00:18You're gonna blame old photos on what you felt we got swept up. No, there's no we
00:26Babe stop worrying. How can I look like you're out for revenge if you didn't create the situation?
00:32Those women came to you needing your help to defend them against Hamilton and if it feels good to get
00:38payback with my dad

05:23you're welcome to wait but bill's not here did you know you were bringing dinner i thought he'd be
05:28catching up on his other cases now that he's not going to work with naomi i'm sorry to report that
05:33battle continues since when well the last time you saw him naomi came by and the next thing i knew
05:40she's playing hardball being so vindictive she's blinded by the best interest of her clients
05:47where's bill now i'm not at liberty to say
05:54he really does rely on my discretion haley
06:00caroline i insist you tell me where my husband is
06:09i did not consent to that kiss
06:13what are you gonna call the cops have me arrested again you know what maybe i should have put up
06:18my
06:18hand and show you this shiny new ring placed there by my shiny new wife and who's this performance for
06:25bill the ladies and gentlemen of the jury i was here i know what happened
06:33there's no future for us danny do you understand whatever we've been or done for each other is dead
06:40and in the past okay you poor misguided man i'm in your blood
06:45i got a transfusion and yet you're here the rehoboth house the charm and cocktails were not about real estate
06:59you want something from me
07:04what is it
07:07it isn't for me it's for haley
07:29just like hey i'm just saying
07:38it's good
07:39and listen you know you didn't have to run that by me right hey you got this
07:47you really think so it's my biggest case so far and listen listen to me you've been assigned a fair
07:52judge you know the facts backwards and sideways and you know what's most important you were trained
07:57to do this naomi you were born to be an attorney you know fighting for justice giving the voice
08:03to those who will be silenced oh dad look i mean it well i learned from the best
08:11that's my girl
08:23you seem so far away where did you go
08:30that's what's going on
08:31all i know is bill took off on a mission barely said goodbye and he definitely didn't tell me why
08:36he was going to danny's but you must have some idea honestly haley the last thing we should do is
08:42speculate she didn't call summon him over to fix the leak or something maybe he wants to use her to
08:50get
08:51to drop the lawsuit if anything danny would tell naomi to turn the heat up use her as a weapon
08:59to
08:59punish bill for leaving her you don't think she'd really do that nobody wants to say it but yes i
09:06do
09:08every single one of those dupree women is unhinged danny's more vengeful than the others and bill knows
09:14that she's dangerous well they were married for decades there's a lot of blood under that bridge
09:21it's probably just some other detail they needed to talk about
09:26he usually deals with the divorce issues through the attorney face to face he can turn on the hamilton
09:32charm you know bill when it comes to persuading people that man is a king
09:40the great and all-powerful bill hamilton reduced to running errands for his midlife crisis wife
09:49haley doesn't order me around you missed that bill
09:53like i said actually you haven't said what you'd like me to do for her
10:01haley's treatment by certain members of the country club has been
10:05objectionable you'll have to take that up with the club president you must have gabe's number
10:10tell your friends to back off danny if club members are freezing haley out it's because they
10:16find her unacceptable not because i have said anything i wish you could see what you look
10:22like running around here playing house with your child bride you're probably happy for the first time
10:27in a long time that's probably how i look you know that's what you find so deplorable right that
10:32i found someone else that makes me feel the way a man should feel impractical or geriatric
10:38finally happy and haley and i are equal partners intellectually physically bill give yourself some
10:46credit or at least be honest i am to a fault so you're going to tell your new bride that
10:52you kissed me
11:01okay so you root for all the right local teams thank god what about fantasy basketball you in a
11:06league yeah i've dabbled well when you're ready to go all in i'll hook you up with my guys he
11:11says his
11:12team is casual cutthroat right we're not that bad maybe he bachis he done bachi bachibo you two play
11:23when we can all the first responders are the good ones anyway all the nurses bring donuts flag on the
11:30play no incentives choose whoever you want just don't choose the cops hmm how bad did they beat you it
11:37was a fluke we got called in on emergency on championship night but we play for charity so
11:44so it doesn't matter if you win trust us it matters
11:51you two are uh
11:55you know how would you like to be a part of this documentary
12:11uh
12:36If Bill has allowed someone to turn his firm into a hostile workplace, he needs to own
12:41up to it.
12:42Grant, he's out of control.
12:44He met with my clients without me and then intimidated them.
12:47They almost dropped the sexual harassment suit.
12:49Now that's bold even for Bill.
12:51I can't let him get away with it.
12:53What will you do?
12:55My assistant just sent over the research.
12:57I could have him hit with fines, get his evidence excluded, even get him cited for contempt of
13:04court, throw in censure from the Bar Association.
13:06Well, that's certainly aggressive.
13:09He sicked his new wife on me, Grandad.
