00:00:00Come in, you guys.
00:00:02Oh, my goodness.
00:00:04Congratulations.
00:00:06Thank you.
00:00:08Look at this right here.
00:00:10T-shirt for you.
00:00:12That's awesome. Thank you, man.
00:00:14Thank you. I'm going to put it on now.
00:00:16Okay. Yes.
00:00:18This is going over his crib.
00:00:20Exactly.
00:00:22Oh, my gosh.
00:00:24Wow.
00:00:26Meet Ruben
00:00:28Mason Bradley
00:00:30Are you serious?
00:00:32He's so beautiful.
00:00:34Wow.
00:00:36Wow.
00:00:38Do you want to hold him?
00:00:40Yes.
00:00:42I'm sorry. I don't want to wake you up.
00:00:44I'm sorry.
00:00:46Okay.
00:00:48Aw.
00:00:52I don't want to take away from this moment,
00:00:54but guys,
00:00:56I got into Columbia.
00:00:58Ivy League?
00:01:00Congratulations.
00:01:02It was worth
00:01:04the braids.
00:01:06Thank you.
00:01:08Thank you.
00:01:10So, Columbia?
00:01:12Like in Manhattan, Columbia?
00:01:14I got a scholarship, and Dr. Owens is recommending me
00:01:16for a clerk position. It's happening.
00:01:18I was thinking maybe we should
00:01:20move the wedding up a little bit.
00:01:22That way we could go together.
00:01:24I could just see you in New York,
00:01:26writing your books with your fun scarves.
00:01:30Let's think about it.
00:01:32Of course.
00:01:42Brothers marrying
00:01:44best friends.
00:01:46Lives are turning out way better than we would have imagined, right?
00:01:48Yeah, they did.
00:01:50And?
00:01:52I'd like you to be
00:01:54Ruben's godfather.
00:01:56If you will.
00:01:58Yes.
00:02:04I would
00:02:06do anything for you, Dan.
00:02:08That way,
00:02:10whatever he needs, Dan and I,
00:02:12we'll both be there.
00:02:14I promise.
00:02:22I promise.
00:02:48It's only 7 a.m.
00:02:50What kind of an emergency do you think this is?
00:02:52Well, there was an unflattering article in the Journal
00:02:54this morning, and the team sent Stonehouse.
00:02:56It wasn't responding well.
00:02:58They want attorneys present. It's important.
00:03:00Thank you for the opportunity to help, sir.
00:03:02Stonehouse is a long-term client in France,
00:03:04so I'll take the lead, okay?
00:03:06Whatever it is, we'll sort it out.
00:03:08Get away!
00:03:10I said I'm going to go.
00:03:12Stay away from me!
00:03:14What's going on here?
00:03:16What happened?
00:03:18He jumped up at his house,
00:03:20spunk up on him, and he went out to get his newspaper.
00:03:22He jumps in the car, and they followed him here.
00:03:24Okay, stay.
00:03:26I'm Mason Bradley.
00:03:28I work with Mr. Donovan.
00:03:30Donnie, tell them that this article is wrong.
00:03:32Huh?
00:03:34There was no financial mismanagement
00:03:36or fraud.
00:03:38They don't have all the facts.
00:03:40We'll take care of it, Stoney.
00:03:42No problem. Just come down.
00:03:44Did you do it, Mr. Stonehouse?
00:03:46Hey, everyone, hi.
00:03:48Mason Bradley, Donovan and Dabrow.
00:03:50It's my understanding that you were all trespassing on my client's
00:03:52private property this morning, stalking him and causing him
00:03:54to rush into this very dangerous situation.
00:03:56Okay?
00:03:58And taking unauthorized video right here
00:04:00inside his business' private property.
00:04:02That's how you're going to be.
00:04:04Come on, guys. You heard the man.
00:04:06That article that was published was inaccurate.
00:04:08No.
00:04:10What I want to know is which one of you
00:04:12will be the one to break the true story.
00:04:14Hmm?
00:04:16Walk out right now, all right? Give me a call.
00:04:18I will schedule an interview, and the first one
00:04:20will get the exclusive.
00:04:22Or I can start filing some restraining orders.
00:04:26Let's go.
00:04:28One, two, one, two.
00:04:38Hey, Mr. Stonehouse.
00:04:40Sir, all the reporters are gone.
00:04:42I think it's in your best interest that we get you down.
00:04:44Okay, we can reverse any damage. This article is done.
00:04:46You can trust me.
00:04:48Okay. That's good to know.
00:04:50Now, can we get you down on the ground?
00:04:52I can't.
00:04:54I don't know how to make it go back down.
00:04:56There's a small little lever right in the back.
00:04:58And just press down.
00:05:00Oh, there it is. Yep. Okay.
00:05:02No, no, no, no, no. Okay, okay. Relax, relax.
00:05:04Okay.
00:05:06You got it.
00:05:08I'm going to meet you down there.
00:05:10I see him coming.
00:05:14You back off.
00:05:16Back away.
00:05:18I don't know you.
00:05:20Thank you.
00:05:22Be careful now.
00:05:24Don't tell Lenora.
00:05:26Please.
00:05:40I'm heading home.
00:05:42Thank you, Hazel.
00:05:44Don't need anything else.
00:05:46I didn't ask.
00:05:50The partners are all talking about
00:05:52the stunt you pulled today.
00:05:54Oh.
00:05:56I wouldn't call it a stunt.
00:05:58It really shook Donovan.
00:06:00I actually heard him say maybe it's time
00:06:02for him to retire.
00:06:04Ellen, it was a mess. It was out of control.
00:06:06Not for you.
00:06:08You said you had everyone in the room sign an NDA
00:06:10before you left the building.
00:06:12Obviously.
00:06:14Look, we need to do damage control.
00:06:16We're giving you the Stonehouse account.
00:06:20Are you serious?
00:06:22Donovan asked me if I thought you could handle it.
00:06:24Go and celebrate with your girl.
00:06:26You'll have a lot on your plate tomorrow.
00:06:34You come to me
00:06:36on the way
00:06:38to the night.
00:06:40Babe.
00:06:42It's you.
00:06:44You don't have any pets, do you?
00:06:46It's good to see you too, Mrs. Malick.
00:06:48No, I don't have any pets.
00:06:50Because I'm hearing a cat.
00:06:52Little meows coming from somewhere?
00:06:54I don't have a cat.
00:06:56You can come and look if you want.
00:06:58You shouldn't have a cat.
00:07:00There are rules.
00:07:02Yes, I know. Many, many rules.
00:07:04If you see a cat, you'll let me know?
00:07:06Absolutely.
00:07:08Thank you.
00:07:10We're gonna find it.
00:07:16Mrs. Malick,
00:07:18I still don't have a cat.
00:07:22Good. I'm allergic.
00:07:24Hi.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:28Have a seat. Sorry, she's been
00:07:30on one this week.
00:07:32Can't wait to hear what this special occasion's about.
00:07:34I cannot wait to tell you.
00:07:36Okay.
00:07:38So,
00:07:40tell me, how was your day?
00:07:42I feel like it's about to get better.
00:07:44Alright.
00:07:46Okay.
00:07:48I'm gonna get to it.
00:07:52Babe.
00:07:54Yes?
00:07:56You
00:07:58are looking at
00:08:00the future partner of Donovan and Davril Locke.
00:08:04They're promoting you.
00:08:06They will.
00:08:08But I got the Stonehouse account.
00:08:10He's been a client of Donovan for decades.
00:08:12I got it.
00:08:14Congratulations, darling.
00:08:16Thank you.
00:08:18I'm so sorry.
00:08:24Okay.
00:08:26So, this steak,
00:08:28it is from our favorite place in the city.
00:08:30I'll try.
00:08:32You got it.
00:08:36Dani Alvarez?
00:08:38Isn't she...
00:08:40She was, but she's
00:08:42still best friends with my sister-in-law, so...
00:08:46She's persistent.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:50She is.
00:08:52You know, maybe I should just...
00:08:54I'm sorry.
00:08:56I'll be right back, okay?
00:08:58Ciao.
00:09:12Hi.
00:09:14Hey, is everything okay?
00:09:16I needed to tell you that
00:09:18Billy and Tina, they were
00:09:20in an accident.
00:09:22An accident?
00:09:24Are they okay?
00:09:26They said I'm sorry they didn't make it.
00:09:28Why?
00:09:36Hold on, how are the kids?
00:09:38I was babysitting them when I got the call, but...
00:09:40The thing is,
00:09:42we need you here right away because
00:09:44CPS is coming in the morning.
00:09:46CPS? Hold on, hold on. What's going on?
00:09:48I'm not related and you're their guardian,
00:09:50so it has to be you.
00:09:52Okay, okay, I'm gonna...
00:09:54I'm gonna get on the first train.
00:09:56I'm gonna figure this out.
00:10:00Please tell the kids that I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:10:02Okay.
00:10:22Are the kids...
00:10:24My dad took them to the park.
00:10:26There's a lot of strangers inside.
00:10:30Let's go get rid of them, shall we?
00:10:32Yeah.
00:10:38Hi.
00:10:40I'm Mason Bradley.
00:10:42I believe you guys are waiting for me.
00:10:44Lydia Miller from County CPS.
