1
00:00:01,859 --> 00:00:04,031
Previously on This Is Us...
2
00:00:04,074 --> 00:00:07,246
I haven't had a happy life.
Some would call it sad,
3
00:00:07,271 --> 00:00:08,571
but I don't.
4
00:00:11,422 --> 00:00:13,179
Why did you choose to get drunk?
5
00:00:13,204 --> 00:00:15,128
You embarrassed me
in front of my friends.
6
00:00:15,130 --> 00:00:17,764
Deja, your mom might not
be coming back for a while.
7
00:00:17,766 --> 00:00:19,367
What do you mean? Yes, she will.
8
00:00:20,435 --> 00:00:21,554
I'm pregnant.
9
00:00:53,489 --> 00:00:54,890
- Hi.
- Hi.
10
00:00:55,625 --> 00:00:57,558
- Nice to meet you.
- Hey. Come on in.
11
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,260
- How are you?
- Thank you. Very good.
12
00:00:59,262 --> 00:01:01,944
Okay. Right here
is where the babies sleep.
13
00:01:01,969 --> 00:01:04,636
We got Randall right here,
next to Kevin and Kate.
14
00:01:04,638 --> 00:01:06,772
And we are absolutely
getting a changing table
15
00:01:06,774 --> 00:01:09,227
in case you're wondering,
which obviously, you are,
16
00:01:09,252 --> 00:01:11,586
coming to check on prospective
adoptive parents.
17
00:01:11,588 --> 00:01:13,955
- I'm gonna stop talking.
- Yeah. We're really excited.
18
00:01:13,957 --> 00:01:15,418
So excited.
19
00:01:18,795 --> 00:01:20,309
- Hi.
- Hey, Paula.
20
00:01:20,334 --> 00:01:22,569
Evening, Jack. Just wanted to stop in
21
00:01:22,594 --> 00:01:24,461
for a quick little checkup on Randall.
22
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:26,212
Come on in.
23
00:01:26,214 --> 00:01:27,977
Kevin just about bit
my freaking nipple off.
24
00:01:28,002 --> 00:01:29,593
Hey, look, it's Paula.
25
00:01:29,618 --> 00:01:30,836
- Hi, Paula.
- Hi.
26
00:01:30,861 --> 00:01:32,395
- Come on in.
- How's he doing? Hi.
27
00:01:32,419 --> 00:01:33,852
Oh, he's good. He's great.
28
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:36,240
Hi, Paula.
29
00:01:37,266 --> 00:01:38,768
- How are you?
- Good.
30
00:01:41,047 --> 00:01:43,997
This is leftover from yesterday.
Now, we don't usually give
31
00:01:43,999 --> 00:01:45,141
Randall too much sugar.
32
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:47,141
I just figured, for a first birthday...
33
00:01:47,166 --> 00:01:49,713
Rebecca, your kids
can have birthday cake.
34
00:01:49,738 --> 00:01:50,904
I won't hold it against you.
35
00:01:50,906 --> 00:01:52,422
- Okay, thanks.
- So, the judge,
36
00:01:52,447 --> 00:01:54,157
he has all this paperwork?
37
00:01:54,182 --> 00:01:56,478
Yes, along with
my glowing recommendation.
38
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:58,943
Now, this next part is just a formality.
39
00:01:59,248 --> 00:02:00,904
You'll go before Judge Bradley,
40
00:02:00,929 --> 00:02:02,615
and he'll ask you a few questions, like,
41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,440
"Do you wish to adopt this child?"
42
00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:06,693
And you'll say, "Yes, we do."
43
00:02:07,023 --> 00:02:08,835
- We need to commemorate this moment.
- No, babe,
44
00:02:08,859 --> 00:02:10,655
- I-I don't think we need anymore...
- We need pictures.
45
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:12,895
- We need new pictures.
- We're gonna get new pictures.
46
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,607
Okay. That's good.
47
00:02:22,679 --> 00:02:27,105
I'm having a little trouble
balancing your skin tones.
48
00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:28,731
So, what are these for? First birthday?
49
00:02:28,756 --> 00:02:30,684
No, they're for our adoption notice
50
00:02:30,709 --> 00:02:32,051
for our son, Randall.
51
00:02:32,381 --> 00:02:34,208
Bet you can't guess
which one Randall is.
52
00:02:34,233 --> 00:02:35,302
Sorry.
53
00:02:35,326 --> 00:02:37,662
We don't get a lot of families
that look like yours in here.
54
00:02:37,686 --> 00:02:40,106
Either you're blown out,
or Randall's a dark blob.
55
00:02:40,131 --> 00:02:42,059
- Shh.
- You know what? Just do your best.
56
00:02:42,084 --> 00:02:43,278
- It happens a lot.
- Yeah.
57
00:02:43,303 --> 00:02:45,817
We got about 30 seconds...
Before one of them craps, barfs,
58
00:02:45,842 --> 00:02:48,075
- or all three just lose their minds.
- Yep.
59
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:49,911
All right, big smiles on three.
60
00:02:49,936 --> 00:02:52,114
One, two, three.
61
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:53,747
Steelers!
62
00:02:54,091 --> 00:02:57,369
Face right.
63
00:02:57,535 --> 00:03:00,295
The court accepts
your guilty plea, Mr. Hill.
64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,044
And since you are unable to post bail,
65
00:03:03,069 --> 00:03:05,911
you'll be remanded
until your sentencing hearing.
66
00:03:06,135 --> 00:03:07,404
Do you understand?
67
00:03:09,849 --> 00:03:11,083
You have no record.
68
00:03:11,643 --> 00:03:13,786
Not so much as a traffic violation.
69
00:03:14,739 --> 00:03:18,349
So, I must admit, I find this
arrest rather disappointing.
70
00:03:20,102 --> 00:03:22,864
What would you have me do, Your Honor?
71
00:03:25,991 --> 00:03:27,357
On every corner,
72
00:03:28,076 --> 00:03:29,458
there's someone selling,
73
00:03:30,847 --> 00:03:35,192
so I buy... and I use.
74
00:03:35,913 --> 00:03:38,606
If you had my life,
you'd probably use, too.
75
00:03:40,698 --> 00:03:43,148
Just a year ago, my mother was alive,
76
00:03:44,941 --> 00:03:46,666
and my girl was alive,
77
00:03:48,418 --> 00:03:50,283
and we were having a son.
78
00:03:51,913 --> 00:03:53,174
Now, they're gone.
79
00:03:54,519 --> 00:03:56,449
- They're all gone.
- Mr. Hill...
80
00:03:56,474 --> 00:04:00,504
So, I come here, and you tell me
you're disappointed?
81
00:04:02,329 --> 00:04:03,371
Well, guess what?
82
00:04:04,539 --> 00:04:06,082
I am more disappointed.
83
00:04:07,058 --> 00:04:09,254
I am the most disappointed man
84
00:04:09,279 --> 00:04:11,566
you've ever met in your whole damn life.
85
00:04:13,163 --> 00:04:15,764
So, if you want to lock me up,
lock me up.
86
00:04:16,630 --> 00:04:20,259
Put me inside, because there is
nothing out here for me anymore.

88
00:04:43,234 --> 00:04:44,165
Thanks.
89
00:04:44,190 --> 00:04:45,797
No, we'll see you at 10:00.
90
00:04:46,398 --> 00:04:47,859
- Who was that?
- Uh, Linda.
91
00:04:47,884 --> 00:04:50,304
Deja and me are meeting her
at the clink this morning.
92
00:04:50,313 --> 00:04:53,289
"The clink"? Baby, why you sound
like a character from The Wire?
93
00:04:53,314 --> 00:04:54,726
Because it's not fair, Beth.
94
00:04:55,210 --> 00:04:58,271
I mean, Deja's 12 years old,
and I got to take her to visit
95
00:04:58,296 --> 00:04:59,989
a woman who thinks it's perfectly fine
96
00:05:00,014 --> 00:05:01,281
to drive her daughter around
97
00:05:01,281 --> 00:05:03,781
with an unlicensed gun
in the glove compartment.
98
00:05:03,783 --> 00:05:05,749
I know you're not looking
forward to this, babe,
99
00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:06,949
but it's court-ordered.
100
00:05:06,951 --> 00:05:08,151
The woman's a criminal.
