01x74 - Episode 74

[bunniefuu]

The Articulette reunion
came together.

- But...
- Sissy?

She just can't be gone.

Not now. She just can't.

Judge Farraday has granted
a second search warrant.

Come on in.

You won't have
an infinite number of chances

to make things work with Ashley.

This time, my friend,
you better get it right.

- Will you marry me?
- [gasps]

I have to do a feature
on Marcel Malone.

Do you think
that these nightmares

and this hallucination
are coming

from a real-life experience?

Did you go through something
traumatic I don't know about?

Let's see what color's
your money.

What did you say?

I'm sorry,
is there something you need?

You just leaned in my ear
and you said something.

I want to know what it was.

- Oh.
- Tell me what you said.

Sorry.
Yes, I thought you heard me.

Your server asked me to see if
you were ready for your check.

You didn't say anything,
so, uh...

do-do you want your check?

[clears throat]

You are one hard-working
attorney, Naomi.

That I am.

Hope you got
the crispy baked chicken.

Oh, you know it.
It's baked, but it tastes fried.

One way to keep
the arteries open.

And speaking of which,
um, how's Bill?

I just FaceTimed with him,
and he seems good.

Yeah, it was a stroke,
but a mini one.

Just lucky it wasn't worse.

- Well, glad he's bouncing back.
- Yeah.

Hey, um, I want
to ask you something,

but if you're busy, I can...

No, no, it's fine.

Please sit.

Okay.

Since Jacob's
still at the station,

I grabbed something to eat
and then decided to work

from here instead of going home.

But I was just packing up
anyway.

Okay.

So what's on your mind?

Okay, so I know
that I'm not in it,

and I probably shouldn't
even be asking, but...

I spoke with Ashley earlier.

- Oh.
- So you know?

- Yeah.
- That's good, that's good.

I was hoping
that I wasn't the only person

she spoke with about...

this big date
with Derek tonight.

Oh, I haven't spoken
to Ashley about it.

Ah, Derek.

- Yeah.
- Gotcha.

Well, do you know
what he's planning?

ASHLEY:
Oh, my God.

The ring. It's so...

It's so sparkly.

It's beautiful.

I thought it looked like you.

Pretty, with a little dazzle,

but not too...

Ostentatious.

Yeah, that one.

Luckily, I had a little help
picking it out.

Really? Who?

Naomi.

Naomi knew
you were gonna propose?

I didn't want to get it wrong.

I mean, you, you can trade it in
for a different one

if-if it's not
what you had in mind.

What I had in mind?

I-I don't even think
I thought that far.

Let's see what it looks like on.

[chuckles]

Give me your hand.

Wait!

♪ ♪

So why'd you insist
we meet here?

Well, where else?

This is where the game
is played, Joey.

And you've had a marvelous
run of luck in this room.

You must have found
it so amusing to seduce me

on the same table
where you'd been

cheating my husband at cards.

- I didn't cheat Doug.
- Don't even try it.

I've had time
to reevaluate every move

you've made from
the very beginning of our...

whatever you want to call
this thing we've got going.

All the lies.

Greater still, the manipulation.

One thing became really clear.

For you to go to those lengths,
you must be desperate

to get hold of my...

substantial real estate firm,

which gives me the upper hand.

This is truly amazing.

I mean, you really pulled out
all the stops

for a takeout meal.

I was over in Montgomery County.

My favorite Chinese food place
is over there.

Madison Montgomery
in Montgomery County.

I wish I had been there.

So, hopefully
I didn't get too much food.

I didn't know what you liked,
so I kind of got

a little bit of everything.

Including a little
bit of everything soup.

It's my favorite. Really?

I love it, too.

This is just too sweet.

But for real,

I had every intention
of taking you out.

A promise is a promise.

We can go out another time.

Restaurants can be pretty noisy.

And this way, we get to talk
and not have to shout.

So, forks or chopstick?

Well, if we were out, I would
say chopsticks, of course.

But... fork.

Don't judge me.

All of your secrets
are safe with me.

Your grandmother sends her love.

Thanks.

I saw you confront that busboy.

What was that all about?

I thought I heard him say
something strange.

I don't know.

Now, on top of seeing
things that are not there...

...I'm hearing things, too.

I didn't even realize
he was behind me.

