00:00:59Hey! Neil, Terry.
00:01:02Good to meet you.
00:01:03Welcome to Fiji.
00:01:05First time here?
00:01:06Yeah.
00:01:07Well, you have to check out the island while you're working with Jordan.
00:01:13So, how long have you been here?
00:01:15Uh, four months.
00:01:17I've been Jordan's coach for four years, so when he decided to come down here and recover,
00:01:22I, uh, came along.
00:01:24More of a moral support at this point, I suppose.
00:01:27Yeah, well, he couldn't have picked a nicer spot.
00:01:29Can't believe the last physical therapist left.
00:01:59But Jordan's had a hard time adjusting to his injuries.
00:02:03It's made treating him, uh, taxing.
00:02:06Oh.
00:02:07Well, I'm here to help.
00:02:15This is your room.
00:02:19Wow.
00:02:20This is great.
00:02:29When you're ready, Jordan's expecting you.
00:02:31Oh, sure.
00:02:33Same thing every day.
00:02:34It's not rocket science.
00:02:35Yes, Mr. Goode.
00:02:36Every time I use this shoulder, it throbs in pain.
00:02:39At the end of the day, I need my rest.
00:02:41Yes, sir.
00:02:42Just make the bed the way I want it.
00:02:43All right.
00:02:46Jordan!
00:02:47Is that you, Neil?
00:02:49Yeah.
00:02:54Who's this?
00:02:56Miss Vaughn.
00:02:58Please, call me Ellie.
00:03:00You're the physical therapist?
00:03:02Yes.
00:03:03Did you lie on your resume?
00:03:05What?
00:03:06You don't look old enough to be a decent physical therapist.
00:03:08Age doesn't mean that I haven't studied and worked hard to do my job.
00:03:13Maybe.
00:03:15The others were worthless no matter what their age, so you might have a point.
00:03:19If you have any doubts about my abilities...
00:03:22Neil, we're good.
00:03:32Is that your family?
00:03:35Yes.
00:03:36Did they visit here?
00:03:37Let's get this out of the way.
00:03:39My life, not your concern.
00:03:41And you're not here to be my friend, either.
00:03:44Your whole purpose in being here is to get me moving this arm again, without being in agony.
00:03:50All right.
00:03:53I have zero confidence in your type.
00:03:55So far, it's been nothing but a massive waste of time and money.
00:04:00So, why did you hire me, then?
00:04:02What?
00:04:03If you doubt me and my type so much, why did you bring me here?
00:04:06Because I've been in this country for four months now, away from people who know who I am so they don't see me like this.
00:04:13I can't stay here forever.
00:04:15Tennis is a year-round sport, and every competition I miss, money not earned.
00:04:19I want to go home, not live in exile for the rest of my life.
00:04:23That sounds like a goal to me.
00:04:26Excuse me?
00:04:27A goal.
00:04:28Every patient I...
00:04:29Don't use that word.
00:04:31Uh, uh, what?
00:04:33I'm not your patient.
00:04:34I'm your boss.
00:04:36Everyone that I work with needs to have a goal to work towards.
00:04:39Well, congratulations.
00:04:41We have a goal.
00:04:43Now get working on it.
00:04:45How about we start with some exercises, so...
00:04:47Not today.
00:04:48I'm busy.
00:04:49Uh, uh, okay.
00:04:50So when should we...
00:04:51Tomorrow morning, 11 o'clock.
00:04:55Okay.
00:04:57Looking forward to it.
00:04:59Hey, Cynthia.
00:05:23You made it.
00:05:24How is it?
00:05:26It's beautiful here.
00:05:28Fiji is...
00:05:29Wow.
00:05:30Show me.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:34Here we go.
00:05:36Not a bad gig, huh?
00:05:39Mostly.
00:05:40I met my patient today.
00:05:42And?
00:05:43He's...
00:05:45Let's just say it's definitely going to be work.
00:05:48Sorry.
00:05:50Every patient's got some struggles to overcome.
00:05:52You'll get him there.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:55So, what's going on back home?
00:05:57Is that your way of asking if I fed your fish?
00:06:00They're fine, by the way.
00:06:03No, I meant...
00:06:04How are things at the clinic?
00:06:06They're settling down.
00:06:08It's not the same without you, though.
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:12They're lost, huh?
00:06:13Although I envy this private gig you've got.
00:06:16Yeah, I owe you.
00:06:17No, you don't.
00:06:18But if you insist...
00:06:20Maybe you can fly me down there.
00:06:22I have been working really hard.
00:06:25I think you overestimate what I'm being paid.
00:06:28This may look like a vacation, but...
00:06:30It's not.
00:06:31Hello.
00:06:40Hello.
00:06:45I thought we could start with an exam today.
00:06:47You're not a doctor.
00:06:49No.
00:06:50But it would help me.
00:06:51Better help you.
00:06:55Fine.
00:06:55Let's go ahead and take this off.
00:07:05How often do you wear this sling?
00:07:08During the day.
00:07:09Hurts more without it.
00:07:11Can you stand for me?
00:07:17Go ahead and let your arm hang down at your side.
00:07:20Is that hurting?
00:07:22It's not comfortable.
00:07:23Go ahead and let your arm dangle at your side and just rotate in small circles.
00:07:30What's next?
00:07:31Blowing bubbles?
00:07:34Bring your arm up in a slow curl.
00:07:39Pain?
00:07:40There's always pain.
00:07:42Are you taking anything for it?
00:07:44Over-the-counter stuff.
00:07:46And is it helping?
00:07:48Not really.
00:07:51The doctors won't prescribe anything stronger anymore.
00:07:54Can I check your shoulder?
00:08:01Sorry.
00:08:04I don't want you wearing those.
00:08:06What?
00:08:08Scrubs?
00:08:09This isn't a hospital.
00:08:11It's dressed normally.
00:08:13Okay.
00:08:16Are you doing any prescribed exercises?
00:08:19They hurt.
00:08:21Is that a yes or a no?
00:08:23Just do your job and get me well.
00:08:25Sure.
00:08:27Pretty certain I packed my magic wand in here.
00:08:29Hello?
00:08:30Hello?
00:08:32Regina?
00:08:35Jordan?
00:08:38Oh, are you working on your shoulder?
00:08:39We can come back.
00:08:40No, no.
00:08:40We're done.
00:08:42What are you doing here?
00:08:43I wasn't expecting you.
00:08:45Dale sent me.
00:08:46We have business to get done and want our star client back on the court.
00:08:49Excuse me.
00:08:50We really should get started.
00:08:52I'm busy.
00:08:53Regina works with Jordan's agent.
00:08:55Physical therapist?
00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:57This is Ellie.
00:08:59Jordan, Regina just got in.
00:09:01Why don't we get her settled?
00:09:02You two can finish up.
00:09:04Or maybe she could come back?
00:09:06I'm starving.
00:09:07How about we get something to eat?
00:09:08Perfect.
00:09:08Let's go.
00:09:09Care to join us?
00:09:10No.
00:09:11Neil.
00:09:12What?
00:09:13She has to eat.
00:09:14I'm sure she has things she's supposed to be doing.
00:09:16I'd like to discuss some business with Jordan.
00:09:20I really should start on my plan for Jordan's recovery.
00:09:24I'll come back later.
00:09:26Tomorrow's fine.
00:09:27Before you go, can I get your therapy records?
00:09:30I thought you had those.
00:09:31I received the ones from when you were in the U.S. only.
00:09:34I mean the records from your more recent therapists.
00:09:38It would help make it some sense on your shoulder's recovery.
00:09:41I'll have them sent to your room.
00:09:42Oh, man.
00:09:52Oh, my God.
00:09:56Um, Harper, Wang, where are you going to go?
00:10:11Wow.
00:10:14I have to say, Jordan, when you get away, you pick a nice place.
00:10:25The downside is being away from all the action.
00:10:28The best thing you can do for that is work on your recovery.
00:10:31And Dale sent me to keep you focused.
00:10:33There's a lot of tournaments coming up.
00:10:36Gotta get you back in the game and up your ranking.
00:10:39When he's ready.
00:10:40Of course.
00:10:42But isn't it great? I get to keep you company.
00:10:44And I'll also get to keep you in the loop on the business buzz.
00:10:49Dale spoke with a few of your endorsements.
00:10:51They were getting nervous about when you're coming back.
00:10:54I'll reassure them. It's just a matter of time.
