S.W.A.T. (2017) s07e03 Episode Script

1
There you go, come on.
There you go.
- [GRUNTING]
- Yeah.
Damn, Cabrera, killing it.
Got some pent-up aggression there?
What makes you think I need
to be angry to kick some ass?
Oh, he's just used to Street's
little love taps on the bag.
Hey, did you guys hear?
LAFD beat Park Police
last night, 11 to four.
That means cops versus smoke eaters
in the championship game on Tuesday.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah.
- They're a tough team.
Got a couple big boys who can
hit the crap out of the ball.
Well, good thing
we got Tan on the mound.
Just the crew I was looking for.
Wanted to remind you,
if you haven't already,
to sign up for Tuesday's
SWAT pasta night fundraiser.
Now, I know Hondo's in.
He's bringing homemade tiramisu.
POWELL: Hondo's making the dessert.
Is that really supposed to tempt us?
It's actually Nichelle's recipe, Powell,
so I would choose your next words
very carefully.
So, everybody's in?
I don't know, Deacon.
Might take a pass on that.
ALFARO: Ditto. You know me and gluten.
- [CHUCKLES] Pasta is not my friend.
- DEACON: Mm.
Pasta night is a SWAT tradition.
It's been going on
for a really long time,
and all the money raised
goes to charity.
Yeah, all right. Count me in, Deac.
Good. Sign-up sheet's in the kitchen.
Just so the rest of you know.
TAN: What?
NICHELLE: I love this.
We haven't done this in a while.
It's nice to have a little alone time.
Feels like I haven't seen you
that much lately.
I know, baby,
and I'm sorry, but, hey,
we're good. Don't worry.
I'm not worried.
Doesn't mean I don't want
to see more of you.
You give any thought to when
we might sneak in a honeymoon?
Vivie has four grandparents,
all willing to watch her
any time we want to slip away.
And I am well aware.
It's just been a little tricky
with Street running SWA
training down in Long Beach
and Luca still in London,
but, baby, you are right,
we do need to find the time.
Hopefully while we're still newlyweds.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
- [PHONE BUZZING]
It's from my office.
The inspector general,
she needs to see me today.
I thought this was your day off.
Now look whose job is pulling us apart.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Excuse me. Can we get the check, please?
Uh-huh, right away.
CAMERON: Hey, what
do you think of this area?
I mean, it's pretty cool, right?
Mm-hmm.
What if, uh, what if we got
a place around here?
We?
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking maybe
we should move in together.
Uh Is it is that a bad idea?
It's
kind of fast,
- that's all.
- Well,
I-I just thought since
things are going so well.
But, look
if the idea freaks you out,
we really don't
Come on. This way.
Suki, wh-where are we going?
A dispensary?
[ENTRY BELL JINGLES]
Need to see an ID.
What's going on?
Suki, what?
Hey, hey.
Tell me what's happening.
ID.
You need to show me an ID.
[BYSTANDERS SCREAMING]
- [GUNFIRE CONTINUES]
- Nichelle.
That was gunfire. It was close.
[PHONE CHIMES]
The dispensary on Maywood
just hit its panic button.
Maywood's only a block from here.
All right, call 911, tell 'em
I'm responding,
- off-duty, plainclothes.
- Be careful, babe.
[GUNFIRE CONTINUES]
LAPD! Move! Move!
Out of the way! Out of the way!
[BYSTANDERS CRYING]
Suki
CAMERON: Suki. Suki, no.
[SCREAMING]
[SCREAMS]
- LAPD! Drop the weapon!
- [SCREAMS]
[BYSTANDERS CLAMORING]
HONDO: Get on the ground!
Get down now! Get down!
[TIRES SCREECHING]
SUKI: Oh, my God.
[SUKI CRYING]
Get out of the road!
[GASPS]
You okay? Yeah.
Help me, please!
[INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION]
HONDO: I don't know
who the hell they were,
but they were professional,
and they hit hard.
"Shock and awe" assault, right
in the middle of the Arts District.
Spoke to a couple of the employees.
They've got close to
a hundred grand in cash on hand,
nothing was taken.
No. This was all about the girl.
We have any idea why?
The boyfriend's right there,
but the kid's still in shock.
Could barely give me more than her name.
TAN: Suki Ito.
She must've dropped her bag
before she was taken,
but there's a problem. I just ran her ID
through the system. ID's bogus.
