Royal Pains s06e03 Episode Script

A Bridge Not Quite Far Enough

Previously on Royal Pains It won't be long before I have to worry about baby proofing.
Sorry, Jeremiah! So this place is quiet in the afternoon? Yeah, between 3:00 and 5:00 P.
M.
, it's a total graveyard.
Who were you looking for today in Shadow Pond? - I was looking for my father.
- Well, who is your father? What I'm about to say is gonna sound crazy, and there's really no way to couch it - Already bored.
- We have a sister.
No offense or anything, but you just kind of showed up out of nowhere, so why should we believe you? I have DNA proof.
We haven't been introduced.
Eddie R.
Lawson I'm Hank and Evan's dad.
I'm Emma Your daughter.
Pop? Emma? I don't hear any screaming.
Yeah.
I don't hear anything.
Dad? Oh.
Pops Did you not hear Pops? You all right? Dad Did you and Emma have a chance to talk it through? I would like you boys to hear it from me.
Okay, so this whole thing started about a month ago.
I was in Missouri.
I was on the book tour, and out of the blue, Meredith sends me a text.
Meredith, it's me again.
I-I-I've been here for about an hour.
I've got to go.
I've got a book signing.
I-I don't know what happened.
I hope you're okay, and I hope you've changed as much as I have.
Okay, bye.
Meredith was never gonna meet me.
She didn't even know I was in town.
- More coffee, sir? - Uh, no.
- Just the check.
- Okay.
Thank you.
It turns out that Emma was the one who sent me the text.
She knew I was in town and wanted to confirm that I was her father.
Okay, so she collected some DNA.
She stole his saliva.
Okay.
Dad, where is Emma? That's a whole other story.
What is this? It's proof that you're my father.
Let me get this straight.
You traveled halfway across the country in order to give me two pieces of paper? Those aren't just two pieces of paper.
Those are the lab results from a genetic test.
I mean, don't worry.
I don't want anything from you.
I just came here because I wanted you to see for yourself that I am doing just fine.
I have a job.
I have my own apartment.
And guess what? I did all of that without you.
You don't believe me.
You know what? Of course you don't believe me because you are a deadbeat dad.
You abandoned me then.
Why not abandon me now? Abandoned you? I didn't even know you existed! And let me tell you something else, young lady I am not a deadbeat dad! So, dad, technically, you could be Emma's father.
Technically, the report says there is a 99.
99% probability of inclusion.
But I am telling you now I did not know about Emma until tonight.
I knew nothing.
I believe you, dad.
I do.
So do I.
Boys I handled this horribly.
I mean, I just couldn't bear the idea that I abandoned a third child when they were growing up.
I mean, what kind of man does that? And then Emma She travels all this way, and what do I do? I doubt her.
No wonder she never wants to see me again.
I am a deadbeat dad.
Here's where we keep the extra bottles, - pacifiers, and teethers.
- Yes, I know.
And the bib and burp cloths are stored beneath - the sterilizer.
- Yes, I know.
Now, uh, the bottle warmers The bottle warmers are One here in the kitchen and the other in the nursery.
I remember from our practice rounds.
Right.
I'm stalling, aren't I? I'm sorry.
It's my first day back at work full-time, and I'm a bit nervous.
Of course you're nervous.
You don't want to leave your baby.
If you like, I can make sure Sashi naps early.
That way, she's wide awake and ready to play when you come home.
Jeremiah You remember Tilda.
Yes, the new nanny.
Hello.
Good morning, Dr.
Sacani.
It's nice to see you again.
If you and Ms.
Katdare know what you'd like for dinner tonight, - I can go ahead and make someth - Oh, no, nothing for me.
I could be busy, and there might be traffic, uh, but thank you.
Good-bye.
Okay, good-bye.
See you tonight.
Well, I should I should probably leave too.
Come on.
Yay! - There you go.
- Thank you.
Okay.
Hey, Boris, just following up.
I assume you still want me in Monte Carlo for the next phase of the trial and that you will let me know if you don't.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Yep.
- Oh, nice.
No, no, no, no.
That that's for dad.
I came over to make him breakfast.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Dad will definitely eat all two dozen muffins.
- Well, he's gonna - Mmm.
