All language subtitles for Beyond the Gates s02e132.eng

Change your mind
about having a glass?

No, I'm just looking
at the bottle.

I'm not really
in a champagne mood.

Maybe later.

Gosh, I wish I knew
who to thank for this.

French, expensive, sent to
celebrate our fabulous nuptials.

Rather fashionably late, but...

-[chuckles]
-Anyway.

I guess we were simply
on somebody's mind.

And who can blame them?

[Dani chuckles]

Samantha, this research
you compiled

on influencers who have launched
their own athleisure brands

is incredibly thorough.

Thanks.

Uh, there's so many
inspiring women

who didn't wait
for a seat at the table.

And that's exactly the kind
of energy we need to bring.

Your next assignment:
compile a similar report

for top lip gloss brands

who have launched
primarily via socials.

Influencers with Chelsea's
level of brand awareness.

I can have it to you
by the end of the day.

That soon?

Best intern/
brand ambassador/niece ever.

You're just saying that
'cause we're family.

No.

I'm saying it
because you're excellent.

Learn to take
the compliment, girl.

You're right.

-I'm sorry.
-Ugh.

And stop apologizing.

When Chelsea's socials
started blowing up,

she thought it was
all looks and luck.

And Aunt Dani and I
kept telling her

that downplaying your brilliance
doesn't make you humble.

What does it make you?

Invisible.

Chelsea stopped apologizing
for being good at what she does,

and lo and behold,
the diva we have today.

Can't behold
until she gets here.

Where is she?

[soul music playing]

EVA:
Hey.

I was starting to think
you ghosted me.

Well, if you want the real,
I considered it.

But I'm here now.

[clears throat]

So...

what is this about?

? ?

Smitty. How'd the interview
with Lia go?

Did she give you anything
to help back up your theory?

Not a damn thing.

So either Lia has
great acting chops...

Or she's not tied
to Lynette Wise's disappearance.

Not in the slightest.

Hey, man, I tried to warn you.

Yeah, it was worth a shot.

But I did get traction
on something else, though,

thanks to your wife.

-You talked to Naomi?
-Yeah.

So, I ran into Naomi
earlier today,

and she said
that Hayley was relieved

that Lynette
supposedly skipped town.

But then to me, Hayley's
singing a different tune.

She said that she's worried
Lia did something to Lynette

as payback for emptying
her retirement savings.

Both could be true.

Hayley finds out Lynette
shaded her and gets pissed,

and then she finds out
Lia's a criminal

and feels bad
for doubting Lynette.

Yeah, but that still
doesn't explain why Dani saw

Hayley and Lynette
with their heads together

before Hayley was mugged.

And Hayley swears that they
became tight after the attack.

Or why Hayley referred to
Lynette as her friend to Dani.

Why would Hayley lie about when
she and Lynette became friends?

Yeah, I don't know.

That might be a riddle
for another day.

I'm still stuck
on this mysterious mastermind

behind the Red Market.

[door opens]

Surprise!

Heather, what the hell?

What are you doing here?

Can't a girl drop in
and see her brother?

[laughs]:
Hi.

Huh.

Hayley?

Oh.

Well, that's not quite
the outfit that I had in mind,

given the mood and all.

-I figured I'd switch things up.
-Okay.

So what is this?

Some kind of
personal trainer fantasy?

[laughs]
This isn't a role-play or a romantic fantasy.

The way to a strong heart
is a healthy lifestyle.

So this is an intervention.

Baby, I know
this was addressed to me,

-but it was meant
for both of us. -Yeah.

And you know what happens
when I drink alone.

-Dani, I...
-[knock at door] -[gasps]

Oh, looks like you have company.

You have some help.
[chuckles]

-Hey, Vanessa.
-Andre.

Did your client ghost you?

-Their loss.
-[laughs]

Well, I guess
I'll make myself scarce,

give you both some girl time.

I hope you're not leaving
on my account.

No, no, it's nothing like that.

