>> HEY, DO YOU STILL NEED THAT

>> I´M LATE, WHAT, TWO PAYMENTS?

>> I ALWAYS WANTED TO SCREW THE

I.R.S.

>> BUT THAT WAS NOT A $457,000

SCREW. I WILL GET THE MONEY.

JAIL IS ALWAYS AN OPTION.

>> I NEED YOUR SIGNATURE. I WANT

THE BUSINESS.

>> NO, NO, NO. NO WAY.

>> EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN

ORDER.

>> DON´T NEED THE LOAN ANYMORE,

>> THIS IS REALLY BAD.

>> HOW COME I DON´T FEEL GUILTY?

>> WE NEED TO STOP DOING THIS.

>> YOU´RE NOT GOING BACK TO HIM,

ARE YOU?

>> HE´S MY HUSBAND.

>> SO YOU DESERVE BETTER.

>> YOU WON´T EVER MAKE ME HAPPY.

>> WE´VE HIT A ROUGH PATCH. YOU

DON´T BREAK UP BECAUSE OF IT.

HE´S DONE WITH ME NOW.

>> GOOD. HE´S DOING YOU A FAVOR,

KIMBER. IT´S A GIFT.

[SPLASH]

>> MARCY HAMILL FLAT-LINED IN

RECOVERY.

>> WHY DO THE POLICE HAVE TO

KNOW?

>> NO WAY, CHRISTIAN. WE´RE NOT

GOING DOWN THAT ROAD AGAIN.

THIS TIME WE DO IT BY THE BOOK.

>> [PANTING]

>> IT´S NOT LIKE THESE ARE

THINGS THAT I DON´T LIKE ABOUT

YOU. IT´S JUST THAT, YOU KNOW...

I MEAN, THERE COMES A POINT

WHERE THE--THE LACK OF

ATTENTION, YOU KNOW, DOESN´T

FEEL LIKE JUST SOME SORT OF

BENIGN NEGLECT. I MEAN, I KNOW

ALL ABOUT THAT. MY MOTHER WAS AN

EXPERT, TRUST ME. BUT IT BEGINS

TO FEEL INTENTIONAL, LIKE HE...

LIKE YOU WANT TO HURT ME. BUT WE

HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS 50 TIMES.

DIDN´T WE HAVE THE SAME

CONVERSATION TWO WEEKS AGO?

FOR GOD´S SAKE, TALK, RON,

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT I´LL FILL

THE SILENCES IF YOU DON´T, AND

IT´S USUALLY WITH SOME STUPID

CRAP. AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT

THE DOCTOR AND I ARE TALKING

ABOUT. YOU NEED TO START

GENERATING THIS RELATIONSHIP.

>> RON?

ANYTHING?

>> I´M DONE.

>> DONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?

>> DONE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING.

>> WHAT IS THAT?

>> DIVORCE PAPERS. I HAD EDDIE

DRAW THEM UP. I´VE ALSO

SEPARATED OUR BANK ACCOUNTS AND

I´M RENTING A PLACE DOWN IN THE

MARINA FOR THE TIME BEING.

TONYA´S AT OUR PLACE NOW,

PACKING UP MY THINGS.

>> DAHLIA, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY

VERY PAINFUL TO HEAR.

I THINK WE SHOULD, UH, TAKE THIS

SLOW.

>> YOU...

YOU GODDAMNED ASSHOLE!

[SCREAMING]

>> DAMN IT!

>> [CRYING]

>> THIS IS WHY I DID THIS HERE!

I KNEW YOU COULDN´T HANDLE IT!

SHE´S UNSTABLE.

>> HANDLE IT?!

WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 20

YEARS! WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME

TO DO, THANK YOU?!

OH, IT´S TONYA. YOU´RE SCREWING

YOUR SECRETARY?

>> IT´S NOT TONYA.

IT´S YOU.

IT´S ALL ABOUT YOU, DAHLIA.

YOU´RE PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE AND

CRUEL AND DIMINISHING.

>> BUT THIS--THIS THERAPY.

WE CAME HERE TO SAVE OUR

RELATIONSHIP, OUR 20-YEAR

MARRIAGE.

>> STOP WITH THE 20 YEARS, AS

IF IT´S SOME ENDURANCE SPORT!

THERAPY DIDN´T SAVE US, DAHLIA.

IT ONLY MADE ME REALIZE HOW

LITTLE THERE IS FOR ME HERE

WITH YOU.

[DAHLIA STOPS CRYING]

>> YOU PRICK. I´M GONNA TAKE

EVERYTHING. HE HAS A LITTLE

DICK. IT´S ABOUT THE SIZE OF A

GODDAMNED GRAIN OF RICE.

>> WE´RE BOTH TO BLAME FOR THIS.

>> WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

>> WHEREVER I WANT.

>> DR. TROY, DR. McNAMARA, I´M

READY FOR YOU NOW.

>> ♫ MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL ♫

♫ MAKE ME

THE PERFECT SOUL

THE PERFECT MIND

A PERFECT FACE

A PERFECT LIFE ♫

>> SO, UH, WHAT´S THEIR STORY?

>> OH, I CAN´T REALLY TALK

ABOUT THAT.

>> WE UNDERSTAND. WE´RE DOCTORS,

TOO. PLASTIC SURGEONS.

>> AHEM.

>> NOT LIKE WE´RE A COUPLE OR

ANYTHING.

>> MY PRACTICE SPECIALIZES IN

COUPLE AND GROUP THERAPY. THAT

CAN MEAN HUSBANDS AND WIVES,

LOVERS, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,

OR PEOPLE IN A PROFESSIONAL

RELATIONSHIP. YOU´D BE SURPRISED

HOW MANY BUSINESS PARTNERS

I SEE. SO HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO

BEEN WORKING TOGETHER?

>> 20 YEARS.

>> IS THAT LONG? I MEAN,

COMPARED TO YOUR OTHER CLIENTS?

>> WHY DID YOU DECIDE YOU

SUDDENLY NEEDED THERAPY?

YOU MUST KNOW EACH OTHER VERY

WELL. PROBABLY BECOME PRETTY

ADEPT AT SELF-SOLVING.

>> WE´VE HAD OUR FIGHTS, JUST

LIKE ANYBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW,

BUT WE MANAGE TO WORK THEM OUT.

FRANKLY, I THINK WE COULD FIX

THIS WITH A WEEK IN CABO, BUT HE

THINKS OUR MONEY´S BETTER SPENT,

UH, ON YOU.

>> NOW WHY DID YOU THINK THAT,

DR. McNAMARA? ARE THINGS THE

WORST THEY´VE EVER BEEN?