That is good.
I'm glad you like it.
That's mine.
That's There's a lot of muffins, Evan.
What can I say? I worry, I bake.
- How is he? - He's still sleeping, I hope.
He was up most of the night pacing.
Well, I can't really blame him.
This is a mess.
Look, I'm worried too, but right now we need to just stay out of it.
What do you mean, stay out of it? He's devastated.
W-we have to do something.
That something is nothing.
We need to give Emma the time and space to cool down.
It's what I do with you.
Okay, look, I may have mixed feelings about her, but Paige reminded me who I am in this family.
- Who are you? - I'm the bridge-builder.
You're an accountant, not an engineer.
No, between people.
I-I-I help people.
I helped you and dad.
Technically, you went behind my back, allowed dad to take our money, and almost ruined our business.
Wow.
You're still holding on to that, huh? Okay, you know what? I have a busy day ahead of me.
You know how I feel.
Just promise me this: For Emma's sake, you won't let dad do anything stupid? Promise me.
- I promise you.
- Thank you.
- Hello! - That's not funny.
What are you doing? I thought you were sleeping.
Well, I was taking a walk, thinking.
And successfully knocking over milk bottles at a carnival, I see.
- It's for Emma.
- Oh.
Dad, you can't give that to Emma.
She's a grown woman.
Yeah, one who grew up without a father.
Do you remember when I bought you and Hank some bears? You loved it.
What did you call yours? Pookie.
Right, and you slept with it every night.
Till he got completely worn out and we couldn't stitch him up anymore.
So you put him in the trash with crumpled crackers.
Yeah, I didn't want him to go hungry.
Well, now Emma's got a Pookie too.
Right.
Well, my bear was Pookie.
The only thing in the world better than one Pookie is two Pookies.
Would you drive me to Emma's motel? You uh, yeah.
Uh, I made all these muffins, dad.
- No time.
- Right.
Good morning, Evan.
What happened? How'd it go? Pookie is dead.
I'm sorry, dad.
So did she say where we were meeting her? Yes, in her office.
- Hank? - Oh, hey, Padma.
Hey, Hank.
Great to see you.
Yeah, it's great to see you too.
This is my P.
A.
, Divya Katdare Uh, we've met, actually.
Oh, ri of course you have, 'cause you guys the Oh, because we're both Indian women? Really, Hank? That's so inappropriate.
- Completely inappropriate.
- No, no, no, no.
No, I didn't I didn't mean that.
I mea I just meant that maybe at some point you Actually, we do know each other.
Our families have been friends for years.
- Oh, okay, then - I love doing that.
- People turn all kinds of red.
- You guys are really funny.
You're a great sport, Hank.
Thank you.
Sorry.
I got to run.
I don't want to be late for my lesson.
- Good to see you, Padma.
- You too.
Bye, guys.
Bye.
- All right, let's go.
- You're a good sport, Hank.
Well, thank you.
Yes, but it was still inappropriate.
Okay, I How inappropriate? I mean well, on a scale of one to ten? You haven't even spoken to Emma since last night? - No.
- Oh.
It's a tough situation and not just for Emma, for my dad too.
I completely understand.
I'm missing Sashi, and it's only been a few hours.
I can't even begin to imagine missing 18 years.
Listen, if you want to run home at any point, you just say the word.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Annie, you here? Come in.
Hi, Divya.
You must be Hank.
- I am.
Nice to meet you.
- You too.
I'm just gonna jump right in, if that's okay.
Oh, okay.
I've been nauseous and vomiting and really exhausted, and I'm not pregnant, so I don't know what's going on.
Well, sounds like it could be the flu.
- I'll get your vitals.
- We can also do a nasal swab.
Great, and if we could do that all at the same time, even better.
I don't mean to rush you, but No, it's okay.
We can see you're swamped.
I am an ex-smoker.
I have no tonsils, and I don't take any drugs, and I drink a lot of coffee Thank you.
I have one glass of Chardonnay every single day, and I have a clam allergy.
Anything more science-y than that you'll have to get it from my medical records, which I'll have forwarded to your office.
Uh, thank you.
Are you taking any over-the-counter meds? - Shh, shh, shh.
- I came to my office early.
- Now, let me see what I can move.
