All language subtitles for Being Mary Jane s01e04 The Huxtables Have Fallen.eng

Hey, did you see the ratings
from last night?

Yeah.
Great, right?

- We did great numbers.
- Let me get 500 from you.

What happens to the money

that I got the state to pay you
to take care of Mom?

Get out of my face with that.

Look, I know you don't
want me to work with Mark,

but I really don't
have a choice.

I went to Greg to fight for you
to not do Mark's show,

only to find out that you'd
already stabbed me in the back

and used my blood to
ink your new deal.

Every second that I'm standing
here just reminds me

of how desperate I am

to be sleeping with
another woman's husband.

- So what do you want?
- For you to marry me.

All you do is make me cry.

Just say you'd have me.

And they say I'm the one
with a problem.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

What are you doing here?

You screwing married men now?

Why didn't you
ring the doorbell?

I rang the doorbell.

You couldn't hear it with your
head between his legs.

Oh, my God, oh, my God.

Let me get dressed, bro.

We can talk about it.

I said all I need to say.

Good seeing you, Andre.

How do you know my brother?

I used to promote his club.

You're Patrick Patterson's
sister?

Okay.

This isn't funny.

No, baby, it's okay.

No, it's not okay!

None of this is okay.

You and me?

Not okay.

I deserve better than this.

I was raised better than this.

I deserve a man I can
take around my family

or to a company picnic or to
the freaking gas station!

Not okay!

You didn't fix the pool light.

What?

You said it just needed to be screwed
back in, and you didn't do it.

Babe, why are you concerned
with a pool light?

Why are you not concerned
about a pool light?

Anything else you want me to do?

You should have awakened me,
I'd have joined you.

Is that a no?

It's a "not like this."

So we're set.

Mary Jane will do dessert and
Niecy will coordinate food

and I'll deliver the package
at exactly 6:45.

Surprise!

Just practicing,
I love surprise parties.

Keep it down, he'll hear.

Okay, so shall I make my amazing

red velvet cake or my
unbelievable German chocolate?

He loves your German chocolate.

Red Velvet, sweetheart.

It's his favorite.

I'll make both,
so he doesn't have to choose

between amazing and
unbelievable.

Grandma, I need money for
Daddy's gift.

The fact he's living here rent-free
should be all the gift he needs.

Mom, don't worry about it,
I got it.

Got what?

Nothing.

Well, I'm glad you all are here.

I need an eight-letter
word for unfaithful.

Hint... it's not one of
the seven deadly sins.

Mmm, adultery.

Adultery. Why didn't
I think of that?

- Pauletta, why didn't you think of that?
- I don't know, Patrick.

You would think with 42%
of married people

engaged in affairs, and
roughly 20% of the single women

sleeping with married men,

it would be high on my list.

Why?

You having an affair?

Yeah, Patrick.

- You having an affair?
- No, Tracy, no.

Mom, what do you think of
adultery?

I think anyone vile enough

to break their marriage vows,

and anyone stupid
enough to help them,

deserve all the ill will
heaven will spare.

Hey, Patrick,
can I talk to you for a second?

Me?

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

You're out of bounds, Patrick.

I call it fun.

Why has everything always been
so black and white with you?

He's married,
you're screwing him.

I'd say the grays escape me.

Yes, okay, yes, he is married.

But it's not what you think.

Oh, let me guess.

He's gonna leave
his wife for you.

You know what, how much?

How much to buy
your silence, huh?

Well, damn.

Is it that good you're
willing to pay for it?

Yes, yes, it is, so how much?

How about 30 grand?

I know that the way
you've led your life,

you're not used to having
the moral high ground,

but don't be dumb.

Was that a backhanded
crackhead joke?

I believe it was.

Patrick, please,
I am begging you.

Do not tell Mom or Dad about
any of this, please.

What are you doing?

Just stop it.

He says he loves me,
and I believe him.

Forget you, Patrick.

No, no, it's just...

You remind me of someone
I used to know.

Who?
Me.

You're an addict, Mary Jane.

What?

I don't know if your drug
of choice is the passion,

the thrill of the affair
or the man himself,

but there's a void he's filling
in your life and you're hooked.

Oh, great, so just because you were
an addict, I gotta be an addict now.

No, no, no, I'm an addict
because I love cocaine.

You're an addict
because you exhibit

the classic traits of addiction.

The secrets, the lies,
the perpetual attempts to quit.

What else?

The isolation.

I'm probably the only one
in your life who knows.

