01x49 - Episode 49

[bunniefuu]

NAOMI:
No rooms available?

Not even one?

I don't need a shelter!

June, you got to face it.

Your days in Tent City are over.

But I like it there.

Except when somebody
lays hands on my suff.

And that's when the boxer
in you comes out. We know.

We don't need another incident
like the last one.

[scoffs]

I've called more shelters
than I can count,

and I can't find
a single bed available.

Fine by me.

Naomi,

this might be a good time
to use that name of yours.

You know how I hate doing that.

Yeah, I know.
But nothing else seems to work.

It might be a good time to pull
those Dupree-Hamilton strings

-of yours.
-No.

I hate strings.

The only thing worse
than a lawyer

is people who pull strings.

-No offense.
-NAOMI: Please.

You've said much worse.

Thanks for the idea, baby.

Um, I'm gonna make
one more call.

And you'll learn soon

what my other clients
already know, June--

I never quit.

VERNON:
Coffee is served.

Mm.

No, thank you, dear.

I'm not in the mood.

Neither am I, Daddy.

Well...

that makes three of us.
[chuckles softly]

I just used coffee as an excuse
to give you two a little...

mother-daughter alone time.

I know. Thank you.

It was much appreciated.

And now I suppose
I should do my part

and give you some time
with your daddy.

[sniffles]
I'll just go...

fix my face.
[chuckles]

There is nothing
about that face that's broken.

-[chuckles]
-Amen.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

-Daddy's turn now.
-Mm.

How are Kat and Martin?

I want to make sure
that they're okay.

I'll call the kids.

Don't you worry about that.

How are you holding up,
sweetheart?

By a thread.

-Mm.
-But I wouldn't even have that

if it wasn't for you and Mother.

I'm so lucky to have you.

That goes both ways.

I thought
I got rid of the problem.

Look, I'm not responsible
for crazy.

You didn't tell me, Bill.

I was your wife.

This was my family.

I made a judgment call, okay?

The man made a mistake,
but he was

and still is madly in love
with Nicole.

I didn't expect this
to crop up and haunt them.

It wasn't your call to make.

Listen,

when we were together,
your family was my family.

And I went above and beyond
to protect them,

even from themselves.

Tell me when and where

you have ever done anything to
help anyone other than yourself.

I've said it once.
I will say it a million times.

You wouldn't be Bill Hamilton
without riding my family's name.

Your firm would be
about chasing ambulances

-and hanging out at the ICU.
-Okay,

and you pointing this out is
supposed to do what, Dani, huh?

Make me see
the error of my ways?

Maybe!

[scoffs]

And here I thought you
didn't care about me anymore.

♪ ♪

You arrogant,
self-serving son of a b*tch.

Ah, here we go
with Dani's greatest hits.

Can you at least come up
with new material?

Okay.

So let me make sure
I have this straight.

Ted cheated on my sister.

And when his side piece
got pregnant

and wanted to put their affair
and expected baby

on blast,
he called in the fixer-- you.

Who then terrified this woman
into having an ab*rtion.

Or so you both thought.

And then you ran her out
of town?

Well, not that I need
to explain myself to you

or any other Dupree anymore,

but, yes, that about sums it up.

Yeah. So now you know.

Dr. "Perfect Ted"

-is nothing of the kind.
-Ha.

You really are a piece of work.

Yeah.

Who's gone above and beyond
in service of the Duprees.

May God forgive me.

So what else have you fixed
for my family, Bill?

What other skeletons are waiting
to jump out of the closet

and destroy all our lives?

Hey. How are you?

Went to the gym earlier
to work off the negative energy.

You do seem calmer.

And the kids
seem okay this morning.

Yeah, they probably don't think

their grandparents
are broken up for good.

-[scoffs softly]
-Did you go

to the office
after your workout?

Yeah. Naomi called
and asked for a favor,

which was
a pleasant distraction.

What did she want?

Help finding
a unhoused woman a room.

-Apparently all the shelters
are full.
-Mm.

Which is no surprise there.

Were you able to help her?

I was, through a connection
that works with a hotel

that's providing the city
with housing for the homeless.

More and more are doing that
these days.

In fact, my commission
is in the process

of setting up a meeting

to make sure
the program is going good.

That's good.

As long as it's not...

Never mind.

As long as it's not what?

Tell me.
What are you keeping from me?