00:10:46My condolences to you.
00:10:48Thank you.
00:10:50Thank you.
00:10:52I'm here to make sure there's a proper transfer of legal guardianship...
00:10:54As I said, the parents have this covered.
00:10:56Just give us a moment.
00:10:58Mr. Bradley, my name's Clayton Booth.
00:11:00I'm your brother's attorney. I just can't tell you how sorry I am.
00:11:02Thank you.
00:11:04You have their will under act as I assume?
00:11:06Let's get this out.
00:11:14I'll clear this off for you.
00:11:16Thank you.
00:11:20Thank you.
00:11:26It's all in order.
00:11:38Sorry.
00:11:42I'm just a bit surprised.
00:11:44Did they not tell you their wishes?
00:11:46No, no, no.
00:11:48They told me when the kids were born.
00:11:50It's just...
00:11:52It's not something you think is actually going to happen.
00:12:02I haven't been around for the last few years.
00:12:06My circumstances changed.
00:12:10To be honest, I...
00:12:12I didn't think that they still wanted me.
00:12:14Do you not want the children, Mr. Bradley?
00:12:20Look, my life is just...
00:12:22It's not really set up for kids right now.
00:12:24They did give you the power to appoint somebody else
00:12:26if you are unable or unwilling to take them.
00:12:28No, no, no.
00:12:30It's not that I'm unwilling.
00:12:34I told Lily I would do it.
00:12:36I'm going to keep my promise.
00:12:38I'm going to keep my promise.
00:12:42Is Uncle Mason here?
00:12:46Hey, AJ. Hi.
00:12:50Hi.
00:12:52Oh, my goodness.
00:12:54You're so big.
00:12:56Ruben, look at you.
00:12:58You're so tall.
00:13:00Hey.
00:13:02Hey, Mason.
00:13:04Welcome back, buddy.
00:13:06Hey.
00:13:10How are you?
00:13:12Are you going to live with us now?
00:13:14You know, my job's in New York.
00:13:16I kind of got a new job now.
00:13:18But I was thinking
00:13:20what if you guys came over there to live with me?
00:13:22Thank you.
00:13:24Ruben!
00:13:26New York City!
00:13:28I hate New York.
00:13:30Have you ever even been to New York?
00:13:32That's the place in the movies
00:13:34where all of the superheroes protect the city.
00:13:36That's right.
00:13:38Yeah, because that's where all the supervillains attack.
00:13:40They come out of the sewers and stuff.
00:13:42Okay, look, for the record,
00:13:44I've never seen anything come out of the sewer.
00:13:46The point is, if there were supervillains,
00:13:48I will be right there to protect you.
00:13:50Okay?
00:13:52Look, guys, we're a family.
00:13:54And it's probably really confusing right now.
00:13:56I'm going to take care of you.
00:14:00Got it?
00:14:04Give me a hug. Come on.
00:14:20Hey.
00:14:22Hey.
00:14:24I just got the kids down.
00:14:26Poor little agent went to sleep with every single one of our stuffed animals.
00:14:28Thank you.
00:14:30Hey, no, no, no. I got it.
00:14:32Thank you.
00:14:34All right.
00:14:38I really hate to be asking this,
00:14:40but, um,
00:14:42any chance you're available to watch them?
00:14:44Just for, like, a day so I can get back to the city
00:14:46and take care of a few things.
00:14:48Are you serious? Why?
00:14:50This client, he's had a bit of an episode,
00:14:52and we're just keeping an eye on him.
00:14:54Plus, I got a lot to get done before the kids get there.
00:14:56What about the house?
00:14:58I mean, getting the kids ready to go be with you.
00:15:00Right.
00:15:02How about this?
00:15:04When I come back, we can pack up all the essentials
00:15:06and I'll just hire movers
00:15:08to help us get everything into storage for now.
00:15:10By the way, the rent is paid for this month,
00:15:12but not for the next month,
00:15:14so we got to get everything out pretty quick.
00:15:16No, no, no. I'll do it.
00:15:18I don't want some random strangers
00:15:20packing up my friends' things.
00:15:22I know it's meaningful,
00:15:24so I'll just box it up,
00:15:26and I'll donate the rest to charity.
00:15:28That's what you want.
00:15:30Mason, just...
00:15:32hear me out.
00:15:34What if
00:15:36the kids came to live with me?
00:15:38I know that's not what's in the will,
00:15:40but I saw that you could appoint someone.
00:15:42I mean, think about it.
00:15:44I've been babysitting these kids every single week
00:15:46since they were born. They know me.
00:15:48I was their Sunday school teacher.
00:15:50I love them
00:15:52like they were my own.
00:15:54I love them, too.
00:15:56Think about it.
00:15:58This would not disrupt their routine.
00:16:00They could still go to their school
00:16:02and have their friends in their church.
00:16:08Gillian, Tina asked me.
00:16:10I...
00:16:12I know that.
00:16:16That was ten years ago
00:16:18when they thought that...
00:16:20I'm just saying...
00:16:22you have very long hours,
00:16:24and you already have so much to think about.
00:16:26Do you even know what district you're in?
00:16:28I guess I'll just
00:16:30look up private schools.
00:16:32What about a church?
00:16:34These kids have to know that God is going to be there for them.
00:16:36They have to know that they can trust Him.
00:16:38I don't even know if
00:16:40I know what that means.
00:16:46I don't know.
00:16:48What does that mean?
00:16:50I'm not going to tell these kids that
00:16:52God's going to make everything okay.
00:16:54They're hurting.
00:16:56This is hard, and I'm not going to pretend that it isn't.
00:16:58I'm also not going to pretend that this is part of just
00:17:00some big, greater plan.
00:17:02I think it's just best
00:17:04that we tell them the truth
00:17:06so that we don't set them up for disappointment.
00:17:10Will you just go home
00:17:12and consider my suggestion?
00:17:14I really think that
00:17:16these kids are better off being raised here,
00:17:18and I would be honored
00:17:20to be the one to do that.
00:17:38Ellen's in your office.
00:17:47We give you the firm's
00:17:49highest stakes client, and you come in late?
00:17:51And you were gone yesterday?
00:17:53I'm sorry.
00:17:55Look, I...
00:17:57Did y'all get your homework?
00:17:59My brother and his wife
00:18:01died in an accident.
00:18:03Oh, Mason.
00:18:05That's horrible.
00:18:07Do you need some time?
00:18:09Donovan can pick up
00:18:11at Stonehouse.
00:18:13No, no. I've got it.
00:18:16Actually, I am the executive
00:18:18to their estate, so I'm going to have to
00:18:20head back and manage a few things
00:18:22for the services, if that's okay.
00:18:24That sounds
00:18:26very unhealthy.
00:18:28Yeah, well,
00:18:30if it makes you feel any better,
00:18:32I've cried.
00:18:34If I work hard enough, I'll be able to afford
00:18:36inexpensive therapies.
00:18:38I think you're joking.
00:18:40But seriously,
00:18:42you don't want to
00:18:44drop the ball with Stonehouse.
00:18:46The ball's picked up.
00:19:06Hey, Tish, it's me.
00:19:08Look, uh,
00:19:10I don't like to mix business
00:19:12and personal stuff, but
00:19:14I need your help.
00:19:18I didn't want to say anything, but now that you've asked,
00:19:20I am so glad you're making this decision.
00:19:22And as
00:19:24fabulous as this place is,
00:19:26it's time for you to have some space.
00:19:28I agree.
00:19:30You know, I'm kind of thinking, like, three bedrooms.
00:19:32Three?
00:19:34So the promotion's official.
00:19:36Not yet.
00:19:38But, uh, look,
00:19:40who's getting into space?
00:19:44Look, I...
00:19:48I may be having some family members
00:19:50moving in.
00:19:52Mm-hmm.
00:19:54May need some help.
00:19:58Your brother left you his kids.
00:20:00Yeah, I did.
00:20:02Reuben and little
00:20:04Amanda Jane, AJ.
00:20:06They're, uh,
00:20:08seven and ten.
00:20:10No, eight.
00:20:12You know what? I don't know.
00:20:14I'm gonna figure that one out.
00:20:16So you're gonna be a father.
00:20:18No, not a father.
00:20:20It's more like an uncle
00:20:22with custody.
00:20:24Sounds mean.
00:20:26Have you really thought this through?
00:20:28What this is gonna do to all aspects of your life?
00:20:32Yeah.
00:20:34A lot.
00:20:36Just no other relatives?
00:20:38No.
00:20:40Tina's parents are elderly, and her brother's serving overseas, so...
00:20:44Just me.
00:20:48They asked me to be the guardian.
00:20:50Okay, I made a promise to my brother,
00:20:52and I'm gonna keep it.
00:20:54So can you please help me find someplace?
00:20:58Three
00:21:00bedrooms.
00:21:02In a good school district.
00:21:04In Manhattan.
00:21:06Here we go.
00:21:10Do you
00:21:12think they'll like me?
00:21:14Why?
00:21:16Why wouldn't they?
00:21:18Okay.
00:21:20These are your options.
00:21:34Mason!
00:21:36Hey.
00:21:38Is Danny looking for me?
00:21:40Oh, the kids were.
00:21:42Sorry, I just, uh...