00:10:57No pressure.
00:10:59They're happy, so there's no need to worry for now.
00:11:04I do keep thinking that we should push this as a comeback story.
00:11:07Yeah, we're glad you came down here, but let's not forget why Jordan's here.
00:11:11Of course. I want what's best for you, first and foremost.
00:11:17I'm just excited to have you home.
00:11:21I just feel bad you're here to babysit me.
00:11:24Nonsense.
00:11:26I'm happy to.
00:11:28How about that?
00:11:34Hey.
00:11:35Hey, how was your day?
00:11:37How was your day?
00:11:38Only so productive.
00:11:40How'd you get a chance to relax?
00:11:42Jordan's giving me plenty of time to relax, but I want to get going on helping him.
00:11:48Well, I admire your drive.
00:11:50So, why'd you take this job?
00:11:54Sure you're plenty busy at home?
00:11:56I was.
00:11:57But the clinic I worked at had some layoffs.
00:12:02Ah.
00:12:03So you're here for the adventure.
00:12:05Something like that.
00:12:10Can I ask, how do you manage Jordan?
00:12:15I'm sorry, can I call him that, or should I call him Mr. Greer?
00:12:18Call him Jordan.
00:12:20You know, I've coached Jordan for years, and I've worked with other people.
00:12:25You know, some players have big personalities, and they love the drama and the theatrics on and off the court.
00:12:37But, you know, Jordan's not like that.
00:12:40He's different.
00:12:42He's special.
00:12:44How so?
00:12:46You know, it's very easy for these athletes to get all the attention and, you know, the ego to only think about themselves.
00:12:53But, it's not like that.
00:12:56Look, I know it doesn't seem like it now, but, you know, a lot has happened.
00:13:05He was injured in a crash, right?
00:13:08I mean, the details are sparse.
00:13:10Were you in it?
00:13:12No, I wasn't.
00:13:14And, uh, he doesn't really like to talk about it.
00:13:18Anyway, to answer your original question, how do I deal with Jordan?
00:13:24Um, I don't let him push me away.
00:13:29I can't help how he reacts to his situation, but I need him to trust me so he can make progress.
00:13:36Well, trust is a tricky thing.
00:13:39Why?
00:13:40Well, he has to respect you first.
00:13:43Any ideas?
00:13:44Well, he sees you as a profession, not as a person yet.
00:13:49You know, he's had plenty of people that look at him as a condition or a chart.
00:13:56Let him see you're different.
00:13:58I want him to get better, I do, but I don't know him well enough to know how to push him.
00:14:03Especially since he's very...
00:14:07How do I put this nicely?
00:14:09I know.
00:14:11It'll come with time.
00:14:13Just give it a shot anyway.
00:14:18I get that the endorsements are slow, but...
00:14:21Well, that's why I insured my arm.
00:14:24Right, but you can't expect me to just dive in and be instantly competitive after an injury.
00:14:33Yes.
00:14:35All right.
00:14:36Talk to you later.
00:14:39I thought we could work on some water exercises today.
00:14:42Not today.
00:14:43Well, we gotta start sometime.
00:14:45Got your swimsuit on?
00:14:46I've got a lot on my mind.
00:14:48And there's always going to be a reason not to start.
00:14:51Wow, you're a physical therapist and a life coach.
00:14:54Come on.
00:14:55It'll help ease the pain you're in, too.
00:14:57How would you know?
00:14:59Well, have you tried it lately?
00:15:00I mean, the water feels great.
00:15:02I'm working right now.
00:15:04Well, you finished your call, and it's 11 o'clock, so I'm here.
00:15:07Well, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, but you work for me.
00:15:12So come back when I feel like it.
00:15:14Why did you bring me here if you're unwilling to try?
00:15:23Who says I'm not willing to try?
00:15:25You say you want to get better, but you never make time to do anything about it.
00:15:29You've been here two days. Don't you think Nevers have been much?
00:15:32I came here to help you, as I'm sure the other therapists did before me.
00:15:37But you keep blaming everyone else, but at some point you have to admit the problem isn't them.
00:15:43Whatever.
00:15:44I went over your other therapists' files.
00:15:46Your shoulder is getting worse.
00:15:48I know!
00:15:50Why do you think I fired them?
00:15:52It's my arm.
00:15:53Trust me, I've noticed the pain is getting worse.
00:15:57When someone is going through physical therapy, generally their condition either improves or worsens.
00:16:04Wow, that's profound.
00:16:06You want to know what the difference is?
00:16:09The patient.
00:16:10Don't use that word.
00:16:11It is the effort you are willing to give.
00:16:14You are far behind where you should be.
00:16:16Your range of motion is barely better than your post-op.
00:16:19So you either do the therapy to strengthen your shoulder, or you let it atrophy.
00:16:27If you don't try, and I mean really work at this, tennis will be impossible.
00:16:34I don't appreciate scare tactics.
00:16:38I'm not trying to scare you.
00:16:43One week.
00:16:45What?
00:16:46Give me three hours a day for one week.
00:16:50That is not possible.
00:16:52You've spent months without making any progress.
00:16:54Why not try?
00:16:56If you feel there's no improvement, I'll fly myself home.
00:17:02Fine.
00:17:04Seven days.
00:17:05Seven days.
00:17:16Hey, is everything okay?
00:17:18It will be.
00:17:19Is it giving you trouble?
00:17:20I can handle it.
00:17:31I just passed a soggy therapist on my way over here.
00:17:41Remember Kyle Carney?
00:17:44Carney?
00:17:46Yeah, you coached him for two years.
00:17:50That's right.
00:17:52Remember how nobody liked him?
00:17:54You said he never listened.
00:17:55No, he didn't.
00:17:57Not until that second year.
00:18:00Then he went on to be ranked in the top dead.
00:18:02Yeah, then he dumped you and brought in a whole new entourage.
00:18:05Yep.
00:18:07But I didn't care.
00:18:08You know why?
00:18:11Because he started to try.
00:18:13He started to trust and listen to people.
00:18:17And once he did that, he went on to become a better player.
00:18:22And surprisingly, one that was easier to be around.
00:18:25Why are you telling me this?
00:18:27Because I'm afraid that you're doing the exact opposite.
00:18:30Look, it's hard for me to even listen to you when I'm not even able to train.
00:18:34Look, you haven't been the same since the crash.
00:18:38Okay, and nobody's expecting it.
00:18:39But there's only so many excuses we can all make.
00:18:43It's not my fault my shoulder's shot.
00:18:45Oh, come on. We both know that's not what it is.
00:18:48Look, I'm not saying this for my own benefit.
00:18:53But if you said you wanted to quit, I'd support you.
00:18:56But something is holding you back and you need to figure out how to face it.
00:18:59Because Regina and Dale and everybody else that you've made commitments to,
00:19:05they are waiting for you to move forward, for you to succeed.
00:19:09But they aren't going to wait forever.
00:19:11So what happened to focus on getting better and take all the time you need?
00:19:14Okay, and you're taking it.
00:19:16But you're not using it.
00:19:17I don't know what to say or how to help you get better.
00:19:22Not until you want it.
00:19:24So just think about what you're willing to do to make that happen.
00:19:27Hey, Ellie.
00:19:51Hey, sorry to bug you.
00:19:52I'm just making dinner.
00:19:53What's up?
00:19:54I need some help.
00:19:55With what?
00:19:58Battle plans for my patient.
00:20:00That bad?
00:20:02I need strategy.
00:20:04What have you got so far?
00:20:05Well, the treatment isn't the problem, but I need to figure out a way to keep him engaged.
00:20:10So? You can do that.
00:20:12I don't have a lot of time.
00:20:13He's the type that expects instant results without lifting a finger.
00:20:17Ooh. Bad combo with an injury.
00:20:20Yeah.
00:20:21Well, get him out of the gym or wherever you have him doing therapy.
00:20:23Well, so far it's been a sweep.
00:20:26Maybe he needs a change of scenery.
00:20:28I swear that's half the reason people dread coming to do their PT.
00:20:31The drab clinic isn't something anyone looks forward to.
00:20:34There is nothing drab about his surroundings.
00:20:36Maybe.
00:20:37Maybe.
00:20:38Maybe.
00:20:39Maybe he has a point.
00:20:41life.
00:21:11Good, you're nearly on time.
00:21:40I thought we were doing physical therapy.
