Necessary Roughness (2011) s03e07 Episode Script
Bringing the Heat
Previously, on Necessary Roughness Connor: We have an 18-year-old pitching phenom -- Darryl Hutchinson.
He's probably going first in the baseball draft next month.
Tell me about Joseph Crabchek.
Joe went bonkers in the dorm.
Dropped out of the Academy.
He wasn't drafted, and I never saw him again.
You were traumatized.
Did you Leak that tape? Wiznewski: Say goodbye to the Hawks, Mr.
King.
I'm trading your ass.
Can we talk about this tomorrow? There's nothing to talk about.
You stole money from the company, but now you're gonna make amends, Carl.
Yeah, I-I-I don't know if that's possible.
Carl Webber -- jumped off the roof of his Soho building.
He's dead.
Carl sent me something that he wanted me to see.
What is all of this? Carl wasn't stealing money from V3.
He was moving it.
The question now is for who? And why? [ Indistinct shouting .]
Woman: T.
K.
, how does it feel to be back with Coach Purnell? Like Peaches and Herb -- reunited, baby! That's right.
We're gonna kick some butt and take some names.
Uh, speaking of butts, word is She-K is no more since that sex tape dropped.
Any truth to the rumors? Next question.
What's gonna happen with Brickhouse now that you guys are done? Seriously? You -- you want to talk about lingerie, not football? Come on, T.
K.
we got to ask the question.
Yeah, give us something.
I'll give you something.
Print this.
All right.
Now, that's some Bobcats football for you right here.
All the news that's fit to print.
And we're back.
Players back, dressed in black Oh, excuse me.
Pardon me.
Hey, Nico, it's me -- again.
I haven't seen you, I haven't heard from you, and you know what? It's starting to feel a lot like deja you, so, um, call a girl back, please.
Dr.
Santino.
Yeah.
Oh.
Hi.
Uh, I'm Stuart.
I'm your temp for this week.
Paloma's still sick? No, they said something about a family emergency.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, any calls? Yes.
From? Oh.
Oh, they didn't say.
Uh gotcha, gotcha.
Ask.
Next time.
I'm sorry.
This is my third day in the temp pool.
You got to pay better attention to details, Stuart.
Attention.
Detail.
Stuart.
[ Chuckles .]
Got it.
[ Chuckling .]
Okay.
Oh.
Uh, so, what is on tap for today? I know I have the Darryl Hutchinson breakfast, and what? I don't see -- I don't see that here.
Yeah [Clears throat.]
You want to know why you don't see it there? 'Cause that's the wrong month.
But it's okay.
I got it, um O-okay.
But, Stuart? Yeah? Eye contact here.
Whoo.
Hi.
The one important thing that I need you to get right today is if Nico Careles calls, I want you to find me wherever I am and just patch him through.
Okay.
All right.
Rico Servantes? Could you spell that? Bennett: Where did this information come from? A flash drive Carl Webber sent Dr.
Santino right before he died.
So, V3's got a children's hospital that's off the books, located in the Caymans.
Outside of U.
S.
jurisdiction.
Well, I hope you have your passport ready.
Always.
Safe for you to disappear for a day? Well, Troy Cutler's in Germany.
He's really the only one who tracks my whereabouts.
What am I supposed to tell Dr.
Santino? Nothing.
Well, that's easier said than done.
Look, I don't care whether it's easy or not.
She's a wild card.
There's no telling what she might do.
You can't compromise this operation.
We've come too far.
Right.
Dallas is but a stone's throw away, Careles.
Just stay on task.
Now, when you look inside this case, most of you see an ordinary baseball.
You know what I see? Perfection.
This is the ball from a perfect game, thrown by a perfect pitcher, our very own Darryl Hutchinson! There you are, my friend.
[ Cheers and applause .]
Say something.
Uh Thank all of you for coming, especially you, Dad.
Even if the celebration's a bit premature, I -- I haven't made it to the majors yet.
Well, my friend, that is about to change.
I just found out recently that New York is sending their top scout to watch you in the game tomorrow.
If all goes well, they are calling you up to the bigs, my friend.
To the bigs! [ Cheers and applause .]
Let's kick some O.
J.
Good job.
[ Chuckling .]
Whoa, take it easy.
You don't want to drown yourself before the big game.
Yeah, I had no idea it was gonna happen so fast.
There's the man of the hour.
Who do we have here? This is the lady I've been telling you about.
Ed Hutchinson.
Doc Santino.
Oh.
[ Strained .]
Hey.
Affectionate.
[ Chuckles .]
Well, I have every right to be.
I'm finally meeting the woman who got my boy back in the air and feet on the mound -- thanks to you.
Hey, where's my hug? [ Chuckles .]
Thank you.
Thank you, Connor.
You know, I was thinking, some people are lucky enough to call their sons "doctors.
" I get to call mine "the phenom.
" Knock it off, pops.
[ Chuckles .]
He never could take a compliment.
Well, you better get used to it.
Will you guys Please excuse me for a sec? So, Dr.
Santino, if you care to join me, I have an extra ticket for the big game.
I wouldn't miss it.
Thank you very much.
Great.
Oh, Stuart, hey, listen, have you seen Darryl Hutchinson? Uh You know, Hutch? Um Okay, never mind.
No.
[ Mutters .]
[ Man retching, panting .]
Hutch? Oh.
Are you okay? I need to get out of here.
I'm in trouble, Doc.
Baby, work your magic on me [ T.
K.
laughs .]
Not your finest moment -- or angle, I might add.
I don't know, C-Mac.
It's kind of funny.
Yeah, well, I'm not laughing, and neither is Madison Avenue.
Look, all the work we put into re-branding you -- right out the window.
I have been thinking of some re-re-branding myself.
You know, forget She-K, move on to Me-K, mm-kay? Let me guess -- you want to start with Brickhouse.
Not only a master agent, he's a mind reader.
Well, you can't get rid of Sheera.
You taking her side? No, I'm not.
You just made a deal with her.
You can't break a deal.
Things get messy.
So you're saying I'm stuck with her.
Only on paper.
[ Cellphone chimes .]
Oh.
What? Let me guess -- not the Dalai Lama? It's more like the Dalai drama.
She just keeps calling and texting, trying to get back with me.
Hm.
Let me see.
The first thing you need to do is Oh, b-- get a new number and phone.
You got to make a clean break.
I'm trying.
It's just not as easy as I thought it would be.
[ Clanging .]
Look, I know how you feel.
I've been there -- business partner, heartbreak, the whole nine.
How'd you handle it? Well, I met this shaman in Chile.
He taught me how to relax every molecule in my body and remove any negative toxins from my soul.
Did it work? No.
Look, the only way to get over a good woman is to get under an even better one.
Darryl: I'm not ready.
I mean, I've -- I've only been in the minors for a couple of months, and everyone's already building me up to be this "legend" before I even get there.
Well, you've heard all of this before.
You've faced this kind of pressure.
So what's different? It's happening too fast.
Would the team really call you up if you weren't ready? [ Sighs .]
If they're trying to sell tickets, they would.
Yeah, people like a good fairy tale.
But, Hutch, this fairy tale is real.
Well, every fairy tale has a monster.
What's yours? I don't know.
Failure? [ Sighs .]
