00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06He's not answering my calls, he's not home, he's not at the hospital
00:09Which means there's a possibility he's in the one place I told him to stay far away from
00:13Grayson, Grayson
00:14I think something real is happening between us
00:17I just need to know that I'm not by myself and feeling it
00:20My wedding anniversary is coming up and you are trying to distract me by taking me out
00:24I don't want there to be bad blood between us
00:26And I think we want what's best for Nicole
00:29And you're assuming that that's you
00:31Every person involved has something to lose
00:33Priorities shift, Grandad
00:35Self-preservation doesn't
00:37What do you mean it's gone?
00:39You've got your briefs twisted over a little savings account I closed
00:43Why would you do that without telling me?
00:55Vanessa, mind if I join you for a minute?
00:59Have a seat
01:04I have something I'd like to ask you, but it's kind of sensitive
01:13What are you looking for?
01:15Oh, nothing important
01:16I am glad I ran into you
01:19Is that not music to my ears?
01:21Aha
01:23Hmm
01:24Uh, what do you have against my lip gloss?
01:26Well, I was hoping that you were looking for a certain key
01:29Like the one that I gave you to my place
01:32Nope
01:33But I did just spend the last hour thinking about you
01:37In fact, I was imagining your hands all over my body
01:50Oh
01:53Hey
01:54How'd you sneak up on me?
01:56A flight on my feet
01:58Or
01:59Maybe my devastatingly brilliant husband is too focused on his next legal triumph
02:04Well, the Edgar case can wait
02:07Especially since my very sexy paralegal is here on the job
02:12Hmm
02:12Well, the job will have to wait as well
02:15Because I have something you're going to die over
02:24What?
02:27Oh
02:28Ta-a-a-a
02:29Oh
02:29Oh
02:29Oh
02:31Mmm
02:32Mmm
03:06Hey, Shanice.
03:07Hey, Smeddy.
03:08I assume you're here to take pictures with Martin and kiss the baby foreheads and such.
03:12That's what happens at these photo ops, right?
03:15Martin's here?
03:16Well, by now, he's probably in the cafeteria for that pastries with politicians thing.
03:20Hopefully, he had it catered because the usual croissants they serve us?
03:24Hockey pucks, you hear me?
03:25Yeah, I think the event's called Coffee with Candidates, so no slap shots required.
03:31I'm actually here to talk to Ashley.
03:33Oh, she's not scheduled today.
03:35I'm sorry you made the trip.
03:37All right, it's all good.
03:40Hey, um, do you maybe have a few minutes to spare?
04:02Okay, all right, you're okay.
04:03You're okay.
04:04Hey, you're safe.
04:05You're here in my apartment.
04:08It's starting to hurt again.
04:09Yeah, well, that makes sense.
04:11You haven't had any more ibuprofen since before you fell asleep.
04:13Are you feeling any pain other than where the wound is?
04:16No, it's pretty localized.
04:18Okay, good.
04:18That means the infection is probably not spreading.
04:21Your latest temp I took a little while ago, your fever was pretty high.
04:27Your bandage is holding up.
04:30Is this okay?
04:32You can never hurt me.
04:34I can give you more over-the-counter meds, but I am really worried that whatever gave
04:39you this wound was dirty.
04:40I'm, this fever is really concerning me.
04:42Hey, how can you expect my temperature not to go up when I have such a hot girlfriend?
04:47That is so not funny, Grayson.
04:51Look, if you get any worse, I'm going to have to take you to a hospital.
04:54No, that's not happening.
05:01Who is Rashad?
05:04So I'm here about blood and plasma.
05:09That's an odd topic, especially for a non-medical professional.
05:14Yeah, but not for a recorder who is doing a piece on blood drives and donations.
05:20Yeah, the higher-ups at the paper, they want to increase public engagement and support for
05:25the program, so they sent me to get some color and some texture on the piece.
05:29Oh, well, the color is red and the texture is wet.