00:21:43We are. Get in.
00:21:47Day one. Don't waste it.
00:21:53Good luck.
00:22:10Great, my field trip.
00:22:13Come on.
00:22:15Ah, not during therapy time.
00:22:17Hey!
00:22:19Keep up.
00:22:21There's nothing wrong with your legs.
00:22:23You gonna waste your first day with a hike?
00:22:29Stop complaining.
00:22:31We're almost there.
00:22:38What is this?
00:22:40It's a waterfall.
00:22:43We have a pool back at the resort.
00:22:45That you never use.
00:22:47It's peaceful here.
00:22:48Just give it a chance.
00:22:50Peaceful back at the resort.
00:22:54It's cold.
00:23:02Too much?
00:23:03Can you handle it?
00:23:06Now what?
00:23:07When you're used to it, just come over here to the center.
00:23:12It's like ice.
00:23:14Hardly.
00:23:15But if you think so, it'll help with the inflammation in your shoulder.
00:23:19Alright, let's try and float.
00:23:21Just lean back for me.
00:23:22Alright, there we go.
00:23:24Just try and relax.
00:23:26I got you.
00:23:27Okay.
00:23:28Here we go.
00:23:30How did you find this place?
00:23:33Google.
00:23:34Was that a smile?
00:23:36No, it was a smirk.
00:23:38It's the closest thing I've seen to a smile, so I'm gonna count it.
00:23:41Alright, at your own pace, just bring your arm out.
00:23:44Nice and slow.
00:23:45Good job.
00:23:46Make a fist.
00:23:47And rotate left and right.
00:23:49Not too hard?
00:23:51A waste of time.
00:23:53Alright, stand up.
00:23:55Okay.
00:23:58Bring your arms out, keep them extended, and pull them together in front of you.
00:24:04Good.
00:24:05Now pull them apart again.
00:24:07Nice and slow.
00:24:09Let's do ten of these.
00:24:11How about five?
00:24:12You're funny.
00:24:14You can do it.
00:24:15Were you a drill sergeant before you came here?
00:24:18Hardly.
00:24:19I was a dancer.
00:24:21Dancer turned therapist.
00:24:23Why?
00:24:25I was on the dance team in college.
00:24:28I was going across campus one day after a winter storm, and I slipped and broke my leg badly.
00:24:35During rehab, I had a really great therapist, and she was the best.
00:24:41What's her name?
00:24:42Maybe I should call her.
00:24:44She not only helped me regain use of my leg, but she also helped me get my confidence back.
00:24:50You never went back to dance?
00:24:53No.
00:24:54I mean, I still love it, but I love this too.
00:24:59Okay, I've done way more than ten of those.
00:25:01Um, you're right.
00:25:02Yeah.
00:25:03Do a different exercise.
00:25:04My shoulder feels worse.
00:25:22It's normal if it feels a little sore.
00:25:24It's your muscles strengthening and recovering.
00:25:26That's what they all say.
00:25:27Hey, don't judge just yet.
00:25:29Six more days.
00:25:31How'd it go?
00:25:38Hard to say.
00:25:43Are you hungry?
00:25:46I'll show you my favorite place in town.
00:25:48Sure.
00:25:50This is my favorite spot for the local eats.
00:25:55Get your lolo buns, your kokoda, your cassava cake, your tapoe.
00:26:01Mmm.
00:26:02I don't have any idea what you just said.
00:26:04You'll love it.
00:26:08So, why did you come down here?
00:26:11Ah, Jordan's my responsibility.
00:26:14Yeah, but it's a long time to be away from home.
00:26:18Well, my kids are grown.
00:26:20Doing their own thing.
00:26:23My wife passed a few years ago, so just me to worry about.
00:26:28Besides, I like to think I keep Jordan out of trouble.
00:26:33Is there anything else you'd rather be doing?
00:26:35Hmm.
00:26:36Well, I've seen a lot of places with tournaments.
00:26:40You know, matches in Europe, Australia, wherever.
00:26:45It's a lot of travel.
00:26:46A lot of moving around.
00:26:48It's nice to be settled here for a while.
00:26:50It's a good attitude to have.
00:26:52It's not like we're here forever.
00:26:54True.
00:26:55Especially for me.
00:26:56If he doesn't start feeling better soon,
00:26:58I might be home before I need to do laundry at all.
00:27:02I think you surprised him to that.
00:27:06It's a good thing.
00:27:08Thanks.
00:27:10So, what do you have planned for him tomorrow?
00:27:25Yoga today.
00:27:26No.
00:27:27Just a place to sit.
00:27:29Have a seat.
00:27:36Want one?
00:27:40How does this help with my recovery?
00:27:42Before we start, I want to learn more about you.
00:27:45Me?
00:27:46Mm-hmm.
00:27:48Didn't you at least research me when I hired you?
00:27:50Sure, but that doesn't mean I know much about you,
00:27:53except that you play tennis.
00:27:56Okay, what do you want to know?
00:27:59Why tennis?
00:28:02Played it as a kid.
00:28:03My parents were supportive, and I kept at it.
00:28:06High school?
00:28:08I played then, too.
00:28:10I, uh, was invited to play in junior world tournaments.
00:28:15Oh, that sounds impressive.
00:28:16Yeah.
00:28:18Uh, got a scholarship in college.
00:28:21And then you went pro after that?
00:28:23Yeah, but it takes a lot more effort than you might think.
00:28:25It's not like basketball or football where there's, like, drafts or anything.
00:28:29What'd you do then?
00:28:31Uh, got lucky.
00:28:33Got some endorsement deals, small ones, but they were enough to cover costs.
00:28:37And I joined the tennis association, got a coach.
00:28:42Neil?
00:28:44Not back then.
00:28:45He came later.
00:28:47I just started traveling, to tournaments, competing, and...
00:28:52Now I'm here.
00:28:53Did you ever doubt the going pro thing?
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:01For six months in college, I wondered if I was wasting my time on something that might not pan out.
00:29:07What'd you do during those months?
00:29:09Studied to be a lawyer.
00:29:11Really?
00:29:12Yeah.
00:29:15I, uh, found out pretty quickly, though, that competing on a different court was a lot more fun than law.
00:29:22And is it still fun?
00:29:25It used to be.
00:29:28Ah, the wreck changed things.
00:29:36Not surprisingly good.
00:29:38Come on.
00:29:40Let's get to some exercises.
00:29:41You're cruel.
00:29:48How does your shoulder feel?
00:29:50Sore.
00:29:51Sore yesterday?
00:29:53No.
00:29:54Jordan!
00:29:55There you are!
00:29:56Where have you been? I've been looking for you.
00:29:57Physical therapy.
00:29:58I have really good news.
00:30:00Sand Raven, the tennis grip company?
00:30:01Yeah, yeah. What about them?
00:30:02They want you to do an ad campaign.
00:30:04Regina, I can't play.
00:30:06Don't worry. I will talk you through it over dinner.
00:30:07But this is very good for us.
00:30:09Laura.
00:30:10See you tomorrow.
00:30:11Yeah, okay.
00:30:18They're licensing footage from your last couple tournaments.
00:30:20Cutting them together to make an amazing commercial.
00:30:23You don't have to film anything new.
00:30:24No pressure.
00:30:26Great.
00:30:27Eventually they'll want specific spots, but we have time for that.
00:30:31How much time?
00:30:33Don't worry about it.
00:30:34Dale and I will worry about the details.
00:30:36You just focus on getting better.
00:30:39Sand Raven's gonna send over the ad spots soon.
00:30:41They'll need you to do a little voiceover for it.
00:30:43Sure.
00:30:44Isn't this great?
00:30:47It's seven figures over three years.
00:30:49I mean, that's not bad.
00:30:51No, it's great.
00:30:54And to Dale too, of course.
00:30:57I'll tell him.
00:31:01How was therapy today?
00:31:03A little different.
00:31:05Should I check around, see if there's a better therapist we can fly in?
00:31:08No, I'm gonna give Ellie a few days before I make a decision.
00:31:12Oh.
00:31:13So she's healthy.
00:31:16I'm not sure yet.
00:31:19I mean, is your shoulder feeling better?
00:31:22It's hard to tell.
00:31:26How's your dinner?
00:31:28It's fine.
00:31:30Want a bite of mine?
00:31:36Thanks.
00:31:38Hey.
00:31:48I thought that'd get your attention.
00:31:50The view is amazing.