Success? Why would success be a monster? 'Cause you got to keep proving yourself over and over again.
It's just -- it doesn't stop.
You've heard the expression "one day at a time," Yeah.
Right? You got to take it one game at a time.
You need to stop projecting into the future, and you have to stay in the now.
But how? Remember how powerful your mind can be.
The Skittles.
Right.
[ Chuckles .]
I got another trick for you.
How's your geography? All right, Vince, tell me something good.
Where's Troy? I thought he should join this conversation.
He's in Germany, working on the Damarcus deal -- you know, the soccer phenom.
What's with the pinched face? That's not a good look for an attorney.
[ Chuckles .]
Especially my attorney.
Last week, it seemed like things at Justice were finally dying down.
And this week? I'm hearing chatter.
What kind of chatter? Well, apparently, the Feds are pursuing a fresh line of inquiry.
So they're not dropping the investigation.
They're stepping it up.
Give me a "T"! "T"! Give me a "K"! "K"! What's that spell? T.
K.
Whoo! [ Chuckles .]
So, when do I get to see the rest of the King's castle? Hmm.
You play your cards right, I might just let you polish the royal scepter.
[ Giggles .]
Ain't looking for love Hey, I don't want -- [ door slams .]
What the hell is she doing here? What the hell are you doing here? Uh, you gave me a set of keys, remember? Well, maybe it's time to call the locksmith.
Well, maybe if you answered your phone, you would have known I was coming by to pick up my stuff.
Well, maybe I was working.
Oh, well, she seems like a real professional.
I will have you know, she is a real professional -- a professional cheerleader.
And a dental hygienist.
Yeah, all that.
I bet you don't even know her name.
[ Chuckles .]
Of course I know her name.
It's Mindy.
It's Marnie.
Damn! Okay, I think I'm gonna go now.
Marnie.
M-Marnie, listen, girl.
I know your name.
I know your name -- it's Marnie.
I just got a little scrambled in the brain when I saw the she-devil standing over here! Okay? Only one queen is hanging with the king tonight, and I think that we both know who that is.
[ Both laugh .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Chuckles .]
Well that was unexpected.
You're telling me.
It's the best kind of sex, don't you think? What kind is that? Make-up sex.
I knew we were getting back together.
[ Smooches, sighs .]
It wasn't my fault.
You know, she was in my place.
What was I supposed to do? Oh, I don't know.
Ask her to leave? [ Chuckling .]
You say that like it was easy.
Hey, what can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants.
I don't think it's the heart you're talking about.
Maybe it's a bit of both.
Look, I-I know I screwed up, but after everything we've been through, I just -- there's something about her that still lights my fire.
Throw some water on it.
A cold shower's not gonna put out this inferno, you know.
Plus, chicks don't dig shrinkage.
You know what chicks don't dig? Mixed messages.
Look, as much as I love playing "Dear Abby" with you, my plate's full right now.
So, my last piece of advice -- make up your damn mind.
Hey, Paloma.
I'm just checking on you.
I know that you were sick and that you had some sort of family emergency, but I got to tell you, I'm gonna have my own emergency if I got to deal with this Stuart kid for much longer.
I can't tonight.
I've got dinner plans.
No.
No, she's not a tramp.
Yeah, uh, uh, I got to go.
Love you, too, Mom.
Any messages, Stuart? Yes, uh Someone named Ray Jay called from Paris.
That's my son.
Your son's French? No, he just lives in France.
Listen, if Ray Jay calls again, I want you to patch him through to my cell.
And if you see Mr.
Careles or if he calls, you patch him through to my cell -- and same goes for Paloma.
Okay, is there anyone you don't want me to patch through if they call? Yes.
My mother.
Oh, I forgot to tell you she's on line two.
Oh.
Oh, she was on line two.
Oh.
I -- I'll get her back.
No, don't get her back.
No? Announcer: Two outs to go in the bottom of the ninth.
Another Sterling performance from Darryl Hutchinson, who had a perfect game just three days ago.
Here's the wind-up and the pitch.
He struck him out! One out to go.
The crowd is going crazy.
This is as good as it gets in minor-league ball, folks.
That's my boy! Two down, one out to go.
Oh, this is so exciting.
He's killing it.
Thanks to you.
Stadium announcer: Now batting, number 11, Garrett Spindler.
Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas California, Colorado.
Announcer: Here comes Hutch to the mound.
He's in the stretch.
Here's the wind-up and the pitch.
Strike one! Whoo! [ Cheers and applause .]
I was kind of nervous about the game.
Why? Well, Darryl's been kind of under the weather the last couple days -- listless, low energy.
Practically had to drag him out of bed to get him to V3.
Strike two! Look at that! One more strike to go.
I feel free but today he is a superstar.
I'm pinching myself.
I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Darryl Hutchinson is on fire! All right, Darryl! Strike him out! Let's go! This is it, ladies and gentlemen.
Pitching phenom Darryl Hutchinson is one strike away from a complete-game shutout.
Ohh.
Dehydration? Yeah, the doctors say it's some sort of virus.
His lab work shows low levels of potassium, electrolytes.
They think he needs rest.
Okay, well, I don't think that giving Hutch some Gatorade and a bag of bananas is really gonna do the trick here.
Santino, what are you getting at? I don't know, but this feels like he's having some sort of relapse.
Relapse? I thought you cured him.
There's no cure in therapy, Connor.
All right, well, don't tell New York that.
Why? Where does he stand with them now? They're leaving him in the minors.
They're gonna see how he does the next game, and I can promise you this -- Hutch's second chance will probably be his last.
[ Exhales sharply .]
[ Exhales sharply .]
How was your trip to the Caymans? Get any sun? I didn't get much of anything.
So, what am I looking at? Why the children's hospital wasn't on the V3 books.
It doesn't exist.
Just an empty lot? Pulled the title on the property.
Belongs to some auto mechanic in New Jersey -- a Tony Zemp.
What the hell is a New Jersey auto mechanic doing with an empty piece of property in the Caymans? There's just one way to find out.
Time for a tune-up.
[ Scoffs .]
So much for geography.
Well, you were dehydrated.
Nothing's gonna help with that except fluids.
Yeah.
I guess I had a bug or something.
Hutch, how did you get so dehydrated? I-I don't know.
Vomiting can cause dehydration, so I'm just wondering if the incident at V3 wasn't the only time that this happened.
What are you getting at? Sometimes when people have anxiety or feelings that they can't cope with, they might self-induce vomiting as a way of relieving the stress, and it would account for the low electrolytes and potassium.
A-are you asking me if I'm bulimic? No.
I'm asking you if, when you are stressed, you self-induce vomiting as a coping mechanism, like when you witnessed Crabchek and his breakdown at the Academy, where a non-specified virus kept you bedridden for two whole weeks.
Crabchek -- are -- are we back to this again? Because we dealt with this months ago.
But maybe we didn't deal with it enough.
Hutch.
Hutch.
If you are purposefully making yourself sick, it's a form of self-harm, of punishing yourself for something, but I cannot help you unless you tell me the truth.
The truth.
Mm-hmm.
Fine.
Here's the truth.
No, I can't -- I can't talk about self-harm anymore.
I can't talk about Crabchek.
I-in fact, I [ Exhales deeply .]
I'm done -- period.
[ Door closes .]
