00:00regularly lately. I'm much better since I stopped eating that junk they give you at the hospital.
00:06Low salt in my ass. Just another word for saying no flavor. But you do look better though. You know
00:13it's the fresh air. That hospital air is full of chemicals and germs. That's why everybody that
00:19stays there stays sick. Another few days of freedom and I'll be as good as new. And do you
00:28still feel safe at the underpass? Hey you over there. What are you still hungry? Do you want more?
00:36No just the check. Anyone save room for dessert? We're a couple of busy ladies. Got places to go
00:42and people to see. The check. I got this. But June. I insist. You've treated me far too many times.
00:58I'm glad to see you're keeping that picture safe. Those kids are just so adorable.
01:05Oh can I see? I'm such a suck of a baby. Hey hands off. I'm not paying you with this. It's much too
01:12valuable. There. And keep the change. You heard her. But June. I will be paying the tip.
01:23If you insist. Not that she deserves it with her pawing over other people's property like that.
01:38Hey. Thank you for taking me to lunch.
01:44It's the least I can do. Everything you've done for me.
01:47That's sweet of you, June. I just wish I could do more.
01:58Would you mind if I took another look at that picture again?
02:01Just keep it away from that grabby waitress. I think she had her eyes on me.
02:06Okay.
02:11You know it's weathered but you can still see how beautiful these kids are.
02:18I am so curious about this phone number though.
02:21It's nothing. I told you that.
02:23June, Naomi. Can we talk?
02:26I'm kind of in the middle of something, Hayley.
02:29Not with me.
02:30June, we're not done.
02:31I treated you to lunch. What more do you want from me?
02:37It's always fun hanging with your toots.
02:40But I'm due back to my own business.
02:47What is so important?
02:49Look, I'm sorry.
02:50I interrupted you and your
02:51friend.
02:53But I really want to ask you something.
02:56Okay. Will this take long?
02:57Because I'm expecting Jacob soon.
02:58Oh, then I'll hurry because what I have to say is not for a police officer's ears.
03:03Why?
03:04What have you done?
03:05Me?
03:06Nothing.
03:07But I'm worried that someone close to both of us may have done something criminal.
03:16Okay, so your question is my husband, your father.
03:23Tell me straight, Naomi.
03:25Did he kill somebody?
03:26Leslie had it coming.
03:30Nope. Agreed.
03:31I've never seen a face so suitable for slapping.
03:35Oh, I do have to admit, though, I wish I'd shown a little restraint, not gun for her throat
03:39in the middle of Orphe jeans.
03:41My demure older sister?
03:44Brawling in front of witnesses?
03:46Oh, how I wish I'd seen this side of you when we were growing up.
03:48This is not a side I am particularly proud of.
03:50I am?
03:51My refined sissy is much more like Scrapper Danny than anyone ever imagined.
03:56Oh, I hate being so volatile and emotional.
04:01I even laid into Bill last night, too.
04:03And I did not enjoy it.
04:05It's exhausting.
04:06You just need to build up your stamina.
04:08And tearing Bill a new one is a great way to do that.
04:10I should be using my energy on my son, not on Leslie.
04:13How is Martin?
04:17I would like to say, well, but this is so hard on him and his family.
04:22I'm meeting Samantha and Tyrell here.
04:24Just wanted to give them a little normal time with Grandma.
04:28They are very lucky to have a wonderful and exceptional grandma who always has time for them.
04:34You give me way too much credit.
04:35Not possible, sissy.
04:38We need to pre-stick together, huh?
04:42Always.
04:48I went to Eva's hotel room to tell her to get her half-baked mama to drop the charges against my mother.
04:55Imagine my surprise when I see Tomas there.
04:58Uh-oh.
04:59Were they...
05:00No.
05:01Hell no.
05:01But that doesn't mean it couldn't have gotten to that place.
05:05If I would have gotten there just ten minutes later, all bets would have been off.
05:10But that's all due to Eva's manipulations.
05:13Drawing him into her sticky little web.
05:17How did he explain being in her room?
05:19Something about wanting to borrow a book.
05:22I didn't stick around to hear the rest.
05:25So, what does this mean for you and Tomas?