101
00:05:08,198 --> 00:05:09,818
Who's also her mother.
102
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,855
You know what? I'm-a come with y'all.
103
00:05:12,857 --> 00:05:14,418
I'm gonna just push
my 10:00 and make sure...
104
00:05:14,442 --> 00:05:17,133
No, nope. I-I got this. You go to work.
105
00:05:17,621 --> 00:05:19,621
Somebody's got to pay
for my cold brew habit.
106
00:05:19,623 --> 00:05:21,605
These beans don't grow on trees.
107
00:05:21,706 --> 00:05:23,073
You know, actually, they do.
108
00:05:23,285 --> 00:05:24,584
I mean, technically,
it's not a tree, but...
109
00:05:24,586 --> 00:05:26,550
- I got it.
- Okay.
110
00:05:27,339 --> 00:05:28,791
Morning, Destiny's Children.
111
00:05:28,816 --> 00:05:29,980
- Good morning!
- Morning!
112
00:05:30,005 --> 00:05:31,050
Hey.
113
00:05:31,448 --> 00:05:32,815
You look very pretty.
114
00:05:32,985 --> 00:05:34,779
- Nice dress.
- Thanks.
115
00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:37,717
Um... It's my mom's favorite.
116
00:05:38,496 --> 00:05:39,550
Car bagel?
117
00:05:41,297 --> 00:05:42,440
Let's go.
118
00:05:42,796 --> 00:05:43,862
See you, guys.
119
00:05:44,374 --> 00:05:45,800
- Bye, baby.
- Bye, babe.
120
00:05:45,901 --> 00:05:47,486
Who's driving? You or me?
121
00:05:48,258 --> 00:05:49,308
Me?
122
00:06:00,582 --> 00:06:01,629
Baby, what's up?
123
00:06:01,654 --> 00:06:03,975
Hey, are you all packed for your flight?
124
00:06:04,026 --> 00:06:06,291
I stocked up on all your favorites.
125
00:06:06,782 --> 00:06:09,806
Even that weird tea that I can't say.
126
00:06:09,939 --> 00:06:11,839
It's... ma-macha...
127
00:06:11,841 --> 00:06:13,299
- Mach-ta?
- Matcha.
128
00:06:13,324 --> 00:06:15,157
Right. Um, also,
129
00:06:15,182 --> 00:06:16,731
I'm-I'm trying to change my shift,
130
00:06:16,756 --> 00:06:18,116
so I can pick you up from the airport.
131
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:19,150
Oh...
132
00:06:19,901 --> 00:06:22,819
Yeah, uh... L-Listen,
we might have to push that...
133
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:25,235
till next week,
because there's this, uh,
134
00:06:25,237 --> 00:06:26,670
there's this director out here
135
00:06:26,672 --> 00:06:28,192
that my agent really wants me to meet.
136
00:06:29,086 --> 00:06:32,114
Kevin, this is the third time
you've pushed.
137
00:06:32,747 --> 00:06:35,089
- I know. You're right.
- Just be honest.
138
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,345
Do you even want to move out here?
139
00:06:37,771 --> 00:06:39,337
What? Do I want to... of course
I want to move out there.
140
00:06:39,339 --> 00:06:40,594
What are you talking about?
141
00:06:40,619 --> 00:06:42,391
Because it feels like you're stalling,
142
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,837
and it's getting ridiculous.
143
00:06:44,862 --> 00:06:46,680
- Soph, listen...
- Kev, you came to me.
144
00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:49,250
You showed up at my door.
I was doing just fine,
145
00:06:49,275 --> 00:06:51,275
and you showed up, and you said
all that stuff, and,
146
00:06:51,277 --> 00:06:52,860
you know...
147
00:06:55,149 --> 00:06:57,266
Crap, I have to go. Listen, just...
148
00:06:59,359 --> 00:07:00,703
Let's just talk about it later.
149
00:07:01,013 --> 00:07:02,367
- Okay?
- Okay.
150
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:03,883
All right.
151
00:07:04,886 --> 00:07:06,383
Hey, Soph, uh...
152
00:07:08,076 --> 00:07:09,676
I just want to tell you that I love you.
153
00:07:09,814 --> 00:07:10,826
So...
154
00:07:12,069 --> 00:07:13,154
Soph?
155
00:07:22,628 --> 00:07:24,162
Oh, Soph.
156
00:07:47,556 --> 00:07:49,193
How long is he gonna take?
157
00:07:49,275 --> 00:07:51,118
I don't... Yep... yep.
158
00:07:51,462 --> 00:07:53,125
- What's up, Mount Keverest?
- Kev!
159
00:07:53,150 --> 00:07:54,353
All right, make it quick, all right?
160
00:07:54,377 --> 00:07:56,032
Because I got to go home and pack.
161
00:07:56,057 --> 00:07:58,180
I'm flying to New York tonight
to promise Sophie
162
00:07:58,205 --> 00:07:59,805
that I would fix things with her, so...
163
00:08:01,108 --> 00:08:03,105
Okay, you're gonna want to sit for this.
164
00:08:03,306 --> 00:08:04,399
Follow me.
165
00:08:06,423 --> 00:08:08,235
So, this is it?
This is the big surprise?
166
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:10,563
You guys have just, you know,
given up, fashion-wise?
167
00:08:11,345 --> 00:08:12,416
Okay.
168
00:08:12,441 --> 00:08:13,524
One...
169
00:08:13,549 --> 00:08:14,571
A-two...
170
00:08:14,822 --> 00:08:16,384
- A-three.
- A-three.
171
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:20,991
Uh...
172
00:08:21,462 --> 00:08:22,704
We're pregnant.
173
00:08:23,977 --> 00:08:25,001
You're preg...
174
00:08:25,026 --> 00:08:26,486
- W-We're pregnant.
- Oh, my God!
175
00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:28,634
This is amazing! What
am I doing over there?
176
00:08:28,659 --> 00:08:29,759
- Ten weeks.
- This is great.
177
00:08:29,783 --> 00:08:31,384
- I-I'm shocked.
- Oh, yeah!
178
00:08:31,409 --> 00:08:32,931
All right, this is fantastic.
179
00:08:32,956 --> 00:08:34,368
I mean, is he gonna be
the best dad ever?
180
00:08:34,392 --> 00:08:35,556
- I don't know.
- Uh, yeah.
181
00:08:35,581 --> 00:08:37,540
Giving the best fatherly advice.
182
00:08:37,565 --> 00:08:38,759
Can you see him?
183
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:40,368
Yeah, I can.
184
00:08:40,393 --> 00:08:42,460
- Act... I really, I can.
- I don't know.
185
00:08:42,485 --> 00:08:44,952
Uh, no, I think so. And you're
gonna read bedtime stories.
186
00:08:51,565 --> 00:08:54,338
- Shh... Hey. Hey, sweetie.
- Shh, shh, shh..
187
00:08:54,466 --> 00:08:55,403
Pearsons?
188
00:08:55,428 --> 00:08:56,912
- We're here, we're here.
- That's us.
189
00:08:56,936 --> 00:08:58,177
Shh, shh, it's okay.
190
00:08:58,202 --> 00:08:59,301
Hi.
191
00:08:59,389 --> 00:09:01,971
- Sorry, there's a few of us.
- Hello.
192
00:09:02,619 --> 00:09:03,978
I have read your report,
193
00:09:04,004 --> 00:09:06,472
and I have some questions
about your home visits.
194
00:09:06,497 --> 00:09:08,463
Uh, I'd like to speak
with your social worker,
195
00:09:08,525 --> 00:09:09,768
"Paula Miller"?
196
00:09:09,902 --> 00:09:11,398
She's not here, sir.
197
00:09:11,668 --> 00:09:14,590
Uh, she told us that
everything you would need
198
00:09:14,615 --> 00:09:16,222
could be found in our file.
199
00:09:16,412 --> 00:09:17,418
Hmm.
200
00:09:17,511 --> 00:09:19,848
Well, as I said, I have some questions.
201
00:09:20,004 --> 00:09:22,169
Uh, so, right now,
we're about three weeks out.
202
00:09:22,169 --> 00:09:24,472
My clerk with put you back
on the docket. Thank you.
203
00:09:24,707 --> 00:09:26,888
- The Andersons?
