father stood up for the people of Fulton
County, so will I. And I promise you, I

will bring honor and integrity back to
the office of District Attorney.

Trust me, you will be seeing a lot more
of Tia Giles.

Excuse me, Ms. Giles, but are you sure
you're ready to make such a huge

commitment?

And would you be willing to make a
similar commitment to your number one

supporter?

Lance Kingston, Epiphany Magazine.

I know you're not answering any
questions, but I do have one.

Lance, what are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing? I'm asking
you for the third time to marry me and

hoping like hell you don't humiliate me
in front of all these people by saying

no again.

You just don't give up, do you?

No, not on you.

It's your job.

Will you marry me?

Please?

What the hell? Okay.

We have a... What the hell, ladies and
gentlemen?

We're getting married.

What did you think about Lance's
proposal?

It was cute, huh?

Yes, it was cute, Tia.

I was just surprised I didn't even know
you were thinking about marrying Lance.

Well, he did ask me to marry him three
times, Mom.

I probably should have said yes the
first time.

You told him you weren't ready.

Besides, sweetheart, that was your
moment. And he used it to railroad you

marriage proposal.

Mom, I'm glad that he railroaded me,
okay? The more time that I have to think

about it, the more excuses I come up
with.

Not excuses, dear.

Reasons. Yes, reasons, reasons. The same
reasons why I broke up with every other

man I've ever dated.

See, honey, think about your career and
your health.

You know, the election is next year.

What about all the stress it will bring
trying to plan a wedding, an election

campaign?

It's going to be too much, honey.

What about my life, Mom?

When do I get to start thinking about
that?

Okay.

Listen, honey.

Mom, mom, listen.

I may lose the election, but I'm not
going to lose Lance.

I'm not.

I can't believe you bought a different
ring every time you proposed.

That's a little weird.

I know, right?

Hopefully those other two can be sold on
eBay.

It's my fault.

You know, I am curious, though, I must
say.

What made you say yes this time?

I mean, not that I'm complaining or
anything.

Well, there are times of charm, right?

And I didn't really get a chance to
think of a reason to say no, so I just

followed my heart.

Hmm.

So the sneak attack slash ambush did the
trick? Yes, pretty much. Did the trick.

You know, it's been a while since I
stayed over.

Not tonight, okay? My bedroom's a mess.

Okay. Are you sure that's the real
reason?

Look, I just don't like to have sex all
the time, okay?

I mean, I just want it to be special.

Not like right now when I'm tired.

Yeah, I mean, hey, it's cool. I get it.

I mean, it's not like we don't have the
rest of our lives, right?

Exactly.

You know, you could sound a little happy
about your little brother getting

hitched. But after all, I am going to
need you to be my best man.

Oh, really?

I am happy for you.

I'm wondering why it took three
proposals to get the girl to say yes.

You know, Tia, she's unpredictable,
which is actually one of the things I

about her. She keeps me on my toes.

And I just needed to time it right
and... Trick her?

No, get her to follow her heart and not
her mind.

Don't get me wrong, Lance.

I love me Cynthia, I do.

But you know, sometimes she can be a
little off.

Well, it is coming up on a year since
her grandfather died, and I'm sure

been on her mind lately.

We both know how that is. Yeah, we do.

Can you believe it is almost 15 years
since mom and dad died?

Yeah.

It still feels like yesterday.

Yeah.

So, what's all this about me being your
best man?

Oh, yes. So, you down?

Dude, I'm your sister who's been your
mama, your father, your prom date, your

business partner, and now I got to be
your best man, too?

Cool. I'll take that as yes.

Ah! Well, this is because I look good in
a tuxedo.

No.

No, I'm going to house the campaign
headquarters here in my offices.

There's plenty of room, and I don't want
to pay for another space for just a few

months.

Yes, yes, I'm going to do the grand
opening next Friday. No, no, next

Okay, and I need everyone to be here,
okay?

Yeah, okay, hold on.

Hello? Yeah, can you see if you can set
up the deposition for next Friday?

Wait.

No, okay, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, next Saturday.

What?

Okay, yes.

Oh, Thursday?

Wait, wait, wait. When are we doing
the... Hold on, okay?

Let me call you back.

Where on earth have you been? I went to
the pharmacy, the video store.

It was $5 DVDs. Look.

Cash.

Foxy Brown.

Black exploitation at its best.

Got some books, too. How many times do I
have to tell you to leave me a note,

text me, or something to let me know
where you're going?

Yes, ma 'am. I'm serious, Leo.

Look, sis, I know you are. I came back
in one piece, didn't I? Just like

Did you get all of them?

Yep.

Have he talked to you? He's not speaking
to me.

I hope he doesn't.

One of these days she'll have children
and she'll understand a mother's job is

to protect her child.

Oh, really?

And a sister's job is to nag the hell
out of her brother.

I brought barbecue chicken home for
dinner. You should eat before it's cold.

So, uh, when is the wedding?

Wedding?

There isn't going to be a wedding.