Suki Ito doesn't exist.
So, what do three Japanese
killers want with a ghost?
This the dead perp? That's a lot of ink.
Irezumi tattoos.
So, he's yakuza.
HONDO: Coroner ID'd him
as Yoshi Takashi.
Flew in from Japan three days ago.
Had four buddies with him.
Now, I've already spoken
to our friends in the Tokyo PD.
They confirmed that all five men
are known members
of the Yami-Yami crime family.
Mainland yakuza making noise in L.A.
Isn't a broad daylight kidnapping
a bit too loud for them?
HONDO: Struck me as odd, too, Commander,
which means whatever
they wanted from the woman
they abducted, they wanted it badly.
DEACON: Now, Suki Ito,
that's a fake identity,
but it's a really good one.
Includes bogus passport,
work docs, Social.
This is not the kind of fake ID
you get down on Sixth and Alvarado.
HONDO: Tokyo PD's running
her photo through their facial rec.
They'll let us know if they get a hit.
All right, I already sent
Tan and Cabrera
to check Suki's address.
Powell and Alfaro are sitting
down with her boyfriend.
These guys came a long way
to stir up a lot of trouble,
and something tells me
we haven't seen the end of it.
So, Suki isn't even her real name.
And you had no idea?
Even though you've been
dating her for six months?
No, I N-None at all.
I [SIGHS] Oh, my God.
I asked her to move in with me
this morning.
Cameron, the men who grabbed her
were willing to kill to get her.
There must be a reason why.
I'm sure there is, but I have no idea.
Okay. We'll-we'll figure it out.
What do you know about her life?
What did she do for a living?
She
Uh, something in the travel industry?
Maybe. I-I Look, I don't really know.
She never said.
And you never asked?
Come on, man, that's first date stuff.
I I didn't want to pry.
What about family or friends?
Cameron, come on.
You were getting ready
to live with this girl
and you know nothing about her?
Look,
she didn't really talk about herself,
and in this city, to be honest,
I found that refreshing.
I-I know that she's from Tokyo
and that she loves me.
Okay, look, what about recently?
Did you notice any changes
in her personality?
Anything out of the ordinary?
No. I-I mean, the week
was totally normal.
Uh Well,
except we had our first fight,
which was weird
'cause Suki's normally so chill.
Okay, what happened?
What what was that about?
I posted a photo of us
on my social media. She told me
in the past not to, but I just wanted to
show her off a little.
Cameron, she's been living under
an assumed identity
this whole time, hiding.
Oh, my God.
It's my fault they found her, isn't it?
Um, please,
you have to get her back.
Hey, Bruce, good morning.
Have you seen the IG? She texted,
said she needed to see me,
but I can't find her.
Yeah, she got called over
to the mayor's office.
This whole thing
is blowing up pretty fast.
I'm sorry. What whole thing?
The Times called for a comment.
They're doing a big investigative
piece on corruption in this office.
Corruption? What corruption?
I mean, I thought the whole idea
of the inspector general's office
was to guard against corruption. What?
I'm just trying to figure out
if you're for real or not.
[SCOFFS] Of course I'm for real.
Why would you even say that?
You remember Zepp Construction.
They won the contract
to build the new LAPD
training facility.
Turns out they got the contract
not by bringing the best bid.
They bribed their way into the deal.
But we vetted Zepp Construction,
like we do every company
that gets a city contract.
How could this happen?
I'm sure that's what Mary
wants to talk to you about
since you're the one
who signed off on the deal.
What?
That's my signature, but I
There have been
so many contracts across my desk
the last six months,
but I always do my due diligence,
and I certainly didn't receive a bribe.
Bruce.
All right, Nichelle,
I believe you, okay?
I just don't know if the IG
will have that luxury,
especially with all the pressure
coming down from the mayor's office.
[SIGHS]
CABRERA: You really telling me
you'd rather eat pasta
with the old-timers
than kick the crap out of the LAFD
on the softball diamond?
Would I rather? No.
But I can't let Deacon down.
You'll find another pitcher, I promise.
Not one with the Victor Tan touch.
And what's the big deal
with this fundraiser anyway?
Like Deac said, it's a tradition,
goes back decades.
But it's so lame,
and this is the championship.
If we forfeit,
those fire jerks get bragging rights.
I mean, maybe we can just
give Deac the money
we would've spent at the fundraiser.
