Original subtitles

Right. You'll get used to it.

Now, let's start at the very beginning.

Huh.

How to begin?

In hindsight, it all boils down to a basic human need.

The need to belong.

To be wanted.

In some cases, if we're lucky, we find that place where the need to belong is

met early on.

And we feel valued.

Loved.

But sometimes life takes a different turn, and we find ourselves quite alone,

and that can leave room for terrible things to happen.

What do you think?

Pretty sweet job for a cunt.

Unbelievable.

Well, believe it.

Mr. DeSoto said we can live here as long as I remain with the company.

We better not get fired, then.

Oh, hey.

Where are your new neighbors?

I'm Brian Sutton, and this is my wife, Kara.

Ah, guess I'm Mr.

DeSoto. Yes, ma 'am.

I'm overseeing his new project, the Seacliff Bay Resort and Spa.

I see.

I'm Mrs.

Chiriasi.

Okay.

Nice to meet you.

Come on, let me show you the rest of the house.

Wow.

What are you doing?

You'll see.

There's a lot to see down here.

Oh, darling, I seem to have dropped my scarf.

I'm a lady.

Welcome to your castle.

Ah, thank you.

So, this is our new living room.

You mean our parlor.

Mr. Dussault must have had his chef stock the refrigerator and the freezer.

With what? How does he know what we like?

Well, someone did their homework.

Here's your favorite ice cream.

Burnt Swiss Almond.

Okay, that's a little weird.

Eccentric, Kara.

When you're a multimillionaire, they call it eccentric.

Well, it's really nice that he appreciates us moving all the way out

Listen, I know it's a lot for you to come back here after all these years.

Never mind, uprooting ourselves from our condo in Chicago to a California

mansion with oceanfront property and beautiful sunsets?

I mean, will the sacrifices ever end?

All right, you're right. Plus, you can get back into your scuba.

Ooh, that would be nice.

Let's see the rest.

Okay.

When are we going to get to see the master bedroom?

It's upstairs.

Is that a servant theory?

I think it is. Uh -oh.

Well,

one thing's for sure.

We're not going to need a treadmill.

Yeah. We'll burn off breakfast hanging from one side of the house to the other.

Wow.

It just keeps going.

Anything for you, my queen.

And here we are, my lady.

The grand boudoir.

Ah, well, thank you.

A little housewarming bubbly from you -know -who.

Welcome to your new home. What's mine is yours.

John DeSalle.

It's nice, right? Yeah.

To our new life in the lap of luxury.

I'll drink to that.

Okay.

Luxury.

Not until we finish the tour.

Okay.

Let's get a move on. Okay.

All right.

This is where I thought we'd set up your office.

Oh, perfect. I love a separate entrance.

I figured we wouldn't want your patients wandering through the house.

Agreed.

Did you get a bite yet?

A few. A colleague tweeted that a famous therapist was coming to town.

And they bought that?

Well, you know how people are. Fancy degree.

I published a book.

A bestseller.

Let's see this yard I've heard so much about.

Ah.

It's gorgeous.

You know, I know I was young, but I really remember playing on this beach.

No wonder my mother loved it here.

And why your father never left.

I guess, but please, let's not talk about him.

Thanks for making the move.

You know what?

Feels right.

Kind of like a homecoming.

What, welcome home?

I am definitely gonna need more clothes.

You remember packing this many boxes?

I feel like a devil in transit.

So when do you have to start working?

Well, opening day of the hotel is in three weeks.

Mr. DeSoto will fly in before that.

So you're already working full time?

Yep. I'm going to go in a little later.

You should have asked for a week off for the move.

I'm sure somebody could have covered.

You don't ask John DeSoto to find someone to cover for you. I mean, he's

me in charge.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Hey, don't rock the gravy boat.

Okay, now you are starting to sound weird and eccentric.

What about your father?

What about him?

Well, look, I'm not the therapist in the family, but isn't it kind of pointless

to pretend he doesn't exist?

I mean, he lives in this town. Your mother met him here. You were conceived

here.

Yeah, I know.

So, don't you think you should bury the hatchet?

I mean, isn't that what you tell one of your patients?

I think you should call him.

Hey, Brian.

Do you still have that gun?

What?

Because I thought we decided to get rid of it when we left Chicago.