You have a problem.

You need
a 12-step.

That's ridiculous.

Classic denial.

It's worse than I thought.

Okay, look, whatever, Patrick.

Promise me...

This stays between us.

Please.

I promise.

Thank you.

You never told me why you
came by the house yesterday.

I wanted to bounce
an idea off of you,

but it's cool, it's cool.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

What the hell is this thing?

Miss Lynch?

Get off my desk, Julian.

Sorry.

Just comparing the chemicals
in those bars.

What's up?

I came across this story and...

I don't know.

It's like she's speaking to me,

asking me to make sure
this never happens...

I don't need the poetry,
I just need the pitch.

Okay?

Samantha Haven,
38-year-old woman

found dead in her apartment,

still watching TV after
three whole years

of not being missed.

But what's the angle?

Samantha Havens, 38-year-old woman
found dead in her apartment,

still watching TV after three
whole years of not being missed.

Yeah, but she died
three years ago,

so what makes
this newsworthy today?

It's been turned
into a documentary,

and it is about to open up...

Oh, my God.

Who doesn't have a documentary?

Why isn't Cynthia doing this?

Full disclosure...

It got bumped by a piece on
Beyonce's documentary.

Okay, no, that's called
advertising, honey.

All right.

Leave me with the research,
I will look into it.

Gotta get to my 10:30.

And here, take this one,
it has more sugar.

It'll keep your energy up.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Peanut.

Love peanut.

He does know about
the meeting, right?

Yep.

And you have no idea
where he is.

You know, wait.

Let me check.

Looked everywhere.

I didn't lobby
for this job, Sawyer.

You didn't turn it down either.

I saved this show and I
saved your job too,

so you're welcome.

Have you seen Mark?

No.

I can't believe I'm
being given a slip

by a frickin' human Ken doll.

This is so embarrassing.

Unbelievable.

So, listen.

What if I tell you an
attractive 38-year-old woman

with a family, an ex-fiance,
a good education,

dies one night
watching Showtime.

Wait.

Three years later,
they go to evict her,

and they find her skeleton
on the couch

with Showtime
still playing on the TV.

No foul play.

She just died, alone,
and nobody missed her.

Damn.

Yeah.

That's kind of
un-frickin-believable.

Right?

Nobody broke the story?

Well, she was found
two years ago.

But, breaking news...

a filmmaker from England
did a documentary

and it's opening at the Bend
Film Festival in Oregon.

Oh, the Bend Film Festival.

- Yes.
- Does every city have a film festival?

Exactly.

So, we lost our death row
story for Thursday.

So, I thought maybe we could plug
this one in and stick with the theme.

Kara, the last thing I want to
do is an expose on lonely women.

I feel like I'm becoming
the go-to girl

for obscure
female issues, come on.

Okay, valid point,

and if that's why
you want to pass, that's fine.

But I don't think this is
just a women's issue.

I think this is universal.

The world is becoming so
disconnected and so isolated

that it's not surprising
that this happened.

But what is surprising is that
it doesn't happen more often.

We need these stories,
Mary Jane.

They keep us sensitive.

That's beautiful, Kara.

Thank you.

I stole it.

I just caught a clip of
Jesse Jackson giving a speech

about the desensitization of
the youth of America,

or something like that.

Anyway, listen.

I think this is a great story,
and I think we should do it.

Let me sleep on it.

Okay.

I'll keep hope alive.

That's awful.

I know.

Dad?
Yeah, son?

You got a minute?

Time is an asset I have
in abundance these days.

Think we could call off
this party?

Well, so much for surprises.

How'd you find out?

Too many people being
far too nice.

Wasn't hard.

Well, your mother's been looking
forward to this for a while now.

I think you should
let this happen.

I just don't think I deserve a pat on the
back for doing what should be expected.

Probably not.

But live another three
decades and you'll learn

that every celebration of you
is not necessarily for you.

What if I don't show?

For 14 years, our standard
prayer has been,

"God, save our son
from this demon."

Your mother thinks that two
years of answered prayers

is worth celebrating.

And I tend to agree with her.

This party will happen,
and you will be surprised.

I first read about her
in a weekly.

It was the tiniest,
little mention,

and I fell in love with her.

Moreover, I fell in love
with her story

and simply had to tell it.

So I-I first tried to find
family, friends,

anyone who knew her.

...Miss Haven, hi, hi.
I'm Dana Schultz.

I've been trying to call you.

Miss Haven.

Can you tell us why you
didn't contact your sister

for over five years?