05:28I mean, if he had a legit excuse for being there...
05:31I'm not sure.
05:33But I am not about to gift-wrap him and put him into Eva's hands.
05:38Bet.
05:38If you want him, he's yours.
05:40Okay, Eva, it's no match for you.
05:42Period.
05:42Period.
05:44That little witch needs to stop throning...
05:47And settle for someone in her own league.
05:54Yes.
05:54Can you come over?
05:57We obviously need to talk.
05:59I can only imagine how hard this must be for you lately.
06:10I just, I wanted to make sure that you knew how difficult this was for your pop as well.
06:15Martin feels awful that he's been out of the house.
06:18He thinks about you night and day.
06:19We all do.
06:21We miss him like crazy.
06:22Martin, this situation must be so confusing for you.
06:26And it must feel like the end of the world, but it isn't.
06:29You are both as dear to everyone as you were before all of this.
06:35If not more.
06:37The love will never change.
06:39Ever.
06:40I know you're right, Grandma.
06:41Dad tells us that all the time and Pop texts us the same thing.
06:45But we were thinking...
06:51Samantha.
06:52I wrote me one night.
06:53What is it?
06:55You can tell me anything and I'll help however I can.
06:58Great.
06:59Because we were hoping that you could maybe talk Dad into letting Pop move back home.
07:06Like today.
07:07Okay.
07:07Listen, I am just dying to find out what's been going on with Martin.
07:15I mean, after that abbreviated press conference, he couldn't get more attention if he tried.
07:19But then when they announced that it was due to a family emergency, I knew I had to check in with you.
07:24Is everything okay?
07:25You don't have to read so much into it, Pammy.
07:27You know how politicians have to talk in public.
07:29You can't just cut out on an event without a reason.
07:33Yes, I do know how politicians have to talk.
07:36I also know a Danny Dupree sidestep when I hear one.
07:39What did I just say about not reading too much into things, huh?
07:44Okay, all right.
07:46I can tell that you don't care to share and that's just fine.
07:49I know you well enough to not push.
07:53But you know me well enough to know that I will be here ready to listen when and if you are.
08:00Martin and Smitty are going through a very rough patch.
08:03I do believe they'll work it out.
08:06They love each other so very much.
08:09That doesn't go away just because your husband's disappointed you, much as you might wish it would sometimes.
08:16Danny.
08:18But they got the children to consider, right?
08:21Well, if anybody needs anything, you just say the word.
08:24If I told you lately what a wonderful BFF you are.
08:30That's only because you deserve the very best.
08:33Is this Dupree family check-in the reason you needed to see me right away?
08:38No.
08:40I have news.
08:43Good news, I hope?
08:46Only you can say.
08:47I wasn't expecting to see you, Chelsea.
08:49How's it going?
08:50I was on my way out, giving you two some privacy.
08:54Use it wisely.
09:00I hope I didn't interrupt, but you did call.
09:05That's right.
09:06I did.
09:08Half of me was surprised to hear from you.
09:11The other half was hoping to.
09:13Did either half think that maybe you should have been the first to call?
09:18I did, but the way we left it, I needed time to figure out what to say.
09:24The last thing I wanted was to make things worse by saying something I'd regret.
09:29A lawyer afraid to use his words?
09:33When there's a chance I can lose something I care about?
09:36Yes.
09:37I want to be up front and perfectly clear with you, Kat.
09:40I did not sleep with Eva.
09:42Not before you got to the hotel room and not after.
09:45I want to believe you, but I also know what I saw and the vibe I got.
09:51If there was something going on between you and Eva, do not insult my intelligence by denying it.
09:59And please don't try to get me to confess to something I didn't do.
10:03Do I like Eva?
10:05Do I think she's a good person who's stuck in a crappy situation between her mother and a family that she's sorry, but it's true, now a part of?
10:13Yes and yes.
10:14And I know I'm taking my life in my hands by saying this, but I don't think Eva's gotten a fair shake from your family.
10:21Do I really need to remind you that Viper in ugly boots took up space in my mother's home pretending to be her loyal assistant, all the while plotting to blow up my parents' lives?
10:34Honestly, Eva being a duplicitous schemer is not a surprise to me, but I expected more from you.