13:12Haley threatened that dad would bankrupt me with this lawsuit.
13:16So yeah, it's on.
13:17And he deserves it.
13:19And I owe it to my clients.
13:20Let's not be too hasty.
13:31I did not kiss you, Danny.
13:33You instigated that.
13:34Did I beg you to come over here?
13:36Demand that you stroll through the door and start making drinks?
13:39Well, it never crossed my mind that you would...
13:40Lie to your wife, but not to me.
13:42You miss me.
13:43You want me.
13:44And somewhere in the back of your mind, you know that this latest marriage was a mistake.
13:49I love Haley very much.
13:51When we were sitting on that couch, feeling all the feels, it was Haley who.
13:54I never asked for that ridiculous show of your emotions.
13:57Yeah, sure went along with it, didn't you?
13:59And it felt good, right?
14:01Electricity?
14:02Fire?
14:05Get a job, Danny.
14:07A hobby.
14:08Don't you have a foundation of something you can micromanage?
14:11Because I'm done playing this twisted game with you.
14:14You tell your friends at the country club to show some respect.
14:18Or else.
14:19Just do as I ask.
14:22I have.
14:23Since the day I met you, I have been doing what you asked.
14:27You wanted me to stop modeling to marry you?
14:30I quit the catwalk.
14:31Here we go.
14:32You wanted children?
14:33Gave you the best and the brightest.
14:35Vacations?
14:36We saw the world.
14:37Out of nowhere divorce?
14:39Broke my heart.
14:40But that's what you wanted, and this is what you get.
14:42You even had the temerity to demand that I go to your wedding.
14:46So I dressed up, showed up, just to watch you marry that child.
14:51Yeah, you showed out.
14:52Carrying a gun.
14:53Yeah.
14:53I came in hot and packing heat, and somehow I'm the only one who got hurt.
14:57And what was I asking for?
14:59The only thing that I have ever demanded of you was love.
15:03You broke into our home.
15:04I broke a picture frame.
15:06What she took from me can never be replaced.
15:11And neither can I.
15:21The deed to the Rehoboth house.
15:25Your pretense for this visit.
15:28Then I guess we're finished here.
15:30Keep thinking that.
15:51Yo, Pops, you got a minute?
15:52This is important.
15:54All right.
15:55I know you'll say I should call internal affairs, but I wanted to run it by you anyway.
15:59Let's talk over here.
16:04Talk to me.
16:06All right.
16:06On my way in, I seen Joey handing Marcel an envelope, and I'm pretty sure I had cash inside.
16:11You sure?
16:12It was dark out.
16:13Yes, Pops.
16:13I know what I saw.
16:14A decorated detective was receiving cash from a suspected criminal.
16:18Now I see why Marcel didn't cuff Joey when he seen him doing the same thing last week with another
16:21guy.
16:22They're doing this together.
16:30Am I the only one you told?
16:32So far, yeah.
16:33All right.
16:34This can go a little further.
16:35We got to keep this quiet, okay?
16:37Why?
16:38What's going on?
16:40Armstrong is a CI.
16:42Confidential informant?
16:43He's working for the cops?
16:44He's helping us nail the foreign agent.
16:46Malone will use the marked money Joey handed him to pay off the guy.
16:50Springing a trap that will hopefully lead to an arrest.
16:53You follow?
16:54I don't think I do.
16:55We're using a suspected crook to catch a real one.
16:59Simple but effective.
17:00All right.
17:00So wait.
17:01Joey Armstrong works for us?
17:03Mm-hmm.
17:04I didn't know.
17:05No one does.
17:06And I'm only telling you this because I can count on you to keep this quiet, okay?
17:11Just between us.
17:13Of course.
17:14Yeah.
17:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:16Yeah.
17:16Just us.
17:17All right.
17:26You're not special, Haley.
17:28You sure as Haley the first.
17:30Remember what they say.
17:32Past is prologue.
17:34The fairy tale never tells you how Prince Charming can become a real son of a bitch once that ring
17:40goes on your finger.
17:48Oh, hey.
17:50I did not expect to see you.
17:51What brings you back here so late?
17:53My husband's putting in long hours.
17:55Thought I could offer my help or at least my company.
18:03You look troubled, Bill.
18:06Did something happen?
18:08Oh, traffic.
18:11This dinner?
18:12It's cold.
18:14Yeah.
18:14Good thing about Orphie Jeans, it warms up nice.
18:18I heard Naomi's moving forward with her case.
18:21Caroline told me before she left for the night.
18:26What else did she say?
18:28Before I jump to conclusions?
18:31Explain why you went to see your ex-wife.
18:33Please don't tell me you thought she could talk some sense into Naomi about walking away from that case.
18:40Danny's so deep in her delusion, she didn't even know about the lawsuit.
18:44Oh.
18:45So then why was it so important for you to see her?