00:31:51I thought you'd like it.
00:31:52How's your patient?
00:31:54He's getting better.
00:31:56Hopefully on multiple levels.
00:31:58Otherwise, I'll need to find a new job.
00:32:00Which, you know, would be difficult back home right now.
00:32:03It'll work out.
00:32:06Hey, can I call you back?
00:32:07Sure.
00:32:08Later.
00:32:10Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:32:11Oh.
00:32:12You're fine.
00:32:14So Jordan seemed amiable today?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17Yeah, we had a decent session.
00:32:18Yeah?
00:32:19He told me a little bit about his career.
00:32:20He told me a little bit about his career.
00:32:23How good is he?
00:32:24Really.
00:32:26You don't follow tennis, do you?
00:32:28No.
00:32:31He was, in my opinion, on his way to being top ten before the rec.
00:32:36In the United States?
00:32:37In the world.
00:32:39Oh, wow.
00:32:40No pressure.
00:32:41Talking about for yourself or for him?
00:32:44Both.
00:32:46So do you think he'll fully recover?
00:32:50What did his doctor say?
00:32:52Cautiously optimistic prognosis.
00:32:55I think he can.
00:32:56But only if he works hard and sticks with it.
00:33:01Just hope he gets back to where he was.
00:33:06I think I've seen more of this country these last few days than the entire time I was here before.
00:33:17Water's so calm here.
00:33:19Yeah, that's why I picked it.
00:33:21It shouldn't jar your shoulder.
00:33:24Our sessions should help, of course, but there are some exercises that you should be doing on your own, too.
00:33:30So I'm going to teach you a few things on top of what you've already learned.
00:33:33Homework.
00:33:35You're a smart guy.
00:33:37I think you can manage it.
00:33:39You ready?
00:33:40Yep.
00:33:41Alright.
00:33:46Good.
00:33:48The water should provide just enough resistance to make your shoulder work.
00:33:52Just enough?
00:33:53It feels like plenty.
00:33:55Okay, you can relax now.
00:33:56Don't you love this?
00:34:04You don't travel much, do you?
00:34:07Not to places like this.
00:34:09I mean, the closest I come to it is a lake back home.
00:34:12My dad would take me there to fish over the summer.
00:34:15Fishing?
00:34:17I love it.
00:34:19Whenever we can, we still try to fish.
00:34:20Alright, let's do another set.
00:34:25Either of your parents in the medical industry?
00:34:28Well, my dad's a dentist. Does that count?
00:34:31Not really.
00:34:33You know, he was in a car accident a couple years ago, like you.
00:34:38He wasn't officially my patient for rehab or anything, but he was the worst.
00:34:43I mean, parents do not like being told by their children what to do.
00:34:49You recover alright?
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:52Completely.
00:34:55Everything changes in a second.
00:34:57I was on my way to the airport.
00:35:00Slick out.
00:35:01Raining that night.
00:35:04Bus just couldn't stop in time.
00:35:10Crunched me pretty good.
00:35:12The surgeries are brutal.
00:35:14That type of trauma will be.
00:35:16Everything has moved just so slowly since then.
00:35:19And the pain...
00:35:20You will get better.
00:35:22But stick to the exercises, right?
00:35:24You don't believe me?
00:35:26I want to.
00:35:28It's just that you can't blame me for wondering.
00:35:31The what ifs and such.
00:35:33What if this never gets back to normal?
00:35:41What if we were doing?
00:35:45What if anyway?
00:35:46What if i can't win it?
00:35:51Be too.
00:35:53What if i can't win it?
00:35:54What if i would love to be ill?
00:35:57The eatingeren better.
00:35:59Sometimes.
00:36:00A little bit on it.
00:36:03A little bit on the phone.
00:36:04No.
00:36:06We did the beach thing yesterday.
00:36:21This is a little different.
00:36:30Look!
00:36:31There they are.
00:36:32Whoa.
00:36:33Pretty amazing, right?
00:36:35Yeah.
00:36:36I like how slow they move.
00:36:39Why?
00:36:40Because it doesn't stop them from getting somewhere.
00:36:43Come on.
00:36:49Kind of a different life, huh?
00:36:51Hanging out on the beach, swimming in the ocean,
00:36:54eating seaweed.
00:36:55It's not bad.
00:36:57They eat seaweed?
00:36:59I'm guessing.
00:37:02You know when they're first born, the baby turtles have to make
00:37:05it out to the ocean without getting eaten.
00:37:07You just made that up.
00:37:09No.
00:37:10No, they have a lot of predators.
00:37:12Birds, lizards, snakes.
00:37:15They risk it.
00:37:16Just to make it out to their home.
00:37:18You'd think the little guys would just hide out.
00:37:23Well, they can only hide for so long.
00:37:26Sooner or later, they have to start living.
00:37:31Sounds risky.
00:37:33It is.
00:37:35They still try, though.
00:37:38It's easy for you to say.
00:37:39You don't have to worry about getting eaten on your way to the water.
00:37:45You win.
00:37:46What?
00:37:48I'm removing the deadline.
00:37:49You can stay.
00:37:54And I'll do whatever I need to do to get better.
00:37:58That's...
00:38:00You won't regret it.
00:38:01I highlighted some terms of the deal, but it's a pretty boilerplate.
00:38:10Dale and I already went over it.
00:38:12Just need your signature.
00:38:16Oh, it's a little duck fish.
00:38:19Right there.
00:38:20Great.
00:38:21Let me see if there's anything else.
00:38:23I thought we could talk tournaments and events.
00:38:35What?
00:38:36Just as appearances to keep you relevant and all that.
00:38:39No play, but here's what I think you should go to.
00:38:42Okay.
00:38:43It's coming up.
00:38:53You're doing good.
00:39:02Nothing wrong with my legs, right?
00:39:04Just pay attention to any strain that runs up to your shoulder.
00:39:08So no sprinting?
00:39:09No.
00:39:11Do you want me to stay to make sure that you...
00:39:13No, no.
00:39:14I'm almost done.
00:39:15Where are you off to?
00:39:17An early dinner.
00:39:19Well, enjoy.
00:39:23Do you want to come?
00:39:28Sure.
00:39:30Oh, here it is.
00:39:33Bula.
00:39:34Bula.
00:39:35Is this your milk?
00:39:37Enjoy.
00:39:37Thanks.
00:39:38Okay.
00:39:40Try it.
00:39:41You'll like it.
00:39:43I usually eat at the resort.
00:39:45Well, they have local flavors there, too.
00:39:47Yeah, but I can easily read them on the menu.
00:39:51So, where do you usually live?
00:39:53I have a place in Florida.
00:39:55Oh.
00:39:56Complete with your own first-class tennis court in the backyard?
00:39:59Not quite.
00:40:01You know, I wasn't always a tennis pro.
00:40:04I actually come from a very normal situation.
00:40:07My normal or your normal?
00:40:09I grew up in Iowa.
00:40:11Oh, wow.
00:40:11That does sound strangely familiar.
00:40:14Is your family still there?
00:40:17My parents.
00:40:19Did they come out and visit during the recovery?
00:40:21I'm sorry.
00:40:24I only ask because it sometimes helps to have family around.
00:40:29They wanted me to move back to Iowa, but I just didn't have enough time.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:36But you came down here, though.
00:40:38Is this an interrogation?
00:40:40I'm sorry.
00:40:43You're right.
00:40:43It's just that I really hate talking about the hospital and recovery and everything.
00:41:00Yeah.
00:41:02It was horrible.
00:41:05Is that why you didn't like it when I was scrubs and referred to you as a patient?
00:41:09Yeah, maybe.
00:41:13I just don't want to be some label.
00:41:16I know that.
00:41:17I mean, we're all more than what we do for a living or what circumstances we're going through.
00:41:23I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like you were just a patient.
00:41:26No, no, you didn't.
00:41:28Not really.
00:41:29I shouldn't have barked to you like I did.
00:41:34Especially because I think you actually care.
00:41:37I do.
00:41:40Thanks.
00:41:49Hey.
00:41:50Hey.
00:41:51Did you go out?
00:41:52Yeah, with Ellie.
00:41:53Were the other therapists like her?
00:41:59They were as skilled.
00:42:03I never gave them much of a chance, did I?
00:42:07Maybe not, but she's definitely different.
00:42:17Regina says you started to make plans for upcoming tournaments.