Kia was just caught up in one of her
impulses, and she will come to her

Well, just in case she doesn't come to
her senses, don't you think you should

try to track down Jameson?

Jameson? Well, I was just thinking that
a man probably would want to know when

his only daughter is getting married.

That man.

cared about his daughter, he would not
have tucked his tail and run off when

things got rough. So no, Leo, I will not
be tracking down Jameson because his

daughter is better off without him.

Okay.

No, today was just rough.

It was a lot.

Vacation. We'll take one. Vacation.
Soon.

Yes. Beach. Yes.

Jet skis?

Maybe. I don't know.

Compliments of District Attorney
Bernstein.

Enjoy. Thank you.

It looks like your opponent is trying to
make nice.

And here he comes.

Tia Giles and Lance Kingston, Atlanta's
power couple.

Just wanted to send you over a little
congratulatory gift.

Well, thank you. It's the least I can
do.

Might as well be nice now, because when
the campaign kicks off...

The gloves come off.

Oh, I'm shaking in my stilettos.

You know, I consider it an honor that
the governor appointed me to complete

grandfather's term.

I just want to carry on the good work
that I've started in his name and pray

people allow me to do so.

Do you know where my grandfather was
going when his car ran off the road,

He was on his way to court to prosecute
a man who you had defended.

A man accused of killing his wife and
his three children.

So you see, Paul, my grandfather spent
the last moments of his life fighting

justice and trying to rid society of the
scumbags who you have represented.

Your grandfather's death was a terrible
loss. Don't you speak about my

grandfather like that.

I know what you're trying to do, Paul.

I know.

Where'd you get this champagne from,
huh?

What's in it?

What's in the champagne, Paul?

Okay. Sorry. I know what you're trying
to do, and you will not destroy me the

way you destroyed my grandfather. That's
enough. Paul, thank you for the

champagne, but if you don't mind, just
try to calm down, okay?

How am I supposed to drink something
like this? How am I supposed to drink

How? I can't. Take it back.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. Sorry.

I didn't... Waiter.

I didn't mean to sit down.

Don't worry.

Sorry,

everybody. I didn't mean to. Go sit
down.

I bet

you're exhausted.

So much going on.

And don't let that Bernstein get to you,
okay?

Idiot.

Tia?

Hey, Tia.

Are you okay, honey?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You know I get when I'm tired.

It's just, um...

What? Let's get married.

Yeah, that's the idea.

I'm glad I thought about it first. No, I
mean like, like now.

Like this weekend, let's get married
now.

What?

We can sneak away, just the two of us.

No planning, no stress.

Just you and me.

Yeah, but what about your mom?

Your uncle.

I mean, what about Beverly?

Well, we can do a big wedding later,
after the election.

What is this about?

I mean, I know your mom's not crazy
about us getting married, so are you

this to try to keep her from... And once
we get married, she'll have no choice

but to accept it.

So, what do you say?

You want to run away and get hitched
with me this weekend?

Of course I do, yes. Yes? Yes!

Great. Okay, come on. I got a pad.

I got to get this.

All right.

I got

it.

Oh, my gosh.

My beautiful wife.

And my fine husband.

Oh, hey, wait. This, uh, I don't want to
have sex all the time.

Yes, but it is our honeymoon.

You know what?

What?

You're right.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We should, we
should, we should do this right. Like,

let's, let's put on some music.

Yeah, but I, I mean, like, who's
gonna... Wait, wait, okay.

Here, wait. Just give me a second.

One second. I'll be right back. Really?

Yeah, I'll be back.

For what?

What are you doing?

I don't get my blue belt.

That's a joke. I don't need a blue belt.
Look, I'm just brushing my teeth

because I had so much garlic for dinner.
Just stay there.

You look beautiful.

Okay, hurry up.

No, no, no, no. Come, come, come, come.
Please, please, just come out. No, no,

no, no. Please, leave me alone.

No, just leave me alone. Come out. Come
out. I'm sorry. Please, please.

Please, just come out.

Come out. Come out, please.

What's wrong? What is it?

Get him out.

Get him out. Get him out. Get him out.

Get him out. Get him out. Get him out.

Get him out.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Look at me. There's no one here.

There's no one here. Just relax, relax.

It's probably just a shadow or a
reflection or something, but it's okay.

It's all right.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Thank you. Thank you. I'll take that
one.

All right, I guess that's it.

Thank you.

If you want, we can get breakfast
downstairs before we head out. Oh, no, I

just... I'm ready to go home.

Can we just leave?

Sure, sure.

You know, you really scared me last
night.

And I wonder what it was you saw.

What are you talking about?

Last night, you were scared and
screaming like you thought someone was

hurt you.

Oh, I... I don't know.

I only asked because it was just... Kind
of freaked me out a little bit. I'm

just a little stressed out right now.
But don't worry, it won't happen again.

Do you think it was a good idea for her
to go back to work?

Well, that's what I said, but she
insisted.

I mean, that was so bizarre.