- Come on.
204
00:09:27,367 --> 00:09:29,103
- All right.
- Okay.
205
00:09:39,463 --> 00:09:40,720
Um, maybe we can, uh,
206
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:42,189
s-sit over...
207
00:09:43,187 --> 00:09:45,733
- Hold on.
- W-What are you doing?
208
00:09:46,231 --> 00:09:47,293
It's... My bad.
209
00:09:47,318 --> 00:09:48,543
Parental instinct.
210
00:09:48,568 --> 00:09:50,199
I've seen people in handcuffs before.
211
00:09:50,224 --> 00:09:51,356
I'm not scared.
212
00:09:51,682 --> 00:09:52,949
No, of course.
213
00:09:53,851 --> 00:09:55,484
I've seen people
in handcuffs, too, so...
214
00:09:55,564 --> 00:09:57,723
Oh, really? In real life, or on TV?
215
00:09:57,748 --> 00:09:59,324
Come on, man. Real life.
216
00:10:05,272 --> 00:10:06,436
Oh, hey, guys.
217
00:10:06,461 --> 00:10:07,733
- Hi.
- Hi, Miss Linda.
218
00:10:07,758 --> 00:10:11,186
So, Deja, you're gonna be in a
special visiting area today.
219
00:10:11,246 --> 00:10:13,479
No glass divides or telephones.
220
00:10:13,504 --> 00:10:15,265
You're gonna be able to hug your mom.
221
00:10:17,652 --> 00:10:18,851
- Cool.
- Shall we?
222
00:10:18,876 --> 00:10:20,042
Yeah.
223
00:11:00,163 --> 00:11:02,257
Jack, I don't understand.
224
00:11:02,257 --> 00:11:04,630
Paula raved about us in our file.
225
00:11:04,656 --> 00:11:07,366
What does the judge want
to talk to her about?
226
00:11:08,913 --> 00:11:10,123
Let's go find out.
227
00:11:10,453 --> 00:11:11,453
What?
228
00:11:11,478 --> 00:11:12,945
No. Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack.
229
00:11:12,970 --> 00:11:14,716
Excuse me, Judge Bradley. Hi.
230
00:11:14,815 --> 00:11:17,479
Jack Pearson. My-my wife Rebecca.
231
00:11:17,504 --> 00:11:18,604
I remember.
232
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:20,400
And you're not supposed to approach me
233
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,989
- outside the courtroom.
- Yeah, but... I'm sorry. I know.
234
00:11:23,014 --> 00:11:25,750
We're very sorry, sir,
but, um, is there any way
235
00:11:25,775 --> 00:11:27,685
that we could talk to you
for just one minute?
236
00:11:27,885 --> 00:11:28,966
Please?
237
00:11:31,621 --> 00:11:32,808
Come in my chambers.
238
00:11:39,162 --> 00:11:40,574
Your curls are killing it.
239
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,634
What do they call that, a big chop?
240
00:11:43,208 --> 00:11:45,704
Your mom's gonna love it.
241
00:11:47,451 --> 00:11:49,196
Hey, I'll be right back.
242
00:11:52,486 --> 00:11:54,973
What's up? We've been
waiting for a while.
243
00:11:55,796 --> 00:11:57,170
Shauna's not coming.
244
00:11:57,991 --> 00:11:59,989
What do you mean, Shauna's not coming?
245
00:12:00,868 --> 00:12:02,495
She opted out of seeing Deja.
246
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,690
It happens sometimes.
247
00:12:04,647 --> 00:12:06,002
I don't understand.
248
00:12:06,027 --> 00:12:07,635
You said this was a mandatory visit.
249
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:09,237
She has the right to opt out.
250
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:11,026
I'm sorry, what about...
251
00:12:11,051 --> 00:12:12,518
- what about Deja's rights?
- I...
252
00:12:12,543 --> 00:12:14,110
We've been looking forward
to this for weeks.
253
00:12:14,135 --> 00:12:16,449
- I know. I'm sorry.
- That's great.
254
00:12:16,474 --> 00:12:18,993
I'll let Deja know you're sorry.
I'm sure that'll help.
255
00:12:19,227 --> 00:12:21,660
- Excuse me?
- Sometimes I can't help but wonder
256
00:12:21,685 --> 00:12:23,858
if anyone's actually
looking out for these kids.
257
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:26,529
You wonder if...
258
00:12:30,734 --> 00:12:32,635
Randall, last month we got a girl
259
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:35,750
who had an ear infection
when she was an infant.
260
00:12:35,905 --> 00:12:39,151
- Just a minor little ear infection.
- Mm-hmm.
261
00:12:39,176 --> 00:12:42,432
Totally treatable... except her
birth parents didn't treat it.
262
00:12:42,497 --> 00:12:44,217
They ignored it for six months,
263
00:12:44,242 --> 00:12:46,108
and now she's four and she's deaf.
264
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,339
Do you know how hard it is
to find someone
265
00:12:48,364 --> 00:12:50,082
who'll take in a deaf four-year-old?
266
00:12:50,209 --> 00:12:52,175
Do you know how many times
267
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,334
I have held up a photograph of her
268
00:12:54,359 --> 00:12:56,889
and shown prospective foster parents,
269
00:12:56,914 --> 00:12:59,178
and I've watched their faces light up?
270
00:12:59,262 --> 00:13:01,358
And then I watched
those smiles disappear
271
00:13:01,383 --> 00:13:02,819
when I tell them she's deaf.
272
00:13:03,571 --> 00:13:05,522
Do you know how to say, "Sorry, sweetie,
273
00:13:05,547 --> 00:13:08,623
we still haven't found a family
for you," in sign language?
274
00:13:08,648 --> 00:13:10,116
Because I do.
275
00:13:10,682 --> 00:13:11,819
So, please...
276
00:13:12,908 --> 00:13:15,272
don't tell me you wonder
if anyone's out there
277
00:13:15,297 --> 00:13:17,156
looking out for these kids.
278
00:13:22,273 --> 00:13:23,736
I'm sorry, Linda.
279
00:13:32,837 --> 00:13:34,974
Did Shauna say why
she didn't want to see her?
280
00:13:35,895 --> 00:13:36,931
No.
281
00:13:54,739 --> 00:13:56,562
Apparently, there was a mix-up,
282
00:13:56,929 --> 00:13:58,519
and, um...
283
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,333
our visit wasn't cleared
with the folks here.
284
00:14:04,738 --> 00:14:06,110
So she's not coming?
285
00:14:09,568 --> 00:14:11,143
I'm so sorry, Deja.
286
00:14:11,858 --> 00:14:14,657
I know how much you were looking
forward to seeing your mom.
287
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,903
Um... could I go get my purse?
288
00:14:26,453 --> 00:14:28,141
Yeah, we can get it on the way back.
289
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:29,446
No, I need it now.
290
00:14:29,822 --> 00:14:30,876
Why?
291
00:14:32,098 --> 00:14:35,122
I've been saving up
my allowance for my mom,
292
00:14:35,147 --> 00:14:37,971
so that she can get
everything she needs in here.
293
00:14:40,563 --> 00:14:41,733
Okay.
294
00:14:43,580 --> 00:14:46,241
We'll go get your purse, then figure
out who to give the money to.
295
00:15:02,798 --> 00:15:04,083
- Congratulations.
- I'm glad you came over.
296
00:15:04,107 --> 00:15:05,973
- Thank you for coming, you guys.
- Hey.
297
00:15:05,998 --> 00:15:07,872
- I'm so... happy for you.
- Thanks, man. Oh. Yeah. Okay.
298
00:15:07,896 --> 00:15:08,933
All right.
299
00:15:09,123 --> 00:15:10,278
- All right, love you guys.
- Love you.
300
00:15:10,302 --> 00:15:11,652
All right. All right.
301
00:15:13,715 --> 00:15:14,777
That went great.
302
00:15:15,912 --> 00:15:17,336
Did he seem off to you?
303
00:15:17,361 --> 00:15:19,327
Uh, yeah, I guess he seemed a little...
304
00:15:19,785 --> 00:15:21,664
- a little distracted.
- Yeah.
305
00:15:21,814 --> 00:15:23,365
Okay, so, we told Kev.
306
00:15:23,965 --> 00:15:25,108
Now on to your mom.