You're her only
surviving family.

Can you offer no comment?
Miss Haven?

Do you even care how she died?

Samantha was full of life.

I still can't believe it.

Why do you think it is

that you didn't get
in touch or call?

I could lie and say
I was busy or thoughtless,

but the truth is...

we got into a fight.

Do you love her?

I did.

Kara, hey, it's me,
no need to respond.

I just wanted to let you know,
you were right.

We're doing this story.

Why are you avoiding me?

I'm not avoiding you.

Really?

'Cause you missed our meeting
and you won't return my calls.

I was in traffic, okay?

You left before I arrived.

I was just about to call you
to reschedule.

Okay, here I am.

All right.

How's Monday,
say four-ish?

How does that work?

I'm not the one
in trouble here, Mark.

It's not my ass that's
on the line.

Now, if you don't
want to do the work,

then at least be man enough
to say it.

You know, my ass
doesn't need saving

or fixing or tweaking
or mending or changing.

I'm a newsman.

I just want to do the news.

Greg is waiting
for a status report,

and I will be giving him
one tomorrow.

So you just let me know
what you want it to say.

In the film, you said,
she came home, prepared dinner

and disappeared into
the afterlife.

What was her last meal?

There was a half-eaten pizza,
which could have been delivered

about 6:00 or so,

what could have been
salad in a bowl,

and an open bottle
of wine on the table.

Reverend Jackson,
it's doubtful we could have

prevented this death, but to go
undiscovered for this long...

You know, when I think about it,
I'm not surprised and yet,

while no one person
is responsible

for her demise or death,
we must all share responsibility

and lift a finger up
and make sure

her life and legacy
is not in vain.

That tech conference this week
in the Silicon Valley

will host some of the largest
tech companies in the world,

but Reverend Jackson, are they
at fault for this culture

of loneliness or worse,
is social media dangerous?

You know, technology at
its best connects us.

At its worst, it makes us
disconnect and less sensitive.

The bottom line is some change
is good, some is not.

We must go forward by hope
and not backwards by fear.

Because of desensitizing
technology,

that's why this young
woman could go unnoticed

and ignored for so long,
indeed for much too long.

That's really nice.

Thanks, guys.

Those Grill Master utensils
are professional-grade.

Hmm.

And we got you the hat,
apron monogrammed.

Try it on, Daddy.

Ahh...

Yeah!

There you go!

That's nice.

Hey, guys, guys.

- I promise I'll be quick.
- Please.

Six years ago, I met Patrick
at the Mercy House Rehab Center.

I was having a really bad day.

He must have saw it on my face
'cause he came over

and told me to smile,

that everything has
a way of working out.

Six years and a beautiful
baby girl later,

I have been smiling ever since.

I know it's a struggle,

but today and every day
for the past two years,

you're winning.

To Patrick.

To Patrick!

Speech, speech, speech!

Thanks... thanks.

Of course I'm going to give you
kisses when I get home.

Don't give Sylvia
a hard time, okay?

All right, Pumpkin, I love you.

Kisses.

Bye.

The first interview
that I ever did was...

with Taj Owens.

He was a two-bit thief who
witnessed a drive-by.

I was an intern in Kansas City.

Interview lasted 23 seconds.

My boss loved it.

He said that I had the gift
and if I worked really hard,

I could be the next
Bernard Shaw.

Taj Owens.

Rachel Nunez.

Hillary Clinton.

Colin Powell.

I remember every name of every
person I've ever interviewed,

no one person is more
important than the next.

And after 17 years,

it's really hard to change.

I understand.

Mark...

Your show isn't interesting.

It hasn't been
for quite some time.

Foreign policy,
that's my content.

And America just fell asleep.

Women think you're dull,

men think you're arrogant,
and kids just think

you should just retire.

It is really hard to
tap dance for people

when you're talking about

hundreds of thousands
dead in Syria.

Maybe it is not me...
maybe it's them.

They may be shallow.

But we need them.

So... how do we make

the French invading Mali sexy?

And we need to carve out a pop
culture segment in your show.

Oh, I should have known, there you go.
I knew there had to be a catch.

Look, I don't do that.

That's what you
and Mary Jane do.

I knew you'd probably have me
stand up or sit down

or do something on
that stupid board, but damn!

The good news is
you didn't get fired.

Charlie did.

Don't you get it?

All those great interviews
you did on the ground in Kuwait,

reporting from aircraft
carriers...

hell, Mary Jane won't
even go out in the rain.