>> NO.

HEH! HE WAS MARRIED TO THIS

WOMAN. HER NAME´S JULIA. THEY

HAD A SON TOGETHER--MATT. A FEW

YEARS AGO, WE FOUND OUT THAT

MATT WAS ACTUALLY MY SON, AND

HE DECIDED TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT

OF ME IN THE SCRUB ROOM.

I THINK THAT WAS THE WORST.

>> USUALLY, WHEN COUPLES SEEK

THERAPY,

IT´S WHEN THINGS ARE AT THEIR

BLEAKEST, WHEN ALL HOPE SEEMS

LOST. IS THAT THE WAY YOU FEEL,

DR. McNAMARA?

>> SOMETIMES.

>> I DON´T. I WANT THINGS TO GO

BACK TO EXACTLY THE WAY THEY

WERE BEFORE. I LOVE HIM.

I MISS HIM.

>> DO YOU LOVE DR. TROY?

>> I DO. HE´S LIKE THE BROTHER

I NEVER HAD.

>> SOMETIMES FAMILY CAN BE VERY

DIFFICULT. WHEN WE DESCRIBE A

FRIEND AS A FAMILY MEMBER,

SOMETIMES WE´RE SAYING WE LOVE

THEM IN SPITE OF THEMSELVES,

THAT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO

LOVE THEM.

DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE A CHOICE

TO LOVE DR. TROY?

>> OF COURSE I DO.

[SCOFFS]

>> I WANT TO TRY AN EXERCISE

WITH YOU.

I WANT YOU TO DRAW YOUR

FAMILIES. DOESN´T HAVE TO BE A

DEGAS. JUST DRAW WHATEVER YOU

FEEL.

>> THANK YOU.

AHEM.

>> CHRISTIAN?

>> THAT´S, UH, SEAN AND THAT´S

ME.

>> THAT´S IT? WHERE ARE YOUR

KIDS?

>> I DON´T KNOW. SLEEPING IN

>> WELL, THAT´S NOT YOUR FAMILY.

>> HEY, DON´T JUDGE MY PICTURE.

LET´S SEE YOURS.

>> IS THAT YOUR WIFE AND

CHILDREN?

>> YES.

>> THEY DON´T LIVE WITH YOU?

>> NO, THEY LIVE WITH HER IN

NEW YORK. HOW´D YOU KNOW THAT?

>> EVERYONE´S HANDS ARE

TOUCHING EXCEPT YOURS.

>> YOU PUT YOUR EX-WIFE IN YOUR

IN IT.

>> NOW YOU´RE JUDGING MY

PICTURE.

>> I´M JUST SAYING.

>> IT IS INTERESTING THAT A FEW

MINUTES AGO YOU DESCRIBED

DR. TROY AS YOUR BROTHER, THEN

YOU NEGLECTED TO INCLUDE HIM IN

YOUR FAMILY PORTRAIT.

>> WELL, A FEW MONTHS AGO,

I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE INCLUDED

HIM.

>> WHAT´S HAPPENED? CERTAINLY

NOTHING WORSE THAN DISCOVERING

HE, UH, FATHERED YOUR FIRSTBORN.

>> IT´S NOTHING BIG OR SPECIFIC

LIKE THAT. I JUST FEEL WORN DOWN

BY HIM. HE SUCKS ALL THE AIR

OUT OF THE ROOM. HE´S, UH...

HOW DO I PUT THIS DELICATELY?

CHRISTIAN IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

>> VERY DELICATE.

>> YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE YOUR

MORAL CODE, BUT LET´S FACE IT.

YOU´RE WILLING TO DO SOME

PRETTY HORRIBLE THINGS IN THE

NAME OF SELF-INTEREST.

>> YOU KNOW, IF WE´RE TALKING

ABOUT THE SAME THINGS, THEN YOU

JUST NOT ASHAMED OF MYSELF.

HAVE DONE THOSE THINGS IF YOU

>> HEH HEH!

>> WE HAVE THIS JOKE THAT OUR

MOUTH OF HELL. WELL, IF THAT´S

TRUE, HE´S THE DEVIL.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW

BORING YOUR LIFE WOULD BE IF I

WASN´T IN IT?

>> THIS IS WHAT YOU DO. YOU

DIMINISH ME SO THAT I NEED YOU.

>> IS THIS WHY WE´RE GIVING

YOU CAN PLAY THE VICTIM? I MEAN,

SERIOUSLY, TALK ABOUT SUCKING

I MEAN, HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING

TO KEEP BLAMING ME FOR HOW MUCH

>> LET´S SLOW DOWN FOR A SEC--

SLOW DOWN. I WANT TO KNOW

SOMETHING FIRST. WHY DIDN´T YOU

>> I TOLD YOU.

>> NO, YOU DIDN´T TELL ME. WHAT

>> NOTHING. THAT´S THE POINT.

THIS RELATIONSHIP NEVER CHANGES.

I´M JUST WAKING UP TO THE FACT

THAT IT DOESN´T WORK, THAT MAYBE

IT NEVER WORKED.

>> YOU GUYS UP FOR ANOTHER

EXERCISE?

>> [SCOFFS]

WHAT IS THIS, PRE-SCHOOL?

>> YOU´RE BOTH HIGHLY

INTELLIGENT, EDUCATED MEN.

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TRICK PEOPLE

LIKE YOU. NO, CHECK THAT. YOU

HAVE TO TRICK YOURSELVES INTO

GETTING PAST YOUR REALLY GOOD

BULLSHIT. YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS.

WRITE DOWN EVERY WORD YOU CAN

THINK OF TO DESCRIBE YOUR

PARTNER.

GO.

OK, TIME´S UP.

DR. McNAMARA, THIS TIME

YOU GO FIRST.

>> "TALL, ARROGANT, PEACOCK,

WOMANIZER, CLOTHES WHORE,

SURGEON, DAMAGED, DANGEROUS,

ASSHOLE."

>> DR. TROY, ANY THOUGHTS?

>> UH, HARD TO ARGUE WITH ANY

OF THOSE.

>> WHAT ABOUT YOURS?

>> WHAT?

>> YOU THINK DR. McNAMARA HAS A

DRINKING PROBLEM?

>> NO, BUT I THINK HE´S AN

ALCOHOLIC.

>> WHAT´S THE DIFFERENCE?

>> THE DIFFERENCE IS PEOPLE WITH

DRINKING PROBLEMS CAN´T STOP

DRINKING. YOU ABUSE IT.

YOU SELF-MEDICATE.

>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU

HAD A DRINK?

>> HEH! BEFORE HE CAME IN HERE.