18:51Hayley.
18:54Tell me you did.
18:56Look, I couldn't let them go on treating you that way at the country club, okay?
19:00I hope that I can get her to tell her cronies to cut back on the shunning.
19:04That's all.
19:05After everything I've already been through?
19:07After I asked you not to?
19:09Baby.
19:09This is the last thing I wanted.
19:12This is the last thing I wanted.
19:46You were injured running into a burning building.
19:48Talk about the care you received.
19:50You know how much hell I'm catching at the station for that picture in the paper?
19:52Hey, I told you it'd get them to talk.
19:54That's only a fraction of how bad they'll roast me if there was a video floating around.
19:58I think you should do it.
19:59It's important for the patient perspective to be part of this documentary.
20:02Who better than you?
20:03Yeah.
20:04Hey, I'm not asking you to answer right away.
20:06Just...
20:07think about it.
20:11One second.
20:18Hey, babe.
20:21Yeah, whatever you need.
20:24Be right there.
20:27Uh, sorry.
20:28Gotta hit the road?
20:30Yeah, afraid I do.
20:31Wish I could stay and help clean up.
20:33I don't think it means that.
20:35Hey, dinner was delicious.
20:36I'm really glad you could make it.
20:37Oh, of course.
20:38See you around.
20:39Yeah, you can count on it.
20:40Uh, night.
20:41Night.
20:46All right, man.
20:47All right.
20:52Did he just...
20:53Rush out of here for a booty call?
20:54Oh, yeah.
20:56Okay.
21:00I'm thinking she's why he's sticking around.
21:03He's staying in town for the job.
21:06He's not building the future with whoever's on the other end of that call.
21:09Mm-hmm.
21:10Trust me.
21:10The guy knows.
21:12All right, so we'll just have to find him a girl so we can double and triple date.
21:16Perfect.
21:17Aw, you can't rest until everybody's paired up.
21:20I blame you for making me so happy.
21:23I just want Andre to know what this is like.
21:32You couldn't get off the phone with me fast enough.
21:35I was being discreet.
21:37I hope I didn't steal you away from anything important.
21:40Nah, just dinner with friends.
21:41No big deal.
21:43You shouldn't feel obligated to spend time with me.
21:48I go where I like.
21:49And I usually like where I go.
21:51Well, I should limit my exposure to you anyway.
21:55Someday, not very long from now, you'll be off on the other side of the world on some exciting adventure,
22:01and I won't see you for months.
22:03Not to mention the fact that you are my sister's nephew.
22:06I'm her husband's nephew.
22:08You are not in my family tree.
22:10Well, the point is that this has an expiration date.
22:15We weren't built to last.
22:19That is why we should live each moment to its fullest.
22:23And since I'll be sticking around for that documentary...
22:26For how long?
22:28I could be here for months.
22:31But as for you and me, let's just leave it at I'll be here when you call.
22:36If I call.
22:38I hope you'll call.
22:41You went to Naomi about the lawsuit because you care about me, right?
22:45You love me, right?
22:46How is this any different?
22:47I knew you would approve of what I was doing.
22:50I was standing up for you.
22:52It's the same thing.
22:53You threatened to burn a town to the ground and put people's heads on pikes.
22:57Man, turn a phrase.
22:58You meant it.
22:59Nobody likes a bully.
23:01If you told me to stay away from Naomi, I'd respect your wishes.
23:05I was trying to appeal to Dani's sense of reason.
23:08Oh.
23:09Gun shooting Dani or breaking and entering Dani?
23:13Look, I thought that she had calmed down and moved on.
23:16Forgive me for being an optimist.
23:22What?
23:24Just reminded myself that you're a master of diversion.
23:28Oh, God.
23:29Babe, I just told you what happened.
23:32You told me why you went to Dani's.
23:34And why don't you fill me in on what went down between you and your former wife?
23:44If I didn't know you better, Grandad, I think you're telling me to play softball with Bill Hamilton.
23:50That's exactly what I'm proposing.
23:54Aren't you angry with him for what he did?
23:58Being a pragmatist outweighs everything else.
24:02There's been so much conflict between Bill and our family.
24:07I don't want this creeping into the news or gossip around town that we can't handle our business in private.
24:16Well, you two are going to have quite the conversation on your way home about how wrong he is.
24:20Right, Gran?
24:23Well, now, Naomi.
24:25No, no, no.
24:26No, not you two.
24:27You know that I support you completely.
24:30And I would never advise you to drop the lawsuit in favor of a settlement if you think it unacceptable.
24:37That being said, we're just suggesting you find a balance.
24:43Hold Bill accountable without turning him into an enemy.
24:48You know, this sounds a lot like when you two insisted we attend that hellish wedding.
24:53It's like you have this strange soft spot for the man who betrayed his family.