00:42:23She thinks it'll be good to be seen at them.
00:42:29You think she's right?
00:42:32Definitely sends a signal.
00:42:39Or it's your decision.
00:42:42Yeah.
00:42:46Thanks, Neil.
00:42:51How much longer?
00:42:52Four, three, two, one.
00:43:02You okay?
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:06Let your arm glide back and forth underneath the water to loosen it up.
00:43:12So what do you do around here when you're not tormenting me?
00:43:15Breathe.
00:43:16Swim.
00:43:18A little bit of exploration.
00:43:19You should enjoy the resort.
00:43:23There's a ton of stuff to do.
00:43:24Well, what do you recommend?
00:43:27Paddleboarding.
00:43:28You can get a massage at the spa.
00:43:31Tennis, of course.
00:43:34You ever play?
00:43:35No.
00:43:37Dance was as far as I went with sports.
00:43:40That has to change.
00:43:42Really?
00:43:43Yeah.
00:43:46Here we are.
00:43:48All right.
00:43:49Service squares.
00:43:50These ones are for doubles.
00:43:52Okay.
00:43:53Hey.
00:43:54Thanks.
00:43:55Playing already?
00:43:56Ellie knows nothing about tennis.
00:43:58No, I did not say that.
00:44:00There are brackets.
00:44:02And nets.
00:44:03You see what I mean?
00:44:03So do I just swing this?
00:44:07All right.
00:44:07Hold on.
00:44:07Let me show you how it's done first.
00:44:08Okay.
00:44:09All right.
00:44:09So hold it out.
00:44:10All right.
00:44:11Right.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:12Go up.
00:44:15Don't let your wrist break.
00:44:16Okay.
00:44:17Out vertical like that.
00:44:18Okay?
00:44:19All right.
00:44:20All right.
00:44:21Your grip isn't quite right.
00:44:22Up a little bit.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:25All right.
00:44:25Very nice.
00:44:26When do we start hitting something?
00:44:27Okay.
00:44:28Well, let me show you how it's done first.
00:44:30Wait a minute.
00:44:31Hang on.
00:44:32It's fine.
00:44:32It'll be fine.
00:44:33Neil, can you help us out?
00:44:34Be careful.
00:44:36You ready?
00:44:37Ready.
00:44:40You okay?
00:44:42Yeah.
00:44:42It's worth it to show you how to properly hit a ball.
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:45No more for you.
00:44:46I think I'm ready.
00:44:48This one's for you.
00:44:51Oh!
00:44:52That cleared the fence.
00:44:54Okay.
00:44:54I mean, what am I doing wrong here?
00:44:57You've got to show me.
00:44:58I mean, go ahead.
00:44:58Where do we start?
00:44:59How much time do we have, Neil?
00:45:01That was good.
00:45:03Try it again.
00:45:03Try it again.
00:45:04Okay.
00:45:04All right.
00:45:05All right.
00:45:11Okay.
00:45:13Oh!
00:45:14That cleared the fence.
00:45:15So a little less power, right?
00:45:17A little less strength.
00:45:18Stop pulling it out.
00:45:26Hey.
00:45:26Wow.
00:45:28Don't quit your day job.
00:45:29Oh, yeah.
00:45:31There's no future in tennis for me.
00:45:33Hey, who's that in the video with you?
00:45:35Jordan.
00:45:35The person I've been working with.
00:45:37My boss or patient, whatever.
00:45:41So how's he coming along?
00:45:43He's getting better.
00:45:45Stronger.
00:45:46Is he playing tennis already?
00:45:48No, no.
00:45:49That was just for fun.
00:45:50Fun.
00:45:52Interesting.
00:45:52So Jordan is growing on you.
00:45:56I try not to think about him in that way.
00:46:00In what way?
00:46:01Romantic?
00:46:02No, no.
00:46:03No, I didn't say that.
00:46:06So how are things going with you?
00:46:09Nice subject change.
00:46:11Give me a break.
00:46:13Knock, knock.
00:46:20Hey, Regina.
00:46:21Hungry?
00:46:22I ordered us some dinner.
00:46:24Oh, thanks.
00:46:26It was just this amazing conglomerate of colors,
00:46:30and I loved it.
00:46:32And if I'd been smart, I would have bought the painting then.
00:46:35But, of course, someone snatched it up years ago.
00:46:38And the gallery has moved since,
00:46:40so I can't even track down the other buyer.
00:46:44I'm sorry.
00:46:45I have been talking nonstop.
00:46:47It's fine.
00:46:49I forgot.
00:46:49You're not much of an art fan.
00:46:51Well, not as much as you,
00:46:53but art's, you know, great.
00:46:57You know, the Louvre could be fun to visit
00:46:59when we go to France.
00:47:01Maybe we should make time for it together.
00:47:04That's a ways off.
00:47:05I mean, I don't even know if I would qualify
00:47:08with all my absences.
00:47:09Even as a spectator, it'd be fun.
00:47:13Maybe you'll be ready by then.
00:47:15I'll talk to the therapist, see what she thinks.
00:47:18Well, why don't we just play it by ear?
00:47:23Okay.
00:47:29Were you a pool shark in another life?
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:31I just had a lot of time on my hands lately,
00:47:35so my skills have improved.
00:47:38When Jordan gets well,
00:47:39are you looking forward to going back?
00:47:41We'll be traveling, you know,
00:47:42tournament to tournament.
00:47:44It's been nice to be settled for a while.
00:47:46How about you?
00:47:47I don't know.
00:47:49I don't have it all figured out back home,
00:47:51and I'd have to find a new job,
00:47:53which might be tricky.
00:47:55Hey.
00:47:55Hey, guys.
00:47:57I thought I'd get out for a bit.
00:47:59Do you want to come with me, Ellie?
00:48:01Uh, sure.
00:48:12Not bad, huh?
00:48:13It's beautiful here.
00:48:15Have you been to this spot before?
00:48:17No, but I can use Google, too.
00:48:21I hear the sunsets are gorgeous.
00:48:24Ah.
00:48:25I should have brought up a fishing pole for you.
00:48:27You ever fish?
00:48:28No.
00:48:29No.
00:48:30When your arm gets better, you should try it.
00:48:34You'll have to show me.
00:48:38Neil and I were talking about what we do when we leave.
00:48:41Are you looking forward to it?
00:48:44Yes.
00:48:45Well, that didn't sound like a yes.
00:48:50I want to go home.
00:48:51I do.
00:48:51I want to keep playing and competing.
00:48:55I just know it won't be the same.
00:48:58Why not?
00:49:01Do you think part of the reason why you never went back to dance
00:49:04is that you were just scared that it wouldn't be the same
00:49:08as before you broke your leg?
00:49:10Maybe.
00:49:11And looking back, do you regret not continuing your dance career?
00:49:18Sometimes I miss it.
00:49:20Being excited from the rush of performing
00:49:23and the creative side of it.
00:49:26But I had to make a choice.
00:49:28I don't think dance would have made me any happier than I am now.
00:49:35You're lucky the choice was made for you then.
00:49:40You know, the injury wasn't the choice.
00:49:42It was what I did after that.
00:49:44And you're at that point.
00:49:45Do you not want to play tennis anymore?
00:49:51No.
00:49:52It's not bad.
00:49:56Are you afraid to go back?
00:50:00You know, things like car accidents, they happen all the time.
00:50:04You never think it'll be you.
00:50:06It was my sister's birthday.
00:50:14I was treating her to a trip to Paris.
00:50:18She had always wanted to go.
00:50:19And our flight was leaving that night.
00:50:27She was in the car with me on the way to the airport.
00:50:29There were three of us in the car.
00:50:33Me, my sister, and the driver.
00:50:37I'm the only one who made it.
00:50:46I didn't understand why you isolated yourself here,
00:50:51but I think I do now.
00:50:54There is nothing wrong with meeting time and space.
00:50:57I just, I can't go back and pretend everything's normal.
00:51:04You don't have to pretend.
00:51:06Yeah, but you've been putting yourself through this alone.
00:51:12When was the last time you talked to your parents?
00:51:18Anna's funeral?
00:51:21That's, that's my sister's name.
00:51:22Did I say that?
00:51:23We, we always got along so well.
00:51:31Maybe it had something to do with her looking up to me.
00:51:35I was proud of that.
00:51:38It made me really want to look out for her, you know?
00:51:41And, and I wanted to.