Do you have any conscience
at all, Bill?

Can you even fathom
what this has done

to Nicole,
let alone that woman?!

Get off your high horse, Dani.

I didn't force Ted
into that woman's bed.

He went there on his own.

And when things went south,

he did what all of you Duprees
do at one point or another--

he came to me
to make the problem go away.

No! You need
to come down to earth.

What does it say about you

that when my family
might have needed your help,

you were willing to sink lower

than anyone
could possibly imagine?

Well, maybe it's because your
family needed me to get dirty

as long as their precious hands
stayed clean.

Let me tell you something.

It was made clear to me
from the start

that I was expected
to fulfill a certain role.

Now, if that offends you
so much,

then you need to go take it up
with the ringmasters--

the great Vernon
and Anita Dupree.

They say when you have a child,

it's like walking
with your heart

around the world
outside of your body.

Every blow,
every scratch they suffer,

you...

you feel much more than they do.

I'm not even feeling any pain.

All I feel is... empty.

I went from rage to despair,
mixed with confusion,

and now I think I've...

landed at numb.

That's not a bad thing.

It's your body
protecting itself.

Soon the shock will fade, and...

all the emotions
will come crashing in.

Then all you'll be able
to do is feel.

Yay. Something
to look forward to.

[chuckles]
No.

But, uh,

it's nothing to fear.

Your family loves you.

We got you.

So you cry, scream.

You do...

everything
your heart tells you to,

or takes you through.

We won't let you fall.

So that's the hotel
where my dad is staying.

I didn't want to lie to you,

but Vernon asked me
not to tell you where Ted is.

MARTIN:
So everyone knew

where my dad went
but kept it from me,

like I'm some savage beast
who can't control himself?

That is not what I said.

But this right here

is exactly why Vernon told me
not to tell you.

You do not get to enter
into agreements

with my family behind my back,

deciding if I should or should
not know about my own father.

I'm not a damn child.

[scoffs, grunts]

You are a lifesaver.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Turns out
my cousin has a contact

at the Office
of Economic Development.

They did a little digging,

and they were able
to find you a room in a hotel

that works with a charity
to put up unhoused people.

See, that's even better
than a regular shelter.

I don't need any of it.

I'm fine where I am.

June, I'm not gonna be able
to focus on your case properly

if I'm worried
about your safety.

I can take care of myself.

And the way
you took care of yourself

is what got you arrested
in the first place.

We can't have that happen again.

To keep it from happening,

it's better
if you stay at the hotel.

[sighs]

I am doing this by protest.

Duly noted for the record.

Come on.
I'll take you to your new home

while Naomi stays back
and gets some work done.

[knocking]

Hey. I figured
you could use some company.

You're right about that.

You're the only person
that's willing to endure me

right about now.

Well, if it helps,

-I didn't come empty-handed.
-[chuckles]

That's the perfect medicine
that I need.

Yeah.

So, fill me in.

Is everything going good
at the hospital?

Well, that's the only thing
that I have left.

This morning, I...

took evil looks
from my coworkers

and everybody that came
to the anniversary

and everyone that loves
and adores Nicole.

Which is...

-everyone.
-[chuckles]

Right.

Is there anything I can do?

Yeah. Um, if you could...

convince my wife that I'm
still the man that she married

and has been in love with
for years and years and years.

I can try. But I'm not sure
Aunt Nicole is gonna want

to listen to me.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Man, I'm so sorry
you two are going through this.

I'm the one that put everyone
in an untenable position.

I'll regret that
for the rest of my life.

[sighs]

I used to think

Ted was the closest thing
I'd find to you.

Intelligent, funny, loving.

Honest. Or so I thought.

How could I have been so blind?

ANITA:
Stop.

Now, we talked about this.

Now, you can trash Ted
and that tr*mp Leslie

to your heart's content.

But no one gets
to criticize my daughter.

Not even my daughter.

Your mother's right.

What happened to you
was out of your control.

You did nothing
but love your husband.

And the fact that
he isn't worthy of that love,

well, that's his own damn fault.

I felt adrift, like everything
was just strange and unfamiliar.

But here,

everything starts
to feel like it should.

You make me feel
so secure and loved.

Because you so, so are.

But I have hid out here
long enough.

It is time for me to go home.

Oh, no, you don't have to.

Stay here as long as you want.