00:21:44I didn't clear my head.
00:21:46Work call?
00:21:48Yeah, and that, too.
00:21:52I'm sorry, I just...
00:21:54I'm having a hard time in there.
00:21:56I'm sorry.
00:21:58I'm sorry.
00:22:00I'm sorry.
00:22:02I'm having a hard time in there.
00:22:04Well, you're a man who usually knows what to do or say,
00:22:06so this makes you uncomfortable.
00:22:10Yeah, it does.
00:22:12No.
00:22:14We're never really in control of our lives
00:22:16the way we think we are.
00:22:18But God's always there.
00:22:20We just have to ask ourselves,
00:22:22are we okay
00:22:24with things not being okay?
00:22:26Can we trust him?
00:22:29He loves them more than any of us do.
00:22:31Okay.
00:22:37I'll take care of all of you.
00:22:49Hey, guys.
00:22:51Are you still gonna babysit us in Creddys?
00:22:53You know what? It's kind of far,
00:22:55but I was thinking if it's okay
00:22:57with your Uncle Mason,
00:22:59I could video call you guys,
00:23:01and we could play some games.
00:23:03Is that good?
00:23:07You know, just because I'm far away
00:23:09doesn't mean I don't love you guys, right?
00:23:14Hey, guys, I wish you'd get going
00:23:16so we can beat traffic.
00:23:18Hey, come here. Come here.
00:23:20Come on.
00:23:22Hey.
00:23:24Have a sip, sir.
00:23:26Okay.
00:23:28Okay.
00:23:30Are you all seated?
00:23:32Here we go. Here we go.
00:23:42You're gonna be just fine, sweetheart.
00:23:44I just feel like
00:23:46other than you,
00:23:48everybody that I have loved
00:23:50has either died or moved to Manhattan.
00:23:52Maybe you need to ask yourself
00:23:54if you're in the right city.
00:23:56No, no.
00:23:58We have been down that road before,
00:24:00and it's not for me.
00:24:02Did he say that?
00:24:04Or did you?
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:24Reuben,
00:24:26please don't do that.
00:24:28Close it.
00:24:32This doesn't look like a lawyer's car.
00:24:34This is a rental car.
00:24:36Why don't you bring yours?
00:24:38Because I don't
00:24:40have a car.
00:24:42You're supposed to be this rich lawyer,
00:24:44and you don't have a car.
00:24:46I'm not sure where you're getting this
00:24:48rich lawyer thing from.
00:24:50Dad said that you were an important lawyer,
00:24:52and big, fancy people
00:24:54need you all the time.
00:24:56That's true.
00:24:58That's why you don't visit us that much anymore.
00:25:00Look, nobody needs a car in the city.
00:25:02We have trains that can take us anywhere we want to go.
00:25:04My company has cars, so
00:25:06I don't need one.
00:25:08What's your house like? Is it a rich house?
00:25:10In New York City, people live in apartments,
00:25:12which you guys are actually going to have to help me find a new one
00:25:14because we can't stay in mine anymore.
00:25:18Why?
00:25:22Oh, welcome.
00:25:24There are no bedrooms?
00:25:26I thought a rich lawyer was supposed to have bedrooms.
00:25:28Oh, you clearly don't
00:25:30understand the cost of real estate here.
00:25:32Where are we supposed to sleep?
00:25:34Um,
00:25:36I was thinking maybe you two could share my bed,
00:25:38and I'll just sleep on the couch
00:25:40for now.
00:25:44Or you can sleep on the floor.
00:25:48Well,
00:25:50we should get you guys settled in because I've got to get back to the office.
00:25:52We get to see your office?
00:25:56So, I was thinking
00:25:58I was thinking maybe
00:26:00you two could, uh,
00:26:02I don't know, stay here for a little bit?
00:26:04Ourselves?
00:26:18Hazel, hi.
00:26:20These are the two that I was telling you about.
00:26:22Would you mind taking them for some ice cream for a bit?
00:26:24I am not a babysitter.
00:26:26They're perfect because they are not babies.
00:26:28Oh, please, look,
00:26:30Stonehouse will be here any minute.
00:26:32Just take them to get a snack, drop them off at my office,
00:26:34put something to do on, and
00:26:36I'll owe you.
00:26:38And then, I'll email you some info on baby services.
00:26:40Perfect.
00:26:42They won't be any trouble.
00:26:46Why aren't you in school?
00:26:50It's summer.
00:26:56All righty.
00:27:00Stonehouse is here.
00:27:02Who's kids?
00:27:04Those are my brothers.
00:27:06When you said you were executor of the estate...
00:27:08I am also their guardian.
00:27:10I'm trying to imagine you with kids.
00:27:12This is going to change everything, Mason.
00:27:14Why?
00:27:16Ellen, look, lots of people have kids, right?
00:27:18You have kids?
00:27:20They're 30. They have kids.
00:27:22Okay, and what did you do when they were 10?
00:27:24I struggled.
00:27:26And I didn't make partner
00:27:28until after they were off to college.
00:27:30They're great kids.
00:27:32Okay, and
00:27:34it's going to be fine.
00:27:36I got this.
00:27:38Okay.
00:27:40How's everyone feeling?
00:27:42We're doing fine.
00:27:44Is your core emergency communications department present?
00:27:46They're all here.
00:27:48And all present.
00:27:50And everyone is on the same floor.
00:27:52We've had phone calls non-stop
00:27:54since the journal article.
00:27:56We can't keep putting them off forever.
00:27:58Let's get started, shall we?
00:28:06All right.
00:28:08Here you go.
00:28:10Don't get ice cream on anything.
00:28:12What are we supposed to do now?
00:28:14Don't you have
00:28:16phones to play on or something?
00:28:18My mom says that we're too young for phones.
00:28:20Well, you're too young to be here, too.
00:28:22So I guess you'll have to
00:28:24figure something out.
00:28:26Just don't make any noise.
00:28:28Do not let anyone know you're here.
00:28:30Got it?
00:28:50Ruben!
00:28:52I'm due here.
00:28:56Okay, so while we're working through this issue,
00:28:58we want to establish a strategy that you'll be able to use
00:29:00the next time.
00:29:02There isn't going to be a next time.
00:29:08I think we started there.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:12Let's turn to page five in our briefs.
00:29:14Ah, we're so good!
00:29:16Thank you for saving me!
00:29:18I'm here to betray you!
00:29:46Ah!
00:29:48Ah!
00:29:50Ah!
00:29:52Ah!
00:29:54Ah!
00:29:56Ah!
00:29:58Ah!
00:30:00Ah!
00:30:02What in the world is that?
00:30:04Mr. Bradley,
00:30:06you are needed immediately.
00:30:08Please excuse me.
00:30:10Please excuse me.
00:30:16Please tell me what's happening.
00:30:18It was an accident, I promise you.
00:30:20I didn't know they were there.
00:30:22Why would you bring children here
00:30:24on the day of your most important meeting
00:30:26at this firm?
00:30:32We're sorry, Uncle Mason.
00:30:36Aren't we, Ruben?
00:30:40I'm hungry.
00:30:48Go! Go! Go!
00:30:56Are we hiding from someone?
00:30:58A supervillain?
00:31:00No, it's just my landlady, Miss Malick.
00:31:02She's quite the stickler for the rule.
00:31:04Good evening, Mr. Bradley.
00:31:06Mrs. Malick, hi.
00:31:08Who are these children you have with you?
00:31:12This is my niece.
00:31:14This is my nephew.
00:31:16You've got to say hi.
00:31:18I've never seen them before.
00:31:20That's because they've never been here before.
00:31:22Are they registered visitors?
00:31:24Not yet. We actually just got in,
00:31:26so I haven't been able to do the paperwork,
00:31:28but I will.
00:31:30Your nephew, he has a black eye.
00:31:32His girlfriend kicked me in the face.
00:31:34But it was an accident.
00:31:36Tell her it was an accident.
00:31:38It was an accident.
00:31:40Where are your parents?
00:31:42Heaven.
00:31:46How about you guys just go wait by the elevator, okay?
00:31:48Take your sister.
00:31:54Thank you for bringing that up.
00:32:00That's a cute one.
00:32:02I like this color.
00:32:04There we go.
00:32:06Put them all here.
00:32:08Ready for bed.
00:32:10Where's this one go?
00:32:12Where's Snuffy?
00:32:14What am I supposed to do?
00:32:16He's not here. Snuffy's lost.
00:32:18I'll be left at home.
00:32:20I'm going to call Aunt Danny and she'll figure it out, okay?
00:32:22Can you call her now?
00:32:24You know what? I'm going to give her a call once you guys are in bed.
00:32:26I'll be fine.
00:32:28Move it.
00:32:30Under the covers. Let's go.
00:32:32Hey, stop, stop.
00:32:34No fighting. And watch out for his eye, please.
00:32:40What do you guys do for bedtime?
00:32:42Do we read a book or something?
00:32:44Sing a song.
00:32:46Sing a song?
00:32:50I don't know.
00:32:52I'm going to work up to the singing.
00:32:54And then you just
00:32:56say a prayer.
00:33:02How about you do it for me?
00:33:08Dear God,
00:33:10thank you for this day.