00:51:44I bet she was proud to be your sister.
00:51:46I mean, I don't know.
00:51:50Is there a reason why you haven't talked to your parents?
00:51:54It just seemed easier not to.
00:51:58Enough time has passed, I...
00:52:01Maybe they can help you figure out what to do next.
00:52:06I'll think about it.
00:52:11I'll think about it.
00:52:13Hello.
00:52:26Mom.
00:52:34Mom.
00:52:36Jordan?
00:52:37Hey.
00:52:41Hey.
00:52:42Hey.
00:52:43Can I talk to you about Jordan?
00:52:47What about him?
00:52:49He's acting different.
00:52:51Yes, we can thank Ellie for that.
00:52:55Where's she from again?
00:52:57Some clinic back in the States.
00:53:00Do you know which one?
00:53:02I don't remember.
00:53:04I hadn't heard of it.
00:53:06You know, we looked at the best therapist and she, she frankly just doesn't seem to be up to par.
00:53:13Well, we've been through some of the top therapists and I don't know how she compares.
00:53:18She's the right one for him.
00:53:21As long as she can get our boy back in shape.
00:53:29Shoulders definitely getting less sore.
00:53:31Good.
00:53:32Dale will be thrilled to hear it.
00:53:36Mr. Greer, I'm so sorry.
00:53:38I'll get this cleaned up right away.
00:53:40It's fine.
00:53:42Don't even worry about it.
00:53:43I'll be out.
00:53:57Can I join you?
00:53:59Sure.
00:54:00What drew you down here?
00:54:02I was walking by and saw you sitting here.
00:54:06I thought you might want some company.
00:54:08You're not wearing your sling.
00:54:10Yeah.
00:54:11I thought I'd give it a test run without it.
00:54:14Hm.
00:54:16Don't look so victorious.
00:54:18I'm just happy for you.
00:54:25What?
00:54:26You know, if you want to get up and dance, no one's gonna stop you.
00:54:29Okay.
00:54:30It's one thing to get up on stage, but a totally different thing to dance whenever and wherever you feel like it.
00:54:35And here I thought you were fearless.
00:54:38Not at all.
00:54:39That's too bad.
00:54:41I'm just saying, I would have liked to have seen you dance.
00:54:45Nice save.
00:54:46Nice save.
00:55:07Fine.
00:55:08What do you like to dance?
00:55:11Is this another strange physical therapy session to get me to move my shoulder?
00:55:15No.
00:55:17Okay, but don't expect the tango.
00:55:30Here.
00:55:33Is that okay?
00:55:34Your shoulder can handle it.
00:55:37Yeah, sure.
00:55:40You're stronger than you think.
00:55:43Sometimes I wonder if it's a therapist talking or someone else.
00:55:48Either way, I mean it.
00:55:49It's not some line to keep you motivated.
00:55:54Talk to my mom.
00:55:56It was brief, but good.
00:55:59Certainly overdue.
00:56:00How is she?
00:56:01I'm not sure she was so weepy I had a hard time understanding her.
00:56:08I was making it worse though by keeping my distance from my parents and from me.
00:56:15Maybe I'd already be better if I hadn't stayed away.
00:56:19Well at least it gave me a chance to come here.
00:56:22Exactly.
00:56:24How bad can a job be here?
00:56:26I don't just mean the tropical paradise.
00:56:28Sorry, I think that's my friend Cynthia.
00:56:29Uh, you can call her back.
00:56:30Okay.
00:56:32Thanks for the dance.
00:56:33You too.
00:56:34You too.
00:56:35This place again?
00:56:36I thought you'd like this place.
00:56:37I do.
00:56:38I do.
00:56:39I do.
00:56:40I do.
00:56:41I do.
00:56:42I'm just giving you a hard time.
00:56:43I don't get too comfortable.
00:56:44Exercise is first.
00:56:45Killjoy.
00:56:46And I brought weights.
00:56:47Oh.
00:56:48There aren't a lot of people I can be around.
00:56:49I don't get too comfortable.
00:56:50Exercise is first.
00:56:51Killjoy.
00:56:52And I brought weights.
00:56:53Oh.
00:56:54There aren't a lot of people I can be around and not talk.
00:57:00Does that make sense?
00:57:01Yeah, it does.
00:57:02Yeah, it does.
00:57:03Yeah, it does.
00:57:04I don't get too comfortable.
00:57:05I don't get too comfortable.
00:57:06Exercise is first.
00:57:07Killjoy.
00:57:08And I brought weights.
00:57:09Oh.
00:57:11There aren't a lot of people I can be around and not talk.
00:57:18Does that make sense?
00:57:20Yeah, it does.
00:57:23There's always someone who wants to fill the silence.
00:57:26And you just think, please stop talking.
00:57:29Is that partially why you like being alone?
00:57:33I don't, actually.
00:57:35I mean, I don't mind it, but...
00:57:38It's just nice when someone can be in the same space as you and not feel the need to jabber on.
00:57:45So, thanks.
00:57:48So we're not talking?
00:57:50You know what I mean.
00:57:52You know, the irony is you interrupted a perfectly quiet moment to tell me that.
00:57:58Okay, now you're just ruining it.
00:58:00Take it all back.
00:58:02Are you laughing at me?
00:58:04Yes!
00:58:05I think you can handle it.
00:58:06Oh!
00:58:07Hey!
00:58:08You'm good!
00:58:09Ah!
00:58:10Oh!
00:58:11Oh!
00:58:12Oh!
00:58:13Oh!
00:58:14Ah!
00:58:15You dare splash and make me see?
00:58:16Well, you started it!
00:58:17Ah!
00:58:18Ah!
00:58:19Oh!
00:58:20Oh!
00:58:21Oh!
00:58:22Oh!
00:58:23Oh!
00:58:25Oh!
00:58:26Oh!
00:58:27Oh!
00:58:28Oh!
00:58:29Oh!
00:58:30Oh!
00:58:31Good morning.
00:58:49Good morning.
00:58:50Can I join you?
00:58:51Please.
00:58:52Can I ask, does Jordan, is he in a relationship?
00:59:08No.
00:59:10Do I get to ask why you're bringing this up?
00:59:14We, there are moments when I, I, um, come on, this is strange territory for me.
00:59:22Why? He's a man, you're a woman.
00:59:26You two have a relationship developing.
00:59:28But I'm also his physical therapist, which sounds even worse out loud.
00:59:32I worked anywhere else.
00:59:33He brought you down here to help him recover.
00:59:37There's no forms or contracts or policies, whatever beyond that.
00:59:41Well, it's still a job.
00:59:44I mean, what if he just likes the idea of having someone listening and helping him?
00:59:50Well, that's half of what a relationship is.
00:59:53Finding someone who understands you.
00:59:57But you two have evolved beyond this being a simple job.
01:00:02Now, it'd be different if his feelings were one-sided.
01:00:05Of course, I have feelings for him.
01:00:10I like him. I do.
01:00:12I mean, not at first. I wanted to pack up and go.
01:00:15But you didn't.
01:00:17You stayed here and helped him recover.
01:00:20And because of that, you've seen who he really is.
01:00:22If I let myself go down this path, it ruins everything else.
01:00:26Our friendship.
01:00:27It's a myth.
01:00:28Well, it certainly ruins my role as this physical therapist.
01:00:31That's that ruin is too strong a word.
01:00:33Maybe it grows into something greater, if you're willing to risk it.
01:00:36Well, what about him?
01:00:40You know, before today, I hadn't seen him so happy or act as carefree as he acts around you.
01:00:47Not since Anna.
01:00:48And no, before you say anything, it's different.
01:00:53He doesn't treat you like his sister.
01:00:56You two have something special.
01:00:58What about Regina?
01:00:59That's what I call a one-sided pursuit.
01:01:06You know, even so, there are things that she's not willing to tell Jordan about how she feels.
01:01:12Because it might not work out and it could spoil her career.
01:01:15Maybe.
01:01:16See, that's just it for me.
01:01:18I could be risking the same thing.
01:01:20It's true.
01:01:22But sometimes love requires a sacrifice.
01:01:29For Mr. Brewer.
01:01:53Beach tomorrow, I'll take care of everything.
01:01:55Leave your bag of tricks behind.
01:01:58Jordan.
01:01:59Look at you.
01:02:08No sling?
01:02:10Progress.
01:02:11You've been working hard.