I actually have an appointment
at the club with Diego

to work on my golf swing.

If I don't tighten up and fast,

Uncle Ted and Martin
are gonna eat me alive.

-I'll miss you when you're gone.
-Not as much as I'll miss you.

[chuckles]

Excuse me.

See ya.

You two are so sweet,
I'm gonna need a root canal.

I can't believe how close
I came to wrecking all of this.

One stupid moment,
and I almost threw away

the best thing
to ever happen to me.

Let it go, Dani.

What's done is done.

Focus on how good
your husband makes you feel

in the here and now.

[sighs]
He does make me happy.

[smacks lips]

And how are you, my Vandanna?

How are things
between you and Joey?

I was just telling Nicole how
perfect things have been lately.

Joey, Deanna and me sharing
a meal like an actual family.

[softly]:
Hmm.

Joey and I were always
made for each other.

We just took
the long way to get there.

So you want to go live

and talk about Kat giving me
a piece of her liver?

I do.

But I thought you were
a lifestyle influencer.

Are you trying to do a collab
with Doctor Mike or something?

Ever since I came back
to socials,

after everything that happened,
I promised myself

I wouldn't just go back
to selling purses

and pretending that the world
is cute and curated.

I want my followers
to hear your story,

and maybe a few of them
will become donors.

Why not ask Kat?

She's the one
who actually donated.

Originally, I wanted you both.

But she said no.

Specifically "hell no"
since I was involved.

She's okay with it being
just you, if you're up for it.

Look, to be honest,

I used to side-eye
the whole organ donor thing,

and not because I didn't believe
in helping people

but because I'm Black.

And I thought,
"Why give them permission

to see me as spare parts?"

Like my body is just inventory
waiting to be harvested

the second they decided

that I was worth more
dead than alive.

Wh-Whoa.

I never had that feeling.

Well, of course you didn't,

because they would move heaven,
earth and half the galaxy

to keep a Dupree breathing.

But the rest of us
grew up hearing stories about

hospitals experimenting
on our bodies.

Henrietta Lacks.

The Tuskegee experiment,
all of it.

And we can't forget that.

And I'm sure a lot of people
have that same feeling.

They do.

The problem is, there's
a lot of need there, too.

Black people make up
almost a third of those

waiting on transplants and
barely a fraction of the donors.

People can receive organs from
people of other races, right?

But the likelihood of a match
is much higher

with a same-race donor.

If everyone who's scared
opts out,

all we're really doing
is reducing the chances

for the next Black girl
that needs a liver, a kidney

or a heart
ever gets off that list.

Well, if you think my story
can do some good, then...

I guess I owe it to the world
to give back. [sighs]

Thanks, Eva. This means a lot.

But to guarantee
Kat doesn't freak out,

I need to implement
one ground rule.

So while you and I are working
to expand ChelseaKat,

my business partner is off
trying to save the world

one live stream at a time.

That's fire.

You think so?

I never gave organ donation
a single thought

until I was staring
at the consent form,

being asked to hand over
a piece of my liver

to save the woman
who made my life hell.

So that's why you're not
doing the live stream?

No, it's not that.

Honestly, I just want
to forget the whole thing.

I am so not interested
in picking at

the literal and figurative scars
I carry because of her.

Now, I love that Chelsea is
putting good out in the world,

but my trauma is not
for anyone's entertainment.

I had hoped that this might
bring you and Aunt Eva closer.

I hope that you can
at least keep an open mind.

A long way to go
for a social call,

especially when
there's a local cop here

hell-bent on throwing
the book at you.

Funny you should use that word.

I've been known to raise
a little hell myself.

Don't remind me.

I'm not concerned
with your little detective.

Especially after
I tie up a loose end.

Look, Jacob, I know how badly
you want to find out

who's behind the plasma ring.

I'm right there with you.

I appreciate you, Smitty.

You've been ten toes down

since the first day
we shook hands on this.

As have you.

And we brought down
the plasma ring here in the DMV.