It was like
he just snuck up on me.

And I hear this voice.

Right out of my nightmares.

A voice from that night.

Saying what?

"Let's see

what color's your money."

That's exactly what...

I know.

Word for word.

Martin...

you're really shaken up.

Maybe you should call
one of those therapists

on the list
that Nicole gave you.

Reach out to a shrink?

And what is that supposed to do?

What am I gonna say?

[laughs]
"I need your help,

"but I can't actually say

what I need the help with"?

Well, clearly,

you can't reveal everything.

But you could say that...

you endured a traumatic event

a couple of years ago
and you're having

trouble laying it to rest.

Granddad...

do you think it's possible?

What if that busboy said

what I thought I heard?

I mean,
this never happened before.

Martin, what are you getting at?

What if the busboy...?

What if he is the man
from that night?

Have I got you to thank
for the change in my schedule?

You snuck it in on me
when I was working

on something else, didn't you?

Is this a prank?

I said I'm busy.

What are you going on about?

Some idiot
in the communications office

set up an interview for me
with The Washington Record.

- About what?
- Me.

That's the kind of thing The
Recorddoes from time to time.

The human interest fluff.

And the readers eat it up,
so you make sure

you smile for that camera,
you hear?

You're stringing together
as many platitudes as you can.

This department can use
some good PR.

[clears throat]
Marcel Malone?

- Who's asking?
- I'm Bradley Smith.

I'm here to interview you
for The Washington Record.

Yeah, the, uh, big date tonight.

I actually helped Derek
plan for it.

He wanted it
to be super special.

See, I figured it was
something like that.

I told Ashley she didn't have
anything to worry about.

She told you she was worried?

Why?

Okay, this feels a little weird,
gossiping about a friend.

No, it's not a bad thing
when we're trying

to help them stay together.

That is why you're asking?

No, yeah, it is, of course.

And you know them both longer
than I have, so...

You know that they both
had tension--

Derek and Ashley--
since he moved out, right?

I may have heard
an earful or two.

Yeah, and Ashley told me
that she thinks

that he might be planning
to break up with her.

- What?
- Yeah.

That's awful.

Like, that she would think that,
I mean.

Oh, yeah.

From what I know,

that couldn't be further
from the truth.

Really?

What do you know that I don't?

I guess I might as well
spill the tea now.

Everybody's gonna find out
eventually, right?

Derek is planning on proposing
to Ashley tonight.

He actually might be
doing it right now.

That's-- Hey, that-that's great.

That's great, really.

Wow.

Wow. Okay, uh, you just--

You got to give me a second
to catch my breath.

This is just this huge surprise.

It's, like,
more than a surprise.

I'm-I'm-I'm shocked.

Ash, we've been talking
about getting married

nearly as long
as we've been together.

Yeah, but that was always
more like, like, someday.

I'm not asking you to run away
with me tonight.

I just want to make it official.

Make a statement
about who we are.

That we belong together, Ash.

For our whole lives.

That's so sweet, Derek.

I just...

I'm having a hard time
wrapping my head around this.

- Why?
- Well, honestly,

I was preparing myself for...

For what?

I thought you were
bringing me here

to break up with me.

Yeah. Where'd you get that?

I don't know. I just...

I mean, seriously, Ashley,

you think I would bring you
someplace nice,

drop a ton of cash
just to take a walk?

Does that really sound like me?

I guess not, when you
put it like that, but...

You weren't exactly thrilled
when living together fell apart.

It still bothers you, Derek,
you know that.

Of course it still bothers me.

It'd be pretty messed-up

if I was happy that living
with you didn't work out.

But the fights we had.

Let's be honest,

they were partly my fault, too.

Okay, being real,
a lot my fault.

I can see that.

But those are all things
we can work out.

To me, that's what
this ring is saying.

That we stand for each other.

With each other.

And how, when life gets crazy
and...

I stomp all over
your last nerve...

...our instinct is to always
turn toward each other,

not away.

That we'll always
work things out.

Because the-the love
that this ring represents...

...it ties us together.

Forever.

Will you wear it?

I...

I'm so sorry, Derek.

I just can't.

I'm just not ready for this.

This needs more vodka,
and you...

need a legitimate enterprise

with a reputable
long-term history.

You're standing in one.