She was terrified, like someone was
attacking her.

And afterwards, she didn't remember any
of it.

She finally just said she was stressed
out.

Well, stress can do a lot of crazy
things to women.

Not to mention being menopausal.

She's in her 20s. She's not menopausal.

No, I think it's just the pressure from
the election and all that stuff about

her grandfather and trying to follow in
his footsteps.

I mean, maybe she had the right idea
about us waiting to do a big wedding.

Maybe so.

Even though I was disappointed about not
getting to be the best man.

Anyway, how is the redesign coming
along?

It's coming, but we will be ready to
launch and go live in two weeks.

Good.

Lance, do you think?

What?

Nothing, never mind.

What?

Do you think it could be drugs with Tia?

No way.

She's just stressed out.

Trust me, it'll be okay.

Yeah.

That's probably all it is.

Your grandfather's death. Your
grandfather's death is terrible. Your

grandfather's death is terrible.

Would it have been too much to pick up
the damn telephone, Tia, and tell me

first before you go running off to New
York and marry this man?

Sweetheart, what were you thinking?

I was thinking that I love Lance, Mom.

I was thinking that if I didn't marry
him, I might lose him. I was thinking

maybe for once in my life, I deserve
some happiness.

Okay.

Fine.

Lance makes you happy.

have a wonderful idea.

Why don't you and Lance come over for
dinner tonight and we can celebrate,

right? And then he can invite Beverly.

What do you say?

Really?

Thank you, Mom.

You're going to love Lance. He's a
really good guy. You just have to get to

him.

I'll work on it.

Are there photos?

You know there are. Can I see them? You
know, a fabulous. I know you are.

I'll go get them. Okay.

Leo, how many times do I have to tell
you to put that thermos away? And the

glass company is here.

Tia, sweetheart, you cannot blame me for
being faulty, for missing my only

daughter's wedding. Mom, I already told
you. It was not a wedding. We just

exchanged vows.

Well, I'm happy for you to last, Tia.

Yes.

But, sweetheart, please be careful.

I mean, I know he's your husband, and
he's great and all.

I'm sorry,

I'm talking to her.

No, she doesn't.

Excuse me. Hello. I'm in the room.

Hey.

Just wanted to check on you guys, see if
you need help with anything.

Tia?

Let's put the salad on the dining room
table. It's actually finished now.

Yeah.

Is there anything I can do?

family, brother.

This is lovely.

Yeah, the table is fantastic.

Thank you for having us over.

Well, perhaps we should pray.

You want to bless the table?

Yeah, sorry.

We probably should.

Well, Leo, you're so present this
evening. It's a good idea.

Father, Mother, God, we thank you for
this gathering, for the food that has

prepared for the nourishment of body.

For Christ's sake, amen.

Amen, amen.

Well, I hate to eat and run, everyone,
but I've got that big photo shoot in the

morning with Rihanna. So don't be late,
little brother.

Good night. Night, Tia.

Thank you for having me over. And this
has been really good.

Indeed. Jack, care for me. Yeah.

See you, dear.

Tia? I know what's going on.

And we need to deal with it before it
gets out of hand.

A lot of pills you got there, Leo.

Got a lot of ailment, lad.

Runs in the family.

What do you mean?

Damn it.

I forgot my water.

Be right back.

Where's your water?

Got to the kitchen. Remember, I already
took my mess for today.

My bad.

Have a good night, man.

Hey.

Yeah.

I'll be to bed in a little while. I've
got some articles to edit.

Okay.

You really think it's that serious?

Do you?

I don't know.

I mean, yes, she was a little strange at
dinner.

Stiff as a board when I hugged her
goodbye, but mentally ill? No, I can't

it. Then what did Leo mean when he said
runs in the family?

And why does he have all those pills for
psychosis and schizophrenia?

I mean, haven't you always wondered why
he still lives with Virginia and why

she's so protective over him and Tia?

Yeah, but Lance, you've been with Tia
for two years now.

And all that time you couldn't tell
something was strange, and then all of a

sudden... I know, but there are
triggers.

And if she was taking her meds,
everything would be normal.

But when she goes off her meds, there's
a stressful situation that happens in

her life. Like her grandfather's death.

And a campaign.

Or rushing into marriage.

I'm just spitballing here.

I mean, Tia is an attorney running a
campaign.

She's a strong, independent, smart
woman.

I mean, yeah, I always thought
girlfriend was a little bit crazy, but

up crazy.

Like white folk take pills, lay on the
couch crazy.

But just regular girl, you crazy, crazy.

I think she needs to see a therapist.

Well, good luck with that.

Because black chicks don't do
therapists.

Pastor, maybe.

Girlfriend, possibly.

Hairdresser, definitely.

But therapist, no.

Well, I got to do something, Bev.

I guess I just need to do some more
digging.

Well, dig all you want, little brother,
but a good journalist goes straight to

the source.

Talk to Tia.

She's your wife.

I mean, you guys should be able to have
this kind of discussion now.