Uh, I think you decided.

So you're just going to keep it tucked away in the nightstand? Look, Kara,

-ins happen at Seacrest Bay, too, okay? You can never be too protected.

Fine. I won't ask you about the gun, and you won't ask me about Frank.

Okay.

Deal.

Okay.

I'm gonna go in.

How do we cope when we find out everything we've ever believed is wrong?

change in an instant.

We see life through the confines of our constructed reality.

And we believe that which fits in this reality.

In truth, the whole of it rarely fits.

And this is where life gets messy.

I'll take you in the library.

Got your email. Glad to hear my house met with your wife's approval.

And I know how very important a little detail like that can be.

Thank you, John.

Look, I wouldn't admit this to the world, but my interests there are not

about profit.

I grew up in Seacliff. It means a lot to me.

I understand.

My wife has the same nostalgia for it from when she lived here as a kid. It's

special place. It is. Now, of course I want this project to be a success.

But even if occupancy is less than our expectations, I assure you, I'm not

to bail.

This is a labor of love.

I respect that, sir.

That's why I'm making sure that you're comfortable.

We're both very comfortable.

I mean, the house is magnificent.

And Kara already has clients on her schedule.

Well, you tell her I can send some folks her way.

I can send a couple of my ex -wives.

They definitely need therapy.

I don't think that's necessary.

While she's building her practice, she plans on writing another book.

Great. Now, I'm planning to be there next week. I can't wait to see how it's

come together.

Well, I think you'll be very pleased.

I know I will be.

A bientot.

Bye -bye.

So, Antonio, do you spend time with Rena?

We've been married a whole month now.

I'm with her, like, all the time.

Yeah, but even when you're there, you're not, you know, there.

What are you talking about?

I mean, you see, it's like she's obsessing on me, you know?

Yes, because you don't love me.

See what I mean?

Okay, you need to slow down, both of you.

And remember why you got married.

Marriage is about change.

Adapting your life to include someone new.

What is it you both enjoy doing together?

Okay.

Besides that.

Why don't you take some time and talk that over?

But consider this.

You'll both have to change, sometimes even sacrifice, just to show that you

value one another.

All right? Without that kind of commitment, a relationship can't work.

Okay? Okay.

Thanks. Okay.

We'll see you next week?

Sure.

Frank.

Dad.

Okay, let's not have that conversation, please.

Oh, thanks.

Wow.

Yeah, the people down in town are telling me that my famous daughter moved

here, and I thought I'd drop by.

But, I mean, if you're busy, I don't want to... Yep, busy, busy, busy, just

you always were.

It's not really our style, is it, to take time to check up on each other?

You know, I read that book you wrote. I mean, it does seem familiar.

Well, you were the perfect source for the chapters on family dysfunction.

What do you want?

Money? Money? No, I don't want money. I never borrowed any money from anybody.

You know, I provided for you and your mother.

What you provided was instability.

Well, I think it's a little more complicated than that. No, it wasn't. It

simple. We needed you there, and you weren't. It's all Mom ever wanted. Thank

God she took me to Chicago to grow up there.

Yeah, that's what she wanted.

You left us long before you walked out. You shacked up with that, uh...

Flight attendant.

Candace.

Whatever.

Well, you know, I mean, it doesn't matter now. That's all in the past.

What do you want?

I just want to see you.

Well, now you've seen me.

Okay.

Here's my number. I wrote it down. Well, it's not my number. It's the number of

the buddy that I've been staying with. You know, I've been...

I've been moving around from place to place for a while.

Now, get out of your hair.

Oh.

How'd it go?

Well, two new clients, so not too bad.

I was talking about your father.

I saw him leave.

Well, I didn't kill him.

Well, that's a good thing.

Are you going to see him again?

I don't know.

Hey.

Hey, whoa, is this just a play to get off the subject?

Oh, shit, I can take a pee.

Human nature is a lot like nature itself.

We hold on to the illusion that life is in control.

When just beneath the surface, a storm, our nature, is brewing.

And the more we try to control it, the more the pressure builds, and the force

becomes dangerous.

So, Martin, I usually see couples, but since you were referred by a friend in

your case... I'm not a couple anymore.

She left me.

I can see that. And you're having some trouble adjusting.