01:02:12I can thank Ellie for that.
01:02:15Dale called.
01:02:17Sandraven wants to plan their campaign with your returns.
01:02:19So we just need some dates for what tournaments you want to play.
01:02:23I wouldn't even know what to tell them at this point.
01:02:26Does Ellie?
01:02:27I mean, it's her job to get you playing again.
01:02:29Look, I just think it's too soon to even know.
01:02:33We've got to give them something.
01:02:35Why?
01:02:37It's one of their conditions.
01:02:39If you're not back at play in four months, racking up points, they can pull out of the contract.
01:02:43Four months?
01:02:44What?
01:02:44I never agreed to that.
01:02:46It's been slim pickings, Jordan.
01:02:47I mean, Dale doesn't make a commission off of zero.
01:02:52Look, I'm sorry.
01:02:53I know that's harsh, but the truth that no one's telling you is that if you're not back by then, then you're done anyway.
01:02:57All right, I'll call Dale when I get back.
01:03:04Back?
01:03:05No, Jordan, this is important.
01:03:06It's fine.
01:03:07It can wait.
01:03:11I hope you don't get seasick.
01:03:12Oh, I don't.
01:03:14Hey, is that everything I ordered?
01:03:15Yes, Mr. Green.
01:03:18You sure you don't want me to bring anything?
01:03:20Just you.
01:03:21All right.
01:03:38What is this place?
01:03:40Private island.
01:03:42Please tell me you don't own it.
01:03:46I don't own it.
01:03:51What can I do?
01:04:08Nothing today.
01:04:09Just relax.
01:04:15I'll admit I did not pack this.
01:04:17I'm sure it's fine.
01:04:19Yeah, there's no way I'm eating that.
01:04:22You're Mr. Travel the World.
01:04:23I thought you would try crazy delicacies all the time.
01:04:26I'm not that adventurous, but you should totally have some.
01:04:32No, I'm good.
01:04:34Besides, I'm a simple girl.
01:04:36I like that about you.
01:04:38Being simple?
01:04:40No, it's a good thing.
01:04:43It's easy to get caught up in all the fast pace and the flashiness of competition.
01:04:46It changes people.
01:04:49But not you.
01:04:51I'm sure it has, but I can still tell the difference between people who are real and those who are caught up in what's not.
01:04:59Anna was always good at that.
01:05:01She, uh...
01:05:02She would always come to my competitions near home and point out the peacocks.
01:05:08Peacocks?
01:05:09Yeah, all glitz, but nothing real.
01:05:12She'd make it fun, too.
01:05:14It'd keep me from getting too wrapped up and being competitive.
01:05:19Yeah, it sounds like she kept you grounded.
01:05:22She did.
01:05:23Wow.
01:05:23Wow.
01:05:35Wow.
01:05:36Beautiful.
01:05:37Oh, I love the color.
01:05:39What are they?
01:05:41Are you asking me or quizzing me?
01:05:43Asking.
01:05:44They're hibiscus flowers.
01:05:47You know, I've seen these things everywhere, and I've always wondered what they are.
01:05:50Well, you know you could have asked someone.
01:05:52I just did.
01:05:54They stand for beauty and perfection.
01:05:58A therapist and a horticulturalist.
01:06:00No, I asked the concierge at the hotel.
01:06:04Here.
01:06:15Suits you.
01:06:18Thank you for coming with me today.
01:06:21Of course.
01:06:22You didn't have to.
01:06:24I wanted to.
01:06:40Come on.
01:06:49Yes.
01:06:51Where is it?
01:06:52Oh, I got it.
01:07:01Look, a crab.
01:07:04Oh, it's cute.
01:07:05I dare you to pick it up.
01:07:07Not that cute.
01:07:08I think this is my favorite spot in all of Fiji.
01:07:16Yeah, it is beautiful, isn't it?
01:07:18This is still Fiji, right?
01:07:20Yes.
01:07:22You know, we still haven't seen the sunset at the pier, though.
01:07:25Well, we'll have to go sometime.
01:07:27Definitely.
01:07:31Hey, look, there's a starfish.
01:07:34Come on, let's check it out.
01:07:35Careful.
01:07:42Jordan, maybe we should stick to the sandy part of the beach.
01:07:45It's okay.
01:07:45I'm almost there.
01:07:48Jordan!
01:07:53Neil?
01:07:54What's wrong?
01:07:55Jordan's hurt.
01:07:56What?
01:07:57Yeah, he was out with Ellie.
01:07:58Maybe he slipped or something.
01:08:00What did she have him doing?
01:08:02I don't know.
01:08:03I gotta go.
01:08:10Stupid, stupid, stupid!
01:08:14I don't think it's broken.
01:08:16No, probably worse.
01:08:17I want to do a scan to see if it's impacted your original injury.
01:08:21I'm not gonna sit in some tube rigged to a backwards microwave.
01:08:25It'll be okay.
01:08:26How would you know?
01:08:28You're gonna tell me you've been through this, too?
01:08:30Just get the scan, Jordan.
01:08:36Fine, let's get it over with.
01:08:37Okay.
01:08:38Okay.
01:08:50Ellie Vaughn.
01:09:13Hi, is this the Shelley Park Therapy Center?
01:09:17I'm sorry.
01:09:19It still gets you better.
01:09:21He's right.
01:09:21This is just a setback.
01:09:23It's only temporary.
01:09:23Would you both just stop talking?
01:09:38Take it easy.
01:09:40I have some muscle cream in my bag in my room.
01:09:43It won't take the pain away, but it might lessen the discomfort.
01:09:46Fine.
01:09:47It was an accident.
01:09:53I shouldn't have been there.
01:09:55Stupid.
01:09:56Don't second guess it.
01:09:58Are you okay?
01:09:58I heard you fell.
01:10:00Yeah, I fell at some rocks.
01:10:02Where was Ellie?
01:10:03She was there.
01:10:06I knew it.
01:10:08It's no wonder.
01:10:08She's completely inept.
01:10:10You don't even know what you're talking about.
01:10:11They were on a date.
01:10:12It wasn't a date.
01:10:13It wasn't a session.
01:10:15Shouldn't she know better?
01:10:17Especially with her history?
01:10:19What are you talking about?
01:10:21I called her former employer.
01:10:22Know what they said?
01:10:23She's responsible for making a patient worse with one of her irresponsible recovery plans that she concocted.
01:10:29I talked to someone over there.
01:10:31They said nothing about that.
01:10:32Who did you talk to?
01:10:33I don't remember.
01:10:35Cynthia.
01:10:37You talk to Cynthia.
01:10:41She's your friend.
01:10:43She also works at the same clinic I did.
01:10:46So you had her live for you, give you a good reference while you continue hurting people?
01:10:51That is not what happened.
01:10:52You put her down specifically as your main reference.
01:10:55Yes, but she does work there.
01:10:57She must have been real convincing covering up what you did.
01:11:00And now look at Jordan.
01:11:02I gave you Cynthia because she knows what actually happened.
01:11:05All she said to me was, Ellie is so great at what she does and she's great at helping patients and she'll definitely get you better.
01:11:13You didn't know she had an agenda.
01:11:14It wasn't even my therapy plan for the patient.
01:11:17A doctor at the clinic assigned me to do it even though I thought it was pushing too hard.
01:11:21And when the patient got injured again, the blame was put on me.
01:11:25A patient still got hurt on your watch.
01:11:33Oh no.
01:11:35What?
01:11:36That's Dale.
01:11:40Sand Raven is waiting on us to commit to their terms or they'll pull out.
01:11:43What do they want?
01:11:47They want Jordan to return to play in four months.
01:11:50Oh, come on.
01:11:51I can't give them that, especially now.
01:11:54Okay, calm down.
01:11:54I'll call Dale.
01:11:59It's not hopeless, Jordan.
01:12:01We can still...
01:12:03Do you have any idea what's at stake here?
01:12:04The only reason that you're here is to get me better.
01:12:09And now I'm worse than before you came.
01:12:13Just get out.
01:12:14Just get out.
01:12:14I'm worse than before you came to play in four months.
01:12:44Jordan, I was looking for you in your room.
01:13:14What do you want?
01:13:16I thought we could work on your shoulder today.
01:13:19Just basics.
01:13:23Not today.
01:13:29We'll get through this.
01:13:32Don't stress, okay?
01:13:35Talked to Dale.
01:13:37He thinks we should pull out of the Sand Raven deal.