Uh
Suki's building's right up here.
Oh, you're police. Thank God.
Why? What's going on?
I was checking my mailbox,
and then I heard a woman scream
and then a-a loud bang.
- Which apartment?
- Oh, 308.
That's Suki's apartment.
- Get outside and stay there.
- Okay.
♪
Got a body.
Suki wasn't their end target.
They're after something else.
[THUD NEARBY]
LAPD!
Come out, nice and slow.
[WOMAN CRYING]
Thank goodness you're here.
I hid when they came in,
but I heard a shot.
You're safe now, ma'am.
Everything's all right.
Wh-Where's Miss Suki?
Can you tell us what happened?
Was there anything in that safe
besides those papers?
Yeah, um, a phone.
Why would they want a phone?
Uh, the men forced Miss Suki
to make a call to someone.
- Do you know who she called?
- No. Just It was a man.
- Did you hear what was said?
- Some of it.
Suki told the man on the other end
to meet her at
the Hollywood Cemetery. 1:30.
It's a trap.
He could be walking into an execution.
And it's about to go down.

30-David.
Suspects are leaving
the Hollywood Cemetery
in a blue panel van.
Heading east on Santa Monica Boulevard.
- Couldn't get a plate.
- Damn it.
POWELL: Tried to get his statement.
Our guy had very little to say.
Claims he has no idea
why he was targeted.
No, I don't believe that
for a second. He's lying.
POWELL: It's not his only lie.
His ID says his name is Timoki Kaito.
He's a groundskeeper
at Mission Botanical Gardens.
Alfaro ran a check.
Groundskeeper, only part of
that story that's true.
So Timoki's not his real name.
Yeah, a bogus ID,
same as their first target, Suki Ito.
The yakuza abducted and killed
Suki in order to get to this guy.
There's not a chance in hell
he doesn't know what this is about.
HICKS: Hondo.
If you're looking for answers,
you came to the wrong place.
Well, I might have
a small piece of the puzzle.
Just heard back from Tokyo PD.
The first victim, Suki Ito,
her real name is Kimiko Ado.
According to Tokyo,
she was the stateside end
of a Japan-based
"Night Moving" operation.
"Night Moving"?
It's a private service that can
disappear you for a price.
Whether you're running
from an unhappy marriage,
major debt, you can get a whole new life
- and vanish the old one.
- Like a designer
witness protection program.
Apparently it's not
that uncommon in Japan.
Suki, or Kimiko,
was the U.S. side.
She'd help relocate clients
in the States,
set them up with new identities.
So our guy probably used her services
to flee Japan and start
a new life here in L.A.
Except whatever he was running from
caught up with him in a big way.
Timoki Kaito.
[SCOFFS]
I'm only calling you that because
I don't know your real name.
It's time to come clean.
Tell me what this is all about.
I'm afraid I have no idea.
So, the four men that were here,
the members of
the Yami-Yami clan in Tokyo,
yakuza killers
Doesn't mean anything to you?
I'm trying to help you.
I did not ask for your help.
Whatever you're in the middle of here,
innocent people have been
hurt and killed.
If you don't start talking
and help us get these guys,
you share the blame.
The blame is on the young thugs
doing the killing.
They have no honor.
They abide by no code.
And you have a code?
People have died.
You know more than you're telling me.
Where's the honor in that?
You know nothing about me.
I know about the woman who
got you out of Japan, Suki Ito.
I know that she called you
and lured you here.
Do you think that she made that
call without a gun to her head?
- Suki is dead?
- Yeah.
So how about you tell me
what the hell is going on
before more people die?
- If we are done here
- We're not.
I've done nothing. You cannot hold me.
Well, you're wrong.
Until we can confirm who you really are,
you're mine.
You're coming to HQ with me.
♪
DEACON:
Hey, Stevens. Do me a favor.
Put this guy in the interview room.
- Sit on him till I get there.
- You got it, Deac.
He won't be going anywhere.
Hmm.
Still not seeing your names on here.
Yeah, thought we covered that
this morning.
We kind of have other plans.
Oh, right, the, uh,
the softball championship.
Oh, yeah. LAPD versus LAFD.
You know how deep that rivalry goes.
There must've been
a misunderstanding earlier.
SWAT Pasta Night
is a 50-year-old tradition,
and you know how deep
tradition goes around here.