10:43So now it's time for me to be clear.
10:46You just said you like Eva without really elaborating what that means.
10:51I've got my pride, if that's who you want, now's the time to say so, and maybe I'll consider a friendship with you. Maybe.
11:04Eva's a friend. Full stop. That's what you walked in on at the hotel. Two friends supporting each other.
11:11So all you feel for her is friendship?
11:13Exactly.
11:15And what you feel for me is?
11:17What I feel for you has never been the question.
11:21Then what's the question?
11:23Your feelings for me, Kat.
11:33Excuse me? You don't understand my feelings?
11:37Honestly, no, I don't. I realize we're not exclusive, or at least we've never discussed it, but that doesn't mean I've always known where I stand with you.
11:46So, wasn't I the one who invited you over ready to take our relationship to the next step?
11:51And weren't you the one who got uncomfortable and walked out, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around, by the way?
11:57That makes two of us.
11:58What does that even mean?
12:00If you don't know why you left, I can't imagine who else does.
12:05It's like I didn't even matter.
12:08You went to Eva without ever asking what we were.
12:12It wasn't like that. We ran into each other at Orphegene's.
12:15And then you ended up in her hotel room.
12:17Well, I promise you, what happened wasn't about Eva, or at least not about me and Eva anyway.
12:24In English, please.
12:27Sometimes I wonder if you and I are together because you like me or because you think Eva does, and you're trying to stick it to her.
12:35Have we had this one before? I don't think I remember the vintage.
12:41Uh, yes. 2015.
12:44But do I need to drink this whole damn glass of wine before you explain to me what this is all about?
12:50Well, it's not as if we weren't going to drink the whole bottle anyway.
12:53Yes, but I will enjoy it much more when I know it's going on.
12:57Now stop drinking your courage and talk to me.
12:59Okay. Here it is.
13:00I've been taking certain calls and meetings lately.
13:06About our modeling agency?
13:08Without me?
13:09Well, not so much without you, but about you.
13:13And I was right.
13:15A Danny Dupree runway comeback is exactly what we need to get the industry's attention.
13:21I have got two major fashion houses ready to compete for an exclusive spokesmodel contract with you.
13:29And we are talking major bucks.
13:32Well, at least you decided to include me in the conversation about me.
13:37Are you interested in hearing the deets or not?
13:41If you have questions about my father and what he may or may not be involved in, why aren't you asking him instead of me?
13:51And what makes you think I would know about him?
13:52Because you are Bill's favorite and he respects you.
13:56So if something's going on, he'd confide in you.
13:59You really think he would confide in me over his own wife?
14:02Well, Bill has this tendency to want to protect me from things.
14:06And right now, I just want to know what's going on.
14:08What's making you suspicious about whatever this is?
14:11It couldn't have been something he said.
14:13Actually, it is.
14:15Nicole stormed in last night on a tear and it-
14:16Wait, hold on.
14:18Aunt Nicole stormed?
14:19I know, but not the point.
14:23She practically took his head off, accusing Bill or somebody of murder, or at least that's what it sounded like.
14:31And he all but marched me out of the room, but I could hear them yelling.
14:36Since then, it just feels like he's been avoiding me to keep me from having to ask what this is all about.
14:42So, what's going on, Naomi?
14:45Please, you have to tell me.
14:48Is my husband in some kind of trouble?
14:57Even if I did know something, I don't feel like it's my place to share it with you.
15:01But don't I have the right to know?
15:03That is not up to me.
15:05It's your marriage.
15:06And if your husband has something he thinks you should know, he'll tell you.
15:10But if you can't be open with each other, that's your problem, not mine.
15:16It's hard to believe we were ever friends.
15:21Agreed.
15:23I've felt the same way.
15:27My husband may be a ruthless lawyer and a hard-nosed businessman, but he is not a criminal.
15:35I refuse to believe that Bill may be involved in a murder.
15:38Believe what you want, Haley.
15:40You think you know my father, but you're barely scratching the surface.
15:45That man is complicated and only lets you see what he wants you to see.
15:50You are right about one thing, though.
15:52Aside from my mother, I know him better than anyone.