01:13:40That soon?
01:13:42Do you think Jordan can meet their timeline?
01:13:44I mean, let's face it, it doesn't look very promising.
01:13:48Sorry.
01:13:50Dale will salvage what he can.
01:13:53This isn't easy on any of us.
01:13:55And I know that it's especially hard on you.
01:14:01I'm here, okay?
01:14:08What are you doing out here?
01:14:11Me thinking how to get Jordan well.
01:14:14It's not your responsibility anymore.
01:14:17What?
01:14:18Plane ticket.
01:14:19The flight leaves tomorrow.
01:14:21Jordan needs a qualified professional to help salvage his arm.
01:14:25Oh.
01:14:26Listen, everyone makes mistakes.
01:14:32I'm sure in time, Jordan will see some good you did here.
01:14:40Have a safe flight home.
01:14:42Can I?
01:14:43I am good at that.
01:14:45I am good at that.
01:14:47Now, I'll talk to you later.
01:14:48And I'll just take the next one.
01:14:49Thanks for coming.
01:14:50I'll go ahead and see you later.
01:14:52I'm going to mention the last one.
01:14:53I'll go ahead and see you later.
01:14:54You'll see.
01:14:55I'll think about that.
01:14:57I'll talk.
01:14:59I'm going to do this again.
01:15:01That's how I'm going to be the last one.
01:15:02I'm going to go ahead and see you later.
01:15:05ORCHESTRA PLAYS
01:15:35Miss Vaughn, how can I help you?
01:15:43Um, I'm checking out, but my flight isn't for another couple of hours,
01:15:46and there's one last place I want to go see.
01:15:50Is there somewhere I could leave my bags?
01:15:52Of course, you can leave them here.
01:15:56Also, could you make sure these get to Mr. Greer?
01:16:03I'll take care of it.
01:16:07Is there a taxi?
01:16:08I'll call you one right now.
01:16:10Thanks.
01:16:12Have a good day.
01:16:17Ellie!
01:16:19You're leaving?
01:16:20Yeah.
01:16:21Jordan's just upset. Don't leave.
01:16:23He was right to ask me to go.
01:16:25What?
01:16:26What?
01:16:27It's fine.
01:16:29Thank you for being so great.
01:16:30Let me talk to him.
01:16:32It's pretty clear I'm not needed here anymore.
01:16:36Please just look out for him.
01:16:39Come on.
01:16:40Let me go.
01:16:40Oh, my God.
01:17:10Oh, my God.
01:17:40It's more than you could do a month ago.
01:17:51Before you fell on the rocks, did you think you were going to fully recover?
01:17:56Doesn't matter.
01:17:56If you quit now, I've been waiting for months to see a glimpse of the old Jordan.
01:18:05You know, you kept everyone away as you mourned Anna.
01:18:08You know, I say her name and you lash out.
01:18:12Ellie's the one that brought you back.
01:18:14Let's not over-exaggerate. I'm not 100% yet.
01:18:17Come on, I'm not talking about your shoulder.
01:18:21She lied to me.
01:18:23There were two conflicting stories.
01:18:26You know, maybe you should figure out what really happened.
01:18:28Don't you think she deserves that?
01:18:30You know, she took a chance on you.
01:18:33I know.
01:18:34Then why'd you send her home?
01:18:37Home? What are you talking about?
01:18:39Shelly Park Therapy Center. Cynthia speaking.
01:18:52Hi. Is this Cynthia that's friends with Ellie Vaughan?
01:18:56Yes.
01:18:57Who's this?
01:18:59Yeah.
01:19:00Right.
01:19:00No, I understand.
01:19:05Thank you for...
01:19:08I will.
01:19:11Yes, thank you. Bye-bye.
01:19:13Miss Vaughan left these for you.
01:19:15She did?
01:19:16Yes, sir.
01:19:17Can I get you anything else?
01:19:20No, thank you.
01:19:30If you're reading this, you're the next in line of many therapists who have tried to work with Mr. Greer.
01:19:45Don't let that scare you.
01:19:48Be patient with him.
01:19:49Don't back down from what you know he needs.
01:19:52He may fight whatever you suggest, but he needs someone to care, even if he makes it difficult.
01:19:57He deserves to get better and have the life he wants without pain.
01:20:04And you can help him with that.
01:20:06Please don't give up.
01:20:09A couple of tips, though.
01:20:10Don't refer to him as a patient.
01:20:12He hates that.
01:20:14And don't wear scrubs.
01:20:16You'll figure out the rest.
01:20:18Good luck.
01:20:27The woman in this room, where is she?
01:20:31She checked out, sir.
01:20:41Jordan.
01:20:43What's wrong?
01:20:44It's Ellie.
01:20:45She's gone.
01:20:46Yeah, I know.
01:20:49You gave her the ticket.
01:20:51I thought you'd want her gone.
01:20:53She's clearly not the person for the job.
01:20:55I mean, you heard what she did.
01:20:57There's more to it than that.
01:20:58Jordan, you need to get better, not injure yourself more.
01:21:01It was my own fault.
01:21:03Why are you defending her?
01:21:06She tried to hide her entire work fiasco from you.
01:21:08That doesn't mean she did anything wrong.
01:21:11I want her to stay.
01:21:12Oh, I figured I was doing you a favor.
01:21:19Thanks, but not this time.
01:21:23I guess I've been wrong about a lot.
01:21:27I mean, you both know why I came here.
01:21:32I just never wanted to address it.
01:21:34And that's okay.
01:21:35I just hoped that you would look at me in a way that would make you feel something.
01:21:41But you don't.
01:21:43Not the way you do, Ellie.
01:21:45Regina, I...
01:21:46It's all right.
01:21:47I can't force this.
01:21:51Maybe I'll look into heading home soon.
01:21:53You don't have to go.
01:21:55Yeah, I do.
01:21:57I can't keep waiting around for something that's not going to happen.
01:22:01It's time.
01:22:03I'm sorry.
01:22:08Ellie's on the evening flight, Fiji Airways.
01:22:10She's probably waiting at the airport early.
01:22:21Excuse me.
01:22:22Do you know if Miss Vaughn already left her to the airport?
01:22:24No, she didn't.
01:22:26She did leave her luggage here while she went to visit another place.
01:22:29Do you know where she went?
01:22:30No.
01:22:30Ellie.
01:22:32What are you doing here?
01:22:50I had to find you.
01:22:53Congratulations.
01:22:54You found me.
01:22:54Please don't go, Ellie.
01:22:59You got me a ticket.
01:23:03That wasn't me.
01:23:09But I'm just as much to blame for you thinking that it was.
01:23:13Stay.
01:23:14I did lie to you.
01:23:17I should have been up front about what happened to the clinic.
01:23:20I talked to Cynthia.
01:23:22She told me everything.
01:23:24You were put in an impossible situation.
01:23:28Pressured by a pig-headed boss and a client that just wanted results fast.
01:23:32You're going to talk.
01:23:33I deserve that.
01:23:39But it shouldn't have mattered what anybody said anyway.
01:23:43When I hurt my shoulder again, I reacted horribly.
01:23:49And I'm not proud of it.
01:23:51To be honest, there's not much I am proud of since the wreck.
01:23:55I let myself drown in self-pity and I ran away from life.
01:23:59And no surprise, it made me miserable.
01:24:01But you know what's worse?
01:24:06I took it out on everyone around me.
01:24:09People trying to help me, like you.
01:24:14You showed me that I could not only get better, but be better.
01:24:20I still think you will get better.
01:24:25Maybe it shouldn't be me.
01:24:27I mean, Regina's right.
01:24:28There are a lot more qualified people out there.
01:24:29I don't care about that.
01:24:31You don't care about your career?
01:24:34Everything you worked for to play?
01:24:35Of course.
01:24:36And that's something that I'll continue to work towards.
01:24:38But that's not why I'm here right now.
01:24:41I'm here for you.
01:24:42There's no one else who I want in my life.
01:24:51And if you can take being around me, please take a chance.
01:24:56It's not just that I need you.
01:25:04I love you.
01:25:05I love you.
01:25:11Please say something, Ellie.
01:25:16What?
01:25:18Whatever happened to being comfortable with someone in silence?
01:25:21Fine, I take it back.
01:25:30I love you, too.
01:25:31I love you.
01:25:32I, too.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:33I'm out.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:42I love you.
