- MALE NARRATOR: Previously on "The Oval"...

- What are you up to?

- I have no idea what you're referring to.

- Why didn't you tell me?! - Tell you what?

- That Sharon was pregnant.

- Come here. I'm really stressed. Come on.

- Kyle cannot be around me, ever.

- You need to know that I'll need a new lead person.

And I want that to be you.

- Donald, please don't do this to us.

- Listen to me, okay.

She can never love me the way that you do.

- He doesn't knock? - What is it, Allan?

- Sorry, sir, the president wanted to speak with you.

- Okay, yeah. - Go on.

I want to talk to him.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Be nice.

- Is there something I can get for you, sir?

- No. - Okay.

I have water, tea, soda.

- No. - Okay.

- I just wanna sit here.

- Okay. - And look at you.

- Okay.

- And study you. - I'm sorry?

- Sorry for what? - You said study me?

I don't understand. - KYLE: Yeah.

I want to see how uncomfortable you are.

- Oh, I'm not uncomfortable, sir.

- You're not? - No, sir.

- You look uncomfortable, Allan.

- Nah, I'm just ahh--I'm just ahh--

- What? - Just a little hot in here.

- Hot? - Yes, sir.

- How? What does hot mean?

- Uh, like, I'm warm.

- Like, you're sexually hot? - [chuckles] No sir.

[clearing throat]

That's not what I mean.

- Well, make yourself clear.

- I'm hot as in, like, the air needs to be turned up

a little bit. - I get that, Allan.

But what's making you that way?

- It's always hot in here, sir.

- It feels fine to me.

- [clearing throat] Well I-- - What did you see?

- Yes sir.

- Who do you talk to? - Sir?

- Outside of here, who do you talk to?

- Nobody, sir. - Come on.

Come on, everybody talks to somebody.

- Uh, my friends. I have a few friends.

But I don't talk to them about anything

that's going on in this place.

- Okay.

Where are you from?

- New York. - New York.

New York. - ALLAN: [chuckling]

- What part? - Long Island, sir.

- KYLE: Long Island, ah. - Yes, sir.

- I see. Well, let me just tell you this.

If I hear a thing about what you didn't see,

you will not have eyes.

- I hear you, sir. - No.

I mean you will not have eyes.

I will literally remove them.

- Yes, sir.

- And keep them in a jar for safekeeping.

- Sir, look,

you don't have to worry about me, okay?

I know my place here. No worries.

- Okay, okay.

That's good because that's gonna keep you alive.

- Hi. - PRISCILLA: Hey, Greg.

- Who's this? - This is Priscilla.

- GREG: Oh, hey. - Hey.

Have you seen Jean?

- No, I've been calling all night.

- So have I.

- GREG: Wait. You haven't seen her either?

- No. I'm getting really worried.

- No, no. Priscilla, something is wrong.

- PRISCILLA: Yeah, it must be.

I'm gonna be getting off soon.

I'm just gonna go by her house.

- No, I'll take off, I'll go over there now.

- Okay, well, can you call me and let me know, please?

- Okay, will do, will do.

- PRISCILLA: Thank you. - No need to. Thank you.

- I know how much you love her.

- Yeah, I do. I'll call you.

- Okay, thank you. Bye.

[sighing]

- Hey.

I said, hi.

Okay, you're right, she is after me.

But you know me, I would never do anything

to hurt you or us.

- Except get your dick -- .

- I didn't. - Oh right, right.

You stopped her mid -- .

- You know how much debt we're in?

Your mother's cancer, the second mortgage.

- So you're blaming my mother's death on this?

- No, no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying.

Please don't do that.

What I am saying is that we both need this job

and we will get through this.

And the First Lady, she asked me

to be her new lead guy.

It's a lot less responsibility and a whole lot more money.

Although, being with the guys now

it's kind of like a demotion.

I'm thinking about taking it.

- Are you that angry with me, Sam?

- What do you mean?

- You do everything by the book.

If an agent gets too close to the lead,

you have them removed,

have them write a full report.

Have you done one on the blow she gave you?

- She didn't give me a--

- Yeah, yeah, see, it's all coming out.

You're mad we don't have kids.

You're mad we don't have sex often.

You're mad about my mother and all the debt.

I...

- That is not fair. I am not. - PRISCILLA: Yes, you are.

'Cause you had so much pride about being debt free.