15:57And you could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out he dumped her for you.
16:02That man has layers buried so deep, and not all of them are pretty.
16:08What are you saying?
16:10That your father is a murderer?
16:13I'm saying what I've said from the beginning of this conversation.
16:17Ask him.
16:27I know you are anxious for your dad and pop to work through this and for them to reconcile.
16:34And we know that you can help with that.
16:36You said you would.
16:37I did.
16:38But sometimes help comes in different forms.
16:40Your parents need to work through this for themselves.
16:43Involving somebody else is not going to make the two of them get closer together.
16:47But Dad trusts you.
16:48He respects you.
16:49But he needs to trust your Pop.
16:52And right now that trust is under a lot of stress.
16:56I know that they told you what led up to this.
17:00We know Pop saved Grandad when the racists attacked them.
17:04And they didn't report to the police because they were scared they wouldn't be believed.
17:08And they didn't tell us because they thought we couldn't handle it.
17:12Right.
17:13So you see your parents have a lot to work through.
17:17Yes, but...
17:20But what?
17:22Is that the whole story?
17:24Because when Dad asked Pop to leave the house, Jacob showed up at the house three different times.
17:31It feels like they're leaving something out.
17:35And it feels like you are too, Grandma.
17:41Now, look, I know you have reservations about returning to the runway.
17:45I just decided to ignore them.
17:48More like I started cutting deals in my name.
17:50No, look, this isn't just about a comeback for Danny Dupree.
17:54This is about saving our brand new agency by proving that we can land big deals.
17:59And like it or not, you are a big deal.
18:03I haven't committed to anything yet.
18:05But look at these numbers.
18:07Seriously?
18:13Mm-hmm.
18:13No kidding.
18:15You just sign on the dotted line and the Dupree-Curtis Modeling Agency is back in the black baby.
18:21You just have to pick the number you like.
18:23I don't understand why these numbers are so high.
18:27False modesty does not become you.
18:29I'm not being humble.
18:31Seriously, believe me.
18:32I'm being honest.
18:35Pamela, I have a mirror.
18:38And I know that my face isn't what it used to be when I was in my prime.
18:42Neither is my body for that matter.
18:43Listen to me.
18:45You were, are, and will always be drop-dead gorgeous, even when you're in your coffin.
18:51But on a more practical note, these agencies want the woman that you are now.
18:59These offers are for clothing lines that feature sexy, mature women who are still glam and utterly gorge.
19:05It's perfect for you.
19:06I don't know.
19:09All right.
19:11Okay, fine.
19:12It is time for me to be brutally honest.
19:16You didn't quit modeling because of your age.
19:19You quit because you wanted a man who wanted you off the runway and on his arm.
19:25You loved him.
19:27I know.
19:28So you chose to put yourself second to Bill and his career.
19:34Well, it is time, my darling, for you to put yourself first.
19:38I hear you.
19:39Okay, good.
19:41Now I want to hear you saying yes.
19:45I just don't know.
19:46I figured you might be a little tentative about the idea.
19:49Thank you for understanding.
19:51Which is why I called for backup.
19:54Back up!
19:57Yeah, somebody mentioned a mini suit.
19:59You really think I'm that shallow?
20:04That I would try to get with a man just to keep another woman from having him?
20:09Look at it from my point of view.
20:11I would if it made any sense.
20:13More than once, I've tried to talk to you about us and our relationship, only to have you turn a conversation around and make it all about Eva, about Leslie, about you and your revenge.
20:23That's not the same as accusing me of wanting to be with you just to stick it to Eva.
20:30But, if I'm looking at it from your perspective.
20:34That's all I ask.
20:35Maybe I can see how it could appear that way.
20:40I know I tend to let my anger get the best of me when it comes to Eva, and maybe I use it as an excuse when it comes to you.
20:54And I guess it keeps me from saying the right things.
20:59Kat Richardson afraid to use her words.
21:03Ha ha ha.
21:03Look, I know I can be a handful, and with the Leslie situation blowing up, I've been more distracted than ever.
21:15But you make me feel a way that I've never felt before.
21:21And it's intense and wonderful and exciting and sometimes really, really scary.
