1
00:00:02,731 --> 00:00:04,903
Previously on This Is Us...
2
00:00:04,946 --> 00:00:08,118
I haven't had a happy life.
Some would call it sad,
3
00:00:08,143 --> 00:00:09,443
but I don't.
4
00:00:12,294 --> 00:00:14,051
Why did you choose to get drunk?
5
00:00:14,076 --> 00:00:16,000
You embarrassed me
in front of my friends.
6
00:00:16,002 --> 00:00:18,636
Deja, your mom might not
be coming back for a while.
7
00:00:18,638 --> 00:00:20,239
What do you mean? Yes, she will.
8
00:00:21,307 --> 00:00:22,426
I'm pregnant.
9
00:00:54,361 --> 00:00:55,762
- Hi.
- Hi.
10
00:00:56,497 --> 00:00:58,430
- Nice to meet you.
- Hey. Come on in.
11
00:00:58,432 --> 00:01:00,132
- How are you?
- Thank you. Very good.
12
00:01:00,134 --> 00:01:02,816
Okay. Right here
is where the babies sleep.
13
00:01:02,841 --> 00:01:05,508
We got Randall right here,
next to Kevin and Kate.
14
00:01:05,510 --> 00:01:07,644
And we are absolutely
getting a changing table
15
00:01:07,646 --> 00:01:10,099
in case you're wondering,
which obviously, you are,
16
00:01:10,124 --> 00:01:12,458
coming to check on prospective
adoptive parents.
17
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:14,827
- I'm gonna stop talking.
- Yeah. We're really excited.
18
00:01:14,829 --> 00:01:16,290
So excited.
19
00:01:19,667 --> 00:01:21,181
- Hi.
- Hey, Paula.
20
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:23,441
Evening, Jack. Just wanted to stop in
21
00:01:23,466 --> 00:01:25,333
for a quick little checkup on Randall.
22
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:27,084
Come on in.
23
00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:28,849
Kevin just about bit
my freaking nipple off.
24
00:01:28,874 --> 00:01:30,465
Hey, look, it's Paula.
25
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:31,708
- Hi, Paula.
- Hi.
26
00:01:31,733 --> 00:01:33,267
- Come on in.
- How's he doing? Hi.
27
00:01:33,291 --> 00:01:34,724
Oh, he's good. He's great.
28
00:01:35,612 --> 00:01:37,112
Hi, Paula.
29
00:01:38,138 --> 00:01:39,640
- How are you?
- Good.
30
00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:44,869
This is leftover from yesterday.
Now, we don't usually give
31
00:01:44,871 --> 00:01:46,013
Randall too much sugar.
32
00:01:46,038 --> 00:01:48,013
I just figured, for a first birthday...
33
00:01:48,038 --> 00:01:50,585
Rebecca, your kids
can have birthday cake.
34
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:51,776
I won't hold it against you.
35
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:53,294
- Okay, thanks.
- So, the judge,
36
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:55,029
he has all this paperwork?
37
00:01:55,054 --> 00:01:57,350
Yes, along with
my glowing recommendation.
38
00:01:57,682 --> 00:01:59,815
Now, this next part is just a formality.
39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,776
You'll go before Judge Bradley,
40
00:02:01,801 --> 00:02:03,487
and he'll ask you a few questions, like,
41
00:02:03,512 --> 00:02:05,312
"Do you wish to adopt this child?"
42
00:02:05,602 --> 00:02:07,565
And you'll say, "Yes, we do."
43
00:02:07,895 --> 00:02:09,707
- We need to commemorate this moment.
- No, babe,
44
00:02:09,731 --> 00:02:11,527
- I-I don't think we need anymore...
- We need pictures.
45
00:02:11,551 --> 00:02:13,767
- We need new pictures.
- We're gonna get new pictures.
46
00:02:13,792 --> 00:02:15,479
Okay. That's good.
47
00:02:23,551 --> 00:02:27,977
I'm having a little trouble
balancing your skin tones.
48
00:02:28,002 --> 00:02:29,603
So, what are these for? First birthday?
49
00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:31,556
No, they're for our adoption notice
50
00:02:31,581 --> 00:02:32,923
for our son, Randall.
51
00:02:33,253 --> 00:02:35,080
Bet you can't guess
which one Randall is.
52
00:02:35,105 --> 00:02:36,174
Sorry.
53
00:02:36,198 --> 00:02:38,534
We don't get a lot of families
that look like yours in here.
54
00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:40,978
Either you're blown out,
or Randall's a dark blob.
55
00:02:41,003 --> 00:02:42,931
- Shh.
- You know what? Just do your best.
56
00:02:42,956 --> 00:02:44,150
- It happens a lot.
- Yeah.
57
00:02:44,175 --> 00:02:46,689
We got about 30 seconds...
Before one of them craps, barfs,
58
00:02:46,714 --> 00:02:48,947
- or all three just lose their minds.
- Yep.
59
00:02:48,972 --> 00:02:50,783
All right, big smiles on three.
60
00:02:50,808 --> 00:02:52,986
One, two, three.
61
00:02:53,031 --> 00:02:54,619
Steelers!
62
00:02:54,963 --> 00:02:58,241
Face right.
63
00:02:58,407 --> 00:03:01,167
The court accepts
your guilty plea, Mr. Hill.
64
00:03:01,192 --> 00:03:03,916
And since you are unable to post bail,
65
00:03:03,941 --> 00:03:06,783
you'll be remanded
until your sentencing hearing.
66
00:03:07,007 --> 00:03:08,276
Do you understand?
67
00:03:10,721 --> 00:03:11,955
You have no record.
68
00:03:12,515 --> 00:03:14,658
Not so much as a traffic violation.
69
00:03:15,611 --> 00:03:19,221
So, I must admit, I find this
arrest rather disappointing.
70
00:03:20,974 --> 00:03:23,736
What would you have me do, Your Honor?
71
00:03:26,863 --> 00:03:28,229
On every corner,
72
00:03:28,948 --> 00:03:30,330
there's someone selling,
73
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:36,064
so I buy... and I use.
74
00:03:36,785 --> 00:03:39,478
If you had my life,
you'd probably use, too.
75
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:44,020
Just a year ago, my mother was alive,
76
00:03:45,813 --> 00:03:47,538
and my girl was alive,
77
00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:51,155
and we were having a son.
78
00:03:52,785 --> 00:03:54,046
Now, they're gone.
79
00:03:55,391 --> 00:03:57,321
- They're all gone.
- Mr. Hill...
80
00:03:57,346 --> 00:04:01,376
So, I come here, and you tell me
you're disappointed?
81
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:04,243
Well, guess what?
82
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:06,954
I am more disappointed.
83
00:04:07,930 --> 00:04:10,126
I am the most disappointed man
84
00:04:10,151 --> 00:04:12,438
you've ever met in your whole damn life.
85
00:04:14,035 --> 00:04:16,636
So, if you want to lock me up,
lock me up.
86
00:04:17,502 --> 00:04:21,131
Put me inside, because there is
nothing out here for me anymore.

88
00:04:44,106 --> 00:04:45,037
Thanks.
89
00:04:45,062 --> 00:04:46,669
No, we'll see you at 10:00.
90
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:48,731
- Who was that?
- Uh, Linda.
91
00:04:48,756 --> 00:04:51,176
Deja and me are meeting her
at the clink this morning.
92
00:04:51,185 --> 00:04:54,161
"The clink"? Baby, why you sound
like a character from The Wire?
93
00:04:54,186 --> 00:04:55,598
Because it's not fair, Beth.
94
00:04:56,082 --> 00:04:59,143
I mean, Deja's 12 years old,
and I got to take her to visit
95
00:04:59,168 --> 00:05:00,861
a woman who thinks it's perfectly fine
96
00:05:00,886 --> 00:05:02,153
to drive her daughter around
97
00:05:02,153 --> 00:05:04,653
with an unlicensed gun
in the glove compartment.
98
00:05:04,655 --> 00:05:06,621
I know you're not looking
forward to this, babe,
99
00:05:06,621 --> 00:05:07,821
but it's court-ordered.
100
00:05:07,823 --> 00:05:09,023
The woman's a criminal.
101
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:10,690
Who's also her mother.