00:33:12Thank you
00:33:14for the nice fireman who fixed
00:33:16Ruben's nose.
00:33:18Please help it heal so he doesn't
00:33:20look so weird for the rest of his life.
00:33:22And
00:33:24God,
00:33:26please say hi
00:33:28to Mommy and Daddy
00:33:30and tell
00:33:32them we miss
00:33:34them. Tell
00:33:36them we're okay.
00:33:38And Uncle
00:33:40Mason is trying hard
00:33:42even though sometimes
00:33:44he messes up.
00:33:46Bless
00:33:48Aunt Dani, Pastor Alvarez
00:33:50and Sanathi.
00:33:52Amen.
00:33:54Amen.
00:33:56Amen.
00:33:58Amen.
00:34:02Good night.
00:34:04Do we get hugs?
00:34:10Yeah.
00:34:12Yeah.
00:34:14Yeah.
00:34:26I love you, Uncle Mason.
00:34:32I love you too.
00:34:34Go to sleep.
00:34:44Hey.
00:34:46Is everything okay?
00:34:48Everything is great.
00:34:50AJ, I think you left
00:34:52something at the house.
00:34:54Like a bear?
00:34:56Yes. I actually
00:34:58found it when I pulled the sheet back.
00:35:00It was behind the bed.
00:35:02Yes, yes, yes.
00:35:04That is the one.
00:35:06Any news?
00:35:08No.
00:35:10No.
00:35:12That is the one.
00:35:14Is there any way you could get that to us?
00:35:16It would avoid a lot of tears.
00:35:18Okay. Well,
00:35:20I mean, I could
00:35:22get it out to you tomorrow.
00:35:24That's perfect. Amazing.
00:35:26You know anything about
00:35:28kids' health insurance?
00:35:30Why? I thought you said
00:35:32everything was fine.
00:35:34No, no. Everything is great.
00:35:36I'm doing some paperwork and
00:35:38it came up.
00:35:40I haven't gone to Billy's office yet, but
00:35:42I will get on that.
00:35:44Thank you.
00:35:46Be well.
00:35:48Sure.
00:35:50Okay, bye.
00:36:02Yeah, I'm going to be
00:36:04working from home today, so can you please get up on the phone for me?
00:36:06Are you Mr. Bradley?
00:36:08I'm Rebecca.
00:36:10I'm going to get a call back.
00:36:12Okay. Hi.
00:36:14Yes. I'm Mr. Bradley. Nice to meet you.
00:36:16Those are my two kids over there swinging.
00:36:18Oh.
00:36:20I'm really better with babies.
00:36:22I rock them, feed them.
00:36:24When they get opinions, they just
00:36:26get a new job.
00:36:28Is that so?
00:36:30I see here
00:36:32that you are bilingual?
00:36:34Yes.
00:36:36Oh, that's really cool.
00:36:38What other language do you speak?
00:36:40Yes.
00:36:42Oh.
00:36:46You'll want them in a good college,
00:36:48and that doesn't happen without pushing them ahead
00:36:50as soon as possible.
00:36:52Yeah.
00:36:54I'm sure they're already behind.
00:37:00Okay, so I'm seeing
00:37:02here on your profile that you have
00:37:04zero experience?
00:37:06Yeah. I'm in special effects
00:37:08makeup school at night. I thought nannying would be a good
00:37:10day job. I did babysit my kid brothers my
00:37:12whole life. Well, we live in this neighborhood,
00:37:14but we're planning on moving. Is that going to be a problem?
00:37:16Oh, whatever, it's cool.
00:37:18Whatever. Okay.
00:37:22Hi, officer.
00:37:24You have a problem? I do. That's a gnarly
00:37:26brace. Can I take a picture of it for my class?
00:37:28Sir, are you the
00:37:30uncle of these children?
00:37:32Yes. Can I see somebody?
00:37:34It's their problem.
00:37:36I have a straight knee. Do you want a picture
00:37:38of that? Totally.
00:37:42How did your nephew
00:37:44get this bruise? He hid under
00:37:46a desk and scared the person
00:37:48inside of me. And that
00:37:50person was your girlfriend?
00:37:52Yeah. This young lady right here?
00:37:54No, no, no. We just met.
00:37:56Have you been meeting a series of ladies in the park today?
00:37:58I've been interviewing nannies all day
00:38:00and I'm about to hire this one, so congratulations.
00:38:02What can you say? Sweet? No.
00:38:04Okay, great. Meet your new nanny.
00:38:08I'm going to be paying you a visit
00:38:10in a few days just to make sure everybody's settling in.
00:38:12Officer, I'm an attorney and I have everything.
00:38:14You're an attorney. Perfect. And you know that
00:38:16CPS is obligated
00:38:18to follow up on any reports of abuse.
00:38:20Abuse?
00:38:22Mm-hmm.
00:38:26Thank you.
00:38:28Stonehouse,
00:38:30you took a message?
00:38:32That was one of seven calls
00:38:34you declined from me this morning.
00:38:36These are all of his board members. I gotta go.
00:38:38Thank you. Mr. Donovan, sir.
00:38:40Oh, sir, you are here.
00:38:42I'm about to head over to Stonehouse on my own.
00:38:44Has there been a teller offer?
00:38:46Well, Walter's had some boys. I've wanted to buy him out
00:38:48for years. Someone leaked the scissors
00:38:50left in his pocket.
00:38:52I don't know who it was.
00:38:54Let's do some damage control.
00:38:56Let's go.
00:39:10Hello?
00:39:12Reuben?
00:39:14AJ?
00:39:16Who are you?
00:39:18I am so sorry.
00:39:20I think I'm in the wrong apartment.
00:39:22Hey, Danny!
00:39:24Hi!
00:39:26Whoa!
00:39:28What happened to your face?
00:39:30It's makeup.
00:39:32It's makeup?
00:39:36We were just having fun.
00:39:38Are you here to relieve me?
00:39:40Because I am super late for my class.
00:39:42Oh, yeah.
00:39:44I'm sorry. Do you know where Mason is?
00:39:46I don't know.
00:39:48I don't know.
00:39:58What's this?
00:40:00I had a nice chat with her niece and nephew
00:40:02when they were sliding down the
00:40:04banister in the stairwell today.
00:40:06You know the terms of the lease,
00:40:08Mr. Bradley.
00:40:10They can't live here. Maximum occupancy
00:40:12is two.
00:40:15Hi.
00:40:17Let me first.
00:40:19No, no, no, Mrs. Malick.
00:40:21We're going to need some more...
00:40:25...time.
00:40:29Is your nephew in there?
00:40:31Hi!
00:40:33What happened here?
00:40:37We ordered dinner
00:40:39because you were so late.
00:40:41Also, Danny just said it was really weird.
00:40:44It was definitely better than getting arrested
00:40:46at the park.
00:40:48What? It's a long story.
00:40:50When did you get here?
00:40:52Not that long ago. I've been trying to help you clean.
00:40:54But I did bring something
00:40:56very important.
00:40:58Snuffy!
00:41:00Yes, here's Snuffy.
00:41:02Are you going to be our new babysitter now?
00:41:04Oh, you know what? I was just bringing by
00:41:06some of your boxes and the things that I knew
00:41:08that you were going to want.
00:41:10Hey, look, I promise it's not always like this.
00:41:12It's okay.
00:41:14I don't think I can keep this man here.
00:41:16Yeah, no, probably not.
00:41:18But she does paint some very realistic verses.
00:41:20Oh, no, this is real.
00:41:22His girlfriend kicked me in the face.
00:41:24Okay, no, not exactly like that.
00:41:26I mean, she did.
00:41:28The group injured, worm juice on her,
00:41:30and then the fireman came, and then we thought
00:41:32that you were the police coming back to get us.
00:41:36Let's go to dinner.
00:41:39Okay, so,
00:41:41despite how things may look,
00:41:43I think it's been going pretty well.
00:41:45Right, guys?
00:41:47No, I have no doubt that you have that covered.
00:41:49I am a little sad, though,
00:41:51because I have a very long drive home,
00:41:53so after dinner, I have to leave.
00:41:55Don't go already.
00:41:57I mean, it is late.
00:41:59You can just stay here.
00:42:01Stay, stay, stay!
00:42:03There is not enough room here.
00:42:05Oh, come on. You can sleep on the couch.
00:42:07Then we'll get you a pillow and a blanket.
00:42:09That'll be great.
00:42:11I'm going to be up half the night anyways.
00:42:13Don't you have a big client?
00:42:15Oh, another firm launched a hostile takeover today.
00:42:17I've got to go over all of these rentals
00:42:19because we need to find a new place
00:42:21by the 31st.
00:42:23Why?
00:42:25That rental lady does not like us.
00:42:27I think that she's just a stifler for the rules.
00:42:29Apparently, the max occupancy here
00:42:31is only two.
00:42:33Two is max occupancy?
00:42:37No, no, no.
00:42:39It means that only two people
00:42:41can live in each apartment.
00:42:45But now there's four of us.
00:42:47It's great, isn't it?
00:42:49So, Mom said that
00:42:51you guys used to be in love.
00:42:53Oh.
00:42:55Yeah, that was, um...
00:42:57That was a long, long time ago.
00:43:01Did you fall out of love?