Look -- Phil, look at my face.
Do I look worried? I'm not worried.
Look, Hutch was dehydrated.
We'll give him some Gatorade.
He'll be fine.
You tell the Yankees everything's gonna be okay.
Yeah, they better be.
All right.
Talk soon.
Okay.
McClane! Bruce! What are you doing here? Enjoying your two-, three-Martini lunch? We're celebrating.
Yeah? What are you celebrating? Not "what?" "Who?" Damarcus.
Yeah, I got him signed, sealed, and delivered at SBG this morning.
Wait a minute.
Damarcus was in your office this morning? Uh-huh.
Oh, come on, Connor.
You've been poaching my clients for months.
Here.
You look like you need this more than I do.
[ Elevator bell dings .]
Jasmine, get me Troy's travel itinerary -- hotels, accommodations, flights -- everything.
I want to know where the hell he is.
Hey, baby.
Hey.
Ouch! [ Chuckling .]
Hey, that's not very nice.
What's on your mind? Sheera Um You know all that make-up sex we had? That was actually breakup sex.
Really? Mm.
Wow.
Then that's a new world record for me.
I've never broken up six times in one night.
[ Sighs .]
The problem is, honestly, there's not enough make-up sex in the world to fix what you broke.
Oh, my God.
Are we back on the sex tape again? Are you ever gonna let go -- I never got off the sex tape, Sheera! No, no, no, wait.
You and that sex tape got me kicked off the Hawks! Yeah, but, baby, everything worked out.
No, it didn't.
No, it didn't.
You lied to me.
I have no clue if I can trust you.
Oh.
[ Chuckles .]
Okay, so what was the other night? What, you just wanted to get your last licks in before you kicked me to the curb? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I know I gave you some mixed messages.
I know that.
And you have every right to be upset with me.
Oh, you think this is me upset right now? This isn't me upset.
This! Oh! [ Glass shatters .]
is me upset! What are you doing?! Oh, no! [ Glass shatters .]
I just -- I just -- I just want to talk.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! This is me really upset! Wait, wait, wait.
No, no.
That's my comeback player of the year trophy! Oh, is this important to you? [ Scoffs .]
Well, so was I.
Don't worry.
I'm sure you'll get over it.
No, Sheera, please.
No, no! Hold -- stop it! [ Loud knock on door .]
Man: Police! Open up! Hey, fellas.
One Wi-Fi pineapple.
You can hack into a server with this? Just press this button.
When the lights go blue, you're in.
You just have to be within Easy enough.
[ Elevator bell dings .]
Hey, Careles! Hey, wait! [ Sighs .]
I've called you more times than I can count.
Where you been? Working.
Yeah, I know.
Have you found anything out about the ninth charity? Uh, nothing I could share with you.
What's that supposed to mean? It means I'm handling it internally.
I showed you that zip drive.
Now you think you're just gonna zip it on me? No way, no how.
Let's not talk about this here.
Well, I tried to talk about it on the telephone, but apparently you have forgotten how to use one of those.
I have not forgotten -- Dr.
Santino -- Just a minute, Stuart.
But I think you might want to see this.
See what? "Darryl Hutchinson is no longer a client of V3 Global"? Hutch quit baseball? Yeah, just walked away from everything.
He even sent back his precious ball.
Well, so, uh, what did he say to you? He didn't say anything.
He didn't have the cojones to talk to me personally.
He sent his father to do his dirty work.
To think I was cultivating a champion, but he just turned out to be a coward.
Oh, okay.
Those are pretty strong words about a guy who is obviously in a fragile state.
And from the looks of it, he's not the only one.
Santino, I just had 10 years of work go up in flames, not to mention the -- the time, the money, the resources I put into Hutch.
I actually cared about this kid.
I gave him every opportunity imaginable, and he just walked away like it's nothing.
Okay.
I get it.
Um, maybe there is something that we can try and do.
No.
I've called, I've texted, e-mailed.
He's just not returning anything.
Then where do we go from here, Connor? What do you mean where do we go? It's over.
Y-you're just gonna quit on him? I didn't quit on Hutch.
He quit on himself.
Darryl Hutchinson is no longer my client or yours.
End of story.
You're now rockin' with the best yeah you're now rockin' with the best deelux, cirious what up? Unh, come on you're rockin' with the best you're now rockin' with the best, you're welcome rappers fallin' off, and I can't help them Can I help you? I'm looking for a Tony Zemp.
Found him.
What can I do you for? It's not what you could do for me.
It's what you could do for this.
It's a new model, right? Yeah.
Man, I love what they did with the body.
Bold, sleek.
Bet she corners like she's on rails, huh? Yeah, she does the job.
So what's the problem, then? Was thinking of getting new rims, maybe a window tint.
Man of style and secrecy, huh? I prefer my privacy.
Yeah, who doesn't? All right, let's go inside.
We'll take care of the paperwork.
Great.
Let me just get my briefcase out of the trunk.
Sure.
You're now rockin' with the best [ Beep .]
This is Hutch.
Leave a message.
[ Beep .]
Hey, Hutch.
Look, I'm -- I'm not calling to try and talk you out of your decision, but I do hope that we can meet one last time for closure.
So call me, text me, facetime me.
Just, I want to know that you're okay.
[ Light knock on door .]
Hey.
What's going on? This is what's going on.
Police report.
Terrence, what happened? I tried to break up with fireball crazy, and that's what happened.
Wow.
Double wow with a side of WTF.
I don't know what to do.
She's not taking this breakup well, Doc.
I need your help.
Okay, well, you do know that I can't break up with your girlfriend for you, right? [ Hesitantly .]
Yes.
But maybe you could talk some sense into her, you know? I mean, I just want this to end without anybody getting hurt.
And honestly, I'm afraid of what Sheera might do.
To you? Or herself.
So, Sheera, Terrence mentioned that the two of you had a little misunderstanding.
He thought that this would be a safe place to talk it through together.
Okay.
Talk away.
T.
K.
: [ Sighs .]
Okay.
I care about you.
I do.
But what we're doing, me and you, I don't think that it's healthy for either one of us.
I know that we, you know, fell back into some Old habits.
But I think it's time for those habits to die, hard, like the movie But with no sequels.
Okay.
Okay? Okay what? You and I shouldn't be together anymore.
Thank you for the jellybeans.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Who are you, and what have you done with señorita en fuego, who torched my crib? Okay, yes, I was en fuego when you broke up with me -- again.
Okay, I've seen the error of my ways.
[ Sighs .]
I get it.
We're over.
Message received.
Dani: Okay.
So, are you both good? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I'll just come by tomorrow, pick up the rest of my stuff.
And mess up the rest of my place? I think not, no.
Oh, my God.
You are such a baby! I'm a baby? Oh, why? You want to throw my bassinet against the wall now? Oh, come on! Seriously, well, don't have make-up sex if we're not making up, T.
K.
! Oh, my God! Okay.
A-ba-ba-ba.
Time-out.
Terrence, how about you gather up Sheera's belongings, and then the two of you can meet somewhere on neutral ground? Fine.
V3.
That's where this all started.
Guess it might as well be where it ends.
You've reached Nico Careles.
Leave me a message.
[ Beep .]
All right, well, Paloma won't call me back, Hutch won't call me back, and you won't talk to me.