102
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:13,727
You know what? I'm-a come with y'all.
103
00:05:13,729 --> 00:05:15,290
I'm gonna just push
my 10:00 and make sure...
104
00:05:15,314 --> 00:05:18,005
No, nope. I-I got this. You go to work.
105
00:05:18,493 --> 00:05:20,493
Somebody's got to pay
for my cold brew habit.
106
00:05:20,495 --> 00:05:22,477
These beans don't grow on trees.
107
00:05:22,578 --> 00:05:23,945
You know, actually, they do.
108
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:25,456
I mean, technically,
it's not a tree, but...
109
00:05:25,458 --> 00:05:27,422
- I got it.
- Okay.
110
00:05:28,211 --> 00:05:29,663
Morning, Destiny's Children.
111
00:05:29,688 --> 00:05:30,852
- Good morning!
- Morning!
112
00:05:30,877 --> 00:05:31,922
Hey.
113
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,687
You look very pretty.
114
00:05:33,857 --> 00:05:35,651
- Nice dress.
- Thanks.
115
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:38,589
Um... It's my mom's favorite.
116
00:05:39,368 --> 00:05:40,422
Car bagel?
117
00:05:42,169 --> 00:05:43,312
Let's go.
118
00:05:43,668 --> 00:05:44,734
See you, guys.
119
00:05:45,246 --> 00:05:46,672
- Bye, baby.
- Bye, babe.
120
00:05:46,773 --> 00:05:48,358
Who's driving? You or me?
121
00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:50,180
Me?
122
00:06:01,454 --> 00:06:02,501
Baby, what's up?
123
00:06:02,526 --> 00:06:04,847
Hey, are you all packed for your flight?
124
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:07,163
I stocked up on all your favorites.
125
00:06:07,654 --> 00:06:10,678
Even that weird tea that I can't say.
126
00:06:10,811 --> 00:06:12,711
It's... ma-macha...
127
00:06:12,713 --> 00:06:14,171
- Mach-ta?
- Matcha.
128
00:06:14,196 --> 00:06:16,029
Right. Um, also,
129
00:06:16,054 --> 00:06:17,603
I'm-I'm trying to change my shift,
130
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:18,988
so I can pick you up from the airport.
131
00:06:19,012 --> 00:06:20,022
Oh...
132
00:06:20,773 --> 00:06:23,691
Yeah, uh... L-Listen,
we might have to push that...
133
00:06:24,338 --> 00:06:26,107
till next week,
because there's this, uh,
134
00:06:26,109 --> 00:06:27,542
there's this director out here
135
00:06:27,544 --> 00:06:29,064
that my agent really wants me to meet.
136
00:06:29,958 --> 00:06:32,986
Kevin, this is the third time
you've pushed.
137
00:06:33,619 --> 00:06:35,961
- I know. You're right.
- Just be honest.
138
00:06:36,272 --> 00:06:38,217
Do you even want to move out here?
139
00:06:38,643 --> 00:06:40,209
What? Do I want to... of course
I want to move out there.
140
00:06:40,211 --> 00:06:41,466
What are you talking about?
141
00:06:41,491 --> 00:06:43,263
Because it feels like you're stalling,
142
00:06:43,482 --> 00:06:45,709
and it's getting ridiculous.
143
00:06:45,734 --> 00:06:47,552
- Soph, listen...
- Kev, you came to me.
144
00:06:47,569 --> 00:06:50,122
You showed up at my door.
I was doing just fine,
145
00:06:50,147 --> 00:06:52,147
and you showed up, and you said
all that stuff, and,
146
00:06:52,149 --> 00:06:53,732
you know...
147
00:06:56,021 --> 00:06:58,138
Crap, I have to go. Listen, just...
148
00:07:00,231 --> 00:07:01,575
Let's just talk about it later.
149
00:07:01,885 --> 00:07:03,239
- Okay?
- Okay.
150
00:07:03,628 --> 00:07:04,755
All right.
151
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:07,255
Hey, Soph, uh...
152
00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:10,548
I just want to tell you that I love you.
153
00:07:10,686 --> 00:07:11,698
So...
154
00:07:12,941 --> 00:07:14,026
Soph?
155
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:25,034
Oh, Soph.
156
00:07:48,428 --> 00:07:50,065
How long is he gonna take?
157
00:07:50,147 --> 00:07:51,990
I don't... Yep... yep.
158
00:07:52,334 --> 00:07:53,997
- What's up, Mount Keverest?
- Kev!
159
00:07:54,022 --> 00:07:55,225
All right, make it quick, all right?
160
00:07:55,249 --> 00:07:56,904
Because I got to go home and pack.
161
00:07:56,929 --> 00:07:59,052
I'm flying to New York tonight
to promise Sophie
162
00:07:59,077 --> 00:08:00,677
that I would fix things with her, so...
163
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:03,977
Okay, you're gonna want to sit for this.
164
00:08:04,178 --> 00:08:05,271
Follow me.
165
00:08:07,295 --> 00:08:09,107
So, this is it?
This is the big surprise?
166
00:08:09,109 --> 00:08:11,435
You guys have just, you know,
given up, fashion-wise?
167
00:08:12,217 --> 00:08:13,288
Okay.
168
00:08:13,313 --> 00:08:14,396
One...
169
00:08:14,421 --> 00:08:15,443
A-two...
170
00:08:15,694 --> 00:08:17,256
- A-three.
- A-three.
171
00:08:20,631 --> 00:08:21,863
Uh...
172
00:08:22,334 --> 00:08:23,576
We're pregnant.
173
00:08:24,849 --> 00:08:25,873
You're preg...
174
00:08:25,898 --> 00:08:27,358
W-We're pregnant.
- Oh, my God!
175
00:08:27,382 --> 00:08:29,506
This is amazing! What
am I doing over there?
176
00:08:29,531 --> 00:08:30,631
- Ten weeks.
- This is great.
177
00:08:30,655 --> 00:08:32,256
- I-I'm shocked.
- Oh, yeah!
178
00:08:32,281 --> 00:08:33,803
All right, this is fantastic.
179
00:08:33,828 --> 00:08:35,240
I mean, is he gonna be
the best dad ever?
180
00:08:35,264 --> 00:08:36,428
- I don't know.
- Uh, yeah.
181
00:08:36,453 --> 00:08:38,412
Giving the best fatherly advice.
182
00:08:38,437 --> 00:08:39,631
Can you see him?
183
00:08:39,656 --> 00:08:41,240
Yeah, I can.
184
00:08:41,265 --> 00:08:43,332
- Act... I really, I can.
- I don't know.
185
00:08:43,357 --> 00:08:45,824
Uh, no, I think so. And you're
gonna read bedtime stories.
186
00:08:53,361 --> 00:08:56,134
- Shh... Hey. Hey, sweetie.
- Shh, shh, shh..
187
00:08:56,672 --> 00:08:57,609
Pearsons?
188
00:08:57,634 --> 00:08:59,118
- We're here, we're here.
- That's us.
189
00:08:59,142 --> 00:09:00,383
Shh, shh, it's okay.
190
00:09:00,408 --> 00:09:01,507
Hi.
191
00:09:01,595 --> 00:09:04,177
- Sorry, there's a few of us.
- Hello.
192
00:09:04,825 --> 00:09:06,184
I have read your report,
193
00:09:06,210 --> 00:09:08,678
and I have some questions
about your home visits.
194
00:09:08,703 --> 00:09:10,669
Uh, I'd like to speak
with your social worker,
195
00:09:10,731 --> 00:09:11,974
"Paula Miller"?
196
00:09:12,108 --> 00:09:13,604
She's not here, sir.
197
00:09:13,874 --> 00:09:16,796
Uh, she told us that
everything you would need
198
00:09:16,821 --> 00:09:18,428
could be found in our file.
199
00:09:18,618 --> 00:09:19,624
Hmm.
200
00:09:19,717 --> 00:09:22,054
Well, as I said, I have some questions.
201
00:09:22,210 --> 00:09:24,375
Uh, so, right now,
we're about three weeks out.
202
00:09:24,375 --> 00:09:26,678
My clerk with put you back
on the docket. Thank you.
203
00:09:26,913 --> 00:09:29,094
- The Andersons?
- Come on.