- And we're done.
Pack it all up.
Let's go.
Oh.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
This isn't your office? - No.
Let's go.
- Okay.
- Here we are no, no! - Oh.
- Not that door.
Back door.
- Okay.
All right.
And we're going out the back door.
Here we go.
Here we go.
What is happening? - Come on.
- Okay.
Okay, coming.
- What - Come on.
Hurry up.
Okay.
Okay.
- I'll be in touch.
- Great.
Bye.
What what was that? Well, that was a private investigator at work.
- What? - I told you.
I met Annie when I hired her to do a background check on my nanny.
- Uh, no, actually, you didn't.
- Oh, sorry.
I guess mommy brain? Are you saying you knew we'd be trespassing? Of course not.
I-I assumed that she had permission.
- Well, she didn't.
- Fore! Okay, come on.
Not a good spot.
Emma, sweetie Thank you so much for giving me a second chance.
I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you when you were growing up, but I'm gonna make it up to you.
By giving me a giant bear? You thought that would somehow make me say, "yippie! Now I'm not mad about you missing my childhood.
" Do you think that's what Emma felt? We don't know how she feels.
That's why we're doing this role-playing, dad, you know, to prepare you.
It's good.
You're doing great.
This is great.
You ready? You want to go back into it? Okay.
You know, Pookie was only an icebreaker, because I can't fix the past.
All I can do is be here for you now, which I will be.
I will not walk out on you.
That's great.
Aren't you walking out to go on another book tour in two days? - Uh - Yeah, that's what I thought.
It's okay.
Just take your time.
You know what? Take a deep breath.
Go easy on him.
- He's not as smart as you.
- Oh.
Good, good, good.
You better? Maybe I should just concentrate on the present, but then I-I can't deny the past because that would be insensitive.
Hey, kids, this is too stressful.
I am stressing out.
You know what? Let's take a little break.
- Yeah.
Let's take a break.
- Let's take a quick break.
Paige, can I-I talk to you for a second? - Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
You're doing great.
We'll be right back.
- I'll be right here.
- Good game.
We're upsetting him.
He's upset.
I think Hank is right.
I should stay out of it.
What? No, no, no, no, you cannot back out now, not when you're this close to building that bridge.
- Yeah, about that bridge - What's the problem? There are no problems.
I was a little annoyed when he insisted on naming her bear Pookie A bear which, by the way, was two feet taller than the one he gave me, but whatever.
You're jealous of Emma.
That's crazy.
What? You want to stay the baby in the family, but, Evan, babe, if you build this bridge, not only will you be the most awesome brother ever, you will also be the son who reunited a father and daughter.
I got it! I got it.
I know what to do.
Okay, I'm going to invite Emma to come with me on the book tour.
That way, she gets to see this beautiful country.
She'll get to know me.
I'll get to know her.
It'll be a crash course in father-daughter bonding.
That is a wonderful offer, and I think Emma will definitely go for it.
Well, she would go for it if she would hear it.
I'm afraid the next time I see her, she's gonna throw me in the hot tub.
- Dad? - Hmm? Leave it to us.
Martin, your blood pressure's perfect.
No lollipop? Oh.
- No, sorry.
- Great.
Boys, you're next.
Boys, you're next! It's time.
Divya's ready for you.
Thank you again for coming on such short notice.
It's our first summer here, and I've just been scrambling since we arrived.
Well, it's nice for me to meet another mum.
Oh, you have kids? Yes, I have a daughter, Sashi.
Uh, this is her five minutes ago.
My nanny sent it.
- Well, that was thoughtful.
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, your baby is adorable.
Does it look like she has a rash? What is that? Not an instagram filter on that? I can't tell.
Judd, Nelson, stop fighting.
It is time for your camp physicals.
We hate camp.
Yeah, we're not going to camp.
Yes, you are! Or mommy's gonna have a nervous breakdown.
- Leave that alone! - Boys! Leave the experiment alone.
Larkin's crazy for science.
Well, that's great.
Yeah, if you have everything she needs.
Like, this morning, it was just an empty plastic soda bottle, some toilet bowl cleaner, and aluminum foil.
Hmm.