I COULD SMELL IT ON HIS BREATH

ON THE WAY OVER. HE KEEPS A

BOTTLE OF VODKA UNDER HIS FISH

TANK.

>> ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF

DRINKING BEFORE SURGERY?

>> NO, BUT AFTER.

>> WE DEAL IN MICRO-MILLIMETERS

OVER THE COURSE OF 6 TO 8 HOURS.

IT´S VERY HARD TO LET GO AFTER

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> NOT ALL SURGEONS DRINK.

>> NO. SOME TAKE PILLS. SOME

SCREW THE GIRLS WHO WATER THE

FICUS PLANT.

>> HEH HEH! YOU KNOW, IT´S NOT

JUST THE DRINKING. YOU BEHAVE

LIKE AN ALCOHOLIC, OK? YOU ACT

OUT AND THEN YOU´LL APOLOGIZE,

AND YOU EXPECT EVERYBODY TO

FORGIVE YOU.

HE DOESN´T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

FOR ANYTHING IN HIS LIFE. JULIA

IS A CRAZY DYKE, MATT´S GOT MY

GENES, I´M THE DEVIL, AS YOU

JUST HEARD.

THE ONE COMMON THREAD IN ALL

OF THIS...IS YOU.

>> YOU NEED ME.

>> NO, I DON´T NEED YOU. I´M

A HELL OF A SURGEON MYSELF, OK?

THE ONLY REASON I´M WITH HIM IS

>> WHY? SOMETIMES THE FASTEST

WAY TO GET TO THE TRUTH IS TO

ASK THE SIMPLEST QUESTIONS.

WHY DO YOU STAY TOGETHER?

IS IT MONEY? LOYALTY? HABIT?

>> NO, NO, NO. THAT´S NOT MY

STYLE. I KNOW WHEN THE PARTY´S

OVER AN HOUR BEFORE EVERYBODY

ELSE DOES.

>> THEN WHY?

>> WE´RE A GOOD TEAM. SEAN´S A

HELL OF A SURGEON, YOU KNOW?

I´M--I´M INSPIRED BY HIM.

>> ARE YOU INSPIRED BY DR. TROY?

>> NOT REALLY.

>> HMMH!

>> YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE ARE

THINGS THAT I ENVY ABOUT HIM,

ALL THE WOMEN, BUT WHENEVER I

TRY THOSE THINGS, I SEE HOW

EMPTY THEY ARE AND THAT REALLY

HE´S JUST SEARCHING FOR

SOMETHING I ALREADY HAVE.

>> AND WHAT´S THAT?

>> WELL, A CENTER, A PURPOSE.

>> AND WHAT PURPOSE IS THAT?

>> YEAH, I WANT TO HEAR THIS.

>> TO HELP PEOPLE, TO BE

A DOCTOR, TO HEAL.

>> [SCOFFS]

THAT IS SUCH BULLSHIT. HE WANTS

THE BABES AND THE BOOZE JUST AS

MUCH, IF NOT MORE, THAN I DO.

>> IT IS KIND OF INTERESTING

THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THAT PURPOSE

AND YET CHOOSE TO BE A

COSMETIC SURGEON.

>> BELIEVE ME, I´VE HAD SOME

SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT THAT

DECISION LATELY.

>> HERE WE GO AGAIN. HE´S BEEN

SINGING THE SAME TUNE FOR THE

>> WELL, MAYBE THIS TIME IT´S

>> IT ISN´T.

>> NOW, THIS IS WHAT HE DOES.

I AM, THEN THE SECOND I TRY TO

SET SOME BOUNDARIES BETWEEN US,

HE YANKS ME RIGHT BACK IN.

>> DO YOU HAVE BOUNDARY ISSUES,

DR. TROY?

>> WHEN WE LIVED TOGETHER, HE

THOUGHT NOTHING OF COMING INTO

MY ROOM AT ANY HOUR JUST BECAUSE

HE FELT LIKE TALKING.

>> IS IT WRONG TO WANT TO SHOOT

>> MY DOOR WAS CLOSED.

>> JUST ANSWER ME. IS IT?

>> YOU´RE INVADING MY PRIVATE

SPACE.

>> I ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE

WHATEVER.

>> ALL HIS HOMES HAVE VERY FEW

WALLS. IT´S LIKE HE NEEDS TO SEE

YOU ALL THE TIME TO MAKE SURE

YOU´RE STILL THERE. I ASSUME

IT´S BECAUSE HE WAS BROUGHT UP

IN FOSTER CARE, BUT IT´S

EXHAUSTING!

>> BUT YOU MUST HAVE LIKED BEING

NEEDED IN THAT WAY,

DR. McNAMARA. I MEAN, TO BE IN

A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE SO

SPECIFICALLY NEEDY.

>> YOU KEEP ASKING ABOUT THE

PAST, BUT CAN´T PEOPLE CHANGE?

CAN´T I WAKE UP ONE DAY AND

REALIZE I DON´T WANT TO BE THAT

DONE?

>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DONE?

AREN´T WE GONNA SAVE THIS?

>> WELL, YOU MIGHT BE.

I´M HERE TO END IT.

>> I KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA.

REMEMBER THAT STORY ABOUT THE

CHICK WHO, UH, COULD FEEL A PEA

UNDER ALL THOSE MATTRESSES?

>> YOU´RE SAYING I´M A PRINCESS?

>> NO. WE ARE. OUR RELATIONSHIP

IS. THE ONE THING THAT SCREWS

US UP IS, UH...SECRETS.

THAT´S OUR PEA.

>> I DON´T HAVE A SECRET.

>> NO, BUT I DO.

AND IT´S KIND OF...

I HATE LYING TO YOU.

>> WHAT DID YOU DO?

>> IT´S FUNNY BECAUSE AT THE END

OF THE DAY, IT´S REALLY NO BIG

AGO, WHEN I WAS HAVING SOME TAX

PROBLEMS AND I WANTED TO TAKE

OUT A LOAN AGAINST THE BUSINESS?

>> AND I SAID NO.

>> WELL, I DID IT ANYWAY.

I WAS DESPERATE.

>> HOW? YOU NEEDED MY SIGNATURE

ON THE FORMS.

>> I FORGED IT.

>> YOU RISKED EVERYTHING?

20 YEARS OF MY HARD WORK?

I COULD HAVE LOST IT ALL!

>> LOOK, I KNOW IT WAS WRONG

AND I SHOULD HAVE...

>> THANK YOU, DOCTOR. I WANTED

OUT OF THIS, BUT NOW I CAN LEAVE

WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.

ANY CONTACT YOU WANT WITH ME

SHOULD BE THROUGH MY LAWYER.