You should have had this kind of
discussion before she became your wife,

better late than too late.

All right.

Thank you.

Oh, hey.

Hey. You never know how much stuff you
have until you move.

I went to see your mom today.

I wasn't, you know, trying to do it
behind your back or anything, but you

to admit you haven't really been
yourself lately.

So I wanted to know if maybe... If I was
insane?

I know. She told me.

Of course you didn't.

Well? Well, what? Am I crazy?

Well, it's just the other night when I
was talking to Leo. He had all this

medicine all over the place, and he said
something that I thought was a little

bit strange.

Something about some stuff running in
your family.

Nothing. All right.

Listen, I love you, okay?

I just want to make sure that if
anything is bothering you or if

wrong, that you do know you can tell me,
don't you?

Sure.

But nothing is wrong.

I'm good.

Look, I have to be at headquarters at 7,
so I'm going to get ready for bed.

You want to come?

Yeah.

I'll be right there.

Mom, Lance is going to leave me.

He's going to leave me. He's going to
leave me.

He knows.

He knows, and he's going to leave me,
just like Dad. He's going to leave me.

Tia, stop it.

Calm down.

How long ago did you stop taking the
meds?

I don't know.

Tia, think.

I don't know.

Okay.

That's okay.

You have some pills left over from the
time before, right?

Go get the other prescriptions from Dr.
Monroe tomorrow and take them.

Just for now.

Honey, you're just having a little
episode. You will snap back. You always

But, Mom, I hate the pills. I hate the
pills.

I can't work. I can't think. And I have
my campaign and my practice. Mom, Lance

is going to leave me.

I mean, I'm not that bad, right? I just
need some time. I just need time, right?

Yes, you just need some time and the
pills will help.

Just for now.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay, just for now.

Now be sure to keep them out of sight.

If Lance questions you again, tell him
anything.

Tell him it's hormones.

Men always believe that.

Tia? You okay, honey?

Um, yes.

I'm just taking a shower. I'll be right
out.

Okay, Mom.

I have to go. I'll take my meds and
everything will be fine. And Tia, don't

worry.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Okay?

Love you.

phone charger?

No, babe, I haven't seen it.

You mind if I use yours?

Oh, yes, over there by the bar.

I'll be happy when we get this house
organized.

Who's Dr. Monroe?

Oh, um...

Dr. Monroe is, she's my OBGYN.

Oh.

Yeah, I was going to wait to tell you
this until dinner, but

I'm pregnant.

Wait, you're what? Yes.

We're going to have a baby.

And that's why I've been acting all
nutty, you know?

What? Yeah.

You're pregnant?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

That makes so much sense.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry I put you through the third

degree. And I was talking to, you know,
Uncle Leo, and he was talking about the

meds. And I just freaked out. And I
don't know, the hotel scene.

You're going to have a baby.

Baby time.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh,

my gosh. I cannot tell you how.

Relieved and happy I am.

Well, I'm glad you're happy.

Well, your labs look great.

Tia, I can't tell you how happy it makes
me that you're resuming treatment.

How have you been doing?

Fine. Just fine.

Well, with a new husband and political
campaign, any disruption to your normal

routine might trigger a... Oh, no, no,
no.

Everything's fine, Dr. Monroe. I just...
Thought I'd come down and get the meds,

you know, just in case.

Tia, you have to stay on your meds at
all times.

They make me feel strange. I feel all
sluggish and tired and cannot run a

campaign like that. I need to be sharp
and on my toes. Now, I understand that,

but if you have an episode... Oh, no,
no, no, no, I won't. I won't. I'm not

bad. I'm not that bad. I have it under
control. Tia.

I just need the meds just to take the
edge off. Now, you know that's not how

this works. Yes, it does.

I'm not that sick.

Okay? I'm not like Leo.

I'm not like... other people.

I just have a lot going on right now.

You know?

I'm fine.

I got it.

I can't believe you didn't tell your
mother.

Well, it's fine.

She probably just forgot what her
pregnancy brain and all.

Mom, Uncle Leo, I did some redecorating,
and I'd love to show you what I did

with the bedroom.

We'll let you see that. Okay. Come with.

My glass, please, Doctor.

Atea, you're not really pregnant, are
you?

Mom, I'm not pregnant.

That's just what I told Lance so he
would stop asking me questions. You

What are you going to tell him when nine
months go by and there's no baby? Or

three months and there's no belly? I'll
tell him that I had a miscarriage and

convince him to adopt.

Or you could just always get pregnant
for real.

And what?

Have a baby like me?

Or you? Or granddad?

No, thank you.

I'll just tell him that I can't have any
more kids and maybe we should go

somewhere and... Lion!

Look, you married this man because you
were afraid of losing him. Then you kept

this secret because you were afraid he'd
run off like your daddy did when he

found out you were sick.

Now you're going to lie to him about his
baby?

You'll make this man run away for sure.

We'll ignore him.

Did you get your prescription?