05:35I've got you.
05:36I'll do anything I can to help get the word out.
05:38We are in short supply in both, especially plasma lately.
05:42So how long has that been a problem?
05:44And is that only with certain blood types?
05:47Oh, you have to get specifics from the lab.
05:49But I can tell you this, getting blood drawn is not high on people's to-do list.
05:54Although, the cookies and OJ are pretty tasty.
05:57So what is the screening process like for blood donors?
06:02I would imagine that you want people that are healthy.
06:04So do doctors examine them?
06:06Oh, please.
06:07We don't have the staff for that.
06:08If there are no visible symptoms, we pretty much have to take people's word for it that
06:13they're healthy enough to donate.
06:14But the FDA does have mandates all hospitals have to follow before screening a potential
06:18donor.
06:19But I thought Garland kind of does its own thing.
06:23Other than being in compliance with the AMA, FDA, and other legal requirements?
06:27I'm not implying that the hospitals do anything wrong.
06:30I just thought that, you know, maybe it's a little different.
06:36And what would give you that idea?
06:39It was a lab tech.
06:41Her name was Rachel Lewis.
06:46Name sounds familiar.
06:48But then the labs had high turnover rate this past year.
06:51Is that so?
06:52Dealing with bodily fluids day and night isn't as glamorous as you may think.
06:57You said Rachel Lewis was her name?
06:59Yeah, that's right.
07:01Well, as much O.T. as she's been baking up, she ought to have a better lay of the land
07:05around here.
07:08Were you thinking about what I did the last time that we were together?
07:14No.
07:15But thank you for putting that in the forefront of my mind.
07:19Anytime.
07:21I did have my standing weekly massage appointment, but my usual masseuse called in sick.
07:26Hmm, and that substitute didn't have my magic hands.
07:30Could anyone?
07:32I was wondering.
07:34About the other thing that we did on the second time or the third time?
07:38As much as I am enjoying this multi-sensory memory engagement.
07:42God, I'm loving the shrink talk.
07:45What did you and Carlton have your heads together about yesterday?
07:49And are you spying on me or is that Carlton?
07:52Neither.
07:53And since you love my shrink talk, you should know evasiveness is never a good strategy.
07:59What's in it for me?
08:00I mean, that is, if I tell you, maybe an hour long special session.
08:06Just an hour?
08:07That is not very ambitious of you.
08:10Hmm.
08:11We were talking about that we both had feelings for you and the fact that we were not going
08:17Well, we weren't going anywhere, unless you said otherwise.
08:22So, we did what men do.
08:26I am not a fan of violence or find it amusing.
08:31Hmm.
08:31Neither do I.
08:32So we shot hoops.
08:36Did the best man win?
08:39It was a tie.
08:42Imagine that.
08:44First, I'd like you to know that my question is a little delicate.
08:49I can handle that.
08:51Normally, I wouldn't even approach you about this, but you're really the only person I can ask.
08:56Let me make this easier for you.
08:58I think I might know what this is about.
09:00You do?
09:02Kat.
09:03You want to talk to someone close to her, but not her mother, because that would be too awkward.
09:07I'm afraid I can't offer any insight there.
09:10It's not Kat.
09:11You were working with Lynette Wise on a real estate deal, right?
09:16I was.
09:17Emphasis on the past tense.
09:20I put a hell of a lot of work into that, too.
09:22I even used a long-standing business connection to grease the wheels because her lack of documentation
09:27raised some red flags, all for her to vanish on me at the last minute.
09:31She just went completely no contact.
09:34She sent me a text after I called and texted her a dozen times.
09:38What did it say?
09:40Basically, that she was leaving town.
09:42What about the penthouse?
09:44Where does that stand?
09:45Tomas, you're getting a penthouse?
09:48Wow.
09:49Caroline gets a Benz.
09:50Haley gets pretty much whatever her grubby little heart desires, including an impressive
09:55new ring set, from what I hear.