[scoffs] Legitimate?

On paper, yes.

[chuckles]
That's all that counts.

Are you also going to claim
this casino is reputable?

Keep talking.

You want something
that's small enough

to fly under the radar
but large enough

to handle multimillion-dollar
transactions.

There's all kinds
of restaurants, car washes,

jewelry stores
that meet that criteria.

And you need an owner who is...

Savvy and sexy.

I was going to say
"beyond reproach."

And?

Someone who has solid ties

to business leaders
in the community.

You used ties
on community leaders?

Who, little, old,
beyond-reproach me?

So you're saying?

My firm is ideal...

for laundering
your wayward windfalls.

Agreed?

Not quite.

You practically forced me
into this position.

Now you're playing hard to get?

I'm simply encouraging you
to be reasonable.

And I'm reminding you
of what you could lose.

- Well, that cuts both ways.
- Does it?

I've been in real estate
a long time.

When the market is hot
and your asset

is in high demand,

the last thing you need to be
is reasonable.

You can ask for the moon

and get it.

There is no circumstance
where I could imagine

that a busboy here at the club

is the same man
from that horrible night

two years ago.

That man took
the settlement money

and he left the country.

You sure about that?

I hired someone
to keep tabs on him.

If anything changed, I'd know.

It seemed so real.

I don't doubt that, son.

But these flashes from the past

coming at you
from out of nowhere,

that's got to be
very disturbing.

But we can get you help.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Must feel great to be
a brand-new businesswoman.

It does.

Going from model to designer
makes me feel

like I have
a little bit more credibility.

Especially since the purses
are the product,

not me.

I've seen
the before and after videos

you streamed of this place.

That's where the runway
used to be, right?

Yeah. I did many a live stream
in front of that catwalk.

It's tough trying
to wrap my head around it.

It feels like
I've been in this room,

viewing it from the exact
same angle

before ever coming
through the door.

And that millions of people
felt the same way.

It makes me uneasy.

The vibe that some
of my followers get,

like they know me.

It's all an illusion.

What do you mean?

Okay.

My followers hear every detail

of my nightly skin care routine.

Seems intimate,
feels intimate for them.

I'm in a robe,

I'm hair in a messy bun.

And as far as they know,
that's the end of my night.

But what they don't see is
who I slip under the covers with

after applying
said nightly skin care products.

And for the record,

I would never post anyone
without their okay.

That includes you, Madison.

Especially you.

Thanks.

I appreciate that.

Of course.

I forgot to ask.

Are you out to your family?

I am now.

I did it in stages.

My mom and sibs were
cool with it right away.

Totally supportive.

My dad needed some time
to get used to the idea.

I feel you on that.

Your dad?

He and I...

It's hard to open up to someone
who's betrayed your trust.

Mm.

I get that.

So, what was it like
whenever you...?

And I get
that you're really good

at making our conversations
about me.

But we were talking about you

coming out to your dad.

Right.

So, what got him
used to the idea?

It was a challenging
process

For a while,
he kept trying to hook me up

with his friend's sons.

Oh, no.

Sadly, yes.

Well, what is it like now?

You know, I work a lot.

And, um, it's funny.

Now my dad pesters me
to get out more.

Now that he's cool
with me being g*y,

he just wants me
to find the right woman.

So you were taking his advice

when you were checking me out
at Uptown that night, huh?

Okay, I already pled
not guilty to this charge.

I was staring off into space,
not looking at you.

You were
totally checking me out.

Okay, maybe I was.

Maybe I was.

[both laughing]

Ashley would have been relieved
just to find out

that Derek wasn't breaking up
with her again.

But a proposal? That's--

Wow.

Um, she'll be excited.

I hope so.

Wait, do you have doubts or...?

Mm. No.

No, not really.

I just wonder
if this is the best time

for Derek to pull this move.

DEREK:
My bad.

Bad move,

bad plan, bad everything.

Derek.

Please don't take this
the wrong way.

I-I'm not saying no,
I'm-I'm just saying...

uh, not yet.

Okay, fine.

I don't know what
the difference is, but whatever.

Oh, come on.

We're still figuring this out.

We're still, you know,
we're trying to...

figure out what makes us
happy... how to make this work.

I don't need to figure out
that you make me happy, Ashley.

You.

It's that simple.