I don't want to adjust.

We were together ten years.

Married five.

I tried to be a good husband.

A good provider.

Maybe it was my fault.

One day, one day she just said, I'm not

attracted to you anymore.

Well, Martin, I can understand if you feel like you did something wrong or if

you feel inadequate in some way, but assigning blame just isn't productive.

It's certainly not going to change the way you feel or the way that she feels.

Sometimes people just drift apart or move toward different goals.

Or sometimes they just give up on you.

Oh.

I'm sorry. I'll mute that. No need.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks for the wake -up call, Doc.

I... All right.

Hello?

Yes, that's my father.

Stroke.

Your father

has suffered partial paralysis on his right side, and he's having some trouble

speaking right now, but with speech and physical therapy, he should recover most

of his function rather quickly.

Strange. According to his medical record, there's no history of any pre

-existing condition or other risk factors.

I do see that his health insurance has a long -term care provision.

That means he can have a home care nurse with him full -time, and the hospital

will schedule on -site physical therapy sessions as well.

Will you be taking him home?

He has no home to go to.

It's your call, Kara.

He's a stranger.

I don't even know him.

Maybe he was trying to make it right.

Yeah, but you know he didn't apologize for anything, make any excuses.

He did nothing.

I'm sorry to startle you in your own backyard.

I tried the front door, but nobody was answering.

My wife's inside. She must not have heard the bell.

Did I help you?

I'm Lynette. The home care staffing agency sent me. Oh, I'm Brian.

My father -in -law, Frank, he's the patient.

Yes, I read the file.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get here.

You know, insurance, paperwork, it can be killer.

No worries.

Listen. I gotta get ready for work, but, uh, let me take you inside.

Okay.

Can I help you?

Oh, I got this.

Thank you.

Is everything okay?

My dog got loose.

You should go find it, then.

Right this way.

It's an easy job.

There. Is that better?

I see your mother in you.

You have all the qualities that I loved about your mother.

Then why did you leave her?

Good news.

The nurse is here.

Oh, perfect.

Kara? Lynette?

Lynette? Frank?

Hi.

Listen, I have a busy day at work with my boss coming in.

But I'll try to be home where I can.

Okay.

Frank? You be good now.

Yeah.

You have a lovely home.

Oh, thank you.

Listen, I made up the maid's room.

It's smaller, but it's just down the hall, so I thought that could be

convenient. Oh, I'm sure it's fine.

Okay. May I?

Oh, please, by all means. Great.

Now, I stopped by the hospital pharmacy to pick up your father's meds.

He's going to continue to take the Agronauts daily.

Is that the blood thinner?

It's to help prevent possible reoccurrence of a stroke.

The doctor also prescribed him a heart medication.

And three times a week, a physical therapist will be by to actually

the muscles that were weakened by the stroke.

Now, I'm off on Sundays, but I'll be available all the time.

Wow. We're going to do everything we can for him.

Have you been doing this a long time?

When I graduated from nursing school, I joined the agency.

Private duty doesn't come along very often, but it works for me.

And you don't mind the hours?

Everything worthwhile takes time.

You can go back to work if you like.

Oh, and if you don't mind, if I can use the kitchen, I'll make sure that your

father's properly fed as well.

Really? Well, the hospital nutritionist did give me instructions, but I like to

think I can do slightly better than hospital food.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Um, the insurance.

You don't need to worry about a thing.

Okay, well then, I'm going to leave you to it.

Oh, please let me know if you need anything.

I will.

See you later.

Bye -bye, sweetie.

So, you're my nurse?

Your guardian angel.

Oh, wait, you're not going to stick me in the butt with that, are you?

Tempting, but no, your arm.

But my right arm, because it's... I know, I know, because it's numb.

Relax.

And, all done.

Well, that didn't hurt at all.

Maybe now I can get some exercise.

Oh, you're not going anywhere.

You need to relax.

There you go.

Now you need to listen to me.

Lay back.

And I'm here now so I can take care of you.

Oh, you're the boss, Applesauce.

John! Hi, welcome.

How was your flight? It was fine.

This place looks terrific.

Thank you. How is your father -in -law doing?

He's doing much better, thank you.

But it's a big adjustment.

And how's your wife holding up?