I mean,
that-that's a win, right?

Yeah, it is.

But that doesn't come close to
getting real justice for Derek.

So until the Impaler's in cuffs,

until he's rotting
in a jail cell,

this case is far from closed.

Then neither are we.

-Ready?
-To talk to your millions

upon millions of followers?

Yeah, light work.
No pressure at all.

Just be you and breathe.

You're gonna do great.

[Eva sighs]

Hey, ChelseaFam, it's your girl.

I'm here today
with someone special.

This is Eva Thomas.

What's good, y'all?

Eva recently went through
something terrifying.

She needed a liver transplant
to survive.

She's here to share
her experience with us.

First off, Eva, thank you
for trusting us with your story.

So what led you to needing
a liver transplant?

All right, y'all.
[sighs]

So y'all remember
that nasty-ass tornado

that tore through the DMV
a few weeks back?

Yeah, that one.

I got caught in it.

And, like, I've never been
so scared in my whole life.

And I done been
through some stuff.

Haven't we all?

Um...

I was scared
out of my mind, y'all.

Then the stairwell
that I was hiding in got hit.

And there were pipes
and concrete

just, like, raining down.

And I ducked and covered.

And when it stopped,
I thought I was okay.

Uh, but I wasn't.

-It's okay if you...
-No, no.

I-I want to do this.

Um...

something in me felt so wrong.

And when I tried to breathe,
I started coughing up blood.

And I was choking,
thinking, like,

"This cannot be
the way I go out."

[sighs]
I...

I really thought
I was gonna die, y'all.

And I would have
if not for the person

who was trapped beside me.

Okay, so hear me out.

A cosmetics line for ChelseaKat
makes sense,

but let's not kid ourselves.

The market is crowded.

Everybody and their mama
has one.

Uh, Rihanna's Fenty,
SZA's Not Beauty.

Yeah, and both
of those brands popped

because they launched
off crazy fandom.

Wait, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yes.

Great-Gran, Aunt Dani
and Chelsea are all

superstars in their own right.

Three generations
of Dupree women,

three completely
different demos,

and all three of them
have elite lips.

We could be the next
My Black Is Beautiful.

-Samantha, don't zone on me now.
-Oh.

-I'm mid-vision. Yeah.
-Uh, uh, sorry.

Uh, Chelsea is live right now.

And not for nothing,
her lips look insane.

So, Eva, I want to talk about
the person who saved your life.

For her privacy,
we're calling her Rene.

I still can't believe
you made her use an alias.

Well, I didn't want
people in my business.

It would be five minutes
before Bossip runs:

"Bougie Dupree heiress
gives liver

to save hood rat half sister."

Hard pass.

You said you and Rene were
trapped together that night.

Yeah. Um, we don't really
get along,

but after everything
we've been through,

after she literally cut herself
open so that I can live...

I don't know, like...

maybe this is my shot
to finally fix that.

-Mmm.
-Mm-hmm.

This champagne?
Absolutely to die for.

I needed this.

With everything
that's going on-

Naomi, the BRCA of it all-

I feel like I've been
holding my breath for days.

I don't know how
you're keeping it together.

Just thinking about Deanna
ever having to face

what Anita's been through?

I can't wrap my mind around it.

It's a mother's worst nightmare.

I would battle cancer
a thousand times over

if it meant
it never touched my girls.

But I can't protect them
from their own DNA,

from what I gave them.

You didn't give them anything
except life, love

and every advantage you could.

Naomi's strong.

She comes from you, from Anita,

from a whole line of Dupree
women who don't break easily.

If only that were enough.

I hate to bring up
the elevator mistake

who shall not be named, but...

how's Naomi's father
taking the news?

Better than I am.

Bill, like my mother,
has decided to let Naomi

make her own choices in the face
of this gene mutation.

You were hoping
they would back you up?

At first, yeah.

But Bill helped me see something
that I didn't want to admit.

What our daughter needs most
right now isn't pressure.