00:43:03Uh...
00:43:07I think that's a
00:43:09story for a different day, right?
00:43:11Why don't you kids go
00:43:13get Danny's bed ready? Get a pillow and a blanket?
00:43:15Yeah? Come on.
00:43:21Hey, kids.
00:43:33Hey.
00:43:47Mommy?
00:43:51Mommy!
00:43:55It's okay. Come here. Come here.
00:43:57It's okay, buddy. It's Uncle Mason.
00:43:59Take a deep breath.
00:44:01Good. Good, good, good.
00:44:03Do you want to try singing to her?
00:44:05Tina's mom
00:44:07used to sing, Have Thine Own Way.
00:44:09It was a lot of fun with the kids
00:44:11at night.
00:44:13Do you want to sing to you?
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:17Okay.
00:44:19Have thine own way, Lord.
00:44:21Have thine own way.
00:44:25Thou art the potter.
00:44:27Thou art the potter.
00:44:31I am the clay.
00:44:35Mold me and make me
00:44:37for thine own will.
00:44:41I am your lady.
00:44:45You did it still.
00:44:57You did it still.
00:45:23Where is he?
00:45:25He went to go to work on a Saturday.
00:45:27Hey. Hey.
00:45:29What's going on? Uncle Mason.
00:45:31He's not here.
00:45:33No. I'm sure Uncle Mason is...
00:45:35What about Uncle Mason, huh?
00:45:37What's up, bud?
00:45:39I'm just getting some donuts.
00:45:41Donuts! Oh, yeah. Donuts. Come on down.
00:45:43Okay.
00:45:47I got some deliciousness right here.
00:45:49Blueberry.
00:45:51And let's see.
00:45:53You got yours, right? Let's see.
00:45:55You did. Thank you.
00:45:57Good memory.
00:45:59What are you doing?
00:46:01It's hot.
00:46:03Who wants to see what El Santi Danny has
00:46:05in that big bag from your house?
00:46:07All right. I still have a bunch of boxes in the car,
00:46:09but these are some of your favorites.
00:46:11Oh, look at those.
00:46:13That's yours, I'm guessing.
00:46:15Oh, look at the dinosaur. Ruben, is that yours?
00:46:17Yeah.
00:46:19This one was my favorite.
00:46:21We're gonna find a really special place for this, okay?
00:46:25Hey, guess what?
00:46:27I brought you this.
00:46:29I thought that maybe you...
00:46:31You'd probably want it.
00:46:33It's not mine.
00:46:35No, I know that's not yours, but I thought...
00:46:37Ruben!
00:46:47I'll handle this one.
00:46:49I'll handle this one.
00:47:05But...
00:47:07You know, right there, I'm just trying to be thankful, right?
00:47:09She's not my real aunt.
00:47:15I'm never going to be him.
00:47:17Put this on.
00:47:19Put it on. Come here.
00:47:21I got an idea.
00:47:23All right.
00:47:25Now, you're gonna be your dad,
00:47:27and I'm gonna be you, okay?
00:47:31Hey, it's not me.
00:47:33You're supposed to be your dad.
00:47:35Come on.
00:47:37This is so dumb.
00:47:39Oh, is that what he would say?
00:47:41He'd say...
00:47:43What's wrong, champ?
00:47:45What's wrong, champ?
00:47:49Champ?
00:47:51Is that what he would call you?
00:47:53You're supposed to be me.
00:47:55You got me. Okay, yes. You're right, you're right, you're right.
00:47:57Here we go.
00:47:59I hate it here, Dad.
00:48:01Uncle Mason's so mean.
00:48:03He works way too much.
00:48:05We have to move already.
00:48:11I really miss you.
00:48:13It's been really hard
00:48:15since you've been gone.
00:48:17Also, Uncle Mason
00:48:19has no idea what he's doing.
00:48:23Things are hard
00:48:25sometimes, but
00:48:27we always push through it.
00:48:31He always said that.
00:48:35And...
00:48:37I miss you, too.
00:48:39And I'm watching
00:48:41all the time.
00:48:45But if I make it back home, then
00:48:47I'm not going to miss it.
00:49:09Okay.
00:49:23Uncle Mason's just trying to do his best.
00:49:27He's not going to leave you.
00:49:29Okay?
00:49:35I love you, champ.
00:49:39I love you, too.
00:49:55Look at you.
00:49:57Ready and waiting.
00:49:59Who's ready to find a new home today?
00:50:01I forgot to tell you.
00:50:03We have one more
00:50:05joining us.
00:50:07This one.
00:50:11What I'm wondering is why she had to come along.
00:50:13Isn't it supposed to be mom time to bond with the kids?
00:50:15Why?
00:50:17Don't be stopping that, okay?
00:50:19So what's the deal with this real estate agent?
00:50:21She seems very invested.
00:50:23She's Uncle Mason's girlfriend.
00:50:25She's a very fast worker.
00:50:29Okay, here we are.
00:50:31Apartment one, two bedrooms, one bath.
00:50:33Wait, only two?
00:50:35Lots of light. Fifth floor walk-up.
00:50:37Oh, so sorry. Fifth floor walk-up.
00:50:39No.
00:50:41Okay.
00:50:43Apartment two.
00:50:47I like this.
00:50:49Right?
00:50:51It is $18,000 a month.
00:51:01It's school district two.
00:51:05There you go.
00:51:07I like it.
00:51:11How quickly can you fill out that application?
00:51:13Okay.
00:51:27Look,
00:51:29I know my writing was not legible,
00:51:31but I was writing faster than I could think.
00:51:33The book you're looking for is just impossible
00:51:35to find in this market.
00:51:37It's not impossible.
00:51:39God has a place for you guys.
00:51:41Isn't there any place that has a yard?
00:51:43We were supposed to throw a baseball.
00:51:47Well,
00:51:49I'm going to head back to the office, but we need to set up business for tomorrow.
00:51:51Thank you. I'm sorry.
00:51:53Bye.
00:51:57You're not going to tell me I told you so?
00:51:59About what?
00:52:01About New York, safety, the cost of living,
00:52:03you know, all the things that you had objections to.
00:52:05Right.
00:52:07I was thinking about the yard that Reuben wanted.
00:52:09Maybe what? Better luck in Queens.
00:52:11Doesn't New York have the biggest yard you could ever ask for?
00:52:13A zoo, castles, baseball fields.
00:52:19Indeed it does.
00:52:31Wow.
00:52:41Guys, stay together!
00:52:45Hey, real talk,
00:52:47can you not tell the kids that God is here
00:52:49and bring them the support of their dreams?
00:52:51I'm trying my best.
00:52:53You can still ask him.
00:52:57I think I'll figure it out on my own.
00:52:59I know you probably won't, but
00:53:01if you keep trying to do everything in your own strength,
00:53:03you're not going to leave him room to do something else.
00:53:07Just think about it.
00:53:13Hey, can we get ice cream now?
00:53:19All right, go get the door.
00:53:21Hold on, hold on. How about me?
00:53:23Reuben!
00:53:25Hey, hey.
00:53:27One foot on me.
00:53:29Okay, what?
00:53:31Is there a gummy on my face?
00:53:33I'm going to get you.
00:53:35Guys!
00:53:41Is this the way to the dog station you liked?
00:53:43Yeah, straight up to the left, past the arch.
00:53:45Let's go!
00:53:47You guys think? Well, it's not too far ahead of us.
00:53:51We'll give you a great mom day.
00:53:53Seriously.
00:53:55Thank you.
00:53:59Look, I'm sorry about things
00:54:01between us.
00:54:03We never really get to talk about it.
00:54:05It's just been weird.
00:54:07We were kids.
00:54:09What do we know about love?
00:54:11I think kids know a lot about love.
00:54:13Especially these two.
00:54:15They are so good at it.
00:54:17Better than I ever was.
00:54:19I don't know. I think we get all of you better at it.
00:54:25We should probably go get the kids.
00:54:27Yeah, absolutely.
00:54:29Let's go find her.
00:54:35Look how tough this guy is.
00:54:37Look, it's Snuffy's teeth.
00:54:39No, stop it.
00:54:41It's Snuffy.
00:54:43Look, Snuffy has all of his teeth.
00:54:47I'll be right back.
00:54:51Okay.
00:54:53What's going on, bud?
00:54:55Did you not like the park today?
00:54:57I thought we had fun.
00:54:59I'm sorry.
00:55:01What are you sorry for?
00:55:03I was having fun.
00:55:05I forgot.
00:55:09What did you forget?
00:55:11That we're supposed to be sad.
00:55:13We're not supposed to have fun.
00:55:17We weren't supposed to be here.
00:55:19We're supposed to be home.
00:55:23With them.
00:55:25Are they mad at us?
00:55:27No, no, no.
00:55:31They're not mad at you.
00:55:33They love you guys so much.
00:55:35You know what they really want?
00:55:39They want you guys to be happy.
00:55:45Do you miss them too?
00:55:47A lot.
00:55:49I miss them when I'm confused.
00:55:51And I really just want my best friend to tell me what to do.
00:55:55And do you miss them, Uncle Mason?
00:55:57I miss them all the time.
00:56:03And you know something?
00:56:05When I look at you,
00:56:07I see your mom's eyes.