Now, I've been trying not
to use the word "mandatory."
And we've been trying
not to use the word "lame,"
but come on, Deac. Pasta?
Bunch of old-timers
yammering about the old days?
I just don't know what other
word to use to describe it.
It's just the four of us.
No one's even gonna notice
we're not there.
We don't want to
leave our team shorthanded.
Okay, okay. How-how about this?
How about we take the softball game
completely out of the equation?
You're either at the
fundraiser that night,
or you're next door in the
armory doing ammo inventory.
I'll leave it entirely up to you.
Um
[SIGHS]
Baby, hey.
I got your text. What's wrong?
I'm sorry to bug you.
I know how busy you are.
It's just, I think I messed up at work.
The text at breakfast.
That's what the IG wanted
to see you about?
I haven't seen her yet.
She got called out of the office.
Well, then maybe it's no big deal.
No, it's a very big deal.
The L.A. Times is investigating
how a corrupt company bribed
its way into a city contract.
How does that have
anything to do with you?
It's my signature on the approval.
Okay. Nichelle, there's
got to be some mistake.
That's what I thought, too.
That's my signature, clear as day.
Do you have any idea what this means?
What happens to the community
center when this comes out?
And the C.O.P.E. program?
We survive on grants and-and donations.
That'll all go away if my name
gets tied up in a bribery scandal.
Hey, slow down, slow down.
We both know you weren't a part
of taking any bribe.
Of course not. But that's my signature.
What conclusion do you think
the Times is gonna draw?
I don't know how this happened.
I mean, I'm usually so careful,
but a hundred pieces of paper
come across my desk.
And-and it was only a few months
after Vivie was born.
Maybe I just had baby brain.
Hmm.
I think you might still have baby brain.
Look again at the contract.
Not your signature. The date.
Oh, my God.
That was the day
of Vivienne's Christening.
- And the day I proposed to you.
- [SIGHS]
Then how did my signature
get on that contract?
All right, update me.
Looks like the Night Moving operation
Suki was involved with
brought in 16 people
over the last four years,
all of them given new lives
and new identities.
Most of them moved on,
out of Los Angeles.
We're trying to run down
their current info,
get them into protection if necessary.
For my money, we lean into Timoki.
Have we reached out to Tokyo PD
for help in finding out
who he really is?
I just got off the phone
with Detective Nozawa.
He's personally doing
everything he can to rush it.
In the meantime,
he sent us more on our yakuza hitmen.
CABRERA: This is their boss,
the oyabun of the Yami-Yami clan,
Orochi Mara.
He's part of the new generation.
Has ushered in violence
like Tokyo's never seen.
Gunfights on the street,
massive drug operations.
Well, for whatever reason
he wants Timoki Kaito dead.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Thanks, Stevens.
No problem. Not like
he talked my ear off.
What you said, back in the cemetery
I want you to know
that I am a man of honor,
that I have lived my life
abiding by a strict code.
It's important to you that I know that?
Yes. Even if you know
nothing else about me.
[SCOFFS] Even if I wanted
to believe you,
it's tough to reconcile,
given your current situation.
How does a man of code and
honor get in this kind of trouble?
Because the new generation
does not live by the same standards.
Those men from the cemetery,
and all the others like them,
they have chosen to take the easy way,
fueled by greed and corruption.
You see,
that's a hard one to swallow because
you had yourself vanished out of Japan.
You've been hiding here in L.A.
From what? I mean, debt?
Do you owe the Yami-Yami clan money?
- What?
- No.
Well, you had to have
screwed up somewhere
to leave your entire life behind.
I have made mistakes in my past.
Many.
But what I did that brings me
to this moment,
that was no mistake.
[ALERT CHIMES]
It's our BOLO on the gunmen.
Three men matching their descriptions
just hit the Mission Botanical Gardens.
That's where Timoki works.
Yeah, they stormed the work office,
took Timoki's personnel file
- and ransacked his locker.
- Better let Deacon know.
Might be something he can use.
You still haven't told me anything
to help end this violence.
But I'm starting to think
that's by design.
[PHONE BUZZING]
What is it?
That concerns me?
The yakuza who are after you
just hit up your workplace.
The gardens
Listen, thankfully no one was killed,
but they did ransack your locker.
- What are they looking for?
- I need to go. I need to leave, now.
Hey, I told you, you're not going
anywhere until I get some answers.