Stop! Give it back to me! Boys! Stop torturing your sister! So is that bottle filled with the aluminum foil and the, uh, toilet bowl cleaner? - I don't know.
Probably.
- Put the bottle down now! It could All right, you kids are free to go.
Thank you to Divya.
Thank you to Divya.
And thank you for letting my nanny bring Sashi over.
I feel so much better about going to my next appointment.
Like I'd notice one more kid in this house.
Hi, Ms.
Katdare! - Hey, Tilda! - Oh.
I remember my first child and my first day away from him.
Oh, the guilt was overwhelming.
I was miserable.
I feel like I've been split in two now, with the one half of me wanting my baby and the other half wanting to be at work.
Please tell me that it will get easier.
It will get different.
Being a mom is a It's a permanent state of pins and needles.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I got your text.
Is everything okay? Yes.
In one of the photos, it looked like she's getting a rash.
Are you worried about allergies? I was, but Sashi's fine.
Although, clearly, I am suffering from separation anxiety.
Tilda, I'm so sorry to have made you rush over here for nothing.
Part of my job is to ease your mind.
Why don't you just relax? Just come inside whenever you're ready.
Okay.
Hi.
- Can I get you some iced tea? - Hi, yes.
That's my nose.
Yes.
You think she's after their saliva too? Uh I think they're probably after hers.
Uh, how much can I bet? It's no-limit, so you can bet anything you want, - but I would probably - Hey, guys.
How's it going over here? Hey, do you want to learn how to play Texas Hold'em with me? No.
No.
We don't want anyone holding anything, actually.
This is my sister.
Yeah.
So why don't you guys take a walk - Right now? - It's cool.
See you tonight, Emma.
- Oh, I ca - What's tonight? Some parties.
I can't.
I have to work.
Sorry.
Yeah, she has to work.
She has to work all week, actually, so That's enough, big brother.
- If you're here to defend - Look, he's a good man, Emma.
He has a really big heart.
It's almost as big as that ridiculous pink bear he gave you.
He's handled this situation really badly so far, but He wants to make it up to you.
I hope you'll let him.
We hope you'll let him, right? Emma, he really didn't know about you.
I know.
I called my mom last night, and when I told her that I had met Eddie, she admitted that he never knew about me.
I'm really sorry.
I know what it's like to, um, have a complicated mother.
You know, none of this turned out like I expected.
But now that you know the truth about him, I'm sure you must have questions? So why not hear him out and just get some answers? Two brothers are enough.
I am done.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I-I have to take this.
It's Russel.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Hi.
How are you? Are you still in the city? Emma, can I ask you something? Psst.
- Annie? - Don't say my name.
I didn't recognize you with the whole That's the point.
Sit down.
Oh, what's it Oh, we're on a stakeout? - Yes.
- Okay.
Is that the guy from the golf club? - Don't point.
- Right.
Arnold Pritchard, yes.
He's not with his wife.
I'm trying to document his extramarital affair.
He's supposed to be at a "board meeting" right now.
Later on, he'll go to a "doctor's appointment.
" After that, he'll go see his "elderly father.
" Well, I guess the good news is you'll have plenty of time to search his office again.
- Should we reschedule? - No.
I'm so sorry, and I really owe you an apology for the other day.
I never meant to meet you there.
It's just that when Divya called and said you had a last-minute cancellation, I-I just couldn't say no.
Yeah, I'm sure you also didn't expect Mr.
Pritchard to return.
Oops.
This job's just really important.
All right, apology accepted.
In fact, I'm hoping you can help me.
Oh, I'm listening.
Yeah, a few days ago, I found out I have an Her name is Emma Miller.
- She's from Missouri.
- Let me guess she just showed up out of the blue.
Yeah, she did, and she keeps changing her story.
I can run a background check.
If you wouldn't mind, that would be great.
It's no problem Unlike my nausea, which has gotten so much worse, and now I have this strange pain right - Okay, do you feel feverish? - I feel like I'm gonna be sick.
Is it some kind of a super bug? No, the swab came back negative, but you're definitely running a fever.
Listen, Annie, you shouldn't be on a stakeout.
You need to rest.
But, look, she just drew him some kind of a map.
To where her place? I-I-I think I'm gonna be - Are you - Sick.