And you want to be just like your brother Will,

he has all these kids.

And I see it in your eyes every time you're with him.

- Honey...

- You take that job. You do what's best for you.

- I think that this is best for us.

- Sam, there will be no us.

- Cilla, don't say-- - Unh-uh.

- I got Richard trying to have sex with Freda,

I got this creepy ass son of a bitch of a kid,

I know did something to Jean.

I shouldn't even be having to deal with your shit .

I'm just so disappointed in you.

- You want some coffee? - I'm good, thanks.

- You know a watched phone never rings, right?

- If she doesn't call me within the next 30 minutes,

I'm going down there.

- Alright.

I'm going with you. - [phone ringing]

- BOBBY: Lilly? - No, it's Diane.

- Oh, hey.

- DIANE: Is she not with you? - No, she went home.

- DIANE: Really? - Yeah.

- So, she's in? - BOBBY: She's in.

- Good, I'm going in too. - BOBBY: What do you mean?

- Donald called me and wants to meet with me.

So I'm going to the White House.

- Okay.

- DIANE: I think having all angles working for us

will be best.

- Yeah, I think it'd be good too.

Because you're being followed.

- Yeah, I know.

- BOBBY: They're just waiting for the right time.

- I thought about that. And that's why I think it's

best if I get back in good with them.

- Make them think I'm on board.

- Yeah, you get it. - Yeah, I do.

- DIANE: Look Bobby, I know this is dangerous.

- Then you check in on this scrambled line everyday.

- DIANE: I promise I will. Twice a day.

- BOBBY: Yeah, you got it.

- I'll give you a call, let you know how things go.

Okay? - Okay.

- Bobby, we're gonna take this son of a bitch down.

- BOBBY: I know.

[sighs]

- She shouldn't be too eager. - Yeah, I know.

- And neither should you. - I get that.

- And where are you going? - I'm gonna go check on her.

- Alright.

- BOBBY: Woah, what are you doing?

- Coming with you, what do you think?

- Nah, I think you should sit this one out.

- Yeah, well, I'm not sitting this out.

I'm in this too.

- Whatever, man.

- Jean?

Jean?!

Jean?!

Priscilla... - PRISCILLA: Yeah?

- I'm at her house. - PRISCILLA: Is she there?

- The place is torn apart. - PRISCILLA: What?

- Yes.

- PRISCILLA: Did you touch anything?

- No, no, I just opened the door.

- PRISCILLA: Okay, call the police.

- Ahh.

- PRISCILLA: What? Why?

- You know I've been locked up before.

- PRISCILLA: Okay, sure.

- Thank you. Look, I'm really worried. This is crazy.

- PRISCILLA: I know. But get out of there.

- Okay.

- You're getting the hang of it pretty quick.

- Thanks.

- So I want to ask you something.

- Okay.

- Can you tell me more about the location of that cult?

- Oh, I could draw you a map or something maybe.

- You know exactly where they are?

- No.

I just kind of know the general area where they are.

- What do you know about them?

- Well, there are a lot of rumors

and I don't get into those.

- Well, can you tell me about what you've seen, then?

- Yeah, um, so they would just come into the store

where I worked a lot. - Yeah?

- DALE: The women. Yeah.

And they would--they would just buy

the same thing and try to recruit young girls.

- Really? - Yeah.

- What did they want them for? - That gets into the rumors.

- Right, sorry. - No, it's okay.

I just would hate to say something that wasn't true

and then get-- - No, I, I, I understand.

- Okay, glad you understand. - Sure.

Um, you can take a break if you want.

- No, I'm good. - Okay. You did pretty good.

Let me show you a few things,

help you restock better, okay?

- Okay.

- SHARON: This you wanna put here. And then--

- I think someone's trying to get your attention.

- [sighing]

I'll be right back.

You should not be here. - No, I really think I should.

- And why is that, Barry?

We need to talk.

You don't think he'll call the police?

I don't care what he would do, Sharon.

Oh my God, Barry, why is everything so hard with you?

- There's not something that you want to tell me?

- What?! You obviously want me to say something, what is it?

- Sharon. - What?

You know, I'm not doing this with you. You need to leave.

You already drove through this place.

- And I'm about to drive through it again.

- What is wrong with you?!

- You don't have something

that you want to tell me, Sharon?

What are you talking about now?

When were you gonna tell me you was pregnant?

- Barry...