09:58Has Bill lost his sense and complete control of his checkbook?
10:01What the hell is going on at that law firm?
10:05I decided to bring you a taste of St. Bart's here in D.C.
10:09You made this?
10:11Well, I could have.
10:13I went to a hole in the wall spot instead.
10:16Hey, give them a try.
10:17You're going to feel like we're back in our village.
10:19Yeah.
10:20Well, these do look pretty tasty.
10:23Wow.
10:26Where'd you get them?
10:27Capitol Grove.
10:28What?
10:29What?
10:42Oh, my God.
10:43Dad, are you okay?
10:45Yeah, I'm fine.
10:47Well, if you weren't pounding on him that hard, he'd probably have his breath back already.
10:51I don't think you're helping, Naomi.
10:53What the hell did I just walk in on?
10:55I was just bringing a bit of St. Bart's to your father.
10:59By choking him to death?
11:02Here, honey.
11:03Small sips, okay?
11:04And would you two please stop fussing?
11:06I am perfectly fine.
11:08There's no need to overreact.
11:10Well, some of us didn't act at all.
11:14Did you miss more than just my magic hands while I was away?
11:19I particularly missed your thumbs.
11:23They work wonders on the tension in my neck.
11:25Hmm.
11:27Is that all?
11:27I mean, because my ego is shrinking with every word.
11:31If you must know.
11:33Oh, I must.
11:35I missed your company.
11:37Now that you're living here, I'm getting used to you being just a short drive away.
11:41Hmm.
11:42But I assume that was your plan all along?
11:46It depends.
11:47Is it working?
11:52Hmm.
11:58I...
11:58Who is he?
11:59Does he have something to do with why you're hurt?
12:03I wish I could tell you everything.
12:04I really think we're past the stage where you only show me the things you want me to see.
12:08I know.
12:09And I probably screwed things up first, which is the last thing that I ever wanted.
12:13You haven't.
12:15But what I want is for you to trust me.
12:17I thought you showing up at my place last night meant you could.
12:19This isn't about trust for me.
12:20It is for me.
12:23I'm trying to protect you.
12:24There are things that you are better off not knowing.
12:26I am stronger than you think I am.
12:29I know you're strong.
12:29I'm not questioning your capabilities.
12:31But there are things, Ashley.
12:32There are people in my life.
12:33If anything ever happened to you, I don't know what I would do with myself.
12:36But something has already happened to you.
12:39You're worried about me.
12:44I'm really feeling it.
12:45Okay.
12:45I'm getting you prescription antibiotics.
12:48I want answers from you, but I need you alive more.
12:51I'll be back soon.
13:02Yo, man, what's up?
13:04I've been trying to reach you all night.
13:05What the hell happened?
13:06What did you hear?
13:07That Wren delivered a message.
13:09That was Wren.
13:10I skipped the introductions and went straight to the stabbing.
13:15Stabbed?
13:16I knew it was worse than bruised ribs, but damn.
13:19Okay, okay, um, all right, where are you?
13:22And please don't tell me you're at Ashley's.
13:26I'm somewhere safe.
13:28I don't want to end up like Max, so I'm staying out of sight.
13:30Nah, that can't happen.
13:31You got to surface.
13:33We got a drop today, and it has to go according to schedule.
13:36Or we're both dead.
13:42Did you speak to your boys today?
13:44I texted with Connor earlier, and I was on the phone reaching out to Noah,
13:50and his guitar answered the phone for him.
13:53Getting his 10,000 hours in early, huh?
13:55Well, I'm just glad that he's refining his talent.
13:58I mean, if you would have heard him 10 years ago,
14:01it's, you know what, better yet that you didn't.
14:04That bad.
14:05Let's just say I used to hide earplugs in every room
14:09just in case he started playing.
14:11Martin went through a brief drum phase.
14:14Ooh.