Yes, but Mom, I don't need to take any
meds. Lance isn't going to be suspicious

of anything I do now because he'll think
it's because of the baby.

Honey, I don't know if... Mom, I don't
like the medication, okay?

I can't afford to be tired 16 hours out
of the day. I have a campaign, a

practice, a husband to keep happy.

But trust me, I have all of this under
control, okay?

And if it gets bad, then I'll take my
meds. But right now, I'm feeling pretty

good.

Okay. Okay.

Let me show you what I did to the
bathroom.

I have to focus right now.

It's too much. I have to get this done.
I'm coming. I'm coming.

I am coming.

I'm going to be there.

The site is up and ready to roll.

Tomorrow's the big night we launch, my
brother.

There's no OBGYN in the area named Dr.
Monroe.

Tia said the Dr. Monroe that she had an
appointment with was her OBGYN.

But the nearest OBGYN named Monroe is
over an hour away.

Okay, so there's no Dr. Monroe in the
area, big deal.

Well, there is.

But she's not an OBGYN.

Mrs. Kingston, are you going to start
anytime soon?

Um, yes.

Yes. Um, Mr.

Wood?

Collins Wood?

Yes, that's right. Let's just stop the
game, shall we?

Mr. Bernstein set you up for this,
didn't he? I'm sorry, who?

Paul Bernstein, the district attorney.

He set you up for this. It's okay. Tell
the truth. You're under oath.

Your Honor.

Mrs. Kingston, this is a class action
settlement hearing.

The DA has nothing to do with it.

Your client... No, no, no, no, no.
You're wrong, Your Honor. You're wrong.

I am so fed up with liars.

Low -down, dirty scumbags like Mr.

Woods and Mr.

Bernstein trying to undermine my hard
work.

You are a liar.

Seriously, Your Honor. A liar.
Seriously, your client is a liar. And I

proof. Your Honor, you have to stop
this.

I have proof. Mrs. Kingston.

I have proof.

I have proof that he is a liar.

Mrs. Kingston, you're out of order.

Liar. That's all you do.

Tell them. What the hell's the matter
with you? Your Honor, I want to sue this

woman for harassment or something. Oh,
you want to sue me? Yeah. You want to

me? I told you. He's in cahoots with
Bernstein. Where is he? Where is

Your Honor, stop this. He killed my
grandfather, and now he's trying to kill

See if my wife, Tia Giles, is a patient
here.

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't give you that
information.

I don't need any information. I just
need to confirm that. That's it.

I understand. But if your wife is a
patient here, she'd have to authorize

No, no, no. She doesn't have to
authorize anything.

Call Dr. Monroe. Call Dr. Monroe.

I'm sorry, sir.

But as I said, your wife has to
authorize you if she's a patient here.

Yeah, you said that. Yeah.

Can I ask you a quick question?

How am I supposed to help my wife if no
one wants to tell me what's wrong with

her? Huh?

Sir, I understand your concern, and I'm
really sorry, but I just can't... You

can't.

Tia!

Tia, I know something's going on with
you.

What?

You think I'm on drugs?

No.

But I think you may be sick.

I'm pregnant, Lance.

Pregnant. Hey, stop it.

Please. For once, just stop lying to me.
But I'm not lying to you. Why are you

treating me like this?

Tia, I went to Dr. Monroe's office,
okay? I know who she is. She's not your

OBGYN. She's your psychiatrist.

She told you that?

She's not supposed to tell you that I'm
her patient.

You didn't.

But you just did.

Great.

Great, so?

Now you want to leave?

Great. So now you want to leave? No, no,
no. I know you want to leave, so you

can just leave.

No, I want to talk about this. Just go.
You want to talk about what? You want to

talk about you leaving?

Let's talk about you leaving.

Let's get all your stuff together while
we talk about you leaving.

When I proposed to you, I promised I
would never give up on you. Do you

that? I meant it.

It's true, isn't it?

Did it ever occur to you that this is
something you should have told me before

we got married?

Do you hear what you just said?

That's why I didn't tell you.

That's why I didn't tell any of them.

My mom told me not to do this.

I don't care what your mom told you to
do or what happened with these other

guys. You didn't even trust me enough to
tell me the truth.

You strung me along. You lied to me.

And then you pretended to be pregnant
for crying out loud. And everybody knew.

Everybody knew except for me. Are you
mad? Are you mad? Get mad. Get mad so

can leave. No, just stop. So you can
leave and I'm not sick. Dude, what the

is this here? I'm not sick. I don't
know. Huh?

I am sick of this roller coaster ride.

Fine. You know what? Cool. I'll just
leave. I'll go. No, I'm not saying it.

leave. No, no, no, no. Don't put your
hands on me.

Are you trying to kill me?

I knew it.

Stay away from me.

Stay away from me. I will not let you
move me. Stay away from me.

Who are you calling? Would you stop?

Hello? Hello? Can you please get to my
house right now? My husband's trying to

kill me. What? He has a knife and he's
going to stab me.