>> RELAX, OK? HE´S GONNA SHOW

UP.

>> HE´S PROBABLY HAVING TOO MUCH

FUN JERKING OFF IMAGINING ALL

THE WAYS THAT I´VE SCREWED HIM.

>> LOOK, I WOULDN´T HAVE AGREED

TO COME HERE IF HE HAD OBJECTED,

WHICH HE DIDN´T.

>> YOU LEFT HIM A MESSAGE.

HE TEXTED YOU BACK, SAYING,

"WHATEVER."

>> HE COULD HAVE SAID NO.

>> [SIGHS]

LIZZIE, I LOVE YOU, BUT YOU

YOU THINK YOU ARE. THE GUY´S

BEEN MISSING IN ACTION FOR A

WEEK. I HAD TO RESCHEDULE 9

SURGERIES. "SORRY, MR. ORTIZ.

YOU´LL HAVE TO LIVE ANOTHER WEEK

WITH THAT HONKIN´ SCHNOZ OF

YOURS BECAUSE DR. McNAMARA´S

AT HOME, FESTERING."

>> AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

>> I´M EXPRESSING MY ANGER, OK?

I´M NOT SOME BABY POUTING IN

HIS SHIT.

>> NO, YOU´RE HAVING A TANTRUM

AND YOU´RE THROWING IT ALL

AGAINST THE WALLS.

>> HEY. THANKS FOR DOING THIS.

>> BACK AT YA.

>> I´M GLAD YOU CAME, TOO.

>> I FIGURE IF I´M GONNA SUE

YOU, I SHOULD TELL YOU IN

PERSON.

>> SO, LAST WEEK ENDED ON QUITE

A NOTE.

>> HERE, SEAN.

>> I´M NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT

YOU HAVE TO SAY. SAVE IT FOR

YOUR LAWYER.

>> JUST TAKE IT.

>> $256,000?

>> I TOLD YOU I WAS TEMPORARILY

CASH-POOR. IT WAS AN EMERGENCY.

I´M PAYING YOU BACK, WITH

INTEREST.

>> WHAT ABOUT THIS STRIKES YOU

AS FUNNY, SEAN?

>> OH, IT´S JUST SO CLASSIC,

YOU KNOW? HE TOTALS YOUR LIFE

AND THEN OFFERS TO PAY FOR THE

REPAIRS. MONEY FIXES EVERYTHING.

SAVES HIM THE TROUBLE OF HAVING

A CONSCIENCE.

>> AND HE´S A PRICK.

>> [CHUCKLES]

>> WAS THIS CHECK INTENDED TO

FIX EVERYTHING?

>> LOOK, WHAT I DID WAS WRONG.

I KNOW THAT, AND I UNDERSTAND

IF HE´S PISSED OR UPSET OR--

>> WAIT. HE CAN CRY REAL TEARS,

TOO, OK? EVERYTHING HE DOES,

EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS ABOUT

GETTING WHAT HE NEEDS, POWER

AND MONEY, AND IT DOESN´T MATTER

WHO HE HURTS OR CHEATS OR KILLS.

>> SO YOU...THINK CHRISTIAN IS

CAPABLE OF KILLING YOU?

>> JESUS, SEAN. YOU REALLY DO

NEED HELP. ARE YOU REALLY THAT

PARANOID?

>> LOOK, I´M JUST SAYING HE

TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR

ANYTHING HE DOES BECAUSE THERE´S

ALWAYS AN EASY WAY OUT.

HE MARRIED LIZ WHEN HE THOUGHT

HE WAS DYING AND NEEDED A

BABY-SITTER FOR HIS KIDS. THEN,

WHEN HE WAS SUDDENLY HEALTHY,

HE DUMPED HER, THEN TRIED TO PAY

HER OFF, AS IF MONEY WOULD

SOMEHOW TAKE AWAY THE PAIN.

YEAH, GO AHEAD. YOU--YOU TELL

HIM, LIZ.

>> I DIDN´T AGREE TO LET

DR. CRUZ JOIN US SO THAT YOU TWO

COULD, UH, PLAY HER AGAINST EACH

OTHER. I WON´T ALLOW YOU TO PUT

HER IN THE MIDDLE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> DR. CRUZ, IS THERE SOMETHING

YOU´D LIKE TO SAY?

>> I GUESS I JUST AM NOT USED

TO FEELING SO, UM, PROTECTED.

I WAS FORCED TO TAKE SIDES

GROWING UP, AND IT WAS A

CONSTANT BATTLEFIELD. IT WAS

JUST--

>> YOU DON´T FEEL PROTECTED AT

WORK?

>> ´COURSE SHE DOES.

>> I´M VERY PROTECTIVE OF LIZ.

>> I WAS ASKING DR. CRUZ.

>> IN THE BEGINNING...

I FELT THAT, UM, SEAN AND

CHRISTIAN WERE FAMILY, YOU KNOW.

BUT THEY HAVE BEEN SO BUSY

HATING EACH OTHER, THE REST OF

US DON´T EVEN EXIST, UNLESS TO

TAKE SIDES. IT´S NEVER ABOUT

WHAT WE NEED, ABOUT WHAT WE

WANT, ABOUT WHAT WE DESERVE FOR

PUTTING UP WITH YOUR BULLSHIT.

>> WELL, THAT´S UNFAIR, LIZ.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT´S UNFAIR, SEAN?

THAT I´VE BEEN WORKING AT

McNAMARA/TROY FOR YEARS, AND

NEITHER OF YOU HAVE EVER COME UP

TO ME AND SAID, "LIZ, WE´D LIKE

TO MAKE YOU A PARTNER. WE WOULD

LIKE FOR YOU TO HAVE PARITY WITH

US BECAUSE YOU WORK SO HARD,

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT."

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT´S TIME,

NOW.

I MEAN, MAYBE IT´S THE ONLY WAY

YOU TWO WILL SURVIVE--SHAKING UP

THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL DUO AND

MAKING IT McNAMARA, TROY & CRUZ.

>> [SCOFFS]

LIZZIE--

>> OH, DON´T, DON´T. DON´T

PATRONIZE ME.

>> YOU´RE RIGHT, LIZ. WE SHOULD

HAVE DONE THAT A LONG TIME AGO,

WHEN THERE STILL WAS A

McNAMARA/TROY FOR CRUZ TO JOIN.

>> [SCOFFS]

I ALWAYS CONSIDERED YOU

A PARTNER...

>> OH.

>> IN SPIRIT.

>> SCREW YOU, CHRISTIAN.

>> OH, COME ON. YOU´RE THE ONLY

HOW WE GOT HERE. PLEASE, OK?