- No, my mother found the pregnancy test

in the trash can, Sharon.

- You need to leave and leave now.

- When were you gonna tell me?

- Just, you need to go. You need to go.

- Is it mine?

- Who else would be the father?

- I don't know, Sharon.

Don't act like I didn't catch you in there with this clown.

Get your ass out of here now. - I'm not going anywhere!

- How's it going up here? - Oh, good.

I think, Sharon seems to think I got the hang of it.

- That's good, good. Where is Sharon?

- She went outside. - Out the front?

- Yeah, yeah, right out there. - Why?

- Some guy was trying to get her attention

and she went outside.

- Just answer the question, please!

- SHARON: You know what? I'm tired of this!

You always do this! - Tell me what, what do I do?

- SHARON: Just leave, please!

- BARRY: Just tell me, is it mine?

Oh my God. Ms. Nancy, thank God.

- Come on. - Ma, what are you doing here?

- I told you I need you to go down

to the funeral home with me. - And I need to talk to her.

- Barry, let's go.

- BARRY: Ma, she's not answering me.

- Will you just come on? - I'm not going with you, Ma.

- Well, then go home.

- No, she will not tell me who the father is.

- Barry, this is a grown woman.

If she don't want to tell you nothing, she doesn't have to.

- What?!

If this this clown's baby, I need to know that.

What is going on with you and all this attitude?

- You don't see what she's doing?

- What is she doing?

- See, y'all trying to make me seem like I'm crazy

and I am not crazy, okay?

- Barry, nobody's trying to say that.

- Are you gonna tell me or not? - I'm not doing this.

- Sharon... - Don't, boy, don't touch me!

- NANCY: Leave her alone. - You alright?

- Man... - Barry, ah, go home.

- Listen to your mama, Barry. - Boy, I will--

- Get your ass in that car and leave now, I said!

- You're welcome.

Mr. President. - HUNTER: Yes?

- This is Dr. Meadows. - Hi.

- Hi.

When did doctors get so beautiful?

- Excuse me? - Don't mind him.

- Okay. - No, no, please do mind me.

- Sir, we had to pull a lot of strings to get this done--

- Why?

- Dr. Meadows is a very respected psychologist, sir.

Oh, really? - Yes, really.

- So how much did you tell her?

- Not much, sir.

- Um, how is she supposed to help my son

if she doesn't know the truth?

Unless you don't trust her?

- Oh no, I trust her, sir.

You see, Dr. Meadows has taken an oath.

What's been discussed between her and a patient

cannot be discussed without that patient's permission.

And in this case, Jason is a minor, so...

- So, what's to keep her from talking?

- Well, I'm a professional.

- We've hired professionals before, right, Donald?

DONALD: Yes sir, we have.

Didn't work out too well, did it?

Well, you see, sir, Dr. Meadows is the best.

- Hmm.

- And she's worked with quite a few high-profile kids.

Yeah. - Really?

Like who? - Sir, you can't ask her that.

- Come on.

- I can't tell you that, okay?

I can't, nor will I.

I can help your son, that's what's important.

But if there's a problem-- - Oh no, there's no problem.

- With all due respect, I'm in demand and--

- I believe that. - Okay, Mr. President.

- I believe that you're in demand.

- Okay, you know what?

I think this is a really good time for us to meet Jason.

Shall we? - Yeah, I think so.

- Okay. - Thank you.

- As I know you are a very busy man.

- Doing what? - Briefings.

- Oh yeah. - Yeah.

- Have a good day, Dr. Meadows.

- Thank you, you too.

- Bye, Donald. - DONALD: Yeah.

- Hey, hey, hey. You alright?

- Yes.

- Better now, yeah? - Yes, I'm fine, Kareem.

- So you really are pregnant?

- Yeah.

- Damn.

- Don't do that. Don't do that.

- No, I just mean...

I just wish it was mine, Sharon, that's all.

- Kareem...

- Sharon, you deserve better than that, you really do.

- Don't you think I know that?

- If you know it, why do you keep dealing with it?

- I don't know! You don't get it.

- I'm trying to get it. Sharon, help me get it then.

Tell me!

- I don't know, okay? I just love that man, okay?

And when it's good, it's good.

- When was the last time it was good?

- Before Ruth took his daughter.

- Oh, so that's why he's this way?

I'm just saying, I want you to think about things clearly.

Right? - I know.