As well as to be expected.

You know, they weren't very close when all this happened. I gathered.

Brian, I have a small confession to make.

You see, I actually know Frank.

What? Years ago, he used to do handyman work for my father, Seacliff, and I run

into him from time to time when I'm here.

So, you know my wife's father, but you never mentioned it? I mean, we're not

close friends. We're barely new acquaintances.

And had you made this connection when you hired me?

Well, about a year ago, Frank had mentioned that his daughter had married

hotel exec in Chicago.

And since I'm a hotel man, I was curious and did a little checking into you.

You have very impressive credentials.

And since I was looking for someone to relocate in Seacliff, and your wife has

roots here, I thought it would be a perfect match.

Wow, and here I thought I got this job on my own merit.

You did.

You absolutely did.

But I wouldn't have known about you unless Frank had told me.

So what you're saying is that I owe Frank.

No, of course not.

But what a turn of events.

I mean, you and Kara moving to Seacliff, the precise moment that Frank needs

you.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, I just wanted to get that out in the open.

Now, if you need any help with Frank's couple lessons, you let me know.

Well, thank you.

Now, let's go look at this big, new, beautiful hotel.

Where do we start? Upstairs.

Let's do it.

No one understands.

Not like you, Tom.

Martin, we don't have an appointment today.

There are procedures that we need to follow.

If you want, we can schedule... You want to get rid of me, is that it?

Of course not.

You have to talk to me.

I feel comfortable telling you.

I want to know why she left.

Tell me what I have to do to get her back.

Well, Martin, I can't tell you that. Maybe if your wife came in, we could

I don't want to talk!

I wanted to love a man.

I'm sorry to interrupt. I was just on my way to the kitchen when I heard raised

voices. No, please don't apologize. I should be thanking you.

He's a referred client, but he's a bit unstable.

I didn't know you were a therapist.

Yeah, and you're a hypnotist.

How did you scare him?

Well, I just disrupted his self -importance and rejected his

Tricks you learn when you're a caregiver.

Some patients can be quite challenging.

You mind if I sit?

No, please, by all means.

It's actually nice to talk to somebody with solutions instead of problems once

in a while.

I'm sure you have your own set of tricks.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder.

I sit here recognizing symptoms and offering advice, and I really can't seem

figure out my own life.

Why do you feel that way?

Well, you're surrounded by people that love you. Your husband, your father.

Well, Frank hasn't exactly been a model of a loving father.

What do you mean?

That's a really long story.

Well, you took him into your home. He's part of your life.

I don't understand.

Well, you'd have to see the whole picture.

Like the ocean.

You know, when you look at things on the surface, they seem serene, calm, blue.

But when you dive deeper, things get a little bit darker.

Down where the predators swim.

Yeah, that's why most people feel it's safer to just stay on the surface.

Safer.

That's where the predators feed.

Huh.

True.

All right, well, maybe I will try and get some work done.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Right. That was really good.

Yeah. I didn't know cooking was part of your job description.

Well, I had to pick something for your father -in -law. He was hungry.

Oh, I was hungry.

Like a wolf.

Kara was working, so I just thought I'd make you a plate.

It's delicious.

And the chicken's good, too.

Lynette, you better be careful.

We could get used to this.

So, we're stuck in traffic the whole time, right? I'm trying to get out to

Soldier Field. I finally get there. We get our tickets, we go to sit down,

having a nice time, and all of a sudden, this dude comes over and spills beer

all over me.

All right.

We're in the middle of Soldier Field.

Halftime. And we're freezing our butts off, and I'm trying to slip the ring

her finger, but I'm shivering like this.

Hey.

Kara, hey.

Are you finished working? Can I make you a plate?

No, that's all right.

I just wanted to see what all the fun was about. Hey, baby.

You gotta try this chicken.

It's to die for.

Man, the vintage of this wine is excellent.

Are you giving him alcohol?

Oh, it's fine with dinner. He doesn't have any meds until in the morning.

Oh, he's a recovering alcoholic.

It's just one glass.

Besides, it improves cardiovascular health and it helps reduce the risk of

coronary heart disease.

Yeah, that's my nurse.

Over my dead body.

Listen, Frank, I think you should get some rest.

I'm not tired.