You are the newsiest newsman
we've got, so listen.

Let me help you
so you can help us care more

about real genocides than
"Real Housewives".

Really pouring it on thick.

All right.

When do we start?

- That's what I'm talking about!
- All right.

Got a second for an old friend?

Hey, come in.

How are you, Cynthia?

Well, 10 years older
and 12 pounds heavier

than I want to be,
but I am still working.

I would sell my soul
for those legs.

Well, these legs would cost
a lot more than that,

but if you ever are in the market
for a nice nip and a nice tuck,

I have the perfect man for you.

You're lying.

You didn't?

I did.

My nose and my neckline.

Oh, my God, I can't even tell.

I'm not sure that's good.

But when you're closer to 50
than you are to 40,

you take every
lie that's offered.

So what brings you
slimming my way?

I wanted to compliment you
on the Samantha Haven story.

You found an angle
that I never saw.

Impressive.

Thank you.

Coming from you, that means...

Thank you.

Well, thank me by
not taking my job one day.

Or at least not telling anyone
that I bought this nose.

You're the face of the network.

Somehow I think you're safe,
on both counts.

Oh, um, and one more thing.

I had Greg fire Julian.

With all of the career
uncertainty around here,

loyalty is at a premium,
and I think it's important

we each stay in our own lane,
don't you agree?

I do.

It is so good to
see you, Mary Jane.

I know we're busy, but us girls
need to stick together,

for no other reason than
we need someone to check on us

and make sure we're not dead.

Her bills were on direct debit.

No one checked on her until hr
account was overdrawn.

Her name is Samantha Havens,

and for 1,113 days,

she went unmissed.

"How many times

"have you indulged in
inappropriate activity

in the last
seven days?"

She had a full life.

No one noticed she was gone.

"Do you have the urge
to partake right now?"

Yes.

"If you could partake in
the inappropriate activity

right now without
consequence, would you?"

Uh, hell yeah...
twice.

"Being as honest as possible,

do you want to quit
your behavior?"

No.

It's basically a remodeled
shipping container.

I'm thinking, two waitresses...
they'll be hot...

a bartender and a gourmet chef.

To be honest, Patrick,
I think it's a food truck.

It's an upscale mobile lounge.

And it's a game changer.

The Atlanta market is wide open.

But the capital investment is
steep, the risk is off the charts,

and I would imagine that the resale market
for mobile lounges isn't very good.

Did you see the numbers?

We're talking instant franchise.

I see the numbers.

I also see a $30,000 investment
for both me and Curtis.

Patrick, you don't have the cash,
you don't have the credit,

you haven't run a successful
business in over a decade.

We're taking all the risk.

What are you bringing
to the table?

I brought the idea.

And don't forget, it was my idea that
launched you and Curtis in the first place.

That club made you who you are.

Yes, and if you would have
sold when we did,

like we asked you to,

we wouldn't be doing this dance.

We'd still be partners.

Maybe I didn't
make myself clear.

I had a number in my phone.

I need that number.

I erased all trace of that
number from my life.

Okay?

I do not remember it.

I did not back it up, okay?

And I am one more idiotic
question away

from completely
blowing a gasket.

A cloud?

What, what is, what is,
what's a cloud?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

All right.

Okay, okay.

So it backs up
all of my information.

No.

No, thank you.

You are a lifesaver.

I'll take it to Curtis

and I'll see what he says.

We'll get back to you.

I got this.

Hold on, hold on.

My life is not so bad
I can't buy you a drink.

It was good seeing you
again, Patrick.

Take care of yourself, hmm?

Hello.

I need someone to talk to.

Wanna come over?

Hi.

I'm Mary Jane
and I am an addict.

Hello, Mary Jane.

What do you do
when you're jonesing?

Jonesing?

Yeah, like jonesing,
like fiending,

like scraping the bottom, like
right when you're about to fall.

What do you do?

That's an easy one.

I'll show you.

Wait, wait.

Oh, that don't work.

Hold on.

Aunt Toni's house?

What?

Are you joking?

Aunt Toni's great,
and she'll love seeing you.

My hair will smell
like fried fish and chitlins

and you know Uncle Ron
will try to feel me up.

Come on, man.

Suit yourself.

Patrick.

This isn't funny, ser...

Well, wait.

Come on, girl.

Aren't you gonna
click the alarm?

Uh-huh,
"beep-beep".

Come in, the door's open.

Mmm, smells like
good eating in here!