At least for me, it is.

Plus, you talked
about wanting to marry me.

I do.

Now's your chance.

Say yes.

I just can't.

Why not?

It just doesn't feel right.

Look, when I agreed
to let you move in with me,

there was this little voice
inside my head telling me

we weren't doing it
for the right reasons.

But I didn't listen to it.

And then everything
between us became

this huge mess,
and-and your feelings got hurt.

And...

I don't want
to make that mistake again.

Can't...
can't you understand that?

I got a voice inside, too.

But mine is telling me
something different now.

Voice in my head is saying

you've been playing me.

So you have been
on the force now,

according to my research,
for 37 years?

Yep.

Uh, you and I actually
have someone in common.

Yeah, we both know
Jacob Hawthorne.

- Oh.
- Yeah, he's, um...

well, he's your partner now,
if I understand correctly.

Oh, yeah, the partnership,

it's pretty much in name only.

The kid got himself assigned

to the case of the woman

that's been harassing
your in-laws.

Been spending a lot
of his time on that one.

You know who my in-laws are?

What kind of detective
would I be

if I didn't know that you were

a Dupree grandson-in-law?

That you're married
to the congressman.

I know all about him.

So?

What's it going to be?

Are we doing this thing or not?

I'm trying to be circumspect

about a certain aspect
of this negotiation.

No need for that.

Why dance around
when being blunt gets us

where we're going faster?

All right.

You have no bargaining power.

That's not true.

I have bargaining power.

- And...
- Vanessa.

You owe me
a pretty hefty chunk of cash.

[scoffs]
I don't.

All right, technically,
the debt is Doug's.

But, as his spouse,

legally speaking, so to speak,

you are responsible.

You enjoyed setting your little
trap for Doug, didn't you?

Did your research on both of us.

I've been married to that man
for a large chunk of my life.

And you found out more about
our personal vulnerabilities

than I knew about him.

Or he knew about me.

I really don't want
to embarrass either of you.

Really?

All right, I admit I care

more about you
than I do about Doug.

Why would I want
to see you suffer

when all I really want to do is
send you into throes of ecstasy?

We've got a lot to get past

before we put that
on this table again.

Which is why I've come up
with a proposal.

This I must hear.

You arrange for me
certain real estate deals,

and you take a commission

that allows you
to pay down Doug's debt.

See?

Simple, painless,

and best of all,

discreet.

[snickers]

You're amused.

You're funny.

How so?

Well, you didn't need
to drive Doug

into debt or force my hand
to let you use my business.

The joke's on you, Joey.

Putting in all that effort,

going to all that trouble,

when the whole time

all you had to do was ask.

This could be
just me being super sensitive.

I've kind of been...

...contemplative
since my dad's stroke.

But I don't think
it was a coincidence

that Ashley and Derek's
relationship

started going south
after he got hurt in that fire.

When you're face-to-face
with someone's mortality

and that fear
of suddenly losing them,

it can throw your emotions
way off-balance.

Yeah, I interviewed
both of them at the hospital

for my documentary
a little while ago.

Ashley was intensely grateful

that Derek had survived.

Of course, yes, I know.

But that gratitude
might have replaced

some healthy common sense.

Yeah.

Listen,
Derek got back on his feet

at Ashley's place, so it seemed

like the natural next step
would be for him to move in.

But things might have gone
a little bit

more slowly for them
if he'd never gotten hurt.

And they might have been
better off.

Yeah, I can see what you mean.

Anyway,
I'm just thinking out loud.

Please don't repeat
any of that to Derek or Ashley.

No, I-I wouldn't.

Okay.

- They'll figure it out.
- Yeah.

Who knows? Maybe
it's already happening.

Yeah.

I know you aren't happy
with me right now,

but I'm just trying to be
totally honest with you.

I don't buy that.

You said a thousand times
that you want to be with me.

But what you really mean
is you don't want to break up,

don't want to hurt my feelings,
which isn't the same

as being ready to commit to me,

which you obviously are not.

I don't understand why
this has to happen right now.

Why are you pushing so hard?

Where's the fire?

Maybe I don't want
to waste my time.

I'm a waste of time?

- That's how you feel?
- Don't twist my words.

Oh, I misunderstood, I'm sorry,
you meant something else?