- Because I love you and I can't stand to see you

miserable every day. - I know.

- And I don't want to keep feeling like this either.

- We've been over this. Over and over.

- Do you love me? - Kareem, not now.

- Do you love me?

You love me.

I think you love me.

- I think we should get back to work.

- I think that you should just move in with me.

- Carrying his child?

- I'll love that child like it's my own,

if it means I get to love you too, Sharon.

- You see. - What?

- That's that corny -- I'm talking about.

- What's corny about me being man enough

to take care of you, Sharon?

- Look, look, we talked about this.

Me up here, you back there. So can you just go please?

Please, just go! - Just wait.

- Boy, go!

- Well, I guess you heard it

so you're in the middle of it now, then.

- So he's just having a little rough time

but you'll see when you meet him.

- Yeah, definitely.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

- This is Dr. Meadows. - Meadows.

- You know her?

- I know her work. How are you?

- I'm well. Thank you.

- So you were sent here to help treat my son?

- Yes.

- Okay, so shall I introduce you?

- No, you know what-- - No, I would like to go alone.

If that's okay?

- Are you sure you want to do that?

- Why, is he dangerous?

- Oh. So no one's told you anything?

- No, not much. I like to assess for myself.

- Girl, okay. - I'm sorry?

- Second door on the right.

- Okay, thank you.

- This is what you send in there to help him?

- Well, she is the best, ma'am.

- That little mother -- is gonna run her crazy.

- [knocking]

- Come in.

- Hi.

- Who are you? - My name is Dr. Meadows.

Your parents asked that I come and talk to you.

- Oh, is that what we're doing?

- I'm not certain of what you mean.

- You come to, uh, to shrink me?

- No, I came to talk to you.

But more than that, I came to listen.

- [scoffs] Nobody listens to me.

- Well, that's changed.

May I sit?

- Who's paying for you?

- That's not important.

- They don't even think enough of me to pay you?

What is this, coded under some taxpayer scheme?

- Wow, you really think they would do that?

- Oh, yeah.

I mean, they'll do anything, as long as it's not good.

- So you don't think that your parents are good people?

- [scoffs]

Are you kidding me?

- Why don't you tell me more about how you feel about that?

- So you're a psychologist?

- Yes. - Okay.

And you've dealt with a lot of people?

- Go ahead. You know what, ask me anything.

- Okay.

I have a lot of questions.

- Sure.

- She's been in there longer than I expected.

- Why is that, ma'am?

- I know my son.

- Is she okay?

- Who's to say?

- [groans]

Ma'am, may I ask you a question?

- Well, sure.

As long as I may ask you a few. - Hey.

Do you enjoy this?

- Enjoy what?

- This, this, all of this chaos and drama

that surrounds you. Do you enjoy it?

- What chaos and drama?

- I see. - You see what?

- Let's just hope she can help him.

- She can't.

She's only been in there this long

because of how she looks.

- Well...

- [chuckles] Oh, so you did this on purpose?

- You know I had to make it appealing for him, ma'am.

- And how many have you made appealing for my husband?

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ma'am,

we're here to talk about your son.

And I've brought the best.

- She is renowned. - Only the best for you.

But she won't be able to help that creepy little bastard.

I'm sorry, ma'am, are we talking about your son?

- You think that's cute?

- No, no, not at all, ma'am.

- How's your beard?

- I shaved this morning, ma'am. - The woman you married.

- What exactly makes you think that I'm gay, ma'am?

- Everything, honey.

- Well, that's not such a bad thing, now is it?

- No, as long as you're not ashamed of it.

- I'm sorry, when I came in with the doctor

you were headed this way. Were you going somewhere?

- To see you. - Really?

And what can I do for you?

- Sam. I want him to lead my team.

- Sam? What? No.

- I want him.

- Oh, you want...

[groans]

I can make that happen for you.

- I thought you could. Thank you.

- Will there be anything else? - No.

- Do you mind if I wait here for her?

- I need you to wait out of my sight.

- Yes, ma'am. Sam.

Oh.

- Goodbye.

- DONALD: I'll check on Sam for you.

- You better hope she comes out of there alive.

- Yes, I have. - So kids?

- Yes. - Like me?

- What does "like you" mean?

- It means--it means messed up in the head.

- Well, I would not say that about you.

Well, that's because you don't know me.

But, you know, I would rather that you wouldn't.

Okay? - I can't stop. I love it.