00:56:11And you,
00:56:13when I look at you,
00:56:15I see your dad's smile.
00:56:17I see your dad's smile.
00:56:21There it is.
00:56:25Should we go?
00:56:27Let's go.
00:56:31Oh, let's get warm.
00:56:47I need us
00:56:49to be safe
00:56:51now
00:56:53now
00:56:55my best
00:56:57on my day
00:56:59or my night
00:57:01waking
00:57:03or sleeping
00:57:05at the present
00:57:07my life
00:57:11It's over.
00:57:13Leave out my wisdom
00:57:15and how I do
00:57:17or
00:57:19I am
00:57:25They have vacation Bible school.
00:57:27Can we sign up?
00:57:29You want to go to church for an entire week?
00:57:31It's fun.
00:57:33Think of it this way. They will be cared for from 9 to 3
00:57:35for an entire week.
00:57:39Okay.
00:57:41I think it's a great idea.
00:57:43Go, go, go.
00:57:47Thanks. Of course.
00:57:51Big client, big client.
00:57:53Well, Mason Bradley.
00:57:55Hi. I didn't know you were a family man.
00:57:57This is my friend,
00:57:59Danny Alvarez. Hi, I'm Danny.
00:58:01Hi, Danny. Nice to meet you. My pleasure.
00:58:03This is our first time visiting this church.
00:58:05Is this your home church?
00:58:07Well, I own a couple of properties nearby
00:58:09and it's always charmed me.
00:58:11Sometimes I go in.
00:58:13Some days you figure
00:58:15anything can help, huh?
00:58:17Aunt Danny!
00:58:19Oh, I'm coming. I'm going to help the kids.
00:58:21It was so nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
00:58:23Hi.
00:58:25So, Mr. Stonehouse, how are you feeling?
00:58:27You mean, why am I here praying, don't you?
00:58:29Does that make me look weak to you?
00:58:31That's not what I was implying.
00:58:33Everyone at the boardroom knows it's true.
00:58:35Frankly, it's quite thrilling
00:58:37not to have to fake it anymore.
00:58:39Not to have to say,
00:58:41I've got this all the time.
00:58:43You know, being a self-made man
00:58:45is a heavy burden.
00:58:51Your friend, huh?
00:58:53Aunt Danny, she's...
00:58:55She's great.
00:58:57She's the kid's mom's best friend.
00:58:59Mm-hmm.
00:59:01And a big help.
00:59:03I'm sure she is.
00:59:05It was nice seeing you here today, Mr. Bradley.
00:59:07I've already trusted your advice.
00:59:09But now I see just a little better
00:59:11who you are.
00:59:13Take care.
00:59:15You too, sir.
00:59:17Are you ready?
00:59:19Do we have to look at any more houses today?
00:59:21Oh, you know what?
00:59:23It's your lucky day.
00:59:25Tish needs me to go meet with a client of hers.
00:59:27Apparently it has an in with school admissions,
00:59:29so we've got a couple hours.
00:59:31What do you guys want to do?
00:59:33See more of the park. We didn't see the castle last time.
00:59:35Castle. The castle?
00:59:37Oh.
00:59:39Uh, that is...
00:59:41Let's go.
00:59:53Yep. Right here.
00:59:57You know what?
00:59:59I'll just squeeze out in here.
01:00:01Yep. No worries.
01:00:03This kind of reminds me of that little spot
01:00:05you used to study at. Morningside.
01:00:07Oh, yeah.
01:00:09You know, I think they turned that place into a yoga studio.
01:00:11Really?
01:00:13Yeah.
01:00:15What?
01:00:17Why do you keep staring at me like that?
01:00:19It's weird that you guys
01:00:21used to be in love.
01:00:23I think it's gross.
01:00:25Gross?
01:00:27Did you have an engagement ring?
01:00:29Yeah, you bet I bought her one.
01:00:31Hell yeah.
01:00:33Did you give it back?
01:00:35Mm-hmm.
01:00:41Maybe they don't want to talk about it.
01:00:45Uncle Mason,
01:00:47you didn't sell it,
01:00:49did you?
01:00:51Listen, going to law school
01:00:53was very, very expensive.
01:00:55So we can't really blame him if he did, right?
01:00:57Hey, Jake.
01:00:59Miss.
01:01:01We're going to be late.
01:01:03Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.
01:01:05You have to change this suit.
01:01:11Westbound
01:01:13is the best school in New York.
01:01:15The kids will be on track for Ivy League if they get in.
01:01:17And Cartwright's on the board,
01:01:19so you can provide recommendations.
01:01:21Okay. Do you want some water?
01:01:23Yeah. Oh, and I'm taking him
01:01:25to see houses in the Hamptons this week,
01:01:27and while we were planning, he mentioned
01:01:29he's frustrated with his attorney.
01:01:31So,
01:01:33play your cards right.
01:01:35This one? Or this one?
01:01:37Gray one.
01:01:39Oh.
01:01:41Or forget. Danny,
01:01:43I have no idea what's in the fridge,
01:01:45so for dinner tonight with the kids...
01:01:47It's okay. I'll figure it out.
01:01:49Besides, today was a rainy day, so...
01:01:51Do you guys know what that means?
01:01:53Games!
01:01:55Okay. Go set it up.
01:01:57I'll go change.
01:02:01You are a gem to take them for us.
01:02:03I mean, of course.
01:02:05So,
01:02:07do you think they're really going to be happy at Westbound?
01:02:09They'd be lucky to be there.
01:02:11I don't know. It seems really expensive.
01:02:13The school and then the apartment.
01:02:15I don't know. Is that something Mason can only afford right now?
01:02:17By himself, it's a stretch, but
01:02:19he and I together can manage comfortably
01:02:21when the time comes.
01:02:23Sorry, I just didn't realize
01:02:25that you guys were that serious.
01:02:27Oh, it's nothing official, of course.
01:02:29No, of course.
01:02:31Do you object?
01:02:33No.
01:02:35Actually, I think
01:02:37you are exactly
01:02:39the girl that he needs for a life out here in the city.
01:02:41You know, with galas
01:02:43and big houses and big clients.
01:02:47It just, it wasn't something that I could really
01:02:49offer him.
01:02:57Is this good?
01:02:59I think you look nice.
01:03:01Let me fix your tie.
01:03:03All right.
01:03:07Good luck.
01:03:13All right, cutie pies. Now it's time to go to sleep.
01:03:15Get cozy. Love you.
01:03:20It's too bad
01:03:22about you and Uncle Mason.
01:03:24If that didn't happen,
01:03:26we'd have both of you.
01:03:28Well, the good news
01:03:30is you guys have the both of us always,
01:03:32even if it's not in that way.
01:03:34You don't want to live here
01:03:36because it's too far from your dad's house.
01:03:38Well, yeah, that's part of it, but
01:03:40also I just
01:03:42don't really feel like I fit in with the people here.
01:03:44Who wouldn't like you?
01:03:46That's because you're so sweet.
01:03:48Do you think we're going to fit in
01:03:50at that fancy school?
01:03:52I think you're going to be great.
01:03:54Now you guys got to go to sleep, okay?
01:03:56I love you. And I love you.
01:03:58Good night.
01:04:19How'd it go?
01:04:21That's interesting.
01:04:23Uh-oh.
01:04:25Sorry.
01:04:29Are you writing?
01:04:31I am.
01:04:33I have an article due next week.
01:04:35How's the writing been going for you?
01:04:37You know, it's been going really well.
01:04:39I sold
01:04:41three articles last month
01:04:43and I have an agent
01:04:45who's looking at my book proposal.
01:04:47A real agent?
01:04:49That ain't good.
01:04:51I mean, she's really nice.
01:04:53I haven't met her in person yet, but
01:04:55she's here in the city.
01:04:57Right. So when are you guys meeting up?
01:04:59You know, I, um...
01:05:01I think I have to go home.
01:05:03I have so much
01:05:05that I need to pack up with Billy
01:05:07and Tina's house, and
01:05:09I have the kids store at VBS, so
01:05:11they're going to be fully covered here.
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:17Hey.
01:05:19What if I pay for Billy's house next month
01:05:21so you can stay?
01:05:23I really feel like
01:05:25you guys need to get into your routine here.
01:05:27I need to go back to where I belong.
01:05:29No, but you belong here
01:05:31with the kids.
01:05:35With the kids?
01:05:37I think this city agrees
01:05:39with you way more than you think.
01:05:41And you've got this agent thing now.
01:05:43Mason, you do not have to say that.
01:05:45I don't say things I don't mean.
01:05:47You know that?
01:05:51And I like this city
01:05:53way more with you here.
01:05:57And I wonder
01:05:59sometimes
01:06:01if we made a mistake.
01:06:07I think
01:06:09I need to go home.
01:06:11That way I don't confuse things.
01:06:15Okay.
01:06:31Guys, we had fun that day, huh?
01:06:39Okay, guys.
01:06:41Guess what?
01:06:43You guys are going to have so much fun this week.
01:06:45When are you coming back?
01:06:49Well,
01:06:51probably when you guys move.
01:06:53I'll bring up some more stuff from the house and I can come help you.
01:06:55Okay?
01:06:57Sounds fun, right?
01:06:59I love you.