No, I need to start standing
on my own two feet again.

I love you both.

Love you more.

Love you, baby.

Love you, Mommy.

Mmm.

ANITA:
Vernon,

I know nonviolence
is a code you live by,

and under normal circumstances,

I'd be right there with you.

But right now,

there is nothing I'd like more
than to...

Give Ted Richardson
one old-fashioned butt whupping.

You know me so well.

My date's
been held up for a few.

So you have time to tell me
what that was all about.

Why was my brother so upset?

Well, your grandfather asked me

not to tell Martin
where your dad is staying.

Granddad couldn't possibly think
Martin would try to hurt Dad.

Of course not.

I think he was just being
overprotective.

Which I guess
I am guilty of, too.

[groans] God, maybe...
maybe Martin is right.

Maybe I should just stay out
of Dupree family business.

I never thought
I'd leave you speechless.

Do you or do you not agree?

You really don't care how your
actions affect others, do you?

"Others" meaning you?

Right?
'Cause the whole world revolves

-around you.
-Your world certainly does,

because everything you do
affects my family.

Look,

I don't know
what to tell you, Dani.

What's done is done and
it can't be undone, now, can it?

Now, are you done?

-Stay out of my family business.
-That's fine by me.

Hell, the Duprees
have always been

far more trouble
than they're worth.

-Then it should be easy for you
to stay the hell away.
-[scoffs]

Wasn't it obvious
I wanted out when I left you?

Don't let the door hit you.

I can't believe I ever loved
such a soulless man.

[door closes]

When you and Dani were married,
could the whole neighborhood

-hear your arguments?
-Baby, I know.

I'm-I'm so sorry, Hayley.
I'm sorry.

I just...

Look, I hope you're not letting
any of her hateful words

take up any space in your head.

Well, I hope
that you were serious

when you said you were done
helping her family.

Look,

obviously, I want to keep
Naomi and Chelsea in my life,

but the rest of them can go to
hell, as far as I'm concerned.

So other than Naomi and Chelsea,

does that mean we're done
with your ex-wife

and the rest of that family?

[chuckles softly]

My answer is a definite...

-maybe. [laughs]
-That's not funny!

-I thought you loved me
for my sense of humor.
-[scoffs]

-Come here.
-[chuckles]

-[chuckles] Mmm.
-Mmm.

Mm.

I'm disappointed in you, Smitty.

I thought you'd be smart enough
to swerve

when my brother
starts acting all extra.

You are a much better husband
than he deserves.

And an outstanding father

to my wonderful niece
and nephew.

You are

a loved and valued member
of this family,

and you always will be.

And if you and Martin split up,

we'd keep you.

Mm.
[chuckles]

This thing with your folks,
it really rocked you, too, huh?

Yeah.

-Well, I'm here for you,
sis-in-law.
-[phone buzzes]

[chuckles softly]

Oh, sh**t. There's a problem
with the samples,

and the shipper's on its way.

-I got to handle this.
-It's fine.

-Bye, Kat.
-Bye.

-Kat, are you leaving?
-[sighs]

I'll be right back, Tomas.

I have to run a quick errand.

Can you grab a table for us?

I gave your father hell
for keeping Ted's secret.

NAOMI:
While I'll applaud
your loyalty to Aunt Nicole,

I think
you should stay out of this.

In fact, I think
it's probably best for everyone

if you just stay far away from
anything Dad-related right now.

Sorry, not happening.

He helped destroy
my sister's life,

and he needs to know
he's not getting away with it.

Duprees don't run,

and we damn sure don't hide.

I love you, Mom, but you yelling
at Dad benefits no one.

Let me deal with him.

Okay, I need you to trust me.

I know what I'm doing.

Yes, you do.

And I love you back.
[smooches] Ciao.

[footsteps approaching]

-Hey!
-Hi.

-Did we arrange to meet today?
-No.

Derek and I ended up being off
at the same time,

which hardly ever happens.

And we knew you two would
probably be at Orphey Gene's,

so we thought we'd just come on
by and give it a chance.

-Mm-hmm.
-Where's Jacob?

He's out running an errand,
but he should be back soon.

Sit, please.
I can use the company.

[sighs]

-Oh!
-Wow.

-[chuckling]
-I leave my wife alone
and what happens?

She picks up two strangers.