14:15I always encouraged my children to pursue their dreams,
14:18but Ted and I...
14:21Well, let's just say we weren't upset
14:23when Martin came home and said he was over drums.
14:26I share your parental relief.
14:30I haven't had the chance to meet Martin.
14:32Oh, he is really busy on the re-election campaign.
14:37I think you have nothing to worry about.
14:39He's got a good platform.
14:41I will relay your compliments.
14:43You know, I'd like to do that myself.
14:45I look forward to having the opportunity to cross paths with Martin.
14:50And the next time my boys are in town visiting,
14:52I'd like for you all to meet.
14:54It's about time they get to meet the famous Nicole Dupree.
14:58You told them about me?
15:01I'm sorry?
15:01Did I share the unspoken rule?
15:07I'm surprised Rachel gave you that erroneous information.
15:10That makes the hospital look bad.
15:11I'm going to have to have a talking with her.
15:13Don't.
15:13I probably just misunderstood what she said.
15:16So there are other people in the lab
15:17who have been here longer than a mere four months.
15:19You should interview them.
15:20I will get right on that.
15:22Good.
15:23Anything you need for this interview, you can give me a call.
15:26I've told Naomi that I would love to be an expert witness in court.
15:29But being an expert in the court of public opinion
15:31is almost as good.
15:32And it helped me build my brand.
15:34Well, I think that your brand is pretty strong.
15:36People around here hang on your every word.
15:39As they should.
15:40Hey, Shanice.
15:51Hey, Ashley.
15:52You just missed Smitty.
15:53Oh.
15:54He was looking for you, but I think I got him what he needed.
15:57Okay, fine.
15:59Well, you're not on the schedule today.
16:00What's going on?
16:02I know you don't love this place that much.
16:04I swapped with Ginny.
16:05You see, that Ginny is working my last good nerves
16:07with all these last-minute switcheroos.
16:09I need to know these things beforehand.
16:11Uh, this one's on me.
16:12Don't blame her.
16:14I'm surprised you took an early morning shift.
16:16Didn't that hunky man of yours keep you up late last night?
16:21He sure did.
16:22Oh, I know my chicken recipe slaps.
16:24What'd he rate it?
16:25Anything less than a 10 out of 10 is unacceptable.
16:28Sorry, you know what?
16:29When I start a shift behind schedule,
16:31it just really throws me off.
16:33Yeah, I hear you.
16:34Even after all this time,
16:35just when you think you have a handle on things,
16:37life shows you otherwise.
16:40I know Bill's been feeling his own mortality lately,
16:43but that's no reason to go all Oprah giveaway on us.
16:46Tomas, has Bill been exhibiting signs of having another stroke?
16:50Has he been walking around the office thinking he's smelling toast?
16:53I promise you the boss is very much at the top of his game.
16:57Amusing as this all is, Danny.
16:59That's not what Tomas and I were discussing.
17:01Bill's not giving me anything.
17:03Least of all, a penthouse.
17:04We were talking about a client who ghosted me.
17:07And this concerns you how?
17:08That was going to be my question.
17:09Talk faster next time.
17:11I knew her as well,
17:12and I'm getting the feeling she hasn't been entirely forthright with me.
17:16A client?
17:17Misleading their attorney?
17:19Well, wonders never cease.
17:20Vanessa, when did you last see her?
17:23She disappeared right after I showed her the Logan Circle property.
17:27Oof!
17:28Or just neighborhood.
17:29Seems your real estate wraith wanted nothing but the best.
17:33Tomas, your turn.
17:34You know why she hired me.
17:36Why did she hire Bill's firm?
17:39You know, I can't tell you that.
17:41But I can't say that the charges were dropped.
17:43Does this woman have a name?
17:44Lynette Wise.
17:46Lynette Wise.
17:47I think she was facing some pretty serious embezzlement charges,
17:50which were dropped by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
17:54How much heavy lifting did that take?