21:29And maybe sometimes I don't handle things well.
21:35And I'm letting strong feelings from one thing run into another.
21:41But I'm just going to say it.
21:44I'm crazy about you.
21:47But as much as I care, and as much as I want this to work,
21:54I cannot be a point in a triangle with you and Eva.
21:58Kat, you are not a point.
22:02You are at the center of what I want.
22:05What I've always wanted.
22:07I felt something for you the moment I saw you across the room at Bill and Haley's wedding.
22:11A spark.
22:13Something real.
22:14And I've been chasing that feeling, whatever it is.
22:18Hoping that one day you'd see what I saw for us.
22:22Say it once more, then.
22:24Say it so I really hear it.
22:27I have a better idea.
22:29I'll show you.
22:30Now, babes, this isn't to pressure you.
22:50This is to remind you how good you are at this and how much you love doing it.
22:54I can't believe you want me to do this right here, right now.
22:57Well, if you can think of another time and place, perhaps yesterday would be good.
23:01But of course, there's that whole time only marches forward thing.
23:05So, maestro, do your thing.
23:08Okay.
23:09Danny, look, I'm here for you.
23:11Okay?
23:11This is all about you.
23:13So do whatever feels good.
23:14Whatever comes natural.
23:16All right?
23:16I got you.
23:18And you've got this.
23:22All right, let's do this.
23:23All right, now it's just you and me.
23:50The lights are low. You only got eyes from me.
23:52All right? Let's do it.
23:54Okay.
23:58Hey, babe.
23:59Hi.
24:01Sorry to keep you waiting, but I have some news.
24:05Relax. It's not about your cousin's case.
24:08I took that phone number from June's photo
24:10and had one of the department clerks run a reverse directory on it.
24:13You got an address?
24:14Yep. So what do you want to do?
24:16Send it to me. I should go there.
24:19Find out who this person is and what their relationship to June is.
24:22It's the only way to get to the bottom of this.
24:25What?
24:28Whoever was on the other end of that line
24:29clearly does not want to be disturbed.
24:32And I already know what you're going to say.
24:34How many times does the person have to hang up on me
24:36before I get the message? I know.
24:38All right. Look at it like this.
24:40June doesn't know that you tried to follow up on the number, right?
24:42She knows I was curious about it,
24:44but I didn't want to say anything before I had some answers.
24:47All right. Well, then you're off the hook.
24:49She's not expecting something,
24:50so she can't be disappointed if you don't deliver.
24:53So if you want an out, you've got it.
24:55But we both know
24:58the last thing Naomi Hawthorne ever looks for is an out.
25:02Honey, are you busy?
25:04No, I'm never too busy for you, baby.
25:05Is that true?
25:10How can you even ask?
25:12Well, you didn't want me to be a part of your fight with Nicole last night,
25:15so I went to Naomi to see if she could tell me what's going on.
25:20You went to my daughter?
25:23I know I shouldn't have,
25:25and she beat up on me to stop being a bystander to my own marriage
25:28and to ask you if I wanted to know something.
25:31So, I want to know something.
25:37Why, in God's name, was Nicole so mad at you?
25:41And how does murder fit into it?
25:44Because that much, I did hear.
25:46Oh, my God, Bill, murder?
25:49Was she saying that you knew about a murder, or...
25:52Or what?
25:52That I committed one?
25:55Look, I'm just asking.
26:01Nicole is in a very highly emotional state right now,
26:06understandably so, considering the circumstances.
26:08Now, out of respect for her,
26:11I have to keep certain details vague, okay?
26:16The murder, rather the unfortunate death that she mentioned,
26:20that took place two years ago, right?
26:24I only got involved after the fact.
26:27Just to do what I could to help.
26:28It was just a matter of self-defense, basically.
26:32Involving...
26:33So, you know about the press conference
26:35that I helped Martin with that got cut short?
26:37So, Martin is...
26:38Right, so, Martin...
26:40Martin felt that he needed to clarify something
26:45for the public about the event.
26:47But during the press conference,
26:48it turned out that a statement from Martin wasn't necessary.
26:51It's just as simple as that.
26:56It's not simple at all, is it?