HOW TWO BROTHERS COULD--

>> WANT TO KILL EACH OTHER?

HAVE YOU READ THE BIBLE?

BELIEVE ME, WE´RE NOT THE FIRST.

>> DR. CRUZ, WHY DID YOU AGREE

TO COME HERE TODAY?

>> BECAUSE I FIGURED THAT THIS

WOULD BE A SAFE SPACE TO OPEN UP

AND BE HONEST WITH THEM ABOUT

HOW I FELT AND THAT MAYBE, WITH

A PROFESSIONAL PRESENT, I COULD

TELL THEM WHAT SELF-CENTERED,

EGOTISTICAL ASSHOLES THEY ARE.

AND...AND JUST--AND ALSO THAT,

UM...

>> AND WHAT?

>> THAT, UH...

THAT I AM PREGNANT.

>> [CHUCKLES]

SO? CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU WANT MY PERMISSION?

>> IT´S SEAN´S SPERM. AND YOU

KNOW WHAT THEY SAY--YOU´RE ONLY

AS SICK AS YOUR SECRETS, AND I

AM UP-TO-MY-ASS TIRED OF KEEPING

EVERYBODY ELSE´S GODDAMNED

SECRETS. SO I ASKED SEAN AND HE

WAS KIND ENOUGH TO OBLIGE.

>> YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU

HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF AVOIDING

BIRTH DEFECTS WITH HIS SPLOOGE?

>> WELL, AT LEAST I DON´T HAVE

TO BE WORRIED THAT HE´S GONNA

IF IT ISN´T PERFECT.

>> THAT WASN´T THE REASON.

>> NO MATTER WHAT THIS CHILD IS

OR ISN´T, I´M GONNA BE ABLE TO

LOVE IT BECAUSE I HAVE THAT

CAPACITY. THAT´S HOW YOU AND I

ARE DIFFERENT, CHRISTIAN. I CAN

LOVE A THING FOR ITSELF,

IMPERFECTIONS AND ALL.

THEY WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT EACH

OTHER, DOCTOR.

>> JESUS, LIZ. I THOUGHT YOU´D

AT LEAST BE OBJECTIVE. YOU KNOW

I´D BE BETTER OFF ON MY OWN.

>> YOU DON´T EVEN BELIEVE THAT

YOU EXIST WITHOUT CHRISTIAN.

YOU CAN´T TELL WHO YOU ARE, HOW

YOU´RE DOING, WHAT YOU´RE WORTH

WITHOUT COMPARING YOURSELF TO

HIM. THE REST OF US, WHAT ARE

WE? WE´RE JUST ELEVATOR MUSIC.

YOU BOTH DESERVE EACH OTHER.

BUT I´LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU DON´T

DESERVE. YOU DON´T DESERVE ME.

>> HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT

EVERYTHING SHE JUST SAID?

>> SO YOU GIVE LIZ YOUR SPERM

WITHOUT TELLING ME? WHY WOULD

>> SHE ASKED. SHE WANTS

A FAMILY. SHE IS MY FAMILY.

I THOUGHT I COULD HELP HER AND

WE--I--YOU HURT HER SO MUCH,

I THOUGHT IT WAS THE LEAST I

COULD DO.

>> YOU´RE GONNA RAISE ANOTHER

CHILD?

>> [SIGHS]

I SIGNED PAPERS. I HAVE NO LEGAL

RIGHTS AND I AM FINE WITH THAT.

I´M NOT FINE WITH IT.

I SCREWED UP. I GAVE IT TO HER.

I THOUGHT BECAUSE OF HER AGE,

IT WOULD NEVER TAKE, BUT THE

DRUGS AND THE...OH, JESUS.

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

I DON´T WANT ANOTHER KID.

I JUST WANTED HER TO BE HAPPY.

>> ANYTHING ELSE YOU´RE HIDING?

AT LEAST I PAID BACK WHAT I

BORROWED.

>> STOLE, EMBEZZLED, NOT

BORROWED.

>> BUT I´M SQUEAKY CLEAN NOW,

AREN´T I?

ANYTHING ELSE YOU´RE KEEPING

FROM ME?

>> I´M AFRAID WE´LL HAVE TO

STOP. THAT´S ALL WE HAVE TIME

FOR TODAY.

>> YOU´RE SHITTIN´ ME.

HERE.

FOR A DOUBLE SESSION.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

>> I HAVE ANOTHER PATIENT.

>> I´LL PAY FOR THEIR MAKEUP

SESSION, TOO. YOU CAN KEEP THAT

CHANGE AS WELL.

>> MAYBE DR. GRIFFIN WOULD LIKE

A PROSTITUTE. WORKED SO WELL

WITH ME. REMEMBER WHEN YOU GOT

MATT ONE?

>> LOOK, I´M SURE YOU HAVE

PATIENTS WHO SOMETIMES NEED

EXTRA TIME, SO YOU FIGURE THINGS

OUT SO THEY CAN CONTINUE. YOU

KNOW, I´M A DOCTOR. I KNOW HOW

THIS WORKS.

>> YOUR HOUR IS OVER, DR. TROY.

I CAN SEE YOU AND DR. McNAMARA

NEXT WEEK AT THE SAME TIME

IF YOU´D LIKE.

>> IF I´D LIKE? WHAT I´D LIKE

TO DO IS STICK MY SHINY, POINTY

SHOE UP YOUR SMUG, ENLIGHTENED

ASS. THAT´S WHAT I´D LIKE TO DO.

AND YOU, BUDDY BOY? YOU CAN

SUE ME AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.

YOU HURT ME, YOU HURT YOURSELF.

AND REMEMBER...

I KNOW WHERE ALL THE BODIES ARE

BURIED.

>> WOW.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR. NOW THAT

YOU´VE SEEN CHRISTIAN TROY IN

ACTION, IS THERE REALLY ANY

POINT IN ANOTHER SESSION?

>> I´LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE.

>> IT´S GOING STRAIGHT TO

VOICE MAIL.

>> YOU DIDN´T LEAVE A MESSAGE?

>> WELL, HE´S 20 MINUTES LATE.

WHAT AM I GONNA SAY TO HIM,

>> I´LL CALL. SOMETIMES WHEN HE

SEES YOUR NUMBER, HE DOESN´T

ANSWER.

>> SO NOW IT´S MY FAULT?

>> OH, I DON´T KNOW. MAYBE YOU

GAVE HIM THE WRONG ADDRESS, THE

WRONG TIME.

>> IS THIS TYPICAL BEHAVIOR?

>> FOR MATT, YES. HE´S MADE

A CAREER OUT OF BEING

IRRESPONSIBLE.