17:56Quite a bit.
17:57Danny, how did you find that out so fast?
17:59Married to one attorney, birthed another.
18:01I know a few tricks of the legal trade.
18:03I thought something seemed a little off with her,
18:06but her whole lease-to-buy proposal checked out.
18:09So then she did tell you that Haley was buying the place as an investment option
18:13and would let her live there?
18:16No, she didn't.
18:19Haley, being generous?
18:21No way.
18:22That woman doesn't do anything out of the goodness of her tiny little heart.
18:30Naomi, I was in shock.
18:33You arrived just as I was coming out of it.
18:35You look pretty still to me.
18:38Haley said that she got this breakfast from Capitol Grove.
18:42Capitol Grove?
18:43That's a pretty shady part of town.
18:45Yeah, that's what caught me off guard,
18:47especially given certain recent incidents.
18:50Babe, I didn't mean to worry you.
18:52I was in and out of the restaurant in just a few minutes.
18:54And you weren't safe for even a few seconds over there,
18:57especially since we still don't have a location on your attacker.
18:59Come on.
19:01I was just trying to do something nice for you.
19:03I am so sorry that I was focused on making you happy.
19:07I didn't think about my own safety.
19:10I hate how much this mugging has taken away from me.
19:13In more ways than one.
19:16Meaning?
19:17Look, if this is about Lynette, please,
19:20we don't have to worry about her ever again.
19:23You sound pretty certain.
19:26Yeah.
19:27Why is that?
19:30Why is that?
19:34No, no rules broken.
19:37I'm just a little surprised, Kyle.
19:39What you and I have isn't, uh,
19:43exactly formal.
19:45And my boys aren't into formality,
19:48just like their dad.
19:50I just want to even the scales.
19:52I mean, our first date,
19:53I feel like I was at a sea of Dupree's.
19:56I met the entire family.
19:59I mean, not to mention that I got to meet your ex
20:02and the other gentleman
20:04who was competing for your attention.
20:06I never meant for you to feel
20:09surrounded or unsettled.
20:10I'm nothing but at ease when I'm with you.
20:14This is just me giving my boys a heads up.
20:17It's just,
20:18well, I feel when I'm with you
20:20and I'm not talking about you.
20:22With them,
20:22I feel like I'm just hiding something from them.
20:25I guess it's only fair.
20:28I wouldn't hide the fact
20:29that I'm seeing you from my children.
20:32But you introducing your sons to me,
20:34it wasn't that long ago
20:36that they lost their mother.
20:38Some days feel like forever ago.
20:40And others,
20:43our lives didn't end when their mothers did.
20:45And my boys understand that.
20:47They just want to see their old men happy.
20:49And what have you told them about me?
20:52I told them that I met someone
20:53that makes me want to run in place
20:55for the moment.
20:57They were sold.
20:59Sight unseen.
21:02I wish all kids could be as understanding
21:04after losing a parent.
21:07Hey,
21:09where'd you go just then?
21:10Oh, I'm sorry.
21:11I was thinking about Deanna.
21:13You want Deanna to show
21:14the same grace to Vanessa
21:15that my boys gave me?
21:17I do.
21:18And then,
21:19maybe I don't.
21:21I knew Lynette had a benefactor,
21:23but I didn't realize it was Hayley.
21:26Why would she, of all people,
21:27be buying a place for Lynette to lease?
21:30She saved Hayley
21:32when she was being attacked.
21:33Maybe Hayley felt like
21:35she owed her something.
21:36A handwritten thank you?
21:38Sure.
21:39Maybe a hefty gift card,
21:40but a penthouse?
21:41I still can't believe
21:42she was attacked outside here
21:44and in broad daylight at that.
21:45The two of them became
21:46close afterwards.
21:48Or she latched onto the poor woman
21:50because she was trying to increase
21:51her friend count to one.
21:52But you know what?