You just you watch.
Okay.
All right.
Hi.
Um, these weren't on yesterday.
Would you like me to turn them off? Yes, thank you.
Customer's always right.
Hi.
I'm Viviana.
- What can I get for you today? - Uh, water, please, No ice.
Water.
Anything else? Uh, yes, the wi-fi password, please? That's all Just water and wi-fi? Yes.
Did I miss anything? Yeah, you did.
He gave her an envelope.
I think it was filled with cash.
Uh, look, I need to draw some blood and perform an ultrasound and a barium swallow.
- Uh-oh.
- What is it.
PDA? No, CPR.
Are you doing that too hard? Okay, someone call 911.
Stop, stop.
I don't think he's having a heart attack.
But he looks so white and and and heavy.
Yeah, but he's not heaving for air or making any noise.
No air sounds on one side.
The CPR must have broken a rib, which collapsed his lung.
It's a pneumothorax.
I was trying to help him.
Okay.
No rush of air.
He's still not breathing.
Maybe I was right.
No, no, no, the needle isn't long enough to reach his pleural cavity.
But this might be.
Huh.
That's a pen from my golf club.
Uh, would you grab me that Martini glass? Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Okay.
Thank you.
Ah.
Ah! Rush of air.
Okay, the lung has re-expanded.
Sir, we're gonna get you to the hospital, but you'll be okay.
Hey, you belong to my club.
Oh, uh, no, I just I go running there sometimes.
I'm sorry, but I-I have to go.
I have another client.
I'll see you later - At Little Dune.
- Okay.
Oh, boy.
You know what? She's not coming.
She's changed her mind.
Dad, don't worry.
She'll be here.
- She had second thoughts.
- No.
No.
Oh, there she is.
Emma! See? Nothing to worry about.
I am so glad to see you.
I was getting a little worried.
And I was having second thoughts.
Well, uh, he's bear-free this time, so Phew.
What is this for? We're going for a bike ride.
Does does that sound okay? If it's not, we'll do something else.
- I'll do anything you want.
- No.
No, no, no.
I mean, it's not that I don't want to go for a bike ride with you guys.
I just don't I just don't know how.
She doesn't know how.
Um What if Eddie taught you? Yeah! I taught Evan.
I taught Hank.
- I'm gonna teach you.
- He's a great teacher.
- Come on.
- Okay.
We're going for a bike ride.
Look, you can have a white one, an orange one.
Oh, my God! I'm riding a bike! Look at you, miss wonderful! Oh, my God.
Just don't let go, okay? Well, I did that about two seconds ago.
- Wait.
What? - You're on your own! You're fabulous! - Oh, my God.
- Watch out! Watch out! - Oh! Oh, no! - Sorry.
Use your brake! Use your brake! Emma Come here, honey.
Are you all right? - Yeah.
- All right.
Oh I rode a bike! Well, I mean, I kind of rode a bike.
Not kind of.
You were perfect.
The bike was defective.
Bad bike! - I can take care of this.
- Ooh.
My son's a doctor.
Well, you did it.
I knew you would.
We should have done this a long time ago.
All right.
Whatever you said worked.
Yeah.
Are you sure I can't get you anything else? Are you sure you don't want anything else? Oh, no.
I'm I'm fine.
Thanks.
Tell me When when you're at a grocery store, do you buy groceries? - I do, yes.
- Cool.
When you're at a gas station, do you get gas? Yes.
So then why is it that you're in a restaurant and you would not order food? I mean, if you're not hungry, perhaps Oh, fine.
Uh, what do you recommend? From here? Ooh, not much.
The turkey club isn't bad.
Oh, I'll I'll have that, then.
Yeah? Okay.
- On wheat? - Uh, whatever you suggest.
Okay, one turkey club on wheat with just a touch of mustard.
- Is that how you like it? - Yeah, that's how I like it.
Okay, I-I hope you enjoy it.
- The sandwich is for me? - Yes.
Um, now, uh, if you don't mind Sure.
The customer's always right.
Take another sip.
Great.
So, Annie, the ultrasound showed that your appendix and gallbladder were all clear.
This stuff tastes like death.
Right, but this barium swallow will allow us to check your esophagus and stomach for any obstruction so you can avoid death.