307
00:15:25,478 --> 00:15:27,053
No, uh, wait.
308
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:29,192
Yeah, see, still... it's a little early.
309
00:15:29,217 --> 00:15:31,451
And so we should,
uh, we should just give her
310
00:15:31,476 --> 00:15:33,281
a couple of hours to get
through her "Judge Block."
311
00:15:33,305 --> 00:15:36,085
- I'm sorry, the... the what?
- Uh, Judge Judy,
312
00:15:36,110 --> 00:15:37,663
Judge Mathis, Divorce Court.
313
00:15:37,688 --> 00:15:40,413
Uh, she can't be...
kind of disturbed during that.
314
00:15:40,438 --> 00:15:42,997
So... we'll just call her after.
That's fine.
315
00:15:43,513 --> 00:15:44,796
- Tobe?
- Mm-hmm?
316
00:15:45,738 --> 00:15:48,403
Are you scared to tell your mom
that her Catholic son is having
317
00:15:48,428 --> 00:15:49,989
- a baby out of wedlock?
- Am I scared?
318
00:15:50,014 --> 00:15:52,568
- Mm-hmm.
- No. I am terrified.
319
00:15:52,593 --> 00:15:54,960
Do you remember how she reacted
when we told her that we
320
00:15:54,985 --> 00:15:58,138
- were moving in together?
- Yeah. A lot of tears.
321
00:15:58,193 --> 00:16:01,127
But she... you know, she got over it.
322
00:16:01,152 --> 00:16:02,163
Yes, she did.
323
00:16:02,188 --> 00:16:04,569
But bun in the unmarried oven
324
00:16:04,594 --> 00:16:06,817
is like a whole new level of freak out.
325
00:16:06,950 --> 00:16:08,723
Yeah. Okay, it's ringing.
326
00:16:08,748 --> 00:16:11,776
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Are we doing this?
- Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
327
00:16:11,801 --> 00:16:13,988
Okay, well, she's not gonna
answer, 'cause Judge Judy is on.
328
00:16:14,012 --> 00:16:15,772
- She might.
- I'm not gonna leave a message.
329
00:16:16,059 --> 00:16:18,073
- I should?
- I don't know.
330
00:16:18,098 --> 00:16:20,065
Her voice mail picked up.
Am I leaving a message?
331
00:16:20,067 --> 00:16:22,294
I shouldn't leave this on-on
her answering machine, should I?
332
00:16:22,318 --> 00:16:23,879
Kate, am I leaving a message right now?
333
00:16:23,904 --> 00:16:24,962
Okay, okay. Wow.
334
00:16:27,723 --> 00:16:29,426
- Ooh.
- Sorry.
335
00:16:34,687 --> 00:16:35,804
Let's get married.
336
00:16:36,256 --> 00:16:37,424
Yeah, we're going to.
337
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:41,394
No. Let's just go to
the courthouse and get married.
338
00:16:42,371 --> 00:16:43,457
Really?
339
00:16:43,939 --> 00:16:45,022
Why not?
340
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,916
Nothing about our relationship
has been traditional.
341
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:50,888
I proposed to you when
I thought you were unconscious.
342
00:16:50,913 --> 00:16:53,841
You know, we decided to have
a nice, long engagement,
343
00:16:53,866 --> 00:16:55,923
to slow things down, and then boom!
344
00:16:56,537 --> 00:16:57,958
You knocked me up, so...
345
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,037
Are you for real?
346
00:17:02,498 --> 00:17:03,708
Let's get married.
347
00:17:12,670 --> 00:17:13,841
Your Honor...
348
00:17:14,649 --> 00:17:17,137
Randall has been with us
for over a year...
349
00:17:17,162 --> 00:17:20,297
Look, let me save you some time
by being direct.
350
00:17:23,023 --> 00:17:25,956
I don't believe that child
belongs in your home.
351
00:17:26,991 --> 00:17:28,378
- What?
- Excuse me?
352
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:30,662
That child belongs with a black family.
353
00:17:30,738 --> 00:17:32,022
Mr. and Mrs. Pearson,
354
00:17:33,266 --> 00:17:34,485
how else...
355
00:17:34,748 --> 00:17:37,896
will he see himself,
understand who he is?
356
00:17:39,715 --> 00:17:41,114
'Cause we will...
357
00:17:41,234 --> 00:17:43,413
teach him all of that.
358
00:17:43,843 --> 00:17:44,614
Yeah.
359
00:17:44,614 --> 00:17:46,304
- You will teach him?
- Yeah.
360
00:17:47,104 --> 00:17:49,762
Mrs. Pearson, I was nine years old
361
00:17:49,787 --> 00:17:51,818
before I understood that I was black.
362
00:17:52,046 --> 00:17:53,804
Now, I understood my skin color,
363
00:17:53,807 --> 00:17:56,514
the color of my friends and my parents,
364
00:17:56,648 --> 00:18:00,329
but I never really understood
what my blackness meant
365
00:18:00,467 --> 00:18:03,668
until a white man called me a nigger.
366
00:18:05,616 --> 00:18:07,278
And my father sat me down,
367
00:18:07,278 --> 00:18:09,284
and he explained to me
what that word meant.
368
00:18:09,652 --> 00:18:12,615
He didn't... sympathize
or feel sorry for me,
369
00:18:12,617 --> 00:18:16,916
because he understood all
the pain that that word elicits.
370
00:18:18,074 --> 00:18:21,508
My father had been called that word
371
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:24,444
more times in his life
than he could count.
372
00:18:26,871 --> 00:18:30,310
Now, you see, what you have
in your possession
373
00:18:30,312 --> 00:18:34,128
is a black child who will
grow up to become a black man,
374
00:18:34,153 --> 00:18:35,261
and my fear...
375
00:18:36,456 --> 00:18:39,133
is that he won't have
the tools he needs in his life
376
00:18:39,135 --> 00:18:40,904
if he stays in your home.
377
00:18:42,931 --> 00:18:45,289
I'm... I'm sorry, sir.
378
00:18:45,613 --> 00:18:49,148
With all due respect... to your opinion,
379
00:18:49,173 --> 00:18:51,582
our son was left in a box
380
00:18:51,607 --> 00:18:53,115
outside of a fire station...
381
00:18:53,115 --> 00:18:55,083
And there are places,
and there are people
382
00:18:55,108 --> 00:18:56,908
who will care for him
383
00:18:56,971 --> 00:18:59,822
until he can be paired
with a suitable family.
384
00:19:00,963 --> 00:19:02,290
Now, that's my opinion.
385
00:19:02,315 --> 00:19:04,424
It will not change.
386
00:19:05,128 --> 00:19:08,030
Now, I said that this is...
inappropriate.
387
00:19:09,406 --> 00:19:11,394
I will see you at your next court date.
388
00:19:22,447 --> 00:19:26,295
If you're going for a more
vintage vibe, rose gold is
389
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,608
- very "right now."
- Okay. Well, you know,
390
00:19:28,633 --> 00:19:30,654
I got to be on a red-eye
in about an hour here, Roger.
391
00:19:30,654 --> 00:19:32,621
So just, you know, show me
whatever's the most sparkly.
392
00:19:32,645 --> 00:19:33,887
- Got it.
- Okay.
393
00:19:35,074 --> 00:19:36,680
Do I know you from somewhere?
394
00:19:36,705 --> 00:19:38,381
I'm a famous person, Roger.
395
00:19:38,406 --> 00:19:40,273
Yeah, just, you know,
show me the diamonds.
396
00:19:40,298 --> 00:19:41,254
Let's see the goods.
397
00:19:41,254 --> 00:19:42,666
Ooh, that's good.
398
00:19:43,009 --> 00:19:45,243
This is... this is like
something my dad would do
399
00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:46,674
after he messed up with my mom.
400
00:19:46,699 --> 00:19:51,181
He would... do something big like
this, something romantic. You know?
401
00:19:51,206 --> 00:19:53,620
Well, proposing is definitely romantic.
402
00:19:53,645 --> 00:19:54,571
Yeah.
403
00:19:54,596 --> 00:19:57,422
Uh, all our selections
are conflict-free.
404
00:19:59,048 --> 00:20:00,517
Well, uh, Sophie will love that.