Come on, pal. Listen to Brian, Frank.

Okay.

Look, I am so, so sorry. I mean, there was nothing about an alcohol problem

anywhere in his chart.

Well, now you know.

Don't mind if I use the pool.

This is so warm out tonight, I needed to feel something cool on my skin.

No, it's fine. We don't use it nearly enough.

Well, that's a shame.

I'm really sorry that I lost my temper earlier.

Oh, no.

It's my fault.

I should have called you to dinner.

I just thought you were working on your book.

Well, I was trying.

Did I tell you about my book?

Oh, no. I just read the first one, so... Follow -up sounded like a great idea.

Oh. Anyway, I want you to know that I'm really grateful for all of your help.

My schedule's just been so busy.

I understand.

Clients, strangers in your home can be really tense.

And tension, like poison in the body.

Yeah.

How's that feel?

Um...

Good, actually.

You know, I always wanted to be a nurse.

To help people feel better.

To help them get past their hurt.

It's funny.

I got into my career for the same reason.

I wanted to help people with their emotional trauma.

So you could help yourself?

Yeah.

And then I realized it doesn't always work that way.

The more I would delve into people's lives,

Try to get them to focus on the good instead of the bad.

The more I realize I've done things from your past, it just can't be undone.

What would you want to undo?

Moments.

Times where I could have said or done something.

I left so many questions unasked that when I look back, I don't

really know what happened.

Sometimes I think the easiest answer is the right one.

Chance.

I think we like to ask why.

I think you analyze behavior and try to make sense of it.

Sometimes people just do things.

Sorry.

I better get to bed.

Physical therapy starts tomorrow and I have to have your dad ready.

Good morning.

Hi. You're looking better.

I feel better. My right arm is getting stronger.

Now, heal too quick and you'll put me out of a job.

Oh, I wouldn't want to do that.

Time for your meds.

Here you go.

I'll get you some water.

Thank you. I'll be back to check on you later.

Okay.

Okay, um, open the press room and make sure that each press kit is laid out on

every chair.

I'll be in in about an hour.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

You know, you're okay to have dinner with your boss.

I think we pretty much got things covered here.

It's okay.

I don't think John minds it that I make time for you.

Well, I'm starting to like this Mr. DeZoe.

You know, now that we're on the subject, I want to tell you something that John

told me yesterday.

Okay, well, this sounds ominous.

Turns out he's known Frank for years.

Wait. What?

I know. It was news to me, too.

Not well, apparently, but he knew about our marriage and that I was a hotel guy,

and that's how I got the interview for the job.

You're joking, right?

Hey, there.

Hey.

Can we help you? I'm Gregory.

I'm here for Frank's physical therapy.

Oh, yeah. He's inside.

I'll introduce you.

Come on down.

We're going to need to finish this conversation.

Fine, but I've got to get to work, and you need to introduce Gregory to your

father.

Hi.

Hi there.

I'm Brian.

This is my wife, Kara.

She's going to take you in. I've got to get to work. I'll see you later,

sweetie. You might have your hands full with this one, but I will introduce you

anyway. Come on, follow me.

That's great. A motivated patient.

This is Gregory.

How you doing? Good morning, Frank.

Morning. We're going to do some muscle toning exercises today. Get your beach

bod back again.

My beach bod? In that case, you better make up the room next to Lynette. It's

going to take more than a day.

Lynette? She's the home trainer.

Oh, I thought Ling Lu got assigned.

Ling took a position in Sonoma, so I stepped in.

Oh. I'm from the San Francisco office.

I hadn't heard.

Well, I have an appointment, so I will see you guys later.

We'll get started, too.

Feel like some pool time?

Sure.

That sounds fun.

Okay, we're going to start with some simple leg exercises.

There it is.

No swimming laps yet.

Have you been exercising on your own?

Yeah, I try, you know, but Lynette, she...

She keeps me on a short leash.

A leash, huh?

Yeah.

Whoa. Looks like you have some bruising here.

Oh.

I don't know. I must have banged into the toilet or something. I don't know.

I ain't being clumsy.

Well, at least you're not alone.

No, I'm not.

My daughter took me in, thank God.

And she would have been right to turn me out.

You know, she has become quite the lady. No thanks to me.