204
00:09:29,573 --> 00:09:31,309
- All right.
- Okay.
205
00:09:41,669 --> 00:09:42,926
Um, maybe we can, uh,
206
00:09:42,996 --> 00:09:44,395
s-sit over...
207
00:09:45,393 --> 00:09:47,939
- Hold on.
- W-What are you doing?
208
00:09:48,437 --> 00:09:49,499
It's... My bad.
209
00:09:49,524 --> 00:09:50,749
Parental instinct.
210
00:09:50,774 --> 00:09:52,405
I've seen people in handcuffs before.
211
00:09:52,430 --> 00:09:53,562
I'm not scared.
212
00:09:53,888 --> 00:09:55,155
No, of course.
213
00:09:56,057 --> 00:09:57,690
I've seen people
in handcuffs, too, so...
214
00:09:57,770 --> 00:09:59,929
Oh, really? In real life, or on TV?
215
00:09:59,954 --> 00:10:01,530
Come on, man. Real life.
216
00:10:07,478 --> 00:10:08,642
Oh, hey, guys.
217
00:10:08,667 --> 00:10:09,939
- Hi.
- Hi, Miss Linda.
218
00:10:09,964 --> 00:10:13,392
So, Deja, you're gonna be in a
special visiting area today.
219
00:10:13,452 --> 00:10:15,685
No glass divides or telephones.
220
00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:17,471
You're gonna be able to hug your mom.
221
00:10:19,858 --> 00:10:21,057
- Cool.
- Shall we?
222
00:10:21,082 --> 00:10:22,248
Yeah.
223
00:11:02,369 --> 00:11:04,463
Jack, I don't understand.
224
00:11:04,463 --> 00:11:06,836
Paula raved about us in our file.
225
00:11:06,862 --> 00:11:09,572
What does the judge want
to talk to her about?
226
00:11:11,119 --> 00:11:12,329
Let's go find out.
227
00:11:12,659 --> 00:11:13,659
What?
228
00:11:13,684 --> 00:11:15,151
No. Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack.
229
00:11:15,176 --> 00:11:16,922
Excuse me, Judge Bradley. Hi.
230
00:11:17,021 --> 00:11:19,685
Jack Pearson. My-my wife Rebecca.
231
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:20,810
I remember.
232
00:11:20,971 --> 00:11:22,606
And you're not supposed to approach me
233
00:11:22,606 --> 00:11:25,195
- outside the courtroom.
- Yeah, but... I'm sorry. I know.
234
00:11:25,220 --> 00:11:27,956
We're very sorry, sir,
but, um, is there any way
235
00:11:27,981 --> 00:11:29,891
that we could talk to you
for just one minute?
236
00:11:30,091 --> 00:11:31,172
Please?
237
00:11:33,827 --> 00:11:35,014
Come in my chambers.
238
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:42,780
Your curls are killing it.
239
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:44,840
What do they call that, a big chop?
240
00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:47,910
Your mom's gonna love it.
241
00:11:49,657 --> 00:11:51,402
Hey, I'll be right back.
242
00:11:54,692 --> 00:11:57,179
What's up? We've been
waiting for a while.
243
00:11:58,002 --> 00:11:59,376
Shauna's not coming.
244
00:12:00,197 --> 00:12:02,195
What do you mean, Shauna's not coming?
245
00:12:03,074 --> 00:12:04,701
She opted out of seeing Deja.
246
00:12:04,726 --> 00:12:05,896
It happens sometimes.
247
00:12:06,853 --> 00:12:08,208
I don't understand.
248
00:12:08,233 --> 00:12:09,841
You said this was a mandatory visit.
249
00:12:09,866 --> 00:12:11,443
She has the right to opt out.
250
00:12:12,022 --> 00:12:13,232
I'm sorry, what about...
251
00:12:13,257 --> 00:12:14,724
- what about Deja's rights?
- I...
252
00:12:14,749 --> 00:12:16,316
We've been looking forward
to this for weeks.
253
00:12:16,341 --> 00:12:18,655
- I know. I'm sorry.
- That's great.
254
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:21,199
I'll let Deja know you're sorry.
I'm sure that'll help.
255
00:12:21,433 --> 00:12:23,866
- Excuse me?
- Sometimes I can't help but wonder
256
00:12:23,891 --> 00:12:26,064
if anyone's actually
looking out for these kids.
257
00:12:27,236 --> 00:12:28,735
You wonder if...
258
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:34,841
Randall, last month we got a girl
259
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:37,956
who had an ear infection
when she was an infant.
260
00:12:38,111 --> 00:12:41,357
- Just a minor little ear infection.
- Mm-hmm.
261
00:12:41,382 --> 00:12:44,638
Totally treatable... except her
birth parents didn't treat it.
262
00:12:44,703 --> 00:12:46,423
They ignored it for six months,
263
00:12:46,448 --> 00:12:48,314
and now she's four and she's deaf.
264
00:12:48,646 --> 00:12:50,545
Do you know how hard it is
to find someone
265
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:52,288
who'll take in a deaf four-year-old?
266
00:12:52,415 --> 00:12:54,381
Do you know how many times
267
00:12:54,406 --> 00:12:56,540
I have held up a photograph of her
268
00:12:56,565 --> 00:12:59,095
and shown prospective foster parents,
269
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,384
and I've watched their faces light up?
270
00:13:01,468 --> 00:13:03,564
And then I watched
those smiles disappear
271
00:13:03,589 --> 00:13:05,025
when I tell them she's deaf.
272
00:13:05,777 --> 00:13:07,728
Do you know how to say, "Sorry, sweetie,
273
00:13:07,753 --> 00:13:10,829
we still haven't found a family
for you," in sign language?
274
00:13:10,854 --> 00:13:12,322
Because I do.
275
00:13:12,888 --> 00:13:14,025
So, please...
276
00:13:15,114 --> 00:13:17,478
don't tell me you wonder
if anyone's out there
277
00:13:17,503 --> 00:13:19,362
looking out for these kids.
278
00:13:24,479 --> 00:13:25,942
I'm sorry, Linda.
279
00:13:35,043 --> 00:13:37,180
Did Shauna say why
she didn't want to see her?
280
00:13:38,101 --> 00:13:39,137
No.
281
00:13:56,945 --> 00:13:58,768
Apparently, there was a mix-up,
282
00:13:59,135 --> 00:14:00,725
and, um...
283
00:14:01,566 --> 00:14:04,539
our visit wasn't cleared
with the folks here.
284
00:14:06,944 --> 00:14:08,316
So she's not coming?
285
00:14:11,774 --> 00:14:13,349
I'm so sorry, Deja.
286
00:14:14,064 --> 00:14:16,863
I know how much you were looking
forward to seeing your mom.
287
00:14:26,246 --> 00:14:28,109
Um... could I go get my purse?
288
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:30,347
Yeah, we can get it on the way back.
289
00:14:30,372 --> 00:14:31,652
No, I need it now.
290
00:14:32,028 --> 00:14:33,082
Why?
291
00:14:34,304 --> 00:14:37,328
I've been saving up
my allowance for my mom,
292
00:14:37,353 --> 00:14:40,177
so that she can get
everything she needs in here.
293
00:14:42,769 --> 00:14:43,939
Okay.
294
00:14:45,786 --> 00:14:48,447
We'll go get your purse, then figure
out who to give the money to.
295
00:15:05,004 --> 00:15:06,289
- Congratulations.
- I'm glad you came over.
296
00:15:06,313 --> 00:15:08,179
- Thank you for coming, you guys.
- Hey.
297
00:15:08,204 --> 00:15:10,078
- I'm so... happy for you.
- Thanks, man. Oh. Yeah. Okay.
298
00:15:10,102 --> 00:15:11,139
All right.
299
00:15:11,329 --> 00:15:12,484
- All right, love you guys.
- Love you.
300
00:15:12,508 --> 00:15:13,858
All right. All right.
301
00:15:15,921 --> 00:15:16,983
That went great.
302
00:15:18,118 --> 00:15:19,542
Did he seem off to you?
303
00:15:19,567 --> 00:15:21,533
Uh, yeah, I guess he seemed a little...
304
00:15:21,991 --> 00:15:23,870
- a little distracted.
- Yeah.