Can you please hurry?

That's him.

That's him, officers.

Are you serious? That's my husband that
tried to kill me. Wait, wait, wait. No,

no, no, no. Look, this is a
misunderstanding.

My wife isn't well.

Tia, tell them.

Please, come on. Just listen to me. He
tried to grab me, and I lunged back, and

then... What are you telling them? What
are you telling them? Tia, come on.

Officer, will you just talk to her,
please?

This is a misunderstanding. This is a
mistake.

I don't know. He just lunged, and I...

Come on, Tia. Thank you.

Tia!

Okay, good. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't let him out.

Uh -uh.

Uh -uh.

Uh -uh.

Uh -uh. Don't tell me that.

No. No. Uh -uh. No, I don't believe you.

I just want my grandpa back.

I just want my grandpa back.

Can I go with you?

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired.

I've been trying to reach you and Lance
all day.

Is Lance here?

No, he's in jail.

He's where?

Mom was right about him. I had him
arrested for trying to kill me. He's the

who killed Grandpa, him and Paul
Bernstein. And they tried to kill me

and I was like, but don't worry.

I called the cops, and they came and
took him away.

I see.

Sweetie, so I was thinking.

But why don't you suspend your campaign
a bit? Just until the dust settles.

No, no.

Grandpa told me not to quit.

And he's here.

Grandpa's here. Do you see him?

He told me I could come with him.

So I think I'm going to go with him. Oh,
no, no, no, sweetie.

Mommy needs you to stay here with her
and Uncle Leo.

Listen.

I am going to meet with Judge Gilmore
tomorrow for lunch, and I'm going to see

if I can convince her to change her mind
about banning you in her courtroom.

She can ban me. I don't care.

No, honey, you don't want to throw your
career away like that. No, I don't want

to be a lawyer anymore.

I think we need to bring her home with
us.

No, no, I'm fine. I just need to rest.
It's the pills.

But you haven't had your pills. I just
don't want to go. Okay, Tia, I need you

to stop this.

I need you to stop.

Playing victim. Shut down this pity
party and get back to being the piagiles

raised. Let go of me.

My,

chill. Come on.

I don't have time for that. Reading and
books. I just don't want to.

You do it.

You do it.

Make me do something.

What the hell's wrong with you?

When are you going to stop chastising
that child for something she can't

control? She can control it.

She just can't give in to it. This is
not the time for her to be weak. So

what being schizophrenic means?

You're weak? It only hurts people who
give in to it? Is that what you feel

me, Virginia?

Is that what you thought about Dad?

You're the last person I need a lecture
from.

Right, because Leo's crazy.

Leo's weak.

And now your daughter's going to die
just like Dad.

Have you taken your meds? Oh, I've taken
my meds, Jenny.

Take them every day like clockwork. I
make sure that so do you.

You don't mind a handful of people
knowing that your mother's half crazy.

Except those that you tell I'm disabled.

What is it?

Bad back from playing football?

You go to your trusty little pharmacist
friend. You know the one you helped out

when he was in trouble. And he keeps
everything nice and quiet.

For you and me and Tia. You can't have.

anyone know that Virginia Giles'
brilliant daughter, the lawyer and next

schizophrenic or bipolar.

Who knows what the hell else?

You've even got her so convinced that
there's nothing really wrong with her.

we all know better than that.

And now Lance knows that pretty soon
everybody else is going to know

it too.

Now you're talking like a crazy person.

I am crazy.

Remember?

Just like our dad was.

He was so ravaged by his own mind that
he drove his car into the river.

And everyone thought it was an accident.

Because Jenny never told anyone that he
left a suicide note.

Watch everything he worked for be
discredited by people who thought he was

insane.

I didn't let that happen to him, and I'm
not going to let it happen to Tia.

And neither will you.

I guess someone else is going to have to
die, too.

No, someone else is going to come pick
you up and take you home.

He's upstairs asleep.

He's had a rough night.

Yeah, well, she's not the only one.

With all due respect, Virginia, get the
hell out of my way. Who do you think

you're talking to?

This is my house, and that is my wife.
And my daughter.

All right.

All right.

You know what?

I was going to talk to you about this
later, but since you're already here

and... Apparently ripe for a fight. Why
not?

I want to know what is wrong with my
wife. And this time, I want you to tell

the truth. You want to know the truth?
Do you, Lance?

Well, here's the truth.

You need to stop second -guessing your
wife, stop criticizing everything she

does, and realize she's stressing
herself out to try and please you.

Me? So this is my fault?

The outburst?

The mood swings?

Your family's history with mental
illness? My fault?

Try again. No, you try again.

Try trusting your wife.

Try loving her.

Stop judging her.

I do love her, Virginia.

But not the way that you love her.

Who are you talking about?

Your love comes with strings and
conditions.

You don't give a damn about your
daughter or anybody else. You just use

to make yourself.

Look good.

But the funny thing is, luck would have
it, you seem to have drawn the short end

of the stick now, didn't you?