- Why don't you say it?
- I can't do this anymore.

Do what, Derek, this argument?

Or us?

How did this all go so wrong?

I think you just finally
happened to blurt out the truth.

That you're
just as unsure as I am

about where things
stand with us.

Was this really
a commitment from you?

Or a test for me?

So, tell me
about your first crush.

Uh, she was a theater kid.

Oh, a triple threat?

Yep, she could sing,
dance and act.

Only the best for me.

And for me.

Okay, stop distracting me.

I want to hear about
this singer, dancer, actress.

And I want to know what it was
like when Madison Montgomery

first fell
into deep infatuation.

- This was high school.
- I don't care.

We're basically who we are
from a very early age.

Well, she had an amazing voice.

Mm-hmm.

She starred in all
the school musicals.

I joined stage crew
just to be near her.

How did that go?

We had a goodbye kiss
at the end of the summer

because her family
was moving to New York.

She'd be attending
a performing arts high school

to pursue her career.

And she became a Broadway star.

Or...?

Not as far as I know,

but wherever she is,
I wish her well.

That's really adorable.

So you always knew
that you were into girls?

Yes.

What about you?

I dated mostly guys
in high school,

but when I was 17 and my
career started to pick up,

things got a little wild.

I did a lot of experimenting.

Our worlds are so different.

All of my experimenting
happened in actual chem labs.

- With your lab partners or...?
- [laughs]

You make me laugh so much.

[laughs]
I like your laugh.

And I love to bring it out.

So tell me, Chelsea,

where are you now?

Are you still experimenting?

This, tonight,
is not an experiment.

If there was a questionnaire,

I would describe myself
as q*eer.

Does that mean you've had
relationships with women?

Depends on your definition
of relationships.

I've never really settled down,
but there have been women.

Very recently, actually, but...

that didn't last long.

Anyway,
whoever I'm attracted to,

um, I don't really care
about their gender.

What I care about
is their intelligence,

their sense of humor,

and their heart.

The way that their eyes light up

when they talk
about something they love,

like brain science.

And most of all...

I care about

luscious lips.

Thanks for clarifying.

Anytime.

Hey, why can't you believe me
when I tell you I love you?

Why can't that be enough
for now?

Because "not now" or "not yet"

doesn't feel like love.

Feels like you're keeping me
on the hook,

holding out for a better offer.

That is so not true.

[sighs]
I'm not seeing anybody else.

I'm, I'm not even looking.

Yeah, well,
maybe you should be, Ash.

Maybe we both should be.

[sobbing]

You all right, grandson?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, so...

about my husband...

Isn't this interview
supposed to be about me

and my retirement plans?

I'll tell you what,

I'm gonna do
a boatload of fishing

once I'm out of here.

On the, um, the Sheila,right?

Impressive. Done your homework.

Yeah, it just came up online
when I was starting my research.

Oh, I also read
that you are a current member

of the Herald Harbor Yacht Club?

Yeah, doctor told me,
if I wanted to live past my 60s,

that I'd have to be more active.

- Yeah.
- And the Sheilawas my solution.

Well, it is a beautiful boat.

- Thank you.
- And fast, too.

I also read that you took third

in the club's "frostbite series"
races last winter?

Yeah, that was sweet.

Cold but sweet.

Yeah, they actually
published a picture

in the newsletter after you won.

I have it right here.

That's you, right?

Seems to be.

Yeah.

Doesn't that look
like Joey Armstrong

in the background?

I have no idea.

Huh.

That's odd.

You guys are members
of the same yacht club.

You'd think that you would have
run into each other.

Not that I recall.

You said
all I had to do was ask.

But that ask needs a few
more zeros to be considered.

You've liked
all my other propositions.

Why doesn't this one hit
the sweet spot?

No. [scoffs]

There's nothing in it for me.

I have no interest
in being your mark, Joey.

Isn't that what they call it
in your world?

I could, however, be enticed

into a partnership

if the terms
were favorable enough.

I'm curious to know
what would entice you.

Obviously,
you'd have to forgive

the bogus debt up front
as a gesture of good faith.

I'd want final say
on which projects we'd pursue,

since I'm the one
with expertise in real estate.

And commissions
on each transaction

for myself and Doug.

Doug?

I'm unfaithful, Joey,
not disloyal.

