the force.
21:00I'm not a rookie.
21:01I'm just not you.
21:02I'm giving you some advice here.
21:04Ah.
21:05There he is.
21:08Sorry.
21:09My bad.
21:10Jekyll and Hyde much?
21:12I'm saying.
21:14You be you.
21:15You want to protect the public, get the bad guys.
21:19Don't ever settle or look the other way.
21:22Like you did when Joey Armstrong took that payoff.
21:26Don't be me.
21:28Be better.
21:34Smitty, I am not keeping anything else from you, I swear.
21:39Okay.
21:41But I need you to get that it is not cool for you to unilaterally decide that I shouldn't take
21:46that job.
21:47I get it.
21:48I do.
21:48And while I think that you understand the importance of media in general, I don't think you understand the importance
21:53of journalism to me personally.
21:55I know.
21:55I don't think you do.
21:57Otherwise, you would have never taken for granted that I would just give up my career when we become parents.
22:03You did that voluntarily.
22:04I thought it was just temporary.
22:07I always thought that when our kids went back to high school, I would jump back in the saddle.
22:11But for some reason, that never happened.
22:13You were the primary caregiver.
22:15Not by choice.
22:16By default.
22:17But you're better at it than me.
22:19Because I put in the time.
22:23Okay.
22:24Yeah.
22:25You do.
22:26But I am every bit as concerned about them as you are.
22:30It's hard enough being a teenager.
22:33But I'm afraid of any change to the stability of their lives.
22:37And yes, you provide the stability.
22:40It's going to mess things up.
22:44Isn't you running for president going to be a harder adjustment than me going back to work at a job
22:49that I can basically do from home?
22:51I guess.
22:52If it actually happens.
23:00If you want something to happen, Martin, it happens.
23:06Then we have to make sure to keep Samantha and Tyrell from the fray.
23:10Hey, protect them at all costs.
23:14Family first.
23:21Eva's job, Anna, is to assist my mother.
23:24Not be my bestie.
23:29Sounds to me like she has her priorities messed up.
23:33You're taking this the wrong way.
23:36I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
23:42And if Eva is being oversensitive or paranoid because of her sad childhood.
23:49But then I thought, everyone likes Eva.
23:53That may be true in her personal life, but she's out of her element working as an assistant to someone
24:00as high profile as my mother.
24:01She doesn't have any prior experience, so yeah, it has been a bit awkward.
24:06All I'm saying is that if you feel Eva isn't up to speed with you knowing what it's like to
24:13have a new job, why not help her?
24:16You'd be helping your mother out too.
24:20But you're choosing not to.
24:23Why is that?
24:25You've got this all wrong.
24:28Eva is the problem, not me.
24:32I see why Kat has a hard time getting me.
24:35You do?
24:37Sure.
24:38I didn't grow up in a house like this for one thing.
24:40We're really different.
24:42It doesn't mean that you're less than.
24:45Only to you, maybe.
24:47It means that you're self-made.
24:49It means you're resourceful and driven.
24:52That's how you see me?
24:54Absolutely.
24:55I wish Kat saw me that way.
24:58We haven't exposed Kat to much of the world outside of Fairmont Crest.
25:03I can't believe you're sort of taking my side.
25:06No, I'm not taking sides.
25:07I just want everybody to chill.
25:10I want my home to be a sanctuary.
25:13You know what?
25:14I'm going to meet Kat and Nicole for dinner.
25:16Maybe I'll talk to her about it then.
25:18No, no, no, no.
25:19Please don't.
25:20Look, she'll know we've been talking and she'll accuse me of turning her father against us.
25:24I'm sorry.
25:24That is the last thing I want.
25:26Okay.
25:28I'll keep this between us.
25:32Friends?
25:34Yeah.
25:46Date?
25:47What, like find myself a vacay bae?
25:50I get my needs met.
25:51I was thinking of something a little more respectful.
25:55I am so not ready for that.
25:57Then maybe you should date yourself.
26:00Date myself?
26:00What does that even mean?
26:02It means figure out what makes you happy.
26:05Rather than being in the pits, this time of your life could be really fulfilling.
26:08Aren't you almost glass half full?
26:10I mean it, Dani.
26:12Your kids are grown.