21:53I have much better things
21:55to do with my life
21:55than to waste my brain space
21:56on Hayley.
21:57She is beneath my bandwidth.
21:59Nope.
22:01Absolutely do not care.
22:05You're trying to find more information
22:07on Lynette, aren't you?
22:07Something sticks.
22:09Much like Hayley's abysmal perfume.
22:10Let's see what we can find.
22:13I mean, maybe it's nothing.
22:14Hayley gets mugged.
22:15She meets this woman.
22:16They become instant BFFs.
22:18Wait.
22:20What?
22:23I've met your mutual client.
22:26Bill, I already told you.
22:28Lynette texts me
22:29that she's leaving town.
22:31So she's really gone?
22:34Never to be seen again.
22:35Then we can all move forward.
22:38Okay?
22:39Now, I have an appointment,
22:41so I will leave you two to whatever.
22:49These brats keep getting in my way.
22:53I can't wait till that whole damn family
22:54is out of my head.
22:56I really don't want to get into another argument
22:58about my wife with my daughter.
22:59I'm still getting my breath back.
23:01I'm nearly choking to death.
23:03Dad, don't joke about that.
23:06I mean it.
23:11Here's tea at the bed 7-12.
23:28I wasn't sure if you'd show.
23:31I had to.
23:33I used my one warning already.
23:35Yeah, me too.
23:38Thanks.
23:40Doing this for you
23:41as much as I am for myself.
23:45Damn, man.
23:46You look like hell.
23:48I'll live.
23:49I think.
23:52You left Ashley out of this
23:53like I told you, right?
23:56I would never let her get hurt
23:58because of me.
24:10Oh, well, if it isn't our favorite ab tech.
24:14Yeah, I can't believe that pun caught on
24:17the way it did in certain circles.
24:20Have you seen Leah in the room?
24:23No, but the chief's always around someplace.
24:27So, about your dinner last night.
24:29On a scale from 1 to 10.
24:32Grayson, you don't look so good.
24:40Grayson, what a nice surprise.
24:44What's going on here?
24:45Uh, that's what I would like to know.
24:47Did you mess up my recipe?
24:49Because Grayson looks like he needs to be in a bed
24:51in exam room 3.
24:52Uh, no, I followed your recipe to the letter.
24:54I think we just, um,
24:56I think we enjoyed a little too much wine with it.
24:59Well, it doesn't look like a hangover to me.
25:03My head.
25:07Well, as long as it was the red wine
25:09and not my red sauce to blame.
25:11Ashley, you ready to get started?
25:13Oh, uh, you know, funny thing.
25:15Ginny and I, we, um, we got our wires crossed
25:17and she's gonna come in for the shift after all.
25:19So, I think I'm just, I'm gonna go home.
25:21What?
25:22Wires crossed?
25:24Okay, it sounds like Grayson
25:25isn't the only one who overindulged last night.
25:28You don't need to drink that brand ever again.
25:30Yeah.
25:31Dr. Perkins, you have imaging on line four.
25:34Oh.
25:36What the hell are you doing here?
25:38I said I would get you what you need.
25:40Yeah.
25:41I had a run-in with Haley and this Lynette woman.
25:45She was totally fangirling.
25:46It was glorious.
25:47I'm sure.
25:48But it wasn't all ego on my part.
25:49It was also the steam coming out of Haley's ears
25:53as Lynette gave me my flowers.
25:55So you saw them hanging out together.
25:56That's not so surprising
25:58since they're obviously close enough
26:00for Haley to pay for Lynette's living arrangement.
26:03When did you see them together?
26:05Hmm.
26:06I had an impromptu meeting with a client,
26:08so that would have been late January,
26:11early February, the latest.
26:12That means you saw them together
26:14before Haley was mine.
26:17Now you have my full attention.
26:20Naomi, it was just a joke.
26:22Jokes about life and death are just not funny, Dad.
26:24Okay, sweetheart.
26:26What's wrong?