I'm starting to get a complex.
So, guess what -- I'm just gonna keep on calling you until Well, speaking of collapses, former top pick Darryl Hutchinson rocked New York this week you call me back.
announcing his retirement from baseball.
I mean, there are reports and rumors out there that Hutch has a history of mental illness, and that's why he cracked.
Yeah.
Reports surfaced that he was seeing a therapist.
What the hell? Hey! Did you leak Hutch's confidential health information to the press? Jay-Z, I'll call you right back.
Why would you ask me a question like that? I don't know -- 'cause it got out there somehow.
News flash, Santino -- he collapsed on the mound when he was supposed to be healthy as a horse.
That's how it got out.
And, you know, even if I was the amoral son of a bitch that you seem to think I am, what would I possibly gain by exposing Hutch? Hmm, I don't know -- to take the heat off of your failure? My failure? Yeah.
I did everything for that kid.
Why are we even still talking about him? We are talking about him because he is my patient.
Yeah, well, he was your patient.
He's no longer our client, thus no longer your patient.
No, that's not how I operate.
Oh, really? Well, that's how your contract operates -- the one you willingly signed when I brought you here.
You mean the Connor McClane famed exclusivity contract? Right, the one that he waives away at a whim to get what he wants or to shove in my face at his convenience.
I am not going to drop Hutch when he needs me most, and I'm certainly not gonna drop him 'cause you told me to.
Santino, take a look around.
You see this place, V3? This is my game.
I make the rules.
And if you don't like them, you know exactly where the door is.
Oh, you know what? You are right.
I quit.
Santino.
Santino! You wanted to see me? Careles, where have you been hiding? Troy asked me to keep tabs on a couple of clients in his absence.
Anything I should know? Everything's under control.
Always is with you, isn't it? Unfortunately, I'm not so lucky lately.
Santino quit.
She did? Yeah.
I won't bore you with the details, but it's pretty safe to say I stuck my foot -- actually my whole leg in my mouth.
And you're looking to extract it? Yeah.
You seem to have her ear.
Why don't you convince her to stay, will you? I'm not the man to make your case, trust me.
Dr.
Santino responds to one thing -- honesty.
Anything else? Yeah.
Just because Troy is away doesn't mean you can play.
I need to know what you're up to at all times.
I thought you paid me not to know.
Fair enough.
[ Knock on door .]
Hey, Ed.
Thanks for coming.
Are you kidding? I want to know everything you know, anything that'll help my boy.
Oh, well, it isn't much.
I was hoping you could fill me in on some details, maybe convince Hutch to see me one more time.
Convince him? I-I don't even know where he is.
I was hoping maybe you did.
Hutch is missing? None of this makes any damn sense.
We raised a good boy.
He's never given us any problem.
But the Darryl who would quit on his dreams, wouldn't even look me in the eye -- that's not my son.
And he didn't give you any reason at all? He just packed up his U-Haul and drove off.
And he's not answering my calls.
Did he say anything to you during your sessions, something that might explain what's happening? No, he didn't.
Well, if -- if you've got no answers and I've got no answers, there's got to be someone out there who does, right? Hmm.
How's that Wi-Fi pineapple treating us? You must have gotten it close enough to Zemp's server, 'cause I got some juice.
What do you have? I've been combing through Zemp's financials.
It turns out that that shop is the most lucrative body shop in history.
He's got 500k coming in each month.
Wow.
Looks like business is booming.
What's more interesting than the money coming in is the money going out.
Names, bankroll accounts, payoff lists.
Any of these names connected to V3? Joseph Crabchek.
That name mean anything to you? [ Sighs .]
That's everything.
Thank you.
I want you to know that This isn't easy for me either.
Then don't do it.
I have to do this, Sheera, for both of us.
I got to jet.
I got a night game, so Good luck.
Thank you.
T.
K.
, wait.
What? What do you want now, Brickhouse? That's gonna be the final nail in the coffin? No, I don't want Brickhouse.
I don't care about any of that stuff.
I don't care about my stuff.
Then what do you want, Sheera? You.
Listen, baby, I did some terrible things, and I went completely psycho on you.
And if I could go back in time and change that, I would.
But please Don't let the past ruin what could be an incredible future.
I can't -- I can't have a future with somebody I can't trust, Sheera.
T.
K.
, I love you.
Okay? I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
We've both made mistakes in our lives.
The difference is that when you made yours, the people that you love forgave you.
So why can't you do the same for me? You're killing me here, Sheera.
Okay.
Just Give me one thing, and then You can walk out that door and you'll never see me again.
What? A kiss.
One last kiss.
After that, if you say it's over, I'll walk away forever.
One nonfat, extra-foam cappuccino.
[ Chuckles .]
Thank you, Stuart.
Better late than never, right? Yeah.
[ Object thuds lightly .]
Do you need any help? I could -- No.
I'm almost done.
Connor: Not if I have anything to say about it.
Fun boy.
[ Mutters .]
Santino, I'm sorry.
I appreciate that.
But it doesn't change anything.
[ Object thuds lightly .]
So that's it? You're really going? [ Sighs .]
Well, like you said, it's your game.
You make up the rules.
I'm just unable to play by them.
[ Objects thudding lightly .]
My game has been a little off lately -- the FBI raid, losing Carl and Hutch.
I don't want to lose you.
We need you here.
I need you.
I need to find out what happened to Hutch, and I'm not gonna stop until I do.
Understood.
You know, bringing you here was one of the best moves of my career.
Losing you would be one of the worst.
Whatever I need to do to keep you here.
Yes or yes? [ Knock on door .]
You all right? What's going on? The text said you were in danger.
I guess I deserve that.
You deserve a lot more than that.
So [ Door closes .]
you quit V3? Ah ah.
My turn to ask questions.
Look, Dani, I know I've been elusive.
You're too kind to yourself.
I need you to be patient with me.
Ooh, sorry.
That flew out the window four days and three phone calls ago.
No, what's more important is the safety of one of my patients.
And I think that there is someone out there that might have answers for me, someone that you can help track down.
I need to find Joseph Crabchek.
So do I.
T.
K.
, T.
K.
! T.
K.
, congratulations on your win.
Tell us, how did it feel playing your first game in a different jersey? Oh, it felt like 150 yards and 2 T.
D.
s.
[ Laughs .]
Coach Purnell called the shots.
I just made it happen.
You know what I'm saying? The band is back together.
We just tuned up.
To what do you attribute your spectacular performance this evening? One, I'm spectacular.
And, two, it helps not being coached by the Wizzinator.
I got the Terminator! And ordinarily, I would keep my private life private, but there are certain things that you just can't keep to yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm engaged! I love you, baby! Whoo! I love you, too! I'm engaged! I love you, baby! Whoo! So much for that clean break.
Here I go again I hate to see you down when I come around so before I begin let me try to explain it hasn't been the same Why are you looking for Crabchek? I want to tell you everything, but I can't risk putting you in jeopardy.
Can you accept that? No! I can't! If you shut me out this way, if you shut me down this way, after everything that I have been through with Carl, then you really -- you don't care about me at all.
It's more complicated than that.
Oh, okay.
Then let me simplify it for you.
If you don't tell me everything that is going on right now, then you can walk out the door and never come back.
Here I go again Aah.