305
00:15:24,020 --> 00:15:25,571
Okay, so, we told Kev.
306
00:15:26,171 --> 00:15:27,314
Now on to your mom.
307
00:15:27,684 --> 00:15:29,259
No, uh, wait.
308
00:15:29,632 --> 00:15:31,398
Yeah, see, still... it's a little early.
309
00:15:31,423 --> 00:15:33,657
And so we should,
uh, we should just give her
310
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:35,487
a couple of hours to get
through her "Judge Block."
311
00:15:35,511 --> 00:15:38,291
- I'm sorry, the... the what?
- Uh, Judge Judy,
312
00:15:38,316 --> 00:15:39,869
Judge Mathis, Divorce Court.
313
00:15:39,894 --> 00:15:42,619
Uh, she can't be...
kind of disturbed during that.
314
00:15:42,644 --> 00:15:45,203
So... we'll just call her after.
That's fine.
315
00:15:45,719 --> 00:15:47,002
- Tobe?
- Mm-hmm?
316
00:15:47,944 --> 00:15:50,609
Are you scared to tell your mom
that her Catholic son is having
317
00:15:50,634 --> 00:15:52,195
- a baby out of wedlock?
- Am I scared?
318
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:54,774
- Mm-hmm.
- No. I am terrified.
319
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:57,166
Do you remember how she reacted
when we told her that we
320
00:15:57,191 --> 00:16:00,344
- were moving in together?
- Yeah. A lot of tears.
321
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,333
But she... you know, she got over it.
322
00:16:03,358 --> 00:16:04,369
Yes, she did.
323
00:16:04,394 --> 00:16:06,775
But bun in the unmarried oven
324
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,023
is like a whole new level of freak out.
325
00:16:09,156 --> 00:16:10,929
Yeah. Okay, it's ringing.
326
00:16:10,954 --> 00:16:13,982
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Are we doing this?
- Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
327
00:16:14,007 --> 00:16:16,194
Okay, well, she's not gonna
answer, 'cause Judge Judy is on.
328
00:16:16,218 --> 00:16:17,978
- She might.
- I'm not gonna leave a message.
329
00:16:18,265 --> 00:16:20,279
- I should?
- I don't know.
330
00:16:20,304 --> 00:16:22,271
Her voice mail picked up.
Am I leaving a message?
331
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:24,500
I shouldn't leave this on-on
her answering machine, should I?
332
00:16:24,524 --> 00:16:26,085
Kate, am I leaving a message right now?
333
00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:27,168
Okay, okay. Wow.
334
00:16:29,929 --> 00:16:31,632
- Ooh.
- Sorry.
335
00:16:36,893 --> 00:16:38,010
Let's get married.
336
00:16:38,462 --> 00:16:39,630
Yeah, we're going to.
337
00:16:40,106 --> 00:16:43,600
No. Let's just go to
the courthouse and get married.
338
00:16:44,577 --> 00:16:45,663
Really?
339
00:16:46,145 --> 00:16:47,228
Why not?
340
00:16:47,846 --> 00:16:50,122
Nothing about our relationship
has been traditional.
341
00:16:50,306 --> 00:16:53,094
I proposed to you when
I thought you were unconscious.
342
00:16:53,119 --> 00:16:56,047
You know, we decided to have
a nice, long engagement,
343
00:16:56,072 --> 00:16:58,129
to slow things down, and then boom!
344
00:16:58,743 --> 00:17:00,164
You knocked me up, so...
345
00:17:00,846 --> 00:17:02,243
Are you for real?
346
00:17:04,704 --> 00:17:05,914
Let's get married.
347
00:17:16,797 --> 00:17:17,968
Your Honor...
348
00:17:18,450 --> 00:17:20,938
Randall has been with us
for over a year...
349
00:17:20,963 --> 00:17:24,098
Look, let me save you some time
by being direct.
350
00:17:26,824 --> 00:17:29,757
I don't believe that child
belongs in your home.
351
00:17:31,009 --> 00:17:32,396
- What?
- Excuse me?
352
00:17:32,398 --> 00:17:34,680
That child belongs with a black family.
353
00:17:34,756 --> 00:17:36,040
Mr. and Mrs. Pearson,
354
00:17:37,284 --> 00:17:38,503
how else...
355
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:41,914
will he see himself,
understand who he is?
356
00:17:43,733 --> 00:17:45,132
'Cause we will...
357
00:17:45,252 --> 00:17:47,431
teach him all of that.
358
00:17:47,861 --> 00:17:48,632
Yeah.
359
00:17:48,632 --> 00:17:50,322
- You will teach him?
- Yeah.
360
00:17:51,122 --> 00:17:53,780
Mrs. Pearson, I was nine years old
361
00:17:53,805 --> 00:17:55,836
before I understood that I was black.
362
00:17:56,064 --> 00:17:57,822
Now, I understood my skin color,
363
00:17:57,825 --> 00:18:00,532
the color of my friends and my parents,
364
00:18:00,666 --> 00:18:04,347
but I never really understood
what my blackness meant
365
00:18:04,485 --> 00:18:07,686
until a white man called me a nigger.
366
00:18:09,634 --> 00:18:11,296
And my father sat me down,
367
00:18:11,296 --> 00:18:13,302
and he explained to me
what that word meant.
368
00:18:13,670 --> 00:18:16,633
He didn't... sympathize
or feel sorry for me,
369
00:18:16,635 --> 00:18:20,934
because he understood all
the pain that that word elicits.
370
00:18:22,092 --> 00:18:25,526
My father had been called that word
371
00:18:25,758 --> 00:18:28,462
more times in his life
than he could count.
372
00:18:30,889 --> 00:18:34,328
Now, you see, what you have
in your possession
373
00:18:34,330 --> 00:18:38,146
is a black child who will
grow up to become a black man,
374
00:18:38,171 --> 00:18:39,279
and my fear...
375
00:18:40,474 --> 00:18:43,151
is that he won't have
the tools he needs in his life
376
00:18:43,153 --> 00:18:44,922
if he stays in your home.
377
00:18:46,949 --> 00:18:49,307
I'm... I'm sorry, sir.
378
00:18:49,631 --> 00:18:53,166
With all due respect... to your opinion,
379
00:18:53,191 --> 00:18:55,600
our son was left in a box
380
00:18:55,625 --> 00:18:57,133
outside of a fire station...
381
00:18:57,133 --> 00:18:59,101
And there are places,
and there are people
382
00:18:59,126 --> 00:19:00,926
who will care for him
383
00:19:00,989 --> 00:19:03,840
until he can be paired
with a suitable family.
384
00:19:04,981 --> 00:19:06,308
Now, that's my opinion.
385
00:19:06,333 --> 00:19:08,442
It will not change.
386
00:19:09,146 --> 00:19:12,048
Now, I said that this is...
inappropriate.
387
00:19:13,424 --> 00:19:15,412
I will see you at your next court date.
388
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:30,313
If you're going for a more
vintage vibe, rose gold is
389
00:19:30,338 --> 00:19:32,626
- very "right now."
- Okay. Well, you know,
390
00:19:32,651 --> 00:19:34,672
I got to be on a red-eye
in about an hour here, Roger.
391
00:19:34,672 --> 00:19:36,639
So just, you know, show me
whatever's the most sparkly.
392
00:19:36,663 --> 00:19:37,905
- Got it.
- Okay.
393
00:19:39,092 --> 00:19:40,698
Do I know you from somewhere?
394
00:19:40,723 --> 00:19:42,399
I'm a famous person, Roger.
395
00:19:42,424 --> 00:19:44,291
Yeah, just, you know,
show me the diamonds.
396
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:45,272
Let's see the goods.
397
00:19:45,272 --> 00:19:46,684
Ooh, that's good.
398
00:19:47,027 --> 00:19:49,261
This is... this is like
something my dad would do
399
00:19:49,286 --> 00:19:50,692
after he messed up with my mom.
400
00:19:50,717 --> 00:19:55,199
He would... do something big like
this, something romantic. You know?
401
00:19:55,224 --> 00:19:57,638
Well, proposing is definitely romantic.
402
00:19:57,663 --> 00:19:58,589
Yeah.
403
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:01,440
Uh, all our selections
are conflict-free.
404
00:20:03,066 --> 00:20:04,535
Well, uh, Sophie will love that.