Annie, we still haven't received your medical records.
Would you mind calling your previous doctor to see if they can send them now? That's weird.
The office said they would send them over this morning.
- I can check again.
- Thank you.
- Ah, I have to go.
- Uh, not quite yet.
Your esophagus looks good, but I'd still like to do a small-bowel follow-through.
Pritchard just arrived at a Montauk motel.
I'm guessing he's not alone.
Just another 15 minutes, okay? Thank you.
Jeremiah, hello.
You're working late.
I thought you'd be home with the baby.
Nanny Tilda is like a dream.
She's got Sashi at your home right now learning to play the drum.
Wow.
A drum.
That is like a dream.
Mm.
Are you going home soon? Because I was going to ask you - No, I'm not.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- Tell them.
- No.
- Come on, tell them! I'm not Look, we should No, I don't want to make it a big thing Evan built a bridge.
Eddie and Emma are finally talking, and they're gonna get together on their own tomorrow, and it's all because of Evan.
Wow.
Good for you, Ev.
Thanks.
- Hank? - Yeah? Annie's medical records just came through.
No wonder I couldn't find them before.
I know her as Annie Meadows, but these records are under a different last name.
Perhaps her maiden name? That's not her maiden name.
Annie? - Annie! - Where'd she go? Listen, do me a favor See if there's a hotel in Montauk called The Little Dune, okay? He's your husband, isn't he? The man you've been following.
So now you're a detective too? You and Arnold share the same last name Pritchard.
It was on the office door at the resort, and it was on your medical records.
I spent all this time perfecting my investigative techniques.
I never thought I'd need it on my own marriage.
I spent 12 years I-I was thinking we were so special.
And and then my intuition told me, "it's not just other wives," that I had fallen into the trap myself.
But now I'm gonna go confront him, but first, I'm just gonna lay down, or is it "lie down"? I'm never sure which Annie, Annie, we need to get you to the hospital.
- You're having a heart attack.
- I'm not having a heart attack.
I just can't can't breathe Here, I want you to chew this aspirin, and now I'm gonna put the nitroglycerine under your tongue.
Open.
Put your tongue back.
Good.
if we can increase the blood flow and get you to the hospital fast, the damage to your heart should still be reversible.
No, no, no.
I'm not having any chest pains.
Look, women typically have more subtle, non-classic symptoms like the ones you've been experiencing, and they can all be exacerbated by stress, which I now realize you have in spades.
So the angioplasty was a success.
You'll be on blood thinners for a while, and you'll follow up with a cardiologist, but you should be fine.
And all those flu-like symptoms? Were plaque filling the vessels of your heart.
And now my heart is filled with a different pain.
Before I forget, um, in my bag, there is a file I meant to give you earlier.
There it is, in my purse.
It's about your sister.
Ah, thank you very much.
Annie, are you okay? Oh, my God.
I've been so worried.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
I shouldn't be here.
Arnold was so upset when the hospital called that I insisted on driving him here.
I wanted to make sure you were okay.
Did I die? Am I in hell? Hey, I know you.
We met earlier.
Yes, uh, that's right.
We did, at the restaurant, but, Mr.
Pritchard, Annie's just been through a very serious procedure.
She needs to stay calm, relaxed Absolutely, but now that my wife's seen Kayla, I may as well tell her the truth.
Now's probably not the best time.
I found her online, saw her pictures, and I had to hire her.
- Oh, boy.
- Oh, my God! Kayla's a car customizer.
Huh.
Did not see that coming.
Annie fell in love with her designs at a car show last year.
Kroft car designs? You're Kayla Kroft? When Arnold found out I was visiting the Hamptons, he hired me to customize a new surveillance van for you.
Oh, it has a little kitchen and a bathroom and a massage chair.
It was being delivered to my motel when the hospital called.
I can't believe you did this.
I wanted to give you a one-of-a-kind anniversary gift, but I should have known.
I'm cursed to be married to a woman who's superb at her job.
She's impossible to surprise.
oh, I think you may have done it this time.
Hi, Judith.
My nanny up and quit on me, so I had to bring Sashi along for the follow-up.
Oh, I don't think we need one.
The kids are just fine.