A mentally ill father, brother, and
daughter.

What is poor Virginia to do?

Get out of my house.

I'm not leaving my daughter here with
you.

Then I'll have the police escort your
ass home. That number will be 911.

Angel face.

Gotta wake up.

We gotta go.

What? Come on, sweetheart.

Well?

Lance is back.

He tried to come upstairs, but I told
him no.

So we are getting your things,
sweetheart, and we are walking out of

You don't say anything, okay?

Let me handle it.

No, Mommy, let's lock the door because
I'm scared.

No, no, no, sweetheart, no.

No need to be afraid, okay?

You're coming home with Mommy.

Come on.

I know, but she still won't leave.

Oh, she'll leave. I'm on my way. I'm so
sick of her mess.

No, Beverly, just let me handle
Virginia.

When she leaves, I'll sit here down and
have a talk with her.

Listen, you know I will catch a case
over my little brother. I don't play

I know, but we don't need more than one
jailbird in the family. Just handle

things back at the office, and I'll call
you if I need.

Call me.

All right.

What's this?

What's going on, Tia?

Tia's going to stay with me for a few
days, just to give you some time.

No, I'm fine.

Baby, I'm fine. Look, I'll cook us
something to eat, and we can just sit

relax, the two of us.

Come, just... What, you got scared of
me? What have you been telling me?

You've got no right to do this. I have
every right to protect my daughter.

Every right.

Come, Tia. Wait a minute. No, listen.

Don't... Tia, don't let her do this to
us, please.

Tia!

Tia!

Leo.

Hey.

Here you go, buddy. Thank you, thanks.

Right over here.

You look like hell.

Yeah, so I've heard.

Leo, listen.

I know you've been trying to tell me
something.

I've been trying not to tell you
something, Lance.

That night with the pill bottles.

You need to talk to Tia and Virginia
about that.

I have.

I know that Tia is sick.

And I know that Virginia has her
convinced that I'm trying to hurt her,

not. I would never hurt her, Leo.

I love her.

If Virginia ever finds out I told you
anything... She won't.

What is it? What is she suffering from?

Is she bipolar?

Schizophrenic? I mean, which one?

Both.

They call it schizoaffective.

She started showing signs when she was
about 10. Got diagnosed not long after

that. Then her old man took off.

Jenny says he couldn't handle having a
child with mental illness.

Jenny got her convinced that she could
handle it.

She don't like taking meds. And when she
gets overloaded, she unravels.

That's what's happening now.

Unraveling.

You can save her, but you're going to
have to get past my sister first.

Yeah? I'm not supposed to do that.

You gotta be crafty.

Just like her.

Can you handle that, Lance?

I'm dropping out of the race.

Everyone will be paid through the end of
the month.

And volunteers, I'll make sure you get
something for your time as well.

Tia, this is about the polls.

It's not.

It's not about the polls. It's not about
donations.

It's not about the lies that Paul
Bernstein is telling about me in the

It's about my life.

And I just need to.

To stop everything.

A campaign.

A practice.

It's all over.

You all can leave now.

I'll be praying for you too.

There's nobody here. There's no company
here.

Where's Tia?

Gone. Gone where?

How would I know? I told her that you
wanted her to stay home.

But she said she had someplace else to
go. What was I supposed to do?

She took the other car.

And by the way, I found this in the
trash can.

Ms. Kingston's statement went on to say
that she has no plans to renew her

campaign in the future. And John, we're
learning that she's also in the process

of shutting down her law firm.

I got to find her, Bev. I got to talk
her into getting some help.

Well, I hear you, Lance. But remember,
the doctor said we've got to get

or you'll drive her further and further
away.

I found a support group.

I think you should check it out.
Beverly, I don't have time for this.

Lance, do this the right way or you'll
lose her for good.

Get some help, bro.

She's not capable of making these kind
of decisions in this current state, Leo.

She's going to regret this, I know it.
You can't force her to take her man's

Jenny. You can't force her to do
anything she doesn't want to do.

You're wrong.

When she comes in here, I'm going to get
her to change her mind.

See ya.

Hi, honey.

Lance is going to try to take my money.

So I took it all out of the bank.

I got out as much as I could.

Mom, can you go tomorrow and get the
rest for me?

Sweetheart, that's a lot of money.

Let me have it, okay?

Tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow.

I look tired.

You want to lay down?

We see it, but we just don't talk about
it.

We run.

We hide.

We lie.

And we just sweep it under the rug.

Black folks don't suffer from mental
illness, right?

We're not afraid to own our physical
ailments.

I mean, we see a doctor.

We get help.

Not. So with mental illness.

Not so when it's our minds, not our
bodies, that are

sick.

I saw little things in her personality.

I just thought she was stressed out.

I'm tired.

I thought she was a little quirky.

It never occurred to me that...

Leah?

Leah, how are you feeling?

Leah, no.

Leah.

Come on. Come on.

Leah!

I don't love you. Let me go.

Please.