Mm! Everything dies, everything dies I feel myself longing for you everything rides Sit down.
I'll tell you everything.
He's probably going first in the baseball draft next month.
Tell me about Joseph Crabchek.
Joe went bonkers in the dorm.
Dropped out of the Academy.
He wasn't drafted, and I never saw him again.
You were traumatized.
Did you Leak that tape? Wiznewski: Say goodbye to the Hawks, Mr.
King.
I'm trading your ass.
Can we talk about this tomorrow? There's nothing to talk about.
You stole money from the company, but now you're gonna make amends, Carl.
Yeah, I-I-I don't know if that's possible.
Carl Webber -- jumped off the roof of his Soho building.
He's dead.
Carl sent me something that he wanted me to see.
What is all of this? Carl wasn't stealing money from V3.
He was moving it.
The question now is for who? And why? [ Indistinct shouting .]
Woman: T.
K.
, how does it feel to be back with Coach Purnell? Like Peaches and Herb -- reunited, baby! That's right.
We're gonna kick some butt and take some names.
Uh, speaking of butts, word is She-K is no more since that sex tape dropped.
Any truth to the rumors? Next question.
What's gonna happen with Brickhouse now that you guys are done? Seriously? You -- you want to talk about lingerie, not football? Come on, T.
K.
we got to ask the question.
Yeah, give us something.
I'll give you something.
Print this.
All right.
Now, that's some Bobcats football for you right here.
All the news that's fit to print.
And we're back.
Players back, dressed in black Oh, excuse me.
Pardon me.
Hey, Nico, it's me -- again.
I haven't seen you, I haven't heard from you, and you know what? It's starting to feel a lot like deja you, so, um, call a girl back, please.
Dr.
Santino.
Yeah.
Oh.
Hi.
Uh, I'm Stuart.
I'm your temp for this week.
Paloma's still sick? No, they said something about a family emergency.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, any calls? Yes.
From? Oh.
Oh, they didn't say.
Uh gotcha, gotcha.
Ask.
Next time.
I'm sorry.
This is my third day in the temp pool.
You got to pay better attention to details, Stuart.
Attention.
Detail.
Stuart.
[ Chuckles .]
Got it.
[ Chuckling .]
Okay.
Oh.
Uh, so, what is on tap for today? I know I have the Darryl Hutchinson breakfast, and what? I don't see -- I don't see that here.
Yeah [Clears throat.]
You want to know why you don't see it there? 'Cause that's the wrong month.
But it's okay.
I got it, um O-okay.
But, Stuart? Yeah? Eye contact here.
Whoo.
Hi.
The one important thing that I need you to get right today is if Nico Careles calls, I want you to find me wherever I am and just patch him through.
Okay.
All right.
Rico Servantes? Could you spell that? Bennett: Where did this information come from? A flash drive Carl Webber sent Dr.
Santino right before he died.
So, V3's got a children's hospital that's off the books, located in the Caymans.
Outside of U.
S.
jurisdiction.
Well, I hope you have your passport ready.
Always.
Safe for you to disappear for a day? Well, Troy Cutler's in Germany.
He's really the only one who tracks my whereabouts.
What am I supposed to tell Dr.
Santino? Nothing.
Well, that's easier said than done.
Look, I don't care whether it's easy or not.
She's a wild card.
There's no telling what she might do.
You can't compromise this operation.
We've come too far.
Right.
Dallas is but a stone's throw away, Careles.
Just stay on task.
Now, when you look inside this case, most of you see an ordinary baseball.
You know what I see? Perfection.
This is the ball from a perfect game, thrown by a perfect pitcher, our very own Darryl Hutchinson! There you are, my friend.
[ Cheers and applause .]
Say something.
Uh Thank all of you for coming, especially you, Dad.
Even if the celebration's a bit premature, I -- I haven't made it to the majors yet.
Well, my friend, that is about to change.
I just found out recently that New York is sending their top scout to watch you in the game tomorrow.
If all goes well, they are calling you up to the bigs, my friend.
To the bigs! [ Cheers and applause .]
Let's kick some O.
J.
Good job.
[ Chuckling .]
Whoa, take it easy.
You don't want to drown yourself before the big game.
Yeah, I had no idea it was gonna happen so fast.
There's the man of the hour.
Who do we have here? This is the lady I've been telling you about.
Ed Hutchinson.
Doc Santino.
Oh.
[ Strained .]
Hey.
Affectionate.
[ Chuckles .]
Well, I have every right to be.
I'm finally meeting the woman who got my boy back in the air and feet on the mound -- thanks to you.
Hey, where's my hug? [ Chuckles .]
Thank you.
Thank you, Connor.
You know, I was thinking, some people are lucky enough to call their sons "doctors.
" I get to call mine "the phenom.
" Knock it off, pops.
[ Chuckles .]
He never could take a compliment.
Well, you better get used to it.
Will you guys Please excuse me for a sec? So, Dr.
Santino, if you care to join me, I have an extra ticket for the big game.
I wouldn't miss it.
Thank you very much.
Great.
Oh, Stuart, hey, listen, have you seen Darryl Hutchinson? Uh You know, Hutch? Um Okay, never mind.
No.
[ Mutters .]
[ Man retching, panting .]
Hutch? Oh.
Are you okay? I need to get out of here.
I'm in trouble, Doc.
Baby, work your magic on me [ T.
K.
laughs .]
Not your finest moment -- or angle, I might add.
I don't know, C-Mac.
It's kind of funny.
Yeah, well, I'm not laughing, and neither is Madison Avenue.
Look, all the work we put into re-branding you -- right out the window.
I have been thinking of some re-re-branding myself.
You know, forget She-K, move on to Me-K, mm-kay? Let me guess -- you want to start with Brickhouse.
Not only a master agent, he's a mind reader.
Well, you can't get rid of Sheera.
You taking her side? No, I'm not.
You just made a deal with her.
You can't break a deal.
Things get messy.
So you're saying I'm stuck with her.
Only on paper.
[ Cellphone chimes .]
Oh.
What? Let me guess -- not the Dalai Lama? It's more like the Dalai drama.
She just keeps calling and texting, trying to get back with me.
Hm.
Let me see.
The first thing you need to do is Oh, b-- get a new number and phone.
You got to make a clean break.
I'm trying.
It's just not as easy as I thought it would be.
[ Clanging .]
Look, I know how you feel.
I've been there -- business partner, heartbreak, the whole nine.
How'd you handle it? Well, I met this shaman in Chile.
He taught me how to relax every molecule in my body and remove any negative toxins from my soul.
Did it work? No.
Look, the only way to get over a good woman is to get under an even better one.
Darryl: I'm not ready.
I mean, I've -- I've only been in the minors for a couple of months, and everyone's already building me up to be this "legend" before I even get there.
Well, you've heard all of this before.
You've faced this kind of pressure.
So what's different? It's happening too fast.
Would the team really call you up if you weren't ready? [ Sighs .]
If they're trying to sell tickets, they would.
Yeah, people like a good fairy tale.
But, Hutch, this fairy tale is real.
Well, every fairy tale has a monster.
What's yours? I don't know.
Failure? [ Sighs .]
Success? Why would success be a monster? 'Cause you got to keep proving yourself over and over again.
It's just -- it doesn't stop.
You've heard the expression "one day at a time," Yeah.