It's support.

Would you look at that?

Turns out Hamilton's good
for something after all.

Okay, so help me understand.

You want us doing cardio,

but you staged the room
to look like date night?

[sighs]
Well, couples mix romance and exercise

all the time, babe.

I even came up
with an incentive.

-Mm. Mm.
-So, for every plank you do,

-you get a little treat.
-Yeah?

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

Well, what kind of treat
are we talking about?

Mm. Mm.

Well, in that case,
we can just skip the planks.

Get straight
to the rewards program.

Uh-uh. No, no, no.

You are not gonna sweet-talk
your way out of the work.

I read somewhere that sex is

actually one of the best forms
of exercise,

so why don't we just
split the difference?

As in?

As in, to hell
with all these treats,

just bring me
the whole damn meal.

-Mm.
-[chuckles]

Let's be clear, Heather.

This is my territory.

Well, I didn't come back here
for you to give me a tour.

Maybe you should have.

Things would run
a lot more smoothly for you

if you would just loop me in
before making any moves.

I don't like
having complications

when they can be easily avoided.

Happen to be complications

that you have
a lot of influence over.

A threat dressed up
like a favor.

No, I think of it more
as sibling guidance.

Do you want to know
about my loose end or not?

Yes.

I want to know what it is
and how much heat

it's gonna bring on me
if I agree.

Well...

there's a reporter.
[sighs]

He's nosy and persistent,
and he's taking up a hobby

of writing pieces
about my extracurriculars.

Oh, you must mean
the blood plasma theft ring

you've been running
less than five minutes

from our nation's capital.

Yeah. That.

[sighs]
It's starting to snowball.

It was just
a little local coverage,

but now it's getting
national attention.

-Oh, good for him.
-[sighs]

Joey, it's not good for us.

He's making connections
he should not be making,

questions that
he shouldn't be asking,

and every piece is just

one more thread
that they can pull.

In other words, his job.

Do you know I have
a mole at the FBI,

and they're telling me
that they're ramping up

investigations
on the global Red Market

all because of this
little wannabe Anderson Cooper.

And your solution is what,
make him disappear?

Well, I did come back to
arrange his demise personally.

No.

No?

[scoffs]
Hold on, I'm not even finished yet. Just...

You didn't have to,
because you're not gonna touch

one hair
on that reporter's head.

And what if I do?

That night, before I passed out
from my injuries,

I mean, all I could think about

were the people
who had come into my life.

The people that I grew to love.

And the ones
that I hoped would love me.

Un-freaking-believable.
Are you seeing this?

I think it's nice.

There is nothing nice
about Chelsea falling

for Eva's whole woe-is-me,
soft-launch trauma tour.

Aunt Eva almost died.

Chelsea's just being...

Manipulated.

But that is what Eva does.

She performs. She cries on cue.

I don't know. This feels real.

It's not.

Trust me.

-Oh, shoot.
-Hmm, what is it?

Chelsea's live stream.

I was so busy enjoying the
finer things in life with you

that I missed the alert
when she went live.

So here's what people
don't realize.

Less than 60% of eligible adults
in the U.S.

are registered organ donors.

Meanwhile,
every eight to ten minutes,

someone gets added
to the transplant waitlist.

So, before all of this,
before the hospital,

before everything,
what was life like?

Busy.

With work, spending time
with my man, my mom and my dad,

excited about
this big deal dress-up function

at the country club.

I had no reason to think

that anything was
about to change.

And that's important,
because people hear "transplant"

and think long-term illness.

Yeah, this wasn't that.

This was sudden, like, violent.

I mean, one minute
everything was fine,

and the next,
I'm fighting for my life.

Do you even remember
being rescued?

Would you look at her?

Chelsea's really using

her viral social media
superpowers for good.

She could sell you ice
in a blizzard,

and you'd still be
inspired about it.

How's Kat taking all this?

Chelsea going live
with Eva and all.

Oh, uh, well,
she cleared it with Kat.