And Doug,
he deserves some compensation

for all the crap
he took from you.

Well...

everything's negotiable.

I already told you
you'd get a commission,

so you can share your three
percent with whoever you like.

Three? No.

Six percent.

- Six?
- Six for Doug.





Are you out of your mind?

Looks like things
didn't go so well.

[sobbing]

Oh, come on.

Take it from a poker player,

you just overplayed your hand.

Take it
from a good businesswoman,

I don't think I did.

Well, I could just collect
Doug's debt and walk away.

Like the tough guy you are.

But I don't have
the limitations you do.

Having to stay under
the radar, let's call it.

You could try
to collect from Doug,

but then I'd feel compelled
to alert

my connections in law
enforcement and the media.

Oh, and maybe the Office
of Lottery and Gaming

about the shady operations
taking place in this very room.

[fake crying]: I think I'd make
a very sympathetic witness

on camera.

I could play the part well.

No one could prove
cheating happened in here.

Maybe.

But then you never know where
an investigation might lead.

I have to assume
you've been using the casino

to launder money the same way
you want to use my business.

Maybe

the reason you're so eager
to clean money elsewhere

is because this casino
is already under suspicion.

You're adorable.

But fair warning.

You don't want
to make an enemy out of me.

Of course I don't.

I like you, Joey.

I really do.

And that's the whole point
of my counteroffer.

There's no reason for the two
of us to go to w*r when...

...there are such better options
on the table.

So to speak.

You do like to role-play,
don't you?

Don't you?

Maybe there is something
to your offer.

I was led to believe
this interview

was about my career,
not my weekend hobbies.

Yeah, you're right.

I was just distracted
by that very large,

very expensive boat.

Okay, we can, um...

We'll get back
to some police work.

So, you've been involved
with some very interesting cases

over the years.

The, uh, Dalrymple m*rder.

You've been misinformed.

Wasn't my case.

Oh, and that one
was never solved, right?

The main suspect
was Joey Armstrong's guy,

uh, Fast Eddie,
who's usually a burglar,

but he's also a pretty good
trigger man, as well.

But he had confessed

to a breaking-and-entering case

across town at the exact
same time as the m*rder.

So, well...

you remember that case, right?

Lucky break for that guy.

Well, for you, too,

because, uh, you got the collar.

Fast Eddie got slapped
on the wrist and an alibi.

And you know what,
I just checked,

and Fast Eddie is still
on Joey Armstrong's payroll.

Is that right?

Yeah.

It's funny how your path
and Joey's path

seems to keep crossing.

You're a good friend, Andre.

I guess you came back
in case I was right

about Derek breaking up with me.

That's not what happened.

Okay.

He actually proposed to me.

I mean,
I didn't see that coming.

But it wasn't a real proposal.

- It was more like an ultimatum.
- Mm.

And when I told him
I wasn't ready to get engaged...

...he was done with me.

Um, he's kind of a hothead,
you know that.

Hey, I think Derek
is gonna cool off

and realize
what a mistake he made.

You didn't see his face.

He was so hurt and angry.

And when he left...

I felt like I was
watching my whole future

walk out that door with him.

Ashley, it's okay.

What's it say?

"You will find success
in a new endeavor."

I'll have to frame that and
put it above my design table.

What does yours say?

I don't know if I should.

Oh, come on, you only live once.

What does it say?

"Go for it."

Here, why don't I clean up
some of this stuff?

Why did I get so much stuff?

Like, I don't know,
I don't want to waste it.

I don't know,
what are we gonna do with it?

Well, I'll keep some here
and share with Kat.

And my mom loves Chinese,

so I'm sure I can store
some in her fridge.

Why don't we combine
these cartons of rice?

So, after the case
with Joey's guy...

Sorry, but we gonna have
to cut this short.

Duty calls.

I was told that I have an hour

for this interview by my paper.

I guess the old adage is true.

Can't believe everything
the papers tell you.

I just have a few more questions
to get through.

Is that what those were,
questions?

They felt more like stones.

Speaking of which, you ever
heard the expression of...

people living in glass houses?

Why would you think
that I live in a glass house?

Don't ask me.

You're
the investigative reporter.

We're done here.

Don't let the door hit you.

Why are you talking to me?

And what do you want?

And who the hell are you?