405
00:20:00,542 --> 00:20:02,267
That's good news. She hates conflict.
406
00:20:02,292 --> 00:20:03,642
You know. Hates it.
407
00:20:03,947 --> 00:20:07,017
I haven't exactly been the best
boyfriend lately, but I think...
408
00:20:07,808 --> 00:20:08,980
we're gonna be fine.
409
00:20:09,605 --> 00:20:11,582
- I'm sure you will.
- Yeah.
410
00:20:12,163 --> 00:20:13,335
I really love her.
411
00:20:14,074 --> 00:20:15,281
I'm sure you do.
412
00:20:21,179 --> 00:20:23,874
You know what? We're gonna do all three.
413
00:20:23,876 --> 00:20:26,342
Okay? I'll just get these three;
We'll let her decide.
414
00:20:27,224 --> 00:20:29,021
I'll just wrap this up.
415
00:20:31,745 --> 00:20:33,151
So, after I issue you
416
00:20:33,176 --> 00:20:35,601
the marriage license,
you come back here tomorrow
417
00:20:35,626 --> 00:20:37,586
for the ceremony, bring a witness,
418
00:20:37,719 --> 00:20:39,524
and whoosh, you're married.
419
00:20:39,851 --> 00:20:42,985
"Whoosh"? What is that,
the sound a marriage makes?
420
00:20:43,182 --> 00:20:44,204
It is here.
421
00:20:46,641 --> 00:20:48,150
I never imagined getting married
422
00:20:48,174 --> 00:20:49,657
under so many fluorescent lights.
423
00:20:49,682 --> 00:20:52,042
Yeah, but think of all the money
that we're gonna be saving.
424
00:20:52,409 --> 00:20:53,749
And all the other wedding crap
425
00:20:53,774 --> 00:20:55,039
- that we get out of.
- Totally.
426
00:20:55,064 --> 00:20:56,509
I don't have to go
wedding dress shopping.
427
00:20:56,533 --> 00:20:58,657
- Hell no, you don't.
- Right? Listen to them
428
00:20:58,682 --> 00:21:01,902
break it to me that none of
the pretty ones come in my size.
429
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:03,664
Oh, and I don't have to listen
430
00:21:03,689 --> 00:21:05,344
to those random wedding guests
431
00:21:05,369 --> 00:21:07,219
come up to me
every five minutes and say,
432
00:21:07,244 --> 00:21:09,508
"Oh, your father would have
loved the day."
433
00:21:09,533 --> 00:21:11,467
Oh, and then, "Who's
gonna walk you down the aisle?"
434
00:21:11,491 --> 00:21:12,624
And father-daughter dance.
435
00:21:12,649 --> 00:21:13,742
Like, whatever.
436
00:21:14,513 --> 00:21:16,133
This is way better.
437
00:21:16,157 --> 00:21:17,546
Just get it over with.
438
00:21:17,571 --> 00:21:19,538
- Yeah.
- You guys are all set.
439
00:21:19,563 --> 00:21:20,671
See you back here tomorrow.
440
00:21:20,696 --> 00:21:21,936
- Okay.
- Uh, thanks.
441
00:21:21,987 --> 00:21:23,993
- Thank you.
- Congrats.
442
00:21:26,604 --> 00:21:27,353
Yeah.
443
00:21:37,128 --> 00:21:38,448
So this should be pretty quick.
444
00:21:38,473 --> 00:21:40,040
We'll just be in and out in...
445
00:21:41,362 --> 00:21:42,865
Your Honor, what is this meeting?
446
00:21:42,890 --> 00:21:44,323
I didn't know we'd be having any kind...
447
00:21:44,325 --> 00:21:46,297
I wanted a word with Mr. Hill,
448
00:21:46,322 --> 00:21:48,871
before his sentencing, in private.
449
00:21:49,172 --> 00:21:51,063
Sir, I can't advise my client
450
00:21:51,065 --> 00:21:52,680
to waive his rights
to speak to you or...
451
00:21:52,705 --> 00:21:53,758
It's okay.
452
00:21:55,670 --> 00:21:56,947
I'll be right outside.
453
00:22:09,387 --> 00:22:12,183
I gave a young man ten years today.
454
00:22:12,687 --> 00:22:14,178
Younger than you.
455
00:22:15,488 --> 00:22:16,808
He stole a TV.
456
00:22:17,847 --> 00:22:19,683
Ten years for stealing a TV.
457
00:22:19,719 --> 00:22:21,501
It wasn't even a good TV.
458
00:22:23,102 --> 00:22:24,880
I didn't want to do it,
459
00:22:26,269 --> 00:22:29,453
just like I didn't want
to give five years
460
00:22:29,478 --> 00:22:31,612
to a different fella yesterday,
461
00:22:31,716 --> 00:22:34,516
15 years to another guy
the day before that.
462
00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:37,138
I'm a judge,
463
00:22:38,162 --> 00:22:39,592
and the strange thing is...
464
00:22:40,786 --> 00:22:42,185
I don't make the rules.
465
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,153
So, round and round it goes.
466
00:22:49,199 --> 00:22:53,747
I know the ending
to each one of those stories.
467
00:22:55,811 --> 00:22:57,780
And they haven't even been written yet.
468
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:03,192
I'm here, Mr. Hill, because
you said something yesterday,
469
00:23:03,217 --> 00:23:04,728
and it stuck with me.
470
00:23:06,092 --> 00:23:08,855
You said you were the most
disappointed man in the world.
471
00:23:10,008 --> 00:23:11,465
And I'm here to tell you,
472
00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:14,466
I fear I am a close second, Mr. Hill.
473
00:23:15,764 --> 00:23:19,528
Because I'm the man who writes
terrible stories day after day,
474
00:23:19,553 --> 00:23:21,520
and I can't change the endings.
475
00:23:22,434 --> 00:23:23,677
And that, sir,
476
00:23:24,644 --> 00:23:28,728
is a horrible... disappointment.
477
00:23:31,072 --> 00:23:34,669
So, I want to see if we can find
you a different ending here.
478
00:23:35,930 --> 00:23:37,686
I'm gonna take a chance on you,
479
00:23:38,341 --> 00:23:40,116
get you out, get you help.
480
00:23:41,452 --> 00:23:43,287
I don't expect you to be perfect.
481
00:23:43,502 --> 00:23:46,031
I know you'll make mistakes,
just like the rest of us.
482
00:23:47,131 --> 00:23:49,191
But I will ask one thing of you.
483
00:23:51,209 --> 00:23:52,295
Yes, sir.
484
00:23:53,725 --> 00:23:55,880
I want you to look at my face.
485
00:23:56,998 --> 00:23:59,131
I want you to look at this too tired,
486
00:23:59,156 --> 00:24:02,388
too old, too fat face.
487
00:24:03,842 --> 00:24:05,708
Lock it in your brain.
488
00:24:07,057 --> 00:24:08,823
And if you ever start heading
489
00:24:08,848 --> 00:24:11,064
toward the ending I don't want to write,
490
00:24:12,056 --> 00:24:14,017
I want you to picture this ugly old mug.
491
00:24:14,042 --> 00:24:18,538
You picture this face,
and you make a different choice.
492
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,682
Can you do that?
493
00:24:23,979 --> 00:24:26,666
Can you find me a different
ending to your story?
494
00:24:29,757 --> 00:24:30,923
Yes.
495
00:24:41,827 --> 00:24:43,467
How is she? She say anything?
496
00:24:43,492 --> 00:24:46,131
Not really.
She just wanted to go to sleep.
497
00:24:46,436 --> 00:24:49,155
You should've seen her today,
Beth, with that little purse.
498
00:24:49,444 --> 00:24:51,169
I mean, when she handed
over her allowance...
499
00:24:51,171 --> 00:24:53,304
- This mother's a real piece of work.
- Right?
500
00:24:53,306 --> 00:24:55,686
I mean, first she abandons
her daughter. Right?
501
00:24:55,711 --> 00:24:58,678
Then she lets her get tossed
from group home to group home.
502
00:24:58,703 --> 00:25:01,780
She's been abused, neglected,
and who knows what else.
503
00:25:01,782 --> 00:25:04,149
And then she doesn't even bother
to show up for the visit?
504
00:25:04,428 --> 00:25:06,818
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
505
00:25:06,843 --> 00:25:08,341
We're not letting her
go back over there.