01:07:01I love you so much.
01:07:03And I love you too.
01:07:09See you back.
01:07:13We love you too.
01:07:31Hey.
01:07:33Come on.
01:07:37Can we smile? A little bit?
01:07:43Okay.
01:07:53Annie!
01:07:55Still working?
01:07:57Annie.
01:08:09Annie, honey.
01:08:13Honey, you've been begging since 7am.
01:08:15How about some dinner?
01:08:17Dad.
01:08:19What have I done?
01:08:27So, guys.
01:08:29How was BBS?
01:08:31Good. Fun.
01:08:33Can we go to the park tomorrow?
01:08:35Tomorrow?
01:08:37I got a lot of work.
01:08:45But I'll try my best.
01:08:53Hello?
01:08:55Hello?
01:08:59What?
01:09:01What hospital is he in?
01:09:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:09:05I can be there.
01:09:07I got to make a few arrangements, but yeah.
01:09:09Okay.
01:09:11I'll see you in the office.
01:09:15Is somebody hurt?
01:09:17Yes.
01:09:19My work client.
01:09:21Mr. Stonehouse. Remember him?
01:09:23The guy from church?
01:09:25What happened to him?
01:09:27Oh.
01:09:29He fell and hurt his hip.
01:09:31So the hospital is going to put him back together.
01:09:33Are you going back to work?
01:09:35Oh, I got a call.
01:09:37She has her makeup school.
01:09:39Right.
01:09:41Okay, Tish.
01:09:43Tish should be free.
01:09:49Tish, it's me.
01:09:51I got a work emergency, and I really need your help.
01:09:53So I was wondering...
01:09:55I just remembered that you're in the Hamptons, so...
01:09:57Okay, never mind.
01:09:59Why did you make Aunt Danny go home?
01:10:01I didn't make her go home.
01:10:03It's not your fault you can't do your job good.
01:10:05Isn't it?
01:10:07No, I can do my job just fine.
01:10:09You can go, Uncle Mason.
01:10:11What?
01:10:13How long will you be gone for?
01:10:15A couple hours, at least.
01:10:17Yeah, we'll be fine.
01:10:19We'll be fine, buddy.
01:10:21And we'll just watch movies the whole time, right?
01:10:23Mm-hmm.
01:10:25If somebody's hurt and they're in the hospital
01:10:27and they need help,
01:10:29you should go help them.
01:10:31Right, okay, well...
01:10:33I guess Hilah could just come over after a thing.
01:10:37Okay?
01:10:39Mm-hmm.
01:10:45Hello?
01:10:47Hi! I miss you guys!
01:10:49We thought you could babysit us on screen.
01:10:51Wait, babysit you?
01:10:53Where's your uncle?
01:10:55He had an emergency, so he gave us his iPad
01:10:57so we can text him, but Nicole can't stay.
01:10:59Is everything okay?
01:11:01Yeah, it's just that the man from church,
01:11:03he fell, and now he's in the hospital.
01:11:05Oh, no!
01:11:07Well, did you guys say a prayer for him?
01:11:09Mm-hmm. I drew a picture for him.
01:11:11I think it's beautiful.
01:11:13Really good job, baby girl.
01:11:17No, no, no, no.
01:11:19No, don't answer that.
01:11:21Should we look through the hole?
01:11:23He said we wouldn't answer it.
01:11:25Okay, then don't answer it.
01:11:27I'm just gonna see who we're not answering.
01:11:29Ruben? Guys?
01:11:31Ruben! Ruben!
01:11:33Listen to me, please.
01:11:35You're not answering, okay?
01:11:37Ruben!
01:11:39It's the dragon lady.
01:11:41Don't answer it.
01:11:43Nobody's supposed to know that Uncle Mason's not here.
01:11:47What are you kids doing?
01:11:49Where's your uncle?
01:11:51He hasn't responded to my notice.
01:11:55Come on, hurry!
01:11:57Hurry, come on!
01:12:01Guys, what is happening?
01:12:03Ruben? PJ?
01:12:07Ruben?
01:12:09PJ?
01:12:11Shh!
01:12:13Don't get us in trouble.
01:12:17Ruben?
01:12:19Ruben?
01:12:25Obviously we are concerned with who's making the decisions from here.
01:12:27Sure.
01:12:29Of course.
01:12:31Let's get started. First things first.
01:12:37Sorry.
01:12:39Let's take a look at the draft of our official statement.
01:12:41Do we have an update from the family on the surgery?
01:12:43He doesn't have any family.
01:12:47So, who's with him in the hospital?
01:12:53Nobody.
01:12:57I could go.
01:13:02Somebody should be there with him, right?
01:13:04Yes.
01:13:06Who's making medical decisions on his behalf?
01:13:13Well...
01:13:15I'm so sorry. I have an emergency of my own.
01:13:18We will talk about this.
01:13:20Excuse me.
01:13:26Now we have this little idea.
01:13:28Oh!
01:13:31Isla?
01:13:32I came as fast as I could. I didn't even take my makeup off.
01:13:34Yeah, I can see.
01:13:36What's going on?
01:13:37I don't know. They won't let me in.
01:13:44Mr. Bradley.
01:13:48Glad you could make it.
01:13:53Where have you been tonight?
01:13:54At work. What's going on?
01:13:56Well, your landlord here has reported the neglect of these children.
01:14:00Neglect?
01:14:01I had an emergency. The nanny was on her way.
01:14:05Do you leave the children home alone often?
01:14:08I don't.
01:14:09Are they registered in school?
01:14:10Well, at summer time...
01:14:11Can you provide proof that you're the legal guardian of these kids?
01:14:13Absolutely.
01:14:14Whoa!
01:14:15Do you have any prescription medication?
01:14:17No, no, no, no, just, just, just...
01:14:19Stop!
01:14:22Why would you report the kids as neglected?
01:14:24They were clearly alone.
01:14:26I mean, I haven't seen you for, what, three days?
01:14:28Because I've been avoiding you.
01:14:30And why is that, Mr. Bradley?
01:14:35You met the lady?
01:14:39Because I don't have a place for us to move yet.
01:14:41Are you saying you're about to be homeless with these kids?
01:14:43Yes.
01:14:44Unless this woman gives me a little bit of grace.
01:14:47Do you know how hard it is to find a place in this city on short notice?
01:14:51Miss Malik, could you please step outside?
01:14:54I'll have an officer take your statement.
01:14:56I think we have enough people in these kids' space.
01:14:59Isla, you can go, too.
01:15:02I'll call you. How about this week?
01:15:04I don't know, man. This is all a little too weird for me.
01:15:12I'm doing my best. Honestly, whatever I can.
01:15:15Look, being a dad is tough stuff.
01:15:18And you're new at it. I get it.
01:15:20But maybe, you know, probably put aside,
01:15:24you may want to reconsider whether you are the best guardian for these kids.
01:15:33Have a good evening.
01:15:41Good evening.
01:16:11Good evening.
01:16:34Hey.
01:16:37Hi.
01:16:38What's going on?
01:16:40Have a seat, Ms. Alvarez.
01:16:43Okay.
01:16:50Look, I'm sure you probably have a lot of questions about what happened the other night.
01:16:56Yeah, I heard about Mr. Stonehouse. Is everything okay?
01:16:59No, no. He's fine. It's...
01:17:03It's not that.
01:17:05All the stories between Mrs. Malick coming home and finding the kids alone
01:17:10and then Isla showing up the way that she did, it's just...
01:17:14There were a lot of questions.
01:17:18If I'm even capable of being the kids' guardian.
01:17:22Mason, you are more than capable of being their guardian.
01:17:27Mr. Booth, he is more than capable.
01:17:31I was trying to think maybe you were right.
01:17:34About them being better off here at home with you as their guardian.
01:17:42Mason, I really do think that I was wrong.
01:17:46No, no.
01:17:49You know how to comfort them. You know how to play with them.
01:17:52And you do things naturally, the things that they would need to be done.
01:17:55Right, so you have to figure it out.
01:17:58Because that's what I had to do. I figured it out.
01:18:01Look, if you are still willing...
01:18:08Are you still willing, Ms. Alvarez?
01:18:12Yes. Yes, of course I'm willing.
01:18:18Is this really what you think is right for them?
01:18:25Yes.
01:18:27Yeah, I'll just talk to you for a second.
01:18:29Hold on.
01:18:30Please, I'm sorry.
01:18:33I just...
01:18:40I just keep failing.
01:18:43Mason, you don't have to do this.
01:18:48In your own strength.
01:18:50What does that mean?
01:18:53What does that mean?
01:18:57If you just go to God, He will help you.
01:19:01There's only one reason why this is right.
01:19:06In your faith, you have faith in Him for both of them.
01:19:17We're sorry, Uncle Mason!
01:19:20No, no, no, no, hey!
01:19:22You don't have to be sorry.
01:19:25Look, I should have known from the beginning.
01:19:28But now, now you're going to get to be here.
01:19:31With your friends, in your school.
01:19:35I mean, you like that, right?
01:19:36What happened to we always push through?
01:19:41We're pushing through.
01:19:42This is us pushing through, okay? You are so loved.
01:19:50I love you.
01:20:20Make my heart feel whole again.