-Mm.
-Chelsea's thoughtful that way.

She'd never blindside
her cousin.

Uh, Dani?

What?

Uh, look in the background
behind Chelsea and Eva.

Isn't that Andre?

It appears so.

I thought he was heading
to the club to play golf.

He did.

Hey, have you talked to Max
in witness protection lately?

Why do you ask?

Well, Max was the one
that originally tipped me off

about the Red Market,
so if there's chatter

about the Impaler,

where he is,
who he might be working with,

then maybe Max has heard it.

After what happened to Derek,
I had Max moved.

And before you ask, no,

I don't know the address,
by design.

Fair enough.

Well, if Max was
our original thread

and that
original thread's gone...

Seems like we're gonna have
to start from scratch

if we're ever gonna
catch this guy.

Since when did you care
about some hack journalist?

Ever since that hack journalist,

who managed to uncover
your bloody endeavors,

is married
to a U.S. congressman.

Wait, so you want me
to put the brakes on my plans

because of some suit,

some nobody with delusions
of Pulitzer grandeur,

had the good fortune to put
a ring on the right finger?

Oh, brother, you...

...have changed.

You're hobnobbing
with the likes of-of

people we used to make fun of
over bourbon.

You have your priorities,
I have mine.

And I need that congressman
to be reelected.

Oh.

That's all this is?

Well, why didn't you
just say that?

So you'll let it go?

No.

But icing out the husband would
solve both of our problems.

-Oh, boy.
-No, just listen to me.

Listen, here...

Let's look at the optics here.

America loves
a grieving widower.

His approval ratings
would go through the roof.

I think we would be doing
the congressman a huge favor.

[soul music playing]

Now, I'm not gonna front.

I used to be real iffy
about organ donation.

I hear a lot of people are.

But when you're the one
laid up in the hospital

and you find out
how close you came to dying,

you see things differently.

So, for someone on the fence,
I am living proof

of someone choosing
compassion over fear.

And that choice matters,
especially when the life

that needs saving one day
could be your own.

Want more info on becoming
an organ donor?

Check the links in my bio.

Thanks for watching.

Bye.

Wow, Eva, you were a natural.

For real? I was nervous as hell
the first few minutes.

Yes, girl. I wouldn't be shocked

if someone from a nonprofit
slides in your DMs

and asks you to be
their new spokesperson.

Nah, I'll leave
the influencer activism to you.

[Eva chuckles]

Well, I'd better get going.

Yeah, same.
I'm meeting Kat at the club.

Look, um, my sister
has made it clear that there is

still static between us,
even after everything.

I just hope it doesn't
prevent us from being cool.

I'm still hurt
by what you and your mom did

to my aunt's marriage.

Yeah. No, I get that.

However, I'm starting to see
a different side of you.

Not just as the worst thing
you ever did but...

as someone who's trying.

That's the best I can hope for.

Take care, Chelsea.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Oh, man. Shoot.

Like I just did the Billy Goat
Trail at Great Falls, barefoot.

Wow.

Don't give me
a Yelp review or anything.

No, no. [sighs]
I have no complaints.

Five stars across the board.
I just...

[breathes deeply]
I don't know.

I just need a minute
to catch my breath.

Here.

Electrolytes, lemon,
a little honey.

It'll give your body exactly
what it needs and then some.

Hmm. Oh.

-Thanks, babe.
-Mm-hmm.

[Bill sighs]

Oh, man.

I missed Chelsea's live.

Oh, let me see.

Okay. At least I can
watch it on her reel.

CHELSEA:
Hey, ChelseaFam, it's your girl.

I'm here today
with someone special.

-Uh-oh.
-This is Eva Thomas.

-What?
-EVA: What's good, y'all?

Chelsea's on with Eva.

-They look pretty chummy.
-Mm.

[scoffs]

Kat is not gonna like this.

That's a chunk of my life
I'll never get back.

So none of it moved you?
Not even a little?