506
00:25:08,755 --> 00:25:10,543
Well, hold on, now.
These are court-ordered visits.
507
00:25:10,545 --> 00:25:12,049
I don't give a damn about
a court order, Randall.
508
00:25:12,049 --> 00:25:14,391
I am done letting that woman
hurt that child.
509
00:25:15,141 --> 00:25:16,207
Okay, wait.
510
00:25:16,232 --> 00:25:17,939
I thought I was gonna be the one
bringing the heat here,
511
00:25:17,963 --> 00:25:19,635
and you were gonna calm me down,
so we switching places?
512
00:25:19,659 --> 00:25:20,657
Yeah, we switching, okay?
513
00:25:20,682 --> 00:25:22,688
Because it's our job
to protect that little girl,
514
00:25:22,713 --> 00:25:24,002
so we gonna do our job. So that means,
515
00:25:24,026 --> 00:25:25,814
as long as she's under this roof,
516
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:28,094
she's not gonna have anything
to do with that woman.
517
00:25:31,439 --> 00:25:33,167
- You could've moved in with Natalie.
- No.
518
00:25:33,192 --> 00:25:35,924
- In any event...
- Mm-mm.
519
00:25:36,687 --> 00:25:38,629
Nope. Not gonna do it.
520
00:25:40,345 --> 00:25:43,746
I am not having a conversation
about this with you, sir.
521
00:25:45,399 --> 00:25:46,462
It's not happening.
522
00:25:46,876 --> 00:25:49,760
It is weird enough
that you live on the mantel.
523
00:25:51,446 --> 00:25:53,733
Yeah, it would've been nice
to get your permission
524
00:25:53,735 --> 00:25:55,649
or-or get your blessing, the right way.
525
00:25:56,780 --> 00:25:59,102
FYI, I would have crushed
526
00:25:59,104 --> 00:26:00,904
proposing to your daughter, by the way.
527
00:26:00,906 --> 00:26:02,739
I'm the king of romantic gestures.
528
00:26:02,741 --> 00:26:04,737
I hear that we have that in common.
529
00:26:06,212 --> 00:26:08,911
That and our insane good looks.
530
00:26:10,963 --> 00:26:13,442
Okay, but here's...
See, here's the thing.
531
00:26:14,682 --> 00:26:17,477
Kate loves weddings.
532
00:26:17,867 --> 00:26:19,993
All right? She watches
Say Yes to the Dress
533
00:26:19,995 --> 00:26:22,128
with her special
Say Yes to the Dress notebook,
534
00:26:22,130 --> 00:26:23,596
like she's studying.
535
00:26:24,139 --> 00:26:26,018
Yeah, my BS meter is going off, too,
536
00:26:26,020 --> 00:26:27,753
with this whole courthouse thing.
537
00:26:27,842 --> 00:26:30,340
I do not think that this is
what she wants to do.
538
00:26:33,533 --> 00:26:38,472
Anyhow, Kate says that you are
great in the advice department.
539
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:43,200
So I could really use
some of that right now.
540
00:26:56,165 --> 00:26:58,949
Hi. How's my second favorite nurse
541
00:26:58,974 --> 00:27:00,488
at Manhattan General doing?
542
00:27:00,855 --> 00:27:02,831
Kevin Pearson, what are you doing here?
543
00:27:02,856 --> 00:27:04,067
What do you mean, what am I doing here?
544
00:27:04,091 --> 00:27:06,224
I'm here to, uh, you know,
I'm surprising Sophie.
545
00:27:06,933 --> 00:27:08,004
She around, or...?
546
00:27:08,029 --> 00:27:10,129
No, she just left
on the transport to Queens.
547
00:27:10,308 --> 00:27:11,691
- She'll be back soon.
- Yeah?
548
00:27:11,716 --> 00:27:13,115
- So you can hang out.
- All right.
549
00:27:13,226 --> 00:27:14,496
I'll hang out. Thank you.
550
00:27:49,153 --> 00:27:50,587
Didn't you hear him?
551
00:27:50,611 --> 00:27:52,523
What were you doing?
552
00:27:52,548 --> 00:27:54,390
Give him some fatherly advice, Kevin.
553
00:27:54,415 --> 00:27:55,437
I don't have any.
554
00:27:55,462 --> 00:27:57,070
- Hey, Dad, play with me.
- Later.
555
00:28:28,054 --> 00:28:29,363
I'm Randall Pearson.
556
00:28:30,864 --> 00:28:32,144
Thank you for seeing me.
557
00:28:32,809 --> 00:28:33,870
I'm...
558
00:28:34,624 --> 00:28:36,245
I'm Deja's foster father.
559
00:28:37,222 --> 00:28:38,315
I needed to explain...
560
00:28:38,315 --> 00:28:40,306
I didn't want her
to see my face like this.
561
00:28:47,631 --> 00:28:49,973
I wanted to explain to you
that what happened yesterday
562
00:28:49,998 --> 00:28:51,706
was very difficult for Deja.
563
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,048
She was disappointed.
564
00:28:54,660 --> 00:28:56,807
She was really looking forward
to seeing you.
565
00:28:57,332 --> 00:29:00,542
When you make a commitment to
a child, you got to stick to it.
566
00:29:00,567 --> 00:29:02,713
Well, next time I'll
reschedule getting jumped.
567
00:29:02,738 --> 00:29:03,991
Well, obviously,
I'm not familiar with...
568
00:29:03,993 --> 00:29:05,826
No, no, please, continue.
569
00:29:05,828 --> 00:29:08,178
You seem to know all about my situation.
570
00:29:10,324 --> 00:29:11,542
Deja's doing well.
571
00:29:13,169 --> 00:29:15,511
She gets along with
my wife and my daughters.
572
00:29:15,536 --> 00:29:16,691
They're close to her age.
573
00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:19,915
We're thinking of enrolling her
in Woodside Middle School.
574
00:29:20,649 --> 00:29:23,081
Last foster parents
let her stay at her old school.
575
00:29:23,083 --> 00:29:25,295
She's got friends there.
She's on drill team.
576
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,725
Woodside's an excellent school.
577
00:29:26,725 --> 00:29:28,934
I'm sure the cheerleading squad
there is pretty great.
578
00:29:30,395 --> 00:29:31,986
You got a white wife?
579
00:29:31,988 --> 00:29:32,997
Excuse me?
580
00:29:33,392 --> 00:29:35,918
Cheerleading is not drill team.
581
00:29:35,943 --> 00:29:37,208
I know the difference. Thank you.
582
00:29:37,210 --> 00:29:39,177
And don't get it twisted, sis,
I wake up every morning
583
00:29:39,179 --> 00:29:40,866
next to a head scarf and coconut oil.
584
00:29:40,866 --> 00:29:42,302
I'm married to a black queen,
585
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:44,067
not that it's any of your business.
586
00:29:44,692 --> 00:29:46,436
You know what? You made the choices
587
00:29:46,512 --> 00:29:50,117
that got you in here,
but your daughter is a child,
588
00:29:50,677 --> 00:29:51,942
and I don't think you know the half
589
00:29:51,944 --> 00:29:53,687
of what she's been through
because of you.
590
00:29:54,153 --> 00:29:55,946
So you don't need to be worried
about me or my wife.
591
00:29:55,948 --> 00:29:58,293
You need to be focused
on what's best for Deja.
592
00:29:58,318 --> 00:29:59,896
Oh, let me guess. That's you?
593
00:29:59,921 --> 00:30:01,896
I'm on this side of the glass, aren't I?
594
00:30:05,731 --> 00:30:07,872
You know, that's not
the first time I've heard that.
595
00:30:08,673 --> 00:30:10,505
"I'm on the other side of the glass."
596
00:30:11,031 --> 00:30:13,331
My ex Lonzo said that same exact thing
597
00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:15,152
sitting right there where
you are right now.
598
00:30:15,177 --> 00:30:18,383
- Is he...?
- No. He's not Deja's father.
599
00:30:20,098 --> 00:30:22,089
He took off when Deja was eight.
600
00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:26,425
Mm-mm, Lonzo is the fool
who got me in this mess.
601
00:30:27,105 --> 00:30:29,730
Met him in rehab
when I was trying to get right.