Well, let's be sure to work on those arm muscles in case, you know, at some

point you want to give her a hug.

That would be nice.

Okay. Well, that's pretty good for your first day.

Thanks. You want to head back inside?

No, I'm going to sit here until I get all pruney.

Then Lynette will have to get me out later.

All right. Suit yourself.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey. Are you all done?

Yeah. He's doing well.

I'll be back day after tomorrow.

Great. Thanks.

He seems upbeat.

He is. And it's great that it's you to look after him. Family is the best

medicine for recovery.

Well, we're not exactly close.

Really? That's odd.

Why? He just spent the majority of our session telling me how proud he was of

you.

Listen, if you ever have any questions about anything,

concerns at all. You just call the agency.

Okay?

Okay. Thank you. Very nice of you.

I'll see you later.

See you, buddy.

So long.

Thanks.

Good session?

Yeah.

Probably use a little bit more walking.

Well, I just wanted to ease him in. He can be a stubborn old man.

Well, he seems to like you.

And you don't?

I guess I'm immune to your charm.

Of course.

You're good looking to be straight.

Be sure to clean up after your dog.

Frank?

Dad.

Okay.

Um, I think we should spend some time and talk some things through.

Oh, I'd like that.

I don't want to be angry anymore.

Well, I'm sorry I ever did anything to make you angry.

I understand you know John Dassault.

I don't know him. He's just a guy I see at AA meetings sometimes.

Oh.

Okay. All right.

That's enough for one day. You still need to get your rest.

A little longer?

No, come on.

We're not out of the woods yet.

We don't want a reoccurrence.

Better listen to your nurse.

All right, let's go.

Well, you know he broke the rules.

He's supposed to be anonymous.

No wonder John was so reluctant to tell us.

Yeah, he just didn't want to admit how he knew Frank.

I feel better knowing the whole truth.

Complains a lot.

Just go to bed.

I love you.

Your paralysis has taken a turn.

But the new meds I'm giving you make everything better.

Can you feel this?

No.

Oh.

Does

that

hurt?

How about that?

Water. Dry mouth?

Thank you.

What happened last night?

What do you think happened last night?

I gave you a sedative for your discomfort.

It had a slight hallucinogenic effect on you. Next time I'll lower the dose.

That should help.

There you go.

Just relax.

You're doing great. Good.

There you go.

What are you doing?

You should mind your own business.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

So are you going to be home for dinner?

Baby, we have dinner with John tonight.

Right. Okay, I'll be ready. I promise.

Okay.

Have a good day. Thanks. You too. Love you. I love you too.

You have a very strange woman in this house.

Mrs. Curiazzi, right? I will tell you what I have seen.

I have to go because I'm going to be late for work.

Go. But remember... I warned you.

I can tell he's attracted to other women.

He's obsessed with football.

My team moves, especially with the new pitch.

You go to all the home cases just to drink and hang out with your buddies.

I can tell, you know.

You don't know what you're talking about, okay? Just because I go hang out

my friends, I don't need to get away.

If you ever have any questions or concerns at all, you call the agency.

I should have known Frank wouldn't honor the confidentiality of AA meetings.

Oh, don't worry about it. Your secret's safe with us.

Ah, I finally get to meet your better half.

I'm John DeSoto.

Kara. I know who you are. Your father turned me on to your book.

So I hear, which I find a little hard to believe, but I am learning new things

about him every day.

You can say what you want, but I can tell you, he adores you. He never stops

talking about you.

Hold on. My future ex just walked out of the house.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

No problem.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Oh, of course.

Excuse us.

Who is that?

Uh, that's the home care nurse that's taking care of Frank.

You lucky dog.

Where's Frank? I wanted Brian's boss to meet him before we left. Yeah, that's

the problem. You know, your father really overdid the exercise and he's

exhausted. I just don't think we should wake him.

Oh. Okay, all right.

And I'm sorry I'm not wearing my uniform. It got dirty. I had to clean

I know it's unprofessional.

Oh, please, don't be silly.

And I'm sure they don't mind either.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you.

Ladies, we have dinner reservations.

Oh, you guys have fun.

Don't worry about anything. I'll take care of your father.

Oh, but I thought you would join us as well.

That's not possible.

I have a patient to tend to.

But thank you for the invitation.