I did learn some things
about organ donation.

Look, I'm so proud of Chelsea
for using her platform

for something meaningful.

But damn it,
why did it have to be her?

-You told Chelsea...
-I know what I said!

I didn't know
what I was authorizing.

What do you mean?

Them acting like...

Like friends?

You know what? I think
we're done working for the day.

Why don't you go to the pool?

Your cotillion friends
are still here, right?

Yeah, but I have
that assignment...

Mm, I'm pushing the deadline.

Go.

-Okay.
-[sighs]

I'm sure there's
a reasonable explanation

for Andre being there.

And lying to us? To me?

Maybe I should call Diego
and find out.

Dani...

Andre is not Bill.

He doesn't lie to you for sport,

and he doesn't wake up
each morning

looking for ways to outmaneuver
and gaslight the woman he loves.

Oh, maybe it would
serve me right

if he did turn out
to be like Bill.

After what I did,
he is entitled to sleep around,

maybe find someone
younger and prettier

-and less complicated...
-Enough.

You made a mistake.

But you are not
some irredeemable villain

in a cautionary tale.

You are a woman who slipped,

caught herself,
and chose to stop falling.

In other words, an adulterer.

In other words, human.

Andre loves you.

The complicated, stubborn,
still-healing you.

You've got to forgive yourself,
and-and you've got to stop

standing around like-like
you are waiting for the universe

to collect payment
for your sins.

Well, aren't we the lucky ones?

My sister's suddenly
civic-minded,

even wants to help
with a congressman's campaign.

Yeah, well, I do what I can.

Touching.

But I happen to know
that the campaign is

overflowing with volunteers,
so your help isn't needed.

Okay.

Suit yourself.

I'll tell my guys to back off.

-Good.
-Under one condition.

I want your help.

And, I mean, if you can't lean
on family during times of need,

I don't know when you can.

What is it?

Convince Bradley Smith to keep
the Impaler out of his laptop.

Tell me, how is it you think

you're even in a position
to ask for my help?

I mean, you ran your Red Market
in my territory,

which only made the local cops
think I was pulling the strings.

I apologized for that.

-Actually, you didn't.
-[sighs] The intent was there.

Oh, that makes it all better.

Look, it was a faux pas-
a costly one, I'll admit-

but it was not malicious.

And I'm not demanding
anything from you.

I just need your help with this
one little Bradley Smith issue.

I mean, we are still family,
aren't we?

I need to take care
of something on the floor.

-Just...
-Mm-hmm.

...make yourself at home,
all right?

[clicks tongue]

I always do.

All right, well, I got to run.

Editor wants a face-to-face
before the next installment.

Okay, cool. If I hear anything
on my end, I'll be in touch.

And if anything falls
into my lap,

-you will be the first to know.
-Sounds good.

Chief Hawthorne.

Smitty.

Good seeing you.

Jacob...

Not now, Pops, please.

I know Kat can be petty,
but, I mean, she can't be mad

about her cousin and her sister
raising awareness

about organ donation.

That would just be unhinged,
even by Dupree standards.

You really don't know Kat.

She might be Nicole's daughter,
but she is cut

from the same cloth
as her Aunt Dani.

And you know
how petty she can be

when she feels
she's been wronged.

-Oh, I am fully aware.
-[clears throat]

Listen, Eva did not
cross a line with Kat.

She burned it, you know,
salted the earth

and danced on the ashes.

Hmm, and now your precious
daughter is cozying up to her.

[murmurs]

I hope Chelsea and Kat
don't fall out over this.

Oh, well, look who decided
to show up.

Hey, I'm sorry I'm so late.

After the live stream, I had
a lot of comments to respond to.

I'm glad it was such a big hit.

Everything all right?

Positively peachy.

Why do you ask?

[sighs]

You fall into a hole over there?

No, no, I just watched it again.

-Watched what?
-Chelsea's live. [chuckles]

From start to finish,
the whole thing.

That's my brilliant girl.