602
00:30:30,793 --> 00:30:31,933
Ain't that something?
603
00:30:32,244 --> 00:30:35,012
Trying to get right, and I get Lonzo.
604
00:30:37,851 --> 00:30:39,110
That's unfortunate.
605
00:30:41,508 --> 00:30:44,069
I wound up on this side
of the glass, yeah.
606
00:30:44,719 --> 00:30:46,317
And you wound up over there,
607
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,624
no doubt 'cause things broke your way.
608
00:30:51,672 --> 00:30:54,072
Don't you dare say
I'm in here by choice.
609
00:30:54,508 --> 00:30:57,143
People who have choices say that mess.
610
00:30:58,633 --> 00:31:00,832
Deja's the one good thing I've done.
611
00:31:01,993 --> 00:31:05,633
And I thank you for watching out
for her, but make no mistake,
612
00:31:06,166 --> 00:31:08,082
all right, you can give her your money,
613
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,298
and you can give her your cheerleading,
614
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:11,929
but I gave her my blood.
615
00:31:12,824 --> 00:31:16,005
And if you want to know
what's best for her, it's me.
616
00:31:17,024 --> 00:31:19,848
And the second I get out of
here, I'm coming back for her.
617
00:31:21,501 --> 00:31:23,167
You gonna have to go through me.
618
00:31:25,619 --> 00:31:27,213
I've been through worse.
619
00:31:38,447 --> 00:31:39,994
Oh, thank God. Okay.
620
00:31:42,361 --> 00:31:44,561
Babe, you okay?
621
00:31:44,586 --> 00:31:46,586
- Yeah.
- You look like you're gonna faint.
622
00:31:46,588 --> 00:31:49,385
Listen, I, uh, I called my mom
and I told her about the baby.
623
00:31:49,893 --> 00:31:51,324
Uh, she cried a little bit,
624
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:53,854
then she hung up
so she could call her priest.
625
00:31:53,995 --> 00:31:55,104
Okay.
626
00:31:55,690 --> 00:31:58,799
Yes. Okay, and now...
627
00:32:01,102 --> 00:32:02,755
They didn't have your, uh,
628
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:06,539
your version on iTunes,
so I-I had to use this one.
629
00:32:06,885 --> 00:32:08,276
- Tobe.
- Yeah.
630
00:32:09,049 --> 00:32:10,229
Uh...
631
00:32:19,711 --> 00:32:21,436
This was a, uh... hold on.
632
00:32:21,438 --> 00:32:23,338
This was a good idea about an hour ago.
633
00:32:37,078 --> 00:32:39,405
How many... how many hoodies is that?
634
00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:41,110
It is $200 worth.
635
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:43,043
The guy at the mall kiosk loves me.
636
00:32:43,123 --> 00:32:45,217
- And I...
- Bet he does.
637
00:32:46,482 --> 00:32:47,591
Oh.
638
00:32:47,677 --> 00:32:48,904
Can I borrow that? That?
639
00:32:48,929 --> 00:32:50,615
Oh! My... yeah.
640
00:32:50,692 --> 00:32:52,808
- I'm gonna need this.
- Okay.
641
00:32:54,417 --> 00:32:58,837
Our courtship has been unconventional,
642
00:32:58,981 --> 00:33:01,755
so if you want to get married
at city hall
643
00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:02,834
in front of a bunch of strangers,
644
00:33:02,858 --> 00:33:04,067
then that's what we'll do.
645
00:33:04,244 --> 00:33:06,450
But if there is any part of you
646
00:33:06,583 --> 00:33:07,895
that wants the big wedding,
647
00:33:08,012 --> 00:33:10,403
even though it can be scary
648
00:33:10,552 --> 00:33:13,356
and emotional and cliché...
649
00:33:15,911 --> 00:33:17,622
...I think you deserve that, kid.
650
00:33:17,723 --> 00:33:20,309
Okay?
651
00:33:20,997 --> 00:33:22,184
Okay.
652
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:25,416
You deserve to walk down the aisle
653
00:33:25,441 --> 00:33:28,885
between your two
stupidly handsome brothers
654
00:33:28,978 --> 00:33:31,612
and feel them love the crap out of you.
655
00:33:32,678 --> 00:33:35,298
You deserve to spend
an obscene amount of money
656
00:33:35,323 --> 00:33:38,816
- on the perfect white dress.
- Well, like, I could...
657
00:33:38,841 --> 00:33:40,245
Oh, I know.
658
00:33:40,550 --> 00:33:42,699
So, if any of that sounds good to you,
659
00:33:43,331 --> 00:33:45,120
then I think that
that's what we should do.
660
00:33:46,386 --> 00:33:49,050
And I know, listen, I know that everyone
661
00:33:49,052 --> 00:33:50,652
that you want to be there
can't be there.
662
00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:56,230
...that that's what he would want.
663
00:33:56,327 --> 00:33:58,611
In fact, I know it is
because I asked him.
664
00:33:59,363 --> 00:34:01,675
Wai... wha... you asked him?
665
00:34:01,816 --> 00:34:04,032
I did. I don't want to talk
about it. It's guy stuff.
666
00:34:04,034 --> 00:34:05,152
- Okay.
- Okay.
667
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:07,433
So, what do you say?
668
00:34:07,458 --> 00:34:11,637
Will you, please... marry me?
669
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,464
Can't believe... Yes!
670
00:34:13,692 --> 00:34:15,696
Yes, I will marry you.
671
00:34:37,941 --> 00:34:39,794
Dear Judge Bradley,
672
00:34:40,539 --> 00:34:43,129
I noticed you had some
photographs of families
673
00:34:43,154 --> 00:34:43,929
on your wall,
674
00:34:43,929 --> 00:34:46,344
so I thought I'd send you ours.
675
00:34:47,006 --> 00:34:51,673
Randall is my son,
whether you approve or not,
676
00:34:51,698 --> 00:34:53,731
whether you sign a paper or not.
677
00:34:54,438 --> 00:34:57,480
And, yes, some things
are harder for us.
678
00:34:58,071 --> 00:35:00,305
Family portraits,
for instance are...
679
00:35:00,619 --> 00:35:02,126
...not our strong suit.
680
00:35:02,853 --> 00:35:07,885
Exposure is tricky for
the Pearsons, so we make do.
681
00:35:08,313 --> 00:35:10,360
But the thing you need to know about us
682
00:35:10,385 --> 00:35:12,094
is that the Pearsons keep at it.
683
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:13,384
We don't stop.
684
00:35:13,690 --> 00:35:16,790
So, I suggest you put us up
on your wall.
685
00:35:17,319 --> 00:35:19,358
Maybe it will help you
get used to our faces
686
00:35:19,382 --> 00:35:23,170
because we will keep coming
until you do your job.
687
00:35:23,506 --> 00:35:28,583
Sincerely, Rebecca Pearson,
Randall's mother.
688
00:35:42,762 --> 00:35:44,631
Oh, my God.
Where the hell have you been?
689
00:35:44,631 --> 00:35:46,451
The hospital said you came by. I...
690
00:35:47,303 --> 00:35:48,576
Kevin, are you okay?
691
00:35:49,881 --> 00:35:52,576
- Are... Hey, c-come inside.
- Sophie, I don't know how to do this.
692
00:35:53,443 --> 00:35:54,802
How to do what? What's wrong?
693
00:35:55,334 --> 00:35:58,118
I didn't just buy one, Soph.
I bought three.
694
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:02,206
I bought three because
I couldn't decide which one.
695
00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:04,890
Kevin, what are you...
what are you talking about?
696
00:36:04,922 --> 00:36:08,077
I don't know how to be a husband to you.
697
00:36:09,024 --> 00:36:11,315
I don't know how to be a father
to our kids.
698
00:36:12,899 --> 00:36:15,862
I don't. I-I don't have
anything to give you.
699
00:36:15,934 --> 00:36:19,055
There's nothing inside of me
to give to you, okay?
700
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,070
I don't have anything.
701
00:36:20,070 --> 00:36:22,497
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm an empty shell.
702
00:36:25,139 --> 00:36:29,310
Kevin, you're... you're spiraling. Okay?
703
00:36:30,285 --> 00:36:31,768
What's going on? This isn't you.