405
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,285
That's good news. She hates conflict.
406
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:07,660
You know. Hates it.
407
00:20:07,965 --> 00:20:11,035
I haven't exactly been the best
boyfriend lately, but I think...
408
00:20:11,826 --> 00:20:12,998
we're gonna be fine.
409
00:20:13,623 --> 00:20:15,600
- I'm sure you will.
- Yeah.
410
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:17,353
I really love her.
411
00:20:18,092 --> 00:20:19,299
I'm sure you do.
412
00:20:25,197 --> 00:20:27,892
You know what? We're gonna do all three.
413
00:20:27,894 --> 00:20:30,360
Okay? I'll just get these three;
we'll let her decide.
414
00:20:31,242 --> 00:20:33,039
I'll just wrap this up.
415
00:20:35,763 --> 00:20:37,169
So, after I issue you
416
00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:39,619
the marriage license,
you come back here tomorrow
417
00:20:39,644 --> 00:20:41,604
for the ceremony, bring a witness,
418
00:20:41,737 --> 00:20:43,542
and whoosh, you're married.
419
00:20:43,869 --> 00:20:47,003
"Whoosh"? What is that,
the sound a marriage makes?
420
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,222
It is here.
421
00:20:50,659 --> 00:20:52,168
I never imagined getting married
422
00:20:52,192 --> 00:20:53,675
under so many fluorescent lights.
423
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:56,060
Yeah, but think of all the money
that we're gonna be saving.
424
00:20:56,427 --> 00:20:57,767
And all the other wedding crap
425
00:20:57,792 --> 00:20:59,057
- that we get out of.
- Totally.
426
00:20:59,082 --> 00:21:00,527
I don't have to go
wedding dress shopping.
427
00:21:00,551 --> 00:21:02,675
- Hell no, you don't.
- Right? Listen to them
428
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,920
break it to me that none of
the pretty ones come in my size.
429
00:21:05,945 --> 00:21:07,682
Oh, and I don't have to listen
430
00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:09,362
to those random wedding guests
431
00:21:09,387 --> 00:21:11,237
come up to me
every five minutes and say,
432
00:21:11,262 --> 00:21:13,526
"Oh, your father would have
loved the day."
433
00:21:13,551 --> 00:21:15,485
Oh, and then, "Who's
gonna walk you down the aisle?"
434
00:21:15,509 --> 00:21:16,642
And father-daughter dance.
435
00:21:16,667 --> 00:21:17,760
Like, whatever.
436
00:21:18,531 --> 00:21:20,151
This is way better.
437
00:21:20,175 --> 00:21:21,564
Just get it over with.
438
00:21:21,589 --> 00:21:23,556
- Yeah.
- You guys are all set.
439
00:21:23,581 --> 00:21:24,689
See you back here tomorrow.
440
00:21:24,714 --> 00:21:25,954
- Okay.
- Uh, thanks.
441
00:21:26,005 --> 00:21:28,011
- Thank you.
- Congrats.
442
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:31,371
Yeah.
443
00:21:41,146 --> 00:21:42,466
So this should be pretty quick.
444
00:21:42,491 --> 00:21:44,058
We'll just be in and out in...
445
00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:46,883
Your Honor, what is this meeting?
446
00:21:46,908 --> 00:21:48,341
I didn't know we'd be having any kind...
447
00:21:48,343 --> 00:21:50,315
I wanted a word with Mr. Hill,
448
00:21:50,340 --> 00:21:52,889
before his sentencing, in private.
449
00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:55,081
Sir, I can't advise my client
450
00:21:55,083 --> 00:21:56,698
to waive his rights
to speak to you or...
451
00:21:56,723 --> 00:21:57,776
It's okay.
452
00:21:59,688 --> 00:22:00,965
I'll be right outside.
453
00:22:13,405 --> 00:22:16,201
I gave a young man ten years today.
454
00:22:16,705 --> 00:22:18,196
Younger than you.
455
00:22:19,506 --> 00:22:20,826
He stole a TV.
456
00:22:21,865 --> 00:22:23,701
Ten years for stealing a TV.
457
00:22:23,737 --> 00:22:25,519
It wasn't even a good TV.
458
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,898
I didn't want to do it,
459
00:22:30,287 --> 00:22:33,471
just like I didn't want
to give five years
460
00:22:33,496 --> 00:22:35,630
to a different fella yesterday,
461
00:22:35,734 --> 00:22:38,534
15 years to another guy
the day before that.
462
00:22:40,008 --> 00:22:41,156
I'm a judge,
463
00:22:42,180 --> 00:22:43,610
and the strange thing is...
464
00:22:44,804 --> 00:22:46,203
I don't make the rules.
465
00:22:47,137 --> 00:22:50,171
So, round and round it goes.
466
00:22:53,217 --> 00:22:57,765
I know the ending
to each one of those stories.
467
00:22:59,829 --> 00:23:01,798
And they haven't even been written yet.
468
00:23:04,196 --> 00:23:07,210
I'm here, Mr. Hill, because
you said something yesterday,
469
00:23:07,235 --> 00:23:08,746
and it stuck with me.
470
00:23:10,110 --> 00:23:12,873
You said you were the most
disappointed man in the world.
471
00:23:14,026 --> 00:23:15,483
And I'm here to tell you,
472
00:23:15,508 --> 00:23:18,484
I fear I am a close second, Mr. Hill.
473
00:23:19,782 --> 00:23:23,546
Because I'm the man who writes
terrible stories day after day,
474
00:23:23,571 --> 00:23:25,538
and I can't change the endings.
475
00:23:26,452 --> 00:23:27,695
And that, sir,
476
00:23:28,662 --> 00:23:32,746
is a horrible... disappointment.
477
00:23:35,090 --> 00:23:38,687
So, I want to see if we can find
you a different ending here.
478
00:23:39,948 --> 00:23:41,704
I'm gonna take a chance on you,
479
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,134
get you out, get you help.
480
00:23:45,470 --> 00:23:47,305
I don't expect you to be perfect.
481
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,049
I know you'll make mistakes,
just like the rest of us.
482
00:23:51,149 --> 00:23:53,209
But I will ask one thing of you.
483
00:23:55,227 --> 00:23:56,313
Yes, sir.
484
00:23:57,743 --> 00:23:59,898
I want you to look at my face.
485
00:24:01,016 --> 00:24:03,149
I want you to look at this too tired,
486
00:24:03,174 --> 00:24:06,406
too old, too fat face.
487
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:09,726
Lock it in your brain.
488
00:24:11,075 --> 00:24:12,841
And if you ever start heading
489
00:24:12,866 --> 00:24:15,082
toward the ending I don't want to write,
490
00:24:16,074 --> 00:24:18,035
I want you to picture this ugly old mug.
491
00:24:18,060 --> 00:24:22,556
You picture this face,
and you make a different choice.
492
00:24:24,458 --> 00:24:25,700
Can you do that?
493
00:24:27,997 --> 00:24:30,684
Can you find me a different
ending to your story?
494
00:24:33,775 --> 00:24:34,941
Yes.
495
00:24:46,779 --> 00:24:48,419
How is she? She say anything?
496
00:24:48,444 --> 00:24:51,264
Not really.
She just wanted to go to sleep.
497
00:24:51,388 --> 00:24:54,107
You should've seen her today,
Beth, with that little purse.
498
00:24:54,502 --> 00:24:56,227
I mean, when she handed
over her allowance...
499
00:24:56,229 --> 00:24:58,362
- This mother's a real piece of work.
- Right?
500
00:24:58,364 --> 00:25:00,744
I mean, first she abandons
her daughter. Right?
501
00:25:00,769 --> 00:25:03,736
Then she lets her get tossed
from group home to group home.
502
00:25:03,761 --> 00:25:06,838
She's been abused, neglected,
and who knows what else.
503
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,207
And then she doesn't even bother
to show up for the visit?
504
00:25:09,486 --> 00:25:11,876
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
505
00:25:11,901 --> 00:25:13,399
We're not letting her
go back over there.
506
00:25:13,813 --> 00:25:15,601
Well, hold on, now.
These are court-ordered visits.
507
00:25:15,603 --> 00:25:17,107
I don't give a damn about
a court order, Randall.