26:13You don't owe anything to anyone.
26:15You can draw your own map.
26:17Do Dani.
26:19And who is this Dani you see in your magic Nicole ball?
26:22An ex-model crying over a broken photo?
26:25Or a crazy woman who shot up the flowers and vases at her ex-husband's wedding?
26:30Maybe it's the Dani that did a spectacular job hosting my tribute event.
26:35All of those Danis are you.
26:37I want to keep it real.
26:39Every single one of those Danis wants her husband back.
26:42Oh sissy.
26:43I know, I know.
26:44Bill is the scum of the earth.
26:46But the hold he has on me is like...
26:48A black hole.
26:49Maybe, but he's my black hole.
26:51I have loved him for so long.
26:53I don't know anything else.
26:56He is my first, my last, and my only love.
27:02I didn't betray you, Naomi.
27:04Our friendship was the real deal.
27:07I couldn't help falling in love with Bill.
27:10Like you had no choice.
27:12I've known you a long time.
27:14Besides, what did it matter if you fell in love?
27:17What about doing the right things?
27:18Huh?
27:19My dad was married.
27:21You could have kept your draws on.
27:23You sure love passing judgment.
27:25I'm a homewrecker.
27:28Bill subverts the law to get his clients off the hook.
27:31But you're the one playing fast and loose with the law.
27:34Bringing this frivolous suit so you can pursue your vendetta against your dad for the crime of falling in love
27:39with me?
27:41I didn't think you were this petty.
27:44I'm just beating my dad where he is.
27:47In the sewer with you.
27:49But make no mistake.
27:51Our suit is not frivolous.
27:55You want to play it this way?
27:58Fine.
27:59But you won't win this.
28:02Don't start nothing.
28:03Won't be nothing.
28:06But there is something, Haley.
28:08Sexual harassment and discrimination.
28:12The law offices of Bill Hamilton Esquire will crush you in court.
28:16And when we win, we will sue you for attorney fees.
28:20We'll bankrupt that tiny little firm and put you dead out of business.
28:31What problems could a sweet girl like Eva possibly cause?
28:37Well, she always has an excuse for being overly involved in my parents' lives, for one thing.
28:43What's going on between Eva and your parents?
28:45What kind of question is that?
28:47Logical one.
28:49Since you're saying she's over-involved, I'm asking for an example.
28:54Okay.
28:55One day she popped up in my mother's office at the hospital when she was supposed to be working at
29:00my mom's house.
29:02She's always got her hands in things that are outside of her duties.
29:05Not that it's any of your business.
29:08She's probably being diligent, aren't you, when you're managing your father's office.
29:14Sure, but this is different.
29:19Anyway, time will tell if I'm right about this.
29:22Meanwhile, can you get a message to Eva for me?
29:25Sure.
29:26If Eva really wants to get along better with me, she'll respect the boundaries of her job and stop crossing
29:34so many lines.
29:43You talked to him, didn't you?
29:45Who about what?
29:46Marcel.
29:47You told him to take it easy on me.
29:48Because he went from being a jerk to bringing me coffee and telling me to be true to my ideals.
29:53He doesn't even talk like that.
29:55Wasn't me.
29:56Pops out of respect.
29:58Tell me the truth.
30:00Why would I lie?
30:01To protect me.
30:02But I could fight my own battles.
30:04Maybe, but don't fight this one.
30:08I don't understand.
30:09There's nothing I understand.
30:11Leave it alone, or I'll assign you a new partner.
30:21Do you know why I like journalism?
30:24It is one of the only ways to really speak truth to power, and I can't wait to just roll
30:29up my sleeves and start digging in on a good story.
30:33Here's a little thought experiment.
30:35What if you announce that you're going to run for president and my editor assigns me to investigate you?
30:41It wouldn't happen.
30:42It's a conflict of interest.
30:44And if my campaign takes off, you might be reassigned to restaurant reviews.
30:50And I haven't helped me.
30:52Unless it's Orphegeans, of course.
30:55Besides, you already know everything there is to know about my past.
30:59Yeah, probably.
31:01But do not give me or anyone else a reason to start digging.
31:09It's possible to get back out there again, Dani.
31:11What's the point?
31:13I feel what I feel.
31:15And until that changes...