Right? You got to take it one game at a time.
You need to stop projecting into the future, and you have to stay in the now.
But how? Remember how powerful your mind can be.
The Skittles.
Right.
[ Chuckles .]
I got another trick for you.
How's your geography? All right, Vince, tell me something good.
Where's Troy? I thought he should join this conversation.
He's in Germany, working on the Damarcus deal -- you know, the soccer phenom.
What's with the pinched face? That's not a good look for an attorney.
[ Chuckles .]
Especially my attorney.
Last week, it seemed like things at Justice were finally dying down.
And this week? I'm hearing chatter.
What kind of chatter? Well, apparently, the Feds are pursuing a fresh line of inquiry.
So they're not dropping the investigation.
They're stepping it up.
Give me a "T"! "T"! Give me a "K"! "K"! What's that spell? T.
K.
Whoo! [ Chuckles .]
So, when do I get to see the rest of the King's castle? Hmm.
You play your cards right, I might just let you polish the royal scepter.
[ Giggles .]
Ain't looking for love Hey, I don't want -- [ door slams .]
What the hell is she doing here? What the hell are you doing here? Uh, you gave me a set of keys, remember? Well, maybe it's time to call the locksmith.
Well, maybe if you answered your phone, you would have known I was coming by to pick up my stuff.
Well, maybe I was working.
Oh, well, she seems like a real professional.
I will have you know, she is a real professional -- a professional cheerleader.
And a dental hygienist.
Yeah, all that.
I bet you don't even know her name.
[ Chuckles .]
Of course I know her name.
It's Mindy.
It's Marnie.
Damn! Okay, I think I'm gonna go now.
Marnie.
M-Marnie, listen, girl.
I know your name.
I know your name -- it's Marnie.
I just got a little scrambled in the brain when I saw the she-devil standing over here! Okay? Only one queen is hanging with the king tonight, and I think that we both know who that is.
[ Both laugh .]
[ Sighs .]
[ Chuckles .]
Well that was unexpected.
You're telling me.
It's the best kind of sex, don't you think? What kind is that? Make-up sex.
I knew we were getting back together.
[ Smooches, sighs .]
It wasn't my fault.
You know, she was in my place.
What was I supposed to do? Oh, I don't know.
Ask her to leave? [ Chuckling .]
You say that like it was easy.
Hey, what can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants.
I don't think it's the heart you're talking about.
Maybe it's a bit of both.
Look, I-I know I screwed up, but after everything we've been through, I just -- there's something about her that still lights my fire.
Throw some water on it.
A cold shower's not gonna put out this inferno, you know.
Plus, chicks don't dig shrinkage.
You know what chicks don't dig? Mixed messages.
Look, as much as I love playing "Dear Abby" with you, my plate's full right now.
So, my last piece of advice -- make up your damn mind.
Hey, Paloma.
I'm just checking on you.
I know that you were sick and that you had some sort of family emergency, but I got to tell you, I'm gonna have my own emergency if I got to deal with this Stuart kid for much longer.
I can't tonight.
I've got dinner plans.
No.
No, she's not a tramp.
Yeah, uh, uh, I got to go.
Love you, too, Mom.
Any messages, Stuart? Yes, uh Someone named Ray Jay called from Paris.
That's my son.
Your son's French? No, he just lives in France.
Listen, if Ray Jay calls again, I want you to patch him through to my cell.
And if you see Mr.
Careles or if he calls, you patch him through to my cell -- and same goes for Paloma.
Okay, is there anyone you don't want me to patch through if they call? Yes.
My mother.
Oh, I forgot to tell you she's on line two.
Oh.
Oh, she was on line two.
Oh.
I -- I'll get her back.
No, don't get her back.
No? Announcer: Two outs to go in the bottom of the ninth.
Another Sterling performance from Darryl Hutchinson, who had a perfect game just three days ago.
Here's the wind-up and the pitch.
He struck him out! One out to go.
The crowd is going crazy.
This is as good as it gets in minor-league ball, folks.
That's my boy! Two down, one out to go.
Oh, this is so exciting.
He's killing it.
Thanks to you.
Stadium announcer: Now batting, number 11, Garrett Spindler.
Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas California, Colorado.
Announcer: Here comes Hutch to the mound.
He's in the stretch.
Here's the wind-up and the pitch.
Strike one! Whoo! [ Cheers and applause .]
I was kind of nervous about the game.
Why? Well, Darryl's been kind of under the weather the last couple days -- listless, low energy.
Practically had to drag him out of bed to get him to V3.
Strike two! Look at that! One more strike to go.
I feel free but today he is a superstar.
I'm pinching myself.
I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Darryl Hutchinson is on fire! All right, Darryl! Strike him out! Let's go! This is it, ladies and gentlemen.
Pitching phenom Darryl Hutchinson is one strike away from a complete-game shutout.
Ohh.
Dehydration? Yeah, the doctors say it's some sort of virus.
His lab work shows low levels of potassium, electrolytes.
They think he needs rest.
Okay, well, I don't think that giving Hutch some Gatorade and a bag of bananas is really gonna do the trick here.
Santino, what are you getting at? I don't know, but this feels like he's having some sort of relapse.
Relapse? I thought you cured him.
There's no cure in therapy, Connor.
All right, well, don't tell New York that.
Why? Where does he stand with them now? They're leaving him in the minors.
They're gonna see how he does the next game, and I can promise you this -- Hutch's second chance will probably be his last.
[ Exhales sharply .]
[ Exhales sharply .]
How was your trip to the Caymans? Get any sun? I didn't get much of anything.
So, what am I looking at? Why the children's hospital wasn't on the V3 books.
It doesn't exist.
Just an empty lot? Pulled the title on the property.
Belongs to some auto mechanic in New Jersey -- a Tony Zemp.
What the hell is a New Jersey auto mechanic doing with an empty piece of property in the Caymans? There's just one way to find out.
Time for a tune-up.
[ Scoffs .]
So much for geography.
Well, you were dehydrated.
Nothing's gonna help with that except fluids.
Yeah.
I guess I had a bug or something.
Hutch, how did you get so dehydrated? I-I don't know.
Vomiting can cause dehydration, so I'm just wondering if the incident at V3 wasn't the only time that this happened.
What are you getting at? Sometimes when people have anxiety or feelings that they can't cope with, they might self-induce vomiting as a way of relieving the stress, and it would account for the low electrolytes and potassium.
A-are you asking me if I'm bulimic? No.
I'm asking you if, when you are stressed, you self-induce vomiting as a coping mechanism, like when you witnessed Crabchek and his breakdown at the Academy, where a non-specified virus kept you bedridden for two whole weeks.
Crabchek -- are -- are we back to this again? Because we dealt with this months ago.
But maybe we didn't deal with it enough.
Hutch.
Hutch.
If you are purposefully making yourself sick, it's a form of self-harm, of punishing yourself for something, but I cannot help you unless you tell me the truth.
The truth.
Mm-hmm.
Fine.
Here's the truth.
No, I can't -- I can't talk about self-harm anymore.
I can't talk about Crabchek.
I-in fact, I [ Exhales deeply .]
I'm done -- period.
[ Door closes .]
Look -- Phil, look at my face.
Do I look worried? I'm not worried.
Look, Hutch was dehydrated.