-You know,
she didn't miss a beat. -[chuckles]

Chelsea must take after you.

[chuckles]
Was that a veiled dig at Dani?

I mean,
what was veiled about it?

I'm gonna get us a cup of water.

Okay.

CHELSEA:
So here's what people don't realize.

Less than 60%
of eligible adults in the U.S.

are registered organ donors.

Meanwhile, every eight
to ten minutes...

HAYLEY:
Bill?

Hey. Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good. I just...

Yeah, I guess I'm just paying

for that
so-called workout earlier.

You know, you really put me
through it.

That didn't look
like a sore muscle.

-You sure?
-Yeah.

Yeah, I'm-I'm positive.

EVA:
...my mom and my dad...

How'd the golf game go?

Questions before hello?

That's sketchy.

Where did
the third degree come from?

Just trying to match
my equally sketchy husband

who's obviously
hiding something.

Okay, you caught me.

[chuckles]

I figured we both
could use a cheat day,

so I rerouted to get
some red velvet cake.

Don't judge me.

[Andre grunting softly]

-Okay. Wow. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]

I thought the red velvet cake
was gonna be my dessert.

-What's...
-Nope.

I've got all the sweetness
I need right here.

Okay, I genuinely don't
understand why you're mad at me.

Isn't it obvious?

You knew I was planning
to do the live,

you knew it was with Eva,

and I did what you asked
by leaving you out of it.

So what's your malfunction?

It's because, once again,
All About Eva

couldn't wait to step
into the spotlight

and play her most iconic role:
the victim.

That's not fair.

Eva didn't even know I was
gonna ask her to do the live.

She doesn't need
a lot of prep time, Chels.

She's been rehearsing for this
her whole life.

Are you sure
you watched the right stream?

Eva credited a fake-named donor
for saving her life.

She gave you your privacy
and your flowers.

Oh, I never said
she wasn't a committed thespian.

-Come on, Kat.
-No, you come on.

Do you have any idea
how it felt sitting here,

watching my cousin
and best friend comforting

the woman who ruined my life?

Eva already won over my dad,
my boyfriend,

my brother, my niece.

Hell, even my own mother
gives her a pass

for reasons I cannot understand,
and now...

...she finally got to you, too.

Kat, wait.

[sighs]

You sure are spending a lot
of time with that reporter.

-He has a name, Pops.
-Oh, I know Smitty's name.

Or for the sake of
this conversation, his byline.

-So what are you saying?
-I'm saying he's a civilian.

He's a journalist, not a cop.

In fact, from now on,
if Smitty want information,

he needs to route that
through the proper channels,

the Public Information's Office.

Okay, like how you go
through the proper channels

in your dealings
with Joey Armstrong?

You better keep your voice down.

Or what?

This case got you
real bold, boy.

Don't let obsession take
your common sense with it.

-Oh, yeah, whatever.
-Listen.

Now, I know
that you're frustrated,

but sometimes leads dry up

and sometimes
the truth stays buried.

An important case happens
to the best of us, son.

And I hate to tell you this,
but you may have to accept

the fact that you may never
unmask the Impaler.

You think so?

It's not happening.

[Vanessa clears throat]

Oh, if you're looking for Joey,

he had to do something
out on the floor.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry. Who the hell are you?

Wow. You didn't really think
you were the only woman

in Joey's life, now, did you?

Are you falling in love
with Carlton or Kial?

You still know me
better than anyone.

I want to paint the town red.
Ha!

Apparently, Mother requests
our appearance at Uptown.

[crowd cheering]

[laughter]

[gasps]
What are you doing?

Oopsie!
[laughs]

I don't know how you left that

in your bedroom
alone and unattended.

What do you suggest, Hayley?
Huh? What are you saying?

That I should ban my daughters
from coming in my house?

Oh, it's only your house?

I don't sling drinks

and I don't shuffle cards,
and I'm not a sex worker,

but I did share a bed with Joey
for many, many years.