704
00:36:31,793 --> 00:36:33,759
No, no, no, no. This is me, okay?
705
00:36:33,761 --> 00:36:34,848
This is me.
706
00:36:34,918 --> 00:36:36,239
The guy who comes to your doorstep
707
00:36:36,263 --> 00:36:37,650
and says those things to you?
708
00:36:37,675 --> 00:36:40,455
That-that-that is not me. That's not me.
709
00:36:40,551 --> 00:36:42,331
That-that-that's me
trying to be that guy,
710
00:36:42,331 --> 00:36:43,964
that guy who-who does that kind of thing
711
00:36:43,966 --> 00:36:45,915
or the guy who says
that kind of thing to you.
712
00:36:46,525 --> 00:36:48,909
That's me trying to be my dad, okay?
713
00:36:48,911 --> 00:36:50,126
Or-or-or-or Toby.
714
00:36:50,525 --> 00:36:53,462
Or-or every great man
from every really good movie,
715
00:36:53,487 --> 00:36:56,079
but it's not me, okay?
I was playing a part.
716
00:36:56,314 --> 00:36:58,650
You were disappointed that
I postponed my trip two times?
717
00:36:58,675 --> 00:37:00,065
Trust me when I tell you I'm saving you
718
00:37:00,089 --> 00:37:02,979
from 40 years of disappointment with me.
719
00:37:04,514 --> 00:37:06,673
Kevin, what are you saying
to me right now?
720
00:37:09,622 --> 00:37:12,714
I'm saying when I... when I
dream of our future together...
721
00:37:13,713 --> 00:37:15,221
Sophie, it's a nightmare.
722
00:37:16,253 --> 00:37:18,320
For me, okay? It's a nightmare.
723
00:37:19,900 --> 00:37:21,540
Listen, I'm not trying to hurt you.
724
00:37:22,392 --> 00:37:23,556
I don't want to hurt you.
725
00:37:24,299 --> 00:37:25,603
Soph.
726
00:37:43,743 --> 00:37:46,651
This has been the longest
three weeks of my life.
727
00:37:46,676 --> 00:37:48,026
Well, he's gonna see us today, babe.
728
00:37:48,050 --> 00:37:50,181
I can... I can feel it.
729
00:37:50,228 --> 00:37:51,579
We got through to him.
730
00:37:51,877 --> 00:37:53,461
Mr. and Mrs. Pearson?
731
00:37:53,486 --> 00:37:55,400
You've been moved to another judge.
732
00:37:56,196 --> 00:37:57,087
What?
733
00:37:57,134 --> 00:37:59,556
Judge Bradley recused himself
from your case.
734
00:37:59,673 --> 00:38:01,365
I'll show you where you'll be.
735
00:38:02,556 --> 00:38:03,666
Okay. Come on.
736
00:38:04,627 --> 00:38:07,738
Recused? Is that
a good or a bad thing?
737
00:38:09,961 --> 00:38:11,407
And who do we have here?
738
00:38:11,645 --> 00:38:15,407
Oh, we usually just call them
one, two and three.
739
00:38:16,063 --> 00:38:17,399
So well-behaved.
740
00:38:17,424 --> 00:38:19,204
Oh, give them time.
741
00:38:20,531 --> 00:38:21,680
Okay.
742
00:38:22,746 --> 00:38:24,785
If you don't mind
raising your right hand...
743
00:38:24,810 --> 00:38:27,105
Okay, one hand will do.
744
00:38:27,107 --> 00:38:29,238
- Shh, okay. Shh, shh, shh.
- Uh, to affirm that the testimony
745
00:38:29,262 --> 00:38:31,355
you are about to give is
the truth, the whole truth
746
00:38:31,380 --> 00:38:32,403
and nothing but the truth.
747
00:38:32,427 --> 00:38:33,437
- Yes.
- We do.
748
00:38:33,462 --> 00:38:35,121
Do you wish to adopt this child
749
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:36,989
as your legally adopted son?
750
00:38:37,133 --> 00:38:38,366
- We do.
- We do.
751
00:38:38,610 --> 00:38:40,756
And what name shall this child be known?
752
00:38:41,305 --> 00:38:43,874
Um, Randall Kenneth Pearson.
753
00:38:44,866 --> 00:38:46,374
You have done the hard work.
754
00:38:46,399 --> 00:38:47,936
You have chosen to love.
755
00:38:48,397 --> 00:38:52,897
I, on the other hand, have the
pleasure of signing it into law.
756
00:38:52,922 --> 00:38:54,553
Congratulations.
757
00:38:54,578 --> 00:38:57,077
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
758
00:39:00,608 --> 00:39:01,678
Thank you.
759
00:39:21,368 --> 00:39:23,878
Unfortunately,
the cancer is not responding
760
00:39:23,903 --> 00:39:24,872
to the treatment.
761
00:39:24,872 --> 00:39:26,604
There's not much else we can do.
762
00:39:26,997 --> 00:39:30,925
I suggest you try and enjoy
what time you have left.
763
00:40:09,067 --> 00:40:10,326
Hey, little mama.
764
00:40:10,351 --> 00:40:12,237
- Hi.
- Hi, Dad.
765
00:40:12,691 --> 00:40:14,057
What's going on?
766
00:40:14,904 --> 00:40:16,143
- So...
- Hmm?
767
00:40:16,228 --> 00:40:17,354
How was she?
768
00:40:18,431 --> 00:40:19,588
Oh, man.
769
00:40:20,021 --> 00:40:21,713
She was, uh...
770
00:40:22,945 --> 00:40:25,045
everything I thought she'd be
771
00:40:25,070 --> 00:40:27,151
and somehow nothing I expected.
772
00:40:29,377 --> 00:40:30,885
She wants Deja back.
773
00:40:33,596 --> 00:40:34,979
We're falling for this kid.
774
00:40:35,032 --> 00:40:36,143
I know.
775
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:38,791
Despite ourselves,
despite what everyone's told us,
776
00:40:38,816 --> 00:40:40,002
but we can't just...
777
00:40:43,725 --> 00:40:45,972
I think about William, Beth.
778
00:40:46,631 --> 00:40:48,245
William before we knew him.
779
00:40:48,633 --> 00:40:50,565
He was lost, alone,
780
00:40:51,415 --> 00:40:52,751
missing me...
781
00:40:54,369 --> 00:40:55,540
...needing me.
782
00:40:55,639 --> 00:40:56,727
Coming.
783
00:41:05,158 --> 00:41:06,992
Yeah, stop all that banging.
784
00:41:07,016 --> 00:41:09,470
I heard you the first time.
Who the hell is knocking...
785
00:41:09,495 --> 00:41:10,853
My name is Randall Pearson.
786
00:41:10,878 --> 00:41:12,227
I'm your biological son.
787
00:41:12,549 --> 00:41:14,225
36 years ago, you left me at the...
788
00:41:15,963 --> 00:41:17,438
Ready for night-night?
789
00:41:17,463 --> 00:41:18,852
I think of my parents...
790
00:41:20,157 --> 00:41:22,259
Oh, my sweet, sweet man.
791
00:41:22,284 --> 00:41:24,696
...fiercely protecting me,
792
00:41:24,839 --> 00:41:26,175
wondering for their whole life
793
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,542
if they did right by me.
794
00:41:31,893 --> 00:41:34,237
I think about all those people
making choices
795
00:41:34,262 --> 00:41:37,182
about my life before I could
make choices for myself.
796
00:41:38,142 --> 00:41:39,667
Do anything good lately?
797
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:43,628
I don't know.
798
00:41:45,304 --> 00:41:46,315
You?
799
00:41:46,618 --> 00:41:47,753
No idea.
800
00:41:53,761 --> 00:41:55,879
And now we're those people, Beth.
801
00:41:56,375 --> 00:41:58,509
We're the adults making
complicated choices
802
00:41:58,534 --> 00:42:00,404
about that little girl's life.
803
00:42:01,889 --> 00:42:04,651
Beth, I gave Shauna our number.
804
00:42:06,174 --> 00:42:08,353
I told her to call collect.
805
00:42:08,428 --> 00:42:09,983
She's calling Deja tonight.
806
00:42:10,008 --> 00:42:12,126
Hey, it's me.
807
00:42:12,857 --> 00:42:14,710
How you doing?