Well, that's admirable, but I won't take... No for an answer.

I'll have the restaurant deliver.

So, Kara, Brian says that you're an avid scuba diver. Plenty of great dives

around here. Hey, why don't we all go out on my yacht sometime and I'll show

the best spots?

Well, I used to dive. A little, but that was a lifetime ago.

I mostly grew up in Chicago.

Kind of hard to dive in Lake Michigan.

It's always like that, isn't it? You take for granted when you've got it, but

you don't realize how much you miss it.

Until it's gone.

What about you, Lynette?

Where are you from?

Here and there.

I moved around a bit.

Your family?

My mother passed away.

Father?

Out of the picture.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I find that by being an in -home care nurse, I gain an instant family.

Well, you've done very well for yourself.

I'm going to go check on your father.

Thank you for a wonderful dinner. It was lovely.

Was it something I said?

Was I too nosy?

No, no, of course not.

Who would like some coffee?

If you have my favorite Arabic blend.

Well, seeing as how you stopped our kitchen, I would say that that is a fair

bet. I'll tell you what.

I'll go get the coffee.

Maybe Lynette would like a cup.

Well, I'll go ask her.

Helen, how's your father doing?

He seems to be improving.

Has the best of care.

You like Lynette.

Ooh.

Direct and to the point.

Why do I feel that every Yes Man therapist has been a total waste of time

money?

I'm impressed by you.

Well, I try.

And your analysis?

You like shiny new things.

A new hotel, a dazzling new investment.

But... Go on.

Well, you also like to be in control.

So a hotel, things like that, they don't change.

So you keep them.

Women are always changing, aren't they?

So you move on.

Wow.

Boy.

Do I appreciate someone who just comes out and says, what a fool I've been?

When it comes to relationships, we all do foolish things.

Like letting someone who look like that move in with you and your husband?

Well, gee, when you put it like that... No, I'm just kidding, Brian.

He's probably the most straight -laced person I know. That's why I can depend

him.

That's your amoeba.

What about your analysis of Lynette?

I don't know if I have her figured out quite yet.

She's sweet.

But there's a sadness to her.

And there's something... She's a mystery.

And maybe she's the side.

Thank you, Brian, so much for a lovely evening.

And I'm so sorry I didn't get to see Frank.

But will you say goodnight to the Netflix?

I will. All right. I will see you tomorrow at the hotel at 8 a .m. Thank

boss. Thank you. Perfect.

Goodnight. Bye -bye.

Mr. Giselle.

John, please.

What?

Thank you, but... No, I don't drink anymore.

Oh, come on. One glass won't hurt.

Besides, it improves cardiovascular health and it reduces the risk of

heart disease.

Well, when you put it that way.

Listen, I'm sorry about earlier if I was rude.

It's just been a really long time since somebody's actually paid me attention.

That's hard for me to believe.

I'd like to get to know you better.

If you wouldn't be opposed to that idea.

I don't know.

I think you already know too much.

May I take you to the grand opening gala at my hotel this weekend?

You must get some time off.

We wander through life searching for truth, love, a way to belong.

In some cases, we can lose our balance and fall off the edge.

And all of those fragile wounds and hope come crashing down, and we are broken.

need to talk to you doctor martin you can't be here like this i can't help you

i'm not you have to help me i followed my wife

I saw them make love.

Like she could just toss me aside.

She was wrong.

She looked

at me like I was nothing.

What did you do?

I gave her some therapy.

Don't scream.

Are you alright? Are you alright?

Thank you very much.

Get home safe.

Hey. Hey.

Did they still need me?

No, no, no. They got your statement.

Did they find his wife?

She was dead.

The man she was with lost a lot of blood, but he survived.

So she was the only one that was killed?

No.

Please.

trying to collect witness statements, and then went to the house down the

The dog was barking, and... Yeah?

Apparently, Martin went to Mrs.

Curiosi's house before he was here.

Cut her. Run.

No.

No, it doesn't... It doesn't make any sense.

Why are... Would she do?

It could have been you.

I'm

not

going in tomorrow.

No, go on.

I'm okay. He took him away.

I'll call you if I need to.

You're awake.

What was going on?

Why are you crying?

I'm so sorry that I shut you out for all these years.