We'll give him some Gatorade.
He'll be fine.
You tell the Yankees everything's gonna be okay.
Yeah, they better be.
All right.
Talk soon.
Okay.
McClane! Bruce! What are you doing here? Enjoying your two-, three-Martini lunch? We're celebrating.
Yeah? What are you celebrating? Not "what?" "Who?" Damarcus.
Yeah, I got him signed, sealed, and delivered at SBG this morning.
Wait a minute.
Damarcus was in your office this morning? Uh-huh.
Oh, come on, Connor.
You've been poaching my clients for months.
Here.
You look like you need this more than I do.
[ Elevator bell dings .]
Jasmine, get me Troy's travel itinerary -- hotels, accommodations, flights -- everything.
I want to know where the hell he is.
Hey, baby.
Hey.
Ouch! [ Chuckling .]
Hey, that's not very nice.
What's on your mind? Sheera Um You know all that make-up sex we had? That was actually breakup sex.
Really? Mm.
Wow.
Then that's a new world record for me.
I've never broken up six times in one night.
[ Sighs .]
The problem is, honestly, there's not enough make-up sex in the world to fix what you broke.
Oh, my God.
Are we back on the sex tape again? Are you ever gonna let go -- I never got off the sex tape, Sheera! No, no, no, wait.
You and that sex tape got me kicked off the Hawks! Yeah, but, baby, everything worked out.
No, it didn't.
No, it didn't.
You lied to me.
I have no clue if I can trust you.
Oh.
[ Chuckles .]
Okay, so what was the other night? What, you just wanted to get your last licks in before you kicked me to the curb? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I know I gave you some mixed messages.
I know that.
And you have every right to be upset with me.
Oh, you think this is me upset right now? This isn't me upset.
This! Oh! [ Glass shatters .]
is me upset! What are you doing?! Oh, no! [ Glass shatters .]
I just -- I just -- I just want to talk.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! This is me really upset! Wait, wait, wait.
No, no.
That's my comeback player of the year trophy! Oh, is this important to you? [ Scoffs .]
Well, so was I.
Don't worry.
I'm sure you'll get over it.
No, Sheera, please.
No, no! Hold -- stop it! [ Loud knock on door .]
Man: Police! Open up! Hey, fellas.
One Wi-Fi pineapple.
You can hack into a server with this? Just press this button.
When the lights go blue, you're in.
You just have to be within Easy enough.
[ Elevator bell dings .]
Hey, Careles! Hey, wait! [ Sighs .]
I've called you more times than I can count.
Where you been? Working.
Yeah, I know.
Have you found anything out about the ninth charity? Uh, nothing I could share with you.
What's that supposed to mean? It means I'm handling it internally.
I showed you that zip drive.
Now you think you're just gonna zip it on me? No way, no how.
Let's not talk about this here.
Well, I tried to talk about it on the telephone, but apparently you have forgotten how to use one of those.
I have not forgotten -- Dr.
Santino -- Just a minute, Stuart.
But I think you might want to see this.
See what? "Darryl Hutchinson is no longer a client of V3 Global"? Hutch quit baseball? Yeah, just walked away from everything.
He even sent back his precious ball.
Well, so, uh, what did he say to you? He didn't say anything.
He didn't have the cojones to talk to me personally.
He sent his father to do his dirty work.
To think I was cultivating a champion, but he just turned out to be a coward.
Oh, okay.
Those are pretty strong words about a guy who is obviously in a fragile state.
And from the looks of it, he's not the only one.
Santino, I just had 10 years of work go up in flames, not to mention the -- the time, the money, the resources I put into Hutch.
I actually cared about this kid.
I gave him every opportunity imaginable, and he just walked away like it's nothing.
Okay.
I get it.
Um, maybe there is something that we can try and do.
No.
I've called, I've texted, e-mailed.
He's just not returning anything.
Then where do we go from here, Connor? What do you mean where do we go? It's over.
Y-you're just gonna quit on him? I didn't quit on Hutch.
He quit on himself.
Darryl Hutchinson is no longer my client or yours.
End of story.
You're now rockin' with the best yeah you're now rockin' with the best deelux, cirious what up? Unh, come on you're rockin' with the best you're now rockin' with the best, you're welcome rappers fallin' off, and I can't help them Can I help you? I'm looking for a Tony Zemp.
Found him.
What can I do you for? It's not what you could do for me.
It's what you could do for this.
It's a new model, right? Yeah.
Man, I love what they did with the body.
Bold, sleek.
Bet she corners like she's on rails, huh? Yeah, she does the job.
So what's the problem, then? Was thinking of getting new rims, maybe a window tint.
Man of style and secrecy, huh? I prefer my privacy.
Yeah, who doesn't? All right, let's go inside.
We'll take care of the paperwork.
Great.
Let me just get my briefcase out of the trunk.
Sure.
You're now rockin' with the best [ Beep .]
This is Hutch.
Leave a message.
[ Beep .]
Hey, Hutch.
Look, I'm -- I'm not calling to try and talk you out of your decision, but I do hope that we can meet one last time for closure.
So call me, text me, facetime me.
Just, I want to know that you're okay.
[ Light knock on door .]
Hey.
What's going on? This is what's going on.
Police report.
Terrence, what happened? I tried to break up with fireball crazy, and that's what happened.
Wow.
Double wow with a side of WTF.
I don't know what to do.
She's not taking this breakup well, Doc.
I need your help.
Okay, well, you do know that I can't break up with your girlfriend for you, right? [ Hesitantly .]
Yes.
But maybe you could talk some sense into her, you know? I mean, I just want this to end without anybody getting hurt.
And honestly, I'm afraid of what Sheera might do.
To you? Or herself.
So, Sheera, Terrence mentioned that the two of you had a little misunderstanding.
He thought that this would be a safe place to talk it through together.
Okay.
Talk away.
T.
K.
: [ Sighs .]
Okay.
I care about you.
I do.
But what we're doing, me and you, I don't think that it's healthy for either one of us.
I know that we, you know, fell back into some Old habits.
But I think it's time for those habits to die, hard, like the movie But with no sequels.
Okay.
Okay? Okay what? You and I shouldn't be together anymore.
Thank you for the jellybeans.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Who are you, and what have you done with señorita en fuego, who torched my crib? Okay, yes, I was en fuego when you broke up with me -- again.
Okay, I've seen the error of my ways.
[ Sighs .]
I get it.
We're over.
Message received.
Dani: Okay.
So, are you both good? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I'll just come by tomorrow, pick up the rest of my stuff.
And mess up the rest of my place? I think not, no.
Oh, my God.
You are such a baby! I'm a baby? Oh, why? You want to throw my bassinet against the wall now? Oh, come on! Seriously, well, don't have make-up sex if we're not making up, T.
K.
! Oh, my God! Okay.
A-ba-ba-ba.
Time-out.
Terrence, how about you gather up Sheera's belongings, and then the two of you can meet somewhere on neutral ground? Fine.
V3.
That's where this all started.
Guess it might as well be where it ends.
You've reached Nico Careles.
Leave me a message.
[ Beep .]
All right, well, Paloma won't call me back, Hutch won't call me back, and you won't talk to me.
I'm starting to get a complex.