24:58We all have first-hand knowledge of how your father can overreact when taunted.
25:04When Bill gets threatened, bad things happen.
25:09What are you saying?
25:10What are you saying?
25:11Sweetheart, whether you decide to drop the lawsuit is up to you.
25:15We're just reminding you that things can get ugly with Bill.
25:20Well, they usually do.
25:36Next time you do business, have sense to do it in private.
25:40Who?
25:41Jacob, he saw the handoff.
25:43Who'd he tell?
25:44Fortunately, not eternal offense.
25:47He came straight to me, but this is the second time, myself.
25:50The second time my kid have seen Joey Armstrong conducting business.
25:54And the second time he's seen his upstanding partner being okay with it.
25:57Now he's even taking part.
26:00My bad.
26:05This your career, you screwed us up.
26:08You want to spend your retirement in the Caribbean?
26:11Want a good ship, Sheila?
26:14Then keep your hands clean.
26:16My son is too damn wholesome to ignore corruption.
26:25And here I was thinking that you just wanted someone to talk to.
26:27We can talk after we exorcise a demon.
26:32What has your ex done now?
26:34Said he had to see me.
26:36So I dropped everything.
26:39He dropped by and for one brief, beautiful moment,
26:43I thought that he was going to ask me for a second chance.
26:47Tell me that his fling with Haley had flung
26:49and he would spend the rest of our lives making it up to me.
26:54He had something else in mind.
26:56Turns out he was sweet-talking me so that I would be kind
26:59or ask people to be kind to his reboot.
27:04Why do you even waste your time?
27:07Because he was mine.
27:10And I know.
27:12I need to accept the fact that he's never coming back.
27:15But I was hoping that you could help me forget
27:20that he's even on the planet.
27:24Well, the best way to get over someone
27:27is to get under someone else.
27:38That works, too.
27:41I hope you're up for the challenge.
27:44I got a lot to forget.
28:00You aren't jealous, are you?
28:03It's easier to keep track of your heart
28:05when I know I'm the only one in it.
28:07You are.
28:08Always.
28:10Danny and I just had some stuff to hash out.
28:13At night, out of the blue,
28:15when you didn't mention you'd be seeing her?
28:18It wasn't that deep, babe, okay?
28:20We own a place in Delaware
28:22and I suggested that we sell it.
28:25Oh, no.
28:26I thought we...
28:27With the intention of using my share of the proceeds
28:30to give us a weekend home.
28:32Just for the two of us.
28:35Really?
28:35Yeah.
28:36Yeah, it was going to be a surprise.
28:37It still can be, but go on.
28:42So, um...
28:44We started talking about summers we spent up there.
28:48Something happened.
28:49And Danny...
28:53thought that...
28:54that there was a chance that I'd go back to her.
28:58That's ridiculous.
28:59You never entertained that idea.
29:01Yeah, I know, right?
29:01Of course not.
29:02Okay, so what did you do?
29:04I told her the truth.
29:07I said I'm madly in love with my wife
29:09and that we're deliriously happy
29:11and she should move on.
29:14And she refused.
29:17There were tears.
29:19A lot of tears.
29:21This time she, um...
29:24She finally believed me.
29:27You've told her that dozens of times
29:30and dozens of ways.
29:32What was it about this time
29:33that made her see the light?
29:43And when Andre finds a girl,
29:45they can do fun couple things.
29:47Like?
29:48Like this.
29:56Having someone to download with?
29:58We get it.
30:00The things we see.
30:02The lives that get lost.
30:03That's the part nobody talks about.
30:05How you carry that stuff with you.
30:09That's why you should do the interview.
30:12I thought we'd finish with this.
30:16You're what Andre needs.
30:18You're serious about the work,
30:20but you're able to find that balance, Derek.
30:22There are stories only you can tell.
30:26Or not.
30:28Look, you don't have to tell Andre
30:30anything that's important to you.
30:33Everything's important to me.
30:35Especially you.
30:37Okay.
30:37So, tell him about being in the hospital.
30:40And how knowledgeable and attentive
30:42and compassionate your nurse Ashley was.
30:46Smartest person I know.
30:47She chose a guy like me to fall in love with.
30:50Finally!
30:51A man who loves me for my mind.
30:54That's not the only thing.
30:56No, there are at least a dozen reasons
30:59that I'm keeping for just between us.
31:01If you got some time, I'll show you a few.
31:12I'm sorry.
31:27Hey, babe.
31:28I was hoping you'd still be here.
31:31Look, tell me I'm not losing my mind.
31:33What's going on?
31:34It's something with my partner.
31:37we could talk about that later you look even more worried than when i left you what happened
31:42my grandparents were just here and the way they reacted when i told them what dad's done
31:47it was odd in what way they're worried about retaliation what dad will do if he loses
31:56okay and that leaves you where going after him with everything i've got