It's not your fault, sweetie.

You were little.

Things happened.

Your mother, I mean, she had stopped loving me, and I wanted to feel loved.

I was having an affair.

She had stopped loving me, and I ended it.

But... She wanted you out.

She wanted me out. I wanted to fix our marriage.

And she didn't.

And this woman?

I promised your mother that I'd never see Candace again.

I've always upheld that promise.

Always.

I would have never left you.

Never.

And she refused to let me see you.

She what?

Kara, she took you away from me.

And she cut off all contact.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for all this pain that I've caused you.

When your mother... Took you off to Chicago and ripped you away from me. I

alone.

And I thought my life was over.

And it's not.

Yes.

We tell ourselves, if I only knew the truth.

But does it matter?

Can the truth undo the past?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Frank.

How's it going, buddy?

Gregory. Where's Lynette?

Oh, I don't know.

Listen.

Do you know what she's been giving you?

The pills, the shots.

Why? We received notification at the agency that the hospital pharmacy is

missing an antibiotic.

Rifampicin.

It... blocks the effectiveness of any heart medication.

If she's giving it to you, she could be setting you up for another stroke or a

heart attack.

Gregory! Greg!

They're also missing sex in the car.

You! Take some rest!

There you go.

I had an accident last night.

He crashed on his way down the ridge.

He's dead.

I'm sorry.

You can call me. I need to talk to you right away. It's important.

I'm going to text you.

It's okay, Brian.

Carrie doesn't have to know.

What are you talking about?

Look, I know how hard it must be to be with a woman who only thinks about

herself first.

Her wants, her needs.

You're a very giving man, but you deserve somebody who appreciates you.

A woman who can only give you anything you want.

Lynette.

I don't want you.

Don't be shy.

I know you've thought about it. About me.

I deserve this.

Deserve? You think you deserve this? Kara doesn't want it. It's all a burden

her. And when she's gone, we can be a family.

Get away from him.

Kara.

We're enough, Kara.

Enough with the lies.

I checked with your agency.

They didn't send you here. They don't even know who you are.

The nurse they assigned here?

is wing lu and she's been missing for a week fine you should know the truth

I came here to be my father's nurse.

I know more about taking care of people than any nurse.

Wait a minute.

Did you kill John too?

Take care of him.

He needs me.

No one here needs you.

is happy in my mother's arms.

And you and your mother, you destroyed that.

You took everything from me.

Oh, my God.

You are my little Tessa?

That's right, Dad.

I'm your little Tessa.

The half -sister you never knew.

Is this true?

Yes, it's true.

It's the affair that I had with her mother, Candace.

Tessa.

Tessa, I wanted to be a father to you. You and your mother.

You made him abandon us.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to be your father, Tessa.

You could have been a father to me.

Please, forgive me.

Tessa. You should have been a father.

I would have been her father to you.

But I promised Kara's mother that I'd end the affair, and then when she ran

with Kara, I came looking for you and your mother, and you two had

Tessa, sometimes everything doesn't work out the way we want it to, like me

having a stroke.

You think your stroke was an accident?

What?

I just waited for you to get drunk, which is never a long wait.

Then I followed you to the surf bar, and I spiked your drink while you were

taking a leak.

He never even saw me.

Worked just as I planned.

The only thing that left a chance was if Kara was going to take you in or not.

I figured she was a pushover, and I was right.

The rest was easy.

You needed a nurse, and I made myself available.

And now... I want to take care of you the same way you took care of me.

things that touch us during this lifetime.

Loss is the most lasting.

Loss of youth, loss of self.

These are the things it's almost impossible to reclaim.

If we can move beyond the pain of our past and see a greater truth, then we

forgive and we can begin to restore that which has been lost to us.

You've certainly struck a nerve in me and I'm sure in many of our viewers as

well. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

It was my pleasure.

The new book, Life in Crisis, A Case Study, by our guest, Dr. Kara Sutton.

Thanks for joining us.

And cut.

That's a wrap, people.

Dr.

Sutton. Oh, Kara, please. Kara, I really enjoyed the book. Well done. Thank you.

Hey. Hi.

Great job.

Thanks.

Sounded very familiar.

Especially that part on redemption.

Should we get some lunch? Yeah. Right on. Okay.