31:16It's valid to feel what you feel.
31:18Emotions just don't go away overnight, and that's okay.
31:21But sometimes exploring those feelings and understanding them better, it can open the door to change.
31:26You sound like such a psychiatrist right now.
31:28Okay, let's roll with that.
31:30Indulge me.
31:31For a moment, let me be your therapist.
31:33Oh, Nicole!
31:34For a role play.
31:35It'll be fun.
31:36You be you, and I'll be a date.
31:38This is dumb.
31:39How many dumb things have I done to make you happy?
31:42And do you honestly think that Bill of all people is worth holding on to all this pain for?
31:47No.
31:47But then let's pretend we're on a date.
31:51This is why I always wanted a brother.
31:53A brother would pop a brew and tell you that you're on your own.
31:56Exactly.
31:56He would let me wallow in peace.
31:59Danny?
31:59Fine.
32:00But I'm drinking a martini.
32:04Hi.
32:04Danny Dupree, right?
32:06You're my online date.
32:07What are you drinking?
32:09Vodka and sadness.
32:12Okay.
32:13I see we have our work cut out for us.
32:21Let me ask you an honest question.
32:24Do you really love Bill, or do you just want him back because you can't have him?
32:29Why would you ask me that?
32:30Because I've seen you do it time and time again.
32:33You go after something to show yourself and the world that you can get it.
32:37And then you decide you don't want it anymore.
32:39It's a sport for you.
32:40You're saying I'm a tease.
32:41I'm saying you need to dig deep inside and ask yourself, could you really be with Bill
32:48again after the horrible way he treated you?
32:51When I think about Bill, I don't remember the bad times.
32:54Selective amnesia.
32:56Let me remind you.
32:57He screwed Hailey, threw her in your face, and rejected you.
33:02Could you really let Bill back into your life, much less your bed?
33:05In a heartbeat.
33:07Like you said, I'm an addict.
33:09I tried to go cold turkey, but I still have cravings.
33:13I don't think I'll ever get over him.
33:18That makes me really sad.
33:21It makes me even sadder.
33:29You think your empty threats got me quaking in my boots?
33:32If you were smart, you would be.
33:35Oh, you don't want to compare your IQ to mine, Hailey.
33:38The facts are on my side.
33:40Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal.
33:43The appropriate remedy to a civil offense is a lawsuit.
33:47My clients have every right to take Mike Davis, their harasser, to court,
33:52along with the firm that employs him.
33:54We will prevail.
33:57You know, I came to talk to you out of respect for the friendship we had.
34:00But if you are determined to go after the law firm,
34:04the gloves are coming off.
34:06I will stand beside Bill, and we will take you down.
34:13Bring it on.
34:28Hey, Samantha.
34:30How was school?
34:31Fine.
34:33That's it?
34:35Yeah, it was school.
34:38Where's Tyrell?
34:41He just went to bed a few minutes ago.
34:44I'll go up and say goodnight to him.
34:46No, no, you can't do that.
34:48Yeah, I think we can.
34:49What's going on with you?
34:52Don't be mad at her.
34:55She's got my back.
35:00Oh, my God.
35:08So, let's do that.
35:10Oh, my God.
35:14Your love?
35:15I don't know.
35:16Oh, my God.
35:17My God.
35:18And the rest of your day stillogedимся.
35:21Oh, my God.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:36I thought I'd be able to help a friend's daughter out, but clearly you're too close-minded
35:41to give Eva a chance.
35:44You're lost.
35:46Anna, you seem genuinely caring and well-meaning.
35:52Well, thank you.
35:52I hoped you'd see me that way.
35:54But I think Eva got over on you.
35:58You should be careful around her.
36:02There's no point in continuing this conversation.
36:10I couldn't agree more.
36:16So now you're going after my daughter.
36:26I'm going after my daughter.
36:27I'm going after my daughter.
36:27I'm going after my daughter.
36:32I'm going after my daughter.
36:39I'm going after my daughter.
36:40I'm going after my daughter.
36:42I'm going after my daughter.
36:44I'm going after my daughter.
36:44I'm going after my daughter.
36:44I'm going after my daughter.
36:44I'm going after my daughter.
36:45I'm going after my daughter.
36:47You