508
00:25:17,107 --> 00:25:19,449
I am done letting that woman
hurt that child.
509
00:25:20,199 --> 00:25:21,265
Okay, wait.
510
00:25:21,290 --> 00:25:22,997
I thought I was gonna be the one
bringing the heat here,
511
00:25:23,021 --> 00:25:24,693
and you were gonna calm me down,
so we switching places?
512
00:25:24,717 --> 00:25:25,715
Yeah, we switching, okay?
513
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:27,746
Because it's our job
to protect that little girl,
514
00:25:27,771 --> 00:25:29,060
so we gonna do our job. So that means,
515
00:25:29,084 --> 00:25:30,872
as long as she's under this roof,
516
00:25:30,897 --> 00:25:33,152
she's not gonna have anything
to do with that woman.
517
00:25:36,497 --> 00:25:38,225
- You could've moved in with Natalie.
- No.
518
00:25:38,250 --> 00:25:40,982
- In any event...
- Mm-mm.
519
00:25:41,745 --> 00:25:43,687
Nope. Not gonna do it.
520
00:25:45,403 --> 00:25:48,804
I am not having a conversation
about this with you, sir.
521
00:25:50,457 --> 00:25:51,520
It's not happening.
522
00:25:51,934 --> 00:25:54,818
It is weird enough
that you live on the mantel.
523
00:25:56,504 --> 00:25:58,791
Yeah, it would've been nice
to get your permission
524
00:25:58,793 --> 00:26:00,707
or-or get your blessing, the right way.
525
00:26:01,838 --> 00:26:04,160
FYI, I would have crushed
526
00:26:04,162 --> 00:26:05,962
proposing to your daughter, by the way.
527
00:26:05,964 --> 00:26:07,797
I'm the king of romantic gestures.
528
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,795
I hear that we have that in common.
529
00:26:11,270 --> 00:26:13,969
That and our insane good looks.
530
00:26:16,021 --> 00:26:18,500
Okay, but here's...
See, here's the thing.
531
00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:22,535
Kate loves weddings.
532
00:26:22,925 --> 00:26:25,051
All right? She watches
Say Yes to the Dress
533
00:26:25,053 --> 00:26:27,186
with her special
Say Yes to the Dress notebook,
534
00:26:27,188 --> 00:26:28,654
like she's studying.
535
00:26:29,197 --> 00:26:31,076
Yeah, my BS meter is going off, too,
536
00:26:31,078 --> 00:26:32,811
with this whole courthouse thing.
537
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:35,398
I do not think that this is
what she wants to do.
538
00:26:38,591 --> 00:26:43,530
Anyhow, Kate says that you are
great in the advice department.
539
00:26:46,074 --> 00:26:48,258
So I could really use
some of that right now.
540
00:27:01,223 --> 00:27:04,007
Hi. How's my second favorite nurse
541
00:27:04,032 --> 00:27:05,546
at Manhattan General doing?
542
00:27:05,913 --> 00:27:07,889
Kevin Pearson, what are you doing here?
543
00:27:07,914 --> 00:27:09,125
What do you mean, what am I doing here?
544
00:27:09,149 --> 00:27:11,282
I'm here to, uh, you know,
I'm surprising Sophie.
545
00:27:11,991 --> 00:27:13,062
She around, or...?
546
00:27:13,087 --> 00:27:15,187
No, she just left
on the transport to Queens.
547
00:27:15,366 --> 00:27:16,749
- She'll be back soon.
- Yeah?
548
00:27:16,774 --> 00:27:18,173
- So you can hang out.
- All right.
549
00:27:18,284 --> 00:27:19,554
I'll hang out. Thank you.
550
00:27:54,211 --> 00:27:55,645
Didn't you hear him?
551
00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:57,581
What were you doing?
552
00:27:57,606 --> 00:27:59,448
Give him some fatherly advice, Kevin.
553
00:27:59,473 --> 00:28:00,495
I don't have any.
554
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,128
- Hey, Dad, play with me.
- Later.
555
00:28:33,112 --> 00:28:34,421
I'm Randall Pearson.
556
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:37,202
Thank you for seeing me.
557
00:28:37,867 --> 00:28:38,928
I'm...
558
00:28:39,682 --> 00:28:41,303
I'm Deja's foster father.
559
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,373
I needed to explain...
560
00:28:43,373 --> 00:28:45,364
I didn't want her
to see my face like this.
561
00:28:54,571 --> 00:28:56,913
I wanted to explain to you
that what happened yesterday
562
00:28:56,938 --> 00:28:58,646
was very difficult for Deja.
563
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:01,143
She was disappointed.
564
00:29:01,755 --> 00:29:03,902
She was really looking forward
to seeing you.
565
00:29:04,427 --> 00:29:07,637
When you make a commitment to
a child, you got to stick to it.
566
00:29:07,662 --> 00:29:09,808
Well, next time I'll
reschedule getting jumped.
567
00:29:09,833 --> 00:29:11,086
Well, obviously,
I'm not familiar with...
568
00:29:11,088 --> 00:29:12,921
No, no, please, continue.
569
00:29:12,923 --> 00:29:15,273
You seem to know all about my situation.
570
00:29:17,419 --> 00:29:18,637
Deja's doing well.
571
00:29:20,264 --> 00:29:22,606
She gets along with
my wife and my daughters.
572
00:29:22,631 --> 00:29:23,786
They're close to her age.
573
00:29:24,185 --> 00:29:27,010
We're thinking of enrolling her
in Woodside Middle School.
574
00:29:27,744 --> 00:29:30,176
Last foster parents
let her stay at her old school.
575
00:29:30,178 --> 00:29:32,390
She's got friends there.
She's on drill team.
576
00:29:32,415 --> 00:29:33,820
Woodside's an excellent school.
577
00:29:33,820 --> 00:29:36,029
I'm sure the cheerleading squad
there is pretty great.
578
00:29:37,490 --> 00:29:39,081
You got a white wife?
579
00:29:39,083 --> 00:29:40,092
Excuse me?
580
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:43,013
Cheerleading is not drill team.
581
00:29:43,038 --> 00:29:44,303
I know the difference. Thank you.
582
00:29:44,305 --> 00:29:46,272
And don't get it twisted, sis,
I wake up every morning
583
00:29:46,274 --> 00:29:47,961
next to a head scarf and coconut oil.
584
00:29:47,961 --> 00:29:49,397
I'm married to a black queen,
585
00:29:49,654 --> 00:29:51,162
not that it's any of your business.
586
00:29:51,787 --> 00:29:53,531
You know what? You made the choices
587
00:29:53,607 --> 00:29:57,212
that got you in here,
but your daughter is a child,
588
00:29:57,772 --> 00:29:59,037
and I don't think you know the half
589
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:00,782
of what she's been through
because of you.
590
00:30:01,248 --> 00:30:03,041
So you don't need to be worried
about me or my wife.
591
00:30:03,043 --> 00:30:05,388
You need to be focused
on what's best for Deja.
592
00:30:05,413 --> 00:30:06,991
Oh, let me guess. That's you?
593
00:30:07,016 --> 00:30:08,991
I'm on this side of the glass, aren't I?
594
00:30:12,826 --> 00:30:14,967
You know, that's not
the first time I've heard that.
595
00:30:15,768 --> 00:30:17,600
"I'm on the other side of the glass."
596
00:30:18,126 --> 00:30:20,426
My ex Lonzo said that same exact thing
597
00:30:20,428 --> 00:30:22,247
sitting right there where
you are right now.
598
00:30:22,272 --> 00:30:25,478
- Is he...?
- No. He's not Deja's father.
599
00:30:27,193 --> 00:30:29,184
He took off when Deja was eight.
600
00:30:30,049 --> 00:30:33,520
Mm-mm, Lonzo is the fool
who got me in this mess.
601
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,825
Met him in rehab
when I was trying to get right.
602
00:30:37,888 --> 00:30:39,028
Ain't that something?
603
00:30:39,339 --> 00:30:42,107
Trying to get right, and I get Lonzo.
604
00:30:44,946 --> 00:30:46,205
That's unfortunate.
605
00:30:48,603 --> 00:30:51,164
I wound up on this side
of the glass, yeah.