You snooze, you lose, Jacob.

All right, so I got June
all settled in at the hotel,

even though
she wasn't happy about it.

But I told 'em
if they have any issues

-to call me directly.
-Good.

-June?
-A client of mine.

Is this a new service you're
providing, finding housing?

'Cause Ash and I could
certainly use a bigger place.

[chuckles]
June definitely needs

a little more attention
than my usual clients.

-Thank you
for all your help today.
-Yeah.

You know, I think
June is going to really like

her living arrangements sooner
than we think.

Hey, man, I trust and believe

that you two
are gonna get through this

-and get your marriage back
on track.
-Hmm.

You have more faith than I do.

I don't know how we're gonna get
this thing back on track.

But I might.

Keep the faith, Uncle T.

Hmm.

I'm gonna holler at you later.

Thank you, Nephew.

-Love you, man.
-Love you, man.

[door closes]

[knocking]

Forget something?

[phone buzzes]

Okay if I join you?

If you don't mind sitting
with the most hateful girl

to ever darken Fairmont Crest.

I work for Bill Hamilton,
remember?

Hanging out with polarizing
folks doesn't faze me.

I wouldn't be
very good company right now.

Lucky for you,
I'm not very demanding.

So unless you object...

I don't often say this,

but you've surprised me.

I never would have pegged you
as the malicious type.

Wow.

You know,
most of the folks around here

just choose to avoid me,

but you actually went out
of your way

to sit here
and say hateful things.

And it hurts
even more coming from you.

Hey. I'm so sorry, Auntie.

Mmm. It's okay, Andre.

I'll be okay.

Come in.

Can I get you something
to drink or eat?

Wait, I don't even know if the
groceries have been delivered.

-Let me ask Mona.
-Oh, it's okay.

Hey, I don't need anything.

[sighs]

But I hate
what you're going through.

I wish I'd have told you
before this.

♪ ♪

What do you mean

you wish
you would have told me before?

You knew about Ted's affair?

He told me.

But not about Eva.

Uncle Ted didn't know about her.

I caught him
in a vulnerable moment,

and he needed
someone to confide in.

Someone other than his wife?

He couldn't bring himself
to tell you the truth.

But, listen,
he was torn up on the inside.

You knew
and you didn't say a word?

[sighs]

-[chuckling]
-[phone buzzing]

-Are you done?
-Scuse me, I got to take this.

-Go for it.
-Yeah.

-Pretty good, right?
-Mmm.

Detective Hawthorne.

[sighs]

All right.

Yeah. Thanks
for letting me know.

What's wrong?

That was the hotel.

Is June making trouble already?

She's gone.

Took all her stuff and left.

Oh, no.

Don't worry.
I think I know where she'll be.

Derek, I might need a hand.

-You got it.
-We'll be right back.

[scoffs]

Okay. While the boys
are off handling your client,

who I'm sure
is going to be just fine,

girl talk.

Why don't you let me know
how you've been coping

with this new
Dupree family scandal?

I love
that you have to say "new."

I feel like...

"Dupree" is another word
for "drama."

Enough deflecting.

You just found out
that your uncle is a cheater

and you've got a new cousin
as a result.

That's got to have you feeling
some type of way.

I mean,

for it to happen to them,
of all people.

My Aunt Nicole and Uncle Ted
were always the ideal couple

in my eyes.

You know?
They always seemed so happy.

And if they couldn't make it,
who of us can?

Oh, no, do not go there.

-I'm just saying--
-You and Jacob,

you guys are total icons
of love.

-Oh, my God.
-[laughs]

No, but seriously...

[sighs]

Derek and I hope
to get to that stage someday.

Yeah, Jacob and I are fine.

For now, at least.

Because when it comes
to the Dupree family,

the only thing that's for sure

is that there is
never a dull moment.

Picked up another habit, I see.

Or is this just another vice
you've been keeping from us?

I guess the real Ted Richardson
is a lot more second-rate

than I imagined.

Go ahead. Give it to me.

Give it to me good.
I know you want to.

Do you think I give a damn
what you want me to do, Dad?

You and all the lies have all
but destroyed the mother I love.

Never question
whether I love your mother.

And how you show it--

by telling her lies?

Telling us lies

for years? And I'm just
expected to forgive you?

Even if I could,

who am I supposed to forgive

when I don't even know
who you are?