You are just in time.

Smothered chicken on the stove
and cabbage in the pot.

Pauletta!

Girl.

Baby, I ain't seen
you since, what,

we stopped by your
Daddy's last Christmas?

You know, I've been super busy
with work and everything.

Yeah, well, we're all busy now.

Here you go, Auntie.

- Brought you some fish.
- Thank you, baby.

How you living, Cuz?

Hey, just doing life.

No complaints.

- We need to talk, man, we need to talk.
- Pauletta.

Hey, Amir, how are you?

Good, good, how are you?

- Hanging in there.
- Good.

Oh, now look at
who done got lost.

Got a superstar in
the house, y'all.

Okay.

Good to see you,
good to see you.

Good to see you, Uncle Ron.

I'm surprised Queen Helen
let y'all out of the castle.

Maybe if I beg, she'll let my
brother stop by for a visit.

Oh, hold up, now.
Patrick, come here.

Come stir this cabbage here
for me for 30 seconds.

Pauletta, grab
some plates, baby.

Put 'em on the table for me.

Romero, tell them children
to wash their hands.

Dinner's ready.

Hey, y'all, come on in.

Look how tall you done got.

What is happening?

Okay, I get it.

Can we please go?

Not 'til Aunt Toni
whips out her banana pudding.

Oh, you start getting old,

the first thing to go
is your feet.

Oh!

Y'all ready for dessert?

Thought you'd never ask.

All right.

Whoa!

Okay, naked guy, nobody cares.

All right.

Ron, Fred's getting naked again.

- You don't remember Fred?
- No, I don't remember Fred.

Aunt Toni's been
taking care of him for years.

He's an outpatient from Memorial.
Rents the back room.

- Good to know.
- Come on, Fred.

I, I want...

I'll get you something, buddy.

Toni, would please fix
Fred a plate?

I know, I'll get him something.

Hey, Tanisha.

Laconta.

I know...
Laconta.

Hey.

Hi.

No problem.

Lead the way.

How you doing, baby?

I'm good, I'm good.

Yeah?

You're still holding on, right?

Yeah, still holding on.

That's good.

'Cause you know Aunt Toni's
always praying for you.

Is not.

Is too!

Is not.
Is too!

Is not!
Is too!

Stop lying.

Would you please tell this
drama queen you're my cousin?

Who you calling drama queen,
big head?

Oh, okay, okay, calm down.

Everybody take a corner. First,
no more name-calling, all right?

Second, yes, both of these
beautiful young ladies

are my cousins.

- Prove it.
- Okay.

Tanisha and Laconta's dad,
Romero, he's my cousin,

and his mom, Aunt Toni,

well, that's my father's
youngest sister.

See, I told you I was
related to somebody famous.

If you're her cousin,

why haven't I ever
seen you around?

Have a seat.

What's your name?

Kashari Amber Wallace.

Well, Kashari, uh...

that's a really good question...

and I don't know.

I'm not ready to go home.

Not yet.

Okay.

Oh, man.

You couldn't tell me
and Lisa nothing.

We used to go straight
to the front of the line,

free drinks, VIP.

Everybody in Atlanta
was up in here.

Yeah... true dat, true dat.

You need to leave him alone.

I'm already in love with him.

You're not.

I am.

That's why I feel so stupid.

I didn't see it coming.

This is what happens when
you don't see it coming.

I was the man.

Had the money, the spot,
the house, the wife.

Even proved Dad wrong.

My game was popping.

I was a king of Atlanta.

That's what I was addicted to.

The cocaine was
just a midnight friend

when no one else was around,
made me feel good.

I know you're afraid.

No one wants
to be alone, I get it.

He's not worth it.

He proposed.

Gave me a ring
and the whole nine.

Don't laugh, please.

Dad's miserable, Mom's sick,

cokehead son and a daughter

who's sleeping with
a married man.

Oh, how the Huxtables
have fallen.

I didn't say yes.

What if I told you
I was going to do it again?

What?

New business, new dream,

new opportunity
to bury old demons.

I'd say I believe you and...

if there's anything you need,
I'm here for you.

You mean that?

Yeah.

You're here for me.

Okay.

I need...

I need you to promise me that
if you feel yourself slipping,

you'll call me, not Andre.

I promise.

I promise!

All right, I'm gonna
hold you to that.

Hmm.

Yeah...

These was the days.

Do you realize it is
two-something in the morning?

I'm sorry.

You think we can revisit me
getting a key?

Let me think on it.