606
00:30:51,814 --> 00:30:53,412
And you wound up over there,
607
00:30:53,414 --> 00:30:55,719
no doubt 'cause things broke your way.
608
00:30:58,767 --> 00:31:01,167
Don't you dare say
I'm in here by choice.
609
00:31:01,603 --> 00:31:04,238
People who have choices say that mess.
610
00:31:05,728 --> 00:31:07,927
Deja's the one good thing I've done.
611
00:31:09,088 --> 00:31:12,728
And I thank you for watching out
for her, but make no mistake,
612
00:31:13,261 --> 00:31:15,177
all right, you can give her your money,
613
00:31:15,695 --> 00:31:17,393
and you can give her your cheerleading,
614
00:31:17,395 --> 00:31:19,024
but I gave her my blood.
615
00:31:19,919 --> 00:31:23,100
And if you want to know
what's best for her, it's me.
616
00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:26,943
And the second I get out of
here, I'm coming back for her.
617
00:31:28,596 --> 00:31:30,262
You gonna have to go through me.
618
00:31:32,714 --> 00:31:34,308
I've been through worse.
619
00:31:45,542 --> 00:31:47,089
Oh, thank God. Okay.
620
00:31:49,456 --> 00:31:51,656
Babe, you okay?
621
00:31:51,681 --> 00:31:53,681
- Yeah.
- You look like you're gonna faint.
622
00:31:53,683 --> 00:31:56,480
Listen, I, uh, I called my mom
and I told her about the baby.
623
00:31:56,988 --> 00:31:58,419
Uh, she cried a little bit,
624
00:31:58,421 --> 00:32:00,949
then she hung up
so she could call her priest.
625
00:32:01,090 --> 00:32:02,199
Okay.
626
00:32:02,785 --> 00:32:05,894
Yes. Okay, and now...
627
00:32:08,197 --> 00:32:09,850
They didn't have your, uh,
628
00:32:10,683 --> 00:32:13,634
your version on iTunes,
so I-I had to use this one.
629
00:32:13,980 --> 00:32:15,371
- Tobe.
- Yeah.
630
00:32:16,144 --> 00:32:17,324
Uh...
631
00:32:26,806 --> 00:32:28,531
This was a, uh... hold on.
632
00:32:28,533 --> 00:32:30,433
This was a good idea about an hour ago.
633
00:32:44,173 --> 00:32:46,500
How many... how many hoodies is that?
634
00:32:46,525 --> 00:32:48,205
It is $200 worth.
635
00:32:48,205 --> 00:32:50,138
The guy at the mall kiosk loves me.
636
00:32:50,218 --> 00:32:52,312
- And I...
- Bet he does.
637
00:32:53,577 --> 00:32:54,686
Oh.
638
00:32:54,772 --> 00:32:55,999
Can I borrow that? That?
639
00:32:56,024 --> 00:32:57,710
Oh! My... yeah.
640
00:32:57,787 --> 00:32:59,903
- I'm gonna need this.
- Okay.
641
00:33:01,512 --> 00:33:05,932
Our courtship has been unconventional,
642
00:33:06,076 --> 00:33:08,850
so if you want to get married
at city hall
643
00:33:08,875 --> 00:33:09,929
in front of a bunch of strangers,
644
00:33:09,953 --> 00:33:11,162
then that's what we'll do.
645
00:33:11,339 --> 00:33:13,545
But if there is any part of you
646
00:33:13,678 --> 00:33:14,990
that wants the big wedding,
647
00:33:15,107 --> 00:33:17,498
even though it can be scary
648
00:33:17,647 --> 00:33:20,451
and emotional and cliché...
649
00:33:23,006 --> 00:33:24,717
...I think you deserve that, kid.
650
00:33:24,818 --> 00:33:27,404
Okay?
651
00:33:28,092 --> 00:33:29,279
Okay.
652
00:33:29,654 --> 00:33:32,511
You deserve to walk down the aisle
653
00:33:32,536 --> 00:33:35,980
between your two
stupidly handsome brothers
654
00:33:36,073 --> 00:33:38,707
and feel them love the crap out of you.
655
00:33:39,773 --> 00:33:42,393
You deserve to spend
an obscene amount of money
656
00:33:42,418 --> 00:33:45,911
- on the perfect white dress.
- Well, like, I could...
657
00:33:45,936 --> 00:33:47,340
Oh, I know.
658
00:33:47,645 --> 00:33:49,794
So, if any of that sounds good to you,
659
00:33:50,426 --> 00:33:52,215
then I think that
that's what we should do.
660
00:33:53,481 --> 00:33:56,145
And I know, listen, I know that everyone
661
00:33:56,147 --> 00:33:57,747
that you want to be there
can't be there.
662
00:34:01,965 --> 00:34:03,325
...that that's what he would want.
663
00:34:03,422 --> 00:34:05,706
In fact, I know it is
because I asked him.
664
00:34:06,458 --> 00:34:08,770
Wai... wha... you asked him?
665
00:34:08,911 --> 00:34:11,127
I did. I don't want to talk
about it. It's guy stuff.
666
00:34:11,129 --> 00:34:12,247
- Okay.
- Okay.
667
00:34:13,473 --> 00:34:14,528
So, what do you say?
668
00:34:14,553 --> 00:34:18,732
Will you, please... marry me?
669
00:34:19,254 --> 00:34:20,559
Can't believe... Yes!
670
00:34:20,787 --> 00:34:22,791
Yes, I will marry you.
671
00:34:45,036 --> 00:34:46,889
Dear Judge Bradley,
672
00:34:47,634 --> 00:34:50,224
I noticed you had some
photographs of families
673
00:34:50,249 --> 00:34:51,024
on your wall,
674
00:34:51,024 --> 00:34:53,439
so I thought I'd send you ours.
675
00:34:54,101 --> 00:34:58,768
Randall is my son,
whether you approve or not,
676
00:34:58,793 --> 00:35:00,826
whether you sign a paper or not.
677
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:04,575
And, yes, some things
are harder for us.
678
00:35:05,166 --> 00:35:07,400
Family portraits,
for instance are...
679
00:35:07,714 --> 00:35:09,221
...not our strong suit.
680
00:35:09,948 --> 00:35:14,980
Exposure is tricky for
the Pearsons, so we make do.
681
00:35:15,408 --> 00:35:17,455
But the thing you need to know about us
682
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,189
is that the Pearsons keep at it.
683
00:35:19,214 --> 00:35:20,479
We don't stop.
684
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:23,885
So, I suggest you put us up
on your wall.
685
00:35:24,414 --> 00:35:26,453
Maybe it will help you
get used to our faces
686
00:35:26,477 --> 00:35:30,265
because we will keep coming
until you do your job.
687
00:35:30,601 --> 00:35:35,678
Sincerely, Rebecca Pearson,
Randall's mother.
688
00:35:51,350 --> 00:35:53,563
Oh, my God.
Where the hell have you been?
689
00:35:53,588 --> 00:35:55,408
The hospital said you came by. I...
690
00:35:56,260 --> 00:35:57,533
Kevin, are you okay?
691
00:35:58,838 --> 00:36:01,533
- Are... Hey, c-come inside.
- Sophie, I don't know how to do this.
692
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,759
How to do what? What's wrong?
693
00:36:04,291 --> 00:36:07,075
I didn't just buy one, Soph.
I bought three.
694
00:36:08,197 --> 00:36:11,163
I bought three because
I couldn't decide which one.
695
00:36:11,887 --> 00:36:13,847
Kevin, what are you...
what are you talking about?
696
00:36:13,879 --> 00:36:17,034
I don't know how to be a husband to you.
697
00:36:17,981 --> 00:36:20,272
I don't know how to be a father
to our kids.
698
00:36:21,856 --> 00:36:24,819
I don't. I-I don't have
anything to give you.
699
00:36:24,891 --> 00:36:28,012
There's nothing inside of me
to give to you, okay?
700
00:36:28,037 --> 00:36:29,027
I don't have anything.
701
00:36:29,027 --> 00:36:31,454
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm an empty shell.
702
00:36:34,096 --> 00:36:38,267
Kevin, you're... you're spiraling. Okay?
703
00:36:39,242 --> 00:36:40,725
What's going on? This isn't you.