Do you have any idea
how much I looked up to you?

In high school,
when all of the other kids

used to rag on their fathers,

I bragged
that mine was the best.

And other dads
would criticize their sons

for not excelling in sports.

But when I chose the debate team
over basketball,

you encouraged it.

You told me
the only thing that mattered

was that I was happy
about my choice.

-I remember that. You kicked a*s
on the debate team.
-Don't.

Don't do that.

Because you're not that man.

And you're certainly not
the father that I knew.

I was named
after Dr. Martin Luther King.

But I idolized you.

And for what?

It was all smoke and mirrors.

Nothing to say?

Because I'm right here,

ready to hear any lie

or story
you feel like telling me.

Fire away, Dad.

Just treat me like another one
of your victims.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
we'll paper the settlement,

and I'll get you a copy
for your review.

Uh-huh.

Yep. By end
of business tomorrow.

Sure.

All right. Yep.
Looking forward.

Bye.

[grunts]

Smitty.

Thank you so much for coming.

Don't make me worry
about you, too.

I'm fine.

No, you're not.

Please try not to let all this
get the better of you.

You know,

I can almost understand a man
cheating on his wife

if things have gotten that bad
between them.

But what Ted did

while Nicole was going
through multiple miscarriages,

feeling like a failure

because she couldn't give him
another child,

and him lying to all of us,

pretending to be
an upright citizen,

pillar of the community,

it's unforgivable.

Far be it from me to defend Ted.

But he did say

that he believed
the woman had aborted the child.

Which means
he didn't know about Eva.

Vernon,

the man impregnated
another woman

while married to our daughter.

Did we even know this man?

I doubt we ever really know
our fellow man.

But I do know this much.

Ted is in for the tongue-lashing
of his life

from his mother-in-law.

I'm about to walk up
one side of him

and right down the other.

And he will deserve
every bit of it.

Dani.

You seem...

happy.

Did Rowena promise to get you

some apple crisp
to take home with you?

She did. Right after I went to
Bill's and ripped him a new one.

What he did to Nicole, to
this family is unconscionable.

And someone needed
to tell him that.

I don't know
if that was the best idea.

You and Mother were just talking
about chewing Ted out.

So why is it so bad that I gave
Bill a piece of my mind?

Anyway, I'm done with him.

But with what Nicole's
been put through,

rest assured,

I'm not finished
making folks pay.

I know I probably should
have said something,

but I was stuck
between a rock and a hard place.

Forgive me. Please.

It's not your fault.

And I know
it must have been hard

to be put in the middle
like that.

Ted should have never done that
to you.

[scoffs]
It seems like every hour,

I'm learning more and more
about this man that I married.

A stranger in my house,
sleeping in my bed,

who kept a secret from me for
practically our entire marriage.

Look, I know it's k*lling you,

but I also know
how much it's hurting Uncle Ted.

Look, I need you to know
that he really does love you

and he regrets
keeping this secret from you.

Come on. You know he would
have never went through this

if he knew he had a child.

I'm sure he would have handled
things much differently.

I hear everything you're saying.

But what am I supposed
to do with that?

-All it does
is cause me more pain.
-[door closes]

VANESSA:
Nicole.

-[Nicole sighs]
-Come here.

[sighs]

Oh, babe.

I guess you had your reasons
for what you did. It's just...

I thought I'd gotten
to know you a little bit.

Except I didn't realize
you had it in you

to throw a monkey wrench
into so many people's lives

without a second thought.

Well,

as fun as it's been listening
to hear you misjudge me,

I have someplace,
anyplace else to be.

Look, I'm just trying
to understand.

Just let me go
before I fall apart right here

and humiliate myself even more.

Don't go. Maybe I did
misinterpret some things.

You can talk to me.

Come on. Stay.

Can I offer you a drink?

No, thank you.

I came in response
to your summons.

What's so urgent?

Well, I heard that you're
working as a journalist again.

Freelancing for the
Washington Record,no less.

Mm-hmm. And that matters to you
because...?

Well, I've always thought

you were
a talented reporter, Smitty.

That piece you did

uncovering the embezzlement
at that tech corporation--

should have won a Pulitzer.

I just wanted to congratulate
you on resuming your career

and offer my assistance
wherever you may need it.

Are you thinking
that I need a legal consultant?