You poached my nanny? Typical new-mom mistake Never introduce a great nanny to a desperate mother.
Don't worry.
You'll learn.
To quote him, "we democratized democracy, "but the rules of the economic game changed.
"It became more global.
We have downward pressure not only on the" Water.
Wi-fi.
Anything else? Um, the turkey club on whole wheat with just a touch of mustard.
You know, I think you want a burger today.
Oh, uh, yea I-I'll have the burger.
Medium-rare without the bun and extra pickles.
That is just how I want it.
That's just how you'll get it.
The bartender is always right.
Evan! Hank! There you are.
You are not gonna believe the extraordinary day I had today with Emma.
I learned so many things Big things, little things, crazy things.
Okay, I'll give you an example, all right? You know that I love bacon and peanut butter sandwiches.
Guess who loves bacon and peanut butter sandwiches.
- Emma.
- Emma probably.
Emma loves them! Okay, who's afraid of the ocean? I am.
So is she.
She can't even swim.
I'm telling you something People make fun of genetics.
There is something to it.
Okay, I know I'm not gonna make up for 18 years with one day, but it's a start.
Why the long faces? What's going on here? Uh, dad, you should You should probably sit down.
- All right, I'm sitting.
- Good.
Um, so the good news is that Emma is definitely your daughter.
Here is the not so good news.
No.
What did Meredith do? How did you even get this? Hank hired a P.
I.
To do a background check on Emma.
This is a big deal, you know.
I wanted to be thorough.
I wanted the facts, and now we have them.
So now that we have them, what are we gonna do? I just invited Emma to accompany me on a book tour, and she seemed pretty excited about coming along with me.
Yeah, about that We have a different idea.
I suppose I brought this on myself.
If I hadn't been so nervous about leaving Sashi, then I would have trusted Tilda.
Then she would have never met that nanny poacher! So now tomorrow I'll have to spend all day interviewing nannies.
The ironic part being that while I'll have 12 nannies in your kitchen, I'll have no one to watch over Sashi.
I could help with Sashi.
Really? I mean, that would be great.
Thank you.
Um, I do have somewhere I need to be between 3:00 and 5:00.
Hey, Jeremiah.
You would tell me if we had overstayed our welcome here, wouldn't you? You two could never overstay your welcome.
Everything's fine.
Sit down, kiddo.
Just tell me what's wrong.
We know you're 17, not 18.
We know you've run away from home.
Your mom's been looking for you.
We know that Meredith got into some gambling schemes and used you when you were ten to count cards for her.
Which is why you ended up in foster care for a few months.
Look, I don't know who told you these stories.
I The private investigator that I hired.
We know they're not stories.
The only thing we don't know is what got you so mad at your mother that it made you run away.
My mom and I only had one rule.
We could lie to the people who we were scamming, but with each other, we had to tell the truth.
When I found out that she had lied about you and that you were alive I had to find you Especially because I wanted to hurt her.
So you can, uh Pack me up and send me home now.
I don't think so.
We've called Meredith and told her about our new plan.
We want you to stay here for the summer.
You can move in with me and Evan.
Yeah, we figured you'd probably be sick of motel living by now.
So I'm gonna go on the book tour by myself, but I'm gonna come back and visit as often as I can.
And in the meantime, you can get to know the three of us.
I have been nothing but trouble.
Why do anything for me? Because we're your family.
You know, I-I think I do need to sit down.
Okay.
Come inside.
Everything worked out great.
Yeah.
Oh, you must be so relieved.
- I paid her.
- What? I-I That day before the bike ride.
You bribed her? No, I didn't bribe her.
It was She's living in a motel.
She's washing dishes, you know.
Things are expensive here, and I wanted to make sure she'd hang out with dad.
She did seem to warm up to him quickly.
- Oh, my God.
- No, Evan.
She's happy to be here, to be with all of us.
She wasn't looking to be bought.
Yeah, I was, uh I was trying to be a good brother.
Who cares deeply about his father.
I wanted to help him.
So, yeah, it was really important that Emma liked him Or at least give him a chance.
She was gonna leave.
Obviously, Eddie doesn't know.
But What about Hank? Have you told him? No, and I'm not going to.
So she's staying because of us? Or she's staying because of the money?