>> I MEAN FOR THE TWO OF YOU.

YOU´RE VERY DIVIDED ON HOW TO

DEAL WITH YOUR SON RIGHT NOW.

IS THAT USUALLY THE CASE?

>> USUALLY CHRISTIAN WILL BERATE

HIM OR PUT HIM DOWN.

>> IF HE COULD DO SOMETHING

I COULD BE PROUD OF EVERY ONCE

IN A WHILE, THEN IT´D BE

DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW?

>> THIS IS GOOD. THIS IS

IMPORTANT. THE MAIN REASON WE

INVITED YOUR SON HERE IS TO

OBSERVE HOW YOUR CO-PARENTING

HAS BECOME ONE OF YOUR CORE

ISSUES. IT´S A CHANCE TO WORK

ON IT. SEAN, UH, IS THERE

ANYTHING THAT CHRISTIAN HAS DONE

FOR MATT AS A FATHER THAT YOU DO

APPRECIATE?

>> HOW ABOUT YOU, CHRISTIAN?

HAVE YOU EVER THANKED SEAN FOR

RAISING YOUR SON ALL THOSE

YEARS?

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD. A LOT OF

TIMES, WHEN WE FOCUS ON WHAT´S

GOOD INSTEAD OF WHAT´S WRONG,

WE CAN CHANGE OUR RESPONSE TO

THE SITUATION AND THEN TO EACH

OTHER. CAN WE TRY THAT?

>> SURE.

[SIGHS]

I APPRECIATE THE, UM, THE WAY

THAT YOU RAISED MATT OVER ALL

THOSE YEARS, AND I THINK YOU DID

A GREAT JOB.

>> AND I THINK YOU DO THE BEST

YOU CAN WITH HIM...

WHEN YOU WANT TO.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

>> OH, MATTY, COME ON IN.

YOU´RE ONLY A HALF-HOUR LATE.

>> WE TRIED CALLING. WHY DIDN´T

YOU ANSWER?

>> MATT, I´M DR. GRIFFIN.

THANKS FOR COMING.

>> PLEASURE.

>> AND THIS IS?

>> UH, RAMONA.

>> IT´S NICE TO MEET YOU.

>> YOU KNEW THIS WASN´T A LUNCH

DATE. WHY´D YOU BRING A

GIRLFRIEND?

>> WELL, BECAUSE SHE´S NOT MY

GIRLFRIEND ANYMORE. SHE´S MY

FIANCEE.

>> CONGRATULATIONS. I GUESS THE

NEXT QUESTION IS, "HOW FAR ALONG

ARE YOU, SWEETIE PIE?"

>> YOU MUST BE CHRISTIAN. MATT

SAID THAT YOU WOULD BE THE FIRST

ONE TO SAY SOMETHING

INAPPROPRIATE.

>> RAMONA, I´M SEAN. IT´S NICE

TO MEET YOU.

>> NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.

>> BUT, UM...WHY DIDN´T YOU LET

US KNOW ABOUT THIS EARLIER?

>> WELL, WHY? DID I NEED TO GET

YOUR APPROVAL FIRST?

>> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF

WE´D MET HER BEFORE.

>> YEAH, AND NOW YOU HAVE.

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MATT?

YOU KNEW THIS SESSION WAS

IMPORTANT TO US. YOU HAD TO

SPRING THIS ON US HERE, NOW?

>> UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WASN´T

GONNA BE A BETTER TIME. WE´VE

BEEN PACKING SINCE LAST WEEK

AND WE MAKE THE MOVE TOMORROW.

>> OOH, WOW. YOU´RE MOVING. LET

ME GUESS. SKID ROW HAS

A VACANCY?

>> MATT, UH, SINCE SEAN AND

CHRISTIAN INVITED ONLY YOU TO

JOIN THE SESSION, I´LL HAVE TO

ASK RAMONA TO WAIT OUTSIDE.

>> WELL, I´D REALLY LIKE HER TO

STAY, ACTUALLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE

IT MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME THEY

EVER SEE US.

>> WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> HEH HEH!

>> JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT,

BABY.

>> YEAH. UM, YOU KNOW WHAT?

UH, LET´S SIT FIRST, YEAH?

UM...

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS SUDDEN,

BUT I´VE ACTUALLY BEEN THINKING

ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE. AFTER

RAMONA AND I ARE MARRIED, WE´RE

GONNA MOVE OUT TO VICTORVILLE.

I´M GONNA WORK FOR HER FATHER

IN HIS CARPET BUSINESS AND TAKE

OVER PAYMENTS ON THEIR HOUSE.

JENNA ALREADY HAS A ROOM THERE,

AND, UH...

WELL...

>> MATT DOESN´T WANT EITHER OF

YOU IN HIS LIFE ANYMORE, AND

ONCE WE LEAVE, HE´D NO LONGER

LIKE TO STAY IN CONTACT.

>> OK. FINE BY ME.

>> WELL, HOLD ON A SECOND.

>> OH, COME ON. LET IT GO.

TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS, AND

BEGGING FOR A HANDOUT.

>> YOU´D LIKE TO THINK THAT,

WOULDN´T YOU?

>> ISN´T THIS EXACTLY WHAT YOU

SAID BEFORE YOU BECAME ADDICTED

TO METH, GOT MARRIED TO KIMBER,

DRESSED UP AS A MIME, AND

STARTED ROBBING DELIS?

YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND HAS QUITE A

PAST, JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN´T

HEARD.

>> MATT´S ACTUALLY TOLD ME ALL

ABOUT HIS PAST. YOU´RE NOT

SCARING ME, IF THAT´S WHAT

YOU´RE TRYING TO DO.

>> REALLY? SWEETIE PIE...

HAS HE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING?

>> MOSTLY ABOUT HOW, DESPITE THE

FACT THAT HE HAS TWO FATHERS,

HE´S BEEN MADE TO FEEL WORTHLESS

ALL OF THE TIME. AND THAT EVEN

WHEN HE TRIES HIS HARDEST TO DO

GOOD, YOU BOTH MAKE HIM FEEL

LIKE SHIT.

>> IS THAT HOW YOU REALLY FEEL

ABOUT US? YOU DON´T WANT US IN

YOUR LIFE AT ALL? MATT, WE LOVE

YOU. YOU´RE OUR SON.

>> I´M YOUR PUNCHING BAG.

NOTHING´S EVER GONE RIGHT FOR

ME. YOU KNOW, I´VE ALWAYS BEEN

LOOKING FOR STABILITY AND I

THINK I´VE FINALLY FOUND IT

NOW, AND I DON´T WANT TO SCREW

THAT UP. AND LEAVING IS THE

ONLY WAY THAT´S GONNA WORK.