There's no time. You don't understand.
Sit down!
- Commander, what's going on?
- Deacon's in with Timoki.
We just heard back from Tokyo PD.
Timoki's no gardener.
He's former yakuza. He's a killer.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Get your ass back in that chair.
I'm sorry. I cannot.

We got a rabbit in the building!

[PHONE RINGING]
Who's Nami?
Please. I must answer.
Go.
[WOMAN CRYING OVER PHONE] Nami!
They have Nami and Sogo.
They have my family.
♪
I take it these are the victims?
Nami Mora and her son Sogo.
They were grabbed at Sogo's
school during afternoon pickup.
Timoki called them his family,
but school records don't list Timoki
as Sogo's father or as Nami's husband.
Here's something that will
surprise absolutely no one.
Nami Mora's ID doesn't check out.
It's bogus, just like the others.
Probably another person who
was disappeared from Japan
by Suki's Night Moving service.
Timoki, he was an enforcer
for the Yami-Yami crime family.
The same clan that's now
hell-bent on finding him.
What's the theory? That he stole
from them and fled the country?
Your guess is as good as mine.
But this man's been in the U.S.
for almost six years.
So whatever his offense back in Japan
it ain't been forgotten.
HONDO: Look,
we know the timid gardener act
is just a cover.
You are a killer.
And a former enforcer for
the Yami-Yami crime family.
DEACON: Timoki, it's obvious you care
for Nami and Sogo.
But right now, the only way
to help them is to trust us.
I was an enforcer, yes, but
that was a lifetime ago.
There were rules
yakuza swore to and lived by.
The foremost, to never
harm the innocent.
But then Orochi took over
as head of Yami-Yami.
The new generation.
They reject the old ways,
prizing money and power over everything.
Shortly after Orochi
became the oyabun,
he ordered me to kill
the witness to a murder.
The witness was a woman,
many months pregnant.
I am not free of sin, but the code
the honor we talked about,
would not let me take her life.
And the pregnant woman
you didn't kill
was Nami?
And the child is Sogo, her son.
Knowing that your boss,
Orochi, would just send
another killer to finish the job,
you found a Night Mover,
to vanish you and Nami out of Japan.
I have committed the greatest
betrayal in Orochi's eyes.
He does not like loose ends
or to look weak.
My disobedience achieved both,
and as a result, Nami and Sogo's lives
are at risk.
And you feel responsible.
Orochi was my shatei.
I was his mentor.
He mocked the old ways,
so I corrected him with force.
I was hard on him, brutal.
And that only made him more resentful.
Maybe if I had
schooled him differently
[PHONE RINGING]
It's them.
I am to surrender to them.
Alameda Square in 30 minutes time.
Me for Nami and Sogo's freedom.
[HICKS SIGHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
Tell me you got a trace on that call.
HICKS: No. It wasn't long enough.
DEACON: Hold on.
There's an Asian American
Unity Festival in Alameda Square today.
That's probably why they chose it.
Gives them plenty
of civilians for cover.
We don't have time for a planned op.
You're gonna have to go in blind.
Sir, if we're gonna save
this woman and her child,
we got no choice.

Gonna be tough in this crowd though.

ALFARO [OVER COMMS]:
Nothing on my end, Hondo.
CABRERA [OVER COMMS]:
No sign of our suspects.
If they make it out of this,
what will happen to Nami and Sogo?
No promises,
but given their situation back in Tokyo,
they've got a strong case for asylum.
I don't know if I can say
as much for your fate, though.
No matter.
It is only Nami and Sogo
that I care about.
I swore to keep them safe.
That is my ikiagi, my purpose.
Well, right now, that's
SWAT's purpose as well.
HONDO: 20-David.
I got eyes on Nami and Sogo,

northeast side of the stage.
Roger that.

but stay out of sight.

I repeat. I've lost sight of Timoki!
[PEOPLE SCREAMING, CLAMORING]
Timoki's being taken
to the north parking garage
by two yakuza.
HONDO: Nami and Sogo are cornered
by another one at the food stands.
POWELL: Tan and I have eyes on Nami
with one of the suspects.
Moving in.
All right, Deac and I got Timoki.
[GRUNTING]
Don't move!
25-David. One suspect in custody.
Sogo! Sogo!
Sogo!
POWELL: You're both safe now.