01:20:24Scars will heal, time understands.
01:20:28Time understands.
01:20:34Is that yummy?
01:20:37Why didn't he want us?
01:20:40AJ, that's not it at all.
01:20:43Seems like it.
01:20:45Okay, here's the thing.
01:20:47I know it's going to sound kind of weird.
01:20:49But when you love somebody,
01:20:51sometimes the best thing that you can do for them is let them go.
01:20:54That way they can go be exactly who they're supposed to be.
01:20:57And then everybody's happy.
01:20:59But that's what you did.
01:21:00You loved Uncle Mason, so you let him go.
01:21:03Live his big, fancy life.
01:21:05And was everybody happy?
01:21:10You are right.
01:21:12That is a decision that I did make.
01:21:16But your Uncle Mason is doing really great.
01:21:18And he is happy.
01:21:24When you are there, he is.
01:21:31Mom and Dad said that if you make all the decisions in your own brain,
01:21:35then you're leaving no room for God to do something that's better than you could ever imagine.
01:21:42I do remember your parents saying that.
01:21:45And that is true.
01:21:48But what I'm trying to explain to you guys is that
01:21:54it wasn't easy for Mason to make that decision.
01:22:00It might be hard right now,
01:22:03but we're going to figure it out.
01:22:06Okay?
01:22:18Okay.
01:22:28Welcome.
01:22:29Let's all stand and sing together from hymn 325,
01:22:33Have Thine Own Way, Lord.
01:22:49I am the clay.
01:22:54Mold me and make me
01:22:58After Thy will.
01:23:03While I am bleeding,
01:23:07Yielded and still.
01:23:15How are you feeling, Mr. Stonehouse?
01:23:18Come on in.
01:23:22Oh.
01:23:24I see you would cooperate with that Walker.
01:23:28They let me out of here.
01:23:30Oh.
01:23:31I don't want to forget this.
01:23:33My niece made you a little something.
01:23:35Oh, that was very nice of her.
01:23:37Tell her to thank you for me.
01:23:38Oh, well.
01:23:40Let's see.
01:23:41Sit down.
01:23:43Oh.
01:23:46Oh, isn't that something?
01:23:48Oh, sweet.
01:23:49Yeah, she's getting good.
01:23:50Yeah.
01:23:51They're doing well?
01:23:53Yeah.
01:23:55They still going to that church?
01:23:57Yeah, they're good.
01:23:58I was there this morning.
01:23:59Oh, good.
01:24:06Mason, what's on your mind?
01:24:09Who's Lenora?
01:24:12That day that you were up on the scissor lift,
01:24:14You kept saying, don't doubt Lenora.
01:24:16What's that?
01:24:19Okay, Mason.
01:24:22In my business life,
01:24:24I've always lived by a set of rules.
01:24:27Sure.
01:24:28Never let a big deal get away.
01:24:32But in my personal life,
01:24:37I did not live by those rules.
01:24:40And I gave up on something that was worth fighting for.
01:24:45Lenora.
01:24:48And I tell you,
01:24:50I would trade in everything you're trying to say for me right now
01:24:54if she were here right now,
01:24:57sitting in that chair where you are.
01:25:00I understand.
01:25:02Son,
01:25:04I really hope you never have to.
01:25:09You know, I...
01:25:14I'm afraid it might be too late.
01:25:17Your friend.
01:25:19Danny, was it?
01:25:23I gave her a full custody of the kids.
01:25:26Oh.
01:25:28I'm sorry.
01:25:29They moved back upstate.
01:25:33It was the best decision of the moment.
01:25:35Son,
01:25:37a lot of challenges here.
01:25:38You know, work, upper housing,
01:25:42school district,
01:25:44nannies.
01:25:46Is that all?
01:25:49It seemed like a lot at the time.
01:25:51I'm sorry.
01:25:53I just don't know where to start.
01:25:56Start with housing.
01:25:58You want to be in District 2.
01:26:00Yes, yes.
01:26:02But District 2 is impossible.
01:26:04Well, see, now that's where you don't know everything, hotshot.
01:26:08Don't you remember? I told you.
01:26:10I have investment properties in that neighborhood.
01:26:15You have any interest in a brownstone in the village?
01:26:20Are you serious?
01:26:21New kitchen, tiny backyard.
01:26:25You see, the tenants are, well, they're trying to break their lease.
01:26:28My property manager is playing hardball with them.
01:26:32We could solve two problems at once.
01:26:37Rent is what it is, though.
01:26:38Okay.
01:26:39Okay, no special discounts.
01:26:41I mean, I have to make the most out of my investments
01:26:43if I'm going to sell my company and retire.
01:26:46Mr. Santos, we have the tender offer under control,
01:26:48and I promise you, I will personally...
01:26:50Mason!
01:26:52I am eliminating all stress from my life.
01:26:56Not disorders.
01:26:58Buzzards over at Hudson can have all my headaches.
01:27:01And I get a pretty payout in my pocket.
01:27:05You're going to lose a big client.
01:27:07I am sorry about that.
01:27:10But...
01:27:13Is a big client really the thing you want most?
01:27:28This isn't a bad apartment.
01:27:30Really.
01:27:31Location is excellent.
01:27:33Beautiful views.
01:27:36Mason.
01:27:40You want to hear something crazy?
01:27:42Stonehouse, he offered me a brownstone today.
01:27:47In the village.
01:27:49Yeah.
01:27:51That's District 2, right?
01:27:53Mm-hmm.
01:27:54Yeah.
01:27:55I just wonder if I moved on too soon.
01:27:59Instead of seeing how God could have worked it out.
01:28:05I don't want to regret this for the rest of my life.
01:28:08Not being there for...
01:28:10For the lost tooth.
01:28:13First heartbreak.
01:28:18And the first home run.
01:28:21Are you sure?
01:28:22And the first home run.
01:28:24Are you sure it's just the kids you're talking about?
01:28:30Dani wasn't afraid of living in New York City, Mason.
01:28:34She was afraid she wasn't New York enough for Mr. Manhattan.
01:28:40You don't need a woman like me.
01:28:43You need someone who keeps you true to yourself.
01:28:48Including your faith, if that's something you lost along the way.
01:28:53Tish, what...
01:28:56What are you saying?
01:28:59I'm saying...
01:29:02You shouldn't let your heart ache.
01:29:19And I snagged that village brownstone.
01:29:23And I snagged that village brownstone.
01:29:43This doesn't even make any sense to me. Does it make sense to you?
01:29:47I need to hear back from some other people on the team.
01:29:50I'm gonna need some time off.
01:29:53Why?
01:29:55I'm gonna have a family.
01:29:57If they'll have me.
01:29:59Look, I know it's gonna be a way slower track for me here at the firm, but...
01:30:02I promise you, I'm committed to the Stonehouse account.
01:30:04Yeah, well, what's this about him selling to Hudson?
01:30:06After all we did to push back on the tender offer.
01:30:09And you know, once he recovers, he'll regret it.
01:30:12He already has regrets.
01:30:14Mason, since you're my direct report here at the firm...
01:30:17I wholly support the time off.
01:30:20You've got plenty of years ahead of you to make partner.
01:30:23But it's surprising how little time we get with the kids.
01:30:26Go get him.
01:30:28Thank you, Ellen.
01:30:31Sir.
01:30:48Hi.
01:30:50Hi.
01:30:52What are you doing here?
01:30:54You know, I've had a really miserable week.
01:30:57Are you okay? Is the Stonehouse looking after you?
01:31:00No, no, he's actually great.
01:31:02He gave me a house.
01:31:04He gave you a house?
01:31:06With a yard.
01:31:08Look, I miss you.
01:31:10And the kids.
01:31:13Mason, these kids, they need stability.
01:31:17And I think it's great that you're here.
01:31:19But you can't just move them back and forth when it's convenient for you.
01:31:22I don't want convenient.
01:31:24I want you.
01:31:31I never stopped loving you.
01:31:35I knew it!
01:31:38I thought that you stopped loving me, so I just tried to get on with my life.
01:31:42Me too.
01:31:47Amanda Jane, I love you so much.
01:31:51And Reuben.
01:31:53I love you, bud.
01:31:59I love you, baby.
01:32:03I'd really like for all of us to have a chance at being a family.
01:32:15How about you guys take these balloons?
01:32:18Don't pop them, okay?
01:32:20Okay.
01:32:22Mason, what about Tish?
01:32:24You guys were practically engaged tonight.
01:32:26Tish, she would never have an ice cream time with me.
01:32:29Or shut my phone off when I need it.
01:32:31Or lead me back to the things that once grounded me.
01:32:37I want a New York life.
01:32:40That's the truth.
01:32:42What I really want
01:32:44is a life with all of you in it.
01:32:48If you'll have me.
01:32:52Kiss her!
01:32:53Kiss her!
01:33:16Are we cool?
01:33:18Are you excited?
01:33:20Come on, Reuben. Big game.
01:33:21Okay, do we have snuffie?
01:33:23Good, good, good.
01:33:26Alright, baby girl.
01:33:28I love you. I will see you at the game.
01:33:30I love you.
01:33:33Have fun.
01:33:35Bye, guys. I'll see you soon.
01:33:37Come on.
01:33:39Let's go, buddy.