I NEED TO BE AROUND PEOPLE WHO

SUPPORT ME.

>> HEY, DON´T LET THE DOOR HIT

YOU ON THE WAY OUT.

>> THANK YOU. YOU JUST MADE

THIS WHOLE THING SO MUCH EASIER

FOR ME. COME ON, BABY. LET´S GO.

>> MATT, WAIT.

>> SEAN, LET HIM GO.

>> WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS.

[DOOR CLOSES]

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO

NONCHALANT? YOU SHOULD BE TRYING

TO STOP HIM. THAT´S WHAT HE

WANTS YOU TO DO. CAN´T YOU

SEE THAT?

>> SEAN, IF YOU´D LIKE TO--

>> NO, WHAT I´D LIKE IS FOR HIM

TO STOP BEING SO SMUG AND SHOW

THAT HE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HIS

SON FOR ONCE.

>> THERE YOU GO AGAIN. WHY DON´T

YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR

YOUR OWN FAILURES, HUH, INSTEAD

OF BLAMING ME? MATT WANTS TO

LEAVE US BOTH.

>> OK, HOLD ON. LET´S STOP

ARGUING ABOUT WHO´S AT FAULT

HERE. I´D LIKE TO HELP YOU WORK

TOGETHER SO WE CAN SEE SOME

PROGRESS.

>> THERE´S NO PROGRESS TO BE

MADE. MATT´S NEVER GONNA CHANGE.

SEAN CERTAINLY IS NOT GONNA

CHANGE AND NEITHER AM I.

THE WHOLE THERAPY THING IS

BULLSHIT.

>> YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

>> YES, I DO.

>> BUT ARE YOU AT LEAST WILLING

RELATIONSHIP WITH SEAN TOGETHER?

>> I´M WILLING TO ACCEPT WHO I

SOMEBODY ELSE. MAYBE IF YOU

TRIED THAT ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU

MIGHT NOT BE SO MISERABLE.

>> LIKE WHAT, ACCEPT THAT YOU´RE

AN ASSHOLE?

>> ACCEPT WHO YOU ARE, THAT YOU

CAN´T CHANGE.

>> YOU´RE RIGHT. WE SHOULD STOP

WORKING AT THIS. WE SHOULD JUST

END IT, END US.

>> YOU DON´T WANT TO END THIS

RELATIONSHIP. I AM THE ONLY ONE

WHO´S BEEN ABLE TO PUT UP WITH

YOUR SHIT OVER ALL THESE YEARS.

>> NO, I DO.

>> NO, YOU DON´T.

>> THEN WHY DID I HAVE AN AFFAIR

WITH KIMBER?

>> WHY DID YOU WHAT?

>> WE WERE SLEEPING TOGETHER

FOR ALMOST A MONTH.

>> YOU SLEPT WITH KIMBER WHILE

WE WERE TOGETHER?

>> HOPING YOU´D FIND OUT. THEN

YOU´D HAVE A REASON TO LEAVE ME.

>> YOU REALIZE HOW PATHETIC

YOU ARE? HMM?

USING HER TO GET RID OF ME?

WHY CAN´T YOU BE A MAN AND ASK

FOR WHAT YOU WANT?

>> YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU NOW?

>> SURE. GO AHEAD. YOU WANT TO

LEAVE, JUST LIKE MATT? THERE´S

THE DOOR, MY FRIEND.

NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU.

[DOOR OPENS]

>> DAHLIA, I´M SORRY. WE´RE

RUNNING A LITTLE LATE. COULD

YOU, UH, WAIT OUTSIDE FOR

A FEW MINUTES?

>> NO. THIS CAN´T WAIT.

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

>> IT´S REALLY A MIRACLE.

THE BULLET DIDN´T EVEN CHIP ANY

OF HIS TEETH.

>> NOPE, WENT THROUGH BOTH

CHEEKS, IN AND OUT. HE WAS VERY

LUCKY.

>> YOU WERE BOTH VERY LUCKY

NEITHER OF YOU GOT HIT.

>> WELL, LIKE A LOT OF THINGS,

IT WASN´T MEANT TO BE, I GUESS.

>> WHAT´S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

>> GREAT JOB ON YOUR SIDE, BY

THE WAY. HE´LL NEVER EVEN SEE

A SCAR WHEN IT HEALS.

>> WHAT?

>> I´M SAYING I´M IMPRESSED.

>> WHY?

>> I´M FOCUSING ON THE GOOD,

LIKE HE SAID. TRYING TO CHANGE

MY RESPONSE TO THE SITUATION.

I FIGURED IT WOULD BE BETTER TO

PAY YOU A COMPLIMENT RIGHT NOW.

>> I´M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR

COMPLIMENTS, ALL RIGHT? WHAT I

WANT RIGHT NOW IS A DECISION.

>> ABOUT WHAT?

>> EITHER YOU´RE STAYING OR

ALL THAT TALK, AFTER ALL THAT

THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE, I WANT TO

KNOW WHERE WE STAND.

>> MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT

THIS--

>> NO MORE TALKING. THERE HAS

BEEN SO MUCH TALKING I´M

EXHAUSTED, ALL RIGHT? YOU NEED

TO MAKE A DECISION, AND YOU NEED

TO MAKE IT SOON. I´LL TELL YOU

WHAT, YOU MAKE A DECISION BY

5:00 THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE,

I´LL MAKE ONE FOR YOU, HUH?

HOW´S THAT FOR CLARITY?

[SLAMS DOWN INSTRUMENT,

>> HI.

>> HI. AHEM.

>> OK, SO JUST LET ME ASK. AM I

GONNA HAVE TO LOOK FOR A NEW

JOB?

>> I CAN´T SEE WHY. SEAN´S

GONNA HAVE TO WORK SOMEWHERE IF

HE LEAVES. I´M SURE HE´LL TAKE

YOU WITH HIM, MAYBE EVEN GIVE

YOU THAT, UH, PARTNERSHIP

YOU´RE LOOKING FOR.

>> SO WHO´S TO SAY, IF YOU TWO

WERE TO SPLIT UP, I WOULD GO

WITH SEAN?

>> I THINK YOU MADE THAT CLEAR

WHEN YOU CHOSE TO USE HIS

MAN JUICE IN YOUR TURKEY BASTER.

>> YOU DON´T GET IT.

>> NO, I GET IT, AND I GET IT

FINE, OK? AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

AFTER THE CRAP THAT I PUT YOU

THROUGH--THE DIVORCE, EVERYTHING

ELSE--HE´S STABLE, YOU KNOW?