-Because the Record
has staff for that.
-Yeah, of course,

of course. But, you know,

one never knows when a friend
or even an ex-friend

might be useful.

This town runs on favors,
Smitty.

And sometimes
that's all it takes

for a smart man to get ahead.

So your urgent call
was to offer me friendship?

Or, rather,
an unspecified favor?

Yeah, I think that we can be
very useful to one another

-going forward, provided--
-Ah.

Yeah, okay,
now we're getting to it.

Provided that you remind
your husband

how important it is
that we all remember

that we're on the same team.

And what team is that, Bill?

Martin will understand.

So you have nothing
to say to me?

All out of lies?

Martin,

the mistakes that I've made...

do not invalidate the love
that I have for you and Kat.

Especially not your mother.

She is my universe.

I love her more than life.

And the only thing
that matters to me is my family.

God, Martin.

I'm sorry

that I put you through this
and our family.

But I'm gonna do everything that
I can to get my family back.

[door opens]

I love you, son.

♪ ♪

Ah, get off me.

We found her back
at the underpass.

She packs a hell of a punch.

This is harassment, kidnapping.

It's nothing of the sort.

June, you shouldn't have run off
like that.

Is this a free country
or isn't it?

And, hey, you're my lawyer,
aren't you?

Doesn't that mean I get
to tell you what to do

and not the other way around?

JACOB:
Nothing about your situation

is typical, June.

Now, please, just sit down
and behave yourself.

Come here.

-Sit down.
-These are our friends.

You've already met Derek.

Painfully so.

This is Ashley.

Hi.

Mm.

Charmed, I'm sure.

JACOB:
She refused to go back
to the hotel,

so we brought her here.

At least until we could
figure out what to do next.

After all the trouble it took to
find you a safe place to live,

why did you leave?

Because the underpass
is where I live,

and I like it there.

And it's where I'm going
to stay.

And there's not a damn thing
you can do about it.

I'm not proud of what I did.

And I know
I let things go too far.

And in the end,

I found myself not only trying
to protect my mom

but also...

my father.

God.

That feels really strange,
calling him that.

And I didn't want
to hurt Nicole either.

I genuinely, deeply care
for all three of them.

And I ended up failing them all.

Everything just got
so out of hand.

I know what I did was wrong.

And I probably could
have stopped it

if I'd only realized that
sooner.

[shudders]
I really have to go.

I don't want to do this.
Not here.

Not in front
of all these people.

For a long time, I was worried
that you were missing out

by playing around
and not committing to Doug

or finding somebody
that you wanted to commit to.

But now?

I'm wondering if your way
was right all along.

I mean, if you don't give
your heart to any one man,

it is less likely that
it will get handed back to you.

If I'd found anything
like the love you have...

had with Ted, I would have been
Mrs. Monogamy, too.

You two were so damn happy.

Who could have possibly seen
anything like this coming?

[scoffs]
Certainly not me.

Vanessa, I am exhausted.

I need some time alone.

I love you for coming by.

And I feel incredibly blessed
to have

so many people loving me
and supporting me.

But I just...
I need some time to process.

Is there anything I can do
for you before I go?

-Just this.
-Mm.

If I am not the first person
you call

when you are ready to talk...

Don't worry. You will be.

Favor? Can you leave
the door ajar?

I'm expecting a food delivery.

God knows I am not cooking.

-You got it.
-Thanks.

[knocking]

Teddy boy.

Or is it "Teddy Bear"?

How's my favorite scumbag
brother-in-law doing?

My sister's too nice to tell you

what a piece of trash
you really are,

so I'm here to do it for her.

Prepare for the worst.

'Cause you sure as hell
have it coming.

-[grunts]
-[doorbell rings]

Can you leave the food
inside the door, please?

Thank you!

Are you hungry?

Sorry I didn't think
to bring anything.

How did you get beyond the gate?

I got the codes from Eva.

I'll have them changed
immediately.

Now get the hell out
of my house.

I know you hate me,

but I need you to hear me out.

There's something
you need to know.

LESLIE:
Look at you,
living a life with the parent

that you chose.

Don't give me another thought.

-Anything for you, Mr. Dupree.
-Mm.

Except that.

So you're admitting it?

Eva ran Laura off the road.

Do you want to tell me
what's going on

-with you and Andre?
-[chuckles]

What took you so long
to wind up in my bed?