[GRUNTS]
LAPD! Drop the weapon!
[GRUNTING]
Timoki, no!
[ENGINE STARTS, TIRES SQUEAL]
Deacon, get Timoki. I got the van.
[SHOUTS IN JAPANESE]
Timoki, drop the gun!
This will not stop.
He's a bad man.
He deserves to be punished.
Yes, and we can use him
to take down Orochi.
And keep Nami and Sogo safe.
But not if you go down
this road. Drop the gun!
DEACON: Timoki!
Where is the honor in shooting
an unarmed enemy?
Put your hands in the air.
Put your hands in the air! Turn around.
Put your hands behind your head.
[GRUNTING]
[FLEX-CUFF TIGHTENS]
Nice try.
30-David.
We're code four.
Final suspect in custody.
DEACON:
You're doing the right thing,
testifying against Orochi back in Japan.
Maybe I can finally help
bring him to justice.
Fix what I have caused.
Maybe that's your new ikiagi.
May I say goodbye?
Sure. Go ahead.
- Sogo.
- Tim!
[SIGHS] This might be the last
time they see each other.
I mean, even with his testimony,
Timoki's still doing time
for his past crimes.
DEACON: Well, he saved Nami and her son.
I don't think he cares
what happens next.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Nichelle.
Uh, you're still here.
Yeah. It, uh, turned into one
of my busier days actually.
Researching Zepp Construction.
Then a lengthy meeting with the boss.
And, uh, just now,
a phone call with the Times.
Well, I'm glad I ran into you.
I was afraid I might not get
a chance to say goodbye.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Look, Bruce, you can drop the act.
I know what you did.
What're you talking about?
You were the one who took the bribe
from Zepp Construction,
and then you tried to throw me
under the bus to cover your tracks.
That's insane.
Is that your way of getting out of this?
You're gonna blame me?
It's your signature.
Yeah, except there's no way
I could've signed it
on the day it's dated.
I wasn't here.
Luckily, my husband reminded me
that I was at my baby's Christening.
It was the day he proposed to me.
So what makes you think it was me?
There are a lot of people
in this office.
But none of them
were fraternity brothers
with the CFO of Zepp Construction.
That's just a coincidence.
Maybe.
But that's not for me to decide.
It's in the IG's hands now.
I gave everything I found to her.
- Nichelle
- Have a nice day, Bruce.
Man, this is total BS.
Deacon should've just said
from the beginning
that we didn't have a choice.
So what now, we're gonna
have to forfeit the game?
You know we're never gonna hear
the end of it from Fire.
Not to mention our own team.
Deac, hey.
We're all signed up for the pasta night.
Yeah, I saw that.
Listen.
Something Timoki said
got me thinking.
Maybe forcing the fundraiser
on you isn't the way to go.
Are you serious?
So, what, we're off the hook?
DEACON: Well, not exactly.
What if we combine the two events?
Your game's at Valley Glen, right?
There's that picnic area
right next to the field.
Yeah, it's huge, and it's
covered. Be plenty of room.
All right, if we move pasta night there,
we still get to have the fundraiser,
you still play your game,
and you get all of SWA
out there cheering for you.
We could even donate some of the
ticket proceeds to the program.
- That doesn't sound half bad.
- Well, you just better win.
'Cause if you think Fire'll be brutal,
imagine the crap you'll get from a bunch
of SWAT old-timers
if they have to watch you lose.
[LAUGHTER]
Look at that.
We are on.
[SIGHS]
Hey, baby.
Hey.
Vivie still with your parents?
Yeah, they figured we
could use the night off.
[CHUCKLES]
Your day get any better after I saw you?
No, actually it got worse
if you can believe it, but
we did save a mother and her child,
so it made it all worth it.
[BEEPING]
How'd the rest of your day go?
Did you get things sorted out at work?
I handled it.
You would have been so proud of me.
Come on now, I'm always proud of you.
I still can't believe
I didn't catch the date
on that contract. I mean,
it is a pretty important date.
It's the day that you agreed
to become my wife.
- Mm.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Speaking of.
- Hmm?
- What kind of honeymoon
are you feeling,
something warm and sandy?
Or maybe mountain cabin-y?
I am happy wherever we go
as long as I'm with you.
But right now, I need to take a shower.
Mm, if you get it nice and steamy,
maybe I'll come and join you.
Mm, you ain't got to tell me twice.