[SCOFFS]

AT LEAST HE PRETENDS TO BE

A GOOD GUY.

>> LOOK, I DON´T HAVE TO DEFEND

MY CHOICE TO YOU. IF IT HURTS

THAT I DON´T LIKE YOU BEST OR I

DIDN´T PICK YOU YET AGAIN,

SORRY. I PICKED SEAN BECAUSE,

UNLIKE YOU, HE WON´T TRY TO OWN

ME AND MY BABY. I MEAN, HE DID

THIS FOR ME. HE DOESN´T WANT

ANYTHING BACK. HE KNOWS IT´S

MINE AND HE HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH IT.

>> [SIGHS]

RIGHT. SELFLESS OLD SEAN. AND

THAT´S IT? THAT´S THE WHOLE

REASON THAT YOU PICKED HIM?

>> YES, THAT´S IT, THE WHOLE

REASON I PICKED HIM.

>> WELL, I THINK IT´S BULLSHIT.

IT´S YOUR LITTLE WAY OF HOLDING

IT´S JUST ABOUT YOU, BUT YOU

WITHOUT US?

WHO ARE YOU?

>> MAYBE.

BUT I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT

YOU DISAPPEARING OUT OF MY LIFE.

YOU NEED ME TOO MUCH TO BOLSTER

UP THAT FRAGILE EGO OF YOURS.

WITH SEAN, IT´S DIFFERENT. MAYBE

THIS CONNECTION WILL HELP US TO

STAY CONNECTED. SO WHAT?

IS THAT SO WRONG?

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

>> OH. UH, YOUR RECEPTIONIST

SAID I COULD SEE HIM?

>> IT´LL BE A WHILE BEFORE HE

WAKES UP. AND YOU ARE?

>> OH, I´M THE HUSBAND OF THE

WOMAN WHO SHOT HIM.

RON MARK.

>> I´M SEAN McNAMARA. MY PARTNER

AND I DID THE SURGERY.

I´LL TAKE THIS. THANK YOU.

>> GEE, YOU CAN IMAGINE I FEEL

PRETTY TERRIBLE. DR. GRIFFIN´S

A DECENT MAN, YOU KNOW? HE WAS

JUST TRYING TO HELP.

>> WHERE IS YOUR WIFE, BY THE

WAY? NOWHERE NEAR HERE, I HOPE.

>> SHE´S IN CUSTODY.

I WAS ALWAYS TELLING HER HOW

CRAZY SHE WAS. MADE HER FURIOUS.

NOW I´M WONDERING IF I WAS

ACTUALLY MAKING IT COME TRUE,

YOU KNOW? I MEAN, COULD I HAVE

DRIVEN HER CRAZY?

>> WELL, IT´S A CHICKEN AND EGG

KIND OF QUESTION, YOU KNOW?

I THINK YOU´LL MAKE YOURSELF

CRAZY TRYING TO GET TO THE

BOTTOM OF THAT.

>> YOU KNOW THE REAL IRONY OF IT

ALL? SHE´LL PROBABLY USE

INSANITY AS HER DEFENSE.

MAN. IF I COULD JUST TURN THE

CLOCK BACK AND DO THAT LAST

SESSION OVER AGAIN.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU DO

DIFFERENTLY?

>> I´D TRY TO SEE MYSELF THROUGH

HER EYES. YOU KNOW, I WENT IN

THERE WITH AN AGENDA. I WASN´T

BEING OPEN. I WASN´T BEING

HONEST. I WAS JUST PLAYING THE

SAME OLD GAMES, TALKING IN

SPORTS METAPHORS WHICH MAKE HER

CRAZY, PLAYING THE WOUNDED

PARTY, MAKING HER FEEL LIKE

A MONSTER, AND THEN--BAM--

I THROW DIVORCE PAPERS AT HER.

>> SHE TOOK A GUN AND SHE TRIED

TO KILL HER THERAPIST. THAT´S

NOT WITHIN ANY REASONABLE RANGE

OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR I´M AWARE OF.

[SIGHS]

WELL...I´LL TELL HIM

YOU STOPPED BY.

>> THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, NO ONE´S EVER TOTALLY

WITHOUT BLAME. NO ONE.

>> I´D LIKE TO KILL HIM. I´D

LIKE TO TAKE A GUN AND I´D LIKE

TO SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD. NO,

SCRATCH THAT. I´D LIKE TO TAKE

A KNIFE...SLICE HIS BALLS OFF.

THAT´S WHAT I´D LIKE TO DO.

YOU´RE A THERAPIST. I CAN SAY

THAT KIND OF SHIT AND YOU´RE NOT

I MEAN, YOU KNOW WHAT I´M

TALKING ABOUT. I´M JUST ANGRY,

THAT´S ALL.

>> I THINK I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN FEELINGS AND FACT.

>> TEN MINUTES LATE AT THIS

POINT IN THE GAME? HE´S SO

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE, IT MAKES ME

SICK.

>> IS IT A PATTERN? DO YOU FEEL

LIKE HE´S ALWAYS KEEPING YOU

WAITING?

>> IT´S KIND OF BECOME THAT WAY,

I MUST SAY. I MEAN, HE DOESN´T

KNOW WHAT HE´S DOING.

>> SO, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU´RE

MORE CERTAIN OF WANTING THE

RELATIONSHIP TO CONTINUE,

WHEREAS YOU SEE...

>> SEAN.

>> SEAN. SORRY. WHEREAS YOU SEE

SEAN AS HAVING ISSUES, SO TO

SPEAK. HAVE I GOT THAT RIGHT?

>> KIND OF.

>> [SIGHS]

>> SPEAK OF THE DEVIL.

>> SORRY. BIG MESS ON WILSHIRE.

>> IT´S ALWAYS SOMETHING, AIN´T

>> HELLO, DOCTOR. I´M SEAN

McNAMARA.

>> KAREN SINGER. NICE TO MEET

YOU.

>> AH. SO--AHEM--HAS HE BEEN

FILLING YOU IN ON WHAT A

SCREWED-UP, PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE

WIMP I AM?

>> IS THAT YOUR PERCEPTION OF

HOW HE VIEWS YOU?

>> OH, I DON´T KNOW. I DON´T

KNOW WHAT´S REAL ABOUT ANYTHING

ANYMORE.

>> HEH! YOU DON´T? WHY DOESN´T

THAT SURPRISE ME?

>> ARE WE GONNA SPEND THE WHOLE

SESSION TAKING POT SHOTS AT

EACH OTHER?

>> I DON´T KNOW.

ARE WE?

>> SO, DOCTORS,

LET´S START AT THE BEGINNING.

TELL ME WHAT YOU DON´T LIKE

ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