So, guess what -- I'm just gonna keep on calling you until Well, speaking of collapses, former top pick Darryl Hutchinson rocked New York this week you call me back.
announcing his retirement from baseball.
I mean, there are reports and rumors out there that Hutch has a history of mental illness, and that's why he cracked.
Yeah.
Reports surfaced that he was seeing a therapist.
What the hell? Hey! Did you leak Hutch's confidential health information to the press? Jay-Z, I'll call you right back.
Why would you ask me a question like that? I don't know -- 'cause it got out there somehow.
News flash, Santino -- he collapsed on the mound when he was supposed to be healthy as a horse.
That's how it got out.
And, you know, even if I was the amoral son of a bitch that you seem to think I am, what would I possibly gain by exposing Hutch? Hmm, I don't know -- to take the heat off of your failure? My failure? Yeah.
I did everything for that kid.
Why are we even still talking about him? We are talking about him because he is my patient.
Yeah, well, he was your patient.
He's no longer our client, thus no longer your patient.
No, that's not how I operate.
Oh, really? Well, that's how your contract operates -- the one you willingly signed when I brought you here.
You mean the Connor McClane famed exclusivity contract? Right, the one that he waives away at a whim to get what he wants or to shove in my face at his convenience.
I am not going to drop Hutch when he needs me most, and I'm certainly not gonna drop him 'cause you told me to.
Santino, take a look around.
You see this place, V3? This is my game.
I make the rules.
And if you don't like them, you know exactly where the door is.
Oh, you know what? You are right.
I quit.
Santino.
Santino! You wanted to see me? Careles, where have you been hiding? Troy asked me to keep tabs on a couple of clients in his absence.
Anything I should know? Everything's under control.
Always is with you, isn't it? Unfortunately, I'm not so lucky lately.
Santino quit.
She did? Yeah.
I won't bore you with the details, but it's pretty safe to say I stuck my foot -- actually my whole leg in my mouth.
And you're looking to extract it? Yeah.
You seem to have her ear.
Why don't you convince her to stay, will you? I'm not the man to make your case, trust me.
Dr.
Santino responds to one thing -- honesty.
Anything else? Yeah.
Just because Troy is away doesn't mean you can play.
I need to know what you're up to at all times.
I thought you paid me not to know.
Fair enough.
[ Knock on door .]
Hey, Ed.
Thanks for coming.
Are you kidding? I want to know everything you know, anything that'll help my boy.
Oh, well, it isn't much.
I was hoping you could fill me in on some details, maybe convince Hutch to see me one more time.
Convince him? I-I don't even know where he is.
I was hoping maybe you did.
Hutch is missing? None of this makes any damn sense.
We raised a good boy.
He's never given us any problem.
But the Darryl who would quit on his dreams, wouldn't even look me in the eye -- that's not my son.
And he didn't give you any reason at all? He just packed up his U-Haul and drove off.
And he's not answering my calls.
Did he say anything to you during your sessions, something that might explain what's happening? No, he didn't.
Well, if -- if you've got no answers and I've got no answers, there's got to be someone out there who does, right? Hmm.
How's that Wi-Fi pineapple treating us? You must have gotten it close enough to Zemp's server, 'cause I got some juice.
What do you have? I've been combing through Zemp's financials.
It turns out that that shop is the most lucrative body shop in history.
He's got 500k coming in each month.
Wow.
Looks like business is booming.
What's more interesting than the money coming in is the money going out.
Names, bankroll accounts, payoff lists.
Any of these names connected to V3? Joseph Crabchek.
That name mean anything to you? [ Sighs .]
That's everything.
Thank you.
I want you to know that This isn't easy for me either.
Then don't do it.
I have to do this, Sheera, for both of us.
I got to jet.
I got a night game, so Good luck.
Thank you.
T.
K.
, wait.
What? What do you want now, Brickhouse? That's gonna be the final nail in the coffin? No, I don't want Brickhouse.
I don't care about any of that stuff.
I don't care about my stuff.
Then what do you want, Sheera? You.
Listen, baby, I did some terrible things, and I went completely psycho on you.
And if I could go back in time and change that, I would.
But please Don't let the past ruin what could be an incredible future.
I can't -- I can't have a future with somebody I can't trust, Sheera.
T.
K.
, I love you.
Okay? I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
We've both made mistakes in our lives.
The difference is that when you made yours, the people that you love forgave you.
So why can't you do the same for me? You're killing me here, Sheera.
Okay.
Just Give me one thing, and then You can walk out that door and you'll never see me again.
What? A kiss.
One last kiss.
After that, if you say it's over, I'll walk away forever.
One nonfat, extra-foam cappuccino.
[ Chuckles .]
Thank you, Stuart.
Better late than never, right? Yeah.
[ Object thuds lightly .]
Do you need any help? I could -- No.
I'm almost done.
Connor: Not if I have anything to say about it.
Fun boy.
[ Mutters .]
Santino, I'm sorry.
I appreciate that.
But it doesn't change anything.
[ Object thuds lightly .]
So that's it? You're really going? [ Sighs .]
Well, like you said, it's your game.
You make up the rules.
I'm just unable to play by them.
[ Objects thudding lightly .]
My game has been a little off lately -- the FBI raid, losing Carl and Hutch.
I don't want to lose you.
We need you here.
I need you.
I need to find out what happened to Hutch, and I'm not gonna stop until I do.
Understood.
You know, bringing you here was one of the best moves of my career.
Losing you would be one of the worst.
Whatever I need to do to keep you here.
Yes or yes? [ Knock on door .]
You all right? What's going on? The text said you were in danger.
I guess I deserve that.
You deserve a lot more than that.
So [ Door closes .]
you quit V3? Ah ah.
My turn to ask questions.
Look, Dani, I know I've been elusive.
You're too kind to yourself.
I need you to be patient with me.
Ooh, sorry.
That flew out the window four days and three phone calls ago.
No, what's more important is the safety of one of my patients.
And I think that there is someone out there that might have answers for me, someone that you can help track down.
I need to find Joseph Crabchek.
So do I.
T.
K.
, T.
K.
! T.
K.
, congratulations on your win.
Tell us, how did it feel playing your first game in a different jersey? Oh, it felt like 150 yards and 2 T.
D.
s.
[ Laughs .]
Coach Purnell called the shots.
I just made it happen.
You know what I'm saying? The band is back together.
We just tuned up.
To what do you attribute your spectacular performance this evening? One, I'm spectacular.
And, two, it helps not being coached by the Wizzinator.
I got the Terminator! And ordinarily, I would keep my private life private, but there are certain things that you just can't keep to yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm engaged! I love you, baby! Whoo! I love you, too! I'm engaged! I love you, baby! Whoo! So much for that clean break.
Here I go again I hate to see you down when I come around so before I begin let me try to explain it hasn't been the same Why are you looking for Crabchek? I want to tell you everything, but I can't risk putting you in jeopardy.
Can you accept that? No! I can't! If you shut me out this way, if you shut me down this way, after everything that I have been through with Carl, then you really -- you don't care about me at all.
It's more complicated than that.
Oh, okay.
Then let me simplify it for you.
If you don't tell me everything that is going on right now, then you can walk out the door and never come back.
Here I go again Aah.
Mm! Everything dies, everything dies I feel myself longing for you everything rides Sit down.
I'll tell you everything.