26:59Look, Bill, I'm not accusing you of lying,
27:02but I can tell what you're telling me isn't the whole truth.
27:05Okay, baby, look.
27:09This really isn't my story, okay?
27:11I'm sharing with you what I can,
27:14but I can see that that might not be enough for you.
27:15No, no, actually, it's more than enough.
27:22I believe what you're saying,
27:24and I'm done with my questions,
27:25because I love you,
27:28and that's what matters, right?
27:30I hope you know that wasn't about sticking it to Eva.
27:50Right now, Eva's the last thing on my mind.
27:53That's good,
27:55because if you want me, you can have me.
27:58All of me.
27:59I've never wanted any woman more.
28:02Are you sure?
28:04Yeah.
28:06Are you?
28:07More than anything.
28:08All of me.
28:24I'm ready for what's next.
28:28I'm so on.
28:31It's so on.
28:33Day started and my makeup's done
28:38Coffee on the pot, I'm on the run
28:42It's so on
28:43Yeah, I'm so on
28:47It's so on
28:52I'm so on
28:53Yeah, it's so on
28:57You know, this address isn't that far
29:03I could be there within an hour
29:05All right, cool, I'll go with you
29:07Thank you, but I think I'll have a better chance
29:11of gaining the person's confidence if I go alone
29:13Come on, babe, it's not like I'm showing up
29:15in four uniform with the sirens blazing
29:17No, I know, I know, but I got this, okay?
29:20And I promise, for a sign of danger, I'll bring you in
29:23But it'll probably be nothing
29:24This is for June
29:28But if I'm honest
29:31It's for me, too
29:33I'm dying to know who these kids are
29:37Well?
29:42Damn woman
29:43Damn woman, indeed
29:44Well, I admit it was fun
29:47But playing around the living room
29:50is not the same as resuming a whole career
29:52I still have to think about this
29:54All right, you do that
29:56But look at the pictures first
29:58That will get you thinking in the right direction
30:00So we can get moving
30:01I'll show myself out
30:04Goodbye, darling
30:06She's right, you know
30:10You're magic
30:11And the camera loves you
30:12Look at this
30:13You think I should do this?
30:16I think that's your call
30:18But in the meantime
30:21These shots have my camera figure itching
30:25And since we're alone
30:27How about we have a intimate session?
30:30Andre Richardson
30:31Are you suggesting a nude photo shoot?
30:36Hey, you put me through my paces last time
30:38If I remember
30:39Turnabout's fair play
30:40When have I ever
30:44Played fair?
30:45I take it that's a yes
30:51I thought you'd never ask
30:55When Pop got home that night
31:13He spent a long time talking to Dad first
31:16Usually they loop us into discussions that are important to us
31:19But not this time
31:21Which makes me think
31:23There's more going on than they wanted to tell us
31:26When things are confusing
31:29The way they are now
31:30It's so easy to think that the important things are being kept from you
31:35Your parents love you so much
31:38Everything that they have said to you is out of that love
31:41We all want them to get back together
31:44For you guys to be a real family again
31:45That is our goal
31:48Not any of these other distractions
31:51Listen
31:55You know that I would never do anything to hurt you or put you in danger, right?
32:00If I don't tell you every single detail about what I do on a daily basis
32:04It's just that I don't want to worry you with the petty details
32:07And I shouldn't have to say this
32:10But I don't commit murder
32:12I don't have to
32:14I can get whatever I want without lifting a finger
32:17And the fact is
32:18Killing is a fool's pastime, baby
32:21You know, I trust that I'm much smarter than that
32:23Oh, I know you are
32:26And I know
32:27You'll do whatever it takes to protect me
32:30And our unborn child
32:32No one's putting anything over with my husband
32:35I don't want this
32:36No
32:37Next on Beyond the Gates
32:57I am tired of fighting
33:00She's your sister, baby
33:01The fight has just begun
33:03Leslie and Eva are still here
33:05Determined to ruin our lives every chance they get
33:07You're just hanging out in my parents' foyer
33:09Don't tell me you're here asking my dad for my hand in marriage
33:12Every time I see videos of the articulates in their heyday
33:19Still blows your mind, doesn't it?
33:20That's our grandma