704
00:36:40,750 --> 00:36:42,716
No, no, no, no. This is me, okay?
705
00:36:42,718 --> 00:36:43,805
This is me.
706
00:36:43,875 --> 00:36:45,196
The guy who comes to your doorstep
707
00:36:45,220 --> 00:36:46,607
and says those things to you?
708
00:36:46,632 --> 00:36:49,412
That-that-that is not me. That's not me.
709
00:36:49,508 --> 00:36:51,288
That-that-that's me
trying to be that guy,
710
00:36:51,288 --> 00:36:52,921
that guy who-who does that kind of thing
711
00:36:52,923 --> 00:36:54,872
or the guy who says
that kind of thing to you.
712
00:36:55,482 --> 00:36:57,866
That's me trying to be my dad, okay?
713
00:36:57,868 --> 00:36:59,083
Or-or-or-or Toby.
714
00:36:59,482 --> 00:37:02,419
Or-or every great man
from every really good movie,
715
00:37:02,444 --> 00:37:05,036
but it's not me, okay?
I was playing a part.
716
00:37:05,271 --> 00:37:07,607
You were disappointed that
I postponed my trip two times?
717
00:37:07,632 --> 00:37:09,022
Trust me when I tell you I'm saving you
718
00:37:09,046 --> 00:37:11,936
from 40 years of disappointment with me.
719
00:37:13,471 --> 00:37:15,630
Kevin, what are you saying
to me right now?
720
00:37:18,579 --> 00:37:21,671
I'm saying when I... when I
dream of our future together...
721
00:37:22,670 --> 00:37:24,178
Sophie, it's a nightmare.
722
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:27,277
For me, okay? It's a nightmare.
723
00:37:28,857 --> 00:37:30,497
Listen, I'm not trying to hurt you.
724
00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:32,513
I don't want to hurt you.
725
00:37:33,256 --> 00:37:34,560
Soph.
726
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:55,608
This has been the longest
three weeks of my life.
727
00:37:55,633 --> 00:37:56,983
Well, he's gonna see us today, babe.
728
00:37:57,007 --> 00:37:59,138
I can... I can feel it.
729
00:37:59,185 --> 00:38:00,536
We got through to him.
730
00:38:00,834 --> 00:38:02,418
Mr. and Mrs. Pearson?
731
00:38:02,443 --> 00:38:04,357
You've been moved to another judge.
732
00:38:05,153 --> 00:38:06,044
What?
733
00:38:06,091 --> 00:38:08,513
Judge Bradley recused himself
from your case.
734
00:38:08,630 --> 00:38:10,322
I'll show you where you'll be.
735
00:38:11,513 --> 00:38:12,623
Okay. Come on.
736
00:38:13,584 --> 00:38:16,695
Recused? Is that
a good or a bad thing?
737
00:38:18,918 --> 00:38:20,364
And who do we have here?
738
00:38:20,602 --> 00:38:24,364
Oh, we usually just call them
one, two and three.
739
00:38:25,020 --> 00:38:26,356
So well-behaved.
740
00:38:26,381 --> 00:38:28,161
Oh, give them time.
741
00:38:29,488 --> 00:38:30,637
Okay.
742
00:38:31,703 --> 00:38:33,742
If you don't mind
raising your right hand...
743
00:38:33,767 --> 00:38:36,062
Okay, one hand will do.
744
00:38:36,064 --> 00:38:38,195
- Shh, okay. Shh, shh, shh.
- Uh, to affirm that the testimony
745
00:38:38,219 --> 00:38:40,312
you are about to give is
the truth, the whole truth
746
00:38:40,337 --> 00:38:41,360
and nothing but the truth.
747
00:38:41,384 --> 00:38:42,394
- Yes.
- We do.
748
00:38:42,419 --> 00:38:44,078
Do you wish to adopt this child
749
00:38:44,103 --> 00:38:45,946
as your legally adopted son?
750
00:38:46,090 --> 00:38:47,323
- We do.
- We do.
751
00:38:47,567 --> 00:38:49,713
And what name shall this child be known?
752
00:38:50,262 --> 00:38:52,831
Um, Randall Kenneth Pearson.
753
00:38:53,823 --> 00:38:55,331
You have done the hard work.
754
00:38:55,356 --> 00:38:56,893
You have chosen to love.
755
00:38:57,354 --> 00:39:01,854
I, on the other hand, have the
pleasure of signing it into law.
756
00:39:01,879 --> 00:39:03,510
Congratulations.
757
00:39:03,535 --> 00:39:06,034
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
758
00:39:09,565 --> 00:39:10,635
Thank you.
759
00:39:30,325 --> 00:39:32,835
Unfortunately,
the cancer is not responding
760
00:39:32,860 --> 00:39:33,829
to the treatment.
761
00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:35,561
There's not much else we can do.
762
00:39:35,954 --> 00:39:39,882
I suggest you try and enjoy
what time you have left.
763
00:40:18,024 --> 00:40:19,283
Hey, little mama.
764
00:40:19,308 --> 00:40:21,194
- Hi.
- Hi, Dad.
765
00:40:21,648 --> 00:40:23,014
What's going on?
766
00:40:23,861 --> 00:40:25,100
- So...
- Hmm?
767
00:40:25,185 --> 00:40:26,311
How was she?
768
00:40:27,388 --> 00:40:28,545
Oh, man.
769
00:40:28,978 --> 00:40:30,670
She was, uh...
770
00:40:31,902 --> 00:40:34,002
everything I thought she'd be
771
00:40:34,027 --> 00:40:36,108
and somehow nothing I expected.
772
00:40:38,334 --> 00:40:39,842
She wants Deja back.
773
00:40:42,553 --> 00:40:43,936
We're falling for this kid.
774
00:40:43,989 --> 00:40:45,100
I know.
775
00:40:45,258 --> 00:40:47,748
Despite ourselves,
despite what everyone's told us,
776
00:40:47,773 --> 00:40:48,959
but we can't just...
777
00:40:52,682 --> 00:40:54,929
I think about William, Beth.
778
00:40:55,588 --> 00:40:57,202
William before we knew him.
779
00:40:57,590 --> 00:40:59,522
He was lost, alone,
780
00:41:00,372 --> 00:41:01,708
missing me...
781
00:41:03,326 --> 00:41:04,497
...needing me.
782
00:41:04,596 --> 00:41:05,684
Coming.
783
00:41:14,115 --> 00:41:15,949
Yeah, stop all that banging.
784
00:41:15,973 --> 00:41:18,427
I heard you the first time.
Who the hell is knocking...
785
00:41:18,452 --> 00:41:19,810
My name is Randall Pearson.
786
00:41:19,835 --> 00:41:21,184
I'm your biological son.
787
00:41:21,506 --> 00:41:23,182
36 years ago, you left me at the...
788
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,395
Ready for night-night?
789
00:41:26,420 --> 00:41:27,809
I think of my parents...
790
00:41:29,114 --> 00:41:31,216
Oh, my sweet, sweet man.
791
00:41:31,241 --> 00:41:33,653
...fiercely protecting me,
792
00:41:33,796 --> 00:41:35,132
wondering for their whole life
793
00:41:35,157 --> 00:41:36,499
if they did right by me.
794
00:41:40,850 --> 00:41:43,194
I think about all those people
making choices
795
00:41:43,219 --> 00:41:46,139
about my life before I could
make choices for myself.
796
00:41:47,099 --> 00:41:48,624
Do anything good lately?
797
00:41:51,499 --> 00:41:52,585
I don't know.
798
00:41:54,261 --> 00:41:55,272
You?
799
00:41:55,575 --> 00:41:56,710
No idea.
800
00:42:02,718 --> 00:42:04,836
And now we're those people, Beth.
801
00:42:05,332 --> 00:42:07,466
We're the adults making
complicated choices
802
00:42:07,491 --> 00:42:09,361
about that little girl's life.
803
00:42:10,846 --> 00:42:13,608
Beth, I gave Shauna our number.
804
00:42:15,131 --> 00:42:17,310
I told her to call collect.
805
00:42:17,385 --> 00:42:18,940
She's calling Deja tonight.
806
00:42:18,965 --> 00:42:21,083
Hey, it's me.
807
00:42:21,814 --> 00:42:23,667
How you doing?