26:28It's just been a roller coaster.
26:31And I came here to discuss the motion on Madison's case.
26:34I think we need to, um, flesh out her affidavit,
26:37and I've got some ideas.
26:38Back and wait.
26:39What's going on?
26:40Are you stressed out because Jacob is still away training?
26:44Okay, you didn't have to say it like that.
26:47Besides, we've talked this into the ground.
26:49And we'll keep talking about it
26:50until I understand what's going on with you.
26:52Well, don't, because this isn't about me or my life.
26:55And why is it every time your wife does something,
26:57you want to turn the conversation around to my marriage?
27:00Wait, that is not what I'm doing.
27:02And I can't pretend that I don't see what's playing this day.
27:05Really?
27:06That's funny, because when it comes to your own marriage,
27:09you seem to be blind as a bat.
27:12Oh.
27:18Is Grayson going to be okay?
27:20I have to believe so.
27:21Because as bad as he looked,
27:22he was still able to make the drop.
27:24He must have a lot on the line.
27:26We all do.
27:29I think you're planning to get him to trust you.
27:31He's working.
27:32Yeah, sometimes I think that too.
27:34But he's still not dropping any names.
27:36Dragging himself to the hospital to do the drop
27:38just shows how invested he is at staying alive.
27:40We can't assume it's anything more than that.
27:43Grayson did really come through for us when we needed to warn Max.
27:47Maybe now that he's put a target on his own back,
27:49if you talk to him outside of the hospital,
27:50he might come clean about who he's reporting to.
27:53Yeah, maybe.
27:54But my take is he's still holding firm to that.
27:57But we have to take the impaler down before it's too late for everybody,
28:00and somebody ends up getting killed.
28:03Shanice at the hospital.
28:04She said that Rachel Lewis is logging some serious overtime,
28:09which coincides with the debt that she's juggling.
28:12And she's been working at the lab for four months.
28:14Yeah, but Grayson's been moving plasma for almost a year.
28:17So his boss in the ring would have to have been there for at least that long.
28:20Well, Rachel still might be involved.
28:22Maybe she came to Garland from another place.
28:25I'll run the hire dates from the list that I found on Nicole's computer.
28:30What are you thinking?
28:32I feel like the walls are closing in, man.
28:34This job is taking way too long.
28:37During my first stint as an investigative reporter,
28:40I could feel when a case was about to bust wide open.
28:43And I feel that now.
28:45Garland is going to lead us where we need to go.
28:48It better.
28:49Because there are only two outcomes here.
28:52Either your story sees the light of day,
28:56or I don't.
29:09Nurse Johnson to bed, 6.51.
29:19Nurse Morgan, you're not supposed to be here.
29:29Um, hi, Chief.
29:31What do you mean?
29:32I didn't see your name on the schedule.
29:35I swapped shifts with Ginny.
29:37Oh, or I thought I did,
29:38but it turns out that we got our dates confused.
29:41I see.
29:43Well, since you're here,
29:44we can use you.
29:46Uh, but I...
29:47I'm glad that worked out.
29:48Get back to work.
29:55I need you to take these antibiotics and my keys
29:58and go back to my place, okay?
30:01I think it's better if I stay.
30:02You need to rest.
30:04You need to trust me on this.
30:06And we cannot discuss this here.
30:09Did the person who did this to you work here?
30:12At Garland?
30:13Back to work, people.
30:15Lots to do.
30:17Morgan,
30:18go check on that drift in 33.
30:21It should be just about done.
30:23I'll do that.
30:25I'll get to the lab.
30:33Your little girlfriend better not know a damn thing.
30:38I'm not stupid.
30:41Could have fooled me.
30:43You look like crap.
30:45Go home.
30:47Don't worry about Ashley.
30:49I'll keep my eye on her.
30:53You know, I've heard some serious stories about Joey Armstrong.
30:58Is there any of them true?