Please. No.

No. No.

Please. No.

Why aren't you taking your medications,
Tia?

Tia?

Dr. Monroe asked you a question.

Why aren't you taking your medications?

Do you know what it's like to be me, Dr.
Monroe?

Do you, Mom?

You guys poke at me, analyze me, label
me.

Schizophrenic, bipolar.

You're so effective.

But do you really know what it feels
like to be me?

Of course.

Honey, we don't know what it feels like.
Mom, please, just listen.

For once.

You try not to notice how people look at
you.

The way they talk to you.

Pretend you don't know that they're
afraid of you.

Pretend you don't care what they say
behind your back.

Is he drunk?

Is she on drugs?

Nah, is she just crazy?

I'm constantly at a war with the world
and myself.

Most days I feel like I'm on a hamster
wheel.

And my feet are tired from running.

But my mind won't let me stop.

I don't want to stop running.

I want to kill the voices in my head.

I want to stop hurting.

And for you guys, the answer is simple.

Take your meds, Tia.

Numb the pain. Sleep through the pain.
Take your meds.

But the pain never leaves me, Mom.

My sickness only feeds the pain.

They don't set me free.

None of this sets me free.

Good work today.

Good work.

Okay.

Mr. Giles?

Jameson Giles?

Lance Kingston.

I recognize you from your pictures.

I need to talk to you about Tia.

This is not a good time.

Well, I'm not leaving until I get some
answers.

What do you want to know?

Why did you abandon your daughter?

Oh.

You must have been talking to Virginia.

That woman.

I love my daughter very much.

And I think about her all the time. But
her mother... What about her mother?

She gave me a choice.

Either to let her raise Tia the way she
wanted or leave.

My decision to leave was easier than it
should have been.

But I was young and immature.

I was scared.

We both were. I didn't know if I could
raise a mentally ill child.

Hell, I wasn't even sure about my own
sanity.

And now?

A lot older, I'm a lot wiser.

I tried a few times to reach out to
Virginia to see Tia.

But she said Tia hated me and didn't
want to see me.

After a while, I gave up.

I see.

Can I ask you a question?

You're going to ask me whether I say yes
or not.

You're an artist, right?

Yeah. Me too.

A writer, actually.

And every time I write something that I
think is perfect, I end up finding

something I don't like.

I know the feeling. I go through it with
my paintings.

But you keep them, don't you?

You appreciate them.

And you still show them off to the
world.

You probably love all your creations.

Flaws and all.

Right?

And despite all of their imperfections,
you would never part with them.

Well, that is how I feel about Tia.

She may be...

misshapen slightly and not perfectly
dimensional, but she is still a work of

art.

Your work of art.

I have to go.

It's nice meeting you, Lance.

Hey. Hey.

So, since things didn't work out with
Jameson, we've got to come up with a

B.

Yeah, I know.

My dearest Lance, Mom, and Uncle Leo,
I'm so sorry for everything I've put you

through. You don't deserve this pain.

My leaving is not for me.

It's for you.

It's the only way for me to put an end
to your hurting.

I know you'll all be better off once I'm
gone.

Your lives will be better without me.

With all my love, Tia.

Well, let me walk you to your car.

Okay.

Oh.

Virginia.

Hello?

We'll be right over. Come on. Come on.

Follow me. What's going on?

Thank you.

Leo!

Beverly and Leo are looking outside.
There's none upstairs.

He left his note in the bed.

I can't believe this is happening again.

It's late.

Wait, wait.

I know where she is.

I know where she is.

This is where my father, his father was
found.

This is where he killed himself. There
she is.

Oh, my God.

Please bring me back my baby.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait,
wait.

No, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

I know you think this is the answer. I
know.

Just look at me. Look at me. Look at me,
please.

I know you think this is going to make
everyone feel better, but you're wrong.

Let's go away. Wait, wait, wait. Just
listen. Just listen.

I've got big plans for us.

Okay? I see us growing old together with
children and grandchildren.

And I see you in my life, Tia.

Les, you don't understand. Do you think
I'm going to leave you?

I'm not.

I'm not. After everything, I'm here.

I'm here, Tia.

And God knows you've given me every
opportunity to run.

I'm running over here.

Wait, wait.

What are you doing?

No,

no, no, no, no.

Get out of the car.

up to you.

in hiding I was in hiding because that
was the lie my illness told me that if I

told the truth that I would disappear
that lie almost ruined my life

almost killed me but I'm here with

a lot of love and support I made it or
shall I

say I'm making it

Day by day.

And today I truly feel blessed.

Now, as for this man here, I will never
understand why he stayed.

Why he fought for me.

But he did.

And now I know that I deserve him.

I deserve to be loved.

I deserve to be happy, to be healthy.

And to live a life free of any lies or
any judgment.

And while I would love to honor my
grandfather by filling his seat, I

to honor him first by getting well,
educating others on mental illness,

and carrying on his legacy.

Trust me, you will see a lot more of Tia
Kingston.