31:00Whatever you have heard is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
31:05But I am trying not to say things like that anymore.
31:09Since I agreed to back off of my disapproval of Joey,
31:13hopefully Deanna can get through to her mother.
31:16I don't believe that Deanna will be a fan of the Joey Vanessa romance anytime soon.
31:22This last year has been a change for all of us.
31:27I was at my daughter's birthday party recently,
31:29and I realized my life looks completely different than it did.
31:34It's the new normal.
31:36Do me a favor.
31:38Anything.
31:38As long as it's not distance time, I can always give you.
31:41Next time I verbally meander, just stop me.
31:47I understand my assignment.
31:49And I just want you to know that I take my chief distraction officer job very seriously.
31:55Well, then how about we get out of here and find something more exciting to do?
31:59All right, Mom.
32:15Jacob, are you okay?
32:18I am.
32:19I just need you to know I love you.
32:22I love you too.
32:24Are you sure you're okay?
32:26I'm fine.
32:27I just need you to know that I'm doing everything in my power to make it home to you.
32:31Back to our bed, our light, our love.
32:35Completely out of the shadows that I've been hiding in.
32:38This is scaring me, Jacob.
32:41Don't let it.
32:42I feel like I'm getting close to solving this thing.
32:45The closer you get to your goal, the higher the risk for all of us.
32:57Is it safe to enter?
33:00Yeah.
33:01I have a lot to catch up on.
33:03Well, I would have brought you a sweet treat, but it didn't seem wise under the circumstances.
33:12I hope that didn't take your breath away.
33:15Well, at least not in a bad way.
33:17No.
33:18I'm just fine.
33:20Okay.
33:21What did Naomi have to say?
33:24Well, she managed to say nothing and a whole damn light all at the same time.
33:29Did Naomi and Jacob have a lover's pet?
33:32It's more than that.
33:34Well, I'm sure they'll work through whatever's going on.
33:39But back to us.
33:42Listen, as badly as that might have turned out, I sprained that St. Bart's Island-themed breakfast on you this
33:51morning for a reason.
33:53The reason being?
33:54We need an actual vacation, Bill.
33:58Not just one night.
34:00Even our makeshift island lovemaking in our own house was interrupted by your former father-in-law.
34:08Well, now's not the time, Haley.
34:10Okay?
34:11There's too much going on around here for us to take a vacation.
34:13Even you have to recharge sometime.
34:16Haley, like I said, now is not the time.
34:20There are threats to my family happening all around me, and I won't stand for it.
34:27I'm sorry.
34:28I shouldn't be bothering you with this.
34:29Like you said, Danny, you have much better things to do with you.
34:31Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:32You started this.
34:33You don't get to pull back.
34:35I just meant that I got to get back to work.
34:37You know, my boss is a real hard ass.
34:39Lucky for you, I have it in with that guy.
34:42So, what does Bill think of his child-brides-embezzling bestie?
34:49You can do this the easy way or the hard way.
34:55He's worried that Lynette's been taking advantage of her, and he asked me to look into it.
35:01That's why you were asking me all those questions.
35:04But why would Lynette disappear when she's about to score a new life courtesy of the Happy
35:08Hamiltons?
35:10Maybe because there was a little more going on there?
35:13No.
35:14Bill may be a serial cheater, but a thruple?
35:17It's way too much emotional work for my ex.
35:19Okay, we've gotten a little off point here.
35:21Oh, here's my point.
35:22Whatever you dig up, you share with me.
35:25No way.
35:26Yes way.
35:27Haley's not innocent.
35:29Not now, not ever.
35:31And whatever's going on, or went on with Lynette, might blow back on my family.
35:37I need to be able to see what's coming.
36:09I need to be able to see what's coming.
36:12I need to be able to see what's coming.
36:21Let's go.em.
36:32You準備好き
36:33Let's go.
36:33Let's go.
36:34Let's go.
36:35Let's go.
36:39Let's go.
